Kelly Nash We'll come on the phone. Mitchell Timpenny, Good.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Morning, Good morning, y'all. How's it going.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
We're excited about your show, Colonial Life Arena, Kane Brown,
Mitchell Timpenny, what a great show this is gonna be.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I'm excited. This tour has been awesome so far, and
just got a couple of weeks off. We played one
show here in Nashville at our arena, which is my hometown,
which is crazy. But now we're kicking it all back
golf and getting going again. So I'm pumped to get on.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
The road Thursday night, Colonial Life Arena. It's gonna be huge.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Mitchell.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I'm looking at your Instagram and it seems like you
barely sing. You're more interested in golf these days, you
and Kane Brown, and there you are golfing with John Daly.
What was that like meeting John Daly? Did you play
a full eighteen with him? Or how'd that go?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Oh? Yeah, me and John have come really good friends
over the past couple of years. I'm actually playing his
golf tournament tomorrow here in Nashville. It's just crazy. I
love golf, I love being outside, being on doors, and
golf's always been. I'm one of my favorite sports since
I was a kid. To meet John, we were up
at the same clubs together here in Nashville. It's definitely
one of those pitch me moments. And then for some
(01:06):
reason we just enjoyed conversations and we became good friends
and we played a lot of golf. So it's been
a good time.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Wow. Good for you.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
He's a wild man.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
And it's not like you haven't had the opportunities. You
mentioned playing in your hometown of Nashville, and I had
to look that up. That inspired a Google search. There's
a very short list of country music stars born in
country music Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Man. Yeah, I don't know what it is. Maybe everyone
that knows better, I guess, but it's an honor. I
love Nashville. I'm born and raised here. My grandmother was
in the business. She was a publisher. She ran Tony
Publishing for about thirty years. So I grew up loving
songwriters and fell in love with sawwriters and got to
meet everyone from Curly Pupman to Bobby Braddick who you
(01:48):
know they wrote he stopped loving her today and I
just I always say I bumped my head early as
a kid. But it's just everything I wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And who said you love songwriting? Is that how you
met Megan? Because you also loves and she's a songwriter?
Is that how you say that?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I'd never to be honest, I promised myself I'd never
dated a musician or a songwriter. But after some failed
ones of not being that and being on the road,
it's hard when you're on the road all the time
if someone else is doing something else that's not involved
in music industry, there's this why aren't you home type thing?
And so it ended up working out when I finally
met Megan that we both fell in love with music first,
(02:23):
and so we get that. At first, I was trying
to avoid it at all costs, but you know, I
guess you can in the end.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Mitchell Tenpenny on the phone, going to be here Thursday
night with Kane Brown Colonial Life Arena, and you get
to see a lot of exciting things. I guess when
you're on the road. You were I don't even know
where this was, but you're at the last remaining Blockbuster
video store.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, yeah, I think that it's an organ somewhere. It was. Yeah,
we just happen to be driving through the town and
someone mentioned I was like, we have to stop. I
have to see it. I'm super nostalgic. And it smelled
like Blockbuster. I don't even know how to explain that.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I kind of remember that smell. I gotta be honest.
I can go back to the nineties and kind of
remember it.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Oh it was awesome, man, I loved it. I still
every moment.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Well, you mentioned you're super nostalgic, explained to me because
there was a nostalgic aspect to a tattoo that you got.
What's that about?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Oh? Man, there's a few. I'm not sure which one.
I mean. I have dumb tattoos, I'll admit it, I
have a lot of.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Is the one with a chicken that I vaguely remember.
He's got a pistol in one hand?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Oh yeah, yeah. So his name's McGraw. He was on
Wallace and Brahmt back in the day. If anybody watched
that claymation, I think, is it Tugs mcgrawl or something
like that. He was a penguin that he put a
chicken hat on to act like he was robbing the place.
I don't know. You have to see it. It sounds weird
right here, but it's really good.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
It sounds weird, but it's really not.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yeah, Mitchell Tinpenny come into the Town Colonial Life Arena
with Caane Brown.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Now, what is it like on tour day?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Will you actually go golfing before if the weather's nice?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Actually, me and Cain are gonna do TPC on one
of these days coming up here. We played the other day,
Me and Kane. We both like the golf, so we'll
get up early in the morning trying to play whatever
courses around.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Is this something where fans should be kind of staking
out our local better courses trying.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
To see you.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I mean, come on, I don't care. I love me
and people with them there me.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, you mentioned a minute ago it was really tough
because you said you don't want to daveybody in the business,
and you mentioned being on the road thousands of miles away,
which leads me back to the lyrics of Same Moon. Now,
did you write that song with Megan?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I didn't write it with her, but I wrote it
for her because you know, we're both living that life.
She's on her tour right now and we're about to
head back down the road, and you know, I wrote
that title down actually a couple of years ago because
we were still doing the same thing. We were just
always gone, and I was like, you know, it's cliche
as it sounds, look up at the same moon. It
doesn't feel like we're that far away. And I was like, man,
that could be a good song. So I wrote down
the title and ended up writing the song about a
(04:49):
year later and putting it on the record, And when
it came time to pick the next single for radio,
I was just like, this is the song I'm living
right now. I want to put a song to radio
that it's currently a part of my life. Tried to
go with this song because of that, and I love
this song. Every time I hear it just reminds me
of her and what we're doing in the dream. And
it's pretty cool, man. I mean, we both loved this
and one of this our whole lives and we're living
(05:10):
in and we're making it work.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Another cool thing that you got to do recently was
a video to announce the tour you're going on with
Jordan Davis. A little bit that I don't I mean,
that is so huge that you get Jim Nance and
Peyton Manning together on that are though. I mean, have
you met other people like that caliber? Because there's nobody
(05:33):
bigger than Jim Nance and golf, and there's probably nobody
bigger than Peyton Manning and football.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I mean, as a Tennessee boy, Peyton Manning is my favorite,
you know, athlete of all time. So that was that
was really special. I've got to meet him a few times.
We did a couple of award shows together, and then
he came to a couple of shows in Denver, which
was awesome to get to meet him and his family.
It's just it's just cool because you don't think about it,
you know, as much as we look up to them,
(05:58):
they got to listen to music. It's the point too,
And it's just it's always so humbling when they show
up at you know, people like that show up at
a show, you just kind of forget, you know, that
that's the way it is. And so it's been a
real honor again to me, damn. And then Jim Nance.
I was doing an interview in Nashville and I had
my back turned towards the door, and the door opens
(06:18):
and I hear a tradition uni like any other I
can't do it like him. And I turned around it
with him and I was like, oh my gosh. We
stopped the interview. I took pictures. I was like, man,
I'm just such a huge fan. And me and my
dad for my dad. My dad's passed now. But that's
what all we did was watch golf together. And you know,
Jim nance was such a staple in life, and so
(06:39):
that was so cool. And then when Jordan was talking
about the video and mentioned all that, I was like, dude,
that would be so cool if we can pull it off.
And Payton said, fly out to his club in Denver
and we'll make it happen. And so we did it
and it was It was awesome. Peyton is such a
professional the way he just he's so funny. You can
tell he does this all the time, but he's just
that was such a cool thing to watch and be
(06:59):
a part of.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I was asking somebody in radio I got to talk
about Mitchell Timpenny, you got any scoop and he said,
the dude goes nuts over tennis shoes. Talk to him
about running shoes or what is up with that?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I like Jordan's you know, I'm just a fan I
love thorts and I've always loved Michael Jordan since I
was a kid. And I used to wear cowboy boots
on stage, but I kept slipping and I was like,
I'm gonna put sneakers on, and it just kind of
became the thing I like to do. I like to
collect my you know, different Michael Jordan's shoes.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
How many pairs do you estimate you have?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I don't know. It's a problem at this point where
me and my wife were actually doing an addition and
building a barnuminium right now, and in the addition we're
doing his and her closet basically for the shoes.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Do you have more shoes than your wife?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I do. It is a problem, I do. Yeah, I'll
admit it. She's got more boot but yeah, yeah I do.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I'm been looking forward to seeing you in some air
Jordan's I guess Thursday night at the Colonial Life Arena.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Let's go. Yeah, I'll have to think of a good
pair just.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
For if you got to garnet in black. You know,
that's go get let's go game.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Cocks, let's go. I've got I definitely do.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I know you're a Tennessee fan, as you mentioned, course,
all of us kind of gravitate to our home state, hometown,
favorite football teams and stars. But game Cock fans are
all excited about seeing your Thursday nights. And I just
don't wear the orange.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I wouldn't. That's the best color for every day.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I just also want to point out that South Carolina police,
unlike Tennessee police, they're not going to do you like
y'all did Darius Rutgers after we beat Tennessee and then
they arrest them the next day.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Hey, I was mad at that too. Of that he
didn't any of.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
That, No, he didn't.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The game Cocks will be cheering for you when you
hit the stage Thursday night in Colonial Life Arena. We're
excited to have you coming to town. Thank you for
making this part of our big week.
