Hey y'all, it's Denise's podcast. Well, hi there, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
I'm excited for my guest today, Drew Baldridge. What an
amazing story he has to share with us. He has
a hit country song soon to be number one country song,
and he wasn't even signed by a major label when
we started playing it on country radio. That's unheard of.
This is like history and the making. Plus he shares
(00:31):
about the song, why he wrote it, and the video.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Is so beautiful. You have to see it.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
It's on all of my social media if you want
to see the video at Denise Plant, Denver. He'll describe
what the video is all about and how it ties
into his song too. But first, before we get to
the interview, of course, update on pop culture. It's Denise's Dirt.
It all kicks off with some shocking news.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Your disease is just outside just in war arm push ups.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
This waiting, just waiting.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
There's been five arrests in Matthew Perry's death. Matthew Perry
passed October twenty eighth of last year. He was found
floating face down in his hot tub. The report from
the autopsy said he passed away to acute effects of ketamine.
Multiple arrests have finally been made. Two doctors, as a
matter of fact, a personal assistant, and two others all
(01:24):
charged with providing the ketamine that led to his death.
Prosecutors are saying that Perry's assistant and an acquaintance got
their hands on a large amount of ketamine worth tens
of thousands of dollars, and of course they did it
with the help of a drug dealer. Allegedly, he paid
over fifty five thousand dollars for the ketamine. His family
(01:45):
issued a statement following the news of the arrests. They said,
we were and still are heartbroken by Matthew's death, but
it has helped to know law enforcement has taken his
case very seriously. We look forward to justice taking its call.
Let's move on to some good news.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
What's going on Nashville, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Post malone? Boy?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
What a night at the Grand Old Opry August fourteenth.
He made his debut with a few friends, Vince gill
Landy Wilson on Michael Montgomery, the War Entreaty, and even
Brad Paisley.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
It was an amazing night for him.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
There's been rumors about Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars teaming up,
and finally it's official.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
They dropped a song called die with a Smile.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Buys love My House. It's so beautiful.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
The upcoming Britney Spears biopic, well, it's gonna be extra authentic.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
There's at least a chance of it.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
The new owner of her childhood home is inviting Universal
Pictures to film on location. They're going to go back
to Britney spears old home in Kentwood, Louisiana, where she
grew up. He was like, well, what if you just
give me like five thousand dollars and then I'll just
give you the recipe and then you can just be
on your way with it. It's been several years now,
(03:00):
but Came Brown tasted a secret sauce that was made
by Guy Fieri, and wow, it made him want to
go into the barbecue sauce business. So now you can
taste Flavortown x Caine Brown Tennessee style barbecue sauce. It's
on his merch site. You can check it out on
Amazon here. And finally, a piece of the horror movie
(03:22):
classic Poultergeys can be yours. The home where Steven Spielberg
filmed the classic horror flick is on the market forcel
just outside of Los Angeles. It's a sixteen thousand square
foot lot, four bedrooms, two and a half baths, large
swimming pool and jacuzzi.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
And if you're able to.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Scare up the one point one seven four million dollar
asking price, you'll be living in an iconic haunted house.
But the current owners say, yeah, it's not actually haunted.
Now let's get to it. The man who's making history himself,
Drew Baldridge.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Hey, Deny, Hi, Drew, how are you? I'm great? How
are you doing well?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I am doing wonderful, but not as good as you are.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Let me just give you that big old golf clap here,
because congratulations.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
You're a song.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
This is like a historic story.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Oh man, well, thank you so much. It's been a
crazy year and just you know, try and trying to
fight and get this song up to number one. It's
been our goal all along. And to think, man, we're
right there, we're knocking on number one's door. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Song gives me goosebumps. But the story, would you mind?
I'd love for them to hear it out of your mouth?
How this this happened because you were not signed to
a label at all.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
No, So twenty sixteen to twenty nineteen had a record
deal and it was awesome, you know. I was on
tour with some of the biggest artists. And twenty nineteen
comes in the label I'm on Closes and I'm thinking, well, shoot,
I'm going to get another record deal. I have a
big hit. Everybody's gonna want to sign us. Blah blah blah.
Well then that just doesn't happen. We don't get signed.
(04:59):
COVID happens, and then twenty twenty one comes to me
and my wife get married. I have this song called
She's Somebody's Daughter. I make a special version just so
she can dance to it with her dad at our wedding,
and that's the wedding version. And that's that's the version
that you hear on the music video. If you watch
the music video, it's actually our wedding. And I just
(05:19):
made it just so she could dance to it with
her dad, and she did, and we went on our honeymoon.
I posted this TikTok on our honeymoon. I think I said, hey,
if this gets five thousand likes, we'll put it out
on Friday. It was a Wednesday night and I post
this song. I wake up the next morning and it
has almost ten million views on it and I am
(05:41):
blown away. I can't believe it. I think again, every
record company's going to be calling, this is amazing, this
is awesome, and that's just wasn't our story. Nobody really called,
and if they did, they weren't super excited. And so
last year I just did something crazy. I decided, you
know what, I don't want to look back in thirty
years and say I didn't I try with one of
(06:01):
my favorite songs I've ever wrote. I was watching people
react to it on TikTok with over you know, I think,
now we're up to a billion views and impressions on TikTok.
I was like, you know what, I'm gonna create my
own record label and send this song country radio all
by myself. And that's what I did. I hired my
own staff and we send it to radio, and now
here we are a year later talking about a number
(06:24):
one song. I can't believe it. To these My goal
was when people asked, well, as your god, I was like,
man if I could be top forty. I've never been
top forty, and now here we are talking number one.
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Not only that, think about one billion, one billion streams.
Create your own record label and you name it after
your son.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, I know. I just really can't believe a billion
people have heard this song, heard this message. And that's
one reason why I fought for this song so much.
Is the message is so powerful, you know, And it's
about my wife. It's about treating women right, knowing they're
worth and to know that now not only social media,
but millions and millions of people around the country because
of country radio, are hearing this message. And I think
(07:08):
that's so important for us in country music. We need
this message. And I'm so glad that I got to
be the person to bring in somebody who's telling me
the other day they're like, man, do you know if
you go number one, you'll be the first artist in
the history of country music to go get their first
number one without a label, fully independent by yourself. And
that's mind blowing.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And going back to what you said, she's somebody's daughter.
It's about treating women right and knowing their worth. I
want to thank you for writing that song. I'm lucky
enough to be married to a man that does exactly
that and has taught our two boys, now young men,
how to treat a woman like a lady but also
support her wants, support her dreams, and be her partner
(07:49):
in life. She's somebody's daughter. You can follow him on
any social media platform at Drew Baldridge Music and I
hope the next thing is a movie about this song
hitting number one and how it started.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
That would be absolutely insane. Maybe one day, who would
you have play you? Oh goodness, I have no idea.
Who who could? I don't know. We need somebody that
can at least sing a little bit too, I don't know.
I gotta think of that. Give me some time to
think on that.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Okay, well, I'll talk to you again with your next
number one, so.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
You be next time perfect.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I got you, Denise, Thank you, Take care, God, bless
and congratulations, blessed.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
