I'm sitting in for Bobby this week as we share clips from some of the podcasts that are on the Nashville podcast network. These are episodes that came out this week on the Bobbycast, My Four Things podcast, So We're Losers, Movie Mike's movie podcast, and Get Real with Caroline Hobby. Now, on my Four Things podcast, I talked with my cousin.

We know her on the Bobby Bone Show as my psychic cousin, but she is so much more than that. She has so much wisdom and insight. And being that I'm going to be selling my house and moving, we talked about address numerology. You can change the energy of your home. We also talked about conscious neuroplasticity, which I know. It sounds kind of, you know, complicated, but it's really not. It's you doing simple things, like small habit changes that are going to make big changes in your life.

Like just brushing your teeth with your non-dominate hands, stuff like that. On Movie Mike's movie podcast, Mike D went through the most underrated actors in their standout performances. He also talks about Apple's new rom-com called Fly Me to the Moon, starring Scarlet Johansson and Channing Tatum, which I think I'm going to have to check that movie out. And then this week on the Bobby cast, Co. Wetzel stopped by Bobby's house to talk about new music, why he feels people relate to his lyrics,

and then he shares what he learned from the first time that he went to jail. So let's say you're on the road and you're going to look. Who's your holdback guy that you would actually listen to if they're like, you are, you're always out of control,

but you're a little too out of control right now. Oh, man. My boy, Dre, is always that guy. but it's kind of bad because most of the time he's almost on my level. So he's like holding me back, but he's also kind of like, I want to see how this turns out type shit. But if he steps in, it goes, you got to chill. Do you listen?

No, not really. I don't. I don't. At all. Actually, yeah. You don't have an appointed holdback guy by somebody else either. I don't. I do.

I actually have a couple of them, but like you said, I just don't. I don't listen. If you don't want to listen, you're not going to listen. that's the deal. Once I get to that level, it's kind of like, oh, okay. I got that look at my eye and everybody kind of knows not to... Yeah, I mean, you're also like, I wouldn't fight. I wouldn't want to fight you. Oh, man. Not because you're talking about fighting, because you're just a big, strong guy.

That sucks. Yeah, well... You get people challenging you just because... No. Usually, I mean, I don't know. It's not... I mean, we don't go out looking for fights. I didn't say you did, but guys I know that would be like, MMA fighters, I won't even say UFC. People like challenge them because they'd be like, oh, let's go.

Nah, hell no. That's so stupid. That's so stupid. I feel like people be like, oh, Coetzel play football, big star. That doesn't happen at all? No, not really. It's always pretty much love, man. And like I said, man, we don't, I can't remember the last time I got to an actual fight with a.

With somebody that wasn't your fight? Yeah, somebody that I just was some random person. I mean, it's usually, I can't remember. It was a while back. We'll say that. It was a lot of it. I'm not going to mention any names, but have a friend, a very big country music star.

Got in a fight at the bar with somebody who didn't know, beat the crap out of the dude, and it was do everything possible to make sure it doesn't get out. Yeah, for sure. I mean, it was all layers. We have those two. Because what, he beat the crap out of the dude, and you've got to shut that crap down quick,

because all of a sudden they're, let me get a little money. Well, it'll go back to that, with us as well though like people kind of expect that out of us and so it's kind of oh well who gives a shit that's true until someone yeah until something serious happens yeah like my insurance my car insurance is higher because i'm a public profile have public because people will be like oh that's that dude oh my neck hurts a little more because they know they could probably get a little more money out of somebody it's a weird reason to have high insurance uh it's a good reason I'm happy about it.

Yeah, for sure. I wouldn't trade it. But, you know, being a, it's like I've watched you kind of have, I don't even know what fame is anymore because it's so fractured. It's so splintered. But I've watched you kind of get famous. Has your life changed at all because of the success that you've had? Have you had to alter, like you said, Walmart after dark? Do you make any decisions based on that?

Yeah, I do. And we kind of all do as far as, you know, going out to eat before shows. and things like that, you know. Especially close to the venue. Yeah. That's the word. That's the word. Well, you know, it'll be in a sprinter van that we've been on the windows.

But, yeah, I have. And just little minor ways, though, and my mom gets upset. Every time I come back home, she always wants me to take her out to dinner. I don't know if it's because she wants to show me off or whatever, but it's usually I'm so tired. And I just kind of want to be with the family and hang out, watch movies and stuff. And she's like, you're not going to take me out to dinner. If we go out, it's going to be an ordeal.

But she gets it, you know, so it's cool. Why do you think people relate to your lyrics so much? Because they're real and they're raw. It's something that, I think it's stuff that other people are not afraid to say. It would just kind of, I don't know, maybe would rather not say for fear of what it would do to their career, maybe. Do you feel that your lyrics are so raw and real, and I'm going to talk out this question after I say it to you, that sometimes you don't even relate to it anymore

because in a different part of your life, your raw and real lyrics were true to you then, but you've gotten older a bit. You've learned things where you can listen back and be like, man, that's so raw and real, but I don't even relate to that anymore. Yeah. Well, it's kind of like the February 28th just happened,

and that's just blown out of proportion, you know, and stuff like that. But I heard that song whenever I was 22, 23 years old. And now that I'm 31 looking back at it, it's like every night, it's like, damn, we can't sing this song yet. But people come to the show for that song, you know, a lot of people come just to hear that song. But songs like that, you know, it's, yeah, I've grown up a little bit, and I've gotten a little bit wiser, I'd say. And the songs that I wrote in college and how I was living my life back then are completely different than how I'm living my life now. So, yeah, absolutely. Like, it's, I don't know.

Still raw and real and true to who that was. Yes, absolutely. Got to be a little weird, though, to sing stuff that you don't feel anymore. It is. Your new record, though, what is it? Tell me about that. So what's that? And how has that changed with your...

It's getting into more relationship, like more raw and real about relationships and just life, you know, pretty much from what I just said, from growing up and in the scene and doing that kind of stuff and making that type of music to now what I'm making, you know, and how my life has changed from that. Any of these songs, were they borderline, I don't know if I want to share that much,

I don't know if I feel like saying it right now. Was there any of that where it's not, listen, you're going to say it if you feel it, but maybe you're like, maybe the time isn't right now. Yeah, we held back on a little bit of it. There was a couple of lines and songs that we had wrote, and it was like, do we really want to,

go there and then we would record them and then we would come back to them and be like listen to them for a couple days like ah maybe not let's let's hold off on it and just see how everybody takes to this kind of newer sound that we're putting out laugh a lot cast up roll things little fool for your soul things life ain't always pretty but hey it's pretty beautiful things laugh a little more things tight tighten up Becoress me. Said E.K. You're kicking it with four things.

With Amy Brown. Hey, it's Amy Brown from Four Things with Amy Brown. And here's what we talked about this week on my podcast. Part of this conscious neuroplasticity is changing up small habits in your day to create big change. And something that I have heard that we should try to incorporate is every once in a while, like say you always brush your teeth with your right hand, you, you know, switch it over to the left hand every now and then to switch things up. Is that sort of in alignment with what you're saying? I do that all the time with myself. I play games with myself and things that, and notice where I'm dominant. Because first of all, it's the awareness of I dominantly do this. So brushing your teeth is an easy place to start because most likely you brush with the dominant hand that comes naturally to you. So switching those things up. It's awkward. It doesn't feel good. It may take longer. But you're changing. brain patterns and you're building new neural networks between the right and the left

hemispheres of the brain. So you're connecting the logical, the pragmatic, with the intuitive, the creative. And it strengthens brain frequency and cognition, but it helps with intuition. It helps with discernment. It can help with regulating the nervous system. So a lot of times with clients, when we're working on intuitive development or awareness and cognition, I will. suggest things like switching stuff up. For example, for me, I notice it in a lot of little things

because I am very aware. And when I drive, I naturally lean a little bit to the left and I drive with my left hand. Like I'll put the right hand down, whatever is going on. And I've gotten to where I noticed that and then I will switch and just hold the steering wheel with the right hand and it's uncomfortable. And I have to adjust. I have to adjust my posture. I have to sit up straighter. I mean, Now, obviously, I'm attempting to be aware while I'm driving, but I notice where my body sinks into comfortable patterns and by just that awareness and those minor tweaks that are uncomfortable, and it's uncomfortable for me to turn the steering wheel without hand. And I know I should be driving with two hands, 10 and 2, but I'm talking about things that I notice of shaving your legs. Which hand do you

open the front or back door with? You can notice and play with these things, and the more conscious you are the more, first of all, the more aware, which is really a place for intuitive development. And secondly, when I'm doing something like brushing my teeth and it is awkward with the non-dominate hand, that's when I laugh, first and foremost, which shoots chemicals into the body, into the brain, which are happy receptors, serotonin, all the things that are released. And then I laugh a little bit because it's awkward. And then I set intentions. You know, I am consciously shifting and developing new neural networks in my brain. Today I am wiring myself for happiness and joy and ease and laughter as I'm smiling and feeling awkward. It's easy places to get aware to set

intentions to use your biology and chemistry in the body that is also enhancing and tapping into your intuition. You mentioned driving. So another one that I've heard of before is if you're used to turning left out of your neighborhood to go wherever you're going, but you have an option to turn right, go that way to work occasionally to switch up that as well. Yeah, it's about spontaneity. And like I always say, go to a different grocery store. Even if it takes you 20 more minutes to get to that grocery store, and this is the simplest example I can give, when I go to a different grocery store,

I don't naturally know, oh, the granola is on this aisle, you know, at this end cap, in this section, I have to look up, I have to find the granola or, whatever it is that I'm looking for on my list, but I have to pay attention. I have to read signs. I have to wander down aisles because things are not in the place where I'm familiar. So I'm busting up patterns. But also now we have all these navigation systems on our phone and our vehicles.

Everything is automated. Do you remember when we pulled out maps or we asked for directions? A lot of times, if I'm going somewhere and I don't know the exact route, I will map it and look it up and then I will turn the phone off and I will drive. and I will drive. If I have time, if I'm not in a rush, simple things like that, they're really good for anti-aging or at least, I don't, maybe that's not the best way to say it, but vitality, revitalizing your brain, which can also help prevent things like Alzheimer's dementia,

working on neuroplasticity. But it really is good for helping people, helping us tap into intuition and spontaneity, which is that other hemisphere of the brain that we don't. drop into as easily, but the more we practice it in those little things and consciously, the easier it is to tap into intuition, creativity, and connect it with the logical and the practical. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the fourth. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this

platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment, and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast. It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or

wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok podcast network on TikTok. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends, oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care, so they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves.

Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, everyone? I'm Ego Vodom. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo.

Woo! My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved.

And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar. of, you know, the cat just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck.

Listen to thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. We're going to do it live. We are the one, two, three, so are losers. What up, everybody. I am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports. I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a Sports genius.

Y'all, it's Sisson. I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with Bayser, my wife. We do have a farm. It's beautiful. A lot of acreage. No animals. A lot of crops, hopefully soon. Corn, pumpkins.

Rye, I believe. Maybe a little fescue. To be determined. Over to you, Coach. And here's a clip from this week's episode of the store losers. And here's a clip from one of the episodes this week. on the sore losers. Take this flip and play it.

Work as a firefighter. Then on the day he's off, he would be a mover to make extra money. So they're doubling up, two salaries. Or he would take a rat. You get paid more so you'd work 48 hours and then you're off a day. But the great thing is, for vacation, he would take four days off

and he'd have two and a half weeks off. So he could go on vacation for two and a half weeks by taking four days off. That's when it's the best job in America. Not so much when you got back. So many freaking amazing things. But Mark. Thanks to our service member. He got called one time on a fat lady.

And she was on her bed. Couldn't get up. Overweight, right. Trying to take her to the hospital. And they're like, we'll just drag her out on the mattress. Ladies! Hey, quiet! Disrespect number two, put it on the board. Yep. So they said, I'll just pull her out in the mattress. So they get, they can't get out the door.

And one dude just starts yelling, Fold her like a taco Folder like a taco Fourth meal One of those new Césidias were the cheese on the outside Cantinas So they literally

Cheese roll up man They literally folded this freaking lady In her mattress Pets the potatoes hit her with the old nacho fries They fold her like a taco Taco pizza What is it Mexican pizza So they folded her like a taco to get her out of the house.

They'll do it. Dude, we'd be good on the force together. I mean, those stories he used to tell me were fantastic. Fantastic. Oh, you're seeing, I mean, it also has a lot of death and stuff like that. Yeah, he did have one death where the guy, he showed up. That dude was dead in bed and he died while banging a chick. went into cardiac arrest.

Went down fighting. And the lady is like freaking out. She's in the driveway. She's like, I got to go. I got to go. Like, I'm out of here. And they're like, no, you're going to have to talk to police, you know, because fire is first one there.

And she's like, no, no, no, I can't. I've got to go. And they're like, ma'am, you're not in trouble. Don't worry. Like, you know what I mean? Like, we just, they just have to get a statement. Footbar Ray, fire police ambulance. And she said, well, you don't understand.

his girlfriend's going to be home any minute. This just took a turn. And it's like, oh no, we're about to have some drama. We're about to have some drama. So she knew she was the sidepiece. And he died while she's banging the side piece. And she was ready to get out. She's like, I don't want to deal with it.

Rest in peace. It wasn't McNair. No, no. Similar situation. San Antonio. San Antonio, Texas. Different city. Yeah.

So that was one of the funnier ones that he had. But I didn't realize we were going to do stories from the fire department. We got to take a break, bro. We do? Yeah. Oh, no? That was a lot to stomach. I mean, we took a break after the vomit.

Our second outro break is after the... I mean, we're doing a lot of bodily fluids today. We just launched new advertising, and this is what they're tuning into. I don't think we just launched new advertising. I've never seen it before, and now Justin had an... article written on him a couple days ago. It said Ray and Justin on the brink of a relationship disaster or something.

And Justin, what the fuck is this? It's an actual article written about it. And it was on Bobby Bowens. Oh, they wrote it like an article about our show? Yes. I thought you meant. No, dude. Hold on. And so my friends are seeing this crap.

They're like, what is this? I thought you meant that someone interviewed Justin about his job at Vanney. Like he was in a van. like press release. Things are starting to get released titled after how you title them about our podcast. So so far today, if you were brainstorming, what would you title today's podcast? Lunchbox had a sleepless night of vomiting.

People are like, oh my gosh, he's back on the bottle. And then that's a front page headline where you just think you're titling it for Iheart. Dude, you're titling it for websites, Instagram, all over. They blast it all over. Hey, it's Mike D. And this week, a movie, My, My, Spooey podcast. I shared my top five most underrated actors. These are all actors that I watch who instantly make a movie better but don't get the recognition

or more importantly sometimes do not get the money they deserve. So I want to share a couple of them with you here on this segment. But be sure to check on my full podcast to hear all these deep dives that I do on topics like this. Also, spoiler-free movie reviews and breaking down all the latest trailers of movies coming out in theaters and streaming at home for you. Be sure to check it out. I'd appreciate it. With the actor who inspired this entire list after watching Civil War, which I'll get into my full thoughts later, I saw Jesse Plymins in that.

And he immediately made that movie better. And that is what he always does. And Jesse Plemons has been at it for so long. He's a child actor. You're a fan of Friday Night Lights. You're probably familiar with his work. He's done a lot in TV. And that's not even what I'm going to dive into here.

but he has really become one of my favorite actors. Maybe it's because he's from Dallas, Texas, so there's some hometown bias there. But I feel like for a very long time, Jesse Plemons was somebody who I would see in so many movies and TV shows. And oftentimes there are people like that that even though I'm exposed to their work so much, I don't know their name.

And that is unfair of me. And that is why I'm doing this episode today because there are so many people like that that we appreciate, but we undervalue because they aren't the Brad Pitts. They aren't the Leonardo DiCaprio's. They aren't the Kate Winslets of Hollywood. But they are doing the roles that nobody else can do the hard work. Now, if there was a blue-color worker in Hollywood,

it would be these people on this list because they are consistently in good movies and making things that inspire me. And not only that, giving us all different kinds of looks. The range of these actors is why I decided to include every single person on this list because they can do it all. They can do big dramas. They can do comedies.

And that is something that is so undervalued. And oftentimes the people at the top really could just only do one thing really well. And that is what they get paid for. Tom Cruise. He's really great at action. I'm not the biggest fan of his drama movies, but you could argue that. The Rock is only really good at one thing. But Jesse Plymonds, if you look at the list of,

movies he's done, there are so many great ones to pick from where he looks completely different and acts like a different character in every single movie where he can do the dramas, he can do the comedies. And the movie that really set him apart in my mind and solidified him in my list of actors, I'm going to watch everything they are in now, was Killers of the Flower Moon, which right now is his best role. Because he commanded the screen so much. in that movie, and I really wish he had a bigger role in that because, oh, I feel that way about every single movie he's in. Before that, I would say one of my favorite movies of his is called Game Night, which is a very generic title for a movie, and one that I thought was going to be

kind of a waste of time. You also have Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams, but that is a movie that has a bad title that doesn't really tell you a whole lot about it. In any comedy, there's always one scene that I feel defines the entire movie that I could forget all the other plot points, but there's going to be one scene that sticks out to me. And that scene for me in this movie is whenever Rachel McAdams and Jason Bateman get home from grocery shopping, they're going to have the game night, but they don't want to invite Jesse Plyman's character because he's kind of weird and they don't want him interacting with all their friends. So they have this iconic interaction. Three bags of Tostito scoops, I notice. It was a special

on these tonight. Three for one. Three for one. Yep. How can that be profitable for Frito A? If I could get a movie quote tattooed in my body, it would be in honor of Jesse Plemons. How could that be profitable for Frito L.A?

A classic, he deserves all the praise. He is an underrated actor, in my opinion. Next up on my list is Ben Foster, who is somebody who acts with so much emotion, I cannot believe that he is not more famous. My favorite movie of his is Alpha Dog, where he acted his face off. And it's such a sad story. But in this movie, Ben Foster plays kind of a junkie who gets into some trouble with a drug dealer.

He refuses to pay him. This drug dealer is a young guy thinks he's the king of L.A., so he's going to kidnap Ben Foster's character's brother, played by Anton Yelchin, who sadly passed away. And maybe that's why this movie still hits me on a weird emotional level just knowing how he tragically died. But Ben Foster is so ferocious in this movie. Some people would argue that he overacted a bit. I remember when the reviews came out for this movie back in 2007, they were saying that Ben Foster was overdramatic in this role. I don't think that is the case whatsoever because he is playing into his character so well.

And I love it when an actor goes to that level, shows you that range of, emotion. Ben Foster almost has this patented yell and anger look on his face. And he makes me feel what he is feeling in this movie. He goes from rage to sadness to fighting Emil Hirsch's character and breaking into his house. So it's my favorite performance of his. Another really great movie that Ben Foster was in was a Western crime movie called Hell or High Water that came out in 2016. And originally I was interested in this movie because it gave me a lot of vibes of no country for old men. Kind of shot the same way. It has similar cinematography.

It was actually also shot and takes place out in West Texas. Chris Pine plays his brother in the movie and they're going around Texas robbing different banks. And then Jeff Bridges plays a Texas Ranger who tracks them down and tries to stop them. It really is one of the best modern-day westerns. We don't really get a whole lot of them anymore. And Hell or Highwater was a movie that got a lot of praise and a lot of buzz whenever it first came out. But rarely do I hear people talk about this movie now. So if you're looking for just a fun watch, and also if you are somebody like me,

who needs a movie to watch with a father figure in your life. That is always hard to do. My dad does not watch movies whatsoever. He doesn't watch TV. He doesn't watch movies. Anytime we want to take him out to a movie, he doesn't want to go because he knows he's going to fall asleep within five 10 minutes. All my dad does is work, sleep, eat, mow the lawn and drink beer. He has no time for anything. So oftentimes I have trouble bonding with him over any kind of movie. And if I do

want to pick a movie, it has to have something with guns, chases, police, and a lot of foul language because my dad always finds it hilarious when people cuss in a movie. So already thinking ahead for you, if you need an activity for the father figure in your life coming up, for Father's Day in a couple of months, hell or high water is a great place to start, and you will not be disappointed with Ben Foster performance. That is why he's on this list. Hey, y'all. It's Caroline Hobby from Get Real with Caroline Hobby, and here is a clip from this week's episode.

So how did this all get going? Y'all are brothers. So you're all like the Kelsey brothers of rock and roll, right? You know, because two brothers making all this history together, which is really awesome. How did it get going? Y'all are in separate bands. AJ you originally were the drummer of Razzle. I mean, we started, we went to all the concerts together when we were

Orange County kids. Yeah, Orange County kids. That was a big scene too, right? Well, there were a lot. I mean, OCs massive. But as far as the music scene goes, we were more of a Hollywood scene band. So there was like being young kids in high school. There were no venues that were, you know, under 18.

So our friends from school had to make the track. get party buses and buss everybody up to like the Roxy and the whiskey. And so those are the shows. That's where we kind of got our roots and our school as far as like how to market a band and how to what did you do it? How did you market a band back then? How old were y'all? Gorilla style. Like what does that even mean? You were like 14, 50s. How do you do that on your 14? We just, I pile on his car because I wasn't driving yet. I was here. I was two years older. We went to, we went to, we went to, we went promoting every Friday and Saturday night. It was never a matter of where we were going. It was just a matter. Well, we,

Pre-social media. We had no social media. It was all word of mouth. So me and T-Bone, who he runs House of Blues now in Anaheim, but he grew up with us and he was like our, he just kind of got thrown into the mix. You know, hey, dude, you're going to be the tour manager. Okay. I love that, though. It's like builds.

Y'all built it as a family from such a young age. It's like a different kind of band and bond that way. It was, yeah, it was full brotherhood from. Brotherhood. And it still feels that way. It's not like, it's talent, but it's also the brotherhood aspect that you just can't. can't recreate that as you get older. Okay, so T-Bone, he's tour managing.

What are you doing? How does he know how to do this? So him and I, in high school back then, we would have to take these, it was called ROP. I don't know if they still have that, but it was like trade school and you would leave, you know, you would leave high school at lunchtime. You would go to this other campus and you would learn how to build brick walls or fix cars or we took print shop. And so we made flyers and we were able to get reams of paper at cost.

And so we would print like 5,000 flyers, a whole case of flyers for shows. And then we would just go relentlessly and just pass them out, put them in stores. Like hand-to-hand combat. Stacks, not even exaggerating like this big, like freezing coal. We just put gloves on and grab some, grab a bottle. Sorry. Grab a bottle of whiskey. Just chill with a microphone.

Can you hear that? Hey, test, test is this thing on? Just one too. But yeah, it was fun though. We had a good time. Like, it was the whole band we get together and we were meeting new people and we're meeting chicks and we were just doing our thing. How did y'all know you wanted to be a rock star though?

Because if you're 14 years old, you're 16, right? Two years apart? Is that right? Y'all are so young. How did you guys even get the grand notion to be rock stars and then actually pursue it? Who in your life helped, were your parents just like, go get it, boys? Like, how did y'all have this freedom just to go see? so hard like you did into this. It's such a young age. A combination of a few things, I think.

You know, our grandfather was a jazz musician. So we were always around. Like, he had an organ in his living room and he was, and he had a drum set in the garage. So he was always playing something, always singing, and playing the adult standards. And we always thought that was just so cool. But our dad was in radio. Our dad was a radio DJ our whole lives. So we had a lot. And then, and then really it took, like, I think going to a rock show, going to a rock show, going to a a concert and we just like looked at each other and just like couldn't believe we were nine here i was nine and he was seven our dad took us to a concert what show iron maiden okay okay starting you all off opening for UFOs it's super random but we y'all went hard from the start yeah we were heavy metal

kids and and right from the very beginning we were like that's what we want to do when we grew up but we didn't know how we were going to do it you know i wasn't even i didn't play guitar yet and he you know, we were just like, we want to do that. And then together as years. There was a mutual dream that hit you at the same time? Yeah. Was that when the dream hit? I think so.

I mean, we lived. Like the dream literally hit you at the same time. Yeah. I mean, that was the impact, you know, that an arena rock show had. You know, this is what we need to do together. If you look at pictures, like you talk about fake it to you and make it, we literally had like broomsticks and fake sweat. We'd wet our hair and we were just posing for pictures and like, you know, singing a lot.

We did. We just, we thought, it's crazy being that young and just. going, okay, that's what we're going to do. Like, now what we got to do to get there and just doing all those little things, you know, and just watching, watching a build. You all had different bands in the beginning. Yeah, not for very long, but yeah, because he, you know, actually, you'll tell your story.

How did y'all? Yeah. Because at 16, I was a little older and I was, I was, I was living with my dad. He was living with my mom for a couple years. We were kind of, and I dropped out of school. Your parents were divorced? Yeah. At that age, y'all each lived with a different parent?

Just for like at that time, like at 16, I moved in with my dad and, you know, dropped out of high school so I could just focus on being in a rock band. And I was in a band with some older dudes and we were playing bars a couple nights a week and rehearsing three nights a week. And that was kind of my almost like my junior college, if you will. I just was learning and observing and all that. And then a couple years later when AJ and Kevin started driving and started, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, a couple years into puberty and then, and we were like, hey, we should all do this together. So we, you know, I just was kind of. Did you guys miss each other when y'all didn't live together? Did you even think about it?

We were still, we were always doing things together, you know. I was always. I never knew that piece of the story. And yeah, we, we lived, I don't know, two miles from each other. And y'all's parents get along, though. Did they always? We live together here in Nashville. Yeah. Yeah, that's the most epic divorce story ever. That's crazy. That's a whole other. Our mom and dad and our mom's boyfriend share a place here in Nashville.

What? I mean, come on. That's amazing. That's the dream right there. To be able to realize, okay, we love, we love each other, but we're not going to be together, but we still love our family. And then to be able to circle back around with a new boyfriend, all of them live together, that's next level. It's pretty crazy. All right. I hope you enjoyed this week's Sunday sampler.
