You never know, he might make a cameo appearance. We'd
love to have him. He came out with a big
hit called Yes in two thousand. He's still doing it.
He never looked back. Chad Brock joining us here on
the Backstage Pass. Chad, how you doing, brother?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I am good Man, back in the game, back doing
another record hold nine yards, Well.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Just talk to me about that. Let's really lift some
of the glory days. And of course he asked, we're
going to play that song today. I mentioned out there
for you guys. You know when you got started in
this man, a lot's changed. You know, we talked about
twenty five years. Since that all has come out, it
don't feel like it was twenty five years. I don't
know still where time has gone these days, but you
know from where you started to where it is now
with streaming and just how so much has changed with management, licensing,
(01:23):
merch record labels, everything. Talk about just that ride when
you first got into it till now kind of what
you're seeing, I guess the pros and cons of the
music industry.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
You're right, it has changed tremendously, and I don't understand
a lot of it. These I know, these young kids
that are now getting signed to labels are doing deals
that I would never do, and I get it. I
understand why they're doing it, uh, because it's you know,
they want to have record deals. And I get that part.
When we started out, there wasn't what they called a
(01:56):
three sixty deal where they got half of everything you did.
And I'm like, that's not a cool thing to have,
especially when you're talking about touring and everything like that
to make a living. And I kind of figured out
one day that's why that all these stars out there
are getting four or five hundred bucks a ticket because
they have to make a living and they have to
share with their record labels. I'm like, oh, man, that's
(02:19):
not cool, you know. So it's definitely different, you know.
I found out the other day. I was told that
there's a pretty big artist out there that just finished
a record and he has something like one hundred and
sixteen writers on the record, and I'm thinking, why, you know,
it just tells me that it's changed so much and
everybody wants a piece of it. It's just to me,
(02:42):
there's a lot of writers out there that are great,
I mean great songwriters, and songs are not getting pitched
because everybody wants a piece. So when I started doing
this again, I told myself I was not going to
have that. You know. I'm always about the very best
song I can find, and if I can't find it,
if I can't write it, if I'll push one of
mine out just so just to have a great song
(03:05):
come in and when I put this out that we
were starting to record, Man, I don't know what happened,
but the floodgates opened up, and it's like I've got
the best songs I've ever had. I mean literally, they'll
come up to yes in a heartbeat, and yes was
one of those once in lifetime songs. But I tell you,
I've got things now that I would put up against
(03:27):
anything out there. Anything.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, when you look at so many great people kind
of doing their thing out there against the one thing
that streaming has done too is you type in somebody's name, poop,
they pop up right there too, and they kind of
go out there and you see the selection of songs,
and of course I'll say, you know the Twitter, the
Instagram and are now x whatever it is to Facebook,
all that good stuff out there too, and so many TikTok,
which I know now is probably going out of style
after the latest ruling, but who knows control that. But
(03:52):
so many things that are going on with it from
streaming side of it too, to you know, like you said,
teams and artists to work in their own socials out
there too. People times don't really get the message of
how actually hard this thing called the music industry is
I mean, you've been in it for a long time,
so you understand the grind? Is that the word you would.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Say, oh boy, you know everybody thinks that getting into
tour bus and everybody and getting down the road and
it's just glamorous is all get out? No, it's not.
You know, you beat yourself up on the road and
you rarely get the chance to see other artists because
you're out there doing your thing and if you're not
playing with somebody or only time you get to see
them is like country radio seminar and these award shows
(04:30):
and things of that nature. That's the only time you
really get a chance to see your friends on the road.
And you know, I loved it. I love it now.
I got off the road for a long time and
when my children were little, and now they're grown. One
is serving in the Navy, and my daughter is a
registered nurse, so I can go back out there and enjoy.
(04:52):
You know what I didn't do for about twelve thirteen years.
I stopped because I wanted to see my kids grow up.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
And that's a good sign to do it. So you
always you know, and I'll tell you this, You know,
being the father now to it changes perspectives when it
comes to does having a daughter being you know, almost
five years old now, wanting to be there for those
important young years of their life because between three and six,
three and seven, that's always those key important years and
when like I said, they're formulating things in their heads
using all those those brain cells and the brain power
(05:21):
to put two and two together, and it's a pretty
cool feeling, like you said, to be a dad. You know,
we talked about that grind too at the same time,
and then how hard people do it? But you know,
it's hard to do it without even a great team.
And like you said, everybody wants a little piece of
this and that and some of the things that go
on behind it too. But I'll tell you without some people,
you know, like you said, working, Yeah, I'll go it
out their publicists and managers and people that do it
(05:41):
on a daily basis, it really is key to have
one of those teams behind you, right, Oh.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
It absolutely is. And I've I've got a great team
behind us now. In fact, the whole social media thing
I'm having to learn, so I've been engulfing myself in
social media. But the good thing is. I've got two
young ladies that are, you know, just out of Belmont
and they now work at the label, and they are
social media freaks. They can do it anything I want.
(06:06):
You know, We'll go up and cut some stuff and
I'll cut a bunch of social media. And they're starting
to put it out now on you know, on Chad
Rock Music on Facebook, and Chadbrock Music on all kind
of stuff on Instagram and and X and all kinds
of stuff like that. They do it. Thank god, I'm learning,
you know, I'm learning. And for me it's like when
(06:26):
we got in this business, or when I did my
first record came out in ninety eight, I wasn't social media.
You know. We had radio. We went to radio, We
had articles, and we try to do whatever we could.
If we got on TV, it was great. We did videos,
of course. But nowadays you're putting out shorts, You're putting
out everything, any anything and everything you can put out
(06:48):
just to grab those folks.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, you mentioned that first record there, ninety eight, the
self titled album. Of course, Chad Brock out there too.
We're gonna play with her a little bit, uh called
ordinary Life. But let's first just to talk about just
a body of work and just those catalog of songs
from that first one. Because you mentioned radio the push
out there. There was no such thing as these social
media outlets that are out there right now. But if
you look back, what do you remember the best about
the record? Because a lot of great songs, and like
(07:13):
you said too, you sumthing it up to if it's
not worth singing, why am I going to record it?
You put a lot of songs out there, they were
meaningful to people and told great stories.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well, you know, it's kind of funny. Ordinary Life came
to me one day. I was over at mcspad and
Smith Music, my publishing company. I was writing for them
and we were looking for a ballad and all of
a sudden, Coddie Harrington and Bonnie Baker, who were writers
also at you know, mcspad and Smith, came in that
right then that day with Ordinary Life. They played it
for I was the first one to hear and I went, yeah,
(07:43):
I'll cut that. It was a no brainer. But you know,
our first single was Evangeliine and which to me was
my favorite record on that hold out. It was just
always unbelievable sound cajun. It was pure country, and it
didn't do so well, but it was my first and
people didn't know who I was. They kind of went
(08:04):
out a different way the wrestler. You know, they were
trying to keep it kind of on the DL. So
they put out this very funny little CD to everybody
that had a picture of a girl on there and
instead Evangeline. So some people thought, who is this Evangeline
is a new artist, and no, it was me. But
they just didn't put out anything. And I was like,
(08:26):
should I be offended that didn't put my face out there?
But no I wasn't. But you know, I had a
lot of program directors around the country go, man, what
a great song, Sorry didn't play it. And then Ordinary
Life spent twenty eight weeks on the chart. And finally,
now back then we had Gavin, we had R and
R and Billboard, so those are the charts. It went
(08:49):
number one and Gavin number two, and Billboard number three
and rn R. So I consider that really my first
number one record was Ordinary Life.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well, you know what, twenty eight weeks, so we're going
to have it another week on KKTC True Country ninety
nine point nine. It's Chad Brock here Take You Back
nineteen ninety eight. Boy, I'm feeling old now here. It
is ordinary life from Chad Brock Exclusive KKTC True Country

Hey all, this is Nashville recording artist Tyler Rich and
you're listening to the Backstage Pass with Brandon exclusively on
KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine in Taos, New Mexico.
Hey back to with Chad Rock Ordinary Life, one of
those first number one singles out there too, And of
course charting up there. You know, I'll tell you chat
one of the ones I loved off the self titled
alvel back in nineteen ninety eight, Lightning does the work.
(13:54):
Let's let's talk about this one too. I thought that
was a kind of fun thing and just some cool
ideas to put behind a song with a great title.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah. I wrote that with a guy named Kelly Black,
and we wrote it in ninety six and in ninety
five ninety six because when I was wrestling with WCW,
I needed a theme song. I wanted something to come
out to. So we started writing it and we got
stuck on probably one line, and three or four months
we're going through we cannot figure it out. And the
(14:22):
next thing, you know, we sent it out to a
guy who used to work for the Smothers Brothers. I mean,
I don't know if you remember the Smothers Brothers, and
he had it back in about ten minutes. It was done.
So he got a third of a writing for this
one line, which was fine with me when he finished it,
and it's the first song I've come out to every
I mean, it's still in my show in the whole
nine yards. It was a fun song, really was.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I got to ask you about that too, because I
had Christian Bush on yesterday, one half of sugar Land.
We started talking about a bunch of stuff and we
got lost in this I guess two part question here.
And it's just kind of fun as we do here
on the show. It's all about entertainment. We have fun
with the music and all the facts and everything out
there and things. But I got to ask you about this.
You mentioned WCW Wrestling exactly. I'm a huge fan. I
try to watch it as much as I can because
(15:07):
I love the choreography, I love the storytelling. Just like
a great song, there's something for everybody who buys a
ticket and comes to the show. Has shock value a
little bit like that, just that oh my god moment.
I cannot believe that just happened. Give me some of
those best memories of being a part of World Championship Wrestling,
walking out, like you said, in front of a crowd,
doing that kind of what you did as an artist
too at the same time, but from a wrestling standpoint,
(15:29):
I don't know what that feels like, and most people don't,
but for you, the relationship with World Championship Wrestling. Talk
about that from me.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Well have you have you ever heard the story behind
it all? It's kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I want to hear it.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Go for it all, right, here you go. I was
I had gotten down to about two hundred pounds when
I first moved to Nashville. I was about two sixty
and training all the time, and they didn't know what
to do with me. You know, they said, well, if
you lose weight, we like the way you sing, but
just need to lose weight, and all the kind of
stuff like this, because back then they were signing George
Strait and look alikes and Alan Jackson's the you know,
(16:00):
the skinny guys. And I'm like, I'll never be skinny.
I can't do it. I'll just never be skinny. So
I started training heavy, heavy, heavy, and I got myself
to about two fifty five and pretty stout. So one afternoon,
it was a Friday afternoon, and I was gone up
to listen to Faith Hill. She was working on her
second album at the Warner brother studio. And I just
(16:21):
went up to listen. That's all I want to do
is just listen. So I did, and next thing, you know,
the president of Warner Brothers pops in you know how
somebody grabbed your arm like we've been doing. I will
been training a bunch Jim ed I said, I couldn't
stay skinny at two hundred pounds, and I could see
the wheels were turning. And the next Monday, I get
a phone call and it's my A and R Guy
(16:44):
Warner Brothers, Danny King, and he goes, we need to
see you. Can you come in? And I went on
right down there and he said, do you know anybody
at WCW World Championship Wrestling And I said, yeah, I
happen to know. I have a friend of mine who wrestles.
He goes, we want to sign you do a deal.
We want you to do a three album deal with it,
but we want you to wrestle, and I went, you
(17:04):
want me to do what?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I was thirty one years old at the time, so
this was kind of a crazy thing for me. I
just I didn't know what I was going to do.
So that was a Monday. That Wednesday, I was in
camp in Atlanta at the power Plant and uh so
I went in. First guy. They threw me the ring.
First first guy I wrestled was a world I'm talking
about a real wrestler. The guy was unbelievable. He was
(17:31):
six five, two eighty five and he threw me around
like I was a child. I'd go outside, I'd puke
a little bit and come back in. He hit him again,
and we went at it six or seven times, and
they finally said, we'll see tomorrow. They want to see
if i'd quit. And I didn't quit, and uh, six
months later I had my first match really in front
of a crowd and it worked out great and they
(17:52):
signed me. So I had a three year deal with
with w CW. And did I like it?
Speaker 7 (17:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I couldn't stand that. I didn't want to wrestle for nothing. Man,
It's like I want I'm a singer, you know I have.
I'm an athlete, but I'm a singer. But just let
me sing. But no, And it was crazy. I mean,
there's parts of your body that you don't know hurt.
They hurt, you know, and you know how everybody you've
(18:21):
seen them hit the ropes and come off the ropes
and stuff like that. The first time you do that, no, sir,
your ribs have to get used to it. Everything's black
and blue until it's not. If you know what I mean,
your body gets used to all that stuff. But I
was in serious shape, you know, for a long time,
back and forth in Nashville, writing, doing the record, working
with you know, Buddy Cannon, Nora Wilson at the time.
(18:43):
And and I ended up in a match in ninety
six done in Orlando. We're doing the Saturday morning shows,
you know, where they would bring in a crowd and
take another crowd out and bring another crowd in, you know,
just kind of filter them through, and and I got
thrown out of the ring split that no man should
ever do. I tore everything and it retired me. And
(19:05):
I wasn't sad about it at all, you know, because
I didn't I didn't want to do that, to be honest,
But I did it because I wanted a record deal.
That goes back to show you, these kids in the
three sixty deals, they'll do whatever they can to get
a deal, and I was the same way back then.
But it was a little bit different way of doing it.
(19:26):
But I'm tell you something I reflect. I was talking
to a guy who's writing a book about Crispin Waugh.
Chris was one of the meanest individuals I've ever wrestled
in my life. He would hurt you, but they're still
studying his brain because of steroids. There was a lot
going on like that. And I looked last year and
it's sad. We lost twelve to fifteen wrestlers last year
(19:49):
that passed away on us. So it's like that every year.
You know something. Most of these guys are young, and
I didn't want to be I didn't want to do that,
you know, because they hurt so bad. And I've had, man,
I've had double hip replacements already because of it. I've
had both shoulders done. Oh yeah, I'm in great shape,
but I'm worth about nine million dollars right now.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Well, the fact that you did that too, got a
lot of learning experience and works your you know your
ass off to get where you're at in your career
to do both and that grind we talk about too,
that you never know what opportunity is gonna come and
one of the old saying one door closes a nothing
what opens to it. At the same time, you got a
little bit of best in both worlds. It leads me
to my second part of the question. This is something
that I got a credit on Christian Bush. Then he
(20:33):
came up with yesterday. See, I was complimenting his beard, Chad.
What happened? He had it full grown out, I mean,
think and everything. I made a comparison that he looked
like Triple H on the beer. He's wearing a small
cap or whatever. He come on, I didn't ask you
about all. You know, take the cap off and see
if you're you know, bald headed or whatever else. But
he kind of looked back and he said are But
(20:53):
he looked back and I look they all for the ball,
been all four too. I'm going like I said, gray
now to the much hair left on the top of
my head, but looking back at it too. I want
to ask you this, if there's somebody you could set
up a ring with in Nashville, Tennessee, and I could
kick off an inaugural Backstage Pass wrestling event and do
interviews live a location with my bus, and I had
(21:14):
Chad Brock versus someone else in country music in a match,
could pick any opponent he wanted to right now, who
would he pick? And what would be your finishing move?
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Well, my finishment was a bulldog, but that's gonna be
got of hard to do with two fake hips. I'd
have to hit him with a chair. I think that
would be I would cheat. I want to be a
bad guy. One I was too. I played a good
guy so much. I want to be a bad guy.
I like it, you know. And I don't know who
I would want to wrestle, because most of them are
a lot smaller than I am, so I don't know,
(21:46):
you know. I tell you what would be fun I
wouldn't hurt him at all. Blake Shelton, okay, because that
would be that would be funny. That would be the
funniest match on the planet, I think, because Blake six
' five and he's a lot taller than I am,
but he's just so funny to be around. I think
it would be hilarious.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I like that great comparison, and I'd still keep it.
I wouldn't do any kind of mixed tags. I'd go
guys with guys, you know, ladies with ladies on the
wrestling circuit, on the mat out there too. But and
of course I guess we progressed to a mixed tag
out there too. But that's a good choice. And Blake Shelton,
and yes, that's going to be a question. We proposed
two different artists at Country Radio Seminar where they're live
February nineteenth to twenty first, twenty twenty five. The backstage

friends at the Caden Gordon Show dot Com. Today's Best
Country Mixed back You with Chad Brock. All right, we
talked about this one. You always met. It just takes
one in music to get it done. Ordinary life was
(27:36):
definitely up there. But man, you're right about coming across
the song that changes your life, and this one sure did,
didn't it?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, it did. It was it was a lucky one,
to be honest, I had. I went to write with
two of the best riders in Nashville, Jim Collins and
Stephanie Smith. Jim wrote she thinks my tractor sexy, you know,
and Stephanie roade Ischer love for Tim and faith. So
I had some really strong riders front there, and I
had the idea and we went in and wrote it
(28:04):
in forty five minutes. And I was supposed to My
bus was leaving that night they head to California, to
Orange County, California, So the guys were leaving and I
was going to fly in on Friday morning, but I said, oh,
we got to work this up and play it. So
we did. The guys brought their acoustic stuff and we
worked it up and we had to play it that
(28:25):
We played it the first time that Friday night, and
I had to play it three times that night. People
lost their minds, and I knew I had something special.
So we took a board tape because set back then,
and I took it back to Warner Brothers because they've
been going we need a big old hit record, need
a big old hit and now I threw it on
his desk and said, there you go, there's a hit record.
And it was it. Only it spent I don't know
(28:47):
how long, and it spent three weeks and number one.
Then it stayed right there behind Leahn Womack. I hope
you dance right in there with her for weeks and
weeks and weeks, and luckily I was the number two
played Country Songs of the Year that year, behind Toby Keith.
How do You Like Me Now?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Amazing. It just takes that one baby to change the life.
I loved off the record too, with the Yes record
too young enough to Know It All? Yeah, my favorites
there and another one too that was really awesome, the
visit to talk about just different aspects of life too
when you look down at it, talk about those two
off of the record.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yes, well, young enough to Know it All was. It's
just one of those kinds of things that I took it.
I sang it because my dad always said that to me.
He said, boy, think you young enough to know it all?
Don't you?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I think so, but no I didn't. You know, so
that reminded me of my dad. Every time I sang
that song. Think about it, and when you listen to
the lyrics, it's true, the whole thing is true. But man,
the visit. When I heard that song, I knew I
had to cut it because it was such a twisty song.
At the beginning of it, you think, what a jerk.
(29:54):
This guy is a total jerk, you know, And that's
what you think when you first listen to it. But
at the end, he's not being a jerk. He's you know,
he's lost his wife. He finally found somebody new and
he's telling her, you know, this is what's going on,
you know. And and it turns out to be one
of those tier jerkers that just blows your mind when
you hear the whole song.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
It really does too. You don't want to bring up
this point too, because I love it. Chad, that finally,
and I say finally, I mean back when you were
mentioned about, you know, the Ringing Bell with Faith Hill
and lean Willmack. It's just some of those great nineties
country stars that did their things to Night Twain, Terry
Clark and just the names going on and Outriva of course,
how dominant she was. But now I'm seeing more and
it's a great thing for the industry, I think. So
get your opinion on more females doing their thing out
(30:37):
there right now. Laney Wilson, Megan Maroney, some of these
new stars kind of coming up up and rising to
the top. And uh, every dog has its day, I
will say that too, but it's a good thing for
this category, right Chad, to see these females, oh absolutely,
fee diligence right well.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I love Laney. I'm telling you, I love Laney. I
met her when she first started out. We had she
was playing in South Carolina and I was doing video
then and she came and sat down with me for
about an hour and a half just on the trailer,
you know, in the trailer we just talked, just me
and her. I got to know her real well. And
she's a sweet girl, she really is, and she blew
(31:13):
up like nobody's business. And I think that's fantastic because
she is what people want to hear. You know, there's
a lot of there's a lot of great singers out there,
and I mean a lot of great singers. A lot
more these days than there were back when I was
doing it. Well, granted you didn't hear them because of
social media and things of that nature. But man, there's
a lot of females and you know, to me goes
(31:34):
back to one thing, great music, and Landy's putting out
great music. A lot of women are putting out great music.
They really are.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
It's a great time to be a country music fan
out there too, all right. I tell you we'd get
to the nuts and bolts of it too. And they
can't wait for this new music to come out again
from Chad brock Fack. When it does, we're gonna do
a follow up show here on the backstage past. Yeah,
that music here on the show and on ninety nine
point nine True Country kk TC. I love that Florida
game shirt you're wearing, just because yeah, man, Florida looking
(32:02):
back at it to a person, know, the lister's out
there can't see it in radio LAMB, but we can't
because we see each other here on the screen looking back.
But you know, I love the fact that they been
through some head coaching changes down there. But hey, there's
nothing better than on a Saturday morning and you and
I have talked about this week. I texted the fast
football season and looking back, and it's like, man, college
football and the TV favorite drinking food in hand, all
(32:23):
the great stuff out there, family around the TV. I
love college football. You're as passionate as anybody I know.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Right, Oh, you don't know. I'm telling you. It's crazy.
I tell everybody don't watch Gator football with me because
I pace. You know, I coach too. I used to
coach as well. And it's like, so I'm up there
calling defense, I'm calling offense, I'm looking stuff. I'm I
played many years and it's like, yeah, I tend to
get a little bit loud. So I'm like, y'all, I
(32:51):
don't want to watch Gator football with me because I'll
turn it off and I'll turn it back on and
I have certain superstitions and things of that nature. And yeah,
it's I was really proud of them this year. They
were only supposed to win around one game. They had
the hardest schedule in the world, and man, they ended
up eight and five and I was very happy. And
(33:11):
next year with the recruiting they got, you know, and
the way the SEC is, it's hard to win. It's
hard to win a bunch of games in the SEC
because all you doing is playing really SEC schools. You know,
maybe three or four other ones that you're not playing,
but the bulk is SEC schools, and they are great.
They really are everyone I'm just about. And you know,
(33:33):
I hate playing Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt. I mean, they didn't have
a very good record, but they always played Florida good,
and I don't like to play There's a lot of
teams that don't like to play Missouri because Florida had
a tough time with Missouri, you know, but they didn't
play in this year. They played Vanderbilt. I believe in
being pretty bad. But you know, it's just I'm happy
(33:53):
with the quarterback. He is amazing. The freshman kid, you know, DJ,
he's amazing, and they've got a bunch of young talent
and they're going to be a force to reckon with.
They really are.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Give me a for what you gusked looking at on
the professional level too, because I love the fact that
we get a little parody in the NFL. Now you
look at the Texans, you know, trying to overcome that.
Of course, you still got the dominant Chiefs out there,
but you know, the Ravens kind of doing their thing.
The Buffalo Bill's trying to find that break to it
and bust their way to a super Bowl at least
kind of find that opening too. And then you look
at the Detroit Lions, you know, getting the number one
seed there too, and of course the Minnesota Vikings playing
(34:28):
with a quarterback nobody, nobody thought would do well this season.
He won fourteen games, which is a lot for a while.
Come team kind of super Bowl prediction there to NFC AFC.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
What you got Lions, It's got to be Lions and Bills,
you know, truly, the Lions are just unbelievable. They've won
so many games with so many people injury reserve, you know.
And it's coaching, and I love the way he coaches.
I love the guys that play for him. They want
(34:57):
to win. You don't hear a lot about, you know,
people getting in trouble in Detroit because I believe they
want to win, they want to do great. I don't
believe that the Sheets can get back to it again.
I may be wrong. You just never know. They play
great ball when they're playing in the you know, in
the next level. But man, the Bills are hot. You know,
(35:19):
the Bills are hot. They really are playing.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Some ball right now too. And I think I'm with
you that that that moxie on Josh Allen too, the
way he's uh all cylinders at quarterback position. They've got
a receiver now to to step up the way they've
got Dalptin Kincaid and of course Amari Cooper. And you
can run the football with James Cook and you got
solid offensive line and one of the best football And
it's always to me it starts and ends, and it's
one in the trenches when it comes to offensive and
(35:42):
defensive right to getting.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Off the ball.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
And I love the game so much. Man. I do
high school football broadcast here in my area too at
the same time. And like I said, well, once it's
in your DNA, you're around it for.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah. You know, I've I've got a really good friend
of mine who was an All American in high school,
All American in Florida, and well he was a pro
bowler named Scott Brantley. And Scott I talked to his
sister yesterday. Scott has got what got what they call
DTE and he I don't know how many concussions Scott
got over the years, but he's now he can't walk
(36:16):
hardly in the whole nine yards. He's we don't know
how long Scott's going to be around. And the technology
they've got coming out these days, with helmets and stuff
like that. You know, I wonder why how in the
world I made it through because I hit people head
on all the time. Maybe that's what's wrong with me.
But people like Scott, you know, he got hurt his
senior year of high school, I mean, of college and
(36:40):
should have never played another down. And he played ten
years with the Bucks and now he's just not able
to do anything. I mean, it's like he has onset
dementia and stuff like that. So you know, those guys
put their bodies through a lot, you know, and later on,
I know, I mean, I'm I'm sixty one years old
now and it's like a clam in the best shape
(37:01):
of my life. But when it comes to your joints
and stuff like that. There, if you don't watch yourself,
you can you can be pretty bad later on in life.
You got to really get a hold of it.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Here, you do, no doubt, And like you said, it's
it pays to go man. Like you said, work out
the best you can do. I see some of the
guys older than me running circles around people in that
gym now too that I go to down here too,
and they just say they stay up there, they'll paint.
I'm like you man, three four or five days a week,
I'll get up at four o'clock in the morning, I'm
there by five, work out till six, get a good
hour in for all facets of it. And I tell people,
(37:32):
because you know, one of the things where I'm getting
at with this chat is self care becomes so much
of its ingredient in the music industry too, because some
people actually leave that behind and they forget about self care, you.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Know what, one of the things that we used to do.
And I'm just like everybody else out there, you know,
everybody pretty much drink on the road. You know. In
my rider, you get a bottle of Crown, a couple
of cases of Cores Light. And I'm watching a lot
of people that just don't drink anymore. I don't. I mean,
it's very rare, you know, And and that's that's a
huge thing for a lot of people. They've just stopped
(38:04):
and their health has gotten better, and all the kind
of stuff like that, and and being able to eat right.
And we're finding out now a lot of things that
we were told way back when are not good, you know,
and you shouldn't be you shouldn't eat them the process,
sugar and stuff like that, So try to stay away
from that. But I love sweet some sweet stuff, you know,
And and and doctor peppery is one of my m
(38:27):
So I'm trying to cut back, you know. And I'm
down to probably I'm down lower than I've ever been
was since high school, probably on way about two twenty.
I hadn't seen that since birth, to be.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Honest, I need to get back to that mark still
at two fifty five. But you know what, I put
on some some good muscle now too. Of course, muscle
weighs more than you know. Oh yeah, that's the biggest
thing is I'm trying to but I feel leaner. Chat
I've been doing a lot of plio, a little bit
of cardio and a mix with it. They call them
these these hit classes, high intensity interval training. You've probably
(38:59):
heard of that too.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
But can't but you go ahead and do it.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
It's been good for me. But I'll tell you what.
There's one on a Friday that my instructor does. Now
it's actually called tough tread. Have you heard of that one?
Speaker 1 (39:11):
No, but you go ahead and do it. He thinks.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
He takes a treadmill and you're once you get on it,
you're I mean, you get off, but the thing keeps
running the entire time. And so you're doing your climbing
or you're running on the treadmill. And then when you dismount,
you actually get off and you have a pair of
free weights in your hand, and you do your flies,
You do your like I said, your lateral raised, you
do your bicyp curls.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
You get so they're trying to kill you. Then tough tread, Yes, yeah,
I got you. The one of the most beautiful things
I've ever heard is like when I had my first
hip or placement, the daughtor told me, hey, no more running,
and I went, okay, you know, and then I had
my last one in January of last year, and it's like,
I can't run, I have to watch everything I do,
(39:53):
but I don't hurt anymore. And that's the beauty of it.
I don't hurt, and you go through years years of hurting.
It's like, wow, man, you got to get to get
it fixed, and so I did, and I don't hurt
it at all anymore.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
I'm glad you're living that life painful because they're still
You're right some mornings. I'll keep doing it. I'll keep
doing it for you. I'll text you how my progress is.
Uh yeah, all that too. But for had no doubt
about it. All right. When it comes to this, I
always have like two, two or three. Well, I'll say
two at least cheap days throughout the week of you said,
here is doctor pepper. I gave up soda, but I
still have a problem with pizza. It's just a pizza.
It's tough.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
What toppings go on to Chad Brock pizza all meat
and banana peppers. Yeah, I'm a carnivor.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
He's a carnivore too, all right. In Nashville, I gotta
try this place called Bar Taco and hearing it's really
good out there too, for any kind of taco that
you want. But went in I guess went in town.
You mentioned you going back there later this month to
lay down some vocals. Where do you like to kind
of go eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Well, there's my favorite restaurant, and it's been that way
for years. Place called Mojo's or is Broadway brew House.
They have the very best wings I've ever had in
my life. I mean they're huge, they are grilled. They're
putting this sauce that would just make the tongue slap
the back of your head. I'm telling you, it's the
best I've ever had. I cannot find them anywhere but
Nashville at Mojo's.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Mojo's so there it is. Put it on the list
right there. We're going to Mojo's for Country Radio Seminar

He never looked back. Chad Brock joining us here on
the Backstage Pass. Chad, how you doing, brother?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I am good Man, back in the game, back doing
another record hold nine yards, Well.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Just talk to me about that. Let's really lift some
of the glory days. And of course he asked, we're
going to play that song today. I mentioned out there
for you guys. You know when you got started in
this man, a lot's changed. You know, we talked about
twenty five years. Since that all has come out, it
don't feel like it was twenty five years. I don't
know still where time has gone these days, but you
know from where you started to where it is now
with streaming and just how so much has changed with management, licensing,
(01:23):
merch record labels, everything. Talk about just that ride when
you first got into it till now kind of what
you're seeing, I guess the pros and cons of the
music industry.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
You're right, it has changed tremendously, and I don't understand
a lot of it. These I know, these young kids
that are now getting signed to labels are doing deals
that I would never do, and I get it. I
understand why they're doing it, uh, because it's you know,
they want to have record deals. And I get that part.
When we started out, there wasn't what they called a
(01:56):
three sixty deal where they got half of everything you did.
And I'm like, that's not a cool thing to have,
especially when you're talking about touring and everything like that
to make a living. And I kind of figured out
one day that's why that all these stars out there
are getting four or five hundred bucks a ticket because
they have to make a living and they have to
share with their record labels. I'm like, oh, man, that's
(02:19):
not cool, you know. So it's definitely different, you know.
I found out the other day. I was told that
there's a pretty big artist out there that just finished
a record and he has something like one hundred and
sixteen writers on the record, and I'm thinking, why, you know,
it just tells me that it's changed so much and
everybody wants a piece of it. It's just to me,
(02:42):
there's a lot of writers out there that are great,
I mean great songwriters, and songs are not getting pitched
because everybody wants a piece. So when I started doing
this again, I told myself I was not going to
have that. You know. I'm always about the very best
song I can find, and if I can't find it,
if I can't write it, if I'll push one of
mine out just so just to have a great song
(03:05):
come in and when I put this out that we
were starting to record, Man, I don't know what happened,
but the floodgates opened up, and it's like I've got
the best songs I've ever had. I mean literally, they'll
come up to yes in a heartbeat, and yes was
one of those once in lifetime songs. But I tell you,
I've got things now that I would put up against
(03:27):
anything out there. Anything.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, when you look at so many great people kind
of doing their thing out there against the one thing
that streaming has done too is you type in somebody's name, poop,
they pop up right there too, and they kind of
go out there and you see the selection of songs,
and of course I'll say, you know the Twitter, the
Instagram and are now x whatever it is to Facebook,
all that good stuff out there too, and so many TikTok,
which I know now is probably going out of style
after the latest ruling, but who knows control that. But
(03:52):
so many things that are going on with it from
streaming side of it too, to you know, like you said,
teams and artists to work in their own socials out
there too. People times don't really get the message of
how actually hard this thing called the music industry is
I mean, you've been in it for a long time,
so you understand the grind? Is that the word you would.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Say, oh boy, you know everybody thinks that getting into
tour bus and everybody and getting down the road and
it's just glamorous is all get out? No, it's not.
You know, you beat yourself up on the road and
you rarely get the chance to see other artists because
you're out there doing your thing and if you're not
playing with somebody or only time you get to see
them is like country radio seminar and these award shows
(04:30):
and things of that nature. That's the only time you
really get a chance to see your friends on the road.
And you know, I loved it. I love it now.
I got off the road for a long time and
when my children were little, and now they're grown. One
is serving in the Navy, and my daughter is a
registered nurse, so I can go back out there and enjoy.
(04:52):
You know what I didn't do for about twelve thirteen years.
I stopped because I wanted to see my kids grow up.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
And that's a good sign to do it. So you
always you know, and I'll tell you this, You know,
being the father now to it changes perspectives when it
comes to does having a daughter being you know, almost
five years old now, wanting to be there for those
important young years of their life because between three and six,
three and seven, that's always those key important years and
when like I said, they're formulating things in their heads
using all those those brain cells and the brain power
(05:21):
to put two and two together, and it's a pretty
cool feeling, like you said, to be a dad. You know,
we talked about that grind too at the same time,
and then how hard people do it? But you know,
it's hard to do it without even a great team.
And like you said, everybody wants a little piece of
this and that and some of the things that go
on behind it too. But I'll tell you without some people,
you know, like you said, working, Yeah, I'll go it
out their publicists and managers and people that do it
(05:41):
on a daily basis, it really is key to have
one of those teams behind you, right, Oh.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
It absolutely is. And I've I've got a great team
behind us now. In fact, the whole social media thing
I'm having to learn, so I've been engulfing myself in
social media. But the good thing is. I've got two
young ladies that are, you know, just out of Belmont
and they now work at the label, and they are
social media freaks. They can do it anything I want.
(06:06):
You know, We'll go up and cut some stuff and
I'll cut a bunch of social media. And they're starting
to put it out now on you know, on Chad
Rock Music on Facebook, and Chadbrock Music on all kind
of stuff on Instagram and and X and all kinds
of stuff like that. They do it. Thank god, I'm learning,
you know, I'm learning. And for me it's like when
(06:26):
we got in this business, or when I did my
first record came out in ninety eight, I wasn't social media.
You know. We had radio. We went to radio, We
had articles, and we try to do whatever we could.
If we got on TV, it was great. We did videos,
of course. But nowadays you're putting out shorts, You're putting
out everything, any anything and everything you can put out
(06:48):
just to grab those folks.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, you mentioned that first record there, ninety eight, the
self titled album. Of course, Chad Brock out there too.
We're gonna play with her a little bit, uh called
ordinary Life. But let's first just to talk about just
a body of work and just those catalog of songs
from that first one. Because you mentioned radio the push
out there. There was no such thing as these social
media outlets that are out there right now. But if
you look back, what do you remember the best about
the record? Because a lot of great songs, and like
(07:13):
you said too, you sumthing it up to if it's
not worth singing, why am I going to record it?
You put a lot of songs out there, they were
meaningful to people and told great stories.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well, you know, it's kind of funny. Ordinary Life came
to me one day. I was over at mcspad and
Smith Music, my publishing company. I was writing for them
and we were looking for a ballad and all of
a sudden, Coddie Harrington and Bonnie Baker, who were writers
also at you know, mcspad and Smith, came in that
right then that day with Ordinary Life. They played it
for I was the first one to hear and I went, yeah,
(07:43):
I'll cut that. It was a no brainer. But you know,
our first single was Evangeliine and which to me was
my favorite record on that hold out. It was just
always unbelievable sound cajun. It was pure country, and it
didn't do so well, but it was my first and
people didn't know who I was. They kind of went
(08:04):
out a different way the wrestler. You know, they were
trying to keep it kind of on the DL. So
they put out this very funny little CD to everybody
that had a picture of a girl on there and
instead Evangeline. So some people thought, who is this Evangeline
is a new artist, and no, it was me. But
they just didn't put out anything. And I was like,
(08:26):
should I be offended that didn't put my face out there?
But no I wasn't. But you know, I had a
lot of program directors around the country go, man, what
a great song, Sorry didn't play it. And then Ordinary
Life spent twenty eight weeks on the chart. And finally,
now back then we had Gavin, we had R and
R and Billboard, so those are the charts. It went
(08:49):
number one and Gavin number two, and Billboard number three
and rn R. So I consider that really my first
number one record was Ordinary Life.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well, you know what, twenty eight weeks, so we're going
to have it another week on KKTC True Country ninety
nine point nine. It's Chad Brock here Take You Back
nineteen ninety eight. Boy, I'm feeling old now here. It
is ordinary life from Chad Brock Exclusive KKTC True Country

Hey all, this is Nashville recording artist Tyler Rich and
you're listening to the Backstage Pass with Brandon exclusively on
KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine in Taos, New Mexico.
Hey back to with Chad Rock Ordinary Life, one of
those first number one singles out there too, And of
course charting up there. You know, I'll tell you chat
one of the ones I loved off the self titled
alvel back in nineteen ninety eight, Lightning does the work.
(13:54):
Let's let's talk about this one too. I thought that
was a kind of fun thing and just some cool
ideas to put behind a song with a great title.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah. I wrote that with a guy named Kelly Black,
and we wrote it in ninety six and in ninety
five ninety six because when I was wrestling with WCW,
I needed a theme song. I wanted something to come
out to. So we started writing it and we got
stuck on probably one line, and three or four months
we're going through we cannot figure it out. And the
(14:22):
next thing, you know, we sent it out to a
guy who used to work for the Smothers Brothers. I mean,
I don't know if you remember the Smothers Brothers, and
he had it back in about ten minutes. It was done.
So he got a third of a writing for this
one line, which was fine with me when he finished it,
and it's the first song I've come out to every
I mean, it's still in my show in the whole
nine yards. It was a fun song, really was.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I got to ask you about that too, because I
had Christian Bush on yesterday, one half of sugar Land.
We started talking about a bunch of stuff and we
got lost in this I guess two part question here.
And it's just kind of fun as we do here
on the show. It's all about entertainment. We have fun
with the music and all the facts and everything out
there and things. But I got to ask you about this.
You mentioned WCW Wrestling exactly. I'm a huge fan. I
try to watch it as much as I can because
(15:07):
I love the choreography, I love the storytelling. Just like
a great song, there's something for everybody who buys a
ticket and comes to the show. Has shock value a
little bit like that, just that oh my god moment.
I cannot believe that just happened. Give me some of
those best memories of being a part of World Championship Wrestling,
walking out, like you said, in front of a crowd,
doing that kind of what you did as an artist
too at the same time, but from a wrestling standpoint,
(15:29):
I don't know what that feels like, and most people don't,
but for you, the relationship with World Championship Wrestling. Talk
about that from me.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Well have you have you ever heard the story behind
it all? It's kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I want to hear it.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Go for it all, right, here you go. I was
I had gotten down to about two hundred pounds when
I first moved to Nashville. I was about two sixty
and training all the time, and they didn't know what
to do with me. You know, they said, well, if
you lose weight, we like the way you sing, but
just need to lose weight, and all the kind of
stuff like this, because back then they were signing George
Strait and look alikes and Alan Jackson's the you know,
(16:00):
the skinny guys. And I'm like, I'll never be skinny.
I can't do it. I'll just never be skinny. So
I started training heavy, heavy, heavy, and I got myself
to about two fifty five and pretty stout. So one afternoon,
it was a Friday afternoon, and I was gone up
to listen to Faith Hill. She was working on her
second album at the Warner brother studio. And I just
(16:21):
went up to listen. That's all I want to do
is just listen. So I did, and next thing, you know,
the president of Warner Brothers pops in you know how
somebody grabbed your arm like we've been doing. I will
been training a bunch Jim ed I said, I couldn't
stay skinny at two hundred pounds, and I could see
the wheels were turning. And the next Monday, I get
a phone call and it's my A and R Guy
(16:44):
Warner Brothers, Danny King, and he goes, we need to
see you. Can you come in? And I went on
right down there and he said, do you know anybody
at WCW World Championship Wrestling And I said, yeah, I
happen to know. I have a friend of mine who wrestles.
He goes, we want to sign you do a deal.
We want you to do a three album deal with it,
but we want you to wrestle, and I went, you
(17:04):
want me to do what?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I was thirty one years old at the time, so
this was kind of a crazy thing for me. I
just I didn't know what I was going to do.
So that was a Monday. That Wednesday, I was in
camp in Atlanta at the power Plant and uh so
I went in. First guy. They threw me the ring.
First first guy I wrestled was a world I'm talking
about a real wrestler. The guy was unbelievable. He was
(17:31):
six five, two eighty five and he threw me around
like I was a child. I'd go outside, I'd puke
a little bit and come back in. He hit him again,
and we went at it six or seven times, and
they finally said, we'll see tomorrow. They want to see
if i'd quit. And I didn't quit, and uh, six
months later I had my first match really in front
of a crowd and it worked out great and they
(17:52):
signed me. So I had a three year deal with
with w CW. And did I like it?
Speaker 7 (17:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I couldn't stand that. I didn't want to wrestle for nothing. Man,
It's like I want I'm a singer, you know I have.
I'm an athlete, but I'm a singer. But just let
me sing. But no, And it was crazy. I mean,
there's parts of your body that you don't know hurt.
They hurt, you know, and you know how everybody you've
(18:21):
seen them hit the ropes and come off the ropes
and stuff like that. The first time you do that, no, sir,
your ribs have to get used to it. Everything's black
and blue until it's not. If you know what I mean,
your body gets used to all that stuff. But I
was in serious shape, you know, for a long time,
back and forth in Nashville, writing, doing the record, working
with you know, Buddy Cannon, Nora Wilson at the time.
(18:43):
And and I ended up in a match in ninety
six done in Orlando. We're doing the Saturday morning shows,
you know, where they would bring in a crowd and
take another crowd out and bring another crowd in, you know,
just kind of filter them through, and and I got
thrown out of the ring split that no man should
ever do. I tore everything and it retired me. And
(19:05):
I wasn't sad about it at all, you know, because
I didn't I didn't want to do that, to be honest,
But I did it because I wanted a record deal.
That goes back to show you, these kids in the
three sixty deals, they'll do whatever they can to get
a deal, and I was the same way back then.
But it was a little bit different way of doing it.
(19:26):
But I'm tell you something I reflect. I was talking
to a guy who's writing a book about Crispin Waugh.
Chris was one of the meanest individuals I've ever wrestled
in my life. He would hurt you, but they're still
studying his brain because of steroids. There was a lot
going on like that. And I looked last year and
it's sad. We lost twelve to fifteen wrestlers last year
(19:49):
that passed away on us. So it's like that every year.
You know something. Most of these guys are young, and
I didn't want to be I didn't want to do that,
you know, because they hurt so bad. And I've had, man,
I've had double hip replacements already because of it. I've
had both shoulders done. Oh yeah, I'm in great shape,
but I'm worth about nine million dollars right now.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Well, the fact that you did that too, got a
lot of learning experience and works your you know your
ass off to get where you're at in your career
to do both and that grind we talk about too,
that you never know what opportunity is gonna come and
one of the old saying one door closes a nothing
what opens to it. At the same time, you got a
little bit of best in both worlds. It leads me
to my second part of the question. This is something
that I got a credit on Christian Bush. Then he
(20:33):
came up with yesterday. See, I was complimenting his beard, Chad.
What happened? He had it full grown out, I mean,
think and everything. I made a comparison that he looked
like Triple H on the beer. He's wearing a small
cap or whatever. He come on, I didn't ask you
about all. You know, take the cap off and see
if you're you know, bald headed or whatever else. But
he kind of looked back and he said are But
(20:53):
he looked back and I look they all for the ball,
been all four too. I'm going like I said, gray
now to the much hair left on the top of
my head, but looking back at it too. I want
to ask you this, if there's somebody you could set
up a ring with in Nashville, Tennessee, and I could
kick off an inaugural Backstage Pass wrestling event and do
interviews live a location with my bus, and I had
(21:14):
Chad Brock versus someone else in country music in a match,
could pick any opponent he wanted to right now, who
would he pick? And what would be your finishing move?
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Well, my finishment was a bulldog, but that's gonna be
got of hard to do with two fake hips. I'd
have to hit him with a chair. I think that
would be I would cheat. I want to be a
bad guy. One I was too. I played a good
guy so much. I want to be a bad guy.
I like it, you know. And I don't know who
I would want to wrestle, because most of them are
a lot smaller than I am, so I don't know,
(21:46):
you know. I tell you what would be fun I
wouldn't hurt him at all. Blake Shelton, okay, because that
would be that would be funny. That would be the
funniest match on the planet, I think, because Blake six
' five and he's a lot taller than I am,
but he's just so funny to be around. I think
it would be hilarious.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I like that great comparison, and I'd still keep it.
I wouldn't do any kind of mixed tags. I'd go
guys with guys, you know, ladies with ladies on the
wrestling circuit, on the mat out there too. But and
of course I guess we progressed to a mixed tag
out there too. But that's a good choice. And Blake Shelton,
and yes, that's going to be a question. We proposed
two different artists at Country Radio Seminar where they're live
February nineteenth to twenty first, twenty twenty five. The backstage
(22:28):

Country Mixed back You with Chad Brock. All right, we
talked about this one. You always met. It just takes
one in music to get it done. Ordinary life was
(27:36):
definitely up there. But man, you're right about coming across
the song that changes your life, and this one sure did,
didn't it?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, it did. It was it was a lucky one,
to be honest, I had. I went to write with
two of the best riders in Nashville, Jim Collins and
Stephanie Smith. Jim wrote she thinks my tractor sexy, you know,
and Stephanie roade Ischer love for Tim and faith. So
I had some really strong riders front there, and I
had the idea and we went in and wrote it
(28:04):
in forty five minutes. And I was supposed to My
bus was leaving that night they head to California, to
Orange County, California, So the guys were leaving and I
was going to fly in on Friday morning, but I said, oh,
we got to work this up and play it. So
we did. The guys brought their acoustic stuff and we
worked it up and we had to play it that
(28:25):
We played it the first time that Friday night, and
I had to play it three times that night. People
lost their minds, and I knew I had something special.
So we took a board tape because set back then,
and I took it back to Warner Brothers because they've
been going we need a big old hit record, need
a big old hit and now I threw it on
his desk and said, there you go, there's a hit record.
And it was it. Only it spent I don't know
(28:47):
how long, and it spent three weeks and number one.
Then it stayed right there behind Leahn Womack. I hope
you dance right in there with her for weeks and
weeks and weeks, and luckily I was the number two
played Country Songs of the Year that year, behind Toby Keith.
How do You Like Me Now?
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Amazing. It just takes that one baby to change the life.
I loved off the record too, with the Yes record
too young enough to Know It All? Yeah, my favorites
there and another one too that was really awesome, the
visit to talk about just different aspects of life too
when you look down at it, talk about those two
off of the record.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yes, well, young enough to Know it All was. It's
just one of those kinds of things that I took it.
I sang it because my dad always said that to me.
He said, boy, think you young enough to know it all?
Don't you?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I think so, but no I didn't. You know, so
that reminded me of my dad. Every time I sang
that song. Think about it, and when you listen to
the lyrics, it's true, the whole thing is true. But man,
the visit. When I heard that song, I knew I
had to cut it because it was such a twisty song.
At the beginning of it, you think, what a jerk.
(29:54):
This guy is a total jerk, you know, And that's
what you think when you first listen to it. But
at the end, he's not being a jerk. He's you know,
he's lost his wife. He finally found somebody new and
he's telling her, you know, this is what's going on,
you know. And and it turns out to be one
of those tier jerkers that just blows your mind when
you hear the whole song.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
It really does too. You don't want to bring up
this point too, because I love it. Chad, that finally,
and I say finally, I mean back when you were
mentioned about, you know, the Ringing Bell with Faith Hill
and lean Willmack. It's just some of those great nineties
country stars that did their things to Night Twain, Terry
Clark and just the names going on and Outriva of course,
how dominant she was. But now I'm seeing more and
it's a great thing for the industry, I think. So
get your opinion on more females doing their thing out
(30:37):
there right now. Laney Wilson, Megan Maroney, some of these
new stars kind of coming up up and rising to
the top. And uh, every dog has its day, I
will say that too, but it's a good thing for
this category, right Chad, to see these females, oh absolutely,
fee diligence right well.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I love Laney. I'm telling you, I love Laney. I
met her when she first started out. We had she
was playing in South Carolina and I was doing video
then and she came and sat down with me for
about an hour and a half just on the trailer,
you know, in the trailer we just talked, just me
and her. I got to know her real well. And
she's a sweet girl, she really is, and she blew
(31:13):
up like nobody's business. And I think that's fantastic because
she is what people want to hear. You know, there's
a lot of there's a lot of great singers out there,
and I mean a lot of great singers. A lot
more these days than there were back when I was
doing it. Well, granted you didn't hear them because of
social media and things of that nature. But man, there's
a lot of females and you know, to me goes
(31:34):
back to one thing, great music, and Landy's putting out
great music. A lot of women are putting out great music.
They really are.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
It's a great time to be a country music fan
out there too, all right. I tell you we'd get
to the nuts and bolts of it too. And they
can't wait for this new music to come out again
from Chad brock Fack. When it does, we're gonna do
a follow up show here on the backstage past. Yeah,
that music here on the show and on ninety nine
point nine True Country kk TC. I love that Florida
game shirt you're wearing, just because yeah, man, Florida looking
(32:02):
back at it to a person, know, the lister's out
there can't see it in radio LAMB, but we can't
because we see each other here on the screen looking back.
But you know, I love the fact that they been
through some head coaching changes down there. But hey, there's
nothing better than on a Saturday morning and you and
I have talked about this week. I texted the fast
football season and looking back, and it's like, man, college
football and the TV favorite drinking food in hand, all
(32:23):
the great stuff out there, family around the TV. I
love college football. You're as passionate as anybody I know.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Right, Oh, you don't know. I'm telling you. It's crazy.
I tell everybody don't watch Gator football with me because
I pace. You know, I coach too. I used to
coach as well. And it's like, so I'm up there
calling defense, I'm calling offense, I'm looking stuff. I'm I
played many years and it's like, yeah, I tend to
get a little bit loud. So I'm like, y'all, I
(32:51):
don't want to watch Gator football with me because I'll
turn it off and I'll turn it back on and
I have certain superstitions and things of that nature. And yeah,
it's I was really proud of them this year. They
were only supposed to win around one game. They had
the hardest schedule in the world, and man, they ended
up eight and five and I was very happy. And
(33:11):
next year with the recruiting they got, you know, and
the way the SEC is, it's hard to win. It's
hard to win a bunch of games in the SEC
because all you doing is playing really SEC schools. You know,
maybe three or four other ones that you're not playing,
but the bulk is SEC schools, and they are great.
They really are everyone I'm just about. And you know,
(33:33):
I hate playing Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt. I mean, they didn't have
a very good record, but they always played Florida good,
and I don't like to play There's a lot of
teams that don't like to play Missouri because Florida had
a tough time with Missouri, you know, but they didn't
play in this year. They played Vanderbilt. I believe in
being pretty bad. But you know, it's just I'm happy
(33:53):
with the quarterback. He is amazing. The freshman kid, you know, DJ,
he's amazing, and they've got a bunch of young talent
and they're going to be a force to reckon with.
They really are.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Give me a for what you gusked looking at on
the professional level too, because I love the fact that
we get a little parody in the NFL. Now you
look at the Texans, you know, trying to overcome that.
Of course, you still got the dominant Chiefs out there,
but you know, the Ravens kind of doing their thing.
The Buffalo Bill's trying to find that break to it
and bust their way to a super Bowl at least
kind of find that opening too. And then you look
at the Detroit Lions, you know, getting the number one
seed there too, and of course the Minnesota Vikings playing
(34:28):
with a quarterback nobody, nobody thought would do well this season.
He won fourteen games, which is a lot for a while.
Come team kind of super Bowl prediction there to NFC AFC.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
What you got Lions, It's got to be Lions and Bills,
you know, truly, the Lions are just unbelievable. They've won
so many games with so many people injury reserve, you know.
And it's coaching, and I love the way he coaches.
I love the guys that play for him. They want
(34:57):
to win. You don't hear a lot about, you know,
people getting in trouble in Detroit because I believe they
want to win, they want to do great. I don't
believe that the Sheets can get back to it again.
I may be wrong. You just never know. They play
great ball when they're playing in the you know, in
the next level. But man, the Bills are hot. You know,
(35:19):
the Bills are hot. They really are playing.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Some ball right now too. And I think I'm with
you that that that moxie on Josh Allen too, the
way he's uh all cylinders at quarterback position. They've got
a receiver now to to step up the way they've
got Dalptin Kincaid and of course Amari Cooper. And you
can run the football with James Cook and you got
solid offensive line and one of the best football And
it's always to me it starts and ends, and it's
one in the trenches when it comes to offensive and
(35:42):
defensive right to getting.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Off the ball.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
And I love the game so much. Man. I do
high school football broadcast here in my area too at
the same time. And like I said, well, once it's
in your DNA, you're around it for.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah. You know, I've I've got a really good friend
of mine who was an All American in high school,
All American in Florida, and well he was a pro
bowler named Scott Brantley. And Scott I talked to his
sister yesterday. Scott has got what got what they call
DTE and he I don't know how many concussions Scott
got over the years, but he's now he can't walk
(36:16):
hardly in the whole nine yards. He's we don't know
how long Scott's going to be around. And the technology
they've got coming out these days, with helmets and stuff
like that. You know, I wonder why how in the
world I made it through because I hit people head
on all the time. Maybe that's what's wrong with me.
But people like Scott, you know, he got hurt his
senior year of high school, I mean, of college and
(36:40):
should have never played another down. And he played ten
years with the Bucks and now he's just not able
to do anything. I mean, it's like he has onset
dementia and stuff like that. So you know, those guys
put their bodies through a lot, you know, and later on,
I know, I mean, I'm I'm sixty one years old
now and it's like a clam in the best shape
(37:01):
of my life. But when it comes to your joints
and stuff like that. There, if you don't watch yourself,
you can you can be pretty bad later on in life.
You got to really get a hold of it.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Here, you do, no doubt, And like you said, it's
it pays to go man. Like you said, work out
the best you can do. I see some of the
guys older than me running circles around people in that
gym now too that I go to down here too,
and they just say they stay up there, they'll paint.
I'm like you man, three four or five days a week,
I'll get up at four o'clock in the morning, I'm
there by five, work out till six, get a good
hour in for all facets of it. And I tell people,
(37:32):
because you know, one of the things where I'm getting
at with this chat is self care becomes so much
of its ingredient in the music industry too, because some
people actually leave that behind and they forget about self care, you.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Know what, one of the things that we used to do.
And I'm just like everybody else out there, you know,
everybody pretty much drink on the road. You know. In
my rider, you get a bottle of Crown, a couple
of cases of Cores Light. And I'm watching a lot
of people that just don't drink anymore. I don't. I mean,
it's very rare, you know, And and that's that's a
huge thing for a lot of people. They've just stopped
(38:04):
and their health has gotten better, and all the kind
of stuff like that, and and being able to eat right.
And we're finding out now a lot of things that
we were told way back when are not good, you know,
and you shouldn't be you shouldn't eat them the process,
sugar and stuff like that, So try to stay away
from that. But I love sweet some sweet stuff, you know,
And and and doctor peppery is one of my m
(38:27):
So I'm trying to cut back, you know. And I'm
down to probably I'm down lower than I've ever been
was since high school, probably on way about two twenty.
I hadn't seen that since birth, to be.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Honest, I need to get back to that mark still
at two fifty five. But you know what, I put
on some some good muscle now too. Of course, muscle
weighs more than you know. Oh yeah, that's the biggest
thing is I'm trying to but I feel leaner. Chat
I've been doing a lot of plio, a little bit
of cardio and a mix with it. They call them
these these hit classes, high intensity interval training. You've probably
(38:59):
heard of that too.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
But can't but you go ahead and do it.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
It's been good for me. But I'll tell you what.
There's one on a Friday that my instructor does. Now
it's actually called tough tread. Have you heard of that one?
Speaker 1 (39:11):
No, but you go ahead and do it. He thinks.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
He takes a treadmill and you're once you get on it,
you're I mean, you get off, but the thing keeps
running the entire time. And so you're doing your climbing
or you're running on the treadmill. And then when you dismount,
you actually get off and you have a pair of
free weights in your hand, and you do your flies,
You do your like I said, your lateral raised, you
do your bicyp curls.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
You get so they're trying to kill you. Then tough tread, Yes, yeah,
I got you. The one of the most beautiful things
I've ever heard is like when I had my first
hip or placement, the daughtor told me, hey, no more running,
and I went, okay, you know, and then I had
my last one in January of last year, and it's like,
I can't run, I have to watch everything I do,
(39:53):
but I don't hurt anymore. And that's the beauty of it.
I don't hurt, and you go through years years of hurting.
It's like, wow, man, you got to get to get
it fixed, and so I did, and I don't hurt
it at all anymore.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
I'm glad you're living that life painful because they're still
You're right some mornings. I'll keep doing it. I'll keep
doing it for you. I'll text you how my progress is.
Uh yeah, all that too. But for had no doubt
about it. All right. When it comes to this, I
always have like two, two or three. Well, I'll say
two at least cheap days throughout the week of you said,
here is doctor pepper. I gave up soda, but I
still have a problem with pizza. It's just a pizza.
It's tough.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
What toppings go on to Chad Brock pizza all meat
and banana peppers. Yeah, I'm a carnivor.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
He's a carnivore too, all right. In Nashville, I gotta
try this place called Bar Taco and hearing it's really
good out there too, for any kind of taco that
you want. But went in I guess went in town.
You mentioned you going back there later this month to
lay down some vocals. Where do you like to kind
of go eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
Well, there's my favorite restaurant, and it's been that way
for years. Place called Mojo's or is Broadway brew House.
They have the very best wings I've ever had in
my life. I mean they're huge, they are grilled. They're
putting this sauce that would just make the tongue slap
the back of your head. I'm telling you, it's the
best I've ever had. I cannot find them anywhere but
Nashville at Mojo's.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Mojo's so there it is. Put it on the list
right there. We're going to Mojo's for Country Radio Seminar
