• 1:22
  Speaker 2: you guys sing is about you know, people love people,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: you love another girls. I actually have a question about
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: one of your songs. Oh, one of your songs, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we could I should have probably waited to get more
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: into it, but we're doing basically Chad to Wilson's Down
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: and those songs break up with Him? Yeah, yeah, you say,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I know you're not in love with him, break up
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: with him? Is that him a real person? And does
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: that guy know it was about him?
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Man, that song is not a real, real story.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: It was just something we were doing to like make
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: us ourselves laugh. We wrote that like in the middle
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: of an night in a van, really driving, when we
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: were traveling around the country in a van and everybody
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: was asleep. It was probably like two in the morning,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: and we had been kind of jamming on this thing
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: at soundcheck earlier in the day and I was listening
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: to it on my phone and uh, it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Was like two in the morning.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: I had this idea for like a one sided phone
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: conversation song, and Trevor was awake in the back bench
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: of the bus of the van at that point and
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: it was like two am.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: So I went back there and I was like, hey,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I got this idea, and so to keep from waking.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Everybody up, I just started whispering it into my phone.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: So that kind of like, yeah, that kind of like
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: set the tone for this creepy, like hey, what's up thing,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: And then we were we were just laughing our asses
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: off in the back of the.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Van and that's all that was. And then, man, we've
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: had so many people that would come up.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: To us and say, like that song made me break
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: up with my boyfriend, and couples. Mostly we get couples
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: that come to us that say, like, we're together because
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: of that song because I played it for her she
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: broke up with the dude and that it's with me.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: So we're we like to focus on the matchmaking element
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: of it rather than the home wrecking element.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you, when you when you started doing music,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: or was this like what you wanted to do? Was
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: it like like I want to be a country singer,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: like that was your the genre you want to go
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: to growing up or did you kind of follow into
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: it in a certain way.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: No, I kind of fell into it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I was, you know, in high school and stuff I
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: was in like rock bands and grunge bands, like with
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: the band I was in, wanted to be Pearl Jam
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: and you know, just like stuff like that. And then
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: moved to Nashville really to be a songwriter. I didn't
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: really want to be an artist. Wasn't really coming down
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: here to like try and be.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Famous or everything. It was just trying to come down
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: here and write. It's the loudest bird.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I love it. He's perfect there.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: We just make it.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Work, bro.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: But came down here to be a songwriter really, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: then in the.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Band's so you're in that shill right now.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we could have just went on the bus.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Boys on the bus.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: We'll see yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have to do that. We're gonna have to
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: get on the bus somehow in the future.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just right now, fully stocked and parked.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Oh so, so like all of yours, like you're part
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of like a squad. You get you're part of a band.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: Like we've interviewed individual artists and stuff like that. So
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: when you say, like you're you moved here to be
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: a songwriter, are you are you mostly responsible for for
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: writing all the music for Old Dominion or is it
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: kind of like a collaborable.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Time collaboration, Because that's what Trevor, who's in the band,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: he moved here for the same reason to be a songwriter.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: And Brad, who I knew from a lot of us
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: knew from Virginia when we were a lot of us
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: grew up in Virginia and went.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: To college and stuff in Virginia went to college together,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: some of the guys did, and they knew Brad.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: And anyway, Brad moved here to be a songwriter.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: So individually, we all had been working on trying to
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: be songwriters and we were writing together, were writing all
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: this music together, but playing you know, in bars and
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: stuff at night. And then we started to have success
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: as songwriters for other people.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: So we started, you know, getting hits for other people.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: But we were all in a band together, yeah, just
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: and people started going like, what is this band full
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: of dudes that are writing songs for other people? Let's
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: go check them out. And then that sort of fueled
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: our success.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: All nice. You guys are all kind of writers.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so we write all together.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Sometimes we go in the studio, Like the last album,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: the way we started recording that was we just went
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: into the studio with no songs and just try to
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: write and record a song in the same day, and
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: that became a hit for us. So we all get
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: together and write a lot together.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: Are you guys doing like zoom stuff right now? Like
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: just zoom meetings and you guys got on ya.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I can't do it, like I've tried. Some of the
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: guys are like, it's hard for me to like get
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: into it. I'm sure I will at some point. But
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: some of the guys are writing numbers and a lot
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: of people here in Nashville are doing that.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got your buddy and named Ernest who does
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of that stuff. He's got like they do
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: like writers rounds all the time. And I'm not I
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: have zero musical talent at all. I might even appreciate it,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: but I've got awful I've never even picked up a guitar,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: but like, just listen to what people have to go
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: through in Nashville is outrageous. I mean, getting chance to
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: talk to. I mean a bunch of people, the Kings
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: of Leon, guys, Thomas Rhett, those those types of dudes.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Seeing what they had to go through is just it's
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: fucking crazy, dude.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: But yeah, you guys slug it out.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, you're out there playing for pennies at hockey
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: talk like, Hey, I hope to God someone in this
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: crowds wanting to give me a little gig.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, ultimately, man, you just have to do it
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: because you love doing it, and whether it's gravy, if
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: it works, but ultimately you just have to do it
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: because you love.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Where'd you grow up at?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Uh? In Virginia.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: It's this little small town called Buckcannan spelled Buchanan pronounced Bucanan.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: It's about nine hundred people.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: And what do you what did you decide to move
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: to Nashville just after high school?
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: No?
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: I went to college. I actually went to art school
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: uh at DCU in Richmond, Virginia.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got you.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: No, Yeah, we can hear you. What's upbody? The boys?
• 7:42

• 7:47
  Speaker 3: But after college out decided?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Are you a Redskins fan?
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Dude, it is so hard to be a Redskins fan.
• 7:53

  Speaker 2: Question.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I grew up.
• 7:55

  Speaker 3: It make it tough, dude, who's.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Your team now?
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Well, you know this is a great year for the Titans.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: But you know it's funny like when we tour with
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Kenny Chesney a bunch and you end up playing all
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: these football stadiums and you end up meeting all these
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: people and it's kind of hard to have a team,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: you know, like because you you start like identifying with
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: all of them and like you're like I know somebody
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: from that team where I know this guy, and like you.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Start like just this feels bad.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I feel bad like rooting against people except for the Cowboys.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Always rod against the Cowboys.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no question.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: Hey, I actually had a question earlier when we were
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: talking about you know, doing doing what you can to
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: be heard or like to see if you just get
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: a shot and stuff like that, what's the best story
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: or what's the farthest you've like reached to like be heard,
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: were like get in front of somebody, like what's like
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: the most like you know, I went to that extent
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: so I could be.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Sort of it's just sort of an epic story, but
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: I'll try to keep it short. But there's a there's
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: a songwriter's festival in Key West that they have every
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: year and the whole town of Nashville basically goes down
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: the Key West and it's this big festival.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: And I have kids, two daughters.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: And I was a stay at home dad at this
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: point in time, so I was like trying to like
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: raise my girls and then I would ride at night
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: and everything, and a big part of any business obviously
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: is networking and getting out there, and I just couldn't
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: do I couldn't like get myself in front of the
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: right people. I was frustrated. I was broke as shit,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: you know, And and I knew that if I could
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: get down to Key West for this festival, that I
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: could spend four days down there like getting in everybody's face, right.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: So I said, if I could find a plane ticket,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: I'm going down there. So I had a buddy who
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: has a brother who is a pot for American Airlines,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: and he gave me a ticket.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: So I had a free ticket down there. So I
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: went down there.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I packed a small bag because I had no place
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: to stay. I was like, I don't care, I'll sleep
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: on the beach. I'm going down there, so no place
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: to stay. I go I land and I'm walking literally
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: walking down the street pulling my bag, and this buddy
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: of mine is like.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Hey, I didn't know you were coming. Where are you staying.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: I was like, I don't know, and he's like, I
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: got an extra bed. You can crash in my room.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: So I was like great. So I had a free room,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: free flight, free room. I bought a box of granola
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: bars to eat. Yeah, people like were buying my beers
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: and stuff. I didn't pay for a single beer or whatever.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: And you you'd have to wait like till about three
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: in the morning at this open mic thing to get
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: your chance to go on stage and play a couple
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: of songs. So I was down there and the house
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: band at the time was Brothers Osbourne. They weren't Brothers
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Osbourne at that point, but they were a band called
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: King Billy at that point.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Billy. Yeah.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: So so I waited until about three in the morning
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: and got up on stage and told them, you know
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: the chords of the song, and we played the song
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: and that performance basically got me a publishing deal off
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: of playing that one song, and.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: So then on top of that, Nashville was flooding. It
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: was like ten years ago, So there was a big
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: flood in Nashville and all the flights back to Nashville
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: were canceled. So I go meet some people for breakfast.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Nobody was like, hey, come meet me for breakfast. So
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: we're sitting at the table and I'm telling everybody this
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: whole story about how I've come to QS and spent
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: four days and no plan and no money and nothing.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: You know, I had this big epic night. And there's
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: this dude sitting at the end of the table that
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: that I didn't know. And at the end of the story,
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: he was like, well, hey man, I've got a private
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: jet and there's an empty.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Seat and we're heading back to Nashville in the morning.

  Speaker 2: type of deal.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: It was, no, it didn't like happen quite like that.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: It was just because like I started getting all these
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: phone golls, like what did you do last night? Because
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: everybody's talking about your song and everybody's talking about what
• 12:48

• 12:52
  Speaker 4: and you know, I started getting phone calls and finally
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: got the deal, and.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Then and then and then, and then you're writing songs.

• 18:00
  Speaker 2: What happens after that you and the boys get together?
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Is your band are together at this point?
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: No, we're not together at that point, but we we
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: are like playing music so together, but we're not.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: We haven't formed like a band yet.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: So then we start kind of writing together a little more,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: and then then we do start like it was pretty
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: shortly after that that we started. We had our first
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: actually it was my first.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I signed that deal.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: And then once you get a batch of songs, your
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: publisher wants to make demos, right so that you can
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: pitch them out to other people. And the guy that
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I signed with had heard us play some a couple
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: of times and was like, hey, why don't we just
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: use your band, the guys you're playing with, to make
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: the demo and see So that was the first time
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: we were actually in a recording studio and we made
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: this thing, and we we kind of were looking at
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: each other going like, man, this sounds like a band.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: We sound like a real band. Here, we should see
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: where this goes.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: So that was like right after that that we really
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: started to form a band.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can assume that, Like, like I mean, if
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: you went out on your own and you have to
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: go get a band, I feel like the courting process
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: to go get like a guitar, but it's got to
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: be kind of awkward, like, well, how does that even?
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine go to some guy be like, hey, so, like,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: how's a free turkey sandwich and a bus routs and
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: tequila sound for you to play with me while I
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: make all this money right exactly.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know how those guys do it. Man. You know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't do it, but a lot of people do.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: Man, because I guess again it comes back to wanting,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: you know, really loving it, I guess.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: So was everybody pretty on board right away?
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because honestly, man, nobody really thought we were gonna
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: you know, it just sort of happened.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Nobody was really We weren't even really like making this
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: like hard run for it.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: We were just kind of having fun, you know, like
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: we were playing in bars.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: We would drive like I had a mini van.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: We would drive to like Alabama and whatever and play
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: and you know, make forty bucks a piece, Like you know,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: we were like, oh yeah, forty bucks, you know, and
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: and uh, we were just having a good time and.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: So like it just sort of like overtime, slowly.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: More and more people started coming and then like we
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: started to get like a song on XM radio, and
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: it was like getting bigger and bigger, and so it
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: truly was like a natural thing that happened. I mean
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: every record label, we took meetings with, every record label
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: in Nashville, they all turned us down, but we just
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: kept on doing it till finally.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so finally, I.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: Mean we literally had a song on the radio and
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Kenny Chesney invited us to go on a stadium tour
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: before we ever got a record deal. So all of that.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Then they finally were like, Okay, I guess we need
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: to sign these guys.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Breakthrough.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: That was part of it.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was kind of the kicker that made them go,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: I guess we need to when you sign these guys
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: that are already on a stadium tour, there they're doing
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: all right.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, just put the cart before the horse in that regard.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Huh. Yeah, we definitely kind of kind of backed into
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: it a little bit.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, gets killer. Dude. Hey, there's more than one way
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: to skin a cat or whatever the phrases. I don't know, Yeah,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking so anyway, it's Kenny. Is Kenny a football fan?
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: What's the who's his team? Man?
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: You know he's buddies with He's buddies with the Crafts.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: So and uh, the Patriots are that whole area.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: LETU sellout? Who's not buddies with the Crafts? You know
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: You feel like it's so more more like people are like, oh,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the buddies with the great.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: To us too.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Man played a couple of Super Bowl parties for him,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: So everybuddy doesn't.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you. I'll tell you what will be buddies
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: with him? If they give him a call, I'll tell
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: you that much. We'll sell out in a second for them.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Will he needs me to go to massage parlor?
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I'll go. Dude, I gave you a loaded question because
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: the thing is is at the facility. Our head trainer,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: his name's Todd Torricelli. Shout out Todd, dude. He's an
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: absolute stud. He's been boys with Kenny Chasney for a while.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: So Kenny's in and out of the place all the time,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: always getting rehab. He's got shoulder stuff, all that, all
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: those kinds of things, And so I thought, in my head, man,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: this guy's got to be a Titans fan. And and
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I don't even think Titans even crossed your mind. You're like, oh, well,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: he's friends with the Craft family.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Then it's the same thing as I was saying earlier though,
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: like he's probably got relationships with all of them because
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: you know, he like fills those stadiums up year after
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: year and he knows all that.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's insane, and.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: He's got such a killer vibe like his uh dude,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: he he him my Uncle Cracker, Like even Toby Ke Yeah, definitely,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Toby keeps had like kind of like crushed, like that
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: beach country vibe. If I need a drink, you know,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: every swim in Dick south of the Mason Dixon whenever
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: they get to the beach, their first thing is to
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: crack open their favorite beer, get their Instagram pick with
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: some Toba keys and k Cracker in the background.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: But you're right, though, Like.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: I didn't even know the Uncle Cracker song was about
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: like cheating until like I just got until I was
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: like late twenties and I actually like said the lyrics
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: out loud. I was like, oh, I literally just sang
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: the song because I loved.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: It, right, because you're a basic white guy, And that's exactly.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Exactly doing basic white dude brainwashed by.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: The country out there killing it.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: That's that's epic, dude. So you guys played Kenny, these
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: these these companies that were just dragging their feet the
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: whole time. We're like, all right, I guess we'll sign
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: these slappies now. Yeah, and he has a crushing it.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: He has a Heartbreakers now killing the.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Game doing good.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Cannot complain. It's pretty incredible, man.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: He is at have blown up. What's it like? What
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: is is there a song that you guys made that
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: like this means a lot to us? Like this is
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: the one like that maybe you wrote that was a
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: big deal to you or is it all kind of
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: like a like I don't, just a whole bunch of
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: thoughts built into one from each one of you guys,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: It's kind of it's kind of a hodgepodge and it changes.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: But you know, one Man Band was the song that's
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: sort of like.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: That took us to a different level.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Like we never can like predict why that is, but
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: for whatever reason, from the moment we played that song,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: the crowd went insane and.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: We were like it was a noticeable difference.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: So then we started talking about, well, maybe we should,
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: you know, make this song a single, and before like
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: we really made it the official single, it was kind
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: of out in the world and people were singing it louder.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Than they sing some of the songs that are our
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: actual hits.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: So yeah, for.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Whatever reason, man, that song really stepped up the game
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: for us and has been incredible for us.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: So that one's.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Pretty the reason I like, first off, one Man Band
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: is my favorite song by you guys. It's so easy
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: to sit there and relate with it, right, Like, everybody
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: at one point in their lives been sol everybody in
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: at one point has been in a situation where you're like, man,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: I wish I had someone to be with me, and
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: you know, using you guys artistic vision to talk like
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: kind of bring that back and like, hey, I'm on
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the stage by myself and I wish I had someone
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: to single harmony with me. Bang Bang trash hotel rooms,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: all that, Like, it's a very cool way that people
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: are like, oh, I can get on board with this,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, I mean it's it's no secret while
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: you guys have had so much success you have, you're
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: extremely talented. Your lyrics are pretty unbelievable, Like years are
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: crushing them. Like I said before, I'm a fan.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Thank you man. I appreciate that.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: No words, Yo, has there ever been?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Has there ever been? Like a song?
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: I always like when I ask musicians this, so you
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: feel like you're writing for a reason that's more mainstream,
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: because you're like people are just vibing with this kind
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: of vibe more than what you actually wanted to want
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: to write about.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean sometimes you know, like when Women our
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: first album, we just were like, let's write some bops,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: you know, let's sit down and try to write some straight,
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: straight up hits.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Let's not you know, worry about anything else.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Let's just try to let's hand them an album full
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: of songs that could be a hit on the radio
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: right now. So and then you know, we that kind
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: of It's a good thing that we did that because
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: it gave us a pretty strong foothold with radio and everything.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: And now you know, we've got a little bit more
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: freedom to sort of just you know, be a little
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: bit more out there. And because we're established, I mean, anything,
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: anything we write, it's typically a commercial sounding type of thing,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: even when we think it's like way out there. It's
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: so ingrained in us to like try to write a
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: hit that it ends up kind of having something in it.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: That's catch here, hooky or whatever.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: And we love you know, that's the kind of music
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: we love too, so you know, we we love all
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: that hookey stuff.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: So it's just kind of naturally comes Built Bar.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: God, I love this shit. Did you know?
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Our bodies need protein to help avoid age related muscle
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: loss and maintain.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: A healthy state.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: Also, after water, protein is the most plentiful substance in
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: the body. This means the majority of our organs, muscles,
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: and tissues are mostly made of protein. That's why I
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: eat this shit. That's why I eat Built Bar. Bill
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: Bar is the fastest growing protein bar in the world.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: They innovated the perfect protein bar that tastes amazing. We
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: all try to eat, eat healthy and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

  Speaker 5: We all try to find we all try to find
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: ways to get more protein in our diet, Jesus Christ
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: and fumbling over my words. And this is why I
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: eat Built bars at home, at work throughout the day
• 27:41

• 27:45
  Speaker 5: all supplement with that built Bar. It's a great taste
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: in protein bar that has historically been an oxymoron. Most
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: protein bars are chalky, dry, no flavorites, all bullshit out there.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: You guys know what I'm talking about.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: Bill Bar changed all that with a protein bar that
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: legitimately tastes like a candy bar, so every day feels
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: like a goddamn cheap meal. They have chocolate, They have
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: a chocolate and creamy texture, a variety of flavor options.

• 28:12
  Speaker 5: grams of protein, one hundred ten calories, four grams of sugar,
• 28:15

  Speaker 1: I love that. Tell you.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: Uh, hey, so I was on were you on the
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: I was on your Instagram earlier old dominions Instagram. You
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: guys just came out with a documentary. Yeah, can you
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: can you talk.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: About that a little bit?
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: I actually, right before we got on here, it's like
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: ten minutes long. I sat and watched it, and that thing,
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: that thing's awesome, man, that thing's inspiring.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I don't want to like add or use my own words.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: I'd like you to explain what your documentary is about,
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: why you wanted to do it.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I think that.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man, it's you know, it's started with the with
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: the music video idea, which was for for our single
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: right now it's called some People Do, which is you know,
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: it's a little bit of a departure for us as
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: far as, like, you know, we talk about like hooky
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: hit song type of things. This one's like a ballad
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: and a kind of a tear jerker and you know
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: it's a heavy song. And uh, we met this dude,
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: Jason Snydeman, who is like a hair and makeup guy.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: We met him like on one of our first like
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: official photo shoots, and he was the dude that was
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: like helping us get dressed and fixing our hair and everything,
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: and we just clicked with him.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: He's just a super cool guy.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: And so for years we used him whenever we could,
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: and as we got to know him, he started telling
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: us his story a little bit, and he's an addict
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: and you know, recovery and you know how he used
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: you know, he went into this program and it taught
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: him how to be of service for people. And he's
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: extremely talented hairstylist. So he goes out and helps homeless
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: people and gives them like haircuts, cleans them up and
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: talks to him about sobriety and try he can take
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: them to you know, he takes them on trips to
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: rehab and you know, he like really works with these
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: people and makes him feel special. And so we're thinking
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: about an idea for the video. He just popped into
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: my head and thought like, Wow, this would be a
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: cool feature for the video. But it's hard to like
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: tell all of that in a three minute music video,
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: so we did a little bit longer version where he
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: allowed him to kind of tell his story and what
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: he's doing, you know, in his community to help the
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: homeless population and just an amazing, inspiring dude. Man, he's
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: he's an awesome guy and just a great vibe to
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: be around and just makes you want to be better.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: So we like went down.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: There and and helped them out one day and just
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: followed him around and we literally just went down on
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Venice Beach and LA and set up some tables and
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: brought a bunch of pizzas and had boxes of t
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: shirts and he had a whole team of hairstylists and
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: barbers and and we just were there and people would
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: walk up and go what are y'all doing? And he'd
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: be like, you want a haircut? And they'd be like yeah,
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: And then like I mean, people started just coming and
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: he was they were just hair was flying everywhere. Man,
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: They're just gotting all these people hair and we were
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: just talking to them and give them. It was it
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: was an awesome day, man, it was really it was
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: really changed your perspective on you know, the homeless population
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: in general.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, me personally, Like I fall in line with that, Uh,
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: with that falling in the box of you think they're
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: they're wanting a dollar for booze or they're wanting to
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: you know, do bad like he.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Mentioned it in the documentary too.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: In my perspective obviously shifts like when you watch something
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: like that and honestly, like throwing the boy a compliment,
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: I learned more about like the homeless population and stuff
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: to like Taylor because Taylor and his wife Taylor, and
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: they're very big and in that community and providing things
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: for them. And anytime anytime we pull up to something
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: and I know, I'm just said, I know, I'm giving
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: you oops right now. But anytime we pull up anywhere
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: and somebody comes knocking, like Taylor's always giving cash no
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: matter what, like you know, uh, he's he's got this
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: quote I'll let Taylor said, I don't want to take
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: all of his stuff, but like that, those kind of
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: things is when I started to shift my perspective and
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: seeing Taylor and then I saw that I'm like, yo,
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: this is Uh, it's just really cool because you you
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: truly just don't know where somebody comes from, what their
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: story is. Like, yes, some might be of certain come
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: from a certain cloth, but you have no idea unless
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: you try to intentionally get to know somebody or lend
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: a hand help them out.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: But that's honestly, like, kudos to both of you.
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: Both of you are the biggest reason my perspective has
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: changed kind of in that world because I am guilty
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: of being.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: That characters that would drive up everybody, yeah do nothing.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, for sure.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: I think I think everybody to some extent it has
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: been down that path before. Because as like human beings,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: like we're like Willims says this all the time, like
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: we survive in advance. We're just trying to get to
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: the next stage or to help ourselves up. And when
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: you see someone panhandling or doing whatever on the corner,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, of course, like that person could go
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: buy alcohol. But the reality is, like our job as
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: human beings, it's not to say you can and cannot
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: do what I give you. It's here's my opportunity. I'm
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: gonna do my part just to help this individual, regardless
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: of what they do with it is up to them.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: But like you've crossed that bridge and to okay, I
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: put a handout to help this person up, and it's like,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: well will the phrase well is talking about is giving
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: somebody a hand up, not a handout. And there's this
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: guy who works as a charity called Home Street Home.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: And this guy was he was homeless Home Street Home. Yeah,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: he was homeless for I think six years and I
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: might booker the entire story. But this guy now has
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: a home, has a whole charity. He's raised you know,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: I think you know, over a few hundred thousand dollars dollars.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: And when he goes is he literally takes people in
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: that are homeless and gives them close, gives them food,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: gives them shelter. He's working on building homes to these
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: people that go in in the city of Nashville and
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: kind of rehabilitate themselves. Because when you asked anybody on
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: the street, like what what percentage of you are homeless
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: an addiction, you would think it's in the thirties, forties
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: and fifty percent. Like those people, it's only seven percent.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Only is there a percent of people that are affected
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: or because of addiction, which which again is not like
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: something you should ever. You know, it's not our jobs
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: as human beings to judge those people. What never is
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: And like we're we're all super lucky, like you said, like,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: well you do. You gotta love it and like you
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: you got to go and play music and you got
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: to like do the shit, like you got to sit
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: at the stand with one mic and there's three drunk
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: guys yelling at you on stage and you're just hoping
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: to get a five dollars tip. Like we got to
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: go through this shit to play in high school ball,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: you know, you try to go through college and make
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: it and you're working. You know, it's it's pretty it's
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: such a crazy difference, but there is that work up
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: and you make it because you're good, but you also
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: make it because you're lucky as shit, and a lot
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: of people don't have that luck. Like and I think,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: you know, you give somebody a dollar, Like what's it
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: to you if you have a dollar to get, like,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: you know, it's not gonna affect you. It's not gonna
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: take me if I give a dollar out.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: And the thing is, man, maybe maybe they do go
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: by you know, alcohol or drugs with it, but it's
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: the moment that you speak to them for for us, like,
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: that's what we really like that we really like noticed
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: was how much they appreciated if you just took a
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: second to ask him a question or ask them out there,
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: you know, their their hair, or ask them what their
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: name was, or you know, just just that interaction, you know,
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: just to have them feel like a person and not
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: just someone to rush by. You know, go do whatever
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: you will with the money. But you know, if you
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: give them that interaction, it's they appreciate it so much.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: And it just kind of like you were saying, like
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: one guy was like, man, he was kind of telling
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: us his story, and he was like, you know, not
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: everybody's out here because you know, they're addicted to something.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: Like you know, it was like for me it came.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: He's like, my wife had heart trouble and it was
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: either for her heart surgery or keep a roof over
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: our head. And he's like, we had to do this
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: surgery out she died without it. So we did this
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: surgery and we couldn't afford to pay for our house
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: and he ends up losing his house. I mean, it's
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: just like you said, like some people don't have that luck. Man,
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: It's like, so it goes a long way when you
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: can just do whatever you can, it doesn't have to
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: be a lot.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, did you guys make that the quarantine?
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: All this stuff going up with no if this dude,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: anybody who's listening to this podcast, that we are the
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: wi fi out here, whoever it is, is getting absolutely
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: trash right now. So thank you for sticking along with us.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: I think I think one thing this Quarantine's gonna teach us,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: I think is like it's it ain't about just me
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: or just you. It's about like, it's about all of us.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: And because we've had to shut down the country in
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of ways, and the economy is absolutely getting
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: blasted right now, there's gonna be a lot more homeless
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: people out There's a lot more people that are unemployed
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: because of this whole thing. And maybe you've been a
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: person that's like, you know, why doesn't this bum get
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: a job? And you might be one of those people
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: that are now like out there doing it and it's
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: it's not about it's it should never be about I'm
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: doing better than X, Y and Z, Like you need
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: to do the best that you possibly can. Everything else
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: is is whip cream and gravy at that I mean,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: not in that combination. But you know what I'm saying, Like,

  Speaker 2: like a like a soul standpoint, from a mental standpoint.

• 41:40
  Speaker 5: one on the bus to do it.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: What's that picking with the boys?
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: No, he do it Picking with the boys, Bob, what's up?
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I know, I know what I mean, dude. I saw him.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: I saw his Instagram. He was a strumming the acoustic.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: So basically what we've done is bust with the boys.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: We have a segment called Picking with the Boys.
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: And so, like Ernest and a few artists, they basically
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: send us a riff like, hey, shout out with the boys.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Like thanks for having on Picking with the boys.
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: And since everybody's quarantined right now, they just like you
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: see artists doing all the time, they just kind of
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: play and strum on the guitar. And so we created
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: a segment called Picking with the Boys. And I'm thinking,
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: are you thinking what I'm thinking? Met Like, I'm thinking
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: the boy is like he shout out picking with the boys, baby,
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: and you drop whatever beat you want to drop. It
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: could be an original, it could be something new that
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: you made up. But boom, we jam it, we put
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: on Instagram.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's the favor.
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, I do that for you, and ultimately
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: we want people to come on the bus to do it.
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: So like we wanted to gain traction to where people
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: are like, hey, can we come on the bus to
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: do because it's like a little studio set up we
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: have on this rusted bus.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: You probably saw it, and so I was saying, hey,

• 42:48
  Speaker 1: and hits it on the bus and.
• 42:50
