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

(00:07):
My name's Ken and I clean Willie Nelson's under hole. Under hole?
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 Travis Billy Ross Outlaw Country Show.

(00:32):
Alright, we're here. We're live. We're doing it live. Happy Sunday everybody. I hope everybody had a good week.
Welcome to the Travis Billy Ross Outlaw Country Show. With me as always, Sweet Curbs.
Hey, hey. Hey, hey. Wait, Eric, where's the thing?
I forgot. Come on, man. Don't yell at me. God damn it.

(00:53):
There it is. Why are you getting so fucking angry all the time?
Sweet Curbs with a twinkle in her eye.
I sing this song when I'm driving to work sometimes. Twinkle, glassy, glaze, whatever.
I woke up the other day with that stuck in my head. I did too.

(01:15):
And it was crazy. I had a flight that day and I was like getting preflighting the plane.
Sweet Curbs with a twinkle in her eye. My co-pilot goes, what's he singing?
The next number one banger on the pop charts. Hello.
You'll hear it on Eskimo Cruise Night next year, I promise.
Heck yeah, you will. You'll also hear it at the 50th episode of our show on July 13th.

(01:41):
It's going to be awesome. April. April. Sorry. Why do I keep saying July? I don't know.
See, that's what happens when I start drinking before the show. I get all confused.
Anyway, with me always also, Mr. Eric Goforth. Hi, buddy. What's up, dude?
How's your week been? K-Peso. It's been good, man. Yeah. You're just been good?
Yeah. Yeah. How are your flying missions? Much nicer now.

(02:02):
We're past the holidays. Yeah, the holidays. We're kind of lollygagging now.
Lollygagging. Yeah. I had a really long workday the other day.
I flew from here to Henderson, basically Las Vegas. Henderson.
My workday was 20 minutes long. It's like an hour there, hour back.
Then I sat there for four days and then I flew 20 minutes home.
Next time you go there, man, let me know. I'm going to come hang out with you in Vegas.

(02:24):
We'll go gambling and we'll have a whole... Bring the radio podcast stuff too.
Yes, we're going to podcast. We can go nuts.
All right, y'all, ladies and gentlemen, we have a very cool guest with us today.
I'm not even going to say your name yet. All right. I like it.
I will say. Let's keep it mysterious.
I will say that this lady plays a bass guitar that's taller than she is.

(02:46):
My hair's pretty tall, but it's still taller. It's a big tall one.
Well, with the hair, some days you're a little taller than the bass.
Sometimes it's taller than you. If I ever wear heels instead of Converse,
it might be just right there.
Thank you so much for coming and hanging out with us, Catherine.
This is Catherine Haas. I call her Catherine Curry Haas.

(03:09):
So here's the thing. You only call me Catherine if I'm in trouble.
You're in trouble.
So it's Kat, for sure. And I love this because we'll be on stage and John will be like,
this is my wife Catherine. And I flinch visibly. I'm like, what if I'm not?
She immediately yells, sorry, mom.
Do you be like, why are you yelling at me?
So like kindergarten, I was learning how to spell my name and I was like,

(03:30):
C-A-T. That's a word. That's my name now.
I can see the teacher going, now we need to learn.
No, we don't. My name is Kat.
My name is pretty easy. It's C-A-T.
My middle name is Catherine, and it's spelled like yours, but with Y, I guess not.
With a K. That's not really like yours.
That's close though, because normally there's a lot of other vowels in there.

(03:52):
If it's just the Y. Yeah.
There's so many freaking ways to spell Catherine.
I've only seen it once. Catherine Beaks.
Like we're name twins and her husband's name is John with no H.
Oh, no way. That's wild.
We're the doppel namers.
The doppel namers.
Oh, John is J-O-N.
Yeah, J-O-N. Yeah.
Yeah, the doppel namers.

(04:13):
Yeah. Wow. That's really cool.
That's super cool. All right. So Catherine, or sorry, Kat.
Sorry, you're not in trouble.
We just had this conversation.
We're going to say, did.
We're going to hook an electric buzzer up to a seat.
Yeah. Well, I'll look scared every time. He'll get shocked.
No, I know. You're going to be like, oh, like the squirrel.

(04:35):
So where are you originally from? Are you from Ramona, San Diego area?
Ramona, Ramona, born and raised. Yeah.
Really? Yeah. My parents live one mile away from where John and I bought our house,
and my sister's family lives in the middle. So like, oh, there you go.
I didn't I didn't get that far away. I escaped to RB for like nine months.
And then I came back.

(04:56):
RB Rancho Bernardo. Yeah.
You're an alumni. Hi. RHS alumni. The whole deal.
No. So. Oh, what happened there?
I went to like every possible school because my mom's a teacher.
So wherever she went for like carpooling, it made more sense.
And then so I ended up at Mountain Valley, which was a homeschool program.
And I got bored with high school.
I started college classes early to get out of high school early.

(05:19):
So I'll still go to the Ramona High reunion just because I went to so many schools.
I know everybody in Ramona. You know, I could never go to Albertsons in pajama pants.
Everybody knows you in Ramona. Yes.
And then I married John. Right. So anyone I didn't know before then is like,
oh, you're John Haas's wife. And I'm like, no, he's my husband.
Yes. Damn right. Get it straight.

(05:43):
So so you graduated about the same time, John, or your John is a couple of years older than me.
OK. Oh, and I'm really bad at numbers. So it's going to be fun.
I graduated in 06 and I think he was 04. 06.
So you went to high school together for a couple of years.
Did you go to Ramona High at all? I did. I went there for like a year and a half.
OK. Yeah. Did you? When did you meet John?

(06:06):
So I met him. I was in a punk band in high school.
So, oh, yes, I've seen the Liberty Spikes.
Wait, you were playing bass in the punk band? No, no.
So I played I played guitar. You want to see a picture?
I brought things to distract you guys so I didn't have to talk.
I want to see.
So this is why we need the video podcast here.
So this is the one show that my band, the McGillicuddy's played at Todd Allen's house.

(06:29):
And Todd is now half owner of Ramona Music Center.
So this this was in his his yard. Right.
So yeah, I played lead guitar and I love Lucy.
She was McGillicuddy. Wait, you play lead guitar?
Yeah. Lead. But like you're doing like leads.
No, no, no, no. In a punk band.
So I knew four power chords very quickly while screaming like a banshee.

(06:52):
You know, like I had a lot of confidence back then.
I don't know where it all went. But yeah.
So I broke a string on my Schecter and I went into what used to be called Blue Horse before John bought it.
And I met him there and we were friends for like six years before you.
We realized you could make out with your friend. So.

(07:13):
Funny how that works. Yeah. So you made out a couple of times.
And then this is the one Kirby's talking about, because this always comes up.
So my favorite part about when Kat told me about this photo is that she said she had to lay down in the car because her hair wouldn't fit.
Yeah. So it's it's 12 inch Liberty spikes and that's like the last photo in existence.
But I was talking to my mom earlier. I'm like, for some reason, I have like 12 of these.

(07:37):
Which is the time my mom let me dress her up and do liberty spikes on her hair.
So she's got the chucks, the leather. Yeah.
She just borrowed all my clothes and I did her hair and she went to school that day.
It was like crazy hair day or something. So.
That's so awesome. So did you think that you would be playing bass for the beard and the bird? Absolutely not.

(07:59):
So I thought like beard and the bird. I know you're not the beard. Well, so you're the bird.
We're never going to answer that definitively because, you know, someday you wake up every once in a while.
You've got a couple down here. You know, that happened in your mid thirties. Yeah.
Like it depends on the day, you know. Oh, yeah. But no, yeah, we we have a lot of friends that are from Europe and over there, you know, like it's a chick here.
Like this is my chick or whatever there. It's this is my bird. So it's kind of like a cute beard beard and the bird.

(08:24):
Yeah, that's my bird. No, but I had no intentions of ever being a bass player. I didn't know how to play bass.
And do you guys remember back in like 2012, there was a big power outage.
But 2012. Yeah. So John and I had just moved out together.
He came home with the bass and he was like, here, you're going to learn this.
I was like, OK, you don't need power for that. Yeah.
So I didn't learn it. Spoiler, it leaned against a wall for like 10 years, whatever math.

(08:50):
Right. And I would play like one Christmas set with him every other year so I could play Jingle Bells like really well.
And then when you're like three years ago, he comes home and he's like, all right, babe, don't kill me.
But I signed us up for an Earth Day Festival and I was like, I can't play Jingle Bells at an Earth Day Festival.
He's like, yes, you're going to have to learn. I was there. I was there. Yeah. I was there. So it was crazy.

(09:14):
And then once we had that one successful show, John completely lost his mind.
And now, you know, we just were gigging on both sides of the country now and up in Montreal at the end of this month.
So you guys are killing it, man. You guys are so good. Thank you.
I do appreciate you, especially on the blues jams when you when you sit in and play the bass for the what is that?
Straight cat strut. Oh, yeah. When John can get me to leave the house.

(09:38):
Yeah, he's like, come on. Yeah, I got lucky because obviously I live with a music teacher who can play literally every instrument under the sun, except for trumpet, apparently.
So did he teach you bass? Oh, yeah. Everything. Yeah. He taught me how to read music.
So now he can like the blues jam or whatever.
He can just write down whatever it is real quick and put in front of me and I can read it.

(09:59):
But I have also the memory of a bird. So it's the name works both ways.
So like, I can't remember anything. So like if he's trying to teach me a song, he has to never write it down.
Like, oh, you got to just do it and learn it over and over and over.
So like he doesn't get it because we will play the same songs, you know, in multiple shows.
And he's like, we've played this 50 times. Why don't you know? Like, why can't you remember?

(10:21):
And I'm like, it's gone, babe. There's nothing left. The anxiety kicked it out.
I don't know what happened. It's been replaced. I don't know what happened.
It's gone. I got movie quotes, football stats and cat memes in here.
There's no room for music. Cat memes. It's full of cat memes.
Oh, man. All right. So born, raised Ramona, living still here.

(10:46):
How do you feel about Ramona right now? Like, what do you think about Ramona?
I think it's I mean, there's so I feel like there's so many more people here than I remember.
And also, like the music scene is what I'm most stoked about.
Like, it's huge, right? Just in the past couple of years. Yeah.
Like it makes such a huge difference to have a community because like I feel like before John was trying to coordinate and run everything.

(11:08):
Like at one point, I don't know if you guys know this, John started a radio station in 2012 and it like he just couldn't, you know,
he didn't have enough bandwidth as a person to do four jobs and run a radio station.
He tried to have like a calendar of events for all the gigs of all the musicians and that, you know, it took Michael Rayer to get that off the ground.
You know, so having a community of people doing things and helping is huge because I also get to see my husband every once in a while.

(11:33):
Right. Like he'll come home and I'm like, you're home tonight.
Like, what do you mean? Like for how long? Like, so it's kind of right in the middle of a show.
I know. Right. I'm like, come on. It's fine.
I'm watching vampire diaries for the 50th time, babe. Go home. Go back to the store, which is second home.
I think tonight, I think tonight we've got to highlight some of these cat one liners that she comes up with sometimes.

(11:57):
She's got the quickest, cutest sense of humor. This is nuts. Can I read one?
Yeah, read one. Yeah, this is a PSA. Today, all sentences starting with at least shall be met with a long silence and a particularly potent RBF.
I was so mad that day. Oh my God. I read her crap and I always have to giggle aloud. I just put it down and I'm like, that is funny.

(12:20):
That was after the Bills lost the day before and I had multiple people going, well, at least, well, at least.
And I was just like, I'm normally really nice. I'm not nice today.
So it was probably the follow up to the one before that life hack. If you stand in the shower after your football team loses, no one can tell you're crying.
Follow me for more tips. That happened. Like that happened in real life.
Like John, like the end of that game, I was just like weeping softly on the couch and John's like, what do I do?

(12:43):
I'm like, there's nothing you can do. Just can you go back in time? Yeah. OK.
Nothing. I was trying to explain to him like John has so many passions and he loves so many things and he's excited about everything.
And I have like a fraction of the amount of things I care about.
So there's so much more emotion put into those things. Like, yeah, guys.

(13:05):
Were you a Bills fan before you guys moved or was that once you bought a house?
No, I was a Chargers fan. My dad and I had season tickets for 10 years for the Chargers and then they left.
And so we were kind of like, well, screw that. Like, we're not, you know.
And so I had no team forever. And then John and I ended up buying a house out in Buffalo.
And I got there and I'm like, oh, my God, they have a team, not only a team, they have the most like fervent fan base I've ever seen.

(13:29):
Have you seen videos of them? Oh, yeah.
They will jump on like folding tables like you would use at a picnic that are lit on fire.
They just jump on them. OK. Like that's just like a normal thing. It's crazy.
I mean, it gets cold in Buffalo. Yeah, they're not always on fire, but there's always a folding table.
That's funny. Oh, that's fucking awesome.

(13:51):
Literally, we're jumping on a table. Right, exactly.
So real quick before before the before the show, we were mean, mean, sweet curbs and Eric and Cassie were talking with Kat.
And she's all she's all can we cuss on the show?
So I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? So I was going to ask you, what's your favorite cuss word?

(14:14):
You're going to say it on here.
I'm going to I'm going to throw you a curveball. I'm going to go with gobshite.
So I went to Ireland a fancy long time ago. Yeah.
And my sister and I, we got real popular at the bars because we drank like a lot. Right.
And we would ask everybody like, what is a good curse word out near in Ireland?

(14:36):
And that was one of us gobshite. What does that mean? I like it.
It's just like a shit head. You know, shit head. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
All right. I'm sorry. I'm going to write that sweet curves.
Write that one down. I'm going to use I'm going to use that later on.
Gobshite. They like England and Ireland just take cursing to a next level.
It's an art over there. You know, yeah.
Sometimes it's the only right word at the time. Yeah, for sure.

(14:59):
And if you don't have one, they'll just make one up.
I need a new word for this. Is this situation?
I can't think of one that works. I'll come up with a new one.
And everybody's like, thank God somebody finally came up with that word.
That's true. So, Kat, so this is a this is the Travis Billy Ross outlaw country show.
You like country music? You can throw something at me.

(15:21):
No, I have never been a big fan of country.
I was raised on like, get out. I know.
I'm going to talk of everything. You're not welcome here.
She's going to lose her Ramona card. I know. I know.
And I think, you know, I was talking to my friend Nat last night who had this similar
progression of like in high school, we were punks, right?

(15:43):
Like it was like this gritty kind of angst music, right?
And we both grew up in Ramona where there's horses and there's cows and chickens.
And so it was kind of ingrained to like almost not like country because we live in the country.
So, yeah. And like my parents raised me on like the Beatles and Dire Straits and everything.
So I had that classic rock kind of upbringing. I love Dire Straits. Yeah, right.
They're so good. Doug does the best cover.

(16:06):
You heard his cover of one of their songs. I almost started crying like Doug Walker.
Yes. Oh, yeah. It's amazing.
I'm brain farting on which song it is, but it doesn't matter anyway.
So then I started, you know, dating John and we got married and everything.
And the progression, the closest I can get to is like outlaw country.
Like I like that. OK, so we can get along. Yes.
Yes. But if you asked me to name five outlaw country, I couldn't do that.

(16:29):
You know, we would never do that. But Bluegrass is maybe later.
And let's see how this goes first.
But I love Rockabilly and Psychobilly, which is also kind of country adjacent.
OK, what is the difference in Rockabilly and Psychobilly?
Yeah. So Psychobilly, my understanding is it's electric is the first thing, right?
So you know, electric guitar, kind of like a grittier sound.

(16:51):
And it's also I feel like there's a lot more kind of morbid tones to the lyrics.
So it like misfits sometimes borderline Psychobilly.
And they talk about like being in love with a corpse and, you know, sort of weird stuff.
And they turn it into kind of like a campy thing. So, you know, Rockabilly was also kind of a Johnny Cash thing.
Like he's kind of kind of kicked that Rockabilly and like, yeah, it's like that that boom, boom, boom.

(17:17):
Like, yeah, that type of style of music where where he would Johnny Cash.
You like Johnny Cash? Yeah, I love Johnny Cash. Yeah.
That song. Oh, man, can't remember the name of it. God damn it.
Walk the line. Walk the line. That one, that one or even the the car one, the one piece at a time.
One piece at a time. That that type of style of just like telling that story and having that beat go with it.

(17:44):
And great story. Oh, man. Johnny Cash.
If you've ever heard about the the flag, American flag song that he did, it wasn't even a song.
It was just like a monologue that he did. No. Talking about the this whole flag.
This ragged old flag, I think that's what it was. It was a cool little story.
One monologue that he did for it. It was turned into a song.
But when he was not singing it, he was just kind of talking, telling the little poem behind it. Yeah.

(18:11):
There's a word for that. And it has escaped me right now.
But it was like folklore, full something telling or something like that.
Because yeah, and they all kind of like that, like fabricated stories that were not really part of his life.
Like Boy Me Boy Namesu. Right. Yeah. Yeah.
And then like Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson. Like, have you heard her stuff?
I've never even heard of her. I think you probably have, though.
Like, you know, the song like Stupid Cupid? Oh, yeah. Like that was okay.

(18:36):
And Funnel of Love. So she's I want to hear that. She's awesome.
What? Who is it again? Wanda Jackson. Wanda Jackson.
Yeah. So either Stupid Cupid or Funnel of Love.
Oh, crap. OK. Well, shoot. Let's go fire it up.
Man. Well, Eric, you got that in your queue?
Yeah. Yeah. I was all over that here.
It'll definitely come up. But since you guys were talking, fingers of fear.

(19:00):
You were talking. I was already putting shit together. So let's start with this.
In a little cabaret in a south Texas border town
Set a boy and his guitar and the people came from all around
And all the girls from there to Austin

(19:24):
Were slipping away from home and putting jewelry in box
To take the trip, to go and listen
To the little dark haired boy that played the Tennessee flat top box
That he would play

(20:03):
Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle and he never cared to make a dime
He would give him his guitar and he'd be happy all the time
And all the girls from nine to ninety
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes and begging him
Don't stop and hypnotize and fascinated

(20:28):
By the little dark haired boy that played the Tennessee flat top box
That he would play

(20:56):
Then one day he was gone and no one ever saw him round
And he vanished like the breeze and they forgot him in the little town
But all the girls still dreamed about him
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked
And then one day on the hit parade

(21:21):
Was a little dark haired boy that played the Tennessee flat top box
That he would play

(21:56):
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

(22:21):
Black and orange stray cat sitting on a 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

(22:43):
Stray cat strut, I'm a
Fleece cat
I'm a feeling passing over, hey
Bad in that side, get a shoes run at me from a mean old man
Getting my dinner from a garbage can

(23:04):
Get on cross my pants
I don't bother chasing my surround

(23:26):
Oh no
I slid down the alley looking for a fight
I fell into the blood on a hot summer night
Singing the blues while the lady cats cry
Wow stray cat, you're the real dog
I wish I could be as Catherine Wilder
Cat class and I got cat style

(24:11):
I don't bother chasing my surround

(24:32):
I slid down the alley looking for a fight
I fell into the blood on a hot summer night
Singing the blues while the lady cats cry
Wow stray cat, you're the real dog
I wish I could be as Catherine Wilder
Cat class and I got cat style

(25:05):
Little light, big crowd
Two box plays loud
No tears, no care
Everybody rocking everywhere
Rock house, rock house, rock house

(25:27):
We're going to the rock house, rock a rock house
We'll rock it in the morning, rock it in daylight
Rocking through the evening and won't be home tonight
Rock house, we're going to the rock house, rock a rock house

(26:08):
Heartache, ill-lure
No trouble, no blues
Come on, come on

(26:30):
We'll rock it up and have a ball
We're going to the rock house, rock a rock house
We'll rock it in the morning, rock it in daylight
Rocking through the evening and won't be home tonight

(26:51):
Rock house, we're going to the rock house, rock a rock house
Alright, we're back
We're hanging out with, I'm going to call her Catherine

(27:12):
Oh, don't do it
You're not in trouble, Catherine
It's pretty in writing, but I'm like traumatized to it
Catherine Currie?
Currie Haas
Yeah, like the spice, Indian food
So that was so funny, we were just talking about cuss words again
It's like an obsession all of a sudden

(27:35):
It's really going to try to get me to do it
Dear therapists
We were talking about cuss words and things that we would say instead of the cuss word
Like cheese whiz
Cheese whiz
Mother, father
Mother, father
Father

(27:56):
We just went for it
Cheese and rice, no
One of my friends at work, his daughter was like three
He sent me this video and she's like on the couch, she's just tidying it
She goes like, and the mom was like, both heads turned
What did you just say? Did you say truck? Truck?
Yeah
It was like straight eye contact
No I did not

(28:17):
This is the best thing I've ever seen in my life
Put that on TikTok immediately
There's always that kid on the memes and stuff where he's like, bullshit?
Bullshit?
Bullshit
It'll be like hooked to a meme like, I love going to my in-laws

(28:39):
And the kid will be like, bullshit, bullshit
Little kids cussing is the best
Or what was the one that was like a family and they had like six kids and they were like 12 to like two
And they went down the line saying, just tell each one to say perfect
And it got to the two-year-old and they went, perfect, perfect, perfect, fuck it
Fuck it

(29:00):
And they were like, yes
Sounds good
So much fun
All right, so Kat
Yeah
So you're not in trouble anymore
Hey
No, I'm just kidding
What's your actual day job?
Like you write stuff, right?
Yeah
So I'm a project manager

(29:21):
That's like the boring job that I do to pay bills and stuff
But I write novels
So I've written like five novels
None of them are out in the world because I don't know how familiar you guys are with like the querying process
And trying to get a literary agent
It's a nightmare
It's like imagine trying to get an agent for music
Only you've spent like three years writing the song
Nobody wants it

(29:42):
So what is the... and maybe there's not a difference, maybe it's the same thing
So I used to work with a lady and she writes books
She publishes them on like Amazon
Yeah, you can self publish for sure
The tricky thing is as soon as you self publish, no agent will ever touch it
So they may sign you, but that book is like...
Done
Yeah, so then John's always like, you should just try it

(30:04):
And I'm like, okay, so which five of my children would you like me to like sacrifice to Amazon, right?
Oh my god
So what kind of books have you written?
Like what are they? Are they true stories, novels?
No, all fiction
So I do a lot of romantic comedy
So I just inject like, you know, funny things into an awkward situation
And then I had like a fantasy one

(30:28):
Trying to think
Right now the one that I'm writing is like a love story where a ghost is haunting the house
And he wants the person to leave
So it's kind of funny
But it's called ghosted with a capital E because his name is Ed
Oh, I like it
Ghosted
Oh, ghosted
See, I'm not that clever or creative

(30:49):
I live on puns
So I was going to say, is that from like a story from the house that you guys got in New York?
Yeah, kind of inspired by that
So the house out there we named her Eloise
So we're like restoring this house
And I'm thinking like this might be a good story of someone
First of all, how old is this house?
Because we're talking about ghosts
It's over 100 years old, right?
120 I think
That's so cool

(31:10):
Yeah, she's old
But we got super lucky too
Because it was like pretty much move in ready
So everything we're doing there is just making it better and more us
Like we have the Jagger room
You guys want to guess why?
Mick Jagger
Does it have the moves like Jagger?
No, maybe, but why else would it be?
Because we painted it black

(31:31):
Was there a big lift chair or mirror when you moved in?
Yeah, so that's like our maximum strength
So just like gold everything
Like I've hated gold my whole life
And now it's just a complete 360, 180, whatever
Where everything out there
We have gold frames and gold mirrors that look haunted

(31:53):
It's a 359
You're almost to the point where you're like, yep
Now I hate it again
Send it all back
Yes
So you said you're five?
Five, I think the last count was five
Are there any like series or just finished kind of things?

(32:16):
They're all separate
One of them will be a trilogy
I don't want to spend the time
It sounds terrible
But I don't want to spend the time to write all three if no one's ever going to touch one
And it's kind of funny because I keep getting like stalled out on something
Like one of them was set in Russia, Ukraine
Like can't touch that one now
Like no one's going to want that right now
And the other one is like a YA novel

(32:38):
Where can I find this?
You can't, they're on my hard drive
What?
In her hard drive
How is anybody ever going to read them if you don't put them out there?
I want to read them
I know, that's the hard part
I got to start querying again
It's just kind of a nightmare
Because basically you have to write a summary of whatever the story is about
You send it to like 50 agents and they all write back
And they're like, oh sorry, not a good fit for my list right now

(33:01):
So you kind of just get rejected over and over
And as you might imagine, I don't handle that well
I say just do it yourself, man
I think eventually I should
Just do it
I have to pick which one
Which one, Travis?
Do whichever
The second one
All of them
The second one is my best one
See?
I don't want to get the best one

(33:22):
I want to read them all
I also wrote a kids book called My Dearest Eloise
About the house
And it's like a poem story thing
And John is working on the animation
Or the animation that doesn't move
You're going to make a musical out of it?
Well we have a song that's coming out
That's called My Dearest Eloise
So we're really on brand with that
She has an Instagram called My Dearest Eloise
Dude, you know what Ramona needs?

(33:45):
Ramona needs a musical
I think a story about Ramona
And all of us musicians here in Ramona
Need to actually put it on
And play the music
And act the whole story out
I love it
About Ramona
I think Travis Doll and I
Would focus on the burritos of Ramona
Ours would be all about the different
Mexican

(34:06):
Well, okay
You guys can be about the burritos
But I want to be about the tacos
You can do tacos
I'm not a taco person
I'm going to take tacos
You guys take burritos
John might fight you for tacos
Maybe me and John could do it again
Perfect
Me and John could do tacos together
Yeah, ask him about the taco diet sometimes
Taco diet
It's not even fair, Kirby
He'll be like, I'm going to go

(34:27):
He invented this diet
And then he'll be like
I'm going to go on the taco diet
And just lose 10 pounds in like an hour
You know, and he's just thinking about it
He just eats tacos every day?
Yeah, he did it before our wedding
And he lost like 20 pounds just eating tacos
And he'd just state tacos?
Yeah
Well tacos were healthy
I mean, while I'm running five miles a day
And eating like four green peas
And like not losing anything
Still not zipping
What are you doing?

(34:48):
I don't need to breathe
It's fine
Just zip it up
Squeeze in there
That would be fun to do though, honestly
Yes, they do
Of Ramona musical
I like it
Yeah, that you should write
Oh, am I writing it now?
I'm writing it now

(35:09):
You're writing it now
Well, now that I know that you have
I missed that part
Now that I know that you have five novels
That you put out
You didn't know you came up with job opportunities
I like it
I think it would be cool
Yeah, no, I love writing
I write for the home journal
Like Michael Rayer and I are super close
And he'll text me every once in a while
And be like, are you going to write something ever again?
And I'm like, I just don't have any ideas right now
So that's the hard part
If you feed me ideas
I got you

(35:30):
There you go, there's an idea
Okay
And we got plenty of musicians to back up
The whole musical part of it
I love it
That would be pretty freaking cool
And like I have costumes for everyone
My closet's ridiculous
Dude, your closet is amazing
I was going to say, your closet's
No, but you have better clothes than me
Mine are like normal clothes
You have like an eclectic
But I don't have a walk-in
Which means I have to like assault my closet

(35:51):
To get anything in and out
She has a whole room
I know
I have such a bad closet envy
That's pretty cool
I saw like the picture of it too
I think you put it on Facebook
I was like, oh my God, John
Why haven't you done this?
You see, John, why haven't you done this?
I have a garage closet
Half the men in town all have it
Half the men in town all got that same luxury
I'm just saying

(36:12):
Yes, you know
Just for disclaimer
I'm sorry about that, gentlemen
Oh my gosh
I did that for my girlfriend
Because I love her a lot
What, no
What happened, I mean he does love me
But what happens is
My clothes were eating our bedrooms
So just keep buying shit
And like build it and they will come
Like, you've built a dream
I need a clip of that to play for John
Yeah
He told me to just keep buying

(36:33):
Keep buying shit
Well, because before I left for Texas
He hadn't built it yet for Christmas
And he was always bitching about the amount of clothes I had
And he got me for Christmas probably
$500 worth of clothes from the Rusted Poppy
Like two huge boxes of clothes
I know
And I remember thinking as I'm opening this
I'm shooting myself in the foot here
These are awesome
Like definitely things I would wear
But your biggest complaint is about my clothes

(36:57):
Why would you buy me more clothes?
And then I come home and then I had a closet
Honey, it's a guy thing, you know
We'll bitch about the things that make you happy
But we'll go out and make you happy with things you bitch about
See, Eric?
That's why I love you, man
That's perfect
See?
That's why I love this guy right here, Eric
He understands me
John got me like five dresses for Christmas
And I'm like, I have no room for any of this

(37:18):
That was me
I'm like, I don't know where I'm going to put this
Half my stuff's on the table
Just sitting across the dresser now, but okay
I'm like breaking out of hives
I'm like, there's three boxes that are going to be delivered soon
That have more dresses in them
I gotta get home before it's too late
Here we go
Why are you so stressed out, babe?
No reason
No reason?
But damn it, I don't know where I'm going to put all these things
You bought that one dress in every color

(37:40):
Yeah
Well, then there's the people that sort their clothes like seasonally, you know what I mean?
I would think that scene in the Addams Family
Uncle Nick-Nack's winter wardrobe
Uncle Nick-Nack
Oh, I love it, yes
Yeah, I have mine by color, which is just so neurotic
Like if you stand outside of my closet, it kind of looks like a rainbow, you know

(38:01):
Which makes me happy
But you can't get anything in and out of it without getting injured
But you know, hashtag boy
Hyperventilating at least once, yeah
Yeah, the wild thing is it doesn't matter what theme anybody seems to try to come up with in Ramona
She's always the first one to show up to the nines in that theme
It's like, what?
And three other people have come and borrowed my clothes

(38:22):
Yeah
Oh, right, right
There was one that stuck me though
You got a rad wardrobe
I think it was like a cowboy themed thing
I don't have cowboy boots, I don't have a cowboy hat
You got a new little dress I saw though
I have that now, I can wear that now
I love that dress, I'm so excited
Did you see that video?
It was ridiculous
It has little tassels and like
Just like long sleeve buttons up to here with tassels
The whole deal

(38:43):
Yes, where am I going to wear that?
It's Albertsons
It's going to be great
I'm going Albertsons
Sushi, here we go
Let's go
John is no longer surprised by anything that I come out of my office wearing
That's funny
All right, I want to hear one of their songs
Yeah
What was your latest one? 219?
Yeah, 219
Can we hear that?
Can we listen to that one?
Yeah, totes
My Dear Sal Luiz is coming out this year at some point

(39:05):
And there was that other
Who did we were talking about on the break?
Uncle Ben's Remedy
Uncle Ben's Remedy
The greatest like live band and recordings of course
But like you guys have to see them live at some point
It is mind blowing
Do they tour the West Coast?
John's trying to bring them out here
And then we're going to set up like a tour with Big Sky Moon
Well maybe we need to go to New York with you guys
Let's do that too
Yes, I love it

(39:26):
I want to take a trip out to New York
I haven't been there in several years
Huge music scene
Everybody is so nice and inviting
But also still like New Yorkers
So they're kind of stoic
And they all want to know why John is so friendly and happy all the time
They think he's a murderer
Someone described him as like
What was it?
They're going to love me
Just like a cooler full of heads in the basement kind of nice

(39:51):
That's so accurate and terrifying
He's going to kill us all
We don't have a basement
With love
We don't have coolers, we have a cooler with one head
Calm down
We're just starting out
There's just one, it's fine
Nobody can't
We're just starting
Which Uncle Ben's remedy song did you want?
I would say All Hat
Alright, got it
But I want to hear about 219

(40:13):
How'd that come about?
Oh yeah
I can't remember if it was out when John was on the show or not
Let's assume not
I'm not sure of the timing on that
But it was the first song that he and I wrote together
At the same time trapped in a car and we didn't murder each other
So let's just pause a moment for that
Thank God
It's really challenging
We've realized

(40:35):
Because obviously I write novels
And I've written poetry my whole life
He's written songs
So you put two people together and you're arguing about a comma
You know what I mean?
Or you don't have a comma in a song
But a the
That I need that the there
And John's like
We can't because you can't fit that many words in that count
And I'm like no it's going to be there
Watch me do it
I want to do the song then
Yeah exactly

(40:56):
I'm like I don't know why it matters but it does
So yeah we had a gig in Rochester
So we had like a two hour drive
And part of that is the 219
Which is the most gorgeous highway I've ever seen
In every season
It's like fall of course is just breathtaking
It's more colors than I can imagine seeing at any point in time
And then when it's like spring summer
80 Shades of Green is one of the lyrics in there

(41:18):
So we wrote the song together
And it's
Yeah it just kind of talks about all the key things around where we live
I love it
I love it
So as we go into the song I have another cat quote
Cat quote?
I got a cat quote
That's going to be a new thing now
I know
I love the cat quote
She's got the great cat quote
That's hilarious
I ate too much cheese

(41:39):
And now I can't accomplish anything
And autobiography
That sounds like something
I remember that one
Yeah if you need to get away from the stress and the worries of your life
If every day feels like you're dancing on the edge of the night
If that concrete jungle bogey is driving you insane

(42:00):
There's a paradise just over that two lane
Take the 219
The prettiest thing you ever saw
Where the air is pristine
There's 80 shades of green
Come on baby take the 219

(42:21):
If Monday morning feels like you're deeper in the muck
If Tuesday afternoon it's getting hard to give a damn
When hump day comes around
But you're the one that's getting humped
That car is not that far to get you out of that sun
Take the 219

(42:43):
Let's go

(43:16):
Heaven knows you got no nose left for the grindstone
That candle you've been burning's all out of wax
And even better there's no chatter left for the rat race
Kick those tires like fires
Put the pedal to the max
Get enchanted by the hills down to the valley of the soul

(43:40):
There's fire in those waterfalls
Who could ask for more?
Black diamonds are a girl's best friend
Live that life like sun and snow
Whatever reason, month or season
Now's the time to go, take the 219

(44:03):

(44:29):
Now I look at them douchebags and these trucks
Out there clogging all them sobers up now
I think they're making up for something that they lack
Just look at them truck nuts hanging off the back now
I've grown tits and a mousy oak trim
The only thing you ever haul is the ratchet ass girlfriend
Mop a ball through a diesel just to hear it rattle

(44:53):
You're all hat and no cattle
All hat and no cattle
They're brand new work boots, ain't never worked
I bet that car heart ain't never seen the dirt now
Your belt buckle's probably bigger than your penis

(45:17):
You're about as country as chasing L-T-N-S
You go back country and it's right in your strip
You better put another dip in that dip chit-lit
Your ass ain't ever smell like saddle
You're all hat and no cattle

(45:57):
Cowboy boots are made for riding horses
Not for riding in the overlands
I wore holes in the knees of my blue jeans
You're all yours as a marlberry red
Well I know you're only trying to fit in
The lower nose we can all relate

(46:21):
A comfortable got noses like hound dogs
We can smell your fake mallow way

(46:43):
Shake, shake, let it shake

(47:05):
Well it's a crazy little world, a crazy world
We're living in a never thought once
If I'm packing up and giving in
Sleeping all day and rocking all night
Let's shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Well the payday's coming and my work is all done
Gonna dress real nice cause my baby's number one
Gonna rock a little big, gonna have a little fun

(47:28):
Well I'm picking up my baby at half past eight
Docking on the door, honey don't be late
She's dope with me, oh she's all mine
She ain't nothing but fine, fine, fine
Today's with my baby, shaking all night long
Give me those hips and let's get real gone
Me and you honey, we can't go wrong

(48:18):
Well I'm picking up my baby at half past eight
Docking on the door, honey don't be late
She's dope with me, man, she's all mine
She ain't nothing but fine, fine, fine

(48:39):
Today's with my baby, shaking all night long
Give me those hips, let's get real gone
Me and you honey, we can't go wrong
Bread and roll, let's shake, shake it all over

(49:01):
Oh, let's shake, let's shake, shake, shake
One, two, three, four

(49:36):
Oh, let's shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Oh, let's shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

(50:15):
Alright, we're back!
The conversations when the music's playing
We're hanging out with...
What's my name?
Catherine
Yes, Catherine
Deciding if I'm in trouble or not

(50:36):
Well I don't know, if you're in trouble or not, I'd say Catherine Cat
Do you think I could have had more complicated hair for this?
Well, it looks good
I know it looks good, you look better than me
Because I don't have my hat on
What do you mean? I see your hat
What do you mean?
There's the hat on
Let me put this damn thing on right here

(50:57):
There we go, that looks better
That is the greatest
It looks good with your tuxedo
Looks good with your tuxedo
My tuxedo, my flannel tuxedo
So you know, we do have to do some shout outs
Because we have some sponsors for the show
That take care of us and help us out

(51:19):
With everything for the show
We have The Barn over there on Main Street
New sponsor?
Yeah
Thank you, Barn
Thank you so much, Weedo
Have you had their lasagna yet?
Their Caesar salad is next level
Their Caesar salad is super good
Their Caesar salad is legend, yeah
Oh yeah, dude, I had the...
They had a steak there
I think it was the...

(51:40):
No, Travis, you always get the barn chicken
That and the barn chicken
The barn chicken was always really good
With the mashed potatoes and the grilled onions
They have a secret chimichurri sauce too
That John found out about
So he'll get chimichurri sauce
John's got the in
He's like, alright, hook me up with that
Listen, don't tell me there's no sauce

(52:02):
Because I know it's back there
I'll go get it myself
I'm John Hawes
Don't make me have Margie or Vito come out here, okay?
You know I am, I'm John Hawes
I know it's back there
If you want to make friends with John
Just get some elaborate sauces
Oh man, yeah, so we want to thank The Barn
And Vito
And your crew over there for sponsoring the show

(52:23):
They got a hell of a stage for all that live music
They got a hell of a stage, the new lounge
Actually, I play there on some Tuesdays
You guys play there on some Tuesdays, don't you?
Yeah, we've played like Fridays
I think John is there next week
Next week, next Tuesday?
I think so
Yeah
So they're doing a
He's opened up the back area

(52:44):
They call it the lounge
Which is frickin' awesome
Because the seats are amazing
Leather seats, nice and comfortable
Good cocktails, good stuff
Good music, good things that are happening
I like the close big business meetings back there
21 and over
21 and up, yeah, so no kids running around
I don't have anything against kids running around

(53:05):
Even better if they're cussing, right?
They can only come back if they're cursing
They need to cuss a little bit more
That kid has character, I like him
Colorful, good job
Good parenting
So if you haven't checked out The Barn, go over there
Check them out, they have live music
They have a badass stage, good staff, good folks
Good drinks, check them out, it's awesome

(53:28):
342 Main Street, barndininganddancing.com
There you go, there you have it, thanks
Catherine, I'm sorry, Kat
Okay
You're in trouble now
I think this makes three weeks in a row that you've butchered our guest names up so bad
Catherine, I call her Catherine
You know why I call you Catherine? Because that's your name on Facebook
I know, that's what John says all the time

(53:49):
He's like, it's confusing because you're Catherine
I'm like, look at how pretty it is
It looks beautiful, I love Catherine
That's a nice name
Kat Hawes sounds weird, Kat Corry sounds fine
I'm like, I'm a little bit of a identity crisis all the time
Oh man, see I forgot what I was going to ask you because of that whole thing, Eric
What the hell?
Sorry

(54:11):
He's going to panic every time he asks me questions
Now I'm stressing
No
Well if it makes you feel any better when I hear Catherine
I feel like I'm in trouble too because
My mom will do double names, Kirby Catherine
Kirby Catherine
What's your middle name, Kat?
Catherine Lee Currie
I'll start using that then
Catherine Lee

(54:33):
For some reason that doesn't affect me as much
What is up with that?
Catherine Lee Currie Hawes
You better tell me
Who do you think the king of country is?
You've heard the show
So you know that we have this ongoing spat
George Strait, right?
Absolutely
Alright, get out of my way

(54:55):
So, full disclosure, I have no idea who that is
Alright, we'll see you Kat
Wait, I took a note
Honestly, you don't know who George Strait is?
Catherine Lee, we'll see you later
Alright, he might like you a little bit more
Am I allowed here now?
She's so removed from it
She doesn't even know who he is
Wait, okay
So you don't know who

(55:17):
George Strait is?
No, so the extent of my country knowledge
I have a giant teddy bear from my childhood
named Randy Travis
Same era
Yeah, Randy Travis
Do you guys know Wayne Hancock?
So, I love his music
I think he's country, or outlaw country
I'm gonna name drop that one
What year? How old?

(55:39):
Not very old
Wayne Hancock
Oh, that came in the 50s
No, he's in his 50s
So like right now, he's still touring
Yeah, for sure
Thunderstorms and neon signs
would be like my favorite song by him
But he has the coolest voice
Listen to that voice
Oh, that sounds

(56:01):
That's new? Wait, what?
That sounds like Hank 3
It does actually
kind of sound like Hank 3
There's some overlap there too, like he wrote a song that Hank 3
performed
Again, I don't know anything
If you ask John, he will give you the accurate answer
He sounds like Hank Williams
He sounds like the actual king of country
Wait, who is?

(56:23):
Hank Williams Sr.
So Hank Williams Sr. is the king of country
I don't know who that is either
Hank Williams Sr. What?
Should I leave?
He was born in 65
Catherine Lee
So Wayne Hancock
is 59
I'm so lonesome I could cry
That's Hank Williams Sr.

(56:45):
You don't know this song at all
This song right here
No kidding
I've never heard this song before
What?
Amarillo by Morning by George Strait
Not the king of country
Huh
I'll be damned
Don't judge it on me
This is going to be an interesting music battle

(57:07):
that we're going to have later on
The gesture of country maybe now
The gesture
The jook of country
It is what it is
The jook of country
Alright
So her king of country is Wayne Hancock
There you go
Queen
Queen

(57:29):
Sierra Farrell
Does that work?
I like Sierra Farrell
In my opinion
She's a little too new to be the queen
But I do think she's very good
I love her
She's very good
Let's go on to Jackson then
Wait
Dolly Parton

(57:51):
I know maybe two songs
by Dolly Parton
But I love her as a person
The amount of money she has put to get books to children
My goodness
She's a hell of a lady
She just rocks wigs
I love that
Have you all ever traveled to Dollywood?
Me and my pops
Me and my dad

(58:13):
Went on a Harley ride
We went up riding around in those areas over there
And we drove by Dollywood
He's like yeah
He's like you know Dolly Parton
I'm like are you kidding me dude
Of course I know Dolly Parton bro
What am I? Cat Curry?
Of course I know country
My dad is like
Do you know Dolly Parton?

(58:35):
I'm like what?
I'm like I'm going to Pigeon Forge and go to Dollywood
I've been there
That's the name of our theme park Dollywood
It's like Hollywood but Dollywood
There's like an Elvis version of that too
I went to Graceland
No but Dollywood
Is like an amusement park
There's roller coasters
It's like a

(58:57):
It's like a Six Flags
In her hometown of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
Yeah the whole thing
And then that same trip
I was just talking about going there
Went to Graceland
Nice cool
Yeah I grew up listening to a lot of Elvis
Because my godfather was like a huge
Elvis fan, he had like the hair
too you know

(59:19):
And he and my dad were in a band together for a long time
In the sheriff's department they were like
The band, they were called the Blue Line
And so they would perform at all the sheriff's events
And everything so also Eric you need to be
Best friends with my dad because he's a pilot
I'm already best friends with him
Just like that
I love him
I love him already
I don't know his name but there was a gentleman

(59:41):
In my cosmetology school that looked like Elvis
Not looked like he was an Elvis impersonator
And he would get his hair dyed
He was probably in his 60s would get his hair dyed
Jet black and the whole pompadour Elvis style
And sometimes he would come in in his little
Outfits
Got his little jumpsuit on
He had one that was all white leather with tassels
And when he put his arms out it had like the
Straight up Vegas stuff

(01:00:03):
He was very committed yeah
My godfather would love that
Where does your dad live? He lives a mile away from me
So yeah we're going to have to go flying
He flew helicopters for the sheriff's department
And planes and all kinds of stuff
Really good at crash landing
Does he still fly? No no he hasn't
He retired
10 or 12 years ago
Probably but his call sign was crash

(01:00:25):
You should ask him about that
He's like really good at like
Successfully crashing aircraft
Which is a skill in itself
It is you're like wow this is going to hurt
That's like one of my earliest memories
In life was like
I had to be 3 or something
And we were all at home and
My dad called and my mom answered
And he's like I'm going to be late

(01:00:47):
To dinner and turn on channel 8
And it was like
They had the news talking about how he had to
Fly burn all the fuel
Because the landing gear wouldn't come down
So he kept having to buzz the tower to see
If it came down or not
That happened to me on a commercial flight
The landing gear wouldn't come down
And I didn't learn any of this
The pilot handled it very well until after we landed

(01:01:09):
They're supposed to be on a commercial airliner
Four wings that come out
To help you land and there was only two flaps
Sorry there was only two that were functioning
So he comes on the loudspeaker and he's like
Hey guys like
We're having some malfunctions we only have two flaps
We should have four all that means is
Coming in hot
That's what it means
The professional pilots

(01:01:31):
Technically it's called coming in hot
Yes
So then I was going to Texas
I was landing at Love Field
So then we get the announcement
After that oh we're making our descent
So you think oh 15, 20 minutes
No an hour and a half later we're still circling
And then 30 minutes after
That they're like okay we're really making our descent
And then when we landed

(01:01:53):
We did not go to any kind of terminal
Gate whatever we were like in the middle of a field
There were not a field
Did you need to go down the slide?
No we had to sit this is it was crazy
So we land and then we all look out the side of the window
You know of the plane and there's
Paramedics
Fire trucks police cars
So then we find out he was in fact burning
Fuel because we were going to be landing so fast

(01:02:15):
And so hot that they didn't know if something could explode
Cause a spark whatever
And then we had to sit for a very arbitrary
It was like 93 minutes
93 minutes
We had to sit there before they could move us to a gate
Not 94
Ladies and gentlemen we're going to be uh
You know the worst part of the pilot is
The copilot are out there giving each other pats on the back
Dude that was awesome

(01:02:37):
And then about 20 minutes later somebody goes
Did you set the stopwatch? We got 93 minutes
Oh shit
I don't mind about 93 minutes but like
We're still on the plane I know there's cocktails
Back there like can we get beverage service?
Bring me an ice cream
They should also tell you exactly which movies are available
Are 92 minutes right? So you don't have to like
Cut it off at the end of it
Kung Fu Panda 3 is a running time of

(01:02:59):
91 minutes
In 48 seconds
91 minutes if I watched the credits I'm at 93 and a half
So that should be good
Same I was like this is wild
That's crazy
Or you know those movies that always have the extra
Deleted scenes
That was like the departed
I'd never seen the departed and I watched it on a plane
And it landed and there were like

(01:03:21):
Four minutes left and that's like the
Biggest part have you guys seen that movie? I didn't see
The end of that movie for like a year
And the whole thing changes in like the last four minutes
We were just talking about that movie
With someone I was like what's that movie with Alec Baldwin and they all have
Those super heavy Boston
Accents? Yeah and I loved
That movie until I saw the last four
Minutes so I was like I just never should have watched the end
Like

(01:03:43):
Choose your own adventure
Just make up your own ending
I'm just going to imagine he has this cranberry juice and he's happy
Like yeah
That's nuts yeah
That's funny. Holy crap so what are you
What are you drinking there Cass?
Cass now. Cass!
I have an assortment of green
Teas. Catherine you're not in
Trouble again but you got an assortment of green

(01:04:05):
Teas. Yeah so I have jasmine
Green tea and then oi ocha
Which I can't speak Japanese so two different kinds
Of tea. John is convinced this
One tastes like dirt but it's delicious
And I guess dirt tastes good babe
What's wrong with you?
Is it like barley tea?
It's like when people say stuff like
When women are pregnant and they say
I'm craving dirt. I'm like at what

(01:04:27):
Point did you eat dirt?
Mud pies bro. You didn't make mud pies as a kid?
I think there's weird things
I had a friend in
How do you know when it's dirt?
In high school
Her mom when she was pregnant would
They had the powder tide
Detergent. She would lick her finger
And lick it. Yes like
She had a craving and I mean obviously

(01:04:49):
I'd hope she'd never just like
A free base powder tide before
Then they started making them into
Little gel things in 2015
That's different. That's like a whole Tide Pod
She would like you know like the cheeto
Desk at the bottom and you
Well that's like the weird flavors
That end up in wine too where people
That are learning how to be wine experts. They're like
This is hints of tennis ball and

(01:05:11):
Tabacco
When did you eat a tennis ball?
This tastes like tennis ball. Yeah
I'd smell them. Like no joke they said that
And I'm like are you kidding with me?
I'm not you know intellectual enough to know
What wine shit tastes like. I don't want to know about your ball and take Susan
Those
Those sommeliers have like
This book of like describing shit
Tennis ball. I get hints of plum

(01:05:33):
Maybe. Plum. Yeah plum I can get plum
Hints of dirt maybe because it came from dirt but
Tennis ball no
Yeah tennis ball
This tastes like tennis ball. Have you ever opened up a
Aladre Agassi would love this wine. Have you ever
Opened up a brand new can of tennis balls? They stink
Yeah. I don't like them. It's probably
A bad thing. They're probably like this is not a good
Year. Oh maybe. Yeah they didn't win
Wimbled in on this one you know. This is our tennis ball

(01:05:55):
Wine. It's like you know those little baby swimming
Pools the baby pools you get Kmart
Walmart whatever. Yeah they smell like plastic. They smell like
Those like probably like
The tennis balls or like. Probably
Plastic. They just want to be more like
More prestige so instead of being like
Classic. It smells like that classic
Kmart
Baby pool
I'll 13

(01:06:17):
It smells like
I'll 13
Kmart. I miss Kmart
I know I do too man
I got kicked out of there a lot. Did you?
For what? Being a dumb look. Routian
No my friends would like put me in those big Tupperwares
And like push me down the aisle real fast. Oh no
It was fun. They didn't like it.
What? You got kicked out of Kmart?
I got kicked out of Kmart.

(01:06:39):
Right a few times.
Don't tell my mom
Just kidding. She's listening. So your mom's
Probably not listening to this show.
Oh she will. 100%. My mom is so cool.
Did you see those
Liberty spikes? Yes. Do you want to see the picture
Again? I showed her
The FaceTime earlier.
Look at this. Alright so
Kat we have we ask all the guests

(01:07:01):
This question. And if it's
Too much it's okay. Have you ever been arrested?
No. Never? No.
So you've been you've gotten away with
Quite a lot of stuff. Did you hear the part
About what my dad's profession was?
No basically everyone in my
Family is sheriff's department. My brother
In law. My sister was in dispatch. My mom
Was in what's it called? Like the
Evidence clerk. My dad was lieutenant

(01:07:23):
So my father yeah
So I had to behave.
I didn't ever get out of being arrested either I
Should clarify. I was really
Hoping for one of those preacher daughter stories
You know. Don't arrest me
My dad's the you know
I feel like it goes either way if your
Family's law enforcement either you're like
Very good and like follow the rules or
You're a delinquent. Oh I was a delinquent

(01:07:45):
But I you know I got
Away with it I guess. I climbed out of some
Windows. Well you got kicked out of Kmart
A couple times. That's
Pretty sketchy.
She ended up in the Kmart top 10
America's most wanted
Is that why your picture was behind
The register when I would go in?
Please do not let this lady in here
It was like this mug shot exactly

(01:08:07):
She can't sit up in cars
And she can't come into Kmart
I was like who is
That Venice?
Yes
Oh man
Oh damn that's funny
That's great. Okay so we also
Ask most of the guests
Not all of them we always forget about this question
What's up? If you were stranded

(01:08:29):
Not on an island
If you were in a spaceship somewhere
We gotta differentiate
We gotta
Differentiate. You had a toilet
And 600 square feet of room
That's what you got
You got a choice of
Song, food
And drink. One of each you can have
For the rest of your life in your pod

(01:08:51):
I don't get books. I'm jumping out of the pod
I read so much
Okay one book then
We can trade your yeah
We could swap out a book for
What? Song?
Curious George Goes to Town
There are certain books that I could read over and over
That's fair
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
I read that once every couple years

(01:09:13):
It's always good
Pride and Prejudice
Pretty much any version of the movie
Or shows are good too
Food
Food is my love language dude
Mine was cheese
She said vodka milk
No I didn't say vodka milk
You said vodka milk
Don't put that evil on me

(01:09:35):
Ricky Bobby
Is that like a sad Russian where you forgot ingredients?
That was like episode 3 or 4
We were talking about the weird shit we drink
I got drunk with a bunch of my buddies one night
Up in Canada
And I said vodka goes with everything
And they're like
Like what? You can have vodka soda
You can have vodka
You can mix it with anything

(01:09:57):
Vodka tea, vodka, you can have vodka milk
And then it starts to curdle
So we all
Sat around and drank vodka milk
Was vodka cottage cheese
By the time they got to the bottom
No we don't do that
It wasn't that bad
They end up throwing up on your show but it's not from anxiety
It's from that story
See Kat

(01:10:19):
I'm just going to give a disclaimer
Kat was really nervous
About being on the show today
She was very just nervous
Because you're intimidating
Because I'm a very mean person
I think it is good for people that don't have social anxiety
To experience the worst case
Scenario
And I'm confident Travis will never ask me to do this again
The amount of comments he's fielding all week

(01:10:41):
Like can I chew gum?
Can you hear me chewing?
Where do I park?
I knew this was going to be a fun show
So nervous about it
Kirby was doing my hair the other day
She's like don't worry it's going to be super cool
I'm like it's not logical
It's just panic
Anxiety is not logical
An adulterated panic

(01:11:03):
So food is your love language
So who do you want to
Talk love to
All the time
What was your curry pizza you were talking about?
I think I'm going to go with the curry pizza
There's like one spot
In Buffalo
It's so good
Is there a big Indian population in Buffalo
To have like

(01:11:25):
They have so much food there
We just stumbled upon this place
It's a bonkers
Here I won't drive 15 minutes into town to get food
I will drive an hour there to get this pizza
It's so good
Also if you said cheese
Does that mean all kinds of cheese?
I would say it's a different food in my mind
Like every day you open the box and it's a different variety
So maybe I'll just say Indian food

(01:11:47):
And every time I open the box
Oh jeez
That's a good little hook there
That don't work
So I would just say food
I would say anything from Panda Express
Whatever
I need noodles, I need chicken
You would die of MSG in four days
Yes
Okay and then song I would say

(01:12:09):
Tiger Army
In the Orchard
Tiger Army
So they're like Psycho Billy
And it was actually
That was the song that John and I danced to at our wedding
And we realized about 10 seconds
Into that song that we should have taken dance lessons
And we should have
Picked a shorter song
It's so long

(01:12:31):
It's so long
Alright so this is what you're going to listen to
It's going to be on repeat
24 hours
It's calming
Wait until he hears vocals too
This is good
Well why don't we go ahead and let it play
Let's let it play
The smell of cool and earth beneath my feet On a summer night in the orchard My car is parked down the side of the road Over the mountain a red moon glows Soon the summer will be over in the orchard

(01:13:19):
I've been to this place so many times

(01:13:47):
Down roads and roads of dreams In my mind I'm walking through the trees In the orchard Still I see it when I close my eyes When sleep's about to come After the red moon I go ahead in my dreams Back to the orchard

(01:14:15):
The seasons of my life Are walks of past Blossoms of spring fall Leaving all the winter's naked grass I remember you and me In the orchard

(01:14:45):
As the days of youth Slip farther from my grasp Still it haunts me Like a song I can't forget In our frost covers but right In the orchard

(01:15:11):
And when the spark of life Is almost gone The seasons slowly start And all through spring no more Calls me into forever In the orchard
The seasons of my life Are walks of past Blossoms of spring fall Leaving all the winter's naked grass Into forever In the orchard

(01:15:57):
In the orchard

(01:16:23):
There's some big black cloud Flowing in from the west I've been driving, oh dear lord, I sure could use some rest There's a motel up ahead where I can whine Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs

(01:16:51):
I grew up on a road from town to town My dad's line of work kept us moving around I got fond memories of what things were back then The warmth of the neon when a bad storm was moving in

(01:17:19):
We listened to the operets' ball cafe When we stopped to get a bite along the way Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine It takes me back to another time

(01:17:47):
I got a real nice room with the radio and TV This here motel living is the only life for me And it looks like it'll be raining for quite some time Mixed with the light and the glow from the neon signs

(01:18:16):
Mixed with the light and the glow from the neon signs

(01:18:45):
We listened to the operets' ball cafe When we stopped to get a bite along the way Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine It takes me back to another time

(01:19:14):
There's a big black mouth floating from the west I've been driving, oh dear lord, I sure could use some rest There's a motel up ahead where I can whine

(01:19:35):
Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs Lord, I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs

(01:20:05):
Hand it for the station with a pack on my back Tired of transportation in the back of a hat I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety-clack Hear the lonesome whistle see the smoke in the stack Tied around with Democratic fellas named Mac So take me right back to the track, Jack

(01:20:29):
Choo-choo, choo-choo, choo-boogie, woo-woo, woo-woo, choo-boogie Choo-choo, choo-choo, choo-boogie, take me right back to the track, Jack

(01:20:59):
Well, I reached my destination but alas and a lack I need some compensation to get back in the black I take a morning paper from the top of the stack And read the situation from the front to the back

(01:21:28):
The only thing that's open takes a man with a knack So put it right back in the stack, Jack

(01:22:02):
Well, I'm gonna settle down by the railroad track And live the life of Riley and I'm beating down, Jack

(01:22:25):
When I hear a whistle I can peep through the crack And hear the train a-rolling while she's bawling the jack I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety-clack So take me right back to the track, Jack

(01:22:58):
Take me right back to the track, Jack

(01:23:20):
pick your theme and let's go? Is that kind of how it worked or no?
I think it kind of came along with the bass just in general like it was either
gonna be Western swing or rockabilly and we kind of just do all of it right and
then there's sort of a natural progression in style anyway that goes
from like punk rocker to like rockabilly ish sort of so I was I was already on my

(01:23:41):
way to that all right and then when the quarantine happened and I only had
access to like I bought so much clothes over like it was bonkers so yeah that's
when the closet exploded he's like okay so this is what you're gonna do and so
we're gonna shift focus here let's give Kat something else to do yeah yeah at

(01:24:01):
first like he was startled the amount of dressing up I would do to go to Lowe's
you know and he'd be like is this necessary and now he's learned to not
ask that question like everything is necessary good man yeah I do got to tell

acoustic kind of thing like like you and John or like a duo or single person not
like a full band John brings a full band when he's doing his like he has people
coming from up the hill he has like a slide we had someone on fiddle no kit

(01:29:36):
but like it was okay cool I'm the drummer when there's no drum you're the
drummer have you ever played the actual drums like you know what Tata's is this

(01:30:01):
is an October to Tata's a secret bar that I have played drums at okay that's
all I'm gonna say wait so you can actually play drums not well if someone
says do this I'm very good at that you know she's a good rhythm for a very long
time and my foot started tapping at the same time so apparently I can play
drums a little bit I've always said I like watching drummers I said they have

(01:30:23):
the hardest job of anyone in the band because not one single part of their
body is doing the same thing at the same pace at the same moment and there's no
way that I could do that we're gonna do your hair up like this and we're gonna
do drums everything if I was gonna be in a band I would be in a ska band I can't
play so for the for the for the 50th episode we're gonna have you do a big

(01:30:45):
old cool hair thing yeah we're gonna do hair and then she's gonna put the drums
afterwards I have to get my and then I'm in the skank cuz that's how you dance to
ska music it's called skanking nice skanking yes I felt the need to clear
really when I was in like seventh and eighth grade Mighty Mighty Boston was
like my jam yes we're big Scott fans too but no that's funny you caught skank

(01:31:07):
skanking that's how you dance I always thought that that was something else
anyway never run our friend was there like tech guy for a long time really
what was there other like super so yeah

(01:31:28):
record company little game I had their CD when I was in my eighth grade we
should go to their show they're coming oh yeah holy crap man so cool hanging out

(01:32:05):
with you yeah I keep trying to refrain myself from saying Catherine I'm proud
of you and then Catherine Beaks will come on here and you'll call her cat a
bunch of time oh I know right we haven't had Catherine Beaks on here but we will
we'll be trying though like people that are particular with their names yeah like

(01:32:26):
my best friend and my sister are both named Nicole my sister's got my Nikki
her entire life my best friend is like why do you hate me why would you call me
Nikki so funny her middle name is Catherine too have you guys heard the
Catherine Beak story no no so like we have like deep roots with Catherine so
John besides the named Apple gang yeah but even before that so she had the the

(01:32:50):
radio show for a while and she played our first song when we were in we had a
band called the riveting tidbits steps that's a whole other story but then John
went on her show for an interview and he played an original song and he proposed
to me on her show via this one yeah and the funny thing is so we had a whole

(01:33:10):
date day right and we went to see Lord of the Rings and he told me after every
time the ring would show he'd go and then we were driving home and like every
all of our friends and family across the country knew this so they're like tuning
in but the station played the wrong episode oh no so John's like ah we're
driving home music I gotta go the store real quick so he calls the story calls

(01:33:33):
Catherine's what do I do so they had to like switch something or they push
something around or whatever and we get home and we walk in and John goes don't
change into your pajamas because that's me right I'm just like pajama pants the
second I walk in so I'm like oh me today I have the day I'm home I want to relax
it is not the Paris slept in but it's still pajamas I will sleep in them

(01:33:55):
tonight probably it's comfy and efficient so anyway I wasn't allowed to
put my pajamas on he turns the TV on and we're watching and I'm like okay like
yeah you've been on the radio before like you're very big and important we
know this and then all of a sudden he's like playing the song and I'm like and
I'll think I just start crying he's on in like one knee in my living room like
so yeah and then my parents my mom had been like stress baking all day so she

(01:34:17):
had like four types of pastry when we showed like made that happen without
Catherine yeah we wouldn't and it all lives up to today's still a butterfly
you know flaps my mom did ask what's Travis getting you for your birthday a

(01:34:46):
marriage and I was like probably not well no mean sweet curves did a whole
proposal thing a non proposal thing to our I got our a bottle ring yeah I heard
about the non proposal is very confused what that meant see you used to yeah
just means so committed but I dig that I said will you not marry me and she's
like yes I will never not marry you no I said I will not marry you forever not

(01:35:07):
marry you forever so I never planned on getting married and that's actually part
of the lyrics on our thankful song was like never planned to say I do but it
would again for you like I had never wanted that or needed that I guess but
it you know it's fun I like it very good and non marriage is probably hard but
fun I would say I was I just live live in love with one you love you know like

(01:35:31):
why get to gotten government involved and all that stuff and signed papers and
weird shit yeah fuck I will live with you forever just go like the Gaelic route

(01:35:52):
didn't they do like hand fasting that's like the same what is hand fasting like
in Gaelic I think it's Gaelic so very Irish I'm sad I don't know this yeah
like hand fasting was literally like they in the ceremony they would like
bind your hands together string yeah they would do the little string or
something and then it was like you make the promises that way I thought you
were saying fasting like your hand went on a diet with your hand I was gonna say

(01:36:18):
so one lady walking around town with one skinny hand wait so you're saying that
means we curves have two more sizes tire hands together like dental floss look up
not dental floss that would hurt like something like something softer and less
let's not like they sent you down binding together not in any way yeah

(01:36:41):
like is it like toilet toilet paper no like no like really easy no it's like a
really elegant something that she can't choke me with yeah well the answer to
that would be don't do anything to me what other genres of music do you enjoy

(01:37:09):
I like lo-fi you ever listen you come up you're rocking my world right now
country music and ska music okay so lo-fi is kind of it has like an
electronic element to it but it's it's calming it's low fidelity so it's meant
to be kind of like less high quality or whatever but it also sometimes has like

(01:37:31):
20s or 40s kind of vibes to it too okay so you were abbreviating lo-fi it's

leopard which basically means they're gorgeous and very loud so they deal
with Ramona heat though like they are adapted or oh he spoiled rotten like you

still had Savi and I was working in the back and I could hear her growling all
the way out there and I had the windows open and I'm like they're beautiful
Savi you like shut up like I go out there I'm like stop and I look and
there's a bobcat in the window growling at my cat who's growling back like a
screen in between a wild bobcat huge like yeah yeah just yeah growling and I'm

(01:44:24):
like okay no Mia make sense I'm gonna close this window now but they looked

night petting our goats and he's like we got these wild animals we got these
goats what if like a mountain lion came down and we were friends with the
mountain lion and I was talking about that the predator instincts are
completely different like yeah but what if you just made friends with like a
wild animal like a coyote or have you seen the videos of the people that own wild

(01:46:05):

could get on board with yes there were I'd be a friend to anybody I think I

gonna get it wrong no an alligator because his name was like Albert and
they found out and they took him away and like everyone in Buffalo was like
bring back Albert like did you ever see the comedian his name is Nate Barghese
and he talks about in Louisiana there was like this house and he's like it

(01:46:48):
wasn't regulated but it was like this attraction and it was just like maybe
it was full Florida anyways but like this old man that like had no business
owning the animals that he owned and like he's like we walk in this house and
there's like just open cages and he's like I'm like thinking where is whatever
was in that cage like no regulations one of the animals got out well they were

(01:47:14):

(02:05:14):
This was so much fun, man.
So fun.
Hanging out with you on this, on our crazy ass show that we do every Sunday.
The Travis Billy Ross Ella country show.
Before we go, how do we, where you guys playing, how do we find out where you're playing?
When's your next song coming out?
Give us all the deets.
So, I have no idea.
I just get in the car when Sean says get in the car.

(02:05:35):
We have recorded, I think we've recorded everything for My Dear Aselewee, so that's coming out next.
He's just mixing it.
And then we have like four other partially completed songs at some point.
Is that going to be a whole album or just another single?
That depends on the day when I ask that question.
Sometimes it's like, no, we're going to do this many singles and we're saving these songs.
But I'm like, time wise, realistically, let's just get an album out.

(02:05:57):
So I don't know the answer to that.
I don't know where we're playing.
So really not helpful.
But well, there you go.
If you go to our link tree when we do have shows, they show up on there.
Perfect.
What is your link tree?
Beard of the Bird?
Yes.
All right.
I hope so.
Catherine, you're not in trouble, Kat.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for hanging out with me on the show and Sweet Curbs and Air Go Forth and Cassie back there.
