00:01:34
Speaker 2: So yeah, before we drop this hook, though, you guys know the drill, I want to talk to you guys about whoop woop is currently. I wouldn't say my favorite app. Twitter is probably my favorite app still, but woop is a very close second because I spent a lot of time on my woop. If you guys don't know, woop is a fitness tracker. It is a strap that you have on your wrist and it measures a lot of good insight and data. Your strain, your daily stressors throughout the day, elevated heart rates. I just said heart rate, but attracks your heart rate throughout the day. It measures your sleep, your HRV, your resting heart rate, your respiratory rate, a lot of good shit. They're partnered with the NFL, They're partnered with the PGA, And the best thing is you don't have to be an athlete to have this strap. I any athlete or fitness person out there, I highly recommend go check out whoop this strap because it is a game changer for me playing football, tracking my data every day, how much sleep I'm getting, how much strain I need to put on my body in the weight room while I'm in season, Like right now, I'm actually looking at how much sleep I need to beginning tonight to not only.

00:02:45
Speaker 3: Perform tomorrow, but to peak tomorrow.

00:02:48
Speaker 2: It gives you options on how much sleep you need to beginning to peak, to perform, and just to get by, which is all in their Sleep Coach part of the app. But another cool thing is their community. They provide you with a lot of good articles, a lot of good insight to read on to help you optimize and perform and just live a healthy lifestyle. Again, you don't need to be an athlete. I'm actually in the middle of getting my dad on this thing because I think there's a lot of benefit to it.

00:03:14
Speaker 1: You get to see how much you're.

00:03:15
Speaker 2: Disturbed throughout the night all again, all of your sleep data, everything, man, and they're hooking us up with fifteen percent off for our listeners. You just got to go to woop dot com. That's Whoop dot com, enter the code busting at checkout, and you get fifteen percent off the subscription. You become a member again. Once you're in, you're in the community, dude. So you can create a team, whether it's family members, a friend group, a team you're a part of. You guys can compete and compare data every day and all day long and just have a healthier lifestyle. I truly think this is the best fitness tracker out there. I wear it every day when I'm at practice or playing in the game. I tape around it because I think all that data is very beneficial for not only that moment, but the next day and.

00:04:00
Speaker 1: The days that come to set myself up better. Uh.

00:04:03
Speaker 2: But again, go to woop dot com, use our use the code busting for fifteen percent off. Sleep better, recover faster, be optimal with the boys. Wear the Whoop strap, shout out Whoop.

00:04:54
Speaker 4: Oh, oh you swing that thing? Huh you play around here?

00:04:57
Speaker 5: I just had had a very satisfied around last two weeks ago, maybe just south of Nashville. Darius Rutger asked me to come out and play on his team.

00:05:06
Speaker 3: And uh, did you guys have it?

00:05:09
Speaker 5: No, we didn't win, but we had a long drive competition. I hadn't had a golf in three years.

00:05:14
Speaker 3: Just how'd you do?

00:05:14
Speaker 1: Though?

00:05:14
Speaker 3: You probably did good?

00:05:15
Speaker 2: I picked it three You know how like you come the first time, second, first time of the year and you actually play well, and you're like, oh, I'm gonna have a good year this year, and then the next week and everything.

00:05:24
Speaker 5: Else that's anymore because I show up once every three years and just ball out and rip.

00:05:28
Speaker 3: Where'd you play in college? Lips? Come here in Nashville. So what is that like, what's that workout?

00:05:33
Speaker 2: Like?

00:05:33
Speaker 3: Those workouts pretty tough. This is back in the day when we uh, it's crazy.

00:05:42
Speaker 5: We did go through transition freshman year, sophomore year, not really any working out, and then I guess a new coach that gave a crap and bleed in physical fitness and you started making us to go to you know, six thirty a MS or whatever they were. But thank god he did. I was one hundred and thirty pounds soaking wet, you know, until he made me start lifting.

00:05:58
Speaker 4: But wasn't like a good hunt and thirty pound It was like a It was good because I.

00:06:03
Speaker 5: Didn't realize how much you know, you're walking with this bag on your back. We did back in the day we were playing. We were walking thirty six on Monday eighteen. On Tuesday, you're walking thirty six holes.

00:06:11
Speaker 3: Carrying your own bag.

00:06:12
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you know, obviously on the off weeks were practicing playing every day carrying her back. So you know, you're, what's the average golf around seven miles or something carrying a bag.

00:06:20
Speaker 3: I mean they keeping shape? Hell, yeah, no doubt it does. What do you now, like one seventy three ish. I'm starting to watch what I eat. It's been good too. Quarantine has been great. Man. I finally get one of the first people to.

00:06:33
Speaker 2: Say that I know, I know has kind of like gotten in the little snack draw a little too much, and I hate he really is.

00:06:39
Speaker 4: I went to his house yesterday, writes Chrispy Treats and shit kettle chips with jalapeno.

00:06:45
Speaker 3: Fire. My dude, I wasn't that thing.

00:06:47
Speaker 4: I was kind of eating a couple and I left my house. I've been like super like on this path, like trying to eat super healthy. I kind of got home and I was like, oh, I little rumbling in the tummy. Yeah, I was hurt a little bit. I was definitely hurting. But that's a good thing.

00:06:59
Speaker 6: Though.

00:07:00
Speaker 3: Working has been good to you, it ads.

00:07:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know, I've realized, well, you know, I've been touring for ten plus years straight, and I've realized what I've been working for, finding it and enjoy those things, and then what real sleep is. Again, I'm having dreams like I hadn't had a dream, legit, deep dream in a long long time.

00:07:17
Speaker 3: Because of like no sleep and ship.

00:07:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you get used to the bus and then you come home you're not moving and so you don't sleep well, you know, or you're freaking out. I got to go get this done at the farm or whatever it is. But just kind of being in a normal routine for weeks at a time. Now, it's been like, whoa, I'm purposely going to take off at least a month a year now.

00:07:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, for just to me, just because yeah.

00:07:39
Speaker 4: You got to be said, like usually if we don't make the playoffs, will and I know we've you for sure, and I do too. Sometimes they take off all of January like you need that time to just have like some sort of mental like relaxation, to like get yourself back to a baseline.

00:07:53
Speaker 5: It is great and it's been good. I think this was a blessing in disguise for me. So yeah, other than my bank account, yeah, I'm out.

00:08:00
Speaker 3: There, dude, well a bit millionaire. Your bank account. People so mad about it.

00:08:08
Speaker 5: No, I mean I've got thirty families, you know, on salaries, you know, so it's like I'm feeding a lot of mouse and we're not bringing money in, and you just you know, you try to keep.

00:08:17
Speaker 3: Liking for them. I don't realize that like, you know, a lot of traveling.

00:08:21
Speaker 2: You said, you're you've been torn for like ten plus years and you're talking about now incorporating another month. Like these last ten years, you feel like you're just go, go, go, just all the time, all year long.

00:08:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much. Man, We've toured hard.

00:08:32
Speaker 5: I mean we had one hundred and eighty I think our record here was like one hundred and eighty four shows.

00:08:37
Speaker 3: Damn, that's not counting travel days. That's not doing nothing, bro, That is crazy. You're not doing anything of actual performing, not the.

00:08:45
Speaker 5: Traveling, TV and all that stuff on top of it. But I would never do that again. I don't any any young up and coming artists never do that.

00:08:53
Speaker 3: It's not well pick up Nichols like that. It kind of goes into the ten thousand Hours thing.

00:08:57
Speaker 4: Read that that book. The like to master something you got to put a lot of time in. Like comedians, they have to go up and you have to bomb over and over and over again just to become like for sure somewhat relevant or somewhat good.

00:09:08
Speaker 5: What was inspiring us to work so hard as we were finally making money? You know, you go, it's weird. The entertainment is so weird. I wish I had somebody that would tell me all of the things not to do or what to do and what to expect because you get on the radio, you have a big hit, you have another hit, and you're making I was making way less money. I was broke, couldn't pay rent, and you're on the radio and on TV performing really and before that, I was playing a lot of frat parties and weddings and stuff and making dough. But you're going to now now on TV with no money, You're.

00:09:40
Speaker 3: Going to tin roof famous. We can't a fit roofs. Yeah, what's up? Ten reroof? I lived across the street from Tenery, from that hotel. Dude, everyone does the hotel. Yeah before they redid it, man, this was but I always get the room to have the jacuzie in it. Oh nice the road again? Can a bill? But he's got a jacuzi And isn't I like that? So you were.

00:10:02
Speaker 2: Saying stuff to do and not to do, Like if you could go back or talk to your young self, like what are these things that you're saying, Hey, handle this situation this way.

00:10:11
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

00:10:12
Speaker 2: You're like, I'm on TV now, but I'm not making money. So what are the things you wish you would have known back then?

00:10:16
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think you can get around that. That's just kind of outstructured. But you know, I think what is is I've learned that loyalty can being loyal over loyal I guess so an extent can hurt you. Yeah, whenever your gut's telling you shouldn't do something, but you're like, I want to be loyal. I want to do this. Man, look out for yourself. You know.

00:10:36
Speaker 4: There really a lot of times people always say, like, you need to be loyal, you need to do this. But it's like the older I've gotten, the more I've realized, like no one's looking out for your inhibitions and goals more than you are.

00:10:47
Speaker 5: Yeh, be loyal to yourself right before somebody else.

00:10:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I would agree.

00:10:53
Speaker 2: I mean in the business world, they are in business world, in the NFL world, which is a business, which is a business.

00:10:58
Speaker 1: It's in the.

00:10:59
Speaker 2: Business world of the NFL.

00:11:02
Speaker 3: On top of that, it's like there you.

00:11:05
Speaker 2: Sit, you sit in the auditorium, the team locker rooms and all that stuff, and it's just it's loyalty to like you know the team and you just.

00:11:11
Speaker 3: Love the camaraderie with the boys.

00:11:13
Speaker 6: Yea.

00:11:14
Speaker 2: And for like, say my example, when your contract is up and you're no longer with them, there's just like that personal kind of like just bitterness.

00:11:21
Speaker 1: Like, man, I was so loyal too.

00:11:24
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying like I deserve to have something.

00:11:26
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like, as your own person, You're like, man, I wish they'll offer me another contract because I put, you know, so much into the locker room or the team or what the coaches and everybody wanted to do. And it's just like it's just the nature of the beast, dude, And like you were saying it, like you got to kind of be loyal to yourself. We don't know what's gonna happen with this pod. He'd probably dropped me in a heartbeat. He probably run me over with this ship.

00:11:49
Speaker 1: Dude.

00:11:50
Speaker 3: Other question, I get the bus started just to run him over.

00:11:52
Speaker 2: And then if it gets long enough and successful enough, and then I'm like, hey, you know, I kind of now I got what I want out of it.

00:11:57
Speaker 3: He's like, and tell me about Y know, I was what about the days I was there? You just gotta we're not that's not gonna happen.

00:12:05
Speaker 4: But good absolutely, we'll sell everybody out on this bus. He's got apple on this bush.

00:12:12
Speaker 3: I know Jack new interns. Jack is a new intern that's jacket. Jack looks like he's from California, but he grew up in Nashville. He's a unicorn. And Josh you from Billy's sitting the mic. I'm from here, he's I know, he's boys shot up.

00:12:34
Speaker 4: Corey Levin, dude, worst risk player I've ever seen in my entire life. Going back to the business thing though, dude, it's crazy. Like in my like in my first year, I got drafted here and then Ken w wasn Hutte was a coach, and I was like super loyal to Ken and then halfway through my second year he got he gets fired, and I was like kind of doing whatever I could to be like the best, like the best team player, the best captain and the best whatever I could be. And Mike Malarkey, who you know, I don't have a lot of positive things to say, so I won't say very many things. But Mike Marky like took the sea from me and all that, and it was like it was really hard because you think in your head, like I'm doing everything I can to help this team, and like you guys are just shitting on me, right, And then I get done with the season, and there was all this talk of Lammie Tunzel, who's had a good career, but him being the first pick overall in the draft and the Titans picking him and getting rid of me and all this stuff, and that was like my first real taste.

00:13:24
Speaker 3: It was my first real taste.

00:13:25
Speaker 4: I had something happened in Michigan as well, but your first real taste when you're making money, they're kind of yeah, like it's it's it's crazy, how like you go from feeling like you're still a part of something and like in an instant you're like, you know, I could they could just get rid of me like that, it could be over and it's.

00:13:43
Speaker 3: Traded, you know what I mean. I think that.

00:13:46
Speaker 5: I think that's what keeps it fun for us exciting. You know, it's the same I think with music. You know, we're not guaranteed another hit, you guys aren't another contractor game, you know, if you get hurt whatever, So I don't know, there's you know, do.

00:13:57
Speaker 3: You think we're attracted to that?

00:13:59
Speaker 2: Right?

00:13:59
Speaker 3: Right, you kind of we don't know what the outcome is going to be, right, you know, you don't know a lot of.

00:14:04
Speaker 4: Times, Like there's people that are wired a lot of different ways. Like there's people that are wired that are going to work nine to five jobs, like you're going to be in a cubicle because that's like just how you're wired, you know what I'm saying. There's people that are like not saying we're those people, but like taking chances and wanted to do more. Like these guys back here who are working doing internship, they're trying to strive towards something like in production do something with you know, entertainment cameras, behind the scenes stuff that's not something you would just do on a daily basis, Like you have to go and like have an itch to go do something. Sure for us, it's like, you know, I remember when I was eight years old, I was leaving a little league baseball game with my dad. I like, let a groundball go through my like go through my legs, and my dad said something to me, and my dad listen to this podcast. I feel really bad telling the story, but shut he like, yeah, shout out Dave Lawan and he's like he's like, hey, listen, like there's always going to be somebody better than you, and just how the world works, someone's always gonna better than you at something. And even when I was like eight year old, is like, man, fuck that. Yeah, stupid ship to say, because it is, like I mean, and I know what he was trying. I know that what he was trying to accomplish by then by saying, like, don't beat yourself up too much. People make mistakes. I think that's what he was trying to tell me. But like you know, I think there is a difference in entertainment, uh, as an artist or as a comedian, or as an athlete or an actor, like you just you have this strive to want to do something that like you know, if it was easy, everybody would do.

00:15:25
Speaker 3: It, but they can't be the best too. Yeah you said, what be the best? Yeah, no question. It's the journey's second place. Yeah, it's the.

00:15:32
Speaker 5: Journey of getting better every day. I think it's what I'm addicted to. It's constantly trying to get better, be a better entertainer, hat a better song, sing better, party better.

00:15:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:15:41
Speaker 2: Well it seems like you're accomplishing these things well, twenty twenty is taking a l but you had some ship.

00:15:49
Speaker 3: I found my silver lining in this year, right right, I found you have new stuff out. Yeah, that's what sucks the most for me.

00:15:58
Speaker 5: I worked really hard the last two years to put out my newest album called Tillahom, and we put it out back in January and hit the road right afterwards on this big tour and then we were picking up with Old Dominion, which Matt Ramsey was in here.

00:16:10
Speaker 3: Dude, I wish Ramsey could come on the bus. Man. It was so hard doing Zoom podcast.

00:16:15
Speaker 1: But he was really good.

00:16:15
Speaker 3: He was really good on He had that god damn bird in that camera.

00:16:18
Speaker 4: Remember he was sitting outside, him and Chase Rice, Chase, they were all sitting outside like, hey man, we get as nice out today, but like inside, it's.

00:16:29
Speaker 2: Got of those things that just like it's like a fire lie that just keeps beeping in the house.

00:16:33
Speaker 3: Ramsey, a pet bird should chase like a parakeet in the case, Hey, Chase is getting bison. Did he tell you about that?

00:16:40
Speaker 4: He's got like one hundred and twenty acres or whatever, and so that's awesome. Yeah, he's getting bison. He like sent me a text run random night, like at like nine eight, like nine pm.

00:16:49
Speaker 3: It was like, come out.

00:16:50
Speaker 4: It's like it's a Monday chase. I'm not coming to your place forty five minutes away. Yeah, it's crazy. Man's getting bison out in the middle of nowhere though. That's pretty cool, crazy shit out there.

00:16:58
Speaker 3: He was. You were talking about touring with Old Dominion, Yeah, with you. Oh yeah, so we're started to sit the rover with them.

00:17:03
Speaker 5: The summer we had a big summer festivals too, and that's the momentum that we were building.

00:17:08
Speaker 3: Off the new album.

00:17:09
Speaker 5: And uh, you know, just seeing the crowd start to sing all the songs and everything is what I'm addicted to.

00:17:13
Speaker 3: You know.

00:17:14
Speaker 5: It's so much fun to put something together and then watch it grow over the course of a year all over the world, you know, and people know every every word and get wait to party with you. So that kind of that rugg gets pulled out from under unit.

00:17:23
Speaker 3: It's like, damn that stinks.

00:17:24
Speaker 2: But now when all that stuff gets shut down, is there, like, how do you go about planning it to happen?

00:17:30
Speaker 3: I guess again, like the late is a twenty weird is something in twenty twenty one. You look at that, I think we'll get back out this year.

00:17:38
Speaker 2: This episode of Bustle with the Boys is also brought to you by body Armor. Body Armor is sponsoring the Boys, and it fires me up because again another brand who sponsors and partners with the NFL is sponsoring the boys. Whoop is partnered with the NFL. Body Armor is partnered with the NFL. Summer is over, football is finally back, and the best way to say hydrated all season long is with our favorite sports drink, body Armor. Body Armor is all over the facility. My favorite flavor of body Armor tropical citrus. After that goes mixed berry fruit punch, strawberry, banana, orange, mango, and then grape. Not a big grape guy, but hey, they got it. I know people like it. Body Armour has artificial sweeteners, flavors or dies is potassium pact and full of electrolytes with all the things you need to keep hydrated through the summer months, through the football season, all year long, and it tastes phenomenal. We have all the COVID and quarantine protocols going on right now, so everything you do in the cafeteria you got to get bags and you have to get like individualized food, like individualized meals because you can't do bufface out or share food with anybody because all the COVID stuff. So the boy, I rack up a couple bags. I wait till after hours after meetings are over, and I wonder, and then I wonder in the cafteria with it's a little bag like I'm trigger treating and I just stuffed my bag with freaking body armers.

Speaker 5: You know, there's there's some shows that are looking like they want to happen, you know, at the end of summer. So fingers crossed, we can. Yeah, I can't take not playing much longer. You know, you just become it's part of you. You know, after a while, you got to kind of have that that high. So Uh, I hope we get back at it, but I don't know.

00:19:49
Speaker 3: I'm working.

00:19:50
Speaker 5: I'm writing like crazy right now because I feel like I'm going to need new music by the time we get cranking again.

00:19:54
Speaker 3: You know, like this album is going to be just chewed up all year. Hopefully well people enjoy it all year and then need something else.

00:20:00
Speaker 4: What's that process like for you when you have to go and write something, Like, how do you sit down? How do you get kind of motivated to go and like go and write something.

00:20:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's weird. I'm kind of drawing from inspiration of being home right now, which is usual. I'm drawn from inspiration and being on the road in my life.

00:20:14
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

00:20:14
Speaker 5: I think we'll get a different record out of it, you know, for sure, different content, no doubt, because you know.

00:20:19
Speaker 3: You're as a writer.

00:20:20
Speaker 5: I'd grab pieces, you know, just from riding on the tracker this morning or whatever it is, you know, and they just kind of store them and then they'll fall out on a page months down the road lyrically. So that's kind of where my stuff comes from. But but yeah, I guess being Home is going to be Do you feel.

00:20:33
Speaker 2: Like that'll be like a trend when like say twenty twenty one and stuff like that, people will have albums that kind of get the inspiration from being at home during the quarantine.

00:20:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, I've had this conversation with my co writers these past couple of weeks, is, Man, if we don't put out the best music of the next thirty years after this year, what are we doing? Like, I mean, we've never all of us, the creators, have never.

00:20:54
Speaker 5: Had the chance to be I don't know, to be in this kind of washing machine.

00:21:00
Speaker 3: What the hell is going on?

00:21:01
Speaker 5: And so many things to write about and just life being completely different. It's not normal for anybody right now. So I think I think some great arts is gonna get made this year.

00:21:11
Speaker 3: Do you get to get on like zooms with these guys, Yeah, we're zoom.

00:21:14
Speaker 4: How does that work? Like, because when we do a zoom, the ship's a little over the place, like we're a.

00:21:18
Speaker 3: Little but they get to kind of hang out.

00:21:20
Speaker 4: It's like and we're like, okay, sorry, but no, no, you go well it is your turn to go. Yeah, you write a song with somebody and you're like, all right, I'll play this, and then you go into the thing.

00:21:30
Speaker 3: Well, usually you've got to kind of you know, it's all like conversation usually.

00:21:34
Speaker 5: I mean there are those moments, but usually somebody's got an idea, they throw it in, somebody listens as you come to it.

00:21:38
Speaker 3: What I love about zoom.

00:21:39
Speaker 5: In the old days, you kind of felt like you were phoning it in if you're zooming, like, oh, what a prick. You don't want to drive to the studio, you know, But now we're having success doing it and you don't have You don't feel bad if you stink the if you have to go take a dump next.

00:21:53
Speaker 3: Door and stake the studio up. You're at your house. It's great literally making a sandwich and.

00:21:59
Speaker 5: Coming up with lyric ideas because I've got my computer in the kitchen with me. So I mean, there's no hey, let's break for lunch. I don't know it works.

00:22:05
Speaker 3: I think we'll still get seems like the vibe of the creative comunity.

00:22:09
Speaker 5: Everybody wants to get back together because there's something about energy there is, yeah, and you know, tracks it different when you're all together and can drink together.

00:22:18
Speaker 3: Whatever you do togain spread down.

00:22:19
Speaker 4: So how much you do like when you say, like people are itching to get back a lot of like people are like, hey, like companies are saying stay at home, like this is going to be the new norm for us.

00:22:28
Speaker 2: Now.

00:22:28
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna like office spaces seem to be something that's becoming a little like obsolete. Yeah, you don't see that happening in the country community at all.

00:22:35
Speaker 5: Like I think, I think business wise, I think office space would be you know, could could probably shrink down a little bit. But but creatively, no, I don't think so. I think I think we need each other. Man, there's something humans need humans, you know, And I think to create and feel that emotion, we're going to need that again.

00:22:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's fucking real.

00:22:53
Speaker 2: I know. I tell you what fired me up is when he's like, we're all kind of quarantined and if we don't make the best music in the next thirty years, like just an opportunistic way to look at it, Like when all when shit hits the fan, I feel like you just learn a lot about who you are when everyone's kind of stuck and you can either kind of complain about it or you're trying to find your pivots, like Okay, how am I going to adjust to this?

00:23:14
Speaker 1: And I don't know.

00:23:15
Speaker 2: I just feel like people in quarantine probably learned a lot about themselves.

00:23:19
Speaker 3: I think. So.

00:23:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I think I can't be the only one that has been, you know, toured to death and needed this right or was in some sort of cycle of you know, whatever that road life is and kind of needed a reset.

00:23:32
Speaker 3: You know.

00:23:33
Speaker 5: I know a couple buddies that are really glad it happened too. So, but yeah, I think I just look at it. Go man, you know what, why not come out of this? Yeah, we're losing the bank accounts going quick, but why not come out of this with a couple of songs that change the trajectory of my career?

00:23:47
Speaker 3: Why not? What? What the hell else am I going to do?

00:23:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you can get a little more ROI out of this thing, little return on investment you get thirty.

00:23:53
Speaker 3: Days or how has been way? It's been way longer. It's been like three months. It's been about three months. You're right, That Saint.

00:24:01
Speaker 2: Patty's Day weekend is when we when it really went down there for us. That's how I think about it.

00:24:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, same saying, that's how I see it too.

00:24:07
Speaker 4: We're supposed to go to Cabo and like like three days before we're.

00:24:10
Speaker 3: Supposed to leave. An NBA player got it and we were like, yeah, do we go to Cabo? Yeah, but did we get on the Southwest? Fucking dude, I was going to.

00:24:20
Speaker 1: Dude.

00:24:21
Speaker 3: I would live in Mexico. I absolutely would live. I would live in Coapo, Sam Lucas for sure. In that place is should get a place AIRBNBA.

00:24:26
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, man, It's a lot of work, all right. A lot of bank account are getting hit right now. Okay, a lot of the boys took a dad. The boys took the boys. The boys took it.

00:24:36
Speaker 3: We took it a debt.

00:24:37
Speaker 4: One of our first sponsors backed out, not first sponsors, but one of our bigger sponsors backed out on us.

00:24:42
Speaker 3: We're not gonna talk about it. Yeah, that'll be better, but it hurt the boys a little bit.

00:24:47
Speaker 7: You think about retiring and you're like yeah, yeah, when you're talking about like you needed this, I am so happy, Like I know this sounds weird, but I'm super happy that quarantine happened when I was twenty eight and not when I was like.

00:24:57
Speaker 4: Twenty one, because I'd be super to shape right now, and I'll drink myself to death. By this time, I was like right on the cusp of like, man, I really want to like change in things because for me, like when you're like Will knows this, when you're super into like what you're doing, like for me, obviously it's football, I'm so like zoned in on that, like I'm almost saying, like what can I do better? And for me, it was like mentally, how do I mentally like help myself to not go up with you know, the highs and lows with the lows? I kind of figure that out, and I was kind of like battling with that mentally until this quarantine thing hit and then it was like, okay, well, if I'm going to take care of something, like now is the time to kind of start working with that process of like who am I going to be when I come out of this? Because like there's like there's not a lot of black and white in this world.

00:25:39
Speaker 3: There's a lot of gray.

00:25:39
Speaker 4: But right now with quarantine all this shit going on, like there's a black and white of like who are you?

00:25:44
Speaker 3: Like, are you going to be better when you come out of here?

00:25:46
Speaker 4: You're gonna be worse because there's not gonna be a lot of stagnant the same person you were. Yeah, it's tough, and so I've I've had to work on myself like a lot mentally, just like learning how to meditate, doing stuff like learning how to shut myself down because I'm a very I mean, I don't think it's very hard to figure out very high energy guy like I'm a fucking I'm watching before we got started here, it was impressive.

00:26:06
Speaker 3: I'm surprised.

Speaker 4: So I start calling and calling and calling calling, and he's declining and declining and declining, and he answers the phone, dude, and he fucking rips into me, like rips into me for like two three minutes and then hangs up the phone, and like I kind of just like went downstairs and like Tailing's like, what's wrong with My Wife's name is Taylor, And I'm like she's like what's wrong. I was like, I just don't want to talk about it. I did, Yeah, you went on. I had to take a U. I had to do something for my daughter. Made something up, but I took I took the back roads, like hurting, dude.

00:36:52
Speaker 3: I was a country music song, all right. I was hurt.

00:36:55

00:37:15
Speaker 3: Everyboy?

00:37:16
Speaker 2: Now, it's like it's like with Taylor, like you'll have you'll you'll like do your daily routine of ship right, and you kind of have stuff.

00:37:23
Speaker 3: Mapped out that you're gonna do that day, and you know.

00:37:25
Speaker 2: Usually majority of your friends, like if something's going on, you're like, oh, I can't make it, or let's plan on something else, and then you set a different date for something Taylor, he'll call and there's like a little bit of anxiety that kind of comes in my body because I'm like, I know he's gonna want me to hang out and I'm gonna have to say no. But a note to a different friend is just like, all right, let's play for something else. But a note to him something like the other day, he's like, I'm just not even gonna ask to night because I'm tired of being let down. Like it's like I tell him. He thinks that I'm like saying yes already ahead of time to where when I do say no, it's like I him down. Yeah, I'm like, you know, Taylor, I just like I just can't right now, or like I'm already doing this.

00:38:05
Speaker 3: Or something very I'm very manipulative. But you have when.

00:38:08
Speaker 2: You talked about like uh, whatever you've been doing in quarantine, growing growing Now I do get off the phone, there's like these subtleties where he's like, all right, man, we get off and I kind of hang up the phone and I almost don't know how to feel because nothing, nothing was met with, like uh.

00:38:23
Speaker 3: Oh, we just kind of got off the phone that time, just like that's it. Yeah, here's always a winner. Yeah, Or he'll come from it the next day.

00:38:31
Speaker 2: He's like, hey, so I called you last night and I'm just thinking in my head like a fuck, and he's like you were probably watching Netflix and I was like yeah, He's like I figured the boy was watching Netflix.

00:38:39
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, that's it. Yeah, a lot I've grown maybe something.

00:38:51
Speaker 3: Everything's kind of better.

00:38:53
Speaker 2: So when you tell us we're coming on the boat, if you happen to change course with me, it'll probably be all right.

Speaker 4: This is this is a This is what a ferrari looks like in a human body.

00:39:33
Speaker 3: This is just it, dude. But I mean, it's wet today, it's not it is. It's a perfect late day, Yeah, it is. It's a perfect late day. Up. This would not have happened have we been on a zoom call.

00:39:47
Speaker 4: It wouldn't have happened. That's true because you wouldn't have felt this camaraderie. You feel this energy in here for sure, palpable.

00:39:52
Speaker 3: It's like you can cut it with a knife. I do fear drinking around y'all though you don't have too much. He don't really drink. I'll sip some wood for reserve. I'll get hammered. I'll just do it. It's like, y'all are I'll tell you what I feel like. It was just well, it's more of a show too, gun. I don't know. We're right now, we're on camera.

00:40:09
Speaker 4: We have to do this for an hour and we just had to do that like we're we're up there this right here.

00:40:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the empty stomach in caffeine because I'm actually I would say I'm a little more chill, like I kind of my energy all rise being around the boy because he has high.

00:40:22
Speaker 4: Energy, you know, and bring people along with me and the energy.

00:40:25
Speaker 3: It would be scared.

00:40:27
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:40:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you, well, we get drinking on a bo that's gonna be just fun time.

00:40:31
Speaker 3: Are you a star guy too? Every now and again, I'll have a couple love it. So I needed to know. I know he's not. So we haven't gotten as the right night. Yeah, gotta be the right night. It's a weather thing. For me, it's a weather thing. Yeah, if you.

00:40:46
Speaker 2: Got a fire or back deck or like sitting outside vibe and you got the boys or anybody sitting outside having a conversation. To me, that's just you throw out a cigar. Hey, if I want a cigar, that's the right time.

00:40:58
Speaker 3: No, no, And then you're sitting scar smoking. I'll be having one to the morrow. But I love second and cigar smoke too. So whatever.

00:41:08
Speaker 2: I wish Charle was, she's always like I'll go inside. I'm like, I wish you'd just hang out.

00:41:12
Speaker 1: But I get it.

00:41:13
Speaker 3: You don't like the cigar smoke. Yeah, I love it. I don't know. Ever since I was a kid, I guess grow up with the golf.

00:41:18
Speaker 4: Course, there's always my cigars, so being a child, yeah, it's beautiful. We have a I mean, this platad is flying by. We should probably talk about country music a little bit.

00:41:28
Speaker 3: You're doing this. What's that we talked about? We got to hit on some good stuff. The solid ship.

00:41:34
Speaker 2: You get nervous because you don't want to ask the same like questions that I feel like you We've as like Matt Ramsey or Chase Rice right the green and it's like I'm trying to figure out something. Something that you said was like, uh, feeding thirty five different families goes through me. Yeah, what goes into I guess the business of Dustin Lynch And maybe that's not even the right war, but that's what I'm here, Like, oh, man, he does got to sit here and worry about a bunch of other people instead of just dust and Lynches money. You're concerned when something like this happens about everybody.

00:42:06
Speaker 5: Else in everybody else, man, Because we've grown from a band of I started in my you know, for erunner pulling a trailer to frat parties. But we've grown from a small band of single dudes run the world to a big group now. And everybody's got kids now, and so it's heavy. You know, every every single year you look at how much do we need to work to make everybody comfortable to provide for these families. You know, there's a lot of overhead. There's a lot of people behind the scenes other than my band. Guys, everybody knows from being on stage. I mean there's more people behind the scenes and every touring capacity, I think, in every act than there are on stage. So it's a lot of people that are are counting on us to work and not working this year is uh, it's taxing, man, it's tough. We haven't had to let anybody go yet, which I'm very proud of this far into it and looking like we can hang in there if we can.

00:43:05
Speaker 3: Get back to work. So finger scross, we can.

00:43:07
Speaker 4: So if you if you I don't know, I don't run a business, but if you let somebody go and then things like let's say tomorrow everything starts back up, yeah, can you just hire them back? Yeah?

00:43:15
Speaker 3: You can. Absolutely can't want to leave. I guess.

00:43:19
Speaker 6: Yeah.

00:43:19
Speaker 3: Like there's a loyalty thing there for me, you know. Yeah.

00:43:22
Speaker 5: Those guys and girls that that I'm out on the road with make me better than I am and make me look better than I am. And right, so there's there's a family thing there, and we found.

00:43:31
Speaker 3: A really tight click. We have a weird band.

00:43:34
Speaker 5: There's a lot of there's a lot of bands out there that are hired guns. I don't think most people can tell, but you know, being on the side of the business, you can. I can tell when a band is hired and just playing the show, or I can tell when a band's a band.

00:43:46
Speaker 3: Really and just chemistry different news. Yeah, there's there's chemistry.

00:43:51
Speaker 5: We've we've been around each other now five plus years everybody, which is rare to keep guys around that long. And and uh, I guess on top of that, we've, like I said, we've gone from single idiots to now everybody's got families besides myself on stage, so uh, you know, I've gone through that part of life with them too, and so we're really close in that in that way, and so I don't want to let anybody go. I think if I have a choice, I'm not going to do it, you know, and I and I have that choice, and I'm not doing it so far.

00:44:22
Speaker 2: Right, Why is that rare? Why is it rare that you have a band together for five plus years?

00:44:27
Speaker 5: It's tough, you know, I mean to to know that. You know, we played one hundred and eighty something shows a few years back and that's gone down. And I don't know, I think personalities, you know, when you think about another profession, I guess sports teams would be the same where you're around somebody that close.

00:44:43
Speaker 3: But we're literally living on a bus like this, yeah, for that many days. I mean, like this on top of on top of co working.

00:44:51
Speaker 5: Uh you've got to get on a bus and live with them too, man.

00:44:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's rare.

00:44:55
Speaker 5: Usually you feel like, you think about relationships, you take five marriages, six marriages, and one of those marriages does not lasting five years?

00:45:03
Speaker 3: Right right a bus.

00:45:06
Speaker 2: You feel like it's like being around somebody to like a banding around each other too much that happens or is it too.

00:45:12
Speaker 5: Much a personality thing? I think we lucked out, man. I think it's a I think it's a ying and yang of all our personalities. Everybody's kind of got their own character and uh weirdness, and we kind of all dig it.

00:45:22
Speaker 3: You know, who are the boys?

00:45:23
Speaker 2: Shout them out? Because when I think a dust and Lynch, I just think of dust and Lynch. So when you're talking about the band, I'm like, oh, yeah, there's Does your band have a name like Dustin Lynch and.

00:45:33
Speaker 3: The Old Old Fast. We don't have it. We don't have an official name. But Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

00:45:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, we call ourselves the Old Fashions. That's that's the boys number three and.

00:45:44
Speaker 3: The Boys yea on the link. But man, we we've we've been going.

00:45:47
Speaker 5: We started out with four core guys. We added a new guy, Chris a couple of years ago. Now you're year and a half ago.

00:45:53
Speaker 3: So you can't shout out the new guy Chris, and I give the We got Crystal Court Metroll Curtis calling heally Billy for him and Chris Hurst don't even know, but I like Billy, So I have to think about their names because we all go by nicknames on the road, and Billy frames his nickname is Big Honkey, Big, Big.

00:46:14
Speaker 2: Honkey, Like you know, if you're hanging out and you're just kind of telling somebody new, like, dude, you're gonna love Big Honkey.

00:46:20
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I'm gonna love molready Big. Does he look like he sounds? Yes, he's thick. Yes, I'm thinking he wears hats like this, like a big truck her hat.

Speaker 4: He's a thick boy, and he likes wear overalls with no shirt.

00:46:42

But before he got that, he had We did a showy every year in Mexico with Luke Bryant and he's got Mexico Platto Carmen and can't moved to canc In this past year. Okay, cool, which is fun, But he's got the gold He's I think he's half I think Mexican, Hispanic something. Yeah, I thinks he's uh, it's I'm blanking on.

00:47:54
Speaker 5: We've gone through so many transitions on I mean really every aspect of the music business, but social media. It was not a huge thing when we started, so Kat and around back in the day was a lot easier, right, I mean, like now everybody can follow everything you're doing and know exactly where you're at. But back when we started, it was just it was awesome. He could kind of just be a pirate and disappear and get away.

00:48:17
Speaker 3: Your ms probably stay lit, of course. Yeah, no, no, those are real. Yeah man' no, don't do it. Don't do it. He show an old picture of my teeth. They were pretty beat up after this podcast.

00:51:32
Speaker 4: It's a real game. So I went to University of Michigan. Shout out University of Michigan, and on Stage Street. It would be the main road of the campus is on and I was right across the street from Yost Arena, which is where the hockey players play. And then there'd be a little side street in the next house right next to me, hockey boys. And in the springtime, all right, flowers are blooming, people are happy, the snow has thought. Everyone's just happy to get outside. People are dripping off that winter coat.

00:52:00
Speaker 3: You go and you go poop in a toilet.

00:52:02
Speaker 4: Then you take a butter knife one you're willing to get rid of poop, take some spoop out and you put it on a dollar bill. Then you go across the street in front of yours arena and you put that poop dollar face down, and then you hide and you drink beer. And you'd watch people of all ages, children, old, people, everything in between, mostly college kids walk by with their greedy little palms and pick up poopy dollars. And it was the funniest. It was the funniest experience of my entire life. It just then it evolved to poop being on the dollar, and there'd be fishing like a hook to a fishing string. And then that would get pulled so that people are chasing poopy dollars only to pick up the poopy dollar. But the live you have not, well, we'll play yeah, well yeah it is after we get off the lake, but.

00:52:57
Speaker 3: We'll film the whole thing. Did it'll be hilarious.

00:53:00
Speaker 4: The hockey players, you, they literally were the most just like disgusting human beings ever. We all drink Hams beer, love Hams beer.

00:53:08
Speaker 3: Told ninety five for thirty rack it was the best, lukewarm, leave.

00:53:11
Speaker 4: It outside for two hours, perfect, just ready to go, and he does.

00:53:15
Speaker 3: I mean it doesn't taste good, but I get what you're saying. Have you seen have you had it? Lukewarm beer, lukewarm Hams beer, lukewarm hands of luke warm beer.

00:53:24
Speaker 4: Hams is like so behind the chains as far as beer goes are still using pop tops almost. I think it's that much like it's unbelievable the place me and my wife got married, the reason why we chose it. It says they served Hams there, and I had a rule that you could only serve Hams beer, that you should have had one there.

00:53:39
Speaker 3: I had one that didn't have one lukewarm.

00:53:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, you never had just had it cold, because that's how I like, I had some sitting in the oven and our hotel rood.

00:53:48
Speaker 3: That's oh, doesn't sounds like he's got a better story than.

00:53:51
Speaker 5: To say, me and the band aids have a beer, we drink Miller High Life. If we're trying to get fired up. That's kind of like our that's your goat. Bass player just got married in February and uh, only only Miller High Life at the afterparty.

00:54:01
Speaker 4: So you're sitting on the bus and somebody walks on with a case of Miller High Life.

00:54:04
Speaker 3: You just know tonight's going to be the game on. I love that game on. You got a.

00:54:08
Speaker 4: Little something that triggers you that you know like it's gonna be.

00:54:11
Speaker 3: One of those nights.

00:54:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's awesome. If I saw poop on on a dollar bill, I knew it was gonna be one of those bests.

00:54:16
Speaker 3: You you know what I'm saying. It's just one of those things.

00:54:19
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry I started to think about I started to think about something like as that was going on, because now I'm thinking, like, yo, what is a like I want to I want to show story, like maybe one of the hardest things that show.

00:54:30
Speaker 3: He's very high minutes, but you need to show story.

00:54:33
Speaker 2: Like so, I was just thinking in my head, you know, I wonder, like, what's been the hardest kind of show to get up for that You're just like fuck boys, like we got to get up for this somehow like.

00:54:41
Speaker 3: Story like a hangover story.

00:54:45
Speaker 2: But I don't know, like maybe on the bus, like I'm not up to go out there on stage, like the boys got a rally to go on stage. I need a picture painted, like the way Taylor painted the poop dollar picture. I feel like we can animate that and make something out of it.

00:54:58
Speaker 1: Now.

00:54:58
Speaker 3: I want to hear something to work. I wish I could remember town's better. We're up, We're up. Golly, I've tried to remember what town this is in. It was somewhere up north. It might have been Michigan as well. I'll tell you what made a big noticing presence in this market.

00:55:14
Speaker 5: It was Michigan or Pennsylvania. And the bandits would know this. God bless his soul. He's no longer in the band. But the way this this starts is is we were a little banged up from the night before. As you said, this is back in the day new right.

00:55:30
Speaker 3: And when touring's new, you go from having a buy beer or Woodford or whatever to now it's part of the backstage rider, right, So you can go and what do y'all want?

00:55:40
Speaker 5: And it's literally anything you can dream up. I mean anything, food, drink, whatever. So really, as broke dudes hitting the road for the first year or two, it's like, oh, I know you had that feeling. We can we can get what? And so we partied a lot back in the day and we're a little banged up. So because we were banged up this this particular day, I think Michigan we started drinking a little early to get hype, right, you get over the edge, hair of the dog type thing.

00:56:05
Speaker 3: Well, this was do you have casinos in Michigan? This could this could end it right here?

00:56:11
Speaker 4: I think there's casinos across the pond in Windsor.

00:56:16
Speaker 3: Okay, so what Michigan then, But it might have been anyway, but it might have been I might have been more Sorry you lost real anyways, So we were in one pretty good by the time the show starts, which is rare. It's rare. I hate take that back.

00:56:30
Speaker 4: There are casinos in Michigan. There are there are casinos in Detroit. Too late, too late, you're not miss Okay, we're not in Michigan anymore. Wait, what's rare being upper.

00:56:38
Speaker 3: Showing being any any sort of way hard buzz before hitting the stage? Every country ards did it in the eighties. For some reason, I feel like everybody got wrecked before the show. Probably so I think now with social media and everything on YouTube, and I can't imagine you can show.

00:56:54
Speaker 5: Up and do your best. I mean for the fans too. I mean we'll have, you know, a drink or two before the stage, but not.

00:56:58
Speaker 3: Like been raging but right, So, anyways, we've been ranged this thing. Everybody's feeling good. Well, my old keyboard player he dipped his toes a little deeper and a little deeper. This is great, he did. This was a little deeper. And about midway through the set, I look back and he's on a pan. He's sitting down a piano and he's on the right. He's lean back playing piano like this and nailing it playing the pianos, and so I'm like, oh Jesus, you know we can make it. Though, believe he's that good, We're gonna make it. He's not that he's not the band anymore. He's not, but I'll get there. So he's so he hits that moment.

00:57:42
Speaker 5: So I'm like, I had this this break so the band guys can take a leak, you know, show guitar, right right, they take a leak. Well, apparently they grab him off stage. They're trying to pep him up. You know, come on, dude, we got this.

00:57:55
Speaker 3: Instead of coming back to the stage, we kick off, and the dude is at the bar order and drinks at the bar.

00:58:03
Speaker 1: Show.

00:58:04
Speaker 3: He's right there. Did you imagine say he's ordered shot. So I'm like, I'm looking around with looking like what the you know, like, all right, here we go, gonna have to have that talk after the show. But at the same time, at the same time, we're we've been drinking, so we're laughing our asses off. Right, this is awesome. It's like what a ragers. So he comes back, gets back on. By the time I get off stage, he's passed out based down in the front end of the bus.

00:58:28
Speaker 2: Right, he's on the bus stop but he's on the He's on the bus before you guys get there.

00:58:31
Speaker 3: Literally walked in the door and passed out, like right there, just step over him. The man's had a hard night. So we're like, what, We're feeling good. We got some girls, they want to go at the bar. We leave him there. Yeah, come back and it looked like there had been thirty two kids having a food fight on the bus. He apparently got the pantries due the fridge. Whatever. Anyways, that's one of the great stories I can tell legally. I love that. But the redeeming end of.

00:58:55
Speaker 5: The story is we had to let him go a short time afterwards. But were we were pretty buzzed one night and we were on tour with Luke Bryant and We're getting to play all these awesome football stadiums, and so we were feeling good one night and I'm like, I had this briday. I was like, dude, his nickname is Hard. What if Hard makes a cameo at Forgive Me for not whatever? The Patriots field name is Gillette Gietta. What if Hard makes a cameo for Gillette? What if we just cold call him up and hire him for the one nine only at Gillette Stadium? And we did, and he showed up no Gellette Stadium with us for two nights.

00:59:32
Speaker 3: That's awesome. That's that's a good one. I don't know, there's a couple more good ones, but yeah, we don't want to get nobody in trouble. The last thing we want is like, hey, could you take this part out of here? Oh man, that was a good story. Yeah, no doubt, like the fact that he gets to make a cameo and Gillette's what are those your favorite places to play? For our stadium? I mean it's tough to beat, Like it's tough to beat football stadiums. Uh, but I would say my favorite is Wrigley Field. I was a team. I was a little league cub, so to be, you know, to grow up a cub playing ball and then get to go actually play on the field. Play you playing little league? You were a cub the entire time. No, so, I guess it would have been what are they after, coach pitch? What is it?

01:00:16
Speaker 1: Little league?

01:00:17
Speaker 3: Literally?

01:00:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, Miners Majors little League in Arizona.

01:00:20

01:00:25
Speaker 2: Yeah when you're young, Yeah, when you're young, getting to be like the pro teams on the only thing on the back was like sponsored by TJ.

01:00:34
Speaker 3: Plumbing, blumbing, but you got the club.

01:00:39
Speaker 2: You're like, all right, whatever team you're on, like that's just your favorite team probably from that moment on, like you know, I'm a cup for.

01:00:46
Speaker 3: Like buzz kicks around, like sponsoring a little league team. Just you should not, dude, I take the bus, will go in on you with that incredible just having we should we should get a bunch of lasers whatever when they come.

01:00:58
Speaker 4: The whole, we should all go answer a whole little like you do it, the bust will do it. We'll get a couple other guys, so all the sponsored little league teams.

01:01:05
Speaker 3: And then we'll gamble on them.

01:01:10
Speaker 2: We said, we said, we were all there just like hey, what do you got here?

Thirty five? Damn old dude. Yeah you're up there now. But I'm in better safe than thirty four, twenties or thirties. What's thirties? You liked that better for me now? I guess it depends on what your career.

01:02:33
Speaker 4: For me, thirty and quarantine happened least like COVID has happened.

01:02:36
Speaker 3: It's been a bad start. But did you start a grounds here?

01:02:41
Speaker 1: Yeah?

01:02:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure.

01:02:43
Speaker 5: I think for me, but like thirties, because of where my career has gone from thirty to now. Just the comfortability of or figuring out how to do it. You know, it takes years to figure like no one, no one grows up knowing how to do it.

01:02:56
Speaker 3: I luckily had.

01:02:58
Speaker 5: I feel like I dropped too many names, but I'm telling the story, so I'm going to My first tour I was on was Keith Urban Boom, and I hate that I didn't get to see him in his party days because I heard he was awesome.

01:03:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm glad I had a dude, my first guy I was out with that wasn't in it in the party and all that stuff as a Yeah, it's just it's so not real life going town to town with you know, twenty thirty thousand people.

01:03:25
Speaker 5: It was nice to have a guy that was regimented. I mean up every day, working out, eat and clean. It was like, Okay, this is how the pro does it. Yeah versus you know, if I was out there with you named name one of my pudds to.

01:03:36
Speaker 3: Somebody young with you, it would it would be it would have been a tough ride.

01:03:41
Speaker 1: You know.

01:03:41
Speaker 5: I don't think I'd had that that teammate to look up to, you know, I guess in y'all's world.

01:03:46
Speaker 4: No question, dude, that's awesome. You talked about you talked about Dairy Queen. He was responsible dairy Queen. If you could be sponsored by, like one thing, what would you be sponsored by?

01:03:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good question.

01:03:57
Speaker 3: Question. This is this is tough because I've got some great sponsors. What we've talked about.

01:04:06
Speaker 4: Them before the podcast. It's fine, he's got your got your shout out.

01:04:10
Speaker 3: What what do you I don't know how podcasts we do, like y'alls.

01:04:15
Speaker 2: But we don't care like we'll say, you know somebody else. So we're trying to get.

01:04:19
Speaker 3: You in to dream sponsorship.

01:04:22
Speaker 4: Dream dude, that's a tough one. It looks over here like you better not be saying some ship now.

01:04:27
Speaker 1: No.

01:04:27
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no wrong answer. I think, uh, because because if you say dream sponsorship, then it would have to come with something more than money, right, like something there's got to these benefits of So.

01:04:36
Speaker 4: One of them, Okay, it's all just all ease us into this. One of my dream sponsors would be Vans, Like I've been wearing Vans seven years old. Yes, dude, I actually went to Vans when I first got drafted and I was like, man, maybe I'll get like a van sponsorship, maybe they make a cleap for me or something like that that we sit.

01:04:50
Speaker 3: I think I can't picture. I got like one courtesy email back saying no, we don't do that. Sorry, that was it. I gotta I'm gonna say this because this probably would be my answer if it was isn't already But John John Deere is a partner. Yeah, man, that's sponsors. It's such a time. As I remember one of my dad's friends that had a farm. I would always wear a John de Your hat and he always had it sitting in the mudroom when I would walk in, and I was like, I thought he was the coolest dude ever because he farmed and had a John Dear hat. Now, I don't know, it's just been in my blood forever. But to be, you know, to be working with those guys now is really cool. And to get free tractors is awesome. So you got a farm, you're a farmer. Well, I think I'm a hunter. You're a farmer the farm for Deer in Turkey.

01:05:37
Speaker 4: I was out there playing, playing a show and then getting to get his corn ready or whatever.

01:05:43
Speaker 3: Literally, I came from the farm I took a shower quick and came here. I've been working all morning on it, but I love it.

01:05:48
Speaker 5: There's something I think. My world is so abstract. You know, there's no win or lose in my world. It's make something. And most of the time it sucks. As a songwriter, it does. I mean, it's just way it goes.

01:06:00
Speaker 3: You look out and have it, have it going every now and again, and that's what we put out to radio. But having a farm is a way to come off the road.

01:06:08
Speaker 5: And like, like this morning, I had some fields that need to be cut and that that doesn't look good, and I cut in as good.

01:06:15
Speaker 3: It's like there's there's some sort of like progress you get to see, there's some sort of concrete gratification that happens.

01:06:23
Speaker 5: That's what's been so important for me about figuring out what do I need in my life outside of what I love doing, which is music, What what mentally helps me out, And it's being on the water with Jack and and having a farm and just be outside of working.

01:06:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I we died it for like an hour and a half this morning and sounds fun, it's great, but it took me back because I cut grass for to make rent before I had a record deal in town, and also tested sewage right up the street here, literally right up there.
