Old Hickory: Tuesday Nights at Scoreboard, New Music On The Way and Dad Life!

[00:00:15] Speaker A: This is outside the round with Matt Barrill for Razor Alley podcast. Well, welcome back to outside the round, a very special episode today because we don't have one, we don't have two. We have three guests, a trio. Three of my favorite dudes in town. You guys killed it at scoreboards last night, by the the way. It was my first Tuesday at scoreboards in a long time. We got the boys from old Hickory, Dan Alley, Timothy Baker and Andy Austin. How are you boys doing today? [00:00:40] Speaker B: Doing good. [00:00:41] Speaker C: Good, man. [00:00:41] Speaker D: Yeah. Chugging along. [00:00:43] Speaker A: Chugging along. How was. How was scoreboards last night? Cause that was a fun show because you had, I guess it depends who's playing at the Opry that night where folk like friends will just pop over and when it's a guy like Luke Combs and you guys are so intertwined with the folks in his band, like, it just turns into a. A different kind of night over there with Corey and Kurt and Nunley. And it was a fun, fun evening. [00:01:06] Speaker D: Yeah, man, every. It's kind of varies week to week, but, like, you get there at 09:00 and there'll be like 20 people in there and then you're like, oh, it's gonna be a slow night or whatever. You know, we'll be done by 1130. And then after 45 minutes, it, you know, 50 people could show up from the Opry and, you know, 40 of them. And it's just. It completely turns the whole night around. [00:01:32] Speaker C: Yeah, it's pretty funny because I remember we got, we pulled up to the parking lot and sometimes you can, like, sort of peek in and just see what it looks like. And there's not a lot of people there. And you're like, yeah, it's gonna be. Cause last Tuesday night was pretty packed. They had an event at the palace and a lot of people came from that. And so sometimes it sort of, like, fluctuates from week to week of like, if it's gonna be a good week, you know, the next week's probably going to be kind of slow. And so that's how it was. It started out slow and then it's like, oh, yeah, Opry's getting out and you see Corey and you see Kurt and all them. [00:02:02] Speaker A: They. [00:02:02] Speaker C: For a fun night. [00:02:03] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, watching those boys hop up and. And it's like those guys were just. Those guys have been out there playing stadiums, but they're. One of the highlights of the week was hopping up and just jamming with the boys, drinking some cold beers and playing with the old hickory boys. Man, that's a fun gig. [00:02:16] Speaker B: If you don't walk back up there, they'll just stay up there all night. [00:02:18] Speaker A: Oh, dude, I saw that, bro. Kurt had a few last night. Kurt had a good. Kurt and Corey were feeling. Kurt and Corey were feeling good last night, and I saw you go up there, and Kurt was like, oh, my time's up. But, yeah, that's. It's nice that you guys are able to get the breaks like that when those boys hop up. So, how has life been going? All three of you are married now, right? [00:02:40] Speaker C: Yep. [00:02:41] Speaker A: Kid, kid. [00:02:43] Speaker C: One on the way. [00:02:43] Speaker A: One on the way. Dang. [00:02:46] Speaker D: Kids. [00:02:47] Speaker A: Kids. Multiple kids. [00:02:50] Speaker D: I've cracked the code. [00:02:52] Speaker A: Doing dad life, dude. What's that like, what's dad life like for all you guys? [00:02:56] Speaker D: It's good, man. We just moved out to Lebanon in January, and we actually lived right down the road from here before, but we just moved out. We got a little bit over an acre, and we have two. I got two little boys under two years old. They're 15 months apart, and it is absolute chaos for me and my wife and. But it's amazing, man. Like, you know, a lot of people, you hear all this stuff, like, once you have kids, won't you have kids? It's so true. It just, like, I don't even remember life before. [00:03:28] Speaker B: I had every cliche thing you've ever heard. [00:03:31] Speaker D: It's so true. Yeah. [00:03:34] Speaker A: So when. When is. When are we expecting yours? [00:03:36] Speaker C: On the way. [00:03:38] Speaker A: Oh, halloween, baby. All right. [00:03:41] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:03:41] Speaker A: All right. Do we know. Do we know boy or girl? [00:03:43] Speaker C: It's a boy. [00:03:43] Speaker A: It's a boy. [00:03:45] Speaker C: Gonna name him Bo. [00:03:46] Speaker A: Bo Baker. [00:03:48] Speaker D: Bo Tater. [00:03:49] Speaker A: Bo Tater. [00:03:53] Speaker C: What a bunch of. [00:03:54] Speaker A: What's another one? Tater? [00:03:58] Speaker C: And somebody said Bo Berry biscuit. Yeah. Bojangles. So that's what. That's what the nicknames have been. [00:04:03] Speaker A: Bo Berry Jangles. Oh, Bo jangles Baker. That boy's gonna be country. [00:04:09] Speaker C: Lindy does not approve. [00:04:10] Speaker A: I was gonna say Lindsay. Lindsay does. Does have to approve. [00:04:17] Speaker C: Yeah, that's right. You got it. You got to be able to yell it. [00:04:19] Speaker D: You can't control what I call him. [00:04:21] Speaker C: That's right. On the. On the birth certificate. That's gonna be a different thing, but, yeah. Yeah. So we've just been doing the usual. I've been getting. You know, they'll. They'll. They'll give me advice of stuff to do to, like, look forward to or whatever, you know. So it's been good. We've just been making room in the house and getting the nursery together and just preparing for the world to get flipped upside down. Yeah. [00:04:44] Speaker A: Yeah, dude. So I've. My girlfriend, Aaron has a little six year old, so I spend a lot of time with her. And it's like, I've never been around a kid that much, but I'm, like, learning. I'm playing mousetrap. I'm playing trouble. I'm playing this, like, bluey or not bluey. What is it? Something match game where you gotta, like, remember my memory. I just. I get smoked every time. It's amazing, the memories of these little kids. But. But, yeah, that's wild. But isn't it crazy to, like, think where life was, especially, like, you? So I met. Trying to think of the order. I met Andy first when I was at. When I was at whiskey row. And that's where I met your wife Veronica as well. Back in the day. Whiskey row survivors, baby found out on Broadway, putting in our time. And I met Timothy probably right before COVID I think Dan somewhere around, like, right before, during the pandemic, like, around that way. And I remember watching you guys all play it, like, the local play, obviously, at scoreboards. And then we'd have you guys come over and play at Live Oak. And I was always like, I want to put them in a later slot on a Tuesday, but I can't because you guys have this scoreboards game. Like, I want to put you guys in, like, the 09:00 primetime slot and everything. Because your heart, it's always been, like, one of the highest. Everybody always asks, when's old hickory coming to play? When's old hickory coming to play? So I love what you guys do. And the. The album Tuesday at scoreboards was fucking awesome, dude. It was awesome. And I hear you guys got some new music on the way. [00:06:11] Speaker B: Yeah, three songs we cut with Phil O'Donnell. [00:06:14] Speaker A: Phil Billy with a full band. Full band. Full band. Old hickory. [00:06:21] Speaker B: Yep. [00:06:21] Speaker C: It's exciting. [00:06:23] Speaker A: How do we feel about that? [00:06:25] Speaker D: Great, man. It's. It's just. I mean, we've always dreamed of that. And that was the end goal, to. To get a full production stuff out, you know, that. And we feel really good about it. You know, it was. It was really badass recording it. You know, we kind of did it how we wanted to do it. It's not overproduced or anything that way. And it's just five instruments and us hooting and hollering on it. [00:06:54] Speaker A: Hell, yeah. Hooting and hollering. [00:06:56] Speaker B: Yelling at each other. [00:06:59] Speaker A: Just yelling at each other. So how did you guys all get to know each other and get to meet? Because you're all from different areas, but all kind of been a part of the nineties revival of country music in town. Like, that's gone on at the local, that's gone out in Music Valley and things like that. But how did you guys all get to know each other and become old hickory? [00:07:20] Speaker C: It was really through. We played a lot of. So, like, a lot. The three of us have made our living playing gigs in Nashville since moving here, and played a lot in town through doing that. Nashville being the biggest small town there is, you just run into people. And so we played a lot in music valley at Scoreboard, the Nashville palace, places like that. And a lot of those gigs are either like a duo acoustic slot or a trio acoustic slot or whatever. So then as you meet people, you're like, hey, I have this gig at 09:00 do you want to play it with me or I need two people to play with me. Then we sort of, like, I met Dan in probably 2018, shortly after I moved here, 2019, something like that. And then I met Andy a little bit after that, too. And so just sort of the friend group that we had sort of built beyond the three of us with Sam Banks and Corey and those guys, and it was just by being fans of each other and the stuff that each other was doing and then just playing gigs together was pretty cool to just sort of. It happened very naturally. As far as us meeting, I feel. [00:08:32] Speaker B: Like, yeah, yeah, I think, Andy, we started playing with you. Andy's wife Veronica, was working at Nashville palace, and we were like, we would do random, just all different kinds of configurations of people doing solo duo trio gigs. And didn't she reach out to you or say something to you like, hey, man, you gotta hang out? [00:08:54] Speaker D: Yeah. So I was out of town. I was a hunting guide up in North Dakota at the time, and I would leave, like, the first week of October and be up there till about thanksgiving. And one random day, she. She texted me, and she was like, hey, there's these three guys playing up here. Dan Alley, will Jones, and Sam Banks. And I was like, yeah, I know those guys. She's like, they're really, really good. I was like, yeah, I know, they're awesome, you know? And then she's like, you got to start playing with them. Like, you need to get back here, so you start playing with them. So when I got back at Thanksgiving, that's kind of we. We started hanging out. I mean, my wife was closer to him than I was. I mean, we knew each other just because we were kind of running around the similar circles, but I. We had never really, like, spent time together like that. And I think Dan and Sam lived together at that time, or maybe Sam was living next door and to Dan. So it was like, if you went to Dan's house, you hung out with Sam, or you went to Sam's house, you hung out with Dan, and it was just like, all the time. Nobody had kids but Sam and his little boys. I think one of the reasons why we all have kids, because we spent so much time around him, and everybody got baby fever, and then here we are now. Six, seven kids later. [00:10:18] Speaker A: Six, seven kids later. Shout out to Sam. Yeah, man. What's his little boy's name? [00:10:23] Speaker D: So his oldest boy is Tommy. Tommy Joe. [00:10:26] Speaker A: How old is Tommy Joe now? [00:10:28] Speaker D: How old is Tommy? [00:10:29] Speaker B: Four, five next summer. [00:10:32] Speaker A: Do you think he's got the music bug, like, being around watching you guys all kind of jam out at the house? Like, he loves it. He'll sit there and just watch you guys all pick on guitar better than me? [00:10:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:42] Speaker A: Oh, he's already picking. Sam's already got him picking. Really? [00:10:48] Speaker C: Wow. [00:10:48] Speaker B: He said he wants to be a bass player. [00:10:50] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:10:51] Speaker D: So much cool. [00:10:52] Speaker B: Which is hilarious for a four year old. [00:10:55] Speaker A: What do you want to be when you grow up? I want to be a bass player in a country band. It's really cool. That's really cool. So why the name old hickory? I know we're in old hickory, Tennessee, right now, which is kind of. Kind of fit in. [00:11:08] Speaker C: Yeah. I'll let Andy take a lead on this one. [00:11:11] Speaker D: I used to sit on my phone, and I wanted to find a name for it that was cool. Obviously, nobody had ever used. And I would look at all these, like, different creeks and lakes and not really lakes. It was like, creeks and branches and all this stuff on my maps. [00:11:29] Speaker A: Branches of water, not branches of trees. I'm over here thinking of, like, a tree branch falling in, like, a storm. [00:11:35] Speaker D: If you go to, like, maps on your phone, you can, like, look at the little creeks and all that stuff. They all got little names and whatnot. And I would. I would try to pick a place between, like, Ohio, North Carolina, Nashville, and obviously, Kentucky's right in there below Ohio and stuff. And. And I was like, what do y'all think about this? What do y'all think about this? And after, like, going over 20 on. [00:11:58] Speaker A: What were some of the other contenders, I got to hear this. [00:12:01] Speaker D: I don't know. Do I have to go back in our text messages and learn Cumberland River. [00:12:04] Speaker A: Cumberland. But. [00:12:06] Speaker D: But they would always be like, nah, that's stupid, man. You know what? And I would just blow it off, load off, whatever. And then finally I was like, you know what? Fuck it. I'm gonna pick the closest, biggest body of water there is. And it was between Percy Priest and old hickory. [00:12:20] Speaker A: Oh, Percy Priest would have been a big. [00:12:23] Speaker D: Old hickory was cooler than Percy Priest. [00:12:28] Speaker A: Judah. [00:12:29] Speaker B: Judas Priest. Cover. [00:12:32] Speaker A: Stick with harmony. [00:12:36] Speaker C: Done that already. They're missing. [00:12:37] Speaker A: Oh, dude, I'd go to a Percy Priest show. [00:12:39] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:12:40] Speaker A: I'd watch you guys play. [00:12:42] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:12:42] Speaker C: Just arch nemesis Andy looking like Andy on his phone looking through bodies of water. Makes a lot more sense when you know that he isn't, like, die hard fisherman. [00:12:50] Speaker A: Oh. Anything outdoors. Hunting too. [00:12:54] Speaker C: It's also good research for him. [00:12:57] Speaker A: Yeah. You killed a couple birds with one. So you've killed a lot of birds in your day, but killed a couple birds in 1 st. [00:13:02] Speaker D: Yes. [00:13:03] Speaker A: That's good. And old hickory, it's fucking. [00:13:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:07] Speaker A: And it's. It's been cool to watch you guys grow. And I'm excited for the new music. What do you. What do you guys. You grew up. Obviously, I know your backstory. We've had you on the pod before, which we're gonna get you to, or might even just do it now. I gotta get you. It was one of the infamous early days. So when we first started doing this thing, me and my buddy Tyler. You guys know Tyler Lassard Boudreaux. And it was in his house that he was living in with, like, four other dudes. And there was, like, a studio. A studio in the basement of just, like, random guitar gear everywhere. And some dudes cats lived in the basement. Remember we had the podcast and we had these two, like, chubby ass cats. We call them the podcast. And they would hop up and, like, sit in your lap there in the podcast and stuff. They were pain in the ass, but they were funny. And we had Andy do a turkey call on the podcast. And that was, like, one of the early modes. I gotta get one right now. [00:13:57] Speaker D: Okay. [00:13:57] Speaker A: I gotta get one. You gotta teach. [00:13:59] Speaker D: Actually, this past year, Dan and Tim showed up for it, but over at Opry at the Gaylord, they have the convention center. They have an NWTF. [00:14:07] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, it's huge. [00:14:09] Speaker D: Yeah, it was huge. [00:14:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:10] Speaker D: Well, they come over there and it's this big, big room, and they're doing the turkey calling competition over you in it. And I was in it. You can look it up online if you want. [00:14:20] Speaker C: You should have one. He got snubbed. [00:14:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:22] Speaker D: I'm pretty upset about it, but the guy that actually went before me is from Tim's hometown. [00:14:26] Speaker C: Yeah. He was the son of my kindergarten teacher. [00:14:30] Speaker D: Yeah, we had no idea. [00:14:31] Speaker C: No idea. [00:14:32] Speaker D: And it was like, he has, like, Logan Stidham hazard, Kentucky. And I was backstage, I was like, holy shit. And I texted Tim. He's like, yeah, his mom was my elementary school teacher. And. But no, so I don't. I don't, like, call a turkey, like, I don't call, like a hen. I gobble like a Tom. [00:14:51] Speaker A: You gobble like a Tom? [00:14:52] Speaker D: Yes. And, yeah, this year was. I was, like, freaking out back there, sweating bullets. And it's just funny because to other people, they'd be like, what the hell is this? My wife being from Miami, she was like, what the hell is going on? What are all these people here? And it's just a bunch of rednecks in a room that are obsessed with turkeys. [00:15:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:14] Speaker D: And, yeah, I'll gobble for you. [00:15:17] Speaker A: Gobble, gobble force. This is the podcast clip right here, right? That's what we're gonna leave with. I love it. I love it. It never, ever, ever gets old. I'm wondering when a gobble is gonna make it on an old hickory track. Like, when you're just gonna have them at the end of a song or somewhere in there. [00:15:43] Speaker D: We need to write something about that, about turkeys, about hunting or something. [00:15:47] Speaker A: I'm sure it fits in. It's in. That's on brand for you guys, for sure. Small town living. [00:15:52] Speaker C: It's a seasonal Thanksgiving thing. It'd be great. [00:15:54] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, thanksgiving track. [00:15:57] Speaker D: Yeah. I've taken Dan Turkey, and I haven't taken Tim. [00:16:00] Speaker C: I haven't. [00:16:00] Speaker D: Me and Tim have caught some fish together. [00:16:02] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay, so I'll ask you, what's it like hunting with the Andy Austin? [00:16:06] Speaker D: I was crawling around on the ground. [00:16:09] Speaker A: Really? [00:16:11] Speaker B: It's like army crawling. [00:16:13] Speaker D: You do what you gotta do. [00:16:15] Speaker B: No, it was fun. We, uh. Did you get birds scared up a bunch of pigs? We were down in Oklahoma. Oh, some wild pigs. [00:16:22] Speaker D: They were out there when it was dark, wasn't it? [00:16:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:24] Speaker D: Yeah. We, like, closed the door, and, uh, they were just like, what the is going on? I was like, there's pigs over there. There's a feeder over there. But, um. Yeah, it was awesome, man. I didn't, I haven't, I didn't get to go this past year just because the kids and stuff and time. But I'll get back on track. I always try to make time to do that just because it just, if I don't get to that's all I'm thinking about. [00:16:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:16:54] Speaker D: Especially during the spring. [00:16:55] Speaker A: Bugs bent you. Now, what's it like fishing with Andy Austin? [00:16:58] Speaker C: So, I grew up fishing, but. But, you know, just every once in a while with, like, my dad or my grandpa or whatever. And I. Honestly, I hadn't gone in years, and then when my wife and I moved here, we lived. We lived in Hermitage here. And so I would, like. I bought a couple fishing poles, went to Percy priest a couple times, and just sort of was on the bank and casting whatever. Never caught anything. Sort of, you know, was disinterested again. And then Andy showed me what's possible, and we went to. We were in. We were in near Chattanooga, and we were at this. We were at a wedding venue, actually. And there was a pond on this wedding venue, and there was enough time that morning to where. [00:17:44] Speaker A: Oh, so you guys were at a wedding. [00:17:46] Speaker C: We had some time to. And Andy knew. [00:17:49] Speaker A: That's some redneck shit. [00:17:51] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:17:52] Speaker C: And he knew this pond was there, so he had brought his fishing poles with him, man. And I believe you were in that little. You were in the small car, right? You weren't in your truck. Yeah. So Andy had, like, four or five fishing poles in this little hatchback car that they drove all the way from Nashville to Chattanooga. And so we had some time to kill. So we go. They had two different ponds, and. And like I said, I hadn't been fishing, like, really fishing in a couple years. And so, Andy, it makes sense that he's a dad now and has kids, because, like, when you go fishing with him, and if you're like me and you need help, you're like, hey, I don't know how to do this. And he's gonna help you. And he's. [00:18:34] Speaker D: Even if you do know, I'm gonna help you just by default. [00:18:37] Speaker C: And he just loves. And he just loves. He just loves to do it, you know? [00:18:40] Speaker D: I'm sure it's annoying to some. [00:18:42] Speaker C: No, it's. [00:18:44] Speaker A: I would. I would need that help. [00:18:45] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:18:45] Speaker A: I don't know what I'm doing out there. [00:18:46] Speaker C: Yeah. And so. And so, basically, Andy, Annie would get. He would like, be like, here's. Here's the. Here's the bait you need for this. And then he got my. My line and stuff all sorted out, and then we. I remember I caught, like, a pretty small bass, but it was big for me, and then we sort of got jacked. We were like, okay, there's some fish in here. We moved down. There's this dock. [00:19:08] Speaker D: Okay. [00:19:10] Speaker C: And Andy. Andy, I'll let you take it from here, Andy. Because this was the best day of his life. [00:19:16] Speaker D: Second day was un freaking real. I would put it against Bill dance, Kevin Van dam, anybody that's got a pond. This pond, when it comes to crappies, was stocked. It was wild. So there was, like, a little pond on top of the hill, and then it was like a big dam, and a spring come out from it and went into this other pond. And if you have a pond out in the woods or on a farm or whatever, and it's spring fed, it'll have crappies. And I don't know why, technically, that is. It could be, like, the minerals in the water or something, but anyways. And I call him crappy. Some people call him crappie. Let's go. [00:19:54] Speaker A: I've heard of crappie. I was like, what the hell are you talking about? Crappie? [00:19:57] Speaker D: I don't understand where the o comes from because it's not in the front of it. So why would you call it a crappie? It's cr a p p I e. Crappie. [00:20:07] Speaker A: It's a really shitty fish. [00:20:08] Speaker D: Yeah, no, they taste great. But anyways, there's a small pond up top that's not even an acre. And then they're just pond download. That's probably 15 acres, 20 acres, and it's got this big dock on it. And I was like, dude, there might be some crappies on that dock down there. I was like, we need to get down there. We'll fish to it. We would just, like, fish down the bank. You know, catch. We caught probably six or seven bass on the way down there. And then once we got to that dock, I was like, here, let me tell this on real quick. And I shot a little jig up under there. Boom. Caught one. I was like, holy shit, dude. Just wait. Pitch it under there again. Caught another one. We did not stop catching them for an hour. And it was like, we still got videos on our phone from. It was like. It was like, one after the other. I told Tim, I was like, dude, just get it back under there. Get it back under there. You would flip your bell over, throw it under there, and by the time you flipped your bell back, you could just set your hook. He was on there. There was hundreds of them. [00:21:08] Speaker C: And even for someone like me, who like that, that's the first time I had specifically, like, you know, using the jigs that he had on the. On the line or whatever for me, and I would. I would just do what he said. He'd be like, just pull it and skip it under that dock. And then I was. I was catching the most fish I'd ever caught in my entire life. So, like, I can vouch for this. [00:21:24] Speaker D: It was fish in a barrel. [00:21:26] Speaker A: Literally fish in a barrel. [00:21:27] Speaker C: That leads to another interesting point, which you should explain, was that Andy didn't stop thinking about this place for the next year, two years after this. So he reached out to the owner of the venue. [00:21:42] Speaker D: Oh, so it's. It's a wedding venue, and they've got. It's this big farm, and they've got, like, four places you can get married on. [00:21:49] Speaker A: What's the name of it? We'll shout him out, or we don't want to shout him out, because we don't want people going in there and fishing. [00:21:53] Speaker D: I don't know where it's at. I kind of know where it's at, but I don't know the name of it. [00:21:58] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't either. [00:21:59] Speaker D: But I sent an email, and I was just like, hey, my name's Andy. I was in a wedding there. I just wanted to say how awesome of a job y'all's pond manager has done, because this. This pond is just unbelievable, and I would love to fish it again if you guys ever, you know, would allow me to, and I'd be willing to pay or whatever, blah, blah, blah. And they emailed me back. Oh, yeah, of course we'd love to have you. You just can't come whenever somebody's having a wedding or whatever because of pictures and stuff. And I could just see somebody paying a bunch for a wedding and pictures. [00:22:30] Speaker C: And they're like. [00:22:33] Speaker D: Some redneck with a stringer full of crappies. Mandy. But now I haven't got a chance to go back down there. But there's. There's times I lay in the bed and look in the ceiling. We've think about it. [00:22:44] Speaker C: As soon as he got the permission from the lady, we. We, like, we're texting back and forth about it, and we were like, we need to plan a writing retreat. [00:22:52] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, a writing retreat. There's venues down there, too, I think. A writing retreat. An old hickory show in Chattanooga, but. [00:23:00] Speaker D: With a fish fry. [00:23:01] Speaker C: With a good excuse. [00:23:01] Speaker A: With a fish fry. Come to the show, and you can eat all of our crappie. [00:23:05] Speaker D: Yeah. People in Chattanooga would understand. [00:23:08] Speaker A: Oh, they would. Dude, I like Chattanooga a lot. I've been down there a few times, and it's funny. Cause you get, like, the taste of Tennessee, but the taste of Georgia. It's that perfect blend of both states in one place. I spent some time in your home state. Dan. This year, Ohio has become one of my favorite fucking places on the Internet. [00:23:28] Speaker B: Country music, bro. [00:23:29] Speaker A: It's become one of my favorite places. And Ohio gets shit. The Ohio man is the Florida man of the midwest. Ohio is the butt of everybody's jokes in the midwest, the nation. But I do. [00:23:45] Speaker B: You just got to go party in the. In a field and listen to music. [00:23:47] Speaker A: Yeah. Which is what we did at country concert in Fort Laramie, Ohio, dude. And it was. It was fun going through Ada, Ohio, bro, and stopping in there. And they got drive through liquor stores out there and, like, small town shit. And they might have. [00:24:01] Speaker B: How is that not a thing everywhere? [00:24:03] Speaker A: I don't know. I don't know if the rest of the world can handle it. [00:24:05] Speaker B: I remember coming down here and being like, where's the nearest drive through? I need to get some dip or whatever. [00:24:11] Speaker D: Drive through to get some dip? [00:24:13] Speaker B: What are you talking about? [00:24:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:14] Speaker B: Like, what? There's the one on every block. [00:24:16] Speaker A: It would crush down here. It really would. It would crush. Now where? [00:24:20] Speaker D: It's not like it doesn't make sense that they wouldn't have them. [00:24:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:24:23] Speaker D: Because it's just. It's literally different. [00:24:26] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:24:27] Speaker D: But even, like, the liquor store, it's just coolers in there. It's like stand up coolers that you could buy anywhere and you just got beer and whatever else that you would get. [00:24:37] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a drive through, like, convenience store. Some of them have, like, pizza that they sell. That they sell out of there. Like gas station pizza. Like, get some hump brothers action, you know? [00:24:45] Speaker C: Yes. [00:24:45] Speaker A: I hate hump brothers, by the way. I'm a godfather. Yeah. I'm a godfather guy. If it comes to the gas station pizza. Some of them pizza. Pizza snob, dude. I fucking. I hate on a lot of pizza, but hump brother, like, I could see, like, a hump brothers in a drive through. [00:24:58] Speaker D: Kind of good pizza in Alabama a couple weeks ago. Oh, really? Yeah, we went down there for. [00:25:06] Speaker A: Nice. How was that? [00:25:07] Speaker C: It was cool. [00:25:08] Speaker D: What was it? Like? Martin's pizza Lake? [00:25:10] Speaker C: Martin Pizza company? Yeah. [00:25:12] Speaker D: Yeah. You know, pizza is really good whenever you take a bite of it, like, damn, this is good. And then your second bite's good, and your third bite's good. It's not like the first bite. And you're like, I'm gonna throw this crust and get another piece. Yeah, the crust was as good as the first. You know the point? [00:25:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:28] Speaker B: The next day I played at Chuck's Marina and they had pizza there. And it was some of the best pizza I've ever had. [00:25:35] Speaker A: Wow. [00:25:35] Speaker B: I was like, who knew great pizzas in Lake Martin, Alabama? [00:25:39] Speaker D: There's a lot of witness protection. [00:25:42] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying, bro. Yeah. Where are they gonna. Where are they gonna send the gottis of the world? They're gonna send the Lake Martin and Alabama, bro. Nobody's gonna find them. They got a body of water. You can put the bodies there if you want to. Swimming with the crappie, making the pizza. [00:26:00] Speaker C: It's the new ozark, bro. [00:26:01] Speaker A: Yeah. We've actually talked about wanting to do next year a raised rowdy lake tour. Like, do, like, shows at different, like, lake areas. Like, do, like, Lake Norris, which is the Ohio of the south. Like, it is nothing but Ohio people. [00:26:14] Speaker D: We got a funny story about that. [00:26:16] Speaker A: Oh, really? I was gonna say, you've probably been to Shanghai marina a time or two, right? [00:26:20] Speaker B: I don't know that name, but is it on Lake Norris? [00:26:22] Speaker A: Yeah, it's on Lake Norris. Yeah. [00:26:24] Speaker B: Yeah. So growing up, I always heard Lake Norris. [00:26:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:27] Speaker B: That was like a vacation spot. [00:26:29] Speaker A: Yeah. It's all Ohio license plates. [00:26:31] Speaker B: Norris Lake is what we. You're on Norris Lake? Oh, man, that's awesome. So we went. My wife's grandma's sister has a lake house there. And we went a couple years ago for whole family vacation, and I'm, like, going on about it for weeks. Like, we're going to Norris Lake. Finally, Andy, one, or Tim, one of them goes, what the fuck is Norris Lake? They're like, nobody knows where Norris Lake is. [00:26:56] Speaker A: Yeah. This lake. [00:27:02] Speaker D: We grew up so far from each other. I mean, Dan and Tim are closer, but, like, I don't know anything about Ohio. [00:27:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:08] Speaker D: Other than Ohio state's there and Dan's from there. [00:27:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:11] Speaker D: And it's like, I'm sure he doesn't know much about North Carolina or ten. Like, I don't know anything about Kentucky either. No disrespect. I've been up there since. Love them both. But, yeah, it was just funny. He was just like, yeah, man, we're going to north Lake. I was like, where the fuck is Norris Lake at? [00:27:27] Speaker B: It's like you're talking about it like it's Disney world. [00:27:30] Speaker D: Can we go? [00:27:32] Speaker A: It's a straight shot on I 75 for folks from Ohio, and it is nothing but Ohio state decals and Ohio license plates. Like, when we were down there, I was. I went there for 4 July this year. I have some Aaron and I have some friends who are from out there, and we were out on a boat out, hanging out. And we just got talking to this group of dudes from Ohio. And I was like, yeah, I'm going to Ohio next week. And they're like, country concert. And I'm like, fuck, yeah. And it was like all the, like in Ohio, there's. It's so simple. There's just, it's. You go to Norris Lake in the summer, you go to country concert in the summer. You cheer on the buckeyes in the fall. Like, it's. Ohio's just simple, dude. It's very similar to the south, you know, has some very country elements to it. Unless you get into the cities. The cities in Ohio a little. Little different. [00:28:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:19] Speaker A: Akron. Toledo. Dayton. Cincinnati. Cincinnati is pretty wild. There's some Cincinnati where you pass Florence. Y'all going through Kentucky and shit. [00:28:34] Speaker D: We did. We spent a lot or not a lot, but we spent some time up in Kentucky when we went out with Dylan Marlowe back in February. And Kentucky. Kentucky felt good, too, man. [00:28:45] Speaker C: Yeah, I gotta show them around Lexington. [00:28:47] Speaker D: Oh, music lovers up there. [00:28:51] Speaker A: Where was the show in Lexington? [00:28:53] Speaker C: It was at the borough. At the borough. [00:28:54] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:28:56] Speaker C: That was one of the best. I mean, like, that was the. It was a second to last show that we did with Dylan. It was the fifth of six, but I mean, I mean, the way, the way that I remember it, like, the, the last show we did was pretty great, too. Like, the crowd stuff, but that, the energy in the burrow that night was like. [00:29:16] Speaker D: Yeah, it was, it was legit. [00:29:17] Speaker C: It was awesome. [00:29:18] Speaker A: I went to Lexington with the Muscadine boys back in the day. We did Manchester City at the club there. And it was one of the most electric nights that I remember with those guys was like, that was back when they used to play shut your mouth. Like, if you ain't about the south, shut your mouth. And they played that in there, in the room. I thought like a mosh pit was. The Kentucky folks love their music, bro. Yeah, dude, that was my, was my era of, like, being with Gary and Charlie was like that stuff. Like the pre Covid dude. They are, dude. And that's what's cool, too. I see, like, a lot of them and you guys, like, obviously. And then you talk about being on the road with Dylan, a guy who's killing it more in the mainstream kind of lane. And then a guy like ZT, like Zach, who is very much y'all style of sound. And now getting the. The mainstream love, like, for a time, for a trio that has the harmonies, that has the songs that you. That you boys have. Now is like the perfect time for what you guys are doing. What was it like being out with Zack? [00:30:16] Speaker D: We just played that one. [00:30:17] Speaker A: Oh, it's just that one national show. [00:30:19] Speaker D: Just the one. [00:30:19] Speaker B: Oh, just his album release party. [00:30:22] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:22] Speaker B: Which. [00:30:22] Speaker A: That was an epic night. That was the exit in. Exit in was crazy, dude. [00:30:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:28] Speaker A: Remember hanging out at the merch table with you guys? I know, I saw, I saw. Sold a couple t shirts for a sec. Throwback to met my old past life Murchy. Matt. Yeah, dude, that's what's fun too. Is now going to the festivals and selling the raised rowdy merch. Nikki T is like, hey, do you want a break from the merch? So I know I got this. This is easy. Like, I'm just hanging out at a festival. Ten a country concert, just selling t shirts. Like, I can do this shit. [00:30:53] Speaker B: That was my first impression of you guys. Raised reality. When I first got to town, I had always heard like, raise reality. Raise reality is this cool brand and stuff. And it's just like they just travel to concerts and party and sell shit. [00:31:07] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, dude. And back in the day, like a country concert. It was like wild when Nick and his. Because Nick. Nick started going to country concert in 2012. And then it's been every year that they've had it since with the same group of people, which they. It's like everybody at country concert camps. So you have about 20 to 30,000 people a day. And everybody. And everybody's camping. There's no hotel for about 50 miles. It's out in Fort Lauramie, Ohio. And Nick and his friends, they went on a bachelor party and that's how they ended up there was. It was a bachelor party trip. Let's go to those music festival. FGL was playing. FGL and Wyatt McCubbin were playing the side, like the camper party. And it was like way back in the day. Shout out to Wyatt and. Yeah. And then Nick and them would just start collecting people that were in the campground. Cause they would set up to, like, you've been to like the campground. A country concert. [00:31:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I played it two years ago. [00:32:00] Speaker A: So, like the camper side where it's like the other side of that, I guess you would say, like the highway, but it's like that one or that two lane road. Like you go through the tunnel. And we set up camp on the right side. So everybody has to walk past us to get to the. To get to the festival area. So Nick and them would just start collecting people. And now it's like a crew of, like, 30, 40 people that go every year set up in the same spot. One of the guys grills breakfast, one of the guys grills out dinner. Like, we have, like, a whole system, but it was, like, rowdy, like, country con. It's a Byob festival. Wow, byob. [00:32:36] Speaker D: Is there many like that? [00:32:38] Speaker A: Not anymore. Not anymore. And it's family owned. It's been going for 42 years. [00:32:42] Speaker D: How big is the piece of property that it's. [00:32:45] Speaker A: God, it's gotta be hundreds. Hundreds of acres. They have their own amphitheater, like, built into it. Cause they own the land. Yeah, it's like, it's. It's its own thing. It's unlike anything else I've been doing. I love our other festival partners that we go to as well, but it's just. It's different. But that's how raised rowdy started. People. The people from the festival started calling them the rowdies because they were doing just crazy shit in the campground. They're like, these rowdies, like, no doubt about that. Yeah, just like, back in the day, like, 2012 to, like, before. Right before COVID was, like, the heyday of, like, Nikki T. And those folks. [00:33:18] Speaker B: Great name and brand. [00:33:20] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, it's fun. And I love how you made that. That hat. You took the flat brim out of it, and you made it custom and put the rope on it. Dude, I love what you did with that hat. Yeah, it's a one of one now. Nobody else has that hat. It's a one on one. We got more hats over there. We got a lot of different. A lot of, lot of different. A lot of new merchant stuff going, right? We're trying to. Dude, it's like you guys would like. You have to post the content here. You have to do your gigs. You have to do this. Like, our gigs are like the events that we do, you know? So it's a grind, just like the artist thing, you know? So I went, so, like, I know you're a big disc golf guy. You love being out in the woods or on the water. Then for you, it's like motorcycles, right? Is motorcycle your. Your hobby or. What's your thing you're doing outside of music? [00:34:10] Speaker B: Harley's golf. [00:34:11] Speaker A: Harley's in golf. Who's the best golfer out of the three, you guys? [00:34:14] Speaker D: Dan. [00:34:14] Speaker A: Dan. [00:34:15] Speaker C: Dan's really good. [00:34:16] Speaker D: For now. [00:34:17] Speaker A: For now. Oh, Andy's got that. And he's got that competitive streak in him. [00:34:23] Speaker C: He's got the bug. [00:34:24] Speaker D: I'm so competitive. [00:34:26] Speaker A: I know you are. You've always been. You've always been that way, dude. [00:34:30] Speaker D: Yeah. So, Dan. I'll say this disclaimer. Dan is an amazing golfer. And when I play golf with Daniel, it's kind of like the kid that's scared of his dad. After I hit a shot, I look over at Dan and be like, was that good? And he'll give me the thumbs up. And that kind of makes the hole for me, you know? [00:34:48] Speaker B: I'm not really that good. I'll shoot, like, mid eighties high. [00:34:52] Speaker A: That's good. That's very good. [00:34:54] Speaker B: I think Andy'll be like, so if you wanted to hit a certain shot and be, like, on the tee box about to hit, I'd be like, I don't know what the hell. [00:35:02] Speaker A: I just hit the ball, and it goes where it goes. [00:35:05] Speaker D: Yeah, we got the bug. I got the bug at Dan's bachelor party. [00:35:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:35:11] Speaker D: And the first tee box that come up, everybody was there, and I just hit it off the golf cart, you know, 15 yards to the right. And I was like, gosh, you can't stop embarrassing yourself. [00:35:21] Speaker C: So that was the first time that we had all went, like. Just took an actual day to golf together, a big group of us. And then we went. We went up and played a. In Ohio, right. About a month ago or so. And while we were there, we spent the next Saturday morning golfing with Dan's dad. And that just sort of lit the fire even more, dug the hole even deeper. [00:35:46] Speaker B: It's so fun. [00:35:49] Speaker D: Yeah, it's so fun to not even. I mean, it's something that's fun to do, and you're not even good. [00:35:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:54] Speaker D: Just because you're just bullshitting with your buddy. [00:35:57] Speaker A: Yeah. I used to play a lot during COVID Like, during COVID and, like. Like, growing up, I would play, like, I have multiple bags of golf clubs in my garage, but I haven't played in, like, four years, so it's been a while. [00:36:07] Speaker B: Covid was big for golf. [00:36:09] Speaker A: Oh, dude, Covid was. [00:36:10] Speaker B: Everybody was gone. [00:36:10] Speaker A: Very big, dude. Everybody was at Nashboro Village, bro. Nashboro Village. Twelve stones. That was when they had that golf now app or whatever it was on the phone. You could get out and play for, like, 20. You can play courses for, like, half the price. Because it was during COVID and they were just trying to stay open. You could all afford to golf everywhere. [00:36:27] Speaker B: I lived right next to two rivers. [00:36:28] Speaker A: Oh, so you were walking two rivers all the time? [00:36:30] Speaker B: Yeah, you could just go on whenever there was, like, a line of, like, 30 dudes on the first tee box because the clubhouse was closed. Yeah, just get out of your car, walk to the tee box and play. [00:36:39] Speaker D: Dang. [00:36:39] Speaker B: And there's a couple guys, like, trailer their own golf carts to the course and just like, get them off the trailer and drive. They're like personal golf cart. [00:36:49] Speaker D: Yeah. Whenever. Whenever we win the lottery. We're not going to tell anybody, but there'll be sons. You know, we'll get. We're gonna get Dana souped up golf cart. Oh, it looks like a Harley. [00:37:02] Speaker A: Okay. [00:37:03] Speaker D: With the flowmasters on it. [00:37:06] Speaker A: That'd be cool. Whipping around in the golf cart. You'd be doing donuts behind scoreboard and music valley. [00:37:12] Speaker C: He put it to use. [00:37:13] Speaker A: Oh, he definitely would know. [00:37:14] Speaker D: I know Daley's got a custom golf cart. [00:37:18] Speaker A: Yeah, daily freaking Liz buses at old Hickory Country Club. [00:37:22] Speaker C: Yeah.

One of the few dudes that's allowed to have cigarettes inside the building at loser. I think it's like him. Post Malone and Aaron Lewis are like, the three that can light up a dark. Can light up a dark. Can light up a dart inside of losers. [00:38:10] Speaker D: Yeah, they make the rules, man. [00:38:13] Speaker A: Oh, dude. Dude, it's awesome. It's wild. [00:38:17] Speaker B: I love when somebody's been like, John Dale, been famous for 30 years, but now he's just like, everybody loves him now he's super famous. [00:38:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:26] Speaker B: Just for being cool as shit. [00:38:28] Speaker A: Yeah, just for being John Daley. Just for being John Daly. [00:38:31] Speaker B: Not for his amazing golf career. [00:38:33] Speaker A: No. Not for hitting a golf ball, like, over 300 yards before everybody was doing it. Like, he was, like, one of the early, like, just smack the hell out. [00:38:41] Speaker D: Of the mouth with a mullet and a cigarette in his mouth. [00:38:42] Speaker A: With the mullet, the cigarette in his mouth. Drinking, like, a case of Coca Cola on the course. Packing a half of cigarettes on the course. The big bag of peanut M and Ms. Yeah, battling diabetes. Like, just going for it, dude. Daily. Nineties golf at its finest. [00:39:02] Speaker D: Daily. This is our ask if you need anybody to fill in to play golf with you at old Hickory? Old Hickory would love to. [00:39:11] Speaker A: We know he writes songs. I think we got an old hickory John Daley right at old Hickory Country Club. [00:39:17] Speaker D: Yeah. Parts one and 2740. Tee time. [00:39:22] Speaker A: Yes. [00:39:23] Speaker D: Next Thursday. We'll see you. [00:39:26] Speaker B: We'll play from the women's tees. [00:39:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Play from. Play. Don't be playing from the tips with John. Smoke you. You will. You will smoke you. So what, um. So as far as, like, the new music or I guess right now, countries in, like, an interesting place where it's kind of like anything. Anything goes, you know? Or like, you have all this different genre blending, but you guys are, like, true grit. Like, the nineties. The nineties. Country. Two thousands. Country stuff. So, like, how any thoughts on, like, all that kind of stuff or where do you guys kind of all fit into the puzzle? [00:40:01] Speaker C: I don't know. I think really, at this point, like, with this stuff being so, like, just us as the music we've been making, the music we've been writing the last couple years, it's just. We're just trying to sort of do what feels natural to us. And so, like, we got a great pile of songs, stuff that, like, we're super proud of then now, like that we're, you know, this. This being our first fully produced music. And, like, us sort of still, you know, three songs in, we're gonna. We're trying to find our sound. Like, we know that the harmony stuff is part of that, and that's really what sets us apart. But it's also us, like, when it comes to the fully produced music, we're trying to figure out what is our sound that makes that. Like, as soon as you hear it, you know, it's an old hickory record. Besides hearing us sing, you know? And so I think that that's the cool thing about, like, where music is currently. And it's. It's obviously constantly changing, you know? Yeah, but. But this resurgence of. Of the more traditional stuff and, like, I feel like we sort of. There's a good blend of that. Like. Like, there's. If you go back and listen to the Tuesday nights at scoreboard album, like, there's songs that are. They, like, feel like very nineties and very traditional. And there's some songs that, like, feel like they could be on the radio. Like they're modern, but they still have that familiar feel. [00:41:31] Speaker A: What's one of. What's one of those modern ones? [00:41:34] Speaker C: I would say, like a song, like, looking at her. [00:41:36] Speaker A: Yep. [00:41:38] Speaker C: Sort of feels like a radio smash all day long, but it still works, you know, with, like, what we do and with the harmonies and stuff. And so I think that this new stuff that we're. That we've been recording and the songs we're gonna record next all still, like, there's that through line of, like, what makes us. Us while still being, like, not necessarily, like, pigeonholing ourselves into one specific thing, but it's still at the. At the core of it. You gotta listen to it and say, that's country music. You know, I think that's what's cool. [00:42:10] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. It's like, it's not necessarily. We're not trying to be diamond Rio or we're not trying to be, you know, Ronnie Dunn and kicks Brooks. It's more just our take on what we grew up listening to blended together, and it's who we are, so that's why it feels so natural. And we do it every Tuesday night. You know, it's not like we got to hype ourself up to be something that we're not before we play a show, wherever that is. So it just feels. Yeah, it just feels like our take on. On country music from. From three perspectives that all agree. [00:42:55] Speaker A: Yeah, that's awesome. I love to the. I noticed it for the first time. I got. It had been a while since I've been the scoreboards, you know, but the old hickory room and, like, the old hickory. I guess there's old hickory whiskey or old Hickory bourbon or something. And, like, the whole section is just labeled as, like, the old hickory this, the old hickory that, and it's like Tuesday nights at scoreboard. Tuesdays at scoreboard with. With old hickory. You know, it's perfect branding for you guys. It's a cool home for you guys to be doing your thing at. [00:43:23] Speaker B: Yeah. There was old hickory whiskey. Reached out to them and was gonna do a room and just stars aligned. It was like, perfect timing because they were gonna do that and we were like, well, we do have a band that plays here once, sometimes twice a week. [00:43:37] Speaker D: You're not gonna believe this, but they have the same name. [00:43:41] Speaker B: We'll include them on the deal. Put a. [00:43:43] Speaker A: They have the same name and they will drink your whiskey. [00:43:46] Speaker D: Yeah, we'll be in a license fighting with them for the next 20 years. We hate those guys. [00:43:55] Speaker A: Do we have any, like, shows coming up or anything on the calendar aside from Tuesdays at scoreboard? [00:44:01] Speaker C: Yeah. So, like, I'm trying to think of. We have a lot. We have a lot of stuff in town. Obviously we're gonna be playing like a listening room show on a Friday night with Jim Beavers. [00:44:13] Speaker A: Oh, sick. That'll be cool. [00:44:14] Speaker C: That'll be cool. I think that's Friday the 13 September. I'm trying to think we. [00:44:22] Speaker D: Friday the first. [00:44:23] Speaker C: That's right. [00:44:24] Speaker A: Spooky. What's gonna happen? [00:44:29] Speaker C: Let's see if Jim Beavers pranks us at all. [00:44:31] Speaker D: Yeah, not a chance. [00:44:33] Speaker C: Yeah, already. If you're out there, Jim, we're listening, we're ready, we're watching our backs. But yeah, we, so we've been playing a lot of like, besides the usual Tuesday nights or Friday nights at scoreboard or whatever, we've been playing like a lot of like private gigs. We've been getting some bookings from different people and, and I think we just got scheduled. We're supposed to play a festival in like a maybe a one day festival, weekend festival, something in Owensboro, Kentucky towards the end of September. Like the 28 September. I think. I think that's the next out of town thing we have. [00:45:09] Speaker A: Nice. [00:45:10] Speaker C: A lot of our traveling was mostly earlier in the year. Yeah, we just been, we're still just booking ourselves. So, yeah, we're sort of taking, as people reach out to us, we're just like, yeah, we'll do it. [00:45:21] Speaker A: Yeah, what's, yeah, what's the team kind of look like right now with what you guys got? [00:45:25] Speaker D: So we are signed over at River House. Yep. And we have, I don't really necessarily know how many people are over there. There's quite a few, but we're signed at River House. And we're also working with Leanna over at KPE. [00:45:42] Speaker A: Nice. [00:45:43] Speaker D: And she's really helping us out with these next three singles that we have kind of lined up and. Yeah, I mean, that's, that's pretty much, it's not like some big long list, you know? [00:45:54] Speaker A: No, I don't think it has to be, though, especially for where you guys are at. Like, the three of you boys know what the fuck you want to do and know what you're doing. And it's gonna, it's gonna get there. [00:46:05] Speaker B: You know, we do have NFR in December again. [00:46:09] Speaker C: Oh, that's right. [00:46:10] Speaker A: Oh, you guys are going to NFR. There is a very, very, very small chance that we end up out there. The Nikki T and I. I've never been to Vegas. I've never. You've been out there? I'm guessing. [00:46:21] Speaker C: We've never been. [00:46:22] Speaker A: Last year, how was it? What was your first time? Your first time in Vegas? [00:46:26] Speaker D: I am. You big gambler no, not really. [00:46:31] Speaker A: But when you're in Vegas. [00:46:32] Speaker D: Yeah. I mean, I downloaded a blackjack app on my phone. [00:46:37] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. Competitive. [00:46:41] Speaker D: Yeah. I like playing some blackjack. [00:46:43] Speaker C: It was fun. We had fun. [00:46:44] Speaker D: It is. It's fun playing with them. [00:46:46] Speaker C: It was fun. [00:46:46] Speaker D: I don't necessarily know that I would want to sit down and play with four strangers, but it's fun sitting beside Dan. [00:46:51] Speaker C: Yeah. Just having a whole table of people that, you know, it's just fun. [00:46:55] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:46:55] Speaker A: See, I'm like a slot machine guy. Like, low budget. And play. Put in $20. Whatever happens, happens. Maybe put in another 20, try to cut it off at like 220. See? You know, run a budget same way, too. [00:47:08] Speaker C: And I'd never. I'd never been to a casino that had a table game. I don't spend the casinos that had slots or whatever. And I would do the same thing. I would. [00:47:15] Speaker B: The moose. Lodge the moose. [00:47:17] Speaker D: I got two in the back. What's the password? [00:47:20] Speaker C: Don't tell anybody. [00:47:21] Speaker D: Geronimo. Let him in. [00:47:24] Speaker C: And so, like, the same thing. Like, if I lost $20, I'm like, okay, I'm done. And then, you know, being at. When you're staying in the casino, obviously, you go down to the. To the lobby or whatever, and you're there and you're just hanging out. And then they have, you know, it wasn't any of these high stakes tables or whatever. It's just like $15 hands or whatever, which, thinking about it, is still a lot to me, you know, but in the moment, you're just like, okay. You know, like, you double your money and you double your money again, then you lose maybe 15 or whatever. And so you just sit there for 3 hours, and you're basically even again. [00:47:58] Speaker A: And they're just bringing you the drinks over and over again, too. [00:48:01] Speaker C: And so then we're not. [00:48:03] Speaker D: We're not, like, being quiet either. We're like, yelling and screaming and having a great time. [00:48:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:08] Speaker D: So they're just pouring us drinks because we're making everybody else around us want to play. [00:48:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:48:12] Speaker D: But, man, it was so fun. [00:48:14] Speaker C: We were there for seven days. We were there for an entire week. [00:48:18] Speaker A: Wow. [00:48:18] Speaker C: And that was a long time in Vegas. A long time, yeah. [00:48:21] Speaker A: I've heard. It's like three days is like the max of what you should do. And you guys did over double that. [00:48:26] Speaker C: Yeah. Which, I mean, like, it's not like we were just there to just, you know, goof off or whatever, because we were. We literally played, I think, every twelve times. We played twelve separate times in that seven days. [00:48:38] Speaker A: Wow. [00:48:39] Speaker C: Six day span, really? And so then we were. Once we got back to the hotel, we would sit there for a couple hours, and we'd go to bed, you know, so. But it was. [00:48:47] Speaker B: It's. [00:48:47] Speaker C: It's. It's fun. If you. If you guys get to go, I think you'll enjoy it. [00:48:50] Speaker A: Yeah. Nikki T used to go because his parents were in the casinos, so he used to go as a child on the family trips to the casinos, you know, so he's easy, I don't think. And I think he's experienced it of being older, too. But, yeah, I've wanted to go, and I feel like I'd be okay since I don't drink. Like, I won't get caught up in as much of the shit. I'll just be up in the clouds, just looking at all the lights and just kind of floating along, you know? It'll feel good. It'll feel good, and it'll be good. So that's cool. The NFR let us know. Yeah, dude, absolutely. Because there's a. There's a losers out there, so that's what I think we would be. That's where I think we would be at. So it'd be cool if you guys are out there and we're out there doing stuff to have you guys as a part of raise Rowdy's first ever Vegas thing. Yeah, that'd be pretty sick. [00:49:35] Speaker C: Sick. Yeah. NFR is something. [00:49:37] Speaker A: It's, like, a lot of people. [00:49:38] Speaker C: It's wild. [00:49:39] Speaker D: Oh, yeah, it's crazy. [00:49:41] Speaker C: Amount of people. [00:49:41] Speaker D: Crazy. And there's. There's so many, like, so we went last year. We stayed at the Palms, but you have, like, the NFR that's going on, which is, like the World Series or the Super bowl of rodeo, and then at South Point, which is another casino that's, like, at the very end of the strip, that casino was completely made, and the hotel was made for this. That event roping. Yeah, the rodeo. And so there's team roping that goes on there, and there's, like, I might be wrong on the number of this, but there's, like, 40,000 people that are there that entire two weeks. [00:50:18] Speaker A: Wow. [00:50:19] Speaker D: And they. They do, like a. It's almost like the. It's not. It's not knockoff. It's just like, it's nothing. The NFR, it's like it's pRc or something. Yeah. So it's. It's like its own organization thing that does it there, and they. It's like five, six levels. Hotel. It's insane how big it is. And there's whole. I mean, there's thousands of horses, stalls, all that stuff, you know, stables that horses are staying in, and people are feeding horses and trailers and stuff in the parking lot. And it's like you go inside of. All you see is cowboy hats the entire time. [00:50:56] Speaker A: Just lots of Doug dimmer domes everywhere. Yeah. [00:51:01] Speaker D: Yeah, it was. It was a lot of fun. I. I enjoyed it. I know the guys did. We were there for seven days. It was long. [00:51:07] Speaker A: Yeah, seven days is a long time. [00:51:09] Speaker D: It would have sucked along. [00:51:11] Speaker A: Seven days is what we do for Key West. Nick and I always do. We go down before, and we stay a couple days after the Key West Songwriters festival, and by the end of it, we're always like, why, we do this for seven days. But there's worse places to be. [00:51:25] Speaker D: I can stay in the keys for 70 years. [00:51:28] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where do you guys, like, going on, like, trips and stuff? You an outer banks guy? [00:51:35] Speaker D: No, I mean, when I was a kid, we'd always go to Myrtle beach, but 30. [00:51:40] Speaker A: Myrtle, baby. [00:51:41] Speaker D: Yeah. Back in the. Back in the pavilion days. Oh. But I mean, now my wife lives in Miami, so when we go to Miami in December or Thanksgiving or when we visit, we usually go to the keys. [00:51:56] Speaker A: Nice. [00:51:56] Speaker D: So. But we don't necessarily always go down to Key west. We'll just go, like, halfway down marathon her. She's got an aunt and uncle. They have a place down there. [00:52:04] Speaker B: Nice. [00:52:04] Speaker D: And it's paradise. [00:52:06] Speaker A: That's cool. [00:52:07] Speaker C: Years ago, we started going to a spot, like, in Miramar beach, like, right near Destin or whatever. [00:52:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:14] Speaker C: And, dude, that's been our. That's become our, like, new thing of, like, I mean, this fall, obviously, since we're having a baby, we can't do it. But, like, lindsey's, like, every now, this year, every on my birthday, every year, I want to go to the beach. Now I'm going to that same spot. [00:52:28] Speaker A: So, yeah, go down the panhandle's great. The redneck Riviera, baby. It's great down there. Floribama. Some great. [00:52:35] Speaker D: Where did y'all go when y'all went to the beach? [00:52:39] Speaker B: Destin. Okay, then. We'd done that twice. [00:52:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I like. I like it down there. [00:52:44] Speaker B: Good spot. [00:52:44] Speaker D: There's some. [00:52:45] Speaker B: We. We've found, like, a couple restaurants that we can't not go to now down. [00:52:49] Speaker D: There and, like, order the same thing. [00:52:51] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:52:52] Speaker D: You got into a dad, man. Made it down there in 2 hours and 19 minutes. [00:52:59] Speaker A: We're making great time. We ain't stopping for gas. [00:53:03] Speaker B: Pork chop on the beach. [00:53:05] Speaker C: Yes. [00:53:06] Speaker A: Telling. Telling. Poor Mary. She just. You just got to hold it, you know? We're making good time. We got to get through this. Gotta get through this trip. [00:53:12] Speaker B: She's a full on cruise girl now, though. We went on a cruise for. [00:53:16] Speaker A: Oh, I've never been on a cruise. [00:53:18] Speaker B: It was pretty awesome. And that's probably, like, the only vacation that she wants to take now. She's like, we have to go on another cruise as soon as possible. And I'm. I'm in. Same way as. It was freaking awesome. [00:53:32] Speaker A: That's cool. [00:53:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:53:33] Speaker D: Where did y'all go for that? [00:53:35] Speaker B: The first stop was Key west. [00:53:37] Speaker A: Oh, nice. Yeah, there's that big ass cruise ship that just comes in. There's a different one. Turn your head. It's a different cruise ship. Just all the people. And then the popular. So big population of the island doubles when the cruise comes in. [00:53:49] Speaker B: It's crazy. Yeah, we. It was, like, a day or two after the festival was over. [00:53:53] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:53:54] Speaker B: So, yeah, it was, like, first week of May, and so there was, like, still a couple scragglers, like, some people that we knew that were still down there, but we were just there for the day. [00:54:04] Speaker D: And. [00:54:05] Speaker B: And, yeah, those cruise ships are insane. Like, we were walking back to ours, and there was another one that had docked while we were on the island. And we're walking back, and that one, that. The next one that came was, like, three times the size. [00:54:18] Speaker A: Wow. [00:54:19] Speaker B: And I thought our ship was the biggest thing in the whole entire world. [00:54:21] Speaker D: You walk past it for, like, 15 minutes. [00:54:23] Speaker C: Wow. [00:54:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:26] Speaker A: That is crazy. Ever been to put in bay? No. I've heard that's a spot in Ohio to go to. [00:54:32] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Like a. Like, big lake. [00:54:34] Speaker C: Yeah, like a lake, like, up near Cleveland. [00:54:36] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, it's like, it's like, you. Instead of getting, like, a condo or, like, a cabin, you pay, like, an absurd amount of money to rent, like, a trailer for a weekend. Like, a double wide trailer. On this lake in Ohio. [00:54:49] Speaker B: Big, like, water park almost. [00:54:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:51] Speaker B: On the lake. [00:54:52] Speaker A: Yeah. Nikki T. Has talked about it, that it's crazy. I'm like, I want to go. There's like, dude, I can't go back there. I'm like, why not? So I haven't gotten that full story yet, but I'm like, I'm like, I kind of want to. I'm like, ohio is our big market, so I'm like, this seems like the lake destination in Ohio. If we do the lake tour, we got to go, and it's literally put space in bay. It's put in bayou. [00:55:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:55:16] Speaker D: Nikki tease you how to wear a wig next time you. [00:55:18] Speaker A: I know. That's what I'm saying. I have to dress him up. Last time. Last time Nikki dressed up with Santa Claus at our Christmas party. Our Christmas party at the. That was also the last night that he got really drunk. Was. We tried bad Santa at the raised rowdy Christmas party at the Rusty nail. Him and I sang Creed together. I saw Creed last night. [00:55:38] Speaker B: I might have been there that night. [00:55:39] Speaker A: Were you? Yeah, I think you and Mary Popeye. Yeah, it was crazy. I saw Creed last night before. That's where Nick and I were. [00:55:45] Speaker C: Really? [00:55:46] Speaker A: Yeah, it's where we were before. We were at a send. [00:55:47] Speaker D: What's your favorite Creed song? [00:55:49] Speaker A: Live hire was just a moment. I know that's like the. The basic casual fan answer, but, like, the crowd erupting that can you take me higher? Was crazy. My sacrifice was awesome. So I had a buddy my first time here in Creed. I was. Which we could talk about what you guys all kind of grew up listening to as well. But I had a buddy, Anthony Navarro, and his dad. Gerry Navarro. Gerard. He was italian dude from queens. And he used to pick us up from football practice, and they would have us do football drills in the backyard. Just run an Oklahoma drill. No pads, just run at each other in high school. But he would pick us up in his little Ford truck and be playing creed. He'd be like, this song's about Jesus. Like, these guys that are christians listen to this shit. Because he was like a religion teacher, but he would talk about Creed. And that's how that was. My first impression of Creed was like, oh, this christian rock band kind of rocks. And obviously it's a lot more than that, but, yeah, it was cool. What'd you guys grow up listening to? I figured a lot of the country stuff, right? Put some classic rock in there. [00:56:49] Speaker D: Not necessarily. I mean, I can remember being in friends cars and stuff, and that was always on the radio, you know, but Creed. Yeah, Creed. [00:57:01] Speaker B: Every car I got into. Creed car. [00:57:07] Speaker A: Nickelback. [00:57:08] Speaker D: Yeah. Yeah, that was nickelback. Sorry. [00:57:12] Speaker A: No, that was crazy. I was Creed. I was saying, and nickelback, like, there's another band of better. All the butt rock bands. [00:57:18] Speaker D: That's the thing is, like, I don't remember the names of those things, but I remember the songs. But, like, I would say what I listen to. [00:57:26] Speaker A: What were you buying at Target or Fye? [00:57:28] Speaker D: If you had Brad Paisley guy. Brad Paisley, yeah, and Brad Paisley. Like, we let. We grew up in the days of cds. [00:57:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:57:36] Speaker D: So cds would come out on Tuesday night. They would restock the shelf at like 12:00 a.m. tuesday night. So I would always go to Walmart when a Brett Paisley record came out. And when they took them out of the box and put them on the thing, I would grab one. Like, I was there waiting when they put it out. [00:57:52] Speaker A: Wow. Die hard. [00:57:54] Speaker D: Yeah, it was bad. But again, I'm sitting beside Timothy Baker, the guitar master, and he's probably even bigger Brad Paisley fan than me. [00:58:02] Speaker C: That's one of the things. That's one of the many things we bond over. [00:58:04] Speaker D: Yeah, I can, I can air play guitar. Paisley guitar. Tim can actually play it on the guitar. Yeah. But yeah, I would. I mean, that was probably my biggest, biggest influence was Paisley and rascal flats. Like early rascal. [00:58:23] Speaker A: Rascal flats. That's the one. That's. When I think of it, of you belting a cover. I think of you hitting some Gary Levox, bro. [00:58:29] Speaker D: Yeah, I think of the rascal flats. And then there was a big John Mayer phase two. But who didn't have a John Mayer face? [00:58:35] Speaker A: I didn't really have one, honestly. I was too busy jamming the butt rock. Personally. I did. I didn't have a girlfriend. I didn't have a girlfriend. That was too, too into the John Mayer stuff. [00:58:43] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:58:43] Speaker A: So that's usually what gets you into the John Mayer's. [00:58:46] Speaker C: I didn't get into him until college. And I think at the time I was actually single and I found his cover. I just. It was like, on a YouTube thing. Like, I found a lot of, like, great music just through YouTube. Suggest, like, the next video that plays or whatever. And it was his cover of free fallen. And I listened to that probably 15 times in a row that night. I was like, I remember I was in my college dorm room on like, my futon or whatever. Listen to it 15 times. I was like, God, it's so good. And then I just went through his, like, the songs that I knew, but I didn't really pay attention to whatever that was when my John Mayer phase was. [00:59:24] Speaker D: Was like junior year, middle school, high school. [00:59:27] Speaker C: Really? [00:59:28] Speaker D: I can remember, like, I got to. [00:59:29] Speaker C: It late 8th grade. Yeah. [00:59:32] Speaker D: He had that live in LA record, dude. Insane. [00:59:37] Speaker A: Yeah, I gotta go and listen to that. [00:59:38] Speaker D: That was like the first time I can remember, like, listening to lyrics and being like, oh, that's what he means. You know what I mean? [00:59:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:59:46] Speaker D: Like, that's really smart. [00:59:48] Speaker A: You know what I mean? So what about you? What were you listening to a pretty. [00:59:53] Speaker B: Big spread of music. So my dad was, like, really eighties rock and nineties grunge, like Alison chains and Metallica and stuff. [01:00:02] Speaker D: I got a funny story about this. [01:00:05] Speaker A: Ac DC. [01:00:06] Speaker B: Yes, I'm AC DC. I had a buddy in middle school, Tyler, who still run around with. He played the drums back then, and I. He kind of played drums, and I kind of played guitar, and we'd, like, try to play AC DC. Shit. Billy Squire and just. [01:00:21] Speaker A: Hell, yeah. [01:00:22] Speaker B: But. And then my mom, all of her family, all of her side is very bluegrass and, like, old, old country nice. So I kind of landed right in the middle, just, like, down the middle country. Nineties, two thousands. You know, Hank Junior and Keith Whitley, and then moved on, like high school paisley, Aldean, Dirks Bentley, Justin Moore. Justin Moore. When I started singing, I purposely tried to sound as much like Justin Moore as I could, which was like, what you did. Like, you want to sound exactly like who you like to listen to. And then a couple years went by, I'm like, all right, maybe I should not try to sound exactly like somebody else. [01:01:09] Speaker A: Yeah, it's funny. Does she still hate it when you. When you listen to Hank? [01:01:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:01:14] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:01:16] Speaker A: Hank Junior. Still. Still your wild. Your wild turn it up song. Yeah, your wild turn it up music. [01:01:21] Speaker B: I think most of my wild days are behind me, but. [01:01:23] Speaker A: Yeah, kids will do that. [01:01:24] Speaker B: Yeah, they will. But still listen to it. [01:01:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:01:32] Speaker B: Still gotta jam it out every now and then. Still singing. [01:01:34] Speaker A: What songs are you playing? Like, in front? Like, when you're. Because they're starting. [01:01:37] Speaker C: Your. [01:01:38] Speaker A: Yours are starting. They're gonna get there where they're gonna know what they're listening to soon. What are some of their first songs gonna be besides the old hickory songs that dad is writing? [01:01:48] Speaker D: Two weeks. We've started. My oldest. We've started doing, like, dance parties in the living room. [01:01:55] Speaker A: Okay. [01:01:56] Speaker D: And we would just put on, like, two thousands mix or whatever, you know, or. And it's like, early Aldean stuff or any. Any of, like, it's so hard to get. Think of the songs, like, picking wildflowers is one of them on there that he. He laughs at and loves, but he. A two year old. Dancing is a. The funniest thing ever because it doesn't matter what he does. It's funny. And then he sees his mom and dad dancing with their hands above their head and all this stuff and. And, yeah, it's. It's hilarious. Definitely a moment I'll remember forever. But as far as, like, the songs, I don't know. Man. [01:02:40] Speaker C: A lot of old hickory. [01:02:41] Speaker A: A lot of old hickory. You don't know that. Overplayed. [01:02:48] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah. [01:02:50] Speaker B: It's either our songs or, like, soundtracks of their favorite movies. Right now I feel like. [01:02:55] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah. [01:02:56] Speaker B: Like, we'll be in the car and have to turn on the Moana sound down the road. Just listen to Moana. Yeah, you're welcome. [01:03:09] Speaker D: Into a thing that happens when you have kids is like, me and I, my wife will sing these songs and just make the words up to them. For instance, like, the other day, he was watching Oliver and company, which is about the cat in New York City. And, like, the intro scene, it's like. What does it say? It's like New York City. So we'll, like, just make the stupidest stuff up, you know, walking down the sidewalk, eating piece of pizza. New York City. And we do that all day long and laugh at each other. [01:03:45] Speaker C: That's the clip. [01:03:48] Speaker A: That's funny. Yeah, I watch. I watch quite a bit of bluey. Now. Blue is a show I've gotten behind a lot. I don't know if your kids are in the blue. [01:03:55] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. [01:03:57] Speaker A: I watch a lot of Bluey. There's some good. Some good Bluey episodes. [01:04:01] Speaker B: It is not bad. [01:04:02] Speaker A: No, blue is not bad at all. The Australians have that shit figured out, dude, it's australian tax dollars at work. That's like their bds. [01:04:09] Speaker B: Sit there and watch. Oh, dude, I like Mickey Mouse. You gotta. You gotta go watch it. [01:04:16] Speaker A: The old school Mickey Mouse is they did like the remakes of, like, the old, like, forties and fifties ones. And it's like. Like that kind of style animation and. Yeah, they go all over the place. There's the one that's like the zoo where there's like the baby panda. That was one that me and Charlotte bonded over early on when I. When I. When Aaron and I first got together. But. Yeah, Bluey, paw patrol, there's another one. We watch a lot of pup structure. They just put the word pup and dog on everything with a. You put a pup in front of anything and it's a kid show, you know. [01:04:45] Speaker B: Dogs, too. [01:04:46] Speaker A: Yeah, blues. Don't get all dogs. It's all dogs. [01:04:49] Speaker D: Animals. It's never. It's usually not people. [01:04:51] Speaker A: Yeah, when we were growing, it was like inanimate objects. Like SpongeBob. Yeah, no, I guess that's not an animal. He's a living. It's a living being in the ocean. But our kid shows were fucked with a squirrel art. [01:05:02] Speaker D: Squirrel under there. [01:05:03] Speaker A: Yeah, the squirrel under there from Texas. Sandy cheeks. [01:05:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:05:07] Speaker A: Sandy cheeks, bro. Then squidward, Mister Krabs Plankton. [01:05:11] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:05:11] Speaker C: I don't even know like what the kids that are 910 eleven or whatever. Like the cartoons nowadays. Oh, I watched, we lived in the golden age of. [01:05:20] Speaker A: And they love YouTube now, bro. Like these are all youtubers. [01:05:24] Speaker D: They watch other kids play. [01:05:26] Speaker A: Oh, dude, I watch so many minecraft building streaming things and it's just, there's. [01:05:33] Speaker D: This thing that my son likes to watch. It's a, it's a farm and it's a dad with his two kids and they just run around and drive tractors through puddles and throw their kid toys in the pond and run in there and grab them out and it's just the craziest stuff and it drives me nuts. Yeah. But it's just, it's just kids playing. [01:05:55] Speaker A: And they love watching YouTube because there's really no commercials. It's just quick. They can watch like the on demand stuff they haven't made up. But I kind of liked how it was like, oh, these cartoons are gonna be on, on this Saturday. On Saturday morning. This cartoon is gonna be on this channel. Like, I kind of like that as a kid. [01:06:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Like as soon as you get home from school, like 03:00, you know, rocket power. [01:06:14] Speaker A: 03:00 rock boogie wooty wooty. Like all that shit time. Yeah, dude, rocket power. Fairly odd parents. [01:06:20] Speaker B: Yeah.

[01:06:32] Speaker D: So weird. [01:06:33] Speaker C: Too weird to like, watch. [01:06:35] Speaker A: Even powder puff girls, like, had some moments. Charlotte's really into that. Right. [01:06:39] Speaker C: You know, like, you think of some of them that didn't like Johnny Bravo. [01:06:42] Speaker A: Oh. [01:06:43] Speaker C: Like, it was like, I loved it as a kid, but it doesn't really, it's like, that didn't age that well. [01:06:48] Speaker A: Ed Nettie, bro. Eddie. Eddie Neddy was. [01:06:51] Speaker B: They were in the treehouse on Cartoon. [01:06:53] Speaker A: Network, code named kids next door. That was another one that was all over the place.

And like all the other, like there were like the live shows too. Like there was like the Temple of something. The game shows, they were, they were doing, like, kids game shows back then. They don't have any of that anymore, I don't think. [01:07:51] Speaker B: Might be a good thing. [01:07:53] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. That's why we're all gamblers, right? [01:07:56] Speaker B: Right. [01:07:57] Speaker A: That's why we're all sitting here on our sports books, just fucking gambling through gambling, everything. [01:08:01] Speaker D: I need more coins. [01:08:02] Speaker A: I need more coins. Oh, 299 on apple. Here you go. I need an extra turning candy crush. You know, like, I can remember when. [01:08:09] Speaker D: My first son was born, I would sit there and rock him, and I played this golf game on my phone, and it's like, you play it long enough, you have coins. You'd be like, I'm good. I'm never gonna get coins. I'm never gonna spend a dime on this game. And then it's like. It starts off small. You're like, ah, it's just $2. It's just $5, you know? And then you're like, yeah, I'm gonna spend $20 to buy 20,000 coins and I'll never have to get any again. And it's like, you're just gonna have to because you gotta play with a certain ball that doesn't have any wind change and all this stuff. It's just. [01:08:45] Speaker A: You've really got him in the golf, Dan. You really got him in the golf. Have you guys been out and thrown frisbees with Tim? [01:08:54] Speaker B: One time?

I mean, they. They're fast learners and especially. Enjoy. Well, hey, hey. There's some people that play for a long time. [01:09:10] Speaker D: Bet $20. [01:09:13] Speaker C: It's been a while. And I've been, like, actual golfing more recently than I have disc golfing in the last, like, probably four or five months. Just because when it's, like, hot out like this, I tend to just. [01:09:29] Speaker A: Oh, it's a spring and fall thing, but I. [01:09:32] Speaker C: But I'm sort of. I'm sort of itching to get back out there. We didn't. We need to go back. [01:09:37] Speaker A: You guys got a play with Trey Bonner? Trey, you got to play disc golf with Trey Bonner because he just gives no shits about anything. He just. He'll just be out there with his shirt off, just with, like, a speaker. [01:09:47] Speaker C: Just fucking me and me and him had a great time at the course in Hendersonville one afternoon when he was living over there, we went over there, like, played like that. The front nine or back down or something and just had a dude. He's so. It's so fun. [01:10:02] Speaker A: Yeah. I love Bonner. [01:10:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:10:04] Speaker A: I've got a podcast with him tomorrow, and I'm very excited for how it's going to go because I asked. He was like, dude, you can bring up anything. All right, Bonner. We're going to go on a fucking mythical journey together in this podcast. We're just going to see what happens, so it'll be wild. Have you guys tried those before? Take a sip out of them and let me know what you think, because there are new vodka ice teas. [01:10:26] Speaker B: I'm good. [01:10:26] Speaker A: You're good? Oh, you don't want it. You've been taking a sober break. [01:10:29] Speaker B: I'm off it right now. [01:10:30] Speaker A: You're off it right now? All right. I won't put any pressure on you, but try them. They're only 100 calories. Yeah. Look at that good cran cat. That good can crack in the mic. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Just take a sip of it, see what you think. Just tastes like iced tea, right? Literally.

[01:10:52] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:10:53] Speaker A: Instead of twisty, now you're gonna be surfy. [01:10:55] Speaker D: So, yeah, I'll send you my fair share of sugar tea in my life. [01:10:59] Speaker A: Yeah, well, this one's only got 2 grams in it. [01:11:02] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm gonna put a little bit more. Yeah, yeah, you can't taste any. [01:11:09] Speaker A: We'll send you home. We'll send you home with some serve sides. Okay. Now, wrapping up here, what, um, I. What, um. What food spots do you guys like hanging out at in town? I see you've got the jersey oven shirt on, which is great. [01:11:23] Speaker D: Yes. [01:11:23] Speaker A: The jersey style shout out, the pork rug and cheese. I just put a clip of that up recently, and I had all my people back home yelling about, it's Taylor ham. No, it's pork roll. No, it's Taylor ham. No, it's pork roll. Jersey people just fight over everything, including breakfast sandwiches. Very new Jersey of us. But where do you like going for food? Like you and Veronica? You got. You said you got a little reservation. Where are you guys going? [01:11:44] Speaker D: She's going to dinner. [01:11:45] Speaker A: Oh, she's going to dinner. So you got to be home. [01:11:47] Speaker D: She's actually. Yeah, she's actually going to dinner with Tim's wife. [01:11:49] Speaker A: Oh, there you go. [01:11:51] Speaker D: And. But, yeah, we. Where do we go? [01:11:54] Speaker A: I mean, you're out in Lebanon, so. [01:11:56] Speaker D: You'Re kind of out there. There's a place called Concha that we eat at all the time. It's, like a little japanese place. [01:12:01] Speaker B: Ooh. [01:12:01] Speaker D: But having two kids, it's hard to get a babysitter to watch both of them. [01:12:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:12:06] Speaker C: So what's the meet and three place close to here that you took us that day after church. [01:12:13] Speaker D: Oh, local Joe's? Mount Joe's. [01:12:16] Speaker A: No, I'm about to look that up. I love a good southern meet in three. [01:12:20] Speaker D: Yeah, local Joe's is great. [01:12:22] Speaker A: Uncle Joe's. [01:12:23] Speaker D: Local. [01:12:24] Speaker A: Local Joe's. Yeah, I'm gonna type that in, take. [01:12:27] Speaker C: It to a different spot. [01:12:28] Speaker A: Local Joe's cafe. Oh, dude, looks like Paula Dean's in there, bro, that's. No, I haven't. I don't spend a lot of time in, like, Opryland music Valley area. I need to spend more time out there. [01:12:41] Speaker D: They first opened. We went there quite a bit. I say quite a good there, like, three times. It was great. [01:12:46] Speaker C: How do you do it? Select where you was. Just. You guys just looks good. Yeah, dude, that place was great. I've only been there that one time. [01:12:52] Speaker D: Yeah, it's legit. And you need to also go to Uncle Buds over here. [01:12:55] Speaker A: Oh, I know Uncle Buds. I've been there with Dawson Edwards, bro. He used to. Used to be the king of Uncle Buds, bro. I used to end up there. [01:13:02] Speaker D: I would put Ethan Phillips up against anybody when it comes down. [01:13:06] Speaker A: Well, they're both big bone Georgia dudes, like to eat and sing country songs, so that makes a whole lot of sense. [01:13:12] Speaker D: Yeah. Ethan. Ethan was the neighbor. Neighbor of the month. [01:13:17] Speaker A: Oh. He won an award free uncle buzz. [01:13:21] Speaker D: For a straight month. He said he ate there every single day. [01:13:25] Speaker B: We said, how many times, you know, did you use your free. He goes, I was there every day. [01:13:29] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:13:30] Speaker D: Every day they opened, I was in there. [01:13:32] Speaker C: It's a smart man. [01:13:34] Speaker A: Let's say unlimited. Like, what blows my mind about that place is that they, like, you go to a mexican joint and it's like they have, like, chips and salsa. You go to Uncle Bud's. It's. They just keep hitting you with the hush puppies. So many hush puppies you can eat, but they're free and unlimited, so it's like, you just want to keep having them. Yeah, that cornbread adds up. That's tough. [01:13:53] Speaker C: I've never been. I've never. [01:13:55] Speaker A: It does Uncle Buds. [01:13:56] Speaker C: And then we played a. It was a company fish fry for, like, up in Gallatin north. Yeah. And we get there and they have Uncle Buds, like, the truck. They're catering. [01:14:08] Speaker A: Oh. [01:14:08] Speaker C: After we got done playing that day, they loaded us down. [01:14:11] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. It was a plate of food that was awesome. Four pounds chicken tenders and catfish. [01:14:15] Speaker C: It was incredible. Yeah. [01:14:17] Speaker A: Uncle Buds. [01:14:19] Speaker D: Yeah, really good. [01:14:21] Speaker C: I'm trying to think. Where do you like. [01:14:22] Speaker A: What do you. In America, where do you like going? [01:14:25] Speaker D: That mexican place. [01:14:26] Speaker C: Mexican place is good. [01:14:28] Speaker A: La hacienda. Oh, I know. I've been. I've been in there. Yeah, that's a good little spot. [01:14:33] Speaker B: We're not too fancy, man. We got. We're sports bar people. [01:14:36] Speaker A: Well, that's why. I mean, even a sports bars person. [01:14:38] Speaker B: Yeah. We go, like, JB's poor house. [01:14:41] Speaker A: Oh, JB's is good. [01:14:42] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:14:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:14:46] Speaker B: Call them southwest egg rolls all. [01:14:48] Speaker A: Dude, those things are fucking good. [01:14:50] Speaker B: Amazing. [01:14:51] Speaker A: Those things are good. I like those a lot. I like JB's poor house. One of the many perks of Hermitage over here. Got some good spots. Nadine's is good, too. [01:14:59] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, Nadine's. I should have said that. That's, like, number one for sure. [01:15:03] Speaker D: Ringo wings. [01:15:04] Speaker A: Oh, the ringo sauce, bro. I had a guy on here. Do you know the cooker of deliciousness? Have you heard of this guy Timothy? He's from Kentucky. He's. He's in Owensboro. Owensboro guy. But his name is Matt Ramsey, and he has a cooking. Cooking thing on Instagram. It's called the cooker of deliciousness. And then he just started making videos and he's gone, like, stupid viral. And he's like. He went out and cooked up for Ronda Rousey and her husband at the ranch in, like, montana. He's like, boys, all these different people. But I had to take. He was like, where's a good spot to eat? It was him, my buddy big rig, who I used to bounce with the coaches wrestling up there. The coaches, his son in wrestling. So I was with the cooker of deliciousness and big rig, and I was like, I gotta take them to fucking Nadine's. And, bro, we got. They got, like, ringo sauce on the side. Like, they were just, like, bathing in the Ringo sauce. [01:15:49] Speaker D: Dude. [01:15:50] Speaker C: Dude, what's so sweet? Like, so. So I.

Like, if we have friend get togethers or whatever, they'll be like, let's meet at Dadine's and be like, okay, it's a drive now, but it's worth it, you know? [01:16:22] Speaker D: Yeah. Jeff Ruby's. Have you eaten there? [01:16:25] Speaker A: I haven't been to Jeff Ruby's. No, I've been to, like, urban grub. That's why I hung out. I've hung out a lot in twelve south because Aaron, like, Aaron likes to go down there. So I've been through a lot of the lot of the bougie places. [01:16:37] Speaker D: We went for our anniversary back in March. [01:16:40] Speaker A: Good steak, dude. [01:16:42] Speaker D: I had the bone in Ribeye.
