• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Morgan County Fairgrounds is where you're performing. I actually grew
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: up in Morgan County and a lot of small towns there.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Do you have like a small town value that you
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: learned growing up that still influences you today?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You know, I think it's just treating everybody like people.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: You know, it's no matter you know, treat them CEO
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the same way you treat the janitor. You know, it's
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: it's or all human beings and disrespect, I think is
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: a big thing in the small towns. You know, you
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: got to respect for from small towns because it's going
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to see them at the grocery store and we kind
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of wherever you go.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: So absolutely well known.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: That you are from Carolina. The Carolina Hurricanes in the
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Stanley Cup Finals, your song being used for some of
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: the promotions. Do you get to go to any of
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: these games or anything like that?
• 2:15

  Speaker 1: now with the energy for the Hurricanes.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Man, when your team is in it, it is just

• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a hug at the game. I've never talked to but
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it was just like, you know, we sat across the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: aisle for a while from each other for a while.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: So we made it. So here we go.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: We got fifteen years since your Opry debut. We like
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: to ask all over opry members the same question. Was
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: there like a secret initiation process? We don't know when
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: it comes to the opera. I know what we see
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: on stage, but what happens backstage.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Well, there could be or there could not be. You know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: It's it's one of those things.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So uh yeah, right, it seems.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: To be everyone's answer when we asked them.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: No one's really giving us it's a little suspicious.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Oh man, it's uh yeah.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: The Opry is a it's a special special place, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the membership and the backstage it's it's one of the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: more unique things the country music, I think than any
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: other genre doesn't have. And it's uh yeah, it's really
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: really proud to be a part of that. But yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the initiation is who knows?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I like that.
