[00:00:00] Speaker A: This was for the home team.
[00:00:14] Speaker B: Hey, welcome to tailgate Beers. We got Ryan here. Austin's actually out on assignment today, so. So he's not joining me. I'm here. We're talking to Locade. Welcome to Locade.
[00:00:42] Speaker A: Don't you sell it short, my darling. Them lines will come right back on you. Yeah, thanks for having me, man. Appreciate you guys.
[00:00:50] Speaker B: Thanks for. Thanks for your willingness to sit down and get to know us a little bit. First time in Peoria. I know you're a tailgate and Toggle is alum, but. First time in Peoria, Illinois?
[00:01:00] Speaker A: Yeah, first time Peoria.
[00:01:01] Speaker B: What do you think so far?
[00:01:02] Speaker A: It's awesome. It honestly just looks like south Mississippi up here. Yeah, a whole lot of nothing. That's where I like it, to be honest.
[00:01:08] Speaker B: A lot of corn fields and bean fields and all of that.
[00:01:12] Speaker A: Sure. It's cold up here, dude.
[00:01:13] Speaker B: It is. It's gotten cold quick. We went straight from summer right into winter, it seems like, and.
[00:01:18] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:01:18] Speaker B: And there's no slowing down. So tell us a little bit about you. I've known, I do know that you kind of started doing the music thing back in high school timeframe and talk to us about how you got started with that.
[00:01:33] Speaker A: Yeah, so I just kind of. I think I was like 14 or 15, and there was this guy at my school, my high school in Louisiana, who was kind of doing a rap thing in his car, not professionally. He was taking voice notes or whatever and putting them on Twitter. And people would go crazy for it at school. And I was like, oh, I want to do that. That's fun. You know, I saw that attention. I was like, damn, I'm going to try that. So I did. But, you know, it just became more real for me. You know, I actually went and bought out, you know, went out and bought the equipment to do it and, you know, kind of learned, like, how to mix, you know, what programs to use and all this other stuff and just kind of started making songs from my bedroom and just posting them, you know, and that ultimately got me here.
[00:02:12] Speaker B: Well, that's awesome. That's awesome. And I heard you telling the story earlier, but I would love to hear more about, you know, going on the tick tock and going from starting out doing. Doing some of the rap stuff in that. That time and then posting the country song and all of a sudden you.
[00:02:30] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I mean, I was doing like rap and like the MGK thing that he's doing, like the pop punk stuff for a while. And then, you know, I had made A country song kind of for fun.
I think I had made it like almost a year to date before I posted it. But I had this country song on my files for a while and I just never posted it because I didn't really want to do country at first. And then I just got to a point where I was like, I just want something to work. So sat down one night, I think it was like 3am I was in Richmond, Mississippi, and I never really been on TikTok before and I just propped my phone up on the, on the, on this dresser at this party and just like lip synced, you know, Like, I think it was like an 8 second clip of the song and I posted it and then my boys woke me up the next morning and the video was like 120k, which like wasn't like great, but it was like the biggest I had ever seen, you know what I'm saying? So I felt like I needed to pursue it. So I just kind of started rinsing, repeating that for about a year and eventually, you know, got me here, got me the deal at Big Machine and, you know, now we're on the road.
[00:03:33] Speaker B: Yeah. So I know you were in Cincinnati, you said last night, and doing some more shows coming up. I think you are heading down to Nashville and then off to Florida for a little bit.
[00:03:43] Speaker A: Yeah, we go back to Nashville tonight.
Probably late tonight. Probably like 1am staying around, partying with us. Yeah, we'll party with you guys for a little bit. Y'all seem cool enough. And then we got a nice box over there. Yeah. Oh yeah, I got a, got a beautiful box of green stuff from these lovely gentleman, Steve O.
[00:04:03] Speaker B: Woods. Anybody knows Steve O. He's, he's one that helps put those boxes together for us. So shout out to him.
[00:04:10] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. So we're headed, we're headed down to Florida, I think Thursday for two there and then I believe we go to Wichita, Kansas, which would be fun for an arena. Yeah, she's gonna be really cool. And then I think we end the year off in South Carolina.
[00:04:27] Speaker B: Huh. So how did, how did your, your transition to Nashville go? I know you're from the south, Louisiana, Mississippi area, from Mistaken.
[00:04:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:04:36] Speaker B: How did, how did that transition go?
[00:04:40] Speaker A: It was pretty easy. It wasn't that difficult. I mean, I think the hardest part about it was, was like learning to like lock my doors because, you know, where I'm from, you don't have to lock your door. You know what I'm saying?
[00:04:50] Speaker B: Same around here.
[00:04:51] Speaker A: Yeah, so it's. That was like it was just like the city culture. It wasn't even really like so much the music. It was like living in a place where there's 2 million people.
[00:04:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:04:59] Speaker A: Because I'm not used to that. You know what I'm saying?
[00:05:02] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. So you're a car guy too, I hear.
[00:05:05] Speaker A: Yeah, I like cars, man. Cars are pretty cool. So it's an expensive hobby to have. It's, you know, it's worth it. I just got a.
I got into the, to the Mopar community probably like two years ago. I got really into all that and I think I've went through like I went through like three or four Chargers and Challengers and then I just went and got a Ram trx probably like maybe like a month ago to the date. I think actually a month ago to the date. So. Yeah, so it's fucking sick. I love that. Dude.
[00:05:35] Speaker B: I bet I had a 2000 probably, I don't know, 15 or so challenger.
I didn't go to Scat Pack. I heard you talking about that earlier.
RT and it was a lot of fun at. Long story short, I told my wife, I said, you know, I was driving a long ways commute, right. So I was actually in Ohio and I was driving from Toledo to Columbus.
[00:05:58] Speaker A: Every day for work.
[00:05:59] Speaker B: It's like a two and a half hour drive by the way. And I told her, hey, I think I need a more economic, you know, vehicle to get me from Toledo to Columbus and you know, something that you know is good on gas. And I brought home an RT. An RT and you know, it was V8 and all that kind of stuff and Mopar and whatnot and totally went against anything that I said as far as economy went. But it was a lot funner to drive.
[00:06:26] Speaker A: Yeah, it is fun to drive, dude. I loved my Scat Pack. I hate. I got rid of it honestly. But I had the Charger, I had the four door. I think I actually had two Challengers. I had a, had a V6 and then I had a RT.
[00:06:36] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:06:37] Speaker A: And then I got the Scat Pack and then I got the trx. So they're fun. Dude, even the TRX is fun.
[00:06:42] Speaker B: Oh goodness. Yeah, I've rode with Wayne a little bit too.
[00:06:45] Speaker A: It's crazy they make a truck that fast.
[00:06:48] Speaker B: Yeah, I've gotten at least one speeding ticket with Wayne driving.
[00:06:52] Speaker A: Oh really?
[00:06:53] Speaker B: That was just last month actually. But yeah, no, it's a lot of fun. I enjoy it. If I had a little bit more money, I would certainly be getting into some. I would love to have a 69 Chevelle, old muscle cars, you know, dodges, two Fords, even. Even. Even an older Mustang. I would, I would.
[00:07:16] Speaker A: The old Mustangs are beautiful. All the SS2 and stuff. Those are cool, man.
[00:07:20] Speaker B: So what else. What else should people know? So your. Your name is Cade.
[00:07:24] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:07:25] Speaker B: And I've heard the story that you go by. Located, you know, as your stage name, went back to high school, right?
[00:07:31] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:07:32] Speaker B: Tell us that.
[00:07:33] Speaker A: Yeah, I just had a friend, man, and he.
I think it was like a Louisiana thing. Um, his name was Nick. And he would. When he would talk to people, he would never just call you by your name. Yeah, he would always feel the need to put Lil in front of your name, like you're a rapper, you know, so it was like, if he was taught, if he was talking to you, you know, he wasn't just gonna say your name. It was Lil Jack, Lil whatever, Lil X, Lil Y, Lil Z. But, like, the way with his accent, the way he said it, he always. Hey, Leakade. And I thought that was cool. I thought it was funny.
[00:08:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:08:04] Speaker A: So I just, you know, I was doing, like, rap and stuff, so, like, I needed a name like that. You know what I'm saying? I didn't, you know, I didn't really want to do, like, my government name, so I just made it that. And then I posted the. The country thing, like, under that account. So it was like, well, it's too late to change it now, so I'm just located.
[00:08:24] Speaker B: That's awesome. That's awesome.
[00:08:26] Speaker A: I like it, though, because it stands out on the flyer.
[00:08:28] Speaker B: Oh, absolutely.
[00:08:28] Speaker A: You know, I'm saying, like, it's.
[00:08:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:08:29] Speaker A: You know, you can't really.
[00:08:31] Speaker B: Your name, obviously.
[00:08:32] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. You can't really mistake it for anything else, like right there.
[00:08:35] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Tailgate and Tall Boys. Alum. You played at tailgate last year.
[00:08:41] Speaker A: Yeah, it was fun.
[00:08:42] Speaker B: Well, yeah, Tell us about your experience there.
[00:08:44] Speaker A: Oh, it was great. Dude, I've never seen so many fucking trucks in my life.
[00:08:47] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:08:48] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. That was wild. It was great. No, everybody was really nice. There was a lot of booze, a lot of weed. Great, great. We loved it. I think we played with. Who do we play with that day? I think we played with Dipper and Taylor Holder. Yeah, they were great. They were all awesome guys. And Bailey, come over and hang out with us for a second, which was cool. Got to see him and got to bring my truck out there and show it off a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My Ford. I have a Ford too, so I brought that out and showed it off a little bit.
[00:09:15] Speaker B: Heck yeah.
[00:09:16] Speaker A: Yeah, it was awesome.
[00:09:17] Speaker B: Yeah, those guys. We know, we know Taylor and Bailey. Bailey was there, I think, all four days of Tailgate and Tall Boys. He showed up on Thursday, didn't play, I think until Saturday, if my memory serves me right. But it's kind of a hometown kind of place for Bailey. So he just hung out. He just brought his crew and just hung out for all four days at Tailgate. A lot of fun.
[00:09:39] Speaker A: He was lit out there, dude. Trust.
[00:09:42] Speaker B: Yeah, a lot of stories there, but no, they're good tailgate friends as well.
So what else is on the horizon? What else? Any new music coming up? What else you got going on?
[00:09:53] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, I'm looking to get one more out by the end of the year. You know, we'll see what we can do.
I'm really excited about like the touring next year. Yeah, we're shooting for some. I don't want to say any names, but we're shooting for some big tours next year with some. Some really big artists for direct sport slots. So that'll be really fun. Looking at some co headline stuff too.
[00:10:13] Speaker B: Good for you.
[00:10:13] Speaker A: So. And obviously like some one offs here and there. I know. We did just announce though that we're going to be with Chase Matthew in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Lake Charles, Louisiana in April, which is going to be really fun on his tour. So that'll be great.
[00:10:29] Speaker B: Yeah. Chase is a friend of Tailgate and Tall Boys as well. He's been out there, but. No, that's great. And you have a song out now, Liquor and Cigarettes. Something that certainly resonates.
Do you do a lot of your own writing and going through the process that way yourself?
[00:10:48] Speaker A: When I first started more so, yeah. When I moved to Nashville, I kind of fell into a good group of writers. I actually wrote that song with two buddies of mine, Brandon Manley and Jake Banfield. They actually, I think they had initially written like the first three or four lines of it and they had like, you know, some music behind it. They're like, this is really sick. But they're like, nobody's gonna put this out. Like, it's too, you know, it's too dark. And then I think Brandon was like, nah, I know who'll put this out. So they called me and then they had me come over there. And I think it sat for like a year. We wrote it that day, finished it sat for a year and then, you know, we finally got it out on the 1st, obviously and like, we were all super excited about it. I've been wanting to put that out for a long time, so.
[00:11:29] Speaker B: So talk to us about that process, because I'm more of the fan perspective. Right. Austin, my partner here, co host, he usually knows more of the insides of the industry than I do, but I just started getting into somewhat of the. Of the behind the scenes stuff and thinking about, like, riding. So do you get together with some of those guys and some of the buddies you've made in Nashville and do a lot of writing?
[00:11:52] Speaker A: Yeah, for a while there I was doing, you know, five to six days a week. Kind of.
[00:11:57] Speaker B: Really?
[00:11:57] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Kind of just meeting up at wherever, whether it's like Warner Chapel or just somebody's house or like a Sony building or wherever. And we just kind of hang out. Usually takes us about four hours, man. We come in there and, you know, we all trade ideas. You know, everybody's got ideas for songs, and then we kind of just pick the best one and run with it. And, you know, we usually like to get like a rough, like, scratch thing that day. Like, we'll have somebody in there to make like a tiny track, like not real big loud thing. You know, sometimes it's just acoustic, you know, like an acoustic demo. And we take that and we just kind of. Once you get about like 50 of those, it's like, all right, now let's pick like eight that are really, really good, you know, like to put in the chamber. And that's kind of what we do, but it's kind of slowed down more recently. Now I'm writing about three to four days a week, but I'm writing with a lot bigger names, so it kind of makes up for it. You know, we've written with some really cool guys. I've written with some of Tim's people, Tim McGraw's some of Morgan's guys, actually pitched a couple songs to Morgan, so we'll see about that.
[00:13:00] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:13:00] Speaker A: But, yeah, I'm having a really good time writing right now. It's really fun right now for me.
[00:13:05] Speaker B: So just in, like your everyday life, I mean, you're here in Peoria, getting ready to play here at Cruisins tonight. You know, if you know a possible song lyric or something along those lines kind of kind of crosses your mind. Is that something, you know, you put in your phone and you save for those types of days to.
[00:13:24] Speaker A: For sure. It happens all the time. You know, we, you know, as writers, we use our voice memos a lot. So, like, if you went into my voice memos, you'd find hundreds and hundreds of Notes of me just like mumbling shit, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, mumbling crazy melodies and shit. And it probably wouldn't make sense if you just heard it off my voice note. But it's really cool when you have something good and you mumble it into your phone and then it comes together a month or two later with the right people and it becomes this great song.
It's very satisfying. But yeah, to answer your question, I do that a lot.
[00:13:59] Speaker B: How long is the process? So, you know, you have a song that, I mean, you said that the one took like a year before you got it out. I mean, it's a lot of hurry up and wait, it seems.
[00:14:12] Speaker A: Yeah, it does. Especially, you know, in the independent game. It's different, you know, independently I was more of like a every drop in every three weeks guy, two weeks. So we needed a lot of songs, you know, so pretty much everything was getting released quickly. Once you get into like the label side of things, like at that level where I am now, it gets a bit more meticulous because at that point you're with a partner and, you know, which is great, you know, so sometimes people don't see eye to eye on songs, you know, and sometimes, you know, a lot of it's, you know, producers too. A lot of the stuff I was doing before, I was doing at home in my bedroom on my own time, but now it's like, you know, we have access to these high level engineers, producers, mix master, all that. And you know, sometimes it takes those guys a month and a half to get the song done right, you know, and then you gotta throw together the marketing plans. Like I said, everything's more like meticulous and thought out, you know, once you get to the label side of things. So, you know, it. Sometimes it can take us three months to get a song out, you know.
[00:15:09] Speaker B: So from like, from a social media perspective, you know, you drop a song. I mean, do artists these days, I mean, almost have to become like an influencer to, you know, be out there and posting a lot and getting that kind of, you know, your own marketing? I mean, it's got to be tough.
[00:15:29] Speaker A: I mean, I think so to a degree for sure. I mean, you know, everybody's on their phone now, you know, it's. It's almost like things like TikTok that are kind of becoming the new radio and if your face is not on there, I mean. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? You're going to fall behind and, you know, I think that's the Case with a lot of people in town, you know, a lot of people. A lot of companies fall behind from that. They don't want to accept that. They don't want to move on. But it's like, you know, you have to be on these apps and you have to put your face out because, you know, anywhere you go now, people are looking down, you know, and you want to be there where they're looking, you know, And I feel like that's. That's the best way to sell tickets, best way to sell merch, streams, you know, I think. Yeah, definitely. That's. That's what it takes now in 2024 and for as long as we have phones. Yeah, yeah.
[00:16:17] Speaker B: And it's. It's crazy that, you know, just to, you know, kind of have that name and have, you know, the likeness of yourself out there and some of your music, you have to, you know, really understand and get to know algorithms and everything else that goes into the influencer world these days, too. So let's talk about you on stage. What? Somebody's coming to Lecade show tonight here at Cruisins, Peoria, Illinois. What can they expect to see from you on stage, man?
[00:16:48] Speaker A: Honestly, I think my favorite part about being on stage, what I always try to do is I love making people laugh, you know, that's my favorite part, honestly, was one of my favorite things being on stage is just talking to the fans. I like interacting verbally with people a lot. I like to make jokes. I love to bully the shit out of the guitar players. That's my favorite thing to do.
We let the drummer go a little bit crazy, too. We have a pop punk drummer. He's sick. His name's Tom.
[00:17:13] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:17:13] Speaker A: A lot of people love Tom. I'm not gonna lie to you. There have been a couple shows where I've gotten off the st and I think Tom's taking more pictures than I have. So, you know.
But yeah, for sure we're going to play. We're going to play a couple covers. We've been working that into the set. People love covers, man. You know, even if they're there for you, they love covers. And, you know, the fans have really responded well to that. So, I mean, you can always expect that. I think we got a few good ones in there right now. We got a Cruz, a Florida Georgia line.
[00:17:39] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:17:39] Speaker A: She's country. Good Directions by Billy Currington. People love that. People love good directions, dude. But yeah, we're gonna have a good time tonight.
[00:17:47] Speaker B: That's awesome. That's awesome. So we you know, obviously, with cruisins over here, we have a lot of artists that are coming through. And, you know, a lot of them, they say, hey, you know, I'd love to look out and be able to gain new fans. And some of that stage presence certainly has, you know, a big part of that, you know, lyrics that resonate, music that resonates as well. I mean, do you ever, like, challenge yourself or your bandmates to be like, hey, look at that guy in the corner. You know, he doesn't know who I am. You know, let's try to win him over kind of thing. You know, hands crossed, arms crossed, you know, let's show him what we got.
[00:18:27] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. 100%. You know, we go over that kind of stuff in rehearsal, too. You know, we have ways, you know, to get the crowd moving. If not everybody's sure yet. You know, a lot of it's like, can. Can come down to, like, letting the lead guy go up for the solo and, you know, screaming, everybody. Everybody. Listen to this shit. And then sending the lead guy up there to go rip a crazy solo. You know, that kind of stuff works really well.
[00:18:52] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:18:53] Speaker A: And like I said, you know, in the covers and stuff, we work some of that stuff together. Like, I know for good direction. Sometimes we'll all just go sit on the drum riser, and it makes everybody look. Cause they're like, what the fuck are they doing? And we all sit there together and just bop our heads together and sing good directions and, you know, things like that, you know, without calling people out. You know, you don't want to be like, pay attention to me. You know what I'm saying? I want, you know, the lead guy to go up there and play a cool lick. Or me to tell a funny or interesting story or a joke. Or I want the drummer to do a crazy drum solo that makes people look up.
[00:19:29] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:29] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying?
[00:19:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:31] Speaker A: Get invested.
[00:19:31] Speaker B: Oh, absolutely. And then they walk away. I've done it hundreds of times. Even some of the people are coming through, cruising where I may or may not recognize all their music. But at the end of the night, I'm like, I gotta go follow. I gotta go stream. I want to download. I want to do all the things to make sure that I'm listening. And they're getting into, you know.
[00:19:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:19:55] Speaker B: My.
[00:19:56] Speaker A: My groups 100%.
[00:19:58] Speaker B: So what else do you like to do? I mean, we talked about cars and trucks and. And. And what else? Outside of Locade, So. So going to decade, what else are you into?
[00:20:09] Speaker A: Honestly, Man, I've been. I've been playing video games for a long time and I've been thinking about starting to stream it on Twitch. I don't. I know Came Brown doesn't. He does pretty good.
[00:20:21] Speaker B: Really?
[00:20:21] Speaker A: Yeah, man. I love sports, dude. Yeah, I've been hanging out a lot at. Well, I was. He got traded. I was hanging out a lot at like Titans games and stuff. Doing that in my spare time. I had a buddy playing over there. He's got traded to the Chiefs. So I guess now I'm like halfway achieve.
[00:20:38] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
[00:20:39] Speaker A: So I'm kind of into those things as well.
I'm a basketball guy. I played basketball in high school. I love playing ball whenever I get the chance that there's. If there's buddies at the court and stuff, you know, those kinds of things.
[00:20:53] Speaker B: So getting. Getting some exercise that way.
[00:20:55] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. That's way better than going to the gym. Fuck the gym.
[00:20:59] Speaker B: Right? I agree with that. I fuck the gym.
So, looking forward to a few shows. I know you said you go down south for a few shows and come back up to the Midwest. Kansas, I think. Oklahoma, I think, is in there somewhere too, you know. What are you looking forward to the end of the year then? What are some of your goals for 2025? I know you said, you know, bigger. Bigger shows come in and some names, but what else is in the pipeline, man?
[00:21:29] Speaker A: I think I really want to. Going back to what you were saying earlier, I really want to. There was a point where I was really locked in on, like, the influence. Yeah, the influencer side of things and kind of let that slip a little bit. And I really want to get locked back in on that while we're doing these shows, you know, just so we can sell the most tickets that we can sell the most T shirts that we can, you know, whatever it is.
I really also would like to put more songs out than I did last year, you know, and I'm doing my part now this year to get music ready and written and, you know, trying new producers and, you know, new mixes, and I think we can accomplish all that in 2025.
[00:22:14] Speaker B: Good for you.
[00:22:15] Speaker A: I feel good about it.
[00:22:16] Speaker B: Go out there and just kill it and keep grinding.
[00:22:20] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, for sure. Just grind.
[00:22:22] Speaker B: Family, man. Are you a family man at all? I mean, you have any family back home or anything?
[00:22:27] Speaker A: Yeah, both of my parents live in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Everybody else lives in Louisiana still.
We're kind of like split in Louisiana, though. We've got like half in the north. Like The Monroe area and then half in the south, like the Baton Rouge area. I see them when I can, but it's, you know, like Baton Rouge especially. That's like eight, nine hours away, you know, So I do see my parents a lot, though.
[00:22:51] Speaker B: Good.
[00:22:52] Speaker A: In Hattiesburg. It's not that far from Nashville. It's like six hours. It's not terrible, you know.
[00:22:56] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
Like I was telling you earlier, before we came on the podcast, too, I was just in Nashville this past week just for a quick trip and seven hours one way to go back. And then partied all night and then came back and seven hours back. So I got that feeling.
[00:23:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:23:11] Speaker B: But. Yeah. So talk to us a little bit more about your Tailgate and Tallboys experience.
And what did it feel like to be up on the stage and see some of those festivals? Have you done many of those types of festivals previously or.
[00:23:29] Speaker A: That was.
I think that was the first festival.
I'm pretty sure that was the first festival, but it was a great feeling. I loved it. The crowd. The energy from the crowd was unreal there because I could tell there were people that didn't know who I was, but they were interested, you know, and they were intrigued, and they were having a good time, and they were drinking, they were smoking, they were doing their thing, and everybody was really kind, you know, I got off the stage and everybody's like, you know, you want a beer? Do you need this? Do you need that? Like, welcome to. Welcome to Tailgates. Welcome to Illinois. Are you coming back? It was great, man. And like I said, the energy level was really high. It makes it so much easier on us when the energy level comes high like that, when people are, like, excited to be there. I feel like a lot of times, you know, because, you know, you can play a crowd and half the people there got drugged there by somebody else. You know what I'm saying? So it's like. It's. It's. It's. It's hard to go up there and as a opening act or a direct support act and have the crowd already excited as shit.
[00:24:31] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:31] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying?
[00:24:32] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:33] Speaker A: So I love that about tailgates and like I said, being up there and getting to see. Because, you know, there's trucks all out in these fields, and it was even cool just to, like, be on stage and be above everybody and see all the trucks and stuff. That was really cool, too.
[00:24:45] Speaker B: Yeah. And Bailey has. I think it's Bailey's brother that's involved in the truck show and all. Of that and Bailey himself is as well.
But. Yeah, no, that's. That's awesome. And 2025, we're gonna have a lot. A lot of the similar stuff for tailgating tall boys. People are excited about lineup announcements and all that kind of fun stuff coming up too, so. Looking forward to that.
Let's. Let's talk a little bit more about. About your music. And 2022, you mentioned, you know, you post When I'm gone out on TikTok, and that was kind of your entry into. Into country.
So at that point, it was just kind of a decision, hey, this. This must work. Is there any, you know, relationships or friendships that have blossomed that. That you've really, you know, latched onto from, you know, inside the industry or any other friends like that?
[00:25:42] Speaker A: Yeah, I think so. For sure.
You know, there's three guys I can name off the top of my head, Three songwriters in particular that I met shortly after that song was released from Nashville, and they actually wrote my. The next three with me after When I'm Gone. And, you know, we call those the big four, the songs When I'm Gone, Back Road, Sober Me up in Painkillers, and I wrote a Sober Back Robe and Painkillers with the same three guys, Eddie and the Getaway, Bo Bailey and Cole Miracle.
Eddie had reached out to me on Instagram.
I didn't live in Nashville yet. I was coming up like, once a month to work on stuff, and Eddie had reached out and was like, you know, man, do you want to come write some songs and hang out? You know, I know this guy Bo, and I know this guy Cole, and I don't think any of us really had anything going on yet, you know, and I didn't really have the resources to reach out to, like, any A list writers. So I met up with these guys. I'm like, fuck it, why not? You know, we wrote those three songs and we became really good friends, and we, you know, we don't write as much anymore. They all have deals now and, you know, life happens. But I talk to those guys frequently, and we, you know, we're all grateful for each other, you know, that that time period changed all of our lives. So.
[00:27:04] Speaker B: Yeah, and that's. I mean, that's a couple years. I mean, we're looking at 20, 24, obviously, now. So that's all that's happened in just a quick couple of years.
[00:27:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:27:15] Speaker B: And even high school for you. I mean, you mentioned earlier, 21 years old and out traveling the countryside and getting people to come to shows and putting music out.
When you're in Nashville, I've got to ask, when you're in Nashville home, do you ever go to Broadway very much?
[00:27:36] Speaker A: Oh God, no.
[00:27:38] Speaker B: So I took my wife for the first time to Nashville last week. I mentioned. And you know, obviously we got to see Broadway. You know, we got to do the experience once.
But then, you know, getting to know the race, rowdy guys, Matt and Nikki T, you know, they're. They're always at Losers and the Red Door and over in Midtown area. So that's kind of where we hang out when we go down there. But Broadway is not something that you regularly go visit.
[00:28:07] Speaker A: No, man, it gets a little too crazy out there on Broadway.
It's just too many people, man. And they're all tourists. Nothing against tourists, but you know, they're there to get fucked up and throw chairs.
Like I don't blame them. That's what I did, you know, before. I mean I wasn't old enough to, but I still did it. But you know, when I first started coming up there, that's what I went down there to do in the few bars that I could sneak in. But you know, it's just not my thing. I like, I like the bars like off like Division street and stuff, like Midtown. Like, yeah, that area. Like I'll go to Red Door and hang out and put my shit on the touch tunes like an asshole. But like, you know, but also, you know, I will say like they do have. I'm not going to name. I'm not going to name the bars. Not going to call anybody out. They do have some bars with some secret rooms.
[00:29:04] Speaker B: Oh really?
[00:29:05] Speaker A: If you know the right people, you can go in there and hang out and not be bothered. I won't say the names, but I will go to those bars. I will go in the little secret rooms and hang out.
[00:29:17] Speaker B: So I do not know the right people.
[00:29:19] Speaker A: I believe that that so.
[00:29:22] Speaker B: Yeah, so. So I just have really enjoyed from a fan perspective of getting people more of the behind the scenes kind of kind of insight. So. So you guys get here. I think you guys got here fairly early this morning.
[00:29:36] Speaker A: Yeah, I think like 6:30 or something.
[00:29:38] Speaker B: And just kind of hanging out. I mean here at Cruisins we've got a green room slash office kind of area that we're in now. This is where the set is at as well. But we've got showers and all that kind of stuff that you guys kind of hang out. Went over to ducks earlier.
[00:29:54] Speaker A: Thank God for the showers. Let me tell y'all.
[00:29:57] Speaker B: Went over to Ducks earlier and got some food. I think the team got some lunch over there.
[00:30:03] Speaker A: They got food. I got abandoned. My band abandoned me.
[00:30:07] Speaker B: Well, we'll get you. Make sure we get you some food too. But, yeah, over there has got good food and all that kind of fun stuff. So just kind of hanging out today.
Is that. Is that fairly normal or get there and.
[00:30:18] Speaker A: Yeah, we just get here and hang out, man. Which is honestly the worst part. I think the day of the show before you go on for me is like the most anxious part. I'm like, I just want to do it. I just want to go there and do it. But, yeah, we just hang out, man. This is honestly one of the best green rooms we've had, though, so thank you guys for that.
[00:30:37] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:30:38] Speaker A: I've had to shower. We played in South Carolina. No, no, hate to this venue. It was amazing. They were great people. I had to shower on the beach. One of those little beach showers.
[00:30:48] Speaker B: For the right reasons. I think that would be fun, you know, if I was on the beach and got all sandy. But. But yeah, no, not just because I need a shower.
[00:30:55] Speaker A: Walking from the Winnebago down to the boardwalk in your underwear to take a shower is like.
It's kind of rough.
[00:31:02] Speaker B: You mentioned it. And it kind of piqued my interest there. So out on tour with. With. From what I've seen a bunch of dudes, you know, what's. What's a tour bus look like? I mean, how does that, you know, how do you feel or what happens on a tour bus?
[00:31:17] Speaker A: I'd have to kill you. I'm playing.
Honestly. We just sit there and listen to music and have deep conversation. Be honest with you, you know, if, you know. You know, if you don't, you don't. Black Ops 6 just came out. So I bought, like, a laptop to be able to play Black Ops 6 on the road, which is great.
So I wanted to do. And I was a kid, I wanted to be like a professional Call of Duty player. Fun fact.
[00:31:42] Speaker B: There you go.
[00:31:43] Speaker A: I was a big Call of Duty guy when I was a kid. But. Yeah, well, you know, play that. Sometimes we bring the PlayStation and we'll play, like, Madden on the road. Honestly, a lot of it's just us sitting across from each other just having, like, talks and we talk about the shows. Like, we'll go over, like, any kind of, like, changes or anything, you know, that we want to make. And that all happens in about 30 minutes. And we just get up for the next six hours.
I'm not Gonna lie to.
[00:32:24] Speaker B: So we're sitting here, Tailgate Beers. Like I said earlier, Austin is out on assignment today enjoying some surfside. We've got our Stateside Vodka here as well. We appreciate them for their sponsorship of Tailgate Beers podcast. Sitting today with located. He is playing here at Peoria Cruising tonight. I do have one burning question that I know Austin always asks all of our guests as they come on, and he will be upset if I do not ask this question.
[00:32:53] Speaker A: I have a question, too.
[00:32:54] Speaker B: Yes, sir.
[00:32:55] Speaker A: Can I take one of these home? Because they're fucking great.
[00:32:56] Speaker B: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. You can take more than one.
[00:32:59] Speaker A: Awesome.
[00:33:00] Speaker B: Yeah, no, those are good.
[00:33:01] Speaker A: Yeah, these are fucking great.
[00:33:03] Speaker B: We got into these guys and I was telling kind of the story earlier, so. So Matt, we got met. Matt, he is the co founder of Surfside and Stateside Vodka out in Philly area. He was here, sat down with the podcast with us a few weeks ago and. Hell of a dude. Hell of a dude.
Yeah. You're going to see a lot more Surfside stuff Stateside Vodka here for tailgate and tall boys this year, Cruising, all that great stuff. And we appreciate him for sending over all of our drinks for Tailgate Beer. So thank you, Stateside. Thank you, Surfside.
[00:33:36] Speaker A: Yeah. Shout out.
[00:33:37] Speaker B: Yes. And we'll get you some more too, for awesome. For the bus as well. So the way Austin tells it, and I might mix it up, might screw it up a little bit because it's not my question, but.
So you're on a airplane, right? You've got a parachute. So you're going to be safe as far as that is concerned. But you got to grab five albums, right? There's a record player, you know, something like that. And you can, since it's not my question, and Austin usually sticks them to it, but you can say artists, you can say songs, you can say whatever you want. Just because I'm a nice, generous guy like that.
But so you're able to grab out of all the music.
So do you have, you know, five albums, five artists, five. Something that, you know, you grab last second out that you're. You're basically going to be stuck listening to for the rest of your life. That. On an island.
[00:34:32] Speaker A: Okay, I'm grabbing.
Ooh, hot take. I'm grabbing Ernest. Okay, I'm grabbing George.
[00:34:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:34:48] Speaker A: I'm grabbing Coetzel.
I'm grabbing Key Glock.
[00:34:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:34:55] Speaker A: What's that? Three? Three or four? Four. Four. Oh, fuck.
Mmm.
And I can listen to my music, too, Correct? Because I'm safe, too.
[00:35:08] Speaker B: Absolutely, you can.
And you can mix it up. You could, you could, you know, bring a rap. Rap is big.
[00:35:15] Speaker A: George Ernest. Co.
Dude, why'd you ask me this?
I think.
I think I'm gonna grab Keith Whitley.
[00:35:30] Speaker B: Okay. There you go.
[00:35:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I like it.
[00:35:33] Speaker B: I like it. So you stuck a lot to a country, so obviously.
[00:35:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I listened to a lot of, like, rap music when I was younger, but like, as I got older, because some of that stuff is just such poison, man. Not hating on rap, but like, some of it, like, cannot. Some of that stuff can't be good to listen to every day.
[00:35:58] Speaker B: Right.
[00:35:58] Speaker A: You know, some of that, like gangster rap stuff. Not all rap, but it's like some of that stuff, like, as I got older, I was like, dude, what am I listening to? I was like, this cannot be healthy, you know, so that's kind of also why I kind of got in the country too as well. Because I was like, some of the stuff I was saying, I was like, dude, I don't want my kids to hear me saying this.
[00:36:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:36:14] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? So one day, one day I don't have kids, but one day, like, like, I don't want to, like, blow up for this and then have to sing about, like, selling dope for the rest of my life. And my kids, like, they're like, dad, what the fuck?
[00:36:28] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I've got, I've got four kids. And. Yeah, no, it's, it's. Life changes. Life changes. And good for you for kind of thinking ahead on that.
[00:36:39] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. I mean, like, I have some buddies, you know, I'm not gonna say his name. Have anybody who's in a. In a group and he, he's a rapper in the group and he tours and stuff. And he's older now, he's got two kids and he's like, man, he's, you know, it's hard now because I have kids and like, we're still putting out songs and like, I very, like, dial back on what I say because, like, I don't want, you know, my kids to show up to my tour and hear me singing these new songs and like, you know, like, it gets tricky. Man, I feel you there.
[00:37:15] Speaker B: I mean, even from a podcaster standpoint, like I said, I've got four kids and actually I have a grandson. I'm a grandpa. I know I look like I'm 21 years old, but no, I am much older than that. And yes, I have my 22 year old daughter.
[00:37:31] Speaker A: How old are you? I'm 45, not gonna lie. I gave you like 34, 45.
[00:37:36] Speaker B: Yeah. So, I mean, it's something even from a podcast standpoint that I've got to think about too. You know, I've got kids and grandkids eventually that might hear this.
[00:37:46] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm sure they will one day, man.
[00:37:50] Speaker B: But yeah. So we also have another burning question. So we covered the record question. We have another burning question that we've talked to several different artists about. And in the ode of Austin, who's not with us today. So talk about some of the shower habits of Lecade.
And my question is.
I confused you on that one, didn't I? Thought we're habits.
[00:38:16] Speaker A: Yeah. I was like, well, I start with shampoo, but when you start with that.
[00:38:21] Speaker B: Shampoo or just body soap, Right?
[00:38:23] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:38:24] Speaker B: Do you use a washcloth or just enhance or pump soap? Whatever you use.
[00:38:31] Speaker A: I prefer to have a washcloth. If I don't have a washcloth, I'm not going to go out of my way and wait like two hours to wash one.
[00:38:38] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:38:38] Speaker A: To wash and dry, like a bunch of washcloths and stuff.
[00:38:41] Speaker B: Right.
[00:38:41] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying?
[00:38:43] Speaker B: So if you go into a linen closet at home, you probably have a stack of towels and have a stack of washcloths that.
[00:38:50] Speaker A: Yeah. Get out for the shower. I keep, like, the washcloths, like, under the sink. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the towel. So it's like. But like I said, you know, if I got to take a shower, you never feel just like, gross. You're like, I have to take a shower. Like, I'm. I got to. And you like, I'm not gonna. I'm not waiting two hours. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, dude, I'm just gonna do it and then when I get done, then I'll wash my shit for next time. Right. You know what I'm saying?
[00:39:14] Speaker B: So, so use of the washcloth. Do you use a brand new clean washcloth every shower? If you're using a washcloth, like, clean.
[00:39:24] Speaker A: Is like, like one that's been washed.
[00:39:27] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Every time.
[00:39:29] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:39:30] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:39:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't use washcloths.
[00:39:32] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:39:32] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Which means I have to keep like 10 of them. Yeah, yeah. So it's like. Yeah, no, I'm definitely. Yeah, it's. It's a commitment. But, you know, I feel like, I feel like it's.
I feel like it's just cleaner to me.
[00:39:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:39:52] Speaker A: Personally, I feel, I feel because, like, using the old washcloth, it's like there's got to be, like, dirt on there. And stuff. And plus, like, you know, if you leave a washcloth, like, hanging up, like, that shit can get, like, moldy and stuff, you know? Yeah, yeah. So it's like, I want to take. Take that chance. Yeah.
[00:40:13] Speaker B: You know, so, yeah, obviously, like, a loofah is out of the question, you know, Certainly.
[00:40:18] Speaker A: No, I'm not using stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not using Luther's, dude. No, no.
[00:40:23] Speaker B: So to give you the background on this one, so I'm more of just a hands guy.
[00:40:27] Speaker A: Right.
[00:40:27] Speaker B: Pump soap, you know, a bar soap. But. Yeah, but. But Austin was. Was raised to use a washcloth every single time and use a brand new washcloth. And to me, it just. That's. That's a lot.
[00:40:39] Speaker A: That's how I was raised.
[00:40:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:40:40] Speaker A: Yeah. So I was raised. You know, like I said, I'll get lazy. I usually, you know, throw a hand in there, but I'm definitely a washcloth and a new washcloth guy.
[00:40:50] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:40:51] Speaker A: Sure.
[00:40:52] Speaker B: What about aliens? Do you believe in aliens?
[00:40:56] Speaker A: You don't want to get me started on this.
[00:40:58] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:41:03] Speaker A: So yes and no.
Yes and no. And I have, like, a hot take here, I think, personally.
And not to get all, like, religious.
[00:41:19] Speaker B: Mm.
[00:41:19] Speaker A: But, you know, I have my beliefs. I'm Christian. I think that they're like a nephilim, like, fallen angel, some kind of something like that.
[00:41:32] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:41:32] Speaker A: I do think they're there, though. I mean, Congress has told us essentially, like. Yes. Yeah. They're like, it's something. So.
And, you know, so there's definitely something. What it is, I don't know. But, you know, they just had a congressional hearing, I think, like, four or five days ago, where they, like, admitted that they had biologics.
Really non human. Yeah. And, like, it's like. I don't know why nobody's talking about it.
[00:42:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:42:02] Speaker A: It just goes everybody's head. But yeah, they just admitted they're like. And they're saying that they're coming out of the water.
So they said, I'm serious. You can look this up. Like, this is like public information. They just had a congressional hearing about it, you know, but I think with the election and stuff, like, everybody's kind of, like, not talking about it. It kind of got rushed under the blanket. Yeah. But serious, you can look it up where they just had that, you know, a couple days ago, and they're like, yep, they're coming out the water. There's biologics.
Have a good day.
[00:42:33] Speaker B: I. I missed all of that.
[00:42:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:42:35] Speaker B: I didn't. I didn't see any of that. Everything's been Mike Tyson and Jake Paul here.
[00:42:40] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:42:41] Speaker B: Recently for sure.
[00:42:42] Speaker A: I think people just get distracted, man.
[00:42:43] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:42:44] Speaker A: But yeah, there's definitely something. Now fucking Bigfoot on the other hand. Firm believer 100.
[00:42:50] Speaker B: So. And there's been like, Midwest area. I mean, I think even not too far from here in Illinois, there's been like some hunters and other. Other people that have recently.
[00:42:59] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. My grandfather being one of them.
[00:43:01] Speaker B: Really?
[00:43:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Not in Illinois.
[00:43:02] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:43:03] Speaker A: He's. He had something pretty spooky happen when he was. I think he was 15, 16.
[00:43:08] Speaker B: No.
[00:43:08] Speaker A: Yeah. And they. We call it, you know, everybody's like, got like different names for it. We called it the. In Louisiana, we call it the Honey Island Swamp Monster outside Louisiana. But that's just Bigfoot. But yeah, man, he was out there in Honey island swamp. You want to hear the story?
[00:43:24] Speaker B: Absolutely, I do.
[00:43:25] Speaker A: So he was turkey hunting in Honey island swamp. And they parked the truck. It was him and a buddy.
Not probably, not gonna say names, but it was him and a buddy. We'll call his. We'll call his buddy Bob. Right. So he's with Bob.
And they parked the truck on the side of the road and walked two or three miles back there and trying to call turkeys. And, you know, you turkey hunt, you know, you typically, you know, I've got buddies that bring like fold out chairs out there. You just lean up against the tree or whatever and call them in. So they're trying to call them in or whatever, and they had one coming, runs off, they lose it, and they're like, shit. Like, all right, well, we've been out here for a while. Let's go ahead. Let's go ahead and go home. And he said that they stand up to walk out. And he's like, we hear somebody walking in the woods to the right of us. We can't see them, but we hear them. And it's not like a deer. And I'm like, how do you know it's not a deer? And it's like, because a deer is, you know, four legs. So when a deer walks, it's crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch. When something bipedal walks, it's crunch, crunch, crunch.
[00:44:40] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:44:41] Speaker A: Crunch. You know what I'm saying?
[00:44:42] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:44:42] Speaker A: So he's like, something's walking and it's. We're like, It's a person. So we holler over there and we're like, hey. So, you know, we're right here, you know, we're hunting, we have guns, whatever.
No response.
So they keep walking and it keeps crunch, crunch, crunch. And when they're stopping, it stopping. And so about the third time, they look over there and say, hey, you know, that's not funny. You need to walk out. Like, don't be walking around us like that when we have our guns.
They, I think, as the story goes, was he kind of saw it from behind the tree.
[00:45:18] Speaker B: Huh.
[00:45:19] Speaker A: And you know, poking out. And he said, you know, you're not supposed to shoot stuff if you don't know what it is.
They got scared. And he said, I just shot in the general direction, like.
And he said it let out the loudest, most horrific, like, scream he's ever heard. He said he didn't hit it, but it was like a, like a big scream. And he said, he said, we probably ran two miles in four minutes. He said, you know, he said the guy he was with, Bob, I think he quit hunting. I don't think he ever went back. And I think the scariest part of the story was my grandfather went back actually. He said like three months went by and he got pretty brave and he went back looking for it and he said he never found it. Well, he started working on a slaughter farm that was backed up on that area. For pigs.
[00:46:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:46:15] Speaker A: Later that year.
And he asked the guy that on the farm, he said, do you ever see anything weird out here? And the guy was like, define weird. And then so he kind of told him and he was like, yeah, he was like, there's three of them. He's like, he's like, I've seen them. He was like, there's a couple of them out here. Like, they're, they're here. I see them. They exist. They, like, literally, like, they, we've lost pigs to whatever those things are. And I'm like, holy shit, dude.
[00:46:44] Speaker B: Like, man size.
[00:46:45] Speaker A: Like, yeah, he said that.
[00:46:46] Speaker B: Burly.
[00:46:47] Speaker A: He said that there was one really big one.
Right. He said that the sizes were different where he could differentiate him. He said that there was one really big one, like a nine footer, one that was more like seven foot. And then there was like a smaller one.
[00:47:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:47:05] Speaker A: So, like, I don't know if that was like two, like parents and like a juvenile or whatever, but wow, as the story goes, you know, that's what he said. And so I asked him, I asked him, I said, you know, I asked him the story every year to make sure he's not gonna change it. He's been telling me this shit since I was like five. And, you know, I asked him, I say, so, like, Is it real? Like, are they real? And he'll say. He's like, you know, he said, I've never seen a dead one. Like, I've never touched one, so I can't tell you. But he said, I would tell you from the bottom of my heart to be safe when you go out there, because there's stuff out there and we don't know what it is and somebody's not being honest. And I also have an artist buddy that saw one, but that's a different story.
[00:47:52] Speaker B: They ever use, like, trail cams or anything like that to try to.
[00:47:55] Speaker A: Dude, I think if they did, I. You talking about the. The guy on the farm?
[00:48:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:48:01] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. He had pictures.
[00:48:03] Speaker B: Really?
[00:48:03] Speaker A: Yeah, he had pictures.
I asked him where the pictures were, and he said.
He said, this was so long ago. He said that films burned up in an attic somewhere, if it exists. But he even said. He was like, dude. He was like, they were some of the best photos I've ever seen. And he was like. But the thing is, like, he's like, I honestly believe, like, if. If that would have got out, the government would have came and got that shit. And he's like, that nipped that in the bud. He said it was crazy. Some of the pictures that he saw, this guy took.
[00:48:28] Speaker B: So why do you think the government would be that?
My guess, and I know the government fairly well, but would they try to hide it from us?
[00:48:42] Speaker A: I think they would try to hide it because, like you said, people see those things everywhere. Illinois, Ohio especially. I think they have a bunch of sightings in Ohio. And it's like a thing of, like.
I feel like that would severely damage the logging industry. You know, you'll be able to go out there and log. I think people, you know, because I feel like it would definitely be, like, an endangered thing for one. And for two, it's like, I feel like people would be too scared. I feel like it would cause, like, hysteria. Yeah, I don't think people would want to go out in the woods anymore. National parks fuck that up.
[00:49:14] Speaker B: Yep. You know, that's all true.
[00:49:16] Speaker A: And also, like, if they're as smart as people say they are, that's almost like, are we the top of the food chain at that point? You know? Like, how bad does that fuck that up? You know? Like, I. I think out of fear.
I think out of the sake of people's, like, fear, I don't think they would say anything. And also, money, because the world that, you know, the US government will do anything for a dollar. We know that, so.
[00:49:39] Speaker B: Absolutely.
So sitting here with Lekad, he plays cruise in Peoria tonight. I just wanted to thank you, Kaden, and carving out some time of your day hanging out here in Peoria, Illinois.
