Karley Scott Collins (Round 2)

[00:00:12] Speaker A: Come on. This is outside the round with Matt Barrill, a razor alley podcast. All right, KSC. Carly, Scott Collins reunited with my girl. How the hell you been doing? [00:00:58] Speaker B: I've been good. How have you been? [00:01:00] Speaker A: I've been good. I've been busy. We've been at festivals. [00:01:02] Speaker B: You're everywhere. You're everywhere all the time. [00:01:04] Speaker A: It's been nonstop. And, yeah, they had us emceeing some festivals. Like, I got to be on stage and introduce. It was wild. It's a little different than being at live oak or losers or the rusty nail, like, talking in front of, like, 30,000 people. But what was really cool was, like, some of the guys that were playing were, like, Bailey Zimmerman, who we've had at Live oak. Nate Smith, who I know is a good buddy of yours, and that we had. That we've had played some of our events and getting reduced. Eric Church and, oh, crazy in Iowa, the last day. It was a rock day. So shine down. [00:01:34] Speaker B: You hated that, right? [00:01:35] Speaker A: Oh, worst. But we got to introduce shine down, which was freaking wild. [00:01:40] Speaker B: That's awesome. [00:01:41] Speaker A: Gave us, like, a t shirt can, and we were shooting stuff out, and it was. It was crazy. [00:01:45] Speaker B: That sounds like fun. [00:01:46] Speaker A: It was. It was a lot of fun. You know, it's. Festivals are a lot of. Are a lot of fun. There are a lot of chaos. It's a lot of driving. I feel like I'm back out on the road because. [00:01:56] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, getting that sprinter van. [00:01:58] Speaker A: But instead of having a sprinter van, I'm pulling. I'm taking my tacoma, and I'm pulling a trailer full of all the raised, rowdy merchandise that we can fit in it because we're selling merch at these things. [00:02:07] Speaker B: We're about to have to start driving with a trailer, and none of us have ever. Me and the band have never driven a trailer before, so, you know, look out. There might be an accident at some point soon. [00:02:17] Speaker A: I think you'll. I think. I think Jake and you and Jake will be up to the task. [00:02:20] Speaker B: Well, I get to not drive for about six more months, so I'm gonna take advantage of that for a little while. Cause I'm still only 24, so can't do it legally. [00:02:28] Speaker A: True. [00:02:29] Speaker B: Just, you know, it's so. I really wish I could, but unfortunately, it's illegal. [00:02:34] Speaker A: Yeah. So, the debut ep. Yeah, right. How's that all been going? [00:02:39] Speaker B: It's been great. I'm really proud of that collection of songs, and the people that I got to collaborate with on it is, like, just kind of still out of body. [00:02:49] Speaker A: Charles Kelly and Keith Urban. [00:02:50] Speaker B: Right. [00:02:51] Speaker A: How wild is that for you? [00:02:53] Speaker B: So wild. [00:02:53] Speaker A: Especially you being like, you're one of those girls that's up there with the guitar. Like, you don't shy away from guitar picking and even playing electric. So to be on a song with. [00:03:01] Speaker B: Keith Urban, well, I mean, Keith Urban is in a whole other planet. [00:03:06] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying. Like, that's gotta be fricking wild. [00:03:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Keith is, like. I mean, he is probably the earliest country music memory I even have, because when I was growing up, my aunt would drive us around, and she was, like, obsessed with Keith Urban. And so me and my cousin would be in the backseat, and she'd be playing jeans on, and we were, like, singing background vocals from the time I was, like, a kid. So she was, like, the first person I called when I found out he was gonna do it, and we facetimed her, and she was like, this is the craziest crap I've ever heard in my life. [00:03:38] Speaker A: Yeah. Did you get to spend any time with him when you were recording all that? [00:03:41] Speaker B: Oh, my God. I. It's like, the worst timing of my life was that what was cool that I happened to be in the Netherlands the day that he was in the. [00:03:50] Speaker A: Studio doing the c two c stuff? [00:03:52] Speaker B: Yeah. I've never been, like, more excited to be in another country and also more disappointed to be in another country in my life, so, yeah. So he facetimed me for, like, four minutes while he was in the studio, but, you know, it was still excited he was doing it. [00:04:07] Speaker A: Yeah. What was the c two c stuff like? Cause last time that you and I got to spend some time together, really? At whiskey jam on Broadway, and that was, like, right before all the c two c stuff was, like. It had, like, just been announced, I think. And you were saying, hey, if you need. If you want to get out and be. We need a tour manager. And I was like, I don't think I can do that, Carly. I'd love to, but I don't think I can. So, how did it go over in Europe for you? [00:04:31] Speaker B: It was great. My. They actually ended up hiring a tour manager for all three of us. I did it with Lauren Watkins and Connor Smith. [00:04:37] Speaker A: Oh, perfect. [00:04:38] Speaker B: We all ran around together, so it was good. [00:04:40] Speaker A: I. [00:04:40] Speaker B: You know, I would have rather had Matt Beryl, but, you know, whatever, but it was good. It was actually, like, slightly more chaotic than I thought it was gonna be in my head. It was like, yeah, I can go to a different country every single day, and I'll have plenty of time to see stuff, but it was not like that at all. It was like. It was crazy. It was literally like, you fly into a country, have soundcheck, play the show, fly out of that country, and you're in another country the next day. But the fans were amazing. It was the first time in my life I've ever had people waiting for me at the airport in Germany. There were, like, people there with stuff for me to sign, which was crazy. This was good. I liked it. It was fun. [00:05:19] Speaker A: Where was your favorite place? [00:05:20] Speaker B: London. [00:05:21] Speaker A: London. [00:05:22] Speaker B: I loved London. Yeah. [00:05:23] Speaker A: What about it? [00:05:24] Speaker B: Well, it's just like. I don't know. There's, like, I've never been somewhere that feels as, like, old, you know, there's these places there that are, like, from, like, the 15 hundreds, 16 hundreds. There's lots of bookstores, which I love. [00:05:36] Speaker A: Yes. You're a big reader. Yeah. [00:05:38] Speaker B: Yeah. I feel like it's a big city for, like, rock music that I really like, so it's like the stones and the cure and all of that stuff. Lots of history there, so, yeah. [00:05:47] Speaker A: See, I've never been out of the country. It's time I have a passport, but I've never used it. [00:05:51] Speaker B: Should have been my horror manager. [00:05:53] Speaker A: I know, I know. And for those shows you were, like, doing, it was, like, some bars, but also, like, some bigger rooms, right? [00:06:00] Speaker B: Yeah. It was my first arena shows ever. We played at the zero two in London, which was crazy. [00:06:04] Speaker A: It's wild. [00:06:05] Speaker B: Yeah, it was awesome. It was so much fun. Yeah. I'm ready to go back, actually, for sure. [00:06:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:09] Speaker B: But hopefully next time, Keith Urban won't be playing my song while I'm in another country. [00:06:15] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. So this year, so far, I mean, to have a project out to have gone overseas. You've got some tour dates coming up. [00:06:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:25] Speaker A: From when we last talked, it seems like life has just been flying for you, just moving. [00:06:30] Speaker B: It has been. And it's all things that are, like. There's, like, a lot of bucket list things that are happening this year and things that, like, I can't. I haven't not even able to talk about yet that I'm super excited about for the end of the year. This year has been, like, my favorite year of my life, 100% by far already. [00:06:46] Speaker A: And you're only 24, right? To be 24 and have all this stuff happening is wild. [00:06:51] Speaker B: Yeah, I feel super, super blessed. It's all, like, crazy. Really, like, 90% of the time now, I'm like, is this really. You sure? You know, but, yeah, I'm excited. About everything. [00:07:02] Speaker A: Yeah, it's wild. And the Opry debut coming up. [00:07:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:05] Speaker A: What was that like, finding out that you're gonna get to play at the grand old Opry? [00:07:09] Speaker B: I'm gonna bring up Keith Urban again. I was in the studio a couple of weeks ago, and my phone rang, and it was, like, keith Urban? And I'm like, what's happening right now? But they had told me earlier, they were like, okay, expect a phone call about something from someone. And I was like, okay. So it rang, and he's like, carly, you gonna make your opry debut? And I was like, yeah. I mean, so exciting. And getting, like, the news from him is crazy, too. But the opry is. I mean, is there anyone that plays country music that. That's not, like, the ultimate goal, really? So I am very excited. [00:07:48] Speaker A: Yeah, that's awesome. Do we know who else is on that date? [00:07:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Larry Fleet is playing that night. [00:07:54] Speaker A: Perfect. [00:07:54] Speaker B: I know. I don't even know if. I don't know if they did that on purpose, but Larry is. And he's actually become, like, probably one of my closest friends, as far as, you know. Like, I can ask him anything, and he's got really good advice, and so, like, getting to do that with him is, like, so special, too. I'm very excited. [00:08:10] Speaker A: Yeah, I might. We're supposed to be at losers, but I might have to take off. [00:08:14] Speaker B: Losers is canceled Wednesday night. But, yeah, we did. So, a couple of weeks ago, I got to go back and, like, play a couple of songs on acoustic for the Opry staff. And, of course, it's, like, the most nerve wracking. It's just, like, a room like this, and there's, like, 20 people in, like, a circle of chairs, and they're just, like, you know, staring at you. But I played the songs for them, and it was fun. And they did, like, this tour of the Opry, and they play this video of a bunch of people getting to make their debuts and, like, their reactions and people getting inducted, and it's like, you already know it's special, but then you do that, and you, like, watch that moment for everyone else, and it's, like. It's just a whole nother level. [00:08:55] Speaker A: That's awesome. [00:08:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:56] Speaker A: That's so cool. Are you gonna have already the band guys able to do that with you? [00:08:59] Speaker B: Yeah, my. My guitar player, Jake, is gonna play with you. [00:09:03] Speaker A: Let's go. [00:09:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:09:05] Speaker A: That kidde bust his ass, by the way, because we've. We've had him pop up with, like, different. Like, he's just always running and gutting in town when he's not on the road with you. [00:09:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I have no. I have you to thank for even knowing him. So. Cuz you're the reason that he plays for me? [00:09:19] Speaker A: Well, yeah, because I saw him at Red Door one night and he was wearing this creed hat, and he was like, yeah, man, I'm looking for a gig. I was like, well, I know a girl who's looking for some band guys. [00:09:26] Speaker B: And he's never not. I've. I'm never not, like, dying of laughter when he's around either. Like, he's just the best hang. And he's so good. And he's really one of my best friends, too, now, so it's good to have him play. And then my producer, Nathan Chapman, is gonna play with me, too. [00:09:42] Speaker A: Oh, sick. Yeah, that's really full circle when you get to have your producer play with you, too. [00:09:47] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, Nathan and I. Nathan is probably one of the first people I ever wrote with in town. [00:09:53] Speaker A: Really? [00:09:54] Speaker B: We literally. We cut a song yesterday that he and I wrote five years ago. [00:09:58] Speaker A: Wow. [00:09:59] Speaker B: Which is, like, very full circle. Yeah. So he was like, if I could only have one backing musician. He was like, my immediate thoughts, like, there's no one else I'd rather have up there. Yeah, plus. [00:10:10] Speaker A: Yeah, plus Jake. And it's cool. Like, you're very family oriented. I remember seeing you at old Red, and I remember talking to you, seeing your mom and talking to him. Shout out to mama. We love Mama Collins. [00:10:25] Speaker B: Yeah, she actually. We just found out she's cancer free, which is. You probably don't even know. [00:10:30] Speaker A: Well, I was following it. I remember hearing about it and stuff, which. That's awesome. And I know that was something she's been battling with and all that, but when I was talking to her and she's like, thank you so much for introducing Jake to us. He's like. He's like my. He's like a. Like. He's like a son to me. [00:10:46] Speaker B: Like, yeah, she loves him. They love each other. [00:10:49] Speaker A: Yeah. How important is it having that family dynamic with your, like, having your parents be so supportive like they are? [00:10:56] Speaker B: Oh, I think it's so important. I feel like this can be, like, until you find your people and really, even after, it can be kind of a lonely thing to do. You know, you're on the road and you're gone. You're away from home. It's so nice to have people that, like, come out to shows and they're excited for you and you get to go back home. And have a family that's as supportive as they are. And I wouldn't be here without them either. And my mom is like, it's not even just supportive. Like, she pushes me, too. Like, if she notices that I'm nothing, giving 100%, she'll tell me. [00:11:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:29] Speaker B: I like. She's, like, the person I'm most nervous to send my songs to. [00:11:32] Speaker A: Really? [00:11:32] Speaker B: So I sent her a song, and she's like, not your best. Cool. [00:11:36] Speaker A: And they come up to Nashville quite a bit. [00:11:38] Speaker B: Yeah, they do. They don't come up as much now as they. As they used to, but they'll be here for the Opry and. Which they're very excited about. They come up when they can. [00:11:47] Speaker A: Yeah. How's grandma doing, Miss Marlboro Reds? [00:11:50] Speaker B: Oh, she's great. She's gonna be there, too. We're bringing all of Lake City to the. [00:11:54] Speaker A: Really? [00:11:55] Speaker B: I literally have, like, 30 people coming from my. From my hometown. Yep. [00:12:00] Speaker A: That's awesome. [00:12:00] Speaker B: Yeah. Nana. Nana's a mess. [00:12:03] Speaker A: I love the stories of Nana. What's she been up to lately? Just keeping it. [00:12:06] Speaker B: Drinking tequila and smoking Marlboro reds, as usual. [00:12:10] Speaker A: Yeah. What kind of things does she tell you? Like, listening to the music and stuff. Like, is she very supportive as well? [00:12:15] Speaker B: She is, yeah. Nana's like. I mean, she's probably most of the reason why I even started liking country music. And so she's a big fan of songs that tell a story, and I find that usually those are the ones that she likes the most when I send them to her classic countries is her thing. [00:12:32] Speaker A: What was her reaction to Marlboro Reds? That was clearly about her. [00:12:35] Speaker B: Oh, 100%. Yeah. She loved it. The first thing she always says when I play her a song is. What did you say? I couldn't understand that line, so I printed out the words for her, and I gave them to her, and she sat in my car with a glass of wine and listened to it. And the first, once it got to that line where it says how she lived through her third husband, she just started cackling and just didn't stop laughing. The whole rest of the song, she loves it. It was actually. There's, like, a video that got, like, a million views on TikTok of her listening to it, and she loved the attention. It was kind of funny. She's like, do you see what that person said about me? She loved it. [00:13:11] Speaker A: That's awesome. That's awesome. So you're posting on there a lot still, right? Because you're kind of. You're kind of part of that. That generation of people where it's like, you don't just have to put music out and write songs and go play shows. You have to. [00:13:23] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:13:24] Speaker A: On Instagram and TikTok and YouTube and all this shit. [00:13:27] Speaker B: It's a full time job. [00:13:28] Speaker A: It's a lot. [00:13:29] Speaker B: No, it really is. It is. Yeah. It's. I think it's helpful a little bit. Lately, we've been, like, bringing out some content people and doing, like, content days and stuff. So it's not just, like, you know, me making TikToks by myself all the time, but it is like, that's something that, when I was growing up, I didn't really imagine being part of my career. I was like, I'm gonna write songs. I'm gonna play guitar, and, you know, play shows. I never thought that it would be, like, posting on the Internet is, like, 50% of it, if not more now. Yeah, but, you know, it is what it is. [00:14:02] Speaker A: It's what. See, we even have to do that, like, with our stuff. Yeah, I even have to do that. I still don't know how tick tock works. I really don't. I really don't. It's like, we had some viral clips, like, back in the day, but it's like, oh, it's just such a challenge to, like. [00:14:16] Speaker B: And it changes, like, every day, too. You know? It's always, like, something different that works. That wasn't working last week. [00:14:22] Speaker A: Yeah. What's a content day with Carly Scott Collins look like? Like, what do they have you do? [00:14:26] Speaker B: So much lip syncing. [00:14:28] Speaker A: So much lip syncing. That's, like, that type of thing. I'm gonna pull some up right now and just let a look at it and see what you got. Oh, sorry. To whoever that was. Oh, shit. Sorry. Oh, we're gonna mute the phone and try that again. [00:14:38] Speaker B: It's okay. You can do it. [00:14:40] Speaker A: I can do it. I can figure this out for sure. [00:14:43] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, it's literally. There's just a bunch of. I feel like the ones that do best. They were the ones that you don't plan to do well. [00:14:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:50] Speaker B: Like the one of my nana. [00:14:52] Speaker A: Yeah. Nana's pinned up there. [00:14:54] Speaker B: Yeah, she is. [00:14:55] Speaker A: She's up at the top. [00:14:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:14:56] Speaker A: And. Yeah, so it's like. It's like lip sync. But I feel like you have so much personality to showcase, too. Yeah, there's like, you're. You're a fun girl. Like, you're. Like. You like to. You like to have fun, and. Yeah, you're. You're an old soul, so I feel like. I feel like incorporating that in there has got to be part of it. Right. [00:15:14] Speaker B: I post well. I mean, this is. Of course, you say you're a fun girl, and immediately I'm like, sometimes I review books on TikTok. [00:15:21] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying, though. That's what I'm saying. Like, you have personality. [00:15:24] Speaker B: That's, like, old lady stuff, though. But I do that sometimes, and. [00:15:27] Speaker A: Yeah, but it's important for the fans and for the listeners to get to know you. [00:15:32] Speaker B: Yeah, for sure. [00:15:32] Speaker A: And that's what getting to know you is. Like, you love music. You love movies. [00:15:36] Speaker B: My family. [00:15:37] Speaker A: You love your family. You love your books. [00:15:39] Speaker B: Redneck stuff. [00:15:40] Speaker A: Redneck stuff. What's the most redneck thing you've done lately? [00:15:44] Speaker B: Well, we're planning to go alligator hunting. I feel like that's pretty redneck. [00:15:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Who's Weir? [00:15:50] Speaker B: Me and my granddad and my aunt. [00:15:52] Speaker A: Oh, yeah? Have you done it before? [00:15:54] Speaker B: No, no, but I'm. I'm actually pretty excited about it, so that's my. That's what I'm planning on. [00:16:00] Speaker A: What is alligator hunting? Like? What is that? Is that, like, the fan boat stuff, like swamp people or, like, you just haven't been before? [00:16:06] Speaker B: I don't really know, but I feel like. I think you, like, yeah, you go out in a boat and a lake and in the middle of the night in Florida, and you. You have to bait them, and then I guess you shoot it. I don't know. [00:16:20] Speaker A: I used to watch. I used to watch swamp people on History channel growing up, and there was always fun hearing, like, the accents, and they would, like, leave the bait out on, like, on, like, unlike the shoreline thing. Yeah, like, on the short line on the shoreline. Then you'd see it wiggle, and then you'd have to go over there, and then somebody'd have to hold the rope, and then somebody have to have the gun. You think you're gonna be the one with the gun? [00:16:41] Speaker B: I feel like the odds that I'm actually the one that's in the water are pretty good in the water that I just fall off. Yeah. [00:16:47] Speaker A: And you're the bait. [00:16:48] Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. That seems more likely than me actually hitting, like, shooting it or holding the rope. Yeah, that'd be pretty wild. But I'm excited, though. I think it'll be fun. [00:16:59] Speaker A: Yeah, that's definitely some Florida family bonding if I've ever heard it. [00:17:02] Speaker B: Yeah, it doesn't really get much more Florida than that. We actually. So when I was opening for Willie Nelson a couple of months ago, one of the shows was in the everglades, and we met these people at the merch booth, and they're like, we run an airboat tour. You should come. And we were like, absolutely. And they let me drive the airboat. [00:17:21] Speaker A: I think I saw a video of this. You had Jake with you, too? [00:17:24] Speaker B: Yeah. He was terrified. He had never, like, number one. He had never seen alligators in real life, either. So there's, like, friggin eleven foot alligators, and I'm driving the airboat, like, might wreck, might not. His eyes were, like. He was literally, like, praying. But I did very well, of course. [00:17:41] Speaker A: Good, good. What was. What's. What's being on tour? Willie Nelson, like. Cause that's, like, an old school, like, heritage act. Like. Yeah, that's a whole different vibe from, like, being out with Nate Smith or Larry Fleet. [00:17:52] Speaker B: Yeah, very. I mean, you know, Nate is very similar to Willie, you know? [00:17:56] Speaker A: Really? No, no, I was gonna say. I was gonna say. I'd be very surprised. [00:18:00] Speaker B: No, you know what? The one thing that, like, really stood out to me is him being. I mean, he's 92 years old, and his guitar playing is still incredible. Like, he is a better guitar player than I am by, like, by a mile, and he's 92, but, I mean, his voice is still amazing, and him and his crew are so nice. He wore my merch shirt on stage during one of his shows, and. Which was like, his wife was standing there, and she was like, did you see his shirt? And I was like, no. What shirt is he wearing? And she was like, just look at it. And I was like, no way. But that's my Nana's favorite musician of all time, ever. [00:18:40] Speaker A: Did Nana get to meet him? [00:18:41] Speaker B: She didn't get to meet him because he's older and they want to be careful with. But they did let her sit side stage and watch his show, and I got to sing with him at the end of the set. She got to see that from sidestage, so it was special. [00:18:55] Speaker A: Do you have any cousins and siblings and stuff? [00:18:57] Speaker B: I do. I don't have any siblings. I'm an only child. I feel like I don't give off only child energy. [00:19:02] Speaker A: Not at all. [00:19:04] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:19:04] Speaker A: I would have guessed he had a brother or something. [00:19:06] Speaker B: Well, I feel like. So my cousin Julian, he pretty much lived with us for a long time when I was growing up, so I got. I mean, I was forced to watch WWE. I got beat up. We caught. We caught lizards. You know, like, I definitely had a brother for a little while. So, yeah, he's my he's my cousin. He's got the most beautiful little baby girl I've ever seen in my life. And then I've got two other cousins, Christian and Mikayla, who just got engaged in Paris. So I'm, you know, I'm, like, really far behind. [00:19:37] Speaker A: I wouldn't say you're far behind. You're on. You're sharing a stage with Willie Nelson and doing your thing and having an impact on the world with your music and your art that you love to do. [00:19:46] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:19:46] Speaker A: I wouldn't say you're far behind at all. Cause I look at it kind of like that, too. My sister's getting married in the fall. [00:19:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:51] Speaker A: She's two years younger than me. My little brother's, like, working on Wall street and stuff, and it's like I'm down here to running this company called Rain. [00:19:58] Speaker B: Yeah, you're killing us. [00:19:59] Speaker A: But it's like we're having an impact in the things that we're supposed to be doing, you know? [00:20:03] Speaker B: Right, right. [00:20:04] Speaker A: Their weekend consists of one thing. My weekend consists of going and partying with people in Clinton island. [00:20:10] Speaker B: Shine down. [00:20:11] Speaker A: Yeah. Hanging out with the shine down guys, you know, so everybody's thing is a little bit different. Have you gotten to go out and do festivals and stuff? [00:20:18] Speaker B: I haven't done a ton of festivals, but we have some coming up pretty soon, so I'll be. I'll be experienced. [00:20:24] Speaker A: Do we know where Athenae caught? [00:20:26] Speaker B: There's. Let's see, there's. [00:20:27] Speaker A: I was looking up on your, like, Spotify events thing and seeing what? [00:20:31] Speaker B: I don't even know, cuz I saw. [00:20:33] Speaker A: Some stuff on there. Like, I saw the Opry on there, obviously, next Wednesday. And then I saw some stuff for, like, there's Portland, Oregon. [00:20:41] Speaker B: Oh, that's Nate, right? [00:20:42] Speaker A: Yep. Monroe. Oh, you're doing Peoria, Illinois. [00:20:45] Speaker B: I don't know anything about. About it. [00:20:47] Speaker A: So those are the. So the festivals that we just did, they're called tailgate and tall boys. [00:20:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:52] Speaker A: And they're wild. [00:20:53] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. They look like. [00:20:54] Speaker A: It's funny. You were just talking about, like, wwe stuff. They're like the attitude era. If it were a festival, it would be that. Like, it's. We had guys on stage shotgunning beers. We had a t shirt cannon. We were doing all kinds of crazy stuff. [00:21:07] Speaker B: I think we should bring the t shirt cannon to the opry. I feel like that would go over super wild. [00:21:10] Speaker A: How awesome would that be? Like, Willie Nelson wore this shirt here to go. That'd be wild. But cruising's Farmington Road and Peoria is the people that put on tailgate and tallboys. It's their venue. [00:21:22] Speaker B: Okay. So it might be kind of wild. [00:21:23] Speaker A: It is. It is. I've been out there. [00:21:26] Speaker B: I know the boys already. [00:21:27] Speaker A: Yes. It's a very. It's a very fun town in that. Thursday. Thursday. They do a bunch of, like, fun, like, happy hour. Like, it's Thursday nights are wild up there, so that'd be cool. We're talking about trying to get up there for some shows. That might be one that we have to. Between you and Nate. [00:21:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:43] Speaker A: Because we were hanging with Nate. Nate played both of the tailgate and tall boys. We were just that. It was great hanging with him and. Yeah, his whole crew and stuff. But the. The festival culture is wild. You know, it's very different. Some of them that we go to, like, we're going to country concert in Ohio, which is very original. It's called country concert. [00:22:02] Speaker B: Right. [00:22:02] Speaker A: And they've been doing it for 42 years. It's family owned. [00:22:05] Speaker B: Okay. [00:22:05] Speaker A: It's, like, 30,000 people camping in a field. [00:22:08] Speaker B: Wow. [00:22:08] Speaker A: There's no hotel within 50 miles. So everybody camps, like, tent camps and has campers. [00:22:12] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:22:13] Speaker A: And it's a byob. [00:22:14] Speaker B: I've never been camping, and it's a BYOB. [00:22:16] Speaker A: BYOB festival. So people can bring in their own coolers and stuff. [00:22:19] Speaker B: Oh, God. Yeah, that's how. Yeah, it sounds wild, actually. [00:22:22] Speaker A: So, like, we have that one, then you have, like, tailgate and tall boys, where we, like, stayed at a casino hotel. And then you have, like, all these different. Different spots and everything. And it's just. It's cool because you get so many artists in one place. [00:22:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:35] Speaker A: And you get to have those interactions with fans that might be there to see a headliner. [00:22:39] Speaker B: It is cool that you can see that many people play at once. [00:22:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:22:43] Speaker B: I've never been to a country festival ever. I've only been to rock festival. [00:22:46] Speaker A: So what rock festivals have you been doing? [00:22:48] Speaker B: There's welcome to Rockville. That's in, like, Jacksonville, Daytona. They've moved it around a couple times. [00:22:53] Speaker A: What was that like? [00:22:55] Speaker B: Oh, it's awesome. I saw Ozzy Osbourne there for the first time. I saw Queens of the Stone Age. [00:22:59] Speaker A: Oh, one of our favorite bands with Rage Dragon. That's, like, nikki t's all time favorite. [00:23:03] Speaker B: It's my all time favorite band, Stone Age. That's actually my, like, my dream collaboration in country would probably be Chris Stapleton, but my dream collaboration overall would be Josh homie, which is the lead singer for Queens of the Stone Age. I have been obsessed with them. It was the first song I ever learned on guitar, really. So literally since I was like seven, I've loved them. But yeah, so we have a. We have a festival in Connecticut in July and then we have one in Colorado coming up in. I guess it's August. We probably need to update that. But. And we're. Yeah, we're out with. There's a bunch of like little random stuff in there. But then we're out with Nate Smith for a couple weeks and then Corey Kent. [00:23:42] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. So the Corey Kentour get announced. [00:23:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:44] Speaker A: And have you met Corey and gotten to know him at all? [00:23:46] Speaker B: No, I've never met him. But we have the same label and same management. [00:23:49] Speaker A: He's the nicest guy. [00:23:50] Speaker B: Yeah, he seems really. I love his music. [00:23:52] Speaker A: Yeah, he really is like the nicest dude. And Bo, his tour manager, is great. His whole band's really good. And his show is awesome because it's like a blend of like, what you get in Oklahoma and what you get out of Nashville. Yeah, his crowd is awesome too. They're gonna eat you up. [00:24:07] Speaker B: I'm excited. [00:24:07] Speaker A: You're gonna have a blast. [00:24:08] Speaker B: I've never played in California either, so I'm excited to go play there because we're planning paso Robles. I'm probably pronouncing that wrong, but I'm excited. [00:24:19] Speaker A: Yeah, that'll be fun. It's cool getting to go all around the country and see different places, isn't it? [00:24:23] Speaker B: It is so cool. I wish, like, sometimes you don't have enough time to see anything, you know? Especially when you're like rolling van life. Cause you roll up right before sound check sometimes, but, like, please, God, give me a tour bus sometimes. [00:24:37] Speaker A: I would say you're on your way there, girl. I mean, I know. I'm sure you don't look at the numbers too often. Like, a lot of artists don't. [00:24:42] Speaker B: It's stressful to look at them. [00:24:44] Speaker A: But you've got half a million monthly listeners. You've got your first, like, full, like the ep out. Yeah, you're getting these great tour opportunities. You're getting. We follow you on instagram and everything. And, like, you see people posting your songs every day. Like this new Carly Scott Collins song or this. This song hits me. Like that kind of stuff. [00:25:03] Speaker B: Like, you're on your way. Exciting. [00:25:05] Speaker A: You're fucking 24. You're so early in figuring it out that it's a really good place to be. And how old were you when you moved here again? [00:25:15] Speaker B: Well, I moved here when I was 19. And then the pandemic hit, like, three months after I moved here. [00:25:20] Speaker A: Yeah. So you got stunted with that. [00:25:23] Speaker B: Yeah. I feel like it's so weird. I've been here on and off for almost five years now, and I really feel like in the last eight months, I've started to feel like I'm, like, really part of the community. And I have, like, a solid group of people that I feel like are. I'm, like family, and, like, I. It's just crazy. It's like, you know, they say it's a ten year town and it hasn't been ten years, but it does take a long time to really, like, become part of the community. Yeah, it's a good feeling when you are. [00:25:54] Speaker A: Absolutely. And it's like, nick and Nikki T and I were actually just talking because I was like, yeah, I'm doing a pop with Carly today with KSC. I'm so excited. And Nick's like, dude, she's like, her last. Like, the last few songs that you've put out, it's like, we're starting to see, really, what you sound like, what your sound is. And that your voice is, like, when you hear one of your songs, it's like, yeah, that's a Carly song. Like, you have that distinct sound in your voice. [00:26:19] Speaker B: Yeah. I feel like we really dialed it in recently, but that takes time, too. [00:26:23] Speaker A: Yeah. And it takes working with the right producer. It takes writing the right songs, like, figuring it out. And, like you said, like, you kind of have your team of people that you create with. You have your road family with Jake and the boys. You've got. Where's your booking at again? Yeah. Which is a great freaking agency. A lot of good friends over there. [00:26:43] Speaker B: My agent is Darren Murphy, and then Katie Germano works on my stuff also. And they are definitely, like family. But Darren is amazing, and he has Keith Urban, and I think he's got Marin Morris and. [00:26:56] Speaker A: Yeah. And he's getting you on all these tours and getting you in front of all these people, and you haven't even had a song, like, go to radio yet. Or do, like, your fact that you're at where you're at with the touring stuff and you've got the label support and everything. Like you said, it's. You have this family. [00:27:13] Speaker B: Yeah, 100%. Yeah. I feel really lucky to have all the people behind me that believe in my music, that I do. I think that's a really special thing, so I feel grateful, for sure. [00:27:24] Speaker A: Yeah. We believe in you, raised rowdy. [00:27:26] Speaker B: I love you guys. [00:27:28] Speaker A: Since we first met. And it's funny now just how full circle it is because we had first met. I forget if it. It was that you played. I think you might have come and played around at Live Oak. [00:27:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Or maybe it was. [00:27:38] Speaker A: And then I covered a whiskey jam for Ward. I saw you there. [00:27:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:41] Speaker A: And ever since then, we've. We've hit it off really well. And we love what. What you do and everything. What's something that people wouldn't know about you from, like, guessing, like, what's a. [00:27:52] Speaker B: What's a. I wouldn't know. I don't. I can't. Why? I'm not thinking of anything interesting because. [00:27:57] Speaker A: I know you like your books. [00:27:58] Speaker B: I know you like my books. [00:27:59] Speaker A: I love your travel. You like movies and stuff, right? I think we talked about. You were in like. Was it like horror movies back in the day? I was like, acting stuff. [00:28:07] Speaker B: Yep. Yep, I was. I. It's been. It's been a while, actually. I just pulled up some of the scenes from one of the movies I was in when I was a kid, the collector, the other night. And it is like watching yourself on screen when you're like seven. It's like the whole world having, like, terrible home movies of you. You know, it's like the most cringy thing ever, but, you know, it's fun. It was a weird childhood, I think, to have. [00:28:33] Speaker A: Yeah, that's interesting. But you learned to get comfortable in front of people. [00:28:36] Speaker B: I did. I do think it helped a lot because, like, the thing that I connect with the most, I think with songs, too, is like, people that, like, you can really feel what they're singing. Like, you're really good at emoting. And I think, like, that's something that acting helps you with anyways, is like learning how to, like, channel your emotions. And I think that, you know, there's things that I can take from that and. And praying to what I'm doing now, for sure. [00:29:00] Speaker A: What led you from acting to doing music? [00:29:03] Speaker B: Acting led me to doing music, really, because I had that. I had a part that I was up for and they asked me to learn to play guitar for it, and that was. I picked up the guitar and I didn't put it down after that. I literally, I quit acting because of. Because of it making me pick up the guitar, moved back home, started playing in church and stuff. [00:29:22] Speaker A: So you were in LA? [00:29:23] Speaker B: I was, yeah. I lived in LA for like six. [00:29:25] Speaker A: Years as a kid. [00:29:26] Speaker B: Mm hmm. From when I was like six to eleven ish. [00:29:29] Speaker A: That's wild. [00:29:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:29:30] Speaker A: To be a kid. And get up and move and. [00:29:33] Speaker B: I know. [00:29:33] Speaker A: Do that. [00:29:34] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, it is crazy if you think about, like, I mean, child actors is like such a normal thing, but then you think about, like, actually having a job at six years old that you're, like, going to work and doing. It's just. I mean, it's crazy to think about when, like, looking back at it. [00:29:50] Speaker A: Yeah. And now you have this job of. [00:29:53] Speaker B: This is so not a job. It's like. It really is. [00:29:56] Speaker A: It is, though. [00:29:57] Speaker B: It is, because you put in a lot of time. But I just like, for. If I ever am, like, God, I've got to go play a show. I'll be so surprised because I really do love it. It's like. What do they say? If you. You love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. [00:30:12] Speaker A: Yes. [00:30:13] Speaker B: I mean, sometimes I'm sleepy, but. [00:30:15] Speaker A: But you get through it. [00:30:17] Speaker B: But I'm having fun. [00:30:17] Speaker A: Yeah. What would you be doing if you weren't do music? [00:30:20] Speaker B: I would be an archaeologist 100%. That's. I mean, maybe that's something people don't know about me. I am such a. I'm such a dork. I love dinosaurs. I think they're so cool. And I just. I love history. There's this guy named Josh Gates that's like, that's my. If someone's like, if you could, like, meet anyone, who would it be? It's him. And he is a famous archaeologist. So that's what I would do if I wasn't doing music. [00:30:44] Speaker A: So we gotta find a tour date that you're on where there's like a. A dinosaur or something. [00:30:49] Speaker B: I gotta go to, like, Montana or, like. [00:30:51] Speaker A: Is that where a lot of them are? Like a lot of the. [00:30:53] Speaker B: Yeah, they have. Yeah, they have like, things where you can. You're making me look like a dork. [00:30:57] Speaker A: And I'm not making you look like a dork. We're getting the. No. Carly Scott Collins. [00:31:01] Speaker B: They have things where you can go and you can pay to, like, go dig for dinosaur bones for. In those. In those states. Like, it's like New Mexico, Montana. Like, there's some in Wyoming. I know. I know all sorts. [00:31:14] Speaker A: And it's like, Tennessee's had a history of it, too. Like, in east Tennessee, I remember there was like. They found fossils. [00:31:20] Speaker B: Yeah, but we don't have. There's none of the cool stuff. We don't have any t rexes and stuff here. [00:31:25] Speaker A: Oh, is that what's out there? [00:31:26] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Went to New Mexico. I went to. [00:31:30] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, I saw you went on the vacation? Yeah. [00:31:32] Speaker B: I love painting too, which that's like one of my other little side things people probably don't know about me, I guess is that I've painted a lot of my cover art and I really like this artist Georgia O'Keefe. And she has a ranch in New Mexico. We went out there and I like looked at some of the places she painted. But they also have a dinosaur museum. It was. Yeah, it was the best of both worlds. It was. I was really having the time because. [00:31:56] Speaker A: I think they found like saber toothed tigers or something over here, which is where the predators thing comes from. [00:32:02] Speaker B: I didn't. [00:32:02] Speaker A: Right. [00:32:03] Speaker B: I did not know that. [00:32:04] Speaker A: If I remember right. I gotta, I gotta like confirm it real quick and see. We're, we're, we're fancier now. We're actually look shit up on here. [00:32:13] Speaker B: You don't just say whatever. [00:32:14] Speaker A: No, I don't. I gotta, I gotta like facts, fact check stuff. Um, um. Cuz it's like I've still never been. [00:32:22] Speaker B: To a Predators game either, which is like probably like blasphemous living in Nashville. [00:32:27] Speaker A: I know a Predz game. [00:32:29] Speaker B: I need to. [00:32:30] Speaker A: That's crazy. [00:32:31] Speaker B: It's off season now though, right? [00:32:32] Speaker A: They're, they're not. Yeah, they're out of it. There's like one game left or two games left in the Stanley cup finals. Florida is actually in it. The Florida Panthers. [00:32:41] Speaker B: I'm so shocked that Florida even has a hockey team. [00:32:43] Speaker A: I know. And they're good. They're really good too. It says, why are they called the national Predators? The story behind the discovery of the saber tooth tiger bones when the building was under construction. 1971. [00:32:54] Speaker B: That's crazy. [00:32:55] Speaker A: Saber tooth tigers. So I guess the must have been like tar pits or something. [00:32:58] Speaker B: The more your Broadway is. Yeah, that's, that's pretty interesting actually. [00:33:01] Speaker A: Yes. So you have stuff here. [00:33:03] Speaker B: All right, we got it. [00:33:04] Speaker A: We got to find an exhibit for you to go and fucking play around with dinosaurs bones or prehistoric things. [00:33:09] Speaker B: That would make me so happy. I want to know what you would do if you weren't doing this. [00:33:14] Speaker A: If I weren't doing this? See I originally I was, I was trying to get, I was like in the sports stuff, like sports media. [00:33:21] Speaker B: Okay. [00:33:21] Speaker A: Like I was one of those kids. I had like a sports blog when I was in like the 6th grade and I was like writing about the find that. Oh, it's, it's out there. If you look up Matt Brill sports haven. It's there. You can read all my. You can read all my cringy articles from about, like, the Yankees and all this stuff from, like, zero nine to, like, 2012, I want to say, but, yeah, like, I want to be an ESPN. That's, like, what I wanted to do. [00:33:44] Speaker B: All right. [00:33:44] Speaker A: So it was always, like, broadcasting stuff. [00:33:46] Speaker B: Yeah, similar. [00:33:47] Speaker A: But my family had a water company called Culligan Water. It's like a nationwide thing. And we had the franchise in my hometown from, like, my great grandpa to my grandpa. Wow. And then my mom. My dad still works for the corporate side, and he lives up in New Hampshire. My mom sold the business, like, right before COVID but I probably. I very well could have just ended up staying in New York. [00:34:09] Speaker B: Yeah, running water. [00:34:10] Speaker A: I've been 4th. 4th generation. [00:34:12] Speaker B: Wow. So you totally just disrupted the whole family line. [00:34:15] Speaker A: I did. Everybody stayed for the most part. Everybody's in the northeast. Like, my sister and her boyfriend or her fiance are in Maryland, my brothers in New York City. [00:34:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:25] Speaker A: And it's like, I'm down here, a time zone away, working on music related stuff. [00:34:30] Speaker B: That's kind of how. I mean, my. So my great granddad started selling mobile homes. That's what my family does. [00:34:37] Speaker A: Oh, cool. [00:34:37] Speaker B: So he did it, and then my granddad did it, and now my dad does it. But me and my cousins, none of us are doing it, so I don't know what. I mean, I don't know what happens with, I guess, the family business after that. But both of my other cousins are nurses, and I'm. And I'm singing, so. Yeah, but none of us wanted to. Wanted to do it, I guess. [00:34:56] Speaker A: But, yeah, there's something to be said for taking that jump. Like, I guess for you. Like, you kind of got to grow up a little bit in LA, and obviously that was, like, an interesting chapter. But what was kind of in your decision process of, like, okay, it's Nashville time. It's time to get to Tennessee. Did somebody kind of, like, encourage you to move here? [00:35:14] Speaker B: Yeah, actually, I. Well, I had started taking trips up here to write with some friends that I knew from back home because I played, like, a lot of, like, little. I lied about saying I hadn't been playing festivals. I used to play the Suwannee river jam back home. Oh, ok. All the time. So I had, you know, some friends from down there that were coming up here trying to get publishing deals and stuff, and so I would come up here and write with them a little bit here and there. And I had written this song, and I played it for my friend at this publishing company. And one of the publishers happened to walk in the. He listened to it, and he asked for a meeting, and they ended up offering me a publishing deal. And so I, at that point, was kind of like, I live here now. Yeah. So I got. So I got the publishing deal and moved here after that. [00:36:01] Speaker A: That was at 19. [00:36:02] Speaker B: Yep. Yeah. And then I. We went around and met some labels, and I signed with. With Sony shortly after that, too. [00:36:11] Speaker A: So you've been with Sony for a while. [00:36:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Right before the pandemic. Yeah. So I didn't get to release music until 2022. [00:36:19] Speaker A: So how do. How do you stay positive when you sign a deal and it in three years go by? I mean, I know the pandemic kind of shakes everything up, and you understand, but how do you stay? Because I give you credit, because it's all working out. [00:36:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:31] Speaker A: And the Sony music Nashville family, we love Taylor over there, Freddie, like, love the crew that's over there. But what's that like, signing a deal and then waiting three years to put. [00:36:41] Speaker B: A. I mean, it sucks, but I would have rather had that than, like, put music out right before the pandemic happened. You know, I feel like it was nice to. I don't even know if I was ready as far as, like, the songwriting and stuff goes. I wrote a lot of the songs that I put out over Covid. Over Zoom and stuff, and I think. I don't know. I mean, I guess those extra years, I didn't really want to have them, and I wouldn't have chosen to have them, but I. Looking back at it now, I really think I need it. Them. But, I mean, of course I was frustrated then, but I think, you know, it helped to know it wasn't. It's not like it was just me. It was the entire world having to wait on everything. [00:37:18] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, it was. And I think it's. You felt comfortable with that team because so many artists are like, I don't want to sign a deal. I'm gonna get shelved. They're this or that or whatever, but it's like, the right time. Things are gonna happen. Everybody's path is different. [00:37:31] Speaker B: Yeah, but it is crazy when you look back and it's like, that much time went by. But. But, yeah, I mean, I feel like it was the best thing for me. And as soon as things felt, like, vaguely normal again, we. We got in the studio with Nathan, who's first person I ever recorded with. [00:37:47] Speaker A: First person you ever wrote with? First person you ever recorded with? [00:37:50] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And it's full circle. I I went and I worked with other producers who I really admire, and I love everything they do. I worked with Dan Hough, I worked with Greg Kirsten. But there is something about my relationship with Nathan that's just. It's like, you know, I, like, went and dated other people, and I was like, I really miss my ex boyfriend. Like, we just. We just really have something that, like, I feel like is really special. I really admire him a lot. [00:38:16] Speaker A: That's great. Yeah, you brought. You brought up ex boyfriend things. What's it like being a 20, being a 24 year old female and trying to have that kind of thing, but also be folk? [00:38:28] Speaker B: Like, God, so miserable. I hate it. I hate boys and Mendez. All of them. Yeah. No, I mean, I just went through a breakup, like, a month and a half ago. [00:38:38] Speaker A: Oh, really? [00:38:38] Speaker B: Ish. Yeah. I keep it on the DL, you know? [00:38:41] Speaker A: Yeah, well, it's important to keep that. Keep that stuff. Yeah, that stuff private. But being an artist, and I feel. I mean, I'm in a. I'm in a very good relationship. My girlfriend, her step, or her daughter, who feels like a stepdaughter almost to me. [00:38:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:56] Speaker A: Love Aaron and Charlotte and all them. Shout out, Aaron and Charlotte. But what's it like when your career takes you all? You're traveling constantly, you're spending time writing, you're having to post on social media. So much of your life is in the public. What's it like? [00:39:12] Speaker B: I mean, that's a big. I think that's the big issue with, like, finding the right person, is that I am so focused on my career right now if. I mean, I'm writing every day of the week, I'm on the road the other three days of the week, so, like. Or the other, you know, the weekend, and so I'm nothing. It's gonna be really important for me to find someone who understands how hard I'm working right now, and that's really hard to find. [00:39:37] Speaker A: Even in Nashville, when so many people are in this. [00:39:40] Speaker B: Are in this life, I feel like it's almost worse when they're doing it, too, because then your schedules are fully not aligning ever because they're busy when you're not busy, and the other way around. But I think it'll happen when it's supposed to happen. My mom always said, just run your race, and all of a sudden, you'll look over and someone else will be running their race alongside you, and that'll be the right person. [00:40:03] Speaker A: It's a good way to look at it. [00:40:04] Speaker B: It is. Yeah. I mean, I might feel differently if I'm, like, 40 and single, but, like, right now, we feel good. I feel. I feel like I'm, you know, that's, like, not really that high on my list of priorities right now. [00:40:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Which is a good place to be, especially at 24. You got your whole life of you. Like, you're. [00:40:22] Speaker B: But it is so weird coming from, like, my hometown. I have one friend left that isn't married. Like, all of my friends are married. They're all having children, and they're in their twenties. Oh, yeah. They're all 24 or 23. [00:40:34] Speaker A: Is that one of those born here, live here, die here kind of things? [00:40:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:38] Speaker A: Where. It's. [00:40:38] Speaker B: Yeah, it is. [00:40:39] Speaker A: You're born in Lake City, you find your boyfriend in Lake City. [00:40:42] Speaker B: 100%. [00:40:42] Speaker A: You raise your family, and then you die in Lake City. [00:40:45] Speaker B: Exactly. Yeah, yeah. And then your family raises their family in Lake City, and then they die in Lake City. I mean, I love my hometown, but. Yeah, it is. It's so. It's. But it's nice. Like, you come here and people don't have that, you know, the same sort of mindset. But then I go back home, and I'm like, oh, my goodness. Like, it's crazy. [00:41:00] Speaker A: Yeah, it is. How often do you get back there? [00:41:03] Speaker B: I don't get to go back as much as I used to. I used to go home, like, every couple weeks, I'd go. I'd go home. Yeah. But now, you know, my schedule's gotten a lot busier. I don't get to go home as much. I try to get home once a month if I can, but I I feel like it's. It's been, like, once every couple months lately, which is. [00:41:19] Speaker A: Do any of the friends come up here? [00:41:21] Speaker B: Yeah, they do sometimes, but it's. It's hard, you know, they have jobs and everything. But some of my friends are coming up for the opry, which will be. Which will be awesome, so. [00:41:31] Speaker A: Yeah, that'll be sick. [00:41:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:32] Speaker A: What do you. Where do you. Where do you like going? Like, what does. What does KSC do in her off time here in town? Like, you. You're not. You're not somebody I see at red door too often. [00:41:40] Speaker B: Like, I went to red Door the other night, though, and we had a. We had a wild night. It was out till, like, two in the morning, which is so unusual for me. [00:41:48] Speaker A: What were you doing out? Were you with Jake? [00:41:50] Speaker B: I was, actually. [00:41:51] Speaker A: Okay. [00:41:51] Speaker B: Yeah, I was with Jake. And Tony Sanders plays drums for Josh Ross, and. Yeah, the boys. Wild. [00:41:58] Speaker A: So how did that night go? [00:42:00] Speaker B: It was good. We went to whiskey Jam to watch. To watch Josh and them after a seven hour rehearsal with my band. And we went out to red door for the next 3 hours. So it was good. It was fun. But it is definitely unusual for me. I recovered for, like, two weeks after that. [00:42:15] Speaker A: Really? [00:42:16] Speaker B: I'm not. I don't go out. What I do for fun is I love to lay by the pool and read a book. And that's. That's really it. And then I just. I work out a lot now, so I go for a run. Nothing really that interesting. Yeah, it was just boring stuff. [00:42:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:42:31] Speaker B: You're so busy all the time, you want to just chill. [00:42:34] Speaker A: Yeah, I. Last night, I took a night to myself, and I just chilled at my house and did nothing. And it was the first time I'd probably done that in, like, a month. [00:42:42] Speaker B: Yeah. And you loved it, right? [00:42:43] Speaker A: It was great. [00:42:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:44] Speaker A: I got into this new show called. What is it? I think it's, like, presumed innocent or proven. [00:42:50] Speaker B: Somebody literally mentioned that. Am I right? [00:42:52] Speaker A: New Jake, Jill. [00:42:53] Speaker B: And is it good? [00:42:54] Speaker A: So fucking okay. [00:42:55] Speaker B: I feel like I have to watch it now. [00:42:56] Speaker A: The second time today, Aaron got me onto it, which she's got me on to all kinds of shows. Like. Yeah, she got me at the Dexter. She got me. [00:43:03] Speaker B: I supposed to start that soon too. [00:43:04] Speaker A: You just. [00:43:05] Speaker B: Just came on Netflix. [00:43:06] Speaker A: Yeah. See, I have the showtime things. I watched that on there. [00:43:09] Speaker B: I love crime, so. [00:43:11] Speaker A: Yeah, Narcos was another good one. [00:43:13] Speaker B: Yep. [00:43:14] Speaker A: Yep. [00:43:14] Speaker B: Breaking bad. [00:43:15] Speaker A: Breaking bad. I haven't gotten into. I haven't done that one yet. That might be my new one. [00:43:19] Speaker B: Sons of anarchy. [00:43:19] Speaker A: Yes. Oh, yeah. [00:43:20] Speaker B: Okay, I'm gonna stop listing shows now. [00:43:22] Speaker A: You. Can you. We can talk about this. For sure. The. The guilty pleasure one that she got me into, and I made it to, like, season. I wanna say, like, nine. And then I got into so many seasons. [00:43:33] Speaker B: What is it? [00:43:33] Speaker A: It's still going on. Fucking Grey's anatomy. My girlfriend. My girlfriend got me the Grey's Anatomy. And I was saying the drama. Yeah. I ended up getting into, like, nine or ten seasons of it. And they're on, like, season 24 right now. [00:43:47] Speaker B: That's commitment. When I was a child actor, I did a spin off of Grey's anatomy called private practice. [00:43:54] Speaker A: Oh, you were on private practice? [00:43:56] Speaker B: And they. Yeah, and they painted me blue on the show because they had, like, a reaction to something. And me and my sisters were all blue, and they had to figure out why there's photos of me painted blue on the Internet. [00:44:08] Speaker A: Really? [00:44:09] Speaker B: So, yeah, you can look for it later. [00:44:11] Speaker A: That's wild. [00:44:14] Speaker B: Yep. [00:44:14] Speaker A: That's cool. See, I never got into the private. I kind of, like, I'll get into one show and then I'll get into something else. Then I'll just forget about the show that I had been watching. [00:44:22] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm. [00:44:23] Speaker A: It's tough to balance shows if you're really into it. [00:44:27] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm not really. I'm not a huge. Like, I don't watch a ton of, like, tv or movies in general, but when I do, it's like, something like that. [00:44:35] Speaker A: Like, is there something you've been watching recently? [00:44:38] Speaker B: I just started the. The House of the Dragon second season, but. [00:44:42] Speaker A: Okay. [00:44:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:43] Speaker A: Because to me, it's not. It hasn't been as good as Game of Thrones was. Like, game. [00:44:47] Speaker B: I couldn't get through Game of Thrones. I just. I don't know. I watched, like, three seasons of it, and then I was like, I'm bored. I'm done. Which is. I know. That's so unusual. I was like that with the Sopranos, too. [00:44:58] Speaker A: Really? Oh, no, Carly. I know, Carly. [00:45:01] Speaker B: But I just feel like it's different. Maybe when you watch it, like, as it's airing and you have, like, a break between seasons. Like, if I just have 75 episodes to binge watch, and it's just like, all right, they killed someone else. Cool. Like, I'm. You know, I'm over it. [00:45:13] Speaker A: Sopranos. I'm a little biased because that's, like. [00:45:16] Speaker B: My neck of the woods. [00:45:17] Speaker A: That's my neck of the woods that. They filmed a lot of that in my home. [00:45:19] Speaker B: You're, like, secretly in the mob. [00:45:21] Speaker A: I mean, we have 13 private sanitation companies in our small county. Oh, it is. It is. It is. It is. For sure. That's. That's the New York. The New York stuff. But, yeah, that, um. That new Jake Gyllenhaal show. Highly recommended. And it's nice because they're. That's not all out. So it's like, yeah, three episodes are out and they drop a new one, I think, every Wednesday. [00:45:42] Speaker B: That's what I'm gonna do. [00:45:43] Speaker A: You're still watching it, like, live. So, like, when it comes out on. [00:45:46] Speaker B: Wednesday and you don't get bored. [00:45:47] Speaker A: Yeah, you don't get bored. Exactly. [00:45:49] Speaker B: Right. [00:45:50] Speaker A: Exactly. So you went out to red door the other night. Where else. Where else do you like going? Straight to somebody to be in the east? Nashville? [00:46:00] Speaker B: No, because it's so far from me. I live in Franklin, so, like, I. [00:46:03] Speaker A: Literally forget you're a Williamson county girl. [00:46:05] Speaker B: Yeah. And I love it, though. I really love it. [00:46:07] Speaker A: There do you like it because it's, like, a break of where you're not? [00:46:11] Speaker B: I think so, yeah. I think that, like, I grew up in such a small town that, like, it feels a little more like I'm at home whenever I'm in Franklin. Then if I'm. If I was living in, like, a high rise downtown, I think I would pass away. I don't know. I'm just still not used to the city life. [00:46:27] Speaker A: Yeah, it would be a lot. See, I've never lived in the city of Nashville. I'm out here in Hermitage, which is the closest I've ever lived to the city of Nashville. [00:46:36] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:46:37] Speaker A: Which is nice. My girlfriend Erin lives up and cross plains, which is, like, up by the Kentucky border, that's, like. Yeah, it's, like, a little bit. It's a little bit of a hike, but. But it's, like, nice because it's, like, outside of the city. But living in the city would be very aggressive. Like, I have friends who live across from live oak in those apartments. [00:46:53] Speaker B: Oh. [00:46:53] Speaker A: And it's like, yeah, of course you're gonna go out every night. You're just gonna walk over to live, and then you end up at Red Door every night till 02:00 a.m. no. [00:47:00] Speaker B: There'S literally no way. I really. I don't think I could make it. I don't think that, like, I'm built for that. I'm really not, like, going out every night. I've never had that phase, actually. [00:47:09] Speaker A: Like, even. Well, I guess it helps when you turn 21. Like, during COVID Yeah. [00:47:15] Speaker B: Yeah. My 21st birthday was, like, at my parents house with, like, seven people and pizza. But it was fun. I loved it. But, yeah, like, everyone else's 21st is very different. [00:47:27] Speaker A: Yes. [00:47:27] Speaker B: Yeah. And then I was still. I mean, really, we were at home most of my. Most of my 22nd year. [00:47:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:32] Speaker B: So, I mean, 23 and 24, I think. I feel like I just turned 21. [00:47:35] Speaker A: Have you ever had a Broadway night? [00:47:37] Speaker B: No, never. [00:47:38] Speaker A: Gotta have one. I challenge Jake floth to take you out on. [00:47:41] Speaker B: Oh, God. [00:47:42] Speaker A: I challenge you to go out on Broadway with Jake and the bandaid. [00:47:45] Speaker B: Maybe one day. Maybe Broadway is just a whole different thing. [00:47:50] Speaker A: Yeah, it is, because that's what I was doing when I first moved to town. I was a bouncer. [00:47:55] Speaker B: Oh. [00:47:55] Speaker A: My work there. I worked at whiskey row. [00:47:57] Speaker B: You saw all the craziness. [00:47:58] Speaker A: Yeah. Where whiskey jam is. I worked there for a year. [00:48:01] Speaker B: Wow. [00:48:02] Speaker A: I was the id checker. I used to take fake ids. That was my thing. I was the id guy. [00:48:07] Speaker B: Oh, man. I did not know that. [00:48:09] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what I would get. Like, five to ten ids a night. Like, I was. [00:48:13] Speaker B: I bet. [00:48:14] Speaker A: And I put. We had a whole collection. [00:48:15] Speaker B: How do you tell. How do you tell a fake one from a real one? [00:48:17] Speaker A: It depends. Like, the photos, some of them just look very photoshopped. [00:48:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:21] Speaker A: Like, the pictures. And then you'll notice, like, on the Tennessee id, where it says, like, tn gov, the t in the end are connected. On the fake ones, they're not connected. [00:48:30] Speaker B: All right. For all y'all underage people that are listening, pay attention. [00:48:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, certain ids, like, you'll sign, you'll shine, like, your flashlight through them, and the hologram on the bottom should be doing something. [00:48:40] Speaker B: It's not. [00:48:41] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, the Florida one was always the picture. [00:48:44] Speaker B: Right. [00:48:44] Speaker A: Florida ids, like, and that's what. Like, any of them, but Florida in particular. [00:48:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:48] Speaker A: And then some of them, you could, like, bend them, and then, like, the laminate would just crack down the middle. You'd see that laminate crack you put in your pipe. Like, that's what we had to do. [00:48:57] Speaker B: Oh, my goodness. You're taking it serious. [00:48:59] Speaker A: Yeah, you got to. But, like, that's what our joy was. [00:49:03] Speaker B: It felt like your joy was bringing other people sadness. [00:49:06] Speaker A: It was collecting the ids. Yeah. When you're a door guy, it's like, would you rather collect an idea? Would you rather break up a fight? Now, don't get me wrong. Breaking up the fights had its. Had its moments where it felt very rewarding. You learned to move your head very quick. But. But. And I saw all kinds of stuff there because, like, we had the. What year did you get here? You got here, what, 2019? [00:49:25] Speaker B: Yeah. Beginning of 2020 into 2019. [00:49:27] Speaker A: Because, like, we had. So you missed when we had the NFL draft here. [00:49:30] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:49:31] Speaker A: The NFL draft was crazy. [00:49:32] Speaker B: Not that I probably would have known it was happening anyways. [00:49:35] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, it would have been hard to miss because every single fan base was here and. [00:49:39] Speaker B: Yeah, and I bet it was insane. [00:49:40] Speaker A: They put the stage down by the river, so it was just up Broadway. CMA fest, but for CMA fest, but with NFL fans. Yeah, it was chaos. [00:49:49] Speaker B: Which CMA Fest was so much fun this year? [00:49:51] Speaker A: Yeah, you had. [00:49:52] Speaker B: You. [00:49:52] Speaker A: You played quite a few shows, right? [00:49:54] Speaker B: I was all over the place. Yeah. [00:49:55] Speaker A: Which one was your favorite? [00:49:56] Speaker B: I, um. You know what? I. I really loved our set on the. This is the reverb stage. We played right before Shabuzi. [00:50:06] Speaker A: Oh. [00:50:07] Speaker B: So I feel like. Yeah, there was, like, 800,000 people there. Not really, but there were so many people there, and the crowd was, like. They just had so much energy. It was so much fun. Probably, like, one of my favorite shows I've ever played ever. But also, I have wanted to play at Spotify house for, like, the entire five years I've been here, so we got to play Spotify house this year. [00:50:28] Speaker A: Spotify house. Just. We were out of town during Zma Fest. [00:50:31] Speaker B: You were? [00:50:31] Speaker A: I was up in Iowa. Yeah. [00:50:32] Speaker B: Wait for the. For the tell you. [00:50:35] Speaker A: So I was in Iowa. Nikki t actually hosted the Sony event. [00:50:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:50:39] Speaker A: On that Thursday. [00:50:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:50:41] Speaker A: Were you at that one? [00:50:41] Speaker B: Yeah, I played a little acoustic thing for that. [00:50:44] Speaker A: Yeah, that was. You were, I think. Yeah, you were. Was that Thursday or Friday or Saturday or one of them? [00:50:49] Speaker B: It was one. Definitely a day. [00:50:50] Speaker A: That was definitely a day over at Acme. [00:50:52] Speaker B: I feel like it was Friday. Yeah. [00:50:53] Speaker A: Okay. Friday. Because Nick, I think, hosted Thursday with ella, dylan, and. And graham, and then he drove up from CMA fest to Iowa overnight. He drove up with two of our sellers. But CMA fest, like, it is such a. Such a cool thing, and I've seen it from being a bouncer. And then last year, we got to kind of peruse around and do some of the fun stuff. [00:51:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:51:15] Speaker A: But, like. Yeah. To get to be exposed to that many people. [00:51:18] Speaker B: Yeah. And it's crazy, too. Like, I don't know. This is, like, the first one. I played it a little bit last year, but this is the first one that, like, I've seen people in the crowd, like, wearing my shirts or singing the words to my songs, and, like, people were there that I played for in London. Like, there was a guy there that had my shirt on that was, like, I saw you in London, which is, like, it's just crazy how many people come from all over the place to go to see Mayfest. [00:51:40] Speaker A: Yeah. And then those people that were there will see you out on the road, hopefully. [00:51:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:51:44] Speaker A: You know, and there'll be people from Illinois and people from California that will see you at those Nate shows and those Cory shows. [00:51:51] Speaker B: Yeah. It's so much fun when you have, like, you know, like, the fans that you recognize and remember, and they're, like, at multiple shows. [00:51:58] Speaker A: Yeah. Do we have some die hards already? [00:52:00] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't. I feel like maybe she'll. She might end up watching this. There's this lady named Kelly that I met when I opened for nate a couple of years ago, and she's been at, I guess, probably, like, three or four shows now, and she is, like, just, like, the best. I mean, I. Absolutely. She's the coolest. I love her. So, yeah, there's a few. There's a few out there, but that's my. That's my shout out. [00:52:23] Speaker A: Have you gotten to fans, like, bringing you stuff? [00:52:26] Speaker B: Yeah, there's, like, you know, like, some little bracelets, like, the friendship bracelets bring you, like, little gifts, which are, like. I mean, I cherish all that stuff, so. Yeah. Which is just. I mean, it's so crazy to think that somebody even likes your music, let alone enough to show up to a show or bring you something. It's crazy. [00:52:41] Speaker A: Yeah. They don't just like the music. They like you. [00:52:44] Speaker B: Yeah. It's like, you know, what are y'all thinking? [00:52:46] Speaker A: And then they get to know the guys in the band, and they become. They feel like a part of it. You know, we used to have these people in Alabama that would show up when I was out in the road with Trey, and they would show up with, like, a box from crumble cookies, and they would bring us those big cookies. [00:52:59] Speaker B: All right. All right. [00:53:00] Speaker A: They would do that, and then we'd have. We had some lady in East Tennessee that would make her own, like, custom set list of what she wanted to hear and give it to me before the show and be like, y'all should play this. And it's like, all these, like, deep cuts from, like, trey's first project in, like, 2012. I don't think this is making the set, sherry, you know, we appreciate you, though. Or she'd bring, like, frisbees that she would find in her backyard because she lived near a disc golf course. Like, the Frisbee golf. Trade plays the Frisbee golf. [00:53:28] Speaker B: Oh, gotcha. [00:53:29] Speaker A: She'd show up with all these random Frisbee. [00:53:30] Speaker B: I was thinking that was a really random thing to bring, but now I understand. [00:53:33] Speaker A: Yeah. And it was just odd because there'd be this lady that would come up with. With a peel of paper. She'd draw these pictures for Trey in the band and then have these frisbees. In Alabama, we got Joanna and Katie bringing us boxes of cookies. [00:53:44] Speaker B: I like that, though. [00:53:45] Speaker A: The cookies were cool. Yeah, the cookies were. We enjoyed those, for sure. [00:53:49] Speaker B: I feel like I'm always, like. It must be, like, the amount of true crime I watch or something, though, because if someone's bringing me cookies, I'm convinced that, like, if I eat that, I'm gonna die. Like, that's poisoned. [00:53:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:53:59] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, like, always. Yeah. I can't. I have. I won't drink or eat anything. Like, someone gives me really yeah. Which is. [00:54:07] Speaker A: Is that why you were scared to drink the surfside? [00:54:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Matt's gonna kill me live on the podcast. [00:54:12] Speaker A: I was gonna say what an episode. [00:54:13] Speaker B: That would be not my favorite. [00:54:16] Speaker A: Probably not your favorite would be your last one for sure. [00:54:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Go out strong. [00:54:21] Speaker A: Go out strong. Damn, that's funny. But so damn that got me thrown all over the place. So what do we have? When? So opry next week. [00:54:34] Speaker B: Opry Wednesday and I guess when? I don't know when this is coming out, but anyways, Charles Kelly is gonna sing with me at the Opry, which I'm very excited about. [00:54:44] Speaker A: What's he like? Cuz I haven't met him before. [00:54:46] Speaker B: He's so tall. That's like my immediate thought is he's like, how tall? He's like six seven. He's like really tall. [00:54:51] Speaker A: Really? [00:54:52] Speaker B: Yeah, super tall. So I want to get a picture of him and Jake together. Cuz my boy Jake is not six seven. I think that would be good. He's so nice. He's really. It was actually, he volunteered to sing on that song. I didn't even have to ask him, which was like, we wrote it together and I sent it to him. I was like, I'm gonna record it. And he was like, well, let me know if you need a good background singer. Which, because I wouldn't have even thought, you know, to ask him and he would actually say yes. So it was very, very nice of him. He's great. He's awesome. [00:55:20] Speaker A: That's it. What's your favorite, what's your favorite lady? A song. [00:55:23] Speaker B: Growing up I wish need you now was not the first one that popped into my head, because that seems like the most cliche, but actually there's a song, american honey, that I learned. It was like the first song I ever learned in piano lessons. So I. Which I haven't even told Charles yet. I should probably tell him. I'm like, I'm actually a super fan, but yeah, I learned american honey on piano. That was my first, like, piano and voice thing that I ever did. [00:55:49] Speaker A: Sounds cool. How many instruments do you know how to play? [00:55:52] Speaker B: Well, I know how to play general, just in general. I can play a little of all kinds of things. I play acoustic, electric, and piano very well. Very well. [00:56:01] Speaker A: God, I'd say very well. You're a professional. I'd say very well. [00:56:05] Speaker B: But I can play a little bit of. A little bit of violin. I took lessons for a little while. I play and then I play like a little. I used to play drums a tiny bit, but I'm not. I would not play them in front of anyone ever. I still have a drum kit now. [00:56:17] Speaker A: We. You still have a drum kit? [00:56:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:56:20] Speaker A: Is it back in Florida? [00:56:21] Speaker B: It is, yeah, it's in Florida. I have no room for anything else. My apartment. My apartment is literally just guitar cases. So that's like, the furniture. [00:56:27] Speaker A: Guitar cases? [00:56:27] Speaker B: Yeah, that's it. [00:56:28] Speaker A: How many guitars do you own? [00:56:30] Speaker B: Oh, God. Okay, let's think. All right. I have two Jews and Bergs. I have two PRs's. I've got a Gretch, a Gibson, a fender, and then I have, like, four acoustics, so like nine or ten, I guess. [00:56:40] Speaker A: Wow. [00:56:41] Speaker B: I'm a, like. I just. I only spend my money on guitars and books, so. And shoes. That's it. [00:56:47] Speaker A: How many bookcases do you have at your house? [00:56:49] Speaker B: I only have two bookcases. Otherwise there's books just stacked places. [00:56:53] Speaker A: Oh, really? Just piles of books? [00:56:55] Speaker B: Just piles and piles. [00:56:56] Speaker A: Have you been. What's that? Have you been to that McKay's house? [00:56:58] Speaker B: Yep. [00:56:59] Speaker A: I was gonna say that you've. [00:57:01] Speaker B: I frequent it. I was gonna frequent flyer. [00:57:03] Speaker A: If they did. If they have a rewards program there, I bet you'd be. [00:57:07] Speaker B: I know they don't have. Yeah. It's why I should talk to them, actually. Next time I'm gonna ask their manager, like, hey. [00:57:12] Speaker A: I'm gonna be like, hey, I'm reviewing these books on TikTok. Yeah, let me. [00:57:17] Speaker B: Y'all gotta get it together. [00:57:18] Speaker A: Give me. Give me some books to review. Just, like, comp them. [00:57:21] Speaker B: That would be great. I think I'm gonna have. I'm gonna say I need you to speak to my manager, but it's just gonna be you talking. [00:57:26] Speaker A: Just gonna be me? [00:57:27] Speaker B: Yeah. You're gonna handle it for me? [00:57:28] Speaker A: I'm gonna handle it, yeah, I think. [00:57:30] Speaker B: You could do it. [00:57:32] Speaker A: She needs to review these books. You have a fate. Do you have, like, favorite kinds of books? Like, you said you like the crime stuff, but I know there's all different genres. I'm not somebody that reads a lot of books. I've got, like, four or five, like, self help books that were given to me that I still haven't read. [00:57:45] Speaker B: Southern gothic is my favorite genre. [00:57:48] Speaker A: What makes something southern gothic? [00:57:50] Speaker B: So it's, like, set in the south or, like, cowboy ish, but then also people die and stuff. So it's like, you know, it's gothic because it's, like, dark. [00:57:58] Speaker A: Is it like that episode of the office where it's like there's been a murder? [00:58:01] Speaker B: Exactly. No, no. My favorite author is this guy named Cormac McCarthy. You've probably seen no country for old men. The movie. Oh, he wrote that book. [00:58:10] Speaker A: So that kind of stuff. [00:58:11] Speaker B: Yeah. So. And then, you know, there's some that are like, set, like a little bit older, but he's the only person I've ever written fan mail to. I wrote him a letter in the mail, but then he died, so no reply. [00:58:29] Speaker A: So that's a clip right there. Yeah, that's a clip right there. So how many books would you say on average? Like, how often will you read tonight before you, like, you read before you go to bed? [00:58:38] Speaker B: Yeah, every night. Every night. I don't have time during the day, but every night. [00:58:42] Speaker A: So that's got to be nice, though, instead of like, checking your phone. Cuz that's something I've been trying to get better at. [00:58:48] Speaker B: Checking my phone. [00:58:49] Speaker A: Unfortunately, I put my phone on, like, on that do not disturb mode. Yeah, just kind of set it off. [00:58:54] Speaker B: I need to. I'll set like little. I'm like, all right, after you read five pages, you can check your phone again. It's. [00:59:01] Speaker A: Yeah, it's not healthy because that's like. Cause I feel like these. [00:59:05] Speaker B: These things, they're so bad. We got it. We gotta get rid of them. [00:59:09] Speaker A: They're bad, but they're. But they're great. [00:59:11] Speaker B: It's so. It's so nice to be, like, connected to, like, I can facetime my mom when she's not here. It's. Which is so great. But, like, at the same time, I really would have rather grown up in, like, the seventies or something where you didn't have it glued to your hand all the time. Cause I really. It really is kind of unhealthy. Like, how much we're on them. [00:59:28] Speaker A: Yeah. And then I'm wearing basically a phone on my damn hand right here. [00:59:32] Speaker B: Yeah. You're like, double fisted. [00:59:34] Speaker A: I'm double fist at all times. At all times. I'm just constantly freaking plugged in. I like this because I just started going back to the gym. We're trying to get. We're trying to get fit. All right, back into it. [00:59:44] Speaker B: Hot girl summer. [00:59:45] Speaker A: Which is good. Yes. Trying to get. Trying to get back into it. You know, errand is working out, like, every day, like twice a day. Like, oh, busting her ass. And I'm trying to get back. Get back in. [00:59:55] Speaker B: What are you doing? You're running. [00:59:56] Speaker A: I am. I'm a member of. I'm a planet fitness guy. [00:59:59] Speaker B: Okay. [00:59:59] Speaker A: Which is what you do when you're on tour. Yeah, that's a little life hack. Because the showers, the showers, the showers. 24 hours. [01:00:07] Speaker B: Yep. [01:00:08] Speaker A: And you can. They're all over the place. [01:00:10] Speaker B: Yeah, that's true. [01:00:10] Speaker A: They're literally all over the place. So it's not the best gym in the world, but it gets the job done. So, like, I go in, and I start by doing the rowing machine, and I'll do that for, like, five to ten minutes, and I'll go, like, today I did leg day for the first time in probably the worst. Oh, it killed me. Yeah, it was. It was rough. Getting on the squat rack for the first time in a couple months was. [01:00:29] Speaker B: Just like, I've got to get better at all that stuff. My friend Roman Alexander. [01:00:34] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Love Roman. [01:00:35] Speaker B: An artist. And he said that he was going to be my trainer, so. And he said I should be very afraid, so we'll see how that goes. [01:00:43] Speaker A: Yeah, Roman. Roman gets after it. [01:00:45] Speaker B: Yeah, he's, like, in the gym. Every time I talk to him, every time I think he lives there. [01:00:49] Speaker A: So what do you do for working out? You just really run? [01:00:51] Speaker B: I do a lot of running. And then I have this app that you probably know that lady, Erin Opri? [01:00:56] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [01:00:56] Speaker B: She has this app called pretty muscles. [01:00:58] Speaker A: Yeah, she used to come into whiskey row all the time. [01:01:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:01:01] Speaker A: And do, like, fitness stuff on the second floor. [01:01:03] Speaker B: Okay. [01:01:04] Speaker A: I'm, like, Saturday or Sunday, like, during brunch, and she'd have all these people up there doing, like, this workout class with her. [01:01:09] Speaker B: Yeah, I use her app every day, so I run, and then I use. Then I. Then I listen to Erin. She tells me what to do. [01:01:15] Speaker A: So what kind of. What kind of exercises is that? [01:01:17] Speaker B: There's no, like. There's not, like. I'm not, like, weightlifting. There's no. I don't. I've never had, like, I was gonna say. [01:01:23] Speaker A: I was gonna say you're looking big. You're looking big. [01:01:27] Speaker B: No, I just, like, there's, like, a lot of, like, ab stuff, and then you do, like, squats and different, you know, things like that. And then, you know, there's, like, little weights that you use for stuff, but nothing. Nothing too crazy. [01:01:37] Speaker A: Okay. [01:01:38] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm not trying to. I'm not. I'm not trying to get to, like, bodybuilder status. [01:01:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:01:42] Speaker B: I'm just trying to be able to wear the crop tops on stage, you know what I mean? [01:01:46] Speaker A: So you're in a good spot. I'd say you're in a. In. You're in a good spot. Do you hit the gym when you're on the road or do you go for runs when you're on the road? [01:01:53] Speaker B: Is that part of the routine? No, I wish. No, I'm so lazy when I'm on the road, outside of road stuff. But, yeah, I don't work out when I'm on the road. I only work out when I'm here. But I get in a pretty solid schedule when I'm here. I'm like, I work out every night when I get home. [01:02:06] Speaker A: Okay. [01:02:06] Speaker B: But I've got to get better at. [01:02:07] Speaker A: It because that's something that a lot of people have on their rider is the gym pass thing. But if you're using Aaron's app, you could do that stuff in the hotel room. You could do that stuff in the green room. [01:02:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:16] Speaker A: You can go for runs around the venue, depending on where you're at. [01:02:19] Speaker B: That's what I should start doing it. You're. You're inspiring me, because that's. [01:02:23] Speaker A: That's what. When I was out with the muscadine guys, that's something that they do. [01:02:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:26] Speaker A: That's part of their part. Yeah. Which I saw Larry, by the way, at that festival the day that he was playing. Got. God, got. Got canceled because of weather. But he hung out all day. Yeah, there were, like, 90 miles an hour winds. It was freaking crazy. That Thursday in Bloomington. [01:02:41] Speaker B: Oh, God. [01:02:42] Speaker A: It was a shame, too, because, like, Cody Johnson, Wyatt Flores, Larry, like, it was a man. [01:02:46] Speaker B: That would have been a great day. [01:02:47] Speaker A: Yeah, it was a great day, but it got shut down for weather. But Larry was just riding around in the golf cart with his boys. He came over to our radius rowdy tent and hung out with us for a little while. [01:02:54] Speaker B: He's the best. [01:02:55] Speaker A: But, yeah, the Muscadine guys, they, like, get after it on the road. And on the rider is gym passes, and they'll go to whatever. What's on the Carly Scott conversation? [01:03:03] Speaker B: Oh, we're still at the point, though, right now, where it's like, you can put stuff on the rider, and people are just like, eh, I'm gonna maybe not do that. [01:03:10] Speaker A: You know, we gotta get Jake to crack down on. [01:03:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Jake's gotta release. Cracking the whip. No, honestly, my writer's so simple. It's just like, I don't eat meat, and so, like, usually. [01:03:18] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, you're vegetarian. That's right. [01:03:20] Speaker B: I can't eat catering most of the time because it's literally just like, all right, we've got steak, chicken, and, like, ribs or something. [01:03:26] Speaker A: Yeah. So I ask lots of barbecue if you're touring in country. [01:03:29] Speaker B: Yeah. I ask for fruit and vegetables and water on my rider, and the guys. [01:03:34] Speaker A: Like, a veggie tray kind of thing. [01:03:35] Speaker B: And then the guys ask for, like, some beer, and that's it. [01:03:38] Speaker A: We got to get you, like, one of those instant meal sponsorships. [01:03:41] Speaker B: That would be good. [01:03:42] Speaker A: Like, we do stuff with. With vibrant meals, which is, like, that good. These two called eat well Nashville. [01:03:47] Speaker B: Okay. [01:03:47] Speaker A: So, yeah, so we get meals from them every week, and it's like you just pop it in the microwave for, like, a minute. They have a whole vegan, like, vegetarian selection. [01:03:56] Speaker B: I'm gonna look into that, actually. [01:03:59] Speaker A: Well, that's what's great about this stuff, is it's microwavable, so you can have it at the hotel. Screen rooms have a microwave in it. [01:04:06] Speaker B: Right. [01:04:06] Speaker A: So that could be the fix right there. [01:04:09] Speaker B: That could be the fix. You. [01:04:10] Speaker A: Some eat well things, you just go in their thing and they pick. You pick it up each week. [01:04:13] Speaker B: All right, I'm gonna look into that for sure. [01:04:15] Speaker A: Yeah. Vibrant meals would be really vibrant meals. If you're watching this hit up Carly or management hit up Carly for real. Because that's. That's. That's one of our. One of our favorite ones. And then we're gonna send you home with a four pack of this. I know you said you're, like, a super lightweight. [01:04:30] Speaker B: Yeah. You just had to expose me right now. [01:04:34] Speaker A: What? [01:04:34] Speaker B: You just calling me a lightweight in front of everybody now? [01:04:37] Speaker A: That's not. Well, that's what. Yeah. No, no, no, no. It's a good thing. The worst is when people can't handle, like, their. Their lightweights. [01:04:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:04:48] Speaker A: They're like, no, I can hang. [01:04:49] Speaker B: No, I can. [01:04:50] Speaker A: When you accept it, that's good. [01:04:52] Speaker B: Okay. [01:04:53] Speaker A: That's good. No, no, that's better than. That's better than trying to keep up with somebody. [01:04:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:04:57] Speaker A: Knowing I don't even try. Yeah, it's better. It's better that way. And it's nice to have the clear head and not be walking around hungover all the time. [01:05:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I like to. I like to know what's going on. I like to remember the words to my songs. [01:05:10] Speaker A: If you are. If you are out at, say, red door and you're out with, like, with your fam, where, you know, you're with a group of guys, it's like. [01:05:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:05:16] Speaker A: You feel safe and good with, like, the Jakes and those boys. [01:05:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:05:21] Speaker A: What. What is your go to drink? [01:05:24] Speaker B: I've been doing a vodka cranberry. [01:05:26] Speaker A: Okay. [01:05:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:05:28] Speaker A: I've done, like, the soda water and cranberry. Yeah, cranberry and sprite. Cuz I'm. I've been sober for. I just hit eight years. [01:05:33] Speaker B: That's actually, that's amazing. [01:05:35] Speaker A: Which is great. Yeah. And again, I got lucky that I got sober before I moved here. [01:05:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:05:40] Speaker A: I'd be a whole different person. [01:05:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:05:42] Speaker A: Would it be good? But these things right here, they have vodka in them and they're. We have the iced tea and we have the half and half over there, so we'll send you, we'll send you home with a four pack of that. You can enjoy it. [01:05:52] Speaker B: All right. [01:05:52] Speaker A: They've only got 100 calories and they're not carbonated, so they taste like. [01:05:56] Speaker B: Okay. [01:05:57] Speaker A: They taste like nana sweet tea. [01:05:58] Speaker B: All right, well, I'm excited to try it. So excited. [01:06:00] Speaker A: You should, you should enjoy it. It's only got three carbs in it. Like they're, they're very like, healthy and. Yeah, there are new things surfside. They're awesome. And we'll send you home with that orca water bottle right there, which you can use that you. I've been like, trying to fill this up and drink a whole water bottle like three times a day. [01:06:16] Speaker B: I have a, like a, it's like a 64 ounce like, jug thing that I. [01:06:20] Speaker A: Does it have like the things on it? [01:06:22] Speaker B: You're doing good. Keep it up, keep going. So I had to carry that around all the time because I'm trying to like, make sure I get all the, all the water. [01:06:30] Speaker A: Especially this time of year with the heat. [01:06:32] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Yeah. CMA fest was so hot. And then we were on the road with Dwight Yocomb last weekend and it was, it was like burning. [01:06:39] Speaker A: Where were you guys? [01:06:41] Speaker B: We were in Georgia and then we were in Raleigh and then Charlotte. It was hot, though. Very hot. [01:06:46] Speaker A: Were those like theater? [01:06:47] Speaker B: They're outside. Amphitheater. Oh, yeah. [01:06:50] Speaker A: That's cool. Yeah, that's a big stage. [01:06:52] Speaker B: Yeah, it was fun. It was really fun. [01:06:53] Speaker A: What was? You get to meet Dwight and any of his crew? [01:06:56] Speaker B: No, it was, they kind of, he kind of just rolls in, you know, whenever it's. It's time to go on stage. We didn't get to, we didn't get to hang with him too much, but I watched his set and he, you know, he still sounds great. [01:07:08] Speaker A: Yeah. Because I know they run it very tightly. They do like the changeover. Yeah, that's something I told Jake. [01:07:13] Speaker B: Yeah, don't go over. [01:07:14] Speaker A: I told them, don't go over. And I was like, I think you guys are gonna be fine. But I've heard that before. [01:07:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:07:19] Speaker A: And it's like you've gotten to experience touring with so many different people. [01:07:23] Speaker B: Yep. [01:07:23] Speaker A: From. From guys that have been doing it for longer than you and I have both been alive, like the white Yokum and Willie. And then you've gotten to do it with guys that are. That are coming up and have songs on the radio, like Nate and Larry. So it's. You're getting to see the touring from all different facets. [01:07:40] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, I think it's good to run. Run a tight ship, you know, because things. If you just let people play for however long they want, you know, it's good to keep things on schedule. But I think there is, you know, also something to be said for being, like, flexible and just, you know, having a good time. [01:07:55] Speaker A: Yeah. It seemed like the Larry tour was very welcoming, and at the end, I remember seeing. I remember seeing your post when that tour kind of wrapped. [01:08:02] Speaker B: I was depressed. I was sad when it ended. Yeah. They're amazing, all of them. [01:08:07] Speaker A: Yeah. What. What made that tour so special? [01:08:09] Speaker B: The people. 100% the people. I mean, like, on Larry's team, he literally, from monitor engineer to front of house, his entire band, his, like, tour manager, and, like, larry himself, they're all, like, the nicest people any of us have, like, literally ever been on the road with. They were all, like, took the time to talk to us, give us advice. They watched our show, which, you know, sometimes you open for someone, most of the time, you open for someone, and they don't really care to see your show, you know? So, like, they all. They all made us feel like they were excited to have us there, which was awesome. [01:08:40] Speaker A: And he gave you, like, a gift at the end of it, right? [01:08:42] Speaker B: Yeah, he did. Well, after they turned our entire dressing room upside down and hid my shoes. That was our end of tour prank, and I didn't realize that it was okay to do end of tour pranks. So if we ever tour together again, Larry's. Larry's gonna get. [01:08:55] Speaker A: What would be the go to tour prank? [01:08:58] Speaker B: I don't know. I can only think of ones that are, like, not okay. Like, I was thinking about, like, releasing crickets on a tour bus, but I was like, that would actually make someone mad. [01:09:06] Speaker A: That'd be very Florida of you. [01:09:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:09:08] Speaker A: Or lizards. [01:09:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Which. But so none of those things I feel like I can actually do. I've got to find a happy medium. [01:09:14] Speaker A: But you should do what with your love for dinosaurs. You know, a walking. Walking with dinosaurs. Girl archaeologists over here. Yeah, you should get one of those T Rex, like, blow up and go out on stage during their set in the t. Rex thing. That would be on brand. That would be on brand. [01:09:30] Speaker B: It would be. Yeah, that would be fun. Yeah, but so, yeah, they turned. They hid my stuff and turned all the furniture upside down. And then they left us a note that was just like, please return this dressing room to the way you found it before you. So we had to, like, flip all the furniture. But then Larry came in and he had, like, a thing where he had, like, a bunch of pictures of us together. Because I sang with him a lot of the nights and, like, wrote a really nice note, and it was awesome. It's very sweet. It's hanging up in my room, actually. [01:09:56] Speaker A: That's awesome. [01:09:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:09:57] Speaker A: That's cool to be collecting stuff. [01:09:59] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I have my. I. My decorating style is not less is more at all. It's just more is more. So I've got, like, concert posters and pictures on every wall. [01:10:08] Speaker A: That's like, what we got is, like, all the different posters and stuff here. And we got that knife, which was the most random thing. [01:10:13] Speaker B: Yeah. What knife? [01:10:14] Speaker A: In that guitar? [01:10:15] Speaker B: Yeah. What? [01:10:16] Speaker A: The guitar came from Kurt Ozon, who co hosts the Raise Rowdy podcast. Nikki T. And he's Luke combs, utility player. Watch the the ain't no, ain't no love in Oklahoma song. There's the guy with the long hair and the beard. That's like, soloing as the tornado is coming through. That's Kurt. That's. He's our rock star. That knife. We were driving down to a festival. Rome, Georgia. The Georgia. Yeah, right. Well, that was in Tennessee, so. Stopped in. We stopped in. I keep forgetting the damn town. One of the towns somewhere along Tennessee was a tulla homo. Or somewhere down that way. Somewhere down. Down on the interstate. [01:10:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:10:56] Speaker A: And we. And we went across. We stopped at this deli. Was awesome. Really good food, really good sandwiches. Then across the street, it looked like a pawn shop, but, like, a boutique. But, like, we walked in there and they had a little bit everything. And then Nikki T and I saw that knife, and on the bottom, you can't really see it under the guitar, it just says bald eagle night. It's like, no shit. Bald eagle night. [01:11:19] Speaker B: Well, I mean, how could you know Nick yet? [01:11:21] Speaker A: Nikki T and I were like, dude, we have to get this. Like, we put it in the podcast studio. It's a write off. [01:11:27] Speaker B: The vibes are immaculate. [01:11:28] Speaker A: It's a write off. Yeah, we wrote off that. $70. [01:11:32] Speaker B: No, you did. [01:11:32] Speaker A: Yeah, we did. We wrote that shit off. [01:11:35] Speaker B: How could you do a podcast without that, like, setting the tone? [01:11:37] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like, what's more raised rowdy than that? And they had another one, too, that was, like, more of a screaming eagle that was a little more expensive. That had, like, double the blade length. [01:11:46] Speaker B: Wow. [01:11:47] Speaker A: We were just like, we need to have. [01:11:48] Speaker B: I mean, he's. He's. He's screaming a little. He's got a little yell going on. [01:11:51] Speaker A: He's got a little screaming eagle to him. But, yeah, then we got all these, like, show posters and stuff. Haley Winters over there looking at us and all that. All the different things in the here, like, all of our. You know, which. Which. Last time we did this, I was still in Tres studio in the city, and it was, like, sitting on the couch vibes. Well, I like this table. [01:12:09] Speaker B: Very official. [01:12:10] Speaker A: Yeah, I like the table vibe and all of that. And then we have, like, our raccoons, and I got my Yankees bobbleheads. Are you in the sports at all, or are you very, like. [01:12:18] Speaker B: The only sport that I ever watched is basketball. [01:12:21] Speaker A: Okay. [01:12:22] Speaker B: So, yeah, I've got to probably learn some more about sports. [01:12:26] Speaker A: So do you still follow. Do you follow basketball? [01:12:29] Speaker B: Only I literally. Only I follow the Lakers on instagram, and that's it. [01:12:33] Speaker A: Okay. [01:12:33] Speaker B: I got to. I got to sit courtside at a couple Lakers games. [01:12:36] Speaker A: Oh. [01:12:36] Speaker B: As a kid, when I was, like, 16. [01:12:41] Speaker A: Okay. [01:12:41] Speaker B: Yeah. I randomly met Lou Adler, who. I don't know if you know who that is, but I was in LA, and he owns the. The rainbow room and the whiskey a go go and stuff. In whiskey. Wrong. One of the. One of those places down there. But I was outside the rainbow room, and I wanted to see some of the memorabilia they had in there, but it was closed. And so Lou Adler, he was a record producer back in the day. He signed the mamas and the Papas. He turned down signing the doors, like, three times, and I had no idea who he was, but him and his wife were standing out there, and he was like, oh, you can just go in there and look at some of the stuff. And I looked him up after, and I was like, oh, my God. Read about this guy, like, 100,000 times. But his wife texted me after because we kind of, like, got along. And she was like, do you like basketball? And I was like, sure. And she was like, I've got court side seats for the Lakers game. Do you want to literally just like that? [01:13:34] Speaker A: Those are expensive tickets. [01:13:37] Speaker B: Yeah, he sits next to Jack Nicholson also. [01:13:40] Speaker A: Did you get to see Jack Nicholson at the game? [01:13:42] Speaker B: Unfortunately, I probably wouldn't have known who he was back then, but. So I really have no idea. But, um. But I see who was playing right then. I feel like maybe Brandon Ingram was playing for them, and I think he sweated on me. [01:13:53] Speaker A: Oh. [01:13:54] Speaker B: Might be wrong, but I might be getting the players wrong, but, yeah, it was good. It was. [01:13:58] Speaker A: We got to get you into hockey. With Nashville being such a hockey town. [01:14:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:14:03] Speaker A: We got to get you to a predator's game. [01:14:04] Speaker B: Soccer would be fun. [01:14:05] Speaker A: Soccer would be fun. To the soccer games. [01:14:08] Speaker B: I hear they're pretty wild. [01:14:09] Speaker A: They're wild if you sit there. So it's like you have, obviously, the field, and then it's a big, big stadium, but behind the net is, like, the die hard section. [01:14:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:14:19] Speaker A: And most of the people in that section are. Are spanish speaking, so all the chance. Yeah. All the chants are in Spanish, so we and me and nikki t and a couple of our friends went to that game. Went to a game one time, and there's, like, people in, like, the lucha dorm mask. They got signs. They're doing all kinds of shit. And I have no idea what they're saying because I don't speak Spanish. [01:14:38] Speaker B: I speak a little. [01:14:39] Speaker A: You speak a little? [01:14:40] Speaker B: I used to sing in the spanish church. [01:14:42] Speaker A: Really? [01:14:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:14:43] Speaker A: I didn't know that. Was that cristo? Was that here? Was that in Florida? [01:14:47] Speaker B: Back in Florida, that's why. And then I was. I was maid of honor at my friend's wedding, and I had to diospendiga esta matrimonial. Give the speech in Spanish. [01:14:56] Speaker A: Wow. [01:14:56] Speaker B: It was, you know. Yeah. I'm full of surprises. [01:14:59] Speaker A: Wow. Spanish speaking Carly Scott Collins. Yeah. You would do well at a soccer game, then. [01:15:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Yep. [01:15:06] Speaker A: You would do well at a soccer game. That'd be wild. Yeah. And then base baseball is probably my favorite. And I'm a big, as you can see by the bobbleheads here. [01:15:14] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [01:15:14] Speaker A: Big New York Yankees fan. [01:15:15] Speaker B: I've never been to any basic baseball games. [01:15:17] Speaker A: Even the sounds. No, sounds games are fun because. Yeah, that's. That's AAAA team. There's stadiums in Germantown, and they're talking about us getting a pro team, like, within the next. [01:15:28] Speaker B: I think that'd be cool. [01:15:30] Speaker A: Team here would be awesome. [01:15:31] Speaker B: I'll wait and I'll go to that game. [01:15:32] Speaker A: The triple A games are fun, though, because they're not as expensive. [01:15:35] Speaker B: Right. [01:15:35] Speaker A: So they're a lot cheaper and they're a lot of fun. [01:15:39] Speaker B: Okay. [01:15:40] Speaker A: So you should go to one of those. [01:15:41] Speaker B: Yeah. 2024 might be my sports year. [01:15:44] Speaker A: It should be. Yeah, it should be. [01:15:46] Speaker B: I'll just hit, like, pred. Soccer and baseball all in one year. [01:15:49] Speaker A: And Titans. [01:15:50] Speaker B: And Titans. I've never been to a Titans game. [01:15:52] Speaker A: You haven't been there any. [01:15:53] Speaker B: I'm. What can I say? I'm a loser. I. [01:15:58] Speaker A: But you. But there's all these. There's all these, like, events you can go and do. [01:16:03] Speaker B: I just go to concerts. I never go to sports. Sports ball. [01:16:05] Speaker A: What was the last concert you went to where you weren't working? [01:16:11] Speaker B: Let's see. What was the last concert you went. [01:16:14] Speaker A: To a show and you actually watched the. Watch the show and enjoyed, like, as a fan? Because I feel like it's important to do that because we all get into music because we love. [01:16:22] Speaker B: Yeah. I went and saw guns n roses here at the. The soccer stadium with my friend. She. She came up from Georgia, and it was awesome. It was like, it rained during the show, but it almost made it, like. [01:16:36] Speaker A: More fun when they play November rain. [01:16:38] Speaker B: Yeah. And they're like. You know, they're playing and we're, like, soaked and, like, jumping up and down. Like. It was. It was a lot of fun. It was really good. Yeah. That's the last one that I went to, I think. [01:16:48] Speaker A: What would your dream ticket be to go to a show to see somebody? [01:16:52] Speaker B: Dream ticket. [01:16:55] Speaker A: Dead. Dead or alive. [01:16:57] Speaker B: Oh, man. Now you made it so much more complicated. No, no. Dead or alive. Dead or alive. The doors. [01:17:02] Speaker A: The doors. [01:17:03] Speaker B: Yeah. I love Jim Morrison, and my dad loves Jim Morrison, so that's like a. I would have to take him. Yeah. [01:17:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:17:09] Speaker B: That's what I literally. I left. I left flowers on his grave in Paris. [01:17:12] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [01:17:13] Speaker B: Yeah. Went to that perilous chase cemetery. [01:17:16] Speaker A: So you've seen that move, the movie then, with Morrison? [01:17:19] Speaker B: Yep. Yep. Classic. Yeah, he's great. [01:17:22] Speaker A: That's awesome. [01:17:22] Speaker B: Wait, foul. Kilmer. [01:17:24] Speaker A: Val Kilmer. [01:17:24] Speaker B: Not Van Morrison. [01:17:26] Speaker A: I'm sorry. I got my vat, my versus and my morrisons. It's an easy mistake. Val Kilmer to Van Morrison. I don't know actors very well. That's like, I kept. When I was starting that we were talking about that Jake Gyllenhaal show earlier on Apple TV, and I kept saying to Aaron, I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna start that Ryan Gosling show. [01:17:45] Speaker B: What do you mean? [01:17:45] Speaker A: Ryan Goslingen? I can. I confuse Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling and Jake Gyllenhaal. I'm like, all the chick flick, like actors. [01:17:54] Speaker B: I mean, that's fair, though. I kind of. We're kind of on the same page there. [01:17:57] Speaker A: I also watched. I also got introduced to a movie called the proposal the other day. You ever seen that? [01:18:02] Speaker B: No. [01:18:03] Speaker A: Chick flick movie? [01:18:03] Speaker B: Nope. [01:18:04] Speaker A: It was pretty good. [01:18:05] Speaker B: It wasn't bad, but you near Grayson atomy and chickfila. [01:18:08] Speaker A: I know, I know. I'm a whole different person, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Wouldn't have it any other way. So what do we have? So for as far as this year? What are some, what are some goals? Cause I know we talked about this on the last one. That was like around a year ago. So where you're at now? [01:18:22] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I mean, it's kind of crazy probably. I mean, I feel like the goals that I mentioned last year were probably things like playing the Aubree and playing the Ryman and like, the collaborations that I have. So I think right now my, my main goal is to get a song to radio. That's what I'm working towards right now, because like this year I've accomplished a lot of goals, which is really exciting, but that's like, that's the big one for now. And I think, like doing like a headlining tour too. Those are, those are, that doesn't matter how small it is, you know, those are both goals. [01:18:51] Speaker A: Yeah. Are there other cities that you really want to go? Would want to go to? Like, I feel like if there's a venue. What's the closest venue to Lake City? [01:18:59] Speaker B: I'm actually playing for the first time. I'm headlining my hometown fair. [01:19:02] Speaker A: Oh. [01:19:02] Speaker B: Which is going to be so much fun. I've never played in my hometown ever. Like, I've only played like, around there because we really don't have a whole lot. We just have the fair. So I'm doing that actually. But there's no, there's not really any venues in Lake City besides that, but yeah, I mean, I'd want to play there, obviously, I'd want to play here. I feel like it'd be, you know, a good place to play. But New York City too. I love that. Yeah, all those places. [01:19:26] Speaker A: Yeah. New York City shows are fun. You just have to find somewhere to park the van. God, that's the hard part. You get a lot of tickets playing. [01:19:32] Speaker B: In New York City, I bet. [01:19:33] Speaker A: Yeah, a lot of people like on the, especially on buses and stuff. [01:19:36] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:19:36] Speaker A: Trying to park kind of a. That sounds like a horrible bus driver conveyes to move the bus around all day. Like, you only allowed to park in this spot for 2 hours. They gotta move to this spot and, you know, you gotta like bounce around and you're pulling a trailer. It's chaos. It's chaos. [01:19:49] Speaker B: Sounds like it. [01:19:50] Speaker A: But, sis, we appreciate you coming on this. [01:19:52] Speaker B: Thank you for having me, as always. [01:19:53] Speaker A: You're one of our favorites, right?
