#140 - Jana Kramer

be more about his life. Um that's where I was disappointed. I think it was two hyped up for me and everyone's like, you're going to cry, and I was like, I didn't. I wanted to be more about like him and like his upbringing and stuff like that. Not so much about the show. I was okay with the direction of it. You were, yeah, because he really did a lot as a show when they were showing for me, I'm totally let me do this commercial. I'm gonna come back to this. No, no, no, you're good like squirrel.

I do want to talk about sleep number for a second, because here's the deal with me too, have like I do this show from my house and I have three sleep number beds, but with them so long that I keep getting new ones and just move them up to all the guest rooms. Uh, you want to have more energy, you're less brain fog, or just sleep better. You're pregnant, so the bed matters you spend I tell you that you spend more than half your life in bed. Having

the mattress is the most important thing. That's the biggest investment that you should do. To hear the best commercial, no one ever does a commercial lines she's like Nail, I'm like the new Sleep number three sixty smart bed helps everyone from parents to pro athletes. Listen. It's all about just listen. You feel better if if you are better, if you're if you're more well, you just you perform better at work. Invest in a good bed. So many

couples disagree on mattress firmness and sleep number beds. Let you choose your ideal firmness on each side. So whatever's right for you go in now. Let me suggest to see the newest Sleep number three sixty smart bed. It's your competitive edge. From Sleep Numbers, the official sleep and Wellness partner of the NFL. You'll only find sleep number at one of the fifties, Sleep number stores nationwide, visits sleep numb dot com, slash bones, and find the one

nearest to you. Just to the documentary, just for a second, I thought, because that show was a bit before me, just a bit before you. I don't remember much of it as a kid. I mean I didn't watch it either. My brother used to cry, so it was older watched he's older. But whenever they would show on the Mr. Rogers documentary, whenever real life things would happen, like the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, and he would go, want to go, hey, listen,

you may hear you may hear the word assassination. Like he was tackling really tough subjects for kids. Yeah. Do you know what's sad though, this day and age, if there was a show like that, you can't have a middle aged dude. That's so sad. It's like he actually loved these kids, Like he wasn't that we know of, you know, pedophile or whatever. But I'm like, in this day and age, you're like, yeah, yeah, it's just so sad. Like that's where like, well, that's where my head went first.

I was like, in this day and age that we're probably gonna have a show like that, unless it's like Mr. Wiggles, But then anyone it's like three grown men. That's even worse. Yeah, she's two and a half. She'll be three in January, and then the baby boys do in November. How excited was Mike to have a boy? Honestly, he was okay having a girl. I really wanted another girl. But he's so pomped now and now I'm really excited. I just at first and picture myself as a boy mom, but

now I'm like beyond them and so excited. And the clothes are so cute for boys. But what about he's a ballplayer, like doesn't doesn't even want to, you know, he does. He's scared because how do I say this? He's afraid that he might do the same things in his upbringing that the cycle. The cycle, he's afraid of. The cycle. He's afraid of because I mean his dad.

You know, not that his dad was bad. His dad's amazing, but you know, there are certain things that let him down certain paths because of how he was raised, and he's afraid that that might happen again. But I'm like, this is where you get to break the cycle. And that hopefully won't happen. And now you'll know it's okay if you know he does come to you and you can he can be honest with you and you won't get mad at him. And so, and Jenna has a podcast called wine Down w h I n E where

you guys, is it right? It's w H I n E wind Down, Um Jenna Grammar and it's an unhearted as well as yours, and it's I'm so open book about everything in my life. So that's why I wanted to do a podcast. And Mike's my co host on there, and we just we talked about it all, but we have fun too, like we're not all about like, oh you know, we don't only talk about affairs. We don't only talk about that stuff, but we we tackle the subjects that are hard to talk about. So how does

he do with that? He did not want to talk about it at all in the very beginning. I mean it's been two years he's been out with everything, so I mean, as the perpetrator, like he didn't ever want to talk about it ever. I mean, he wanted to sleep underneath the rug. And for me, it's like there's how I've Ever, how I've always dealt with things in my life is there's gotta be a reason for the

that was caused in my life. So if I know I'm not the only person so selfishly like, it helps me when I reach out and talk about these things because there's other people that's like, oh my gosh, my husband too, or this happened to me, and it's I

don't feel as alone. So when he did start slowly starting to talk about it, I would send him messages and be like, look like this helped this person hearing like the guy's perspective or what maybe the husband could have been thinking, and he's like, wow, I didn't know that that could like be like that. So it's been

and it's been really good for us. Yeah. Yeah, I mean there's times when it's triggering, but at the same time, again like keeping the objective of we know why we're doing this to try to help people, and just talk about well, again, we know we're not experts, we're not therapists, Like we do not have it figured out, I mean at all, But does anybody ever have figured out I've determined now at this age in my life that no one really knows what they're doing, and some people just

fake it better and they make you feel more insecure about yourself because they're faking it so well. But really nobody knows. No, you don't know. And like there's things that happen all the time where I still get triggered, I still get upset with them. We still have to you know, and it could happen again, and then I have to make my decision what I'm going to do then, And so it's just a cycle, and I'm just trying to learn every day. You've You've been my confident for this.

I guess two months probably way before I even accepted the Dancing with the Stars. Well, yeah, you wanted to know, like what it like, what it really was? Is it really four hours of dancing? You know? It's not? Oh no, it's like, how do I break it to you? I feel bad complaining about it because it's such a cool thing. And I also people don't understand. They think it's just fun. It's not fun. It's really hard work. It's so it's so hard, but you feel complaining, like, oh, I'm having

a hard time on Dancing with the Stars. It's like I understand that, but everyone else is not going to understand that they haven't done the show because it's hard, and it's hard when you don't know how to even learn, like you're learning to learn that's been don't even know how to like count? Yeah, I didn't need that. I was like, I don't understand this. What and when only one on our show that has a job, oh will Yeah, like a full time everyday job, like the other guys

have like things they do. But there are a lot of creatives. That's true. That So every day I'm in here five six seven hours a day and then I go dance five six seven hours a day. I try to eat. Yeah, I get a little fried. I'm trying to be a little run down. Are you forgetting the steps? No, my problem isn't forgetting steps. My problem is actually because I want to learn all the steps and I'm such a linear guy. Does she teach you the entire dance all at once or now? Uh? We do blocks. She's

tried all everything with me. She's trying. She gets so frustrated at me, and she gets no. No, she doesn't get mad at me. Sometimes she'll be like, hey, but it's for my like it's really for my own good do you like that she's hard or do you want her to be softer? No, I just want consistency. If she's always hard, that means when she's softer, she says it's good, it means it's really good. As long as anything in my life is given to me consistently, I can gauge the good or bad based on what the

consistent path is. So if she's always hard and she doesn't go, oh, you're doing great all the time, well she does finally say that it's good, it really means it's good, and that's even currency. Yeah, what do you think your biggest challenges the mental? It's not Listen, I'm the first one there. I'm the last one to leave. I know you are because in my text thir day, I was I was quoting your book. I didn't think

you got it. Probably you're you're like I am. I was like, no, I'm talking about your book fight grind repeat, that's yes. I didn't know that at first. It's I I really beat myself up when I can't get it right, which is not fair because I'm not supposed to get it right yet, and I'm just like, I'm so stupid, And then I don't even dance to the music. I'm trying to dance with the steps sometimes remember so many steps. Well, you have the hardest dance. That's what everybody says. I

don't know the difference. It's hard. I was. That was my lowest score. Both. I don't think we can say what it is yet you can't either. I'm saying I don't think so. But it was by far my lowest score. I had the hardest time with that dance. And to know that you got that first, I was like, oh God, why, because I think you're going to do good. With like a frame position, you'll do good. I think, and like something where you're like posture, maybe even you're going to

be good. Regardless, I think there's a good shot I go home the first. You're not going home. We're not honestly. If you're saying that, though, then you're gonna like you're putting it out there, putting out that I don't believe that. You don't believe in that. I don't believe it because I'm saying it, because I'm saying what I would truly feel that it's going to happen. I also don't believe I'm right now I'm drinking a ferra. I don't believe

it's gonna pull up outside. Well, okay, what's I believe Our mindset affects our actions. I just I disagree with you. I just think if you like, yes, a Ferrari isn't going to show up because that's not realistic and it's so hard. But I don't believe it's so hard to ferrari outside. That's not realistic. You're you don't have any you don't have a dealer right now for a Ferrari. Right now, you're on Dancing with the Stars, So that's

more realistic. I believe that if I show up yes, and I put in the work yes, and every day I get a few percent better, that I'm going to be on a trajectory to continue to improve. I'm going to learn to learn. I like that. That's what I believe. That's great. I also believe I could go home the first week. That win the whole thing. Anyone could go home the first week. There's the reality that, yes, you can. I think that my story, your story good, Well, you

you go there, you know what I mean. That's the thing. A lot of people don't go there. They don't show the insides, and you want people want to get to know you, like my story is the story of the people that listen to my show and listen to this and so well, and I feel like I'm idol too, Like you gave out and I was like that was awesome. I remember texting. I was like, like, that's good, Like you broke down those walls for people that don't know you, like I know you. And then I saw that and

I was like, that's that's Bobby. When you were on the show. How was the cast together, Like we guys closer? No, it takes a couple of weeks. It definitely takes a couple of weeks to like kind of get each other's and some were close and somewhere, you know, it's just it's hard. Did you have a best cast friend? Lori and I were really close Hernandez she was the gymnast,

the cute little gymnasts ended up actually winning. But but then you become so you become friends, like third three or four weeks, and then then it comes to the end and you're like, it's like church, can't everybody goes away? No? I was like, no, I don't want to, Like I need to like I want to beat you now, mean like yeah, then you get like super competitive. I already want to see them all fail and because I want

to win. It's cut. But I mean sometimes like you're in the back and you're like, oh, they just missed a step. Darn, Like what a bummer. That's competition time. Yeah, I'm sorry. It's like it's it's work. You know, it's business. You gotta go out there and kill it. And you're gonna do great. I'm so excited. I'm coming. It's going to be so great. But I just think people don't understand the mental game of Dancing with the Stars. There's

so much because we're those people. The majority of them are not dancers, the majority, and there are a couple of that are really good. It's so annoying. Are the dancers well that's not fair. One of the girls is probably better than the pro dancers because she danced with Janet Jackson for a long time. So that's just that that drives me crazy. And they're like, well it's different because it's not like I've never done ballroom. Doesn't matter.

You know how to move the same thing with like some of the gymnasts and figure skaters where I'm like, you you get it, like that's how you like. Your life was skating and moving and having strong legs like glob would always be like stronger, stronger legs. And I'm like, this is what I don't know what that means. I'm pointing my leg out and that's what I know. So how else do you want me to make it stronger? I'm tightening as hard as I can and it's just

I didn't. I don't understand. Because a girl, her name is Alexis Wryne. She's like an Instagram she has like twelve men and followers, but she had ten years of dance about so it's like, even though they come in as not dancers, So it's frustrating to drink of the sparkling water. It just bothers me because I'm the lead. Me and Nikki as of the comedian or the least, we have zero training with the only two though they

have none. That just drives me crazy. It shouldn't be that way, it's all you know, But she can tell she's super funny and no one else is as funny as she is, and she can use that on TV and no one's as charming and funny as you two, so it's like you're the you're the guy version. She's funnier than I wouldn't watched her do comedy last night.

I think, oh I saw that because you start to get trauma bonding and and I don't know and amber Rose trauma bonded together because you're just in this bubble and you suck at something and it's you're sad and mad, so you're finding people and he's like, who else is sad and mad and depressed in this nex? And we're both like writers, we write different things in ways. But I went on and watched her do comedy last night. Did she said club was really hard on it too.

Oh yeah, she's with your partner. So here's what's funny about that. So Gleb comes to the and I met Glad. Doesn't remember me, but I for sure met him because we were doing a show music show together. He was with you Maryland or one of the two. And so that was a bad concert, by the way, is the terrible, the worst worst ever, so bad. It's so bad. But so Glad came out and gloves Russian Us and doesn't understand nothing wrong with you hacked my phone over hand out.

We were just we went to her show because he doesn't get her comedy sometimes because she's super American and in your face and dirty a little bit. And so he comes to the show and she has a joke like you care, I'm not running the joke. Basically, the joke is somebody that this is not gonna be funny. But it's like if you point your finger at things in a picture, your douchebag, and so that that doesn't

do the joke justice. I don't want to run her joke. Well, and he's like, what is wrong with pointing finger and picture? And so he's like asked, and it's so sweet and awesome, but he doesn't. He just doesn't get it. But we wouldn't get Russian here. We go over to Russia and we go to a comedy clubs, we wouldn't get their jokes either, But that's like what glove does, point a lot, and so he probably felt like insecure. Well yeah, yeah, well that's good. It's good to find someone that you

can connect with. Because Amber and I connected and everyone would think, you know, Amber Rose, she's this beautiful um you know, she was a stripper. Actually that's how she got famous. You would think that she would be very confident and go out there and dance. She was so shy and she had a really really really hard time and everyone's like, no one understood like how she couldn't do it. She's like, I'm just not that person to come out there and you know, do this kind of dancing.

So it wasn't which was just crazy to me. But we you know, again it's the mental and not feeling good enough, and she hated it a lot of childhood. I'm not good enough. That comes well, I mean just ripping out of you. I mean we all have it, but then when you do something like this, it just comes out like tenfold. I was just like sucking everything. My dad was right, I'm not good enough. I should just quit life. That's funny, because are you doing the

Family Feud? The new version? Yeah, it airs on Stay Before Your That was the funniest night ever. Really, I just got invited to do it. Oh gosh, do it, but I don't have here's this EPI. So you know, I have a deal with a dealish thing with ABC where I'm doing a lot of stuff with a lot of projects with them. And it was Idol and Miss America and Dancing with the Stars and there are other things. And so I was talking to the vice president. He's like, hey,

come do family feud. And I said, listen, Rob, that's awesome. I don't have family like like you know, like I don't have a family like married, and my mom's not alive. I don't know my dad, like I don't have a family. And so if you could do like a country music family or like my show radio show family, and he was like, all right, all right, we should do that. And so because I kind of hit him with but I did get invited. I don't know if I'm still invite because don't have a family. But it does seem

like a lot of fun. You should do it. What's that like? The fun? Oh my gosh, I had the greatest time ever went on with you. So it was me, my husband, Mike, my aunt Susan, uncle Rore, and then my brother. We had so much. But I was again I'm very competitive, so I was very strategic. Oh yeah, I was like, if I don't hit this buzzard before Gary Bucy, I'm never going to live that one down. So it was we had a great time. Was he nuts. He's Gary Bucy, He's all over the place. But he

was the nicest man ever. I mean, he came in, he went went sat in our green room and didn't leave and just sat and talked and he was awesome. I saw I went to the comedy store last night and I saw I was going to watch Nikki. But then Tom Arnold did a set which remind me is Gary was terrible. It was always bad. He didn't tell jokes. He just came out and like Gary Bucy did, just went on and on, no jokes for like twenty five minutes because just drunk. No, I think he was just

Tom Arnold and Dan Cooke popped out. So you live out here now and you go back and forth. Well, I'm we're building in Nashville, are you? So we'll be full time next year. Take a year though, to build. So I'm so excited to get out of here, are you? So? What's the differ in Nashville to you? In in Nashville Los Angeles? As there's so much um? First of all real estate. When I was even looking to buy house out here, I was like, I can't afford anything. It's

so expensive out here. You can have so much more Nashville, but then more so is just how I want to

raise Jolie and the baby boy. It's just, you know, I was Midwest and I want Jolie to be able to ride her bike to her friend's house, and here I'd be like, no, you're not driving your bike to your friends use pretty crazy, Like it's just the schools are better, just a better and mean, I think there's a lot of things to do in l A. And I think, you know, I'm not saying it's not good to raise kids out here, but just for us personally, that's just how we want to raise our kids in Nashville.

I'm totally I'm gonna squirrel on you for a second whenever next time Amy gets sick or leaves and you should come filling for her. You're so good, thanks, babe, like unexpect Mike, right, would you agree with me? Like unexpectedly really good? Thank here. I've really enjoy it. I mean it's been like I've had so much fun with my podcasts like the Boss too on the Mic and not and like I'm like dick Way, like like you

own it. It's really you're really good at this. Yeah, And I'm in the Radio Hall of Fame and my voice cracking. Really happy to know because I just I've I've been so enjoyed doing the podcast. It's been a lot of fun and I want to get more into this. So if Amy's ever out, dude, I'm your fill in anytime. What are you doing musically? God, I've had such a struggle with this. Um, I'm putting on an EP next year.

I got dropped a year and a half ago from Warner Brothers, which bothers me in the sense that there are guys on that label that still have not taught had songs that that I whatever, but they're still giving them a chance. So it's like, why why don't why don't we get the ten chances we isn't the women? Yeah, go ahead, And why are you asking me why? The answer is because it's not fair. No, No, you're right, but nothing's fair. No, life isn't fair. I get that.

But there's an easy formula that exists right now, and it's plug in another dude that looks and sounds exactly the same. And these dudes, though, here's the thing about them is and after you know, friendlies buddies that are dude artists that have a hit song and can't get a second one, or it's really hard because it's about the song, not the artist anymore. And I totally disagree

with you. If there is a guy that if we if a girl saying one of these hit songs, maybe harder I've but I'm talking about for the guys in this cycle, the and the Michael Raid, the Jordan Davis that these guys are and I am friends like with Jordan's. Yeah, But to the listener, it's just another good song from another dude. They don't know the difference. They don't know

the difference. There's no difference. There's no like, there's no making an artist like a Blake or the unfair thing that happens to females is that you have to go in with a super identity. These guys don't. But well that's the thing, like we had that like I you know, we were we had sponsorships, we had things that we were doing. And because you know, they always blame me too that I had my feet in different things? Well

is that? Why is that so bad? I feel like women, I feel like men have a hard time having their eggs in different baskets, but as women, we can. We can do those things and still thrive in other areas. But it's just frustrating when a guy you can have all the chances in the world. And I actually made more for the label, but yet they dropped me. I'm not better at all. Uns I would be better too, but there's list people want the easiest way to keep

making money without risking well, and that's the thing. It's like, oh, you look at the charts. Okay, the girls aren't working. I mean, look at Carrie. She she just didn't get a number one. It's she didn't get How many years has that been? And so, which is why I decided to do And I've got a lot of pushback from

doing this show. I was talking a lot, and I don't talk about a lot because I'm just trying not to show people that, you know, because he cares about what I'm going through with the stupid radio show, that people have real problems. But the reason I wanted to do this show with all the female artists wasn't to go Sun weekends. Right. Yeah, but it's on AD and it gets a lot of a lot of spins. The

the purpose of it was a practical purpose. It was Let's take the female artists they are already on the chart and continue playing them and boost their spins because as they move up the chart, other stations look at them, add them, play them more to the chart game. You would certain spot you get played by more stations, so I can help them move up a bit. I can also for sake of the brand and say, hey, listen,

you guys are nuts. Look at all these awesome artists, and I can play stuff from five years ago, twelve years ago, twenty years ago, while highlighting new artists as well. So it was kind of a three pronged approach at it. But really it was about getting people on the charts and moving them up and if their success that creates more opportunity. Success creates opportunity. I mean, you played damn It one time and it charted well. Media, But you

know what I mean, like how cool? I mean, your power is huge, your admit it at times, it's huge. You move the needle for people. There are a lot of things that can affect things. I just want to be the voice again. It's and to me, it's not even about women. It's about fairness, and you know life it's not fair. But I think that if guying. I don't. I wouldn't care if it was female. I want to.

I just want everybody be heard the same. It's not even eight or it's not even nine to I just think there should be something to the fact of, hey, why can't the best song just win? Regard its like in a job like or or. This is what I think too. So this the EP that I'm putting out next year. There's I feel like it's a great song. I've sent it to a few radio people that they said they've loved it, But I'm like, it won't even get the light of day unless there's like a dude

on it. I feel like, now a girl can't work unless the guys attached to it. Yeah, I don't know. I don't. I don't know if that's the case. I know that you know it's tough, and I'm I'm just playing Devil's advocate here because I obviously putting female acts on my tours trying. I'm like, I'm trying, um, but unless you have a good promo team, and it's not

even get to me or the high up. It's about getting to the people that are running stations and like Detroit Sacramento and he But here's the deal though, So now it's like, okay, I'm thirty five. I'll be thirty five in December, thirty five. Female, I have to just do my my way because there's the chances of me getting signed again would be null. But and that's again that's reality. But it's okay. I'm still going to fight for it. I'm still going to try. I'm still going

to do my thing. I'm still gonna, you know, go out and sing some songs for people that want to hear it. I'm still going to write from the heart because this is the best crap I've written. It really is. It's I mean, it's it's it says something. And when is the happening. I'm recording in October and releasing it early next year. I mean, I'm losing my freaking voice because you're grinded. You're fin some allergy. So good now you're doing so good allergy crap. Hey, congratulations on what

you just played that sold out show your hometown. Oh yeah, it's cool, the one the theater that you never into. I I mean I got I got teary eyed on that post. Those are like, that's what you that's what you've been fighting for. Yeah, I feel that awesome. If you're listening. On my Instagram, I posted a picture of me in the theater in Little Rockets is a pretty good ze theater. I've never been able to sell out.

You're like, you're killing it. Well, So that being said, when I was a kid, there was a field trip that was there and I couldn't afford tickets to go on this field trip, so I just act like I was sick and miss school. And so the first time I ever got to in the theater was actually when I played it. It was pretty cool. Yeah, it's cool. I soaked it up a little bit. I mean you

should have. You should. They just stood there for like five minutes and just been like yeah, and you know what I kind of did because they wouldn't stopt cheering. It was awesome. Yeah, it's awesome. They wouldn't stop cheering for me, and I was and I felt uncomfortable, and I was like, screwed. I'm not gonna fee uncofortable anymore. Does that feel that when we have our voids? No, it's a temporary feel like I'm searching for someone to kind of fill the donut hole. Inside of my body.

Is it the someone or is it is it a person or is it you still have to fill yourself. I think I'm pretty good with me now. I do for the first time ever in my whole life. That's huge. Yeah, I feel like you're looking for the other half or the third or the other two thirds or whatever it is that that I feel like I kind of have someone that's Are you ready for it? Yeah? I am now for the first time. You're ready for love ever? First time? But for the owl? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

without a doubt. Bob. Yeah, it's crazy. I know for the first time, I feel like that every kind of getting like terry eye. That's huge, that's amazing. If that's a big growth in the last year or so. So did you go to therapy? Yes, but I also went you've heard on site. Oh I've been there like three times. Oh yeah, it is like changes your miles. Ad Cox is a genius. I was already I was going in a good direction. I've been working on myself. I did.

I don't know what I did. I did by myself for day your phone and um, I left and I didn't leave a different person, but I left with like better tools and knowledge, and you know, how did you just try to situations come? It's not knowing how to get through them, it's it's knowing that they're going to come and how you're going to deal with it, because you never get right. There's no such thing is right. There's just not a right. There's just not right anymore.

It's the tools, and it's so great if anyone is, like, on site is such an amazing place. There's a they have living centered healing trauma. I went for learning how to Love Yourself Michael and I went there for a couple of therapy, I mean for three, I mean it's it's incredible place. And I had a couple of friends, right friends ish um that had said, hey, you should go. Um. The first one was Dave Heywood from Lady and Belle Me.

It's like, dude, you're kind of like me. You know, we're kind of we have we're creating, but we're also running. You know, you should go. He's like, can change my life. And then the last the person who really convinced me was Tyler Hubbard. And we had not been on good terms for years really, yeah, and so because we had both popped off about each other, and then we're just like, screw it. Oh and then we got good again and we're having coffee after Yeah, and he was like I

didn't know that. He's like, dude, you gotta go. And so what was it that you guys didn't like connect? It wasn't that we didn't connect. I got irritated at him because he was he went on satellite, was bashing me for putting billboards up. What is And then it's just all trivial I said trivial things about them, you know, he said. But we were both like, oh, I thought you had a thing with Kip. We did, we got

we we Kip and are great. Yeah, same thing. We just like, hey, let's just get together as humans to talk about this. Yeah, that's something that's the best way to do it. Just communicate your problems and kept and I went in for like two hours. First of all, you got yelled at each other. Then you go, oh, we're kind of the same, and you go, you actually kind of like each other. I kind of like you. Yeah, and in a different way. Yeah, in a different way.

Like I never not been a fan of Casey her music. Oh my gosh, it's so good. I think I misread her early she hates me. I'm pretty I'm pretty convinced she hates me, but I think that's just how she is. I misread her. I acted inappropriately because I misread her. No, of course not, and I did not. And then I apologized to her and I was like, hey, listen, I

think I messed up. I think that well, she's not like the like warmest, and neither am I though, because I'm so insecure, people will go, man, want to dick, But really I'm just like shy and in the corner because I don't think he wants to talk to me. And I shouldn't have projected onto her. Well, and then I and what I do now is I project that she's a you know, not nice because she's not warm with me. Well, just because I'm warm and she's not doesn't mean she's not a lovely person, right, and so,

but we're good I have. I saw her at the A C M S. And I said, hey, are you goodt You're like yeah, we uh like send messages occasionally, like she'll comment on something I put on instant story. I'll coming on her and be like it's great, I play your songs. Is there anyone you're beefing with now, I don't think so. I don't have time. And I'm also I'm an adult man now and I'm not so insecure on my job anymore. I've got to prove anything.

I think. I used to feel like everybody hated me said to prove things and that I wasn't scared, and I would just what kind of girl do you want? Mm hmm. I think that's too open up a question. I think, like I love someone that's confident just because my job is weird. Your job's hard. I mean, you're the Ryan Seacrest and it's weird, and then you know they're Do you hate getting that word? By the way, I didn't mean to say that. Yeah, we're different. I

mean you're different, but you you both work. We work hard, real hard, and we're easy to stomach. You know, we're both pretty safe to Yeah, well, what's one thing? Like? I feel like you've done everything from touring to love how you just switched it over to me and now you go ahead of it? My boy? Anyway? Go ahead? No, I'm like, you have the book, the podcast, the tour, the comedy, this, that everything, what what else do you

want to do is it just settled down? Not just that I think it's not even settled down to me, it's have a partner. This is breaking my heart right now. You guys don't understand. Like, for as long as I feel like I've known you, like that is amazing. I just want someone to The loneliest I get is when I get to do something cool and have nobody to share it with. I know someone who wants to share it with you. Well I doesn't. I'm not dating anybody in the industry. Why maybe not an artist because I

just saw what happened to Lindsay. I love her, She's awesome, which wasn't fair to hurt at all. Yeah, it sucked. I just I don't hate that love her so but it sucked. And I don't want to see that to happen anybody else. So I can't. I can't do that unless I just buy a country format and I mean, you're you're on your way to send you EP and think you but you know, I hate even though it's good, you know, I hate when you send me music and I tell you like I know it's why I didn't.

I was like, can I send you music? And you're like I mean you can, but I don't know. I'm like, well, but your word means a lot. But I go music and I'm gonna listen. I'm gonna be like, it's good what you mean to do? Like and even saying there's I don't something. I want you to do something, but it's just it's do you like it or you don't like because if you don't like it, okay, cool. I don't. He doesn't like that one and he's got the ear. I don't want to be in that place. I'm just

one one year your friend, but I'm one year. If you sent me a joke, I'd be like, that's stupid or that's funny, or like if you sent me like your dance that was good, if I didn't think it was good, I'd be like, you have some work to do. Yeah, I just don't. I don't. I don't think music from from you, and you're a friend. I don't think for any of my friends early, even Dirk's who I'm probably closest to. So when I send you like the produced produced like done, don't listen. Casey sent me her before

it came out, and I wouldn't listen. And I'm that's probably gonna play it. That's no, you'll get played, okay, okay, whatever you get played. And it's not always just about getting played anymore. It's finding other avenues for people to find it. You know, so, and I know that. So that's I mean, you know that. What do you think about? The radio is dying? They've always said that TV has also been dying, or just I don't think about radio. To me, isn't just coming to the FM air waves.

Maybe if you go, but even then it's not for a long time. But radio to me is where's on my phone and what's in my car? What's in like radio? To me isn't just going to a transmitter. This is radio. To me, what we're doing, Yeah, anything that people can consume is radio. So my version of it's different than if you asked some fifty year old dude in Madison, Wisconsin, who's been really doing radio? You know, it's all live. Radio to me is actually we're in an audio revolution,

if anything, what audio evolutions. Look at your podcast, you're doing radio anyone. You can find anything you want to hear about it does no matter what your hobbyists. You love the Simpsons, you love Rubber Duckies, my Little Pony, Dancing with the Stars podcast, What Doesn't Matter. There's something for everyone, and that to me is amazing because that's radio. I love it. So I feel the opposite, you know I feel. And also I just think, if you're good,

people find you. It's it. Eventually, people find you. Whatever you're doing, your podcast people, he grows because you guys do a good job. Thanks. Yeah, we're excited about it. I really like, I really do enjoy it. So we need to do a radio show together one day, and we're doing a radio sho right now. You've been pretty much taking this one over.
