Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Ever, we are so excited becausewe're in Benson Bone's dressing room. Hey,
Benson, who, how we doing? You're so nice. He came
over and greeted us with hugs likejust super till you know, I think
I do think I'm a big hugger. Yeah, that's good. It's because
you had four sisters. Maybe that'strue that maybe that plays into it.
Yeah, Okay, what do youthink you've learned from your sisters other than

(00:22):
did they ever kick your black growingup? But you know, did you
learn anything from them? They kickedmy butt grown up for sure. I
really think like the main thing ismy like emotional awareness, and honestly,
it's more in myself than other people. Like I think naturally I am able
to like sort of read how peopleare doing and how comfortable people are.

(00:45):
And I'm very glad that I havethat because it helps with what I do.
But also I think they've definitely taughtme a lot more about myself and
how I feel and you know,how to just kind of vocalize my thoughts,
feelings, et cetera. Yeah,So they're really great though, is
really great quality. By the way, more with Benson Boone coming up next,
We talked to him backstage at theRitz yesterday, and being emotionally aware

(01:07):
probably the reason why he's such agood songwriter and a hot quality and a
guy. Just so you fellas youshould know that. Here's Benson Boone's song
from last year, ghost Town Morewith him coming up Erica. We're talking
to Benson Boone in his dressing roomabout his move to La. Yeah,

yard now, I just moved toLa a couple months ago. You don't
have gress, Yeah, exactly,you're not home exactly. I don't have

(01:32):
much of a yard, but Ihave like it's probably like a fifteen foot
by ten foot like big. Idon't know, like place for plants where
they're not concrete around it. Butthen there's you know, dirt and soil
and whatnot. So I just plantedsome flowers and obviously have no idea how
they're doing right now. They're probablydead. But before tour, I took

(01:53):
some time to do that. Howare you dealing with your fairly new fame?
Like beautiful things blew up really quickly. I still really can't even believe
how that song is doing. Stillbut it's incredible. I'm just like,
touring is what I care most about. I want to tour long term and
so it means the world to me. And you're by the way, do

(02:14):
you like the fact that there's peoplethat's been standing outside for hours just to
see you? How does that makeyou feel? They've been standing out there
since like six am. Really,I didn't realize they're there that long.
