We have got a great episode for you all today. Coming to you live from the DM Monday Studios here in the heart of Music City on Music Row in Nashville, Tennessee. We have got episode number 97 with two guests. We did a two for on this one. Um, technically a guess around two because we've had Dylan Marlo on before, but we have never had a combination of an artist with his or her tour manager at the same time. And me being a tour manager and um, obviously interviewing a lot of artists and being a guy that's out on the road too, it was a really cool conversation to see what's going on in the world of Dylan Marlowe and with his best friend and day literally.
Speaker 1 00:01:04 Day one buddy, um, Tyler Collins, also known as Screech, talking to about the road. Um, all the Dylan's got going on some big tour stuff he's got coming up with Colt Swindell, the stuff he just did with Dylan Scott. All kinds of cool things. And of course here in his backstory, shooting the shit, which is something we love to do here on in the Round. Gotta tell you about our sponsors. We got our friends at Whale Tale Media. Just had one of the biggest rounds in Live Oak Music Row history with our boy Whales and his team from Whale Tale Media. It was massive. It was huge. It was great. Um, so shout out to Whale Tale Media. We love them. We also got our friends at Saxon Studios, Grady Saxon and the crew over there at Mount Juliet. Great quality recording, great team for a very great price. Grady and his team are there to work with you. Check out our friends at Saxon Studios. And then last, but certainly not least, our boy, Mitch Wallace and his company, the Digital Marketing Agency, helping you out with content. TikTok, Instagram. I'm still figuring this shit out myself, Mitch, and the guys have been helping me out a ton. They can help you out too. Hit up our boy Mitch Wallace. Now that further ado, we're gonna get into it. This is episode 97 of the End the Round podcast with our boys, Dylan Marlowe and Screech
Speaker 1 00:02:18 Intro, like before and do all that. Cool. So we're all, so we'll just, we'll just pick
Speaker 2 00:02:21 It up. So Yeah, for sure. Y'all are rolling. Here we go.
Speaker 1 00:02:23 So how, how the hell are you boys doing? You good with that microphone, Dylan? I
Speaker 2 00:02:26 Think so. You're
Speaker 1 00:02:27 Gonna have to learn how to talk on the microphone like that. You be doing radio interviews and shit before, you know,
Speaker 2 00:02:32 Learning out how to figure it out. Learn
Speaker 1 00:02:33 How to figure out, see Screech is all set up and ready to
Speaker 2 00:02:35 Go. This is my second podcast. First one doesn't really, I mean it counts, but what was, what was your first one? It was with his little brother actually. He, he's tried to do that. The old, uh, oh yeah, he tried to build up the podcast thing. I don't know if he was, what
Speaker 1 00:02:46 Was it on? Like what was he doing? Just having
Speaker 2 00:02:48 Different people on or? Yeah, well it was back home, so it was kind of small. But he called it like dialed in. It was talking about like hunting. Talking about hunting. Yeah. Which
Speaker 1 00:02:54 Perfect for you guys. It
Speaker 2 00:02:56 Makes total sense for sure. Then we kind of slowly trickled into Bulldogs cuz it was football season. Yeah,
Speaker 1 00:03:02 Yeah. Which it was a good, been a good, um, it
Speaker 2 00:03:04 Was good to be a dog. It
Speaker 1 00:03:05 Was a good year to be a dog. Good year. To be a brave. Right now is a good time to be a, a New York Yankee, which
Speaker 2 00:03:10 I'm very happy about. Y'all are killing. I looked at y'all's stats the other day. Y'all are like, which
Speaker 3 00:03:14 It'll be good to be a Yankee take play up, which just leads.
Speaker 1 00:03:17 I don't know if either of us will get just the way baseball fucking works, man. Like the Astros fucking still scare me and like, I don't know. It's with, um, with the Yankees, I get so hyped every year and then they always fucking let me down. This is the longest drought we've had in my lifetime. It's been 13 years since we've won. Which makes me sound selfish cuz of what you Georgia fans dealt with for so long without winning a title.
Speaker 2 00:03:37 Baseball and football all the time.
Speaker 1 00:03:38 Baseball, football, every, everything, man. But you guys are both from one of my favorite towns in the country. People always ask, where's your favorite place to go, Matt? I always, I always say, I'm like, oh, going home cool. But going to South Georgia, there's nothing like playing into a drunk college, rowdy crowd with critters everywhere. Great place. We, we love Statesboro, Georgia and that's where you guys are from, so, yeah. Yeah. What, what was it like growing up in a place where Country Mu, I mean you can't tell the story of country music the last 20 years without mentioning Statesboro, Georgia, just the guys in girls that have come through there. What was it like growing up there?
Speaker 3 00:04:13 It was nuts. <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:04:14 I mean, it, it was, it was country. It was, it was, uh, country and buttered biscuits. I mean, dear Lord, I mean, whenever you, like you was talking about the favorite places to play and talking about state spur in the blue room, it's like you gotta part the bus like where the, where dumpsters are and hell, before you get on the bus, you don't know if you gotta fight a raccoon or not. <laugh>, I mean, we grew up in the sticks. It was fun though.
Speaker 3 00:04:36 Yeah. I mean we, the music scene was heavy right until I got into it though, so I didn't ever really get a taste of it. Um,
Speaker 1 00:04:43 What, what do you mean by it was heavy? Like a lot of rock stuff?
Speaker 3 00:04:45 Like dude, no, just like church, Luke Bryan Aldean, all those people came through there, but it was right before I got into play music. And so like the last concert that I went that was actually had in that little plaza, which was where everybody came through, uh, I was like 17. I stuck into a John Langston concert and I think Jordan Reger was opening. So it was like a while ago, but before that I didn't even get, it sucks cuz everybody talks about how good it was. I never got any,
Speaker 1 00:05:12 Cause Statesboro has had had its ups and downs in the last, cause I have friends that played football there. My buddy Cole, I think he, he played football there the year. You guys I think beat Did you guys beat Florida one year? Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:05:22 We beat we had to go to Florida to played them though. We still beat him. That was, yeah, I remember that day like
Speaker 1 00:05:27 To a tee saying there was a, there was a bar that was wild back there. Right? That's not there anymore.
Speaker 3 00:05:31 I mean, Rudy's
Speaker 1 00:05:32 Probably mean Rudy's, yeah.
Speaker 2 00:05:33 I mean you got Tav, Rudy's, retrievers, um, the, I mean, uh, shenanigans and they all just kind of like faded out every time.
Speaker 1 00:05:42 And now,
Speaker 2 00:05:42 Now it's just like southern social and Blue room
Speaker 1 00:05:44 And the blue room is
Speaker 2 00:05:45 Just, but then you got your OG bars that still are like, you go there during the day pre-game and get you some chicken fingers and then you kind of stay there until like the nightlife, which is Nats and Dingus. McGee's.
Speaker 3 00:05:56 Yeah. We have a Zaxby's that stays open until two.
Speaker 1 00:05:59 That's, yeah, that's important. It's important to know those, those spots that stay open very late,
Speaker 2 00:06:03 Man. State Pro's where the original Zaxby's is from. Really? Yeah. Or
Speaker 3 00:06:07 That one right there on, on campus? Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:06:09 Right across from Deis. McGee's. It's like a mile from the blue room. Yeah, it was like a college tur it was a college project and then they like, it just blew up for 'em in Statesboro. So they, it is what it is now. No
Speaker 1 00:06:19 Shit, man. Well, I love going to Statesboro and you guys have to see where things have gone for for you. And by extension. You, you, you guys have been together doing this thing. Now, when did it, when did you Dylan reach out and be like, yo Screech, let's do this, let's do this music thing. Or were you always just kind of right by his side as he was getting involved in music? What's the story
Speaker 2 00:06:36 Of two coming up? I was say, I remember the, I remember the first day we met, I mean all the way up until, you
Speaker 3 00:06:41 Know, like, I gotta tell him, check this out.
Speaker 2 00:06:43 <laugh>. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3 00:06:46 Story. So my grandma had a townhouse, which is like, for those of you that don't know, it's like one house connected to another house. There's a wall in the middle. Yeah. My grandma lived on the right. His girlfriend's grandma at the time lived on the left. So I was always over there and he was always over there, but we never knew each other. And he had this red ranger and I had this like lifted blue truck and I vividly remember the first time ever seeing Screech. I pulled up in the driveway and he pulled in the other driveway, <laugh>. And we just got out and stared at each other. Like, who is this guy? I think he is
Speaker 2 00:07:17 <laugh>. We were trying to big dog both each other
Speaker 3 00:07:19 Like, you're 16, you know, you're like, who the hell does this guy think he is? And we just like stared at each other all the way walking in the door. Like,
Speaker 2 00:07:27 And then like, whenever I walked inside, I was like, who's that kid that keeps pulling up in that clapped out Chevy <laugh>? And they was like, oh, that's Dylan. And he does this little hat brand called Hooks and Horns or whatever. You should get a, uh, get one of his hats. I was like, I don't want one of them damn thing
Speaker 1 00:07:43 <laugh> fuck, fuck that guy in his
Speaker 2 00:07:45 Truck. I want him to leave <laugh>. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:07:48 So that's how we first kind of met. But then after that, um,
Speaker 2 00:07:52 It was at the pond house.
Speaker 3 00:07:54 Yeah. I would just start playing shows and Screech would just be there.
Speaker 2 00:07:58 No, it was di like when we officially like shook hands and was like, Hey, I'm Screech. Hey, I'm Dylan. Um, he was picking, we was drinking a few beers out on the, uh, pond house porch one night. And uh, my buddy Brock, he was like, Hey, I got a guy that I just met. He's trying to like play guitar and this, that and the other. And I, I was like, alright, cool. Heck yeah, we'll sit on the front porch and hang out all night. And I was like, this kid's kind of cool, you know, once I, when I saw the blue truck pull up, I'm like, oh, let's go time this motherfucker, I'm, I'm about to strangle this bitch <laugh>. Then he hopped out with a guitar full of stickers. It's like, I was like, all right, you know, I'll give him a shot or whatever.
Speaker 2 00:08:34 And then we was like, best buds from that night on. And then he was like, Hey man, it's Friday night, you know, I'm playing a little acoustic gig at Locos, you know, come hang out. I went and then I went to another and then another and then another. And then I started like helping him bring stuff in and then I started helping plug stuff up. <laugh> I would ask him. And then it turned into one night, I forgot where we were. He di was like, you wanna be my manager? And I was like, hell yes. The
Speaker 3 00:08:58 Funniest thing is, is I, before I had even asked him that I, I think it was Barrel House maybe, or it was somewhere and I was like, damn it like night's done. I gotta go get paid. Like I hate doing this. And he's like, I already got the check bud. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1 00:09:13 I forgot about
Speaker 2 00:09:14 That. Like,
Speaker 3 00:09:14 You got paid for me. Like what? Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:09:17 I forgot about that.
Speaker 3 00:09:18 Yeah. And we just kinda, I mean we got, we have so much in common and we're so competitive too. Yeah, yeah. Like when it comes to anything that we can be like super competitive, but then we're still like best friends after, so that's cool. Yeah. But also like we, we've also learned how to take it like yeah, we're best friends but then on the road we've learned how to take it to like that busy, you know, they say don't work with your best friends cuz but like he could probably shoot me or I could shoot him. We'd be cool after like yeah. It, it ain't like that. So we've learned how to take it to that professional level and if there's problems we talk about it and it's
Speaker 1 00:09:51 Great. Yeah. Cuz being on the road, you're with a group of guys in a tight space, especially like the situation that you guys are, I'm in that situ, I'm in that situation right now going around and the amount of dates that you guys have done this year, the amount of dates you guys did last year, the amount of dates you got coming up, like right. It's a lot. Being on the road and living with someone that you're living with your fucking tour manager. That's, that's a lot. Like, cuz it's like, I don't know if I could live with someone that I tour
Speaker 2 00:10:16 With. I guess I never thought of it that way. Now that you say that, is it with
Speaker 1 00:10:18 Each other? Seven days a week, granted four, seven. I know you got your old lady and like you guys are are out doing your thing too, where you're not together 24 7. But it's tough to like, that dynamic isn't for everybody.
Speaker 3 00:10:29 Yeah. I don't know, it's just, we're just, just
Speaker 2 00:10:33 Chill. Yeah. Cause I mean it's like,
Speaker 3 00:10:35 I think it comes to a respect thing
Speaker 2 00:10:36 Too. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3 00:10:37 True. Like a lot of people like just don't respect like certain things about each other. Yeah. You know, so how I think that's how it works.
Speaker 2 00:10:44 We know, we know boundaries and buttons and Yeah. So sometimes we love pushing them. <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:10:48 <laugh>. So when did you get the call from Dylan? Cause I know you came up here first. When did you get the call?
Speaker 2 00:10:52 Oh dude remember was
Speaker 1 00:10:53 Like that. You gotta get up
Speaker 2 00:10:53 Here. I remember that day vividly.
Speaker 3 00:10:56 Yeah. I mean Dallas, uh, my publisher was looking for somebody to kind of feel like a, um, what would you say, what position would you like an admin position? Kind of. Okay. Front desk kind of get stuff going
Speaker 2 00:11:09 And I kind of like took over their catalog almost like, basically
Speaker 3 00:11:12 Yeah. Yeah. And it was like, you think your buddy Screech would wanna move up here? And I
Speaker 2 00:11:16 Was like, because I met them at, at the Georgia Vanderbilt game, like the whole PA thing. I met 'em all.
Speaker 3 00:11:21 I was like, do I think Screech would want to get paid to move here? <laugh>? Yeah. Yeah. And so he is like, well, tell him to come on. And I was like, you serious? He's like, yeah. So we got him up here and that's how, I mean that was the, the beginning of it. You know,
Speaker 2 00:11:36 I remember the first time Cade called and was like, so I heard you talked to Dale and he told you the scoop. He was like, so when you thinking about wanting to move up here, I was like, buddy, I'll throw my clothes in a trash bag and come right now.
Speaker 1 00:11:48 Get on, get on up the road.
Speaker 2 00:11:49 Yeah. Hell that.
Speaker 3 00:11:51 And then sadly when Covid hit and everybody got, you know, hard on jobs, but I mean, we've been picking up hell, we've been so busy now. I don't even know if you could,
Speaker 2 00:12:01 I don't even know if I could have been stayed,
Speaker 3 00:12:03 Been there. You
Speaker 1 00:12:04 Know, it's, it's a great feeling when you're, especially when you're, when you're with a guy from day one. Yeah. Literally day one like you guys are Yeah. Are playing those, you're playing those acoustic gigs back home in Statesboro to now where you can be his tour manager full time. Yeah. And there's gigs all the time and going all around and opportunities and you're about to have, by the time this thing airs, I think that party cut's gonna be, should be up toward, where is it? I know it's top 10.
Speaker 3 00:12:26 Be top 10 as of yesterday. Which
Speaker 1 00:12:28 Dude, what the, that's fucking huge. You get and you're getting to watch you probably do that. Like watch him do the writing thing. Watch him do the artist thing and it
Speaker 2 00:12:36 Shit we dreamed about like as kids. Like
Speaker 3 00:12:39 Yeah, for
Speaker 1 00:12:40 Sure. And it's happening. You guys are still young. Yeah. Like you're, you're how, how old are
Speaker 3 00:12:43 You? 25. You're 25. How
Speaker 1 00:12:45 Old are you? 26. Yeah. You guys like, we're all still young in our twenties. Yeah. And shit's happening. Like some guys gotta wait until their thirties, forties for that kind of shit to happen. So No, we're,
Speaker 3 00:12:54 We're blessed. We're for sure blessed. Listen, we have a great group of guys too. Like on the road,
Speaker 1 00:12:59 What's, we're constantly learning shit. What's, what's the band like? Who gets the most shit? Cause I'm the tour manager. I get the most shit from everybody when we're out there. Tour manager and our crew gets the, gets most
Speaker 3 00:13:07 Hell, I I creature David.
Speaker 2 00:13:08 I was about to say either of you Dave, you know,
Speaker 1 00:13:10 I know David. David's a character.
Speaker 3 00:13:11 He's funny man. Yeah. But,
Speaker 2 00:13:12 But David can flip it right back around and he just like, yeah, David,
Speaker 3 00:13:15 David gives it back. That's why I like Dave. But I mean we all, I mean there's like, you know, you're on the road, it's like there's obviously sometimes there's like frustrations or sometimes there's like this and that. But we're we're really good. I think about, about getting it together and
Speaker 1 00:13:30 Well I'm saying like the ball busting, just the ripping. Oh like it's like a love language when you're on the road to be breaking each
Speaker 2 00:13:36 Other's balls.
Speaker 3 00:13:36 No, it's kinda like, it's probably between Dave. Probably between you and Dave. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:13:42 I think me and Dave get the most shit but we can flip it right back.
Speaker 1 00:13:45 Yeah. It's just that you gotta know how to flip it, right? Yeah,
Speaker 3 00:13:47 Exactly. Dude, last week, like our, somebody had said who said something about you in the bus and Screech was driving, I think it might have been Jeff. And because you know, like me and Screech will throw the guitar back. Like I'll chunk it. We'll just get
Speaker 1 00:13:58 That Tosses is boil.
Speaker 3 00:14:00 We just get crazy and chunk it. And so Jeff was like, yo, are you ready to do your guitar toss for Instagram this week? <laugh>, I think Screech slammed on breaks so hard. Everybody
Speaker 2 00:14:10 <laugh>,
Speaker 1 00:14:11 I'll turn this bus around. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 00:14:14 Yes. They give it back. That's what I like, man. Like, you can't be in our crew and like, not be good at taking it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:14:19 That's how, that's how our crew is
Speaker 3 00:14:21 Too. Cause if, if you are, then it's just, and we've had that before. It's, it sucks. Yeah. Cause you, you just, you gotta, you gotta be able to take crap, you know?
Speaker 1 00:14:30 Yeah. And
Speaker 3 00:14:30 Especially in our crew
Speaker 1 00:14:31 <laugh>. Yeah. And you guys have had the, the opportunity to, to open for a lot of people and go out on full-fledged tours. The the di the the Dylan squared tour as I, as I was referring to it with, with you guys and, and Dylan Scott. What was it like doing that with when you guys are going out? What was, what was night one? Like where had you met Dylan before the tour and all that
Speaker 3 00:14:49 Or? Yeah, a couple times we did some like content. It's funny though cuz the whole reason I'm convinced that we got on that tour is one night, um, Dow was opening for Luke Bryan on the farm tour. Yeah. Like the, as the peach pickers. Him and Ret and Ben and I was like, yo, screech, you wanna run up to Ohio?
Speaker 3 00:15:07 Illinois. Illinois. Like Dow gets us backstage passes and my, and Dow was using my ba sorry I got a burp so much damn Dow was using my band because I wasn't on the road and he needed a, they needed a band for this like nine date tour. Yeah. So he had all my band pretty much except my bass player and drummer. And uh, so we get up there and we met Dylan, he side stage. He was like, yo, are you Dylan Marlow? I was like, yeah. He's like, man, I'm, I'm a fan. And I'm like, holy shit. Like that's
Speaker 1 00:15:36 Nuts, Dylan Fucking Scott. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:15:39 And then, um, that was an interesting night.
Speaker 1 00:15:42 What happened that night?
Speaker 3 00:15:45 There was an interesting one. Oh yeah. I'll tell you after.
Speaker 1 00:15:49 No, you can, we love interesting stories. We could always cut stuff out. <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:15:52 Oh boy.
Speaker 3 00:15:54 I'll just save it for later. Okay. Okay. Um, but we, we met Dylan and, and they were super cool. Their whole crew was cool even then, man. And, and um, he followed me on Instagram like a week later and then Cade was like, yo, like super crazy but you're going on tour with Dylan Scott. I was like, holy crap. I like can't help but think that going there and just putting a face to a face was like, and they had been looking for a, a like an opener for a tour. And uh, I think that was like a 90% of the reason we got on that tour, you know, it's
Speaker 2 00:16:27 Cause we made that six hour hall. Yeah. Just to shake babies and kiss hands, you know?
Speaker 3 00:16:32 Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 00:16:32 Oh, we love shaking babies <laugh>. And
Speaker 3 00:16:34 So, uh, yeah. And I mean Dylan is like the, the like 12 outta 10 guy. Yeah. Coolest guy ever. Anything we needed that whole time him or his whole
Speaker 2 00:16:44 Career, whole camp was honestly.
Speaker 3 00:16:45 Yeah. Him and, um, Robbie and, and everybody
Speaker 1 00:16:48 Really. What was like the biggest thing you guys learned from that tour?
Speaker 2 00:16:51 How to run? I think it was how to, it's that, it's a couple things. It's like how to take in the moment when you're there for sure. Like how to, when you're on stage and you're looking out, you're like, it, it takes that drive that you have and it just multiplies it cuz you want that, you know, as well, even though we get to open it up, it's just like a, a thing in your mind is like, dang, I want to be this one day and the headline for the, this amount of people. And then another thing, I feel like it matured us a little bit. Oh yeah. And then it, which there turned into a tighter ship and I mean I, a lot, a lot of beneficial things came outta
Speaker 1 00:17:32 That. You guys ever, did you guys ever go over time?
Speaker 3 00:17:35 No. No. What they wanted us to? Yeah. They were like, yeah, wow. Play more songs.
Speaker 2 00:17:39 We did the whole tour without going over. We
Speaker 3 00:17:40 Did like 35. You know, it was a perfect amount. Cuz I mean, honestly as a, as an opener, like in my opinion, if, if you don't know who I am and you come to the, the show, I want to give you like 30 minutes of just up here the whole time. High energy. Yeah. High energy songs, like one Low energy song, but also like anything over 30, 35, if you're not the headliner and people don't know who you are, they're like, ready for Dylan Scott. Yeah. So you wanna take that 30 minutes and just like, make the biggest thing as much as you can, but you also like want them to be like, dang, I, I kind of wanna see that again. If you give 'em an hour, then they're like, that was too much of this, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:18:16 The, and I saw a lot of the video. You guys did a really good job documenting all of that. I was watching by chance to throw, they're like, look at the boys doing this shit. Yeah. We tried to, um, seeing, um, seeing the crowd sing back some of the originals, like, it's crazy man. Like all about it and seeing, um, seeing, um, I'll keep, I'll keep the country like
Speaker 3 00:18:33 Yeah, it was, it was nuts. I mean, tons of these places we've never been, and I, you know, I'm sure some of it was people seeing the flyer and there was a lot of people man, that, that were coming out and just, that were just fans. It was crazy already. And we haven't even hit that. Mark.
Speaker 1 00:18:48 What, what was the, what was the wild like wildest city that you remember? Oh
Speaker 3 00:18:51 Gosh. The wildest one for me, I don't know. Surprisingly Huntington, New York was
Speaker 2 00:18:58 Freaking, oh, that's long.
Speaker 1 00:19:00 The Paramount, that's Long Island.
Speaker 3 00:19:01 And then that's good time out there.
Speaker 2 00:19:02 Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 00:19:03 That was fun. All the Cali shows weren't nice. Cali shows were fun. Utah, I mean, not Utah, but, uh, where did we go after Montana?
Speaker 2 00:19:09 Uh, we went to Salt Lake City, Utah. And then we went somewhere in Idaho.
Speaker 3 00:19:15 Salt was, which one was like the Mormon one where they didn't drink
Speaker 2 00:19:18 Salt Lake
Speaker 3 00:19:18 City? That's so that one sucked.
Speaker 2 00:19:20 Or Utah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:19:21 Salt Lake City, the other one. That was great. And then Atlanta was awesome. I mean we had some Atlanta, what would you say? Probably Atlanta. And then there was a show after the tour that wasn't technically on the tour. I remember that. Pop Point, North Carolina. I mean, oh,
Speaker 1 00:19:35 Ziggy Ziggy's, right? Yep.
Speaker 3 00:19:36 Something like that. That's
Speaker 2 00:19:37 That
Speaker 1 00:19:38 Ziggy that that outdoor one.
Speaker 3 00:19:39 And dude, we, everybody there was singing our stuff. Yeah. It was nuts. I've never been
Speaker 2 00:19:44 There. It was like the biggest sing back crowd.
Speaker 3 00:19:46 Yeah, it was, dude, there was so many good ones. And it's like, even the, the shows that we thought were bad weren't even bad. Like on, on our part. You know, you see videos and you're like, oh, that's not too bad. But you learn, you know? Yeah. Biggest thing I learned I think was like, you get this tour and you're like, oh sweet, it's 30 dates for sure. But then like, what about after? Yeah. You know, I think the biggest thing I taught myself was to just live in the moment and just kind of trust God. Cuz like there's, there's gonna be other opportunities after and the cold thing comes up, you know, it's like crazy.
Speaker 1 00:20:21 Which, which to me is just the full circle of Statesboro, Georgia being around, being Statesboro Georgia For sure. Just like you used, you were talking about helping him carrying in his gear and start plugging stuff in. That's exactly what Cole did for Luke for sure. Really? Yeah. I mean that's, that's like, if you watch that, um, I learned that watching that, uh, that documentary Oh, that they did on that was a good, where it was where they were talking about Cole was just this, this kid that was going to school at Southern that was at all the shows at Dingus or wherever where, where Luke was playing and was just ended up hanging up. Not seen that Uhuh. And he just ended up hanging, what's it on? It's on
Speaker 3 00:20:52 Like i b or something.
Speaker 1 00:20:54 It was on, it's on Amazon Prime. You can find it. Gotcha. It's on there. Gotcha. But like they were talking about, and they show all these old videos of like, of a curly haired Cole Swindell just having beers in the van that's in the van after the shows. And then they just started bringing him out to sell merch and then one day he was like, I'm brightened. And then bing bang, boom. You know, it's just you Georgia guys do such a good job of picking each other up. So Was that for sure. So how'd you find about the cold thing? Did he, did he call you? Is that something that
Speaker 3 00:21:18 No, dude. Um, so my agent, Kevin Meads had called me and uh, he was like, yo, well we had, we had had one lunch and he was like, and we, I was like, he's like, I enjoyed that and uh, let's have, let's just do a lunch a month or something. So I went to this lunch and uh, it was right after I got off the road and I came in, we sat down at this place and, uh, he was like, man, I, I'm sorry, but like, this fall's gonna kind of suck. It's gonna be pretty light. And I was like, damn. Like we've been busting our ass. Like, how's it gonna be light? Yeah. Like, we, we just got off tour, we gotta have something
Speaker 1 00:21:55 There. There's no way.
Speaker 3 00:21:56 He's like, man, we tried. Like they just, we just can't get you any shows. And I'm like, do I suck
Speaker 1 00:22:03 <laugh>? Something not working.
Speaker 3 00:22:05 Yeah. I'm like, what am I missing? Yeah. Um, and then Cole walks in to the restaurant with his girlfriend and I'm like, well that's odd. That's Cole Swan, you know? And he is like, yo, Cole, come sit over here. And he's like, yo, do you care if I sit down here? And I was like, no. He sits down where Screech is and he is like, what you got going on in the fall? I'm like, not shit <laugh>. No, apparently nothing. Apparently we aren't doing anything. And he was like, well, why don't you just come on tour with us? And I was like, yeah, that'd be. And I was like,
Speaker 1 00:22:36 Oh,
Speaker 3 00:22:37 You motherfucker. All right. Yeah. Um, it was cool. It was funny though cuz he was like, man, I've been a fan of like, I'll keep the country. My girl loves all about it. Um, and he was like, I just kept seeing you pop up, you know, whether it's TikTok or Instagram. And like, I kept having this like pool. And then he said the final thing was he was in Sacramento, I think, where we had just played with Dylan and there was this kid there at this private show with the Dylan Marlow shirt on that I had signed. And he was like, dude, I just could not get away from like your name. He was like, so let's just go on tour together. I was like, hell
Speaker 1 00:23:11 Yeah. That's fucking awesome,
Speaker 3 00:23:12 Dude. He, he is honestly the one of the coolest guys too. Just, I've been blessed. Like, we were like, I don't know if another tour will ever beat the Dylan Scott tour, but its like coolest Cole and them are, dude, I feel like it's gonna be pretty damn close.
Speaker 1 00:23:25 They're not the same. Yeah. And it's bigger, bigger rooms.
Speaker 3 00:23:27 It's definitely bigger rooms. Yeah. It's just like I, IM, I know a couple of Cole's guys, like Joel and them. They're all super cool. Like just, I don't know, everybody's been so cool to, to us so far. Nobody's really been dicks other than the freaking production manager at Saddlebags <laugh>. He watches this podcast. I do not like him <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:23:48 I told him to care what happened. Dude. Or that parking ticket guy. <laugh>. You got, you got, y'all got a parking ticket.
Speaker 3 00:23:55 Okay. So Oh, that's
Speaker 1 00:23:56 So funny. With the one in the short
Speaker 3 00:23:57 Bus. Yeah. Oh no, he's a, first of all, this guy was an ass to Screech when he was advancing. And I was like, all right, well, you know, maybe not that I doubted the Screech. I was just like, all right, well Screech says you was an as. You're dramatic sometimes that's fair. You're he's overly dramatic. Sometimes I'm not overly dramatic, I'm just dramatic. Sometimes.
Speaker 1 00:24:13 Must be a tour manager thing. Yeah, <laugh>. And so guilt, guilty, kill.
Speaker 3 00:24:17 So, you know, I was like, all right, well I'm gonna call Screech is asleep. And we got there at four and I was like, gonna call this guy named Brad. I don't know his last name. And uh, so I call him, I'm like, Hey man, Dylan Marlow here. He is like, Hey. I was like, just check in. That sound check's still at five cuz we needed to run a guitar center, but if it was still at five then we weren't gonna do it. Yeah. I was like, just making sure we're good for five. He's like five o'clock. I was like, all right, cool. My bad. You know, just making sure. And he is like, five o'clock, dude. I was like, we'll be there. And we had had Chambers, Tyler Chambers with us. Yeah. And evidently Saddlebacks doesn't allow acoustic openers, which is bull, you know, that
Speaker 1 00:24:57 Is, it's
Speaker 3 00:24:57 A dance hall. And so I was like, all right, well who do I need to talk to about Chambers opening? Cuz he is been with us all weekend. He is my boy. Like, he's great. I want him
Speaker 1 00:25:06 To open. He he's opening the show. Yeah, he's
Speaker 3 00:25:08 Playing for my people. Yeah. And it's part of our show. And uh, he was like, Laura, and I was like, all right, sweet. Can you give me Laura's number? I don't, my TMS asleep. I'm just trying to get some info. He's like, no, I can't give you Laura's number. I'm not giving out any personal information. That's not my job. <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:25:24 The general manager of the bar? No,
Speaker 3 00:25:25 No, no, no, no. The general manager, Brad, the owner. There's two Brads the owner, Brad is great, but the production manager Brad is an asshole. A
Speaker 1 00:25:34 Tale of two Brads.
Speaker 3 00:25:35 And so, um, and Laura was great too. And, and, but the production manager did, I don't even, like, I don't even care if he watches this, this is how much of an asshole he was. But, um, I was like, I kind of laughed a little bit. Not like Adam, but kind of like, this is ridiculous. You can't give me your phone number. Like I'm playing there. Yeah. Like, I'm gonna make you money tonight. I need you to give me her contact. So I was like, huh. All right. Whatever man. Like he was like, there's nothing funny about this shit. The only thing funny about this is that your agent didn't give you the right info. And I'm like, are you serious right now? <laugh>, like my agent gave me all the information I need. Like Laura wasn't on there. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1 00:26:11 There, there's always someone you have to talk to that isn't on the, the advance show. Advance on
Speaker 3 00:26:17 The advancement sheet for, and that's just part of it. And that, and Screech had her number, but I didn't wanna wake him up. He had drove all night. Yeah. And so that's
Speaker 1 00:26:22 A good artist right there. Not wasn letting the, letting the t get
Speaker 3 00:26:25 Some sleep after driving. Yeah. I grabbed this MacBook, I don't mind doing that at all. At all. And so, and he was like, the only thing funny about this is that yada yada yada. My whole band heard it and it was on speakerphone. I was like, well this is not gonna be
Speaker 1 00:26:37 Good. Start to a great night, <laugh>. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:26:40 Luckily he wasn't our sound guy.
Speaker 1 00:26:42 Yeah. How how'd the show go though? It went great. Oh, it was a great show. I could imagine, um, Savannah showing out for you guys. Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:26:47 For sure. It definitely turned cuz before when they were playing music in the house and stuff like that, everybody's line dancing. Cause that's just what kind of bar it is. Yeah. But you know, once like the lights went down and like our intros started playing, it was like three quarters of the bar stopped dancing and kinda like pushed to the front of the stage. And there was still like a little bit in the back that still wanting to dance, but like majority of the bar like pushed up from the show.
Speaker 1 00:27:11 Yeah. We, we've run into that before. Especially we go out to Texas like every couple months. Yeah. And it's, it's odd. Like our guys get weird about playing some rooms in, in Texas, Oklahoma, those areas because it's like you're used to the crowd being up front, like it being more like a rock show, like the Blue Room or Yeah. Right. Like literally any other show in what we do. But you go to some of these other places and they're, they just dance in circles, which I mean is a sign of respect I guess if they're not dancing it means they don't like your music, but True, true. Which, which, which I've, which, and like you, you run across all kinds of different places. The dance hall places are interesting. And then do you guys, you said you did St. St. Simon Simon.
Speaker 3 00:27:47 Yeah, we did Ziggy's. There's, I guess it's a different Ziggy's.
Speaker 2 00:27:50 Ziggy Ma Ma Mahoney's or something. Mahoneys, yeah, whatever.
Speaker 3 00:27:53 That was our first like headline and ticketed show. And I think we did, like at the end of the night we did like, which there was I think four or 500 people, but we did about 200 pre-sale, which was
Speaker 1 00:28:03 Cool dude. That's great. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:28:05 Hell yeah. So it was more
Speaker 1 00:28:06 Than that was your first ticketed like headlining show? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 00:28:09 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:28:09 It's crazy. You're probably excited to do more of those after all these openings. Yeah. Slots housing. That's gonna make your life
Speaker 3 00:28:14 A lot easier too. Oh, crazy. Even though there was only 200 people in there that knew our stuff, it was like the energy was unmatched. Yeah. Like I, I went and jumped on a table, I think.
Speaker 2 00:28:25 Yeah. It was like a red dirt road. He got into the top back. He's like, I might do some crazy shit. And I'm sitting here holding his, I'm holding his guitar ready to do the guitar swap on the next song. Yeah. And <laugh>, he just comes running by me on the side of stage. I'm just like, what the fuck is he about to do now <laugh>. And like, I turn, like, I turn, I I, I like set his guitar down, like they can see what he's about to do to make sure he is good. Make sure I don't have to scissor kick someone. And so I turned around finally and I see him and his joker's up on top of like a five foot table and he is just like screaming red dirt road at top of his lungs. I'm like, I love it, dude.
Speaker 3 00:28:58 Like it's a different animal for sure. Yeah. Whenever it's me on stage versus me right now.
Speaker 1 00:29:04 Yeah. Oh yeah. It's a different animal. I've, I've seen, I've seen it before. Like I, because when I first met you, you were like, I was like, okay, this is, this is Lee's buddy, he's a quiet, quiet dude writes some songs. How'd you play the round? Like day one, like one of our, you were one of the first guys that played our writers round, which thank you for that. And it's cool to see you growing as, growing as we're growing with the podcast in the round. But there is something, there's, there's a lot of guys and girls that when they're on stage or when they're in show mode that are just, it's a different Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:29:31 Different animal. Speaking of like starting off like in the Round Poca podcast or whatever, I remember listening to the first podcast you had di on like, what, three years ago at least? Was
Speaker 1 00:29:42 That was that was BC That was before Covid
Speaker 2 00:29:44 Bc Yeah, I was still living <laugh>. I was still living in Georgia and like obviously, uh, he was like, you gotta listen to this. Like you get thrown up in it. And so I listened to it or whatever and like, as y'all are talking or whatever, talking about me, how I still lived in Georgia, but still trying to do the TM thing. Uh, he was like, you told a couple stories of Matt and was, he was like screech. He was like, I love that name. I can't wait to meet that kid. Like here we are now and now we're
Speaker 1 00:30:10 Buddies. Yeah. Which, when did that name, when did you be, when did you go from Tyler to Screech?
Speaker 2 00:30:14 Oh God. I was in the sixth. I was in the sixth grade. I believe I was, I was, so I used to shoot, um, like shotgun for like my county, um, back in Georgia. That's the most redneck thing you probably heard on this
Speaker 1 00:30:27 <laugh>. I, I mean it's, it's pretty, I mean I've learned we've had quite a few guests that have shot shotgun or rifle for their county or their school or
Speaker 2 00:30:34 Yeah, that's their school. I was that kid. I was that kid. But anyway, we were at practice one day, uh, trying to like nationals was coming up so it was like everybody's taking it serious. We're shooting literally cases of rounds a day. Like
Speaker 1 00:30:46 Back when am back when ammo was, was
Speaker 2 00:30:48 Not the price of is now have to buy a box of shells for $5, but it's be so cheap, dude. But, uh, anyway, this dude was watching us practice and it was my turn to shoot and he was like, you know who you look like. And like we all like stopped turned around and looked and was like, who's he talking about? And he's like pointed at me. He was like, you look like screech off saved by the belt. And like, everybody paused for a minute. I guess they had to like put a picture in their mind and then like, look at me and like, we almost had to quit practice because everybody could not keep their posure. And so that was just one of them things where it just stuck like glue. I couldn't get away from it. Like it's on my class ring. It was on my shooting pouch. Like it, it was on everything. So
Speaker 1 00:31:28 Much so that when you guys met, you introduced yourself. Yeah. I'm
Speaker 2 00:31:31 Sc Screech. That's, that's, I mean, hell
Speaker 3 00:31:33 Half the people don't even know what
Speaker 2 00:31:34 Your real name is. Uhuh. They don't, it's like my little brother calls me Screech. It's just like Gary,
Speaker 3 00:31:39 Gary from Musk and I called him
Speaker 2 00:31:41 Skeeter one time. Skeeter, no, Gary could not get my name right. It was Skeeter for like the first year I lived here. Skeeter, I was like Gary Screech. Like come on Skeeter. I, I mean I ain't a bass boat. <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:31:54 Yeah. That's that's funny man. Um, for you guys being on the road too, what are some, you guys, I'm sure you've encountered Bucky's, I'm sure you've in all kinds of different spots. Talk about the bus real quick cuz you're the
Speaker 2 00:32:05 Post v
Speaker 1 00:32:05 The post v
Speaker 2 00:32:06 Betty Watt or the Vos or the port,
Speaker 1 00:32:09 The vo whatever, whatever you call it. You gotta, so I'm guessing was that you that found that, was that you that found that or it's
Speaker 2 00:32:16 The step-dad? So yeah, my stepdad is in the military and there's this thing down on down in Georgia, uh, hunter Armor airfield. They call it the lemon lot. It's where you, like, if you're getting shipped off or you're getting moved to another base and it's like you got 30 days to get the heck out and get to the other base, you gotta do something with your boat, camper truck.
Speaker 1 00:32:35 Oh, so it's just like an auction where
Speaker 2 00:32:37 Yeah. And like you get, you find some hellacious deals. Yeah. And so he was riding by the lemon lot one day and it was like, hmm. It was a little bus and it was like he whipped in and looked at it and from the outside he said it looked good. It had a duramax on the side. It was like, well we know it's a good truck.
Speaker 3 00:32:53 Yeah. And then, uh, then we found out it only had 28,000 miles. Yeah. <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:32:58 Wow. The best his whole life. It lived on camp or on base driving kids back and forth. So it never got over 35 mile an hour and never was abused. Only thing it hit was a speed bump. And that was,
Speaker 3 00:33:11 We've hit a couple things. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:33:12 God
Speaker 3 00:33:13 <laugh>,
Speaker 2 00:33:14 But, uh,
Speaker 3 00:33:15 Whew. Yeah. Yeah. And then the guy was asking like 30 grand and I was like, yo, I can give you 20. And he was like, take it.
Speaker 2 00:33:22 I thought it was like 26, it
Speaker 3 00:33:23 Was like 24, I think
Speaker 2 00:33:24 26, 24.
Speaker 3 00:33:25 Something. Like it was something, it was way, it was steel, it was way lower. No argument. Nothing. And the
Speaker 2 00:33:30 Lbz duramax, how does
Speaker 1 00:33:31 It dude pulling trailer? Like what did Max out at?
Speaker 2 00:33:33 Like, it ain't even back there. When we went out west and we was going through Wyoming. Wyoming or Montana, one of 'em, and the speed limit went up to 80 mile an hour.
Speaker 3 00:33:43 We
Speaker 2 00:33:43 Were cruising. I mean I was, there was some points I was hitting about 86 in that thing. Oh wow. Like we were skimped back. So
Speaker 1 00:33:49 It moves faster than a, than a than a passenger van pulling a trailer. Oh
Speaker 3 00:33:53 Dude. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's way more durable too. Like especially the Sprinter vans, if you get stuck and wherever Wyoming, you're not
Speaker 2 00:34:01 Gonna find
Speaker 3 00:34:01 A Mercedes Park.
Speaker 2 00:34:02 No,
Speaker 3 00:34:04 But dude, we have gone from,
Speaker 2 00:34:07 I mean we started
Speaker 3 00:34:08 South Carolina all the way to California,
Speaker 2 00:34:11 Boston, Massachusetts to the top, like right below Canada, all the way to the bottom of California.
Speaker 3 00:34:16 And the only thing I've changed is tires. A fuel filter and the oil. Yeah, that's, that's
Speaker 1 00:34:21 It. Not bad at all. And you guys got bunks on that thing, I'm
Speaker 2 00:34:23 Assuming We, we got six bunks and two couches and a flat screen TV <laugh>. Right. So
Speaker 1 00:34:28 What, which, which bunks do you guys ride in?
Speaker 2 00:34:31 So are you a top two? I was the one that built the bunks the originally. Okay. So I put three on one side and two on the other mine. And Dills was on the left hand side of the bus. The band was on the other side. Well we just got a new content guy Powers. And so he was sleeping on one of the couches up front and it just, you know, when you're riding down the interstate and still, you know, it just wasn't uncomfortable
Speaker 1 00:34:53 Or, or or if you're wanting to sleep and the guys are wanting to hang, like it just makes it easier to
Speaker 2 00:34:57 Have a bump. But there's walls in it and everything. And
Speaker 3 00:34:59 It's like one thing too, if you're just on the road for like a weekend. But he was, I mean he's been, he came out the last Dylan Scott run and he hasn't not come out since.
Speaker 2 00:35:08 Yeah. Like he quit his job in Georgia, he's moved like, yo, let's
Speaker 3 00:35:12 Go. And so, uh, we built him a bunk, uh, like last week probably. Yeah. And, uh, yeah, it's been great. I mean it's a little bumpy.
Speaker 1 00:35:23 <laugh> what's, what's in the Dylan Marlowe bus stock? What do you guys stuck the bus with? Cause it was, do you guys have a refrigerator on there?
Speaker 3 00:35:28 No, we don't have a fridge. We have a cooler. We
Speaker 2 00:35:30 Have a cooler. I know exactly where this
Speaker 3 00:35:31 Is going.
Speaker 2 00:35:32 So we have
Speaker 3 00:35:32 About 10 bottles of Jim Beam <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:35:35 We make's
Speaker 3 00:35:36 Mark Baker's Mark. We get one every night. You
Speaker 1 00:35:37 Guys lo Oh, so that's on your rider? Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:35:39 Okay. And um, I just added a coffee machine, <laugh>. And
Speaker 1 00:35:43 So like, like a ground
Speaker 3 00:35:45 Bean coffee machine? No Cur cure. I got one cup curate. Okay. And so you put the water in and it gives you, but we've made it a <laugh>. We've made it a
Speaker 2 00:35:55 Point. This is a Dave thing though. Our guitar
Speaker 3 00:35:56 Lady, we've made a point now where you can't get back in the bus if you go into a gas station without creamer from the thing. So now it'll be a competition to see who can bring the most. We probably have a hundred coffee creamers
Speaker 2 00:36:08 In the bottom drawer
Speaker 3 00:36:10 Now. Yeah, we have that. Um,
Speaker 1 00:36:12 What do you guys snack on?
Speaker 3 00:36:14 We don't have the best snacks. Well
Speaker 2 00:36:16 We did until we built Powers Bunk. Like the first start of the tour, we had like a buffet of snacks up under like mine and Dylan's bunk.
Speaker 1 00:36:24 Like, like what, what are we, what are we snacking? Like Oreos.
Speaker 3 00:36:26 Like what? We like beef jerk chips.
Speaker 2 00:36:27 Peanut m and m's are my favorite. I have, that's mine too. I bought the massive ju
Speaker 1 00:36:31 I buy buy the big one. I sit up in the driver's seat of doing that ripping Marlboro Lights and eat Peanut M&M's
Speaker 3 00:36:36 Street has his own cabinet that nobody really knew about for like halfway through the tour.
Speaker 1 00:36:40 He's not a lock on it. No. You gotta put a lock on it
Speaker 3 00:36:42 So it's like above his seat. And when you open it, there's like a million gummies in there.
Speaker 2 00:36:47 Watermelon, red Bulls, everything.
Speaker 3 00:36:50 But I'm about to buy like a mini Blackstone grill and I'm gonna start cooking on the road too.
Speaker 1 00:36:55 That's what our guys recently started doing. Mac?
Speaker 3 00:36:58 Yeah. How do y'all like that?
Speaker 4 00:36:59 Dude, it's, it's the best thing ever. We were at, uh, what was that, uh, Mike Round show? Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:37:04 And uh, you you we had
Speaker 4 00:37:05 A Oklahoma little Tark little tark hole grill. Yeah. Like we buy 20 bucks for it and quickly decided that wasn't the move. So we were like, they gave us, uh, for that particular day, I can't say the amount, but they gave us more than our normal buyout. Yeah. Yeah. So we took that money and went and bought Yeah. Put it together. Propane grill. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:37:25 See that's the thing, like there's so many nights where we'll, I mean we sleep in it. Yeah. And so like, which there's a be the best thing about sleeping in that thing is if you have a hotel and it's like you gotta make it to the next town by two to get any sleep, then you gotta be out by 11. Like we can drive if Screech wants to drive. I mean we all pretty much drive screech. I'd say you drive like 70%. Yeah, probably. And we probably split
Speaker 1 00:37:49 It's good TM numbers. You get your, you get your, we split,
Speaker 3 00:37:52 You get your numbers sometimes more than 70, but on average, probably 70. Me and John, our new bass player drive Jeff drives when he needs to. And we don't allow David to drive.
Speaker 2 00:38:01 No.
Speaker 1 00:38:02 We, we don't let Trey Bonner drive. Yeah. For us. So Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:38:05 We don't allow Medland to drive. Um, one time we were coming back from Atlanta, uh, through Chattanooga and I've never prayed so much in my life. <laugh> night the tachometer was maxed out,
Speaker 2 00:38:18 Bouncing off and
Speaker 3 00:38:18 Then we're going downhill. Oh no.
Speaker 1 00:38:20 Through, through.

What's really good about Billy Bob's, they give you a discount on the store. So you get all this cool Billy Bob's merch. Oh, oh really? Yeah. They give you meal tickets. And it's one of those places you'll see when you, when you park the bus back there, you'll park, you'll pull the bus in and then it's just all cattle and like cattle rings. It's like literally like a stockyard. So when you're eating ribs, you're eating brisket and all that. It's literally coming from the livestock that they have on site's. It's the best barbecue dude. I can't wait. That you will have And yeah, I think it was, I forget if it was Boudreaux or Lee or somebody Snuck snuck me an extra meal ticket. <laugh>. It was those two meals were, were excellent. Thank you. Hell yeah. So yeah, you'll, you'll like Billy Bob's Texas is fun man. It's just, it's a different kind of scene. But if you're going out there with Cole, they're gonna be about that. You know, it's different when you go out there and headline cuz it's the Nashville, Texas, it's a little different. You know, you have so many different styles of music out there.
Speaker 3 00:39:49 Yeah. I'm, I'm excited for that. That's been on my bucket list for a while and I know we're playing the rhyming too.
Speaker 1 00:39:54 Yeah, dude. Which, congrats on that.
Speaker 3 00:39:56 I can't wait to play
Speaker 1 00:39:57 That. I saw, I saw you reposted it. Some girl put up going to see Dylan Marlowe at the Rhyming, which that's gotta make you feel good that it's, that there's people that your fans are that into it where they're like, they're buying tickets to go see. And and you're that's one of the Cole shows I'm guessing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they're buying tickets to a, to a Cole Swindell show, but they're like, we're going to see Dylan Marlow against Cole and Ashley and that old, old tour.
Speaker 3 00:40:17 They're awesome. Thousand percent. I'm sure they, I'm sure Ashley has fans that are just like, oh yeah, like Screw Dylan. Screw Cole. We're coming to see you. Like I think everybody has those. But yeah, it is really cool to have those few that are like, Hey, we're just coming to see you Regar. I mean, you know, it's, it's sick. Um, yeah, I'm, I'm excited dude. I'm blessed. Like, I don't know dude. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 00:40:38 It's been, it's been a wild ride for the last couple years. Yeah. I remember when you were, when you, when you moved up here, was it was, were you really trying to do the artist thing early on or were you trying to do more of the writing and get your reps? Or what was kind of that,
Speaker 3 00:40:49 Um,
Speaker 1 00:40:49 Process moving up here? Cause I know you had songs out and obviously we've had, we've had Noah Hicks on this show too and talking about Yeah, yeah. Back in the day when you guys went with raised on the radio Yeah. And, and all of that stuff. Yeah. But now to see you doing the, the artist thing in full force cause you've been putting out songs for a while. Yeah. You've been putting out shit before you moved here, right?
Speaker 3 00:41:07 Yeah, I've always been, I'm more of a perfectionist when it comes. So I, I haven't put out as many as I should have probably. I've had tons of songs mastered that I just haven't put out like that Love You anymore song. Yeah. Um, I should have put that out at the time. But it's like now I have way better songs. Um, but yeah, I mean, when I moved to town I wanted to, I moved here to be an artist. Um, I never wanted to be a songwriter, so it pissed me off when people were like, here's Dylan Marley's a great songwriter. I'm like, screw that dude. Like, that's not why I moved here. And, and I've always said too, if I had to, if somebody was like, you can't, um,
Speaker 2 00:41:45 Be an artist. You
Speaker 3 00:41:45 Can't be an artist, but you can stay here and write songs, I would be out.
Speaker 1 00:41:49 You'd go back to Georgia and just do
Speaker 3 00:41:51 Something, work for my dad or do something. But yeah. An artist is what I wanna do. I don't want to be
Speaker 2 00:41:57 A songwriter. A songwriter, but
Speaker 3 00:41:58 Getting, yeah. And I, I love writing songs
Speaker 1 00:42:00 Yeah. And writing songs that you get to put out or that your, your friends at one point were put like have put out like cuz that obviously the, that that John party cut with you and Joe changes. Oh yeah. Changes a lot. I'm sure you've already started to see some of the ripples of that
Speaker 3 00:42:15 For sure. Like I love it. You know, it's, it's helped. That's helped my career getting to play that song on the road and Yeah. Still just, I love songwriting. I love writing songs for me, and I love, I've never gone into a room though and been like, I'm gonna write for Soandso. It's always for me. And if it just works better for somebody, it's like the John Party song. Yeah. Then it's cool, but I've never gone in and gone, well hey, it says Jake Owen's looking for a song. Let me write for Jake Owen. Yeah. Becauses. Like,
Speaker 1 00:42:44 And there's guys and girls that are great at doing that. Sure. And love doing that. Now there's, and that's what they're here
Speaker 3 00:42:48 To do. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just for me as like a personal goal, like I don't want to be just a songwriter. Yeah. Like if I'm not out there playing and like trying to build a fan base and, and hearing people sing back to me, it's not worth it. Yeah. There's just me though. Yeah, no, absolutely. There's nothing wrong with anything else.
Speaker 1 00:43:05 Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:43:06 But yeah.
Speaker 1 00:43:08 Yeah. So you, so you got Texas coming up Yeah. Where you said any other spots that you haven't been to that you guys are, that you have kind of circled on the
Speaker 2 00:43:15 Calendar? We covered so many damn states on that Dylan Scott tour. It's like, we gotta see so many things. It's like bucket list checkoffs that like, we gotta see more in two and a half months than most we'll ever see in their lives. Its like, for sure I gotta see Mount, or we gotta see Mount Rush North.
Speaker 1 00:43:30 Mount Rushmore's. Cool. Dude. Mount
Speaker 2 00:43:31 Rushmore's pretty dope. Yeah. It was so cool. We went out to San Diego and one of our good buddies lives out there now, and that we grew up with back in Georgia. And we gotta fly in his plane. And he actually let me, I remember before that he let me drive it or
Speaker 1 00:43:42 Fly it. Were you, were you having some, uh, anxiety with Screech driving that point?
Speaker 2 00:43:46 No, I was having anxiety. He like, he was like grabbed the handles. I was like, why? He was like, just grab 'em. So I like grabbed 'em, whatever. And he was like, he flipped something and he was like, all right, you're on your own. I said, huh? He was like, plane's in your hands. I said, that's when I saw like shake sweating and shit. <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:44:02 Top gunning it real
Speaker 2 00:44:02 Quick. And then I figured out how sensitive them things were and then I kinda like looked back at Dylan and Dylan was over recording. He was like, we're gonna die. There's gonna be a video of it.
Speaker 1 00:44:11 Was San Diego a House of Blue show? Or was that uh, house of Blues? Yeah. I was just, I've been out there for Moonshine Beach and Moonshine. What? California likes their country music. And they really,
Speaker 2 00:44:20 That
Speaker 1 00:44:21 Really surprised
Speaker 3 00:44:21 Me. They don't get it as much. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:44:23 That's how I, that's the same thing with me as a New Yorker. We used to, I used to go to maybe like 50 to 60 shows a year. I'd have to drive for 'em. Yeah. But I'd go to 'em like the
Speaker 2 00:44:31 Upstate and That's a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:44:32 Yeah. And the New York crowd, I mean, that was when I was doing radio and stuff, you know. Oh yeah. I wasn't, I wasn't paying all them. I mean, I was for a lot of them. Yeah. But I mean, I was getting to go on a lot of those radio tour shows too. Mm-hmm. Which were a lot of fun. What'd you guys think of New York? Did you have to drive through the city in the bus?
Speaker 2 00:44:45 Dude? No,
Speaker 3 00:44:46 We drove
Speaker 2 00:44:47 Around it. You drove around? No, we did. So I missed, uh, I think it's Manhattan is when you, when you're driving out of the city and you, and like the statue of Liberties to your right. Is that Manhattan? That's,
Speaker 1 00:45:00 That's, that's Manhattan's to the right. That's coming over from Jersey. So the Statue of Liberty, as much as, I hate to say it is a New Yorker, it's technically in New Jersey. Okay. Waters okay. But yeah, so that's I 95. And then you got like the city on the right and the Statue of Liberty.
Speaker 2 00:45:13 Yeah. So whatever was to the right, like the big bay and I was the turnpike. Yeah. It was just so chaotic. But I missed that morning traffic by like 15 minutes. Oh, I,
Speaker 1 00:45:23 I saved you like two hours,
Speaker 2 00:45:24 Dude. I like, I could tell like as I was coming up on that big airport to the right or whatever, at getting out of the city LaGuardia. Yeah. Yeah. I, I was, I noticed traffic getting heavier and heavier and I like looked behind me. It was just like, sh nothing but stop guard.
Speaker 1 00:45:38 Did you have fun with all those tolls?
Speaker 2 00:45:40 Oh, I,
Speaker 3 00:45:41 Oh,
Speaker 2 00:45:42 I remember
Speaker 3 00:45:43 <laugh> one time. I was like half asleep whenever I try to like stay on the couch if somebody's driving late and Screech is like, uh, we pulled up and I'd overheard and the lady was like, um,
Speaker 2 00:45:54 Yeah, it was like, it was like, oh. She goes, she like 58
Speaker 3 00:45:57 Or it was like 80, right? Something.
Speaker 2 00:45:58 Oh yeah. It might have been, it's like 85.
Speaker 3 00:46:00 Screech is like,
Speaker 2 00:46:01 Like since I was like, I got your dollar bill right here. She
Speaker 3 00:46:05 Was like, no. Uh, dollars turned around. And
Speaker 2 00:46:09 I was like, I looked at Dylan. I was like, fuck. So
Speaker 3 00:46:11 What did she just say? Fuck? Did she just say she say $85?
Speaker 2 00:46:15 Yeah. I like was shaking handed her a hundred dollars bill. Yeah,
Speaker 3 00:46:18 We like ripped out the
Speaker 1 00:46:20 Open, opened up the mech, but that's what I used to do.
Speaker 2 00:46:22 Chop me and Lee used Box. I can't money right up front. You have to.
Speaker 1 00:46:25 Yeah. That's why we have those things. Like you see 'em in Florida, those sun passes or Yep. We have Easy Pass or Peach Pass in Georgia. Right. We have um, we have Easy Pass and that thing, it just loads up 50 bucks every time you hit, every time you go through. Which with cars it's cheaper, but when you're driving a bus in a trailer, all them axles gets expensive. Did you guys get good pizza when you were up there?
Speaker 2 00:46:44 We stopped at two pizza places and got pizza. But I think the best pizza we had on the road wasn't even from new. No offense wasn't even from New York. It was, it was up north, but it wasn't,
Speaker 1 00:46:54 Was it like Boston or like, uh, Connecticut. Cause Connecticut's
Speaker 2 00:46:58 Got good shit too. I remember Huntington, like when we played the Paramount, I had pizza at some point then and it was good. But we were with Dylan Scott somewhere and they was like, this place is like known for its pizza.
Speaker 3 00:47:10 Also, Dylan Scott threw a lot of the pizza into the green room, like sliced by slice.
Speaker 2 00:47:15 Oh yeah. Like my printer. Like, but while we would be like breaking down and stuff, they'd be in our green room destroying it. Like there was times that Oh,
Speaker 1 00:47:21 They would fuck
Speaker 2 00:47:21 With you. I would like, I would get ready to go put my printer up and shit and there'd be like, pizza on it
Speaker 3 00:47:25 In where the paper goes. <laugh>. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:47:27 And I'm like, motherfucker.
Speaker 3 00:47:30 Yeah. The pranks on that tour were wild. Did
Speaker 2 00:47:32 You guys get them with any, the end of tour prank? Oh yeah. Was I think we got them better than they got us. I don't know. But they, I think they just screwed you while you're on stage. But we had fun with them while they were playing. Well
Speaker 3 00:47:43 The last show of the tour was like the least energy from the crowd. Cause it was a casino. Where
Speaker 2 00:47:49 Was it? New York <laugh>.
Speaker 3 00:47:50 Uh, New York, right?
Speaker 2 00:47:51 Was it? Yeah, Waterloo, New York. Oh, upstate. Yeah. Yeah, upstate. And
Speaker 3 00:47:54 Dude, like, and I didn't know this, but evidently they give a lot of tickets to like people just to get 'em in the casino. Yeah. So I'm sure some of that was that, which he, I think he almost sold it out to.
Speaker 2 00:48:03 Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:48:04 Or maybe he did. I don't remember. But, um, the crowd was not too entertained like by us or, or
Speaker 2 00:48:10 Whatever. It was really weird.
Speaker 3 00:48:12 So to make it worse, it's the last night of the tour. I mean, we were hyped up. Yeah. We had a lot of energy. And uh, so there's a video of us right before we go on stage and they had tapped into our ear rack with a air horn unit,
Speaker 2 00:48:26 Like, like an app on the phone.
Speaker 3 00:48:28 And so I was about to go out and our intros go and we have a really cool intro and it, you just hear like, and I looked at Screech and Screech looks at me and he is like, what was that? I was like,
Speaker 2 00:48:41 No. And I quote, what the fuck was that <laugh>? Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:48:43 Yeah. And I was like, I don't know Bud. He was like, oh God. We go on stage and there's air horns just randomly during our set.
Speaker 2 00:48:54 I look over and Derek Kline and Jason was, well Derek is their drummer and Jason's their monitoring guy or whatever. And they're just over there like, and then the whole entire crew like Dylan Scott and everybody's behind them and they're just giggling like little school kids. And he was like, and they're like, Dylan. I mean like
Speaker 3 00:49:14 All about it. The last songs I'm all about it. It's like this cool thing. And then it's like,
Speaker 2 00:49:20 Like through the whole
Speaker 3 00:49:21 Entire house. And like the fans are like, what are these dudes doing? Oh, so
Speaker 2 00:49:25 It's Oh, so it's going over the house. Oh no, it's
Speaker 3 00:49:27 In the house.
Speaker 2 00:49:28 People like the fans. Fans are like, what the fuck is this? What is this? Like remix <laugh>.
Speaker 3 00:49:33 And then, um, also, uh, they're merch guy, Jason
Speaker 2 00:49:39 <laugh>.
Speaker 3 00:49:39 I still got videos. We didn't have a bass player on that tour. We had bass in the tracks and Jason came out with an unplugged bass. He's like this ripped guy and he's just running around
Speaker 2 00:49:47 The stage. He's their merch guy,
Speaker 3 00:49:48 Just dying. It's hilarious dude. And then, um, I like, there was some point in the sa oh was somebody like you and I would kind of sit down wherever I'm at on the stage and like sing to the crowd right on the front row. And Dylan came up with all black, with holes punched in water bottles and just squirted them all in my face. Yeah. Like, yeah. I, I couldn't catch This was all the last, this was all the last show. Last show. I mean they have 30 minutes. They did all this. So what'd you guys do back to 'em? So we got, we went and bought lawn chairs. We should have got them. Which I guess the first
Speaker 2 00:50:19 Prank prank, looking back on it now,
Speaker 3 00:50:21 The first prank we got lawn chairs and floats and a cooler of beer. And during beer buddies, we all walked on stage and
Speaker 2 00:50:27 We just started cracking beers. Started like throwing the pool thing.
Speaker 3 00:50:30 So it was like less harmful. But then towards the end of the night, I mean it was the last night I tour, so me and Dave were kind of buzzed and so we found a whole roll of gaff tape and went and there was a balcony like 80 feet above them. And me and Dave just started chunking balls of gaff tape. I mean there was probably
Speaker 2 00:50:46 200, 300 roll a gaff tape out if you were in the crowd looking onto the stage. It looks like little black dots are everywhere on the
Speaker 3 00:50:52 Stage. And I mean we were smoking rock gaff, I mean, but the whole tour, we randomly got stuff thrown at us coffee cups. Oh,
Speaker 2 00:50:59 What about the bus? When we walked out the last night, we showed,
Speaker 3 00:51:02 Oh, and then they drew penises, <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:51:07 They put like, they put like Dave's number on the back like hall for a good time.
Speaker 1 00:51:12 Did anybody call him?
Speaker 2 00:51:13 I don't, I don't think so. Actually,
Speaker 1 00:51:14 Actually at, or get text. When
Speaker 3 00:51:15 Y'all left the Ohio gig, somebody called Dave. Remember the sold out show? Yeah. When
Speaker 2 00:51:20 I went to their airport. But there it was, there was not a single inch of window that was not drawn on. Oh no. It was like,
Speaker 1 00:51:26 So they took time and effort.
Speaker 2 00:51:27 Oh yeah. They drew like how like the driver's seat or whatever. Dylan Scott drew me like on the side. Like I was driving it had like my mullet like flowing in the window or something. <laugh>, we got that picture. I got the picture. That's funny As
Speaker 3 00:51:41 Though,
Speaker 1 00:51:42 So, so Cole Swindell better look out.
Speaker 3 00:51:45 We got some tricks up. We got
Speaker 2 00:51:46 Some tricks. Depends on how bad they get us throughout the tour is how bad the end of the tour prank is. Cuz I mean we're getting, we're kinda getting smarter with stuff is
Speaker 1 00:51:54 Yeah. Well Dylan's Scott taught you very well. You That's true. You learn from one of
Speaker 2 00:51:58 Best. And plus, I mean, looking back on it now, hell even Langer Langston and JD Groover, I mean they, JD would if like, if we left a suitcase in a room or something, like we'd get it back in 15 trash bags with a whole roll of duct tape over it and stuff. Like it's just, yeah, like we've been around pranks basically since we started. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:52:16 You were talking about how like John Langs was one of the first shows you remember watching as a kid in Statesboro and JD obviously like a well-known guy is a TM in the community and and another Georgia guy. Have those guys or like just other acts that have been kind of an influence on both of you guys for what you do? For
Speaker 2 00:52:31 Sure. Me like for sure JD is taught me a very big like, portion of what I know as a tm. Like a lot of it I had to learn on my own. That's
Speaker 1 00:52:40 Most
Speaker 2 00:52:41 Of it. Yeah. I kinda get thrown to the wolves, but like hell, even Robbie Dylan's tm, like I've learned from him on that tour. But like JD was like my start like tm, first TM I ever spoke to. He, he was like, you know, gave me great pointers and throughout our career that we opened up for him, you know, these, every show I learned something new. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>.
Speaker 1 00:53:02 Yeah. It's, it's important to have people to learn from. Cuz I got, I've, I've definitely been thrown to the wolves as well and we see all kinds of wild shit on, on tour with Trey. Yeah. You see and now, and now being out, now being out with Uncle Bob Kid Rock, you see all kinds of shit too. Oh,
Speaker 2 00:53:16 I bet that is
Speaker 1 00:53:17 Wild dude. Seeing how, seeing how, seeing how that, how how all that stuff works and you never see the same thing twice. There's always something that, that happened.
Speaker 2 00:53:23 Does kid rock show like wild? Like does he act a fool?
Speaker 1 00:53:27 It's a lot of explosions. <laugh>. Um, it's a lot, it's a lot of pyro. I'd say there's probably like four or five wardrobe changes Good. For the Nashville show and the Louisville show. We had the dancers, like you had the poles up on the drum riser
Speaker 2 00:53:39 Dancers. No way.
Speaker 1 00:53:40 Yeah. For only those two shows though. Most of 'em, it's virtual dancers on the screens. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> and it's just the crowds. You never, you see all, all kinds of stuff. Right. It's depending on your political leanings. It's a very fun show. Right. You know, you hear and see a lot of shit. He's a, he's a proud, proud Patriot Uncle Bob is. Yeah. Oh yeah. For sure. But it's a, it's a good time. Now some Nashville questions for you. What's your favorite bar in Nashville that you like going to? You guys aren't Broadway guys anymore, are you?
Speaker 2 00:54:04 That
Speaker 1 00:54:04 Was don't I don't think you ever Well
Speaker 2 00:54:06 That, that, that got burned out the first three months and that was only cuz I worked at Play It again when the office was on fifth. Yeah. And so it was like it was go

Wildest
Speaker 1 00:55:32 Thing you guys have seen at the Blue Room.

Speaker 1 00:55:36 Wildest thing.
Speaker 2 00:55:38 I mean other than like
Speaker 1 00:55:39 <laugh>. Cause I'm very familiar like Wildes, I've seen, I've seen all kinds of wild shit. I've only been there, I think I've been there four or five times and I've had a great time every time. Dude, I
Speaker 3 00:55:46 Don't even know
Speaker 2 00:55:47 To be honest. I mean that, I mean it's just a conglomerate of just shit that goes on at Blue Room from girls fighting and guys fighting and homeboy like Headbut the punching bag thing and knocking himself out. It's just like people
Speaker 1 00:56:02 Puking.
Speaker 2 00:56:03 There's so much goes I'm gonna call,
Speaker 3 00:56:04 Call David out. The funniest thing I've seen at the Blue Room, cause our guitar player David was just, I don't know what it is. Like girls just flock to him. They like him a lot. That
Speaker 1 00:56:15 That's how we are with Sweet Boys. Sweet Boys does very well with the
Speaker 3 00:56:17 Ladies for us. And Dave is on the stage. We're un we're packing up and there's these two girls that had guys with 'em and they just dipped. There were two guys and they both walked over and started kissing David on the cheek. And I was like, no shit. Like he, I don't know, it was crazy home. Like they just looked at David and left just like that. Walked over to David. Like
Speaker 2 00:56:40 Homeboy had two girls. Like, like he was a baller or something then Did
Speaker 1 00:56:44 He, did he get him, did he get him back at the green room?
Speaker 3 00:56:46 No, no, he just,
Speaker 2 00:56:48 Well
Speaker 3 00:56:48 He doesn't, no, I thought he's, he's not really like that. He's just like, he, he just, it was just funny. They just left, came to him and then left. That's it.
Speaker 1 00:56:58 It was just the peck on the cheek. Yeah dude, he just phone num phone numbers as they do in blue, as they do in states spirit Snapchat. Sure. Snapchat's a big thing at the blue room dude. I'm sure. Can I get your number? No, but you can have my Snapchat. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:57:07 <laugh>.
Speaker 2 00:57:08 Yeah
Speaker 3 00:57:08 Dude, the amount of people on the road that ask Guilty for my Snapchat is stupid. Like
Speaker 1 00:57:14 You give it out. No, I mean it is a way to promote stuff, but, but then you gotta watch what you put on there.
Speaker 2 00:57:19 Didn't really use Snapchat for
Speaker 3 00:57:21 Promotions. No, no. I mean
Speaker 2 00:57:22 Like when we first started out we did, but
Speaker 3 00:57:24 Like I Snapchat our group chat, my mom and that and that's it.
Speaker 2 00:57:29 Yeah,
Speaker 3 00:57:30 I mean that's it. That's, I hate Snapchat. It's
Speaker 1 00:57:33 Not, not your,
Speaker 3 00:57:34 I just have it for that group chat. That's literally the only reason I have it. And to send pictures.
Speaker 2 00:57:37 You're entertainment.
Speaker 3 00:57:38 Pictures of my dog.
Speaker 1 00:57:39 Pictures of your dog.
Speaker 2 00:57:40 Yeah, it's called career injury. I mean you can imagine what goes on in that thing. That's my career starter. <laugh> what, what's the quote? Go, uh, public. Any publicity is good or something
Speaker 3 00:57:55 Else. No such thing as bad.
Speaker 2 00:57:56 Yeah, there it's, we have a song called Dick Down in Dallas, so we can do whatever we want.
Speaker 1 00:58:01 <laugh>. Oh sweet.
Speaker 2 00:58:01 That's fair point.
Speaker 1 00:58:02 Yeah, yeah it does does get a little wild. You uh, the TikTok thing, what's that been like for you? Because that's a whole nother cuz you were doing this before, like you were kind, you we were all, we were all playing kickball together during Covid. Yeah. And running around and watching guys slide and dive and this, that and the other thing. And then this TikTok thing kind of really started taking off the middle of that 2020 like the summer of Covid in the right, in the covid times the hard times. Yeah. And it's done some good things for you.
Speaker 3 00:58:30 Definitely. Yeah. Um, it's a cool app. There's a lot that you can benefit from it. It's annoying as hell though,
Speaker 1 00:58:37 Like feeling the need to have to post stuff.
Speaker 3 00:58:39 Yeah. But I mean, it's really self-help. It's beneficial.
Speaker 1 00:58:42 Um, does it make, do you feel pressure when you put a song up there if it does well to put it out? No,
Speaker 3 00:58:47 I mean, I'm the kind of guy where if I think a song is good, I'm gonna put it out regardless. Because like, for for instance on when I look back, I posted that and it had like 30,000 views and it was, it was like, I love this song regardless. And then I post the same song but just showing somebody in my truck and it gets like 3 million. So it's like in my head, like people on TikTok are just dumb, <laugh>
Speaker 1 00:59:12 Stupid. They're just scrolling through their, they're stupid. They're just scrolling through their phones when they're taking a shit or whatever. They're
Speaker 3 00:59:17 Just, yeah, they're, they're stupid. I mean, I don't know if I should say that or not, but <laugh>, it's just, its the generation now that is just really pleased by like, quick stuff. Yeah. And, and in my opinion things that just, I don't know, very
Speaker 1 00:59:32 Short attention
Speaker 3 00:59:32 Span. So, so then it's like how do you judge a song right by 30,000 views or 3 million? And the difference was just showing you the song or giving you a story to see the song. It's like the song's still great. Yeah. Even if you only got 30,000 views and I never did that, I would've still put the song out. Um, I'm just a strong believer in the song songs are are, you can have everything. You can look good and you can sing good and you can have a great show, but the songs aren't there dude. It's gotta be the songs.
Speaker 1 01:00:02 Yeah, it's true. That's, that's definitely some truth. Where's your favorite place to eat at In Nashville.

She like made the hats before I asked her to and then sent 'em before we even paid her. And then was like, you're trying to steal from me. I'm like, you sent 'em to us.
Speaker 2 01:06:16 Like so
Speaker 3 01:06:17 We gotta find somebody else. If anybody is watching this and wants to wait, we

Speaker 2 01:06:23 Cause we need to get bfe bat rolling.
Speaker 1 01:06:25 Yeah. We could definitely help you guys with that. Um, where're the better Deer in Tennessee or Georgia?
Speaker 2 01:06:29 Tennessee. Tennessee.
Speaker 3 01:06:30 Tennessee. Thousand percent
Speaker 2 01:06:30 Dude. 100%.
Speaker 1 01:06:32 Are they just bigger here?
Speaker 3 01:06:33 Way bigger. There's more of 'em because in Georgia, a bunch
Speaker 2 01:06:36 Of rednecks say, I think it's harder to hunt deer in Tennessee than it is in Georgia because Georgia you can put corn out legally. But the Yeah. The deer just are, there's so much land here and there's so much these deer in Tennessee have to do more of than in Georgia's. Like Georgia's flat. I mean, craziest obstacle a Georgia deer has to go through is a swamp. Yeah. You know what I mean? That's it.
Speaker 3 01:06:59 Plus like, people down there shoot everything that walks
Speaker 2 01:07:02 Everything I'm talking about. If it's like that, oh, wall mount baby. It's like, nah,
Speaker 3 01:07:06 It's impossible to man. But up here, dude, there's so many big deer.
Speaker 2 01:07:10 Yeah,
Speaker 1 01:07:10 For sure. Do. Do you, do you guys try and hunt when you're on the road at all? Yeah,
Speaker 3 01:07:14 We actually did. We, um,
Speaker 2 01:07:15 Best hunt I've ever been a part of
Speaker 3 01:07:17 Was, yeah. One of top three for sure. We went to, we did Montana, Utah and where else was it?
Speaker 2 01:07:23 Uh, Nevada. Uh, Idaho.
Speaker 3 01:07:25 Idaho. And so we had that. And then we had five days until we had to be in Cali. So we stayed out there and I did some cold calls on my hunt nap and got some, I got this nice lady with like 800 acres and she
Speaker 2 01:07:40 Was wonderful. Well it was like, now they're like our Wyoming grandparents. Yeah.
Speaker 1 01:07:44 We time you in the I call hit them up.
Speaker 3 01:07:45 Seriously. I'm like, hey, I'm, I'm playing, uh, looking for some Turkey spots and, and I had to be in this one zone for the, the season to open. And so I called this lady and and she's like, yeah, y'all come on. We get there at four or 5:00 AM she's like, come in the house. We got breakfast and coffee and stuff. Like, we
Speaker 2 01:08:00 Were like, you're very trusting. <laugh>.
Speaker 3 01:08:02 Yeah. Never met us before. And, and, um, didn't kill anything the first day and second day she kept,
Speaker 2 01:08:07 Kept and we hung hard God
Speaker 3 01:08:08 On. She was like, why don't we go check up on the ridge and we're all at the kitchen table. Like, yeah.
Speaker 2 01:08:13 And her husband was like, nah, it's like there's,
Speaker 3 01:08:16 And she was like, let's just go check on the ridge like three times. And we're like, all right, we'll go check the damn ridge. And we checked the ridge and there was like 20 turkeys up there.
Speaker 2 01:08:24 <laugh>. Well there was, there was a bunch still on the ground or whatever, but
Speaker 3 01:08:27 They were on the ground. Yeah. We watched 'em fly into the tree and so we're like next to morning.
Speaker 2 01:08:30 Well we counted out at least like eight gobblers that were shootable turkeys. Yeah. So we were like, oh my gosh. But it was on
Speaker 3 01:08:38 Another
Speaker 2 01:08:38 Property and they're from California so you can imagine probably that it would've been a shit storm if we were tried to shoot
Speaker 3 01:08:45 Over there. Yeah. The other people's property was from California. Yeah. And, but we had five acres that we could stay on that was it the top of this plateau across the road. So we got there the next morning and just called 'em across the road as soon as they got across the road. I mean, we smoked them.
Speaker 2 01:08:59 It was like both pulling the trigger birds, birds fold. It was like, then we had like the beautiful Wyoming like sunrise over there. Yellow
Speaker 1 01:09:06 Stone shit. Yeah, yeah. Like,
Speaker 2 01:09:08 Like antelope and cows like in the background. It was like damn
Speaker 1 01:09:11 As you're bringing your birds back. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome.
Speaker 2 01:09:13 Was one one of the moments me and Dale sat down on a rock and looked over this like he was saying this massive plateau that dropped down. Sure. I have a
Speaker 3 01:09:19 Picture of it
Speaker 2 01:09:20 Somewhere. Yeah. It's on my Instagram. But I, it was like the most beautiful hunt I've ever been a part of. And
Speaker 1 01:09:25 To, to go from where, where you're used to hunting in the southeast. Yeah. To Georgia. Just open land like that. It's for sure. It's one of the cool parts about getting to see the country. What's something you would tell your younger self? Like tell what was something you would tell? Oh geez, that is, yeah. That's beautiful. Yeah, it's crazy. Fucking gorgeous. Um, what's something you would tell yourself? Um, now being here for a couple years, seeing like moving up here and being Dylan's tour manager but not really doing a whole lot of shows like
Speaker 2 01:09:51 Younger Self is in like what age? Like tr like high school. Trying to think about
Speaker 1 01:09:56 20, 20, 22 years old. You getting ready to move up here. 22, 23, 20. Whenever it was you got up here. Well
Speaker 2 01:10:01 By then I had already been in the mindset of this is what I want to do and I'm going to bust my balls to get it done. Whatever it takes.
Speaker 1 01:10:10 But what was, so what's something you wish you knew then that you know now?
Speaker 2 01:10:14 How? Oh God.
Speaker 2 01:10:18 What I was getting myself into <laugh> like, and that comes with saying that outta love but like I didn't realize that I was gonna love what I do so much, but how much, how hard it was gonna be to learn. Cuz I don't give 99%. Like I try and give a hundred percent. Everybody makes mistakes. Some shows like sometimes I shit the bed on a show and I don't do something or whatever. But I think younger me was just so anxious to get to Nashville and like be a part of the scene cuz like music was what I wanted to do and I didn't give a shit what it was. But then it turned into more of a love for TM and then anything cuz I tried, I like I did the play it again thing. I loved it but like I wanted to see the country and stuff. So something that I would tell my younger self is just like, be patient. Like stay humble but be patient. Like your time is coming if you put in the work just, it's very just take a, take a breath kid. Yeah. You'll be all right.
Speaker 1 01:11:17 Hell yeah. What about you Dale?
Speaker 3 01:11:19 Dude, it's funny cuz I wrote a song today called If You Could See You Now it's like to my younger self I
Speaker 2 01:11:25 That
Speaker 3 01:11:26 Yeah, it's just like, I don't know. Um, definitely like God's time's the best time if I had to say anything. I mean, like I said earlier, it's, it's a, it's a lot of like in the moment you're like holy crap. But when it's gone what's gonna happen? You just kinda gotta trust him in the process he has like for you. Cuz I wouldn't have expected to hop off Dylan and then go hop on with Cole and then I'm sure there's gonna be something after that. So been trying to be less like worrying and stressing about stuff and more just like putting it in his hands cuz it's crazy what happens. I mean just put your head down too, like a lot of, I feel like a lot of people compare their selves, especially at this point and with all the stuff going on. And so once I've stopped like comparing myself to other people and putting out the music I wanna put out and writing the music I wanna write, it's just been like a freaking a runway. Yeah.
Speaker 1 01:12:16 You gotta put the blinders on and focus on being the best.
Speaker 3 01:12:18 It's like a, it's a cliche thing but it's a real thing when you stop worrying about um, what everybody else is doing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 01:12:24 Be the best Dylan Marlowe that you can be. Exactly.
Speaker 3 01:12:27 Should be you. Like wake up and try to beat myself. Yeah. And not try to beat anybody else.
Speaker 1 01:12:32 Absolutely. Who's got the better golf game between you two?
Speaker 2 01:12:34 Well it started out me because I was I, okay, easy Tiger <laugh>, he
Speaker 6 01:12:39 So confident that put his legs up and tossed
Speaker 2 01:12:42 On
Speaker 3 01:12:42 Is like, dude you
Speaker 2 01:12:44 Should, I started out like playing golf here and like di didn't even own clubs. I don't even think Yeah,
Speaker 3 01:12:49 I started playing like two years ago.
Speaker 2 01:12:50 Yeah. And so we've
Speaker 1 01:12:51 We've played before. Yeah.
Speaker 3 01:12:52 You should play with me now. Yeah,
Speaker 2 01:12:53 We've played before.
Speaker 1 01:12:54 Yeah. Oh yeah, I've played with you too. Yeah. All of us.
Speaker 2 01:12:56 And Di was like, man that just, that that just does not seem like a sport I want to get into. And was like, dude just come play. It's like you get to hit the piss out of a ball and you try like, it's just fun.
Speaker 1 01:13:07 Drink beer and smoke a cigar and have fun with your friends.
Speaker 2 01:13:09 And then cuz like I used for some reason I feel like I've gotten better but I've, my scores went up higher. <laugh>, I don't know how that works. Like I
Speaker 1 01:13:18 Did. You love it so much, you want to hit the ball as many times as you can. You're playing
Speaker 2 01:13:22 Opposite. But now Dale's got like spent the time and like got good clubs and like he's, he's like he's worked his ass off blaming
Speaker 1 01:13:28 It on the clubs. That's
Speaker 3 01:13:29 What he said. No, no
Speaker 2 01:13:30 He is, he is the better golfer. But that's gonna change when I get fitted for some clubs. Nah, his ass is grass <laugh>
Speaker 3 01:13:37 Dude. I don't know what I just learned how to like compress the ball ever since I like did that and it was like a two month swing change. Very annoying. You can't really hit good for two months and then after that it's like my pitching wedge is like my one 50 now and like my and like up. It's crazy but it's so enjoyable. Yeah.
Speaker 1 01:13:55 Where's your favorite course to go to? Around here?
