Speaker 0 00:01:21 What is going on y'all? Welcome back to Outside The Round with me, Matt Barell. Today we have got a very special guest, a longtime member of the Raise Rowdy family, um, a great personality here in Nashville, an amazing songwriter artist. Y'all know her. Hannah Damn Dasher girl. Hello. How you doing girl?
Speaker 3 00:01:38 Hey Hall, thank you for having me. Good to
Speaker 0 00:01:40 See you. Yeah, of course. I'm glad you could fit us into your busy schedule. You are all over the place, like just overrated going and going. What have you been up to? What was, well, first of all, how was this weekend? I saw you were involved with the Grand Prix and
Speaker 3 00:01:51 Yes. Well, I, I was filming and playing shows in South Carolina, North Carolina, so I was
Speaker 0 00:01:56 Oh, okay.
Speaker 3 00:01:57 I was, uh, filming some content with the Cornbread Cowboy.
Speaker 0 00:02:00 Okay. Yeah. God bless you. Cornbread. We love you Orly. I
Speaker 3 00:02:02 Love it. So lots of fun stuff coming up there, but playing shows. This is my first headlining tour, the Tall Boy tour. Let's go and yeah. Yeah. Just, uh, doing the damn thing.
Speaker 0 00:02:12 Yeah. We love that. And, um, talk about doing the damn thing. And you've been your first headlining tour. You've been out and you've gotten to open up for all kinds of different artists over the years, and I think where you first came into the first got connected with Nikki t and the Ray Rowdy folks up there in Pittsburgh and Ohio with Cadillac three. Correct. Being out with the TC Three Boys, um, what were those days like? 'cause that's looking back, you've been in town for a little while, like what was I
Speaker 3 00:02:34 Have been general. I miss those days, uh, every day, honestly. Uh, Cadillac three is one of my favorite live bands of all time. Like, and I've seen everybody, like, I've seen Petty and I've seen The Rolling Stones and, and I literally ranked them up there with like Kid Rock the Stones, like, as far as entertainers go. Um, but yeah, I miss those days a lot. And then, you know, COVID kinda shut everything down and I wasn't on the road at all. But, um, I have been blessed to do like a few shows here with Skynyrd and a few shows with Hank or, you know, a few shows with Reba. I've never actually been on a tour. Uh, so, uh, I created my own tour, the, the tailgate tour a year or two ago. Yeah. And, uh, where I kind of crashed the parking lots of like John Party and Brothers Osborne in Eric Church. And, uh, made a little money doing that, believe it or not. And then, uh, but now it's the Tallboy tour. It's my own dang. My own dang thing. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:03:24 And you're going all over the place with that tour, right? Yes,
Speaker 3 00:03:26 Out west and, uh, Montana and everywhere. Idaho <laugh>.
Speaker 0 00:03:31 I see. Idaho's one of the states I haven't been to, 'cause I've been all over the place with my years of doing the, the tour manager thing. Doing the merch selling thing and the, like that big Sky country, the, the Yellowstone Air is a Lainey Wilson country now, if you will, with with sure. With that, with how big Sky Country is and stuff. I haven't been out that way. So Idaho I'm sure will be fun for you. We got, yeah,
Speaker 3 00:03:49 Wyoming, all that. I mean, I'm headlining a festival over there. Oh, really? And I went with my buddy, um, uh, Jesse Daniel's gonna be on, uh, on the bill too. He's great. Nice. And, uh, but yeah, just, uh, going, going where the money is, honey.
Speaker 0 00:04:04 That's, that's what you gotta do. Yeah. And talk about Covid being in a weird spot, like doing, you're doing the artist thing and you're on the road and you're putting music out and all of a sudden the world fucking shuts down, which by the way, you can cuss on you. You're more than welcome too. This, I see this is, this is a cussing podcast here. Outside the round, you can say drink whatever you wanna do. Um, but then Covid hits and a lot of artists, a lot of folks just all over the world had to pivot. And it seems like you pivoted as well as anyone. And 'cause you've always been a personality. Like when I think of Hannah Damn Dasher, I'm like, I'm gonna smoke. I'm, I'm gonna bum a cig. I'm gonna smoke a cig with Hannah Dasher. I might, I might go out in the parking lot, smoke some greeny. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna hear a story. I'm gonna hear about something crazy that's like, I'm gonna have, I'm gonna have a good time with you outside of scoreboards out there behind the Nashville Palace, like all this stuff. And then now for the world to get to see your personality and you're authentically you, like you're your own damn thing. And I love that. I don't know
Speaker 3 00:04:59 Who else to be.
Speaker 0 00:05:00 Yeah. Honest, honestly. And it's like now you've, you've used, you've utilized social media and as strong of a way as anybody has in country music or music in general to kind of develop this, the, the character of who you really are. And now the whole world sees it, and you get all these comments, you get all these shares and you pop up on TV shows, and you're working with all these different people. The last few years have to have been pretty freaking crazy for you, huh?
Speaker 3 00:05:25 Not the route that I foresaw for myself, but, um, ever so grateful I was on Rachel Ray today. That aired again, was
Speaker 0 00:05:32 Fun. Yeah, I saw, I
Speaker 3 00:05:33 Saw that. Anyway, and I just, um, but, uh, I was kind of getting slept on where I was at, at the label, and I thought, okay, what can I do to showcase my personality? And so I just tried to capitalize on the TikTok thing and cut a few jokes and, um, and, uh, it took off. Who knew that it would, but, uh, but it's, it's really been great. You know, some artists have a big managing team there. They have a lot of money behind them, them or both. And so it's great to get those kind of opportunities there. Or you're, you know, maybe an artist that moves to town and you're in a brotherhood, you know, like, like Luke Bryan and, and Cole Swindle, and which, it's Cole Swindle.
Speaker 0 00:06:08 <laugh> Swindle Swindle.
Speaker 3 00:06:11 That's how I've always known him back in the Georgia Days. Yeah. Love him. But you know what I mean? Which it's great to have a brotherhood like that, but, you know, I, I didn't have anything like that. And so I thought, okay, um, what can I utilize to my advantage, uh, to kind of pave my own way? And so, uh, so yeah, just, that's what I'm doing with my, with my little steam rollers trying to grill my own path out over here.
Speaker 0 00:06:32 Well, I'd say you're, you're carving a damn, you're making a damn highway for yourself. Thank you. And there's, and there's young artists that are, that are looking up to you and that are, are coming up and seeing, being a, being a female strong personality. Females, like nineties and early two thousands we had that. And then there was Tomato Gate and all this shit, and then things changed for a while. And, but now it's like, there are the, the strong will powerful, confident female doing the, doing the damn thing, singing about all kinds of topics. Like, and you're kind of helping pave the way for that. I think in the year 2023. You're sweet. What's coming, right. No, and I, and I mean that like, 'cause there are a lot of young artists, like girls like Ella Langley that are coming out right now. I was like, Mike Brownly, like that are coming up. And I'm like, they have that, that strong personality. But you were one of the first people I remember seeing in town, because I moved here 2018, which you got here when?
Speaker 3 00:07:18 2012 what? 2011.
Speaker 0 00:07:20 2011. So yeah, you were here when all the tomato gate shit happened and when it was, I was, when it was tough. Really tough. It still is tough, but when it was really tough being a female in this town and trying to do the country music thing, well,
Speaker 3 00:07:31 I kind of have Reba's philosophy and all that. Uh, I've always considered myself one of the boys. And, you know, if you're gonna put out whiny music, if I can't put it on my workout mix, I'm not gonna listen to it, you know? Yeah. If I can't play it when I'm entertaining, I'm not gonna listen to it. And I've just always gravitated towards, you know, man music if you will. Nothing against women, because I'm obsessed with Aretha and you know, Reba, people like that. But I, uh, but as far as an entertainer goes, and as far as, you know, really, uh, doing what's true to me and what I, what I think will appeal to, you know, to the masses, uh, you know, I just, I have to do what I do. And, uh, Reba cut upbeat songs in a world where women were singing ballads, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 00:08:10 And, um, I, uh, I just, if a song was ever pitched to me that was kind of whiny or, you know, I, that, that's not my style. Yeah. There's a place for that, I'm sure. But I don't know, I just, I think the artist has to marry the music. And, um, when you're thick fired and bold and, uh, unapologetic, uh, I believe your music's gotta showcase that. And when I discovered Eric Church in college, um, and that center's like me record, it really gave me permission to be myself. I'm like, okay, this guy is from the East coast, like me. He talks like me. And, uh, and I'm so blessed to get to write with guys like that, with Spillman and Casey Beford and Yeah. Um, and so that's what folks can expect on this, uh, project coming out.
Speaker 0 00:08:54 Let's go. I'm, I'm excited for, for the
Speaker 3 00:08:56 Project in the next coming out after that. Woo.
Speaker 0 00:08:59 Hell yeah. I love that you got stuff in the tank and you talk about Eric Church talks like the way you talk, you have a country accent, and I love that. And I've started to sound, like I said, um, I did, um, I was hanging out with, with Trey, Trey Lewis, who love Birmingham Darlingham talks, very country. And then, um, my buddy Nick Haynes, who's from, uh, who's another Georgia, Georgia guy, um, I've heard of Nick and they talk very country, and I, I said the phrase reckon, I was like, I reckon I'll do that. I was, let's go. And I was like, wait a second, guys. I'm, I'm starting to say reckoning and y'all fixing this Yeah. Fixing too. And it helps that I'm, I'm dating, dating sweet Erin from Charleston. She's
Speaker 3 00:09:35 A doll baby. I love
Speaker 0 00:09:36 Her. Yeah. She says that you, you invite her to church and stuff, which is cool
Speaker 3 00:09:39 At the bar. Yeah. We're at the bar having drink at the bar. Yeah. I was like, yeah, I'm gonna church. So you wanna come <laugh>? Well, I go to Mount Zion. I mean, my, I I stick out like the double cream in a, a cream in a double Oreo, if that makes sense. Yeah. So, uh, oh. Yeah. But it's a lot of fun. But she's a doll baby.
Speaker 0 00:09:54 Yeah. Why Mount Zion? What is it about that church? I didn't grow up, I grew up like out like Episcopalian, which is like kind of being Catholic. They say it's like being Catholic, but you can smoke. That's like how my parents described it. It's like a less informal or a more informal way of Catholicism. So I didn't grow up in the Bible belt and grow up where there's a different kind of church on every corner. Right. So what is it about about Mount Zion?
Speaker 3 00:10:15 That's a good question. Well, uh, I just tend to connect with, uh, soul with, uh, the music for one is just insane. I have a black rhythm section for the most part. Like in my band, you know, my drummer is the best. I, I just, I think a Black Gospel trained drummer is the best hank's that way. He likes to keep a good greasy rhythm section in his band. Um, the music is just so soulful, it just speaks to me. And then the message that the preaching, you know, like, like soul preachers are not afraid to say, you know, or to talk about clubbing and having sex and marijuana behind the pulpit, things like that. You know what I mean? Yeah. Whereas what we grew up in, like in the Lutheran Church, the Episcopalian church, it's, uh, very straight laced, very, uh, you know, it kind of, it lightly brushes on subjects, but it doesn't really, you know, it's not really life application. It's not, it's not in your face. Like a Black Mama's gonna slap you all up and tell you how you're wrong. Yeah. And I, you know, I, I just enjoy that direct, honest way of worship. And, uh, and not to mention the way they dress, you know, I just, I feel very accepted and very, I mean, my big hoops and my big hair and
Speaker 0 00:11:22 Let's go.
Speaker 3 00:11:22 But those are my people. I love 'em so much.
Speaker 0 00:11:24 Mm-hmm. Makes me think of the Blues Brothers. Hell, Leo. I used to think of Soul Man and the Blues Brothers. Yeah. There's John Belushi Bopp and Dan Arod just bopping around. Yeah. I, and growing up, growing up in South Georgia, you've, I, I always say that there's folks, there's just something in the water in the state of Georgia, and it crosses over into, and, and I mean, it's everywhere. But if you talk about country music, which is the history of music in America, you have to talk about the state of Georgia, and particularly South Georgia. My favorite place to go on tour when I was with Trey was Statesboro, Georgia. Lord, of
Speaker 3 00:11:54 Course, it was
Speaker 0 00:11:55 As a single man. All
Speaker 3 00:11:56 College Hoochies.
Speaker 0 00:11:56 Yes. Oh yeah. Oh, oh, my, the, the er county, the dick down in Dallas tour has always done very well at the Blue Room in Statesboro, Georgia. Mm-hmm. We call it God's country. But I've gotten to go to Savannah a couple times too. And I haven't been to Charleston yet. Aaron and I have a trip planned there in November. But I've been to, been to Savannah and been to, um, what was the venue called? Saddlebags. Saddlebags. Oh. Where we went to, oh God. I played there with the
Speaker 3 00:12:18 Cadillac
Speaker 0 00:12:18 Parade before. Yep. We did Saddlebag and then, um, barrel House South was the other venue that we went there. But just growing up in, in an area like that where you have all that history and you had the cobblestone roads, and you have the water right there, it's just sort of like scenic and beautiful. Like New York is like a rat race and it's fucking chaos. But like the deep south, there's just this, this vibe and it's just beautiful. Like, what was it like growing up in South Georgia in a place like Savannah? Well,
Speaker 3 00:12:44 I mean, I'm, I'm seventh generation. Wow. So my people have been there on that land, uh, for, since, uh, they settled the colony. Wow. Anyhow. And said, I've got bullets. Like I'm a big historian, I love country music, rock and roll history and American history, and I've got like bullets, uh, in my crio cabinet from, uh, both Wars, revolutionary War and Civil War, fought on Family Land Wow. And all. And so, uh, it's, there's a, there's a deep pride that, uh, that comes with that. And it's one of the reasons I connected so well with Lynyrd Skynyrd growing up because, you know, they were just so proud to be from the South. And, um, and the music was just fucking awesome. And, uh, I don't know. It's a, it's, I wouldn't wanna grow up anywhere else. I mean, hell, my first work was Tractor <laugh>. Really? Yeah. I lost my virginity into Cotton Field. I mean, you really can't make all that up. Stairway Hill was in the background, <laugh>, bless it. And then I sang at that guy's wedding, actually, as a matter of
Speaker 0 00:13:41 Yes. That's awesome. Full circle. Right.
Speaker 3 00:13:43 Anyway, maybe t m I. But all that to say, uh, uh, it, it's, growing up down there has really added to, I mean, it's, it's just, it's befitting to the genre that I'm in. Yeah. You know, and and tour in Georgia. Yes. It's a lot of fun. But I think Alabama has a deeper appreciation for, I I think Georgia's been spoiled because so much talent has come from there. Yeah. You know, I mean, like you mentioned Luke Bryan Cole and those guys, but like, what about like Brent Cobb? Yep. Travis Tritt, Alan Jackson. I mean, they are, they're really, and Billy Carrington's from, and
Speaker 0 00:14:15 Then you go up north a little bit, and then you got the Corey Smith Brent Lee Gilbert, yes. Col Ford, John Langston. You got all those boys Oh, out, boy Out. You got folks like, like Lauren, Elena, like people coming out, guys and girls that come out of Come Outta Georgia. But yeah, you go over the border into, into Alabama and there's a vibrant scene there too. Like, I love going to the music scene in Birmingham. I just think the South in General's spoiled with the live music thing. 'cause back home, it's like DJs and you'll get bands in bars sometimes, but the fact that like four nights a week you're gonna get a band in a bar in some podunk town in the south. It's amazing. It's
Speaker 3 00:14:48 Awesome. Well, in some college town Yeah. Or, or too, yeah. We, it, it's very saturated with, with bands and things like that, but it makes it more fun to me to go and play Yeah. Places like the Midwest or, you know, places that don't necessarily, you know, get that kind of music as often. Yeah. And, uh, they really appreciate it. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:15:06 Did you do the college thing?
Speaker 3 00:15:08 Um, I went to college, went to U G A Go.
Speaker 0 00:15:10 Nice, okay. A Athens girl did.
Speaker 3 00:15:12 Nice. I did, I did. It was, I did the music business program there. 'cause I lost the Belmont Battle with my dad <laugh> and, uh,
Speaker 0 00:15:18 The Belmont Battle. Right,
Speaker 3 00:15:19 Right. So I was like the only, you know, country, I guess person in the, in the, uh, in the class. There was a guy, he's a year older than me, Matt Runner, who's a big agent now here at Waserman. And he's crushing it. And, uh, he works for Blackberry Smoke and all those guys. But, uh, but it was, uh, you know, Athens was not really a country music scene. Yeah. And, uh, 'cause like, R e m Michael Stites was literally like in Sonny Ortiz from, uh, grateful Dead. They were like in my class, the very first day of class. So it was good for me to see that realm. I got exposed to, you know, Jason Isabel and the Drive-by Truckers and gotten to meet those guys and hang with them a little bit early on. So it was, it was good to kind of build my, uh, you know, my eclectic, uh, repertoire, if that makes sense.
Speaker 0 00:15:59 Yeah. 'cause you've got two,
Speaker 3 00:16:00 But country's always been my bread. Bread and meat. Yeah,
Speaker 0 00:16:03 Absolutely. Um, and it's like, you have two just incredible rooms. Like, 'cause I, I love talking about different venues, like around the country. Oh yeah. Because I've been to so many of 'em and gotten to do some cool things. And it's like the 40 Watt George Theater and the Georgia Theater back on, like the Gath is like one of the coolest theaters. And there's just this, this energy in this aura. Now, do you remember the first show that you saw there? 'cause I'm guessing you went and saw some shows back
Speaker 3 00:16:25 In the day. My first show at
Speaker 0 00:16:25 The, or that you played The first
Speaker 3 00:16:27 Show at 40 Watt would've been Dirks Bentley actually. Wow. Um, and or Eric Church. It was one of those guys. Can you imagine Eric Church playing the 40 Watt? Like, I think I'm fixing to the 40 watt here in the fall. And then we've got, uh, and Georgia Theater. My first show, there had to be, this is gonna make me sound really old, but I just have good taste and I had a fake Id just not much. Hey. But it was cross Canadian ragweed.
Speaker 0 00:16:49 Wow. That had to, how Smokey was that room?
Speaker 3 00:16:54 Uh, I don't know. But anytime Brantley would come, Georgia Theater, there was always a stabbing or a fight or something that would take place. So I only went to like one Brandley show. Yeah. And I was over it. But he's very talented.
Speaker 0 00:17:03 Yeah. We, um, I had an experience The Wild 'cause I've, I've been like all the, it's funny 'cause Georgia does have all the, all the college towns and every town's a little bit different. Like, Statesboro is Statesboro and then you go a little bit east and then like Savannah's its own thing. And then you go a little bit west, more into the middle of nowhere. There's Tifton, Georgia's its own thing. No, Tipton by God. And then Yep. Tipton by by God. Exactly. Shout out Craig Campbell, Che Back and Che Becca Che back bit. Um, and then, um, you go up to Milledgeville, Georgia. Oh yeah. That's a whole set of Oh yeah. Milledgeville, Georgia was our wildest experience on the road. Like with Trey, somebody slashed our trailer tire or our Trey's old guitar player must killed. Who did
Speaker 3 00:17:39 He who? Probably some wild woman.
Speaker 0 00:17:41 It was, no, it wasn't even a woman. It was like, it was like the frat boys that were breaking in the green room, stealing the beer. They were Whoa. It was a wild scene. It was like, right.
Speaker 3 00:17:49 That's vicious. Yeah. It was
Speaker 0 00:17:50 Crazy.
Speaker 3 00:17:51 When we were in college, we were just like turning the upstairs of the Sigma Kai house into a slip and slide. I mean, that's, but, but like it was, nobody was harmed. Really? Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:17:58 Yeah. Yeah. And this was out of, this was like, this was at what used to be Capital City. Now it's, now it's Ned Kelly's. So, and it was like one of their first shows back, like during, during Covid, so. Got you. It was, it was a wild time. But like, and I love Rome, Georgia. Rome, Georgia. I love, oh,
Speaker 3 00:18:12 Rome. I've been there once. Still say, I haven't toured a whole lot yet. So this is, that's why this is, uh, you know, like I was, I did a handful of dates with the Cadillac three. I say a handful. I did a lot of shows with Cadillac three. They were the first ones to take me out on the road. Like, I wasn't ready. My first band show was open for them at George Theater. I had no business to be there anyhow. But, uh, all that to say, um, jar really believed in me. And he's the one that gave me my first Telecaster. He's like, which is an electric guitar for those of you <laugh>, listen, but it's a honkytonk guitar with a rock and roll pickup in it. And he's like, here, learn it. You got the chops girl. And that's what it took to have somebody that I looked up to my guitar hero to say, I believe in you.
Speaker 3 00:18:52 And so I've of course incorporated that into my live show anyhow. But, um, you know, I like went over to William Morris, which is a big booking agency here in town, uh, like I, a year or so after that. And then I played maybe like 30 dates and then the country shut down 'cause of Covid and all. And so, uh, I'm excited to, you know, this is, this is my first time playing like a hundred dates a year. So I am hungry and excited and I can't believe that it's my little headline gig. But thanks to TikTok and you know, social media, I'm able to, uh, bring a few people out a little bit.
Speaker 0 00:19:27 Yeah. Were you, were you against doing the TikTok thing early on? 'cause a lot of people are like when social, like during that, that in Covid time, like back in the day, b bc before Covid, a lot of artists weren't doing, that's what I always, I'd say BC before Covid, um, or b b s before, before all the crazy bullshit, whatever. However you guys, however you wanna call it, world fight fight. Yes, we are for sure. Um, like artists would be kind of hesitant to do the social media thing. And you had like the era of the guys and girls coming up with Vine and doing things like that. But I felt like during Covid, a lot of artists were like, I don't need to do this. I don't want to do this. Was there any of that in you where you were like, I don't want to sit there and do these videos and things like that?
Speaker 3 00:20:08 Uh, Luke Combs was sitting on my sofa years ago eating a bowl, chicken Noodle Soup. We were writing a song and he was telling me about Vine and, and like, and trying to explain to me how to use the app. 'cause he is like, you need to utilize your personality. Like you could really do well. 'cause that's kind of how he broke out was through Vine anyhow. And then Vine kind of, sort of came obsolete. But then I guess, uh, you know, like TikTok was brand new and a buddy of mine was kind of ahead of the game and he is like, you really need to try to try to build this app and use this. And so I thought, you know what? I don't have, you know, I don't have a lot of these, uh, opportunities at my exposure, so let me just use this to try to create my own. And that's kind of what happened. Not to repeat myself, but, but I understand the, uh, the weariness of it. Because like, I could be standing at my kitchen, uh, the phone not on just my phone in my tripod, uh, and like washing dishes. And I'll go to pull up the TikTok app and it will have screenshotted a photo of me, my back washing dishes at my sink. That's kind of creepy. That
Speaker 0 00:21:11 Is creepy.
Speaker 3 00:21:12 Yeah. So I understand people's, you know, apprehension about it, but you know what, it's working.
Speaker 0 00:21:17 Yeah. When, what, when did the kitchen, like the cooking, the standby your pan bit, when did that all kind of come to be?
Speaker 3 00:21:23 Well, everybody was, you know, all the restaurants were shut down. And I just heard people complaining about it. I'm spending a thousand bucks a month on groceries, da da da. And I thought, God, I gotta help America. People my age can't, girls my age can't cook. You know, because I'm, I'm old school, I'm country. My mother required us to learn, but my girlfriends didn't know how to boil rice. And so I thought, well, you know, why don't I just, uh, I'd just gotten a Tammy Wynette cookbook and I, you know, the standby your pan, you know, kind of thing, just kind of fell outta the sky. And, and there we go. I just thought, why not unite people? Yeah. A country that was so divided at the time. There was a, an election going on. And I thought, okay, we can agree on Cole law. We can agree on chocolate cake. Right?
Speaker 0 00:22:02 Yes, absolutely. Anybody can agree on chocolate cake.
Speaker 3 00:22:05 Yeah. So, and uh, and it, and it, it got bigger than I thought that it would. And it did more for me than I expected it too. And what's, you know, my my favorite part about it is meeting. I've got people from all walks of life, fans. I've got, you know, hippies, rednecks, gaze. I mean, I've just, you know, good old boys and little girls. And a lot of that has kind of forced me to clean my act up a little bit. I've made a little bit of a transformation <laugh> since our last raised rowdy podcast. <laugh> and about three pants sizes and yeah,
Speaker 0 00:22:32 You look great.
Speaker 3 00:22:32 Well, thank you. I'm trying to look hot or naked, but, but by the way, but I realized there were so many eyes on me. I had to clean my act up
Speaker 0 00:22:40 <laugh>. That was awesome. Awesome.
Speaker 3 00:22:41 You better. I I pissed off so many people, uh, so many evangelicals with my latest artwork from, uh, that thing. You like the song we just put out, but yeah. It is what it is.
Speaker 0 00:22:49 Yeah. Well, you're getting to be you. Like you're doing, you're, you're doing whatever the fuck you wanna do. I love that.
Speaker 3 00:22:54 Well, I mean, but you gotta empower people along the way too. Embrace your curve. Embrace who you are. If you wanna have big hair, walk around with big hair. Yeah. Hell, I stuffed my bra until I could afford to buy boobs. <laugh>, just be who you wanna be, man.
Speaker 0 00:23:05 Yeah. Um, what's your favorite thing to cook? Do you have a favorite thing or do you like mixing it up and trying new things and then you have your old classics? Well, I bet you make some mean shrimp and grits. I bet your grits are just out of this world.
Speaker 3 00:23:17 My mothers are the best. Uh, but, uh, the shrimping grits are great. I like to, I, I'm a meat and potatoes kind of a cook. So like a, I like, like a good old beef roast with cream potatoes or like a banana pudding, things like that. I just like, you know, comfort food.
Speaker 0 00:23:31 Yeah. That's, see, I've, I've had the spoils now of dating a southern woman. Yeah. Who lo who, it's funny. She says if her, she was like, if, if this, she's like, if this apartment catches fire, the first things to come out are my daughter. And then my collection of of cookbooks, my cookbooks get cookbooks. The cookbooks.
Speaker 3 00:23:47 Oh yeah. But you can't, all the old school cookbooks, you gotta, same thing.
Speaker 0 00:23:49 Yeah. She's got like, those old, the, like the southern living ones and like the ones where you put own s your Yeah. She's got like the shit that's been like, passed down from generations. Oh. And she'll just, and she, I've, I've gotten to enjoy the, the home cooking stuff. 'cause back home my mom would cook a lot. My grandma would cook a lot. Well, but you got Italian blood. You right. I'd Italian. Oh yeah. I would yummy. I would get the, the Penn Olive vodka, the chicken parm, the, the, this, the, that, like the Feni Alfred. I got spoiled with all that stuff. None of that fazoli's garbage that y'all got. I'm not a Fazoli's guy all trust me.
Speaker 3 00:24:19 Same. I'm, yeah. No ketchup.
Speaker 0 00:24:21 Thank you. Oh, it's the worst. Yeah. It's, yeah. Here's chicken parm for six bucks. What could possibly go wrong, you know? But, um, but I've gotten to enjoy those spoils of, of the Southern. I like, there's such a big cooking culture within southern, just southern living in general. Like, well, you too, men and men, men are out in the smoker and cooking and doing stuff. Well
Speaker 3 00:24:40 Yeah, there's a get together. It's not really a get together. It's, so we're having a fish fryer, we're having a barbecue or we're fry chicken over here at so-and-so's house. Yeah. Or we're grilling ribs. Yeah. It's always, which I love how Zach Brown, uh, started cooking on his tours Yeah. And kinda showcasing that side of himself. And I've always thought, you know what, when I, when I have the means to do it, when I can, uh, add that much <laugh>, that many more salaries onto my, uh, end of my camp, I think that'd be so much fun to, um, to do something like that at my meet and greet with my fans. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:25:09 They call it the Zack Brown meat and Meat and eat or No meat and eat. Yeah. It's meat. And eat, eat and eat. Greet, eat or eat and eat and meat. Or I think, I forget what it was, but I remember seeing that package. 'cause it's brilliant. Yeah. Yeah. They, um, they've been doing that for a long time too. Um, so you moved to Nashville. What was Nashville like in 20 11, 20 12 when you get up here? 'cause there's,
Speaker 3 00:25:28 It wasn't this big. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:25:29 There's still the Shoney's across from Tin Roof at that point. Right, right,
Speaker 3 00:25:32 Right, right. And the, well, the, the best Westerns still here though. There weren't nearly, there were hardly any cranes in the sky, in the, uh, sky and not as many skyscrapers. But the Batman towers were very prominent in the downtown, uh, escape. But, uh, it was a smaller town, but it was still a big town because, you know, little country girl, I mean, going to Athens to school, Athens, Georgia was three hours from home. That was kind of a, it was still a, it was a good step for me, but it was still kind of a culture shock, if you will, because, you know, in its own little way. But it was just, it was a good step to prepare me for Nashville. And, um, uh, I don't know. I mean, I, I wish I could go back. Uh,
Speaker 0 00:26:13 Who were some of the early, who were some of your early, early friends, like you moved to town? Like, 'cause they'd always say it's like classes. Like I remember the guys and girls, like, I moved here to town about the same time as like guys like John Morgan and Dylan Marlowe and like that 20 17, 20 18, 20 19. We all kind of get lumped together. I love that. Who else we moving into town around that time
Speaker 3 00:26:30 To, um, Channing Wilson.
Speaker 0 00:26:32 Oh fuck. Yeah. I love Chaney
Speaker 3 00:26:34 Cha Wilson. Yes,
Speaker 0 00:26:35 They, it's a bad, bad man right there. I love
Speaker 3 00:26:37 At Ward Gunther.
Speaker 0 00:26:38 Oh, so you had her, her for the inception of Whiskey Jam you saw?
Speaker 3 00:26:41 I was, I was, they started to call me like the female female, Jamie Johnson or whatever, <laugh>. And so, and Channing was like, okay, what's the buzz? Let's write a song. And so I had a hook saved for him, which is a song that I would like to release again. Um, I've never released it actually, but it's, uh, says I killed Jack Daniels one shot at a time. Ooh. It's really good. And he is like, I like a man killing song. So my first right in town was with Channing. Wow. Um, but those guys like really championed me. Award championed, me and his wife Kelly we're still really close like to this day. And uh, um, and I just really appreciate them, uh, believing in what I do. Uh, those are some of my first friends here. Uh Oh gosh. And then, uh, Thomas Archer, Joey Hollis, some of those wild boys from Milledgeville <laugh>, I talked Thomas into moving to town.
Speaker 3 00:27:24 And hurricane was actually written downstairs at, we called My House a Sugar Shack because well, you can just, uh, yes. Yeah. Imagine <laugh>. Anyhow, but, uh, they, they had had a large time. Yeah. Uh, and introduced him to, uh, his wife Hope. And uh, but the, those boys just kinda looked out for me. And Thomas was a co-writer on h to the damn of the d uh, you're Gonna Love Me. Which was kinda the focus track of the last project I put out the half record. And anyhow, now I'm tickled to putting out the other damn half.
Speaker 0 00:27:54 Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:27:55 It's taken me a while, but I had to, you know, I had to pay cash, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:27:59 I mean, it takes, takes a while. Perfection takes time. You know, it takes, it takes time and, but I feel like right now is a perfect time for you to be releasing some music. Oh yeah. And well at times out with going on tour with popping up on like, how crazy is it to be on, to be on freaking Rachel Ray? Oh. Like who would've ever fucking thought that?
Speaker 3 00:28:17 Who knew? I know. Country. Country Town. Country to New York. Well, Rachel is a champion of, uh, songwriters and musicians. She's married to a songwriter. John, her husband's a musician. And so, uh, but yeah, my short Fire Girls set up the first, this is my second time being on Rachel Ray actually. So her team reached out for this second time and I was just so tickled to come and do it and made Honey Butter chicken biscuits and talked about the new music and, and my weight loss journey. Thank you. Wilson. I'm working out with a celebrity trainer. Oh really? Wilson and <inaudible>. I met him through, uh, when he trained the F g L guys and uh, and all that. And he's out with a lot of artists and does a lot of stuff. But he makes time for me and he has just really helped my body make a transformation in the last year. And I'm just so grateful for to him. And I mean, he looks like the predator with his dreadlocks and he's just this big tough guy. But he's a, he's a big old, gentle giant, but he'll kick your ass, man. I
Speaker 0 00:29:08 Think I've seen videos of him working with, like, working with Morgan and Ernest and those guys, right? Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:29:12 Morgan, Ernest. Yeah. All those guys. Yep. Yep, yep, yep, yep. He's out busy with those guys. But, um, he's one of my dear friends. He's a mentor of mine, I love him. And so, but I got to plug Grit and Hustle and Rachel Ray and, you know, really. That's awesome. Wanna promote his business 'cause grit and hustle's done a lot for me. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:29:26 What kind of workouts are they putting you through? Like what, what do
Speaker 3 00:29:29 Yeah, well like this morning, uh, I mean I was like drenched in sweat, but, uh, I call it grits and hustle just to make you mad. 'cause I like to eat so much, you know, <laugh>. But, uh, I mean it's just, it's a lot of like hi cardio. So high intensity stuff. Yeah. We get a good warmup in on a bike or a run and then, uh, you know, and then it's heavy weights and like snatches and um, lots of weighted lunges. And uh, but I told him, I'm like, I want Cheryl Crow guitar arms. So, and now I'm getting, I
Speaker 0 00:29:57 Yeah, look at you girl. I know
Speaker 3 00:29:59 Who knew Honey? But I just, but I want people to be inspired by, you know, like I, I've made a transformation on the inside as well as the outside. And I think, you know, when the country kinda shut down BC as you called it, it really kind of forced me to take a look at okay, my, at myself. And as my numbers, my social media started growing and I had to, you know, I was getting stopped everywhere to take pictures with people. I'm like, okay, there's more eyes on me. I really need to clean up my act. And so, um, you know, my relationships have improved. You know, I think God really purged me of people and things that didn't need to be in my life and brought things in that really needed to be, and my music improved as a result. And so that's why I'm just so excited to bring y'all songs like Ugly Houses Yes. To showcase a side of me that's, you know, that's, that's more depth. 'cause there's obviously more, more to me than just humor and big hair. Yeah. So, um, but then again, uh, you know, songs that I fought for while I was at Sony that I couldn't get on the couldn't get on that project. Like, I'm gonna Whip Your Redneck Ass, which is one of my most popular songs Live. Yes, yes. Is obviously coming out on this one too. And the music video is, you're in for a Treat. It's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 0 00:31:05 Is Cornbread in that one? Yes. I was gonna say that just sounds like an, or how'd you get connected with him, by the way? 'cause Orie has become blessed, a good, good friend. I text with him usually a few times a week and he's,
Speaker 3 00:31:15 He's a good guy. He's one of my best friends. Uh, contrary to popular belief, me and the Cornbread Cowboy are not dating. But I love him.
Speaker 0 00:31:22 God, it would be fun if you did though. I, I'd love the saga. I
Speaker 3 00:31:25 Don't think, I don't think I could handle it, but just keep watching socials and, you know, and keep, keep watching for us. 'cause you'll see that saga I hope grow a little bigger. But Lord love a duck. He's slip into my dms on TikTok or something, but I just, I'm like, oh my God, there's me. But it's a dude. He's dressed, he is Ed like I'm invited. It's, it's my, it's my, yeah, it's my, my doppelganger and we just hit it off. And um, I've invited him like to like a NASCAR event and uh, and then just, I've tried to share my network with him and I took him to Nashville and anyway, and to know him is to love him. And so, uh, but his page is just, he's just taken off and he's trying to get involved with some, uh, uh, he's, he's got a big passion for like Down Syndrome and kids with Down syndrome. Yeah. So he's trying to get involved with some things like that too and really grow his, his platform beyond just funny videos. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:32:13 Have, has he made, um, ribs for you or made barbecue? 'cause I know he was a, he was a, he was a barbecue guy. Like that's loved about his story. He
Speaker 3 00:32:20 Loved, he doesn't cook. No, seriously.
Speaker 0 00:32:21 I he told, he told me he worked at a barbecue place. He
Speaker 3 00:32:23 Did. He did. But he doesn't cook. He buys a prepackaged barbecue. Oh
Speaker 0 00:32:26 No. He literally sent me a picture
Speaker 3 00:32:27 Of, this was his supper. He cooked last night. <laugh>. I mean it's literally, it's two buns, like Sunbeam buns with that store-bought barbecue that you heat up in the microwave.
Speaker 0 00:32:36 Oh no. He tells me that he has all this experience and his family has been in barbecue forever.
Speaker 3 00:32:41 No, Ori doesn't like Orry sleeps late. Ori doesn't get in a hurry.
Speaker 0 00:32:44 Yeah, he sleeps late 'cause he is up all damn night. We love you Ori Hard party Hardy. He is the life of the party. He
Speaker 3 00:32:49 Is life of the party. He is, you know, him is to love him. Uh, it's, you can't be around him and not drink. And uh, I'm tickled for, we're posted a video here in a few minutes that, um, I'm hoping it's gonna stir some things up. But I'm so tickled for his friendship that he's sought me out. Like he actually, we met in person, he came to one of my shows in Tampa with another influencer, um, guy named Calvin. And they were like, like, why is Nashville sleeping on you like weird? Like, your music is so good, like you are too damn good. Your live show. Like what the hell? How can we help? You know? And I really appreciated that. And um, so he is like, we're doing videos and I'm like, okay, I got some ideas. And so we just put 'em together and I thought it'd be funny to do a little cat and mouse, coyote Kitie and the road runner Chase. Yeah. And there we are.

That's another thing that I love. Yes. That's
Speaker 0 00:39:53 A whole nother, I think about being a guide. That's a whole nother, that's a I've only done mushrooms once. You'd appreciate I was with Ryan Nelson, I love Ryan Nelson. I was with, we're making a push to make Ryan Nelson, the mayor of Nashville. We're calling it like our, our campaign. We call him the we. He is Ryan. I've spent a lot of time with Ryan and he's, when you look up Florida, man in the dictionary, it's a picture of Ryan Nelson barefoot with his shirt unbuttoned with a Marlboro light in this hand and a bush light in this hand, or a joint in this hand. And he's just, Ryan Nelson's a whole damn vibe. He is
Speaker 3 00:40:20 A vibe.
Speaker 0 00:40:20 Yes. I did mushrooms with him. A great voice. Did mushrooms. Yeah. Oh, he is one of the, the fact that Ryan Nelson does isn't done the publishing deal thing, like, as talk about like songwriters and just dudes that, and like folks that just kill it. Like Ryan's the shit and been, I we love Ryan Nelson, but I was on an island, on an island with Ryan Nelson. Um, I was on, it was in Percy pretty slates, those little islands right there. So yeah, I luckily I wasn't drinking, but I, um, it was me, Ryan Mark ate Eli Locke. I don't know if you know any of those guys. We call 'em our raised, rowdy DJ gens. They're like our boys that are like, have personalities, but write songs into the music thing too. So somebody had a bag of bag of magical mushrooms and I'd never done 'em before.

Our buddy Alex Maxwell just cut his hand open on a tree with, oh no, there was somebody stuck a knife in a tree, like real redneck shit and put a knife in a tree. And Maxwell, we were playing cornhole and Maxwell put his little hand up there on the, um, on the tree and stuck it right where the knife was and boom. But anyway, we, um, the whole thing, I took this mu I took the mushrooms with Ryan and I watched the sunset on Percy Priest Lake and I was like, this is great. So I haven't taken 'em since.
Speaker 3 00:41:25 Do you like see colors or
Speaker 0 00:41:27 It was just watching the sunset and then the fireworks and it was just very, I had a, I had a big cap or a Yeah, big cap and a big stem and it was just, it was awesome. I haven't taken 'em since. I have friends that take mushrooms before they play rounds. I have friends that do mushrooms before they go to losers and red door. That's hard. Yes. Like that to me is a lot, like, if you're on, like, I feel like the whole room would have to be on it for me to want to be on it. If I was out like that, you know, I could've do mushrooms and go out. I I could smoke pot and go out.
Speaker 3 00:41:53 Well, I don't do mushrooms in with mixed company. Like, it's, it's in a controlled environment always. Yeah. And it's with, you know, people that have good energy. I try to bring good energy and keep good energy. But when I'm doing any kind of mind altering substance, you always wanna make sure that there's like, 'cause people, when people say that they try weeded or try shrooms and they don't have a good time, I think it's because, you know, they, they weren't in a controlled environment and you're gonna have a blast if you just have the mental discipline to remain in a good spot and to be around good people and to listen to good ass music. You're gonna have a great time. 'cause I'll sit on my sofa with buddies and we'll travel to 1975 and have a, and have a ball.
Speaker 0 00:42:30 Go back to the stone ditch. Yeah.
Speaker 3 00:42:32 My God. That's what it's about though. Yeah. And you can micro or whatever. I just, I haven't, um, I haven't tripped in. It's been about a year, so I'm due for a good trip. Holler. Okay. Anyhow. But, uh, I don't know. I'm thinking, I'm starting to Patreon and I'm thinking, I don't know how legal it would be. My publicist is cringing in her seat right now, <laugh>. But I'm wondering if I, well, I, I'm, I'm gonna do a little series called Hi with Hannah. Oh,
Speaker 0 00:42:56 Fuck yes. Where
Speaker 3 00:42:56 I'm gonna cook. Hi. Yes. It's just gonna be kind of unfiltered and which people will buy access to that, obviously. And, I don't know, make Hot Dogs spaghetti or something. Random women. Your stone. I don't know. But other than that, uh, I think a shroom a shroom thing would be kind of a fun little episode. It would
Speaker 0 00:43:12 Be, it would be. That could be really cool. Uh, what's your favorite go-to Munchy snack? Like what are you, like, you're stoned. It's, it's late on a Tuesday night. A Monday night. What are we doing? Magic

And so, like I love that. So he calls me from the cookout drive through. Yes. Anyway. And so now it's kind of a thing. If he's, anytime he's in cookout, just let me know about it. But he's really been on a weight loss journey too, so
Speaker 0 00:44:06 Yeah. He's been doing great.
Speaker 3 00:44:07 Yes. But I had a cookout last week. It was so good. But cookouts great cookout. A cookout milkshake is a peanut butter banana milkshake.
Speaker 0 00:44:13 Yeah. See I get the heath, I get the Heath bar one and one of them weird toffee guys Young, I love, I love, I love Heath Bar. I'm like, all my friends used to gimme shit over that in college. They're like, why are you eating that heath bar shit? I'm like, they're like, you're eating like a grandpa. I'm like, well, they this's The reason it's been around this long, the shit's good. And we loves some talking.
Speaker 3 00:44:29 Oh, tell Wilson, I put the, I make it last for like a week or two. Like, I just eat a little bit at the time and I put it back in the freezer. I'm trying to be good with it.
Speaker 0 00:44:36 Trying to be good. That's good. Um, yeah. 'cause I, when I first, we don't have cook, we don't have the, some of the fast food chains y'all got down here. We don't have those back home in New York. So, like, when I first discovered what's get to, well our back home, it's like McDonald's and Burger King and like K F C, we don't have a lot of shit. We didn't have Chick-Fil-A growing up, but we didn't. So when I moved down here, my mind just went like, well, I'm like, what is Zaxby's? What is, what is Bojangles? Oh, what is, what is Cook? Cookout Country's. Yeah. Like, and the fact that I can go, I can go after, after Whiskey Jam or after one of our events or after a night out, and it could be two 30 in the morning and I can go in the cookout and I can get a cheeseburger, a double with bacon and barbecue sauce and all this shit on it. And I can get two corn dogs, or two quesadillas and a shake for like six bucks. Yeah. Are
Speaker 3 00:45:21 You kidding me? And a Bible verse on the cup. There's always a different Bible verse. There's
Speaker 0 00:45:25 A Bible verse on the cup.
Speaker 3 00:45:26 Isn't that Greg?
Speaker 0 00:45:27 I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 00:45:28 I took, uh, cornbread oil to his first White Castle experience. He loved that. That was funny. Oh,
Speaker 0 00:45:32 White Castle
Speaker 3 00:45:33 Had that. Are you White Castle or Crystals?
Speaker 0 00:45:35 I've never had crystals. I've only had White Castle. 'cause again, I mean, they filmed Harold and Kumar go to White Castle in New Jersey. So I went to college up there. I spent a lot of time living there. So we would get White Castle once a year growing up, it was when I was in high school, we were playing high school football. It was after one of our summer camps that we would do for football. And we'd get the shit kicked out of us for a few days, and then we'd each get a crave case. So like the 30 burgers. Oh dang. And I'd eat one of those and a sack of fries. And like the big, I have like the, the gallon, like the big ass you
Speaker 3 00:46:01 Would eat 30 White Castle burgers.
Speaker 0 00:46:03 I ate like 20 something because once they get too cold, that pickle just fucks with You
Speaker 3 00:46:08 Call the cardiologist, man. Oh, that's with cheese Without.
Speaker 0 00:46:10 Oh, with cheese. With cheese.
Speaker 3 00:46:12 I ran it. How do you do that?
Speaker 0 00:46:13 Well, that was, that was after, after being away in the woods at a football camp for four or five days. You know, it was me and my buddy, my buddy, uh, Matt Cummings. Our, we were, we were young doing it. We were like 14 doing it. So we didn't have a driver's, our mom, one of our moms would take us and then the next day we'd just be miserable. And she'd be like, we told you not to eat that shit. You know? I love it. So, um, I gotta try Crystal though. I've heard Crystal is just a Southern, some may call it a delicacy, some may call it something else. I don't know. I've been told that I need to try it once in my life.
Speaker 3 00:46:40 Crystals are great. I like the fries at White Castle better, but, uh, but I think the burger, the
Speaker 0 00:46:45 Crinkle cut fries at White Castle. There's something about 'em. What are some of your other favorite Nashville like food spots? And I know you're, I know you're being good and like you're doing because I'm trying to be good too, but I wolf down. We have like the leftover bus stock in here. I wolf down like four, four of those little mini bags of chips today. I, I, I had a little cheat meal today. I love
Speaker 3 00:47:01 It.
Speaker 0 00:47:02 I live up little Cheetos. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. Like little Cheetos and like that kinda shit. But like, what are like your favorite spots? Like,
Speaker 3 00:47:08 I'm old school. I mean, like, I'm a, you know, I'm an 85 year old woman basically. And so a Sperry's and Bell Mead's, one of my favorite spots or salad bar, they're be salad. I just, I love the salad bar. I love the vibe there. It's just like an old steakhouse. It reminds me, it reminds me of the place that my parents used to take me and my sister when we'd have a good report card. So we'd get to go get Prime Red. Okay. And all. And, uh, well, I mean, I'm more of a steak person. Like, do, it was like, you wanna go get a blizzard? It's like, no, I wanna go get a steak.
Speaker 0 00:47:34 Yeah. So what were, so where's like your favorite spot to get a steak? We're celebrating
Speaker 3 00:47:37 Sperry's. It's called Sperry's.
Speaker 0 00:47:38 So Sper is the steak.
Speaker 3 00:47:39 Okay. But the waiters is Jack Ruby, or is it Jeff Ruby. Jack Ruby. I can't remember Jeff
Speaker 0 00:47:44 Ruby.
Speaker 3 00:47:44 Well, I've always been, yeah, a little altered when I've been there. <laugh>. Anyhow, but they're really handsome. So, uh, Jeffrey's really great too. Uh, if I'm not buying Jeff Ruby. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:47:55 That, see, I like, um, I've been to, I've been to E three and I thought that was pretty good. Yeah, it's good. And Erin's been wanting, wanting, been talking a lot about that Halls, halls Chop House. But she's a Charleston girl and they're based outta Charleston,
Speaker 3 00:48:06 So that makes sense. I've not been, I mean, Sean Brock's here in town, Nashville's a huge food town, obviously. Yeah. And so you've done the Husk thing or whatever. And I tried his new place and, uh, was, it was really, really overpriced. I wasn't paying for it, but it was literally like, it was like four or five grand for like four of us to eat. And it was Whoa. And it, it was there. The service was terrible and it was not worth that. Yeah. I won't, I won't call the name of the restaurant, but anyhow, I just, as much as I've been cooking on TikTok and stuff, not as much anymore with the release of this music, but I just, uh, you know, I haven't really gone out. There's so many new places I ever wanna try.
Speaker 0 00:48:36 You ever been to Chef's Market up in Goodlettsville? Uh,
Speaker 3 00:48:40 Is it great?
Speaker 0 00:48:40 No, it is. Aaron introduced me to that. So Erin, Erin has more, she's more of a local than Nashville than I'm, she's been in town for 10 years. I've been here five. So, and she moved here, wasn't doing the music thing. Lived up in, lived in, in, uh, Goodlettsville and up in White House. Like north of town. Out in the country. Yeah. Yeah. I've only, I've only lived, like for me, I've had to come in the city almost every day for work kind of thing. And she never really had to do that as much. So chef's markets in Goodlettsville and you're, it is Fire. Um, it's like you could order off the menu or you could do like, they have like the hot bar kind of thing. So it's like, meet in three style.
Speaker 3 00:49:14 Oh, yum. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:49:15 And I went in there and I had that old, I asked the, there was the, the older lady behind the counter was like, baby, what can I get for you? I love it. And I was like, all right, I'm feeling good. Um, and I had like the, the mac and cheese, the sweet potato casserole. Yeah. The, the big, the big thing of pot roasts. Like it was like that Good. Well-cooked pot roast. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> little, little ke lime pie at the end. And then that homemade sweet tea that just, you feel, you feel the diabetes going India when you drink this sweet too.
Speaker 3 00:49:40 I try to cook for my co-writers when they come over too. And so I usually will have tea and I'll like fix for them. And so I just, I don't, I, because I like to cook and I cook soul food. I don't, I just don't go to a lot of meat. And threes Arnold's is always good though if you're looking for a wood place in Nashville. But anyway, but I can tell you where to go for some good entertainment.
Speaker 0 00:49:57 Where's that?
Speaker 3 00:49:59 Come the Tallboy tour and come see Hannah Down. Yes. Oh
Speaker 0 00:50:01 Yeah, there you go. It's gonna great. Look at you. You've got, you've got her, you've got her all, all lined up and trained and good to go. We, what are the first dates I saw you guys were going to Texas. So are those the first bats? Is that the first batch of dates
Speaker 3 00:50:11 Out, out Texas and in Tulsa. Okay. And I've never been to Oklahoma, so I'm so excited. Oak. Well, I've knew a
Speaker 0 00:50:17 Little been sneaky thing. People dunno about Oklahoma. What some of the best weeded that I've ever had has come outta the state of Oklahoma. Sure. They, they grow. I mean it's, they like, like ragweed sings about everybody. They've been smoking weed out there for a very long time. Where this is where we have a thing Mom world. Yeah. We call them the, um, we have a guy, I'm gonna have to get Trey's number, right? Is it Darren? Uh,
Speaker 3 00:50:38 No, we're going out
Speaker 0 00:50:39 There. Here. Yeah. He's going out there soon. Uh, totally out.
Speaker 3 00:50:41 You hook up and every time there's
Speaker 0 00:50:42 A place, uh, there's a guy named, so it's in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Okay. Uh, tumbleweed is the venue out there, <laugh>. Um, which it's actually, it's where Garth Brooks got his start. So Garth was a bouncer there and then became the house band. Love it. And that was back in the eighties and stuff. But there's a regular there named Darren, and I think it's Darren or Darrell. It'd be more fitting if it was Daryl. Darren. Yeah. It's Dar. So he grow, he's a grower and what he does is he grows, 'cause you can grow medicinally and you can buy medicinally, but you can't do like rec stuff. And he's a big fan of music and all that stuff. So he would come out to the shows and he made, he made weed for like, folks that are like terminally ill, like cancer patients and stuff. That's a
Speaker 3 00:51:19 Good
Speaker 0 00:51:19 Stuff. That's the heavy stuff. So he called the, he brought these gummy bears over and we, we, we all call 'em, we call 'em suicide bears because they, they fucking destroy it. They're 90 milligrams full spectrum. R s o they're about Yay babe. They're little tiny bears. So
Speaker 3 00:51:32 You slept for 36 hours basically.
Speaker 0 00:51:34 I've seen people eat a handful of 'em and be fine. I ate one of 'em, went to a Predators game and thought I was dying. I was up in God's country up in the level three hundreds. And Macallan was there that night, I think. And, and it was, yeah. But they, but they also have really good, like their dispensaries. So, um, if you're doing a show in Tulsa, do you know where the show is? A, is it Cannes or one of the venues? Where are we?
Speaker 3 00:51:55 Probably in
Speaker 0 00:51:56 Where? Wherever the venue. Merky Lodge. Okay. Great venue. Yeah. Mercury Lounge. It's not just
Speaker 3 00:52:01 By there. Exit, exit Mercury, wherever that
Speaker 0 00:52:02 Kind of place. Yeah. Mer Mercury Lounge is great. And so I'm sure a lot of times, like when we went to Oklahoma City, the, as soon as we were loading in the house, crew was like, Hey, anybody here smoke? And a couple of us raised our hands, they passed their phone over, passed their phone around and was like, Hey, I've got my medical card. I'll go get it for you. Whatever you want, just gimme the money. So we did that and that weeded is some of my favorite in the country. Noted. Noted. Oklahoma, great edibles, the flour, they, their pre-rolls tend to be a little bit bigger than the average pre-roll. I like Oklahoma weeded a lot. So what m happy going
Speaker 3 00:52:34 In town to smoke with is from Oklahoma. So I guess that's, there may be a connection there. Yeah. The
Speaker 0 00:52:40 Cowboy shit, you know, that smoke what smoke, what comes outta the ground. Um, who's somebody who's your, who's your favorite person in country music to smoke weed with?
Speaker 3 00:52:50 Hmm. Because
Speaker 0 00:52:50 There's a lot of us that are in this, in this country music world that smoke pot. Oh
Speaker 3 00:52:54 Golly. I guess just whoever's really, really good hang, I mean, I, you know, I obviously smoke with the Cadillac three guys I've, you know, gotten high with I don't wanna incriminate anybody.
Speaker 0 00:53:03 No. Well, not inc talk Well any or any of the legend or anybody. Like if you,
Speaker 3 00:53:06 If I could smoke with somebody Yeah,
Speaker 0 00:53:08 If you could. Who's your dream smoke ses? Who, what's your dream smoke circle? So it'd be like, I
Speaker 3 00:53:12 Think Tanya Tucker would be a ball to get high with, honestly. Yeah. I think she'd be great. 'cause she's, you know, she rides that line that Saturday night and Sunday morning line. Yep. Like I do. Um, you know, I think, uh, Dwight Yoakum Ooh.
Speaker 3 00:53:25 Could be a lot of fun. He's just such a legend. But I, I want him to do, uh, you know, impersonations all night from, uh, Slingblade. Yep. <laugh>. And then, uh, Lena and then, uh, uh, you know, Kurt Anne, oh, well you're on Right. Is a lot of fun to get stone with. I gave him a gummy, he came out with me on the road a few weeks ago and I gave him, it's called a knockout and I forgot that. Yeah. We only took like a, I mean it's like this big, but it's like 40 milligrams. It might've been a hundred though <laugh> anyhow, but, uh, it lasted about 26 hours. Oh
Speaker 0 00:53:58 Wow.
Speaker 3 00:53:59 So same. But he's such, he's such a good hang. It's such a good vibe. She's great. Just people that, that's the thing about in the music industry is just you've got that common bond of you just, we were those nerdy kids that grew up, you know, like Bedford and Eric wrote about Mr. Misunderstood. Yep. You know, and it's like these kids grow up in the middle of Nashville. And so, uh, it's really, really great to connect with people on that kind of a level and to go to dive in the deep catalog music and to find, you know, just, um, those common bonds with people and to travel back in time if you're on altered substances. And so, I don't know, I'm fun to get high with I think who, whoever's in the room is gonna have a good time say. I think. I think we'll have a great time.
Speaker 0 00:54:37 I was gonna say, we've definitely gotten high together over the years.
Speaker 3 00:54:40 God, we have should but not enough. Not enough.
Speaker 0 00:54:42 Not enough come out. No, there's never, never enough. Yeah. We can definitely do it. And I told you we've, we've got at, at raise Rowdy headquarters. We've got a good, um, we've got a good stock from the great white north of Michigan. So
Speaker 3 00:54:53 I love Nikki t and I love, uh, I love, uh, I love all things cannabis, so please keep me in
Speaker 0 00:54:58 Mind. Yes, we can definitely do that. So when does the tour start? That's,

And come to Joshua Tree. Pappy and Hart. I know they'll be there. We're playing there too. I wanted to do that. Ooh. But Joshua Tre, you

From all the years where Nikki was driving around watching you open for Cadillac three. Watching, watching all three shows on a run to now us watching you do the damn thing. Headlining.
