trying to grind. We did alot of touring in April, which was
super fun. We did a lotof frat shows and colleges, literally a
college party every day. Some ofthe funnest, funnest and like nicest people
I've ever really got. Really,if you watched Luke Bryan's documentary, I
(08:45):
forget what it's on. It's likeIGTV or something. Yes, yeah,

But they had all these clips fromback in the day, and it was

Clemson was a great Did you playCountry Roads? And then I played?

friends down there are like I metdown there, but they're from like Connecticut
or they're from New Hampshire. Likethere's a lot of people like from this
(10:37):
area down there and we played.I still think that's why the Bruins lost.

Bruins were playing and they were inovertime in one of the games, and
I was like, I was like, let's get everybody hide, like it
was a bunch of people play andas we were about to finish the song,
(11:01):
they lost in overtime, and Iwas like, I'm like, I'm
like, if we lose this series, it's because of that. And then
we lost the series, and I'mlike, I'm never playing the game where
it's a bad omen every time.Brad Marshawn could have scored a goal right
when the game was ending. Ohthen he didn't, like he Oh,
it was like a breakaway. Ifhe had scored that goal series over the
(11:24):
Bruins, the Bruins were gonna theywould have won. I watched in the
game and we lost. I waslike, oh my god, no,
like over the mic, I likefreaked out and everybody like looked at me.
I'm like, ah, sorry,guys, came through. The goalie
saved, it went to overtime.Then the Panthers won, and then they
won the all the way up untilthe game was a Game seven. No,

My god, you never went tohe's never been. I've never been
like to a bar like an eighteenI was always out in Worcester really,
so yeah we go, like whenI be home high school summer whatever.
Yeah, we would go. Howwould you get in? Like it was
eighteen plus but you just couldn't drink. But there was a lot of bars
(15:26):
like plus but you just couldn't.You couldn't drink. They'd give you like
a wrist band or something that Iwasn't a cool kid growing up. I
guess, jeez, I'm not himthat, But I mean Nashville. My
favorite part about it is the people. They're all so nice, everyone's always
willing to help. It's just Idon't know, it's just a good community
of people. Like everyone's cool,everyone's always down to right or play a
show. Um, go to bar, like my favorite part to play at.
(15:52):
It's gotta be down to it's gottabe Broadway. I mean just crazy.
I like it. I'm a class. My class said, I used
to play. I used to playten to close at Honckeytonk Central a lot.
I remember seeing that more fun.Yeah, those are a good time.
Um, people tip good late atnight, Like yeah, the six
(16:12):
to ten is like definitely the besttime slot. Tend to close like gets
iffy because it's a lot of likeyounger kids. Yeah, they don't even
know what Venmo was at that point. They requests a song and you're like,
okay, twenty dollars and then they'relike what but it's like you just
paid twelve dollars for a drink,but I know you got twenty dollars.
But I'd say, like my favoritego to bar to play like for writers
(16:33):
round or something. I guess it'snot really a bar, but my favorite
venue is the listening. Yeah,that's why that's my favorite place to play,
Like any round or anything. It'slike place spot or like it's no,
it's like it's like a restaurant bar. Okay, It's like yeah,
you go there to listen to likea lot of music, but there's like
a stage. Whyeah, yeah,I've done that twice and that's that's like
(16:55):
a pretty big venue. I feellike I see a lot of big artists
that go there. Yeah, wejust Jamison Rodgers, Hunter Phelps, still
Marlow. So why was I thinkingthat? Michael Phelps, who's there?
He's delving into the country scene thereplaying music the same time. Yeah,
listening is probably my favorite venue.But like for bars, I'd say I
(17:15):
always love playing Live Oaks, LiveOaks time. It's on demembering, it's
it's how you pronounce it. Yeah, I always see like the mom there's
always there's a bunch of differente elseI've always said demembering. But Live Oaks
so is just like a good time. This is always like a given that
there's gonna be people there. Soit's the Hot Chicken like officially overrated.

saw him in Western Oh my god, great show. It's so good.
Loudest show, the loudest show we'vebeen to. You can't even move you
honestly cannot even to the bathroom.It was so crowded. But after the
show he said hi to us atlike midnight, which was really nice.
(26:06):
I didn't even know he was goingto come come and say hi, but
we were just all sticking around tolike avoid the traffic. And yeah,
he had a really cool little likeset up. But anyways, Yeah,
he popped in the room and hebasically was like, ohoh, it was
so funny. I'm jealous. Thiscool. I was like, that's something

him and Charles was a Godwin andit was the rowdiest and loudest show I've
ever been. And then we sawhim again when he was doing those shows
with Luke Holmbs last year as wesaw him at Mercedes Benz in Atlanta,
and I would I would much rathersee him in a smaller venue than a
big venue, and he is sucha small venue. It's just it's the
(27:11):
vibes it was. I had chills. The Whister was great, Like up,
I had a bunch of friends whowent that stage set up perfect because
everyone basically got a front row experience. Yeah yeah, I saw on the
show prep today or it's kind ofgone viral, someone tried to take a
guitar. Oh yeah. He waslike, oh it was insane because I
(27:33):
did a TikTok onto the ball andlike I was kind of close to him
and towards the end, I waslike, someone could easily just grab his
guitar. Yeah, but think ofthat. Yeah, Like he was right
there, but like that's how coolof a guy. He was like,
yeah, care but then he gothis guitar video. Maybe laughed so hard
and has he gotta you gotta besmarter than that. She definitely had a
few drinks concert, like, howcan't you right? Yeah, you kind
(27:59):
of jell as you're going to theSox game. So who's your all time
favorite, like Boston athlete of alltimes? One right answer? I know,
And don't say Derek White, Okay, I would. I really do
love him, honestly, He's likea nice a time favorite. I feel
like I've asked you this too.I mean, it's good. When I
(28:21):
was a little kid, Jakobe Elsberrywas my favorite Red Sox. Met him,
I got to meet John Lester andClay That was that was cool.
My favorite doesn't have to Red Sox. My favorite Patriots player, I'll say,
is Wes Welker. I met him, so it's not I'm taking the
answers. I met him. So. My dad's a fire chief in Auburn
(28:45):
and they used to do they usedto do Auburn used to do like this
weird like like fashion show like thing. And Wes Welker was in the fashion
show. I met him on time. Yeah, and um, but wasn't
he get Texas tech guy? Yeah? He was saying because she loves love
it sex to sex, so um, I love But I say my favorite
(29:06):
my favorite Patriot player is probably JulianEdelman. He'll always be my favorite.
I think Grouncles always great. Butum, my favorite Red Sox player has
gotta be Johnny Damon. He wasjust artees Johnny Damon. He was at
the game. He's everywhere. Hewas literally everywhere. I'm gonna say,
I'm gonna say Jason Veritech for justshoving his glove and aart's face. I
(29:30):
have that framed in my room signedI love it. I don't know,
I'd probably say it had great guysand I miss I miss Isaiah Thomas when
he was a game. Yes,I guess you're just hanging out in Boston
by the way, like they wereall their pulps. Yeah, which is
so cool. All the people fromwork here were hanging out with Paul Pierce.
I was like, the heck yousee that? Yeah everywhere too.
(29:52):
He's just like a regular whatever theyare. Last year, when I was
in Vegas, he was there.Um, I didn't meet him, but
my guy friends were there at thesame time time and they were just like
walking by there. My guy friendswere wearing randomly like a Celtics T shirt
to the pool and Paul Pierce sawthem and he was like, Yo,
you're gonna come in Bay Cabana Andthey ended up spending the whole weekend with
Paul Piers. If there's any eventin Boston, you can bet on Paul
(30:15):
Piers being every like playoff games.He's always around. Does he live here?
He's got to I think about thatall the time. I don't know,
But like if you if you're aretired athlete, why would you live
in Boston's great, but like youcould live in like I don't know.
I think they do make sure areaslike so short because they can get a
good amount of like endorsements here.Oh yeah, they get there, you
(30:37):
know moneymakers. Well, like JasonTaantum, like I think lives in Boston.
Yeah, I mean Brady lived inBoston or he lived Brookline. That's
like super nice too, right,Yeah, I mean I don't know.
Tanum is always driving like the NewberryStreet, like shopping with shopping at like
Louis Vaton and stuff. I'm sure. Yeah, So there is rumors Jalen
Brown is Um thinking of buying inthe seaports so that means no one want
(30:59):
to go anywhere. Yeah, thatwas just like last night. People are
posting he was like looking at likecondo or something in the seaport is so
nice. That's been the question onTwitter that I've seen the last I don't
want them to bring it, likewhether or not he's gonna leave or whether
or not we're getting a moment.I don't know. I would why would
you stupid? Like this team isreally good. I'd say, maybe make
(31:21):
a couple moves, but don't changeit too much. Like we're that right,
we just play stupid. Sometimes wejust don't show up to something because
that's all. I can't make itthree say it wasn't bad that first period
whatever, Like yeah, why didthey miss right Tan? Right when Tandom
snapped his ankle. I know,however, I was like, right,
it was literally the first play ofthe game he landed and rolled his ankle.
(31:44):
I'm like that. I'm like madat some Boston fans because they were
honestly out like in tweeting and postinglike Jason Tantum didn't show up to the
game. I'm like, dude,hurt his ankle in the first period.
What I noticed that. I'm like, but they were like, where was
God forbid we win this game.I'm like, he needs to be healthy
for those and I noticed him hewas just passing it. He wasn't any
(32:05):

they lost in overtime, and Iwas like, I'm like, I'm
like, if we lose this series, it's because of that. And then
we lost the series, and I'mlike, I'm never playing the game where
it's a bad omen every time.Brad Marshawn could have scored a goal right
when the game was ending. Ohthen he didn't, like he Oh,
it was like a breakaway. Ifhe had scored that goal series over the
(11:24):
Bruins, the Bruins were gonna theywould have won. I watched in the
game and we lost. I waslike, oh my god, no,
like over the mic, I likefreaked out and everybody like looked at me.
I'm like, ah, sorry,guys, came through. The goalie
saved, it went to overtime.Then the Panthers won, and then they
won the all the way up untilthe game was a Game seven. No,

like to a bar like an eighteenI was always out in Worcester really,
so yeah we go, like whenI be home high school summer whatever.
Yeah, we would go. Howwould you get in? Like it was
eighteen plus but you just couldn't drink. But there was a lot of bars
(15:26):
like plus but you just couldn't.You couldn't drink. They'd give you like
a wrist band or something that Iwasn't a cool kid growing up. I
guess, jeez, I'm not himthat, But I mean Nashville. My
favorite part about it is the people. They're all so nice, everyone's always
willing to help. It's just Idon't know, it's just a good community
of people. Like everyone's cool,everyone's always down to right or play a
show. Um, go to bar, like my favorite part to play at.
(15:52):
It's gotta be down to it's gottabe Broadway. I mean just crazy.
I like it. I'm a class. My class said, I used
to play. I used to playten to close at Honckeytonk Central a lot.
I remember seeing that more fun.Yeah, those are a good time.
Um, people tip good late atnight, Like yeah, the six
(16:12):
to ten is like definitely the besttime slot. Tend to close like gets
iffy because it's a lot of likeyounger kids. Yeah, they don't even
know what Venmo was at that point. They requests a song and you're like,
okay, twenty dollars and then they'relike what but it's like you just
paid twelve dollars for a drink,but I know you got twenty dollars.
But I'd say, like my favoritego to bar to play like for writers
(16:33):
round or something. I guess it'snot really a bar, but my favorite
venue is the listening. Yeah,that's why that's my favorite place to play,
Like any round or anything. It'slike place spot or like it's no,
it's like it's like a restaurant bar. Okay, It's like yeah,
you go there to listen to likea lot of music, but there's like
a stage. Whyeah, yeah,I've done that twice and that's that's like

(27:11):
vibes it was. I had chills. The Whister was great, Like up,

gotta be Johnny Damon. He wasjust artees Johnny Damon. He was at
the game. He's everywhere. Hewas literally everywhere. I'm gonna say,

to the pool and Paul Pierce sawthem and he was like, Yo,

Paul Piers. If there's any eventin Boston, you can bet on Paul
(30:15):

He's got to I think about thatall the time. I don't know,
But like if you if you're aretired athlete, why would you live

Louis Vaton and stuff. I'm sure. Yeah, So there is rumors Jalen
Brown is Um thinking of buying inthe seaports so that means no one want
(30:59):
to go anywhere. Yeah, thatwas just like last night. People are
posting he was like looking at likecondo or something in the seaport is so
nice. That's been the question onTwitter that I've seen the last I don't
want them to bring it, likewhether or not he's gonna leave or whether
or not we're getting a moment.I don't know. I would why would
you stupid? Like this team isreally good. I'd say, maybe make
(31:21):
a couple moves, but don't changeit too much. Like we're that right,
we just play stupid. Sometimes wejust don't show up to something because
that's all. I can't make itthree say it wasn't bad that first period
whatever, Like yeah, why didthey miss right Tan? Right when Tandom
snapped his ankle. I know,however, I was like, right,
it was literally the first play ofthe game he landed and rolled his ankle.
(31:44):
I'm like that. I'm like madat some Boston fans because they were
honestly out like in tweeting and postinglike Jason Tantum didn't show up to the
game. I'm like, dude,hurt his ankle in the first period.
What I noticed that. I'm like, but they were like, where was
God forbid we win this game.I'm like, he needs to be healthy
for those and I noticed him hewas just passing it. He wasn't any
(32:05):
