Ole 60 (Jacob Young and Aden Wood)

[00:00:15] Speaker A: This is outside the round with Matt. [00:00:17] Speaker B: Barrill for Razor Alley podcast. Well, fellas, very excited to have you two here. As my phone's going off, we have got Jacob Young, we've got Adam Wood from the band old 60. A group of guys that we are like, it's. It's been insane, no pun intended, to watch you guys do what you've been doing over the last, what year? Six months? [00:00:42] Speaker A: Well, we started in really, like, last winter, a little over a year ago, and then. Yeah, from then to now, it's been crazy, dude. Crazy. Yeah, yeah. [00:00:57] Speaker B: What? [00:00:57] Speaker C: August? [00:00:58] Speaker B: Oh, you're like, September. [00:01:00] Speaker A: Yeah, September. Well, we released the ep in August, and then he dm'd us on instagram, like, two days later. It was like, y'all are from, like, five minutes. [00:01:08] Speaker B: I love that they. So we say, shoot your shot, whether it's with a. With a girl or an opportunity. And you shot your shot. [00:01:15] Speaker C: Well, so I was working out of town, like, I was, like, building solar fields and, like, traveling, like, every week. And I was in St. Louis, and I was just on TikTok one night, and, like, they popped up and I saw that they were, like, from Hawesville. And I was like, dude, that's like 15 minutes from me, you know? Like, that's crazy. And they were good, which was, like, I was surprised, you know? Cause, like, you never hear about people that sound, like, professional, you know? [00:01:40] Speaker B: Yeah, you're, like, high level band out of Hancock county. [00:01:43] Speaker C: Like, what? Yeah. So I just DM'd, and I was like, hey, you guys are doing great. Like, keep doing what you're doing. And then, like, I was, like, trying to get in the music at the time. So I was like, you know, if you ever need help with anything, like, let me know. And they were like, we need a drummer. Like, Jacob was literally like, tell them about you trying to buy people. [00:02:01] Speaker A: Yeah, I was. Before Aiden messaged us, we were. We were looking for a drummer. We just had three guitars. [00:02:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:07] Speaker A: And I was asking all my buddies, we were going out to bars and seeing live music, and I'm like, you know how cool it'd be if you learn how to play the drums? Like, I'll buy you a drum set. You know, I'll buy everything you need. I'll teach you the little that I know. We'll get it together. And thankfully, aiden DM'd us, and he knew how to play better than me. [00:02:28] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. That's awesome, dude. I love how organic the old 60 thing is. Like, people are like, are these industry plants that this is it. That. It's like, these are just dudes. These are just kids. Like, how old are you guys? [00:02:41] Speaker C: I just turned 22 weeks ago. [00:02:42] Speaker B: You just turned 20? [00:02:45] Speaker C: Sorry. [00:02:45] Speaker B: No, you're good. So you just turned 20? How old are you? [00:02:47] Speaker A: 24. [00:02:48] Speaker B: 24. Who's the oldest guy in the. The band? [00:02:50] Speaker A: Catfish is 27. [00:02:52] Speaker B: Yes. You guys are all like figuring out life and then just jamming together and it turns into 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify last time I checked. Which is fucking outrageous. [00:03:07] Speaker A: Yeah, well, we were playing in the pizza shop, galaxy pizza back home. That's. Me and Ryan both worked there. I worked there for like four years. And we just go like 08:00 when they closed, set up our stuff and jam out and that's where we came up with a lot of it, you know. And then Aiden started coming. I remember his first practice, we had him on the cajon. [00:03:28] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:03:29] Speaker A: And yeah, I just wanted to see if he had rhythm because, you know, he dm'd us on Instagram. I was like, this kid could be anybody. Keep time. [00:03:40] Speaker C: Yeah, dude, it's crazy. [00:03:44] Speaker B: What are you gonna say? [00:03:45] Speaker C: I was gonna say something but I for. Oh, like, yeah, like, it was. Sorry, it was, it was wild, cuz like I would be like in Chicago or like Kankakee or whatever. Like, or what's kinkake? It's like a city outside of Chicago. Like an hour. So, yeah, like I was working in all these places in Illinois and like, or like Freeport, which is like, like, you know where Rockford is? Yeah. So it's like around that area. So I'm driving like 14 hours a week because I'm driving 7 hours there and 7 hours back. And like I would drive like literally straight to my house, get in my truck and like load all my drums up, go straight to galaxy. And he would like either like be getting off work or like you would be. [00:04:29] Speaker A: I was working at the factory at the time. [00:04:30] Speaker C: Yeah. So he'd come in like all pale and shit. [00:04:33] Speaker A: 12 hours. 07:00 p.m. get off. Be there at eight. Sometimes I'd have time to shower. Yeah. [00:04:39] Speaker B: Blue collar shit. What were you doing up in Illinois? What was, what were you doing for work up there? [00:04:46] Speaker C: So I was, I worked for this electrician's place in where in Indiana where I'm from. And they got all these like out of town jobs like through the government or whatever. So we were making like crazy money, like travel and go do these jobs and like I was just their bitch basically. Like, yeah, and like, I didn't care at all. Like, cuz we're just in this field, you know, and, like, we'd have like, side by sides and stuff like that. It was a really. It was a really good job, but I quit because I. [00:05:21] Speaker A: He was the first one to quit. [00:05:22] Speaker B: Yeah, you were the first one to quit your job. [00:05:24] Speaker C: It was like a job that I should not have been hired for. Like, it was like a good. It was a job that, like, my parents would have been like, okay, I'm gonna stay here the rest of my life. Like, yeah. [00:05:34] Speaker B: So you were the first one to quit? [00:05:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:05:36] Speaker B: So what were the rest of the boys doing? Were anybody else working at Galaxy with you, or was it just kind of like odd jobs? [00:05:42] Speaker A: So Ryan. Ryan helped at Galaxy. His brother owns it, and they have a food truck too. [00:05:47] Speaker B: Family business. I love that. The pizza shop. [00:05:49] Speaker A: Yeah. So he would. He would work out there and help out and then help with the food truck. He doesn't. He'll help out a little while. Every once in a while. But Kobe had his last day yesterday. He was an electrician. He just had his last day yesterday. [00:06:04] Speaker C: Uh, cap, this is a tattoo artist. [00:06:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. He gave both of us our first tattoo. Mine's on my leg. [00:06:11] Speaker C: I got mine on my arm. It's. It's just 324. We all got them from the fuck. [00:06:16] Speaker B: Yeah. I love that. A guy, like, catfish sounds like a guy that I want to come at me with an income. [00:06:22] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Ty got a catfish tattooed on him last time we were all together. Just because, I guess. But, yeah, catfish does tattoos. [00:06:31] Speaker C: Jared's an electrician. [00:06:32] Speaker A: Jared's an electrician. He's a. He's still working. Yeah, he's getting married on Saturday. [00:06:37] Speaker B: No shit. [00:06:38] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:06:39] Speaker B: That's wild, dude. So how do a bunch of blue collar kids from middle of nowhere, Kentucky, wind up in this situation? Like, how does it. How does that. How does it happen? [00:06:49] Speaker C: We're fucking idiots. [00:06:52] Speaker B: That's why I love it, dude. [00:06:54] Speaker A: Social media is a big part in it. You know, TikTok definitely did its thing when everything first started kicking and then everything just started rolling together. Really? We. The whole time, like, we've been doing it, I was just making memes and post them on TikTok, you know, because I didn't know what to do for content. I was like, the second we get some good content, like, I feel like it might really pick up. And we met up with Davis, and then he linked us with Wells and J. And they're just the best. [00:07:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:22] Speaker A: And as soon as we started working with them, it was like, just, you know, they really did their thing. [00:07:29] Speaker B: Yeah, dude. Because I remember you guys playing obvious. I remember you doing the writers rounds. [00:07:32] Speaker A: Yes. [00:07:33] Speaker B: And that was kind. [00:07:33] Speaker A: I remember that's how we got introduced to Davis. [00:07:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Tyler bringing you guys down. [00:07:38] Speaker A: Yeah, he brought us down. And he'd been texting Davis, trying to get him to listen to us. [00:07:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:42] Speaker A: And I don't think he did. And then he saw me play at the writers round with Luke and then we just started working with him. [00:07:48] Speaker C: Well, it was his wife, though. [00:07:50] Speaker A: Yeah. Shelby. [00:07:51] Speaker B: Shelby. We love Shelby, dude. Shout out. Shout out to Shelby. The mom. The mom of the mom of mama bears. [00:07:58] Speaker A: But she wrangles us. [00:07:59] Speaker B: Somebody's got to. Because I remember. I remember Tyler sending me you guys because I met Tyler when he was working with Aidan Canfield and I had lunch with them at tin roof, like, a year or two ago. And then I remember him being like, check out these boys from Kentucky. And I was like, oh, this is different. This is kind of cool. I forget it was, like the early, like, work tape. Like demo stuff, like smoking. I forget what. I forget what the first song would have been. [00:08:22] Speaker A: It was probably. It would have been like, smoke and a light. And then there's an unreleased one called Rose. [00:08:27] Speaker B: That's what it was. I think it was Rose. Yeah. Like, it was like the early shit. I was like, this is something. Something different. Tyler, what are you working with here? This is cool. And then when we had you play the round, I was like, damn. Like, you captivated a room. And Luke's fucking great, too. And seeing these kids do their thing. And then that first night at winners that we had, you boys. [00:08:46] Speaker A: Yeah, that was. [00:08:46] Speaker C: Oh, that was like. [00:08:47] Speaker B: That's a very. That's something that we talk about. Like when people ask us about our event and we're like, you know who played the first one? The old 60 boys. And I remember at the end, you're like, we didn't practice how to end it. We're done now. [00:09:01] Speaker A: We practiced the songs and we were just like, okay, this is our first full band show. Like, we need to have this stuff down. And we got it. And we were playing. And then we get up there and we're playing. We get to the end of the last song and I'm like, oh, shit. Like, this is something that you got to think about. [00:09:15] Speaker B: We're done now. [00:09:15] Speaker A: Yeah, it's over. Just stop playing, dude. [00:09:20] Speaker C: That was, like, one of the most surreal, like, moments. [00:09:23] Speaker B: Winners, like, yeah. [00:09:24] Speaker A: I was like, back to it. [00:09:25] Speaker C: And I'm like, damn. Like, we, like, that was before we had done anything. So, like, that was like, oh, shit. This is our make it or break it. [00:09:35] Speaker A: Like. [00:09:35] Speaker C: Or like, that was our time. [00:09:37] Speaker A: Yeah, just our first time playing. [00:09:39] Speaker B: Yeah. And that was. That was our first time doing anything at winners. That was our first full band showcase ever. Like, that was. That was our first time trying it. And it's been interesting going in there because we've always done the writers around things and it's. It's different doing the full band thing. It's definitely harder to book that. Cause you have to get four or five guys to come out. It's obviously not like a paid gig or anything, but you guys playing that, that's been, like, probably Nick and I's favorite memory so far. That's awesome of our thing. And now we're at losers. And losers is like a little dungeon. And it's like the stage. It actually sounds better in losers than it does winners. And they're remodeling winners right now. It's gonna be up there with all this cool shit. Yeah, it's gonna be really cool over there. But to have you guys in the family on that thing and to be able to say we were the first show and now you guys are selling out fucking shows. [00:10:28] Speaker A: Yeah, it's crazy. Absurd. I remember me and Ryan. He's a curly headed guy. [00:10:35] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:10:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:38] Speaker B: You boys all rep our shit. [00:10:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:40] Speaker B: Thank you for doing that. [00:10:41] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:10:42] Speaker B: Dude, you guys are raised rowdy. Kids. Like, y'all were clearly raised on the. [00:10:45] Speaker A: Rowdy, which I love, but me and Ryan were talking about it and we, like, back in, before Aidan was around, you know, it was before we had music out even. We were. It was the day we wrote dust to dust and we were sitting out there and we came up with this banned bucket list, you know, of just stuff we wanted to do and sell out. The burl was on there and we did that. It was the first show that we sold out. So it was like, just sick, you know, Kentucky venue. But, yeah, there was. There was a lot of funny stuff on there. We had go on tour, which we've done that. [00:11:22] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. What were have you guys been so far? [00:11:26] Speaker A: So we did. We did three shows with Dylan Gosset. [00:11:29] Speaker B: Oh, dude, those are exit in, right? Yeah, fortunately, I had a round that night, so I couldn't be there. But that was Tyler being like, bro, you should just cancel your round. And I was like, I can't, man. [00:11:38] Speaker A: I wish that was a fun one. That was. We also did Minneapolis or St. Paul and Chicago with him at the chop shop in Chicago. And that one was really cool. Cause, you know, I'm a Cubs fan. I wear the Padres hat, and I get asked a lot about the Padres hat. I have like 40 hats, you know. [00:11:54] Speaker B: Yeah, this is the hat guy. [00:11:55] Speaker A: This is the one I've been photographed in the most, I think. Yeah, yeah. [00:12:00] Speaker B: But he's like, is this kid from San Diego? [00:12:02] Speaker A: No, I'm a big cubs guy. [00:12:04] Speaker B: Yes. [00:12:05] Speaker A: Don't wear the Cubs hat as much as the Padres. [00:12:07] Speaker B: Pete Crow Armstrong, man. [00:12:08] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:12:08] Speaker B: He's the savior. [00:12:09] Speaker A: I think he's. [00:12:10] Speaker B: And you guys have that picture. [00:12:12] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Shota, which everybody spent all. [00:12:14] Speaker B: Spent all this money in Yamamoto out in LA. And it's like. Yeah, showed us where it's. [00:12:18] Speaker A: Yeah, he just showed up and started doing it. [00:12:20] Speaker B: Showed us. Showed up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm looking at the dates you guys have coming up. Like, you guys got. You guys are gonna be running and gunning, bro. [00:12:27] Speaker C: Yeah, we live Sunday with some. [00:12:29] Speaker B: With some great opening slots with Godwin, Arizona. Cali. Oh, yeah, you guys go into fucking California. The boys from Hancock county are. [00:12:36] Speaker C: I've never been out west. [00:12:38] Speaker A: Yeah, me neither. [00:12:38] Speaker B: Cali's dope, man. It's a different scene. And what I'll tell you, as someone who's from not a country area, that was in the country scene. I grew up outside of New York City. Those areas, they. Whenever a country show comes through, they go nuts because they're not exposed to it a lot. So it's a big deal when a country act comes through and you're with Charles, those shows are gonna be. Oh, yeah, his band is so tight and so, like, jammy. Similar to you guys and grew up, have that Appalachia, West Virginia allegheny thing. Yeah, Charles, Indiana. That'll be cool. That's a close one. And then fucking, you guys have all these different. Oh, and then the headlining stuff starts in June. That's exciting. Asheville. The orange peel is dope, dude. That's like a jam band. That's. You guys are gonna vibe and that place. And Asheville's a cool town. I don't know if you guys have been out there. That's a cool. That's a cool town. Savannah, Georgia. Sick. Myrtle. Oh, you guys are on CCM fucking. Yeah, that's a big fucking festival, boys. [00:13:36] Speaker A: Yeah, we're fired up about that. We got like three extra days we're just spending in Myrtle beach. [00:13:41] Speaker C: My parents are like. And my siblings are like, planning a vacation around the show. [00:13:45] Speaker B: Myrtle's wild. Yeah, they call it Dirty Myrtle. [00:13:48] Speaker A: Dirty Myrtle. [00:13:50] Speaker B: There's some shit in Myrtle beach. You know, it's a degenerate. Degenerate beach down. But it's a lot of fun. That's just a monster festival. Then the burl's gonna be fucking special. Owensboro the next night. Dude, that's awesome. [00:14:02] Speaker A: Oh, that Owensboro show is going to be crazy. That's Friday after five. And that's, like, the thing to do where we're from. You get. It's Friday. It's after five. [00:14:09] Speaker B: You go, but he's off work. [00:14:10] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. You just go. And then it turns into Friday after nine. It's 18 and up, and everybody just gets wasted. Well, it's, like, always packed and. I don't know, I always thought it'd be cool to play Friday after five. And they're doing, like, the main stage in front of the. In front of the convention center, which they don't do often, which is gonna be really cool. [00:14:29] Speaker B: Big dude. [00:14:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:31] Speaker B: Oh, you guys are going to the rave. [00:14:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:34] Speaker B: You familiar with that place? [00:14:35] Speaker A: No. [00:14:36] Speaker B: Okay. Y'all might be into this. Cause y'all sing. We'll get into the lyrics and the music, and we'll figure out why you guys are. Why you guys are singing about all this sad, deep shit. We'll get into that. [00:14:46] Speaker C: Oh, I love making a jacob. [00:14:49] Speaker B: I love it. I love it. Well, I've got my theories on all that. We'll get into that. But the rave in Milwaukee, it's a building that has five as five or six different, like, venues within it. So you guys are playing the rave bar? I did that with Muscadine bloodline years ago. And that place is haunted as fuck. So they'll take you guys on the ghost tour through there. That's the place with the Mac Miller pool. That's that room. So underneath. Underneath it used to be like. Like an elks club or like. Like a. Like a society, like members only kind of thing. So the pool underneath was, like, part of that. And that pool is where they say a lot of the spirits are, like, those rooms surrounding the pool. And that's where Mac Miller signed the pool and said that he was. He's now dead. And then he passed away, like, a month later. Yeah, there's a lot of us. And then the hotel across the street, there's tunnels to get to the hotel. That's across the street. And that's where Jeffrey Dahmer did a lot of his shit. So it's a spooky kind of play. It's very ivy. And the crowds there are just awesome. They got like a big, a big like ballroom upstairs that holds I think like four or 5000 people. And then they've got like the smaller room. So like you start out playing the bar and then you'll go back and play the club and then you'll go up and play the big. That's a cool room. Oh that's one of my. You're on one of my favorite runs right there in the. That week in June, the rave to Joe's on Weed street. Enjoy the deep dish pizza they give you. Cause it is joz on weed. The green room has like its own like bar area. It's like a balcony like overlooking. So you, you guys will see the crowd. You guys will be looking over and watching the crowd get packed in and then there's a staircase from the balcony that goes down to like side stage. So you guys will get to see the room like kind of pack in and have like your own like have your own like bar area and like they take such good care of you up there. And then Omaha's a cool city dude. I mean you guys have a full fucking year. [00:16:38] Speaker A: Yeah, we're doing that stuff with him out west in the fall. That's. [00:16:41] Speaker B: Those are amphitheaters, boys. [00:16:42] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be fun. [00:16:45] Speaker B: I just can't believe how fast this thing's, this thing's going. [00:16:48] Speaker C: Yeah, we can't, we can't either, dude. [00:16:51] Speaker A: Yeah, it's been crazy. We were playing like the shows we were playing back home. It was, it was me and Ryan and then Tristan who played with us. We were doing like acoustic guitars. We had three acoustic guitars. They wouldn't let us play full band in the bars back home. Aiden wasn't even old enough to get in. [00:17:08] Speaker C: Yeah. So there was his old like country bar like in. [00:17:12] Speaker A: Yeah. Where's Cloverport? [00:17:14] Speaker C: Yeah. Never heard of it. I don't like these people. [00:17:20] Speaker A: No, they were great. [00:17:21] Speaker C: Here's what happened though. They wouldn't let me in because I wasn't 21. [00:17:25] Speaker B: Even though you were playing in the band? [00:17:27] Speaker C: Yeah, but they wouldn't let me play. But they let me watch. So I went in there. I went in there and sat in the table or in the chair and just watched them play and helped them set up and everything but they wouldn't let me play. [00:17:43] Speaker A: I think they just didn't want drums in there. [00:17:45] Speaker C: Yeah, that would make sense too. [00:17:47] Speaker A: It was a small board. [00:17:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:49] Speaker C: I'm giving them a hard time. Super nice people. [00:17:51] Speaker A: They are. They're super nice. Yeah, yeah, they were great. We played there, like, once a week. It felt like, you know, and then. [00:18:00] Speaker C: I'm really shitting on them. [00:18:01] Speaker A: But we'd have, like, we'd have, like, 2030 people there. And then we came and played winners, and then we went and did the stuff with Creed Fisher in Alabama. And after that, it was, like, just more and more people every show, you know, we haven't really done a. We did. We did a hometown show at Brasher's. Full band. That was right before we left with Dylan. Gossip. [00:18:23] Speaker B: I never seen the videos for that. That looked fucking. [00:18:25] Speaker A: That was. Yeah, that was, like, our first real headline, I think. And even, you know, it was just all our friends. So we haven't really done, like, the full headline, like, experience yet. We haven't got to play, especially not. [00:18:39] Speaker C: In Owen's role, either with the 50 or with the Friday after five thing. Like, there were so many people that, like, what? Like, should have been at brashers. Like. Like, our very close, like, friends and family and stuff that just couldn't get in because it was a small venue, you know? So, like, Friday after five, there's a lot of people coming that are like, I still ain't seen you boys yet. But I'm like, it's gonna be. It's gonna be nuts. [00:19:06] Speaker A: There better be room. And it's outside, dude. [00:19:09] Speaker B: There's like, yeah, I'm sure you guys, again hit up for that. And that's something new because you're used to just being a friend. Wants to come watch you guys play at the pizza shop or whatever. Like. [00:19:19] Speaker A: Yeah, just come on by. [00:19:21] Speaker B: Just come hang. We might be able to get you a pizza or a beer, too. Now, it's a whole different thing with, like, a guest list. [00:19:27] Speaker A: Yeah, there's roles and stuff. [00:19:28] Speaker B: A green room and this and that. [00:19:31] Speaker A: We got a rider. Like, that's crazy. [00:19:34] Speaker B: What's on? What's on? The rider. [00:19:35] Speaker A: Oh, man. So Miller light is a must on the rider. [00:19:39] Speaker B: Like, boys. I respect that. [00:19:41] Speaker A: And we drink. We drink a lot of Montucky, too, now, Jared. Yeah, but what else we got on there? A deli tray. [00:19:50] Speaker B: That's right. [00:19:51] Speaker A: Ryan likes a dilly tray. Stone cold Steve Austin memorabilia. [00:19:56] Speaker C: Yeah, that's for catfish. [00:19:57] Speaker B: Stone cold Steve Austin does that. They actually. [00:20:00] Speaker A: Nobody gives that to. [00:20:02] Speaker B: Well, you're gonna see on the headlining shows, you're going into all these rooms. Like, someone will. He's gonna start getting. [00:20:08] Speaker C: That's why we put it. That's why we put it on. [00:20:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:11] Speaker C: Like, eventually, dude, some somebody. [00:20:13] Speaker A: Somebody will give us. [00:20:14] Speaker B: Gonna have a hole room. He's like, his whole bunk or whatever. His whole section of the. Of the van or the bus or whatever you guys are traveling around is just going to be all this stone. [00:20:22] Speaker A: Cold on the van. The van. We named it Sweet Valerie, like from the song brother Joe. And then there's a. There's a stone cold action figure zip tied to the front of the van. [00:20:32] Speaker C: It's on the grill. [00:20:32] Speaker A: Yeah. So he goes everywhere with us, and then we. We did this dirt bike race. It was in Monterey, tennessee. We played, and that was, like, a headline thing for us, but it was like, this big dirt bike thing. That's what people were there for, you know, and they walked out to stone cold's theme music, and Colby smashed the beers over. Everybody soaked the first two rounds. [00:20:56] Speaker B: The crowd probably went nuts. [00:20:58] Speaker A: Yeah, they loved it. They loved it. It was. That was the. Probably the highest energy show we'd played. Was. Was that one. It was muddy. The van got stuck. We were stuck for, like, 2 hours. And then the scarecrows is another band that played. There's a guy that. What was his name? [00:21:14] Speaker C: Oh, I don't remember, but the. I don't. He should be remembered after. [00:21:18] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:21:18] Speaker C: He got that van out. I mean, dude, they had the. It was on. The whole place was on a hill, right? [00:21:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:24] Speaker C: And the stage was at the bottom of the hill. [00:21:26] Speaker B: Oh, no. [00:21:27] Speaker C: Like, it's. It's pouring down rain. There's dirt bikes going everywhere. There's, like, a five year old doing wheelies on a mountain bike. [00:21:35] Speaker A: Wheel drive. We're just. Yeah. [00:21:37] Speaker C: And so we're just. I mean, the more it's like, you know, we're driving, it's just slowly sinking into the mud. You know, we get down there, and then, like, our trailer's, like, facing away from the stage, like. [00:21:50] Speaker A: Yeah, we have to back it up. [00:21:51] Speaker C: Yeah, we had to back it up, dude, it was bad. And then we got stuck leaving. Like, we loaded all our stuff in. I guess it was too heavy or what. And it was so muddy at that. [00:22:00] Speaker A: Point, but this guy, he got it unstuck, and then there were, like, two semis with, like, a window maybe the size of this table. [00:22:09] Speaker C: No, it was bigger than that camera. [00:22:12] Speaker A: Maybe. It was not. [00:22:14] Speaker C: It was a tight. [00:22:16] Speaker A: And he had the van completely sideways going, like, drifting through these two semi. [00:22:21] Speaker C: It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. [00:22:23] Speaker A: It's like, straight dukes of hazard stuff. But he got us out of there. [00:22:26] Speaker B: Yeah, I've done a lot of mud bogs in my day working because I used to be out with Trey Lewis and I was out with Musk and on bloodline. And during the dick down in Dallas heyday, we did a lot of mud parks. Yeah, I've been stuck, like. And I was the TM, so I was having to drive. I've been stuck in the mud probably four or five times. So I get it. You know, I get it. It's. It's not a. Not a fun, but there's always that good old boy that's there. [00:22:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:22:48] Speaker B: From the scarecrows that's able to get you out. [00:22:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:22:51] Speaker B: Thanks, man. [00:22:52] Speaker A: Yeah, man. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen in person. Like, he was going so fast, I didn't know it can make the noises that it was making. [00:23:01] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, it had. And it really hasn't been the same since, honestly. [00:23:07] Speaker B: There you go. [00:23:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:08] Speaker C: Every trip we go on, the van and the trailer just take a worse beating. [00:23:13] Speaker B: That's how it works. Make sure you keep greasing those bearings on the trailer because I've had that too. I've had the wheel fall off of a trailer while we're on the interstate. [00:23:21] Speaker C: Oh, that's good. [00:23:22] Speaker B: Doing 9 hours to fucking North Carolina and like, hour one, the trailer breaks. [00:23:27] Speaker C: Yeah, that's gonna be on my mind now. [00:23:29] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You just. It's tough. I mean, you'll. You've got a good. You've. You guys have a very experienced team with you. [00:23:36] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:23:37] Speaker B: I've known Davis and Wales for. For N. J. For years, you know, and those guys have seen it, seen it all. Wales. And I actually met my, like, second or third week with Muscadine. He had just started kind of shooting for them. He hadn't even moved from South Carolina yet. And so to see what he's doing now and then, Davis, I've known from his days back in Texas and, like, you've got a good crew with you, so they'll make sure all that shit's taken care of, you know? You got a good, good team. So let's get into. Jacob. Why are you so fucking sad? Let's get into this because. What are your thoughts, Aidan? Because I know you said you guys give them shit. Like what? [00:24:11] Speaker A: They do give me shit. They give me so much. [00:24:13] Speaker C: He's a sad boy. [00:24:15] Speaker A: Everybody's like, when you gonna write a happy song? I don't know, dude. When it happens, you know, I just. Girl stuff, you know, relationship stuff. [00:24:24] Speaker C: He's really bad at it. No, no, I'm just kidding. [00:24:27] Speaker A: I don't know. I was in a. I was in a relationship and it didn't go well, so I wrote a bunch of songs about it, and then here we are. I guess, you know, I still write sad songs. Maybe I'm just a sad person. [00:24:41] Speaker B: Do you think that has to do with being. Cause you. So when Covid hits, you're 20 years old. [00:24:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:47] Speaker B: So do you think Covid was wild? Do you think that part? And for you, you're in high school when Covid happens, like, all you guys are kind of, like, in that. Like, I graduated high school 2013. I graduated college in 2017. So I kind of. I was already a little bit, like, as an adult when Covid hit. But, like, being a kid during COVID and, like, finishing up those high schoolers, being that right out of high school, delivering pizzas. Delivering pizzas, bro. Like, but the world was so fucked, and it still is fucked in a lot of ways. That's a whole other conversation. And I feel like music and just society in general has been talking about deeper shit. I feel like you're part of that, too. [00:25:27] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know. I feel like music's definitely taken a turn in a more, like, a more honest route. You know, like, it's less about the sound of it, I feel like now and more about just what the songs are. And. I don't know. I just wrote what I was thinking. That's what I do. I write from inspiration. And it was dark days, so I wrote. [00:25:53] Speaker B: Yeah, like brother Joe, bro. [00:25:55] Speaker A: Yeah, that one. That one was weird. [00:25:58] Speaker B: Dark. [00:25:58] Speaker A: So. [00:25:59] Speaker B: Fuck. [00:25:59] Speaker A: I had a buddy. [00:26:00] Speaker B: I love it, though. I love it. [00:26:02] Speaker A: I had a. But I wrote that in like, 30 minutes, probably. I had a buddy that he was going to school to be a priest. And I used to, like, run cross country and do track with him. And he was always a really good buddy growing up, and I hadn't talked to him in a while, and so he messaged me and was like, let's go get lunch. I was like, all right. And we went and got lunch. And he's a very interesting guy. And we sat there and talked for like, three, 4 hours, just sitting there eating pizza at Chicago's pizza in Tel City. And I was like, hey, dude, I'm gonna write a song when I get home. I have no idea what it's gonna be about. But the first line that came to my head was, the preacher man, he's got a gun. And I was like, what? Why? You know why has he got a gun? Something's gotta happen. And I just wrote it backwards from there, but, yeah, I don't. I don't know where it came from, really. [00:26:53] Speaker C: Probably. You probably had a purpose to write it. Like, if it happened that quick and, like, what it's about and everything, like, might have been fate, dude. Might have been supposed to write that song. [00:27:05] Speaker A: Who knows? [00:27:06] Speaker C: It is weird. It is weird when you write a song that quick. Like, yeah, you do it start to finish. [00:27:10] Speaker A: It just feels good. Yeah, it's like, I don't know. Everything just feels right when you're saying it, and it's like, I don't have to worry about. I'm real particular and I'm, like a perfectionist. So whenever I can write something really quick and just get it done and get it over with, I'm happy with it. It's like, that's. That's the good stuff. [00:27:27] Speaker C: I remember you playing that in galaxy, like, just on the guitar. And we. Me and Ryan were both like, what? What is this? You know? And then, like, me and him. Well, I know I for sure thought that brother Joe comes back and, like, gets revenge, you know? And then you figure out that he kills himself, and you're like, what? [00:27:46] Speaker A: Well, that's been cool to see, too, because, like, it shows. I've had people come up to me, and, like, when we played in St. Paul, there was. There was this guy that came up after the show, and he was with his buddies, and he was like, hey, does brother Joe kill that guy? And I was like, no, he doesn't. He was like, does he kill himself? And I was like, yeah, he does. And then he turned around. It was like they had this argument going about what happened at the end of brother Joe. [00:28:09] Speaker C: Yeah, like, Joe and his buddies. [00:28:11] Speaker A: He's like, I told you he didn't kill the other guy. I didn't realize that it was this thing, you know, that's the thing. [00:28:17] Speaker B: You're captivating people with the lyrics and then the melodies and what you guys are doing on the back end of it, with the musical part of it, the instrumental part of it, it just ties together so well. And, like, you're telling these dark stories, and then the fucking. The way you guys are doing it on the. On the track just comes across so fucking well and. [00:28:35] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that one was we. That was one that we, like, constructed in Galaxy. [00:28:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:41] Speaker A: And it was like, right around the time that Aiden joined in, it was. [00:28:45] Speaker C: Like, kind of like we had already been practicing a bunch, and it was kind of like, that was the song where we are all started to feel comfortable. I feel like. [00:28:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:55] Speaker C: Where we were, like, actually making music and not just like making noise in there, cuz, like, there's a difference between. [00:29:01] Speaker B: Making noise and making music. [00:29:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:29:02] Speaker B: Really is. [00:29:03] Speaker A: Yeah, we make a lot of noise. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:29:09] Speaker B: That's awesome, cuz, yeah. I remember the first round that you played with us. You played, obviously, smoking the light. You played walls. [00:29:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:16] Speaker B: You played a lot of the stuff that was on that first, that first at first EP. And it's like smoke and a light obviously has been, like the big ones so far. And there's more. There's way more to come for you guys. But looking at the streaming numbers, like 29 million, which equates to, like a couple hundred dollars on Spotify money, you. [00:29:35] Speaker A: Know. [00:29:37] Speaker B: But, but, like, when. When you hear it's just such an iconic riff at the front of that, or it's like, it's something that you could, like that song could have fit in, like Forrest Gump. Like, that song could have been in, like, movies like that. Like, that riff. Like, it feels like it should be in, like, a movie, honestly. [00:29:54] Speaker A: Yeah. That was always my favorite one. It was the first. It was the first one that we did. And, like, we made walls and we released the EP and then walls, I mean, before anything really started happening at all, but walls was, like, the popular one out of the four. And I was like, I just really feel like smoking a light hasn't had its moment yet, you know, and nothing had had its moment. I just didn't know what I was talking about. And then smoking a light just took off and I was like, yeah, that's. I feel like that was the one, you know? But it's done well, and it's been crazy, you know, just hearing people sing the words when we're out there playing, like, that's always been a dream, and it's just crazy that it's finally happening. [00:30:40] Speaker C: Yeah, it's wild, like, going on your TikTok and, like, seeing people, like, on your feed, like, play the song, like just somebody, some influencer, you know, like, playing it in the background, you're like, like, that's our song. [00:30:57] Speaker B: This guy knows who we are. [00:30:59] Speaker C: Yeah, but, like, I'm just scrolling on TikTok. Like, why is it on my for you? [00:31:03] Speaker A: Like, I get, like, I don't know. It's like a jump scare. Like, I'll be scrolling and I'll hear it. [00:31:10] Speaker C: You hear it so much. Like, like, because we see all the clips, like, before they're out, too. Like, and it's. Yeah. When sometimes, like, we'll be scrolling, and, like, the Instagram volume will be on or something, and, like. Like, you'll just be scrolling, and then all of a sudden, it's playing. Smoking a light at full volume in the green room or something, and you're like, turn that shit off. [00:31:32] Speaker B: We'll get there. We're gonna get there, guys. We're gonna get there. [00:31:35] Speaker A: Yeah, we're here. We'll hear it when we play it later. [00:31:37] Speaker C: Or, like, we'll be driving in the van and, like, our manager will have aux or something and smoking a light will pop on. We're like, oh, turn it off. [00:31:46] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. I don't. My parents like to listen to it a lot, and, like, I don't know their playlists. They listen to the same playlist, you know, and it's just like, every other song is one of our songs, and I rode down to Atlanta with. And my sister just graduated from Georgia Tech, and the whole way down there, I was like, skip it, skip it, skip it. [00:32:07] Speaker B: I don't want to hear myself. [00:32:09] Speaker A: I've heard it enough. [00:32:11] Speaker C: My little sister is, like, obsessed with it, and, like, she'll play it on the tv in the living room, and, like, when I come home, I'm like, that's like. I walk in the door, and I'm like, turn it off. You know, and then. And then, like, I'll be in the kitchen or something. My dad will come in and be like, just humming, you know, and I'm like. I'm like, stop. Like. Like, make it turn off. I was just humming, and I'm like. [00:32:38] Speaker A: Dude, I'm a different song. [00:32:40] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm a different one. [00:32:41] Speaker B: Home. Some Led Zeppelin or anything else. What's it been like to kind of be. Because you guys are part of this. This whale tale family and part of this. This crew where it's like, you guys are coming up. Luke's coming up. [00:32:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:55] Speaker B: Rob's coming up. Yeah, I'm seeing the. The boys. I don't know if you guys have had a chance to meet the Fox and V boys out of. [00:33:03] Speaker A: I haven't met them, but I've. I've listened to their music, and it's really good. [00:33:07] Speaker B: They're another one that their first Nashville show was. Was with us at at winners, and it was like, another, like, oh, fuck. Moment. Because they're. They're very heavy. Like, yeah, they. They're very cool, very heavy. And, again, dark, darker lyrics kind of thing around the same age as. As you guys. But, like, this. This movement of, like, being a part of this. This collective that's kind of coming out of. Coming out of nowhere and everybody's kind of winning. Like, what's it been like having that kind of brotherhood with Rob? [00:33:36] Speaker A: And it was. [00:33:37] Speaker B: And Luke and all those guys, we were. [00:33:39] Speaker A: We did like a retreat. Me and Rob and Luke were both there. And then, like, Wales and Davis, you know, just the whole crew. And we went out to North Carolina, and it was the week that Brother Joe released. And then Rob had shine releasing the same day that brother Joe came out. And we were sitting there, and then Wells and Jape had the music video coming out to that week. And then. So we were all just sitting there, and it was like Friday at midnight. Everybody had releases. It was just this really cool moment, you know, because Rob had never put a song out, and he got to put his first song out and it was awesome just being there and seeing everything. [00:34:21] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:34:22] Speaker A: Or no. Rob's song came out the next week, I think. But, yeah, it did. It did. But it was just cool because he was excited, you know? [00:34:29] Speaker B: Yes. Just there's this energy around all of you guys. [00:34:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:34] Speaker B: And it's like you guys and Luke aren't even in town yet. You guys are still living in your. In your home towns, living the lives that you've been. That you've been living. But now there's these. These eyes on you. And then Rob being. Rob being here. And I've known Rob for a long time and getting to see what he's doing. And it's just really fucking cool to see this. See you guys especially, just because everybody. Nikki and I get asked about you guys a lot because we obviously, like, I wear. I rep the. I rep the shirt. [00:35:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:35:03] Speaker B: And we're connected with you guys and in a lot of ways. And people are like, man, tell us about these old 60 guys. I'm like, they're just kids from Kentucky that make noise and sing about. Sing about some dark shit. And it's cool because it's so different from everything else that's going on. You guys have them. The slogan, not your father's country. [00:35:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:24] Speaker B: Where did that kind of come from? [00:35:25] Speaker A: I don't even know. [00:35:27] Speaker C: I I don't around. [00:35:29] Speaker A: I don't want to take credit for it, but I think it was me. But I don't know. I was just trying to think of cool shit, you know, to. To have for the band. [00:35:39] Speaker B: And. [00:35:40] Speaker A: And we were thinking of slogans and logos and shit. And I was like, not your father's. Country band sounds cool. And that was like, Ryan did the. He was like, we should do an l eight logo shirt. And I had my sister draw it up. She's a. [00:35:52] Speaker B: Your sister did this? [00:35:53] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:35:55] Speaker B: I love how fucking grassroots and organic at all is. [00:35:57] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:35:58] Speaker B: Seriously. I really do. [00:35:59] Speaker C: Yeah. I wish we would. We needed, like, use not. We need to use not your father's country band. And then we used to. We used to say amish rock, too, because there's a. There's. We have a huge, like, amish community. [00:36:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:13] Speaker C: So we were calling it amish rock. [00:36:14] Speaker A: Yeah, we were one of the shows at the bar in Cloverport. We were, like, couple minutes late because we got stuck behind a wagon on the way out there. [00:36:22] Speaker C: Yeah, it's wild. [00:36:24] Speaker A: So we started calling it amish rock. [00:36:26] Speaker B: What is. What is growing up at amish culture? [00:36:28] Speaker C: Like, I mean, I don't. [00:36:31] Speaker B: I mean, you guys kind of. You grew up outside of the culture, but kind of, like, around it, they. [00:36:34] Speaker C: Just, like, build shit. Like. Like, they're, like, the baddest people to, like, if you need, like, a building put up or something, they. They're out there, like, early in the morning. They throw that shit together. They're back on their wagon going back home. [00:36:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:50] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know. I never really was around. [00:36:53] Speaker C: Yeah, I wasn't either. [00:36:54] Speaker A: They have their, like, area that they all don't. [00:36:58] Speaker C: They have, like a. It's like a huge house, isn't it? [00:37:01] Speaker A: Well, there's. There's a bunch of different. There's, like, a few families out there that live. [00:37:05] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:37:05] Speaker B: It's like, commune kind of thing. [00:37:07] Speaker A: Yeah. They all live right around each other in South Hancock. [00:37:11] Speaker B: Yeah. What is Hancock county like? Because we've gotten. I've learned a little bit about it. And some nights at Red Door with. With Cody Loden. That one night, Cody vibes really well with you guys because he's from, I think, a neighboring Breckenridge county. [00:37:23] Speaker A: That was our high school rival. Yeah, he was from the county over. There's not a lot. It's. It's all industry. There's like. So I worked in an aluminum plant, and then there. There was another aluminum plant. It shut down. And then there's, like, a place that runs wire. And my dad works at the paper mill. But it's all factories. There's, like, five or six factories and then schools and a couple dollar generals. [00:37:47] Speaker B: And that's it. [00:37:49] Speaker A: That's what there is to do. Yeah. Galaxy pizza. There's a subway sandwiches in Lewisport in a gas station, local sandwich shop. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if you. You need to try it. [00:38:01] Speaker B: I'll tell you what. If you had subway and five dollar footlongs. [00:38:05] Speaker C: What? [00:38:05] Speaker B: This. With this recession, they're like $7. [00:38:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:08] Speaker C: Right now, more like 13. [00:38:10] Speaker A: This usually a country. [00:38:11] Speaker C: Don't get me started on the subway prices. [00:38:13] Speaker B: Really? [00:38:14] Speaker C: Yeah, 13. [00:38:16] Speaker A: Oh, no. [00:38:16] Speaker C: But they're expensive. [00:38:18] Speaker A: Not $5 anymore. [00:38:19] Speaker C: Yeah, they. Those days are long gone. [00:38:22] Speaker B: That's what I used to eat a lot on the road because we'd stop at loves. Loves a way of life. And you guys will see that when you're. When you're out there on the road going all over the country, you'll see there's some parts of the country that don't have love, you know? [00:38:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:34] Speaker A: Really? [00:38:35] Speaker B: Which. Yeah. Like. Like, up in. Up in the northeast, we don't have truck stops. All of our. All of our rest stops are, like, government kind of mandated. So they're like, really? Like, you go in this restaurant, it's like a big food court that has, like, a Burger king or, like, a McDonald's. There's always a fucking any ends pretzel. It's like mall food or, like a fucking cinnabon or something. Just, like, funny stuff. But there's something about pulling into a loves and getting that $13 subway sandwich, you know, that ham and cheese. Maybe you have a little extra cash in your pocket. [00:39:03] Speaker A: You add bacon to it, get that sucker toasted. [00:39:07] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, dude, absolutely. What do you guys eat a lot when you're on the road? Like, you strike me as a big snacker. [00:39:15] Speaker C: He's the junkiest. [00:39:17] Speaker B: Really? And he looks like that. It's like, where does it go, dude?

[00:39:33] Speaker A: I like to try new things. Like. Like, there's a gas station right next to Colby's house, and I got a. It was like a Pringles tube, but it was hot. Cheetos, little, like, puffball things. [00:39:46] Speaker C: Just pure garbage, dude. [00:39:47] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know. [00:39:48] Speaker C: Last thing you should put. [00:39:49] Speaker A: But, yeah, that. I got to get a sweet tea. Gold peak, extra sweet tea. That's. That's the go to drink. And then anything spicy, like, spicy chips. Love spicy chip grippos. Anywhere you can get grippo. [00:40:01] Speaker B: What's a grippo? [00:40:02] Speaker A: Never had a grip. [00:40:03] Speaker B: Oh, is. I just learned about takis, like, not too long ago. So is it in, like, the talk? [00:40:07] Speaker A: It's like they're barbecue chips. I think they're. Are they can. I think it's a Kentucky. [00:40:14] Speaker B: I'm gonna be driving through Kentucky to go to Iowa in a couple weeks. [00:40:17] Speaker A: Yeah, you'll have to get some grippers. [00:40:19] Speaker B: I'll send you a picture. [00:40:19] Speaker A: They had them in the vending machine at work. I used to just tear that shit up. They're good. There was. I also ruined blue raspberry flavoring for myself. Cause they had these bang energy drinks, and I'd never worked, like, night shift before. And I get out there, and I'm, like, working these night shifts. I'm like, oh, I'll just get some energy drinks. You know, it'll be all right. And I drank, like, five of these blue raspberry bangs in one night and threw up and was like, I can't. [00:40:43] Speaker B: Do you know how much caffeines in one can? [00:40:45] Speaker A: No. [00:40:46] Speaker B: So I used to drink a lot of 300 milligrams of caffeine. That cup of coffee that Aiden is drinking has, like, a third of that. That's like, three. That's, like, three of those in one can. [00:40:57] Speaker A: Was like, you couldn't, like, if you fell asleep out. There's a probationary period where you have a yellow hard hat and everybody calls you butterhead and cheese, and then after 90 days, you get a white hard hat. But I have my yellow hard hat, and it's like, while you're on probation, you can't mess up or you'll get fired because you're not, like, part of the union or whatever. And I was just. You know, everybody was like, don't fall asleep. They'll get rid of you. And I'm like, oh, God, dude, I can't fall asleep. So I'm just pounding energy drinks, you know? But I made it. I did it. I like her for, like, a year and a half. [00:41:30] Speaker C: I like the Starbucks. Starbucks mocha. [00:41:34] Speaker B: Oh, like in the triple shot Bob. [00:41:36] Speaker C: Or the double shot. [00:41:37] Speaker B: The can. Yeah, yeah, I'll throw those back. I was just down in Key west this past week, which I'm sure at some point you'll end up down there. The Key West Songwriters festival. It's chaos. It's like, picture midtown, like division and Demumbrian street, but on an island at the beach for, like, a week. [00:41:53] Speaker C: Yeah. I was gonna ask you how all that went, because it looked. All the pictures looked cool. [00:41:57] Speaker B: It's wild. And we hosted four events down there. So we stayed, we stayed busy, but we did a full week. The actual festival is like three or four days. But Nikki T and I always do the week because then it's like we have a little bit of vacation before and after kind of thing. Go to the beach. But I was drinking the cuban coffee down, down there. Cuban coffee, they give it in that little shot. They call it a boochie. Like abusey. Like Gary Busey. And it's like a little shot, bro. And it's got so much fucking caffeine in them. I probably did like ten or eleven of them. I was just going, bro. So I'm a caffeine. Caffeine. Nick, what was the shit that you were on these? [00:42:29] Speaker A: The Scott, you got me on there. Seven milligrams. [00:42:34] Speaker B: Oh, they're heavier. [00:42:35] Speaker A: Yeah, my roommate does the twelve milligram calories ones. [00:42:38] Speaker B: Kato. [00:42:39] Speaker A: Yeah, they come in six and twelve. Like, those come in three and six. The kato come in six and twelve. But yeah, black cherry. I don't. I've always been a big black cherry guy. [00:42:48] Speaker B: I like black cherry, too. Like, I love like a, like the cherry flavored doctor pepper at five guys. Like in the big soda machine there. Like a wild cherry Pepsi. I'm a cherry guy. [00:42:56] Speaker A: We used to do the black cherry Kool aid growing up. Like, that was the go to flavor. So I've always had a soft spot for black cherry koolaid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was good playing outside. Come in. Mom's got black cherry Kool Aid made best for the days. [00:43:13] Speaker B: I like, I like the, like the squish bottles of them. Like the cool plastic. Like the old school. [00:43:21] Speaker A: Yeah, Kool aid jammers. [00:43:23] Speaker B: There's the jammers, bro. The jammers. It's like those kids are drinking Capri sun, but the cool kids are drinking the jammers. Yeah, just straight. [00:43:30] Speaker A: That's the hard shit or the little barrels. I don't know if y'all good, too. [00:43:35] Speaker B: Yeah, dude. And it's just pure artificial sugar. Oh, that food coloring fucked our generator. We were drinking that code red mountain douche. [00:43:43] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, the code red Mountain Dew and Doritos. That was like the go to. [00:43:48] Speaker B: You are a junk head with your damn food. You weren't kidding.

Yeah, I'm definitely bringing the PlayStation. Like for the Airbnb's. [00:44:11] Speaker C: Yeah, we got, we got a bunch of like Nintendo switches that Ryan and all them are bringing and my cousin gave me like three ds's, so. [00:44:24] Speaker B: I fuck with the ds. I used to have that PSP. [00:44:27] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that thing was ahead of its time. [00:44:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:30] Speaker A: Yeah, that's nuts. [00:44:31] Speaker C: You can watch freaking movies on there and everything. [00:44:33] Speaker B: Yeah, dude, I used to play MLB, the show. [00:44:36] Speaker A: Hell yeah. [00:44:36] Speaker B: On the PSP. [00:44:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:44:38] Speaker B: And that was, that was some fun shit. I started getting the fortnight recently and it's. I've like, nikki t plays pretty much every night that he can and it's. It's cool because it's like hanging out. There's something about the party. [00:44:50] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:44:51] Speaker B: Hanging with the boys, wearing the headset, running around. Yeah, that's more or less what it is. I feel like that's what video. [00:44:59] Speaker C: And it's so nostalgic too, because like, you're there and you're like, damn. Like, this feels like being a kid again. [00:45:05] Speaker B: Yeah, dude, absolutely. And with all. With how busy everybody is right now, especially like the last, last six months for, for you guys, like, it's good to have. You need to have those moments. Need to have that downtime. [00:45:17] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:45:17] Speaker B: With all this. Go, go. Like, you needed to still, like, not get burnt out. Like, getting burnt out is something. Especially like these first tours that you guys are going on. They're a lot of fun. And getting to see the country's fucking cool. You guys are. You're not working in a, you're not working in a factory. You're not running around that side by side. You're not working in the pizza shops or whatever. Like, you can to do what you love, but at the same time, like, you don't want it to feel like work. That's kind of. [00:45:43] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:45:44] Speaker B: Stability is. [00:45:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:45] Speaker B: Keeping it. Keeping it funny. [00:45:47] Speaker A: Yeah. We, we also just like, haven't had any big stretches on the road yet. June. We've got like 14 shows in June and I think we're. We've got like three or four days at home the whole time. So that's going to be like the first real stretch we have of doing it and doing it every night. And, man, like, that's what I've been wanting to do this whole time, is just get out there and get on the road and play shows and headline and see what it's like to. To have a crowd there for you, you know, because we've been, we've been doing a lot of support stuff and it's awesome, getting everybody fired up, but, like, we're gonna be playing to our crowd, you know, and we haven't really done that yet. [00:46:24] Speaker B: What do you think the old 60 crowd's gonna be like? What do you think the people watching. [00:46:27] Speaker A: From the stage is gonna be, like, hopefully pretty rowdy. I like, yeah, we like to have a good time, so hopefully. Hopefully everybody comes up ready to party. [00:46:37] Speaker B: I think it's gonna be a lot of different demographics, too. I don't think it's just gonna be kids. I think you're gonna have, like. And I think it's awesome you guys have, like, supportive parents that are listening to your shit but also, like, enjoy the music. Yeah, I think you're gonna have. You're gonna be surprised at the middle aged folks that. [00:46:53] Speaker C: Yeah, no, definitely girls. [00:46:55] Speaker B: The girls that are there, the guys that are there. It's not just gonna be the small town kids from Kentucky or East bumblefucker, wherever. You know, it's gonna be. It's gonna be a mix of people, because I think you guys are more than just countries, which is what I love about it. [00:47:10] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it's a lot of rock, and there's some folk in there, too, but I think it's mainly rock. Most of the time, I just make. [00:47:18] Speaker C: Rock songs and then just have Jarrett play a cool banjo. We're like, it's country now. [00:47:25] Speaker B: Yeah, there's a banjo. We're from Kentucky. [00:47:28] Speaker A: It can't be rock music. There's a banjo in it. [00:47:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Are there people that you guys kind of. Kind of look up to with that are in the scene right now? [00:47:36] Speaker A: In, like, the similar scene that. [00:47:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:39] Speaker A: Like whiskey Meyers? Like, yeah. They've always been one of my favorite. Treaty. We're playing with them in Houston, their shows. [00:47:48] Speaker B: Have you seen a treaty? [00:47:48] Speaker A: I've seen videos. I haven't been. [00:47:50] Speaker C: I wouldn't watch it. I think you might have been there at the. Is it the Brooklyn Bowl? [00:47:55] Speaker B: Brooklyn bowl was. Yeah, so it was funny. I was actually in Kentucky because I. We had to go up for. We did bulls bands and barrels. [00:48:04] Speaker C: Are we doing that? Yeah. [00:48:06] Speaker B: You doing one of those? Okay. Sick. I love. We'll have to. We'll have to. I didn't see that. Whenever that. Whenever that happens, I'm really good friends with the guys that run those festivals. Like, I love the Hunter and Todd, and there's a guy named Bobby Lee, and he handles the bus, and he's exactly what you think a guy named Bobby Lee would be like. He's an old old dude from Alabama. You can barely understand what he says. He's fucking awesome. But we went to Bulls bands and barrels in Lexington at the horse park. And it was. It was treaty oak opening for Wyatt Flores. Oh, and it was the treaty oak crowd. Dude, they are just. You talk about Rowdy and wild. Cause it's like gossip crowd will have. Have a little bit of elements to it, but it's really sitting kind of getting your feels. And I love what Dylan does, and it's songs that put you in your feels kind of thing. Godwin will be like a little bit of a mix. Tree Diok is pure fucking rowdy. Yeah, there's shit flying, bro. You might have to wear your butterhead helmet. It gets wild, dude. It's. It's. It's a lot of fun. [00:49:02] Speaker A: So, yeah, we're excited. I don't know. I don't know what to expect, you know, like playing to a crowd like that. We're gonna have to bring it. [00:49:10] Speaker B: And it's in Texas. [00:49:11] Speaker A: Yeah, that's our first show in Texas. [00:49:13] Speaker B: That's a big deal. Yeah, that's a big deal. First time I went to Texas, I was selling merch for the Muscadine boys and we were opening for Co Wetzel. And I had people come to the merch to be like, what are y'all doing here? Y'all ain't from Texas. Y'all be here. And then they'd still buy a koozie from me. I was a good salesman. But, um. But like the Texas crowd, I think your music crosses over to that scene so fucking well. [00:49:38] Speaker A: I feel like that's been like the biggest one. When we get people saying, you know, like, come play Florida or come play wherever, it's always like, Texas. Texas. Texas. Come play Texas. [00:49:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:49:47] Speaker A: So we're excited. [00:49:48] Speaker B: And where in Texas are you guys gonna be? [00:49:51] Speaker A: Houston. I don't know the name of the venue. [00:49:53] Speaker B: You guys will be in Houston. That'll be the. Houston's fallen to Houston's all you're at. You're up. Okay, so you're at. You're at the 713. So that's a. That's a bigger room because obviously tree Dioke, they're big in Texas because that's where they're from. That'll be a very, very rowdy crowd. [00:50:11] Speaker C: That'll be a cool. [00:50:13] Speaker B: That'll be very rowdy if you guys been to a bucky's yet? [00:50:15] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:50:16] Speaker B: Okay, so you guys have. Yeah, cuz they have them. But Bucky started in Texas. They have them and everywhere down there they have Bucky's and they have whataburger everywhere. [00:50:24] Speaker A: Hell, yeah. [00:50:25] Speaker B: I don't enjoy whataburger once. [00:50:28] Speaker C: Yeah, we went. [00:50:29] Speaker A: We went down and we. We were, like, in northeast Texas, and we recorded with Taylor Kimball. [00:50:34] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. What's. That's the whole other thing I gotta bring up, recording with Taylor. [00:50:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:38] Speaker B: That is another guy that we've. We've known through different channels of raised rowdy. And obviously his history working with the guys that he's worked with, that's a big deal to go down and to record in Texas with him. [00:50:51] Speaker A: Yeah, and it's the new studio. He just built it. And we went down there, we did two songs, and it was just. I don't know, we. We'd never done anything like it. You know, we. The producer that we work with, Justin Eckerd, like, that's who we did the EP and brother Joe with then he helped. He did some co production on next to you. But it was, like, the first time we'd recorded with anybody else. And so we were all nervous a little bit. And we got down there and I think pretty quickly just realized that it was gonna be the shit. [00:51:21] Speaker C: Yeah, we walked in and he has, like, you know, the Rolls Royce, like, headliner with the stars on it and stuff. Yeah, it was like that, but in this living room, like, it was just like a black ceiling with, like, the stars on it. And I was like, dude, we're fucking. We're living it up. [00:51:39] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:40] Speaker C: Cuz, like, we don't see that shit at home. [00:51:42] Speaker B: You don't see that shit anywhere. [00:51:44] Speaker C: It was just such a vibe. Like, every room had, like, cool lights in it. You know what I mean? Like, it was just a vibe, you know? Yeah, it was. It was a really good time. Yeah, for sure. [00:51:56] Speaker B: Hell, yeah, dude. I love that. And so for this year, obviously, a lot of shows, you've already gotten some new music out. What do we have kind of look forward to? [00:52:06] Speaker A: We're working on new music right now. Always working on new music. And then, I don't know. So we just put out next to you, what, like, two weeks ago now, I think, doing really well. We're really happy with it. I don't know. I think we're gonna just keep making music, feel it out, see what we want to do next. I want to do a project. Like, I know we've been talking about an album. People have been talking about an album where we're filling it out, you know, seeing what we want to do. [00:52:39] Speaker C: Uh, we're just gonna be really busy the next couple months. [00:52:43] Speaker A: Yeah, it's hard. We're trying to find, figure it out, you know, what works for us. We haven't really done the road thing yet. It's gonna be weird trying to write and record music in between figuring out how to make it work. So that's where we're at right now, you know, just, just trying to figure it all out, making it up as we go. [00:53:02] Speaker C: Yeah, we don't know what we're doing. [00:53:03] Speaker B: The best way to learn is by getting out and fucking doing it. [00:53:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:53:06] Speaker B: Honestly. And I'm super stoked for, for you guys. And above all, proud of you, seriously. Because it's not easy to just get thrown into what you guys have been thrown into over these past few months. And you guys seem to be handling it really well. The rest of the guys seem to be handling it really well. And it's, I'm excited to get out to a show. I'm trying to figure out which one we're gonna, yeah, we're gonna get to. I might have to take the trip up to Chicago. [00:53:30] Speaker A: That'll be fun. [00:53:31] Speaker B: The rave would be cool, too, to experience the, the ghosts and shit with you guys. Yeah, but we'll definitely get to get to, oh, bulls, bands and barrels. That's right. [00:53:40] Speaker A: You are doing that with Charles. [00:53:41] Speaker B: With Charles in Pennsylvania. Reading, Pennsylvania. I saw Eric church in redding, Pennsylvania, years ago, and that place is awesome. Another factory town. [00:53:50] Speaker A: Oh, hell yeah. [00:53:51] Speaker B: Similar. That's like factory town. Blue collar folks drinking cold beer, spending the money they made from their shifts that they worked. Like getting off shift and coming to the show. So that'll be awesome. [00:54:02] Speaker A: That one. I'm really excited about that one, too, because I went two years, no, it would have been last year in Lexington to bulls, bands and barrels, and it was Shane Smith and Charles Wesley Godwin. [00:54:13] Speaker B: Now you get to open. [00:54:14] Speaker A: Now we're doing one with Charles Wesley Godwin. And, like, I never thought when I was there, I was like, this would be so cool to do something like this. And then like a year later, we're doing it with Charles Wesley Godwin. That's who I saw. You know, it was just cool. Full circle moment. I've seen him twice. And they are crazy good. Live crazy good. [00:54:32] Speaker B: And bulls bands and barrels is fun, too, because it's like they say, it's not your grand pappy's rodeo. [00:54:37] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:54:38] Speaker B: It's like the rodeo with, like, the guy that does the announcing. He's a little dude. He's a little person. Him and Todd, there are two. They have two little guy. Two little people, and the guy that does the Mc ing, his name is pork chop, and he's a little about yay tall and about yay wide. And he's just this little brick shit house, but he's on the microphone, and it's like. He's like a WWE announcer. It's just electric, and there's pyro everywhere. It's a lot of fun. Yeah, you guys will enjoy the rodeo, and they get to go up and do your thing. Yeah, that Pennsylvania crowd hasn't been exposed to it yet, so there. That's gonna be a lot of fucking fun. So also. Oh, and you guys doing bourbon and beyond? I think we're gonna try to. I think we're gonna try to go to that. [00:55:15] Speaker A: Yeah, we're really. [00:55:16] Speaker B: We're in talks about that one. So that was a certain. It'd be. It'd be really, really cool to get to that one. So, dude, I love what you guys are doing. Happy to have you guys as, like, as raised rowdy kids, you know, like, we. And we're very, very thankful to be a. To be a part of what you be a part of the story of, like, your first show, your first full band, like, gig and the writers rounds and all that stuff.
