So really and how's it going?

SPEAKER_03 1:41

It's going well. I've been snacking up on content, getting back to the kind of like the 2017 rap vibe. So it's been cool.

SPEAKER_01 1:47

Is that where your inspiration comes from? Oh yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:49

Who's your favorite?

SPEAKER_03 1:50

Juice World.

SPEAKER_01 1:51

Yeah. Wow. Do you make music videos to go along?

SPEAKER_03 1:55

Oh, yeah, we do. Me and my producer know we do. We usually do we don't ever really have somebody shoot for us, but if we do want something like big, we'll probably do it. But yeah, we do everything ourselves.

SPEAKER_01 2:05

Yeah, you can use Mitch too, because he's good. He's got this kick-ass studio there, too.

SPEAKER_03 2:09

Yeah, that's awesome.

SPEAKER_01 2:10

So when did you decide music was for you?

SPEAKER_03 2:13

Let's see. I went to college for a year right before COVID. I was playing baseball.

SPEAKER_01 2:18

Dude, COVID is like the is like the change.

SPEAKER_03 2:24

Yeah, yeah, it was it was weird. It was a weird time, but yeah. Um came back. Guess it was around December time, and then I was playing baseball, and then baseball kind of stopped, so I wasn't really doing anything. And I started listening to Juice World a lot, had kind of been listening to him. And I was like, you know what, I might as well give it a try. First session did not go well, but yeah. Well, you gotta get your feet wet. I just kept coming back, that was the only thing.

SPEAKER_01 2:47

That's so beautiful. We've been talking about that like all day today about the power if we don't give up.

SPEAKER_03 2:52

Yeah, that's it.

SPEAKER_01 2:52

We gotta keep going.

SPEAKER_03 2:53

It sounds corny, but I mean it's true.

SPEAKER_01 2:55

No, it's a hundred percent true. I'm from Texas. We don't believe in raising quitters. Oh, yeah. We don't raise quitters instead of it.

SPEAKER_03 2:59

A complainer, not a quitter.

SPEAKER_01 3:00

Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_03 3:02

I'll complain, but I'll do it. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 3:04

Yeah. So did you always have a love for music when you were young?

SPEAKER_03 3:07

Honestly, no. My dad wanted me to get in the band and do stuff, but I never really had interest. I was so focused on baseball.

SPEAKER_00 3:14

So your dad had a band card?

SPEAKER_03 3:16

No, he wanted me to get in the band. He wanted me to get a band or do something, yeah. But he wanted me to learn an instrument.

SPEAKER_01 3:21

So that's a pretty cool dad. I wanted my daughter to be a brain surgeon.

SPEAKER_03 3:25

Yeah, he's cool. He did. As much as he loved baseball, he always wanted me to play an instrument.

SPEAKER_01 3:29

So that's so funny. I wanted my daughter to be a brain surgeon. She was like, it's my life, I'll do what I want.

SPEAKER_03 3:34

Yeah, now when I talk about music, he's just like, if I talk about to someone else while he's there, he just tells them how good of a singer he is, so it's funny.

SPEAKER_01 3:41

Oh my gosh, that is so funny.

SPEAKER_03 3:43

He's hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 3:44

So you just decided, like, after one semester of college, you're just gonna go in all in in music.

SPEAKER_03 3:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:49

How'd you find your way? Because this is a city with a lot of talent.

SPEAKER_03 3:52

It is. I kind of just fell off on the place, really. The girl I'm with now, um, a guy was living at her. That would be called a girlfriend, just a girlfriend. Yes, my girlfriend.

SPEAKER_01 4:02

We know that we have anything. He's gonna look back and be like, who the hell is that woman?

SPEAKER_03 4:08

That's good enough for her. It's been a long time. Right, it's okay, right. But um, we went to the same high school. She went to high school with this kid. We were friends. He ended up staying at her house for a long time, wasn't at his house, and then he was actually best friends with Noah. So I met him, told him that I was doing music and stuff, and he was like, Well, I know this guy, I just go hang out with him and uh sit in the studios in during sessions. This is when Sound Studios is really small, so yeah, it was cool.

SPEAKER_01 4:35

Wait, somebody tell me, was it you guys talking to? Somebody tell me now they have Sound Studios in Walmarts.

SPEAKER_03 4:41

Oh, that it is a it's it's like uh it's not a Sound Studios. That's no, that's what he started. That's his business. Okay. But it is in Walmart. I don't know, I think it's like Sound, it's something studio. It's not Sound Studios, but it's something, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

Crazy. Does that blow your mind?

SPEAKER_03 4:55

It's weird. I saw I saw it the other day. I went into a Walmart that had it, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:59

Dude, I would get a bag of tomatoes and a case of Diet Coke and I'd sit there all day long.

SPEAKER_00 5:03

Do you remember, like, at least for me when I was younger, you used to be able to go into Walmart and like buy live lobster at two o'clock in the morning. I've been seeing these memes about this, and I'm like, I forgot that this was a day and an age and I was there for it. You know, you used to be able to go to Walmart and get you a lot. Maybe this is a South Florida thing.

SPEAKER_01 5:20

Alright, I'm gonna tell this on air and then we're gonna get back to your thing. Okay, so I you know, I'm from Texas where Walmarts are bougie, and people go to Walmart for everything. In Philadelphia. That's where I went to college. Oh, yes, I know. We talked about that. You don't you you go to Walmart, you get what you need, and you get the fuck out. Yeah, that's what you do. No, okay. The time before that, I saw a man holding a rotisserie chicken, eating it as he was walking.

SPEAKER_03 5:50

Hey, nothing wrong with that. I like the little popcorn chicken thing.

SPEAKER_01 5:52

Yeah, okay. You can do it, but grown ass big man, he shouldn't be doing that shit. And then wait, did he have a fork or was he just like, no, no, it's his fingers. The rotisserie bear. And then he had a tank tab on, which of course he did. Of course he did. Nobody had a wife beater. And and then last week I went, I'm a grandmom, and I know what you're thinking. How could she be 29 and be a grandmother? Right, thanks so much. And that's what I've been doing. Did Emily tell you? Emily's like, she's delusional, just tell she's 29. Absolutely not. She's like, she's just 29 in her head. So I go there and I'm going in to get some toys from her granddaughter, and there's like four cops, this is the power of Philadelphia right here, four cop cars right outside. I go and did I tell you this story? This is a great story. So I go in and I'm like pushing the cart around, and I hear this security guard seem like, get out of the way, get out of the way. No shit. There is a blonde woman shop writing who's running through the store, ducking in between. So now there's cops in there, there's six cops in there. There, and they're she's ducking underneath in the Walmart? In the freaking Walmart. Right? So she's like, and they can't, these are grown-ass men. They they tackle her. They tackle her, they cuff her, and I'm standing there like, I'm like, I'm like, why didn't I record this? Great value and great entertainment. Right, great value. And I was like, why didn't I record this very nice gentleman, this very nice police officer? He goes, ma'am, are you okay? I'm like, I'm just wondering if you could do that again. I'm sure they could do that again. I'm just wondering. But people don't get it that that Walmarts are bougie. So you went to college in Philadelphia? No, no. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:25

Well, I guess half a year because it got cut off by COVID. And tell me again, where uh Langhorn, Pennsylvania.

SPEAKER_01 7:29

Langhorn, Pennsylvania. Guess what my mailing address is?

SPEAKER_03 7:32

What?

SPEAKER_01 7:32

SPEAKER_03 7:33

Is it really? Yeah, I was at Karen University.

SPEAKER_01 7:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 7:36

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:37

And before became Karen's assholes. Before then.

SPEAKER_03 7:39

Yeah, it was way before. Well, I guess, I mean, I graduated in 2019, so it was right around.

SPEAKER_01 7:43

Right, right around now the Karen's. By the way, they're not, you're not, we're not saying Karen anymore. We're saying the new words Jessica, just so you know. Oh, Jessica. Oh, was it? Okay. Yeah. I don't know why. I really like the whole Karen thing. I was addicted to it.

SPEAKER_03 7:56

Well, we can see that.

SPEAKER_01 7:56

Somebody called me a Karen on social media not that long ago. And I'm like, dude, if you even knew me, like I am the furthest anti-career. I know. It's crazy. So you just started like this is a dream story, by the way.

SPEAKER_03 8:09

It's it's it's still crazy to me. It's weird. Sometimes I don't feel real. Sometimes I wake up, I'm like, eh, what's going on?

SPEAKER_01 8:15

Somebody pinched me, like, with that happen.

SPEAKER_03 8:16

Yeah, it's cool though. I love it.

SPEAKER_01 8:18

So where do you play? Where do you perform?

SPEAKER_03 8:19

Uh I haven't really performed much anywhere. You gotta get out there. Yeah, I did the ring, Nashville. It's like an underground sort of thing.

SPEAKER_01 8:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:25

Um, I did really well there, but I haven't really done anything. Other than that, we've just been dropping a lot of music.

SPEAKER_01 8:30

Does it make you happy that there's a huge hip-hop presence here in the city of country music?

SPEAKER_03 8:34

They've been trying to add on to it.

SPEAKER_01 8:36

Totally.

SPEAKER_03 8:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:37

And you know what? I had a hip-hop artist on um the last time I shot in December. And I had no idea that there was this whole community of other music other than country music. Oh, yeah. Here in Nashville. Right. Like that's amazing. So you have a lot of, I don't want to say co-workers, like a lot of other people that do you collab with other or no?

SPEAKER_03 8:57

Uh sort sort of. We kind of keep it as of right now. We keep it like in the team, Sound Studios team, because we've got a lot of artists that are assigned there. So they're kind of teammates.

SPEAKER_01 9:07

How did you find them?

SPEAKER_03 9:08

That's all through uh Noah, the producer.

SPEAKER_01 9:11

Damn, this kid, you somebody shined some damn price.

SPEAKER_03 9:14

I'm telling you, once I met once I met him, it just kind of started going up from there.

SPEAKER_01 9:18

So took off from there. So are you crazy busy?

SPEAKER_03 9:21

Because I know writing and we write just about I say four days a week. So and then we're not doing that. We do videos and we're always hanging out together. So I'm sure, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_01 9:31

And how did you get to meet Crazy Steven?

SPEAKER_03 9:34

She was the guest on was it last week's podcast? We drop once a we drop once a week. And literally, she's like, Deb is the best like hype girl in the entire world. No, literally.

SPEAKER_03 10:06

Stephon's good at that. Yeah, he is.

SPEAKER_01 10:08

That's really amazing. What do your parents think of this?

SPEAKER_03 10:11

They like it.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

Yeah, I bet.

SPEAKER_03 10:13

They like it. It makes them a little nervous, but they like it.

SPEAKER_01 10:15

Yeah, I bet. They do.

SPEAKER_03 10:16

The normal.

SPEAKER_01 10:17

So if you had to play, like, where are venues here that people could go see hip hop music?

SPEAKER_03 10:23

You know, honestly, I don't know too many. Uh kept up with a few from the ring that I've played at, but usually they'll just go to like they'll just rent spots out, so it's kind of like set up a month before you get tickets. They kind of rent the spots. It's like a rage, kind of. Yeah. Wherever's open, really. Right. That's crazy. That's not doing country music. Right.

SPEAKER_01 10:40

Would you ever collab into country music?

SPEAKER_03 10:43

Uh I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind doing it.

SPEAKER_01 10:46

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 10:46

Maybe a little more on the rap side. Right.

SPEAKER_01 10:49

Post Malone did it.

SPEAKER_03 10:50

That's true.

SPEAKER_01 10:51

You know, he's turned out good. He's got his own friends.

SPEAKER_03 10:53

I mean, yeah, trust me, I grew up here. I grew up out in the country, big trucks, all that stuff. So yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:58

Do you have a I grew up on it? Do you have a love for country music?

SPEAKER_03 11:02

I wouldn't say a love. I mean, I like any kind of music, but if we're saying like what am I turning on when I get in the car, probably not country.

SPEAKER_01 11:08

Yeah, I think, yeah, and country music, and you know, I'm from Philadelphia, so they're like what it's become now. I think in the last 10 years, country music has really come a long way. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 11:19

Oh, it's came a long way.

SPEAKER_01 11:21

Yeah, it's it definitely has. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:28

Yeah, they're they're good. They're really good.

SPEAKER_01 11:30

I think so too. What's 2026 look like for you?

SPEAKER_03 11:35

Bigger? Hopefully, we're gonna be dropping some more. I mean, we drop a song every month. We drop a new song every month, so just really building the fan base is what we're watching.

SPEAKER_01 11:43

Dropping a song a month is a lot of work. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:46

Yeah, it is.

SPEAKER_01 11:47

It is. It is. I mean, I had somebody on earlier that releases a Christmas album every month. I mean, a Christmas album, and it's like it takes all 12 months to get the Christmas album out. It's a lot of studio time.

SPEAKER_03 12:03

It is, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:04

I mean, that's crazy. Do you feel like you live in a studio?

SPEAKER_03 12:06

Uh sometimes. Sometimes a little bit, but we kind of make sure to get out a lot, make sure we don't, you know, it's hard to do it. Dry rot, you don't want a dry rot. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:15

We make sure to then your parents will be like, that's it, send his ass back to energy university in Langhorn, Pennsylvania.

SPEAKER_03 12:20

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 12:21

All of a sudden, then we'd be neighbors. You and I go out for cheesesteaks together. I know. It's not really for where I am from. Um my husband's like job is there, and and I'm gonna be honest, I hate cold weather.

SPEAKER_03 12:36

Oh, I hate it. I'm well, I like the snow. When the one time I or when I was up there, it just wasn't like it was just cold and windy.

SPEAKER_01 12:43

It's cold and windy, yeah. Well, you thank God you weren't there the last time. We got like 14 inches that turned into a sheet of ice.

SPEAKER_03 12:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:49

And it hasn't gone over freezing yet, so it's still the same block of ice. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 12:54

Were you here when we just got the snowstorm?

SPEAKER_01 12:56

No, I wasn't, but Mitch, my team, they lost power for twelve days. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:00

Like Yeah, it was bad.

SPEAKER_01 13:02

That's really bad. Yeah. I'm from Texas originally, and they get the same way.

SPEAKER_03 13:07

They don't handle I'm about to say it's shut down. They have to.

SPEAKER_01 13:11

Well, the infrastructure, which they need to work on the infrastructure here because the traffic is just ridiculous. But in Texas, it's all up because it really very rarely gets cold enough to freeze, so it's all up to accommodate for the amount of people that are there. Right. But you they shut everything down, like because it's terrifying.

SPEAKER_03 13:29

That's how it is here, yeah. Nobody likes it.

SPEAKER_01 13:31

I mean, but I mean, that many days is terrible. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:34

I mean, I like to sled and stuff, but yeah. But not every day in my life. Not for six months. I like to be warm too at the same time.

SPEAKER_01 13:42

Is it nice out today? I haven't even left the building.

SPEAKER_03 13:44

Yeah, it's pretty nice. It's about to rain, I think.

SPEAKER_01 13:46

Is it nice? I think it's like 60. Yeah, it's 64. Wow. Oh, wow, that's beautiful. That's like 40 degrees warmer than it was. I know. I need to get my ass outside. What am I doing here? Yeah, it was nice when I came.

SPEAKER_03 13:58

It's windy though. It feels like Philly out there.

SPEAKER_01 14:00

Does it?

SPEAKER_03 14:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:01

That's so funny. And you're from Nashville. What made you choose Karen University?

SPEAKER_03 14:05

Actually, my best friend that I grew up with, he went to play baseball there and then kind of came to the end of summer. I hadn't decided on where to go, and then I just ended up going there with him. We're roommates, everything.

SPEAKER_01 14:15

What's the greatest lesson you learned from being outside of Philadelphia?

SPEAKER_03 14:19

Outside of Philadelphia?

SPEAKER_01 14:20

Well, that's where Lyinghorn is. It's a suburb.

SPEAKER_03 14:22

Oh, you're talking about being there?

SPEAKER_01 14:23

Yeah, like what's the greatest thing you learned from being in Philly?

SPEAKER_03 14:29

I don't know. I think I learned that there's a lot more mean people in the world than there is than there is in Nashville. I swear.

SPEAKER_01 14:36

It's like you gotta, it's like a it's like a PhD and gangsters, right? Their people are angry. Yeah. And I say this with all love, my Philadelphians, but it's a crazy Oh yeah, I love it.

SPEAKER_03 14:47

I would I would go back there. Oh, it's a great one. If I could go back and live with my friends there, oh I would do it. Yeah. Yeah. Just compared to here, it's just it's such a different thing.

SPEAKER_01 14:55

There's a lot of southern hospitality here that you don't really get in Philadelphia. You know, we were talking earlier on the show about just being nice to people. I'm like, I just don't think they know it. They don't know, they don't get it.

SPEAKER_03 15:04

Oh yeah. Like it's almost stopped saying yes, ma'am. I say yes, ma'am, and yes, sir.

SPEAKER_01 15:09

And then people, they're like, I'm not your grandmother. That's exactly what they told me. I'm not trying to be your grandchild, I'm trying to be respectful.

SPEAKER_03 15:15

That's exactly what they were told. Right. So yeah, it's just a different, it's just a different culture.

SPEAKER_01 15:18

It's a totally different vibe, yeah. But I'm happy you got to experience some.

SPEAKER_03 15:22

Oh, I would I would go back. I like it. Oh, totally. There's a lot to do up there. Plenty of things.

SPEAKER_01 15:26

There is a lot to do. It's very cold in the winters. But it doesn't get as hot as it gets here in the summer. No, it doesn't.

SPEAKER_03 15:33

But I kind of like the hot weather more.

SPEAKER_01 15:34

Do you? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:36

I guess I just got used to it.

SPEAKER_01 15:37

Yeah, it's from being in the south, too. Well, cold. This is the first winter I've spent. Um, I've spent the other ones in Texas. This is the first full winter I've spent in Langhorn, Pennsylvania. And you know what I decided? It's uh, spend the winter in there. I'm like, yeah, I'm like, now I know why I went south because it is it's a long, cold, dreary. Yeah, yeah, it is. It's not even good.

SPEAKER_03 15:59

Yeah, I like it in the south.

SPEAKER_01 16:01

So tell me if we could like, if I had a like crystal ball and I could grant you one wish, what would it be? Ooh.

SPEAKER_03 16:07

Ooh, man. That's fun. That's a tough question.

SPEAKER_01 16:10

True, truthfully. Well, I mean, this is a big deal. We're not gonna hold you to it. It's like a four-year-old who can change it in five minutes.

SPEAKER_03 16:18

I would say right now, just a solid fan base that I could have that shows up to, you know, I could post on my story, hey, I'm doing a show here. Doesn't have to be 10,000 people showing up. Right. I'm good with like a thousand people. That would be a good for me.

SPEAKER_01 16:31

Well, it starts with a thousand and then the next shoot it's ten thousand.

SPEAKER_03 16:33

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 16:34

So, how do you get your fans all through social media?

SPEAKER_03 16:37

Oh, yeah, a lot of social media, which I feel like is how a lot of people do now, but a lot of social media.

SPEAKER_01 16:42

It's huge. It's if you were to be in this industry in any form of music, you have to be. No, yeah, that's good. Don't yeah, like do your own, but don't get attached. What's the greatest compliment you've ever received on social media?

SPEAKER_03 16:56

Oh man, there's so many bad ones on there.

SPEAKER_01 16:59

You know what? You're not even a rock star until somebody hates your ass.

SPEAKER_03 17:03

No. Um I don't know. Someone just commented the other day and said, I've been waiting on this song to drop. So just little stuff like that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:10

So that motive that's motivating. It is. Right? It is to hear nice things. And then you block out all the Karen's who are now Jessica's.

SPEAKER_03 17:16

I mean, I don't listen to them anyways, but right, right.

SPEAKER_01 17:18

And I'm glad that you know that at your age, too, because it is like the first time somebody critique, it's like I equate it to being like a parent, you know, like when somebody says something to your kid, you're like, we're gonna throw some shit down. Yeah, you know, like it is. It's like somebody, it's you take it personally, you take cheap shots very personally. But I've also found that there are 38-year-old people living in their parents' basement playing still playing PlayStation.

SPEAKER_03 17:43

That's all they gotta do to make them kid better. Right.

SPEAKER_01 17:45

If you have to make somebody else feel small, then that's exactly and that's usually who it is saying it all the time.

SPEAKER_03 17:51

Truthfully.

SPEAKER_01 17:52

Would you travel? Would you get like on to go on tour? Yeah. That would be cool.

SPEAKER_03 17:56

SPEAKER_03 18:04

That's my favorite part when I performed. I was just kind of like, I don't know, I was nervous. Didn't really do well in speech class in college, so it was like, how's this gonna go? Right. But it was just a well it's your passion though.

SPEAKER_01 18:15

It's a whole different passion.

SPEAKER_03 18:17

It was just yeah, it's like a blackout moment. Yes, it's cool. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:20

It's a cool um we were talking about this earlier with Emily too. Like, you ride on this great high of, you know, and I'm a very tiny cog in this huge wheel, and you ride on this incredible high, and then the next day you're like, I'm like, what just happened?

SPEAKER_02 18:36

Yeah, that's awesome. That's like the best feeling ever.

SPEAKER_01 18:39

It is, and that high is so intense, you know. Like you could shoot 50. You're like, ah, 50 more. Yeah. And then tomorrow when I fly home, I'll be like on the plane. Yeah, 100%. You know?

SPEAKER_03 18:51

Yeah, that's exactly what it's like. It's like that's what I mean crowd.

SPEAKER_01 18:53

It is, it is, it is, it totally is. And like I have a real job. So, like, besides this, I have a real job that I have to go home to, and and I I want a tour bus.

SPEAKER_03 19:04

We'll get to it. I would do both. I would love to be on a tour bus. Oh my god. I don't mind flying either. I like flying.

SPEAKER_01 19:09

Yeah, I like flying too. I don't like it. I've been with this job and with my other career, I've been flying my whole life. So people are like, I'm driving cross country. I'm like, there's a plane that's great to take your ass across the country.

SPEAKER_03 19:22

Yeah, I'm not really, I don't know. Unless you're in a big van or something.

SPEAKER_01 19:24

If you're in a great big van, that would be amazing. That's what I've always told everybody that I want to take this show on the road. Yeah, that'd be awesome. It would be amazing. Come on there, we'll follow you. You come on the tour bus, we'll do a logo on your side. Would that be amazing? Oh, that would be amazing. I know. My husband's like, I'm trying to retire.

Yeah, it is. It's a great, it's a great way to make a living, sitting here and talking to banners in school all day. Is this your first podcast?

Oh Stefan.

SPEAKER_01 20:29

Stefan, who is Steven, who was the Valley Parker here. Oh, nice. Okay, he was the Valley Barker here, and he fought so hard on your behalf. Because I I shot here one day and then I shot in studio for two days after that. And he he could not say enough wonderful things about you. He couldn't say enough wonderful things about your music, and he was like, Would you have him on the podcast? And I was like, absolutely. He's like, Are you kidding? I'm like, No, I'm not kidding.

SPEAKER_03 20:54

That's why I loved him. He's so good at talking.

SPEAKER_01 20:56

I'm like, totally. He'll totally talk about it. He's a perfect person for a medicine. He is, and I'm like, of course. And he's like, you know, we have a running list of people that want to be on the show. And I'm like, but I knew that, you know, I'm like, well, shoot him on the next round that they come in. He's like, really? I'm like, yeah, I'm not lying to you, sir. You can come along. I don't want to let you down now. I know, it was really funny too, because he's like, he'll feel better if he talks to you. I'm like, dude, I have never kidnapped anybody in my freaking life. Yeah. Like, I'm not gonna bang him up. He's gonna be fine. I'm not gonna bang him up as well. You know what's really amazing about this? Get used to this, like this interaction. This is how you build a fan base.

SPEAKER_03 21:30

Yeah, that's so main reason I kind of wanted to be here. Me too. I mean, this is awesome besides the social media stuff. Oh my gosh. Yes, it is social media, but it's more.

SPEAKER_01 21:39

You're gonna leave here and be like, when can I do that show again?

SPEAKER_03 21:41

Oh, yeah. I'm like I can't wait to be co-host. I'm ready.

SPEAKER_01 21:44

You will be right, right. And I mean that's tough competition right there. But yeah, I'm gonna have to fight him for it.

SPEAKER_03 21:51

We'll see.

SPEAKER_01 21:51

That's she'll co host. She'll we'll get them all in here at the same time. We'll get Timmy McKeever back off tour, we'll bring him in.

SPEAKER_03 21:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:57

We're talking about Timmy earlier and how he just became like an overnight. Success.

SPEAKER_03 22:00

Yeah, that'd be cool.

SPEAKER_01 22:01

He totally wouldn't it? Yeah. It's great. It's really awesome to have a co-host too because especially because you're all in the music industry, right? And you kind of filter off of each other and and I think that's that's completely awesome. So where would you want to play if I could be like, here's where you're playing?

SPEAKER_03 22:16

Man, I'll play at Bridgestone.

SPEAKER_01 22:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:18

If you're going with that question, yeah, I'll play at Bridge. Right.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

That's beautiful.

SPEAKER_03 22:21

I mean, I feel like that's a dream. I grew up here. Right.

SPEAKER_01 22:23

You're not going to play at the Grand Old Opry.

SPEAKER_03 22:26

I could. You could.

SPEAKER_00 22:27

Collab with with absolutely. I'll collab with Selena Carpenter.

SPEAKER_03 22:31

Sabrina Carpenter. Right.

SPEAKER_01 22:34

Absolutely. That's amazing. I love that because I tell people, you know, in my practice, I'm a therapist, I'm a coach. I work with a lot of artists, actually. I coach a lot of artists. Dream big. Like if your dream doesn't scare the ever-living shit out of you, you're not dreaming big enough.

SPEAKER_03 22:51

That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01 22:51

You're settling.

SPEAKER_03 22:52

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:53

You know, and there's no why when you have this whole opportunity where you can do it. Amen. What's the worst thing that's gonna happen? You gotta get a regular job.

SPEAKER_03 23:01

That's what you're about to do anyway. Right.

SPEAKER_00 23:03

There was like a quote, I want to say it was Jim Carrey. He was doing an interview and he was talking about how you could do any job in the world. Right? Say I go and be a doctor. I could fail at being a doctor, I could be unhappy, I could not pass my test, I could do why not go and do something and fail at something that you actually love. Right. That actually lights you up, that you're actually passionate about.

SPEAKER_04 23:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:25

And it's one of my favorite things. That's so true. And and also my whole thing is why would I work for somebody else and build their dream? Exactly. When I can build my own dream, like I'm all this is coordination with my dream. Yeah, well, I'm not sure. Why would I go pay for somebody else's dream when I can pay for the street?

SPEAKER_03 23:41

We're on the same page there for sure.

SPEAKER_01 23:43

Yeah, I mean, it's that's not a looking glass. Like I tell people, I'm like, step two steps to the left out of your own way, and you will realize that opportunity is there for you. Just do it for everybody. And do what you love. If you're gonna be doing this the rest of your life, you better damn well love it.

SPEAKER_00 23:57

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:58

You know? So that's 100%. That's great. So I'm like you're in studio writing. I got can you can you do a little? Can you sing a little fast?

SPEAKER_03 24:06

SPEAKER_01 24:09

Okay. Not right this moment.

SPEAKER_03 24:12

He needs another beer. Yeah, maybe if I have like three or four more beers, I see.

SPEAKER_01 24:16

Somebody get him a shot back up with his beer. That's amazing. Do people recognize you on the street?

SPEAKER_03 24:20

Uh not really. No.

SPEAKER_01 24:21

No. Do people recognize you on the street? Uh sometimes.

SPEAKER_00 24:25

Yeah. What's that feel like? It's really interesting. Like, it's it's super cool because it's like, oh my gosh, like that's just wild to that was a funny sound. Probably. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:39

We've had puppies running through here.

SPEAKER_00 24:40

Everybody here is a dog.

SPEAKER_01 24:42

I'm like, this has been the craziest shoot we've ever had.

SPEAKER_00 24:44

Um it's definitely very interesting though, because it's super cool getting to experience that, but also at the same time, it kind of makes you realize that you never know who could be watching you when you're like out and about doing whatever. So you kind of in that sense, I feel like whenever I go out to an extent, I have to be on to a certain level. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:03

Or just that will happen to you. People will start to recognize you, and you realize then that you know you can't be an asshole in Starbucks.

SPEAKER_03 25:11

Oh yeah. Oh, I'm not worried about that. Right. Yeah, right, exactly. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:15

I think that's amazing. You do, you start to we I used to stay at a different hotel and I'd walk in and they'd be like, There's happy hour with Deb. I'm like, done a lot in my life now. Hell yeah. Somebody's grandmother, for God's sake. Yeah.

It's time to walk. When you walk out this door today, I want you to say, Thank you to the universe for abundance.
