Here's episode 1 0 1 with our friends, Ella Langley and Kayleigh Robard. This is the, in the round you guys been doing. Y'all been fucking busy, huh? Speaker 2 00:01:52 Very busy. <laugh> gone. We're never here. Yeah, Speaker 1 00:01:56 Never here. You're touring, you're like touring, touring to where you're gone for weeks at a time and shit. Speaker 2 00:02:00 Yeah. This, these past couple months have been, I mean we've been, we did two weeks and then we were home for a week and then we did two weeks and then, um, turned right around and left two days later. And I've been doing weekend warrior stuff, but it's like three in a row. So we have to leave Wednesday usually. Speaker 1 00:02:17 Yeah. And they're, and the places are not usually super close to each other. No. So it's a lot of drive time. Speaker 2 00:02:21 It's a lot of driving. And we're back in the van. We did the sprinter for the, when we were out consecutively for two Speaker 1 00:02:27 Weeks. What did you, what'd you think of the coffin? Bunks Speaker 2 00:02:29 Hated them. I, I mean, I can sleep anywhere. It's truly a talent of mine. She's Speaker 3 00:02:34 Narcoleptic, I'm pretty sure, honestly, Speaker 2 00:02:36 I can sleep anywhere at any time. But those bunks, Speaker 1 00:02:39 You gotta like cross your arms. Like you gotta scrunch, you can be a ball because if you're a ball, you're too high or well, Speaker 3 00:02:45 Well I make up sore cuz I'd like literally be like holding my body so tight. Just trying not to fall out of the bunk. Speaker 2 00:02:52 Yeah. Well the, the bunks are curved like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 1 00:02:56 Over the top. Yeah, Speaker 2 00:02:57 Over the top. Yeah. And obviously we're at the top bunks because, I don't know, I should feel like I should pick whatever bunk I want I'm paying Speaker 1 00:03:04 For. It usually goes whatever bunk you, whatever bunk the artist wants and then it just kind of fluctuates for the, I'm usually top bunk or I'm in the bandwagon. I'm in the front bunk, like, can I mm-hmm. <affirmative>, I'm not even, it gives me my separation from the, from Trey and the heathens. You Speaker 2 00:03:18 Know, I remember that time you slept in the front bunk and there wasn't any air conditioning and you, that happened the cup and you were just covered and sweat and pissed off. Speaker 1 00:03:26 I was like, I lost five pounds last night. Oh, did you go for a run? No, I went to sleep. Yeah. <laugh> when that ac unit stops working the Speaker 2 00:03:34 No, the Sprinter was cool. It was just like very narrow. I, the reason the sprinter was weird was because we only have showers in green rooms. Yeah. And all these showers were like the communal, like Speaker 3 00:03:49 Hockey arena, prison Speaker 2 00:03:51 Showers. Yeah. Speaker 3 00:03:52 So we take them in our bathing suits. Like we literally Speaker 2 00:03:54 Put on our bath bathing suits. There's no, so there's no door. So if you, you have someone has to go in there and pee, I'm in my swimsuit taking a shower. <laugh>, you know, <laugh> like, and so the sprinter like, you just feel gross for a lot of days. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:04:08 That's what, that's what, see I kind of feel like that's more in the bandwagon than I do in the van when we're at say Speaker 2 00:04:13 Cause when we're in, cause hotels, yeah. Speaker 1 00:04:15 We're in the vans. You got the hotels. You have you showered outta a Love's before though. Speaker 2 00:04:19 We almost did that on the way home from this past weekend. Um, but no Loves Speaker 1 00:04:25 Is good. And then a good cheat code, planet Fitness, if you guys had a membership. Speaker 2 00:04:29 We Speaker 1 00:04:29 Have. Yeah. Cause those are, those are good showers as Speaker 2 00:04:31 Well. We have to go to Planet Fitness because we don't have to, but our band is pretty adamant about going there. Really? It's a priority every day. Really? Oh yeah. Like if we mess up their time to go to the gym, Speaker 3 00:04:42 Like if sound check interferes with our arrival time and their gym time, it's bad news. Speaker 2 00:04:46 They're Speaker 1 00:04:47 Really upset. So is it gym before sound check and loading or is it gym after sound check and loading Before Doors. Before. Speaker 2 00:04:52 Before sound check. Really. Speaker 1 00:04:53 So they want first thing in the morning. Speaker 2 00:04:55 Yeah. That, that I will say that was nice about the Sprinter is we, um, we kind of had, we gotta have a routine out there where we'd get to the venue. We'd were there at like nine in the morning. Nine 10. Yeah. And then we up go to the gym, get a little, get a little workout in. Nice. Come back and eat some catering. Speaker 1 00:05:13 Yeah. What city had the best catering that you can remember? Speaker 3 00:05:19 We had a really good one recently. What was it? Speaker 2 00:05:22 Oh, I, Speaker 1 00:05:23 Because you've been out with different crews, you've been out on, on theater shows, you've been out at festivals, you've been out at arenas. Literally. Yeah. Anything and everything guys covered have done in the last couple months. Speaker 3 00:05:32 We've covered every venue type. Like this whole year Speaker 2 00:05:34 We've done I think pretty much everything but stadium this year. Speaker 3 00:05:38 This year. Speaker 1 00:05:39 Yeah. You've done like, we've done, you've done like dive bars and shit too. Like you've literally done, Speaker 2 00:05:42 We've done club arenas, um, amphitheaters theaters, festival stages. Um, I don't think there's any more besides stadiums, right? Speaker 1 00:05:53 Yeah, I would think so. Speaker 2 00:05:54 Except for like, maybe Speaker 1 00:05:56 So funny thinking back too, the first time we had you on to where, how we're recording this podcast now mm-hmm. <affirmative> and how much things have changed for everyone involved. Like episode 57 in my old basement and that like dark dungeon studio thing. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> that we have, which shout out to Shawn and uh, our friends at the Hillson studio. We were grateful for the opportunity for me to live there and record the podcast there. It was awesome. You were a great landlord. But like, just to like, back then we were, we had just met each other. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, Mitch, Mitch Wallace came Speaker 2 00:06:27 With you. That was the first time you met Mitch. Right? That was Speaker 1 00:06:29 The first time I met Mitch Wallace cuz he never came out to kickball, which I didn't realize until recently. I just kind of always assumed that he was there. No, but then I'm like, Mitch isn't running around playing kickball. I love Mitch, but he's not run. No, he wasn't out there. Blood, sweat, beers playing kickball blood with everybody. Blood, sweat and beers. That's awesome. Pretty much so, yeah. Yeah. I was, I mean those kickball days were a lot of fun. But it's, ive met you and, and Trey and Maxwell and like that whole crew. I really got to know you guys through kickball. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And then I was like, fuck it, let's do a podcast. And you had a song coming out back then, was that?

Half a guy I would like to see. Yes. After four or five, maybe Speaker 1 00:07:12 Six, maybe six beaters. I do remember that. That was a writer's round hit. Yeah. Like that was the one where everybody, everybody was singing that shit. I know. Why didn't you put it out? What happened?

I've seen Crew and Sam like, I remember them at that old house. Speaker 2 00:10:55 I mean, it's scary if, if Trey would chase me around the house with that thing. Freak cow too. I'm scared he does.

Speaker 2 00:17:04 You never know. Speaker 3 00:17:05 Merch is always a Russian roulette of who you're gonna talk to. Speaker 1 00:17:08 Yeah. Especially, I mean with, with our show and I started selling merch with, my first gig was with, with with Musket on. Yeah. And that crew was that that crowd is middle aged women. That's who I used to talk to on the radio, you know, and you just make girls, you just make guys feel bad when they're there with their girlfriends. You look at 'em and go, is she really your porch swing angel? And then they buy everything. Everything. Like, baby, I love you, you are my porch swing angel. And then they buy everything. That's fair. That's how you trick 'em. Speaker 2 00:17:33 That's how you trick 'em. That's how you Speaker 1 00:17:34 Trick 'em. You make, you make, you make the guys feel like shit in front of their girlfriends. Cause Yeah, almost. You have to fines almost, almost every guy that is at a Musk and on bloodline show is there're with their girlfriend. Yeah. Or Gora on a date with a girl they're trying to impress or their wife or whatever. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So what have the crowds have you seen? Like, you've seen a lot of different crowds. Yeah. Like as far of a spectrum within country, music, music, Speaker 2 00:17:53 It's been all over the place Speaker 1 00:17:54 As you can possibly get mm-hmm. From last year when you were out with, with Trey, with us to being out with co being out with Jamie to being out with fucking Gary, Randy Allen, Randy Houser, Speaker 2 00:18:06 Like you seen like Cody Johnson. Yeah, Speaker 1 00:18:07 Yeah. Carl Joe, you've and around the country. Speaker 2 00:18:10 Oh yeah. I uh, how many states have we been to this year? 37. 37. 37. Speaker 1 00:18:16 More than more than like 90% of people. Yeah. 95% of people go to their entire life. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:18:21 Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah, it's just been, it's, it's this year I, the way I describe this year is this year I learned how to entertain those different kinds of crowds. How to work those different kinds of stages because it's all different. You work a, you work, um, an arena stage so much different to a club, you know? Yeah. Um, so, and also seeing all those headliners, how they do it. So it's so Speaker 1 00:18:48 Interesting. Yeah. Some, some of 'em are flying around, some of 'em are very much stationary. They're about the music and let the music speak for itself. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, it's like there's no wrong or right way to do it. And the crowd responses, Speaker 2 00:18:58 There's definitely a wrong way to do it. Well Speaker 1 00:18:59 What I'm saying is like the different, the different methods of doing it. Yeah. Like, like I would imagine the CO is flying around more than Jamie Johnson is. Speaker 2 00:19:07 Yeah. Speaker 1 00:19:08 Yes. That's what I'm saying. Like, you have guys that are playing to the same size crowds mm-hmm. <affirmative>, but one is very stationary with his guitar and the other guy is flying around. Everything's blowing up around him. Speaker 2 00:19:19 Yeah. Fire pyro everywhere. Speaker 1 00:19:21 Yeah. We have, we have our first, uh, co wetzel shows coming up. Speaker 2 00:19:24 I know. We just played the venue. One of the venues that y'all are playing, y'all are playing Speaker 1 00:19:27 Which one? Salem Speaker 2 00:19:29 Civic Speaker 1 00:19:29 Center. Oh, sale. Virginia. Virginia. Virginia. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:19:30 Hell yeah. Yeah. The poster was up there. Speaker 1 00:19:32 Yeah. It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be a Speaker 2 00:19:34 Time. Yeah. Whenever I saw them, they were all here last week and I said, um, my roommates I think doing some shows with y'all in the next month and they're like, hell yeah. I said, I think his band might be, they can hang, they can hang, they're gonna be able to hang. Speaker 1 00:19:51 Yeah. I'm thinking. And and some of our guys have had, um, red Door Post Writers Round Ex, um, experiences with Speaker 2 00:19:58 Yeah. I can't wait. Speaker 1 00:19:58 Co and his, his band of, band of wild dudes. So, and we did, um, Colby Cooper's on those shows too. Oh, that's so much fun. Yeah. Um, me and Matt helped out Wales with his, with Colby's last video. Okay. That was in they shot here in Nashville. That yeah. That, uh, we're on fire, I think it's called mm-hmm. <affirmative> or Fire or whatever. So I got to know Colby and his guys very well and they're just as rowdy as go. Yeah. And his guys Yeah. Who are just as rowdy as Trey and our guys. So you're gonna put it all together and, uh, kind Speaker 2 00:20:29 Of wanna go. It's Speaker 1 00:20:30 Gonna be a fun time. Kinda Speaker 2 00:20:31 Wanna, we're talking about it, Speaker 1 00:20:32 It's gonna be absurd. And we have, um, in between those two shows we're in, uh, Savannah, we're in Savannah, Georgia playing a headlining show, which Savannah, south Georgia gets down. We haven't been down there in a long time. Get down to get down to go see our friends in Statesboro. It's gonna be a wild, uh, wild time. So for you two coming outta the southeast, so like the southeast is like the mecca of country music. Like the, the crowds just appreciate it more. Whether you're playing at a bar, you're playing at a fucking restaurant, whatever, like you guys just have more music, I think especially country music than I would have in New York or someone in like California's gonna have or someone we're you're just exposed to. We're not saying there's not country fans up there. Yeah. But what was it like going to these different crowds? Like what's, what was it like playing a show in Massachusetts? What was it like playing a show in New York compared to Yeah, you're used to your, your roots are, are Montgomery, Alabama, Auburn, Alabama, some of the rowdiest like best country music crowds in the country. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> are what you're coming up with. And then you're going out to all these different places. Yeah. What was your, one of your favorites or one that surprised you? Speaker 2 00:21:36 The, where did we play in Chicago? Speaker 3 00:21:38 We played Joe's. There's two Speaker 2 00:21:40 Joe's. Speaker 1 00:21:41 You guys did Joe's Live Probably big one. Yeah. We did Joe's Speaker 3 00:21:43 Live, not Joe's on Weed. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:21:45 I'm pretty sure. I think, um, it surprises me how many people listen to country all over the place. Yeah. Because I mean, growing up in the South, like, I kind of just always thought people only in the South listen to country music mm-hmm. <affirmative>, I, and then obviously I got older and figured out. No. Yeah. This year. I mean, I just learned a lot that people give a shit about it everywhere Speaker 1 00:22:07 In Chicago especially Speaker 2 00:22:08 There are rednecks everywhere. I'll tell you what, being at the merch, dude, my God. Oh my God. She's some, some stuff like, you know, when you're, you have that moment like, is this shit happening? Is this real life? Speaker 3 00:22:21 That's how merch feels. Speaker 2 00:22:22 Did I just watch that happen? Like for instance, uh, one time we were at merch and this guy was like, can I get a picture with you? And me and Kaylee usually we had a, during we were on the Randy tour, we'd, ID get off stage, I'd run back to the green room, wipe some sweat off, run to merch, and we'd sell merch in between our set and Randy's. Yeah. And that's when we would sell the most mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And uh, so it was like Randy was just getting on and like, there was not a whole bunch of people out there, but a couple people. And this guy was like, can I have a picture? And I said, yeah. And I go out to take a picture with him and he said, watch this. And swoops his arms under my legs and picked her up, picked me up and I said, put me down, Speaker 3 00:23:06 <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:23:08 Put me down. And I said, get his ass outta here. Yeah. He did buy eight T-shirts though, so that was cool. Speaker 3 00:23:14 You get when he, he Speaker 2 00:23:16 Find his eight t-shirts, um, there's a homeless woman outside, I'm gonna give 'em to her as a pillow. And I was like, you did. Okay. He did, Speaker 3 00:23:22 He did do Speaker 2 00:23:22 That. I don't care what you do with them, but thank you for buying them. Speaker 1 00:23:26 Where, where was that? Speaker 3 00:23:27 That was in, Speaker 2 00:23:28 That was when we were on the West Coast Speaker 3 00:23:30 Anaheim house Blue. Speaker 2 00:23:31 Yeah. Speaker 1 00:23:31 In California. Rednecks Speaker 3 00:23:33 California rednecks. Speaker 1 00:23:34 They're wild out there too. T Trey's experiencing that this weekend. He's doing the, he's flying out for those kid rock shows in California. Mm-hmm. Just him and Alex going, but the, the California crowd, like, I feel like the northern crowds and the western crowds have like a chip on their shoulder and they get extra. And I can say that cuz I was a part of that crowd. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, like we would do things to be like extra in a way to be, to make folks that would come up from the south. Like, like if I went to a, you go to a Brantley Gilbert concert in New York, you're gonna see more, more like rebel flags and just like big trucks and like crazy shit. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> in the New York show than you will at the Georgia show. Yeah. Just because they're putting on to be like, Hey, we're country up here. What we know you think about country. I don't, they think about the city, but Speaker 2 00:24:18 It's Yeah, they're, there's, yeah. It's just they're characters. Speaker 1 00:24:22 Oh, there's lots of characters. Speaker 2 00:24:24 Very many. Like the we were the other night, the other night, this guy bought a T-shirt and took his shirt off that he was wearing, Speaker 3 00:24:31 Almost got kicked outta the menu. Almost got Speaker 2 00:24:33 Kicked outta the, Speaker 3 00:24:33 Was just standing there. And he has like this big ass like American flag, Eagle cross tattoo, like Speaker 1 00:24:39 Screaming Eagle. Speaker 3 00:24:40 Screaming Eagle. Yeah. And he's just standing there like talking with his shirt off. Yeah. Like, hasn't put the shirt he bought on yet. Speaker 2 00:24:46 I was like, dude, I don't know what you think this is doing. Speaker 1 00:24:49 This is, yeah. He was trying. Speaker 3 00:24:50 Oh, he was on a mission for sure. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:24:51 He was on a mission. But, uh, yeah, it's just like what Speaker 3 00:24:55 Merch is just crazy place to be. Speaker 2 00:24:57 It's a crazy place to be. Speaker 1 00:25:00 Yeah. It it is. It is. Um, I can only imagine how wild it is. And now you two being out there as, as young single ladies, what the, what the fuck are the dms like these days? Because I know this isn't DM Monday. Sorry, Trey. For, for stealing your concepts, taking the DM Monday concept here on the, in the round. But like what, like, because you guys are, you're obviously promoting mm-hmm. <affirmative> your social media mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So you're saying, Hey everybody if you want, like, follow me on, so on whatever. Like, and you're telling people that at the, so people are, you're probably getting a lot of followers per show if I would imagine, right? Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, right. And like TikTok follow whatever. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. How crazy are, are some of the, some of the guys, I guess girdles too. Just people in those, it's that curiosity. Cause I've seen Treys and those are fucking nuts. Speaker 2 00:25:43 Well I think Speaker 1 00:25:44 Treys are, and it's different as a male and a female. It's different as a male and a female. All I'm saying just people shooting their shot. Oh yeah. Because like people shoot their shot on Treys and that's like something. But being a young female, it's a whole different can of worms of the bullshit you gotta deal with right now. Speaker 2 00:25:59 I think girls are way less shy about it than guys are really Oh yeah. I think, I mean, definitely do get some Oh yeah. I mean, yeah, for sure. But <laugh>, I just think Speaker 1 00:26:09 I What's the, what's the, what's the best one? What's the worst one that you can remember? Speaker 2 00:26:13 Oh, I don't know. There's Speaker 1 00:26:14 Gotta be one that was like, there's gotta be one where like, that was pretty slick, dude. Speaker 2 00:26:18 I don't know. We can have to Speaker 3 00:26:20 Back a lot of random ones that are like, what are y'all doing after the show? And it's like, oh, it's that kind of stuff. You get weirder ones than I do for sure. Speaker 2 00:26:26 Yeah. Speaker 3 00:26:27 But I got one a few weeks ago and it was literally some guy and he was like, you're really getting your cardio in, running around, taking all those pictures. I was like, why were you paying that much attention to me? She's on stage. Speaker 1 00:26:38 What? But was that during the show that you got? Oh, for sure. That you, you got that message during the show? Yeah. My favorite Speaker 2 00:26:43 Are the ones, um, my favorite are not even the dms. Watch Speaker 3 00:26:46 The show dude. Pay attention. Speaker 2 00:26:48 Not even the dms. It's the when they hold their Snapchat up Yeah. And they like write something on it. Yeah. It's like sometimes like you just can't help but laugh, you know? Speaker 1 00:26:57 Have you had a guy like try to like get on a knee for you or something yet? Huh? Have you had a guy like fake, like fake propose, like do that at a meet and greet? Cause I've heard that happen, uh, to females in country music before? Not yet. No. Where Like, like I think it happened. I hope that Speaker 2 00:27:11 Doesn't Speaker 1 00:27:12 Happen. I think it happened to Kelsey Baller. It happened to somebody. I remember. I Speaker 2 00:27:14 Hope that Speaker 1 00:27:15 Doesn't happen to me. I remember it happened like a few years back. I don't where I doubt that where somebody showed up and was like trying to shoot their shot like that hardcore. Speaker 2 00:27:24 Yeah. I don't know Matt. I don't know if you know me, but I don't. Speaker 1 00:27:28 Well I know it won't work. I'm just saying the shit that, the shit that like the crazy drunk dudes will do. They Speaker 3 00:27:33 Do. They Speaker 1 00:27:34 At the merge table with you being out at the merch table. Most, most females don't go out to the emergency room for as long as as time as Speaker 2 00:27:40 As you guys do sometimes. Just like staying there for a long time. Speaker 3 00:27:42 Yeah. They'll just like stand like three feet away from the table Speaker 2 00:27:46 Just looking. And like recently, one of the Jamie shows that we did it was the first show the first night. And uh, this guy, me and Kayla are sitting at me and this guy just like walks up and just stands right here next to me and doesn't do anything. And I was like, what's your next move buddy?

And where's Speaker 1 00:28:26 And where's the and where and where's the, where's the band at while this is going on? Load out. Load out. Oh, they're loading out and then going to get their second workouts in and their showers Speaker 2 00:28:33 Probably. Oh, they have a routine dude. They're like a bun. I don't know how to explain them. They're, they <laugh>, they're all just like, they have such their own personalities that are so special in ways in their own special ways. Speaker 1 00:28:46 You sound like a, you sound like a cat lady. You're talking about her four cats. It really is. Speaker 2 00:28:50 They all have such personalities. This is what, but this is what they do. Like they, Speaker 1 00:28:53 Okay, so go. So go through 'em. Shut it. I'm gonna Speaker 2 00:28:55 Go through their day. Speaker 1 00:28:56 Well, well also go through, Speaker 2 00:28:57 No, go Speaker 1 00:28:57 Through each of 'em, the personalities of the guys that you have out Speaker 2 00:28:59 With you. Okay.

He's really like building it. Yeah. You know, like the state that, that he's in. It's not like he's walking into a crew where you guys have been operating like this for five to 10 years doing all this. Yeah. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So it's, it's a good spot to be where you guys are all kind of coming up through it together. Speaker 2 00:32:06 Yeah. We're still figuring it out. You know, just, Speaker 1 00:32:07 That's the best part though. For sure. Sure. Is nobody has, with the exception maybe a couple of your players that have been out in previous gigs, it's like, no, everybody's kind of starting from square one and like really invested in it together. Speaker 2 00:32:18 Well it's cool. I think, um, they just bel they believe in me so much and I know like, Hey guys, we gotta drive through the night and not take a shower. And um, I know it sucks and they're, but they'll, they'll do it. They'll just get in the van and be like, this sucks. But yeah, we'll do it. Um, Speaker 1 00:32:34 Who does a lot of the driving? So I guess Davis, we Speaker 2 00:32:36 All take turns. Davis does. And um, we all take turns doing it depends. But the sprinter, we had a driver, which was awesome. Speaker 1 00:32:43 Yeah. Driver changes everything. It does. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, you'll, you'll learn too, the, there's some wild bus drivers out there. Like personality personalities heard like Speaker 2 00:32:51 Cookie. Speaker 1 00:32:52 Well there's Cookie, there's mild Greg. There was, uh, then who was the third one? Bobby Lee. Speaker 2 00:32:58 Bobby Lee. Speaker 1 00:32:58 Bobby Lee. Yeah. He says there's three ways of doing things. Legal way. Illegal way. Bobby leeway. Oh, that's scary. And he's, Speaker 2 00:33:05 What does that mean? That's Speaker 3 00:33:06 Scary. Speaker 1 00:33:07 You do, you do what you gotta do. Yeah. Bobby Lee, he's, he's a, he's a one of a guy. He actually called me yesterday. He just called me out of the blue. Why? Speaker 2 00:33:15 Just to talk. Speaker 1 00:33:15 He said, don't start no shit. Won't be no shit. <laugh>. And I was like, what's up Bobby Lee, how you doing? Speaker 4 00:33:20 He straight, every bus driver we have for some odd reason, makes friends with Burrell and just calls Speaker 1 00:33:25 Him randomly. Well, it's part of the tour manager. Bus driver died. I Speaker 2 00:33:28 How much Cookie would fuck with Burrell? I thought that was So Speaker 4 00:33:31 He did that. Uh, well I can't say what Cookie did the other, the last time we saw him with Tracy Lawrence. But he walked on her bus <laugh> and he went straight to a person's bunk. And it was just, yeah, Speaker 1 00:33:42 He went, he went and he found Terry. He got reacquainted with Terry real quick. <laugh>, Speaker 3 00:33:47 I don't want to know, Speaker 1 00:33:48 But, but like yeah, the bus, I mean, I feel like you have to be a character to be a to, uh, though we did have Austin for one weekend. Austin was super chill. He was like 35 young dude. Good hang. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. Yeah. Chilled out. Slept during the day and then drove at night. He wasn't like up randomly. Like there's some bus drivers, you'll Yeah, middle of the show. You'll turn around and there'll be a bus driver just, just next to you. Be like, what's up man? I'd be like, motherfucker, you're supposed to be sleeping. Speaker 2 00:34:15 Dude. That was our first friend Sprinter Speaker 1 00:34:17 Driver was like, bro, we gotta drive Speaker 2 00:34:18 In front of that. Speaker 3 00:34:19 Listen to this <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:34:21 He didn't sleep. He wouldn't sleep. He like wouldn't sleep. Speaker 3 00:34:23 And then in the middle of the show I was coming, I was in the phone pit and I was coming up to Speaker 2 00:34:27 Shoot from the stage. On stage we're on Speaker 3 00:34:28 And he's on stage with his iPhone taking Speaker 2 00:34:31 Pictures on the, on on Jamie's Speaker 3 00:34:33 Drummer, on drum Speaker 2 00:34:34 On, gets up on Jamie's mizer and starts taking pictures.

But yeah, the bus drivers are like, are, um, I, I personally enjoy him. Like, I enjoy listening to the story. Cause like Bobby Lee for example, he started driving. He's from, he said he's from Auburn, but his address is in Georgia. So he is like one of those weird Oh, Speaker 2 00:35:00 Phoenix East Speaker 1 00:35:00 Alabama West. It's like Phoenix City, Georgia. Yeah, like Phoenix City. And then he like lived in Pensacola. He started driving buses in like the eighties. So like, cuz for one of his first gigs was Metallica. He drove for Metallica. Oh. For six years. He drove for like all these random, so it's like you hear the stories, but then there's other times where it's like, cuz on this thing, it was like, uh, the week that we had him was when Trey had that raids retreat thing going on. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. And so he's up in the front with um, was John Pierce, Matt McVee and, uh, Adam Craig. So they're in the front lounge before the Kid Rock shows, like trying to write songs. And Bobby Lee come on the bus and just start going all Bobby Lee. And so start talking Bobby Lee. So start talking and talking. He says good time, good tour. Bobby Lee. Um, he has all these like, crazy sayings. He loves catering. He's an animal. But I had to like, I had to, he loves catering. I, I was, he loves Speaker 2 00:35:46 Catering. He's an animal. Speaker 1 00:35:47 I was in the, I was in the back lounge like doing, doing work. I'm doing my like daily tm. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, Trey Lewis worked and I get a text from Trey, like, yo, you gotta come get Bobby Lee. We're trying to write. So I had to run up there. I had to like grab Bobby Lee, take him off the bus, pretty like go And like, I had to like occupy this, occupy him, you know. So it's like, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Mm-hmm. Speaker 2 00:37:09 <affirmative> using their console. We have our own rack and ears and everything, but they still mix it for us. <laugh>, it just hits a lot sometimes. Some days it's really good. And some days sound check lasts three and a half hours. Speaker 1 00:37:23 Yeah. Speaker 2 00:37:24 No shit. That's how long our sound check was on Speaker 1 00:37:27 Saturday. We, we've had, we've Yeah, you run, you run, you'll, you'll have those sometimes, you know. Yeah.

How many shows do you think you've done this year? Speaker 3 00:37:48 I think we're right under, uh, almost a hundred I think this year. Speaker 2 00:37:52 <laugh> it's only October. Yeah. Wait, is it Speaker 1 00:37:56 October? It's about to be October. It'll be when this episode comes out. It's last week in September. Okay. So it's pretty much October. And do you guys have a lot coming up here the next couple Speaker 2 00:38:03 Months? No, I'm about, I'm taking two months off. I have two shows we're doing, um, jab Fest with Josh Abbott. Um, Speaker 1 00:38:10 My boy Tyler Albertson's on that. I know too. You guys are gonna have a good time Speaker 2 00:38:13 Out out there. And then we have a, um, private party the day back in Nashville, but Nice. Other than that's the only two shows I have for the rest of the year because I'm gonna write record. Yeah. Get some damn music Speaker 1 00:38:25 Out your ass. Signed a fucking record deal and killed Speaker 2 00:38:28 It. Signed the deal, baby. Speaker 1 00:38:30 What's that all been like? Speaker 2 00:38:32 Insane. Speaker 1 00:38:32 It's like you're literally living your dream. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:38:35 Some days it ha doesn't register in my brain. Well it's, Speaker 1 00:38:38 Well it probably shouldn't because if you're thinking about then that's where you can get overwhelmed and get caught up in it all. Like, it's just, it probably just feels natural cuz it is natural. It's what you're supposed to Speaker 2 00:38:46 Be doing. Well, I think this year has just been like a, a big year for everything. You know, I, my first real year of touring, you know, first tour, um, Speaker 1 00:38:57 With a bunch of different people, Speaker 2 00:38:59 Bunch of different people Speaker 1 00:39:00 In long segments with each Speaker 2 00:39:01 Yeah. And um, you know, uh, signed a record deal, hired business management, did all that. It's like what I, I've done it all now, you know, ready to go. I just gotta put music out. Yeah. So it's just like, um, it's lots of changes this year. Speaker 1 00:39:18 Yeah. And you've been probably writing more than you ever have you, have you still found time to write a lot with all the touring you've done? Or is that kinda Speaker 2 00:39:24 Difficult? No, for sure. Um, I mean, I usually still try to write the days that I'm home. Um, but, uh, that's why I'm taking off all October and November pretty much to just do that. It's hard to be gone all weekend and you're exhausted or you've been gone for like two weeks and you get home and it's like that writing a song takes a lot out of your brain. Like, I'm tired after I Speaker 1 00:39:45 Do. And, and writing a song to where it's like you're at the level now where you're right. You're, you're, you're right. You have, you're not just looking to put out like your, your first song as like the kid out of Auburn. Like, like you were doing a few years ago. You're getting paid to do this now. Yeah. Like you have an audience that's like, we can't wait to hear Ella Langley's next song. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. So there's a lot more effort that goes into it, you know? Yeah. Like in your head to where it's like, it it is, it is work and like it is. It is. Yeah. It is a lot. And you're going in rooms with different people or track guys. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. I know you've got, you work with uh, will Bundy a lot now, right? Well, yeah, Speaker 2 00:40:19 He's, he's, he's producing me now. Oh shit. Mm-hmm. Speaker 1 00:40:21 <affirmative>.

Speaker 2 00:40:55 One of my favorite things, me and Trey were laughing about this one time we were having girl issues.

Yeah. Like I needed to juice Speaker 3 00:53:15 Then drink that Speaker 2 00:53:16 Much. Usually in the morning. She loves Speaker 3 00:53:17 Juice. Big juice girl. Speaker 2 00:53:18 Big juice girl. <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:53:20 You and Trey used to order from the juice place. Yeah. Remember? Speaker 2 00:53:24 I remember he said, he said, are you getting a Blamy Speaker 1 00:53:26 Lamy? Are you getting a Blamy? Lamy? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And he said, because I remember I'd have to come over in the morning to do whatever with him. We love DoorDash. And then, and then there was fucking I I've carried your guys' Uber Eats and DoorDash orders from the street to your fucking door before. Because I'll get there the same time as the delivery guy. I'll be like, I'll just break it up there. Speaker 2 00:53:44 We love it there. <laugh>, DoorDash is our favorite. Speaker 1 00:53:47 Uhhuh. It's just funny. Um, which crew? Um, partied the most? Don't you guys have been out with about five or six Speaker 2 00:53:54 Co Speaker 1 00:53:56 No, you Speaker 2 00:53:57 Never turned Randy. Randy, Speaker 1 00:53:58 I was gonna say scare me out. I was gonna say, I feel like Randy's a dark, I don't know. I remember years ago they had a, they had a thing on Bobby Bones with like, who are the, who are the country artists you'd like to have on your side for a bar fight? Yeah. And Randy Hauser was number one on the list. And this was like four or five years ago. Yeah. Yeah. So I know Randy can time. I'm saying Randy Speaker 2 00:54:16 Now. Well, I think with co like they're very open about how they are and so you kind of expect it, Speaker 3 00:54:22 But you'll end up so hungover. I mean there is literally, we had one show, I think in like Ohio and there's pictures of Ella and I the next morning, like throwing up outside of the van, like separate occasions throughout that entire day. And that was the same day our tire blew out. We on a trailer, Speaker 2 00:54:38 We used a base amp. We Speaker 3 00:54:39 Were violently hungover on the side of the road on a Sunday. And it was just the worst day we ever, Speaker 2 00:54:43 Ever had. We used a base amp to jack up the trailer cuz we didn't have a Jack. Wow. We had to take everything outta the trailer on the side of the interstate in like a hundred degree weather. Speaker 1 00:54:52 I think I remember texting you guys when this happened. Yeah. Because I remember seeing it on, on uh, on Instagram and stuff. Yeah. My first time meeting Co was, we did a post Christmas, like pre end of December thing with musket on. It was in Ardmore, Oklahoma and in Dallas. And showing Ardmore. I didn't really see, we got there a little late. Didn't really see co that much. But then we get pulled to the place in Dallas. This is December of 2019. So it was pre Covid, like just before Covid. And I remember pulling up in the sprinter and looking out the window, be like, who's this like homeless guy and like very short gym shorts and no shoes on and a, and a cigarette or a joint and a bottle of Jack Daniels. And then Charlie rolls down the window and is like, what's up Co? And I'm like, oh shit. There we go. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:55:42 <laugh>, I don't know, we just kind of fit. But Speaker 1 00:55:44 Back then it was like, I think, I think it's different now. Like back back then was when they were first they were doing, they were like selling out like clubs. Yeah. Back then. Now it's like Speaker 2 00:55:51 A whole random, well I met them when I was still gonna Auburn Speaker 1 00:55:55 When they were playing at what? Like they Speaker 2 00:55:57 Played Bourbon Street. Speaker 1 00:55:57 Oh wow. Speaker 2 00:55:58 Way back. Yeah. And that's when Dre, who's now his TM was his drummer. Speaker 1 00:56:01 Yeah. Dre was the drummer back when I saw him too. Speaker 2 00:56:03 Drummer. Yeah. And I, I met CO and then I met Dre and then Dre was like, we got tattoos on her ass and then showed me his tattoo and then I was like, cool. <laugh>. And then that's how it started. Yeah. Yeah. Now we're all best buds. Great. Speaker 1 00:56:19 Yeah. Yeah. What was the um, Jamie Johnson tour like, especially you being you guys both being from the Montgomery area, like being Alabama people, like that's gotta be really cool. That's somebody that you've probably looked up to and been listening to your whole life. Speaker 2 00:56:31 Yeah. Well it was cool how I got the tour to, um, I met him when we played the Ryman with Randy Speaker 1 00:56:40 Because him and Randy are tight. Right. Speaker 2 00:56:42 That's Buds. Um, and so he brought Jamie to come do like a cowboy with him or I can't remember what song he did. I think he did. It was like, yeah. Yeah. It was a few. But anyways, but Jamie's from Montgomery obviously. And so looked up to him for a long time and I, I get, you know, it's scary to like, you don't wanna be weird around the headline or you wanna be cool about it. Yeah. And I was like, but I'm gonna go up and shake his hand. Like I just wanna shake his hand. I went up to him, I was like, Hey Jamie, I'm Ella Langley, I just wanted to shake your hand and say you're badass. And he was like, thanks. And that was the whole conversation. And then, um, that week Randy text me and he said, can I give Jamie Johnson your number? And I said, yes you can. And uh, he texted me and he was like, do you wanna go to dinner? And I said, yeah, I do. He walked up to our house, walked in, saw my deer. He's like, that's an Alabama deer. And I was like, yeah, I know Speaker 1 00:57:32 <laugh>. That's an Alabama deer. Yeah, I know. Drove, Speaker 2 00:57:34 We went to dinner and asked me to go on tour. Speaker 1 00:57:36 How, how did he know That's an Alabama deer? I guess just, you know, because Speaker 2 00:57:40 It's fucked up looking. Speaker 1 00:57:42 He's like, that's an Alabama, did he now, did he know that you were from Yeah. The Montgomery area before that? Yeah. So you guys, Speaker 2 00:57:47 Well I told him, I think I told him that night maybe when I first met him that I was from Montgomery. So I looked up to him or whatever and just cool to meet him. Okay, cool. But then, yeah, he, yeah, that's how he asked me on tour was, uh, taking me to dinner. My one, uh, we were sitting there at dinner and this lady walks up to him. We had just sat down and this lady walks up and she's like, I'm so sorry to bother you, but my husband thinks you look exactly like Jamie Johnson. He goes, yeah, I get that a lot. And then she's like, sorry for bothering you. And then just walks off and then he, didn't he buy their dinner? Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, no, the tour was awesome because, uh, we gotta fly on his plane a lot. Which was sick. Speaker 1 00:58:26 The whole band? Speaker 2 00:58:26 No, no. Just me and Kayleigh <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:58:30 Hell yeah. Speaker 2 00:58:31 No, uh, it's just a small, tiny private plane. Yeah. But he was, he was a pilot. It's a really surreal thing to see Jamie Johnson, uh, fly. You're sitting there, you're sitting there ready to take off and you're just watching Jamie Johnson get ready to fly you around the country. <laugh> Speaker 1 00:58:49 Does he wear, does he wear like the, the headset? Oh yeah. He's serious. And like, is he like talking, he's Speaker 2 00:58:53 Got his commercial license Speaker 1 00:58:55 And is he like talking to like the, the, um, the command? Like the command strip or like whatever, like he's like Yeah, he has like Speaker 2 00:59:01 A co-pilot Speaker 1 00:59:01 And they, it's like serious. He's like saying shit and flipping the switches on. Yeah. And like, yeah, like he full on like Speaker 2 00:59:07 He's Flo he, he goes, he uses it to every show. Every show. So he fly, he, he, um, sometimes if it's close enough, he'll fly to the show, get out, do the show immediately walks off stage, gets into a car, into his car and gets to the plane and flies. Speaker 1 00:59:25 Yeah. That's what Bob does. Yeah. That's, that's what Kira Speaker 2 00:59:28 Does. I mean, walks right off stage. Yeah. And he's like, Speaker 1 00:59:31 Peace. Y'all got this. I'll see you next. See, see you tomorrow. Speaker 2 00:59:34 Yeah. But it was awesome cuz we got outta that sprinter. Yeah. Like, we gotta go home for two days. And the guys had to stay out in the Airbnb. Speaker 1 00:59:42 Think of all the work, all the lifting that went on with those three. Speaker 3 00:59:47 All the lifting, Speaker 1 00:59:48 All the lifting going on all the planet fitness sessions. Yeah. They probably spend all day there. Speaker 2 00:59:52 Probably. They will. They will if you like that. He will waste all, they will waste some day. Speaker 3 00:59:55 Cause we'll all go together and like, we'll stay for like an hour, an hour and a half. Yeah. Like everyone gets their workout in and we're like, all right. Like everyone's gonna head back and they'll be like, not done yet. And I'm like, it's, we've been Speaker 2 01:00:04 Here for It's cause they walk around and talk. They're meander. They, they, they meander and look at theirselves in the mirror and <laugh> talk about everything. <laugh>. They do. Speaker 4 01:00:14 Might have to explain Meander to Burrell. That's another Speaker 1 01:00:17 Southern term. No meandering around. Just like hanging around listening or like, um, just Speaker 3 01:00:22 Dilly Speaker 1 01:00:23 Dly. Yeah. Dilly dabbling.

Ain't in the dictionary. One dictionary. I'll, I'll find it. I'd say me Meanderings real. That's a Speaker 3 01:00:47 Meandering is a word. Speaker 1 01:00:48 Google it. Go for it. Meandering, piddling arounds in the the Alabama state dictionary. Not piddling around. Yeah. Piddling. Yeah. You got Speaker 2 01:00:55 Quit piddling Speaker 1 01:00:56 Around.

But piddling around piddling. Piddling around was one of our, uh, word of the weeks with, uh, with Trey on DM Monday. Really? I had to learn what it was. Speaker 2 01:01:08 My, uh, my favorite thing that me and Kayleigh have recently been doing is, um, <laugh>. She writes down the random shit that I say. Speaker 1 01:01:16 Oh, perfect.

There was, uh, our show we got like halfway through and it, uh, started lightning. So everyone went to the parking garage. And I, but Speaker 1 01:02:02 That had to be like a badass, intimate kind of Speaker 2 01:02:04 Thing. It cool. I think I weighed, I made way more fans doing that then. Hell yeah. I would've just applied the shed Speaker 1 01:02:09 Normal. Hell yeah. What else we got? Speaker 3 01:02:10 Um, I wanna take a little tiger snooze.

Speaker 1 01:02:24 Say that again. Speaker 2 01:02:25 A little tiger. Snooze. Speaker 1 01:02:26 It's like nursery school Speaker 3 01:02:28 <laugh>.

Speaker 1 01:02:35 That's how Fred dur that that's how Fred Durst says it, it a in a, in a, um, in a song with Erin Lewis. So I, I say Biloxi cuz the, the, the whole world doesn't know what Biloxi is, Speaker 3 01:02:45 You know, and she looks over to me, we're at the pool, like drinking cocktails. Like she has a pina colada and she looks over me. She goes, did you know I'm allergic to pineapple? Like while with the pineapple in her mouth, <laugh>. And I'm like, Speaker 1 01:02:56 Cause risking it all for Speaker 2 01:02:58 Taste.

I, I knew I've I've even heard of that shit. Speaker 2 01:03:19 Kayleigh said, I wanna go hunting. I I do think I could kill a deer, but I'm gonna cry about it after I do Speaker 1 01:03:26 It. Oh, just have her film your film like an outdoor series. Series Speaker 3 01:03:29 And have her, but I wanna do it though. Like, I like feel like I can do it. I I might have to cry for Speaker 1 01:03:33 A minute, but, but, but also have the camera and get a, and I Speaker 2 01:03:36 Just don't think you should do Speaker 3 01:03:37 It.

Speaker 1 01:03:47 You wanna see birds? Speaker 3 01:03:48 Yeah. Deer just seem too close to dogs. That's my problem. Speaker 1 01:03:52 No, but you're not eating dogs unless you go to that one Chinese restaurant, whether on Pike, Speaker 2 01:03:56 <laugh>. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:03:58 You, I feel like you grew up a similar way to where I grew up where you're like a suburb of, of Atlanta. I was a suburb of New York. Yeah. So, and they're like out there on like family compounds and shit. Speaker 3 01:04:08 Yeah. I grew up in Powder Springs. The only reason people know where that is is because that Travis Denning song. So like, I grew up, it's not like the country, but like, it was, it was suburbs. Suburbs suburb, but suburb. Both my parents suburb are from Michigan. Suburb. Suburb. Yeah. So like, and Speaker 2 01:04:20 My mom's from Michigan, which is cool. I mean, weird Speaker 1 01:04:24 <laugh> cool and weird. Speaker 3 01:04:25 Cool and weird. Yeah. So I'm not like, I'm born and raised in Georgia, but like, not super, super southern, I Speaker 1 01:04:32 Guess. Not country. Speaker 3 01:04:33 Not country. Speaker 1 01:04:34 Not country. Country. Speaker 2 01:04:36 <laugh>. It's not fair to, you know what I mean? I feel like I'm a little like Speaker 1 01:04:40 You're what? Speaker 2 01:04:41 A little extra about it. What Speaker 1 01:04:42 Do you mean? You're a little extra country Speaker 3 01:04:44 Boys' dream girl. Oh Speaker 1 01:04:45 Yeah. You are a country boy's dream. But that song's gonna be a fucking hit. I Speaker 2 01:04:47 Think my brain power is going away. That Speaker 1 01:04:49 Song's gonna be a fucking hit. I hope you know that. It, it, I really like that shit a lot. I remember when Trey first showed us in the van. Speaker 2 01:04:55 I'm pumped about it. It's Speaker 1 01:04:56 A really good song. Thank Speaker 2 01:04:57 You. Good song. Thank you. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:04:58 You've got, you've got a lot of cool shit coming down the pipe. Speaker 2 01:05:00 Oh yeah. Feel like after spending writing forever. Speaker 1 01:05:03 Yeah. Now with the world. Good to Speaker 2 01:05:05 Hear your songs ready to go. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:05:06 And it's gonna be a whole different experience now releasing a song on a record Speaker 2 01:05:10 Deal. Yeah. You know how nice it's gonna be that people actually can listen to my songs at before they see me live. So maybe they'll know the words. Yeah. There's like two that they know, but they, and people know the words do know the words, but that'd be cool to have more. Speaker 1 01:05:22 Yeah. How's the, how's the TikTok game in treating you? Speaker 2 01:05:26 Um, good. Good. It's hard. Speaker 1 01:05:29 Yeah. It's Speaker 2 01:05:30 Stressful. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:05:31 It's not like you signed up the right songs and sing music and play for, play music for people. Speaker 2 01:05:36 I don't know know. I mean, I think it's a social media, it's a great way to push Speaker 1 01:05:38 Things, but it's a great tool. I'm just saying like, I, I hear a lot of people say that it's stressful. Speaker 2 01:05:42 I think pe some people are just good at it and some people like, you've gotta learn to be good at it, you know? And I'm one of those social media. If I, if I did not do music, I wouldn't have it probably. Yeah. Speaker 1 01:05:56 I'd be out there just shaking doves, <laugh>, tor em around, Speaker 2 01:06:01 You know, like, Speaker 1 01:06:02 No, I wanna Speaker 2 01:06:03 Go hunting. You know that thing at football games. I was like, Speaker 1 01:06:06 Yeah, Speaker 2 01:06:06 That's kinda like what it is. But dead bird. Speaker 4 01:06:10 No. Hey, look, just think about that.

You're buying that shit at the damn store. That shit's got antibiotics in it. All that other, you're eating fresh meat. Dove is really good too. Speaker 2 01:06:31 Dove is really good.
