00:04:51
Speaker
and Not just summer stuff. Just like everybody else, man. It's hot. Yeah. Kids are home, doing the summer thing, keeping the kids from being bored, all that fun jazz, putting out an ass ton of new music, man.
00:05:08
Speaker
I can't even keep up with you with the amount of music you're putting out. Yeah. i It happens like that sometimes. You know what mean? and i Because I kind of went on a...
00:05:23
Speaker
ah I started working on some music, but I was, I liked the songs and I have some songs that I haven't put out as well, but I just, it was just something about it. I'm like, nah, it could be better. It could be better, you know?
00:05:42
Speaker
And then so and I, don't know. One thing led to another and then there was like a week and a half. I just made a bunch of songs. And i was like in the zone i was like, bang, bang, bang, just making these songs.
00:05:57
Speaker
And so I've been releasing like those six or so songs or whatever it is, you know what I mean? Yeah. And you can tell I'm out of practice and I haven't done this show in a minute because usually I start to show with with music from from our guests. So we'll we'll find a way to play some music tonight.
00:06:16
Speaker
Yeah. We'll get some of that because we have been playing the new music across the board. right on the different shows and stuff like that. We have been playing it. Actually, not too long ago, I came on here and I'm like, fuck it. I'm just going to play music because I don't have a guest.
00:06:32
Speaker
it's It's summertime, man, and it's hard to book musicians because it's festival season. It's concert season. A lot of them are super busy. ah right so It's just like, damn, what am I going to do with this show? Yeah.
00:06:48
Speaker
but i knew I knew I wanted to reach out to you for a hot minute and get you to come up here because you were putting out some, you you put out a lot of new music in a very short period of time.
00:07:01
Speaker
Yeah, I appreciate that you saying that, you know what i mean? Because sometimes I feel like I'm not doing enough, you know?
00:07:11
Speaker
Like I said, I couldn't keep up with it. And and you're and you're you're still kind of playing around with with a lot of different things. You're doing a little bit of country. You're still doing the yeah but A little bit of hip-hop, a little bit of hip-hop country combination. like you're still kind of yeah I got one right now. I almost sent it to you. I just ain't you know perfected yet. I'm mixing it myself.
00:07:32
Speaker
I'm trying to save myself some money from paying my homie to mix it. Because he's amazing and he makes them sound the song sound amazing. Well, I...
00:07:45
Speaker
You know, that money I could save, you know, on some songs, not all songs. I'm still going to send, you know, I want him to work on them But some of the songs I know how to do this stuff.
00:07:56
Speaker
yeah ah And so I can do it myself and then use some of that money to pay to promote some things instead, you know. There you go. Since I've already got songs that, you know, that he did mix, you know, so like I can take a couple of songs I can mix myself.
00:08:13
Speaker
you know, and then use that money that I saved from paying him, you know, I hate to do that. i wish I could just pay him to just do it all the time, you know, you know but i mean, I could, but i feel like, uh, some better use of some of my money will be to promote my music a little more.
00:08:35
Speaker
Oh yeah, absolutely. and and sometimes, you know, we've talked about it here with the different shows, you know, about, um, promoting some things and pushing some things and then it's just like, eh, we'll just but just let it do its own thing naturally and whatever happens, happens at the end of the day.
00:08:53
Speaker
ah But I mean, you've been getting some you've been getting some traction on your new music. I mean, you've gotten, looks like well over 10,000 streams on your your most recent five or six songs. So I mean, you're getting some traction.
00:09:09
Speaker
That's gotta be a nice positive swing yeah nah it's definitely really cool was i'm like that's cool um i just you know trying to keep the ball rolling though because i've had some moments before where i got up to like on spotify that's what i mainly pay attention on because that's where i listen to my music you know and i should be paying attention to all of it but at the same time i'm like man if i can just get it going a little bit on one of them
00:09:40
Speaker
then I'll branch out to other things. I'm not a music manager marketer, you know, like that's not what I do. but ah just, I just makes good music.
00:09:53
Speaker
Yeah. Well, like, I like to think it's good and I'm glad you think it's good. And there are some other people that think it's good. So
Exploring AI in Music
00:10:01
Speaker
that's cool. I mean, you seem to get some love on the social medias. I've seen that you get some love. Yeah, hearing here and there. And then it's like it's hit and miss, too, because, like, I'll pop a reel on ah Instagram, which goes to Facebook.
00:10:19
Speaker
And a lot of times I get love on Facebook because I got friends and family that I actually know and they, you know, they support me. And so ah then I go to, like, TikTok and YouTube.
00:10:32
Speaker
And TikTok usually don't show me no love no matter what, you know. I don't know what I'd be doing wrong on TikTok, but they don't show me no love, man. They gave one of my videos one time, like up to, a like I think, a thousand.
00:10:47
Speaker
And that was like it. And so I just, I don't even care anymore with TikTok. I still load stuff on there every once in a while, you know, because I'm like, whatever. we got do that you got to do some shirtless videos, man. You got to take a shirt off.
00:11:03
Speaker
I know. need to do something like when you were lip-syncing them country songs. You know what I'm saying? I need to be on there doing that. ain't going to lie. I thought about it. I thought about it when I seen you. You know what mean?
00:11:15
Speaker
I was like, shoot, I go ahead. I love some of them old country songs like that. you know I was like, I'll go ahead ah and can do the same thing. but And then YouTube youtube is like,
00:11:30
Speaker
I'll post a video and get two views or I'll post a video and get three or 400. And then for a minute there, ah like it was about a month ago, man, there was like a week, week and a half, maybe two weeks.
00:11:41
Speaker
Bro, they had me like doing like almost a thousand or over a thousand on some of my, you know, my reels or shorts or whatever it is on there. And for me, it was really great. I got like some good comments and things like that. and so I was like, that's cool.
00:11:58
Speaker
And then they just, then they quit. And then they were like, all right, we don't like you anymore. was like, all right. Yeah. Well, listen, it's tough, you know.
00:12:12
Speaker
you know we We'll do the podcast-related stuff, and they'll be like you said, man, Some videos, couple hundred views, if that, whatever. Then you might have that one video that's just incredibly, you know, something that that that we think is super funny and something that we're super proud of just falls on its face.
00:12:29
Speaker
And then something just stupid that took no effort to do will get 3000 views or something like that. And it's just like and
Balancing Life and Projects
00:12:39
Speaker
and that's and that's my problem, too, man, is like I don't know how to pick other stuff like certain people will make music and they'll pick like a certain part of the song and it might not be like, um,
00:12:53
Speaker
a fixed part of the song. And by that, I mean like, you know how a song's got like a hook and a verse and a hook. All right. So, and then like a bridge or something, you know, so maybe they don't play the hook and the verse or just the verse and the hook.
00:13:07
Speaker
They'll do like a part of each. You know what I'm saying? Like, like it'll be like one or two lines. Yeah. There'll be like one or two lines of the hook or a couple of lines from the verse on there. And then like, that's it.
00:13:19
Speaker
or something like that they do certain certain things and i just don't know the parts of my songs that are those parts you know i listen to them and i go man i'm just gonna spit the verse or the hook or something and record you know like i mean whatever so you you pick those parts you know that's the great thing about it being your music because you can yeah well i wish i had somebody though that was better at it i wish i knew somebody that was like hey man this part is the part you should do I'd be like, oh, OK, cool. I'll do it.
00:13:49
Speaker
You know what I mean? I'll do that part. But I just so I don't know how that worked. And I mean, that but that would be like learning a whole other skill. And I'm like, man, I'm learning so many skills now.
00:14:03
Speaker
like I don't want to I don't want to be the guy doing all those skilled work. I just want to create music and I would like it to be, you know, shared around the world.
00:14:16
Speaker
yeah Yeah. That's that's kind of it's got of the boat I was in when I first started doing this podcast. And it was like everything was on me. And I didn't know how to do anything because I'm like, yeah, going to start a podcast. I got a microphone. I got a camera. I got a laptop. Let's go. Yeah.
00:14:31
Speaker
Didn't think about any of the editing, the audio. Right. a Promotion, social, just like, fuck it. you know And then it was like, as I go and I learn, it's like, why am I the only one doing all this crap?
00:14:44
Speaker
You know, now I got blazing here with me and blazes like I'll handle this part of it. You do this part of it. And I'm like, hell yeah. Okay. At least that's what he's doing over there. That's what you need, man. And you know, to build a team is really cool, you know?
00:15:00
Speaker
And I just, I haven't been fortunate enough to, have a team, man. Like, you know, people, but also, you know what mean? At my age, like people are just, man, they do what they want to do. They got families and stuff. They're like, man, I'm not going to dedicate myself to promote promoting this 43 year old guy rapping and singing songs in our meal. I didn't tell my, tell my wife to take me seriously. Like when I tell her I'm going over here and we're ah working on, and not working on this stuff.
00:15:39
Speaker
43 year old white guy sounds country as hell rapping. Yeah. Who plays golf. You know what I mean? plays golf. I'm just out here looking corny as hell. But then I'm like on the rap song, like try me. People are like, yeah, right. Get out here.
00:15:54
Speaker
Yeah. Okay, buddy. Calm down. I'm like, well, I just am who I am. You know what I mean? Yeah. So you got to like you said, you got you were talking backstage. You got to find some some young guy, you know some young college kid that that knows how to do all that shit. And and just like, yeah, and like, yeah. And either work out something business wise to pay him or I would like to meet one man that's like, man, I like your music. You know what i'm saying? Let's I'd like to help you out.
00:16:27
Speaker
I know how to tweak all this SEO and all this information. I'd be like, man, let's go run it. Let's run it. Let's work. Make it happen. Make the algorithm work in my favor. Get me on those social media. Man, and that would be great, man. because like Figuring all that stuff out, man, it's just it's not for me.
00:16:48
Speaker
I guess I'm lazy or something, man, but I just don't want to post reels. First of all, I'm only making reels because I want people to listen to my music. I don't really even want to be making reels. You know what I'm saying? I would music videos.
00:17:05
Speaker
but you know But anyway, I'm making the reels to try to promote the music. And um add they want you to take the reels.
00:17:17
Speaker
And then you got to go in and watch the information and see, OK, people have fallen off at this second. And then you go to that second. You're like, OK, I got do something different at seven seconds.
00:17:28
Speaker
So at seven seconds, I change the scene and I do this. I do my Superman. And then in nine seconds, I do this. You know what I mean? And I'm like, bro, I'm just not doing all that.
00:17:39
Speaker
ah if so if if i'm if I'm not going be successful because I'm not doing that, i just I would rather find somebody that you know could like you know coach me in those ways or whatever. Like, hey, you know.
00:17:54
Speaker
And I feel like, all right, cool, man. Let's run it. Because that's i mean that's basically what we do. i mean Sometimes that's all it is, is just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. you know I know, man. up...
00:18:08
Speaker
you know but it's sometimes but the and but then you end up hits But then sometimes you end up with just a wall full of shit. This is too. And then like, damn, it's stinking here.
00:18:26
Speaker
You know? So it'd be nice to have a team of people around too. Like somebody could be like, hey, man, don't throw that shit at the wall. It probably won't stick. You feel me? And I could be like, all right, cool. We'll leave this.
00:18:44
Speaker
You just need that one extra voice. That's Blaze and I, man. We run shit back and forth between each other all the time. And then sometimes we're both in agreeance and it winds up just sliming down the wall.
00:18:56
Speaker
Other times, you know, we're like, eh, you know. Blaze will be like, yo, look, that's not a good idea, man. let's right let's right Let's tweak it a little bit. Right, right, right, right.
00:19:06
Speaker
or Or vice versa. Yeah, man, you got it. Sometimes you just got to have it. I know this is a little off subject, but when we do the football stuff again, i think ah we could come up with some like ah like segment things, too. You what talking Because you always talk about something else that you did and it was something to do. I can't remember what it was called, but it was something I didn't know about. And I was explaining it to me, but obviously forgot.
00:19:34
Speaker
know what I mean? yeah But it was like a segment kind of thing I was talking about. Yeah, speaking of tweaking stuff, that's I was definitely bladed on tweaking the Sunday show a little bit. once we I think we're all kind of in ingredients that
00:19:49
Speaker
we'll come back next Sunday or next, next football season. We'll be back. Yeah. Keep it. Yeah. Keep it keep it for football. You know what I mean? Up to the draft from draft until football season. You know what i'm saying? I think it's good.
00:20:02
Speaker
I mean, to be, you know, off anyway, yeah like after the draft, you know, you know, a week or so after the draft, there's some news going on there for a while. And then, but anyway, that's just my thoughts.
00:20:14
Speaker
Uh, but anyhow, we'll, we'll, uh, we' definitely We'll definitely get together and brainstorm before we get stronger. We'll hash out some things. cause I know I'm excited to come back for the sports show.
00:20:31
Speaker
I've already got the football bug. who Who did that song for the beginning of this? I did. I did. I did the lyrics. a i did do way i did the lyrics It was AI. thought it was AI, bro. I mean i didn't think it was really AI. I thought it was like it sounded like it was just regular music.
00:20:49
Speaker
But then I was like, man, I wonder if this could be AI, though. Because I was like, that's wild, bro. That's the war so wild. How did you do that? Like, what AI?
00:21:03
Speaker
So I don't remember which one I used, but I wrote probably about 90% of the lyrics. um and then the song generated, and then the song was made, and then I actually sent it to Blaze, and Blaze did the video for it.
00:21:17
Speaker
Yeah. I want to know, man, you got send me that. What up, Sunday Night Smoke? What up, Smoke? Drop that link so everybody can follow you, brother. You're always shouting this out. Y'all go check out Sunday Night Smoke. Go show them some love.
00:21:30
Speaker
The NTS over there doing their thing all damn day, Saturday. That's it.
00:21:38
Speaker
ah Still waiting on my hoodie. i'm just Yeah, go go give Smoke some love, man. Drop that one. Don't forget, him man I don't want forget to forget, too. some point, like afterwards, man, you tell me what you used to do that song because i want to I want to toy around. I got some ideas for some stuff, and I want to toy around with some of that.
00:22:00
Speaker
And I just... Yeah. Alright, cool. i did i did yeah I did the AI for that. and And what do you like? Pick voices? You like pick voices? Yeah, you pick like the genre. You pick male voice. That's cool. That's cool. That's cool.
00:22:18
Speaker
I like it. actually actually did. And then it just makes up like some everything. Yeah, so I'll let you listen to this. It's little switch over. i actually did all the lyrics for this one.
00:22:30
Speaker
This is my son and I do the wrestling show. And this is his intro. But it's done with just want to to the
00:22:40
Speaker
Yo, check the mic, one, two, you know the name Cash is corner, stepping in the wrestling game From bell to bell to smackdown, be raw We breaking down holes, breaking every law Championship dreams, the struggle and the strife We talking victories and the cuts of the knife Every suplex, every pin, every broken hole Stories of the ring, stories yet untold Bruh, y'all, who wrote this?
00:23:07
Speaker
This
00:23:17
Speaker
Yeah, that's just a little just a little snippet of... Bro, that's wild, man. was i was sitting here drunk one night playing with, uh, not gonna lie, playing with, uh, the the AI music and I was just writing down lyrics and shit. I was trying to come up with an intro for Cash's song or Cash's show and this show and stuff because we kept getting popped with copyright.
00:23:39
Speaker
Right, right, right. And so I was just sitting here one night and just jotted down, and it just started jotting notes down and started typing it in. And and then I ran it through Gemini to edit any of my grammar mistakes or whatever.
00:23:56
Speaker
Yeah. and And then I was like, okay, let's see how it sounds. And then I played around with a couple different genres of music and all that stuff. Like I said, I'm no musician by no means. I'm not a songwriter by no means.
00:24:09
Speaker
Just sometimes I get ideas that pop into my head. Nah, man. Nah, this one was cool, but man, the wrestling one, that was busting. Yeah. yeah Yeah, this one was just like, this one I just threw together like five minutes.
00:24:23
Speaker
It was like a rush job. And I was like, fuck it. I like it. And then i then I hit Blaze up. i was like, hey, do you think you could put a video to this? And he was like, when do you need it was like, I don't know, like two hours? the a Yeah.
00:24:37
Speaker
Dude, I could do that, man. could just go on Canva, you know, pull the music in, throw some, you know what mean, little stuff in there. I mean, if you need something fast, you know what I'm saying? The cool thing about it was, you the cool thing about it was, Blaze did a great job kind of throwing the, like, the live concert with the band, and it's pretty close to being synced up spot on. I mean, I gotta give them a breath. Nah, it was cool. Nah, it was cool. I just, like, the AI song was crazy. was like, that's wild.
00:25:11
Speaker
And then, um, I'm going to see, you know, like when I get an idea at some point in time, I was going to maybe make you like a version of an intro song for something, you know what I mean? And just send it to you. And then if it's something you like, you feel me, maybe you use it. Or if you don't just, you know, we won't ever talk about it again. Like it never happened. Right, right. Yeah.
00:25:38
Speaker
yeah right right What email? What email? Who? Derek? Never heard of that. Yeah.
Nostalgia for Physical Music Formats
00:25:45
Speaker
hold Yeah. Yeah. No. and What's Adobe Express for? That's what Blaze uses.
00:25:53
Speaker
For what? fur For all of his editing and and everything he does. On what? Like some video? um Video? What do you use Adobe for? Video, promo pictures, everything, I think.
00:26:06
Speaker
Oh, that's cool. I use Canva just because it's like super simple. And like I have some other program. I forget what it's called because I'm on a Mac computer. But um it's just so complicated. Again, I'm being lazy. i don't want to learn.
00:26:23
Speaker
and don't want to learn that shit. So I just on Canva and I'm like, okay, I got you instead of Canva. That's what's up. You just know what's up for you. Yeah, Canva done added um a new thing. They got an AI on there.
00:26:38
Speaker
And so you could go to like make something. Yeah, you can just type in some information, and bro, and they'll just make you an image. I think it'll do like a little video and stuff like you can could just describe stuff. don't know. I've only done it a couple of times for like artwork.
00:26:52
Speaker
And like, dude, I've been super lazy lately too, man. Like the artwork I've been doing for the music, just I'm like, bro, don't even care. was like... I was like, pull something up and put some word, put the title on there. And I was like, ah, it's cool. It looked corny as hell. I was like, but was like, who cares? was like, ain't nobody looking anyway.
00:27:10
Speaker
If they listen to the music, they listen to the music. They don't don't care about that. Yeah. They don't care about anything else. There you go. Right. And they definitely don't care about it. You know, like back in the day, you know, your artwork was like, you know, really meant something with the music, you know, and now it's like, nobody cares.
00:27:27
Speaker
Yeah. Well, yeah, we've we've talked about that. Blaze and I have talked about that because every once a while, if I don't have a guest, Blaze and I do what we call Glick and Blaze's mixtape. And we just talk music and play some songs from various artists have been here.
00:27:39
Speaker
And we talked about that because you remember you go back in the back in the day, man, you'd go and you'd buy an album or a CD and you wanted yeah you wanted to be able to flip it open and and read. You'd get little behind the scenes information about Yeah.
00:27:54
Speaker
and talk about who made that It would be like people who did stuff on the album. Like you could see like, you know, the drummer and things like that. You know what my mean? Yeah. Exactly. You know, and and and nowadays yeah people don't, nobody buys CDs anymore. Nobody buys. Well, I mean, unless you're old, like, well, some people are buying a like records, you know what mean? Right now.
00:28:19
Speaker
Thank you. have Records alive. I want to get my record player fixed as soon as I have the money because I've got a bunch of vinyls. I love, ah you know, and and it's cool to go into the vintage music stores and come through the crates of of vinyl and find some. And there's a lot of artists that are new artists that are putting out records. They're putting out vinyl again.
00:28:40
Speaker
Yeah. So you can even get some of your new stuff on vinyl. Yeah, you know, ah but yeah, i mean, nobody's that nobody's really doing that anymore. So like you
Songwriting Inspirations
00:28:50
Speaker
said, the cover art itself actually it doesn't even matter at the end of the day. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And like, you used to be able to like, you know, show even show some artwork of your song like online.
00:29:03
Speaker
And, you know, people would look at it like it's tough. And now, like, nobody cares unless you're moving and talking or doing something, you know, and changing scenes. Like i was talking about earlier, at every five seconds, if you're not like doing anything like that, people just don't care. They're like, they're not and going to wait around to see you singing a song, you know? Yeah, exactly. They're like, uh, nope.
00:29:27
Speaker
Nope. Attention spans, ladies and gentlemen, we won't have them anymore. Yeah. and So, yeah, where's the where's the content? what's What's keeping my attention? That's what said, man.
00:29:40
Speaker
You got take your shirt off or something. Take your shirt off and go play golf. I too. I too, man. I too, man. i'm not ah I'm not a bad-looking guy. You know what i mean? I work out a little bit, and I could i could definitely probably pull some attention, but – I just, I'm one of them people too, though. Like if I was doing something like that, I would feel embarrassed. You know, yeah i like when I started off, like, yeah, what's up, you know? and and
00:30:10
Speaker
I'd be like, nah, that's just not me. That's not something I would do in real life. Yeah, i clearly have... No shame whatsoever. right just like yeah like and I mean, now that's a good thing, though. I just, you know, ah i unfortunately I suffer from, you know, worrying about other people's opinions too much, you know, and.
00:30:36
Speaker
you know, I mean, i think that's I think that's where I think that's where my vitality change was. I just don't care what people think at the end of the day. I have more more like the older I get, but hell by the time I'm ready to do whatever it takes, I'll be too old. I'll be 71. I'll be dropping rhymes all the time. Get your old ass out of here. Ain't bedtime? You need glass of warm milk.
00:31:00
Speaker
dropping rymes you know i mean all the time but they get your old as out of here a it bed time you need a glass of warm milk you know but Well, i mean, you got those two, those two, have you seen those two English guys that rap? they're like Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen them guys.
00:31:19
Speaker
Yeah, I was, I was thinking about that. I was like, that'll be me. But the thing is, is look, that won't be cool anymore by the time I get there. You feel me? Because like, look, that was a long time ago, man. It was like, it's almost 20 years ago now.
00:31:35
Speaker
you know what mean? fit Between 15 and 20 years ago, I was already doing some country rap stuff. But nobody cared. Nobody was listening to it then. It wasn't cool. And then it got cool a couple years ago. You feel me? And then i'm like, oh, man, I could be me. I could just do my thing. And then it's like, well, now you got to stand out. And I'm like, well, when I did stand out, nobody cared.
00:31:57
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. that that now You know, it's it's a dime dozen. I'm just another. I'm just. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just. Yeah, exactly. So whatever. um Speaking of speaking of.
00:32:11
Speaker
you rapping. Typically, I haven't been taking breaks, but since I didn't get to play music at the beginning, ah want to play I want to play one of your new songs, and then we might have a surprise for you guys later on whenever if Derek want wants me to ti yeah send it over to me. Speaking of you rapping, I gotta know, because I love this fucking song.
00:32:30
Speaker
What is it? You lying. man. I like that song a lot, too. Bro, you li oh man i like that song a lot too bro I started that song a year ago, over a year ago. It was at like at the beginning of last year.
00:32:47
Speaker
i was almost going to put it on that album I put out last year, but I didn't have the song finished yet.
00:32:55
Speaker
I didn't, I wasn't sure if I wanted to put out a song, you know, talking shit about somebody. It's real life. Like, it's like real life, man. I'm talking about somebody and like ah people who know me know who I'm talking about.
00:33:07
Speaker
you know what i'm saying? And that's what was going to ask you. Was who the hell pissed in your Wheaties? And you don't have to put any names out there. Nah, I won't. Out of respect and just, you know, I don't want to, you know, give them any limelight anyway either. You feel me? But like,
00:33:25
Speaker
Like, he's just somebody who's an asshole. He got some problems. He need to, you know, to work on himself. We all need to work on ourselves, you know what I'm saying? So whatever. And we just have gone separate ways, you know? And I've known this person since elementary school, and, you know, it is what it is.
00:33:41
Speaker
And if he's listening, you know who you know who you are, and that's all that matters. Right. Yeah. Yeah. but i don't even want to Yeah, let's not even go down that road. But yeah, that song, man, is ah I enjoy that song a lot, man.
00:33:57
Speaker
And I almost, that's why i was saying i was going to i had a I talked to Stephen Herman Jr. There's another guy. He's doing music. man You need to holler at him if you haven't had him on.
00:34:09
Speaker
Stephen Herman Jr. He'll come on here, man. I'm going to send you his info. I got his... Yeah, Stephen Herman Jr. P.H. and Stevens.
00:34:21
Speaker
ah Stephen Herman Jr. And And then... he ah and then He was like had some other stuff going on, so we never really it never really fleshed out.
00:34:34
Speaker
and so Then I talked to 501 Bryce, the the kid that's in ah like Arizona, I think, or Arkansas. Something like Arizona or Arkansas. I forget.
00:34:46
Speaker
ah ah and He was going to get on it. and I was like, all right, cool. That'll be cool, man, because I liked you know what he had going on. Like I said, and this was last year. you know Uh, and so, uh, then all of a sudden he started like blowing up and and then I, I didn't hear from him. You know, heard from him a couple of times. He did a couple of things to the song and sent it to me. And like, we had a couple of communications and the next thing know, he was out of there. And I was like, I, I don't blame him. He, probably like 22 years old. you know what but yeah man i got I got time for this old man.
00:35:25
Speaker
but, uh, but But anyway, so the song just ended up taking a little while, you know, just a long way around of me saying that I had that song in the pocket for a long time and I finally wrote another verse to it and ah decided to put it out. And plus, I didn't know if I wanted to put that side of myself out there.
00:35:46
Speaker
You know what I mean? Like, cause I'm like, man, I'm trying to be positive and, you know, and things, you know, and talk about real life things, but this is real life. And I do get pissed off and I do want to put somebody in the face sometimes, you know what I'm saying? And so like, so I'll put it up. It's a little human.

00:41:37
Speaker
ah Man, that song, I will tell you what, man, that song damn near became my anthem. ah these past these past several few months, man, with people talking shit and creeping and lurking around and everything else. I was damn.
00:41:52
Speaker
all right yeah I was like, man, I did not see du um did not see that coming from you at all, but I ain't mad at it. Yeah, I kind of felt that way too, man, and that's kind of why i had it come out after that song Enough, you know, ah because I had it ready before that.
00:42:14
Speaker
But I felt like I'm going to put out that soft song, you know, that singing song. was like, I just want to steal you away. You midnight moon on a back road. You know what I'm saying? And it was like, and I had a little rap verse on it and everything. And it was, and I really liked that song a lot, you know?
00:42:33
Speaker
And, um, it's a good, like poppy type of song. And, um, And I was like, I'm going to have that come out and then the U-Lion because nobody will expect that from me. You know what I'm saying? like i ain't putting nothing out like that.
00:42:49
Speaker
ah So like I'm glad to hear you say that because yeah i I was hoping people didn't expect that from me. we we did i think we deb i think I think Blaze and I debuted it on one of our mixtape shows.
00:43:04
Speaker
so it was the first time heard it and it was just like Oh, shit. Let's go. My guy is on fire over here.
00:43:17
Speaker
But I ain't mad at it. Now, and Enough is another one that I have uploaded and that I really like. I use that in some of the promo stuff this week but you know on on social media. I love that song, man. It's a really good song.
00:43:31
Speaker
It is a good song, man. And ah it's crazy because that particular song came from like, I heard somebody else's song. And I was like, man, i was like, I like this. I was like, this is different.
00:43:46
Speaker
And I was like, I like ah the difference of how he was doing. Like, because I've been like looking for like certain like sound things that I want to do. But sometimes you don't know it till you hear it. You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm.
00:43:59
Speaker
And so I heard something. and It wasn't exactly what I was looking for because it was Dude being him. yeah But i was like I was like, but I like what he did there. And I was like, I want to do a song like that.
00:44:12
Speaker
You know? you know Obviously not that song, but I want to do my version of something like that. And then that's where that song come from. And originally the instrumental to it was I actually was going through stuff and I was like, what would I sing this to? You know, and I was looking for music to use for it.
00:44:37
Speaker
And I ended up, I went to my vocal coach and everything and was like, you know, I was just in my training. I was like, look, i got this song, man. I'm working on. want to see what you could tell me.
00:44:48
Speaker
And I had a totally different instrumentation to it. It was real, like, so it was slower. it was, you know a lot of things and it was okay. But I was like,
00:44:59
Speaker
Something just saying don't know and then I ran into that instrumental that it ended up being on and as I and I had to sing it higher pitched It was faster more energy. you know what I'm saying? And I was like This is a little bit outside of what I'm used to doing.
00:45:15
Speaker
I was like, but I want to do it. I want to do it, you know And then I did it and uh It came out cool, man. like It's one of my favorite songs. like I like it a lot. I've gotten a lot of like compliments about that song, too. so it's like It's really cool.
00:45:34
Speaker
I feel like how you said i had been doing some music lately. and I'm not trying to pull my own chain. This is my coming from my wife as well, though. I feel like, man, I've made some really cool songs this summer or leading into this summer. You know what i'm mean that I mean? For me, I feel like are even better songs. Not that my other songs are bad, but I feel like these are like even cooler. like I'm proud of them. You know what I'm saying? like
00:46:05
Speaker
It shows growth as an artist. At the end the day, you're starting to kind of... ah find your find your niche, you find your spot, and you're starting grow up and putting, you know, and and and now, I mean, I've been a fan since the first time you come on here, so, you know, but maybe in your eyes, in your mind, you're like, okay, now I'm doing better stuff than I did when that album came out, which, you know. Right.
00:46:34
Speaker
and but which has been a favorite of ours around here. I think Chevy Silverado has been a network favorite since you released that song. Yeah.
00:46:45
Speaker
Yeah. And that one does pretty well for me. And I think the name itself gets me some, some, you know what mean? Some streams or whatever. Yeah. So that's pretty cool.
00:46:57
Speaker
But no, man. Yeah. You, you have been, you have been putting out, you know, you put out, uh, but five or six new songs just leading into the summer. Yeah, man. I lost count. i got like like When you said that too, I was going to say as well, like ah it at one point I was like, man, did I upload that song?
00:47:18
Speaker
you know and I was like, I couldn't remember. was like, what order am I doing things? like What's going on? Has Ron sent me the song back? I'm like, oh, okay.
00:47:29
Speaker
Yeah. What's happening right now? What am I doing? Yeah. And that's the thing too, man. It's like, I got another one that I'm about to put out. This is to be the first one in a long time that I mix that I'm going to put out. I almost sent it to you.
00:47:45
Speaker
I probably could still send it to you. You know what i mean? But ah we'll see. you we'll think I'll think about it for a minute. But going to put it out. And then i got a couple country songs that I ain't done yet.
00:47:59
Speaker
all the way. And I think I'm gonna wait on those. Cause I think I'm probably in the future, man, maybe it'll be for, you know, beginning of next year or something or in the mid sometime next year, uh, maybe make a country album.
00:48:13
Speaker
You know, yeah, I think I'll do a country album and just to do it. Like as like, you know, a challenge, you know, but in the meantime, I'm just going keep doing what I do. Like, uh,
00:48:26
Speaker
I do some singing stuff, country rap, regular rap. And this other song that i'm about to drop, I mean, it's straight just just a rap song. It ain't even got a hook to it.
00:48:37
Speaker
I'm just spitting for like three minutes. Damn.
00:48:44
Speaker
It was just, yeah, and I was just like, you know what? That's it. That's the song, whatever. I'm not going to do anything else to it. Not going to stress it too much. man. mean, i mean Nah, I sent it to my homie, Alex Whitmore. He put some guitars on there for me and made it cool. so yeah Anyway.
00:49:07
Speaker
Yeah. Trying to go back and take a peek here. it once again yeah I mean, going back even like, yeah, so the way it go, two, three.
00:49:24
Speaker
Yeah, it was The Way Go. and Was That Enough? You Lying? Came out right or right before that. oh ah ah Dirt Road Redemption.
00:49:36
Speaker
Ain't Going Downtown. And then I got that one coming out next week. ah ah The Reasons Why. And then, like I said, I got this. so I basically got a whole EP that I could have put out. And, uh, yeah.
00:49:56
Speaker
But then like after this next song, like I ain't even done it in a minute. I've just been chilling, but that's kind of how I do. Like, I just live life for a little while. I do some things and all of a sudden I come in for like two weeks and I'm like, all of a sudden I'm in the zone. I'm like, ah, man, I feel it. I'm doing this. I'm doing that recording ideas and, and know,
00:50:17
Speaker
Hell yeah. Yeah, haven't even I haven't even got to hear it. haven't even listened to We Ain't Going Downtown yet. i just heard ah snippet of it today. Oh, it's something different, bro. It's like, honestly, that song should have been on my album last year. I didn't come up with it until recently, but I feel like it would have fit that album. Like, I needed that song on there. It's like the fun, kind of like break it up a little bit more.
00:50:42
Speaker
I had one that was, you know, kind of fun, but this one I like i like better now. it's more It's more fun, than I think. More of a fun song. Yeah, it's cool. yeah yeah I think that's one of those things that can really set off an album, too. If you've got that like one song that's just kind of fun. yeah Like Chevy Silverado is kind of like, it's just a fun song.
00:51:05
Speaker
And and right you know like you said, we've played we've we've played it a lot across the board on the um the different shows and stuff like that. Yeah. I wish it counted towards streams for you when we played it.
00:51:18
Speaker
Yeah, that's all right. um if you if you want to, i do have that song. People Shazam that, though, sometimes. like They'll hear it, and I get i get our emails and stuff. at people you know like Each week, it tells me how many times somebody Shazammed one of my songs. You know what mean? Oh, hell yeah. Yeah, that's It's cool, yeah.
00:51:39
Speaker
Hell yeah. That's one way, yeah. but We're just going to play a couple notes of the song and then you have to go Shazam. You should just get one of their logos that pops up at the bottom and and said like it flashes that says you could just Shazam what you're hearing now or whatever. You feel me? Yeah.
00:51:57
Speaker
and then whoever's music you're born in yeah yeah yeah i want to do more work yeah well you but i'll be y'all wouldn't yeah you
00:52:13
Speaker
good i'll tell you whoigs it i'll tell you the day with a song i'll tell you right right right it's up to you to go figure out the risk I feel that.
00:52:24
Speaker
Don't make me do too much more work. and i'm with you I'm with you. I'm with you. You don't you don't use a stream deck? You ever seen one? a stream deck?
00:52:35
Speaker
Oh, man. yeah and We should talk about one of them, too. man You probably like it. you know ah stream deck is this little box. it's got They got different sizes, but let's say you got one that six buttons on it.
00:52:49
Speaker
And them six buttons have like an LED screen too. So will like it could be a picture in there. So to like remind you of what it does, but you could program the buttons to do whatever you want.
00:53:01
Speaker
You can have them like pull up sites, pull up stuff across the screen whenever you want. Prompts. You can be like, you want to go straight to sharing your screen, a certain screen. I mean, whatever.
00:53:12
Speaker
You could just click the button and make it do that. And then I think you can have like pages of stuff. Like even though there's six buttons, you can have that six multiplied. You know what mean? Where you could like change a page. and yeah so ah anyway.
00:53:26
Speaker
I just like, I feel like people who like you how you're doing so many podcasts would find that useful. so That'd be something that'd probably get me personally into too much trouble because I would have so much random crazy random shit out there. Nah, man, you get your homie, man, blazing, man. You get him to set it up.
00:53:49
Speaker
And then all you got to do is look at it and go bloop and just put your button. Just go, doop, doop, doop. That's it. Please dumb it down for me. Yeah.
00:54:01
Speaker
That's it. oh Yeah, but ah yeah we you got the new song coming out, what, Monday? Is that what when you said it's coming out? I think so, yeah, the 14th, yeah.

01:00:16
Speaker
and But then I have like a certain vibe of something I'm talking about. so I'm like, okay. And this particular song, I liked it a lot. a matter of fact, I'm flying too. I got another song, man, as well.
01:00:29
Speaker
I got a couple of songs like in the bank that I ain't put out. But ah I just remembered that because I was just thinking about the way it's going. um But I had these verses.
01:00:42
Speaker
And then I'm like, what's the hook going to be, though? And I wasn't thinking of anything that was like made me want to be like, this sounds cool or whatever, you know, like he it's like I could say some simple stuff and then leave the verses to be like the the show, you know, I mean, the main show.
01:01:01
Speaker
and then I just, man, I started singing some words. I had wrote down some words of stuff and then I started singing some words. And it was kind of this crazy, like, probably like, man, I used to listen to these rap groups like Field Mob and Dirty Boys and Dirty Boys.
01:01:23
Speaker
I think that's what their name was. Dirty Boys and things like that. And they, ah especially Field Mob. And so I was like singing in this kind of, don't know, just kind of different. You know what mean? And I was like, man, I feel like I like it ah lot.
01:01:40
Speaker
um'm like, but man, people might think I sound weird. and and and But then i came to my wife and i was like i played it like i told i do a lot of times i'll either record a voice memo on my phone like i'll just have it playing on the speakers and i'll rap to the phone when i have just to see what it sounds like on a voice memo and sometimes i'll go ahead and just record the vocals like you know scratch tape just to so i remember how i was saying things you know at that time when I come up with it.
01:02:12
Speaker
And I'll just go downstairs and she'll be sitting there watching TV and I just wait until she's done and I go and I just hit play and hold my phone over there. I'm like, I start playing it and I see what her reaction is. I don't ask her. I'm not like, hey, check this out. I just want to see like an honest reaction, you know, not what, you know.
01:02:30
Speaker
And she was like, oh no, this is really cool. And the so I made like a little video of me singing the hook ah in the studio You know, I went back in there. i had already done it.
01:02:43
Speaker
And I went back in there and was like, oh, let me pretend like I'm just in here, you know, and I put it out and I got some good feedback from some people. And I was like, all right, cool, man. I'm going to do this song then.
01:02:56

01:07:49
Speaker
Yo.
01:07:52
Speaker
Yo. We back. We back. Yeah, we're back. You played the song. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was coming through. I couldn't hear it.
01:08:04
Speaker
I pulled it up on my computer and started playing it, though, so I could be listening man in the meantime. Nice. That's crazy. It's weird you couldn't hear it. but you You couldn't hear it. i was like, oh, crap. Let me go check YouTube. so It was coming through loud and clear on YouTube. That's cool. Cool, cool, cool. yeah i All good.
01:08:30
Speaker
I dig that one. I like a lot. I like the rapping. um I'm a fan of the rapping. Yeah, yeah, me too. I mean, that's that's really where I come from is rapping.
01:08:43
Speaker
I just ah just so happen to, ah you know, I've always sang and then my dad sang and my grandfather sang and i didn't really so I sang like other people's songs you know messing around, but never really like, oh, I'm go really going to do this.
01:09:02
Speaker
and then like i you know My dad passed away a few years back, and I just i was like, man, you know if I'm ever going to sing, now's the time. you know I don't have neither one of them around anymore to sing for me.
01:09:16
Speaker
so Now I got to sing. so Yeah, I was going say, back when I first brought, when your first time when you first, the first time you were a guest, words are hard. I think I was having a stroke.
01:09:29
Speaker
ah It was It was um It's Derek's house of music now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Taking over.
01:09:51
Speaker
But yeah, no, and then I got turned on to some of the singers. I was like, damn, okay, he can sing. He can sing as just as well as he can rap. And it's a different sound when you sing. you're not You don't sound like anybody else.
01:10:04
Speaker
And I think that's the cool thing well you know with your music. But I like that, man. You sent that over to me earlier and I downloaded it onto my phone and I probably listened to it like four or five times in a row.
01:10:15
Speaker
I was like, yeah, I like this a lot. I'm not going lie. I like the song a lot, too. I know I could be biased, but I'm pretty hard on myself. Like I listen to my songs and like.
01:10:26
Speaker
even if I like a song a lot and then then once it comes out, I can tell that I'm like, this sounds cool, but I'm kind of over it now. You know what I mean? And then there's other ones that kind of stick around for me for a while. Like You Lying, I like a lot, Enough.
01:10:40
Speaker
And then this song right here, like I like a lot. ah I haven't been listening as much anymore to the We Ain't Going Downtown song, but I really do like that song a lot. You know, it was just like a fun, just kind something different ah because I did like some different little vocal things in the hook, you know, that I thought was like cool and fun. And and so ah I don't know.
01:11:06
Speaker
I like that song too. Anyway. Yeah. No, I feel you because there's there's some episodes of some shows that I just I really love and I don't like to go back and and listen to episodes over again like ah different shows over again because like you said I'm my own worst enemy I'm my own worst critic man all right cool I will listen to a podcast from beginning to end and I will pick that son of a bitch apart and critique every little freaking detail about it.
01:11:39
Speaker
ah But there are some episodes that that we've done that I'm really proud of. And I'm like, you know, I'll go back and listen to our interviews or guests that I've had on and I'll go back and listen to them randomly.
01:11:51
Speaker
Or if somebody is like, Oh, yeah where should I start at? Cause in all honesty, our shit's not necessarily, you don't have to listen to it in order. Right. Yeah. I got some definitely. If you're going to check out Glick's house of music, start with like Derek Wayne or Southern outlaw, you know if you've got six hours to kill Southern outlaw any, any of the times that I've got to hang out with Jules, because there's certain episodes that I'm really proud of. And it's just like, yeah, man, those are ones that I can go back and listen to. And, and, um,
01:12:24
Speaker
So I totally get what you're saying with the songs. Some songs, man, you're just you really proud of. there ain't nothing wrong with that. Yeah, sure. Yeah, like I'm not one to do that. And like my wife has told me, too, I need to learn how to take compliments.
01:12:41
Speaker
Because, you know, a lot of times people like, yeah, you know what mean? And I see other people that are like, yeah, because I be dropping fire, son. You know what mean? Like somebody comes in and they're like, yeah, that's what I do, dog. You know, and I'm just not that person. You feel me?
01:12:55
Speaker
So like, I can't be on the comments. I'm like, thank you very much. I appreciate you listening to my music. You know, and I'm not like, yeah, dog, that's what I do, dog. You what I mean? Putting down on the mic. You know what it is. I'll start i'll start jumping in your comments. I'll be that guy for you. I'll be like, that's what he does. Yeah, you ain't know the D. Wayne. Oh, so.
01:13:19
Speaker
ah so I'll hype you up. You can you can be ah you can be all all appreciative and all that stuff. and humble I'll come in there. yeah I'll thank you as well. i like again Thank you, Glick. Thank you so much for saying those words that I mean inside.
01:13:39
Speaker
ah got you, bro. Don't worry. hard to and i have to say what it's it's hard to it's it's it's hard to I get what you're saying. like It's hard to come across cocky. Even though even though you know something's good.
01:13:56
Speaker
If you put a song and you know it's fucking good, it's hard to be like, yeah, I know, fucker. I like
Performing vs. Collaborating
01:14:02
Speaker
that. The crazy thing is, yeah, I know I'm good. You know what I mean? I know, but I also know all my stuff ain't fire. It ain't like all hits and nothing either. you feel you know yeah I got a couple of tracks I feel like, man, if they you know they got to the masses, they you know would perform well.
01:14:20
Speaker
And and honestly, for me, you know, the recognition for the the skill or talent would be great, you know, outside of anything else. But also, I would like to, you know, get into, you know, writing music with other people. Yeah.
01:14:40
Speaker
and being that were just Then somebody else could go do all the performances and traveling around. You feel me? and I was going to hang tight at the studio. out and do family stuff. Play golf.
01:14:54
Speaker
i Go hiking. Yeah, exactly. Go jump in that degree water.
01:15:03
Speaker
yeah now yeah i think i dude i would i would love to I know you don't want to go down that road, but I would love to see you on stage somewhere at some point in time doing that.
01:15:15
Speaker
No, I mean, I do want to do some. i want i want to do some, but I'm just at a point that, um and I don't want this to come off the wrong way, but some people will probably think I'm being an asshole, you know, but I had told my homie Ron this as well.
01:15:36
Speaker
He's ah he's the guy i work with, that's an engineer, producer, you know, a lot of things. you know He wears a lot of hats in the audio industry. And ah I forgot what I was saying. What was we talking about but pass our go on the road about?
01:15:51
Speaker
I was like, you know i do want to, but I'm also like I'm at the age where I'm like, I'm not going down the street.
01:16:02
Speaker
to holding the wall club for no reason. you know what I mean? To hope that people are going to turn around listen to me while they're eating their chicken wings. You know? Yeah. Like, I'm just, I'm past that. And I, and there was a point in time I did that stuff.
01:16:19
Speaker
You know, it was a long time ago. I was, that's a young man's game. And I just, a younger man's game, you know, and I'm just like, nah, I don't want to do that. But like, I go do some shows now in Nashville, but it's because, I'm not even really doing shows. I'm actually just featuring with a band that they do some stuff, but we did some music together.
01:16:40
Speaker
And so I'll go up and do like those handful of songs with them. And I enjoy doing it because it's like rapping in front of people. It doesn't bother me at all.
01:16:53
Speaker
singing in front of people terrifies me. You know what mean? On the stage. Yeah. But I feel like I could do my own songs, though, and it won't bother me. You know? yeah Because it's like, I already know that the song sounds cool. I'm just doing it live.
01:17:09
Speaker
So it's cool. Let's run it. But I also don't have a band. And I'm like, um more I guess I can just plug up a USB and be playing the instruments and I can just be rapping. I'm like...
01:17:22
Speaker
it just you know It doesn't seem like a very entertaining show. and know You show up somewhere and you know you see me standing there in my polo shirt fresh off the golf course. and I'm like, all right, check it out, guys. yeah I'm going to plug up my USB and do some music for y'all.
01:17:40
Speaker
What the hell is this all? Yeah, I would go somewhere if I was invited, you know, and that's what I'm saying. Like, I'm invited to go do this music where they're already doing music. And if I was going somewhere where it was like some people that they're like, hey, we like your music. There's some music going on here. They're going to be doing some small stuff. We'd like it if you came and did some stuff. I'd be like, yeah, man, I would go do that.
01:18:02
Speaker
I would love to do that. I just I'm not necessarily chasing. running around doing all that. but Although, man, you know, that was always the dream. It's just, you know,
01:18:16
Speaker
And I would still do it. You know, I definitely would. Don't get me wrong. Like I would I would take blowing up over the next year or two. But I just want it for about one to two years.
01:18:26
Speaker
That's it. Give me a good year. You know what I mean? Like a good solid 10 songs or so that like are popping. Let me do my thing. And then I can just kind of fall back.
01:18:38
Speaker
And I can take my notoriety and I can use that to open doors that weren't open before. You feel me? I could write with some other people, work with some other musicians and things like that.
01:18:50
Speaker
And then that would be great. That's the how I would like to, you know, spend my life doing my family stuff, doing some golf and making music with people that, you know,
01:19:01
Speaker
that would be heard by a lot of people, be enjoyed by a lot of people. That'd be cool. Do that, quote unquote, the guy behind the curtain. mean Yeah, be cool. One of them anyway.
01:19:12
Speaker
I'd be one of the guys behind the curtain. There's a lot of guys that go on scene, you know, like people hear a dope song and they're like, oh yeah, they're like this guy, man, this guy's so hot. And I'm like, he is.
01:19:25
Speaker
I'm not trying to take that away from him either. But and was like 15 other people behind all that. i Yeah, I mean, you look at look at how many hit songs like Chris Stapleton wrote or even Chris Brown or Pharrell Williams. I mean, yeah these are popular musicians and singers and artists.
01:19:48
Speaker
But look at how many hit, like number one hit songs that they wrote and won awards for and you know are making serious money just Hanging back, doing their thing, you know, doing what they love. Yeah, and that's what I like about it is, like, that's what I enjoy doing the most is in the studio, coming up with creative music. And then I do like playing music in places to see what people's reactions are, you know, as well. Yeah.
01:20:22
Speaker
I don't know whether where that would fit in. I guess like listening parties, people have listening parties or whatever. But anyway, yeah, being able to just make the music on that and that ah realm, you know, in that perspective of just being in the studio with other talented people coming up with things and kind of like we were talking about earlier, throwing shit at a wall and see what sticks. It's fun when you're in the studio, you know?
01:20:47
Speaker
mean, that's essentially what those writing sessions are all about. You're just, yeah. yeah just hey let's I mean, everybody can play something and come up with something that sounds kind of catchy, but it's like, well, what are you saying? What are you talking about? Where does it start? Where is it going?
01:21:03
Speaker
How's it end? You know, all of those parts. And are you going to spend that much time? Like, is the idea fun enough or, or entertaining enough, you know what I'm saying? To not only make a song to keep someone else's attention, about keeping your own attention. Like, am I enjoying making this song? am i Do I want to take it through these ebbs and flows and make this whole thing?
01:21:24
Speaker
Or yeah do I have this idea that's kind of like, it's an idea here, but it doesn't I don't really feel like doing all the rest. and Yeah, exactly. yeah So with with that with that being said, let me ask you something, because I know you do write some songs that come from real life experience. They come from, think, like what Dirt Road Redemption is is based on, you know, obviously you lying.
01:21:47
Speaker
How would you feel about somebody else singing your story?
01:21:54
Speaker
And part of me is like, nah, I don't like that. You know what I mean? I'm like, nah, bro, I gotta tell this story. and I'm like, people need to like, I'm the one who experienced, I'm the one who's lived this life. You know what mean? That's how I feel. That's my pride.
01:22:10
Speaker
But, um, I'd be all right, though. That's kind of why I feel like, you know, i'm like, you know, part of me is like, yeah, I definitely want that one or two years so I can be like, hey, look, this is me.
01:22:22
Speaker
You know, like, this me, y'all. You know, like real life. But. And and be able to then sit back and, you know, do the behind the scenes, but I can do behind the scenes and have somebody else doing my music.
Promotion and Merchandising Strategies
01:22:37
Speaker
you know It wouldn't bother me. That's why I was saying um earlier too about I want to do a band. I've been thinking about doing a band, starting a band around here, meeting some people and doing like 80s and 90s country cover songs, maybe some too that early 2000s stuff.
01:22:51
Speaker
And then um ah and then making some music together. because you can always... There's ah there's a band up here and I know they're they're pretty popular, they're pretty big.
01:23:08
Speaker
they ah North of Nashville is the name of the band. And they do a lot of covers, but they also sprinkle in some of their own original stuff as well. right And a lot of show.
01:23:22
Speaker
um Which is something that i've I've noticed the more that I've gotten out to see live music, the local scene, is that they that a lot of these artists, they do they they do their own, they do the covers and whatnot, but then they sprinkle in three or four of their own original songs. Right. Yeah.
01:23:41
Speaker
yeah I'd like to do something like that. kind of surprise the people. Cause I'd be in there doing some of that country that I grew up on and then be like, man, you know, Hey, you know, How would y'all feel? you know, what if I, we did an original, something a little different.
01:23:56
Speaker
And then I bust out like, I could have been a cowboy. You know what I'm saying? Like, there's something different where start rapping in the middle of it. They're going to be like, what the hell is this? you You've done five or six 80s or 90s country songs. Hey, it's time for original. And you just start doing and Yeah, yeah. Everybody know you lying, boy. You know, like, just start getting hype on. Be like, right in the crowd. Like, yeah. It'd be like the people in the front, man, that's trying to enjoy a beer.
01:24:22
Speaker
okay
01:24:24
Speaker
uh yeah that would uh that that'd be crazy just kind of change the game up ah and then go right back into those 80s and 90s countries right but uh um
01:24:39
Speaker
happened here right but ah Well, what I was getting at too, though, is like be with the band and everything. And then if I was like, maybe I meet somebody that's in the music those who could sing as well.
01:24:56
Speaker
Yeah. And then, man, I'd be like, yeah maybe you sing this song, you know, like things like that. And then I could still, know, that wouldn't bother me, you know, it wouldn't bother me at all if it was something like that.
01:25:10
Speaker
And the fun thing with doing like that, you know, a band like that is that you could do those local spots, you know, especially, know, in the summertime. It was a little local bars or Yeah, they got a thing going on here they do in the middle of town, bro. It's called Fridays at 5.
01:25:28
Speaker
And it's, I mean, it's dope. They got some shade. They got a band that be coming down there like each week, you know, that sits down there for like three hours. They do like three 45-minute sessions, I think, or something like that.
01:25:41
Speaker
ah The last one we seen, we've seen a couple of good bands there. ah and now' And I'm like, man, I'd like to do it. You know, yeah see what happens.
01:25:52
Speaker
ah And then, and you know, and speaking on stuff like that, something I'm going to do try to boost and do some promotion is oh my wife and her friend.
01:26:04
Speaker
ah They do. They're in real estate. I mean, I'm in real estate as well, but and they're like, they're more constantly real estate so uh so they do they do real estate and um they uh they had a booth at the fair last year and they did like they bought like a yeti bag and whatnot um was like hey you know we get your name and number you can end for an entry to win this for free yeah you feel me And so it was leads. They was getting leads, you know, to talk to people about, you know, buying homes, refinancing, whatever.
01:26:42
Speaker
oh So I'm going to, I want to go down there and rent one them booths. and get people to enter. I'm going to have some prizes and all they got to do is go follow me on Spotify and Instagram. You feel me? Like, bro, I could see 1,000 people a day down there. I'm like, man, for a free chance to win something.
01:27:01
Speaker
And who knows who i might run into that might, you know, like the music. Hit them with a card, you feel me? They can find the music. And I think it'll be, you know, ah it doesn't cost it doesn't cost so much that it's not worth it. I think it'd be really worth it.
01:27:14
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. I mean, you get that that, get yourself out there. You could have some of your music in the background, you know. you keep it That's exactly what I'm to I'm going have my music playing and then I have to get some merchandise.
01:27:27
Speaker
I've been thinking about doing some merchandise too, you know. i just don't really have like a logo. You feel me? I'm like, what's my one? I need to make me a logo, you know, that can put on stuff.
01:27:41
Speaker
But it ain't like nobody gonna know what it is. Ain't nobody gonna see him. like Oh yeah, that's Derrick Wayne Douglas. That's Derrick Wayne. Derrick Wayne. Derrick Wayne right there.
01:27:52
Speaker
Old DWD over there. Old Darkwing Doug. Let's get dangerous. yeah yeah Well, um eventually i will be doing our merch.
01:28:10
Speaker
So Yeah. So, you know, you you, you, you, you will know a guy that can do things for you. I just have, I've come up with some ideas of stuff, man. Like when I'm on Canva and I, and I basically, i don't even want to, i have a couple of sayings that I'm going to use that I like, I've come up with, like I tell, sometimes I'll be telling a story about people and I'm like, you know,
01:28:39
Speaker
some people get to tripping about something, you know, like say you say something to somebody like I like say I bring something to your attention. I'm like, hey, glick man, you know, you've been doing this, this and this man, you know, kind of pissed me off.
01:28:52
Speaker
And then you're like, man, you fuck yourself, man. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and I'm like, I'm like, hold up, though. You know, like you, you, you did do this thing.
01:29:05
Speaker
Damn, I forgot why I was even telling you this. You said you had the same. Oh, yeah. And ah so then i would tell people sometimes, like, if you don't like the truth, change it.
01:29:19
Speaker
So, like, if I'm telling you something that's true and you're just like, hey, you go fuck yourself, you know what i mean? But what I'm saying is true. I'm like, hey, what? Like, I'm like, hey, you know what I mean? if you don't And then you're mad at me.
01:29:31
Speaker
And so that's my thing is I'm like, well, if you don't like the truth, change it. you know that's i can't I can't do nothing else about the truth. like The truth is the truth. oh i had so I have like a couple of different like sayings of things I've said ah that I would make, but also just want to use stuff that's already like you know popular. People would be like, faith over fear.
01:29:55
Speaker
I could just have a shirt that says, faith over fear, Derek Wayne. Yeah, Derek Wayne down there at the bottom. Just real quick, just talking about my little face at the bottom, Derek Wayne. A little profile pic.
01:30:11
Speaker
Oh, man. No, yeah, I feel you about that. We do that. We've got some sayings. The whole words are hard thing. That came out of us first starting for starting doing podcasting and not being able to put my words together or fucking shit up. but they It was just like, God, words are hard. And it's stuck around the last four years.
01:30:32
Speaker

01:30:55
Speaker
You got some merch. And get some people to buy some stuff. like yeah i That's what I want to get to as well. you know I just want enough, if there were some people out there that. Right now, if I made some merchandise, I don't think I might sell it to some family.

Speaker
um Maybe I could get one of them ones, man. I can get them put it in there. I just bought one from my wife. don't Was about holiday Mother's Day? Something like that. ah And it's just like a little square. and It's a magnet you can stick on your fridge, but it you can you can load a song into it and it'll play the song.
01:37:25
Speaker
But it's very skinny, you know what I mean? And you have recharge it every once while but it's a magnet. it goes on the fridge. I can put a magnet in there, and it'll have my song on it, so you can just hit the little button, and start playing my music, and have a QR code in the picture.
01:37:42
Speaker
Yeah. I mean... You just go into the bathroom, and all you hear is your music. Why are you lying? What? What? Oh, dude, that would be, like, yeah, real aggressive. I'd be like, dang, man, just had to take a piss, bro. Like, I got all serious on me.
01:38:02
Speaker
and I got all serious on me. Like, what the hell? ah this the reply button? Hey, look, I don't know if you'll be able to or not.
01:38:14
Speaker
Let me do this. What's that?
01:38:18
Speaker
I just sent you an email, man. I figure if you want to, there's a song I'm working on right now. And I just, I put like a little mix on it. I don't know if ah so I'm going to use it or not. And it's that one I was telling you about that.
01:38:34
Speaker
i ain i I don't know what's going on with it yet, but i want to put it out and ah you can play it if you want to. And then we could just...
01:38:48
Speaker
And then we could probably like wrap things up soon or something. i probably need to get to bed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just looking at that. We'll get ready to wrap up. Let me see if I can... I don't have to, but I'd like to.
01:39:03
Speaker
but I would like to say that I'm going to go to bed, but I know that's a lie. Yeah, I might not go to bed for a few minutes at least. man I usually fall asleep around 11 o'clock.
01:39:20
Speaker
see Except for on Friday and Saturday. Sometimes on Friday and Saturday I go to bed then. But a lot of times I like to stay up and play a little Call of Duty.
01:39:33
Speaker
Did you get the email? No. Yeah, I'm looking. um um ah yeah I'm pushing buttons and doing things. We'll see if it works.
01:39:47
Speaker
So I tried to, I was like, yeah, I got it downloaded on my phone. You know, the other song, I was like, I'll just yeah upload it right from my phone. but So when you upload from your phone compared to your laptop,
01:39:59
Speaker
and it's weird. you're only You can only use, is this ah is this a video or is this just audio? It's just audio.
01:40:11
Speaker
Okay. Okay, it looks like it's uploaded. So, like, you know, the files are bigger on your phone than what they actually are when you upload them onto your laptop. So it won't me upload them to StreamYard.
01:40:24
Speaker
So then I had to come home and then I had to, like, take it from my files on my phone. And i should have just emailed it to myself now that I see that this is better and easier. But I sent it to like WhatsApp and then it was on WhatsApp and it was sounding all kinds of crazy and shit.
01:40:39
Speaker
But I saved it to my laptop and I uploaded it and it and it played and it played perfect. So. All right. Good. I'm glad it played perfect. I couldn't hear it, but I'm glad it played perfect.
01:40:50
Speaker
Right.
01:40:53
Speaker
ah Let me know when you play this one, because I know if i ain't going to be able to hear it, I'm going to play it for myself in the background, though, just so I'm like, you know, on the same page. Um, so this is, this is road. It's called road song.
01:41:09
Speaker
Yeah. That's just a draft, uh, of a song that I want to put out and I probably will at some point. Uh, but I've got a couple of songs like, you know, like this that are sitting in the works where I'm like, I'm just making sure there ain't nothing else that I want to like add to it or something. You feel me? or I want to do differently.

Speaker
I mean, that's, that's other things aren and when you, when you, when you're doing like any form of entertainment, if you, if you're significant others around and whatnot, you're going to get that real raw reaction. Well, look, I did that other song. You said the one you ain't heard yet, the wind going downtown. Cause that just came out like last week, I think.
01:51:15
Speaker
And, uh, It was just like a fun... i made that song. That's the quickest I made a song in a long time, man. It was like bang, bang. you know cause It was just something fun, simple, easy. and i met When I first made it, before I recorded it,
01:51:32
Speaker
about motorsports, I'll see. ill think i'll so I'll check it out. I might be able to make something about motorsports. Go real fast and turn left. No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I know motorsports is more than that. I'm just kidding.
01:51:48
Speaker
yeah
01:51:50
Speaker
ah and da I forgot what I was saying, though. ah What was I talking about? You're talking about the new song. ah ah It was the fastest song you ever did.
01:52:02
Speaker
Oh, that other one. Yeah, We Ain't Going Downtown. When I first took it to her, I didn't actually have like the recorded idea. i did like a voice I had my voice thing, and I recorded I just had the speaker playing the music, and I just recorded vocals you know i'm saying on my phone.
01:52:17
Speaker
Yeah. man I do that a lot of times to test out a song because I know it'll sound like shit on there. But if it sounds like it's a good idea on there, then I know that, you know what mean? It's probably going sound good when I record it.
01:52:30
Speaker
And so I took that to her and I started playing it. She was like, she was like well, because it had a couple of different things. And I was like, nah, trust me. It's going to be cool.
01:52:42
Speaker
Trust me. And then I recorded it. And then she was like, ya you was right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't always listen to her opinion. but Sometimes I'm like, nah, this sounds good. i don't care what you think.
01:52:55
Speaker
I'm doing this. I'm putting this out. I don't tell you how to sell houses. You don't tell I this. thought I told you this what I do. You know what mean? I'm Derek Wayne. Yeah, I'm Derek Wayne. What? You know what I'm saying? If you like the truth, change it.
01:53:15
Speaker
with a oh For real. But now, ah yeah, anyway, yeah, anyway, man. Yeah, it's cool letting her listen to stuff. And she does support me, but she will be honest.
01:53:30
Speaker
She's honest with me. She'll tell me like you know certain things. And she tries to help me with singing, too. cause She's like, oh, man, just let loose and sing, because I don't always let myself let loose. Sometimes I ah get real rigid.
01:53:42
Speaker
You know what I mean when I'm singing? Because I'm like trying to do it. i'm like I'm trying to like make it sound good. And it's like, man, I've just naturally, my voice sounds good singing. Just let it go.
01:53:56
Speaker
Yeah, man. Sometimes, yeah. I mean, she's not wrong. Sometimes it's just what you got to do. You just got to be, you know, we're we're we're human beings and we're all we're all guilty of overthinking from time to time.
01:54:07
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a big thing for me. Yeah. And I used to be that same way doing these shows. When I first did the first couple episodes of this show, man, I was just, I was in my head and I was overthinking it.
01:54:20
Speaker
And then I was like, listen to the advice of a couple of people. And, and I knew what, i how I wanted this show to go. And it was just like, dude, just, just, but just let go. What happens happens at the end of the day.
01:54:32
Speaker
And that's, I think that's the best advice, even like for singers or, or rappers, you know, you got it. Just get out of your head and just just do it. hey Like Nike says, just do it.
01:54:43
Speaker
a Yeah, yeah. But um no, man, it's always a pleasure hanging out with you. you know You know you're my boy. I got a little bit love for you, man. I'm glad you were able to pop up here tonight.

Football season's right around the corner. We'll be back doing our thing on Sundays. Yeah. talking I'm looking forward to it. Yeah. um I got to start looking into next month, putting the fantasy league together. Yay.
01:55:52
Speaker
Yeah, definitely keep me posted on that. I'll do that as well. Yeah. and think well well I think I'm going to, I want to shoot for like a 10 team league. I know there's a couple other guests that I've had on here that were like,
01:56:04
Speaker
Hell yeah, let me know. I'm in. So I think I'd be really cool to get some former guests in there as well. Hey, man, I'll play for some money if anybody's interested. You know what saying? Like I play in a couple other leagues. Well, play – I have my own league, ah you know, if you're interested as well.
01:56:21
Speaker
You know, we had 12 teams last year. We'll do like 14 teams if we need to. Or sometimes I have people that drop out and I need to replace somebody. But we do $100.
01:56:31
Speaker
And i just did ah my league out of all them first place wins a thousand second place gets $200. My other league, the other league, they do a hundred, but was 14 of us and they do 800 for first for second and for third.
01:56:51
Speaker
I don't do a third place. I'm like, nah, bump that champion. Like, I want to make it worth something. Like, you win, you win $1,000. And then runner-up gets little consolation prize. You made $100. You know what i mean? Get your money back, you know? Yeah, like third place and all that. No, you don't get nothing, bro. You lose.
01:57:12
Speaker
You feel me? If I learned anything from Ricky Bobby, if you ain't first, you're last. Yeah, facts. I almost was going to do that. I was like in the league. I was like, nah, man, just 1,200, you know what I mean, to whoever wins.
01:57:25
Speaker
But I was like, I'll give second place, you know, because I mean, I kind of feel you made it you made it to the championship game. Yeah, you feel me Yeah. Yeah, second is first loser.
01:57:37
Speaker
well i That's right. Do the losers of the Super Bowl get anything? They got paid. They got an extra paycheck. They get some things. That's what I'm saying. theyre go next year she saying yeah they get they get some things that's what i'm saying so like i'll give i'll get you know They don't get a ring. and They don't get a belt. They don't get bragging rights. But you made to championship,
01:58:00
Speaker
argue two hundred you know out of Yeah, right. But anyway, I'll tell you about that and then you let me know. And if y'all want to put some money on the league, we'll put some money on it too. we could do We could do less, like $25 each, $50 each, something, you know, whatever. Yeah, that's what we do in my personal league. It's like, is it 20 or 25? can't remember.
01:58:21
Speaker
i know i tried to go I tried to go higher, but everybody of my league bunch of cheapskates. I just feel like the season is long enough. It's like you know four months of you know playing.
01:58:35
Speaker
I'm like, $100 is $25 each one of those months. i mean For me, I'd rather make it worth it for the hundo. you know mean I get you know you thinking you know but You're not gambling at that week.
01:58:47
Speaker
You're putting in a lot of work. like man You're trading and Yeah, exactly. Run around all season long. like And I like playing it because it keeps football more interesting for me.
01:58:58
Speaker
Because otherwise, I'm mostly just watching my team. You know? So now I'm watching other teams like, yeah, man, I want this guy right here. this i don't even know who this dude is. You know, I'm like, I want this guy. That's how it was for me when I started playing fantasy football. Because, like, I know one year, but brown the Browns were playing the Cowboys.
01:59:21
Speaker
And I had like Dak Prescott was my starter. And then I had like CeeDee Lamb or Cooper or something like that. The Browns were just stomping a mud hole in Dallas. And I was like, come on, you guys are killing me right now. But I had a couple of Browns players.
01:59:35
Speaker
And then all of a sudden, here come Dallas in the in the second half coming back. Right, right, right. and Now your points are like. Yeah, then my points are just going apeshit. But we were at a buddy's house. And there was a few of us there that were the fantasy league.
01:59:50
Speaker
yes, I'm a Browns fan, but yes, I was also cheering for Dak and Amari Cooper. And one of the other guys had a couple of Cowboys on his, on his roster, even though he was a Browns fan.
02:00:01
Speaker
They're like, what the hell are you guys doing? It was like, it's fantasy football, baby. All bets are off. You know, obviously I want the Browns to win, but I need these assholes to perform too. That's right. That's right. That's right.
02:00:13
Speaker
So, but yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll talk more about that when we get closer to it. I think we have a couple of, we got, We got, what, another month and a half or two months before preseason, something like that?
02:00:24
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, you'd have to draft in like a month and a half. Yeah, mid-August, end of August. Yeah, you'd have to be be drafting by the end of August um because the first season games will be in, you know, first week of September, I think.
