ass and she's back here on the show, Sadibass here
on the backstage pass. What's going on, my friend?

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Let's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Oh good to have you always here. We cause saw
each other at a writer's round. You were doing up
there too. I think you're a CRS week even before
that last year at Whiskey Jam, CMA a week, all
the different times I've peered in Nashville in twenty twenty four.
But tell me about twenty twenty five. We're gonna talk
about all this new music out here, one called Drunk Enough.
We're gonna play across all the affiliates out there. But
how's it been going for you now that the first
quarter is over? Tell me what you're most looking forward to.

(01:24):
Obviously the single is already kicking some.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Ass, thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Honestly, this year looks so much different than my last
two years. I toured so heavily, and the first year
was like self books, and then last year I had
signed with w Omean was on the biggest stages.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
I'd ever been on, Katwalks, the whole shebang.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
So I definitely got my feet wet and learned a lot.
But this year I've toured less because I'm putting out
a song every six weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
I didn't put out music.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
For two years, two full years, and I just wrote
my freaking butt off, And so now we've got gas
in the tank pretty much, and I'm just so excited
to get out, so I put out Dirt on Him
is what we kicked it off with, which has gotten
I mean, so many streams. I just can't believe it.
And it's my show closer, which has been sick. And
then we just did drunk Enough you need to go

(02:12):
drinking song for your set, which is fun too, and
so then yeah, six weeks after that, we're going to
keep ruwing them out. But I don't think people are
gonna expect like the next couple of songs that I
put out, because I'm freaking all over the board.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
I'm doing a lot of different kinds of stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
I love it too, and you got that attitude and
you brought back like the sass and the music too,
and like the feel of just a good song out
there that really, like I mentioned, it, kind of kicks
ass out there and takes names. Because this is something
to where people can go through experiences or you know,
go to a bar, go to a club and like
hear these songs and be like, you know what, she's
got some attitude. She's brought back that sass, and I
think that's part of this female movement right there, and

(02:47):
I put you in there too. Tell me about just
how that's so important to you to put that in
a song so somebody can resonate and kind of feel
that experience a little bit.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
I think the sashes comes naturally. It's just something that
I've always had.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
I think when people with me and whenever I write,
it's just like it just feels natural, you know, the
ideas that they that they come to me with, or like, hey,
you know, only so many girls can sing about this
stuff and relate to it or feel like it's like
a part of them. So I don't know, just that
side of me comes a little a little natural, I guess.
And I think, you know, like I hung out with

(03:19):
guys and stuff a lot. I had a lot of
guy friends and my dad and everything, and I think
that just like the sassiness, guys can appreciate.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
It for girls like it too. So it's just nice
that everyone all around, like you know, wants that.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Sort of thing, no doubt about it too. I mentioned
this girl power movement and we're talking to a lot
of great just female artists here on the programs. This
seems like every day you open up the social media
or listen to the radio, somebody else is actually doing
their thing out there. Ella Langley has been on one
hell of a ride since I got there a couple
of years to go and talk to her here on
this very show. And of course you know, Landy's doing
her thing all these award shows taking home the hardware,

(03:55):
and just so many others, I mean Ashley Cook and
Ashley McBride and Carly I mean Carly Scott Collins. There's
so many out there talk about just what that means
to you and this female move but this girl power
movement now love it.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Lanny Wilson absolutely is an icon now, like she's gonna
be up there with Dolly Parton. Ella Langley too is
right on her tail.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
She is.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
I mean, she's not going anywhere. It's only going to
get better. Like the music that they're putting out are
gonna be music that's like just associated with so many
memories in the years that we're living like right now currently,
I mean even the ones she just did with Riley Green,
which helped put him on the map.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
You look like you love Me.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
I mean every time we think of what year twenty
twenty four, that song, and that's when it's just like friends.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
And mo places, it's one to go.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
So it's really awesome and honestly too, it gives me
a lot of hope because Laney Wilson, she had quite
the journey before she even got where she wanted to be.
And I bet during the time, you know, she was
wondering why she wasn't there quicker, and I was wondering too.
I remember seeing her rounds, thinking if she can't do it,
like I don't have a freaking chance. But I think

(05:05):
it all happened for a reason. You know, it made
her so much more season and she really knows who
she is now, and I love I'm still young, but god,
she's so good.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
So I'm just still chugging along over here.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
But I'm like so happy that I have other females
in music industry that kind of got kickstarted, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
So I think it's just gonna help everyone all around.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
You know, as you go to these different writers rounds
we had talked about too, out there in Midtown or
you go out to Whiskey Jam or any of these
great writers rounds that you get to a ten. I
love what you've done just out there too, to have
fun with it, meet new people, but talk about just
you know what that means to you to go out
there and just really kind of you get involved with it,
dive head into it too, because you guys get maybe
a song, two three songs a piece, and it rotates

(05:44):
between four to five people up there on stage and
you're getting yourself introduced to new fans and things like that.
But you're also going to chance to play your music acoustically.
That's a great opportunity, right.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Oh, yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
I mean, honestly, writ writers rounds have always been one
of my favorite things. Before I moved down, I just
went to them and I was just so inspired. I
wanted to pick up the guitar, you know, and go
write something just as good. But it's literally you're writing
so many songs a week, and like, I have so
many songs that nobody has heard, like or maybe not nobody,

(06:17):
but a handful, that's it. And some of them still
may never be heard, who knows, because we outrighte some
of them. But those rounds are a chance to sing
whatever it is that you want to sing, whatever is
on your heart. I mean, you could go and think
and you're gonna play three songs and totally change your
mind and play anything else. And they're just special because
those are the only times you're gonna hear some of
those songs from artists or from the songwriters themselves, and

(06:39):
it's just it really is cool.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
I love it. I tell you what else is cool.
We got some dirt on him, which was hat signal
here from Sadi Bass here on the backstage, Bass, We're
gonna give it to you here KYBN ninety eight point one,

Speaker 5 (10:34):
Hey, this is national recording artist Christian Bush and you're
listening to the Backstage Past podcast powered by the Sports
Guys Podcast dot com, exclusively on KKTC True Country ninety
nine point nine.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
And back Your City Bass. Our guests out here dirt
on him and I love this one. You mentioned every
six weeks. This came out January twenty fourth, and this
was one of those things where we talked a little
bit about it. Once you got a little something on him,
you gotta the word. Talk about the writing and where
this came from.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
You know this song. I had covered Miranda Lambert for
so many years.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
I grew up loving a lot of her stuff.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
I love that she had a sassy side, but she
she also put her heart in so many songs too,
And I had covered gunpowder and lead for so long,
and I got to thinking about how I wanted to
write something like that, But I really had to kind
of dig into any kind of experience that I had
and think about experiences of other girls that I knew
what they had.

Speaker 7 (11:29):
And.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Just wanted to like stand for something really and kind
of give a message like, hey, you know, if it
were to ever come down to.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Me or you, the ain't good basically, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
So I went into the rite with Josh Phillips, who
single handedly wrote Dirt Cheap, and Chris Lock, who produced it,
and we were on a hunting retreat writer's retreat in Kansas, Oklahoma.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
I don't remember, but.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
I had walked in I told them that and they
were like, okay, so you want to you want to
do Murder Country.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
I'm like, yeah, I do.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
And so I started kind of giving, you know, things
that I could steal relate to, and I mean, Josh
said the hook and it just fell right out. Honestly,
as soon as we got done writing it, we knew
like it was special, We really did, and I remember
I sent it into kind of my team, which was
smaller at the time, and they liked it. But they
were like, you know, is this going to be too aggressive?
And I was like, I don't think so. Well, I

(12:21):
don't know, it's real. It feels really real. And I
ended up teasing it on social media, and that was
my first song that had really blown up, getting millions
abuse and it wasn't just on TikTok, it was on Facebook,
it was on Instagram and everything, and it was really cool,
but also it was sad too because a lot of
people use that video and shared some of their stories,
and you know, we'd scroll through and some people were like, oh,

(12:44):
I got court case coming up, like f this guy,
and you know, I would comment on there and be like, heck, yeah,
get a girl, Get a girl. I'm like, don't don't
let him go out something. But some of them are
really really sad too. So I've had a lot of
messages from fans and they were like, hey, this feels
like an anthem. It kind of gave me some power
back and I'm just so happy that that we wrote it.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
And I saw somewhere too, you were singing the national
anthem out there too, which I know we were talking
about this on the previous episodes. You and I've done
about having some fun with that and going out to
the venues and stadiums and like really getting up there.
You know, you're you're singing it for the troops, You're
singing it for the great American people out there too.
But singing that national anthem has got to send chills
right down your spine every time you do that at
a venue, maybe a Prets game, right, bro, the.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Freaking national anthem.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
There's the reason why a lot of artists say no
to doing it.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Honestly.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
I mean, I've I've always been stage right, but I've
conquered it more so now that I've done it, I'm like, Okay,
I'm getting some confidence.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
I know what I'm doing, Like this is my job.
I got this. But the National Anthem.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
You walk out, you think everything's fine, and then it
gets quiet, and then you know your face is on
this huge screen and everyone's just looking at either some
people are probably talking craps, some people are saying nice things.
They're ready, you know, and they're judging you hard. And
just that second of total quiet. I mean, the last
time I did it, I started shaking in my legs
and I out So I did and it went good,

(14:06):
But I mean, yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
There's nothing else like it. There really isn't.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
I love it, and you're very good at it too
as well. Gotta compliment that.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Hey Ian Flannagan, Nashville recording artist and now back to
the show with Brandn't on the backstage pass exclusively on
KKTC True Country ninety nine point nine.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
And I'll tell you what. I was coming back from
spring break or going into spring break, one of the
two there from San Antonio, and a little notification went
off on my phone that we had that had your
name on it too, And of course to keep everything
on the playlist and when new things come out, we
get releases and things like that. Be a media one
of the perks we got. And I heard this for
the first time my friend and I said, you know
what I wish to your period went by. I missed

(18:28):
her music so much ever since Waken Bake, but this
one here was like this was the anthem. And I
had the little evide for Apple Music and I said,
you know what, I'm going to listen to this right now,
pulled off set the little playlist thing, put it up
on my truck us beat and I said, you know what,
we're getting her back to talk about drunken Ast, Sadie Beast.
This is fantastic. I love this song.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Oh my god, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Really, honestly, this one has been you know, I came
out of the gate with dirt on him, which was aggressive,
and it was like really leaning in. But it kind
of was hard to promote because it was so like
in your face, where this next song was like just fun,
you know, so much easier to like play it out
and about and like have other people make videos to
it and just really share it. But god, I'm so

(19:11):
glad it's doing really good. And we actually just got
told that it's going to be on CMT that regular rotation.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
I just got told that.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Congratulations. I'm not surprised you got that information too. Hey,
take me back to I mentioned that title Waken Bake,
and it was that long ever since then that came
out in March of twenty twenty three, when you guys
put that out to another fun song, You guys got
to have fun in your camp, and this one resonated
with your fans very well too.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, waken Bake was a fun one. I'm from Michigan,
so Mary Jane's a friend of mine. I felt like
there wasn't a lot of songs about it at the time,
and I wanted a summer boat song, and honestly, that's
what we do on the pontoon going around the lake.
So it was just a necessity. So now I've got
that in my set. I've got the version of Gunpotter
and led, and then I've got the drinking You know,
I ain't drunk enough song.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
You got your full arsenal, no doubt about it. Hey,
you're no stranger to you know, these reality shows and
all these different singing shows, and I'm getting hooked on
them again after like a little drop off after a while.
But man, the voice and of course, you know, with
Idle and all these things. Now talk about it, I
think bad thing for the industry. Maybe a little mix
of kind of some opinions, because obviously you and those

(20:22):
shows and it talked new and up and coming artists
a lot of things about the industry.

Speaker 10 (20:26):
Right.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, as far as reality shows go, my ones that
were in outdoors, like hunting and fishing ones I've loved
all those I'd keep doing those, you know what I mean,
I get to go to different states. But as far
as the voice, you know, that was a big moment
for me. That was me deciding, am I a songwriter?
Or can I do the artist thing? Am I a singer?
Am I actually good enough to be a singer? And

(20:50):
do I have the balls to do the artist thing?

Speaker 3 (20:52):
So I went on there.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
I didn't make it long, but just the fact that
I had turned chairs and made it through the first
step that was like a big deal for me. I
thought I was going to pass out on the stage.
I thought I was gonna throw up. I mean, who
knows what's gonna happen. I really was sick about it.
I was out in LA for like three months, you know,
and just knowing that it was on national television forever.
My parents were there and I wanted to know if

(21:15):
I could do it, but I didn't want to know
at the same time. But the voice did help me,
like I said it really because I was able to
do it. It just helped me my confidence, like Okay,
I really can do this, I can sing. So that
really pushed me to be able to take on the
bigger shows as.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Far as the filming and all that is pretty tough.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
We were like isolated because it was during COVID, and
you know, I'd say, it's one of those it's not
always what it seems, you know.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
It's a lot of it is. I mean, it's it's
a television show, you.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Know, so they got to control a lot of it,
you know, as to what you sing, what you wear,
what you say, everything. So I went in thinking that
I was gonna be picking my songs, the key of them,
what I'd wear, and it wasn't really that that, but
in the gram scheme of scheme of things. I don't
know if that really matters, but it did help me.
I got a good following from it. I was able
to do a private tour after going well on it.

(22:11):
And I only made I mean, it only showed one
of my episodes and then a mantash my second. So
I'll never be able to hear what our duet sounded
like ever, Like I have what it sounds like.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Isn't that crazy? We spent time working on it, and
I'll never know what it sounded like. And they ended
up picking Klau which she had like this really cool vibrato.
I think I had her Bush. I guess not.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Well, I will just be byas here. I'm the city
bass fan. That's why we're talking city Bass on the show.
Like I said, you know, it is what it is.
The TV has got to make it for television. I
get all that too, after dabbling in television in a
while back. And then you look back at it and
make it all pretty neat and nice. But I know
vocal talent and you mentioned sicker songwriter. You had both
in those arsenal two. Hey, take me back a little

(22:54):
bit too, twenty twenty two. I love just backtracking on
a few songs here, holy Ground and just how much
that one meant to you too.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
You know, holy Ground is super special to me. I needed.
I think everybody had some sort of hometown song. And
I moved to Nashville.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
I've been here for four years, and I just, I mean,
I already knew what I had before I left, you know,
I really did.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
I didn't want to leave. I loved being home.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
I knew who I was when I was there, but
I knew I had to and so when I did,
it made me appreciate it even more. And I just
was trying to put into words you know how it
made me feel when I was home, and like, you
know who I am when I'm there, And so finally
I had gotten the words out for it. And what's
cool about Holy Ground is for me, it's about Michigan
and like my small town in Bath, Michigan.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
So to them it's super special.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
But whenever I sing it out, somebody will come up
and they're like, hey, this reminds me of this place
or that place, like I have a holy Ground.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Too, and I'm like, oh, that's so cool.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
I love that because before I put out songs, I
was so attached to ones too that I could relate to.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
So it's really cool that I could even, you know,
write something like that.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
That's a beautiful song, no doubt too. Now being from Michigan,
I got to ask you to love this because I've
been to Detroit years back too. But this is so
cool now to throw a sports kind of analogy in
there too, and a little bit of just that point
for sports talk. It's good to see the Lions doing
so well again too, not that I'm just a huge
sports fan, and just for an organization, it has gone

(24:21):
through everything you can possibly go through. At the bottom
of everything and the doldrums and all the words you
want to put with that too as well, and it's
resurfaced over the last couple of years. I'm so glad
I'm saying the Eagles because that was a team we
had to put up with. I got tired of the
Chiefs this year. So you see the Lions winning a
Super Bowl very soon? I sure can.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Bro Bo Biens has been.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
It has been so fun to watch them because my
whole life I really watched more college football just because
I don't know, it wasn't It just wasn't a hype,
So I guess you could say I was laid on
the bandwagon.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
That's fine, I'll totally admit to it.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
But also the coach, Hello, who's even if we sucked,
I'd still watch it for our coach.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
But yeah, but it's been so cool, and honestly, I
thought we were gonna win it this year.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
But I'm like, you know what, if it's next year
like Michigan, it just puts more eyes on Michigan. Maybe
my career will be taking off by then too, Like
it'd be so cool if it's at the same time.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
I don't know, but it'd be sick I'm putting the
juju in the air. Put it out there Lins.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
All the way to the super Bowl coming up next
year too. You know, you did another great one too,
back in twenty twenty two. I love the song. Tell
everybody about it for those who haven't heard it across
all the DSPs out there wherever you guys download or
stream your music. And one called O Sun because I
really loved this one and the really the feel, the
vibe that gave off too.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Thank you. I wrote that one by myself.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Actually, you know, once I put it out, I'd wished
that i'd put out an acoustic version too, just me
and my guitar singing it.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
But it is really cool what they did with it.
You know, that one was just about being with somebody.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
But when you go to end it, instead of you know,
slamming the door and walking out, you realize, okay, you know,
we put in a good fight. This is it, this
is our last night together. And it just was so
sad because I was being held the last time, just
like I was the first time, so it was so bittersweet,
and I just remember laying there and I saw, you know,

(26:16):
the song kind of peeking through the blinds and that
was what gave the idea for the song. And I
got home and I wrote it and the rest is history.
A lot of people have related to that one.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Too beautiful song of doubt.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
All Right.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
I mentioned next time I'm in Nashville is gonna be
the c a week coming up there June fifth to eighth,
and looking forward to hopefully seeing you around this year.
You gotta you gotta come by the booth at the
Music City Center because I definitely got to catch up.
And we're gonna be streaming some music on this new
pos PA system, I have to, and it'll be some
of the Drunk Enough and some of the other singles
that are coming out too. So if you sit out

(26:47):
with us, we play some music, we have a drink
of a little party talking about everything too. Can we
do that.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah, we'll get into some that's for sure.

Speaker 9 (26:55):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Hey, if you bring the day, bring the whatever we're
gonna sip on. Hey, I'll that the talking, will do
the interview, and we'll have a good time. So if
you're on a stage, count me in this year. If
you don't know the plans maybe not released yet, but
if you're on some kind of stage, or out there
whatever it is, or over there at the Ascent Amphitheater.
Count me in to be your guest.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
I'm coming, Yeah, all mountains. If we end up doing that,
I think we've been on the cost of deciding. But
if not, we'll still be hanging around because I haven't
even got to go to go to one, honestly, I
haven't there.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah, CRS is one thing, but that is another level.
You take it to the big leagues. You're like, man,
that's just that's a fun week right there, and over
a four or five day spend, that's a cool thing.
And you'll I'll show you around some time there too,
because it's a lot of fun. You probably show me
some things too. But it's a great, great time for
that four day event. And it's crazy how many millions
of people come. Because when I got on my flight
last year, I'm not kidding you, there must have been

(27:45):
seven to ten people from Australia flying over for just
that event too. It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Dang Australia.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, no, it's become global that event too as well,
and we love it. There's so much out there, all right,
let's have a little fun with this. Any got of
new foods you're getting into. I know for me, it's
been like a lot of the like eliminate some of
the red meat, but I still have like the chicken
fish because I wanted to go leaner. In the last
six months, I've really been just hitting hard in the
gym because I love working out and it's just a

(28:11):
really good escape for me to get back in there
and do what I do at my age now. But
for foods now, I'm getting into like a little bit
of healthier things. What are you getting into, dude.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
I've been good lately.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
I've been walking for thirty minutes right when I get up.
That's been nice fasted, but I did just hear like
thirty grams of protein before it would be good.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
But I've been doing it fasted. Then I go make
my breakfast, I move on with my stuff.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
But I've been also avoiding like a lot of cheese
and barbs because when I hit the road those two years,
all the time I was like bloated and stuff, and
so I get to simplify it. So I do ground beef,
I do cottage cheese, I do my eggs. In the morning,
I do fetta and then I got protein shakes.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
That's what I've been doing.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
That's the same. He's just like me. We're right there
on the same right to eat what we love and
having fun with it too, because I have that lean
body protein shake I'm getting into. They're expensive, but they're
like forty grams of protein and zero grams of sugar.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Yeah, that's been my one of my big biggest things
there too, because you need that to have your body
help you recover from all those tough, tough workouts. And
I've been taking those hit classes. Have you ever done
a hit class at a gym? Those high in Cincity crazy?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Oh my god, that's so hard because it's strength and
it's like interval training, so it's like cardio times.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
You're just sweating and you're dying, and it's right when
it starts. You just want it to end. But it's
so good for you. It's so good for you.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Forty five minutes of it, three times a week. You're like, man,
I want to throw up along, but it's before I
even get Like you said, get started, I want to finish.
Before you even finish, forty five minute workout, can this
be over? And you look up and there's a clock
right there in the gym too, and you're like, Okay,
it's just man and I go at five am, so
it's like, oh, it's just five twenty. We got another
round to do. Oh my goodness, dude, that's that's It

(29:49):
takes some commitment, right, Oh my god. Yeah, you're gonna. Yeah,
I'm just gonna. It's it's because of my schedule. And
now my little girl, you know, she turned five now too.
She's keeping me busy.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Yes, it's great bringing up been doing that though, one
of those.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
New Y's solutions.

Speaker 6 (30:07):
Man, I just had to.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
I kept on going to and I know one of
my good friends, uh saw Ali Coleen at CRS this
year at the Obney and she goes, hemn, you look different.
What have you been doing? I said, well, I watch
your fitness stuff out there too. Man, you're killing it
out there with the weights and all your stuff too.
She says, what are you doing? I said, I'll just
hit classes, going to Crunch now, which is that Crunch
Fitness is taking the world by storm with what they're
doing out there too. Hey, let's have fun. Top things

(30:30):
on a Sadie Bass pizza, What go on?

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Pepperoni, bacon and holopeno or banana pepper.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Oh man, she's getting a lot of people like this.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
Crush red pepper, for sure.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
She loves that spice and crush red pepper too. I
like that, all right. Flavor of ice cream?

Speaker 3 (30:46):
What do you like, man, Chocolate chip or chocolate chip
cookie dough?

Speaker 2 (30:53):
I had the cookie dough. I went to that marble
slab last night here and I had to get the
chocolate Swiss.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Thankes, you want ice cream really bad cheese cake.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
I was like, it was home maybe, and I said
that could be a little bit better out there too.
At the same time, all right, if you've never become
a working musician, what other career paths would you have chosen?

Speaker 3 (31:11):
I probably would have just done something outdoors, honestly, about
like the crush with Lee and Tiffany and Lucoski, you know, yeah,
and just done that.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Hunting fishing to run up your alley too. All right,
So here comes a million dollar question right here too.
I remember the last time I ask you this, and
I totally forgot about it. But I want to make
this happen one day. I haven't been to get The
last time I bagged my deer was an access at
twenty eighteen. So this year, with some time now on
my schedule opening up, can you and I go deer honey?
We're making a plan.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Yeah, but where are we going. We're going to Michigan.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
It didn't matter to me. You picked the spot. I'm
gonna be there.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
I don't have Monster Bucks. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
I get lucky when I get invited to go hunt
those Remember I go home, I get does or I'm
lucky if a freaking eight out, but I hook you.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Up that well, as long as I have with you,
we're deer hunting. Let's just go have fun and get
a bag of dough. It doesn't matter to me because
I just want to have fun. Get out there, and
just because I haven't shot the two seventy three in
a long time, I've not shot it and you get
