Okay, let's talk about the original enemies to lovers story. Before all of our reality TV couples, before the rom-coms, we binge, there was Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy in pride and prejudice. And Audible has just dropped a brand new original that will have you completely hooked, I am. It's not just any audiobook. This is a full cast performance. So Marisa Abella, you might know her from industry, brings Elizabeth Bennett to life.

And Harris Dickinson from Baby Girl and Where the Crawdads sing is Mr. Darcy. And honestly, the chemistry, you guys, it's everything. Plus, you've got icons like Glenn Close, Bill Nye and Will Polter in the mix. Talk about a dream cast. Now, what I love is how Marissa pulls you right into Lizzie's world, her stubbornness, her wit, her messy family dynamics, and of course, her complicated feelings for Darcy. And with a vibrant new adaptation and original score by Grammy-nominated composer, it just feels so fresh and modern while still keeping that timeless Jane Austen charm.

So whether it's your first time experiencing Pride and Prejudice or you've read it a million times, you're going to fall absolutely in love all over again.

I told somebody in my second podcast ever that I give myself mirror high fives. Oh, nice. Yeah, so if I feel like it's going to be a good day, I'll like high-five myself in the mirror. Do you clean your own mirror, though, or do you have people that do that for you?

Because that would be a lot of fingerprints. Do you actually smack the mirror, or do you just kind of... My podcast is that successful that I have people that clean my mirrors for me after I give myself a mirror high-five. No, I really go for it. Really? I think that's dangerous, but it's cool that you live on the edge that way. Yeah, it's

very rewarding. But also, Very risky. I'm going to try it when I get home. I'm going to punch the mirror. It's going to be awesome. It's going to be a good day. Boom. Bad luck for seven years.

Yeah. That's all right. Yeah. Because if you break a mirror. Yes. Yeah. No, totally. That's cool.

From the band, High Valley. I always try and do the opposite of things. So I like call you guys low hill. Okay. Go ahead. What? I call you low hills. Oh, man.

Is that stupid? That's better than low mountain. Stephanie, who works at Warner Brothers. She gets us played on the radio all over the place. She always calls us low mountain or she calls us High and Valley. And when she found it, we were on this podcast, she's like, oh, Caitlin's my third favorite Canadian. And then I thought it would be, obviously, behind the two of us.

But she said it was behind Martin Short and Celine Dion. Wow. And I'm third? You're third, yeah. Congrats. The fact, I'm in good company. The fact that I am next to Celine Dion. Yes.

Wow. And this is an official list by somebody. somebody I don't know who she is you could probably start calling yourself like a celebrity or something well I am oh okay she's got a check mark on online yeah I don't know if you noticed but I'm official when we agreed to this we first verified that you had a check mark yeah you have to that's just strategic you're just being a businessman and I said is there going to be a huge flat screen of her face in the studio when we do this or not yep and there was and there is there always is I actually it happened in New York all of a sudden they started putting a picture of myself up on the wall

during my podcast. I was like, I kind of like that. It makes me feel like a big deal. Makes kind of the inner. It helps you center. I'm looking for a picture of me in here. It's on the slideshow at the end. Oh, is there a staff?

Can you do a slideshow? I'm hoping they hear me right now, so then they'll queue up the slideshow. Powerpoint. That's where we're buying you for Christmas next year is a PowerPoint. Powerpoint? Yeah. So old school. But High Valley, okay, that doesn't make sense to say low mountain because.

Yeah, it doesn't. Oh, wait. I'm over this. All right. Okay. Moving on. Wait. Because I saw your eyes roll and I was like, oh, I'm not going to go there.

I didn't think you're going to say that out of that. So I don't want to spend too much time on this topic because we were already over it when it started. You know when people say things like, let's say people walked up to you and said, so what was it like being on the bat? And you're like, please don't ask me that again. Yes. That's how we are with people saying, high valley, low mountain. Ha, ha, ha.

It's exactly like, has anybody said to you, Will you accept this rose? Yeah. Yeah, or do you know how they named Canada? And then you're just like, stop. I hate that joke. Is that a joke? What?

It's the worst joke ever. What is the joke? Are you from, you're from Canada? Yeah. Do we save it for later? Like when... I end my podcast with a joke if you want to tell me then. Oh, man.

It's a really low way to end a podcast. Okay, then let's start it with, with that. I want to start with horrible jokes? Yes, because then we can only go up from there. Oh, man. Okay. What's the context, though? is how they were naming Canada.

Oh, yeah, they picked letters out of a hat. Yeah. C, A. Oh, boy. N. A. Oh, boy. Yeah. D. A.

That's how they named it. Ha, ha, ha, ha. I've never heard that joke. Well, we just ruined your life. We heard about once a day. And now I feel like it's going to be one of those things that now I'm going to attract it. Everyone's going to tell me that joke and I'm going to hate it. You know why?

I think I know why you've never heard that joke. Why? Because when you moved to the United States, a lot of people already knew who you were and respected you when we came down here nobody had a clue and they you know they wanted to tell yeah i feel like if you respect somebody from canada you're not going to tell that joke okay i hope ricky skaggs is rickie skaggs does not respect you never mind what i just said i really i highly doubt rickie skaggs listens to the podcast but maybe if you guys are on i'm willing to bet i'll expand my audience by having you i mean he has grandkids so i mean he's

kind of oh are they girls because guys don't follow me oh you can see we should exchange followers yeah you can see my stats on uh instagram it's like 92% female well what's up females yeah so hopefully i what's our percentage i'm going to check right now yeah check um i just wanted to thank you guys for battling this this weather oh yeah you know to get here today oh my goodness the roads were so perfect as you can tell we're being very sarcastic i don't know what is well actually we just talked about this I do know what it is the city is not set up for snowstorms so everybody becomes no offense Tennessee but like you become the biggest babies that's so offensive and I said no offense I hate when people start with no offense you know it's

going to be offensive yeah but it makes it all good if you say no offense first right it like cancels out my offensiveness bless your heart bless your heart that's another oh my gosh I used to say that like I thought that was a nice thing and now I'm like oh girls say that oh bless your heart yeah so our instagram is 78% women oh that's pretty good we should you should we like so you could have less no never mind we both just have all women yeah never mind what was your percentage 90 92 oh wow all right so you beat us by 14 yeah yeah i think just instagram users in general are more female yes yeah i think you're right that's a good point and i don't and men won't admit they watch the bachelor so they like won't follow because they're like

how to watch that show. When I met you, remember, I didn't want to admit that I'd ever seen it, but I finally said the one where Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon is in the hot-up. And that was me. That's the one I saw. That's so funny. You also didn't want to admit that you had tweeted me. That's because I didn't know it at the moment.

I didn't assume that everybody who's from Alberta is automatically the Bachelorette. It was so funny because you let me in my seat and you said something like, ma'am. And I was like, oh, totally from Nashville, this guy. And then we got to tell you, and you're like from Alberta. And then I was like, what? And we talked about being in a small town in Alberta. I was like, that is so random. Like, how are we both on this plane right now?

And then you were like... Boarding passes. Oh, that's how it works. Carry on. I guess. You're right. Thank you for taking me down a notch. Thank you for that.

But you said something. I was like, oh, I know who you are. And you said... I think I said something like, you probably know who I am. Yeah, you did. I'm kidding. I would never say it. No, you, no, you said.

This is the funniest part is I was like, oh, I know who you are. And you, like, said your song, um, not she's with me. What's that other one? Make you mind probably. Make you mind. You're like, oh, yeah, make you mind. You probably heard on the radio. And I was like, just to clarify 92% girls and 8% men, I never said any of these things.

And then I said, no, because you tweeted me that your wife would kill you if you didn't get a picture with me. And you're like, oh, that's you. And then we like, it all came full. Because you had tweeted her before. Before you saw it. Yeah, like many moons ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought it was irrelevant.

I thought Twitter kind of like recycled after six months. Oh, no, they'll go right back into your archives like 10 years ago and pull stuff and you'll be in trouble. I guess you would know. I just pray nobody goes back 10 years from what I was saying on Twitter 10 years ago because I was immature. Anyways, what is your small town called again? Lucrete. Oh, that was. Did we say that in two-part harmony?

Are you guys brothers or something? It was kind of like two-part monotone. Everybody say Lucrete in your own note. Ready, one, two, three. Lucrete. Oh, man, that sounds beautiful. Thank you. The new hit single.

I'm in Nashville. I'm a singer. So thank you. Trust me, we can tell. Okay, what's the population of your... Is this another one of those things where you're like, man, we get it? No, no, no, no, no, it's all good. We feel honored to have beat you in the contest for smallest town ever.

Yeah. Our town isn't quite as small as, like, we've been a way small. It's probably around 3,000 now. That's small, guys. That's small. They're smaller, though. But it was like 15,000. or maybe even less when we were kids.

The real deal about our town that makes it so small feeling is how isolated it is. Yeah. Okay. So you do drive an ice road to get to our town. That's not a made-up story or a fake little fairy tale. You really drive on a frozen river. Somebody broke through it again a couple weeks ago. Really?

Yeah. That seems very dangerous. They went over when there was signs saying do not cross. Yeah. Well, they didn't follow the rules. It's not very Canadian of them. We're both very real follower kind of dudes. So you really have to drive?

Yeah. You don't have to. There's other ways to get there. But if you're coming from, you know, all these other towns you've heard of, like Grand Prairie. Of course. I know all these places. Manning, home of the world's largest fake moose. Is that a true fact?

They do have a big moose statue. Beaver lodge. Home of the world's largest beaver. Yeah, we can get going. Anyway, you got to cross the Peace River and it freezes and you drive over it. In the summer, you take a ferry. and it's really beautiful. Oh, that sounds beautiful.

Everybody should check out La Crete. Yeah, Google. Go ride the ferry. Very underrated. If you're Googling there or no, screenshot that you're actually looking up the Lucrete Ice Bridge. And tweet us.

Yes. Yeah. And tag us. Because it's a beautiful picture. I bet it is. I think I did some Googling actually while doing research on you guys. Nice.

What else did you find out in your research? I'm curious. Yeah, you guys are very innocent. I don't find anything. You were looking for dirt? Yeah. Well, when you Google somebody, usually the dirt is what comes up first, and there was nothing. And I don't have that much energy to actually go digging.

I'm just expecting something to come up. So you'd say you're kind of like a low energy person? Very. Okay. Like, it takes me a lot of, like, if I'm going to make a trip to my closet and come back out to the mirror to, like, look at my outfit, I'm, like, going to make myself extremely uncomfortable. I'll put, like, a shoe under my chin just so I don't have to do an extra trip back to the closet. Wow. Yeah.

How long of a distance are we talking here? What are we doing? Like, what measurement units do we use? Miles. Yards. Meters? Hands. Hands.

Oh, okay. I would say about 36 hands. That's how you measure a horse. Oh, you've got to save some energy for the high five. Right. Right. And I don't want to, yeah, I just can't go back and forth like that. So, yes, very low energy.

We had a show the other day in where were we just, Grand Rapids? Yes, we were. Michigan. And I ran off stage to go talk to somebody. And when I ran back on, I realized I had my Fitbit and I could measure how far I just ran. So we let the crowd know it was 0.01 miles. Do the crowd appreciate that information?

We're going to have to ask them, but I think they did. I can only assume. I bet. I feel like fans of you guys would appreciate if you told them what kind of toilet paper you used. Oh. Whatever's on sale. Really?

You know, I use whatever is the most, how do you say it? Quilted. The thickest amount of... Yeah, I like the quilted stuff. Yeah, and you're at that level now where you don't have to think about what level of toilet paper. You're like, I'm going for the good stuff. No, at the end of the month, when my wife says our grocery budget was $3 higher than usual, I'm like, hey, we can do that. Yeah.

Thanks for the nice toilet paper. Isn't that funny? When I go out somewhere, I'll have a couple glasses of wine. I'll, like, treat my friends to the nicest bottle on the menu. I'm like, I'll take the bill at the end, and then I get to the grocery store, and I'm like, $3 for bread. Yeah, no doubt. I'm like, that's ridiculous. And then I go for the cheap stuff.

Go to Aldi. Do you go to Aldi? What's that? It's a German grocery store that they have in Nashville, and it's... We were at Aldi today. It makes every other grocery store feel like they just stole all your money. Oh. Except Aldi has better, and this isn't a paid advertisement.

So if you're like endorsed by Kroger... If it is, I'm proud of you for getting paid by German bakery. They gave us free cars, that's it. Nothing else. Nothing else. Whatever. No jeeps or anything. Just have to talk about them once a year.

Yeah. But yeah, it's amazing. It's amazing gross. and they have a really good bread and it's not three dollars it's like two is this the kind of stuff that amuses you now after getting out of lucrete what's that deals on bread hashtag deals on bread I'd say my main passion is bread deals and that's about it right now our biggest thing we noticed for real though getting out of lucrete was was amazon prime I mean that's oh what a gift yeah I mean we had to we grew up 20 miles from the grocery store yeah and that was like

the only uphill both ways yeah pretty much and uh if we wanted to like buy a pair of pants we'd have to go to grand prairie or wow or edmonton we could go to the west edmonton mall and that was only 500 miles yeah but nobody would ever do it we'd all just order from the sears catalog and show up wearing the same bugle boy jeans oh that is adorable do you remember bugle boy of course yeah yeah of course when my wife and i met we were dating and i went and bought her now looking back the most nondescript gifts ever you know i was like i know what she needs a Gap sweater that says Gap on it, you know? I loved those.

The pink hoodies with a gap. Yeah, but everybody in the world had one. But that was cool. Yeah, I guess. I loved those sweaters. I really did. My boyfriend growing up, I dated him for four years in, like, high school. He's my high school sweetheart.

He always bought me things that plugged in without fail every time. Like stereos and stuff? Like an ice, dry ice maker. Wow, those are important. Very, yeah. Very stylish, too. A picture of New York that when you plugged it in, it lit up. Oh, but how fitting for your new career?

Like, think about it. He was like, he knew back when I was 16 that one day I would be in the big city. Exactly. I would get out of Ladook. Okay, guys, before we confess, let's talk about daily harvest, shall we? They are superfoods straight to your door. Choose from smoothies, activated breakfast bowls, or an ice cream. Yeah, that's vegan ice cream Sundays.

Single serving cups that you heat or blend. What was really great is I tried the breakfast one and I was in a rush to go to boxing and I was like, oh my gosh, I can take 30 seconds and just heat up the old breakfast bowl and go. Every cup is ready in 30 seconds, literally. Add water, add any other liquid, coconut milk, almond milk, actual milk, whatever you're feeling, you know? Do you. Everything is organic and looks as good as it tastes. You can get three free cups in your first box if you go to daily harvest.

dot com with promo code vine guys that's three free cups in your first box okay daily harvest dot com with promo code vine do you remember the store san francisco yes and it had all like the gag gifts yep do you really are you lined no i've been there because my friends may or may not have bought some pretty inappropriate pens from there right yeah that sounds about right and this one he bought me a light and it was like a tube that went up to my ceiling but it like had different colored bubbles nice It was like a lava lamp Yeah, it was like that For cheap boyfriends

Right, yeah Oh, and then he bought me a PlayStation Which was basically for him But jokes on him I ended up becoming a huge gamer Really? Really? A huge gamer? Are you currently a gamer? I will, if you get me started, I won't stop

What do you play? Call of Duty is my jam When I lived in Germany I would play for seven hours a day That's a little unhealthy Oh, this should be my confession Oh, maybe we should do Confessions right.

Sure. Yep, Confessions. This is mine. This is Confession Time. Did you guys just write that? Yeah, that was really beautiful, and that might be my new song for the segment. Thank you. Wow, what a jingle. Some would call him the songbird of our generation.

Some would. Some wouldn't. But some would. 87%. Okay, that's my confession. Even though I might have already talked about this on another podcast, Doing a show every week. I don't remember what I said eight weeks ago.

That's okay. First world problems, let's be honest. Yeah. You're right. And I was in traffic to get here. Oh, man. That's my worst part about this ice storm stuff, the Instagram. And then I had to get in my car and it's cold.

It just drives me nuts. Yeah, I hear you. Especially growing up in the creek. No, but anywhere in the world, it's like all of our grandparents are like thinking we're all a bunch of wusses. Oh, I know. Complaining about everything. And we don't just complain. We take videos of it.

So the whole world can sympathize. Yeah, and tell us that we're going to be okay. Yeah, it's horrible. I bought a flipper, like an egg flipper thing because I was parked at Kroger and the freezing rain covered my truck. And they didn't have any ice scrapers, so I went and bought a flipper and tried to clear off my truck. Like a burger flipper. Yeah. Did you videotape that and send it out to the world?

It was on our Instagram stories. Should we be offended right now that you didn't see it? Yeah. I'm like, wait, it was out there? I didn't see it. I choose to be offended. But it didn't work. Yeah, exactly.

It'd be weird if you weren't offended. But it didn't work? No, it didn't. It just kind of like, just kind of. Well, I could have told you that and saved you some time that an egg flipper wouldn't take off. But I didn't have any other option. They were sold out of the real stuff. Your credit card.

Have you never done that trick? I have, but this was like freezing rain. It wasn't just like Canadian. Did you try it, though, on the same? stuff with the credit card? No, I didn't. Because on Instagram, after you posed of the story, there was like 20 people

responded, credit card, credit card. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, no, no. Next time. Sorry, American Express. Didn't mean to neglect your abilities. Is this an ad?

I don't know what the budget is. They do not give me money. For your show? What? Although I do see we've got Deer Park Water, which is great. There's also Desani. I know. I just was going to say,

I want to apologize because I looked everywhere from my Deer Park Water and couldn't find it, So I opened up a bottle of Desani. Now I realize that it was on the other side of my chair. It's okay. You know what? Those are $2. You can open all of them and not drink them because it's...

Because you're having a pretty good year? Because you're having a pretty good year? Yeah. Yeah, it's 2018 and it's off to a great start, okay? Drink all the water you want. All right. Can't wait. I am.

Okay, so my confession is that I was a gamer. I would, seven hours a day, I would sit in my own filth, like, oh, that's not a really gross. It sounded like a baby in a full diaper. I know I thought about that. I'm like, no, I did excuse myself to go to the bathroom. Brought to you by Depends. Yeah, I am sponsored. Okay, so you're sitting in your own filth?

Yeah, and I would just pour myself vodkas and play Call of Duty, and I had the headset and everything, and everybody was German around me, so I didn't even know what they were saying, but I would still use it because it felt more authentic. Authentically German or authentically gamerish? Gamerish. good yeah it uh wow that's pretty amazing to be honest what if you would have spent like 10% of that time learning german you know what just a thought that i was going to talk about that because i did download the rosetta stone remember that app yes yep and i would try it and then i'd be like

but what's going on on call of duty today and then i would just get distracted and then i kept German is not an easy language to learn, by the way. You know that Germans are main language. I did actually. Now I remember talking about this on a plane. It probably isn't easy at all, but if you grow up speaking it, it sounds incredibly romantic when you use it in your adult life. Do you really think so?

No. Oh, was that British there? I was like, do you really think so? Do you really think so? Really? You speak German now? Well, if we were going to say, like, you look nice, we would say, dez-z-chmuck. That does not sound romantic in any.

Anyway, he was kidding. He was kidding. Oh, sarcasm I usually pick up on that. Yeah, sarcasm doesn't translate that well without cameras. It's tough. I really thought you were being serious. Oh, you did? How about this?

How about this? Whenever we're sarcastic, we'll just let everybody know. No, because I want people to pick up on that. And I'm better than that. I should have got that. Love it. So that was your confession, that was it? Yeah.

That I was just disgusting. Like my... Yeah, the worst skin like that I've ever had. I was just gross playing Call of Duty for hours in a day. Wow. but never any Madden or NHL or NBA or any sports game. I didn't mind the NHL ones, but... NHL is my jam.

Is it your jam? Yeah. Yeah, it's so much fun. I just felt like I was better at Call of Duty, so I just stuck to what I was good at. I didn't... Murdering for money. Yeah.

I get so, like, turning around in that game in Call of Duty, it's just really confusing for me. Yeah, it's hard. It's something that you really got to work on and have a passion for. Yeah, I get lost. Oh, I feel so bad right now. For me? For everybody in the world is like working hard and doing things.

Hey, well, that was back in my day when I didn't know any better. That's a confession. No, it's full excusable. You're supposed to accept, yeah, thank you. You're supposed to accept that I'm letting you in on these secrets. No, we're privileged. We feel honored, honestly. Yeah, very convincing.

I can tell. Wait till you confess. I feel like I know you so much better now. That's true. Since the confession? Does it make sense now? Oh, my goodness, yes. I like, oh, I get it.

that's fine what's your confession are you going first oh man um my favorite thing to eat as a child was uh homemade white buns like dinner rolls yeah with uh brown chicken gravy that's fine and uh i probably i'm pretty sure i still really like it maybe that's the confession is that a confession isn't it kind of weird that's as evil as he gets right there that's so i just want to like toughen you up a little bit okay okay okay if we're talking if we're thinking like dark bad yeah go there uh i broke into a school portable and hosted a movie night and um it was awesome until we got kicked out by the principal and he threatened to charge me with uh what would it be breaking and entering little b and e action little b and e yeah oh so dinner rolls

to b and e okay yeah i know that escalated quickly i did and then he called me the next day and he's like hey um i know you guys were just having some innocent fun and and everything and he forgave you because he was Canadian he was like i'm sorry i had to ruin the party i know you guys were just having a good time but it's i just it was just something i needed to do and uh love your music by the way have a great day stop that wait this was recently or back then uh this was like five years ago oh that is amazing you were you guys are just really putting lecrete on the map Oh, yeah. Really putting it on the map.

Tell her about getting pulled over and then getting pulled over again. Oh, yeah. Okay, so... Tell her really understand Curtis, this summarizes his entire life. Okay, I can't wait. So, I've never gotten a speeding ticket. Okay. Ever?

Ever? Or any kind of, like, traffic violation ticket. I got a seatbelt ticket one time as a passenger when I was 16 or 15 or something. When you were in your rebellious phase? Is that a word? Rebellious. No. Actually, we got pulled over in half an hour later.

And we were still being pulled over and the guy came back and back and forth a few times. And I said, Curtis, put your seatbelt on. And he's like, well, I wasn't wearing it. So I'm not going to lie and pretend to wear it. And then the guy came out. Isn't that the time you're talking about? Yeah. So he was so honest, he got a seatbelt thing.

Anyway. It's so adorable. So fast forward, I don't know. I was married already. So this was probably three years ago or something like that. I was speeding and I saw lights in my mirror. You dirty dog. Go on.

Yes. Please, do you. And so he pulls me over and writes up a ticket and I got my first speeding ticket. My wife is like celebrating. She's like throwing a party in the passenger seat because finally Curtis has a speeding ticket. Yeah. And she's gotten a ton because I guess cops just hate her for some reason. Yeah, you just, some people attract them.

Yeah, it's weird. Yeah. And so I've got my first ticket ever and she, my wife is just floored. Yeah. And so we pull back onto the highway. I think I was going like 118 in a 100 zone. Colometers, of course. Okay, so I'm like 18 over.

Yeah. And so we pull ahead and I can't see him in my mirror anymore. So I started going like 115. I'm like, nobody's going to stop me for 115. No. Sure enough, lights come on. Same cop? Well, I wasn't sure, but I was pretty nervous.

And so I pull over and he's coming pulling up behind and he gets closer and I can recognize his face. I see the big mustache that I saw from earlier. Classic. And he walks up to the window and he's like, hey, who's car is this? And I'm like, this is my dad's car. We're just borrowing it. He's like, yeah, I looked at the registration when I pulled you over earlier and I just looked at the name on the registration. I made the ticket out to your dad.

He's like, when I go back to my car, I realized I saw two different names, and I wrote only one of them down, and I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. I'll just take that back. So you didn't have the ticket? No, he took the ticket back. You got to pull over twice in one day, zero tickets. So I still do not have a speeding ticket. Oh, that is a great story.

Yeah. Great story. Thanks. Sometimes I do, actually, sometimes I only did it once. Happy Newsday Tuesday, where I tell a Canadian news story. Oh, yeah. So thank you for just taking that on yourself. You're welcome. You're welcome.

That's a great Canadian. That's hilarious. Yeah. And my wife was so mad. Oh, I bet. She's still pretty disappointed. Yeah. But yeah, I've sort of convinced that I'll never get a speeding ticket.

You should test that theory. I have been. I've passed a cop going 140. Yeah, but you're in America now. No, this was in Canada as well. Well. Okay, yeah. And he pulled me over and still didn't give me a ticket.

I don't know what in the world. That's 84 miles an hour for anybody doing the minute. Oh, wow. In a 60 zone. I'm still figuring all that stuff out. Like Fahrenheit? No, thanks. I don't get it.

Farron who? Oh, boy. What, is that a joke, too? That was tied for the worst joke in a day. Oh, that's kind of funny, I guess. She liked it. She liked to give you, like, bad jokes. Yeah.

Dad jokes? Do you say dad or bad? Same thing. Yeah, they're the exact same. thing but that's why we love them my goal in life is to be a good dad yeah and tell good dad jokes yeah I have a book for you really mm-hmm I'm not gonna tell you anymore because it's gonna be do I have to wait till Christmas or do I get it today Brad did you get the watch need the one for my wife yeah no oh um movement they do spots on my podcast um I did that they were going to

well I feel like now is a great time to converse with them I'm gonna follow up with movement all right um what's your confession Brad well my confession is he's got a handful and they're good I'm so excited this is actually a good timing because a lot of people in our hometown will hopefully be listening and if you remember hometown people I feel really embarrassed to say this

but 2001 I believe 11th grade our school had a beautiful lunchroom and if you recall somebody started things on fire and then we never had a lunchroom again I was the one who did that do people know that

Are you just confessing now? Yeah, people don't know that. I know that. Yeah, well, yeah. Basically, somebody, you know those pizza pockets that used, or hot pockets? Somebody had one of those, and they turned it on the cafeteria microwave to like 20 minutes or something and just burnt it. It was like a black brick. And I thought it would be funny at the end of lunch when everybody left to just turn the microwave on to 60 minutes or whatever max is.

No. and leave. No, you didn't. So I did, and then it started smoking. It was never a fire. It was more like smoke. You know when you burn something in your oven and your house? You know when you put a pizza pop in the microwave for 60 minutes?

Yeah, I know that, yeah. So I did that, and I just thought it would be funny, but then all of a sudden the smoke started coming out of the door and down the hallway. And for like a couple of weeks, there was announcements. If anybody knows who started the smoke in the school lunchroom, please report yourself, want to cancel the lunchroom and all this kind of crazy stuff.

But I never did because I was, I'm not sure why. I guess I was just nervous about it. Yeah, because you didn't mean to like do anything wrong and that happened and you're like, well, I didn't mean to. It was just being a crazy teenager. Yeah. And anyway, they said we have no other choice. We're going to just shut down the lunchroom for the entire year.

So they did. And all the children never got fed for the rest of the year. Well, good minute I tell you, your mom makes you lunch every single day. day so there was no like you all bring your own lunches anyway so we all just had to sit on the floor in the hallway for the rest of the year and eat our lunches oh and um brought you guys all closer together i think it really did yeah it's a nice story actually and then i must have been in a rebellious time because a kid um two kids we our town is the pizza place yeah it's literally called the pizza place makes sense great and and hashtag paid

unpaid they don't have the funds for that Oh, they do. They do. They're killing it. But two kids that were too young to drive my car, got into it while I was in the pizza place, and they just kind of drove it around the parking lot, showing off to their girlfriends and stuff, that they were going to steal Brad's car. They were like 14 or something.

Yeah, so when I got out there, they were like, oh, he's back. And I said, oh, don't worry about it. Stay in the car. And I immediately started driving, and I drove five miles out of town. And we grew up on our farm, you know, like 20 miles out of town. So I said, hey, guys, you have two choices. You either get out and walk back to school or I'm driving home and it's 20-mile walk from there. Cutthroat.

So, yeah, it was pretty hardcore. Wow. So they got out and walked back to school and missed, like, a bunch of classes because it takes a while. And there's not enough traffic to hitchhike in La Crete, Alberta. And then they toilet papered my car. Oh. And this is where it really got aggressive. But Brad didn't go all the way home to the farm. He just turned around and went back to school.

Yeah, of course. See you. See you. So this time. The toilet papered my car, and me and my buddies grabbed the kid, and I feel really guilty for this. He's a really nice guy, I'm sure. You're really confessing to me right now. This is great.

And we put him in the trunk of my car. He was alive. Brad. Yeah, and then we drove out to the lake. It's called Jake's Lake. It's actually called La Cerengo, but everybody calls it Jake's Lake. Which is quite a bit easier. Yeah.

Everybody say it with me. Jake's Lake. Yeah, I was going to do Jake. Like, I don't know what you even said. And we dropped him off there and made him walk back to school for toilet paper in my car. And then he missed his math midterm, which is one of the two government exams for the whole year. Very necessary. And I got in really huge trouble for that.

Yeah, I'm sure you did. And now, you know. That is not cool beans. No. I feel like everything that's got super depressing in here. Yeah. No, these are good stories, though. I was processing it.

Okay. Yeah. In Canada, do you guys say processing? No. All my friends and family do. Yeah. You know what? I bet they do.

Yeah. I bet we do. Did. Did. Are you the A thing? You got rid of that? Scrapped it? I say it sometimes.

I do too. I'm not against it. I'm not against A either. It was just that when I was on the show, everybody would call me out for it so many times that I was actually just annoyed. Yes. Like I was like, now I'm not scrapping it because I think it's like a dumb thing. I actually love it. But I'm going to get rid of it because you guys are assholes.

Yeah. exactly it's kind of just like down here people just grunt instead of saying hey like pretty good huh yeah yeah it's the same thing that was one of my girlfriend yes no um so the same as hey i tried to switch it to hey yeah but they still think you're saying hey and one of my girlfriends was like no you can't because it sounds like a because i said hey she's like ha ha i'm like i said hey i'm like same thing you have to say huh and i'm like no i will not i won't say anything i shall not shall not tell me what to do those are great confessions guys thank you thank you Yeah, not bad. We aim to place.

And you did. Yeah, you delivered. Success. Success. Success. Successful segment there. Thank you. Does anybody ever go to the bathroom during the show or do you just stay here? Oh, yeah, go ahead. No, we can edit anything out. Do you have to go to the bathroom? I really do. You are excused. Thank you. Don't edit it out. Don't edit it out. Brad's peeing right now, everybody. Yeah.

92% females. Out to the left. We're going to time you. All right. Hey Siri, set my timer This is amazing Okay, watch this Hey Siri, what's my name? You're Curtis

doing that i try but so much of things that i do has to be on my phone. Yeah, you'd lose your... But I'd try to like... Yeah, I'd lose my street cred. Exactly. I try to lose like the phone around 7 p.m. That is such a lie.

It's like more like midnight. I'm gonna text you at 7.1. I'll text you at 7.01 tonight. So when I'm sleeping, I'm not on my phone. Right. Yeah, exactly. Which is not old school at all. I do, I love the idea of doing that, but it's just so difficult in this.

It's just a movement, you know? It's nothing serious. Not all of us can grow up in the LC, you know. That's true. We actually call it L.A. To be honest. No, that's Leduc, Alberta. Liduc C, Alberta?

No. Liduc, Alberta is called L.A. I danced to L.A. Dance Academy all growing up. You can't be L.A. Yeah, L'Crete's always been L.A. too. What? People, my buddies will be like, when are you coming to L.A.

And it's not a joke. Like, ha-ha, I mean, Los Angeles. It's always Lucrete. That's La Ducreta. Like, when our publicist is like got you guys going to L.A. No, we didn't do that. Oh, you didn't have the gang sign. No, no, no, no.

La Duke, Alberta. No, we were kind of against gangs. Gang symbols. Oh. Yeah. Oh, yeah, me too. That was stupid. Just kidding.

Hey, no, but here's the question. How do you spell Ladoaks with, doesn't even have an A in it? Alberta. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Oh. Yeah.

Oh. I miss that. Got it now. Got it. Yeah. La Duke, Alberta. Did I do that the wrong way? No, what?

It was good. It was very well done. Nobody can see me anyways. I was totally fine. the way that you did it thank you yeah it's like west edmonton mall that i've done when it's like ymca for people who know less letters right my math teacher in high school he thought he was so cool one time because he's like yeah you know Microsoft Word and i was like oh my gosh you did not just do that that that's a stupid story that's pretty cool no i like it so it's a good story but nobody

can see it yeah i know that's what she did you guys we're making ws with our hands i did like the l like loser if you put it on Then you're... That's backwards. That's the wrong way. Oh, okay. Right. That just looks like a protractor.

Oh. Talking about math. Okay, the L on the forehead. And then I did a piece sign upside down over the L to make it L.A. Yeah. Or like a baseball team logo. Yeah, exactly. There you go.

Thank you. That would have been much easier to just explain that way. Before we take a break, let's talk about Fabletics. Kate Hudson, duh. You had me at Kate.

You didn't have FM radio. True. Did you just have a couple of guitars or well? Oh, man. I like I said guitar. My son said it that way, too. We had radios, but when you turn them on, it was not fun to listen to. Static am.

Wow. It just keeps you humble, doesn't it? But we did have a couple of guitars. Okay. And is that how you got into music because you had nothing else to do? Well, you had hockey probably because there's girls in ponds. Yep. Yeah.

We had a for real arena, hockey, basketball, all that stuff. But yeah. Yeah, give us a glimpse into your childhood. Well, we should have brought. I started every day with the bun with gravy. Of course, naturally. Brownies, for real. Our mom did have brownies.

every single day at home. I'm not saying every, like, 95% of the, would you say? Brownies. Brownies for days. If our friends came over, they wouldn't say, did your mom make brownies? Where are the brownies? Where are they? That's pretty awesome.

So that was pretty cool. Get fit to clean. We were a chocolate family. We still are. Yeah. We're all about, you know. The sweets. Brownies.

All about this. Chocolate covered almonds. Yeah, that's just like a tradition. Mmm. Cake. What about slab cookies? What? Did you ever make sense?

slab cookies. What is that? It's like a flat chocolate chip cookie in a square. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like a cookie sheet full of basically a cookie cut into squares. Yeah. Oh, yeah, we did that too. Okay, cool.

What do you call it? Slab cookie? Slab cookie. Sounds cool. I don't know what we called it, but we sure ate it. Bad cookies. If we didn't call it, we just ate it. Yeah.

It was a stupid term. Swab cookie. It's a cookie, Caitlin. It's a cookie, Caitlin. I'm totally fine with the term. There were six kids, but the three girls are four. first and then three boys. Wow.

So farm. In the 100 meter dash. Just kidding. Birth order. That was funny, right? That was a good one? Yeah. You're getting better.

You're warming up. Trying to think. What do you want to glimpse into our childhood? Yeah, like, okay, you had six siblings. No, five. Six total. Six total. Two of us.

Oh, yeah. Right. The two of us had four siblings. Okay. Wow, I'm bored. Six total kids is what we're getting. at you didn't have TV that's just amusing in itself to people listening like they're like what you didn't have TV growing up like that's mind-blowing to be yeah the main thing like here we sit in a

studio and I mean we are in these studios every day and in Nashville everybody uses references all the time so we'd be and before we we used to not admit to people that we didn't have TV growing up yeah not like it was a check yes or no situation but we just never bring it up yeah but they would always and forever in our recording sessions be like you know it's kind of like a lead Zeppelin meets Aerosmith kind of thing or, you know, that'd be like guitar references for bands. For tones or bligs or whatever. And you'd never heard of them. We just would smile and nod, you know, like, yeah.

Fake it until you make it. Oh, yeah. And then you made it. And then suddenly people started realizing that we were absolutely unfamiliar with any of these references and people were kind of amused. Yeah. And then we realized that maybe it was more of a cool fact rather than a humiliating. situation i actually love that because i think that speaks to your music too and and that that's actually like your guys's music you know like i people can be inspired by other musicians and i'm

sure you were too but your music is your own and you've kind of inspired yourselves with your songs that's cool yeah and we had inspirations on on on a record our mom and dad had a record player and we had people forget about those yeah they do exist we had rickie skaggs which everybody knows is like our biggest role model but there's also um um The Beatles. We did have a Beatles record. We had the Everly Brothers. And we had Buck Owens. There wasn't, like, tons. But we did have actual influences. It just wasn't all the cool kid stuff that everybody else knew. And so, yeah, coming down here is quite, it's intimidating either way, coming down to Nashville as a musician, because I think what's the coolest thing about Nashville is that the same part that's also the worst thing about Nashville is that everybody comes here being a big deal in their small town. And then here you just get, like, pretty much. kick to the curve and realize that, wow, every single person I meet here is a big deal in their small town. Yeah.

So that was already really intimidating to try and all of a sudden compete with everybody here. But then to be in these circles where every day we were the only people that didn't understand what everybody else was talking about, that was pretty weird for a while. And finally, we just started admitting it instead of pretending, we'd just be like, hey, I actually don't know. He just owned it. Yeah.

Yeah. Kind of a breaking point was when we were at a song meeting, a bunch of songwriters were like bragging about how they became this kind of songwriter or telling who their inspiration was and their background and somebody played billy jean and um like an idiot i raised my hand and said hey who is that girl singing right now and then um everybody looked at me like we'd been living under a rock our whole lives which we sort of had been right but that's your life and you there was no backpedaling from that wow i mean you don't it's hard to even think about that you don't know who Michael Jackson would be, like, but how would you?

Yeah. I mean, now we do after living here for a while. When did you move to Nashville? Eight years ago? Eight years. Okay. So now we know, I mean, we know Imagine Dragons. We know one in the public.

Oh, yeah, you're in now. We are dialed in. We're up to speed. We heard of you. You have heard of me, yeah. Tweeted you twice. Was it twice? Well, I'm just saying, like, the first time before we knew you in now.

Well, that's great. I actually love that. I think that's so cool. Like, what a cool story to have. that you have come to Nashville and been able to do what you do and succeed in that, having those stories. We're very thankful that that has been an organic. It wasn't always going to be an organic thing.

There was a period, what would you say, like three years ago. Yeah. Where. When we were still trying to fit in and not really telling everybody that, hey, we don't know what you're talking about. Right, right. We were trying to sound like what we were hearing on the radio. Yeah.

Instead of making our own music. Because you probably see that that works. Yeah, sometimes. Yeah, sometimes. But going with... So did you all play music from a young age? Did your family all play music? Yeah, we got to tweet out, I thought about this today.

We need to let people hear our first record. When I was four years old, our family made. Oh, you have to do that. I sang a song called Self-control on it as a four-year-old, but I couldn't say control, so it's self-quintral. Oh, that's adorable. Because the cue sound is so much easier. I was like who exactly

Wow and you have that recorded Yeah it was a Remple family gospel cassette It's got a pink album cover Didn't mom like hand draw the album cover I'm sure she did I think it's sold 47 copies I'm assuming That's actually really impressive

Thank you At four? No our whole family was on it I was just young I was Curtis wasn't alive yet I was negative two at the time But I love the record One of my favorite

Not 40 Top 40. It's definitely a top 40 record. Top 40. For me. Oh, that's really cool. You definitely need to release that. We, I don't know, yeah, I guess. Release it like into the world.

Yeah, just into the world. Oh, yeah. Not as our next single. No, no, no. I just mean people would love to hear that because I think that's a cool story too. I think we'll do it. Okay. I'm glad.

You heard it here first. Yeah, glad we had that. That's going to be my headline now. I don't think I do, but I wonder if I have it on. Oh, no. Please look. Oh, Siri. You guys have had 43 million.

song streams worldwide. Nice. I did not know that. Really? This is what you found when you were digging for dirt. Not everybody gives themselves high fives in the mirror, okay? Now you're going to go home and give yourself two, maybe a high 10. High 10, that's what the kids call it.

Okay, well, then I'll keep telling you facts about yourself. Yeah, it's true. Including $22 million for your first single, Make You Mine. Love that song. I really do. Thanks. I actually loved that song before I knew it was you guys. Like, when you sat down on the plane, I didn't know you, I didn't put the two together,

and I already loved that song. Before I started singing it to you on the plane, being like, hey, want to download this? Strain it, put it out to the people. And you two have been selected for Ones to Watch by Rolling Stone Country, Spotify, Pandora, CMT, and Taste of Country. Nice. Wow. I like that. Am I telling you guys new information here?

I've heard that. I have heard that. Well, congratulations. We try and watch. We've been watching ever since they said that. Ever since they said that we started watching ourselves in the mirror like crazy. Yeah. Yeah.

Just like, what am I about to do now? High fives. Yeah, high fives all day long. And then I remember you telling me on the plane also. You guys had like a video out on tractors. What is that for that video? Video and tractors. I told me this on the plane.

Oh, on the combine. Can I clarify it was a long flight. So we both said a lot of stuff. We hadn't taken off yet. You're making it sound like I was just like, hey, so I'm Brad and I had a video about tractors and. No, what the context was that we were talking about. about Alberta and we also talked about like how people can be really mean online and that

led to oh yeah I know what you're talking about the comments on YouTube where people are like I bet good memory yeah very very very impressive oh really yeah for real I totally forgot that it was also like 6 a.m so now I'm really impressed with myself maybe I'm pumping my own tires here so yeah we either way there's a lot of full tires in this room yeah on YouTube people were like um saying about our video We had a song called On the Combine back in the day, and there was 250 combines on one field at one time with a company called Harvest for Kids, and we broke the world record. Guinness was literally there, and it was officially a world record. It signed the papers. For biggest harvest ever or fastest.

It was 10 minutes to harvest 320 acres. Yeah. And then the video comes out, and a bunch of people on YouTube are like, these boys, I can tell you for sure they've never been on a tractor a minute in their lives. You're like, all I know is a trucker. It was pretty funny. We drove tractors to school, actually. Speaking of Guinness, I got the plaque. We all got plaques for breaking the record.

But mine said Herman on it and not Curtis. Herman. Is that somebody in your family? No, I have no idea who Herman is. Wow. That's also not like a common name. Maybe I should get Siri to call me Herman. That's actually not bad.

Herman, wow, okay. I kind of want to name my Jeep that. Really? It's a good name. Yeah. It's like a good, like funny name. Yeah, yeah. Hermie, for short.

Hermie. Hermie, yeah, and now we're getting somewhere. Hermie. Hermie. That reminds me of Herbie. Is that the name of that VW? Volkswagen. Volkswagen movie.

Those were the movies we were allowed to watch in our Minternight House old. Herbie, right? Oh, I know what you're talking about it. Herbie the car. Yes, you're right. Once we turned 18 and got TV, we could watch Herbie as many times as we wanted.

I feel like is that a kid's movie? I have no idea. Lindsay Lohn was in it, so. Oh, yes, I do know. You're talking about? Yeah, I do. So that must be crazy, though, because now you both have kids. You're married and to raise. Not to each other, though. Not to each other, of course. To grow up or to have your kids now grow up in this world where there is so much technology and everything is just so different. Do you find that really challenging? A little bit. I've worn my kids a lot. I always tell them that I will always be the old-fashioned dad, so just get used to it because we don't do any screen time during the week. Oh, that's great. I want to do that so bad, but that's also very challenging. very challenging because every other kid wakes up and watches TV before they go to school and they get to bring their iPad so that in case it's raining they can play iPad games

during recess and then your kids are going to thank you later and then I say hey how about on Friday we watch football yeah great and that's their screen time yeah we watch football because they're really big into football right huge football basketball baseball as of yesterday we signed them both up and hockey so they just play sports every minute of your last so what you're saying is you and your wife, you're good breeders. That's pretty much exactly the underlying rule. Great, great. Wow. Good breeder.

Good breeder, Brad. Hey, thanks, man. I appreciate it. Well, and you have kids, too. Are they into sports? Are they too young? My daughter's nine months old. My son is turning four in 15 days. Oh, cute. And he is

the only thing, pretty much the only thing that he's into right now is Disney's cars. Okay. So, like, he He collects all the Lego builds and the little matchbox size cars. That's what he's crazy about right now. Oh, that's adorable. And jumping on the trampoline. We got a trampoline for Christmas.

See, that'll take him away from the screen. Oh, yeah. He loves it. I remember growing up, my options were, do you want to go to Disneyland or get a trampoline? And I picked a trampoline. Yes. Yeah, because the longevity, right? You go to Disneyland and it's done.

You get a trampoline. Set for life. We're laughing. So, like a year later, where you still just jump. I was so over it. I was so over it. And my mom would, like, make neighbors sign contracts, like, that if they got injured, it wasn't our fault. And so nobody even wanted to come jump on our trampoline anyways, because it was, like, the no-fund zone.

Really? Yeah. I want to meet your mom now. Any mom who gets you to sign contracts to jump on a trampoline is a friend of mine. You wouldn't think that. You'd think she was like, eh, whatever. Pipp-p-p-p-p-you. She doesn't do the guns.

I guess that's smart, though, because a lot of bad things can happen on a trampoline. We have a pool in our backyard and our boys have a ladder to their bedroom. It's like a loft. And one of my best friends' daughters fell off of it. And we still don't have people signed contracts. And we have a trampoline. So maybe we were just hanging with the wrong crowd. Like we didn't trust our friends and neighbors.

Apparently, we're like, they're going to sue us. I think I'm going home and printing out contracts. It is not a bad idea. Something to think about, okay? Although my wife keeps ordering ink on Amazon, this is confession for my wife. wife right now and it's never the right ink and it never works oh oh for your printer yeah so i don't know if i can print contracts i might just carve them into the tree just carve them is that a tricky thing to order ink i don't know are you sarcastically like running down my wife right now no i'm genuinely

asking i'm like wait is that because because to me i just send sean out to do that yeah i'm like can you go buy ink for the printer i don't get it how about you give me sean's number and i'll send him out to buy some ink and we'll see if he knows how to do it. He does have a printer, so I'm sure to, you know. That's so cool. You guys should work out together, though. It's a great idea. I feel like you guys are all big workout.

That actually is a good idea. You know what else is a good idea? Oh, I can't wait. Chocolate? True or false games. Oh, amazing. Okay. I've got some Alberta facts, and I've got some ones that I made up.

Facts that you made up or just questions. I made up facts and they're actual facts. Oh, I see. I see. Gotcha. Are you ready? Yes. The term trick or treat

began in Alberta. False. Okay. Well, that's just one half of the band. True. Oh. Are you just saying that because Brad said false? Yeah.

Okay. It's true. It's true. In 1927, in Blackie, Alberta. Does that town even exist? Blackie? Apparently. It could be blocky.

Blackie sounds like what a four-year-old kid names their dog. Yeah. Like this four-year-old kid. I'm pretty sure we had a black lab named Blackie. for a second until and then Goldie All the Golden Achievers are always named Goldie

That's cute That's what I named My first sunfire It was gold You had a sunfire? I had a sunfire Of course you did We lived in Alberta

You want me to show off If you want me to show off My car It had a remote For the stereo Oh yes I had that too But when Rebecca and I met She got so mad at me

Like using the remote Finally she thought threw it in the back and said, why don't you hold my hand instead of that stupid remote? And I never found the remote again. But you hold her hand every time now. Exactly. It's so romantic. That's a romantic story.

Why 10 and 2 and you can just one left hand on the steering wheel, right? 10 and high reward. Exactly. That's so funny. Okay, instead of a key to the city, people in Calgary get white cowboy hats and have to say the most stereotypical Albertan pledge ever. True. You're trying to read my eyes right now, but I'm not giving you anything.

I think you made that up. No, it's true. Can I just one up my true statement? You know this? I got back from Cancun three days ago. Yeah. Beside me on the tanning chair right beside me at the pool is the mayor of Calgary. N'uh.

Says, I'm going to come to your show. Nice to meet you. And you and your brother are both going to be white-hatted. And you'll have to say the pledge. Are you lying to me right now? I'm dead serious. That's just happened. What a coincidence.

Yeah, because you were very confident in your true. Oh, I was 100% confident. You didn't hesitate. You were like, true. And you give the head nod. Holy smells. Can't wait to see you in a white cowboy hat, Curtis. It would be a beautiful thing.

Yeah, it would be a beautiful thing. Make sure you send it out to the world. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Here we come, world. White hat. Me and me and my hat. I keep laughing and hearing myself in the headphones

and it reminds me of Grandpa or Ripple. Oh, I laugh like that too, like old man. Oh, I do that. I've already done that a thousand times into this mic today. Me too. Yeah. There's so much wheezing. We are so Alberta.

White cowboy hats and wheezing. So Alberta. Hey, Siri, what's my name? You're Curtis, but you asked me to call you the Kurd Daddy. Yeah, you can't change that. I just wanted to hear it again. And you'll do it a few more times today. Okay.

Yes, he will. The popular 90s family TV series, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, was inspired by the creator's trip. Yeah, this is... It was inspired by the creator's trip to Medicine Hat, Alberta. And it's the reason Jane Seymour's character always wore a large hat. don't know anything about any of that other than medicine hats are real town and no false true i made it up oh i was lost i'm sorry i was like this is so sad do you know the game balderdash yeah of course i'm really good at it you are yeah okay we should play do you

my definition there well i was about to say you can't laugh i know but then is that my poker face where i laugh to trick you to think that you know okay so okay hey could we do during cms or something like a celebrity balderdash tournament funds go towards a good cause oh yes Great idea. Oh, I'm in. Count me in. Maybe we could live podcast it too. Yeah.

Always trying to pump on. Oh, yeah. Monetization. It'd be a lot better than like watching poker on TV. I agree. I think people would love it. Yeah. And everybody loves doing something for a good cause. By the way, I googled today to get that picture that I tweeted out that, of course, you noticed because you follow us so much on Twitter.

Watch every story religiously. Remember that time Curtis got an egg flipper? Yeah. He was a burger flipper, but good try. Whatever. It was one of those universal flippers. You could flip all kinds of stuff. Now we're just splitting hairs.

So today when I tried to Google to find that picture, I googled Caitlin Bristow High Valley. And guess what popped up? What? CMA Awards best dressed. Carrie Underwood, Caitlin Bristol High Valley. Boom. Really? Yes.

2016. We're on a list together. That's so great because I was on the worst dress list the year before that. Oh, man. Seriously? Why didn't I interview you guys that year? We're intimidated by how good our suits we're looking? You totally big time.

me that's true yeah you walked right past me i was like john party was like you are dangerously close to the bar i'm like that was a plan like that did not happen by accident oh you just name dropped john party cool wow unname drop him i had to interview him it was work yeah what an obligation oh man are you getting sarcasm yeah i got that one beep sarcasm do you have a song for that one brad This is the sarcasm segment Oh That was nice Wow

I like that one A lot All right Do you want me to Yeah keep going Oh yeah please Okay A town called St. Paul's

Has a landing pad for UFOs False If you remove the ass I'll say true What did I say? St. Paul's But I don't think there's a town in Alberta

of St. Paul's Yeah there is St. Paul Well then Google had it wrong That's a true story Really? Yeah And that said St. Paul's

Really? Yeah. I don't, I'm not a fan. Can you Google right now? Because I know you don't like adding S's, but I think you just committed. I'm not a fan of adding S's, and I wouldn't have done that. Caitlin, I'm texting you the best dressed high valley. It's St. Paul, Alberta.

Shut up. Really? Always adding S's. I'm embarrassed. Unless you're Googling St. Paul's Anglican Church, that showed up. So an Anglican Church has a landing pad for UFOs. Now I'm getting so many facts wrong. I'm going to have people from St.

Paul's being like, or St. Paul? Yeah. Oops. I keep doing it. The reason I know is because on CBC News and weather, they'd be like Cold Lake Bonneville, St. Paul. Oh. Oh, so you know the place. Well, I had never heard of it before.

Got me some flag here. You're missing out. Okay. Canadian country music star Shania Twain wrote her 1997 hit single that don't impress me much after a bad experience with room service at the Waldorf Hotel. I hope that's true. I'm going to say true. That's amazing. I'm going to say true as well.

I made it up. Good job. Thanks. What? Thanks. How did you make that up? My brain goes to weird places. Like, did you use any factual information to create that?

Well, the song. The Waldorf Hotel is in Ladoque, and that used to be a hilarious spot that we'd all go to because they didn't ID you, and we used to go there to underage drink. And so somehow the Waldorf Hotel entered my brain as some way to segue La Dukuk in there for Alberta, and then Chenaya Twain, Canada, country music. I don't know. But you know, like, the real Waldorf Hotel, Shania Twain would probably stay there, wouldn't she? Waldorf Astoria. Right, I forgot to say in LaDuke.

That would have probably... But either way. That's pretty cool. Either way it's false. Yeah. Seanovan, Saskatchewan had the Hilton, remember? It wasn't really a Hilton. Really?

It was at the Bible camp where they had like a bunch of mice running around and sleeping bags on the floor and they call it the Hilton. That's amazing. That's awesome. Oh, man. Okay, that was our game. We're done. We're done here.

You guys, you were very terrible at it. We were? No, Brad was good, Curtis. Yeah, I got one. You got one, right, right. Who's counting? Who cares about this game anyways? Let's get to some music, shall we?

Let's play NHL. I'm pretty good at that. Gamers. Okay, hashtag gamers. So before we get to the high valley performance, let's talk about quip, the electric toothbrush that packs premium vibration into an ultra-slim design that's half the cost of the bulkier brushes.

I guess obvious, but make you mind just because when we played it, not even, just now when people knew the song but even at first there was this feeling of what do you always trying to accomplish it's like you want people to feel like the song's famous and they knew it even when it isn't like the very first time and correct me if i'm wrong curtis but i think it felt for both of us like that oh yeah i mean that's that's my pick as well really yeah it's just it's the one song that the first time i heard it i just knew that i loved it yeah

And the first time we played it, like when we were rehearsing and getting ready for tour, the first time we played that song, it just felt great. Yeah. Like, it just felt right. Yeah. And people always say, don't you get sick of playing the same song so many times? You must get so bored of it. Some songs.

And not that one. That one's like each day it gets a little better because people know it better and better. Yeah, I, that is like to me that's a dream I've always had is singing a song and having a whole crowd singing it back to me. Like, that must be the best feeling in the world. Yeah, the first time it happened huge was Orlando. How do you hold it together? I would cry. We didn't quite cry, but we did a lot of the Taylor Swift-McColway Culkin face. Like, I'm so shocked because that's how we felt.

Oh. And that's your reaction? No, I definitely did not do this. I think we high-fived. I think we high-five. There you go. There you go. There wasn't a mirror, but we just actually gave each other real high-fives.

The old-school version, yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. And what song are you going to perform for us today? Ew. I mean, if you, I'm not exactly prepared. You pull up your guitar. 1,000. Hey, that's Anchorman.

Do that again. That's Anchorman when he pulls the flute out. Yes. Oh, amazing. Please do the guitar noise again. Oh, I was hoping you didn't catch on it. It was very like a band. We'll do it all together.

I like that. Oh, that's pretty good. I actually dig that. I might write a song with that exact melody. I think it's been done. 3,000 times. Yeah. I think that's just my go-to, like, typical banjo noise. We should grab that little audio clip and work it into a song.

The next album. Thank you. You'll get credit in the liner notes because everybody still buys physical albums. You know that. Oh, that was another confession that I didn't even write it down, but I was like, if I think about it, whatever. I met Good Charlotte, like years ago in Vancouver, like I was serving them or something in a restaurant.

And I was with some girlfriends around the table and we're talking to them. and I was like what music like what's your songs again and they said something and I was like oh yeah I burn that onto a CD and they're like yeah don't tell us that yeah we've had that too really oh so many times back in the day we'll never say to anyone ever again like five years ago people would constantly come through the line and be like yeah my friend bought the CD and burnt me a copy and I just love your song I'm pretty sure we've signed a burnt CD yeah we're like if you're going to steal somebody's music have it be ours yeah that's true I mean it's like if you take somebody's car and then drive it to their house and ask if they can clean it for you. Oh, that's, can you please clean this car? I did. Remember one time in the autograph line, I said that to a girl. She's like, hey, I know this is a burnt CD, but can you sign it for me? And I said, yeah, and I stole your dad's truck, but is that okay with you? And it was super awkward.

Oh, I love that, though. In your face. Because, yeah, in your face. All you need to do is just got to get them on, like, you know. Perspective. Yeah. Perspective. And common ground, you know?

Yeah, exactly. I hear you. They really bonded. They really bonded through that conversation. I'm sure. Or she's. stopped liking High Valley at all for the rest of the life. You lost a fan that day. Oops. Hey, have you told people about, not to like just change things, but have you told people

about your Sydney Crosby story? No. You never have? Maybe like my friends or something. Can you do it on here just because I think it's awesome? I've never heard it, so you can tell me for the first time. Okay. Then I'll make eye contact with you. Great. Just lock eyes. Yeah. Okay, so I used to work at this place called Cactus Club. Do you know it? Yeah. Okay. First restaurant I ever went to that had the revolving toilet seat covers. Oh, it's the best.

Great restaurant. I loved working for them. And I would train servers and bartenders and manage. And so I was training bartenders this one day. And the whole Pittsburgh team came and sat around the bar. And people were freaking out because, you know, in Edmonton, Alberta, hockey players are celebrities. Yeah. And Sidney Crosby walks into a bar and it's like, that's basically Wayne Gretzky, which is basically Tom Cruise.

It's like Michael Jackson coming back from It really is And people were losing their minds This was a Monday night And all of a sudden Cactus Club was like Hopping like It was packed We had a line up at the door

Because Sidney Crosby was sitting at the bar Yeah because everybody's texting everybody And let him know Right But it's so funny because people Weren't bombarding him They just wanted to see his presence Yeah

It was crazy Anyways so I love to take athletes down a notch I love to take people Like I served Tom Cruise once And I was like I'm going to pretend I have no idea who this guy guy is no idea that's amazing not in Edmonton this was in Vancouver and

so anyways he's sitting at the bar and this man across the bar goes oh my gosh can you please ask Sidney Crosby if I can like take a picture with him after he's done his meal whatever so I go back and I'm like just casually bartending talking to this girl who I'm working with and I'm like

is there like a like Sid or a Sydney Crosby or something and I'm he's sitting there and all the guys are like oh what she doesn't know who you are And I was like, I don't know, some guy wants a picture with a Sydney Crosby or something. I don't, I don't know. But anyways, this guy wants a picture.

And he's like, are you serious? He looked at me like, do you really not know I am? But he loved it. He was like, oh, like laughing, smiling. He's like, okay, just tell, I don't know, just tell him, sure. And he was so polite and kind, but he didn't know what to do because I was like, anyways. And all the guys around the bar were just dying laughing because they really thought I didn't know who he was. That's so good.

See, I think that's a great story. Yeah. I think that's a phenomenal. story. After I met you, that was when my wife is like, so what was she like? I told her that story. It's really cool because she did. And I love Sidney Crosby. Yeah, yeah. I just thought it was very ballsy. So do I. I love him too. But I was like, no chance. I'm going to let him know that. Exactly. I know how to play your little game. Yeah, because he was totally playing a game. Yeah, totally. They love Cactus Club bartenders.

Oh, man. Anyways, onto your music. Right. I would love if you guys could play me a little ditty. We shall. We will. She's with me. Is that what you're going to play? Oh, good. Yes. I didn't know. If that's all right.

Please. That's all right with the powers that be. I'm the power and I say yes. I would love that. Oh, man. Okay, so Brad and Curtis, high valley, are going to play their song. She's With Me, which is Top 20 at Country Radio. Very impressive.

When it all was right Did I ruin the ending? No, that was great. That was so good. I will never yihaw ever, I promise you, but I will ye you. That was so good. That sounds like when I'm listening, it sounds like there's more than just two people and two guitars.

We were lip-sinking old time. You know what it is? The mandolin has eight strings, but only four notes. So there's two strings playing each note. Totally what did it. So it totally just fools you. Now I'm like, are you being sarcastic and I just don't get it? You know what? I don't know. Maybe it is the reason, but I doubt that it is.

I don't know, but it sounds amazing. Thanks. Yeah, that was really cool. Okay, well, I won't make you stand any longer, but... This has got more intense, that's for sure. All I want to know is where, like, I just want everybody listening to listen to your music and where is the best place for them to find it. What do you want to tell the peeps?

I mean, we're all over the place. iTunes, Spotify, Instagram, Twitter. Is your Instagram? I follow you, but I can't remember. High Valley official. Yeah. Official? Yeah.

And on Twitter, too? Twitter's just, if you just search High Valley, you'll find it. You'll find it. Everything's just High Valley, but there's a girl on Twitter who won't give up regular High Valley, so we have to use High Valley Official. Oh, isn't that annoying? Yeah. Yeah, she has like a picture of a dog, and her last post was like nine months ago. Yeah.

Maybe it's nine years by now, but. That was the same thing with me for Off the Vine. Oh, yeah? Yeah, she wouldn't give it up. Whatever. Her loss. Yeah. I agree.

We've tried to get in contact with this girl, but it's not happening. I would have, there were so many questions people had, but I could just be repeating myself. The only question I remember that I was like, ooh, I need to ask them that. You got to tour with Tim McGraw and Faith. Yes. That's incredible. Yes.

That's like what dreams are made of, if you ask me. It's very close, for sure. Oh, what would be the dream? Doing a duet with Taylor Swift on our next record. Oh, let's put it out there. Okay, we're putting it out into the universe. Do you know, T. Swift? No.

Okay. I pretend I do. Yeah. Definitely don't. Actually, I met her. We met at the Billboard Awards. But she said, hey, Tay, somebody. Yeah, I was like, what, I'm sorry, what's your name?

Just take her down a nod. Taylor Schwiff. I just got to Brad for a second. Yeah, please. Somebody tweeted out. They did an HBO special of Tim and Faye. Yeah, and you guys were on it? Brad was.
