of course our friend Clayairdclayair dot Com broadcasting from those
same Clay Airy studios out there. Well, I gotta ask
(01:27):
you first, will we dive into all the music and
get cute about all the songs and everything that's come out.
Talk about this because you're no stranger to these reality
music shows that have been out there, you know for
a while now too. You know, it's basically looking back
on it till you've got a lot of good experience
out there. I love these things like the Voice and Idol,
you've done some of those competitions too, but talk about
just your start and the love for country music too,
(01:48):
because it really showed it shows in your music of
the songs you put out, because I can really feel
the storytelling. Talk about just growing up around that, you know,
the fireplace, whatever, in church, the Christmas tree, putting on
tunes in the car. What did the bug bite tell
me about that?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Man?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I have an interesting story. You know.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Oftentimes you speak with artists and they're like, oh, at
five years old, I knew I was going to be
an artist. You know, they would sing in front of
the mirror, in front of the family and do all that.
That wasn't the case for me at all. I had
a totally different life, a family, a house. I was
taking care of the swimming pool, the lawn, fixing stuff
(02:30):
around the house, and I was a sales rep on
the road, listen to radio, never even thinking that I
could be on the radio one day. And but you know,
having humble beginnings, you know, my life as a child,
poverty and all that, I used a lot of my
imagination to make up for all the stuff I didn't have.
(02:51):
So I'm a very very creative guy. And so I
would just sing and write songs and sing original songs,
you know, in the in the shower, and people around
me would hear me, including my girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Who's now my wife, and she was like, it sounds great.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I mean, you have a great voice and there's something
you don't hear yourself singing. I was like, I'm not
an artist, I'm not a singer nothing. No, no, I
have a life and I don't want to do that.
But then on a Christmas she passed a hat in
the family and she bought me a sesshon a demo
session in a studio with some great players for me
(03:31):
to cut one of my songs. And back then I
thought it was the worst Christmas gift ever. I was like,
oh wow, what a great Christmas grif Christmas gift. But
you know, I went into studio. I went there with
my father in law, and I decided to do a
feel good country rock song. A title was I'll be
(03:53):
there rocking and rolling And here I am today rocking
and rolling. And it's just I needed that, and it's
it's been true in my life. Every time I say
I'm never gonna do something, I always always end up
doing it. And I guess because deep down inside, maybe
I knew it. I was maybe afraid. I don't know,
(04:16):
but yeah, I just needed that little push and it
from there, it's snowballed. A few months later, Uh, you know,
I was in Nashville, Uh, starting working with a Jimmy Nichols,
who was you know, presented to me by Tom Roach
and started working on some material. Then I released a
single single to shoot a music video in Jamaica that
(04:40):
was that was horrible.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
To shoot, I mean, and we caught.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Lightning in a bottle. The music video went viral, uh,
and everything snowballed from there. Then I moved to I
moved to Nashville, and I I really started my career
in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah. That's the beauty of it too, is you put
something out there, do you just never know where it's
going to go. I had the same kind of thoughts
on this particular show if I was gonna come back
and do this about six years ago, and now that
I wake up every day, I'm like, man, I do
sleep pretty decent at night, you know, looking back at it,
I'm like, this is pretty cool to take a ride,
you know, with you guys and just develop over time,
and you know, some stuff went viral and it's like, okay,
(05:22):
people like music shows and in the combination of sports
talk and stuff like that too. Hey, this lightest single.
I love it because this is just a fantastic Road
I'm On, which came out here just recently at the
end of twenty twenty four. Talk about this one because
I always love to hear the stories and the backstories
of these songs.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, when talk about this reforming all right, So the process,
you know, my process for songwriting is just, you know,
I will sit to grab my guitar, start fooling around
with a chord progression, and I really just let it out.
And for this one, it's really you know, I was
playing this chord progression and we're it's just come to me,
(06:01):
and you know, it feels like and I don't question
the process.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I really just let it out.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
And sometimes it's only halfway through the song where I realize, oh,
this song is about me. It's about my personal experience,
life experience, and that's what happened for a Road I'm On,
And you know.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It's really cool. Two.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
It's cool because it comes from me. It comes from
deep down inside. It's not you know, I don't have
a notepad with some hooks and where it's like an
agenda where I'm like, Okay, today I'm writing a song
about this, or I need to do a love song,
I need to write a ballad, I need to write
an uptempo song I need. It's not that, it's really
(06:51):
I sit down, I start singing and it just comes
out and I don't question it. And that's how Road
I'm On came about out and I really love it,
and it's and it's funny, you know, it's it's really
about my life story. Of course it's not exactly exactly
my life story, but pretty much it's pretty much my life.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
How do you take that from you know that this
great success there you mentioned, how do you take that
from the studio aspect of it and then take that
over and translate that to the live performances on stage
and talk about just the buzz the feel of performing
in front of a live audience.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Oh that it's a totally different thing.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
It is.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And it's funny because when I do write, and you know,
when I write a song and if I also think
about the live show and I just want people. So
that's why, you know, you can't really put me put Robbie,
you know, Robbie Johnson, You can't put me in a
box and say, oh this this is the sound and
(07:52):
that's what it is. So, you know, I do some
country more current, you know, pop, I do country rock,
I do traditional country. I also release some old sot
you know, Johnny Cash sounding country music, and.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I really love that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But you're right, it's totally different experience the studio to
performing the song live. And because when you're in the studio,
you know anything can happen.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It's very magical and you know, it's our baby.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
So we always see the songs and hear the songs
bigger than they actually are, and it's always like, oh,
this is the best song I ever recorded, and it's
gonna be huge, you know, And then you get the
master and you're like, oh, okay, I thought it would
have been you know something. And plus you don't have
a crowd in front of you singing back at you.
(08:49):
That's that's the craziest thing, you know, when you release
a song and it's very personal and you have people
that connect with the song and relate to it, and
they just sing the lyrics back at you.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
That's that's that's insane. That's really insane.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
So you have on one side of the studio where
it's it's the energy of the studio.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
It's it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You know, sometimes you witness great things happen in the studio.
You know, you sing a line and you kind of
made a mistake, but it ends up being what the
song needed. Or you witness a guitar player play an
amazing guitar solo and it's like, oh my god, I
witnessed this, so this is amazing. But it's it's it's
(09:37):
different and at the same time, the live it's the
best thing in the world.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I mean, it's the best feeling.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I have a few accomplishments in my career, but I
would say nothing tops being, you know, doing a live
show and being in the moment where you turn around
and you look at the band and you make eye
content and you know it's happening, and then you look
at the crowd and it's the same thing, and together
(10:06):
we're creating this magical moment and that's the best feeling
in the world.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
That's why I love live concerts, and that's why I
started this show many years back, and it's one of
the things to get out there and just do the
shows live on location, and that's the best part of
seeing you guys perform at your best artist. I call
it artists out there too what they do best, because
not everybody can do this thing called the music business
out there too and perform for a live audience and
(10:32):
do the things that you guys have to do. We're
gonna talk about obstacles here in a little bit and
some of the tough challenges you guys face as artists
here on the backstage past again powered by these sports guys,

Appreciate all the work the sponsors do out there too,
and they Cadencortshow dot com Today's best Country mix. So
(16:08):
you know what we mentioned. February seventh, it's out there.
The pre saved was yesterday now people can go enjoy
this one. And I love the whole redition in the
arrangement of this tg if.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Out all right, So that's another song, uh, you know,
talking about just letting the words out.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I was this one.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I was fooling on the piano with the chord progression
and I started singing, and instantly the melody was going
to you know, those words, and and I was like, oh,
thank god it's Friday. This fits perfectly, and started writing
song and and then I'm like, wow, this is this
is a love song. And starting the first verse, you know,
(16:46):
and I've been thinking about you know, spend the whole
week thinking about you and all those lines, and and
then it it has a twist. It's not about you know,
your partner. It's it's really uh a drink anthem. Whereas
thank god it's Friday because I can have more than
once and I don't work tomorrow morning, and.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
And I you know, I'm happy about it.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I've been getting lots of great comments on it, where
people love you know, all the double on Taunders and
all that, and where on first listen.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
They they have you know, like wait a minute, what
what is that? And then like okay, I.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Get it, and uh, it's it's fun and I hope
people enjoy it and connect with it. And that's that's
why I love country music so much. Uh, you know,
country music it's about everyday life and it happens that
a lot of people love to drink beer.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
So it's not something you could do and in all the.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You know, music genres, but in country music, it's you know,
it's authentic, it's genuine. So people love Friday nights and
drink beer or you know, shooting whiskey and doing all that.
So I mean that's that's why this song can happen.
So I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah, you should be. And I'll tell you this, man,
you actually took me back to some of that nineties
country with that song. Was that kind of the whole
you know, point of that to kind of get that
feel of that nineties country because you really tell a
story in that that's what it's all about connected with people,
And it did for me.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yeah, And I mean I love nineties country of course.
You can see the influence right there.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
And it's funny because I got to say a few
years ago, when I first came, you know, to Nashville
working on my project. This is where I was going
to and I had on this project, I had lots
of fiddle steel guitar because I cut a bunch of
songs that never got released. And I remember going on
a radio tour and PD's telling me, oh, we don't
(18:51):
play fiddle anymore, you know, on Gold Records it's it's okay,
but any new songs, no fiddle, no steal.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It was out and I was like, whoa wait a minute.
I came.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I moved to Nashville to make you know, thank God
it's Friday, you know, those kind of songs, and it
wasn't possible.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
So I'm so happy that it it.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
You know, it went a direction and now it's coming
back and it's it's it's open wide right now.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
So it's it's I'm really happy about this.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I'm so thankful for all the guys that brought back
you know, that nineties sound and uh yeah, so now
I can't release a song like thank God It's Friday,
and you know, enjoy doing it live because that's the
music that you know, that's why I love country music.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
So yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Talked a lot about songwriting and just the journey you've
been on too to get to Nashville to put out
this this style of music, that Robbie Johnson style of music.
But a lot of fans may or may not most
most likely may not see some of the challenges that
go on, you know, behind the scenes of just beating
an artist and the work that goes on from the
teams and the managers, the publicists, all the camps are
people that it takes me and obviously will a great
one here for this particular show, because you can't do
(20:06):
it all by yourself. Some terms, I feel like you can,
but then you get kind of stuck in a rut
and you're like, I gotta call a team never to
fix or do this. Talk about just what that means
to have a team behind you and then some of
the obstacles and challenges you face as an artists.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, I mean, you do need a team behind you.
You need some people that root for you. And that's
what's great about Nashville. You know, when they hear and
see talent, they get behind you. And it's not because
they want to get, you know, money out of it.
It's just because they're passionate. They're passionate about good music,
and they get behind you. So that's great. And at
(20:39):
the same time, uh, Nashville. You know, they have a
strong hand on a lot of things. So if you're
if you're not with the right people, it's tough to
break through.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You know, back in the day when I did the
radio tour and all that, you know, pds were explaining
to me it's hard for us to play in India
artists because then we get a call from a major
label saying, hey, how come you're not playing my new guy.
You know, this artist, this major artist is going to
be touring in your city, you know, and we're wondering,
(21:14):
you know, if we're gonna be sending you some advertisement,
you know, for the show. So it was all you know,
it's it's like, oh my god, okay. And and today,
you know, with the streaming, the thing is what's tough.
You're you're an indie artist. You get out there and
and you release a song and you get some decent
(21:37):
streams and all that, and you're really proud. And but
then you got a new guy, another guy who signed
with a major label and they they acquired all the
independent major playlists that existed, and they curate those playlists now.
So before when Spotify, you know, when it started, you
(21:59):
had those huge play that you could send your song
to the owner of the playlist and he might add
you if he liked the song. But now those big
playlists are all owned by major labels and companies, and
so there's no way for me to get on those playlists.
But this artist, that's just sign a new artist. He
(22:19):
gets a song on there and he gets you know,
one hundred thousand streams in an instant just because of that.
So it's like it's generating hype that I can't have.
So people when they look at this, it's you know,
they see, oh, well, this guy's doing great, but Robbie's
(22:40):
not doing as great as this guy. But it's because
we're not playing on the same field kind of thing.
So that's that's an obstacle I would say in the
music if people rely on streams to determine if an
artist is hot or not, then it's it's tough.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
It's tough. It I just hope people just listen to
the music.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You know, we're only on to the first quarter now
of the year, just kind of getting into it right
now for this new year. I always talk about long
term aspirations and goals and things that you guys have
kind of set aside. You're like, I want to accomplish this,
and you kind of make that list almost like journaling.
Sometimes you check those boxes a little bit about this
on this day, this on this day. But ultimately, as
we say, sometimes you know, God can put his hand
(23:24):
on it. He's the one that has the ultimate control
on kind of whining if things occur. And talk about
that and just some of the goals that you guys
as a team for Robbie Johnson have set aside for
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Totally, I'm totally in line with your what you just said.
You know, it's having a major hit becoming you know,
it's it's a miracle. It really is a miracle. It's
it's not something that you can fabricate. It's not something
that I mean, yes, you have to, you know, hang
(23:56):
in there and keep going at it and pursuing that dream.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Of course you have to do that. But it's not
you by yourself that will make it happen. That's that's
that's not true.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
It's it's you know, you got to have lots of luck,
the timing, and there's so many things that need to align.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
That is it's greater than than than you. You're totally
right on that.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
And but so the goals for me that you checkboxes
is is really to keep on releasing some great music.
I'm you know, I'm I've been in the studio tracking
and you know, working on some songs. I was, you know,
mixing a song earlier before the interview. I want to
release some new music for CRS so that people could
(24:43):
listen to new music that what's coming up. And it's
it's really to just keep doing that and also looking
forward to get on the road and performing live because
like I said earlier, it's the best feeling in the world. Nothing,
nothing tops that. And and I got to say, you know,
fans and people, they they make it happen. They're they're
(25:05):
the real stars of the show, you know. And I
keep saying this over and over. You know, if if
I'm on a stage by myself, my guitar and I
sing my lungs out, nothing happens. Really nothing happens. It's
only if there's a crowd in front of me that
something happens. And they they make it happen, and and
(25:25):
they are part of the show. They're not just witnessing
a show. They're a part of it. They're the reason
there's a show. There's something, it's because they are there.
So it's it's really important. I'm really thankful, you know,
every time there's a crowd and they're cheering, singing, singing
along and doing all that giving some energy, we give
(25:45):
some energy back. I mean, it's it's really it really
is a teamwork. And so I'm very thankful for that,
and I'm looking forward to living those moments, creating those moments.
Speaker 2 (25:56):

let's go to this one. I loved it a great
title so much. Here Robbie Johnson, we got to talk
about that song more than you think.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yes, it's a song that, just like the others, came out.
I just let it out.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
And it's about my grandparents, my grandfather Leo, and you
know it's important. It's a song about your grandparents are
there and they might think they're not doing much, but
they make a huge difference in your life.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
And you know, there are role models. You pick up stuff.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
You know, you look, you look up to them and
they teach you so many things without them even knowing it.
So the song was kind of a way to say
thank you and pay tribute to my grandparents who did
so much for me without knowing it. They were so
great growing up, like I said, in poverty. Uh and
(33:18):
and they were you know, eight hours away, and I
mean they worked multiple jobs. They would send clothes, they
would send shoes, they would send some money for us
and do the best they could.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
They would.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
They would we would go there for Christmas and it
would it was always the best Christmas ever. You know,
it would compensate for the for the rest of the year.
And I mean they were great and we I mean
we spent When I was a child, I would spend
all my summers at my grandparents' house and my grandfather
(33:53):
was a janitor of the school and church both were
attached together. So we would spend the day in the
gymnasium of the school, have some fun, play some sports.
Also there was a piano. We you know, play some
music and have a great time. He would let us
ring the bells at noon. So that was that was pretty.
(34:13):
That was that was cool, great memories and they were
great people. So looking looking back, my grandmother she was
she was an entertainer, so I kind of have what
I kind of have that from her. I guess you
know where I like to be at the center and
(34:35):
entertain people.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
So yeah, they were great.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Well you got that gift. And thanks to all the
grandparents of what they do out there too. I was
so close to mine, lost her a few years ago,
but she lived to that just a great age of
ninety four.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
She was like to me, and I tell you what,
it was a lot of guide it and a lot
of wisdom and things that we take lightly when we're
in those what teens, twenties and early thirties and look
back you're like, yep, well they were going to grow
up get gray hair. If people can't see it right
now to listening on the radio side of it. But hey,
it's all a part of wisdom, getting wise and all
that good stuff. Hey, I want to ask you about
another good record. I love it too, because this was
(35:11):
just some good Talholme country music for me alive right now,
that particular album and if I ever was a cowboy,
I really caught my attention off that record too. Let's
dive into this in the whole project.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Yeah, so that's really and it's funny talking about my grandparents.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
I remember, you know, being I guess I was maybe
fifteen or sixteen, and my grandparents, you know, they had
a huge garden and my grandmother one time she was like,
go go pick an onion. I was like no, it's
like why and I was like, because I will love
it too much. This is the life I would love
(35:50):
to have, so it's going to be more painful than
you know, fun to do it.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
And it was weird. But I grew up, you know,
wanting to be.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Like a cowboy, but you know, close to the land,
you know, farming or ranching or whatnot.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
But I wanted to do that growing up.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
So this song it's really you know, it was kind
of a dream, you know, if I ever was a cowboy,
h this is what I would do and I wanted to.
I'm happy that it's a cowboy song, but not not
the negative cowboy, you know, the one that's always gone
at the bar, drinking, cheating and doing you know, never
(36:31):
getting into a relationship and breaking hearts. So it's really
a song about the good cowboys, you know, that work
hard for their family, their every Sunday, they're on the
church pew and you know, and their kids look up
to them.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
So that's what this song is about. And I really
love the song.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
It's it's approaching the million streams on Spotify, so it's
it's doing really well, and it's on it's on Spotify
traditional Country playlist, which is so cool, and I'm so
I mean, I'm so thankful to be you know, amongst
the great country you know, more traditional country artists, you know,
Cody Johnson, Justin More and George Street and all these
(37:17):
incredible artists.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
So it's it's it's really cool.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
And I want to get your thoughts on this. I
got to always play props to the ladies out there too, man,
because this has been so cool to see. Uh, so
many great ladies on fire. Takes me back to nineties
country when name after name we could just list them.
I mean A to Z right now with Landy Wilson
and so many others, you know, kicking ass out there
doing their thing. I love it because this is really
a good time for country music to be artists, because
(37:44):
this is a healthy industry right now, especially what the
ladies are doing too.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Oh yeah, totally totally different.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
I mean, and it's it's really great to see more
and more, you know, female artists that cut through and
get airplay and and and I mean they're great songwriters.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
They are great songwriters, and we can hear it and
you know, heart like a truck, and I mean all.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
These songs, Megan Maroney, I mean, they all have these
huge hits, and it's really cool to have that. And
I mean it's lots of great duets are happening. That's
that's that's fun. That's I mean, it's it is a
good time for country music and female artists.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
You know. The best thing is I love doing the
show getting to discover great talent like yourself too. That's
why the the milestones have been there. And he's got
so many more man to achieve, and this his career
just kind of getting underway out there. Robbie Johnson here
on the backstage past again, empowered by the sports guys
of the podcasts dot Com. Kudos to you, my friend,
for all the great stuff that has happened so far.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
Too.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
I gotta get into some fun stuff here because we'll
do more of this. You know, I see you in
person here at CRS for that week and all that
good stuff. But uh, you know, the best thing is,
I love this question just comes out of nowhere. And
I had our good friend, one half of the great
group sugar Land, Christian Bush, came on here a few
weeks ago and we got to talking about just some
random stuff. And rarely has in an interview a conversation
(39:12):
has come up about someone's beard, like on the face,
like just the beard growing us a Christian, You've got
a great beard. You remind me so much of WWE
Chief Content Officer trip H Paul Leveck, who's doing stuff
out there too. I love watching it it's just fun
of watching since I was a kid, even when they
changed from WWF to WWE. Not sure if you were
(39:33):
a fan. But my question is if you could wrestle
anybody in country music and they teach you. And I
posed this to Christians, so this would be a great
CRS question. So we got it from him. I'm giving
him props out there and credit for it. If we
do like a backstage past first wrestling event in Nashville,
put the ring out there, yeah, some you know, some
people to come down to do some choreography, teach you
(39:54):
guys what you need to know out there to step
into a ring and do it. And I can see it.
Broad asked to get somebody do it, and we get
some television sponsors behind this, we can we can turn
this into something. Who would you wrestle? Move Uh?
Speaker 3 (40:08):
I think I would wrestle and I'm sorry cut off
a little bit. I wrestle a country artist.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yeah, a country artist or a tag match with a band.
I mean yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
Think I would wrestle Jelly Roll.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
That would be a great because he's he's also a
great show man, and I can't I can only imagine
the speech he'd be doing in that mic before.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
The fight or after the fight.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
You know, he's he's he's such a great entertainer, and
I think it would be a lot of fun, you
know with Jelly Roll and uh, you know, I can
imagine me jumping from the ropes thinking I would smash
him to the ground and I would just bounce off
of it, fall down and that'd be and that'd be
that'd be the end of the fight.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
That'd be funny.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
I love it too. And then like a finishing move,
would it be the elbow from the top rope? A
stone cold stunner?
Speaker 9 (41:06):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Pedigree? What what finishing movie talking about?
Speaker 7 (41:10):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (41:11):
I think I think I think he would grab me
and just do the the hammer.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Drop that keep dropping our Max Robbie Johnson versus Jelly Roll,
our mass plight here the backstage pass the wrestling event
in Nashville, Tennessee. Hey, I'm working on this. I just
want to see if this can happen. I'm gonna work
on this. Call some people, my people, call them, see
if we put this together. But I think it's a
great idea and I, hey, Christian Bush will sit beside
(41:40):
me to broadcast with me if we get this to
ever happen.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
So I'm just I mean, it's a it's a great idea,
something we're.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
Thinking about to spotkings. You finished in Email me, DM
me on Facebook. All the good stuff out there. We'd
love to have you talk more about this great idea.
All right, Nashville, the hot chicken debate continues. I know,
for me, every time I go, you gotta get the stuff.
It's mild. For me, I'm kind of weak on it.
And not everybody's a hot chicken fan. I get it.
But I love Hattie Bees on Broadway. It's just one
of my favorite ones. You know, I've only had a couple.
(42:09):
Princess is my second favorite. I've not tried. But I
want to kind of get the gist of this. But
are you a hot chicken fan? It's so what your place?
Speaker 3 (42:19):
I'm more mild too.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
But it's funny because when we first moved to Nashville,
my family, we knew nothing about Nashville Hot Chicken. You know,
we thought it was just name, you know, just a
flashy name. And so we went, we go to this
barbecue place and we get the hot chicken, not knowing
it's the chicken that's hot. So we're sitting there, we're
(42:43):
eating it, as like, oh my god, this sauce is
very spicy. So we go to the counter and we
ask for some mild sauce, you know, something that's less spicy,
and they give us some sauce. And then and then
we keep on eating that chick and our lips are tingling,
you know, it's really hot. And then I look at
the sign. I'm like, oh my god, hot chicken. Guys,
(43:05):
it's the chicken. It's already spicy, that's what it is.
So I asked a question. It was like, yeah, it
was invented in Nashville, you know. And they told us
a little story behind the hot chicken. And yes, but
I'm not I'm not a Hatabes is really good, but
I'm not a hot hot My son is. He liked
(43:26):
the more it's hot, the better, But for me, no,
my daughter's pretty uh it's pretty spicy too.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
But I do the mile.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
I like that because I start I start sweating, I
start sweating and everything just yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Yeah, instead of meat sweats, they call it chicken Sweats's
when they call it up there. Heard that tournaments up
there too. We get judged to travel up there for
CRS week, of course, a week we love that every summer,
always a great week to bring out all the great
radio people and the great artist too at the same time.
All right, we'll finish with this one. If probably John
yess it was not a working musician. What other career path?
What do you have taken?
Speaker 9 (44:04):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (44:06):
At one point I was thinking of being a doctor.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
I'm really good at you know, I have a good
sense of observation all that, and I can find solutions
to problems. So I was pretty good, you know, biology
and all that, and or maybe a mechanical engineer.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Like that, you know what. Hey always the need for
both of those careers too, But you know what he chose, right,
country music artist, Nashville recording artists. They'll leave it at that.

of course our friend Clayairdclayair dot Com broadcasting from those
same Clay Airy studios out there. Well, I gotta ask
(01:27):
you first, will we dive into all the music and
get cute about all the songs and everything that's come out.
Talk about this because you're no stranger to these reality
music shows that have been out there, you know for
a while now too. You know, it's basically looking back
on it till you've got a lot of good experience
out there. I love these things like the Voice and Idol,
you've done some of those competitions too, but talk about
just your start and the love for country music too,
(01:48):
because it really showed it shows in your music of
the songs you put out, because I can really feel
the storytelling. Talk about just growing up around that, you know,
the fireplace, whatever, in church, the Christmas tree, putting on
tunes in the car. What did the bug bite tell
me about that?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Man?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I have an interesting story. You know.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Oftentimes you speak with artists and they're like, oh, at
five years old, I knew I was going to be
an artist. You know, they would sing in front of
the mirror, in front of the family and do all that.
That wasn't the case for me at all. I had
a totally different life, a family, a house. I was
taking care of the swimming pool, the lawn, fixing stuff
(02:30):
around the house, and I was a sales rep on
the road, listen to radio, never even thinking that I
could be on the radio one day. And but you know,
having humble beginnings, you know, my life as a child,
poverty and all that, I used a lot of my
imagination to make up for all the stuff I didn't have.
(02:51):
So I'm a very very creative guy. And so I
would just sing and write songs and sing original songs,
you know, in the in the shower, and people around
me would hear me, including my girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Who's now my wife, and she was like, it sounds great.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I mean, you have a great voice and there's something
you don't hear yourself singing. I was like, I'm not
an artist, I'm not a singer nothing. No, no, I
have a life and I don't want to do that.
But then on a Christmas she passed a hat in
the family and she bought me a sesshon a demo
session in a studio with some great players for me
(03:31):
to cut one of my songs. And back then I
thought it was the worst Christmas gift ever. I was like,
oh wow, what a great Christmas grif Christmas gift. But
you know, I went into studio. I went there with
my father in law, and I decided to do a
feel good country rock song. A title was I'll be
(03:53):
there rocking and rolling And here I am today rocking
and rolling. And it's just I needed that, and it's
it's been true in my life. Every time I say
I'm never gonna do something, I always always end up
doing it. And I guess because deep down inside, maybe
I knew it. I was maybe afraid. I don't know,
(04:16):
but yeah, I just needed that little push and it
from there, it's snowballed. A few months later, Uh, you know,
I was in Nashville, Uh, starting working with a Jimmy Nichols,
who was you know, presented to me by Tom Roach
and started working on some material. Then I released a
single single to shoot a music video in Jamaica that
(04:40):
was that was horrible.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
To shoot, I mean, and we caught.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Lightning in a bottle. The music video went viral, uh,
and everything snowballed from there. Then I moved to I
moved to Nashville, and I I really started my career
in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah. That's the beauty of it too, is you put
something out there, do you just never know where it's
going to go. I had the same kind of thoughts
on this particular show if I was gonna come back
and do this about six years ago, and now that
I wake up every day, I'm like, man, I do
sleep pretty decent at night, you know, looking back at it,
I'm like, this is pretty cool to take a ride,
you know, with you guys and just develop over time,
and you know, some stuff went viral and it's like, okay,
(05:22):
people like music shows and in the combination of sports
talk and stuff like that too. Hey, this lightest single.
I love it because this is just a fantastic Road
I'm On, which came out here just recently at the
end of twenty twenty four. Talk about this one because
I always love to hear the stories and the backstories
of these songs.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, when talk about this reforming all right, So the process,
you know, my process for songwriting is just, you know,
I will sit to grab my guitar, start fooling around
with a chord progression, and I really just let it out.
And for this one, it's really you know, I was
playing this chord progression and we're it's just come to me,
(06:01):
and you know, it feels like and I don't question
the process.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I really just let it out.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
And sometimes it's only halfway through the song where I realize, oh,
this song is about me. It's about my personal experience,
life experience, and that's what happened for a Road I'm On,
And you know.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It's really cool. Two.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
It's cool because it comes from me. It comes from
deep down inside. It's not you know, I don't have
a notepad with some hooks and where it's like an
agenda where I'm like, Okay, today I'm writing a song
about this, or I need to do a love song,
I need to write a ballad, I need to write
an uptempo song I need. It's not that, it's really
(06:51):
I sit down, I start singing and it just comes
out and I don't question it. And that's how Road
I'm On came about out and I really love it,
and it's and it's funny, you know, it's it's really
about my life story. Of course it's not exactly exactly
my life story, but pretty much it's pretty much my life.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
How do you take that from you know that this
great success there you mentioned, how do you take that
from the studio aspect of it and then take that
over and translate that to the live performances on stage
and talk about just the buzz the feel of performing
in front of a live audience.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Oh that it's a totally different thing.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
It is.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And it's funny because when I do write, and you know,
when I write a song and if I also think
about the live show and I just want people. So
that's why, you know, you can't really put me put Robbie,
you know, Robbie Johnson, You can't put me in a
box and say, oh this this is the sound and
(07:52):
that's what it is. So, you know, I do some
country more current, you know, pop, I do country rock,
I do traditional country. I also release some old sot
you know, Johnny Cash sounding country music, and.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I really love that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But you're right, it's totally different experience the studio to
performing the song live. And because when you're in the studio,
you know anything can happen.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It's very magical and you know, it's our baby.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
So we always see the songs and hear the songs
bigger than they actually are, and it's always like, oh,
this is the best song I ever recorded, and it's
gonna be huge, you know, And then you get the
master and you're like, oh, okay, I thought it would
have been you know something. And plus you don't have
a crowd in front of you singing back at you.
(08:49):
That's that's the craziest thing, you know, when you release
a song and it's very personal and you have people
that connect with the song and relate to it, and
they just sing the lyrics back at you.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
That's that's that's insane. That's really insane.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
So you have on one side of the studio where
it's it's the energy of the studio.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
It's it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You know, sometimes you witness great things happen in the studio.
You know, you sing a line and you kind of
made a mistake, but it ends up being what the
song needed. Or you witness a guitar player play an
amazing guitar solo and it's like, oh my god, I
witnessed this, so this is amazing. But it's it's it's
(09:37):
different and at the same time, the live it's the
best thing in the world.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I mean, it's the best feeling.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I have a few accomplishments in my career, but I
would say nothing tops being, you know, doing a live
show and being in the moment where you turn around
and you look at the band and you make eye
content and you know it's happening, and then you look
at the crowd and it's the same thing, and together
(10:06):
we're creating this magical moment and that's the best feeling
in the world.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
That's why I love live concerts, and that's why I
started this show many years back, and it's one of
the things to get out there and just do the
shows live on location, and that's the best part of
seeing you guys perform at your best artist. I call
it artists out there too what they do best, because
not everybody can do this thing called the music business
out there too and perform for a live audience and
(10:32):
do the things that you guys have to do. We're
gonna talk about obstacles here in a little bit and
some of the tough challenges you guys face as artists

and they Cadencortshow dot com Today's best Country mix. So
(16:08):
you know what we mentioned. February seventh, it's out there.
The pre saved was yesterday now people can go enjoy
this one. And I love the whole redition in the
arrangement of this tg if.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Out all right, So that's another song, uh, you know,
talking about just letting the words out.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I was this one.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I was fooling on the piano with the chord progression
and I started singing, and instantly the melody was going
to you know, those words, and and I was like, oh,
thank god it's Friday. This fits perfectly, and started writing
song and and then I'm like, wow, this is this
is a love song. And starting the first verse, you know,
(16:46):
and I've been thinking about you know, spend the whole
week thinking about you and all those lines, and and
then it it has a twist. It's not about you know,
your partner. It's it's really uh a drink anthem. Whereas
thank god it's Friday because I can have more than
once and I don't work tomorrow morning, and.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
And I you know, I'm happy about it.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I've been getting lots of great comments on it, where
people love you know, all the double on Taunders and
all that, and where on first listen.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
They they have you know, like wait a minute, what
what is that? And then like okay, I.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Get it, and uh, it's it's fun and I hope
people enjoy it and connect with it. And that's that's
why I love country music so much. Uh, you know,
country music it's about everyday life and it happens that
a lot of people love to drink beer.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
So it's not something you could do and in all the.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
You know, music genres, but in country music, it's you know,
it's authentic, it's genuine. So people love Friday nights and
drink beer or you know, shooting whiskey and doing all that.
So I mean that's that's why this song can happen.
So I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah, you should be. And I'll tell you this, man,
you actually took me back to some of that nineties
country with that song. Was that kind of the whole
you know, point of that to kind of get that
feel of that nineties country because you really tell a
story in that that's what it's all about connected with people,
And it did for me.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yeah, And I mean I love nineties country of course.
You can see the influence right there.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
And it's funny because I got to say a few
years ago, when I first came, you know, to Nashville
working on my project. This is where I was going
to and I had on this project, I had lots
of fiddle steel guitar because I cut a bunch of
songs that never got released. And I remember going on
a radio tour and PD's telling me, oh, we don't
(18:51):
play fiddle anymore, you know, on Gold Records it's it's okay,
but any new songs, no fiddle, no steal.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It was out and I was like, whoa wait a minute.
I came.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I moved to Nashville to make you know, thank God
it's Friday, you know, those kind of songs, and it
wasn't possible.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
So I'm so happy that it it.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
You know, it went a direction and now it's coming
back and it's it's it's open wide right now.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
So it's it's I'm really happy about this.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I'm so thankful for all the guys that brought back
you know, that nineties sound and uh yeah, so now
I can't release a song like thank God It's Friday,
and you know, enjoy doing it live because that's the
music that you know, that's why I love country music.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
So yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Talked a lot about songwriting and just the journey you've
been on too to get to Nashville to put out
this this style of music, that Robbie Johnson style of music.
But a lot of fans may or may not most
most likely may not see some of the challenges that
go on, you know, behind the scenes of just beating
an artist and the work that goes on from the
teams and the managers, the publicists, all the camps are
people that it takes me and obviously will a great
one here for this particular show, because you can't do
(20:06):
it all by yourself. Some terms, I feel like you can,
but then you get kind of stuck in a rut
and you're like, I gotta call a team never to
fix or do this. Talk about just what that means
to have a team behind you and then some of
the obstacles and challenges you face as an artists.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, I mean, you do need a team behind you.
You need some people that root for you. And that's
what's great about Nashville. You know, when they hear and
see talent, they get behind you. And it's not because
they want to get, you know, money out of it.
It's just because they're passionate. They're passionate about good music,
and they get behind you. So that's great. And at
(20:39):
the same time, uh, Nashville. You know, they have a
strong hand on a lot of things. So if you're
if you're not with the right people, it's tough to
break through.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You know, back in the day when I did the
radio tour and all that, you know, pds were explaining
to me it's hard for us to play in India
artists because then we get a call from a major
label saying, hey, how come you're not playing my new guy.
You know, this artist, this major artist is going to
be touring in your city, you know, and we're wondering,
(21:14):
you know, if we're gonna be sending you some advertisement,
you know, for the show. So it was all you know,
it's it's like, oh my god, okay. And and today,
you know, with the streaming, the thing is what's tough.
You're you're an indie artist. You get out there and
and you release a song and you get some decent
(21:37):
streams and all that, and you're really proud. And but
then you got a new guy, another guy who signed
with a major label and they they acquired all the
independent major playlists that existed, and they curate those playlists now.
So before when Spotify, you know, when it started, you
(21:59):
had those huge play that you could send your song
to the owner of the playlist and he might add
you if he liked the song. But now those big
playlists are all owned by major labels and companies, and
so there's no way for me to get on those playlists.
But this artist, that's just sign a new artist. He
(22:19):
gets a song on there and he gets you know,
one hundred thousand streams in an instant just because of that.
So it's like it's generating hype that I can't have.
So people when they look at this, it's you know,
they see, oh, well, this guy's doing great, but Robbie's
(22:40):
not doing as great as this guy. But it's because
we're not playing on the same field kind of thing.
So that's that's an obstacle I would say in the
music if people rely on streams to determine if an
artist is hot or not, then it's it's tough.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
It's tough. It I just hope people just listen to
the music.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You know, we're only on to the first quarter now
of the year, just kind of getting into it right
now for this new year. I always talk about long
term aspirations and goals and things that you guys have
kind of set aside. You're like, I want to accomplish this,
and you kind of make that list almost like journaling.
Sometimes you check those boxes a little bit about this
on this day, this on this day. But ultimately, as
we say, sometimes you know, God can put his hand
(23:24):
on it. He's the one that has the ultimate control
on kind of whining if things occur. And talk about
that and just some of the goals that you guys
as a team for Robbie Johnson have set aside for
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Totally, I'm totally in line with your what you just said.
You know, it's having a major hit becoming you know,
it's it's a miracle. It really is a miracle. It's
it's not something that you can fabricate. It's not something
that I mean, yes, you have to, you know, hang
(23:56):
in there and keep going at it and pursuing that dream.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Of course you have to do that. But it's not
you by yourself that will make it happen. That's that's
that's not true.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
It's it's you know, you got to have lots of luck,
the timing, and there's so many things that need to align.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
That is it's greater than than than you. You're totally
right on that.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
And but so the goals for me that you checkboxes
is is really to keep on releasing some great music.
I'm you know, I'm I've been in the studio tracking
and you know, working on some songs. I was, you know,
mixing a song earlier before the interview. I want to
release some new music for CRS so that people could
(24:43):
listen to new music that what's coming up. And it's
it's really to just keep doing that and also looking
forward to get on the road and performing live because
like I said earlier, it's the best feeling in the world. Nothing,
nothing tops that. And and I got to say, you know,
fans and people, they they make it happen. They're they're
(25:05):
the real stars of the show, you know. And I
keep saying this over and over. You know, if if
I'm on a stage by myself, my guitar and I
sing my lungs out, nothing happens. Really nothing happens. It's
only if there's a crowd in front of me that
something happens. And they they make it happen, and and
(25:25):
they are part of the show. They're not just witnessing
a show. They're a part of it. They're the reason
there's a show. There's something, it's because they are there.
So it's it's really important. I'm really thankful, you know,
every time there's a crowd and they're cheering, singing, singing
along and doing all that giving some energy, we give
(25:45):
some energy back. I mean, it's it's really it really
is a teamwork. And so I'm very thankful for that,
and I'm looking forward to living those moments, creating those moments.

let's go to this one. I loved it a great
title so much. Here Robbie Johnson, we got to talk
about that song more than you think.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yes, it's a song that, just like the others, came out.
I just let it out.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
And it's about my grandparents, my grandfather Leo, and you
know it's important. It's a song about your grandparents are
there and they might think they're not doing much, but
they make a huge difference in your life.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
And you know, there are role models. You pick up stuff.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
You know, you look, you look up to them and
they teach you so many things without them even knowing it.
So the song was kind of a way to say
thank you and pay tribute to my grandparents who did
so much for me without knowing it. They were so
great growing up, like I said, in poverty. Uh and
(33:18):
and they were you know, eight hours away, and I
mean they worked multiple jobs. They would send clothes, they
would send shoes, they would send some money for us
and do the best they could.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
They would.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
They would we would go there for Christmas and it
would it was always the best Christmas ever. You know,
it would compensate for the for the rest of the year.
And I mean they were great and we I mean
we spent When I was a child, I would spend
all my summers at my grandparents' house and my grandfather
(33:53):
was a janitor of the school and church both were
attached together. So we would spend the day in the
gymnasium of the school, have some fun, play some sports.
Also there was a piano. We you know, play some
music and have a great time. He would let us
ring the bells at noon. So that was that was pretty.
(34:13):
That was that was cool, great memories and they were
great people. So looking looking back, my grandmother she was
she was an entertainer, so I kind of have what
I kind of have that from her. I guess you
know where I like to be at the center and
(34:35):
entertain people.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
So yeah, they were great.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Well you got that gift. And thanks to all the
grandparents of what they do out there too. I was
so close to mine, lost her a few years ago,
but she lived to that just a great age of
ninety four.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
She was like to me, and I tell you what,
it was a lot of guide it and a lot
of wisdom and things that we take lightly when we're
in those what teens, twenties and early thirties and look
back you're like, yep, well they were going to grow
up get gray hair. If people can't see it right
now to listening on the radio side of it. But hey,
it's all a part of wisdom, getting wise and all
that good stuff. Hey, I want to ask you about
another good record. I love it too, because this was
(35:11):
just some good Talholme country music for me alive right now,
that particular album and if I ever was a cowboy,
I really caught my attention off that record too. Let's
dive into this in the whole project.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Yeah, so that's really and it's funny talking about my grandparents.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
I remember, you know, being I guess I was maybe
fifteen or sixteen, and my grandparents, you know, they had
a huge garden and my grandmother one time she was like,
go go pick an onion. I was like no, it's
like why and I was like, because I will love
it too much. This is the life I would love
(35:50):
to have, so it's going to be more painful than
you know, fun to do it.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
And it was weird. But I grew up, you know,
wanting to be.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Like a cowboy, but you know, close to the land,
you know, farming or ranching or whatnot.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
But I wanted to do that growing up.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
So this song it's really you know, it was kind
of a dream, you know, if I ever was a cowboy,
h this is what I would do and I wanted to.
I'm happy that it's a cowboy song, but not not
the negative cowboy, you know, the one that's always gone
at the bar, drinking, cheating and doing you know, never
(36:31):
getting into a relationship and breaking hearts. So it's really
a song about the good cowboys, you know, that work
hard for their family, their every Sunday, they're on the
church pew and you know, and their kids look up
to them.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
So that's what this song is about. And I really
love the song.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
It's it's approaching the million streams on Spotify, so it's
it's doing really well, and it's on it's on Spotify
traditional Country playlist, which is so cool, and I'm so
I mean, I'm so thankful to be you know, amongst
the great country you know, more traditional country artists, you know,
Cody Johnson, Justin More and George Street and all these
(37:17):
incredible artists.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
So it's it's it's really cool.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
And I want to get your thoughts on this. I
got to always play props to the ladies out there too, man,
because this has been so cool to see. Uh, so
many great ladies on fire. Takes me back to nineties
country when name after name we could just list them.
I mean A to Z right now with Landy Wilson
and so many others, you know, kicking ass out there
doing their thing. I love it because this is really
a good time for country music to be artists, because
(37:44):
this is a healthy industry right now, especially what the
ladies are doing too.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Oh yeah, totally totally different.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
I mean, and it's it's really great to see more
and more, you know, female artists that cut through and
get airplay and and and I mean they're great songwriters.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
They are great songwriters, and we can hear it and
you know, heart like a truck, and I mean all.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
These songs, Megan Maroney, I mean, they all have these
huge hits, and it's really cool to have that. And
I mean it's lots of great duets are happening. That's
that's that's fun. That's I mean, it's it is a
good time for country music and female artists.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
You know. The best thing is I love doing the
show getting to discover great talent like yourself too. That's
why the the milestones have been there. And he's got
so many more man to achieve, and this his career
just kind of getting underway out there. Robbie Johnson here
on the backstage past again, empowered by the sports guys
of the podcasts dot Com. Kudos to you, my friend,
for all the great stuff that has happened so far.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
Too.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
I gotta get into some fun stuff here because we'll
do more of this. You know, I see you in
person here at CRS for that week and all that
good stuff. But uh, you know, the best thing is,
I love this question just comes out of nowhere. And
I had our good friend, one half of the great
group sugar Land, Christian Bush, came on here a few
weeks ago and we got to talking about just some
random stuff. And rarely has in an interview a conversation
(39:12):
has come up about someone's beard, like on the face,
like just the beard growing us a Christian, You've got
a great beard. You remind me so much of WWE
Chief Content Officer trip H Paul Leveck, who's doing stuff
out there too. I love watching it it's just fun
of watching since I was a kid, even when they
changed from WWF to WWE. Not sure if you were
(39:33):
a fan. But my question is if you could wrestle
anybody in country music and they teach you. And I
posed this to Christians, so this would be a great
CRS question. So we got it from him. I'm giving
him props out there and credit for it. If we
do like a backstage past first wrestling event in Nashville,
put the ring out there, yeah, some you know, some
people to come down to do some choreography, teach you
(39:54):
guys what you need to know out there to step
into a ring and do it. And I can see it.
Broad asked to get somebody do it, and we get
some television sponsors behind this, we can we can turn
this into something. Who would you wrestle? Move Uh?
Speaker 3 (40:08):
I think I would wrestle and I'm sorry cut off
a little bit. I wrestle a country artist.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yeah, a country artist or a tag match with a band.
I mean yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
Think I would wrestle Jelly Roll.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
That would be a great because he's he's also a
great show man, and I can't I can only imagine
the speech he'd be doing in that mic before.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
The fight or after the fight.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
You know, he's he's he's such a great entertainer, and
I think it would be a lot of fun, you
know with Jelly Roll and uh, you know, I can
imagine me jumping from the ropes thinking I would smash
him to the ground and I would just bounce off
of it, fall down and that'd be and that'd be
that'd be the end of the fight.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
That'd be funny.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
I love it too. And then like a finishing move,
would it be the elbow from the top rope? A
stone cold stunner?
Speaker 9 (41:06):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Pedigree? What what finishing movie talking about?
Speaker 7 (41:10):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (41:11):
I think I think I think he would grab me
and just do the the hammer.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Drop that keep dropping our Max Robbie Johnson versus Jelly Roll,
our mass plight here the backstage pass the wrestling event
in Nashville, Tennessee. Hey, I'm working on this. I just
want to see if this can happen. I'm gonna work
on this. Call some people, my people, call them, see
if we put this together. But I think it's a
great idea and I, hey, Christian Bush will sit beside
(41:40):
me to broadcast with me if we get this to
ever happen.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
So I'm just I mean, it's a it's a great idea,
something we're.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
Thinking about to spotkings. You finished in Email me, DM
me on Facebook. All the good stuff out there. We'd
love to have you talk more about this great idea.
All right, Nashville, the hot chicken debate continues. I know,
for me, every time I go, you gotta get the stuff.
It's mild. For me, I'm kind of weak on it.
And not everybody's a hot chicken fan. I get it.
But I love Hattie Bees on Broadway. It's just one
of my favorite ones. You know, I've only had a couple.
(42:09):
Princess is my second favorite. I've not tried. But I
want to kind of get the gist of this. But
are you a hot chicken fan? It's so what your place?
Speaker 3 (42:19):
I'm more mild too.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
But it's funny because when we first moved to Nashville,
my family, we knew nothing about Nashville Hot Chicken. You know,
we thought it was just name, you know, just a
flashy name. And so we went, we go to this
barbecue place and we get the hot chicken, not knowing
it's the chicken that's hot. So we're sitting there, we're
(42:43):
eating it, as like, oh my god, this sauce is
very spicy. So we go to the counter and we
ask for some mild sauce, you know, something that's less spicy,
and they give us some sauce. And then and then
we keep on eating that chick and our lips are tingling,
you know, it's really hot. And then I look at
the sign. I'm like, oh my god, hot chicken. Guys,
(43:05):
it's the chicken. It's already spicy, that's what it is.
So I asked a question. It was like, yeah, it
was invented in Nashville, you know. And they told us
a little story behind the hot chicken. And yes, but
I'm not I'm not a Hatabes is really good, but
I'm not a hot hot My son is. He liked
(43:26):
the more it's hot, the better, But for me, no,
my daughter's pretty uh it's pretty spicy too.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
But I do the mile.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
I like that because I start I start sweating, I
start sweating and everything just yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Yeah, instead of meat sweats, they call it chicken Sweats's
when they call it up there. Heard that tournaments up
there too. We get judged to travel up there for
CRS week, of course, a week we love that every summer,
always a great week to bring out all the great
radio people and the great artist too at the same time.
All right, we'll finish with this one. If probably John
yess it was not a working musician. What other career path?
What do you have taken?
Speaker 9 (44:04):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (44:06):
At one point I was thinking of being a doctor.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
I'm really good at you know, I have a good
sense of observation all that, and I can find solutions
to problems. So I was pretty good, you know, biology
and all that, and or maybe a mechanical engineer.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Like that, you know what. Hey always the need for
both of those careers too, But you know what he chose, right,
country music artist, Nashville recording artists. They'll leave it at that.
