E1200 - Dustin Lynch, Dancing With The Stars Mariah Carey Week, RHONY & Ultimate Girls Trip Finale

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.

mazes and you know the haunted houses i get 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 Natalie we have a jam-packed episode coming up Nick and Natalie interviewed Dustin Lynch to talk about his music career and his music career and his career and after that we're recapping Dancing with the Stars Ultimate Girls Trip Real Housewives of New York but before we get into that we do have some headlines for you and don't forget if you want to hear more of us outside of Reality Recaps we have Vile Files Plus the household will be more involved in upcoming Vile Files Plus episodes and we get into all of the fun pop culture topics that we don't have time for here so the link to sign up is in our bio you can go to vilefiles.com to see more 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 so they're they live and breathe it you know and um so for whatever you've been the lambo yeah we try to go every year okay yeah let's go let's go to a game let's do it so what

the 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
