00:22:54
Speaker 1: In right now.

00:22:55
Speaker 4: It’s like, man, I got a good way. I can’t imagine that’d be up there, heavy brain. What you got Player’s Ranger door store? Oh yeah, yeah, dude, Yeah, I used the bucket yesterday.

00:23:07
Speaker 1: Nice Love had like it.

00:23:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, I’ve had a good look at it, but I had it a while.

00:23:13
Speaker 3: I’ve heard mixed reviews on that one.

00:23:15
Speaker 8: But but he didn’t like I don’t even know how many hours and it’s like pretty I mean, I don’t go like joy riding and stuff, but I got a bunch of land and it’s a lot of bottom land and stuff and it gets you know, it goes to the ship, you know, a lot of water and stuff like that, duck hunting and and just just out there working in it, do you?

00:23:34
Speaker 1: But have you moneited it at all? That’s where I’ve seen people have trouble.

00:23:38
Speaker 4: No, I didn’t mind it, but it was it’s already the one that kind of had It’s already jacked up a little bit, had the snorkels and stuff, and I don’t know what the version is or whatever, but it was already.

00:23:48
Speaker 1: Ed factory like that. Yeah, factory last forever players in those.

00:23:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, I haven’t had any issues.

00:23:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s awesome. I got here talking about sie all.

00:24:00
Speaker 1: But so yeah, I’ve got I’ve got I got the.

00:24:04
Speaker 2: Five Tacoma that uh that this guy is almost three hundred fifty thousand miles.

00:24:08
Speaker 1: On it broke in getting the thing.

00:24:12
Speaker 2: Like my my new Silverado is already having trouble, but my my twenty year old Tacoma, I ain’t had no problems. And I’m like, man, I’m not going to And I’m almost like man like because I want to side aside. Of course, I want to side beside my kids getting older and we can’t fit on my fouriler anymore hardly and the same thing, and I’ll probably end up getting one. But I’m also like, man, I could put like I could just go ahead and like drop ten fifteen into my Tacoma, roll the windows down, take the doors off.

00:24:38
Speaker 6: You go.

00:24:38
Speaker 3: See it sounds you got.

00:24:40
Speaker 2: I mean like I could just trick that out to be the bass polarious of all time.

00:24:44
Speaker 3: Pretty good, it’s kind of yeah, that’s kind of.

00:24:46
Speaker 2: What I do with do mine’s my Yeah, ain’t no doubt. I ripped that thing to the wood.

00:24:50
Speaker 1: We rolled it down in Wayne County the other day and there was a giant ditch. He’s like, I don’t know, man, you might could run it up on the bank. And I was like okay, and it just just crawl right up. I mean like it was an eat away ditch where you didn’t have you either fall off in a ravine or or fall off in a major ditch, you know, and we just kind of yeah, they’re awesome. Straddled its awesome. I couldn’t do that in my tractor, but I can do it in that little truck.

00:25:15
Speaker 3: And then it just crawled across it.

00:25:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we sit here and talking about this all day, let’s talk about doors a little bit.

00:25:26
Speaker 1: Fish dude, I just want to talk fishing. These are the guys I know. I can tell that they that these are the guys. I feel like we rarely have people on that really like to talk about fishing. Get into the man. I want to know what happened during COVID and when when you started, like making a lower I gotta have one of those hats, is what I gotta have.

00:25:46
Speaker 5: It’s one of them Lower Company.

00:25:49
Speaker 1: Uh. I don’t know, really, I mean I.

00:25:51
Speaker 4: Always I grew up fishing, you know, that was like my first passion. I never thought I’d be playing music or anything like that. You know, that just kind of happened. Yeah, uh, And so I don’t really know how it happened though exactly, because it was in COVID.

00:26:05
Speaker 1: You know, we’re not working.

00:26:06
Speaker 4: We didn’t work for a long time, early two years or something, and so I guess from not being creative or like having anything to do, you know, your mind just starts working.

00:26:16
Speaker 1: You’re like, I got to make some money, So I got to make some fishing.

00:26:18
Speaker 4: Lord. Yeah it was a creative outlet, but you know, I didn’t have a plan for it. And then you know, like back in the day, I was like lay in bed and like songs maybe pop in my head and stuff. You know, I can’t sleep and for some reason out of nowhere, like Lure Designs. I lay in bed, it can’t sleep in Lure design start popping into my head like a bunch like every night.

00:26:43
Speaker 1: Weird, right, and I mean not really not too well? Is that what I mean?

00:26:48
Speaker 2: Sometimes at fishing a whole lot too.

00:26:53
Speaker 4: But it was like so specifical little things, you know, And so I hit up my buddy it was my partner now, and because he had a lot of people in the industry and stuff, and I just want to design something for somebody else. Like I was like, hey, I know you work with some people. I was like, I got some designs I drew down that I was like almost dreaming about.

00:27:13
Speaker 1: And uh.

00:27:14
Speaker 4: I was like, I don’t want no money and my name. I just want to said I did it, yeah, And uh He’s like, all the hell with that, We’ll start our own company. And he’s like uh. I was like, all you know, you know what you’re doing. He’s like, nope, do you I said, hell no, And so uh there we go. Man. I started working on that whole body frog and that took me most of COVID did all the design and everything.

00:27:36
Speaker 1: Wow.

00:27:37
Speaker 5: Then like a year two years later we launched, been full of sin ever since then.

00:27:42
Speaker 1: That’s awesome? Are you?

00:27:44
Speaker 5: That’s cool?

00:27:44
Speaker 1: Did you like, uh, what was like top water frog and kind of like your jam? Like is that like?

00:27:50
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I’m in East Texas, so there’s a lot of that, you know action, but I don’t know if this is my jam?

00:27:55
Speaker 3: Was that the first one you thought, like, the first one you dreamt up or whatever it was.

00:27:58
Speaker 4: It was the first thing that I could identify that I had a major issue with other products on the market, Like, it was the one that I was like, man, I really feel like I can make this better.

00:28:09
Speaker 2: Okay, tell me why I had an issue with it you and don’t want to know how you made it better.

00:28:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, So on that product or just in general, I never you know, to a frog a lot, and there was nothing that I loved about it all of them. There would be one I love. The action on the hookup was terrible. Maybe one had good hookup, but it’s like not durable actions, terrible little things like that.

00:28:31
Speaker 2: That’s something of frogs I’ve always found is like I’ve always placement. I’ve always had to manipulate the hook.

00:28:35
Speaker 1: Yeah that’s out, and you don’t want to do that.

00:28:38
Speaker 4: You know, you don’t want to you don’t want to have to do that, you know what I’m saying, because then you’re messing with the hook. That’s integrity of the hook.

00:28:45
Speaker 1: You’re saying. You had to like bend like you don’t know, because most of those hollo most of those frog hooks are are down halfway up on the body.

00:28:55
Speaker 2: That’s right, because you’re expecting is that fish to come from behind eat down on his and then you’re ripping it back in those hooks.

00:29:02
Speaker 1: Those twos are coming through the you know list.

00:29:05
Speaker 4: So where mine sets on top of the body, which is kind of hard to do. You have to kind of manipulate some things inside to make it not dig in and rip the frog open. That’s a big deal because you get like more material out of the way because if you think you know you got you got it halfway on that body, that’s a lot of material, a.

00:29:20
Speaker 1: Lot of rubber too. And it’s not always you know what I mean.

00:29:23
Speaker 4: And there’s even like deviations in each you know, if you had one hundred of them, they’re going to be just a tiny bit different. Like in the manufacturing process, there’s always a percentage of error.

00:29:32
Speaker 1: You trying to consistent Frog. It was just better.

00:29:35
Speaker 4: There’s a lot of things like action, leg placement, water intake and then you know, the hook up ratio and all those things. Like we’re just different design features that I was kind of working on to make it. And you know, at the end of the day, I made the perfect one for me and it’s my favorite.

00:29:52
Speaker 1: And so we were like launched. I was like, man, people are gonna think this is really stupid that I’m.

00:29:57
Speaker 5: Doing this, you know.

00:30:00
Speaker 4: And then uh so we didn’t even know it, just kind of did it on a whim. And then like we sold out and then like people were like, oh, this is really legit, and so we just kept going with different products and stuff like that.

00:30:11
Speaker 1: I mean, now you guys, you got what Lee Levesey is he is? He is he using your product?

00:30:17
Speaker 4: Oh well, his funds are buying a big brand, so you know, he doesn’t use him on tour and stuff. But we fished together those stuff around.

00:30:24
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, I don’t know what it feels like to take the first prototype that you designed and and and hit have a fish hit.

00:30:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, that’s got to feel good kind.

00:30:41
Speaker 5: Of So.

00:30:44
Speaker 4: It’s like the type and throw it out there because you don’t know, you know, it’s it’s fish where you’re at. I was at a pond, so like the best place to initially test stuff is a pond or a private like because you know you can just go whack out some real quick.

00:31:01
Speaker 1: Sure you know what I mean, before you move on to a lake.

00:31:04
Speaker 4: You know, you go to a lake, you know, it have to be a certain time of year maybe, and things like that, and there’s so many different things. Maybe they’re on a craig bait today. You know, pond, it’s really easier private. Let you just go because you’re trying to catch as many can, so always start out somewhere you can just jack them.

00:31:21
Speaker 3: Makes a lot of sense.

00:31:22
Speaker 4: And uh so I throw it out there in the action. I was like, oh ship. I was like, this is awesome.

00:31:28
Speaker 3: Really.

00:31:28
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my goodness, it’s like doing everything perfect. Oh yeah, you can walk in place, both the popping and the walk when it’s everything about it so cool. I was like, this is awesome. I’m so excided. Then one blew up on it set the hook I caught in. The whole thing fell apart, and I was like, I don’t know, Yeah, it’s like that a lot you know what I mean. So it’s like very rarely uh with my stuff is it’s like you’re getting this dial in, you know, so you got it to get and so it was like you’re I was excited for like ten minutes maybe five minutes to talk about.

00:32:05
Speaker 1: The first one, and then I had had to.

00:32:07
Speaker 5: Go back in and figure out, you know why that was happening.

00:32:11
Speaker 1: That’s gotta be a fun process though.

00:32:13
Speaker 4: It’s cool, man. Yeah, that’s my favorite part. Is like like writing a song or or like making a song. You know, when you bring it to life, it’s kind of it’s just like the same, the.

00:32:22
Speaker 1: Same thing, you know.

00:32:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you know, yeah, maybe you’re acoustic in your lyrics and stuff, and like that’s that initial design or sketch and concept and then when you know, when you go through the prototype and everything, it’s like bring.

00:32:34
Speaker 5: The band in and then you’re in with the producer.

00:32:35
Speaker 1: You know, it’s like that same, absolutely the same as a song. To get to this, Yeah, this is the same. I feel that way about like cooking, like I love to like even when they when they came over yesterday, it’s like, man, I want to make that as good as I possibly can because I like to see things that I have influence on, whether it’s creating per se, you know, make people what people are people, and it is.

00:33:01
Speaker 3: That I created. It’s the songs, man, that’s exactly.

00:33:04
Speaker 1: How do y’all co write a whole lot?

00:33:06
Speaker 3: Or you kind of write stuff by yourself.

00:33:10
Speaker 1: Right with each other or other people.

00:33:12
Speaker 4: I don’t co write very much anymore, actually, not at all.

00:33:15
Speaker 5: On the new record, I ain’t correct anything.

00:33:17
Speaker 1: Uh.

00:33:18
Speaker 4: I usual to do it a little more when I was younger, and I don’t really do too much. If I do it, maybe it would be like John or Cody or something like that, or a friend. But I’ve kind of got away from co writting totally.

00:33:28
Speaker 1: I still do a little bit. I haven’t I haven’t done it up here in Nashville or I’ve done it. Yeah, a lot. You get it.

00:33:37
Speaker 2: John, what’s your like? What’s your did you grow up? You grow up fishing doing and fishing.

00:33:42
Speaker 6: I didn’t really start fishing until I met Cody and Chris and they were the fishing guys, so I’ve kind of grown up with them.

00:33:48
Speaker 1: So I mean, I’m a fishing guy.

00:33:50
Speaker 3: The fishing guys.

00:33:53
Speaker 6: Yeah, I wouldn’t say that catching. I love I like catching. So if I want to go catch fish, I’ll go with these guys. Sound like, yeah, you know, I got like four rods. A little we’ll find, but I got a little. I got a better three and a half acre on right in front of the house. Doctor fully trying to grow those guys. It’s pretty fun trying to grow that for all the kids and all that cass and nephews.

00:34:18
Speaker 1: Something I never had.

00:34:19
Speaker 3: Sure, Yeah, the same way.

00:34:21
Speaker 6: It’s an interesting thing to man. All the biology behind it. Wold whenever y’all said, what are you mad at minus otters?

00:34:28
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, to bring the bologist.

00:34:31
Speaker 5: I never believed.

00:34:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn’t either, never believe. I saw it.

00:34:35
Speaker 6: And they were cleaning out the pond the whole time. Whenever I bought the place, they just did.

00:34:39
Speaker 1: Right, isn’t that right? Yeah? Anything?

00:34:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, they get there like they get the legs and they pond hop about the number one about the numb I never knew this, it’s true though.

00:34:50
Speaker 5: There mean too. I was fishing.

00:34:53
Speaker 4: Back of the creek and like Fairfield years ago for it shut down, and uh, there was an otter like back there, and they like come up to the boat and stuff.

00:35:02
Speaker 5: Is I hissed at me.

00:35:03
Speaker 1: Come to the boat.

00:35:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, hissed at me. Try get a boat out.

00:35:07
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, I didn’t know.

00:35:14
Speaker 6: I do really protected and I can’t think it’s frowned upon.

00:35:18
Speaker 1: Yeah. God looked into it. Yeah, that is his back and then he come up to heaven.

00:35:30
Speaker 3: Hiskey mars.

00:35:32
Speaker 1: We couldn’t.

00:35:33
Speaker 6: We tried to hunt them, and it’s like they’re so smart, dude, They’re just like they’re sitting there laughing at you. We’d be there on one side at sunset, waiting on him, and they pop up on the other side.

00:35:41
Speaker 5: And just look at it from three hundred yards waist like you.

00:35:45
Speaker 1: Then we get around there, we sneak around there and they pop up on the other side. I mean we could.

00:35:49
Speaker 6: We never never shout one or anything. We ended up getting some guys to trap them and relocate them. That’s what we did back towards the Red River spot.

00:35:57
Speaker 2: Do y’all ever have time out on the road to to to get away you’ve gett an off day, go fish, go, go find a place to hunt anything like that.

00:36:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, on the road we do.

00:36:05
Speaker 6: But then the way we’ve been touring like this year especially is we’re so tired, dude, whenever you’re running like over a month straight, if you have two days off, it’s like once you get to that first day, it’s like, hey, we got this lined up, we got six boats and all this stuff. It’s like you start dragging out. Yeah it’s a little tough, but you really got six shows and rows one day. It’s like either you can lay up and relax and try to rejuvenate, or you can go get after it again. Then we’re not good at not drinking beer, so of course we’re gonna drink beer.

00:36:33
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:36:34
Speaker 4: Or you know, we fish a couple of times. Me Chris fished up in Minnesota b Arizona.

00:36:38
Speaker 1: Right.

00:36:39
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Now we weren’t with Mark. I mean we had before, but now we’re with one of his buddies. He hooked it up.

00:36:45
Speaker 1: There were a small mouth was it cast name?

00:36:48
Speaker 2: No?

00:36:48
Speaker 3: Large amounts?

00:36:50
Speaker 1: Wow?

00:36:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, large amouth Minnesota kid that.

00:36:57
Speaker 1: They weren’t super.

00:36:57
Speaker 4: Big like in Texas or nothing, but they were still you know, good like three pounders and stuff like that.

00:37:02
Speaker 1: We whacked them. That’s fine.

00:37:05
Speaker 4: So we did that this year and then I think that’s the only outdoors thing I did on it.

00:37:11
Speaker 2: I like, I asked this question we’ll do we’ll we’ll talk about this and then we’ll get onto the record.

00:37:17
Speaker 3: For each of you.

00:37:18
Speaker 2: If you had one day to be an outdoors to hunter, fish or whatever, where would it be and what would you be doing.

00:37:27
Speaker 5: One day?

00:37:28
Speaker 3: It would be fishing, it could be anything.

00:37:30
Speaker 1: Just here. What would you be doing? I’ll be all cutting in bountains with your bow? Yeah? Hell yeah sure?

00:37:41
Speaker 3: Where where’d you do that? Have you done that?

00:37:43
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:37:44
Speaker 4: I got one last year show on my bowl last year on my birthday, I was an Idaho. I’ve done Montana and then uh two years in Idaho.

00:37:52
Speaker 3: That’s awesome.

00:37:53
Speaker 4: Already, get time to do it. That’s like different. It’s like the bit. That’s the pinnacle. That’s right September, being in the mountain bugle and elk running on you. There’s nothing I’ve heard like that.

00:38:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we’ve done it all except that you gotta do that, and I’ve heard that like that is that is the mount mount everest of of the outdoor experience is insane.

00:38:14
Speaker 1: When they come down that mountain. Tell me your best elk story. I don’t know, I you know, I don’t know if I have that’s the elk story. I did have a I had a big one come in. It’s hard to get the big ones.

00:38:30
Speaker 4: To come in to you know, you see that on TV and stuff. Then big ones are smart, they’re like anything else. They’re gonna especially if they’re with the cows. You know, yeah, they ain’t coming because you could be hollering at them and maybe they’re you know, a jib. They don’t know how big you are. They don’t want you to take their cows. So a lot of times you’re gonna get you know, not herd bulls and usually some smaller satellites.

00:38:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh really in my.

00:38:55
Speaker 4: Experience, and I’ve had some good, good spots. But we did have a herd bull come in and we were on him for like two days. He was probably like three thirty three forty, so like legit, super super big bull and uh, golly, yeah, because it’s hard to get those bulls. You know, maybe you’re in a water hole or something, but just calling them it’s hard.

00:39:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, And uh, he was up there.

00:39:24
Speaker 4: They’re always up above you. You can’t never get up there. So we go up the mountain, we get on that kind of like that flat spot or whatever, and uh, his cows came down. So that’s like if their cows come down, that’s how you get the big down. They come down to check it out. And I was like, well, I’m not shooting anything crazy, like I’m not gonna shoot over sixty or anything like that. And I pegged it right where the cows come out in between these two trees, and I was like eight.

00:39:58
Speaker 1: I was like, no, he’s come right here. He’s gonna be eighty nine hours.

00:40:03

Speaker 4: The first time I went, it was a blizzard man, and I hate the snow. And my buddy I go with my buddy Sam. We met him and we did the Meat Eater podcast and he used to work for them Super Cool Cat and Big Hunter. You know, he’s like hardcore, you know, like from that kind of world out there today. It’s one of like crush mountains.

00:41:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, that’s what I was like, you know what, And it was snowing like a blizzard. I mean it was cool. I got some epic pictures like you know, like from walkers I’ve ever seen, just like.

00:42:12
Speaker 4: Walking up the mountain like faster than I walk like.

00:42:17
Speaker 1: And I like go over and I just fall back down. I go my fall back down time out for the musician. Man slow down. But it was hardcore.

00:42:30
Speaker 4: I mean it was like blizzarding, you know, like when we get on the ridge, you know, it’s it’s a little better to walk because the snow don’t stay up there, you know, and with that wind getting it, you know, you look like you’re on the Discovery Channel or something.

00:42:41
Speaker 1: You know. It was cool, but man, that that was hard. That was really really hard snows.

00:42:51
Speaker 2: Try to remember we’ve been in mon time before, and I remember I was so tired one time. I just I was going up this ridge trying to get the damn and I hit a hit, just a dead fall and went like my face.

00:43:04
Speaker 1: Into the snow.

00:43:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I just lay there and I was like maybe I’ll just go like maybe I’ll just lay here and just and just quit breathing.

00:43:12
Speaker 1: Question.

00:43:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, there’s so many dead falls up there, like when you get down with the snow’s deep too and stuff, and so you’re like, yeah, you’re just like getting.

00:43:20
Speaker 1: Especially you’re dragging your gun your.

00:43:23
Speaker 4: Back and the whole time to man, because you don’t want to clip to your bag. You really don’t. You might see that in a commercial or something. You don’t want to roll like that because something could just pop out, like you gotta have so you’ve got to carry your.

00:48:06
Speaker 2: Point yeahs out there superd Yeah.

00:48:13
Speaker 1: We had we had a great time.

00:48:15
Speaker 3: That place is awesome.

00:48:16
Speaker 1: We’re just some acoustics stuff. Yeah, a little thing and they went fish fish and hung out.

00:48:21
Speaker 4: They’re just good people and uh it’s a great brand, you know.

00:48:26
Speaker 1: It’s it’s just yeah, I’m just a big all of them were to love them.

00:48:36
Speaker 3: They’re gonna kill us. We don’t talk about me? Is that one thing?

00:48:42
Speaker 1: And Poison.

00:48:45
Speaker 2: We said something about how the road was hard. Road is about how we wish we could hunt more on the road. You’re this is your seventh studio album, how like, what’s what’s the process been? What what’s the what’s the difference between the first one and the seventh one?

00:49:03
Speaker 1: Or is it the same? We know a lot more now, is it.

00:49:10
Speaker 3: Well?

00:49:12
Speaker 4: We got to work with Jay on this one, you know, which is super great experience.

00:49:18
Speaker 1: Uh. He’s just so good.

00:49:21
Speaker 2: It’s so different and the way he goes about it.

00:49:23
Speaker 4: So good and let you be you know yourself. It’s just really great to work with him. And before that, we’re the two before that reproduced ourselves, which is nerve wracking and it’s cool, but it’s just like so much, you know, because you got to get your job and then you’ve got to do the producer’s job. I’m like, go to bed and I just have a headache every.

00:49:45
Speaker 1: Day, you know.

00:49:46
Speaker 4: And then so just going from that, I don’t know about the first one to now, because that’s such a long stretch.

00:49:52
Speaker 1: The two before that we were the Dab.

00:49:57
Speaker 6: We self produced, and then you know, so quite an adventure we had there.

00:50:03
Speaker 4: I think the biggest change is not having to do everything yourself and just putting your trust in somebody else to help you with decisions and to come up with decisions and not just us.

00:50:13
Speaker 1: You know.

00:50:13
Speaker 2: It’s a kind of a cool way to stay fresh though too, right, change.

00:50:19
Speaker 1: Which is not.

00:50:20
Speaker 2: Gonna be the same as days and is not gonna be the same as any of those.

00:50:23
Speaker 6: Still, you know, we could have produced this next one ourselves too, you know, we find about it, but me and Cody were both like, dude, it’s no you get sterile, like you get you know, you don’t want to get complacent.

00:50:34
Speaker 1: Now we found like change it.

00:50:36
Speaker 4: Like some of the ideas and the tones I feel like from the records, even though they sound completely different because we did you know, horns and stuff on one, but like, I don’t know, it’s there was something that I could hear. You know, it’s like a little certain things that maybe every ear the year, it’s like, oh, that’s getting a little sterile the same, like, let’s change it, you.

00:50:54
Speaker 3: Know, because nobody knows your music like you know.

00:50:57
Speaker 1: But at the same time, when you start trying to wear too hats, man, it can get It’s hard.

00:51:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, it’s hard, especially in that kind of setting where it’s use your brain, your brain while somebody else is playing.

00:51:08
Speaker 6: You use your brain like everybody’s play totally. And then you got to get in there and play and be creative.

00:51:12
Speaker 1: It’s you got to get out of there and be a dad and put your kids bed and freaking fish well fish Yeah, that balance it could be taxing, taxing, yeah for sure.

00:51:25
Speaker 4: But the first records, though, we just had no idea what we were doing and we were just kids. There’s something magic about that. There is absolutely you can’t ever recreate youth.

00:51:37
Speaker 6: Didn’t think about it, didn’t think twice about it.

00:51:40
Speaker 1: Is that funny, man, You never you don’t realize. We talk about it all the time. We’re like, what did we do with all our time? We thought we were busy, like and we had so much time to like figure out our music and figure out what we liked and figure out who we were, you know, and now it’s like, dude, I mean time for nothing living then too busy living absolutely and now you know, life tries to getting away.

00:52:04
Speaker 3: So we were talking.

00:52:05
Speaker 1: We had dinner with Renelle and his wife of the night, and she was talking about therapy and she was like, you know, you should really look at the therapy and I was like, well, they open at three am, because if they’re not, I don’t know when I would be able to make.

00:52:15
Speaker 5: It twenty four hour.

00:52:20
Speaker 1: But like you know, I was put one on retainer. Too busy cooking eggs and change the dippers the same time I’m I supposed to talk to somebody else. Yeah, it’s funny, man, But you’re right as far as that that youthful record or those youthful songs, you really can’t recreate.

00:52:40
Speaker 2: Who are Who are some of those biggest influences growing up?

00:52:44
Speaker 1: Now? You know? Who do you? Who do you are? You like listening to who?

00:52:46
Speaker 6: Kind of all over the bands, we’re all kind of sitting stone with the same stuff, but we’re all kind of like I can speak for myself. My family is all like classic rock and roll. So I grew up on you know, Zeppelin and all severyone. You know, Stevie didn’t even He’s in a different realm for me actually, but I grew up on that. You know, led Zepplin’s always my favorite band, and then you throw in country from Cody stuff, you know. For me, like growing up, it was definitely like country Kinnard and Junior from my parents and Alan Jackson, stuff like that that would have been on the radio at that time. And then you had from that.

00:53:27
Speaker 4: They would also listen to skinnerd and Marsh Tucker Band sure a little bit brother stuff like that. So at a younger age it was that maybe little Stones, and then.

00:53:37
Speaker 1: Cody Tate was like Bill.

00:53:38
Speaker 6: We call him Bill because there’s too many Cody’s Bill was like little Feet, so you can see so you can.

00:53:45
Speaker 1: See now that’s like my favorite van kind of go in and out of everything right but right now.

00:53:56
Speaker 3: And I always think about what do I listen to when I’m.

00:53:58
Speaker 1: At the beach, and it’s those cats right now because I feel once again, I mean, you’re you tapped.

00:54:03
Speaker 3: Into it with the youthful thing.

00:54:05
Speaker 1: I think a little bit I felt like those bands at the time they were making Bro, they were just doing they were just doing what they love. You can feel that, man, it’s crazy. You can also feel that in y’all’s record. I would have absolutely guessed that those were your influences because the record, the record is it out, it’s out, Okay, it’s out. When this podcasting is it’s out.

00:54:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, came out in the future.

00:54:35
Speaker 1: Listen to it right now. But man, I could I could. I caught myself today, like thinking on the ride end, when I was jamming, I was like, Dude, I could I could listen to this on a boat, you know what I mean? Like I could, I could crank this on boat. And it lives in this line of like country subject matter, but you know some like mega rock, but not like but of soul. You know, there’s bad rock out there, and it’s not. I don’t feel like it’s influenced by bad Yeah, I feel like it’s influenced more about like a Crows and always back at the blues, you know, it always does always.

00:55:18
Speaker 4: So I find like, and I think we’re all like this, and I think that’s why our band sounds the way it does is like and this. I think this is everybody but speaking from my point of view, so I always find myself gravitating towards bands that were that had like not just one like you know sound so like Skinnered is heavily influenced. You know, they’re a rock and roll band, but they’re heavy, heavily. They have like country influences, the blues, rolling Stones, super like wild Horses, like those one of the best country songs ever, Dead Flowers. So they have all those influences, little feet and stuff like that. And I think that’s why we sound the way we do when we kind of go for whatever genre we want to. And I think it’s because you know, Tom Petty, same thing. And it’s like I always gravitate to the people that kind of have different influences the spectrum in their music.

00:56:12
Speaker 1: And it makes music good. You know, I don’t like genres. You can music.

00:56:20
Speaker 5: It’s all over the place.

00:56:21
Speaker 4: The band, you know, they you saw all those bands that we just named, like they blended all that stuff. So I think that’s what makes music great.

00:56:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, Curious was my jam. There’s some good stuff on there. Man. Uh the like did a whole uh man, I wrote it, I wouldn’t write it down.

00:56:45
Speaker 6: Sorry, And the way, didn’t we don’t know, you don’t know what’s the record.

00:56:55
Speaker 1: While I’m doing it. I’ll tell you this. My daughter, because you’re a little three fan, got out of the car or the other day she goes, hey, uh, my mom’s name is one Nita, and she goes, there’s a song about Nina.

00:57:09
Speaker 3: I heard today on the way home from school.

00:57:10
Speaker 1: And I was and it’s that one Nita.

00:57:14
Speaker 3: What are you up to?

00:57:15
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, that ain’t about.

00:57:20
Speaker 3: That’s about Nina. I can’t pull all this something.

00:57:22
Speaker 5: Chris is cool, man, Yeah, there was one.

00:57:24
Speaker 6: He was like, it seemed like you’re kind of timid about and I was like, that’s like you’re I mean, it seemed like you were.

00:57:31
Speaker 1: I don’t know.

00:57:31
Speaker 5: We hadn’t talked about it since then. I was like, because it’s so different.

00:57:39
Speaker 1: Identify with that song, man, do you do you feel like, I mean, you don’t have to go into it too much, but do you feel like on that tune you’re kind of saying, oh, you know, I don’t even want to put the words mouth you tell me what you’re saying in the song Rowdy Days, you’re trying to get across.

00:57:58
Speaker 4: I don’t know when I’m trying to get across that. I never right with a preconceived notion. It just comes from the stars, really, like I just get out of the way and just try a channel, you know. I think songs it’s kind of floating around the universe.

00:58:10
Speaker 2: Just reach up and grabbing that day.

00:58:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that weird.

00:58:13
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I mean that seems like a lot of people kind of you it that way. That’s how I view it, and so anything that I get from it is like after you know, retrospect, you know, like I think it’s like a song of reflection or something like that.

00:58:29
Speaker 1: Probably that’s what it felt like. It felt like a like they felt like you were tired, honestly, like like like you love what you do, but you’re just kind of tired of the road. Man. I identify with that, especially after seven records. It’s like the thing you love the most. It’s a love hate relationship.

00:58:45
Speaker 4: I’m sure, man, it’s like wrestling and dragon or something. Every time you go to write a record. For me, it’s not like this enjoyable process. It’s like, really, it’s like I go slay this month.

00:58:56
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:58:56
Speaker 6: Yeah, that’s just how I got mentality, like.

00:59:04
Speaker 4: Happy, like oh lucky, Yeah, it’ll be great, like it’s just for me. I guess that’s with anything. It’s like all right here, we got you got y’all.

00:59:14
Speaker 2: Got seven dragons on your wall, I guess because we all do.

00:59:18
Speaker 1: It like that.

00:59:18
Speaker 6: Even when it we go like urs for the record, it’s like we don’t go pee diddle around.

00:59:23
Speaker 1: We go dive in for like.

00:59:24
Speaker 6: Two or three, you know, two or three weeks, Like we put your phones aside and go dive in.

00:59:31
Speaker 1: Like you said, a sports it’s probably sports.

00:59:33
Speaker 5: Game time is coming ready. Yeah, I don’t go.

00:59:37
Speaker 4: With like the hippie thing. It’s like I’m about to get medieval on that.

00:59:41
Speaker 1: And that’s even before the tour.

00:59:43
Speaker 6: We do that before the tours, just like you know, we mess around until right before whenever it’s game time. Then we go in and get ready and we’ve done it forever. Record that way he does it with song riding that way. Well, I never really looked at it that way.

00:59:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, what’s been the decision to to never chase the uh the commercial label thing, to stay independent, to do it your own way?

01:00:06
Speaker 1: You think I got three point seven billions probably like that money over here.

01:00:10
Speaker 4: That helps, you know, that helps you don’t really need that. I don’t know, you know, we never set out to be like what you would say, like famous or on TV or something like that. For us, it was all about like playing music, and like we did it the old school way, Like we just went and played like every bar, you know what I mean. Like we never thought about we never chased singles and stuff.

01:00:31
Speaker 1: And I think that was.

01:00:34
Speaker 4: Probably just probably in an effort to keep our music authentic and to be a band that can do like we’re gonna go make a record is we don’t know what it’s gonna sound like. We don’t give a shit, you know, like we ain’t trying to fit a box.

01:00:49
Speaker 1: You know.

01:00:49
Speaker 4: I don’t know if you could do that if you if you had a record deal or something like that, but we always it was really important, I feel like, to keep the integrity of our vision sure well, which is just kind of we never thought we would end up having this much success. We just wanted to be a cool, underground band and that that kind of frees you up to play like fifteen minute songs on stage and stuff.

01:01:11
Speaker 1: I feel like, oh, definitely, And so that was it.

01:01:15
Speaker 4: I think it was just to keep the integrity of your music. Because I think it would have been hard if we ever went that path, that our music at some point would have had to change to fit, you know, a certain box. So that never interests us because we really only cared about playing music together and the music itself. We weren’t looking for any sort of accolades. I think not all people are musicians are like that. I think a lot of them are looking for the screen time and the praise and stuff. And it sounds like not real, but that’s like true, Like that’s just how we always were. We were just like this band that we’re just a juke joint band, man, like yeah, and we just we just went out there and played like every honkey talk in Texas, you know, starting out like we just hit the We booked it shows ourselves for a while and stuff like. It was that like old school pound the pavement. There wasn’t some big crazy playing, you know.

01:02:08
Speaker 6: It wasn’t like, oh, we’re gonna be rock stars and it’s like that we’re just doing it.

01:02:14
Speaker 1: Going to prison or something.

01:02:16
Speaker 6: We weren’t gonna be doctors when we couldn’t make it to college and it ain’t gonna be no doctor.

01:02:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was, Yeah, I thought I was gonna move back home and take over my local eye doctors joint being being optometrists. Failed physics twice and he got drunk one time and uh and t you below it Dan Show. And my girlfriend called me and she’s like, how you feel physics again? I was like, oh, man, you’re getting into optomics school. I was like figured.

01:02:46
Speaker 1: Figured. She’s like, we’re gonna do it.

01:02:47
Speaker 2: I was like, I think of moving to Nashville. She’s like, what what does that mean about us? I was like, we’re done, broke up. Well, we moved to Nashville and here we are.

01:02:55
Speaker 3: Yeah.

01:02:56
Speaker 1: I was in the middle of like Steve some Steve Miller and song. He was on the front road going, hey, I broke up with my girlfriend oving to Nashville. I was like, we’re talking about this later, man, Like I got three hours worth of gig to go. Dude, you’re already drunk. Yeah, we didn’t have to be out. Did you work in the prison? Tried to go, you know, work at the hospital or work at.

01:03:18
Speaker 5: The road, the little field or something like that.

01:03:21
Speaker 3: So for me, man, it’s weird.

01:03:23
Speaker 1: It’s like, as as much as I’m looking back now, as much as I tried to run from it always found a way.

01:03:31
Speaker 3: It was like music, I’m talking about it. We give me time and then it.

01:03:35
Speaker 1: Would just kind of readjust mysels a little bit. How I always end up back in music. I always had bands, even from high school coming up. And it’s funny how you know. And then to you guys credit, it’s like, once you because we did the same thing. We booked our own shows. We I mean three hundred bucks and you know, traveled all over the place, had to have that money to get to the next gig the next night. We did all that for ten fifteen years. And uh, but once you do that, whether it’s songwriting, whether it’s being in a band, or whether it’s building your own.

01:04:09
Speaker 3: Lures, it’s like, can’t nobody tell you ship.

01:04:13
Speaker 1: After you do that, after you create something out of your own brain or your own hard or reaching up and grabbing those ideas and turning that into way to like feed your family and provide for your for your family, can’t they tell you nothing? They shouldn’t be able to tell you nothing. You earned it, you know, Yeah, absolutely. I just don’t think people get enough credit for that, like because they never see that backstory, dude, They never played in the Delta to three people that didn’t give a.

01:04:39
Speaker 3: Shit about what you’re saying.

01:04:40
Speaker 1: To pack all that stuff up and go drive home and go contemplate with your band. Are we doing the right thing? Do it again from back home? Do it again.

01:04:50
Speaker 3: The next day we’re.

01:04:51
Speaker 4: Probably showing Amarillo and there was two people there, dude.

01:04:54
Speaker 1: The Golden Light. Two people. Yes, they get there. It’s a real thing.

01:05:04
Speaker 6: You get done with your I think one was eating, one was actually looking at.

01:05:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, I’ve been there, man, that’s the one I think about.

01:05:14
Speaker 1: My my buddy Jamie, we played at this place in the Mississippi Delta, dude, and it was like a six hour drive and we went all the way down there and it was in some strip mall and there’s like one car in front of it, and we were.

01:05:26
Speaker 3: Like, this is not good.

01:05:28
Speaker 1: Good dude, And you walk in there’s no green room. They’re just sitting at the bar waiting to play, and doubt’s fighting you the whole gig, man, what are you doing?

01:05:37
Speaker 3: What are you doing?

01:05:37
Speaker 1: And going through the motions and nobody’s out there.

01:05:42
Speaker 6: You know they can get you could get you, just like.

01:05:48
Speaker 2: The just like the hunting question, what if you had one night to play a gig.

01:05:52
Speaker 1: Where would it be? What venue? The moon?

01:05:58
Speaker 5: Sure?

01:06:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, we always It’s always been our number one goal in this band, and we want to see it filled one day.

01:06:07
Speaker 2: No, for real, for real, real, play a gig on the moon.

01:06:11
Speaker 1: Ran we got close. What you mean you got close? We got we got literally.

01:06:22
Speaker 6: They took us up and it says no, no, But we know this guy that was associated with NASA and you know cat tech, you know, but you got to do stuff.

01:06:35
Speaker 1: I think, well, you got to be a shape. So it’s like moon ship, we got to be a moon shaped. You know, we can’t break a roll of cod I’m too scared to get an milk shape. We had to do that.

01:06:52
Speaker 6: Yeah. But he was like, dude, I think we have an opportunity, and he had been, you know, talking to NASA stuff.

01:06:57
Speaker 1: For sure, I think we can’t get to the moon. Yeah that be cool.

01:07:00
Speaker 6: We can’t get to the moon, but I’m pretty sure we can have an opportunity to do it in space. And we were like, oh ship, you know, we’re getting older, dude, like like for real, we’re still down.

01:07:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, became in like an opportunity.

01:07:14
Speaker 4: Maybe we have to do that one day.

01:07:18
Speaker 6: In space, and it was like, could you imagine the pr like what we could be the first man to play in space.

Speaker 1: You don’t think ABC wants to tap into.

01:07:26
Speaker 5: That, man, Yeah, I’ll be rad.

01:07:30

01:07:38
Speaker 1: We got a haul in on equipment. I don’t know.

01:07:45
Speaker 4: I don’t even know if it’s like possible, but that’s still a goal, you know.

01:07:50
Speaker 1: Yeah.

01:07:50
Speaker 6: Then we got into sound and it was like, well, can you play guitar through an amp in space?

01:07:54
Speaker 1: Does that even? Like?

01:07:55
Speaker 5: Can you hear me in zero gravity? Does that even work?

And and that’s the rocks you know that are in the green room and there’s the river stream flowing through there. It was like, man, they’re pumping water in here to look cool, and it’s like, not, that’s the water. Look back there in the back you can see where the water runs and it runs down into the floor and down to the rest of this is super cool.

I don’t know, I got like ten names or something, you know. And uh then I was just like, for some reason, they’re talking about artwork and ship and I was just like looking at words on my phone at the style, and I seen like and then those days kind of glowed at me.
