You're a good friend of the show. The new album

(00:56):
tours underway. Brentley, Gilbert Brentley, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Brother's going all?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Really good to see you, man, couldn't see you brother. Well, hey,
let's start right there.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
This is a very special album. A lot of great
collaborations on it too. I love it from the standpoint
of just excellent music that you guys have put out.
Tell me all about Tattoos when it came out in September,
just a phenomenal job.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Man, Thank you brother.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It was uh, you know, we we've we've been really
happy with that album.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
It Uh, you know, all of my albums up to
this point, I've always told my story, uh, but this one,
this one's no different in that respect.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It is. It is a little different.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
In the you know, the days of the long you
know thirty Soul records or you know the ones that
I loved, Uh, you know, tell this giant story and
you know all that the days of that are kind
of over for us. It's just hard to get people
to to center in for for that many songs.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
You know, you end up burning a bunch.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So going back to a Tenstone format, Uh, you know,
it's actually kind of fun because we we we had
to do our thing and stay outside of the box,
and you know that only allows you so many songs
to get your point across. And it was kind of
cool to be able to use this song like Tattoos
because you know, it tells, you know, my tattoos tell
them stories, tell my story within themselves.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So that was kind of the idea.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
My tattoos have done what my albums have done through
the years, they did tell my story.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
So yeah, man, we're just rocking and rolling.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, take me back, speaking of rock and rolling, I
saw you there, Billy Bobbs last year too, had a
great time sold out that venue there on the Off
the Rails tour, which is fantastic. You know, Off the
Rails kind of set the tone for twenty twenty four,
the East the rest of the way what it was
going to be like, because this song ended up on
the Tattoos record. Had a phenomenal time there. You had
the Off the Rails tour and you guys led right
into the album recapped that for me, how much you're
(02:49):
just a kind of a blur. Successful year twenty twenty
four was crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Right, Well, buddy, I haven't telling you man, I feel
like the last seven years since my son's feet hit
the Yeah, budd it is you know, somebody hit the
fast forward button. You know, you hear people talk about
you know, through the years, everybody tells you, y'all, wait.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Till you have kids.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
You'll understand when you have kids, and it was like, yeah, whatever,
and then it's sure enough.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Man, when they hit the ground, everything moves so fast.
It's uh.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I feel like the last seven years have been a blurb,
but definitely twenty twenty four was white ass open from
the word go.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
But we were able to get out on tour man
with Struggle Jennings and Demon Jones and Adam Calhoun and
I mean, I've got a picture on my bus wall
because it was spent. It literally was one of the
most memorable tours of my life for a million reasons,
but especially the fact that you know, my wife gave
birth in the middle of a show in two below,
(03:44):
Mississippi on a tour bus.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
So uh it was. It was kind of a full
circle moment.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Imagine too, hey when you look at the record there too,
and you've got Justin Moore feature Hammel saw you guys
collaborating with dirty money and of course, the great one.
I love her so much, one of those superstars in
the female category. And Ashley cook Over when we're sober,
Man talk about just some of the great collaborations, and
specifically those two songs, because man, you got to work
with I mean, obviously legendary one and Justin Moore and
(04:14):
a rising country artist in her own right, and Ashley
cook absolutely.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Man collaborations have always been really fun to me, and
I really like working with folks that I know and
then I care about. You know, Justin and I have
gone back and forth on each other's albums. Me and
Coke kind of done the same thing through the years.
But anytime you get to mix it up with somebody new,
it's awesome. And you know, Justin, I feel like is
one of the most underrated vocalists in our genre. Man,
(04:40):
that dude is a straight monster and he's an incredible guy.
He's one of my best friends in the business that
anytime I get a chance to get with him on
a song, we knock it out. But you know, when
it came to Ashley cook Man, you know a lot
of times when you write a song, you.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Know could be a duet, which was the case with
that one.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
You know, you meet start thinking about who might be
on it, and we had so many names come across
the desk. Man, But when hers came I had seen
her play a show about a month before, and by
the end of her show, all my crew guys, all
my bang guys. The word had kind of been passed
around the event we were at that there was this
girl on stage just killing it, and we all ended
(05:22):
up out there watching her show, and man, she just
she was working the stage. So she's been doing it
twenty years, this wide open since. It's kind of crazy
to stay up and coming when you talk about that one,
because she she does act like she doesn't act like
a rookie.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Man, she.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Is a badass.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
She has no doubt too. Hey back to the song,
which I mean you guys always for anybody that's never
been to a BG show out there for Brandley Gilbert, man,
you're missing something, So get those tickets out there. I
went to the Off the Rails tour last year as
his guests. We had a great time right there at
Billy Bob's Man. Just the energy and the passion you bring,
still doing this well over twenty year now, I know
it's gotta be. We mentioned the blur of how the
(06:02):
seven years have flown. But man, for you, for people
that have never been out to a Brandley Gilbert ship,
tell them what they can expect, because I know first
hand what we could expect.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Oh, buddy. Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
We went out with five Finger Dat Punch a few
years ago, man, and we kind of got the rock bug.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
We had to change our set where there wasn't much
slow stuff in there, and it was just ninety miles
an hour.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I mean, I'll be honest with you, we all got
hooked on it.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
That kind of enters you just from top to bottom. Uh,
or something I hadn't experienced in the last twenty years.
And we're still kind of running that program.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Man.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
So folks come to this show, you know, if you
want to, you want to hear a lot of the
slow stuff. That's that's more of a private listen.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Man. You got the album for that, You got time
in your truck for that. Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But if you come out to one of our shows, man,
just just be ready to bucket your seat belt, pull
your bootstraps up.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
So we go in to town.
Speaker 2 (06:54):

Head back here Brandon, Gilbert our guests talking about the
Tattoos record and plans for twenty twenty five. Let's start
with that one, my friend, the Hell that Raised Us,
And I tell you what, y'all put that rock feeling
in it too, and never look back right.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Man, you know what's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
There were a couple songs on that album that were
kind of a the tip the hat to some of
my early original stuff, and and that was one of them.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And these are songs that we just got out of
flat type on. You know, a lot of times when
we write songs these days, we have a track guy
in there and uh, you know, you're writing the pre
recorded music sometimes. Uh, you know, this is one of
the ones that started about as organically as you can.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Man.
Speaker 10 (11:37):
It was.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
It was old school, started on old six string and
and uh we we wrote the dog crap out of it.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Man. Uh, it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I think it came out of one of the Taxes
retreats if I'm not mistaken. But just an incredible soul, man,
it was. Uh, you know, that's that's one thing I
figured out getting getting to this stage of life.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Man.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Used to be when I was partying every night, I
was in the bar every night, or I was in
a motorcycle clubhouse every night.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Uh, the stories were a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
You get you get married and have a few kids,
and you gotta get a little reminiscent on some of
these tracks if you will raise a Oh man, all right, so.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
You're always on tour and you're always out there, but
there's gotta be one thing out there that might have
gone wrong while you were on tour.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
What is that? What?
Speaker 4 (12:27):
What is something that has gone completely wrong that you
did not see coming while you were on tour?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Uh? Well, buddy, if if I had a penny.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
For everything like that, I imagine, Oh my god, buses,
you know, busters have a tendency to throw a wrench
in things.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Absolutely. Uh yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I flew in from Canada one night and my bus
was on its way home. It was coming through Wyoming,
I think, and my bus driver called and he was like, hey, man,
the bus, don't file you were talking about like I
was asleep. I was like, man, leave me alone, no
play right now, you know? And he faced I mean,
I asked it, and sure enough, the bus was. The
(13:11):
bus was a whole last fire, like it was definitely
on fire.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh my god. But yeah, I feel like we got
something like that almost every day. Man.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You know what the good thing is is God blessed
me with an amazing group of dudes around me and
no joke pretty much anything he used to he's, you know,
the world's throwing our way.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
We've we've taken care of it, that's right. You know.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Off that record too, we mentioned all the great collaborations
Ashley Cook and Justin Moore, you know Bradley, but I
mean the great Gary of Box that goes without saying
no doubt about it, radscal Flats one half there. God
is a country. You gotta know all about this song.
What a great to do at their love it, but.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I appreciate it. And Gary is literally one of my
favorite people on this planet. I didn't know what to
think about Gary when when I first met him. We
were playing a NASCAR race. They were singing the anthem
and we had a show in the infield, and I'll
never forget. We were at the driver's meeting and I
walked in and you know, he had the spiky hair
and this is you know, this is in Rascal Flats
(14:11):
prime time.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
And I was like, all right, well, I don't know
what to think of this guy.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
And I remember seeing he had a dip in and
I was like, all right, well that's one for the
home team, you know. To this guy walked up to
one of the drivers, walked up to him and said,
uh something to the effect of man of y'all rascal flats,
and he said yeah, and all the wise guy was
being a dickmat he said, uh, man, I think I
got one of y'all.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
C DSUs rolling around the floor board of my truck.
It's a Burt copy. And I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
And I remember looking at Gary and then looking at
him and looking at Gary and looking at him, and
I said, man, however he responds to this will determine
whether or not I love him or hate him for the.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Rest of my life. And he literally, when I tell
you this is a no joke.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
He spit an inch from that dude's little race boot
and he looked a him dead night. He said, that's
real cute outfits he got on there. Boy, And I mean, buddy,
I like to have lost it. So I've I've loved
him ever since. Man, And that guy, he's one of
a couple of people in my life that I will
(15:12):
tell him sometimes I can't talk to him two days
in a row just because my face hurts.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
And my stomach hurts.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
You can't quit laughing at this dude, and people don't.
I don't think people know that about Gary Labos. They
know he's one of the greatest vocalists we've ever had
in our genre, you know, and he can, he's he's
registers all over the place. But I don't know if
people know how funny that dude is.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Man, it is. It is next level stuff, it sure is.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You know, we saw you last year too, of the
year before years of getting backwards. It was one of
those I know at the CRS event and uh man,
every time, I know it's never you never take it
for granted, but it's got to be a special moment
when you step in that center circle rightly for the
Grand Ole Opry. You just headline of show and put
on a performance, talk about in reminists for people again
and have not been, you know, to the Opry and
things like that. Specific gleaming to see you do that,
(16:01):
but you never take that for granted. Just loving the opera, right, I'm.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
An old road dog man.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Like when I say I'm a road dog, like we
beat up the highway I don't like planes.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Uh, we stay on the interstate.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
And man, there's there's a select few venues you know
around this country that just kind of have a vibe.
They got history there, Uh to the point where you know,
you kind of you're just kind of walking where you
know those before you have and it's it's a special place.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
And the Opery is probably.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Probably the top of that list that in Red Rocks,
but uh, it's just a sanctity there.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Man.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
There's a level of respect that you have, you know
when you walk inside that circle. And I don't know
that you know, early on in my career, I knew
exactly how special it was, but you know, through the years,
you know, you got to realize. Man, the big ones
came through here and there have been some some amazing
(17:03):
performances Craig Morgan. The most powerful thing I've ever seen
on stage happened at the Opry and that was all
night we were playing.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I think it was me and Justin Moore and Craig
Morgan and Craig sang.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
That song about his son, and man, I've never seen
anything like that in my life. It was it was
it humbled me in me different ways and it's just
a special place, man. There's it's it's hard to explain,
but it's kind of like my guitar player. He said
this about the operation, and he said it about Red Rocks.
He said, Man, a picture won't do it justice, and
(17:40):
a memory doesn't do it justice.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You just have to be there, That's the truth. You
have to look at it and sit there and really
take it all in and understand what that's all about too.
And I actually got to go was telling you before
the show a little bit, got to go to the
Rhyme for the first time and actually watch another kick
ass dude out there, Chase Matthew, kind of do the
twenty first. So the opera began the Rhyman Auditorium. Look
(18:02):
look what happened now, Like I said, they've turned it
into one hell of a venue. And uh, what a
great event to that was for Chase Matthew out there too,
and all the great folks they put that on. Well,
time for a song with true meaning. Here on the
backstage past KYB in ninety eight point one, your Bay
Area Broadcasting Network, and out there in Tallas again our

and our guest always a great, great, great friend of
the show, Brenton Gilbert, here too again. Tattoos and my
friend you talked about this too earlier came out. We
(23:00):
had a little discussion last year, but man, this song
really it was the epitome of country music and the
work you did on this one, my friend, was just
it was so much beyond everything out there when it
comes to writing and lyrically what it meant and everybody,
because I know again that ninety five percent of the world,
if not more, have got meaningful Tattoos and my friend
you told a story unlike any other out there.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, I appreciate it. Brother, I'd tell you the story
behind that song is pretty funny. I just we do
this this writing re street in Texas, and we got
down there and I had just gotten I forget which
one it was, but I just got a pretty big.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Piece done. So I was soaring everything.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
And I got up there and I remember everybody looking
at it, and everybody got excited. In the first room
I went to with every single group, they were wanting
to write a tattoo song. And I told every one
of them, I was like, I'm not writing a tattoo song.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
They suck.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Anytime I've ever heard somebody write a tattoo song, it's
like get me, I'm cool type thing like, and they're awful.
I hate them, so I'm not right the tattoo song. Well,
I said that to the last group, a Randy Montana.
I'm sure y'all know Randy. He is an absolute trick,
but uh, he goes. You know, when I said, did
(24:16):
every tattoo the testoo song I've ever heard sucks? He said, well,
why don't you make it your job to make sure
this one doesn't suck?
Speaker 3 (24:25):
All right?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Fair enough, let's do it, and uh, you know, gip
two three hours ahead, and we had something that I'm extremely,
extremely proud of.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
All Right, So, if you have the opportunity to collaborate
with any artists that you've never got to collaborate with
or you never got to meet, who would you like
to meet and collaborate.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
With Dead or Alive?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Dead are Alive?
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Probably Johnny cash Man or the original Letergy the og Yep.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yeah, Hey, I love last year. You don't talking about
a song with energy and Brandley y'all. Y'all killed it
with that, and of course it was the first one
that led to the Tattoos record. On that same record,
I got to watch you do it the off the
Rails and man, when that hit you guys came on stage,
like I said, into a show, the smoke, the lights,
everything out there too. But man, it just brings so
(25:20):
much electricity to the stage and it's just out there
and it's like, again, it really depicts what the song
is about. Off the Rails and you're on that fast
train in life and you better, you know, get on
or it's gonna leave you behind. Talk about this, how
much fun that is to perform that in front of
a live crowd, because that became one of your your
highest streaming songs last year in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
It did, man, and I think that had a lot
to do in the fact that we put it up
for It was the opener, It was the show opener. Yeah, man,
there it does have a little bit of energy. What's
crazy is I've had that song for a while. We
wrote that song at my farm in Alabama, and I
sold it in twenty twenty, so we've had that song
for years. We just it never found a home on
an album. You know, We've got songs like that. It
(26:01):
happens as a writer a lot of times, you know,
a song will beat another one for a record, not
because it's better, just because it fits, you know, it
fits the album better. And All three M's was one
of those that had just kind of been waiting on
this moment man.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
And and uh, you know, I played the old demo
for a couple of people. We were all bothering our heads.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
On the end of it, and I was like, Man,
if we take that in the studio, we can crack
that up a notch and really turn it into something.
And man, it's one of those that when you feel
the intro for it. You know, it's like we're fit
to go now, are on?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
It's a.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Sure And we'll go back to a couple of the
old school Beg songs out there too. But man, y'all,
y'all did a kick ass version of this one too.
You read me my rights? Now, where did this come from?
I'm gonna ask you about this because that's another one.
It makes you want to go to prison, right.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I don't know if there's anything on this planet that
can make me want to go to prison. I don't
like jail, you know, I know I won't farewell in prison.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
But no, that's that song is one of those.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And I say this now, man, and uh, knowing what
I know now, I'm careful not to write songs about
things that I hadn't been through or been right next
to somebody that that is gone through it.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
But that one is still one I stand behind to
this day. Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
You know, if a man's ever hit a woman in
front of me, my my head of security right here
and anybody you know out here.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
On the road to tell you if that happens, uh,
he's gonna have to hit me too.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
And and you know, somebody were to break into my
house especially now with with you know, my wife and babies.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I'm from Georgia and uh yeah, we don't play all that.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
So it's just about a couple of scenarios man, that
God forbid they go sideways. But you know, it's it's
one of those things where if that were to happen,
you know, you stand on business and you take your lasts.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I reckon.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
And run along those same lines, my friend, Uh, why
don't we just take it outside? We gotta go a
little blackstory of that one too.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Right there, you go, all right to take it outside? Man,
I really wrote and this this is hilarious that it
worked out like this.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
But I was like, man, if people only understood that
there's only a couple of reasons people ever fight inside
during the show, and this is this is legitimate, man,
think about it. The only reason you ever fight inside
during the show's you want attention, right, It's like you know,
(28:39):
and well, I can't stand about it. The main reason
I think people fight during the show and inside it
is to impress people one, but two, you know, somebody's
gonna break it up before you get your asked with.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
So I literally wrote the song to.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Tell people that, hey, if you want to fight, like,
if you really want to fight, like I'm a fan
of I like a good fight as much as anybody.
I promise, if I see one breakout in the back,
I'm gonna try my best to get as close as
I can do it so I can see what's happened.
But man, if somebody really wants to go, you know,
and run to fade, do it in the parking lot.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Wait, nobody gonna break it up, man, you know. So
I was like, I had this idea, and I was like,
if I put that in a song, people will stop
fighting during the show. It didn't the exact opposite. I'd
be the exact opposite.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
It's like the intro to that song comes on and
you see old Bubba in the front row who's been
you know, he had it in his mind when he
got to the show that I'm gonna meet me a
girl tonight, and you see him go from that to man,
I'm fit to whip somebody's ass.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Like, hey, speaking of reminiscent too, I know it never
gets old. My friend, uh bottoms up has to be
this at one of the top out there to you guys,
keep it on the set list. Obviously, one of your
biggest hits in your career too. But just what a
fun song that people love to kind of cut up
and get out on a Friday night and Saturday nights.
Just get out there after a hard work week and
(30:05):
go to a concert and things like that. Can still
hear that one years later, drink, have a good time
and just enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Right absolutely, man, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
And people ask me sometimes, like, if you don't drink anymore,
why are you singing a drinking song? Cuz I drank
enough when I did drink to earn my drinking stripe
for the rest of my life, you know, I mean,
I'd rite drinking, So there's things drinking those till the
day I die.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
I earned it, no doubt too. Hey, I love it
too because it never gets old and always probably a
crowd favorite out there too at the same time, and
you guys have fun with it, but uh, kick it
in the sticks, and I mean, that's just got to
be one right there too that everybody knows coming from backwoods,
coming from country, things like that. Always things are very
much unpredicted out there too. But what a fun song, right, oh, absolutely, man.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
And you know I do feel like when we put
that song out that was kind of some uncharted territory,
you know. But there have been some rock you know
themes in country music before, but that I don't remember
one before that one. It went like that, you know
what I mean. It kind of just went no holes,
bar pedal to the floor, you know, and it kind
(31:14):
of that was one of our grassroots songs that you know,
zero radio playing.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
That song was the banger Man, and folks have known it.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Since the day we put it out, and you know,
to this day, we always keep it at the front
of the set because it's one of those that just
kind of kicks you in geared and lets you know,
all right, we're in here now.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Hey, you know what. Crs Kat and I were there
and I did get my hot chicken. I went back
to my favorite place, so I had Hady Bees on
Broadway there, had a good time with it. Always fun
to get those tenders because man, with the bread underneath it,
the three tenders are just a really good size too.
And then I got the collar greens because I'm having
to eat more greens just according to the doctor right
now too, trying to get that cholesterol back under control,
(31:54):
which I'm doing I'm doing good back in the gym,
which is always good there. But uh, manh hot Chicken,
that's my go to places. Where's yours for Nashville Hot chicken?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Buddy? Let's see that's that's a tough one. Man. When
I don't can you? You probably know this. I don't
spend a whole lot of time in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Uh, I go to right and usually one we write,
you know, we're door Dashing Hattie Bees.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Yeah, all right, I'm right there with you. Then, Budy,
that's the only one I know of.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Hey, door Dash is good to you. Try a bunch
of different things. I didn't get to Bar Taco this time.
People were telling me Bar Taco was really good, so
I gotta I gotta try that one at some point,
as far as like all the different tacos they make
and the different ingredients they put with them, So I
gotta you get to that Bar Taco. We actually spent
some time there too with uh the five point Pizza
was really good out there, so.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Oh yeah, hey man, I will tell you there's a
place called the Velvet Taco.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
This banging, but yeah, that Velvet Taco is from some
pretty it means.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Business be it does too, no doubt. Hey, if you've
never become a working musician, Uh, what other career path
would you follow?
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Oh but that's a tough one. But I know the answer.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Well one, you know, I was one of those people
that I went to college for my parents, right, just
to kind of gotta make them happy.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
I knew the whole time that I was going to
chase music and trying to make a living out of it.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
But uh, you know, at first I got to college
and I changed my major like four times. It was
like one, I like guns and stuff, like maybe I
need to be in you know, law enforcement. Maybe I
ought to try criminal justice. And then I looked at
myself and my friends and our records and I was like,
well that'll never work. So uh you know, then I
(33:40):
was like, man, you know, I had a common had
a couple of my buddies like, man, people always calling
you a problems and stuff, They like you ought to
try like counseling, and I was like, all right, you know,
maybe they went to a couple of classes, and in
the back of my mind, I was like, man, this
is this is not good. I'm gonna be responsible for
more divorce than social media, So it was like, all right,
(34:01):
we're going back up and punt. And I think, honestly
I probably would have landed on coaching. That is the
one thing I was doing before I went music full
time that I really was enjoying and uh got something
out of if I'm the problem was you know, this
is when I was when I was drinking, and it
is not good to be a drunk coach in a
(34:22):
small pass like I graduated with sixty six people.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
They know.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
It's not no. And I'm like him, I kind of
like I said, give up that drinking too. At the
same time, but you know what's saying, Hey, if you
if that's your thing, do irre responsible. We always say
too at the same time, but hey, you know what,
be able to tell a story when you wake up
the next day, if you get a chance.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
To do that, that ain't no joke.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Yeah, and Hi drink too. At the same time. The
record tattoos across all the digital streaming platforms, and of
course check out the tour on Going Right Now too,
which it always does. He's a road dog. He hits
it out there hard than any one I know. Brandley
Gilbert dot Com of course out there KYBN ninety eight
point one, your big area broadcast the network, and our
friends at kk t C, True Country ninety nine point ninety,

and the babies.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I appreciate y'all.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Congratulations to another great another Gilbert in that household. How's
that baby doing, by the way, that new baby, how they.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Doing, budd he is. He's a little chunk. You know.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
He came out a little light so uh, you know,
we got him on the protein and the crea team
and everything.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
You know. He's uh, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
But now, Joe, he's up to fifteen pounds right out
about five months, and man, he's the best baby we've had.
He sleeps good and that's about all he does is sleep,
beating and you know the other stuff. But Uh, he
does have a little bit of a temper. He got
that from his mama. I'm one hundred percent positive, you know.
But he when he gets hunger, he'll let you know.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
He'll let you know, no doubt. Hey, mine's going on five.
And what's what's kind of cool is we'll get to
see her in T ball down It's actually pretty cool
being a T ball coach.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
So it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
So, you know what, I'm just terrified though, because it's
a little it's a little peak into what it's going
to be when they're in sports, when they get older.
And you know when you hear nightmares about these parents
that you know they kind of take things a little
too serious. My son was an eight U this year
and I showed up in the other teams like warming
(36:41):
up in the outfield, and the parents are like already jawing.
And I told her buddy, I was like, man, this
is bad news. Like I don't I don't need I
need to watch these things from a webcam.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
You know, I don't need to be here. I did
almost get kicked out of an eight U game this year.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Well I'm gonna try to do that. She's got a
game here in a few minutes on these Tuesdays and Fridays,
and we'll try to just be a calm coach and
just understand or teach them the basics and the fundamentals
of just t ball. Now when you get up to
high school, she's playing softball. If she still sticks with it,
then I can be a little bit more critical all
that too, But I want to try to keep my
my my face covered because and you never know who's
(37:21):
watching out there too. When it comes to all the
great people that make it possible. My friend, we appreciate
you so much. A best of luck on that West
coast out there the rest of the tour, get home
safe and give our love and our best of the family.
