When all this happened. So, talked about the brew house a while ago. Yeah. We actually had a show at the Brew House the week the world like went to hell in a hand basket. Really? So like some people on the team, like reaching outs, like they're like recommending, you know, we cancel the show and they're like, in Georgia at the time. Cause this was like right then you could still have people of a thousand people at, of a, of a crowd of a thousand people. Well the brew house only holds like 750. And I was like, well hell, even if we sold it out, like we're golden. And I was like, I'm just gonna have to play it, you know, and we're gonna have to do it. And it was literally the weekend it happened and that was on a Saturday. The following Monday, everything just gets shut down completely. Yeah. And you know, I was like, well, yeah, I hate riding on Zoom, so I'm gonna go back home and hang out for a Speaker 1 00:01:26 Little bit. So, so our our last time out in the road and it wasn't quite an experience for me being, being Yankee boy go Yanks. By the way, today is opening day. Um, Speaker 2 00:01:35 Go Bravos. Yeah, Speaker 1 00:01:36 Bravos <laugh>. But, um, our, the last show that we got to do with, with Gary and Chuck and the, the Musk I guys was at a mud park in Leesville, Mississippi. Okay. A Speaker 2 00:01:45 Mud park. Like a mud box. Speaker 1 00:01:47 Like a mud bog. Like it's just a bunch of like guys and girls orchid oil industry. Speaker 3 00:01:52 Yeah, I was about to say, basically what they did is they paid like a fee to get into the park for the day and it included your concert ticket. And so like, you'd go mudding all day and then like, what? We take the stage at like 10 o'clock. At 10 o'clock. Speaker 2 00:02:05 My kind Speaker 1 00:02:05 Party people are boozing all Speaker 3 00:02:08 Day's. Daughter was opening up Tyler's trip. Yeah. Opened up. It was like, it was fun. Speaker 1 00:02:11 Yeah, it was, it was wild. And it was something, me being from New York had never seen and we went out there and we were just walking around. It was me, Gary, and Lee, um, our TM and Lee. Um, or we were talking to these guys, they were like, y'all wanna go out? And they were like, they were pointing at me and they were like, Yankee boys gotta go out. Oh yeah. So I went, I went out the side by side and we went through all these holes and I was just covered. And people just tossing bush lights to each show them all, they're moving, kids getting stuck with their snorkels and shit. It was Oh yeah. It was wild man. But it's crazy now to think that was like the last show, but I'm glad you got to do that hometown show right before it started. So what was that night like? What's a night for Dawson Edwards at the Brew House? Cuz that's, that's a home, that's a home game for you. Speaker 2 00:02:53 Yeah, it is. So it it, I, the previous two shows we played there, we sold almost 400 tickets at both shows. And I was like, you know, that's like hometown boy, like selling 400 tickets to brewhouse, like solid deal. And we, you know, there was like whispers going around about the coronavirus, but no one really knew like what was gonna go down. And we got there and we ended up selling like right under 300. So like, it did hurt us a little bit, but man, we had a ball. I mean, people were slammed in there. And I walked out on stage with the Corona beer and I'm like, that's like hell, I got like, hell yeah. Because it was like, uh, uh, what's the lucky holiday Green? Um, St. Speaker 1 00:03:31 Patrick's Speaker 2 00:03:31 Day. Patty's Day. So it was that weekend. Oh boy. So we got like, we got like clover's and green necklaces and stuff. I'm wearing a Braves jersey. I'm wearing a Kuna jersey, you know. Oh yeah. And I'm like going out there and like we just, you know, did our just part did Speaker 1 00:03:42 Our thing. You just go out there and party for an hour and a half. Speaker 3 00:03:44 Yes. Speaking of the Braves and a Kuna, did you see where he was the uh, he's got the best odds to be named, uh, in l MVP this year? Yes, Speaker 2 00:03:53 I did see that. Yeah. And it probably be, it'd probably be the youngest ever if he gets it right. Speaker 3 00:03:58 I, I believe Speaker 1 00:03:58 So. It would be very close. Speaker 2 00:04:00 I mean, he's like breaking all the young, I mean, dude's only like, he's the youngest person ever signed that massive deal. He is only like 21 years old or something. Speaker 3 00:04:06 And like everybody whenever the break, so I don't know if you know the deal, he signed like a 10 year a hundred million dollar contract. Right. Speaker 2 00:04:11 The youngest for the like biggest for the youngest player. Speaker 3 00:04:14 Yeah. And everybody whenever they came out was like, yo, dude, why are you signing this contract? Like, you're stupid because, you know, basically like you're gonna be able to sign a max contract. But you think about it like, the kid comes from like a different country and all and he like, he was like, I wanna play as a brave. Yeah. And this ensures I'll do this. Yeah. And it ensures that my family's gonna be taken care of. Speaker 1 00:04:37 Yeah. And it's a bit, can Speaker 2 00:04:38 Only be 31 when it's over. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:04:39 He'll still be in, Speaker 3 00:04:40 He'll still sign a he'll. Speaker 1 00:04:42 You know, nobody's gonna come. He's gonna look great in Pinstripes baby. Is that right? We're gonna have, we're gonna have him out in center field right next to Aaron Judge Speaker 3 00:04:51 Second Andrew Jones there. Speaker 1 00:04:52 That ain't it. Yeah, right. Andrew Jones 2.0 for real. Hopefully. Fuck that. Hopefully, hopefully he wins a series. Did Andrew Jones win a World Series with you guys? Was he on the 95 team? Speaker 3 00:05:01 Uh, Speaker 2 00:05:01 I don't think so. I Speaker 3 00:05:02 Believe he was actually. Oh, was, I think he was. I Speaker 2 00:05:05 Can't, I wasn't even born in when they went When they won. Yeah. Unfortunately. Yeah. Cause you, that was a year before I was born. Speaker 1 00:05:10 See I was born the year I was born the year, um, I was born in 95. So I was born in between the New York sports years. The Rangers won in 94 with hockey and then, but the Knicks fucked up in 94 and then the Yankees dynasty started. I, my first year on this earth was when Jeter started. Ah, yeah. So I was spoiled. I've been spoiled as hell as a Yankee. Yeah. Speaker 3 00:05:29 See my first year was whenever Chipper started with the Braves, so I gotcha. You know, like I've, you know, growing up in Atlanta and stuff, like I was always a chipper fan. Like we would literally have fights and like parents would pay money to whoever got to wear number 10. Speaker 2 00:05:41 Yeah. Dude. Like Chip's, Speaker 3 00:05:42 How big, big Chipper comes Speaker 2 00:05:44 Was us Chip. He's, he's a hero kind of superhero kind of guy. Speaker 3 00:05:47 So do you go to the Braves games a Speaker 2 00:05:48 Lot? I have. I I didn't go to a whole lot to 'em when I was younger. Yeah. But here recently, I, I love the new stadium. Speaker 1 00:05:53 Yeah. What's the new stadium like? Cuz Turner Fields wasn't, see he hasn't been yet. Turner Field's a histor was a historic spot for you guys. A lot of big things happened there. And then what was the other one? Fulton County or whatever. Fulton County. Fulton Stadium. Yeah. So you guys made, had a lot of history. Y'all are a storied franchise. Yeah. Just like as a Yankees fan. Yeah, storied franchise. I hate our new stadium. I miss our old stadium so much and it's because of all the stuff that happened there. But what, what's this new stadium like for you Speaker 2 00:06:15 Guys? Honestly, I love it cuz it was in such a bad part. I mean they, the reason, like, one of the main reasons they moved it was like, because of all the crime and just like bad stuff going on, like right around the stadium. And so they moved it into like Cobb County and that. It's in Cobb County now. Yeah. It's Speaker 3 00:06:29 North of town now. Speaker 2 00:06:30 Yeah. So it's like in, it's, it's in a, they got the battery right there. You got this like walkway with like bars and restaurants like right into it. And you got this Speaker 3 00:06:38 Omni Speaker 1 00:06:39 Have have I been to this place? Speaker 3 00:06:41 I go to? Yeah. This is whenever you met, uh, what's his name? Caleb. Speaker 1 00:06:44 Fuck <laugh>. Yeah. I was, I was, I I was getting, we'll say I was getting my Ryan Nelson on a lot that night. Okay. I I, that's a little blurry. Um, but yeah, so I do remember, I do remember that area now. We was like, it's like, it's like that area is awesome, the battery. Speaker 3 00:06:57 You guys also haven't been over there cuz that night me and a couple of the other guys went and watched the Joker at the movie Thers like idiots. Speaker 1 00:07:03 I went and watched the Giants Patriots pre-season game and I was freaking out. I was, I you could tell I was the only New Yorker in there. Yeah, for sure. Because I was like cussing whenever Tom Brady would complete a pass <laugh>. Um, and everybody was looking at me like, who the fuck is this guy? Like why is number? We're just louder people. Yeah. And like there's, I I definitely stood out. Yeah. But that's the battery's out in like right field, right? Yeah, it's behind right? It's Speaker 2 00:07:24 Right there. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:07:25 Yeah. I've been there. It's, it's y'all, y'all have, y'all have a good setup and see the thing. Speaker 3 00:07:29 I'll have a really good, I haven't been, but the thing I do like about the new stadium and what a lot of people said is it's a lot more intimate because Turner Field was massive. Speaker 2 00:07:38 Yeah. Speaker 3 00:07:38 Like dude, you could fit a ton of people in there and like if you set up in the upper deck, dude, like you need binoculars. Speaker 1 00:07:45 It was the nosebleeds. Speaker 3 00:07:46 Yeah. Yeah. Like it looks, it was Speaker 2 00:07:48 The first time I ever actually went to the SunTrust park. It's called something else now because they like Speaker 3 00:07:52 Truist. Truist. Yeah. Because SunTrust and BB and t merged together. Speaker 2 00:07:56 Yeah. So now it's like purple and I don't even like how that sounds, so I'm just gonna keep calling it SunTrust. Speaker 1 00:08:00 SunTrust. There you Speaker 2 00:08:01 Go. And SunTrust is like, they're like started in the state of Georgia. So I'm just gonna keep calling it SunTrust. Well, SunTrust Speaker 3 00:08:06 Wasn't, BB and t also started in Florida, in Georgia. I Speaker 2 00:08:09 Don't re I don't know. I they're all Speaker 3 00:08:11 SunTrust. I know they're all over Georgia. Cause that's who my grandparents used to bank with, so Speaker 2 00:08:15 I have Speaker 1 00:08:15 No idea. So what was your first time at SunTrust? Like? Well, Speaker 2 00:08:18 It was for an Alde concert. Shit. The, that was, it was actually just popped up in my memories either yesterday or day before. So it was two years ago, like right now. And, uh, a group of friends were going and like, hey, like somebody dropped out, like can't come. Like, do you wanna come to the Al Dean show? Didn't have to pay a dime. I just had a ticket. And it was when, uh, Luke Combs, Hootie and the Blowfish, and then Al Dean played. I Speaker 1 00:08:40 Remember, I remember that. And Speaker 2 00:08:40 Lauren and Elena I think was playing too. And it was just awesome. So we originally were like sitting way up in like, like over by first base, like over towards that way. Well then my cousin sends me a text message and was like, Hey dude, like thinking about you tonight, like sends me a picture of like the stage or something. I can't remember what it was. I was like, dude, are you here? And he's like, yeah. I was like, dude, I'm like right over here too. He is like, come over here. They're on the third baseline front row. No one was sitting next to him. And we just go sit. Like I had like, there's like four people with us. We just go sit right there. So we get that view like right at it. Yeah. And they like sold the outfield out, you know, obviously. But what Speaker 1 00:09:15 Do you, what do you think of stadium shows like as a Concertgoer? Speaker 2 00:09:18 Ah, dude, I love that one. I mean, it, it was awesome. It was like, I'm a Aldean fan anyway. Yeah. And he, he, he just kicks ass. So I think that might be the only stadium show I've ever been to. I've been to a bunch of arena shows. Speaker 1 00:09:31 Yes. Speaker 2 00:09:32 But not stadium Speaker 1 00:09:33 Shows. So it's funny you talk about Aldean. My first time seeing Alde, it was the night train tour. Okay. When you had a baby Thomas Rhet. Yeah. Only song the kid had was beer with Jesus. Yeah. He's out there with an acoustic guitar and they, everybody just knew him as Red Aikins. Little, little son. Little Time. And this is back 20, this 20 12, 20 13. Yeah. We going back a little bit and then Long Hair Weed, smoking Beach Boy Jake Owen out there, there it's like Barefoot Blue G Knight and all that shit was just starting to come out. But seeing like Aldean puts on a show. A show. Yeah. And as a Georgia guy, it's, there's so many guys and girls you can look up to. I know. Like y'all are the Mecca. It's like you guys in Texas, North Carolina just come along, but Georgia like, I don't know, like when do they, do they just start? Do they like, give you a guitar, like out of the womb? Like what the frick is it like everybody in Georgia just Speaker 2 00:10:19 Plays music. I I really do think it's the people in Georgia. Yeah. Like it's like with y'all being on the road with Musk and I, and you see like people there are fans of like, finding new music and like coming to shows and stuff. So I think that has a lot to do with it. Like, Speaker 3 00:10:32 Also it's like the culture too is like, you know, yeah, you got Atlanta and all where you can like, do all that kind of stuff. But like Atlanta's one Atlanta's so much different than Georgia because like once you, once you get outside of Atlanta, it's either college towns or it's just very small rural farm towns for the most Speaker 1 00:10:51 Part. Like a place like Carrollton, Georgia, that's like a farm town. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to our buddy Noah Hicks. Carrollton, Georgia. Georgia. Speaker 3 00:10:58 Yeah. Even like down to states by stuff like that. 40 minutes from Speaker 1 00:11:00 Yeah. And then, and then you got places like Rome and then you got places and Speaker 3 00:11:03 Up north you got the mountains you got, Speaker 2 00:11:04 Which is where we're Speaker 1 00:11:05 At. And Athens and Statesboro and all those different areas. Speaker 3 00:11:09 So what that is though is you get a lot of good old boys that can play guitar and Speaker 2 00:11:13 They can go to the college towns and like obviously Speaker 3 00:11:15 People enjoy that, that, but honestly it's like, same thing with me living in Alabama. Like I was in Alabama last week, one night, it was just me and the boys. We got around a campfire. It was hot as hell. Don't know why we were having a fire, but we lit one Speaker 2 00:11:28 Up. Did you have one anyway? Speaker 3 00:11:29 Yeah. And we just literally grabbed guitars and played for like four hours. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:11:33 So just sitting around a fire and drinking beer with your buddies and playing guitar is just Yeah, Speaker 3 00:11:37 Yeah. Speaker 1 00:11:37 Just what you do. That Speaker 3 00:11:38 That'ss just that's a Friday or Saturday night. And Speaker 2 00:11:40 Then, and I feel like there's a lot of people that, that's just like what they, that's all they wanted to do. But like in my case, like I was, I was like, like I told you before we started, like I was just like, man, I wanna get to Speaker 1 00:11:49 Nashville. When did that start? What was it that was like, I want to be on a stage, I wanna be singing country damn music. Speaker 2 00:11:55 I, I tell everybody this story, and this is, I swear to God, this is exactly when it hit me. But I, I started playing music and stuff, like writing songs, playing guitar like 13, 14. But I was probably like 16 years old I'd say. And I saw, um, it was back when they still had the Opry, like on tv, you know, and it was Eric Church and Randy Houser and Sinners like me. I had the lyrics tattooed on my arm, like greatest album of all time in my opinion. And, uh, he gets up there like church plays, sinners, like me acoustic. And I was like, oh my God, this is awesome. And then Randy Hower gets up there and it was before, and I don't know if you remember his song, I don't even know if it's out anymore. We're called in God's Time. Yeah. Okay. So like, he gets up there, he's like, I think he might have said like, I wrote this last night. Like, he gets up there and like messes the song up. Seems the same verse like twice. Anyway, he's on a bar stool in, in the Opry Circle, sweating his ass off. He's back when he had the long hair, like still just outlawed Speaker 1 00:12:50 Big old boy. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:12:50 Yeah. So he's up there like this big Gibson guitar sweating his ass off, long hair, playing this song in God's time. And I'm like, that is what I want to do. And like, I swear that was the moment I hit me and I was like, that is it. Like that is what I wanna do. And literally from that moment, I've, every decision I've made is to get to Nashville or advance my career in some way, shape, or form. Speaker 1 00:13:12 That's awesome. So moving to Nashville, you said you were 19. Speaker 2 00:13:15 19, Speaker 1 00:13:15 What's it like Speaker 2 00:13:16 By like a couple of days? Speaker 1 00:13:17 19. Yeah. What's it like being under 21? Moving to Nashville? Because for me, I came down a few years after, and again, I, I'm, I know I'm drinking a non-alcoholic butch latte because I'm here with Dawson Edwards. Cheers buddy. Cheers. Um, but like, I, I don't drink anymore. I've, I haven't gotten hammered in about four years, which is, which has been great. Yeah. But so much of this town is going to bars, even just networking. What's it like being an underage or coming into town, man? Speaker 2 00:13:41 It is. Or Speaker 1 00:13:41 At least underage or on the books. You might have been, you might have been of age in South Carolina or Mississippi or Alabama. Speaker 2 00:13:48 It was, uh, honestly it was, it was weird. I had a buddy, he, he moved here about a year before he moved here about a year before me. But it wasn't necessarily from music. He was just, his grandparents lived like in, uh, Eagleville, which is like probably 40 minutes outside of town. Yeah. So he lived up here and actually did a senior year of high school here. And so me and him actually moved into this little bitty spot together at this little studio apartment thing, like super small. We moved up here together. He's the same age as me. And um, honestly went to the listening room a lot. Like you can get in there. Like, I spent a lot of time, the first time we moved to town, Shane McInally, uh, Josh Osborne, Andre Akins play at the listen room. They took us like five bucks and we went and it was like, Speaker 1 00:14:32 That's ridiculous. Like those, those kind of lineups don't happen anymore. Speaker 2 00:14:35 Oh dude, it was insane. I mean it was like, I remember it like it was yesterday and that was over five years ago. So like, we went there a lot. And then y'all know Chad Bishop probably Don too. Speaker 1 00:14:43 Oh yeah, we know Chad. So Speaker 2 00:14:45 Chad is a, a couple, I think he's like just a couple years older than me, maybe even like a year, whatever it was, he had a fake ID and right when he turned 21, so it was Ryan Nelson's, uh, first ever whiskey jam show. That's just me. This, this is a hell of a story. So I'm like, I wrote with Jordan Fletcher and, uh, Ryan Nelson, the day that Ryan makes his whiskey jam debut, it's like, I'm just chilling with those guys all day. And I'm like 19, you know, like, I'm like, not can't get into winters, you know. So Ryan's like, dude just like grab my guitars or something. Like they're not gonna say anything to you. Like now they do. Now if you have a guitar, they still ID when you go in. But he was like, grab some guitars and just like go in. So Chad just had turned 21, gives me this ID of this dude that he had. The dude has a beard but doesn't have a mustache just like I do. And I'm like, well this is the ticket. So he gives me that, but I don't even have to use it that night. I just go in and I carry it. It gets, I carry like maybe like Jordan's Cys or something, like Ryan's guitar and I walk in and like, oh, this Speaker 3 00:15:45 Is when Jordan was still playing drums. Speaker 2 00:15:47 Yeah. Jordan played drums for Ryan that night. Speaker 1 00:15:49 Yeah, because he used to tour with Job. Yeah, yeah. They both did. They Speaker 2 00:15:52 Were their band. That was Joe's band. Speaker 3 00:15:54 Yeah. Speaker 2 00:15:54 <laugh>. Yeah. That was the good old, I mean, that was five years ago. I mean, that was like legit. That was like the, I mean, times were so d I mean so different now. Yeah. But that was how I got in that night and that's how I got Chad's old fake id. So he gave me that and then I used that. I got into like some all, like Corey, uh, Cody Johnson played here in town. I got into his show. Like just all kind of stuff with that. It ended up finally getting taken at a bar one night. But yeah, so to help me out time. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:16:20 We, I, we used to take IDs for sport. So I was a door guy. He was a door guy. We used to work at Whiskey Row on Broadway. I helped Speaker 3 00:16:28 Train him as a door Speaker 1 00:16:29 Guy. So we had my, my old, so I used to live with, um, Ethan Willis and um Okay. Yeah, I know who. And then, uh, Dakota Tate is was our other roommate. We were all door guys on Broadway. Yeah. We had a binder bro. And we had it alpha, we had it alphabetized by state, over 900 fake IDs that we've caught. Oh my Speaker 2 00:16:45 God. Speaker 1 00:16:45 State by state. We have freaking fake England. Id like, like green cards, like passport, all kinds of shit. Like I used to catch 15 at night. So that's what, do you remember what bar it was? Speaker 2 00:16:55 Yeah, it was a place called, uh, uh, it's a stupid name. The Wild Beaver. Speaker 3 00:17:03 You gotta take it in the Wild Beaver. Speaker 1 00:17:04 How the fuck does that happen?

Speaker 2 00:17:20 <laugh>, we uh, so y'all know Caleb Conrad don't Speaker 1 00:17:24 Neighbor rings a Speaker 2 00:17:24 Bell. I don't. No. Well, he's like one of my best buddies. And me and him went out and uh, I'd like gotten cash out to go like hang out. So we go hang out, like meet these girls or whatever.

You're seeing, you're the first thing girls see when they come into the bar and I'm the token Yankee, they think they're coming down here finding somebody like you or Boudreau over here talking all Southern and country and shit. And I'm like, Hey, how you doing? Like throwing the joey from Friends thing. Yeah. And then you meet you, you meet them during the day and then when you get off at seven, you text them to meet you at the Wild Beaver. There you go. I would bring my change of clothes or whatever and we would literally just top out and Wild Beaver's. Sunday nights were damn a shit show, dude. Damn. Speaker 3 00:19:14 What the thing was was it was an industry night. It's changed management now and they don't do anymore. But it used to be industry nights. So if they knew you worked at the bar, dude, I have got, I bought myself drinks another guy drinks my girlfriend, my ex-girlfriend drinks and like pretty much bought around for the whole bar and walked outta there paying $60. Hell yeah. Like they would do, it was $1. Those Speaker 2 00:19:35 Days were definitely long dollar. Speaker 3 00:19:36 It was $1 shot, $2 mixed drink. I think like 50 cent a dollar beer. Like it was stupidly cheap. Like I would go get fucked up for like, hell yeah. 45 bucks <laugh>. That's what Speaker 1 00:19:47 I'm talking about. It was, it was bad bro. We, we did a lot of crazy shit. And then we would either, we would usually end up at Waffle House or we'd walk down Yeah. Or we'd walk down fourth or third or whatever. It wasn't get to the diner. Yeah. Speaker 3 00:19:57 I always ended up at the diner. Speaker 1 00:19:59 It'd always, it'd always order extra. And then he'd wake up and be like, why is there fucking food next to my bed? And I'd be like, you would Speaker 3 00:20:04 Do. I never did that. I Speaker 1 00:20:05 Thought you used to bring food Speaker 3 00:20:06 Back. No, I never, that wasn't me. Speaker 1 00:20:08 Might've been Koda, but whatever. Speaker 3 00:20:09 I'd always eat my food. Cause I, I don't order a lot there. Hell Speaker 1 00:20:12 Yeah. So talking about music and stuff. Yeah. You're kicking ass man. You've been putting out how many songs have you put out since fucking Corona started? Four. You've been killing it because almost every Well Speaker 2 00:20:22 We had 'em, we had 'em recorded Yeah. Before this. And like the whole point was, you know, touring and whatnot. And we got to do the Corey Smith tour last year and like, we're gonna have to go out with Corey some more. Speaker 1 00:20:32 So, so what, so as a Georgia guy, that's gotta be really cool because Corey is a Georgia legend. Legend, yes. What's what's it been like getting to know him and touring with him? Speaker 2 00:20:42 He's awesome. And I know Muscadine did some stuff back with him back in the day, but he's, he's awesome. He, it took a minute to like, I guess like get kinda warmed up to him, but like by the end of the tour, you know, you, you know how it is being on tour, by the end of it, you're like, feel like you're buddies, you know? And I haven't spoke to any of his crew in a while, but he had some eye surgery and was already taken the beginning of 2020 off. Anyway, it was supposed to hit it back in April. And so we were gonna, you know, go back and everything and then Coronavirus hit. So he was ahead of the curve, I guess he just had all his stuff canceled anyway. Speaker 1 00:21:13 What, what is that, uh, crowd like? What's a Cory Smith crowd like? Awesome. Speaker 2 00:21:18 Yeah. It was the biggest crowd I'd ever played for. We played for like 1500 people. Speaker 1 00:21:22 Where'd y'all Speaker 2 00:21:22 Go? House of Blues. Like that was like the, the style of shows on. We went to, uh, played Jackson, Tennessee, played uh, new Orleans, played Myrtle Beach and played Orlando, Florida on that last run. Nice. And we, we spent, uh, new Year's Eve in Myrtle Beach, which is just Plum Speaker 1 00:21:38 Wasn't the boat. Wasn't the boat house Dirty Speaker 2 00:21:40 Myrtle? It Speaker 1 00:21:41 Was the it was the House of Blues. House Blues. Yeah. Yeah. Myrtle's a an interesting place. That was the only time I've ever been there. I've only been there once. It was for like a, like a, Speaker 3 00:21:48 We played a show that Yeah, yeah, we played. So we got like scheduled and I don't, I don't remember the full story but you, anyways, we played like this like Christmas. Yeah, yeah, Speaker 1 00:22:00 Yeah. Yo, look at that smile on his, his Speaker 3 00:22:02 Face. Uh, we played like some Christmas like benefit thing. It was like Speaker 1 00:22:06 A, it was like a Toys for Tots like benefit thing. Yeah. So it was just, it was Speaker 2 00:22:10 Not as rowdy as, and I'm Speaker 3 00:22:11 Not gonna lie, the room, the room, the stage was where those, where that double door is behind you and I at front of house was right here. Oh wow. And we had three line arrays per side with two subs. And I was just sitting there like literally like wanting pretty much to kill myself. Yeah. Because like I could literally un-mic everything. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:22:33 You're getting your face Speaker 1 00:22:33 Blown. Yeah. Yeah. What boathouse usually does, they, they have that outdoor section and it's like a hill and looking down and they, it's like a mini amphitheater. Okay. Yeah. This was in December, so it was inside. So that's what made the difference. The night before we were in Coyote Joe's and it was like close to sold out. And Speaker 3 00:22:49 Before that we were at uh, blind Speaker 1 00:22:51 Horse Horse Saloon. Which you ever been there? You ever been? Haven't. Have you done a lot of shows in South Carolina? Being a Georgia Guy Haven? I haven't Cause Blind horse fucking rowdy bro. Rowdy. Like, so that's my other thing too. Seeing, just, just taking in like the, the, um, the country, the southern country crowd Yeah. Is very different from like the, the northern country crowd. Really? Y'all. Well it's just the, the route, like the party, like y'all get rowdy, you know, like this is what y'all do. Speaker 3 00:23:16 See what they don't have that we have is lits Speaker 1 00:23:18 What are lit? Oh, the lit. You know what a litter is. Never Speaker 3 00:23:21 Even heard of that. So think about this. You know how you can buy a picture of beer? Yeah. Well think if you go buy a picture of Jack and Coke 15. Speaker 1 00:23:29 Oh, Speaker 3 00:23:29 I've seen those. Yeah. $15 for $15. You can buy a picture of Jack and Coke or Moscow Mule or vodka soda or whatever Speaker 2 00:23:38 You want. Sounds like a black. That sounds like a blackout to me. Yeah. Well Speaker 1 00:23:40 That well that's the thing. You go to a place like the Blind Horse Salu and there Speaker 3 00:23:43 Are people double fisting these things. Oh Speaker 1 00:23:45 Yeah. Oh dude, dude, you got people pounding those all night. Speaker 2 00:23:48 I mean like, Speaker 3 00:23:49 Dude in Greenville, Carolina Speaker 1 00:23:51 Breed makes my life easy selling merge. Oh yeah. It's a lot easier. So to a drunk guy. Yeah. You're like, is she really your porch swing angel? You gotta buy her a shirt, man. Like, come on. Then girlfriend gets Greenville. Speaker 3 00:24:01 I literally, we kick off the set and the intro music's playing and we get through that first. Like I always say, I know how it show's gonna go by the time we get through the first course mm-hmm. <affirmative> of the first song. Yeah. If that's all going well, nothing's blown up yet. We're probably gonna have a great night. Yeah. Or it's just gonna be a shitty night. Yeah. Either way I get through that and I kind of like start seeing the crowd and there is this dude full up, like I thought he was dead, but he is getting dragged under his armpits by his friends out of there and has no movement. Like totally dead weight. And this was at the start and I saw about four more of those. I had some frat dude trying to come back there and tell me to turn it down, but he was so drunk he couldn't like finish a sentence and finally like the uh, house guys like got him out of there and stuff and like, dude, he was literally from like me to you, which is about six, seven feet. Yeah. And I could smell whiskey on his breath. Oh Speaker 1 00:24:59 Dude. Oh dude. My god. It gets, it gets a little crazy. But yeah, back to the songs you're putting out and stuff. Like I've been seeing just popping up just new song from Edwards here. Yeah. New song from Edwards here. Coldest thing in this bar is born of my favorites. I freaking love that song. So thanks. Dude. 2020s is about getting the music out, huh? Yeah. Speaker 2 00:25:16 And it, it was, it already was. I mean before the pandemic and everything, it already was about getting the music out and we uh, went in, we, we started working on at the end of 2019 I guess. And, and I have done two projects recently and the first one we did was just straight up put out a single and then EP and the second one was like, I wanna say how it goes putting out like single by single and seeing how that goes. And that's worked out well. Like it's just literally been a steady climb on like Spotify followers and stuff. Like it's just helped me out. It's Speaker 1 00:25:46 Interesting how that works because it is you like when we were, when we were all growing up, it was like the like getting the cd like you want the full Eric Church cd. Exactly. You want the full Alde cd. Not Speaker 3 00:25:57 Only if you want the full, you want the Speaker 1 00:25:59 Deluxe. Yeah, you want the deluxe for the, for the acoustic thing. It's Speaker 2 00:26:02 Got two extra songs on it or Speaker 1 00:26:03 Whatever. Yeah. Now it's just singles. Yeah. It's weird how that works, right? Speaker 2 00:26:07 Yeah. And I, and I'm still, I'm a record guy. Yeah. I mean I am a record guy. Speaker 3 00:26:12 I think like true musician fans Yeah. Are still record people, people that like, like us three sitting in this room, we're all musicians. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, we're all consumers. Like we are not a common consumer. We are diehards Exactly. To music. Like exactly. When we like somebody, we love them and go out. You get their Speaker 2 00:26:30 Lyrics Speaker 1 00:26:31 And you and you know, and you know what singles were originally for, the whole single system is made for radio. Yeah, for sure. And radio isn't what it used to be. Not at all. As a guy who worked in radio for a couple years and that's how I got to know, that's how I ended up here was from working radio meeting people. Yeah. It ain't what it used to be. You don't, you don't need anymore. Right. Which I think works out even better for say like the guys that we work for, what you're doing like, Speaker 2 00:26:52 Oh for guys like me in like our level guys. It's great. Speaker 1 00:26:55 Spotify is huge. Right. Speaker 3 00:26:56 And here's the thing that Spotify is done where CDs and Records mixed missed out on is Spotify has let the common consumer who could give two shits about music really let them become listeners through playlists and stuff like that. Exactly. So you release a single at a time, that's all they want to hear. They really don't care. Like if you release a single and you push that thing to playlist and stuff, you'll grow more attraction because it's allowed a lot more people who are not necessarily early adapters. They're not the people that are like the hardcore fans and stuff like that. It's allowed them in and honestly for them and for a lot of people music has become the background noise. Yep. Instead of having the news on anymore because the news has got so morbid now. Yeah. People have Spotify on and with things like Amazon Alexa and like, you know, the Apple HomePod and stuff like that. Like it allows you to just say, Hey this is the mood I want to be in play songs like this and it, the algorithms are so in Speaker 2 00:27:55 Depth they, I mean they killed it. Yeah. And it helps out too. Having got the whole uh, people also listening to Exactly. That's, that helps out Speaker 1 00:28:02 A time. And what's cool too is something I noticed, so I was, I had a 13 and a half hour drive back down here from New Jersey yesterday. Really listen to a lot of music and podcasts and all that stuff. Yeah. And I listened to a lot of, lot of your stuff just to get that, that refresher. Obviously I've been listening to you for a while and all that, but it was like once your catalog ended, it threw on other people that are like associated with you. Yes. Yes. I heard, I heard a Joy Beth Taylor song. Yeah, I heard, I heard it Alex, I heard Alex Maxwell's new stuff. Yeah, I heard Steven Paul's stuff. Yeah. Like you, like it connects you with Speaker 2 00:28:31 And they're all on the thing, like when you scroll to the bottom, it's, it says like people also, their fans also listen to whatever it is. Like they have their little profile picture down at the bottom. Yeah. And it's like you just click on it and that's, you know. Cool. Speaker 3 00:28:42 And also something cool that Spotify's done is it's allowed people who only listen to radio to now take that to their home also. Exactly. Like I said, it's just the background of everything. You know, people, there's literally people that I know that have never owned a CD or a record or anything in their life. They just listen, listen to the radio going down, but they just still the radio and if it's not on radio, they don't know who you're talking about. Speaker 2 00:29:02 No idea. It's even Speaker 3 00:29:02 A thing. And it has to be popular on radio for them to really know Exactly Speaker 1 00:29:05 For first CD you ever bought. Cuz you're, you're, you're old enough for you, you bought a cd. Yeah, Speaker 2 00:29:10 CDs. CDs were a big thing. And even like such a big thing. Like I used to ask for CDs for Christmas. Speaker 1 00:29:14 So what was, what was your first one that you were like, I mom, dad, I gotta have this? Speaker 2 00:29:19 Uh, my very first one I, I don't know off the top of my head but I remember this was probably like 2010 it ish. But uh, Justin Moore's first record and Josh Thompson's first record came out around the same time and I bought 'em both together at Walmart. Dude, Speaker 1 00:29:34 I missed Josh Thompson, the artist. He do, I have, he was so badass and I know Speaker 2 00:29:38 We the most underrated like probably the most underrated person in country music history of all time ever. Yeah. Cuz he's way out like Speaker 1 00:29:45 Out here. Cause he's getting, cuz he's getting songs that are like, he's getting cuts as a writer still and he's huge. He's gonna killing it right now. He's he's gonna have number ones probably long after he's gone. Yeah. Cuz he just says he just writes hits and people just love cutting his stuff. But I loved him as like beer on the table. Pat's a freaking gym. Speaker 2 00:30:01 I mean, I loved all this. I mean, I don't know if he's ever put out a song that I did not like. Speaker 1 00:30:05 Yeah, no. And that and then that Justin Moore, was that the one with um, Speaker 2 00:30:08 Small Town usa. Speaker 1 00:30:10 Oh, okay. Yeah, I remember that. You Speaker 2 00:30:11 Got a Hank it. Yeah, that Speaker 3 00:30:13 Was my, uh, that was my senior year of high school. So like I definitely remember that stuff. Yeah, dude. What was your first Speaker 1 00:30:18 Dd My first that I ever bought with my own money was Kenny Chesney. No shoes, no shirt, no problems. All Speaker 3 00:30:23 Right. I'm gonna surprise you. Remember that scene Everybody with mine? Speaker 2 00:30:26 Was it not Country? No, not country. Speaker 1 00:30:28 Was it Rap? Speaker 3 00:30:29 No. Backstreet Boys Back. Speaker 1 00:30:33 Wow. Speaker 3 00:30:33 That's who I was into. Wow. Like me being in the country. Speaker 2 00:30:36 Music at what, what age? Speaker 3 00:30:38 I I was young dude, but I remember like, that's who I always like, that was my always like as a kid, my dream concert. Like I would anytime they came to town, like I'd beg my parents. I never got to go. But like I was a huge Backstreet Boys. Interesting. I started eating Burger King cuz Burger King did the thing where if you spent an extra dollar you could get like their CDs. That's what I'm talking about. And like that kind of stuff. Speaker 2 00:30:59 What was the and the Little Crown thing? Berry King too. Speaker 3 00:31:01 Yeah. Speaker 1 00:31:01 I used, I used to wear that crown used. Oh yeah dude, I love that. That was a big deal. Oh yeah, that was a big deal. And back when they had king size everything. Oh, you know, fast food was fast food. Oh yeah. Which we'll talk about food in a second because we, we were talking about Boudreauxs a big foodie. I'm a big foodie real quick. I wanna, Speaker 2 00:31:17 You can tell I ain't miss the meal. I don't, I don't miss the meal. Speaker 1 00:31:19 Same dude, bro. I was just in the land of bagels and cannolis. Dude, Speaker 2 00:31:23 Your pictures were fire on Speaker 1 00:31:25 Social media. My cousin that I, that I was staying with, he's a chef. Um, so he's about to start, he was supposed to start working in New York City, like in, in like, um, the lower East side at like a big time restaurant. He was supposed to start and then Corona hit and all the restaurant and then she's over the place, but the kid can cook. Hell yeah. So he like, we, we we smoked ribs over the weekend. Yeah. He, he's making pizza himself. Like he's he's not buying like the pre-made dope. Yeah. He's making his own dope. Like we're going to like a, a market where we're the only white guys in there. Like it's a very like, diverse ethnic market in New Jersey. Yeah. And everything's in like Russian or Spanish or, or the Jewish kosher stuff or like Asian, like nothing's in English. Yeah. But he knows what all the different things are. That's awesome. Speaker 3 00:32:06 So I'll say this too, if you haven't anybody that's listening to this, if you haven't made it up north yet for food, it's a different world dude. It is. Speaker 1 00:32:14 It is. Like I, I lost 15 pounds when I moved down here within like a month of being down here. Really? Part of it I think was bouncing and like being on my feet and not sitting at a radio board like Speaker 3 00:32:23 Doing that. And he also moved down here in the summer. So like his, no, Speaker 1 00:32:25 I moved down here October. Speaker 3 00:32:26 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. But still even for October, like it was hot for him. Your Speaker 1 00:32:30 Ass off all the time's. Sweat my ass off. But dude, a typical day back home, I'd wake up, I'd go to the bagel place, I'd get a bacon, egg and cheese, salt, pepper, ketchup on a plain bagel. I'm doing a delivery job for my mom or I'm at the radio station. There's like, there's no matter where you are in New Jersey, there's a pizzeria within at least five miles. Yeah. Like a good pizzeria. You walk in and there's like 30 different kinds of slices and you walk over and say, I want that one and that one. Yeah. And so I would get pizza for lunch and then I go home. My mom had freaking penne vodka pasta the best fuck fucking Speaker 3 00:33:00 Penne vodka ever. Speaker 1 00:33:01 <laugh>. Yeah. The penne va. Yeah dude, I, so, so it's just carbs on carbs on carbs, that's, yeah. And then for dessert, my grandma's always got a freaking cake or a pie or this sort of that Speaker 3 00:33:10 Cannolis, we Speaker 1 00:33:11 Eat a lot of carbs. That's the thing. Everybody gives the south shit for having a lot of fast food and this and that. It's a lot like the eating style. Eating like, you can eat like shit no matter where you go. Like shit's gonna taste good no matter where you are. Speaker 3 00:33:23 Yes. I'm not gonna lie, I went to, I spent a summer in Southern New Jersey and I was considered like a smaller dude. Damn. Which is No, I was, I was probably like 20 pounds lighter at the time, but I was considered a smaller dude. Like there was dudes down there that are massive and it's because their mom or dad owned a diner or like eat Speaker 1 00:33:43 All the time y'all. And see I love Waffle House. I've had great times in Waffle House. They were, I'm sure. Well I don't, well see, I don't drink no more. Oh, I'm, I'm doing my Ryan Nelson. I got it in my Chad Bishop got, so we're, we're, we're we're eating and we're having a good time. But like after, after Speaker 3 00:33:57 Little Spacey Casey. Speaker 1 00:33:58 Yeah, Spacey Casey for sure. Um, but after shows with our, we don't go out and like rage and do crazy shit on the road. We go to the Waffle House and whatever city we're in or we hit a waffle house on the road. Yeah. So I've learned about hot syrup. I've learned about like, the secret menu at WA or like the lower, there's like all these little, like when you look at like a Waffle House menu and you're a new guy like me, there's Speaker 2 00:34:20 A lot of stuff going on in a Speaker 1 00:34:20 Waffle. Yeah. But, but on the bottom Speaker 3 00:34:21 Part, and here's the thing, waffle House is genius cuz they know their demographic and they know probably half of those guys can't really read. So they put the picture by everything that Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's like smart. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:34:32 Genius Speaker 1 00:34:33 Marketing. They know people are hammered so they just put the picture of the food on there. What's, what's your go-to at Waffle House? Allstar does depend on what the all star Speaker 2 00:34:40 Always has been and always will be probably Speaker 1 00:34:42 Forever. I see. I like the patty melt and then if I'm feeling frisky, I'll put waffle on Patty. Speaker 2 00:34:45 Patty melts are great. Speaker 1 00:34:46 They the, the Texas Bacon, the Texas Bacon Patty Mel or whatever. Yeah. And then getting um, the hash browns. How do you get your hash browns? Speaker 2 00:34:52 I get 'em with the cheese and I usually just get 'em with cheese normally, but Speaker 3 00:34:56 Yeah, I get cheese and ham. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:34:58 So what I get 'em covered, Speaker 2 00:34:59 Covered, smothered, scattered, covered and smothered. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's how it goes. Yeah Speaker 1 00:35:05 Dude, I, yeah, I've mine love Speaker 3 00:35:06 Mine's. Mine's covered in in chunked. Speaker 2 00:35:08 Yeah, covered in chunk. See mine's just covered. I just get it with the cheese. Yeah, usually. I mean I like all that other stuff. Speaker 1 00:35:13 Do you, do you double, do you double up on the hash brown too? I do. I double up on the hash brown. So I've done it. Speaker 3 00:35:17 I get frisky sometimes and like gimme a triple. Speaker 2 00:35:19 There you go. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:35:20 There boudro Boro gets after it. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. And that's what's funny. You see eight guys roll up in a sprinter van and they, we all, we hop out and just take up like two booths and just Speaker 3 00:35:29 Order. I will say though that I do believe that a Waffle House hangover or even a Taco Bell hangover, which I had the other day is probably worse than an alcohol hangover. Speaker 1 00:35:40 Like waking up after just pounding waffle Speaker 3 00:35:42 House waking and that brick in the bottom of your stomach. Yeah. <laugh> like is the worst thing. It's Speaker 2 00:35:47 It's a real thing. It's a real Speaker 1 00:35:48 Thing. Yeah. Where, what are some of your favorite spots? What, what's your favorite rest stop to hit on the road? Are you a loves guy? You a pilot guy? Speaker 2 00:35:55 Uh, just, I don't really care. I don't guess. We, I try to always hit the truck stop. So like if we're, if we're gonna have like a group stop mainly cuz like we got this, we got this van with the trailer, so we don't really do the sprint. We got the like 15 passenger van. Yeah. So that's what church van? Yeah, that's what we rock Speaker 3 00:36:11 <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:36:11 So it's, you know, it's long as hell. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:36:13 You know who else used to do the church van and it was actually a church man who co wetzel? Speaker 2 00:36:18 Hell yeah. They Speaker 3 00:36:19 Kept the, Speaker 1 00:36:19 No, they kept it on the side. Hok honk if you love Jesus. Oh. And they Speaker 3 00:36:23 Kept the church name on it and everything. Speaker 1 00:36:25 That's amazing. And you know how KO is so you see him rolling around so in like, like the van is still running and stuff. That's what I'm talking about. It's still exists. It Speaker 3 00:36:32 Was in the, it was in the music video for forever. Speaker 2 00:36:35 Yeah. I'm here for that. Speaker 1 00:36:36 Yeah. Speaker 2 00:36:37 So I always try to hit those up though, mainly so you can turn that big bitch around. That's the main part. Yeah. So it's like, you know, spaced out when you're getting gas and whatnot. That's usually why I hit those places. Yeah. And the gas and the, you know, the commodes and whatnot or more. Uh, commodes. Commode. What's Speaker 1 00:36:52 A commode? Speaker 2 00:36:52 The toilet. Toilet. Speaker 1 00:36:53 Oh, commode. See I'd never heard of it as a Speaker 2 00:36:55 Commode. Commode. That's commode. That's probably a southern, Speaker 1 00:36:58 Yeah it sounds southern as fuck. It sounds like an exotic lizard in Japan. A commode. <laugh> commode. Like a komodo dragon or some shit. Speaker 2 00:37:05 Commode. You've heard of commode? Speaker 1 00:37:07 Commode? I had no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

Speaker 2 00:39:14 Okay. I've been, I've been to that one before. Speaker 3 00:39:16 Yeah. I have literally something, one of those before. I used to, whenever I had like a ton of time with my hands or would have like an off day. I used to drive to Birmingham during the morning Speaker 2 00:39:26 Just for the water bi, Speaker 3 00:39:27 Just get lunch, spend my day in Birmingham doing random stuff and then get dinner at Whataburger and then come back. Speaker 2 00:39:35 That's dedicated. Speaker 1 00:39:36 So you'd have Whataburger for lunch and dinner? Speaker 2 00:39:37 Yeah. Talk about a hang a food Speaker 3 00:39:39 Hangover. Nah dude, that's Speaker 2 00:39:41 No food hangover. Speaker 3 00:39:41 Whataburger doesn't do that. Speaker 1 00:39:42 What? Real, see I, for me I did, I Speaker 2 00:39:44 Like two of those massive burgers and fries on your stomach though. And Speaker 3 00:39:48 Well see the first time I'd get like a chicken sandwich or something. Okay. Speaker 1 00:39:50 Oh you'd go light. See what go light? Yeah you go light at lunch. Yeah, if, Speaker 2 00:39:54 If you go double heavy though, you might be in bad shape. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:39:56 Can you imagine two double, double burgers. Freaking Speaker 2 00:39:58 Four four like Speaker 1 00:40:00 700 ounce sweet tea <laugh>. The Speaker 3 00:40:02 Other day I had freaking not eaten all day. And where I'm at in Alabama, like right over the line in Florida there's Whataburgers. Yeah. Like we're the one part of like Florida and Alabama that has Whataburgers other than Birmingham. But, so I stopped and I was like dude I haven't ate all day and it's like seven o'clock at night. So I got a triple burger, large fries and large. Speaker 1 00:40:24 I didn't know they made a triple. I mean it's a Texas based, it's number three figures. They'd make a triple. Have you had, go ahead, go ahead. Go back. Speaker 3 00:40:30 So they're smart. A number one is a single number two is a double number three is a triple Speaker 2 00:40:33 Wendy's used to be like that. Yeah. Change now you can get a number one single number One double number one triple. But used to back in the day like number one was a was a single burger. Number two is a double number three was a triple Speaker 3 00:40:45 But number. No my go-to there is number two, plain and dry, large fry, large Dr. Pepper.

God bless Texas. Come and get it. Right Or come and take Speaker 3 00:41:22 It. Come and take it by. Speaker 2 00:41:23 That's it. That's it Speaker 1 00:41:24 Right there. Where have you been in Texas? Speaker 2 00:41:26 Just like the Dallas Fort Worth area. That's where Caleb's from. Okay. And he does like, uh, like I said, he is one of my best friends. We do a lot of riding together. Annie does my tour managing stuff. Cool. And uh, we went out there couple cause I've only been to Texas one time. But we were there like a pretty good bit. And they had, it was the weekend of Daytona 500 and they opened up the infield of Texas Motor Speedway and had the Daytona 500 on that big. Oh, that's awesome. That's cool that cuz it's like the world's largest outdoor screen. Yeah. So it's like the five hundreds on there. You hook it up to your radios, you got like the broadcast <laugh> and there's a Bucky's right across the street from the track <laugh>. So that was my, that might have been my first Bucky's experience was the one at the racetrack. But the dude we get, we get like beef jerky. We're getting chicken, we're getting like the Speaker 1 00:42:11 Cates. You got the caches. Did you try that? I don't The beaver nuggets. Speaker 2 00:42:15 Oh, it did have the be Speaker 3 00:42:15 Oh, I got something for you by the way. Speaker 1 00:42:17 You got beaver nuggets. Speaker 3 00:42:18 I have no, they're not beaver nuggets. I forget what they're called now. But it's basically bug bugles covered in white chocolate. Speaker 2 00:42:26 My man, dude Beagles is a young, like a snack from, we were like a kid younger Speaker 1 00:42:29 Bugles are That's, that's some, Speaker 3 00:42:31 I had to find them, but I got 'em somewhere for you. Speaker 2 00:42:33 I didn't even know they still made bugles, but I'm, they do, Speaker 3 00:42:35 I understand. Every now and then I'll find 'em at a gas station and I'll have the hanger informed. Speaker 2 00:42:38 They, they used to sponsor a race car and I used to like put 'em with my fingers, you know, like I was like, you know, kind of That's crazy. Yeah. Some kind of something. Speaker 1 00:42:45 I'm a witch. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:42:46 But dude, I haven't had, like, that's what comes to my mind when I think about that. I haven't had a bugle in like, dude, probably over 10 years. Speaker 1 00:42:53 Dude. I love bugles. Speaker 3 00:42:55 Dude. I'll find you're, Speaker 1 00:42:56 You're gonna, you're gonna have to, you're gonna have to find those. Speaker 2 00:42:57 I remember loving them. Speaker 3 00:42:58 I think they're in my buckies thing. Speaker 1 00:43:00 They're probably, they're probably in the bies thing. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so you're talking about nascar? Yeah. You are probably And it could be cuz I'm from the north. I mean there are northerners that love nascar. There are, you're probably the biggest NASCAR enthusiasts that I've met. Speaker 2 00:43:12 I get that. I get told that daily if I'm someone by somebody somewhere. Speaker 1 00:43:16 When did you fall in love with ra? What came first? Falling in love with racing or falling in love with country music. Racing for sure. Racing. Speaker 2 00:43:21 Uh, yeah. My dad's mechanic and uh, he's also a big NASCAR fan. Both of my grandparents are nascar granddads are NASCAR fans. My mom just also likes NASCAR cuz back in the day my parents were divorced, but like, they would go to races and stuff. Yeah. So my mom, you know, watches it and everything. And I even tried my hand and the little race when I was a kid. Speaker 1 00:43:44 Really? Yeah. What was that? What was that like? Was that like go, is Speaker 2 00:43:47 That like It was, it was go-karts, but we were Was it dirt track? Yeah, we were in unrestricted go-karts and I was, hell yeah, I was a little, little scared little kid. Pretty much I did when I was like 12 probably. Speaker 1 00:43:57 Now when you say unrestricted, what does that mean? So Speaker 3 00:44:00 It means they don't have a limiter on the speed. Speaker 1 00:44:02 Yeah. Oh, so you're fucking Speaker 2 00:44:03 Flying pull sand. So top of like the top of a carburetor and they have restricted plates in NASCAR as well, but the top of the carburetor is like usually open. So that's like full horsepower. This is for any engine that ha that's carbureted any engine. And it's just like all the air going in there. And then you put a restricted plate over it and it has like four holes so it restricts the air and less air means less horsepower so you don't go as fast. So unrestricted means you're just balls to the walls. Like you're hammered down rolling. This Speaker 3 00:44:29 Thing can go like 60 miles an hour. Speaker 2 00:44:31 Yeah. You fly on 'em. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:44:32 Yeah. And how big's the track? Speaker 2 00:44:34 Uh, we raced on pr. Really small tracks. Yeah. Speaker 3 00:44:36 How many? Like quarter mile. How? Yeah. Speaker 2 00:44:38 Even smaller than that Shit. How many, how Speaker 1 00:44:40 How many, how many cars on the, on the track? Speaker 2 00:44:42 Just however many. Show up that nine. So Speaker 1 00:44:44 You could have, there's Speaker 2 00:44:45 Not, it's not, there's not like a limp. Like each week each, each race is different. Speaker 1 00:44:50 That's through, I'm, I'm, I'm picturing like 30, like Speaker 2 00:44:52 Yeah, there's up Speaker 1 00:44:53 30. I'm picturing like 30 kids on like a tight dirt track. Yeah. Just sending it. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:44:58 Pretty much. Yeah. <laugh> pissed off. Dads like just getting mad as hell cuz what, you know there's son. Speaker 3 00:45:04 Yeah. You think baseball like Lou League baseball Dads are bad. Just go to a dirt track Speaker 2 00:45:07 Cause there's so much money involved. Speaker 1 00:45:09 Yeah. Cause yeah, if your truck gets Yeah. Or Speaker 2 00:45:11 If you're, if you mess something up, you're like, Speaker 3 00:45:13 That's not mean you gotta do one night is go to, we'll all three one night. Go to the dirt track around here. Speaker 2 00:45:16 Let's go to Clarksville. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:45:17 Clark. Hell yeah, Clark. They got a good dirt track up there. Speaker 2 00:45:19 Yeah. I love Clark. It's, it's like an hour north of here and there's also one, uh, dirt river that's about an hour south of here. They're both awesome. Speaker 1 00:45:25 What do you think of um, them bringing back NASCAR to Nashville? I'm Speaker 2 00:45:30 Pumped now. It's, it's not at the fairgrounds. Speaker 1 00:45:32 Yeah. Do you wish it was at the fairgrounds? Cuz everybody that I've talked to with, yeah. Cause I, I have some friends that are still in within NASCAR media and stuff and they're like, we saw Nashville was on there, but we were hoping everybody was hoping it would be the, the fairgrounds. But you gotta take what you get. Speaker 2 00:45:45 Yeah. You can take what you can get. And I and I go to the late motor races at the fairgrounds, like Yeah. Every time they have one. I was back home. This last one they had her. I would've been there for that. Yeah. This past weekend. But it's just, I mean if you're, if you know what you're talking about, you can go there and just tell it's like not Cup series ready. Like there has to be, there has to be so many seats. There has to be, you can't have concrete walls anymore. You have to have the safer barriers. Like it just needs a little reamp but still have that like hometown track fill. Speaker 3 00:46:13 See the track back home. They had the bank on the one side and they didn't put guard rails up. Yeah. And people would just go off the edge of that all the Speaker 2 00:46:22 Time. Is that a dirt, dirt track? Oh yeah. Yeah. See a lot of dirt tracks are like, like don't have walls, you know, in certain Speaker 3 00:46:27 Parts. Like they, they basically have like a chain leak fence like separating you from like the cars Speaker 2 00:46:33 And like Yeah. That's kind of how it is at Clarksville. Like if something got really hairy, you probably end up with a car in your lap. But I haven't seen anything get that bad yet. Wow. And I've been, I've been to quite a few races up there, but the other speedway, we call it Nashville Super Speedway. It's, it's race ready? Speaker 1 00:46:48 It's, it's out in Lebanon. Right. Speaker 2 00:46:49 Yeah. It's, uh, which Speaker 3 00:46:50 That's probably honestly the, for the best for Nashville. Cause you, I know whenever I used to live in Atlanta, I lived two miles north of the racetrack. Yeah. And dude, for real, like our road, the main road there was the main road to get to the racetrack. And on a race weekend from like Tuesday until the next Tuesday. Yeah. You just didn't leave your house. Yeah, because literally it was hours to get a mile. Damn. Speaker 2 00:47:15 And this is gonna be a hot ticket too. Yeah. So they got 25,000 seats there now and they're putting up another 25,000. So it'll be 50,000. Speaker 1 00:47:22 Do you think they're gonna be able to sell it out? Yeah. Super fast. Something that I've noticed and with, and there something with NASCAR like that would get asked in the press conference and stuff. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> a track that I got really familiar with was, uh, Bristol. Yeah. Bristol has not been like sold out, sold out. And I know right now with Covid there's capacity, whatever. But even going back like the last few years, attendance at that track, Speaker 2 00:47:42 Especially for the day race. I Speaker 1 00:47:44 Mean it's a hundred. I mean it's what, a hundred? Speaker 2 00:47:46 162,000. Speaker 1 00:47:47 Yeah. I I actually went to the football game there. The Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech and Tennessee. I grew up a big Virginia Tech fan. I gotcha you. So I was at that game and it was, it was really cool to see and stuff, Speaker 3 00:47:55 Stuff. Thank God you're not a Tennessee Speaker 1 00:47:56 Fan. Yeah, I know. I know. You're, I'm guessing you're Bulldogs Go Speaker 2 00:47:59 Dogs Speaker 1 00:48:00 Bull side. Speaker 3 00:48:01 That ain't Speaker 2 00:48:02 It. Speaker 3 00:48:03 It is what It's at least it's not Tennessee. At Speaker 1 00:48:06 Least it's not Tennessee. Yeah. There you go. You guys have, at Speaker 2 00:48:07 Least we can agree on the Braves. Speaker 1 00:48:08 Yeah. And you guys both. And you both got something against Auburn too, right? Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 3 00:48:12 Yeah. That's good. It's the last two games of the year for Auburn. Speaker 2 00:48:15 Yeah. Yeah. Sucks for them. Speaker 3 00:48:17 Yeah. <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:48:18 Right. Speaker 1 00:48:19 They usually just get their shit rocked. Um, I'm probably gonna get in trouble for saying that Rob, Gary and Chuck probably, Speaker 3 00:48:24 I don't care, whatever that year that, uh, Georgia did that like Miracle Pass and won and then Alabama won. Like just beat the brakes off of 'em was probably one of the best years for, for watching that. Speaker 1 00:48:37 Yeah. If you had to pick, go to a race or go to a Bulldogs game. Race. Race. Okay. Speaker 2 00:48:44 I mean, racing pretty much just comes before anything. I mean, no joke. Like, like I said, it was like it was my first Speaker 3 00:48:49 Love. Speaker 1 00:48:49 You have a saw wouldn't wouldn't be Sunday, right? Yeah. Yeah. Well that's when did, cause that, that literally is just talking about your love for Speaker 2 00:48:56 Yeah. Like, it just wouldn't sport. Like it's kind of, it's kind of about my granddad's cause like they're Speaker 1 00:49:01 Race fans. I I got that. I got that vibe that it was about, um Yeah. That that it had something to do with like an older family member or something. Yeah. Cool song. Speaker 2 00:49:07 It could be, you can take it however you want. Just somebody passing away is kind of just what it is. Or somebody that just isn't there. I don't know. But I mean, dude, my whole entire life, I'm 24 years old. Like I feel like I can probably just count the races I've missed on a Sunday. Probably on two hands. And it was because I was like traveling from a show or like, just some way shape or form. Couldn't hear it. But if I can't see it, I'm listening to it on the radio like Speaker 3 00:49:29 Yeah. I was about to say what we do Speaker 2 00:49:30 Follow along on my phone, Speaker 3 00:49:31 What we do now in the van is I have an iPad Yeah. That has the, uh, data on it mm-hmm. <affirmative> and literally like we'll hook that up to the speakers and we'll watch it. We'll put it up there on the front dash. Yeah. And we'll watch like football, we were watching an XFL before Speaker 1 00:49:45 Xfl. We were big XFL guys before that thing. Hit the shitter. Yeah. Before that thing hit the commode. Big commode. Speaker 2 00:49:52 You're gonna start saying that now. I Speaker 1 00:49:53 Am. I Speaker 3 00:49:54 Don't think it's over. I think somebody's gonna buy it and they're gonna bring it back this next year. Cause a lot of the teams have kept their stadium contracts Speaker 2 00:50:00 Might as well. I mean Speaker 3 00:50:03 If it wasn't for Covid, I would've have been a good money maker. Yeah. Like legit. Like it was doing pretty well. Speaker 2 00:50:08 Yeah. I like, I like it not having all the Speaker 3 00:50:10 It's the dollar dollar general nfl. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:50:11 Not having all the tied tight rules and all that Speaker 1 00:50:14 Dollar General nfl. I love it. <laugh>. Yeah. That's badass. I mean I'm here for it. Um, you got to do something really cool on Instagram recently. Yeah, right. Was it an interview? Was that, was that with Chase Elliot? Oh, Speaker 2 00:50:24 Uh, Eric Jones Speaker 1 00:50:25 Or Eric Jones. Yeah. So, so funny. Eric Jones story. Eric Jones story. So, um, I went to, um, one of the races that I got to cover. Um, are you a wrestling fan too? Are you the whole redneck trifecta? I'm not. Okay, good. I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure about I get Speaker 2 00:50:39 Asked that a lot too. Well Speaker 1 00:50:40 When, when people say, Speaker 2 00:50:41 See, I call wrestling, wrestling, wrestling. We call it wrestling growing up. Yeah. It's wrestling And it's still wwf. Speaker 1 00:50:47 It's never gonna be w e it's still wwf. Speaker 2 00:50:49 No, I don't even know what, I don't even know what WWF means. Really. I just don't. Yeah, yeah. Wrestling's not my Speaker 1 00:50:54 Fight. So, so I, um, so one of the things that we got to do, we um, I was down, um, doing like we would go down to like the winners circle, whatever. Yeah. And it was, um, Eric Jones had won the Xfinity Series race that year. So I got to meet Eric then. That's badass. And the person who presented the trophy, the honorary person was Bill Goldberg from the WWE E Oh hell yeah. Or WWE F So it was like So Speaker 2 00:51:15 What track was that at at Bristol? Oh hell Speaker 1 00:51:17 Yeah. That was Eric Jones's first one at Bristol. Oh fuck. It was in the Xfinity series. So what was that experience like for you doing that? Cause you're, you're such a big NASCAR fan. How did that all happen? What exactly was it? Speaker 2 00:51:27 So it actually, you could put this back if it was starting last year, I just had got outta a meeting, uh, with my public share and I'm like walking out. I get this email from Toyota and it, it's from this lady and, uh, they're based outta Detroit, Michigan. And I was, and it just says like, Hey Dawson, we we love your social media. Like it looks awesome, you know, you got a good little following, like, you know, yada yada yada. We wanna do all this stuff for you. And I'm like, you know, like this, there's no way this is real. And they're like, it, they wanna send us to a race. Like they're gonna, says they're gonna gimme this brand new Toyota truck, um, put us up in a hotel, give us like passes and all, I mean just like this long list of stuff. Speaker 2 00:52:08 And I was like, like I said, like, what in the hell? Like no way. This is real. So I emailed her back and I was like basically just asked this like a real thing. And uh, she's like, yeah, like give me a call Monday at three 30 or something. I was like, all right, cool. So call her Monday at three 30. And it's just real as can be. And I talked to my parents about it and they were like, as long as they don't like ask for your social security number or nothing, like do it. Like go for it. You know. So this just was like a year ago, a couple weeks ago, cuz it was at Kentucky. They sent us to, got two tickets. I took, my dad got tickets to all three races. They sent me a 2020, this was 2019. A 2020 Toyota Tundra. Speaker 2 00:52:48 Fully decked out, got to keep it for 10 days, had this card that all the money could spend like gas, all that on the money. Put us up in like a like, badass, nicest hotel I've ever been in. I don't know, it was like five stars, but it was not, I mean it doesn't take much to impress me, but nice ass hotel for all three days. Um, we got to drive the drivers around the track after intros, like, you know, around the track and in the Toyota trucks. So these Toyota trucks, they're like built in Texas, like USA I mean it's just like the most American stuff you've ever seen. Got American flags on 'em and whatnot. So did all that. And that was last year. And they told me like, I was like, I would love to, you know, keep in touch with y'all if you know anything wants to go, you know, happened or whatever. Well then obviously Covid happens, you don't, there's no racing. And then like right before the race they're like, Hey, we got an opportunity. Would you like to interview Eric Jones? You know, like via Zoom or whatever. It wasn't Zoom, it was something else. And I was like, well hell yeah, that'll be awesome. So they set it up and like, it was like me and a couple other people and we just like had an interview before, literally like a couple hours before the race. Just like talk Gary, Speaker 1 00:53:54 He's he's a cool dude, isn't Speaker 2 00:53:55 He? He is super nice. Yeah, we're like the same age, like Yeah, he's cool as hell. Speaker 3 00:53:59 That's freaking cool. Yeah, Speaker 1 00:54:00 Dude, that's, that's insane. It Speaker 2 00:54:02 Insane. Toyota Speaker 1 00:54:03 Just, you got a Speaker 3 00:54:03 Call. So now that you got the Tundra for 10 days, are you a Toyota guy or who you, who you've side with on trucks? Yeah. Speaker 1 00:54:08 What do, what do you got out there? I couldn't tell Chevy. Speaker 2 00:54:10 Chevy Silverado. I'm always been a Chevy guy. Yeah, there always will be. But like I could be easily persuaded I'm, I could to a Toyota guy. I'm Speaker 3 00:54:19 Not gonna lie. Dude, what I want right now is a taco. Speaker 2 00:54:22 A Speaker 3 00:54:22 Taco Tacoma. Speaker 2 00:54:24 Oh, Tacoma. Speaker 1 00:54:24 Tacoma. Speaker 2 00:54:25 Yeah. I was like Speaker 3 00:54:25 A taco. That's the, Speaker 1 00:54:26 I mean, I mean taco sounds great, right? Taco Speaker 3 00:54:28 Sounds good too. Yeah. But Toyota Tacoma. Yeah, like that to me for, for Nashville. Yeah. It's the Speaker 2 00:54:34 Perfect truck. Yeah. It's not huge. Speaker 1 00:54:35 What do you think of the new Bronco? I know you're a Chevy guy. What do you think Speaker 2 00:54:38 Of it? Bronco's, my first vehicle had Speaker 3 00:54:41 Bron 88 Bronco two. Speaker 2 00:54:43 Hell yeah. So that's a smaller one, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had the bigger one. Yeah. And it was the 86 and uh, yeah, so Bronco was my first vehicle and I'm all about the new Broncos. It looks sick Speaker 1 00:54:54 And they're actually, see I had originally thought that they were gonna be like expensive as hell. I remember people saying that. They're not No, they're very 30 grand dude. There's gonna be more Broncos on the road than anything else. I hope Ford is, Speaker 2 00:55:04 I said the same thing. All you're gonna see in the next like give it six months, it's gonna be bro new Broncos Speaker 3 00:55:09 Everywhere. It's gonna be like those new uh, Jeep trucks. Yes. Speaker 2 00:55:11 Those look badass too. I like Speaker 3 00:55:12 'em. There's a lot of people that hit on Speaker 2 00:55:14 Them. Stock stock though. I feel like they look super little, but you put, you put some wheels and tires on 'em and look great. The problem is though, those cost like 80 grand. Yeah, yeah. No, they're Speaker 3 00:55:22 Completely different than the Speaker 1 00:55:23 30 for the now. But do think Bronco do, do you think the Broncos gonna have a lot of those upgrades that people are gonna be paying more? I Speaker 3 00:55:29 Think so, yeah. Oh yeah. They're, they've already came out with packages. Speaker 2 00:55:31 Yeah. One comes stock with 35 inch tires. Yeah. Speaker 3 00:55:34 Geez. What's, what's like the beast? I forget what the top package was. It was like close to like 60 grand. Yeah. 70 grand. Speaker 2 00:55:40 The, the one that's 30 is like bare bones. But I mean Yeah, if you, if you know what you're doing, you can go grit some wheels and tires, put a little lift on it and still not have 60 grand in it. You know, you get one for 30, put 10 grand in it. You have 40 grand. That Speaker 3 00:55:50 One that was 60 or 70 whatever the leather package in that Yeah. Was like killer. Yeah, Speaker 1 00:55:56 Yeah. Yeah. And the fact that they like released it with, um, they did that during like the CMA Fest thing, right? Is that how they announced it? Speaker 3 00:56:04 It wasn't it. Yeah, Speaker 1 00:56:04 It was Kip, Kip Moore <laugh>. Yeah, I think so. Like what's more like they knew exactly what audience to, to put it in front of two. They knew to put it in front of the country audience and stick freaking more. You could have stuck anybody there with uh, hell yeah with, with that. And people would dig it. Speaker 2 00:56:17 I'm surprised it wasn't Toby Keith doesn't he the one with the Ford deal. He was like Speaker 1 00:56:20 The built Ford tub and all that he used. So he used to, um, he's brother, Speaker 2 00:56:23 He's Speaker 3 00:56:24 Not popular anymore. Speaker 1 00:56:24 Ford. He's Ford. Ford used to sponsor all of his tours. Speaker 2 00:56:28 Oh, Speaker 1 00:56:28 Okay. So, but it was funny because he would do, um, cause I got to see him a bunch in, um, in Jersey when he would come through. Yeah. And he would do, um, he would do the eco boost and he would have like the video that would play before he would go on and it would be him driving around in Eco Boosts and you'd have all these, all these like, like Jersey like rednecks being like, fuck this Eco Boost, we want the diesel. Speaker 3 00:56:47 And they go, I ain't gonna lie though, dude, first but Speaker 1 00:56:49 The but the Ford truck, those were nice. Speaker 3 00:56:51 I was about to say, if you want like a truck that can actually do some work, like some hauling stuff, like no knocking Chevy. Like I'm always been a Ford guy. But like those eco engines, that's where it's at, dude. Yeah. Those things can haul and they, I mean you still get b6. Speaker 2 00:57:05 Yeah. The the like, like the most, like the biggest baddest VC Speaker 3 00:57:08 I used to work for a Ford dealership and it's still got like in class, it's got the best towing and the best like load capacity by far. Speaker 2 00:57:16 You're still not kind of convinced man. It's better than a Chevy Speaker 3 00:57:18 Though. <laugh>. I mean, dude. Speaker 2 00:57:19 <laugh>, Speaker 1 00:57:21 I love that. Um, another thing I wanted to ask you or talk to you about the raised rowdy guys. Oh yeah. You've gotten to know those, those boys and girls. How'd you meet them and what was your initial thought being a Georgia guy meeting these yinzer from Pittsburgh? Uh, Pennsylvania. Speaker 2 00:57:36 Well, I, so Alex Maxwell, he's from Speaker 1 00:57:39 Oh yeah, okay, so he's known them for a while. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:57:41 So we're, he's we're Speaker 1 00:57:42 Roommates. Oh no. Shit. I didn't, I did not know that. So to Speaker 2 00:57:44 Me, and Alex is one of my best friends, so I was gonna say something earlier about the whole food thing, but I've gotten to go like back to his hometown, like meet his folks and like hang out out there. And I was like, so you've been blown away by the food. Speaker 1 00:57:54 So you've been, you've been to his sheets? Speaker 3 00:57:56 Yeah, for sure. Speaker 2 00:57:57 Before I even went to Pittsburgh. I've been to his sheets with uh, where Speaker 1 00:58:01 At? Speaker 2 00:58:02 There's one Is it? Speaker 3 00:58:04 There's some in Virginia. Speaker 2 00:58:05 Yeah, it was, it was, it was on the way to Speaker 3 00:58:07 Virginia. There's I think some in North Carolina too. Yeah, Speaker 2 00:58:10 They, they're all around. Yeah. Yeah. I thought they would do well here as well. But yeah, they said they don't wanna speedway down Speaker 3 00:58:15 Here. Speedway, Speedway is what does as well. Speedway is which North Carolina Speaker 1 00:58:17 Also. And, and twice Daily does well here too. Speaker 2 00:58:20 There's a ton of those around here. There's a shit ton <laugh>. Yeah. But, uh, what was the original question? Speaker 1 00:58:25 The race. Oh, race rowdy. What was your experience that, was that the first time you went north Speaker 2 00:58:29 Was with Alex? Was Speaker 1 00:58:30 Pittsburgh? Speaker 2 00:58:30 Yes. That's the farthest north I've ever been. Still to this day. Speaker 1 00:58:33 No shit. What was your thought of the north? Speaker 2 00:58:36 I did, I mean I feel like the people were, it's literally a lot. People are the same. It's just, we talk different. I feel like it's the only thing like Yeah, Speaker 1 00:58:42 Pittsburgh Pi, the Pittsburgh Yers. Yeah. They, they party. Speaker 2 00:58:45 No, Speaker 1 00:58:45 They do, Western Pennsylvania doesn't give a shit. They just go for it. I respect the shit outta it, but I would love that. Yeah. Yeah. I respect the shit Speaker 2 00:58:51 Out of it. Like I tell it's a, like Alex's dad and my dad, they're a little bit different in age, but like, couldn't be more the same person. Like they're, they're identical. Just, I literally, it's just like they talk difference. It's the only thing. But, uh, I mean everybody up there loves to drink and eat food and I love to drink and eat food and it's just, you know, a good time. So Speaker 1 00:59:09 How many, how many shots have you taken with Nikki t? Speaker 2 00:59:12 Uh, I've probably not a whole lot, but he's, I've taken shots with him here in Nashville. Never up there. Well Speaker 1 00:59:19 He's, he's the life of the party. He is. He's fucking wild. Yeah, he's wild. Speaker 2 00:59:23 So I, how I actually met them, I don't even know if I remember cause I was probably hammered <laugh>, but, uh, Speaker 2 00:59:30 It was, it was down here in Nashville is originally what it was. I can't remember when or what. But then like when I started put like this EP before this last one, like they did little writeups and like posted all over their stuff and all that. And then this was probably a year and a half ago, but their most successful post at the time was this thing they did about Dale Earnhardt and tagged me in it. And like Nick sent me the screenshots and their most like, engaged post they had ever had <laugh>. And it was like talking about if you put a number three on something, it automatically makes it faster. And they were like, just ask Dawson cuz he has one on his arm or something. Cause I have a, I have a D tattoo on my arm, Speaker 1 01:00:04 Man. Oh, that's sick. Speaker 2 01:00:05 I have two now. I have a, I have a junior on this arm, but that's what the Post said something like that. Like, just Ask Dawson, it's on his arm or something. And it's like they're most engaged posts at the time. Speaker 3 01:00:14 You have NASCAR socks on. I just noticed that Speaker 2 01:00:16 I do have NASCAR Ryan Newman socks. Oh, Speaker 1 01:00:18 Ryan Newman. Okay. Yeah. Speaker 2 01:00:19 Throwback. He does, he didn't drive the 30 Speaker 1 01:00:21 Morning anymore. Yeah, that's the OG color scheme. Yeah, Speaker 2 01:00:23 Yeah, yeah. The Caterpillar days. Speaker 1 01:00:25 Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 3 01:00:25 I just, I just looked down and saw 31. I was like, that's, Speaker 2 01:00:28 See I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed with it. I just eat, sleeping and breathing. Speaker 1 01:00:30 Have you been to the I passed, um, coming on 40. There's like a NASCAR super outlet. Have he pops in? It's jps or something? Yeah. Oh yeah. I was thinking, I was thinking about that when I drove past. I'm like, I gotta ask Dawson if he's been there. Speaker 2 01:00:42 Yeah, it's been, it's been probably two years, but I've been there multiple Speaker 1 01:00:45 Times. What's it like? Cuz I've never pulled over and actually gone in there. Speaker 2 01:00:48 It's it's like you're been to like a Nike outlet. Yeah. Or like an Under Armor outlet. It's, it's that but nascar. Speaker 1 01:00:53 So how, like what kind of stuff do they got in Speaker 2 01:00:55 There? Anything? It's like if I was like, I hope that's what heaven looks like one day. <laugh>. And I hope Eric Church is like playing sinners like me in the center of it like that. That's, that's heaven for me. Speaker 3 01:01:04 This is a circle in the center of one Spotlight Eric Church in acoustic Speaker 2 01:01:07 Guitar. And it was just NASCAR merchandise Speaker 1 01:01:09 It sounds like. Cuz we stopped at a s spot and we were in Alabama. What town was in Fort Payne? Yeah. And we stopped, which Speaker 3 01:01:16 Is where, uh, Alabama's from. They Speaker 2 01:01:17 Got museum there. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:01:18 So we popped Speaker 2 01:01:19 In. That's not far from wrong. I mean that's not too far Speaker 1 01:01:20 From Yeah, yeah. We, we popped in there one night or one day driving to the museum, driving down to Birmingham. Yeah. We had popped in there and got all this, Speaker 3 01:01:26 We camet from chat to Birmingham. We drove through like that part. Speaker 1 01:01:29 We got, I got this, it looks like a, like a Trump MAGA hat, but Speaker 3 01:01:32 It says I've got one upstairs. Speaker 1 01:01:33 Yeah. It's a, it's a red hat. It's like the Alabama, it's like the world tore 85 or something. Like we got all this retro shit in the Speaker 3 01:01:40 Last, it's funny, Gary got a shirt and like, there's like a Snapchat or a Twi or a TikTok or something of him with it. I think it's on TikTok and it's like the shirt is regular, but the print instead of be printing like that is like only like a 35 degree angle. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:01:56 You could tell it was, it was the old, like this print Speaker 3 01:01:58 And it wasn't in center. It was like on a side. Speaker 2 01:02:00 Amazing. Speaker 1 01:02:01 Yeah. And the, and the lady like cut us, cut us a deal in there because she was, we, she asked like, what are y'all doing in here? The other thing too, I almost got in trouble. A big, a big thing for me since moving down here has been watching my damn mouth. Especially in the certain parts. Yeah. So it was an older lady and thankfully she couldn't hear Speaker 2 01:02:17 Me. You don't, you don't cuss in front of the old, old ladies around here. She Speaker 1 01:02:20 With me. We just, we cuss. I mean my mom, my mom, my mom will get on my case sometimes, but like, she's called me like an effing asshole before. Yeah. Like when I was like seven or eight years old Many times. Yeah. Yeah. Like they, like we cuss. That's just how we talk. So Speaker 2 01:02:32 Do I I have, I have a terrible mouth. I just try to hone it down sometimes. Speaker 3 01:02:36 I was at home for the last two weeks and like trying to like, like Matt's never experienced me at home before, but it's like a total different, like, you know who you can say stuff around and you know who you better not. And like, you know, my grandparents like you say crap around my grandma and she's like, now you know that I don't like that. That's a big thing Speaker 1 01:02:52 With me was a big thing with me was GD was the thing. God like, cause that's normal language. Yeah. Like you stuff your tongue. Like goddammit, like that's just how we talk. Yeah. And down here completely something different. Yeah. Like something completely different. So I, I let out a a um, an f-bomb in the Alabama Museum. Thankfully. Um, the lady couldn't hear you. Memaw didn't have her hearing aids in <laugh>, so she didn't hear me. But um, she asked us what we were doing through the air. We said we were driving like gigging down to Birmingham cuz we were in the Sprinter. And um, she was like, oh, well dude, like she gave she gave us a, she hooked it up and gave us like a cool dish. Speaker 3 01:03:25 She gave it to us like five bucks. And then we all saw why it was five bucks later. Cause it Speaker 2 01:03:29 Was the shirts like cricket. It Speaker 1 01:03:30 Was the misprint. Yeah. Speaker 2 01:03:31 Whatnot. That is freaking amazing. Yeah, dude, Speaker 1 01:03:33 It was, um, it was a, uh, it was a good time man. But, um, now in terms of the, for the rest of the year, I know everything's a complete crapshoot. Yeah. We're guaranteed racing, which is good. So you still watch your nascar What's, what's going on in terms of new music? Do you have, do you have more stuff in the tank to put out? Yeah, Speaker 2 01:03:49 We do. Um, we have a tentative plan right now to put out a song on Labor Day weekend. It's uh, they, it's actually a NASCAR related song and they do the, uh, throwback weekend that weekend at Darlington. So it's a song called Earnhardt Fast and have a tentative plan. This just plan has just recently come together in the last couple weeks. But to put that out that weekend, Speaker 1 01:04:11 What's your favorite track to go to? Speaker 2 01:04:13 Dega for sure. Speaker 1 01:04:14 Dega. Yeah. I hear Speaker 2 01:04:15 It's, I've been to it the most. Speaker 1 01:04:16 I hear it's just another level of, Speaker 2 01:04:18 It's a third world country like insanity. It's not, it's like, it's uh, it's a third world country. Like, it's just not you normal, but in a good way. You know what I mean? It's just like crazy outrageous. You're there for like, Speaker 1 01:04:31 It's like a redneck five Speaker 2 01:04:32 Days Speaker 1 01:04:33 And you, you remember getting there. You remember leaving, Speaker 3 01:04:36 Going toga, barely. Remember leaving, going to Dega is probably like going to Stagecoach or Coachella for the festival world. Yeah, for sure. Speaker 2 01:04:46 It's, it's, it's Speaker 3 01:04:46 That instead of popping drugs, you're just fucking doing 30 racks all day every day Speaker 1 01:04:51 Following. Now are you, are you a guy that goes the extra distance and gets like a hot pass and like, does all that stuff? Like you're you're trying to get as close like Speaker 2 01:04:58 I have now because the guy, the guy Brandon, that's a big fan of Muscadine and this podcast. Yeah. Hey, Speaker 1 01:05:03 What's his last name? Speaker 2 01:05:04 Brandon Lee. Shout Speaker 1 01:05:05 Out to Brandon Lee. We gotta film it. Speaker 2 01:05:07 He'll, he'll be, he'll listen to this. Speaker 1 01:05:08 That's pretty dope, Brandon. Hell yeah buddy. Speaker 2 01:05:10 He'll listen to this. But he, uh, so I told you I met him and he's hooked me up with every race that I've been to since we've met. He's hooked me up with hot passes. So, because Speaker 1 01:05:17 Those are hard to get. I didn't realize how hard it was to get, you gotta Speaker 2 01:05:20 Get like an act of congress to get in the infield Speaker 1 01:05:22 Of an s r race. So I had, see for me, that's all I've ever known. I, I mean, I would watch the races and stuff, but I wouldn't call myself a necessarily like a fan. Like if I was tuning for a driver, it was Matt Kenzi. I was the guy that I, I was kind of pulling for. Okay. Liked him back, back in the um, Speaker 2 01:05:37 17 you all Speaker 1 01:05:38 Day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Um, but I'd never been to a race. Yeah. I've only been to to a race as a media member. I gotcha. Did they treat you like a God? Yeah. When you're catered food, you're Oh yeah. Doing you're, you're getting to dude laps around the car and the freaking pace car. Like I got to do a lap with, forget which guy it was, it was some, some old driver and we did it in Pocono and he was like, the way that he was doing, he was like, you go high here to, because then you like he's explaining exactly why you gotta go here. Here got mark Speaker 2 01:06:05 The corner and get down Speaker 1 01:06:06 Here. Yeah. Got the corner here. Speaker 3 01:06:07 And have you ever been to Charlotte? I have. Have you ever toured Charlotte? I have. So, you know, so Speaker 2 01:06:13 I rode around the track. Yeah. Maybe in Victory Lane, Speaker 3 01:06:14 All that good stuff. Yeah. So, so here's the thing. Speaker 1 01:06:16 You're a hardcore, Speaker 3 01:06:17 Here's the thing. Speaker 2 01:06:17 Oh damn. I, I'm not joking. I eat sleeping and breath it, dude. It's, it's my thing. So Speaker 1 01:06:21 Fuck yeah. Speaker 3 01:06:21 So I was talking to you earlier off the mic about like me going to North Carolina and being able to like go to a bunch of shops. Well we did Charlotte that weekend also. Oh yeah. And we got to go around the track. Well whenever it's not race season, they have 15 passenger dually Ford Van. I was gonna ask Vans Speaker 2 01:06:37 If you did it in the 15 passenger Speaker 3 01:06:39 Van. Yeah. 15 pass. What do they do? 15 passenger dually Ford vans. <laugh>. Yeah. And they're taking around the Speaker 2 01:06:46 Track. You gotta go so fast cause they're so top heavy, they'll flip over. So you gotta go like a certain speed. Yeah. So listen to keep it playing on the Speaker 3 01:06:51 Track. Listen, we get in there and it is literally Meemaw driving in the stadium. We're like, oh, what'd you do before you did this? Like, how'd you get in this? She's like, well, I was a school teacher and then I retired and I got bored. So I thought, what the hell? I'll just go drive around the track. They asked if I was scared. I said no, I've been doing this my whole life going fast. That's what I'm talking about. <laugh>. Listen, this little old lady, she gets this on the back straightaway. She gets this Ford van up to 115. Yeah, Speaker 2 01:07:20 That's what we did. We did the sa do, we did the same thing. I mean exact same thing. And like Speaker 3 01:07:24 You're like going around the corner and like she takes you both ways. So she does one and then she goes in the pit lane and yanks it around. Oh yeah. And actually goes the right way. So the first way you go on, you go backwards and then you go in the pit lane and you turn around and then they, they do a hot lap. And so it's just, she's like doing it as fast as she can and we're going through the corner and like I'm sitting on the edge and like, there's literally a seatbelt like holding me into my seat from sliding across. And Memaw is just like flooring it going Yee. Speaker 1 01:07:58 That's amazing. They, they asked me if I'm scared. I said, nah, I've been doing this my whole life. Speaker 3 01:08:02 <laugh>. I was like, damn, that's awesome. But she said I was a retired school teacher and I was like, what? Speaker 2 01:08:08 We did the same. That's exactly what we did. They did uh, pace car rides in Texas when we were there for that Daytona 500 watch party thing. And uh, they got up to like a hundred miles an hour and we're in like Camaros and shit. And it was like, damn, this is awesome. Speaker 3 01:08:20 Yeah. I mean Camaro. Yeah. Like I'd want to do that, you know, a Speaker 2 01:08:22 Camaro. Yeah. It's not the same as the, but that's, we did the exact same thing and I was probably like, I don't know, 12 years old. I don't remember exactly how old I was when we did that, but I was like a kid and we did that and I was like, oh my God, this is coolest thing I've ever heard. Speaker 3 01:08:33 Yeah. Yeah. It was cool. But like, it was hilarious. It's like, you know, like literally like she was like 78 years old. Like little legit. Speaker 1 01:08:40 I'm picturing like the grandma from like the Beverly Hills Hill Village. Is that Speaker 3 01:08:43 Whatever? I don't, I don't know if you know who she is, but picture the Alabama governor K Ivy picture her Speaker 2 01:08:51 I'll, Speaker 3 01:08:51 I'll pull up a picture here real quick. Speaker 1 01:08:52 Okay. Yeah. Um, yeah, we gotta get you to a track up north. Speaker 2 01:08:56 Uh, like I said, I do like Dover. I love Dover is a racetrack that's on the bucket list. Watkins Glen is Speaker 1 01:09:02 Like, I'm, I'm guessing you've done Bristol. Speaker 2 01:09:03 Yes, I've done Bristol. I've been to Bristol, Charlotte, Kentucky there. Dega. Speaker 1 01:09:10 Oh Jesus. Speaker 2 01:09:11 Awesome. Speaker 3 01:09:13 For anybody that doesn't know what K I V looks like, look it up right now. K E y i v e y. That's basically what the lady that drove us around the track Speaker 1 01:09:21 Looks like she's a master with a Betty Crocker box. Like she'll make you the best bacon cakes and drive your van. Fuck. A little bit older. Martha Stewart or, so what's the farthest west you've been for a race? Have you been to like Texas. Speaker 2 01:09:30 Texas is the farthest west and we didn't even go to a race there, but the i we was at the track so I consider that. Yeah, I guess going That's as far west as your I've been Speaker 1 01:09:39 Where anyway. Where's, so you said that Dover's the next one. You want to try to go to Speaker 2 01:09:42 Dover and Watkins Glen on the list? I have. I've never been to Daytona either. And that's like, probably comes before both of those because it's such a big deal. Yeah. So, uh, and Speaker 1 01:09:51 It's closer. Speaker 2 01:09:52 It is a lot closer. So Daytona's on my list. Dover's on the list. Watkins Glen Speaker 3 01:09:57 For Daytona. I feel like you gotta go to that first race of the year. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So I feel like that second race of the year, it is just too hot. Well Speaker 2 01:10:03 See they do it at nighttime so it's not Oh really as bad. But see, so like I've had this like dream since I was like a little kid and if I can ever make it happen, but I wanna like get to where I have a tour bus one day and I can drive my tour bus and do just park it at speed weeks, like in the RV garage and it's so speed week's, like this 10 day thing and they do all the NASCAR stuff is like the first week of the year you do a lot of testing practice. There's little like preliminary races that get up to the Daytona 500. And then at like new Smirna there's like little local short track races. Like some of the big guys go over and race like modifieds, late model stuff like that. So you can literally watch racing from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed and it's all within 30 minutes of, you know, Daytona Beach. So one day I'm gonna have a tour bus and park it up there in the RV light and spend 10 days at Daytona for three. Speaker 1 01:10:51 Well if you've got room for two podcasters to come and we'll broadcast the whole we'll broadcast what we can from that weekend. Yeah. And like see Speaker 2 01:10:57 It won't be a weekend, it's gonna be 10 days. Like we're gonna have to, we're just gonna do like live fucking Speaker 1 01:11:01 Marathon. Speaker 2 01:11:01 We're just gonna have to do live podcast 10 minutes. Speaker 1 01:11:03 Oh. I got the NASCAR media hookups where you gotta get the fuck in there. We'll Speaker 2 01:11:06 Get Brandon on there. Like Brandon, he'll hook us up with Buscher and Yumen. He'll get us over Speaker 1 01:11:09 There. I'll get my buddy Big Bob from racing with Skip Clayton. We'll get him done. Yes. And Bob Bob's Bob's a big NASCAR fan too. And he's, he's bigger, he's bigger than Boudreau if you can believe it. Big Bob from up in New Jersey. Uh, we'll get him, we'll get him down. I Speaker 3 01:11:22 I said those Jersey dudes made me look small. Speaker 1 01:11:23 Yeah. They're all bagel bagel pork roll, um, pizza fed hell up there. Yeah. But, um, but dude, that nascar So have you done, have you gotten to play a show at a NASCAR place yet? Speaker 3 01:11:34 I Speaker 2 01:11:35 Haven't. That's all I, any Speaker 1 01:11:36 Of the tail, even the tailgate parties and stuff. Speaker 2 01:11:38 I haven't, I've done, we've, we've brought guitars and stuff down to Dega and like hung out and just done that whole thing, but not like an actual show. Speaker 3 01:11:45 We gotta we gotta get y'all one of those. Speaker 2 01:11:47 Dude. I know I would love, cause Bri Speaker 1 01:11:48 Bristol does those Bristol Speaker 2 01:11:50 A lot. Dega. So like Saturday night they have the said the Boulevard thing, you know, in the infield and it's just like 90,000 people. They put a stage up like Riley Green played it last year. You know, he's from Balin. Like this is awesome. And I can't remember who opened up for him, but like, dude, I would kill for that opening slot open for Riley Green and at, at Dega. Like that would be just insane. Speaker 1 01:12:14 Yeah. Before the, um, the battle at Bristol game with um, tech in Tennessee. Yeah. Which I, I learned, I grew this, I watched that on tv. I grew this liking for Tennessee at that game because all I heard, like we were, we were in it the first half, then the second half happened whole fucking game. All you heard was Rocky top because all they were doing was fucking scoring on us. And it was bullshit. It was a pain in the ass. Speaker 3 01:12:34 I'll tell you what I always hear from people that are Tennessee fans Go vows, go v it's a great, it's gonna be our year. We're gonna do it. We're gonna be Alabama Speaker 1 01:12:43 This year. It's a great day to be a Tennessee vow. They love they Speaker 3 01:12:46 Love that show. Listen, I'm not gonna lie though, I love watching the Alabama, Tennessee game cuz somewhere usually around middle of third quarter start of fourth quarter, you just see a sea of orange start exiting leaving, Speaker 2 01:12:56 Leaving. Yeah. Speaker 3 01:12:56 And they're leaving cuz they know they got beat and then you'll see 'em outside and they're just crying. Yeah, yeah. And it's great. It's a great sight. Speaker 1 01:13:03 The day before that battle at Bristol game, they did a concert inside the inside, like inside the track. Oh hell yeah. And we were on the, it was just the one side, but they did it so because it was like a border thing with Texan Southwest Virginia and ut obviously in eastern Tennessee. Um, so it was Kenny Chesney, Tennessee. That's awesome. Old Dominion. They're Virginia guys. Yeah. And then the band Perry, before they went pop and Kenny Chesney played the Boys a fall and he had Peyton Manning come out in his vols jersey with a cowboy hat on. And it was Speaker 3 01:13:32 Insane. That song came out my senior year of high school. That's so dope. And we got beat the last game of the season and as we got beat, like they played that song. Yeah. I still can't listen to that song without fucking getting emotional, getting Speaker 2 01:13:43 Getting sad. Speaker 1 01:13:43 Yeah. And what was cool too about that game, they had the cars parked on like parked into like turn one and turn like turn four. Like that's bad. They had the NASCAR and then Lee Greenwood came out and played, um, played um, God bless. Yeah, God bless, God bless America. Yeah. He came out and played and they had the big flag on it was sick. Speaker 3 01:14:00 Speaking of NASCAR stuff, I forgot they did this last year. Were you here from whenever they did all the awards and stuff last year? Speaker 2 01:14:05 Yeah. Got to go, got to go to the like award show Speaker 3 01:14:08 At the Ryman and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 2 01:14:10 That was, well we didn't go to that to that, but like, uh, when they, they rented out, uh, Blake Shelton's bar Old Red. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got to go to that. And then we did the, uh, dude Speaker 3 01:14:17 They did that, uh, what was it, burnouts on Broadway. I was there for that too. Yeah. So I was running sound at was Speaker 2 01:14:23 Got on TV for the first time in Speaker 3 01:14:25 My life. Hell yeah. Yeah. I was, I was running sound for that dude. Like not for broad burnouts on Broadway, but I was running the sound out whiskey row. Speaker 2 01:14:32 I was about to say. Cause the sound was terrible. I was about to have to give you a dig on it. Well, Speaker 3 01:14:35 No, no dude. But dude, I, I text my, uh, professor and I was like, things they don't teach you in college how to run sound while they're doing burnouts and fucking revving their engines right outside. Deadly into your mics. Speaker 2 01:14:49 Out of all the things though. No joke. And I would mean this seriously of all the things that I've gotten to do, like cool shit NASCAR wise that ranks up there at the top. Yeah. Like to see those dudes. I mean, there's 16 guys come down and like do burnouts. Literally so close. I just made a TikTok and I can show it to y'all when we get done. But it, I may like, you know, y'all know who Tim Dugger is? Yeah, yeah. Big NASCAR guy. And he was hosting the Burnouts on Broadway thing and Tim didn't even know it was me, but I'm like, leaned over the gate and Joey Logano comes around and he's just like, I don't know how he didn't hit the wall. I mean we're, I'm, I'm could have touched a spoiler. Like we're leaned over and uh, they're like giving them, you know, they're like judging them on their, their burnouts or whatever and Tim's like, I wanna give a 10 to the guy leaning over the wall. And I got a video of this girl behind me. I'm just like leaned over the wall like doing it. And I was like, that's me. I'm the dude leaned over the wall and I'm right there at the car. It was insane. Like, we're getting hit in the face with rocks and gravel and rubber. I was like, dude, this is just sick as hell. Speaker 1 01:15:46 Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Who's in the, who's in the lead right now? For now it's car. Speaker 2 01:15:50 Uh, Kevin Harvick and the Points he's, him and Denny Hamlin both have five wins a piece. What do Speaker 1 01:15:54 You think of about Jersey Boy? Uh, Martin Truex? Anything against Speaker 2 01:15:58 Truex? No, not at all. I I, I used to be like a huge Truex fan when he was like in the d ei days cause all my, like the Earnhardt stuff and uh, like huge fan. But I got to meet him at through at the burnout thing out there. Speaker 1 01:16:12 Yeah. You probably got to meet a lot of people. Yeah. That had to Speaker 2 01:16:14 Be like his wife or girlfriend Sherry. Yeah, she's like super cool and she's like a big country music fan and like her and she has like Travis Denning and Cole Swindell and all them. Yeah. So, uh, I'd actually talked to her on social media and like she was like, oh, what's up? And like brought us over in his v i p room and stuff over there and like he, you know, true X is in there. But yeah, dude, I, he, I used to freaking love him back in the eight bass Pro days. Like I was like, or the eight was his bus series card and the one when he drove the cup car. Yeah. I was like, he was like the dude, but I guess he went he's been from team to team to team. Speaker 1 01:16:47 Yeah. It's, yeah, it's, it's crazy watching how people have gone to so many, like just how people moved to different teams, different cars and just how it's transitioned over the years. Yeah. Like it's in a different's in a very different place than it was like 10 years Speaker 2 01:17:00 Ago. It's, and it's all about money which sucks. Speaker 1 01:17:02 Which is what what what I was gonna ask you about cause you're such an avid NASCAR fan is like when people, like when the sponsors are freaking changing around and like, I feel like it's become so corporate that it's hurt the sport for die hard fans like yourself. Like it's not the same. And that's, that's the vibe that I get at Bristol. Yeah. A lot of my family in East Tennessee, they're like, we used to go to the races all the time and it was awesome, but now it's like they like the tickets are so expensive now that it, it's, it's knocking out the common man who's Yeah. Taking his family and taking his kids to the track and kids aren't becoming NASCAR fans right away. Like they don't have the experience that you had Yeah. Going to races when they were kids. Speaker 2 01:17:35 I think that that is a thing, the process of tickets. But like me just being like such a NASCAR guru like I am, like how much it costs to race, race cars is just absolutely astronomical. Like these dudes literally, like if your name is on the hood of a car, like it's like 20, it's like $250,000 to have a full, full primary sponsor. Like that's just not it. Like, it should not be that much. And these guys, it's hard. Like, I mean it's hard for a company to put up that much money and like they're signing like five, $10 million deals. Like it just costs too much to race and cars are now being built by like lasers and all these engineers and it's like they're building rocket ships and spaceships and back in the day you could build a championship winning car in your garage. Like Davey Allison in the eighties and nineties and them, when he won his championship in the Bush series, they built that car in his garage in the behind his house. Yeah. Like what happened to those days like growing up around all the dirt track racing guys, you know, like back home, like they build, they hang the bodies, they build the chassis, everything engines in the shop at their house. Yeah. Like it's not, it's it's nice but it's not, it's not a hundred million dollar nice. You know Speaker 3 01:18:44 Dude, whenever I got to tour some of those workshops and stuff, dude, Speaker 2 01:18:48 It's insane. Like Speaker 3 01:18:49 It's insanity. Like I asked a guy that one of my friends knew that was giving us the tour, I was like, so what'd you do for this? And he was like, um, before this I was like literally a rocket scientist at NASA and I got laid off from nasa so I decided to come do this. So I do aerodynamics for them. Speaker 2 01:19:05 You gotta have an engineering degree now to work on a car. Yeah. And like I get it. I understand. But that's not what it was born. And Speaker 3 01:19:12 I think NASCAR went wrong when they introduced the car of the Future. Speaker 2 01:19:14 Yeah. Car tomorrow 2008, 2000 car when we tanked. Yeah, Speaker 3 01:19:19 That's, that to me is whenever NASCAR stopped being nascar. Speaker 2 01:19:22 See like my favorite air in NASCAR is like 2000 to 2007 right before that happened. Like that is prime like no splits. Speaker 1 01:19:29 When when junior, when junior's going out doing his thing Speaker 2 01:19:31 In the eight Budweiser cars and you Speaker 1 01:19:33 And you got the, what were some, what were some of the big Speaker 3 01:19:35 Robberies? That's whenever uh, God, who was it? Hendricks was owning the sport at that Speaker 2 01:19:40 Point. Jimmy Johnson had five championships in a row. Speaker 3 01:19:42 Yeah. You had Johnson Earnhardt Jr. Gordon, Speaker 2 01:19:45 Jeff Gordon still ran great. Yeah. Speaker 3 01:19:46 All three of those were on the same team. Yeah. Like and then who was the fourth for that team? Mark Martin Speaker 2 01:19:51 Was there for a good Yeah. Hot minute. Speaker 3 01:19:52 Yeah. So it was like you had four solid drivers that was like the Yankees or the Patriots of nascar. Speaker 2 01:19:57 I mean that's four guys that can contend for championships. Exactly. I mean Mark Martin's like, that was like towards the end of his career, but I mean, that wasn't the end of his career, but he was like, they went out and won races, you know, like in 2000 9, 10, 11, like they were winning races and he was like 55 years old. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:20:11 <laugh>. He was competing with all these kids that were coming up. Yeah. That's awesome man. Yeah. I've, I've, I enjoyed, I want to get to another nascar I want to get to a NASCAR weekend as a fan and like actually dude, experience Speaker 2 01:20:21 This. What what both of y'all need to do is next time when we do this about every Sunday, there's not a Sunday race today, but y'all said, I would say y'all come over tonight, but uh, cuz there's a race tonight. Y'all said y'all were watching baseball. But one Sunday when there we help, we have like parties at the house. So like, I mean literally like, fuck beer bonging like shotgun beer. Speaker 1 01:20:41 I want, I want, I wanna watch a NASCAR race with you just to see what it's like because you're probably from the moment that it starts when the green flow, when the Speaker 2 01:20:48 Yeah, it's, it's, there's no like, there's no like sleeping or nothing. It's just like, we're like bosses of walls like cheering and, and Kayla and I keep bringing Kayla, but he's a huge NASCAR fan and he's always coming and watch races and I don't know if y'all know Jared Hartness, but he's a big NASCAR fan. Like those are all guys I've met here in Nashville and they're just like huge NASCAR dudes. So like we all get together and watch races and then I'm just a loud, obnoxious dude. Anyway, that's, that's, Speaker 1 01:21:10 That's, that's how I am with the Yankees. So Speaker 2 01:21:11 Then add Oh yeah, it's dude add beer on top of that <laugh> plus racing and it's just like, I'm probably the most annoying guy. What was Speaker 1 01:21:18 The video? There was a video, it was on somebody's Instagram story about you or you put something up and you're going Woo. Like getting very excited. Speaker 2 01:21:25 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's like my signature yell I guess you'd say. But <laugh>, so I just holler and scream all the time. What does it Speaker 1 01:21:31 Sound like? Can you, can you yell for us right now? Speaker 2 01:21:32 No, I don't know if I can do it in the mic. I could probably just be back Speaker 1 01:21:34 Away a little bit back away. I want to hear it Speaker 2 01:21:36 Like, Speaker 1 01:21:37 There we go. Yeah. We can do Speaker 2 01:21:38 It. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:21:39 Woo. Speaker 2 01:21:41 Yeah. That wasn't too bad. Yeah, that's how, that's how I would do it. That's like my thing, you know, and I made a, you're probably talking about the TikTok I made the other day. Yeah. I made a TikTok and uh, I'm like dancing or something at the end of it. I'm like, woo, you know, do the big yell like I'm playing like some walka flock of sound soundtrack in the back. And I was like that feeling when Chase Elliot wins the All-Star race, you know, and I'm just like wearing like a cutoff Dell Jr shirt and just, you know, being a redneck NASCAR fan. Hell yeah. Just what I do. Speaker 1 01:22:08 It's that self way to do it. Go a hundred percent. Yeah, that's what I do. Hell yeah, dude. No, that's, that's exciting. Man, but 2020, man, it sounds like you're making a lot of lemonade outta these damn covid, lemons. Putting the, putting the, getting the music out there. And I'm looking forward to this, this, um, you telling us about that song coming out, labor Day, like 10 to plan y'all got right now. Yeah, it's exciting man. Speaker 2 01:22:27 I haven't really told anybody that. See, this is the first place to hear it. Speaker 1 01:22:29 Exclusive. We got an exclusive, exclusive Boudreau. We got a fucking exclusive. Speaker 2 01:22:32 It's like, cause mean, I said it's just, just started. I mean, just started having those conversations and hell yeah. Speaker 1 01:22:37 It's a, you said, you said you have a, you said you have a pub. You said that you were with a pub company. Who you with for publishing? Speaker 2 01:22:43 Bmg. Speaker 1 01:22:44 Bmg. No shit. Oh yeah. Hell yeah, dude. I had no idea. That's badass. Yeah. How long have you been with them? Speaker 2 01:22:49 Uh, about two, a little over two and a half years. Nice. Speaker 1 01:22:51 Hell yeah. So you're, you're a professional songwriter. Speaker 2 01:22:54 That's what they call me, I guess. Fuck Speaker 1 01:22:56 Yeah, bro. Dude, that's awesome. That's fucking sick. Speaker 2 01:23:00 Yeah, I guess. Hell yeah. No, I'm just kidding. I love it. It's cool. Yeah, dude, I love it. It's, uh, getting, I mean, getting to write songs for a living is the coolest job in the world, you know, like, I would never take it for granted. It's, it is the coolest thing in the world to sit down, meet all these people, get to do all this stuff and write songs every day. Speaker 1 01:23:18 What's your favorite place that you've gotten to play? Speaker 2 01:23:21 Dude, I had always say back home, like the first time I ever got to play the Brew House full band and we sold like, almost 400 tickets. I literally, I was like on the highest of Cloud Nines ever. Speaker 1 01:23:32 What was the, you've probably seen a lot of shows there too. Tons of shows. Lot of people have gone through the brew house. Yeah. Speaker 2 01:23:37 Lot of shows. I mean, I've seen, I mean I've seen Riley Greene, I've seen John Langston, I've seen Muscadine, I've, I've opened for job there before, but I've Speaker 1 01:23:46 Yeah, I was gonna say yeah, cause Job's Job's, he's from Dego right? Which isn't too far. Speaker 2 01:23:51 Yeah. It's just like, it's on the east side of Georgia. We're on the west about in the same spot. He's just literally to the east. Um, I've been to his shows there. I've opened shows for Job Darris. I've done both of those. I've seen Job open for John Langston there before I saw, um, back in like high school, I saw John Langston open for Colt Taylor at the house. Speaker 1 01:24:14 Oh shit. Back when four Wheel Drive was in full effect. That Speaker 2 01:24:17 Was before four wheel drive. Oh really? Yeah. I mean this was like 2013. Speaker 1 01:24:22 So this is back when, when they're all really stuck Speaker 2 01:24:24 Out and like, and no Joe, like dude Joe seen Joe Diffey play there. Florida Georgian Line played there back in like oh nine, 2010. Damn. Uh, Thomas Retz played there. Brett Eldridge has played there Speaker 1 01:24:35 And now and now you're playing there Speaker 2 01:24:37 On the way. No, I'm playing there. I'm hoping I can get to all their like, level of career one day. We all started out at the Brew House, but I mean, I feel that's helped me out a lot though. Being able to see like all those, all these, all these tears of artists come through the brew house because I'm still friends with all of my, my friends on social media and stuff and the people that buy tickets to those shows. So I see like what kind of music and like the kind of music they consume and wanna buy tickets to see and some people that don't get to go to those shows and see that like right there directly. I feel like that's like a little bit of an advantage. I can just see like all these people come through here and literally go from like Riley Green's first show there of selling like 50 tickets to him. Sound out two nights in a row there. Yeah. You know what I mean? Now he's playing the freaking forum, which is just right across the street from the brew house and it holds like, I mean they sold like three or 4,000 tickets. That's like a huge deal, you know what I mean? Yeah. Like just to see that growth from like 50 people to 4,000 or whatever it was. So Speaker 1 01:25:31 Yeah. Who it's awesome. Who on that that um, that's come kind of like before you, have you gotten to know any of those guys really well and like, has anybody like given you like advice like of the Georgia Boys and stuff like that? Speaker 2 01:25:41 Not really. I've met Riley before. I was, I was right there at Dillon one time and like he came in like we were already done right. And just like sitting there shooting shit and he came in like got to meet him and then not really though, like being at the shows and stuff, you know, it's cool like when you get to, especially if you're opening the show, you get to be around everybody and hang out with 'em, but not really. I mean it's just get up there and play your balls off and chuck beer and slinging on the people, you know. Speaker 1 01:26:06 When did the Stone Cold thing start Speaker 2 01:26:09 <laugh>? Uh, probably sometime last year. Probably. It was at the brew house when it started. I pissed my dad off. My dad hates it with a passion Speaker 1 01:26:16 <laugh>. Uh, Speaker 2 01:26:17 I, the first time I did it, I just like the first time this actually started and he became a thing on social media was at Talladega with a buddy of mine named Matt McKinney. I Speaker 1 01:26:28 Don't know. Oh, I know Matt. He the giant. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 2 01:26:30 He's like eight foot tall. Yes. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:26:31 <laugh>. Speaker 2 01:26:32 Um, so in Ray's Rowdy's involved in this as well. We get to take over, we're doing like a raised rowdy takeover at our campsite at Dega and I'm like in charge of their Instagram account. And so Nick's just like basically post whatever you want, just don't post anybody naked on the page. And I was like, sounds good. I was like, pretty much though, if you like turn around at Talladega, some girl has their shirt off so it's like you could just turn around. I was like, I just better like keep the camera, you know, face in like one direction. Anyway, it was Matt's idea and we get on the back of his truck, remember this dude, I can't remember his name, I think his name's Colby we're in a flatbed like dodge jacked up truck and he has his mom made him this blanket, like this towel. Speaker 2 01:27:09 And there's a picture him like American flag glasses and a mullet and it's like made on a towel. He's got it hanging on the bed of his truck. So there's like Yeti coolers and shit on the bed of this truck. And we go up there and like Stone Coal 'em. And then like, that's just kind of where it started. So it started digging. Then I started doing it on shows and then it's like became a thing like people that like catch the beer cans after I throw 'em, like they'll bring them up and like ask me like sign the beer cans and stuff. Like, it's like awesome. But my dad got pissed the first time I did it cuz I like smash 'em and like throw 'em. He's like GD motherfucker like damn can goes right by my head. Like, what are you doing throwing cans in the crowd like that? I was like, dude, people think that's the awesomest thing in the world. Like I'm gonna keep doing it. I've literally done it at every show since Speaker 1 01:27:49 Autographed Dawson Edwards beer Speaker 2 01:27:51 Cans. I autographed beer can that I threw out one night at the Brew house. So it was like a hometown thing, but about the only place I've ever signed autographs in my whole life is my hometown. But hey, I'll take it. Hey, Speaker 1 01:28:02 That's freaking awesome. Hell yeah. I love, I love hearing that bro. Yeah. Um, but bro, it was, this has been a blast, man. This has been fun. It's been a lot of fun. I can't wait to go to races with you. Yeah. And, and hang out a lot more, man. Now where can people go to like, catch you on social media? So you're big. So you're on TikTok now? Speaker 2 01:28:18 Just started TikTok. Speaker 1 01:28:19 How's that going? Speaker 2 01:28:20 I'm just trying to figure it out. I I don't really know. I just do Speaker 1 01:28:23 All the stupidest stuff. You can, Speaker 2 01:28:24 You'll be famous. Yeah, that's kind of what I'm going for. Like, you know, posting videos, you start doing some of those dances, you know, so <laugh> talking to my publisher and uh, I've actually got a, we got a solid idea, but we're gonna like duet some like just basic white girl do it, her little dance. And I have a NASCAR uh, Ricky Stenhouse driving suit. We like do the dance with the suit on like in the TikTok. Yeah. I feel like that should get some traction, right? Like yeah, me shaking my ass on TikTok and find Speaker 1 01:28:50 One of the famous ones. Speaker 2 01:28:51 Yeah. And duet her. Yeah. I feel like it's only girls that do those dances, but hell, I'm gonna give it a shot dude. Speaker 1 01:28:57 We'll we'll be on the lookout for that. Hell yeah. And then you're on Instagram and Twitter and all that Speaker 2 01:29:01 Shit. Instagram, Twitter, uh, Facebook, all that music's on Spotify. Speaker 3 01:29:06 What's the handles? They can find you out on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Speaker 2 01:29:09 Dawson, average music on everything. Cool. I'm not sure what my Twitter, it's my Twitter handle's not that. But if you look up Dawson Edwards, I'll pop up. Do you tweet a lot? I do, but mainly about racing. Okay. Speaker 1 01:29:19 Real quick. So we do a segment on here. It's been a while. Yeah, it has been a while. So you're the first podcast that we've done like in person? Yeah. Since like March. I wanna say April. Like no March. March 16th was the last in person one. Oh yeah. Last in person. Last in person was before, before Covid hit. Yeah. Um, and what Tyler, so Tyler's got, he's, he is on Twitter a lot and we have a troll account we'll show you after. Okay. Um, cuz it, it remains anonymous Speaker 3 01:29:44 At 85 Dawson Speaker 2 01:29:46 Is my Twitter handle. Yes. All right. Well, so it's, it's, it's, so the thing is, I tell everybody if I was gonna just like delete all social media, I would keep Twitter because like, you know how you can like mute stuff? You can, you pretty much just see like what you wanna see. Right? And so I have all like, the news that I care about and it's like a lot of racing in Georgia football basically. And that's the two of the things I care about. So that's what I have my Twitter for. And I don't really post a whole lot about music, but I have people that are fans of like, big NASCAR fans that have met me through there and like, oh hell yeah, you play music and they just become like big fans. So it's helped me out a lot and I don't have like a big following on Twitter or nothing, but it's just straight up mainly a lot of racing stuff. Speaker 1 01:30:22 Do we, do we, do we get any drunk tweets? Do you ever like drunk tweet? Yeah, Speaker 2 01:30:25 If I'm pissed off about a race, I'll do, you gotta Speaker 3 01:30:27 Get one. Here's, here's one from seven 12. So the 12th, so that was what, two weeks ago? Speaker 2 01:30:35 Uh, yes. Yeah, Speaker 3 01:30:36 Yeah, yeah. I've tried, I've really, really tried to enjoy this package, but man, I'm ready for some no spoiler and some hide down force. I need it. Yeah, explain that one that Speaker 2 01:30:48 Is talking about in the NASCAR package. I, I I hope it doesn't say hide down force. I hope it says high horsepower. It Speaker 3 01:30:54 Not, it says hide down force. Speaker 2 01:30:56 Oh, I totally messed it. See I was probably drunk. Speaker 3 01:30:58 It Speaker 2 01:30:58 Was like I get pissed off and that's when I like, I make a drunk tweet, it's like, dude, I get pissed off. But NASCAR's like got this package where they like lowered the horsepower. I got huge spoilers on the car and I'm like, man, I wanna have big engines again and no spoilers and back to way it used to be. So that's what that was about. Speaker 1 01:31:14 Hell yeah. Speaker 3 01:31:15 You apparently love whenever people wreck. Speaker 2 01:31:18 I do. You love a Speaker 3 01:31:18 Good wreck?
