11.12: Live from Carriage Ford - Hour 1

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, the city of Louisville needed that. Last night, louis.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
No talking about the game because I recorded it and
I haven't watched it yet, so nobody talked about the
game until tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Are you still recording on a v V I am?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
I am recording on a Beta Max. Actually, oh, it's
way better.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
I think that's going to overtake vhs.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
So the cards pulled one out, is what I understand.
When my wife he got home last night.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah, she was. She was again. We used to call
her the crazy cat Lady before that was a term politically,
but you know it because she was so crazy as
a UK fans. She sat in the Louisville President's suite
last night, I believe so, and her neutral gear. Yeah, okay,
so she's quite different nowadays. Yeah, there's no question she

(00:46):
is God lover. But last night Louisville absolutely man handled Kentucky.
It's been two decades since I've seen that. It was
amazing to see Louisville looked good on every ass back
to the game. They had seventeen assists on twenty three
baskets in the first half. It was crazy. Kentucky just
looked out of swords, so what's.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
The It's a superstitious but somewhat accurate superstition. Whoever wins
the basketball game traditionally loses.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
That was football game.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Did that go out the window?

Speaker 1 (01:21):
That went out the window when Louisville started to lose everything?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Okay, all right, so I obviously didn't watch last night.
Did they just come out of the gates strongest they
stayed on top of them.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
They did. They took care of business from the jump.
They were hitting threes, were they were passing the ball
like the Harlem glowtroters. It was crazy. We're on TV
right now because we're at Carriage Forward, Lewis and Clark Parkway.
The big tent sale is this weekend. Come on out.
The best deals on trucks and cars are happening this weekend.
Zero percent interest for five years on the F one fifty.

(01:55):
That's what I drove up. I told him because I
got the black package STX F one fifty, and I said,
don't sell my truck. It's parked out there. I know
somebody's gonna say, is that for sale?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Well, you know, for the right everything has a price.
Everything has a price. Also doing some good for the
neighborhood out here at Earl Books, Carriage Forward giving some
can goods. So if you got some CA goods you
want to donated, feed some hungry families, we're collecting those
as well. And Jeff's Donuts out here then Barono's Pizza

(02:30):
for lunch. Baby, I'm not leaving.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I don't know if Louisville fans have really, you know,
absorbed what happened last night, but as a city, we
probably needed this after the events from a week ago,
and the Young Center was just rocking, Downtown Louisville was
just rocking, and Louisville took care of business against a
very very good Kentucky team that will end up winning

(02:53):
a lot of games in the SEC and probably do
both these teams are going to do well in the
NCAA termament.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
And to hear the University Kentucky side of the last
night's game, at nine thirty five, we have J. D. Shellbird,
one of the biggest Cat fans I know, is going
to join the show because you just told me, like
we got J. D. Chilburn at thirty five and I went, oh,
thank you, Hey, how many depressions, how many depressions? Slow
sad slob and tear jerk and country songs.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Do you think he produced last night?

Speaker 2 (03:21):
After the game?

Speaker 1 (03:23):
I wrote five of him this great country music.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Saw songs about letting me down and There's always next year.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
What a win last night for the Cars. I just
kind of believe it. But again, they started to give
it away the last four minutes. It got down to
just a couple of points, and I'm texting it really
getting well, Yes, yeah they did. They fought back for
a couple of minutes. For most of the game. What
was the biggest lead eighteen points? Are you kidding me?
They held that for a while. Uh yeah, Wannie Norman says, yeah,

(03:52):
it was it. Twenty Yeah, twenty points, biggest lead last night.
So they were they were really handling Kentucky. And of
course I was like, I screamed, you know, if they
start hitting crazy threes and we start missing some free throws,
I'm gonna lose my mind. And sure enough, that's what happened.
Louisville miss seven free throws in a row and they
were hitting stupid thirty foot three pointers and I was like,

(04:14):
of course this is happening, texting the coffee and I
was like, this cannot be happening, but they got They
took care of business. So we'll talk about that game
a lot more later on the show. Maybe take some
calls to see if people want to talk about it,
because we're not used to this as Louisville fans taking
care of business against Kentucky like that home.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I'm trying to get Lance Bergarvey on today, but he's
big time in US.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Oh, you're talking to the guy that called the game
for Uku mail I can't be coming all all right, so.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Hi Susanian, let me try this one out on you
free Yli Ali Ali Ali.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
It's something new I'm trying. This is saying, I gotta
go to the game. Where are my uv al panties?
Have to wear my lucky panties for every single game.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I rubbed this nipple clockwise and this nipple counterclockwise. That's
what helped the Cardinals win last night.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Thank you, answer guardy uh Okay, the shutdown should be
over by today. That was gonna be over Donald Donald
Trump can signed if the House gets all the votes
through uh so, that should be done by tonight. It
will take a couple of days to adjust for the
for the airlines. Here's the problem. They got to get

(05:30):
the lawmakers to Washington, d C. And and it's all
screwed up, shutdown.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Well no, I'm sure the lawmakers like to fly privately.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Well, well that would be it'll be the excuse.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Oh we had to take a private jet.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
All right. So thank god that that is happening, that
we don't have to hear about it anymore. And it's
just it speaks to how, I mean, how inept our
government is. They can't even open the government, you can't
even have it function in any way.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
I just wish there were penalties financially or someone else,
like maybe you can't run in a situation like this again, Yeah,
I wish there were some kind of penalties on these lawmakers.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Well, they try to vote, we don't get paid. I
think it was Kennedy that said he was he wont
he tried, he tried to pass, He tried to He said, look,
if they don't get paid, we shouldn't get paid either.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
No, he's right. And some of the people are saying,
you know, oh, please hold my paycheck, like posting on Facebook.
I've sent a letter saying please hold my paycheck untill
you How about Kanzi your paycheck? You're not doing your job. Look,
these federal workers, they've got no say in it. They're
the other'll be back paid, but they're losing their their
weekly pay. How about because it's your fault, you forfeit

(06:54):
your pay.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
So the House Republicans again will pass that bill in
the lower chamber, and the Ssident Trump is expected to
sign the legislation later tonight or this later this afternoon,
whenever they can get it together.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
I do want to say that kind of shifting gears.
There will be a memorial service for John Aubrey.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Oh great, when it's going to be this.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Thursday tomorrow, twelve noon, a memorial mass for John Aubrey
at the Cathedral of the Assumption, right, and I think
twelve noon. I would imagine Greg Getcher will probably be
the would I would think. I don't know that to
be the fact, but I would imagine it's going to be.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I can't imagine anyone else more perfect for that job
than to do the homily on that.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
So I guess that means Greg Getcher's probably want me
to ride a couple of homilies for him and send
him over there. Sometimes what he does sometimes what he
does goes uh Hey, Dwight, I'm preaching. What's his church?

Speaker 1 (07:56):
It's the Catholic Church, the Cathedral of the Assumption. Oh,
his regular church though, St. Patrick's.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Hey, I'm preaching to Saint Patrick's this Sunday. Here's my sermon.
Can you punch it up with a few jokes? Sometimes
I'll get that email, you know.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
No, okay uovo game the government? Or is Taylor Swift's
putting together her bridesmaids the lead story? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
You tell me, well, with you, it's gonna be the
Taylor Swift deal.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, well, she's putting together her bridesmaids and it's gonna
be Selena Gomez and Gied.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
I have no idea if Selena Gomez.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Is in Mold Murders.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
I think she's a billionaire too.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
By the way, Oh yeah, she's done well, she's done her.
That's crazy makeup.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Or we're not billionaires yet, we're just as pretty as yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
See what we are is the working class broadcast is
too all right.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
We're working class pops.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Right, work boots. We wear work boots to work.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
We were singing our songs about work boots too.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
So no word on whether her buddy, uh who's the
buddy that's in trouble that's married to I can't believe
I'm brain farted on that, remember, is married to what's
her name, Blake? Blake? Thank you John, and John Alden
is back. By the way, We're so glad that Daisy,
your daughter uh is feeling better. It's a little scary

(09:22):
when they're that young they get the flu. So good
being a dad.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
I've got an interesting story about uh, newborns and children
and children under one years old not getting sick because
they are getting sick because they were denied Halloween costumes.
It's an interesting study. It's an interesting study. It comes
out of the University of Belgium. Yes, and it's one
of the infants and toddlers that didn't receive a Halloween costume.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, it's sick. And by the way, it's the parents
on that note of on that note of head and
everything like that. Did you see the melowtonin story, Oh
so stupid. So there every news organization said using melatonin
every night can lead to heart attacks or strokes, right,
But the reality is the story was people with chronic

(10:14):
insomnia that use melatonin are like are more likely to
have It's not like you and I, well you have crime. Yeah,
yeah right, well.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
But I mean people ask me out, have you tried melatona?
I said, have you tried ice water? Hey man, I
can't sleep at night. Have you tried a nice warm
glass of skim milk? Have you tried that? No? Let
me get on that.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
But it's misleading. The headline is misleading. It sounds like
if you use melatonin it will lead to a stroke
or a heart attack. Stop stop, it was it was.
It was a case study that involved people with chronic
chronic insomnia.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
I do take a daily dose of aspirin ay one.
Milo Graham, you probably are Tuesday you had a heart incident.
Listen to pitch you off of people like dumbed it down.

He had a little hiccup, he had he had a
hard hiccup.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
He had a hard hiccup.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
You made a one hundred percent blockings of the window maker?
Is that what we're talking about? But I take a
eighty one milligram ash Ford. But I take it every
night when I go to bed. And the rationale and
my stupid brain is if i'm if I'm during the day.
I know I'm going to have a heart attack, I'll
feel the symptoms.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
But if I'm sleeping, no, yeah, till my grandfather went.
Grandma just heard a it was his last breath. Oh wow,
what a way to go. Yeah. But you know what, Amen,
you know how to choose go in your sleep? Uh
for sure? All right? So Uh Blake Lively has not
been announced as the bridesmaid, and I think that would

(11:53):
be pretty hurtful for her. Yes, any thoughts on Blake
Lively and her.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
I love his new record. Uh, he's the country guy
right on. I love him on that country singing contest show.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
That's Blake Shelton.

hand is going to be I'm gonna think of a
country singer when I hear Please.

Welcome Dick Carr's rocking New Year's Eve. Blake lovely.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Because Blake's perfect. And then he's like, he's not a

Does he wear the hat backwards or frontwards? He wears
it to the side where the bills on the side. Yeah,
he don't care. He don't give up. Oops.

He's good to hear your voice. Man, it's only even
Eddie already talking little smack.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
JD.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
When I did not know you were coming on today,
and when he told me we got JD in thirty five,
I went, oh, oh perfect. It's been a good time.
It's been a long time, brother, since Louisville fans can
can punch out their chest.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah, let's let's talk about the game first. But we
got a lot of stuff to talk to you about,
including this new song and I'm assuming a brand new album.
There's a listening party going on.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Trust you, look, you know a lot about sports. You're
a huge you gay fan, I trust you to break
it out for the game. Do that for us. What
happened last night, Well.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
I'll be honest, Uh, Louisville drilled us. I mean I
had a gig last night in Nashville. My manager bought
me a gig, like six months ago. Of all times,
the book a show. You're gonna book me a gig
on the Louisville Kentucky basketball game, like the day, the
day and the day you cancel funerals to go to
the game. You know, it's it's how crazy about basketball?
But uh so I was getting updates from my dad

(17:32):
on my phone on the stage as a private gig.
I did the last night, So I saw the last
about three minutes, uh live when I finally got home.
But man, Louisville, Louisville just took us to town. I mean,
well deserved win. And uh, this is a little wake
up call for Big Blue. I mean, we're you know,
I don't really know what to expect. I'm I'm I'm
kind of a little disappointed, to be honest, are you know,

(17:53):
always seemed like he's just not himself, and of course
we're not one hundred percent healthy. I don't think and uh,
but Louisville. Uh, Louisvill shop the ball well and well
deserved well.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
I think mathematically Kentucky still in it to make the tournament.
So so but JD.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Shoburn hang on one second. But jad two weeks ago,
Louisville looks awful against Kansas and Kentucky beats the number
one team by double digits, and the conversation is Kelsey's
maybe was a mistake and Pope what a great hire.
Flip it two weeks later and the same people are saying,
but flip the conversation. It's it's a long season. And

(18:32):
UK fans and U OFFL fans love to overreact.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
That that is true. I mean, obviously it seems like
we lose a game, we want to fire a coach.
I mean we've been there through Caliperry years. I mean
Cali Perry brought a lot of great glory and of
course we did, we had some of some losses along
the way, and most fans are die hard. You know,
you want to fire the coach the second they lose.
And obviously Mark Pope was a right choice. And you know,
you win some, you lose some, but uh, you know,
obviously the rivalry needed that last night. That is, I

(18:59):
hate to lose the Louisville I'm a Dalhart Kentucky fan.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
You know that.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
I know you're dial hard Louisville. You know we we'd
want to ten out of the last twelve. I mean,
the last time I went to the Young Center. It's funny,
the last time I went to the Young Center to
watch the uk U L game, you guys beat us there,
and uh, you know it was Louisville needed that. I mean,
they deserve to talk all the smack.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
You know.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
I got a few text matches last night from people
that haven't talked to in months. And then they come
out of the woodwork, they come out of the listen.
They only text me when they went free hitting to
a show where when Little Beach Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
JD shobs I'm over it. J D Shobers. I guess
brand new single, back Road, kind of love, brand new
album coming out. We're gonna talk about that in a
second too. But uh, let's stay on this Kentucky game
just for a minute.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
JD.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
You're probably one of the biggest Kentucky Wildcat fans that
I know.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
It's not the biggest and so.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Last night, your manager books you for a show for
the U l U K game, you can't watch. I
imagine before the show you wanted to fire them, but
now you're probably grateful you got thesitor right, Yeah, you
didn't want to watch that.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Well, I still want to fire my manager. So we
lost the game, I thought, it's this fault. It's my
manager's fault. Hey listen, I will say, yeah, I will say.
I looked at my phone about halfway through the set.
We did a private show last night downtown, so I
didn't get to watch the game on TV. So I'm
watching on my phone and I saw it. I think
was up twenty one at one point.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, they're the biggest lead in twenty and let me
tell you it's and it looked worse than the points
because Louisville was was seventeen assists on twenty three baskets
and they were passing the ball like the Globetrotters in Kentucky.
And I got to tell you, Louisville just was the aggressor.
And usually I usually it's the opposite. Kentucky pushes us
around and makes us look like the JV. And last

(20:56):
night we know how good Kentucky. Is that's a great team.
I mean they're loaded, uh and they and they were
just out of sorts. And I just think, you know,
I think these are good for for the both teams.
You got to go to the to a hostile environment
and play basketball. It makes you a better team.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
How many sad yeah, how many sad lav andeer jerkers
did you write after that game? Like real sad songs?

Speaker 1 (21:23):
After that?

Speaker 3 (21:25):
I wrote a couple of said, yeah, I will have
to admit I wrote a couple of said after that
after that bug kicking. But I'm beginning to wonder if
Tony Bevinetti went down to Young earlier and tightened the
rims on the Kentucky side. I'm beginning to wonder.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Hey, j D. Shelver, let's talk. Let's talk about a
couple of things. Man, I've got Uh, I've got a
lot of musician friends, and a lot of them have
been hitting milestones, including you, our buddy Dave Moody and
his band. They just played Austin City Limits, which was huged.
That's an iconic room.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
But then recently, man, grand Old Opry, is it surreal
when you step out? And I got to the butterflies
for that show has to be terodactyls. Just thinking about
stepping out on that grand old Opry stage makes me nervous.
What was that like?

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Man?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
It was it just surreal?

Speaker 3 (22:11):
It was, man, I've been trying to get that, to
get that, you know, the pinnacle of country music since
I moved to Nashville in two thousand and eight. I've
been doing this long time, y'all. You know, you know that,
you know, and it takes assistance to win, and it
takes a lot of luck, man, to get to the
opper stage, and I gotta. They invited me back in
July and an email I got that totally just rocked
my world. Had no idea it was coming, didn't have

(22:32):
any warning at all, but just just to you know,
to be able to debut the night of Crystal Gale
and Steve Warner and John Conley, some of the all
time great Oh you know, Steve Warner introduced me that
night in front of all my family. It was just
it was an amazing moment. I still think about it
every day.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
You know.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
They gave me a two cremmemorative posters I had framed
in my house, so I see those every time I
wake up in my in my studio wall and it's
like it's they were just so no. I can't tell
you how nice they treated my family from the time
we got there to the time we left. Anything we
needed or wanted, they were just being over backwards for
us and something I'll never forget, you know. I actually
heard from the opera yesterday. We talked yesterday, so I

(23:10):
think I'm hopefully get to go back in twenty six.
So I'm really excited about just trying to, you know,
keep returning back there. It's a pinnacle country music. It
doesn't get any bigger than the Grand Opera in the
country music world.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Okay, all right, So here's the interesting thing. So there's
plenty of folks out there trying to make it do
their thing. How does the process of getting invited to
play work? Does your manager just nag them until or
do they call you? How does that work?

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Well, I've had I've asked a few people. So in
the course of my career, I've gotten to record with
the Oakreds Boys, and I've just done a lot of
gigs around Nashville that's had a little bit of notoriety,
and I met like I'd opened up for like Steve
Warner and opened up for I've become friends with Travis
Tritt some other opry members, and I would kind of
as I got to know those folks, I would be like, Hey,
are you playing the opera anytime soon?

Speaker 1 (23:59):
We talk?

Speaker 3 (23:59):
And then they'd be like, have you ever played it?
I'm like, no, never have. I'm trying my damnites to
play it. And so, uh, I think just the course
of his asking people, uh, you know, put a good
word in for me at this ultimate goal. And then
the Oakre's boys and I talked about it several times
before Joe Bondeill passed away, and you know, I thought, well,
maybe it's never gonna happen. You know, I'm not gonna
get discouraged about it. If it happens, it happens. If

(24:20):
it doesn't, well, I sure tried. But uh, I just
kind of random email from their management on a Friday
afternoon and said the first line of their email said,
this may take you by surprise. We want to offer
you a debut. They gave me three days to pick
from and so it was just it was mind blowing.
So I guess if you just think, if you stay persistent.
You work hard enough, you finally eventually get calls.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Didn't you jugulation?

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Did Joe Botta from the Oakre's Boys guessed on one
of your songs? Or did you guessed on one of
the Oakre's Boys songs? I can't remember how that went.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Well.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
I met Joe at an event in Nashville. We were
on the same PR firm for a while, and then
I just Joe and I kind of became friends, which
changed numbers, and then he asked him one day, I said,
you think, is there any way the re Ocres Boys
with record as song with me? And he said, let
me ask him, and so they agreed to it and
they came met him in studio in Hendersonville. We cut
the song, and then Joe kind of got into some
bad health and he ended up passing away. And you know,

(25:09):
really thankful that I was able to cut that before
he started having some health issues. Just perfect timing and
they were wonderful.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Let's let's talk about this new record, the new record
that comes out this Friday. By the way, raised on
the Good Stuff Baby.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
That sounds like a Kentucky thing.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
How long did you have you been working on this
record for a while.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Right, Yeah, the whole year has been all the end
of last year into this year. Cut eleven songs, wrote
four of them. You know, it comes out on all
platforms Friday. I'm really excited about it. Just getting a
lot of buzz about it down here in Nashville. I'm
actually gonna be on a billboard on Music Road today
at one thirty. I'm excited about going and seeing that.
So I'm pretty pumped about that. So through the course

(25:52):
of just playing all these shows and being in Nashville
all these years, I've met a lot of great songwriters
and it all comes from a great song And so
my neighbor, my former neighbor, Marknesler, has written about ten
number one hits and probably five hundred cuts, and I
became friends with him, and so I've been able to
use him as really a mentor and a tool to
meet other writers, because you know, you want hit songs,
you want to try to write these hit writers that's
had success and uh, and so this album's I feel

(26:14):
like it's full of great songs. I've been very lucky.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Do you ever work with Neil Medley down there in Nashville.
He's a great songwriter up here from Kentucky. I was
just curious.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Have I know Neil?

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:26):
We were. Actually I think he's a UK graduate because
him and I were in a UK article in the
Alumni magazine a couple of months ago, and so we
kind of connected. And I know he's had great success.
And so I think one of my buddies that works
for me on the road. It works with his brother
at the Louis Water Company. So kind of a small world.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Busy busy year. Broyeah, you're do you know your bourbon?
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Burb?

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Yeah, he does, I do.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
I should have. I should have had a bottle sent
to you and you could have used it for your
y'all could use it for the game last.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Night, Haiti, we didn't need it.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
He had a bourbon, but last night he went through
it after the game, all his stock.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
How did that happen?

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Hey, listen, I gotta be nice, man. I need I
need Lobal fans to buy my bourbon too, not just
a Kentucky Come on, Lobal fans. I love you, I
love you too. I love you guys too.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
How did you get into the bourbon business?

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Well, you know, over the course of playing all just
being in the music business for so long. I've met
a lot of bourbon companies, done shows for makers, Mark Evan, Williams,
angels En, b just so many Jim Beams, so many
different ones.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Well.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Inclusion Brand reached out to me back in February about
being their ambassador, and at the time, I'm like, you know,
I didn't even know what an Abashad would even do
in the bourbon company. I'm thinking, well, I don't want
to lose all these other bourbon shows. And so we
ended up working to deal with Inclusion Brand and sit
down with them, and after we had done and to
deal with them, they mentioned about bringing out my own
bourbon in Kentucky and just seeing how it does. And

(27:53):
we did and it's pretty neat to you know. We're
in fifty stores in Kentucky right now, in every single
liquor barn in the state of Kentucky, and it's just
been overwhelming. It's been overwhelming to see our fans you
support this. And I've signed so many bottles at shows
and we've done a few bottle signs to liquor stores.
So definitely want to encourage your listening area to go
out the liquor barn or any mom and pop. You

(28:13):
can go to the link on my website and check
out our Sinser series Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. And I
sure appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Man, busy year for you, but you play the Grand
ol Opry. Uh, you write and record a new album,
which is not easy on its own, but you're doing
this while you headline forty shows this year, forty shows
you headline.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
I think it's a testament that nice guys can win. Yeah, right,
And in this industry we all know, uh, it's usually
the sharkiest of the sharks get to where they're going.
But you've always stayed true to who you were and
and I think you're a genuinely nice person and man
and your great dad and husband, And I think I'm

(28:52):
so happy for your success. Brother.
