Red Clay Strays | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #501

today's guests are two members of a band. that I really enjoy um they're out of. Mobile Alabama they have a new album. coming out in May and they've been. picking up some steam I'm grateful to. spend time today with Brandon Coleman. and Andy Bishop from the red clay. [Music]. stray I'll sit and tell you my story.

[Music]. shine on. me and I. [Music]. [Applause]. will yeah I guess Ben has a he has that. mustache some people can't grow certain. facial hair oh Brandon's a native man. yeah I can't really I can grow mustache. and a little bit of a goatee but that's. it everything else.

doesn't work really why what happened. you weren't scalped or something. somebody was how Native are you I'm like. Cherokee so doing the scalping yeah we. were doing the scalping then you think. you'd have a little extra. collection um you would think so like if. my grandmother would have passed them. down or something you know but yeah she. never did any of that wow and so was. your grandmother did she seem kind of. native like did she have a kind of a. Vibe like that uh a little bit it was. really my great great great grandmother.

I have a old black and white photo of. her somewhere that's she's just straight. up Cherokee Indian wow that's like. straight out of Red Dead Redemption too. you know yeah do you feel native. sometimes I don't think so like if you. get near. like like I wonder if you hear stuff. different than on like a regular. non-native person here I I'll I'll speak. on I think Brandon gets a little frisky. when like a uh like a like a rain. storm's coming and you know yeah him and.

his brother we take his brother's on the. road with us too are videographer so. yeah I met him one time and I met you. guys he can actually throat sing pretty. good too yeah he does it as a joke and. everybody's like you can't do that he's. like I'm native I can do that if I want. to what he'll start really he get into. it see you can do it too watch out. that's powerful man yeah one time I was. up in Minnesota like in minetonka. Minnesota and I went to they had a. what's it called like a big get together. that natives have power every time I've.

heard the word pow out just meant. backing trucks up to a campfire and. drinking whiskey all night yeah but that. sounds pretty native to me too yeah you. know cooking meat throw a little. gambling in there too yeah powwow is a. gathering with dances held by many. Native Americans and First Nations. communities I think so that's it Ben was. right yeah Ben was right um I didn't. sleep that great you guys have that ever. oh oh dude all the time I don't I don't. think we sleep good till we go home yeah.

I don't sleep well going out on the road. it takes a couple of days to get used to. sleeping on a bus and then getting home. it takes a couple of days to get used to. sleeping at in your own bed again yeah. so that equals about no sleep yeah yeah. it is kind of a it's a. real you're always trying to get. comfortable yeah that's what we carry a. lot of Z equill On The Bus yeah the. first couple nights have you you you. prevos it you've been in the tour buses. y those things are hard to sleep in for. the first couple nights for me what what.

part do you sleep in and and what part. do you choose to sleep in like is there. the cuz there's the different levels of. the bunks yeah so we're in a crew bus. still so we travel 12 deep we got the. crew Everybody in one bus so I'm the. back middle yeah yeah I'm the I'm the. top bun we're looking for that second. bus but yeah no we have one bus when we. go and it's everybody's in there they. have a crew bus for like production MH. so they're in a separate bus um Ben's. got some pictures there you go there's. definitely different values to the.

different slots I think yeah our tour. manager and uh keyboard player they all. prefer the the bottom bunk they say it's. the nicest yeah they said the worst part. about the bottom bunk is if you blow a. tire out it scares the the crap out of. you but me you're by everybody's feet. yeah that's a good point I guess there's. a lot more dirt down there there's a. little bit of foot traffic if you open. the curtain people throwing their shoes. off and then yeah you got to wake up. move shoes out of the way yeah that's. true yeah you have to really want to get. up so I will tell you our old bus well.

we call it it's a bus the one we. traveled in before it's like a redneck. prevos it was a 99 E450 H with six bunks. built in the back of it you could. probably Google it Ben yeah you could. the breeze is what we named it and this. was homemade so this is how you guys. first when you guys started hitting the. road yeah and it we uh we broke down a. lot picked ourselves up off the side of. the road multiple times yeah we we had. started looking for a uh a van in the. Vans were just so expensive at the time.

so yeah they're we're sitting on there. wow I don't know if we have a picture of. the inside probably not not on the. internet that's an old picture and this. looks like one of those things where. they go to pick up seniors kind of to. take them to Market and stuff is it that. sort of yeah like a shuttle bus did it. have that sort of door on it that's. waving goodbye yeah that was when we got. the new bus uh it had uh it had the it. had the door it had an electric open we. ended up just getting rid of it and then. our security system was just a ratchet. strap had a eyeball B on it and we just.

hooked to it it was rough at night time. yeah but we uh we're practically diesel. mechanics if you ever got a 73 and he. worked on cuz there so many breakdowns. you mean yeah we had one at. uh we had one well we had a guy that. refused to he would buzz cut his hair. every day refus to cut any of his ear. hair what about his nose hair my he it. was all coming out of his ears m.

whatever was supposed to be in his nose. had really had gone Upstream I guess you. know you see it oh yeah you could see it. I mean it was like his you know one of. those little troll dolls or something. yeah like one of those dolls you would. get at school you put on your on your on. your. pencil those you got to cut that at. night you got to do it for him oh I. think the moon cuts his hair it was I. mean it was like like it was involved in. something extraterrestrial and he had. but that thing broke down a couple times.

and one time he just threw a cup of. water on it I was like that's not H we. got to get another shampooing it I'm. talking about the engine the engine. broke down one time and he threw a cup. of water on it I thought you talking. about his ear hair's water on his ear. hair ear we've thrown our Shir well we. blew a hub we throw we had to throw. water on it yeah just mostly just to. listen to it sizz how hot it was yeah. it's hot it's. hot that's always the best mechanic dude. when you just crack that thing up you're. just like oh dud we had some there was. one you remember the uh oh we blew a.

heater hose and it had what's called a. quick connect on it was it a heater hose. talking about Joe no this was me and you. you remember I spit on it oh yeah we. couldn't get it to go over that little. it's like you just push it on it clips. and that's it and uh we just fought with. it for hours and I was like you we. missed our show we had to cancel our. show and everything cuz we could not get. this thing to slide up it just needed a. and I was like you know what Screwed I. went in there we're all sitting in the. bus kind of thinking about what to do I. went out there and spit on it and pushed. it on there and got it good and it work.

a little man that's it oh it's all you. need a lot of times um red clay stray. man uh thank you guys for coming in. thanks for having us for yeah I'm such a. big fan guys why uh I don't know there's. something. damn there's something just. damn his it feels like a little bit. Whimsical historical romantic about the. music you know thank you there's. something that feels like you just.

hop on the clock hands and just start. spinning backwards and it's like almost. feels like a little bit of like a Time. Warp I don't know this just. feels it feels good man it feels good to. listen to that's cool you know um I know. you guys started you guys are from the. south you guys are from Alabama right we. all still live there born and raised. mobile and how how do you guys was it a. couple of you at first you guys have. five guys now we have six now okay uh. but yeah it was the originally five yeah.

we just we just uh hired a keyboard. player oh wow like last month yep and. did you audition for that or how'd that. go we actually met him on uh when we. were touring with L King and he was. playing with L at the time and then we. realized last summer that he wasn't. playing with L anymore and you know. reached out to him immediately it was. one of those we showed up like we're. sevens he's like he's not with us. anymore we turned around made a phone. call like we got him now he's ours. you're like they let him go that's crazy.

yeah oh that's perfect then so is that. needed because you want to add a. different element to the music or what. do you why do you how do you come to. make that choice kind of I think it's. yeah we just wanted a we we've always. wanted a a keys player to you know lay. down piano and organ tracks and uh I. could play a little bit but not near as. good as we needed I guess so that's. always been a a thing we've wanted to. add in our music and it was supposed to. be we were going to get our drummer's.

little brother to play keys with us and. he passed away in 2020 so that was. sevans was is the right guy to fill that. role that was originally intended for. him I think yeah was there like a trial. night where he comes in and you're like. okay this is normally it would we would. hold an audition but we already knew how. great of a play was from seeing him play. with L and just sitting around in green. rooms when there'd be a piano in the. green room and he' we we you know we saw.

him play and and how good he was so I. think we've always been kind of looking. for that piano player and when we saw. him with El like Brandon said it's one. of those was like dang that guy's uh. he's good it just a d so when we saw. that opportunity we jumped on it as soon. as we could yeah and he fits in just. long with us yeah when we called we. weren't like do you want to audition for. us we were like hey do you want to play. with us yeah but here we are we're. auditioning we AUD dis in front of house. guys and guitar texts. but and how does the band start to form. up like when it's started out how does.

that how does a band even start because. I'm used to just hearing some guys like. get together write down a song or. whatever and then just kind of get in a. fight at somebody's house and then the. band is done we we do that we just. haven't quit yet plenty of fights have. happened now it's uh I had actually met. Drew uh right when I was still in high. school and then Drew introduced me to. Andrew uh and we had started a little. cover band drew the guitar player he was.

actually the manager at the time and uh. you know that band played for a while. and we had actually hired JN in that. band and he played for a couple months. before it dissolved and then we hired. Zach our guitar player and started. calling ourselves red clay Strays and. then Drew eventually we learned that he. could sing and he was learning how to. play guitar at the time so we started. getting Drew to come on stage with us. and uh. when he first started getting on stage.

with us his he kept his amp turned all. the way down he wouldn't even actually. play yeah he was just really shy I. didn't know there's a way I didn't know. there's a way to be shy on there with. your yeah he he was faking it till he. made it that's that's one thing that was. cool to see is uh cuz I lived with him. and just he would locked himself in his. room every day pretty much for like a. year and just taught herself how to play. guitar wow and so I used to tell him to. stop playing too I feel bad now he'd be. in there and the old band we'd be uh.

ending practice and he'd have like a. beer bottle just wrecking it across the. strings and I'd just have to tell him. like dude you got to you got to give me. a minute you stop Dam and now he's like. uh Drew is one of those um he gets the. uh most Improvement award every year for. us he just gets better and better and. it's. just he's good I wish I had his worth. ethic when it came to learning an. instrument so he was it was just so he. was on with you guys and then he got. better well he was the manager and our. first band and then when red clay stray.

started the five of us started that you. know together there he is handsome. handsome devil there he's like I got to. get in here yeah I think he uh he just. he's got it in this song he he him and. Brandon's little brother Matthew write. our songs pretty much 50/50 and Brandon. writes some too so I think it it's just. natural in him he just had to find that. way getting it out and I think we what. got us what got him on stage was we. noticed he was singing harmonies at. practice like hey get on stage and start.

singing with us and he he didn't want to. just be standing on stage empty-handed. so he would turn the guitar down and. just hold the guitar pretty much and. then somewhere along the line start. decided that he wanted to start actually. playing so he taught himself wow that's. amazing Zach he's just always been. incredible yeah Zack just come right in. just ripping and shredding and blowing. everybody away. he's now it's just surprising to see. that Drew and Zach there two completely. different styles and how they learned. off of one another over the years and so.

like in the past probably year things. have started to get busier right yeah. yeah we've been especially uh I think. things really started taking off for us. uh we were actually off the road last. year last fall in November and we just. see these numbers just like on a rocket. ship like what's what the hell's going. on yeah so it's just we're just riding. it out we hired my uh little brother who. is the songwriter so we had already we.

had we had already been playing all of. his songs you know and uh but he would. do his own thing and I think he was. driving for Uber at the time and uh like. last we took him on the L King run last. year and then officially hired him like. last April and he just went right to. work recording us and uh monitoring our. social medias and like building a social. media presence and then popping off on. Tik Tok think a couple times really yeah.

that with the elor just kind of jump. started it a little bit for us yeah he. does a great job cuz there's a lot of. really yeah there's a lot of fun Clips. on there you guys have some cool stuff. on YouTube some stuff that I hadn't. heard that wasn't released yet just like. on Spotify and stuff um that used to be. How We Tour yeah we toured off of. YouTube we' just tell people to call. venues and tell them check out YouTube. and Facebook yeah just you know. hopefully they book us and a lot of them. did so that's what we did and when do. you guys start touring pretty heavily. kind of like when did it oh shoot D we.

used to play I mean we two are we'd play. 200 cap rooms I remember getting excited. for 70 people showing up I mean we've. always. been uh we just wanted our big thing was. we want to be the hardest working band. in the in America so we would I mean. shoot for the last couple years we've. played majority of the year outout on. the road especially last year we did. over 150 shows driving ourselves so it's. like more of like 250 travel days or. more and then that was a the year before.

we're just running around breaking down. and just excited for 50 people to be in. front of us gosh it's crazy to look back. at that now and the we we always wanted. where the where we are now we kind of. always looked up to like man I want to. play these clubs you know these thousand. 2,000 C rooms every now I could get used. to that like opening for people and now. we're there and now we're like man those. Arenas look fun how about how about. getting used to doing that you know so. yeah or Festival do you guys do a lot of. festivals too well that'll probably. happen this summer huh a lot of. festivals yeah I I don't know if we.

really like festivals as much we like. doing our own show we're not pressed for. time festivals you got to be you got to. be on time with starting and ending and. that's just it's kind of we like to take. our time and relax set is really short. too it's like we get 45 minutes and it's. like I'm just now starting to get warmed. up at 45 minutes you know and then it's. over with yeah yeah and we're not. headlining festivals are playing at like. 3:00 in the afternoon you know oh yeah. the sunburn time whatever yeah we just. did it in Tortuga in Fort Lauderdale oh.

yeah at the heat stroke festival or. whatever heat stroke Festival yeah we uh. we just felt like we just ruined. everybody's beach party yeah oh that's a. worst we there playing sad songs dude I. remember one night we had to play oh I'm. thinking. of one time they put us at this Italian. kind of cocaine sort of Christmas kind. of party and it was um this was an LA is. probably about like maybe seven years. ago like are you you guys going to. perform at this Christmas party this. cocaine Christmas party yeah well.

everybody we get there early and. everybody's trying to get us to do. cocaine and we're doing it and then um. like we had to perform but we thought it. would be like a stage and like a good. setup so I think it had rained or. something and um they put like this. party in like a tent one of those white. tents with the fake plastic windows you. know like yeah and so we had to perform. in there right next to the tables like. you were some people's backs were like.

you were on the curve of the table and. their backs and they were eating you. were doing stand up in oh it was like. just in the way it was so hard. especially high on cocaine I'm sure too. oh it made me so like scared and nervous. and some lady kept kind of biting her. lip at me and uh oh that was one of the. worst moments that ever happened she was. probably doing the cocaine too that's. probably that jaw thing that goes on you. know everybody you're probably. misreading that one everybody was. rattling rattling everybody in there.

definitely had a catalytic converter. isue it was just but that was a that was. a tough gig man yeah we've had those. those tough gigs make you make you. humble though oh yeah I mean we just had. a go ahead BR I think I know what you're. going to talk about I was going to talk. about the purple Buffalo oh I was going. to talk about Dallas Cowboys was that a. corporate gig you did no I've done some. really bad ones that I corporate G. corporate shows are terrible yeah some. guy made his son come up and give us $10.

one night when we were on stage and it. was we're performing like an empty. backyard really yeah and you're doing. comedy yeah I've never seen someone tip. a comedian on on stage oh live this kid. ran across a child go give that nice man. 10 bucks I've had you know and I've had. those shows too where it's it's just. like you're in someone's backyard and. they're not paying attention but at. least there's music and it's super loud. and you can drown all that out I can. only imagine being in that setting. trying to tell jokes and like nobody's.

paying attention to you yeah I don't. know how you keep it together man i' I'd. have an anxiety attack just trying to it. just you're like yeah this is what I. deserve that's where it kind of ends. with you know this tough part about the. kid was he kept running across like. halfway and then got confused what to do. and he would go back and ask his dad so. he it was just like just give me the $10. like or I'll come get it but I can't it. was like I was this did you just take it. from him and he start crying I was just. like don't drop out of school kid thanks. oh that was a really tough one that's.

putting the grind in though man oh yeah. oh dude I used to drive at 110 mph to. get to the next gig putting everyone's. life in danger so that I could perform. at like an O Charlie somewhere or. something it was like. everybody it was very we used to have. our Mexican restaurant gigs back in way. back in the day doing 4-Hour cover shows. oh that sounds fun kind of it's not it's. fun for a minute for at least the first. first hour there was one right before Co. had happened and it was uh this place.

called the purple Buffalo and uh North. Charleston yeah we and we played like. right after this heavy metal like no it. was a it was like a it was a punk rock. show like a punk rock show three punk. rock bands before us and then you and. then us and we're playing covers at the. time too our country bumpkin butts just. get up there and just start playing. music the room just empties out and. we're literally playing to nobody and so. I just go out in the crowd and I just. sit where the crowd would be where the. crowd would be and I'm just sitting at.

the table singing to the band as they're. play and then the whole time the. bartender was like offering us drinks so. we and we're broke at the time too and. we're just thinking oh cool at least we. got a Bart tab at least we're going to. get the drink and after the show she. just brings us the bill oh yeah oh man. we didn't even get paid to play which. like didn't make any money yeah we're. like looking around the bus for change. pay our bar tab at this place just drank. ourselves there's a picture of an actual. Pur purple Buffalo I prefer that one oh. yeah that's nice oh that's what the.

place looks like with people in it. that's kind of cool oh I've met her. before she parties dude we've definitely. had those uh those uh those empty shows. where you just play for yourselves yeah. that's when you really got to enjoy what. you're doing we used to play for tips. like just our tip bucket determined how. far we were going to get the next day. we'd have no money and you know we'd get. tip money for gas and maybe even one. hotel room for all five of us to pile up. in nuh and it was just chance every day.

you know yeah damn stayed in a lot of. people's houses or even slept in the car. a couple times before we got the bus our. shuttle bus that is the breeze yeah. we've uh our I wouldn't say we're. successful we're not where we are from. overnight I guess yeah I think that's. what I was trying to get at a little bit. just like thinking about all this stuff. it's funny a lot of times I'll forget. about a lot of that oh yeah in a weird. way you can take it for granted pretty. easily yeah not in it's weird for me I. don't even know if I take it I just.

forget it's like you forget all the work. that you've put into something yeah you. know we've been doing me and you have. been doing this since 2015 MH so you. know seven years eight years I was in. college too nine years for me and you. I'm thinking just red clay red clay tray. been and the band before that what was. it called Coleman Mason band it was just. a local cover. band band we don't speak of really we. would we would run up run the crowd out.

yeah I love that hey look hey look then. then Rec brought back yeah we coming. we're coming as the bar closer man they. want to get them out we got them out oh. I love that it's like instead of playing. closing time it's like let's hire this B. yeah they'll get them out they'll get. them out and you want to shut this thing. down we got you which even with uh which. we mainly ran people away because we it. was so loud the guitar amps were so loud. but even with uh red clay Strays we. would be we were playing somewhere in uh. at uh in Arkansas where the guy he the.

sound man come up on stage and he told. us to turn down and I was like the only. thing running through this system that. you're wanting to turn down is my vocals. like the drums are still going to be. loud the guitars still going to be loud. and so I walk over there and I inch it. down just a little bit and you know. continue playing and he just like walks. on after a song just right in the middle. of the set we're not doing this tonight. and he just walks up and turns. everything down by itself and I was just. like man if I didn't need this $500 I.

would freaking leave right now yeah oh. it we a talking mad game was pack that. was at a restaurant too yeah uh that was. in JJ's and Little Rock Arkansas was. that Little Rock no that was uh fville. Arkansas yeah that's the tough part when. you're going to compete with people's. moment to dine yeah yeah that's a dinner. yeah those suck when you're going to say. hey set that fork down for a second mama. I got something for you we'll get give. you a pork chop can you can you can you.

turn the can you turn the music down can. you tell them to turn it down that's. that's that's what playing with people. eating is like and we used to do our own. sound too so we used to make it real. loud cuz we grew up listening to like. skinnard and we thought that's how he. supposed to be yeah it's loud we're. still pretty loud yeah we are probably. still pretty loud you know the number. one thing I think that's tough sometimes. if I go into like a small venue or like. a like a just like a bar and somebody's. playing is if they had if you can't hear. the vocals a lot of times oh yeah it's. the sucks cuz you're like I don't I.

might love this yeah that's why we we. try to hire a good good sound guy that's. dude the sound guy is what I mean that's. your that's your he's practically a. member of the band he's making you sound. good for everybody it's a good point and. we've been to a lot of big concerts like. this sounds like crap and this sucks. because we know how good that band is. doesn't matter how good the music is if. you can't understand or can't hear. something then it's it's pointless yeah. there's a lot of a lot of venues aren't. really built for comedy or music where. you have to end up in too which is kind. of wild mhm you know like recently I.

went to some places and the venue just. wasn't it's not the perfect venue but. it's the only one in that. area that you can play yeah we've been. to those where you walk in and the the. Reverb in in the rooms just ridiculous. you just know you're just gonna blow. these people's heads off just part of it. this episode is sponsored by prize picks. if you love firing on Sports then prize. picks is the best daily fantasy Sports. app for you you can fire on all your.

Alabama we not get at making up names. yeah that one I think is a little bit. that's it's like a gang green it feel. that feels.

category yeah but he's a dirt I just. described a lot of bad stuff I know I'm. just joking no he's like yeah he's more. of a dirt serpent he's like the a leader. of a you know of a of a club you yeah. you just had him not oh there's a who. brought up the Urban Dictionary dirt leg. a female looking for a quick who. only has enough time to take one pant. leg off where we come from not we Ain. got those getting the other pant leg. dirty all right. all right um yeah they just put that Tik.

Tok band into Yeah we actually on on the. way down here or on the way up here we. actually just saw that you guys seeing. that I've seen it on Instagram yeah we. saw it on the news let me see Congress. had passed the bill this week as part of. a wide ranging foreign agid package. meant to support Israel and Ukraine it. was approved by the house on Saturday. and by the Senate on Tuesday and it also. had Tik Tok hidden in is that what it's. saying yeah oh Welcome to our government. I know they always be doing that yeah. Ain reading that fine print people now. we lost Tik Tok it's going to suck if it. actually goes away though I know man.

there's got to be something behind it. even our band has grown so much from Tik. Tok you know I don't even be ticking the. T I don't even I'm not even on it it's. fun it's dangerous because you can get. into a Warp Zone where you look up and. suddenly your family's not hasn't eaten. yeah you know I could see that easily. somebody scrolling on Tik Tok and then. they're just they look up and their. children haven't eaten you know that's. what the any scroll or the death scroll. with death scroll Instagram or Tik Tok. see I get all my reals from Instagram. and my fiance say gets mad cuz I'm like. 6 months behind oh yeah y'all are behind.

over there on the YouTube I do the. YouTube shorts too that's my my death. scroll oh yeah so I'm getting like eight. months nine months behind yeah I mean. you're in hospice the reason I like Tik. Tok is all you can ask him like all of. my Instagram stuff is just messed up. people we get dark our Instagram real. you people getting motorcycle recks and. just a lot of crazy stuff that I'm like. how's this on we done screwed our. algorithms up but then Tik Tok it's like. well here's how you make a garden in. your backyard or here's how you for now. until you get on the Dark Side of Tik. Tok I haven't been on the dark side damn.

I don't do they have I don't want to get. over there don't start searching things. what are some things look under my some. of my links I have a couple of favorites. that I've had on there recently oh here. we go right here now this was something. I. saw that's a cat. dog is that a cat it's OD way to explain. what a cat is that thing ate a ruler. homie that thing. that's a different ethnicity of a cat. cat got your measuring stick huh that.

thing. damn a wiener dog at first it is man. that's a damn wiener cat weener cat. wiener cat dude you don't want to see. our our recent searches really it's. getting pretty bad well those are just. some of that's one of my faves I'll go. through a couple more with the cat. videos well yeah we might as well enjoy. Tik Tok while we got it because it ain't. we ain't going to have it much longer. and that's Asian guy walking with turtle. and that's always a beautiful that's. really um have a very wholesome. algorithm it's like the notebook in.

Japan dude that video right there it's. their notebook what else do we have. she oh look at that oh this guy's a. little nativity scene on the go this is. like door Dash nativity scene play it. one more time is that all it is yeah. it's like 40 bucks the dude pulls up. oh not like an actual little baby he. could start using too for. Christmas if his wife maybe if he's. probably we got to ask is why reminds me. of those those booths at the fair you.

pay like 20 bucks to go see the snake. lady oh yeah walk in it's just like a we. just had a carnival worker on and his. grandfather was the great lentini and he. had three legs and two um penises okay. and um thought that was a no that's what. people thought at first like damn one of. these things needs a shoe on it oh this. is real yeah that's a real guy Frank. lentini right there wow he's got his own. wik opedia but wait he said his dad the.

the carnival worker that we had in named. Mitch he had a uh granddaddy okay cuz. that guy was born in. 1889 yeah this guy where is he from. um damn Narnia probably that's kind of. that's the stuff you see in like the. Marvel movies though man dude I bet that. dude could run a foot race play soccer I. bet he could climb up walls and stuff oh. I bet that that's a modern day. Spider-Man that's I was going to say I. bet he lives in a in a. that would be yeah I like how they have.

one nude picture of this man I wonder. have to you know what his attitude was. you think he had like a temper when get. in bar fights and just start kicking. people kicking people that's a great. call huh it would be crazy if he's. you're standing there talking to him and. then one of his foot just puts a. cigarette into his mouth you know this. is what the UFC is missing right here it. really is May you think the weirdos like. the people from Nick who have like feet. things they seen this guy it's like oh. on foot finder this guy would have. been yeah. spokesman oh he would have been the.

Naomi Campbell three legs four feet 16. toes come see him boy I'd that math. ain't adding that math ain't mathing is. it yeah it was different time different. math now didn't they ban all 15 he had. one extra didn't they ban like you can't. show yourself off in carnivals and stuff. like freak shows did they ban them let's. look that up they did it was considered. inhumane well what if you like sign. yourself up it didn't matter they banned. It Anyway freak shows remain popular. till the 1940s when public opinion began. a shift throughout the 20th century. several federal laws made discrimination.

against people with physical. disabilities illegal and the exhibition. of extraordinary bodies was outlawed in. some states wow now that seems a little. what I read was the Freaks and the freak. shows got mad because they were like. this is how we make a living yeah people. pay to look at me but I don't know how. true that was well it's like the the. Redskins now having to probably change. their name back cuz the natives got mad. at them for changing it oh they did now. they got what read yeah to change it. back now yeah supposedly wow my friend.

Cliff kingsberry is coaching up there. it's his first year up there offensive. coordinator I graduated college with the. uh safety Jeremy Reeves oh wow I did. Sports Medicine in college so I did some. of his Rehabilitation damn and is he. healthy now yeah oh well he just came. off an injury but he's good damn good. enough to be be playing with the. commanders which who knows if that's. it's that good we'll see we'll see. remains to be seen he's getting paid. yeah which states outlawed um which. states outlawed those shows that's kind.

of interesting I wonder if it was. like like who would do it I wonder what. states would do it southern states or. well I wonder if they looked at as like. you're just it's hard to imagine the. political demographic back then in the. 40s I wonder if it's like you're. bringing like you can't really call them. special it's like handicapped people and. making a show of them but what if they. sign up and they want to make the show. themselves well they have the same thing. type of now where it's you know they. have like. um a lot of people with which what some.

people call disabilities have like uh. shows on Tik Tok or social media. channels TLC yeah TLC their whole. network is based off of people with. four um necks or whatever you know or. double you know do you ever watch My My. Strange Addiction that was one I watched. when I was younger it' be like lady. drinking gasoline oh yeah one lady like. to eat toilet paper oh she ate the foam. out the mattress she was a big one too.

went straight to her hips it sure did. damn really mhm dang boy Squidward with. them crabby patties you got watch out. pimper Pedic baby I like them thickies. baby uh I think she ate the Springs too. you have to look You' have to look that. one up later well we had a we spoke with. a man the other day who ate glass um was. it on the street or was it on the. podcast I can't. remember but yeah he's had a lot of. it you know I H I don't like anything. like that I would wouldn't think so yeah.

with the demise of the carnival and. important slice of American History risk. being lost but the residents of GIB. Gibsonton Florida are trying to keep the. legacy of the town's famous freaks alive. I think a town of freaks yeah it is. Florida gibbtown was a Utopia its first. settlers the Giant and his wife the half. woman ran a campsite a Bake Shop in the. fire department wow that's a whole town. of like the freak Show in the golden. days of American Carnival all roads led.

to Gibsonton Florida the self-defined. 14,900 inhabitant Town 12 miles south of. Tampa became the industry Capital Carney. town they must have been next to like. one of those uh it makes me power plants. it makes me wonder though like if if. it's if it became illegal to like stare. at freaks in a freak. Show but it's okay. to go watch mentally handicapped people. in the Olympics and stuff why is one. accept on Bull and one's not it's a good.

question yeah just because one's doing. sports and the other's just sitting on a. couch shoot juggling I I've seen some. Stu probably see them juggling yeah you. would think I like that's a sport dude I. think it's like it doesn't even people. with handicaps are more like have you. watched the show with um dating under. the influence of down syndrome or. whatever what is it called down for love. right close dating on I've never watched.

it but I've heard of it it's amazing. right and it's just like it's people. that have disabilities some of them are. down Cent and they go on first dates. right and they start to learn. relationships and they are just as. awkward as anybody that doesn't have. this uh the disabilities you know in. fact sometimes they are better at dating. than people that have disabilities. because they're a little bit more Frank. about what's going on little more open. little more bold about it yeah yeah it's. fascinating that show is fascinating um.

I was just watching baby reindeer have. you seen that mm we don't got we don't. watch cable I don't really have a lot of. time to watch TV but damn I'm living in. damn luxury then we ain't got cable I. try to watch stuff on the bus but that's. I usually just end up falling asleep. yeah that's impossible yeah baby what's. B baby reindeer baby reindeer it's a. this guy Richard Gad is his name and he. writes this it's amazing it's a. it's like Eight Episodes or six episodes. It's about he he had a.

stalker and uh and it goes from there. that's uh setup is is there reindeer. involved um it just he I said he looks. like a reindeer it looks like a reindeer. um interesting that sounds cool you guys. have one full album out right M yeah and. now you're putting together another. album it's put together oh it's done. it's done okay it's ready to come out. coming out coming out here in the very.

near future wow hopefully by the end of. summertime how does that feel what's. that cuz that's. really I can't I can't wait for people. to hear it because it's uh just a lot. better of an album than the first album. as far as production goes because we we. recorded it with Dave Cobb oh yeah Chris. Stapleton yeah he done um so many all. our heroes yeah it it's been a it was. always a goal of ours to work with Dave. since we very first started yeah there.

he is and now how does that come to pass. that you guys get to match up with him. does he reach out to you do you start to. interview a series of producers no we. actually at the time we were uh we were. looking up Studios so we wanted to go to. a studio that uh where the Alabama. Shakes recorded their first album I. think it was called the bomb shelter. here in Nashville in Nashville and. that's that was the the plan until uh. Brandon en who works with Conway. entertainment which is where our manager.

Works made the connection he reached out. to Dave for us and he was like Hey I we. represent this band if you if you're. interested in working with them and Dave. knew who we were and so he was he was. like yeah I'd love to work with them and. then he set up a a zoom call with us and. reached out and we talked to him that. day we were actually on the way to a. show we had to pull over on the side of. the road and talk with them and uh why. so the van would makes us noise he can. talk so loud in there we were like we. stopped for some barbecue too so I'm. like eating a barbecue sandwich talking. to T but there was no service they were.

like walking around trying to keep. service during this cuz it's like we're. talking to one of our heroes and yeah. the middle of Alabama in the middle of. nowhere but you're like these guys can't. they can't even produce a call they're. not going to make anything was probably. somewhere in Alabama too oh wow that had. to be a pretty magical moment huh yeah. that was and we didn't know how to feel. about it it was crazy we're just we. don't really like that the the record. the first record that's out like I. cannot stand to go back and listen to it. really at all it was such a a cluster. making that thing and I like it I like.

it for what it is it was yeah for what. it is we' just gotten out of another. record deal that wasn't working for us. and the only way to continue forward was. to get out of it so we finally made it. out of that thing and then just on our. own not knowing what to do and you know. we go to this gu studio and uh. Huntsville sink every dollar we had. going the debt making it and that's. eventually we were still happy with it. trying to make it but eventually we just. had to you know call it quits and say.

it's done and then was that cuz of money. like just said call just I mean yeah we. done put all this work in this window of. time we opened up for it and we so this. next one though I listen we listen to it. every day I think and it's. incredible yeah I haven't gotten tired. of it yet yeah we're ready to put that. one out it's going to should be pretty. good dang I can't where people hate it. we don't know I can't even imagine cuz. it yeah when you was mus comeing on man. it just feels good um can we listen will.

you take me through who comes in on. wonder and why like in the beginning. just in the beginning so I know who the. different um because you guys have. different band members I want to make. sure that I get the gist can you play it. for us by chance you want to do it in. headphones or just play it through the. you can play it through the speakers we. can walk through the Telly yeah what. song you want to listen to um wondering. why yeah yeah this is it right here can. you just take I just want to know who. comes in when right cuz it starts off. just with you singing mhm yeah you. probably won't hear it but I'm in the. the right at the second verse first. verse but I just play bass it's not that.

big of a deal you know but you come. in boom yeah that's it well I go to the. court you'll hear it this is Matthew. record that's me doing. [Music]. theate. church so that's you on the guitar MH I. [Music]. from p and here comes my big moment. right here and I don't.

[Music]. know one earlier cut used to have finger. snapped right. here but who was hitting that symbol. right there okay that's. John and that's Drew there's. [Music]. Drew and then it's everybody. that's then that's Zach in there laying. in the those backup. Parts just riding like threaten that.

play a. slot is that called threaten what's it. like he does this right here you Cordon. or. making was that got it yeah I was just. listening the other I was wondering I. was like who's coming in when just so I. know who's doing what um yeah what's the. collaborate collaborating like for an. album like do you guys seem to like does. it get tough how how is it like battling. Egos and stuff I guess at this point if. you spent that much time in.

a like in that close of quarters you. guys have got it figured out oh we're. brothers man we yeah we used to we would. work up songs and um in the earlier days. you know we we. would get aggravated if we didn't want. to take the song in our direction or my. direction or Zach's direction or. whatever but at somewhere along the line. I think we just uh got to a point where. we realize at the end of the day we all. want the same thing is to make good.

music and so we try everything you know. and there's always a a way to make. everybody happy as far as making music. like that and we'll try everything even. if we have to play the song for eight or. nine hours while we're working it up. just play it over and over again all. these different ways until we find the. right way and there's not really any. egos involved with that you know Dy I. don't think a lot of bands are like that. at least I wouldn't think so so we feel.

very fortunate yeah I know when I met. you guys when I met you guys we were in. uh Virginia oh Charlottesville maybe you. were playing um that's where you brought. us out to your show out there yeah you. were where the heck were we I don't know. I can't remember shoot I feel like I. think Charlottesville it was. Charlottesville but we came at the end. and saw a couple you got to see a couple. of the songs you were that that goofy. Jeff Gordon Jack in yeah I don't I. didn't believe you were going to show up. going to come out and I was like Theo is. going to be way too busy to be worried.

about us dude I had so much fun look. there we are but y'all's banned. everybody there was just there was an. energy in there you guys we all sat in. there and just chatted for a little. while but a lot of groups it's not like. that you'll meet a group of a band. sometimes and it's not the same energy. you know um dude we live we make each. other laugh day in and day out you put. five of us the five of us with each. other we're going to just we can't help. but just crack up laughing um yeah. because our our our theme song on the.

podcast was made by a group called. Bishop gun did you guys hear them yeah. they're from south or they're not. together anymore but they were from. south Mississippi yeah and they really. had a great start you know like they got. to open up for the St us watching you oh. gang dude that's awesome they had us. over their side. stage oh wow we were there for like five. minutes and we were like we were like. watching the clock like we had to leave. right at a certain time to get back to. start our own show we didn't want to. leave man that's no it got. bad did it we left at a good time no we.

we it's funny cuz we don't really listen. to much music as a as a group like when. we come on the bus after show it's it's. comedy oh yeah yeah it's it's kill. Tony's or somebody's standup special he. kill Ton's so great man we actually saw. a couple I guess it was a couple weeks. ago um we went and saw Shane Shane. Gillis invited us out he put us up in. the suite and everything and then we got. to meet freaking Tony and and Jeff Ross. Tony was just standing outside smoking a.

cigarette and we walked up on him that. dude's as goofy as you think he. is like oh hey guys hey how does big old. Bel Texas Bel you from. here is one of a kind bro his show they. have like a 100,000 people watching it. at once when it comes on that's. unprecedented in the world I feel like I. can't remember how we even discovered it. but it's it's a it's a it's we watch it. all the time on the bus it's just about.

every night after a show Tony coming on. incredible what it does for I think. we're going to a Kill Tony uh in a. couple probably next I think next month. head down Austin yeah we're gonna yeah. we got I think Tony invited us out to do. a kill Tony with him really I'll be. there yeah then we're going to hang out. with you'll be a party then I think it's. at Rogan's place I'm not mistaken I. don't know where to shoot it yeah I'm. going to go down there for a couple. weeks and work on some material you. going to be on the panel that night you. think I don't know they asked if we. wanted to go on stage and I was like no. no I want to go watch I don't want to.

get on stage yeah you ain't going to. hurt my feelings. today yeah those poor guys I've been. doing comedy for 13 years and they just. get roasted to hell it's like dang yeah. the the balls that that takes cuz it's. so hard to make people laugh in a minute. it would almost be like hey guys in one. minute make me believe that you are a. good band yeah you can't do that it'd be. really hard yeah yeah you know I mean. you could do a couple riffs or whatever. but I feel like it' be really tough um.

that in comedy is just something I don't. understand how to make yeah I like. sitting there watching it and wondering. where a joke's going to go and then the. punch sign comes in and just makes you. roll while you're laughing it's U I. can't do that you know it's so I. wouldn't want to go on the on Kil Tony. just for that reason I'd be up there. just play in a band yeah and I told. Brandon if he ever goes on you just got. to go up there and sing for a minute. that's all you what you got to do bro. I'm not even going to tell just lean. hard it yeah lean into what you do best.

brother if they invite you to bring. potatoes bring potatoes D it's just that. being a comedian seems man it's like we. we have music to hide behind and we have. the five of us up or six of us up there. to hide behind and we have each other. when you like watching especially. watching you and and Shane it's like. you're up there by yourself man you're. out in the fascinating you're floating. around hoping people people laugh or you. know get what they paid for you know we. couldn't do it with I think the hardest. thing I think to do is that improv where. people are working with other people you.

know that's the thing to me that seems. like it's really the toughest I uh. that's where I like I've tried to take. improv classes and stuff and I was not. good at it in in Los Angeles you weren't. good at improv it was so hard man it was. like because it's just you're so used as. a comedian you're so used to. just yeah I was just so used to like. controlling things myself yeah you know. that I would just I don't know it was. hard to. do it with somebody else I guess to. trust that somebody else it was going to.

work well you know um it's kind of that. chemistry too though yeah there's a. surreal moment for even us it's like you. it's hard to believe that people are. coming to see you do what you do and it. doesn't feel right one time I was stuck. in traffic we were coming back from the. YMCA from working out for a show and I. was like man what the dude this. town and it was traffic from. my and the driver goes dude these people. are going to see you oh no I was like oh.

you're complaining about the. traffic these people are awesome that's. one of our goals when you've made it. when you can shut down the damn free. freeway outside of the Arena that's when. you made it that's how we felt pulling. up to your show with all that traffic. dude it was like are we even going to. have time to get in we're like sitting. in traffic we get out and just start. walking the Uber is just like we just. get out here we just started walking. down the side literally the red clay. Strays dude you guys are just wandering. around yeah well I think we're in a cool. spot right now to where it's like we. definitely get noticed a lot now but.

it's it's still hit or miss in some. places so oh especially if I wear a hat. it's like an impostor syndrome for us. too like just it doesn't make sense to. us why people like what we don't feel I. mean we feel what we do is half-ass. mediocre you know just like you could go. spend your time and money on a lot. better things well people but the even. talking to me about the number of shows. you guys did last year I mean that you. know I the only person I've heard talk. that's done that many shows was Lany. Wilson last year did a lot of shows I.

mean she was you know I start at the end. of the year and I was like man she is. gone she's it just hasn't ended you know. you have to I think that's where you you. know I think that's where the the boys. and the men are separated it's it's not. about being the best it's not about it's. about literally just going and doing it. if you can stick through it yeah oh yeah. resiliency for sure and then I think. like even with Bishop gun they had like. addic they had like some addiction. issues in the bank like that kind of.

stuff tore them you know oh yeah I mean. we've seen that not with ourselves but. it's so easy being on the road how you. can I mean you probably see it with. comedy how you can easily turn to those. things and oh yeah it's a dark hole you. don't want to go down we it's the 70s no. more yeah it's not the 70s anymore and. the whole sex drugs and rock and roll. thing is kind of a you know. uh what's the word I'm looking for like. um like a thing of the past it's like a. everybody look from the outside looking. in they think that's what it's like and.

it's not really like that anymore yeah. and we've always made it clear like you. know everybody has their struggles and. whatever you're going to do but don't. let it get in the way of this you know. what I mean if you're struggling with. alcohol not to say that any of us do but. just in the sense of if you are. struggling with something stay sober for. an hour and a half a night to play the. show and then these people pay money and. they take their time out of their day or. they're scheduled to come see you and. you're going to get on stage too messed.

up to perform that's that's not cool. with me or not cool with any of us. so been a strict rule with us I think. like we were talking earlier us five are. so close to each other we're like. brothers when somebody slips the pack. corrects and you know we've all got oh. yeah we've all gotten our ass chewed. after a show or two you know yeah that's. pretty fortunate then that you guys are. able to have that symbiosis or whatever. within your group you know oh we we want. the best for each other and we all love. each other very much we recognize that. we're doing something bigger than. ourselves if you're worrying about.

yourself and what you're what you want. to do or how you've been done wrong then. you're going to find all kinds of. excuses to get mad or to quit or to. argue or fight with somebody but if you. keep it selfless instead of selfish. that's where you can find fulfillment. and the strength to keep going I guess. yeah and I think a part of that was our. come up meeting some of our heroes and. realizing these guys are not cool and. that's how we don't want to ever treat.

other people or treat our own crew let. alone each other so yeah just seeing. that kind of stuff on different. festivals or different things like that. yeah yeah you run into I mean we've met. some people that you think would be. douchebags and they're cool as hell yeah. and that's always cool you know it's. like meeting you you could have been an. to us you know yeah you kind of. were but yeah that's okay we're here you. know I had to be I guess what did I do. something bad no just that's oh I was. like you wore that Jeff Gordon jacket. that was that was problem one that'll.

turn some people off man I made you take. it off I got pee really fast guys you. got to pee anybody else I got to pee I. got to pee you remember the first song. you ever. heard uh I remember the first. song sorry I'm a little out of breath. going up. upstairs uh the first song I remember. singing was uh a song by Tracy bird. called We're from the country and we. like it that way yeah here everybody. knows. everybody everybody calls your friend.

yeah was a good song huh don't need an. invitation kick off your shoes and come. on in yeah know how to work and we know. how to play We're from the country and. we like it that way how old were you. when you sing them I had probably four. or five years old and were you singing. to the family were you performing for. someone or were you just sitting. somewhere just singing that I've always. my mama told me uh even before I could.

talk I'd walk around just going n. already on the vocal warmups okay so but. I've always yeah just always been a song. bird I guess I remember having the the. little radio off of a Toy Story with the. microphone oh I was just dragging the. radio around and it took a cassette tape. and so I'd have the Tracy bear cassette. tape in there and just everybody yeah oh. dude gosh I just brought back some. memories yeah yeah the one I had that. looks like sketch who was just on.

here oh my God is maybe that's what he. Bas base it off of what's up brother. unbelievable yeah what's up you got to. send them one oh yeah we've got a send. him one will you write that down Ben. okay um yeah what was that sound you. made again NE n NE n it reminds me of. squid games kind of. I I did not like that show you didn't no. it freaked me out a little bit man.

freaky a lot of yeah I don't look I've. yeah I got some Japanese friends and. they they're prone to violence at times. you know really I can see that oh they. likeed yeah they they're really cuz they. keep a lot of their feelings in and so. the only they well that's like the Way. of the Ninja though right yeah yeah I. guess so they just busted a dude with a. samurai sword out there grilling meat. where was that at sounds like Florida. um samurai sword and Grilling meat yeah.

this man man grilling and shopping cart. used sword of skew arrested near Santa. Monica well he didn't try to stab nobody. that's what I'm saying this guy is video. from the citizen app captured the wild. scene before 3 P.M on Sunday the man is. seen dragging a shopping cart through a. bike lane um that looks like California. the the com the main compartment of the. card is filled with flaming wood while. the man uses a sword as a skewer to hold. meat over the flames here's the thing. you can't H if you have so many people. who are without homes right they're.

going to start to open up um barbac coas. or whatever this is called you know. they're going to start to open up hair. cutting I get my haircut when I'm in La. by a guy who is a street man a street. man but he makes a living cutting hair. he makes a living cutting hair this dude. dreamer he's Native American actually. that's a that right there that's a food. truck a food cart but same concept it's. the same concept and yeah sure maybe. it's FDA approved maybe it's not um it.

people it's still Society they're still. going to start a civiliz you know what. I'm saying like everybody's going to. start a civilization and so and if they. don't have money to pay permits for food. trucks or or whatever else they're just. going to that machete is that man's. permit yeah they're going to resort to. whatever they can they're going to. figure out and I think we got to put. more swords on the streets I bet that's. some of the best barbecue you probably. ever had too. oh Samurai sword yeah samur oh yeah. Willie Samurai barbecue or whatever what. do you think that meat is he probably.

did not buy that at the grocery store. damn dude I think that's Dam prob he got. some of them C raccoons I don't know. what they got out there oh I think. that's probably brazed human bro oh. who. knows you know you don't know when. you're getting it out of a shopping cart. no dude it's look obvious and here's the. thing the shopping cart will make you. think that it is grocery store quality. yep so really the guy's got a great. concept really it's a grocery store. manager quality where does uh yeah where. do some of you guys' influence come with. music what do you what what are you guys.

listening to right now what am I. listening to right now I've been. listening to Lake Street Dive a lot. lately we just saw them at Moon Crush. really they're incredible Lake Street. Dive you never heard of them uhuh oh. they're incredible put me on put me on. always been a huge fan of them and then. seeing them live just kind of reignited. that so I've just been on a late Street. Dive kick for the last few. days our listen her her vocals are just. insane I love that that organ player man. when he sings I mean they're like it's.

like the 70s modern day 70s music right. there it is incredible especially live. yeah really really good Lake Street Dive. I got obsessed with like trying to do. vbr because. I can't do it couldn't do it at all but. now I can kind of do it but she was one. of the ones that I would listen to. trying to figure that out how to do that. with your. voice still can't do it that well but. yeah try my best so so a singer will. learn different tricks from other.

singers kind of or not tricks or just. manipulations or ways to perform kind of. I just learn by listening uh if I listen. to Lake Street Dive or listen to whan or. whatever I'm listening to long enough. I'll start to kind of mimic that on. stage a little bit so how I seeing at. whatever show I'm at depends on what. I've been listening to for the past few. days I. guess yeah I think there's something. about that about being an ENT uh.

Entertainer you part of you wants if. especially if you're staying open to. things you're going to be kind of a. sponge in a way you know you may uh yeah. if you've. been if you've been absorbing one thing. then the next time you perform there. could there could be some some of that. in just in your energy you know you want. to be kind of a conduit for good energy. you know and and a lot of creativity and. music arst good energy usually do you. see that in comedy at all y if you watch. too many or too much of one guy you kind.

of oh yeah start taking that personality. on oh I'll watch him Chris Rock and I'll. go out there and be. like guy Chris so yeah that'll happen um. oh every comedian when they started out. like at my time everybody sounded just. like Mitch Hedberg like all the like uh. people that were booking clubs all the. Bookers were like yeah everybody just. everybody right now sounds like Mitch. Hedberg it's just because he's so. popular right now so I think there's a.

lot of that that happens who's some the. guy who yells right he would be like no. that was um who am I thinking of oh. you're thinking of uh he died a long. time ago yep you're thinking of. [Music]. Sam I like this game though it's fun Sam. ruin Kenn yeah Kennison that's it Sam. Kennison that guy was hilarious too well. he had a crazy story with this guy Carl. leau. can you bring this. up so Carl.

leov rip to him till he passed away. really funny sweet guy um I never knew. Sam or met. him but they had a one of them had a. daughter can you bring it up let me. see the late comedian Sam Kennison left. his friend and fellow comedian quite a. belated surprise Carl leov says that Sam. was the real father of the daughter he. thought was his oh no who we heard about. it on the joy Bahar show where leov said.

he found out that Sam was the father. after Sam died so yeah Carl had raised. her her whole life and then found out. that uh Sam was the father I was de this. with his wife yeah so I think there was. a rumor that the child was conceived. while he was on stage one time wow that. is some disrespect yeah I mean there's. craft services and then there's craft. Services um I was devastated Carl said. we're talking about at the same time of. 14-year friendship we started out. together as so we had survived living on. the streets you know what it's like to.

start on Comedy I mean we stole fruit. from the bars at night just eat and. slept in my car and we survived for a. very long time and then with the Rodney. Dangerfield field special it changed our. lives and of course Sam became huge and. I was a headwriter and his best friend. we never lived more than a mile apart. wow then he slep with yep and he was. sleeping with his wife that's crazy yeah. what does it say happen you can say best. friend and do that I know that's what's. Wild. so I called my ex to explain to her that. I was having a tough time and that's.

when she told me that Sam had fathered. my child wow huh. yeah that's crazy carb had not been able. to legally establish that Sam Kennison. was the child's father in court because. all the blood tests proed that she was. related to the Kennison family now with. the DNA test he has definitive proof. that Sam was the father wow that had to. be so wild I wonder yeah I wonder what. his thoughts were it's like cuz his best. friend. died and so that's normally something.

you would be mad about you know him. sleeping with your wife but at the same. time it's like he left you a little part. of himself to raise I don't know look. it's almost a story out of the Bible. almost it seems like you know in a way. um yeah in a way of like you know like. maybe not out of the Bible but it's like. one of those asap's fables or something. something where you like learn a like a. lesson learning story because that'd be. crazy you would hate him you'd be angry. at the wife but then you'd also have. something that you cared about for so. long so did he didn't learn that until.

the death until like way after the death. yeah I think till the yeah I think the. daughter wow you have to look at that. child a little different too that's not. your blood anymore I know I wonder if. that starts to happen inside of you but. you also had that connection like an. adopted child it's right and that. probably wouldn't disappear I think I've. seen mixed emotions from different. videos like some men are like it doesn't. matter that's my kid I don't care and. then some men are like well that's not. my kid anymore I don't know how I'd feel. in that situation yeah yeah one guy I.

saw was playing Hit the Road Jack on his. phone after he found out so he was like. pretty excited yeah defitely depends on. the man I guess was out of. here um yeah what else have I been. listening to yeah that in comedy what. stepen Wilson Jr I listened. to um 89 Vol I listen we got him for at. a show 89 vol yeah bro they're viy man. oh yeah we we up y yep I'm on the come.

up we got a band called the Moss opening. for us on the west coast they're out of. uh I think they're out of Salt Lake. they're cool the M it's a little more. indie rock yeah not so much I don't know. if you're into that you're West Coast. aren't you yeah I would listen to some I. would listen to anything a lot of times. I need people to tell me what to listen. to a good one that they're no longer a. bandn anymore yeah the Moss yeah um J. rod wson in the business oh yeah that's. groy stuff too that's like some good. rock and roll music yeah yeah all all.

all the albums they put out they put out. two or three oh I couldn't tell you that. was that was you introduced um them to. me J Rod Walston in the business baby I. like that yeah there that's some cool. stuff I don't know if you ever listen to. Alabama Shakes yeah I hate that they're. not a band anymore that's one that we. looked up to what happened to them well. I think there's some we read some dark. stuff about one of the members in the. band and I think that probably led to. the downfall I don't don't know how true. that was though yeah we don't know if. true but I think they are a band like we.

are that started together equal you know. like a lot of bands nowadays are built. around a star or a singer I don't think. they were one that started together and. end up breaking up together more of a. constellation MH yeah wow um yeah what. happened in 2018 the band went on Hiatus. due to Howard's focus on her solo. project Jamie yeah she's done a bunch of. stuff after that which led to a solo. tour in 2019 Howard released her second. solo album. 2024 um in June 2020 guitarist Heath fog. released his debut solo project under.

the name Sun I'm not familiar with any. of that but Alabama Shakes was. incredible and was that all all the. members of Alabama Shakes what's that. those people right there some of them. that's part of the band so some of them. they they obviously just some of them. went their own separate ways something. must have happened and they went their. own SE or she wanted to do her solo. stuff which is that sounds like it man. that's a scary part you know well that's. what's interesting about the ego the ego. you don't know how it's going to grow it. grows like a mall man I I I could see. myself doing solo stuff one day but I'm.

not going to quit red clay Strays you. know what I mean it's yeah hers was more. of a quit never came back to it like. that band need to breathe you know what. I'm talking about they that's another. one to listen to Ben knows um their. their lead singer does a project called. Wilder woods and he go he goes and does. wilder Woods stuff and he still does. need to brief. stuff this is just if I ever get extra. time on my hands and just want to start. other projects I could see myself doing. it but definitely wouldn't need to. breathe yeah they're great they're.

they're Brandon actually showed me them. too that's I would say have a pretty. similar we have a similar sound to them. I would say I grew up I I grew up. listening to them that's definitely. somebody that I started trying to mimic. like learning how to sing he got a very. powerful loud voice and that's how I. started singing Everything was very. powerful and very loud and then getting. into I guess diving deeper into it. starting to learn technique and how to.

use your voice and stuff and then I. wanted to learn how to sing like opera. singers with vbr and stuff so it just. depends on who I'm listening to and. would you sing so after you was rattling. around the house um mimicking and. learning some you know and and running. your pipes you know like did you start. to sing in church or what was that like. like where did your singing Kane yeah I. how you start to singing yeah where did. you start singing at uh yeah that was. the first place I ever sing in front of.

a crowd was at church yeah yeah I. started playing drums in. church when a dangerous move usually did. they put you in that little shed or. whatever behind that thing no I hate. those things I do too yeah usually the. church always puts that guy back there. behind that little aquarium depends on. the church you go to now the ones that. you know that Brandon was in there're. they're in there Jing it's not. contemporary it's uh there are all the. churches are moving that way where they. they want to Shield everything and and. have all of the actual sounds of the. instruments coming through the PA system.

and it's like I want to I want to feel. the sounds man I want to go out just let. the drummer Play Let the guitar player. play and oh I want to get hit by damn. drumstick in there yeah that's I. actually had to go to uh it was Brandon. was playing in the church and John our. drummer John was playing drums in the. church this was probably four or five. years ago and I grew up in a Catholic. church and it's you know you walk in. with with a tie on and the organs. playing and congregation singing I come. in there and they are in there throwing.

down I thought it was a WWE match oh. yeah I had to bring John snare drum he. asked me to bring his drum and I'm like. in shorts I didn't know what I was. coming to it was it's such a it's a it's. a wild different environment but you. feel the Holy Spirit moving in a bunch. of different ways so there's a lot of. energy in there oh yeah that's why I've. always liked the P I'm pcal yeah I'm. more non-denominational cuz I don't. really the Baptist the Pentecostal. Catholic it's just all preference based. in my opinion so but I do like a. Pentecostal church because I zone out so.

easily and I'll lose attention and if I. got somebody up there screaming at me. and you know stomping his feet and. getting into it like a performance. pretty much it keeps my attention I love. that and my my pastor he was like 72 at. the time he'd be running across the pews. running over the top of them and just. feeling it man it's just something that. keeps your attention the whole time yeah. do you think it's had an effect on how. you perform kind of yeah I'd say so now. this the church he's talking about is.

what I where I was going as an adult the. church I grew up in was more of a still. a Pentecostal church but it was more of. a smaller building and a lot of older. people were there and it uh just an old. country Southern Country Church I guess. it was wasn't a lot of energy until I. started playing drums there Brandon. brought the Holy Spirit back in there. did that change the vibe in there a. little yeah it was literally just at the. time it was literally just the the. pasture with no amp or anything just. playing his Acoustics singing himels and.

then I started playing drums and then. they had a keyboard player and that's I. guess I started doing that around when I. was like 12 and played played in there. all the way up through high school. before I started going on the road and. being gone all the. time yeah man that church especially if. you got a church that's got a feeling in. it mhm that's why I remember the first. time I went to black churches man them. things was different I've been looking. for a good black church I mean I see a.

lot of similarity in in like church like. Brandon's talking about they're in there. getting down the the the preachers up. there you know really preaching and. throwing energy into it yeah the music's. bumping in and Jobing oh yeah that's. what they do yeah I love that cuz well. there's definitely something there's I. mean it's even if you look at like Tony. Robbins he jumps on his like trampoline. before he goes on stage like there's. something adrenaline going yeah to get. just his like I think he says it's to. get like the lymph in his body like.

basically just to get the it's all like. shaking the snow glow baby you know what. I'm saying you want to you want some. weather you just want nothing you know. so you got to start your own weather a. lot of times you know hop on that. trampoline and a lot of times that the. Holy Spirit or whatever that feeling you. get I feel that a lot on stage and. that's what I project a lot of the time. singing and just to see that in a. pasture you know feeling that passion. and to make him raise his voice or to. make him stomp his foot yeah you know.

he's he's up there in the moment he's. feeling it and that's that just keeps. you drawn in the whole time yeah yeah. man I need to find some good churches. that have stuff like that I thought. about the south I think and and just in. general with churches I would love to. one day maybe end up in a road like that. there's some moments on stage where I. feel a little bit like a pastor is that. weird to say well I mean you're up there. with a microphone I. yeah yeah I don't feel like it in the. sense that I'm like some uh like a. spiritual leader right no but I do feel.

in a sense like oh I wonder if there's. part of me that has this calling a. little bit that's what it is it's like a. little bit of energy goes through me and. like it's even a moment with us when I'm. talking about God and in this one bit. and I'm like wonder if why does this bit. stand out to me so much you know or I. wonder if that could be the Holy Spirit. talking to you yeah at least Whispering. at least Whispering I think God gives. you a plat form and it's a constant. tradeoff um God raises you up and gives.

you a platform and then you turn around. and give it back to God and raise him up. and then he raises you up and that's. that's just the way I've always looked. at it God gives you talents he gives you. uh drives to do things he gives you a. and then gives you a platform and you. can either make it about yourself or. turn around and give the glory back to. God and that it's just that constant. trade-off that's always going on. wow I never really yeah that's that's a. great way to say that man like it's yeah.

it's like volleying with tennis kind of. it's like love love love love you know. yeah huh that's fascinating man do you. have a pretty good faith and is it just. you that has a pretty strong faith. branding is a lot of your band members. is it a churchgoing group or we're. definitely not a churchgoing group but. yeah we're we're all pretty faith-based. yeah especially the five core of it we. all come from different religious. backgrounds with it too like I said I'm. Catholic Drew's Methodist Brandon grew. up Pentecostal John I don't I don't know.

where he came from but Southern Baptist. Southern Baptist wow yeah so we actually. I mean we've had a lot of through the. portal then yeah yeah and it's like none. of none of us are none of us are. fighting for to live like a Baptist or. to live like a Catholic we all grew up. that way we have great conversations. though the goal is to do what God put. you here to do you know that's that goes. back to not making it about yourself. something bigger is going on than just. yourself and so I think that's another.

big reason why we haven't broken up or. anything even when we do disagree or get. in fights or whatever. it's the the the goal doesn't change. there's still something bigger going on. yeah but to get everybody to believe. that that's hard to do you know cuz some. people can believe something you know. two out of five people sometimes be like. yes this is how I believe and this is. how I'm going to behave based on that. belief that there is something bigger. than us going on but to really get all.

five that's it's that's that's pretty. miraculous yeah I think you know and. it's not like I mean like our our even. our whole road crew we built of you got. Christians we got atheist it's it's it's. just like we have a common goal and it. could be something different for that. other guy but we know it's something. bigger than ourselves yeah and I know if. somebody doesn't believe it's not my job. to save them you know what I mean I'm. not gonna. I'm not I'm not out trying to preach to. anybody or convert anybody or anything.

like that I'm simply just singing songs. and if you like it if you like the. message and if you like what we do then. listen and I don't care what you believe. or anything like that yeah oh I'm not. the Lord's EMT that's what I say yeah. you know what I'm saying thing you can. do is pray for them man there's power in. prayer yeah I'll follow the ambulance. but I ain't the Lord's EMT you get right. behind get through traffic I used to do. that one I Tu behind that thing yeah. through trash yeah he's lead blocking. for me right through right through Rush. Hour amen I used to love to try to look.

in that back window and see what they're. doing in there oh yeah they should put. on the outside what's going on oh well. they I like how they leave the lights on. and you can see them in they're working. on somebody yeah it's almost like it's. almost like kind of eerie though when. you see an ambulance with lights but no. siren it's like oh that guy's dead in. there more than likely they just driving. to the hospital well it's almost like do. they say is it cheaper not to do the. sirens I wonder at that point it's like. oh this guy's dead or just run up the. bill this guy's dead like siren cost you. little extra they got insurance you go. the whole thing they're going to going.

to take it you you ain't got no. insurance you're sitting in traffic. we'll get you there buddy but you going. to sa about 500 they should have a. second level of ambulance for people. that don't don't want to pay the high. premiums of regular ambulances cuz how. much does it cost for an ambulance to. come get you you already had it dude. with insurance the average out of pocket. cost for an ambulance ride is $450 so. that's like an Uber black from probably. across town at least. oh yeah you could get you could probably. get from Lebanon to here 450 black maybe.

that's true I don't know that's a decent. ride that's about a you might be able to. get to chat n and a regular Uber and a. regular Uber yeah but that's a long ride. yeah they should have that secondary. market like hey I don't know I'm hurt I. don't you know I'm not going to die get. me over you know what I'm saying like. get maybe a thing of Naran in the in the. door I see like uber could do something. for you Uber emergency Uber emergency. Uber E Yeah Uber E Yeah Uber e it's a. little more expensive they'll drive like. a maniac you maybe get a little yellow.

light or something yeah yeah nothing. crazy just something that's like if. somebody who delivers mail in a rural. community they would put that little. orange I don't they got they got the. minivan you ever seen them leftand Drive. minivans stick you with something dude. my mom would uh deliver newspapers so. she would have that one arm boy was. just that thing would damn was she on a. left hand drive too or was it it play. for the Mets dude n she keep that window. down she'd be saying something to me and. I'd have to just every time brother and. if you did you miss Wind come things oh.

Alabama Buffalo um what uh do you guys. go on tour with the new band now or it's. just your tour now like is there a point. where you don't open for other bands how. does that kind of work it's just our. shows now and they keep selling out so. we we keep having to move to bigger. venues cuz people are getting pissed. about it but um we are actually open up. for the Rolling Stones on May the 30th. so that's going to be cool stones that. one was pretty exciting where's that at.

uh it's on Gillette Stadium Foxboro wow. that's going to be pretty that one. actually just just hit us uh last week. mhm so things like that are po kind of. popping up all the time now yeah it's. pretty cool because uh Mick Jagger. allegedly has to approve all of the. openers so he approved us I think we get. to take a picture with them too I'm not. sure but the rules are we're kind of at. a point now where we I hate to say too. big but there's a point where you can't. open for people and. there's now we're in this weird state of.

trying to get people to open for us. there's a you got a it's like a juggling. Act of figuring that out yeah what bands. are big or that can open for you and. what bands are we able to open up for. which really be like the Foo Fighters. and Chris Stapleton or something at this. point and so we only got to really do it. a couple times with especially with L we. did a whole tour with her 40 days she's. the only one she was the first one that. took us out like thatuh and uh you know. the only one we've never done it with.

anybody else that's awesome yeah her um. her I saw her perform during covid here. in Nashville really I haven't been to. one of her shows though I got to go. check her out yeah she's cool she's good. a good show yeah people love her um was. there a moment where you guys kind of. felt like damn we really got a real shot. like or we kind of making it like what. does this look like was there like one. moment where you guys all. just maybe walked into a place and sat.

down and then you like looked at each. other and you're like damn are we. like making it are we doing it yeah yeah. cuz it's a weird thing but it's a real. thing that happens I think we have. little moments like that like when we. first got on the tour bus and got off. imagine getting driving around in a. Prevost uh selling out the we sold out. three days at the ryen in like four. hours and that was. that was really cool too and those are. in September is that the ones coming up. in September that was a moment like. because we had we we knew we had a good.

feeling we'd sell one and then it was. like okay the second one's we got to. throw it up right now like within the. hour and it's like we got a third one we. probably could have done 5 night and. then the manager was like Hey pick an. opener right now for a third night we. doing it okay let me let me see you know. so we got to throw it up in 30 minutes. I'd say that's a moment and we got some. big shows coming up this fall that are. going to be kind of one of those moments. like. like I don't know specifically but those. rooms are getting bigger yeah yeah do. you pick openers together like that as a.

group yeah we pick all our openers we. that's fun I mainly let like Drew and. Andrew y'all do a really good job at. picking them yeah we just kind of find. music we like and send it to the agents. and hey what they cost can we get them. we we have friends too like a uh Taylor. Honeycut she's from Montgomery and she's. she got started about the same time we. did and on the up climb as well and uh. so we she's actually on one of our. rhyming shows Taylor Honeycut mhm mhm.

this is great man it's going to give me. a lot of good stuff to listen to yeah oh. uh Belgian man whose body makes its own. alcohol cleared of drunk driving yeah. this I've heard about this before it's a. syndrome sounds like. alcoholism yeah it does yeah but it's. where your body makes booze let me see a. Belgium man has been acquitted of drunk. driving because he has Auto Brewery. syndrome a rare condition whereby the. body produces alcohol as lawyers said.

wow um people are not born with abs but. can develop it when they already have. another intestin related condition. patients can present with symptoms. consistent with alcohol intoxication. such as slur speech stumbling loss and. motor yeah that's not similar he's just. always drunk that's got to be crazy. though if you just to not have to drink. anything but your always buzz yeah. people like how does that happen does he. have to put like fruit juice in and get. some some Hooch out I don't know like.

ry's burping y'all it's going to be a. yeah don't let him drink that apple. juice yeah pull over baby he's he's. peeing he's peeing liquor at that point. don't let him drive man I have a hard. time believing Auto bre that sounds like. some European Stuff auto Brewery. syndrome or gut fermentation syndrome is. a condition in which ethanol is produced. through the endogenous fermentation by. fungi or bacteria in the gas. gastrointestinal system oral cavity or. urinary system dang you can make your.

own that body wine baby so does that is. it come with the the the problem of. drinking too much alcohol too I don't. know like does he are you literally an. alcoholic I guess just by standing. around what happens if he gives blood. shoot I don't know I'll take a pint. though D yeah I'll take two pints dude. that man up uh what else any other news. we got um I did see they had what was. that oh they had that a dog that um did.

York if he was going to do that he could. have done it with one of those dogs yeah. would have been cool it have made the. news probably a little bigger yeah yeah. would have he was trying to start a. revolution apparently and was he yeah. you haven't seen that I didn't see it I. know that it happened yeah like protest. I Know a Man set himself on fire if. you're going to start a revolution at. least you use a robot dog with a. flamethrower to do it yeah yeah that's. are those. legal we're going to stop seeing dybs. and it's going to be people walking it's.

it's just it it's just normal I guess. yeah it's it hasn't I mean I know it. seems like we kind of just come out of. nowhere but we've been doing this for s. or eight years now so so they're just. part they've been on the bandwagon the. whole time I mean yeah my mom really. wanted me to finish college because I. did you did yeah I did I was like. halfway through sophomore year when this. when I realized I could just do this and. it was she really wanted me to finish. she wasn't paying for it either but did. you get your degree yeah I got it oh. yeah I was kind of it's hanging up I was.

kind of blessed in the sense of my. parents weren't very Hands-On as far as. that goes they were like well trust God. and do what you're going to do man you. know it's just pray and have a. relationship with God and go find your. calling you know I didn't really have. people hold my hand too much or. overbearing parents or anything like. that so yeah I could see it being tough. though as a parent and that's what your. kids getting into you know cuz. especially our parents they were they. grew up in the 70s 80s yeah back then it. was a lot different yeah dude my dad was.

for me my dad works in construction so I. was like yeah son if you want to be a. rock star go do it oh that's awesome. yeah it probably is I guess that's a two. different types of parents it's either. you got to go with something safe or you. GNA be like dude I'm I've had to do. something safer won't you get out there. and take a swing at it boss well what. people need to realize is whatever you. want to do you have to make that your. safe make that your safety net like. don't you can't you can only go so long. with like a backup plan or you can't.

side job yeah you eventually you're. going to just have to dive into it and. make that your safety net yeah figure it. out yeah it's a good point man even with. like ComEd you hear a lot of comics. started out sleeping in the back of. their cars I mean same with musicians. sleeping out in their cars to go do. another show the next day and you just. got to you just got to send it I. remember I was in love one time with a. girl and I was like I tried to stop and. do real estate for a while and I. couldn't um do real estate real good I.

actually filled out that one of the. lease is wrong or something and bought. the house no I had to pay some ladi's. rent though really yeah I messed up. and I during Co I sold roofs for roofs. yeah there was during 2020 when those. three two or three hurricanes hit the. Golf Coast at once oh yeah every body. was down there just selling roofs and I. was working with a one of the companies. that was owned by one of my friends cuz.

he knew like Co had happened and it. shows weren't very common at the time so. he he hooked me up with a job working. with him I think I sold three or four. roofs and every single roof that I sold. he lost money on he'd like get under. there and just find more and more stuff. wrong with it it ended up being like a. $440,000 job and the insurance only. covered like 20,000 of it you're like. Brandon we I'm not a good roof seller. man I'm not a good salesman period cuz. salesman's job is to convince you to buy. something and I'm my attitude was just. like buy it or not I don't care like you.

know if you don't want it no skin off my. back yeah it's like the opposite of what. you're supposed to do hurricane jobs are. a real thing where we are it's really. hope for them hurricanes well it's so. funny it's like uh you kind of like yeah. yeah so many of my friends work in like. where they sell the um help process like. people's insurance claims and all of. that man that's a during Co my fiance's. dad uh is an insurance adjuster so I was. like Unchained I was climbing on. people's roofs marking stuff with a I.

had no idea I was up there just circling. stuff just drawing whatever yeah i' yeah. I'd sign my name on half of them just go. up there and circle damage and take a. picture of it well what's scary is like. I would hate to be those homeowners you. got this hippie coming and climbing on. your roof up there coloring and drawing. yeah he's just writing Widespread Panic. lyrics up there yeah you need a new roof. draw the Wayland symbol yeah have you. guys gotten to meet uh widespread no no.

I mean we listen I wouldn't say we're. the biggest fans but I mean I think. everybody's listening to them at this. point but yeah yeah it's just something. you don't hear a lot of people get to me. it's just they're kind of like one of. those interesting groups you know it's. like er We we played with Eric Church. didn't meet him he sent a bottle of. whiskey with a note but we know we. didn't meet the guy I think it's because. he would literally fly in and play the. show and fly out I think that's how a. lot of those really really big guys are. they come in get business done and. they're out I went to I went to Eric's. house uh couple years ago yeah wrote a. song me and Matthew and Drew wrote a.

song with them how do something like. that get set up I have no idea I think. uh I think one of them booking agents. reached out to him probably think yeah I. think it got set up through the managers. and I don't really know I can't remember. how that went about if he reached out to. us or if we reach out to him are they're. like right up like are there writing. sessions that you have scheduled coming. up kind of thing that or is that just. like once in a while sort of thing how. does like cuz you guys have a new album.

so you won't be writing for a while or. you just kind of write as you go me Drew. and Matthew uh make a yearly trip up. here in January after the new year and. that's we usually stay up here for a. week and do a bunch of writing and uh. we're trying to do that more often now. um but yeah we'll sometimes we'll meet. people too and just get a coite. scheduled a lot of times though when we. write our our. uh stuff of our own it happens when. we're at home it's very hard to write.

and make music when you're touring all. the time yeah yeah most of our songs. come from with you know Brandon Drew and. Matthew writing and rather than from a. coite. somewhere yeah it's just kind of how it. happens that's how it happens man we. play all the new records at the live. shows pretty much oh sweet sweet that's. how we test them out and yeah and so the. feed the response has been good well. that's how we even do it before we even. go in the studio we just start playing. stuff if the crowd if we don't feel a. good uh response and we kind of go back.

and change a couple things and they kind. of grow with us on the road and we get I. mean it's like it's quick feedback yeah. you're constantly in a space where you. can experence we can test yeah yeah. that's pretty awesome huh it's like. going out and trying jokes on the crowd. see if last or not yeah know it's that. is one nice thing about having shows. where you're just kind of cruising along. and you're working you're writing at the. same time cuz I learn a lot of times in. the moment up on stage you know mhm I. think it's you can write it but it's. yeah after a while you kind of know your. voice too and you know what'll kind of.

roll for you I think that's what you. can't that's what you can't get and I'm. not knocking anybody who does like The. Voice or American Idol because if that's. your way if that's the path you want to. take then cool but you can't skip the. road dogging it you can't skip playing. in front of a crowd or playing in front. of empty rooms um no matter if you win a. TV show or not you're still still going. to have to acquire that experience or. it's just you're going to have a hard. time navigating trying to figure out how.

to work a crowd or figure out what works. and what doesn't work yeah that's a good. point I would hate to have gotten to had. a chance to have a larger crowd and not. known yeah I mean even then it's still. tough sometimes because it's still. you're in front of a huge group of. people I mean you see all the time like. um entertainers have problems with. people uh throwing them out we've had to. throw people out of shows or throwing. stuff at like uh Nicki Minaj gets. something thrown at her every other week. it looks like but um I don't understand.

that yeah me neither but it's like. there's always going to be that element. that you're in a live space but to not. have had the Reps of like I know how to. be here it gives you some confidence too. yeah but yeah I couldn't imagine. especially a comedian like you're saying. that just gets thrown out to the Wolves. you hear over in Arena good luck but a. lot of those guys off Kil Tony will have. to do that that's a good point they go. from a minute to I don't know what you. get as an opener you get a couple more C. you yeah that's the goal I remember when. you got to they usually start you with.

three minutes as a as a like first. opener yeah comedian with three minutes. like when you're first starting out. they're like okay you're on a show it's. like you're going to do three minutes. wow and you're like okay can I get. through three minutes and if you have to. get down early you're just like I'm done. and like well you weren't but okay come. on back here you know um and then you. try to get up to five and when you. really start start feeling like you're. rocking as a comedian is when you get to. like that 15 Mark yeah I could see that. you got a little time to get. uncomfortable you're like I might go on.

the road you might start saying. like that to people and people are like. you're out of your mind do you you work. at Dairy. Queen you know what I'm saying you're. out of your mind I got a 15minute set. man you don't know me I'm going T I'm. out of here yeah and you just start. yelling at people while you're trying to. throw that trash into the bin at night. behind the testing it out on the on the. homeless people still. outside yeah and then that's when it. gets like that's when you can kind of go. on the road with somebody but then. there's those moments where you get.

stranded you burned all your 15 in 10. minutes it was a bad show and you still. have to kill five minutes o we've we've. had shows where you just want it to be. over yeah what is it just the energy of. of a room it's just the night just is. what it is I mean we had one recent. sometimes it's just from being tired mhm. like we're we're trying to thing now. where no more than four shows a week and. no more than three in a row yep because. by that third show and we've had five. shows in a row and it's like by that by. that third show you usually you need a.

break and at the end of the day you're. taken away from the crowd anyway because. if you're up there tired and too tired. to give it your all then you know you're. selling your crowd short yeah you just. kind of go into the Motions but I mean. we've done that and people at the shows. like that's the best show I've ever. seen we're sorry sometimes it's like. Tortuga though where it's like. everybody's vibing to a completely. different style of music than we play. and then we show up just playing rock. and roll and the crowd's just like bring. back the bring back the be it's like.

they were like doing it's like a bro. country or pop country and then we're in. the middle of it and we don't even. consider ourselves country it's just. like we ruin everybody's beach party. yeah they're out there they want songs. about getting drunk and oh I could see. that kind of you guys are kind of in a. little bit not your own space but what. is it I don't we just do what we want I. guess we call it non-rock yeah I like. that non non n inational rock and roll. it's just like I like that all over the. place everybody's at that beach and. we're like here's one about mental. health enjoy if you know somebody Strays.

though that's kind of Strays that's what. stray Strays do man yeah we that part. came from just kind of being I wouldn't. say Outcast but we were always a little. different from the crowds we grew up in. didn't quite fit in I went to private. school I didn't fit in with a lot of. those kids I didn't really put that. together too yeah we are kind of. straying from the from the norm from the. norm musically. a lot of people don't really know how. what where to put us well there's some. riffs in there sometimes I feel like. some of it has an Aerosmith kind of it's. interesting I'll go through different.

moments where I feel different things. you know MH yeah it's just I mean we. don't when we write or making music we. don't try to sound like anybody or Ian. we just do what we think sounds cool. yeah I think that's really cool to find. your own little niche yeah well look I. think it's a just a testament to but to. be able to figure out what works for. Five Guys at once it's pretty remarkable. you know CU you really have you have. five inputs even though you have only. three or four guys contribute maybe on. the songwriting Edge but we still all.

work it up together yeah we all create. together yeah but then yeah it just goes. back to not being able to skip that step. playing in front of crowds together as a. band and Road dogging it and everything. that comes along with all of that it's. that's where you start to figure out how. each other plays or what what each. other's about to do it's kind of like. what is it telek telekinesis telekinesis. t t telekinetic no it's not what's the. word we're looking for you telepathic.

when women all get on the same menual. cycle or whatever like on a volleyball. team we definitely have that oh yeah. well we're on the same musical cycle I. like that man um any any unique things. that have happened out on the road any. wild cat any oh man we got stories for. days anything that really shook you out. there recent or just in general back in. the day we've had bus fires we've blown. we did a whole transmission swap. ourselves in Colorado no way we bought. another bus we uh we were going.

through uh Colorado I think I70 had. washed out yeah I70 was washed out so we. had to go the fair play up through where. South Park is and it's like 13,000 ft. and we had to go the back way to get to. uh Grand Junction we were going up the. side of this mountain and I was laying. in my bump I was driving I hear like. Andrew screaming I had my headphones in. and I hear him screaming like we just. blew the transmission out and like we're. literally on the side of a mountain yeah. it's it's 90° straight down 90° straight.

up two lane road and just right there. like right against the side of it with. rocks and there's a folding Rock sign. and Drew like Steps out of the bus and. hits some gravel and immediately falls. down just TS he he gets up starts. punching the bus we're all just I just. knew it was happening and we're just. going and when you get up that high with. our diesel especially you lose you know. the math you lose what 3% for every. th000 ft or so of what brain power or. whatever our brain power for the motor.

oh like the air is so thin the the motor. has to work hard probably some brain. power too we definitely losing some. brain power I'm not good with altitude I. I I've had some bad times but and how'. youall get that thing back down you need. a tow truck yeah we had we got a we had. to get a semi TR that loaded the bus up. and our trailer like a $5,000 toe to the. a State Trooper a State Trooper gave us. a ride as well out of the goodness of. his heart and uh yeah bu it buav Vista. Colorado and there was like one hotel. room left in that whole town cuz I was.

calling and calling and calling while we. were waiting on the tow truck and. finally got it and we all piled up in. that one hotel room like what are we. going to do me and Andrew so we had the. bus dropped off at a transmission shop. in town and it was probably a good four. miles away mhm and we uh got up the next. morning right before the sun come up and. just start walk walking towards it and. uh and we're like 10,000 ft I mean we ar. built we're level men we ain't built for. that we finally make it to the.

transmission shop and he's like man I'm. I'm two months backed up get this thing. out of here I can't work on this oh and. so we're walking back to the hotel. wondering what we're going to do and. we've we've been in that situation. before and CU I mean we've had to roll. up the shops like hey we ain't leaving. yeah you going to fix it or we stay in. here with you and it's not like we just. like we just have to throw money at. people like just work on it we'll pay. you whatever and he's not having it damn. he's like sorry isn't that where The. Shining is where the hotel is bov Vista. I don't think so this is not a very nice.

I mean it's beautiful but it's not a big. town like where that big hotel would be. okay Ben might have to pull that one up. I'm not sure where that's at yeah see. where that's at man it is up in the. mountain somewhere. though is that Montana it's in Oregon. man dude that place is in England uh no. the Interiors were filmed no The Shining. yeah the interior the real Overlook. Hotel maybe mhm you know we got a good. godly woman in the sequel to The Shining. for like two seconds oh yeah.

yeah drct sleep but to continue what we. were talking about was uh we started. having the we started walking back just. like what do we do and we have to start. me and Brandon's hitchhiking through. this town in Colorado literally walking. out with a thumb out uhuh yeah this old. guy on the Jeep picks us up and he gave. us a ride to the hotel we were just like. we have to do something damn we've been. picked up by strangers bunch of times he. dropped us off and he's like hey there's. a a white water rafting company that. sells buses like the one you're talking. about maybe hit them up see if they you.

can buy a bus from them and we were like. yeah whatever thank you still tried to. find someone to rebuild the transmission. and the closest person that would was in. Denver it's like three hours away he. said if you pull it and bring it to me. I'll I'll build it for you and so before. we resorted to that we had rented a. U-Haul Van and went and talked to that. company that the white water rafting. company and he had a a bus just like. ours that had a freshly rebuilt. transmission in it he put like 30 miles.

on it and parked it cuz he bought a. school bus they used the buses to bust. people out to the river to White Water. ra and uh he said he'd sell us the bus. for three. grand and then he figured out we were a. ban and he was like if y'all play a show. for us I I'll knock a grand off the. price no way we were here for like 4. days and the place is so they do that. white water after all these teenagers. come to be the Gods like a bunch of. River Rats come in and they you know. those campers on the back of a pickup. truck yeah they it's a field full of.

them and that's lay on the ground that's. where these kids are living in those. yeah and the grass it's all grown up. around them and there's they don't have. power it's just the ground and then the. camper top and the camper top and it's. like it's like a trailer park of them. they're everywhere but it's not a full. trailer it's just the little it's just. that little isn't it what do you mean. yeah I mean well you I think you can. stand up in them but they have like that. little the part in the top you can sleep. in here's what I'm picking a picture in. like a pickup truck and then that thing. that goes on the back that goes on the.

bed yeah like sits down goes on the bed. and kind of goes over the the cab oh no. not that I'm just thinking of the one. that just goes that's e oh you're. thinking of a camper shell no this is. like a it's like a motor ho well now I. know what you're talking about yeah with. the piece that goes over the top window. unit in them sometimes and these are. straight hippies and there's no trucks. just those just those and the grass is. all grown over top of them they're. living in them yeah yeah it's like those. not as nice like that one on the top. right yeah 100% no oh left that one's. too big that one it's a bunch of those.

and these kids are straight up real life. hippies like straight up we were playing. we set up and played for him and they. were dancing in between songs kind of. thing it's all gravel it's all dusty in. here in the rafting building was. probably 30 or 40 of these kids I say. kids they're probably in their late. teens early 20s it was it was in the big. bu where they keep all the boats and we. sat up in there and it was like a gravel. floor and just the dust from them like. scooting Shing that hippie Shuffle dude.

that's incredible and that was uh yeah. look up see what rafting company that. was that's phenomenal water rafting yeah. we can I mean there's a couple it's in. buav. Vista some white waterer something so. then you guys take off in that new bus. well we get the tow truck to drop our. bus off next to the one we just. purchased and then we just start start. taking them apart and we took the. transmission out of ours took the. transmission out of the other one and. swapped them around and I did something.

wrong in the process I didn't put the. torque converter all the way in and so. we bolted it up and bent a pump gear and. had to pull it back out and take it to. that original transmission shop and we. pulled one of the what he was talking. about like hey we need you to fix this. we ain't leaving fix he end up having a. soft spot he actually helped us out big. time he took it apart and straightened. out what I had accidentally bent and put. it back together together and then we. got it back in. there a two-day job turned into like a. 5day job and it was miserable but while. like Brandon and a couple of of the this. is just the five of us on the road.

together they would be working on. dropping the transmission or getting the. other one ready me and Zach would be. just ripping every part we could get our. hands on on this bus you don't see these. buses ever in like a pull apart usually. somebody will take them it's a 73 diesel. those never show up so we're getting. every part you could put a hand on. snatching it out we took out like the. turbo we took the back AC unit we took. the driver's chair the took the uh the. steering the the steering box underneath. it that thing would never drive ever.
