[00:00:00] Speaker A: You got right in the middle. [00:00:01] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. Hey, guys. [00:00:04] Speaker A: All right. Friends may come and friends may go, and friends may peter out, you know, but we'll stick together if you think and thin peter out or peter in. [00:00:14] Speaker C: I fucked up. [00:00:17] Speaker B: Damn. I mean, what did you do? [00:00:20] Speaker A: This was for the home team. This was for the home team. [00:00:34] Speaker C: Hey, welcome to Tailgate Beers. Ryan Austin. We're here still in Nashville. We got a lot of. A lot of friends that are coming through our Airbnb tonight. We're spending some time with our friend here. Seve. We're just hanging out. Appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to come sit down and hang out with us, dude. [00:01:09] Speaker A: Thank you all for having me. I just have to say, you have an amazing podcast voice. Like, I haven't really heard you talk much. And then you rifled that off. That was solid. [00:01:21] Speaker C: Thank you. Thank you. [00:01:22] Speaker A: That was really great. [00:01:23] Speaker C: I like to soak in, you know, so, you know, listen to conversations and soak things in. And we had a couple podcasts today, and one of them was just off the chain. I mean, I didn't even need to talk. So I saved up my voice for you tonight. [00:01:37] Speaker A: Oh, I love that. [00:01:38] Speaker B: I think for Taylor, he did an intro and then he just sat there. [00:01:40] Speaker C: Yeah. The whole time. Yeah, I had tears rolling down my face. [00:01:44] Speaker A: Well, yeah, when you got Taylor, Holder, and Lil Z, I mean, it's hard. [00:01:48] Speaker B: To get a word in. [00:01:49] Speaker A: Well, that. But also, like, those guys are hilarious. Like, I, like, since I started playing guitar with Taylor, like, Z and him, after the show, they'll, you know, smoke a little bit or something. Those are the funniest motherfuckers I've ever been around when they're high and usually I'm like, piss hammer drunk on, like, twisted teas or something. And I'll go back there. They. They, you know, have the bed and they have a pregnancy pillow that separates them, and I just lay on the pregnancy pillow and I just laughed for like an hour and a half until they pass out. And then I get up and go in my bunk, you know. [00:02:30] Speaker B: How long. How long have you been playing with Taylor? [00:02:33] Speaker A: Only, like, five or six months, I think. Tailgates. This past year was, like, my. Only, like, my third or fourth gig with them. [00:02:42] Speaker B: And how did that was. Is that a temporary thing? Is that something you're. You know, is that a permanent. Is that just because you guys are buddies or. [00:02:50] Speaker A: Well, okay. So, like, you know, I started doing music under my government name, which is Andrew Sevener, and I under that name, like, I got to do some really cool things, like the voice and all that stuff. And, like, beginning of this year, we rebranded to Sevy, which is like my childhood nickname that the only two people that call me Andrew are really like my mom and my girlfriend. Everybody else calls me Seve. And it just felt fitting. So. And I wanted to try a new musical direction and stuff. And as we were rebuilding and, you know, trying to figure out the songs and the sound and all that stuff, Taylor and me were like childhood, like, acquaintances slash friends. Like, I grew up with his, like, older brother Trevor, and me and Taylor were on like the same baseball team occasionally and stuff. And he was in Nashville and everything. And he just said, hey, do you want to come play guitar while you're doing all this? And it really kind of started because he had a couple of shows in Texas and a couple shows in Chicago, and the first time he really, like, had me open for him was at Cruson's. [00:04:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:07] Speaker A: And I just gotten out of a relation, like a long term relationship and stuff, and I was a fucking menace at that show. [00:04:15] Speaker B: Yes. [00:04:16] Speaker A: Like, I was wearing like a cutoff I heart Hot Moms T shirt. Like, I. We drank and just partied. I ended up getting slapped by like a girl because we went to a club afterwards and she said, hey, I want to go get my friend downstairs. Will you come with me? And I felt like I walked through the crowd for like two hours and I didn't want to fucking do that. And I said no. And she slapped me for it. But it is what it is. Anyways. Then after that, I started opening up for him at a couple of shows and then he was like, hey, do you want to come play guitar and just help me out? And I was just like, fuck it. Yeah. Like, I have nothing else to do right now other than write and kind of rebuild and. Yeah. And so now it's just kind of been like this symbiotic relationship of, like, you know, if he needs an opener, he has a built in one. You know, he helped me out because I don't know shit about social media. And when one of your friends is, you know, one of the largest followings on, you know, TikTok and stuff, like, it's really good tool to say, hey, how would you do this? Or what would you think? Or like, you know, and really get to learn and not to like, go in and be like, hey, will you post me? So I get a shitload of followers. You know, it's hey, teach me how to fish so that I Can fish I can eat for the rest of my life instead of just giving me one. [00:05:38] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a good example. [00:05:40] Speaker A: And, you know, we kind of feed off of each other and it's just been really, really cool. And so it started about like six months ago I started playing for him and it's been honestly a fucking blast. And I've gotten to do the tailgates and tall boys thing, which is still my favorite fucking festival that we've done so far. Like, dude, it was such a fucking blast. Everybody was so nice. Everybody was so cool. It was like a bunch of like friends got together and threw a big ass party that invited like the entire fucking state. That's what it felt like. [00:06:16] Speaker B: Oh, you guys had a great spot. We talked about on his, about you guys being on the side stage at that perfect time when the crowd is super packed, busy because everybody wants to play the main stage play. But even like Lakeview, I was telling them doing the headline of the side stage at 8 o'clock is way better than a 4 o'clock slot on the. [00:06:41] Speaker A: Yeah. Mainstage. [00:06:43] Speaker B: But yeah, you guys killed it. Had Bailey up there. [00:06:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:46] Speaker B: You know, doing her shot. And Caden, that whole jazz. Go back to cruisins. Do you remember at cruisins. And I'm trying to remember what song. But you had a song drop that night and remember it wasn't. What didn't. Wasn't on somebody else's. Yeah, wasn't there like. Wasn't there like a black savvy or. [00:07:06] Speaker A: There'S a black Sevy in Britain? [00:07:09] Speaker B: He literally goes. He goes. He goes, my song's out. It's on somebody else's page. [00:07:16] Speaker A: Yeah, it was. It was wrong sevy. It was nuts. It was our first drop. It was. Don't give me hope. [00:07:23] Speaker B: It was build up. [00:07:25] Speaker A: Dude, we were so fucking excited. [00:07:27] Speaker B: It's gonna drop tonight. We're pumped, dude. [00:07:29] Speaker A: We were excited. And like, I remember like the clock, like it hit like 11 or something and boom, it's out. We see it like right there. And he said, don't give me hope. And now we're like, fuck yeah. Like, we're all partying and like we're just jumping up and down. And then like Tanner, my tour manager, dude, he was like, why are you black? And I was like, what? And so I went through. He's actually all right. Black savvy from Britain or whatever or the UK or whatever it is. Shout out. He's got a badass song called Dog Fight and it's pretty. It's Pretty solid. Okay. [00:08:09] Speaker B: I. [00:08:10] Speaker A: He has another fan. Okay, but why is my fucking song on that shit? And so, like, Tyler, you know, he's like my A and R producer guy and stuff, he immediately gets on the phone, was like, what is happening? And they're like, yeah, we'll fix it on Tuesday when we're back in the office. And it's just like, fuck. But it happens. And, you know, like, so I am a Sevenr, and, like, all Seveners say that we have the Sevenr curse and we have to work. Essentially, the curse is we have to work, like, a million times harder than the average person to get, like, the basic shit that we want. [00:08:50] Speaker B: Tell me more about this curse. What is that? [00:08:52] Speaker A: I have no fucking clue. It's just a family thing that we keep. I keep hearing about. We don't have any luck at all. Like, the Sevenrs have no fucking luck. Like, yeah, we just have to work our asses off to get, like, kind of get the bare minimum. And. [00:09:08] Speaker B: Sucks for you. [00:09:09] Speaker A: I don't fucking mind it. I love it. [00:09:11] Speaker B: Spending your life trying to keep up with the Joneses. [00:09:13] Speaker A: You can look at it like that, or you can say, fuck the Joneses, and you can, like, steal their car. I mean, that's kind of like, the way I think of it, you know? [00:09:22] Speaker B: Don't steal my car. [00:09:23] Speaker A: I'm not gonna. Well, dude, I'm not going to steal your car, brother. I promise. But, like, it's just so, you know, it's just kind of par for the course that, you know, we rebrand. We try this, and we put a shitload of effort into content and social media and writing the songs and getting it right and making it exactly what we wanted, and it releases under a different sevy. And I just found out recently. Like, so we thought we had the problem fixed. And then, like, two days ago or three days ago, we had this song Ruin our weekend drop. And this guy commented on my TikTok video and was like, hey, I used Tidal. Why is ruin under our. I didn't know you were black. [00:10:11] Speaker B: It happened again, but under title. [00:10:12] Speaker A: It happened again, but it was just on title only. And so, like, we had to get that fixed. It was just like, who does it? [00:10:19] Speaker B: Who posts? How does that work? [00:10:21] Speaker A: It's our distribution. And it happens because, like, we. I have the same exact name with the same exact spelling as this other guy. And so it's just. It kind of happens. And I only pay attention to, like, Spotify and Apple Music, but doesn't it. [00:10:39] Speaker B: Just go under your. Like, don't you have to, like, select. It's this account. These are the accounts. [00:10:45] Speaker A: You would think so, but it's apparently not. I don't know much about it. I just drink and write it and sing it and just kind of let the team do it. And, like, I've done some research a little bit into it, and it's not my team's fault. It's just. It happens because there's a disconnect between, like, the distribution company and the music distributor people, like Spotify and Apple Music and stuff. Because the distribution company, they just say, hey, we're working with this artist named Seve. Can you put this song on there? And they're like, yeah. And then when there's like two Seve's, they just kind of guess, I guess. [00:11:25] Speaker B: Interesting. [00:11:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:27] Speaker B: So I always just figured you, like, had it, you know, you registered, like a business and account, blah, blah, blah, and then you just, like, upload the show. I have no idea how it works. [00:11:35] Speaker A: I have no idea either. But I would. It would be kind of cool if, like, we each. Each artist had, like, a barcode or something. [00:11:41] Speaker B: Right? [00:11:41] Speaker A: You know, where it was like, hey, like, this song goes under this barcode and boom. It just. You scan it or something and it goes in. That'd be really nice. Did we just invent something? [00:11:53] Speaker B: I think so. [00:11:54] Speaker A: Do you want to do that? You want to go. You want to go, like, thirdsies on it? Yeah, they're in the room. [00:12:00] Speaker C: They get any. [00:12:01] Speaker A: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. What is that Quincy's? Quincy's? Is it Quincy's? [00:12:06] Speaker B: I play your. I've told you multiple times, and I don't know if it's your. But I don't know. What is your top song? Streaming song. [00:12:13] Speaker A: Well, right now it's a song called Sunny Day. [00:12:15] Speaker B: Okay. [00:12:16] Speaker A: We rebranded and launched it in February, so it's been like nine months. And we've, like. It may not be big to a lot of other people or a lot of other artists, but it's like a huge accomplishment for me. But we got our first hundred thousand stream song, and it's Sunny Day, a song about my ex fucking my best friend Dave. Anyways. Yeah, fuck Dave and the ex. Yeah. And the X. Hope y'all are doing well. Hope you all love each other. Yeah, but so that one's our top stream song right now. And then the new one ruin our weekend. We've had more streams in, like, the past three or four days on one song than we have on any of our other ones. So that one's, like, Doing really well right now. [00:13:08] Speaker B: I fucking love Conditions. I've told you that a thousand times. [00:13:11] Speaker A: Dude, thank you. [00:13:11] Speaker B: Love that goddamn song. [00:13:13] Speaker A: That was the first song that kind of. Kind of launched like, the new idea of, like, the sound and stuff. Like, I wrote that. God, what year we are we in? 24. I wrote that November of 23. And when I was still doing country shit and. Or was it November 22nd? [00:13:34] Speaker B: No, I think it was last. It would have been last fall. Yeah, well, at least when it came out. I don't know about when you wrote it, but. [00:13:40] Speaker A: Oh, it came out. It came out this year. We've only, like. We've only. Our Spotify has only been live for, like, nine months. [00:13:49] Speaker B: Well, either way, I fucking love that song. I thought it had a great sound. [00:13:52] Speaker A: Thanks, man. [00:13:52] Speaker B: We were talking in the car. You know, I love that alternative pop that. You know, people like Knox and the band Camino. [00:13:59] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, all that. [00:14:00] Speaker B: And I just. I thought that had a great vibe to it. All of your shit has. [00:14:04] Speaker C: So going back to the other song, when you write a song, obviously you're in that moment of writing, you know, the song about your ex girlfriend and best friend, stuff like that. How does your current girlfriend. I mean, does she like listening to that? Is it awkward? Is. [00:14:20] Speaker A: Damn. [00:14:22] Speaker D: Who. [00:14:24] Speaker A: Okay, I'm gonna get in trouble for this. Anyways, she understands, but it is. It does suck. [00:14:35] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:14:35] Speaker A: I mean, if I had to hear her talk about her ex, like, husband or ex wife or ex. Not wife that have been weird. Ex husband or ex boyfriend. Yeah, it would suck. But she kind of understand. And the way that I have to describe it to her is that when I write, like, a song about something from my past, like, I don't. I take myself out of the equation and I just. I. They become two different characters in a. In a. In a story. Like, so it's like I. Like, I have old love songs that I've written, and she's like, oh, that's a song about your ex. And I'm just like, no, I had a feeling of love, and it was written in this idea of this man had this certain feeling about this other woman. And, like, I see it play out like a. Like a. Like a story or something. And with that, like, she's kind of understood it. Like, there's still, like, a couple of songs she doesn't like because of that, but. And it is awkward sometimes, but I think she's getting used to it. And plus, I'm kind of overwritten about the X stuff now, you know, and you know, plus, you know, when you. I wrote a love song for her, and so that really also helps a lot. [00:15:57] Speaker C: Absolutely. [00:15:58] Speaker A: You know, so it is awkward. It is weird. But, I mean, at the end of the day, like I said, chapter of. [00:16:09] Speaker B: Your life, you're in. [00:16:10] Speaker A: Yeah. And, you know, like, in. I hope that the music that I write about that chapter in my life helps someone who's currently in that chapter. You know, and once she kind of understood that, she. She's gotten a lot cooler with it, you know? And plus, her son loves all of my songs, and so she has to listen to him, like, multiple times a day. So, you know, she's got to be okay with it. Now, what are your. [00:16:39] Speaker B: What are your thoughts on aliens? [00:16:45] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. [00:16:46] Speaker B: All right. I just want to know what your thoughts are and if you think they had anything to do with pyramids. [00:16:53] Speaker A: Before we do that. [00:16:56] Speaker B: Cheers. [00:17:10] Speaker A: Cheers, brother. [00:17:11] Speaker B: Cheers. [00:17:13] Speaker A: Cheers. Oh, yeah, Just go ahead and bring the box. [00:17:15] Speaker B: Go ahead and shotgun one so you can, dude, you know, kind of get on that next level. [00:17:20] Speaker A: Dude. Hey, I'm down to shotgun one. Y'all want to eventually. [00:17:24] Speaker B: We. We have never shotgun to beer on Tailgate Beers. [00:17:28] Speaker C: We have not. [00:17:29] Speaker B: You could be our first. [00:17:30] Speaker A: I would love to be your. [00:17:31] Speaker B: Would pop my cherry. [00:17:32] Speaker A: I would love to pop Yalls cherry. Oh, my God. I've never done that before. So let's do it, Papa. [00:17:37] Speaker B: Cherry or shot. Going to be on a podcast. [00:17:39] Speaker A: I'll add that up to your imagination. Anyways, cheers, y'all. [00:17:43] Speaker B: All right, cheers. [00:17:44] Speaker A: And then we're going to get into this. We're going to. We're going to have some fun about aliens and pyramids. [00:17:48] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:17:49] Speaker A: All right. Thank you, sir. [00:17:54] Speaker B: Cory's head of security here at Tailgate Beers, and he was. [00:18:00] Speaker C: Last night. [00:18:01] Speaker B: He was camera manager for a second. He's been demoted. [00:18:08] Speaker A: So now my Ryan is the camera guy now. [00:18:12] Speaker B: Yep. [00:18:12] Speaker A: Hell, yeah. I love it. [00:18:14] Speaker B: So back to aliens. [00:18:15] Speaker A: What do you thought first off, before I do that, Ryan, thank you for coming and hanging out now. I don't feel right. They definitely built them. It's either that or, dude, there. I could go down so many rabbit holes with this. Like, I love this. [00:18:34] Speaker B: Okay. I was gonna ask, because not everybody goes down these rabbit holes. I go down either history rabbit holes or I definitely go down the pyramid rabbit hole a lot. [00:18:44] Speaker A: Have you heard about the ice wall, like, theory? [00:18:48] Speaker B: No. [00:18:50] Speaker A: Okay, so I think. So the. What is it the South Pole or whatever? Like, you can't, as a civilian, travel down to the South Pole at all. [00:19:01] Speaker B: Right. [00:19:01] Speaker A: Yeah, you Can Antarctica. Yeah, that thing. Is that it? Yeah, I failed geography, so it's fine. [00:19:08] Speaker B: I'm just like I was making sure. [00:19:09] Speaker A: We were all in the same Antarctica. It's like. [00:19:13] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, no, there's prohibited. [00:19:15] Speaker A: Yeah, it's prohibited. And they found like a document apparently from like a 1800s explorer that went down there and found a different universe like world thing. And it was like you go through, there's a passage through the ice and it leads to this other side. And apparently like they said something along the lines of like there's like the people that are in control of this realm are. Whenever people get too curious or whenever they think about, you know, things too much or it gets chaotic or whatever, they end that civilization and they start over. And we've done this, this realm in particular is like the Badlands. Like we've done this for countless of centuries and they've been the Peacekeepers and make sure that we never cross over. What? Yeah, it's fucking nuts. And at the very minimum if it's not true, I want there to be a movie so bad about it. [00:20:21] Speaker B: I've never heard that story, but that's pretty sick. [00:20:23] Speaker A: Dude, I went down a tick tock rabbit hole for like five hours and I just watched a shitload about that. And. But the pyramids play into that because apparently in this theory like those like in like one of the centuries like the our realms people and their realms people or something like were synonymous and like, you know, got along a little bit and they helped them. They brought their giants over and the giants built the pyramids. So technically aliens, but they're giant aliens and it's fucking nuts. It's awesome. [00:20:56] Speaker B: But just the fact that we have some of the smartest people in the world that still have never figured out how some of those stones ever even got moved, how it's built, you know, where they came from. Because some of the, some of the, you know, the stone isn't even local. [00:21:11] Speaker A: And the fact that they're like like perfectly lined with like the winter solstice or whatever it is or the summer solstice or something like they have like some significant with the stars and their spacing is perfect. Yeah. And the fact that like the same architectures found in like South America and stuff and like some of the same cave, like some of the same drawings and caves and stuff are like the same thing describing the same things in different parts of the world. [00:21:38] Speaker B: So even like cutting the stones like they have never proven how they even cut all these stones. So perfect. [00:21:43] Speaker A: Yeah. And how can you even move a fucking stone that big? We don't even have technology today that can move a stone. [00:21:51] Speaker B: That exactly their theory on like rolling it down, you know, rolling it down like lumber and across the sand like. Yeah, bullshit. [00:21:59] Speaker A: Yeah. Fucking space alien came and hover beam that shit up and dropped it. [00:22:04] Speaker B: So do you think that the government just continues to hide that portal and UFOs and all that shit? [00:22:10] Speaker A: Dude, have you ever seen like I think It's National Treasure 2. [00:22:15] Speaker B: No. [00:22:15] Speaker A: You've never seen that movie? [00:22:17] Speaker B: I mean let me get. The first one was enough in Nicolas Cage. [00:22:21] Speaker A: I was going to say you're not a Nicholas Cage fan. So have in that entire movie it. They have to get a book, a presidential book. And it's all the secrets of the world that the President gets when they get sworn into office. And that's how they find El Dorado or something. Anyways, they go in there and it's like who like assassinated Roosevelt? Which one got Lincoln? No, the other one. [00:22:50] Speaker B: Kennedy. [00:22:51] Speaker A: Kennedy. It's like all that, all the conspiracy theories that everybody talks about, it's in that book for one. I believe that book is fucking real. Okay. And I believe it knows everything about the pyramids. [00:23:03] Speaker B: Well, there's a president that's going to release that book. [00:23:05] Speaker A: It's going to be Donald J. Trump for sure. 100% if I think they, I just think they haven't given him that one. Oh, I think they're just like, we're just not going to tell this motherfucker about that book. [00:23:19] Speaker B: They're like interns, we need you to go put a fake book together. And it's just like parts of coloring books and other dumb. All like taped together. Pictures of pyramids. [00:23:28] Speaker A: Yeah, 100 just here, here's the book. Yeah. Hey, you have to decipher it yourself, you know, like it's just a bunch. [00:23:37] Speaker B: Somebody's 8 year old like put it all together with like stickies and 100%. Trump releases that to like CNN. Yeah, here's the book everybody. [00:23:45] Speaker A: Dude, but if that book is real, I want to fucking find it. [00:23:48] Speaker B: Oh, absolutely. [00:23:48] Speaker A: Like that's the only reason why I would want to become president. It's just to read that fucking book. [00:23:53] Speaker B: You're president for like two weeks. All right guys. Later. [00:23:58] Speaker A: I'm so down. If they, if it takes two weeks for me to get to that book, I will do that. [00:24:02] Speaker B: How long have you lived here in Nashville? [00:24:04] Speaker A: Like three or four years, something like that. Not very long. I haven't reached the ten year town part. [00:24:10] Speaker B: Just in three fucking years you've seen change quite a bit. [00:24:13] Speaker A: True. It's kind of sucks what aliens think. [00:24:20] Speaker B: Of Broadway because I think. [00:24:22] Speaker A: I think if an alien came to Broadway, they'd want to fuck. [00:24:26] Speaker B: No, they're on Broadway. I mean, we 100% have seen aliens on Broadway because there's some creatures down there. [00:24:33] Speaker A: Explained. [00:24:35] Speaker B: You ever walk late at night down Broadway? [00:24:37] Speaker A: I'm usually drunk by the time it's late at night on Broadway. [00:24:40] Speaker B: Broadway, it's not even worth ever even approaching Broadway, there's creatures. [00:24:46] Speaker A: Did you have an experience? Did someone probe you? [00:24:50] Speaker B: Oh, I've not been probed. [00:24:52] Speaker A: Okay, good. [00:24:53] Speaker B: I keep bringing it up though. On the way down here, I did listen to the Joe Rogan new new stand up and he talks about aliens doing butt stuff and probing people just to make them seem crazy when they come back and say they got abducted by aliens because they definitely can't share they got probed in the ass. [00:25:11] Speaker A: See, like the fact that. [00:25:16] Speaker B: To go watch it. [00:25:17] Speaker A: Well, I do, but like the fact that, like, why does the ass pique the interest of aliens all the time? [00:25:27] Speaker B: He says in his stand. He says in his stand up that it makes their story not seem as reliable because for one, they're going to be like, dude, I got abducted by these aliens. Like, they took me up in this outer space, they did all this stuff, and they're gonna be like, is that all that happened? And people are gonna be like, yep, yep, nope, that's. That's it. And they're gonna make them seem unsure of like, what really happened. At the end of the day, they got probed in the ass and had an orgasm. [00:25:56] Speaker A: I mean, I'm taking orgasm. I mean, like, I'm. I don't usually like anything up my ass, but I mean, if I. If that's what it takes for you get someone to believe me, dude, I went up in a space, these aliens took me and then they shoved something up my ass and I came like, I don't know. [00:26:15] Speaker B: If you could meet the aliens, would you? Knowing that you're going to get a probe up your ass, would you do it? [00:26:20] Speaker A: Are they hot? [00:26:21] Speaker B: I don't. I've never. You don't? [00:26:23] Speaker A: My girlfriend, okay. [00:26:24] Speaker B: No, she. She would be worried sick about you because you got abducted. [00:26:30] Speaker A: Will I remember it? [00:26:32] Speaker B: Absolutely. [00:26:32] Speaker A: Can I ask them any question and they answer it truthfully? Because that's the big kicker for me. [00:26:40] Speaker B: I don't know you. You don't know until you get up there. [00:26:43] Speaker A: I give her a go. [00:26:44] Speaker B: So there's a chance that you. There's all sorts of. [00:26:48] Speaker A: I give her a go. [00:26:50] Speaker B: I would. [00:26:51] Speaker A: I mean, I give it a shot. I mean, what's the worst that can happen? If anything. Might be able to teach him how to shotgun a beer. And then they're really nice to me and then they tell me all their cool things and all their technology. [00:27:02] Speaker B: So there's a massive upside. [00:27:04] Speaker A: Oh yeah. [00:27:05] Speaker B: The potential. 100% one in the ass. [00:27:07] Speaker A: Yeah, you gotta take it up the ass. But you know what? You could know a lot of cool. [00:27:15] Speaker B: What if they have a copy of that book? [00:27:17] Speaker A: I'm sure they wrote the book. [00:27:19] Speaker B: Very possible. [00:27:20] Speaker A: I mean, they were there in all the situations. [00:27:23] Speaker B: You don't know until you get up there. [00:27:24] Speaker A: I mean, aliens killed. Which. What's his name? The President. Kennedy. [00:27:30] Speaker B: Aliens kill Kennedy or you just get up there. They're completely fucking normal. They look like normal people. You get fucked in the ass and come back down and you're left completely empty. That's the downside. [00:27:40] Speaker A: Don't tempt me with a good time. It's all right. We'll figure it out. [00:27:43] Speaker B: Yeah. Or it's just a bunch of Z's. Little Z's. [00:27:47] Speaker A: Never I've seen with that dude's bag. And I'm out. Completely out. I wouldn't be able to walk from years. Like I'm out. [00:28:00] Speaker B: It's just a bunch of little Z's out there. That third leg just functional. So they actually walk. I mean they actually just walk like this. That thing just pops right out. [00:28:18] Speaker A: I'm good. I'm down. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. No, I'm out. If it's a bunch of little Z's, I'm. I'm out. Like you can keep your book. You can keep all the secrets. Like I'm out. I'm done. Like I. I would like to be able to have my non probed ass, you know. [00:28:38] Speaker B: So you're up with a question. [00:28:45] Speaker C: I do want to take a serious, serious turn. [00:28:47] Speaker B: I know we need to go back to serious. [00:28:49] Speaker C: Yep. Take a serious turn. Get back to serious conversation. So an argument that. That Austin and I have had for. For quite some time. And we talk about this almost daily. Are you a. So talk about in the shower. [00:29:02] Speaker A: Okay. [00:29:04] Speaker C: Do you use a washcloth? [00:29:06] Speaker A: No. [00:29:07] Speaker C: Do you use a loofah? Just your hands. [00:29:10] Speaker A: What hands, man. [00:29:11] Speaker B: Do you clean your legs? [00:29:13] Speaker A: Yeah, 100%. I even get in between the toes, man. [00:29:17] Speaker B: But all just bare hands? [00:29:18] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean like you got soap on them. [00:29:21] Speaker B: What? [00:29:21] Speaker A: What's wrong with the washcloth, that's extra laundry. I'm poor. I will say sometimes, right? [00:29:33] Speaker B: You're buy washcloth user. Like, sometimes I don't. [00:29:36] Speaker A: Hey. I will say, depends on how I want to feel. I will say when I'm at my girlfriend's house, she's got all like, the cool tools and nice soaps and shit. I'll fucking use like her face cream on my ass. Like, it's like, you know, like, she's like, I'm extra exfoliating. Okay, let's go. But like, she's got like three different types of loofahs and a fucking, like, loofah on a stick. Like, I'll use that shit when, like. [00:30:04] Speaker B: The moment this podcast comes out, all those loofahs are getting thrown away. She is like, fuck that. [00:30:11] Speaker A: No, I think her. Like, she's got like this, I don't know, like this really expensive, like, shampoo or something. And I feel bad, but I like, I'll use it for my beard because I'm bald, so I'll use it for my beard. Dude, it smells great for like seven days. But yeah, when I'm at home and, you know, here in Nashville, like, got like a thing of Dr. Squatch and I just. On the hand. [00:30:39] Speaker B: I just don't. The guys are making fun of me. Like, I'm. I'm the crazy one. There's like four of them that were all like, dude, no, we never use a new washcloth. [00:30:48] Speaker C: Every day. [00:30:48] Speaker A: Every shower, shower a new way. [00:30:51] Speaker B: What reason I'm not gonna use the old washcloth? What are you guys weird? [00:30:57] Speaker A: I'm not weird. That's weird. Do you have OCD tendencies? [00:31:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:02] Speaker A: Oh, that explains a lot. [00:31:03] Speaker B: But no, this is normal. This is what I know. [00:31:06] Speaker A: I don't think that's normal, brother. Are you gonna show me a, like a thing of your washcloth collection or something? [00:31:13] Speaker C: We call them vonda. [00:31:17] Speaker B: No, we're gonna. We're gonna see what my parents say. This is how I. [00:31:22] Speaker A: Are you calling your mom? Dude, this is fucking. It's nine o'clock at night. [00:31:25] Speaker B: She's asleep. They're partiers. They're probably out doing something weird. [00:31:28] Speaker A: Oh, my mom's out. [00:31:30] Speaker B: Yes, sir. Hey, I got a question for both of you. [00:31:33] Speaker A: We probably got an answer. [00:31:34] Speaker B: Do you live. You are live on a. You are live in Nashville on a podcast. Do you use a new washcloth every single time? No. Do you use your hands? Do you just use a bar of soap? Do you use a bar soap to clean your body or do you use a Washcloth. [00:31:54] Speaker A: Washcloth. [00:31:55] Speaker B: Do you get a new washcloth every time? No. You use an old one? Yes. After you. [00:32:03] Speaker C: How often do you. [00:32:04] Speaker B: How often do you change it out? [00:32:05] Speaker C: Fonda. [00:32:06] Speaker E: Yes, sir. [00:32:07] Speaker B: How. We're on a podcast. Yeah, we are actually in Nashville. Do you use. [00:32:13] Speaker A: Hang on a second. [00:32:15] Speaker C: He had enough of it. [00:32:20] Speaker B: All right, mom, do you use a washcloth or just the bar of soap? [00:32:26] Speaker E: Washcloth. [00:32:27] Speaker B: Do you get a new washcloth every time? [00:32:34] Speaker E: It depends. [00:32:34] Speaker B: This is even weirder than not using one or using one. So you use a dirty ass washcloth. [00:32:40] Speaker A: It's not dirty. It's got soap on it. [00:32:42] Speaker E: I just hop in a shower and just take a really fast shower because I just rinse off and if that's all I do, then I'll use it a second time. [00:32:51] Speaker B: Well, I'm being made fun of because I even use a washcloth, so. [00:32:55] Speaker E: Oh, no. I use a washcloth. Using just a bar of soap is. [00:32:58] Speaker A: Nasty, but what's the difference? [00:33:00] Speaker B: But bars. [00:33:01] Speaker E: Once you use it all over you, it's not. Then you leave it there for somebody else. [00:33:05] Speaker B: What about a washcloth that's been. [00:33:07] Speaker A: No one else is using my name. [00:33:08] Speaker E: Nobody else is going to use my washcloth as mine, but. [00:33:13] Speaker B: All right. [00:33:13] Speaker C: Is your name. [00:33:14] Speaker B: I love you. Love you both. Where are you guys at right now? [00:33:17] Speaker E: I love you, too. We're at a place called Saint City. [00:33:23] Speaker B: Sounds fun. [00:33:25] Speaker E: Yep. We miss you. [00:33:26] Speaker B: All right, love you both. [00:33:27] Speaker E: Love you. [00:33:28] Speaker B: Bye. I mean, that's weird. [00:33:31] Speaker A: Can I call my mom and see? [00:33:32] Speaker B: Yeah, let's get. Let's just get all of them on here. [00:33:35] Speaker A: Okay, cool. [00:33:36] Speaker B: I just find. Okay, here's my thought on this. I actually find it the weirdest of reusing a wet washcloth that's been sitting there in the shower. You've used it? Yeah, I find that weird. I actually find that less weird than just using going straight bare hand. [00:33:53] Speaker A: My mom might actually be sick. [00:33:56] Speaker D: Hello, Stan. [00:33:58] Speaker A: Hey, Mama. [00:33:59] Speaker D: Hey, Bever. [00:34:01] Speaker A: You're on a podcast in Nashville right now, and we have a very important question to ask you. [00:34:08] Speaker D: Oh, gosh. [00:34:09] Speaker A: When you're in the shower, do you use a washcloth? [00:34:18] Speaker D: That's a very odd question. Of course. [00:34:21] Speaker A: Do you use a new one every time you shower? [00:34:25] Speaker D: Yes. [00:34:26] Speaker B: Yes. [00:34:27] Speaker A: All right, give dad the phone. I need some sanity in this. Let's go. [00:34:32] Speaker D: Okay, hang on. There's dad. [00:34:38] Speaker A: Hello, Father. [00:34:40] Speaker B: Yes. [00:34:41] Speaker A: You're on a podcast, so don't say anything bad. Oh, man. Okay, when you shower, do you use a washcloth or do you use your hand or, like, a bar soap? Bar soap. [00:34:53] Speaker D: Most of the time. [00:34:54] Speaker A: Okay, thank you. Let's see. I needed sanity. I use your bar soap on the nether regions, but then I switched to mine. Damn it, Shane. All right, well, I love you guys. I just. It came up because he's one of the guys is using a brand new watch cloth every fucking time he showers. [00:35:20] Speaker D: Technically, that's what you're supposed to do. [00:35:23] Speaker A: Why though? [00:35:24] Speaker B: I mean, your mom is so. I love her. Your mom is so smart. [00:35:27] Speaker A: There is soap. She's a nurse and a hypochondriac. But, like, there's soap on the cloth. So it cleans it every time you use it? [00:35:37] Speaker D: No, not necessarily. Because as we shower and we use the soap in the washcloth, our dead skin cells come off on those and they may not be washed down the drain or anything else that will get in the fibers of the washcloth. [00:35:54] Speaker A: So you're saying using a bar of soap by itself is better? [00:35:57] Speaker D: No, I'm not saying that. [00:35:58] Speaker A: Why not a washcloth? [00:36:00] Speaker D: Because it's not. Because technically it doesn't scrub the dead skin cells. [00:36:05] Speaker B: It doesn't exfoliate. [00:36:07] Speaker D: Doesn't exfoliate. [00:36:08] Speaker A: You. We're men. We don't need to exfoliate. [00:36:11] Speaker B: Exfoliate you do. [00:36:12] Speaker D: Unless you want to end up with some kind of dermatitis on your skin. [00:36:17] Speaker B: You don't want dermatitis. [00:36:19] Speaker A: Okay, well, I couldn't spell dermatitis. Okay. Yes, ma'am. [00:36:24] Speaker D: If you don't, you're going to end up like your dad. Old man, greasy thing. [00:36:27] Speaker A: Damn. Just calling him out on the. I love you. Y'all have a great night. [00:36:39] Speaker B: I mean, so everybody needs to comment here. Call your moms, call your dads, call whoever, and everybody needs to let us know. I mean, do you use a washcloth or bar soap? [00:36:49] Speaker C: I still like the washing. Every time a new one, I mean, I think that's little excessive. [00:36:55] Speaker A: Okay, so how many washcloths do you own? [00:36:58] Speaker B: I scrub my dead. My dead skin. You know, I scrub my body. All the shit you got to get in between your toes, your ass. All the shit. Okay. So now it's just sitting there. Wet me. Have you ever grabbed. [00:37:09] Speaker A: Okay, well, do you crumple it up and put it in the corner or do you hang it? [00:37:13] Speaker B: No, I hang it. It dry and it'll somewhat dry, but I'll take it with the towel and I'll go throw it in the laundry. [00:37:18] Speaker C: You ever reuse a towel? [00:37:20] Speaker A: Do you know, reuse towels? [00:37:21] Speaker B: I use a new towel each time. [00:37:23] Speaker A: How many linens do you own, brother? Are you loaded and just have, like, an entire, like, walking closet of linens. I own two towels and zero washcloths, and I'm broke. Okay. Like, I have to use that for a while. [00:37:41] Speaker B: Oh, come on, dude. I don't know. It just. I never knew this was a thing. I never knew. It just. It's what I grew up knowing. [00:37:52] Speaker A: That's what you do, dude, obviously. No, because your mom and dad both don't use washcloth. Do washcloths every single time. [00:38:00] Speaker B: That blows my mind that she reuses that, but yeah. [00:38:02] Speaker A: So you didn't grow up like that knowing that? Because you had to learn with them. [00:38:07] Speaker B: When I was 10. [00:38:08] Speaker A: Well, no, but at the same time, they probably taught you, like they said. They probably didn't say, like, hey, you have to use a washcloth, a new one, and a new towel every single time. I think you're. I think you might be a little bit of a germaphobe. [00:38:20] Speaker B: Brother, not germaphobe. [00:38:21] Speaker A: I think you're a tad bit. [00:38:24] Speaker B: I check expiration dates on everything. [00:38:27] Speaker A: I know. The only thing I check is milk. [00:38:29] Speaker B: Yeah. If I come over to your house, you'll be fucking pulling shit out of your cabinets because there'll be all sorts of. [00:38:38] Speaker A: All right. I might. Might get in trouble. Do you have a little bit of the tism. It's okay. I'm just curious. My uncle's got some. [00:38:50] Speaker B: No, I wish I did. [00:38:52] Speaker A: He does that kind of stuff too. [00:38:53] Speaker B: I'd be smarter. [00:38:54] Speaker A: Dude, my uncle is a genius. [00:38:56] Speaker B: I'm hot. [00:38:57] Speaker A: He was a gunny sergeant in the marines for, like, 30 years, and he, like, builds houses by. By himself. Take it off. [00:39:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:07] Speaker A: Yeah. Magic Mike. Yeah. Dude, that's what happened at Denton this past weekend. Me, like. Me and Ryan were playing a show with the rest of the band and just. I got really hammered. I think Ryan took his off too. We just. We were walking around the bar just shirtless. [00:39:29] Speaker B: I mean, if you own it, I. [00:39:30] Speaker A: Don'T look good shirtless. [00:39:33] Speaker B: But here's the thing. If you're walking to the bar shirtless and just owning it, guaranteed, no one says to you, wait, you got a beard. You got your belly. If I walk through shirtless people, what the is this idiot doing? [00:39:49] Speaker A: I think you'd look good shirtless. I saw a little peek. [00:39:53] Speaker B: No, because I saw just enough athletic physique. The people like, what's this guy think? He's a badass. What's he gonna do? You get what I'm saying? Like, I'm on that threshold. [00:40:00] Speaker A: I get it. I get It. I mean, I. I've been told by my girlfriend and my mom, who thinks I'm very handsome, that I have an athletic chest and shoulders and arms. [00:40:17] Speaker B: No shit. [00:40:17] Speaker A: Yeah, but I look like a fat fuck from, like, here to here. [00:40:24] Speaker B: See, I'm opposite. I'm an athlete from here down. Dad bod. From here up. Pure athlete, though. From here down, my legs are just. [00:40:31] Speaker A: From where? Down my waist, waist down. And then dad bod. [00:40:35] Speaker B: Dad bod. [00:40:36] Speaker A: From here up, I'm like. I think an athlete. Like, pure athlete. Like, maybe Viking in this area. [00:40:43] Speaker B: Athlete not so much here. [00:40:45] Speaker A: Yeah, dad bod. I kind of hate my legs. I'm going to go. I'm going to go like seasoned athlete from here down. [00:40:57] Speaker B: High school. High school lineman. Legs. [00:41:00] Speaker A: Exactly. How'd you know? [00:41:01] Speaker B: Were you a lineman? [00:41:02] Speaker A: Yeah, I was an office just frozen. [00:41:06] Speaker B: Time from high school, kind of. [00:41:07] Speaker A: Well, I used to squat a shit brick house I was in. Powerlifting. Oh, yeah. I used to squat, like, you know, £600 or some shit. I was doing some crazy shit back then, and now I went and did leg day with Taylor one time. [00:41:19] Speaker B: Like two Wayne's. [00:41:24] Speaker A: Wild, but I went, did leg day. Am I the heaviest motherfucker here, you guys? [00:41:33] Speaker C: I got some weight on. [00:41:34] Speaker A: What are you, like, 260? Two? Yeah, 255. [00:41:37] Speaker B: 260. [00:41:38] Speaker A: And you're like, what, like, 200? [00:41:39] Speaker B: No, I'm 200. [00:41:41] Speaker A: Why'd you say no? I guess correctly. I said, what are you, like 200. And you said, no, I'm 200. [00:41:48] Speaker B: Oh, I thought. Because I thought you were gonna say lesser weight. [00:41:51] Speaker A: Oh, Ryan's like 160, 180. You. Yeah, I'm. I'm. Last time I weighed was, like, maybe a month ago. Granted, I did just get off of a bender, so, like, I had a lot of beer in me, but, like, I was like, 275. [00:42:12] Speaker B: 280. 275. [00:42:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:42:16] Speaker B: Damn. I mean, Wayne always says, damn, 240. [00:42:20] Speaker A: Make me feel bad while having. Come on. [00:42:23] Speaker B: I don't think. [00:42:24] Speaker A: Hey, man, like most people when I say that, like, dude, like, you carry the weight well, like, I can't even tell. Just. 275. Damn, you fat, Wayne. [00:42:34] Speaker B: Okay, the only reason I say is Wayne is 240. And he'll always make the joke. 240 is a motherfucker on the joints, okay? And he'll always say that. I mean, he'll even say his shoes aren't rated for fucking 240. And Wayne's taller than you. Oh, yeah. And I look at him as a bigger. A bigger dude. [00:42:51] Speaker A: So he must think that I'm like, Fat Albert over here, some shit. Wayne's taller than you. I think if it's fat, and then y'all, he'll get you. [00:42:58] Speaker B: You. [00:42:59] Speaker A: And it's just like, Damn, you got £80 on this. [00:43:01] Speaker B: No, I look as you wear it. Well, because I don't think of you. I. I would never guess you at 275. [00:43:08] Speaker A: Well, I think. I think it's mainly because of my dick. Just kidding. I have a quick question for you guys. Can I take a piss? [00:43:19] Speaker C: Of course. [00:43:19] Speaker A: Kite is running through me like. Like water. [00:43:22] Speaker B: This piss break is brought to you by Coors Light. [00:43:34] Speaker C: Called Moms Explicit. [00:43:43] Speaker B: Why is it so hot in here? Is it just me? I think my body's trying to process all the alcohol. [00:43:56] Speaker A: All right, I got the word dick in there, so that's like. It's another one off the bingo card. [00:44:04] Speaker B: Is that it? [00:44:05] Speaker A: Has it ever been, like, weird to. Oh, yeah. Hey, by the way, I forgot to ask. Is this supposed to be, like, PG, PG 13? [00:44:14] Speaker C: No, PG Mark. [00:44:16] Speaker B: Explicit. [00:44:16] Speaker A: So. [00:44:28] Speaker B: My daughter asked if she could. [00:44:29] Speaker A: Watch it, and I was like, maybe the Taylor Holder woman. You know. [00:44:37] Speaker B: It'S like shuffleboard. So. So if you find that weird about me using a washcloth. Super weird about. About water. [00:44:50] Speaker A: Wait, hold on. I might. I might understand you on this one. [00:44:53] Speaker B: Here's the next thing. Hotel water. I will use bottled water the bulk of the time to brush my teeth because I can't stand the chlorine smell from hotel water. [00:45:08] Speaker A: I feel you on most of that because, like, you know, like, there's different brands of, like, generic water, you know, like, you know, I used to drink from water hose, you know, like all the kids and stuff, you know? But you, like. There's different tastes of water. Like, my favorite water is core. If you all had core, it's, like, perfectly ph balanced. It's great. [00:45:35] Speaker B: Yeah, but see, I just don't. I don't want any additives. There should be. No. Nothing mentioning on. There should just be. [00:45:41] Speaker A: Well, I don't even read that. I could just. [00:45:43] Speaker B: No, it shouldn't be. It shouldn't say. I don't. Some of them say, like, ph, this. And this one has, like, additive. It just should just be water. So I was a Fiji water guy. [00:45:58] Speaker A: Hey, Fiji. I mean, it's. It's good. [00:46:00] Speaker B: I'm trying to think of the other one. I think it's like, glacier. [00:46:03] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:46:03] Speaker B: I love glacier, dude. [00:46:04] Speaker A: When I was. [00:46:05] Speaker B: I just want it from the mountain. I Want it? Fresh water. [00:46:07] Speaker A: When I was a kid and I get a lot of for this, but when I was a kid, I love some deja blue water. Like it was. It was great back then. I tried it recently. Not. No bueno. [00:46:20] Speaker B: Oh, hey, what up? You're on the podcast right now. Oh, I didn't know. We're gonna go to Bailey's house, so whenever you're done. Okay. Hey, when you shower, do you use a washcloth or just the bar soap? What? When you shower, do you use a washcloth every time or if they don't. If they don't have a butthole cleaner? I use a wash cloth, so. So you use a washcloth every time you shower at home? No. What do you use? And you just finger your own butt? No, I don't. No, that's not how it works. That's why I said if I have a butthole cleaner, I don't need a washbox. So you have a butthole cleaner at home? [00:47:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:09] Speaker B: The spray nozzle. No. Clean it off. Yeah. What about you? Do you clean your legs? Yes, I clean my legs. Who the is asking these weird ass questions? I'm just. We have. We have questions here because I'm being told I'm weird because I use a new washcloth every single time. Yeah, I don't use washbox, but I don't have to. All right, bye. Bye. Because that's happening tonight. [00:47:33] Speaker A: Hell yeah. You are gonna have some fun. [00:47:36] Speaker B: All right. In all seriousness, we've gotten off on a bunch of tangents, which is fun. And Ryan and I have been trying to figure out, like, that realm when we have Josh, you know, like, we had Josh Ross on the podcast. God loves that we. I can't. I can't have an artist that is on that level that we're saying, like, completely off the wall, fucking crazy shit. [00:48:01] Speaker A: Good thing I'm not on that level. So. [00:48:04] Speaker B: But like, where they're like, I don't want to really piss off, like, somebody on a. On that scale of us saying you. I'm not saying. I'm. I'm not saying you're not on that level. Anything against you. I'm saying. [00:48:18] Speaker A: And then he says no. Okay. He brother. Honestly. Honestly, I'm not on that level yet. But as one day. [00:48:27] Speaker B: One day we have to be a discussion. But especially since it's new. [00:48:30] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:48:31] Speaker B: Since it's new, you got to ease into like, some of and see where the conversation goes. [00:48:36] Speaker A: And I'm just going to say, like, I hope that one day I'm like, The next, like, biggest thing. And we come back and we have this exact conver. Fucking station. Like, we. Exactly. We talk about aliens. We talk about butt stuff in the shower. All the stuff. I hope that we do this again because this has been so much fucking fun already. [00:48:59] Speaker B: So I appreciate you just taking the time to do it and absolutely. Where you're going musically. Like, I hope we continue to have this conversation, stay in touch, come back and play cruisins, play tailgate, whether it's with Taylor or your own, you know, your own band in your own career. Like, yeah, I just. I love that our family. We've talked about family a lot. That that family keeps growing, that we are building up, that. Those relationships. I mean, I just met this fucker 12 hours ago, and at a bar, and. [00:49:31] Speaker A: Which bar. [00:49:32] Speaker C: He's been hanging out with us all day, helping us. Yeah. [00:49:36] Speaker A: Oh, hell yeah. [00:49:37] Speaker B: And it just. But that network and, you know, meeting somebody this weekend that was talking about the same ideas and vision that I have for our company and knowing that I don't. We just had this little family of support that I could call you or the raised rowdy guy, shout out them. [00:49:54] Speaker A: Oh, dude. [00:49:55] Speaker B: I have picked their brain. On our podcast. Some of it I followed, Some of it I didn't. But they have been so supportive of everything we've been doing and had them on the other day, and it was great. [00:50:06] Speaker C: And that's what I mean. At least me, I'm picking up that everybody we've ever talked to, it's kind of like that. That's what the Nashville type of vibe is. Or, you know, the. The industry here is. Is that people are willing to help you. People are willing to stay in your corner, and they want to see you be successful. Even, you know, if you're more successful than they are or whatnot. They're there. They want to see you be lifted up, dude. [00:50:29] Speaker A: And, yeah, like. And, you know, like, I. Like, I have a very small team. Like, like, we came up together to Nashville. I was their first artist on the roster to come to Nashville. I slept in a garage, like, a true blue, like, legitimate garage for the first year that I was in Nashville. So when it got hot in the summer, it was like, 120 in there. When it got cold, it was fucking freezing. Like, I had to shake my bed out every night for bugs and stuff and had a couple snakes in there and stuff. And, like. But we did the damn thing, and we've helped each other grow. Like, I've taught them things. They've taught me things. And as I've, you know, gotten to network more in Nashville and I've got to make more friends. And, like, I just had this conversation with my band literally yesterday. Like, I don't want them to be. I don't want them to always just be my guys. Like, I want there to be a point where they, like, I hope Ryan has Morgan Wallen. Call him and say, dude, I love your playing. Like, will you come play with me? Like, I truly want everyone to succeed that is around me because that means I'm surrounding myself with the right people. And if there's anything I can do to help them succeed, like, you know, have you all heard that of that 10 Year Town podcast? [00:51:58] Speaker B: Yeah, it's Troy. [00:52:00] Speaker A: And I can't remember who it was. It might have been Hardy or it was another, like, artist, writer guy, I think. And he said, like, he said it best. He was. And I really wish I remembered his name. I saw it on a clip on Instagram, so I didn't really get to watch the episode yet, but he said, the one thing I really wish that I did was I wish I didn't focus so much on my career and helped the people around me more. And he used Hardy and Morgan Wallen as a reference. You know, like, Hardy was already kind of an established songwriter. Morgan Wallen was brand new. And Hardy didn't really want to write with Morgan at first, and he went ahead and did it anyways. And they've been symbiotic this entire time. And that's what Nashville is, is that you. You help the person next to you and hope, you know, it's cool if, you know, they're able to help you out when they get somewhere. But it's not because of that. It's just like. It's honestly, just like, this town has such a vibe about just, this is a hard fucking industry. Doing a podcast is really fucking hard. Being an artist and trying to do your own thing, especially today and figuring out social media, it's really fucking hard to write a song that reaches people and touches people. And there's no sense in making it harder by being in such competition with the guy next to you. You know, you might as well attack this as a team effort, because the commonality and the main enemy is the thing itself. To me, you know, it's. It's the beast of, you know, making it. And it's already hard as it is, so you might as well help people out along the way as much as you can and build with them and grow with them and because they might be able to teach you things that you never thought of. And as long as soon as you stop thinking that you need to learn anything is the moment you stop growing. And so you have to continue to grow. You have to help each other. And that's what I think I love the most about Nashville and this whole thing. [00:54:17] Speaker B: So I ask a question every time, and it's something that I love. Even if. Dude, if we weren't doing a podcast, I would 100% ask you this question. You're on an airplane and it starts to go down. There is a parachute, and on this airplane is every album that you. That you could ever want. Okay. But you can only grab five. [00:54:39] Speaker A: Five what? [00:54:40] Speaker B: Five albums are you listening to for the rest of your life on the deserted island you're gonna go on. [00:54:44] Speaker A: Number one. Top album that I'm saving is Royal Scam by Steely Dan. Oh, yeah, it's got, like, Kid Charlemagne on it. It's got Showbiz Kids. No, Showbiz Kids does not sound that one. I think Haitian Divorces on that one. It's got a really good lineup of stuff. Continuum by John Mayer. Gotta have that one. I'm trying to think. I only know a lot of yacht rock albums because I listen to those albums top to bottom. [00:55:25] Speaker B: Planes going down. [00:55:28] Speaker A: You're rushing me 10,000ft. You didn't. You didn't rush Taylor or Z. I was here for that. [00:55:33] Speaker B: 9,000Ft. [00:55:35] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. [00:55:40] Speaker B: 7,000. [00:55:45] Speaker A: I can. I'm trying to think of. [00:55:48] Speaker B: It's going into a split. [00:55:49] Speaker A: What's the one? What's the. What's the. What's the Chris Ableton album with Tennessee Whiskey and parachute on it? It's a parachute. [00:55:57] Speaker B: I don't know. But every person today has said travelers. [00:56:00] Speaker A: Travelers. Travelers. [00:56:01] Speaker B: Every person today has said Stapleton album. [00:56:06] Speaker A: Yeah, because Stapleton's the goat. [00:56:08] Speaker B: Okay, you got three, two. [00:56:11] Speaker A: Honestly, a Rock Hardy's album. [00:56:16] Speaker B: Okay. [00:56:16] Speaker A: I love that album. I can listen that top to bottom. Is that four? [00:56:20] Speaker B: Four. [00:56:20] Speaker A: So I need one more 2,000. [00:56:26] Speaker C: Prepare for impact. [00:56:27] Speaker B: Yeah, your parachutes pretty well at this point. [00:56:29] Speaker A: Well, I'm dying. I'm dying with all the albums. [00:56:32] Speaker B: What's the last one? [00:56:34] Speaker A: Damn it, man. That's a hard question. [00:56:41] Speaker B: It's gonna eat it. It's gonna eat at you because then. [00:56:43] Speaker A: You'Re gonna Marshall Mathers lp. [00:56:44] Speaker B: Hey, there we go. There we go round. [00:56:47] Speaker A: I think I got. I think I got a good incompetent.
