They're like, now is that wild caught or is that farm raised? I'll take blackened the blackened McFish I'll have yeah blackened oh such a tragedy oh it's wild caught dude it says is it really no chance dude that it's wild caught oh it does hold on there is no chance dude well Luke now give them their chance look Luke this is probably legitimate information they have a JPEG with it our fish sandwich recipe features a crispy fish filet patty that's the interest filet patty is a weird term filet patty complete contradiction dude right there that's like saying dude this ribeye steak that's now a hamburger though yeah but it was a ribeye steak at one point yeah this filet mcnugget yeah really up to no good yeah it says wild caught alaskan pollock on melty american cheese and it's topped with creamy mcdonald's tartar sauce wow Next guest for the show needs to be a guy that works on the McDonald's fishing vessel.

34:17Yes. Because we need a little bit of— The McCaptain. The McSkipper, dude. Yeah, we need the McSkipper, dude. Dude, we should get to the bottom of— Is it really— Fish. Like, can we find the guy that caught my Filet and Fish, dude? My McFish. He's out there, dude. He's out there. He's in Alaska right now, dude. I don't know if he's in Alaska. The salty dog, dude, that caught that McFish, dude, is out there, man. What if I believe that the guy's ever been to Alaska? Wild caught, dude. Wild caught, though. That's the part I'm not sure of. I don't even know what we've talked about so far. But it's about fathering something.

35:00I know you have some new children, right? Yep. And I know your family moved here. I remember hearing you talk before on Joe Rogan that your family had moved to Nashville how's that been? It's been awesome I mean it's been an adjustment for them you know I mean most of my life lived in Asheville North Carolina so it's fun over there, Orange Peel we played over there before I love the Orange Peel man it's a great place, that whole town is just and also the hillside you could like just roll off of a building and end up in a damn different county almost Yeah, you could, dude. And it's – but it was an adjustment period for – especially my dad.

35:41You know what I mean? Like, I mean, all his buddies live there. Yeah. You know, but it's – I remember a buddy of mine telling me, you know, I think it's just – you know, it's the – like this whole dad's project is just all these different thought processes that happen with – you know, excuse me, the way my dad sees things and the way that I see things now and the way I see things. Maybe what was his perspective when he was doing this with me or, you know, what are my kids going to think about me or how am I going to be remembered by them? And I remember a friend of mine who wrote on this project with me.

36:17He was telling me it was his dad's 70th birthday recently and he called his dad and he was like, well, you know, old man, how's it feel? You know, and he said, well, ain't no way around it, pal. This is the ninth inning. and I just remember being like, God, like what a thought, like what a like, and it was just like, I remember like ever, I've never forgot that quote because, you know, I think that a lot of the, you know, the struggles that, you know, my dad had to come in here or it was a combination of like, okay, well he's moving on from, you know, they lived in Asheville for 25 some years, dude, in the same house.

36:56like raised me there and all these memories that are left behind and friends that are left behind and everything that you know has changed and then also coming to terms with the fact that you that you you yourself are aging and kind of like maybe that that fear of what's next or you know how long do you have like I can't imagine what that process is like but that quote stuck with me did your relationship with your dad change after you had boys you have two boys I have two boys yeah and Yeah, man. It became, you know, I had a lot more, I had a lot more understanding and grace for, you know, decisions that he made or, you know, things that maybe I did that I didn't understand.

37:39Well, why is he upset about this thing? Or why would this make him upset? Right. You know, and I've had friends in the last couple of years that have lost their dads and watching them go through that. And it's just all, it's just this constant theme of like, that's where we are in life. Like we're at this weird, like kind of turnover point where like people begin to lose their parents and then you are, you like soon you will be the oldest man in your family. Yeah. Which is a scary thought, even though I'm only 34, but like, you're like, okay, well, if I'm 40, am I like, I'm the oldest generation of maybe man that my children will know.

38:19Yeah. It's a weird thought. It's a weird thought. You know, it's just like, it's a strange. oh yeah it's a strange strange time for sure in a good way but right it's just yeah there's so many little phases you go through like uh like you you know you could be a son a brother an uncle a dad a grandpa you know there's all like these little roles and stuff that you have and yeah getting older like almost all my friends have children except me i was like i gotta get some damn children but you can't just be yelling that off your back porch you know yeah so you gotta to actually have a game plan too and get a spouse.

38:53That would be a good strategy for sure. That'd be a good start for sure. You know, it'd be a good start. Good jumping off point, I think, you know. What were some of the songs I listened to? Front Door Famous. That's awesome. Yeah, I love that. That one made me really like feel something, you know. Yeah, I love the whole thing, man. It turned out, you know, I cut the record live. So it was just like we just cut it on the floor. like me two different sessions one one evening we cut five songs the other evening we cut seven and so when you say cut it live like what does that term mean so like we would just like well let's say we're in a room like this and it's almost set up like a show in the studio and then they just hit record and play the whole thing down and like that's what you're hearing you know we did that twice for each song and then they went okay well this one's better than the other one so that's the one we're using so it's just there's no like when we normally make a record you know it's not it's more of a timed so like i think you'd have to fact check me on this but like i don't think in some ways that stapleton gets the credit he deserves because he records all of his records like that wow and it's so hard to do that dude like you have to be the artist has to be so dialed in obviously the musicians are unbelievable anyways like those that's just one take that's it yeah or or and if you mess up it's like well we got to do another take now it's not like right there's no stopping and starting there's no mixing and matching there's no mixing and matching it's all just top to bottom like you know and i would do every record if i could like that i enjoyed that process so much because like the stakes feel high you know right feels like it means something like hey man like i gotta like bring something to this take dude like it's not another sing this line six times and then if you package it together right so it separates in a lot of, dude, and I'm not, I mean, with the Stapletons of the world, like it separates the, the, the, you know, the, the strong from the weak.

40:50Like if every record had to be recorded like that, a lot of your favorite artists would not be recorded. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like it just, it takes such a level of talent and I'm not saying that I have that. I don't want to sound like that, but when you look at the crisis of the world and the other people that do that, and I mean, the studio musicians deserve so much credit, dude. I mean, those guys are wicked, dude. I mean, it is unreal how good those guys are, man. Oh yeah. Such underappreciated. I never been a studio musician, but it looks insanely hard. And it's a lot of the best people in the world, really.

41:23I would say, yeah, a lot of the best musicians in the world live in Nashville. I mean, without a doubt, and not just country singers, we're talking bass players, guitar players, drummers. And it's like a lot of them are guys that unless you live in that super niche community like you've never heard of yeah some of the best drummers in the world you've never heard of them but they play on every record that you've ever listened to i know it's kind of wild huh it's really kind of wild the limitedness that we usually know about like um the people on stage a lot of times yeah like the behind the scenes guys dude and even like my guys in my band like they're not even the guys playing on the record soon what oh because you use a different group to session Session players are a whole different thing than the studio guys.

42:06Not that those guys couldn't be both if they chose to, but most of the best session players are just session players. I mean, they go into their, I'm talking, you would just blow your mind. Like your favorite drummer's favorite drummer is a session player. Right. Your favorite bass player's favorite bass player is a session player. And those guys are just under thought of. Like if you go looked at the credits of any country album for the last 10 years, like who's playing fiddle or who's playing dobro it's the same three four cats any instrument i mean there's three four guys of any instrument that's like that's the guy you call or that's the girl you call there was probably year-round doing it huh every day they're doing it every day god i mean god we should have gotten into a different trade those guys are they're they're wild man that's what i'm thinking about so good dude yes yeah i guess being like a parent it's like you get to see like where all your parents like just things that they didn't do or that they couldn't do it makes a lot more sense yeah i mean there's so many things where you go you know you think when you're a kid right or my mom or my dad did this thing and i would never do that you know i wouldn't ever do that to my kids or whatever and you know sometimes those things end up being like yeah man i still would never do that and sometimes you go oh now i get why we had to do why they did that thing, it makes a lot of sense now.

43:25Like it, to me, it unlocks this some, at least for me, it did, you know, it unlocks some part of your brain that's inaccessible in some ways. Like once the kid that's happened, dude, it's this whole new level of like caring about something or loving something that's like, you know, it's not the same way you love your wife or your husband or whoever you love. It's a different kind of thing. and you were shocked it was that new huh yes dude it was just like you know because you hear like a whole new cord or something yeah like all those cliches dude yeah about well you wait to how fast it goes and you know yes you're gonna find out like all that cheesy shit when it rains it pours right it's all true dude like all that stuff makes so much sense like when and all their cliches because they people say them all the time because they're true yeah and it really is it's really been a wild experience.

44:19The juxtaposition too is weird. Like, cause I'm on this tour right now and you know, people are like, and I, it's no fault to anybody, but they, a lot of people don't really know what touring is like. So they kind of assume like what it was. Why do you ever see your kids? You must be gone all the time. And I'm like, dude, I'm home more days a week than I'm gone or the same amount. Like I'm home like three and a half days a week. I'm gone like three and a half days a week. So that's more than most people that work 40 hours a day get to spend. That's a good point. At home with their kids, you know, so like I get to, but it's such a weird juxtaposition to go from you go out, let's say fly to, you know, Phoenix or wherever, and you play two nights in the same stadium, dude.

45:06And the next day you're home, dude, and you're just dad and there's nobody there. I mean, we live in a two bedroom, two bathroom house. That's 2 ,100 square foot. Yeah, and the kids are what, general admission? Yeah, they're GA. They don't even pay. Well, no, they just get in free. Kids eat free, dude. So they just come in and just take the place over. Dude, that would be the best tour you could have if you had a kids eat free tour. But, dude, sponsored by Ryan's Buffet or Golden Crow, either one. Oh, yeah, that would be the best. And they should have a contest, too. What's the farthest somebody can hum a McNugget and another kid catch?

45:43like a beer Olympics but it's buffet Olympics just a McNugget there's something so American about seeing a McNugget go through the air a McNugget cannon if you could jam like a hundred in a t-shirt cannon and just blast McNuggets out into the crowd dude oh lord everybody's just catching them on their there'd be some good slow-mo shots it's like that kiss cam with the McNugget McNugget cam dude but dude that's how it's going to get I think if people if it gets so bad where people can't afford to eat or whatever then they're gonna be like the concerts will be offense yes food will be how to get people to a man got it a hundred percent man that's the thing you're gonna need yep pay for the show stay for the food yeah you know what i mean could you even imagine what a huge buffet would be like at a freaking in a stadium like if it was every kind like the world's longest buffet you know is it like it just snakes through the whole floor where yeah let's bring that up where's the world's longest buffet okay can we let's take bets all right um i'm gonna guess probably in like a midwest somewhere in the midwest okay i'm gonna guess i don't i don't know by the way i really don't know i'm gonna go with a little bit more of the orange midwest i'm gonna say china i think world's longest so world's longest world's longest because they are buffet is longest or largest is that different oh it's a good question biggest pennsylvania dude wow not it's is it midwest i think it's upper midwest feels very eastern midwest really it's lower dutch i know it's in 1962 under maple trees mr and miss henry martin sold produce along the road that was the beginning of the shady maple farm market according to Shady Maple.

47:35The largest buffet in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Shady Maple Smorgasbord. Smorgasbord. There used to be a smorgasbord in Hermitage when I lived out there. Do you remember that place? It was called... And what is it? Is this a place to eat as much as you can? It's... Yes. Well, I think... Now, this is big English language guy. Big vocab guy here. But I believe a smorgasbord means there's a lot of different kinds of food in one place. Whoa, God, that sounds insane. You know what I mean? It's not like you're making stuff up. Elite, literary knowledge. Let's see, what is smorgasbord? Self-service, luncheon, or supper offering a large variety of foods and dishes.

48:20Oh, wow. From Swedish smorgasbord above Maymill. Oh, it sounds great. Yeah, that smorgasbord. So it's just Swedish for buffet. Yeah. It's the Swedish version of buffet, dude. Yeah, why do they make it sound so crazy? Yeah, yeah. I feel like everything you want to eat is just, even that word has all, it seems like it has a lot of calories in it, just smorgasbord.

48:49What was your first car, Luke? Speaking of your car song doing so great. My first car I got was a purple Subaru Outback. Used. A lady my mom worked at got a new car, and she gave my mom a deal on it. And, dude, it was actually, dude. Purple they had. Purple. It was a deep indigo. Ooh. It was a deep indigo. It was much older than these versions you're looking at. These are way newer. This is probably a 2000 and maybe a 99, 2001, 2000 type model. There we go. That's the one, dude. There she is. Ooh. I mean, that's about the exact car. That's beautiful. Now, about three months after I got it, totaled it.

49:37Oh, come on, man. Dude, and it had, I'm talking about, I didn't realize how nice it was. Yeah. Because it had leather seats, heated seats. And I was like, but I was like, dude, I'm driving around in this like mom wagon, dude. Wrecked it. And then my parents got me a$500 Dodge Neon that had been previously totaled. Dude, look up a 2000 Dodge Neon. Base level, no automatic windows, no automatic doors, carpet seats. Oh my God, it's beautiful. Oh, there she is, dude. Probably that fourth picture on the top. It was probably, that's about exactly what I was cruising. My mother got a Dodge Neon, and me and my brother used to go sleep in it at night.

50:17We'd go sit out there and sleep in it. And it was beautiful. I would like to say that. But also, yeah, it is crazy how they will sell you, in this country, they will sell you a previously totaled. Yeah, this car has been destroyed. Somebody out there has my totaled Purple Outback right now. That's like selling somebody a dead friend or whatever. and they're like yeah but he's like he's all good now you know what i mean like now it's cool but dude that's in the past bro yeah his death was in the past you have to give him a second chance going online without express vpn it's kind of like when you leave your keys in the car at the gas station when you just i'm gonna run inside i'll just leave them in there most of the time you're probably fine but what if you come back to see someone just cruising off in your whip that's what it's like without express vpn why do you need express vpn well every time you connect to an unencrypted network which is in a hotel an airport a cafe your online data is not secure any hacker on the same network can gain access and steal your personal data super secure That's what you need to be, and that's what ExpressVPN is offering.

54:21So it's, oh, Shane Gillis has played. Are you garbage? It looks like. So we have, I was going to pop in this. All it is is really a conversation starter. Yeah. Fodder. But all the ones we've come up with. Yeah, rattle off a couple more. So it's really just, it provokes a conversation amongst friends. Let's see. Like, okay, like you take a tour of a factory. Are you garbage? Ooh. like it's a it's all just little things like that it's a great question where you're like if you let me see this one because attempting to light a fart on fire oh garbage yeah if you're a woman yeah yeah i think i think yeah if you're a guy you're an industrial engineer okay let's see what else we got if you're a guy you might be one of the right brothers i have no idea i don't want to stop your fire but oh uh you're like but yeah if you're a woman and you're indoors that's a like having crackers as like a topping on like a like a casserole trash that's simply trash yeah dude if you've ever crumpled up a couple crackers and that's like your topping on top of your your dish yeah dude if you have to also if you use a lot of toppings toppings fixings are a whole thing why is this stuff making me die but yeah if you have that much fixings dude just we but it's like trash to like buying merch from a gas station like if you buy like a clothing item from a gas station oh non-ironically right if you're like yeah what are the wonder what they got you were like man i bet they got something nice like you ever hit a loves and like there's a guy that's for a spring collection there's a guy that's unironically thumbing through the shirts and he's like oh yeah these are kind of fire you know like he's thinking like these are pretty fire shirts dude god some of these oh the trucking community this yeah a lot of the trucking community they're like oh this shirt goes with that statue and they'll always say that too yeah they always have like a lot of like it'll be like a dolphin unicorn like but single animal, merged animal.

56:32It would be like merged animal. That would be the section. It's like Liger. Yeah, yeah, like Liger. It's like... Like a centaur. Yep. Centaur, tits, and a horse body. Yep. Dude, another RU Garza is using the bathtub or a sink at a hotel as a cooler. so like putting ice in it and then like filling still like putting your drinks in the that receptacle it because if you don't use a shower at all that's the thing that's even worse yeah that's what are you you're not showering in lieu of having yes yeah just some cozy cold drinks cold it's a very spring break feel yeah like to that what did we do dude we got uh oh well my first car was 84 ford escort and somebody had oh it was beautiful well it's pretty much semi beautiful probably and yeah some and somebody had stole the passenger seat out of it right like this happened while you owned it or when you got it it had already been thieved uh when i got the vehicle i had it for like three days and somebody stole it i think it was the guy i think he didn't want to sell the whole car so he he fenced it he fenced the seat yeah he came in And it was like, you know what?

57:47I'm taking this back. I didn't mean to sell you the whole car. I wanted that seat out of there, dude. I forgot, dude. Hey, I forgot my wife told me not to sell that seat. Hey, we had our first kid on that seat, and she told me not. That's a memento. It was an 84 Ford Escort, baby. And I got, God, I paid$600 large for that thing. What color was it? Which one? Like, what's the most accurate representation? Gray, they only had, I think of the 84 hard top. Hard top, dude. Dude, how this too clean 1984 Ford Escort, dude. I'm saying hard top like there was any other fucking top on that bitch. Like a drop top.

58:34Dude, you got some coin now. Go buy an 84 Escort and chop the top off of it, dude. Get a convertible top one, dude. No, I think it's supposed to have the top on it so you can get safely to school. that's what I did in it, but somebody stole my passenger seat I had for three days. So then the crazy part was you go pick a girl up and they get in the car. In the back. But they had to get in the back through the front, like it only had... The front door. Yeah, yeah. So then again, just... Well, at least you didn't have to flip the seat up. Yeah, so that part was actually nice, but then if somebody wanted to be right by you, they'd have to get right on their knees.

59:07Yeah, so they could just... But it's like built-in, like lounger, though, kind of. That's true. They just want to sit in the back and chill. For girls... Like a king vibe. For girls, girls didn't like it. Yeah, probably I could see that. Yeah, girls are like, I don't know what's happening. They were like, man, this car is like really trashy. And you were like, no, it's cool, dude. I love it. I love this car. God, dude. And then one time it got T-boned outside of this, I think, place called Isidore's or something. Some little sandwich shop, Iggy's or something. Smorgasbord. Yeah, smorgasbord. Yeah, smorgasbord.

59:44fucking bird snacks baby but yeah so and i got t-boned and then after that i was dating this cute girl but every time i'd go to her house i would try to hide the car at an angle it was so banged up now where like almost the angle she'd walked and get in she wouldn't really be able to see all the damage the damage my neon used to um when i would stop the radiator would leak a little bit so like if i wasn't driving like the radiator like there was a lit it was like that like kind at that rubberized like top or the on the radiator tube there and it had just the littlest crack in there and me and my dad we tried to fix it a million times but it would get so hot that like no matter what you put over it wouldn't stick like all the best like loctite bond and all that stuff like the heat would get it so it would like spit stuff out of it and then that would get on like the engine block and so anytime i would stop it would just smoke a just a little bit dude so i'm already like spending my last two dollars really i was spending my last two dollars buying fish tacos at you know long john silvers anyways i'm already embarrassed with myself and then like they're like if there was anybody that you would see and you're in the drive-thru waiting to get your two dollar tacos and your car is like smoking and they're like dude maybe and they look at you and you're 300 pounds dude and they're like probably shouldn't be getting these tacos you know yeah i guess like they're like just fix the car man like dismiss a couple tacos like you're gonna be fine yeah yeah at a certain point dude you gotta look at the scale of justice just do you need baja fish tacos you don't dude it's like the mcfish do you don't need it you know what i mean when she ordered it though and you would see other people in the distance look over at us when she ordered it and shit and i'd be so ashamed i'd be like but it was wild caught though so it's fine yeah i don't know where it seemed like they i would say yeah it seemed like outdoor caught some of it it was kind of darker some of the fish but out in caught in nature it would be like a better caught in the wild caught out i think it said coerced it said on the side it wildly coerced i'm like i don't know if this is good fish or not um and do you take any good trips recently man you've been anywhere fun for vacation for vacation gosh dude i hadn't been we hadn't been on like a real vacation and like me and the wife i mean we haven't gone on vacation i mean we got two we have had two kids back to back dude so we're like do they sleep in y 'all's room y 'all's children no we have we just the youngest one he just left our room in my month or two ago so our boys share a room right now oh that's fun huh so it's i mean you know if they were older i think it'd be fun but i think now they're just kind of like how can i keep the other one awake like they don't really know what they're doing or why they're doing it yeah like one of them's always making noise and the other one's like looking and like our ones like he can't even Like he's just now able to kind of like pull himself up.

1:02:49So he's like a fall risk just all the time. Yeah. He's like in the crib and he's like trying to look at the other one because he's rattling the blinds. Right. It's like they're always doing something. It seems like a band that's on drugs or something. Yeah, it kind of is like that. Some of the stories. To think back on it, you know, some of our guys have probably done some similar things. I've been matching them on the road at times, dude. You know? Oh, my God. But it's – we haven't gone – I mean, we – gosh. man i mean i've been it feels like i've been all over the world in the last couple years but like that's just going on a vacation i know it's hard to find a spot and really get in and be like all right let's go do it yeah and it's like it's weird too because like you know vacation for me is like getting to be home like that feels like vacation to me yeah but then like my wife is home a lot with the kids and stuff so she does want to like make like get away and go somewhere and do something and it's like you know finding that time where you know i don't feel like i'm traveling somewhere every week and going back and forth yeah stuff can burn you up man you know it's just it's a wild it's a wild thing man right now we're just in this weird balance because of the kids right now because they're so small and there's nothing you can do you have to take care of them every day 100 like i mean that's wow that's the number one thing dude i mean there is no you know the kids don't care about the state they don't know anything and do they rate you guys or anything like how do you know there's there is a complaint box or is yeah do you guys like get an email every week from there.

1:04:14Like, how do you know how you're doing? You don't, they're alive. If they're still, if they're still alive and kicking dude, at this point you're doing pretty good job. There's not, there's not somebody that comes when they're like three years old and gives you like a performance review. Just like somebody should. Well, you know what I, we were saying this when we had our first kid, we walked out of the hospital and I'm like, dude, we had this kid two days ago. And bro, I gotta take a test to drive a car, dude. and they'll just give you a human life. Like, all right, dog, here you go. Don't matter who you are, what your background is.

1:04:55There's no questions asked really, dude. Yeah. They're just like, hey, man, like, you'll be good, man. Like, your parents figured it out. Oh, yeah. Especially if you want a mixed kid, they'll just hand you one down there a lot of these places. I'm like, all right, this is great. It's a Wild West, dude. The kids thing is like. it's a wild west man it's that it's like there is no i you know i read all the like wow to be a how to be a rodeo daddy or whatever how to be uh you know eight seconds with my son right yeah the wildest 18 years of your eight second life you know it's like but yeah parenting and fishing you're like is that a magazine like that seems how how parenting is like noodling you know it's like Yeah.

1:05:42Yeah. Just stick and pray, baby. You know what I mean? It's a wild ride, man. But the dad thing was really fun to do. And that's just where my head's been recently. And do you start to think like, hey, we got to get this third or fourth or fifth child out of the way now? Or do you start to strategize it? I mean, the deadlines do feel looming, right? Like if you want to have, you know, I mean, because every time you have a kid, it's like it starts over. Like the whole like, okay, well now it's like when we don't have kids is 18 years from now, now again. Right. Again, we just restarted the clock.

1:06:20Restart. It's like going back to jail. You have kids. Like a loving jail with other people you care about. Like the best jail ever. Yeah. It's like, but it does. It's such a. The best jail ever. That's one of the songs on the new album. On Chainmail Children, dude. Yeah. The best jail ever. Yeah. Work pen, dude. Yeah. they should have the best jail ever but i don't and we think about it's like well how you know then you think about how close do i want the kids to be to each other right like how you know how does it where it's what's tour look like next year is it gonna be extra busy or we have a light year like it's weird to think about that stuff because at the end of the day you're talking about like potentially like a person right that will be like a live doing like that will have an entire life You know, and so like, I don't know, I often wonder, you know, I often, not fantasize is the wrong word, but like think about, you know, it just being like being like my kids' parents is like, I almost worry about them like finding out what I do in some ways.

1:07:26You mean dance at night? Yeah. Like we have like put on a nice vinyl, you know, dancing a living room. Wouldn't that be great if that's what you meant? Yeah. Like I just don't want them to know. That I dance. That's when I was all occasionally dancing. Classically trained. Yeah. I'll dance for their mother in the evening. So big boy ballerina. You know what I mean? Yeah. I guess I wonder how kids, you know, cause it is so tough. You see so many kids that are somehow traumatized or face some sort of like by right. Like their parents, just the by-product of their parents being in the limelight, especially maybe in, I don't know if especially in music, maybe not especially, but just in the limelight.

1:08:03Yeah. I think about it a lot, you know, cause I go, you know, I don't like, and it's, it's going to sound weird. It's like, you almost wish they could just not know in some ways and not because I don't want them to know. That's not what I'm getting at. It's like, I almost just want them to be like naive to the whole thing for as long as is humanly possible. Yeah. Like I want them to, the only thing they're worried about is like riding bikes and playing trucks and, you know, riding around on the Polaris with mom and dad. I don't, but there gets to a point like, you know, as soon as like school is looming like you know i've got some other artist buddies that have kids and they're like well you got to tell them or somebody else is going to tell them it's almost like telling your kids there's no santa or something like it's like the opposite of that it's like the opposite of that like telling your kids there is a luke combs right yeah and it's like you i don't want them to like ever i don't want my kids to ever think of me that way like sure i want them to be really that was good some of his early stuff i like better but i still love The last couple albums were just garbage, dude.

1:09:06Once he had us, they just really stunk. Dude, imagine if that happened to a kid where their dads, their sales weren't as good after they had children. And they were like, me and my buddies have the golf theory, dude. Once you start playing golf, it gets bad? No. Well, for sure, I think for me at least. But it's once like the great golfers, once they have kids, it gets harder. To maintain, like, because the amount of, like, practice and stuff that they have to do. I mean, I don't, I know next to nothing about being a professional golfer, by the way. This is just a guy who watches golf and, like, wishes that he could do golf.

1:09:46Yeah, I always pretend like something came up and my friend's asking to go play golf or something. You're like, sorry, man, I gotta. I gotta go do something. I gotta go vote. I'll even say that. Yeah, and they're like, what? And you're like. You're like, yeah. Yeah, they're voting for the comptroller. City comptroller Just practice him for the big game in November Big thing I was having a practice Super Bowl party tonight So I actually can't I wanted to make sure the Super Bowl party would be good But it's not I have a run through Have you played the Super Bowl yet? No There hasn't been a country artist in the Super Bowl In a long time Who was the last one?

1:10:29It was a big medley of people. I believe it's Clint Black, Travis Tritt, Shania, Tanya Tucker. Wow. It was like a bunch of country artists that did like a big medley thing, I believe. Now there's been a bunch of artists that have done the anthem. Right. But as for the halftime show, there hasn't been one since you'd have to look it up, the mid-90s. Reba McIntyre's coming up. The anthem, though. You mean like the actual halftime show. So it's been, it only happened one time. Only one time ever? Yep. Wow. That seems unreal, huh? So it's Shania Twain, Gwen Stefani, and Sting. Okay, so Shania was different than the other medley thing.

1:11:18Right. So they had Shania. Twice. Yeah, so twice ever. I would imagine that at some point, Taylor Swift has to do it at some point. Oh, it's a good point. But I don't know if that would still be – I don't know if that would start as a considered a country artist now doing that. It's kind of universal. But to think a guy like Garth's never done it. I know. A guy like George Strait's never done it. You know, like so many of these guys. Oh, yeah. I've watched Garth sing it. You would think, you know. Have you gotten to spend much time with Garth ever? I have. Not a ton of time, but we've spoken many times.

1:11:52I was like, I took my band out to see his show out in Vegas. I was out there. I was playing like a private event, and it didn't start until like 1130 or something, like super late night. It was like a birthday party thing. And so, you know, we got to Vegas like in the morning. So I'm like, what the hell do we do all day? So I start looking stuff up, and I'm like, oh, my gosh, Gar's playing, and tonight is doing his show. Got to see it. So I'm like, and the band, like I told the band, I was like, I hit my manager up. I was like, hit up Garst folks and see if we can maybe get some tickets. And, you know, so, man, yeah, he came in, dude.

1:12:29We got over there. And, dude, he came in and said hey to the band. And, like, the band had no idea we were going to meet him at all. Because, like, dude, my band guys are, like, and a couple of them's from Oklahoma and stuff. Yeah, they love him. They probably have drawings of him at home. And so 100 % they do. But he came in and talked to everybody. Dang. Got us great seats. They let us come in, like, because, you know, those shows, there are like no phones or whatever i think like a lot of the vegas stuff you can't have your phone or something yeah um so yeah because they don't want to yeah i think they don't want anybody having their phone to like see so they can't like record stuff people sell it like streams right vietnam yeah all kind of stuff yeah so they let us come in like right when the lights went down they like brought us in because like i was like hey man i want to come but there's no like at those theaters there's not really like suites or like backstage right you don't want to take away from his attention Yeah, I'm like, hey, man, I just want to come in, just sit this thing and not – It's weird.

1:13:27I tell people, I'm like, man, I don't really like being the center of attention, as weird as that is, considering what I do. It makes me really uncomfortable. When people make a big deal about me being at stuff – Oh, baby, yeah. And I'm just like, oh, gosh, man. I don't really try to not think about myself that way. Yeah, well, it's interesting, yeah, because if you start thinking about yourself that way, I think it's almost better to try and purposely not think of yourself that way. Yeah, for sure. Almost like, let me add in some things that would seem a little bit more normal. You know, I got this cyber truck, and that was being kind of a nightmare because it's fun to drive, but it's just too much attention, you know?

1:14:02I saw it. And then I'll be hiding in it, and I'm just... Do you like it, though? It's fun. Yeah? But it's quiet, too. It's like pixelated. It looks pixelated, you know? Yeah, it feels like you just travel. Literally, it feels like you'll press the gas, and you'll wake up in damn August, dude. Yeah, you're gone. And it's like instant torque in those things, too. You are in the future. You could go zero to 60 in like two seconds, and that thing just goes. And half a yawn, brother, you'd be over there. Damn, get you there quick, bro. I got an electric Polaris, dude, and it's the same thing. It cooks, huh?

1:14:41It absolutely crushes. But it doesn't smell like gas, dude. My car used to have loose gas in it, I remember, when I was in high school. Yeah. My second vehicle, it was a Ford Jimi. GMC Jimi. Yeah, GMC Jimi. GMC Jimi. Actually, I think it was a GMC Ford Jimi. It was a merger. Yeah. Welded together vehicle. It was previously owned. Yeah. Yeah. Previously totaled. You know? Yep. Do you, are there parts that like, because once you get to a certain level of just being known, you can't, there's, you can never kind of go back to some of those just like, it's weird in life. Sometimes it feels like you'll be able to go back and you can't.

1:15:29Right. You can't get back. Like just how you felt at the time. Sure. Sure. You know? Yeah. And it's like, I guess it's just life. Do you ever feel like, like in this, I, I, I don't know much about the world of comedy other than just being a fan of, it but like is you ever get sometimes where you're like man you kind of like saw how the sausage was made a little bit and you're just like man like you saw behind the curtain a little bit you know i'm saying like you haven't heard you've heard that seeing behind the curtain seeing how the sausage is made you know what i mean you know what i'm saying dude yeah you do do you mean like You've heard that.

1:16:07Seeing how movies and TV and music are made. Yes. Oh, 100%. Yes. You know? Like, if you saw how they made a hot dog, you probably wouldn't want to eat a hot dog. You know what I'm saying? If I saw how they make hot dogs, I would, A, call Child Protective Services. But I feel like sometimes the entertainment business can be that way. Oh, I agree. Where you're like, man, you know, it just loses that, like. It loses that thing, the magic. Right. like the shine or the whatever is like, you know. Oh, there's something wonderful about sitting at home just thinking like, man, what it would be like to be on this thing, like the voice or like a show, you know, like, but then you don't realize if you are on that, like all this, just like you see all the behind the working.

1:16:54So it's still part of a dream, but it doesn't have the same look as if you're just like just viewing it, you know? Yeah. You lose, you just lose a lot. Well, I just like, I can't even like, and you're, You may be this way with comedy and stuff, but I can't even consume music the way I used to. I'm constantly not critiquing it, but I'm looking at it through a different lens. Through business, more lens, different things like that. I'm like, man, well, this is so good because this thing and that. Before, it was just good. Yeah. The song was just good or the artist was just good. It wasn't like, well, this guy, he's playing this character or this girl is really great at this one vocal.

1:17:35technique thing it's like you did any almost like when you don't know why it's good it's better you know what i mean oh yeah dude and now sometimes i'm like now i can you read the ingredients now right and i'm like oh it's good because this thing happened or that thing happened or you know yeah things were says yeah everything had a little bit more magic in it before you knew what was going on yeah and it's you'd love to be able to kind of get that to be able to recapture that yeah it would be you know and there's moments i mean you know i mean dude it's still the best i mean we're still living our dream in a lot yeah you know in almost every way possible i am you know so i have zero complaints really about about my life dude but it's just you you want you kind of like you can't help but evolve you can't recapture that right yeah you just can't yeah you can never kind of go back to where you were that time that like the chase like the the being excited about being where you are now yeah that's half the fun is like trying to get there and trying to figure out how to get there and doing everything it takes to get there is like a lot of the enjoyment of the process yeah and yeah they always say that but you don't really realize it while it's going on yeah for sure and then all of a sudden you realize there's you can't what you can't recapture it you're like dang and i didn't i wish i would have bottled that up somehow a bit better or done that more do you think though like do you look at because you've gotten have a great trajectory just a great career you just you know you've worked hard and you've also been fortunate right yes very much so so how do does it get to be like well what else is there to shoot for kind of like does that kind of become a and not like in a net like a just curious like how do you find a motivation if you're do you feel like it could be a trap like oh i don't want to lose motivation here because things have gone so well yeah for for sure man because you you know you kind of get to this place where you're like, man, I feel like I've done, you know, a lot of the stuff that I feel like I can do almost like as far as achievements go or whatever it may be.

1:19:36And yeah, you think, you know, you have to do as much work or more work than you've ever done to stay in that place. As the word before, if you're doing that amount of work, you're constantly moving towards a goal. Right. Right. It's like, if you work all this time to climb Mount Everest and say it's so hard, you know, you've got to cross the crevasses and do all these different things to make it to the top. Well, it's like once you get there, you need oxygen just to even breathe while you're up there. And so it may take a higher toll on your body to stay at the top than it does to come back down or than it did to even get up there.

1:20:15And so it feels like it can have – there's somewhat of like a hamster wheel feel to it. But, like, when you get to this certain level because you're like, man, I'm working so hard just to, like, compete against, A, the other guys that are up here, too, and all the other people that are coming up to the top as well. Like, you're, like, you're doing all this work to stay. Well, do I want to – do I have to continually try to, you know, compete with this guy and this guy? And there's other people going, we're coming, dude. And we're ready to just, this is Sparta, your ass off the top of this thing if we get the chance.

1:20:53God. So they're like. They'd be scared. It's like there's always that next. But that's, again, dude, it comes back to growing up with your fan base and just growing yourself is learning that nobody stays at the top forever. And it's okay to not be at the top. It's okay to, you know, you shouldn't be scared of the fall because you can build these things in your life, these, you know, these kind of soft places to land being your family, your friends. Right. Things that really matter. The things that when you're 80 years old, would you rather have spent more time with your kids or made another album that was successful?

1:21:35I feel like a lot of people would choose to be with your kids or have gone on another trip with your wife or went fishing with your dad again or went golfing with your buddies one more time or go hunting with your friends or whatever. Those are the experiences that ultimately will come to be the defining moments of your life. You know what I mean? Your career achievements, yeah, they're really great, and you should be really proud of them. And I'm insanely proud of everything I've done. And I will continue to work hard to be the best I can be. But I'm also not afraid of knowing that one day people are going to be like, damn, dude, that some bitch is old, dude.

1:22:13And you talk about washed up, dude. Like that's going to happen to me at some point. Right. Like, oh, look at him. Yeah, he's over there. Right. Look at this. Look at this old cat. Look at this. I can't. Yeah. Yeah. Drinking gasoline or whatever. I'll say like all that. Guys, that's not even him. That's just some guy that looks like Luke Combs, you know? There's a lot of those. Nobody's ever had so many people look like him at one time on one planet, I don't think. Dude, 100%. Bro, that's for sure. I mean, there is. I've got a, there's like a stat sheet thing. And so, not really a stat sheet, but there's like a, if you're 5 '8 to 6 '8 and you're 200 pounds to like 600 pounds and you have like the Amish style beard, people are like, dude, you look.

1:22:59just like me, dude. And there's male or female. 100%, dude. And they'll be in the meeting group like, dude, everybody says I look like you. I'm like, bro, you are 6 '8". Yeah. And you're like 180 pounds. You don't look anything like you. We don't look anything like each other. But there are some good ones, though. There are some good ones. But there's a lot of people that are desperate to look like you as well. I think there's a lot of people. Oh, my God, that's not you? Yeah. There's a lot of them, dude, that are good. there's some really good ones out there man you've got to adopt one or how old did that have to be to get adopted dude is this guy's doing like a kind of a promo shot here i haven't seen a lot of these yeah some of the that's like a remake of that promo photo that's like you and me merged in one look at the one second one to the right no left left right yeah that's my nose your face or somebody.

1:23:58I don't know who that is. Yeah, it's a lot of closeted Amish or Luke Brown. Sorry, or Luke Combs. Amish, dude. A lot of closeted Amish. Yeah. You think that closeted Amish is such an interesting... Well, the craziest part is the one guy who he was like... There used to be a show. It was like Amish something Amish. Something Amish. And they... Something Amish. This one dude.

1:24:26kept like mowing his grass he had to use that old school cutter that's like the spinning thing and he's like this sucks i was adopted i'm not even supposed to be amish he said supposed to be was it escaping amish or breaking um uh escaping or breaking breaking amish yeah and he's like i'm not even supposed to be amish i was adopted like damn dude sucks to be you dude i feel like the amish that's a tough pull dude that'd be hard yeah I think there would be but they don't get autism in their communities there's a a lot of is that a thing health benefits of being Amish yeah look up the health benefits of being Amish health benefits of being Amish and you get think of the things that would be fun I bet sneaking off and talking to a girl would be unreal oh it would be sick dude you'd be like like meet me over there in that area unconscious behaviors are considered the norm less tobacco less alcohol less salt more vitamin and mineral supplements And by less, they mean no tobacco, no alcohol, right?

1:25:27I mean, I'm sure they're not allowed to have that. Yeah, I think prayer, like praying fast is like kind of their booze. Like a quick. This is my way home. I have no idea what that is. I'm looking. I love this. I don't know what it is. Maybe just close the window. Dude, a phantom ad. There's this phantom ad that's playing right now, dude. What did, what will you guys do for Father's Day, man? Dude, so talk about how kids change your life. My first son was born on Father's Day. Wow, so it's his birthday. Well, it won't be every year his birthday, but same weekend or within a day or two for sure every year.

1:26:06Wow, that's cool. So I'm sure it will just be like, oh, yesterday was Tex's birthday, and then the next day is Father's Day, and they'll be like, oh, cool, man. Like, thanks. Thanks for your sperm, yeah. Yeah, cool, dog. Appreciate it. I know. Like, yeah, we're going to get you something, but we're all tired from, like, Texas birthday. stuff so we didn't get anything like you're tired from a two-year-old birthday yeah sorry oh yeah i remember one time buying drugs at a one-year-old's birthday it was like one of the low points of my life did you buy it from the was the one-year-old no just an associate that was there friend of his yeah friend of the one-year-old dude yeah yeah he got he'd fallen in with a couple two and a half year olds Yeah, I had a couple of side men, dude.

1:26:53You know what I mean? One of them had taken things to another level. Yeah, what else was I thinking about? Dude, I took a fucking, I took like a, one of those like CBD gum or something like that. My brain has been rocked. Has it? Dude, I took a straight up CTE fall yesterday. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Off of what? A little scrambled dude today too. Really? Were you all swimming or something? Yeah, we were pooling it, but we were in the yard, like in the grass. Like we had one of those like splash pads out. Oh, yeah, those are nice. The kids were out like splashing around it and stuff. And I was wearing these like super dad like moccasin shoes.

1:27:35Like they're just like leather bottom. Yeah. And so they literally don't have tread. Like it's like walking on a marble on the bottom of your feet or something. Yeah, I've seen those. Those always seem like you're not sure what this guy's going to be like when you see him. And they're insanely comfortable, but it rained so much the last couple days. So my yard is like – I mean, our house is from probably the 60s or something. Oh, wow. So when they built the house, there wasn't the same kind of grading, permitting that goes on now. So the house kind of sits on this hill, but the back – it's just a small hill, but the backyard is all kind of sloped down towards the house.

1:28:13And then right before they built the house, there's just a little bit more of a slope. as to where now they would kind of have to grade it out. Right, they'd smooth it out. And smooth it out. Back then, those bitches were a little choppy. Yeah, they were just like, whatever, just pop the house anywhere. And so I'm walking down in the moxies. My kid was in this flash pad, dude, and he was like, we got him this little slide and we put him down there and it scared him and he's crying. I'm like, oh, you're good, dude, it's cool. I was like, do you want to see that? I jump in the big pool because we have a little pool.

1:28:44Oh, yeah, you got to do a trick for a kid. And he was like, yeah, man, he's like, dude, cheer him up. so I go to go down the hill dude I'm in the moccasins and just dude both of my feet just go and I'm talking about dude I hit the ground like on my back so like the way the hill is like the flushest you could ever hit something oh wow it was like my entire back hit the ground at the same time perfectly lined up boom and I was just like I mean I just remember sitting up and I just sat there and my my wife and my two kids are behind me I can't see them I'm just like and I knew I was like this could be serious because my wife isn't even laughing like she wasn't like you idiot like you fell I just kind of sat there for a second and was like and just kind of processed like am I, is everything fine?

1:29:32Like am I cool? Can I get up from this? And then my wife was just like you okay? And I was like yeah I'm good just kind of yeah but it's kind of felt like getting like you know i played football in high school or whatever so it kind of felt like getting like just absolutely blindside blocked like i mean just rattling yeah i mean luckily the ground was soft because it was so wet and stuff but but yeah i had just hit flush there's moments as an adult when you hit when you get hurt and you're like dang you're like dude i'm not doing good yeah you're like man this is yeah 15 20 years from now this would be a huge issue we would have a big problem dude well a lot of grandparents go missing even if there's like just a slippery floor or whatever yeah you know to get a skid steer out on me in a couple years from now dude imagine somebody's opening a can of peaches to make a pie or something they spill some peach syrup onto the ground just pop pop comes motoring through later oh okay to get in here yeah to get him a couple saltine crackers he's got the moccasins on.

1:30:36He's got the mockies on, dude. Yeah, he's mocked up. And he just slips out. ACL goes on the way. Both of his knees. And he just... Yeah, that's brutal, dude. I never... Yesterday, it was the first moment where I was like, I'm good, but man, this could have been a not-good situation, dude. You know what I mean? It could have been not good, dude. It's risky now, dude. You don't know who's what. You just don't know what's going on. Slippery out there in those markets. Well, it's just what did I see you had done? A gender reveal? Was it something I saw? Oh, I've done a few. Yeah, done a few. Yeah, do you guys get some big requests for stuff like that all the time?

1:31:19I'm sure. A lot of them are just like people in the crowd will have like signs. Like, do this gender reveal. And I'm like, oh, my gosh. Like, you're there. Like, they're here like with the envelope. Like, they've waited this whole time, dude. I always try to ask, what is it? Was it your first kid? I think we're going to go boy. Justin, what do you think is going to be? Oh, that girl. That guy's a pervert, huh? Come on, guy.

1:31:53Massey, is this you on the sticks here? Filming this?

1:31:59Yeah, dude. It's kind of nerve. It's like a big moment. Oh, for sure. if you find out if your kid is going to be cool or not. Yeah, that's crazy. I always think what if the kid hated country music later on in life? For sure, and uses that as a thing. And that was their gender reveal, and you're like, dude, I hate that guy's music. Stinks, dude. That guy did my gender reveal? That was the plan, dude? that would be brutal but dude look bro at that time we could be online doing gender reveals on cameo for people you know what I'm saying like who knows there's no way that's a real thing people do gender reveals on cameo all the time now I saw one where they got the guy I feel like it was the lead singer of Sugar Ray to like break up with their girlfriend it was wild dude there's some wild cameos Dude, that's when Fly, remember that song?

1:33:02Oh, just one.

1:33:07That song is around forever, bro. Here it is, dude. Woman, I'm sure a front man, dude. Let's see it, dude. A lot of people that are just coming out of the closet now, it's adults just doing gender reveals. People are like, what? Go back to work. The message was bought on the app called Cameo, which lets you pay celebrities to send you a message to your phone. What is up, Brayden? It is Mark McGrath from the band Sugar Ray. Off the charts, but always in your hearts. And this cameo was so much. This is crazy. Okay, so he looks like the Home Alone's brother. Buzz? Buzz, your girlfriend, whoop. He looks like Buzz if Buzz got some facial reconstructive surgery, I feel like.

1:33:57Dude. But what did he do? Nothing? It looked like they were overdubbing it. We can watch all the way through, but the news guys were just going to talk. Oh, you break up with a boyfriend? Yeah, he broke up with a boyfriend. Yeah. To break up with her. So a girl hires him to break up with her boyfriend. That's demon level. Yeah, it's pretty demon, man. That's demon stuff there. I'm trying to think of the first one. I wonder if it was like his favorite band, too. Like, was it an uber personal? Sugar Ray, you mean? Was it like, dude, my boyfriend always loves Sugar Ray, so I'm hiring the lead singer to break up with him.

1:34:27Like almost just to make him like hate the band or something. Like, was it really dark in that sense? Like if you love Doritos or whatever. And you could hire Doritos. And you could hire like Jerry Cool Ranch or whatever. Break up with your girlfriend. Or you wrote it out in like bags of Doritos. It's like, I'm breaking up with you. But like, how did they decide on the lead singer Sugar Ray? Was the question, was it a question of affordability? I don't know. It's a good question. Are you like, hey, I was going to do Hulk Hogan. Right, I was going to do Hulk Hogan, but there's a sale over here.

1:35:01There's a sale at Sugar Ray. Yeah, there's a sale at Sugar Ray for the next 30 minutes. The next 30 minutes. Breakups are half off on Mark McGrath's cameo. God, that's crazy. That's even a thing now. It used to be Valentine's. You sent somebody something positive. And now it's like, watch me ruin this lady's heart. I love how he said, off the charts, but forever. in your hearts dude that's such a great that's such a great line dude that is a good song that guy's looking beautiful a lot of men sometimes they get they'll look so beautiful they look like women sometimes too you know he definitely he's definitely aged gracefully oh he will be a hot chicken two or three years there's no doubt there's a lot of people they just run that game the full circle yeah it's not it's not a it's not over here it's this big circle oh it is a yeah they're just spinning around oh definitely there's a lot happening it's beautiful what um the hair is quaffed it's good the hair is good man um so is it whenever you start a new album do you then have to go tour it after is that kind of how it goes or is it um i think traditionally that's how a lot of folks do it this album it feels like a lot of ways non-traditional in the sense of like it started out as just kind of this like you know wild idea of like i had written a couple of these dad songs that i really liked and i was like man i feel like you know these three of these songs are really great i love them but i was like but i have to like choose one if i'm gonna do a record because like you can't put a record out and then it's like oh there's like three or four dad sounds like we get it dude we've heard right my god and i was like whoa would it makes sense to like to do something that's i don't want to say side project that's not the right term because it is me it is my stuff but like i hate the word concept album because like it feels like that's too smart for something that i'm capable of doing right like someone that makes a concept album to me is like martians or whatever super it's like genius level musician and i'm not that at all but it's like uh it's like a cornbread concept album okay i like what i mean like um but But it's just, I was like, well, if I made a whole record of just these songs, you know, and then I got like, like a lot of my buddies, we're all the same age.

1:37:20So they're having kids. So, you know, they're, you know, they've got aging parents too. And so all these themes are running through all of our lives. And so they would start sending me little clips because, you know, they knew I had kids or whatever. And so they'd send me a star to something and I go, God, man, I really love that. I'd love to like get together, work on that or whatever. And next thing you know, I ended up with, you know, a whole record full of these songs. And I was like, we should just record these and like just do a project that's just, you know, so it's like it's my next record, I guess.

1:37:51But it also doesn't feel like my next record, if that makes sense. Like, it's not like if you want to listen to all my other records, it's not logically the next step from like where you would think that it would go. It's just kind of like where my life has taken me. Like sonically, it's very like I said, we recorded it live. So it's very traditional country-sounding stuff because it's all just live instrumentation. There's a lot of fiddle. There's a lot of dobro. It's very natural sounding. It sounds groovy. I mean, I'm willing to listen to maybe six or seven songs or something. But it's definitely got its own vibe to it.

1:38:30Always Leaving, what's that one? Oh, yeah, All I Ever Do Is Leave. That's a hammer song, dude. God dang, brother. I'm glad that song is brutal, dude. All hot mown eyes in my ass, dude. I've definitely got some problems, but yes. There's some good ones on there, man. Sometimes I think it's easier for people to leave than stay, man. I see that. Some people, they know they can't change themselves, and so they'd rather leave somebody and eliminate themselves from the situation. Dude, that's crazy, man. Yeah, that's for sure, man. It happens all the time, dude. It happens all the time. God, dude. But, yeah, when I was a kid, country music, they had this thing called Crying, Loving, or Leaving.

1:39:14You'd call the radio station. Okay. And you'd tell them if you were crying, they'd be like, are you crying, loving, or leaving? And you had to tell what was happening in your life. And then they'd play a song. Yeah, Dorothy Stole My Car Tires or whatever. Wow. And then you'd be like, all right, well, you know, and you'd be like, I'm loving. There it is, dude. It's still there. Tell her this song. That was it. 107.7 Crying Loving or Leaving and that was it you'd call in there and then they'd play some of them you'd have to wait and see dude that's wild that's a pretty cool title though it was pretty good man and you sometimes yeah you're like this is for Tiffany she's passed on and they'd be like oh I'm so sad and you and Tiffany would be sitting there howling laughing laughing about it one of my favorites is the some of my favorite radio skits is the John Cena one dude oh yeah you know what I'm talking about yeah where he's just they're spamming that lady with the uh like WWE pay-per-view it's like a phone call yeah and it's this it's some telemarketer play it up it's a long play dude hello I have just one question for you are you ready am I ready for what who's this are you ready for this Sunday night with WWE champ John Cena the music and this goes on they continue to call this woman back and she stays on there no she hangs up a bunch of times and they call her back dude and she gets she's like we're not no there is not any chance in hell that we're ever gonna have wrestling in this house again but thank you but no because the husband called and said, hey, my wife, we bought this pay-per-view.

1:41:01And our son destroyed something and she got really pissed off. And goodbye to anyone standing in John Cena's way. Takes on six men in a steel cage, shoots a ladder flat at WWE. Dude, there's one they say, spit-swapping makeup, make-out match, dude. It gets to the point where at the end they skip to like, dude, she gets pissed, dude. She has an attitude problem She gets mad dude I'd say probably this mark somewhere She needs to get some vitamin D probably It can mess with her cortisol There's one where Hang up the phone No she hangs up a bunch of times And they continue to call her back dude And then This lady has CTE I think Are you talking about the one where they fake being someone else There's a point where they get And this lady when she picks up She's like, stop calling.

1:41:59And this is like, ma 'am, ma 'am, ma 'am. She's like, I have a quick question. Do you support our troops? She's like, oh, my God. I'm so embarrassed. These people had been calling me or whatever. And they were like, and she was like, yes, I support the troops. And she was like, because an American hero needs your help, dude. It's a former Marine. And she's like, really? His name's John Cena. She loses her mind, dude. it's quite the troll dude that's the shorter version but it's got this weird video oh the shorter version with one of those weird TikTok videos why do kids do that now it's just like a video of them playing Grand Theft Auto yeah it's like a video of them going along with videos it just keeps people engaged without them having to do anything dude that's crazy it's like psychology level yeah it is it's like oh watch this yeah maybe watch this car bounce down the road dude Oh, this is it.

1:42:57This is the one. All right, let's see it. Well, this at least has the audio. So at the start of this one is the audio of the fourth time they call her, when she's like, hey, do you support our troops or whatever?

1:43:15But the videos, they're mind-numbing. Yeah. I swear to Jesus, this is those wrestling f***s again. Okay, good morning. Hi, I'm just calling this morning to ask if you're a supporter of the United States military. Oh, my God. I apologize. We've been getting calls all morning. I apologize. And yes, I am. Great. Are you a supporter of the Marine Corps? Yes, absolutely. Good. Absolutely. Because a former decorated member of the United States Marine Corps needs your support. And his name is John Cena. Yeah. What's up? Are you kidding me right now? Dude, whoever did that prank, that's an elite level.

1:43:59I guess at least no matter what, we could always just make TikToks, you know? Yeah, because all we need is like stock video game. Like mod a video game and just do stock videos of a car like falling out of the sky. Well, I've had a vision for years that it's going to come down to everybody's going to be in like gig economy. and people are going to be like holding each other at good point to be each other's uber fairs so to be like two uber drivers both of them need to make money though yeah she's like you'd be my fair you know that's what it's going to come down to dude i always think of irobot when they're just in the like the floating i never saw it or no wally have you seen wally oh yeah i love wally you can watch it in spanish too the titanic the like space titanic and they're all in the chairs with like the vr headsets on and they just they're all like 800 pounds i haven't seen it i was like man it's it's a terrifying potential reality for you guys do you guys use a lot of vr over at the house no what do i use a lot of vr dude what would i be using i don't know what do you think would be happening dude buck hunting here's the wall this is the wally visual muffin making i have no I didn't even wonder what it would be for.

1:45:16Dude, integrated reality muffin making, dude, is what it is. Yeah, you could just point at the muffins and they go into the oven. Yeah. It's just crazy. Oh, my goodness, dude. Dude, that would be so nuts if we had a VR, like, if your whole life was VR. Like Neuralink, dude. Yeah, they just got the guy. See the kid? Yeah, saw the guy with the Neuralink thing. You could play chess or whatever. But it seems like you can just play shitty games that they had on your cell phone like 15 years ago. That's the thing about Neuralink that seems so trash, too. It's just like just Minesweeper. Yeah, exactly.

1:45:54Yeah, it's just getting there. It's just getting, you know. Yeah, it's just missing a lot of stuff. A guy paralyzed from... Like he's playing Mario Kart. He's playing Mario Kart using a Neuralink brain implant. Yeah, I would just... That's pretty gassed, though. Yeah, I mean, he can just look at it and tell it what to do. It's better than not playing Mario Kart. That's true. Because that's the other option, I think, right? It's to not be playing Mario Kart. Yeah, I think. So that could be cool. Yeah, that's a good point. You know, if you couldn't do anything, playing chess would be cooler than not doing anything, I think.

1:46:26It's the alternate version. Yeah, but it seems like they just have a limited amount of games and stuff. I don't know if I'd rather Neuralink or just get a PS5 or whatever. Or just get a VR headset. Yeah. But you, well. VR is crazy, though, man. And you can like, there's people like having their own, like guys will get a VR and then they'll have their own family inside of the VR world, even though they already have a family in their house. I feel like people have already been doing that, but just in real life people have been doing that for some time. People have been cheating, but this guy is doing it.

1:46:58Is he doing an even less admirable version of cheating in some way, dude? If he could make cheating even less admirable, it would be that version of it. Yeah, this dude's not even brave enough to go out there and fucking cheat and use a little gas money. He's just... Yeah, he's just like cheating. He's just like, shut up, honey. I'm with the other family right now. He's in the living room. He's like, he's just dialed in, dude, to the house. Oh, my God. He's like, my other family's naked. It'd be like, what are you talking about, dude? Somebody brought one out on the road recently, and that's maybe been last year or something, But it was like this.

1:47:37We had a bunch of our crew guys popped in on or whatever. And it was like you would get. So essentially you'd stand in this, you know, just any room or whatever. I guess I'll be hard work. Anywhere is anywhere, right? Oh, you could stand anywhere, yeah. So you have to like, you have the like thing and you hit this button on like the elevator. And you get in the elevator. And then when the door opens, you're like at the top of the skyscraper. Like when you open, it's just the skyscraper. and there's a wooden plank that comes out. And is it windy or what? Well, I don't think so. There's no way I know one.

1:48:12Unless we had a fan on. Yeah, you can turn a fan on and get maybe the wind effect, you know? But do you like, so physically in the VR, like you have to like step out onto the plank. And you obviously, you know, you're just like in a room. But it looks so real. But like half the guys like wouldn't get out of the elevator. wow and then we had one guy my buddy harp just went out to the end and he was looking down and he was just like he just jumped no way i was like bro are you good bro i used to be in a wheelchair that's what he's saying dude he straight up jumped off the end oh that's cool full lunatic if people yeah some people in vr are totally people that they can't be in real life like they should have a VR Amish or VR Starving.

1:49:02The Amish Simulator. Amish Simulator would be so great. It's such a sick game, dude. You have to actually learn Pennsylvania Dutch to play the game. Already a thing, dude. Amish Simulator? Yeah, get in there. See if there's any... A lot of times they have fresh eggs. An hour and 40 minutes, dude. Yeah. You think you can be Amish in, what, 15 minutes? You're out of your mind, Luke. Here it is, dude. You are lying to me, dude. This is fully integrated Amish. Dude, yeah, if I meet one more guy who wants to be Amish quickly, I'm going to fuck. You got to work for it, dog. You know what I mean? Oh, that's awesome, man.

1:49:46And this is Amish Simulator. Activated winner. But the thing about being Amish, dude, imagine, bro, You get to sneak off all the time and try to meet a chick or something. Because you can't date, I don't think, until you're 30 or what. What's the age? 30? No way. They have severe dating issues. You can't date until you're 30? No, dude, that can't be right because they have a bunch of kids. 16. Yeah, never mind. I was like, 30, dude. Wow. That is like, how did they survive this long, dude? I don't know, man. That's crazy, dude. What is this? Is this me in the VR thing? Oh, no. This is the elevator thing.

1:50:31VR people always look. They always stand like they're completely naked. It just. I do look very tense. Yeah, you look like you're going to get. I feel like they always think you're about to get busted for a crime or something, too. Oh, my God. that just scrolled 8 million. I just turned it and it just scrolled 8 billion pictures of your phone, dude. Yeah, there's a lot of alarming stuff on people's phones. This says, dating among the Amish typically begins around age 16, with most Amish couples marrying between the ages of 20 and 22. To find a perspective date, the young adults socialize at functions such as frolics.

1:51:10Dude, that's going with smorgasbord, dude, frolics. Church or home visits, bro, that would be me, dude. Door-to-door, where's the chicks. One of the most popular activities is the Sunday night singing. That would be you. I'd be killing it at Sunday night singing. Oh my gosh. Sunday night singing? They would get out the churn and get you out there. Milkmaids. The final churn. That would be your band name. The final churn. Heaven's churn. Yeah. Heaven's churn. What does it say right here? Almost 365. Sunday evening singing with the Amish. The buggies were lined up for an Amish singing in Bell Center, Ohio.

1:51:54We happened to be camping and we're out enjoying an evening drive. All of a sudden we started seeing buggies coming from all directions and we saw them all pulling into a lane there. They sure looked handsome. A lot of men in their Sunday best. They sure looked handsome. What an interesting blog here, dude. They are a state of Amish youth culture. Sunday evening singings. This is often where teenagers meet their future mates, make friends, and just have some good clean fun food is served pizza your mates is like gross yeah sounds very like primal you know yeah future mates say like spouse or like but i remember doing when i was growing up we grew up in a pretty small town so it was like you knew you were probably gonna have to marry somebody in town somebody in the and they would even tell us that in school i remember when we're like second grade you're probably gonna marry somebody yeah they'd be like look around the classroom there's one other classroom has kids in it you can look at some of them but you guys this is kind of the talent this is it guys yeah it's kind of everything we got going you're like this is bad this is definitely this is i gotta get out of here dude this is pretty limited um do you manage your tours differently as time goes on where you're like okay i want to do just certain cities and just or do you choose that or how do you guys put that together yeah i think you know we've had we've always had a long strategy on how do we you know how do we maximize this or that you know we have certain goals you know playing overseas was always big goal for us like consist playing overseas consistently to the point where we feel like we had really fostered a fan base that could almost be self-sustaining in the sense of like you know you could go tour one year you could just go tour in europe and then never play any shows in the states you know like so as to not burn every market, right?

1:53:45Right. If you go see me, you know, if I play every summer in, you know, Tallahassee, well, it's like if that happens five or six years in a row, like eventually everybody in that market is going to be like, well, I've seen that, dude. Yeah. So the idea is if I play, I don't know why I picked Tallahassee as such a random city. Yeah, I haven't been there. I don't even know if we've ever even played there before. I haven't been there, I don't think. Like if you pick that city and we played there, let's say I played there in 2018, right? And then let's say, obviously that's a weird year because COVID happens or whatever, but - But it's okay, still a year.

1:54:21Yeah, let's say I play there in 2021. And then the next time I'm going to play there is not till 2024. So in those three years, so much will have happened in my career. I could have maybe two new albums, a bunch more hit songs, and those people in that market, they'll have only had the opportunity to see me the time before right they'll go well now i want to hear this song and this song and this song and like he never comes down here so i want to go like yeah i like i just want to be able to tour at a high level for a long time and i think to do that you have to have a really long play strategy it can't be about well how can i make the most money this show this weekend and charge my fans the most for tickets and do the most and sell vip things Like I've never sold a meet and greet in my life.

1:55:08Yeah. Like that's a big point of revenue for a lot of artists is, and nothing against anybody that does that, by the way. I just always felt weird about it. The first meet and greets I ever did were$50 and we donated all the money to a camp in Georgia for children that have cancer. Oh yeah. Ever since then, we've never even charged for a meet and greet. All you have to do is join the fan club and have tickets to the show and you're entered into a lottery to win. Oh damn. That's a good way to do it. Yeah. Like, so you join the fan club and then you just put in for whatever show you're going to and it's completely free.

1:55:40Oh, that's cool. I come in the room, like do a Q and a thing, take pictures with everybody. Like, and I just feel like there's so much to already like pay for. Yeah. There's so like, there's t-shirts, there's beer, there's food, there's parking, there's hotels, there's babysitters, there's tickets, there's everything. Dude, you're charged at every turn. Yeah. and the whole experience and like i just want to meet people who came to the show man like whether it's their first show or their 15th show or whatever it is man like it's just a way for me to like i just want to say thank you to just regular folks who come to my show man like because they are the only reason that we have shows yeah like oh it's crazy to think that you can't figure out a way to thank them all the time it feels like you can never thank them enough dude and like it really is like i think about it all the times like you know sometimes i feel like The fan is the last person thought about it in the music business.

1:56:34Wow. And that, to me, is really sad. Well, they just started – they're finally bringing sanctions against Live Nation, I think. Can you look that up? I saw something about this recently. They're finally bringing sanctions against them or Ticketmaster, one of them. Yeah, I saw something about this on the news like two, three years ago, but I don't know enough about it. But there's definitely – you're definitely right. I definitely just saw something about that. Yeah, the Justice Department is suing Ticketmaster on Live Nation. what does that mean for concert goers? Is it for like the fees or something?

1:57:05I think. The Justice Department on Thursday accused Live Nation of engaging in a slew of practices that have allowed it to maintain a stronghold over the live music scene. They accused it of using long-term contracts to keep venues from choosing rival ticketers, blocking venues from using multiple ticket sellers, and threatening venues that they could lose money and fans if they didn't choose Ticketmaster. which in then they can they can jack up the prices of tickets in so they own 70 percent of ticketing that's wild that's unbelievable that's a lot dude how do you ever let that happen it just seems like they wouldn't let that happen um did you ever go see widespread panic never did man my so my best friend harp the guy that jumped off the end that's his like favorite band ever.

1:57:49Oh, yeah. Yeah. He loves them, dude. But I've never been, I've never seen them. I like them. Dude, they jam, though. They jam for sure. Did you follow a jam band ever? No, I never followed a jam band around. Damn, dude, really? Never followed around the country. God damn, you fucking lazy. I haven't lived, man. I haven't lived, dude. Yeah, it just seemed like you were being so lazy back then. I was, man. Didn't you want to make grilled cheeses and own a German Shepherd? I wanted to sell seashell earrings out of my van, dude. You know what I mean? Dude, one time this dude was selling grilled cheeses and the dog looked like it wanted out of there yeah it lives in a it probably doesn't never gets any grilled cheese by the way oh it was yeah the dog i think was running on a little treadmill even just powering the grilled cheese maker like sometimes those van guys in those um outside of concerts are pretty wild they got figured out is there like a big uh tailgate do some artists have like a big tailgate thing that that's part of their culture?

1:58:44Yeah, for sure. You know, we do, gosh, we do a big, a big tailgate on like when on this weekend we have, or this year we have Friday and Saturday shows that, so all the same cities. So on Saturday we have, you've heard of whiskey jam, I'm sure. Oh yeah. It's fun. So Ward and the whiskey jam folks come out and they bring, uh, up and coming artists out. We have a stage outside the stadium, um, and all that's free. Oh, wow. So, I mean, you don't really don't even have to have a ticket to the show to come to that if you don't want to. So on Saturdays, man, like we really try to, we've worked hard to like build, to like foster the culture of our shows and how we want that experience to be for our fans.

1:59:24Like, I mean, the whole weekend, like they get discounts at certain hotels if they're in my fan club. And like, we work with all these different people to make them have, yeah, like to make them have the best experience that we can have, you know? And so, yeah, the tailgating thing, dude, I mean, obviously the Chesney tailgate culture is unbelievable. Yeah. As was like the Buffett stuff, you know. We went out, you know, but I think country has such a great, just in general kind of tailgating vibe. Oh, for sure. Because I think a lot of those fans, like I think of like the college football fan base to me, like there's so much correlation in the country music fan base to that.

2:00:08Yeah, it's so much fun. And that culture is so similar. It's just fun, right? Like, that's what it should be. I think people want to have fun, yeah. Yeah, for sure, man. The other night we were in Miami, I was with Caleb, actually. Yep. Who your buddy's with. Love him, yep. And we were going to some club, but then we had more fun in the car on the way there just listening to country music. Yeah. And then we got to the club and we're like, this sucks. Yeah, you're like, dude, I can't imagine. So that's just trash, dude. I love Caleb, dude. He's a trip. Oh, he's something else. He said he used to manage you, too, did he?

2:00:38I don't think, I wouldn't say that, probably. No? No, definitely not. He seems like someone who would be lying about that. Probably, he could be. Could be known, yeah. Yeah, he's a special guy, man. He's one of a kind. Dude, we were buddies back in the day, man. Like, he was, I think I was a senior and he was a freshman, I think. But he was like. And what was he, like the Rapunzel of the team? Wasn't he like. Well, he was like the guy, like if eight quarterbacks got hurt. Right. Like as a freshman, he would like come in. Then he would get a notification on his phone. And then he could show up to the game.

2:01:14He got a free ticket to the game. But I rode the pine hard. And obviously he wasn't playing because he was a freshman or whatever. And because, yeah, he wasn't ever going to. But were you any good at football? No, I was trash. Really? Yeah, it was terrible. God. I didn't apply myself, man. I feel like I could have been good. But, dude, I was too busy singing all the time, dude. I mean, I was in choir every day of high school for – I mean, every day of public school from sixth grade to when I graduated, I was in chorus class every day. And did you ever integrate or try and date women that were on the flag team?

2:01:52We didn't have that. No way. Yeah. How do you not even have a flag team? Didn't y 'all have, like, a local military or anything? You mean, like, ROTC? Oh, you mean, like, yeah. I thought you meant, like – Oh, yeah, we had flag team. Usually there was a lot of crossover in that. You think? Oh, a lot of ROTC. So a lot of ROTC. Men are the children of flag team women. That can't be real, dude. That can't be a real stat. I hope that's a real stat. You're telling me. You're honestly going to tell me, Luke, that a lot of ROTC men aren't the children of. It's possible, I think. Of flag team women. Flag team relationships.

2:02:34Yeah, yeah, flag team relationships. Okay, okay. Yeah, I think there's a possibility that there could be some correlation there. You know? I think there is. There's a high probability. Yeah, high probability. The new album, it comes out Friday before Father's Day. Friday before Father's Day. Yep, yep. Fathers and Sons? Yeah, Fathers and Sons, yep. Should be good, man. I'm excited. Hope people enjoy it, you know, for what it is, you know? Well it's important too For people to take time If you can To reflect on those relationships It's hard sometimes Sometimes you get so busy You don't even think about What somebody means to you Sure Sure man It's important stuff man And I think you know There's so many different paths That people have had Growing up with their With their dads Or their moms even You know what I mean Like yeah I think there's Something in these songs That you know Can translate to anybody You know It just happens to be Fathers and sons for me Because you know I got two boys And you know Maybe that changes one day and there'll be a...

2:03:34mothers and yeah you never know I don't count anything out where it could lead you could be a woman the songs mean a lot to me and I think I hope that people can relate to them and listen to them and love them as much as I do for sure yeah it's important to have anthems that go along with how we feel sometimes no doubt that's about it Luke thanks for having me I thought you had a nice chat man oh absolutely yeah thanks for coming in yeah absolutely man before you go do artists start thinking more about collaborations now these days? Does it seem like something that goes through phases where it seems more fun or more accepted?
