Bussin' With The Boys - Jelly Roll

Episode Date: April 14, 2021

Recorded: April 12, 2021 | Rapper, singer, reformed drug dealer, self-proclaimed white trash piece of shit, and NASHVILLE LEGEND: it's the boy Jelly Roll! After way too long, Jelly and The Boys finally figured out a time to get on the bus together, and it yielded the miraculous pod we all knew it would be. The three boys start out with some classic dick talk, followed by a quick brainstorm session where Jelly Roll comes up with a BIG business idea, and then Taylor shares a story about catching his mom doing something he wishes he could unsee. Next, Jelly takes The Boys on a deep dive into the music industry and explains why labels are milking artists dry and how his next deal could change the way artists do business forever. Then, The Boys explain how NFL trades happen, why certain moves sometimes get leaked to the press before even the players find out, and they discuss the ins and outs of negotiating contracts in the league. Finally, Jelly opens up about his dark past (including missing the birth of his daughter while he was in prison) and how it prepared him to handle the success that he has found in music over the years. TIER 1's: Lock in for the boys. Find a Tier 2 and tell them that this is their chance to step it up. This episode is almost 2 HOURS of solid pod, and it's comin' in hot as soon as you press play. ----- SHOP: https://store.barstoolsports.com/collections/bussin-with-the-boys FOLLOW THE BOYS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bussinwtb Twitter: https://twitter.com/BussinWTB Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BussinWTB Website: https://www.bussinwtb.com ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS: Chevy Silverado - The Strongest, Most Advanced Silverado Ever.

Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

Our presenting sponsor of Chevrolet has get, Chevy has given us another opportunity to shout them out because they have joined Barsoil and Buck with the Boys. My God, that came out horribly. The strongest most advanced Silverado ever is now out there and is ready for you to go and buy. We love you. We appreciate you.

We'll give you the moon. You want the moon, Janice? We'll give you the moon. You want me to take a lasso and pull it up,

throw it in the air and pull it down for you? I'll do my best to do that. Chevrolet, advanced, durable, dependable. You can do so many things with it, dude. So many things. Well, what can you do with the Silverado? You can tailgate. You can haul, that new big screen TV,

that new boat that you want to show your friends off with, towing, off-roading, moving day. Maybe you don't want to do moving day. Maybe your friend needs to do moving day. You just want to film the keys. Chevy has got your back specifically that new sexy Chevy Silverado. Go to a dealership close by. Tell him the boy set you, especially in this greater Nashville location.

Beautiful city. Chevy Silverado, dealership, the boy sent you. Take a video. Show us. We might give you something. But now to the episode, Jelly Roll, he was phenomenal. Bussing with the boys. Oh, I mean, strong lead up, and then it's over.

That's my boy. That's my dog. Really? You don't know, I'm calling him DJ. I'm calling my bad DJ. You know what? So you've met him. You've been around the guy.

You know what? I haven't met him. We've just talked a lot. So, you know, he went to, he went to school here when it, like his earlier teenage years. Oh, I didn't know that. And he found the music and was like, he hit me up with a message one day. It was just like, look, man.

He did his voice messages a lot. And he was just like, look, man, I understand. Like, a lot of people, this was like real early, like 16, like 2016. I hadn't done nothing substantial. Right. But he was just like, look, man, I understand your breed of guy from Nashville because I live there. He was like, just keep picking at it. People won't get it at first.

But when it translates, it's going to go. Really? And, dude, like, rocked with me ever since, man. That's very cool. Dude, he's probably the coolest relationship I've ever had with like a celebrity. Yeah. I mean, he's like the celebrity. not like be cool of celebrity.

He has no reason to fuck with me, though. Right. Like, he gains fucking nothing. Yeah. From taking the time to message me and send me bottles of fucking. He, he didn't really have to fuck with anybody. You know what I'm saying?

Like, he kind of just, he's unfuckable with. Right? If a poll comes out, he's unfuck withable. Yeah. If 46% of polls come out and they say, yeah, we'll embrace him as our next president, we had two issues. We had one not issue. The Rock's that popular.

And this dude doesn't have a platform. He didn't know what the fuck he's talking about. about you might he might say no one can have babies anymore and everyone's like all right 46% has already said yes so that's really let's get four more isn't that crazy yeah like he's 46% and we just got a new president right mean it wasn't like close to election time they started campaign people always like already three months and they're like yeah but what about the next guy yeah we get duway johnson ready dude that shit is i mean this the whole political thing has gotten a little it's gotten fucking wild but even when trump was in office shrek dick yeah it does it was the worst

I can't imagine the smell of that dick. Yeah, swamp nuts, right? Yeah. That's what I tell people. That's a swampy fucking dick, man. It's got to be. Ain't no manscape fits in that. No man's getting a nice plug.

You like that? I like the plug. Also, I see that the time's rolling, so I'm assuming that we're rolling. And that means that you are now in Bustin with the boys. We're a jelly roll, and we are presented by Chevrolet. Chevy.

Chevy. I forgot to tell you they were trying to get away from the name Chevrolet. Well, we'll just cut that then. Just cut that one way, huh? But we were on here briefly, I mean, I'm sure the first minute and 12 seconds caught it, you talked about sucking Shrek Dick and then, um, you said something else about sucking dick. Yeah,

you've had two. Within the last five minutes, you brought up sucking dick twice. I called somebody a cock sucker and you've been stuck on it every street. Well, you thought yourself a cock, and then you referred to you said, do you suck cock? Either way, because you were like, who's the cock sucker? Yeah.

It was almost as if like, guilty. Yeah. I was like, well, fuck. I'm not. Like, you caught me in and I transitioned. The dick was in my mouth at the time. Are you, so what's with the oral fixation? Is that like a thing you've always been into?

Is dick sucking or? No, no. I mean, I love having my dick sucks. Okay. Right? It's way less, way less exerting for a big fellow than actually fucking a girl. Yeah. Right.

You can hit the starfish, but yeah. Being a big dude, you know, if I had to pick between getting the head or fucking, it just depends on whether or not I get to lay still either way, right? Yeah, yeah. But if I've got to, like, physically mount the horse, yeah, I'm going to get my dick sucks. Exactly. It's a lot of movement. I mean, for me, even will.

Yeah, it calls me sometimes and I had sex I was all how to go. He goes, I'm just exhausted, man. She just, she never said stop. It's just ridiculous. It's close to being a chore. It really is. No, for sure. I feel like when you're like 15, 16, whenever you start losing your virginity.

For me, I was at the lucky age of 14. Had no idea what I was doing. I'm sure it was awful for her. Oh, I wish it was somebody's mom. I had a friend with a really hot mom. I'll dive into that later. But you start getting to that. It's like, how high can you get those numbers up, right?

If you're like the guy, like, you've had sex. How can you get the numbers up? You're trying positions. you're reading books on commasutra you're trying to figure out life oh for sure you're on that dial up internet yeah you're on the dial up internet looking up weird shit giving computer as aides back then that that type of shit and then you fucking i mean then you get yourself a snorkel you yourself a turkey sandwich you go down on somebody for 45 minutes like you start to figure out what it's like to be a lover yeah no absolutely and meanwhile you have no idea what the hell you're doing now you fast forward i'm 29 turning 30 soon

will's in his 30s mid 30s i'm not sure how old you are i'm close to split the difference split the difference depends on And it kind of becomes like, you kind of look, you're doing this sway, this dance. And it used to be the dance of love. But now it's like, how are we going to get this done? Yeah, for sure. And how fast can we get this thing done? How can we both be not hate each other about how this ends?

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But as efficient as possible. Yes, absolutely. And get to sleep. Yeah, because you've got to get your eight hours. As soon as you're done, that's what they said about, some guy had a bit on Lewis C.K. When he did the jerk off thing in front of women.

And the comedian said, like, the least, like, violent seeming person as a person after masturbated. Like, after you're done, you're kind of it's on you and you're just slumped over, kind of sad. You look like, just feeling disgusting. Oh, that was, Chappelle? That was the best kid ever.

He's like, I was hilarious. He was like, I'm just saying, you'll come on my stomach. Yeah. Just fucking now you're just kind of, all right. I've always wanted to be on this podcast and could have never predicted the first five minutes would be so pornographic. Oh, you couldn't have predicted that? I mean, I knew.

I knew I was going to go deep, but Jesus Christ, I thought we'd wait to like the 40 minute marks. Yeah. Just completing that. I thought we passed the Taramana around. It looks like y'all got a Jack sponsor, too, because it's all you got. Y'all got some real sponsors, dude. Yeah.

Y'all didn't go for the little shit, did you? Hey, he wasn't like such and such CBD. You were like, we'll take Chevrolet and Jack Daniels. Yeah. You know what I wish. I wish it was that easy. People just don't want sponsors. We're like, get out of here with the peasant bullshit.

We want the top dogs. They play a little cat and mouse. But we got their ass, dude. The Chevy joined on. This is the second podcast being presented by Chevy. Dude, congratulations. It's been a cool world. I thought that was cool.

When I seen the Shepie like the post, I was like, there's no way that's real. Yeah. There's no way that's fucking. I thought the same thing. Yeah, I was, yeah, it's got to be, you got the pillar.

I like the pillar. Yeah, that's not how you say it, but that's exactly what it is. The pillar. And you call it. Pillarlet and you get on me on. I say this mother's fucking. This mother's fucking.

This is a middle motherfucker. Listen, this guy's a lot of life. You called your sponsor, Chevrolet. Yeah. I get mad for saying pillar. A pillar, I mean, yes, both are very fucked up. But a pillar.

Where are you picking that up from? That's not Nashville. That's a roleism. It's like Winder. A WIT? No. We're not going to do this. You're already jumping into shit that you're going to start to establish

Winder, Pillar, Knife. What's next? You know what I'm saying? So it's pillow and that's a window. And we have sponsors, but we can't afford AC. What do you call? How do you say, how do you say wash? Washer.

Warsh. Texas. You say Worcher, huh? I say Warshire. Yeah. It's kind of, some people in Missouri said that to Worsher. I can get up. We're not that far south.

Yeah, you start getting that Cajun stuff, but even Pillar's not Cajun. I don't know. Yeah. I like the way you say it. I don't too. He's the first person that ever blatantly hated on me. Yeah. He doesn't hate it.

Right. The fucking grammar. That's good about being. You know what I'm saying? When you're a chain like this, I don't know if you've heard, but Derek ran for 2000. Oh, sorry. I did her for 2000, and I helped the minimum amount to get credit on the score.

So I can kind of do what the fuck I want. Your post about it was funny, but the change is not what gives you the right to do whatever you want. It's the outfit. I appreciate that, man. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Any man that showed up like that is confident as a mother-fiance.

Thank you. I, um, yes. It's weird, too, because my penis is so small, but like I am very confident. Dick size doesn't determine confidence. Thank you. I would be here. I appreciate that. I appreciate that.

There's a small minds of turtle hair that hasn't posted. It just looks like a button on a coat, doesn't it? Yeah. Yeah, for sure, it's bad. If I squeezed too tight, it wouldn't even look like a button. That's tough. It just completely goes. Yeah, we can go on all day about how small our penises is, but I feel like...

We're still circled back to this, dude. I've already come in the room and said, what are you listening to? And the 13-year-olds are now getting in trouble? Chevroletes listening. Oh, go. Hey, present him by, not for long, Chevolette. Yeah, Chubbies, dude, we're not sponsored by Chubbies, so no free shout-outs, but they sent this, and it was kind of fire.

She kind of had to wear. right it's fucking bro when you put it on you're you're into it the minute i put it like this is the look oh this is a vibe and then i shaved my entire face i had the worst jaw line this side of the mississippi but i thought with a mustache i'll just look this five rock for a little bit dude i think it's working for you i appreciate that for what my opinion matters i think i think it's rock well right now it's the it's important i mean there's what seven people in here it's top seven most important opinions right now i agree yeah for sure i think they'll comment if you really fuck with the outfit, leave a comment,

let us know what you think about chubbies. I appreciate that. Let us know what you think about chubbies. How big does chubbies get to? I think they do it with 3x. I think it's just chubby. I think it's just chubby. Okay.

There's a difference between chubbies and fatties and I get left out right between that mark. You should make fatties. Yeah, that's it. Fat. Come out of the line. Yeah, absolutely. You're small as a double X.

Yeah, that's it. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Yeah, baby. You're welcome. We'll take 10%. We'll try it.

We've got a good idea. This episode of Bustin with the Boys with Jelly Roll is brought to you by canopy fans. I think I may have stumbled upon the next essential tailgating accessory. I can't tell you how many hot tailgates I've been to were. I've wished for this. It's called Canopy Breeze Canopy Fan, and it's literally a ceiling fan that installs in portable canopies. Think you sports and tailgates. even things like campgrounds, registration booths,

or your daughter selling Girl Scout cookies, anywhere you can find a portable canopy is perfect for this thing. My man, jelly roll is going to help us with a couple of these talking points. But number one, it's rechargeable. There's no outlet or extension cord necessary, and it runs for six hours on a full battery charge.

It is also compatible with most outdoor canopies. It installs in seconds. There are four hooks on the top that unfold and hang over the canopy frame. snap the fan blades in and that's it. You operate with a remote and everything fits in a cool case. So you just pack it in the car and with all your other tailgate equipment and also air.

It literally will move air. Sometimes the air can get so stalled at those canopies, especially when there are a lot of people. Canopy breeze makes things so much more comfortable. And for bar stool and busing listeners only, you can say 15% a day. Go to canopy fan.com today and use coupon code bus. and that's B-U-S-S-I-N and say 15% with free shipping in the lower 48. Now, can we get back to this fire episode with us? Absolutely.

Let's do it, baby. The, well, speaking of chubbies and fatties I've seen recently, obviously I'm a follower on the Instagram. You have been working out, dieting, and doing all that. What brought that on? I lost quite a few pounds. You wouldn't believe it, but I've lost a little weight. You look good. So I don't want to get deep because I like to joke like we've been joking.

We can go back and forth. Yeah, it was like, you know, I was like, you know, I battle with depression naturally, right? Like it's something I've dealt with my whole life. And not touring for a year really fucked with me. It was like more than I thought it would. Like when they took touring away because of COVID, I was like, dude, I was already fat. But I mean, I just blimped up, dude.

I just, I mean, I just, I didn't like, I didn't realize how much a part of my genetic code it was. I gained like a hundred something pound. Wow. Really? You know how hard you got to work to gain that much weight in a fucking year? That's tough. I mean, like, I had to.

like vigorously. Like, I mean, I almost had like set a goal of 7,000 calories a fucking day to do it. It was rough, right? I don't know how it happened. I was just, I kind of lived in denial the first four or five months. I was like, oh, we'll be on tour in October, whatever.

Yeah. And it just never came back around. So the beginning of this year, I was like, man, I just fucking, you know, I don't want, like, I tell people all the time, like, I pick on myself. I pick on other fat people because, like, fucking whatever, right? But it's low hanging fruit, right? If you ever see a dude that's like dealing with. with real obesity, that's like somebody dealing with a real addiction.

That's like somebody dealing with like a real like they're dealing with something. Like this is not like, just quit eating fatty. It's like, yeah, well, tell your mama quit fucking sucking dick or tell your cousin quit shooting heroin. Like it's not that fucking easy. Tell your alcoholic dad just stop today. You know what I mean? Like just tell them just put the bottle down.

He's been drinking 30 something years. I'll just drop it today, won't he? So it's like when you see that there's something deeper rooted there. And I was like, man, I need to. I call it my last mountain. I overcame poverty. I came out of a sit. When I started making music, Taylor and Wheel, let me tell you all something, boss.

Nobody said I had a chance. I mean, they bet the farm against me. I was too big. Now, hold on real quick. Why did they say that you had no chance? Because there's lots of people that look all different ways. Now. That have been.

Now, I want you to think about, do you remember there was a time in professional wrestling where everybody was yoked and had a six-pack? I don't know if you remember this era. I don't know if you remember this era. or like you had to look like, you know, it was before like the Stone Colds was yoked. But I mean, there was a moment where you had to be a Hulk Hogan looking guy. Yeah.

Or some sort of a gargantuan of a man. You know what I mean? Like there was a moment there like there was a moment in music before the internet where before all the littles and weird rappers with face tattoos and all that shit. Yeah. Was before all that still. That, you know, there was like, well, we can't sell it to women. Back then it was late night TV.

We can't put you on TV. You're too big. Your voice isn't. cool enough. You need a signature tone to your voice. Your voice isn't, it just won't work. The voice doesn't match the look. The look doesn't, you don't dress rock and roll enough or you don't dress rap enough. I was too

rock and roll for rap. I was too rap for rock and roll. There was just so many things that they were like, it's just not, you just don't have a chance. It's just, you're just wasting your time. Now, is there a specific they that you're thinking of what you're telling us right now? Every label. Well, I never signed a one. I got turned down by every label from here to California and back. Yeah. I mean, every label in the United States.

has told me no at one point in time. And round of applause, I got every label sitting on the desk right now. Let's fucking go, boys. Round of applause. Every one of those labels, my lawyers got like eight offers right now sitting on the desk.

I'm like, fuck all of you. Yeah. But it's like I was in a place where I overcame, but I overcame that mountain. Like I figured that out. I knew I had a cool voice. I just knew the right people I had to hear it. The song content,

dude, I make music for like, like, y'all are like the working NFL guys. I make music for those people. don't make music for it. Motherfuckers aren't singing about what I sing about. You know what I'm saying? This is a totally absurd thing to be singing about. Now, give me an example of things like that.

You came in, Lyle's call. Yeah. Like, think about, like, besides this really somber, sad songs like Adele, hello, which was still about a lost partner. Yes. Right. Most of those songs involve heartbreak or country of the dog dies or something like that. But it's never like, yo, I'm battling my demons.

Yeah. Like, that's the shit I'm talking about. I'm making music for, I joked. with the label dude, he took me out to eat at Kane Prime. And he was like, I can't believe the people in this restaurant don't know who you are. I was like, I promise you every cook does. Before we left, every fucking dude in that bad kitchen came out and took a picture. Really?

Yes. Ballet dude. Jelly Roll, we parked your truck up front. You know what I'm saying? I was like, I didn't expect the motherfucker buying the steak at Kane Prime to know me. But I expected the motherfucker working at Kane Prime to know me for me for sure because that's who I'm fucking with. That's my guy. You know what I'm saying?

But back then, people wasn't making music for these dudes. You know what I'm saying? There wasn't nobody writing music for a group of people that don't have people writing music for them. It was like a rare thing back then. And it's, I mean, it became more acceptable because of the Internet because now you just fucking run into everybody, right? Yeah, TikTok and all this things. You have millions of view is no problem. Yeah, it's a subway in fucking New York is what the Internet is.

You're running everybody now. But back then, that wasn't the case. I overcame that. I overcame coming out of the situation I was in. I overcame real drug addiction. We all are dealing with a dude that'll have a shot of tequila with you at noon now. There was a dude that would have showed up here on a four-day bender sipping codeine and snorting cocaine right off your table. Like, yeah, let's talk about this on the podcast.

Yeah. I came over and came all that. Now, I just got to get this fat up off of me. That's my last mountain, baby. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to get it off. I lost it before and gained it back. And then, you know, I played yo-yo with the diet shit.

The Jonah Hill? The Jonah Hill diet. Jonah, where you're changing sizes every 15 minutes. Yeah. I dealt with that. Oprah Winfrey to go back to the 90s for you. Yeah, that's it. Yep.

Oprah did it first. She made a popular. 90s. Yeah, back to the 90s. So these other rappers that are kind of talking about all, now I'm, let's just put a line in the stand right now. I don't know much about rapist or what rappers do, right? Like I listen to music.

I've obviously heard the baby masterpiece and all those things. But if you're talking about these other rappers, I'm seeing like thousands of these, I don't say little guys, like these little, I don't want to say kids, but these little guys who are tiny dudes, face tattoos. you got the Takashi 6-9 guy like they're all rapping about the same thing and I feel like the the code for rapping is hose money sell drugs murder people yeah for sure and then that's kind of like the the melting pot of yeah the big main things right obviously they go in different areas and so what changed between then and now were these other people that had face tattoos also that

were allowed you to kind of be opened up by labels or was it you persevering through the walls It was persevering. It was just putting out content. Yeah, it was like just like constant content. That's why I'm a fan of y'all's show, right? Like I watched y'all build this thing from something small and can't like, dude, we joke about it. But fucking you got a Chevrolet sponsorship. Yeah.

This is fucking huge. Right? It's like when you started this or when y'all started this, there's a lot of people right now rooting for y'all on the internet who feel like y'all's sponsorship is their sponsorship. They're that invested in there. So like our dude did it. Our fucking guy did it. Me and Will was having to talk about how the NFL and the podcast balance each other and how, you know, what's important to him and I don't want to get deep into that unless he does.

But we talked about this before you came on the bus. And it was like there's a moment where people are following what's going to happen with Will. Right. Right. They want to know. Like, who you playing for? He has his own free agent watch. But it just gets bigger, right?

Because people become invested in that. You know what I'm saying? And I just did it the same way. I just put out a lot of music, Taylor, and just continued to build. I didn't mind one thing I didn't care about most people do is I didn't care to brick No what does that mean

Yeah what does that mean Yeah I didn't care to flop I didn't care if I put something out to shit the bag Right so you're saying if you put something out there And people are just shitting on it It's just how many you know what that fucking sucks But down to the next one How many episodes it is that you'll put out

That you feel like nobody gave a fuck you were doing it I'd say we're still waking To figure out if somebody actually cares truly Right I just think that's not it out I mean there were a few in the in like the first season and where you're like, you know, you don't know if anybody cares. And then after you get past the surge of like, all right, a couple football guys are doing a podcast.

That's awesome. It's like you knew you're going to have some initial viewership, but how could you retain them? Or it was probably going to drop off like a lot of stuff that's like, oh, let's see what these guys are about up? Just regular old jobs. Yeah, because like I said, the subway in New York, the internet, what's new all the time? There's things are, it's a revolving door of fame in the 15 minutes you get. Yeah. And so it was going to be, oh, a football player started a podcast.

That's cool. now it's over, or is it going to be able to become a little more longevity, which we found out that we do have a great base of fans. Nashville is a place that you never know. I mean, I would never think in my head living in Ohio or living somewhere that like Nashville is a great place to start something

and have amazing support, but it really is. Oh, yeah. People here really care about the things that people invest time into. Will and I invest in time into this, the franchise and the fan base here, and it's paid off with this and it's slowly growing. Right, and it continues to grow.

continues to grow. And there's a mother way you do it and feel like it's deaf ears, but you just keep pushing because you know what to grow, or you latch on to the few people to fuck with it. And that's what I did. I could not care that it was flopping. Now, is that something you were born with, or is that something you had to obtain? Because a lot of people, when they see things on the Internet, it's tough. You can see 10 nice things about you, but then you see one that's negative.

And a lot of times that I'll put somebody in the tank. For someone listening to you right now, how do you compartmentalize those things and figure out, okay, I must stay on my path that I'm on. because I think a lot of times with the younger people, younger adults, us, we look at, we want to be successful, right? Everyone gets to see Instagram.

You get to see, you get to go on an export page and see what Sylvester Stallone's $110 million house and this guy's jet in that. And everyone sees the success, but no one sees the trials and tribulations. And it's almost comical to people when you start something new,

how bad you are at first. It's like acting or doing stand-up comedy or anything. When you start to do those things, you're probably shitty at first. Right. And it's like, oh, this fucking guy is trash. Oh, yeah. And then eventually you get a Dane Cook.

You get a Joe Rogan, a Chris DeLea, those types of guys that can get on stage and make people laugh. But it's fighting through that. How did you, how were you able to do that while you're battling addiction while you're battling weight loss, weight gain, all that stuff? You know, having a kid at a young girl, how old's your kid? My daughter's almost 13. You're always 13 years old. Having a kid. Yeah, I was young.

Yeah, at a young age. She was born when I was incarcerated. So it was even more like harder on me. And I want to make sure and bookmark that because I definitely want to. hit that as well. Yeah. Yeah. But for me, man, it was just like, I didn't, I joke about it because it's real.

I just had like blind faith. Like you ever just felt like you were supposed to do something? Yeah. No matter what was like, I just felt like I was supposed to be a voice for the voiceless. I believe that. I didn't care how much it flopped. I didn't care what people told me. The in and out, like I just always, for you was probably football.

All roads came back to football, right? Like, no matter what was happening. life you had this thing that was your fucking thing. You know what I mean? Right. Music was my thing. I just couldn't accept no for an answer. I was just like as long as I can keep putting out music, it's got to connect.

I just really believed it. I never had a lot of moments I wanted to quit just out of sheer depression. Or just like, fuck, it just maybe it's not. But I just, dude, I just, I couldn't imagine not having this thing in my life. And when you see people shitting on that thing that you have, because for me, it's, it's, when I see things on Twitter, let's say. And I've grown out of this quite a bit. But if I see someone say, hey, Taylor, you're a piece of shit person.

You're a bad father and you're a bad husband. To me, rolls off the back. No, I'm not. And you don't know me well enough to know whether that's true or not. But you see me every Sunday playing football. So you can say I'm a dog shit football player. Like, oh, is that grounds a stand on? These people hear your music.

And so they say your music's dog shit. How do you get past that? Confidence. So here's my thought, right? If you don't like my music, you are either just a fucking, that's just hating is in your genetics, right? Two, it's maybe not your cup of tea, but you got to acknowledge the talent. Like, I'm cool what you're saying, hey, man, I get it, but I don't get it. It's not my thing.

Sure. You know, like, you know, I don't expect a fucking Kenny G fan to just be like, you're fucking great. Yeah. I expect them to be like, I don't get it. You know, but it's like you acknowledge the talents there. Three, if you don't like my music, some fat dude fucked your wife, period. Somewhere down the line, some fat chubby motherfucker came in and swoop your bitch up

and you were just a hating motherfucker. Yeah. Because of that you just grudge every dude that's, just by that, you know, it's like, I just know that about, because like,

I know now, there was a stage where the shit was horrible. Like, man, I'm really, I believe what I do is good music. I believe it's not for everybody. I tell people,

I might not be your cup of tea. I'm a strong shot of tequila. That's okay. Maybe you're not a shot of tequila guy. You should go get you a macchiata. I get that. But don't hate on me because I'm not a Macchiato, motherfucker.

You know what you're getting. Two, I've been a piece of shit my whole life. I don't care. I grew up. You know what my nickname is Jelly Roll? I was fat as a kid. My mama called me Jelly Row. She calls me Jelly to this day.

I walk into my mama's trailer. Hey, Jelly. You feel me? And I say trailer because I bought her a house and she moved out of it because she wanted it. I got her what she wanted. That you can take the pig out the mud, but not the mud out of the pig. Sure.

You feel me? Absolutely. I walk in my mama's trailer. Is that my jelly? She's just excited. I've always been a fucking fat kid. Yeah. So it's like, I don't, that shit don't bother me.

You know, it's like I dealt with all that before. It's like everything that was going to hurt me in life has already happened. You can't hurt me. It's already happened. I went through it all. I've been to prison. I've had an overdose. I almost died.

I've been shot. I've been stabbed. You think you calling me a name on the internet hurts me. Man, fuck you and your mama. Yeah. How about that? How about if you see me at a gas station to say that to me, I slap the shit out of you. You know what I'm saying?

As certain as I stand here, dog. I will slap the motherfucker out of one of them guys and I know that in my I know who I am they don't know who they are yeah that's why his picture is like a fucking Pokemon

on fucking it on fucking TikTok and he's talking shit about me you know what I'm saying like I will slap the fuck out of you dog in front of your mama and then kiss her in the mouth

that's what I'll do you're big like mama joke assault and sexual assault all in one you're big of going after the mama yeah that's an old jail trick don't act like you want to fight

how about fuck your mom you really want to fight if that don't make you want to fight, you don't want to fight. Yeah. That was always my joke. It's like, oh, you know what? How about your mama sucks dick?

Yeah. And it's mine. And it's nasty dick. And I've got herpes. Oh. You want to fight now? Okay. You don't want to fight.

You don't want to fight. You were just talking. You know what I'm saying? Because if I say something about your mom and you don't hit me in the mouth, you didn't want to fight. First, for sure. Okay. That's real.

Somebody says something about your mom. You're going to find. No. See, that's what I was. I wasn't going to disagree with here. I was going to let that one ride and let it flow. No, no, I don't lie out of me. You let's a very disrespect your mom.

I haven't really talked. I like, I haven't really talked to my mom like that. You know what I'm saying? No, it doesn't have to be deeper now. We don't have the relationship that you wish you had, but no, someone says your mom sucks. I'm like, well, you probably don't know her. She sucks dick. Yeah, she has.

Yeah. You know, I know for a fact she has. Now, do you think. I found a picture one time when I was in her, uh, yeah, it was tough. That's a tough. Do you want to hear that story? Yes. You can't start that story.

I know, I know, but I do, I want to hear more about you and I know there's only a finite amount of time. Let's talk about your mom. So when I was 13 years old, my grandmother gave me a gun. It was a 38 special, black with a brown handle. My mom goes, well, you're 13. You can't have a gun like this. I relate to that kind of white trashery. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. We'll get along real well, though. We came up quite a bit, both of us. So I go back, go back to my mom's house and I check this out. She's like, give me that. You can't have that. What are you fucking doing? So she puts it up.

and god damn i can see the dick now so one day she goes out it it's that that was a brother moment if I didn't

I can see the thing now he did it he did it real slow he went I know it shocked me I felt I felt the universe fucking ground me back

so my uh My mom, we grew up, I grew up in a ranch and my mom's working the ranch or whatever. It's like a place for horses. It's not really a ranch. And I'm like, fuck, I'm going to go find that gun. It's my gun. It was a gift.

It was a gift. I'm going to be taking it with me. So I go, I'm going through everything, right? I'm going through drawers looking, feeling everything. I get to her nightstand. I open that up. I grab it. It's like glass with a bunch of things on.

It's like shape like this. I'm like a dildo, but I was 13. I didn't know that it was a dildo. Right. Put the thing in my hand. put it back in the bag put it back didn't even clean it

to feel terrible to this day actually and then I go through these drawers and you kind of start feeling around you can even feel like a playing card or whatever

kind of brushing up against the dresser yeah and you can't what is that and you kind of grab it and it's it was a Polaroid

and I trip up my wood is and it just immediately infused into my brain it was it was outside okay it was a

my mom was wearing a a floral type of top like this this cemented in your mind this penis it went up and a little bit to the right oh he had a curve

it was big and it was handsome you know what I'm saying it wasn't like a grimy one where you go well come on it's kind of gross it was like that's a good looking dick you know and she this is this this is the penis this was her this is her like that The tongue was touching the tip of the penis, dude.

It fucking, it was, I went quiet. I went mute for the first time in my life. A week goes by. My mom's like, hey, why aren't you talking very much? I'm fine. Walking to the other room. And then one day, she's like, too, that's enough. Like, what's going on?

And I'm like, I don't want to talk about it seriously. Just leave me alone. And she's like, quarrying me. Like, now we're doing the drug. I'm trying to get around her. And she won't let me get around her. And she's like, tell me what the problem is. And I said, do you want to know what the problem is?

And we power walk to her room. I take out the picture when I showed you, I said, this is the problem. And she fucking lost it. And the worst part about the whole story was, she was wearing the same fucking shirt then because she wasn't the goddamn picture. And that is the problem.

And that's a... And literally, I was telling... I told this story to some of my teammates a few years ago. And then my mom came to a charity event. It was when Houston had the floods. And so my wife put a charity event on. And my mom came to the charity event.

And I go, Mom, you're not going to believe the story I'm telling the boys right now. And she goes, not the dick. story again, Taylor. But she knows. She knows the fucking thing that I talk about. And so I'm sweating. Is this your first time saying it on the podcast?

It was the first time I've ever heard that story. No, it was tough. I'm sweating profusely. Sorry, we can take this moment and go to an egg.

Back to the episode with our boy Jelly Roll. You're not just your boy, jelly roll, your boy with this fucking Lion King Main right here, because I use that man-the-fuck up. Look at that fucking beard, baby. Can see it now. I can see it now. So that was that. But let's get back to what we were talking about with you.

Oh, the fight your mom thing. Yeah. In jail. Well, those more, I'm all right. I'm good, thank you. It was, we were talking about the whole fear or thinking about having confidence about everybody kind of shitting on your stuff. Yeah. And learning how to do that and coming out.

Yeah, and it sounds like you don't, it doesn't matter anymore. And it's a huge win because every label that told you to go fuck yourself is now sitting on your desk. Listen, man, it's all. It worked out. Now, how does that process work? Talk to me like I'm five and tell me how, how did you get a label, you cut a record. Yeah, why would it be fuck all of you when you have every label now? Now you get the kind of pick.

So here's how this works, right? Labels come in and finance the records. And have y'all ever talked about this with a musician? I mean, Ernest's closure. I don't watch the music. I watched Ernest. Ernest has dabbled with it a little bit, but I mean. This is the most organized we've been.

Yeah, the way the way you said finance. We're, dabble in and out and get out. We're keeping this thing besides my mom's dick picture. Yeah. This is a straight line. The word finance hit me. Yeah. So continue.

Right. So it's like, the label finances the record. Yeah, the label finances the record, right? And because of that, they own the record. Mm-hmm. And 100%. Well, not 100%. There's a deal involved with it.

So, like, let's say that it'd be like you say, let's say we're going to do a busing with the boys out. I'm like, oh, let me sign y'all. We'll do it under my shit, right? And I'm like, okay, check this out. Here's a deal, y'all. I'll finance the record. And I'll give you an advance if you need it.

Like, if you need a draw or I'll give you an advanced go, advanced go cut your own record. Right? So I'll be like, yo, here's a half. a million dollars, go cut your record. But we're going to do a, and we'll promote it, market it on the label side. We'll do everything for you. All you got to do is turning the record. We'll pay for the videos.

We'll pay for everything. But on the side of it, we're going to do a, and this is a generous deal now, we're going to do an 80, 20, 70, 30. Me gets 70, y'all get 30, okay, for me financing the record. And we're going to do, but we're going to recoup the million dollars or half a million dollars at the rate of the deal. let's say a million because it's easy man and at the rate of the deal this is where they fuck you young artists please listen i am giving away game i could charge for this this is where they fuck you they charge at the rate of the deal so that means that every dollar that's made i'm going to take my 70 cents out of it and then i'm going to apply your 30 cents towards the

million dollars you owe me right and see what i'm saying once that's paid off you start getting then once that's paid off you start getting your 30 cents now think about that for a second as far as just us as grown men, like a bank loan or like a homie loan, right? Like just your homie gives you $100,000 and go, man, I don't know. Fuck, give me a 120 back if you can do it in three months. Yeah. We're talking about somebody making $700,000 and their million dollars before you participate in any of the money.

So if the whole project costs it a million, like you, they take out their $700,000, then your $300,000 starts to pay. for the rest of the expenses. And then whenever it gets you get, basically whenever you get the $0 million. Yeah, right. Whenever your 30% pays the million off, then we go into a $70.30.

But where the labels fuck you is, it's an unlimited line of credit when you're doing well. So young artists don't realize what's happening, right? So they're just like, hey, man, I want to shoot a video and have a helicopter and jump out of it like James Bond and blow a car up the label. It's like, no problem. It only costs a quarter million dollars.

Here's $250,000 more. Then these art. Artists started getting a situation where they're never getting royalties on their records. Now, the label owns the masters of the record. Now, the Masters is the right to sink something, to put it on a TV show. The Masters is the right to where it lives and doesn't live, to break it down in a beat format, to whatever they want to do with the master recording, right? Artist doesn't own the master.

He's only participating in the royalties of the album. When I say 7030, that's a strong deal. It's a lot of artists on Music Row right now with 95-5s. 95, so you don't make nothing. So how do you make money then? And then, um, touring and merch.

So how does touring work? So how does touring work? And then they got this new thing called a 360 deal, which is called ancillary participation. Which means now, not only do I want 95% of what your streaming does. I want 15% of what your touring does. Gross. I want 15% of what your merch does. Gross.

I want 15% of your appearance fee. Gross. I want 15% of. of everything you do gross. So, okay. And the name, they'll on your name, Taylor. That's deeper. Imagine now, not only do I own this.

So you don't own jelly roll. I own, oh, I own jelly roll. No. If you were to sound, I went on jelly roll. Yeah. So if I wanted to go open a jelly roll bar, I would have to ask their permission to put my name on the bar. And pay them their role.

And pay them 50% gross. Or more. Yeah. Depending on what the deal was with the name, because the name could be a different thing. So not, like, the Jason Aldeen bar down there, the Florida Georgian line bar down there. I don't know there.

I don't know. deals, but based on one of the things you might be saying is that could be owned by the record label, actually. What's really happening is they took a licensing deal, so they have nothing to do with these bars. Dirks is the only one I know who's pretty hands-on. And the licensing deal could be 15% of the world, the net, the net world, the net of the year. Now, when you say Dirks is pretty hands-on, he's the only one that you know that's hands-on, what does that mean that he's more hands-on?

He's in his bar. He actually has equity stock. Okay, got you. where the other guys like Jason Al Dean's bar could be Ernest Bar in five years. When his licensing fees up, Ernest will probably be the biggest artist in Nashville. I hope.

That's our boy. Let's hope. Let's hope. So let's say Ernest. He's one of the boys. So let's say Ernest is the biggest artist in town. And they go, okay, it's no longer Jason Al Dean Bar.

It's Ernest Bar. You know, I'd love to see a day where music grows is Ernest and Hardys. You know what I'm saying? Does that make sense? Yeah. Where the Broadway is the new guys, right? You know,

so it's like, and then they come to them and say, hey, man, we'll give you, you know, for your name's sake, we'll give 15% of the net of what this thing does. Depending on the label deal, the jelly roll bar now at 15% of the net of that, let's say that bar makes my net is $3 million, 4 million a year. The label comes in and if they own my name, like I know one artist in town, I cannot say his name. We'll talk about it when the camera's off. Sure. That literally gave up his whole name. That label could just come right in and take them $3 million. just like that.

Like that. That's tough for that. Holy shit. He doesn't own his own name. That's hard to hear. And it's his government name. It's not like jelly rolls of moniker, right? Yeah.

You know, like, I mean, imagine like Taylor LeWan, Will Compton. Like, I own the name Will and William Copton. Yeah. That's the name I own. Anytime you put Will Compton on something and try to sell it, I'm allowed to step in and flex and go, hold on now. You know, I own the name Will Compton. We should put something out about it.

I need 30 cents down a dollar. My mama calls me Will. This is the name my mother gave me. My father, I was named Will like, fuck back. And he gave that individual, he or she gave away that opportunity now. Do you feel like, how are these things not

Sorry, I want to get this off because I want to make sure I ask it? How are how are artists not getting together and saying, well, this is obviously unfair? And how is there an artist union? Is there a way that you guys can start unionizing and negotiating not just one genre like rap, but all genres to

say this is how we're going to work labels from now on it's a 50-50 or a 51-49 label and it's going to be x-y-and-z and kind of put more in a fine print kind of like our cb a is right so what they're going to end up doing is labels will turn into distributors in the future it's already happening right like labels certain distributors like Spotify like Apple music yeah what they do is they like big loud yeah exactly exactly and they're service turns into what well they're doing more distribution than they used to so like where universally used to be record deal or no deal. The deals I have on my table from these labels are distribution deals.

And this is probably my manager comes like, I fucking hate you. You got to work on this podcast and just start telling all the business. But it's like, he's a fan of the body, by the way. Yeah, yeah, he's a huge fan. Shout to the boy. Yeah, yeah. What's up, Caleb? But they'll be like, yo, check this out.

They'll be like, hey man, we'll distribute your record to all the DSPs, digital service providers, Spotify, album music, etc. We'll work the record. Yeah. We'll use our relationship and our in-house offices stuff for, I can't legally say the percentage, but let's pretend it's like 90, 10. Yeah. We're pretending, though, right?

Right. You see what I'm saying? So let's just say, like, it's just something that cool, that unheard of, 90, my way, 10, their way. Yeah. That's what the deals I'm getting now. Hypothetically, if a percentage like that were to exist, per the non-disclosure, I'm not allowed to say. But it's something of that nature, you know what I mean?

Where I was willing to take an 85, 15, them getting 85, 6 years ago. ago when I was dead broken just needed help. Right. And that's where they catch these artists and fuck them. Yeah. On there on there. They see the towel and go, this kid's going to work. Let's invest in them now.

Let's sign the deal now. Let's put them in the huckle buck. You know what I'm saying? Let's tie them up for four or five, six, seven albums, something crazy and I'm fucking 70-30. So the distribution, if it's changing to distribution, how are the labels going to go now monetize that and make sure that they get their same things? Well, they'll obviously have to start making less money.

money, right? And the artist will be in charge. It's going to happen. We're the beginning of it. I'm not saying this in an arrogant way. I say this in like in the bottom of my heart way. I think the deal that I'm going to end up signing that we'll talk about as soon as y'all, as soon as I see that not running.

Yeah. Will be something that I believe will go down in history of Nashville. Like it'll be a turning point for artists where artists will start going into labels and saying, And hey, man, I want the jelly roll deal. Right. If you can do it for the jelly roll, you can do it for me. I really believe that. It's the same thing they do in the NFL.

Right. Now, for a player is to start getting more and more money, they need the next guy up to have the biggest contract in NFL history. Right. You get those guys doing it. And then that's how money gets bigger and bigger. Yeah, there's always a bigger contract. Yeah, there's always a bigger contract.

When I signed my deal four years ago, I was number one. Now I'm not even close to top five. I might not even top 10 anymore. I have no idea. But that's how you keep the money rolling That's how you as a group collectively Keep ball rolling in your direction that you want For people to walk in and say I want the jelly roll deal

Yeah Comparatively it seems like There was a moment where people came in and said And every short lived like yours But there was a moment where people came in and say Hey man especially lineman They were like yo man we want that fucking Taylor Luan deal Right

Like y'all see what tape you like motherfuckers gossip Like yo you see what just happened with Taylor And the issue like yo that shit's out there You know what I'm saying? The thing with NFL money is when people say five year, blah, blah, blah, blah. If someone signed a five year, $120 million deal, everyone sees $120 million.

The most important thing is not your APY, which is average per year. Most important thing is guaranteed at signing, and then your first three years money. Right. So that is the most important, the most important thing. Like, you don't have to be the highest paid dude,

but if your structure is good, that's how you're bulletproof to make your money. A lot of dudes just want to have the highest paid contract. So they want that something 70. So they say they have the highest deal, get the cool poster, you know, maybe have a milk,

commercial or added a magazine and then two years from now you're getting cut but they're back the years are the highest yeah and so those the years you're either renegotiating have a smaller contract or you're cut right so it's a it's a it's a it's a finicky world the talent versus and even in the even no it is yeah it's arts versus commerce man and i am dead set against uh artists being exploited it's something that bothers me in my soul man like i hate to see an artist when somebody like, you know, it's got to be like that with y'all, right? Like when a motherfucker who's never thrown a football in his goddamn life tries to come in and tell you what you're worth. And you're like, hold on, don't.

You've never fucking once in your life came out here on a Sunday. Right. You've never once had the fucking Alabama shakes I get out here. You've never once dealt with the intensity I deal with out here. And you're telling me what the fuck. I'm working. You want to put your value. Because you went to motherfucking Harvard and know something about money.

You can suck my dick soft, dog. This is fucking what I do. Put a count on that. it's like when people tell me like come in and you tell me hey man this is this is how this should work man have you ever played a guitar yeah have you wrote a thousand songs and nine hundred of them motherfuckers been horrible yeah don't talk to me i got a hard drive i got a graveyard of songs i'd never play for y'all right now we're homies i feel like already fuck we've talked about mother sucking dick and everything yeah we've got it we've got deep man i'm honest with you

when you're burning up right away though i feel like that's something you lead with so i don't if it makes it super close or not. I feel like it couldn't get no, I wouldn't tell you a story of my mama sucking dick or if I wouldn't go with you. Yeah, I'm an open book. But yeah, absolutely. We're back.

We're back. Full fucking circles. 40 minutes in this thing. It's like, dude, I just, you know, it's like, I wouldn't, I just, I just couldn't imagine a world where the artist don't have control. It's time for the artists to take control in our business. Yeah. I don't want to see an artist get exploited.

You need some of those pioneers too that are like, that kind of disclose some of the, that as well because a lot of times guys just don't know what everybody else is doing like going in the NFL you kind of know what structures you're going to get into there's minimums there's this and that there's not that kid got slotted there's not that kid kind of playing in the field and scouts just go by and see him be like oh let's take advantage of him and get 90% of it's pretty much like IP intellectual property right similar with like podcasting there's like people brands who own an IP and then also talent who owns their IP to where it seems like in the distribution world it's

more of like that split revenue deal like hey you still own jelly roll and your intellectual property of it all, but now you will work with a label that will kind of give you an audience or give you more of an audience and throw money in the right buckets? Right, exactly. Is that kind of what it is? Yeah, their thing is they are willing to offer what you can't get. Because there are some things that are hidden behind relationships

that an artist can't have, right, that are just years of like, like, like Spotify. So go. I don't normally watch what I say, but I got to, I'm walking like, Use your example. Spotify is close to being the new radio. And there's going to come a moment where your relationship with the radio will determine where your artist gets placed on the radio. Sure.

Right. So I am fearful that the artists are going to struggle with that. Like these big playlist, you know, because it starts to like, radio is becoming null and void. Right. Country radio exists because it's still a button pushing industry. But it's becoming less and less, right? Like we're finding artists on our phones now. You're finding artists through friends, through Instagram.

TikTok, Instagram, all that stuff. What do you mean by a button pushing industry? What is that when you say country music is a button pushing industry? I understand that. This is crazy, Taylor. They can go literally find a guy right now on Broadway. Yeah. Pick them up, bring him into office.

And say you're the dude now. You're the dude, man. Get this haircut. We're going to put this on. We're going to put you the best song writers. We're going to get you the best song. We're going to go to country radio and spend millions of dollars. And you're going to have the number.

one song in the country on country radio on the next 12 months. So they get the picking shoes, but couldn't any industry do that? Well, it's turning less into rap. See, rap was different. Right? Because rap was found in the streets initially.

You would find good rap songs in the club, and then it would translate to radio. So like when a song got big on rap radio, we'd already heard it in the club six months ago. Radio was late. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. Where country music is like, a traditional country audience,

here's this new song for the first time on the radio, not somewhere else. Now, rap is now went to streaming and artist direct, so you find the artist, you find the song, and then you grow with the song. So now have the song like the baby's like the biggest rapper in the world, but you remember when he dropped his first song

and you were riding with them through that, where country music's not so much that way. These guys come out of nowhere. Come out of nowhere. For lack of a better term, it's more corporate in the country world. Way more corporate. Way more button done.

So it's like if I had a shitload of money and I was in the country world or a big label, whatever it is. Excuse me. And I wanted to be like, all right, this is the write-ups of songs. Like you say you're a writer. So if I want to, what do you call it? Catalog. You're right. So if it's like, I'm going to go buy Jelly Rose catalog and then I'm going to find somebody that we can kind of control their intellectual property.

That would be the way to do it. It's like, buy that. Okay, had to spend X million dollars to buy that. Yeah. Costs a lot of money. But let's go find this person that doesn't know who they are yet. put it behind that song and then we kind of control that. We're kind of betting on making money off buying your...

Absolutely. Or a publisher. So you'll have a publisher who will sound a writer. Like, I love you, Ernest. I'm sorry, I have to reference you because you're our boy, and it's the easiest one to reference. Because we all know Ernest. Ernest is arguably, I would argue with somebody right now

that he's the best songwriter in Nashville. He's on them lists that are like top three. I'm just saying, right? I would argue with anybody that Ernest is the best songwriter in Nashville right now. and say Ernest writes a bunch of songs, right? He turns him into his publisher because that's part of their deal and Ernest gets a piece of whatever the publisher plugs, right? Okay.

A pretty good piece from my understanding. From what I hear, only I would assumptually know, because I'm sure he's not allowed to say, but I heard he got a good deal. Yeah. Speculation. So it's like where y'all, that's where our business is different than your business.

They hide us behind NDAs. Mm-hmm. Where you sign a big deal, man, that's just on ESPN. That's everywhere. You know what I said? You can look up, you look up a little. Oh, yeah, right away. where we sign a deal and it comes with a sheet of paper that says you can never speak of this deal.

But let's say he got a good deal. Okay, that makes a lot more sense because then people won't be able to go say, I want the jelly roll deal. You can't go look at the structure of contract. Anytime we have an artist on too, we're always kind of curious of some of these deeds, some of the getting in the weeds of it. Yeah. And it's just like you can never really get too far into it.

I say this with respect, man. A lot of them couldn't get in the weeds, which bubble. That's what I'm saying. They don't know enough about their business. They sign a deal. They have behind the house. Oh, sure. Yeah.

They don't know what the fuck's going on. Yeah. Sometimes it's not about being smarts, but having the right people around you that can teach you those things. Yeah, for sure. You know, dude, it's a, did you ever watch this old trailer park show called Myrtle Manor? No, I know. I know. How sure you've seen this? It was great. So I met with the dude who owned the IP for Myrtle Manor, right? Are you pulling this up? I thought he was going to say Trailport. We had a whole time. Yeah, welcome to Myrtle Manor. So this old man owns this TV show. Oh, look, it's got all kind of gossip and shit. People went to jail since then. This is good. So this was the show, right? And I did their theme song for like, C. season two. Just like click on any of that shit. So anyways,

they would have this moment where I did the show and I met with the owner of this show and he went behind the television station. I love the tell his story. And I've never told it publicly though. And he like trademarked the IP for the show

behind the TV people's back because he owned a trailer park called Myrtle Manor. You see what I'm saying? And then when the TV show came to him about it, he owned all the intellectual property for the Myrtle Manor shit. So I only even get in a few seasons because of that

because he like completely took over. So did they put a spin show on there that wasn't the same that wasn't called Myrtle Manor but was the same premise? No, they did the show called Welcome to Myrtle Manor. But what he did was he bought, he owned the trailer park. The trailer park was called Myrtle Manor, right? Yeah. So when he knew the TV people was coming while they were still negotiating the deal,

he goes in trade parks, Mertle Manor. Trademarks the logo because it's his trailer park. He's like, I'm not going to let y'all do the artist thing, right? And come in and fuck me. So this guy who owns a trailer park is, an absolute genius. It's a fucking genius. Did for him.

But I referenced him to tell you the story. He changed my life one night. We got drunk together. And he said, I never made it out of high school. And this dude owned half of fucking Murrow Beach. I said, well, that's crazy. He said, let me tell you a story, man. I hired a young kid that came out of Yale to run my business for him.

He said, one day, some other guys were in the office talking about where they went to college. The young kid looked at me and said, where'd you go to college? He said, I told him, I didn't go to college. the kid said, you didn't go to college? He said, no, he said, at all. He said, I didn't go to high school. The guy said, how do you run this business? He said, because I was smart enough to hire a motherfucker that went to Yale.

Yeah. You know, and that stuck with me. 100%. That day, I'll never forget that conversation with that dude. This old man was sitting there shooting fucking pappy, fucking getting wasted with me in the middle of this trailer park. Fucking multi-millionaire just gaming me. And I was soaking it up like a fat sponge.

I was like give it to me, Papa. I want it all. Because I was like super early in my career and trying to figure out what I was going to do. Yeah. And I just stood by everything he told me the importance of owning your IP, the importance of owning your name, the importance of ownership. Don't sell it out, because I was like, I was thinking about taking a bad production deal back then.

You just trying to get your name out there. I just, anything to get my name out there, dude. I was willing to, you know, like, like I was just so desperate to not be, I was so desperate not to sell drugs anymore. Yeah. I was like, whatever it takes not to risk. Tax-free business, though. I didn't want, I, dude, I wanted to be in my daughter's life.

Sure. It was a super sure of tax. Me and Don was talking about this on the way in my camera guy. I said, so I got arrested. I don't know if I could say this or not. I couldn't if you can't. But right down the street from here, when that neighborhood used to be before they, you know, made it nice.

Gentrification. Yes. Yeah, that's the word. Yeah. Before they gentrified the neighborhood over here. Yes. Oh, I almost said it. But yeah.

I fucking got caught with a half ounce of crack over here was the last time I went to prison. and I sat in prison for almost two years. That was the year my daughter was born. The baby and mother was like seven, eight months pregnant then. Really? Yeah, so whenever I came home, I was like, man, I just want to do whatever it takes not to go back to jail. I had a reason not to go to jail for the first time of my life.

Yeah. And that was a turning point. How many times before then were you in prison? I don't know. I probably did seven out of a 10-year stretch. That's tough. Fuck, man. That's fucking tough.

How, you hear, like, I went to a holding cell one time for breaking probation. hardcore, I know. But, and they were... I think he was pretty gay, so you were on probation. Yeah. Can we hear that story? Twice, actually. Yeah, I slapped the kid and stole his iPad, iPod.

But he wasn't talking about your mama. No, he did it. Actually, the way I broke probation to some kids that said some of my mom, that's what I did. But that was before the dick pick. When those seven to ten years, when you're in prison, you hear all, like, obviously, you watch documentaries and you see this guy goes to jail and he's just, you know, unsuspecting. white dude, whatever, and then he's like, you got to be with a crew.

You got to be with the white supremacist cats. You can't be with the black guys. Can't be like all this different stuff. Is this shit really run like that in there? In some prisons? Yeah, for sure. Tell us a good prison story. Oh, no, dude.

Let me tell you a story. Anybody who says they have a good prison story did not learn from prison. Sure. I used to tell people all the time. This isn't like judging balls. Oh, this one was way better than this one. They all fucking sucked. Never been the one I thought was cool.

You know what I'm saying? I mean, I could tell some funny stories, but I choose not to because in hindsight, none of that shit was funny. But it was, it was, yeah, it diversifies sometimes. I was in a state prison. I didn't go federal. So it's a little easier for me because I'm from Nashville. I was born and raised here, hence why I'm a busing with the boys fan, a fucking tight advocate. Let's go, boy.

That's fucking, baby. Respect that. Yeah, for sure. Like, side note, thank you for what you've done for the city. We've really appreciated having you, man. It's awesome. Well, that means a lot, man. I appreciate that.

My prayer is a Titan fan, frankly, for both of you. Not to put Will on the no comment spot again, but is that when y'all are both done, y'all hang up the jersey here. That'd mean a lot to the city. You know what I'm saying? But it's like- Hang up the jersey wear. In the bus?

Yeah, fuck, yeah. Wherever you want to hang that something up at. We finish our careers in Nashville. I think, I don't know if I can do that, but I'll ask them. The ring of honor? Yeah, yeah. Hey, George, Stephen Mayer. I'm just here.

You know, somebody wants my name up there. It's a Titan jersey. Yeah, yeah, I feel you. So I was a local kid, so it was like, I didn't deal with it as much. You know, it was more like really culturally melted, you know, so I didn't have a problem in there. It was pretty cool. So I didn't have to deal with that shit. But in federal prison, one of my best friends went to federal prison struggle.

And, you know, it was real bad there. They played the race card and the state card tough there. But in state prison, yeah, I mean, you definitely got some of that going. But when you're, you know, dude, I could ride the fence, man. I could sing rock and roll music, play a little guitar and I could rap like a motherfucker. Yeah. And I also had weed. So everybody pretty much liked me in there.

Good deal. Well, I'm glad it worked out for you in prison. I'm glad you're out now. Yeah, yeah. It's way cooler working out out here. No question. But I came home and just wanted to figure it out for the kid, dude. Yeah.

You know, I was just determined to figure it out for my daughter. This episode of Bustle with the Boys is also brought to you by one championship.

Go back to bustle with the boys. What was that moment like with the first time you saw your daughter? I mean, she was turning to. Yeah, she's turning to her. I met her. Uh-huh. It's when I really actually met her. Yeah. Um, you know, it was emotional, but it was like a happy emotion, you know.

I was so glad to be in her life at that point. And me and her mother had kind of fought through custody at that point, or me even being able to see her because, you know, I mean, I didn't have the best, you know, I'm a reform. I wasn't a good human pre my daughter in general. So I could understand her resentment towards me. Yeah. And, you know, it was funny.

I met her on her second birthday and somewhere around her seventh birthday. I got full custody of her. That's awesome. So me and my wife have full custody over now. She's at the house waiting for me to get home. No doubt. She'll be pissed off when I show up without the sign Luan jersey. Well, we'll make sure that works out.

Yeah, for sure. I'm a pressure about that. Yeah. She's literally was like, yo, don't forget that. Yeah. I was like, no, I got you. We'll make it work for sure. I'll come around.

Like, make sure you grab a bottle. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This might be long. I want to make sure I'm tipsy. When you were talking about how bad you were before your daughter, was it pretty much just your daughter that changed your own mindset when you went into prison? Yeah, man.

Or what, like, what kind of reflections were you like having with yourself? I was obviously if you were a bad dude for a long time, it's like, you know, what's that conversation? like for you in prison? It's just knowing that you have to do something different. You know, even in prison, I wasn't sure I wanted to change in jail, at least, until they knocked on the door the year she was born on her birthday, and the guard told me it was her birthday that she was born, you know, your daughter was born.

He had no other information at all. He didn't know her name. When I think about it, I don't even know if he said it was a boy or girl. I think he was just like, yo, your kids here. You got a kid born this morning. I was like, well, tell me more. and I'll never forget the guard looked at me through the little crack in the window.

You know, you've got the little slit. Yeah. I don't fucking know, man. Just walked. One wasn't really his problem. Yeah. He wasn't his problem. He's just there getting, you know, fucking $12 an hour.

Sure. But, you know, think about that for a minute like, man. Oh, shit. I mean, it's news of my whole life right here and I have zero information. This is when she was born. This is when it was a year. She was actually born. She was actually born.

Her actual, like, you know, because somebody calls the jail, like, somebody dies in your family or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They bring only really bad. news and some good news like a kid being born. Normally it's only bad news. Yeah, it's about where it stops. You know,

your grandma dies, they'll come tell you. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's going to be hard when you're dealing with depression and you're in prison and someone tells you someone died. Yeah. That's got to be a fucking hard deal. You can't call or you're in a situation where you can't get a hold to nobody or you can't get a pass to go to the funeral.

My grandmother died when I wasn't in jail. Really? Never forgetting. You guys were close? Mm-hmm. We were close, but me and my father and her were close. It just hurt me for my dad. You close to your father?

Yeah, he passed away two years ago. I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I tell you how much of a legend he was, though. The tin roof on Demumbrian has got a plaque for him where he sat at the bar. Really? That's gangster. That is gangster.

Right? You know what I'm saying? Because where he sat at that bar like five days a week? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, they have a plaque right there, Buddy D. Ford. They're sitting on the bar right there at DeMuroy Street. That's a dope last name, too, DeFord. Yeah, D Ford.

I like that. Yeah, baby. I like that. I did some pretty shitty things in that bar, dude. That's a good place. Me too, man. It's a good place. Yeah, it's fun times.

I've been a few times. I tried to talk willing to go out and get drunk with me one night, y'all. And he politely stiffed me. He was like, in his defense, I was glossy-eyed drunk when I asked him to go. We were at like a comedy club and I was like, you should go out

and have a drink with me. And he was like, yeah, I'll hit you right up. And I was like, I don't think he's going to hit me up. Did you know what Dan? Did you think about it? Yeah. You think about it later. I'm going to hit you up.

I'm not going to hit you up. Oh, I'm going to get to that. Oh, I'll hit you up, bro. When I get out. But it is the fifth. I was probably looking to the left of them, thinking I was staring them right in the eyes. I mean, me and Shab. That's the guy.

That's the guy. That's the guy that got in Shab off up here. And I was like, so you know, me and Shab had started drinking that day at like breakfast. Yeah. Because you guys had to get together too. Yeah, we had to get together and did this king of sting. And the difference was Shab, you know, went on about his day. I just kept drinking.

I just went downtown and started bar hopping after I dropped them off here, like 1230 or one or whatever it was. And by the time I showed up to his show, I was. I was pretty, pretty crashed. It was a good show. It was really good. I'm not in Zanis yet. I got to go to Zanis, dude. So you know, you know, I'm there this weekend.

You also come out. Are you doing it? Yeah, I'm doing it. I'm going to be out of town this weekend, but I will, I'll hit you up. Okay, cool. Next. Yeah. I do it.

Yeah. And I'm sober this time. Jesus. What are you doing at Zanis? So Josh Wolf does Josh Wolf and friends once a month. Yeah, we got to get Josh on this thing, bro. Whenever, dude, I'll call him right now. Yeah, that's what Brandon was saying too.

Yeah, that's what you want Josh. Joe. Soles said he wants to come on when he's back in town. Dude, yes. Yo, is this thing right? Hey, I appreciate that too, by the way. No, that's my mind. He was like, hey, we the text, oh, about doing bus with boys. Like, I'm down in Miami shooting, uh, shooting this music video with Andrew Sholes.

I was like, oh, you're in with Sholes. And he's like, yeah, I'll see if he wants to come on the bus. I was like, hey, thanks, man. I, cool. Appreciate that. Yeah. That's awesome. You know who wanted to come on the bus with me today?

We got drunk on a golf course last week. I don't know if I should say that about him. I got drunk. It's a solid saying. No one suspects I don't remember if he drank or not I was fucking trashed Michael Ruse

Oh yeah Ruse wants to come on Yeah he was coming He was your last year He was yeah He was very mean to me My rookie year But I've forgiven him

Really Well I came in they essentially drafted me To take a spot Yeah because he knew he was leaving The next year Well I'm the way I've heard it And I love for him to come on the bus And actually talk about my rookie year

Because I know there's a lot of people Who I was my rookie year In second year It's totally different person now obviously they will sort of a bunch of stories. But Michael, like I heard from another player that he was literally talking the day of the draft. He's like, basically tonight I'm going to find out if I get an extension after this or I'm retiring next year. Oh, shit.

That would be a nice little story to hear. Yeah. And so then they obviously, they drafted me, which is, I remember coming on a visit to Nashville and thinking, why the fuck am I here? Like, there's no way they're going to draft me. They just got Michael or in a free agency. That turned out well. And then Michael Ruse, who's been like, been there for, this going into his 10th year. Eastern Washington cat, like had an amazing career with the Titans.

So, but Michael's a good dude. He and I have talked a lot about it since then. I always tell a story about when I first got drafted. I DMed him on Twitter and was like, hey man, I'd love to like get with you, learn the playbook. You know, I can sit down. That thing still has been on red for a while. Like I have not been able. He has not said anything back to this day.

But he's a good dude, ma'am. And we've like, obviously, I can't imagine the day they'd have somebody to replace me and how I'm going to feel or handle that situation, you know. So. I forgot what me and Will were going back and forth about that day, but he hit me and I was like, yo. And I told Michael Ruse, I was like, yo, ironically, I'm out here with like fucking Michael Ruse. Yeah. I was like, yeah, but I'm going to go out there with a will and Taylor. He was like, bring me.

I'm going to come with you. Oh, dude. That would be an awesome surprise. I was literally going to bring him. But he's like, yeah, man. Yeah, man. I'll hit you up right after this. Hey, just stay out there.

We'll be done 20 minutes. man. We'll get John next. No, Rudy. He was serious, though, man. He's a good guy, man. He's a hell of a golfer, dude. Is he really? Yeah, yeah, for sure. Speaking of which, I have formally challenged Will Compton to a golf competition. I don't know if you've heard this yet.

I have not. This is big news, by the way. Breaking news, y'all. Me and Will Compton are going to have a head on. We're going to pick a country club of his choice. Oh, wow. And I'm going to go out there. Missouri, Missouri.

Take it to a par three out in Bontair, Missouri. And this is going to be the first time. time I get to spank a professional athlete in an athletic competition. Oh, you're a beast like that. No, I suck, but I just think I'm better than you. I don't get less. He was golfing this weekend with the boys. I know.

That's when he, that's when he hit me. I started my Taylor-Lawand troll. There you go. Like, hey, we should do this and gamble on it and vlog it. I'm down bad, dude. I'll go, I'll ride the car and sit there and watch. Yes. Just a shirt the whole time?

Oh, yeah. I didn't know. Do you golf at all? No, golf are people that have made it. I can't be golfing yet. Okay. I'm only 29. Yeah.

I got so much more life to live. What's what's making it? What's the definition of made it? I don't know. I'll let you know when I've done it. We got a lot of things to do still. Golf is a, I mean, I don't know. I had two kids, two young kids right now.

I can't find time to do it. Right. So much stuff. And I'm late to everything too. I would never make it too time. Today's a perfect example. I was a 12 minutes later. This motherfucker told me to hear it too.

Well, they remember they texted and they were like, hey, it's crazy. I sent them. I must have been right after you too. I'm like, hey, Hey, reminder, 230, jelly roll. Yeah. I guess I told him two o'clock. Because he went to he texts.

I was like, oh, man, I'm so excited. I showed up on time. I'm fucking ready, dude. You're like, man. I'm glad you're such a fan of the podcast, man. That's very cool. It's very cool. You keep to your roots.

I mean, we're obviously not both from Nashville, but being a Nashville based podcast. Oh, dude. It's been awesome. Very right to have you on. I think y'all just represent everything that is Nashville too, man. That's very cool of you to say. It's been like fucking dope, man. You've been like a franchise player, I feel like at this point.

Like, you're our guy. Well, I hope to stay here for a little bit longer, man. It's been awesome. You always, when you think about going to the NFL, you always stay with the same team. Can I ask you all a couple questions? You drilled me pretty hard. Sure. Because I just want to know some stuff.

How does that feel? Like, do you know you're getting traded or the story is true that sometimes people find out on ESPN? Oh, that's true. That's very true. People do. Guys don't find out until they see an Xenetam. Is that for like a lack of a relationship or? I think it's just the way things are handled.

Sometimes when an office ups and. stairs, there's 15 and 20 people revolving door of information. And a lot of those guys have a Schaefter number, have a Rappaport number. Yeah. And I think it's like, hey, we're trading jelly roll to the Bengals. Tough. And so the as a change

information, some guy might have to tweet real quick saying or a text to a Schaefter saying we're trading so or so. Right. So they give out the information, hey, run that through the wire today, this, that the other, some somebody might text on the side, text shifter, hey, we're trading jelly roll. Yeah, to the bangles. Yeah. And then those just more,

to put it on the ESPN or NFL network because then they need to be first. Because it came up about you today, right? My boy was like, yo, man, you got to ask Will what he's going to do. I was like, I just watched the Arthur one. He's going to say no comment. Yeah. I was like, but I want to accept that. What are you going to do?

What are you going to do with this year? Do you want to play football? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you retired? Are you going to play the Titans? Hey, I mean, I mean, here's the Navigating Waters will has to do. The Titans have not offered him. And if Will said, yeah, I want to be in Tennessee,

then there's 31 other teams that are deterred from sending him a contract as well because they know he wants to be in Tennessee. So he loses negotiating power. You just lose leverage talking about. You lose leverage. Right. So it's like, but you can't say it.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, of course I want to play for the Titans. I love playing here. Right. But I would also play for other teams as well. Right. Right.

I just hope it's like, you know, it works out. You just hope it works out. The way he brought it up was because, you know, obviously, dude, like invested interest as a Nashville kid, like, we want you to stay. Right. like the spirit of the team, like just everything that, what y'all are building here, you know,

which I don't think it'd break the band up. But that's like my fear with y'all too in general. Like especially with this particular platform, it's like never break up the band, dude, y'all get the coolest thing in the world going on. Well, we both have homes here. Yeah, we both live here and Will has been stated. He's a very great glue guy.

And I think whether Will is with the tie-ins with somebody else this year, that team's going to be lucky to have a glue guy. The guy that can go in, get in a playbook in two days, know the playbook, get guys everybody in the right place smart cat but the reason it came up too he's like man if it's my boy he but he was like yo man at least find out off the camera like if will's going to split and i was like i don't know man the way i see this shit on the s p and he probably won't know neither i don't think he's going to shoot me a text like just letting you know it's interesting you say

that bingles yeah yeah yeah i don't think you know i was like you never know that she could just be on the spn it's interesting you say that and i'm speaking for will because i can more speak i can speak more freely about the situation than he can because then it's a speculation but like you never like no one knows so when a guy doesn't re-sign with a team it's never oh that motherfucker doesn't like this team fuck him it's like well this that's how things worked out it's the business of the thing and they sometimes teams even release when there's contract negotiations like we've offered will compton to be the third highest paid linebacker in the NFL and he hasn't signed that what's that about that's a negotiation tactic by a team reaching out putting the public eye so then fans put pressure

on the player to say, hey, why don't you want to be here? You don't want to be the Titans? What's the deal? And so it's a revolving door and you gotta keep it. That's fucked up is it. 90-10 them and fucking media.

I guess our shit is fucked up. I guess it's different because ours is so, you know, fucking cards to chest. Yeah. Yeah, and yours seems a little more, not wild wild west, but it's like no one knows of the chess game that goes on. Whereas a game with the NFL,

you kind of understand certain figures that are going to happen at least. Like, again, no one's just going to come and fuck you and you don't know about it. It's like they just have that access to tweets about their. Like when I was on the Raiders and I was signing with the Raiders, I was up there not necessarily negotiating, but they had offered me a contract. I look over the contract to get on the phone my agent. I'm like, hey, they got this, explain this injury waiver to me. And he's like, so essentially if you injure anything on your right leg, your right limb, they can cut you and not have to rehab you, not have to pay you, none of that.

So I wouldn't get the split of my contract. I wouldn't get none of that. So if I sign that, then I'm basically like, okay, yeah, if I get hurt, you guys could just send me home and then I'm just sitting at home. Is there a lot of clauses in y'all's contract? I mean, it can be. It depends on the, how the contract is set up. Nothing that will necessarily, like, trick you too much because you have an agent.

Like, again, the game's a little more understood. So your agent would be like our lawyer. Yeah, he just kind of advise you. He negotiates the deal. Yeah, he'd be like, you know, this is, you know, yada, yada, yada. That's essentially what it means. And so I basically sat there like, I look at that's not worth it to me.

I don't care to. Are you allowed to say what the percentage this guy gets? Up to 3%. Okay. Up to 3%. Players can negotiate with their agent all the way up to 3%. So they do have a standard on it. Well, it's just a lot.

It's changed a lot. No, it's kind of always been like, when Will and I first heard in the NFL, it was 3%. And then in 2011, when they redid the collective bargaining agreement, first round picks became like slotted now. So it's like every person gets the same amount and these specific things every year goes up 5%. So agents

took that and were like, hey, if you sign with us, we'll give you 2% for the first contract or we'll give you 1%. And I think other agencies are doing that now. But when we signed it was 3%, and that's what it is. That's how it's going to work. Can I ask y'all another question? So check us out.

How many athletes do you think, like in my business, I can say 95% of artists are really clueless of what's going on in their business. How many athletes do you think are like that on that field? What do you, what do you mean my business? They really don't know the logistics. Like if you sat down with one of these guys, like it's obvious both of y'all know your deals.

You know your leverage. You know your bargaining power. You know where you sit. You get that. How many of these guys could sit on this bus and would literally look at me and be like, man, I don't fucking know. It's tough. It's tough to put a specific number on it because contracts in a lot of ways besides splits,

besides workout bonuses, all the, like there's little things like that. It's pretty cut and dry. Like you know what your guarantee is signing. And then every year after that guarantee is like I'm on three one year deals right now from here on out. My contract's not guaranteed this year. And each year from now on until my contract is up is not guaranteed. So the team could cut me and not owe me any money.

I know that. And I would say a lot of guys probably know how that works. What I don't think guys know is when they see a big number at the, end of their contract, they think, I'm excited to get that $20 million, I'd say. I'm excited to get that $20 million in 2025. But the issue is, is you make 10 here, 12 here, 13 here, and then 17, 18, and 20. Well, that 17, 18, and 20 aren't guaranteed. And these three small ones are, you're not going to get to that.

That's going to get renegotiated. And so it's like, it's kind of knowing, having a good agent is very important. Guys that negotiate their own contracts, I couldn't do it. and I don't know how they do it. I mean, there's the Russell O'Kung who did half his contract in Bitcoin, which is obviously now hindsight, it's a pretty genius deal.

And then who's Richard Sherman, he did his own deal too. But, you know, for me, I don't know how to look at language. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know how to go and sit there and do that. And so you really rely on those people to kind of negotiate that contract.

It's more like the financial literacy when you do have the money. A lot of guys don't have that. Like the documentary, 30 for 30 broke isn't just a made-up documentary that 70% of guys go broke within three to five years. It's like that financial education and financial literacy you have

once you start getting that money coming in because you know when you're, when you all of a sudden just make a bunch of money, guys don't necessarily know how to act and that's not, that's just everybody in general. You just don't know what to do. You can, but you know, there's snakes out there. You got to vet them.

Like, you know, you kind of just don't know. I can't speak for everybody, but I do know like that's more of the thing is like when you get offered to go to some of these financial literacy programs and getting educated on money and budgeting and this and that, guys do need to soak that in because it's not like it's fact that it's 70 to 80 percent of guys go broke within three to five years. You know what I mean?

Like when we're all standing in the locker room, hey, fellas, like I get we all don't think it's going to be us. But statistically speaking, seven out of ten of us are going to be that way. Yeah. So right before you walked on a bus, me and Will were having a conversation how artists have this thing where they'll be like amphitheater acts. not treat their money good. And then later in life, you'll go see them at like the exit in.

Like when you see these legacy acts playing for 400 people at the exit in, they're like, man, you would have been at the Bridgestone 18 years ago, 15 years ago, you know. That was because of financial literacy, right? Like they never understood how to take care of their money when they were getting it and went. Because I told them our business is like yours. It's a mountain. You're climbing up it. You're sitting on top for a very short part of time.

And you're coming down that, motherfucker. Yeah. You know, and it's what you do. with your money in the intermediate and also knowing when to hop off the horse like i plan i can't believe i'm saying this publicly i plan on selling my catalog when i think i'm right but you feel like yeah well it's like you know it's like you feel that stock is like it's building a business and selling a business what's your exit strategy when you're at the top right because if you miss it by a year you couldn't miss out on millions of dollars potentially yeah for millions of dollars and and the problem

is too, you can go too soon. I've seen some artists sell a catalog and then write the biggest number one in the country the following year and go, man, you got $17 million for that catalog. And if you were waited until this year, you could have got $47 million. And that one song.

If that one song becomes the biggest song on the planet, oh, like happy, you remember Justin Timberle? Like, I'm happy, clap a long, if you feel, or whoever song that was? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not for real. I'm sorry. I suck. But it's like that song, but that moment. Oh, it could change somebody's catalog

$20 million that year. Yeah. You know, literally. We're talking about something that could change. You know, it depends on how much of it, they owned again, right? Yeah. They just own the publishing. It could change a couple of minutes. What do you own of your catalog? You're 100%? 100%. Good for you. Masters. Let's go. Yeah. Let's fucking go. Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby.

Everything. I own everything. That's awesome. Never let nobody in anything. Even my distributors, I do, I do really short deals with. And, and when when, like, you talk to Ernest about writing, you sit in a room with a bunch of guys and guys kind of throw all you put some music on, you throw lines for each other, and you collectively make the song.

How does that look for you? Is your catalog, you and your songs are what you've made? Yeah, I've wrote on every song I've signed. Yeah. Yeah, I've never not been in the room. And that's, I take pride in that, Taylor. Yeah. I take pride in that, Bubba.

You know why? Because it's a lot of artists that I've seen get on your bus. I'm going to do picking with the boys, hopefully today. If they're ready, I'm ready. Yeah. But I've seen a lot of dudes get on this bus and sing a song. They didn't write. Right.

They weren't even in the room for it. It'd be like you memorizing your favorite. George straight song and then going and singing that motherfucker. Yeah. And to me, that's so disingenuine, right? Like, there's no spirit behind it. Especially if it's a song, like Save Me, or where you're talking about battles, depression and who you are, the peaks and valleys.

Like, like, people, like, I would be of my favorite, if I found out Tupac didn't write Dear Mama. Mm-hmm. Like, how much that would hurt me? Yeah. Like, I believe that song. Like, I feel it. I want to go sing it to my mama.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, I feel that. that and to find out he didn't write it, like, I couldn't even believe in the conviction he tried to sing it with. You know, it would hurt my spirit. Yeah. You know, like, so many of these artists don't even write the songs they're singing.

But I'll also tell you this, that's the difference between an artist who gets a real fan base and an artist who gets a flash and a pan fan base. That's the one where you get to the top and then straight down afterwards. How many times have you known a song but not the artist? A lot. Yeah. Right. Okay.

And then you, for the artist disappeared, you didn't know. because you liked the song, right? You never got into the dude's music. Yeah. Right. And then you think about artists like, we talk about those legacy acts. Kid Rock, Fleetwood Mac, the quickest two to think of. Yeah.

Guns and Rose, they're a list of them, right? But Kid Rock always referenced because if you got into Kid Rock, 90% of the people that got into his music really got into the wormhole of Kid Rock. You Kid Rock, man? Devil Without Causes. Yeah. What? Crazy.

And you kind of just see the journey. of him too. Dude, I could sing, I've been sitting here just wasting time, drinking, smoking, trying to ease my mind. Right now, the song came out of 96.

Yeah. I could sing it word for word. You know what I'm saying? Like, I could literally sing I've been sitting here, trying to find myself. That's a fucking banger dude. Take some time myself. I need to rewind myself.

I could sing that song word for word that came out in the 90s. I went down the kid. I'm a kid rock fan. You know, I can name cold and empty. I can name soft. of his that never made radio. They're just huge songs that in fact in my life.

None of the devil without a cause record made radio. Right. And we know it. You know, that built a cult following. Yeah. You know, to this day,

he said he's going to plan on him and he did. I mean, no, somebody I'm on now too is, uh, NF. He's kind of like, that kid is cold.

Yo, I don't have the plug on him. I'll admit it. But he is local. Yeah, he is local. He is local. He,

um, bro, the, the, and that just depressive thing continue to talk about especially when you're successful now especially when you're successful now

when you were talking about what you sing about the first person that came to mind was NF yeah yeah you can like listen to his album and like feel what he's going to and you create those bases those loyal those loyal audiences that like understand what you're trying to write about and in y'all's world it's the bustling

with the boys guys it's the guys in the comment on this video right now the ones who the tier ones baby tier one baby those do They're like riding with you. NFs, jelly rolls, artists like that get to create that. Co-wets a lot of Texas.

I think he'll end up with the number one song on country radio. But if he don't, that dude is selling out baseball stadiums in Texas. Really? Yes. You know what I'm saying? I think I lost my fucking mind. That dude is crazy. Texas country is a motherfucker.

Cody Johnson was a great example of that. Somebody who built a core following. He'd go sell out arenas now. He sells out the fucking Houston rodeo. 80,000 people. That thing is a big ass road. Is that the biggest radio in America? Yes.

That's the biggest one. 80,000 people, dude. And that dude's just now starting to break country radio. Isn't that wild? Man, you know what's cool, though? He owns his motherfucking music. It did for him. That is cool.

And listen, man, that dude, I think I'm doing okay. Man, that dude's going to buy an island one day. I didn't really know about this whole world of like, I mean, I knew about it. But then you got like pioneers who were trying to like recreate it. And I've been following a. Mike, Mike Studd and he's somebody that seems to be very much His podcast is fire Which one is that?

He's got a second on now You never know that one is fire Yeah The dude who's that lineman that was with Mike Tyson Doing that podcast hotbox and he left And he came on Mike Studs But what's his name? Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He hit me.

I was like, dude, I... It's like the Shoal song, man, my music's so somber and serious in tone that I was looking for... That's why I wanted to get on here with y'all, man. I wanted to fucking, I wanted to spend the first 10 minutes laughing and making dick jokes. Good. I need that. Because people like, I know I deal, I help people with addictions. I know I help people with depressing.

Right. But I also want to laugh, man. I want people to know that, you know, it's like the music. Sometimes you'd have this thing like, I don't want people to expect me to walk around with my face in the mud. It's there. It's therapy for you, too, to be able to laugh. I get it. Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, it's like, man, let me come on here and fucking joke. And you don't have to be serious all the time. People try to be serious all the time or joke all the time. You can pick one once in a while. It's okay to jump ship once in a while. It's cool to have a duality, Doc. It's the circle of life, man. It's why I think the Grateful Dead did so well.

I tell people, you're a Grateful Dead fan by chance? I'm not a Grateful Dead fan, but I know Gary who's missing here today is a huge one. It looks like it too. You fuck with Grateful Dead or not? No, I just know about their merch that we used. There's shit, though, their merch, right? So you'll understand this. Their shit was a skull and a teddy bear.

Yeah. That was the duality of the dead. Right? That's the brand I wanted to create musically. I want to create something where you could party to it, but you could cry to it. You know what I'm saying? Like that was always my goal as an artist.

You know what I mean? To be able to take it deep either way. Yeah. So that's what I modeled my entire shit after how the Grateful Dead was so good about like guns and roses, right? You know what I'm saying? Like it shows the two different sides of, you know, sweet child of mine and the fucking heavier shit, right?

You know what I'm saying? The Paradise City shit. You know, it's like to me, that was, just what it was about. Sweet Chowd-Miles, Harold Smith, by the way. That's all right. I wasn't going to say it. But thank you. You're a good man. I am. Thank you for recognizing. A guy with his outfit like that, I wouldn't expect any different. Right. But it was like the duality of Paradise City and the heart of shit. You know what I'm absolutely. To me, that's what music's about. It's what podcasting is about.

Y'all make motherfuckers laugh and then you dig deep. You know, it's like, to me, that's the shit that works. What's why we all love Joe Row? Yeah, you got Arthur Smithston on the bus one week and the next week, Jellyroll. Couldn't be no fucking different, dude. I'm just glad I didn't get no comment. you yeah yeah no, Arthur's all about them no comments right now I know dude

he's on a different wave he's on a different wave you feel like you had to find your voice after you like as you were getting going in because when I was looking at some of the stuff I didn't know you

wrapped like Little White yes my boy man yeah you know you remember Little White I do not like back in middle school like in my sister yeah

it sounds like fun yeah yeah if you were a white and you were banging little white back in the day dude oh for sure

fuck you then right yeah I wasn't It's like tell me you're in your 30s without telling me you're in your 30s. Right, right, right, right. I can't believe you. That's my boy, man. He was signed a 36 Mafia. He was the first white guy that hypnotized minds.

So I don't know. Are you familiar with 36? I know 36. He's the one who signed them first. They signed him first. And this dude gave me my first real opportunity, him and a guy named Haystack. And I love the white for this, man. He took me on my first tour.

You see the split album right there? Yeah, we did No Filter 1, No Filter 1, No Filth. filter two and we're working on no filter three. Oh, really? So you're working all the time. Yeah, man. I put out 44 songs last year. That's awesome.

You seem like you're always like featuring and like working with other artists too. Yeah, man. I just love to, I love people, man. I love to put the dots together, man. I love shooting the shit with people. I just, you know, I just love people, man. I just want to work.

I just, listen, man, I, God have been so good to me, dude. I wasn't supposed to be sitting on the bus, y'all. I was like, you know, there's a lot of people that sit on this bus that you're like, no, he's supposed to be on the bus. Yeah. And there's a group of people that are going to comment like, that's my boy right there. He shouldn't be on the bus.

He's speaking for us right now. You know what I'm saying? Like I was like, so for me it's like, man, let's just work, dude. It sounds like you've got it all figured out, man. It's not, I mean, it sounds like you have to follow you on. You're going to. Yeah. That's fucking obesity.

But other than that, fuck. We've fucking got it all. Sounds like you get, you've got to figure it out, man. And having the fan base you do, someone that follows you as tightly as you say they do is unbelievable. That's awesome. That's more important than if, like you said, a flash in the pan. Yeah, man. I tell people there's in the music business, you got a flash in the pan and a full blown fire.

And I thank God that I feel like I am creating a full blown fire. It's never over, is it? It's always a work in progress to do things, whether it's self-work, football, rap, music, anything. There's never a finish. Yeah, I really believe that my best songs are in my windshield or not my rear view. That's awesome. And if I didn't believe that, y'all, will I quit? I'd stop today.

The catalog for 44-mill. right now sell it for whatever i could get for right now if i didn't really like in my me and my wife talk about this a lot man shout out my wife she's my rock she's helped me she's changed my whole life i was dead broke when i met her and she she helped me so much but uh i tell her all the time man i i wake up every day and i just if i didn't really believe that my best song wasn't in the in the in the windshield not the rear view i'd have to quit today i don't want to be that guy singing save me in 20 years and that's the only song you know me for right you know what i mean i don't want to be that guy yeah i mean i'm blessed to be here anyways but

I'd rather ride out and play you don't want to be Sinatra saying my way in Vegas 20 years after he said my I would literally rather wait until you all started your own podcast network quit music and y'all give me a shout yeah you know maybe something bigger than a bus because I'm a big fella we might be in the trailer we might be in the trailer yeah yeah I like that

trailer park pimping might be going on that I was like I'm gonna copyright that right now so when you come to my ass I'll fucking y'all be waiting for that check you learned something a little man or two I did. We'd be charging the 95-5. You know, fucking question. Hey, listen, it is fucked up a label

to do with NFL teams due to people, but I would do it. Yeah, I'm saying? Yeah. But changed all of our lives, though. You know, you think about it. Yeah. That's crazy.

Hey, you were bringing up your wife, and it made me think about when I was adding you earlier on Twitter, and your latest tweet was just going after some helpless little soul. For what did he ask you? He trolls you. He said, how do you get a,

how do you get such a hot wife? and fuck, what else did he say? He had the nerve to say, how do you get such a hot wife and I'm skinny and have no tattoo? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was kind of like giving a backhand of compliment. And he's still single. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm still the one that's single. And I just, like, dude,

it's two, only two you talk about, okay, this is where I, full disclosure, the two comments that bother me are never about me, right? It's always when they attack my wife or my daughter. And it's sad that we live in a world where even my daughter gets attacked. Yeah, it's so fucked up. That is fucked. She's got her braces and she's getting her teeth fix and people will like be like what's wrong with your teeth like she's fucking 12 you

fucking bitch right you know what I'm saying like 80% of people had braces what are you talking about my teeth were fucked at 12 yeah say saying you know what I'm saying it's like get the fuck out of here you know what I mean but it's like he ain't kidding yeah this is it yeah he said he said uh how'd you get such a hot wife I'm 26 have no tattoos and I'm not big like you and yet I'm single as fuck like dude listen man no matter the waiter shitty tattoos I'm confident enough to show myself because once again this dude has like a fucking like picture of like YoCon or some shit. You know what I mean?

Mr. Nobody underscored 28. So most girls, I said most girls don't give a fuck how you look. They care how you make them feel, which I stand by. You know what I mean? Absolutely. And I don't say haters shit on social media

and crying because the fat dude gets the pussy and he don't. I love if I gave him some information at the end gave him a little stick in the room. Yeah, yeah. It was like, listen, man, you should have to treat a lady, but also the fuck yourself. Yeah, yeah. It's almost like, dude, just listen, man, they call my wife

a gold digger. I was ass broke when I met her. Man, when I met that bitch, I was down on my luck. I'm telling y'all, dude, I didn't have... You must have some game, dude. Dude, listen, man, I was just me. Put the boys on game now.

I got one guy. Just, just, poor kiddo. But, you know, just enough to slide in there. You know, it's enough to... But she thought I was an asshole because I was kind of stiff. I was also addicted to fucking codeine. Sure.

Of course, I was an asshole. I answered questions four minutes later. I looked like, hey, jelly, three minutes later, I'd be like, stop. But it's like, she just seen potential, man, and she calls me, I'm like, I was like her little fixer up project. Yeah. And she had money.

She had a house. I was couch surfing before she let me slide in the bedroom, you know? Yeah. I got one night in that bedroom, baby. It never got off that. You hear me, dog. I wrote that pony to town. I wrote that pony to town.

I rode that pony to town. Eih. But, yeah, no, it just worked, man. That's my, they call her a gold dig. That makes me a little mad. Because it's just like, it's just that hater shit. It's like a lack of an education. Low-hanging fruit type shit.

It's like, dude, come on, man. Because you think, like, and also I'm insulted. Like, you think a big dude, like couldn't pull a girl that looks like that? Like, listen, man, my wife would be the first one to tell you, I didn't date ugly girls before her. You know, like, I've always been kind of a, I wasn't like the smell. Have you ever heard my fat people rant on TikTok? I wasn't like the fat dude that, like, smelled his earwax and wore a Batman's shirt with his stomach showing. Yeah.

I wasn't a fat dude on the scooter in Walmart. I was a different breed of fat person. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah. I'm fat, but I'll go, yeah, like, I'll get day drunk and go golf with you. I can do everything but ride a roller coaster. Right.

You know what I'm saying? And I would really like to. They just haven't made one I can squeeze it. Yeah, I understand. How many times have you tried to have gone a roller coaster? Dude, I tried to get on the thing to get the ring of fire one time. Sure. And, man, I was smaller.

Man, it just couldn't work. One happening. Man, I felt like Bowers are on Mars. car dog when that thing was coming down I was all hunched over my legs was stuck in I mean I was just they could have got it to click but it would have been the most miserable five minutes of my life

yeah that's a long ass roller coaster that thing five minutes yeah I don't know how long they are you feel that click in your yeah you're rid one I understand I'm guessing I can't understand what you're coming from I'd love to ride boy yeah but it's like pretty much everything else you know as a big dude I can do you know roller coasters and commercial flights just are fucking against you it's got to be like first class and

even then it's a little pressing. You know what I'm saying? It's a little pressing. I got to kind of get in there. You sell that catalog. You'd be flying on a G6. Yeah, you're telling you.

You pick up all the plane you want. Yeah, for sure. But I just got to be careful not to go broken. How many years is it? Five to seven? Five to seven years. Three to five years.

You're not fat, but you're a mountain of a man. I'm tall, man. It's really about the decapitation I'm worried about, not the weight.

But what about the ones with the cage? Because that's what the ring of fire was. It had the cage over the top of you? Oh, a cage over top of you? Oh, a minute then. No, Paul. I love roller coasters. A cage over the top. It was like a cage. You know, the one you get in, it's like a cave. That sounds like a carnival.

We'll pull it up in a second. I mean, because I can't ride roller coaster, I've never, like, been to six flags. Yeah. I must sound like a carnival. I just go there and be sad. I'm just saying, walk all my homies to the gate. See, when you get back, take the fast pass. I tell you what you need to do.

It needs to be the fatties clothing line and a theme park for fat people. Man, imagine going around that circle. For big people. Could you imagine creating a theme park? Yeah, that's a. And that's the one I picked to get on. Now that I look at it, what a bad choice. Imagine writing that for five minutes.

That'd be fucking terrible. After a minute and a half, you're like, can we get the fuck off this thing? How long did it last? I was, I was tripping. They got to be like 45 to two minutes tops. Yeah. Oh, that's fucking, wow. I was tripping asses of the night.

When it was at the Tennessee State Fair. Oh, really? And I was just tripping hard enough to be like, I want to get on this thing. Yeah. And then it just didn't want to have for me. The, uh, there's one at, uh, the one we did is fucking like the roof. Just five minutes of that, dude.

Hey, what's the one we went to in Disney World, the Universal? Hulk? No, it was a small one. It was like a Space Mountain, the Space Mountain. That motherfucker, dude, I saw there. There's a few times. I would just, I sat on this for the entire ride waiting for it to be over. It was so, it was, the ceiling was so low.

Because one of those indoor rollercoasters. And people have gotten to captivated before. People have fucking died on the Space Mountain or whatever. Yeah. So it was People have died on Space Mountain I think to look it up I mean I'm all about being wrong

But yeah Yeah Yeah if you don't die on that shit dude It's crazy But yeah roller coaster's I'm all about that dude I'm all about the stomach Going out healing It's in the list of things I miss as a fat person

Yeah I'd love to do a roller Because I don't have no fear of them Like I jump off cliffs and shit still When we go to the lake Sure Because like when we're on tour We have a day off

We'll go find a lake somewhere And we're in a boat And take the whole tour crew out And go find a cliff And jump off of And I don't know Trip at acid or shrooms or something great.

Yeah, the usual stuff. Yeah, you know, casual Tuesday. Yeah, this is the fucking thing. So my head, fucking way. My hair is touching the top of that. Yeah, it is fucking. Could you imagine taking that on acid? What a trip that or just even like a thousand milligrams of edibles.

That would be your thousand. You jump two zeros. You take two zeros on that. One thousand? Ah! You know. It's a thousand. Anything over 500 milligrams for me, but I start to get weird.

Bro, listen. No one's just like a Stephen Hawking, you're by yourself. However, I've heard you take 10 and get fucked. Yeah, I mean, dude, listen. Sitting there, you get the Stephen Hawking. Yeah. I took a smooth hundred on the way. And I feel pretty nice.

I drank a couple shots at the Keelan and started feeling like, all right, I'm on the fucking bus with the boys. You're out of the car. I'm drinking y'all's athletic absence. There you go. I like that. You did it. What does it say? I already died once in 98.

That's the... Deemed unrelated after the festival. Yeah, I'm sure. Natural causes. Natural causes. Yeah, you just had a heart attack. But that place is so much fun, dude. You get a chance to get a universal.

You can pay this fee and have like a, like a chauffeur. Like take you and the person that knows all about the rides and everything. And you basically tour. We had every single park in one day and rode every ride we wanted to. Really? Had time for doubles, too. That's how fast you go through stuff. Is it like faster than the fast track?

Oh, it's, oh yeah. You take a van up to the back of the ride. And then you go up an elevator and you're in it. No, fucking. And they stop to people, they go, oh, yeah, you two just wait real quick. And then you fucking go right in front of them. And you're like, hey, that's awesome. And then all of a sudden, you like, I like to ride that again.

It costs. You have to do seven hours. 10 hours. It's saying it's 10 hours. But it really wasn't like if you had a group of, if you had like a group of eight. Yeah, it's really not bad. Sorry, it's up to 10 people and it's for the day. So, what, 2,500 divided by 10?

Well, I don't know the fuck that is, right? Right, right. 250 per person. Thank you. Yeah, you get a little groove, dude. That's no, that's not bad at all. We had every single ride in Disney World. Jeez.

Every single one. Now, did y'all go like as a crew? Taylor went to do with the film. Taylor went to me with the Pro Bowl. That's fucking awesome. Yeah, it was right. It was very nice. It was very nice for him to do that.

I went to the Pro Bowl. I took Taylor with me. Yeah. He was there. I was there. We were both there. We were both there. It's fucking, it's rad, dude.

We did Tower of Terror six times. Now, listen, can we vlog it and make it an Under the Hood when I get skinny enough? He's a huge fan of the Under the Hoods. He was telling me that before the bottom. Dude, I think, I think, like, y'all should do three on a week. Yeah, I don't want to incorporate it in, like, regular life. I can't. I love that your video team was like, fuck you, daddy.

We're not doing no more of those. I can see like Will just be like, hey, it's me. All right, it's Wednesday. Let me do it. Make it a latte. No, no, no, no. Anyway, go to the bus now. You've for sure

I think that shit is fucking great. So genuine. And it's like, it's like the people like, listen, man, it's personal. Like, this is personal because y'all like are really open. But it's like, that shit is totally different. When I seen you out there tinkering with the fucking generator, I almost pissed myself.

He probably did that two times. Then he made Jack do it. Yeah, but it was still. He was like Jack. He needed to get to get a fucking rip this thing. But to me, it was just funny. Like, here goes this fucking these two professional athletes that are like. Oh, no, Taylor wasn't there.

Like a shit in the hood. That was it. I watched also. Hey, you and I watched the same video. We both laughed. And they're like trying to fucking start a generator. Yeah. And I'd been here by then.
