• 0:52
  Speaker 3: hopefully no more.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: That's yeah, there's steps to take, but we'll talk about
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that after. We'll talk after this. Yeah, how was life
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: going for honestly? Because you you are a guy who
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: literally you don't stop right because if anyone checks out,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: social is such a window to your world. But you're
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: either on tour or writing, yeah, or you're on or
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you're writing, or you're on tour, and then obviously, you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you know, once once the plane lands, you have to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: be bad again and find time to be a husband again. Like,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: how are things going.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: It's it's good, I.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Mean, just because this year we're not as busy road wise,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: so not playing as many shows.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: And it's been.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Cool because like I'm excited to like ride again, you know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's not that I haven't always been
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: excited to write, but it's like, you know, I've just
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: feel like I'm in a good groove now and it
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: just excited to start making a new project.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: But it's it has it's still busy, you know.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I mean I feel like, as you know, as the
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: kids get older, there's more t ball, more soccer, more
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: horse riding and all this stuff.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So the personal side has gotten busier.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: But you know, fortunately we hit a year where it's
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: not as busy show wise, so it's been good riding.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I'll do my daughters eat up with it. Man, once
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: the horse do.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: You know, do we have horses? Are we like riding
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: other people's horse? Now?
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Other people realize that's coming though, right well, so luckily
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: in Nashville you can lease a horse, which I've never
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: known that this is a thing.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: His tax bracket is way different than yours. Pump the brakes, but.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: No, like I have never I've never heard of like that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: So like, uh, I have a friend that leases a horse.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: So I's all right, this is perfect. I can get
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: down with leasing a horse. Because my daughter is like, hey,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: we should you know, She's like, Dad, I want a horse.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I want a horse.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, you're six, Like you might not want
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: you you might not care about horses in three years.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: But as much as she's into him now, I think
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: we're I think we're going to be a horse fan,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: so which I'm cool with.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, would rather not buy a horse right now.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Do you have a pool at your house? No? Because
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I feel like kids are either
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I want a pool or I want a pony. There's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: not both.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: We don't have a pool.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: So they went, they went pony, they went pony.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: How How how tough can it be? Because we've obviously
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: been close with your wife as well, and she's such
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a sweetheart. How tough is it? Because I see on
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: her social media you miss out on stuff right like
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you miss out on trips you miss out on They
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: were at the beach a while back, right, Uh Is
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that tough or is it also like I have to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: do it. I have to do for them to enjoy
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: stuff like that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's funny, we were just kind of
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: talking about that.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: There's the uh and I'll probably butcher the saying, but
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: it's like, you know, striving to give your kid a
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: better life, uh, and sometimes hinder your kid being a
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: good person.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Uh. So, like that's been.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Something that I've kind of tried to look into and
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: and and being like, man, you know, yeah, that's the goal,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: is you you want to give all your kids, you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: more than what you had and and all the opportunities,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: but at the same time, your number one goal is
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to make sure you're raising good humans.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: And and that's.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Been a that's been a thing where I'm kind of like,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: all right, you know, and and and a lot of
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: that just looks like me bringing the kids out. You know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: this year, we're gonna try to have them out on
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: the road more, you know, so I don't miss out
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: on those things. And they enjoy being out, you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: they enjoy going to the shows, and you know, we
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: are a road family. So my band knows them, like
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: they're close with all my band and crew guys. Yeah,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: so it feels like a mini vacation. But yeah, it's
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: a it's a that's a fun. That's a balance that
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: you got to strike when.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I worked in Vegas, and I haven't slowed down a ton,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: but when I worked in Vegas, I was a guy
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that I respected a ton And as as I think
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: as a man and as a dad, you get unsolicited
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: advice all the time. Yeah, rarely sticks for me. I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: don't know if you feel the same, but it's like
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: everybody's got the answer. But he said something that like
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: really resonated with me, and that is, at some point,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: what you sacrifice for is what you're sacrificing, Right, So
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: if you're like trying to make money, trying to do
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: at some point it's like you're it's almost the opposite effect.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a u and.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: You know, I mean it's I've talked with artists and
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: people that I kind of mentor me on that end
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: of it where it is kind of that.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: It's just it's the balance.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Is the hardest thing because man, we are like we're
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: living a dream right now, Like we work in music,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: it's like the thing that everybody wants to come and do,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: and then when you finally land it, you're kind of like, well, dude,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: why would I not give everything I have to do this?
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: This is a dream job. So you kind of got
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: a snap out of that and be like, okay, yeah,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: dreams job, but like here's my here's number one that
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I needed to take care of. And but I'm getting
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: better at that. I am getting better at it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You were talking about things are slower than normal right
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: now for you? Do you need that to reset? And
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that because regardless of what job you have,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and this is this can be such a tricky thing
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: for you to say because you have so many fans
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, how lucky is he? How like
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: everybody's job at some point feels like a job and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you feel burnt out and you lose motivation. I feel
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that way. Tas that way almost every day, and so
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: we She's like, I love how that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: It was met with silence like okay, yeah, go ahead,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: go ahead.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: But but but it's the same for you. At some
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: point we're on the damn bus again. Okay, we got
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: five more sos this week? How do you keep it
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: so you can when you do hit the stage, when
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you do get in the studio, it's not like God,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I just got to get this over with.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think the good thing now is
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: like I have never felt that going into a show now.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: The other twenty two and a half hours, you know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: twenty three and a half hours that you're waiting for
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: that to happen, those can get grindy where you're kind
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: of like, all right, I'm missing out on this stuff,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: and then you're like, all right, hey, we're five minutes out.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: That will always be to me the mecha of touring,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: and I will never not have fun going out there
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: and performing and playing the show, because the second I
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: stop having fun, then what am I doing. I still
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: feel the same way in the writing room. It still
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: fires me up to wake up every morning and go
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: try to create something and try to write the best
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: song you've ever written. But in order to do that,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I do have to carve out the time to be
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: creative and think and you know, come up with ideas
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: for songs. You know, just be alone and and think
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: about what this next project might be, or what this
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: next song might be.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: About h So that is where.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I wish I had a little bit more time of
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: that to kind of sneak away and and luckily, you know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: we you know, can I can get away and go
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: out in the woods and hang out for a little
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: bit by myself and and kind of feed that creative vein.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's just a it's just a battle of
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: finding that time between family and work.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Uh, something that I I don't. I don't throw hold
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: things over people's head very often.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I'm getting beat up today.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Don't. And I knew she'd make a face of spy.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: You sat down here just over Oh no, probably a
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: little under a year ago, and you're like, l S
• 8:51

• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Oh A, boy, was I wrong.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: So so I'm hoping that we catch up, you know,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: before the end of summer. But in case we don't,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: how you know, you you're an elite college football mind.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Or maybe I shouldn't say.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: That after that, you know, you know it's not My
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: answer is not.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Going to change. LSU win the whole damn thing.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Undefeated SEC champions national championship. That's how like, why would
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I say anything different?

  Speaker 1: That's as a fan. Listen, I'm a Timberwolves fan. We're
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: gonna beat We're gonna beat the Spurs in six.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Games and go on and win it all.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: We're going to sweep Okay, see and then it's us
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: first the Knicks. Don't look at me like that. I'll
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: save your beer. Dude, don't play me, don't play me.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: What do you ever have to sip like a little
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: realism as a sports fan, because that's hard. It's so hard.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Last year was all right.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: So the first game we went to LSU Clemson. You know,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I'm watching the game. We we win on the road
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: at Clemson, and I was like, oh my god, dude,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: we beat club Nick, we beat this Clemson team dabbo
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: at Clemson at night and I'm just like, dude, this
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: is We're the best team in the country. This might
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: be the best college football team that ever existed. You
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: didn't say this on Pat McAfee show, did you, Because
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: you did mcafeel.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I probably did.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: I probably did, And I was like, I was like, dude,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: there's no doubt. Like we went to Clemson, took care
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: of business, and then you see Clemson the next week,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: You're like, oh, that's not a great team. And then
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: you see us a couple of weeks later, you're like,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: that's not a great team. Not that it's not a
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: great team, but like you know, nuts was hurt, like
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: we had some injuries. But like this year, you know
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: there's new blood, Kiffin's there. We're gonna score points. We
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: got a lot of guys out of the portal.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: You know, our.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Quarterback is supposed to be the real deal, and you
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: know we're gonna have athletes on defense. So there's no
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: reason for me to not be like, yeah, undefeated national champions.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Let's go until I'm proven wrong. Just like the te Wolves,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: You're gonna sweep the thunder and whinever, So we go
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: running the damn table.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Let's go for where you're at again. I've known you
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: for a long time and it's been so cool to
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: watch you and obviously, like any newer artists to now,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: you've taken lumps along the way. What has been the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: most important lesson that came from a failure? And I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: don't mean failure in the definition of like true failing,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: but like there are things that you have fallen short
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: of as an artist that you had goals? Yeah, that's
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a lump. What's been the biggest lump that you're like, Damn,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that wasn't that bad And it actually taught me something?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I mean I think there's always, you know, shows that
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: you look back on being like, you know, you wish
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: wish this show would have gone a little bit better.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I wish you would have sold a few more tickets,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: wish this single would have done a little better than
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: what it did. And I mean, I think the thing
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I've learned is to not base your success on any
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: of that stuff. So it's like, man, I'm gonna make
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: the best record I can put the best song out,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: and it doesn't matter if there's a thousand people or
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: ten thousand people out there getting everything I got for
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: an hour and a half. And I think for a
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: while I was kind of like, man, you know, rough show,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: and maybe not as many people out there as I
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: want it to be. I would let that kind of
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: get in my head and do that's just not fair
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: to the fans that are there. And I've really like
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: kind of learned, and that's through talking through other artists,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: because you know, and then then you're thinking, like, dude,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: am I the only person that thinks this way, like
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: is there only am I the only artist that goes
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: out there? And you know, wishes we could have sold
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: a couple more and call to sell out, But then
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: you're like, wait a second, there's still a lot of
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: people here that want to hear this music. Uh, And
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: you realize that, like everybody's kind of like that, and
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: and that's been something that it's humbling and and it's
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: taken a lot of pressure off me to just be like, dude,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter who's out there, man, give them, give
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: them all you got, present the best show you can.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: We talked to Thomas right now that long ago, and
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: he had the nicest things to say about you and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and and your friendship away from even just amuse, what
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: is that friendship meant to you professionally and personally?
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean a.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Lot of everything I just said came from you know, Thomas,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: and uh, you know it's just a guy that not
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: only like have I used him a lot in just
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: the music side of it to be like, hey man,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: how did you do this? Like how do you approach this?
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: And you know, how do you approach making records? How
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: do you do all that? And he helps a ton
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: on that. But man, seriously, from the from a personal side,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: to just be able to have somebody to bounce bounce
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: stuff off, to be like, hey, man, am I being
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: crazy here? Like is this like something like how do
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: you know? Should I think this way? And he knows
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: my wife and and there can be some personal things
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: where he can be like and I love the dude
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: to death enough for him to be like, yeah, dude,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: you're wrong there, Like you're you're approaching that wrong. You
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: shouldn't have done that, like uh. And to have somebody
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: that you look up to, like I look up to
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Thomas that there will kind of call me out when
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of getting in my own way, man, it
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: means a lot.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: That's so cool, man, you're on the verge of doing
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: it again. Number one songs, where do they?
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Day one?
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: When we met you, a number one song would have
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: been your whole world. That's all where you sit now
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: knowing that they're nice, right, but they don't fulfill you.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: They don't validate the fact that you are supposed to you.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: You are where you're supposed to be. So now that
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you look at that from a little bit different of
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a lens than five plus years ago, what does number
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: one mean to you?
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I mean it still means, you know, for me, I
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: think you know number ones as from a songwriter, man,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: their world changing, so like I don't think of that
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: just from myself anymore. And I think one of the
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: coolest things that changed that was my last two number
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: ones that were both outside songs. I had nothing to
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: do in the writing process of them, and both of
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: those songs were one of the writer's first number ones.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: And to be able to make that phone call to
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: kind of relive that first that singles you up. For me, man,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: that has just been one of the coolest things I've
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: been able to do. And you know, music's tough, man,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: And I still like, they still do mean a lot
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: to me. And I think it's because when I first
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: moved to town, I was a songwriter and I knew
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: that's that's all I wanted, and I just wanted one
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: because I thought if I had to think anything past that,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I'm just kind of being a jerk. So they really
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: are something that.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I'm a country radio kid man, I grew up on it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: My dad loved it, my uncle made a living off
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: of it. And there's still just as special today as
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: they were in twenty eighteen whenever we got singles you
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: up there, So it still doesn't mean a lot to me.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna rap.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I want to ask one more thing though. You brought
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: up country radio.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Country radio is such a unique.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Space because there's playlists all over the place, there's streaming,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: there's watching the videos online and whatnot. But there's something
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: special about the relationship between an artist and their song
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and it getting discovered on country radio. What is that
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: relationship and how powerful is that for you still to
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: this day?
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I still think it goes beyond even
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: the music side of it. And like the first time
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: we met it was twenty sixteen and here we are
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: ten years later and we're still a still getting to
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: be able to say our job is in music. But
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: for me, that was how I found music. You had
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: to hear it on the radio. So when it came
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: on the radio, everybody rushed to it, and it's like, hey,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: here's that dude, here's that George Strait song. I don't
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: think that'll ever I'll never lose that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: But also too, like.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Yourself, my team, so many other people in country radio,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: that it wasn't you had to believe in me, Like
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: you know, some of those early songs were like, man,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of great songs out why would we
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: give this new kid a shot?
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: You guys did.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: And I think that's something that I'll never I never
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: take that for granted. And and I'm I'm always grateful
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: for the for guys like you that that gave me
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: those early chances. And and it still means a lot
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: to see my name on those on those radio charts.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Dude, massive congrats.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Thanks brother, You're the man. Dude, thank you for loving
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the song.
