E1200 - Dustin Lynch, Dancing With The Stars Mariah Carey Week, RHONY & Ultimate Girls Trip Finale
1h 39m 33s
The hosts share a lighthearted yet insightful discussion on fall traditions, diving into favorite activities like house parties, cuffing season, and Halloween. They contrast personal preferences—some enjoy spooky experiences, others prefer safe, cozy settings—highlighting their individual reactions to fear and adventure. A strong segment critiques Pete Davidson’s online comments about influencers, calling them hypocritical and dismissive of genuine digital connections. The group explores age and attractiveness, agreeing that personal maturity and vibe matter more than age, with 36 seen as a mature, desirable milestone. They also discuss the nostalgic appeal of Olive Garden as a low-pressure date spot, rooted in shared cultural memory. The episode then shifts to a feature on country music artist Dustin Lynch, detailing his unexpected rise as a DJ in Las Vegas, his success with residencies, and his new album “Clean Slate” featuring a collaboration with Ashley Cook. The conversation reflects on music evolution, internet-driven discovery, and the importance of reinvention, ending with plans for a South Korea adventure and a deeper appreciation for personal growth and authenticity in both relationships and careers.

i'll be like oh this is like fun and nice and i get like comfortable and i don't know i don't know
um then it doesn't work out but that's but i i like doing that in the fall because it just feels
so cozy you know i'm like on my couch does it feel cozy right now though or is it hot as balls
blaring hot no it's cozy in chicago i walked outside today and took like an extra lap around
the block before i went and got coffee just because of how like crispy air was and it was

real scared i don't like the haunted houses i get real scared i don't like the haunted houses
oh that that's like the best part and especially when you go in a good group there's like there's
always gonna be somebody who's more afraid than you are and then you laugh and you find the joy
in it when you're always the one that's always scared you're like no fuck this it's so scary
no it's exactly that's why i don't go i stay inside where it's safe with my fake little
relationship and we snuggle you're throwing her in front of you yeah exactly i like watch
horror movies like this yes me too i'm such a scaredy cat babies i actually don't know
don't watch horror movies at all because i just can't but i do like going to a haunted house
and i want to be middle of the pack and i want every i want people on my side i want like body
guards but i want to go through but i don't want to ever lead the pack and i want to be snuggled
like i'm holding someone's shirt and my face is in their shirt i can't see anything so i'm just
looking at my feet the whole time but i like that one time my brother um i went to bush gardens with
with my family and why do i know what bush gardens is that florida there's
one in florida and there's one in like virginia or something that's really you know um anyway my
brother was at was with me at um a haunted house that was the raven themed and he literally almost
punched a guy no it's scary yeah yeah wait like edgar allen poe the raven edgar allen pose the
raven and they keep like that's cool though it was cool but he literally almost punched one of
the poor teenagers working there workers they're doing a good job they scared him they were yeah
and he's like oh my god i'm scared i'm scared i'm scared i'm scared i'm scared
they tried to do that uh at ohio state for us for like a social video um where they had somebody
dressed up like as our mascot and would like scare us that's high risk yeah one of my teammates like
kicked the shit out of him oh my gosh yeah that's the thing it's like it is it is high risk to work
in one of those environments i went to six flags this weekend which um i didn't realize but mary
pointed out isn't it called like fright fest around this time of year yeah they have that at
in the evenings and i will say no tea no shade to
any workers at Six Flags but I did meet some questionable individuals I was like yeah there
might not be a background check to work here yeah so of all of the fright fests that exist
around theme parks I was like this is the last place I want to go because I'm always afraid of
like a real creeper like getting into a behind the scenes like spooky house and then there's
like a real scary man with a real chainsaw who's actually going to get you that adds to it though
no that's like kind of it's a part of the fear but then also when I was at Six Flags I was like
nothing seems up to code that's the point exactly and every like movie or or tv show that like
incorporates this stuff the bit is always it's like somebody lost their job had to go to like
Alcoholics Anonymous and this is their like reintroduction back into society they play
these characters at these like clowns and they're like throwing up in the suit they're like strung
trying to sleep
scare these kids like in the show Succession that is the bit that is so funny yeah that's
my biggest fear I mean we we didn't stay for the scary part we just did the ride so you like riding
roller coasters I do I guess I get queasy I used to be like an adrenaline junkie when I was a kid
like crazy like I've jumped out of airplanes I've done bungee jumping like used to be just insane
I'm way more cautious now to the point where I was like I guess like maybe I was one of the
more adventurous ones on this trip but you're a daredevil
not anymore I used to be but I I realize I do these things I'm like I gotta tap back in you know
like I can't lose sight of like crazy Sue that crazy Sue yeah crazy Sue yeah yeah Jimmy what
do you do for adrenaline I'm not much of an adrenaline junkie honestly I don't really get
off on that kind of stuff yeah it's like you don't like roller coasters or I don't like
roller coasters yeah no I don't like getting scared like that well you two should go to
Disneyland yes I guess my adrenaline comes from like trying to I guess I guess the the chase and
the high the highs and lows of dating adrenaline junkie so what happens when you settle down well
that's why I never got past two-year humps so still working on that part have you ever taken
a girl to the Olive Garden I have not but I fuck Olive Garden and breadsticks I went to Olive
Garden I guess it was the best day ever at Six Flags into Olive Garden it was suburb maxing
suburb maxing damn I haven't been to an Olive Garden in so long that's lit actually when's
what's y'all's go-to?
you order when you go to Olive Garden I just think about the breadsticks I don't even know what else
there is anymore I got the tour of Italy oh what is that oh my god Siri you don't know wait do you
know oh gee have you been I've been in the past but like no I haven't been in like over a decade
right same not for real though do they still have the unlimited breadsticks though that's all I
really care about yes and the salad and soup actually too I didn't know that I only ever did
the salad the Zappatascana you're talking tour Italy the Zappatascana is the best oh my god the Zappatascana is the best
you're talking tour Italy the Zappatascana is the best oh my god you get the unlimited soup salad
breadsticks at Olive Garden this is how this is when you're broke this is what you do you go to
Olive Garden yeah you get the unlimited soup salad over red lobster because they got the unlimited
lobster those biscuits are good okay red this is no tea no shade to the red lob but they just don't
have what you say over there the bargain is you do the unlimited soup salad breadsticks you fill
yourself up right you fill up on that then you get the tour Italy too right and so then you have a
meal for like the next two days and if you want to take it a three-day meal if you take a step
further there's an add-on portion of the menu I did not know this I haven't been to Olive Garden
in 10 years as well but it brought back a lot for me there's a little add-on for six dollars and six
dollars only you can get an entire extra meal yes you can to go yes and it's a it's a short list
but there's good stuff on there see I feel like y'all are setting me up for failure like if I
if I meet a little somebody and I say hey you want to go on a nice little date let's go to
Olive Garden are y'all setting me up for failure no it's literally nostalgic though yeah because
there's no way she's gonna be stoked about going to Olive Garden with if she's a real one
she will be because she understands
community you know what you're right
actually you know what you're right this is like
step one if she can get down with going to
Olive Garden with me she might be the one
exactly I think anybody
I mean here's what I will say if a guy
like slid into my DMs
and unironically was
like I want to take you on a date like would love
to meet you whatever I'd be like oh my god okay great and then
was like Olive Garden I'd be like
oh my god
Olive Garden is a place you take your family
it's a place you go with your family
if I yes but if
he led with like I think this
could be like really funny or like if we
like had a conversation he was like
it's been a long time since if it was like
funny and a bit I'd be like I'm so down
you know if he made sure to point out
it's kind of funny then
I'd be like this is not creepy but if it
was a genuine sincere
offer of like this is what you're getting
I'm getting a to go
box I wish Natalie was
here because I need to know if Victoria
likes Olive Garden
I have a feeling she maybe doesn't
I don't know I feel like the response
would be like here your
family is that a proposal
no
but that's a good that's a good this is good
like you know stepping stone like
if you're if you're afraid of like the
no blue crowd you know what let's just
it's not Burger King
it's Olive Garden well speaking of where's

getting into headlines have you seen
the Pete Davidson variety
interview that is going viral
at the moment yes
I guess influencer Olivia O'Brien
called him out
while he was talking shit about female
influencers what'd she say I saw
what he said and it was quite hypocritical
but I wonder what she said
she said I was dating him in 2020
and found out we were no longer together by
seeing on Snapchat Daily Mail that he went
public with a more famous woman
LMAO he is an absolute joke of a human
being ick wait she found
out that they were no longer together by
seeing him with somebody else yep
stand up guy what Snapchat
Daily Mail is a crazy way to find out
that's gnarly what's the worst way you guys
have broken up with someone or been broken
up with oh I can't even say mine
you have to
no here this is what I can
say without getting into the details
so one of my very first girlfriends
in high school
I was a sophomore
in high school and she
was like in order for us to like
you know like progress in our
relationship we'll say romantically
we have to be dating so I'm like
oh bad be my girlfriend boom became my
girlfriend we progressed
romantically and you broke up
and then you broke up is that what I'm talking about
like right you did it
yeah
I've learned a lot since then
we're good friends now
bring her on
now honestly
I've learned a lot since then
good lord oh my gosh well
I'm gonna be like oh my gosh
I'm praying for her
she's okay she's good she's chilling
we we dated for maybe
like 40 less than
48 hours okay well I
am sad to
hear that but also glad that you have grown and
glad that she's doing well shout out to
her I don't think I have like a really crazy
breakup like I don't think there was anything
well I do have crazy breakups but I don't have anything
that was like a crazy way to find out they were always
like conversations yeah
I found out I was bad at breaking up with somebody
that took three months to like finally be
like we're done yeah
I'm that way too yeah too nice
they start crying I feel bad I'm a
lingerer yeah same
yeah yeah
it happened to me this most recent time around actually
tea
hey I don't know
I saw the video that where Pete
was like ranting and I'm just like
there's so many industries where
men make so much money
for not that much
and it's not even like not that
much because I do think of like athletes as somebody
where they make
so much money but they are sacrificing their
mind their body their lifestyle the
dedication like there's a lot there but they make
a crazy amount of money
in men's athletics
but coming from
like an influencer I'm not somebody that's making
like 40 million dollars a year or
even a small fraction of that
but what I will say is like there is a trade
off and the people that
he's talking about like there is a trade off to
making that kind of money to
your emotional well-being
and
I've experienced that on a small scale
and I'm like okay you want to sit here and talk about
influencers and that they're doing
nothing but I'm like to put yourself
out there like that and to be perceived
by people is like not natural
and in the same way that like athletes
get hit and they it's taxing on their
body and their minds like I do
think influencers that are and even
smaller influencers but influencers are making that kind of money
are going through and experiencing a lot
and like if you kind of look at the
trajectory of what happens to people
in the limelight like
so often bad things happen to them
like they go through hardships there's
addiction there's like lots of things that can come from
that that's hard yeah and this
is what Pete Davidson said he said
people do really crazy shit on
the internet it's bad and it makes
me sad you know and girls are just
talking to themselves on there
and they're like okay come get ready with
me and I'm like who the fuck are you
what do you do nothing what
the fuck is this and that's what he said
which is crazy coming from a man who's a stand
up comedian yeah I'm
almost get like his message in the beginning
before he targeted the get
ready with me girls because like there is a lot of
like wild shit on the internet that like
I hate that it gets attention
and that people get platform because of certain
like takes and like whatever niche
they have they've carved out for themselves on the internet
like there's a lot of shit about the internet
that I am not like
happy to find myself grouped in
with because I'm an influencer but then
when he targets the get ready with me girls it's like wait
wait wait there's way bigger fish to fry
dog like and they ain't
causing no problems like yeah
and also you also you're actually
you don't I'm getting worked up because
from him of all people
to act like you don't know
like what the the cell is
on their part of like what they're doing like you
I know you know this because I know the
girls you've been with bro like
it was just from him of all
people it was just interesting
it's it's hater energy
especially because he's an actor
too you know where I'm like
a whole thing with the actors is that it's like you're
connecting with material to connect with people
to tell stories the difference
between an influencer and an actor is that instead
of using other people's stories to convey
emotions and to get messages
across they're telling their truth they're talking
about what's important to them sharing
things and that to people why people follow
them is based off of feeling a real
genuine human connection parasocial or not
but yeah to your point they get ready with
me I are doing absolutely nothing making some
bread not an issue the people lighting
fireworks up their assholes and putting it on
you know social media like I'm
concerned for your health and well-being let alone people
finding that cool right you know what I mean
so I'm like yeah when things cause danger or
harm to somebody or other people around
you for attention that makes me sad
but I'm like when people just trying to connect
in a world where people only want to stare
at a screen like let that be
a genuine connection for someone it's also
like he's targeting specifically like
girls doing get ready with me which is
just like the girly pops are literally just
trying to have fun online meanwhile they're like certain
men online that are like literally
actively trying to like
tear it down tear it like
women down and like the
manosphere or like the
spreading misinformation like for the
political campaigns and stuff like and I know
Pete Davidson cracks jokes satirically
regarding politics so I know he's
tapped in like why are you not directing
your anger with the internet towards
them thank you right I didn't get
ready with me girls but they fuck with nobody
like it's like bro you're a stand-up from
Staten Island this little dick energy honestly
is what it is which is kind of crazy because apparently
he has like a not a
little whatever I actually heard that or maybe
he said it where he was talking about like Ariana fucked
him over because of that by saying that he had this
big dick energy because he was like yeah so I disappoint
every woman after the fact you know
what karma which I think I'm like if that's
the facts and I'm like that is a baller ass fucking
but it's also like if that's you
know I don't know Pete Davidson is
like I like as a SNL
fan like I know a lot about him
and like he has like a complicated
backstory and stuff and like
I don't think he's like evil but I do think
he's like stupid sometimes that's what I
said you know male comedians can just get
away with a bunch of stuff and like saying a
bunch of things and I'm kind of in a point in my
life where I'm like over that and I'm
like just shut up I feel
you on that though like because I was
a fan for a while I probably still am a
fan like this just kind of rubbed me the wrong way
and like but he has
gone through these weird little like rebranding
like he got rid of all the tattoos trying to
clean up his image then he comes out and says
this it's like
is he going through like a midlife crisis or something
what's going on at least we
got um Dr. Mike
maybe a potentially
good guy maybe being the bachelor
going through a midlife crisis no no
I meant like a good guy
in the world midlife ascension
how old is Dr. Mike I don't
know all I know is he's a man I don't need to be
gaslit into being told that he's hot
you don't think he's attractive
I'm talking about Pete Davidson but I was saying I think
Dr. Mike I don't need to be gaslit
Dr. Mike is 36 and is hot
copy I was saying Dr. Mike a good looking
lad honestly 36
in general is hot.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, they're trying to go back
the roots they're like let's get someone who's actually looking for love who's actually gonna
get married I'm like let's go 36 is hot I haven't even really seen him but I'm like I'll sign back
up wait so it's 36 is that because I somebody told me this at a wedding I ain't gonna say who
because it was wild to be coming from this person but she was saying like I should not settle down
right now because I'm at my most desirable age like I'm at the age in life where like I have
I'm I have the most options essentially but you're saying 36 is that age I think it depends
I think that if I were I do think that unless you meet somebody absolutely incredible which I do
believe that can happen if you meet somebody incredible and you want to settle down like
lock it in for sure but like as far as like peak attractiveness or whatever
peak desirability what age is that you think for a guy versus for a girl I honestly think
it depends I think it totally depends like well I'm in my 30s young 30s you know so 36 is like a
great age for me because I'm like oh you're a few years older than me and that is just like hot I'm
like you probably have your life together and that's what comes I mean not every 36 year old
does but that's what comes with being 36 is like maturity um like also I've I find that older guys
like are more ready and like know what they want so like that's just hot
I think I mean you're so young I wouldn't let somebody say like oh this is your peak hotness
so like enjoy I mean yeah sure enjoy but like I would more so just say like settle down when
you're ready to settle down but like have fun in the meantime that's what I said it's more so
your priorities if you're into having options and different one every it's less about me taking this
person's advice this is not the person I would take advice from honestly it was just interesting
for you to say like 36 is like that's hot it's hot I think it's 36 is hot I think it's hot
for where Susie is in her life right now I love that that gives me like another eight years of
runway minimum yeah absolutely what does everyone think the hottest age is for myself or for others
in general like what's the what's the hottest age I would say for me it was 32 last year but I was
also mentally ill but um I think I'd never look better but I would say in general like okay
honestly like the algorithm I'm
it's like for women it's like women in their 40s that's what I was gonna say I'm so excited to like
get to my 40s it's a while away but yeah like where I'm just like I think 20s is like finding
yourself making mistakes choices choosing the wrong people whatever 30s is kind of like when
you get tired of all of the bullshit that you went through in your 20s and you're like okay like I want
to pay my rent I want to go to sleep at a decent time maybe I'll get into skincare who knows and I
like I want to like hang out with and chill with and only wants to hang out with me that would be
cool and then 30s is also like where you start getting a little bit more serious and finding
the direction of like what you want for your future and then I think 40s is like establishing
yeah you know what I mean like there's no more like do I want to go this way do it like 30s is
a bunch of forks in the road you know you're like I love this I love this but which way do I really
want to stick it to that's me right now and then by the time you're in your 40s you're like all
right I've built this I've established this and now I'm just trying to build my empire yeah we're
saying we're saying the hottest age right like yeah I'm just trying to build my fucking empire
but I think I think the hotness what somebody considers hot is obviously subjective but go
ahead Susie oh no I was gonna say I think that's true I think our like perspective is like even
like a guy being 36 being hot to me I'm like that's less about his age or like what he looks
like but more about his aura and his vibe and what he's bringing to the table and like his inner
you know and I'm pointing at his chest because I'm picturing like a big masculine well I sent
some pictures if you want to look yes um maybe I can send a shirtless one for you as well but
he with all this in mind he's 36 he's a doctor he does have 15 million YouTube subscribers he's
he's big on the platform do we think he'd be a good bachelor he's really cute I would love to
see him interact with a patient um what's his bedside man what's his bedside manner and what
is like his doc doc review like what are people are they like he really validated my concerns and
he gave me like adequate time because that would probably say a lot about his relationship skills
he's a family doctor my thoughts
so cute I literally might sign back up I do enjoy his videos of when he gives people advice like he
kind of goes out on the street and he's like what question do you have for a doctor and they're like
okay I have this weird mold like people just had random questions for him he was so nice about it
so those are the videos I liked about him he seems to be a good doctor which is lovely to see
so is this like a campaign that's like starting on the internet he was reached out to is all we
know really but we don't know if he responded so people are just really running with this theory
and apparently the casting is going back to their old roots they really want to
find someone who's looking for love even though he is also a bit of an influencer but I'm also like
you know what were y'all doing the last 10 years guys right if that wasn't the goal love is blind
season 11 coming out is this one boston it is boston accents I can't wait the evilness of the
men oh really I mean have y'all met a boston man not not really my homies is from boston real real
demons oh for real real demons
what was that movie with casey affleck that's really really sad and then manchester by the sea
yep there you go manchester by the sea that movie I left in a worse mood than I came in
I've still never seen uh love is blind my uh my cast member jimmy p was on one of the seasons
and the premise is fucking out of just wild it is wild I don't think love is blind I
will say that well speaking of men who could possibly make a great bachelor dustin lynch
is up next with nick and natalie dustin welcome back great to be back with you guys uh it's good
to see you I feel like we became good friends when you're on the first time we definitely did
and then we have these busy lives and never talked again real busy yeah had a couple kids
because I think we chatted what two and a half years ago did we have our first daughter when
we were no we didn't no because we I just I just met her downstairs in the kitchen so I know you
and she's two going on three right yeah two and a half so yeah I think it was probably wow I must
have been pregnant was I pregnant I don't know I mean it was close you probably didn't ask
I hope it was like super obvious that's yeah I learned that the hard way early on in my career
um you just don't ask a meet and greet what are you do you just don't ask that question yeah
yeah yeah did that do we get like did that happen by accident what it happened by accident yeah
oh
oh
just kidding thank goodness there's a long line behind you we got to keep it moving we got to
keep it moving and next so what have you been up to man oh my gosh it's it's been a fun since we
hung out last just a fun kind of crazy whirlwind of a couple years professionally I honestly thought
I was I was like kind of in this groove of like okay got the career kind of figured out time to
really just settle in and and start um being a little bit more efficient and intentional with
my off time and then boom uh I dj'd for a random
event in las vegas my first dj set ever you did and uh that just threw me into a complete tailspin
in a great way is that something you would like well yeah you're familiar with summer house it
like kyle cook yeah so you know how was it a dream was it like someone said hey do you want a dj and
you did it we can jump we can jump to that but how it started we had the um the opening song and video
for pbr bull riding on cbs yeah and their world finals were in vegas so I was like well shoot we
have the weekend off I'll just come hang out and see the the thing live and the ceo goes hey man you
want to play our after party it's that excess at the win which is one of my favorite nightclubs
and I was like sure but they don't have a stage dude and he goes we'll figure it out do whatever
you want I was like all right I'm gonna dj and I thought it'd be a one-time thing the winds the
winds like legit the like some might say the best hotel in vegas I would agree with that yeah um
anyways we played that night I had two weeks to get the show ready played uh played a small set
and I was like oh my god I'm gonna play that night I'm gonna play that night I'm gonna play that night
and it felt like it was natural it felt good and um the next day the phone was ringing off the hook
and we got booked again two weeks later to play with diplo and then after that performance they
offered us residency in 2025 so um what to go back to a tailspin in a good way all of a sudden I'm
like how am I a resident dj at the win in las vegas does your does your music talents carrying
carry over to like dj because you know obviously the the you know if someone wants to be a critic
you know they'll be like oh it is press player stuff but obviously some of the best djs out there
are very talented like how what was the learning curve if anything from you being obviously top of
your game as a country artist to becoming a dj well I think what sets us apart is we aren't
trying to compete with a james hype or or diplo um but we do feed off the room so we pivot but but
also I'm performing a lot of the show live I'm singing live and it's a very interactive set like
I'm out in the crowd I'm in the booth pouring shots I'm on the mic out there and I'm like I'm
out there and I've got a couple guys up on stage with me that are both pro djs too so um the
learning curve for me wasn't that much because I was already doing a bunch of that stuff and
our like pool parties and stuff um so we just kind of kind of molded all those worlds together
but but it just you know right when I thought okay here's my tour schedule with country music
and then these are my off days all of a sudden boom I have 30 cities of dj sets
the last two years and has that gotten in the way of making country music not at all
no it's actually helped okay yeah it's 15 years into chasing the same thing it's like
oh well you know that's the tough part you get a you get a song that goes up the charts and then
you start back at zero and you got to do it again and um 15 years of that it's like okay it's kind
of the same game and now it's not i'm getting to collab with some of the coolest people yeah it
must have been very rewarding right because it's like people have talked about like the
sieving or itch and stuff it's something i heard about recently just like in a lot of professional
careers but like from a creative space like you said like yeah sometimes you need like a new spark
or just like a something like a fresh medium to play around with and it must be like in some ways
as like you said like exciting and not necessarily starting over but starting something new and fresh
i feel like on those shows you're right i feel like i'm back in the truck and trailer playing
frat parties again yeah yeah like it's like i don't know what i'm doing what is happening
um it's just the fun excitement of that and i think getting to do that
a handful of times a year allows me to come back to country and it feel like i'm not chasing the
same thing all year so it's been it's been good i mean i feel like i'm brand new again 15 years into
my country career which is yeah i was gonna say you've been doing this for so long and i guess
that kind of answers my question but like how are you feeling today in your career versus when you
release cowboys and angels and what was that 2012 um just as excited yeah yeah 2012 um just as
excited and honestly just as inspired like i'm so fired up to be making music and putting it out
and i think that probably is just a culmination of the right chemistry on the road too like my
band and crew we're very close and we're having um just so much fun playing the country tour
and then i have this whole new thing that's like what's happening over here with the dj stuff so
yeah we're between vegas and miami mostly and then we'll pump up to montreal and toronto that's kind
of our our hopes right now those are some fun cities yeah right i know lots of great restaurants
to check out how's it been for your dating life um well you know it's brought in a whole new circle
of friends and collaborators and a really cool red carpet you know it's like i tell all my close
friends like hey now's the time to come to vegas they roll the carpet out you know and let's have
some fun neat dinner and sit in a booth that usually costs way too much money for us to afford
we will take the invite for the next for the next yeah please come y'all absolutely i actually had
uh one of our staffs out there tyler cameron came out and did a good friend of ours yeah he did a
guest i guess yeah that's right you wait we went to coachella with him and didn't you guys like
make up a song like you helped with him
it was like a spoof and he had like a country song yeah he was doing his april fool's joke yeah
yeah yeah and saying like hey i'm gonna be an artist and uh made a song and then and then
popped up and performed it the first time at the wind with us that's amazing it's fun so yeah it
just it's brought in a whole new circle of friends and i feel like after two years of it i'm like
okay i've kind of found the rhythm i've got my circles there in those worlds now and it feels
a little bit more like normal life not what is this you know happening right now how did you
have just a cup of coffee on summer house or reality tv like what was that all about i know
like you kind of like you popped up in one episode i did yeah yeah which was so fun how did that
happen by the way i can see how that gets addicting it was awesome you really okay it's awesome well
you know lindsey's been trying to get us on um uh summer house for a long time and it's just
it's always we've been trying to do music on the show and it's just quite impossible to get to the
hamptons with gear and all that stuff so like play with one of their parties one of their events yeah
and then we of course we were supposed to do their wedding and we were supposed to do their wedding
which we actually were going to get to make um and then that didn't happen and so we just you
know we just stayed in contact and um she came out to a couple shows and then i was believe it or not
it's it's so funny she facetimed me the last few times she's facetimed me i've literally been
getting into my plane to fly somewhere and it was like the perfect time where i was just like
alone and on a tarmac i was like oh this would be funny because i'm kind of a funny background
answer a phone call and she's like hey we're filming this new show called in the city it
for you to get to and i was like i'm actually going to be able to get to new york for meetings
anyways let's do it so i popped in and she didn't really want to brief me too much on what was
happening because i don't really follow that yeah and the show hadn't been out yet i think it was
like the the first season they were filming but she goes look there's going to be plenty of drama
just be you on top of this rooftop we're going to a bar and trust me it's going to get it's going
to get heated and and without really knowing all these characters by the end of the evening of
course the drinks start to fall and i'm like oh my god i'm going to be like oh my god i'm going to
start flowing and i've taken my side kind of you know i'm going to bat but it was a great experience
i see how it's so addicting to like fall into those those lines on those shows because it is
real people in real lives but i knew that i could eject so i just kept on kind of pushing the buttons
you know it's like i've got a show in florida tomorrow like heightened reality in a way where
it's just like because again people have so many questions about how that stuff is made yeah i know
it's familiar with the bravo world as i am with other kind of reality tv formats and like i've
always seen it as like kind of like it's real but it's like there's awareness of a heightenedness
and did it feel like would it for you when you say it would have been fun
like is it fun to just be like well like there's a permission to be like just fight you know just
kind of this express yourself let it go if it gets nasty great you know you'll figure it out
later is that is that what makes it fun because like in real life they're like almost as if the
are actually lower i just feel like for me that situation my friend circle i'm not around i don't
want to say it's the wrong word but there's not that toxic like yeah bowing up to each other like
on a normal rooftop night with my friends i can't imagine that going down so it was for me it was
like this friend circle that i just got you know morphed into where it is spicy they're like you
know and you know what i've got to say i went and used the restroom downstairs and i missed
something that that happened up top and i can't imagine that i can't imagine that i can't imagine
came out into the bar downstairs and they were like legit heated mad so it's not that there's
there wasn't like a whole i mean it's real yeah and just my first time being on set i just i was
just so intrigued with how all that world works and and um it was fun it really is fascinating
and it's like you realize just like they are they're creating something without a doubt and
lindsey's i mean she's what a g she's been doing it for what yeah 10 years yeah yeah so good she's
so good and like we've done interviews together she came and supported us at cma fest um this
past june and and we had um you know we had some outlets there and just getting to interview next
to her i was like wow she's got it i think they were they were like not much rumors but there were
like people were wondering what the like the status was and obviously it seems like you guys are just
good friends was it fun to be kind of like caught up in like the the bravo gossip or was that kind
of like a headache that like or was that like a headache that you were like oh my god i'm so
it's just like whatever it was yeah it was fun absolutely it was it's it's funny for me because
my friends are reaching out that know me and and real you know the real the real life thing yeah
and they're fans of and they're friends of bravo and and a couple buddies reached out and they're
like well every girl in the house right now is in the kitchen of this house party talking about you
and lindsey so i guess that was you know i guess that worked i don't know what you know it's like
it's good i mean for my line of work it's great to be top of mind yeah around the campfire right
but no it's it was just an organic friendship that happened and um who doesn't like going on
dinner dates right and that was one thing i realized after after we filmed i i took not all
the cast came because a lot of people were mad at each other but a lot of the cast came to dinner
and like for me being in new york city i'm a fish out of water and to get to you know take a dinner
recommendation from them and and go to dinner with everybody it was just an awesome experience
it is really fun to like walk the city with a new york like a new yorker yeah because you
just like you know for us we're just constantly on our phones like mapping it we're like okay
turn left here but then they just know everything they know where to go it's fun i know yeah that's
on the bucket list to go do like a true non-work trip yeah kind of foodie trip you know yeah it's
on there it's it's up there for sure well back to your career i feel like you did you just hit
your 10th number one yeah right yeah well we just celebrated um we did a i feel like i'm i told my
team i'm like it's too early to do a greatest hit
thing so we came up with the name that's just cool that you have the option yeah i just feel
like i've got so much more in the tank no for sure but i guess it feels like a retirement tour
someone asked me if i would like you know because a lot of reality tv people will do like a tell-all
or like a autobiography of some kind and someone asked me and that was kind of my response i'm like
i feel like we're not done yet yeah i don't know i hope i hope this isn't it um yeah but but a
greatest hit is different than the reality tv star talking about the drama they had but like
that's still an incredible accomplishment yeah it was a compilation it's at this stage of your
career yeah for sure it's like how do we package what we've done so far um together because i think
fans and i know as a music fan i forget you go to a concert and it's like oh that one yeah so we're
like hey let's just put a project together of call it we call it set list staples kind of the songs
we have to play when we come to town on tour and so we did that um just kind of as a reminder we
hadn't put any new music out since i've seen you guys last couple half years ago so we figured
that'd be a good way to do it and we did that and we did that and we did that and we did that
kick off this fall and then we have of course a whole new album coming um at the end of october
yeah and any like surprises on this new album what can you tease about it any collabs yeah
we've got a great collab um with ashley can we say that yeah with ashley cook it's um it's called
how you been and you know it's scary putting music out and we just released our first teaser of that
and socials kind of popped off on it which is a cool feeling because that doesn't happen
often so it's like oh what's this going to turn into we'll see
yeah um but you know it's it's fun to have ashley on a song we've been
friends for a long time and it just fit her perfectly um her voice perfectly and and
it's just a fun tune so it's it's great to make friends you know music with real life friends
you've seen the evolution obviously like with how the internet has really been such a big part of
launching an album or a song i'm assuming when you got your start it wasn't like it is not at all man
it's crazy how it's evolved is it is that exciting for you nerve-wracking like does it feel like you
have more or less control in how you market your music with the internet being such a key role
it's kind of both in a way you know because we're just hoping and we've always hoped that
people connect to a song but now we can kind of see real life timing of you know releases and
then trends like um you know we're seeing songs from two three albums ago kind of pop off on a
trend amongst you know myself and artist friends and it's like what i didn't care about that song
when we were like we're behind it but now you know for whatever reason it comes back around so
for me it's like hey let's keep making the best music we can put it out there and when that
happens
is that like when you guys are like whether you're on tour or maybe you're collaborating with other
artists do you take note of that and say we should do like we should we should add that to the list
where we didn't do it before or you just kind of is it just a nostalgic oh that's cool or you
or you is you and your team trying to be like capitalizing on an older song having another
moment yeah no we definitely will yeah if it starts trending and people start using it in
their daily lives then we'll get it back in the set list and bring it back you know to the top
of mind because right now i mean it can be like you know it can be like you know it can be like
i mean look at iris goo goo dolls like and and then um coming out of my cage the killers
oh those two songs this summer just like and beauty and a beat by bieber for whatever reason
those three this past summer okay yeah and it's like okay that is fascinating because like you
never well i was gonna ask you what was cooler for you hearing your song on the radio for the
first time early in your career or one of your songs going super viral on tiktok what what felt
like a bigger moment um definitely early on in the career okay yeah because that's what i grew up on
you know when i first started doing music we didn't have streaming really yeah i remember going
to meetings at like you know of course youtube i was kind of familiar with but it's like what's
spotify you know what's what's what's all these streaming it's like how do you use that then you
start kind of using it but it didn't really take off for a few years um so i mean only doing this
for 11 years to go what is streaming now to where we're at with 10 years ago and i'm like i don't
know tiktok being a huge driver of consumption and discovery um really you know social media
in general but um it has evolved and changed and and i learn i'm learning a lot from younger
artists and up-and-coming writers and artists of you know that are so good at socials and and
they have to kind of break there now um in a way before you know the nashville music machine takes
notice yeah so it's cool to be learning from and i don't know if that's ever been the case you know
at least in nashville i can't remember you know when i was i can't remember an older artist
looking down at what i was doing and like oh i need to do that yeah but now for me um i'm learning
from young artists of like that's a cool idea maybe i should do that at some point when i'm out
at the farm or you know whatever yeah to get my music out there maybe perform it in a different
medium who are some of those younger artists or up-and-coming artists that you're kind of looking
at being like wow you're like really good yeah so i try not to be a doom scroller and i'll get
like kind of caught in the middle of it but i'm learning a lot from younger artists and i'm learning
the trap and go okay five more swipes yeah and uh do you actually have that where oh yeah like
five that's pretty good for you it's like all right five four you know but i have to do that
you know because you just get stuck and fired up on um late at night but no i came across a girl a
couple weeks ago her name's jordan cobb and she's just i don't know she's in our house or apartment
whatever it is kind of just doing it everywhere but just her and acoustic covering songs wow i
think the first time i came across was an old florida georgia lion song she was covering and
all the swipes whatever's going on with jordan caught my attention and um it's so fun for me
because i'm like well she inspired me to stop and listen and want to okay i looked at a few videos
i'm a fan i think this girl's got it and then hit her a message you know it's fun i don't know she's
seen it i haven't looked but um so yeah that's you know that's just an example of like i haven't sat
around the house and played into my phone at one of my songs because i'm not used to doing that
duh i probably should start
wow yeah that is cool that makes a lot of sense and the new album is called a clean slate it's
called clean slate and that's one of the songs on the album it wasn't like this you know concept
at all but it is for me um it was a no-brainer title to to go with just because of what we've
talked about thinking i had it figured out and then here's a whole new puzzle to to go with
thank you universe and um i just i do feel like it's a kind of a new a new page in a new chapter
and and let's go from here yeah i think about that a lot of times i think about it a lot of times i
think about it a lot as i get older like i'm you know we're roughly the same age i'm a little older
but like how many times i've had to reinvent myself and it's a good feeling to know that you
can do that right because i mean sometimes as we get older like i remember like graduating from
college and getting my first job and being like i guess this is it you know i guess this is the rest
of my life and i think you don't realize um that you you know i think a lot of people don't realize
they can reinvent themselves you know without a doubt life happens yeah unexpected things good
and you don't have to yeah right uh but pivoting is like it's it's been a really like helpful
thing in my life to have a clean slate to to to try things new without a doubt yeah i i think this
past couple years you know the motion of my friend circle a lot of my friends are doing the same you
know it's like where do we want to move i've got a close buddy that he's like man i if we don't do
it now he just got married he's like if we don't make the move now will we ever will we regret it
if we don't we can always come back and and it makes it gets me thinking like well i've always
been in nashville chasing the same thing putting everything aside but focusing on music and trying
to be the best i can at that and them making that decision then gets me in my head going
well would i ever want to try somewhere else's home base you know um would you i haven't answered
that question yet i don't know like a part-time place well you know i'm in a part-time place
200 days a year you know yeah it's tough when i'm touring so it's kind of i would have to be
home for a while i think like there was a silver lining to it
to not getting to tour in 2020 and 2021 yeah a lot of them now that i look back and it was it was
tough for a lot of people um but i actually got to be home for the first time in you know 10 years
and uh that showed me a lot and i think i think to make a decision on what i want a part-time
place somewhere else i'd need to be in nashville for long enough to watch the grass grow for a
week that is all right are you i know you're on the road a lot but
do you really enjoy being at home or do you get restless are you like are you a homebody even
though you don't get that opportunity to be one i enjoy being at home um my assistant laughs at me
because if i'm home for a day i'll be like all right where are we going tonight you know and
i just get you know because i'm used to being on the go but i do i notice a difference when i'm
home for a couple days um get to fold some laundry you know get to get to work on the farm a little
bit whatever it is there's a reset that happens i think i can get used to the the being worn down
and um but when i'm home for a couple days i've realized i'm like oh there's a personality in here
again you know it's not just like try to survive and put on the best show every night you know you
can you can start making plans with friends and be a little more intentional is there a world in
which maybe we'd have our own bar in broadway i don't know on broadway it feels a little
oversaturated right now i do like to keep them in business i still love going down there bopping
around um my band guys still go and perform down there during the weekdays when we're not touring
which is kind of a no-brainer because it's like why practice at the house when you can go to
broadway and make some money yeah have they mentioned like does it feel the same as it
always has the pay is way better you know i used to play down there's where like my early years
got my start and we would get 35 for four hours a man in the band so um and no no drinks right so
if you had a drink they take it out of your 35 so you would you often like leave owing them money
well i would usually i would usually give my money to the band guys just to give them a little
better night so they'd come back the following week with me when you like when you arrive in
nashville at the airport and you see the musicians playing at the bars or you're on broadway out and
about like do you ever have a moment just like you know do you ever like do you ever go up to
someone or just like give a pep talk usually not a pep talk because they're great usually just a
big fat tip okay yeah that's that one of my rules if somebody's playing music i'm tipping because i
used to be that you know i used to be on stage hoping somebody would so and so when uh your farm
is it like a working farm it is yeah yeah it's it's it's mainly wreck but but we do have beef
cows and um my neighbors started doing a like a farmer's market right there at at our farm like
between our farms and um so we're selling what we grow that's cute right there and it's it's
really kind of popped off um you know i think i think the info is getting out there where it's
starting to trend a little bit more um less industrial and more local farmer and uh
and we just we have a great little thing going right now and you have a couple buddies where
every year you're tuning a new like you're checking out a new country is that something
you guys do yeah that's right yeah and we just settled actually i was just emailing back and
forth yesterday about it um one of my buddies is really good he's like way deep in the ai assistant
world i'm not i'm kind of just like the you know google search kind of yeah i got right now
what's the difference between sea salt and kosher salt right exactly um we decided on south korea
this coming year.
He just plugged into his system and it gave us like, well,
on your past travels which we've had i don't know nine or ten countries before this one y'all like
doing these things so i matched up all this you've ate at all these restaurants in the past so i've
matched up you know this cuisine based on what you like and you know michelin star and whatever
and we're gonna do uh an eight-day run over there and it's it's gonna be pretty exciting
there's gonna be a lot of ice hiking and ice climbing which is wild never done that in south
korea and south korea yeah my brother lived there for a couple years yeah he taught english i i can't
wait has there been a favorite country oh man that's tough everything's so unique um one of
the coolest experiences was a helicopter tour around south new zealand that was just mind-blowing
i mean just the the scale of the landscape there uh i mean we were looking at waterfalls
and it looked small this is how big the faces of the mountains
were
and we were right up next to it it's like oh that's that waterfall right there's taller than
the tallest building in nashville it was like an ant on the side of this face and uh yeah it was
just you know as you're flying by these things it just it just it makes you feel probably how we
should feel which is very small yeah is there a country or a place where you were most surprised
where you were recognized yeah uh most surprise would would have been in uh the philippines had
some country music okay but what we were on an island
we had a you know plane and then ferry to it and there i was like is that old dominion playing
and uh and it was one of the beach bars was ripping old dominion cool and um i was like
all right we got to get a drink here and then and then uh did you text them and be like hey
and uh that's the beautiful thing about streaming now you know country music's gone global but
anyways we sat there and had some drinks and uh i guess some you know more country music fans and
heard it and came over and then recognized me we interviewed carly pierce a while back and it's so
funny because she was saying i guess she was playing somewhere out of the country and she
was like they sing every single word to your song and then she's like and then in between you like
start talking to them and like talking about music and you can see the confusion on their face
we're like they don't speak any english but they know every word every song that you put out have
you kind of felt that too without a doubt yeah i mean we we got to do a collab with with an artist
down in brazil um sorakaba
fernando and sorakaba is the is the act name is two two gentlemen and um they remade small town
boy in portuguese and this trip was at i can't wait to go back we became great friends what we
landed and i didn't know what i was getting into the first i was going to come out and sing that
song with them my verse in english um and then do some cover songs with them and the first show we
came out to was 80 000 people at this rodeo and i'm like where am i i've been in brazil for six
hours in my life and i'm on this stage and these guys are crushing it and um there's no crazy laws
down there as far as rules go on stage or off stage like we have in the states where we have
to have like our pyro has to be fire marshaled and all this stuff so they can kind of just do
whatever effects wise kind of winging it yeah and these guys roll out of course you know barbecue
down there is huge and so they roll out this you know most people roll out a piano and they roll
out this smoker but in the smoker is a piano so this guy is playing a piano and they're playing a
piano while he's smoking meat and then sorakaba grabs a couple steaks off of this smoker while
fernando's playing a like piano solo thing starts cutting them up and then these drones come in y'all
with like clips in the little nacho trays and sorakaba cuts up some steak sets it in the tray
on the drone and the drones have cameras on them and with live feed to the screens and they fly
these steaks to the crowd and the crowd members start grabbing steak from these drones night one
and i'm just like what is going on did they give you heads up that this is gonna happen or in real
time are you like wait yeah it's like how do you follow this so it was so cool such a great
experience i love brazil um we got to do a lot of fun shows there we did three shows three nights
in a row with them and they did a bunch of press around it can't wait are you ever because you're
a licensed pilot right yeah are you ever flying like where are you are you flying just like for
fun are you flying on trips are you flying no i'm going on trips i got a big trip coming this
in the next week i'm just
i love the outdoors so it's hunting season right now and blake shelton's invited me to come out to
to his spot in oklahoma oh what's it like to hunt with blank shelton out of control
he's he's got some fun stuff going on um he's got a great big plot of land and um yeah it's just so
fun to be out with him but i'm gonna fly over there and hunt with him for a couple days you'll
fly i'll fly over there yeah where's the furthest you've flown in your plane key west okay yeah i
love the furthest you've flown in your plane okay yeah i'll fly over there yeah i'll fly over there
which is beautiful um and and land it in key west i love key west that's got to be a good like uh
to have under your sleeve like dating wise like oh we can just pop over for dinner and like new
orleans if we want for sure yeah you nailed it new orleans is a great great little spot to go get it
um charleston's great have you ever flown someone on a date oh yeah that's awesome absolutely it's
much better than a jet ski if you watch married at first it's gonna be fun too uh well no there's
this guy we watched married at first i don't know if you saw it but there was this guy who like
his whole thing is like i got a jet ski oh that's great and like it would be like on his dating bio
it was like his whole personality um that says a lot it does but a plane is having your own plane
is much cooler much cooler you were talking earlier just obviously when just your fascination
was like just summer house i've always been fascinated because i've been obviously in the
reality tv space for a long time but i've seen it evolve right and you're seeing like lindsey for
the first she was just like another reality tv star in bravo but now like she is a known you know
person entity a real celebrity in a sense and like the housewives have leveled up and do you
noticing your music community like do you feel like that recognition to the point where you know
what i'm saying like you know like where it's valued a little bit more like before it used to
be like an obscure country artist on the bachelor yeah but now like these shows are they're they're
the talk of the zeitgeist of pop culture like you said and like to be known do you see other other of
your peers like wanting to do work with other reality tv stars because they see the value and
in the in the in the very dedicated fan base without a doubt yeah i think you nailed it and
and what really made me recognize it is when lindsey went out to uh bravo con i believe it's
called in vegas yeah i didn't even realize that was a thing until we became friends and and she
was walking me through uh what that week looks like and and you know the panels they do and then
all the hangs and the the signings and it's like wow
i mean super rabid dedicated fan bases and and once again like my example of of my my buddy's
texting me like everybody in the kitchen's talking about it um it's just kind of how i think tv
consumption has evolved right and and i don't know i think probably the same as kind of what i think
country music and live music in general is going to become more and more important for us
moving forward that human connection you know that's the thing that's the thing that's the thing
you know that we miss and and the way you know the fast-paced life is going right now i think that
probably has a lot of the same um tendencies that that reality does you know where people can come
home and they they're at home but they actually can live a little bit vicariously through some
other other social circles right would we ever see you on a show like traders what's traders
so it's a it's a reality tv show but it's a competition show it's like um have you ever
played the game um mafia with your friends it's like a game of whodunit you figure out who the
bad guys are uh and they cast a often a lot of like reality tv stars it's like celebrity traders
they have a they have a civilian one now okay um it's a lot of reality tv stars but they have
they've been leveling up they'll get musicians i think they have kristin chenoweth this season
comedians they've had uh people from parliament on and stuff like that and it's a it's a fun show but
it's it is allowed celebrities like yourself to kind of cross over a little bit and and and because
it's like the shows it's one of the biggest shows on tv uh and it's just a fun game like you're
basically figuring out who the the traders are the traders are the ones who kill people and it's a
game of like we could be we could all be in the castle yeah and you could be the trader but you're
pretending to be the faithful and like you know there's alliances and stuff like that i love it
yeah it's a fun show i think i would enjoy something like that we could approach
um every now and again for different reality opportunities and you ever been approached
for dancing with the stars i can't remember if probably i would say i don't think i would do it
no but that is one of my goals this year actually i was i was trying to plan i was looking at my
calendar last night no kidding because one of my goals this year was to to take dance lessons
and like get legit yeah decent at it so whenever i'm in a situation like
um i was down in our trip this past year to a new country was argentina
and you know when i got there i'm like dang i wish i knew a little bit of something about it
and could actually get out here and move with these girls um so i set that goal for this year
i haven't i haven't done it yet but we still got some of the year left you'll learn on dancing with
the stars yeah no i know i i just i've been stuck that's one of the downfalls of being on stage um
right out of high school up until this part of my life i've never i mean even my interactions
in bars has been limited because you know if i was going out i was usually performing and i'm on
stage and i have the crutch of guitar and microphone and i don't i don't have you know the
i wasn't on the dance floors
moving around with everybody else usually. And, um, so yeah, that is that I was looking at my
calendar last night. Like I need to go to Texas. That's like a dream of mine. Maybe I can find the
right person to take with me. Um, but just take some lessons and, uh, spend a few, few days down
there, maybe a week and, and bounce around to the dance halls and get good. You know, I want to
learn how to line dance. Line dance. Yeah. Yeah. That's fun. I remember doing like taking it in
like gym class. We did, there was like a dancing, I don't know, you know, they, they, you know,
one, one week you're doing basketball and I was dancing and we learned how to line dance. It
gives you a lot of fun, but I don't like you when you see like movie clips and they're at a lot,
like a line dancing bar and they're like, everyone knows what they're doing. That looks like a ton
of fun. We shot a video with two friends for our song, uh, save a little love. And we did a line
dance to it. It's like my first legit line dance lesson. And one, I had to pull off and not look
like an idiot doing, um, what a workout. It's like, all right, that's like free cardio. Yeah.
That, that we had like a line dancing class in high school and we learned how to line dance.
And then we didn't have anything like that. And then there was a lot of like bars that did like
line dancing, you know, Saturday line dancing. It's a culture. It's a whole thing. It's fun.
You mentioned AI. Obviously there's a lot of feelings and thoughts about AI in general in
the world, but specifically from an artist standpoint, music, is that something, how do
you and your peers and musicians today feel about it? And like, how do you feel about it? And like,
or is that something you're trying out? Is it just something that it's like, I don't want to go
there? How just, and how do you feel like as an artist, because there's a lot of debate about,
you know, music AI can make music as an artist. Yeah. Does it make you nervous? Like what are
your just general thoughts about that space? Doesn't make me nervous at all. Okay. It is a
mixed bag of feelings right now because there's so many, there's so many offshoots of the creative
community in Nashville. And, you know, used to, when we first started, we were writing songs,
guitars, and then after a month of writing, you know, we would pick, Hey, these are my three or
four favorite songs. Then we'd book a studio to go demo the songs. So you had, you know,
audio engineers in the booth with us. Then you had your, all your band members in the studio and
that was a paycheck for them. That's gone. Yeah. You know, because I can just right now play a
song on guitar, plug it into whatever AI program and it'll pump out however many times I hit redo,
different versions of that song. However we want to produce, you know? So there's that, you know,
it's, it's really kind of cut down on, on the industry in that way. But at the same time it's
a tool, you know, it's not, it's here and it's not anywhere close to as good as we are yet. I
don't know if we're done with just guitar, vocal, and then AI made the whatever cheesy demo,
but you listen back and it's like, that's so bad. It still hasn't figured it out. I still like you,
AI don't bash, you know, they're probably like plug me in as he's a hater, but it hasn't figured
it out yet, you know? But I, you know, I, I do, I love that it gives so many more people access
that don't have, you know, the opportunity to go to a studio.
Um, to make music.
Yeah. I feel like it's helpful for like independent artists.
Yeah. Without a doubt. At the end of the day, we're all going to gravitate towards
what songs we like the most. Um, and I think it's going to allow a lot more people to make music
that haven't had the opportunity.
Well, speaking of songs you like the most, uh, easy to love your new single. Uh, you talk about
just like being alone a little bit and there's a vulnerability there. Last time we had you on
the show, you were talking about, you know, your dating life and how, you know, it'll happen
when it's happened, but you were kind of looking at being a little bit more intentional about that.
Like, was that kind of rooted that, that, that mindset rooted in the creation of the song?
Can you just share a little bit more about what writing that song meant to you and, and, you know?
For sure. Yeah. I wanted to keep it loosely based on my story and it kind of, I kind of just ended
up drawn from several different characters that maybe I've come across through the years. Um,
and, and made it all this one guy's story. But for me, it was, you know, thinking that I had it
like, okay, this year we're just going to hunker down and do these tour dates. And then I'm really
going to focus on my personal life and boom, the Vegas DJ set happened in October of 24. I wrote
easy to love in March of 25 when we had, you know, we were just doing the Vegas thing in Miami. And
it was like this whole new, Oh, I can't, I don't even have the time to think about going on a date
right now. I've got to figure this out. This is going so fast. And I just wrote that of like,
man, this is just a whole new wave in life that I didn't see coming. Wasn't trying to make it
happen. Just rolling with the punches and, and riding that wave. So that's, that's kind of where
that lyric was inspired from. And, uh, and I know I'm not easy to love. Like, I think we all learn
from our relationships that, that don't work and then do work and then don't work. And, um, you
know, I, I know kind of my shortcomings, you know, just from past relationships. And I think as I
move into the next, hopefully serious relationship at some point, um, I can remember those lessons
and be a better version of me. Yeah. It's tough to do.
Yeah. But as we get older, there's, um, I remember when I started dating Natalie,
there was like this, there's that balance of being comfortable with who you are,
where it's just like, I'm just, I'm just never going to be good at this, you know? Yeah. And
I'm just going to give you the heads up that I'll try my best, but don't expect much.
Yeah. Give me some grace. Yeah. But this is all the other side of like, you know,
where's any grace? Oh, there's gotta be one closing cabinets, putting things away.
Are you a little messy? Yeah. I'm a little messy.
I started, um, protesting. He like every night before bed, he like takes his clothes off right
beside the bed to get in. And so I just was like, I'm going to see how long, if I don't pick this
up, how long will it grow? How big will it get? And it is massive and it's still growing as of
today. I picked it up this morning. Do you do laundry? No, no, no. I do a lot of other stuff.
We split up, we split it, you know, we share the responsibilities of the household, so to speak,
but laundry is definitely not my thing. Did you guys,
have a sit down of like, Hey, this is what I'm doing. This is what you're doing.
We got really lucky that it kind of, it really worked out. There's a lot of things that we
do together and share the responsibility. Yeah. Um, I put the steak knives in the pots and pans
and the dishwasher and he was like, they don't go there. And I was like, well, then you wash
the kitchen. She does the laundry. Yeah. I don't touch the laundry. Yeah. I'm allergic to that.
And so she, and she likes it and I don't mind cleaning the kitchen. So those are like our big
dividers. Yeah. Everything else, you know, we,
we kind of share. Yeah. That's awesome. I'll do like, you know, I'll mow the lawn. I'll do,
you know, it's the one macho thing. Yeah. The dude thing. There's something,
there's something very rewarding about. I love mowing a lawn. Yeah. Me too. You know,
I mowed lawns for a living for a few years and for whatever reason got my fill, you know, but,
but I, I found that I was missing until I got my farm. I found I was missing like that outdoor
manly concrete. I did that, you know, check out just mow. So, uh, so now I've got it back,
you know, I'm always having,
I'm always having to do something out there maintenance wise. So it's kind of bad. It's
important, you know? Yeah. It's important to have some, a to-do list, I think as, as humans and
whatever it may be, you know, but you got to have your thing and your task where
it feels like, you know, all right, we completed that day. I deserve this
brownie, whatever, you know, ice cream. How do you reward yourself?
I started getting into Madden video games. Okay. I used to play like years ago, like 20 some years
ago.
And my buddies and like, uh, a very committed league, um, on video Madden. Yeah. There's like
32 players. Everyone has a team. We make trades. We're in our off season now. The Superbowl season
one is tonight. You know, you have to stream your game. We make trades. We play a game every,
every two days. It's like my, it's my nerd out. I get really nerdy with the guy, you know,
we talk shit, you know, it's like my one headset and everything, uh, that you can talk through the,
okay. Well, it's funny because like you can talk to the controller, but it sounds shitty.
And so the guys in my, my league are like, they want me to buy a headset. I'm like, guys,
I can't have a headset. I'm like my wife packages. Like she, are you, are you on the sideline
supporting? No, you're not watching. She's clowning them. Yeah. It's an appropriate level
of clowning, but it allows, it allows me like that. It honestly is my, like, I'm surrounded
by women, which I love, you know, I got my wife, I got my daughters, I got my mother,
and I hear a lot, you know, like, uh, you know, a lot of, a lot of ladies, a lot of
female energy. So he does get his like, it is my like male bonding time, which I think
it's, you know, I need once in a while. I love that. I mean, I obviously know about
fantasy leagues and football. I've never, never heard about legit video game Madden
leagues. Yeah. It's all right. It's fun. It's the fake, like fantasy football is already
fake enough, but it's like extra fake. So how many hours a week do you think you're,
um, coaching? We can call it coaching, right?
He's coaching quarterbacking. We refer to ourself as coach. We're like my, the coach
of the, I'm the Packers is me. You have to put your Packers. You have to put your name.
You have to talk. There's like commercial for Madden that just came, I guess the new
season or whatever Vince Vaughn Vince Vaughn. And they really articulate. He's it's, it's
a spoof on like being the GM of your team. And it's like the in Vince Vaughn was taking
it very serious. And that is literally the league I'm in. Right. That's so, so how do
How did you land Packers, you wanted the Packers?
packer fan okay um and i actually had to pay someone some money to get the packers to get
the packers okay i got it because i was the last person a bit of a not even a draft a bit of team
ownership then yeah yeah i am i'm an owner he's an owner of the packers
yeah yeah we have a we have a lake house that's uh within driving distance to the lambo so we try
to go at least once uh once a year to a game me and my band guys try to go to one game a year
um my guitar player has been with me for 13 14 years grew up in cumberland wisconsin okay and uh

episode but we appreciate you appreciate all our guests dustin lynch as always we'll see you uh on
monday bye-bye wow what a fun interview with dustin excited to see what's next in his career
um also do y'all remember when he used to date lindsay hubbard from summer house i do i remember
last season i only knew because it was like on last season of in the city right right they went
on a date it went on a little date and it was filmed i didn't even realize i was him until
we interviewed him and i was like whoa this is crazy that's crazy well speaking of uh summer
house slash in the city sierra miller devastated i'm crushed what did we do guys america how did
we drop the ball america listen to me right now listen to mary you know mary are you kidding me
sierra miller sierra miller shaking her little booty she was literally giving it her all the
improvements that she made what else do we want from dancing with the stars besides to see a
beautiful woman who has been scorned by a disgusting man then perform her darndest and
you guys let her go which are you kidding me it was crazy last night was one or yes last night
last night was her one of her best performances she was incredible yeah best scores when we talk
about improvement i don't know what you're talking about i don't know what you're talking about i don't
like like yeah you could actually see her like opening up a little bit more and i'm gonna miss
her outfits her outfits every fucking time yo like she always she does not play around i could i i'm
like actively mad about it i have not been like this is i love a monoculture moment but then i am
reminded of why we can't have nice things well and and i've been the biggest supporter like like
fan of guillermo i love him i'm glad he's here i'm glad he's here i'm glad he's here i'm glad he's
made another week but like let's be for real over sierra like my man's out there kind of just
walking around the stage and his partner is doing all the tricks he's gonna hop on the dance floor
like give her a break then you've got whitney's hair flying legs flying arms flying and then
garima's just like hey which like charming but not what we're here for but like it's time for
it's time for you know yeah him to go i'm really shocked i will i think the other thing about
so hard is like one couple's doing a fox trot one's doing modern uh can what is it called um
when they make it up the not interpretive interpret yeah i'm not sure the terms yeah
but i'm like anything about to go from like a fox trot to a salsa to like a contemporary that's what
it is um it feels kind of unfair because i feel like sierra's dance compared to a fox trot or um
whatever mora was doing like you know it's so different it's hard to like get the same essence
where you're so i'm so wowed by some of these like classic ballroom dances and then you see
something like that which is like so fun and cute but you're like oh well it doesn't have the same
technicality technicality i definitely find myself enjoying the dances the most of whoever has like
the song i like the most honestly that's true too i'm like they're having so much fun and then i'm
realizing like it's probably just me yeah i actually don't know like if they're doing a good
job or not yeah and that's kind of where i'm like i feel like the grading is on a curve even just
because i'm like again they're to mark's point with mora there's some people who just have natural
talent that hasn't been woken up until they started this and it's just like wow you're
already starting eons above somebody who has two left feet you know so i'm like the first nine of
the season for them insane how does scoring work how does amber glenn get a seven the bend that
amber glenn did that was actually crazy that was crazy matter of fact you want to talk about people
breaking their backs
connor wood connor longwood matter of fact my boy did his big one that was body rolls he let the
slinky loose he i didn't know he had that in him no that was incredible that was incredible yeah
that was good for one second let's hear it okay amber you deserve so much better and if and if i
were in that voting booth tens all around i just want if you're listening i just want you to know
that i think you're perfect
i have a conspiracy theory about voting and the scale this is completely false i'm making it up so
nobody take this at true value i have a feeling that the judges are in on some element of like
how votes are trending weekly and i think that their scores are catered to what that looks like
so amber i fear not fear i feel that she probably has a strong fan base and she's also got a lot of
previous dance skills so i think that they feel comfortable scoring her a little bit lower because
they're like she has room to grow because one we know she's got longevity her fans are coming
through hopefully and two the gays are yeah the gays are voting yeah and two when you think about
like the trajectory i'm like if they give if they give her a nine now i know in three weeks like
what are they gonna give her you know what i mean you can't go past the 10 i guess so i think that's
why where i'm like the ceiling is so high for her i just don't understand the rules here i low-key
feel that with with ezra too like you can kind of give him a 10 for that performance last night
when he bounced on one leg the leg that obviously is prosthetic like that's a 10 out of 10 in and of
itself but like you gotta score it on a curve i guess because we gotta see what he's gonna do
from week to week because we know that he's gonna make it far yeah and he's so nasty like he's so
good right can we talk about connor wood a little bit more y'all i'm not over that when she
looked at riley when she was on the ground grabbed about a chin and lifted her up i'm like look at my
leading he went so crazy it was hot and then at the end like i know dancing is very vulnerable and
like i don't know how i would feel if i was watching my partner be that intimate with somebody
because like i get like you gotta do what you gotta do but like that shit looks so real and
like the chemistry sometimes is palpable whatever the hell going on between him and riley that might
that might be real i don't know they both have partners right significant others is connor dating
anyone although you asked him you said what's one word to describe your dating life and he said
better than before
better than before so so maybe he was hinting at something yeah he might have someone i will say
though i'm like i for us a partner watching i'm like it would be interesting just because i'm like
there's certain moments where you're just like hey bodies are moving hands gotta end up somewhere
but you're like that's a little close like you know what i mean or like the after yeah when
they're getting their scores tight quarters pasha is dating one of the other stars married to danielle
right and he openly admitted that like it can be hard to watch sometimes i think that was clickbait
though i i think i might have clicked into the bait and i'm pretty sure he was saying it's hard
to watch i could be wrong i think he was saying it's hard to watch because he's um like doing his
own thing so he's like i want to go support her and cheer her on but like you also got to be in
your own zone so it's hard to watch her i think it's more of like their competitors versus maybe
it's that yeah but um oh my bad riley is apparently in a relationship okay riley's
yeah no but i saw that too jimmy i'm happy for you but i know i ship y'all man that's what's so
fun about dancing with the stars is when you can get a little showmans but most of the pros are
like coupled up married with each other with each other a lot of them yeah because jenna's married
to val um who's dancing with harry shum jr and i'm absolutely upset anytime i see that man dance
i know the quality star quality and i was also a big fan of glee so what's up mike chang oh my god
amber riley singing yeah gleeks everywhere we ride yeah that was cool then i think tyler did a
good job too for a foxtrot oh and he was so emotional oh my gosh you guys i just like want
to root for i don't even know tyler that well but i just feel like he really is a good human
you know what i mean yeah like he's one of those people that good things have happened to him but
also he's had a lot of hardships that you know he doesn't harp on you know he's had a lot of hardships
but um it's like you just want to see good things happen to people like that and him and tater so
cute so cute and i freaking love tate i see a lot of my friends
tyler like like you know as a football player like it it's hard to be like loose and like free
with your body like that i see him like committing and trying and he deserves his flowers just for
that in and of itself has there ever been a like um a big guy that won i'm sure there's like i'm
sure there's athletes nba player from chicago six foot four was he was he like lean though
yeah he was more so built like me to be fair i was gonna say i feel like in like look at all
the pros the guys that are pros they're quite short and they are like kind of lean
with their build i feel like that's that that's that dancer body type yeah you gotta be wiry
have to do the like footwork thing like depending on your position like like it's interesting
because tyler is actually shorter than is smaller probably like than me and iman but like the
football player build like he's got broad shoulders and like his hands are like mitts right whereas
like
me and iman like as guards kind of like slithery you know more conducive to dancing yeah so you
want to sign up you want to be on dancing with the stars jimmy oh that would be a dream come true my
mama would cry of all the things i've ever done in my life if i ever got on dancing with the stars
that would be probably the only time my mama would like admit that like i'm doing something right
oh i'm rooting for that make that happen who else do we have oh um tatiana slade amazing fun
i like the bangs i like i like the the fit she had on too that was and yawn with his ladder
that was a little nod to the swifty yeah it's also kind of interesting seeing that julia styles is
kind of having a tough time i was gonna say how do we feel about julia styles yeah i thought she did
a great job but i was like it's interesting somebody who's like an actor who's probably
really hard on herself as well that i'm just like her being like okay we can get we can do this
there's no can't in ballroom where i'm just like oh you know or i'm just like a save the last dance
you know so i was like this is already a comeuppance it's in her post game and her like
her post game what do you call it not post game interview keep calling it the post game it's fun
i think i like it and her post game the whatever the press conference afterwards whatever you call
it yeah like she uh was very short and you could like tell like she wasn't like super like
not proud but like yeah enthusiastic about yeah she was like yay and i was wondering i was like
i feel like she signed up for this because like she doesn't need any more like fame or like
accolades or anything you know what i mean i feel like she was just like i want to see if i could do
this and like she really just wants to see yeah how good she can be and she knows that there's
more left that she's more capable of doing you know i also find it really interesting the difference
in energy like from fans and stuff between like her and jenna dewan okay because it's like they're
both two actors that were in these dance movies and for some reason jenna dewan is getting like
all of that energy of like the step up blah blah blah blah blah
and julia styles is kind of like i wonder if it's just because like the fan base has gotten younger
of dancing with the stars so they know step up and not save the last dance which is makes the
millennial gen z divide divide i think there's something also like julia styles isn't into like
the you know like go out and vote for me like doing a bunch of like marketing or promo on her
behalf to like get the vote she's literally just like i want to see how good i can be at this
dancing thing you know i feel like she's less she cares less about like the social interaction maybe
ten things i hate about you is one of the best movies ever made so that's my girl that's my girl
that's my movie have you made anybody cry today no but it's only 4 p.m i'm voting for i have a
feeling it's gonna be mora i just i do too i'm really thinking she's gonna win it i think she
is as we're winning it yeah i think it's hard i think it's gonna be between the two of them
and maybe ezra will take it it just we'll see but i'm just like mora's consistency i think
also mark ballas a testament to being his partner i mean look at
whitney last season i'm just like he that's that's dance is his entire being his mother
has him like you know what i mean that i'm just like i just have a feeling that this is going to
be his year for the i know it's just i really am shocked by um not hearing amber glutton's name
come out of any of your mouths um but listen i honestly think the competition also just needs
to start you know people need to start going home and then when it gets down to like the top five
top four which amber will absolutely be in i think that's where it's like the pickup
and the excitement for her is going to come in but i think right now she's probably a more niche
in the sense of like her fan base and for people who know her but like the more that like people
get to see her story and see her dance the more people are gonna like oh shit amber glenn household
let's talk about it you know so give her give her some time but i mean that bed was insane like
keep it up lady i will yeah yeah she was so beautiful graceful powerful and honestly hot
truly her leg muscle is insane i know um speaking of incredible women let's hear it housewives
oh oh we made it to bluestone manor oh wait is that right ultimate girl strip ultimate girl
strip let's go ultimate girl strip let's go ultimate girl strip okay sounds like luann's
not a good what storyteller no she is she's not a good listener because she's a storyteller you
know what i wonder to be a good storyteller does that mean that you have to be a bad storyteller
bad listener no it's usually the opposite well usually with storytelling right it's like people
tend to embellish right and when they're really good at storytelling it's like you know how to
keep somebody captivated right i'm a great listener not the best storyteller i stumble over my words
so that's where i'm thinking that i'm like maybe luann where it's like i don't do the reactive
listening she doesn't like wait for a response she's just like hey i'm gonna tell you a whole
thing now she has an entire cabaret about it so i don't know i just kind of think like maybe
sometimes a lot of the times where i have a lot of good storytellers in my life
i'm like i'm not the best listeners well i beg to differ on your behalf i think you're a great
listener and i think you're an amazing storyteller i'm constantly impressed with how you can speak
to your narrative and your thoughts on the podcast so don't sell yourself short yeah thank you um
but yeah i think that was a beautiful moment yeah thanks just truly um household bonding
yeah um i almost made a really gross joke i don't know why i'm sorry i almost said something
i was just gonna be like household bondage it's like a i don't know but like i we'll talk after
the show yeah we'll talk on plus subscribe to plus
um 170 plus housewives in a room a dream or a nightmare wow dream that's a dream
me and 170 housewives in one room
in one room and andy andy irish like irish goodbyeing because could you imagine oh my god
he couldn't get a second alone he would be like my he would be like my pastor father in a public's
in florida he could not leave that's amazing i didn't know there was 170 housewives in general
like that's a lot i don't know if that's the exact number i think that's what was expected
at bluestone manor i know it's under 200 and i don't know if that also includes like london
international so i don't know but yeah i think that's a good number i think that's a good number
he said during his speech that 200 under 200 housewives wow yeah at dorinda's home yeah
and the rhode island housewives unhinged it's beautiful that's what i and i think that's what
i love about baby franchises is like seeing these people be so unfiltered so unaware and they haven't
even and at this point haven't shot the reunion rhode island hadn't aired yet so they haven't
seen themselves that's literally just who they are out of function out of function
dorinda being like um you guys need to cut this shit out you can take it out to the sidewalk but
we're here to celebrate 20 years of housewives she's like y'all are like haven't even scratched
the surface she's when um when rula is talking about like her like man cheating on her and stuff
and then they're all just like oh yeah that happened to me they're like yeah par for the course
gosh to be a housewife is such again talking about the influencer stuff earlier i'm like it's such a
trade-in like i know that i'm not going to be a housewife but i'm going to be a housewife
their lives are so luxurious and like truly literally rich but i'm like it comes with so
much scandal and oftentimes like infidelity i'm like rumors lies is it worth it i don't know and
that being an entire imagine like a lie rumor being told about yourself and that being your
entire storyline being filmed about for two and a half months yeah and then living with that just
live it just lives on right in the bravo sphere and then you have uh just delusional heather
right who's sitting here being like i love you like a sister
lisa barlow and lisa barlow's like after what you did in atlanta like how you talk to me how you
treat me we're not sisters and that's where i'm like heather i think honestly doesn't know when
to hang up the housewife you know what i mean like i'm like i genuinely think that both of like
i think she she thinks there's a difference and there's just not yeah you know yeah not
portia being like i know you're not acting up in front of company talking about andy and andy's
the one who tried to make this mend happen at a party you guys but
another rhode island thing so liz our girl who's not who allegedly isn't coming back
great to see her great to see her just being like you were never homeless you know in that
van one more time but she was apparently spotted filming uh that's so classic for rory rory rory
anyway so right um i bet she's coming back as a friend of i sure hope so yeah she's incredible
Boundaries
Well
Andy called
The Housewives
His Avengers
And I have to
agree they've gotten me through a lot i believe that they can do anything they put their minds to
and i actually thought this was an amazing ultimate girls trip season and i hope that
they mix and match more housewives in the future and not just five yeah this was fun and then we
had luann handing over the torch which was what just like a bust candle under and his table um
to aaron and jessel as the new cast of roni relinquishing i guess what all ties to as golden
life is gonna come out on eve a hundred percent you know what i mean she's like yeah you guys can
have this but do we think that they deserve it hell yeah i don't know much about real housewives
honestly i don't know much about like the prior seasons but i love aaron and i love jessel so
they deserve whatever the fuck they do honestly they're bringing it this season with roni which
i'm obsessed with it's really good it's
really good
i did not expect to like actually enjoy this shit it's so damn funny like it is really funny
understanding the appeal i get it i think it's just such a great mixture jessel's reactions and
like what happened she she she accused aaron aaron's house caught on fire some shit and she
accused it of being an insurance fraud like but that's so housewives coded yeah like that is
something a housewife would do insurance fraud
so evil but she was also like i didn't say it was a scam i just said it wasn't insurance fraud it's
like that's yeah scam i love her which we currently have a housewife of potomac who is under
investigation going on trial for insurance fraud yeah oh my god so i have this little tank top that
i made um which is a bunch of housewives mug shots and it says morally corrupt on it and i was i was
at the grocery store yesterday and a guy came up to me and goes who's on your shirt and i went
housewives and he goes oh the arrested ones and i was like yeah wait that's iconic that's so good
did you use their mug shots yeah nice yeah that's so good i also i also love uh i like i like erica

shallow enough so it was just kind of inconvenient for everyone and i love that martha stewart
stylist i can't remember her name but i love that she made everybody eat dinner in a pool
trying to clock her on the fact that it wasn't her own island and she had to share the island
uh when aaron just love this whole shit bro when aaron and daisy are talking shit being like this
isn't that great and i was like aaron you're just pissed because you have a fold-out bed
but if you had a regular bedroom you'd be like this is amazing
that is funny she's like um this is crazy and daisy's like yeah martha stewart would never
and it's just like okay do you speak for martha now because i feel like martha would be a gracious
guest i don't know if i would be a gracious guest i don't know if i would be a gracious guest
um whose island actually is this and i was like that was a crazy rude question yes when they flew
well if that's if this is their island why didn't they fly us out private right bitch do you have
an island literally if i were they're doing well actually i shouldn't say this i was gonna say
they're doing being a billionaire right yeah but actually maybe they should just donate money more
because they won't be like so rich but i'm like i feel like if you have that much money

of you together and you're like hey i didn't forget about the simple pleasures of life
also this is reminding me of um lisa a little bit from salt lake city when she was complaining
about the flight from palm springs where it was just like having to sit in 17c for like
for an hour flight truly and it's just like broadman paid for the tickets like why do you
like if if you want to upgrade your seat what was she mad that it wasn't first class yeah broadman
put herself and her husband in first class which i'm like what there's only like probably six seats
up there and i think one other housewife yeah and then whatever is available on the flight and lisa
got 17c and you might as well have asked her to fly and the cargo like the way that she was acting
