00:07:41
Speaker
Absolutely. Appreciate you being here. Taking a little bit of time out of your, uh, out of your Tuesday evening to, uh, come hang out and, uh, whatnot. No place I've run. Hey, appreciate that. I'm still, I'm still a mess over here. You're going to have to bold i'm gonna i apologize. You're going to have to excuse me. I am a mess tonight. Sounds like you need a beer. Yeah.
00:08:09
Speaker
Typically, I don't drink on school nights, but I think one is in order. I have been going since six o'clock this morning. Anyways, if you don't mind me asking, I'm always curious, where are you located at? So I'm up in Northeast Pennsylvania, originally from Western New York area. That's where my family's from. We moved down here when I was just a wee little baby and I've been growing up down here ever since.
00:08:39
Speaker
Nice. Nice. My fiance is from Eastern in Pennsylvania. All right. All right. Whereabouts? What town? She's from Grove City, like Mercer County area. She's right across the board. Yeah, she's Western. Yeah, not Eastern, Western. I always do that. I do that every time. Yeah. Western PA. Yeah. She's east of you, west of me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
00:09:05
Speaker
Um, yeah, she, uh, yeah, she grew up right across. I'm from Ohio. I'm in Ohio. I'm in central Ohio. Uh, but, uh, nothing, nothing, nothing too crazy here about the same NPA. They look the same when each. Yeah. Yeah. The only difference is we got some mountain ranges and you guys got some flat fields. I was just out there on a motorcycle. like I took a trip from here to Michigan and back and down through Ohio. And it was just, you know, long and flat through Ohio.
00:09:35
Speaker
Yeah, especially the north, the northern part of Ohio, once you get like down central Ohio, like southern Ohio, you start getting southern in Ohio, you start to get closed down in edit it to the Appalachian country. You know, you got to be careful down through there sometimes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. We have we share a border with Kentucky and and West Virginia. So what's going on, Chief? What's going on, brother?
00:10:05
Speaker
um Cool, man. That's that's that's awesome. So are you are you a city kid or or a country kid? you No, man. Yeah, i grew up ah I grew up out in the country. I grew up on a farm. The farm didn't wasn't really wasn't really operating. There was a couple of horses and some farmers cutting the fields, leasing the fields out and stuff like that. But no, I grew up where if I could be in the woods all day, ah that's that's where I was at.
00:10:32
Speaker
the The city, I'm getting better at being in the cities and stuff like that. Just with my job, I travel a lot. So yeah um I have worked down in the city and I won't be doing that again anytime soon. But I am not a fan.
Musical Influences and Local Musicians
00:10:48
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, it's all right. But like New York City, there's like, like today, there's no lines on the roads out there. It's like today, it's a two lane road. Tomorrow is a three lane road.
00:10:58
Speaker
And I mean, I i had a 53 footer take the mirror off my truck when I was sitting there. I was like, well, I don't even know this was a lane. You know what I mean? But you got to, uh, you got to push your way through the city or else you'll get eaten up. Yeah. I've been to, uh, been up to New York a couple of times. Um, I always say nice to visit, but I, I don't know how, I don't know how people live there. Hey, it's, Hey, it's, it's stupid expensive in New York. The taxes are are insane, but it's just stupid expensive.
00:11:28
Speaker
But I just don't, I don't, I can't do the hustle and bustle. You know, like I, I work, I work downtown Columbus and I hate it. I mean, I love the area that I'm in, you know, where, where, where I'm located at for work. Um, I can't wait until a hockey season because I'm, I'm a huge blue jackets fan and I'm right across the street from the arena. So, you know, I got free parking if I go to hockey games, but I hate the drive, the drive. I was just talking to my fiance about that today. I was like,
00:11:57
Speaker
I really um get to the point where I can't, I can't, I don't want to do this drive anymore. Like I wouldn't mind the hour drive to work if it was like back roads, country roads, you know, ah you know, it's just, but yeah, it's just the freeways are insane here. Um, and it's very rushed in New York. I think that's what I don't like. I'm from the country and I was born and raised in the middle of Podunk nowhere. yeah And, you know, i just yeah I don't like the hustle and bustle. I don't like,
00:12:25
Speaker
you know, with the crowdedness and everything else. And it's just just too much going on. it's It's too busy for me. I'm more even yeah like, I'm just slow paced, nonchalant. Just let me do my thing. Yeah. Yeah. yeah leave Leave me alone. I don't, want I don't need, I don't want my neighbors knowing what I'm doing. You know what I mean? e But and even now, like, you know, I live in a, it's considered a city, but um I've been here pretty much my whole life and it has grown up, but it's still, even though it's gotten bigger,
00:12:55
Speaker
and whatnot, it still has a small town feel to it. Yeah. So it's like, yeah, it's, it's a city, but it's not, you know? Yeah. That's how it kind of was when I lived out on Long Island. I lived out there for a couple months and, uh, it was, uh, John, it was the same thing. You know what I mean? Uh,
00:13:15
Speaker
Kind of like, it still had a small town feel, you know, it was, it was extremely built up. It was kind of a blue collar fisherman's town. And then I was staying in and, uh, you know, it was just like any other place you walk into the bar every night after work. There's the same, you know, after work, cruise it. And that was, that was kind of cool. And we lucked out to get into work. We had to go out the Island and coming home and went towards the city. So usually a traffic pattern out there is city out the Island in the morning. Yeah.
00:13:43
Speaker
Or I'm sorry, into the city in the morning and back out on the island in the afternoon. And and I had it backwards. So I was only 20 minutes. I was a guaranteed 20 minutes, you know, to inform. I enjoyed my stay out there. I really did. I had ah i a really cool roommate. So um and really good landlords. They were they would bring us there. They were Spanish and they would cook. They would have family dinner every Sunday. And I mean, oh, 30 of them packed in this little house below us. We were in the upstairs. And what's up, Benny? And Uh, they would bring us a, they would bring us each a plate of food, like yeah down home, good Spanish food. Oh yeah. i use Years and years ago, almost a lifetime ago. Um, I used to work security.
00:14:31
Speaker
And I was at an apartment complex and we used to joke around. This was a massive apartment complex, but we called the front half little Mexico because there was like 12 buildings and it was all, uh, Mexican families that lived there. They, they occupied every building and they were great. They looked out for us, you know, because yeah it was, it was in a rough, it was in a rough part of town and whatnot like that. But every afternoon when we'd come in for our shift, here we come, the, uh, aunt you know, the aunts and the the grandmas and whatever, we're bringing lunch to us. And then in the evening, we worked that weird second shift, like schedule where we came in at like one, but we didn't get off until 11, 12 o'clock at night. But then every night for dinner, they'd come over to our office
Concert Preferences and Experiences
00:15:16
Speaker
and bring us these massive plates. And it's just like, we're going to get fat working here. And I yeah but you can't beat that return it down. It was delicious, man. I definitely know what that's like.
00:15:28
Speaker
That was the one regret about losing that job was like, man, who am I going to get good food like this every day? Yeah. There's definitely perks to being in those, you know, urban areas, man. There's a lot of good food down there. A lot of good food. You know, and when you live out here, you, you got to travel a little bit to get some, some decent food. Yeah. No, you see, that's the, you know, that's what yeah we, we still live in a real blue collar. It's a blue collar city. It's still, like I said, small town feel, but it's blown up. So, you know,
00:15:58
Speaker
We're tucked away off the main trail or the main road. I guess you could say where we're at, but I'm three minutes away from Walmart, you know, yeah two or three minutes away from like six different restaurants to choose from. I could go to the other side of town, which is 10, five, 10 minutes away. And there's another Walmart and a bunch of restaurants and steak houses and stuff like that. But, you know, still has that small enough town feel where it's like, okay, I'll probably just keep my my butt here until I buy a house out in the middle of nowhere somewhere. right Yeah. where Where I grew up, where you know, where I'm at now, I could be like 10 minutes, 12 minutes. I get to a Walmart where I grew up out there. It was like 10 minutes. Just got me another extra 10 minutes to get to Walmart. yeah I was, I was a solid 20 way. Yeah. That's, that's how it was back home where I grew up. And it was, I mean, we were half hour, 45 minutes from town. I mean, we didn't have,
00:16:52
Speaker
It was great when we were growing up and we were being little heathens and, you know, having bonfires and parties and stuff like that because we didn't have any local PD. Right. And unless somebody was.
00:17:03
Speaker
dead dying or committing a major crime. Sheriff's deputies didn't ever come out. So it was just like, you know, we were far enough out that nobody really bothered us. And it's not like we were doing anything terrible. It's the
Songwriting Process and Industry Networking
00:17:15
Speaker
one normal teenager things, you know, bonfires, drinking, riding our four wheelers and dirt bikes and stuff like that. But yeah, we just, nobody bothered us because we were so far away from everything at the end of the day. So yeah. Yeah. That's where it's at, man. That's where it's at. Um,
00:17:33
Speaker
I got you as a singer, but we're not going to talk anything about his music at all. no we're' going to talk about We're just going to talk about small, small town living and growing up in the Midwest. It's all part of it. though yeah that i was I was going to ask you, you know, we're talking about being from small towns and myself, personally, I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket to save my life. And I've had a guitar for about 20 years and I can't play a single note on it. So I am not musically inclined. And thank God my kids haven't don't don't have that. But both my daughters are, were in the marching when my oldest one was in the marching band, my middle daughter, she's in the marching band, she's in choir. My son, I
00:18:14
Speaker
I don't even think he realizes he's on planet Earth earth most days. So yeah know he's 11. He's happy. He doesn't care about life. But ah's you hope that that's why I do this. as I'm a hell of a talker. But I do love music. And and and growing up, especially like growing up in the country and growing up in rural settings, or did that did that have a heavy influence on on your music style today or or your influences?
00:18:42
Speaker
Yeah, I would definitely say, I would definitely say it did. You know what I mean? Like I said, I grew up where, you know, a farmer, a farmer would come in and lease these fields. And I just thought he was the coolest guy showing up on this big giant tractor to cut the fields down and everything. And I liked the way he dressed. And then, you know, you see the, see the guys on TV. I remember Alan Jackson doing the the Ford commercials, built Ford tough and stuff like that. yeah And, uh, yeah, I'm like that.
00:19:04
Speaker
That guy's cool, man. Um, so yeah, I would say it definitely, uh, kind of shaped that, but I will say I'm pretty sure my first musical influence was, uh, Billy Joel. That was believed or not. Hashtag. Fuck you, Billy Joel. Yeah, right. I i i actually have a ah huge fan of Billy Joel's music, but I also have a ah hatred for Billy Joel because we were live one night and I was on Twitch and I was playing Billy Joel and I got pulled off the Twitch for copyright infringement. Oh, yeah, he's tough. with that stuff All the music I played that whole night, it was Billy Joel that got me and I was like, you son of a bitch.
00:19:46
Speaker
Billy Joel is a great musician and a great artist. Were you, and like most of us growing up, you know, we're, we're influenced as far as music by what our parents listened to or, or, um, you know, grandparents or, or, you know, siblings, if you had older siblings or whatever, um, what kind of music are obviously, youre you know, you're a country fan, but is there anything else that you like that, that kind of influences your style or whatever? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, music, you know, blink one 82, that was like,
00:20:20
Speaker
soundtrack of high school years for me. Like I said, I started with Billy Joel on us because somehow I got my hands on a greatest hits tape. And I had it going and then my sisters hand me down stereo I had. So I knew every word to those songs. um And then, you know, Eagles, things like that. I'm pretty sure my dad wore that both sides of that tape out in his Jeep. And I mean, man, I listened to a lot of I listened to a lot of rock heavy metal. I mean,
00:20:51
Speaker
I'll listen to rap. I like a lot of rap. I like the metal rap mix. I like that kind of stuff. um Country music's way easier to play. I can say taking the easy way out. I don't know.
00:21:09
Speaker
yeah definitely not definite yeah I love it all. and i mean I try to cover a lot of it. You know what I mean? When I play out, uh, you know, I'll start off slow and you know, normal kind of music and and I'll do a couple of mashups here and there. I like to throw a little Afro man. I like to throw in some Steve Miller band. Oh, even on my Instagram there, I covered a blink one 82, uh, Dan. go say I seen, I seen that on your Instagram. That was, that was a pretty cool cover. I liked that.
00:21:39
Speaker
Yeah, Alexandra Kay was, she she covered it like that. So mine was kind of a cover of a cover. I can't take credit for that. But ah yeah, man, I just love all kinds of music. Yeah. and i'm the so i listen this I listen to everything. That's a cool ass fucking name, by the way, Scott Rod. Yeah. I mean, you sound like you should be in a certain industry, but Sorry Scott, I don't know you but hey, I just call it as I see it. Yeah, Jesus is a good friend of mine He's a he's a drummer DJ, you know, he does a little bit of everything He said he got a chance to meet Travis Barker, which again Oh, but uh, yeah, I listened to it I listened to literally everything You know, I could go from
00:22:30
Speaker
Tupac to Spice Girls, Garth Brooks, whatever. I love it all. I love music. And it's always something that I'm always curious about with the artists that I get the chance to sit down and talk to is their favorite artists and to see who influences them. And then to hear a guy like Blink-182 was the soundtrack to your life in high school. And here you are doing country music, which is polar opposite.
00:23:00
Speaker
Yeah. i mean you think what I mean, it's all, it's all music. It's just a matter of kind of what chords are you going to play? You know, like some 41 green day too. Yeah. Uh, both, both bands. I really enjoy it. That's the thing, man. it Music, music is like a universal language and it's, um, it's just like, what makes you feel good? What, you know, you know, for me personally, I mean, music has gotten me through a lot of stuff. Um,
00:23:30
Speaker
good times, bad times, in between times, you know, hanging out with my friends, having a good time. Um, and that's, you know, the one that's where part of this idea during the show came from was, you know, I didn't want to be like, Oh, I want to, I want to interview heavy hitters. Like I want to get Garth Brooks on here and you know, Billy Joel and, you know, like I want to spotlight the up and coming artists and you guys who are playing in the local, uh, you know, tap houses or, car you know, county fairs and stuff like that. If you have county fairs in the area, I understand some people don't know what a county fair is. so playing our next weekend Nice.
Live Performances and Audience Interaction
00:24:11
Speaker
um Which is cool because those are the those are the those are the people that I enjoy going to see, you know, I'll go to like a hole in a wall bar and and see somebody and be like, wow, I like these guys where I like this person. And I'll look them up on social media and be like, all right, where are they going to be at next? That's local or, or whatever. So I can go see them again. I used to live in Charleston, South Carolina. And, uh, there was, um, an Irish pub there and they had these two guys. They had only been in the States for, I don't know, five, six, seven years, something like that. And they played there multiple times a week.
00:24:49
Speaker
And they did everything. They would do the the old school Irish you know folk songs and whatever. But then they would cover country songs and rock songs. But they had that yeah thick Irish accent. It was just two guys with guitars. And I'd be up there every night they play, just to go listen to them play. um And it's really cool because I don't want to say that some artists, well, actually, it is. It's true. Some artists get so big that It's almost like, yeah, I'm here to collect a paycheck where you guys, you still have, I'm not saying all big artists don't have passion anymore, but you guys still have that passion and you're into it and you're fun and you, you want to get the crowd interactive and and you you know, you want to have a good time. And that's what I'm about, man. I want to listen to music and have a good time. Yeah, for sure. For sure. I mean, we we don't go to concerts that often, you know what I mean? But like, uh, we're actually going out to a concert this weekend. Um,
00:25:45
Speaker
like Treaty Oak Revival and Co-Wetzel, you know what I mean? They're kind of, they're getting mainstream, you know what I mean? They're getting mainstream, but they're still, you know, they're a rowdy group of guys and it should be a good show. It should be a good show. But you know, you see this stuff about Morgan Wallen and like all these, you know, all these, uh, you know, top tier guys and they are, they're getting burned out. I mean, they're, they're, they're playing, you know, 320 shows a year.
00:26:12
Speaker
e That's ridiculous. And then God forbid they got to cancel one because they get sick or or they need vocal rest and that these people crucify them. You know what I mean? There's, you start out, you start out doing this for yourself. And, uh, you know, when I was, I had a, we had a little trio going there for, for, uh, several years, uh, while back and, you know, they're still my best friends today, but it's just, it got to a point where we're playing, you know, two, three nights a week, every single week. And it was like, yeah You don't have time to to learn new materials. So you're playing, you know, the same material over and over and over again. and so You can get burned out quick. It just turns into standing up there and singing and that's it. And, uh, you know, now, you know, I've recently kind of broke back out into the scene a little bit. And, uh, but I got, you know, I got two little kids at home and a wife and, and if you know, uh, a job going on. So, you know,
00:27:09
Speaker
I play, I try and play once, twice, maybe three times a month. And that keeps me fueled up. You know what I mean? that I can recharge between between gigs. do you do you have Do you have original stuff that that you've written or um are you solely and just doing covers? just ah Yeah. So, uh, I mean, a while back I was into songwriting a little bit. I know nothing about songwriting. Um, and that's probably my biggest hangup, but recently, uh, I have, I've got, I've got two completed, um, that I play out on a regular now. And, uh, I've got a couple more that I'm working on here and there, but yeah, I mean, I, they're, I think both of them are on the, uh, my Instagram page, but, uh, it's, it's one of those things like,
00:28:00
Speaker
It sounds great to me. You know what I mean? It it makes me, makes me feel something. And, uh, you know, maybe one person out there will feel the same way about it. But as far as that structure of, you know, this, that, and the other, I don't even know what to make an example of. I don't know it. You know what I mean? yeah i know how to have It's got to have a verse, a chorus, and a bridge. And That's, that's as much as I can get. well but but my If you don't like it, don't listen to it. You know what I mean? Hey, you know what? Ain't nothing wrong with that at all. You know, that's kind of how I feel with, uh, you know, uh, doing this part. I have no idea what I'm doing. I just, I can turn a camera on and a microphone on and I can talk. So, you know, it's like, if you, you know, I feel the same way. If you like it, awesome.
00:28:49
Speaker
If you don't like it, you can scroll past or you can hate watch it either way. You know, I don't, like you know, you yeah, ah you know, a number's a number. attend And I hate to say that because we do have some loyal followers and some loyal fans that, you know, we have seven different shows and they're in here seven nights a week, even if they pop in just to say hi and to chat for a few minutes, um which is awesome. You know, I'd rather have that than have you know, 9 million followers and nobody actually listens to our stuff or, or watches what we do. He's, you know, he's being modest, huh? You gotta get called out from the chat tonight. Who's that? Where's that at? I got it up on the screen. i got a very Oh, comments. Okay. Right on. Right on. Yeah.

Well, speaking of haters, do you have you, you know, being a musician, I'm sure you've caught, you've got just one, all kinds of grief. Just on Instagram. So my Instagram only came up like two months ago. Like it was, it was a private Instagram for a while. I had a couple of music ones out there. That's why that's verified. So people know to go to that one with the blue check, um, to get my updated catalog of of material and, uh,
00:31:25
Speaker
So yeah, I mean, everybody's like, Oh, this is great. This is great. This is great. Uh, you know, anywhere from 10 to, you know, 15, 20 comments on a, on a reel or something like that. And then when I did the, the, uh, uh, blink one 82 cover, I screwed it up and do it into a verse and a chorus. And, uh, a dude commented on, he's like, not it brother.
00:31:45
Speaker
And I'm, all da I was like, Oh, cool, man. Like he's like, uh, some music just shouldn't be, should be left alone or something like that. And I was like, Hey, man, you know, I appreciate it. Blah, blah, blah. And he like kept going. And I was like, Hey, a comment I just responded to comments, a comment, man. Thank you. Either way, your, your comment, good or bad. It caught a little bit more traction, sunk its way into that algorithm a little bit further because you wanted to be a smart ass. Yeah. yeah like You're, you're one of.
00:32:15
Speaker
20 or 30 people that they, you know, do, do, do the math at the end of the day, do the math. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Uh, uh, which, uh, I did, uh, yeah. Damn it. I blink one 82.
00:32:34
Speaker
So you, so I got lucky. I, ah you know, you just opened up your, uh, your, your Instagram. I, you know, I, I'll be a hundred percent honest with you. I love my algorithm right now on Instagram. I used to hate my algorithm on Instagram, but I love it now because it's nothing but, but people like you, man, up and coming artists, local artists, whatever. And I scroll through and I'll be scrolling and somebody's voice will catch my ear.
00:33:00
Speaker
like Okay. Hold on a second. Where was it? Where was this person at? And I've got to do the scroll back and go, there it is. right um And then I go to the page and I'm like, all right, please have music on the page or have a YouTube channel or something. You know, cause some artists will put out a song and then you're like, yeah, now your Instagram page is full of you doing goofy TikTok dances. And then I go to the YouTube channel. There's like one video on there and they're, they're, they're fishing, nothing against fishing. I mean, I enjoy a good day out on the water too.
00:33:29
Speaker
but it's like, well, okay, that kind of sucks. You know, like I wanted to, uh, you know, but then I, you know, the majority of the time it's like, boom, there's so much stuff on the Instagram that I can listen to. And there from there, I go to YouTube or Spotify or whatever and, and, and listen to stuff. And it's like, all right, I'm gonna, I gotta reach out to this person. I like what they're doing. You know, that's kinda, I mean, that's exactly, honestly, how every guest I've had on here with the exception of one,

A guy in the business one time, when I first started, he told me he said, never turned down a gig. No matter what it is, never turned down a gig. Although I did learn now, I turned down weddings. I'll do like a cocktail hour, but weddings are tough. Weddings are tough. My, my, my music gallery doesn't really lend to weddings very, very well. yeah You know,
00:35:27

I would, I would, I would love to hear you do a cover of Edda James at last yeah forever young. yeah Yeah. All those, all those wedding songs that are, do you do the chicken dance by request? Yeah. Yeah. I've done the, uh, I've done the aisle walk a couple of times for some people.
Balancing Music Career and Life Responsibilities
00:35:49
Speaker
what kind sna Yes. What are you doing?
00:35:53
Speaker
pinky the sleepmans going high down oh but Yeah, they are wicked stressful here take this again interruption number two of the night Boys hunger get him a snack. and Yeah, like he didn't just eat dinner We were trying to do his show and he kept disappearing. I'm like, dude, you're the host who can't just randomly get up and believe
00:36:19
Speaker
Um, yeah yeah, I think I think you know in the in the entertainment world Uh, whether you are a dj a singer or even even a photographer Man weddings have got to be the most stressful thing in the world Yeah, for sure. For sure. My boy ben. He was just on here. He he commented a couple of times I did uh, I did her walk-up song uh, nice and I didn't know this, but they didn't tell anybody that I was going to do it until I showed up for rehearsal that day. And they're like, Oh yeah, surprise. He's doing it. And I'm like, Oh wow. Way to, uh, way to send my heart through my chest now. And yeah I was so nervous. I was so nervous for that song, but it yeah it it came out. All right. It came out. Nice. Um, so, so, okay. that This is, this is especially for, for, for you guys and the local scene. This is a question I'm always curious.
00:37:16
Speaker
Plus it's kind of helping me out because I'm super nervous about this weekend, getting on stage and performing in front of each other or in front of people. Do you still get nervous or jitters or, uh, what was the first, and this is like a double-edged question, but what was the first time like where you got up in front of a crowd of people and was like, I guess I'm doing this.
00:37:36
Speaker
i i forgot every single word of the song first time i got up shit yeah yep ah he invited invited me out to play this open mic night with them and So, and it was at a bar that I pretty much like grew up at, you know what I mean? And way out, way out where I grew up. And so they knew me and I knew everybody in there and I mean, all six people that were there. yeah And ah so it's, so it's my turn to come up. I sit down and at the time, like, uh, the song cruise by Florida Georgia line was, was topping the charts. Oh yeah. I had that one nailed down and that's what I was going to do. Now, mind you, I think I had
00:38:14
Speaker
I think I had probably four or five songs that I could play through the and entire song. You know what I mean? Like yeah now I got, I got, you know, 60, 70 songs that I could do that with. Wow. But, uh, so yeah, I get up and I sit down in front of the mic like this. I grabbed my guitar and the bar manager comes running around and she's like snapping pictures of me. And I'm just like, I let out the first chord and nothing came out of my mouth.
00:38:42
Speaker
I don't know the first word to this song. And I just started playing my guitar and I'm looking around hoping somebody's going to like mouth me the words. And then it all, and then it all kind of hit me. And once I got through that song, I think I played one or two more. And then we just kind of made it like a ah screw around session and, uh, and it went well. And then from that point forward, it was like, all right, let's see how drunk we can get, uh, while we're playing.
00:39:08
Speaker
And because we needed it, you know what I mean? It was risky shot after risky shot. And and we courage yeah, we'd play for four hours and then need to ride home. We're just a puddle. We're just a mess. And couple probably a year or two go by. And I'm like, uh, my, you know, my wife at, she's now my wife at this point. She's like, she ain't gonna want to drive me all the time. So I ended up stopping drinking while I was playing. That was like a whole nother transition.
00:39:35
Speaker
I had to learn again how to play completely sober in front of people. and But it it came along, you know what I mean? it It came along and it got to a point where I just didn't drink and play anymore. And now actually I don't i don't drink at all. but um yeah So that was that was my first time playing and kind of building up through. And then what was the first part of that question?
00:40:02
Speaker
Oh, do you still get nervous or I'd forgotten my question. Professional host here, ladies and gentlemen. It depends. ah It depends. I mean, if I'm in a bar scene somewhere, no, I don't, I don't really get nervous. Um, nor nine times out of 10, I know somebody in the room. You know what I mean? Uh, well, like I actually went up, I played Norchard park, New York, um, once or twice. And you know, when you, especially when you're with another, when you're like run a duo or something like that.
00:40:31
Speaker
Yeah. You know, you you got somebody else there, you know, that's like a little, little safety blanket for you. You know what I mean? You can kind of collect your thoughts while while he's doing his thing. And, um, but if I, uh,
00:40:46
Speaker
it's a nerd It's a good nervous now, I guess. it's not like it's not ah It's not a nervousness that locks me up. It's a nervousness that hypes me up and gets me excited to be in front of in front of everybody. um and and And quite frankly,
00:40:59
Speaker
um you know so I'm a lineman by trade and a couple of years ago I took over as what we call the apprenticeship um director. So now I kind of have to get up in front of people and speak or I have to talk to a lot of unfamiliar people and things like that.
00:41:16
Speaker
And I'm like, I'm sitting in a room with 200 people and I'm like, man, I would, I would rather be right up there in front of you with a guitar and a microphone saying, then, then talking to you. You know what I mean? Um, I just, I feel more secure that way. Yeah. You have to incorporate your guitar and singing plus, indeed plus nobody's, your trade nobody's going to come right out and say, you suck, get off the stage. You know what I mean? Nobody's that mean. I don't think, but,
00:41:44
Speaker
thing. I mean, you never know that, you know, if you survive New York, they can be a tough crowd. I mean, yeah, that's, yeah. I mean, there's, there's some places where, you know, Okey, Okey country music just isn't going to be received well. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. at the the At the end of the day. Um, so now just so you guys out there to listen to the audience. No, I don't put my, my guest on the spot. However, he came prepared. i couldn Not stripped. Yeah. I want to take a real quick break. And I was going to say, if you would like to do something, uh, you could do, I would love to have you perform on the show or I have music but already prepared that I can play and take a real quick little, little break break. That's up to you. If you want to take a break and play one and come back and I'll do one live maybe or whatever, whatever they want.
00:42:43
Speaker
i I mean, I would personally love to hear you sing one one live. Okay, you know Hey the Blues Brothers had yeah, the Blues Brothers had shit thrown at him like yeah No, that's that's that's what's going through my head because I'm MC in Saturday night You know and but what? I want to believe it or not one of my biggest fears in life is well outside of heights is Is getting up in front of crowds and talking?
00:43:10
Speaker
Yeah. Yes. i I understand. I do podcasting, but I'm also in the comfort of my own. i mean I'm literally in my bedroom right now. You know what I mean? And I don't ever pay attention to numbers. So I never know how many people are, are not watching alive or anything like that. But, uh, you know, everybody, everybody's like click. Just think of it as being on the podcast or doing a podcast. Once you get a microphone in your hand and you start talking, you'll be fine. I'm like, yeah, I understand that. But.
00:43:39
Speaker
This is, this is first time on stage and and in front of a, in front of a crowd. And I'm like, you know, fortunately all I have to do is talk. So if I don't stutter and stumble over my words and fall off stage, I should be good. Yeah. If they're, if they're sitting down, if they're sitting down, look right in front of them and then look right behind them and keep, you don't have to look at anybody specifically. I find when I look at somebody, yeah, when I, when I look at somebody specifically, I tend to lose train of thought.
00:44:07
Speaker
Like ill yeah I might lose words or something. So I'll kind of stare through that person or I'll, I'll look at the ground or or pass them. You know what I mean? um I'm going to look for my, my fiance and the crowd who will probably be the one going full to me, the old double bird. But, um, yeah, I mean, yeah mean if you're, if you're down to do it, do something live, um, I'll drop down. I'll give you the big screen and, and, uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh, Bobby Scott's going to give us a little, a little song live on the show.
00:44:39
Speaker
yeah except for dealer Dealers Choice, whatever you got popping in your head, I'll let you introduce you, do whatever. I'm going to drop down and let you do it.
00:45:02
Speaker
There was a man I used to pass On my way in into town, it was covered in dirt, but the world had beaten him down. I often wondered how we ended up like that. So one day driving home, I pulled over to cash. I said, man, where'd it didn all go wrong?
00:45:33
Speaker
She said, son, do you really want to know?
00:45:41
Speaker
My daddy left for another one, took off too well late. My mama fought hard against that cancer. She died when I was eight. I finished school in my country, shipped me off to war.
00:46:00
Speaker
I came home, my world didn't love me anymore It's hard to read all that when you're driving by So I just write down Jesus says, cause there ain't no way you can fit that on the side I can't fit that on the side
00:46:35
Speaker
I took him to a diner, bought him a cup of coffee, and he asked me if he could bomb a couple dollars off me. He told me his story, I told him how to. I said thanks most folks around here, if you ever take the time.
00:47:02
Speaker
I lost my child down at the mid factory Army staff sending me those tubes Thanks to everything I own It's like my way up to Chicago Nights were too damn cold I had to train at a bus train Cause I had nowhere else to go It's hard to see you're there when you're driving by. So I just write down Jesus Saves, cause there ain't no way I can fit that on with the sign.
00:47:45
Speaker
But I can fit that on with the sign.
00:47:56
Speaker
Well I proudly could have wrote down a little more If I could have found a bigger piece of cardboard My was my hero But was bad to drink One night he laid his heart down near that old high old riverbank My ex-wife tried for kids when we were dating. Hell, we even had baby names picked up. Little Walter didn't make it. But it's hard to see all that you're driving by.
Audience Engagement and Future Aspirations
00:48:43
Speaker
So I just write down Jesus says, because there ain't no way you'd get that on the sign.
00:48:55
Speaker
I can't fit that on the side.
00:49:19
Speaker
Did ah that come to all right? Yeah, man. That sounded great. that's that is ah There's a hell of a song. um um That was. Oh, oh, oh, I'm getting ah some feedback here. You got a little bit of feedback now. That's. Oh, no, I was just talking. on that I got a I got a tag. It's almost silent when you aren't seeing it's like background noise filter for voice only recognizes vocal tones and mutes when it doesn't hear you. Not sure if it's on your end. All right. Little technical difficulties on the sound. Sorry about that.
00:49:55
Speaker
Technical difficulty on the same. I was just in the chat would definitely let us know, but I mean, it sounded great in my ear, which means, you know, come through great when, uh, you know, on the, um, recording you should come. Yeah. It should come through good on the recline on the recording. So, um, I'll actually, I'll test that theory when, uh, and I want to apologize. I had an alarm go off and I was like, what the hell? I didn't realize my mic was still on either, but, um, yeah, usually, um,
00:50:25
Speaker
If I can hear it through here, and it'll translate pretty well. Yeah, I was doing some sound checking earlier and I found one of the in the settings here. I think i there was a box check that needed to be unchecked. so if we'd let him in If I do another one, you had the reduced noise one, it was killing my guitar, I guess. I don't think anybody heard it. I wonder if it was
00:50:50
Speaker
Yeah, I was going to say the background noise is, yeah, the the background noise is the one that kills me. Sometimes I'll go to play something on, on one of the other shows. They're like, we That's probably a little bit better. wait for text yeah Hopefully that's better. Let us know in the chat. If you guys are watching the chatter's boxes open, you guys feel free to chat away. welcome We'll drop the chance right up on the screen.
00:51:18
Speaker
That way I can make sure Bobby can see him and we'll we'll answer any questions. You guys are allowed to ask questions or interject in the conversation and all that stuff. Yeah, I just got a text from one of the guys watching the live and I fixed it. It's fixed now. Okay. didn't even think about that. There you go. Okay. So my apologies. I didn't even think about that. So well ah you care if I I'll play one of my originals.
00:51:44
Speaker
yeah go ahead man we got to get yours brother yeah gotta give him something now yeah the yeah thats we're just the the first song the first song is completely stripped down and it's just vocal so yeah so yeah ah good go ahead man yeah this song is called motel and cop cars good
00:52:14
Speaker
She's too young and he's too old Heaven heaven, so she's told She don't know nothing, he knows it all 13 minutes in a bathroom stall It's all need for love All need for love And he said, I don't want him around no more
00:53:00
Speaker
But shout-outs when she knows she isn't right. She's 12 weeks and long. That little girl is said, don't you push her out that door.
00:54:04
Speaker
So Daddy did what Daddy said he'd do She's too young and he's too old And that pistol still feels as cold And in a motel room just down the hall If you were there, you could hear that hammer fall
00:55:02
Speaker
That one come out a little bit better.
00:55:06
Speaker
I wish I remember. I fucking love that song. That is awesome. Thanks, man. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. So I'm going to a selfish request, but you kind of put that out on YouTube or something, man. You guys put that full version. Yeah, I got the full version on my, uh, on my, on my Instagram page, but yeah, I got a, I'm slacking on YouTube. Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna,
00:55:28
Speaker
snatch the screaming cord from here, buying the full, you know, I hadn't heard that one yet. I liked that, man. That's awesome. That's, that's a, that's a killer song. I'm gonna, like I said, I'm going to wind up either snatching it up off your Instagram or, uh, screen recording it off of here and, uh, playing it on the other shows. If you're okay with that. Yeah, man. I'm, I'm, I'm great with it. I appreciate it. We, we, uh, we take breaks on every show, usually, uh, you know, uh, right around, uh,
00:55:55
Speaker
half hour mark hour mark on Saturday nights, cause Saturday nights are a six hour show. So, you know, I take that opportunity to play the music from, from my, from my ah previous guests.
00:56:08
Speaker
And, uh, that's a killer song right there, man. I like that. I appreciate it. I would definitely be putting that one everywhere, everywhere you could and getting it out there. Yeah. I got to figure out, I got to figure out how to get a good clean cut of it. You know what I mean? I don't know. Like I said, don't know nothing about sound and trying to get a good ah record of it is, uh, it's tough stuff. I agree with you, Scott.
00:56:33
Speaker
That's right. I appreciate you, buddy. I like that. That might wind up getting played on our road trip this weekend. Hell yeah, man. I appreciate that. I appreciate it. Give this a listen. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of my songs have darker twists. You know what I mean? I don't know why, but it's just, I mean, it, you know, it's, it's real life at the end of the day. I mean, it's, it's, and it's telling us, which me being, you know, I'm not, I'm about 10 years older than you.
00:57:02
Speaker
But you know i you know I grew up with my grandparents and my and my parents, especially my grandparents, listening to Leland and Johnny and you know and and and i mean Johnny Cash wrote a song about shooting a man just to watch him you know watch him bleed. think you know ah But it's real life. It's gritty. It's it's raw. it's i like I like that. it's And it's a story. i mean yeah It's something that either people can relate to or, you know, especially being from small towns, you know, somebody who kind of went through a similar situation, you know, older guy, younger girl, maybe daddy didn't necessarily put him down. But that that song lives out of fantasy for some angry dads, you know what I mean? Oh, yeah. yeah And I'm a girl dad. I got I got two daughters. Trust me, there's yeah there's been my oldest one. There's been a couple of boyfriends where
00:57:58
Speaker
I would have liked to put into a great. Oh, I'm sure I'm sure that I mean, unfortunately, she's never been pregnant that I know of. She's 19. I'm not a grandfather yet. ah But, you know, there' she's had some idiot boyfriends come through here and it's just like. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm going to smile and be nice to you. But if you if you only knew the thoughts I were having right now. Yeah, it's kind of where the that's kind of where the song started was, you know,
00:58:28
Speaker
ah It was supposed to be like a, I don't know, like a more serious, lovey, like kind of, I don't know, coming of age type deal. And then then I accidentally created like a narcissistic boyfriend. And and as soon as like I ah dumped out, I wrote that song in 20 minutes. That's like, I don't know why that happens. I can sit down and try and write for nine hours and never get a word on the page. But all of a sudden I'll have an idea and 20 minutes later i I'm, you know, dumping out a song here.
00:58:56
Speaker
And yeah, I wrote that first line, you know, she knows nothing. He knows it all. Thirteen minutes in a bathroom stall. Boom. I got an eight month old little girl and I was just instantly like, oh, this guy's going to die. This guy's going to die by the end of the song. You know, it's good enough. I killed him. I killed him. Yeah. You know, I mean, somebody, somebody, yeah somebody did a dad did and and and anybody who's ah who's a dad, especially with girls and you know obviously I don't want my son to be in that situation, but as a, you know, I got two girls and a boy. So, you know, when they were born, it was like, what's going to happen? You know, the day that they come home and some douche nozzle has knocked them up. you yeah like you don't yeah want how How am I going to react? You know, and and they said, I made it, you know, I made it to, uh, I have my oldest was 19. She's graduated high school and get ready to start college. So it's like, all right.
00:59:55
Speaker
All right. We're, we're, we're good so far and right a middle one, you know, she, she has no, I don't, I don't, she had a crush on the senior last year, but I don't think outside of that, she has any interest in, uh, uh, in, in, in boys, uh, right now, ah you know, her sister at that age was a totally different monster, but are dying prepared yeah what yeah your days love bobby I know that guy. What's up, Danny? Thank you, man. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. yeah yeah That's I think that's one thing that I did like and I especially like that you
01:00:32
Speaker
just randomly record your your songs throughout the house, you know, whether you're in the garage or in one of the, it's like, it's like you're at home on a Saturday and you're, you're working on your honeydew list and you're like, ah, fuck it. I'm going to sing in your wife, find you in the garage an hour later and you're just like, yeah just what are you doing? Yeah. And she wants to wrap that guitar around my head. Yeah. Yeah.
01:00:57
Speaker
but do Don't worry. My fiance does the same thing. yeah She's like, I thought you were going to, I thought you were going to do this. Yeah, I was, but I started doing podcast stuff and next thing I know it's three o'clock in the morning and you know, I'm a case of beer in and yeah you know, I don't know what's I don't even remember who it is anymore. Ben, Ben. Yeah, no, no, that's I mean, you know, you say, you know, it's kind of a dark turn, a dark twist. But I mean, look what would look what happened with Hardy. He had that he had that one song and just blew up. I mean, I know he's on the scene a little bit, but he did that one song, Wait in the Truck, which I love. um And he just now he's everywhere. The guy's everywhere, you know. Yeah. And that's all Jelly Roll does. I mean, at the end of the day is
01:01:45
Speaker
dark, gritty songs. I mean, yeah, that boy is, he's got a story to tell. So he's, I think he does a great job. I think he found his home for sure. No, I, um, we went and seen him. My, my fiance, she's a, she's a big jelly roll fan. And I was like, I'm on the fringe. You know what I mean? I'm like, okay. I like a couple of his songs. We went and seen him last year. And, uh,
01:02:14
Speaker
By the end of the night, I was a fan. There were songs that I didn't realize were his songs that he sang or he sang and until that night. And I was like, Oh, I love this song. I didn't realize it was him. I had no idea who it was. It was just one of them songs that, you know, would pop up on my playlist when I'm driving or, you know, at the gym or whatever. I had no idea it was him. Yeah. And I left that concert, a huge fan, especially with him getting up and in, in, in you know, telling his story and being so brutally honest and not, not hiding, you know, look, I got to pass at the end of the day. Yeah, I'm not I you know i ain't no freaking saint. You know, so yeah, speaking about like music music, god like, like in different kinds of music. I'm a huge MGK fan. I love machine gun Kelly. I thought he was a little bit of a punk at at the beginning, but he's he's got some great music and him and Jelly Roll just did Lonely Road.
01:03:10
Speaker
which is kind of a spin on, uh, take me home country or spin on country roads rather. Yeah. And it was, that was awesome. All right. Thanks for hanging out. Appreciate you stopping by, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Um, have a good night yourself. Yeah. No, I, you know, yeah. Ohio's own MGK. I thought he was kind of a punk when he went after him and then input him in his place. And all of a sudden he started wearing pink clothes and being,
01:03:38
Speaker
And, uh, an emo punk rocker. And I'm like, dude, what are you doing, man? Like, he's wild, man. He's, you never know where he's at. And, did you show dirty? You had to completely change genres and and everything. But, uh, no, I was, uh, when, when MGK first came out and I remembered, you know, listening to him before he got real popular. And I'm like, I really like this kid. You know, he's, a you know, uh,
01:04:07
Speaker
I'm an old school hip hop head. Um, I love night eight, like the late eighties nineties, early 2000s hip hop. And, and he had that, that something about him, you know, that really kind of hit home, even like some of his underground stuff. And, you know, and was man, I really liked this kid, but it was just like, yeah, you kind of signed your own death warrant there at the end of the day. Yeah, picking on it. Eminem's not going to get you very far.
01:04:33
Speaker
Yeah, you know, there's an old saying, you don't tug on Superman's cape. you know What's going on, like, what's going on with you? But, um, when did I, so, and again, Mike, I'm ah um'm a, character I'm a, I'm a curious, ask this question. I got, I gotta, I gotta to fix something below, but that's the question. Go ahead.
01:04:55
Speaker
No, you're good. um When was it that you knew that you wanted to be a singer or like, what did you find your voice at the end of the day? um
01:05:08
Speaker
ah Did I know I wanted to be a singer? I don't i don't know about that. um Did I realize I like to sing and I love music when I was in kindergarten? Uh, yeah, we had a, uh, we had what they called specials, you know, basically like elective classes, but you're, yeah yeah like you're in kindergarten, you don't get to choose them, but you had like music on Mondays and gym on Tuesdays, that, ye and i have to win that.
01:05:34
Speaker
music class, uh, the teacher, she sat down with this big piano. She had this big booming voice. She sang the national anthem. And, uh, what else did she sing? Anyway, I was like,
01:05:47
Speaker
Like that was, that was beautiful. That was amazing. I remember like getting chills for the first time, it was like the first time like a music, music actually like affected me. And, and I was like, well, that's cool. And I befriended her and and you know, I, I'll still see her out, you know, once in a while. But, uh, it was, uh, well, I started playing guitar when I was 19.
01:06:09
Speaker
Um, always wanted to learn how to play the guitar and never could put it together. And, uh, when I was in college, uh, two guys on my floor, that was a freshman college, two guys on my floor. I could hear them playing and the whole, this whole group outside singing like Google dolls and a waste. It's obviously wonder wall. You know what I mean? Uh, the calling things like that. And I was like, yo, I was like, can you teach me how to play guitar? Like I'm tired. ah I was playing baseball.
01:06:37
Speaker
So if I wasn't at practice, I probably wasn't doing the schoolwork I should have been doing. I was like, give me something to do. I'm sitting here in his dorm room and they started teaching me chords. And I found out, I found out then that it kind of came a little bit easy for me. It's, it's really hard for some people, but it kind of came a little bit easy for me to sing along with the chords. Not saying that I started off great. You know what I mean? But, but it was a really kind of a good natural foundation to start building on. And, uh,
01:07:07
Speaker
And like I said, at that point, I think I only had, you know, at that point, I probably only had two songs I could play ah all the way through. But, you know, like I said, i i didn't I don't think I had to start off as hard as some people do. um Yeah, a little bit of a natural ability to to kind of do it. So I was like, all right, I think I think i could do this. This would be pretty cool, you know.
01:07:29
Speaker
Hey, I'm going on 20, 20, 20 ish years of owning a guitar and it's holding hats at the end of the day. So it took me 19. I still don't know any guitar theory. I know about as much as guitar theory as I do, uh, songwriting theory. But, uh, you know, I know, I know some chords and I can, I can get up and down the neck a little bit. That's about it. I so actually started on the piano, uh, would mess around with that when I was a kid and I could kind of emulate You know, jingles and stuff like that on the piano. And once again, never really learned how to play. I have a piano, but it mostly helps me transpose chords. That's about it. Were you, uh, were you one of those kids that just, uh, was always going around at like the house or wherever, just singing?
01:08:16
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Uh, and my friends are going to bust my ass for this, but when i was little when I was a little kid, the nutcracker was like my favorite thing ever. And I would like run around saying to the nutcracker and yeah, probably should have left that one out of here. Maybe the bed. I don't know. Yeah. Should've been a cowboy. What's up Cass. Um, yeah, no, I don't worry. My,
01:08:48
Speaker
My daughter was making fun of me the other day because she was back here in the, uh, in the bedroom and my room. Stop it. Uh, watching Greece too. And I came back and I was just passing through and Greece one and two or two of my favorite movies. And I know every song word for word. And I know every, I know, I know, I know the entire movie word for word. And I just.
01:09:17
Speaker
Without missing a beat, I was just coming through to grab something out of the closet and go back through. I right started the script, you know the lines that they were saying, and then they broke into song.
01:09:32
Speaker
And I was still in a bedroom and started singing it. I was singing it down the hallway. Then I was in the kitchen making dinner and I was still singing. ah she She came out and started making fun of me. I'm like, what? ah like I was like, I've been watching those movies since I was a kid. So nothing to be embarrassed by the note. Absolutely. at the end of the day Yeah.
01:09:52
Speaker
um I'm another person a six foot two 300 plus pound Sasquatch grown-ass man singing cool writer by Michelle Pfeiffer from Yeah, right. Yeah at the top of his lungs And I can't sing so that's the other thing like I don't have a voice, you know, I i just I just sing because I like to As in the ballet that would be it. Yep. Yeah, and I'm a huge fan of I'm a huge fan of the theater and and and and and musicals and stuff like that. So again, that didn't set very well for me in high school when when the guys would find out that, you know, I went and seen the Phantom of the Opera right that weekend. you know we Hey, why don't you have the bonfire this weekend? Oh, I had a date. And then they found out that I went to Phantom of the Opera on Monday in the locker room. Oh, there you go, buddy.
01:10:50
Speaker
Yeah, but now sure. That's gonna, that's gonna end me up on a list somewhere. Do it on ah do it on a podcast without me on it. yeah nope no Oh, Bobby, yeah by the way, I'd love to have you come back again. I have to show you. this Yeah, you might be in your own home, but we're kind of in each other's space right about now. so Yeah, exactly. Trust me, as as as Tony Stark once said to Pepper, this is not the worst thing you've got me doing. So we've we've probably done a lot worse on, but you know, Saturday nights get a little out of hand on podcast nights, but you know, that's what they're for. That's what they're for.
01:11:32
Speaker
Yeah. Well, that's, that's what we, we, we, we dub Saturday nights that the, uh, lunatics take over the asylum. Basically all the guards leave and just unlock the doors and whatever happens happens at the end of the night. so Right on. Yeah. It's like, it's like, uh, protect our parks episodes on Rogan. It's just pure chaos. Yeah, exactly. It really is. And then we, we add to the chaos by doing what we call an open door challenge. And we dropped the link in the chat and.
01:12:02
Speaker
Literally anybody and everybody can hit that link and come up on the show with us. Nice. Nice. We just, I hate that we have to have this caveat in there, but we ask people to please keep their peckers in their pants because that's a legitimate concern and and a good ground. roll We have been wiener balled, unfortunately. So, um,
01:12:27
Speaker
with with anyways with with with you doing music is it is it more of a hobby for you or is it something that you would like to turn into a career or Yeah, I mean, it's, it's a hobby. I got a, I got a job now, you know, if I'm 13 years of my career, you know what I mean? And yeah, I'm, I'm comfortable where I'm at. You know what I mean? It would be a, it would be a hell of a gamble to, uh, to try and do it. You know, I'm 34 years old, so I got six years till I'm 40. You know what I mean? Nobody's going to want a 40 year old dance around on stage unless
01:13:02
Speaker
You've been doing it for 15 years. So I think kind of, uh, kind of pursue more of the songwriting, um, and the things. And, uh, if I ever was to have a song published, I think that would be, that'd be a bucket list thing for me. And I'd be pretty satisfied with it with that music career. if If I was able to have a song published.
01:13:27
Speaker
But like I said, to get out on stage, you know what I mean? and And, you know, be run by a label or something like that. And they tell you, you got to go out to Piedmont, North Dakota and play the county fair, by the way, for free. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, I'm not doing that. You know what I mean? I'm not hopping in a minivan with a bunch of so smelly guys running across there and making no money. You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. It's tough.
01:13:55
Speaker
You know, I, uh, I wouldn't, um, you know, don't, don't, don't discredit being almost 40. And, uh, you know, obviously, you know, I, I do this, I, you know, I have a real job and and all that stuff, but you know, I'm, I'm just, uh, I'm just a monkey in a building at the end of the day, you know, I'm in the construction field. Um, and I, and I do, I do property management. Uh, I'm a maintenance quote unquote maintenance guy, but, um, you know, but, uh,
01:14:25
Speaker
I used to think the same way when I, when I was like, all right, I'm finally going to do this podcast thing. It's been a dream line forever in a day. And now it's like, I mean, yeah, I'm going to have fun and do it. And if by the off chance, cause like I said, you never know, you published that one song or you put that one song out there and and the next thing you know, it catches the right ears and they're like, Hey man, we got this big fat, stupid contract for you. Um,
01:14:50
Speaker
We understand you're not the greatest songwriter, but we're going to help you out and and show you the, show you the the ropes on songwriting. But we're also going to hook you up with, you know, some of the best songwriters in Nashville. And all you got to do is get on stage. I mean, I wouldn't, I wouldn't stub my nose at a, you know, ah no, I mean, I totally get you going up and down the road with not making any way. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. Definitely open to ah anything that comes my way. You know what I mean? Like I said before, never turned on a gig, but, uh,
01:15:21
Speaker
but to actively pursue it. You know what I mean? I can't get right out there. What's this? Now I have a nephew that is trying to play guitar self taught. Sounded pretty good. Any advice I can pass on to him? Yeah. Don't turn down a gig. You know, if he gets offered to law, you know, play a graduation party or play for a group of friends or, you know, play for anybody who will listen, you know what I mean? Um, you know, it's just, and I also say, keep it, keep it for yourself. You know what I mean? Make sure you're playing to make you happy.
01:15:51
Speaker
one That's the ultimate thing. Don't don't lose don't lose yourself, you know what I mean? At the end of the day, Lady, just a little background on Lady, she's been in the music world for about 753 years. so Dang. ah she's She's also brighter than the sun, so there's that.
01:16:14
Speaker
um she does she does she does She knows quite a bit about the music industry. It's always exciting when she pops up here on on Tuesday nights and gets into the chat with the with the musicians as well. um but yeah yeah Yeah, I have two unfortunately.
01:16:34
Speaker
sweet thing ge ah blaze What's up Blaze? I seen you come in earlier and I didn't get a chance to say what's up to you. but Well, this is one of the host, uh, slash co-host one of the host to one of my, one of the other, excuse me, one of the other shows here on the network. ah Um, but, uh, no, that's cool, man. and You know, um, and like you said, you do what, like two to three shows a month or something like that. Yeah. That's what I try. And I try and keep that to keep my chops up. You know what I mean? Do you, do you, do you travel, um, far outside of your,
01:17:09
Speaker
home base or you do you drive to stay pretty, pretty local? Well, that's kind of why I'm kind of, you know, uh, slowing the normal gigs down a little bit and building the social media up. So that way I can kind of branch out to further places. And, uh, I actually got an opportunity to play down in, uh, at Clemson university at a bar called the SO club. And, uh, I was doing actually my uncle's wedding reception there, his,
01:17:38
Speaker
wife is a former Clemson cheerleader. And so we were down there, I was playing, the bar was still open to the public.
Unexpected Opportunities and Social Media Strategy
01:17:46
Speaker
And, you know, when I first walked in, I could tell ah like the manager was like, all right, yeah, we don't know who this guy is. But like, just point your speaker back there. You know what I mean? I was like, yeah, all good. I'll keep it quiet. And ah like three songs later, she comes over, she's like, Hey, can do you have a card or something? Like, can I get your information? We'd like to have you back.
01:18:05
Speaker
And I'm like, Oh, I said, well, you know, I, I do have information, but it'd be kind of tough. Like I live in Pennsylvania and she's like, Oh yeah, that would be kind of tough. And then like later on through the night, um, they were talking about having me come down for a Clemson home game and play the back, the back deck, which the back deck leads right out basically almost to the stadium.
01:18:26
Speaker
Yeah. And and so um'm so I started building my social media kind of from that point forward. So that way in January, she said in January, um they booked their entertainment for the following season.
01:18:39
Speaker
So i wanted I wanted to have a good catalog built up. That way I could give it down to them. And yeah, maybe hopefully get on the home game roster for Clemson next year. But that that kind of sparked it. I was like, oh man, if I could play out here and you know I have some, like I said, I got family in Western New York and I've done a couple gigs up there.
01:18:58
Speaker
um I've often thought about like for work trips and stuff like that, like kind of looking up a nearby bar or the hotel bar even, and maybe just setting up, uh, you know, last minute kind of, and and playing just different places. I'd rather play for less money in different places than for the same money in the same place. You know? Yeah, exactly. No, that Clemson game, that's cool, man. Especially being right down there on campus. And you know, that's, I mean, in the last,
01:19:28
Speaker
I don't know how big of a sports fan you are or if, you know, oh yeah but, um you know, in the last 10 years or so, Clemson's really made made a name for themselves in college football. And I've been to that campus, been up to that campus a couple of times and when I lived out in Charleston. Cool campus, cool campus town, man. You know, and being from central Ohio, we have an I'm gonna say this on purpose because you guys are stupid. Ohio State University. leave Ohio State University. but so Yeah, yeah um'm ah I'm an Ohio boy born and raised and I'm a Michigan Wolverines fan.
01:20:11
Speaker
so Oh, are you, uh, are you not, not sure who I hate words, Michigan or a Ohio state. Are you a, uh, are you a Nittany lion? Yeah. Yep. I'm a Nittany lions fan. Home call or, uh, you know, well, home state, uh, you know, stick out. Well, they had their problems allegedly, allegedly, allegedly. allegedly You know, I, I, I do got to say, um,
01:20:43
Speaker
I feel bad for, for the coach. Um, you know, such a, such a history, such, such ah an amazing career and, you know, whether, whether it happened or not, whether the allegations are true or not. Just like a huge slap in the face. You know, yeah it was that was a huge, uh, huge. Yeah. That was tough for Jill for sure.
01:21:08
Speaker
Cause he did what he was supposed to do. You know what I mean? And he he got, ho he got hosed at the end. He got, he got, he got tarnished bad for that. and I have a huge Joe Paul fan at the end of the day. I, ah you know, I don't care for Ohio state. I know I'm supposed to hate them, but he got it. You gotta, you gotta respect a program, whether it's been state or Ohio state. And I'm a football fan first and more, but foremost, um, I love football college for buying up now, whatever.
01:21:38
Speaker
You know, uh, not the only college football team I hate is Alabama. And I don't know if it's because of the football program or if it's because of all their inbred fans at the end of the day. Yeah. But, uh, yeah, by the way, suck it, Alabama. How'd that feel? I'm getting slapped in the mouth by Michigan. and But, uh, now, you know, uh, yeah, hometown. Hey man, like I said, I'm, I'm, I'm the bad guy here and I worked for the university twice. Um,
01:22:08
Speaker
So I, I've, I've caught hell my whole life, you know, high born, high raised and I'm a diehard Wolverine. You know, brave man, brave man being there. Hey, you know, it's a good thing. I'm a big, it's a good thing. I'm a big boy. and um I mean, strangers don't know that I'm really a big old teddy bear, you know, but yeah, I yeah you got one big yeah i got a big I'm a big boy. I can be a little bit intimidating at times. So thank you for that.
01:22:36
Speaker
they know there you go At the end of the day, um, so, you know, moving, moving forward, um,
01:22:51
Speaker
you, you just go to stay on the same track you're on, you know, just kinda doing one what you do, having fun. Yeah. I mean, the, uh, you know, just kind of exploring this, uh,
01:23:03
Speaker
this Instagram world, the social media world world more than I ever have now. Before I just kept it, you know, so I could just snoop around and get into everybody's drama that they wanted to post. public So
01:23:19
Speaker
you know, now now I'm actually the one posting and and doing the doing the work. And i got I got two guys that helped me. I told them I'd shout them out, Benny Dubb and and Zach. ah They kind of like give me ideas for material and everything like to like put out and on there. So I've really seen like the ah the um ah abilities and the opportunities to be an independent artist right now are just through the roof. You know what I mean? Like you said, you know, it only takes one little reel. It takes a 30 second clip of the song to just kind of blow up, change your life. I mean, look at Oliver Anthony. He cut a whole record for Spotify on his iPhone out in the middle of nowhere. You know what I mean? And Richmond, north of Richmond, it just
01:24:06
Speaker
Wow, it it hit at the right exact time. And he's been running with it ever since. You know what I mean? Yeah, it 100%. It was one of those things that and I mean, I just I mean, it's you know, social media is a is a finicky bitch. Oh, it can be easier so bad. Yeah, when you're when you're
01:24:38
Speaker
When you're flying high, man, you're flying high, but that that momentum can be kicked out from underneath your feet as quick as, you know, just as quick as it can be, you know, as as quick as you're elevated. It could be kicked out from underneath your feet. Yeah. and I mean, it's a lot of work too, just to keep up on it. You know, for like a month straight, I was doing two or three reels a day.
01:24:59
Speaker
And you know, trying to get recording done, you know, on a, I try and rip off three, four songs. If I got a Saturday or Sunday and the and the house was quiet, and then I chopped them up throughout the week and put them out there. And it's just like, I don't know how some of these people do it. These, these influencers and these, these content creators. And it's like, holy shit. How do you, how do you keep this schedule up? You know what I mean? It is literally a full-time job. I would have to sit in my house all day long. If I wanted to keep up three reels a day and 30 seconds, that's a minute and a half.
01:25:29
Speaker
You know, of, of content and, uh, Hey man, kudos to you, but I just don't understand how to do it. Absolutely. Uh, drop drop is, I think I got, I think I got your Insta right. I put it up here on the screen. Bobby Scott music official on Instagram.
01:25:52
Speaker
which is what Instagram tells me. Oh, are you asking me? I'm sorry. I was reading the comment. Yeah. bob's got isn't get pushing yep Bobby's got music official. Yep. Like I said, I ah do check Mark. So that way the other two accounts don't get, uh, don't get used. Yeah. Uh, be dumb. If you want to drop an actual link, um, yeah, you have to post a video every every day, man. And, and, and see, that's, that's my struggle. Uh, there you go. and yeah have bobby scott yeah Any, I would,
01:26:21
Speaker
i Would I would recommend? Gets you like a link tree or a bio link or something like that ah You literally just put everything in there and like, you know It's scrolling on the bottom of the screen all night for for the nonsensical network We scroll it on every episode and they go there and and everything all your links for all your socials or anything like you can you can put gay upcoming gigs and everything in there. All right, and it's one-stop shopping man and You don't have to worry about anything. You know, you give that bio link out. And as I learned, because apparently I'm an idiot, the, uh, bio link and I'm assuming link tree would do the same. And there's other variations out there of the same thing. Uh, they create a QR code for you. So, I mean, you know, somebody can scan with their camera.
01:27:13
Speaker
I just learned that Saturday night and we've been doing this podcast and think for three years. Yeah. i'mly Probably pretty far off of that. I mean, I just learned how to do a live today. So yeah, yeah we um it's baby steps. Another cherry. Yeah. Popped another cherry. You got another Virgin in the English house of music tonight. a virgin Yeah. That's all right. it's I'm okay with that. ah Social social media. Trust me. I'm um'm i'm guilty of it. Um,
01:27:42
Speaker
ah You get busy, you know, you work, you got kids, you're married, you're doing the music thing. You know, ah same thing over here for me. And then we have seven shows on the network and four of the shows I host and one I co-host with my son.
01:27:58
Speaker
And it's like, it's a lot of work, a lot of content. Yeah. Hey guys, uh, can I get a little, can I get a little, just a little help, just, just a little help because then I do all the be behind in the scenes stuff with, uh, posting episodes and, but I've gotten better. Instagram has a really cool thing on there and and they, where you can go and select achievements. That doesn't give you anything for your profile. It's more of just a, Hey,
01:28:22
Speaker
post and there's like, yeah you know, seven, you know, a one story a day for seven days in a row or, you know, three reels in seven days or get X amount of views on a reel or post or blah, blah. And I started doing that and that's helped me quite a bit with, uh, you know, Hey, we've got to do a post. The great thing about it is you link your Instagram to your Facebook. You kill two birds with one stone. You post on Instagram and automatically sends it to your Facebook page.
01:28:51
Speaker
So yeah you got two birds down and then, or like, I like to cheat and I'll go to TikTok and I'll make a clip from one of the shows. And then I save that video to my phone and then that video is already made and then I'm boom, you know, throw it up. on snap Yeah. You know, uh, uh, X does not get much love. I'll be 100% honest with you. And X is a great platform for people like, you know, musicians and up and coming artists or podcasters.
01:29:20
Speaker
Because in my opinion, once you get past all the riffraff and all the crazy things going on on X, it is the greatest free platform for self promotion. All right. And you can get, you can gain followers. thats Yeah. so the The engagement and the interaction may not be there, but you're, you're getting it out there and and you can pretty much do and say whatever you want on Instagram.
01:29:50
Speaker
They're, they're, they're, they're already jumping on board. and Yeah, there you go, man. There you go. That's a great, that's a great song by the way. That's a killer song. Yeah. I love, uh, I love Corey Taylor, man. He's, he's
Concert Memories and Emotional Connections
01:30:03
Speaker
solid, dude. He's, his vocal range and his vocal ability is one of a kind for sure. It's, it's, it's so crazy. Like I was never a big, um, um, slipknot fan when they first came out.
01:30:19
Speaker
And then, you know, when Corey ventured off and did, um, Stone Sour, you know, cause they reached a point where he was like, uh, you know, I want to kind of do something a little bit different. And they, you know, from a couple of interviews, he was like, nothing against the guys, but they didn't want to play the type of music I was writing and whatnot. And so, you know, I did another project was, was stone sour. And I, you know, the first couple of songs that they released, I was like, man, okay, here we go.
01:30:48
Speaker
And then when he came back to Slipknot, you notice there was that little change in Slipknot. And, you know, they were always a popular band, but they really blew up. And I was like, so then I jumped on the Slipknot train and even listening to some of their older stuff. I was like, man, these guys are actually putting out fucking stupid good. hangger Yeah. Yeah. You know, back in the day and a couple, couple few years back, I got the opportunity to see them in concert and they're, they're insane in concert. They're so good in concert.
01:31:17
Speaker
Yeah. and I never seen Corey Taylor. Corey Taylor does have one of those voices that like, it blows your mind because you're so used to, you listen to the old stuff and I won't call it cookie monster metal, but it is a lot of screaming and a lot of, you know, and then you hear them do like snuff or whatever. It's like, man, it's incredible. Or any of the stone sour stuff. Yeah. Yeah. you That's why I want to go, uh,
01:31:41
Speaker
My, one of my bucket list concerts from one of my bucket list shows would be to see him at a, uh, like a blues house or a house of blues, rather. That would be really cool. Yeah. And intimate environment. And that, I think so you kind of hit the nail on the head. I was actually getting ready to ask you, excuse me. Uh, who were some of your favorite bands that you have yet to see or artists.
01:32:10
Speaker
Like I said, we don't, uh, you know, we don't get the concerts much, especially with kids now. You know what I mean? And then and the whole COVID break. You know what I mean? So it's, it's been quite a few years since I've been to ah a good live show. And I said, I'm pumped for this weekend. We, we bought front row seats for it. Like I'm not messing around. nice I want to go see it. I want to go see a show. You know what I mean? It's our anniversary. So we're, we're treating each other to that. But, um, happy anniversary. Thank you. Thank you. Um,
01:32:37
Speaker
I would really like to get out and see right now. I'd like to get out and see, well, not only Trudy Oak Revival and Coetzel this weekend,
01:32:46
Speaker
but ah man, there's so many like, you know, there's so many guys that just, maybe they have one song on like satellite radio or something like that. But, you know, the, we got Colter Wall and you got Dylan Gossett and my mind's kind of going blank out on my own. Oh, there's a band out there called LeCade.
01:33:07
Speaker
Um, these guys, I want to go see these guys. These guys are going to be at, you know, standing room only close. Those are the shows that I like to go to. You know, I've been to the Jason L. Deans at the big arenas and the big, the big, uh, you know, entertainment centers. And it's fun. It's fun. If you were there to drink beer and, and, and look at pretty girls and probably get into a fight on your way out. You know what I mean? Cause there's so many. But, uh,
01:33:36
Speaker
No, I, I really like seeing the smaller, the smaller bands, man. So yeah, I would say like Liquei, Dylan Gossett. Um, yeah, I'm drawing a blank on my bands, man. You should have had me prep this one. I would add all yeah whi my wall i said i should shot you i give a little show prep a little. these are the cool yeah yeah I would love to be able to do that, but unfortunately for me, everything I do is right off the top of my dome. It's literally just.
01:34:04
Speaker
for I'm freestyling a podcast right here. Nothing nothing wrong with that nothing wrong with that. Is there any like ah old school bands that that you like grew up listening to that you really love? that that you know yeah Obviously, like there's there's bands out there where members have died. or you know like i think i think like like the beach boy and not and i'm not saying like but I think the Boys have one surviving member, but they still go on tour.
01:34:32
Speaker
you know and journeys Journey has God knows who singing for them. And then, uh, Oh shoot. Um, what's her name? Um, what's her name? I've been in love with her forever. Um, the lead singer of hail storm. She's singing for an old ass band man. Oh, Lizzie Lizzie. Uh, Lizzie Hill. Yeah. was that ha is that hailstorm Yeah. Uh, she's, she's, she's actually, uh,
01:35:01
Speaker
doing the singing and it's an old band. I can't remember who it is right off top of my head. But is there like any of those old bands out there that you grew up listening to or artists that you would love to see that's on your bucket list? Man, I saw George Strait on a whim. um A friend of mine called me. It was like one o'clock in the afternoon. A friend of mine called me and said, George Strait's playing down in New Jersey, wherever the Devils play. That's that's the arena it was at. Yeah. And tickets were 25 bucks apiece.
01:35:31
Speaker
And I'm like, order four tickets. We're driving down there right now. The show was at six 30 or seven or something like that. And I think we were only like three and a half, maybe three hours away from the show. And we all loaded my truck, drove down. I said, we'll figure out a hotel when we get down there. You know what I mean? We'll we'll find something. Even if we got to get back in a truck and drive and our seats ended up being on the, the kind of the lower level, but back up against the wall.
01:35:59
Speaker
had a bar, had a bar right behind me. Nice. I want to say he has 60 plus number ones throughout his career. Oh, yeah. And so he he he played with the Ace in the Hole band for probably an hour and a half and then came out for another hour acoustically and ran through all all his number ones were played that night. It was incredible. And the man was 70 some years old, just sitting up there playing his guitar, you know,
01:36:28
Speaker
looking good as ever, man. And that was, that, that was a cool show. So I've already got that one crossed off, but, um, I'd love to see the Eagles, but once again, you know what I mean? Guys are, guys are passing away and and bands aren't the same. Um, yeah
01:36:46
Speaker
I guess the two coming back are like creating Nickelback right now. And I, you know, I would i would love to see, uh, Nickelback I'm with you. I would love, I know Nickelback gets a lot of hate, but damn, they put out.
01:36:57
Speaker
banger after bank I don't know why they get so much hate. I don't know why they get so much hate. I'll say it right now. I'll say I like Nickelback. I like it. I love Nickelback. I'm with you, man. I'm a huge fan of Nickelback. That's one of those songs. Nickelback's one of those bands that if I'm in the car alone,
01:37:13
Speaker
And I'm in the mood to listen to me. I crank it up and I sing at the top of my, by the time I get home from wherever I'm at or yeah my voice is completely shot. It's, it's 100% shot because I'm screaming at the top of my lungs, Nickelback. I think they're bigger now than they ever were just because of like this, like just like polarizing hate. Yeah. I mean, yeah it's just like the hate doesn't even make sense. You know, they just hate them to hate them. You know what I mean? And they're killing it right now. Crothers are killing it.
01:37:42
Speaker
and and they're and they're And they're buying into it. You know, they're doing that dance. yeah yeah yeah Absolutely. George Strait's definitely on my list of of people I would love to see. Never had the opportunity. um Guns N' Roses was on that list. And then a few years back, same same festival that I seen now Slipknot at, Louder Than Life in Louisville, Kentucky. Guns N' Roses was actually headline in that. And I was like,
01:38:12
Speaker
um um I'm going for the whole weekend because there was so many in this moment was there. Hailstorm was there stay. i mean There were so many bands. Ice Cube was there. There were so many bands and artists that I wanted to see, but I was like, I'm going for the whole weekend. I don't care how much it costs me. Yeah. I don't give a damn. I'm going Saturday night as guns and roses. And it wasn't, uh, um, you know, a cookie cutter piece together, guns and roses. It was axle rose and slash.
01:38:41
Speaker
And ah you know outside of Sadler it was it was the original lineup and I'm not missing this for the world I did have a little voice in the back of my head going man. Axel roses gonna sound like shit He's old he's overweight, but I'll tell you what Axel sounded is good Live that day that he sounded the first album that guns and roses put out and he was all over the stage and I'm like The amount of money that I spent to come here with with you know travel and hotel and I would have paid 10 times the amount to see this show over again. It it was so good. yeah Jason Aldean was on my bucket list. He's like my spirit animal. I love that guy. When I'm in a bad mood or depressed or whatever, I find me a back country road. I crank up some Aldean. I've always been a fan of Aldean. And last year for my birthday, my fiance got me tickets. at the
01:39:37
Speaker
Nationwide arena where the blue jackets play. Yeah, I mean we were we were up at the nosebleeds, but it didn't matter to me I mean And but yeah, that was a hundred percent that crowd was we've come to get drunk. We've come to party. We've come to have fun and And we're probably gonna punch somebody at the end of the night now. We didn't have that problem. We were surrounded um Cool people in our seats and then There's a bar right outside the arena. So when we got, when the show is over, we went to this bar. There's a whole bunch of cool people in there. You know, we, we actually had a really good experience, but you did see those people in the crowd. Oh yeah. And yeah, you know, in the arena, it was just like, wow, did you like spend all this money to be on the floor to see Jason Aldean? And now because you can't handle your, your alcohol, you've gotten kicked out. before just to get kicked out Yeah. Before Jason even came on stage. Um,
01:40:32
Speaker
So I do want to, I do want to ask another question, but I want to take a real quick little break. Uh, I know we're coming up against it. So I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to, I'm going to play one of the songs I downloaded because I think at the end of the night, if it's cool with you, um, I would like to make a request for you to close the show out with the live song. Yeah, sure. Yeah. That's cool with you. So I just want to take a little break. Um, I do have a couple, like I said, a couple of songs here downloaded. Um, it's, uh, your cover of Lee Bryce boy.
01:41:02
Speaker
Oh, yeah, that's a good I love this song um And I was debating between this and then and then you did that video with your son, but I was like I'm assuming it's your son first and foremost But I was like, I don't want to put his son on the show, because maybe you'd be like, what are you doing, bro? Like, why are you putting out on your show? Even though you put it not on the Internet. Exactly. Yeah, I didn't want to I didn't want to, you know, cross any boundaries. So we're going to take a real quick break. I got a couple more questions for you. I want to chat a little bit more. But you guys take a listen to the bottom cover of Lee Bryce's boy. It's a great song to love it.
01:42:40
Speaker
you'll do some stupid things
01:45:12
Speaker
you
01:45:23
Speaker
know hit that subscribe button yall I love that song, dude. That song hits so hard being a boy, that, ah you know, having a son of my own. Oh
Balancing Family and Music Pursuits
01:45:37
Speaker
yeah. Yeah. It's a, it's a, uh, pulls on the heartstrings for sure. You know, yeah it's one of those ones that always, uh, kinda gets me a little choked up because I'm not looking forward to some of the conversations that I'm going to have some of the conversations and arguments that I know are down the road. Like.
01:45:56
Speaker
I want my son to stay with the age he is right now because you know, he's like my little buddy. He thinks I'm cool. You know what I mean? Yep. But I know, I know I'm only a couple of years away from him getting, getting froggy one day and like, what are you going to do? Yep. Time to fold up your buddy. I'm going to need you, uh, before you get extra froggy to, uh, listen to this song by Garth Brooks. The day I called the old man out. Yeah.
01:46:25
Speaker
and and and reconsider your life choices at the end of the day. ah
01:46:33
Speaker
um So these are I'm less than I'm just going through my song list over here, so I'm prepared for the end. No, you'rere you're you're good, man. These are a couple of little bit more personal and and please feel free to tell me shut the hell up and it's none of my damn business. All right. book lie down um hit Not I'm not. And it's not that personal. But, you know, with being a musician and being a singer and stuff like that, and and also being a father, you know, some of these songs that you've listened to in the past and whatnot like that, do they hit differently now that you're a dad? You know, you got what two kids, two little ones, you got boy and girl. Yep, boy and girl. Yep. Yeah. So you got you got the best of both worlds. I'm gonna
01:47:23
Speaker
I don't know how old your daughter is, but I'm going to tell you right now. I understand why my dad told me he would have rather raised a hundred of me than one of my sisters. And I had four sisters. I was the only boy. so ye yup Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Prepare my friend. Be ready. She's a, she's eight months old. He's three and a half. Um, they're getting old quick. You know what I mean? Uh, yeah, it's, it does it differently. You know what I mean? When I, when I started, uh,
01:47:52
Speaker
learning that song. You know what I mean? I had heard it for how many years now for, you know, you know so how many times, uh, you know, you think about it one way and it, you know, now you have your own son and and you think about it a totally different way. And when I started learning how to play it, you know, it took a solid, you know, four or five tries to kind of get past the, uh, the emotional part of it. You know what I mean? And to just actually work it on the song itself. And, uh,
01:48:19
Speaker
which kind of benefits me in a way because now, you know, I can play it out without, you know, without getting choked up or anything like that. But so, yeah, I definitely, uh, these songs mean a lot. I mean, Luke Combs just dropped that album, fathers and sons. And that was like a knife knife right through my chest. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Which like, I love that song. And I, you know, uh, guys, uh, check it, you know,
01:48:46
Speaker
go to Bobby's Instagram, go to his YouTube channel, whatever. I love that song. And, uh, you, you did a fantastic job with the cover and it was super cute seeing your son in the, in the video with you. Oh yeah. Yeah. That one got some good, uh, good traction. Yeah. that That was, that was really cool. Um, yeah, I know, man, like I said, that My son's 11 and that song still hits me right, right in the old, right in the old feelings. Every time I hear it, you know, it's it's it's true. They really do grow up fast. you You know, my daughter graduated last year and it was just like, I'm standing there. She had two graduations. She she went to a vocational school and, and then she graduated from her high school. And at both of them, I'm like, it just feels like we literally just brought her home. Yeah.
01:49:41
Speaker
you know, like, and I'll look at her, you know, so it's like, man, why? Where did the time go, you know, at the end of the day? Yeah, I have a, you know, a situation in my job where, you know, I have I have time to do this extra stuff. ah Now, whereas in the past, I really didn't, but I was cramming it in there anyway, but I also didn't have a family on the backside.
01:50:01
Speaker
um So now with that extra time, you know, that I can spend with the kids that I can do baseball games, I can do dance and I can do all that other stuff. Um, you know, basically if I can't get famous from my basement, then I don't need to be famous. You know what I mean? I'm not ready to, not ready to give up all that free time with them to go chase a dream that, you know, should at this point be my, one of my kids, you know, yeah and then yeah have some talent and and be able to do this kind of stuff. And and maybe we can start off a little bit earlier in life and, and see if we can make another for one of them. And so that's where my focus is at. You know what I mean?
01:50:41
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I mean you definitely gotta you gotta to put the ah family first and you know Don't give up. Yeah, I mean at the end of the day you never know. Oh, yeah, but uh, but uh, you know, especially today with with with with the way the internet works and and and all the the amount of there there's a gentleman and actually he'll be He'll be he we were talking earlier about the internet issues. Uh, he's a young cat though He's he's a little wild cat well thunder cat if you will uh, he's 22, 23, something like that. So he's, he's just a baby, but he, dude, he, he put out a post the other day, man. And and I hit him up and I was like, yo, that shit, you meant the hell out of that shit. He said, I will become the best independent country rock artists you ever, you've ever heard of. I guarantee you that. and And he truly feels that way. He doesn't want to do the labels. He doesn't want to do.
01:51:36
Speaker
And, you know, the more I talk with, with, with you guys and, and, and, and and whatnot, and and I get to get to kind of, you know, get a feel for who you guys are. It's like, why would anybody sign with a label these days?
01:51:50
Speaker
yeah mean the the The Southern Outlaws, the Southern Outlaws band, friends of mine. They started their own label. They said to hell that we're not doing this shit. We're going to start our own damn label and publish our own music and and get the right people in the right place at the right time and and all that stuff. um But speaking of family, um how yeah um how's your wife ah you know with with the music thing? Is she super supportive or? Oh yeah. Yeah. She's super supportive. I mean,
01:52:23
Speaker
You know, she'll like ah her friends be, Oh, it must be so nice. that You know, he's at home playing and blah, blah, blah. And like, well, what they don't see is like me out there like practicing the same song, you know, 50 times, you know, so I did it right by the time, uh, by the time I'm ready to play it out. My wife hates that song now because she just.
01:52:43
Speaker
play it over and over again. And my son's running around singing the words, you know what I mean? And like, nice when I'm at home or when I'm out playing, you might hear 40, 50 different songs. When I'm at home playing, you might hear four or five new ones that I've been working on. And yeah was just my ready to, you know, cave the back of my guitar in with my head.
01:53:03
Speaker
Yeah. You got to get her some ah noise canceling the headphones or something like that. I got to get her an earbud. Yeah. Wire out the house so she can hear the kids, you know, like the kids up and then. But now she's super supportive. You know what I mean? Like tonight, you know, she did you know bedtime and everything by herself. So she understands that it's ah it's a hobby for me and that it's, you know, it's I mean, I don't think a day goes by anymore where I don't pick up my guitar at least for 20 minutes or so.
01:53:33
Speaker
You know what I mean? At some point in the day and she understands what it means to me. you Yeah. No, that's, I think, I think that also makes it that much better. You know, when you have a partner who is supportive, even though it may drive them crazy, yeah like absolutely you know, who still, you know, at times is going to drive her absolutely insane, but at the same time, she's also your biggest fan.
01:53:59
Speaker
know, you know, I mean, Lord knows my fiance and I've had the conversations and it's just like I don't know what to tell you like this is this is what I want to do. You know, um like I mean, I'll give it up if you want me to but and then at the same time, she's also my biggest fan like, you know, the only reason that we have merch is because of her and that's her baby like that. She's she's doing that and she's been my biggest fan like going into the next two weekends where I'm completely stepping out of my comfort zone, but it's made it that much easier because she has been like my number one fan and, you know, rally, trying to rally the troops and, you know, putting stuff out on social media just to support me. So yeah that's awesome that's, that's, that's an amazing feeling when you got somebody who's supportive of, you know, like you said, right now it's a hobby, but you never know. I mean, you know, I wouldn't, you know, I can't imagine that you've completely
01:55:00
Speaker
flipped the switch and turned off the idea of, you know, selling out of stadium one day. No, I mean, hey, God's god's got a plan for us all, you know, you never turn, never turn down a gig. Yeah. yeah you hell You might be, you you might be playing there and in the old Happy Valley, you know, but again right, right dead center in in the middle of the football field.
01:55:23
Speaker
That'd be my wife's dream. She's a graduate of Penn State and that's like, Oh, she's an alumni. Nice. Nice. Pretty sure she wants to be buried there. Nice. That's awesome. Um, I know we're, we're coming up against, and I don't want to keep you too late, brother. I know you got, you got, you got work, you got family, you got the kiddos in bed.
