deep breath and was like, Okay, so this went on

Hey.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
We like to start the show off with a segment
we call what You're mad at? And you can be
glad at something or what's you mad at? But since
you're a listener, you probably already know. You probably already
know the song.

Speaker 6 (06:59):
It got you mad? Just let us what it is.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
What you're mad at?

Speaker 5 (07:05):

Speaker 5 (07:16):
What you're mad at? Is that the melody? Sorry?

Speaker 4 (07:20):
I thought you made sip of coffee.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
I am mad at myself because of how directionally challenged
I am. And like I was on the way trying
to think, like, gosh, what am I mad at today?
What could I what's my answer for that? And then
I got lost and I was like, well it's me,
I am. I can't ever like coming to Nashville or
coming to this. Well, I didn't really get lost. I

(07:48):
just like, of course had to do a loop around
which I can never make it somewhere in one try.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, you know what I mean, Like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
But that's kind of understand. I mean this is kind
of a wacky to to road.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Wacky.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Well, I've how long have you lived here?

Speaker 5 (08:01):
Oh my entire life, oh twenty five years? And I've
finally figured out like music row, you know, like at
first it was so confusing. Now I kind of understand.
It's like you got to find the alley and then
go through the alley to get to the parking lots
usually behind the building that's right anywhere else that's not

(08:22):
like a neighborhood. I told, like literally, I told my
manager the other day. We were trying to meet somebody
for like a breakfast, and I was like, listen, parking
lot is not in front of the building.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
We're not exclusively for that going home.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
I'm not making it to feel.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
That I'm mad at boxes that are hard to open,
like like, for instance, we got this Costco huge bag
or a huge box of.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Kitchen trash bags. And it's not like it's not.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Just like the pole of the box just doesn't open easy.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
It's so hard to open.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
It's like they've glued everything, every corner down. They glue everything,
so if you don't have a knife, bro, you're like
and you're ripping it. And yesterday I was, I was
opening it trying to get trash bags out, and I
had to like I had to like run my hand
up under it to try to open the whole top,
and it slipped between Oh it's slipped between paper cut

(09:23):
in between cardboard cut, not even paper cardboard cut in
between my pinky and this finger, and I might as
well have broken back.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
It's not in a spot where you can ignore it either.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
It's the work I'm just having been doing like this
all days, so it will like fuse back together. And
if they have just had an easy like simple you know,
the little the little lid that come down and you
put the you flip the thing and then open it.
If they had just done that been I wouldn't have
had a cardboard cut between them.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, why all the drama, right, it's pretty dramatic. I'm mad.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
I'm mad guys that know how to duck call trying
to tell you how to duck call when you ask
for because it's the same sha hey, ray, it's gonna
be real loud.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
So here's what.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Here's what duck here's what. Because I can actually do it,
here's what duck guys said. Okay, let's have a conversation. Okay, okay,
see I'll be the professional duck caller you Okay, I'm
over here.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
They're coming in power shoot stops p Like, hey man,
we just got in front duck hunt.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
I'm the guy, right, I'm the duck guy that everybody
like the pro. I'm the pro. I'm telling everybody kill
them there.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, so we admittedly, so this this is what. This
is a conversation. Hold on, We admittedly are not duck hunters.
Like we go a couple times a year. Somebody asked
us to go.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
We go.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Then we get all fired up about it. We're like,
we gotta we gotta learn how to do it. We
gotta get a place. We gotta Okay. So yeah, this
is so and they all have different as. Everybody tells
them to ask you for help.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
This is how it goes. Remember, I'm pro me ask you, Robert,
he asked, man, give me like give me like the
short Oh yeah, you just go like this. No, no, no,
it's more like from the gut, you got to push
the air, push the air.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Now you're the guy. I mean no, that's wrong. No, wrong,
more like from your no. See now you're grunting. I
don't need you to grunt.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
I need you. It's just a I'd be like, you
just do it, and that's what happens. That's what happens. Yeah,
you eventually just go like.

Speaker 5 (11:20):
Yeah, it's I I get it. I'm always like I'm
finally that I finally got to the age where I'm
like confident enough to ask, Like I'm confident enough to
be like, okay, I don't know, like can you teach
me how?

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Same?

Speaker 5 (11:32):
But when I was younger, I was like, we'd go
I don't duck hunt either. I grew up deer in
turkey hunting and that was really it. And like once
every few years we'd go on a duck hunt with
like my dad and his friends. And my dad loves
to duck hunt, but he's not a duck hunter either,
and so I would always be so nervous. I'd be
like fourteen, trying to act like yeah, I already know,

(11:53):
I know everything, and I wouldn't ask. I would just
say silent. There's a God forbid. Somebody hand me a
duck call.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
I feel like we should be to the point. I'm back.
I'm back, new guy. Hey, shout out King's calls right
quick for that call. Appreciate kings calls. He's got the
custom God's country on.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
I wish I could just rip it, make it sound
real good.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Give him, give him, give him, give him, give him
cut down.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
That's better than I could not doing it.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
That's all I can do.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Need some help anyway, you guys, If anybody wants to
actually give us some tips on how to blow a
duck call, that would be appreciate.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Somebody who's nice about somebody who's not like a boss.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
There's a pressure that comes with not being a duck
hunter at a duck hunt too, because it's what you're
talking about. It's because, like one, there's the calling going
on so you just feel like you're just like.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Riding the coach. I don't like being the thanks for
you know.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
But then there's also like there's also like you can't
shoot before everybody or you screw the whole thing up.
And like if the duck comes, you know, on your side,
and he's like, why.

Speaker 6 (13:00):
Don't you kill that dog?

Speaker 4 (13:00):
But here's what you're like, what I didn't look let me,
you didn't tell you, you didn't tell me to And
I don't want to be that guy.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Let me just say this. The guy that we're talking about,
his name is Brian Wright.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Great, he's the best great shot out the four boat boat.
That's this, that's this company should probably sponsor us. There
is one for free, give us one for free or too,
even though we're not duck hunters. Yeah, we'll figure something
out to do with it.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
And he but he's just like, so I'm like a
dugle flying, why don't you shoot that.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I'm like, well, you didn't tell me to shoot, you
didn't give me the green light. You gotta know when
to shoot, you know.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
If he comes down, I'm like okay, And so then
you know, you pop one off and he's like I
didn't say shoot you.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Dan ruined the whole volley for everybody. Quit calling down there, Dan.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yeah, Dan shot a female hen teel Well, there were sixteen.

Speaker 1 (13:47):

Speaker 5 (13:56):

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Okay, we don't.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
I'll say this about island is it's like you're hunting
a refuge. He's got a twenty five hundred acre island
on the Mississippi that he feeds all these ducks. Of
a radar of a weatherman sent him a picture last week.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Like a Memphis weatherman. It's right there next.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
And it was like a precipitation radar and so it
showed clouds and over his island was all blue and
clouds and it was a blue sky.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
It was the ducks. Oh wow, that's how many. That's
how many ducks. It's odd. It is unbelievable. I would
go do that totally.

Speaker 4 (14:33):

turnhind and stuff. But like you're an outdoors woman, an outdoorsman.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
Term either way.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
Either way, where did that? Where did that start for you?
As like as far back as you remember?

Speaker 5 (14:49):
Yeah, well from my dad. My dad is from South
Mississippi and just Waynesboro. It's like right on the Alabama line,
north of o Real, south real, tiny town.

Speaker 1 (15:03):

couple of hours.

Speaker 1 (15:08):

Speaker 5 (15:10):
I mean yeah, start her on the coast. Well, I

Speaker 5 (15:30):
Enemy territory?

Speaker 1 (15:31):
What made you? What made you decide? Am Ole Miss?

Speaker 5 (15:34):
So my parents went there. It's like deep runs deep.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
And family we really don't like each other.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
Dude, we can we have like a dark history, dark
family history. But yeah, my parents went there, and I like,
I just we grew up going to the grove and
going to the games, and I just absolutely loved it.
I never I literally didn't apply anywhere else. I was
just like That's where I'm going.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
I thought, you never feel like maybe or pretentious towards
other campuses.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Or people did. I was, I like, you're the only
one that matters in the world. Well, yeah, I mean yeah,
did you ever say we never lost a party?

Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yeah? I totally said. There was a time when I
was like, yeah, we never lost a party. I thought
it was so fun.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
I could tell the most omous thing I've ever heard.
That's what they used to say. I mean, it's true,
But now you are really good, dude, are we?

Speaker 5 (16:31):

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Pretty good? Well, you're just better than us, and that's
all I need to know. Yeah, that's not basketball. We
just got youall at basketball, but football kill us. Yeah.
Lane Kiffin's changed the game down there. I do love
Lane Kiffin hijacked the initial question. Yes, what was the question?

Speaker 5 (16:47):
How did I get into the outdoors?

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
So my dad's a Mississippi and my mom is from here,
but they met at Ole, miss and moved back here afterwards.
And I mean, he just absolutely loves turkey and deer hunting,
but mainly turkey hunting. And I think like the first
thing he did when he moved here with my mom
was like, fine, a hunting lease, and he did, and
so literally ever since, ever since, I was a kid,

(17:12):
I've been going with him, and I have three sisters,
so he really was like, Okay, surely I'll have a
son and he'll turn with me. Yeah, And then he
had four girls and all of us tried it, like
all my sisters like kind of gave it a try,
but never really it didn't really stick. And for some reason,
I just loved it ever since I was a little kid,

(17:34):
Like I just I loved going with him and watching
and I also it was like our time to it's
been together, and I just it's always just been my escape.
Like when I go out there, it's like I kind
of have this rule with myself where I'm not allowed
to worry about anything, like I'm not I don't bring
it out there. I don't, I don't really look at

(17:56):
my phone, and I just it's just my escape.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
It that's awesome.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
What's your And I know you probably have a ton,
but like, does one come to mind when I say,
what's what's your greatest hunt memory with your dad?

Speaker 6 (18:09):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (18:09):
Gosh, I mean, I mean when I killed my first
turkey probably I was maybe like Dean somewhere around there,
And of course that was an awesome memory. I'll never
forget that. But also I just like I just have
it's always like our best conversations happen like either in

(18:32):
the woods or in the car or on the way
to get there, Like we have this kind of we
have like this ritual that it's just like we list
of songs we always listen to, like on our way
out or on the way home, sometimes on the way
home when we're celebrating, And that's what I always remember
that another like what are they?

Speaker 1 (18:48):
What are some of the songs?

Speaker 5 (18:49):
Sorry, Am Marrilla's guy, Jason Eldan, The Outsiders, Eric Church
Guys of New Orleans. Really any I do?

Speaker 7 (18:59):
I do too?

Speaker 5 (18:59):
It's kind of underrated totally.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
That's the same the Outsider's record.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
No it's on the mister missus, but really, any Eric
Church song counts. And then also break up in a
small town My dad is opset.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Is that one of the talk usually on.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Our way home or like either either we're celebrating or
we're just like that was a fun day.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
That one is like I saw you over there, I
knew what se.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Around really made fun of that song for a long
time because of the talkie, I mean everybody did. But
what if we just did that. Like in our conversations,
we're just like, so, Lauren, it's so good to say
thank you for coming.

and we'll compare notes.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
After I saw a quote.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
I'm gonna mess this all up, but there's a famous
outdoor rider whose last name is Rourke, and he said,
the one of the best parts about hunting fishing is
the anticipation of going and then then talking about it once.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
You get back.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
Oh my god, Yes.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
It's great. I really identified with that. I do too, jump.

Can you clean that up for me? Can you clean that?
Can you clean that quote up for me? I said
it wrong, but care clean it up for me. I
mean you could just look it up and make sure
I'm not destroying that. I think that's I mean, I
think that's right because I find.

Speaker 5 (20:28):
Know whether that was correct or not. That that is
so well said, Like I have so many memories of
like as soon as we get in the car, me
and my dad will rehash and then he is going
to call five at least five of his friends and
just tell him what happened and he'll call his dad
and it's just the best. It's like it just I

(20:51):
don't know, I love that, Like it just makes me.
It just reminds you how passionate like he is about it.
And everybody, all his friends want to hear, like they
want to hear it.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
I want to hear. I want to hear.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
I mean we did that. We got buddies who have
kids now. I mean we used to call each other
about us killing things. But now it's just like Jonathan
called us with his his son had killed his first
buck and he facetimes like.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
Hey, mister Dan, I shot my first.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
It's like and I want to hear and uh, I
mean yeah, that's that's part of it, right, Like the call.
And we used to always remember we used to always
call our grandparents Dad be like, Paul, really like to
hear about you.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, we called them up. I get it.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Did you find it nothing? Maybe I made that up
all right?

Speaker 4 (21:36):
Quote, I will totally say I will from now I
say this thing. You know, I thought about it and
I always said that, Yeah, I've always said that. Ever
so I was little I think the first thing I
ever said, well when it comes to my thesis on
but it's kind of all you got, right, is like,
is because most people are sorry that you have guys tape,

(21:58):
Yeah you're good. Sorry is most people aren't getting filmed,
most people aren't taking cameras out there.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
So like, the only the only recapturing.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
Of this that you have is in your head, yeah,
talking about and then when you talk about it, And
that's what these do, right, Like I don't. I don't
put wall or animals on the wall. So people walk
in and go, oh my gosh, look at that buck,
Like when I look at that deer. For me, I
go straight back to that to the deer stand.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah, or that.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Season where I lost a publishing deal hunting that deer
in Illinois and that whole thing.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
You know, so like and I can't.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
I love to tell that story over and over because
it just it brings it back in my head. And
that's some of the best you know, some of the
best things or days of hunting is is when those
stories happen.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
Yeah, no, I I totally I agree. We have in
my find it.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
So it's not yours.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Okay, good, I'm gonna put my you know how Michael
Scott does that, like.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Those shots you don't take Michael Jordan quote Michael.

Speaker 5 (22:59):
Scott, Michael himself in Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
All right, So speaking of go ahead, you.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
Have something well, I was just going to say, we
we have like in our in my parents' garage, we
have kind of like our trophy wall, and it's got
all these turkey fans and beers and and antlers, and
it's so cool because it's like you say, like I
I bet my dad could tell you each one like
I was killed and then on the refrigerator, you know,
like the beer fridge is outside. We have all these

(23:29):
old pictures and there's some from us and then some
are from like my granddad and my great granddad, and
it's just like a timeline.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
I mean that's exactly what this book is.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
So I mean, like, is this your did you get
this made?

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah? Yeah, I mean I made it.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
That's a great gift to get out.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
I mean it's got like there's read from when he
was a little.

Speaker 5 (23:51):
Oh that's awesome because here's what was Because.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Here's what happens. Now you can there's your boy. You
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Still looking over still looking good right there, looking like
I got my hair parted.

Speaker 5 (24:07):
It's awesome.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
But I'll tell you what why I.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Love these is because now everything's on our phones. Yeah
you know what I'm saying. Yeah, stuff, Well, you just
like it's not it's hard to go back, it's hard
to hold it. Yeah, you know, they get lost. Yes,
So I'm trying to like make one of those every
four or five years.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
That's a great idea. I'm going to steal this idea.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Still, it's great. You'll have to make over for your dad. Yeah,
Oh it's so. I mean, I'm sure.

Speaker 5 (24:32):
He's definitely gonna listen to this.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
So just forget that, I forget that. You don't not
making you that.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
You'll have to show me where how you got that?

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, super easy.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
I do have a question about So I have a
little girl, Reid has a little girl.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
They're a little bitties. How old are mine's five? Is
two and a half?

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I can't believe there's still too we have. So we
have two that were born like basically the same day. Really,
my son was born. His daughter was born like within
thirty twins.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Wow, Yeah, they're.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Like twins pretty much at the same hospital.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
They fight each other. That's awesome. Yeah, it's like my
daughter will get along with everybody except boone. Yeah, they
just like this is just this head dock.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
So they But but my question is, is I know
how to intro boys to the hunting Lionstone. I know,
you start small, they shoot twenty baby guns, twenty two's
not scared of the pop. Yeah, you have three sisters.
Your dad raised y'all to at least try. I don't
know if the other ones, whether it took or not.
But my point is, my question is how do you

(25:37):
feel like he went about it in order to instill
the love and and and not like terrify you or
scare you with your sins or for.

Speaker 5 (25:47):
Oh that's a good question. I really don't know. I mean,
I was so maybe this is part of the thing,
but I was so young when he first took me
out that like I barely even I don't remember how
I mean, I remember like the hunt, but I don't
remember how he presented it.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
You know, what, were you ever scared of guns?

Speaker 5 (26:06):
Yeah? I was. At first I wasn't and then I remember,
like after shooting a twenty age for the first time,
I was probably just really little and he used to
like get behind me and like pretty much take the
kick and that was fine. And then maybe the first
maybe the first time I shot it alone, but there
was a point where I remember I was like really

(26:28):
shell shocked, and it like after that for a couple
of years, like every time I'd go to shoot again,
I would like totally and like it would scare me. Yeah,
I mean everybody is like when you're little, you can't.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
But still it's just still a thing.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
For we can give you maybe the expert duck hunter.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Shooting lessons.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, yeah, I think the thing is is, like you know,
I see when I talk to people and they're like,
it didn't really take for me.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
I was just always scared of the gun.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
And that's like a fear for me because I don't
want to introduce my kids too early. Yeah, but there's
also the too late thing, yeah, trying to balance it out.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
Well, I remember after I wish I could remember how
old I was when this happened, but I don't. But
like when I was like scared of the I got
scared of shooting, and my dad was like, well you
can just why don't you just come with me, Like
you don't have to shoot. You don't have to shoot,
you can just come with me. And so I was like, oh,
all right. So then for a couple of years I

(27:28):
just would go with them and I wasn't about that
at all.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
That's answering my.

Speaker 5 (27:33):
Okay, yeah, really just say you don't have to just
come with me. It'll be fun. I'll do the shooting.
And then eventually I was like.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
All right, I want to do that.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
Yeah, I'm not a baby because it.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Probably loses the the immediate because look, man, it's an
intimidating thing. You talking about, super loud, super projectile, like
dangerous all of a sudden. I remember it being like
the first thing in my life that I was introduced
to that could like kind of kill me, you know
what I mean. So that's a scary thought when you're

(28:09):
fo Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, and the killing of something else, like it's.

Speaker 5 (28:13):
A serious thing. Yeah, it is a heavy thing.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Deserves to be respected.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Today on the ride end, I said to my little
girl's names Liza, and I said.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
You turkey hunting movie this year?

Speaker 2 (28:24):
She said, I think I'll start with a cross guns across,
gun across.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, like that that was pretty that's a great idea.
It doesn't kick right now for school and everything else.
I'm so glad.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
It's like you deer hunting all that, but I'm glad
like turkey hunting is your thing because I'm in turkey mode.

Speaker 5 (28:50):
Like, yeah, it's getting getting close. Deer season is pasty.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
I'm really I'm really excited about hearing you caught in
your first turkey last spring.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
I did I want I want from the job.

Speaker 5 (29:04):
So I well, like I said, like I grew up
going with my dad and so everything I know is
like he's taught me. And I got, like I said,
I've gotten to this age where I'm like, Okay, I
want to learn for myself, Like I want to be able,
like if he's able, if he's ever not able to go,
like I want to be able to still go and
like not just let him do everything. And so several

(29:26):
years ago, I started trying to learn how to call.
And my dad is just an awesome caller. Podcast is
going to be about him, yeah, I mean anything, like
really yeah, but he'll use both at the same time
and like he's just really good at it. So even
when I started to learn, there was never a reason
for me to I was going to screw us up
like I would just like let him do it. And

(29:47):
then last year, he the day before, the night before
opening day, he got sick. He was like, I can't
go tomorrow, and I was like, well then I'm gonna
go by myself. Sorry, I'm still going. And I was like, well,
this is I got to put it to the test
a me.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah, this is a drive to property.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Yeah, drive to We've got like a lease a little
bit outside of town. So it's literally just get up
in the morning, real early. Yeah, it's probably like thirty minutes.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Has he had least for as long as I've It's
just like our death. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
It was.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
That's the thing in itself of like having to get up,
get all the stuff, oh yeah, get the truck.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
Like yeah, it's not like we have some fancy camp
out somewhere like that. Get off at my apartment and
you could go. So I got up and I went
and hunted like all day and didn't kill anything, like
you know, it was a it was fun, but I
didn't kill anything. And I left and I was like, dang, well,
I'm going to get up and go tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
I mean, did you hear birds? Did you?

Speaker 5 (30:48):
Yeah? Yeah. I mean I was there was like I
was chasing turkeys all day. So it's just like the
next I was like, I'm gonna go the next day,
and I thought like I had just been there so
long that I was like I'm just gonna kind of
leave him alone and go at like nine, Like I'm
not gonna go first thing in the morning. I'm gonna
go like nine and will my husband. He was like,

(31:09):
we just bought a piece of land too, and he
was like, well, I'll go with you. We can go
to our place. And I was like, listen, I love you,
but I gotta go do this by myself, like I
have something to prove here. And he was like okay.
So I got up the next day, went at like
nine and went and set up in our There's like
a field over here, and I was there for a
little bit and then there's like another field, big old

(31:31):
field with like surrounded by woods, and we have kind
of like a regular spot where we sit over there,
like way out the end of the field. So I
was like, all right, I'm gonna go. I'm just gonna
go there. I'm gonna go to the Old Faithful College.
It's like mid day, Yeah, it's probably like ten or
so at this point. And before you get into the field,

(31:52):
there's kind of like this little rise, and so I
like you got to creep up slowly, like I knew
they were going to be. I just like had a
feeling they were going to be out there in the field.
So I creep up this little rise and I look,
and sure enough, there's like three gobblers all strutting way
out there, and I'm like, my heart is pounding, and

(32:13):
I just kind of like I sit there and I'm like, well,
I can't go I can't go through the field, and
I can't go through the woods because they're literally right
here in between me and the woods. And so I
kind of just like sat where I was. I just
dropped down, like at the top of this rise and
shaky hands pull out my box call and I have

(32:35):
this old it's actually my great it was my great
granddad's box call. I'm the fourth generation to kill turkeys.
And I actually called my granddad yesterday to make sure
I had my story straight on this. But it was
his old call and it was his dad's and it's
Lynch is one oh one?

Speaker 8 (32:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Did you call him? In prep for the show?

Speaker 5 (33:01):
Yo, Yeah, I called. I was like, I need to
make sure and he so that's a whole another story.
I can tell you all that after, but it's anyway,
he said, he's he said he's probably killed like twenty
or thirty turkeys with that call. And so anyways, I
pull it out and I just remember, like my dad

(33:21):
always told me, which I'm sure y'all have been told
this too, but he'd just be like, don't overcall, just
let him know you're there. Let him know you're there.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
So I like, hit it once, especially if you're that close.

Speaker 5 (33:31):
Yeah, I mean we weren't close.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
I mean close enough.

Speaker 5 (33:34):
They're in the field. It's probably like two hundred.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
Yeah, that's a perfect scenario though, to get one to
come check it out, because you got three gobblers strutting.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
There's probably a hand somewhere.

Speaker 4 (33:44):
Yes, there was only one gobbler's going to get that hand,
but you got that you got one guy, one.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Gay What was that over here?

Speaker 5 (33:54):
So I hit it once and one gobbled back. And
that's when I was like, it's hell, yeah, I can
do this. And so you're doing it literally do I mean?
And that was the first time i'd like I had
gone by myself a couple times before this, like years before,
and like called and just nothing like I had never
had that happen, where like he responded to me and

(34:16):
I was like okay. And so anyways, that went on
for like a little while, just kind of going back
and forth, and then they start coming to me, and
like all three of them. And I don't know if
I'm explaining this well, but the field it's like, you know,
there's a couple of little ditchs in it. So they
start coming to me, and I know they're going toward
this dip where I'm not going to be able to
see him anymore. And then that's right where they go.

(34:38):
That's right where they went, and I'm like, all right,
I know it's going to be like a minute before
I see him again, because sometimes you know, they'll just
sit there where they start walking, and so it's like
a while and I'm I call a couple more times
they call back to me.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
So if you are you like gone up on your
shoulder ready to shoot.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
Kind of, I'm like sitting I'm like sitting on like
at the edge of this field, so I don't really
have my gun up yet.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
She's kind of like in my left ready some shit something.

Speaker 5 (35:06):
It's ready, Like I could get it up fast if
I needed to do. And so anyways, I I tell
really long winded.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Stories, by the way, so you can cut this out
of podcast.

Speaker 5 (35:19):
So they get in this little dip and I don't
see him for a while, and then it's been like, honestly,
it probably was like ten minutes. To me, it feels
like an hour. I have absolutely no idea how much
time has passed. And I'm like, I don't know what, like,
I don't know if they're still there or what like,
I have no idea. And then all of a sudden,

(35:41):
out of the corner of my left eye, I see
a head poss and they went like if I'm if
I'm here in the dips over here, they like went
this way you came around, and I'm like, oh my god,
like I'm gonna die. And so that's when I got ready.
I knew, like, I gotta get ready.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
And how far is the burd at this point, probably
like forty yards, oh shoot close, So I just got
to get to where I can get set up on him.

Speaker 5 (36:08):
And also, if there's anything else I've learned, it's to
just not rush it, like I've missed plenty of turkeys,
just being like.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
I'm gonna take the shot.

Speaker 5 (36:15):
Yeah, And so I got ready, I kind of turned
and all there was like five of them, I think
at this point, like there's more than I thought. At
first I thought there was like three. There's like five
at this point. I just picked the longest beard and
I shot him. Wow and yeah, and he was down. Yes,
And I was like like the biggest flood of emotions,

(36:36):
like I just I don't know. It was the craziest,
coolest thing. And you know, I kind of let him
sit for a second, popped around for a little bit,
and then I went and got him and I immediately
faced own my dad. He was like about to cry
him cry.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Yeah, how proud of it?

Speaker 2 (36:54):
I mean you just linked your family chain link to
that entire history hunting history, yeah, which is so cool,
Like and I'm sure it would have been it would
be mega emotional for me, you know if that were
Eliza jamesitting there and I'm like, man, she is obviously,
I mean just carried And I'm not saying you have
to let me just clarify that you don't have to

(37:16):
kill something in order to.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Carry your family. The Honting.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
You were already carrying it what you're saying. But to
know that you, you know, just the same box call,
that's pretty special.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
And I didn't. I actually didn't know it at the time,
Like I didn't know the history, which I'm kind of
glad because I probably would have gotten really too nervous.
But like they told me afterwards, they were like, I
mean my granddad was Lord, oh yeah, I'm sure he's
so funny. He was like, now that call, that's four
generations a lot can stucky hunt right there.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
And I'm sure too, like for your dad, and I
know there's plenty of female hunters out there, but like
for your dad like wanting the boy to to take
hunting and to not sure if having four girls, if
he would even if any of you would like hunting
or anything, but to get that call and I mean, yeah,
have someone to give it absolutely yeah, and pass those

(38:12):
things down to and share those moments with special man,
that's that's awesome.

Speaker 5 (38:16):
So now I'm like mega addicted, because before you know,
it was it was always fun. But then now that
I've like I know I can do it by myself,
I'm just like, all right, let's go again. I'm just
it's I have a new a new appreciation for it.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
I think you are.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
You are stepping into like a new degree of woodsmanship.
When you start doing that, it just completely changes opens
the door to a lot of things. Yeah, a lot
of mistakes as well a lot of learning fast. But
it's it's uh that that really solidifies you as as

(38:53):
like as what you know one hundred like knowing what
to do and what moves to make, and well, I
can't call them off this ridge because they normally go
this way. But if I set up over there, there's
no cover, so I need to be here in case
they double back. It didn't happen today, you.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
You're just constantly learn You're learning the animals, yes, totally,
instead of just going on do you think dad, which
just look nothing wrong with it. There is nothing wrong
with that. But becoming your own individual hunter, that's a
pretty special journey.

Speaker 5 (39:22):
Thank you. And you're right, I do like and I'm
so not I have so much to learn, but that's
kind of the cool thing, Like totally. I think it
takes a level of like confidence to be like, Okay,
I don't know everything. I'm going to ask and I'm
going to mess up and totally figure it out, and
then that's what makes you better. Like I wasn't learning
anything by just pretending like I knew everything. Yeah, saying silent.

(39:47):
Now I feel like I'm learning.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
More sure, And the drive of that, like the addiction
you said to the two turkey hunting now, will propel
you to learn more, to watch YouTube videos, to watch
more shows, to get out there more by yourself and
figure it out.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Okay, I know, I know we got a music, but
can you tell me about this squirrel hawk?

Speaker 5 (40:05):
Yes, oh my gosh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
We gotta do music. Otherwise we'll talk about hunt.

Speaker 5 (40:10):
Have you ever done that?

Speaker 4 (40:11):
This is the first time I've ever heard of Okay, well,
I mean you've heard of like eagles catching, you know,
like fish out dogs.

Speaker 5 (40:17):
And so my dad has a friend who lives in
Alabama and he's got like an awesome honting camp down there.
So the past couple of years we've gone down there
to deer hunt, and you know, like we're there for
a few days, so it's like we deer hunt most
of the time. But this guy, he's so funny. He's like,
I got this friend he he squirrel hunts with hawks,

(40:39):
like y'all want to do that one day? And we
were like what, yeah, though you do?

Speaker 1 (40:45):
Yes, what does that mean?

Speaker 5 (40:47):
And it was literally like these these guys they do
they call it falconry. It's like they literally train hawks
or falcons. But I think these were hawks. They're different,
not really there is, but it's like the same sport.
I guess you could say the same sport for sure,
same concept. Yeah, And so they have falconry. It sounds

(41:11):
like fancy.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
It sounds like.

Speaker 8 (41:15):
It does.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
Sounds like a new artist that just came to town. Falcony.

Speaker 5 (41:20):
Have you written with falcony?

Speaker 1 (41:21):
It is incredible.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
She needs a single, I think. But anyways, so these
guys they bring their hawks, and actually it was a
man and his wife, and I was like about a
power couple, and they each had their own and they
basically take these hawks and they're very, very trained and
take them through the woods. And they had, like us

(41:45):
and some other people, basically just you're just watching them.
You're not doing ship, You're just watching them do their thing.
And we had sling shots and we'd like slingshot a
rock up into the trees to like shake the squirrel
out of it, and this squirrel would run and the
hawk would like basically get on the squirrel and start

(42:05):
chasing it limb to limb, And they have these bells
on the like tied on the hawk's feet so you
can hear where it is.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
It's sick.

Speaker 8 (42:13):
It is.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
I don't know how to explain it other than like
it is the most electric feeling when like you hear
the squirrel go and the bells start ringing, and you're like,
oh my gosh. So we're literally and it's it's so funny.
Where their camp is. It's like this small town and
it's just a bunch of hunting camps and like locals
and stuff, and all these people just I don't know

(42:36):
who these people were. They came out of the woodworks
to watch this happen. Literally next thing you know, there's
like twenty rednecks all just running through the.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
World watching this.

Speaker 5 (42:44):
Definitely, we're like, who are these people? Are they? Within
then on our friend is like, no, they just live here.
They just wanted to come to run. Yet, I mean,
they kill remember a bunch, not nothing crazy, like a handful.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
I guess are they bringing them?

Speaker 4 (43:05):
Are they killing them? Are they bringing them back? Like
Are they fetching them and killing them and like dropping
them in the guys? Oh yeah, I'm sure. But I'm like,
are they like dropping a flying back and landing with
the squirrel or you got to go get the squirrel?

Speaker 5 (43:18):
No, they fly, they bring it to you. Yes, they retreat.
It is the craziest thing, and it's really badass. It
feels like it gives you kind of some American problem.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Yeah, hell yeah, this is crazy. Yeah, get them squirrels.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Dunt why we should train an eagle?

Speaker 1 (43:37):
Dude? If we could train a eagle.

Speaker 8 (43:39):
To do that?

Speaker 1 (43:39):
Yeah, I mean there's a couple on the leg. Well
here's my question.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
I mean you're talking about like those are protected bird,
like federally protected birds.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
So I think I'm going to watch the YouTube videos.

Speaker 5 (43:49):
What would be the difference of taking I would explain
it better than.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
I am, but I just I don't understand how you
can have ownership of a bird like that takes.

Speaker 5 (44:00):
It is a long process. I think there would have
to be some fully licensed yeah, very very regulated, Like
you can't. I'm pretty sure these people like go through
courses and courses training. I couldn't just go buy a hawk.
Let's go get but they literally have I mean like
they literally have it in a in a cage in

(44:22):
the back of their trucks and they take it out
and it just sits up on their arm. They did
have names. I can't remember it. But this one old guy,
he was awesome. He was just the coolest. He had
on a sweatshirt, a bright orange sweatshirt, and it was
just on the back it had like a like a

(44:43):
black silhouette of a hawk and it said much well, no,
his daughter made it for him and it said death
from Above. And y'all, I was like, I love that sweatshirt.
Where did you get that? He literally took it off
and gave it to me.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
I should have brought it today, but so I have
that had a picture of you and the death from
a book.

Speaker 5 (45:01):
And then he told me his daughter made it for him.
I was like, you're giving me this once? He was like, no,
she'd make another one. She got a little printing machine
for Christmas. He wasn't taking over an answer.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
That's awesome, all right? We got from above? Man, Wait
real quick, let.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
Me just do this.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
If you had a hawk, the name, what would you
name your hawk? To catch squirrels? Don't say hawk to
it or you're fired.

Speaker 5 (45:30):
I was gonna say, hawk is even like a strong Let.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Me just think what's your like you? I think I
think I'm just naming mind Ricky. I think I'm going
to like I think I'm going like Rambow. You gotta
stay in the theme. Yeah, like you got it? Like
see that's why I'm going the way. I think I'm
just going. I think my Ricky the hawk. Wait, here's
the video. If you just had a guess, is that me? Yeah?

(45:56):
I don't think that was you. That thing's big. Yeah,
it looks like an eagle. Yeah you did it caught you?

Speaker 5 (46:07):
Yeah, it took me when it landed on me.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
That's so dope.

Speaker 5 (46:16):
My sweatshirt. Yeah, they'd like they would send it up
in the tree. This is like when we were done
with the hunting part. This is just for fun, and
they'd like give you you have to wear like their
big old glove because their talents are really sharp, and
they would like have me hold my arm up and
put like a piece of food on it or something,
and it would literally fly from up in the tree

(46:38):
to my arm. And you think like, oh, yeah, yeah,
I can do this, And then when you realize it's
this massive bird flying at you like I don't know
how fast, but it scared.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Yeah, I would be Yeah, that's awesome, that's awesome. We
can talk about that for one hundred years, but we've
got to talk about music. We're getting hate for not
talking about music.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
It's interesting talking to you because usually we've had ernest
Own Mitchell and they're from Nashville, right, But like most
of the people we talked to, it's their dream to
come to Nashville, to move to town and like a
pipe dream form and their parents got them into music.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Like being from Nashville.

Speaker 4 (47:12):
What part of Nashville like Oakhill, Okay, did you was
it always like was country music always from from the
jump a part of your story or did.

Speaker 5 (47:21):
You yes, come into it or yes, but not as
a career. It was always part of my life. Like
I grew up. My sister, you'll know, you'll know. You
know my sister Caroline. Yeah, she's a songwriter in town,
and she's so great.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
She's so great, awesome, she has a songwriter and a person,
she's she is.

Speaker 5 (47:38):
Literally all around. She's awesome. And her and I just
started singing together when we were really little, like just
for fun. And she's always written songs for since I
can as long as I can remember, she's written songs.
And so we would just sing and play. And I
remember like her bedroom was upstairs next to mine, and
I'd hear in there playing her guitar and I'd go

(48:00):
on the door and be like, and I sing with you.
And we were anything.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
We laughed.

Speaker 5 (48:06):
I mean, any country that was like current at the time,
we'd be like Paisley's Ground band, Miranda Lambert. Well, we
were always like singing whatever was on the radio at
the time, and we laughed. Now because when we started
playing gigs, we were young, like probably like thirteen twelve
or thirteen yea, yeah, I mean, And by gigs, I

(48:27):
mean we would play at barbecues or like we would
go to the corner pub and they would let us.
They didn't even do live music. They just somehow we
talked to them letting show up. We bought a little
speaker and would bring it. And we did not have
any concept of building a set list, like we didn't know.
We just sang. And we would sing the most deep

(48:49):
cut songs that like you've never even heard of, Like
literally we'd sing like Casey Musgraves songs that weren't even released.
We just heard them on YouTube and think that was like, yep,
this is what.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
Want to hear this?

Speaker 5 (49:05):
And so that's what we were, like, they don't know this,
they must just want to hear us sing. And so
we would I mean literally we would say anything. But
I sorry, I'm forgetting what the question was. But I've
just been doing it for forever. And we started playing
gigs and it was just fun for me, like and
she always knew she wanted to be a songwriter, like

(49:26):
that was from the jump, like that was her thing,
and I it was just kind of my hobby. I
was like, this is fun, but I'm I'm a kid,
like is this a career? I don't know about what
career means, Like we're not doing all that, and so
I just did it for fun. And then it came
time to go to college. And since I had watched
her journey, which was high school, sign publishing deal, right

(49:51):
out of high school, go to Belmont, like start right
off the bat, I thought that was the only way.
So I thought, like, all right, I either get to
pick college or I picked singing. Yeah, and I was
like sixteen. I was like I'm not ready to I'm
going to ole Miss, Like come Hell or hot Water,
I'm going to ole Miss. And so that's what I did.
Thinking I would never come back to Nashville. I was like,

(50:13):
I'm gonna move to the beach or to a small
town somewhere, like I'm not coming back here. So I
went to ole Miss, and the whole time I was there,
it just pulled at me, like it was just this
thing in my heart. I could not ignore it. It
was just like guilt is the wrong word because that
sounds so negative, but it was just this yes, conviction.

(50:34):
It was just this conviction that I am supposed to
go back and do music, Like after this is all over,
I where else am I gonna go? Like that is
the only thing I'm passionate about, is the only thing
I really want to do. And so Caroline came in play.
She was like playing a lot of shows at the time.
She went came and played a show in Oxford, and
I got up and sang with her, and I just

(50:56):
remember after getting off stage, I was like I forgot
what this felt like. I hadn't played a show since
I was in high school, and I was like, I
forgot how good this feels. I felt so fulfilled, like
this is what I'm supposed to be doing. And so
after that there was no turning back. I knew I
was going to come back to Nashville, but I still
had a year and a half left of school. So
I was like, what can I do to just give

(51:18):
myself the best shot, like a having like shot when
I come back to town. So that's when I started
writing songs and just wrote when I was in college,
started playing shows again, and then moved back home and
then just hit the ground running.

Speaker 4 (51:32):
Man, it's really similar to my story as a younger
sibling to him, Yeah, because it's really interesting because it
was the same thing like this. And I say this
like this was never my dream kind of because I
didn't even know it was his. And he was destined
from the time he got a guitar for Christmas in
eighth grade and by lunch had learned four songs on it. Yeah,

(51:55):
like he was destined to do this and I was
kind of same thing. And it's so crazy because like
I would I would go with his band to these shows,
and like in college, when I was in college at
UT Knoxville, he would go play somewhere, and I'd hop
on the band band with him and or the band
with them and go sing like harmonies with him and stuff,
and the whole time thinking like, dang man, like this

(52:15):
this is a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
This is this is this is really and even like.

Speaker 4 (52:20):
It's crazy too because like I was trying to do
other things, but none of them would work because because
I was supposed to be here too, you know. And
and so that's really interesting to hear that story. It
almost feels like the female version of exactly.

Speaker 5 (52:34):
What we well. And it's funny because I've heard a
lot of siblings say that they have a similar story.
There's a lot like the Davis brothers. You'll know the Davis.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
We just stand them, Jacob.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (52:46):
I saw that.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
We don't like that Jenkins terrible, terrible guys.

Speaker 5 (52:54):
Warren brother I was just with them. We go to
church together, but the.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Church because that's where you guys go.

Speaker 5 (53:03):
Do you know that Brett Warren married me and my husband? Yes?

Speaker 1 (53:07):
I did not know that me and Will.

Speaker 5 (53:09):
I don't have to say.

Speaker 1 (53:11):
The day we're to podcast.

Speaker 5 (53:13):
So he was also to blame. Where'd you elope to
on our land? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (53:21):
I know?

Speaker 5 (53:21):
So cliche. We know, it was awesome. We had been planning, like,
you know, the big like traditional wedding, and honestly, the
planning was so overwhelming to me. I was like, I
cannot do this. It was not it was becoming about

(53:42):
like there's just becoming so stressful, like who am I
going to invite? And do I even want to invite
this person? Is this just because I have to invite?
Like it just became such a thing. And I when
I told Will that, he was like, I've been trying to.

Speaker 6 (53:55):
Get you to Elope since we met.

Speaker 5 (53:57):
Like, let's I'm down. And so anyways, we almost did
like a true courthouse elopement. And then I called my
parents and they were like, no, you're not doing that,
Like at least just give us a week so we
can get all the family together. And I'm really glad
that they said that looking back, because I would have
regretted that. But so we gave everybody like a couple

(54:18):
of weeks. We said we're doing it on this day,
and we just had our immediate family there and grandparents
and we went out to our land and it was
so easy and chill, and we just got married and
Brett Warren, the papers, and yeah, it was awesome.

Speaker 1 (54:34):
How is that because most people.

Speaker 4 (54:38):
Most songwriters or artists are married to not songwriters. Yeah,
totally totally and somebody not like and had their siblings,
their siblings do their jobs and so like they can
turn it off right like they they're not living in
it constantly. Yeah, you're literally navigating it, this business with
your husband, which is awesome too because you have somebody
to talk to and somebody to bounce ideas all the

(55:00):
kind of going.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
Through the same thing, understands it. Yeah, Yeah, what what's
that journey been like?

Speaker 5 (55:05):
Well, for me, the pros way outweigh the cons, Like
I would way rather deal with having to turn it
off sometimes, like having to make ourselves turn it off
sometimes and struggle with that, and also get the pros
of him just understanding it and being able to give
me advice because he's just so smart and like just

(55:28):
so much more mature than me, and so he's able
to weigh in on things and like just be there
for me. Whereas, Yeah, whereas I feel like it would
be hard for me if somebody didn't understand it and
I wanted to go to them for advice and I
had to be like Okay, Well, first let me explain
this whole backstory of what this person does, and let
me explaining what this job is, and to me, that

(55:48):
would just be really energy draining. Some people don't mind that.
For me, I just like that he understands it. But
we do have we have to have boundaries, Like we
have a rule we do not talk about work before
nine am, Like we don't when I'm drinking my coffee,
we do not talk about work. And it's pretty easy,
like it's not. I also think it helps that I

(56:10):
had already kind of gone through that with my sister, Yeah,
because we've been working together forever and her and I
just kind of tackled that early on, like we both
work together, we also both do our separate things. And
we worked through that and then got through it and
now it's.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Just like that's exactly how we are.

Speaker 6 (56:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (56:30):
I'm sure y'all have had this, say, like we ride.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Together, we don't ride together, we played shows together. Yeah,
and it's nice to have that fall fallback.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
Of going, dude, is this pointless not supposed to be
doing this? Yeah, every couple of weeks, you got somebody
you can trust.

Speaker 5 (56:48):
It and if one of y'all didn't understand it. He
might be like, yeah, that sounds really stressful. Why are
you doing that? Like I want somebody who's going to
be like, Nope, today is just a hard day. You're
gonna get up tomorrow and you're gonna do it again
and it's all gonna be okay.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
Maybe we're just having a bunch of hard days right
in the row. Maybe you know, since like twenty fifteen.
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
We love music, we love Maybe she's just call it's
the curse of a creative though, right second, guess everything
we do?

Speaker 5 (57:18):
You think you're gonna quit every week?

Speaker 7 (57:19):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (57:20):
My times have I said that?

Speaker 2 (57:22):
I mean, and you know, for me, this year, I
came back from like Christmas break, which is what we
all call basically October years after deer season, and so
and I come out of it, and I'm like, I
don't feel like I normally I feel a bit rejuvenated
coming out of the things.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
This time, I just felt like I was more tired
than when I even went into it.

Speaker 5 (57:42):
Yeah, I actually kind of felt that too.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
So I was like, well, I was dry before and
now it's just like Sahara desert dude, I'm dusty. I
got no ideas, I got no inspiration, you know, and
it's weird how as a creative I feel like for
me personally, the only thing that fixes that is like
to keep working. Yes, it's like the only because if

(58:05):
I stop and like Wallow, I definitely ain't get nothing done.

Speaker 5 (58:09):
Yeah, I'm the same way. I also think that's just
January and February too, Like it's such it's such a
bummer that we start the year in the most gloomy
time of year, slump time, right said. My body wants
to just stay inside and meet blankets, but gotta work.

(58:31):
But I'm with you. He wants me out here.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
That's the too long kick. Would you went on tour
with with Morgan Walling last year? That had to be
pretty surreal?

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Yes, and wild? It was awesome stadiums.

Speaker 5 (58:52):
Big yeah, no big deal. It was wild. I mean one,
I've been a fan of his forever and you know,
like I just remember like first kind of getting signed
up Big Loud, and he was the guy like I
was like, oh my god, story struck. And then you

(59:12):
get to know him and you get to know kind
of like that whole crew, and it's like Wow, these
are just cool, good people.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
They are people they are and they're fine.

Speaker 4 (59:21):
So it's fine, Like nothing's too serious, no, just kind
of do what you want to do, Sul.

Speaker 5 (59:27):
Yeah. And I told like when I first when I
first met Seth over there and like the whole crew,
I was right out of college and I told him,
I was like, this feels like a frat house. Like
I'm at home. I know, I know this. I'm like
fulfilling every cliche.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
I'm going to keep driving that one home because a
big loud ole miss.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
Yeah, they're rich, they get drunken public places.

Speaker 5 (59:53):
Oh my gosh, I'm leaving. But anyways, so I've been
a fan for forever and we did. I did a
couple of shows with him the year before so not
last year before that, and I thought it was just
kind of like a couple one off shows. I was like,
that was badass. It was in Arenas, and right after
those shows, I did a writing retreat in Kansas. This

(01:00:15):
is literally like the week after too. It's beautiful, Beul.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
It's like outdoor Mecca.

Speaker 5 (01:00:21):
I actually love how flat it is. People complain about that,
but I think it's cool, probably because I'm from here
where it's not. And so it's just interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
You seen past two hundred yards of your life.

Speaker 5 (01:00:30):
Yeah, you see a car driving and you're like, wait, what,
Oh that's a road miles away wild with one car on.
It was just one just what you might see a car.

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:00:41):
But anyways, I just remember being in Kansas and my
agent called me and he was like hey, and we're
constantly talking or texting, but when he called me right
after these shows, I was like, oh, no, am I
in trouble? Did I do something? And he was like, hey,
So these shows went pretty well and I was like, yeah,
I think so, and he was like, well, how would
you like to do a whole bunch more? And I

(01:01:01):
was like oh and I cried and he was like
you want to go on tour with him next year?
And yes. So anyways, it was so cool. I was
so nervous for those first couple shows, just because I'm
used to playing these small clubs and you go straight
from there to a stadium. You're like, one, I don't

(01:01:23):
belong here to this is wild and I've got to
like fill the state, Like I've got to how can
I like fill these shoes?

Speaker 9 (01:01:31):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
And so it's kind of the same thing. Watch what
I do here, I'm a pro. It's kind of the
same thing, like starting to hunt by yourself. It's figuring
out how to do it. And the goal of that
hunt is to get a turkey twenty yards from you
and shoot that turkey and have that moment. Same thing
with the goal of playing those shows or to draw
that crowd in and to get them to react and

(01:01:55):
feel the words, feel the songs and put on a show.
And there's no greater there's no greater learning curve than
being thrown in the fire like that.

Speaker 5 (01:02:04):
No, it's so true, like there's no way to understand
how it's going to feel until you are there by
yourself on the stage, just like being in the woods.
Until you are there alone, you're the one holding the
call figure it out questions, right exactly. So it was
a huge I mean I just learned so much. I
feel like I grew so much as a performer. My

(01:02:26):
stage presence has gotten so much better, just like you said,
having to figure it out and just do it, just
get out there and do it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
And so being able to watch one of the you know,
the hottest acts in the world right now.

Speaker 5 (01:02:38):
Well, that's the thing. It's like I play my set
and then we stay and watch everybody else after me,
and you just learn so much, like you just and
and when you watch the same show over and over
and over again, you just pick up on things that
you maybe wouldn't have noticed, like, oh, that's interesting. They
moved this song around. They added this solo section in

(01:02:59):
here for more going to go get a drink of water,
like just really water.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Water, for sure, that's what he keep saying, that he'll
appreciate that one water. She said, water.

Speaker 4 (01:03:11):
I'm the pr there's water in that solo c he's
bringing up for sure, But you know what I mean,
like he's watering that fifth he's hammering backstage.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
I'm just like jumps the sweating.

Speaker 5 (01:03:24):
So anyways, but you know what I mean, like just
stuff that you just pick up on. And it made
me go, oh, we should do that in our set,
Like we should add this little thing.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
And like copy him, right, yeah, coffee, we should copy that,
no doubt.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
It does make Yeah, have you had any like, oh
my gosh, this isn't going like I thought it was going.
Two moments out.

Speaker 5 (01:03:47):
There on stage, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
Yeah, For example, I left the battery pack out of
Luke's guitar on a solo acoustic gig in Nissan Stadium.

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
Oh yeah, it was. Yeah, but it happens live music.
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 5 (01:04:05):
It happens. And that's why I'm so happy that I
played so many terrible gigs before, stuff like that, where
I know what it's like when the chord just falls
out of the microphone and getting there with the cordless
mic and you got to pick it up and make
a joke about it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
I knew exactly what to do when that pack went out,
and I ran out there and I switched the batteries
and it was just the pack wasn't tight, you know,
it had come loose, So I knew how.

Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
To fix it. Your face didn't didn't say that you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
Knew what to do, because you're you're like when he
ran you still like muscle memory, spiderfly.

Speaker 5 (01:04:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:42):
Yeah, And so I ran back and uh.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
One of the interesting points of this story is I was,
you know, sweating, right, And so after we got it work,
and I was still standing over there like, oh my gosh, dude,
I'm the worst and the worst just in Nashville, And
it was like a solo acoustic sound, and.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
He's like, man, we got something going on. And I'm like, well, dude,
you hire me to come here and hang out. I
don't really know what I'm doing. And so.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
We got it going, got it work. And he's playing
the song and I'm sweating, I'm stemming, sweating. Everybody's in
my ears like just go ahead for you, you know,
and they're all buddies. But it's like, you know, and
one of the guitar texts ed shout out ed Layne.
He's like, legit, been doing his whole life kind of thing.
He comes up, he puts on around and he's like,

(01:05:30):
hey man, there's seventy thousand people in here, and you're
the only one still thinking about the mess. He's like
nobody else. That's not like they're sitting up there going
hey man, that one guy I really messed this.

Speaker 5 (01:05:44):
That is so true, And you know, it really put.

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
Perspective like kind of in my life on those types
of things, like, yeah, you can mess it up, and
this I think this just goes across the board like
you can make mistakes, you can mess it up.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
Put to just own it and move on. You're the
only one that's going to sit there and think about that.

Speaker 5 (01:06:04):
Yeah you can.

Speaker 1 (01:06:05):
It's sun come up with tomorrow, man. Yeah, you don't
be all right.

Speaker 5 (01:06:08):
It's true. And everybody, like everybody at every level messes up.
There is no and then and people in the crowd,
they're drunk, they just want to have a good time.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
If they're not messing up, then it's not live because
live music is messing up.

Speaker 4 (01:06:23):
I would like I would venture to say some people
enjoy that. Some people like se that's their vulnerability of allah,
it feels you can relate to it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
Yeah, no, don't do it every show.

Speaker 5 (01:06:32):
Yeah no, but like there's nothing wrong with it. When
it happens, I get really self conscious about forgetting words,
Like I just I'll get really in my head and
then if I mess up a word about it, yeah,
then it's like a it's all bray thing. And then
I'll think about it the rest of the day. I'm like,
oh my gosh, everybody's thinking about that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:06:50):
And I asked on tour, I asked Morgan. I was like,
do you ever forget the words or do you ever
get Do you ever forget the words? And he goes
every day I'm not Yeah, and I was like, huh,
I've never noticed. I've watched every show and I've never
noticed once in forgetting the words. Ye. So if I'm
not noticing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
Nobody else, Yeah, because you know you're not hammered. You're
over there listening.
