things have changed.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
You know, as much as I get spoken to, I
guess now and and uh, you know when we play
shows now, I can't quite just go out and get
food anymore with the boys, you know, in my band,
or they're they're just wanting to go take a walk
through the park or something. Or if we play we're
near a casino and everybody wants to go head a
casino or something, and I'm like, well, guys, I can't come.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It's such a blessing. But you know, it's just so
it's that's what's so different.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
About it is that there's there's certain little things that
I never really thought about, like not being able to.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Go down the street and grab some food every once
in a while. But I think it's really beautiful though too.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
That is a big adjustment though, not being able to
go out in public by yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Now, yeah, I mean it's not it's not. It's not everywhere.
It's just kind of where.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
If weren't aware where I'm playing a show, then yeah,
but I'm not that famous yet, but you know getting there.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Well, I know Tenny Swim is not your real name,
and I wanted to pitch another name to you because
my wife big fan. It was probably six months ago
and we're driving around the car. She does the driving
and I get to choose the music. But I was like,
what do you want to listen to? She's like, that
guy's got amazing voice, tattoo's beard, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Fish.
I think his name is So what do you think
of Jimmy Fish.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I loved Jimmy.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Now, I was like, Jimmy Fish, I think you've been
Tenny Swims, but I loved.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Jim Maybe that's what you can chick into hotels now
Jimmy Fish.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, Jimmy Fish is someone out. No, I can't those
that you just gave it away.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Sorry, I was I like Jimmy first, but Tenny Swims
is also really good as well. Now, I love your tattoos,
and I was watching a video last night explaining some
of your tattoos, and you're like, My first tattoo I
got was a real douchebag tattoo.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Yeah, I got so I was sixteen, and it was
a freight here in my arm it said, h it
was a cross with my last name in one banner
of last name Dimsdelle and then another better instead established
nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
It was, so.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I gotta get that coming up.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I mean by the time I was eighteen, I was
like a completely different person, you know, And so I
I always I always tell people don't let sixteen year
old get tattoos. You know, they're just they're just different
people by the time they're eighteen, you know, kids just
too early to.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Make a long life decision like that. I see that.
I've got to take tattoo advice from.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I see you, there's something on your eye lids.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, it's sure are Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Hell is that it's kind of like it doesn't hurt
as bad as you would think when it's just as
a wild sensation. You know, the needle's so small, so
you kind of feel your eyeball bouncing.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Like with the needle. Oh my gosh, it kind of
like irritates it. You cry a little bit underneath it. It
doesn't hurt. It's just weird.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
What's it like though? When you you know, because your
music gets used in special occasions, people use it for
winning songs and and you know, moments like that, have
you got you hit around?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
How cool that is? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
That is the most I think honorable thing that I
could ever be to be a part of somebody's big day,
you know. And and the amount of times a day
I'll go through messages and be like, hey, could you
sing at our wedding in twenty twenty nine?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
You know?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And I love.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I love to be the person that gets to be
a part of somebody's huge days and something that you know,
because no matter what happens, and no matter all the
songs that ever come out in the world, if you
have a true love song that was your first dance
at your wedding. I will always be a part of
that beautiful moment. Thirty years from now, Teddy swims song
will still be the song that is always timeless and
forever for their family and there. So that is like
(04:28):
such an honorable thing to I think there's no better
privilege and honor than to set somebody's like big day
like that.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I think it's the most beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Well, yeah, you can just tell your appreciative of every
moment of your of your career too. But someone locking
in the wedding in twenty twenty nine, that's not like
you can say, oh, I've got something else on.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
There's no smart play on them too far away.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
And she got a number of someone. Do you mind
if we call them right now in surprise them? Someone
takes in a while ago saying my wedding song was
the Teddy Swim's version of a Shanaia Twain song that
you do the one? Do you mind if we surprise
them with a quick call?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I would love that, of course.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah. Her name, her name is Brittany.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
She has no idea we're calling, and like Ben said,
she actually text into the studio just on an unrelated
matter a few months ago, so this will this will
catch you by surprise.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
