Shame profit into building back like you never left. I
swear we were just here.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Love this guy.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
You can sing the roof all first and foremost make
me cry when you sing thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
But you are funny. You are so funny, I said,
is there really true that you were kicked out?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Like you were the only person in America that can
get kicked and banned out of Walmart?
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Well I'm not the only person, because the two guys
I was with, God damn as well.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I was going to say that story proves that fact wrong. Yeah, yeah,
that's uh not factual.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
But because I was the one that was underage, they
got their pictures but couldn't get mine.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yes, strategic, you were playing chess, they were playing checkers.
That's right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Well when you sang last night, and you were singing
and you were very vulnerable, and you were talking about
your dad.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
But before this.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Song, and this song was so powerful, something that struck
out to me is you said you're newly engaged, already
got the wedding planned. And you said you held your
wife's hand in every night, you take turns praying who praise?
And I think that is so special, and so I
know your marriage is gonna last forever because a couple
that praise together stays together.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
You know, I appreciate you saying that. So something else is,
you know, we'll have a little rebuttal every now and then.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Like a little little fight or however you normal.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, but something my granddad told me years and years
ago was don't ever go to bed mad at each other.
So whatever kind of fight we have, we work it
out before we go to sleep.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
What's the latest you've had to stay up and figure
that out? Like have you ever seen four am?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Like?
Speaker 6 (01:34):
All right?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
We no, no, no, no, no, because at that point
I'm just like, yeah, you're right, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
We go all right, yeah, yeah, yeah. We have a
king sized bed.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
We'll never sleep in separate beds either, but we might
be in different area codes of that bed.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah. Well you brought it up, the heavy subject matter
that you dealt with, and awesome for being vulnerable and authentic,
and country music prides itself on it in course of
the truth and all that has that made other subjects
easy to write about. Since you tackled something so heavy already,
I'll be honest, I don't really know what would be.
Speaker 7 (02:07):
Tougher, right, yeah, I mean then then that's the answer
somebody dying maybe, Yeah, that would be tough. Hopefully you
don't have to write that song for a very long time.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
How's your heart now?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I'll be honest, this all happened when when this all
went down was January, So this is gonna be the
first holiday season man.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Like a real Well, we're we're praying for you. We're
praying for you. Thank you. I mean, you did make
us feel like family, so we do.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And I'm going to get you your early Christmas present.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Chaps.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I'm gonna wrap them up. You can give them to
your wife. I got extra love the ash.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Chaps, Yes, Shane Prova and everybody the best Red Fair
in the building.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
I've been a fan for a very long time, man,
for real awesome to watch before I met you or
got introduced to you by another artist as a songwriter.
I know the new project, you're a writer on all
of them. Yes, I am easy impressed with.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
What you've been able to do so early, dude, So congratulations,
thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Shit, it's good energy.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
That's it's probably too much backwards, man.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I thought you were gonna walk over here with Jack
and Dyke.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I got some Jack in my bag and seven I
got no cups, but I got.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I know, I.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Don't want that bet. And you ask me if he
had some mon.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yes, I'll be like in a cup right here.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Well, we've been to a few of these like after
party things, and like maybe Crown or somebody sponsors it,
and they don't have any Jack. I'm like, well, I
don't drink Crown roll. I drink Jack Daniels number. At
least keep a little pocket bottle or something.
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Yeah, well, listen, I'm gonna fangirl out just for a moment.
Let's I've been able to see you several times in
several different venues, and I love that the expansion of
country music is including different genres.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Your music covers.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
A broad spectrum. I feel like you can walk into
any room. Is that something that just comes naturally to
you because it's growing now and I feel like you're
hitting that wave where your music is connecting with where
it's trending.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
That's awesome to say, man. I would say it's a
little bit of both. For me, I grew up listening
to everything my dad was listening to Ausy and Metallica
and Travis Tripp, my mom's listening to Don Williams and
John Anderson, and my sisters listening to anything that will
drive them crazy.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
OK.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
So I just grew up hearing it all, you know,
and kind of naturally started blending it all when I
started writing, and there was something early on. I put
about five songs out and Tyler was like, all these
songs are different. They're all different, and I thought he
was saying it in a bad way. And then him
and Brian was like, this is gonna free you up
down the road to do whatever you want.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
So if anyone is not familiar saying about Tyler Hubbard
and Brian Kelly, Yes, sir to George Line, I believe
that was your first publishing deal, right, yes.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Sir, Tree Vibes Music. Yeah, I learned a lot there
and I'm just thankful. Yeah. My buddy was washing his
four wheeler at the car wash and Tyler gave him
his address and set invite some friends to ride, and
I was one of the friends that got called.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
That's amazing started writing it.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
I think at first, man the variety kind of scared
people away because they didn't know what to expect Yeah,
and then when I got to do a couple of
projects and they could hear it all cohesively, it made
a little more sense. Yeah, the new pack, it accidentally
got a little more traditional. That ain't a song one
without steel guitar. I just let it, let the songs
take me where they wanted to go. I wasn't trying
to do that.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
But the last question, I'm so sorry for being selfish.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
In this stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
We are, but I know he's told me so much
about you.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Oh did you ever think about shopping Jack and diet?
Because it's such an it's such an amazing songn I
always hear these stories about people that write songs that
they know, look, this is gonna connect. Well, it's hard.
Do you give it away? Do you keep it?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Like?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Is there any backstory to that?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
I'm curious. Yeah, that's that's a crazy story on Jack
and Dyke coach. So my publishing deal ended with Tyler
and them, you know they whenever they broke up, that
company kind of dissolved. And uh that I never could
post songs on TikTok unless I knew I was going
to sing it because if it didn't form well, Al
Dean or somebody else wouldn't cut it right, so I
really never even had a chance to go viral. And
(06:06):
my deal ended March first, and I think I posted
it like second week of March, and that was the
first song that I owned the publishing too, and I
didn't have to worry about pitching it. Yeah, I was like, well,
I can burn this one. I love this song and
if it takes off that school, apologies for reposting it
a million times, thank you. But it was just one
of them things where I was like, you know what,
I can let this one go and I don't have
(06:27):
any repercussions. And I got really lucky that happened to
be the one that went, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Well if you haven't checked it out, Jack and Diet.
But the rest of the catalog is good too. In
the you know what I'm saying, that was.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Way ahead of it's time. It fits in good now though.
Yeah it's great. Also, thank you man, Come on, oh,
I like.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
You did the shoes with this shirt that looks so good,
Brandy Gilbert matching.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Look at this something, look at that feeling good? Looking good.
I broke my wife handed me the way out.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I knew it because they're no, man doing this?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Are you more of a story? Smart man? You're a
smart man. My wife will tell you though.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
I did try to be coordinating, you know, the shoes
and hey, well you look good?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Do you feel good?
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Oh god, no, bro.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I heard you say you just did a ball gamer.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
I decided it's a good idea, trying to take back
in practice. We'll be dude, I can't walk. I pulled everything.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Old stretching beforehand.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Oh god, I won't. I need a walker.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Welling in that direction.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
God, I'm mighty, but I'm there.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And the worst part is when someone asked you like,
oh man, you are you hurt? Have you pulled something?
And you haven't? You just walked that way, like.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Did you end or something? Yeah, my pride in a
big way.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Well, strategically, let's get into the music. We don't want
to take away from other people. The tattoos and when
you when you lay out storyboards and how it plays
into your life. Can you send some light on that
because I don't have tattoos, So it's thing to see
what people's like, psychology behind you, what it means to
them for sure?
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Man, I mean I think younger in life.
Speaker 8 (08:03):
You know, we all get tattoos for different reasons, and
I feel like we get them for different.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Reasons at different times in life.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
Yeah. O, there's a season in life where you know,
I got a couple of them, like, hey, look at
this kind of thing. Uh, later in life, you know,
tattoos from my kids, Like I got clocks on my
chest to remind me I only have so much time
with my kids and to make the best. You know,
they have guardian angels around. My wife hates this when
my guardian angels have like ak's and rs. So it's
(08:29):
it's you know, I'd like to tell people if you
if you listen to all my albums and look at
my tattoos, like you know where I stand, You know
who I am.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Uh, just trying to be What you see is what
you get, guy, and what you see is a lot.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
You've always been that way to me.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
You came into the radio station seven years ago.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
I just gone to country music and I was with
a guy named Paul shadd And I think you had
a song with.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Snoop Dogg about smoking weed or something. I don't know much.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
You love this guy, He's so honest, and then you
just did the tattoos to our I've been telling Graham,

I brought it one year out to write Retreat Texas
and Martin Truez's race car driver literally used my gun
and put his race car number on Hardy's legs.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
She says she wanted you to do her entire back
of a griffin, like one of those mythical creatures on her.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Back, the inside of my lip done. That's what I
want done.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
What are you gonna do it?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I'm just gonna write a word I wanted to. I
wanted a lightning bolt.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
And Jackson Dene was going to do that for me,
and then he couldn't bring his tattoo gun on the airplane.
And so I don't want to like deep tattoo. I
want like a light Well, I hear you're coming out
