most eclectic, interesting, hilarious people I have ever met, Briley King.
She's a superstar in her own right. She's married to
Marcus King, and her interview was just hysterical. So I
had to bring it back this time last year. We

I am going to keep a thing. I don't know
how to show the buck up. It's great, genuinely.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Don't have and I just already started rolling and I'm
just going to keep going because I feel like this
is gonna set the tone for our interview.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
This is how it will go.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Briley King, Briley King, the coolest girl in Nashville.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Nah, you are no no new kid on the block.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
How new on the block are you?

Speaker 3 (01:21):
I moved here well twenty twenty two February twenty twenty two,
oh to two to two too, whatever it.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Was, was it important to you to move on February
twenty second and twenty twenty two? Are you weird with
numbers because to to two two two is a big number?

Speaker 3 (01:40):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
You moved on two twenty two in twenty twenty two,
and that night destined to be the coolest kid.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
I asked, Get what angel numbers meant.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
To too too?

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
What is it?

Speaker 3 (01:51):
I think it was You're in the right place or
something like that. They're really letting you know, Yeah, very refreshing.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Do you need a lot of reassurance, Like do you
need to when you make a decision? Do you need
it to be clear that you made the right choice?

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah, for surely. Yeah. Yeah, So that was a that
was a nice little push to Uh. And then my
now husband left for tour, like the next day Marcus
King was alone.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
So why did you move before he left.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Just so he could help me and get everything? You know,
moved in situated and that way. I you know, I
really should have planned even more ahead of time and
and moved when he was still here. Am I making
any sense? Yeah? Uh, moved when he was you know,
off the road and like not doing anything but I
moved the day before. It was just that was the

(02:41):
way I worked a full time job.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
What was your jobs?

Speaker 3 (02:43):
I was a project manager at Bank of America, so
I was working in like acquisitions in the technology space.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
But to be so wildly creative that shocks me that
that was your job.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
How did you do that?

Speaker 3 (02:58):
I don't really know. To this day, I do wonder
because you know, I was eight to five. I was
a totally different bitch. But do you cuss on here? Yeah? Okay, yeah,
eight to five, I'm one person five o'clock. I'm you know,
in my little creative energy.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
So I do you have that technical brand?

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Also?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
No?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
So that's it? That's it? Well, yes, but yes and no.
But that's the beautiful part about being a project managers,
Like you don't have to know the ins and outs
of the tech world, and you know, you're pretty much
just Boston people around telling people what to do.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Are you good at that?

Speaker 4 (03:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:29):
You are good at that?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Where'd you learn that skill?

Speaker 3 (03:33):
You know?

Speaker 4 (03:33):
What?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
You know? It's something I really came into after moving
to Nashville. Like my feminine energy kind of just all
of a sudden came over because I kind of had
to start acting like a man here like Nashville. Yeah,
you gotta have you gotta.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Like you're saying you got your feminine energy you came
here or you have at work.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Well I guess technically, yeah, Like I became more of
a feminist when I moved here, Like I don't need
you to hold the door for me, like, but also
I need you to hold the door for me, you know.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Confusing.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah, I just came into this like energy of if
my husband's gone all the time, so I'm gonna have
to play you know, the smarts of a man meeting
with contractors when they come to your house and they
have to give you a quote for you know, fixing
the sink or remodeling your kitchen or something like that.
I mean that people like that will look at a

(04:20):
woman and screw over in a heartbeat, thinking, oh, we'll
just we'll just shoot high on this job and she
won't know, she won't know the difference. So I I
just felt like I had to like kind of bump
into being a man and a woman thinking like one
at least, and just embrace it and roll with it.
I don't know where I was going with that, but
here we are.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
You said you had more feminine energy before you came here,
and then you married Marcus, he went on the road,
and you're doing all these things interacting in a man's world, and.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
You're like, okay, I had to start like thinking like
a man, but like in a feminine way, if that
makes sense.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Okay, So how does that play out?

Speaker 3 (05:01):
I'm just a bitch, I think.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Do people think that of you? Do you think of you?

Speaker 3 (05:06):
I have no idea. I don't really care.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
I feel like maybe you're disted, yes, very direct. Yeah,
I feel like you maybe just say what you feel.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, that's the thing. That's one thing my business manager
and I were talking about the other day. You know,
she was writing an email while we were on the phone,
and she was phrasing it really nicely, like Hi, could
you please YadA YadA, And I saw this TikTok recently
that was like how a woman writes an email versus
man and like delete the whole first part of the
sentence and just say what you need direct, And that's like,

(05:36):
that's what I That's what I mean. That whole spiral
that I just took you on, that's that's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Say what you mean? Mean what you say, yeah makes
it easier, right, right right?

Speaker 3 (05:45):
I will tell you that, Uh yeah, not being fake
has been a blessing as well.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Have you always been transparent with who you are or
take some growing into Yeah, because it's taken me a
minute to like be okay with people not want liking me.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, now that that's new to me as well.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Like are you okay with people not liking you?

Speaker 3 (06:05):
I'm okay with them not liking me. But what's different
now is they they can let you know. Usually they
just say it behind your back, and now they'll just
comment on your pick and or video it's and tell
you they'll like you. You know, it's it's it's interesting.
But but yeah, I mean, I I've always known I'm
not everybody's cup of tea.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
How'd you know that? Uh?

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Because I'm insane, I mean just a wild wild card.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
So okay, So I went down hard the rabbit hole
with your TikTok. I'm scared and I was just like
in all of you, like all of the things that
are coming out of you, this tiny little human, like
you're an explosion of talent. Not only are you gorgeous
like stunning, you can sing like crazy like no, no, no,

(06:50):
I mean I can sing like I'm a person who
can sing like I can sing, I can like sound good.
But then there's people who can like sing who are
like it's a soul experience. It's not just like hitting
notes and singing. Yeah, it is like a huge like
it's it's an immersion experience. Yeah, and you and your
husband are both that.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Which he's crazy. He man, that guy.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
You're the same. Y'all are like a match female version.
I know, he's freaking phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
I mean, I've never seen somebody walk into a studio
nail something in like thirty minutes and bolt out.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Is that what made you fall in love with him?
It's like just beautiful talent, his soul probably, Yeah, he's soul.
That's okay, So let me finish this. Though you are
an artist, that is also just who you are. I
can tell all of these expressions of you is actually
just who you are, just needing to come out in
all these ways because you have so much power in you. Yeah,
and like your hats, it's so phenomenal and I love it.

(07:46):

Yes, that's been a really cool experience. Obviously, I feel
like not besties. I mean now we're buddies. But it
was fun to see he and Marcus like chat about
the music industry and in their world. But you know,
as well as him rocking my hat's twenty four to seven,
which has just been like a crazy crossover of Marcus
and I's world. Like I'll tell you when he came

(08:17):
out on the stage with Taylor Swift and Flavor Flave
at the VMA's, I thought, this, I.

Speaker 1 (08:25):

Speaker 3 (08:26):
I was crying. I had no idea. I had no idea.
I gave him his first hat a year ago. I
like wrote him a note and just told him about
the hat and never saw him wear it. And I
was like, whatever, you know that. You know how it
is you get free stuff all the time. People were
just sending you stuff like were we wear this? We

(08:47):

him do it, and we never saw him wear it.
And then he just his album The f one trillion,

This is your brain dump. So this is literally what's
going on in your brain. Ashley Simpson is back.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Actually, and I here's this. I wrote it twice, so
I was really passionate about it. Is ave Lavine dead?

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Why do you what makes you think to write it down?

Speaker 3 (12:46):
A lot of times? You know, WHI FI on a plane?

Speaker 1 (12:47):
But like, why don't you just like think it out?
Oh I do?

Speaker 3 (12:49):
I say it out loud and then yeah, that's a
great thought. I want to circle back on that. Yeah,
think about that more. I love turbulence. So yeah, this
is definitely on a plane. And if we don't figure
out what the fuck is going on with Britney Spears
before I pass away, I'm gonna be pissed.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Is that one?

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, I I do. I need to know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
I need to know, Like Briley, you have these thoughts
and then you write them down.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, because I don't want to What am I gonna do?
Go get on TikTok Like I'm holding this like I'm
about to perform, but I'm I am terrified that I
will go. I'll be the one that gets on TikTok
and and like does the brain dump on TikTok and
then just gets like crucified. First, do people come at
you on TikTok?

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Because I feel like you do a lot of clapbacks
if people like saying, like.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Are the gold digger?

Speaker 1 (13:34):
So I think you're a gold digger.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
I mean I think people think that because Marcus and
I don't look like we would go together. You know,
I'm with a long haired, tatted man. I'm this like
little preppy girl.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
You're pretty, you're pretty wild like you're pretty.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
It wasn't always like this, Like Marcus really helped me
come into my into like my true self.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Will you a little bit more like put together polished? Yeah,
a little pearl earrings and stuff?

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Hell no, no, not that. No, I did work for
Lily Plitzer in college? Yes? Yes, but did she carry
the bags? Did I care, of course carry the bags bags?

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Did she all those backs?

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Lillly Plitzer was dresses which are Vera Bradley now Vera Bradley.
I love Vera Bradley. No one loves a Vera Bradley
more than me. That's so funny that you pivoted to
that millennial. Millennial Core is Vera Bradley. And they're back
like Ashley Simpson, just like Ashley Simpson and ever Levine.
I feel like she's coming back to Kesha. She's gonna

(14:32):
come back, right, Yeah, we're gonna get these get these
women back. But Jessica Simpson's back to like everybody's back.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Everybody is back. It's like the nineties all over again.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Doesn't it feel like?

Speaker 1 (14:43):
I feel like we're having a reboots and Brooks and
No Man, both her husbands are on that reboot album.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Talking about TikTok. I can't stop listening and and only
making tiktoks to the reboot album. I'm that obsessed with it.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
That's so good.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Yeah, it is the person done.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
What about them just being back again and then getting
all these awesome singers to like reboot their hits.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
You know, they were one of my I think they
were my first concert. Brooks and Done and I laugh
about it all the time, Like remember they were like,
we're done, not touring anymore, we're not making any new music,
and then bam, we're back. The best thing that could
ever happen. Kicksbrooks what aatie. I mean, I love Ronnie too,
love love me some Kicksbrooks. So I think it kind

(15:25):
of makes Marcus uncomfortable. Actually how much you love them? Yeah,
He's like, there's so weird. But Brooks Kicks has that
uh Dale Earnhardt Senior like daddy energy, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Energy?

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't know anything about him,
were his personal life or you know, anything like that.
But I just like met him once and it's like, yeah,
you run me like Dale Senior daddy kind of pop.
I like that.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
It's very comforting. It's like they can handle the situation.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yes, yes, yes, like yeah, reminds me of my dad.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, yeah, your dad's a truck driver he is. Yeah,
he inspired your hats, right.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Yeah, he he was. Uh one of the reasons that
I started doing it and Marcus as well. You know,
Marcus is always wearing the feathers on his cowboy.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Hat, and we needed base like trucker hat.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yeah, and we needed to dress them up a little bit.
That's I always found myself like kind of looking for
a trucker that was just a little elevated you know, yes, yes,
because they there's just a lot of them everywhere and now,
and uh, they're not always like the most meaningful things,
and so I just I liked to have something that

(16:32):
was a little bit nicer than they. Like what I
have on my head right now, this is but then again,
I'll do be wearing this with like a damn ball gown.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
So this is your hat.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
This is no, this is the guy that makes Marcus
his guitars. Banker Banker my handcrafted Yeah that okay, mister
banker custom on Instagram. But he just had a bunch
of these, and I worked Everyone thinks I'm a banker,
so we did work at a bank, right. So when
I met Marcus's family, they were like, you know, even

(17:02):
like my mom, just people from back home who haven't
really like seen these, you know, the big towers in
the city, like in Charlotte, where people work in Bank
of America. If you tell somebody I work at Bank
of America, they're thinking like a teller or something like that.
And so Markus's family when we first met, they were like, oh,
you know, Uncle Danny had a big amount of money

(17:25):
go missing out of his account the other day. Do
you think that you could, like, you know, help him
with that? And I'm like, I don't know how to
tell you this, but I don't work at like a branch.
I work from home, which is another foreign thing that
my mom couldn't wrap her head around, was working from
home a lot. But anyway, I told his family, I'm like, no,

(17:48):
I'm in like I'm in like acquisitions. So we're like,
you know, taking over a company and banquifying them. And yeah,
I'm not sure that I ever fully explained it to them,
but hopefully Uncle Danny got his money back. I didn't.
I was just like, I can't help in that department.
I don't. I don't do that. I don't. I don't
touch the money, and thank God for it, because I'm

(18:10):
a gold digger, you.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Know, a gold digger. So you would think because of that,
actually you doing a banker hat would be fitting yeah,
I like it. I mean it would fit the brand.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah, I love that. Yeah, this is one of the
first ones that I was.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Think, say, you're a gold digger just because you're married
to Marcus. Was he already like rocking when y'all met? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Yeah, yeah he really was. Tell me he slid my DMS,
threw me a fire the deep.

I was I had gone to his concert. It was
my It was my birthday that week, and so, you know,
white girls into birthdays. I got to have a week

might have even been on a Tuesday. Oh crunk on
a Tuesday.

it is where I'm from. And I anytime I meet
someone that's like, oh, you know, I thought I'd have
my life together by thirty or that this that that that,
I'm like, it's it was the best. Like I came

(20:09):
into my own when I turned thirty. Now I did
meet my husband that week, but I'm just like, yeah, how.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Had you come into your own? I had change or shifted,
I had my dream job.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Hm that was that was really you know where because
my mom was is in finance and you know, worked
for a long standing company like Bank of America, and
so it was just a really good job I had.
Like I'll said, I loved in the you know, cutest
part of Charlotte Dealworth, and I thought, you know this
is I can die happy. I've got a little tether

(20:44):
in the backyard from my dog to run around in
circles on and uh two bed one bad. Yeah. It
was just everything everything I'd ever wanted. And then here
comes mister King.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Were you ever thinking you'd be married to someone like
creative like that? Or would you? Would you have you
would married someone like a banker?

Speaker 3 (21:02):
You know. The thing with me is is like I
didn't ever have a type, so like all the men
were very very different and different different career paths. Uh
So I didn't really know what to expect. Honestly, I
kind of accepted that it wasn't in the cards for
me anytime soon. Like I was just like, I don't

(21:23):
I don't need no man. I was making good money
and I'm like, I don't need anybody to come wreck shop.
You know, I got a truth holding it down myself yeah,
but I'm happy that it happened the way it did.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Okay, so you go to the show, you're looking at stars,
feeling good about thirty.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yeah, wake up at five am, got up firemugie, and.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Uh, the dog something, you know, somebody something or my
neighbor might have stabbed the other one. I don't know,
kind of crazy. Yes, did that happen in your neighborhood? Yes,
my neighbor on the right side stabbed my neighbor on
the left side in my backyard. It's crazy. Your yard
was the battleground. Yeah, yeah, so okay, so my neighbor
was not funny.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
I'm not trying to laugh at that.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Somebody die, No, no, no, they're all good, They're all good.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Thank god. What happened? How could that?

Speaker 3 (22:24):
I think they were drunk.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Why are they even like fighting with each other? And
why are you in the middle? Well, I know you
just positioned. You're in the middle.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Are they like boys, girls.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Men, men? Man? I don't know why they were single?

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Guys married?

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Single?

Speaker 1 (22:37):
What are they fighting over? I don't know. Did they
hang out?

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Were they friends? Yeah? Off and on. They would be
friends one week and and not friends.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
And you were in the middle of it. Did you
feel that energy?

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Nah?

Speaker 3 (22:48):
I was friends with both of them. The one on
the right side, we shared a driveway and he swore
to God that it was his driveway. Well, there was
an easement that said it was mine, and so he
would like he was a little kind of bully energy,
and so I was just like, all right, we're sharing
this driveway, you're gonna let me park in my freaking yard?
And uh, where the where is I going with that?

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (23:12):
So that I was friends with him and the other
other side. I never really needed his help. Sometimes some
tree branches would be coming onto the roof and I
would always have to get him to help me cut down. So,
and he was just really nice.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
So are we thinking the guy on the right started it?

Speaker 3 (23:25):
For sure? For sure?

Speaker 1 (23:27):
So they meet in the middle, and finally the guy
on the left like, I'm not taking this anymore, and
they meet in your yard and he stabs him.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, where's he stab him? I just looked over the
fence when I stepped outside, and he was bleeding in
his forehead. That's all I saw. Yeah, I don't know
what else happened, but I was like, all right, just
let me know if you need the footage from my
security cameras, because I got it out all yeah. Yeah,
And that may not have been the night that Marcus
and I met, but that that did occur. I hope

(23:54):
it was too. I need to go back in.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Your life already. You just live a colorful life, don't you.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
I do, I really do. And I'm I'm so blessed
because like I have people like yourself that will just
come invite me over to their house and let me
talk their freaking head off.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
You know, you're fascinating. Okay, So then you Marcus slides
in the DMS, you're waking up. What happens when you
see his fire emoji?

Speaker 3 (24:14):

tour bus and backstage it's like number one most not
fun place ever.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Like, to be honest, what would you say the vibes
are like just like left to their own devices now
or then backstage before before you come in and you
like set the tone. What are the vibes like backstage?

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Oh? Well, with Marcus it was very I mean it
was very calm. But we went in there and just
immediately were like, Linda Ronstad.

Think they might I think they might have. I think
they might have. Like I don't know, I met on
a dating app or something, because he was on the apps.

He had two girls that he was trying to go
on a date with.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
Vacage. Yeah. I don't know if he if he's ever
told that, I don't know people know that now. No, well,

him no attention, no attention. I was like, all right,
you got on another woman back here.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Oh, I would even hiss. I would have totally been
a bit.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Oh I was not. I was like so not worried
about it. I just went back there with zero expectations.
I was like, I just want to have fun. And yeah,
like you and I can go to dinner in August.
But whatever he wants to take me.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
So what was he trying to do? Just like hang out.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Yeah, everyone just sat there and chilled. I mean it
was we just chilled, dance to listen to music. I'd
go outside with him when he went to smoke a
cigarette and the other other one was trailing behind, and she.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Fail, you're on the Bachelor, like on the no date
with the two.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
No, she didn't hold a flame. I had had a
lock when I walked in. I've never been this confident
in my life. I don't know who this girl is.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
I love you well. I also saw using Broadway in
a robe, so yes, you are confis.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Oh. I was a music theater kid.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Tell you got a crazy.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Vocal pageant girly. Yeah, I didn't compete in the pages.
I was just the talent in between, you know, when
the judges go back to make their decision when.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
They probably wanted to pick you but you weren't a contestant.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, I I'm sore loser, so you know I could like, yeah,
why I'm so competitive?

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Do you have siblings?

Speaker 3 (28:33):
I do, two brothers, middle child, the child's in drome. Competitive. Yeah,
a lot of things, a lot of a lot of
things happening. What are your brothers like, Oh, there's they're
just good old, straight laced, good old boys. My you know,
my younger brother's in construction, and my older brother was
a civil engineer. He's followed in my mom's footsteps finance now.

(28:57):
But they're just good, you know, they're like probably everything
my parents dreamed of. I'm both I'm just like your
typical middle child, you know, only girl wanted to sing
and do pageants and dance and gymnastics and tap and
uh god everything else. Have like four jobs in high school,
just couldn't be still, and then so much energy, so much,

(29:19):
so much, so much, always have That's why I say,
like I've just always been used to, like I'm not
gonna be everyone's favorite person in a room. I'm used
to not being liked by everybody, So.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Would people not like you just because they think there's
just too much going on? They keep up with it? Yeah,
I mean because you're definitely like the kind of sweetest.
The only reason would they just think you just have
putting too much energy on the.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Probably, I mean, it's just it's a lot eighty HD
hyperactivity is a lot.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Thanks, you don't like it's it's intimidating to me, like
walking into a room, Like I feel like more of
a bitch when I walk into a room and I'm
just like, hey, why do you feel like that? Because
I got resting bitch. It is just like it's just
written all over me, and like my nervous energy comes
off like bitchy. Whereas like if I'm just if I

(30:08):
just be myself, be a normal bubbly person, but keep
it between the navigational beeping, like don't get out of control.
I like, have a better time, you know, And you
always have to like walk into rooms with a lot
of women, and I'm just the best way to do it,
I think is just disarm yourself. Hey, how are you
introduced yourself to you know, be the girl's girl. That's

(30:29):
just I don't know. That's been my life the past
couple of years, and I always kind of always been
the way I try to do it with a room
full of girls or like just a room full of
people in general, is just be myself. I love that,
but a little tamer, definitely a little tamer than I'm
being right now. I'm a little wild, like talking and
our camera di talking in spirals. Do we need to pause?

Speaker 1 (30:53):
No, you're great, Okay, So you go on. You you
go to the room with Marcus behind the back boat
with the bus. The other girl she's out in the picture.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Now, Yeah, he's hanging out.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
You're now on the bus with Briley, with Market with.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Marcus and living it up dancing. He wanted to go
outside and smoke a stick and I'd never really been
to that been to that venue before, and so he's
like he just went and they already cleared off the stage.
It was like late. Uh, she's showing me the stage
and all that, and I mean, yeah, I don't I

(31:34):
don't even know. I was drinking vin So and so
was he. So it was just like a natural like
we just naturally gravitated towards each other.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
And easy connection.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Yeah, very easy. In fact, like one of the like
right out the gate. He said something and I said,
look at God and he replied, won't he do it?
And that top it. That's like I'm like, I always
say that and he's like, no, I always say that,
and he goes. I got text my cousin Brantley, she
always says that, and so it was just you know,
he's also from South Carolina. I'm a North Carolina gal,

(32:07):
so I mean, yeah, the Carolinas. I feel like a
lot of those folks are are pretty.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Y'all are like a little little niche yeah, deaf.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Community, yes, community of folks.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
So then did y'all a side right then? And there
you are just gonna date?

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Well yeah, he was like, will you marry me? And
I was that night yeah, he said I really I
want to marry you. And he texted me the next
morning and I was like, good morning, I still want
to marry you. Quit your job and I was like.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Oh, no shit, yeah, are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yeah no, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
So he knew you were just like this fantastical creature
that he would never meet again. He didn't lock it
down he knew you are. You're like a unicorn. Oh
I think that way you aren.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
So is Marcus. He's just like a god. He's so
He's got so many layers to him, Like there's just,
I mean, nothing that you can hate about him, you know,
like instantly when you meet him. A lot of my
friends say, God, when he talks, it's just like a song,
you know, just he's so well spoken. We were talking
about well spoken people earlier, and I don't have that

(33:09):
bone in my body. So when you know, when he
opens his mouth to talk, I'm like, Yes, your completing sentences.
That's hot. I where's the period in my sentence? Because
they don't, they run on I'm the same.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
And then I get out of the situation, I'm like,
what didn't Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:25):
What did I just say? That's how I feel right now,
spiraling out of control.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Oh, but I think that's I think I'm just saying this.
I'm the same. I feel like that's a good quality.
It can get on people's nerves because I feel like
people will get out of me. Also, I feel like
some people just don't like my energy.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Not because I'm as for everybody.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
But just because it's a lot I'm gonna come at
you with a lot of words. I'm gonna come at
you with a lot of things about your life and
question and then questions about everything else, and then it's
just and it's a lot for people. Yeah, I'm trying
to be more calm.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Same, but it's not working. So you need to go
get my xanax Refield or something. I don't know, maybe
get back on that. But yeah, I don't have a
calm bone in my body. I never have. I just never.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
So what went down that night to make him say
I want to marry you? I mean, I know you're magical.
I can already know that, meaning you the white.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Calls went down the esophagus? Is that where they go?

Speaker 1 (34:21):
I mean, yeah, we think so we're gonna.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Go, liquid go down esophagus.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Oh I don't know.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Now you're gonna have to make us figure this out.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Hey, Siri. Else does your drink go down your esophagus?

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Your esophagus is the two that connects your throat to
your stomach.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
It does, all right, move food and liquid? All right? Yes?
One point for is that anatomy?

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Oh yeah, body, and here we.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Go again, Here we go again. I don't know, just
really trying to tap back in that education, high school education.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
That okay, So but like seriously, I know the white
calls went now, but what was that date like to
have someone text you the next day they want to
marry you that night? I mean I would want to
marry you too, But like, well, what went down?

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Just good energy. I mean the love was there, like
it was just like a really really instant connection. And yeah,
we gave us smoog and right when the bus was leaving,
we was it.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
How the kiss go to?

Speaker 3 (35:28):
When we were on when he took me on the stage, Yeah,
you know it was coming. I knew it was coming.
It was coming. Yeah, I mean the energy was like
there all night.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, that's fun.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yeah. So it's like we just need to go take
a little step aside and get this out of the
way because I don't know what the most see you again?

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Wait did he say that?

Speaker 3 (35:43):
No? Oh no, no no, but that was very much
the energy, like let's go, let's go be alone for
a second and get out of the way from everybody.
He asked me if he could kiss me. He's a gentleman,
he really is, like throw and through. So how do
I say it. It just like can I guess you?
And I was like, yeah, let's do it. Come on,
I knocked his cowboy hat. We're just kissing a red
hat and yeah. Then the bus goes to leave and

(36:08):
I get an uber and it was just like a
really sad movie by bas you never I don't know what.
I'll see you again, And woke up to that text.
That was cool, but it was weird. I did.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
I did.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
There was a little little flame there and I was like, man,
this is weird of shit, Like this man's crazy and
he's crazy and so am I and and here we are.
So seven months later he did.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Propose how did y'all date? Like, how'd y'all date with him?
On the road?

Speaker 3 (36:34):
I took my laptop and went on the road with him.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
So that was great. You could work from home, girl.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
I would be in a field trying to connect, like
carrying the laptop around looking for a signal because you know,
like festivals and stuff.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Yeah, this body no internet.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Yeah, and even your cell phone doesn't really work, so
like if you're trying to connect through your hot spot
on your front, it's just bad, bad, bad news. So
it wasn't really like it wasn't really the greatest setup,
but we made it work.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
And what was that like, Tori? So you probably had
never toured before.

Speaker 3 (37:07):

Speaker 1 (39:35):
Pet coat? What Russian blue hairs are phenomenal?

Speaker 3 (39:38):
Yeah, they're beautiful cats and they're just like short haired
and she's so sweet. Are they kind of blue? Yeah? Yeah?
Did you say blue or gray? Russian blue hair? Russian
blue blue, but Russian blue is what they're called. They're
but they're kind of gray but blue on the hair.
Really pretty eyes. Ye have. My girlfriend has one of those.
Do you love having cats? I do. They're so sweet.

(39:58):
We've got a here tuxedo and his name is Zip
and then we've got his sister Biddy short for bitch
because she was a bitchy kitten, pitchy kitten, but now
she's the sweeter of the two. So Biddy and Zip
but they're brother and sister. And then we rescue them
from a Percy priest.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
Do they make your house feel like there's dander everywhere?
And like are people sneezing?

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Oh no, no, but we've we're just now kind of
getting settled into a new house. So they're still adjusting,
you know, and cats have you know, anxiety moving places,
like it takes them a little bit to adapt, more
so than a dog in my opinion, Like you don't
you wouldn't ride around with your cat in your car, right,

(40:42):
And so they're they're adjusting. I don't know, I don't
know how it's gonna play out, but we'll see. They've
got they've got a whole like space set up for them, like.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
A cat room. They do.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
Yeah, they've got like a whole. They have little robots galore.
They everything's like automatic, they all if the cameras are
on everything because we travel so much. So that's what
we got twos because they cats. Yeah, they do better
in pairs, especially they're going to be you know, alone
for like a couple of days. But thankfully we have

(41:13):
you know, friends and neighbors and people like that that
come check on dogs, cats yard.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Yeah, so I don't know where I was. See now
I've gotten off track. I know.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Sorry, I probably just derailed your whole list. And we
can go back to mind if you won't.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
No, but I want to finish back with you and
Marcus dating on the road. I don't know how we
got to animals, So sorry anyone. If we don't circle back,
I'm gonna try to remember.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
Yeah. Probably the viewers are probably really overwhelmed.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
One of us together, we are like scary. I love it.
I'm having a great time. Okay, the road, God bless yourselves.
They are dating on the road, and it's a whole
new life. You're looking for internet and fields and you're

(42:02):
living with stinky boys. But you loving it.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
Yeah, loving it. I bring him home him to meet
my family at that Christmas and my me ma just
immediately took to him. So my grandfather got you got
sick the day after I met Marcus. So we my
family very much. And he passed like a week later,
and so my fam I don't maybe not my whole

(42:27):
I don't want to speak for my whole family. I
don't think that way, but I and my mom and
my grandmother all feel like Marcus was kind of like,
you know, like my grandfather, and almost sent him as
because they Marcus has grandpa energy.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
He's like wise, Yeah, it's like wisdom. He's like a sage.
Like when you like see him speak his spirit, the
way he plays guitar or anything, it's literally like with.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
His soul, like with his soul being with his ninety
year old soul.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Yeah, he just knows things, doesn't he.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Yes, Oh my god, he's smart as a whip. And
he fell Uh he quit high school. He dropped out
because he didn't need it. Yeah. Well yeah, when you're
that damn good. But yeah, he's so yeah, he's got
the grandpa energy.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
So I took him home, met all the family.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
Yeah, they loved him. My brother was like Mark's king,
Oh he was? He like that, he's a fan. And
I was like, Dad, you didn't you didn't tell anybody before.
Dad's like I don't know who he is, Like, I
don't know who he is. It was it was cool,
met the family. They loved him, and then uh that

(43:33):
February of twenty two, we got engaged and I be
bopped on over to Nashville.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Okay, So then circling back to the beginning of this conversation,
I can't believe him to circle back. That's when you
were moving to Nashville after you met him and all that,
and then he was.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
Going engaged and engaged, hitting the road.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
So then at that point, had you left everything your
past life and you just packed it all up and
came to Nashville. So he's on the road. You didn't
really have a time when he wasn't not touring. Is
still there's no like perfect time, right, Okay, So then
you're moving here in two two on the two Whirlwind,
and how has it been. It's not even here two years.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
Yeah, it's been good. I've loved it. Almost three were.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
All married right when all moved here. Just engaged.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
We we were engaged. So we we did the whole
year long engagement thing, and we needed it because I
you'd have living on the road like that and trying
to play in a wedding. We were recording his record.
We he was recording his record with Rick Rubin in Italy.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Hand on. We can't just like you can't like just
breeze past that you go over there.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
Yeah, yeah, we lived. We lived.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
Like where did he record it, like in a castle
or something?

Speaker 3 (44:41):
Yeah, it was. It was I don't know if it
was a castle. I think it was. It was like
an old church. There's a school in there, a church. Yeah. Huge,
There's a lot.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Is the album just like otherworldly, spiritual incredible, like Rick
Rubin in a castle in Italy.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
The first half I was done in Malibu in in
Uh yeah, in Malibu at Rix Malibu home Hella. That
was quite the sentence. Okay, the first half of it
was done. That was like our third date was in
Malibu and then yeah, by the time we finished the record,
he finished the record kept saying we I sang backup

(45:21):
vocals on it, and I think I did. Yeah. I
just think I'm just the tits you are.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
That's amazing.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Yeah. We uh we were in Italy. Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
Right, baby? Do you mind let her in? Kate?

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Thank you, Law.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
That's amazing, Law. What does that mean? That's laul, Laul.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
It's just that rednecks in there. Come on, Ruby girl,
get in here. Ruby.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Do you got something to tell us from Ruby?

Speaker 3 (45:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (45:50):
Ruby, she really wants to say something.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
She said, I'm going to go see Jelly Roll tonight.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
That's amazing. So you went to Malibu, you heard that one.
You were recorded there and you were singing back up vocals?
Did you sing backup vocals in.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
Italy is where I did it?

Speaker 1 (46:06):
Yeah, he's backup vocals with Marcus in Italy and in
a castle.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
Yeah. Probably one of the scariest things I've ever done.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Is that one of the coolest experiences of your life.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
It was cool, but it was really scary. I mean
Rick Rubin if if you know anything about Rick, I
mean just like appearance wise, he's very stoic, like has
very peaceful energy, like kind of the opposite of what
I was would describe myself.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
As That's what Marcus's energy is.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
Yeah. Yeah, so they they Yeah, they have great chemistry
and it was really cool to be a part of
the process and but nerve wracking for me because I
you know, like I sing, but like I was, like,
like I said, doing the local pageant.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
But you're phenomenal, like you are phenomenal. Thanks, And Marcus
probably don't even know you sang when you met. You
didn't know he didn't and you just bust this out
later down the road you're like, oh, by the way,
it's freaking awesome.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
He forced me into that for sure, for sure. Yeah,
I did not want to sing, and he's always like
always pulling me out. I just don't, like, I never
it's just not like that's not my like motive for
being in this relationship and I relationship relationship, and I
just never wanted to like come across that.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Way, and it doesn't at all.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
And honestly, like me, it's really hard to stand next
to him. I mean, he's so good. He's so good,
and I'm not the best like harmonizing and things like that.
So I get really really like I have stage right bad,
and I'll get up there and start talking, start talking,
have two glasses of wine, just start running my mouth
on stage.

Speaker 4 (47:33):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
God.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
So you get up on stage and singing with him,
uh huh sometimes like like you sing like landslide together?

Speaker 3 (47:39):
What else did you sing his his uh song on
his new records called Delilah. That's the one that we've
been really hitting lately. Yeah, landslide. Oh the first time
were inger, yeah linger that we did that one at
the beach. The first time we ever sang together. The
little girl that I nannied when I was in college.

(48:02):
I had like four hundred jobs at one time. The
little girl I nannied was getting married and she asked
me to sing in her wedding and I was like, okay, well,
if you're gonna be my puzzle one like, would you
mind like playing the guitar for this song? And it
was Joy in My Life, which is John Fogerty song,
but you know, made uh New Again by Stapleton. So,

(48:22):
and Marcus was on tour with Stapleton. You know, all
the stars were aligning. So we do Joy of My
Life a lot. We and we we obviously look up
to Chris and Morgan a lot because they travel with
you know, all the road, They've got kids, all the things,
and they I mean, handle it, yeah, hang it all.
So well yeah, yeah, that's amazing thought.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
So did you sing on tour with him?

Speaker 3 (48:44):
Yeah? But just not not not every night, Like he
really has to drag my ass out there. I'm like
fighting backstage, like no you do it, No to come
my name, I'm not coming out. I hate it. I
don't hate it. I need to stop. I don't mean
to be negative. I don't hate it. It is just
I just have really bad stage.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
Right, Okay, Just so you know, from the perspective of
the people watching you, guys, that is a cool moment
for people to get experienced, Like I know how you're
personally feeling, Yes, if you want to hear it from
the perspective of a fan, like how amazing to have
this artist that you love to listen to Marcus and
then his amazing, awesome other half comes out and sings

(49:23):
with them. It just gives you like a little insight
into their world, you know, And it's just a cool
thing for like people to get to see.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
I think, yeah, I think it's cool. I think that's
like been one of the harder things that I've you know,
had to accept as like being in this position as
a wife of people want to want to know more
about your relationship. They want to dig and speculate and
you know whatever else that they do, but they want
to get to know the wive you know, the wives
of and I just I'm like, I just want to

(49:54):
be in the background, you know, I just want to
make my hat and do my shit. Like let me.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
You're never going to be in the background, right, Oh, well,
it's not physically possible. You're too me and you, like
I said in the beginning, Okay, now I'm so glad.
I'm circling back to the beginning. You have so much
coming out of you at one time, Like you're Broadway musicals,
your creation of hats, the way you sing, your incredible style,
your the way you can do all these different jobs,
and like do so many things at one time. Like

(50:19):
you have so much coming out of you at one
time that it's impossible. You're never going to be able
to be in the background. You have too much to
share all the time. It's the way you're built, and
it's what's so awesome about you.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
Thank you. I think that's what I was trying to
get at when we first sat down talk about my
feminine and masculine energy that I've had to tap into.
Is like I have played, you know, all these roles
in life, like whether it be a job role or
my role as a wife, his background vocalist, you know,
whatever it may be. It's just kind of tap into
all these energies for each room that I'm in, you

(50:51):
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Yes, You've got a lot of doors that you can open. Yeah,
in your personality, Yeah, big toolkit and you get a
big toolkit.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
Yeah, my parents raised me that way. My dad being
on the road, my mom, you know you kind of
being not not a single mom, but her dad's gone. Yeah,
she had to play both parts a lot of times,
and so that's just kind of where all that that
energy comes from. I think, is you know, just watching them.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Do you think your dad being on the road prepared
you for being married to Marcus.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
I mean I was knee deep in therapy when Marcus
and I met, and my therapist kind of always told me, like,
you're you're I can just you're gonna be in a
similar situation that like you were raised in. You'll thrive
in that. And I mean it's going well, so far
better celebrate two years in February. So yeah, so she

(51:40):
was kind of spot on with it. She's like, you've
just your dad was in and out in the best way.
Long haul truck drivers are gone like every other day.
So mom really had a heavy load to carry, and
she's like, you were built for that. That's that's the
you know, kind of relationship you need. And Marcus kind
of well, he didn't follow my lap. He'd fell on
my DMS so and Yeah, it's been this wild rout

(52:04):
of living in Nashville ever since.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
But I feel like Marcus with who he is as
an artist, and this is what it's also trying to
stay in the beginning. You can tell when he sings
it is like and like you're talking about his whole personality.
It's an extension of who he is. Yeah, like his
music is just like all of your stuff is an
extension of who you are. That's probably why y'all match
so quickly, is because y'all are both so authentically expressing yourself.

(52:26):
Thank you, your soul through the physical you know. I
feel like being in the physical body is our vehicle
to express who we are, correct, and y'all are doing
it so well. Like y'all are both doing such a
good job of expressing your soul outwardly, which I think
is the coolest part of being human.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
Yeah, Mark's actually you know, it says all the time
that his guitar is an extension of him, Like it's
just like so natural that everything that comes out of
him is so genuine.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
And it's just flowing his uh antenna's turned on.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
H Yeah, He's just he's brilliant and like, how can
you not like fall in love with a guy like that,
Like you don't. You don't meet that every day on
the street or on an app.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
What is y'all's day to day relationship?

Speaker 3 (53:10):
Like, oh my god, can I just give you a
rundown of today.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
And tell me that y'all's dynamics dynamic?

Speaker 3 (53:18):
Oh? And then I want to hear somehow I knew
you were going to ask this question, what is our dynamic?
And how do I put it? Simply? Like, I don't know.
We both wear the pants. We were very considerative of
each other in in life decisions and travel and what
each other can handle emotionally. And uh, he was in

(53:41):
therapy when I left, So I was like, well, I
love you be right back. So love that because he's
in therapy. I'm in therapy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
Yeah, it's important to y'all both to do the work inwardly.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
Yeah, and then meet in the middle and that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
Y'all talk about y'all was like, would work together?

Speaker 3 (54:02):
No, actually we don't. We just try to apply it
because if if we're in an argument, I will say like, okay,
well can I give you this perspective of like what
I've been working on and like how I tried to
approach this differently and maybe why it didn't work. Yes,
like for sure, Yeah, well you've married and you know
back and now now it's like you gotta work on it.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
So that's awesome though. Yeah, I think that's like such
a key Yeah.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
Communication, I mean, that's all it boils down to is
just talking. And I'm not the most like feelings, warmy,
fuzzy gal. So he definitely pulls all of that out
of me, especially in an argument, because I wanted to
like shut down. That's the only time I will be quiet, damn.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
So if you're quiet, something something's up.

Speaker 3 (54:43):
Yeah, something's ever. My period's coming, you know, one of
the two. But I don't know. We yeah, we both
wear the pants or he wears the pants. I pick
them out something like that. Yeah that's awesome. And uh
yeah so today, gosh, I up at like nine being
a crazy woman. You know, I was getting in the
crevices of the corners of the house at the vacuum,

(55:05):
being a nut job. Like eight am. I had to
do a couple zoom business meetings this morning, be all
prim and proper on some calls. And he usually sleeps
in when he's off the road and I give him
that time. That man's got the noise machine on volume
one hundred and those curtains are shut tight, and he
I let him snooze. He'll get up, maybe burn a

(55:26):
cigarette or a joint and we'll have lunch. Like today.
I sprung it on him at like one o'clock. I
was like, hey, can we take our Christmas pictures? And
He's like right now? And I'm like right now because
I've got makeup on, it's a sunshiny day and he's
leaving for an acoustic run in December. I'm like, I'm

(55:47):
never gonna get these bitches out if we don't take
it now. So we took it. This pinky ring that
he gave me as a wedding gift the day we
got married flew off my hand during photos, so we
like lost it. We're spiraling over that. I'm in my tights,
you know, I like ripped my dress off, put my
running shorts on over my tights, and I'm down there
in the ivy like where rifts and where its? It

(56:09):
was in my pocketbook. It did. It didn't even make
it to the porch. It fell off in my pocketbook
before we got to the picture. So I was sitting
over there thinking, I know I heard it. He said
I heard it too, too, crazy people in a relationship.
So that's the day to day right there. But anyway,
found the ring and was like, all right, I could

(56:30):
we know. I sucked it up and I was like,
get these damn pictures out of the way. Then to
find my ring, and yeah, right as I was leaving
to come here, I was like, are you shipping me?
It was in my pocketbook the whole time. So when
I went to get my lip claws, it must have
like slid off. Your fingers are like, really, mine are
shriveled up right now because it's so cold. It's so cold.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Yeah. Anyway, so this is kind of the vibes.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
And we're yeah, we're big time on. I'm not. I'm
not like a super chef, like a super housewife. It's
just that's the one one place God failed me. Yeah,
I'm vacuum.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
I can vacuum. My vacuum is out. I vacuum every day.
Sunny in my five year old she's like, Mom, it's
not vacuum. I'm like, sorry, do you want to clean
for right?

Speaker 3 (57:11):
Right? Do you want dog? Hair in your cheerios. No
you don't, No, you don't.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
Yeah, I don't cook either, I mean I can. It's
unfortunate for anyone who has to eat it.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
Yeah, we're big crop pot people.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
That's good. I like an instant pot.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
Yes, yeah, same. I really want to come out with
a cookbook for like like picky eaters like myself. Like,
what do you like to eat chicken? I was miserable
in Italy? I mean I was eating charcoterie boards every day,
cheese and baloney and red wine and rose. So they
didn't have chicken tenders of it.

Speaker 4 (57:43):
There.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
You like a big old chicken dinner, girl, chicken?

Speaker 3 (57:46):
I'm country, yes, North Carolina, big meal if you're gonna
have your purple Bojangles Kids Meal Supreme with sweet tea
and barbecue sauce. Dirty rice?

Speaker 1 (57:56):
What's dirty rice?

Speaker 3 (58:00):
Is rice with like sausage in it. It's on the
menu at Bojangles. Have you been to Bojangles?

Speaker 4 (58:06):
Oh my god?

Speaker 3 (58:07):
All right, well, don't go in Tennessee because they don't
have the supremes. Okay, so you gotta go like a
Tans Incorporated. That's sad. I know then, which franchise is
to hit in North Carolina. They're definitely Alabama. Maybe that's
why I was loving Alabama all summer's because they have
the Supremes. But anyway, there's specific type of chicken tender

(58:27):
that Bojangles has called kids like the Chicken Supremes. Yeah,
that's what they called and they're way better than the
homestyle chicken tenders that are here. Okay, so on the road,
I have to have a chicken tender that's just like
a daily chicken is.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
Daily every day. Yeah, put a chicken you want to tender.

Speaker 3 (58:43):
It doesn't have to be but yeah, I'm usually eating
love Ruby, sorry joined bad.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
I could literally go off with you all.

Speaker 4 (58:54):
Day, Briley.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
I'm gonna try to take us home here, although I
don't want to. I love talking to you right now,
to Marcus for.

Speaker 3 (59:16):
A year and a half, almost two years, two years
in February.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
That's the best part of being married.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
Best part of being married. I mean, it's just living
with your best friends, like being back in the sorority house.
But it's a man. Yeah, you know, being married to
your best friend who understands all your your kinks and
your quirks. Not I don't mean like that, but you
know you know what I mean like that I did
maybe a little, but I mean that dude, Yeah, and

(59:42):
one that will you pick up the load for you
when you can't handle it all. That's, you know, very
much the beauty of being married to Marcus King.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
What is the joy of road life for you?

Speaker 3 (59:52):
The joy of road life, I mean just seeing everybody's
faces and how much they like appreciate his music because
his fans are so passionate, like they love him so much,
they love me. They give me such a big old hug.
You know. Marcus caused me little bird, so a lot
of his fans know me as that. And where did
that come from? That was the night we met. I
had on this huge gold calf tan and it's like

(01:00:13):
me to say something self deprecating when I walk in
a room, so that like I'll talk to you about myself,
so that y'all won't do it. And I was like,
what's up, y'all look like big bird and he goes, no,
you're a little bird. And that was like our first exchange,
and so now I'm a little bird to his fans.
So anyway, back to the question, because here I go,
going down alleyway, a dark one. I'm sure are they

(01:00:36):
ever liked I don't know, but anyway, the joy of
being on the road is definitely just like seeing the
fans and how much how obsessed with Marcus they are
just as much as I am.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
That's amazing. What have you loved about being a business
owner and launching your hot company? A little bird trucking
would have been the joys and would have been the
growing pains.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
Oh, the growing pain. Yeah. Well I did it all
by myself, like was making the hats, like I mean,
I was the accountant, shipping customer service, not anymore. I
finally was able to get help. I was. I don't
know if I just recently started talking about it, but
I got like super duper like sick from stress. I

(01:01:20):
was down to like eighty six pounds in August. Yeah,
it was. It was stress like the hat, Yeah, just
from carrying the load by myself, Like it was getting
bigger and bigger and bigger. Posts had started to wear it.
I was, you know, selling out every time, and now
like I have to be able to scale this, like
I don't want it to be an unattainable thing for
people to get a hat, Like I want everyone to

(01:01:41):
have one, and.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Good problems to have, but yeah, not when you're the
only one.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
And not when you don't really know anybody in town,
you don't know who to call to help you, or
so it was. That was, you know, one of the
growing pains is like finding the right help and you
know the people that would that understand the vision of
little Bird, which I don't even understand some day it
is because I'm so meaning. I got these jackets coming out.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Like are those you're under brand?

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
Yeah, in like a couple of weeks, and I'm just like,
all right, were we we're doing? Are we doing clothes?
I don't know, Yeah, you're doing it jack far And
so that was definitely one of the growing pains. It
still is. One of the growing pains is like where
did you take it to next?

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
How did you get help for that? Like? How did you?

Speaker 3 (01:02:22):
Marcus? I mean he was like, girl, the trucker hats down.
He he helped me get in touch with the with
the right people, people that you know can handle the
fulfillment on that level, because I mean we're talking like
I'd done over ten thousand myself. Yeah, it was insane.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
That's amazing for your business, it was, But like crazy
to do on your own.

Speaker 3 (01:02:41):
It was great. I'm I'm beyond grateful, but it was
just a lot, you know, the customer service was I
was getting slower because I was getting sicker, and that
was just because I just needed an app. I just
needed to take take a break and eat some food
and not be stressed out that because you know, somebody's
hat didn't make it to them that they would like

(01:03:02):
trash me on the internet or something like that. It's
not that it's not that serious, like okay, but I
took it that serious and well because it meant the
world to me is my name. You know, I wanted,
I wanted to succeed. I want every like I said,
I wanted everyone to have one. And now I'm just
able to do it a whole lot faster with a
lot of help. So that's been one of the joys
of joys and growing pains of it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Yeah, Ruby's the Ruby's looking herself in the reflection and growling.

Speaker 3 (01:03:28):
Not a big Cacti fan.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
Okay, so what are you? How do you? We're gonna
wrap up. We're both undry jelly roll tonight, which I
cannot wait for twenty I'm so excited to see jelly roll.
I mean, you got these cute little shoes with a
little clip on them. I was like, what are you
put in there? And you're like, well, money joints, whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
Points and money. And my husband carries my ID and
his wallet. So if I don't feel like clunking a
person around, I'm good to go all I look, all
I need is these two little, two little things on there,
and I can go all night. I mean to take
down the town.

Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
What have you loved about Nashville because it was a
big move, like you, your whole life jumped into relationship.
I mean with an artist that people knew. A whole
new world was your hats. Yeah, I mean became a
fashion icon that everyone loves and adults, I mean, you
are it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:19):
And I know where I'm gonna came. And I got
a skip therapy for a week here.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
Yeah, call me, I'll give you, I'll butter you all up,
but it's all gonna be true. Think I'll tell you
all the good things and I'm not lying.

Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
I appreciate. Yeah. One of the things I've really loved about. Uh,
you asked me what I love about Nashville.

Speaker 1 (01:04:37):
Yeah, and this big, this big life ship that you've done.

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):
Yeah, it's something really unexpecting for me. Was the the
diversity of uh of Nashville that you don't really see
like portrayed online or on TV shows things like that.
I mean, there's there are all genres of music here.
There are like so many talented musicians here of all
back grounds, and so that was like one thing that

(01:05:02):
I've really loved about Nashville is like I can pop
over to East and see this type of artists, pop
over to this, you know, go to Bridgestone, go see
jelly Roll hit Broadway, see you know those hard, hard
working men and women out there. I mean, it's there's
so much diversity, it's not just country, and I've loved
that Nashville is really embracing fashion. You know, like boot
Barn just had a fashion show here that'll be on

(01:05:25):
Hulu in January. I don't know why I'm plugging it,
but I am. But I went and I was just
really excited to see a fashion show and you know,
just Nashville and embracing that because I think we're next
on the radar for you know big you know big.
Uh What am I trying to say here? Like I
don't know, just a big part of an extension of

(01:05:48):
the music is fashion always, and so I could see
like the trickle down from New York. You see, every
time you go out, you'll meet somebody from California, come
somebody coming from Texas, and those are all just really
really strong fashion or fashion heavy states cities. And I'm
glad that Nashville's like kind of coming on the on
the map with that, and you know, along with the diversity.

(01:06:11):
I cannot talk today, my goodness.

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
Okay, And I'll wrap up with what if you could
plan your next five years out, what would have happened?
What would have transpired?

Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
Oh? Man, my next five years? Hmm, I don't know,
because I I've my whole life motto is like, don't
live on a timeline, because I was miserable when I did.
Circling back to my comment in the beginning about if
I'm not married by twenty five, f me like shit,

(01:06:48):
because that's how I lived for a while. I'm a
huge Casey Musgraves fan. One of her songs, she says,
if you don't have two kids by twenty one, you're
probably gonna die alone, because that's that's the way we
were raised. If you're you make thirty, you're washed up.
So I don't know. I cannot predict the future, but
I'd love to have some babies at some point, and

(01:07:09):
just a happy, healthy marriage is really all I could
ever ask for in this in this industry and in
this lifetime, in this economy. I mean, shit, we're all hurting,
but I'm blessed.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
I love that I always wrap up with leave your light,
and it's just dropping some inspiration. What do you want
to tell people? What do you want people to know?

Speaker 3 (01:07:30):
You can live outside the box, that little box that
your hometown puts you in. You can live outside of it.
You know, get the college degree, do whatever whatever makes
mom and dad happy, but also prioritize yourself. I I
was definitely doing things earlier in life that were specific
to what my parents had envisioned my life looking like.

(01:07:52):
And I'm so glad that I've learned to embrace living
outside the box, because, like I said, I think that's
when my life really began, was when I turned thirty
and learned that, you know, I don't have to be
a square. I don't have to live in this little square.
Throw your senior superlatives out the window. Let that kind
of go even though I was class clown and most talkative.
That's kind of stuck. But you know, throw that kind

(01:08:13):
of shit out the window and just live your life
like who cares what anybody thinks. We've got one life
and get on TikTok and post your notes.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
Your Your TikTok is such a treat. Everyone needs to
follow you.

Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
And girl, it's a mess.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
Wait what is it?

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
Just Braley kids Mill Supreme. It's my order from Bojangles.
That's yeah, I didn't. I didn't know that it was
going to take off. And then I was like, well,
it's too late to change. It's kids Mill Supreme. That's
what I get from Bojangles. And I still can't get
a sponsorship God Tans Incorporated, Bojangle. Somebody reach out, send
me a hoodie, something, a bumper sticker, anything, magnet, something
would be nice.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
And then you said something too that you said, Marcus
really influenced your style and you didn't always used to
be this bright, because now I mean you're bowld and
bright and you're being bright, like your outfits are created
in they're like all all of it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:03):
Yeah, that's that's all you get there. I think just
being a gentleman and complimenting me every time I was
dressed or undressed. You know what's like you can wear that,
you can wear that, I think that looks great. I
mean you just always it's complimentary or it'll be like
a straight shooter and tell me like maybe you can
trust him? Yeah yeah, because he I mean, look look

(01:09:26):
at his Instagram, like he's a fashionista himself. He's really
really into his own and yeah, when you're on the
road living out of a suitcase, like it's terrible for
me because eventually, like the whole suitcase just winds up
on my body. I'm like, oh, how many layers can
I add? Because every layer is a conversation piece, right,
So just look at it that way every time I

(01:09:48):
get dressed, Like what are we gonna like, what's going
to be the topic today?

Speaker 1 (01:09:52):
You know? Now that is a book. Yeah, that's a book.
If you should write that, Like I'm gonna need clothes
could talk, you know something like that.

Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
I can talk, but if my clothes could, we would
need somebody to write it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
Okay, everyone, we said it here first. That's gonna be
your book if clothes can talk because I can't, or
something you know, but how it's like when you put
together an outfit, it's because you are expressing how you
want to express yourself that day, and it makes it
so much more fashion. It's actually like who you are.

Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
Oh my gosh, very much. So like the trucker hat thing,
I'm like, I'm naked if I don't have one on
my head.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
Not always like I we had the CMA's and uh
that bootbarn red carpet thing, and so I was like,
can I put it on? Can I put that on?
And everyone's like, no, we have glam here, You're putting
your hair up. And I'm like, okay, fine, which I
do love some damn glam now.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
Oh I love to get bring on a glow.

Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
Yeah. But it's like a safety blanket for me.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
Okay, just kind of comforting. Yeah, like your blanket.

Speaker 3 (01:10:58):
Every time I post on TikTok that one. Like when
I was posting that glam, Everyone's like, I don't think
I've ever seen your forehead. Well here it is, and
it's a true forehead. I've been measuring mine lately because
I'm a forehead well you know, a forefinger forehead. It's
because everyone's like, damn her forehead's huge, and I'm like, no,
it's just the first time you're seeing what people think
you have a big forehead. I think for a second

(01:11:19):
there they're just shocked.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
That's not a big forehead.

Speaker 3 (01:11:23):
It's four. You're a four.

Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
I mean, I don't feel like you have a big
four head at all.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
I don't either. I think it's just like a really
big shock and maybe in the angle, I don't know.
I'm like I putt some weird things. So it's also
do you know, just the shock like when you get
your braces often do you feel like did you have braces?
Do you feel like your teeth were.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
Like you were hat so much that people were just
shocked to see your forehead.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
Yeah, I don't post. It's not even that. I don't
really post without one, Like I'm not wearing a damn
truck or hat while I'm being psycho vacuum in and
getting into corners like that. My hair is on top
of my head and a bun. But yeah, if I'm
out and about, I don't know. I just feel better
and I don't always have to wash my hair. And
I went crazy and cut banks in May.

Speaker 1 (01:12:03):
How how's it been, bitch? Were were going through something
usually like die hair cut banks. I always do, I
cut my hair and diet when I'm.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
Saying yeah, that was like kind of the start of
like when I was like my stressy and depressy episode.
But we were popped back up, okay, And but they
look good when they're styled.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
