  Welcome into this very exciting episode of the scene.
• 0:04
  This is a tour update from the road with Clayton Ryan, my boy Xander, and our girl,
• 0:10
  Sammy Jean Cohen.
• 0:12
  Sammy, welcome to the show for your first time.
• 0:14
  Thank you.
• 0:15
  Thanks for having us.
• 0:16
  I gotta know I gotta know right off the bat.
• 0:18
  How is it traveling with all these dudes?
• 0:21
  Oh my god.
• 0:22
  I I feel great.
• 0:25
  I I'm a tomboy, and hang on.
• 0:29
  We're passing a little baby camera around here.
• 0:31
  I'm a tomboy, so I fit right in, I feel like.
• 0:33
  So, yeah, it's been really fun, and they're not too stinky yet.
• 0:38
  So no.
• 0:39
  Right.
• 0:40
  Short tours.
• 0:41
  That's that's the secret.
• 0:43
  You know?
• 0:43
  Seven to ten day runs are just enough once you start stretching past that two weeks.
• 0:48
  Right?
• 0:48
  Things start to get a little funky.
• 0:51
  Yeah.
• 0:51
  A little funky.
• 0:53
  But that's okay.
• 0:54
  I've been in
• 0:55
  Jacksonville before, so I understand that.
• 0:57
  That's amazing.
• 0:58
  So where where does where does the day find y'all?
• 1:01
  Where are you at?
• 1:03
  We right now are in Provo, Utah.
• 1:07
  We spent the night here in a little cheap hotel down the road, and, we're hanging out at a
• 1:11
  little cafe getting a few emails done.
• 1:13
  We've had the last two days off, so we're kinda just getting back into civilization a little
• 1:18
  bit.
• 1:18
  And, we're making our way down to excuse me.
• 1:22
  My bad.
• 1:22
  We're making our way down to Laramie, Wyoming at the roughed up duck for this evening's show.
• 1:27
  That's awesome.
• 1:28
  And then April 24, you're at the Matthews Opera House in Spearfish, South Dakota.
• 1:32
  Correct?
• 1:33
  Yes, sir.
• 1:34
  Hometown show for Clayton, dude.
• 1:36
  We're excited to get back out there.
• 1:38
  Well, and we're excited for that tour anchor too up in Minneapolis.
• 1:41
  You guys got one April 20 sixth with some good friends too.
• 1:44
  Why don't you shout that out real quick, and then we will, get into the dirt.
• 1:48
  Oh, absolutely.
• 1:49
  Greenway or sorry.
• 1:50
  Oh my gosh.
• 1:51
  Check us out in Uptown Minneapolis at
• 1:53
  the Green Room with our
• 1:55
  friends Modern Era.
• 1:56
  Who else is on the list?
• 1:58
  Oh my gosh, dude.
• 1:58
  So this is a thing.
• 1:59
  I gotta call you when
• 2:00
  I have
• 2:00
  We got we got Jay Bell and the lazy Susan band.
• 2:03
  Jay Bell.
• 2:04
  We have a lazy Susan band.
• 2:06
  Yes, sir.
• 2:08
  And then, who else have I interviewed on that show?
• 2:10
  Oh, yes.
• 2:11
  Of course.
• 2:11
  Mister Clayton Ryan will be there as well.
• 2:13
  Clayton, how you doing, brother?
• 2:15
  Dude, what's up, bud?
• 2:16
  We're just we're we're making it.
• 2:18
  We're figuring it out.
• 2:20
  Two days off is great in the middle of the tour.
• 2:23
  And, yeah, my the barista accidentally gave me a latte with espresso in it.
• 2:29
  I don't drink caffeine, and I'm already, like, stressing.
• 2:33
  Because I was like, oh, sweet.
• 2:34
  A golden milk latte.
• 2:36
  Let's go.
• 2:36
  Those don't have caffeine in them ever, and then this place does.
• 2:39
  Just
• 2:40
  Which is ironic being that we're in Provo, Salt Lake area where caffeine is a sin.
• 2:46
  I just heard some crazy news that in Texas now, you can get pulled over and get a DUI for being
• 2:52
  over caffeinated.
• 2:54
  Really?
• 2:55
  I
• 2:56
  haven't verified, but it is Texas.
• 2:59
  So
• 3:00
  To be fair, I know plenty of folks that drink an unhealthy amount of energy drinks that
• 3:04
  should be regulated, and they should be stopped.
• 3:07
  And I got I know plenty of dudes that chug two or three Celsiuses in the morning, and
• 3:12
  Oh my god.
• 3:13
  It's a it stresses me out.
• 3:15
  Maybe I'm just jealous because I can't do that anymore.
• 3:17
  I need
• 3:17
  to, but I Hey.
• 3:18
  It's so bad for your kidneys.
• 3:20
  They cannot appreciate all of that caffeine and all the other crap inside of them.
• 3:25
  Dude, I had a kidney stone earlier on tour this like, last week, and I don't know where it went
• 3:31
  because I didn't pass it.
• 3:32
  And I'm there's nothing bothering me anymore, but the pain was so bad once that I I actually
• 3:38
  passed out on our drive from Bozeman to, where were we going?
• 3:43
  Head back to Billings.
• 3:44
  Yeah.
• 3:44
  And I I passed out in the van.
• 3:47
  I've had it happen before, but not like it was weird.
• 3:49
  And it just disappeared.
• 3:50
  So I don't know if I just passed it in my sleep or if it's crawling its way up into my mouth.
• 3:55
  I don't know how kidney stones work, but I don't even drink energy drinks, so I'm mad that
• 4:00
  I got this thing.
• 4:02
  This is life on the road with Clayton Ryan.
• 4:05
  Kidney stones and rock and roll, baby.
• 4:08
  Oh, no.
• 4:08
  This Wild man.
• 4:09
  Welcome to the TMI tour.
• 4:12
  Well, I've been following along on the YouTube with the wild man series is absolutely
• 4:19
  incredible.
• 4:20
  Big kudos to you guys capturing all of that stuff, sharing it.
• 4:24
  Ryan Little Eagle, mutual friend, was on the episode yesterday.
• 4:28
  Just love it.
• 4:29
  You know, it's it's something that the world is craving.
• 4:33
  Right?
• 4:33
  All this content, and it's funny what people will end up watching.
• 4:37
  Right?
• 4:38
  You know?
• 4:39
  Oh my gosh.
• 4:39
  That's what I think whenever people watch five to seven minutes of me rambling mumbling
• 4:45
  through my words and eating a sardine, that's what I think too.
• 4:48
  People will watch anything.
• 4:49
  The dean of the day is my favorite part.
• 4:52
  Well, I want you to know, Bubba, season three, we're working on condensing that down to about
• 4:57
  ninety seconds flat.
• 4:58
  That way we can get some more exciting things than me saying, the fish is fishy.
• 5:05
  So you guys are about I'd what?
• 5:07
  So you're probably about two thirds of the way through the tour now, but what was the first
• 5:12
  part like?
• 5:12
  What is the first leg?
• 5:13
  You had some shows out there in Montana.
• 5:15
  You got into Seattle.
• 5:17
  Give us a little recap.
• 5:19
  Bro, it was exciting.
• 5:20
  We, our first show up in well, first show was in Saint Paul and crowded little joint on a
• 5:27
  Monday.
• 5:28
  People were having a good time.
• 5:29
  They were listening.
• 5:30
  It was kind of a really good listening room crowd.
• 5:33
  Tuesday, we end up in Bismarck, ended up as if we didn't plan it months into this.
• 5:37
  We meandered our way to Bismarck, had an awesome crowd.
• 5:41
  Some of the folks from the Mooncats were out there watching us play, and they a good crowd,
• 5:47
  good barbecue.
• 5:49
  Freaking Billings was an unexpected super fun time.
• 5:52
  We, ended up having an open mic before the show, and we got to pretty much have all of
• 5:57
  Billings open up for us, which was awesome.
• 5:59
  Made some friends.
• 5:59
  The owner was super cool, dramatic ass snow that night, which definitely was a huge change
• 6:06
  in weather between our day before.
• 6:09
  And then next morning, we went and played the first ever peanut butter and jam in the van at
• 6:16
  the the nutmobile from Planters was in town, and I contacted them on Instagram.
• 6:21
  And I got to talk to a guy by the name of Honey Roasted Ryan.
• 6:24
  Shout out to the crew.
• 6:26
  Hey.
• 6:26
  Hey.
• 6:27
  Katie and Jesse.
• 6:27
  They were great, man.
• 6:28
  It was fun.
• 6:29
  They let us play in their gigantic nutmobile, and then we went and had lunch with them.
• 6:35
  Tasha.
• 6:35
  Nuts Tasha.
• 6:36
  Dude, it's funny because you don't realize how much similarities there are between a touring
• 6:42
  musician and a touring representative of planters until you realize that we're all just
• 6:48
  going place to place, booking our own stuff, promoting it.
• 6:50
  The only difference is rather than singing, they procure nuts and peanut paraphernalia.
• 6:56
  Well, now you're, like, one degree of separation away from the wiener mobile, so we
• 7:01
  gotta make that happen too.
• 7:03
  If there's a sardine mobile out there, we will find it.
• 7:07
  There's gotta be one.
• 7:09
  There's gotta be, and we are going to make it happen.
• 7:13
  So Yeah.
• 7:14
  Very very event season three is gonna be very, very eventful.
• 7:18
  It's there's there's dramatic weather.
• 7:20
  There's really hilarious meetups with
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  nutmobile.
• 7:25
  The shows are all very different and very unique.
• 7:28
  And that's what's fun about touring.
• 7:30
  Right?
• 7:30
  I mean, that's why we go out on the road is we can get caught up, especially I I know you're
• 7:35
  playing a hometown show in the Black Hills, but Minnesota has become home to you now over the
• 7:41
  course of the last, what, fifteen, sixteen months.
• 7:44
  Right?
• 7:45
  This this building, this base in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and throughout the rest of of
• 7:50
  Minnesota, and it it has to feel a little bit like home there now, does it not?
• 7:57
  Oh, 100%.
• 7:59
  It's, fast approaching the most home I've had.
• 8:02
  I mean, the people in the Black Hills are always gonna be the family, and, like, that's
• 8:05
  always the place I'm gonna go to that feels like hometown.
• 8:08
  But Minnesota's definitely definitely making its case for why I'm gonna stay there.
• 8:15
  Although, I gotta say, man, I'm pretty pissed that I discovered Seattle at 29 because I wish
• 8:21
  I'd known about that city when I was, like, 20.
• 8:24
  I would have moved out there, man.
• 8:25
  That place is so freaking cool.
• 8:27
  Yeah.
• 8:28
  I've
• 8:28
  gone and built up this awesome community in Minnesota that I don't wanna leave, but crap is
• 8:32
  Seattle so freaking cool.
• 8:34
  So while we're talking about it, Sammy, why don't you describe the Seattle scene for us a
• 8:39
  little bit and kinda take us through the show?
• 8:42
  Oh,
• 8:43
  okay.
• 8:44
  The Seattle scene.
• 8:45
  Well, I've always wanted to go out to Seattle, so that was really fun.
• 8:50
  And to be with these young fine sellers on the road, it's been a lot of fun, and I kinda wish
• 8:56
  I had made a move out earlier to Seattle because coulda definitely spent some time in
• 9:01
  that lovely gloomy weather.
• 9:04
  And the road?
• 9:06
  Do you wanna know about the road, you said?
• 9:07
  Yeah.
• 9:09
  Honestly, it like, I feel like I belong on the road.
• 9:13
  And so it's just such a delight that they invited me to to come on this wild man tour,
• 9:20
  and I also just released a song called wild horse that I wrote about, I don't know, maybe
• 9:25
  six years ago.
• 9:28
  What has to do with kind of my traveling to Montana into Arizona and living with wild
• 9:34
  horses.
• 9:35
  And so just kind of visiting my second home in Montana was just, like, very meaningful to me.
• 9:42
  And then to make new memories with these guys, it's been a lot of fun.
• 9:46
  I I'm a sucker for cute downtowns and good friends and good music and good jokes, and it's
• 9:57
  just been a lot of fun.
• 9:58
  And like I said, I love the mountains, and I belong on the road.
• 10:02
  I'm writing a song about that right now, actually.
• 10:04
  So
• 10:04
  How poignant.
• 10:05
  Yeah.
• 10:08
  I don't have any complaints over here.
• 10:10
  Just That's fantastic.
• 10:12
  I didn't realize that you had some roots out there in the Mountain West.
• 10:16
  So I actually grew up in Deadwood, which you'll be visiting, very soon or at least getting very
• 10:21
  close to.
• 10:22
  And after we had moved from the Chicago area, all the trips consequently were headed west
• 10:27
  from there.
• 10:28
  Yellowstone, Bozeman, up to Glacier, out to Seattle, and, I actually lived out in Bend,
• 10:34
  Oregon for around three years.
• 10:37
  So out there on the East Side Of The Cascades, really beautiful area.
• 10:41
  I think you would love it out there, and Bend is a great music town as well.
• 10:45
  If I woulda had a little bit more heads up on the tour you were planning instead of getting
• 10:49
  the calendar, you know, a few weeks ago, maybe I coulda hooked it up.
• 10:54
  But next time, plenty of tours in our future.
• 10:56
  Yeah.
• 10:58
  And who knows?
• 10:59
  Maybe I'll cruise along the West Coast again with these awesome dudes.
• 11:04
  So, yeah, it's it's beautiful drive and getting to touch the ocean up there was just awesome.
• 11:10
  So yeah.
• 11:11
  It rejuvenates the soul, doesn't it?
• 11:13
  To get out and to get away from home?
• 11:16
  You're in Minneapolis now, correct, or in the Minnesota area?
• 11:20
  Yeah.
• 11:20
  I moved back home during the pandemic.
• 11:24
  So, yeah, it's, yeah, back in mid good old Minneapolis.
• 11:28
  Yeah.
• 11:29
  Well, and that's where we're headed.
• 11:31
  So you got just a few shows left before you get back into Minneapolis.
• 11:34
  We talked about the show at the Green Room.
• 11:37
  Xander, why don't you, kinda take us through what this tour has meant for you and, you know,
• 11:43
  what it will mean kind of returning home a little bit to conquering heroes this time?
• 11:49
  Oh, dude.
• 11:49
  I gotta tell you.
• 11:50
  It's been awesome to have, like, a both kickoff tour and a return home.
• 11:54
  What am I saying?
• 11:55
  A kick a show at home to kick off the tour and to return.
• 11:58
  It's it's pretty sweet, man.
• 11:59
  The hometown vibes are always great.
• 12:01
  I gotta tell you, this is the most organized we've ever been on tour, which has been pretty
• 12:05
  incredible regarding the van, at least.
• 12:07
  We've got all of our musical gear in the van, and then Casey Carlson, our videographer, was
• 12:12
  able to secure a nice little, trailer, from his uncle Mike.
• 12:17
  So shout out to uncle Mike.
• 12:18
  Oh my He hooked us up, dude.
• 12:20
  So we're able to throw all of our camping gear and bedding in there.
• 12:22
  So we've been super clean and have plenty of room in the van, which has been awesome.
• 12:27
  Dude, it always just means so much to me whenever I can hit the road with my homies,
• 12:31
  especially going out west.
• 12:32
  There's just something magical about the wild West.
• 12:34
  It just rejuvenates my soul seeing the mountains and being so close and being able to
• 12:38
  touch all these mountains and even seeing snow.
• 12:40
  It's warming up out here, but seeing snow up on the mountains and everything, it's just so
• 12:44
  cool.
• 12:45
  Oh, man.
• 12:45
  Sorry.
• 12:46
  I got a gnarly Uh-oh.
• 12:49
  They found you.
• 12:50
  Hold on one second.
• 12:53
  Hey.
• 12:53
  I I like the live feel, man.
• 12:55
  It doesn't bother me.
• 12:57
  We have a siren that goes off about four times a day here in Tyndall.
• 13:01
  I have to plan my podcast episodes around it because I live right next door to it.
• 13:05
  Oh my gosh.
• 13:06
  Sorry about that.
• 13:07
  That was crazy.
• 13:08
  That's what
• 13:08
  happens in in Provost.
• 13:10
  You think about drinking coffee.
• 13:14
  Exactly.
• 13:16
  Well, you shout it out.
• 13:17
  Is Casey around the table with you guys too?
• 13:19
  My squad.
• 13:20
  No.
• 13:20
  He's he's actually protecting all of our gear inside of this cafe we're, cooped up at at the
• 13:24
  moment.
• 13:26
  Well, tell him.
• 13:26
  Lovings.
• 13:27
  It's a lovings.
• 13:28
  Yeah.
• 13:28
  Well and you tell him that that we absolutely love the footage that he's been capturing and
• 13:33
  just a a big shout out to the man behind the lens.
• 13:36
  You know, we were we were just awarded a content creator of the year award through the
• 13:40
  Midwest Country Music Organization, but I don't necessarily capture the content.
• 13:45
  Right?
• 13:45
  I'm an in front of the camera, you know, guy.
• 13:49
  I am a planner.
• 13:50
  I am a producer, but I don't do the actual work that people are seeing.
• 13:55
  Right?
• 13:56
  You know, in front of my camera on Zoom, I guess, yes, but, the the stuff that we got
• 14:01
  coming out this year requires partnerships with incredible artists that know how to work that
• 14:07
  lens.
• 14:07
  And, Casey's one of the best that I've ever seen, man.
• 14:10
  So big shout out to Casey.
• 14:12
  You can tell him that, he's got a job at the scene projects whenever you guys get rid of
• 14:16
  him.
• 14:17
  You got it, man.
• 14:18
  Heck yeah.
• 14:19
  Yeah.
• 14:19
  He's great, man.
• 14:19
  We love him.
• 14:20
  Not only is he a road dog and just so great on the road and easy to get along with, he just
• 14:25
  he's he's so freaking talented, man.
• 14:27
  I don't know what we would do without him.
• 14:29
  Well, you wouldn't have a hit YouTube show.
• 14:31
  That's for sure.
• 14:33
  That's for sure, man.
• 14:34
  We we have a hit YouTube show?
• 14:36
  Hey.
• 14:36
  It's a hit in my world, and that's about all I care about these days.
• 14:40
  As the as the world continues to spin out of control, I find solace in just digging in even
• 14:48
  harder to my little world, which isn't so little.
• 14:51
  Right?
• 14:51
  You're talking about several hundred artists that are out there, all existing in their own
• 14:55
  worlds.
• 14:55
  Right?
• 14:56
  No different from you all, but I get to kinda tap into that occasionally, have some
• 15:00
  conversations.
• 15:01
  We record them.
• 15:02
  We call it a podcast, but it's really just archiving our lives for the record.
• 15:06
  Oh,
• 15:07
  yeah.
• 15:08
  That's the that's the cool part, man.
• 15:10
  We get to run into so many friends on the road, especially this tour so far.
• 15:13
  Like, running into the moon cats was super cool.
• 15:15
  When we were playing in Bozeman, actually, we had a couple repeat customers, which was super
• 15:19
  cool.
• 15:19
  This this gentleman that was playing violin out on the streets just busking last time Clayton
• 15:24
  and I were here.
• 15:24
  We threw him a couple bucks and invited him on to the show, and he came on to this last one
• 15:29
  and remembered our names and everything.
• 15:31
  It was so sweet.
• 15:32
  He's like, you guys keep doing the dream keep following your dreams.
• 15:34
  Keep doing the thing, and I can't wait to see you.
• 15:36
  He's like, hopefully, next time I see you here, you guys will be playing the bigger side of the
• 15:40
  armory here.
• 15:42
  So
• 15:42
  Well, and, Xander, being
• 15:44
  people are.
• 15:44
  From the cities like you are, I think it's hard for you to comprehend how slow and boring life
• 15:50
  can be out in the Mountain West.
• 15:52
  You know, just just because in the cities where you could meet someone and then a month later
• 15:57
  see them again and they maybe not remember your name, where out in the Mountain West, those
• 16:02
  people will remember you for years.
• 16:04
  Right?
• 16:05
  You could come back three years later, and there will still be the same people in the same
• 16:09
  place doing the same thing talking about that time they met Xander and Clayton and Sammy out
• 16:14
  on the road.
• 16:15
  And that's the beauty of getting out and touring is going out to reach those people and
• 16:19
  especially the way that y'all have been doing it, really dipping into smaller markets.
• 16:24
  Right?
• 16:24
  I mean, Billings, Montana, not a huge tour stop for a lot of people.
• 16:29
  You know, going through Provo, Utah.
• 16:31
  I I know I don't know if you guys played a show out in that area or not, but once again, a
• 16:35
  small one.
• 16:36
  The Black Hills are very, very small too.
• 16:38
  So it it's a blessing to have such talented people that will dedicate their lives to their
• 16:44
  craft and then take that out and to visit us in these small towns.
• 16:49
  Right?
• 16:49
  Like, that is a blessing, not just for you, but also for all of these people that are coming
• 16:53
  out to the shows too.
• 16:54
  And I think that's something that we all have to remember, as we're out there.
• 17:00
  Most definitely.
• 17:01
  Yeah.
• 17:01
  I don't know, man.
• 17:02
  It's just it's always nice to make new connections no matter where we go.
• 17:05
  And whether or not they remember us, we hope we can we can leave a little piece of ourselves
• 17:09
  with everybody that we play for and, hope they reciprocate it.
• 17:13
  And so far, so good, man.
• 17:14
  I'm sorry.
• 17:14
  This has been a wonderful tour.
• 17:16
  Awesome.
• 17:16
  Zander, how are the arms feeling?
• 17:18
  I know you've been working out this trip.
• 17:20
  Dude, they're feeling good, man.
• 17:22
  I made a goal of a hundred push ups and a hundred crunches a day so far.
• 17:25
  Thanks, Sammy.
• 17:27
  So far, think I've done a 50 crunches this whole tour so far, but I made it about 75,
• 17:34
  almost a hundred push ups every day, and I'm feeling good, dude.
• 17:37
  I've never felt this good ever.
• 17:40
  It's pretty nice.
• 17:40
  I don't know if it's just like the fresh air from the mountains too, but, yeah, man.
• 17:44
  It's the fact that you and it's the fact that you and Clayton aren't putting down a bottle of
• 17:49
  Tennessee whiskey, in the hotel room after the show as you were on the, on the YouTube last
• 17:55
  night.
• 17:55
  Oh, shoot.
• 17:56
  No.
• 17:56
  No.
• 17:57
  Not this tour, dude.
• 17:58
  Oh my gosh.
• 17:58
  That's my favorite episode.
• 18:00
  Episode three of season two is my favorite, dude.
• 18:03
  Oh my god.
• 18:04
  Casey's little callback to the night before with Clayton doing a screamo.
• 18:07
  Was thinking it was just
• 18:08
  That was
• 18:09
  me up.
• 18:09
  I lost it.
• 18:10
  Right?
• 18:10
  Man, I don't know what's bothering my throat.
• 18:13
  A quick cut to him screaming on the microphone.
• 18:16
  Just epic.
• 18:17
  You guys are doing it, and I'm glad that we got to jump on the phone today.
• 18:21
  I I know you're busy, I don't wanna keep you forever.
• 18:23
  Why don't you go ahead and shout out the last few tours, and then we'll hit with some parting
• 18:27
  shots.
• 18:28
  Alright.
• 18:29
  Today, Laramie, Wyoming, the roughed up duck.
• 18:32
  Tomorrow, Fort Collins, we're going to the neighbor.
• 18:35
  So the day after that, Thursday, Spearfish, we're going to the Matthews Opera House where
• 18:38
  we're working with the Black Hills Writers Collective collaboration.
• 18:42
  It's gonna be sick as hell.
• 18:43
  And then Friday, Woodgreen Brewing in Sioux Falls downtown.
• 18:48
  Come on out East River.
• 18:50
  And then homecoming show Minneapolis, the green room in uptown, and that's what we got.
• 18:55
  And then I think a week after that, Xander and I head down to Oklahoma City for the Rose Rock
• 19:03
  Music Festival and the play.
• 19:04
  We're opening for Parker Millsap at the deli in Norman and with Tyler Bird and the flock, and
• 19:10
  that's gonna be a super cool little quick down and back, make a few bucks, hang out in
• 19:17
  Oklahoma.
• 19:18
  Can't stop.
• 19:19
  Won't stop, baby.
• 19:20
  No.
• 19:20
  I can't.
• 19:21
  No.
• 19:21
  You've inspired me, man.
• 19:23
  I'm taking the scene projects on the road this year, a little bit different than going out
• 19:28
  with a band.
• 19:29
  Right?
• 19:29
  I just said, well, I'm gonna go out with my microphones.
• 19:32
  We'll plan some more songwriter showcases in different markets around and taking my friend
• 19:36
  Bertie Young along with me now too as her tour kind of fell apart around the same time.
• 19:41
  And, you know, sometimes that's just God making way for the right things.
• 19:44
  Right?
• 19:45
  You have to be willing to roll with the punches, especially out on the road and to keep
• 19:49
  going with a smile on your face.
• 19:51
  So you guys are gonna be in my neck of the woods this Friday.
• 19:54
  We've already made plans to kind of be around Sioux Falls that day, so we're gonna have to
• 19:58
  pop in and see you.
• 19:59
  A lot of shows this week.
• 20:00
  Obviously, the twenty fourth, Matthew's Opera House, all of our Black Hills fans get out
• 20:05
  there, check out that show in Spearfish, South Dakota.
• 20:07
  Woodgrain Brewery is downtown Sioux Falls.
• 20:09
  That's April 25.
• 20:11
  And then the Green Room uptown Minneapolis on April 26.
• 20:14
  You guys catch them all on tour.
• 20:16
  Any parting shots before I let you guys get out of here?
• 20:20
  Thanks for what you're doing, Bubba.
• 20:21
  We appreciate you so much.
• 20:23
  Thanks for taking the time, to talk with us today and to deal with all the loud noises
• 20:27
  around us in Provo.
• 20:30
  Epic, man.
• 20:30
  Well, Sammy, Xander, and Clayton Ryan, thank you guys so much for being a part of the scene
• 20:35
  and doing exactly what you're doing.
• 20:37
  Don't stop.
• 20:39
  Thank you.
• 20:40
  Thanks, buddy.
• 20:40
  Nice to meet you, and thanks for everybody listening.
• 20:44
  We'll see you soon.
