• 1:28
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, 100%.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_01: And it's delayed as well because he doesn't hear it like as we speak.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_01: So he's always a bit behind, which it's not just in podcast world.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like a bit of a diva with these on.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: The sunnies.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know that like that gazam TMC episode.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: That was debrief.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, diva moment.
• 1:49
  unknown: Wild.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_01: I cannot wait for the TMC debrief.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: I know.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be great.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: I can't wait for the Nashville debrief.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness, it's gonna be great.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: So, guys, we are actually going back to Nashville in November, which is not, I mean it's not news to anyone, but like, yeah, we'll be back.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: And so it's actually so exciting because we're gonna have so many fun stories.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: Because I like I thought we could use this episode, and like I haven't really run this fire yet, but I thought we could use this episode as like a bit of a if you haven't like if you're new here, like let's tell some stories.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: I realized like we didn't did we really tell the Laney Wilson story, like no, like we need to give it away.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: We did a debrief of our CMA awards last year, but we were both so dead.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but then we never did.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_01: I think the problem is we do the debrief once we've flown home from Nashville, and so by then we've kind of we're on a low because we're like depressed that we're home.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: We need to do whereas we need to do it on the high.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: We'll be doing it like in our bed the next morning.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: I think that's what we should do for sure.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: We can't um because I was even thinking this year, we're gonna go to so many up.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: Cannot wait.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, I guess like, yeah, we'll use this episode to give the tea.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, also, if you're new here, last CMA awards, Grace Knight actually snuck it after party.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_01: So we weren't thank you.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: I think we should tell the story because it's very fun.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_01: But so if you haven't heard the story, last year at CMA Awards, great, there's all these after parties for the CMA Awards, and we got invited to Big Machines after party, but that was it.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: And we're like, oh my goodness, like, and so we're with Aussies, so we were with Justin from iHeart, we were with a couple of other audiences.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_01: Just Bree just Bree at the big machine party, and they were like, Okay, we're going to party, and we're like, we didn't get invited, but we didn't want to tell them that, obviously.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: And so we were like, Okay, we'll just come.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: So we get to the front, and we're they're like, Okay, um, names, and we're like, ladies love country, um, Holly and Grace, and they're like, Oh, um, and we were like, you know how they had that saying, like, act confident and no one will question you.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: We were acting confident, okay.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: This is actually like the biggest tea.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because I do think if we'd asked, we would have gotten on the list.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: We just we didn't know that, like what the go was.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: So what the go is is that the CMA awards happen.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: There's like the red carpet from like four, everyone goes inside, then they have like four hours of rewards.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: I think it wraps up around 10, and then that's when the real party starts.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: Um, that's when the real party starts.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: And so then everyone goes to all these different after parties, but we didn't even know they were existing.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: So we needed to go.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: So then we just kept, we were like, no, no, no, no, like we've got we've got the emails, like we definitely on the list here, like, you know, you you know, you know, like please check, like this is embarrassing for you.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: And then and then Justin and Brie were like, All right, we're gonna go in.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: And we're like, no, no, it's fine.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: Like, just go ahead, go ahead.

• 7:16
  SPEAKER_01: And I was like, Because we'd met them on the radio, like the interviews that we'd done the day before, because they were publisher for some of the artists, and so then we're actually really good friends and catch up now all the time in Nashville.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: We won't be telling them about this, they won't listen to it.

  SPEAKER_00: Crazy shit happens at the CMA Warns in Nashville, which is the fun part.

  SPEAKER_01: How close, like shit, this is we're hosting an after party.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_01: You heard it here first.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're just gonna say it.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: This is our announcement.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: Well, it will come out on Friday, so it's well, you have to have announced it by then.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_01: That's insane.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: We're hosting the after party for Newcastle, guys.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: This is insane.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: We really, I'm gonna tell you what happened because it was actually really funny about the post.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, definitely.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: So we had this idea to drop this after party because last year at Strumming Bird, we found the minute the festival was over, everyone was like, where do we go?
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: Remember we met those guys?
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_01: Which guys?
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_01: They um so we met these guys from they were at the ones to watch and they were Jack Wolf Ben Obsession Scott.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_01: And so we met these guys the night before in Sydney or something like that.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_01: And I remember um that bar.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know, which I'll not be named.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_01: And we met them the night before, and I remember after the festival finished, we were messaging them, and they were like, Where do we go after?
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_01: And we're like, we don't know where to go after, and they're like, Oh, it and it became too hard.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_01: And Grace and I just went and got McDonald's and went to bed.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: We did, and so this year, number one, McDonald's is a sponsor of Strumming Bird, which just got announced, which is fantastic.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: Very, very excited about that.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: So there's gonna be a McDonald's Nashville Hot Chicken Range pop-up, and there's Maccas at Strumming Bird Festival and a McDonald's swing, it looks really cool.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_01: Chef kissed.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and so then we went to bed.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: So we were like wasted opportunity to have more fun with country music.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_01: Because it finishes at 11, which is pretty early, to be honest.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like us grandmas, it's late, but for the rest of the world.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's early.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: So we thought, what better way to do this than have our own after party?
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: And so we have now decided to go with Jumping Bird and do a joint after party.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: Because tell them about the post.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: Scheduled this, like I'm I like edited this like doozy little like hype reel, and I was like, oh, and I was I think I was down in Ginder Barn at the time, and I I had scheduled it, and then we decided to pull it.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: And I think I must have deleted the notion and not the actual schedule.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: So the post went live when it wasn't supposed to, and the post was like a teaser, and it was like DM us for more info.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like it was we wanted to keep it super secret.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you're gonna be releasing that teaser anyway.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_01: So if you're see the teaser, and if you know, you know, you're one of the OJ.

  SPEAKER_00: Who else in lineup?
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_00: Probably no a rinker.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna say I'm gonna skip Tyler Childers.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I think we're gonna have to go and set up the after party anyway.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but like not only a Tyler Childers fan.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_00: I'll tell you instead of Tyler Childers.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's not my vibe, the music.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_01: If I had two dozen bro, Willie Pake is playing at the same time as Tyler Childers.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, I'd go to Willie Pake.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_01: I actually think we'll need to set up the after party.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_00: Aww, Devo.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe we need to invite Willie Pake to our after party.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, we should.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_00: I also invited someone else.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we should definitely do that.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: Cooper Allen will pop up, that'd be funny.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think we should talk about that.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, guys.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_00: CMC Rock's lineup was just dropped.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_00: And I know we're a little bit late.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_00: We'll be like two weeks after the drop, but people are still talking about it.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_01: At Tyler Braden, people were coming up and talking about it to me.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_00: So Yeah.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, let's address the elephant in the room, shall we?
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_00: Like everyone is hating on the CMC Rocks lineup.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_00: And I know that it seemed like we were so excited, which we are, because I really think that people think we were lying.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_00: If you, if you actually are a you just added yourself as a country music fan, if you think the lineup sucks.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, sorry, but I talked to Ethan actually embarrassed Tyler Braden about this because I asked him and I was like, what do you think of the lineup?
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_01: Because it's this guy who's been to CMC for so many years.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: He loves country music.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_01: And he goes, I think it's unreal.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_01: And I was like, it is.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_01: You get it?
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_01: He goes, 49 Winchester will be insane.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_01: Like so good.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: Brooks and Dunn, unreal.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_01: Eric Church, unreal.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I was looking, yeah.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna have a massive hot take.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: I actually think the lineup's better than last year.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_01: Or this year, sorry.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_01: This year, yeah.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_01: Because I was looking and like it is really good.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_01: I love some bets, like having bands, I think is really good.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_01: Like 49 Winchester Turnpike Troopadours, they will bring the energy.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: And then I'm so excited for Parker McCollum.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_01: Because he hasn't never been to Australia before.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: And he's a hardy.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, sorry, Cameron Marlowe.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I did Cameron Marlowe for my new music Fridays yesterday, and I got so many DMs of people being like, oh my god, he can do no wrong.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that he's about to blow up.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_00: So I think that one is gonna be really timely, and I really think everyone's gonna love him.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_00: Also, no one's talking about Randall King.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry, but I'm a huge Randall King fan.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_00: And he is so good.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: Like, again, if you love uh Jake Worthington, you're gonna love Randall King.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_00: I even think, like, yeah.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's gonna be so good.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_00: Um, who else we got?
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_00: Blake Wyden.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry, but like, why are the people why are the ladies hating on Blake Wyden?
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_00: They're not, they love him.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_00: They just forget how good he is.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_01: But then we're gonna we're gonna open your eyes to what what else could be on the lineup.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_01: I also want to address, I feel like the problem is people go, yeah, but they had Hardy, Ernest, Morgan Mollin, whatever it was, that one year.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, yes, but back then that wasn't massive.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_01: Like to have Hardy, people were like, yeah, whatever.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_01: It's like to have Morgan Wallin, it wasn't as big as it is now.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_01: And I think people forget that and they look back and they're like, yeah, but they had Luke Combs.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but that was when he was that was years ago when he was a small artist.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_01: You will be saying that about people like Blake White and be like, yeah, remember when CMC had Blake Whiteon.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_01: You'll be saying that about 100%, like all these artists, yeah.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_00: Like Zack John King has the potential to be the next Morgan Wallen.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_00: 100%.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_00: So, like, don't don't come for us, but like you're gonna love Zack John King.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_00: You're gonna, you're gonna love it.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_00: Lainey Gardner, you're also gonna love Lainey Gardner.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_00: She's a baddie, okay?
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_00: We interviewed her, she's so funny.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, again, with the outing yourself as a country music fan, as not a country music fan, because let me tell you, Tyler Nance is so good.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_00: So good.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: So good.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: Who who could we describe him as?
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_00: Like, he's definitely um I would say he's red.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_00: Is he kind of Keith, kinda?
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_00: Like a little bit, like definitely more on the traditional side, but yeah, he's almost like a more country version of like Vincent Mason.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like he has like similar kind of like it's almost a little bit poppy, kinda.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_01: No?
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know who he's like, but he's so good.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_01: His voice is unreal.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_01: He has a song with Jackson Dean.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_01: Um, which is like Jackson Dean vibes.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I would say he's like country uh version of Jackson Dean.

  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_01: Like Jackson Dean's more like I don't know how to explain it.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, how do you describe it?
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_00: We're not people um Ty S Delk.

• 25:15
  SPEAKER_01: You would love him.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_01: So I put him also, we have a playlist that I made for CMC on Spotify and Apple Music.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_01: And I have been listening to the playlist because I obviously put our favourite songs of the artists we like.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_01: Like basically every Blake White song is on that playlist.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_01: You can really tell who our favourites are, as well as Brooks and Dunn as well.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_01: I have two things to say.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_01: So, one, I've been listening to that playlist, and Kobe Acuff came up sensational.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_01: Colby, sorry.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_01: Colby Acuff came up.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_01: Really cool, traditional country, same as Jade Eagles Eagles.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_01: Jade Eagleson.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's really cool, but also the official petition, Brooks and Dunn.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_01: You need to play Believe.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_01: You need to.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_01: If you don't play Believe, I will cry.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_01: Tim Daly from Apple will also cry.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_01: There's something about that song.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_01: I need to hear it in front of how many people at CMC?
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_01: 35,000.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_01: I need to hear it in front of 35,000 people at CMC.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_01: And Dear Tommy also said that Believe is like her favourite song.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_01: And so It needs to be starting here, and I will not let it go until I hear that played at CMC.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_01: I think we need to somehow.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_01: Don't we have Brooks and Dunn's PR contact?
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_01: We do.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_01: Publicist.
• 26:36

  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, guys, that was our CMC debrief.
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_00: I really think that you need to go listen to our playlist and then come back to us with your comments because before you start continually hating on the CMC lineup, because we think it's elite, because we actually know all the artists.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but also I want to say, can you please comment on this episode any songs that we've missed on the playlist that you love from any of the artists that are on the playlist?
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_01: Because we also wanna like we don't know all the artists that are on the lineup, and we want to learn more songs because that is so much better when you can sing along to every song.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_01: So let us know your favourite songs that aren't maybe on the playlist and we'll add them.
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_01: Wow.
