Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up, y'all.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's Lakeview and you're listening to the Backstage Past podcast
exclusively on KKTC ninety nine point nine True Country in Taos,
New Mexico.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
And welcome inside the Backstage Pass. Always a busy day
here and of course counting down the days to Thanksgiving,
Holidays and Christmas. You can happy early Holidays to everybody
out there too, and wish you guys doing everything you

the giving time of the year, and we're gonna give
to you today on the Backstage Pass radio program here
exclusively KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine. And of
(00:33):
course right there in Tallas, New Mexico, skiing weather. It's
the time of year to put the skis on, snowmobiles,
all the good stuff out there, and always a good
time to talk some real good country music down home
out there. It's blue collar country the way I like
to describe it to as well. Jesse and look join
us from the group lake View.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
What's going on, guys, what's up man?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
It's good to be here, brother.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Hey man, good to have you guys here too and
talk all about this album and what's been going on
with you guys ever since you formed, So, you know,
for the listeners out there, man, I want to know
the story too. Of course I know a lot of
the backstory, but hearing it from you guys, it's kind
of two different things out there. But I love the
fact you guys kind of just roll those Dice went
to Nashville just a few years ago, and you know,
you're like, you know what, we believe in ourselves. We're
gonna cash in our chips and we're gonna get up
(01:13):
there and write music and form this thing called Lake.
You take me on this ride, Jesse. We'll start with you.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, I mean we met probably I don't know, fifteen
years ago. We were touring doing playing in different rock
and metal bands, and we just became friends.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
And over the.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Years, I ended up moving to Pittsburgh and me and
Luke live together and we worked together, and we just
started writing songs together. And those songs have now, you know,
taken us to Nashville, and we had a dream to
do something a little bit bigger for ourselves than just
what we were doing in Pittsburgh. And you know, it was
(01:48):
a hard It's been a hard six seven years of
working multiple jobs and selling equipment and all these things
just to pay our rent so we could go on
tour and write these music, pay.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
For these recordings.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
But you know, it's beautiful to be on the other
side of it, you know, just put out the debut
album and seeing everybody connecting with it and seeing the
fan base grow, and you know, even just being able
to be here and talk to you and it's just it's.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Just surreal at some points for me and Luke for sure.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
And luc let's talk about that, man. I love it.
This is a blue collar country.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Man.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I love that slogan.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
You guys are going by too, because you guys can
really relate to people out there, I mean, the common workers.
You know, we just kind of come off this election
here now, and for everybody out there that has those
day jobs that you know, scratches, claws and digs their
way to the top every time, no matter what a
lot of occupation they have. This is music that a
lot of people can relate to talk about just kind
of where that came from, that mentality of blue collar country.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
A lot of people don't know this, but like you know,
as much as me and Jess here songwriters, we dug
we write a thousand souls.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well, we dug about.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
Three times as many holes in Rocky Top, Tennessee to
make this thing work. And a lot of people out
there don't really get the thing thanks for you know,
their day to day jobs and doing what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Well, we live that, you know, we lived.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
That life where we've been on the side of the
road building stuff for rich folks and doing things that
never get to thank you, you know, putting your hands
in dart. Everybody says, well, builds a lot of character.
And I think that we build enough character for about
twenty people now. And I know there's a lot of
folks out there that do the same thing day and
day out, and they don't see the light at the
end of the tunnel. Just know that, you know, we
(03:27):
want people to know that that there that is a
light at the end of the tunnel there too. You know,
like there's a lot of pride that that comes in
that work that that we don't necessarily always get from
even being songwriters and musicians. We don't get that same pride.
And I think living the life that we lived coming
up as blue collar guys and learning the trades. We
(03:50):
just want to pass that along and see that live
on and and that's why we do this, and that's
why we're blue collar Country. We want to have something
that everybody's proud to roll the windows down in their
truck and blasted on the way home or way to work.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Let's talk about those, you know, like I said that
social media, how big an impact that is for everybody
out there, for all artists who you just type in
somebody's name, and how streaming has has changed it for
you guys, and really did on social media, that mean,
grown like two thousand percent on Instagram and like another
three million percent on TikTok in the past twelve months.
And I mean just those those those hits we talked about,
those old country hits.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Home Team.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
We're gonna play here a little bit too, but just
how fast things that are out there. And if a man,
you know, Jesse, people can relate to that type of sound,
you know, social media is going to really just kind
of take a stance and say, man, we love this music.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Talk about that for me.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, I mean we used you know, being being musicians
for a long time. You know, we grew up writing
and playing shows and touring and doing all this stuff
kind of before the Internet, so it was so much
harder back then. You know, we'd have to go on
tour and play it to nobody and go to the
mall and try and force people to come to the
(05:00):
shows and build a fan base that way. So I'm
grateful that we have that backbone and that that drive
and that work ethic built into what we do, but
super thankful for the Internet just because of the sheer
ease of reaching as many people as we possibly can.
I mean, it all kind of started with Loser back
(05:20):
a couple of years ago. We put that song out
and me and look, we're like, we just want to
put this song out like this is I know it's
a little heavier and I know it's a little different.
But and the second we did that, i mean, within
twenty four hours, it was there was millions of people
watching it and sharing it, and we were like, okay, cool,
all right, let's do another one that we you know,
put out Son of a And it just kind of
(05:41):
the ball kept rolling and we were like, Okay, we're
not crazy. There's a crowd for this, and there's an
audience for this, and you know, we're super grateful to
have to have the crew that we have now and
the people that love what we do.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
It's it's awesome.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Latino is awesome as a song that gets over thirty
five and streams and counting. We'll get to play right

Today's Best Country Mix Right there o KKTC True Country
ninety nine point nine. Back here with the guys, Luke
and Jesse Lake. Uh, thirty five million streams and you
know what, still counting. And look, I got to go
back to this. What a song? What an anthem? And
if it's not already I was talking to you guys
about this before the show. This is gonna get in
(10:12):
some professional locker room. It's not already we talked about Uh,
you guys could ever imagine this thing would have taken
off the way it has and the public would really
resonate with this. But I mean, man, being a sports
fan myself, I'm always for that home team.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Right, that's right?
Speaker 7 (10:27):
Yeah, it's actually the Dallas Stars picked this song up
and they come out. They came out to it all
last season. They came out to home team when they
would play a home game, which was massive for us.
It was kind of kind of hurt a little bit
because we're we're Penn's fans, We're Penguins fans, and uh,
you know, it's it'd be amazing to have the Pittsburgh
(10:48):
Steelers pick it up.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
But we'll, we'll.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
We're happy that a lot of these minor league teams
have been picking up a lot of a lot of
kids walking out to it, you know, up the bat.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
And and they're little league games.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
And I think a lot of people just in day
to day life, they like, Man, every day I go
and I'm just dragging my way to work, I always
throw on home team, And I think that's just what
it's for. Man, That's that's what we wrote it for.
And we wrote that song after a twelve hour day
and we weren't even coherent by the time we finished, right,
And that's song. This The next morning, at five thirty
(11:23):
in the morning on the way to work, we were like,
my holy crap, man, this song is pretty good. So
I'm glad to see it get motivated motivate a lot
of people in a couple of teams actually picking it up.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Man, it's really awesome.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
It's a great song with doubt. It's an antem like
I said, when you first start listening to it, man,
it's that rock and kind of feel to it, and
just the drums hit you know what you're getting right
there too, and you just bring people to their feet
out there too. So definitely being a hockey fan myself too,
love to watch professional hockey there too, and it's just great,
like you said, to come out on the ice and
the skates and sticks and really get the crowd just
kind of ripped up there too.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I love this one too. Wrong side of the track
it's on the album again, our guest here on KKTC
True Country ninety nine point nine and Jesse. There couldn't
have been another better, just great song to pick on
this album then that wrong side of the track.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, man, we h that song is one of our favorites.
We we ended up writing it with our friends that
we wrote a home team with actually same group of guys,
and we just wanted something that kind of had that
little like an earworm, like you couldn't get out of
your head, almost had like a nursery rhyme kind of
vibe to it, and uh yeah, I mean we're we're
(12:30):
super stoked to have that be like the single on
the album, and it's really awesome to see people connect
with it and love it. And it's not as heavy
as Home Team obviously, but uh, you know, Lakeview has many, many,
many different sides to it, and uh, we're super stoked
that the album was able to come out and people
were able to see, you know, the different types of
stuff that we're that we love to do and that
(12:52):
we're able to do.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Well.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I love this one and it tells a story too.
This one's just a really cool title for a song.
And I gotta get you guys really depending on this
because I love the writing and just the lyrics in
this one talking about telling a story. So let's go here, Luke.
I never we all we've all had bad dates, but
we love beer. We love drinking. We've all had party nights.
But so I guess a bad day to be a beer.
That one right there too. That had to be just
(13:15):
one of your fun songs to record, right.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh for sure? Man, Yeah, that that song.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Uh, I think we were out on a golf course
and that we had that that just struck a chord
with me, and I'm like, man, this is one of
the best days we had in a long time. And
I think I've heard some other folks say, like in passing,
some older old timers, like man, it's a bad day
to be a beer and uh So that just kind
of resonated with us like.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Quite a bit.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
A few times we'd catch ourselves saying that term, you know,
and it's like, wow, this is a first good day
we had in a while. But man, it's a bad
day to be a beer. And we came home and
wrote that song and uh yeah, we we just had
so much fun with that song, just using using real
life situations that we've been in. Uh and and some
(14:01):
just let them, you know a little bit with your imagination,
wonder with that and just to have fun with that
and try to get people on their feet, like you
were saying, just like home team. But this that one there, man,
that's a party song. Man, we want to get people
up out of their seats and partying.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I love it too, the titles and this is pretty
cool too, see me in a suit. So it's one
of Gill's top streaming songs. Jes let's talk about this one.
I thought this was just another great title and that
kind of you know, that whole background, that early two thousands,
that pop and kind of that rocked aim you know
country too. This was just another one of those kind
of fangers.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Yeah, oh thanks man.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
The Seeing the Suit's another awesome one that we also
wrote with the dudes that we did in Home Team
with and yeah, I mean it just comes from like, uh,
it was actually something that Luke's uncle would say all
the time, and he would say, you know, the next
time you see me in the suit, it's gonna be
in my funeral, and and just the image of that
of like we were like, oh, maybe we should write
(14:57):
it about that, and then we were like, no, it's
a you know, we should write it more about out
like I'm not going to change, you know, And I
think it goes well with the blue collar country folks
and the people the Home Team and the people that
like that are fans of ours. Is like these are hardworking,
you know, maybe stubborn, you know, just like us, and uh,
you know.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
We're not going to change for nobody, and no one's
going to.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Tell us how to live our life and how to
how to speak. And it's just kind of it kind
of just speaks to that no.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Doubt too again.
Speaker 3 (15:22):

slam of music and sports out there too. All right, Jess,
we got to talk about it, man, because I love
(19:20):
it what I know now, it really tells a story,
just like all the music goes on this album here too.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
What's a little backstory of this one?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Yeah, we just, uh, we thought the idea of like
I think we're all constantly saying, like, man in hindsight,
you know, Hindsight's twenty twenty, and I think that's something
we've we've all said probably a million times, and there's
probably a lot of relationships and things that we've done
and where currently you know, present day, you're like man,
(19:48):
I wish I would have knew then what I know now,
And it just, uh, once we landed on that hook,
it was just it kind of wrote itself. It was
it was just felt kind of familiar, and uh, it
was just a fun song to write.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I love it And that's the beauty of music and
everything didn't have to be a hit, but out there
too a lot of the streams and if it tells
a story again that the whole point about it is
storytelling what's great about country music. And I love the
fact you guys have been supporting out there. Some of
those top artists too. We've talked to here on the program,
you know, looking back at Luke, I mean, Mitchell Tenpenny
and Chase Matthew Breaking, Benjamin Leonard Skinner, Cameron Marlow, Struggle
(20:21):
Jennings who had her in the program, just box office names.
What's that meant to you guys to just share the
stage and you know, kind of learn from those guys
and kind of watch those shows and you know, take
something maybe from from that, kind of like going back
to school a little bit, pulled something from their show,
incorporated into your own, and then of course you just
kind of have fun on the road out there supporting
those big acts.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
It's unbelievable and moments, you know, like being out on
the road was Stained. That was like one of the
first bands I've ever worked for. I always had a
second job my whole life, and a lot of times
it was stage handing for bigger shows.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Same with Leonard Skinner.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
So to get the work for those bands when you're
a kid and get the obvious, so grow up on
that stuff and listen to them and then be able
to share the stage as as as you would say,
as like peers on a on a tour or on
a on a show. It's just it's it's unbelievable, man,
It's it's it's hard. It's still it's still kind of
(21:16):
hard for both of us to even wrap our heads
around this stuff. You know, we just you never foresee
it really making it past your front door sometimes when
you're out there working your ass off every day. So
it's it's really tough, man, Uh to put it in
the words, how it makes me feel. And Mitchell Tempenny
became a great friend to us. Same with Chase Matthew Man.
(21:37):
These guys are just like the salt of the earth.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Man.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
They're they're truly good men, and they're they're great songwriters.
And that's where we hit it off. Man, it's just
becoming friends and Hey, I want to come play a
couple of shows.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Heck, yeah, we do. What's the oh you know that's
the beautyful tone. I'm glad you guys said that. You
never kind of forecasted that. I didn't do that when
I started this radio show, you know, almost six years ago,
and looking at well over four un and fifty thousand
streams right now across all the platforms I'm on too,
and you just kind of dream big. You start somewhere
and the only person that's really going to invest in
you is yourself. And I think that's one of the
biggest things out there is you take that leap of faith,
(22:10):
and you know there's going to be some bad investments
along the way, some things that you're like, man, why
did I pay for that?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Do this?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
But you guys kind of stuck to your plan. And
I love this because you get I mean, the Nationville
Briefing behind you a lot Jesse and it's twenty five
artists to watch, and then you get such other great publications,
the Academy of Country music what we know now, I mean,
no pun intended. We're obsessed with lke view, which is
cool there too, So to bring that in and that
attention that you guys, you'd never asked for. That you
just kind of work your ass off and do what
you need to do. At the same time, I love
(22:36):
that because you can get all those pigtime media publications
behind you. What does that mean to you guys? Knowing
that you've worked for it and that blue collar mentality
is really definitely paying off for you guys.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Now, Yeah, I think we just kind of kind of
spent the last six years working with our heads down
and just kind of putting the blinders on, and we
felt a little resistance. We moved to town and we
just kind of were like, all right, well, if that's
the case, then we're just gonna keep on trucking along,
keep doing what we do because we're not really good
at anything else, so I might as well just keep
doing this. So it's been probably this year was the
(23:08):
first year that I felt like I picked my head
up a little bit and looked around and was like,
oh wow, it's you know, it's working, and like the
home team is growing and you know, we're showing up
the shows and there's three hundred people instead of ten,
you know, and it's like, Okay, we're connecting and things
are working, and it's just it's just a really awesome
(23:28):
place to be, you know, feeling like what you're doing
is just working and connecting with people.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
And you know, Luke, you'll have some great people behind you.
I've got to know a lot of the great folks
over at Greiserhouse talk about just the team behind you.
It's tough to you get out there and you know
much less. You know, plan a show and you know,
like I said, a set list and know what you're
going to sing when you get up there on stage
and rehearsal, sound check, things like that, and to get
out there just be mentally focused to play a show
for those hard fans, you know, hard working fans that
actually you know, off those tickets to come out there
(23:57):
and support you guys, and you know, sell merchandise. That
whole team from the merchandise to the sound people, to
the crew, to toer house to everybody to make this
thing a little old machine.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
To talk about that for me, yeah, we're so blessed
man at the nicest thing about the best part of
how this how how long this kind of took to
get going, was we got to make the right relationships
along the way. The people who stuck by our side
were like truly in it and believed it with us.
(24:28):
You know, they rode through that, they rode through the dirt,
you know, with us on this. And uh, that's you
know Riserhouse, that that's that's our manager. Uh, everybody, everybody's
losing their their butt with us on it.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
And uh we got.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
To curate that with them. We got to pick them
and they picked us. And and we're so lucky that
we got to be able to do that. And we
can't be more thankful. Uh that every single person, especially
ever at Riserhouse, like every single person in that office
goes to bat for us every single day. And it's
(25:02):
it's still blows my mind. I wake up and and
these people were out there working for to make this
a bigger and better thing.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
For more people to hear the songs.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
And that's the most important thing for the whole team,
everybody on the team, is we want people to hear
the songs. It's not really about me and Jesse looking
cool or being an award shows and crap like that.
We don't we we we appreciate that stuff, but we
don't care about that stuff. We want people to hear
the songs, man, And that's it's really cool that we
that we have this team with us.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I gotta throw a little proper out there too. God,
you know him over the past few weeks. Quality guy
Matt Woodson too at the same time, great manager to
love it, great guy.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Yeah, absolutely, he's the best fantastitude.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
And let's talk about another and off there one of
my favorites too, which I loved money and I love
this one too because any song with that title on
there too when it comes down to money where your
mouth is? So we got to go here, Jesse, this
is one that is a banger and one that definitely
tells a story.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah think I think that's a you know, me and
Luke just being like, hey, if you don't like what
we do and you want to, you know, I want
to run your mouth a little bit and put your
money in my mouth.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Is you know.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Another really cool thing is that'ce you're a big sports guys.
The Dallas Stars again, they use home team last year,
but they use money where Your Mouth Is.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
This year we actually went, they flew us out.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
To Dallas and we did like a whole music video
thing and they so we're on the jumbo Tron and
I mean, it's it's it's absolutely insane that we got
to do something so cool like that with that song,
and it's I mean, it's so fitting for hockey.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
I mean it's ridiculous. So it's been cool.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Octane has really adopted us recently and serious has been
like playing that song so much. So it was really
cool this past fall when we were on tour with
Breaking Bend and stayed, we.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Would, you know, we'd be like, hey, this song is
called Money with Your Mouth? Does anyone know what it is?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
And you know, we're thinking, oh, people just know Home Team,
you know, because it has so many streams. But you know,
people were like raising their hands singing all the words.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
I mean, it was so awesome, it was so cool.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
So on one of our One of my favorite songs
to play live nowadays is definitely Money Where Mouth Is,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
No doubt, Tode.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
That's the beauty of country music out there too, is
the chance to play live, chance to play in front
of those fans and then, like I said, you know,
first step in the studio, make the magic, and then
bring the magic out there too to the live studio audience.
Another one off there too, off the debut album which
was man really good, just deep too. We've all been there, Man,
I love it too, Lucas rock Bottom, we got to
go there. Let's let's talk about that one.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Yeah, rock Bottom not manas Me, Jesse and our buddy
Quin write that song, and actually Tyler from Gideon too,
he helped us write some riffs on that song.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah, that song just kind of speaks.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
Really personal to us because me and Jesse both have
lost relationships due to the fact that that we're not successful.
Say so, but you know, it's one of those things
like you're either true to it or or you're not.
So our lifestyle never really we never thought that. We
(28:13):
never thought we had to change our lifestyle. We we
party even with nothing. We keep things moving along. So yeah,
rock Bottom man Is is just a real song about Hey,
if someone can't party with nothing, you know, well, they're
probably not one of They're probably not a friend of mine.
So yeah, we keep it moving at the bottom. No
(28:36):
Ta we've all been there. And that's another one that
just tells a great story out there too. Again Lakeviewofficial
dot com or merchandise and everything out there too, and
of course the debut album that great title there lake View,
and of course Home Team kicks it off there too,
and it's just a great rendition. A lot of great
anthems on there too, a lot of great stories told
from this kick ass fan right here too, kicking ass
and taking names out there for all the great blue
collar country too.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
All right, we'll do a couple of final ones. You know,
I love now Ashville. Love all the different places out
there that you can eat out Jesse. There's so many places.
They just people want to dive into a certain cuisine.
You get a recommendation, which is fantastic. Talk to me
about some of you guys. Maybe it's on tour passing
through there, where you like to go eat, just kind
of hang out and maybe drink some beer and have
some good food.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
In Nashville.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah, I mean, we me and Luke have a very
specific place we always go to.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
It's not the nicest place in the world.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
It's not the fanciest joint, but man, it's got character
to it. You know, it's very lakeview, it's very blue collar.
It's a place called Santa Fe. It's like this tiny,
little weird chain. I think there's like three or four
of them in the country. Nice cheap steak, you know,
some hot rolls, a nice you know ice ice cold
dot coke.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
You know, it hits it hits good. So Santa Fe.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
If you're in Nashville and you're looking for a nice
place to bring your girlfriend, bringing a Santa Fe, It's
right next to the Opry, which is dope, and then
right next door to that is a really awesome bar
called the Scoreboard, which is a really which is really
awesome in place that me and Luke and all of
our friends, you know, we go to a lot. You know,
during COVID, they they have like an outdoor patio, so
(30:08):
they were able to like serve the community and keep
it moving. So I just love supporting those like locally owned, smaller,
smaller joints. So Scoreboard Santa Fe can't go wrong.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Baby gotta love that one too. At the same time,
and I'm right by the opportunity. We just finished a
nice string of shows here in the fall with WSAM,
the home of the Grand ol Lopery. So a lot
of cool things coming up there too, and just two
great joints to hang out at too. And like I said,
support local businesses, I'm all about that too. At the
same time, all right, I know football, I gotta threw
a little talking there too, because my team, actually, the
people always asking me i'd become a fan of them,
(30:39):
the Arizona Cardinals. They're having a winning season for the
first time in like three years. But I live in
Texas down here, and so for the Cowboy fans, they
pretty much have just written off the season which is
not going well. Quarterbacks hurting out too're gonna have some
season ending hamstring type of surgery where the muscle's coming
off the bone. But for you guys, I guess one
are good for both of you guys. Looke will start
there huge football fans and who, if so, who are
(31:01):
the teams?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (31:03):
Definitely I go for for my my hometown teams, the
Pittsburgh Steelers, uh all day. And then college I go
for Bama sometimes Florida too, but Alabama and UH. I
would definitely say what it's same for you, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Steelers all the way. Man, It's just it's it's the
(31:24):
Pittsburgh Steelers, man, And congratulations though that the Cardinals got
some winning, winning season going on here. Man, that's I've
been watching that. I was like, wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
That's been a while.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
You get a few first round picks and one or
two of those bands out and that guy Marvin Harrison
Junior is a freaking nature out there too. And I
guess Kyler finally just stayed healthy and had the freak
of the accident knee injury last year, so at some
point they were going to jail. What I liked about
it too, Jess, was it was always fun to see
that the former I guess the scouting guy, former front
office guy Maniosa for come over from the Detroit Lions,
(31:57):
and the Lions are just a good football team.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
Now.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I love what Pittsburgh's doing to at the same time
and how they really resurrected Russell Wilson's career. But you know,
for me, it's just really cool to see that, Like
every time you get somebody from a great organization, they
can bring that confidence in that culture, they can bring
that mentality over and I think that's what's made the
Cardinals better. And I think you get a little bit
of that rubbing off because Mike Tomlins such a good
coach with the Steelers.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Yeah for sure. Yeah, I think we actually talked about it.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
We love we love the we love the lines, and
actually I love the Bills too, just because they all
play like I feel like the Steelers and the Bills
and the Lines are like, it's like hard working.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
It's like blue collar football to me. That's what it
feels like.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
You know, it's not flashy, it's not the sexiest thing
on earth, but it's it's uh, you know, down in
dirty football.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
So yeah, Mike Tom.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Was the man like Asai, never had a losing season
and only with the third head coach in Pittsburgh Steelers
history behind Chuck Noll and of course the great Bill
Caler out there too.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Cow Power Baby.
Speaker 3 (32:58):

Speaker 4 (00:47):
What's going on, guys, what's up man?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
It's good to be here, brother.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Hey man, good to have you guys here too and
talk all about this album and what's been going on
with you guys ever since you formed, So, you know,
for the listeners out there, man, I want to know
the story too. Of course I know a lot of
the backstory, but hearing it from you guys, it's kind
of two different things out there. But I love the
fact you guys kind of just roll those Dice went
to Nashville just a few years ago, and you know,
you're like, you know what, we believe in ourselves. We're
gonna cash in our chips and we're gonna get up
(01:13):
there and write music and form this thing called Lake.
You take me on this ride, Jesse. We'll start with you.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, I mean we met probably I don't know, fifteen
years ago. We were touring doing playing in different rock
and metal bands, and we just became friends.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
And over the.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Years, I ended up moving to Pittsburgh and me and
Luke live together and we worked together, and we just
started writing songs together. And those songs have now, you know,
taken us to Nashville, and we had a dream to
do something a little bit bigger for ourselves than just
what we were doing in Pittsburgh. And you know, it was
(01:48):
a hard It's been a hard six seven years of
working multiple jobs and selling equipment and all these things
just to pay our rent so we could go on
tour and write these music, pay.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
For these recordings.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
But you know, it's beautiful to be on the other
side of it, you know, just put out the debut
album and seeing everybody connecting with it and seeing the
fan base grow, and you know, even just being able
to be here and talk to you and it's just it's.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Just surreal at some points for me and Luke for sure.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
And luc let's talk about that, man. I love it.
This is a blue collar country.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Man.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I love that slogan.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
You guys are going by too, because you guys can
really relate to people out there, I mean, the common workers.
You know, we just kind of come off this election
here now, and for everybody out there that has those
day jobs that you know, scratches, claws and digs their
way to the top every time, no matter what a
lot of occupation they have. This is music that a
lot of people can relate to talk about just kind
of where that came from, that mentality of blue collar country.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
A lot of people don't know this, but like you know,
as much as me and Jess here songwriters, we dug
we write a thousand souls.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well, we dug about.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
Three times as many holes in Rocky Top, Tennessee to
make this thing work. And a lot of people out
there don't really get the thing thanks for you know,
their day to day jobs and doing what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Well, we live that, you know, we lived.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
That life where we've been on the side of the
road building stuff for rich folks and doing things that
never get to thank you, you know, putting your hands
in dart. Everybody says, well, builds a lot of character.
And I think that we build enough character for about
twenty people now. And I know there's a lot of
folks out there that do the same thing day and
day out, and they don't see the light at the
end of the tunnel. Just know that, you know, we
(03:27):
want people to know that that there that is a
light at the end of the tunnel there too. You know,
like there's a lot of pride that that comes in
that work that that we don't necessarily always get from
even being songwriters and musicians. We don't get that same pride.
And I think living the life that we lived coming
up as blue collar guys and learning the trades. We
(03:50):
just want to pass that along and see that live
on and and that's why we do this, and that's
why we're blue collar Country. We want to have something
that everybody's proud to roll the windows down in their
truck and blasted on the way home or way to work.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Let's talk about those, you know, like I said that
social media, how big an impact that is for everybody
out there, for all artists who you just type in
somebody's name, and how streaming has has changed it for
you guys, and really did on social media, that mean,
grown like two thousand percent on Instagram and like another
three million percent on TikTok in the past twelve months.
And I mean just those those those hits we talked about,
those old country hits.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Home Team.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
We're gonna play here a little bit too, but just
how fast things that are out there. And if a man,
you know, Jesse, people can relate to that type of sound,
you know, social media is going to really just kind
of take a stance and say, man, we love this music.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Talk about that for me.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, I mean we used you know, being being musicians
for a long time. You know, we grew up writing
and playing shows and touring and doing all this stuff
kind of before the Internet, so it was so much
harder back then. You know, we'd have to go on
tour and play it to nobody and go to the
mall and try and force people to come to the
(05:00):
shows and build a fan base that way. So I'm
grateful that we have that backbone and that that drive
and that work ethic built into what we do, but
super thankful for the Internet just because of the sheer
ease of reaching as many people as we possibly can.
I mean, it all kind of started with Loser back
(05:20):
a couple of years ago. We put that song out
and me and look, we're like, we just want to
put this song out like this is I know it's
a little heavier and I know it's a little different.
But and the second we did that, i mean, within
twenty four hours, it was there was millions of people
watching it and sharing it, and we were like, okay, cool,
all right, let's do another one that we you know,
put out Son of a And it just kind of
(05:41):
the ball kept rolling and we were like, Okay, we're
not crazy. There's a crowd for this, and there's an
audience for this, and you know, we're super grateful to
have to have the crew that we have now and
the people that love what we do.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
It's it's awesome.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Latino is awesome as a song that gets over thirty
five and streams and counting. We'll get to play right
here off the debut album leg View. It's called home Team.
Here it is KK two C True Country ninety nine
point nine stick two coming right back.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
This is for that good old boys knee deep in
that concrete working sixty years because he's saving for a
diamond ring. This is far that single mom that's working

Today's Best Country Mix Right there o KKTC True Country
ninety nine point nine. Back here with the guys, Luke
and Jesse Lake. Uh, thirty five million streams and you
know what, still counting. And look, I got to go
back to this. What a song? What an anthem? And
if it's not already I was talking to you guys
about this before the show. This is gonna get in
(10:12):
some professional locker room. It's not already we talked about Uh,
you guys could ever imagine this thing would have taken
off the way it has and the public would really
resonate with this. But I mean, man, being a sports
fan myself, I'm always for that home team.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Right, that's right?
Speaker 7 (10:27):
Yeah, it's actually the Dallas Stars picked this song up
and they come out. They came out to it all
last season. They came out to home team when they
would play a home game, which was massive for us.
It was kind of kind of hurt a little bit
because we're we're Penn's fans, We're Penguins fans, and uh,
you know, it's it'd be amazing to have the Pittsburgh
(10:48):
Steelers pick it up.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
But we'll, we'll.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
We're happy that a lot of these minor league teams
have been picking up a lot of a lot of
kids walking out to it, you know, up the bat.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
And and they're little league games.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
And I think a lot of people just in day
to day life, they like, Man, every day I go
and I'm just dragging my way to work, I always
throw on home team, And I think that's just what
it's for. Man, That's that's what we wrote it for.
And we wrote that song after a twelve hour day
and we weren't even coherent by the time we finished, right,
And that's song. This The next morning, at five thirty
(11:23):
in the morning on the way to work, we were like,
my holy crap, man, this song is pretty good. So
I'm glad to see it get motivated motivate a lot
of people in a couple of teams actually picking it up.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Man, it's really awesome.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
It's a great song with doubt. It's an antem like
I said, when you first start listening to it, man,
it's that rock and kind of feel to it, and
just the drums hit you know what you're getting right
there too, and you just bring people to their feet
out there too. So definitely being a hockey fan myself too,
love to watch professional hockey there too, and it's just great,
like you said, to come out on the ice and
the skates and sticks and really get the crowd just
kind of ripped up there too.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
You know.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I love this one too. Wrong side of the track
it's on the album again, our guest here on KKTC
True Country ninety nine point nine and Jesse. There couldn't
have been another better, just great song to pick on
this album then that wrong side of the track.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, man, we h that song is one of our favorites.
We we ended up writing it with our friends that
we wrote a home team with actually same group of guys,
and we just wanted something that kind of had that
little like an earworm, like you couldn't get out of
your head, almost had like a nursery rhyme kind of
vibe to it, and uh yeah, I mean we're we're
(12:30):
super stoked to have that be like the single on
the album, and it's really awesome to see people connect
with it and love it. And it's not as heavy
as Home Team obviously, but uh, you know, Lakeview has many, many,
many different sides to it, and uh, we're super stoked
that the album was able to come out and people
were able to see, you know, the different types of
stuff that we're that we love to do and that
(12:52):
we're able to do.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Well.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I love this one and it tells a story too.
This one's just a really cool title for a song.
And I gotta get you guys really depending on this
because I love the writing and just the lyrics in
this one talking about telling a story. So let's go here, Luke.
I never we all we've all had bad dates, but
we love beer. We love drinking. We've all had party nights.
But so I guess a bad day to be a beer.
That one right there too. That had to be just
(13:15):
one of your fun songs to record, right.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh for sure? Man, Yeah, that that song.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Uh, I think we were out on a golf course
and that we had that that just struck a chord
with me, and I'm like, man, this is one of
the best days we had in a long time. And
I think I've heard some other folks say, like in passing,
some older old timers, like man, it's a bad day
to be a beer and uh So that just kind
of resonated with us like.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Quite a bit.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
A few times we'd catch ourselves saying that term, you know,
and it's like, wow, this is a first good day
we had in a while. But man, it's a bad
day to be a beer. And we came home and
wrote that song and uh yeah, we we just had
so much fun with that song, just using using real
life situations that we've been in. Uh and and some
(14:01):
just let them, you know a little bit with your imagination,
wonder with that and just to have fun with that
and try to get people on their feet, like you
were saying, just like home team. But this that one there, man,
that's a party song. Man, we want to get people
up out of their seats and partying.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I love it too, the titles and this is pretty
cool too, see me in a suit. So it's one
of Gill's top streaming songs. Jes let's talk about this one.
I thought this was just another great title and that
kind of you know, that whole background, that early two thousands,
that pop and kind of that rocked aim you know
country too. This was just another one of those kind
of fangers.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Yeah, oh thanks man.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
The Seeing the Suit's another awesome one that we also
wrote with the dudes that we did in Home Team
with and yeah, I mean it just comes from like, uh,
it was actually something that Luke's uncle would say all
the time, and he would say, you know, the next
time you see me in the suit, it's gonna be
in my funeral, and and just the image of that
of like we were like, oh, maybe we should write
(14:57):
it about that, and then we were like, no, it's
a you know, we should write it more about out
like I'm not going to change, you know, And I
think it goes well with the blue collar country folks
and the people the Home Team and the people that
like that are fans of ours. Is like these are hardworking,
you know, maybe stubborn, you know, just like us, and uh,
you know.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
We're not going to change for nobody, and no one's
going to.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Tell us how to live our life and how to
how to speak. And it's just kind of it kind
of just speaks to that no.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Doubt too again.

slam of music and sports out there too. All right, Jess,
we got to talk about it, man, because I love
(19:20):
it what I know now, it really tells a story,
just like all the music goes on this album here too.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
What's a little backstory of this one?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Yeah, we just, uh, we thought the idea of like
I think we're all constantly saying, like, man in hindsight,
you know, Hindsight's twenty twenty, and I think that's something
we've we've all said probably a million times, and there's
probably a lot of relationships and things that we've done
and where currently you know, present day, you're like man,
(19:48):
I wish I would have knew then what I know now,
And it just, uh, once we landed on that hook,
it was just it kind of wrote itself. It was
it was just felt kind of familiar, and uh, it
was just a fun song to write.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I love it And that's the beauty of music and
everything didn't have to be a hit, but out there
too a lot of the streams and if it tells
a story again that the whole point about it is
storytelling what's great about country music. And I love the
fact you guys have been supporting out there. Some of
those top artists too. We've talked to here on the program,
you know, looking back at Luke, I mean, Mitchell Tenpenny
and Chase Matthew Breaking, Benjamin Leonard Skinner, Cameron Marlow, Struggle
(20:21):
Jennings who had her in the program, just box office names.
What's that meant to you guys to just share the
stage and you know, kind of learn from those guys
and kind of watch those shows and you know, take
something maybe from from that, kind of like going back
to school a little bit, pulled something from their show,
incorporated into your own, and then of course you just
kind of have fun on the road out there supporting
those big acts.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
It's unbelievable and moments, you know, like being out on
the road was Stained. That was like one of the
first bands I've ever worked for. I always had a
second job my whole life, and a lot of times
it was stage handing for bigger shows.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Same with Leonard Skinner.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
So to get the work for those bands when you're
a kid and get the obvious, so grow up on
that stuff and listen to them and then be able
to share the stage as as as you would say,
as like peers on a on a tour or on
a on a show. It's just it's it's unbelievable, man,
It's it's it's hard. It's still it's still kind of
(21:16):
hard for both of us to even wrap our heads
around this stuff. You know, we just you never foresee
it really making it past your front door sometimes when
you're out there working your ass off every day. So
it's it's really tough, man, Uh to put it in
the words, how it makes me feel. And Mitchell Tempenny
became a great friend to us. Same with Chase Matthew Man.
(21:37):
These guys are just like the salt of the earth.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Man.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
They're they're truly good men, and they're they're great songwriters.
And that's where we hit it off. Man, it's just
becoming friends and Hey, I want to come play a
couple of shows.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Heck, yeah, we do. What's the oh you know that's
the beautyful tone. I'm glad you guys said that. You
never kind of forecasted that. I didn't do that when
I started this radio show, you know, almost six years ago,
and looking at well over four un and fifty thousand
streams right now across all the platforms I'm on too,
and you just kind of dream big. You start somewhere
and the only person that's really going to invest in
you is yourself. And I think that's one of the
biggest things out there is you take that leap of faith,
(22:10):
and you know there's going to be some bad investments
along the way, some things that you're like, man, why
did I pay for that?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Do this?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
But you guys kind of stuck to your plan. And
I love this because you get I mean, the Nationville
Briefing behind you a lot Jesse and it's twenty five
artists to watch, and then you get such other great publications,
the Academy of Country music what we know now, I mean,
no pun intended. We're obsessed with lke view, which is
cool there too, So to bring that in and that
attention that you guys, you'd never asked for. That you
just kind of work your ass off and do what
you need to do. At the same time, I love
(22:36):
that because you can get all those pigtime media publications
behind you. What does that mean to you guys? Knowing
that you've worked for it and that blue collar mentality
is really definitely paying off for you guys.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Now, Yeah, I think we just kind of kind of
spent the last six years working with our heads down
and just kind of putting the blinders on, and we
felt a little resistance. We moved to town and we
just kind of were like, all right, well, if that's
the case, then we're just gonna keep on trucking along,
keep doing what we do because we're not really good
at anything else, so I might as well just keep
doing this. So it's been probably this year was the
(23:08):
first year that I felt like I picked my head
up a little bit and looked around and was like,
oh wow, it's you know, it's working, and like the
home team is growing and you know, we're showing up
the shows and there's three hundred people instead of ten,
you know, and it's like, Okay, we're connecting and things
are working, and it's just it's just a really awesome
(23:28):
place to be, you know, feeling like what you're doing
is just working and connecting with people.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
And you know, Luke, you'll have some great people behind you.
I've got to know a lot of the great folks
over at Greiserhouse talk about just the team behind you.
It's tough to you get out there and you know
much less. You know, plan a show and you know,
like I said, a set list and know what you're
going to sing when you get up there on stage
and rehearsal, sound check, things like that, and to get
out there just be mentally focused to play a show
for those hard fans, you know, hard working fans that
actually you know, off those tickets to come out there
(23:57):
and support you guys, and you know, sell merchandise. That
whole team from the merchandise to the sound people, to
the crew, to toer house to everybody to make this
thing a little old machine.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
To talk about that for me, yeah, we're so blessed
man at the nicest thing about the best part of
how this how how long this kind of took to
get going, was we got to make the right relationships
along the way. The people who stuck by our side
were like truly in it and believed it with us.
(24:28):
You know, they rode through that, they rode through the dirt,
you know, with us on this. And uh, that's you
know Riserhouse, that that's that's our manager. Uh, everybody, everybody's
losing their their butt with us on it.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
And uh we got.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
To curate that with them. We got to pick them
and they picked us. And and we're so lucky that
we got to be able to do that. And we
can't be more thankful. Uh that every single person, especially
ever at Riserhouse, like every single person in that office
goes to bat for us every single day. And it's
(25:02):
it's still blows my mind. I wake up and and
these people were out there working for to make this
a bigger and better thing.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
For more people to hear the songs.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
And that's the most important thing for the whole team,
everybody on the team, is we want people to hear
the songs. It's not really about me and Jesse looking
cool or being an award shows and crap like that.
We don't we we we appreciate that stuff, but we
don't care about that stuff. We want people to hear
the songs, man, And that's it's really cool that we
that we have this team with us.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
No doubt.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I gotta throw a little proper out there too. God,
you know him over the past few weeks. Quality guy
Matt Woodson too at the same time, great manager to
love it, great guy.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Yeah, absolutely, he's the best fantastitude.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
And let's talk about another and off there one of
my favorites too, which I loved money and I love
this one too because any song with that title on
there too when it comes down to money where your
mouth is? So we got to go here, Jesse, this
is one that is a banger and one that definitely
tells a story.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah think I think that's a you know, me and
Luke just being like, hey, if you don't like what
we do and you want to, you know, I want
to run your mouth a little bit and put your
money in my mouth.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Is you know.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Another really cool thing is that'ce you're a big sports guys.
The Dallas Stars again, they use home team last year,
but they use money where Your Mouth Is.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
This year we actually went, they flew us out.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
To Dallas and we did like a whole music video
thing and they so we're on the jumbo Tron and
I mean, it's it's it's absolutely insane that we got
to do something so cool like that with that song,
and it's I mean, it's so fitting for hockey.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
I mean it's ridiculous. So it's been cool.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Octane has really adopted us recently and serious has been
like playing that song so much. So it was really
cool this past fall when we were on tour with
Breaking Bend and stayed, we.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Would, you know, we'd be like, hey, this song is
called Money with Your Mouth? Does anyone know what it is?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
And you know, we're thinking, oh, people just know Home Team,
you know, because it has so many streams. But you know,
people were like raising their hands singing all the words.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
I mean, it was so awesome, it was so cool.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
So on one of our One of my favorite songs
to play live nowadays is definitely Money Where Mouth Is,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
No doubt, Tode.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
That's the beauty of country music out there too, is
the chance to play live, chance to play in front
of those fans and then, like I said, you know,
first step in the studio, make the magic, and then
bring the magic out there too to the live studio audience.
Another one off there too, off the debut album which
was man really good, just deep too. We've all been there, Man,
I love it too, Lucas rock Bottom, we got to
go there. Let's let's talk about that one.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Yeah, rock Bottom not manas Me, Jesse and our buddy
Quin write that song, and actually Tyler from Gideon too,
he helped us write some riffs on that song.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Yeah, that song just kind of speaks.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
Really personal to us because me and Jesse both have
lost relationships due to the fact that that we're not successful.
Say so, but you know, it's one of those things
like you're either true to it or or you're not.
So our lifestyle never really we never thought that. We
(28:13):
never thought we had to change our lifestyle. We we
party even with nothing. We keep things moving along. So yeah,
rock Bottom man Is is just a real song about Hey,
if someone can't party with nothing, you know, well, they're
probably not one of They're probably not a friend of mine.
So yeah, we keep it moving at the bottom. No
(28:36):
Ta we've all been there. And that's another one that
just tells a great story out there too. Again Lakeviewofficial
dot com or merchandise and everything out there too, and
of course the debut album that great title there lake View,
and of course Home Team kicks it off there too,
and it's just a great rendition. A lot of great
anthems on there too, a lot of great stories told
from this kick ass fan right here too, kicking ass
and taking names out there for all the great blue
collar country too.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
All right, we'll do a couple of final ones. You know,
I love now Ashville. Love all the different places out
there that you can eat out Jesse. There's so many places.
They just people want to dive into a certain cuisine.
You get a recommendation, which is fantastic. Talk to me
about some of you guys. Maybe it's on tour passing
through there, where you like to go eat, just kind
of hang out and maybe drink some beer and have
some good food.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
In Nashville.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah, I mean, we me and Luke have a very
specific place we always go to.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
It's not the nicest place in the world.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
It's not the fanciest joint, but man, it's got character
to it. You know, it's very lakeview, it's very blue collar.
It's a place called Santa Fe. It's like this tiny,
little weird chain. I think there's like three or four
of them in the country. Nice cheap steak, you know,
some hot rolls, a nice you know ice ice cold
dot coke.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
You know, it hits it hits good. So Santa Fe.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
If you're in Nashville and you're looking for a nice
place to bring your girlfriend, bringing a Santa Fe, It's
right next to the Opry, which is dope, and then
right next door to that is a really awesome bar
called the Scoreboard, which is a really which is really
awesome in place that me and Luke and all of
our friends, you know, we go to a lot. You know,
during COVID, they they have like an outdoor patio, so
(30:08):
they were able to like serve the community and keep
it moving. So I just love supporting those like locally owned, smaller,
smaller joints. So Scoreboard Santa Fe can't go wrong.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Baby gotta love that one too. At the same time,
and I'm right by the opportunity. We just finished a
nice string of shows here in the fall with WSAM,
the home of the Grand ol Lopery. So a lot
of cool things coming up there too, and just two
great joints to hang out at too. And like I said,
support local businesses, I'm all about that too. At the
same time, all right, I know football, I gotta threw
a little talking there too, because my team, actually, the
people always asking me i'd become a fan of them,
(30:39):
the Arizona Cardinals. They're having a winning season for the
first time in like three years. But I live in
Texas down here, and so for the Cowboy fans, they
pretty much have just written off the season which is
not going well. Quarterbacks hurting out too're gonna have some
season ending hamstring type of surgery where the muscle's coming
off the bone. But for you guys, I guess one
are good for both of you guys. Looke will start
there huge football fans and who, if so, who are
(31:01):
the teams?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (31:03):
Definitely I go for for my my hometown teams, the
Pittsburgh Steelers, uh all day. And then college I go
for Bama sometimes Florida too, but Alabama and UH. I
would definitely say what it's same for you, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Steelers all the way. Man, It's just it's it's the
(31:24):
Pittsburgh Steelers, man, And congratulations though that the Cardinals got
some winning, winning season going on here. Man, that's I've
been watching that. I was like, wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
That's been a while.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
You get a few first round picks and one or
two of those bands out and that guy Marvin Harrison
Junior is a freaking nature out there too. And I
guess Kyler finally just stayed healthy and had the freak
of the accident knee injury last year, so at some
point they were going to jail. What I liked about
it too, Jess, was it was always fun to see
that the former I guess the scouting guy, former front
office guy Maniosa for come over from the Detroit Lions,
(31:57):
and the Lions are just a good football team.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
Now.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I love what Pittsburgh's doing to at the same time
and how they really resurrected Russell Wilson's career. But you know,
for me, it's just really cool to see that, Like
every time you get somebody from a great organization, they
can bring that confidence in that culture, they can bring
that mentality over and I think that's what's made the
Cardinals better. And I think you get a little bit
of that rubbing off because Mike Tomlins such a good
coach with the Steelers.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Yeah for sure. Yeah, I think we actually talked about it.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
We love we love the we love the lines, and
actually I love the Bills too, just because they all
play like I feel like the Steelers and the Bills
and the Lines are like, it's like hard working.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
It's like blue collar football to me. That's what it
feels like.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
You know, it's not flashy, it's not the sexiest thing
on earth, but it's it's uh, you know, down in
dirty football.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
So yeah, Mike Tom.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Was the man like Asai, never had a losing season
and only with the third head coach in Pittsburgh Steelers
history behind Chuck Noll and of course the great Bill
Caler out there too.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Cow Power Baby.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Yeah, that was great winning seasons and of course a
winning duo right here, Lakeview across all those digital streaming
platforms out there, make sure you just keep those numbers rising,
and of course Lakeviewofficial dot com for more information, go
