Speaker 3 (02:41):
Lord, a little bit of everything, just running and enjoying
every bit of it.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Nice.

Speaker 8 (02:45):
I am so excited to talk to you about your
music because I was listening and you know you were
talking about dirt. Yeah, just going fishing with your dad
and I think you got biscuits out at a fascination.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:57):
Literally used to go fishing with my dad and we
would stop at this gas station and it was sun
drop and crackers for us and I'm like, oh my god,
I guess every dad does that. Like you get to
the gas station and there's that. And so every time
I drink Sundrop, it automatically takes me back to that place.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
You just gave me chills because that's my paws drink.
Like every time I go back home, he has a
case of sun drop. Yeah, and he's like he's not
going to go out to the pond and go fishing.
And it just it's just those little moments growing up
that like you hang on to forever.

Speaker 8 (03:27):
You don't think of about it during that moment, you know,
like you're just a child, But when you're littler, you're like, man,
I miss those days.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
And on a bad day, you know what I do.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
I go into a gas station, I get me a
sun Drop and I call my grandfather and I'm like, hey,
just thinking of you today.

Speaker 7 (03:40):
That's so that means a lot to me.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (03:42):
I love the song.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
So the EP. Yes, did I read correctly that you
were a writer on every Trash?

Speaker 7 (03:47):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
God intentional?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Is that something that you said out or is important
to you or is it just play out that way?

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Well, it kind of happened, and like I love being
an artist, but I love being a songwriter too, and
like getting to tell my story through song and all
these moments and you know, they all made them on
the record, and just very very grateful for that. But
I feel like every song kind of shows a different
side of me as a person. And even there's new
music coming out next year top of the year I'm
excited about and just kind of getting to continue that

(04:13):
story about me growing and all these different experiences I
keep having.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, so you're process best song wins and it just
ended up happening there.

Speaker 7 (04:20):
Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
There's so many great songwriters here and so I always
love to listen. But whatever resonates with me in the
moment is what makes it or cool.

Speaker 8 (04:27):
I as an artist, do you feel like it's harder
to sing a song to somebody else? Like, whenever you
write this song you're feeling it, Yeah, and that you
went through. Is that harder to sing a song somebody else?

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Throw It's well, that's a good question, you actually, but
you know, I played like bar shows all the things
my whole life, and there's songs that like I sing
on stage and I'm like like somewhere with you. Kenny
Chesney like, I find myself in that song like everybody does,
and so it's not hard necessarily, but because I still
resonate with that feeling.

Speaker 7 (04:56):
Yeah, I'm so either.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Way, I think, but you know whatever, I'm writting a
so it definitely takes me back to when I wrote it.

Speaker 7 (05:01):
Awesome.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
I feel that way about Ice Ice Baby. That's why
I feel, yeah, yeah, this is me?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
What is.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Club?

Speaker 7 (05:09):
All right?

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Thank you so much for time to enjoy your time.

Speaker 7 (05:12):
So to see you guys, thank you for time.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
I saw that you wrote all those I was like,
that's super Villo boys from Parmally.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
You can say. It feels like Carolina, right, you know
what I mean? And all this talking it definitely does
sounds like it.

Speaker 8 (05:26):
Grandbun knows exactly how many people live I love fun fact,
so he's like, do you know how many people live
in the town they're from?

Speaker 7 (05:32):
And I'm like, no, I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
I think the last twenty twenty census was one hundred
and forty eight.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Oh yeah, so you're up there. No, I feel like
that's strong.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
Well, the sign says to seventy four or to seventy
something like that.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
That was like only twenty government says, I looked it
up because I do twenty things like that.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
But it also and also.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
In my mind, people remember random numbers and stuff, and
so I like man shining out parmally and talking for
a new Yeah, we should get them a new size. Yeah,
you guys dropped it by four, like blame y'all, y'all
left and it drops. But one of the things that
I would love to jump into real quick is I've
known you guys for years, and I've always marveled at

(06:12):
the consistency of the band.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Is that something that you.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Guys talk about harp about because this industry is like this,
and it seems like your band over the last ten
years that I've known you has been steady consistent.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's hard to fathom. But yes, we worked hard at it.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Yeah, we we you know, trying to keep our nose
to the grind and pay attention to what's going on
around you all the time. And I don't know, I mean,
we just show up. You know, we're here and I
don't know, for.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Over twenty years, so I've been together that long. You
can learn how to fight through stuff.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
So here's what we've learned after twenty years it's easier
just to put out hits.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
That's a real ass.

Speaker 7 (06:56):
Tell the true.

Speaker 8 (06:56):
Are we not blaming this song every four songs? I'm like,
oh no, that's no exaggeration. The studio floud is it
playing every four songs? So just know y'all getting in
North Carolina love it is good.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
I love our hometown. Yeah, thank you so much.

Speaker 7 (07:11):
Yeah yeah, thank you for making time for us.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah yeah, we got we got second what do we got?
Man telling us someone that you guys, because you have
been doing this for so long, haven't worked with or
you've seen because this is one of the few times
I feel like the artists are in the same.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, somebody we'd like to work with.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
We haven't. Man, trying to take a look around in
the room. Oh not in the room. You are always
on the on tour. You're never in Nashville for me,
really strings Oh yeah, yeah, he's making a fature. It'd
be fun to do a song with Luke Bryan. I
think that'd be fun for us. That would be fun.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
Yeah, so he could he could probably get down the cowgirl.
He probably had to dance all worked out and everything.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
He would know that, you know, you would be cool
to do something Luke Combs because he's from North Carolina,
Carolina him or Eric just keeping the North Carolina thing going,
That would be dope to do something with those cats.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
You're speaking our language. Yeah, the boys from former league.
Come on now.

Speaker 6 (08:10):
Oh.

Speaker 8 (08:12):

very long because we're kind of going around and getting

the Cat.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
We just got a chance to hang out with Dan
and Jay, which is always a good time.

Speaker 8 (10:38):
Graham got us in trouble because in these interviews you
get timed and so because they're so popular, it was
a hard three minutes and those guys talked for a
solid seven minute.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yeah, we did not obey the rules there, Graham did not.

Speaker 7 (10:52):
But we got in trouble.

Speaker 8 (10:52):
But it was so funny because when Shane Mooney walked
up before the interview even started, he says something to
Graham and his.

Speaker 7 (10:59):
Face he was so serious and he was so sterned.
He was worried.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
