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. So go listen to Pride and Prejudice now at audible.ca slash Jane Austen. Get ready for lots of laughs, tabby topics, unfiltered advice, and wine. Lots of wine. Get ready to shake things up. Here's Caitlin. Welcome to Off the Vine. I'm your host, Caitlin Bristow.

We're just jumping right into it. We got wine flowing in the studio with me today as country singer Tyler Rich. Thank you for being here. Thanks for having me. You're so welcome. We've got red wine. Is it good? Is it okay?

Let me check. Yeah. Have a little sip and you can be honest. I've got to smell it and twirl it first. Oh, yeah. I mean, yeah, it's weird if you don't. You can smell the year? What year is it? Oh, this might be from the future. Oh, it's a 2020.

It's good. Is it good? Yeah, I enjoy it. I'm not a wine snob by any means. I'm not either. I mean, I've started to get a little more picky with what I like and don't like, but I'll honestly drink anything at the same time. Yeah. I was thinking about this earlier because this is my, like, I think I've been back in Nashville for a couple days. I was gone for, I think. I think I was home for maybe six days total out of 50. And I've just been like on the go. I've been so, I've been drinking so much wine. I've been eating like absolute garbage.

And then I was like, you're probably, you can relate to that. Do you, are you on the road a lot or are you here? You have a home here? I have a dog and some stuff here that I call my belongings. Okay. Yeah. But otherwise you go away a lot. Just gone all the time.

Last year I wasn't here. I think I was probably in Nashville, 25 days. last year? What? I mean, I thought I was going to complain. That might be a little aggressive, maybe 30. That's crazy.

Yeah, it was crazy. But, I mean, that means you're doing well. Yeah, first year promoting the first single, you know, so we were just out, gone forever. Yes. Oh my gosh, that's amazing. It's good to be busy. It really is. It's a blessing.

We were, I was going to talk about this when we first went on about how we don't, you don't like the sound of your voice. You don't like hearing yourself talk. I'm actually being tormented right now. This is torture for you. As I'm hearing it, I'm like, do I want to turn it down? I don't want to hear it. That's so funny to me because, well, obviously, you have a great voice.

You have to know that. Thank you. Well, you must know that. It's like listening to a voicemail. Right now, I feel like I've been listening to myself, say, please leave a message for three minutes straight. Right. Because everybody hates that sound, but I'm different and I love the sound on my own voice. Like, I could talk all day into a microphone just to myself, just because I'm like, I like, I like that sound.

It's soothing. I should, you know what I should do? I should record a meditation for myself, like talking myself to sleep. Yeah. And just put myself to sleep with my own voice. Do you just fall asleep listening to your podcasts? I should. See, okay, wait, now I can relate because I don't like listening to my own podcast.

Oh, okay. Because then I think I'm too hard on myself. Is that why you feel that way with, like, listening to your voice? When you sing in the studio and you have headphones on, you don't, or do you put the headphones on? Or do you just hear the music? Well, what's funny is I'm the only person I've ever met that does this. Yeah. And we actually were just tracking a demo right before I came here.

And I'm in the vocal booth, and I'm like, Matt, can you please mute my vocal and just have the music on in my headset? Wow. And he goes, oh, I forgot. That's how you, that's the way you like to do it. I'll keep one headphone off. The other headphone is just music. Wow. And Josh, behind the wall goes, what the hell you said?

What did you just say? Yeah. You don't want to hear yourself sing. It's not that I want to hear myself sing. I just, I like to sing in the room. Yeah. So it kind of feels like I'm just playing guitar, singing the song. Okay.

Is it like, oh, okay, so you feel maybe like there's, you're overthinking or there's pressure when you can hear the sound of your own voice? It's more like if I'm singing and it's directly going in, I hold back a little more. Oh, okay. I won't sing as loud because it's right in my face. See, okay, so I take voice lessons and I love singing. And when I record anything, I actually, I do better hearing myself because I, like, project more. And I feel like I need to do that. So we're opposite.

That's how I am live. Okay. It's different, yeah, I have different preferences. Yeah, of course. Do you love doing live performances? Yeah, it's the best part. Is it the best feeling in the world when people are in the crowd singing your music? It's the best part of the whole thing.

I can't, that's, to me, that would be on my bucket list of things that I would want to experience in my life is like writing music and singing to a crowd who's singing your lyrics back at you. That just must be, like, the best feeling. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, especially being just a music fan. Yeah. going to so many shows my whole life and still to this day

and knowing the feeling I have when somebody on stage is singing a song that I connect to and I want to sing to them so when I'm on stage and I see that happening then that's when you feel like you're doing it right

and you're just so in the moment too you know? Absolutely. Like that's probably one of the most in the moment things you could do is be singing and having people look back and just, I mean they're on their phones

recording but they're still like you know music is just crazy for that kind of thing for connecting with people. Yeah and you get you You get these, it's weird to say when there's, you know, a couple thousand people in a crowd, but when you look at one person in the eyes and you're singing, there's an immediate, intimate, fan, just friend connection right there. Yeah, and they never forget that, too. Yeah.

Like, I remember, this is, my first concert was Bush X, like Gavin Rosdale. Bush X. Well, they dropped the X after a while, and then it was just Bush. My first CD was Bush 16 Stone. Really? Yeah. Oh, there you go. It was after the X.

Yeah. I don't know when he dropped the X. I never knew they had X. Yeah. Look it up. Google it. And I remember Gavin looked me in the eyes. I was probably like 11, but I will never forget that moment.

Like I loved his music and I loved his voice. And I remember feeling so connected to him. And then I think, too, I'm like, he never forgot it either. No, he didn't. Really? No. You just made my day. Yeah, he told me.

He called me from the UK He said, I heard you're doing Off the Vine podcast with Caitlin Bristow Wow, I remember looking at her in the eyes When she was 11 Did you ever come down off that cloud? I get it You see what I did?

Yeah, I did I did I don't know if it's the best That was after X Yes, it was I'm Googling this when he dropped the X I was listening One of my favorite stations on Sirius

Is 90s or lithium 90s on 9 90s on 9. I love grunge, like Nirvana's like everything to me. That's I think I liked Gavin's voice. Are you a big fan of Post Malone? Now he's bringing that back. I love Post Malone. He's the best. He's so good. We will be best friends. You will? You're putting it out in the universe. Yeah. Okay. Can I be in on the friend circle? Absolutely. Okay. Do you think he likes to drink wine? I think he likes to drink everything. Oh, okay. Yeah. I have a shirt that I almost wore today, but it's cold out, so I put a sweater on, but it's Lil Wayne, and it says

Saturdays are further, and then it has him just like drinking like cough syrup. Pretty gangster, actually. Is that what this is? Is this actually cough syrup? Yeah, it's NyQuil, mixed with a little wine. See you tomorrow. Now, I don't know if Valentine's Day is brutal on Tyler, but I think it's brutal on some guys.

Did you go to L.A. first to do music stuff? Yeah, I lived in L.A. for probably about two years. Okay. And then it wasn't everything I thought it was going to be. Yeah. And I moved back home and went back to school. Yeah. And then told myself when I graduated, I was going to move back down to L.A.

Is there like something you can pinpoint? There is, I mean, God, just 2018.

Yeah. There are so many. A whole year of it. Yeah, that's, that's, that's amazing. There's so many little tiny pivotal moments. Right. The Today Show in May. Huge.

And they, you know, go into my first award show and just, we just wrapped up the CMT tour at the end of last year. And it was the difference of going out and doing these radio shows and doing these festival dates, where everybody's there to see a bunch of people and they're also watching you to doing this tour with Brett Young was headlining. Yeah. And we played second. We were direct support and just watching just thousands of people singing.

Incredible. My single. Yeah. And singing other songs. Yeah. And, God, I don't know, pivotal moment other than just, yeah, the whole year, which honestly was a whirlwind. It was, like I said, I was only home for, God, maybe 30 days.

Yeah, that's wild. So you were just like touring and promoting and. and doing your thing for the whole... 2018, that's a big year for you. Yeah. Well, so basically, you do a radio tour when it's your first single. Explain it to me.

So, super exciting. Yeah, it is. As soon as I was told that my first single was going to be the difference. Yeah. They said, all right, music video shoot, video, picture shoot.

We're doing it. Let's go, go, go. Yeah. Radio tour starts. Now, radio tour is you visit anywhere from about two to four stations a day. Yeah, wow. Five days a week.

Whoa. Sometimes playing shows at night. and every stop you go and you meet the program directors and the staff and you play songs and you tell your story and then you go to the next city and you do it again or the other station in that city and so that was February until June and that's that's a lot how do you not get sick or like lose your voice or oh okay well I mean you're like I am a human lots of Flintstone vitamins all day every day tons Linstone vitamins. Sugar bear hair. Those are delicious, chewy vitamins. Said every girl on Instagram. I know. I'm like, I think this is my way to segue into my sugar bear hair ad for the podcast. I don't know what they are. I just see people on Instagram I'm always going like, these, they're small, they're tasty. Do you like my beautiful hair? Do you want it too? And I'm like, I want you beautiful.

But tell me it doesn't make you want to buy them. It does. Yeah. They are delicious. My sweet tooth is. Oh, well, then you'd probably crush a whole bottle. I accidentally ate like six one time because I was like couldn't stop I know I have a different confession to tell you later yeah but I'm going to hit you with the one right now that's gonna give it to me this one's terrible I have the worst sweet tooth yeah that I've ever known and here's the proof I got home one day at my house in L.A. and my roommate's friend was staying over and he had been there for about a week yeah and he had some vitamins up in the cupboard yeah and I was cooking dinner I was actually being really healthy. I was meal prepping for about a week.

Oh, good for you. So I was in the kitchen for a long time. Okay. And as I was there, I saw these gummy bears sitting on the counter. And I opened them up knowing that there were vitamins. Oh, you knew. I was going to ask. Okay. Regular vitamins. It's not the gummy hair. Bear don't care. Okay. Just regular, like multivitamin. Yeah. Okay. Trader Joe's. That's my ad. Yeah. And we, uh, hashtag sponsored. I had a couple and I was like, man, these are really good. Yeah. And then not paying attention. I had a couple more. Yeah.

Probably about 25 minutes later. I had a couple more. I'm going to say 25 gummies later. I'm telling me I probably had at least 15 over about two hours. Not really in the moment. I was so busy doing stuff on the counter that I wasn't thinking and I was eating them as if they were candy. It's almost I forgot and I'm so used to just eating candy like that. Right.

That I just started eating it. Didn't even cross your mind. Yeah. And I got what they call is vitamin A vitamin paralysis. Something. Oh, did you get sick? Oh, I was like almost hospital back. No.

If you have too much vitamin, this was so long ago, and I've blacked out ever since, is that it's something, I can't think what it's called, but Google can help. Yeah. When you have too much vitamin A, it's, Googling. It pretty much almost kills you. Your body goes into basically paralysis for a couple days. What? If you guys have a sweet tooth, just eat regular gummy bears. Yeah.

And you won't go to the hospital. Yeah. That's why I stay away from, if anybody's like, oh, I have weed gummy bears. I'm like, keep those away from my house. You would die. Absolutely. You would die. That's actually insane. I thought you, I was just going to say you probably just pee it out. And then you hit me with the hospital bed. Yeah, vitamin paralysis.

Yeah, I'm like Googling. I'm like, there's too many big words going on. Everybody at home right now is like, how did Tyler almost die? Well, now it's going to be. Death by gummy bear. Yeah, exactly. That's so funny. And did you grow up, like, always being involved in music? Is that just like in your blood? Is it in your family? Like, how did you get into that? Yeah. It was 100% family. Yeah. So when I was growing up, my uncle Tim played guitar and would sing him and all of his friends. So any time we ever had a family get together, they would come around with guitars. My very first time ever playing any type of live music was because when I was a kid, my uncle Tim was college football playing, All-Star, cheerleader dating, just like he was like, the man.

The All-American, like, yeah. Singing at the parties. And then when he graduated college, I was still at the eight. I guess I was probably about 11 years old. And he said, dude, you should come to this house party with me. And he took me this party and he didn't let me do any. I mean, I sat in a corner, right? But there was this punk rock, I guess you would call him band playing from Sacramento called the Brodies.

Yeah. And they ended up having some success. They had a couple singles on national radio. But at the time, they were just a garage band house party. Yeah. And Tony, the lead singer, is one of my uncle's best friends. Yeah. And I've been playing music with Tony my whole life.

And at that time, I was 11, I didn't know anything about what I wanted to play. And they're like, you should play the drums tonight. And so, in one song at this party, I got up there and I went, boom, tap, tap, boom, tap. And they started playing this whole song. No way. And in that moment, I was like, there was a whole crowd singing, this chaos. You know, I was in fifth grade. And so I started asking for a guitar and instruments.

And then when I was 14, I got a guitar. Wow. And then my uncle started teaching me. And yeah, now we just, every time I see him, first. thing we do is play really yeah that's now do you play all sorts of instruments or just guitar uh so i started i mean i saw that air drum and that's convincing what i was just doing yeah i was like that guy plays yeah it's just all on the hip thrust with it for the kick drum um i think i could do it uh oh no backwards wait this faster yeah because that would be the high hat what you could create your own

type of drumming. Here I am. I thought I was going to impress you. I thought you were going to be like, wow, you nailed it. It's really good. Really good. If you guys could see the air drumming right now. I'm going double.

This reminds me a lot of Dale on Stepbrothers. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Was it Dale or Brennan? Brennan went nuts on Dale's, well, literally went nuts on Dale's drum set. Do you touch my drum set? No. It's just weird because it seems like someone definitely touched my drum set. Yeah, that is weird.

You don't touch my drums. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah. You beat those drums, Brendan. You beat those drums, yeah. It was. Do you like guacamole? Is this a...

I just missed it. Is that a movie quote? It's from the movie. It's right before he jumps up on top of the... I always get mad at people when they don't pick up my movie quotes, and I just dropped that. Did you really think I was about to order guacamole? I was like, that's a really random question. I was like, shit, I missed the movie quote.

That was my bad. I just said the other day, you know when they're laying in bed on stepbrothers and he calls them a And he goes, you don't say that. I say that all the time and people are like, what? They don't get it. You don't say that. You don't say that. When you fall asleep, I'm going to fill this pillowcase full of bars of soap and beat

the shit out of you. That's the best that never gets old. Never. I'm the biggest movie quader out there. That's my humor. Like people think I'm funny, but I'm like, that's a movie quote. Yeah. I just don't let them know.

Yeah, but you wouldn't be able to, I wouldn't be able to. I wouldn't be able to do that with you. You'd be like, you'd be like, that's from a movie. You're not funny. It's like my main hobby. My main hobby was music, and then music became what I do all the time. So now my only hobby is watching movies. Wow.

And you have time for that? Not in 2018, you don't. No. No. But a lot of times I'll go watch movies alone on the road. Oh, I love a solo movie trip. Like in the theaters? Yeah, I always do that.

Have you seen The Greatest Showman? No. I know. Really? I know. Oh, you are missing. seen out. I know. And it's like magical in the theater. That's what I've heard. I've seen, I saw it three times in the theater. I'm obsessed, as you can know. How many times have you seen

a star is born? Not once. Hold on. What was the reaction you did to me? Yeah, I know. I, you know what? I was actually, when you said, I'm like, damn it, that's, now I feel stupid. You know, this is coming. Yeah, that's. To make you feel better, I just saw it last week. And? I bawled. Like, I ugly cried. Really? Yeah. Ugly cry. Okay, I need to watch it. Is it. Can I get it on like my TV. at home or do you it is available now it just came out on apple tv but in town you can still see it in dolby go see it in do you can yeah because the whole movie is live music and the dolby theater feels like you're out of concert oh wait what yeah i didn't even know about this i would absolutely love that movie at home but it's still experience well i think yeah because the awards i think the golden globes

are soon um oscar's just passed yes yeah so golden gloves are coming soon that's likely gonna be up for it so that's why i think it's still in theaters they didn't win the oscar Right? Wasn't that like a big thing? I don't know. I think, what was the other one? The Queen one. Bohemia Rhapsody.

Yeah, Bohemian Rhapsody. They won it over. Oh, I didn't even see that. Yeah, it was a whole thing. I saw that movie. I didn't see them win. Are you even on Twitter? Me?

Is that your fiancé, girlfriend, what?

Fiancee, yeah. Is that her in the... It is. Okay, you guys are so cute. Thank you. I love that song, and the video was adorable, and I was like, I think that's his, I thought, fiance. Please tell me your love story because everybody's a sucker for a good love story. How did you two meet and, like...

Those are also our dogs. They are? Those are not hired canines. I mean, I figured, but I'm obsessed with dogs. it's a problem and I'd like as soon as I saw the video in like the first two seconds I'm like yep dog love it love the video great video yeah we wanted to because the whole song is just about falling in love of somebody yeah and I was like well she's got to be in the music video yeah and so we're figuring out what we wanted to do and I was like we should just tell the story

of meeting somebody and falling in love and so when we shot this music video we had to act like we were just meeting and we were doing our first dates right the whole time it's us going through these dates and me almost getting a kiss yeah and then not getting it yeah and And then so, I was like, well, if it's us in the beginning, which would be our dogs. Yeah. Both of our dogs are old. Yeah. And I've had Abby for 13 years.

She's had Charlie for 10. Oh, my gosh. If we have this music video that is us falling for each other with our dogs, 10 years from now, we'll be able to look back. Oh, that's. We have this little kind of time capsule of what our family was when we met. And, yeah. Oh, I love that. Yeah.

And Abby, my husky, she gives me, if you see her when she gives me the head nod. Yeah. That is right when I leave her house and I kind of, I'm about to cross the street. I'm like, man, do I turn around and go get the kiss? And Abby looks up at me and she goes, get her dad. And then we run back together and that's how it ends. That's so sweet. Well, now I gave it away.

Guys, watch the music video. It's very cute. It's very cute. But it's, I just love anything to do with dogs and music. Those are like my two. Like, I'm a sucker for a love story, music and dogs. So you really had me with that video. So we won.

Yeah, you basically won. I love it. You won the internet for me that day, the day that I watched it. No, it's so good. Did you know, like, do you know when you write music, are you like, that's going to be the one? That song's going to really like. You always fall in love with, especially new music. Yeah.

Like, I wrote a song today that I think is just going to be a, I think, oh, man, that song is going to be a monster. Really? But we write so much. Yeah. I mean, for this first album, I've written well over, I'm going to say, 150 now. Are you serious? And then you get pitches from people... Is that normal?

Yeah, we write a lot. Wow. You write a lot of songs. Okay. And then you get pitches from people. And you get pitches from people and then you pick your favorites from that. Yeah. It's a process.

Whoa, over 150? I'd say now. It was probably about an ish, I guess. I don't know. Just know it's a lot. How do you even come up with that many thoughts? Well, you do co-writes. Right.

Yeah, of course. You imagine if I sat alone in my room just writing 150 songs. No, I cannot. You must have a crazy life if you can write it. I can't imagine. 150 unique. I've literally wrote, co-wrote, I think four in like two years. Now, but you believe, right?

You hear those songs, you write them and you're like, this would be a huge hit. You're obsessed with it. I'm obsessed with them. I'm like, but I never know what to do because I'm like, well, do I just put it out there? I don't know. Have you ever met an ugly baby? No. Yes.

I was an ugly baby. Or an ugly dog. Yeah. We love all dogs, but there's ugly babies and there's ugly dogs. We all blossom. That's true. But then you meet that parent that is. He's like, isn't my baby the cutest baby in the world?

And they're posting like a little infant, 40-year-old man all over Facebook. Yes. And you're like, that's a 40-year-old man with a beard. Right. That's not a two-month-old infant. Yeah, that's not a baby. That's like your four songs, right? That's me with all of my songs.

I have plenty of, not saying your songs aren't good, but I just mean it's that love you have for your creation. Yeah, no, I know what you mean. Yeah, that makes sense, actually. That's a great analogy. And because it's your story. It's your songs. Yes. I've written songs and I'll turn it in and be like, man.

Man, this one. It's the one. And then it's just crickets. Yeah. I'm like, hey, the Wi-Fi go off at the office. Why hasn't nobody responded to this one yet? Is it a holiday today? Yeah, that's funny.

That makes sense, though. I think... I want to hear your four songs. Okay, I'll show... I mean, I'll show you one. You want to write a song? Kay? Kay?

Don't tempt me. I want it. No, I want it. And I think part of my problem is that I'm never here. And I'm always just all over the map going, Going, going, going. And now I'm finally back home in Nashville for a while. So I'm like, I really want to get back into it.

I love doing it. Don't say that out loud and take it back. I won't. Okay, because a lot of people listen to this podcast. They're going to be waiting for this. Pumping my own tires. Like, a lot of people listening to this podcast. So if you don't, you're going to have all of my off-the-vine listeners on your ass.

Watch them just start harassing me. Every day I get. They will. Tweets, little birds, just. They really will. You'll have to just write me something and say you and be like, Caitlin, just take it. It's yours. Yeah, we should.

It'd be fun. Okay, I'm down. Just bring this NyQuil. Bring the NyQuil and we'll call it a night. I was, well, I want to get back to your love story. Yeah. So how did you propose? A lot of people wanted to know that.

When I put on Facebook and Twitter that you were coming on the podcast, a lot of people wanted to know how you proposed. All right. So we were going down to Jamaica. Yeah. And this was the beginning, this was the middle of 2016 in the summer, right when things were busy. I didn't really know if I was going to get any other time for vacations and stuff. And I'm like, this is it. This is the perfect time.

But it's terrifying to go to another country, not only with a ring, but expect a plan to go as orchestrated with people in another country via emails from a plan. And so I, we're staying at this resort. And as we're checking in, I had told her that we were getting all sorts of upgrades and just the full, like, treatment in exchange for social media promotion of the resort. Right. Something that it happens. Yeah, of course. You know, if you have followers and stuff, it's advertising. It is.

And so we're checking in, and as they start giving us all these upgrades, she thinks it's because of that. But it's really all these upgrades because they know that I'm going to propose. So we get, they hand me this Nokia, and they said, this is your butler phone. Oh, a Butler phone. A Butler phone. I think Batman is the only person ever had a Butler phone. Do they still make Nokia phones? It looked like one.

I don't know if it actually was one. It's like the Jamaican Nokia. Okay. It had Snake and a Butler's phone number. I just talked about that since. The game Snake on my last podcast. Yeah. The best.

And so we had this Butler that basically hit the button and then like, yes, Mr. Rich, what would you like? And, oh, can you set us up horseback riding for this? Can you do this? And then the next morning they're like, okay, we have this breakfast set up for you. And then at breakfast, they say, all right, so we have this, the chef of the whole resort is cooking you guys a five-course meal for lunch in this canopy overlooking the ocean. Wow. And we're like, great, that sounds awesome. But we had just eaten. And so I basically tricked her into talking me into going to this lunch. Okay. We're sitting in the hotel and she's like, okay, that lunch thing is in 45 minutes. I'm like, I don't want to go. We just ate. Why can't we just have our own vacation? She goes, we are going.

Let's go. Have fun and smile. Yeah. So she talked me into going up to this proposal that was going to happen. That's smart. I like how you played that. I didn't want her to, yeah. Yeah.

She figures everything out. She's like a velociraptor. Right. So we're just super smart. Yeah. She's fast. So I pulled out all the tricks. We get up there.

We're at the top of this canopy. And I hired this guy to, he was going to sing our song. Yeah. And the first time we ever said, I love you was during, it was at Bonner. which is the festival here and cold play was not performing chain smokers was playing and they played cold play yellow okay and when they said yell when they were singing yellow it was like really slow and dramatic and 60,000 people had their lights up in the air and it was this like beautiful moment yeah look at the stars oh yeah and that was first time we said I love you and so

yellow yellow has been our song yeah yeah so I hired this reggae artist local reggae artist in Jamaica to come and sing the song. And that was when it was going to happen. But I'm like, I can't just have this dude walking across the beach with the guitar storming up to us going like, can I sing you a song? She's like, what the hell's going on? So I hired him for an hour to walk around the resort

playing for people. Oh my gosh. As if it was like for tips. Wow. And then I was like, well, I have to film this and get pictures or she's not going to say yes. She's going to be pissed. Right.

Wait, I can't. Is there somebody filming it? Yeah, you've got to get that content. I hired them to follow him for an hour, handing out cards to the guests of the resort. Wow. Handing out cards to him saying, you can come get your pictures and videos at the front desk tonight. You are a genius. She's a genius, and I got to make sure she didn't figure it out, right?

Right. Okay, and I love that you just gave her. Yeah, you guys are both geniuses. Like, that's actually very impressive and very, well, you're creative because you're a musician. That's very thinking, I like that. There's a lot of thought in this. Go on. So, well, the cool part is, that's hilarious, is as she's talking me into it, getting ready, I am, well, actually, a side note, she's an actress.

Okay. And she had to do a voiceover audition. What is her name again? Sabina. Yes. Sabrina without the R. Yes. Sabina Goddecki.

And so she's in the closet doing a voiceover audition. Yeah. For some, like, cartoon of a duck. What? Yeah, but we can't go over there. I just hear screaming through this hallway. Great duck. Is that what a duck sounds like?

I don't know, but it was convincing. I was like, oh, are you a duck? So I should do a voiceover for ducks. Yeah, you should. That's the moral of the podcast. If you take anything away from this podcast, it's like, you do a great duck. She's like, I'm just a duck. Tyler, we're going to lunch.

Meanwhile, I'm looking out the window at the beach, and I can see the canopy. It's like a two-story, three-story canopy, and I see nobody around it. And I'm like, oh, my God. She's not going to see him singing for anybody. And then I see our butler and a bunch of hotel staff placing hotel guests like extras. No. They're just ruining everything. No, this is great.

Oh, I thought you were saying they were making it obvious. No, no, no. She's the duck in the closet doing an audition. She's doing the duck, right? Yeah. And so I'm looking out the window, freaking out. And then I'm like, oh, God, this is fantastic. Yeah.

They put couples playing giant chess boards, couples swinging on hammocks, canopy. Wow. They really committed. Giant fire pits. Good for them. So by the time we get up there, they're all sitting out there, minding their own business. One couple walked up and down the beach back and forth like 20 times. And so I see my dude show up and he's singing to people.

And the thing about this resort is that it was very Americanized. It was very for American tourists. Yeah, yeah. We had gone to a couple where it was very cultural. And when we got to this one, it was beautiful. We loved it. But it was very American music. Yeah.

And water aerobics classes to. Oh, yeah. Come on ride the train. Oh. And ride it. She's like, oh, my God. We need reggae in a beats pill now. Yeah, yeah.

And so he comes around and he's playing and she starts crying while he's playing music downstairs. And I said, shit. She figured it out. And so why are you crying? She said, it's just so beautiful. I miss this. This is Jamaica. This is real.

This is sweet. He's older. Look at him. This is beautiful. You're like, oh, I'm nailing there. I was like, we are. on. Yeah.

And then he looks up about 20 minutes later and he said, can I come sing for you up there? And she's like, oh my God, please come up. And he comes upstairs and he sings this Bob Marley's song, if the hat fits. And it's beautiful and she's crying. She's dancing. And I'm like, oh, my God, this is a movie. Yeah. And then all of a sudden he's like, can I play you something else?

I'm going to cry. And she says, she's like, no, no, no, go down. Go make your money. Like she tipped him. And then she's like, good, because I paid actually for him. Yeah, yeah. Do your part, Sabina. She tips him and she's like, no, no, no, go downstairs, make some money.

Thank you so much. You're so sweet. And he goes, is there any other song you would like to hear? And I looked over and I said, do you know any cold play? She hits, slaps me on the shoulders. She's like, baby, does not know cold play. Let him go downstairs. And I was like, he might.

And then you just hear this guitar riff kind of start. And she can't really fully. I got goosebumps already. Yeah. And then look at the stars, like in the most sweet reggae version you've ever heard. And she looks at him, she goes, how does he know how to, and then just waterworks. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

I don't even know if I actually, I don't really remember saying much in that moment. But so Polish is her first language. Her parents moved here from Poland. Everybody from her whole family is Polish. So she learned English in school. Wow. So I've been learning Polish since I met her. And so I proposed in Polish.

No, you did. Stop. I know. Just get out of here. The only thing that separates this from an episode of The Bachelor is a helicopter did not pick us up at the end. I'm surprised you didn't get that going. Is Chris Harrison going to marry you guys? Gosh.

That's amazing. Yeah, so I said, Damit the foyer sets and there's off your pressure, which means, can I have your heart forever, please? I know. I'm not okay right now. I am not okay. That is the most beautiful. story. I'm so glad

I asked. And then this is the part that sounds like The Bachelor. Stop, there's more. So then they come up and then, so everybody when we look down off the canopy, all of our extras from our movie are around the tent basically looking up clapping and cheering and dancing to the music. And they danced with us as we danced to the rest of the song.

So then our butler she's like, hey, we set up beach massages for you. And then our very last thing we'd like to give you is a rooftop sunset pizza dinner that's because it's like the pizza oven up there it's the best view of the whole resort and we have it reserved for you upstairs just for you two for at five o'clock so then as we're walking up there walking up the stairs to get to this rooftop we look out in the pool and there's 30 hammered hotel guests that were our extras stop because this is four hours later and they're

still drinking right come take shots come on and she looks at me and she goes I don't want to go upstairs let's just go party with our new friends and I said what about our real friends she said what and when we got up to the roof nope nope we got up to the roof I'm done podcast is over I can't take it there was a bunch of our friends on the roof waiting to celebrate because we yeah okay ow my jaw hurts because my mouth was open to like oh my gosh yeah it was awesome and so then they hung out with us for a few days so what had happened is we were on the other side of Jamaica for a wedding and then went to our own vacation for a few days after yeah and I got the blessings from the groom and the book and of course the husband and wife like letting

you know, not at your wedding, of course, but a few days later, other side of Jamaica, I'm going to take advantage of the vacation. Right. And then so a few of those friends stayed, just a couple extra days, and then surprised her. And then I had a friend flying from California. Wow. And then we hung out for a few days, and then we went back home and then went to New York where I had a surprise. Stop.

No, I can't. I'm just trying to really milk this right now because I know her friends and family are going to be listening because they're all fans. Oh, my gosh. That's so nice. We had a surprise Central Park engagement party for all of her friends from Massachusetts in New York. Of course he did. And it was awesome. Now, how do you...

Now back to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. I mean, how do you now keep up with that bar? Like, you, like, Valentine's Day, birthdays, Christmas. Are you, like, a really think outside of the box kind of guy and, like, very romantic? Is that always who you are? Or was that just, like, you really stepped it up? Yeah, it's been pretty good since we met. Wow.

No, we, uh, we, I don't know. That's so nice. Yeah. How long ago did you mean? I guess I just put a lot of thought and stuff, I guess. I love that. Um, it'll be three years the beginning, May 1st. Okay.

And when did you propose? July 16, so like 14 months after her or so. And you just knew. Yeah, yeah. I knew a long time before that. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I know.

Her dad almost ruined it. Her dad. Really? Yeah, I asked them for, because I don't ever see her parents. Right. I didn't want to do her to FaceTime. Yeah. And so Sabina.

is inside doing an audition. Yeah. And we're in the lobby waiting room as we're taking her parents to LAX. Yeah. And I said, hey, we've only got a few minutes

I want to talk to you about this because I don't know the next time I'm going to see you. Right. And, you know, like they're crying and stuff. And she comes out and she's like, all right, let's go to restoration hardware.

So we go and she's shopping around looking at stuff and I had to do some emails and I'm sitting in the car. And her dad comes up and knocks on the window and looks at me and he goes, hey, Tyler. I'm like, yeah, I wasn't supposed to say anything to Sabina about the whole thing

we just talked about. Stop. And it's cute because he, with his Polish accent and he's kind of, perfect English but a little broken, you know, like, I wasn't really supposed to. I said, Rich, what the hell did you do? He said, I did nothing, nothing, nothing. Roll the window up. I'm going to go back inside. Did. So what happened is he looked at her in the aisle

or the aisle of the hardware store at the next stop and he's crying and she goes, Dad, what's wrong? He said, you're getting married. And she said, what are you talking about? And he said, oh, she's shit i just mean in general one day you're going to get married and it just hit me so did she think anything well thank god i didn't propose until another you know god knows how long okay but oh my gosh that's hilarious did now looking back is she like i knew something was up well

i think she knew in general it was going to happen but she right but when that happened she had no clue in the world that's because we had obviously talked like when you know you know and you talk about yes yeah so true that's so true and yeah what the hell you You are good. But I told her, after that surprise party in Central Park, I said, we went over a hill and there was 50 people. My friends from New York, her friends from New York, she lived there forever. She's from Massachusetts. And I told her in that moment, the wedding is yours.

You can plan everything from now on. Birthdays, Valentine's Day. We're going to see movies. Because that's for me. That's so funny. That's true. You deserve that. I mean, that's one of the best stories I've heard for a proposal.

Yes. That's what I was going for. It really, like, I'm like trying to think if I've heard a better one, and I don't think I have. It was pretty good. Thank you. And it kept getting better. I'm prideful in the corner. I'm like, thank you. Yeah. Thank you for your honesty. Thank you so much. Yeah. Taking a bow. It was good. Honestly, I love a good proposal story, but that's it just, you could have just ended it with like the first part that you said, but it just kept going. Lots of thought. Yeah. Now, do you write a lot of songs about her? All of them. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, you know, that's how it

works I mean everybody loves a good love song and country music's really good for that too yeah so what are you working on right now you've got all these songs and and what's next for you um we are well the difference is the one on the radio right now i'm obsessed with it it's so good thank you yeah it is climbing the charts um it's at 24 right now and so good for you thank you debut single top 25 is wherever it goes from here awesome but we're going for number one that's the of course you are um we are about to get back in the studio soon to record some more hopefully finish the album or starting, because I released an EP, which for people that know, that basically means like four to five songs.

Right. It's a mini CD. Yeah. So we've released that and we're either going to record a full album or continue that into an album and figure out what the second single is going to be so that we just are ready to go. Yeah. Lots coming up this year as far as festivals and touring and playing stagecoach for the first time ever.

Oh, wow. That's huge. Yeah. And especially being from California, stagecoach has just always been our. It's our friend to get away. Like, that's our festival we go there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where I met Sabina.

Really? Yeah, I met her stage coach. Oh, see, that's the only music festival I ever want to go to. I've never been, but it's the only one I have like a desire to go to. Come party with me and Sabina. Okay, when is it? It is the last weekend of April. It's where Coachella is.

So it's always Coachella, Coachella Week 1, Weekend 2, and then Stage Coachella. It's the same thing but country. I am there. I'm actually going to come to this one because I've always wanted to go to, that's the only music festival. Everything else, I'm like, uh-uh. It's the best. Yeah. Country music is, that's where my heart's at. Yeah, I've converted a lot of friends that don't listen to country. I'm like, come to stagecoach, and then they come, and they're like, oh, my God. And it's the best live. Like, that, you know, country music to me is I'm like, like, there's something just so

romantic about it to me. I just, hearing it live, I'm like, oh, I just need to find love my life and go. Do you guys watch The Bachelor? I have, you're ready for, for this. Yeah. Never seen one episode. I love it. Good for you. Way to stay strong. Never. Never one. Wow. I've seen highlights and like funny things online. You never got roped in. But I just, yeah, never. Good for you. I know. Thanks. I said, I know. Thank you. But my friend Haley and I said, oh, I'm going to, you know, I'm going to be on, off the vine with Caitlin. And she made a noise. Kind of like the thing you do, the, the, yeah, she did that. Oh, what's her name? Her name's Haley. Hi, Haley.

She's going to lose her shit. What, really? That's so funny. Yeah, she freaked out. And I was excited because I'm always excited to literally do anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And podcasts are my favorite because they're just real. That's why I love it.

It's not a, oh, hell, go to a five-minute interview. It's hang out with somebody and talk. Exactly. And so I was excited about it, and I said, hey, have you ever heard of Off the Vine? And she made that noise. Yeah. Yeah, that one. Yeah.

That was actually my like burp noise. I don't know what that was. I don't know how to burp. I do this like backwards thing where I go and that was that. I meant to do this. Yeah. I think like burping is like a release, right? It's supposed to make you feel better.

I can't do it. I don't know how. Yeah. Interesting. Never once. I have, but it was by accident. Your brain went back to an actual memory just now. It did actually.

Ah, there was a moment. No, it really did, but I didn't want to say it out loud because it was like this one time I was throwing up and I burped and then in the middle of throwing it. up. I was like, cool, I burped. I never know how to do that. Oh, my God. I'm disgusting. What's wrong with me? What am I telling these stories? Friend pulling your hair back and you're just like, did you hear that? Get a load of me. I just burped. You. I'm disgusting. But that's a good transition into confessions, I feel like. I mean, we're here. I'm embarrassing myself already. We might as well continue with the confession. So, yeah.

I mean, you almost died from gummy bears. That'll be my embarrassing confession. Okay. What's, okay, what's the, you have a confession that's not embarrassing? It's not embarrassing as much as it's just kind of funny. I'm into it. So you had asked earlier how I met Sabina. Yeah.

And we switched into engagement. Yes. Because it's part of my confession. Okay. And so, we met at Stagecoach, and I was not performing. Yeah. I was just there on Friday. And I'm standing on the side of one of the states.

stages and I'm playing it cool like I don't remember exactly where I was yeah Eric Pasley was performing he was singing his number one I look across to the side gave me a shout out the other side of the stage and I ceased to be in a stand in there with two of her friends and I'm with one of my best friends Alex and Alex had been on the road with me a billion times and said dude who is that girl and he said I don't know and I was like dude no we know her like she's not familiar we know her like I know her as a person from where is that somebody's girlfriend, somebody's wife, somebody's friends, like, why is she backstage? Who is she? He goes, I don't know, man, you should go find out. And I was like, we've been here for 15

minutes. You need to relax. I'll find out later. Yeah. So I didn't see her for two days. Oh, wow. Two days I'm sitting there like, which makes sense because a lot of times, even if you're there for playing a festival, you're only there that day and then you go off to play somewhere else. It's the fans that are there for a whole weekend, right? And so I'm stupid and I'm like, oh, I'll have another chance. I'll see her this whole weekend. And I don't see her. the rest of the night. I don't see her all day, Saturday. And I'm thinking the whole week, I'm like, how do I know this girl? I felt like I knew her as a person. Yeah. And so then

Sunday, we're watching Dustin Lynch play. We're on this stage again. And I look out in the pit and I see her standing there with their friends in the pit. Yeah. I was like, Alex, I had just gotten off tour with Dustin Lynch. Yeah. I said, Alex, we've seen this view a billion times. Yeah. Let's go in the pit. He goes, yeah, why? I was like, because there's that girl. And so we go down and we had had this huge bottle of crown in our bag and we kept just taking poles right yeah yeah we're feeling good we're drinking for solid five hours we are meet sabina ready yeah yeah we get down and I perfectly placed myself directly in front of her and her friends and decided to have the best time I could possibly have so that she looks at her friends and says damn I wish I was friends

with those guys that's a good play um and I turn around I talked to her a couple of my how do I know you I know you, and I don't know. And we try to look at each other's Instagrams to see if we follow mutual friends. Yeah. And we don't have service. We're in the desert. Right. And so that doesn't work.

And then I turn around and she's gone. She's like walking towards one of the bars super far away. And she's like, guys, so nice to meet you. Bye. Took off. No. And I'm like, this is not going up. Alex, that did not work.

Yeah. And he said, you're going to chase her? And like in the manliest moment I've ever had, I said, I don't chase woman. I don't chase whiskey. Give me that crown. And I took a huge goal up and I said, let's find her. So then we don't see her the rest of the night. The next day, we're driving back to L.A.

And I'm looking on my Instagram as I'm not driving. Okay. Thank you for clearing that up. Yeah. And I'm in the passenger scene. I'm looking through. Oh, my God, Alex, it saved her name. She's in my search.

And I type, like, a look at it. And I realized in that moment that, I didn't know her in real life I just had a huge crush on her from a movie I had seen her in and it wasn't just that I had seen her in a movie I'd seen her naked in a sex scene

in a movie and I remember very vividly watching that movie about a year or two before that and being like oh my God who is this woman you've been putting it out into the universe that you wanted to meet her for that long and you've been thinking about it

but here's the thing is that when I had seen the movie it wasn't really when obviously Instagram was already a thing but it wasn't what it is now when you see somebody in anything now you'd be like oh who is that oh I could DM them if I want DMing wasn't a thing right yeah you could do it

but we didn't know how to do it and it wasn't the right timing for you guys yeah it was not the timing yeah yeah but I just remember I was dating a girl not like serious but I was seeing a girl at the time and Sabina made because she's not just in sex she's in the movie a few times

what movie is this can I go on Can you say it? It's pretty good. The scene. It's the entourage movie. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I'm like stumbling on my words. Anyways, so I look at Alex, I'm like, I have to hang out with this girl.

Yeah. I have to talk to her. So I sent, you know, I DM her the same pickup line I used, which was genuine. Yeah. I said, I know you from somewhere. And I used it again. I realized. I said, hey, very nice.

asked to meet you, let you know when I figure out how we know each other, because she had lied and said that she recognized me too. Oh, she lied? That's cute. Yeah, we've been together ever since.

Love that. And movies. You know where you need to go is the old Hickory Bistro in the Hermitage. It's like this tiny little cafe. It's the best food and they play reruns of Save By the Bell. Oh, my God. It's really incredible. That sounds awesome.

And they have all these like nostalgic mugs and cups. And it's just, it's a really good time. Sweet. And great food. Okay. Never have I ever stocked an X on social media. What? Obviously.

These are from Google, not my mind, okay? Well, me too. Never have I ever regretted a tattoo? Never. Wow. Good for you. I only regret one. Yeah.

Who was it? It's just a music notes behind my ear, but it was poorly done. Oh, I meant who was he? He's what I meant. Oh. Yeah, I have one of those, too. I have a guy's initials tattooed on my foot, but now it makes sense for other reasons, so we're good. Nice.

Stomping on it. Yeah, exactly. Taking people with it. You have a lot of tattoos, don't you? Yeah. Somebody reached out to me and said that you had a tattoo on your lip. You do? Yeah.

It says hella inside of my lip. You just can't really see it anymore because it was God 10 years ago. And those fade in the mouth, yeah. Hella is a Northern California thing. Oh, like hella. Like I was You know the Gwynstafani song Yeah

Feeling hella good That is She wrote that song After playing in Northern California Oh no way Which is weird because Not weird It's funny

Because she's from Orange County And people in Southern California despise the word Hella Because it's a northern California phrase Interesting And so that was kind of like Her ode to NorCal

Oh that's really That's a cool story Yeah I said yeah That's a really cool story You're welcome It's like everything I'm saying You're like

Thank you You're welcome I know That was basically my game That was a shitty game It was good So many people have questions for you I'll read a few

And people People really love you You've got some like very sweet fans Very sweet They are the best They really are And they're like Usually people are just like

Oh what's their favorite Like they're like Some deeper questions Like people really Some like real stuff Yeah some real stuff I think we already kind of touched on this

But Motor Mouth Steph Asked what your inspiration of the song, the difference was, but I think you kind of touched on that. She wants to know, are you going on tour in 2019? We are touring all over. As of now, we are not on any official, you know, concurrent bills. Right.

But there are some that are pending and lots of announcements coming soon. Yeah. I mean, if your 2018 is a foreshadowing for 2019, you're going to kill it. You're going to crush it. What's, oh, who's her name? B. Bebuttal. What is his favorite venue to play, and why? Man, I got a, hmm, I love going back home to Sacramento and playing Goldfield.

Okay. That's where I started. That makes sense. And my hometown fans are just, you know. Oh, I bet. It's just incredible. Boston House of Blues is one that's random that I love. Okay.

And, yeah. I mean, yeah, there's tons. Trubador got, L.A. and Troubord. What an incredible venue. Okay. I was like, they want to know why, but they're just cool venues. I love so many for different reasons. Yeah, the first one meant something to you because it's where you started.

The history of the Trubidor and Boston House of Blues just because the way the venues laid out and the crowd for us every time we've played has just been unreal. That's amazing. It's Jess Nells. She said, I really hope I'm not behind, but when are you going to release Leave Her Wild? We are hoping we get to record it in this next session. and we're doing soon. Oh, amazing. It's been a crowd favorite.

It's a new song. Yeah. And a crowd favorite and my favorite. It's just... Is it? Yeah. We love it. Well, first of all, I already love the title of it.

Well, Sabina's favorite quote is from my guy, Atticus? Yeah. I know. If you're going to love her, love her wild. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so there is the whole, if you're going to love her, leave her wild, you know, thing that's

been around for a while. And so we wrote a song about... It's about... It's about when we first started dating. Her exes in the past had kind of like stifled who. who she was and which a lot of us go through. Yeah, of course. And when we first started dating after a couple months, I'd meet her friends and her friends

are like, thank you. And I said, for what? And I said, for giving us our friend back. She's her when she's with you. Yeah, yeah. So it's just about, the whole song is just about controlling relationships in general and letting somebody on either side, male or woman, it doesn't matter. You know, if you love somebody, love them for who they are and just let them be them.

Yeah. Oh, I love that. Yeah. is my favorite i um that's like my claim to fame he thanked me in one of his books oh awesome because i always promoted stuff because i just am such a fan oh that's awesome yeah i just bought her yeah one of those books one of his books for christmas yeah he's incredible i and it's like a masked a masked poet like nobody i know who he is nice i won't say it i would never give that away but yeah i feel like it's like my yeah that's your claim to fame yeah it really is i've seen his face i've seen

that guy's face three times. Taylor Snelson says, what? T. Snow's. I know Taylor, she's also. You know her? She's off. Yeah, go ahead. Oh, that's sweet.

I just said, what's up, T. She said, what's a song he wishes he would have wrote? Man in the Mirror, Michael Jackson. Oh, that's one of my favorite songs of all time. Absolutely. Oh, yeah, that's a good answer. The meaning, the melody, all of it. The performance, yeah.

the movie um what's his um this is it is that the movie this is it yeah i could watch that just back to back to back with my back to back McDonald's that really good we'll meet you with Taco Bell okay um Danny L I don't know their names are always like eight something whatever but she said what is the one thing you love about being a resident of California Disneyland oh yeah Disneyland I love Disneyland I love Disneyland I love Disneyland A big Disney fan. Yeah. The beach, Disneyland.

Yeah. It's my friends, my family. Yeah, of course. That makes sense. Are your family still there? A lot of them. Yeah. Okay.

And then Jessica Coleman wants to know, is there an artist that you would love to collaborate with on a song? I would love to collaborate A with Keith Urban. And if we're going other side of the spectrum, Dylan Francis, I'm just going to call it out. Who's that? Should I know who that is? Yeah, he's just one of my favorite DJs. Okay. I just think we'd make some fire.

Oh, that'd be cool. Yeah. Do a little bop. A little bop. I've never understood that. I see people like, man, this song is a bop. I'm not going to lie. I just tried to drop it right now for my first time.

And I was like, did you see the panic on my face? I was like, did I just say that right? Can you not say bop? Look at you. Doing a can you not. Can you not say bop, Caitlin? And like, did I use it in the right context? Like, was that even?

Was mine, right? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if you said bop right, because as soon as it came out and became a thing, I decided to never say it again. Yeah, that was like when people say lit. I promise myself I would never say lit. I say lit all the time now. But that song is a real bop is just the weirdest thing. I just picture of little kids bounce around on Barney. That song's a Bop. Yeah, Bop is a character on Barney. Bebop is a character on Barney. That's why you think of that. That's really funny. Well, you know what? It's a bob. And you know what? The difference is a bop. Somebody said that once, and I was like, oh, I don't know if that's a compliment. I like it. It's a bop. Yeah, it means you can get down with it. It's a bop.

Man, that's a bop. I don't know. I feel like you're going to start saying it. I don't know. That's all I got for you. Today's the most I've ever said it. Bob. I'm not saying it again.

I'm trying to make you say it one more time. Bop. Do you have a joke for me? I know I've prepped you for this, but I do have a joke for you. You do? Oh, yeah. Yes. Yes.

Is it a joke or more of a statement? Chuck Norris has a grizzly bear carpet in his living room. The bear isn't dead. It's just afraid to move. That's a good one. I really enjoy that one. Tell the other one. Chuck Norris jumped out of a plane.

His parachute didn't deploy. So he took it back the next day to get a full refund. I actually think I like that one the best. That's good. I always wanted to know, too, like, do people know who Chuck Norris is? Like, would my listeners know? God, I hope so. I hope so, too.

He's like the last real action hero. Yeah, just Google it. Do you remember Conan O'Brien when he used to do the, he'd pull like a lever and it was clips? Did you say lever? I was good to say lever, but I was like, I'm Canadian and I feel like Americans say different words than Canadians. Like, do you say data or data? Data. I say data.

There's certain things. And on that, I literally, I was trying to read my audience. and be like, do I say lever or lever? And I said, there you go. Plug, shameless plug. That's why you're here. Okay, what do you? Lever.

Okay, he pulled a Chuck Norris lever and they play like random clips. Do you remember that? No. But I'm going to Google it because that sounds awesome. Yeah, I feel like you'd really appreciate it. If you don't know who Chuck Norris is, just be better. Yeah, you know what? That's a good point.

That's polite. Stop listening to this podcast if you don't know. You're not my friend anymore. I heard another rumor that you were bitten by a king cobra. Yeah, I was. But after five days of agonizing pain, the cobra died. My mom's slow dance with Chuck Norris. Is that a joke?

That's a, he had it was like a puppy. It's a real true, true story. Before she met my stepdad that raised me, she's a flight attendant, and she had a layover. And you know when Chuck Norris all of a sudden became cool and really relevant again a few years ago when these jokes like Helen Keller's favorite colors, Chuck Norris started coming out? Yes. Remember? I had to do another one. Yeah.

That, uh, she said, why do you keep talking about Chuck Norris? And I said, why would you not? And she goes, I slow dance with him one night. You're like, is this a set up for a joke? Because she didn't think it was cool. She's like, what do you mean? She said, I was on a layover. I was in a bar.

And Chuck Norris walked up to me. And he said, can I ask you to dance? And we danced, hung out, talked for a bit, ball, bond. That was it. I said, don't get me wrong. I love my step. Matt, I love Matt. Yeah, yeah.

My dad that raised me. You're saying Chuck Norris could have been Chuck Norris. Wow. I know. Imagine your, but then you know what? Your life wouldn't be the same right now. It wouldn't. Everybody would call me Chuck Norris' stepkid.

Yeah, you'd just be like second fiddle to Chuck Norris and that's, you just wouldn't exist. So good at karate though. Well, you are? I would be. Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah. It's okay. It's all right.

Now you're really good at music, so there's that. And where can people find you and do you have like a website and people can see upcoming Things that you have going on.

Oh, God, I'm so glad she doesn't. Well, her voice is absolutely terrible. Really? Yeah, she can't write a song. the song with us. She can write it, but she can't sing it. She can be there.
