then you know that's pretty much a I'm making a
record the rest of the year.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
You know, we talked with several artists who they can't
believe how big a country fans there are over in Europe.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I know, yeah, I mean it blows my mind. We've
probably been over there. This is maybe our eighth time,
and you know, we just every year just keeps getting
bigger and bigger and bigger, and it's just like such
a cool, such a cool thing to see these like
new country music fans over there every year.

Talking about Russell Dickerson coming to La Vista this Thursday
night at the Astro Amphitheater, and temperature should be about
lower eighties when you take the stage, which sure is better. Yeah, yeah,
sure is better than the three three digit temperatures we've
had here recently. So it should be.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Me about it, man. Oh yeah, I mean it's been
that way in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Too, when you hit the road like you're coming here
in town, when you hit the road and you climb
on the bus, is that still exciting for it. Would
you rather just be able to beam yourself to wherever
you're going?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I mean beaming. I'd say, after a few days, I'm
ready to beam home. But like you know, I always,
I always still get giddy getting on the bus, like
you know, we have it's actually we have Thomas Rett's
old bus and it's like super nice and it's so
homey and cozy and at this I mean we've had
(03:30):
it for two three years now, so it's just like
it feels like home for us. We know where, you know,
we got some good wine on there, we got the
movies that, you know, everything we make it feel like home.

this guy, there's a brand called Orange Swift. I love.
