In one of Australia's most sought afters out there, NV
Marshall joining us here on the backstage pass NV.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
How you doing.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I'm really good, Brandon, thank you so much for having me.
It's great to be yah yeha excamation point.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I'll tell you what it's good stuff out there too.
And of course I always tell people the time difference.
As we're recording this right now, what time is it
over there in your home country?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
It's midday in Melbourne, Australia.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Melbourne is the home of rock in Australia, and it
is twelve twelve pm, so I don't usually wake up
till ten pm, so I will see.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I love it too, of course midday over there at
night time over here in Texas where the studios are
too as well. Hey, let's talk a little bit about
your career. You've done a little bit of everything out
there too. But this kick ass sound. And I was
telling my friend Jamie about this earlier today. You just
kind of that badass check with attitude.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
It's in this song called Like the Man, which we're
going to play here across all the DSPs and on
the stations of the affiliates. Talk about just the background
and the connection with music growing up and then kind
of win that bug, you know, kind of bit.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I got a bit very young. I was always called
a daydreamer.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
So I was one of those kids in school who
couldn't do anything, couldn't stick to the book, and was
always off script.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So I've always just been a big.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Daydreamer and wanted to do things out of the box
and different things. So like a man, this song for me,
it's a country rock anthem. I say it's like Shania
Twains man. I feel like a woman, but for today,
because today's girls are a little bit tougher. They've been
through a lot more. We've been through a pandemic, they've
been through a depression. It's not the nineties anymore. We're
all a bit tougher. Our skin's a bit We're a
bit leathered now, the ladies, aren't we.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So for us, it's more of that tougher party.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Let's get drunken, let's get up, and let's go out,
and let's throw our fist in the air.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And let's party and not leave the men behind.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Because I love the men, So come on then you
can come, but you're not leaving us at home this weekend,
I got bit by the bug young and then I yeah,
and then I you know this, This song for me
was just really about making sure that everybody has a
good time at the same time. The quality hashtag.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I like that everybody has a good time right there too, Hey,
talk about this we mentioned in this before, you talked
about Ohio Valley Wrestling and just being in the ring
and doing something that is performance based out there learning
just a great craft.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I'm a huge wrestling fan myself. I love all of it.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
You know, WWE, and of course now there's ae W
and there's so many of them too. You can't keep
up with them all now. But when you got your
start there, talk about just lessons that you learned that
you brought to the ring. You learned inside the ring,
you learn from some of the best wrestlers out there.
To take what you learn and put this toward any
career path out there. Talk about that for me, what.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
A great question.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Let me let let me let me take a second still,
just like to appreciate the greatness of that question.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So Really it's about not waiting for an opportunity. I
had to go and put myself in Louisville, Kentucky. I
had to go put myself there to get the opportunity.
So first of all, the lesson is go where it is,
don't wait for it to come to you. And then
when you're there, the biggest lesson I learned is to
shut up and soak it up. And if you're going
to say anything, make sure you're asked a question, and
(04:01):
don't wait for someone to give you a spotlight.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Make sure that you're creating your own opportunities when you're there.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
So basically, when I was at OVW, it was very
difficult to get on TV or to get a spot
because it was the developmental territory for WW.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So the next step was you're on SmackDown.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Or you're on Raw.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
So it's very competitive. So you're in a very competitive space.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So I just learned that in order to stand out,
you'd have to work hard and you had to try
and create something and not just expect that if you
worked hard and you were a good girl, that you'd
be successful with us not how it works. Sometimes it does,
but not in show business. In show business it's not school.
You don't just get good grades and then get to
(04:42):
be successful. Some do, but wrestling, for me, what I
learned the biggest thing for me is I was in
a bit of a brat. I didn't like to be
told whether I could win or lose. And I'm not
telling you that that happens in wrestling. I I would
never do that, But it got to the point for
me what I knew I was winning. I knew I
was winning, but the outside wasn't reflecting the inside for me.
(05:05):
So some great coaches that would pull me aside and
say winning is an inner game. It doesn't matter what
you look like. It looks like on the outside. The
crowd might be booing you, you might be getting booed,
you might be losing. It might look like that on television,
But on the inside, if you can tell yourself you're
winning and keep going and not give up, you can
be the champion.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
It's a big takeaways for me.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Huge, huge advisor for people for different career paths they
want to take too. Let me get your thoughts on
the current state of it right now, Tim, and you
mentioned how you got out. You accomplished what you want
to accomplished there in professional wrestling too. At the same time,
show Business I still again it's my escape. I love
watching it because of that show business factor, and because
you know some of the people that are coming up
(05:48):
now from all this NXT and all these developmental leagues
out there too, which are their Ring of Honor and
all this stuff that aw which I'm a huge fan of.
Some thoughts on kind of when you started and maybe
the way it is now and how it's changed now
for tell vision ratings, things like that, and of course
now wrestlers are getting paid, you know out there. You
know what, when it comes to millions of dollars to
do their craft, so they should.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
You're putting your body on the line every day. You
could die.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Like It's not like you're not an actor. You're throwing
yourself into a car eight one hundred times a day
of porter to get paid that much, you know what
I mean. So these people are putting their asses on
the line to perform for you, to to make to
stop you from caring about your life for a couple
of hours ago. Of course they should get paid that much.
But you know again, it's like any industry, Like I
(06:33):
guess the question you asks is how it's changed. I
grew up with watching WCW, TED Turnus WCW.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I was obsessed with the nWo.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I wanted to be in the nWo so bad, and
then you know, we had DX and I was Attitude
era that was so obviously that was when I was
like one years of age, because obviously, so.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Like that's how long ago that was.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
But I love the Attitude era that there was so
much attitude in that you could say anything, you could
do anything, the women were, the women looked a certain way,
the men looked a certain way. It was very much
an error, all right. And I think because of the culture,
what you see in the ring now reflects just the
absolute globalization of everything. You know, we've got so many
options now. Back then we had three or four television channels.
(07:12):
Now we have five million television channels, you know. I mean,
so you don't know what's going to work. You don't
know if someone's going to be a star or they're
not going to be a star, because you don't know
who the fans are because there's so many different fans.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You can't control that now.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
So I love the variety of what's happening. Do I
watch it every week and obsess about story lines anymore? No,
But that's because I'm obsessive and I'm obsessed about what
I'm doing and I'm not wrestling anymore.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Yeah, I've got like we have one party every year
at least a few of my buddy comes over and
order like the pizza and stuff, and he's like, yeah,
we'll just put it on Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, all those
good things and just have fun with it too, because
after a long week of just working everything else that
you really don't want to do when it comes down
to it, family obligations or just family chores and stuff
like that, it's nice to kick back and put it
(07:58):
on and just not worry about a thing.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
So and it's just so cool. It's just the coolest
thing in the whole world.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And these people train so fricking hard, Like I mean,
I've trained for this thing, so I can respect it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And love it.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
But I also, yeah, I do watch it, but when
I go back and watch it, I will watch like
I'll go back and watch the Golden stuff, like I'll
go watch Brett hart Burs, Chris Benwi or I'll go
watch something like I'll go watch a SummerSlam from ten
years ago or something. You know, I loved, I loved it.
Then I'm sure it's beautiful now and wonderful now. But
that's where my heart was.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I'll tell you who My daughter's into right now, but
she's watching it. She's the He was spent a lot
of time on the independent scene, La Night and you go,
and he's just love is the way he works the microphone.
Because people realize it's so much You mentioned about that too.
You're learning so much about the business that it's not
just what you do in the ring. When you learn
the choreography, it's how you sell merchandise, how you work
(08:50):
yourself on a microphone, the way you talk to an audience.
There's so many things that go into and that's why
these wrestler should get paid what they're getting paid.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You're right, Oh, like any sport, thank you, and like
La Night, I mean, what have gone?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I mean there's so many wonderful, incredible, talented people out there,
but like they have a development system now, and they
had a development system in the past, but the development
system in the past, and very much like the music
industry in the past, where it was like.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
If you're already good, we'll sign you.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
But now it's like they take a pop star or
they take something, they take a person with from scratch
and they'll develop them with raw talent. And we didn't
really have that back in the day. So it's a
very different industry now.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
It sure is no doubt.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Say we got to play the sole here from mb Marshall. Yeah,

Speaker 3 (14:08):
So let's talk about it. You mentioned the song, how
proud you were of this.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I want to go in a different direction and talk
a little bit about the album cover for this song,
because first of all, it's a badass picture. You've got, man,
the stirrups on. You got the calgirl hat tub as well.
You got a little bit of the showing those just
those big muscular shoulders squatting down to with their photos
looks like a pair of black SLACKSNG, but you got
those stirrups.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Talk about just the artwork and where it came from.
The cover art for this single.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I love it, yeah, and I thank you for asking.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
So, I mean, I FAMI, look, I feel like I
felt like Shawn Michael was in that shop.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I felt being the Heartbreak kid. I was like, ah,
I was like walking out to you. I think I'm cute,
So I do so again.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Wrestling is all about I'm all about it, the big
lights of the life, characters.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
It's freaky. I love to steer.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I wore chaps to those chaps in my show in
La I love them. I think that they're just the
coolest thing and everybody needs a pair of them at home,
just for the weekends.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Just a beer in the asslet's chats, let's get them back.
I know, I was just dancing. It's part of my
music video.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So I did a film clip pr I've done two
film clips that are coming out in a couple of
weeks without April eleventh, We've got a drop date for
the music bid And it was just in the moment.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I was just dancing to the Simon, just feeling the via.
But yeah, I'm pretty I'm pretty jacked. I love training.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I need Toket body build because I have so much
energy in my body and if I don't get it
out in a healthy way, it comes out in unhealthy ways.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
So for me, weightlifting is my church. There.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Well, I got to work out with you sometimes because
I've been taking these hit classes for the last six
months personal trainers, so we got if I'm ever in Australia,
we need to just get a little workout session between
Envy and Brandon.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
How's that?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I would love to make you drop and give me twenty.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Hey, I'll tell you what I was able to accomplish.
I've been taking though through all the hit classes. There's
one day a week where it's a yoga, and people
don't realize how much yoga can do and the benefit
for the body. But I got into the upside down
position where you kind of put your head back and
the hands go up. Actually the bridge position goes up
into what I call, I say, a crane but kind
of behind you and hold it for five seconds and
that kind of thing where it's balanced postures. And it's
(16:06):
working pretty good for me right now.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
So nice, how you feeling. What's the difference before and after?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
You just feel I mean, oh god, a hundred times
more relaxed. It's so much more therapy and just talking
to your body helping you sleep better. And as you said,
I have so much of that pin up aggression and
I want to get it out. So mostly if the
gym three four days a week, five sometimes you know,
five am, I'm there doing those hit classes or yoga
or something else with bar bells or kettle bells or
(16:31):
dumb I mean dumb bells. It's just a complete workout.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
For me, I have to have it.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I do absolutely, and for me that the gym floor
is that it's the place to start the work. So
people are like always say, oh, you know, how do
you get to the gym floor? Like, you start there.
You work on the body, and the body controls the mind.
Everything is stored in the body. So if you can
get that out in a really intense way once a day,
you'll sleep better. Everything's better, everything works.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I find.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
If I don't do it, I'm a mess. Ye, I'm
just a horrible person to be around. I'm angry, I'm mean.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
As in.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
As it's done, I'm like, oh.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I feel better, And everyone's like, you need to go
to the gym, right go to the freaking gym.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Of course, with about fifteen minutes into when it starts,
you're like, man, I'm ready for all this to be
over already, but you got to get through the whole
forty five minutes to an hour, So good.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
On ya, proud of you. That's great. Say you're helping
humanity right then.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Trying to I'm trying to, Hey, I want to ask
you about this too, because we spent a lot of
time in Nashville, and of course I've done a lot
of great interviews over there in Melbourne. You know, Jane
Denham has been on with me, Hayley Jensen, so many
great Australian country artists, Nate Barnes from the male side too,
and so many just great, great Australian country artists. You know,
they flocked to CMA a week every year, coming up
(17:38):
there in June, and I'm gonna be there a second
year in a row two, so if you're there, you
got to holler at me too. We're looking forward to
that June fifth to eighth, the National Tennis City at
the Music City Center. But I want to tie that
in too, because Australian country is becoming so much more popular.
It's been popular before, but now with so many great
artists doing their thing, and now maybe they're mirroring that
to Lady Wilson and some of these great Nashville artists.
(18:01):
But this female movement now in the US here for
female country artists. Talk about that for me and how
that motivates Australian just country artists, rock artists like yourself
to see this movement now where you know, I'll say it,
the women right now are kicking ass in this business.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Well, we can't cancel women. We can do whatever we want.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
So it's the time, it's our time, So why not
make the most of it, like say what you want, dress,
how you want to do what you want, let's go,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
So I think for us it's say it. Look men
in the gym.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You look at someone like Arnold Twarzenegger and you go oh,
and then the men are really, you know, their leaders,
but women can be. There's not these songs about you
don't need the man to lead all the time. It's
a balance between masculine and feminine energy.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And I love, I love of love when.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
A woman can own her masculine and her feminine and
be both be pretty and kind and warm and engaging,
but also be ballsy and just go for it and
have that fi and that protecting energy. Because I'm like,
I've got a bed, I've got a staff, I've got people.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Working for me. You know, I'm a badass.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
So I look after a lot of people, you know,
and they've got family and the music that we're making.
We take care of people, not just fans, So I
mean that's cool. And every artist that's out there doing it,
it's putting something on the line, and so I think
that whatever genre are in, it's incredible. If you're going
out there and doing it at any level and you're
really risking it and you're looking after people through your art,
(19:29):
it's amazing because it's difficult these days to do that.
When it comes to the America and how we're being
represented in Australia, I think that American leads the way
it always has. It's controlled the media forever, so you
see something over there, like I was raised by MTV,
you see it on a music video, and then when
you're a little kid, you're like, I want to go
do that. So I think you've always controlled the world,
(19:50):
and I think maybe that's shifting a little bit, but
you're still the big boys.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Yeah, but I still love to just check it out
all the and even one nown named Ella Langley who's
kicking some ass out there too. Love her stuff, And
there's just so many great females doing their thing for
country music right now. I want to ask you about
the single before Like a Man, which was twenty twenty
four last year rock Star. I want to know all
about this one too, writing and of course who you
work with on this project, because I really enjoyed this
(20:14):
song and listening to at Rockstar.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So Yeah, I'm a rock and roll girl at heart
and I'm from the country, but I'm a rock girl
at heart.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
So this song I wrote.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
With a dear friend of mine who was my first
rock and roll well, one of my first rock and
roll mentors. My first was really my dad first music mentors.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
His name is Paul.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Paul was scenes in a country but he isn't a
rock band here in Australia called the Screaming Jets. I
wrote this song with him in twenty twenty, twenty seventeen.
So when I quit wrestling and was working on becoming
a musician, there was a little gap in the middle
where I had to find a mentor because for me,
if you're trying to do anything at any level, you
need to surround yourself with the mentors, people that know
what they're doing, people that have the right headset.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
People that have done it before you.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Because if you don't have those people around you, you
guy that either do it wrong or make a lot
of mistake. It's going to take you a long time.
And yeah, I just really really want to be around
great people. And he'd done it all here. He was incredible,
loved by so many. And we wrote this song in
his kitchen. You know, two o'clock in the morning. I've
written it, but I came to him with it and
(21:13):
you know, when the words came out, it just it
just all came together.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
He to me, was like the first.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I always say for every level, there's a devil, and
he was my first devil in this industry.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
And he was like, all right, mate, all right kid,
let's see what you got. And I was like, here's
when I go. And he was like, it's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
So like you get those people that I just start
to work through your craft, helped to develop you.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
And he was definitely one of those.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
So when he passed away last year, I wrote the
song in twenty seventeen, recorded at twenty eighteen, I put
it out in his passing. So this was this song
rock Star is dedicated to the biggest rock star.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
What a story that is too, no doubt about it.
That's why music should be. You love it. Give me
some works and the plans.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Now we mentioned like a man, how well, let's do
it so far, and then kind of project since we're
in the second quarter of this year, twenty twenty five,
and some goals and objective that you have kind of
set aside for yourself of what you want to accomplish
by the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Tell me about that.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
We're going to tour Europe this year.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
We're going to do at least two months overseas workshop
on the record over in Europe.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I'm going to be in Texas in a couple of
weeks to do some stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I don't know if I'm going to be doing any shows,
but I'm definitely going to be there doing my thing
and back in the Ust by the end of the
year for sure. But nothing sealed and signed a little
bit just yet. And the music videos out on the
eleventh of April, so be ready for that.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Ready for that too. So what part of textas are
you coming to I'm looking forward together. If you're close
to me.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I can already feel I can feel the magnet. Like
I said, I'm going to make a drop and do
twenty exclamation point. I will be there on the twenty
first of this month, so for about two weeks.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I'm going to be in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Okay, it's about four and a half hours from me
right here in a little town called Beaumont, Texas, which
is about an hour from Houston. But at the same time,
Dallas is pretty close to a four and a half
hour drive, not too bad.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I've been invited to Houston, so I'm definitely going to
hit you up.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Okay, please do, my friend, because I'd love just to
hang out with you and just talk more and music, wrestling.
I ever't know what comes to mind here on this show.
We just talked about anything and everything out there. Hey,
we talked about how much fitness meant to your life.
Any other hobbies that when you're away from music that
kind of give you an escape that you're like, I
got to go do this. And if it's not fitness,
what else would it be.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
If it's not fitness, it has to be active. So
I need to be writing, creating, moving. I say, if
I sit down for too long and do nothing, that
that's not me. Like, it's very rare that you're seeing
me doing nothing unless I'm asleep.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
See when you're dead. So I'm an energetic person.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
So for me, it's it's either training, moving, I'm negotiating something,
I'm developing business, I'm doing a podcast, I'm doing an interview,
I'm writing something, I'm playing something.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I'm yeah, I'm a very busy, busy lady. And like
I said, it takes me a long time every day
to do my hair.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
So love the hair too.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
For the folks that have the audio side, they can't
see it too, and of course that we put it
out there, the hair is Brady and it's beautiful and
you gotta love it. And you got to go check
her out on social media too. Hey, tell me all
about the collaboration because again I love fascinated again by
artwork with it. But the title of the songs really
do it for me too, and especially in the rock category, Drown.
I want to know all about Drown and just this
whole project.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Thank you for asking.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
So drown is was my first release ever as an artist,
and again I wrote it on my first EP with
with Pauley. That was the song I wrote after a breakup.
I love it because I love I love breakup songs.
I think you remember you know Adele She wrote her
best record and one six Grammy's after her boyfriend broke
up with her. I mean, this is where art is made.
(24:33):
So Deral was a really painful song. Not painful because
I loved making it and the music was. The music's great.
It's a beautiful song.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
But the story around it for me is we break
up with someone.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
That's when everyone thinks that it's the worst time in
the whole world. But truly it's actually transformation. It's the
best time. It's the most creative times. It happened for
a reason, and I think that's where most of the
best country is written too, in that little gap between
she left me and.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I'm going to be okay. You know, I like that
is eighty nine percent.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I don't know, I don't know the fool statistic, but yeah,
it was a breakup song. So the song's great. I
wrote it very quickly. It's the first song I ever
put out acoustically online. And yeah, thanks for asking.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I love that number.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
I love songs. We're gonna ask about it. So what
we do here on the backstage past? There was another
that I want to touch on too, had that rockfield too?
This was more twenty twenty, the Fire. I got to
ask you about this one too, because here's one that
I got a chance to check out as well. Send
another good message for me and I think a lot
of people that have heard it can really resonate with
this one.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
The fire, Yeah, the fire.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
So you've got to have a fire in your belly,
so to me, fire and the fire in the belly fire,
and so you've got to be going for something. So
I've said this before and I'll say it again for fire,
don't die with your fire inside you. So this song
for me is about keeping up with myself. So I
know that I want to say something. I'm an artist.
I know I want to say something thing. I know
(26:00):
I've got to say it. I not that I don't
care if anyone listens. I know what I've got to say,
and I know that it has to be it has
to be heard. And the fire for me is this
thing that was building inside of me. Was always there
through wrestling, but I couldn't control it. But I think
when you start to get older and you hone your craft,
you can start to control that energy and control that fire.
And the fire as a fire sign and just the
(26:21):
fire inside of me. I'm sure you can feel it.
It's what gets me out of bed every morning. Makes
me want to do the things I do. You know,
protects everyone around me, you know, brings in the money,
pay the bills. It's the fire, you know what I mean.
And that fire when it's burning inside of you and
you don't use it. We talked about you're not going
to the gym before it just burns your life. So
not the fire for me is something that we all
(26:42):
have and deciding where to use it.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Yeah, I love it too. Now as far as food
category goes, I love this one. You cook your own food,
a little bit of takeout. What do you like to
do when you when you take out?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
What do you like?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Oh, it's a good question. I love chilis.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Yeah, that's a great restaurant. Yes, favorite thing a chill.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
When I go, I'm I'm like in the like I'm
in the nicest place in America.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And I'll be like, oh, no, chili. They was like,
I love chili and apple apple weeks.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
What do I love to eat food? I'm a bodybuilder,
so I just I'm pretty structured. I'm pretty structured. It's
just protein, good fats, and cabs like five to six
times a day. And I might go off, I might
go off of that two or three times a week,
maybe have a beer.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
But like, I try really hard to keep.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
This rig in shape because at the end of the day,
people can filter their photos, but when you're on stage,
you cannot feelter that people can see exactly what you
had for lunch.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, I had my cheek. They last out.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
It was what would have you last night? I know
ice cream was one of them, so you hadn't had
ice cream in forever. And then I forget what we et, Oh,
some Chinese food, but I still had chicken at Brocoli,
So I did good.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I'm so proud of you.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
But also when you eat that stuff and if you
do it, if you're doing good because you're doing your
head classes.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
As long as there's no guilt attached to it. You
know what they say.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
They say, it's not cigarettes that kill people, it's the
guilt and the shame attacked smoking that kills people.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
So just keep smoking. Just don't feel bad about it,
say school kids.
Speaker 4 (28:09):

It's great to be yah yeha excamation point.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I'll tell you what it's good stuff out there too.
And of course I always tell people the time difference.
As we're recording this right now, what time is it
over there in your home country?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
It's midday in Melbourne, Australia.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Melbourne is the home of rock in Australia, and it
is twelve twelve pm, so I don't usually wake up
till ten pm, so I will see.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I love it too, of course midday over there at
night time over here in Texas where the studios are
too as well. Hey, let's talk a little bit about
your career. You've done a little bit of everything out
there too. But this kick ass sound. And I was
telling my friend Jamie about this earlier today. You just
kind of that badass check with attitude.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
It's in this song called Like the Man, which we're
going to play here across all the DSPs and on
the stations of the affiliates. Talk about just the background
and the connection with music growing up and then kind
of win that bug, you know, kind of bit.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I got a bit very young. I was always called
a daydreamer.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
So I was one of those kids in school who
couldn't do anything, couldn't stick to the book, and was
always off script.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So I've always just been a big.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Daydreamer and wanted to do things out of the box
and different things. So like a man, this song for me,
it's a country rock anthem. I say it's like Shania
Twains man. I feel like a woman, but for today,
because today's girls are a little bit tougher. They've been
through a lot more. We've been through a pandemic, they've
been through a depression. It's not the nineties anymore. We're
all a bit tougher. Our skin's a bit We're a
bit leathered now, the ladies, aren't we.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So for us, it's more of that tougher party.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Let's get drunken, let's get up, and let's go out,
and let's throw our fist in the air.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And let's party and not leave the men behind.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Because I love the men, So come on then you
can come, but you're not leaving us at home this weekend,
I got bit by the bug young and then I yeah,
and then I you know this, This song for me
was just really about making sure that everybody has a
good time at the same time. The quality hashtag.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I like that everybody has a good time right there too, Hey,
talk about this we mentioned in this before, you talked
about Ohio Valley Wrestling and just being in the ring
and doing something that is performance based out there learning
just a great craft.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I'm a huge wrestling fan myself. I love all of it.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
You know, WWE, and of course now there's ae W
and there's so many of them too. You can't keep
up with them all now. But when you got your
start there, talk about just lessons that you learned that
you brought to the ring. You learned inside the ring,
you learn from some of the best wrestlers out there.
To take what you learn and put this toward any
career path out there. Talk about that for me, what.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
A great question.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Let me let let me let me take a second still,
just like to appreciate the greatness of that question.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
So Really it's about not waiting for an opportunity. I
had to go and put myself in Louisville, Kentucky. I
had to go put myself there to get the opportunity.
So first of all, the lesson is go where it is,
don't wait for it to come to you. And then
when you're there, the biggest lesson I learned is to
shut up and soak it up. And if you're going
to say anything, make sure you're asked a question, and
(04:01):
don't wait for someone to give you a spotlight.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Make sure that you're creating your own opportunities when you're there.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
So basically, when I was at OVW, it was very
difficult to get on TV or to get a spot
because it was the developmental territory for WW.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So the next step was you're on SmackDown.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Or you're on Raw.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
So it's very competitive. So you're in a very competitive space.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So I just learned that in order to stand out,
you'd have to work hard and you had to try
and create something and not just expect that if you
worked hard and you were a good girl, that you'd
be successful with us not how it works. Sometimes it does,
but not in show business. In show business it's not school.
You don't just get good grades and then get to
(04:42):
be successful. Some do, but wrestling, for me, what I
learned the biggest thing for me is I was in
a bit of a brat. I didn't like to be
told whether I could win or lose. And I'm not
telling you that that happens in wrestling. I I would
never do that, But it got to the point for
me what I knew I was winning. I knew I
was winning, but the outside wasn't reflecting the inside for me.
(05:05):
So some great coaches that would pull me aside and
say winning is an inner game. It doesn't matter what
you look like. It looks like on the outside. The
crowd might be booing you, you might be getting booed,
you might be losing. It might look like that on television,
But on the inside, if you can tell yourself you're
winning and keep going and not give up, you can
be the champion.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
It's a big takeaways for me.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Huge, huge advisor for people for different career paths they
want to take too. Let me get your thoughts on
the current state of it right now, Tim, and you
mentioned how you got out. You accomplished what you want
to accomplished there in professional wrestling too. At the same time,
show Business I still again it's my escape. I love
watching it because of that show business factor, and because
you know some of the people that are coming up
(05:48):
now from all this NXT and all these developmental leagues
out there too, which are their Ring of Honor and
all this stuff that aw which I'm a huge fan of.
Some thoughts on kind of when you started and maybe
the way it is now and how it's changed now
for tell vision ratings, things like that, and of course
now wrestlers are getting paid, you know out there. You
know what, when it comes to millions of dollars to
do their craft, so they should.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
You're putting your body on the line every day. You
could die.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Like It's not like you're not an actor. You're throwing
yourself into a car eight one hundred times a day
of porter to get paid that much, you know what
I mean. So these people are putting their asses on
the line to perform for you, to to make to
stop you from caring about your life for a couple
of hours ago. Of course they should get paid that much.
But you know again, it's like any industry, Like I
(06:33):
guess the question you asks is how it's changed. I
grew up with watching WCW, TED Turnus WCW.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I was obsessed with the nWo.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I wanted to be in the nWo so bad, and
then you know, we had DX and I was Attitude
era that was so obviously that was when I was
like one years of age, because obviously, so.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Like that's how long ago that was.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
But I love the Attitude era that there was so
much attitude in that you could say anything, you could
do anything, the women were, the women looked a certain way,
the men looked a certain way. It was very much
an error, all right. And I think because of the culture,
what you see in the ring now reflects just the
absolute globalization of everything. You know, we've got so many
options now. Back then we had three or four television channels.
(07:12):
Now we have five million television channels, you know. I mean,
so you don't know what's going to work. You don't
know if someone's going to be a star or they're
not going to be a star, because you don't know
who the fans are because there's so many different fans.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You can't control that now.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
So I love the variety of what's happening. Do I
watch it every week and obsess about story lines anymore? No,
But that's because I'm obsessive and I'm obsessed about what
I'm doing and I'm not wrestling anymore.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Yeah, I've got like we have one party every year
at least a few of my buddy comes over and
order like the pizza and stuff, and he's like, yeah,
we'll just put it on Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, all those
good things and just have fun with it too, because
after a long week of just working everything else that
you really don't want to do when it comes down
to it, family obligations or just family chores and stuff
like that, it's nice to kick back and put it
(07:58):
on and just not worry about a thing.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
So and it's just so cool. It's just the coolest
thing in the whole world.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And these people train so fricking hard, Like I mean,
I've trained for this thing, so I can respect it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And love it.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
But I also, yeah, I do watch it, but when
I go back and watch it, I will watch like
I'll go back and watch the Golden stuff, like I'll
go watch Brett hart Burs, Chris Benwi or I'll go
watch something like I'll go watch a SummerSlam from ten
years ago or something. You know, I loved, I loved it.
Then I'm sure it's beautiful now and wonderful now. But
that's where my heart was.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I'll tell you who My daughter's into right now, but
she's watching it. She's the He was spent a lot
of time on the independent scene, La Night and you go,
and he's just love is the way he works the microphone.
Because people realize it's so much You mentioned about that too.
You're learning so much about the business that it's not
just what you do in the ring. When you learn
the choreography, it's how you sell merchandise, how you work
(08:50):
yourself on a microphone, the way you talk to an audience.
There's so many things that go into and that's why
these wrestler should get paid what they're getting paid.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You're right, Oh, like any sport, thank you, and like
La Night, I mean, what have gone?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I mean there's so many wonderful, incredible, talented people out there,
but like they have a development system now, and they
had a development system in the past, but the development
system in the past, and very much like the music
industry in the past, where it was like.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
If you're already good, we'll sign you.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
But now it's like they take a pop star or
they take something, they take a person with from scratch
and they'll develop them with raw talent. And we didn't
really have that back in the day. So it's a
very different industry now.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
It sure is no doubt.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Say we got to play the sole here from mb Marshall. Yeah,
Stage Past again powered by the Sports Guys podcast dot com,
a grand slam of music and sports. You know what,
We're gonna have fun here on the show like a
man from MBI Marshall here it is crank is, Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (09:41):

Speaker 3 (14:08):
So let's talk about it. You mentioned the song, how
proud you were of this.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I want to go in a different direction and talk
a little bit about the album cover for this song,
because first of all, it's a badass picture. You've got, man,
the stirrups on. You got the calgirl hat tub as well.
You got a little bit of the showing those just
those big muscular shoulders squatting down to with their photos
looks like a pair of black SLACKSNG, but you got
those stirrups.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Talk about just the artwork and where it came from.
The cover art for this single.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I love it, yeah, and I thank you for asking.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
So, I mean, I FAMI, look, I feel like I
felt like Shawn Michael was in that shop.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I felt being the Heartbreak kid. I was like, ah,
I was like walking out to you. I think I'm cute,
So I do so again.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Wrestling is all about I'm all about it, the big
lights of the life, characters.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
It's freaky. I love to steer.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I wore chaps to those chaps in my show in
La I love them. I think that they're just the
coolest thing and everybody needs a pair of them at home,
just for the weekends.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Just a beer in the asslet's chats, let's get them back.
I know, I was just dancing. It's part of my
music video.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So I did a film clip pr I've done two
film clips that are coming out in a couple of
weeks without April eleventh, We've got a drop date for
the music bid And it was just in the moment.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I was just dancing to the Simon, just feeling the via.
But yeah, I'm pretty I'm pretty jacked. I love training.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I need Toket body build because I have so much
energy in my body and if I don't get it
out in a healthy way, it comes out in unhealthy ways.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
So for me, weightlifting is my church. There.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Well, I got to work out with you sometimes because
I've been taking these hit classes for the last six
months personal trainers, so we got if I'm ever in Australia,
we need to just get a little workout session between
Envy and Brandon.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
How's that?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I would love to make you drop and give me twenty.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Hey, I'll tell you what I was able to accomplish.
I've been taking though through all the hit classes. There's
one day a week where it's a yoga, and people
don't realize how much yoga can do and the benefit
for the body. But I got into the upside down
position where you kind of put your head back and
the hands go up. Actually the bridge position goes up
into what I call, I say, a crane but kind
of behind you and hold it for five seconds and
that kind of thing where it's balanced postures. And it's
(16:06):
working pretty good for me right now.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
So nice, how you feeling. What's the difference before and after?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
You just feel I mean, oh god, a hundred times
more relaxed. It's so much more therapy and just talking
to your body helping you sleep better. And as you said,
I have so much of that pin up aggression and
I want to get it out. So mostly if the
gym three four days a week, five sometimes you know,
five am, I'm there doing those hit classes or yoga
or something else with bar bells or kettle bells or
(16:31):
dumb I mean dumb bells. It's just a complete workout.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
For me, I have to have it.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I do absolutely, and for me that the gym floor
is that it's the place to start the work. So
people are like always say, oh, you know, how do
you get to the gym floor? Like, you start there.
You work on the body, and the body controls the mind.
Everything is stored in the body. So if you can
get that out in a really intense way once a day,
you'll sleep better. Everything's better, everything works.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I find.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
If I don't do it, I'm a mess. Ye, I'm
just a horrible person to be around. I'm angry, I'm mean.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
As in.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
As it's done, I'm like, oh.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I feel better, And everyone's like, you need to go
to the gym, right go to the freaking gym.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Of course, with about fifteen minutes into when it starts,
you're like, man, I'm ready for all this to be
over already, but you got to get through the whole
forty five minutes to an hour, So good.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
On ya, proud of you. That's great. Say you're helping
humanity right then.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Trying to I'm trying to, Hey, I want to ask
you about this too, because we spent a lot of
time in Nashville, and of course I've done a lot
of great interviews over there in Melbourne. You know, Jane
Denham has been on with me, Hayley Jensen, so many
great Australian country artists, Nate Barnes from the male side too,
and so many just great, great Australian country artists. You know,
they flocked to CMA a week every year, coming up
(17:38):
there in June, and I'm gonna be there a second
year in a row two, so if you're there, you
got to holler at me too. We're looking forward to
that June fifth to eighth, the National Tennis City at
the Music City Center. But I want to tie that
in too, because Australian country is becoming so much more popular.
It's been popular before, but now with so many great
artists doing their thing, and now maybe they're mirroring that
to Lady Wilson and some of these great Nashville artists.
(18:01):
But this female movement now in the US here for
female country artists. Talk about that for me and how
that motivates Australian just country artists, rock artists like yourself
to see this movement now where you know, I'll say it,
the women right now are kicking ass in this business.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Well, we can't cancel women. We can do whatever we want.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
So it's the time, it's our time, So why not
make the most of it, like say what you want, dress,
how you want to do what you want, let's go,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
So I think for us it's say it. Look men
in the gym.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You look at someone like Arnold Twarzenegger and you go oh,
and then the men are really, you know, their leaders,
but women can be. There's not these songs about you
don't need the man to lead all the time. It's
a balance between masculine and feminine energy.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And I love, I love of love when.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
A woman can own her masculine and her feminine and
be both be pretty and kind and warm and engaging,
but also be ballsy and just go for it and
have that fi and that protecting energy. Because I'm like,
I've got a bed, I've got a staff, I've got people.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Working for me. You know, I'm a badass.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
So I look after a lot of people, you know,
and they've got family and the music that we're making.
We take care of people, not just fans, So I
mean that's cool. And every artist that's out there doing it,
it's putting something on the line, and so I think
that whatever genre are in, it's incredible. If you're going
out there and doing it at any level and you're
really risking it and you're looking after people through your art,
(19:29):
it's amazing because it's difficult these days to do that.
When it comes to the America and how we're being
represented in Australia, I think that American leads the way
it always has. It's controlled the media forever, so you
see something over there, like I was raised by MTV,
you see it on a music video, and then when
you're a little kid, you're like, I want to go
do that. So I think you've always controlled the world,
(19:50):
and I think maybe that's shifting a little bit, but
you're still the big boys.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Yeah, but I still love to just check it out
all the and even one nown named Ella Langley who's
kicking some ass out there too. Love her stuff, And
there's just so many great females doing their thing for
country music right now. I want to ask you about
the single before Like a Man, which was twenty twenty
four last year rock Star. I want to know all
about this one too, writing and of course who you
work with on this project, because I really enjoyed this
(20:14):
song and listening to at Rockstar.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So Yeah, I'm a rock and roll girl at heart
and I'm from the country, but I'm a rock girl
at heart.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
So this song I wrote.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
With a dear friend of mine who was my first
rock and roll well, one of my first rock and
roll mentors. My first was really my dad first music mentors.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
His name is Paul.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Paul was scenes in a country but he isn't a
rock band here in Australia called the Screaming Jets. I
wrote this song with him in twenty twenty, twenty seventeen.
So when I quit wrestling and was working on becoming
a musician, there was a little gap in the middle
where I had to find a mentor because for me,
if you're trying to do anything at any level, you
need to surround yourself with the mentors, people that know
what they're doing, people that have the right headset.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
People that have done it before you.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Because if you don't have those people around you, you
guy that either do it wrong or make a lot
of mistake. It's going to take you a long time.
And yeah, I just really really want to be around
great people. And he'd done it all here. He was incredible,
loved by so many. And we wrote this song in
his kitchen. You know, two o'clock in the morning. I've
written it, but I came to him with it and
(21:13):
you know, when the words came out, it just it
just all came together.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
He to me, was like the first.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I always say for every level, there's a devil, and
he was my first devil in this industry.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
And he was like, all right, mate, all right kid,
let's see what you got. And I was like, here's
when I go. And he was like, it's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
So like you get those people that I just start
to work through your craft, helped to develop you.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
And he was definitely one of those.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
So when he passed away last year, I wrote the
song in twenty seventeen, recorded at twenty eighteen, I put
it out in his passing. So this was this song
rock Star is dedicated to the biggest rock star.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
What a story that is too, no doubt about it.
That's why music should be. You love it. Give me
some works and the plans.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Now we mentioned like a man, how well, let's do
it so far, and then kind of project since we're
in the second quarter of this year, twenty twenty five,
and some goals and objective that you have kind of
set aside for yourself of what you want to accomplish
by the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Tell me about that.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
We're going to tour Europe this year.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
We're going to do at least two months overseas workshop
on the record over in Europe.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I'm going to be in Texas in a couple of
weeks to do some stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I don't know if I'm going to be doing any shows,
but I'm definitely going to be there doing my thing
and back in the Ust by the end of the
year for sure. But nothing sealed and signed a little
bit just yet. And the music videos out on the
eleventh of April, so be ready for that.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Ready for that too. So what part of textas are
you coming to I'm looking forward together. If you're close
to me.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I can already feel I can feel the magnet. Like
I said, I'm going to make a drop and do
twenty exclamation point. I will be there on the twenty
first of this month, so for about two weeks.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I'm going to be in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Okay, it's about four and a half hours from me
right here in a little town called Beaumont, Texas, which
is about an hour from Houston. But at the same time,
Dallas is pretty close to a four and a half
hour drive, not too bad.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I've been invited to Houston, so I'm definitely going to
hit you up.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Okay, please do, my friend, because I'd love just to
hang out with you and just talk more and music, wrestling.
I ever't know what comes to mind here on this show.
We just talked about anything and everything out there. Hey,
we talked about how much fitness meant to your life.
Any other hobbies that when you're away from music that
kind of give you an escape that you're like, I
got to go do this. And if it's not fitness,
what else would it be.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
If it's not fitness, it has to be active. So
I need to be writing, creating, moving. I say, if
I sit down for too long and do nothing, that
that's not me. Like, it's very rare that you're seeing
me doing nothing unless I'm asleep.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
See when you're dead. So I'm an energetic person.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
So for me, it's it's either training, moving, I'm negotiating something,
I'm developing business, I'm doing a podcast, I'm doing an interview,
I'm writing something, I'm playing something.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I'm yeah, I'm a very busy, busy lady. And like
I said, it takes me a long time every day
to do my hair.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
So love the hair too.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
For the folks that have the audio side, they can't
see it too, and of course that we put it
out there, the hair is Brady and it's beautiful and
you gotta love it. And you got to go check
her out on social media too. Hey, tell me all
about the collaboration because again I love fascinated again by
artwork with it. But the title of the songs really
do it for me too, and especially in the rock category, Drown.
I want to know all about Drown and just this
whole project.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Thank you for asking.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
So drown is was my first release ever as an artist,
and again I wrote it on my first EP with
with Pauley. That was the song I wrote after a breakup.
I love it because I love I love breakup songs.
I think you remember you know Adele She wrote her
best record and one six Grammy's after her boyfriend broke
up with her. I mean, this is where art is made.
(24:33):
So Deral was a really painful song. Not painful because
I loved making it and the music was. The music's great.
It's a beautiful song.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
But the story around it for me is we break
up with someone.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
That's when everyone thinks that it's the worst time in
the whole world. But truly it's actually transformation. It's the
best time. It's the most creative times. It happened for
a reason, and I think that's where most of the
best country is written too, in that little gap between
she left me and.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
I'm going to be okay. You know, I like that
is eighty nine percent.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I don't know, I don't know the fool statistic, but yeah,
it was a breakup song. So the song's great. I
wrote it very quickly. It's the first song I ever
put out acoustically online. And yeah, thanks for asking.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I love that number.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
I love songs. We're gonna ask about it. So what
we do here on the backstage past? There was another
that I want to touch on too, had that rockfield too?
This was more twenty twenty, the Fire. I got to
ask you about this one too, because here's one that
I got a chance to check out as well. Send
another good message for me and I think a lot
of people that have heard it can really resonate with
this one.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
The fire, Yeah, the fire.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
So you've got to have a fire in your belly,
so to me, fire and the fire in the belly fire,
and so you've got to be going for something. So
I've said this before and I'll say it again for fire,
don't die with your fire inside you. So this song
for me is about keeping up with myself. So I
know that I want to say something. I'm an artist.
I know I want to say something thing. I know
(26:00):
I've got to say it. I not that I don't
care if anyone listens. I know what I've got to say,
and I know that it has to be it has
to be heard. And the fire for me is this
thing that was building inside of me. Was always there
through wrestling, but I couldn't control it. But I think
when you start to get older and you hone your craft,
you can start to control that energy and control that fire.
And the fire as a fire sign and just the
(26:21):
fire inside of me. I'm sure you can feel it.
It's what gets me out of bed every morning. Makes
me want to do the things I do. You know,
protects everyone around me, you know, brings in the money,
pay the bills. It's the fire, you know what I mean.
And that fire when it's burning inside of you and
you don't use it. We talked about you're not going
to the gym before it just burns your life. So
not the fire for me is something that we all
(26:42):
have and deciding where to use it.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Yeah, I love it too. Now as far as food
category goes, I love this one. You cook your own food,
a little bit of takeout. What do you like to
do when you when you take out?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
What do you like?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Oh, it's a good question. I love chilis.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Yeah, that's a great restaurant. Yes, favorite thing a chill.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
When I go, I'm I'm like in the like I'm
in the nicest place in America.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
And I'll be like, oh, no, chili. They was like,
I love chili and apple apple weeks.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
What do I love to eat food? I'm a bodybuilder,
so I just I'm pretty structured. I'm pretty structured. It's
just protein, good fats, and cabs like five to six
times a day. And I might go off, I might
go off of that two or three times a week,
maybe have a beer.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
But like, I try really hard to keep.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
This rig in shape because at the end of the day,
people can filter their photos, but when you're on stage,
you cannot feelter that people can see exactly what you
had for lunch.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, I had my cheek. They last out.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
It was what would have you last night? I know
ice cream was one of them, so you hadn't had
ice cream in forever. And then I forget what we et, Oh,
some Chinese food, but I still had chicken at Brocoli,
So I did good.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I'm so proud of you.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
But also when you eat that stuff and if you
do it, if you're doing good because you're doing your
head classes.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
As long as there's no guilt attached to it. You
know what they say.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
They say, it's not cigarettes that kill people, it's the
guilt and the shame attacked smoking that kills people.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
So just keep smoking. Just don't feel bad about it,
say school kids.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
