The boys then get into how Ern just won a CMA Triple Play Award, for the second time. He talks about how/where he is able to find the motivation and creativity to write these kinds of songs.

Dr. Pepper bottles? Like, you made that mistake? Yes. Oh. And honestly, that mistake happened, um, a year and a half ago at my spot that you, that you were at when I lived over off of 37th Avenue. Your birthday party. Yeah.

When he had came over in the next day, I fucking took a swig of his dipper, bro. Of his spitter. That's brutal. And it was, oh, my God. I think it's a right of passage, though, like as a dude, I've done it on accident and on purpose.

On purpose. Was it like a... Do you want to hear it? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. So, first of all, shout out. Bring out the Chevy ad, too.

Like, Earn, he's one of the boys. Shout out David Lipson. Baseball team. we're in the final four today. I think we're playing Knoxville Catholic or something. We beat McCauley yesterday. Go Lib's going. So, also, you got to beat the Catholics in the final four.

22 years ago today, I found this out, after already left the house in this, one of my dad's old players texted me, it was like, you know, 22 years ago today, we won the state championship, and they were wearing these jerseys. I'm like, what are the odds? So that leads into why I drink dipspit. I got out of school one day and took a little victory. post a little victory lap around the neighborhood with a few friends after school. And so I had victory on my breath for sure.

And on my fingertips. It smells like victory out there right now. Right when I walked in, I was like, God, it smells like victory. Jody drama. So anyways, so I had, I was dipping Grizzly natural at the time. I'm in my truck. It's rainy day. I'm going down Caldwell next to the Lipscomb football field.

So if you pull out of the Lipscomb parking lot, take a right, you go across the stop sign, you go up the hill, you're going towards Franklin Road. That's the victory lap. Well, yeah, all around that neighborhood, victory laps. There's no earnestest making many victory laps around there. All day. So I got back in my truck, and I'm leaving Lipscomb.

So I'm going up, Caldwell, and I have like a half full bottle of dip spit in my cup holder in my truck. And me and this one other dude both roll through the stop sign going opposite ways. And this cop, this guy, this now, are you by yourself? I'm in my own truck by myself now at this point. I left the team of three.

And I'm on my way. And it's raining. And me and this guy both roll through a stop sign. And a cop is right here. And a cop turns his lights on. I'm like, shit. If he pulls me over right now, I know my breath. So I like go down, I get down the hill and I pull over and I just take a glug, glug at this brisly.

natural, the saltiest. Hey, Bob. And that's my dad. Shout out, dad. Well, give him an answer, dude. We can pause it. Hey, dad. What's up?

Hey, I'm in the middle of a podcast right now, but I'm answering your call. But yeah, so Jeff Baumgartner, let me know that 22 years ago today was the state championship 2001. And then the next one was 10 years later.

I don't know what day that was, but it was 10 years later. I'm going to call to see if you're still proud of me. All right. All right. We'll see you. Bye. Anyways,

back to weed. Hang on there. Is there a part of you that thought like maybe I'm just in my own head? Nothing's going to happen here. Nope. Like what? Hey, maybe vibrate.

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe vibrate now. Like maybe the cop rolls up. Your window rolls down. He's like, oh, you smell like a winner, brother. I didn't have that in my head at that point.

I had monsters. Surviving with men. So, important to note, on the back of my truck, I had a, I'm on a boat sticker. I had a Beatles sticker and I had a Bob Marley sticker. Just look at the camera. Yeah. So, anyway, so I pull over. I just chugged this and now I'm like trying to keep down throw up as the cop is walking up to my.

I feel like that little spark down there right now. Like, yeah, how fuck you? I roll down the window. I roll out the window. He's like, I was like, man, I was like, you could have, I was like, you could have pulled over either of us. The guy ran it too. He goes, I was going to pull over.

God, dude. We were going to kill that fly before. Did you just? Did I? No. Dude, I was about to say, but this guy through year 13 with that kind of hand-dact coordination. Just me, Yagi that fly.

So I was like, man, I was like, that other guy ran it too. He was like, I know. I was going to, he was like, whoever pulled over, I was stopping. I was like, and he kept going. I was like, okay. Well, shit. Should have kept going. But he goes, let me see your license.

And at this point, he doesn't smell anything on me. I would have probably been fine. I was in my head. But he goes, let me tell you what. I know a few things about you. He goes, I graduated high school the year you were born. Cool. He goes, Ernest is a interesting name.

Yeah, he goes, you like the, he goes, you like Saturday Night Live? I go, yeah, he goes, and you smoke weed. I go, I go. why do you say that? He was like, the bumper stickers, dead giveaway. They just start puking all over the bucket. He was like, the bumper stickers, day giveaway, get home safe, it's raining. And I'm like, I would have been fine.

Dude, I was so messed up about it for the rest of the day. And I'll never forget that story. And every time I go through there, I stop all the way now. And you just think to yourself, man, I really wasted. Why in the fuck did I chug my own dips? That was like the dumbest stone thing I've done. I was like, oh, this will get rid of. of the weed on my breath.

If I just drink my dips. Yeah. Cop pulls me over. Oh, my God, I'm going to prison. You just start fucking chugging the dispit. That's like, do you see the dude that swapped seats with his dog? And he got pulled over with the DUI. He got, you see that?

What? What? Yo, my man got pulled over. He was definitely drunk. I mean, definitely. He was something. He's in the passenger seat and the dog's in the driver's seat when the cop gets there. Day.

Dog just looks up. Is there some kind of issue here? Yeah. Fuck, man, that's, I'm sure he went to jail, yeah. The pound. Oh, man, speaking of grit and spit, how about we talk about the Chevy Silverado? Do you want to learn about this new Chevy Silverado EV? I'm intrigued.

So, the first ever all-electric Silverado joins the franchise with the most valuable truck, the MVP, we like to say the Chevy Silverado. Now is an all-electric vehicle. We've got the chance to see this thing and experience. Let me tell you, brother. What do you like about it? Wow. I'll tell you right now.

Okay. Available 400 mile range GM estimated on a full charge. I was talking to one poor bastard and he was like, man, I got this hybrid. I won't say the brand vehicle because no free shoutouts, but he was like, man, they say on a full charge, I'll get 60 miles. And so I was like, brother, let me put you on some game. The new all-electric Silverado EV that came out, you get 400 miles on a full charge, over 10 feet in length in the bed with a multi-flex tailgate combined with a multi-flex midgate. So if you get caught in there and it's a lot of gate, dude, a lot of gate. A large 17-inch diagonal display screen, it can tow up to 10,000 pounds of max towing,

zero to 16 under 4.5 seconds with wow mode. 4.5, your boy ran that at his pro day, up to an impressive 785 pounds of torque. Do you know what torque is? Yeah, that's like where things start really getting going. You're right there right there. Head over to Chevy.com to learn more. Head over to Chevy.com to learn more. That is our presenting sponsor, the Chevy Silverado.

That's great. Strong, dependable. I'm sold. Fast. You going to buy one? You are Chevrolet. I am fucking Chevrolet, dude. Where do we go from here?

Dude, my boy Mitch, I was like, hey, give me the boy I know Ernest has been killing it recently, but I need to be able to quantify. I need to be able to get my arms around everything he's done. Okay. Look at this list of updated shit on Ernest. Good little list. It's a good list. The one that I'm like had no clue about is you won an award in March during the

Country Music Association Triple Play Awards, which honors songwriters who have written three number one songs within a 12-month span. Your songs were not all on Wallens record, not all separated. Wallins wasted on you, Sam Hunt's, break. up was easy in the 90s and Kane Browns won Mississippi. Yeah. Dude, that's fucking awesome. Yeah, triple play award is a, is a sweet award because there's guys in town that have

written 20 number ones, but the timing of them haven't lined up to where you get three in a 12 month period. That's my second triple play. I got one last year. And I hope to get one next year. That's like, it's not a ridiculous goal to set. I mean, it's cool and I don't take it for granted, but we're just running. but we're just writing a lot of songs and thank God for the artists that are cutting them

and the people that are listening to them because I don't know like I don't know that I'm doing anything way different now than I was doing five years ago but it's clicking. I'm not going to slow down now. There's got to be like a momentum and a skill there too. Like you're like thank God the artists are cutting them but it's like you're writing songs. You got to be in your mind thinking all this would be perfect for so-and-so. Kane Brown, Sam Hunt. Obviously, you're very close with Wallen because you've written, what was it, 11 of his 36 songs on his new album that dropped in March.

But there's got to be a part of you. I mean, that's a fucking skill, bro. It's crazy. It seems like you're figuring it out. Figuring it out. And relationships are important that have grown, like my relationships with other artists, too, because you can just bypass so much in between middleman stuff and just text a song or write it with the artist. Yeah. So, yeah, I've been, I've been very blessed to be able to kind of wind up where I'm at right now.

I ain't going to stop anytime soon. He said, I'm blessed. Like, you're fucking, you're a dog right now, brother. Does it get easier? Like, now when you, like, write a song or anything like that and you shoot out that text or anything else, has it gotten easier for you to be like, you know, people are probably like, man, Ernest fucking wrote me something. Sometimes. But, like, you know, artists are artists. So, like, putting the other cap on, they're getting a lot of stuff.

song sent. You know, like sometimes I doubt, I doubt they're listening to it the second I send them to them. It's like timing is everything too. Like, I could send you a song and you never hear it. Then I'll see you on a bus at a festival in three months. Like, yo, do you ever hear that? No. Then I'll sit down and play it. And then you're personally, yo, this is crazy. It's like, it's being crazy. I'm like, hey man, you should make what I said. You should make a song about it. Yeah. Some hometown mom, you're like, yeah, I sent you this a couple months back here. Check it out again. Yeah, that happens. But, um, dude, dude, it's It's all about momentum and just like anything else, it comes and goes in waves and keep your feet moving when the wave is slow and keep your feet moving when the wave is all for you.

Because when it's hot, it's hot. When it's hot, it's cold, it's cold. There's really no in between in this. It's either hot or cold. When's the last time it's been cold for you? Been a minute. I was on the bus. Come on, no. It was cold. It was cold. It was hot on the bus, but it was cold. I was out of here. drinking 17 mimosas at 10 in the morning. Hey, come meet me over at the tavern. Yeah. Let's order up some cocktails.

I'm like, brother, it's 11 a.m. You were still playing ball. We were, I mean, that was a... We're going to Logan's after this. Dude. Logan's Roadout. No free shoutouts. No free show at Logan.

Logan's, I think, is either close or was close at one point. Because they were like, yeah, I would assume still close. Like, if they know what's good for them. And they're like, hey, can we, you guys do it? because they also rep Riley Green too. Yeah. Like, could you guys do a podcast in a Logan's Roadhouse? We would love nothing more.

Yeah, dude. Then do a podcast. I started doing all my podcasts out of Logan's Roadhouse. Are you firing your pod back up? Yep. We've backlog two episodes. I'm basically doing an episode a week now. I'm just doing it out of my bus.

I had this crazy idea to start doing a podcast on a bus. I just something I'd never seen done before. Ever. I don't think it has ever been done. Ever. So we're innovative on that. hot things and we're doing it off of the bus. It's pretty great.

Is it still called just being earnest or just busing earnest? Touring with the boys. You're doing with it. Are you with the fellas? Are you able to say who the guests are? Yeah, I got Hardy. He'll be my first episode back. I just did one with Parker McCollum.

I got Bailey coming up. I'll probably get young Glennie balls out here. He's been making some waves, man. Glennie is a wave. He is a fucking wave, dude. Himmy balls. Seems like you can't have your boy Morgan on it for, what is it, at least six weeks, yeah? He's on, he's on, he's on, we just do like a, he's on vocal rest.

We do like, be like doing a podcast with Stephen Hawking. Just fucking typing. They've been pretty crazy on the road. It's been a good time. We're blessed. Oh, man. I'd love you more than my hometown. Were you, uh, were you with him?

What were you torn around with him? whatever fucking happened when he strained them vocal cords or whatever the fuck it was called? Yeah, I've been with him all year. And be honest, bro, everybody's getting a little bit hoarse. You see people are canceling shows left and right. Ingrid Andres just had to cancel some. It's real, dude. It's a grind out here, especially my man's singing his ass off.

Like, singing his ass off. I don't know if you've been, you've been to, have you seen a Morgan show? No. My man is working out there. So this is a good little, it's a good little break for everybody. still had shows. We're going to pick back up and it's going to be an awesome rest of the year. Podcasters are even feeling it. Yeah. I was horse there for a minute. You've been going. Yeah, we keep the ship going. We don't, yeah, we don't. Yeah, we don't. We don't stop because I remember

when you were, we're talking at your, your kid's birthday party. Yeah. Morgan, what's, what's over the morning? You're like, oh, he's trained his vocal court. Yeah. Started talking about making that, making that little real. Yeah, dude. I went to the doctor. Hilarious. Fucking, what's the vocal positis. Vocal piscitis. That's me.

That's my own walk. That's not what you were saying. Do you guys ever bust his balls? It's all one big ball busting community around there. Yeah. Like, hey, send us a video. No. Give me a ball buster.

Give me a ball buster you toss Morgan when he had the whole vocal rest thing. I don't really give him any ball buster on vocal rest. Just in general in life, we just bust each other's balls. Yeah. Or smack the back of each other's necks. Like, it's probably more physical ball busting. Oh, you guys do the slap necks. Yeah, we slap necks.

Like, are we talking hard? Are we talking like, hey, give me your neck? We come for that neck. Slap pretty hard. Really? Yeah. I feel like that's like a fighting gesture. Yeah.

Yeah, we tussle. Sometimes we be out here smacking. You'll give us a fucking road story with the boys. Let's see you here. I'm trying to think. You can't be doing these shows. Like, you guys are doing these shows together. Like, you guys are like best fucking friends out on the road.

I know you've got to have something in the tank, especially as a recent. With flower shops to your little deluxe mission that came up. I know. I'm trying to think because, dude, the way our tour is set up now, it's like run so tight ship professional. Like, we all pull up, we all have multiple buses to our own crews. Like, we got the parking, the back lots are full of, like, there's probably 20 buses. You get your own bus now. 20 trucks. I got my own bus.

My band's got a bus. So we pull up and, like, wake up, have breakfast, maybe get a workout in. I don't really even see Morgan until close to showtime. And then we rock a show. Are you guys just basically all on your own bus? Pretty much. Doing our own thing. We'll play it.

Yeah, I'm doing victory laps and playing skate three on my bus most of the time. And then, like, a lot of nights my first time seeing Morgan in the day is like right before he goes on stage. And then I'll see him when I come out to do either cowgirls or flower shops. We'll tap up, boom. And then as soon as I get off, I'm either leave. in the city or going to bed

because he'll still have like another 30 or 40 minutes in his set. That's like the juxta coolest thing ever and then he'll tell you too because he used to have to do it with Florida Georgia line like sometimes you get off you're done with your set

and it would be like man I'd love to just go pass out right now but then you remember that God has blessed you with the opportunity to go sing for 45,000 people a song that everybody knows and you're like yeah I can do this like I'll be victory-lapped out, just sitting on my bus post-show in my sweats or pajamas, sometimes just straight-rocking a robe and some Gucci flip-flops, like nothing else.

And then I'll be like, oh, damn, I got to throw some jeans and boots on. I'll tell you a funny story about something like that. When we were playing in Staples Center or crypto.com arena, it's Stapleson. Kobe didn't die for them to change that to crypto. some fucking crypto digital currency. And the bloods are not happy about that either. Blood do, dog. I'll tell you, when you're fucking,

when you slow it down in the music world, you've got to get into the stand-up world. Yeah, but I can't do both, man. I can't be operating. Why not? Think of those shows. What do you get when Magic Johnson bites an alligator? Caterades.

So anyway, so we're at the Staples Center. We're at the Staples Center. and Wiz Khalifa and Michael Phelps were in my green room smoking KKK. I was in rotation with Michael Phelps and Wiz Khalifa and my wife, Delaney. Dream rotation. I just couldn't believe it. So then Morgan's going on. So we all take the elevator.

We go up. We got this sweet. It's like top, middle, looking straight down. And I really hadn't gotten to watch a Morgan show like that all year. So I'm up there hooked with Michael Phelps, Wiz Khalifa. Some other people were watching. whiz pulls mine he's like some KK roll by whiz and I was like

yeah dude he's like yeah Santa Claus giving you a candy cane like it's like too good so I'm sitting up there can't believe it I'm wearing regular clothes civilian clothes and then I look up and it's like oh shit I got 12 minutes before

I got to be down there and we're doing flower shop so I elevator rush boom boom throwing a new fit I'm lit walk out on stage so in my mind I'd just been watching the show happen on the massive jumbo-trons and then tiny little Morgan down here, big production. And I walk out there, I'm like, dang, that's crazy.

Wiz can see me. Wiz is watching me right now in this massive thing, right? Because you're thinking how you're watching Morgan, you're so big, you, man. Right. That's literally, I'm in my head. I'm doing flower shops. And after flower shops every night, we throw roses.

Morgan's got a bouquet. I got a bouquet. We go out and milk it at the end of the thing, you know. Just play the game. You're playing the game, dude. get my roses and I go out there and I see this group of fellas and one of them was a tall black dude but I wasn't like oh that's whiz because whiz is up here in my mind right so I just see I see the fellas it's dark I can't really see much I was like oh I'm throwing roses to the fellas

didn't think nothing of it I get back to my green room Seth my manager runs in here he's dude whiz caught your fucking roses I was like no way whiz is up there he goes no whiz came down to watch from the pit I was like what and there's this picture I'll I'll well to put it in post, dude. Wiz is the happiest year. Wiz has his sunglasses on. He's holding up a bouquet of roses and just teasing so hard. Bro, that is so fucking dope.

Wiz caught my roses. Wiz Khalifa. He was Kalifa. He was Kalifa. Yeah, dude. All the mixtapes and everything's, like, he was the fucking man. That free, the very first freezer, I remember, like, 2010 or 11. Like, bro, I sprained my ankle at a Wiz Khalifa concert at Vanderbilt, my senior year

high school in the basketball gym. I was trying to get from, I was one of those people that was like, had normal-ass seats, but I jumped over the railing to get down on the floor. Lost a little bit of your athletic ability. Or gained it, dude. I went off after that.

I went off. That was pre-scholarship. Yeah, so I was like, you know, even trying to play it cool, but I'm also just glued to the couch with talking to Wiz Khalifa. I'm like, this is Wiz. This is Michael Phelph.

the winningest dude in all of Olympic history. And I'm pretty sure Olympics go back to Jesus time. Like, I'm pretty sure, dude. He has more gold medals than Jesus. Think about that. I cannot wait to get into our family. Oh, we're going to get into that. We will get into that later when we start having fun.

Bro, that is sick. Yeah, and two, the most notable. Yeah. Weat smokers in all the fucking time. Segway into my weekend coming up. Yeah, exactly. Willie fucking Nelson, bro. You're going to be...

Me and Jelly Roll are opening for Willie Nelson. God. Dude. Talk about the... Yeah, let's get a little fucking round of applause. Yeah, I'll round of applause. That's one of those... That's one of those...

That's one of those... You'd never dream up that lineup in a million years. Especially, like, go back to 2011. I'm at Jelly Roll's apartment over here in the cut. Getting dabs from Jelly Roll. He's just a rapper. I'm just a rapper. Aspiring rapper.

Obviously, I was private school. He was probably... Still number B-Rad, Malibus Most Woman in there. I'm like, oh my gosh, Jelly Roll, fast forward. We got a number one song at country radio together, son of a center. And then... You guys are like, what's so dope is you guys are like Nashville base, yeah? But you've both been on the bus and your guys' growth and trajectory.

Over the last, especially as of recent, is fucking crazy, bro. And Jelly Roll's just doing it. He's on a different plane of celebrity right now, bro. He's got a fucking documentary now coming out. Coming out on Hulu. Just saying for American Idol. Which, I mean, I know they got some cameos of me in there. Either that or they were just filming for no good reason a lot.

You texted you like, hey, am I going to make... Hey, we still in that thing? Can I post on Instagram? Yeah. Joe Rogan? To go from that, yeah, to go from that to... There's going to be a poster on my wall that is Willie Nelson, Jelly Roll, and me. That's like...

I just got chills, bro. I got chills, too, and... Oh, there he... Got his ass. A little stupid bitch boy, bitch-made boy, dude. You got it in me, dude, yes. Oh, another one. Another one.

So that is, you got, you're going to be hanging up a fucking poster of you jelly roll and fucking Willie Nelson. Yeah, I ordered a shirt from I'm a Gene Willie that has Willie Nelson's face on it. I'm for sure wearing it as I perform. Like, oh my God. I don't even care. I don't even care to get to smoke with Willie. I know it's fine.

Dude's 90. I'm blessed to even be in the same building as him. I know they got him protected with. with all, like, germs and all that. I just got to shake that man's hand. If we get a picture, the three of us, incredible. If not, like, will you please sign my bandana? Like, I'm going to do the, I'm going to fanboy for Willie Nelson.

I'm never fan boy, but, like, bro. And he's almost gone. That's what I'm saying. For the, for the, for what I'm trying to do with country music and where I pull inspiration from is more from that era than anything. Like the Haggards, the Waylands, the Willys, Chris Christofferson. The highwayman. Yeah, the highway men.

And it's like, we're doing a show with him. You at least have to allow him to hand you a joint. Whether or not he smokes. I'll go scrounging near where his bus was parked looking for roaches. Like, is this Willie Roach?

It's like, oh, you're not even going to ask. You're not even going to ask. You're just going to be, I got a Willie Roach, too. Yeah, that's it. Like, I got a pack of cigarettes from John Daly. I'll never smoke one of them, but I got a John Daly pack of cigarettes sitting in my golf bag. right now. I asked for one cigarette. He's like, just take the pack. And I was like, what an honor. Oh, yeah. And that's basically your father. That is my dad. That's yeah. That's my dad.

Yeah, bro, this life is crazy because you go from, I'm still such a fan of the things I get to do and the people I get to see. I'm a fan of my friends. Like, I'm a fan of Hardy. It's, it's like, but the barrier is broken. And I'm sure it's the same thing playing ball. It's like when you're on the other side of the field from Tom Brady. Like, you get a little tickling your dick. Absolutely, bro. There's no way you don't grow up seeing these people and now you're in the same field of work with them.

So it takes away the small talk barrier, you know, the little caution tape between you two. It's like now mono and mono. Yeah, dude, if I got to meet Luke Keeckley, who is my age. Yeah. But you are, you are fucking him, dude. But I'm with you. Like, there's always an element to me. myself that, you know, it's cool we get to do, like, podcasting and everything else.

But anytime we get to meet somebody that is, like, of status or somebody that's like, I've, like, look up to or anything else, I definitely, like, always want to take that moment to be a bit. Yeah. I'm a fan of your fucking work, bro. Yeah. I'm, like, not too cool to be a fan. Yeah.

And, like, that's the best part. Like, how gay is it if you just, like, start to posture with them? Like, oh, I can't speak on how gay anything is. I'm not in comedy. Yeah. But you know what I mean. No, dude, I totally know what you mean. First of all, make it great again.

Anyways, we can decide as a team whether we leave any of that in there. The gay, you know. The gay thing. Terro is the world's largest car sharing marketplace.

Dude, the best part of what I do for sure. And I think you too now being in the podcast, like, how you cross lifestyle. Like the, like the Beer Olympics are going to be athletes, comedians, musicians. And I love, like, I love comedy so much. So, like, I love comedians. Bert, like, Shane. Shane's maybe the best comedian on earth. Bro. At this time in the world. Yes, bro. And it's like, yeah, to get, I'm, you know, meet Theo

at the well for coffee and kick shit for 20 minutes and be on my way home and I'll see when I see, like, I love getting to hang with those types of people and like-minded individuals, because I do love comedy so much. And it's like, God, it's not all so serious, you know? And then you get to meet these people and they're just, they like hanging with us because we do something different. Yes, man. Especially like comedians, it's always like athletes want to be entertainers. Entertainers want to be athletes.

You got the, you know, the entertainers want to be comedians. Right. And everybody, like, everybody wants to, nobody's happy with themselves. No one's happy with themselves. That's where the best comedy comes from, too. We were at Shane's. Like, I was on a Shane's Secret Podcast yesterday. It either dropped, either dropped, you're listening to this on Thursday.

Either drops today or it dropped yesterday. But, dude, and just seeing the way Shane lives, like, my man, it lives the dorm room college life. 35-year-old. Talk about sharing a townhouse apartment. He's got three people downstairs. A couple of people right there on that main floor. And then him and his boy, Matt, live upstairs. Yeah.

And just like, a massive, like you just said, one of the best comedians, going right fucking now. Just literally like, oh yeah, we'll get into this podcast like after we do a few games of UFC and we're like passing the sticks and everything else. That's incredible. And he's like, yeah, this is, he's like, this is it. He's like, this is why I couldn't do the morning because, you know, we wake up a little later like one man's morning is another man's afternoon.

Yeah. But I'm just not even built that way. He was like, bro, why are you living like this? He goes, dude, I'm saving money. What are you talking about? That's a good, that makes a good comedian. It's like, you know, Theo shows up driving a Nissan truck, like an older Nissan truck. like an older Nissan truck's like,

you could be driving anything you want, I'm pretty sure. But it's like, it'd be weird if Theo Vaughn hopped out of a range rover. No doubt. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like I see. Shane did say we're walking up the stairs on my brother. You live amongst the people, yeah, because I say, it's what makes comedy good.

It is, bro. I've seen Theo literally driving. You remember when he posted, he had the black nutcracker. He said I just picked up a cat William statue. I ran it. He had like a lifestyle, life-size nutcracker last winter that he got from like,

Michaels or something and I ran into this man at the well in Green Hills and had that fucking... Nice coffee shop by the way. That fucking statue was in the back of his truck. Just picked up Cat Williams. That is so funny.

You'll pull up in a little old truck with a big black nutcracker in the back that he's calling Cat Williams. Only a comedian. Only a comedian, bro. Their brains think so much differently, man. It's insane. But I do think your brain.

Like, that's why I'm always like, every time I'm Ranja, I know, like, hey, you got any new jokes? written up. I think you're a funny cat. Thank you. You are too. Real recognized real. But there's something about the people like, you know, Jelly, jelly's funny. It's like you guys being able to freestyle and think on your feet and be so witty, it's just always impressive to like witness that in real fucking time.

Like my brain operates slowly. You know what I mean? I got dial up internet going on on my head. Like me, I got to sit down and actually think through stuff. You like write notes in a journal and make a whiteboard and stuff. Are you a Virgo? Yes. You know, that is hilarious That you just called my shit like that. Yeah, that's so Virgo, dude. You know Virgo fucking horoscope shit thing to do, dude.

God. What are you, two wing three? Three winged. No, no, yeah, yeah. Three wing two? Three wing four? What's the four? But yes, an achiever.

Yeah, you're an achiever. Do you want to get drinks later? Hey, we mix. I think we get along. Yeah, we mix up nice. What are you? What Enigram are you? Inneagram, I'm a two-wing three.

What's two? Helper? I must not be. I'm an achiever. Oh, yeah, so you're a three. You're a three. I'm pretty sure that's what that is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're say, oh, you're a rescuer. I think a two is. I need rescuing. Like, Delaney might be a fucking two. I think she might be a two. She's a Virgo, though, yeah? She's a Virgo. Because we've talked about it backstage.

She would know more about the Ineagram stuff. I don't know, man. The astrology thing is pretty funny to me, but like, so is religion. So it's like, you know, like, there's nothing like thinking the astrology stuff is bullshit and all that, all those things, right? But when you're reading some of those personality traits, I'm starting thinking, everyone's like, somebody. Hang on a second. Yeah. Hey, wait, how did you know that I had a TV coming in this week?

Yeah, now would be a good time to buy a 57-inch plasma screen. It's like, wait, I just bought one of those. How did they know? Yeah, bro, that shit, that stuff messes with your mind. It does. But I'm fucking, I'm into it. I love it. Yeah, I do too.

Like, I secretly love it. Like, if somebody's making fun of it, I'll join in. Like, yeah, shit's, hey, dude. Some people wake up and read Jesus is calling. I wake up and read Saturn is returning. Yeah. Oh, where were we? What were we fucking talking about?

Yeah, we've been all over the place. Yeah, yeah, we were talking about Theo picking up Cat Williams. Quick-witted, freestyle. Yeah, dude, yeah. I think, I think your podcast, rocks and Taylor, but you're not here now, are you? So this podcast rocks because of the people you have, the common theme with people you have through

with the exception of, you know, a few coaches and stuff like that who have different brains. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, for the most part, we all just like to have a good time. And they know that this bus and this podcast is just about a good time. Yeah, especially when you know, like, okay, I can cut it up a little bit. Yeah.

I don't have to feel like, okay, maybe what I just said there, like, I know. I said stuff that's going to get cut out of here already. Maybe. You know. Maybe. Maybe. I like to lean in a certain way.

I like to get some clicks. Yeah, we like to get some fucking traction out there on the net, bro. Yeah. But man, just thinking all you have left now is Snoop Dog, have you smoked with Snoop? No. Bro, it's like Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson? Snoop Dog's weed. I'm just going to throw in Michael Phelps because of lack of thinking of somebody else.

But that's a... I need to... Seth Logan would be one. That's like a Mount Rushmore type of... I got smoke with Seth Rogen. I got smoke with the Rogans. And... And Snoop, so when we were in Auckland, New Zealand, we got like in touch with the VIP concierge who like hooks up all the rappers with like a foreign car and weed when they get over there.

So I got, when I got to Auckland, I had like this crazy little Mercedes sports car and he gave me the rest of the weed that Snoop had left in Auckland. It was like a ounce and a half of like great weed. And then we got into, we flew from Auckland, not with the bud, because we were. were getting more there. We got somewhere in, I think it was Sydney, and they brought us a bag of weeds and Lamborghini Euras. And it was like, dude, I'm out here living like a rapper

on a country country tour in Sydney. But low key, that you're, that's, that's the wave you want to be on. Like, you, you started off. You know, I love that shit. You had the, you know, you had the, you like, started off, like, wanted to do the whole rap game and everything. If I get to live my rapper fantasies without, like, you know, actually ever having to rap.

Hey, look, keep bridging some gap to where you're doing, like, kind of both. Well, bro, that's not, like, we got that song I wrote when I helped Morgan write a verse for this little Dirk song that's coming out on the little Dirk Broadway girls, a little Dirk Morgan. I think, you know, I don't know. I think we're going to have like a Money Baggio song with Morgan probably at some point. I help Penn. Like, I get to have a foot in the, like, the rap game. It's not like I got fucking Cooleo on a song. It's like, no, we're in the screets with the rap shit.

And the boys spoke with you, too. Like, Whiz Cleveland, holding a book, goddamn roast cheezing, bro. I got to find that photo, bro. And, boy, you got respect out there, man. Trying. But it's like, back to just, let's just have a good time. I think it's disarming if we know we're just going to have a good time. Yeah.

Segwaying with the Snoop Dog. I'm saying that she just had something dropped. What was the song? What did you just release? It takes after you. I just put out. Spotify single Nightlife. Oh, oh, oh, yeah.

Yeah, with 49 Winchester. It came out. It's an old Willie Nelson song. It came out today. Came out this morning. Shout out the boy. But what I was talking about was Snoop Dog, he just had a viral clip talking about the streaming industry. Specifically, Spotify on, have you seen it?

No. And you bring it up. We can take time and cut out the dead space. But basically Snoop was calling out the streaming industry. Like, we got to do a better job of taking care of the creators. Because back in the day when you would sell, you know, thousands, millions of, CDs and everything else. You're selling them out of your vehicle. You're, you know, it's a physical CD or tape or whatever that you can buy. And you would see profits from that, whether you're doing a split revenue deal or however you're getting paid from your label. And now with streaming, a lot of things are exclusive to streaming. You're not really selling those records. You're not really selling those CDs. You're not really seeing, like when you go to, I think you compare to two with the box office. Like, you know, at a box office when you sell X amount of tickets and you kind of see that revenue generation, you know, the talent is able to split inside of that revenue stream.

Right. Now with the streaming industry with Spotify and everything else, it seems like Spotify does you know, it's really buttoned up to kind of take advantage of the creator instead of sitting next to the creator and allowing everybody else to make their fair share in the whole thing. And we can listen to you throw on the headphones. Also look at this. And we got to send that, send that. Do you have Blas's number?

I'll send it to Blas. Send it to Blas. So he can chop it in when you're talking about it. Because I don't understand how to fuck you get paid off of that shit. Like, I mean, can somebody explain to me how you can get a billion streams and not get a million dollars? Like, that shit don't make sense to me. Like, I don't know who the fuck running the streaming industry of you in here or not. But, nigga, you need to give us some information on how to fuck to track this money down.

Because one plus one ain't adding up to two. That shit don't add up. And I have to say it. Because that's the main gripe with a lot of us artists is that we do major numbers with streams in this shit, but it don't add up to the money. Like, what the fuck is the money? When I first came out, my records would sell based off a physical. If you sold a million copies, that means $9.99, $9 million, you get this percentage. That's what it is.

So if I sell how many streams, how much money do I get? It's not being translated, and it's not working for the artist right now. And I just want to speak to that in the music industry. Like, that's fucked up. And we need to find a way to figure that out. The same way the writers are figuring out, the writers are striking because streaming, they can't get paid. Because when it's on the platform, it's not like in the box office.

And the box office, if it does all these numbers, you may get it up. Oh, it did. Here's another check. But on streaming, you got 300,000 hours. That somebody watched your movie. Where's the money? and I know I'm going off a script right now, but fuck it. This is business.

This is business. You know what I'm saying? This is a room full of business people, and somebody may hear this and be able to do something about it so that way the next artist don't have to struggle or cry or try to figure out how to get to his money. Because some of these artists are streaming millions and millions and millions and millions of fucking streams, and they don't got no millions of dollars in their pocket. So I just wanted to say that. Yeah.

Talk to talk. Yeah, like... I can't get up there. I can't get in front of a bunch of people and talk like that right now just in the position. I'm mad, I can't even really comment on it other than I agree. I agree with him.

Yeah. And is that too as it come from, it's probably a multitude of things, probably being with a label, Spotify, contracting this at the other. Yeah. And for me,

specifically, I have like several different ways, you know, ways to get money off of, you know, radio. That's why that radio singles and radio number one is where music is where music makes the most money. And so it's just going to take time.

And I think that I think something just passed recently where we're actually getting more of a percentage now from Spotify and streams, which is good in the right direction. And I think as time goes on and as more subscribers are in that pool, then the penny looks big. Yeah. But I agree with that, bro, because especially, like, an up-and-coming rapper who doesn't have a deal, but a song's gone crazy on TikTok. And then they're getting like 40 million, you've got 40 million, 50 million streams on a song on Spotify or across streaming platforms. Like, that should be. When you see across streaming platforms, you're talking Spotify, even, even like Instagram, TikTok, like when they're using it like that.

Leave started monetizing, but yeah, like Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, all of the places you can stream music. Yeah, like, if I'm just an up-and-coming kid doesn't have a label and one of my songs that I've uploaded onto my Spotify account takes off and goes crazy and it's on all these playlists and it has 40, 50 million. He's right. That should translate to substantial amount of money in my pocket. It doesn't right now. definitely ain't going if the if four dudes wrote it i get a few hundred bucks fuck man like i just asked my business manager about this yesterday not to talk about my finances but this is like i was like yo what so i had 11 songs on the dangerous album that i wrote

two of them are number ones maybe and then talking about the morgan yeah i got the dangerous album and 11 on the most recent one. Yeah. So just Morgan's songs alone. 22 songs off the last two albums, not including like Heartless and other things. Morgan's songs alone. You got to look.

I mean, U-proof, let's see here. Let's give you an idea. You-Pro go to Morgan's. Are you bringing up at Spotify? Yeah, U-Proof has 306 million streams. Wasted on you. has 414 million streams. One thing at a time, 115 million.

That's two songs are over 700 million. Right. You're at a billion. So, yeah, so that's two songs. You're at a billion. Okay. So I'm, and with all of the songs that I have out streaming, not just Morgan, just every song that I make money as a songwriter on on Spotify.

You're thinking just writing alone. This isn't your... Just as a song right. So the Kane Brown, the Sam Hunt's song, all that stuff. I'll make, I probably make like four grand a month. off of that. So at the end of the day, maybe $55,000 a year off of billions of streams.

Oh my God, bro. Yeah. That is. I mean, even if it is split up to co-writers, you know, like it should be more money. If it was the 90s,

if we were getting paid, like songwriters are getting paid in the 90s, bro, yes. Like, writers just used to be bawling out. Like, if you had 22 album cuts on Barthbrook.

Yeah. you are garc group like it's like it has changed that is changed and that that will it needs to balance out because you know i'm i'm gonna be all right but that's like for sure yeah yeah you're just all somebody that's the only way somebody's gonna be making some money yeah they need to be making more money in that to translate how many times that song has been listened to and let's just let's just say out of and though you those are like three songs that could take up a billion streams let's just say out of that billion labels are getting paid from it that's where the money is The money will get back to the labels.

They're making tons of money. They own masters. Yeah. And which, you know, revert back to the jelly roll episode on here, and he breaks that down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He does a good job breaking that down since he's like an independent guy. Yeah. But let's just say out of that billion on just picking three songs, let's just say a million people bought a CD or an album or a record, whatever it is back in the day.

Like a hard copy, like Walmart. And you even just made 2% off that million. Like. To the moon. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you're. I'm Elon Musk. you're making a lot more than $55,000 a year across all these songs that you're going to

talking with your business manager on yeah be like you know yeah because I was just curious I didn't have it I have my father-in-law asked me that the other day because it is a it is a hot topic right now and he was asking I couldn't answer so I recently just asked ballpark and I was kind of shocked because yeah you look at just those are only two I can see the numbers on that I've written but you're almost to a billion right there on two of them yeah you got to imagine you add the rest of the other 20 up, you're probably on another couple billion. Yeah, exactly.

And I don't know what the fraction is. What's, what's, $55,000 versus $2 billion? What is that? Bring that out. We got to calculate this, dude. Yeah, I mean, you're in the point, I mean, you're in the point zero.

I'm not, you're just, you're giving context of what this industry is like. And it's, yeah, it's, yeah, I didn't think it is all like you're bitching. At the end of the day, that is what it is. Like, when you're performing, you're adding a lot of value. And it's like, man, this stuff is really getting capitalized on. And you know the amount of work and the amount of time you put into something.

You're curious how the business model does look. Yes. I mean, it's like if you're putting in all that work in the industry that you're in and you're only making, let's just say you're making $55,000 a year, just period. Just after all, you're like, okay, maybe I go look at the get in the insurance camera or sell some medical equipment because, you know, let's get. Let's do away with the music. Yeah. No, seriously. but I mean, dude, there's a lot of, there's a lot of, I mean, now I'm a publisher, too.

I have a publishing company, the Cadillite Music, and I got, I'm signing kids to write songs. It's like, I want them to be able to make a living writing songs, even if they don't get a radio single, number one. Like, but if they have a song that pops off, like, my guys need to get paid because the song's popping off. Yeah. It don't matter if radio's picked it up or not. It should get that way, and I think it will, and I'm hopeful that the machine will continue to grow. They'll keep turning in the right direction. Right.

you need guys like Snoop and all these other ways. Like, you know, it's like, it's almost like you need, it's like at times you need quarterbacks and the best players at every position to kind of like, they have the microphone to kind of say those things because they're a little bit more. They can afford to do those types of things. They can afford to step out from a mic. You can piss a few people off. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

And what was that, 55,000 divided by two billion? Look at there. Point zero zero zero zero two seven five. That's like how much you get per stream on a two. billion or two billion streams. That's into make $55,000 a year. That's how many you get per stream. Not good at math, but you do it.

Yeah. We're not good at math, but do it. Yeah. And if that rule comes into effect, how does that change for people who already, who already in the industry? So for your three singles, right, the ones that we just talked about, do they back pay you on that stuff if it changes? Or are you just kind of like, hey, it is what it is starting now?

I don't know the answer. I don't know the answer to that. You're saying if you're saying if the, rule if it changes in the in the future do you end up getting back paid for the i doubt it i doubt it i bet they just bump the percentages up moving forward because ultimately you know what you're getting a lot of money that would be a lot of money to pay on the back end if every rider got paid out on the back end i would just imagine the percentage gets better and you know especially when you're hungry artist early in the like early in the game you're almost just excited because you're getting labels

are going to pay you money you sign on that dotted line you don't necessarily have your head fully wrapped around it because you don't know that you're going to explode the way that you might explode. And then when you look back, that's me. I've had my head down for 10 years. Yeah. Been broke for nine of them, you know? Like, it's like, oh, I looked up, I had a, I had a check from BMI in 2019 for, what's BMI? BMI there who pay out off of all the money. Okay. In the music, there's BMI, ASCAP. There's a couple different, I'm with BMI. And like, I had a check from BMI. You get paid four times a year every quarter. I think it was like 96 bucks. 1,000 and 9. What one of my quarters?

That's awesome, man. Yeah, no, it's insane. I'm trying to be humble about it because it's fucking insane. You are humble. I can tell you're very, like, I don't like talking. I don't like talking about it. I don't like talking about it. I was on Shane's pod yesterday and trying to give him flowers,

and he does so bad. accepting compliments because he's just he's all about making fun of people that think things are cool and all that kind of stuff so you can tell he gets real queasy when i'm serious i'm like bro you're you're doing it man you're crushing it yeah i am pumped i am pumped i mean yeah it's it's great like how hard you've worked bro you just said broke for nine of them like you just got for not like you got some massive house but you got a nice little farm house that you've been able to get into you're building a little farm like you got your little family going like rhyman brought all my good luck for sure because when we got pregnant with riman

I didn't know how the hell we were going to do. We could not afford having a kid when we got pregnant. I was just fucking. Yeah. I said, oh, what are the odds? And then,

oh, my God, we're getting pregnant. You know, and then, and then, you know, literally, I think I,

my first number one was like right around the time Ryman was just about to be born. And that was COVID, like, COVID happened. I had my first three number ones during the shutdown.

So, like, the touring stop, where you're going to make, How world started spinning as soon as the world stopped spinning. And Rhyman came. And then, like, right when Rhyman was born, we picked up touring again. And it's been going ever since.

And it's just like, me and Delaney's day all the time, Rhyman brought really good luck. But Rimon, I owe Rhyman. Rhyman will be fine. You have to keep them connected to the story of what it took. Like, yeah, bro, you should be extremely proud. Like, the sacrifice that goes into, number one, I know how much you tour around. Like, when we've been trying to get you on the pod, You'll be gone because you're out torn around a lot.

You're moving a lot. And with a family and a kid, bro, like, I've, you know, we're kind of the same. Like, I have a 13, 14 month old right now. Like, the times you have to leave your, you have to leave, and those conversations with your wife, you're planning out your schedule. Like, hey, I'm going to be gone for a lot of the year. But, like, you know, now you're getting the taste a little bit of that sweet nectar that you work so hard for. So, like, I, like, I understand the feeling queasy. Like, man, you know, I'm about to drop a number that not a lot of people.

I've gotten to experience yet. But it's like, bro, you've worked so hard for that, man. You work so fucking hard for that. And you should never be ashamed. I'm not ashamed. You should never be ashamed of anything like that. I'm not ashamed. And it's like, it is motivating for me.

It's like, for me, that is not where I'm like, all right, I got it. I'm done at all. Now it's hungry. And it's not greed. It's just like, yo, like, I have been given this opportunity to be a voice. of a generation of music and like whether it be from behind the scenes as a pen or now my own microphone that I'm holding and I want I want to be that example for the kids that are just now getting to town. We're looking down the barrel the next 10 years,

grinding to no ends and just making enough, making whatever their pub draw is like probably 30 grand a year for a few years. You know, and like, there will be light at the end of that tunnel. Yeah. I could do it from working at the donut den barred out at six in the morning to like, to sitting here now talking about necklaces with you. Yeah, you know, man. It can happen.

And it's just not giving up and being relentless with it. Being delusional also. I love the fucking look in your eye about it because it's true. Like, it's inspiring to hear that, like, you know, what's your, the trajectory you're on right now because you have a story that you're so connected to on all of that grind. Like, it's never success isn't microwaved. Right. Like, it's not like you just now got this.

It's not like, it's not like you fucking, you and Morgan Wong were best buds and you're fucking, like, he just sings and you write stuff and you're just like, you're just right there in the back hip pocket, like just making a fuckload of money. Like, you've had to grind. It's like, Hardy, I heard Hardy say we were all broke together and now we got some together. Yeah. That's another, our bond is cool because, like, we were really grinding. We've been grinding.

Yeah. Yeah. It's not an overnight thing. And I think everybody knows that too by now. Overnight stuff can happen here and there like because of TikTok. Yeah. But Craig Wiseman said on my podcast, he said everybody has to pay their dues. Either pay them on the front end or the back end. It's way better to pay them on the front end.

Right. And I totally agree with that. And I pay my dues and God, I'm still paying them. Especially in the artist thing. Like, I'm still on the front quarter of my heart. artist career. Things are going great. I'm getting great show opportunities. Songs are going good. My fan base is growing organically and naturally and like they fuck with Earn. Yeah. There's people that, you know, turn on to Earn just from Instagram and then they realize

I do music and vice versa. You know, I like this song and then they see it's, I'm just a guy. I'm just one of the guys. You're just one of the boys, man. And I think it's always interesting because it's like when you start like getting successful and everything else, like we've all had to so much imposter syndrome that you almost get nervous talking about because a party who feels like am I worthy of this? Is my value really worth this? Am I going to turn some people off saying this? Because maybe I'm not because we've had so much imposter syndrome along the way. I'm bad about that too. Yeah. Real thing. Imposter syndrome. Yeah, it is. Because you're like, like, like you said even earlier,

like we love being fans of all these people. Like, who would have thought back in the day when you're spraying your ankle at a Wiz Khalifa concert here in Nashville? And thinking like, man, How fucking sick would it be? You're like, yo, yo, yeah, Wizz is the man. Like, have you ever met me? Like, oh, this is just another fan. I remember I DM'd Wizz probably, or like Facebook messaged him something when he was in town. Like, yo, like, would love to smoke.

You know? Like, he's getting to see my ass. Yeah. Hey, never saw it. B, if they saw it, it wasn't even him. Yeah. And C, not smoking with you, kid. But then we're in L.A.

And I'm smoking with him at Staples Center with Michael Phelps. He's down in the fucking pit. He's on the picture. It's in the rows. Dark, that's cheesing. That's so crazy, dude. Do you get that picture? Isn't that legendary?

Oh, man. Incredible, man. I just got hard up. My nipples got hard. Yeah, dude. Mine too. It's cool. And I will forever...

My first time on the bus is like a landmark in my mind for when things started. Like, that's a... That's a prominent memory for, like, the beginning. of the next four years of my life after coming on this bus. Because, like, that was right at the very beginning of my artist stuff. And then Kroon was like, we were just getting the stuff started. We were some of that gravel lot. Like, it was a start of even us.

Right. And then I pulled in that gravel lot to get my in-ears. I pull, next time I was back there was when I was getting my ears, whatever, for in-ear monitors. I was like, holy shit, this is the OG bus lot. Now there's like a little thing there where I got my ears. Yeah. Crazy.

but it's always cool to come back and check in because life be changing a lot in between every time I'm on this bus. Every time, and every time we get together, we're like, yo, we got a link more

and then we're trying to like find time to hang and everything else. Your all's fans are all the boy, shout out the boys. Like, you know, like a fucking boy. People would never know who I was if it weren't for this bus

and then they'll see me and they know I'm one of the boys and it's fired. I mean, you've done your thing. Like, it's dope to have a platform to give more,

to give that more because Chandler will come on, or he'll head or he'll say, yeah, people came out to the Vegas name, yeah, I saw you on bustle with the boys. Yeah. But it's just, it's just cool, man. And yeah, the fuck. I've been sparring with Chandler,

getting him ready for his fight. He's going to whip that ass. He's going to whip that ass. I think he's going to shock a lot of people. Dude. That would be hard. Now, Connie McGregor's documentary just came out, and that thing is juicy.

You need to create a Chandler or a documentary. Have you seen the McGregor, McGregor forever? A few. You're like, I'm not about that. I'm not about that shit, dude. Fuck Connor McGregor, dude. No, let me refresh that.

That's me getting behind enemy lines. I'll learn a little bit more about what the buttons are. Yeah, we'll talk about McGregor. We'll talk about McGregor the next time I do this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right now, dude, is Mike Chandler. Yeah. McGregor right now, dude.

What a nice guy, dude. What a, Michael Chandler is one of the nicest humans on Earth. On Earth, bro. I've just recently gotten to know him a little bit. We play golf, and he's a big only use a five iron guy. Dude, he loves the five iron guy. The guy loves the five iron. No matter where you are, he's like, oh, I'm getting the five.

Yeah. Hey, bro, coming to the kids party is like, sorry I can't make it. Be sure you get the five iron out for me, though. I'm like, dude, we're not even golfing. You guys wanting a five iron there. Yeah. Dude, he is just a good soul, man. Way different than when he's inside of that octagon.

Mean in the octagon. Loves a bloodbath. Loves a blood bath. Oh, it's going to be a bloody fight. Either way, bro, it's going to be such a good fight, and it's going to be bloody. I just see. People talk about fighter IQ, like all. all these different techniques and things like that.

Like Mike Chandler's competitive spirit in fight for fighting. He's like a fuck. He is like. Tim Tebow of the UFC. Yes. I believe in this guy right here. Like he is the gladiator, man. Tim Tebow.

He doesn't cuss. He doesn't cuss. Does he not? No, the one, he slipped not too long ago because he was playing bad. We went out to golf. I forget where we went. Golf, okay. Golf will do it, dude.

Because fuck. And I was like, yeah. Brother. Hey, relax. Yeah. We're just, he just kept telling me like, hey, this is the worst I've ever played. I'm like, Mike, I am not good.

Like, you think I give a fuck how you're hitting? Like, if anything, you get to lose balls with me. I don't care. Yeah. He feels bad about being bad at golf. He could kill anyone on the court. He'd kill anyone on the course. That's golf, though, dude.

But yeah, just a nice soul, man. You be playing lately? I played, actually, I only played that one time with Mike and fucking my back. I thought that the rest of the week. Where'd you go out, dude? You go Hermitage? I think it was Hermitage. Yeah.

Yeah. The goats girl out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that by where steeplechase is? No, you, no, you play Harpeth. That's what it is. Yeah, we went to Harpeth. I knew it started with an H.

Yes. But yeah, we were at Harpeth. And then Mike and I were playing, and then it's one of those courses to where if somebody comes out at the right time and it's not a for some, they add people in with you. I hate that.

I hate that, too. I just joined out at Temple Hills. Fortunately, we had a couple, they were... It can be bad, though. It can be bad. We met somebody's like, oh, you met my brother. He was a fullback for Ohio State.

like you guys are just out there for the spring tour. So you kind of had that common. He's like, yo, Michael Chandler? Like, yo, this is the best day of my life. Oh, yeah, they're people pay, you know, five grand to go play with y'all on a scramble. My parents, they go play Harpeth a lot. And they also, they got a spot down in Sparklebury in, like, Fort Myers.

And they play golf all the time. And they get paired up people all the time. And, dude, it's been so funny the last, like, year my dad will call me and be like, well, I mean, you won't believe it. And I'd be like, bet I will. He's like, we were just playing with somebody. And then we got to talking and told him, I'm earnest dad. Like, no way.

You got some fans out of here. It's like, y'all could make it through a round just like not doing that. Yeah. You could make it through it. I'm playing golf after this at Temple Hills. With who? You know Duck? You know Delvin Hodges?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's playing. And then Chandler, not Michael Chandler, my Chandler, Chandler, Chandler's and Rayfe, Tim Penny. You've met Ray. Mitchell's brother. Oh, that's his brother. Yeah.

I don't know if I've met him. I met Doug, though, because Laney came and did bus stop. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Because he was on, was it the Steelers or the Rams at the time? Yeah. Yeah. Good dude.

Shout out Duck, man. But, dude, the getting paired up, like, so at old Hickory, I'll just put myself down on a tea time and get out there and bring somebody with me, no big deal. We're just going to play, too. Don't worry about it. At Temple. you've got to, I like have to just make up a foursome

so that they don't just add two people on there in last minute. Because like, most of the T-times would be like two spots, they'll have like, you know, McGuire, teeing off at 10-10, there's two spots. I was like, I don't know, McGuire, don't want to play with McGuire. Yeah. Not playing golf today. Please know.

It's like, I'm not playing golf. I don't want to do that right now. I don't want to spend six souls getting a no some guy. I'll never see again. Yeah. Or a guy that I'm going to have to see again. Unless you're prepped for it. Like, if it's like a charity event,

you know you're involved in this four-man scramble, which, by the way, I think like... That's different. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. The energy, to scramble. You're ready.

You're just, you're ready for it. You know what you're having to do. I'm trying to go have a low-key round of golf with the fellas. Yeah. And I don't need Jim Jones over here taking... Jim Jones would be sick, but... Okay, Don McGuire.

We're sticking with McGuire. Don McGuire. He's like, Don Trump. Don Trump. Standing over his ball for 50 seconds. to shank one. It's like, dude, hey, I'm getting up there. I'm stoned.

I'm taking no time. If the ball goes to Jehovah's Witness Center over here, I don't care. Grabbing a new ball. Grabbing a new ball. I'm asking somebody. You got a new ball. I really didn't get to get the line. I'm going to borrow tea.

Stogies and bogeys. That was a disaster. A long day, but it was a good day. It was a great day. You kind of saw the production. has to go into it. And it's kind of like, man, we should have only played like four holes.

Yeah. Played nine holes with Will and Jelly. Jelly's not bad, by the way. He's not. And we had a lot of, we had a lot of, we had a lot of, drinking and cigars and talking.

We were out there for 12 hours. Because we were looking at doing like a Stoge's and Bogie segment, similar to like all those golfing, that golf content that's out there, like on YouTube and do that growing thing. bully you with tequila, bro. Jelly's the nicest guy ever until

he's trying to get you a drink tequila. It's like, Bubba. Bubba. I bought some tequila? You're going to drink this tequila? It was like, glug, look, look, look, look, look, look. It's like, hey, man, it's not a shot.

Me and Johnny McGuire. whoever. No, I mean, who would be a good scramble with us? Honestly, we should get like two scrambles going on. I think that's the best because you need some shit talking against somebody else. Have like two foursomes

going and then, you know, meet at the turn. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Talk about where you're at on the scorecard. Yeah, decide if you're going to go play the back nine. Yeah. I'm not an 18-hole guy. I am not, dude. I'm good for 15. Not me, bro. Like, I'm fighting to get the nine. Oh, yeah.

I'm nine is like right about so like if let's say I start off the three holes first three holes I'm like fine like our bogie golf then four five six starts to get shaky and then seven eight nine I'm kind of bringing it back I've made a couple good shots at least on one hole you brought it back and then so then by that then we're on nine it's like I can smell blood so I'll do I'll get 10 11 12 and then it's like oh it's going downhill so fast 13 14 still going going downhill. 15. I'm drunk. I got to go. Three more holes. You guys ready to go? Yeah, you guys ready to go? This one? We're close to the clubhouse. My partner's like, actually, I'm even through 15. It's like, okay, well, I'm leaving after 50. You like, see the

parking lot inside. You're like, hey, this next hole, should this be our last one? Don't even tell him. Just where did Earn go? I'm going to go grab something out of my truck. Hey, the wife called. She needs me home. I'm a big, go get the car, leave the cart where the car was, guy. And people probably hate it. Oh, that's not, you got to take the car back. But what I do hate doing is like cleaning out the trash. I always feel like I do. Yastodon's take it back. Do you feel like you do?

I guess so. Do you don't have to? Probably should. You probably should, but if you ride with somebody... If you're playing at No Mead Country Club, I'm taking the cart back. I'm playing at Odunk Country Club. Harpeth. I'm drowning. I'm drowning the cart.

Hey, it's out there in the water. Yeah, I'm taking this cart home with me. Thank you guys. I want to get my own golf cart for Temple Hills. Where can we go next? Because I do want to do with Earn. I want to do shout-out, no-free shout-out. Yeah, we should do the family guy.

Before we get in the family guy, you did have a tweet recently. We'll do this for the music, and then we'll get off and transition in all the bunch of pet peeve of the week. Shout-out no-free shout-out, fucking all that kind of stuff. And our family guy episode, that you had a mastermind concept, by the way. Your recent tweet, next album, Fidna B Different. Be Different, yeah. Tell us about that.

Elaborate. Yeah, so are we talking, are we talking? Are we talking when we were on the couch that one time? No. Pause. No. When we were coming over the house? Yeah, we were on the couch that one time, fooling around.

Little Tom Fooling around? We were on Taylor's couch. Oh, yeah. When we were on Taylor's couch? You were kind of showing us some tunes? That, no, that will not be on this album, but we're talking. He's talking about depends on the year, if you know, you know. This next.

Well, it's not. No, I've talked about it on my podcast and play. like serotonin, but that was like a year and a half ago. Okay. There was time and place, that shit will come out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This next album, I basically, so the flower shops era for me was like all strictly traditional country music, which that will continue into this next album.

But I'm going to be sprinkling in some songs that I would probably have normally given away to other artists, like specifically like not kept on flower shops. because it didn't fit the aesthetic of flower shops, the album. And this next one, like, I've already posted it clearly that hanging on song. Like, I'm not going to be afraid to have a couple songs on there that just are, like, a little more smacker, banger vibes or, like, a little more modern sounding. But I've also got, I mean, it'll probably be 20 songs or something like that, because I've got several that are super tradition.

I got this one song called Dollar to Cash. It's like, give my last paycheck to paycheck and give my last dollar to cash. like it's an old school country song this one called Bars on My Heart Old School Country song So if you loved that about flower shops I'm not abandoning that song Or that sound

I'm just adding some shit that I've always had in my bag That I've given away And I've like I ignored that part of my bag For my own artistry But on this next project I'm gonna dig deeper in my bag

And like nobody's gonna really be able If you don't know me you could probably hear some stuff and be like, he switched up. We're like, what happened to this? Like, no, bro. No, I've been doing this shit. I've just been not putting it out. You know what I mean?

Is that a timing thing? It's like now you feel like the right mix is coming up, whether it be with popularity and everything else where you're like, I think it's also like having a lot of shows under my belt now knowing what my fans, like what those moments feel like in my show, like when I play it like when I have you know when we now we have long live cowgirls song like I can have something like that in my set that's mine that wasn't a Morgan song these can be my songs now yeah and it's like my fans are

gonna rock with me regardless but I for the naysayers or people that come on is like he switched up I did not switch up I took a break from doing this originally to keep it extremely country to build the brand that I want for longevity which is to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry and die doing country music. But I might throw some of my fucking 808s in there this year. You know what I say? Like I might get... Your little Grand Ole Opry line juice me up a little bit.

Yeah, that's my... That's a childhood dream. I want to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry one day. And, like, when I'm with the Opry band, like, I won't go play the... If it's got 808 in it, I ain't playing it at the opera. It ain't for the Opry. That's...

And I'm not going to make the opera band fight their teeth and try to play something that ain't fucking... for the Opry. When I went in and cut the entire Flower Shop's album, it was going through, in my mind, and Joey Moy's mind, the Opry filter, the Opry band filter in our heads. And it translates because when we show up to the Opry, the Opry band, they love playing our stuff because, you know, these guys, 50, 60 years old, and they signed up, they probably dream, their dream, I want to be in the Opry band. Why? Because it's traditional country music, and this is why I signed up for. And a lot of times, that's not what they're asked to play.

at the Grand Ole Opry. They're having to play stuff that isn't what they signed up for. So my gift to the opera band is we're going to play some country music when I'm coming through the Opry for the rest of my life. That's what the Opry's for. And I love that. And I think, too, like anybody who's like a real fan of yours loves when you're showing off all of your range,

like dipping your toe into all these other genres. It's just about to pot like Moscato. About to hit the mule. I like the lotto. Life been kind of Rocky, no Apollo. I'm going to be the leader, watch and follow. There's plenty bad bitches, but their heads all hollow, hello, hey what up, let's kick it. Break her off like a kick cat, quadruple flip and stick it.

I'm about to get that swerving, and then I switch back. All four lanes on the highway is my way, so stay in your driveway because this, that deep fried chicken with some turnip green shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No longer you, it's no longer us. Just me in this bar still collecting bar dust.

in love again And all of my friends say It's a good place to start Is it a quarter past two Once it ain't you It's just bars on my heart Do some emo The

The uh It's gonna be a phenomenal cut up Serotonin, let's see Oh, I'll just make up to me I can't remember the Unless there's an emo song you love just fucking hit that. Hey there.

I know it's hard feel. I don't care at all. Fast these lights turn as these wheels. What is it? I cut my wrists in black my eyes. Cut my wrists and black my eyes. So I can't fall asleep tonight. Or die.

Degu. Because you kill me. You know you do. You kill me well. You like it too. And die. You never stop until. Final breath is gone.

Spare me just. I got three last words. I love, yeah, fucking Hawthorne Heights, dog. About that line. I put a couple scars on me a middle school dog. I put a couple scars on me, dog. Where's Ernie? He's in the bathroom.

Is anybody know what he's doing in there? Now I'm getting cut. I used to just be cut. One of those, like, and then you get out and you're kind of showing it. You're showing a couple of your friends probably. Just a little light scissor cut, never going to do any damage. Just let him know I'm back. that line.

Just to get the friends talking like... Oh, you think I'm just listening to Under oath. You know what? He don't run's cutting himself now, right? Yeah. You know, by talking dramatically about it? Yeah. I think we need to have an intervention.

He's 28. Yeah. He's 28. These tattoos cover up several cigarette scars, but not all of them. I've got... Oh, yeah, dude. Act the dots up here. I used to put cigarettes out of myself.

Yeah, think about the, uh, think about the clip. He just gets to go from rapping country emo. What else we got? What else is there? I don't know, man. That's about it. You got anything, G? I know you're a fucking... Have him do something else, man.

We got Earn here. Make him perform. Yeah. Make him fucking... Man, motherfucker, dude. You've heard of Burt Crasher? Oh, brother, who hasn't? Standard comedian known as The Machine.

This month, Sony has given us a new must-see movie to kick off Summer starring Bert himself. Based on the outrageous true story-ish, as a true story ish of burt Kreischer that blew up on the internet the movie picks up 23 years later after the iconic story from bert's signature set his true experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze-soaked college trip and that trip from college has come back to haunt burnt why am i talking like this burnt burnt that trip from college has come back to haunt bert hey dude that trip from college has come back to haunt bert and his a strange father played by the legendary Mark Hamill.

Or Luke Skywalker. Gotta know it. Our kidnap back to Russia by the mob to atone for something they say he did. Together, Byrne and his father must retrace the steps. Him and his father, all they got to do, they got to retrace the steps of his younger self played by hilarious Jimmy Taitro in the midst of a war within a sociopathic crime family, all while attempting to find common ground in their often fraught relationship. I'm definitely watching it.

Eric Kreiser is the man, the myth, and the machine. What a, what a white guy. What a white guy saying right there. Hey, the man, the myth, the legend. Yeah, dude. Let's change the legend to the machine. The machine. There it is.

Get your tickets now. The machine is now playing rated R. All right. Family guy. Let's fucking. So that one, if you guys watched the last episode was, well, Jelly was on here too, right? Yeah.

We talked about a South Park episode that we could create that involved. Antonio Brown, Tom Brady and Giselle. Yeah. And, yeah, it's me. It's me. It's me. Tom Brady, seven-time Super Bowl chance. Because we called it back to, what's her name that got? It was going to be a trade. The bad trade between America and. We'll give you Brittany Griner back if we can get Tom Brady onto the Patriots again.

Yes, yes. But the only reason he wanted to go back to New England was to get back with Giselle. Everybody's celebrating and parading that Tom Brady's coming back home. He goes right past the parade. He's driving like in a little sonata or something. He's like, Giselle, Giselle. Me, Tom Brady, seven times. A, B. Antonio Brown, poking out of the window. They have the top window.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we're making fun of, like, the war room kind of calling it to the draft room. You know, a lot of, how the figures kind of waddle and move sideways. Like, trade them this for this. All the massive situation room TVs are just the draft. Yeah, bro. That was our South Park concept. Earn called me.

I was actually sitting in the parking lot. Earn called me. He said, hey, you got a minute. I got this, I got a family guy idea. Yeah, I was walking around Bellevue Publix. walking workshop in this. I'm pushing the cart. I'm sure people are like,

this guy's off his rocker. Let me give a little context to how we started this. Yes. I started thinking about Jesus. I was talking with Shay Mooney, something about Jesus being good at golf.

I don't know how I got there. I was like, Jesus is probably not good at something. And then I was thinking about the realistic Jesus resurrection moment of like, you know, this man really escaped.

taped a tomb. And then I was like, how could that be in? I was like, yeah, he's like the first magician. And then it was like, you know, I like had a had this vision. And when I think in bits, family guys, the first one, like I can conceptualize bits really well when putting it in family guy in my head. So like I see like,

I saw this scene of like Jesus doing the Houdini like escaping water. Right? Like tied up and he's outside of the thing. And then so then I was all right. So let's take it back to the beginning. The episode, would kick off. And you've got, you've got the Griffin family is,

so you got Peter. Because there's a Jesus character and family guy. Yeah, but he's not, so Jesus throughout this episode is just Stewie with a beard in Jesus garb. Yeah.

Joseph is Peter. Mary is Lois. Okay, so the episode starts with Peter coming home early. And Wagmire is like the neighbor. Yeah.

Getting out of bed with Lois because Peter comes home early and jumps out. Virgin Mary. Virgin Mary, who obviously got knocked up by Quagmire. And so then, you know, you got the nativity scene. Jesus is born. Boom, boom, boom. Let's just thinking this, quagmire's definitely one of the three fucking wife. He's always been giving gifts. Keeping an eye on Lois like, hey, or Mary, have you seen anything yet? Like, no, no, no. He's still think I'm a virgin. He's so beautiful. So there's that. So then you so you got, all right, Jesus is born. It's Stewie. fast forward, then like you've got

Jesus at like 13 at the lunch table like doing card tricks and the kids' minds are just blown, right? Yeah, he's like, oh, the first magic trick Jesus ever would do you know the family guy doctor the guy that's like, I have some terrible news. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So they go see the baby doctor and Jesus does, got your nose. He's like, wait, wait, wait, give me that. He's like running around the fucking, yeah, running around the room. Yeah, no, no, no. Hides in the fire truck or something. So he learns the art of, magic and or the trick and deceit.

So then he's, you know, doing the, doing the cars. It's like, Jesus, do the trick. Do the one. And so then it's like Jesus at 27. And then you see like, you see this little motorboat going off into a sunset. And it's got two figures. And one of them's clearly Jesus from the back. And the other one you don't know. And you just hear right here's perfect.

And he goes side profile and it's Chris Angel. Like Bible Chris Angel next to Jesus. And he goes, he goes, I think this is going to work really well for you. He goes, we've got six, like, he's got, like, we got six, like, little clear cubes just a half inch under the surface. Because you can see some of Chris Angels' tricks, like on fucking YouTube. Yeah. So, so he's teaching Jesus the walk on water bit. Yeah.

And then you've got, obviously, you can, you can throw as many in there as you want. You can do the water to wine, all that, right? Water to wine was another one. Like, basically everything you're seeing that, you know, could be. looked at as a magic trick if you fucked with it enough comedy-wise. He's got his guy like, yo, pick up your mat and walk. And it was like, and then like, you see like a quick little exchange of a $50 bill to the guy, to the coin. It's like, wait, weren't you the same?

Hey, wait, that's the same guy that was blind last week. Like, you know, like people, some people are catching on. So then it's like. But remember, we were talking it through and. Get to the end. Yeah, but to get to the end. But there's some context. Like Chris Angel at that time, Chris Angel is somebody who's passed through time as a time travel.

Chris Angel is actually forever 33 years. You know, like Chris. Forever that way. But also at this moment in time, he's Judas. Because he gets so jealous of Jesus, this is down the episode. Remember, he gets jealous and gets him, you know, gets him killed and everything else. Yeah, because at the time when they're translating everything, they can only write it on rock. Right.

So whenever he's walking on water, changing water to Ryan, water to wine, the witness, the witnesses to all of it, they're only able to write this rock. And basically, Chris Angel, Judas, and Jesus, they're able to essentially con. the Jesus legend has grown. Yeah, okay. So you can fit in as Seth McFarlane. We can fit in as many as you want in there. There's endless scenarios you can play there. But the end is modern day.

And Chris Angel is a bum in the streets of Vegas going around, being like, no, I taught Jesus everything he knows. I'm the real Jesus. I'm Jesus Christ. And like, like, he's like, he's the end of Christ. He's like snapping his fingers. People's Desanis are turning to wine. They're like, yeah. Right. This is Jesus' joke.

What a bum. Yeah, what a bum. And Chris, he's like, no, no, I'm sure. He's just cashing weekly chat or like, you know, a check just for work. Yeah. Man, I knew I should have. Yeah. Because remember, we're right.

You're just a crackhead. You're like, you bum. Something at him. It's him in the head. Throw some Team America in there because. How do you think I got my name? Chris Angel. I'm an angel.

But when he decides to turn on Jesus because Jesus is getting so much credit, It's like thinking like, hey, you know, I've kind of written these bits for you. Yeah. And Jesus kind of, whatever it is, kind of silences him whatever, we can write up in there. But that's when, because Judas turns his back on Jesus, he ends up getting nailed to the cross. And it's like, you know, Jesus dies in like three days. He's like a human being, basically. And it's like, well, what the fuck?

I thought he's going to, like, live through this. Yeah. Because I think he's superhuman, not knowing that he's just doing all these magic tricks with Chris Angel, Judas at the time. And unfortunately, we could write in that. like his curse, Judas' curse is that he has to be the same age and live over time. Yeah, he never dies. He never dies. He's just fucking in this modern day scenario.

I was the original. He's like Forrest Gump. He's at every major event throughout history. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, dude, if anybody is watching this and just wants to scoot this over to Seth McFarland or tag him in it, and Seth Ruffling doesn't even care, bro. Oh, I'm going to be honest.

When we got done with that, I was like, dude, That is such a funny just episode of humor about... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you can tie in a lot of things. It's like when Chris Angel's modern day, then you can call back, like when everybody out there's feeling, whether it's a little uptight or queasy

about like making fun of Jesus and all these Bible stories, you can call back to the modern day Chris Angel to where all the people in the streets are just yelling and pissed off that he's like... The actual family guy, Jesus that we use is one of the people calling Chris Angel a fraud. He's a fraud.

He's a fraud. No, no, I'm... Jesus. It's like, you guys are, yeah, dude, because Vegas is full of people claiming to be Jesus. Yes, yes, dude. Oh, my God. So I think it could be really funny.

Obviously, a little fucking nut sack religious, but it's all good. Yeah, yeah, like, that's one episode. Family guy. Yeah, we're talking about, we're talking about humor and, like, writing up stuff like that. I think that is fucking hilarious. It makes me so happy to come up with bits and think about stuff like that. No. I love that you call.

I love that you call. You got a family guy, like, how can we piece this thing together? Yeah. I was like, bro, that is brilliant. Like each scene, then you start filling the gap. You can see it. That's the, that's the, the pro and the con is. You came up with the South Park one at the high level.

Just like, you can see it in your head, and you know it can be made. Yeah. Just has to be made. Like, you could voice all the characters. You know, like, you could run. You got so many opportunities. Like, Meg could be at the well with, like, the prostitutes. You know, Jesus is kicking it.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Jesus was a slimy guy. So when he's like 22, when he's young Jesus and he's dealing with everything else, he comes up with his verses of saying, like, Jesus never sits with the good and the healthy, he sits with the sick taxpayers. But that's just so he can do his dirty work and do all the cards and everything else. He's like, he's kicking it with all the prostitutes of the thing, like,

sitting game, and then like somebody sees it and he just starts like, like, and you, and he without sin cast the first, like, he's over here with the fellows rolling dice and shit, but then like somebody starts saying something, he starts drawing in the dirt doing the jelly roll business. Yeah. And you without sin, cast the person. That's his only, that's his only comeback.

Yeah, he uses it all the time. I thought you were supposed to be and then he just drops a fucking bar on him. Yeah. I love how we both just let up and figured out. Oh yeah, he was,

he was like, he's like the used car salesman. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Type of guy. He's able to surround himself and fucking this slime. So funny, bro. Hey, that, that needs to be done.

Oh. How do we do that? We got to. Get somebody to animate it, too. Yeah. Yeah, but man, think of it was truly like, because we think the family guy, the family guy platform, like, listen,

have that. What you want to see it just come to life? We'll put this out so we can tag Seth. Yeah, Seth, and maybe we got to figure out who some writers are, who might have an end. Yeah, we can do some recon because, you know, they got a massive team. And, bro, they take fan submission episodes. They make them.

That is it. Like, that is a fucking good one. Yes. Yes, man. But that would have been like. It just takes those, and then we're in. That window. I know because Southburg does such a good job of being up to date with some of those things

and that one was such good timing. That was great timing. That window probably passed, right? Passed for sure. Maybe. Yeah. Hmm. She did.

You could do one on, uh, seven times supermodal. Come back and put his family back together. Yeah. What you got to do is do one on, uh, on him buying the Raiders, buying partnership into the Raiders now. I'll be thinking. Yeah. I'll probably take a little victory lap after this and come up with something decent. Hey, I think I got something.

Where are you at? Based on, like, because you know, the tuck rule and everything like that against the Raiders. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. I did not think about that. Wow. I thought you had fucking football IQ. No, brother.

I told you my dial-up internet over here. Oh, yeah. Somebody said something. I'm like, oh, wow, yeah. Dude, you ever going to coach? I don't know if this falls through at some point in time. Who knows? No, bro, watching you give the speech to that team.

Arizona State. Got me so fired up. And it's like, bro. Honestly, I know you're bullshiting, but I'd be the same way. If I bullshit a character and dial it so much, you're on, you were on your Denzel, dog. Like, you were on your Denzel, you were goading in front of those. I appreciate that. Goating in front of them boys, dog, like.

Dude, before this, like, yeah, like, when I was done with, if I was going to be done with football, I was going to train, I was going to get into coaching immediately. But podcasting, you're saying if this falls through. Yeah, if, like, say one day, if like, you know, I don't know when sometime in the future and then I just get the edge, like, you know, I want to get to. into coaching now. Yeah. Have you been... Just for fun because the whole thing, the whole thing with this is like, it's so awesome that we've been able to create this platform because if I transition into coaching, you're now needing to work for that job. Right. So you'll always be like

trying to play that political game of climbing the ladder and being a coach one day, right? And being around the right crew of people and move in the family. And like, if I, I would love to get to the point to where it's like, man, I just want to coach now because I feel like I'm where I want to be financially all these things to where it's just like, I don't, I don't have to take a job. defensive coordinator job at Lipscomb. Right, right, right, and climb the ladder that way. Because my agent, he reps a lot of coaches and even GMs too. And he's like a conversation he had when I was, you know, basically talking to him about being done.

He was like, how fast you think you can fast track into being a coordinator. And I was like, I think fairly quickly just I guess I need to be in the rooms and kind of figure out the operation of how everything goes down. But, uh, but yeah, I was fired up to do that speech. Oh, bro, it was great. I was fired up to do that speech. It was great. I can talk about drink their beer and take their, women showing four quarters of fuck you.

Yeah, that was the one I was like, yo. Hey, I don't even get, dude, I'm about to smoke four quarters of fuck you. Hey, that's, yeah, bro. I mean, dude, if Compton was my coach, like, you, you, I mean, you got this. Don't, don't worry about it. But I think, yeah, locker room, camaraderie, like, I would want to play really well for you. After, after getting talked on like that, for sure. Would I make you want to quit smoking?

No. He's like, man, I want to play for you so fucking well. Yeah, dude, I think you'd make me quit smoking. My seventh grade football coach, Coach Temple, shout out Coach Temple. He tells this story. I don't remember it, but I believe it. He was like chewing our ass hard one night at halftime. I'm an idiot, bro.

I think I went up to him after him. I was like, nobody going to like process him. can see what's so funny as I can see you being that way too, bro. I was like, bro, just talk at us. You're just losing your mind

spitting and then like, ain't nobody. Talk to us. Yeah, just talk to us, man. One time, eighth grade,

he was our middle school football coach, eighth grade. And now his son will, love that you had that. His son Will Temple and mental and middle school coach now. I was a half back and I had like had like

three solid runs back to back to back. And I get tackled on our, our, like, 20-yard line right in front of our side line. And the referee was like, I didn't, I wasn't wearing my fucking hip garter and tail, I just wasn't. Yeah. It's annoying. Because back then, it was like still the belt.

You had to loop all your pad, your hip pad, your tailbone pad and everything into the fucking pants. I had my compression shorts on. Yeah. Good to go. And anyways, the referee, like, I would have probably gotten the ball again on a sweep or something because I'd, I'd taken it down the field. and

referee's like no hip pads you got to find some hip pads coach temple was out of his gourd upset immediately and he never cut like I never heard this man cuss at us ever and he comes over to me gets me by the bag he goes you bastard

and I like about shit he's like you bastard I'm taking shout out Corey Woodruff I made him give up his fucking hip pads and I'm getting in there and think give me those yeah so after the game trying to get back out there and getting out there immediately. And after the game, we were playing station camp. Anyways, we're walking out.

Everybody's shake hands. I'm walking back to the sideline. And I've known Coach Temple my whole life. That's why I felt like I'd, like, talk to him a different way. That makes sense. We had a good relationship. We had a good relationship. And we're walking back to the sidelines.

I'm sorry for yelling at shit. And I go, it's all good. I was like, I ain't going to tell nobody you called me a bastard. and he goes, what, what did you say I said? I go, you called me, you called me a bastard on the sidelines 40 minutes ago. I would never say that. I would never say that. I can't believe you said I would say that.

I'm like, oh, you're tripping, dog. Coach Temple, to this day, my brother, you called me a bastard and it's fire. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. You got to coach hard at times. I was a little bastard. I still am.

But like, don't back up off of that. Don't think of all the domino. effective in somebody, you know, he called me a bastard. I'm not going to tell my mom. The parents going on strike. We need this coach out of here. Yeah, no. The man called me a bastard.

I thought that was awesome. The coach is all fucking good. You got to get verbally abused. Matter at me saying it's all right that you called me a bastard than he did about the hip pads that caused him to call me a bastard. You have to get verbally abused on the football field, especially when you're young, man. Yes, bro.

Please. These bastard kids don't know? They don't fucking know. And people are getting so soft, bro. You got to give him direction. Like when, like, Like our boy flipping out on our boy, Dilfer. You saw the clip of Dilfer?

Oh, yeah. Losing it on our boy. That's a little more than verbal abuse, but also they had a tight relationship. Yeah. Dude's dad played with Brable. So, like, or not Brable. Dilfer. Dilfer had seen the kid grow up.

Yeah. And I'm sure in that scenario, at that point, Tom, dude had probably lipped or flipped his helmet or something. and Dilfer's a hot head and knows his dad and seeing this kid grow up so probably just overstepped the I'll take care of this

for. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I'll be just son your ass real quick. And like I saw that and it fired me up to see that hey, no, sit down, sit down, sit down. Like dominated that kid for a second.

Yeah, dog. I thought that was a swing on him. I didn't hit him. It is easy, brother. No, I thought it was awesome. And what I hated was how much shit he called. I know Dill forgot was hot and cold as far as the relationship with Lipscomb, but I didn't see a problem with that. But you know how it is when things go viral on the internet.

Yeah. People aren't used to that kind of stuff. I mean, our head coach in Nebraska is Bo Polini. You type in Bo Polini fucking outburst, and there's shitload of YouTube videos there. Yeah. Like, you were verbally abused. Like, I could tie me with a fucking sundial. Like, oh, I thought this.

Like, no, you're just fucking stupid. Yeah. Getting punched in the chest, fucking tobacco, spit in my mouth. That was his brother. You get coach fucking hard, man. Smacked in your face mask. Yeah. Type in Bo Polini mad and just bring up the images.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Kids are really like going to be bred to be soft. I mean, look, just Bo Polini flipped. Go to those first three photos. Yeah, losing it. Just losing his fucking mind. I mean, he's calling referees. Like, dude, it was.

I remember when his brother, like, fought somebody after the Texas A&M game, I think it was a camera guy because he had a camera. He's like, get that fucking camera. They were just so mad. And they would, like, black out. They almost wouldn't even remember the next day or they did. They're just like, I got a feeling they've got mafia in their blood. Yeah. They grew up in Youngstown, Ohio. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, dude. It's like they grew up in Youngstown, Ohio.

Coach football or go work for the dumpster company. Yeah. Let sling drugs on the low. Yes, bro. Yeah. Like he got, they just fucking. Be white knuckle sally up. Look, go to that, go to that third row in that middle one. Like, imagine being a referee, bro. It never helped us out. No, no. Look at that. Look at this big coming out. He like swings his hat and almost hits the referee in the face. Tough day to be a referee.

Yeah. You always, I'm sure the referees hated officiating with Coach Bo on the field. Yeah. Yeah. But he's like, don't you fucking touch me? And it's like, brother. Take it easy. Yeah, you saw that when Sark put his hands on that, uh, that dude in the tunnel before a game.

Oh. Look at it. He's in the old boy's face. He's the guy. is a TV guy who's coordinating when they can run out of the tunnel or not. Oh, I did see this. Sark was just kind of standing there. The guy was just standing next to me and kind of touched him.

He's like, don't put your look like he, don't put your fucking hands on me. I saw that. I saw that. And we interviewed him. Fun dude. Good guy. Yeah, cool guy. Somebody, it seems like, you know, I'd want to play for this guy.

But just these coaches, they just, I mean, you just get fucking, you're just seeing red, ready to absolutely go to war. I think Dilfer was so polar opposite at Lipscomb than what we grew up with with Coach Mack, who was an old school traditional coach, still get in your ass, always using euphanus, like, you know, he was old school country coach. Yeah. And then you got Dilfer who came in and, like, through all the tradition, my program, we're going to run it like an NCAA college football program.

Which I went to a couple of their practices because Taylor and I would work over at Lipscomb a couple of times, but they were running practice. And he was running at like a college program, a college and NFL, like, periods. seven-on-seven. Like, they're moving, jogging, like, which I-operation is high. There's a lot of the, a lot of the former players and stuff, Delta type of way because they feel like what they built just didn't get respected at all. I get that to some extent.

My dad, luckily, the baseball coach and the baseball program is in great hands, and they've been very, you know, they named the field after my dad. They've been great about all that. And they got McCadams, like, named after Coach Mack, the Macs Center. But I think Dilfer came in so hot. It scared the shit out of the parents whose kids were in middle school. And now, you know, they grew up thinking it was about to be one thing. And then Dilfer and your kids aren't playing.

I'm bringing in everybody. Bringing in my luggage. Yeah, dude. Louis. Yeah, Louie. And CPA used to be a problem for us. And CPA has just gotten beat to smithereens every time we've played them in the last three years. We would be, I think we, in the last two championship games against him,

I think the score was like 80 something to nothing. Like it was like insane. We beat them. There's probably that stat. Lipscomb, CBA, 42 to zero in the state championship game dog. So where are you at Brentwood? Yeah, CPA, like the CPA Lipscomb games have all, and basketball. Those were always like the big games.

Before that, it was Lipscomb Good Paster. But y'all were probably Brintwood, Ravenwood, those games were probably lit. I mean, at the end of the day, you're building culture. And there's always, like, literally every year, there's always going to be learning experience. It's not like every coach, strength coach, whatever, feels like they always haven't figured out.

You're going to have learning moments. Everybody slips and be like, okay, I could have done that differently. You know, when you're, when you're... He was prepping himself to go exactly where he's at now. He was, we're talking about. He was, he's starting his climb back to... Yeah, yeah. And at the end of day, like, you know, of course,

when things go viral like that, everybody's going to have an opinion. and you know about it because you're armchair coaching at that point. And you can see things a lot more clearly. And you're sitting, you know, you're sitting in AC and everything else. You're not in the heat of that moment. Absolutely. You're able to look back on something.

Yeah, of course I could handle that differently. Like, maybe you have a conversation, you're having a conversation by, hey, I just want to make sure we're on the same page. And the outside noise is still going to be the outside noise. Right. That's the whole point of, like, sports. Like, I'm not saying that's the whole point of sports, but that's like the growing pains in sport.

Like when you're around each other all year around and you're trying to build culture and everything else. and you have some moments that you slip, but that's the beauty in sporting competition. I think that was a good moment for the kid and Dilfer, probably. Like, bro, you got to get yelled at in life as a kid. In a team environment, have somebody, have an authoritative figure get in your ass because they love you.

Absolutely. And like, it's not your, like, it's not at your house. Like, it's not your dad or your mom. Right. Like, it's before the real world. That was happening daily. Yeah. Yeah.

Now everyone just sees. it. Yeah. Yeah. And everybody's going to, it's always seem bigger than it actually is. Yeah.

But you keep everything, like you still, you know, on the internal side of everything and you're having the communication with, thank you. I appreciate that. Butcher knife slipped through a potato

and I cut half of my fucking nail bleeding everywhere. It really doesn't feel that bad though. It feels on the front. You know, you can just... What was it? Two days ago?

It was at home, too. The wife was out of town, so Roo's fucking crying. I want me to pick her up. You know how that shit goes, dude. Don't complain. No.

It didn't even fucking. Yeah. But have nothing. Nothing, nothing. Don't worry about it. Yeah, I bled everywhere. She was cleaning off blood from the cabinets, the fridge, down by the floor and everything else.

I was like, I'm sorry about it. I didn't see it. Like, I'm trying to fucking, trying to make some lunch at the little one. Yeah. Damn, if you do, damn you don't. Yeah. You're trying to fucking, you know, stop the bleeding.

I'm sitting on the floor next to Roo because she wants me to pick her up. My sweetheart, Daddy cannot pick you up right now. I'm fucking, it's not. It won't stop bleeding. But I appreciate you seeing that me working through this pain. once again, always battling. Should we do shout-out? No Free Shout-out?

Back to the episode. Back to the episode. Back to the episode. You want to talk about his tweet about mentioning that he would, uh, he would, uh, he would trade Derek Henry just to see him win a Super Bowl?

Yeah? I mean. That was back in the headlines when it was like a topic of potentially trading Derek Henry. I don't know if those rumors are still circulating. Look, I want Derek Henry on the Titans. I think what I was saying, though, is I've never actually gotten to know, Derek. We've met a couple times. It would just suck for him to not have a Super Bowl and be as elite back as he did.

I was just saying, be part of a team that could make that chase for... I would be willing to let him go as a Titans fan to see him win a Super Bowl with a team that he can win a Super Bowl with because the window for that is not as big as it was three years ago. Yeah. So, fuck yeah, I want a Titan Super Bowl. I would love that. And it will happen eventually.

But I want Derek Henry to win a Super Bowl. But if we can do that together, then by God, then made the stars align. Yeah. That's all I meant by that tweet. I just... Because you feel... Damn good of a fucking running back

to not have a piece of hardware. Seems like you feel like the boys in Tennessee are in a rebuild. Don't you? I'm just trying to get that out of you. Yeah. Yeah, we're rebuilding. Seems like you're saying Tennessee's not going to win the Super Bowl,

and it's care of a comment? Well, then this would be the one year we do because every year I'm like Titans are winning the Super Bowl. Yeah, I know. I know. You just hate seeing, especially the last few years when they had that window with the right... The right firepower.

Three years ago. And injuries, dude, injuries and just everything not aligning. That's the game, man. Like, I feel like everybody, you know, we're in the offseason now, so everybody's winning the Super Bowl. 2019, we went to Baltimore and won. I thought we were going to win the Super Bowl.

After stopping the dynasty, you're beating the dynasty at Tom Brady in New England. Because it's when you get hot matters. When you get hot matters. And we got hot at the perfect time. 9 and 7 regular season just on that back end, making the push. Back in heat matters. Yeah, I mean, dude, maybe, maybe I'm crazy.

Maybe we're going to come out hot. Everybody's, you know, that's why you play the game. Why you play the game? You never know. Because the next year, we were 11 and 5 when we were the... And it didn't feel like a better season. Yeah, and we got bounced by the fucking Ravens. At home.

We might have been the two or three seed then, because I don't think we were the one seat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We had a home game. And we got bounced by the Ravens, who we beat earlier in the year. And it was kind of like, I remember it wasn't until in the middle of the fourth quarter.

I was like, we really might lose this game. because we were down most of the game, but I never at any moment thought we weren't going to win because I felt like we were clicking. We were firing on all cylinders. And even when we had injuries, the team always seemed to overcome it. Because that was the year the old line was banged up.

Taylor Tours ACL. Something else had happened, but Derek still ran for 2,000 yards because he went off in Houston when he needed like, what was it, 170 to get to 2,000? We got like 240. Yeah, bro. And he, like, you just felt like, oh, man, we're going to,

we can go deep, boys. We got bounced by the Ravens, which fucking suck. They danced on the field. Yeah, yeah, I know, danced on the, dance on the field. Crazy you let that happen. Doing the, I know crazy you let that. I know how I would have handled it. Yeah.

I was just there, like, just walking. I just couldn't believe we lost. Yeah. And then the next year, you guys went, or the Titans went, 12 and 5 because of the extra game. Yep. With the one seed, a buy week, and then lost the Bengals. And it's, it's like you had those three years,

especially when. That would have been, yeah, that's almost, it would have been ideal. Those were, all the ingredients were there. Yeah. Yeah, we had the line. We had the line. We had Derek. We had, AJ Brown.

It's so hard to know that. AJ Brown and Julio. We've been this close. Really, we've been this. Yeah. And I was, I was born, Missouri boy. Fired up that Mike Jones made that tackle on like the inch yard line. Who?

Mike Jones, baby. Yeah. You always have to. I was in the good old grocery. Rebagging Kurt Warner was The greatest show on turf Marshall Falk. That's when he was Basically created...

That's when he created coming out of the backfields and hitting a A hot go route. Yeah. Running back out of the backfield. Those were some of my favorite NFL uniforms. That era Rams jersey was big. And the next year they might have went back to the Super Bowl and that's when the dynasty for the Patriots started

or the next couple years went... 2004, I think, was when... Respect. Yeah. So what was the year of the Rams? Rams Titans. Rams was 99.

And then the Rams Patriots was... We're watching after that. Look, oh, Rams Patriots Super Bowl. That was 2001 because it was right after 9-11. That's right. Good, yeah, good memory right there. Yeah, because we were hyped that the Rams made it back and you're playing the Patriots. And that was Tom Brady's year where Bledso gets benched because he gets injured.

Well, not gets benched. Right? Because he got injured. No, he got hurt. And then he comes back and gets healthy, but Tom is already firing. They kind of don't want to mess up what's happening. Well, Tom gets, I think Tom gets hurt or something in the AFC championship. Bloodsoe comes in, leads the Patriots to win the AFC championship. Then they got to make a decision who's going to start the Super Bowl.

Nice memory. The AFC championship was against the Raiders, right? The tuck rule? Yeah, I want to say that's the year. Yeah, that's the year. Yeah. Yeah, man, man, that is cool living back then. Was that Kevin Falk, the running back for the Patriots?

I want to say it was, yeah. Man, bro. That's back when we're just young and we're just fans of so many different players. That's the year like Tori Holt, Isaac Bruce are in their prime. Ooh. Yes, yes, man. Titans had a squad. Titans, dude, Frank Whitechak.

The D-Line, O line, everywhere. Yeah, man. The late 90s, early 2000. Titans came in hot from heat. Hot. Yeah, man. Those are fucking one years. Clayton Houston going back to the OG Oilers uniforms?

I know the Titans' Instagram account has been teasing. I know the Titans better. We were the Tennessee Oilers. We were the Tennessee Oilers. Remember that rap? Yes. Good. Because poor noise.

Can we just be the Oilers again? Maybe that's the spark we need. Those helmets, fuck, bro. Those are the craziest uniforms ever. Yeah. Those are so sick. Those are, I mean, those unies are, those are top three. They're going.

I'm not trying to make an emotional. Hey, those are the best. No, I'm telling you right now they are. It is. Yeah, but you guys, you guys are homegrown. Like it's... The powder blue, bro. You guys.

Powder blue. I mean, those unies go fucking so hard. Do you not ever... Did you get to play in a powder blue uniform? No. Well, then you don't fucking understand. You don't know what it's like to suit up in the powder blue is dog. Look at that, dude.

That's Tanah. Are you pro? It's not my responsibility to mentor this guy. I think it's not my responsibility. It's not like my sole responsibility to train this guy, but I do think it's like you... Could have handled that different with the media. Yeah, absolutely. I'm a pro get media trained before you go answer stupid fucking thing.

But you are like, you want to give any types of tips and advice. It's like when Roshan got drafted in the first round, I was so fucking pissed. But you sit in some of these meetings and think like, oh, man, this dude, you know, for Sean, you got to, he's missing some questions that he don't need to be missing. Yeah. But I do think it's, you do have some responsibility in giving back to the next generation. Yeah. Whether or not you're tight or sensitive about what your situation might be. Yeah.

And don't show your cards like that by answer. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, Ryan, if you see this, you won't. But if you do, a little bit more confidants would be sick from my quarterback. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you were always going to be the starting cue.
