We're not Kelly's celebration of P. Diddy being acquitted of most charges. We're not, I don't think we're celebrating that. Wow, just a couple of rich guys, just enjoying a rich guy's success. I'm rich too now?

Yeah, this is the blue, we're over here on the blue collar side of the table, guys. Yeah, you're not blue collar. Bobby, why don't you come off your perch and introduce our guest. You have a pool. We're hanging out. What?

We've been talking, we've been DMing, I snuck into his DMs, Jay. That was a good intro. Thanks, buddy. That was really good. I mean been talking, we've been talking, we've been DMing, I snuck into his DMs. Yeah. That was a good intro. Thanks buddy.

That was really good. I mean it would be better if you didn't say that I did good, because that's something that I do bad. Maybe you just shut your trap. I was so happy for you. And write me an email later and go, dude today was good, your intro was awesome. Who the fuck is Christine?

She left because of the way you talked to her. She's just over it? Yeah, she's done. Cause you'd be in a real switch today. But Bobby, did you slip into his DMs or did you step into his? I slipped into him. It's weird when you DM be in a real switch today. But Bobby, did you slip into his DMs, or did you step into it? I slipped into them. It's weird, because when you DM a dude, it's like,

You up? Hey, dude, you up? Hey, player. Right? You did, and I was very eager, because I've been a fan of yours for a while. So it was cool, man. Well, there is sometimes you go, all right, cool.

You just be, hey, man, big fan. But great, man. Love you. Tickets are available. Here's my link. All right, cool, you just be, hey man, big fan, but great man, love you, tickets are available, here's my link. All right, dude, cool. But this is when you were just singing in your room. Yeah. On your microphone for yourself, right?

Very much like this, just in my bedroom, yeah, yeah, absolutely. And here's what blew me away. And we actually started a game on the show. Have you heard about it? Well, I see it right here at the top of the problem. Where, if you look at you. This is okay so you know there was a black guy here

and we did this, so. It's above board, it's sanctioned. Okay, good. Yeah, we were blocked up. Yeah, when you look at you, it's like, okay, I see you, and then you sing and it's like, it doesn't match. The voice doesn't match the face.

I'll give you that. And it's nuts how incredible you sing. But you do not. You look like you'd be like, you know, guys, check it out. Call of Duty came out today, and they got two nerds. You look a little redheaded, white nerdy guy, but you sing like fucking butter, dude. Thanks, man.

Amazing. And here's the thing. with the sweet you still you still you you see me but like you look like you work at a waffle house explain it to me at a waffle house I didn't say look fat middle-aged black woman yeah man it's like and you seem to be getting cooler bro like is that fat middle-aged black woman. He's from Alabama. Yeah man, it's like, and you seem to be getting cooler bro. Maybe, my cool might be escalating. I think I'm like, I got a message from Sharon Stone. She also slid into my DMs. Shit.

Wow. He chose you. Yeah, I chose you man. No, but she was basically saying like, hey, let me style you. So we haven't gotten there yet But we're like in the works of making that happen Sharon Stone. Yeah Sharon Stone. Isn't that crazy? That's not Gonna be like skirts no underwear

And constantly keep on crossing and crossing your legs I'm just telling you what work for me you You do what you gotta do. In the same week, it was like Kenny G, Ghostface Killah, and Sharon Stone, and it just made no sense. Coming from where I come from, that makes no sense at all. Did Ghostface Killah think you were the guy that bought the album and raised the price of A's Medicine? Martin Screlli, no, no.

No, he sent me a message, he was like, A is Ghostface, strong arm, strong arm, from Wu Tang, big fan, let's do something. I'm like, this is insane. That's amazing. That's pretty great. That's crazy. And now you went from your bedroom,

is that where it was all done? Yeah, I was doing all those covers in my bedroom, yeah. And now you did the Apollo? Yeah, man. And you got a standing ovation? I mean, everybody stood, when you walked out too, they were like, fuck this. Yeah, I know.

I mean, it was, and then all of a sudden. Was there hubbub in the room? There was hubbub. There was some hubbub. There was a lot of side eye, and this guy's about to like suck, and yeah. Damn. Wow. Of all day to wear your Confederate flag made tuxedo.

Yeah, it didn't go. He goes, guys, I'm gonna go back, flip costumes, come back out here, try this again. This is impressive, but how do you do with the whites? Well, they like me too. I mean, I'm just kind of, I'm happy for everybody. That's sweet. And you went out and you got the standing ovation,

they all stood up, mid-song, that must have blew you away, right? My eyes were closed almost the entire time until I looked over at Steve Harvey and he's like, stank-facin'. And I was like, okay, we got this. And then- But Steve was a little like, ugh.

He was a little skeptical too, yeah. He was sighed out at you when you were out there too. Oh, of course. Survey says, white boy. Yeah. All 100 people said, white boy. So how did you get plucked out of your bedroom and your house to now being on Apollo,

your America's Got Talent, and now you're touring with Gary Clark Jr. right now? Gary Clark Jr. Yeah man, it's all been like a cumulative thing. This is kind of an older thing. It's 2018 and then I did America's Got Talent after that. We were talking before we went on, it's like I've had a couple of these things

where you think, oh this is my break, I've had a couple of these things where you think, oh, this is my break, I'm about to make it. And then you get your 10 minutes of fame and that's it. America's Got Talent was an in and out. Yeah, me and him got into a fight, it was kind of a whole thing. You and who? Me and Simon Cowell.

Oh really? It was kind of nuts, he literally comes out, starts singing, the place is going nuts. Everybody's like, this is awesome. And Simon just goes, wait a minute, hang on one second. And he makes him, he goes, why don't you go, you're not doing it, why don't you go do it, come back and pick another song.

Then he comes back, gets a song he's never done, he goes, I might fuck it up, but I'm gonna try it. He's killing it again, and Simon goes, hang on, wait a sec, and he's like, he kept giving him like pep talks. He's like, shut the fuck up. Crowd starts booing? No. No, but I'll tell you.

The crowd's like, get him out of here, this piece of shit. I don't know if, can you cuss on here? Yeah. What? I haven't even pep talked. Have you heard the show? Can't believe we're all wearing clothes still.

Can get cursed on the show. The fucked up thing is that in reality, him stopping me is like a TV edit point. When I was doing it, I'd already done the full song, but I came out and did. Yeah, I got a standing ovation from the crowd. Wow. And then it goes down to a line of judges, love it, love it,

love it. Then it gets to Simon. He's like, Lamont, can I stop you? I'm like, that's fucking weird, because I'm done. And that's the TV edit point. Wow. So my contrarian behavior is just because I'm like,

I could kinda see what he was doing. I had done a thing when I was like 19. I did, it was called The X Factor. And I had an interaction with him when I was 19. He was like, he said, I love your voice, but I wish it was in a different body. So when I came back and I knew I was gonna see him again, I knew he was gonna be like a dick.

So I kinda. So he kinda knew you a little bit. He didn't know me, but I knew what his whole record was gonna be. Last Comic Standing was sorta like that. You could see, you could watch it at times where you go, oh, they're actively trying to like fuck with, yeah, like define spots where they can make you look like an asshole.

They took on mine when I did the last comic stand, I videotaped it, and I got trouble for this. The guys who booked The Tonight Show were the guys who did it. And I had a little video camera and I videotaped it. They were talking to us, telling us about your rules, and we were like this, just listening. And they took that face, and they added it to a sound bed

when they went, the next contest. And I was like this. But I never did that. The whole time I was there, I'm like, I'm not winning. I kept saying, I'm not getting it I kept saying, I'm not getting it. On stage, I'm like, it's not gonna be me. Never getting this. I just kept saying that over and over again,

and they didn't edit. They just edited me sad, but it was me listening to instructions. There was a guy stopping in the middle, and then when I was leaving, they were like, thank you, and then I was leaving. I just left without making a stink, and I was like, yeah, sure.

I started walking home, they go, wait, wait, Jay. Does anybody actually pay to hear that shit? And I was like, yeah, no, not me guys. I'm not like you're not gonna get me to flip out on TV over They said that yeah. Yeah, who said that the two guys it was a Barry Katz Jay Jay more year Wow, that's right. You didn't flip out Ben Bailey I had to hold outside because he was gonna go back in and flip tables and beat the shit out of everybody in the room How about when they're shades you and they try to get you like that was the thing I thought was the craziest when they fucked they did like a background thing on me the one year and Then just the last person they said for the people moving on was like a lady an older lady

He was her first time ever on stage and I like this thing is such horseshit And there was leaving they go wait you have to do exit interviews And I was like nah that I'm leaving and they go well. He you have to do exit interviews. And I was like, nah, then I'm leaving. And they go, well, we can't, we need you for an exit interview. I go, well, I don't know what, I'm leaving. You can't make me do that. And I just left. I was like, that's fucking insane.

We need you. Hey, sorry we made you look like a dumb ass. Would you mind sitting around and maybe saying some other stupid shit? They should get the exit interviews before you get kicked off. Like, there's no incentive to sit around. But the same thing happened to me.

They want to goad a negative response. You'd be like, fuck this, and crying or anything like that. But isn't it better almost to lean into that just for the viral moment now? You would think that that's bad, but if you lean into it, you'd be like, this guy's a psycho. I got to go check him out. There was a girl who used to sing at the karaoke.

I would run around the corner from the Comedy Cellar. Her name's Jules. I don't know what her thing is. Remember Jules? There was a girl who used to sing at the karaoke, I would run around the corner from the Comedy Cellar, named Jules, I don't know what her thing, remember Jules? And she can carry a voice, she can carry a tune, but she was very nasally. But a lot of black guys, because of her body, told her she was better than she was. Then, she went on American Idol,

and like was really hyped up going in, going in for it. And then when she got back from it, didn't really mention that she was like, you know, didn't really come up going in, going in for it. And then when she got back from it, didn't really mention that she was like, it didn't really come up again anymore. And we watched the season and they did put it, she tried to sing Rolling in the Deep and they just did what the editing was, she was wearing leather pants.

So they pot down her singing and it's just the whole performance like, errrr, errrr, errrr, errrr, errrr, errrr, errrr, and she's like her pants were squeaking around all the time. We're like damn dude, they just fucked her. Jesus Christ. I mean she was not good. But she had big floppy Jewish tits

and I'm not gonna tell her that. Now you have a band, do you have a band in life? I got a band in life, yeah man. But you can just go out by yourself, do you ever just do that? I can, like I'll be doing something for y'all here in a little bit. I don't prefer to do it by myself. It's okay You know playing with yourself is not fun. Who says that you know, I was going out all day today

Bobby Bobby different Sorry, thanks Jay, but I've got a I've got a keys player I've been playing with for 14 years bass player for eight Yeah, I just got a group of homies that we've been doing it for forever. And they're good friends. Good friends, man. We played grocery store grand openings and funerals and shit. I don't know shit.

I've done every kind of gig you could imagine. When did you find out that you had that voice? I was like 18 or 19. I was playing guitar in a band, not singing, and I went to go visit my aunt and uncle for Christmas or Thanksgiving or something, and my aunt had a guitar. She never heard me sing. So my sister recorded me. I was playing for my aunt and uncle for Christmas or Thanksgiving or something, and my aunt had a guitar. She never heard me sing.

Man, this is like eight days in a row that I've been on, so like, I might suck. No, no, no way.

In fact, what if I just merely vanilla-vinyl eat the shit out of you? And this has all been a ruse just to get here right now if you sounded like Bill Burr when you started to sing The cameras just slugger on the room to see us all going All right, so Actually be great if you sucked right now I'm for it man. I just want to say it out loud, because I want you to know I won't do it. But the funniest thing to do would be to continuously stop you and ask you to go do a different song. That would be great.

I'm gonna stop you right there. First of all, why did you do that when he was doing it? That would be great. No way, dude. I couldn't have possibly. It's not my personality to do it for real. I just want you to know that I wanted to do it. Text me, I could't possibly it's not my personality to do it for real I just want you to know that I wanted to do it text me. I could have done it. Let me stop you right there I don't know what this fucking shitty song is you're doing But let's do a different one come back in 15 minutes and try to fix everything

Yeah, man. Yeah, I am. I don't know if I sound it, but I definitely... A little bit. Fun place to grow up? That's a very loose word. I love Alabama, and I talk about it all the time. I'm like, I'm from Alabama.

I'm very proud to be there, But it's not like big city shit. There's a lot of cool stuff to do. But you must have spent a lot of time alone to learn and then practice and all that stuff. For sure. High school, there was guys who were, at the time, really good. And I was like, I sucked. So I spent about two summers in my bedroom,

I mean, just really getting after it. You get a lot of chicks playing the guitar in Alabama? I've had a handful. It's not like, you know, I'm not like just drowning in it. But, you know, I've had one committed relationship when I was 20 to the time I was 29, and then immediately got out of that and got into, I'm engaged again, I got a baby.

Man, it's like I got two things. My mom is this thing fucking working or is this thing? Yeah, okay. It's working. So my mom was like Bill Withers and Al Green and Marvin Gaye. All the soul stuff came from

my mom. Right. And then my dad was like, you know, typical Alabama dudes like Southern Rock, Skinner, Allman Brothers, Steve Ray Vaughn So the guitar stuff kind of comes from Southern Rock and then the soul stuff comes from my mom It's just kind of a hodgepodge of that. Were they musicians at all? No, I'm the first musician in my family No shit. Yeah, the first one you had a piano though. Is that for you? No, I don't have a piano that was like at my aunt and uncle's house. Oh, they have yeah Yeah, did your parents break up because your father was insecure because your mom liked black music so much?

No, they did though. They did get divorced though. Ah, Jesus, Jay. No, it's fine though, man. I call that soul music. He knew something was up. That's how he got all this soul, because he got divorced.

Not for real, man. My dad got a guitar when I was in second grade, especially my second grade Christmas present And I wasn't allowed to touch it when they got divorced. He just left it so Nirvana and fucking angsty shit and then right just from YouTube picking up like tabs and stuff dude tabs was the first thing Yeah, like Olga was the first site the online guitar Academy or some shit I mean I try I the time that I tried to learn how to play guitar, when I just felt like I was getting a couple chords, Guitar Hero came out.

Yeah. And I was in a touring band, it turns out, already. And we were shredding up every night. But now, I'm sorry, I think that took a lot of people off. I think so too. Guitar Hero. From learning actual guitar. If you were a young person that was gonna learn, then they tried to make a game that would teach you,

it's like Rocksmith, that would teach you guitar, but like, no one got that, and you're like, dude, I gotta learn something still? I'm just trying to play a game, man. I bought a $1,600 Italian acoustic electric guitar, and I didn't know how to play. I had a guy who was gonna give me a lesson, and I went to his house with this amazing guitar that I didn't know how to play, and he didn't show up.

And then I just never played the guitar again. He took one shot at it? I got one shot and I had this fucking beautiful. Where is it? My uncle took it. He just took it from me. Fucking goddamn. So this next song's about that.

Bobby's uncle was on heroin. Do we get the guitar through the, let me hear the guitar. Oh, there we go. There we go. Yeah, the guitar wasn't coming through the speakers on the first one. All right, you got another one? Yeah, sure, man.

Let's go. Do you need more on your headphones? Yeah, I've actually got nothing on my headphones right now. You know, Mike, a lot of people get angry at Bobby who work here because they think he got the job because his parents own a piece of serious XM. How's that, Is that better? Is that good? There you go.

Alright. Sitting in the morning sun I'll be sitting when the evening comes Watching the ships row in Then I'll watch them roll away again I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay watching that time fall away sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time I left my home in Georgia, headed for the fiscal bay I had nothing to live for, looked like nothing's gonna come my way So I'm sitting on the dark of the bay Watching that time roll away

Sitting on the dark of the bay Wasting time Oh, looks like nothing's gonna change. Everything still remains the same. I can't do what ten people tell me to do, y'all. So I guess I'll remain the same. Sitting here, resting my bones In this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's been two thousand miles of a long journey Just to make this dark my home I'm just sitting on the dark of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sitting on the dark of the bay Wasting time Break it down now y'all Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do in the beginning. You even got Mikey Becky on bobbin head on that. He only likes Italian opera and crooners. That was great.

What's that? Yeah, come sit back down man. Yeah man, please. Do you play any, do you have any original songs that you wrote? I do man. Yeah? We're gonna end on one of those.

You got an album out now, what's going on? What are you touring? Yeah, I signed a deal man. You signed a deal? How many, like 30 million? What'd you get? No, nothing like that deal, man. You signed a deal? How many? Like 30 million? What'd you get? No. Was it with that old guy from Boston who blessed you? Yes.

It was like 30 million in Alabama books, which is... Nice. Damn, I wish it was Lou Pearlman. He goes, you know what? I think the guy's turned it around. This time he's gonna do it right. But yeah, man, I've dropped two singles. I would have played those today. They're a little bit more in depth. I need like a band You need a band. Yeah, God if I know how to do that

I would just take a guitar and an amp to like some coffee shop bus and just get it so much pussy. Absolutely Busking busking is too outside and smelly. No, I'm talking about I know what you're saying Right, right? A nice little fucking hipster coffee shop, and I would be in there just scamming trim all day. Well, he's on tour. It doesn't work that way. My house is a tour.

Coffee shops are not the place. Is the tour like, do you guys party crazy afterwards, bring girls back to the bus? No, no, no. First and foremost, no. He's married, he has a kid. I'm very much committed in my relationship. And no, we don't do anything like that.

Time stamp that. Well, it's not, you're out with Gary. Yeah. We've met Gary and hung out backstage with Gary. It's not a real party scene. You're friends with Gary. Yeah, but I'm saying, it's not really a party scene backstage, it's like everyone hanging out.

Chill, chill hang. He's the coolest guy in the world, man. Yeah, no, we don't get fucked up, really. My band members smoke weed and shit, but we don't really get drunk and shit. We just, you know how it is, guy in the world, man. Yeah, no, we don't get fucked up, really. My band members smoke weed and shit, but we don't really get drunk and shit. We just, you know how it is, you know the show. I don't know how it is for y'all, but we get done. Go to the Ramada or the Comfort Inn

or whatever we're staying at and go to sleep, wake up and go to the next place. Yeah, no. Vecchione's clean living. Everything, he eats clean on the road somehow. Yeah, good for you, man. I don't do shit either. I've gained at least seven pounds in the last two weeks.

Yeah, me too. Oh, the road's rough. Me too. Seven. What do you do? You stop eating at 6 PM? 7 to 6 PM. But then the food on the road has all those oils and all

that stuff in it. The seed oils. Yeah, seed oils. That's what everybody's talking about these days, is the seed, those goddamn seed oils. And then it addiction to the food. But luckily, you know, you should try it. I thought it was the taste of cheese, but it's seed oil?

Seed oil. How did this just turn into Rogan? Seed oils, man. Because the aliens bring them in. Listen, if you guys just use mega brain and use code BJO, you're going to see for yourself, your short-term memory is going to come back. You're going to see your erection be firmer and stronger.

Oh, that's good. So now you do a lot of covers. if your short term memory's gonna come back. You're gonna see your erection be firmer and stronger. That's good. So now you do a lot of covers, you got your own album coming out, your own songs. Yeah man. And this is your manager over here? This is Mr. Tom Gible. He used to run Austin City Limits,

the TV show for many, many years. Oh no shit. And have you been with him for a while? Been with Tom for like two years now. Two years, yeah. How's he doing, is he all right? He's great, man. He's the shit.

Things actually started like, you know, moving in a direction once Tom got on board. So that was very crucial to this whole thing. Oh, that's good, man. Oh, great. Well, Jerry's out. He's gonna molest you. I feel like that was gonna be.

He's playing the long game. Yeah. He didn't like that. He didn't like that. Tom's right behind you. Tom's like, yeah. With a like that. Tom's right behind you with a piano wire. He'll strangle you. Big Jay dies. Mid episode. That would go viral.

For sure. So now man, you're doing what you've wanted. Now you've done this before, you said. You've been here before. Well man, like I said, so for 14 years I was doing like grocery store grand openings, fucking funerals, bar mitzvahs, weddings, corporate gigs, anything that can make money.

And I was making- You have Jews in Alabama? Yeah. Okay. There's a few. Not happy about it though. What uh. Muzzle tough everybody.

Hey. Hava nuggie love. Hava hava. Hava nuggie love. That's what I'm doing. Damn. Oh man. Havana Gila, Havana, Havana Gila. That's fucking good. Damn. Damn, man.

I never heard Teddy Pendergrass sing Havana Gila. What's happening? That's who that is? Lamar, how were the grocery store grand openings? That had to be pretty fun. Oh, it's fucking weird. Just the situations got to be crazy. It was weird.

It was raining pussy. Yeah. It's like, welcome to Bucky's! Dude, it made no fucking sense. It was like a thing, like, oh, here's 2,500 bucks to come show up at a Winn-Dixie at 6 AM, for whatever. And so you set up at the front of the checkout, and just old people were just piling in

first thing when the door was open. And we're sitting there playing, like a full band with a PA at the front of the checkout, and they're like, they're like what the fuck Some old lady came up was like it's way too late Like I have no control I'm just here for a check Yeah, that sucks so much because enough I don't want to this either. This next single comes from the frozen food section. The worst, when you're doing any kind of performing

where you're not supposed to be and then someone correctly calls out, why is this happening here? You go, I don't know, I need money, I knew it was a bad idea from the get go. I had to do a show at a college during finals and they were studying for the tests in the cafeteria part that I was in,

and a guy looked, he goes, guy, can you please stop? We gotta get this work done, and you're bugging all of us. So, you're like, I have to talk in the microphone for 45 minutes contractually. I have 13 minutes left. I just said my jokes.

Was it like a NACA gig? I did NACA. I was in front of a spinning pie wheel once in front of the cafeteria, and a lady was looking at me, I thought did Naka. I was in front of a spinning pie wheel once in front of a kepta. And a lady was looking at me, I thought she was listening. She was just trying to find out if she wanted apple or pumpkin. Yeah.

I knew I wasn't gonna get colleges. When I got off stage and someone goes, he's no Marty Putz. And I go, what does Marty Putz do? He shoots a gun that has marshmallows in it and tells jokes. And I was like, oh, I am no Marty Putz. Comes to find out, no Marty Putz at all.

Man, that's so talented. So what's the name of your album? What is the name of it? So the album is gonna be called America in the Modern World, which is kind of a mouthful, but I don't know, I like the title. Did you come up with it? I came up with the title.

There's a track on the record called America and it's like one of my favorites. I did most of it at my house, before we'd even started the title, there's a track on the record called America, and it's one of my favorites. I did most of it at my house before we'd even started the record, so I'm like super, I was gonna say jizzed on that. That's not the right word. You can say that, that's the right word. You're jizzed on it. I'm jazzed on it, yeah.

Are you a jizz? You can be jazzed enough to jizz. That was it. By the way, if you use that as a song title, jazz enough to jizz, just mention me in it. You get 20%. I tell you, Jay will get you there if you just let him. Jazzed Enough to Jizz.

Ooh, yeah. Is it about, and you wrote all the songs? All the songs on the record were either written by me or co-written. There's like two that were given to me by a wonderful songwriter named Madeleine Edwards in Nashville. And other than that, yeah, it's all.

Who's the person you met that you're like, oh my God, I can't believe I'm with them? Well, it's this right now, honestly, is one of those moments. I'm not trying to blow smoke up your ass. I just wanted to hear you say it. Yeah, I mean, I'm dead serious, man. No, stop. The answer was Ghostface Killer, not us.

I haven't met him. I haven't met him since I was a kid. Two aging fathers. No. No. No, but like, music-wise, who is the person that you met where you're like, I can't believe I'm in the same room with him. Dude, I honestly don't know.

I go through life coming with these blinders on and I try not to get over hyped about anything or anybody and fan out. Gary honestly was a huge thing for me because one of the first songs I ever performed live like was his bright lights like 14 years I was playing in my local bar. So these last three shows He's had me get up and play bright lights with him at the end like the encore the show It's been like what's the fuck man? It's like full circle to the highest degree It's a person to start with two. It's like a good dude He's very regular so kind man and so generous. Yeah, man, it's been great. Is it hard being away from the fam?

It sucks, yeah. And my daughter's more and more aware. She's three, but she knows what's going on. She's like, I miss you, dad. I got a message from the other day that said, you're the best dad ever. I'm like, oh man, it melts my heart. Yeah.

Yeah. She's fine. Shut up. What's wrong with you? What is wrong with you? Everybody had a daughter when I was young and touring around. I know she's fine. Shut up. What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you? Everybody had a daughter when I was young and touring around. I know she's fine.

And her mom is fucking killing it. Like, what the fuck is wrong with you? I mean, I was crying. You're like, she's good. By the way, that was also the title of a song. And then a parentheses says, she's fine. I miss her every goddamn day. It's the hardest day on the road. She's fine. I miss her every goddamn day. It's the hardest day on the road She's fine

I want to see backup vocals and come in sideways with the other money. She's fine That's so funny Jay Jay started whistling in the end of that song Yeah, I killed it man. I was like that you song. Y'all killed it, man. That was great. And I was like, whee. Yeah, you jumped in too. Fuck yeah, man. I was a little nervous though, because he was looking at me, waiting for me to fuck up.

Yeah. Christine didn't whistle long. She doesn't know the song. She doesn't appreciate, and this is her words, Negro music, which is crazy. Which is crazy. Which is crazy. She falls for that.

You're serious you don't like Negro music? I seriously can't whistle. Oh, OK. I'm just trying to tell you. OK. I'm just trying to tell you. Sure. Sure you can.

Wait, I have a quick question just because I was thinking about being from Alabama. Is it like widely known in Alabama that Leonard Skinner is not from there? Because we just found out, and it's kind of like a mind blow. She just found out. No, you just found out too. You're together.

What do you tell other people? I grew up listening to them so I knew they were from Jacksonville, Florida. So like, but yeah, I mean the Sweet Home Alabama, of course, everybody, you know, Roll Tide, Yeehaw. You just assumed. You would assume, yeah. You motherfuckers. You didn't know.

Do they really not like Neil Young? No, I think that's some bullshit to my knowledge and I'm not a part of the Leonard Skinner family or anything like that But to my knowledge they yet we're actually gonna be working on a collaboration together right before they died. So that's crazy Really was that one of the times we were young might have killed him. I'm about to make it like shit I had that with Louie I had that with Louie. Remember? That was your skinner. We were walking around. What do you want the show to be like? I don't know Lou. I'm gonna be right back, Bob. I gotta go take care of something.

Hey, if you don't mind, I gotta go empty the pipes if you know what I mean. Yeah dude, I got you. I understand. No! Your only pain is that he never whacked off on you. Never even asked. Yeah he did. No he didn't. No! No! No! No! No! No! Your only pain is that he never whacked off on you. Never even asked. Here he did. No he didn't.

Here he did. No he didn't. And I said, yeah. You wish he did. I did that, you're up to it. Who do you think I got that? He did my special dumb dumb. Hell yeah, dude.

How do you think he paid for that? Right over your shoulder, and there's just plankos through your chest hairs. Yeah, you didn't see the alternate ending to Kill Box. It was called Jizz Box. I didn't see that ending. Oh, fuck man. I didn't see the alternate ending to Kill Box. It was called Jizz Box. I didn't see that ending. I didn't stay to the after credits. This interview took a turn.

It always does. No one was expecting this. Oh wait, are we going to do another song? Because we obviously have to go. Now, do you want to do original? I'll hit a chorus of an original.
