• 1:26
  Speaker 2: you know, first breath, first memory, and then just kind
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: of go from there.
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: So my parents are hanging out in the summer of
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: nineteen ninety four and they felt an immense passionate love
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: fall across them, and then they banged. And I came
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: out in nineteen ninety five in March. But then, so
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: the most recent parts of my life that are noteworthy
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: expand on that ekspan, on that I played football at Tennessee.
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: You know, my NFL dreams got smashed because I got
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: a shoulder surgery my senior year. And it wasn't just
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: my shoulder surgery that smashed my NFL dreams. I also
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: did and play a lot, but the shoulder thing was
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: just icing on the cake. I grew up playing a
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: lot of music. My family is a big music family.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: Always to my great grandpa, he was a He played
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: banjo for June Carter back in the day when she
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: was in the Carter Sisters. And my mom and dad,
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: aunt and uncle, grandpa, grandma cousins. They all play music
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: and so it's always been a part of my life.
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: And then I went to play football because I was
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: a big, burly men, and I was like, I gotta
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: do something about this.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Played football for a little bit and then.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: Got a sorry, I love a camera social.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love a moment on the camera. Love a
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: moment on the camera, man.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: So then you know, I got played football for a
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: little bit, and you know, my life kind of switched
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: when even though I didn't play a lot, you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: you still had to practice the same amount. So when
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: you get hurt in football, you go from one hundred
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: miles an hour to zero. And during that I kind
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: of just like was like, what the heck am I doing?
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: I need to figure out something to do with my times.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: I picked up a guitar and I wrote my f
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: song when I was in college, and then I, uh,
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: you know, I had this kind of unrealistic life at Tennessee,
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: and I was grateful that I kind of realized that early.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: I was like, you know what, I'm just gonna move
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: to the middle of nowhere and just go live in
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: the real world. Because the funny thing about like Tennessee
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: you play there and then like you like me, a
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: guy was a non contributor. I go to the mall
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: and like, people know who I am when I'm at
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: the food court, you know, and that's just like not
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: a real depiction of life. And I knew that, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: I'm grateful that I had that awareness. So I just
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: moved to the middle of nowhere. I moved to Franklin, Kentucky,
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: which is like an hour and fifteen minutes north of here.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: In Nashville gambling hall, Yeah, yeah, it's right.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: They busited me, they came. Yeah.
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: I just lived across the street from this warehouse I
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: worked at for three years, and then about two years
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: into that, I was like, I don't want to do
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: this anymore. Worked another year, saved up money, and then
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: Quentin started doing music.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: No, I just cut you off. Thomas Ayes like it
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: was some like low tractor supply.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: He was the youngest in history there and he was
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: running a floor of how many people.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: It was a million square footwear house, six hundred employees.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: I was the production manager. So I was like, my
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: job was over it, but you know, yeah, my job
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: was was a fun job.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Man. It was every day.
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: I on Monday, I would get on a call with
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: a bunch of executives at a tractor supply and convinced
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: them without lying that the building wasn't on fire and
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: we weren't behind on everything, and it really it was
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: a great life lesson though. It taught me how to
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: like strategically lie to corporate people, which is a great
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: it's a great skill to have, especially.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: Not gonna help us get a sponsorship for don't do
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: that yet.
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: Actually, I uh just got a sponsorship from trying to
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: supply let's go actually do the work for whatever their
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: slogan or in the process of it. Man, So I
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: don't even know what even even means, but it's pretty cool, man.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: It's they'd have a they're very really passionate their heckquarter
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: out of Nashville and have a big presence with music
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: and love music. And I grew up going there with
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: a farm in East Tennessee and then worked there and
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: then now I play music. So it's just kind of
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: was a softball toss, you know how that came to
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: be though. I just cold emailed the CEO of tractors.
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: Fly y'all need a manager?
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: Classic, Yeah, I was just like, hey, you guys want
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: to sponsor me? I used to work there and they're like, yeah,
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: talk to the and you just emailed me back. Oh god,
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: you know they just worked.
• 5:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, were you all in charge of I'm guessing since
• 5:19
  Speaker 9: it was a warehouse, were you in charge of like
• 5:21
  Speaker 9: the shipping and receiving side to stores.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: Or yeah, so that it was a distribution center. So
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: we save your Mars pet food, you send them that
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: bag goes from the Mars pet food plant to this
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: distribution center to the store.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: It's literally so not glamorous. I worked the whole time
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: during COVID that never closed, you know, that was essential.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: Did My job became like air traffic controlling CDC regulations
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: that changed every day to five hundred employees that live.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: In south central Kentucky that do not give a ship
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: about any of that. So, like it was crazy. That
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: was fun.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: It was I love chaos, man, And it was just
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: chaos all the time. It was like, you guys, you
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: can you can go. You can take your mass off
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: outside now, but when you soon you step in the building,
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: you gotta have them on. Then then like three days later
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: it's like we gotta have masks on outside now.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: And then it was just crazy.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: Man. I was the guy that had to like take
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: this information and like train our managers on like how
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: to disseminate it between people and crazy.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: It was just nuts.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: That was like a thing I did in my life,
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: and it seems so far away, but it really was
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: like four years ago, that long ago.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: So I feel like most people in here can relate,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: if not everyone, Like not.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: All of us played football.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Mitch played football in college's Usquehanna, but for most of us,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: it's like I feel like we started in a like
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: kind of non glorious atmosphere, whether it was like for
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: me selling windows or like just like whatever mundane job
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: you did before you maybe took a chance on being creative.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: So like we might not understand the whole like football
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: dilemma and like being recognized, you know, West Town mall
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to being here and chatter supply, but I feel like
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: we all can take a piece of like you do
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: really have to take a shot. Like I don't want
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: to turn this into some like someone dining down there,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: like shut.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Up, is everybody okay?
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: I said, I don't want this to turn into some
• 7:11
  Speaker 10: like motivational speech podcast, but I do think it's important
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: for any like aspiring creatives out there.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: To know, like it doesn't just happen, like you're not
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: gonna just wake up and be in like some dream
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: opportunity where like everything's cool and kosher. Like even today
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: when we work in this atmosphere where it's amazing, there's
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: still very much stressful days and like chaotic opportunities all
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the time. But you know, it's important, I feel like
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: to figure out like what you don't like doing before
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you figure out like what you do like doing. So
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I feel like everyone can kind of take a little
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: piece of what you're saying, like once you figure out that, like, yeah,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the warehouse is not for me, and you take a
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: risk creatively, like that's.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: What ultimately pays off.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: And we've had millions of conversations and kitchens late night
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: talking about this exact idea. But will you kind of
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: like walk us through like your process on starting your
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: music endeavors and like where you kind of stem from
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: outside out of you being already musically inclined.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, dde uh well, I think in the tune of
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: that creative thing man like that it's it's it's you know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: someone told me when I first was working, it was
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: like you can't take advice from average people if you
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: want to do something different. So as soon as I
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: kind of learned that and realize, like, if people don't
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: understand what I want to do, it's just on them.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: It's not the fact that I'm crazy. If you want
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: to do something, you can just do it. You just
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: figure out how to do it, you know. And that's
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: kind of the approach that took the whole time. And
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: I used to be a guy that was like I
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: don't want to ask him because he's going to say no.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: And now it's just like I don't even care. Le's
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: look back to that email thing. It's just you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: And I learned that, like, you know, getting into music,
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: I had this wall up that like I cared too
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: much that someone else cared about what I was doing.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: And then the most liberating thing that kind of accelerated
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: everything in my in my world was when I just
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: let go of that. And and the biggest thing, you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: the kind of the first domino that fell for me
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: to kind of you know, wave my arms in Nashville
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: and say, hey, look at me, I'm I make a music,
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: it was when I did that Tennessee song, and it's
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: a song that's so deliberately about my life. And so
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: when I was righting, I was like, this is lame
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: as hell, Like who the hell, Like, who's gonna like?
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: What is this even? But my manager, Rusty, me and
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: him wrote it together. He's he's from East Tennessee and
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: he's not a music manager. We just kind of partnered
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: up and rubbed some sticks together and made some shit happen.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: But the but yeah, he was like, that's exactly what
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: people want to hear.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: And then and then that song came out and then
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: the school wrapped their arm around it. They played into
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: the you know, on the JumboTron and stuff, and and
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: then they they came to town here to open the
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: season one day or one year against Virginia. In that
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: first day, uh, the game of the season, they played
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: it in Nissan And that was kind of the my
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: entry into this.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Music business world.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: It was just like, you have these music executives that
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: you know or either they have control and know what's
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: going on in the country music space, and all of
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: a sudden there's this huge sasquatch looking dude on the
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: jumbo tron singing a song that that hadn't heard. And
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: then and that was kind of that what got the
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: ball rolling. But you know that's that was all the
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: external stuff I think it. You know, I quit my
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: job in two thousand October twenty twenty one, and last
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: year in twenty twenty four, in March, I signed a
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: publishing deal, which is the first revenue stream.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: That I got from music. So they're.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: To go.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: They like to think the academy.
• 10:25
  Speaker 11: Like.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: The funny thing is is like every time that I
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: thought I was going to get to the point where
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: I was like, that made it. You just read you're
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: as a creative, your brain just kind of restructures towards
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: another mountain that's far away. And and I learned that, like,
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: you know, through that process, you have to be you
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: have to be comfortable and excited for doing what you're
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: doing every day. You know, Like the marathon's twenty six
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: miles and the finish line is one foot you know,
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: you have.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: To like the you have to.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Like the quote graphic.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, man, that's time war time.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: A marathon is twenty six miles and runners are crazy
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: and they don't like the finish line. They like the
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: way they feel when they're in mile nineteen, you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: And so just you know, you just got to know
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: that the process is more important, especially for a creative,
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: and it's so hard not to fall, especially in this
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: forward facing business that we're we're all in this where
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: your work is put on a pedestal immediately, you know,
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: and there's no time for editing and reactions. It's just
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: like more more stuff out there that's promotes what we
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: got to do. And you know, the way that I
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: keep sanity is that we make paper airplanes as creatives,
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: and we close our eyes on top of a mountain
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: and we chuck them. And the best creatives, as soon
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: as they chuck them, they just look right back down
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: to start making them more paper airplanes. Where they land
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: have nothing to do with who you are, who you
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: are as a creative. There's wind, there's rain, there's walls,
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: there's people, there's all these things that happen after they're
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: off out of your hands.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go, man, It's.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: All right, you get me going, man, But like I
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: just so I just got I know, man, shit, sorry,
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: I get excited, but like that's a I just kind
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: of I realized that no one was gonna tell that
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: shit to me, and I had to tell it to myself.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: And I just started working on my body of work.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: And you know, the other day I wrote my kind
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: of counted all my songs since I'd been writing, and
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: I'd written two hundred and twelve songs in the two
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: years and.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: A twelve paper airplanes.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's right, man, Guess how many of them are good?
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: Maybe twenty, maybe thirty, maybe I don't even know, Like
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: I don't even what's good even mean at this Like,
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: once you start doing that so much, it's like your
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: your brain opens up, because, like you know, as this
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: music consumer, everyone has this is this good?
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Is this bad?
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: And that's where you start at. Then you realize, oh,
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: this could be good for someone else. I get it,
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: you know, and then it kind of expands on that
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: and and through that I figured out the kind of
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: music that I like to make. And it's only just
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: through doing throwing two hundred and twelve paper airplanes that
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: you realize you figure out that I just like making
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: paper airplanes.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: You know, like it's up to it's up to the
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: people if they want to laying you know, man, Yeah, yeah,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: my bad, y'all.
• 13:14
  Speaker 12: It's so cool to like see like your ascension and
• 13:18
  Speaker 12: stuff already, even though like you've just started, and like
• 13:20
  Speaker 12: we like Jack and G introduced us to you, like
• 13:24
  Speaker 12: just as it started, like when you were first started.
• 13:26
  Speaker 12: Like I remember going to your uh, like when you
• 13:28
  Speaker 12: played an ACME and that was like, this is so sick,
• 13:31
  Speaker 12: Like I know that guy and he's out here performing
• 13:33
  Speaker 12: in front of however many people they were.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was awesome.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: That was the the fire marshalled that night at that
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: ACME thing, because.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: It was that the Virginia Tech game.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the same game.
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: I plugged in an old hard drive at home recently
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: looking for something and came across pictures from that.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: It's crazy, man, that's wild.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: That you were talking about that.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think the craziest thing with my music
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: career is I have been incredibly you know, and it's
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: probably to my own defeat and sometimes, you know, I
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: my progress is kind of like unless you're like my
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: friend and I talk about it to you, that's like
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: you wouldn't really like if you look went to my
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: instagram right now, you wouldn't really know like all the
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: things that were going on, you know, and I've kind
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: of you know, you know, at first, it was like
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: I think I was like you know, I got to
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: do something about this.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: But like, I don't know.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: I think as I kind of got more into this,
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: I realized, like, you know, I loving what I'm doing
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: right now, and I'm making progress in this business world
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: like that that's just a piece of the pie. Like
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: when't and I have songs coming out starting next month,
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: so that you know, the world changed there where you
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: know we're you're I'm gonna be inundating you with my
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: stuff on the internet. It's soon, but you know, it's
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: it's been really it's kind of been a soul searching
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: thing because I don't have these you know, there's not
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: a there's not an Instagram grid milestone thing that you
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: typically see from the you know, and from an artist.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: And I just learned that from that helped me so
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: much to know that like that's not what matters.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: I know that I started writing songs. I know that
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: I got a publishing deal, and then I know I
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: got a record deal, and I know there's people that
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: believe in me and are just straight up gambling on
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: me with zero data analytic backing, just like, hey, this
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: guy's got a good story to tell and he can
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: make music and that's what gets me up every day,
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: and not the fact that it's like did this do well?
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: Does this thing do well? And it's so easy to
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: get caught up in that. In this in a creative,
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: forward facing job, like I think.
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: To build off of that and to give you some
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: credit on top of you being incredibly talented, when you
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: walk in a room, you're immediately friends with everybody in
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: there for sure. And that is something that I've always
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: thought about you, is you have such a leg up
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: in that aspect. Is I hate using the word like
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: you're sellable, but yeah, you get in a room with
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: the right people, then it's like you know how to
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: just be yourself and then let the music put that
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: cherry on top where they're like, oh shit, like this
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: guy's not only a good guy, honest, truth to himself, funny,
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: but he can fucking ball.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And that's kind of my whole thing. Man.
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: I just want people to feel good and the way
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: that and with no because that's what makes me feel good.
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: And the medium in which that that happens is up
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: to them, Like if I can talk to them and say, hey,
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: you know, make them feel good in five seconds in
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: the room, or if they can just go home and
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: listen to a song that makes.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Them feel good like that.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: I just always say I like to I like to
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: sing with a smile, man, Like, very seldomly am I
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: singing this dejected sad you know, Like my sad songs
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: are like, man, I got my heart broke, but at
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: least I learned something. You know, there's always this redeep
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: shit at the end of it. Because that's how I
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: am as a person. Man, I'm just I was very
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: grateful to have parents that you know, we're just like
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: you can do whatever you want all the time. And
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: I mean in my all my brothers. My older brother
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: is a criminal defense litigator in Philadelphia. My little brother's
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: about to be a park ranger. So like we are
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: doing the things that they said and it's just and
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: I attribute then that's how my mom is. She doesn't
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: she doesn't know stranger man. She'll talk to the person.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: She's She's the reason why I don't use self checkout
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: at the grocery store. Like if you talk, She's like,
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: if you talk to them for five seconds, you don't
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: understand how much it's going to do for you. And
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: I was just you know, when you're when you're like
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: a rebellious kid. You're like, shut up, mom, checking, I'm
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: getting this nass energy drink, you know. But she's so right,
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: you know me. Meaningless interactions are not meaningless, you know.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: We dubbed them as that because the pace of life
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: goes too fast, and I think of I think that
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: my job on earth is to is to let people
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: know that and remind them of that with me being
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: around them or just playing stupid little fun songs.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: You know it's yeah, I've won the lottery because I've
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: figured that out. And I think that's the one thing
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: that I will tell everyone is like, just spend time
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: trying to figure it out.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Whatever it is for you. At least you can do
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: is just try, you know.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: For sure.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: Going back to like you talking about your Instagram feed
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: and all that kind of stuff, there's not really milestones.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: But there have been some Easter eggs recently that you've
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: been putting out that are awesome to see. And from
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: my understanding, they're mostly covers, yeah, but they're shot really well.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's just you and a microphone.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: And that is my favorite Thomas Edwards, because I feel
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: like that's the Thomas Edwards I knew first have those
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: been Obviously they are a lot of fun to do.
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: But when you're posting that stuff for you, are you
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: kind of like putting teasers out of like the vibe
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: you're going for or is this just something for you personally?
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I just I just oh, that's a great question
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: because this the first song that I'm dropping is it's
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: a it's a very fun drinking song and it's it's
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: I'm talking half the time in the song, you know,
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: for my sanity, you know, after I'm coming out of
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: the gates and this major record label deal with this
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: song where I'm talking half the time. Yeah, Well, the
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: lady that signed me at Warner signed Sam Hunt at Universal.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I love Sam Hunt.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: She also sung Casey most Graves.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: You are also just the kind of her ideology of
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: artist are kind of in my wheelhouse, where it's just
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: like we're country by nature, but not by the business
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: denomination of country music. And I think that's in this
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: world and we're innundated with the same things and country
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: music all the time. It's just like people ride the wave.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: And here's another analogy, man, it's a you know, in
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: this town, you can be a cruise ship or you
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: can be a little dinghy boat. You know, there's a
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: cruise ships go out in the ocean. They're massive and
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: they break through the waves and the result of that
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: is behind them there's a clear path for many many people,
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: and smaller boats can last in the waters behind a
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: big yacht or a big, huge cruise ship. It takes
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: a long time to build a yacht at the poor
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: It takes a long time to build a cruise ship.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: And sometimes when you're building it, you're like, man, I
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: just want to get out in the water, Like, look
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: at all these people. They're out there in the water
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: ten miles out. But if that big cruise ship that
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: they're behind goes to Poor ever, then they don't even
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: know what the open waters feel like. And that's everything
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: that you're doing in life. I mean, it's not even
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: just music. It's like you have to realize that everybody
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: has their cruise ship to build, and once you spend
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: time doing that and it's ready to go out to
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: the ocean, then you're gonna have you'll be successful and
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: whatever it is.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: It's a ten thousand hour thing, you know.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: And so first big purchase, yeah, yeah, dude.
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: It's yeah, first first big purchase, three hundred and sixty
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: five day cruise on Royal.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: I'll be behind you.
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, sorryer making it so like inspirational. Man, I'm also
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: not really a serious guy, but like when I get
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: a mic in my hand, I feel like I have
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: something to say to people.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Man, I can't.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: That's what it's for.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what it's for.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: This podcast is our dingy boat.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's right, Sherman.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Sherman just whispered to me. Can I ask him something?
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: So I think he wants to ask the question.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Cut me off at any time because I just run
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: my mouth.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: No, you're not running around.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: You're the guests.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: Socks, Drincken socks.
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: When you first came in, you were talking a little
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: bit about this, but uh, with the new deal, did
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: you feel like your paper airplanes were made with notebook
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: paper and now you have construction paper, and like, how
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: how does that now throwing off change the energy? I
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: guess of like your creative process.
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, man, It's what I say all the time is
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: I was creative broke for a long time. It's it's
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: it's that's when you figure out.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: If you're really creative.
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: You know, it's like if you make some it's like
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: that toy Story four when they make.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: The forky or whatever they think legend.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah dude, yeah, he goes, am I trash. There's so
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: many great existential moments of that. But uh, but I
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: think that now it's just what it is, is just
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: exactly what you're saying. It just excites me even more
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: that I like, I can go into the Warner studios
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: and just say, hey, I want to do some covers.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: I just went in there for two hours one day
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: and had two videographers in there that that was their passion.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: I mean I was talking to the guy that was
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: the videographer and and wasted thirty minutes of that. Now
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: not waste, but this is just who I am. But
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: like he's like I used to be a wildlife photographer
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: and I was like, dude, you ever seen Secret Life
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: of Walter Mittie? And he was like, was so good?
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: And uh and then we just talked about that forever
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: because it's so good. But to your to your question,
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: the uh, yes, it just inspires me more.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: The at first I sought the validation. I thought the
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: validation was gonna make the paper better, you know. But
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: really it was just the tools and the abilities that
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: it could further my ability to be creative. They got
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: me excited the fact that there's a little nice studio
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: that has a wonderful mic that I can just go
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: in there and I literally just was. I just had
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: a guitar and a piano and I was just like
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: running through songs that I could play and it's just fun,
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: you know. And then I could just leave that and
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: then a week later get a Google Drive length, like,
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: I'm so grateful for that after years of propping my
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: phone up and you know, it's filming grainy, you know
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: how it is. Man, It's just it's just inspiring now.
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: It's it just it lights another fire in the end
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: to make more music. And it's it's been awesome.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Man. Sick.
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: You're deserving of it. It's cool to see it, dude.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: I appreciate it. Man.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: I don't deserve nothing. Man, I'm just here for a
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: good time. You'll feel good, man. I think that's the
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: That's what keeps me afloat, man, that's what keeps my
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: keeps the ship.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: On the water.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, changing gears a little bit. You bring up a
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: secret life of Walter Midi obviously incredible film, and one
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: of my favorite lines that whole movie is at the
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: end when they're up in like the Pakistanian mount or something,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: he goes, are you gonna take the photo? And he goes,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: sometimes I don't. Beautiful things don't ask for attention, And
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: that just kind of fires me up. But I know this,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Garrett knows this. We're big movie guys here. Oh yeah,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: and this is this is my least favorite question of
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: all time.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: But what's your favorite movie?
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: Oh uh?
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: Jack knows this. Well, I am the biggest movie critic.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: I think we lack critics in art now because everyone
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: has a voice and everyone needs to shut up most
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: of the time.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Your phones are too cheap.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah it's right, man, and we're just yeah, I'm telling
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: you man. Like you know, in the nineties, you could
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: live in fucking Manhattan and just be a snobby movie
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: critic and have a nice little apartment and that'd be
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: your job. But the Internet came along and now we
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: devalue those opinions. Well, and I think that's just my
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: sobox about that. My favorite movie is a Soul Pixar movie.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: It's just pound for pound, man, it's then does the
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: soundtrack quite Cody?
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, quite quite Cody. I have not, Jared, have you
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: seen that movie.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: If you haven't seen that, If you're looking for something,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: go watch Yeah, dude.
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: It's uh, it's it's one of those that's in My
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: second one is probably out of that wheelhouse is Parasite, The.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: Stilled the Korean. Yeah, I won so many awards. Yeah
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: you don't.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: I don't even feel like I'm reading subtitles in it.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: Though it's shot so well, there's so much good. Like
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: the coolest thing about that movie Parasite is every part
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: that there's a person that has an economic status higher
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: than another person. They are physically higher than the other
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: person is in the shot in the movie every time.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Then you're in it.
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: Yeah, dude. Sorry, back to Seoul. I love Souls, but
• 25:05
  Speaker 11: I think they left so much meat on the bone.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, what do you mean, Like it.
• 25:09
  Speaker 11: Was just the the climax of the movie at the
• 25:13
  Speaker 11: whole point didn't feel as hot.
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: I know, but like, I don't.
• 25:17
  Speaker 11: There wasn't like, what was your favorite bar from the
• 25:19
  Speaker 11: movie that you're like, there wasn't a bar.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: It was the moment of this story about the fish
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: that's a great one.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, big Fish swims up to a little fish and says,
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: I'm looking for the ocean, and the ocean this is water.
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: But you know, I feel like in Kung Kung Fu Panda, Well, I.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: Think that's kind of the moral of the whole movie,
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: Like there isn't this that movie Soul is incredibly existentialist.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: It is it's about how existing.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: Isn't this pomp and circumstance, huge fan ferret like at
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: the end of Star Wars when the Ewoks celebrate, you know,
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: like that like that doesn't exist, you know, And I
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: think that's the whole point of Like the spark isn't
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: a thing that you get in Seoul, It's it's just
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: being aware of the life that you're living. And that
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: he goes through that the end scene of Soul when
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: he places all the objects on the piano and plays
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: that outro piano music and then it just zooms out
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: from the piano to the New York City skyscape, to
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: America to the Earth, you know, like it's just it
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: wasn't even the line that's not it wasn't a line
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: that did. It was that moment of just kind of
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: like like I just that movie fifty times.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Just go this is a movie for kids, Like what
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like.
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: It's just like this is a I would love to
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: watch it through kid's eyes.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, that's a great thing about it.
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, Like my teacher says that that line
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: before it is like we are you know, it's like
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: we are the collective energy of all that exists.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's great. Man.
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: Have you seen Mickey seventeen? No, it's the director that
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: did Parasite. It just came out, but it's an English film.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: Uh, Robert Pattinson.
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: Robert Pattins, it was really really good, and watch it's
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: it's got some deep tropes to you.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, dude, I love one. That's and that's why I
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: bring back that critic thing critics in a movie. In
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: a movie critic world, that's like healthy critics would help
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: the average list watcher or listener understand that after the
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: first watch, instead of asking a watch, someone say you
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: gotta go watch it three times? Like that's what an
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: irresponsible ask. But time is valuable.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: If someone says, if someone says you gotta go see
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: a movie and they say I saw that, I didn't
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: get it in the responses, you got to go watch
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: it again, Like either.
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: You failed your job, either the movie guy.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: Failed or you're too dumb to watch this movie, you know,
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: Like it's just you can go watch one of the
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: Marvel movies.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: So to shill in the Marvel movies, to Marvel.
• 27:52
  Speaker 12: Movies, hell to play, like Devil's Advocate. What about like
• 27:55
  Speaker 12: Inception and like Interstellar and like those movies that are
• 28:00
  Speaker 12: like they're not in the same vein as like Soul
• 28:02
  Speaker 12: and stuff like that. But those movies you have to
• 28:03
  Speaker 12: watch a couple of times, so you know what's going on.
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean I think you do, see, don't I
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: don't think. I don't think you need to, dude. Marvel
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: movies are why they are casting Robert Downey Junior in
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: the same universe for a different I'm with you on that,
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: but I mean.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: It's not a fall off, but there is a level
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: of respect.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Guardians of the Galaxy.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Guardians Galaxy is pretty good.
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: I didn't mean to take away from it.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: And this goes back to Thomas being the ultimate critic.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: I hate I hate everything.
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: Usually, yeah, I have to I have to put my
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: own opinion on it, Like I can't.
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: Like if you can't let someone else make their own
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: air like.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: In the world.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, man, I mean I'm but like if they

• 29:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I give it like a nine month buffer, And
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: if people still talk about it nine months later, then
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: I all started.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: I love that rule. I love that rule.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: Did you watch Severance?
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I watched the first season, Severnce. I liked it.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: You have watched second? Oh, you should watch the seasons.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: I've watched a lot of TV lately. Man, you've been.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: Busy back the speaking of it busy.
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you've recently had some I'm gonna take it back
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: to music, but you've recently had a couple of live shows,
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: like you did the Key West Songwriter Fest this year.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Third year. Yeah, thirdys, third year.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: I played the big stage there for like, we did
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: an acoustic except for like seven thousand dude videos.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: Looked Yeah, it looked awesome.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: We played all originals too, and that's usually like taboo
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: in that environment. But like the Key West Songwriter Fest,
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: the people that are there is it's the best fans
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: because they're there for a songwriting fest. It's not like
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: you know, they're they they're sitting there listening to the words.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: Usually people would just get drunk at festivals, you know,
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: and have a good time. But yeah, then we we
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: played Tortuga. We played Carolina Country Music Festival last week.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: It's Tortuga where you wore the Kenney Powers. No, that
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: was Carolina, okay, because it was myrtle that was perfect,
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: but it was people were screaming, screaming Kenny Powers lines
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: at me, so I had to like keep composure while
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: I was singing.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: And it rained.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: It pour rain the whole day, like, and the festival
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: is delayed. But like we just like we just like
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: sat on the stage. We're just like waiting. It's like
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: he knows, like horses in a corral for like the
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: lightning delays to stop. And people came in and we
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: started playing there and then uh, we played like thirty
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: seconds of a song. We're getting rocking, and of course
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: you know, I'm a new guy, so I'm on the
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: I'm on the B stage. And then Colt Ford is
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: across this huge park and he starts and the stage
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: guy comes on and goes.
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: We gotta stop cold Ford going on.
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: So then we just we stopped and then we just
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: waited and then we just started again. But it was
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: just funny because there's two stages and they're so far
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: away from each other because you can't hear each other. Uh.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: But then as soon as we started, I was just screaming.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: We're over here because it was such a weird day
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: because it was rained out all day.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: But yeah, we've been playing shows. Man.
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: You know, I got a band of four guys and
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: two of them are from East Tennessee and the we're
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: playing Sunday, we leave for wild Wood Country Festival in
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: New Jersey.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: Really good time.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, is that the one on the beach?
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So it's funny. I've only played festivals on the beach.
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: What are those nerves like?
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: Like, you know, you do a lot of I mean,
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: you started doing music and putting it on the internet
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: covid ish and then you know you're in the studio
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: and then you're getting in front of these large crowds
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: with a band. Are there times when you're like oh shit,
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: oh shit, or shit?
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: Are you like?
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: This is awesome?
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: It's awesome? Man like, and that's why it's the best.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: It's the icing on the cake for everything that I've
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: worked for, you know, like it's it is the it's
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: the opposite what you would think about nerves. Like I
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: get nerves sitting around here not playing music. You know,
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: Like if I'm sitting in my house and just like
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: idly sitting around, I'm like, what's going on?
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: And it's cause how I grew up. Like if there's
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: anything there's at my house right now, if my mom
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: and dad are there, someone's playing music.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: My dad's playing fiddle or dude. Like the other day,
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: like like I grew up with that.
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: Like the other day, my dad sent me this, like
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: here's your grandma singing in her band in high school,
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: and I'll send you guys a song.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: It's so beautiful. It's like sixties just like shit like that.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: So I grew up around like that, like where music
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: was just played all the time, no matter what it was.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: And I never played less music than when I came
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: here to the Nashville, you know, like I spent you know,
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: of course, that's part of it, you know, especially at
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: the beginning, is you know, taking the approach that I'm doing.
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: You know, there's a lot of ways to skin the
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: cat of music world. Like you can be you can
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: stand in a forest with an s M seven microphone
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: and seeing a bunch and be on the presidential debate
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: in two weeks or yeah, or I mean that's one
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: way to skin the cat. Or you can or you
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: can come here, you write the songs, and you network
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: with this town. That's what I love about this town
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: is there's a thousand people here that are absolutely phenomenal songwriters.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: There's songs that will never be heard that you only
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: can hear just through being in this city. And that's
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: kind of my approach to, like, you know, of being
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: here is like just I get to wake up and
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: go write songs with these people that I'd never met,
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: and you know, it's like you I never looked people up.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: But like now I'm to the point where, like I
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: walk out of there and it's like, oh, this guy
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: wrote live like you were dying.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: It's like it's you just think about all those songs, man,
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: and that's just kind of like the little race you're
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: stretching for is trying to get one of those. But yeah,
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: playing playing shows has been awesome, man. It's it's it's
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: the it's the icing on the cake.
• 34:36
  Speaker 10: Man.
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: That's kind of what I want to do is hang
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: my hat on that, because longevity and music comes from
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: playing live shows. And right now the public view of
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: what success is in music is so skewed, you know,
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: and and you know, it's people that just have routine shows.
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: People that are playing and growing a fan base and
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: showing up for the fan base and delivering their songs.
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: You know, that's the ones that and overtime grow. And
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: that's the approach that I'm taking is we don't want
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: a gas fire man, we just want to we want
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: to be one percent better man, you know, And that's
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: what we're trying to do playing great show, Dude.
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: I feel like the dream show at some point has
• 35:12
  Speaker 11: to be you bring your mom and dad up.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Oh. Absolutely.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: Also, I just put them on the record because so
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: I just recorded. Yeah, I just recorded five songs with
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: Warner and with Dave Cohen producing, and we went to
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: Blackbird Studio Studio d where one of the most legendary
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: places in music. And uh, you know, I had some
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: of the best players on there too, man. But I
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: just my parents are to have such a pure relationship
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: with music that they don't even care about anyone knowing
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: that they play music, right, And I just kind of
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: took that on myself to be like, you know what,
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: I care. So I got them to come down here,
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: and I got my mom to sing harmony background vocals
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: on one of my records. That way she can be
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: in this fancy official Warner Music database as a background singer,
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: because I mean, just giving back to the people that
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: taught me everything I knew about music. And we're gonna
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: get my dad down here to do some fiddle passes
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: on some stuff too. But but yeah, man, they're gonna
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: be up there eventually, probably way sooner than I should.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: Honestly. I mean my mom saying with me that night
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: to act me.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was cool with changing gears
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: of away.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Do you have a question of music, Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
• 36:17
  Speaker 12: You mentioned like working here in Nashville, and like obviously
• 36:21
  Speaker 12: everybody knows this is like the country music capital of whatever.
• 36:24
  Speaker 12: Like I I'm so curious, yeah, ladies, I'm so curious
• 36:31
  Speaker 12: to hear, so curious to hear, like because I follow
• 36:35
  Speaker 12: like these like a couple of people that are local
• 36:37
  Speaker 12: to hear that are just like on social media, that
• 36:38
  Speaker 12: have big social media filings, but you don't really see them,
• 36:41
  Speaker 12: Like how what that world is like as an up
• 36:44
  Speaker 12: and comer with other up and comers coming as well
• 36:46
  Speaker 12: as it like a doggy dog world? Are you like
• 36:48
  Speaker 12: I'm trying to like scratch your back, you scratch mine?
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: Kind Yeah, I think, And that's how good. And I
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: just learned through great influences that the people that last
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: in this business are good people. Like it's just like
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: that you get weeded out so quickly that the era
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: of hard to deal with rock star is over with
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: the over exposure of the internet, like it's it's all
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: about treating people right. And but no, there's no you know,
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: I think for people that are insecure in their artistry,
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: there's a lot of looking left and right and seeing
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: what's going on. But I don't really care what anyone
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: else does if they're success. If they're successful, I'm happy
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: for him. This is a hard world to be successful,
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: and there's there and also there is no finite pieces
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: of cake to be eaten. Everyone can get fed, like
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: it's it's just all about differentiating yourself and and I
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: love cheering people on man. Like a couple of my
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: close buddies, Dalton Davis and j Cass.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: You know, we all met each other. They're the dogs.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: Man and Dalton just signed a record deal too the
• 37:43

• 37:54
  Speaker 6: voices and.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: All souls soul.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: His relationship with music is like, that's if you want
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: to know it's going to take an artist a long
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: way independent of me, is just figure out why they
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: like music, and that'll just tell you how long they're
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: going to be able to play music. A lot of
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: the problem is now is we used to make talented
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: people famous in music.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: It would be it'd be a guy.
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: I mean from the back of the day, like a
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: guy come to the record label, knock on the door
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: and say, I got a bunch of tapes. You believe
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: in me, you know, come on, listen, listen to these
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: They're great. I got a vision and you know, flash forward,
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: and now we try to make famous people talented. We
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: try to get people that already have a pre existing
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: following for whatever reason, doesn't matter, and then we put
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: a square peg around a hole and put music into
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: these people's hands and then they fizzle out because their
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: relationship with music is not genuine, you know. And that's
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: but yeah, just to it's never comparison. I just like
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: cheering everybody on.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: I think there's different ways to do it in this business,
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: and everyone can have success and then whatever way they
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: want you there's got.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: To be more of that.
• 38:55
  Speaker 11: Yeah, in the music world before you. This isn't a question.
• 38:59
  Speaker 11: This is just the bust and fans out there because
• 39:01
  Speaker 11: we have a lot of the tier ones.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: I wish I.
• 39:04
  Speaker 11: Would have said it off the top. Thomas is the
• 39:06
  Speaker 11: voice on the S and P five hundred. Wit is
• 39:11
  Speaker 11: so that that's how Thomas fits into the Bust and
• 39:13
  Speaker 11: lower outside of being Jack and Garrett's longtime friends.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: But yeah, dude, it's that's crazy.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: I forgot about that.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: It was, dude. Yeah.
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: The funny thing is, dude, like it's I've been in
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: here over the years and every single it's just so
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: sick to see.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: It's just so sick to see the phases of this place.
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: Dude, Like even when I was in here like a
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: month and a half ago, like none of this renovation
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: stuff was going.
• 39:35
  Speaker 11: Like, well, dude, I think it's cool. They you also
• 39:37
  Speaker 11: a friend group. It's like a couple of years ago.

• 40:34
  Speaker 2: like you didn't play a ton, but there was a
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: there was a time when you got called.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Up to play versus Kentucky.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: I like you to just walk all the viewers through
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: exactly what happened from start to finish.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Let's say it's Friday afternoon and go this story.
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: So the biggest thing about college football that you don't
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: realize is like the people that aren't the starters or
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: like the fringe guys before the night of the game.
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: You you just kind of meet the team on Saturday
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: at the game. So like it's one of the most
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: like like Walk of Shames ever. It's like the Vall
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: walk starts and you're just like walking like did you
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: like merge into.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: The ball wall just hitting there. So yeah, it's like
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: so Friday night.
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: Before the Kentucky game, like I'm not traveling with the team,
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: and two years of my career I was a second
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: string like contributor.
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: I downplay that, like I was traveling away games like
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: if someone went hurt, was got her.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: I went in.
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: But that didn't happen off and I often just rode
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: the bus and ate the steak and went home, you know.
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: And uh it was it was a home game. We
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: played Kentucky Man and I had my ex girlfriend at
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: the time. She had a sorority form all the night before,
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: and we got absolutely plowed drunk, like thrown out, thrown
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: out of the She fell down the stairs at this place.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: She fell.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I did go she fell down the stuff.
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: But it was like it just like you know how
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: it did like the roorty like world is like so cutthroat.
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: They're like and they went to the council and they
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: were like, you have committed public intoxication.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: You would be shamed, you know, I.
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: Thought they but like it was just like the talk
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: of the sorority too. Like so that's and I was,
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: you know, if I'm an athlete, I'm a little more surefooted.
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: I probably I probably would have fallen down the stairs.
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: I was that drunk too. And then I woke up.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: You know, we're up all night, you know, got up,
• 42:23

• 42:27
  Speaker 6: at like two or three pm. So we got to
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: be at the Vall Walk at like ten thirty. So
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: I'm wake up my house and I am so hungover, dude,
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: and I'm just like a in an absolute pit. Like
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: I my I have to wear a suit for the
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: Vall Walk. It's still crumbled up in a ball in
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: my travel bag just in the corner of my room.
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: I throw it on wrinkles and all get chastised for
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: it later, and then grab a can of coat and
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: two strawberry pop tarts out of my house and then
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: just go to the go park my car. Then just
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: merge into the Vall Walk, thinking that I was just
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: gonna not play the whole day, you know, just having
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: a good time in that like few hungover state where.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: Everything is like funny. I'm like, this is hilarious, dude.
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: So then flashboard of the game, dude, Like I was
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: smoking those snacks in there, Dude, I was eating like
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: rice Crispy treats too, Like as soon as I got
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: to the thing, you know, it's just like it was
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: just it was not preparing myself. And that we start
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: beating the shit out of Kentucky and the second half
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: comes around and like the starters do one drive and
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: then out of nowhere, I hear coach Mahoney said, Domas Edwards,
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: where are you at? And I strap up and I
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: played the rest of the game. And do you know
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: who I was blocking? And you know what play? We
• 43:43
  Speaker 6: just love to run a counter And I was the
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: right guard and you guess who the opposite defensive end was,
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: Bud Dupree.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: And they're playing piste.
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: They're down, dude.
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: And the funniest thing is my roommate now, one of
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: our best friends, Jack Jones, He was playing right tackle
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: and uh, Jack's job the whole time was due to
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: a ceiling hinge, which is where you just take one
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: step down and you just open your hips up ninety
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: degrees and make sure nobody comes. You know, it's one
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: of the best roles on the line when you get
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: that job. But he every time we encounter three plays
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: in a row, and I was I was dying. And
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: the every time I get back to the huddle, if
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: Jack just made it worse.
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: Dude.
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: He was just cracking up laughing at me because he
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: knew everything. He knew what I was doing. That was
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: the funniest thing. Guys, Like, I was like boasting to
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: my teammates. I was like, yeah, I went out drug,
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: wasn't I, you know, And it's just like, but honestly,
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: I played well. I remember, I remember. I remember, like
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: in the Monday team meeting, they had like the little
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: highlights of like plays of the game. And when it's
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: a game like that, the majority of the highlights are
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: just like backup highlights, morale boosters.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: You're like, we love to see your effort here, you know.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: I had one of those on the on that dud
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: Dupree is.
• 44:59
  Speaker 11: As like games going on and y'all are starting to
• 45:01
  Speaker 11: pull away. Is it registering it all in your head?
• 45:03
  Speaker 11: You might go in or you're just fully enjoying it.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Fully enjoy because at this point I have the shoulder
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: pads on, dude, this game.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: Helmet on the pitch.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: I was civilian level, stretched to go play, like hadn't
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: warmed up since I half ass did the warm up
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: at the beginning of the game an hour and a
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: half earlier, Like no little little leg kicks on the sideline.
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: I just ran in. And then there's so many times
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: like that. Another time we played Kentucky away and uh uh,
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: like we were winning again, and then we always beat Kentucky.
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: Uh the uh, little brother, the uh.
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: We're winning by a lot, and our line coach says,
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: all right, these are the next five linemen that are
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: going in. Names five people. I'm not one of them,
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: so I'm all right, sweet, but you know, perfect freak
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: Krogerfield's nice time. It's a nice time of year, you know,
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: to smash the football. You know, see if my buddies
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: can get it done, you know. So then they're they're
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: they're in the huddle, they're about to go out on
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: the field, and then all of a sudden, I hear
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: coach Jones going do headwords and just screaming, dude, it's
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: silent in there, Like people in the crowd are like,
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: what's going on with who is?
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: Like? You must be really needed at this game. And
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: he just looks at your grids by helmet and he goes,
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: do you even want to fucking play? Do you even
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: want to play?
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: Even after the line coach, deliberately five minutes prior to that,
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: was like, here are the five people that are going in.
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: But it's just so funny, man that It's there's never
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: like that when you go in when you're winning a
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: lot in the game. It's never You're never prepared to go,
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: even if you think you are, because you're standing around
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: just looking.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: It's one of my favorite stories.
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: Just off a can of Coca Cola and two pop
• 46:42
  Speaker 7: tarts a couple.
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we're lifting the veil here on the back of
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: the bus.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah dude, Well, I guess now we're talking to some
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: snacks unless you have another football question because I want to.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: I want to start a new segment. We we did it.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: We won't the guests because we have someone next week
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: as well. Now, but Tom is, I know you're a
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: sandwich connoisseur. Oh man, I would like you to describe
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: your perfect sandwich.
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: Let's just get a really two second moment of silence
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: for how great sandwiches are.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Take that hat off.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: Also, thank you.
• 47:22
  Speaker 11: I did see your I did see your post. Yeah,
• 47:25
  Speaker 11: so feel free to talk about that.
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, man, I think sandwiches, Man, I think they're the
• 47:29
  Speaker 6: most important part of American culture, really worldwide culture.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: I think, you know.
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: I just I'm not well versed as some of the
• 47:35
  Speaker 6: worldwide sandwich impact. It's not an issue I'm willing to
• 47:39
  Speaker 6: lend my voice to, but here locally in America, I love.
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: A good sandwich.
• 47:44
  Speaker 13: Man.
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: I think they're they're situational though, Man, I think the
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: cool thing is though they're so interchangeable. Every element of
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: them can be replaced and removed. It's like a what's
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: it called. It's like a It's like a Lego set.
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: You know, that's the wrong analogy. I was looking for it.
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: But like, you know, you buy them Millennium foul and
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: Lego set, you can rearrange it and make it look
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: like something else.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: That's what a sandwich is, you know, Like.
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: If you're like, there's different ways to eat sandwiches and
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: places to eat sandwiches.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: I had.
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: I had a pub sub yesterday. I get one a week.
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: They usually get the special, but I mean, I just
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: think it's just a great especially like the the To me,
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: it's all about the experience. I love going to talk
• 48:18
  Speaker 6: to the person that's slicing open the bread. I get
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: to look at the meat selection and go, it looks
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: like you guys just cut that today.
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: Let's put that on there.
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: And then the cheat you know, all the way down
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: and in pub publics really gets that done for me,
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: you know, in the in the sandwich world. But I
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: just think there are unsung heroes.
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: I mean everything's a sandwich, the whole debate, like it's
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: it's just a deconstructed sandwich.
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: We I think.
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: They I don't like how people treat them as a
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: lunch item. I think that's slanderous for the value they provide.
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: But I mean there's I could talk forever about them.
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: I mean the the white bread sandwich on the beach,
• 48:55
  Speaker 6: you know.
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: The y'all y'all, the collective like we're hurt. Yeah, it's right.
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I know that that's a situational sandwich. But if
• 49:05
  Speaker 6: I'm in a if I'm in a bodega in New York,
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: like I'm getting a different sandwich there, man, Like there,
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: the sandwich is less about the food, and it's more
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: about glorifying the situation that you're in.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: And it's like the movie Soul.
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: It's it's it's honestly, it's it's like a paper air plane.
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: It's an art form.
• 49:26
  Speaker 10: Man.
• 49:27
  Speaker 6: I love sandwiches, man, I'll talk forever about them. I
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: go to publics once a week. Last night I went
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: to publics and the I was my heart was ripped
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: out from underneath me because they made the special a
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: rap and the specials don't need to be a rap.
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: I mean like they're the fact that it's like advertises
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: five dollars to the options.
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there used to be two specials.
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: But also they kind of go crazy with like they've

• 50:09
  Speaker 2: or a few outside of Public's.

  Speaker 6: You know, we finally formalize the placing chips of onto
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: the sandwich as a menu item.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: You know. I think that was a huge step for
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: us as people.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: What about the little hats truffle in hand?
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: I haven't. I've never been to a little hat.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: I could see little Hats being somewhere. Thomas just publicly slandered.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Oh.

  Speaker 6: I also have a huge problem with restaurants in Nashville
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: that open up two hundred person dining halls and have
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: six parking spots. Yeah, so I refused to go there.
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: I mean, like that's like part of the experience. We're
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: not in Manhattan. We open restaurants in here like it's
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: the Big Apple, you know, but like people are driving
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: to get there, you know, and if you take a
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: scooter you're gonna get hit by somebody too soon.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: We were literally had a federal like a month ago,
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: and Tom drives there and he goes, there's no fucking parking.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: I'm driving home. I did, f'm home, didn't didn't see him.
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: It is awesome. I did that same thing.
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: I'm about that dude, Like, I mean, like, what do
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: you what do you mean? There's no parking here? This
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: is I could have a hundred people, you know, there's marking,
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: just parking.
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: The the PA pay twenty dollars to.
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: Brook lives there. I parked there all the time and
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: don't have to see.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: But like that's tribal knowledge. We shouldn't have to operate like.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: That is fair.
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: What's your death row? Uh sandwich?
• 52:19
  Speaker 8: Like sandwich to save the world, you gotta make it.
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: Yes, Well, sandwiches aren't saving it.

  Speaker 7: If aliens came down and you had one sandwich to
• 52:27
  Speaker 7: say in the world quotgraphing.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: What if they could do graph What if you can

  Speaker 2: now and it's stop things be a fucking season.
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't do that because sandwiches are made for that.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: Jackar.
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: It's a bad Yeah, it's probably not what we need
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: to do here. Uh death row sandwich. I'm definitely gonna go.
• 52:49
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna get the ladies that work at the public's
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: in East Nashville. I love them so much. They're they
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: they take their job so seriously. They're they asked me
• 52:56
  Speaker 6: how I'm doing all the time. They they're heavy handed
• 52:59
  Speaker 6: on their poor ranch and mayonnaise and spicy mustard and
• 53:02
  Speaker 6: every casoning out the gourmet Dejiona's. I would get them
• 53:06
  Speaker 6: to prepare it, and I would ask them to bring
• 53:07
  Speaker 6: the little heater that they used there, because I swear
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: that one just.
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: Gets it right. And if the jail would allow.
• 53:13
  Speaker 6: These three lovely women to come in, I would go
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: with that public sandwich, just because not necessarily the sandwich,
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: it's just about the memories I had with those people
• 53:22
  Speaker 6: as they made it.
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: What it's irrelative three, I mean, I love it's kind
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: of like paper airplane.

• 53:39
  Speaker 6: bars Haad ultimate sorry, because I like the rope. I
• 53:41
  Speaker 6: like the roast beef in there too. And then I'm
• 53:42
  Speaker 6: throwing chipotle Gouda cheese. If it's if it's freshly cut,
• 53:46

• 53:52
  Speaker 6: the hold one slice up for me, please. You got
• 53:55
  Speaker 6: to notice the bend. That's how long it's been cut.
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: If it's floppy, it's good.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 53:59
  Speaker 6: Then I'm going so I'm going ultimate chipoli gouda cheese,
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: and then I'm gonna get it toasted. Actually, mayonnaisees mayonnaise,
• 54:05
  Speaker 6: a spicy mustard comes first on the sandwich. I can
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: pre toast. I used to be a hater on that,
• 54:11
  Speaker 6: but it makes a difference. Then I throw it, throw
• 54:13
  Speaker 6: it in the toaster. Then I'll go and spinach, lettuce,
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: two tomato slices, garlic pickles, French onion straws, and a
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: little dash salt, pepper and oregano, and then some deli dressing.
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: But that's you know, that's if I had to pick.

  Speaker 8: It's not really about that for me.
• 54:30
  Speaker 9: Twist my arm, God, God forbid. After all this talk,

  Speaker 4: Man, let's go, thank you, thank you, thank you. We're
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: starting with a song called Drunkenough.
• 56:01
  Speaker 6: It's it's such a fun song, dude, It's I'm talking
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: half the song. It's I kind of it reminds me
• 56:06
  Speaker 6: of like a shell. Silverstein poem just like poorly written
• 56:09
  Speaker 6: because I wrote it, you know. But uh, you know,
• 56:12
  Speaker 6: I wanted to capture something that capture my personality.
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 56:15
  Speaker 6: I think I've written a lot of songs that are,
• 56:17
  Speaker 6: you know, good songs, but it's just like, once you
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: push the ship off the shore, you want to people
• 56:21
  Speaker 6: to know what they're getting into.
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: So I wanted to make sure that I had, you.
• 56:25
  Speaker 6: Know, some some things that highlight my voice and things
• 56:27
  Speaker 6: that highlight my personality and and just and welcome people
• 56:31
  Speaker 6: to the world of Thomas that releases music because it's
• 56:34
  Speaker 6: been you know, the two year, year and a half,
• 56:37
  Speaker 6: two years since I released something, and now it's you know,
• 56:40
  Speaker 6: the funny thing, I said this the other day, I
• 56:42
  Speaker 6: was like, I'm so, I'm the most excited I've ever
• 56:44
  Speaker 6: been to release music. And I said, uh, like, you know,
• 56:47
  Speaker 6: when we released the last things, I had no clue
• 56:49
  Speaker 6: what was going on. Now I still have no clue
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: what was going on. But I'm okay with it, you know, Like,
• 56:54
  Speaker 6: and I think that's that's the only thing that's going
• 56:56
  Speaker 6: to be And that's, uh, that's kind of true for everything. Man,
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: let it fly, throw the paper airplane, man. And I
• 57:01
  Speaker 6: think That's one of the regrets that I already have
• 57:03
  Speaker 6: in my life is I should have been letting them
• 57:05
  Speaker 6: fly earlier.
• 57:06
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 57:06
  Speaker 6: I made a much paper airplanes and sat them in
• 57:09
  Speaker 6: my closet, and I realized I did't even throw them because
• 57:11
  Speaker 6: I didn't even care that much, you know, And you
• 57:14
  Speaker 6: gotta throw them. And this is where I'm starting to
• 57:16
  Speaker 6: throw them. So the Drunk Enough is just a fun
• 57:18
  Speaker 6: song about Uh, it's really about a girl.
• 57:21
  Speaker 12: Man.
• 57:21
  Speaker 6: It's a personal story, an actual story in my life.
• 57:23
  Speaker 6: But you had to listen to the song, man, It's
• 57:27
  Speaker 6: it's it's got some layers to it. Man, it's maybe
• 57:29
  Speaker 6: you have to listen to it five times.
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: Hopefully the hopefully they do listen to it.
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: I'm the king of the callback, man. I understand comedy.
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: I get it. I get it, y'all.
