00:08:47
Speaker
Man, um'm I'm trying to stay busy to keep, you know, like like they say for the Internet, get more followers, get more people to hear my music. trying to get out there however I can, know, performing everywhere I can, know, constantly working, recording in the studio, outside of working to take care of home and
Artists' Struggles with Industry Pace
00:09:08
Speaker
everything else. Just, just grinding and staying at it, man.
00:09:13
Speaker
Hell yeah. I hear that. I mean, that's, that's the goal is, is the grind, you know, that, that you can't, you can't, you know, you can't start to, you can't miss a beat because you, uh,
00:09:26
Speaker
you start to slow down and everybody else starts zooming past you before you know it. Definitely. I tell my buddies, they say, they say it's like a hundred thousand or something like that. Songs uploaded a day from different artists, you know, and I'm like, yeah, I got a guy fit in there somewhere. You know, I got to make sure I get ahead of them.
00:09:49
Speaker
So you got to, You got to sneak in there,
Performance Opportunities and Growth
00:09:54
Speaker
stay, you know, you know, it's that old saying, man, you got to keep it up with the Joneses. You know, you got to, you can't slow that. I mean, you do then see it.
00:10:05
Speaker
People forget about you quick when you're, when you're up and coming artist. I tell some of my buddies all the time, they're like, man, I'm taking a break from music. I'm like, what? I'm like, you know, you you take a week off and just fall back from everything. It sets you back. It's like a year.
00:10:29
Speaker
What's going on, Mandy? Yeah, there is, unfortunately, there is no breaks. There we go. Yeah, I got that right. Right there. You guys can find him on them socials, on on social medias.
00:10:42
Speaker
Yep. Definitely. It's all about finding the right audience. Yeah, last time you were on, man, you hadn't really had a chance to to get up on stage too much. Is that you know you've you've brought it up. Is that changing? Are you getting more time on stage and stuff?
00:10:58
Speaker
I feel like since I've said that, you know I was doing a lot of local stuff, but what has it been about a year now? Yeah, I think it has. i was looking a year now I think it's been about a year.
00:11:09
Speaker
yeah been but you Dude, I've been, like I told you, know david I made a 17 and a half hour drive to Dallas, Fort Worth to go shoot a video. I down there for four hours and drove back and I've been out of place, not to lie. I love it.
00:11:26
Speaker
I love the experience. I love being able to go around and just see different places and see different people. But the the biggest shock is to be able to get up and perform and people be singing the words of my song back to me. I guess right now, like that's the biggest payout of it is to see that. To know like Because, you know, um know a lot of songs, you know, i can hear them and just know them word for word. But that song has to really hit somewhere for me to learn it or know it like that, you know.
00:12:06
Speaker
And so i I'm always thinking, I'm like, man, you know, it has to it has to hit a certain place for people, you know, to to support it and show love like that. ah yeah and and you know And that's and that's ah not only that, but it's also a sign that people are coming out to these gigs and they're they're coming out to see you, man.
00:12:25
Speaker
They know your music. They're fans. They're not there to see whoever you know whoever else is there. Like, oh, yeah, in and Zay's here as well. I guess we'll check him out because we're here. you know People are coming out to actually see you. and you know They like your music. They want to hear it. They want to sing along with it.
00:12:40
Speaker
So, that's yeah, that's that's got to be awesome, man. I like doing the shows where nobody knows me and then i make a fan or two, you know, to me making a fan or two where nobody knows me whatsoever. I'm like, I love it, dude. I go to shows and I'm usually hanging out with a crane or, you know, one of the other artists or somebody like that. And they always ask me if I'm security or something. and I'm like like, no, I'm actually, I'm actually to be performing here in just a few minutes. Yeah.
00:13:13
Speaker
But I love it, you know, because when I get on stage, I don't think, I think it's something other than what they're expecting.
Zay's Unique Musical Blend
00:13:25
Speaker
Well, and we talked about that the first time you were here. You have this, because you are, you're a country bumpkin, you're a country boy, you know, but you have this unique blend of country and hip hop.
00:13:37
Speaker
But you don't try to make it, quote unquote, hiccup. you know and Nothing against some of these hiccup artists. It's just your own thing. you know And it's just that just that perfect blend of the two genres of music.
00:13:50
Speaker
And I feel like it's is so different. I feel like that's what's taking a while for it to catch on. you know, and because people always ask me, it was like, so do you could consider yourself a rapper or a country artist or, you know, they're like, what do like? What do you consider? And I'm like, I'm a music artist. I don't know. yeah you know, i wouldn't, cause say I would, I definitely want to say I'm just a rapper.
00:14:19
Speaker
You know, if I had to put it in anything, I would say, country or i don't want to say country rap because yeah i feel like you know i say i'm a country rapping rock star and i feel like in each song you get a blend between southern rock rap and country it's like yeah it just comes out like that and i feel like it's it's in every song so i don't know what you know i don't know how would stick that in one lane and just be like yeah
00:14:52
Speaker
it it is It is the ADHD of
Personal Stories and Authenticity in Music
00:14:55
Speaker
music. it And it fits me perfectly. you i' just saying this oh I just seen this tattoo I'm about to do on my thigh.
00:15:04
Speaker
And it's from the ACDC. But it says ADHD with the light the boat in the middle and red. And up under, is no you know where it says Highway to Hell?
00:15:16
Speaker
This says highway dot dot dot look a squirrel.
00:15:23
Speaker
I'm like, yep, that is me 100%. I was like, I got to get that tattoo. That's me 1,000%. Yeah. no
00:15:34
Speaker
I feel that was so much. you know I'm the same way. ah Charlie Fry needs a jelly roll. I like i'll just highlighted that. I liked it. Thank you very much, Mandy.
00:15:49
Speaker
i Yeah, she's not she's not she's not wrong. i mean, there there is that, like I said, whatever it is you're doing, and I told you this the first time you were on, whatever it is you're doing, don't stop.
00:16:00
Speaker
you know yeah But it seems like in the last year, you know, that you've gotten more comfortable in your music and what you're doing and and and kind of where you are.
00:16:12
Speaker
And it shows... ah
00:16:15
Speaker
I think at first I was trying to just literally just do what everybody was wanting to hear. You know, and then it I think my fuck it started to kick in.
00:16:28
Speaker
And it was just like, you know, look they're going they like me. They like it. They don't. They don't. You know, I got I got to do what I like. Yeah, exactly. and And that's ultimately what it boils down, man. if It's if you don't like it, it's going to show.
00:16:45
Speaker
You know, da you're not going to be happy with the product you're putting out there. It's going to show would you when you get into the studio or when you do your live shows and stuff like that. And not only that, but it also people can tell, especially fans are like, I bring this up all the time.
00:17:01
Speaker
and and i And I hate to say it, but ah nows now his damn name escapes me. The lead singer of Stained. Aaron Aaron Lewis.
00:17:12
Speaker
Ah, yes. the the first The first time I seen them in concert, and this has been years and years and years ago, it was terrible. It was terrible because dude literally just stood on stage with his head down singing songs.
00:17:26
Speaker
And then, you know, years later, it comes out and you find out that he was absolutely miserable because the record yeah the record label made him be a certain... style and sing a certain way and it wasn't who he was and and he wasn't true to who he was and then all these years later i see him again i see stained again at louder than life and they were phenomenal was a great show and was like holy shit you know 20 years later however long it was it was like wow this is like a totally different person but he'd already done his country stuff and put his country album out and everything like that but yeah you know that speaks volumes and the fans see that stuff you know
00:18:01
Speaker
like, he's not really being himself. He's not being genuine, you know? And it's just like. Yeah, I feel like it shows, you know? Mm-hmm. So, yeah.
00:18:13
Speaker
um As I said, definitely in the last year or so, you've definitely kind of grown into your sound, I think, as ah as a fan and and somebody who's enjoyed listening over the last year and and stuff like that. ah he They got that Carolina blow for real.
00:18:27
Speaker
but Carolina boy through and through. Yeah.
00:18:35
Speaker
But um speaking of the new music, man, we we we started the show off with Country Lovin'.
New Releases and Audience Engagement
00:18:42
Speaker
I know that one just came out a little while back. I'm digging that song.
00:18:45
Speaker
I think it's one of the, I already had it downloaded and everything. I didn't even have to go bite it because it's what I've been listening to. awesome appreciate it. That one and I'm too white to sing.
00:19:00
Speaker
they But without you? without I would say without you. Without you, yeah.
00:19:09
Speaker
So me me me and my producer, we had a thing about that because I was like, that's how i wrote it. you know I text. I write like I text, and it's a bad thing when I shouldn't. I do too. It's the same way. so turn And he was like, that's how you need to do it.
00:19:26
Speaker
Because that's how i saved it once I recorded it and as the file. He was like, that's how you need to do it. And I was like, man, ain't nobody gonna know what that is. He was like, yes. He was like, you need to put it out there just like that.
00:19:38
Speaker
I was like, okay. I was like, we'll try it. Hey, whatever. I mean, you're the boss, you know? It works. give it a time. Yeah. hey we' give with time yeah yeah like the yeah I've just spent so much of my life getting yelled at for for improper use of the English language.
00:19:58
Speaker
Exactly. I was like, dude, they're going to think I'm super slow. It's just something to make you click on and listen to it. This boy's retarded. I swear. l no Either way, let's see.
00:20:15
Speaker
If it works, it works, though. and i think I think he was right. It definitely works, man. It was one of those songs where when I first seen I was like, I know what he's saying, but is he saying that? Let me listen to this song. That's what he's saying. I mean, is is I'm hoping it's working. So hopefully, you know, people listen to it and like it. maybe as I'm hoping it's one of the things that it'll make them click on and be like, what?
00:20:41
Speaker
What? what sam is What's going on, bro? Yeah, what? like Hey, a click is a click at the end of the day. Yeah.
00:20:52
Speaker
and People do a lot worse things for clicks, let's be honest. Definitely. Definitely. No, I'm digging it. But you know what else what else you got going on or or you know in the in the last year? I mean, I don't know.
00:21:05
Speaker
Like said, there's going definitely be new faces and new eyes and ears on this that are going to hopefully go check out your music. Definitely. I hope they do also. and follow. Don't only listen, but follow.

00:22:24
Speaker
I heard that. Yeah, you'll have to you'll have to send me the info about that and Lafayette show. I might try to like me take me a road trip and come out there and and catch you guys and and maybe hang out and say hi to you and whatnot. if Yeah, definitely. Come on out.
00:22:39
Speaker
Because that's only about four hours. That's only about four hours, man. That's that's an easy hop, skip, and a jump little road trip. and I'm all about getting on the road and driving. Dude, I love it.
00:22:50
Speaker
I love it. Everybody's like, why don't you fly? And I'm like, what? What? No. I'm driving. Hell no. yeah The click is a click. No, we're driving.
00:23:02
Speaker
zaus but no Yeah, man, that's that that's that's my mindset. It's like, if I can drive, I'm driving.
00:23:13
Speaker
I know it might be a little bit more expensive in the long run, you know but ah and which sometimes you just can't beat a good road trip. you know You don't know what's going happen. I love I mean, I'm a little bit older than I used to be, so it's not like two too too crazy of shenanigans are going on.
00:23:29
Speaker
But, you know, it's still, you can make some good memories and have so have good fun on ah on a random-ass road trip.
00:23:41
Speaker
So, yeah, and it sounds like you've been all over the place. You said you were just up here not too long ago in my neck of the woods. I should have more attention to ah the social medias. What is it?
00:23:52
Speaker
Portsmouth? Portsmouth. yeah, Portsmouth. Yeah, I was calling them Portsmouth, and they were saying it was something different. I was like, okay. Portsmouth. It's Portsmouth.
00:24:03
Speaker
I'm from here. I don't know. They're a little special down in that part of Ohio. They're basically Kentucky and West Virginia down. Once you get into Southern Ohio, we don't claim a lot of them that way. Yeah, that's exactly what it was, Southern Ohio.
Embracing Roots and Regional Stories
00:24:20
Speaker
We don't claim a whole lot of them. ah and I'm up in central Ohio, so but but once you get too close to that Kentucky-West Virginia border, they're like, yeah, they might be them. but They might belong to that side of the fence.
00:24:31
Speaker
So what are you close to? I'm close to โ I'm up by Columbus, right right in the middle of the state. I'm โ um I'm actually about a half hour, 45 minutes east of Columbus.
00:24:48
Speaker
That's why said that Lafayette trip is easy, man. thank Yeah.
00:24:57
Speaker
Yep. That Lafayette trip is easy, man. Just shoot 70 all the way and into Indianapolis and then up into Lafayette. That's an easy trip. Come on out.
00:25:10
Speaker
Definitely. You'll know it.
00:25:14
Speaker
yeah I think the kids are out. now think Yeah, the kids aren't with me that weekend because they come home this weekend. I mean, that's the following weekend. Yeah, so, yeah, I should be kid-free. Road tripping music is the best, Mandy.
00:25:29
Speaker
ah There's a lot of great artists that have come through these doors here on Glick's House of Music, Zay being one of them, that you can throw em it throw it in there and just go on a road trip you know very gentleman and and and just have some great music to listen to.
00:25:45
Speaker
ri yeah Got fill that catalog up for us. say You got to get more music out there, man. la got I just looked the other day. I was talking to Aries, my producer.
00:26:00
Speaker
I got 28 singles out. Yeah.
00:26:06
Speaker
He's like, man, it's time for an EP. And I'm like, you know, I want to Dude, I got them i got em locked and loaded, but I just want to, feel like I want a bigger following before I drop it, you know, before i jump out there and drop an EP.
00:26:19
Speaker
But I think next year I'm definitely going to one at some point. Yeah, there you go. Well, I mean, hell, just take all the singles you have and just put them into one. Yeah. You know?
00:26:32
Speaker
The job that works pretty done, you know? Yeah. ah yeah that But that seems to be, you know, talking to different artists and stuff like that, that seems to be the the trending thing to do is just drop singles.
00:26:44
Speaker
You know, you build up build up that catalog for when you are ready to do ah an EP or an album. But in the meantime, it's it's about getting traction and gaining that that following. So a lot of people are more focused on on the singles and putting them out there and then going from there, you know, and building this, you know, actually they build up some. Yeah.
00:27:05
Speaker
I feel like the singles are like the build-up for the EP to release. know
00:27:15
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. And like I said, it helps that and helps that getting in the right algorithm, getting the right ears and eyes on what you're doing, man. Because you can do so much, as you know as as you see on social media, like but like we were talking earlier. If you treat your music like you treat your tattoos.
00:27:34
Speaker
Right. Shit, throw your music on your tattoo videos. Two birds, one stone, man. yeah Yeah.
00:27:47
Speaker
I got some videos that are coming out. and Actually, a couple of them have me. I actually am in the middle of doing a documentary. It's going to be crazy.
00:27:59
Speaker
Okay. yeah and Now you got my curiosity. How much can tell about that? you tell but tell us about that We're in the middle actually doing a lot of recording. They've been going around getting different interviews. The thing is, I told my buddies, because haven't heard any of their interviews. I haven't heard nothing. so I'm not going to be able to hear it until they release it. but I think it'll give... you know cause People always ask me about my music. and like I don't think people really understand the amount of time I've done in prison. and
00:28:34
Speaker
you know, what I went to prison for and stuff like, and I feel like that's gonna give them a ah better ah better view of me. So I feel like it'll make people understand my music more once they see that.
00:28:51
Speaker
Well, yeah, they get to see a different side of you. They get to, well, not only that, but they get to know a little bit more, you know, they, like you said, they're either gonna understand your music better, but they'll also understand you as an artist and as a person, you know? Yeah.
00:29:06
Speaker
because I was shocked. The first time I had you on here, you know you you we we kind of just touched on the the prison thing for just ah just a second and or vacation. and i very i was like oh yeah I was like, oh, damn.
00:29:20
Speaker
ah Okay, I didn't know that. Not that it bothered me. I don't care. It's just like, oh, that ads but adds another level of of of intrigue or interest to you as ah as an artist and as a person because how much of that time and and whatnot inspires your music and goes into your music and and and not only after your life growing up in North Carolina as a country boy. There ain't no shame in there game. You're like, yeah, i'm ah I'm a country boy. I'm a Carolina boy through and through.
00:29:48
Speaker
don't know what to say. way yeah I'm a country I'm from Ohio. I'm from Ohio. you know it is what it is at the end of the day yeah and tell them it is what it is. I can't hide it. no It's in my talk. It's in my walk.
00:30:10
Speaker
No, that's that's cool. I definitely want to check. out They got any idea when the release of that documentary and stuff is going to be out? The thing was, it it came along with the EP talk. They're wanting to line it up and drop them both together. That'd be pretty cool. Yeah.
00:30:31
Speaker
And I got a, they got a, they have a ah marketing strategy we're putting together behind it. So ah think they're wanting to do like trying to sell so many copies hand to hand, like hand to hand interactions before we put it on the internet, you know?
Risks and Trusting the Process in Music
00:30:50
Speaker
So in a like I told them, it's another one of the things we're rolling the dice, but Hey, I'm, I'm trusting it, you know,
00:31:00
Speaker
Hopefully it works and hopefully people like it. I can't tell you the name of EP. What was ah god my I said I can't tell you the name of the EP.
00:31:12
Speaker
It is Better Late Than Never. Ah, nice. I like that. yeah All the more reason for you guys to go follow Zay so you know when you can get your copy of the, the EP and, and the documentary. I mean, sometimes, man, sometimes you just gotta, you gotta roll the dice and let the hands of fate do their thing. You know, like you said, you might not necessarily agree with what they want to do, but yeah you roll the dice and let the hands of fate do their thing. And, and, and, and if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. And if, if not, you always have the, the, uh, the internet that's going to be there to, uh,
00:31:43
Speaker
you know, that you can release on and stuff like that. I tell him he won me over with Southern Charm still to this day because, you know, like I told you on the first interview, dude, Southern Charm was my least favorite song out of all the songs I had to release.
00:31:59
Speaker
And he was like, no, this one, this one, this one. And to me, Campfire Cologne, I felt like, I was like, nah, Campfire Colon's gonna be the one. he was like, no, Southern Charm. And they're just two totally, you like both of them, hey, appreciate it.
00:32:14
Speaker
They're two totally different songs, you know? And I was just like, don't feel like that's gonna be the one. And he's like, trust me. And I went with it and Southern Charm ended up being the bigger one out of the two of them. But to me, Campfire Colon is, i think it has more of a personal meaning to me.
00:32:35
Speaker
Yeah, you can definitely tell that's that's more on a personal note, that that song. I love that song. We've weve actually played it a lot on here and and and and on other shows just because it's one of my favorite songs that you've done so far.
00:32:49
Speaker
Campfire Clone. And it's just, yeah. But yeah, you know, you just, ah you know, unfortunately or fortunately, you don't ever really know 100% which song or what video is going to pop off.
00:33:06
Speaker
you know like You could have one that, you know, you can put one song out and and they don't do anything. And, you know, and then the very next one, you get 30,000 views and ah and and in three days on it. And it was like,
Social Media and Music Promotion
00:33:20
Speaker
but exactly um So, yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's not, yeah it's one of those things, man. It's, it's, it's high risk, high reward at the end of the day when you're, when you're a,
00:33:35
Speaker
content creator or trying to use social media to to promote your you know your music or your art your tattooing whatever it is it's like you know it's either gonna bomb or it's gonna go off so yeah it's so doing and the in it the internet is so crazy they pick up on the craziest things and it's like what yeah yeah like out of all the things in the world that's what you that's what everybody likes like that's what's going on but you know hey well and and in in you know you're on tick tock so you see it you know somebody will put a lot of time and effort into some original content and it and it'll just you but then some stupid dance that 500 million other people have done
00:34:25
Speaker
okay a million views. so it's just like Exactly. This is mind-boggling. I put all this time and energy into like original content and it's nothing. And then this jack-off over here doing the same stupid dance that everybody's doing.
00:34:41
Speaker
Yeah, it's a... buddh For me, I just feel like... you know, do I really have to do this? everyone's like, dude, you got to do TikTok. You got to do this. You got to do this. You got to do this. And I'm like, I'm going through it and I'm looking at it. Even like on the dance videos, the dance challenges I got on mine, there's like, you're not taking it serious. And I'm like, I'm not. i was like I'm like, going to laugh and have fun through it.
00:35:08
Speaker
The whole thing. if they like it, they like it. If they don't, they don't. yeah but don Yeah, exactly. Whatever happens, happens at the end of the day. It's just for me, I'm like, how do I get serious about this?
00:35:20
Speaker
and yeah It's like, how do I seriously get, you know, but I mean, some people, they they take that TikTok creating stuff like serious, serious.
00:35:35
Speaker
I mean, some of them are getting paid stupid amount of money to do it. and but Yeah. It's just like, wow y'all really, y'all really out here doing this.
00:35:48
Speaker
I don't know if I can go to some of the lengths some of them go to, though. I just, you know, those those are reactors that walk up and ask people the crazy questions and go up and slap the guys, girls on the ass and shit like that. I'm like, yeah, I couldn't do that.
00:36:03
Speaker
I'm like, and fuck i' take that takes another set of balls that i don't have. because Yeah. no that rolls up
00:36:15
Speaker
I don't know how we don't hear about more of them more of them on the um the losing end of a 45 or something like that. You know what I mean? I'm sure it's a lot of them. Yeah, you you walk on me and I can't hear it.
00:36:31
Speaker
yeah yeah I'm that type of person where you walk up on me and ask me something crazy. Eh, you know, I could laugh it off, whatever. But you start putting hands on people. Now that's a whole other situation. Yeah, I couldn't. All right, no, I couldn't. That would be an automatic no for me.
00:36:49
Speaker
Yeah, no. I'm good. I'm 43. don't need to be going out there acting that ridiculous. Yeah. But who they do it.
00:37:01
Speaker
They do. It's a dude. It's a dude at the beach. And he's he's like a big influencer on TikTok. You know, nothing against the older crowd. I don't want to say old people. now The older crowd guys probably like his mid 60s.
00:37:17
Speaker
And he goes viral for going around pranking people down at the beach and stuff. And I'm like, dude, somebody's going to slap that old man's dentures out of his mouth one day. are You know, because he he does this thing where he plays it off just being like an old grandpa.
00:37:35
Speaker
But he's like seriously flirting and like, you know, he goes up to guys with their girls and like goes at them hard to see how much he can get away with being an old guy. And I'm like, dude, I'm in today's world.
00:37:51
Speaker
um' I know it ah know everybody just laugh about that. I'm like, I want to see that B-roll where ah so but some people's like, don't give a fuck about that cane, Grandpa.
00:38:03
Speaker
I don't give a fuck about the cane. You done crossed the line.
00:38:12
Speaker
and and And I think anymore it's so blatant, so obvious. You see the camera, Cruz. You're the the you know the the guy with, whether it be on the phone, like, How many people are just going randomly walk up and be serious and start flirting with your girl right in front of you and then have somebody their... It's a small group of Americans that don't do like the internet and phones and stuff.

00:42:48
Speaker
Definitely. Yeah, man. No, I'm excited for you, man. I'm excited you got the new music coming out. Are you are you doing a lot of riding writing um on your own? Are you writing with people now more? Yeah.
00:43:00
Speaker
ah I actually i do all my writing, but ah I've never sat down and actually done any writing with anyone. But I have ah a guy, Trey Fitz, up in Nashville. He does a lot of songwriting and stuff. Me and him have been talking lately. So next time I go up to Nashville, we're going to get together and go in and write some stuff. And, you know, I'm open to it. I'm not against it because I feel like you know I've heard a lot of his music and a lot of songs that he's co-written with people and I like it and i feel like it'll just bring something different to so what I'm doing. or you know
00:43:38
Speaker
um don um can't make it any worse. You know yeah only help it or just not do nothing at but you know Sometimes it's like being on a job site or or on the farm or something like that. Sometimes an extra pair of eyes or an extra pair of hands on something.
00:43:56
Speaker
you know They come at it from different angle, come up with new ideas, maybe something you didn't think about before. And I've heard his name before. I've had some other guests on here that had mentioned mentioned his name before. So apparently he does do some good things. He was a lot of writing up there in Nashville.
00:44:15
Speaker
oh Jesus Christ, Zampios. I don't want to, don't know. I don't know if I can say people's name that he writes for. I don't know how that goes sir He does a lot of it.
00:44:30
Speaker
I personally don't care. i don't know how he feels about it. You know, like, no, no, I mean like the artists. I don't know if the artists are like, oh, write my own songs. They don't want people.
00:44:42
Speaker
So I don't. ah But, yeah, he does. He does a lot of. And I don't mind giving a writer their props, you know. ah you should what i don't see nothing wrong with it.
00:44:54
Speaker
We sit down and write it together. I feel like it can't, you know, it can only be better. Yeah. And I, you know, and I, and I agree with you. I think, I think if, if you've got, you know, a co-writer or somebody or, or say, he's like, Hey man, I've listened to your stuff. And, and I, and I wrote this for you, you know, like, absolutely. Make sure you give the man his props and make sure, you know, let everybody know, Hey,
00:45:20
Speaker
So-and-so wrote this. I'm just singing it. I'm just performing it, but but but but he wrote it. Because there are some writers out there. i've've I've talked to a few people who, you they're musicians, but they're they're songwriters as well. And they're like, yeah, man, you know, um we've had friends that are in the music industry and and we get to talking about something and and I write something for them just based off of you know personal experience that they were telling me about. I gave it to them because it was written for them specifically.
00:45:50
Speaker
um i'm like hell yeah yeah what up yeah
00:45:59
Speaker
yeah definitely i don't mind you know don't mind it not at all but again dude the song or zach smith is crazy it's called et it is it is definitely nice it is It's definitely one to listen to.
00:46:27
Speaker
Are you, I'm just writing this down. so Of course, I'm going keep an eye out on it. We'll see it on the socials and stuff. But um are you doing a lot more with other, are or wanting to do a lot more with with other artists?
00:46:40
Speaker
Definitely, yeah. well feature emails some clo model and stuff like um ah I tell people, people always ask me, like what do I charge for features? And I'm like, I don't really charge for features.
00:46:51
Speaker
It's about the music for me. you know It's like, as long as it's good music and you're willing to promote it and push it, and you know if you're not just wanting to make a song just to ride around and listen to, if you're really going promote it and push it, I'm down for it.
00:47:11
Speaker
But, you know, I tell people I don't want to waste my time recording a song that you just want your own or your uncle to hear. You know, like I just I have a bigger perspective with my music, you know, it's not it's not being cocky or saying I'm above anything. It's just saying I want to keep it in a direction where I want it to go. Yeah, you you have.
00:47:39
Speaker
you have a path that you're on and you want to stay on that trajectory. You want to stay yeah on that road. You don't want to you don't want to deviate too much. Not to say there won't be any, you know, any, any detours and stuff like that. But if you can help it, obviously you don't, you don't want to. I totally get that. Don't understand that, you know, especially when you're doing a collab with somebody. I mean, yeah, they, their audience in return gets introduced to you if they're already not, but they don't know who you are and vice versa.
00:48:06
Speaker
You know, there's been a lot of, um artists that through other artists that I'm fans of that I've just that I've found because they featured on a song and it's like, ooh, I wonder what else this person does. You know what i mean? um and then And then I was like, oh, well, now I have a new ah new musician I like to listen to because I've had song with a band or a singer that I already like. So um it's it's just it just goes, it's like full circle. It's only going to benefit both sides as long as it's a mutual
00:48:40
Speaker
thing and and everybody understands what what what you want to do with it 100%. Are you still doing like when you write your songs are they are they still about you know personal stuff or are you getting more into just trying to dabble into the world to make something relatable or I shoot more for I try to make it relatable But I always, you'll find like my personal experiences in there, but I try to always keep it relatable where
00:49:21
Speaker
i wouldn't say, i don't know. I feel like the regular working down home country dude, any country dude, no matter where you're at, Midwest, up North,
00:49:34
Speaker
outwinds down south. you know I just feel like the average country boy can listen to any of my music and relate to it. Oh,
00:49:44
Speaker
yeah. Keeping country. Keeping it country.
00:49:54
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. No. Okay.
00:50:02
Speaker
ah Anyways. No, I'm the Yeah, like you said, and no bones about it. You're a country boy through and through. know doing good but The first time I came across your music, I was like, okay, didn't expect this, but I'm digging it.
00:50:18
Speaker
I'm like, yeah this is it's just not at all what I expected it. But I dig it. ah you know I became a fan instantly, ah ah you know and I'm still a fan, and and obviously.
00:50:30
Speaker
But it was just like just completely caught off guard, like, Okay, hold on a second. I think that's the thing, the shock factor. Because I tell people, I'm like, hey, I'm a music artist and I'll give them a flyer and they're looking at me like, yeah, okay.
00:50:46
Speaker
they're like, what kind music you you And I'll say, country. And they're like, what? littlell We didn't expect that. And I'm like, well, yeah, it's country.
00:50:58
Speaker
But usually they'll listen to it and she'll be like, man, we love it. yeah Right? right I mean, it's just like, okay, okay, I see see what he's doing. I see what's happening in here. but with with with your With your style of of of music and the way that, you know, like you said, you're that combination of country, Southern rock rock, you know, hip-hop and whatnot, does that allow you to get on stage with different genres or do you kind of stay in that country-wise
00:51:34
Speaker
country rap world or are you able to, you know? Man, I get on the stage with anybody.
00:51:43
Speaker
I feel, cause I feel like I have music. So if I was put in a lineup in a rap concert, you know, it's still going to be country, but I feel like I have some stuff that can fall in the lines to pass in the rap scene.
00:51:59
Speaker
it would be completely different, but I feel like it was still, you know, it was still pass in the rap lane. Yeah. It's it's not going to be your, uh,
00:52:11
Speaker
stereotypical, uh, rap or, you know, it's still going to have that, that, uh, that, that, uh, that country vibe because it's just who you are as as, a person, your personality and who you are as a person shines so much through your music.
00:52:28
Speaker
and And that's what I said, you know, without first, and I think it was, uh, I think it was certified country it was the first song I've seen of yours. And, and I was like, hold on a damn minute.
00:52:42
Speaker
And, and, and, uh, and and and And I was like, I'm digging it. let me Let me see what else he's got out there. And then i reached out to you and I got to talking to you and stuff before we did the show. And even when you did the show, I was like, oh, yeah, he's country as hell.
00:52:55
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Definitely, Caroline. Yeah. Yep, he is he is country as hell. And you can't hide it, even if you wanted to. No, I can't.
00:53:08
Speaker
Dude, I try, and everybody's like, dude, I'll talk to people on the phone, and then I'll see them face-to-face, and they're like, are you with Zay? I'm like, I'm Zay. They'll be looking around like they're waiting for some little short guy to pop around for yourself.
00:53:25
Speaker
Are you with Zay? What are you, security? Yeah, I'm like, are you with Zay?
00:53:32
Speaker

Hey, we are back. Welcome back to Glick's House of Music. We got Zay Grassley hanging out with us tonight. That was Southern Charm. Is it going to be or is it not going to be? We were talking about a few minutes ago. It's funny because um yesterday i went for a drive. I had to clear my head.
01:02:15
Speaker

01:02:23
Speaker
I definitely forgot about that one. Have you seen the official video for it?
01:02:31

What? i don't for that for For Southern Charm? and The official video is like 200-something thousand views. I don't think I've seen that. Yeah. I'll have to see you but Well, the thing is when you go to YouTube and you punch your name in, you get like three channels.
01:02:50
Speaker

01:03:43
Speaker
But then I had to get go and listen to Campfire Cologne and and, you know, Some of the other ones, Gypsy on the Run is another one that I really like. so And I was like, oh i will give me we were talking road music, and it just dawned on me that, oh, yeah, that popped on my playlist yesterday. yeah there I feel like it's going to take one of my songs so to catch, and then I feel like the rest of them are gone are going to catch on.
01:04:16
Speaker
Yeah, that's usually how it goes. It's like you hit that right sweet spot and people start listening and then they're going to... I that's how it was for me. I believe it was Certified Country and it was on Instagram. So it was just a snippet. It was just a snippet.
01:04:39
Speaker
And I was like, I got to go find the rest of this. and And I listened to it and you had some other music up there. a little Let me check um check it out And after I listened to a couple songs, I was like, fuck it, I'm hitting him up. I'm going to see if I can get it.
01:04:51
Speaker
Yeah, definitely. I'm glad you did, man. um
01:04:58

01:05:30
Speaker
All right. All right. little Halloween vibe. I can feel it. I feel it. It's definitely ah definitely a different vibe. are you Are you still...
01:05:43
Speaker
Do still have the same guy doing your videos and stuff for Are you still working with him? Yeah. I've been trying to, because everybody's like, well, not everybody. One person like, dude, don't do another video at the farm. He's like, people are, I was like, but that's where I'm at. So that's where I do my videos. You know what I mean? I'm nowhere else.
01:06:06
Speaker
If I'm not in the studio, I'm on the farm. So yeah. that's where a lot of my, my videos, my little drop mic videos and stuff, all my contents at the forum, but yeah, I'm trying to venture out to, to open up to working with different people, but it's just the video guy that I, that I started using, uh, the one that done the Southern charm. He's done all of my videos except one of them or two of them.
01:06:36
Speaker
Uh, we got to I don't know, it's like his, I don't know if it's his editing or the, what he captures with the camera. I feel like it it's a, it's a good fit.
01:06:47
Speaker
You know, I feel like he takes my words and he captures the words with what he does. And, you know, it's hard you know, don't want all the videos to look the same, but everything.
01:07:01
Speaker
you got to try different people and you got network with different geographers and i'm like yeah i'm down he's like everybody's not gonna keep that look you gotta go for something else and i'm like yeah i'm like dude i'm just looking my ways i like what i like that's why we all we all have that problem we got very complacent and we get this is comfortable this is what i know i don't want to step out of my comfort zone because It's that fear of taking a risk. You know, I mean, you like you said, you you went out all the way out to Texas to to meet that guy and and to do that, do that stuff.
01:07:35
Speaker
What happens comes out back? Yeah. You know, for four hours. You just you just spent 34, 35 hours, 36 hours on the road for four hours. Four hours. did and then it And then it's like and then you get the finished product and you're like, oh, come on. Yeah, it's not.

01:09:59
Speaker
They use, ah there's an app that they use and you can find locations on to to film videos and stuff like that. You know, you gotta pay for it or whatever, but they're like, it's not super expensive, and they they get some really cool-ass locations um to do some of their videos, and I can't remember the name of that app. I'll reach out to the guys and see if they can tell me, and I'll shoot it over to you.
01:10:23
Speaker
But it's everywhere. Like, it doesn't matter where you are. You can look at... You can jump on there, put your location in, and it gives you... It's kind of like a like Airbnb, kind of, but it's for... you know, filming locations, whether it be music videos or movies or, you know, whatever the case may be.

01:10:52
Speaker
Oh, yeah, definitely. I'll definitely check it out.
01:10:57
Speaker
wonder if I can join that as ah as a member of the media. I'd like to go to the Grammys. Tell them they suck. You're wrong.
01:11:08
Speaker
I'll go up there and pull old Kanye movie and be like, yep, I think Zay Grassley had the best album of the year. They're going to be like, who the hell is Zay Grassley? I'm like, I don't know. Yeah.
01:11:25
Speaker
Go follow him. Go listen to his music. Go listen to him. I don't know who this Zay guy is. but I don't know who the hell he is, but go check him out.
01:11:37
Speaker
yeah Hey, a click is a click, man. if he Now, you know, something like that would probably go viral and make people listen to the music along with the charges that would come along with it and everything else. I was going to say, but you're going back on vacation for her a little while. Yeah, I'm not trying to take them on vacation.
01:12:01
Speaker
If I had Kanye money, I would do it with ease. yeah Kanye money, and Kanye status, because that man can clearly do and say anything he wants. like this just People are just like, it's crazy ass Kanye at this point. They just don't care.
01:12:17
Speaker
You know, he's one of those artists I can truly say that has had stages. And it's like, what happened to the college dropout, Kanye? That's the Kanye I liked.
01:12:31
Speaker
That's the Kanye I liked. where Where did he go? like Who um hurt him during his college dropout? What happened? yeah Because after after that, dude, I don't know.
01:12:48
Speaker
And I think it was through my vacation. and When I come back from vacation, it was like, who? Crazy Kanye. It was like, yeah, I don't listen. I don't know his i don't know this guy.
01:13:01
Speaker
I don't know what happened to that man. but yeah, man, college dropout, man, that was, a man, so good. It came out of nowhere. Kanye came out of nowhere. But then crazy Kanye came out of nowhere and came out fast.
01:13:14
Speaker
College Dropout was one of those CDs you could literally just put in and let it play. Yeah. From beginning to end. Mm-hmm. Man, I agree. But, yeah, like, man, it sounded like you if you had the opportunity, sounded like you could even sit down and talk to that man and be like, what happened?
01:13:35
Speaker
Robert, he does have โ I believe he has a very high IQ also. i believe i believe he very I believe he's very smart. I think he's a lot smarter than the people he's dealing with, which makes him look absolutely crazy.
01:13:57
Speaker
I don't know if that if that's right or not. but I mean, did that that you know yeah well like Robert said, people with abnormally high IQs often have mental illnesses attached.
01:14:09
Speaker
So, I mean, Maybe that. Maybe it is the fact that he is dealing with people that are a lot less smarter than him, and maybe he's not the crazy one. Maybe he's not crazy at all.
01:14:21
Speaker
Yeah, it's a... I tell people when it comes to Kanye, I'm like, I'm fifty fifty because some things... makes some sense and some things makes absolutely no sense but it's like i'm just a i'm a consumer i don't know enough about it to know if it really makes sense or not i'm just on outside looking in and to me it sounds crazy but sometimes i'm like okay i can i get that you know i can agree with them 20 of the time
01:14:53
Speaker
Then it's like, ooh, you lost me, buddy. Where'd you go? Come back, Earth. It's like, where'd you go? yeah i get that Zoom in with the little airport thing. Come back home. It's like you back in. Yeah, no, man, I'm with you. Yeah, sometimes it's like you you get You catch glimpses of ah ah old Kanye, and it's like, hey, maybe he's not so, and you don't even get to finish the thought because then he's back on the crazy shit.
01:15:26
Speaker
You know who reminds me a lot of Kanye, but he's not a musician, the dude or Orlando Brown? Oh, yeah, yeah, from the the Disney, the Disney movie, but have you seen something Have you seen some of his interviews?
01:15:40
Speaker
He's a mess. bro was' it he wasn't Wasn't he just on vacation not too long ago or something? Yeah, he's been on a couple of vacations. See, I didn't like my first vacation, so I stopped.
01:15:51
Speaker
You had an extended vacation, so yeah. you got an ah occasion so yeah Yeah. People always ask me. I'm like, yeah, they didn't give me a break. They didn't even offer me house arrest, no base, none of that.
01:16:04
Speaker
They was like, yeah, let's sit him on down the road. Get him on down the road now. Come on. Yeah, I was like, I didn't get none of them options. I wish I would have. I would have loved to sit at home just and do nothing. I would have loved it. So much better.
01:16:18
Speaker
It would probably be a whole hell a lot more comfortable. Yeah, so much better. I was like, I didn't like nothing in there. I didn't like the channels, the food. Little night lights. None of that. Nothing in there. I'm good.
01:16:32
Speaker
Don't need to go back. That's ah I learned my lesson. I learned my lesson two hours after I was in there. Oh, man. I, you know, I have.
01:16:47
Speaker
I have spent my entire life doing everything to make, I mean, I know I've done some things that probably should have landed me on vacation, but, you know, thankfully I, you know, it wasn't, wasn't caught or anything, but I've spent a good majority of my life. I've heard enough stories. I've known enough people that have, that have gone and I'm like, you know, but yeah, I don't, I don't think that's for me.
01:17:09
Speaker
um Yeah. It's not for me. I'll, I'll, I'll,
01:17:15
Speaker
I'll stay on the ass straight and narrow. when they When they brought me my first plea deal, you got to think I'm 20 years old. I had just turned 20. Wow. My first plea deal was 25 to 35 years.
01:17:29
Speaker
So I looked at my, I'm like, I said, you know, I'm only 20. I said, how the hell you going to give me more time than I've been alive? I was like, you know I'm only 20, right? was like, what are you talking about? You can't have the right person in front of you.

01:18:49
Speaker
What the fuck? I know it's it's it's so crazy to me because you know now that I'm in my 40s, I remember being a kid, even a teenager, and it even high school, thinking that people in their 40s were old.

01:20:09
Speaker
but i get yelled at all the time. I don't think people realize how much water I actually do drink because when they see me, live, I'm usually drinking pop or on the weekends, I'm i'm drinking beer.
01:20:25
Speaker
So it's just like, this is what you, you're only getting to see me for like 12, 14 hours a week when I'm doing, wow, I put a lot of time into doing fucking podcasting. Holy shit. Probably more than 12, 14 hours at the end of the day.
01:20:42
Speaker
But Yeah, you see that, but you don't see the rest of the time during the day where, you know, I might drink three or four of these full of water or I've got my great big-ass inspirational water bottle that, you know, you're and your water intake for the day, and it's like 9 o'clock in the morning. You're doing a great job, buddy. 4 o'clock, you've almost made it there. Good job.

Oh, dude, it's... yeah Oh, my God. you know this my not oh it's it's and And I'll tell you what, now that I've gotten older and I do i do drink a lot of water in the evening times, like when I get home from work and stuff like that.
01:21:27
Speaker
So by the time I'm laying down for bed at night, you best damn believe my ass is getting up three to four times a night just to go piss. I'm like, this is stupid.
01:21:38
Speaker
So, of course, do you get mad when you have to get up and go piss? Sometimes I do because sometimes I'll wake up and I'll be yeah like in a dead-ass sleep.
01:21:48
Speaker
One of them good fucking sleeps. yeah like And I just wake up angry. I always think to myself, I'm like, am I the only person that gets mad when they have to get up out their sleep to go piss? I'll be laying there comfortable and I can't get that comfortable spot back. It's like... yeah yeah And know it's like, ah you know, by fortunately, my bathroom is right here in my bedroom. It's literally right here behind me.
01:22:14
Speaker
So i don't have that far to go. so I'm still not quite awake. But, yeah, you go back, you lay down in bed, you're like, all right, I'm going to find that sweet spot. And then you can't wait. Oh, yeah. No. And then just like, mother. want just mine so Because I have to get up, go down the hall, down three steps, and then I'm in the bathroom.

01:23:14
Speaker
No, it was when i when I was looking for a new place, it was one of the reasons why I got this condo because the bathroom was in you know in my room. So, you know, for all kinds of reasons, it's convenient to have my bathroom right there. You know?
01:23:30

Speaker
i mean, the kids come out of freaking nowhere. And yeah, he's well, you know, he's from he's from Clover, which is basically where I'm from. Gastonia Clovers, like 15 minutes away because Gastonia Gastonia is right on the South Carolina borderline.
01:25:46
Speaker
OK, yeah, I didn't. I i didn't know. Yes, that kid kind of. I remember when he first come out, he was doing the rapping thing and I wanted to throw a brick at his face. So this is like, but he's been ah he's been, so little man, Jay really blew up as a content creator.
01:26:07
Speaker
Yeah. So, I mean, he, he, you know, he done it the right way. Like he got his following from doing the, just the content, but then he switched it over to music, which he are, you know what i mean? Is he already had like close to million followers just off content.
01:26:28
Speaker
And then it, you know, turning it to music was a ah good strategy. i yeah you know and i and you know I know he did the rap thing at first, and and and but i'm I'm digging his switch to country.
01:26:39
Speaker
i mean yeah yeah the town He's not a bad artist. he's these he is from club Being from Clover, I'm like, okay, the country fits some more. yes c Clover's country. It's like suburban country, but it's country.
01:26:54
Speaker
it's we got We got some towns like that around here. I know exactly what you're talking about. You You're Gaston. He's a little hood country. Clover's like suburban country.

It's gotten, gotten bigger, but you still have that small town feel to it. You know what I mean? It's like, yeah, it's probably, you'd probably call it a like country, so suburban country around here.
01:27:52

Uh, To a certain degree. So I totally understand that. I think it's funny that, you know, like the trail ride and the trail ride music and stuff is really just now blowing up. But, you know, here where I'm from, dude they've been having trail ride forever.
01:28:11
Speaker
You know, long as I can think of. And it's like now to see it kind of going mainstream and people gravitating to when it's like, damn, we've been in our own little world, you know, because it's it's a big thing here.
01:28:27
Speaker
You know, the the quarter horse races and, you know, just trail rides and it's like, that's what, that's a weekend, you know, maybe two, three nights out of the week. you can go Shelby, you can go to Clover, you can go to Oak Ridge, you can go Kings Mountain, you can you know, you can find a trail ride anywhere.

01:38:22
Speaker
ah like I liked his stuff, but when he came to up North, I think I just gravitated more to Beak. Yeah, I couldn't. I mean, it's not that I didn't like Biggie. I just couldn't get into him.
01:38:33
Speaker
um I really liked a lot of the West Coast rap. Dre and Ice Cube and Pac and even the game. I was a Snoop Dogg fanatic. went Oh, I love Snoop Dogg. Still love Snoop Dogg. Still love Snoop Dogg, man. When I was a kid, rapping Snoop Dogg was the only thing I could remotely get away with, with like slipping in a cuss word. Yeah.
01:38:58
Speaker
Well, for me, ah white guy from Podunk, Ohio, driving my big jacked up truck as a teenager, rolling through Podunk, Ohio, where I grew up, listening to to fucking Snoop or Pock. I'd be like, no fuck.
01:39:14
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. I love it. What the fuck is happening there? Yeah. it then Then the next day would come through with like, Limp Bizkit, Corn, or Slipknot, or whatever. Like, there's something serious on that boy.
01:39:29
Speaker
Yeah. Then when Fred Durst blew up, I went to the same, like, he went to Hunter Huss, the same high school I went to. But he like he's way older than me. But ain't going to say way older, but he's older than me. But, um... ain't going to say way older, but he's older than me. But, um...
01:39:47

01:47:02
Speaker
Yeah, there's there's been a few people that, ah you know, I've talked about, I've brought up that, you know, if we ever if this if this thing ever blows up or ever gets, you know, we ever get super famous for this. I imagine Joe Rogan being one of them is going to kick the hell out of me because I talk a lot of shit about Joe Rogan.
01:47:17
Speaker
Because I'm not fan of the Joe Rogan podcast. I love Joe Rogan as a commentator on the UFC. ah His comedy was trash. i'm not a fan of his podcast. joe I talk so much shit. yeah and See, I put Joe in that
Podcasting and Media Influences
01:47:30
Speaker
bucket with Kanye. There's a few people I put in that bucket with Kanye. Yeah, 100%.
01:47:33
Speaker
i guess see yeah one hundred percent like a fifty fifty well nine ring i say fifty It's like a thing. at them. yeah eighty percent of the time i can agree with but the other top i'm just like laughing at that's Joe, what are you doing, man?
01:47:48
Speaker
but He is crazy. He's so goddamn intense. I loved him when he commentated on UFC and when he was part doing that stuff. I don't believe those, like when it gets to that level where he's at, I don't think it even, I don't even think his opinion is included.
01:48:08
Speaker
I think it's all about ratings. Oh, yeah. Whatever he can say to get the ratings. and And it's like that with a lot of people. I mean, you go all the way back to Howard Stern.
01:48:22
Speaker
Howard Stern was like that. Like, what what what is it? I mean, he's the original shock chopper. and Howard Stern was like, dude, Howard Stern was like porn for me when I was a kid.
01:48:34
Speaker
yeah better was but not Not Howard Stern, but his show, the live show he used to do. I was like, For people that stayed up after 12 o'clock that are my age range that know what he showed on that show.
01:48:52
Speaker
bro That was like, okay, I'm staying up tonight. Howard Stern's coming on at 1 a.m. Yeah, Howard Stern's on it you know ah yeah whatever, 1 a.m., 2 a.m., and he's got six porn stars in the studio with him tonight.
01:49:06
Speaker
Guess who's not going to bed? Yeah, staying up all night. Because at some point in time, They're getting naked. and And you know what's crazy now that I think about it as I'm older? As a kid, I hated it.
01:49:20
Speaker
Because if you think about it, he will go through a whole show, and then the last 15, 20 minutes is when the clothes will come off. It's like he will make me go through the whole show and get the last part and it'll get good. Yeah.
01:49:35
Speaker
yeah Yeah, the whole day. But you knew it was coming, so you stuck around. and And, you know, I was never a huge Howard Stern fan, but I did enjoy his, you know, I did enjoy his show. I mean, it was a fun show and his impact that he had and the cast of characters that he had.
01:49:53
Speaker
i mean, it was it was entertaining, but. You know, i thought we shoot beetlejuice i thought he was fake for the longest time. I didn't know that was a real person that he had on there. Oh, yeah. Remember the little short? the bill Oh, that's a cozy-looking dude.
01:50:09
Speaker
Yeah. Dude, I thought that was fake. I thought it was like a fake person. Oh, for real? A real person. i was like, holy shit, that's where he's real? That is a...
01:50:23
Speaker
that is ah that is a that is a um I don't want to speak too ill of him, but that is a nightmare-inducing-looking individual. Yeah.
01:50:34
Speaker
Bro, that's one of those. What did they say? Like, that's a face only the mother. Only the mama could be like, boy. I don't even know, man. Yeah, don't know. No, if i and I don't know if his mama was.
01:50:49
Speaker
The mama could be old. I know the daddy probably definitely couldn't, but I know the mama probably could. The daddy was like, can't we just throw him in a dumpster or something somewhere? The fuck? What's the daddy like? Hell no, you cheated.
01:51:06
Speaker
You cheated. You cheated. That ain't my kid. He don't even look like me. You
01:51:17
Speaker
That's one of those things. good as ah As a dad, you know you you you find out you're going to have a son and you get all these all these thoughts in your head like, oh, he's going to play
Sports Debates and Loyalties
01:51:26
Speaker
sports. He's going to do this. He's going to And then that comes out. It's just like, fuck my life.
01:51:32
Speaker
What the hell? Bro. yeah that way Howard was... yeah but yes Sometimes you get so big and like you said, it's it's just...
01:51:43
Speaker
what is the most shocking thing I can say or whatll do do at this point? yep What is the most craziest thing I can say for clicks? Yeah. and And that's where it's at now.
01:51:59
Speaker
That is exactly where it's at. It's not even... I listen to some, like when you see podcasters and they're having a debate about something, listen to some and I'm like, are either i like are they are either one of them even listening what the fuck? I'm like, are they you're talking about? Like...
01:52:19
Speaker
Because I'm sitting here like, what? What the fuck is happening here? Are y'all listening to what you're saying? yeah but but One guy is debating the the best brands of crowns, and then the other guy is debating the best bread, and they're like getting mad at each other, but they're both having two separate conversations.
01:52:40
Speaker
Like, the fuck? you You know the one that gets me? The LeBron and Jordan thing. And I'm like, I'm like, dude, they're not even โ why does it matter? Jordan was the best of his era.
01:52:56
Speaker
LeBron's going to be the best of his era. And next is going to be the best. I'm like, well, why does it โ Why does it matter? We still have the debate. Like the debate is still so strong to this. And that's been my biggest argument at the end of the day. That's been my biggest argument is could LeBron play to the caliber that LeBron plays in Michael Jordan's era and vice versa?
01:53:19
Speaker
Could Michael Jordan play to the caliber that Michael Jordan played in LeBron's era? This is my thing. And see, you dont this i'm anybody, I'm not racist, but this is that it is what it is.
01:53:31
Speaker
You don't have to sit in black barbershops and hear this. This is like ongoing. but And it's like, this is the thing.
01:53:43
Speaker
It was I feel basketball was a thousand percent more physical in Michael Jordan's era than now. So I feel like, yes, Michael Jordan could. And I feel like he would dominate in this era.
01:53:58
Speaker
That same Jordan, the same age, same youth. If you put him in here now, he would kill. and and And I'm not the biggest Michael Jordan fan, mainly because I hate the Chicago Bulls because I'm a Cleveland Cavaliers fan.
01:54:15
Speaker
I've never been a Jordan fan, believe it or not. What's that? I've never been a Jordan fan, believe it or not. I don't i don't like the Chicago Bulls because I was a Cleveland Cavaliers fan, and every goddamn year in the playoffs, fucking Cleveland would come across that goddamn buzzsaw known as the Chicago Bulls and just โ Mark Price and they would just shit on our season completely.
01:54:39
Speaker
but Mark Price was a crazy thing. Yeah, Mark Price was um was a bad man. But I also say this about Michael Jordan. Would Michael Jordan have been as good as Michael Jordan was if you put him on any team back in the day?
01:54:51
Speaker
because No. I don't think his Scotty Pippen and Sexton and even Rodman's crazy ass, when he came on, I don't think the supporting cast of characters get the credit that they deserve for making Jordan as good as he was. yeah If you would have took Michael Jordan and put him โ On any other team, it wouldn't ah he would have still been Jordan, but it wouldn't have been that Jordan everybody knows.
01:55:23
Speaker
Exactly. He would have been Jordan, but you got to think, jordan the Jordan everybody knows of, it come along with Tony Kukoc.
01:55:35
Speaker
Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant. Like, you know, without them, because he had a team that allowed him to have the spotlight.
01:55:46
Speaker
Yeah. Well, not only allowed him, but they gave him. They gave him. You could not have asked for a betting a better supporting cast on a basketball team. And still to this day, when you listen to interviews, they're both like, man, we wanted him to take the last shot.
01:56:03
Speaker
We wanted him to do. You can't find that in a whole team. Exactly. and and and and And you're going to have the players that are going to, you know, be able to play up to a certain caliber.
01:56:15
Speaker
You know you don't have to be on the same caliber of Jordan, but you do have to be a certain caliber ah on that team to to allow him to. do what he does, and to have that success as a team. It wasn't all Jordan, but, you know, he was that focal point.
01:56:30
Speaker
And that's why said you put him on any other team in the NBA in that time frame, he's not getting six rings. no he would He would have been Jordan, but he wouldn't have been that spotlight clutch winning.
01:56:43
Speaker
I mean, you got to think.
01:56:47
Speaker
You give anybody 1,000 shots a game, of course they're going to hit 100. Yeah. ah question Of course they're going to hit 50. ah You know what I mean? I mean, I'm pretty confident. If you if you let me shoot 1,000 baskets, I'm going to get at least 100 of them. 50 is all I need, a game? Oh, yeah, I got that. 1,000 times? Yeah, I got it.
01:57:13
Speaker
Yeah, I'm pretty sure. But my my favorite players were Shaquille O'Neal and Allen Overson. I did love me some Shaq. Still love me some Shaq to this day. Shaq is my guy.
01:57:26
Speaker
as As a person, ah you know, he was a great basketball player, you know. Shaq is my guy. As a person, I just fucking love the guy. You know, he's one of a kind at the end of the day.
01:57:38
Speaker
I was a big Jason Kidd fan, um obviously Mark Price. I liked ah Jason Williams. Yeah. I still have a kid jersey in my closet. I feel like Jason Williams, he I don't think he stayed in the NBA long enough. Or I don't and don't know exactly what happened to him. But when he came the end dude, he was, as point guards, he was killing it.
01:58:05
Speaker
Wasn't it an AI that kicked that fan's ass in Indiana? yeah I think I like Iverson because Iverson was country and he had that hood side to it. It is every related.

01:59:05
Speaker
yeah I don't watch a lot of basketball these days, man. i can't I still love my Cleveland Cavaliers. you know I still root for them. and I'll watch some games here and there. but yeah I watch the highlights. you know I keep track of what they're doing.
01:59:20
Speaker
It's so different now. Yeah, I don't know any of the players now. And I haven' i haven't watched a basketball game, God, in years. But I'll look at highlights, just, you know what I mean, to see, like, the dunk contest and stuff. I'll go back and look at the highlights. Yeah, like the old side break. But just watching a game, i don't โ I'm the same way with football.
01:59:43
Speaker
Like, ah I like it. I don't know the players, but I'll go look at the highlights from the games. All right. And I get a little crazy when it comes to football. do โ ill I may not just sit down and watch an entire game, but i like like this Sunday, i'm I'm a Browns fan. I'm i'm an Ohio boy.
02:00:00
Speaker
I'm a Cleveland Browns fan. I was a Brady guy. After Brady left, I lost. Oh, yeah. I've been a Tom Brady guy since college. I'm a Michigan fan.
02:00:12
Speaker
so i was like i' a go He played the Patriots for so long because I hated Belichick and I hate the Patriots. But I still have my ah my Michigan Tom Brady jersey and my and I still wear it all the time. but no but yeah Sunday I had the Browns game on and I literally had it on in my TV in my bedroom.
02:00:30
Speaker
I had it on my TV in the living room and I was doing things so I also had it on my tablet. because i take my but know here's where you're Here you go. is there Yeah, and it was like wasn't like I was locked in watching it. I was just kind of listening to it. It was background noise.
02:00:47
Speaker
and know i could But I do the fantasy football thing. So I'm like that with all the other games. I just throw them on, and I might watch them a little bit here and there and then do other things, do them scroll on my phone while the game is on in the background or whatever.
02:01:01
Speaker
but ah But I get pretty big into college football and the NFL, and I know the players. and Well, you like the college? I'm a Michigan fan. I'm a diehard Michigan fan. See, I'm bulldog.
02:01:13
Speaker
Ah, you guys got lucky as fuck Saturday. Oh, come on. No luck. Good game. That was a great game. That was one game that I watched. I watched that bitch start to finish because Tennessee ain't no joke, man. They've been coming alive the last couple years. That was a ah great fucking game. I tell everybody, everybody's like, good luck. And I'm like, no, no, no, no. no It ain't no good luck.
02:01:36
Speaker
The winner of the game is supposed to win the game. Yeah. That's all it is. That's all it is. No luck. No luck. No, it's that was a great game Saturday. That was one that I was locked in on because, oh yeah well, that one and then the Georgia Tech-Clemson game, I was locked in on that one earlier in the day because that was, I did not think game was going to go the way it went.
02:02:00
Speaker
I would say Clemson will probably be my second. It will be a mix between Clemson and Gamecocks will be second, third. If I had a team to run with, I don't like Tar Heel anything.
02:02:13
Speaker
I don't like nothing Carolina Tar Heel. I'm good. I'm out the window. When first moved to Charleston, I had this this goofy ass dude who was like, you ain't going to having that Big Ten shit around here. You got to pick one of the teams from South Carolina. And I was like, and I was already following South Carolina Gamecocks because of their baseball program.
02:02:35
Speaker
i like I like baseball. So I was already following their program because of baseball. And was like, oh, I don't know. but Who's your team, jackass? He's like, I'm a Clemson fan. I said, well, I'm going to support the Gamecocks.
02:02:46
Speaker
wow Why? Because you're stupid. and so yeah now Basketball, college basketball, I'm diehard Duke fan. I'm Duke all day long.
02:02:58
Speaker
that's the That's the one thing I do keep up with is the college basketball with Duke. But outside of that, I'm just not really. I'm Michigan across the board for all sports. I do like Kentucky basketball. I grew up liking Kentucky basketball. I like Kentucky. You know, do you know you have you have their you have these teams in college basketball that two you either love them or you hate them.
02:03:22
Speaker
Kentucky, Duke, Connecticut, North Carolina. You know, Rutgers has even come around in basketball. Rutgers, they've picked up a lot. but Yeah.
02:03:34
Speaker
I remember growing up, you never heard of them. Yeah. I've always watched Duke and Kentucky. And then, of course, I'm a Michigan guy through and through. It's always hard. between When Duke and Kentucky play, it's always hard.
02:03:46
Speaker
Because I'm a diehard Duke fan, but I love Kentucky, and I always know that's going be a match. Yeah. Like, no matter what talent Duke gets, it's like Kentucky always matches it.
02:04:02
Speaker
Mm-hmm. year for year is like they always match. Yeah, exactly. You know, yeah it's it's, it's, it's, you have matchups in all sports that, you know, even if they're having an off season, it's going to be a great matchup.
02:04:18
Speaker
They're going to show up for that game. e They're going to show up and show out. ah yeah So yeah, that's, I get into sports. I do love me some sports.
02:04:30
Speaker
It's like sports and music on the same wave went wavelength for me.
Passion for Sports and Music
02:04:34
Speaker
You I'm all about the music, but give me some football, hockey, ah you all y like ah basketball. basketball. I mean, i kind of fell off on baseball, too, but God, it is so hard to watch baseball. it's great Dude, I like hockey just to watch the highlights of the fights. It's so crazy.
02:04:50
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I think โ I can watch a hockey game on TV because it's nonstop. It's so fast-paced. takes 10 minutes for one batter in baseball to have an at-bat. It's just Jesus Christ. You're killing me. I go old man. If I want to watch a baseball game, I'll listen to it on the radio.
02:05:16
Speaker
i can ill listen to ah I'll listen to a game one on the radio. I'll listen to a game on the radio in a heartbeat. I'll sit there and I'll listen to all nine innings. I fall asleep trying to watch a baseball game.
02:05:26
Speaker
Oh, yeah. It's like I treat baseball and NASCAR the same. And I haven't really watched NASCAR the last couple years. No. But i would I would watch like a NASCAR I can do. But I only do the last 10 to 5 laps is when I really lock in.
02:05:46
Speaker
Anything before the last 5 or 10 laps is just drinking time. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah i'll like I said, I treat baseball and NASCAR the same. I'll watch baseball. I might watch an inning.
02:05:57
Speaker
And then I'll come back like four or five innings later and watch NASCAR. I'll watch, you know, depending upon the track. You know, if it's a short track, I might watch 10, 15 laps or whatever, and then I wander off.
02:06:09
Speaker
And then I'll come back later and I'll watch a few more laps. and But once you get down to the last, like, 5, 10 laps, like you said, I'm um um locked in. But I haven't really watched NASCAR in the last few years. I just, I don't know, I kind of fell off on it.
02:06:23
Speaker
I don't keep up with the drivers like I used to because i was, of course, being from Carolina, I was petty and then earned hard. And then it went to junior.
02:06:36
Speaker
But now i just do that. I can hear it's a race and I'll watch the last five laps and be excited as hell for whoever wins. Like, I don't even know who's racing. It's just, that isn my mate you know I mean? Yeah. is is right there.
02:06:54
Speaker
concord is forty five minutes up road so the race truck is right Yeah, back of the day, man, would follow all the drivers. I was an Earnhardt fan and then a junior fan. you know You had Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson and Smoke a and the Pippies and the Wallaces. and you You knew all the drivers, man.
02:07:14
Speaker
and And now it's like I can name one driver right off the top of my head, and that's Bubba Wallace just because he's been in the news for some shit. And then I think he just won the most.
02:07:26
Speaker
Yeah, but bullshit. and I think he just won a race not too long ago, and everybody was pissed off about that. I'm like, apparently we don't like Bubba Wallace in NASCAR. He's the new Jeff Gordon. I'm taking it. I don't know what's going on. maybe and gloom bubblebble wallac man I'm to have to get ready to jump off here. This phone ain't stopping. I was just looking at the time and I was thinking the same thing. We're a little over the two hour mark.
