• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of on their wits end here and there. Sure. Sure. And, um,

• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Assorted medical devices. Yeah. Yeah. That was very assorted medical. And, um,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: This dude, I go in there, and it took him forever, bro,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to just find out there's a room. And I was like,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: is there anything I can do to expedite this? And
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: he's like, I'm sorry, sir. And then he goes, you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I used to be in a wheelchair. And I was like,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: he used to be. Well, that's the thing.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: So he's not currently in it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: No, and it wasn't like I was just out of
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: a wheelchair, like work with me here. It was just
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: like throwing something from the past, I think. Once.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I had a broken arm at one time. It's not
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: currently broken.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: But it was. Yeah, excuse me.

  Speaker 3: Did he give you any kind of– so he's making
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: an excuse for just you.

  Speaker 1: Trying to hurry him up. There's no reason to hurry
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: things here.

  Speaker 3: He's like, hey, man, give me a fucking break.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I used to be.

  Speaker 1: I used to be in a wheelchair. I was like,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I used to be in the fifth grade. Yeah.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: It doesn't really matter that you used to be.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and keep the chair on. If you still are
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in a wheelchair, if I notice somebody in a wheelchair,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be like, I'm going to work with
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you here. I'll even take a ride with you or whatever.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But if there's somebody who's like, yeah, I used to be.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: But anyway, nice to see you, man. We fired right into.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: The dog medicine hands guy fast, dude.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Do yeah that's some of that though stay in different
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: places i mean it's it's it gets it gets easier
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to it's easier to rough it when you're younger dude.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: For sure well once you haven't not roughed it right
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: like when that's when roughing it is the only experience
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: which was that's what it was forever dude i mean
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: in the van you know the 15 passenger van it's like.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, you had that long boy, huh? Yeah, man.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: But when we had back rows out and it's all
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the gear.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: So it's less than 15 seats.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: But there's like six guys in there, all these amps, guitars.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: It was a mess, dude. It was truly a mess.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I feel bad for some people now, though, like I
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: think of. Let's say you're a new artist. And let's
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: say you have a song that blows up on the
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: internet or whatever. And then you're just thrust into like.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: this really like official version of yourself, even if you're
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: maybe not like ready for that.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see what you're saying. Even if you just
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: have one or two songs, like you can have something
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: blow up so hard online.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: And that you have to. get a label and all
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: this stuff and you it's not that that's sick dude
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: i'm glad that people have the capability to like to
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: achieve that for themselves now because that was something that
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: wasn't really achievable up until like maybe seven or eight
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: years ago i think yeah you miss so much of
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: like all those good memories from like the road and
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: like when it sucked and like playing bars and nobody's there.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: And all my like favorite stories, man, from like my
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: music career, a lot of them are from that time.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Like from the like unofficial days, you know what I mean?
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Like there's no, like the, like an unofficial biography, dude,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean? It's like, Those are the days,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: but I feel like people are missing that a little bit.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: If you just go right on the tour bus, dude,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: there's no strife.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: That's all you know. That's a good point. It's kind
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of like catch one hit or one melody that really
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: catches fire on social media, and then you can be
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: opening up for someone.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: For sure. And then you go, that's your first experience
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: being on the road is I'm in a bus and
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I play in arenas.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Wow. That would be super sick. Right, it's amazing, but
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: still it could set you up for some reality. What happens.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: When you start way up here, and not that that's
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: all the way at the top, but if you kick
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: past people that have been doing it for 10 years,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden you're, because in country
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of these guitar.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Pulls and stuff where you like, let's.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Say there's three or four of us up here, we're
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: all new artists, we're all playing for this radio station thing, whatever.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: It's like, let's say one of those guys makes it
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: to the thing, So let me just paint an example
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: of what could happen. You're a new guy or gal,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: and you have a song that blows up. And that's sick, dude.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I'm pumped for anybody that that happens to. But all
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, you're at the same level of, let's say,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: in the vacuum of this story, the new artist that
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: you're up there with is Chris Stapleton.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: And then you're sitting up there. You maybe have never
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: met anybody you're playing with. And they're like, all right, man,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: this Chris guy is going to go first, and then
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: you'll play a song after him, dude. And he fires
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: into just the most singing-ass, guitar-playing-ass thing you've ever heard.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: That guy's played a thousand shows, dude. And you're up
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: there going, I got to play after this guy. And
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I have to do it five more times in front
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: of all these people. And he's going to just blow
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: the doors off. It's like you've entered your Honda Civic
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: that won a race in your neighborhood.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Against the guy driving a NASCAR.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: It's so hard to compete against that. Yeah, dude. Oh,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: no doubt. And your song has a dance that goes
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: with it. And it's acoustic.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: So the version where the dance is cool is not
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: even the one you get to play. Because it's just
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: you and some guy that plays guitar you met at
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: a coffee shop.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: But do you think, though, it could be a sign
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of the way that things will be? I remember when
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: vloggers came out, right? And there were people vlogging. I
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: didn't even know what was going on. People were trashing it. Yeah,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: people would trash it for sure. But those guys would
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: sell out. The vloggers would sell out comedy clubs around
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the country. People would come and they would do Q
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: & A with their fans. And so that kind of
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. And then I just wonder if
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the future is more Instant. Right.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Like, instant success.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Right. And no judgment of it. No, dude.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: But just looking at it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a sign of the times.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I think just from, you know, maybe in 30 years
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: or whatever, that's just, like you're saying, that's the only
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: way it happens.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm wondering. I wonder if things just evolve
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: where that's the only way.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: But eventually, like, that thing will be monopolized by somebody. Like,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: somebody will figure that out. It's probably already happening in
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: some ways. Either, I don't know, the powers that be,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it. We'll figure out some
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: way to make this thing. Okay, here's the formula for
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: how you do this and how you break this. It's
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: probably already happening a lot, to be honest. And here's
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: how we do. We got a new guy. He looks
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: fucking really cool. So here's this cool song. And then

• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the biggest thing when I was growing up was always

  Speaker 3: the path has ever evolved me.

• 15:37
  Speaker 3: in country music that use social media to his advantage

  Speaker 3: was like Kane Brown and like probably.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Me yeah like the first guys.

  Speaker 3: That like came to Nashville we had kind of our
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: own fans going on like the internet helped us get
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: fans and then we came to town it was like
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: well these guys already got stuff going on so and
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: I'm in no way like shaming anybody that does that
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: because I was the first yeah one of the first
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: guys that like and I didn't even know I was
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: doing it dude like I wasn't now people are probably
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: smart enough to like They're doing that because they're smart.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I was just doing it because I was like, oh, well,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: this will kind of– like I was like, you know
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: what I'm going to do is get all these followers
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: and sell them my songs.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Like there was never that. Well, you started on Vine, right? Yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Was that the social media platform? Yeah. And that's the
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: thing too. It's like, yeah, you don't know where the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: next social media platform is going to come. Right. This
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: is a crazy thing. And there's a lot of artists
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: out there like, man, maybe I don't find my– Way
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: with this social media platform. Right. But there could be
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: one about to be invented that's going to be the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: one that fits you.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: There's always something. Because what does it start with? It
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: starts with MySpace.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Right. MySpace. Facebook. Facebook.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Instagram.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Dude, remember they also had like friends. So they had
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: some other weird things that.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: No, TikTok, wasn't it musically, musically?
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: It was before?
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: And it was only where people would like lip sync
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: to songs. That was the only thing. I remember seeing
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: it and I was like, man, this is a weird platform.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: And they rebranded and it was the hugest thing ever.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, wait, was that where people would do duets together?
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: That was TikTok. That was the original version of TikTok
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: was that thing.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I had like a secret account there, like a Finsta
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: account or whatever. And I would go and do these
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: duets with these Japanese people. It's a lot of Asian
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: singers on there, and there was always duets. You can
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: do it any time of the day with people from
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: around the world. Yep, yep. I mean, that's invaluable.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, musical.ly, musically.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a horrible name.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: So they merged.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: So they merged.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: So TikTok was another, I guess, its own company.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: They kept the name. When you have a B-flat or
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: whatever that is in your word of your name, dude, that's,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: I'm out. Yeah, yeah.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Not great marketing there, dude.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't know that's who.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: That was, though. Yep. Because I remember when it came out,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, man, this is, like, brutal, dude. This
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: is not going to. Yeah.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: They figured something out, dude.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: For anybody who had the app already musically, it just
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: became TikTok. Like, I remember it was an old app
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: on my phone.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: He had it, dude. He was ripping, dude. Yes, dude.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: You were ripping duets, dude. Pull up some of your
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: duets on Musical.ly, dude. This guy's been babing all day.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Let's get those, dude. Let's get those going. Let's be honest.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Old popcorn lung in there, dude. He's... Well, now, is
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: it hard to make more... Is it hard, like, once
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: you've had... You've been real fortunate and had a great career, right? Oh,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: my gosh.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: The luckiest dude ever, yeah. Yeah.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: And I didn't mean it like that.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: No, I feel that way, dude.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Anybody who gets, yeah, it's like you get, obviously there's
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of good fortune that's going your way.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: But I've, dude, I've thought this a million times. I thought,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: before my last record come out, before the one before
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: that came out, I'm like, dude, this is the best
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I'll ever be, dude. And everything I do from here
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: on out is just going to be bad.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: And it's like, I don't know why. It's human nature
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: to some extent.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that seems normal.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Because then when I put my last record out and
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: then the Fast Car thing happened, that was so unexpected.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: It was not. Never in a million years did I think,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: what will be the biggest song of your whole career?
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Definitely wouldn't have a cover of Fast Car would not
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: have been.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: On the list. Yeah.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Not because I didn't love that song, but like, I
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: really recorded it on kind of a whim because we
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: had some extra time in the studio.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: And so sometimes those decisions can be the best decisions,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: you know. But I do think I'm like, man, well,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: you know. I mean, I'm sitting here right now, and
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I could tell you that today I've at some point
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: mulled over my, what happens next or what's my next thing?
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: And God's like, nobody cares, dude. And if I don't
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: do this thing, then nobody's going to listen. And I'm
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: just like, bro, I'm going to be playing for 120,000
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: people this weekend. And I'm still going, well, nobody cares, dude.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Nobody wants to see me or anything. And it's just
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: like I have to remind myself all the time of
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: like if I try to have this conversation with myself
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: is if I had the thought processes that I go
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: over with myself in my head now, If I had
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: them with myself 10 years ago, what would myself 10
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: years ago say? Because this will be my 10th year
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: in Nashville in September.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I see.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: And so I go, man, well, I, you know, nobody
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: cares if I post this Instagram story and it only gets,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: only 150,000 people liked it, which is insane. And it's
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: insane thought process.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. It's a lot of folks. But it's like.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: But that's what I think to myself today. And I'm
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: basically like, well, did this post, did it do good?
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: And I'm like.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: And if you feel like it wasn't, then suddenly you're
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: not good.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: But, dude, 10 years ago, 150,000 people had never even
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: heard of me before.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Ever, dude.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Like, never, ever. And then, again, I'm like, also, I
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: got two little kids at home. And, like, my oldest
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: son isn't even two yet.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, so he definitely is probably still eating for free
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: over there. Oh, yeah. He's not pulling his weight at all. Yeah.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: You know, a guy's got to get to work, you know?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's time. They should have. It's time. I love,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of play pens for children,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: but how about a work pen? A work pen? We
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: don't need a lot of work in there, but.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: It could just be like things that could be considered play. Yeah.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Like hit this nail into this thing. Right.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Some, yes.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: But how do we get like chain mail gloves on
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: so that they don't hurt themselves? You know, like a
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: chain mail mittens for your child.

• 23:03
  Speaker 1: whatever is what they were going for.

  Speaker 3: Safety training. How to stay safe in the mosh pit.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Dude, my buddy used to referee mosh pits, and he

• 23:51
  Speaker 3: just don't call on the stage.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: No, he was. Stay away from the stage. No, he
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: was like, once the mosh pit got going, he would
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: kind of cruise in and out of it. Kind of
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: like keeping things cool. whistle sometimes a little flashlight.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: It'd be sick to have a guy in there that's
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: just like you get a couple like lesser known ufc
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: guys and you just kind of put them in the
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: crowd and you're like dude just wreck people in there
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: you know i'm like if some guy's out of hand
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: just just just flatline this dude right in front of
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: everybody everyone's like man we should chill a little bit
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Yes just make you just become your own policeman yeah
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: this is it okay oh, that guy didn't like some
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: of the other guy's behavior.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: So that guy was, in theory, what your friend was,
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: what I just said. You go in and just jaw
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: a guy and make an example out of somebody.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I love that, dude. What a gig, dude. $ 50?
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: That seems underpaid for that thing a little bit, dude.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, they might have been some fiscal discrepancies
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: over there. You know, I've had some bad habits. And
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I've tried to kick them and sometimes I'll go a
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: few weeks and I'm doing well and sometimes I have
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: a setback. You know, and it's true that 73% of
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Americans have a bad habit or behavior that they find unhealthy. Well, fortunately,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: there is fume. That's right. Fume works through a passive
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: diffusion system that uses no electronics, vapor, or combustion, just
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: natural oils. So you can use it outdoors and indoors
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: as well. I like my fume. It kind of occupies
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: my mind, occupies my time, helps me get over cravings.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: It's really good if you're a nervous fidgeter because it
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: comes with a calming anxiety magnet sort of contraption that
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: just takes your mind off of things for a second.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: It looks pretty awesome too. It's kind of timeless looking,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: kind of old and new. It's free of toxins. It's
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: totally safe. It has no nicotine in it. That's right.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Fume is not a vape. No vapor. You can use
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: it anywhere. No nicotine. It's not addictive. Non-toxic flavors. It's
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: a guilt-free alternative. It's its own thing. And it's given
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: me the best chance at battling my bad habits. So

• 26:11

• 27:57
  Speaker 1: coming up. Yeah. Right? That's wild, yeah.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: It's like, you know, it's crazy to like, for the
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: sake of what it is, not having really talked about
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: it at all, really.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Is it, when you put out a new album, does it,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: how tough is it to like, Cause like, you know
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: what your fans like kind of are people that come
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: to see you have a general idea. For sure. And
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: then do you, yeah. Is it spooky to like try
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: and change that, but also evolve for yourself? And then like,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: who am I even becoming like that sort of thing? Yeah, man.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: I think about that a lot, you know, going back
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: to when we were talking a little bit ago, like,
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: what do you think about yourself or your career?
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: What's next?
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: And it's, I've always, I've always said this to myself
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: was like, I want to like grow up with my
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: fan base. Like, You know, somebody that listened to me
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: that's been a fan of me, well, maybe it's been
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: 10 years, dude. I mean, I'm 34. So when I
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: was 24, I just moved to Nashville. I did have
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: some fans, not a lot, but some. And I meet
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: people that are like, dude, I was a fan, been
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: a fan since the Vine days, dude. You know, like
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: I still meet people that say that. And so if
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: you were a fan of mine then, let's say you were,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: even if you were 18, so you were six years
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: younger than me. Well, now you're not 18 anymore.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: You're 28.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: You know, you could be 28. You could be married
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: with kids, whatever it is, like. You know, and there's
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: a huge part of me that I worry, like, well,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: will I age myself out? Like, am I, does anybody
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: even want to hear songs about being a dad or whatever?
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: And it's like, I hope so. But, like, also, I
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: don't want to, you know, I felt like I could
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: go get with, you know, I'm I'm not the world's
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: best writer, but I'm lucky to be friends with a
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: lot of guys that are, I feel like. And so
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: I could go get in a room with them and write,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: you know, something like beer broke my heart or, you know,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: when it rains.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: It pours.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Like I could try to recreate that time and time again.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: And I, sometimes I like, I want to do that
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: because I selfishly, I'm like, well, that would make me
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: this or that would give me another big song or whatever.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: But it's like, I've just been, you know, like I said,
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: I've got, I've got two boys that are under two
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: years old, man. So like my life is dominated by
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: the thoughts of like being there for them. And like,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: you know, I want to be their dad first. And
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: so I, I, I had to like write this, I
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: had to do this project because it's the only thing
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: that's been on my mind. Like when I go get
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: in the writing room and someone's like, man, let's write,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Something fun, dude, and this up-tempo thing. And it's like–
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: it's hard to like get in that mindset because all
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: the things I'm doing is like– dude, like grilling dogs
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: and like– Yeah. Like playing in the kiddie pool.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Tickling kids or whatever, yeah.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: But it's hard to like get in that like– the
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: mindset of.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, yeah, you can't have tickle that kiddo
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: and have it be, uh, you know, chain mail children.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: That's one.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: And this is going to turn into fundraiser for kids
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: who have been abused. But, um, it's funny that you
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: say some of that. Cause I sat one, uh, one
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: day I was sitting with this guy that owns a
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: management company, um, for comedians and probably the biggest management company.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: And he was saying, well, you want to grow up
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: with your fan base. You know, you want, cause they're
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: going to evolve. And if you just stay like this,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: like not stay, but if you're kind of a, you know, they, they,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: if you fail to evolve, then right. It can be,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: you're just, you're not going to, it can become stale. Yeah.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: It's like, it just becomes okay, man. Well, I've, you know,
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, if, except for the one guy that's eating 10,000
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Big Macs or whatever it is, you can't eat it
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: every meal, dude. I mean, not that they're not good,
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: but you want a little something like, The menu's got
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: to expand a little bit.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: And not that you can't come back to the classics
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: at some point.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. My mother would always get a McFish, I remember. McFish, dude.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: And it always— Is that the pre-filet of fish? The
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: second she ordered it, I was like, I don't even
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: know her anymore. McFish, dude. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. I
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: didn't know they had it. She did it to kind
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: of be like— She was.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Evolving with her fan base, dog.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Like— She was. We were
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: learning new stuff.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you were learning new flavor of the week, dude.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: He's a McFish guy. You know what I mean? But
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: she would get us to be quiet, and then she
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: would order the McFish. And I would be like, nobody
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: cares if we're loud while you order it. It's not
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: going to make us any not poor. It's not going
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: to make us.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: The people at the window will think we have class
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: if you guys aren't screaming while I order this McFish.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? That right there, Luke, that
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: is exactly who my mother is. That is exactly who
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: she is. I've never been able to put it into words.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: You damn kids, shut the hell up. Let me make
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: this right now.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: And it's like little Theodore will have a junior children's meal.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: And I'll have. She would get everybody out.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: She's definitely not a shit ass who stole a bike
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: last week for sure.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: And I'll have a McFish.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Like that was the classy. They're like, now is that
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: wild caught or is it farm raised? i'll take blackened
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: the blackened mcfish i'll.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Have yeah yeah dude blackened.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Oh it's wild caught dude it says no chance dude
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: that it's wild there is no chance.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Well luke now give them their chance look luke this
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: is probably legitimate information they have a jpeg with it
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: um Our fish sandwich recipe features a crispy fish filet patty.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: That's the interest. Filet patty is a weird term.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Filet patty? Complete contradiction, dude, right there. That's like saying, dude,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: this ribeye steak, that's now a hamburger, though. But it
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: was a ribeye steak at one point.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this filet McNugget is really up to no good.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: It says wild-caught Alaskan pollock on melty American cheese, and
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: it's topped with creamy McDonald's tartar sauce. Wow.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Next guest for the show needs to be a guy
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: that works on the McDonald's fishing vessel.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Yes. Because we need a little bit of— The McCaptain.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: The McSkipper, dude. Yeah, we need the McSkipper. Dude, we
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: should get to the bottom of fish. Is it really?
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Like, can we find the guy that caught my filet
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: of fish, my McFish? He's out there, dude.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: He's out there. He's in Alaska right now, dude. I
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: don't know if he's in Alaska. The salty dog.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Dude, that caught that McFish, dude, is out there.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I believe that the guy's ever been to Alaska. Wild caught, dude.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Wild caught, though. That's the part I'm not sure of.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what we've talked about so far.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: But it's about father and son. I know you have
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: some new children, right? Yep. And I know your family
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: moved here. I remember hearing you talk before on Joe
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Rogan that your family had moved to Nashville.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my parents moved to town.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. How's that been?
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: It's been awesome. I mean, it's been an adjustment for them.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Most of my life lived in.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Asheville, North Carolina. It's fun over there. Orange Peel. We
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: played over there before.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: I love the Orange Peel, man.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: It's a great place. That whole town is just... And
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: also the hillside. You could just roll off of a
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: building and end up in a damn different county almost. Yeah,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: you could, dude.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: But it was an adjustment period for... Especially my dad.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? I mean, all his buddies
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: lived there.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: But it's... I remember a buddy of mine telling me,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: you know, I think it's just... you know, it's the,
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: it's the, like this whole dad's project is just all
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: these different thought processes that happen with, you know, excuse me,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: the way my dad sees things and the way that
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: I see things now and the way I see things,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: maybe what was his perspective when he was doing this
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: with me or, you know, what are my kids going
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: to think about me or how am I going to
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: be remembered by them? And I remember a friend of
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: mine who wrote on this project with me, he was
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: telling me, it was his dad's 70th birthday recently and
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: he called his dad and he was like, well, you know,
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: old man, how's it feel?
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: And he said, well, ain't no way around it, pal.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: This is the ninth inning. And I just remember being like, God,
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: like what a thought, like what a, like, and it
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: was just like, I remember like ever, I've never forgot
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: that quote. And because, you know, I think that a
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: lot of the, you know, the, the struggles that, you know, my,
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: my dad had come in here or it was a
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: combination of like, okay, well he's moving on from, you know,
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: they lived in Asheville for 25 some years, dude, in
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: the same house.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: Like raised me there and all these memories that are
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: left behind and friends that are left behind and everything that,
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: you know, has changed. And then also coming to terms
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: with the fact that you, that you, you yourself are
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: aging and kind of like, maybe that, that fear of
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: what's next or, you know, how long do you have? Like,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine what that process is like, but that
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: quote stuck with me.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Did your relationship with your dad change after you had boys?
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: You have two boys?
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: I have two boys.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: And yeah, man, it became, you know, I had a
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: lot more, I had a lot more understanding and grace for,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: you know, decisions that, that he made or, Things that
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: maybe I did that I didn't understand. Well, why is
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: he upset about this thing or why would this make
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: him upset? And I've had friends in the last couple
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: of years that have lost their dads and watching them
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: go through that. It's just this constant theme of that's
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: where we are in life. We're at this weird kind
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: of turnover point where people begin to lose their parents
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: and then you are– soon you will be the oldest
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: man in your family.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: Which is a scary thought, even though I'm only 34,
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: but like, you're like, okay, well, if I'm 40, am
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: I like, I'm the oldest generation of maybe man that
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: my children will know.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: It's a weird thought. It's a weird thought. You know,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: it's just like, it's a strange.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: It's a strange, strange time for sure. In a good way,
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: but it's just.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. There's so many little phases you go through. Like,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: like you, you know, you could be a son, a brother,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: an uncle, a dad. You know, there's all, like, these
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: little roles and stuff that you have. And, yeah, getting older, like,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: almost all my friends have children except me. I was like,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I got to get some damn children. But you can't
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: just be yelling that off your back porch, you know? Yeah.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: So you got to actually have a game plan, too,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: and get a spouse.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: That would be a good strategy for sure, I think.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: That'd be a good start for sure, you know?
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: That'd be a good start.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Good jumping off point, I think, you know?
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: What were some of the songs I listened to? Front
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Door Famous. That's awesome. Yeah, I love that.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: That one made me really feel something, you know? Yeah,
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: I was like, I love the whole thing, man. It
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: turned out we could, you know, I cut the record live.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: So it was just like, we just cut it on
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: the floor. Like me, two different sessions, one, one evening,
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: we cut five songs. The other evening we cut seven.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: And so when you say cut it live, like what
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: does that term mean?
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: So like, we would just like, well, let's say we're
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: in a room like this. and it's almost set up
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: like a show in the studio and then they just
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: hit record and play the whole thing down and like
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: that's what you're hearing you know we did that twice
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: for each song and then they went okay well this
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: one's better than the other one so that's the one
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: we're using so it's just there's no like when we
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: normally make a record you know It's not. It's more
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: of a timed. So I think, you'd have to fact
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: check me on this, but I don't think in some
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: ways that Stapleton gets the credit he deserves because he
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: records all of his records like that.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Wow. And it's so hard.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: To do that, dude. You have to be, the artist
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: has to be so dialed in. Obviously, the musicians are
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: unbelievable anyways.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: That's just one take. That's it. Yeah.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Or, and if you mess up, it's like, well, we
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: got to do another take now. It's not like, there's
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: no stopping and starting.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: There's no mixing and matching.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: There's no mixing and matching. It's all just top to bottom. Like,
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: you know, and I would do every record if I
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: could like that. I enjoyed that process so much. Cause
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: like the stakes feel high.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: You know? Right. Feels like it just means something. Like,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Hey man, like I.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Gotta like bring something to this take dude. Like it's
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: not another sing this line six times.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: And then if you package it together, right.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: So it separates in a lot of dude. And I'm not,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, with the Stapletons of the world, like it
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: separates the, the, the, you know, the, the strong from
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: the weak. Like if every record had to be recorded
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: like that, a lot of your favorite artists would not
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: be recorded.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Like it just, it takes
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: such a level of talent and I'm not saying that
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: I have that. I don't want to sound like that,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: but when you look at the world and the other
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: people that do that, And, I mean, the studio musicians
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: deserve so much credit, dude. I mean, those guys are wicked, dude.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, it is unreal how good those guys are, man.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Such an underappreciated part.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: I've never been a studio musician, but it looks insanely hard. Yeah,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: it's really hard. And it's a lot of the best
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: people in the world, really.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, a lot of the best musicians
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: in the world live in Nashville. I mean, without a doubt.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: And not just country singers. We're talking bass players, guitar players, drummers.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: And it's like a lot of them are guys that
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: unless you live in that super niche community, like you've
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: never heard of.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Some of the best drummers in the world, you've never
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: heard of them, but they play on every record that
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: you've ever listened to.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: I know. It's kind of wild, huh? It's really kind
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: of wild the limitedness that we usually know about like
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: the people on stage a lot of times. Yeah.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Like the behind the scenes guys, dude. And even like
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: my guys in my band, like they're not even the
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: guys playing on the records, dude.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: What? Oh, because you use a different group to.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Session players are a whole different thing than the studio guys.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Not that those guys couldn't be both if they chose to.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: But most of the best session players are just session players.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, they go.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: I'm talking just below your mind. Your favorite drummer's favorite
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: drummer is a session player. Your favorite bass player's favorite
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: bass player is a session player. And those guys are
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: just under-thought of. If you go look at the credits
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: of any country album for the last 10 years, like
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: who's playing fiddle or who's playing dobro. It's the same three,
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: four cats, any instrument. I mean, there's three, four guys
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: of any instrument. That's like, that's the guy you call her.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: That's the girl you call.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: There was probably year round doing it, huh? Every day.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: They're doing it every day. God, I mean, God, we
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: should have gotten into a different trade.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Those guys are there.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: They're wild, man. That's what I'm thinking about. So good, dude. Yeah.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I guess being like a pan, it's like,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: you get to see like where all your parents, like
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: just things that they didn't do or that they couldn't do.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: It makes a lot more sense. Yeah.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's so many things where you go, you know,
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: you think when you're a kid, right. Or my mom
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: or my dad did this thing and I would never
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: do that. You know, I wouldn't ever do that to
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: my kids or whatever. And, you know, sometimes those things
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: end up being like, yeah, man, I still would never
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: do that. And sometimes you go, oh, now I get.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Why we had to do that.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: Why they did that thing. It makes a lot of
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: sense now. Like it, to me, it unlocks this. Some,
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: at least for me, it did, you know, it unlocks
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: some part of your brain that's inaccessible in some ways.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: Like once the kid that's happened, dude, it's this whole
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: new level of like caring about something or loving something.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: That's like, you know, it's not the same way you
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: love your wife or your husband or whoever you love.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: It's a different kind of thing.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: And you were shocked. It was that new, huh? Yes, dude.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: It was just like, you know, cause you hear like
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: a whole new chord or something. Yeah.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: Like all those cliches, dude, you hear about. Well, you
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: just wait to how fast it goes. And you know,
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: you just, you're going to find out.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Like all that cheesy shit.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: It's all true, dude.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: Like all that stuff makes so much sense. Like when,
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: and all their cliches, cause they, people say all the time,
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: cause they're true.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: And it really is. It's really been a wild experience.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: The juxtaposition too is weird. Like, cause I'm on this
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: tour right now and you know, people are like, and I've,
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: it's no fault to anybody, but they, a lot of
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: people don't really know what touring is like. So they
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: kind of assume like.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: What it was. Yeah.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: You ever see your kids, you must be gone all
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: the time. And I'm like, I'm home more days a
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: week than I'm gone or the same amount.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: Like I'm home like three and a half days a week.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: I'm gone like three and a half days a week.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: So that's more than most people that work 40 hours
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: a day get to spend.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: It's a good point. At home with their kids, you know?
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: So like I get to, But it's such a weird
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: juxtaposition to go from. You go out, let's say fly to,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: you know, Phoenix or wherever, and you play two nights
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: in the same stadium, dude. And the next day you're home, dude,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: and you're just dad and there's nobody there. I mean,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: we live in a two bedroom, two bathroom house. That's
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: 2100 square foot.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And the kids are what? General admission. Yeah, they're GA.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: They don't even pay. Well, no, they just get them free.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: Kids eat free, dude. So they just come in and
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: just take the place.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Over, dude. Dude, that would be the best tour you
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: could have if you had a kids eat free tour.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: But, dude, sponsored by Ryan's Buffet.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: Or Golden Crow, either one.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that would be the best. And they should
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: have a contest, too. What's the farthest somebody can hum
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: a McNugget and another kid catches them out, dude?
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: Like a beer Olympics, but it's buffet Olympics.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Just a McNugget. There's something so American about seeing a
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: McNugget go through the air.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: You get a McNugget cannon. You can jam like a
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: hundred in a t-shirt cannon and just blast McNuggets out
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: into the crowd, dude.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Everybody's just catching them on their.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: There'll be some good slow-mo shots.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: It's like that Kiss cam with the McNugget cam. McNugget cam, dude. But, dude,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: that's how it's going to get. I think if it
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: gets so bad where people can't afford to eat or whatever,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: then they're going to be like— The concerts will be events. Yes.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Food will be how to get people to events. Got it. 100%, man.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: That's the thing you're going to need. Yep.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Pay for the show, stay for the food.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Could you even imagine what a huge buffet would
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: be like at a freaking.
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: In a stadium? Like if it was every, like the
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: world's longest buffet, you know, is it like, it just
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: snakes through the whole floor.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Let's bring that up. Where is the world's longest buffet? Okay.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Let's take bets. All right.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: I'm going to guess probably in like a Midwest, somewhere
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: in the Midwest.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'm going to guess.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know, by the way. I really don't know.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go with a little bit more of
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: the orange Midwest. I'm going to say China, I think.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: World's longest. So world's longest. World's longest because they are buffet.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Is longest or largest, is it different? Oh, it's a
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: good question. Biggest. Pennsylvania, dude. Wow. Not, is it Midwest?
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: I think it's upper Midwest.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: It feels very Eastern Midwest.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Really? It's lower Dutch. I know it's, In 1962, under
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: maple trees, Mr. and Ms. Henry Martin sold produce along
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: the road. That was the beginning of the Shady Maple
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Farm Market, according to Shady Maple. The largest buffet in
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Shady Maple Smorgasbord.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: Smorgasbord. There used to be a Smorgasbord in Hermitage when
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: I lived out there.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that place? It was called... And what
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: is it? It's just a place to eat as much
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: as you can? Yes.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: Well, I think, I believe, now this is big, big
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: English language guy, big vocab guy here. But I believe
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: a smorgasbord means there's a lot of different kinds of
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: food in one place.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Whoa, guy, that sounds insane. You know what I mean?
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: It's not like you're making stuff up.
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: Holy crap.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: Literally knowledge. Let's see. What is smorgasbord?
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: Self-service luncheon or supper offering a large variety of foods
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: and dishes.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: From Swedish smorgasbord, a buffet meal.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, it sounds great. Yeah, that's smorgasbord. So it's just
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Swedish for buffet.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: It's the Swedish version of buffet, dude.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why do they make it sound so crazy? Yeah, yeah.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like everything you want to eat is just
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Even that word has all– it seems like it has
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of calories in it, just smorgasbord. What was
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: your first car, Luke? Speaking of your car song doing
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: so great.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: My first car I got was a purple Subaru Outback.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Used. Why?
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: A lady my mom worked at got a new car,
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: and she gave my mom a deal on it.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Dude, it was actually– Purple they had. Purple.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: It was a deep indigo. It was a deep indigo.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: It was much older than these versions you're looking at.
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: These are way newer.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: This is probably a 2000.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: And maybe a 99, 2001, 2000 type model.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: There we go.
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: That's the one, dude.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: There she is.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's about the exact car.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: That's beautiful.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: Now, about... Three months after I got it, totaled it.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on, man.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: Dude, and it had, I'm talking about, I didn't realize
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: how nice it was because it had leather seats, heated seats.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: And I was like, but I was like, dude, I'm
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: driving around in this like mom wagon, dude.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: Wrecked it. And then my parents got me.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: A $ 500.
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: Dodge Neon that had been previously totaled.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Dude, look up a 2000 Dodge Neon.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: Base level no automatic windows no automatic doors carpet.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Seats oh my god it's beautiful well.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: Oh there she is dude probably that fourth picture on
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: the top it was probably my mother that's about exactly
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: what i was cruising.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: My mother got a dodge neon and we used to
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: me and my brother used to go sleep in it
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: at night we go sit out there and sleep in
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: it and um it was beautiful i would like to
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: say that but also yeah it is crazy how they

  Speaker 1: will sell you in this country they will sell you
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: a Previously totaled. Yeah, this car has been destroyed.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: Somebody out there has my totaled purple Outback right now.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: That's like selling somebody a dead friend or whatever.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: And they're like, yeah, but he's like, he's all good now.
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Like now it's cool.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: But dude, that's in the past, bro.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: His death was in the past. You have to give
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: him a second chance. Going online without ExpressVPN. It's kind
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: of like when you leave your keys in the car
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: at the gas station. When you just, I'm going to
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: run inside, I'll just leave them in there. Most of
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: the time you're probably fine, but what if you come
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: back to see someone just cruising off in your whip?
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: That's what it's like without ExpressVPN. Why do you need ExpressVPN? Well,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: every time you connect to an unencrypted network, which is
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: in a hotel, an airport, a cafe, your online data
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: is not secure. Any hacker on the same network can
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: gain access and steal your personal data. Super secure. That's
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: what you need to be and that's what ExpressVPN is offering.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: It would take a hacker with a supercomputer and over
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: a billion years to get past ExpressVPN's encryption. It's easy
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: to use. Fire up the app and click one button
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: to get protected. I've used ExpressVPN. I'm thankful that I
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: use it and I'm thankful that I feel more secure.

• 54:29
  Speaker 3: Fodder. But all the ones we've come up with. Yeah,
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: rattle off a couple. So it's really just, it provokes
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: a conversation amongst friends.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: Let's see, like, okay, like you take a tour of
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: a factory.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Are you garbage? Ooh.
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: Like it's all just little things like that.

  Speaker 1: That's a great question.
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: Where you're like- If you, let me see this one.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: Attempting to light a fart on fire.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Garbage. If you're a woman, yeah. Yeah, I think, yeah.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: If you're a guy, you're an industrial engineer. It's just ingrained.
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's see what else we got.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: If you're a guy, you might be one of the
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Wright brothers. I have no idea. I don't want to
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: stop your fire, but. Ooh, like. But, yeah, if you're
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: a woman and you're indoors, that's a hell.
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: Like having crackers as like a topping on like a casserole? Trash.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: That's simply trash, dude. Yeah, dude. If you've ever crumpled
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: up a couple crackers.
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: And that's like your topping on top of your dish?
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude. Also, if you use a lot of toppings.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Toppings are totally. Fixings, dude.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: Fixings are a whole thing.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: Why is this stuff making me die laughing? But yeah,
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: if you have that much fixings, dude.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: Just we– so it's like trash to like buying merch
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: from a gas station. Like if you buy like a
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: clothing item from a gas station.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: Non-ironically. Right. If you're like, yeah, I wonder what they got.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: You're like, man, I bet they got something nice in here.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: Like you ever hit a Love's?
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: I've never had a love for a spring collection.
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: There's a guy that's unironically thumbing through the shirts, and
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: he's like, dude, these are kind of fire. He's thinking
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: these are pretty.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: Fire shirts, dude. God, some of these.
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: The trucking community.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of the trucking community, they're like, oh,
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: this shirt goes with that statue, and they'll always say that, too. Yeah.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: They always have a lot of like, it'll be like
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: a dolphin unicorn, but single animal, merged animal. Yeah. It'll
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: be like merged animals. Yeah. That'll be the section. It's
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: like liger. Yeah, yeah, like liger. Like that. It's like...
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Like a centaur. Yep. Centaur tits and horse body. Yep. Oh, dude.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: Another regard is using the bathtub or a sink at
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: a hotel as a cooler. So like putting ice in it.
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: And then like filling, like putting your drinks in that receptacle.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Because if you don't use the shower at all, that's
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: the thing that. That's even worse. Yeah, that's.
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: So then what are you, you're not showering in lieu
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: of having.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just some cozy cold drinks, cold pops.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: It's a very spring break feel.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: I feel like to that.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: What did we do, dude? We got a, well, my
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: first car was 84 Ford Escort. And somebody had. Oh,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: it was beautiful. Well, it was pretty much semi-beautiful probably. Yeah.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: And somebody had stole the passenger seat out of it, right?
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: Like this happened while you owned it. Or when you
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: got it, it had already been thieved.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: When I got the vehicle, I had it for like
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: three days and somebody stole it. I think it was
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: the guy. I think he didn't want to sell the
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: whole car.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: So he fenced it. He fenced the seat.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He came in and was like, you know what?
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: I'm taking this back.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean to.
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: Sell you the whole car. I wanted that seat out
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: of there, dude.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: I forgot, dude. Hey, I forgot my wife told me
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: not to sell that seat. Yeah.
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: We had our first kid on that seat, and she
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: told me not.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: That's a memento. It was an 84 Ford Escort, baby,
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: and I got, God, I paid $ 600 large for that thing.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: What color was it? Which one?
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: What's the most accurate representation?
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: Gray. They only had, I think, of the 84 hardtop. Hardtop, dude. Dude,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: I love how this.
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: Too clean 1984 Ford Escort, dude.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: I'm saying hard top like there was any other fucking
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: top on that bitch, dude.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: Like a drop top. Dude, you got some coin now.
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: Go buy an 84 Escort and chop the top off
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: of it, dude.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Get a convertible top one, dude. No, I think it's
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: supposed to have the top on it so you can
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: get safely to school. That's what I did in it,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: but somebody stole my passenger seat I had for three days. Yeah.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: So then the crazy part was you go pick a
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: girl up and they get in the car. In the back.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: But they had to get in the back through the
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: front like it only had.
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: The front door.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: So then again, just, well, at least you didn't have
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: to flip the seat up.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that part was actually nice. But then if
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: somebody wanted to be right by you, they'd have to
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: get right on their knees. Yeah.
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: So they could just, but it's like built in like
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: lounger though.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Kind of. It's true. They just want to sit in
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: the back and chill. For the girls. Like a king vibe.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: For girls. Girls didn't like it. Yeah. Probably could see that. Yeah.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: Girls are like, I don't know what's happening.
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: They were like, man, this car is like really trashy.
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: And you were like, no, it's cool, dude.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: I love this car.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: God, dude. And I. And then one time it got
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: T-boned outside of this, I think, place called Isidore's or something,
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: some little sandwich shop, Iggy's or something.
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: Smorgasbord.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Smorgasbord. Smorgasbord. Yeah, Smorgasbord is fucking bird snacks, baby.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so, and I got T-boned. And then after that,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: I was dating this cute girl. But every time I'd
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: go to her house, I would try to hide the
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: car at an angle. It was so banged up now. Where, like,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: almost the angle she'd walked and get in, she wouldn't
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: really be able to see all the damage. The damage.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: My Neon used to, when I would stop, the radiator
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: would leak a little bit. So, like, if I wasn't driving, like,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: the radiator, like, there was a, it was like that, like,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: kind of that rubberized, like, top on the radiator tube there,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: and it had just the littlest crack in there. And
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: me and my dad, we tried to fix it a
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: million times, but it would get so hot that, like,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: no matter what you put over it, it wouldn't stick. Like,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: all the best like lock type bond and all that
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: stuff like the heat would get it so it would
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: like spit stuff out of it and then that would
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: get on like the engine block and so anytime i
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: would stop it would just smoke a just a little
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: bit dude so i'm already like.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: Spending my last two dollars really I was spending my.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: Last $ 2 buying fish tacos at, you know, Long John Silver's. Anyways,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: I'm already embarrassed with myself. And then like, they're like,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: if there was anybody that you had seen, you're in
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: the drive-thru waiting to get your $ 2 tacos and your
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: car's like smoking. And they're like, dude, maybe. And they
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: look at you and you're 300 pounds, dude.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: And they're like, probably.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: Shouldn't be getting these tacos, you know?
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: Like, they're like, just fix the car, man. Like, dismiss
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: a couple tacos. Like, you're going to be fine.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: At a certain point, dude, you got to look at
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: the scale of justice.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: Just do you need Baja fish tacos?
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: You don't, dude.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: It's like the McFish. You don't need it.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? God, when she ordered it, though.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: And you would see other people in the distance look
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: over at us when she ordered it and shit. And
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: I'd be so ashamed. I'd be like. But it was
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: wild caught, though.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: So it's fine.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know where they, it seemed like they,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, it seemed like outdoor caught. Some
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: of it, it was kind of darker, some of the fish, but.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: Out and caught in nature would be like a better,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: caught in the wild, caught.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Out in the open. I think it said coerced, it
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: said on the side of it. Wildly coerced. I don't
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: know if this is a good fish or not. And
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: did you take any good trips recently, man? Have you
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: been anywhere fun? For vacation? For vacation? For vacation?
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: Gosh, dude, I hadn't been, we hadn't been on like
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: a real vacation. And like me and the wife, I mean,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: we haven't gone on vacation. I mean, we got two,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: we have had two kids back to back, dude.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: So we're like. Do they sleep in y'all's room, y'all's children?
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: No, we have, we just, the youngest one, he just
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: left our room a month or two ago. So our
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: boys share a room right now.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's fun, huh?
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: So it's, I mean, you know, if they were older,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: I think it'd be fun. But I think now they're
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: just kind of like. how can I keep the other
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: one awake? Like they don't really know what they're doing
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: or why they're doing it. They just like, one of
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: them's always making noise and the other one's like looking
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: and like, Our one's like he can't even– like he's
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: just now able to kind of like pull himself up.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: So he's like a fall risk just all the time.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: He's like in the crib and he's like trying to
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: look at the other one because he's rattling the blinds. Right.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: It's like they're always doing something.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: It seems like a band that's on drugs or something. Yeah.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: It kind of is like that. Some of the stories.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: To think back on it, you know, some of our
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: guys have probably done some similar things on the road
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: at times, dude.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: You know? Oh, my God. But it's– we haven't gone–
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: I mean we– Gosh, man.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've been, it feels like I've been all
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: over the world in the last couple of years, but like,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: that's just going on a vacation.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: I know it's hard to find a spot and really
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: get in and be like, all right, let's go do it. Yeah.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: And it's like, it's weird too. Cause like, you know,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: vacation for me is like getting to be home. Like
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: that feels like vacation to me.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: But then like my wife is home a lot with
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: the kids and stuff. So she does want to like make,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: like get away and go somewhere and do something. And
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: it's like, You know, finding that time where, you know,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: I don't feel like I'm traveling somewhere every week and
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: going back and forth.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, stuff can burn you up, man.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: You know, it's just– it's a wild thing, man, right now.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: We're just in this weird balance because of the kids
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: right now because they're so small.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: And there's nothing you can do. You have to take
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: care of them every day. 100%.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: Like, I mean, that's– Wow. That's the number one thing, dude.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, there is no– you know, the kids don't
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: care about the stadium. They don't know anything.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: And do they rate you guys or anything?
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: Like, how do you know– There is a complaint box.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Or, yeah, do you guys, like, get an email every

  Speaker 1: Such a jail ever that's one of the songs on
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: the new.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: Album on chain mail children dude yeah the best jail
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: ever yeah work pen dude yeah.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: They should have the best jail ever.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: But I don't, and we think about, it's like, well, how,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: you know, then you think about how close do I
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: want the kids to be to each other? Like how,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: you know, how does it, where it's, what's tour look
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: like next year? Is it going to be extra busy
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: or we have a light year? Like, it's weird to
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: think about that stuff. Cause at the end of the day,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: you're talking about like potentially like a person.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: That will be like a live doing like that. Well,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: I have an entire life, you know? And so like,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I often wonder, you know, I often,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: not fantasize is the wrong word, but, like, think about,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: you know, it just being, like, my kids' parents is, like,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: I almost worry about them, like, finding out what I
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: do in some ways.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: You mean dance at night? Yeah.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: Like, we have, like, put on a nice vinyl, you know, dancing.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be great if that's what you meant? Like, look,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: I just don't want them to know.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: Then I dance, man.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: That's when I'll occasionally dance. Classically trained. Yeah, I'll dance
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: for their mother in the evening sometimes.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: Big boy ballerina in the evening. You know what I mean?
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess. I wonder how kids, you know, because
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: it is so tough. You see so many kids that
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: are somehow traumatized or face some sort of like just
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: the byproduct of their parents being in the limelight, especially maybe,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know if especially in music, maybe not especially,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: but just in the limelight.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think about it a lot, you know, because
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: I go, you know, I don't, like, and it's going
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: to sound weird. It's like you almost wish they could
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: just not know in some ways. And not because I
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: don't want them to know. That's not what I'm getting at.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: It's like I almost just want them to be, like,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: naive to the whole thing for as long as is
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: humanly possible.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: Like, I want them to, the only thing they're worried
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: about is, like, riding bikes and playing trucks and, you know,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: riding around on the Polaris with mom and dad.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: I don't, but there gets to a point like, you know,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: as soon as like school is looming, like, you know,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: I've got some other artist buddies that have kids and
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: they're like, well, you got to tell them or somebody
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: else is going to tell them.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: It's almost like telling your kids there's no Santa. Or something.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: But it's like the opposite of that.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: It's like the opposite of that.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: Like telling your kids there is a Luke Combs. Right. Yeah.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: And it's like, I don't want them to like ever,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: I don't want my kids to ever think of me
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: that way. Like, sure, I will.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: Want them to be really that was good some of
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: his early stuff i like better but i still love him.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: The last couple albums were just garbage yeah once he
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: had us they just you know they just really stunk
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: you put.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: Imagine if that happened to a kid where their dads
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: their sales weren't as good after they had children.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: And they were like, we have the– me and my
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: buddies have the golf theory, dude.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: Once you start playing golf, it gets bad? No.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: Well, for sure, I think, for me at least. But
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: it's– once, like, the great golfers, once they have kids,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: it gets harder to maintain, like– because the amount of, like,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: practice and stuff that they have to do– I mean,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: I don't– I know next.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: To nothing about being a professional golfer, by the way.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: This is just a guy who watches golf and, like,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: wishes that he could do golf.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I always pretend like something came up and
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: my friend's asking me to go play golf or something.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: You're like, sorry, man, I got to.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: I got to go do something. I got to go vote.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: I'll even say that. Yeah, and they're like, what? And
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: you're like. You're like, yeah. Yeah, they're voting for the comptroller. Yeah.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: City comptroller. Just practicing for the big game in November.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: Big thing.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: I was having a practice Super Bowl party tonight, so
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: I actually can't. I wanted to make sure the Super
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: Bowl party would be good, but it's not. I have
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: a run through.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: Did you, did you have, have you played the Super
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: Bowl yet?
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: No. There hasn't been a country artist in the Super
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: Bowl in a.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: Long time. Who was the last one?
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: It was a, it was a big medley of people.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: I believe it's Clint Black, Travis Tritt, Shania, Tanya Tucker.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: It was like a bunch of country artists that did
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: like a big medley thing, I believe. Now there's been
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 3: a bunch of artists that have done the anthem.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: But as for the halftime show, there hasn't been one since,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: you have to look it up, the mid-90s.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: Reba McIntyre's coming up. The anthem, though. Oh, the anthem.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: The anthem.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: You mean like the actual halftime show.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's been, it only happened one time. Only one
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: time ever? Yep. Wow. That seems unreal, huh?
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: So it's Shania Twain, Gwen Stefani, and Sting. Okay, so
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: Shania was different than the, the other medley thing.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: Right. So they had Shania twice. Yeah.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: So twice ever, I would imagine that at some point
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: Taylor Swift has to do it.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's a good point.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: But I don't know if that would still be considered.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that would start as a considered
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: a country artist now.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's kind of universal. But like to think like
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: a guy like Garth's never done it. I know.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: A guy like George Strait's never done it. You know,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: like so many of these guys.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I've watched Garth sing it. You know, have
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: you gotten to spend much time with Garth ever?
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: I have not a ton of time, but we've spoken
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: many times. Like, I took my band out to see
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: his show out in Vegas. I was out there. I
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: was playing, like, a private event, and it didn't start until, like,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: 1130 or something, like, super late night. It was, like,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: a birthday party thing. And so, you know, we got
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: to Vegas, like, in the morning. So I'm like, what
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: the hell do we do all day? So I start
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: looking stuff up and I'm like, oh my gosh, Gar's
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: playing and tonight he's doing his show.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: Gotta see it.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: So I'm like, and the band, like I told the band,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: I was like, I hit my manager up. I was like,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: hit up Gar's folks and see if we can maybe
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: get some tickets. And, you know, so man, yeah, he
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: came in, dude. We got over there and dude, he
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: came in and said, hey, to the band. And like
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: the band had no idea we were going to meet him.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: At all.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: Cause like some dude, my band guys are like, and
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: it's a couple of them from Oklahoma and stuff.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: So I love him. They probably love him. Drawings of him.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 3: And so a hundred percent they do. And, uh, but
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: he came in and taught everybody and got us great seats.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: They let us come in. Like, cause you know, those shows,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: they're like no phones or whatever. I think like a
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 3: lot of the Vegas stuff, you can't have your phone
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: or something.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Um, so. Yeah. Cause they don't want to, yeah.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: I think they don't want anybody having their phone. To
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: like see, so they can't like record stuff. People sell
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: it like streams.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: Vietnam. Yeah. All kinds of stuff. Yeah.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: So they let us come in like right when the
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: lights went down, they brought us in because like, I
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: was like, Hey man, I want to come, but there's no,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: like at those theaters, there's not really like suites or
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: like backstage.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: Right. You don't want to take away from that. Yeah.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: I'm like, Hey man, I just want to like, come in,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: like just sit. This thing and, like, not, you know.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's weird.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: Like, I tell people, like, man, I don't really like
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: being the center of attention as.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: Weird as that is. Considering what I do. Yeah.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: It makes me, like, really uncomfortable. Like, when people make, like,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: a big deal about me, like, being at stuff.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, baby, yeah.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: And I'm just like, oh, gosh, man. Like, I don't
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: really try to not think about myself anymore.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's interesting, yeah, because if you start thinking
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: about yourself that way, I think it's almost better to
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: try and purposely not think of yourself that way. Yeah,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: for sure. Almost like, let me add in some things
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: that seem a little bit more normal. You know, I've
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: got this Cybertruck, and that has been kind of a
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: nightmare because it's fun to drive, but it's just too
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: much attention, you know?
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: I saw it.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: And then I'll be hiding in it, and I'll just...
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: Do you like it, though? It's fun. Yeah? Yeah. But
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: it's quiet, too. It's like pixelated. It looks pixelated. Yeah,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: it feels like you just travel. Literally, it feels like
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: you'll press the gas and you'll wake up in damn August, dude. Yeah,
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: you're gone.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 3: And it's like instant torque in those things, too.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: You are into the future.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: You could go zero to 60 in like two seconds
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: in that thing.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: In half a yawn, brother, you'd be over there. Damn,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: get you there quick, bro.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: I got electric Polaris, dude, and it's the same thing.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: It cooks, huh? Absolutely crushes it. But it doesn't smell
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: like gas, dude. My car used to have loose gas
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: in it. I remember when I was in high school. Yeah.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: My second vehicle, it was a Ford Jimmy. GMC Jimmy. Yeah,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: GMC Jimmy. GMC Jimmy. Actually, I think it was a
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: GMC Ford Jimmy. It was a- Kind of two cars
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: mixed together. It was a merger. Yeah. Of a vehicle.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: Welded together vehicle. It was previously owned. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: Previously totaled.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: You know? Do you, are there parts of you that like,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: because once you get to a certain level of just
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: being known, you can't, there's, you can never kind of
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: go back to some of those just like, it's weird
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: in life. Sometimes it feels like you'll be able to
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: go back and you can't. Right. You can't get back like,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: Just how you felt at the time. Sure, sure. You know. Yeah,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: and it's like. I guess it's just life.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: Do you ever feel like, and I don't know much
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: about the world of comedy other than just being a
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: fan of it. But like, is you ever get sometimes
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: where you're like, man, you kind of like saw how
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: the sausage was made a little bit. And you're just like, man,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: like you saw behind the curtain a little bit. You
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying? Like, you've heard that.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: Seeing behind the curtain? Seeing how the sausage is made?
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying, dude.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: I do not, brother. Yeah, you do, dude. Yeah, you do.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: You've heard that. Do you mean like seeing how like
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: movies and TV and music are made? Yes. Oh, 100%.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: You know, like if you saw how they made a
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: hot dog, you probably wouldn't want to eat one.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: A hot dog. You know what I'm saying? If I
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: saw how they make hot dogs, I would A, call
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: Child Protective Services. Okay.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: But it's, I feel like sometimes the entertainment business can
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: be that way.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, I agree.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 3: Where you're like, man, I, you know, it just, it
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: loses that, like.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: It loses that thing, the magic.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: Like the shine or the. Yeah. Whatever is like, you know. Oh,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: there's something wonderful about sitting at home just thinking like, man,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: what it would be like to be on this thing,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: like the voice or like a show, you know, like. Sure, sure.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: But then you don't realize if you are on that,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: like all this, just like you see all the behind
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: the working. Yeah. So it's still part of a dream,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't have the same look as if you're just, like,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: just viewing it, you know?
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you lose, you just lose a little. Well, I just, like,
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: I can't even, like, and you may be this way with, like,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: comedy and stuff, but I can't even, like, consume music
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: the way I used to. Like, I'm constantly, like, not
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: critiquing it, but I'm looking at it through a different lens.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: Through business, more lens, different things like that. Yeah, and
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man, well, this is so good because this
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: thing and that. Oh, yeah.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: And before it was just good.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: Like the song was just good or the artist was
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: just good. It wasn't like, well, this guy is really,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: he's playing this character or this girl is really great
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: at this one vocal technique thing. It's like you did any,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: almost like when you don't know why it's good, it's better.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, dude.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: And now sometimes I'm like, now I can. You read
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: the ingredients now. Right.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, it's good because this thing happened
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: or that thing happened or, you know.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, things were, yeah, everything had a little bit more
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: magic in it before you knew what was going on.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's, you'd love to be able to kind

  Speaker 3: of get that, to be able to recapture that.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: You know, and there's moments, I mean, you know, I mean, dude,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 3: it's still the best. I mean, we're still living our
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: dream in a lot of ways.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: You know, in almost every way possible I am, you know,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: so I have zero complaints really about my life, dude,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: but it's.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: Just you want, you kind of like, You can't help
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: but evolve.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: You can't recapture that.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, you just can't. Yeah, you can never kind
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: of go back to where you were.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: That time, that, like the chase, like the being excited
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: about being where you are now. Yeah. That's half the
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: fun is like trying to get there and trying to
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: figure out how to get there and doing everything it
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: takes to get there is like a lot of the
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: enjoyment of the process.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And yeah, they always say that, but you don't
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: really realize it while it's going on. Yeah, for sure.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden you realize there's, you can't,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: what you can't recapture it.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: You're like, dang. And I didn't. i wish i would
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: have bottled that up somehow this thing or done that
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: more do you think though like do you look at
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: because you've gotten to have a great trajectory just a
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: great career you just you know you've worked hard and
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: you've also been fortunate right yes very much so how
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: do does it get to be like well, what else
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: is there to shoot for? Kind of like, does that
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: kind of become a, and not like in a net,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: like a, just curious, like how do you find a
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: motivation if you're, do you feel like it could be
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: a trap? Like, Oh, I don't want to lose motivation
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: here because things have gone so well.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, man. Cause you, you know, you kind
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: of get to this place where you're like, man, I
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: feel like I've done, you know, a lot of the
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: stuff that I feel like I can do almost like
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: as far as achievements go or whatever it may be. And, um, Yeah,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: you think, you know, you have to do as much
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 3: work or more work than you've ever done to stay
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: in that place. As I said before, if you're doing
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: that amount of work, you're constantly moving towards a goal.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: Right. Right?
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: It's like if you work all this time to climb
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: Mount Everest and say it's so hard, you know, you've
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: got to cross the crevasses and do all these different
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: things to make it to the top. Well, it's like
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: once you get there, You need oxygen just to even
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: breathe while you're up there. And so it may take
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: a higher toll on your body to stay at the
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: top than it does to come back down or than
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 3: it did to even get up there. And so it
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: feels like it can have– there's somewhat of like a
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: hamster wheel feel to it. Like when you get to
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 3: the certain level because you're like, man, I'm working so
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 3: hard just to like compete against, A, the other guys
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: that are up here too– And all the other people
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: that are coming up to the top as well. Like,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: you're like, you're doing all this work to stay. Well,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 3: do I want to, do I have to continually try to,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: you know, compete with this guy and this guy? And
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: there's other people going, we're coming dude. And we're ready
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: to just, this is Sparta your ass off the top
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: of this thing. If we get the chance.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: God.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: So there's like, it's like, there's, there's always that next,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: but that's again, dude, it comes back to, to growing
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: up with your fan base and just growing yourself is
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: learning that nobody stays at the top forever. And it's
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: okay to not be at the top. It's okay to,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 3: you know, you shouldn't be scared of the fall because you,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: you can build these things in, in your life. These,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: you know, these kind of, soft places to land being
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: your family, your friends, right. Things that really matter. The
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: things that when you're 80 years old, would you rather
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: have spent more time with your kids or made another
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: album that was successful? I felt like a lot of
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: people would, would choose be with your kids or, you know,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: have gone on another trip with your wife or, you know, went,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 3: you know, fishing with your dad again, or went golfing
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: with your buddies one more time, or, go hunting with
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: your friends or whatever. Like those are the experiences that
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: ultimately will come to be.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: The defining moments of your life.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Like your career achievements. Yeah.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 3: They're really great. And you should be really proud of it.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: I'm insanely proud of everything I've done and I will
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: continue to work hard to be the best I can be.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: But I'm also not afraid of knowing that one day
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: people are going to be like, damn dude, that some
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: bitch is old, dude. You talk about washed up, dude. Like,

  Speaker 1: I remember one time buying drugs at a one-year-old's birthday.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: It was, like, one of the low points of my life.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: Did you buy it from the one-year-old? No, just an
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: associate that was there. Friend of his. Yeah. Friend of
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: the one-year-old's, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he'd fallen in with
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: a couple two-and-a-half-year-olds.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I had a couple sidemen, dude.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? One of them had taken
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: things to another level. Yeah, what else was I thinking about? Dude,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: I took a fucking– I took like a– one of
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: those like CBD gummies, something like that. My brain has
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: been rocked. Has it?
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: Dude, I took a straight-up CTE fall yesterday. Really?
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Oh, for what?
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: I'm a little scrambled, dude, today, too.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: Really? Were y'all swimming or something?
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we were pooling it, but we were in the yard,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 3: like in the grass. Like, we had one of those, like,
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 3: splash pads out.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, those are nice, huh?
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 3: The kids were out, like, splashing around in it and stuff.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 3: And I was wearing these, like, super dad, like, moccasin shoes. Like,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 3: they're just, like, leather bottom.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 3: And they, so they literally don't have tread. Like it's like,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 3: it's like walking on a, like marble on the bottom
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 3: of your feet.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I've seen those. There's always seem like you're not
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: sure what this guy's going to be like when you
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: see him.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 3: They're insanely comfortable, but it rained so much last couple
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 3: of days. So my yard is like, this is, I mean,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 3: our house is from the, probably the sixties or something.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 3: So when they built the house, like there wasn't like
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 3: the same kind of like grading, um, permitting that goes
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 3: on now. So like, The house kind of sits on
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 3: this hill, but the back, it's just a small hill,
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: but the backyard is all kind of sloped down towards
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 3: the house. And then right before they built the house,
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 3: there's just a little bit more of a slope. As
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 3: to where now they would kind of have to grade out.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: Smooth it out. And smooth it out. Back then, those
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: bitches were a little choppy.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were just like, whatever, just pop the house anywhere.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: And so I'm walking down in the moccasins. My kid
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: was in a splash pad, dude, and he was like,
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: We got him this little slide, and we put him
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 3: down there, and it scared him, and he's crying.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, you're good, dude.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 3: It's cool. I was like, do you want to see
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 3: Dada jump in the big pool? Because we have a
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 3: little pool.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, you got to do a trick for a kid.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, man.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 3: He was like, dude, cheer him up. So I go
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: down the hill, dude, and I'm in the moccasins, and just, dude,
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 3: both of my feet just go. And I'm talking about, dude,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 3: I hit the ground on my back, so the way
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 3: the hill is.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: Like the flushest you could ever hit something. Oh, wow.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: It was like my entire back hit the ground at
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 3: the same time.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: It was perfectly lined up. And just boom, and I
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: was just.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 3: Like, I mean, I just remember sitting up and I
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: just sat there and my wife and my two kids
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 3: are behind me. I can't see them. I'm just like,
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 3: and I knew I was like, this could be serious
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 3: because my wife isn't even laughing. Like she wasn't like, hi,
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: you idiot.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: Like you fell.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 3: Like it was just, I just kind of sat there
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 3: for a second and was like, And just kind of processed, like,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 3: am I, is everything fine?
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, does everything feel chill? Like, am I cool?
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 3: Like, can I get up from this? And then my
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 3: wife was just like, you okay?
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I'm good.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 3: Just kind of, yeah. But it's kind of felt like getting, like,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 3: you know, I played football in high school or whatever,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 3: so it kind of felt like getting, like, just absolutely
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: blindside blocked, like, and just rattling.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, luckily the ground was soft because it was
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 3: so wet and stuff, but.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: I had just hit flush. There's moments as an adult
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: when you hit, when you get hurt and you're like, dang.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: You're like, dude. I'm not doing good. Yeah.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: You're like, man, this is 15, 20 years from now,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 3: this would be.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: A huge issue. We would have a big problem, dude. Well,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of grandparents go missing even if there's like
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: just a slippery floor or whatever.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 3: You have to get a skid steer out on me
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 3: in a couple of years from now, dude.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: Dude, imagine somebody's opening a can of peaches to make
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: a pie or something. They spill some peach syrup onto
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: the ground. Pop Pop comes motoring through later. Oh. Okay.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: To get in here. To get him a couple saltine
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: crackers for his nap. He's got the moccasins on. He's
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: got the moccasins on, dude. Yeah, he's mocked up, dude.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: And he just slips out. And he just slips his
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: whole spine. ACL goes on the way. Both of his knees.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: And he just, oh.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's brutal, dude. I never, like yesterday, it was
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: the first moment where I was like, I'm good, but like, man,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 3: this could have been like a not good situation, dude.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, it could have been
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: not good, dude. It's risky now, dude. You don't know
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: who's what. You just don't know what's going on. Slippery
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: out there in those markets. Well, it's just, what, what
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: did I see you had done? A gender reveal? Was
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: it something I saw? Oh, I've done a few.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: Done a few. Yeah.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: Do you guys get some big requests for stuff like
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: that all the time?
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: A lot of them are just like people in the
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 3: crowd will have like signs. Like, Do this gender reveal.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, my gosh.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 3: Like, you're there. Like, they're here, like, with the envelope. Like,
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: they've waited this whole time, dude. Like, I always try
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 3: to ask, like, what is it? What, you know, was
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 3: it your first kid?
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: What do you think it is?
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 3: I think we're going to go boy.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: Justin, what do you think it's going to be? Girl. Oh,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: that girl. That guy's a pervert, huh? Come on, guy.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 3: Massey, is this you on the sticks here filming this?
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 3: I'm nervous.
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of nervous. It's like a big moment, you know?
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, for sure. If you find out if your kid
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: is going to be cool or not. Yeah, that's crazy. Oh,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: that's awesome, though, dude.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 3: What if the kid, like, hated country music, like, later
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: on in life?
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: For sure, and uses that as a thing.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 3: And that was their gender reveal? And you're like, dude,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 3: I hate that guy's music. Stinks, dude. That guy did
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: my gender reveal? That was the plan, dude? That would
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 3: be brutal.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: But, dude, look, bro. At that time, we could be
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: online doing gender reveals on Cameo for people. You know
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Like, who knows? There's no way.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 3: That's a real thing.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: People do gender reveals on Cameo all the time now.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: I saw one where they got the guy– I feel
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: like it was the lead singer of Sugar Ray to
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: break up with their girlfriend.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was wild, dude.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 3: There's some wild cameos out there.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: Dude, that's when Fly, remember that song? That song is
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: around forever, bro. Here it is, dude.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 3: Woman hires Sugar Ray for a man, dude.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: Let's see it, dude. A lot of people are just
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: coming out of the closet now. It's adults just doing
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: gender reveals. People are like, what? Go back to work.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: This is crazy.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 5: He looks like Home Alone's brother. Buzz, your girlfriend, woof.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: He looks like Buzz if Buzz got some facial reconstructive surgery,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like. Dude, but what did he do? Nothing?
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 4: It looked like they were overdubbing it. We can watch
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 4: all the way through, but the news guys.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: Were just kind of talking over it. Oh, he broke
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: up with a boyfriend?
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he broke up with a boyfriend.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. To break up with her. So a girl hires
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 3: him to break up with her boyfriend.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: That's demon level. Yeah, it's pretty demon, man. That's demon
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: stuff there. I'm trying to think of the first.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 3: I wonder if it was like his favorite band, too. Like,
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 3: was it like uber personal?
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: Sugar Ray, you mean?
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 3: Was it like, dude, my boyfriend always loved Sugar Ray,
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 3: so I'm hiring the lead singer to bring up with him. Like,
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 3: almost just to make him like hate the band or something.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 3: Like, was it really dark in that sense?
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: Like, if you love Doritos or whatever.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: And you could hire Doritos to make up with you.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: And you could hire, like, Jerry Cool Ranch or whatever
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: to break up with your girlfriend. Or you wrote it
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: out in, like, bags of Doritos. It was like, we're
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: breaking up with you.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 3: But, like, how did they decide on the lead singer,
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 3: Sugar Ray? Was it a question of affordability?
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a good question.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 3: Are you like, hey, I was going to do Hulk Hogan.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: Right, I was going to do Hulk Hogan, but... There's
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: a sale over here.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 3: There's a sale at Sugar Ray.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a sale at Sugar Ray for the next
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: 30 minutes. For the next 30 minutes.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: Breakups are half off on Mark McGrath's.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: God, that's crazy that that's even a thing now. It
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: used to just be Valentine's. Like, you sent somebody something positive.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: And now it's like, watch me ruin this lady's heart.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 3: I love how he said, off the charts, but forever
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 3: in your hearts, dude.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: That's such a great line, dude. That is a good slogan, dude.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: That guy's looking beautiful. A lot of men, sometimes they'll
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: look so beautiful, they look like women sometimes, too.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 3: He's definitely aged gracefully.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, he will be a hot chicken two or three years.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt there's a lot of people, they just
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: run that gamut. They run the full circle.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It's not over here. It's this big circle.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, it is. Yeah, they're just spinning around. Oh, definitely. Oh, definitely.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: There's a lot happening. It's beautiful.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 3: The hair is coiffed.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: It's good. The hair is good, man. So whenever you
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: start a new album, do you then have to go
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: tour it after? Is that kind of how it goes?
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 3: I think traditionally that's how a lot of folks do it.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: This album, it feels like in a lot of ways
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 3: non-traditional in the sense of like, It started out as
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 3: just kind of this, like, you know, wild idea of, like,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: I had written a couple of these dad songs that
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 3: I really liked. And I was like, man, I feel like,
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 3: you know, these three of these songs are really great.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: I love them.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 3: But I was like, but I have to, like, choose
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 3: one if I'm going to do a record. Because, like,
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 3: you can't put a record out and then it's like, oh, there's, like,
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 3: three or four dad songs.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: Like, we get it. Right. My gosh.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 3: And I was like, whoa, would it make sense to, like,
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 3: To do something that's– I don't want to say side project.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 3: That's not the right term because it is me. It
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 3: is my stuff. But like I hate the word concept
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 3: album because like it feels like that's too smart for
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 3: something that I'm capable of doing.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: Right. Like someone that makes a concept album to me
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: is like– Martians or whatever.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 3: A super like genius level musician and I'm not that
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 3: at all. But it's like a cornbread concept album.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: Okay. I like it. You know what I mean?
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 3: But it's just– I was like, well, if I made
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 3: a whole record of just these songs– You know, and
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 3: then I got– like a lot of my buddies, we're
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: all the same age. So they're having kids. So, you know,
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 3: they've got aging parents too. And so all these themes
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 3: are running through all of our lives. And so they
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: would start sending me little clips because, you know, they
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: knew I had kids or whatever. And so they'd send
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 3: me a star to something and I'd go, God, man,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 3: I really love that. I'd love to, like, get together
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 3: and work on that or whatever. And next thing you know,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 3: I end up with, you know, a whole record full
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 3: of these songs. And I was like, we should just
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 3: record these and, like, just do a project that's just–
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: So it's like it's my next record, I guess, but
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 3: it also doesn't feel like my next record, if that
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 3: makes sense. It's not like if you want to listen
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 3: to all my other records, it's not logically the next
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 3: step from where you would think that it would go.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: It's just kind of like where my life has taken me. Sonically,
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 3: it's very, like I said, we recorded it live, so
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 3: it's very traditional country sounding. Because it's all just live instrumentation.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of fiddle. There's a lot of dobro.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 3: It's very natural sounding.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: It sounds groovy. I mean, I'm willing to listen to
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: maybe six or seven songs or something.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 3: But it's definitely got its own vibe to it.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: It. Always Leaving, what's that one? Oh, yeah, All I
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: Ever Do Is Leave. Yeah. Oof, that's a hammer song, dude.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: God dang, brother. God, that song's brutal, dude. They're all
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: hard-mown eyes in my ass, dude. I definitely.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 4: There.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: I've got some problems, but yes.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 3: There's some good ones on there, man.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I think it's easier for people to leave than stay, man.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: I see that. Some people, they just know they can't
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: change themselves, and so they'd rather leave somebody and eliminate
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: themselves from the situation.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 3: Dude, that's crazy, man. Yeah, that's for sure, man. It
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 3: happens all the time, dude. It happens all the time.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: God, dude, when I... But, yeah, when I was a kid,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: country music, they had this thing called Crying, Loving, or Leaving.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: You'd call the radio station. Okay. And you'd tell them
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: if you were crying. They'd be like, are you crying, loving,
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: or leaving? And you had to tell what was happening
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: in your life.
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 3: And then they would play a song.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Dorothy Stole My Car Tires or whatever. Wow. And
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: then you'd be like, all right, well, you know, and
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: you'd be like, I'm loving. There it is, dude. It's
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: still there. Tell her this song. That was it. 107.7, Crying, Loving,
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: or Leaving. And that was it. You'd call in there,
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: and then they'd play some of them. You'd have to
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: wait and see.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: Dude, that's wild. That's a pretty cool.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: Title, though. It was pretty good, man. You'd tell them, yeah,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: this is for Tiffany. She's passed on. And they'd be like, God,
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: I'm so sad. And you and Tiffany would be sitting
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: there howling, laughing. Laughing about it.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 3: One of my favorites is the– some of my favorite
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 3: radio skits, the John Cena one, dude.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm talking about?
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 3: Where he's just– They're spamming that lady with the WWE pay-per-view.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: With the phone?
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 3: It's like a phone call.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 3: And it's some telemarketer.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 1: Play it up. It's a long play, dude. Hello? I
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: have just one question for you.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 3: Are you ready? Am I ready for what?
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: Who's this? Are you ready for this Sunday night with
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: WWE Champ Johnson? Dude, the music. And this goes on.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 3: They continue to call this woman back.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: And she stays on there.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 3: No, she hangs up a bunch of times. And they
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 3: call her back, dude. And she gets, she's like.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: We're not. No, there is not any chance in hell
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: that we're ever going to have wrestling in this house again.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 2: But thank you.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 3: Because the husband called and said, hey, my wife, we
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 3: bought this pay-per-view. And she, like our son destroyed something.
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: She got really pissed off.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: Dude, there's one they say, this spit-swapping make-out match, dude.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: It gets to the point where at.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 3: The end, they skip to like.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: Dude, she gets pissed, dude.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: She has an attitude problem. Yeah, keep y'all.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 3: She gets mad, dude. Yeah, I'd say probably this mark somewhere.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: She needs to get some vitamin D probably. It can
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: mess with her cortisol levels. There's one where.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: Hang.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: Up the phone.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 3: No, she hangs up a bunch of times and they
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 3: continue to call her back, dude.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: And then this lady has CTE, I think.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 4: Are you talking about the one where they fake being
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 4: someone else or something?
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 3: There's a point where they get... And this lady, when
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 3: she picks up, she's like, stop, call my... And this
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 3: is like, ma'am, ma'am, ma'am. She's like, I have a
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 3: quick question. Do you support our troops? She's like, oh,
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 3: my God. I'm so embarrassed. These people had been calling
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 3: me or whatever, and they were like, and she was like, yes,
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 3: I support the troops. And she was like, because an
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 3: American hero needs your help, dude.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: It's a former Marine. And she's like, really? His name's
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: John Cena. Dude, she loses her mind, dude.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 3: It's quite the troll, dude.
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 4: That's the shorter version, but it's got this weird video.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, the shorter version with one of those weird TikTok videos?
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: I know. Why do kids do that now?
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 3: Like, it's just like a video of them playing Grand
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 3: Theft Auto, but like the audio.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a video just going along with the videos.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 4: It just keeps people engaged without them having to do anything.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: Dude, that's crazy.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 3: It's like psychology level stuff.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. It's like, oh, watch this. Yeah, maybe.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 3: You're like, watch this car bounce down the road, dude. Oh,
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 3: this is it.
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: This is the one. All right, let's see it. Well,
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: this at least has the audio. So at the start.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 3: Of this one is the audio. It's like the fourth
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 3: time they call her and she's like, hey, do you
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 3: support our troops or whatever?
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: But the videos, they're mine now. I swear to Jesus,
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: this is those wrestling f * * ks again.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, good morning. Hi, I'm just calling this morning to
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 3: ask if you're a supporter of the United States military.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: Oh my God.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: I apologize.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: We've been getting calls all morning.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: I apologize and yes.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, I am.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: Are you a supporter of the Marine Corps? Yes, absolutely.
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Great, because a former decorated member of the United
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: States Marine Corps needs your support. And his name is
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: John Cena.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me right now?
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: Dude, whoever did that prank, that's an elite level. I
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: guess at least no matter what, we could always just
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: make TikToks, you know?
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because all we need is like stock video game,
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 3: like mod a video game and just do stock videos
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 3: of a car like falling out of the sky.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I've had a vision for years that it's going
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: to come down to everybody's going to be in like
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: gig economy and people are going to be like holding
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: each other at gunpoint to be each other's Uber fare.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: So to be like two Uber drivers, both of them
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: need to make money though. Yeah. She'll be like, you'll
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: be my fair. That's what it's going to come down to, dude.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 3: I always think of iRobot when they're just in the floating.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: I never saw it. No, WALL-E.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 3: Have you seen WALL-E?
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. I love WALL-E. You can watch it in Spanish, too.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: The Titanic.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 3: The space Titanic, and they're all in the chairs with
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 3: the VR headsets on, and they're.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: All like 800 pounds. I haven't seen it.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 3: And I was like, man, it's. It's a terrifying potential
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 3: reality for you.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: Do you guys use a lot of VR over at
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: the house? Dude, no. What?
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 3: Do I use a lot of VR, dude? What would
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 3: I be using?
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 3: What do you think would be happening, dude?
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: Buck hunting. This is the Wally visual here, dude. Muffin making.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what it would be for.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 3: Integrated reality muffin making is what it is.
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you could just point at the muffins and they'd
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: go into the oven. Yeah. It's just crazy. Oh, my goodness, dude.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: That would be so nuts if we had a VR,
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: like if your whole life was VR. Like Neuralink, dude. Yeah,
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: they just got the guy. You see the kid?
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, saw the guy with the Neuralink thing.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: He could play chess or whatever. But it seems like
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: you can just play shitty games that they had on
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: your cell phone like 15 years ago. That's the thing
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 1: about Neuralink that seems so trash, too.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 3: It's like just Minesweeper.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just getting there. It's just getting, you know.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just missing a lot of stuff. A guy
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: paralyzed from.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 3: Like he's playing Mario Kart.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: Playing Mario Kart using a Neuralink brain implant. Yeah, I
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: would just.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 3: That's pretty gas though.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean. You know. He could just look at
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: it and tell it what to do.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 3: It's better than like not playing Mario Kart.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 3: Because that's like the other option, I think, right? It's
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 3: like to not be playing Mario Kart.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. So that could be cool. Yeah, that's
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: a good point.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 3: You know, if you couldn't do anything, playing chess would
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 3: be cooler than, like, not doing anything, I think, is
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: the alternate version.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it seems like they just have a limited
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: amount of games and stuff. I don't know if I'd
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 1: rather Neuralink or just get a PS5 or whatever.
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 3: Or just get a VR headset. Yeah.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: VR is crazy, though, man. You can, like, there's people, like,
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: having their own, like, guys will get a VR and
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: then they'll have their own family inside of the VR world.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: even though they already have a family in their house.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 3: I feel like people have already been doing that, but
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 3: just in real life, people have been doing.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: That for some time. People have been cheating, but this
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: guy is doing it.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 3: This guy is doing an even less admirable version of
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 3: cheating in some way, dude. If you could make cheating
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 3: even less admirable, it would be that version.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this dude's not even brave enough to go out
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: there and fucking cheat and use a little gas money.
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: He's just. Yeah, he's just like cheating.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 3: He's just like, shut up, honey. I'm with the other
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 3: family right now. He's in the living room. He's like,
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 3: he's just dialed in to the house.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. He's like, my other family's naked. It'd
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: be like, what are you talking about, dude?
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 3: Somebody brought one out on the road recently and that's
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 3: maybe been last year or something, but it was like this,
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 3: we had a bunch of our crew guys popped in
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 3: on or whatever. And it was like, you would get,
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 3: so essentially you'd stand in this, you know, just any
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 3: room or whatever, I guess.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: Anywhere is anywhere.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, you could stand anywhere.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 3: So you have to like, you have the like thing
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 3: and you hit this button on like the elevator and
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 3: you get in the elevator and And then when the
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 3: door opens, you're, like, at the top of the skyscraper. Like,
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 3: when you open it, it's just the skyscraper. And there's
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 3: a wooden plank that comes out.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: And is it windy or what?
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't think so. There's no way of knowing.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 3: Unless we had a fan on. Yeah, you could turn
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 3: a fan on and get maybe the wind effect, you know. But,
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 3: do you like you so physically in the vr like
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 3: you have to like step out onto the plank like
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 3: and you obviously you know you're just like in.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: A room but it looks like half.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 3: The guys like wouldn't get out of the elevator wow
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: and then we had one guy my buddy harp just
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 3: Went out to the end and he was looking down
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 3: and he was just like.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: He just jumped. No way. I was like, bro, are
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: you good? Bro, I used to be in a wheelchair.
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: I used to be in a wheelchair. That's what he's saying, dude.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 3: He straight up jumped off the end, dude. Oh, that's crazy.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: Full lunatic. If people, yeah, some people in VR are
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: totally people that they can't be in real life. Like
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: they should have said VR Amish or VR Starving. Amish Simulator.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 3: Amish Simulator.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: Amish Simulator would be so great. It's such a sick game, dude.

• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: This is fully integrated Amish. Dude, yeah, if I meet
• 1:49:37

• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: going to fuck. You got to work for it, dog.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Oh, that's awesome, man. And
• 1:49:46

• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: being Amish, dude, imagine, bro, you get to sneak off
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: all the time and try to meet a chick or something.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: Because you can't date, I don't think, until you're 30
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: or what? What's the age?
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 4: 30?

• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: Is this me in the VR thing? Oh, no.
• 1:50:26

  Speaker 1: VR people always look... They always stand like they're completely naked.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: It just.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: I do look very tensed. Yeah, you look like you're
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: going to get. I feel like they always think you're
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 1: about to get busted for a crime or something, too. Oh,
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: my God. That just scrolled 8 million.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 3: I just turned it, and it just scrolled like 8
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 3: billion pictures that you found it.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of alarming stuff on people's phones.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: This says, dating among the Amish typically begins around age 16,
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: with most Amish couples marrying between the ages of 20
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: and 22. To find a prospective date, the young adults
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: socialize at functions such as frolics. Dude. I'm in.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 3: That's going with smorgasbord, dude. Frolics.

• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: Home visits. Door to door. Where's the chicks, bro?
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 3: One of the most popular activities is the Sunday night singing, dude.

  Speaker 3: I'd be killing it at Sunday night singing.

  Speaker 1: They would be. Oh, my gosh.
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 3: Sunday night singing?

  Speaker 1: The final churn. That would be your band name. The
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: final churn, dude. Heaven's churn. Yeah. Yeah.

• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: right here? Amish 365. Sunday evening singing with the Amish.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: The buggies were lined up for an Amish singing in
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: Bell Center, Ohio. We happened to be camping, and we're
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: out enjoying an evening drive. All of a sudden, we
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: started seeing buggies coming from all directions, and we saw
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: them all pulling into a lane there.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 3: They sure looked handsome.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: A lot of men in their Sunday best, they sure
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: looked handsome. They looked.
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 3: What an interesting blog here, dude.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: They are a state of Amish youth culture, Sunday evening singings.
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: This is often where teenagers meet their future mates, make friends,
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: and just have some good, clean fun. Food is served, pizza.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: Future mates is, like, gross.
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 3: Sounds very, like, primal, you know?
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, future mates. What did you say, like, spouse or, like?
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: But I remember, dude, when I was growing up, we
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: grew up in a pretty small town, so it was
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: like you knew you were probably going to have to
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: marry somebody in town.
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 3: Somebody.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: And they would even tell us that in school, I remember,
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: when we were in, like, second grade. You were probably
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: going to marry somebody. Yeah, they would, like, look around
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: the classroom. There's one other classroom that has kids in it.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: You can look at some of them, but you guys
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: are— This is kind of the talent pool, you know?
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: This is it, guys. Yeah. This is kind of everything
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: we got going. And you'd be like, this is bad.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: This is definitely— This is tough, dude. I got to
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: get out of here, dude, you know? This is pretty limited.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: Do you manage your tours differently as time goes on
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: where you're like, okay, I want to do just certain
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: cities and just– or do you choose that or how
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: do you guys put that together?
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we've had– we've always had a long
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 3: strategy on how do we maximize this or that.
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: We have certain goals.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 3: Playing overseas was always a big goal for us, like
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 3: playing overseas consistently to the point where we feel like
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 3: we had really fostered a fan base that– could almost
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 3: be self-sustaining in the sense of like, you know, you
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 3: could go tour one year, you could just go tour
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 3: in Europe and then never plenty shows in the States,
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 3: you know, like so as to not burn every market.
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: Right. Right.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 3: If you go see me, you know, if I play
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 3: every summer in, you know, Tallahassee, well, it's like, if
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 3: that happens five or six years in a row, like
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 3: eventually people, everybody in that market's going to be like, well,
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 3: I've seen that dude.
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 3: So the idea is if I play, I don't know.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: Why I picked Tallahassee is such a random city.
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 3: I don't even know if we ever even played there before,
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 3: but if like, if you pick that city and we
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 3: played there, let's say I played there.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: In 2018. Right.
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 3: And then let's say, obviously that's a weird year because
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 3: COVID happens.
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: Or whatever, but it's okay. It's still a year. Yeah.
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 3: Let's say I play there in 2021. And then the
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 3: next time I'm going to play there is not till 2024.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 3: So in those three years, so much will have happened
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 3: in my career that, I could have maybe two new albums,
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 3: a bunch more hit songs, and those people in that market,
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 3: they'll have only had the opportunity to see me the
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 3: time before. So they'll go, well, now I want to
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 3: hear this song and this song and this song, and
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 3: he never comes down here, so I want to go.
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 3: I just want to be able to tour at a
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 3: high level for a long time, and I think to
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 3: do that, you have to have a really long play strategy.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 3: It can't be about well, how can I make the
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 3: most money this show this weekend and charge my fans
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 3: the most for tickets and do the most and sell
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 3: VIP things? I've never sold a meet and greet in
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 3: my life. That's a big point of revenue for a
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 3: lot of artists. And nothing against anybody that does that,
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 3: by the way. I just always felt weird about it.
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 3: The first meet and greets I ever did were $ 50,
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 3: and we donated all the money to a camp in
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 3: Georgia for children that have cancer.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah?
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 3: Ever since then, we've never even charged for a meet
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 3: and greet. All you have to do is join the
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 3: fan club. and have tickets to the show and you're
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 3: entered into a lottery to win.
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: Oh damn. That's a good way to do it. Yeah.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 3: Like, so you join the fan club and then you
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 3: just put in for whatever show you're going to and
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 3: it's completely free.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's cool.
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 3: I come in the room, like do a Q and
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 3: a thing, take pictures with everybody. Like, and I just
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 3: feel like there's so much to already like pay for.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 3: There's so like, there's t-shirts, there's beer, there's food, there's parking,
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 3: there's hotels, there's babysitters, there's tickets, there's, everything dude you're
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 3: charged at every turn yeah and the whole experience and
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 3: like i just want to meet people who came to
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 3: the show man like whether it's their first show or
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 3: their 15th show or whatever it is man like it's
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 3: just a way for me to like i just want
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 3: to say thank you to just regular folks who come
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 3: to my show man like because they are the only
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 3: reason that we have shows yeah like.
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: Oh it's crazy to think that you can't figure out
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: a way to thank them all the time it feels
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: like you can never thank them enough.
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 3: Dude and like It really is. I think about it
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 3: all the time. Sometimes I feel like the fan is
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 3: the last person.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 1: Thought about in the music business.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 3: And that, to me, is really sad.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: Well, they just started. They're finally bringing sanctions against Live Nation,
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: I think. Can you look that up?
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 3: I saw something about this recently.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: They're finally bringing sanctions against them or Ticketmat. One of them. Yeah,
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 1: I saw something.
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 3: About this on the news like two, three years ago,
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 3: but I don't know enough about it. But you're definitely right.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 3: Hula definitely just saw something about that.
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Justice Department is suing Ticketmaster and Live Nation.
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: What does that mean for concert goers?
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 3: Is it for, like, the fees or something, I think?
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: The Justice Department on Thursday accused Live Nation of engaging
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: in a slew of practices that have allowed it to
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: maintain a stronghold over the live music scene. They accused
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: it of using long-term contracts to keep venues from choosing
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 1: rival ticketers, blocking venues from using multiple ticket sellers, and
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: threatening venues that they could lose money and fans if
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: they didn't choose Ticketmaster. which in then they can jack
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: up the prices of tickets in.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 3: So they own 70% of ticketing.
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: That's wild. That's unbelievable. That's a lot, dude. How do
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: you ever let that happen? It just seems like they
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: wouldn't let that happen. Did you ever go see Widespread Panic?
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: Never did, man.
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 3: So my best friend Harp, the guy that jumped off
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 3: the end, that's his favorite band ever.
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah, he loves them, dude.
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 3: But I've never been. I've never seen them.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: I like them.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 3: Dude, they jam, though. They jam, for sure.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: Did you follow a jam band ever?
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 3: No, I never followed a jam band around.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: Damn, dude, really? Never followed around the country. God damn,
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: you're fucking lazy. I haven't lived, man.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 3: I haven't lived.
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it just seemed like you were being so lazy
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: back then. I haven't lived. was, man. Didn't you want
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: to make grilled cheeses and own a German shepherd?
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 3: I wanted to sell seashell earrings out of my van, dude.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: Dude, one time this dude was selling grilled cheeses and
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: the dog looked like it wanted out of there.
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 3: It probably never gets any grilled cheese, by the way.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was, yeah. The dog I think was running
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: on a little treadmill, even just powering the grilled cheese maker.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: Like sometimes those van guys in those, um, outside of
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: concerts are pretty wild. Is there like a big, uh, tailgate?
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: Do some artists have like a big tailgate thing that
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: that's part of their culture?
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. You know, we do, gosh, we do
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 3: a big, uh, a big tailgate on like this weekend
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 3: we have, or this year we have Friday and Saturday
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 3: shows that, so all the same cities. So, On Saturday
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 3: we have, you've heard of Whiskey Jam, I'm sure.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, it's fun.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 3: So Ward and the Whiskey Jam folks come out and
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 3: they bring up-and-coming artists out.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: We have a stage outside the stadium. And all that's free. Oh, wow.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, you really don't even have to have
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 3: a ticket to the show to come to that if
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 3: you don't want to. So on Saturdays, man, like we
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 3: really try to, we've worked hard to like build, to
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 3: like foster the culture of our shows and how we
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 3: want that experience to be for our fans. Like, I mean,
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 3: the whole weekend, like, they get discounts at certain hotels
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 3: if they're in my fan club. And, like, we work
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 3: with all these different people to make them have the
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 3: best experience that we can have, you know. And so, yeah,
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 3: the tailgating thing, dude, I mean, obviously the Chesney tailgate
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 3: culture is unbelievable.
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 3: As was, like, the Buffett stuff.
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 3: We went out, you know, but I think country has
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 3: such a great, it's just in general kind of tailgating
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 3: vibe because I think a lot of those fans, like
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 3: I think of like the college football fan base to me,
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 3: like there's so much, there's so much correlation in the,
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 3: in the country music fan base to that. And that
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 3: culture is so similar.
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: It's just fun. Right.
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 3: Like that's what it should be.
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: I think people want to have fun.
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. For sure. It's like the other night we were
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: in Miami. I was with Caleb actually.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: Your buddies with him. Yep. And, um, And we were
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: going to some club, but then we had more fun
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: in the car on the way there just listening to
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: country music. Yeah. And then we got to the club
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: and we're like, this sucks. Yeah, you're like, dude, I
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: can't imagine. So that's just trash, dude.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 3: I love Caleb, dude.
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: He's something else. He said he used to manage you, too,
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: did he? I don't think.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say that, probably.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: No? No, definitely not. He seems like someone who would
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: be lying about that. Probably. He could be. Could be known, yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: he's a special guy, man. He's one of a kind.
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 3: Dude, we were buddies back in the day, man. Like,
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 3: he was, I think I was a senior and he
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 3: was a freshman, I think. But he was like.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: And what was he like, the Rapunzel of the team, cousin?
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 3: He was like the guy, like, if eight quarterbacks got hurt.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 3: Like, as a freshman, he would, like, come in.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 1: Then he would get a notification on his phone. And
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: then he could show up to the game. He got
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: a free ticket to the game.
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 3: But I rode the pine hard, and obviously he wasn't
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 3: playing because he was a freshman or whatever.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 1: And because, yeah, he wasn't ever going to. But were
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 1: you any good at football? No, I was trash. Really? Yeah,
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: I was terrible.
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 3: I just didn't apply myself, man. I feel like I
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 3: could have been good. But, dude, I was too busy
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 3: singing all the time, dude. I mean, I was in
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 3: choir every day of high school for, I mean, every
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 3: day of public school from sixth grade to when I graduated,
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 3: I was in chorus class every day.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: And did you ever integrate or try and date women
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 1: that were on the flag team? We didn't have that.
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 3: No way. Yeah.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 1: How do you not even have a flag team when
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: you don't have like a local military or anything? Yeah.
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: You mean like ROTC? Oh, you mean like, yeah. I
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: thought you meant like. Oh, yeah. We had flag team.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: Usually there was a lot of crossover in that. You think? Oh,
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of ROTC.
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 3: So a lot of ROTC.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: Men are the children of flag team women. That can't
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: be real, dude.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 3: That can't be a real stat. I hope that's a
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 3: real stat.
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: You're telling me. You're honestly going to tell me, Luke,
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: that a lot of ROTC men aren't the children of.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 3: It's possible, I think.
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: Of flag team women.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 3: Flag team relationships.
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, flag team relationships. Okay, okay.
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's a possibility that there could be
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 3: some correlation.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 1: There, you know? I think there is.
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 3: There's a high probability.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, high probability. The new album, it comes out Friday
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 1: before Father's Day. Friday before Father's Day. Yep, yep. Fathers
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 1: and Sons.

• 2:03:02
  Speaker 1: Know well it's important too for people to take time
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: if you can to reflect on those relationships it's hard
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes you get so busy you don't even think
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 1: about what somebody means to.
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 3: You sure sure man it's it's important stuff man and
• 2:03:14

• 2:03:19
  Speaker 3: or their moms even you know what i mean like

  Speaker 3: I don't count anything out. You never know where it
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 3: could lead.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: You could be a woman.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 3: The songs mean a lot to me. I hope that
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 3: people can relate to them and listen to them and
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 3: love them as much as I do, for sure.
• 2:03:52

  Speaker 1: how we feel sometimes.
• 2:03:55

• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: do artists start thinking more about collaborations now these days?
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: Does that seem like something that goes through a phase
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: where it seems more fun or more accepted or more.
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 3: I think there's definitely phases to it. You know, I

  Speaker 1: This whole deal seems– He only had one. He might
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 1: have had two.
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 3: Seems like there's probably a lot of regulations to this

  Speaker 3: business here.
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 3: Like, just be selling– And, like, just kind of random

• 2:09:29
  Speaker 3: This is street to table, dude.
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Hey, go to my TikToks
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 1: real quick. I want to see one that I looked at.
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 1: You see this? This has been my dream for, like,
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 1: nine years. I had a big van. A couple of
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: white kids made a... Bought it for $ 100, took it
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 1: to Minnesota and back. Didn't make a sauna, just scrapped
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 1: it instead. Limousine sauna. So I had two figures. Turned
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 1: one into a sauna. Sauna. Used all my scraps from
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: a few sauna jobs I did. The chimney came out
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 1: the top of the stove inside, but I didn't want
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 1: to have an entrance. Bro, this is on fire. Unbelievable.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 1: Do an outside mouth.
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 3: Why do they have Werner's ginger ales on top, dude?
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 1: And how are these men just meeting each other in
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 1: the snow? And then they're just getting in the snow. See,
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 1: this is why I don't meet men online.
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 3: That's America, dude, right there, man.
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 1: That is.
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, what state are we going with here, dude? What's
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 3: our state, guys?
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, this. Well, you have to have snow. I'm going
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 1: to say sauna.
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, there's a license plate. What was that license plate?
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say Canada, probably. Southern Canada, Northern America.
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 1: Sauna zine, dude. Trademark.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 3: I love how you put the trademark on there.
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude.
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 3: Like someone's going to be like, man.
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 1: I got to get that sauna zine. I got to
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 1: steal that idea, dude.
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 4: I think that said New Hampshire.
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 3: New Hampshire.
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 1: There we go. Sauna zine, dude. But the wood looks extreme.
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 1: The fumes from that wood could easily kill all four
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 1: or five of those men. For you guys that can't
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 1: see at home, there's a lot of men getting into
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 1: a sauna has been created inside of a limousine. And...
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 1: That's definitely just smoke in there, dude. It is full
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 1: of hot smoke.
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 3: And why is there ginger ales on top, dude?
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 1: That's the real question. That's a beverage bar, dude. You
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 1: got to chill.
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 3: You have to have a ginger ale.
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 1: That's open bar.
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 3: Open bar on the Sanazine.
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 1: That's open bar, Luke. Luke Combs, congrats on the new album, man.

• 2:11:50
