So tell us about the song, Your Mama. Wow. Your Mama. It's going to be great for radio stations to have like Your Mama jokes because radio always loves a great setup. Fresh library of jokes. Yeah. It's going to be so much cooler than that because we've been playing it live and And it literally does make people cry.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Yeah. Oh, I almost cried. I'm not saying that's our goal, but it is kind of awesome. No, you feel it. It's our goal with this song. I mean, it's not our overarching goal, but I think. You want to cut to the core of people when they listen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:34 And this is the song people come, like, through the autograph line, and this is the song they're talking about. Yeah. Like 100% of the time. We've just played for 75 minutes, and all they talk about is three minutes of the show. So I guess it could have saved some time. Suck to be all our other songs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Yeah, honestly. Do you have, do you have like a whole new album coming out? Yeah, we do. A single man was the first song off of it. Yeah. Your mom is a second, obviously, for those of you, counting. And it's just, it's true for us. We each have two kids and our wives are, I mean, as you know, everybody knows,
Starting point is 00:06:11 moms work quite a bit harder than the husbands in the relationship. And people always ask, like, does your wife work or is she? I hate that. I'm like, she's a stay-at-home mom, but she works her butt. Yeah, exactly. My kids currently have four days of football a week and three days of baseball,
Starting point is 00:06:28 and there's still only seven days in a week. Yeah, moms are heroes. They really are. Honestly, like sometimes Miranda will go hang out with her girlfriends or something, and I'm home with the kids for like half a day. And I'm like, how do you do this like 24 hours a day? Yeah, moms don't get days off.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Yeah. Like I love my kids and we have a lot of fun, but I crave, like, adult interaction so much. How old are you guys kids? Mine are five and two and another one due to January. Yes, congratulations. Mine are 10 and seven. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:04 And I try and, like, I'm always very, even on social media, I'll be like, make sure you, you know, stay fit and eat healthy and all this stuff. And the moment I have the kids, it's like, we're ordering pizza and we're bringing coke. And guess what? We're going to Dairy Queen because I'm a cool dad. And I tell Rebecca all the time, if I was in. charge like you are most of the time about what they're eating, you know, because I'm I'm off
Starting point is 00:07:25 and she's getting care of everything. All my principles in life would go out the window because for me it's like, hey, honey, could you do all those things and make this amazing healthy food that tastes great? But when I'm in charge, it's like, oh, shoot, hey good boys, want to go do something fun and we leave the house, do fun things. And she always hates how I get to be like the cool dad. I know. It's not fair because moms always have to be, well, especially with their if their husbands are traveling and on the road all the time, they have to be the person who keeps everything in line and then the dad gets to come home for a couple of minutes
Starting point is 00:07:58 and then you do all the fun stuff with them and then you go again. Yeah, that's true. Or my main, like, I mean, I have lots of negatives, but one very obvious one is I come home after being gone for five or six days. I'm like, well, why aren't they doing that? They should have done their own?
Starting point is 00:08:11 And all this time, like, disciplinary dad. And Rebecca's like, hey, just so you know, everything was great when you weren't here and I have everything under control and you don't need to walk in in 10 seconds and think you can fix everything that's not perfect. Very fair, very fair.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Can I tell you something? The other day I was talking to Jason about when my niece was really young and she was three and I don't know. The weird things go through my brain of like the weirdest things come through my brain and then he's like, is that seriously stuff you think about? And I'm like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:39 And for example, I was telling him that when my sister was pregnant and she had the baby, I was like, I can't wait to teach her these like hilarious comebacks and like she's going to be so chirp. And so I couldn't wait until she could talk because I wanted her to say, your mom for everything. Like, who made the mess? Your mom?
Starting point is 00:08:57 And Jason was like, I don't get it. And he didn't get that there's like your mama jokes. He didn't get that. He was like, I've never heard of that. Wow. Like, he wasn't a sheltered child. Are you sure? Well, I'm questioning it now.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I think he may have been. He didn't get your mama jokes. I was like, Google it. Yeah, that's going to be the thing for sure. Oh, yeah, radio stations are going to have a field day with that one. Yeah, High Valley and your mama coming up, you know, all the time. Yeah, yeah, they're going to love it. But whatever, once people actually listen to the song, then they'll love it.
Starting point is 00:09:28 We, like, sang your mama jokes in sound check and stuff. That's perfect. You guys should have, like, a little outtake of, like, your mama jokes in a song. We should have Your Mama Volume 2, where we just sing the jokes. Just get it out there over with and then we can move on. And people can cry again from the other version. Just go back and forth. very different tears this time. Yeah. Everybody keeps asking us if they can have this song
Starting point is 00:09:52 ahead of time for like their mother-son dances at weddings. Oh, yeah. Which, you know, we never had dances at our weddings. I didn't even know that was a thing. But is that, I don't father. Minnetites don't dance. Yeah. Oh, right, right, right. It's very high, it's highly illegal. Right. I forgot about that. So what did your weddings look like? If you ever don't know for sure that Miner Nights don't dance, come to a High Valley show and watch us walk around on stage, you'll be like, yep, those guys never dance growing up i can hardly i can hardly strum a guitar and step forward oh because it's too much choreography for you yeah like whoa that's so if we ever went to a backstere boy show our heads would explode tell me now what what is the what was the reason behind not dancing i think the same reason
Starting point is 00:10:36 you don't have electricity or um you know do anything cool simple like yeah simple like because i mean for people who don't know just for the record we my kids dance all day long oh yeah And we listen to a lot of Post Malone on our way to school in the morning. I love Post Malone. Things have progressed. Yes, they have. Well, you're also in Nashville. It's a little bit different from where, okay, tell.
Starting point is 00:11:00 I know people probably heard you on the first podcast, but just kind of give a background of your childhood. I, I even like hearing it for the second or third time. So tell us about how you grew up. The road got paved now. No way. So for everybody listened to the first podcast, we told you that we had 150 miles of gravel and then another quite a few hundred miles and then you get to the airport well now they paved the gravel the whole way wow you're a big time now my wife and i had two i think it was two
Starting point is 00:11:28 christmases ago that they first time we were up there since the pave yeah and we kept track at one like family union a christmas party and i think there was like 10 or 15 times different people mentioned how convenient it was now that there was pave going to the airport the talk of the town like yeah i made it to the airport in six and a half hours now that it's paved right and it used to be eight hours to the airport now you can do it's uh it's 420 miles no that's so crazy so how often do you get home like once a year and you have to do that eight hour well now six and a half i have this baller friend who hooked me up big time with a private little airplane and they picked us up in edmonton and flew us in and the airport in lecrete oh which is you know a landing strip yeah um is like two minutes from mom and dad's house
Starting point is 00:12:15 So they picked us up there. It was minus 40 when we land it. Actually, with Apple's weather app, if you check the weather in La Crete, it says Lecrete Airport. I don't know why. I have no idea. Do you know why? That must be where the little thermometer is that the Apple guy's like, hey, Lucrete guy, what's
Starting point is 00:12:31 a temperature? That's so funny. And so, wait, that blows my mind that there's an airport. It's not an airport. It's a place to land and then a strip. Yeah. There's a shop with a guy's, I think he's got a Camaro parked in there and an airplane. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:12:44 That's kind of cute. I was at an airport in the Bahamas in this one random little, at this one island, and you just walk in. It's just one tiny little room, and then the plane behind it. But when we walked in, there was just a broken, like, crashed plane. And I walked in, I'm like, ah, you might want to move that. It was just an absolute crashed plane, just like right to the right of the plane we were getting on. Maybe it's kind of like how on cigarettes it says, this will kill you, please buy a pack or whatever. So maybe it's saying like, this plane is very dangerous.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Now get on. Which, by the way, they don't do that in the States. That's only Canada, that they have those images on the... I just saw in the news they're changing it here. Oh, okay. Well, good. Anyways, back to your childhood. So just explain kind of...
Starting point is 00:13:28 So you had no electricity as children. No, no. Cigarette boxes. I'm just... We did. We definitely. Our mom and dad grew up in Mexico. It started at the beginning.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Yep. They had no electricity. Horse and buggy. the whole nine yards. Grandpa bought a truck, weren't supposed to have a truck. They rode the truck from Mexico all the way to Canada.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Yeah. Not crazy Canada, just like... Southern Canada. By Detroit. Southern Ontario. Okay. Yeah, right by Detroit.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Yeah. Then our grandpa got like almost free farmland way up in the north. So we're from, if you look at Juno, Alaska, we're the same line as Juneau. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:06 So it's called Alberta, but it may as well be the Northwest Territories. And it's a little town called Lucrete. And we grew up very old school but with electricity with vehicles all that stuff speaking german germans the main language in our town all all mininites and everybody speaks german is that a fact that is a fact
Starting point is 00:14:25 we we used to do backstreet boys in german all the time i knew you guys spoke german but i didn't know that was the like language that's like the minnonite language it's a dialect of german so it's not the germany german but it's uh it's like dutch german yeah how do you say your mama in german You kind of, we say mom still. We'd say Dino. Dina, Mama. Dina Allen is your parents. Oh.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Dina Allern. My wife never knew English until she went to public school. Really? Yeah. Oh, no way. All German all day. All right. When you guys aren't listening to my podcast, are you looking for something else to fill in the time and entertain you?

Watch the most anticipated series return Sundays at 10 only on E. We'll be back with more Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. You're listening to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. And you guys met your wives in school, like high school. school. I met mine at a music festival. She came up. I didn't know this. Yeah, we played in Fort St. John. She's
Starting point is 00:16:17 from British Columbia. And we played a show. It was a lot of old people at the show. It was a very kind of Mennonite gospel, jamboree, super old school crowd, except this one dropped at gorgeous 16-year-old girl. Yeah. And I was 16. I was in 11th grade, and it was right towards the end of the school year. And so she came up to our little merch stand after we were selling CDs, and we had just got a poster made like an 8 by 10 glossy and she bought it glassy it was five bucks was the someday photo shoot yeah okay so i so i she still have it she does she does oh i love that we have it in a hope chest in our we should tweet that photo because we've talked about it a lot Curtis really loves the photo Brad's in the center and his we're kind of like
Starting point is 00:17:04 I don't know if we were kneeling on the floor but like Brad's like sticking his face out like this and then his 16-year-old Adams apples, like just in your face. In your face. I signed directly over the Adams apples, so it kind of. To hide it a little bit. But she dug it, apparently. She was loving it because she stuck around and, like, kind of hung out there with me. And then I'm not sure what the transition was.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I'd love to remember so I could teach my kids how to pick up chicks because apparently it was pretty similar. She went from, hey, can I buy that, please, to getting my autograph, to writing my nickname on my bicep with a Sharpie, like a tattoo. too. And then she took a greyhound to La Crete to see Brad. That's a couple months later. Wait, that's very, like, that's a minute.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Oh, I thought it was the next moment. Wait, what was your nickname? Brodla, it's German for Brad. Oh, I thought it was like, bro, something. I was like, oh, no. It's fake. There's your confession. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Can't wait, say it again. Brodla? Oh. Brodla. Brodla. Oh, Brodla. I was in kindergarten. Nice.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Every kid, every minute I kid has like a traditional biblical, old school name that you can say in German and Bradley you can't so apparently this kid on the bus said what's your name in German and the bus driver overheard me lie to the kid and say prola so then she calls she calls my mom and for the rest of my life I've been called brodla by all my buddies because they're like you'd almost get teased if you weren't German enough and if your name if you didn't have a German version of your name then and what was yours are you uh I Curtis is a very English name but My grandmother called me, called me when she was still alive. She called me Curtis.
Starting point is 00:18:45 It's very hard to do. I can't do that one. Curtis. I can't do that one. She was a lot better at it than I am. I'm just remembering this because I went to take ramen out to try and go to the bathroom. I love that one of you drives a rangerover and the other drives this little beat-up truck. Whose is whose?
Starting point is 00:19:00 I can guess. Okay. Guess. Curtis drives the truck. Brad drives the railroad. Nailed it. Nailed it. Five stars.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Yeah. That's so funny. Curtis is also the one who wore socks and his sandals. We did a poll yesterday. That's cool now. Is it? Yeah, that's... I don't know that it's cool the way I do it, but...
Starting point is 00:19:18 Oh, but yours was more probably like dad vibes. He wasn't doing the Antonio Brown version. He was doing more... They were gray and black socks in black Walmart, uh, burkenstock knockoff sandals, and I was wearing Wranglers. So, wow. I don't know if that's like... That's just like dad style.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Yeah, it was, but I mean, it was a red eye, and I was like, I don't care what I look like. I want to be as comfortable as I possibly can on this plane, and those wranglers are incredibly comfortable. Ranglers are comfortable? Those ones are. I would pick, yeah, Brad's shaking his head. Yeah, they're really soft cotton. Are they like sweat pant ranglers? I mean.
Starting point is 00:19:57 I think you just created something. Compared to the traditional wrangler, yeah, they're almost like sweatpants. Wait, that is a good idea. They should come out with something like. Sweat pat rangers also sounds like a bad name. That's a good band name. I go see him at the station in. Didn't you do a little clip video of my socks?
Starting point is 00:20:12 Yeah, I did. There was a poll. It was 82% voted that Curtis was the one wearing because we didn't show the face. It was just the feat. And people got it right. But also that way when the Uber driver dropped him off at his truck, it matched better. Yeah. And is that your main vehicle?
Starting point is 00:20:29 Yes. I love that. You're so humble. Brad, you're such a little. You're such a little diva. And your little range rover. Oh, man, at least it's a little. I bet my truck is, Brad, what do you think my truck is worth?
Starting point is 00:20:43 To you or to, like... To Craigslist. Yeah. 500 bucks. Yeah? 500 bucks. Anything that moves, you can get 500 bucks. It's got just over 200,000 miles.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Sorry, 600 bucks, that's wrong. I just spent, I just put a new transmission in it for, what was it? It was over 2 grand. What? Yep. Are you, like, really, like, attached to this truck? It has its own link on Instagram. What's it called the highlight thing on Instagram?
Starting point is 00:21:11 Oh, yeah, highlight real? It's called Elvis. My truck's name is Elvis. The ceiling liner, I can show you when we're done. Okay. But the ceiling liner has been re-opoldered by the previous owner, I'm pretty certain. Yeah. And it's Elvis fabric.
Starting point is 00:21:24 So there's like Elvis in the military and there's 30 of his face just staring at me while I'm driving. Watching over him. If you didn't name it in Elvis. Yeah, I know, right? Yeah. So his name's Elvis. he's he's very unique one of a kind yeah um i really point a to point b he sure does uh as long as all the parts are working which they weren't recently but hey i fixed it and you have no desire to
Starting point is 00:21:49 get a new one i don't i i like that i can smack elvis with a two by four and some of the paint will fall onto the ground yeah and nobody cares yeah i like that because other than the viewers on instagram they love it can we smack your car with a two by four you know what mine is also very Unique. And what's, what's his name? My vehicle does not have a name. What? Granger Smith, I named it.

Starting point is 00:22:20 I was like, wow, what a name. That's good. Or Ranger Smith. I can't remember. What was the one? Me and Kim Kardashian have the same vehicle, and I feel like that's all that matters at this point. Yeah. That matters in?

Starting point is 00:23:24 80s. Ninety-192. Have you guys ever seen the Instagram account called like Fashion Dads or something? No. Oh, you should follow. it's amazing. They've got a lot of good sweaters going out there. Do they? Do they have socks and sandals? I'm sure.

Starting point is 00:24:09 We're just different. We're weird. Yes, but not with each other. Like what makes you, what do you guys have in common? Parents. Parents. Actually, we listen to very different music probably. Really?
Starting point is 00:24:22 I mean, my kids literally are in charge of everything. Like, we did a playlist for, I want to say, Billboard. It was something very cool. Yeah. And they were like, pick 25 songs for your playlist. and I literally was sitting out of the pool and I said, hey, boys, 25 songs and they just rattle them off
Starting point is 00:24:37 and I send in the email was like 30 seconds it took me to do the whole thing. Settle flex that you have a pool? Yes. Very subtle. Range Rover and a pool, okay. Everybody in this town has a pool.
Starting point is 00:24:48 It's not that. Kate, do they really? I'd say a lot of, yes. I mean, it's 100 degrees every day. I know. Jason was just saying nobody in this town has a pool. I'm like, I fly over Nashville and see so many pools.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I want one. Go on. Here's a deal. I'm not saying everybody, as a pool, but most neighborhoods are built around a pool. Yeah. So when you say the pool, I don't feel like you're showing off. It just means you don't sit in air conditioning your entire life.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Oh. You just go outside to the nearest pool. Okay. Does that make sense? Yep. No, I will flex and say, thank you. Thanks to your podcast for promoting our previous songs. People downloaded them enough for me to buy a pool.
Starting point is 00:25:24 So you pretty much. I mean, that's my pool. Yeah, yeah, you pretty much are. It's your pool. I can come hang out in that pool whenever I want. Absolutely. Amazing. same wait i interrupted you though what were you saying um they did the i don't have my own musical taste
Starting point is 00:25:37 as much as i used to yeah i have more of oh wow my kids are teaching me about new music and then i go write music every day and that's kind of my i take what i've learned from them and what i know about old school country and kind of mix it together wow that's great i feel like you still have more of your own musical taste yeah yeah i i i'm all over the place like one day i'm listening to NF and then the next day I'm listening to Ricky Skaggs and god I love Ricky Skaggs yeah um I've been on a pretty serious bluegrass kick for a little bit now um we just did a bluegrass version of single man uh awesome and Ricky Skaggs executive produced it and since that day we were in the studio with all these bluegrasers and I haven't hadn't really like really listened to bluegrass for a couple of years
Starting point is 00:26:23 honestly and so now I've just been kind of zoned into it for like the last month and um it's fun all right We all know that finding time in our busy lives to workout is impossible. With all the travel I do, it feels especially impossible to have a routine. And not all of us can afford fancy $40 studio classes, plus the time suck it takes to drive there and park, or a $1,000 treadmill. Enter Obay.

Starting point is 00:28:26 That's why I like it. It's like, it should remind you of a throwback situation at the same time. Hopefully it's cutting edge. Yeah. It's like, yeah, layering old school vibes, you know, rhythmic mandolins and banjos and all this stuff with the pretty heavy backbeat. And, yeah, it's cool and hip and old-fashioned at the same time. That's why I love it.
Starting point is 00:28:47 I love it. It's like if two men and I brothers from the wilderness found people with technology in Nashville. And listen to Post Malone. If we did get sleeve tattoos, I bet our mom. would feel religiously okay to chop our arms off. I always tell people
Starting point is 00:29:04 I can either have a mom or a tattoo and I choose to have a mom. Yeah, that your mom wouldn't probably like me then. And I'm pretty sure dad's the same but he's just so quiet and she loves everybody. Yeah, she really is.
Starting point is 00:29:17 But we, I mean, it's that thing. You want to, everybody evolves, right? You grow up, you go to college unless you're us, but normal people go to college. I didn't go to college. You didn't? No, we're all doing. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:29:28 In my high school class, 50 people, 100 people in 10th grade, 50 graduated, okay, high school. Really? Yeah, because once you're old enough to drive, you can make so much money working in the oil field or in a logging camp or running a heavy machinery. Yeah, yeah. That is really hard to convince, especially the dudes, to stick around and get an education because their goals are, you know, to work. Right, right. And the ladies up there, it's still very normal to get married young, have tons of kids and be a stay-at-home mom. So they lose.
Starting point is 00:29:58 The whole concept of everybody going to college was so foreign to me. Right. It was like, I had two kids go to college, I think, like I've straight up college out of our grad class. Really? That's so interesting. And zero of them were me. And zero. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:12 There was a few more in my grad class, but still a pretty bad, pretty low ratio. Whereas my kids, it's like, you need to go to college, which for them, they think that means they go play college football. They don't understand that. It means there's actually. other stuff at college. Yeah, but that's, I think that's so, I feel like that would make a kid want to go to college, though, if they can go for a sport. Oh, yeah, that's all they talk about.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Yeah. Every single day, they talk about which college they'll play for and which guy in the NFL played for LSU and. And they're good, right? They are good. Yeah. He said it, not me. You're allowed to say it?
Starting point is 00:30:47 Okay, they're very good. Yeah. I feel like I see it on, well, you've talked about it before, but I see obviously social media, but they're like, I mean, they're very committed, too. They play a lot. They're playing travel baseball now, and they have actual major league retired coaches. Look at him. He's so cute.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Ramen, can he hear me in there? Roman, sit down. Ramen, hey. Oh, look you know. Just tried in Korean. I tried. I like Googled how to say certain things in Korean to see if you'd listen. Hey, Roman, stop.
Starting point is 00:31:18 I don't know why he's being so crazy today. He doesn't usually bark this much. I think he's fine. And he looks like the dog on the cover of a dog's purpose. I know Is that the one They're coming out With a movie, right?
Starting point is 00:31:29 Oh no, I'm Yeah, they already did I know which one you're talking about I'm the art of racing in the rain Yeah, I can't wait to see that one Meelow then whatever Yes, I love Milo and I love that book I've read it twice
Starting point is 00:31:39 And I'm so excited about the movie My son's two favorite things Are you dog movies and race cars So Are you serious? Yeah Well, you have to take them Yep
Starting point is 00:31:48 That's amazing Yep And you guys are You were on tour with Old Dominion Yeah, and we just saw them actually last week. They're awesome. Really? They sound better, in my opinion, they sound, them in Little Big Town sound the best live.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Everybody's like amazing entertainers, and I'm not saying any of them aren't great live. But a lot of people are like so good at entertaining that it's more useful than... Just musically, them and Little Big Town are next level. I love that. Yeah. And those are the two people we've done the most shows with ever, I think. Really? And were they, they're obviously fun to go on tour with.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Yeah, there's such great guys. We played hockey with Trevor all over the place. Oh, no way. He used to play hockey in college. No way. Like straight up Div 1 college, so he's for real. Wow. Like made us look horrific.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Oh, yeah. Wow. So what, you guys just go on the road and play some ice hockey in between? Yeah, because everywhere you play. We're playing in arenas and stuff. A lot of newer arenas, if you're playing in nice places, have a little separate rink somewhere. Yeah. It's awesome.
Starting point is 00:32:52 That's so much fun. And you get so bored just being backstage is way cooler to go play off. Was that your favorite part of touring? It's just being able to go do stuff like that on the side. I think it made it quite memorable compared to other tours we've been on. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's the only tour we've played hockey on. My favorite part of that tour was they have, and I don't mean there's in a beef cake way,
Starting point is 00:33:13 but they had a trainer and a separate trailer with fitness gear and multiple guys from the tour working out. So you felt like a good. kind of buddy system motivation. That's cool. It was fun. Because you're quite into working out. I am, but normally if I'm at home, I have my wife to work out with. And on the road, I don't.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Right. Because I haven't convinced anybody in our band yet to be my workout partner. Chris, you just don't like working out? No, I just, yeah, I don't really like it. That's fair. So all the old Dominion guys do and all the Michael Ray guys do. So then there was just like 20 guys working out. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Michael Ray, doesn't he just like, that guy's pretty jacked. Yeah. Yeah. I always see him doing his workout stuff. Or it could just be all the tattoos he have on his arm. It's an optical illusion. Yeah, exactly. He might just have really skinny arms.
Starting point is 00:34:00 It's the rockering. Yeah, it's an optical illusion. It's the pleat and the pants. Just kidding, Michael. It's the tattoo. Michael's listening right now, so I'm sorry. No, I want to have him and Carly on there. So are they really not in love?
Starting point is 00:34:12 Are they dating? I don't know if you guys have noticed, but they really love each other. Are they in a relationship? I'm not sure. According to social media, I'm going to go ahead and say yes. Those two are, I mean, they are just... We knew Carly before she was head over heels in love with Michael Ray. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:29 When she was... She said she hated him. Yeah, she said he... Just kidding. I was like, oh my God, breaking news. This is the headline for my podcast. It's how I'm going to get downloads. We both got to town at kind of the same time, had the same producer, and we love bluegrass so much.
Starting point is 00:34:43 And she had that Kentucky thing going on. Yeah, totally. You can Google this. I have gone on record probably a thousand times saying, Hey, who's your favorite artist right now? And I'd always say Carly Pierce. Really? I love her.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Thrilled for every beautiful thing happening in her life. Totally. And Michael's awesome. They're both just such sweet people. Yeah. Like just sweethearts. And then tell me about your newest single, single man, and tell us about what inspired you to write it and what it's about.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Because it sounds like something different than what it is. Same thing with your mama. Hashtag country switcheroo. Country switcheroo. Yeah. Okay. I like it. It's kind of, you honestly go for that.
Starting point is 00:35:19 When you're writing a song, you try. at least in this town, you're like, but what's the little twist? What's going to be the thing that makes people go, ah. Yes. And we had flown in a red eye for some reason, and I'm not complaining California is like where we play all the time, more than anywhere in the world. And we flew in on a red eye and I had booked a 9 a.m. co-write. Oh.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Big mistake. Yeah. I went to bed. I even know like that's like, why would you do that? Because it was with two. It was with Ashley Goreley and Krista Stefano, and Ashley's had like 40 number of. one hits. Oh, okay. Then you got to do it. Yeah. But they only had two hours to finish the song. Okay. So we wrote from 9 till 11 and then I had my second co-write of the day. Oh,
Starting point is 00:35:59 geez. That was when we wrote single man. Oh, cool. But we didn't finish it the first time because the guys told, man, they know that I'm not like this, but the next time they're like, dude, you look like stoned out of your mind when you got in your life. I guess I was glazed over and just like looked like I needed to lay down somewhere. So we never finished it the first time, but we got another day and the whole point of the song was, you know, hopefully. non-bragadocious way saying I'm so stinking thankful for
Starting point is 00:36:26 the lady in my life that I legitimately don't think I could find a single man out there who wouldn't want to switch places. Oh, that's so cute. That just gave me goosebumps. Nice. Goose flesh is what... Goose flesh. That sounds gross. We got a... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:42 We got a... It is gross. We got a message on MySpace years ago. Yeah. From a European fan. I don't know what country do you remember i'm sure it's all the same anyway they're like just kidding i'm trying to be like there was like this nice broken english message and then uh towards the end it said your music gives me goose flesh in that exact accent on my space that's so funny whatever country that accent was
Starting point is 00:37:06 okay goose flesh that's gross but i can keep that but relatable yeah i'm just imagining like a goose like that you're about to eat and it's just fleshy it's like you know when you buy a chicken Do you buy chicken or turkey for Thanksgiving? Yeah. I'm just imagining the goose in the plastic. Yeah. Curtis doesn't have to buy chickens anymore, though, because he has his own cage-free, organic, certified, gluten-free.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Can I buy it? Can I buy your eggs? Yeah. N-uh. For real. You should get them for free. You can have them for free. I'll totally do a swipe up on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:37:40 If you like eggs. Yeah. I got eggs for you. We got eggs every day. Hey, guys. Everybody's been asking me where my eggs are from. Swipe up. That's so funny.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Yeah, just swipe up with my own personal address and then everybody can come to my house. Come get some eggs. Yeah. How many chickens do you have? 21. Whoa. 21 chickens. You're going to be like two?
Starting point is 00:38:03 You have 21 chickens? Who wants to eat only two eggs a day? That's boring. Yeah, I guess I didn't even think about that. Do you have a lot of land today? Would you like an omelet? We don't have enough. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:38:12 You guys know how much I love my dog ramen. And by love, I mean, I'm obsessed. Sometimes my friends even get jealous of how much time I spend with him, not going to lie. So of course, ramen's health is way too important to feed him some highly processed burnt brown kibble for every meal. That's why I switched to the farmer's dog. It's real food, cooked fresh and delivered right to my door. I think ramen actually eats healthier than I do. The farmer's dog meals are made from fresh meat and veggies. There's no wondering what's in ramen's food because I can actually see and identify every ingredient.
Starting point is 00:38:42 No processing, no sitting on shells for months at a time, just real fresh food. And my dog's transition to a fresh diet was super easy. The farmer's dog worked with top vets to create a complete and balanced meal for your dog so you know they're getting the nutrition that they need to thrive and ramen is clearly thriving. Bonus, it's pre-portion for them so you don't have to worry about under or overfeeding and it's easy with a busy schedule. I do have to say their customer service is amazing. I always look for good customer service in companies. You can text, email or call them anytime and they'll pair you with a pet expert who can help. I've been feeding this food to ramen for a few months now, actually, and the results have been very impressive.
Starting point is 00:39:21 He's got a smoother coat. His breath is actually fresh. I'm not just saying that. Come smell it. See for yourself. And he's got better poops. And with plans starting just at $3 a day, less than a morning coffee, I'm able to make it work with my family. It's a small price to pay for a long-term investment in my dog's health.

Now back to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. Do you have other animals? I have two pregnant cows.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Do you? Yep. And right now we're horse sitting, two horses. Oh, my gosh. Horse sitting. Yeah. I'm qualified. Just kidding.
Starting point is 00:40:52 I'm not. I just have dirt. And grass, thankfully. Okay, yes. You need that. We've got an old hound dog. We got a couple cats. One of our cats just had a litter because neighbor's cat came by.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Whoops. Whoops. A baby. That's the confession right there. That you accidentally got your cat pregnant? He didn't put it in a minute. Come on. Settle down.
Starting point is 00:41:15 That's a real confession. But your neighbor's cat just wandered over, no. I'm assuming because cats don't have babies without that kind of stuff happening. Could be a miracle. Yeah, you never know. Those cats get around, man. It's crazy. Not quite as aggressive as your dog, but they are some pretty feisty. Wow, so you got a lot of animals. Do you have animals, Brad? We're very different.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Okay. We do not have any animals. No, none. We did have a turtle for one day. Two times we've had boxer turtles, they're called, that have wandered in. from the back. Oh, okay. There's a creek kind of in the neighborhood, and turtles are out there.
Starting point is 00:41:52 So my kids get this turtle, and then my wife Googles turtles and how many diseases they have. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we didn't have a turtle anymore. Do they carry a lot of diseases? Yes, right on top of their shell. Like salmonella. Actually, are you serious or not?
Starting point is 00:42:07 No, I don't know where they are. I heard something. Maybe in their armpits. There's another animal that carries a lot of. Oh, Armadillo's carry a lot of diseases, too. We had one of those caught in our window. Like, we have a basement in the window box that, like, you know. So my wife, it's three in the morning, and she hears bang, bang, bang, on the glass in the basement, freaks out, calls our neighbors, they don't answer.
Starting point is 00:42:27 It keeps on happening. So she calls our best friends or our neighbors a little further down. My buddy Ben comes over, forgets his gun in the house, because she says there's somebody broke into her house in basement. She stays upstairs. Yeah, oh, that's terrifying. And he comes in, forgets his gun at his house, and asks for the sharpest knife that Rebecca has. So he grabs a butcher knife and goes downstairs and standing there in, like, the ready position. What is the ready position?
Starting point is 00:42:53 Yeah. It's elbow at 90 degrees forward from shoulder, feet, shoulder width apart, you know. Yeah. And so he's ready to murder somebody, but they quit making any noise. And he's about to leave and give up and be like, hey, you must be just going nuts. Yeah. Then they hear it again. and it's an armadillo trapped in the window bottle.
Starting point is 00:43:13 So that was pretty bad. Just putting diseases on your window. I know. So if you come to our house when you use our pool, do not ever lick the windows of windows. Thank God you told me. So many people are doing it. It's not recommended.
Starting point is 00:43:25 It's the new thing. It's the new fat. Everyone's licking windows. So we sort of have animals, armadillos. Okay. We had three crabs. Whenever we go to the beach, our son's bodies. Dude, you got more animals than I'm going to hide you.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Yours just aren't invited. They all died. He's got moles in his pool. We have a lot of dead animals at our place. See, that's the difference. You get animals that you want on purpose, then all those other animals are too scared to come visit. Yeah. I am also an animal that is scared of cats, so.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Yeah. You're scared of cats? I legitimately am. I sometimes am. Just depends on the cat. Yeah, our cats are super chill. Apparently cats keep rat snakes away. Yeah, I'm totally good with that.
Starting point is 00:44:07 And mice, obviously. Yeah. No, I'd be good. I would get a cat if I had a lot of land. Yeah. Yeah. I am assertifiably freaked out of cats, I would say, like a legitimate... Did you have something happened to you? Yes, lots of times with cats.
Starting point is 00:44:21 There you go. I don't know. Did we talk about this last time? I feel we did. Yeah, we lied on our first ever rider. That was our confession. Wait, I wanted to. We used to lie that I was allergic to animals. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:32 So that people wouldn't have cats around me because I would, like, jump. Like, I could easily dunk on a 10-foot rim, if you put a cat on the basketball court. Oh, well, that's something. Yeah. That's a skill. That's not a confession. They always show up when I don't know they're going to be there.
Starting point is 00:44:47 They smell your fear. I have a confession. I'm really athletic when there's cats around. I do have a pretty decent confession. Okay, I'm ready for it. For many years, I have been not lying, but what's the word? when you withhold, being dishonest to WestJet airlines. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:13 We fly with Delta all the time. Yeah. So, you know, that's actually how we met. Yeah, exactly. I'm like, haven't seen you there in a while. Yeah. So we get all the free upgrades and you get spoiled. But on WestJed, they don't have first class.
Starting point is 00:45:27 So every time I go on a WestJet and I do this, and it takes about five minutes out of my day, but it's so worth it. Yeah. Right before we board, I walk up and I say, hey, I'm Diamond on Delta, but I don't see my name on the upgrade list. Yeah. And then they explain, well, sorry, we're a partner with Delta, but we don't have first class, so we actually don't have an upgrade list. You have to pay for these extra seats.
Starting point is 00:45:49 The premium plus. Premium plus. And I say, okay, and I turn around. And they say, you know what? And I get the premium plus for free. It's probably happened 20 times. No, you're joking. I'm dead serious.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Oh, I'm using that because I always fly Delta and sometimes I'm on WestJet. And you know what pisses me off is you don't get the MQMs or whatever when you're doing WestJet. So, yeah, if you just ask nicely about why you're not getting something for free, and they explain to you. And you drop the diamond status, which I am. Yeah, exactly. And I don't know, because I thought, you know, you could just pay for it. And it's like, man, but this works so good.
Starting point is 00:46:24 So I just kept trying it. Yeah. And now we're doing a flyaway with WestJet. We're doing a trip to Maui with WestJet. So I told all the, like, amazing ladies at WestJet about this. I said, if I tell you a story, do you promise you won't, like, tell anybody? But now I'm telling the entire world, I guess. Yeah, the entire world listens to the podcast.
Starting point is 00:46:42 So now, now next. Seven billion streams a week. Tomorrow's West Jet flight will be like 40 people. So I'm timing on Delta. Yeah. They're like, what happened. Everybody's doing it. That's so funny.
Starting point is 00:46:55 Yeah, so I feel a little weird doing it, but it's so worth it. Well, yeah, you drive a range rover, but you're going to cheap out on the premium plus. I drive a used range rover. I bought an auction, and it needed four new air shots. I'm just. I'm just yanking your chain. Oh, boy. But I'm about to trade it in for a 91 Dodge Dakota.
Starting point is 00:47:14 You know what I really want? It's a 95. Oh, sorry. I really want a 67 Bronco, like baby blue. I heard Ford's bringing the Bronco back. They are. But not the 67. Yeah, it's not the same.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Oh, they're going to do like a new one. Yeah. Lady Gaga drove a one. Well, we'll see how this thing goes, and we always try and get you a gift after. So we'll think about it. If this does well for your next album and you owe me a Bronco. There we go. A Bronco and your pool.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Yeah. Okay. And what's your confession? Why don't you do a swipe up like a little bronco thing, have people swipe up and get a free Bronco? Can you do that? Absolutely not. I won't.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Are you guys on Cameo? What is that? If it's cool, we are. Well, Cameo, people pay to get shoutouts from you. Oh, I heard about this. And I just can't bring myself to do that. Like, you should be on cameo. And I'm like, I just feel like such an asshole.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Pay me and I'll say hello to you. I respect you. That's so I'm like, but it's such good money. I'm like, I can't bring myself to do it. Yeah. I'm like, if I see a nice message, maybe I'll just make one for you anyways. There you go. And you don't have to pay me.
Starting point is 00:48:18 There you go. We love that in like meeting and greets when families come up and they're like, hey, instead of getting a photo, can you do a little shout out to our kids? Yeah. A, we still do a photo because we're like, it's not a Iowa. But I love that. I love knowing that some kid is, and yes, we don't get paid for it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:35 I will say when we launched our fan club, we had like. X amount of dollars you get a meeting grade pass level up you get all our music for free yeah you're paying for it up front yeah and then we did this kind of for funny for fun we said 200 bucks a month and you can come to Nashville once a year and hang out with us yeah it was just more of a joke and the first day a bunch of people signed up so we started doing these trips where we'd bring people in yeah and we'd pay for their flights and their hotels and hang out with them in Nashville it was actually really really fun that's cool and we don't do it anymore, but we stay in touch with the, you know, the super, super supportive fans that were
Starting point is 00:49:10 in that group. So maybe, maybe it's okay if people pay for things like that, just not the hello, 50 bucks to say hi to somebody. I was going to charge like $200. Okay, sorry. Chris Harrison charges like $500. But then I was thinking, if I did it, then I would maybe find a charity that I'm passionate about and give half the money to that.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Now we're talking. Yeah. So, well, I'll figure it. I say 90% or whatever. Oh, yeah, 90. I mean, just kidding. I was totally just kidding. Well, we're running out of time because you have to go, but I want to hear Curtis's confession. Oh, I pee in the shower every day.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Me too. Okay. Dang, that was boring. That's the same as like brushing your teeth with water, though. Everybody does it. Yeah. What do you think? What percentage of people pee in the shower?
Starting point is 00:49:55 $100. 98. My wife does not. Okay, so 99.9. 99. Your wife is the only one. Okay. Okay, I've done this one time.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Okay. This is getting better. Peed in the shower. Yeah. Oh, I'm nervous. I'm scared. My wife was in the shower, too, but I managed to like sneakily do it while she was shampooing or something. See, and she didn't notice.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Nope. Oh, well, then I have a confession. Yes. Oh, here we go. I pee in the shower every time while my wife is in there. Oh, and she doesn't know? No, she knows. She doesn't care.
Starting point is 00:50:31 I mean, at the end of the day, it's a confession. just cute that you guys shower with your wives still. If you're drinking of water, your pee is the same color as water. Well, and you're just, it's washing off anyways. Exactly. I don't find that weird. We had a guy in my basketball team that would pee on us in the shower. That was a little gross. Yeah, that's next.
Starting point is 00:50:46 There's like 12 dudes. He would pee on you? Yeah, and after the game, 12 days in the shower. Hey, have you confessed that? The whole pee sports scenario. Oh, that somebody drank you. I haven't confessed that? No. See, my sister-in-law confessed it for me. So much urine confessions.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Yeah, that's okay. I guess I'm just going to, can I just say his name and everything? Yeah. When he listens, he can punch me in the face. Totally. So. Then he can pee on you. Our town, small enough that we had to put a bunch of towns together, if you're real serious about hockey, to make, like, a regional team.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Yeah. A small oil field town called Rainbow Lake was like a couple hours away, and we're on the same team as Rainbow Lake and Paddle Prairie and Fort Vermillion. Oh, yes. And so my buddy gets a sunny delight, you know, the drink. Yeah, of course. puts it in the year. Your mom's the coolest. in the urinal and says,
Starting point is 00:51:34 pee in this thing, we'll give it to Kevin. So I... Oh, that makes one to wharf. So I pee in a sunny delight bottle. Ew. After a game, and I'm going to throw everybody under the bus. My buddy, Terry Brown, was his idea. And then Logan Nehoss,
Starting point is 00:51:47 brings it to Kevin Sparling, and Kevin drinks it. Oh, did he bark immediately? And cusses a little bit. Just a little. It's a little kind of cuss. And his dad's the head coach. He's not our normal head coach.
Starting point is 00:52:02 He's the head coach of this travel team. Okay. So not a smart move. No. He comes in and wants to know who did it and yells at us. And of course, I didn't admit it. Yeah. And so now I am to the world.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Oh, my gosh. So Kevin Sparling's a guy, right? Well, I'll never drink Sunny D again. Back to the beginning of the show when I said I met my wife at this music festival in Fort St. John. Kevin moves to Fort St. John. I am not even dating my wife yet. We're just getting to know each other on the phone. And she says, so there's this new guy in my class.
Starting point is 00:52:32 and he says he knows you his name's kevin sparling he just moved you and i'm like no you're like i peated that guy so he did literally so i said here's a deal i'm going to tell you a story about kevin but never tell him this so i do life goes on my sister-in-law gets invited to kevin's younger brother's birthday party oh boy she drops the bomb this is karma and says my my sister's boyfriend peed in a cup and you drank it and anyway are you guys still friends me and kevin yeah i've actually never seen since then that was about 20 years ago he's probably avoiding you yeah he probably has a knife in the ready position just ready to get you back it's all nutrients cut your you know what off see if you pee in my sunny d again oh man that's funny my confession is just really quick that last night i was like
Starting point is 00:53:21 september i'm going to be super healthy i'm going to work out five days a week i've been just a piece of shit lately and i was like i'm just going to do like the sober september only have some wine on the weekends get eat healthy workout Last night, I went and had, I can say pasta in front of you guys, right? Sure. I'll make fun of you, but you can say. Oh, well, I had two dishes of different pasta at Rolf and Daughters. Nice.
Starting point is 00:53:45 It was amazing. And I was, had, I'd been eating all day, by the way. Okay, side note. Earlier that day, I had a Beyond Meatburger with a mac and cheese patty on it. At Burger King or who makes that? It was at Ainsworth. Oh, never one. A lot of people are doing Beyond Meat right now, right?
Starting point is 00:54:01 I love Beyond Meat Burgers. Never had it. Mac and cheese patty on top with mac and cheese on top. And then I ate two dishes of pasta. And then I went home and I put on the TV and Jason looked at me and he goes, should we order Chinese food? And we did. And I ate Lomaine.
Starting point is 00:54:18 And I just, it's disgusting. That's insane. They say everything in moderation, including moderation. Well, you know what? I don't live by that. I just go for it when I feel like it. That's what I'm saying. That's good.
Starting point is 00:54:30 You threw the moderation out the window. Yeah, it was pretty disgusting. I was really ashamed of myself. How did you feel after? Great. Okay, wow. Is beyond meat really something we're okay with? Like, do we know what's in this stuff?
Starting point is 00:54:43 I don't know. It's vegetarian meat. It's a plant-based burger. All I know is that Leonardo DiCaprio invested a lot of money in this company. Well, then you can't go wrong. And so I believe in Leonardo DiCaprio. Ground-up dollar bills. I'm just going to say, didn't Justin Timberlake invest in MySpace, and that's not really cool.
Starting point is 00:55:01 No, that worked. That works. Okay. You're right. You're right. But you know what? I like it. I like Beyond Meat.

Starting point is 00:55:20 And I do, I just, you know what? I never in my life thought I wouldn't eat meat because steak was my favorite food. Yeah. And one time I was in New York and my ex was like, I'm going to go vegan. And I was like, oh, no, please don't. and then I was like steak is my favorite food I'll never do it he's like just do it for three weeks see how you feel and I did and then I felt amazing and then I tried to eat meat after and I got so sick so now I'm just scared to go back huh yeah maybe next time you try and eat me don't order like seven different meals all of is the same day well it's not like a cow sympathy you just feel better without it well I have a little cow sympathy but then I also saw documentaries about like farming and like certain like you can you can I'm really nice to my cows. I believe you are.
Starting point is 00:56:05 He massages his cows like the, what is that Wagyu beef where you have to massage? No, I don't do that. That's actually, I think that's pretty cruel because they like cage them up and the cows never like do anything other than have massages. Yeah, but I still hate it is. You can cage me up and give me a massage for a while. I'm not mad at that either. And then cut you into slices. Okay, never mind.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Yeah, not that part. See, it's like I get it, but it's sad. You know what I mean? Yeah. I get it though. Okay.
