Kendrick Beef you yeah I did I was listening to this morning I basically listen throughout you know listen to all their beef songs this morning while I was working out cuz they have there's like five or six now wait since since Saturday when Kendrick released that glove one that was crazy the glove one was was the glove One Meet the Grahams no the glove one was like six something oh six oh yeah 616 dude did you see did you see the like whole thing on 616 cuz apparently Drake said something about like you better come at me with like a quintuplet something I don't even understand and there was like a Bible verse of 616 like seven things that God hates and he go goes off in the in the song it has seven things God hates and then there was like uh the album release date The Producer was Taylor Swift's and it all like kind of came together there was like seven things because of 616 yeah it's nuts yeah it's it's been a back and forth uh rap battle as the boys like to call it I always have trouble following rap battles because it's just like you have to listen to the song multiple times to understand what I know and you need to know the context in history like I found myself on Instagram and YouTube listen to these people break down there's an incredible breakdown yeah yesterday um I forget who the cat was but it's like seven minutes long or five minutes long you said which one did I send you on Instagram yeah you were I forget you sent it to me on Friday see that's a different one that one's just a breakdown of euphoria yeah that was just a break down Euphoria then this cat breaks down the the the history of like people a lot of people in the industry like hating Drake it's like the weekend uh tickle Back Rick Ross he goes through like a a timeline of of it all going you know basically building up the way it is and Kendrick lar having all the you know subtle comments and the the depth to each little bar that he has like he's like breaking it down so obviously I don't know a whole lot about this do does anybody know the origin story of how Kendrick and Drake started going at it I couldn't even tell you J Cole started but why if why is Kendrick coming on see there's a whole bunch I would love somebody in the comments to tell me everything that's going on with this because I just want to know how this all started yeah we got five white guys trying to break down exactly and it's you know we're just the wrong population to be doing this right now but Drake has a a lyric that's like I'm doing 20 verse one or something like that talking about like all these dudes coming at him but he's still murdering all of them all this stuff that I I just don't get I don't understand yeah yeah other than the the four my people yeah we got these we got these I know we got these and we're growing them in this thing the spring is such a beautiful time but as spring goes to summer this FL caught some radiation yeah the amount of bugs I have in my house right now is insane look at this [ __ ] dude he's just ripping around I know that's a thick boy right there yeah oh oh you got to get him to rest on you I know he don't look like he's resting anytime soon no he got all the energy we need JP to take JP's got a little bit of space to work with if that oh did you get his ass no oh no he's right here he's right here anyway people probably don't want to listen to us is this off our TV monitor good news though we get to do a uh we'll get to run through this intro fairly fairly faster because we have a awesome guest on with Tyler Hub today yes the breakup of Florida Georgia lion will be the the headlining story of this whole thing and we shot this episode what like a month ago a couple months ago when Tyler was coming out um he came sat on the bus dude was the conversation was incredible yeah yeah it was one of those classic busting with the boys organic conversations where you feel like things are just flowing great the entire time Tyler was very shared lot the struggles the trials and tribulations the origin story of Florida Georgia Line all of that stuff but there's been the reason why I say we filmed it so long ago there's been so many developments since then uh BK Brian Kelly his ex I don't know co- singer is that what you call it his ex partner his ex partner he came out with a a song that says you can kiss my boots now if you listen to the song on your own it just sounds like a guy have you heard the song if you listen to the song on your own it really just sounds like a guy and a girl broke up and the girl's talking [ __ ] about the guy and he's like you know this is small town I hear everything blah blah blah but knowing there was a breakup in a lot of people in the fan bases of florid Georg line kind of picking a side drawing a line down the middle you got to pick BK or Tyler a lot of fans are coming out and saying hey this is about Tyler all this there's like so we got a country battle going we got yeah we got a we got we got Kendrick Lamar and Drake and we got a country battle forget Kendrick and Drake BK and Tyler H yeah we got a southern battle going down with the boys over here in the Southeastern area of the country it is so there's a lot to read into but this is actually a great episode you guys are really going to enjoy it yeah yeah yeah yeah I that was uh that was a song that you dropped right I dropped in our group chat yeah got you got you yeah I didn't get to I listen to some of it but I didn't get to listen to yeah you you can listen to it and it's very easy if I just say to you it's about Tyler hubard and you go listen to the song you're like this is 100% about Tyler hubard but zero context to me I was trying to listen to it like without having an ear trying to be biased towards Tyler it it felt it also felt like a breakup song so it's a fun it's creativity boys boys just getting creative in the lab getting after it they want to get in the lab if they want the the example of Kendrick and Drake like now right now they should be taking notes that's how you need to be handling a beef cuz because whatever albums they drop from here from here on out their next album's going to do so many so many numes bro C I mean Drake does anyway but uh and so does Kendrick but knowing that this beef is going on and know it's just got all it it reminds me it's like uh when The Rock and The Undertaker they're showing back up in the WWE everyone's going nuts you got older Generations everybody kind of coming together to watch all this unfold because the rap battle still hasn't happened for such a long time yeah I wonder there are conspiracy theories about this whole rap battle thing and as it's like shown that if get in an argument with another person of popularity your numbers are going to go up cuz their fans are going to want to watch you and vice versa yeah do you think this has been this is manufactured yeah no think so could it have been though cuz I love a goody I know but if you if you're if you kind of follow the timeline of everything you see when Cat Williams even when he's on Shannon Sharp's podcast he talks about year 2024 people are going to start getting exposed and people are alluding that to like oh this is a you know Drake's part of this part of this group yeah Williams is the black Alex Jones yeah they're both yeah they're both like Drake is so polarizing it's like his latest one it's basically just saying like oh you're lying which I you don't really know and then he said he baited him he baited him to make the songs before that but it's like if you knew you're were baiting him why don't you have like actual like say your phone's out and you're recording yourself like Hey we're about to get his ass type of thing and then you're showing yourself give the information like if you're that if you're that much playing chess I don't know why you wouldn't do that to kind of show that off versus you know you kind of sit back you can let comments and the world everybody's words unfold and kind of use whatever narrative fits you know that next song it kind of reminds me a lot of like when a when all the ab stuff was going down from with the Raiders and people like oh there's probably more to the story here there's probably more to the story there and everybody's giving him the benefit of the doubt and then he kind of allows people to paint a certain narrative and then he'll lean into that one because that's what best suits him in that moment MH the the rap battle thing is interesting because there is really a book pretty much written for it Eminem the rap battling the yeah he's kind there's there's another but I'm talking about like strategically like if you look at uh MGK before he ventured off and went into the punk rock scene he had that song uh rap rap devil he had rap devil and it was about Eminem the next I think in the within the 24 hours Eminem had kill shot on MGK and it was just him going ham on MGK for a minute and so I don't know why like that that's why things just seem manufactured to me like all the stuff's just coming out now like we're all kind of planning okay you release and I'll release then you release yeah I don't know I think there I I think it's been fun once again it's a category that we know nothing about yeah yeah I sit back and I'm like oh [ __ ] some of the boys will drop in the group chat oh another diss track comes out like oh [ __ ] let me take a listen yeah wonder what he means here wonder what he means there I'm I'm trying to research articles to stay privy to the culture you know what I mean yeah I was at Franklin Factory and that when one of the boys uh put the diss track in the group chat I was taking a tuzy in the bathroom I just had it on loud listening to it myself full volume and the whole time I'm like I got to listen to this four more times just to understand the lyrics because it's difficult it's hard to pick all that [ __ ] up dude yeah but it's also My Toot little humid in here a little sneaky one came out huh little humid in here one just greased out of the pipes huh I think so I think so but yeah that creativity man to be able to just go at somebody that hard I know bro it's [ __ ] awesome it makes you appreciate Ron that much more did you listen to Ron's thiss track on KFC no you got to Ranking Barstool Personalities check that on KFC yeah oh [ __ ] you got to check that one out no just murdered him in Cold Blood yeah and then like KFC was saying that um that they were texting he's like hey I have something written like you know basically asking how much farther do we want to go with this or yada yada and he goes and R say was planned it was no it wasn't manufactured but KFC's texting with him trying to like you know find where the line could potentially be he's like if I release this you know will you have anything else blah blah blah and Ron basically responded like I'll empty the [Music] clip like I will end you yeah if you put this out if you put something out put something else out but Rome that's you don't want to get involved we got uh uh espressos yeah yeah oh lock it in with a Lucy real quick brother hate to kill your Vibe I didn't want to kill your flow there I just want to pass it over it's like you don't want to get in beef with ran because of the rap battles [ __ ] and you don't want to get in a beef with Francis because of the blogging if you if you had to categorize who you don't want to make upset at bar stool it would probably go Dave number one obviously and then Francis and then Ron and then probably big cat see I don't I to me I don't think Dave would be the number one really I don't think Dave would be if I'm going into a beef thing with Dave being number one I would be more concerned about like a Francis and a ran because creatively how they would handle yeah like they can they can big brain hurt your feelings yeah you know what I mean yeah yeah yeah yeah like God damn I saw a clip of Francis uh on Instagram the other day doing standup he is so [ __ ] funny he oh dude Franc Francis is good talk about him and his girl starting to try and she's got a whole new bag of tricks she's like it's crazy I've been giving you everything I have this whole entire time and I just think to myself bro how do you think of that it's amazing yeah yeah that that stuff like Francis and ran have the the ability language wise verbally to just somebody like me just got to go animal brain and you just resort to fighting you know what I mean because there's there's nothing you can do you just get so yeah Bamboozled you kind of can't keep your wits to you if it's like Dave or big cat like those would be those would be fun battles but you know just like you know I don't know they seem a little bit more fun like Ron and Francis you're kind of sitting back like man what the [ __ ] is about to happen yeah the thing the reason why I brought up Dave is number one is because his following is so strong and he just he literally he has a track record and he has receipts of ending people yeah I mean you'll get ratioed into Oblivion with oiv yeah but as far as reading and listening to the stuff it's creatively if you're talking about just one-on-one like to verbally go back and forth with with Dave or big cat you feel like those are like more suitors for your category you could curse words and a lot of insults but at the end you're yeah just trying to be like trying to be funny about it like Ron and Francis legitimately are just in a different category than us that we wouldn't be able to handle it verbally yeah yeah I would say on Whose bad side I would want to be on in in like a like a beef in the barcel world I would say I want to change M I'm going to change mine as well because I think Dave does go down the list now I'd say Francis ran Dave that' be my top three that'd be my top three Dave it's a good list those are the three something about sneaky guys though Rico and Jersey Jerry not from them just from their their little armies that just follow them around and are truly willing to Comic cause you and actually murder you I feel like they're they have people that legitimately if like it really came down to it would come to your house and kill you yeah like for them like everybody has audiences they have soldiers yes exactly yeah th those would they' probably be four and five cuz big never gets malicious yeah yeah big cat he's trying to have a good time he to have good vies he does try to find the line to do in a fun way where like like uh like the draft when we were there he pretended like oh hey who are you the whole time it's like oh he's having I'm glad he's having a good time with this yeah as opposed to Dave who's just mean yeah he'll come after you Dave come after you man he just comes at you uh so is your top three the same yeah I mean I would probably put Dave at three after this after this go or Jerry in there so that way we can have just have different I would go top three people you don't want to kind of get in in a spat with I would go Francis probably won just how he handles himself on the mic and in the writing category I would put ran to cuz he's just more creative and Wier than both of us and then I'd probably put Jerry 3 I think ever since Jerry after dark ever since the hole in one the chat he's just got the chat he has the chat and the chat will handle you and like I said before if he if you and Jerry truly got into it where there was like true beef like a Kendrick and a drake situation Jerry's going to have a Baker's Dozen people lining up lining outside your door to truly actually not joking murder you and they're ready to go Jerry's Army right yeah Jerry's Army Jer Army Jer what we have what do we have hey I'll tell you what and I don't want this don't sleep on Kirk minahan oh H well we were talking about this don't sleep on Kirk minahan whatsoever I forgot about that one hey and tell the Min fans out there people I'm not trying to f up nobody do not sleep on Kirkman hand we were talking to abama before the live show I would love to feel the wrath of Kirk manahan like losing his [ __ ] on me yeah I would appreciate that moment of just not where I'm being the bad guy but like he's getting worked up and I'm just like hey what's the big deal he's like and then he just [ __ ] I'm the person that he decides to go in on even though I've done nothing to him I would enjoy he'd find an angle I don't think I don't think You' just H maybe you'd be able to smoke him out but he'd find an angle he'd find it he'd find an Ang well when I was watching bar Survivor it seemed like he just took whatever angle he wanted yeah but he he find he'll find he'll find him in their in their moments and then that's when he gets you that's how he Snipes you that's how he Snipes you bro God that Baro Survivor thing would be a fun thing to do I think they're working on trying to get another one going I'm down I know I know you're on the list Dave asked me if you if I wanted to do it I was like yeah I would absolutely do it I think that'd be a lot of fun I think it'd be fun if you were there uh Biz Whit I know Whit like I'm not trying to sleep I'm not trying to be in the office for is I'm like Whit I'm telling you it's kind of a blast bro Whit is maybe the most underrated barol talent I I don't know if he's underrated I think he's know yeah I mean he's he's well on the unnamed show with Dave yeah I just whenever I'm around him I just like when I like the reason why I think he's underrated is when I get around wit I I enjoy myself more than I expect to enjoy myself you know what I'm saying like I get there I'm like oh we're we're going to do a sandbagger with the boys oh that'll be fun I don't like golf but it'll be fun to hang out with the boys and then I sit with Wht in a cart for nine holes and I'm like this is way more fun than I expected yeah wit is funny man the best is they're the best self-deprecating that's the best humor absolutely I think before you get away from people roasting each other it's probably the perfect segue for the Tom Brady Rose yes no this this this screen do we want to pause real quick we canot knock out an ad all right before we get into Tom Brady and Ro Tom Brady let's talk about

I mean I'm not tching I'm not touching him jack I'm going to send this to you and then can you put it put it up real quick cuz I think we need it's insane he basically he basically sits there and he has the five Waters and I think that he wasn't allowed to do it at school like the teacher like they had to go off they had to go off scrip and he challenges like me Taylor and I think little Jack too kids got a little muscle on bit of a specimen yeah yeah he challenges like me Taylor and McAfee challenge you guys yeah challeng us he's got five Waters lined up five bottles of water and he basically just goes like Jack i i i Instagram all five of them this is the kid right here all right so I was not able to do this at my school's talent show you've already been told me you're not allowed to do this give me the water bottle all right even though I believe it's a talent today I'm going to be doing the five water bottle chug I nominate Taylor lean Will Compton and Pat McAfee to try this challenge rules are pretty simple down the water on my go Sean all right just on on me on me vertical thank you one that was good oh my god get it K 20 seconds holy cow what the hell that is why look at him he got a little shoulders on him he knows what he's doing with the one size too small in the T-shirt too bro obviously plays middle linebacker head on I mean I've heard video oh it's four bottles you can just play it though like as we're talking now cut us out and just play this video yeah you can see look and I like his technique but here's what he does he does a really good job of hiding the entire bottle see when he crushes it you don't know if he's taking all that there's probably a couple ounces in there that's the cheat code I don't know bro he's [ __ ] squeezing the life out of him but I think we should try this I I mean I I commented I mean yeah I'll I'll I'll do it I'll [ __ ] put him to rest hey you might have met your maker bro that's fast that's fast there also water so meaning much easier need to know if you threw up afterwards yeah got to know if he threw up afterwards water anything that's not carbonated anything that's not carbonated is obviously easier to drink cuz the carbonation will kind of float float up your tube a little bit that's right cuz the way you put down that Twisted te and then it kind of just came out of your nose it was so fast yeah I had that deviated septum yeah but it does that happens all the time to me even doing beer it'll you like you like put it down just start the closeup JP did you cut that clip from Alabama live show yeah dude that was I I knew some came out but I didn't know drained out it looked like had like a called like a netti pot when you you put it in your nose and just kind of comes out that's what it's like for my nose bro it was literally like and then you had a certain look on your face like if you're in a horror film and you just look over at your buddy what's happening in Taylor and you just kind of stand there and [ __ ] just pours out of your nose you guys were going oh and I was like whoa what happened the roast of Tom Brady I Tom Brady Roast haven't got to watch it I know I want to

about Robert Craft the massage that's the one clip I have not seen I saw that clip so Taylor was telling me about that cra makes a joke or not craft uh Jeff Ross makes a joke about Robert Craft having a good time blah blah blah how great the franchise is and then kind of just pauses for a second and says do you want a massage and the crowd does the uncomfortable laugh like with all like oh in laugh there few of those I felt like yeah yeah but you want those in a roast like you want to go too far in a roast right and Tom Brady does pulls a Will Smith and walks up and Whispers In Jeff Ross's ear cut that [ __ ] out and you can hear him over the mic so that's what I was going to ask do you think it was real do you think it that's what I'm curious about cuz that's why I asked T too I was like did it seem like it was real and the thing that I'll have to watch like the real I'll have to watch the whole thing through but all the clips I saw whenever they pan to Tom he's kind of doing the uncomfortable like not like feels uncomfortable in his own skin type of thing click that uh hyper link up there with the confrontation with Jeff Ross maybe it'll have that video oh I think he's playing you think he's playing I think he's playing yeah I think he's I think he's playing right there that was like Tom like yeah just coming to coming to bat for his guy yeah I mean that is a it's a wild deal that's amazing too how that whole Robert Craft massage thing kind of just it was like in the news for 24 hours it was a quick little deal yeah bro I'm watching I'll save for my shout out but hey the the the cats at the top man it's you know you you they're Untouchable oh conspiracy not conspiracy it's just I'm dying for conspiracy yeah they're just I just think Untouchable what about the flake gate you see that joke no oh see that's why I I I hate it cuz I I want to watch stuck right now I can't wait to talk some shows because I'm stuck right now and that's the only reason why I wasn't watching this because I was like I got to get this show in dude I'm binging it hard right now I was laying in bed last night I thought I should put this on for the show tomorrow and I yeah sure Tom oh he admits to deflate gate that's what the the uh and that he deflate Gate's real uh but Bill Bill steps up and he's like uh uh I'm excited to be here at Tom Brady's roast not to be confused with the 10-part docu series on the roast of Bill bich everyone started laughing at that craft is sitting there that is because that was like a hit job on Old Bill belich everybody's I feel not every when I say everybody I mean like players I feel like have been vocal about like they hated the way the docu the docu series was I personally love the Dynasty docu series because I'm not like a Boston like you know growing up in the midwest you don't see all the Northeast stuff like how everything was shaking up back in the early 2000s so I thought it was a cool like look inside of everything but then once you get to the end of it and you see Julian Edelman and all these players kind of talking about it you see that it was like a like a like a hit job on Bill and then craft I want to say either at the head the owners the owner Summit or something to where they're kind of interviewing him and he's like I kind of hate the way that they portrayed bill and it's like bro you for sure signed off on every episode before went out there yeah it's interesting how big this country is and how you kind of like in your own little your own little area based on where you grew up and because when you and I watch it and all of us I think we all really enjoyed the the Dynasty docu series but then you talk to people that are like like Dave we talked to him at UFC 299 he hated it Edelman didn't like it people that were in that world and have been a part of that world since this dynasty started seemed like there's a consensus that they don't like it very much yeah yeah compared to us who just watch and are like kind of like oh my God this is [ __ ] inane yeah which I kind of feel I kind of feel the aspect of like they won a lot of Super Bowls and football games obviously but they seem to always talk about the the down times in the downard they kind of fast hard or skipped through like when they won so I I get that but it's them docu series it seems like it's just hard to hit hit or miss on like everybody hated the Florida Gators one well that one was bad that the the Florida the swamp what was it called swamp Kings SW swamp Kings there there is it should have been a five-part series they try to put all that information with all those characters at the University of Florida into a 45in episode is just not doing you a service you don't even touch on the Aaron Hernandez stuff you don't like you hardly touch on half of things so it kind of becomes that could have been way better the problem is is the last dance with Michael Jordan is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen and now people are trying to redo that and the dynasty could have been that it could have absolutely been that if they would have just taken the time to check every single box cuz in the last dance they do such a great job of talking about the highs and the lows and finding the balance there of showing like the struggle of how it got there but also like this dude Michael Jordan who like was not taking no for an answer and all like how he was an [ __ ] to people and that it's Michael Jordan looking at an iPad being like I took that personally 17 times like they just he did they did such an amazing job I've literally seen that documentary I think I rewatched it twice yeah it's a good one yeah and with the Jord one I mean that's decades after he's done playing like this one's fresh out of the Gat so fresh out of the G there's obviously going to be some politicking going on I feel like so maybe a little bit rushed you think yeah I think so and again it's it's more from one it's more from one angle and it's fresh it's like the Jordan one you got the you know years that went by and then I'm sure people were just the writers and the the content team and the creative team were just dialed in on how they wanted to tell the story and it's over one guy right versus like an entire organization yeah but that's the thing is like if Tom Brady this is Tom Brady Bill bich and Robert Craft and if you were to take maybe a few more years and able to like surround all the story lines together and lay it out great as if far as like you're saying like not just put it down so quickly you're it would have been such a better product the one thing I thought they did really well was quarterbacks this past year Omaha Productions and Netflix did that I can't wait to see receiver this year Netflix's Quarterback/Receiver receiver is going to be elite doing a season are they also also they're starting a new one season of receiver and then doing a second season of quarterback think so what they need to do is tight ends you have so many tight end personalities right now George is in it IA is Travis KD yeah George KD is in receiver yeah George is doing a great job of creating that brand out they need they need to do they need to get some Hogs dude yeah I just don't it's just so theung Heroes big Bo yeah it's just some big boys but it's it would probably be so hard to like Garner content from it because the big boys they just they don't want to they don't want to talk it is Chang they don't want to get out there like that they don't care no it's it's changing it it really is there's a Changing of the Guard right now of like the older generation the new generation where offense alignment are really starting to talk really starting to find their personalities and I think it's going to be in next couple years you'll have that opportunity to do like an offensive line thing would you have done it yeah ah probably not oh you would have done it no I oh it's so bro you would have done no like I I think sitting here right now yes like right my personality right now how I've like zoomed out of football I think it' have been really difficult for me if I was like week four into the the season and having a tough game or you know how it is when coaches are always kind of on you and always being like that's not good enough that's not good enough and to think oh this is getting filmed I think I would really I would have really struggled with that finding a balance of like keeping the same you know uh attitude every single day with right but Devil's Advocate by that point you would have already signed the dotted line to do it cuz you don't know you're having those trials and tribulations I think in the offseason you'd catch me and I'd say yes yeah and I got in the middle of the season i' be like why the [ __ ] did I do this it would be it would be because it's such a it's Warfare mentally and physically the entire football season that would be so but it still comes out as a positive yeah you're prob it's a lot it's a lot it's a lot of things that people don't see yeah I would I would probably do it I would most likely do it but I would just I I sitting here now I I think um knowing my mental state back then and how was all ball all the time I would have a a more difficult I had a hard time doing this show during while I was playing and that was once a week yeah but I mean we were doing it for three years yeah I it would be it would be a harder thing you would have done lineman you would have done Hogs you would have done Hogs Hogs would been sick he would have done Hogs who would have been who would be in it right now Hogs like right now yeah Lane Johnson Trent Williams Jason Kelce Jason he's retired oh yeah that's right you said right now um got Zack Martin Zach dude you Zach doesn't really talk you think Quinton Nelson would do it I think he would I do I think Quinton would be really good that's a good one we'll put him in there would be good bachar yeah he's my boys in limbo right now we got B would be fantastic if he was we got to get old Packers Bach right now he'd be a perfect candidate for it you know who I think would be a good candidate is um oh Dion Dawkins yeah he would bills so there's four and I think one more you throw in like a lamry tunel now you have big names Lamy loves fashion he's a good ball player I don't know his personality very well but I know Dion would do a phenomenal job B man yeah here are some more cats right here Tristan would be good pan I dude so pan swell I don't know a whole lot about this cat I haven't seen a whole lot about his film is that you say su su pan Su but he apparently talking to like a couple of lions guys says he's the best dude really yeah he's like one of the greatest cats awesome to be around hard work just signed a massive deal I think 2 million a year yeah he's s big dog deal big dog deal playing RT too yeah which is impressive so I think he'd be good Jordan myot of would be good too yeah Jordan would be really good but I think you if you had a pick between Jordan and Lane who you taking because you don't want two guys in the same team I just feel like for like the purpose of a familyfriendly event over Lane be big because he does he he was huge with the singing uh for Jason's album last year I'll tell you that family friendly type and Polynesian you checked the box when rug player I'm saying you got to have one of each you know what I mean that's a serious yeah yeah but most of the dudes we've said is are black are checking a box true so if anything we need more white guys yeah I mean you can't go wrong with either one both great guys both great guys I don't know uh Jordan very well but what about ran Slater do you know anything about him no I don't I know he's a good ball player had a bicep last year they to do rookies just call the rookie call it rookie yeah that might be a bus with the boys production we'll get Ronnie Stanley too I think he would do really well I think he would do well JJ Watt did you see that he's still open to return to the NFL no I didn't see that until they pulled up the article you notice he you notice that he sees the boys we have our private jet yeah SP the rers that would be our private jet too get mad every time get on that plan um he said last year he told Deo don't call unless you absolutely need it but if you ever do call I'll be there and he knows not to call unless he absolutely needs it this is the last year I'll tell him that because I'm not going to keep training the way I've been training but he knows that if if he ever truly does need it I'll be there for him I mean that's I don't anticipate it happening uh they've got a very good group so you think you think you think he'd return I mean if the depth struggles on that quote I would say yeah absolutely if they had a bunch of injuries and it was week five or something like that call them in get them a couple weeks to warm up and get like back into the basics get after it yeah yeah because he's been more open I mean you can see he he goes on the pat mavy show he's his his uh tweet Games been getting out there a little bit more he's tweeting a lot more and you see he's still ass to grass with a lot of weight on his back yeah so you know he's still training he's training his ass he looks fantastic too he looks great and I I wonder if it's setting in that like okay football's over I mean he's got all the opportunities in the world but still there's always a piece of you that's like man could I still do it could I when you're juggling all those things off the field and if you get later in the year and the depth is struggling you could make a return on a good squad and the Texans are contenders this year even the the The Branding and everything you're doing off the field like yeah yeah you get your ass the prodical son returns to Houston for One Last Ride there's a documentary in its own right there're just making Netflix is own wat yeah I think I think he could absolutely do it I mean you look at him the last couple years at the Cardinals like he wasn't JJ Watt of of Houston but still very slippery still did a great job of rushing the passer like he was he was still he could still have played in the NFL this past year and been and been a guy you Circle and be like listen he might be older but he's still a cat that you got to worry about yeah he's still disruptive disruptive plays hard gives effort so yeah I mean first in last out yeah I think the leadership too cuz Houston I think I have to look more at the depth chart but Houston seems like they're a squad that is extremely talented but young really young they have a lot of young Talent there and if you brought in a leadership guy like like JJ Watt it might be Tak him over the edge Houston might win it all this year they that's that's a shitty thing is they might do what I think that was your early prediction yeah I I do I think Houston's got all now look I think the other day I was watching the divisional round ners vers Packers watching the Packers just kind of below it there in the last you rewatching film yeah like dude God bless R but if we're not watching Miss Rachel if I'm like oh no you know we'll watch Miss Rachel later whatever she'll literally say football so I'll go on I'll be oh you want to watch football and I'm just thinking like there's no football on and I NFL Network divisional round ners Packers and we're just sitting there watching football and uh but anyway the ners they have to win this year like their window of having all these players is obviously closing I know and they have such a core unit that it's all or nothing this year I think it's been all or nothing for him the last C you know uh losing a couple quarterbacks two years ago obviously this past year was like it doesn't matter unless they win the whole thing and they get to the Super Bowl and then fortunately lost to the [ __ ] Chiefs but this year I think like having that group together like they have one more shot if you're playing in the scenario of the 49ers and they're in the Super Bowl the team that they should play is the Chiefs Chiefs have won two in a row je I don't think I'll get back stop dude you okay I guess we'll see I think Houston I think Houston's the team in the AFC Houston Baltimore Baltimore is gonna be a great Squad is nasty Tennessee don't sleep on the Steelers they have Arthur Smith at OC right now Tennessee is brewing up a squad right now they're Brewing but it's not going to be this year if you were to rank AFC South right now if you were to rank You Never Know Jack you never know if you're looking at the AFC South this is how i' rank AFC South right now you got to put Houston at one have to then you put the Titans at two I don't know and then you put the Colts at three and the Jags are in four I don't know I don't I don't know if that's that's right bro we were in there with Callahan you saw the boys yours I would go I would go Houston I would go Colts then I would go titans in Jacksonville but Jacksonville is four yeah I think think the AFC South is a very tough division this year now yes absolutely St Trevor Lawrence Will Young QBs yes dude it's just and I'm telling you bro here's the exciting thing if you're if you're a Tennessee Titans fan watching this podcast right now let me get you pumped up a little bit the last 10 years of your life you've been seeing ground and pound please God let Derrick Henry break one and we're going to we're going to out defense these guys essentially this is football of the 90s we are now transitioning into highflying air raid put points on the board we're going to score more points than you that's what that's what the Titans are going to try to be this yearin rley DeAndre Hopkins hope to God who's the kid uh that we drafted tayin Burks hope to God he has a year pray for it I'm still I'm still G to sing Kyle Phillips's Praises if he can stay healthy the kids got talent you got chig and you have an offensive line that you're building together you just pay a center $50 million you got yourself a left tackle NFP is getting to his third year he's coming off injury but it's third year you drafted a guy in the first round at at left guard you have the tools on offense to be successful you take a kid that uh that dude from Texas what's his name DeAndre DeAndre sweat tandre tandre sweat yeah Outland Trophy winner he literally says himself if I can lose weight I'll be a Hall of Famer that's terrifying by the way if you're a Titans fan you just need this guy if you know your only issue to not make it to the hall of fame is something that you control brother you got to get your [ __ ] together then with Jeff and I think as much as Jeff and I have had our disagreements and my opinions about Jeff Jeff is going to bully this sweat kid into being in shape I've seen him do with other defensive lineman he's going to hold him to a standard and that kid's gonna have a good first year I believe yeah so we got you got sne too from the Chiefs who was all pro last year yeah yeah Titans got a squad I'm keeping them at two I'm keeping them at two tight for one you're right you never know like you don't know how the season's going to shake up I wouldn't be surprised based on the coaching staff that they have and some of the young talent but I think the Houston Texans bro are absolutely loaded and not to mention they got two of the Titans best defensive players last year yeah it's Al shahir right Al Al shahir and Deno arry and Deno ay who is maybe the sleepiest guy in the league that people sleep on constantly yeah bro he's nasty nasty Houston's got a squad let's

it's a solid that's a oh yeah dude better times hey did you OBJ Is A Dolphin see uh obj signed with the dolphins he's a Miami boy I know I saw the one thing I did see on that was Jaylen Ramy saying last time they two were both on a team Super Bowl Super Bowl towards towards ACL yeah that's tough dude oneyear deal worth $4 million with incentives to push it up to 8.25 million man I really want Beckham to get gbot I know I want him dude I think his uh I love his work ethic bro huh I feel like the dude Have you listened to him on the pivot like the the ups and downs he had with his knees with surgeries and stuff like that and still like being a guy at the peak of where he was and still like loving the game and wanting to go play ball even though he's got a base salary of three million up to 8.2 yeah you know what I mean like he he was like at the I mean he was at the top of the world I know he was he was number one he was essentially Patrick Mahomes like that kind of star power yeah when he was in his prime the thing that I really I just wish he could get back on track for is because every human being I came across that played with him at LSU or new like play with him in Giants or wherever was like this dude could be professional at any sport soccer baseball Big Time athlete Big Time athlete like just has the genetics like that yeah and he's a just a he's just a stud man and I feel like he's just a guy that you start to like root for not that he hasn't been that but you know when when you're at the very tip top and then you have Antics on the sidelines and everything else it's very easy to you know to comment on the dramatic [ __ ] that he does the vain right but in the last few years the way he's just kind of came on teams kept his head down like he's never really been a distraction like people like we would have thought he probably could have been I don't know I I kind of [ __ ] with him yeah I don't really know much about him other than like again he's signing again it just seems like he the boy loves to play ball you painted a really good picture too cuz at one point obj kind of became the villain like he lived long enough to see him become the villain yeah and now with the trials and tribulations and him just fighting the good fight over and over again because he loves the game so much trying to get back on track it really makes you rude for the guy yeah oh well I just thought of that first class situation that I think that was last year no that was two years ago yeah I think he was he was drunk he was like sleep right yeah yeah it was but you know just a hiccup you can't judge people you let that go yeah throw that to the win let the breeze take it that's over yeah but him Tyreek Hill Jaylen waddle I mean I know I just wonder how many balls he's gonna get I don't think he I don't think it's like he puts that much expectation on it I think he does but I'm saying I think he's very aware of the situation he's going into he knows he knows the strengths of Tyreek Hill Jaylen like you you got coach McDaniels like I'm sure they're going to find creative ways to get everybody the ball spread the ball around yeah Tyre just said dude you got to feed over and over again the thing I wish Tyreek did was hit that 2,000 because he was on Pace at one point last year right yeah yeah yeah I wanted him to get that so bad dude was crushing it should we hit segments shout out no free shout out oh you want to get that off your chest huh you've been trying I just want to talk shows go ahead start up just want to talk shows with the boys start up uh my shout out no free shout out of the week first of all it is brought to you by Sport Clips your hair May grow fast after going to Sport Clips haircuts You'll wish it grooving

of them are B antier yeah anti Hero guys are [ __ ] fish you know there's a lot going on it's basically like just assume it's like the X-Men but the roles the roles are reversed they're very well accepted in the world they are the high power they're like the superior they're like the billionaires they get away with and they get away with a lot of devious [ __ ] some stuff that's like you know Charro um she's like should I catch up I'm like I don't know if you you'd mess with the storyline and the plot but I don't know if you'd mess with all like the the violent and the negative [ __ ] that comes with it because it's pretty yeah that show I mean it'd be so interesting you think about it all the time like being a superhero like if you found out at one point in your life you were a superhero how many of us would actually go and fight crime as opposed to just being extremely good at whatever we wanted to be good at yeah imagine if you had Superman's powers and we were still in the mindset of wanting to play football You' just be the best football player of all time yeah he Taylor might be homelander Taylor might be homeand that's a I was going to say that what is uh what's homelander sounds like it's not main character in the show I'll take a main character don't need know anything else super he's he's basically the Superman of the group oh cool and he does he's probably the guy that devious [ __ ] check out check it out check it out check it out I heard the boys the first season uh there was like some random [ __ ] going on people like I don't know if you want to watch this is it it's just gory and it's like sexual in ways you really don't want it to be and like I see what you're saying Jack no for real kids become orphans people are [ __ ] fish yeah kids become orphans a little too frequent in my you know in my opinion a little too much for the children yeah yeah a little too much like as as a parent watching like God damn why do they got to write this type of [ __ ] in there but it is a good show nonetheless so that is my shout out no free shout out uh my shout out no free shout out is going to be it's going to go to willly Wonka in the Chocolate Factory [Laughter] why is that dude my kid so if anybody who has kids out there goes to their kids school place it's fun for 15 minutes and then after that you're like all right like the

and legit these kids were good at the play not good like talking you know what I'm saying relative to the age group we're talking about they did a good job yeah yes they did a good job the one kid who was playing Wonka kid had a good voice kid had a good voice uh Charlie that kid had a good voice too all of them I think did a good job of biting their characters and I just kind of sat there and smiled to myself like my childhood was loving this show and now my kids are playing the show sitting here as an adult as their kid and I thought that was cool yeah I mess with that I love that it's wholesome it was wholesome but shout out to the boys too Gore raping [ __ ] like that that's tight yeah yeah [ __ ] I need to watch that show but I feel like T would not watch that show yeah she she

who comes to you from Daniel duac duac on Instagram this is this one's a bit of a mouthful but I think it's a good one I'm sure you'll handle it just fine like you always do you have 24 hours to complete the following four activities run a mile eat a donut drink a beer and jerk off the catch is you have to do each of these activities in increments of 6 12 12 18 and 24 so example run 6 miles eat 12 donuts drink 18 beers and jerk off 24 times in 24 hours what are you doing for each number I'm going have to put the I'm gonna have to put the miles at six I'm G start there I'm going to eat 24 Donuts I'm going to drink was it 6 12 18 18 I'll drink 18 beers I'm a jerk off 12 times [ __ ] man that's tough I think you got to go 24 Donuts have to and it's what beers jerk off in Miles yep you have to run the miles I think I'll go run a mile run you can't BL it okay I think I'll go 18 beers okay 12 miles and jerk off six times you ain't running 12 miles bro bro over 24 hours a mile a a mile every two hours yeah I don't know man be honest with you I don't know if you're doing that I think it's hard to run I mean to it's harder to jerk off 12 times in a day than it is to run 12 miles yeah yeah 1,00% 100 bro jerk off 12 times one day once and think if you're going to go run after that all right I think I think I'm using a good number with the six like good one I was thinking about going really I was thinking about going more miles but if it's in a 24hour period Marathon going be so tired after that ref feel with the beer and the donuts you're right on might go no I don't know I think 12 my Max my Max would even would be at 12 for Miles I wouldn't be able to go farther than that I think I would just switch the beers and Miles I would do 18 miles and 12 Beers I know that's what I was thinking about too but 18 miles again I mean hour a long time like I mean if you're like really running running you can run a seven minutes but then you're just cooked cooked but if you slow that down you maybe do like a 10-minute mile that's just that's what I'm saying like these miles is not like they have to be run for an run for an hour and you you got what six miles done yeah and then break and then run for an hour again you got another six miles just Zone to it up for 12 miles not for 12 miles straight I'm breaking them up but yeah I think I'm straight JP probably could I mean I'm not in any cardio shape but like my roommate he just ran a half marathon and he trained a little bit and he kept a higher Pace than I would do for it but he finished in like right at two hours and that was 13.1 or whatever that's two hours yeah like sitting she ran a marathon W her age group and it was like three 40 345 or something that's right so you got the whole of the day for all these other things right right right right right Taylor was locked on that 12 one though that's the only one you didn't have to think of jerk off yeah I think you hit an hour hour on the hour think about when he need like seven yeah I still have five more I'm not yeah I'm thinking about my stamina of my wrist and my forarm and I'm also thinking about how bad my piece is going to hurt too right bro 12 times dehydrated get fluids like have you ever came 12 times in a day no I think my Max I was a nasty little 13-year-old I maybe six but I think I think I'm floating those numbers pretty high yeah at the end six is just like dust coming out yeah like I know for sure four just coughing maybe five just a little and that's back in your that's back in your horniest days of all time what time I said I know for sure four maybe there was a fifth time in there at some point but I I don't know I think my numbers are inflated I think I'm four or five as well he and again that's that's back in your horniest times bro all right I'll go listen I'll go six jerk offs you had your number I'll go 12 miles you got a jerk off you got a jerk off 12 times that was that was the fantasy football punishment for one of my buddies name's Connor but they they took the jerk off out but it was just um 12 18 24 for Donuts beers and miles and they had a day party on a Saturday and he brought a treadmill and he played baseball at the Navy and he was like [ __ ] it and he literally did a full marathon on the tread meal at this party 24 donuts and then 24 beers he didn't have to do it but you know War daddy War Daddy when a challenge comes your way have to do answer the bell and then some I bet he struck I bet he got a lot of respect from the boys oh yeah and 24 we should do something like that one day you're GNA plan it and then it's going to come down to it you're like I don't want to do it me I'm more so looking at will but what have I planned and not want to do no I just I feel like we have these ideas like let's go usually I'm more of a started no let's get to yes in any of our will a start at no get to yes I'm a yes immediately go to no yeah so like one of you is going to end up not doing it I think we should do it if you were like we're doing this tomorrow I'd be like all right but if you're like we're doing this in three months I would be more likely to say no as opposed to it being flipped for me and will yeah are you thinking of the combine yeah I'm trying to think like what is Mitch thinking of but it's 1,00% the combine yes did you do the bench press he wasn't in Miami with us I know but have you done that yeah I did it at home what was it I got 31 I expected more I expected more too I it's crazy how just creep that that weight creeps up on you ofwhere I didn't have a spotter though so I I don't know if I could have gotten one or two more but I I was just down there by myself and I didn't want to just kill myself that is an underrated thing is when you have somebody to lift the weight for you to get you in position and they're also just like motivating you a little bit like come on like let's go I just put on some hardcore EDM and just ripped it oh [ __ ] dead mat we I I I apologize we do Most Athletic On The Bus got to get the stuff set up at Boost so we can you run your combine just let Mitch do I know he wants me so bad well no it's the thing that like you're right you're right Jack and I have gone back and forth like who's the most ath most athletic on the bus and we've all been on two dimes and everybody's list is different are yall still going on two dimes yeah we'll di I about that list I feel like who's the first one go that you jack guys figure out who's the most athletic it's not the maybe out of the back of the bus please say it bro ain't none of y'all more athletic than [Laughter] me you don't think so no they're younger dude younger more spr you have a back thing you got a back thing that's that's the thing got Will's running about 900 to cestrone right now though he's Peak like thousand yeah is it dropped oh I don't know I haven't I haven't I haven't I haven't yeah I haven't uh I haven't tested in uh since that last time where I was I was floating some good numbers I was floating some good numbers I just got my blood done Wednesday last week I'm excited to see those Nummies it truly all depends what we're trying to clarify as like what an athlete is because it's like we we it's like we could run through the same combine that I have film on out there because your bench already didn't get it but to me bench is not like but you can there's like a a we did something in college like a pound for pound so you're 15 20 more pounds than I am so you're going to have more like you're going to be able to bench more but I might be able to run faster and like you might or we can find that out yeah we can I mean there's a road right outside you just been ducking it there's a road everywhere no last time I R got something that yall don't have and that's a winning as the black guy he beat the Ling in that race he did I was also filming him running side by side that is [ __ ] funny Jack was saying that too he's like I was running backwards little karaoke Shuffle we'll get it going we'll get it going we'll get it going we'll get it going who would you who would you rank the boys in the in the back most athletic again we we truly I do think there are different definitions and different kind of like all right classic definition of uh are Talk change direction jump speed so we're testing yeah cuz I agree with what you I would guess Jack I if we're doing like if we're talking change direction I was gonna say Mitch but if we do an athletic in terms of like how many sports you were able to hold like your own weight in that is where I feel like I would have a better chance but there's only one way to find out there is I suck at basketball I just when it I can't white but anything else play defense play defense and get boards yeah that's yeah I mean that's a that's a roleas bus I can jump I can get the rebounds and I play good day you won't get your team beat yeah I'm not going to be scoring a lot of points but JP are you quick like change of direction do you feel confident in your ability against them I feel confident I would also probably say Mitch as far as testing goes and then like Jack is saying i' I feel more confident that I'm good at a lot of sports can play a lot of sports I don't have golf though golf's tough yeah but golf's the worst yeah swimming he was on the dive team which I didn't have access to that so who would you rank forgetting about G and I feel like C I feel like C finds himself middle upper pack yeah he might be Shifty yeah I I don't know I have to figure it out I I I if I had to if I had to play on it I would say I would go if we're going Sports category uh Jack are you any good at baseball Mitch yeah he played high school was gonna play college yeah okay Jack Mitch JP Garrett Coupe I think you're off I think you're not giving enough credit to Garrett everything we've seen Garrett do he's relatively good at it like the way JP is saying like he can you can play most sports I've every sport we've done with Garrett his hand eye coordination is great yeah uh he can throw a baseball he can he can play golf really well I think I think you're sleeping on g a little bit I don't think he I think he's top three I think G is very skilled I don't think G would test well I don't think he test well I think but we're talking about sports yeah but I want I want cats who have range in every sport that we're playing like if we're playing baseball I need you to play The Outfield and cover ground like like yeah I'm sure G could be a good good pitcher I think G's very skilled but as far as like some of those a just the athletic stuff of running and moving and changing direction that's why I value that type of stuff more than being in place got yeah there's like a there's a scale that comes out every sport if you own a small business that tests all these things please please let us know there's like a have you heard of Raz relative athletic yeah that uh yeah they come after the comment there's they have like height weight measurement stuff that you can look up they try to like that measure your like how your number Rel yeah your relative athleticism yeah relative athleticism kind of what we're talking about relative athleticism if you want a benchmark I'm the only player in the last 20 years to score a perfect 10 but if you guys there's something to go off of if you guys want you're a great athlete you're an elite level athlete was was not anymore I just don't think my shoulder saw me throwing that pitch my knee I can't really run like that can't change direction like that anymore I've got a lot weaker I just don't think I'm holding to these young spry cats anymore these these young Bulls yeah they are some young Bulls man but I think you're up there with them you wouldn't give me the knot over them uh I think you would here's where I think I think if it really came down to an actual combine you're beating all of them handedly but I think for the next two weeks they're coming to work and they feel fine and you're dead yeah but we're talking about just we're talking about performing yeah we're showing up yeah then I think I give you the edge cuz I don't know if you remember back at the vanderbelt when you were pretty good at that changeing direction thing that you wanted to tell me about pretty solid I to change of direction that was the funniest that is fun looking back on dude yeah yeah um I would put you I would put you at the top before we wrap up the streets are saying that uh tier talk might need to make a comeback I'm down yeah just to put that just to float that out there some tier talk our teer talk this week could have been our uh bar stool yeah we gotta did tier talk today you got any dad any dad Dad's Being Up On The Scoreboard moments um see flip the girl that right let me put a hat on I would say my dad moment of the week just anything dude uh yeah I got a dad moment there was a very cool clip on our nanet that ton showed me when she was putting wind down and wi for those of you who have ever met wi is the most kind-hearted like truly like she's such a special Soul she cares about other people she's worried about other people's feelings like the kid just came out of the womb outstanding she's a lot like her mom and T was putting her to sleep and T wi just starts going saying how great of a mom she is she's the best mom that she could possibly have and they start talking about parents and stuff like that and then when said to TN she's like I love how you make people feel good and T's like how do you how do you know that I made people feel good she's like well I've seen you do it and she starts going over examples of times that talin made people feel good and to me watching a six-year-old have that kind of dialogue with her mother and just she was like years above like she was acting like she was 50 60 years old with this wealth of knowledge and I thought that to me was a very cool moment to watch a mother good awareness to see out of a six-year-old yeah crazy awareness to see out of a six-year-old now she drives me crazy sometimes because with all that beautiful emotion comes the other side where everything's the biggest deal in the world and that's difficult for me because we're not just going to get out of here without complaining a little bit about our kids right folks we not we got to [ __ ] a little bit but I think that was a very special moment I love that yeah I almost felt a little twinkle in my nose I know when I was walking through it yeah it's kind of kind of tough yeah I uh a little shout out to Ru there's this we have this book called old old hat new hat and her memory is I think special I don't know I could just be a biased father thinking that she's got some crazy memory but she can recite the entire book after a few times of reading through it like I I just think she's got a little something to her now when we were at State golden the other day and she made a little friend and rud does his thing where she has to hug and kiss everything like hug kiss a even the boys last week so she's like hug and then you hear kind of say kiss and there's kind of this Awkward Moment like I I wonder what the boys are going to do here Stephen kissed her and uh JP JP just leaned up with the cheek because she kind of just sits there but she made this friend at State golden and the the family was leaving and we're like R you got to say bye she's like hug hug and she like comes over and the the little girl I think she was four she like gives Ru a hug and Ru like hugs in and then you just hear Ru like on her breath go kiss and I'm standing there and this girl grabs her face and leans in they both you know you know how kids just kind of sit there they don't like know how to they don't pucker or nothing and she like grabbed her face and was going in and it was slow enough to I'm sitting I started laughing I was like all right hey hey and I'm just thinking like hey we we got to work on we're like driving home like uh Ru you know you just you want to kiss like people that are family that are you can't just kiss everybody you can't just kiss everything because she has to do everything like when we're putting her down at night she tries to negotiate like I gotta hug and kiss the stairs good night I gotta hug and kiss miss Rachel that's on that's no longer on the screen but you got to bring her up on pause so she can like hug give kisses so she has to hug and kiss everything so we got to kind of D that out yeah cuz she's starting to get a little starting to get a little loose with like everybody She's kissing yeah and it was hilarious she you don't want a Kissing Bandit for a child yeah she like hugs and you just he her kiss can we talk about one thing yeah Stephen kissed your kid yeah on the lips no he kissed on the cheek okay let me kiss her on the cheek cuz R goes after after like I'm holding her and she's like hug and she like leans in and then she goes kiss and then she's sideways so I'm kind of I'm kind of sitting there like I just going to go down cuz I know it's a I know it's awkward for the guy she did with JP and GP JP just kind of leaned and she just like put her face on JP's cheek because I'm thinking like I wonder if JP's gonna kiss her because I know that's like awkward but uh oh and also just you throw a little shout out to myself zero text to the wife about how to do how to handle things with Ru in the last nine days I feel like that is a stat that it's going to go you know not recognized or talked about just going to throw my sell some flowers there zero te that was one thing Charles said she was like you did you you had zero text to me cuz she talked about how her and the wives were kind of like talking out like oh it's kind of nice that the husbands aren't like texting us about like what to do and I'm like oh yeah you got you got yeah you got a good little deal back home that scoreboard is filthy for you right now filthy bro she came in kind of like uh what did she do she was like uh she asked about like the mail like oh I didn't like see something mail by the way I saw all of our all of our cards all of our the credit cards for for busing and uh I'm thinking like okay you noticed that I might not have checked the mail but you didn't notice that the that the uh little seat corner area over there no more boxes all the boxes gone in the garage I just start listing everything and she's like

it that way I am doing my job but either way your boy's intentional your boy starting to come around see the way you just I'm thinking to myself like you unfortunately like I catch myself throughout the week where I was like I'm going to like leave food out I'm going to do other things but I caught myself like cleaning up and doing all that and I'm thinking to myself like God damn it like I have been a little trained and domesticated but I'm thinking like okay yeah I guess I am just doing my job but [ __ ] like your boys your boy starting to your boy getting better your boy being solid I appreciate the progress yeah yeah yeah like massive progress massive but yeah the way you guess that is the standard that is the standard I yeah the way you painted the picture of charl I just see her coming home from France and putting her bag down and then immediately just SC like saying hi to R real quick and then looking all over the house just scouting the house you [ __ ] up I noticed you didn't get the mail checked that before I came in the house yeah she's like did you happen to see this I was like oh no I guess I didn't check the mail once throughout the week oh but that is Ness Some solid Some solid dad memories some very good core memories and here's the thing about busting with the boys folks if you are still somehow with us you when you I see you dealing with Ru and

never smoked a cigarette or nothing what's your drug life like yo yo my drug life just pretty clean marijuana these days yeah it's pretty marijuana diet yeah that's it bro barely I don't even I hadn't Drank in 3 months for real yeah what was there was there a reason for that or you kind of just like I just kind of want to get hard for a while and then I was like I just feel like I need to take a break and then so I took a break and now I'm just like oh I feel pretty awesome so I'm is that because of the road actually that was just cuz I was on vacation and I was just going ham and then I'm like oh I need to just I need a break and that was in like the beginning of December so y so you just been kicking it off since middle of December even through the holiday season yeah everything birthday all of it Cabo trip you know just getting after anytime you're in Cabo too like you get towards Mango Deck or you get some like squid row in those areas you're like I can't not drink not drink this is not a place for me not to to be sober is a ridiculous Concept in C good though man I'm I'm like I don't know if I'm gonna I'm not I'm not going to say I'm not going to drink anymore but it's just nice to like feel pretty awesome it's interesting like what's super wild to me is like playing sports drinking before your act your activity whatever your thing is is like a total Papa like in your world it seems like a couple drinks before you even go on oh it's like the the norm things to do nor oh yeah that's been my Norm for 12 years really you have a couple like take out the Jitters a little bit yeah do you still get nervous 12 years Still Getting Nervous later nervous maybe not but uh the excited butterfly feeling a bit still you know what I mean where you're a little bit just like I don't know if anxious is the word just excited a little bit so you got to get out there and kind of like calm it down what's your like uh you ever watched a show on breath yeah so like uh Johnny Drama he would do the auga before he did anything do you have like anything you do to like reset yourself like all right breaths cuz what happens is like your adrenaline gets going and it gets harder to uh your bre you know your heart rate goes up your breath your lung capacity seems to go down and so which is you need every bit of lung capacity to sing while you're like running around the stage so it's really about taking some deep breaths and trying to just like make sure you're at least calm enough to be able to my songs literally have no room for breathing so it's just about it's basically a lung workout the whole show so that's sort of what I so you got to really strategize a bit Yeah like if I start to feel like man I'm really struggling I'm sucking air right now I'll just like uh get my guitar and stand in front of the mic and sing a song or two to kind of like calm it down get yeah get back to neutral yeah yeah yeah you still get just as excited going out on stage because you've been doing it what for like over two decades yeah uh about 12 years total like as a professional yeah two decades he' been like 12 out there I'm just thinking you been like pH I've been 17 I'm getting I'm getting on up there I guess now but You' been you've been in the spotlight for of those years yeah for sure and it's still fun yeah I still get like the same I still get the same rush dude yeah yeah it's cool what's the process like when you're sitting there and like you're back starting out and Dealing With The Fame you're kind of playing clubs people aren't really listening and you're like man is this really going to be it to now you're doing theaters now you're doing Bridge Stone and all these like touring all over the world type stuff like how was that transition dealing with that type of Fame oh man good question bro it's it's what we uh apprciate that I would say it can be difficult for sure it's important to have for me it was important to have some support around me you know I also met my wife barely early on which was very grounding for me and she kept me very grounded and and I have some really good friends that I could kind of that remain constant and was kind of grounding but but it's definitely a journey it's a ride and if you're not careful uh all the typical things you think that can kind of take control will you know what I'm saying whether it's ego whether it's insecurity whether it's a substance whether it's just even for me like my biggest struggle is like overworking or like being a workaholic I'd say you know like having balance life work balance and all that it's it's a constant setting the intention and trying to stick with it and then checking yourself and making sure and this week is this week balanc is my next week balance so it's like you know I wear several different hats between artist songwriter husband dad and friend at times you know so I'm like all right am I is my is my week balanced in that in that way so is is Haley like a big piece of that making sure you're balanced uh yeah she is yep um cuz we're both trying to maintain that a bit bit you know like when you got three kids sometimes it can just be all about the kids and you and you realize oh my marriage is a little bit a little bit um off right now or we haven't invested in our marriage in the last few weeks we need to spent some time doing that or I hadn't written a song in a couple weeks so I need to go write some this week but yes like I said I just feel like I'm constantly looking at my calendar and saying all right is it is it fairly Balan am I pouring into each bucket correctly it's like okay I'm not necessarily pouring into the marriage I say oh man maybe I haven't been home kids oh maybe I'm not being in the studio as much yeah it seems like you got to juggle a lot of those different things you have to be intentional for sure yeah your go ahead I was going to say what was your insecurity when you were coming up say before you met your wife like you're exploding on the scene because you're right it's almost like you can go down any road you want to when you're becoming like a superstar like you can drink you can do all the different things you can there's women there's there's a status it's okay am I going to be at this award show like am I the man like what was your want to myself with yes people or people that I know are going to take care right I mean there's all that there's all those decisions along the way that you kind of have to make even if it's subconsciously I would say one of my biggest fears though was like being because you hear all the stories you know what I'm saying you hear the downfall of all the artists you come you know you come up here and about you know your icons and Al became you know becoming alcoholics or dealing with depression or not knowing how to manage or not or losing your friends in your community and feeling like you're alone even though you from from an outside perspective it looks like you got everything you ever want but I think that was like my biggest fear so I was pretty intentional on the way up of being like all right I want to have a successful music career but I also want to have a regular life and I want to make sure that I at the end of this at the end of this ride wherever this ride ends that I'm not just sitting there not knowing what to do like where to go from there like I want to have a family one day I want to have a healthy relationship with my wife I want to have I want to always be able have a glass of wine at dinner if I want to without having to worry about falling off right so it's just so so kind of just staying in check along the way was was big but I think that was a fear of mine which is also why I was um you know when I felt myself slipping or I felt myself headed down a road that I wasn't excited you know that I knew was a dead end I I would turn it around or get back on track or at least attempt to so yeah you bring up like when you bring up like yes men and you say do i r who do I want to surround myself with like I feel like anybody who's getting into whether it's music or sports or any sort of entertainment that is in a spotlight the most difficult thing to navigate is Yes man because no one likes being told you're wrong but when people say hey yeah you're on the right track you're doing this you're doing great at that it's so easy to fall into like oh maybe I am doing better than I thought I was doing or like taking more of the suggestion of the Yes man than the people that are trying to keep you in check that have your best interest involved like how did you when you say you were like really conscious about keeping those people out of your life how do you sniff that out man I don't I don't know I think it's a kind of a gut thing uh but what happens to me is like when I'm around those types of people I realize that their opinion is doesn't really matter much because they're only telling me what I want to hear they're not telling me all they're not always telling me truth so like when I could when I could tell that I had a friend or um my wife or a manager or somebody in the band that would shoot me straight mhm it only validated what they would say when it was positive right when they're like that's an awesome song you're not just telling me that's an awesome song cuz you want me to feel good you're telling me that cuz you're being honest and being truthful and it means a ton more so I just really drawn to the people that would be like hey bro I don't really love that song as much you know what I mean because I'm like oh all right I can take that because I know you're shooting me straight and the more success I had the more valuable those relationships became for sure MH how close are you able to talk about one of those situations where you did get close because you talked about going down different paths and realizing some could be dead ends is there a time like in your career where you're like man I really almost went off the [ __ ] wagon here I mean I think I got fortunate and uh without bringing too much spirituality into it I definitely feel like God was looking out for me because there were times where especially at the beginning bro like we were in a van just roughing it and literally just like drinking straight Jack Daniels every night popping an at off so we could drive to the next show like and just kind of getting into that lifestyle we just like man we're out here grinding but we're you know we're also partying you know you're meeting girls that you don't know you're uh you that was kind of short live for me but ultimately I saw pretty quickly like yo this could this could end in no telling what kind of consequences right like lifechanging scenarios here so again that fear would set in of like man I don't want that like like I've been here I've done that a bit so like fortunately like I said I met Haley early on like 2013 is when we met so I was already like in my mind I was ready to meet the I was ready to meet that girl I was ready to meet Haley because I was kind of over you know the scene and meeting random girls and trying to do that but um I think if I think if I was going to put a finger on a year it's probably 2012 2011 even 2010 when we were before we had a deal where we were just like grinding bro and we were you know just in a club every you know four nights a week getting drunk every night just to just to basically uh feel like you're surviving a little bit you know tasting the dream tasting the dream and roughing it and you know just you know you can imagine just being a young Thunder feel like you're doing what you're supposed to be doing feel like you got nothing to lose at the time so you're just you're just going for it you know and when you're in your early 20s dude a hangover is nothing they're nonexistent you wake up you're like like I feel kind of bad about myself I'm going to move forward I'm going boys doing I got to keep up yeah you want to be the guys not hey boys not me tonight I'm gonna go sleep in the van like oh come on bro and you're like that's all right one drink one drink eight eight beers later you're like all right I'm ready to play a show when you were hitting the van what was like the moment for you that you're FGL's Big Break like oh [ __ ] we're going to make it uh I would say in 2012 we were on a tour called the country Throwdown tour we were the only band that was in a van driving oursel around the country and it was a bunch of Acts on this tour and we were the barbecue band so to be on this tour we had to agree to play in the afternoon this was a summer tour as well so it was like 100 degrees every day we were playing at 2:00 then we load our gear up into a semi that was on the tour because we had a trailer that they made us leave at home cuz they they gave us a Kingsford barbecue grill and smoker that we pulled behind the van and we would play our show load our gear up again probably struggling from the last the night before so we're like you know hung over and then they give us a a pocket full of cash and say all right you got to go grocery shopping and get enough food for the whole tour with this money and you guys are cooking the hamburgers and hot dogs tonight and and we were the party like the life of the party so whenever anybody on the whole tour act crew band it didn't matter when they got done playing and they would come to where we were at where we were set up and we were cooking for the whole tour the whole rest of the night had the music blasting kind of like setting the pace for the party and uh it was a lot of fun but we were the first ones up and then we were the last one then we'd midnight would roll around or one o'clock we'd pour a bunch of water on the grill try to get it to go out we'd load up in the van like I said somebody pop an Aderall and we would just take off down the road literally sometimes there's still like Embers flying from the from the grill going down the interstate yeah and driving oursel around the uh the southeast and Midwest on that tour was that was the roughest that was definitely the roughest tour but at the same time to answer your question that was when we started to feel some traction and see people that was when Cru came out we started seeing people show up early to watch us play and sing the words and me and BK look at each other like bro bro there's like fans out here dude like holy cow and we're starting to feel the momentum and by the end of that tour we were like we thought we were the biggest thing on the tour but we were still you know we were like still grilling still grilling going bigly Wiggly trying to get everybody their food that's it dude dude that is who were there any notable acts like on that tour Gary Allen was like one of the headliners um airplane's great there was a few more um I think the year before Brantley Gilbert had done that but there was it's so long ago I can't even remember I just remember watching Gary Allen uh Josh Thompson was on that t that tour as well which I was a big fan of him um but Gary was the headliner so we were kind of watching and dreaming and taking notes from him you watch him what were the things how did he usually busy cooking but yeah I hear him from a distance was he one of those guys that turned in early or was he up no Gary would Gary would stay up yeah he was one of the last he'd come he'd get done then come over to our you know area and hang out and have a burger and do the thing yeah he wasn't afraid to stay up late like that you guys had all that traction like coming off that tour like what was the big break like what was the big moment where it's going from like oh damn people are showing up to our shows like be this is [ __ ] sick blah blah to like the big moment comes and you guys get you know whether it's a deal whatever it is to where your big break finally came I think there was a few moments for me this sounds a little silly but when I when I moved to Nashville I realized there was a there was a career called songwriting and I was like oh I just thought like everybody wrote their own stuff like you know what I'm saying so I realized pretty quickly like I think that's what I want to do so when I graduated college me and BK both we were just pursuing being a songwriter um and so in 2012 we signed our first deal and we signed a publishing deal which paid us $1500 a month and that was uh they basically asked what is it going to take to cover your bills and allow you to write full-time and it's about 1,500 bucks so at that point to be honest as weird as that sounds I remember feeling like I'm a professional songwriter now like I've done it here we go I can like I don't have to wash cars anymore like I can fully wake up and focus on writing songs which was a dream for me so that was probably the first like feeling like man I've made it bro like I'm a professional songwriter uh and then there was a moment I remember when we got our first tour bus that was also after being in Vans Sprinter vans we started out in BK's Tahoe you know so like when we got a tour bus to where we could actually lay down and sleep through the night and have a driver that was uh one of the biggest moments for us is like bro we've made it we got a tour so there's a lot of you know along the way moments where you look back and you know in hindsight you're like we we didn't have nothing really going but in our in our mind like we had made it yeah so take small steps man totally first you're driving then you're on the tour bus next you're flying next you're flying private like there's always like a new level Y is there when you start to have this level Ups And Downs of success like what to you is like the Pinnacle of reaching whatever new goal you have in your mind right now uh wait say that again right now right now during Florida Georgia Line during whenever you feel like cuz right now you're you're in a transition and coming off a great album going into a new album but like let's say the Pinnacle Florida Georgia Line where did you see did you see it going even further and where was that point oh man I think selling out stadiums is is obviously sort of the Pinnacle of uh where we took it where we thought it could go um where we dreamed of it going you know and uh we played I think when we did that tour where we it was a baseball stadium tour and it was uh Back Street Boys and Nelly were were opening for us oh [ __ ] so it was it was back street Nelly and and then us and it was just you know I was living out my wildest you know childhood dreams basically or Middle School Dreams being on tour with Nelly and then getting to see back street do their thing like it was just nostalgic for me and it was a pretty surreal tour so I would say that was one of those moments where I'm like bro it doesn't get any better than this man we got sold out stadiums and getting to play with some of our heroes and uh and you know to answer your question about if if we saw it getting any bigger I I don't know man I mean it the journey was kind of like the trajectory was insane at the beginning so it really just took us we just buckled up dude and kept our head I mean you guys exploded on the scene just like even because you you like did a collab with Nelly right yeah which was I remember that like that is you guys did explode on the scene quick so it's almost like you just went like a vertical line and just kind stayed there yeah buckle up bro so and then it kind of like most careers do it it uh it had to eventually slow down a bit and uh and it did and we had kind of our ups and downs and kind of some some great seasons and sort of some like oh that didn't hit as hard as we thought but uh for the most part man I mean that was just the wildest ride looking back I mean I wouldn't trade anything I wouldn't change anything um and it was just incredible but it really kind of set me up for what we're doing now you know being getting to kind of redo it and take everything I learned from back in the day and reapply it to the solo career and also getting to go back and like to where we fell in love with at the first time like these clubs and theaters and smaller venues that are super intimate and you get to connect with the fans and like uh because you lose that along the way like when you get in bigger bigger venues it's a lot more difficult and then it just becomes redundant cuz you go and you play the the same 50 venues over and over and over in amphitheaters and so to be able to go back and kind of reinvent myself slash reconnect with the fans and these cool clubs and stuff it's been like super super awesome and like giving me new energy so when you're on the trajectory you're at and you have those years where okay that didn't hit as hard as we thought it was going to like how how do you like navigate the ego in that situation because if you're on this crazy trajectory and you think it's going to keep going like this cuz inevitably we all think like oh this is going to happen Forever Until reality sets in when those luls did happen like what was your mindset of is it like hey I just got to work harder or was it like I think so and I had people on the come up that were like hey bro this ain't going to last forever I kept and and not a ton of people would say that but when it did it really stuck with me that you need to be prepared for when this is not doing what it's doing because it won't do it forever right so I was somewhat mentally prepared for the trajectory to somewhat level out um and it and when it did I I do think it motivated me uh for sure like I'm kind of a driven dude and and uh and probably more competitive than I like to give myself credit for but yeah to to have a little bit of a challenge or a struggle or to not or to try to understand why didn't that connect like we thought it would uh you know a lot of learning lessons along the way but I would say you know the ego thing uh I don't know man I I took it I took it in stride I think I think it was good for us to have little blows of the ego occasionally and keep us kind of grounded and then and then yeah nothing more um humbling than having to start all over again you know not from Ground Zero but pretty close to it so it's been uh last couple years for me have been um just a lesson A Life Lesson and humility and you know and taking and taking that um challenge head on you know what I'm saying I had a couple people tell me like well you can't come out of a band and then have a successful it's like never been done like nobody's had a big solo career after being a major career in a band so I heard that like two or three times and I'm like oh okay yeah let's go there the let's go yeah yeah that is true I mean it's like the example A lot of people are aware of due to the movie but uh uh Queen yeah Fred broke up yeah and Freddy kind of tries to do his own thing why why go the solo Why Florida Georgia Line Broke Up route like what what happen to be on the way with you and and BK that's like to where Florida Georgia Line can't be forever yeah good question I mean for me it was it was really unexpected uh but BK came to me and said man I'm really feeling like I I want to do a solo thing and I'm like really I'm like we were just getting out of our first deal we were kind of in a sweet spot that we had worked for 10 years to get to and I'm like bro like why don't we just ride this ride this thing out for like five more years 10 more years and then we can do the solo thing or whatever but yeah uh but again like I wanted to support him he he was adamant like no now's my time I really need to do this for myself and I'm like well hey whatever you need to do bro like what do you want from me he's like I just want support so I'm like all right you got it bro like we've had an incredible ride this is where it's going to go like let's do it and and crush it and you never know maybe it'll bring us back together and we can have a reunion tour or whatever but uh but it was he he definitely initiated the whole thing from the beginning and kind of when I say caught me off guard it wasn't that we had never mentioned it before it just one of those things where I didn't think then I didn't think it was going to happen then you know what I mean coming into a deal like you just said coming into a spot to where yeah just in a sweet spot just gotten out of our first deal able to kind of negotiate where we want to go from there and have a lot of freedom and we're in a great place um but yeah for him that was the right time and and for me I was like well I'll just again I kind of thought well I'll just stay in town and be a songwriter that sounds like a fun gig you know just 11 to three life and hang out with the fam at that point I had we had just had our third kid so I was pretty uh you know in the deep end on being a dad and figuring all that out so I was pretty preoccupied um but then a year or so later I was like man I really miss like making records I missed being on tour I missed the whole aspect of the artist life and so uh so yeah then I met I met my manager and felt really supported I was like man I'll dive back into this and see what I can do on and again like I said heard I heard that it couldn't be done a couple times and I was like man I'd like to try yeah so uh so yeah just sort of timing and life in general just sort of led us in that direction and uh something that now I'm really grateful for it's been a lot of fun rebuilding it's been a lot of fun like it's incredible doing something with your friend and having a partner but taking the dynamic back to the basics of just like me getting to be the leader that I like to be and um getting to do it on my own and getting to kind of kind of build culture around uh you know the type of culture that I want that I want to build um and you got to think about it when we started FGL we were like 23 years old bro like we like I we were just young dumb and on a mission you know what I'm saying and learning as we were going now I get to kind of take all that and kind of rebuild with that in mind and a little bit more maturity and a little bit more uh gratitude and humility and all that makes for a makes it for a fun a fun ride when you're first like presented with hey I want to go on my own solo route like is your first reaction oh I'm gonna support you or is it the natural yeah like first re you're just like hey busing we're not I'm just thinking what what's going on it be like me going to you right now be like hey well I know it's a contract year but honestly I'm a year yeah you're just like you'd be little need support as your friend I need your support and you're just like okay support youie of [ __ ] I mean the human nature like anybody who essentially like if you're together for 10 years like there's a level of divorce like you guys are in a marriage essentially and then you're not the one approaching the person about leaving right there's got to be some type of like yo are you all the work I did all this me I supported you like where we came from where we've been I put those Burgers right I those burgers yeah you were just the toppings guy right there was definitely uh a period of time where I was just like confused and I'm just like bro like why like why now and I even told him we had good conversations around it like even like being real vulnerable I'm like bro is it not like I I feel like I'm not enough for you like you know what I mean like honestly it felt like a divorce where you're like bro and BK had this thing where he's like no I still want to do Florida Georgia Line I just I just want to do the solo thing too you want to open relationship and I had to tell him I go bro from an emotional standpoint I said I know this is dramatic but this is what it feels like it feels like we're in a marriage and everything's great and we love the benefits but you want to go sleep with the neighbors and come home at night and me be cool with it and just like jump back in bed and everything's cool and blah blah and I said emotionally it feels like that bro like I can't I can't do both I said I'm going to give you the choice but it's either Florida Georgia line or solo career cuz also I don't have capacity to like do two careers and I said it's also like super it's going to get super sticky like when we're writing songs who are we writing for when when we got two show offers an FGL date and a solo date like what are we taking here so like I'm just like I don't even logistically see how that would work much less emotionally so like unless BK opens for both of you right the point of writing like who's hey that's a banger we thinking we're going to use that one thing I did know is like yo it takes every ounce of creativity and and energy that we got to keep this thing going and we've always poured all of our energy into this so like to think that we can only pour half of our energy into this and expect it to do anything is a little bit naive and then I also told him I'm like bro if you want to be a solo artist you don't deserve to give yourself 50% and I don't deserve 50% of you so it's either you give me 100% or you give yourself 100% of you so you can go Crush but there's no like we're not just going to half ass both things so so for me it was that's kind of where my that was my one boundary you know I was like yo I'm all about it dude like whatever you need to do but here's my boundary and so kind of gave him the choice and he chose to go do the solo thing and at the time like you said I was kind of like man like dude like this sucks bro like we built look what we've built you know what I'm saying together like you and me you know what I'm saying and uh so yeah there was definitely some weeks of kind of like healing I would say you know what I'm saying like we had talks with therapists and life coaches and we kind of sused it all out together are separate together that's awesome yeah it was legitimately a marriage Yeah the more you talk about it it's like yo and I therapy right right right I compared it to that quite a bit because other than the sexual side of things it was very similar to our marriages where you're just like you know it's a commitment it takes work it takes dedication you know it's all the things when it comes to a partnership uh especially at that capacity you know so it was it's been interesting to navigate but it's also been fun and look in hindsight now I'm like grateful for where we're at grateful for that ride grateful for the new you know ride that we're on and uh you know wouldn't have ever done it if he hadn't initiated it so at the end of the day I kind of just sort of grateful that he did you know right so the way I'm picturing this in my head is you're in a 10-year marriage everything seems good comes home honey listen I love you but I think we should make this uh marriage open you're like I'm not going to do that you have to make a decision the decision's made you're going through a divorce essentially and you think in your mind I'm never going to get married again AKA I'll be a songwriter I can kind of fade off in the distance I've had all this success and I can go make money making this catalog because that's where a lot of the money's at how long was that process before you're like you Trials And Tribulations Of Going Solo know what [ __ ] this dude enough people have said the solo acting can't happen like if he's going to go do it I can go do it too and in your mind everyone's in competition right probably do that better also I think it was eight months or so somewhere six or eight months is not a ton of time went by but enough for me to really process take my time be patient and then the kicker was when I met my manager because before I felt really alone right and I knew uh I just felt by alone I mean I just didn't have tons of support I didn't feel like I had a team around me I felt super alone and I knew like definitely been in the game long enough to know like you ain't doing it on your own you got to have a good team around you so when I met my manager I felt super supported and I was just like you know what I think I could do this especially with the help of this management team um and I had already been writing a bunch of songs at that point too so I also had a good stack of songs where I'm like and I can like make a record tomorrow so like why not give it a shot you know but it did take that that like meeting him and feeling like all right I'm not alone in this I have support team I have somebody I can bounce ideas off of cuz BK was a lot of that for me coming up we'd bounce ideas off each other um and so when that was kind of gone I'm like man I don't I don't know how to do this by myself so Sports Talk yeah talk about that fear of failure because I would it's like literally top of the world to we just went through this divorce that that probably took a while there's probably friction and everything else takes eight months of the kind of the emotional healing of it all and kind of seeing everything for what it is like hey I got you know I kind of want to move on I'm writing I like it now I'm kind of getting that itch to yeah I kind of want to perform but talk through that fear of failure you're like okay I'm going to go back out there and yeah man like falling flat on your face it's it's we we all have it it's like you we have this ego built up from like our Glory Days right and it's like I'm about to put myself back out there talk a little bit about that fear failure getting back in it I mean there was definitely a little bit of fear involved and I would say for me I had to mentally just say like yo do who you doing this for you know what I'm saying like you doing it for you or you doing it for some other reason so I had to really just say like if I'm writing songs that I'm loving if I'm recording and I'm proud of my art then that's all I can do right so like whether it's as big as FGL it probably won't be because not many artists have ever been as big as FGL so it's like I had to kind of just accept like this might look different for me but I want to go uh write songs that I'm passionate about that I love that might connect with other people and and start playing shows again also you know I also had so much more to live for right so it wasn't like do or die with the music thing it was like man let me just go enjoy making music and playing shows and just enjoy it and not worry about having to be the best all the time uh because then I was getting to come home to three kids a great wife so in my in my perspective I was like yo I'm already I'm winning man like even if the music thing isn't uh as big as FGL or trajectory doesn't take off like crazy like I'm proud of my album I'm proud of who I am I'm proud of how we've handled the situation and I'm proud to come now I get to come home to a great family and and this is how I want to continue to support them you know and I had to do something I mean writing songs would have supported my family but uh but it just seemed like a piece of the puzzle not not the whole puzzle so yeah there was I had to step into that a bit and be like hey if I fail I'm gonna learn from it get back up and keep crushing and and not put too much pressure on myself uh trying not to let my ego drive this thing and uh you know remember what life's all about yeah at one point it seems like at least the way I would think is I'm going to go through my morning process but then the thing that's going to get me out of that bed is Revenge the best revenge is massive success right and then it's like okay I got to check myself and be like maybe maybe don't do it for those reasons then all the things you just said yeah man when you were when you did those eight month eight months of like writing songs and you're like okay I'm going to go do this solo act now you and BK show shouldering the burden of being a lead together what were some of the things that BK maybe have done more in FGL that you thought okay I know that he did this for the most part and how do I pick up that slack on my end becoming my own individual person um good question bro I'd say he he was a lot of the times he was like the funloving like funny guy like light-hearted uh brought a lot of good energy to a room you know everybody uh loved to be around BK especially for the most of our career he was just like and I might have been more like uh I don't know maybe a little bit less of that person so so I'd say there were times where he was a great leader and those types of things and I was able to um sit take the backseat a bit you know and even subconsciously because I was more the lead vocal and more the face at times I I would subconsciously step out of certain roles more to allow him to to step into certain roles so that hopefully it was well balanced you know what I mean um and so so now you know taking on all the roles and putting all the I guess the pressure or all the responsibility on my shoulders was definitely new MH um but also again it was great because it allowed me to step into those roles that maybe I hadn't fully stepped into before the to the best of my ability yeah and so now I'm able to kind of lead the way that I'd like to be a leader create culture that's not always worrying about like am I stepping on someone my partner's Toes or am I overshadowing my partner too much by investing in these people's lives or those types of things so it's been interesting to kind of navigate and like and and see how that's uh that's something I didn't even know like until I was in it I didn't even know that like oh yeah like I remember like not really investing as much into this because I didn't I didn't want to look like I was trying to just like always you know like do too much to try take too much tell you can tell you've thought a lot of this stuff through I really appreciate and like respect kind of your perspective on all cuz I'm sure it was as much as well as you can explain it right now I'm sure it was just such a like process to get to a lot of these awareness points and everything else totally and especially y'all remember like what 2020 was like 2021 I mean it was chaos yeah in all aspects of life so like before we even decided to do this we had already been off the road for like a year and a half like wondering are we ever going to play shows again like what's going on with our career then the political thing the political narrative came out that me and him were so different polarizing you know politically and a lot of people had these false narratives about why this was even happening because we weren't super upfront with the fans um from the beginning and so that was also a little unfortunate where I'm like I'm in the backseat thinking like no guys like that's not really the situation or not really the case like but you can't control what people are thinking or saying so you just kind of got a ride with it and just stick to your truth and just and let it be so that was an interesting just an interesting few years of I mean we all kind of went through just an interesting like how do we navigate the pandemic how do we navigate all these factors in our culture at the time so it was a it was a confusing and hard time but grateful for it and it seems like yeah when all these narratives and all these like false things of why you guys are breaking up or mutually parting like how did you Telling People About The Break Up like you obviously want to say something like did you go and hit the people up you're like hey can I say this I felt like it was not really my uh I don't want to say responsibility but it wasn't my role I felt like and I felt like it was something that um I wanted to be K to do and I felt like it was his I didn't want to take that from him I didn't want to be like no here's the situation guys blah blah blah blah blah yeah so I kind of just sat back and I kept telling BK bro we need to like I'd really love for you to tell the fans like what's going on like tell them your heart tell them what we're doing tell them why we're doing it tell them give them I said because we want our fans to join us on our new Journey we don't want them to just yeah just end with FGL and wonder what whatever happened with FGL and when's FGL coming back it needs to be a transition and these fans we built for the last decade they they can come with us if we allow them to and open the door and give them context but otherwise they're just confused and they're angry yeah we're just sitting in the back and they'll assume everybody makes up stories in their heads so that was happening a lot and and kind of still does because we still haven't really you know it's not like me and BK have sat on sat down together and told the world like the real ins and outs because I still think me and him both still have different somewhat different narratives in our head about how it unfolded but uh but ultimately we didn't talk about it very candidly from the beginning so it allowed a lot of that kind of like people to make up stories and you know this and that right and then you throw politics in the middle of it and everybody just then it's an easy target for everybody be like oh yeah well it's we see why they broke up you know and it's like well really had nothing to do with that but yeah whatever you know yeah is this probably one of the how how often have you spoken this openly about that whole situation just a few times yeah yeah inside most people are uncomfortable talking about it really yeah F just because I don't know why I don't know if it's their uncomfortable it's your personal business and for you to sit with a microphone in your face and for me and will to be like so tell us about your breakup yeah it's got a it's a you're essentially opening yourself up to not only us but everybody listening right it's therapeutic for me honestly like at this point especially it's been like three and a half years so I've like you said will I've really processed a lot um and so to talk about it is just another part of the process for me and uh I'm kind of an open book I don't mind talking about it we might have to almost like somebody like I'm just picturing like if I'm like chilling with them there's not a level of VI that's that wants to like hey so so what happened because it almost you'd almost think the outsid or a third party perspective would just be like oh I probably ended badly and it might it might not be going as great as it once was because FGL was so high so you almost like you almost don't want to open up something that might be close to you where it's like okay yeah I don't want to I mean navigate you and I have known each other for what four years and so I was your friend during all that and I never once for that exact reason be around you knowing all this stuff's going down but in my head I'm like I don't want to hey so Tyler so what's going on with all this because you just don't want to put your friend in that position you're like you don't know how people handle it you know you don't know if people are more of an open book that like to talk about things or maybe they like to keep it all in but for me I I appreciated and enjoyed when my real friends would be like hey bro like you doing all right bro you doing good like yeah how you feeling man cuz this [ __ ] is not easy you know what I'm saying and and I'd be like you're right it's not easy and I'm doing okay but here's my you know but I'm frustrated or this or that so right so we had and again that was during the time where we weren't able to see anybody we weren't able to go really hang out if you remember it was all just like virtual dates and virtual rights you know emotions were high people didn't want to talk about anything that could potentially be touchy or controversial or or the exact opposite only wanted to talk about that right it was like one of the two right you're right you're right so there was a lot of that going on but uh yeah I had some some good buddies that you know I kind of leaned leaned on and um kind of like you know helped me process through it all we should do is get a couple years down the road get you and BK on here hash it out just hash it out therap therapeutic sessions with Willie and orist out Partners to Partners yeah you do you guys talk anymore it's pretty FGL Reunion minimal now bro I don't I don't know if BK needs some space or what but I I still try to reach out on text and stuff but but hey congrats on this yeah that's what I do yeah just congrats on the new song or whatever whatever but uh there's not a whole lot of engagement at this point to be honest you feel like FGL will get back together for a reunion some point down the road it's really hard to say yeah you know if I'll never I'll never say never but a lot of stuff would have to change to be honest a lot of Dynamics would have to there'd have to be some real long open conversations yeah had some healing would have to be done for sure before that ever happened yeah hopefully you guys both just go solo AC I man bring it back I still I really yeah exactly that'd be kind of cool I'd love that like narrative honestly even if it's 10 years down the road like that's why I really wish the best for BK I hope he has a huge solo career cuz yeah if we both have big careers and come back and do something cool together I think it could be biger huge be awesome remember what we were bitching out back in the day like so DB like hey I'm sorry both of them are probably like I'm sorry for doing I'm sorry never heard nobody yeah no he knows I tell him I'm like bro I'm always here bro if you ever want to like talk grab coffee like go on a hike like I'm I'm here bro I'm not mad at you uh so it's good I think he knows he knows where I'm at and he knows that I'm doing my thing but I'm I'm still here for him yeah talk about do you had something to go I was going to say so eight months down the road you start this your management team comes to you like how First Solo Album quickly because you said you had songs in the bank so you do an album tomorrow how quickly did that process get started um it was pretty quick bro once we hit the gas I mean it was like let's start recording music let's start setting up strategy what I loved about my new team was it was everything we do is super intentional so like strategic everything yeah so it's fun to really sit down all right what are we going to do here what's the goals how do we want to you know reintroduce you to the world like what I found was a lot of people didn't really know who I was like as far as like who Tyler hubber is as a person they thought they knew Florida Georgia Line even in town you know like we had a reputation people just assumed I was BK and BK was me and we were one unit and we were the same and they also assume that we never changed in 10 years you know what I mean that we're still just these right crazy wild you know same 23 year olds egotistical Timber boots and a lot of denim and they're like exactly cut off sleeves and and a bunch of ego like we were 23 years old even when we were 30 right it's like so and that was probably part of partially our fault but what I but I didn't realize that until I stepped into the solo thing and and it took me a minute to reintroduce um myself to to not only the world but to Nashville and to the music community and and um kind of say like hey you guys know the 23y old Tyler but now I'm 34 years old and I you know I'm a different person and and I want to introduce who I am now and here's the music I'm working on and uh so all that was kind of like a blessing too if you know in hindsight cuz you're like man man like if we were still doing FGL like we might just still be known as the 23y old party band Du you know so um again it's just another one of those kind of blessings along the way that I got to re reintroduce myself and kind of rebuild my reputation that's more authentic to who I am at this point you know yeah dude I'm so fascinated to kind of know about um the behind the-scenes stuff of the business of music because Behind The Scenes Of The Music Business like you you alluded to it earlier you're like oh they're pay me you know how much does it take to cover your expenses a month or something like that and if you're a big brain thinker you're like oh man Tyler he has no clue that he's an incredible writer and if we're just dishing him 1,500 bucks a month for him to pump out songs that we might use that they might use and then you also alluded to oh we're we're about to be out of this first deal to where we're kind of set up for whatever we want to do and then now you're talking about you know I'm sitting in these meetings we're talking about strategizing how am I going to reintroduce myself can you talk about some of that behind the scenes stuff with FGL cuz it seems like you guys just exploded people saw like oh [ __ ] these guys are going to be massive let's put enough Dollars around them that we need to capitalize on we'll throw FGL house down downtown we'll do all these things you're not in the strategy meetings can you talk about that at all yeah I mean the music business is crazy bro and I think that's why I love it and it's never it's always changing so like for example when we signed our first record deal in 2012 there wasn't even streaming back then you know what I'm saying which feels like forever ago but spot Spotify there was no Spotify there was no Pandora there was no Apple music I mean it was Apple it was where you go and buy songs yeah you remember that felt taboo because you'd still just lime wire right either stealing the music or you're going and buying an album right and that was and that changed pretty quickly like 13 14 or so is when that streaming really became a thing so even that as a as an example or like you know you create this whole record deal around this whole business model and then all of a sudden the business model changes and there's new Revenue being created from streaming that's going to the label that they didn't even account for in the original deal so like for them it was a huge win but but yeah bro like the music that's why I love the music business because soon as you get it figured out it changes and you're just like okay but it's also super complex and complicated and I even went to school for music business bro I went to Belmont study that was my major music business and I uh I probably could have learn more in school to be honest myself but but I still felt like pretty green bro got that but I still pretty green and I'm still like even to this day I'm figuring it out you know but it's a lot of fun because it is so intricate and there's so so many layers you can kind of unfold unpeel and and uh from the Publishing Company side of things to the record label side to the management side to development side and artist side I mean there's just a lot of uh intricate little yeah things so it's a uh it can be a scary business just because you never really fully understand it all right but it's also fun it keeps you on your toes cuz it's not it's not static it's not would there be friction with the label like when the new Revenue would get generated from like the streaming service and be like okay well Pressure From The Label I mean contractually they have the rights to do this X Y and Z but right come on give me a little PE yeah let me get a little PE a ton we had a pretty good Dynamic and relationship with our uh record label through our whole career probably because we were making them so much money uh but it was good you know and we had a kind of the relationship where they were a little more like behind the scenes and we would go and do our thing creatively and then just turn in our projects and ask them for our needs and they would usually give us what we needed and it was kind of cuz sometimes you get too many cooks in the kitchen you know that people want to be involved and it can get really it can get more difficult cluttered up everybody's opinions music is so objective and opinionated that it's just sometimes it's like no we just want to keep a tight circle of creatives that we love and trust and we're going to have you know our manager our producer and basically me and BK we're going to make the decision and execute all the things and then we'll we'll turn it in and the label will will you know exploit it or work it or however you want to look at it but uh so for that but I do talk to artists friends of mine you know that it can just get so um diluted and confusing and uh kind of over complicated for sure so it's a it's a complex thing but we we we got pretty lucky along the way to be honest we never we never had that but I set the I set the stage really early the first label meeting we ever had I was like look again this is that 23y old ego coming out but I was like hey guys we don't even need y'all me and BK got this and we're going to build and we're out here building fans and building a career if you guys want to be a part of our career then you're welcome to join us but you're going to do it our way and we're going to learn from you guys but you guys aren't going to dictate what we do you're not going to try to change us tell us what to do none of that's happening here so if you guys want to sign us just know that ahead of time and and literally that kind of stood the test of time and they really kind of like resp sound like ego sounds like good it was a little bit of both but it was like beneficial ego right or whatever like yeah just the ego you need just the amount of confence like set the stage for what's to happen because a lot of times artists don't know who they are what they want to do or nothing like that and it makes it easy for labels to come in and somewhat manipulate or you know think they're going to mold somebody into what they want a lot of times that doesn't just just doesn't work well so it was nice to have that already kind of in place with your process and like setting that tone did you ever run into like the label being like hey maybe you I should make the song a little more x y and z a little more poppy a little more like this cuz this is what's in right now this is what the rage is this is what's labels do do that for sure but for some reason in our scenario it was they just trusted us and I think I don't know if we spoke this out loud but it was sort of that understanding of you do it our way until it don't work and then we'll listen to your way mhm and fortunately for us it always kind of worked so we never had a real like creative dispute or kind of you know we didn't really butt heads too much it was very much like okay whatever you guys want to do we'll do it and it most of the time it worked out there was a few times where they push on a single I mean we did have we did butt heads once or twice um and But ultimately it worked out but for the most part I was thankful it was just like Hey Y'all let us do our thing and we'll let y'all do your thing what was the single they pushed on it was one of the last singles I think wanted us to put out a little bit as a single at country radio which was basically a hip-hop song and it and we knew it was going to be our last single and I was just like I'd rather not put that single out because radio is first of all not going to play this song secondly I don't want to end on a hip-hop song I want to I want to end strong on a great country song you know we got an album full of country songs so that was a little bit of like that was a little frustrating um because ultimately the label has the power to do whatever they want to do really end of the day so you have you have your voice they're like like we have they kind of pulled that card and did their thing and and that's why I'm not right now but but it worked out yeah it worked out it was great when you talk about the strategy of like rebranding yourself 34y Rebranding As A Solo Act old Tyler hubber to the entire world like what went into the strategy like how obviously you're uniquely yourself and you know who your yourself is but how does one show themselves in the light they want to be shown to the world well yo I first of all had to go on a deep dive myself because think you know yourself took a journey a long yeah me and Rogers Malibu dude talking to God just having a journey uh but no dude I sat I sat uh I spent some time like really diving into like who I am now how do I want to be portrayed how do I want to present myself what's important to me what do I want to say in my music what do I what what do I want my music to make people feel like you know and ultimately uh it was it was a really good time of self-discovery you know what I'm saying where I was like okay it felt like I knew myself well at that point but I had to kind of vocalize it and because I think even me even myself would kind of fall to that uh holding up the reputation that we might have had you know what I'm saying of like well I can't do this and that within FGL because it's not what FGL does so when the when the Slate was kind of wiped clean and I was able to just like really sus it out and take some time to think about it um again I have I had a great life coach that helped kind of like navigate that with me um once the song started like coming together I mean I probably had a pile of like 30 or 40 songs that that I really loved but like narrowing it down to an album and figuring out okay I want it to be dynamic diverse I want people to know that hey I still like to have a good time but I love my family I'm a man of faith I like to you know I like to write songs from the heart too you know there's I lost my dad when I was 20 so let's touch on that like letting the fans in on my on a little bit more of who I am and where I came from my story was something I had never got to do before you know cuz usually you know when you got a partner and you're in a you're in a group you don't get as personal with it you know um just again just for that Dynamic aspect so that everything we do is like an us thing so so that was it was really fun to dive in and be like man who am I and what do I you know what do I want to leave what's my legacy you know do I want to I don't want I think FGL is just like chapter one you know and so um so yeah it was cool to kind of go there and and figure it out and I feel like now people probably know the most authentic version of who I am and uh it's been fun to kind of figure that out when you're a when when you go in this deep dive and you come back what is how did your management team publicly display you okay you're man of Faith Family Man uh write Songs From the Heart lost your dad when you were 20 mhm is was there like a strategy that went into okay we need your social media is going to look like X Y and Z or kind of because there there is a level of like to change your reputation you need to First change it yourself and then present it to the world so how does how does the management team present it to the world well first of all I I'll never forget one of the first meetings I had with the management team was um I sat down with them and they had a they had like a two-page paper full of questions mhm that were like some were surface level some were like really hard questions like who are you like what do you what do you want to say to the world like really hard questions that I like sat with and live with you know so they were getting to know me through that process but I was getting to know myself in that current current state in that current time and so once we sort of established that and they had a good grasp of like who I am my personality what what kind of like personality traits we wanted to leaning on that were you know um really who I was it was fun to kind of to kind of strategize together but a lot of that came with sitting down with the town if you will and just face tace meetings man just playing on my new music sharing with them my heart sharing where I was who I was and then um just trying to be fully me you know there's a there's a lot of different sides of who I am but it was fun to kind of and it took time dude I mean we spent weeks you know they' set up me meetings with all the dsps individually so I'd sit down and um just sort of reintroduce myself very very literally in a sense of like you know I know you guys know me from FGL but here's who I am and where I'm at now in life and um we got to say and it says win the town uh or win the room win the town win the world so we literally started in a room you know what I mean and and slowly but surely we but like we were winning the room and then it would then we were winning the town and and now we're in the world trying to right you know as a as a process strategy as opposed it doesn't happen overnight either it's just you know one thing at a time so that was kind of our Mo was probably awesome too like once you start playing for everybody like them seeing the reaction the positive reaction to your new music because yeah you're getting to know yourself which is a very vulnerable state for anybody to be in to do that and to be like all right well now I'm about to step out here in front of everybody like let's go [ __ ] see see if they let's see if they resonate yeah putting out that first single playing those first few shows you know you're just like well hope they dig it hope they're coming to the show not just that but walking into the room with like you're a guitar be like all right guys I'm G to play some of this new music a bunch of Suits sitting there like give us your best shot brother yeah that's got to be nerve-wracking kind of w that's for sure yeah it's definitely let me do that again let me hit that one more time but it was fun God good challenge so the first album comes out it see like it seemed like it was doing really well I don't follow ratings or anything like that were you surprised happy like what was your first like your emotions towards your first album solo album that came out I was pumped bro yeah the first single went to number one and I think that was sort of like okay okay there you know I still have a spot at country radio they're still you know they're behind me they're backing me I felt more and more support so with more and more support just came more momentum and more uh confidence you know what I mean um and then I dropped my album and it was received really well and then my second single came to country radio and it went to number one and uh again it was just like okay all right we I'm back in the game baby I'm you know and I'm competitive I got a I got a slot at country radio because it is a super competitive there's so many artists out there that are trying to get that spot you know what I mean so it was really nice to be like okay I still got support from country radio the fans are resonating with the music uh at the time you know last year playing tons of shows and watching every night just kind of grow and grow and grow and uh just kind of took that momentum into my next project and at this point I'm feeling like man I've kind of found my stride I'm in a Groove um the fans are showing up and it's just steady growing and watching it grow is is fun yeah all for you too yeah which has got to be a a unique feeling yeah for sure when you look at your this album what like obviously the songs are going to be different but what is the different vibe between this new album coming out and your last album uh this one's probably it's a little shorter I say this album is kind of created for the fans and uh I've been saying this but it's so true like last year was the first time that I met my fans like my personal fans like in person and got to play show a show for them and watch what's resonating see what's connecting see what's working see what's missing you know so I was at the same time that I was out playing all these shows I was also taking mental notes and being like all right going straight back to the bus and starting to write songs that were like I feel like this could use this or I feel like I want to play something like this live or I think the fans really dig this and so we kind of reverse engineered this project and it's uh it's just made it's just a fun project it's really made to play live and it's it's really for the fans where my first project my first album was the sole purpose was to introduce myself you know and to say here here's who I am face name songs you know it's very just cut and dry I mean you can even look at the album cover it's like face name songs you know it's like so so now it's a little bit like okay now we know each other now let's let's have some fun with it so yeah it's feeling good song for the fans you talk about writing like like going right from a venue into the bus yeah and getting after it you hear like um when all the breakup and stuff is going on there's all Nashville's a small town so everyone's whispering to everybody else's business and I always heard like that is the guy he really writes all the music he's really the guy the writer and so how hard like what is your process Favorite Collaborations like writing is it does it come very naturally to you writing it does yeah it does and I've been doing it for so long and I just love like living in Nashville and being around so many epic songwriters you know what I mean and getting in the room and collaborating and just writing songs and a lot of times you know I've written with no intention you know just to write a song to write a song and see where it goes to like hey this song's for us let's try to be very intentional with with this song we want to record this song and then I've also especially lately I've been doing tons of wrs with other artists which is probably one of my top favorite things to do is try to like you know I guess pull from another artist like what do you want to say what do you basically hang the dartboard is what I call it and then sit there and try to hit Bullseye with with the song and so and when you when you hit a bullseye and you leave that day you just feel so like fulfilled you're just like man that I think this is going to be perfect for this artist hopefully this artist now can have a a big old hit and they can have a career you know and so that's really feeling for me as a songwriter but uh but yeah when it comes to writing for me it did take a little bit of time to kind of like shift The Narrative and think okay I'm not writing for a band I'm not writing for FGL This is a whole another thing so what do I want to yeah what do I want this to be how do I get to know this artist and bring out what they're wanting to say yeah bro I sit in the room and just start asking questions for a little while before we even get get going right and I'm just like all right like what's next where you where do you want to go what kind of song do you want to you know do what do you need you know when are you recording next what's your project sound like you know just cuz if you're writing if you don't set the intention then you can write a great song and it can be like a great song that completely doesn't fit what they're doing so sometimes right it's important but who are some of those guys you like to write with the most yeah that's yeah you know a lot of those guys I was I was want to know who his favorites were or not favorites I'm sure he loves them all but T loves them all but we're going to talk yeah there a couple collaborations you really enjoyed man there's some good ones dude Chase McGill comes at the top of Mine He's A A buddy of mine that's just super talented my producer Jordan Smith he's a lot of fun to write with I've been writing with him for years and he's just uh become quite the songsmith um Michael Hardy sorry hardy hardy yeah he is he is one of the best in my opinion we've been writing for a long time was the first day I heard his first name too I know Michael I know I was like is that and okay all right it that's when uh snow he's a uh Ernest sorry he's a sick he's a sick riter I knew that one that's an OG throwback right right uh there's a lot bro I mean there's some Legends Rodney Clawson and you know Craig wisman people that believed in me coming up I still love writing with them and look up to them a ton but like I said there's this town's so full of great writers dude it's crazy Josh Miller comes to mind he's one of the greats Casey Brown producer writer that I love just nameing them all so we're going to keep going so nobody gets the feelings hurt here we don't forget anybody Ernest dude he seems like I mean that's the one that comes to mind for me always as far as s would be a lot of fun in the room with yeah they can they can both do anything they can do rap rock country really well really well yeah emo emo album I always tell people I'm like bro y'all don't even know y I got a I got a phone full of songs that y'all ain't never heard that are going to blow your mind that this is earnest right he sounds like that he's been on me he's been on me about releasing that em no that we did in Super Bowl with him oh I know he uh he hit the chat recently oh did he I think we got a reason to have him back on too oh do we yeah yeah yeah new album no oh we'll talk about yeah yeah not in front of Tyler no no no we can't in front of Tyler I'm just we don't want to give the fans the people yeah you're right you're right it's only if we can cut it you're totally right yeah but the earnest that dude this the shitty pulls out of his ass out of nowhere to me is like so impressive and the the uh like the fear like you know it's like singing in to somebody just on a whim it's kind of like nerve-wracking even I don't sing but I'll do it but I get nervous and Ernest will just kind of just start singing for no reason sometimes out of nowhere it's you're kind of just like you know and just like like oh okay I guess we're in it he'll sing like not 10 seconds he'll sing two and a the whole song the whole song like are we we enjoying ourselves yeah he's a he's a beast bro he really is it's been fun watching him come into his own and like you know do his thing he's got album coming out sim more time as you too does he yeah great I believe nobody's going to even hear shouldn't have said I I know ear he got like 26 songs on that thing when does uh when's your new album come out April 12th April 12th let's [ __ ] goest comes out April 11th right around the corner come on bro [ __ ] block I don't know when it is I know it's it's a summertime but April 12th is there anybody else on the album is it just you just me man no collaborations yeah but I'm about ready I need to dive back into the collab world I've been pretty intentional about I've said no to a lot just cuz I'm like it's not time I still need to like basically get my own two feet plant it in the ground and then we can get back to making some music how do you sift through that in your mind of like doing a collaboration like if a guy like you know Hardy or jelly or these other guys that you know have had the solo act for a little bit Yeah that would help you get there faster I think it's all about the song I think the song's got to be great first and foremost and then it's got to be about timing and then and then they got to have a good team mhm or I'm not really interested because I've been there and done that and if you don't have a good team or you don't have an artist where the strategy lines up timing wise it can be difficult you know so uh so those three things have to check out check off the list and then uh and then yeah to me it's mainly about the song though it's got to be it's got to be a killer song got be a banger y man but Hardy's got a bunch of them he's somebody I'd collaborate with ear I mean all those guys I'd work with it's just got to be the right time right how do you say how do you politely say no to somebody that you know I'm pretty direct at this point yeah I'm just like hey for me right now I hope you understand but but but I'm being intentional about doing no collaborations I've said no to a bunch of people and unfortunately like right now timing wise is in this is something I can do you know yeah most people understand I mean you know there's been no hard feelings yeah I got I get shot down all the time but yeah I hear no all the time too so trust me I'm pitching songs left and right if you ain't comfortable hearing no then you ain't G to make it in the music business right right that's a good point yeah dude I do got to say I'm excited to listen to your new album especially like sitting with you and listening to you talk through all this stuff really appreciative of you being open about it all and you can tell you've went on kind of the journey with it all just touching on a lot of like like the therapy words of talking through it like we we've sat in we've sat with therapists and stuff like not like me and him together maybe we should may can too but yeah no for real I'm really excited to uh listen to your new album man and thank you for coming of course thanks for having me it's been a long time coming long time coming excited to be here we'll have to get you on after too let's do it three months down the road let's check in y's that bring BK yeah yeah yeah we should do that eventually when when the time is right right when the time is right oh and make make another Vlog working out remember when he did the workout Vlog for that's right bro got your assri down theb own it though sometimes I I drive past that field and I'm like oh yeah that field hurt me that was fun though sled pushes and pulls man are are no [ __ ] joke yeah it was a good time back after it now boys I'm training I'm getting ready hey you said you told me you're getting up at like 4:30 in the morning working out at 5 it's a new it's a new thing I'm doing just for uh not forever just for like 3 months I'm like I'm going to set a goal I'm going to do this for three months and uh I'm about two and a half months in so I'm feeling good yeah two and a half months in you're four weeks in you're like 2 and months and month I'm about ready to there you dud that 4:30 is no joke that's a that's a big boy time to get up not dude it's not even today I was like and I can wake up and once the workout is going I'm straight but then after the workout it like hits me again I'm like oh bro I could just go oh I'm dead yeah but it's fun and to be honest like that's the time I had to pick to like be consistent cuz my schedule's so all over the place kids waking up at 6:30 and getting ready you know school thing it's just there was not really a window that I could be consistent with so I'm like you know what we're just going to do it will I we work we work out at the same place and I have I have to legit be there at 6:00 a.m. for me to get the things I have to get done cuz my kids were off to school 7:15 like we live 25 minutes away from our school right and he cruises in there at 6:30 I'm just thinking I had those 30 minutes y just you'll know soon when your kid also talking about you sat out in your truck for like 15 30 extra minutes talking about I saw your wagon ear sitting out there while I was finishing my workout I was I was at home avoiding for a second man the one time I show up you know sometimes I get home and T's already put getting the girls ready I'm like good I'll sit down I got some work to do in this car for another 20 minutes I'm guilty of that too bro it's different when you like you're not on your own schedule always right that's just the with the school thing too man it's the route to go because you want to be home in the morning and and play the put on the dad hat put on the husband hat the partner hat so it's like the only time to get it done that's why I was literally like just three months then I'll reassess I'll reassess where my life's at cuz I'm about to start Tour which is going to be I can't get up at 4:30 on tour because I can't go to bed at 9 o' like I can at home you know what I'm saying so it'll be an adjustment but we'll keep it rocking and then if you work out choose to work out in the afternoon the morning gets going the day get going and you kind of like just push it off bro you don't if I don't do first thing then I'm probably not going to do it that's the same with me bro the same way and but I'll tell myself all day until I lay my head in the pillow at night I'm okay 9:00 p.m. I'll make my way after din I'll put go get 30 minutes in real quick like man never Happ I just wait till tomorrow yeah I didn't lose whole lot I pretty good tomorrow going be good I'll make up for the day consistency is the hardest thing to do we appreciate you man bro thanks for having me boys what's a lot of fun it's called strong strong
