Scotty gives insight into North Carolina's Recovery from the devastating flooding in 2024 and how listeners can still help. He also shares what it was like to play the monumental benefit show alongside Luke Combs, Eric Church, James Taylor, and more. As Scotty still lives in NC, he refers to his version of "God's Country" as time spent unplugged at Grandfather Mountain. The guys cover the topic of cigars, what to look for when purchasing them, and how to best keep them preserved.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
What's what's what was so cool about February that they
needed to change the amount of days.

I'm sorry for me.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Man.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
It's the There's a lot of things that play into it.
It's post the greatest season of all time.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Dear pression. It's dear pression. Time one.

Speaker 6 (06:50):
Football is now over. Oh the first of February bittersweet? Well,
the Super Bowl is always so bitter.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
You get one game in February. What a gross super Bowl?

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Man?

Speaker 3 (06:58):
I mean, fred Eagles fan, congratulations, but like the game
it's I wasn't. I'm not a fan of like either.
Team really. Yeah, so it wasn't really rooting. It's kind
of tough to watch. So I'm a Patriots fan. My
dad grew up in New England. So for me, like
when when the Pats went undefeated that year and they
lost the Super Bowl because of the bubble gum on
the helmet and for the Giants, I don't remember that

(07:19):
the ball.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
It's ridiculous. Still I haven't had enough cope to talk
about that yet.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
But uh, but like I was so rooting against the Chiefs,
like the Miami Dolphins and Don Chile were rooting against
us going undefeated because I was like, nobody's quite like
Tom Brady. Noo, he's quite like the Patriots. So I
enjoyed seeing the Super Bowl this year.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
I was excited.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Did they go was that to go undefeated?

Speaker 6 (07:42):
Yeah, that's when they had Randy Mark like that. They
had not remember that the Chiefs lost the game this year.

Speaker 5 (07:47):
No, none of the Chiefs had lost. The Patriots lost
to Eli.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, tough.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, that's that's That's the one of the only highlights
of February is the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
But it's early and then it's back to and.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Then there's like two weeks before, and then there's like
you get like fake spring, like a week and a
half ago, I played golf twice that I did love
like short, and then you get this now we're back
into nasty cold weather, rainy, nasty, nasty.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
And there's just nothing coming for a while either, like
even even March, it's just gone.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
We get March madness.

Speaker 6 (08:20):
I was already like on the phone looking up, like
when does like the spring forward time clock happen? Like
what they're still I can have something, keep it happened.
It's anticipations all hibernate through February. Maybe we should just down,
just down like covided out through February and then come
back in March.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Is there like a nice place that somebody could like
go for a month that's warm during February? Or said
everything the world.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
They're playing golf on the West Coast right now, the
West Coast run. They're playing Tory Pines this weekend. We gotayed,
uh oh yeah. They played Pebble Beach a couple of
weeks ago.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 6 (08:51):
That looked a little chilly. We got to running forward
to next week. So I feel like they always send
you to Canada on the road, like in the middle
of like two feet of snow like you're getting when
you say they the team kind of manager, but Florida
in February doesn't sucks.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
That'll be exciting.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah, very fine. You're gonna play golf.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
Try to.

Speaker 6 (09:13):
Yeah, especially in Jacksonville golf down there. So I got
to get to bring the family out to which is
always not nice.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
That's nice.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah, that helps a lot. Well, that was kind of
I guess we could do what you're mad at, but
we do a little. Thank Scottie. Who can I do?
Like Scotty, sure, what you mad?

Speaker 4 (09:30):
Man?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Oh boy, just tell us what it is? What you're
mad eh? Is that Jane Loss kids?

Speaker 5 (09:38):

Speaker 1 (09:38):

Speaker 4 (09:39):

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Well your neighbors.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Cat just tell us, man, fantastic, thanks to We're around here,
so good. We're pro around here. Yeah, we're not pro
studios pro though this looks pretty legitimate here.

Speaker 6 (09:55):
It looks great. I know I've seen y'all post and
all this, and I was like, where are they? I
thought y'all were like in your house. I was like, man,
it looks we are.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Sometimes.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, there's usually a mini split over our heads, not
animals and form in my basement. We do a little
semit called what You're mad at Scottie. You can be
glad at this morning, you can be We kind of
just did it about February.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
But yeah, yeah, we should have just done Yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
I feel like that's what I mean. If I had
to go, I'm with it. I'm there.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
I got one. I got one.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
I think I can't remember if I've said this before,
but it happened again. So I was like, I either
need to say this or okay, just as a this
is traffic no good, just as an announced traffic announcement
to people who park in people's driveways, Okay.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (10:43):
You have said this, I have comment. So I come
home yesterday and.

Speaker 6 (10:49):
Look, man, this is an ongoing thing. Then, I guess
so that's even worse.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Well, the two.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
People that are guilty of it in my life will
actually be hearing this podcast, so maybe it'll at least
me out. I hope it helps somebody else out if
you're listening, If you're listening out there, and I love
them both.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
I love my wife.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
Okay, she can't park on your driveway.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
She doesn't park the d that's the problem.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Oh and like we have a we have a great
babysitter who's awesome takes care of our kids. But I,
for the life of me, don't understand why when you
pull into.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
A driveway you just stay on it. You just stay
on the driveway. Especially in February, you don't.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Pulled yesterday and the right the passenger right hand side
of tire of Shine's tire was just just.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
An inch deep in mud. Well, and I was like,
it's like, it's like it's just gotta go like this.
It's like you drive, drive, and drive, and then you
just gotta go.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
I've listened, and I know I've developed I've analyzed this
so much my brain for so many years that I
think I've got the psyche down on it, which is
I'll just nudge off to one side or the other
so that if somebody needs to go around me or
past me, they can kind of hang onto the driveways
they can go. And I get I get that, and

(12:10):
then I walk twenty more spaces and the babysitters just
off the other side. I mean, it's like, so my
announcement is if you if you're parking in someone's driveway,
unless specified, it's down.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
Drive down the driveway.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, driving.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
I can get down with that.

Speaker 6 (12:29):
I think I've thought of two things I'm mad at
over you too. Wow, you've been talking about the driveway,
which that's the worst. That's like on the golf course
when people drive off the car path just to get
two feet closer to the whole. It's like, well that's
saved you any time. Yeah, but that's good. Just like
what are we doing here?

Speaker 5 (12:44):
You know?

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (12:46):
For me, I'm stupid injuries, Like like I see like injuries.
It just don't make sense. Like if I'm having fun
and I and I trip and break my leg, it's
like what you know, I was having a good time. Yeah,
I'm on the bus the other day. We're in Michigan again,
middle of the winter, not even missing like the up.
We're in Canada basically, and I'm up there and uh,
I had turned the front lounge into a cigar lounge

(13:07):
the night before, so I was wanting to air out
the bus a little bit before the show. It's like
twenty minutes before we go on. Our windows are like
the motorize. You press the button opens up. There's a
game on the TV. So I'm like just pressing the
open button. It's like twenty degrees just open. The wind
is aired out, and as I'm doing that, my finger
just gets caught in the motorized window and it's like,

(13:29):
just it's still black and blue. I had to play
guitar that night, and it's just let me see it.
It's it's pretty pretty rough and I had to like
hold my finger out the whole time I'm singing that night.
So I like halfway through the show, I'm like, folks,
I promise, I'm not flicking you off.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
It's just just that, just the one Now, I just
want to get a steal of that so that when
we say Scotty cry the picture.

Speaker 5 (13:53):
Flip what happens. He's such a nice guy.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
People want to listen to that. We got to click that.
Saddie and Reid got in a five.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
It's way more about because I'm the same way that dide.
I mess my fingers up constantly.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
The other day, I had a cardboard paper cut right
here in the webbing from opening an Amazon.

Speaker 5 (14:10):
That's when you hibernate for the rest of February, just
like it.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Was on February first. But but I'm with you. It's
and it's not that it hurts, it's just annoying.

Speaker 6 (14:18):
And it's like if I why, like what that did
not have to happen. It was just a stupid injury,
a dumb thing. So that's one. The other one is,
I don't know if y'all watched basketball. Did y'all watch
the Final four? Last year? The greatest team in the country,
the North Carolina State wolf Pack made it to the
Final four one ACC championship.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
I forgot to tell you. He's a huge and state.
I think I remember they had that bit the DJ.
Come on, dude, it doesn't look like a baller, but
as a.

Speaker 6 (14:48):
Yeah, absolutely, and it's like I I cried real tears
when they made that run, like it's on Instagram, like
you know, the run in March a special. It was
so special, so special. But then this year and I
think we've lost ten games in a row. It's just like,
why can't we just keep the mojo going?

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Nothing to look forward to in March. There's no better weather.

Speaker 5 (15:08):
There's nothing. Yeah, so better weather March. I'm stuck in
better weather.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah, oh man, that's great.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
My mad at is and we talk about golf on
here too much, but my mad at is my golfing net.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Uh it's not it's not sturdy.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
Is it not netting?

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Like it's notting my swing speed. They don't hit the
ball too hard and it just it just flies, you know.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Tough problem, you know what I'm saying. The center of
the face, center of the net.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
And now Reid always uses this podcast as a way
to like backhanded compliment himself, So that's kind of what I've.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Been looking at those. The net returns, dude, I just
got one for real. Yeah, it works like it it
returns the golf ball. Yeah, And I got it set
up right in front of like a glass window.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
So I'm like, what's the trick. What's the difference between
it and just a regular ass net.

Speaker 6 (16:07):
It like instead of the ball just going and falling,
it like hits the net and then it comes back.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
It comes back to you.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
And it's supposed to be like really durably, like you
can hit over a thousand hours.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
It sounds like you guys just a get god.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
But like, guy that's trying that, I've got one hundred
golf balls there to hit. You just need one.

Speaker 5 (16:25):
It kind of saves space.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
So you're telling me, it goes into the net, comes
back and just rolls gently back towards.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
It's supposed to go in the net and just kind of.

Speaker 6 (16:32):
Like the thing you put under the basketball going to
your kids, return the ball, return through those things. I
never had one of those, but my neighbor did. It's like,
we're not hooping in my house, We're going to your house.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
You got a ball return? Yeah, why don't you guys
just lay like a blanket on the back that would
do the same thing.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Right?

Speaker 2 (16:47):
That just makes too much sense, And no it doesn't.
It's not does a blank it's not designed to return
the ball to you.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Oh but the same thing on a net that sells
for ye.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
Yeah, definitely they're proud of that. Never took they are
they are.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
I'm just saying North Carolina. Yeah, the morning.

Speaker 6 (17:04):
Raised love it many. Oh yeah, they'll never get me
out of there.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
I tell you, for you full time up there, like
when you're not full time.

Speaker 5 (17:12):
We live in Rileigh.

Speaker 6 (17:14):
Our roots are so deep, and I feel like everybody
just loves home, right, I mean, no matter where you're from,
you're going to love home.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
And you should. Man, I've been fortunate.

Speaker 6 (17:22):
We've we've played shows in all fifty states we've gone.
I've played shows in the Philippines, New Zealand, all of Europe. Like,
to me, that's just I've never found a place like
North Carolina. My retirement gig is going to be working
for North Carolina Tourism. Like I'm just going to go share.
Actually probably not. We were full. We're full, but it's
like we live in the middle of the States.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Just gotten really excited for it.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Actually, I love this podcast. Yeah they are North Carolina
tourism is always like in our posts.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
Yeah, we'll get them all. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (17:54):
The beach, the mountains, the golf, the hunt is good.
I mean it's got all you need.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah. Do you go to your outer outer banks?

Speaker 5 (18:03):
Guy, So I grew up going to the outer banks.

Speaker 6 (18:05):
A lot of people think like the whole beach in
North Carolina's outer banks, but we go down towards like
the Wilmington area, Topsle Beach, but the outer banks are
like up north. But it's like a step back in time.
There's there's still wild horses that are on the beach.
It'll just be chilling and then it's like a horse
is running by.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
I spend the time in Hatteras and it is like
you can drive your truck out on the beach and
park it and just fish off your tailgate and.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
There's dogs running around everywhere. I mean, it's it's sick.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Okay, give me, give me a give me your like
why I should not go to thirty eight and I
should go to y'all's place.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
Well, Number one, you probably won't run into anybody from
Nashville right over there. So that's that's a big one.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
That's probably people don't know us like people know you
so kind of.

Speaker 5 (18:51):
I don't know if we can kind of hide out. Yeah, sometimes.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
You know what I'm saying to me.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
It's it's the chillness of it. Like the beach we
go to, there's no put putts on it, there's no hotels.
It's just your neighbors and it's just quiet. July fourth,
where we're at, there might be fifteen to twenty people
on the beach. It's like it's just quiet you in
the ocean. It's not the soft sand you're gonna get.
I mean, Destin is amazing right down there. It's but it's, uh,

(19:20):
it's chill. The vibes are chill.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
What's up with the water? Is it cool?

Speaker 5 (19:24):
It's good, it's good.

Speaker 6 (19:25):
It's it ain't the you're not in You're not gonna
get off there and think you're like in the Caribbean,
you know.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
But it's good and yeah, we have fun.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Fishing is good, supposed to be real good.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
Yeah, the Gulf's ride like a mile off.

Speaker 6 (19:38):
So it's like people, the Big Rock Tournament is like
one of the biggest to think, Marlin blue Kilfit Wireland Tournament.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Have you ever done any of that? Have you ever
done any of that? Fish fishing?

Speaker 6 (19:47):
I wish, I get it's like on my buck I've
had invitations to go, but it's just like I'm so
busy on the road and stuff. I got to kind
of pick and choose when I take time off, and
it's just never worked out.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
But guys who guys should go marlin fishing are like,
I know, die hard hunters, Like die hard would turkey
hunt every day of their life if they could, would
trade turkey hunt for marlin fishing.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Really, they said. For some reason, the.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Dude, they everybody talks about it like it's the most
amazing thing in the world.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
I've never done it.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Yeah, I've been a part of some like deep fish
ocean fishing, and man, it just ain't for me, dude.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
Really is it? Like, yeah, you didn't put the sticker
behind your ear?

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Yeah, yeah I didn't.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
And and even when I have done the sticker, I
still find myself like, looking at.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Their highs, I'm like, and I think he heard me wrong.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
No, the horizon, fish guy horizon, I think he said.
When I'm looking in their eyes like I have to,
That's what they tell you when you start getting seasick,
It's to stare at the horizon so that you're yeah,
levels out. But but mine is just just I don't know, man.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
I think part of it is also the mentality of like.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Man, I'm sixty miles from anything I can put my.

Speaker 5 (21:02):
Feet's kind of scary.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
It's terrified.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
It's just like we know, they think we know like
five percent. I mean as far as the actual mass
of the ocean, we know like five percent.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I can't go there. I'll start thinking about that. Then
I'll start thinking about heaven and being there for attorney,
and I'll freak out.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Oh yeah, I'll wake out my brains.

Speaker 6 (21:20):
They're not meant to know all this stuff, but they
want to know. It's just like, oh God, yeah, go
down that road.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Did y'all? Were y'all affected? By the flood any around you.

Speaker 6 (21:30):
You know, my favorite place in the world, I think
is a mountains of North Carolina.

Speaker 5 (21:34):
So we go up there.

Speaker 6 (21:35):
We have a little place there, and our place was spared,
trees down all around us. When I was driving up
there the first time, I was like, after the storm,
it was like, oh, you see some trees down, But
where we were, it was like, Okay, it's not. But
then you drive two miles and you take it left
and it's just like two miles. I mean, it's like
you've never seen anything like it. So people are still
struggling and it's, uh, they got a long road back,

(21:57):
but uh, the people in the mountain are they're resilient groups.
So I they'll make it through it. It ain't it's
going to be a minute, is it really?

Speaker 1 (22:05):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Is it coming back? I mean, is it coming back?
Honestly at this point, I.

Speaker 6 (22:09):
Think little by little, but there's still roads that are
washed out. There's still I mean, they got I think
I was listening to somebody talk about it and they're like,
if you're looking at it, like percentage wise, they're probably
ten percent back. Okay, they got a long road, but
I love it up there. Man, those people are so
give you the shirt off your back kind of people.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
How special was that benefit, shar.

Speaker 5 (22:31):
I think, coolest best show I've ever been a part of.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Really give us a little backstory. I mean, I know
you played show, but what where? What was it? What?
How did what did y'all benefit?

Speaker 6 (22:40):
So I'm in the stormhead and I immediately called my
team and I said, guys, I want to do something.
You know, I want to I want to do something,
I said, but I guarantee Luke and Eric are going
to do something, and if they are, I'd love to
be a part of it, even if I'm just an announcer.
If I'm there, if I'm selling hot dogs, I'm part
of it. In five minutes after I called my team,

(23:01):
Luke's camp called us and said, hey, can you We'd
love you to be a part of this. But it was,
you know, I think everybody was there for the same calls.
Everybody kind of came together as one, you know, in
a time in the world where everybody's got opinions and
it's disagreeing and if you don't think this, then I
hate you. Oh It's like, man, there was none of
that in the stadium. You know, forget how many people
seventy plus thousand all there for the same calls they

(23:23):
raised twenty four million.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
But it was just backstage was different. Man.

Speaker 6 (23:27):
I mean You're walking to catering and James Taylor's right
behind you. It's like, well, this isn't you know the
Dwayne County Fairry or something like this. This is a
little different. But uh, And as I'm walking out because
it's a stadium show and they used George Straight stage,
so you're kind of out there in the middle of
the round, so you had to walk kind of through
the crowd to get to the stage. And so they said,
all right, it's got to eure up. So I walked

(23:49):
from the dressing room and go out there and it's
a long walk and just as soon as I like
step foot into the stadium, James Taylor starts in my mind,
I'm going to Caroline and dude, chills from the top
of my head to my pinky.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Different.

Speaker 5 (24:05):
I mean, I've never had chills like that.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
And is that this one? Let me just shift this this?
Yeah that? Uh, I don't know if I can play
with nah r some verb on that thing. It does
sound good?

Speaker 5 (24:23):
Or is that firing ring.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
I can't remember it. I was playing with the cable,
so take the cabo off. Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Sorry, all right, we only got we only got a
few more minutes now, that's fine.

Speaker 5 (25:08):
Can't you see sunshine? Can't you just see it alone?

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Shine?

Speaker 7 (25:15):
Ain't it just like a friend of mine pitt me
from high your sound going to Caroline in my life?

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Dude, James Taylor is just that's crazy. Yeah, that's so good, man,
James Taylor.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
I saw some videos of that and it shook me
and I wouldn't you know. I was just looking on
my phone, you know.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
Man.

Speaker 6 (25:38):
Yeah, it was everybody coming together for one cause and
loving on each other and uh, everybody. There's no egos,
no nother man. It's just like, hey, we're let's let's
do what we can. So kudos to Luke and Eric
for pulling off a stadium show in twenty eight days
pretty quick.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Huge.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
You remember he was he was a wreck while that
was happen because he was like he was putting it
together and he's wanting to happen, and people were chomping
in and out.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
There's different camps and all.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
This different in Florida because that was bootlegger stuff before,
like that, they were going to do bootleggers down in Florida.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
And I remember that. We went on. We walked on
the beach and Cappy Looks manager was standing there.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
And I was like, what's up, Cap? And he's like, READO,
how are you doing?

Speaker 7 (26:17):
Man?

Speaker 1 (26:17):

not been alive the last Yeah?

Speaker 4 (26:29):
He was like.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
I was like, I was like, you got some downtime
after this, you know? And he's like yeah, man, it's
not like I'm just I'm planning the biggest show of
my of our careers for the benefit.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
I forgot about that.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
And they pulled it off. They trusted it.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
It's easy to especially like when when stuff like that
and and catastrophizes like that that happened, it's easy. The
news is all about it right for for a few days,
a few weeks, and then it's gone. You know, election happens.
Nobody's thinking about anymore.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
I want we want to keep it a thing, man, Like,
what's what's what's a way?

Speaker 5 (27:02):
Where?

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Where is?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Where can people still go to help? The calls and
and donate money?

Speaker 5 (27:07):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Do you have a foundation?

Speaker 5 (27:08):
Does?

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Did you know of any foundations that people can still
give to?

Speaker 6 (27:11):
So, I mean what we've been given to is s
Merriton's purse, which is located right there in North Carolina,
and they've they've been thanking God.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
I'm glad you had an answer for the because I
was like, reader, my.

Speaker 6 (27:21):
Guy's pro they're right there in the mountains of Carolina,
their headquarters are, and they were there day one helping
out and they're still there. Baptists on Mission is who
we've been working with, and honestly, like what we were
doing is is just going and knocking on doors. Like
when we were there helping, it was just hey, what
can we do? And they're like who you with? Like
it's just it was me and four guys. It's like,

(27:42):
really we're able body, dudes, send us somewhere, And it's so.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Is that what you did you just let it up
and truck went over there and how did you? How
did you?

Speaker 5 (27:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (27:49):
Just I mean just me and follow in law and
a couple of buddies and just they needed help bad
and we were just making just the tiniest little gent
and a huge problem. But but were like they were saying,
man that this is the only way things are getting
done right now. So it's it's you know, any way
you can help, I'll say, they'll take it because it's
it's a long road back for them.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Yeah, we got we sent a bunch of deer meat.
It was they were cooking. They were cooking up some
like spaghetti with it and all kinds of different stuff. Say,
and we tried to try to just get you know,
some some something to eat up there, because I mean,
if you don't have refrigerators and stuff running, like, how
are you keeping that? How are you keeping food? I
mean yeah, I mean you got to be tired of RALI.

Speaker 6 (28:30):
Yeah, yeah, those are the problems you know that they were.
It's it's the little things you aren't thinking about, you know.
So yeah, but they'll be they'll make it through there.
They're a great group of people.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
What did uh, what did growing up there look like
for you, like outdoors wise, were you hiking, were you
golfing back then?

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Were you doing any fish any hunting?

Speaker 5 (28:46):
Yeah, I mean we were. We were kind of doing
it all. You know.

Speaker 6 (28:49):
Outdoors was kind of where I'd spend the day. So
if we were at the beach, you know, we'd be
out there in the mountains, we'd be hiking. There's hikes
and stuff in Riley too, but we'd be golfing. My
dad would always big golfer and big baseball player. And
my dad's the kind of guy where he just kind
of still ticks me off because he's he's, you know,
just about sixty and he's still still a better athlete

(29:11):
than me. My man can absolutely hoop on the basketball court. Really,
he can still ball out on the golf course. I've
only beat him a few times, Like dang, that's cool.
Played college baseball, so.

Speaker 5 (29:20):
It's like, gosh, those guys, those guys.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
But but we were always outside playing and uh, you
know a lot of my buddies I was chilling with
them when I was two three years old, are still
my best friends now. Were still all live in the area.
So I think that's a big reason why I still
live there. It is just because of our our roots,
you know, they're they're they're real deep down there.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
So I feel that what are you What are you
shooting these days?

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (29:42):
Man?

Speaker 5 (29:42):
I mean shoot binale? I think is a shotgun I got?

Speaker 1 (29:45):
So is that what?

Speaker 7 (29:46):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (29:46):
You love? I was putting me on the spot because
I don't hunt like you guys.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
But that's what's in the closet. I was talking golf,
but hey, we'll talk guns for sure. That's not really
what people people like.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
I was looking at those, and I said, golfers wouldn't
usually say what are you shooting?

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Cat es usually like what's your handicap? Okay, let me
rephrase it.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
I mean I can talk that too. Yeah, but a
hell of shot.

Speaker 6 (30:11):
Yeah, I got a glock non millimeter. That's why I can't.
I don't have t s a pre check anymore because
I made a bad mistake. There, Lord, have mercy tell
that story. But just tell a story, man, This this
is fun. Yeah it was.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Was it on your honeymoon?

Speaker 6 (30:26):
It was not on my honeymoon. Was in my honeymoon
to a whole another level for me. I was just
coming to Nashville. I was as a, you're coming to Nashville.

Speaker 5 (30:36):
YEA.

Speaker 6 (30:36):
I had my glock and I always kept it locked up,
you know, whether it was locked in my truck or
locked in the safety at the house. But uh, this day,
I always drive us too, But this particular day.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
My wife was she was like, I want to drive.

Speaker 6 (30:48):
We were going to the lake, her parents place, and
a lot of times that the lake will go target
shooting out there. I was like, all right, and for
the first time of my life to the last time
of my life, I've just grabbed my gun out of
the out of the truck, locked up and just kind
of tossed the book back because it's now our drive
will be there.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
In no time. Well, it rained, so we ended up
not going target.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Shooting, so we didn't think about it.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
I didn't even think about it.

Speaker 6 (31:08):
So then we came back the next day and I
had like a five thirty am flight and I'm just
walking and go through TSA and I see them kind
of stop my back and in my mind, I'm like,
I fly through here four to five times a week.

Speaker 5 (31:21):
There ain't no water bottling there.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
My toilet trees are the right size, Like, what what's
going on?

Speaker 1 (31:26):
You didn't know immediately. No, I mean I didn't.

Speaker 6 (31:29):
Know what was God, I was five thirty in the morning,
so I kind of take one step to my right
and I look at the screen and.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
I'm like, oh my.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:37):
But not only was it the glock, like I was
going target shooting, so it's just loads of ammunition just
in there.

Speaker 5 (31:43):
So yeah, Luckily I was in Rileigh.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
I know all the.

Speaker 5 (31:47):
Agents and stuff.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
They know me and they say Scotty, scot has Scotty,
but they take me aside and call my manager.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
I was like, hey, I'm not sure I'm going to
make it to Nashville.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Today, so you might have bailed me out too.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
Yeah. Yeah, but that was an ordeal.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Luckily, do you to keep your gun?

Speaker 5 (32:01):
Did you keep it?

Speaker 6 (32:01):
They took it for a while and I had to
like do the whole process and everything and eventually got
it back, but it was got your pre check. Luckily
I had my concealed and everything, so I was that helped.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
But Scott these guys concealed, he's he's a gun guy.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
Yeah, yeah, what am I shooting?

Speaker 4 (32:16):
Man?

Speaker 8 (32:16):
Right?

Speaker 5 (32:20):
So good.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
I'm glad that led to that story though.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yeah, ours was on my our honeymoon and it was
the last flight of the day, and so we were
kind of already, you know, and Jordan packed on my bags.
I was mowing the yard, getting stuff ready to leave
for a couple of weeks. And and when we got
there and got in line, there were probably fifteen people
in my line, fifteen people in this line to the
left going through the you know, security stuff, and I'm
sitting there and all of a sudden, you see one

(32:44):
of the TSA agents just come by and start whispering
to these people to move lines, and they're grabbing their
stuff and like going over here. And I'm like, well,
I guess so I grabbed my bag and I start
walking over there, like no, sir, you need to stay
in this line.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
I was like okay.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
And about that time, same thing, I saw two cup
cops come around thing, and immediately I was like, oh, dude,
I did I know exactly what it is. And I
walked up to him and I was like, hey. I
was like, I know, y'all gotta do what you gotta do,
I said, And I'm not trying to get it standing
the way in that, I said, but you don't know
how sorry I am. And I was like I'm so
sorry for bringing and it was loaded with hollow points, dude,

(33:19):
like one in the chamber dog like it was. I
got to keep it and it ended up being, you know,
we went back and do that thing. We made our
flight to Hawaii, but yeah, no pre check for you.

Speaker 5 (33:27):
Boy, oh boy. Yeah, thank god you made the flight too. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Pre checks real nice guys. I'll be honest with you,
it's really nice. I just glide right through there and
just keep on rolling. I have lost I have lost
a couple of really nice knives.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
I had a guy. He was like, he goes, do
you know what you got in this bag? And I
was like, no, man.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
He was like, and it was done that too, And
I was like, oh dude. I was like, that's really nice. No, okay, no,
that one's on them anyway. This one's a fixed blade.
It was that Mountain skinner.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
I was like, man, and I was already late and
I was like, dude, you should put that in your
bag and take that home. He was like what And
I was like, that's a that's a really nice n
let's check it throw it away.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Dang. Yeah, it was tough.

Speaker 6 (34:23):
My band still actively laughs at me as we are
going through through security. They're like, remember that, we'll see
you in thirty forty five minutes there pre check.

Speaker 5 (34:32):
Yeah, I'm getting left behind.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Hey man, what does what does like?

Speaker 2 (34:38):
You love playing golf, you love hiking, you love being
on the beach, you love being in the mountains. I
can tell by your shirt Park City, great spot? What
does that do for you?

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Mentally?

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Because you're you're always on the road. This this industry
is crazy. It's constant. It's a grind. What is what
is being out there in nature.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
Do for you? Uh? Everything? That's why I go.

Speaker 6 (34:58):
You know, I think it reach just your batteries kind
of gets you a blank slate, and I think it
puts you in a mode. I mean we're always writing
songs and stuff. Last two times I've really done like
a retreat writing vibe. I've just gone up to the
mountains of Carolina and sit on the back porch fireplace
is going guitars, And I just think you just puts
you in a different mindset. You're thinking thoughts you wouldn't

(35:20):
normally thank you, You're telling jokes you wouldn't normally tell.
And it's like it's it can lead to you know,
a different song, A different line, But for me, it's
the uh oh man, we've been on the road so much.

Speaker 5 (35:33):
Let me just go.

Speaker 6 (35:33):
I'm just gonna go turn my phone off for a
few days, go do some hike and go do something.
And it's the recharge of the batteries. And after that,
I'm like, all right, let's get back on the road.

Speaker 5 (35:43):
Let's go do it.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
So I remember us saying, like we were talking about
being out there and why we love it, and even
at a younger age.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
We used to say like.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
We I feel like the outdoors and being out there
and whether it's hunting camp or on a mountain or
playing golf or whatever, like it turns you into who
you want to be sure, you know, it resets everything
and it can.

Speaker 6 (36:09):
Kind of take you back to a moment in time
or take you back. Like a lot of people love
these a lot of people love Yellowstone, a lot of
people love these shows. It's like back in the day,
like this is how it was. You know, you're getting
out there untouched, it's peace, it's quiet, you're not here
in traffic, your phone's not ringing, you're not I don't
want to turn on the TV when I'm out of
those places.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
You got to.

Speaker 6 (36:29):
Yeah, it's conversations with friends and that's the kind of stuff.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
I think.

Speaker 6 (36:33):
It's like we miss you know nowadays and just living
everyday life in the hustle and bustle.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
So we were I was at on a run retreatment time.
When we were looking the view was at Grandfather Mountain.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
Do you know what that is?

Speaker 3 (36:45):
Yeah, that's that's that's where we're at. Oh really, Boone,
we're in Lynnville, okay, right there. So it was we
were looking at Grandfather Mountain. Remember the drive up that mountain.

Speaker 6 (36:55):
Bariscump ran up there. He did Boris Skump at the
end of the movie. He's running up Grandfather mount Grandfather Mountain.

Speaker 1 (37:01):

Thing like that?

Speaker 1 (41:00):
The audience won't write anything. I just do cover doing that,
so we did.

Speaker 6 (41:03):
We did a bunch of covers and stuff, but uh,
it's still really covers.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
It's pretty right. That's it's not like you're in a
bar like learning. We used to do a cover.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
I mean, that's a cover of an original song that
somebody you know, I mean what, I don't know for
a lack of better.

Speaker 5 (41:17):
Yeah, we're pretty good though.

Speaker 6 (41:18):
Man. My drummer Cody came to Nashville for a while,
was drumming around here doing stuff. He was always going
to be my drummer, but when my band got kind
of picked for me after Idol and stuff, my drummer Joey.
I mean, he's become one of my best friends in
the world and he's been with me since day one.

Speaker 5 (41:34):
That was I told Cody, it's like well, if Joey
ever moves on to a different gig, you're my guy.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
He never did.

Speaker 5 (41:38):
Joey has been here for thirteen fourteen years.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
But yeah, it's Cody's still in the basement keeping the chops.

Speaker 5 (41:48):
Cody's so good man, What a good dude.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Uh you watched your granddad smoke a pot growing up
and kind of got you into cigars.

Speaker 5 (41:55):
Right, dude. Yeah, I don't like cigars.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
I love I want to get into it a little
bit because I'm a new cigar guy.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
Oh, I can't do them.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
I actually got out of the truck at Kroger yesterday
and as soon as I stepped out of it, I
smelled Sir Walter rawleye and I was like, it was meat.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
I could have went that's what, That's what.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
Deady Spude smoked his pipe and I smelled it's just
a basic black smoke.

Speaker 5 (42:21):
Smells so good.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
I had to say something. I just I walked out
and yeah, that smells good. And I didn't know it,
but the window was down on the truck. Next he
was like he was he had backed in and I
had pulled in, so our doors were next to each other,
and he's smoking a pie. Yeah, and I dang that
smelling well, thank you. So I was like, oh, shoot, he.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Was a man.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
Yeah, I wanted to hang out with him a little bit,
but I didn't anyway, cigar smoked.

Speaker 6 (42:49):
What's your go to cigar? Yeah, I don't discriminate, you know,
I like him. I like a bunch of different ones.
But to me, the reason I like cigars is a
lot of the same reason why I was just saying
about doors and recharging and resetting, Because for me, I mean,
it's it's two hours smoke, you're slowing down, you're having
a conversation. I'll smoke a cigar by myself, but I prefer.

Speaker 5 (43:09):
To have my buddies with me.

Speaker 4 (43:11):
You know.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Kind of got to be outside to do that too. Yeah,
you don't have to be.

Speaker 6 (43:15):
Unless you're on the front line of the bus and
then you're gonna just tear up your finger the next day.

Speaker 5 (43:18):
But oh yeah, it's it's.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
It's really bad.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
It's really bad. But yeah, it's it's just it slows
you down.

Speaker 6 (43:29):
And and uh, I've grown to like I got books
on them, Like I know that the leaves, I know
where the leaves are coming from. The Dominican and Nicaragua
and and I mean Cuban cigars and kind of what
makes them them And yeah, so I probably know too
much that where it would get boring and but it's
it's all.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Right, So explain a human door to me and why
you need them.

Speaker 6 (43:51):
Yeah, it just keeps the tobacco at like the perfect
kind of place to be smoking a dry smoke you're
gonna be it's just kind of go through it.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
But that's if it's that's if it's been left out,
left out.

Speaker 6 (44:01):
And stuff and and uh, but yeah, it just keeps
them at the ideal temperature, ideal humidity to to give
you a good long even smoke.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
What about ziplocks in your junk drawer under your oven?
Is that a good place to store them.

Speaker 6 (44:12):
If if you've got like they did the Bova the
packs or whatever. I do zip locks for a tuugh
aware all the time when I'm going on the road.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
On the pack there.

Speaker 6 (44:20):
Yeah, yeah, pack is that what you call above the
but I'm not sure exactly how to pronounce it, but it's, uh,
it's something like that.

Speaker 5 (44:28):
You know.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
I bought a pack of h we went down to
Mexico last year and I was no, it was last
year and and I bought a pack of money Crysto's.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
I haven't smoked any yet.

Speaker 5 (44:39):
Oh those are good, Crystal number two. Like I'm a beach.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
I'm a beach cigar guy. Like a porch, like we
went to Back Forces, we went to Yeah, we went
to Jackal Island last year and took and so when
the girls were inside, you know, drinking wine and talking
boys and stuff, I was just on the porch smoking.

time or something like.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
I was, well, you probably, yeah, you're probably smoking it wrong.
Probably That was totally I probably am.

Speaker 6 (45:29):
That was me with Levi Garrett when I when I
was when I was playing baseball and stuff, that was
my go to and then took years off of it.

Speaker 5 (45:37):
One day, I was walking the dog and I'd gone
to the gas and so I'm gonna get me a pack.

Speaker 6 (45:41):
And it's been a decade, but I'm sure I still
love it is that you. I just about didn't make
it home, just hurled over. Man, just got it like
I used to.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
I'll never forget my first time I ever took a dip.
I was playing rb I baseball. This is college and
i'd have been about the Goat Game nineteen.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
That's the goat game. We had this one house.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
We would we would all we lived in the dorms
with our me and Jamie who plays with Loot now

he had a house there and he had to RB
baseball and we had like tournaments. Dude, like, yeah, it
was awesome. And uh I was playing and.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
They were like somebody was like, I'll take a dip,
you know. I was like, man, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
I'm kind of a bitch, and he was like, no,
and take it, and so I put one in and uh,
I remember playing and a couple of innings went by
and I started feeling the sauce on like the backs
whatever it is I don't know what it is. And
I was like, man, am I What am I supposed
to do with this? Like sauce back here? And he

(46:47):
was like, oh my gosh, you hadn't been like swallowing that.
I was like, I don't, I don't. I haven't been
intentionally swallowing it. It might have happened. And I sat
up from my chair and when I did, the whole
room and they were like and my buddy Parker was like,
Justin Parker shout out. He was like, uh hey, Jamie said,

(47:10):
he's green.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
And Justin pulled my lift out with one hand and
ran his hand finger in there and got it and
went to the door and slung it when he did,
and I ran my tongue in behind where he had
because I was at this point like a zombie.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Yeah, I was dun And when my tongue hit that dude,
I ran the porch, I threw up. I got in
Jamie's truck. He drove me home. I threw up three
times and then I passed out. And to this day
I can't smell it. Can't smell it, and I don't know.
The crazy thing is like I could socially casually like
smoke a cigarette and it wouldn't do anything. I wouldn't

(47:47):
even But dude, if I smell winter Green, sends me
your grandfather, you know.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Boy, Me and Mackenzie Carroll shout out.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
His dad was a big dipper and sure, and we
grabbed a pack, grabbed a pack.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
One time.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
I went behind the ship here their ship at their house.
We were young, and we thought it was like big
league chew. So we started chewing it like bubble gone.
Oh god, yeah, I can't.

Speaker 5 (48:10):
I can't smile. Sometimes it just ain't for you.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Sometimes for you.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
You said in an interview that, uh, your biggest goal
was to always play the Grand Ole Opry. Yeah, now
you're a member crazy played it what probably several times?

Speaker 5 (48:25):
Who inducted you?

Speaker 1 (48:27):
So you played it last night?

Speaker 5 (48:28):
Played it last night?

Speaker 1 (48:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (48:30):
It's the best place in the world for country music.
So Garth Brooks invited me. I was there for Christmas
show and Garth and pretty wild.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
How did he do it?

Speaker 6 (48:42):
He texts you, No, he uh man, I It's been
such a goal of mine, Like I'd been hoping it
would happen for for a long time. So like every
night I played the opera, I'd be kind of like
looking around my shoulder and what you.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
Got to clarify.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
You gotta clarify what's the difference between play and the opera,
And like.

Speaker 6 (48:59):
Well, anytime you get to play the opery, it's an honor,
you know, and they have to invite you to come
play the show. And I mean, I don't think people
realize how big of a role they opt be played
in making country music country music, how popular it is,
like the radio tower down on sixty five. It is
like if that wasn't there, who knows if we'd be
doing this right now. Yeah, But so you have to

(49:19):
get invited to play, but then to become a member,
it means I mean they're accepting you end of their family.
I mean, and it's it's who's like my heroes Ronnie
Millsap and Dolly and Randy Travis, like the people I
grew up listening to our members there. So it's the
greatest honor I can think of in my career by far.
So Josh Turner, who is a huge influence for me

(49:41):
growing up, and Randy Travis did the induction, so pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Crazy what's the new? Uh? What's the new? Buckalist? I'm
for you man, like, what's the new guy?

Speaker 6 (49:51):
Yeah, I really that that's that was like my everest,
you know, so I really, uh, I really got to
think about what's what's next.

Speaker 5 (49:58):
I always wanted.

Speaker 6 (49:59):
You always want to raise bar higher, You want to
write better songs, you want to play the bigger crowds,
you know, and that's we're always working on that. But man,
for me, it's like I know whether I'm still making records,
whether I'm still touring the country, Lord willing I turn
eighty five, get on down the road out I'll be
the eighty five year old man still playing the Offrey,
still come to town. And that's knowing that I'm a

(50:20):
part of that family and can do that.

Speaker 5 (50:21):
It's just to me.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
By then you might be able to just like think
it and then you just appear. You just don't even
have to click, don't even have to like get your
gun through.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
You know, what if? There's what if?

Speaker 3 (50:34):
Because y'all got flagged by essay when it does come
time to just like, what's the word I'm looking for? Transport,
just immediate transport. Y'all can't do it, but everybody else can.

Speaker 5 (50:45):
Don't put that in your whole band.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
Shoots to Australia and you like these guys. Oh no,
Goneline reading McCreery, seventeen hour flight, buddy, teleportation, sit in
the back teleportation.

Oh yeah, I bet you did hear that once or twice?
You know what Red did. I'm so glad you didn't
say beat me up, Scotty.

Speaker 4 (51:07):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Reid when we had Kobe, Oh.

Speaker 6 (51:09):
Gosh, he said, I'm getting secondhand anxiety, just.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Said, could you care me?

Speaker 5 (51:15):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Why is that so taboo? Dude? How many times just
wanted to know? Would if I said beat me up?

Speaker 3 (51:23):
That would actually that would have actually been more appropriate
because we were talking about teleportation.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
That would have been a good joke. But read and
it was. It was at the very beginning of our part.
She laughed, Oh no, it's not. She likes me so
much more than she likes she did good. She was like,
I've never heard that one. She just staring were singing harmonies, bro,
did she or did she not say I've never heard

(51:50):
that one before?

Speaker 5 (51:51):
She she called her team immediate we can go back,
you said.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
You guys, Thank you jos. I appreciate that. Yeah, she's
she's obviously noticed.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
The one time you interview Kobe clayor aren't you gonna
Before we go any further, I just need to know
what's that?

Speaker 5 (52:06):
Would you like any bubbly there you go? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (52:09):
Are you feeling it in your bubbly nose or whatever.

Speaker 5 (52:11):
That thing was?

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Anyway, she's a vocal. She's a vocal.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
She's amazing. Oh my, it was saying thing, let's just
put some song writers on blast here.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
What's your out of your number of your six number
one giant hits, what's your favorite.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
You know, and then you're gonna do your least favorite.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
Okay, if least song at least favorite song you ever
cut was one of mine, that'd be awesome.

Speaker 6 (52:35):
Yeah, and we want a song called by five More
Minutes would be top dog for me.

Speaker 5 (52:43):
That was just the way it came about.

Speaker 6 (52:46):
And and uh, like I had, my career has been
so crazy, just how I got started kind of you know,
the biggest show in TV and you couldn't go in.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
It was wild.

Speaker 6 (52:56):
But like I never wanted to be the TV guy.
That was never my goal. I was always planning to
come here for college.

Speaker 1 (53:01):
Turned out to the.

Speaker 6 (53:04):
Point that at that point I would say, you know,
most people thought of me that way. But I always
wanted to be on country radio. I always wanted to
gig off songs that I wrote. So five More was
the first time that I put a song out into
the world where it kind of got accepted and and
uh went all the way at the top. And it
was after kind of a whole shebang of of not
great business stuff going on in my world.

Speaker 5 (53:25):
So it was it was like a redemption story.

Speaker 6 (53:28):
But it was like a man, if you sing songs
from the heart, you know it will resonate from it.
The song taught me a lot, you know. So that's uh,
that would be my favorite.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
That's Money Crystal too right. I love that guy money
and Frank I love that guy. I love Frank.

Speaker 5 (53:43):
Two.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
What was your first hit? I'm trying to remember.

Speaker 6 (53:46):
First song that kind of worked for me. I would
say I would call it see tonight Ude.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Tonight.

Speaker 7 (53:58):
U has of course, I'm coming over. It's all right,
listen for me pulling in new your drive. Yeah, Jo,

Speaker 7 (54:22):
See it tonight tonight, tonight, girl, I gotta see it

Speaker 5 (54:32):
Yeah, I would say that was the first one that
really really worked.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
That's got it's got a little it's got country in it,
but it's got a little soul in It's got a
little thing.

Speaker 5 (54:41):
I mean, that's that's what was going on for sure.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Did you did you?

Speaker 2 (54:45):
You said your mentors running millsap, you know all those
guys you love us, those are your heroes. Who did
you have any of that like R and B stuff
growing up? Did you you love any of that kind of.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
You got a little you got a little sau.

Speaker 6 (54:58):
Yeah, man, I'll tell you. I don't know if y'all
know this or not. You remember the Gap band? Yeah,
you dropped the bomb, baby. Come on, So I was.

Speaker 5 (55:09):
I was riding the school one day in eighth grade.

Speaker 6 (55:12):
We used to ride the school bus, and then they
changed the districts and we got grandfather riding a carpool.
This lady named Briannetta Smith Fornetta Hey, Hey, and she
she was not listening to She wasn't listen to the
country radios. She was listening to Never Forget It. It's
one of four point seven Foxy Radio and uh, welcome
to the drive. That's right, that's exactly right. So all

(55:34):
of a sudden the song came on and I was like,
what is this? So this is like before she's an
we're iPhone. So I like to take out a pen
and paper and I start writing down every lyric to
this song so I can get back home and hop on.

Speaker 5 (55:45):
Lime wire and yeah, this says you know.

Speaker 6 (55:48):
It's a song called Charlie last named Wilson, and Charlie
Wilson was the lead singer of the Gap Band. And
do when I tell you that like changed my world?

Speaker 5 (55:56):
Like I am.

Speaker 6 (55:58):
I am the biggest Charlie Wilson fan, got every single
one of his records. We've become friends over the years.
I've sang with him a few times. But he's just
like he's everybody calls him Uncle Charlie. He's Uncle Charlie.
He's like Snoop Dogg Uncle Charley. Yeah, Uncle Charlie Wilson.
He calls me his nephew. So that's my dude.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
Yeah, you're kind that makes you like a part of
the family. I think that's probably cooler than being part
of the.

Speaker 6 (56:26):
We've been talking. Well, you know, I tell you I
need to get Uncle Charlie on the opery now.

Speaker 5 (56:30):
That that would be special.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
Yeah you should.

Speaker 6 (56:32):
We talked about doing a song together for a long
time now, so maybe, uh maybe he still got it,
Like right now, Bro, last time I saw him, he
was doing an arena like they got real. Yeah, guys,
guy's a superstar and uh yeah, he does runs that
people can't even dream of doing.

Speaker 5 (56:49):
He he's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (56:51):
So yeah, you could tell he's got a little army inflections,
so a little little it.

Speaker 5 (56:56):
Might be I'm quarter to Puerto Rican, so it might

Speaker 5 (59:30):
He's such a vocalist craft.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
So yeah, all the crafts can go, but I just
I love that, like, especially in the time like now, man,
that that you know, you're putting your faith out there
and and and just telling people about the Bible, man,
you know, and that's that's that's really cool.

Speaker 6 (59:49):
I think it's huge, man, I really do. I think
my faith now is as important as as it ever
has been in my life. I mean, you you become
a daddy, you're gonna be doing something, You're gonna be praying.

Speaker 5 (59:57):
You know, you're gonna be saying some prayers. You know.

Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
It's just yeah, I need some help for sure. And
it's I try to I try to walk the walk.
I'm making mistakes, all of us do. I mean it,
it is what it is. But luckily we got a
guy who's who's paid for those mistakes, you know. So it's, uh,
it's important to sing about important to talk about it.
It's hopefully it doesn't get lost in the crazy world
that we're living in now.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
So yeah, I agree, you're gonna run it back on
kid number two, man, keep that going.

Speaker 5 (01:00:24):

hands full with one, you know. So, but you know,
Lord Willing, I grew up with a with an older sister.
I think it'd be great for itv to be older
brother one day. But it's all all in Guy's plan.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
We'll see it is indeed they I don't feel like
the one to two jump was was that bad. I
don't think two to three was way tougher than one
of two.

Speaker 6 (01:00:50):
Getting independent, like he's right now, he's starting to do
his own thing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
It's also you find yourself like you.

Speaker 5 (01:00:56):
Talking about two to three age. You talk about two
to three kids. Two three kids. Oh, I don't know
that as I saw you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
Yeah, I got three now. Yeah, it's a holy holy yeah. Bros,
you are doing some praying. I live in a constant
state of prayer. I'll tell you, man, you know what
it is for me. I should have done this from
I watch you mad at But like.

Speaker 10 (01:01:17):
There's always there's always water in places, there's always liquid
somewhere it's not supposed to be and I'm not water.
Yeah maybe maybe maybe we do got a party trainer
on here. That's why you gotta have a leather couch, dude.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
But I literally walk in yesterday from work, come in,
Shine's nursing the baby, and then there's like everybody the
other kids are just like burning the house down. And
I walk in and there's a literal puddle on the
table and it's just dripping onto the seat. And I
was like, I didn't mean to be this guy, but

(01:01:55):
I walk in and I had a pretty good day
or today, but I walked in on something and I
was like, shying.

Speaker 5 (01:02:00):
God.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
She's like, yeah, I was like waterfall on the table.
Just what just water just falling in it. She was like, well,
I didn't. I didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
I'm over here feeding. And that's what two to three
is for me. It's just like you can't watch it all. Yeah,
And so I don't know why there's water everywhere all
the time though. I mean, it'd be two o'clock in
the afternoon and I'll just like step in a puddle
of water or liquid.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
Is it okay for babies to like baby teeth to
eat ice?

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
Do y'all know the answer to.

Speaker 5 (01:02:30):
That baby teeth to eat ice?

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
I feed my kit My little boy is obsessed with ice.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
I'll put like he loves like he will literally not
eat his his meal that's in front of him, his
tago meat or whatever steak if I have a glass
that you can see through, and he sees crushed ice.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
He will cry for it, and so I'll like, if
it's big ice, I'll put it in there and out
you it up and get a little piece and give
it to him. But that dude'll crunch ice, and I
don't know if it's like good for him or not.
But that's why there's that's why there's water.

Speaker 5 (01:03:04):
All over bad. Any questions like that, I typically defer
to my wife. Is this okay?

Speaker 6 (01:03:11):
Uh, we were in the process. Yeah, we're in the process.
It's wild West, dude, It's it's it's interesting, it's for sure.

Speaker 5 (01:03:19):

that's a lot of it expired.

Speaker 5 (01:04:20):

Speaker 5 (01:04:24):
Oh good, that's that's nice.

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
I don't make it this fun.

Speaker 6 (01:04:27):
I feel like for me, like one that got away,
Like I've had songs that like didn't cut that it
like I should have cut that, you know, when number one,
I was like, dangn that should happen for me, Like
it's it got away. But it's also like something like
a cringe worthy moment for me looking back on. But again,
I got started so young. I was a teenager and
I was nervous to do anything. We were playing the

(01:04:48):
show with the Chesney up in Canada, and I finished
up my show and I go change into like a
T shirt and short so I'm watching Chesney side stage,
and it's like I grew up listening to this guy's music.
I'm such a fan. I loved all this song. Uh,
He's finished up his show and he comes over right
before the encore and he says, Scotty, what's up man.
I'm like, kind of Kenny kind of just being a dummy.

(01:05:09):
He says, you want to come out and sing with
me on stage? You want to come do a tractor
sexy with me? And I just froze and I got
so nervous.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
You say no?

Speaker 6 (01:05:17):
And I said, Kenny, I don't think I know the words,
and he just kind of he didn't say anything. He
just kind of looked at me, and then he just
kind of walked away and he left, and I was like,
of course I know the words. Its like and all
you have to do is say she thinks my track
your sexy and go high five people. I think back

(01:05:39):
on that moment all the time, and I'm like, dude, like,
what are you what are you doing? I haven't had
a show with him since I think you went back
to I think he went back and said this.

Speaker 5 (01:05:47):
Guy, this guy good one. It's one that really really like.

Speaker 6 (01:05:52):
I'll think about that just in the shower sometimes and
just friends.

good one. That's bad choice. I think about that.

line that gets everybody on the song. I think that's
the one they go that song is awesome and that
I mean it is.

Speaker 5 (01:10:24):
Who thinks of that?

Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
Nobody? Now? That is crazy? Yeah, that's that's stupid. Dean

Never today, they'd be like they'd be putting their freaking

A song like that too, is like if it's that
it's that different, but that good, it's probably gonna work.

Speaker 5 (01:11:08):
Song stands on a song.

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
Right, it's in its own lane, you know.
