Faren Rachels

Speaker 1 00:00:14 What is up Speaker 2 00:00:15 Everyone? How we doing? Welcome back to the end of the round podcast. You got Matt and Tyler? Speaker 1 00:00:19 What's up? Still Speaker 2 00:00:20 Up in Delaware and we have with us over Skype. Wish we were in person cuz she's one of my favorite human beings in Nashville, Tennessee. Love her dearly. It's Ms. Far and Rachel, it's Farren. How you doing? Speaker 3 00:00:30 I'm great. How are you? I'm Speaker 1 00:00:32 Doing well. We're Speaker 2 00:00:33 Doing well. We're hanging out in Delaware and this is, I think been, this is probably the longest that I've had a, a guy from south Alabama stuck up north for a while. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:00:42 I've been up here. So in 2015 I lived up north for six months on internships. Yeah. So between Connecticut and South Jersey. Speaker 2 00:00:48 So since then he's been up, he's been up here and I'm, and we're talk like, like 70 degrees for us is hot and he's still saying like, I wish it was warm. I wish it was warm. I'm like, dude, it's like 75, 50. Speaker 1 00:00:59 No, it's like 55 degrees and Speaker 2 00:01:00 Raining for the past two weeks. Speaker 3 00:01:02 Like, like I'm the same way. Yeah. If it's not between 70 and 75, I'm complaining. Yeah. But it's awesome today in Nashville. Yeah. The weather. Awesome. Speaker 2 00:01:10 Yeah. Yeah. I've been seeing pictures that people have been sending me and stuff that Nashville is looking really good. A lot of people out. And Speaker 1 00:01:17 I'm about to be going to Houston and it's gonna be like 90 when I'm there next week. So I'm going from cold to just like full open oven. Speaker 3 00:01:25 Yeah. Speaker 2 00:01:26 Yeah. There's nothing like the south when it gets warm. I've, I learned that early on, um, with Yeah. The humidity. There's, it's something about that humidity and stuff. So you're, you're from down in Georgia, Sparta, Georgia, correct? Speaker 3 00:01:38 Correct. Yep. It's um, it's like two hours. It's like, it's basically central Georgia. It's like an hour from Athens, an hour from Macon, couple hours from Atlanta. Yeah. But it's a really small town. Nobody's ever heard of it, but it is crazy. The humidity here is not near as bad as Sparta. Like No, it's it's crazy what just, it's like a six hour drive from here. Yeah. And it's crazy that the weather's so different to me. Speaker 1 00:02:02 Yeah. So I'm originally from Atlanta and even Atlanta is worse, the Nashville to me. Yeah. And then I moved to South Alabama and our town was literally built on top of a swamp, like 50 miles. I know, right? Inland. So like our mosquitoes are the size of quarters, which I imagine you could, Speaker 3 00:02:17 That's how they're in Sparta too though. It's crazy. Yeah, Speaker 2 00:02:20 Yeah. No, so Sparta, Georgia, that's the fact that you're close to a lot of different markets in Georgia. I'm sure that helped you on with going out and gigging and playing shows. And I know you're a big Bulldogs fan. I have watched a i I I can say that I've watched the Georgia Bulldogs game with you, cuz remember that night we were in Memphis. Speaker 3 00:02:38 Yes. And Speaker 2 00:02:38 The and they were, they were playing Tennessee I think. Yeah. Yeah. And Tennessee gave them a little bit of a fight early on and Farin was freaking out. Oh yeah. Watching the Bulldogs <laugh>. Well, Speaker 3 00:02:49 Well I do, I I, I have a problem and like it, we've been, since we've been touring so much over the last couple years, I haven't been near as good of a fan as I used to be cuz I just we're up driving down the road half the time during the games or playing shows. So like, I don't know the players like I used to and stuff, but I went to uga. Okay. So, you know, I kind of have to pull for 'em. But it's like, since I've moved to Nashville, I hate Tennessee. Sorry to any Tennessee fans listening, but I don't, it's like, I'm just, it's surrounded, you know, Speaker 1 00:03:17 I'm an Alabama fan and I feel the exact same Speaker 2 00:03:19 Way. See I think the two teams that are the most hated in the s e C are Tennessee and Alabama. I think Tennessee because they used to be really good and the fans just talk a lot of smack. They're a bunch of Speaker 1 00:03:29 Snitches. Speaker 2 00:03:30 Yeah. Tennessee just talks a lot. And then Alabama, they've just been on that hot streak for now 10, 15 years and stuff. But my, one of my favorite s e c towns to go to one of my favorite college towns is Athens, Georgia. What was it like going, oh my God, Athens. Yeah. What's, how would you de is the best. Yeah. How would you describe Athens, Georgia to somebody who hasn't had the pleasure of checking out the Georgia Theater, checking out the million and one bar that are in Athens, Georgia? Speaker 3 00:03:53 Well that's like, that's where I really started playing a lot was in college. I mean there's like, it's a good music scene there too. Um, and it's, I mean the, obviously the university is huge, but it's awesome that Athens doesn't feel like the city doesn't feel like that, you know? Um, which, I mean, I graduated high school with 12 people so when I went to uga, like my biology class was like 600 people and like really overwhelming. So it already felt big. But I think I wouldn't have survived anywhere other than Athens. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. Like, it still feels like a small town even though the university, the campus is huge. But that's pretty much all of Athens, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Um, and the downtown scene is so great. Like, I mean obviously the Georgia Theater and like 40 Watt and, uh, me and Ray used to play a place called, uh, Jr's Bait Shack. I don't even know if it's there anymore. It's above the strip club. I think Toppers is still there. <laugh>. But um, like, you know, it's like a great little place, especially like getting your feet wet, like playing live music. Cuz I've always said like, if you can keep a college crowd into it and entertained, then you can play anywhere, you know. Speaker 2 00:04:57 Exactly. Yeah. Absolutely. And there's so much history within Athens with country music and so many artists like yourself, you just mentioned Ray, Ray Fulcher, a lot of, there's a, there's a big crowd. I mean, everybody talks about the, the artists that come outta Georgia and there's a real pipeline there. So for you coming up, you came up with guys like Ray. Who else was playing that scene with you? Speaker 3 00:05:17 Uh, like Langston, John Langston. I played a lot of shows with him. Um, Travis Denning, like Jordan Reger, all those Georgia guys. Yeah, it's uh, Cole Taylor. Yeah. Was doing the artist thing back then. We played a lot of shows together. Yeah. Yeah. And they're all big Bulldog fans too, so Speaker 2 00:05:33 <laugh>. Yeah. I mean it's just crazy to to rewind, to think about all you guys playing the college circuit and now fast forward and to see everybody out there crushing it. You've got a ton of great music out. You've got some new music that's, thank you. New music that's dropped that we're excited to talk about. And thank Speaker 3 00:05:48 You. Speaker 2 00:05:49 It's, it's just super, super cool to see kind of just how it's all kind of exploded. And you guys, so when did you move to Nashville? When did you make the, the jump from Georgia to Nashville? Speaker 3 00:05:59 I moved to Nashville in 2011. Speaker 2 00:06:03 Wow. So Nashville wasn't, yeah, so Nashville wasn't quite what it is now. So you kind of got in right before the boom started? Speaker 3 00:06:10 I did. Um, I lived in Atlanta for just a little bit, uh, when I graduated college cuz I got a normal like office job. I was working for an insurance company and um, Atlanta was just too much for me. Like it was, I mean I'm, you know, I I like to go there and play there now, but I'm just from such a small town that like Athens was big for me. Yeah. So when I went to Athens, I, I mean Atlanta, I was miserable. And um, also I, that's not really fair cuz Atlanta's a great town and I have some good friends from there, but it was also that I hated, uh, having an office job and like not being in Nashville. So then I, when I moved to Nashville, yeah. It was so different from now that it felt like more like in Athens, you know, it was like, it, especially the music business itself, it just feels so small, you know? Yeah. Speaker 1 00:06:59 Yeah. What, Speaker 3 00:07:00 What part of like easy to meet people and Yeah. Speaker 1 00:07:02 What part of Atlanta were you living in? Speaker 3 00:07:05 I lived in Duluth for a little bit. Okay. And then I lived over, um, uh, I guess it would technically be like Vinings area. Okay, Speaker 1 00:07:14 Cool. Speaker 3 00:07:14 Like in close to Marietta? Speaker 1 00:07:16 Yeah. Yeah. So I'm originally from like Riverdale, Jonesboro Evero. Okay. Speaker 2 00:07:21 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I've only been to Atlanta I think twice now, maybe Speaker 1 00:07:25 Three, four times. Three Speaker 2 00:07:26 Or four times. Um, where I've been to Atlanta and I was just blown away that there's big cities in the south like that. Me being from New York, like I'm used to being around a ton of people and, and being in, in a city where there's millions of people and then going down and seeing a metropolis like Atlanta where, where you're in Georgia, where it's mostly small town USA and then you roll up on Atlanta and it's like, where am I? It's Speaker 3 00:07:49 Crazy. I know, I know. It's crazy. And the traffic, I just, I don't know, I could never get used to it. I mean, I like to go visit. I still have a couple friends that live there and it's nice to go like for a weekend, but traffic, I just don't think I could deal with that. Traffic. Speaker 1 00:08:01 Yeah. Atlanta traffic, I think like rivals like la like any, anytime that, yeah, whenever I was like traveling a lot through Atlanta with another band before, uh, muscadine and all them, like, I would always say if we gotta go through Atlanta, cause we went to Florida like every other week, it's like add three hours to our trip. Cause that's how long it takes to get through Atlanta. Speaker 2 00:08:20 Yeah. What, what was working in office job like? Cause I can't envision you doing other anything else besides music. Like, I only like what <laugh> like what was fair and Rachel's the office <laugh> the insurance office worker. Like Speaker 3 00:08:32 It was not, well, honestly, I loved my coworkers and I've, um, I would like to say that I fit in a little better than you would think I would. But, um, I, I mean I was just basically like I answered the phone and listened to people bitch at me about things that I could do nothing about and then had to transfer them to, you know, and then like check. I was like three people's assistants like checked their email and responded to people that they didn't want to and stuff like that. So it wasn't like I was doing anything serious with insurance. It was mostly just I was the messenger. Um, but yeah, I had to wear the whole like heels every day and <laugh> actually shower unlike right now. So. Speaker 2 00:09:10 Yeah. See I think you made the right call with going into music. I really do. Oh man. When, when did that switch? Like, when did it occur to you that you wanted to pursue music for a living? Like that was like what you wanted to do? Speaker 3 00:09:22 Well, it's always what I mean, ever since I was a little girl, I've been, it's kind of sad how obsessed I've been. Like my, my mom and my brother, I used to drive them crazy. My grandparents would record like the CMAs and the ACMs on VHS tapes for me. And I would watch 'em like year round and like I would only watch C M T and I had a karaoke machine and I would like pretend to be Faith Hill like instead of going to play with my friends. It was really weird. And like, the more I think about it, I'm like, that is so strange. But, um, anyway, I've always wanted to do it. And I sang like in church and at weddings I was the go-to like wedding and funeral singer in Georgia, you know. Um, and then, I don't know, I mean, I wanted, I applied or I was going to apply to Belmont cuz I wanted to, you know, move here right outta high school. Speaker 3 00:10:11 But my mom is a single mom and she was like, absolutely not like, you know, you have to go somewhere where you can get a scholarship. And in Georgia we had the Hope scholarship. So if you had, you know, good grades, they would pay for your tuition. So, and she just really wanted me to go to college to be honest. I really wanted to just say fuck it and move up here. But, um, she was, it was like her dream for me. So I was like, okay. And I, now I'm really glad I did cuz I grew up a little bit and also like learned so much about like playing the bar scene and stuff. Um, you, but then right outta college, I was like, well I don't have a job. Like I don't know how to get there. And I just took the first job I could find and then, I don't know, I just got to a point where I was pretty miserable and I was like, what am I doing with my life? Like I know what I wanna do and what I've always wanted to do and I gotta quit wasting time, you know? So packed up everything and moved up here and I nannied, I actually got a nannying job through like a website. Um, I came up and interviewed with the family and then as soon as they told me I had the job, I moved up. So hell Speaker 2 00:11:20 Yeah. I gotta ask too, how's the goat doing? Is the goat still at your mom's place? Speaker 3 00:11:25 There's more than one goat now. Speaker 2 00:11:27 There's more than one goat. So the goat, the goats are multiplied. So I don't know if you heard about this, Tyler. I don't think I have. So fair. So there was, there's some goats in smart at Georgia and Farran's mom is like adopted 'em and there was one goat, now there's two goats. Tell us about these. Speaker 3 00:11:41 There's, there's actually three. So Speaker 2 00:11:43 There's three. Oh boy. Well, so I love Speaker 3 00:11:45 It. My mom is like the sweetest, most perfect, like would give anyone the shirt off her back and like, take care of anything that is neglected. Like, that's just who she is. We are completely opposite <laugh> <laugh>. And like, she just, I don't know, she just can't stand it. And um, a friend of hers has like, has a farm or goat farm or whatever and apparently when goats have babies they'll like pick the strongest ones that they're gonna like feed and take care of and they'll let like a couple of them die. And so my mom was at the farm right after some were born and she could not stand the thought of, you know, those baby goats not being their mom, not feeding them and stuff. So she took it home and now she's, I think she's taking three home and basically what she's doing is bodily bottle feeding them and they sleep in a little box beside her bed. I've seen, she sent me pictures of her, uh, grooming it, like washing it in the kitchen sink and then drying its hair with a hair dryer. And basically once it's like old enough that she feels like she can take it back to the farm, then like, I think she's already taken one back to it's family. That's Speaker 2 00:12:49 Awesome. I love It's Speaker 3 00:12:50 Hilarious. Speaker 2 00:12:51 Yeah. I love, I love that. And I remember you saying, mom, we'll just get you a dog. We'll just get you right. Speaker 3 00:12:57 It was just so random. She sent me a picture and was like, look at my new baby or something. And it was her bottle feeding a goat. And I was like, mom, we can get you a cat or a dog. Like, this is super weird. Speaker 1 00:13:07 My, uh, my pastor back in Alabama, his son was like the guy that like goes out of his way to figure out how to do the least amount of work. So he came home with like six or eight goats Speaker 3 00:13:18 Like me Speaker 1 00:13:19 <laugh>. Yeah. He like came home with like six or eight goats one day because his dad was making them cut the lawn like every week. And he was like, dad, I got, they won't Speaker 3 00:13:27 Eat anything. Speaker 1 00:13:27 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, I got the automatic yard cutters, here we go and put 'em in the backyard. And he was like, no, all I gotta do is cut the front yard, which is a lot less than the back. So Speaker 3 00:13:36 <laugh>. That's so funny. Well, our neighbors have goat or used to have goats. I don't know if they still do, but, um, and we have a fence, like just a normal like wire fence that separates our yard from theirs. And they would get, my brother had a basketball goal out there and they would get their head stuck in the fence like every day. And so like me and my brother would have to go wrestle the goats out of the fence. So goats have always been a thing, I guess, in our family. But these are the first ones that mom's ever brought in the house and put in the kitchen sink. So Speaker 2 00:14:06 Hell yeah. No, I, I love it. Yeah. No, that's great. How have you been doing during all this quarantine stuff? How, what have you been up to? How have you been keeping busy? Speaker 3 00:14:14 Oh, that's, well I'm drinking white collar right now. There Speaker 2 00:14:17 You go. Ain't no, ain't no laws. There you go. Speaker 3 00:14:20 There you go. Uh, me and my friend keep saying it's the seventies. Like we feel like quarantine is like, you can do whatever you want whenever you want cuz there's no rules like <laugh>, you know? Yeah. Um, I've been writing some like on Zoom and you know, like this, like FaceTime or whatever and um, just like getting ready. We were getting ready to put the new single out and stuff, but other than that I'm just trying not to gain a hundred pounds and get super depressed. <laugh> Speaker 2 00:14:47 Just like, yeah, no, I feel that it's Speaker 3 00:14:48 Just such a weird energy. Like it's a weird time. Speaker 2 00:14:51 Yeah. Especially the time of year that it is. Like, I think if it was like around that winter time it would be a little bit different because that's the time that everybody's kind of like cooped up and off the road you Speaker 3 00:15:01 Wanna be inside anyway. Speaker 2 00:15:02 Yeah, exactly. But now the weather's getting good and it's the time when Nashville's at its busiest when everybody's out on the road when it's like festival season and everybody's going, going everywhere. And it's weird to be, I know, weird to be cooped up and I feel you with the not wanting to gain a hundred pounds. I've been <laugh> we've been up, we've been up here in Delaware now going on seven or eight weeks. It's, it's going on like seven weeks, which is a long time to be up here. And my mom, I love her. She's a very good cook in New York. Lots and how lots of pasta. Lots of pasta and lots of Italian cooking. And I've just been been eating this pasta and getting, getting home cooked meals again, which has been nice. Speaker 1 00:15:40 And then you have me that's like re like refall in love with cooking, also cooking for everybody. So I've been like grilling like two or three times a week. Like we had burgers the other day. Yeah. And they were like, Speaker 2 00:15:51 They were like this big, it was like bigger than a Whataburger burger. Speaker 3 00:15:55 Well it's like what is there to do? Exactly. What else else is there to do other than cook and eat and you know, I mean I've been fishing a lot. You just sit at home all day. That's the thing. When you're busy it's like you're not, especially like when we're on the road, it's like, okay, oh do we have time for lunch kind of thing, you know? Yeah, yeah. But now, now it's like, oh, I guess I'm hungry again. Not really. I'm probably just bored, but I'm gonna make another sandwich <laugh>, you know? Speaker 2 00:16:18 Yeah, no, super weird. Yeah, no, for sure. It's definitely interesting times, but I can't wait till we're all back out on the road and we're doing it Speaker 3 00:16:24 And I miss it so Speaker 2 00:16:25 Much. Yeah. And I can't wait till we're out on the road with you. Some of my favorite times have been hanging out, hanging out with you and, and being in, being in these different places and really experiencing road life. Some of my first runs, because I had never done any kind of touring. Tyler's done a bunch of it before, uh, before being out with Gary and Charlie, like where we are now. But like, some of my first runs were out. Were where you were out on the road with us and getting to learn. That's right. Getting to learn, um, learn what road life is like and stuff. And you've got a cool crew that you take out on the road with you when you're rolling full band and stuff. Talk about the boys that you bring out with you. You got a bunch of kids out there with you. Speaker 3 00:17:00 Oh my gosh. Well you, I used to say they were, I was like, I'm the mom, which is terrifying, but <laugh> like they, I mean it is. Uh, but the, so Rocky Block and Grady Block are, um, well used to like Rocky was my band leader. He played bass and Grady played drums. They're brothers. And um, those are like my main two guys. And we have been on the road a lot together and just become like, I mean they're literally like my brothers, like my little brothers. But Rocky started playing for me right outta high school when he was like 18. Wow. Um, I think I was his first gig, so, and he's, you know, toured with me pretty consistently. And then Grady was like a real baby then I think he was like 16. And I remember Rocky telling me like, you know, my brother's not ready yet, but like when he gets ready, like I have, he's a great drummer. He's just like, got some stuff to learn or whatever. And I was just like, okay, cool. Like sure you just want your brother out on the road, whatever. And then the first time he played with us I was like, oh God, he's like one of the best drummers that I've ever had, you know. So, um, those guys were like my brothers. And then obviously Weston that Gary and Charlie stole from me was my, I Speaker 2 00:18:08 Heard about that story Speaker 3 00:18:09 Was my great. He's so great. He's so great. I love that he's like come out of his shell though cuz I, I don't know what it is, but I always get the babies cuz he was like, I'm pretty sure I'm the one that convinced him to drop outta school. Like he was, you know, a freshman in college and took my gig and was touring with us pretty consistently and on the road all the time we'd be like, quit school lesson because he'd be like trying to take a final in the van. Like, you know, or he'd be like, go sit in the hotel room for 30 minutes to get on a, you know, like a meeting with his classmates and stuff. And I'm like, we got sound check in 30 minutes, like <laugh>. You know. Um, but it's been cool cuz those guys have like, we kind of grew up, I mean I, they started playing for me when I really started touring, like playing festivals and like bigger shows and stuff. And so even though they're a lot younger than me, we were all kind of learning together. Cuz before that all I had done was like the bar scene, you know? Yeah, Speaker 2 00:19:01 Yeah. And I know one, one festival or one one show that I remember hearing about, oh, I remember hearing you and Weston tell stories about the, the BG cruise, the Brantley Gilbert Cruise. What was Speaker 3 00:19:12 Oh yeah, Speaker 2 00:19:13 That, what was that like with all those boy, with all those boys on all those kids being with you and then I know you had some other friends that were, that were on that cruise as well playing and what was that experience like? Yeah, playing a show, going out on a boat. And that was what, that's a week or a couple days or how does that all work? Speaker 3 00:19:27 It was, I think it was a total of four days, I think it was, it was a short one and I've like joked about it. I'm like, thank God cuz if it would've been seven days, so we went to Nassau, we went to The Bahamas and I did not get off the ship. Like I was so hungover that day that we actually were docked and could get off the boat that I could not leave my room. That's, if that tells you anything about the cruise. It was just, I mean it was Braley Gilbert fans, you know, like they love to party and it was just, I mean a cruise as a vacation and a party anyway. And um, it gets me in trouble sometimes cuz I love to drink and like hang and party with people. And so when I was meeting like new fans and stuff, they're like, let's take a shot. Speaker 3 00:20:08 And I never rarely turned those down. So it was just like, I don't remember a whole lot about it <laugh>, to be completely honest, I feel that. But it was so much fun. It was, it was really cool too to like spend a few days with the same people cuz like, you know, the first show we played, nobody knew who I was. And then, um, by the end of it, like the last show we played, there were like a lot of people there that, and some of those people had been there since the beginning of it, you know? So it was cool to like actually get to know fans. You never get to play. I mean every now and then, you know, some venues you'll play two nights in a row, but other than that, you know, it's play and then see ya in six months or whatever. So it was cool to actually get to know, know those people and stuff. It was fun. And Brantley is like the best dude ever. Yeah. Like Speaker 2 00:20:53 I'm, yeah, he's, he's a cool dude. Yeah. I've had the, I had the opportunity to meet him a couple times when I was doing, when I was working country radio up in Jersey and he's, he's a real like down to earth guy. You wouldn't guess that with like the whole biker thing with his and like the tattoos and the, the brass knuckles on the microphone and this and that, but Right. Real down or dude, Speaker 3 00:21:10 I still believe he will kick someone's ass for sure. Speaker 2 00:21:13 Oh, 100%. Yeah. Speaker 3 00:21:15 But he was so sweet to me, like, um, he, all the artists that played it, he had like a dinner on the last night of it that he like was just for us or whatever and um, he came over and like, and he didn't have to do that, you know, he came over and talked to me and thanked me for playing it and I'm like, uh, no thank you for letting me do this. And I was actually had a show that night, it was my last show and he was like, I'm gonna come, I'm gonna come, you know, here. And I was like, okay. But I was playing in like the lounges and stuff where there's no like v i p area and all. And so I was thinking he's not gonna, you know, that was nice of him to say, but he's not gonna come. Speaker 3 00:21:49 Yeah. And sure enough he stood side stage and watched my whole set and then when we got back from the cruise, um, I remember I was in a, right like a couple weeks later and he, I got a text and it said, Hey fairness, this is Brantley, I got your number from, well his manager I gotta know pretty well on the cruise. And he was like, I just wanna tell you again how great you were and I really love what you're doing. And, and I was just like, what a, like he does not have to take time to do that. You know, like, it like made my life for him to say that he loved what we're doing. So it was awesome. Really. Speaker 2 00:22:21 That's awesome. Really good. That's awesome. And again, that Georgia connection, he's the guy that came up playing the Georgia Theater and another Georgia boy who played that same circuit that you and that you were playing with all your buddies, you know? Speaker 3 00:22:30 Well I was in college like my freshman year I bet I went to five or six of Brantley shows, you know, but then he was, you know, obviously not the Brantley Gilbert he is now. But it is crazy. I mean talking about Athens though, it is nuts. I saw Eric Church at Georgia Theater. I saw Dirk Bentley, lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, little big town like, you know, like all the back then, I mean that they were playing the venues that we play now, you know, it was just crazy. It's Speaker 1 00:22:59 Really cool. It towards us, the theater to go backstage and see like all the signed bricks of like who's played there and all. Speaker 3 00:23:06 Yeah, yeah. We got to, uh, we opened, uh, chauffeur Dwight Yoakum there and that's the only time I've got to play there. But it was one of the coolest that was, that's just like a bucket list venue for me. Speaker 1 00:23:16 Yeah. It's an awesome venue and all the crew and everybody there is Speaker 3 00:23:19 Great. They treat you so well. They do. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:23:22 Yeah. Another, uh, another, I guess you could say it was a festival date. It was actually my first weekend out with Muscadine and the first time I got to see you, um, oh, was Patriots Fest with Speaker 3 00:23:35 Virginia Beach. Holy Speaker 2 00:23:36 Cow. Yeah. What was that? That, that was, that was before, that was insane. That was before my time. I, I started like another two months later. But I remember getting Snapchats from Tyler that day and he, he didn't really know what to expect. He had just gotten, gotten the gig through, through knowing, knowing somebody and getting to know Gary and Charlie and he sent me these Snapchats like, bro, what the fuck have you gotten yourself into? What was that like Speaker 1 00:23:56 The whole day? Like the, Speaker 3 00:23:57 I didn't know either. Speaker 1 00:23:58 The day before it was crazy, right? Yeah, the day before and like the whole weekend Charlie was like talking to me cuz like, this was literally the first time Muscoy brought me out and they didn't know if I was good or anything. Like this was my tryout. What Speaker 3 00:24:11 A first. Yeah. They threw you in the fire? Speaker 1 00:24:13 Yeah, they threw me straight into the fire and the whole day they were like, yeah man, like if the house guy wants to run it, you know, like if he just wants to do it, like, you know, we can find something for you to do if you don't feel comfortable. And like here I am like, like I've been doing sound now for a little while, just not on that level like I've done, you know? Yeah, Speaker 3 00:24:31 There were How many people do you remember? I think it was like, it Speaker 1 00:24:34 Was like 59,600. Speaker 3 00:24:35 Yeah. They were expecting 20. Yeah, they Speaker 1 00:24:37 Were expecting Speaker 3 00:24:38 20. I think it was like close to 60,000 people showed up. I know that at the end of the night there were, um, well not even the end like before Luke, cuz it was me, muscadine and Luke Combs. Yeah. And, and before Luke played, I think they were already had like fire the fire marshals and everything like try cuz it was, I mean it's on the beach and like trying to keep people out and stuff. I mean as when we sound checked, cuz I know the day was like as usual, as usual for festivals. It was like running a little behind. And since we were the first of three, by the time we sound checked it was like time to open the gates during our sound check. I bet we have 50 people. Yeah. Like watching our sound like right at the stage watching our sound check, you know. And then by the time we played I could not see like as far as I could see it was just people. It was just, that was the most people we've played for you. Speaker 1 00:25:25 Um, they were like I was, I listened to a few of <inaudible> songs, like I knew their were repertoire. Like I kind of knew what to expect. Like I really didn't know like their songs by heart by then. Yeah. But I remember like at one point we had an hour set and it was probably like 45 minutes in, it was somewhere around Port Swing Angel. Like I just kinda looked back and I couldn't see the end of people from front of house and I was just like, what the hell? Like Speaker 3 00:25:51 It was the weird Yeah, it was crazy. I think the crazy thing is I knew we took that one and it was a one-off for us and I never take one-offs that are like that far away. Yeah. Cuz it was such a long drive. But when I saw the, like when I saw the offer and it was like, you know, estimated 20,000 people and it was with Luke and Musk and I, I was like, we'll do you know, we need to do this one. But then when we got there I was like, holy shit, I cannot imagine if I would've like not taken that show and like missed out on that. Cuz that was such a cool day. Speaker 2 00:26:19 Yeah. And for you, you talk about Musca Island and Luke, you guys have all kind of like come up together and like you've known those boys for a long time. How'd you get to know like those camp like those camps and like how did y'all kind of meet initially? Was it you all moved to Nashville the same time or did you guys just kind of come up as friends or how'd that all get started? Speaker 3 00:26:38 It wa I think we all moved around the same time. I think I've been here, I know I've been here a couple years longer than Luke, but I'm not sure about Muscadine. Y'all know when they moved up? I know that um, Speaker 2 00:26:48 I think it was like 2014 so probably a little bit later. Yeah, yeah, Speaker 3 00:26:51 Yeah. So it was probably a couple years after. But see the thing is when I first moved here I was working all the time and so like I didn't meet the first couple years I was here. I was like working 40 hours a week and then just trying to go to Whiskey Jam or trying to write with random people that would write on the like at night or on the weekends and stuff. So I didn't really, I used to joke and say like the first couple years I almost feel like it didn't count cuz I definitely wasn't like all in so like meeting a lot of people. So it's hard for me to remember who moved here when I moved here versus you know, just like a few years later. But I met Luke and the Musca Iron guys through Ray Fulcher. Um, Ray Ray loves to tell the story. Speaker 3 00:27:30 I'm not gonna tell it cuz it makes me sound so mean. But we, he went to UGA too and we're like, he's a couple years older than me so we never knew each other. I don't know how, cuz we talk about it all the time. He's actually from close to where I'm from and we both went to Georgia but never ran like, never knew each other in school, which is so weird. But the week he moved to Nashville, um, I met him at a bar and we were around or something and he loves to tell a story cuz he said, I big league him. He said he tried to introduce himself to me and asked to write and I was a bitch, which is not surprising. But, um, anyway, we, we did write not long after that and became really good friends. He's one of my best friends and he used to go back to Georgia and put on like songwriter nights and stuff all the time. Uh, so yeah, I met them at one of those, I think it was me, muscadine, Murphy, Elmore, pat Cooper and Ray and Luke came that night. There's like a video that has gone viral of a, of them backstage. I'm like, not in the camera, but um, I think where Luke is singing Night Moves by Bob Seeger or something. Speaker 2 00:28:32 Yeah, I've seen, I've, yeah, yeah, I've seen that video. Yeah, Speaker 3 00:28:34 So that's the night that I, I already l I already knew Luke before that, but that was the night that all of us like first hung out. And then, I mean I've written with, you know, I wrote with them back in the day, me and Musk and I used to write a good bit. But, um, anyway, so yeah, and then like just playing shows and then I was at River House. I, I've been gone for a little while now, but my management was the same as Luke's for a while and I went on tour with him, so got to know him and his crew really well. Speaker 2 00:29:00 So. Nice. That's awesome. That's and it's, and and watching from from afar, like I remember being on being on the radio side and kind of watching all this stuff happen because we had Luke on, I had a college radio show and that was back when I used to drink and get my, get my real partying on. And we had Luke on our college radio shows back in like 2015 or 2016 and just kind of seeing the explosion between like seeing, seeing your name pop up in there, seeing Musket on seeing Ray, seeing Drew Parker seeing like that, that whole crew kind of come up. It, it was ju it was really cool to like watch from afar. I wish I could have been down in Nashville to kind of watch that explosion then Whiskey Jam. You mentioned Whiskey Jam. I, I've seen you, I think that was the first first time I ever saw you play was at Whiskey Jam. Speaker 2 00:29:44 And I remember being, I remember being like, oh shit, that's fair. And Rachel's and like seeing, oh that's Laney Wilson. Oh that's Meg Patrick. And I think it was one of the happy, one of the raised rowdy nights or it was one of the nights where it was just a stack lineup where it was all you girls playing and it was really cool to see. You've got, you've you associate with some really cool people. You've got some, some damn cool friends like all you guys together and, and getting to hang out with y'all has been been awesome. Especially those nights that end up at Red Door cookout at three in the morning, you know. Speaker 3 00:30:11 Yeah, that happened. Used to happen a lot before Quarantine <laugh>. Yeah. I'm kind of concerned about when it goes back to normal and we're all able like can you imagine the night that Red Door opens? Speaker 2 00:30:21 Yeah, it's gonna be insane division, it's Speaker 3 00:30:24 Gonna be Speaker 2 00:30:24 Crazy. Like people are talking about Broadway's gonna be nuts, but I don't think Broadway's gonna be nuts because I don't think a lot of the tourists are gonna be coming down right away. I think it's gonna be a lot of us locals, locals that have all moved, moved to Nashville. Like all the industry people hanging out in Midtown and uh, I think Speaker 3 00:30:42 So too. Yeah. And I think it's gonna be insane. And I'm concerned for my liver <laugh> Speaker 1 00:30:47 You gotta, uh, you know, I saw something the other day and I was like, basically you gotta keep drinking cuz nobody needs lightweights back at the bar when we go borrow. Speaker 3 00:30:54 I know it was like PSA from bartenders and stuff. Yeah. It was like, please keep your tolerance up. Don't come, don't show up at the bar and through all quarantine. Like Yeah. That's so funny. Well, I'm doing my job then I'm doing what they requested Speaker 2 00:31:07 <laugh>. Yeah. How, yeah. So how'd you get, how'd you get tied in with like the whiskey jam crowd and, uh, ward and all those guys? Speaker 3 00:31:14 Uh, well I, so when I first moved to town, I nannied for a family. Um, the one that I got the job like right before I moved up and then I, the mother was crazy and I realized that after I started working for them, um, I hope she hears this, I'm just kidding. But Speaker 2 00:31:32 She, Speaker 3 00:31:33 She was a crazy bitch and she, um, like literally one month in I was like, this is not gonna work. Like she just is. I could tell you stories for days, but anyway, so I was trying to get outta that job and find another one and um, I was gonna whiskey jam every Monday night. I mean I saw Chris Stapleton play. Um, like I think the first night we went Channing Wilson was playing and maybe like David Nell, I don't know, like we, Carly Pierce was like one of the first ones I went to like, and, and it was used, it used to be like 50 people at Winters. Yeah. Like, no, it was only like industry people that knew about it, you know. So anyway, I was just going because I'm, you know, trying to meet people and like loved a lot of their lineups back then were just stacked with always like solid songwriters. Speaker 3 00:32:22 And I got drunk one night with, at the time Ward and Josh Hogue were running it, uh, they started it together. Josh Ho's like written a bunch of Chris Young and Kane Brown stuff. Yeah, oh yeah. A songwriter here in town. But anyway, he um, he needed a nanny and we were hammered, uh, behind Winters and he said something about needing a nanny and I was like, I'm a nanny and I hate the family I work for, so do you, you want, you know. And so I, it's so funny because I was like, how did I make that happen? Cuz we were hammered. Like if I, if I would've been him, I was like, no crazy girl that I just met at Whiskey Jam <laugh> who just took six shots of Fireball. You cannot take care of my child <laugh>. But, uh, if you know Josh ho it would not surprise you that it worked out cuz the next day I interviewed with his, um, baby mama and I got the job. Speaker 3 00:33:06 So I worked for them for a little while and just got like close with Josh and Ward through that. And um, they let me play it the first time. I was terrible. I'm so glad there's not like, I had just started writing songs and the the songs I played were awful. So I don't know why they let me. But anyway, they've always, like, ward has just been, they've done some, like, they'll go to Chicago and play and they go back to Georgia and like do now they like tour as Whiskey Jam and he's let me do some of those and when they have like the big outdoor shows and stuff, he'll still call me. They're just, they've been like super sweet and supportive. Speaker 2 00:33:39 Yeah, no, and that's, that's something that I, I noticed early on from moving to Nashville. Cuz again, when you're an outsider, like the Whiskey Jam brand now is, is huge. And it was, I've only been in town for coming up on two years, but one of my first time, one of my, like one of my first nights in town, I remember my buddies telling me, you gotta come to Whiskey Jam. Like, we gotta go like introduce you to some people. You gotta check it out. And just seeing what Whiskey Jam is like and how big of a big of a thing it is. Speaker 3 00:34:06 It's so weird how it's changed. It's just like Nashville though. Everything's changed. It's like, and I still love to go and I go like hear my friends and I'll pop in like if I'm already in Midtown just to, even if I don't know anybody on the lineup. But it started getting like, I think TMZ did a feature on 'em at one point and then, um, like Southern Living did a article about 'em and then shit just like took off. Like it blew up, you know? And so, um, it's funny cuz that it was not, it did not used to be like it is now. Like you used to could find a place to sit, you know, now like you have to worry about if you look at the lineup and recognize like a couple big names, then you have to get there two hours early to even get in, you know? Speaker 2 00:34:47 Yeah. And one of those, one of those lineups that pops up when Ray's rowdy comes in and does their takeover. I know you they do great. Yeah. I know your buddies with, with Nikki t and Sarah and Heather and that, that whole crew. Derek, how'd you get to know these crazy yinzer from Pittsburgh? How'd you get to meet Nikki t and all those guys? Speaker 3 00:35:06 I met Nick when I was on tour with Luke in Pennsylvania in like late 2017 and I think I was there. Oh, he, he, he told me I was, their first interview I was there, he had just started Razor Audi and he um, obviously came to see Luke and came up to me at the meet and greet afterwards and was like, I'm starting a thing. And I like, love what you, you love your music, I'd love to let you be our first artist or whatever. And so I, I pick at him now, I'm like, you're stuck with me <laugh>. I was the first artist. So you have to, you have to to keep having me back, you know? Speaker 2 00:35:39 Yeah. That's, that's awesome. Um, cuz those guys have, I've become good friends with those guys and nights out with Nikki t and that crew get Wild as well. They are, yes. They are a party bunch and it's crazy what they've, what they've been able to do with not fully even being in Nashville. I know they've kind of like colonized it in a way where there's a few of them down there, but Nikki's still in Pittsburgh. Sarah's still up in, up in New England. And to see what, what they're doing and, and the support that they've given as well is insane. Like just how much they've grown, you know? Speaker 3 00:36:09 Yeah. I love it. I love watching stuff like that. I mean, I, to be completely honest, I'm not, if it weren't for music, I would not be very active on social media probably cuz I'm just not, I don't know, it's just not my thing. But the good thing about social media and the world we live in now is like razor Audi and y'all and like, you know, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do stuff like this. And people, it's just so easy to find out about, you know, new music now, especially independent like unsigned artists. So like whiskey riff, like y'all razor like all those sites. And um, I don't know, the way y'all support independent artists, it just makes me really happy. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:36:48 We want, we, yeah, I mean with with the way that the, the industry is and everything. I mean like, you don't necessarily need the radio play anymore. Like, there's so many ways and to see what artists like yourself are doing with like, with Spotify and like the fact once you get songs out there, the reach of songs now with streaming, it's incredible. It's crazy. Yeah. Speaker 3 00:37:09 Yeah. It's awesome. Um, I mean it definitely sometimes I think I should have been like born 20 years before I was, cuz like, I love nineties country Yeah. So much. Speaker 2 00:37:18 Yeah. Your style. Think about Yeah. Yeah. Your style. Not to cut you off real quick, your style is very much like, like one of a kind in today's, in today's genre. In today's where, where country is like, where like, thank you. There's, there's kind of been like this nineties revival both on the guys' side and of course on the girls' side with, with girls like yourself, Laney, Hannah Dasher, who just mm-hmm. Come out and are just badass and aw thank singing, singing damn country songs. And so for you growing up, who were some like big artists that you've, I know you said Faith Hill, I'm sure Reba's in there. Um, Speaker 3 00:37:52 Faith, all those, I mean, it was back when women were like ruling country music. Like Trisha Yearwood, she's from Georgia and grew up like an hour from me. So she was always like my, I remember we played, um, high school. In high school. I played basketball against the school that she went to and her picture was hanging in the lobby and I just remember that moment being like, oh shit. Like, like that's my hero. And she like stood in this gym like, you know, it was like, oh my God, if that small town girl can do it, maybe I can too. So she was definitely like my biggest influence probably. But Martina, Sarah Evans, the Dixie Chicks, like all the, you know, Liam Womack, faith Hill, yeah, all that stuff. I had all those records on my karaoke machine and wore 'em out <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:38:38 I love that. But Speaker 3 00:38:39 I also, my dad, my dad also like, listened to a lot of like, um, he did, he loves Stevie Ray Vaughn and BB King and the Allman Brothers and Leonard Skynyrd. And so like, I got a good like southern rock education too, but for some reason like country music and especially like traditional country music has just done something to my soul ever since I was a little girl. So, Speaker 2 00:39:01 Yeah. And, and the nine, I mean the nineties country thing, like I said, it's, it really is like, I would say it's really comeback like seeing who's, who's charting right now and seeing who's like, like who people are really digging. Like, and, and even on the guys side with, with guys like Riley, you can say how, how Muscadines kind of got that traditional feel, how Luke brings that traditional feel. Like it's, it's gotta be cool to see the nineties style of country like coming back. Speaker 3 00:39:26 For sure. It feels good. It feels good. I just love, I think, I mean I love a little bit of it all to be honest. Like, I, I listen to country radio, um, well not as much as I used to cuz I'm just like, not in on the road a lot in, in the car, but like when I'm listening to country radio now, like I like it all honestly from, I love Sam Hunt's new record. Yeah. And I love like, but then I love Kip Moore and I love John party and I love Luke and like Muscat, you know, like I'll, I like it all but my heart like, I don't know, it just does something inside of me when it's like super traditional country. Like that's just what I don't know, it's just what I love the most. Yeah, Speaker 2 00:40:04 No, for sure. Um, so we, we always like to talk about food on here. I know we were talking about, um, we were talking about, um, trying not to gain a hundred pounds and stuff during quarantine, which has has been a challenge for me in Boudreaux here. You're still, you're looking, you're looking good. You don't look like, you don't look like you've gained any weight. You're looking great over, well thank you over Skype right now. Um, for you Mexican or hot chicken, what's your like Nashville staple? What do you like? Speaker 3 00:40:30 Um, Mexican. Mexican. Speaker 2 00:40:32 Do you miss Speaker 3 00:40:33 In some caseload? I mean I love hot chicken too, but I've like, I could eat Mexican every day and never get tired of it. Speaker 1 00:40:39 Same. Speaker 2 00:40:40 Yeah. Speaker 1 00:40:41 Yeah. Uh, my, um, my Mexican restaurant back home used to be like, if I was like at the end of the week and like something happened and I didn't have like, necessarily the money at the time, they'd be like, oh, we know you're coming back tomorrow, we'll put it on the tab. Speaker 2 00:40:53 <laugh> Speaker 3 00:40:54 Like Yeah. Well when we first moved to town, um, Cinco de Mayo and like lost Palmas and stuff, like I lived off that. Yeah. Like she Mexican, I mean I love authentic like, you know, but the cheap Mexican you can't beat especially like, no, not at all. On Tuesdays when the pictures of margaritas are half off makes it even better. Speaker 2 00:41:12 Oh yeah. Oh those margaritas can be dangerous for sure. I've seen Bojo getting wild on some margaritas before. Speaker 1 00:41:18 I don't do tequila anymore because the margaritas, Speaker 3 00:41:21 I know Speaker 1 00:41:22 Margaritas in Mexico, like I Speaker 3 00:41:23 Love, I love tequila, but tequila does not love me. Speaker 1 00:41:27 Yeah, yeah. Tequila ignites a party animal that I didn't know existed in me. Same. Speaker 3 00:41:31 Same. Speaker 1 00:41:32 So I, I stay away from that. Speaker 3 00:41:35 Yeah. I think it's the only thing that makes me mean, I think everybody is different, but like I can drink whiskey all night long and be just happy and, you know, nothing pisses me off, but I'll have like two shots of tequila and I'm ready to fight anyway for any reason. Speaker 1 00:41:50 Mine's not like I'm ready to watch out. Mine's not like I'm ready to fight, but mine is like, I just, it flips a switch where there is no boundaries anymore. And like right the last time I was in, last time I really drank tequila. I was in Mexico standing on a table screaming around songs at the top of my lungs and getting carried back to a cruise boat. So there we don't go there anymore. There Speaker 3 00:42:12 You go. I think, yeah, that might actually make a lot of sense now that I think about it. Cuz I had a lot of tequila on the Brantley cruise, so that might be why I was, why it was, uh, such an interesting trip. <laugh>. Yeah, Speaker 2 00:42:22 <laugh>. Yeah. Yeah. No, that, that's awesome. What's your, uh, Speaker 1 00:42:25 What's your favorite Mexican place in Nashville? Speaker 3 00:42:30 Um, I mean I love TexMex. I love just like Chewy. Yeah. Um, but I also, uh, rose Pepper in East Nashville. Speaker 1 00:42:39 I still haven't been there yet. Speaker 2 00:42:41 Yeah, I've heard of Rose, I've heard of Rose Pepper. I haven't been yet, but I heard that that's a spot that a lot of people tell me I gotta go. Speaker 3 00:42:48 Yeah, it is, it's, it's, it's the same way. It's like, it's changed. Like, it used to not be like, now you go on a Friday night, well not now, obviously, but after quarantine or before if you go on a Friday night, you're gonna have to wait. Like there's always a wait. But when I first moved to town it was, um, much more chill. But I mean, the food, the chips and their dip and their margaritas are the best. They're the best margaritas. Speaker 1 00:43:10 Yeah. I know one of my favorite places over in the east is Moss Tacos. I like that Speaker 3 00:43:14 A lot. Yeah. I haven't, I haven't been to that one. Speaker 1 00:43:16 Oh, it's really good. Um, it's very much traditional. Um, yeah, traditional tacos and all that kind of stuff. Um, another food place that I wanted to talk to you about, my favorite food place in Athens is Oh, doggone good barbecue. Speaker 3 00:43:32 See, I wonder how long that's even been there. That's because that's the annoying thing about when I go back to Athens. It does change. Yeah. Like the restaurants and stuff change so much. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:43:41 Uh, it's like, uh, I'm trying to remember. It was me and Justin, our bass player walked there and had barbecue. It was probably some of the best barbecue I've ever had. It was amazing. Yeah. But it's like three or four blocks away from Georgia Theater. Speaker 3 00:43:57 Okay. Yeah. Well I never had it in college. Not to say that it wasn't there, but I just know that like a lot of the, I mean the main bars obviously that are still there, but like even the bars change a lot and the restaurants. Yeah. Like my favorite, one of my favorite places downtown Athens was transmit. Um, but I don't even know if it's there anymore. <laugh>. Like, I, I feel like every time I go I'm like, that's not right. That was so-and-so that used to be so-and-so. I don't, Speaker 1 00:44:20 I feel like that happens a lot in college town. So I know a lot of friends that graduated from uh, Alabama and they like go back to Tuscaloosa now and I'm like, oh yeah, this place. And they're like, what's that? And I'll tell 'em, they're like, oh, it used to be. And then, yeah, you know, even with the place that we played the George City Music Hall. It used to be another music venue before Uh oh Yeah, yeah. Before. So it's even changed. Speaker 3 00:44:42 Yeah. The best barbecue in Nashville though. What do you think that is? Ooh. Speaker 1 00:44:47 Ooh. Um, I wanna say my, I'm gonna say two favorite places. Speaker 2 00:44:52 Oh, he's taking the cop out that don't count Speaker 1 00:44:55 <laugh>. Well, one place I don't go to a lot cause it's hard to go to. But I think that overall it has the best barbecue across the board. And that is Peg leg Porkers. Speaker 3 00:45:08 Yes, I've had Speaker 1 00:45:09 That. And then my second favorite. And it's the one that's easier to get to cause they have more locations than all is Martin's. Speaker 3 00:45:14 Martin's is my favorite. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:45:16 Yeah. I would, I would go Martin's and Peg leg as well. Speaker 1 00:45:18 I despise, at least Speaker 3 00:45:21 I don't despise it, but it's not, it's not as good to me as Martin's. But I will say Why do you despise it? Speaker 1 00:45:29 I don't know. It's just for me a lot of it. So I'm a pulled pork guy, but like, I also like brisket a lot too. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> and it's, Martin's Speaker 3 00:45:38 Has the best brisket Speaker 1 00:45:39 They do. But Ed Lee's a, they're brisket 95% of the time as dry as the desert <laugh>. But also their food as a whole. Like everything that I've had from there, I'll have like their chicken one time and I'll go back the next time and it's just not good. And I'll go back the next time and it's great. They're just not consistently good, Speaker 3 00:45:57 Consistent and no. And Martin's never disappoints Speaker 2 00:46:00 No. At any of their locations. It's always good. Oh, Martin's is old is Speaker 1 00:46:04 Good. I think the favorite thing though for me at peg legs is they have a burnt ends platter. Speaker 3 00:46:11 Oh. Speaker 1 00:46:12 And I'll Speaker 3 00:46:12 Have to Speaker 1 00:46:12 Try that. Yeah, that is probably cuz it's like the burnt end is like right next to the skin and all. And so you have like the burnt, a little bit of the burnt taste Boudro Speaker 2 00:46:20 On barbecue. You get him going. It don't stop. Oh Speaker 3 00:46:23 Lord. Sorry. Speaker 1 00:46:23 No, you're good. But then you have like the, I Speaker 3 00:46:25 Feel the same, so I'm like, let's just talk about barbecue the all time. Speaker 1 00:46:28 Yeah. But then you have the fat, a little bit of the fat layer and then you have the actual pork. And so it's like the most, it's the juiciest, the most flavorful like part of the pig. But, Speaker 3 00:46:39 Okay. Well I'm gonna have to try it when all this is over and I can go Speaker 2 00:46:43 To a rescue. Yeah. When this is over, we got, we gotta all go to peg leg together and try that. Let's do it. Try that burn end platter. Let's see. I always send people, because working, I was a door guy at um, at Whiskey Row for a while on Broadway and people would always ask, where's the barbecue? And they'd, everybody go, A lot of people go to Jack's on Broadway cuz it's right there. But I'm like, Hey, where like, cuz was Whiskey Rose on, on the corner of fourth. So what I would do, and depending on how, how intoxicated the person is, I'd, I'd have to really point. But it's Speaker 3 00:47:09 Like, if anything is gonna be good for you at this point, just walk right up to Jacks. Speaker 2 00:47:13 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or, or go. I mean, what I would do is, because you can see the, the, the sign for Martin's, Speaker 1 00:47:18 You have to pull out a telescope sometimes. But, Speaker 2 00:47:20 But you can see it. It's all the way down forth. Down down that, yeah. All the way down that street. I would, I would, I would literally, I'd take them, I'd turn 'em around, I'd see you see that blue sign all the way, way down. And they're like, yeah. I'm like, go down there. That's the best barbecue in Speaker 1 00:47:32 Town. Go find the, the spinning pig <laugh>. That's where Speaker 3 00:47:35 You need to. And that one hasn't been there, but for a few years. Right. The one that I, so I, a few years ago I lived over in the Belmont area. Yeah. By that like, literally that church that's across from that Martin's. Yeah. The Church of Christ or I don't know, I think it's, anyway, I, no, it's a Catholic anyway. Clearly I didn't go <laugh>, but I lived, um, on the street behind it. And I'm not kidding you. When I would walk outta my door, like to go to a right, I would smell Martin's like from them cooking that pig. And so I don't know how, I didn't gain a hundred pounds living over there cuz I wanted Martin's every day. It's just so good. Yeah. Speaker 1 00:48:08 The, and then there's the new one. I like the new location a lot too. Uh, do you remember like down Ellison next to the Parthenon? There's uh, yeah, there was that Logan's Roadhouse over there. Yeah. Well obviously Logan's like went out of business and everything, but uh, they put up a, uh, Martin's there and it has tons. Speaker 3 00:48:26 Oh, Speaker 1 00:48:26 Okay. Tons of parking. Like I've went there probably, I don't know, 10 times now since they opened it. There's never a line. It's never packed. That's nice. Speaker 2 00:48:35 Yeah. A hidden gem. A hidden gem. Good to know. The sneaky Martins <laugh>. Speaker 1 00:48:39 Also my favorite barbecue sandwich. And this place is one like, sorry, I, I have Mexican barbecue spots all over Nashville. Like, um, my favorite barbecue sandwich though, and like lunch place is over by the Parthenon. It's a place called, uh, hog heaven. I think it's or Hog Wild. It's one of those. But they have the sauce and it's one like best sauce in Nashville for almost a decade now, Speaker 3 00:49:05 But it's damn better than the Alabama white sauce in Martin's. See I'm like, yeah, Martin's is like my jam. Yeah. I'll have Speaker 1 00:49:11 To check that out. There's uh, their sandwich. It's like a sandwich inside and a drink and it comes out like seven or $8. Speaker 2 00:49:18 So like falling on a budget, which is what I'm all about. Yeah. And it's always, Speaker 1 00:49:21 It's literally a little white shack. And the first time like I walked up to it, I was like, yeah, gimme a barbecue san like a barbecue sandwich. Plain nothing on it. And they're like, all right, barbecue sandwich. No bun, no. And I was like, no, no bun. They're like, you said nothing on it. And I was like, all right. Smart ass <laugh>. Speaker 3 00:49:36 But I still want a sandwich, man. Yeah. Like it's not a sandwich without the bread Speaker 2 00:49:40 Of, of all the places you've been on the road place with the best food. Speaker 3 00:49:45 O I'm not a good person to ask. And this is why the blocks Rocky and Rey make fun of me. Cuz they're like faren, like I'm so, I will eat at a Chili's. Like I don't care. Like, and they're like, we're in New York City and they're like, fam we're not eating at Red Lobster <laugh>. Like it's, we're in New York City, like, we're getting pizza. So I'm not the best person to ask. Um, I love playing in Florida because you know, like fresh seafood. Yeah, Speaker 2 00:50:12 Yeah. Speaker 3 00:50:13 Um, trying, I mean, and on honestly, a lot of the shows we did were festival shows, so we ate there, you know. Yeah. So like festival food is not the same. Speaker 1 00:50:23 What's your go-to festival order? If you, if you're like looking for the ultimate Speaker 2 00:50:28 Festival food? I fit, I'm gonna take a guess that you're a corn dog Girl. Speaker 3 00:50:31 I love a good corn dog. I do love a good corn dog. But I mean, usually like most of those festivals have like, they either give you like tickets to go eat whatever, or you know, you have catering. So I try to do catering usually, but cuz there's like healthier options. But I do love a fried Oreo. Yep. I don't think we've ever played a festival that I haven't got a fried Oreo at. Speaker 1 00:50:49 I'm, I'm the same. I always go get a fried Oreo or a funnel cake. My favorite funnel cake, my favorite festival food you go find is whenever I find a place that has fried alligator on a stick. Speaker 3 00:50:59 Oh Speaker 1 00:51:00 Yeah. Speaker 2 00:51:01 <laugh>. We've played some interesting festivals. Speaker 1 00:51:04 <laugh> also, I'm from the same, I'm also from deep south Alabama, so that's like a staple. Speaker 2 00:51:08 Yeah. Yeah. Where was like, where was like a place that you went talking about interesting festivals and interesting places? For me it was Boaz, Alabama. That was for me a place that was very interesting. I had just started with the guys. I had never been also Speaker 1 00:51:21 The Speaker 2 00:51:21 Mud park. Yeah. And the mud part. We played a mud festival, um, a mud park in Leesville, Mississippi recently. It was actually one of our last one, our last show. It was our last show before all this quarantine stuff happened. And I got a lot of culture. It was an interesting place for me being a Yankee being down in Mississippi. And they took me out there with these guys from Louisiana that took me out in a, in a four by four and a side-by-side. And they had me going through these big mud holes and I was covered in mud. It was wild <laugh>. Yeah. Where was a place for you that was like an interesting spot? Speaker 3 00:51:49 I mean, um, me and Ray have played this uh, show in Connecticut for the last like three years. Um, and it's so funny cuz every time I go up north I'm like surprised by how many rednecks there's, Speaker 2 00:52:01 There, there are a lot. I and I, and being a, being a guy that was involved in the New York and the Jersey country scene, they're extra loud and proud because there's not as many of them. Like, they, like, we feel like we gotta have like a chip on our shoulder almost. When, when a lot of southerners like yourself come up and play, like, we gotta really show out. It's Speaker 3 00:52:19 Really weird because the Luke tour, when I did that with him, we did the northeast basically that was our whole, the my part of the tour. And that was some of the first time I ever played like Boston or you know, um, and it was always surpri cuz I, I remember being like, did these people I, that shows how like uncultured I am cuz I'm from Georgia, but I was like, you know, I think like up north I'm like, these people even like country music, you know? Yeah. But it was like, it was like those shows were crazier than any that we played in Georgia or Alabama or whatever. And I think it's because, I don't know, it's like maybe there's not as much of it up, up there. Speaker 2 00:52:53 I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. We, it's a, it's a treat whenever we get, especially when it's somebody that's more, more on the country countryside, you know? Like Yeah. Like for us, like people will come out to see like somebody like yourself, somebody like the Cadillac three, somebody that's really got like that, that country almost that, that redneck like southern vibe. Yeah. Because we don't, we don't get it. And yet it gets over, it gets overlooked. Where in new have you played in New York before? Speaker 3 00:53:19 Yeah, we played, um, Verona, New York. We played with Brantley Gilbert. Speaker 2 00:53:23 That's the casino, right? Speaker 3 00:53:26 Yeah. And that was, it was really nice. Uh, what was it, um, what was the name of that casino? I'm the worst. Speaker 2 00:53:32 Is it Turn, is it Turn Turning Point Casino or Turning something? Speaker 3 00:53:35 Turning Stone or something? Turning Speaker 2 00:53:36 Stone. Stone. Yeah. Okay. Speaker 3 00:53:37 I can't remember. Um, we've done a lot of casino shows. We did a lot of casino shows with Dwight Yoakum too. I love casino gigs. That's probably like, I I love them. Speaker 2 00:53:46 Are you, are you someone that'll get out on the floor and play, play some of the tables, play some of the slots? I'm Speaker 3 00:53:50 Really, I'm really not much of a gambler because you have to have money to gamble. But Speaker 2 00:53:55 I <laugh> I feel that, but Speaker 3 00:53:56 I would, but I would hang out with my friends that do, or like with some of the guys in the band that like to gamble and I would just drink the free drinks <laugh>. But, um, I love that you can smoke inside a casino. Yes. Like, it feels like, like a old honky tonk, you know? And then the crowds are always, I don't know, those shows were just, they always treat you really nice and it's nice like, you know, how we travel in the van and stuff. It's nice that usually you get to stay there and don't have to like Speaker 2 00:54:20 Yeah. You've played Mohe. You, you've played Mohegans son, right? Connecticut? Yes. The Wolf's den, right? Yes. Speaker 3 00:54:26 Yep. Yeah, that place was crazy. Speaker 2 00:54:28 Yeah, we were there. We played a, we played the New England Food Truck Festival and we didn't know what, what exactly it was gonna be all about. We ended up being in a parking lot outside. And while that was going on there, um, Eli Young was at the wolf's den that same night, and then Shawn Mendez was inside the arena. So they had like three or four big, like three or four things going on at once. And that's just the, the, um, the crowd that was out there. It was, it was interesting walking around that casino because there were people that were there, like people, we call them mass holes, Massachusetts folks. They go by like mass holes. That's the flag that they carry. Um, we always, that's how there were like a lot of those folks that were in town for the food truck festival, but then all the pop people in for the sha Mendes and all like the teenagers and then I thought it was crazy. Speaker 3 00:55:12 Yeah, Speaker 2 00:55:13 Yeah, yeah. It was pretty wild. So Boudreau's got sewn up here. So you have a Twitter account, right? You're on Twitter? Speaker 1 00:55:18 Oh yeah. Speaker 3 00:55:18 Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. I'm not, I'm probably the least active on Twitter. Oh God, what is it? Speaker 1 00:55:22 Oh no, this is our favorite segment Speaker 2 00:55:23 Least so, so Tyler's got, um, a few Twitter trolls that he has a few accounts, he's got his own account. We've got a podcast account. Tyler's got an account where he goes on and just likes to roast things and roast people. He's not gonna do that to you, but he likes to Speaker 1 00:55:36 Pull up. Yeah, I don't that for you. You're welcome. No. Speaker 2 00:55:41 Um, but he likes to read off tweets from our guests and stuff, so he's got your daughter pulled up right Speaker 1 00:55:45 Now. Oh God. Ok. So we're gonna read off some tweets of Miss Fair and Rachel's, if making a grilled cheese every single night during quarantine is wrong, I'll never be Right. <laugh>. Speaker 3 00:55:58 It is a true story. Speaker 1 00:55:59 True story. Yeah. There was a true, that was the truth up here for a little bit Speaker 2 00:56:03 Too. Yeah. We were eating, we were eating lots of grilled cheese sandwiches up here when we first got up here for sure. Well, I don't have Speaker 3 00:56:08 My mama cooking me pasta, so. Speaker 1 00:56:10 Yeah, Speaker 2 00:56:10 Yeah, I know. But like I, that's, I mean, she, she may or may not have been making the grilled cheeses as well, so <laugh>. Okay, Speaker 3 00:56:17 There you go. Speaker 1 00:56:19 Yeah. Um, he's Speaker 2 00:56:21 Dig, he's digging out. Oh, what's that one? Oh, that's a retweet. Yeah. Yeah. Oh Lord. There's a funny me on there. Speaker 1 00:56:26 Okay, here's a good one. Tiger King is the craziest shit I've ever seen Speaker 2 00:56:31 <laugh>, and I'm sure you've seen some, you Speaker 1 00:56:33 And Matt can talk about that as I go digging a little bit Speaker 2 00:56:34 Farther. I'm sure. Yeah, I mean, we talked about it on, on the live stream. We did the social distancing sessions a couple weeks back, which thank you for doing the, doing that again. Of course. We really course appreciate it of Tiger King was pretty wild. I want more of it. Like, I want more, I wanna see, Speaker 3 00:56:47 I know when they released, I think it was the day that we, um, did the live stream. They had just put out the like one more episode or whatever, but it wasn't, uh, like, it was not the same. It just, I didn't even, I tried to start it, but it was like, there's no new information, there's no, like, it was just, you know. But, um, I watched Tiger King like literally the day it came on Netflix and I think it took like a couple weeks obviously for people to start talking about it and all. And so I was like tweeting about it and I think I made like stories on Instagram. I told all my friends about it and everybody was like, what the hell are you talking about? And I was like, I know it sounds insane. I was like, but this is real life. These are real people. Yeah. Um, so I don't know. Tiger King has like, that was definitely the highlight of the beginning of my quarantine. See I've Speaker 2 00:57:30 Watched it twice. See you've watched it twice. See, I've thought about restarting it cuz I've been looking for shit to Speaker 3 00:57:34 Watch. Well, the time I watched it, the first time I watched it, to be completely honest, I was, um, pretty high. I, so I felt like <laugh>. Yeah. So I was like, this can't, like when I was thinking about it the next day I was like, was I like making half that shit up or like, you know, so then I watched it completely sober after <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:57:54 Yeah. And like a part of me wants to check one of those, like wants to go to a park like that just to see what it's actually like. Like, and there's one of them in Myrtle Beach. Like, I want like, like that doc anal guy. Um, yeah. That's in Myrtle. He, he posts all of his shit on Instagram and like, I started following him and just randomly, there'll be a picture of like him in a pool, like holding a liger, like a, like a baby. Like, like just holding like a jungle cat. They're Yeah, they're crazy. Speaker 3 00:58:21 I don't really know how I feel about it. It's like, yeah, it would be cool to go see that or whatever. But then I, I don't know, believe it or not, I'm like the, I don't know, the I'm, I worry about the animals. Speaker 2 00:58:32 Yeah. No, no, no. And I, and I totally get that. And me and me and Bojo are here. Were actually like pricing out what it, what it costs to go to one of these parks. It is expensive too, like Speaker 1 00:58:42 Yeah. To go to see Speaker 3 00:58:43 That's how they're all so rich. Yes. Insane. Speaker 1 00:58:45 To go see the one in Myrtle Beach I think is like $500 a person. Speaker 2 00:58:49 And that doesn't include pictures. Speaker 3 00:58:50 Right. Anything up too after, I bet you it went up after this documentary too. Speaker 2 00:58:54 Oh yeah. For sure. I'm sure. I mean, just like they're, they're cashing in on it. And then Poor Joe exotics in, in jail and freaking Carol Baskins still hanging out after killing her husband. Speaker 3 00:59:05 I know, I know. But I will say, like, we talked about this when I watched Live Stream. I just don't know, like every time I watch a Netflix documentary, which I love 'em, but it's always interesting to afterwards to like actually do some research and stuff and see how they presented it versus like, sometimes the facts are not, you know what I mean? It's just, yeah. It's entertainment. So it's like any other show, even though it's a documentary or whatever, it's like they've decided on a, a storyline. You know? Can you see me? Sorry, somebody just Speaker 2 00:59:33 Yeah, Speaker 3 00:59:34 Yeah. Tried to call me. Um, anyway, so I'm like, who knows if she did, I mean they definitely made it seem like that, but like, remember Making a Murderer. Yeah. Um, that documentary. I remember being like, how in the world is this man in jail? Like, he should not have been convicted. And like, apparently a ton of other people thought that too. And then when you really did some research, it was like, oh, they, like, not everything was included in the documentary, you know what I mean? Speaker 2 00:59:58 Yeah. They can be selective with how they're making it and what they share with you and stuff. Yeah. What's that tattoo on your arm? I've never noticed that before. Speaker 3 01:00:06 Oh, this one is a Trisha Yearwood lyric. It says, had this dream from a tender age. It's from Wrong Side of Memphis by Trisha Yearwood. Speaker 2 01:00:15 Oh, that's awesome. That's badass. Yeah. I wanna, I want, I gotta get a tattoo soon. Everybody's always surprised that I don't have a tattoo. Speaker 3 01:00:22 Yeah, you did. You seem like a tattoo guy. Speaker 2 01:00:24 Yeah. And all. And my roommates have him too. My roommate Ethan's got like his whole fricking arm done and shit. So I gotta I gotta get on that. You got another two? Speaker 1 01:00:32 Yeah. Yeah, I got a couple more. All right. Ready? Oh guys. Yeah. So it's from April 28th, 2019. Speaker 2 01:00:41 So about, so about this time last year. Yeah. Speaker 3 01:00:43 Yeah. Yeah. See I'm really bad at Twitter. It probably didn't take that long to scroll back cuz I forget that Twitter is there so I don't tweet a lot. Speaker 1 01:00:49 It, it actually took a while. You rewe a lot too. That's Yeah. Uh, at the beach watching a dad and son packing up their stuff to leave while carrying a cooler surfboard umbrella, et cetera. The dad yells at his son, can you maybe grab something? I'm not an octopus, so I'm running outta hands if I'm ever a parent. This is the kind I aspire to be. Speaker 2 01:01:10 <laugh>. Speaker 3 01:01:11 I think that's when we were on the road. I think the blocks were with me. I think we played maybe in Pensacola or something. Um Speaker 1 01:01:17 Oh, the hometown. Speaker 3 01:01:19 Yeah. And this single, or like he looked like, seemed like a single dad trying to carry all this shit. That was so funny. We were, I think we spent a lot of time laughing at him dropping all this shit and all Speaker 2 01:01:28 <laugh>. That's funny. And Speaker 1 01:01:29 Then one last one, this is for more recent. Unfortunately the following is a real life question. I just texted to a friend. You shouldn't put aluminum foil on the microwave, right. <laugh>. <laugh>. Speaker 2 01:01:40 And what's the hashtag say Speaker 1 01:01:41 Hashtag. Why am I like this <laugh>? Speaker 3 01:01:45 Yeah. Um, my friends make fun of me. I don't cook at all. And like the microwave, you would think I would know what can go in and outta the microwave because that's all I've used. But I think that was really high again and I think I had a pop-tart, so, and I think I was considering putting the pop-tart in the wrapper in the microwave. Speaker 2 01:02:04 I've, I've been there. I I know exactly where you're coming from with late, late night little hazy in the head. Throw want throw the top Speaker 3 01:02:11 Tar. Yeah. Like do I really need to take the wrapper off Speaker 1 01:02:13 <laugh>? So Matt, I have personally watched him burn about everything You can burn in a, a little coaster oven. But it's funny, there's a page I follow on Instagram, it's called Boys Who Can Cook. And it's like the most like atrocious cooking things ever. Oh God. And I always send it to like, we have like a muscadine uh, Instagram like group chat thing and I always send it to them. And I was like, at Matt, if he had to cook during this quarantine <laugh>, Speaker 3 01:02:39 I was gonna say they would probably admit me into that. Speaker 2 01:02:42 I, I'd be, I'd be so, I'd be so screwed. It would be, it'd be bad once, once I got a, once I gotta go back down to Tennessee and start cooking again. Fortunately my roommates can cook so Yeah. Well Speaker 3 01:02:52 My roommates can cook and my best friends are like, a lot of my friends are really good cooks so I'm lucky cuz I get like home cooked meals from them. But my mom was a great cook and she was so great that it was almost intimidating cuz I never like wanted to be in the kitchen with her and be like, how do you do that? Um, and also she was like, I don't think she wanted me to try cuz she knew I would screw up her, her vibe or whatever. But yeah, also I'm just like really bad about not doing things that I'm not naturally really good at. And I know cooking is something you just have to learn. So I just have stayed away from it basically. Speaker 1 01:03:24 She, in college, when I first moved to Nashville, I moved up here in 2013 and the first summer I think I went back home. But after that, like I stayed in Asheville and I lived by myself in an apartment on campus and like our cafeteria was closed. Like just, it was one of those things that like, I worked weird hours so like I had to learn to cook for myself cuz there was nothing open whenever I was hungry. And uh, you know, you can only eat so many McDonald's hamburgers and Speaker 2 01:03:55 No, you can never eat enough McDonald's dollar cheeseburgers at three in the morning from the McDonald's on Broadway at, Speaker 1 01:04:01 At the time I was working like 12 hour shifts, like walking like 15 to 20 miles a day. So like there was a point that like McDonald's wasn't enough anymore. So I started like really cooking for myself. And if it wasn't for that summer and for like living by myself that summer, I wouldn't know how to cook. But it came to a point of I got tired of spending money on food. Yeah. And cooking seemed like the best option to alleviate some of that. Yeah, well I cook, Speaker 3 01:04:25 I cook is my cook version of cooking is like putting a lot of like chicken in the crop pot. Yeah. And cooking enough for like all week. So like I'm meal prep like that. But I'm just saying like compared to my friends who actually cook, I can not cook. Like I can bake things obviously, like I can do a casserole or whatever, but anything like fancy count me out. Speaker 1 01:04:45 One of my favorite fancy dishes is I do a really good seafood risotto with Speaker 3 01:04:49 Some. So yeah, I would never be able to do Speaker 1 01:04:50 Anything with a uh, with a swordfish steak. What? Yeah, swordfish. You can buy it, it's like $12 a pound at Kroger. But if you go to a restaurant it's like 25 to $45. So you make money, buy, cooking it yourself. Yeah. And it's really good cut of meat, Speaker 3 01:05:05 Huh? Good to know. Old sources. Speaker 2 01:05:08 Old Chef Bora over here. So you got a new song out. Um, you got smoke and uh mm-hmm <affirmative>. We're su we're super stoked about it. What's the story behind this new one and um, is there more new music that's gonna be coming out because we're ready for more fair. And Rachel's, I think everybody's speaks. Thank you. I think I speak for everybody in that the world can't get enough enough new music from you. Speaker 3 01:05:26 Thank you. Uh, thank you. This one we actually recorded, I mean probably summer, late summer of last year. Um, and uh, it's one of the first ones that I've put out that I didn't write myself. But um, my best friend Nicolette Hayford and Haley Witters and Jake Mitchell wrote it and like the day I think Nicolette sent it to me, like the day they wrote it cuz she probably knew, you know, she knows me so well. She was like, dog you're gonna love this song. And I did. I was obsessed with it. Like I used to make the blocks and like all everybody that was out with me on the road, we listened to the demo that they did like all the time on the road. And anyway, um, it was on hold by like a couple big artists that I was like waiting to hear if I could cut it. Speaker 3 01:06:08 And when they finally took it off hold I was like, can I please do it now? So we went in, recorded it and um, Rocky produced it, well played a little bit on everything on it and produced it with Jeff Garrison and uh, like Weston played guitar and uh, Grady played drums and it was just really cool cuz in the past when I've recorded music, um, we use session players, you know, for like, for people that don't live in Nashville. Like basically a lot of the music that you hear on radio is the same players, you know, that play on the record and then their band plays the shows live. But it was really cool to have the dudes that have been in my band play on it. So it was fun and we laughed a lot. It was just the most fun I've ever had recording a song. Speaker 3 01:06:53 And um, I don't know, this song just means a lot to me cuz uh, it's basically, you know, he don't even know that I smoke. Like how can I tell him everything about me when he doesn't even know that I smoke? And um, I just, the first time I heard it I was like, oh shit, this is so me. I feel like in relationships in the past and even now, it's hard for me to like be honest with people about who I really am. Cuz the truth is it's a shit show and it's like I'm trying to do better but I've at this point in my life just kind of accepted this is who I am. And so like in past relationships I've always felt like I had to like, I don't know, like hide who, how crazy I really am. So, um, I don't know. It's about, you know, um, just hiding your demons I guess. And I think we've all all been there, so Oh Speaker 2 01:07:42 A absolutely. I've been there for sure. Yeah, for sure. And uh, and we're, we're really digging it. We're so, so happy that you put this one out. So what's the deal for the rest of 2020 once we get outta quarantine shows potentially new music, what do we got? Speaker 3 01:07:55 Well that's the thing like now it's so hard to answer that cuz I don't know. I mean we had, you know, shows we had a couple with y'all booked and I had a festival this summer, like just random stuff. But everything's getting rescheduled right now and the more people I talk to, like, um, friend of mine, driver Williams plays for Eric Church and he was saying like, which I know obviously those type size venues are different than what I'm playing, but they don't think they're gonna be out until next year. Yeah. You know, so it's like, I don't know how it's gonna work, like with the size venues we're playing. Maybe we can be back at it by the fall. I don't, I don't really know. But yeah, as soon as they start booking them again, I'll be playing more. I just don't have anything like up on my schedule or anything right now cuz everything's getting moved around. But, um, I'm definitely, I mean I have to be completely honest, I have, I could make a record right now like with songs that I love and want to, but it costs a lot of money and I'm an independent artist and so I'm trying to uh, figure all that out. So Speaker 2 01:08:51 Yeah. Speaker 3 01:08:52 But there's definitely gonna be some more, some more music in a couple months, so hell Speaker 2 01:08:56 Yeah. We can't, we can't wait for that. We're super stoked and uh, thank, thank you Baron. Thanks. Thanks for hanging out with us, taking time outta your thank y'all. Taking time outta your busy quarantine schedule. I mean I was out and chat with us. Busy Speaker 3 01:09:07 <laugh>. Yeah, no, thank y'all for asking me. Y'all are awesome. I love that y'all do this and it's cool to just like have a hang and just chat. Speaker 2 01:09:14 Yeah, it's good to just see people even if it's over, even if it's over a computer screen or over a phone screen just to see other people and shoot the shit for a little bit and hang out. You know, we, we, I miss, I miss hanging out and haven't having a same, I miss having a smoke and hanging out with yet losers, you know, like, I mean same like, like that that post whiskeys jam or of like just hanging out, you know. I Speaker 3 01:09:36 Know, I know. We'll be back to it one day. Hopefully people are bored enough right now that they'll listen to us talk about barbecue and putting a aluminum fool in the microwave. Speaker 2 01:09:44 <laugh>. Yeah, hopefully everybody goes out there, gets themselves, uh, gets themselves some Martin's barbecue and uh, gets Yep. And yeah, doesn't put the uh, aluminum foil in that microwave. Um, I gotta remember that cuz it, that, that has popped into my head before about putting the whole Pop-tart in the, in the microwave. Speaker 3 01:10:00 Yeah, well I'm like, it's not that big. It's not, it can't do that much damage. Real. I think it Speaker 2 01:10:03 Think it real, real quick. Fav frav favorite flavor of Pop-Tart favorite kind of pop-tart. Speaker 3 01:10:09 The cinnamon brown sugar, cinnamon, whatever it is. Speaker 1 01:10:13 I think that's a consensus on everybody except for me. Speaker 3 01:10:17 I mean what's yours? Speaker 1 01:10:19 I grew up on the chocolate fudge. The frosted chocolate fudge. Speaker 3 01:10:23 Okay, those are awesome. Speaker 1 01:10:24 And you put it in the microwave for like 10 to 12 seconds and get it kind of gooey with some chocolate milk. Perfect. Speaker 3 01:10:32 Yeah, that, that one and the s'mores, those are like a closest second and third also Speaker 1 01:10:36 The, just the regular chocolate chip unfrosted. It's the only Unfrosted that's acceptable. He Speaker 2 01:10:41 Eats the Unfrosted pop tar. Yeah. Crazy. Speaker 1 01:10:43 Just, just a chocolates joke. That's the only acceptable one. The people that say that Unfrosted Strawberry is a good Pop-tart, they gotta screw loose somewhere, you know, Speaker 3 01:10:51 I'm not a big strawberry fan, period. Frost are unfrosted, but Speaker 2 01:10:55 Yeah, so Pop we'll be, we'll be hanging out at Red Door and Losers before we know it. We'll be eating some Pop-Tarts together before we know it. I'll bring some Pop-Tarts. Yeah, no, well, oh, I, we'll we'll bring the Pop-Tarts, we'll bring all the, all the good stuff and uh, definitely be hanging out.

We're they're, Speaker 1 01:11:19 They're kinda the same thing where they smoke their stuff every day, so, you know. Okay.
