0:00
Speaker 1: Wayne d catching up with somebody who has avoided us
0:02
Speaker 1: because of alcohol consumption.
0:04
Speaker 2: I'm kidding, that's not why. That's not why.
0:06
Speaker 1: Megan n Rumors, Meg and Roney, welcome back to the studio.
0:09
Speaker 3: Glad to have you, dear, good to see y'all.
0:12
Speaker 1: I gotta ask because obviously you didn't just come out
0:16
Speaker 1: with all pink. You made a statement like this is
0:18
Speaker 1: part of my next era of my music?
0:20
Speaker 2: Was that a goal to like.
0:23
Speaker 1: Bring the colors with where you're at musically and like
0:26
Speaker 1: to make it more of it's cool because it's not
0:29
Speaker 1: just like here's my song.
0:30
Speaker 2: It's kind of like, hey, here's a whole new era,
0:32
Speaker 2: here's a new experience, right I yeah.
0:35
Speaker 3: I think with Lucky it was just naturally green and gold.
0:39
Speaker 3: So that was that kind of a thing. And I
0:40
Speaker 3: think I realized during the miok era that people I
0:45
Speaker 3: was associating colors with my albums, but so did other people,
0:48
Speaker 3: So am I okay? I would say all the venues
0:51
Speaker 3: were about ninety five percent blue, but there was little
0:55
Speaker 3: spots of greens, like full head to toe green, and
0:58
Speaker 3: I took that as okay. There like a Lucky like
1:01
Speaker 3: number one fan of Lucky and am I okay? Is fine,
1:04
Speaker 3: but they're here for lucky. So I think even just
1:07
Speaker 3: seeing that last year, as soon as I got you know,
1:10
Speaker 3: as soon as I put out am I okay to
1:12
Speaker 3: everyone was like, so what's the next color? Are you
1:14
Speaker 3: playing the next color? And it kind of just I
1:18
Speaker 3: already saw colors when I wrote songs, but it even like,
1:20
Speaker 3: I guess, ramped it up even more because I'm like, oh,
1:22
Speaker 3: now everyone's waiting on the color. I gotta really decide this.
1:25
Speaker 3: So about like three songs into writing Cloud nine, I
1:29
Speaker 3: was like, it's pink.
1:31
Speaker 2: Gotta be pink.
1:31
Speaker 1: We're talking before we hear record here about my daughter
1:35
Speaker 1: freaking out coming to the show. I was like, she
1:38
Speaker 1: was like, oh, her new color is pink. And at
1:41
Speaker 1: that point, which I should have known this already, this
1:43
Speaker 1: being my job, I go her color, well, yeah, it's
1:46
Speaker 1: new music, so a new color. And I go, that's cool,
1:50
Speaker 1: I think, and she goes, it's very Taylor Swift vibes.
1:54
Speaker 2: Is that that's a compliment, right.
1:56
Speaker 1: Like, oh yeah, yeah, because she's done a great job
1:59
Speaker 1: at making it more than just her music, making it
2:02
Speaker 1: an experience. Has that always been the goal for you
2:05
Speaker 1: to make it more than like, I don't just want
2:06
Speaker 1: to be a song you listen to.
2:07
Speaker 2: I want to be like a whole vibe for you.
2:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that I always have my
2:13
Speaker 3: hands in every single part of my career, so it
2:15
Speaker 3: just kind of happens naturally. But yeah, I love that
2:19
Speaker 3: her shows are like an experience. I think my shows
2:23
Speaker 3: are like that too, But yeah, it's definitely a compliment.
2:26
Speaker 1: Obviously, it's everyone's talking end of year, like here's the
2:30
Speaker 1: most listened to, the most downloaded, the most streamed.
2:32
Speaker 2: And all that.
2:33
Speaker 1: We saw the massive takeover down the street here of
2:37
Speaker 1: an entire building.
2:39
Speaker 2: Streams.
2:41
Speaker 1: It's a different platform than the IHEARTRADIOPP which you should download.
2:43
Speaker 2: And used all the time.
2:45
Speaker 1: But it's that side of the success because obviously you
2:49
Speaker 1: write the songs and you want to perform for people,
2:51
Speaker 1: and maybe you don't necessarily even think about the streaming
2:54
Speaker 1: success that you could have or where people are getting
2:56
Speaker 1: the music. When you see numbers like that you've done
2:59
Speaker 1: this year, is it like, is there a little holy
3:02
Speaker 1: shit there?
3:04
Speaker 3: I think yeah, definitely, When you like, like I went
3:07
Speaker 3: out and took pictures down there, and when you see
3:09
Speaker 3: like that many streams, I'm like, definitely can't count that high.
3:12
Speaker 3: So it's definitely cool, But I don't focus too much
3:16
Speaker 3: on that because I I've learned from like some mentors
3:19
Speaker 3: that like you never you've got to stay kind of
3:22
Speaker 3: like even keeled throughout the whole thing, because when really
3:25
Speaker 3: cool things happen like that, it's amazing. But that's not
3:28
Speaker 3: always going to be the case. So as an artist,
3:30
Speaker 3: I think isn't a creative just as a creative person,
3:33
Speaker 3: it's better for me to just be like, okay, cool,
3:35
Speaker 3: and then I keep it pushing, you know, Like I
3:38
Speaker 3: think that says like when I see that, I'm like, oh,
3:41
Speaker 3: I have the best fans in the world.
3:42
Speaker 2: So when it comes to things that you chase for, like.
3:48
Speaker 1: I don't want to say fulfillment, but like you have
3:50
Speaker 1: goals like I want to get to this, right, I
3:52
Speaker 1: want to get to this.
3:53
Speaker 2: For a lot of artists, it's like.
3:54
Speaker 1: Oh, I want Entertainers of the Year or I want
3:56
Speaker 1: ACM here or CMA there, and they'll get to that
3:59
Speaker 1: and go, oh wow, how I wanted more.
4:01
Speaker 2: It didn't do what I thought it would do better. Right,
4:03
Speaker 2: What are some of the.
4:03
Speaker 1: Lessons you've already learned career wise that you're like, oh,
4:06
Speaker 1: I want to get that, but you got there and you're.
4:08
Speaker 2: Like, oh yeah.
4:10
Speaker 3: I mean I think with any I always say like
4:12
Speaker 3: winning awards is amazing and there's it's always nice to
4:15
Speaker 3: be validated by the industry or whether it's fan voted,
4:20
Speaker 3: whatever it is. Yeah, no one's ever going to be
4:22
Speaker 3: mad about winning awards. But like I said, I think
4:25
Speaker 3: it's like how you act when you don't win and
4:27
Speaker 3: being like like, you can't be hard on yourself for that,
4:30
Speaker 3: because what matters to me is like I write a
4:32
Speaker 3: song like beautiful Things and I have dad's writing in
4:36
Speaker 3: moms writing in kids themselves being like this song saved
4:39
Speaker 3: my life and like that kind of stuff to me
4:41
Speaker 3: is what makes me like grateful to be able to
4:44
Speaker 3: do it. It makes me want to write more songs
4:46
Speaker 3: like that, and it makes me I've always felt for
4:49
Speaker 3: some reason that this was like my purpose, especially when
4:51
Speaker 3: I first started writing songs that like where I would
4:54
Speaker 3: get messages from people that are like, you know, I
4:57
Speaker 3: wanted to die and the song helped me. And I'm like, like,
5:00
Speaker 3: when you get into this, you don't know that you
5:02
Speaker 3: have that kind of influence on people. So when you
5:04
Speaker 3: do realize you have that influence. I think that's what
5:07
Speaker 3: I prioritize. But goals wise, I have random goals like
5:11
Speaker 3: I want to wax.
5:12
Speaker 2: Figure that's that's dope actually.
5:15
Speaker 3: And like randomly, I want a song that like gets
5:19
Speaker 3: played in every like TJ Max, like every thirty minutes,
5:22
Speaker 3: like like you know what I mean, random goals just
5:26
Speaker 3: because I'd be like cool, you know.
5:28
Speaker 2: Listen.
5:29
Speaker 1: The other thing about that is because like all we've
5:31
Speaker 1: gone through the grocery store. I live like thirty minutes
5:34
Speaker 1: south here, so like I'll go to the grocery store
5:36
Speaker 1: on a Saturday and a random jam comes on at
5:38
Speaker 1: it's a Kroger. Like they could totally put out an
5:41
Speaker 1: album and call it Kroger Cuts and.
5:43
Speaker 2: I would buy the hell out of that.
5:44
Speaker 3: Yeah.
5:45
Speaker 2: Right, So like life goals, I.
5:46
Speaker 3: Can find random stuff. But the main purpose I think
5:50
Speaker 3: of all this is to just make music that I
5:53
Speaker 3: experience things and obviously was given a gift of songwriting,
5:57
Speaker 3: and so I want to use that in a way.
5:59
Speaker 3: As long as I'm writing and being authentic, then I'm like,
6:02
Speaker 3: the words are great, but I just really care about
6:05
Speaker 3: touching people and helping them get through shit.
6:08
Speaker 1: Well, so That's interesting because a lot of artists, and
6:11
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you in general, but I'm generalizing a
6:15
Speaker 1: songwriter like just want to write songs. Yeah, you got feelings,
6:18
Speaker 1: you got words. They end up melting together beautifully. I'd
6:22
Speaker 1: imagine the goal wasn't always like I just want to
6:24
Speaker 1: make people feel something. Right, If it wasn't, at what
6:27
Speaker 1: point you talk about, you know, the songs connecting and
6:31
Speaker 1: saving lives.
6:31
Speaker 2: At what point we were like, oh, this is bigger
6:33
Speaker 2: than I thought it would be.
6:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean at first, I was just writing songs
6:38
Speaker 3: to get through my life because I didn't have any
6:40
Speaker 3: other outlet, and that was like one thing where I
6:42
Speaker 3: could write about it and then I would immediately feel
6:44
Speaker 3: better about the situation because it's almost I explain it
6:47
Speaker 3: to people, like this situation happened to me. I can
6:50
Speaker 3: write about it. But now I put it out in
6:52
Speaker 3: the world to help other people, and that doesn't I
6:54
Speaker 3: just I don't carry that with me anymore. I carry
6:57
Speaker 3: now I get to share this and like we can
6:59
Speaker 3: all heal together and we can all enjoyed the same
7:02
Speaker 3: music together. And I think it was when I was overseas,
7:05
Speaker 3: and I can't remember if it was Australia or Europe first.
7:08
Speaker 3: But when I heard people like singing Tennessee orange and
7:12
Speaker 3: people like tearing up over Tennessee orange like over there,
7:15
Speaker 3: that was when I was like, oh, this is like
7:17
Speaker 3: way bigger than me, just like posting a song on
7:20
Speaker 3: TikTok and seeing if people like it or not, and
7:22
Speaker 3: like putting Georgia and Tennessee fans against each other like
7:25
Speaker 3: this is like how do y'all even know, like what
7:29
Speaker 3: the SEC rivalry is, you know? And yeah, I think
7:34
Speaker 3: that was the moment where I was like, oh, this
7:36
Speaker 3: is this is bigger than I ever imagined.
7:38
Speaker 1: So I note there wasn't lots of a rivalry this
7:40
Speaker 1: year the way things went to Tennessee.
7:43
Speaker 3: I was promised national championship tickets if we make it there.
7:47
Speaker 3: So since it's some prayers up for the dog.
7:50
Speaker 2: Listen, we'll make listen.
7:51
Speaker 1: Well, we're Switzerland when it comes to college football because
7:56
Speaker 1: I'm from Minnesota, she's from from Vegas. We're hearing out
8:00
Speaker 1: so there isn't like we we're bandwagoners, right, So if
8:04
Speaker 1: you tell us we're Dogs fans for the rest of
8:06
Speaker 1: the year, go dougs, learn how to break. I'm gonna
8:09
Speaker 1: get my ass beat next time I go to Kroger now.
8:12
Speaker 2: But it's fine. You're worth it.
8:15
Speaker 1: When you look back, you're and I say, look back
8:18
Speaker 1: right on a career that probably still feels so new
8:21
Speaker 1: to you. But when you look back, you obviously talked
8:23
Speaker 1: about connecting with fans. What are other moments that you're like,
8:27
Speaker 1: I'm even in what we do, there's moments that we're like, Man,
8:31
Speaker 1: I'm where I'm supposed to be. Like that that happened,
8:34
Speaker 1: and now I know where I'm supposed to be. What
8:36
Speaker 1: are a handful of those moments for you that have
8:38
Speaker 1: happened maybe recently?
8:40
Speaker 3: Oh, man, I mean it happens all the time. I
8:43
Speaker 3: feel like since the beginning of my career, stuff has
8:45
Speaker 3: happened where I'm like, this is someone else intervening in
8:48
Speaker 3: my life, like that, this is like what I'm supposed
8:51
Speaker 3: to be doing. The fact that my first show is
8:53
Speaker 3: that the George's Theater opening for Chase Rice because he
8:55
Speaker 3: just so happened to be at the sorority that I chose, Like,
8:58
Speaker 3: I go back all the time and I I think,
9:00
Speaker 3: what if I didn't rush Kad in college? That's like
9:03
Speaker 3: such a small thing, But we were the only sorty
9:06
Speaker 3: that had a concert for a flamthpy thing, you know,
9:08
Speaker 3: So if we didn't, if I was in a different sorty,
9:10
Speaker 3: the different flampy thing, I would have never even had
9:12
Speaker 3: the opportunity to open for anybody. That would have led
9:15
Speaker 3: me to where I'm at now. So it started since
9:17
Speaker 3: the beginning, and I don't know, it happens all the time.
9:21
Speaker 3: There was a Oh I found out too, I might
9:24
Speaker 3: rill into signs and stuff. Wait when is this airing?
9:29
Speaker 1: Actually, this won't air If you have something time sensitive,
9:33
Speaker 1: we'll we'll chop it out and save.
9:34
Speaker 3: Okay, Well in twenty fourteen, yeah, because it's been eleven years.
9:41
Speaker 3: On October fourth, twenty fourteen, I met Casey musk Graves
9:45
Speaker 3: outside of her bus and my dad pulled up the
9:48
Speaker 3: picture and that's the iPhone said that, So I'm not
9:50
Speaker 3: like just creepy and like at eleven fifty eight on
9:55
Speaker 3: but on. So that was October fourth, twenty fourteen. Eleven
9:59
Speaker 3: years later, October fourth, twenty twenty five, we got a
10:02
Speaker 3: call from her manager saying that she was gonna be
10:04
Speaker 3: on my song. And it's like exactly eleven years later. Oh,
10:08
Speaker 3: and we found out at nine oh nine, and we've
10:11
Speaker 3: been obsessed with nine because of Cloud nine. Yeah, so
10:13
Speaker 3: it's just like when things like that happen, I'm like,
10:15
Speaker 3: there's no way that this is all just like coincidental,
10:18
Speaker 3: and I'm just like I'm just here and just got lucky,
10:22
Speaker 3: Like there's there's no way.
10:24
Speaker 1: So which really we started telling this story in the
10:27
Speaker 1: ninth minute of the interview too, But I.
10:28
Speaker 3: Mean, okay, we're getting we're getting all over wild.
10:33
Speaker 2: We'll clip that.
10:35
Speaker 1: Just let us know when that's okay, because I'd imagine
10:37
Speaker 1: that's a track listing reveal type thing.
10:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, just let us know when you know. Weird January nine.
10:47
Speaker 1: Country music is such a cool family, and I know
10:49
Speaker 1: that you have a unique relationship with Kenny Chesney. And
10:54
Speaker 1: Kenny is a guy that we've gotten close with over
10:57
Speaker 1: the years and like talk about just I mean, he
11:01
Speaker 1: could get mobbed anywhere he went. But also if you
11:03
Speaker 1: talk to him, it's like it's like he doesn't get
11:06
Speaker 1: that he's Kenny Jacty.
11:08
Speaker 2: What was that? How did that friendship form?
11:10
Speaker 1: And what is support like that from somebody who is
11:13
Speaker 1: widely established? Right, and you're still I don't want to
11:16
Speaker 1: say you're new, but you're still very much establishing what
11:18
Speaker 1: you want your career to be, right, what does this
11:20
Speaker 1: support like.
11:20
Speaker 2: That and how did that mean to you? And how
11:22
Speaker 2: did that friendship start.
11:24
Speaker 3: So we first went out to breakfast when I found
11:27
Speaker 3: out I was going to open for him on the
11:28
Speaker 3: Sun Goes Down tour. So it was early twenty twenty four.
11:31
Speaker 3: We met for the first time, just so that our
11:33
Speaker 3: first time meeting wasn't at the first show. And I
11:37
Speaker 3: remember calling my mom and being like, I'm on my
11:39
Speaker 3: way to breakfast with Kenny Chesney and my mom was
11:42
Speaker 3: like nah. And now like he had this book come
11:45
Speaker 3: out and he wrote my mom a personal like signed book,
11:48
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like my mom and him
11:52
Speaker 3: are friends now too, And it's just crazy how he
11:55
Speaker 3: is Kenny Chesney. But he is everything you hoped he
11:58
Speaker 3: would be. Generous. He is like kind to everyone. He
12:04
Speaker 3: his team is incredible. Being able to learn from him
12:07
Speaker 3: as a touring artist like definitely helped me on stage.
12:11
Speaker 3: And I would watch him side stage every single night
12:13
Speaker 3: because I'm trying to take notes. He's He's like, oh yeah,
12:16
Speaker 3: this is the tenth time we've filled out the stadium
12:17
Speaker 3: and I'm like, like, no chance in hell, I'm going
12:21
Speaker 3: on the bus and like watching a movie, like I'm
12:23
Speaker 3: like standing side stage taking notes, And I think just
12:29
Speaker 3: his mentorship, like whether it's you know, with the business,
12:32
Speaker 3: whether it's with touring, like outside of the business, just relationships, friendships.
12:38
Speaker 3: He always he's gone through a lot and he has
12:41
Speaker 3: a lot of advice to give, and he's just he
12:44
Speaker 3: always checks in, makes sure like me and my whole
12:47
Speaker 3: team are good, and he's just like so kind. And
12:50
Speaker 3: I remember I remember at the very beginning, I was like,
12:54
Speaker 3: I can't believe, like Kenny Jesney and I are friends,
12:56
Speaker 3: Like this is crazy, And even though now I'm way
13:00
Speaker 3: more used to it, sometimes I'm so like when he
13:02
Speaker 3: puts his cowboy hat on and like has the show,
13:04
Speaker 3: I'm like, damn, that's gay, Jess.
13:06
Speaker 2: It's funny. Before that though, You're like, I know.
13:08
Speaker 3: It was just a guy who had a beatie on
13:10
Speaker 3: when I met him, so I'm like, oh, he's just
13:11
Speaker 3: like a normal guy. And then when I saw him
13:14
Speaker 3: at the tour for the first time with his hat on,
13:16
Speaker 3: I was like, it's like putting on his superhero cape.
13:22
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, shoot, I.
13:25
Speaker 1: Also want to touch base with you on we are
13:28
Speaker 1: as country radio. We are blessed to live in the
13:31
Speaker 1: air that we do because the music being made by
13:35
Speaker 1: the females in this genre is arguably the best it's
13:38
Speaker 1: ever been, with the strength of artists, the strength of shows.
13:43
Speaker 1: You have artists like you, artists like Kelsey Ballerini who
13:46
Speaker 1: a handful of years we didn't know their names and
13:48
Speaker 1: now they're headlining bridge Stone Arena, right which is a
13:52
Speaker 1: massive deal. What does it mean for you to have
13:55
Speaker 1: a piece of what's happening with females and country music
13:59
Speaker 1: right now?
14:00
Speaker 3: I think it's amazing. I mean, we all have such
14:03
Speaker 3: distinct lanes too, and a unique perspective that I think
14:08
Speaker 3: just feels really authentic. And thanks to social media, we
14:11
Speaker 3: can promote ourselves and get the word out about our
14:15
Speaker 3: music that way. And it's just really cool to see
14:19
Speaker 3: so many women killing it, you know. It's like we're
14:22
Speaker 3: giving the guys a run for their money. We're like, hello,
14:24
Speaker 3: we're here. We're very much here.
14:27
Speaker 2: As you should.
14:29
Speaker 1: There is a weight that comes with that, though, and
14:31
Speaker 1: a responsibility that comes at especially with the grind. How
14:35
Speaker 1: do you unplug and what are signs you have for
14:39
Speaker 1: yourself and signs you have for your team, Like, hey, Megan,
14:43
Speaker 1: need's mental break here for a little bit. How do
14:45
Speaker 1: you make sure that that stays a priority for you.
14:48
Speaker 3: I think over the years, my fan or my team
14:51
Speaker 3: has been really good at making time off for me.
14:54
Speaker 3: They know about what I can mentally handle. So the
14:57
Speaker 3: breaks are like already they're planned out ahead of time,
15:01
Speaker 3: which I learned early in my career, Like, Okay, I
15:04
Speaker 3: can't go to the UK for four weeks because like
15:06
Speaker 3: by the fourth week, I'm not good. So I think
15:11
Speaker 3: it's just taken time to get that balance. But honestly,
15:14
Speaker 3: I'm obsessed with my job, and I think it's in
15:18
Speaker 3: a healthy way. But it's one of those things where
15:20
Speaker 3: like I used to write songs and play guitar, like
15:22
Speaker 3: with my dad to like on weekends when there's nothing
15:26
Speaker 3: else to do. So it's always been like fun for me,
15:29
Speaker 3: and I feel grateful that it's still fun, you know,
15:32
Speaker 3: Like I've got great people around me and amazing fans
15:36
Speaker 3: that make it really enjoyable. And sure there's days that
15:38
Speaker 3: it's harder and it sucks, but I think when you
15:41
Speaker 3: zoom out and you can just tough it out, it's
15:44
Speaker 3: like this is so great. You know like this, the
15:50
Speaker 3: stars aligning and stuff like this. It takes so much
15:53
Speaker 3: luck and God and timing for all of this to happen.
15:56
Speaker 3: And I just try to take every moment, try to
16:00
Speaker 3: be in the moment and not take it for granted.
16:02
Speaker 1: Last thing I want to ask, because I know we
16:04
Speaker 1: got to run. We are the second you leave diving
16:07
Speaker 1: into day one of our forty eight hours Saint Jude Radio,
16:10
Speaker 1: don we were talking to you were just there. But
16:13
Speaker 1: also Saint Jude has been something that once you learned
16:16
Speaker 1: about it, you're like, I'm in Yeah, I've heard You've
16:19
Speaker 1: even something about what was it with dresses, Like you've
16:21
Speaker 1: donated dress?
16:22
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've donated some dresses of course.
16:25
Speaker 1: So if you can real quick, whether it be what
16:27
Speaker 1: Saint Jude means to you or a Saint Jude's story
16:31
Speaker 1: that as I say, Saint Jude, you're like the first
16:33
Speaker 1: memory that pops up, if you could share with us,
16:35
Speaker 1: to share with our audiences.
16:38
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I got to tour Saint Jude I think
16:42
Speaker 3: a year ago, and it just like really changed my life.
16:45
Speaker 3: I think when you go in there, there's so much
16:47
Speaker 3: love in the halls, and there's it's one of those
16:51
Speaker 3: things where you want to help, Like you go there
16:54
Speaker 3: and you're like, like I was ready to drain my
16:56
Speaker 3: bank account because I'm like, I want to do everything
16:58
Speaker 3: I can to help these families. They're in such good spirits.
17:02
Speaker 3: The nurses are so amazing, and I don't think you
17:04
Speaker 3: get it until you really tour it. So I highly
17:07
Speaker 3: recommend if I don't know even know if that's open
17:10
Speaker 3: to everybody or whatever the situation is, but like it
17:13
Speaker 3: really did change my life seeing it, and I've I've
17:16
Speaker 3: made it a tradition to go there every year now.
17:20
Speaker 3: I just went the other day, and I just want
17:22
Speaker 3: to end my year that way, you know, to give
17:25
Speaker 3: back and just show up for these kids that are
17:28
Speaker 3: having a really hard time if you can just make
17:30
Speaker 3: them smile and their family smile for just a second.
17:33
Speaker 3: Like the people that work there were just saying, like,
17:36
Speaker 3: we don't see them smile very often, so this means
17:39
Speaker 3: so much to them. And whether it's you know, a
17:42
Speaker 3: financial donation or my time and both, I just like,
17:46
Speaker 3: I love Saint Jude and I got to sing beautiful
17:48
Speaker 3: things for them the other day and it was the
17:49
Speaker 3: hardest thing I've done in a while because the families.
17:54
Speaker 3: Some of the families were like very emotional about it,
17:58
Speaker 3: but it was a really cool moment. I'm grateful to
18:00
Speaker 3: have a platform where I can write songs that mean
18:03
Speaker 3: different things to different people, and maybe it gives them
18:05
Speaker 3: a little bit of hope during a really hard time.
18:07
Speaker 3: And it really everything I can do to help them.
18:12
Speaker 3: It's like change my life going there. So highly recommend
18:15
Speaker 3: anyone doing their research and figuring out what Saint Jude
18:18
Speaker 3: is all about. It's it's amazing, it's.
18:19
Speaker 2: Unreal the more you learn what happens. Yeah, and then
18:21
Speaker 2: the families don't.
18:22
Speaker 3: Have a bill, they don't have a bill, and they
18:24
Speaker 3: make it. They also accommodate the families, like these poor
18:28
Speaker 3: sick kids have brothers and sisters, and you don't think about,
18:33
Speaker 3: you know, if you're not in a situation, you don't
18:34
Speaker 3: think about like what it Oh, this kid has to
18:37
Speaker 3: be away from their siblings. They allow the whole families
18:39
Speaker 3: to just like everyone bring it on in. You don't
18:41
Speaker 3: pay a bill, and they try to make it as
18:44
Speaker 3: best they can for a really tough situation.
18:47
Speaker 2: Listen, we're wrapping things up.
18:49
