The Warren Brothers

could be adult content. Hey, y'all, welcome to Hyper Caroline Hobby. I'm your host, Caroline Hobby, and this week is a riot. I am not even kidding. The Warren Brothers are with us. They are two brothers. They have toured the country with Timmgraw Faith Hill, They've gotten into wild shenan Agains with Dirk Spentley. Obviously, Tim and I laughed so hard during this interview. I cannot wait for you'll hear it, So please get excited for the Warren Brothers. Are we Hyper?

I think I named the show Hyper because y'are my first guest, and I wanted to be fitting to who you were a lot of caffeine in this room. Um, next time, I want my own microphone. I know, I'm new, I'm getting started. Okay, doing very well, by the way, Well thank you. I like the one microphone. If you have multiple microphones, it's kind of like a press conference. It does make us feel more important. It does probably will keep us from talking over each other this one.

So who's who? Tell me the difference between the two of you all, because y'all are such a duo. I'm Brad and I have a bigger penis. Have you all compared? We're brothers, but like you have to like compared to all sizes, right, I mean, we've been around each other a long time, so it's been a long it's not awkward, and it's just you know, I have daughters that at some point they'll probably watch the show and then be like, Dad, were you talking about you and uncle Brad's weise they

don't want to hear them. They don't want to hear it story because I want to tell him these stories. Yeah, yeah, he's going to ruin it for me. Proud moment. It's a proud moment. Okay, So what's the difference between the two of y'all? I'm the youngest. Although I have gray hair really and look older, I'm actually two and a half years younger. Are you more stressed? I must be, I must be. I always joke around say it was very difficult to carry him for all these years, and

it must have been. This was so difficult. I don't know. My grandfather had like gray hair when he was thirty, so since I made it to forty, it kind of felt like a won genetic part. If it turns gray, then it turns loose. That's what our family always says to him. Better if your hair, but if it turns gray,

then if it turns loose, you can diet. Yeah, I won't you know that sort of creepy grand old opry look when I start dying and it looks like that your hair gets kind of like this orange ish maroon, you know what I mean, And then you have a great beard anyway, Like I want to say to the guys like that have a comb over, or people that wear wigs, or guys that color their hair, like we know,

don't you know? I mean when you see somebody like you have a hair piece, you color your hair and you have a comb over, it's like I don't know what they're hiding. So I just said, you know what, I'm just gonna sort of be old and gray, okay, because like, losing your hair is a real thing for guys. It's a fear right and not for I mean, honestly, God cursed me with bow legs and buck teeth. But and so we have our own afflictions, but we have

we got all our hair, are our family. There's not a lot of bolless, but it's we were blessed with that. There's a lot of other guys that have everything but hair, everything but hair. Okay. Not you guys are the Warren brothers. They're looking good. Okay, Okay, mine still got a little shampoo and it I didn't even get a chance to rent very well today. Okay, wow, it looks good, guys. Thanks only you're not losing your hair either, by the way, and it's looks very nice, thank you. But your husband

has nicer hair than you. He has a nice hair. But I mean, like when you guys walk in, people go, oh my gosh, look beautiful hair, and they're talking about him and they're like, what beautiful hair, And Caroline isn't bad tip, but he cut it. I thought it was did you make him so it wouldn't make you look bad? No? I think he just finally like thought maybe like with the times. You know, when when Johnny Depp cuts his hair, I think that means everyone has to cut their hair.

You got at least above the rad Pitt and Johnny Depp cut their hair. Yeah, I think that means that you gotta go at the times. I'll watch Pirates in the Caribbean with my family last night. I know that movie is ten years old, but Johnny Depp is so awesome, and that his Keith Richard's character. Him and Keith Richards. If they do something, you gotta follow. Yeah, if you want to stay on the cool curb. Okay, So I have a lot of questions. I'm gonna take this bracelet off.

It's banging. It's jingle jangling. I was going to say it was banging, like, yeah, can I wear it? You can't? Along with your this is a good look. Do you wear this often? And the long underwear? No, I just did it just for your shoulder. It's the hunter. This is this is if you're going squirrel hunting, but you may stop. Buy Applebee's for a nice dinner before I was gonna say, you're going squirrel hunting, but you you

got a game of tennis later this afternoon. And this is this is not just a black shirt, this is black long underwear. This is long h Okay, you can be warm and look like a loser. Yes, that's nice. Okay. So I of course, now that I am interviewing people, I get stock and it's totally not creepy when you stop, because you have to know your facts. Right. So you guys are in a heavy metal Christian man. Oh yeah, how did that come about? And how on earth did

you translate that into country music? Eventually? We were raised by a total hillbilly who loved country music and would sing. We were when we were boys, got a trundle bad you know what that is to roll it out. So Brad slept on the top and I was on the bottom of Dad would come in and play Roger Miller and Johnny Cash and just old country songs. He loved it, and so he hated it, so we hated it. We

ran from it, and we loved rock and roll. The first time we heard sweeth Holme Alabama and we were like, see you later, Dad, we're going over here, and and then we just started loving you know, it was eighties medal and we were into it. And we went to a Christian school. We weren't allowed to like go to places at sold beer, and we weren't allowed to listen to thing but Christian music. So we started playing in a Christian metal band and backfire a little bit. We've

realized something years later, even Jesus hates Christian rock. He did it. There's no doubt, did you scream? He basically sing the same way he does now, which is why we didn't make it. His artists, give me a little taste of one of your songs. Can I have a little chorus? And one of your songs come? I don't remember? Yes you do? I? Oh, come on? This is the first song we ever wrote. Oh yeah, let's hear it. This is going back to like this is Junior hot I am Oh. Which is what's ironic is that was

I'm Gonna Get. That was like thirty years ago, and that sounds like the intro to Jason Aldean's new single. So maybe he ripped you guys off you s Yeah, it's great. Are going to sue no people? Okay, you don't people, because way too many people could see y'all for sure. I'm looking at your questions. Understand, I'm at said. Anything out shiny or something I can read, I will wander. I'm trying not to smooth. We might be owners one day. Why not you're gonna partner up. We're not a friend

that's owns a bunch of smoothie kings. Yeah, okay, I want to start off with a little bit of rapid fire. If you had to be the pet dog to one celebrity, who would it be? And why make it good? Right now or like twenty years ago? Whatever you want? Well, I'm saying because I want to be like Hi, twains pet fifteen years ago, just in case I got to swim in the toilet before she had to peek. I don't know. But but now that I'm older, right, Yeah, who's pet would I be? Or is that to be?

Who's pet dog would you be? And why? I think that would be Brian Kelly from Florida, Georgia lines And I'll just leave it at that. But those dogs have good lives, very sleepy, it's happening, very sleepy. They eat a lot of doggy treats. They're hungry there there. I would I think I would be be case. They take their dogs on my trips. They're like they have a pin under his bunk in the bus where the dogs have The dogs have a similar bed too the artists. Yeah,

that's a good life for a dog. So so right now, for right now, and we'll give them where I am in life. I would be cased. Okay, okay, I would be Donald Trump's dog. So I could be there in the morning in the bathroom and see how he does his hair. I really want to see how you want the inside dirt. Well, it's not Dirt's pretty impressive. Actually, do you think it's a come over or do you think it's a comb over? But but it's it is

his comeb over. It's like his real hair. You think, h yeah, if you got that much money and you're gonna buy a head of hair, it wouldn't look like that. I'm pretty sure. Okay, Okay, we talked a lot about here today. Who would you let punch you in the face? Just more why? But he probably throws a big punch. He's got muscles. Yeah, let me retract that. Umo, who gonna let punch me in the face. I don't know, Trace Atkins. If you're gonna do it, do it right.

You know, some big dude, I let Tray Satins right in the face. You're going down with that and I could be a wounded veteran. You have to take care of me, So there you go go ahead. I mean, if we were just sitting there, like are being really honest, we were just sitting in a room and there weren't mikes on. I have about four really funny ones, but they're kind of offensive too. Is there anyone you can say just say, don't say this is going world. Choose

your words wisely. There's been a lot of people that punched me in the face before. Really yeah, he's punched me in the face before. Puncher. It's pretty good hurt. He's a good bread actually, for the record, is a is a good fighter. He always was and now he's like a black belt and pake onondos. He's kind of that pathetic dad good fighter. You know, I'm not a good He's about to beat up some kids from Belmont every now and then, like the traffic in front of me.

He looks like an old guy. He can kick your ass. You always look scrappy. Ya got it. Y'all got muscles. I would probably let um Natalie Mains punch me in the face. I really want her to punch me in face. Okay, any particular reason so you can punch her back pretty much? Okay, are you? Johnny Manziel I should have never picked a girls. Sorry, well she's a she's you're trying to cheat. I know. I wasn't looking at that time. I was looking around for the thermostat because it's hot in here. We maybe

maybe your thermal? Yes, I actually it is better. Who's your celebrity free pass? And why celebrity free pass? Explain that to me? Like, who would your wives be okay with if y'all had, you know, Dolly Parton, Yeah, she would totally allow that. Yes, Dolly would be awesome. You think we kind of feel sorry for you? Oh, Dolly's got it. That's gotta be rough underneath the Hey, do you have to stay all night or do you use yours? I'm talking about mine, don't. Don't. Don't get into my world, Dolly,

what about you? There's none and there's so many Like let's say, by the way, just so you know, no wife and husband that really love each other, that whole you get one day and one person that doesn't really exist. Because it sounds like a good idea, but if you ever see, like in decent proposal, your ends bad. Yeah yeah, that bakes everything on eighties movies. That's just so you know you die. Is this kind of awkward to say, But I think mine would be Michael Hobby, So I'll

tell you that's a good choice. You would not be disappointed. Look, we write good songs in them, and I want that to continue. So I don't want Ney visuals or nothing, say it. I mean you can to only be so lucky, right, decision Okay, and then let's end with what's the best decision you've ever made? And what's the worst decision you've ever made. I know it's gonna be tough for you guys. You guys made a lot of decisions. Starting drinking is the worst and stopping drinking was the best. Was it

fun in between? Yeah? Yeah, it was fun, really really fun, right up until it wasn't anymore. How long did you guys drink before you got sober? We drank, but there's probably ten years of really good heart. Yeah, we had a decade of until five of that was killer, two of that was kind of killer, and three of it was getting really dark. So the tail end was not good. What made you guys decide to go sober? It wasn't working anymore, you know, wasn't It wasn't fun anymore. It

ever stops being fun. Me, I don't. I don't have a problem with people that drank. I'm not one of those people. I don't really I don't think it's a sin. But for me, I had a problem with it. So when you get to the point where it starts to ruin your life, you gotta be honest and go, hey, this sucks. What's what's funny about that? And we're pretty

honest about not doing it. When we told people that we were quitting and I would rehab and I when I tell people, I was expected to be really surprised and they would go, oh, good for you, thank you, so good for you. I'm like, wow. So everybody music business, you can think that if you quit, especially if you're in the throne of it, if you quit drinking, people are gonna stop talking to you or like you. And everybody for us was like, thank God, can here give

me a hug? Well, I mean we started talking to us again. Exactly. It's never a bad thing to get that together. So you guys do everything together, including sobriety. At the same time, it wasn't about three days apart. That would be fun for one of you guys to be bottle of crown on our tour bus and it would get pretty much finished every night. So we started firing people in the man that were drinking because they

were drinking too much. Until nobody in the band or carew drank with the two of us, and the bottle of crown was still gone every night. So pretty you can't. Pretty apparent we had a problem that maybe you guys are the one. Okay, we'll congrats on that. That's a big deal. Thanks, and that's a big accomplishment and it's awesome. I can do it together. Yeah, we don't actually get So what's your best decision? Well, that's probably the truth.

I don't know. The best decision was, you know, getting married, starting a family, because that's the best decision. I mean, it's I still love it. It's really great. What do you love about marriage? I just I'm one of those guys who likes to be married. It's cool, you know. I just like the I like the home. I'm kind of a homebody, I guess because we were so wild for so long. I like being home. I like being

my kids. My favorite time of the day is all of us at the dinner table eating dinner together at night. Like I'm kind of old school in that way, and it's just fun for me. I mean, you wouldn't thank you, but so I love it. I love just hanging out with my kids and coaching football. And I took my girls on a date Saturday. I took him to I got him a massage, and I took him to you

my daughters. I took my daughter's to to on a date and one of them had a blast, and one of them said they had a terrible time because me and the other daughter were being obnoxious and she doesn't like it. It was just funny. It was like I thought, I was like, oh, this is this great point. One of my daughters like, this is the greatest day because this was terrible. I do not want to go out with you guys. Too outrageous for her. Yeah, I mean,

just they're just so different. Always who thought it was terrible? Lee was like you and being obnoxious. He's got one that's just like him, one's just like me. And I would tell them. I said, look, I'm gonna walk thirty ft in front of you in the mall. I'm gonna do something. And when I turn around after I do it, if you're laughing, I win. If you're not laughing, you win.

So like I ran up in front of this older couple's walking, I ran, jumped in air and clicked my heels together and I turned and they were losing it laughing. And so then there was like in the gap they had a big poster like all these different colored lips, like because they're selling lipstick. And I went up and I was kissing one of the lips nine people. And I guess I took it too far from my one daughter that's more concerned. If she was like, okay, people,

I don't like the obnoxious. So where does that come from? You guys are just absolutely fearless and crazy and wild. I've watched a lot of stuff on you guys on the internet, and there's not good looking enough? Are looking enough? No, we're not. We were never good. We were too skinny and ugly to be like just normal. We had to be like funny or no, our dad was funny. So did you try to be funny or did you just work? Yeah, we tried. I don't think so you try all the time.

You're funny. You're trying, now, any funny I try. I try. Like, if it's there, I say it. You know what I mean. There's sometimes there's this joke hanging and that's gotten us in trouble before. This joke is sitting there and you're like, I know that somebody's getting defended, but three people are gonna crazy like that. So I don't. I don't try not to. Okay, I know that's funny, but I'm gonna leave it there. So that part, I guess I'm trying, but the funny thought just pops into the head. I

just can't do it. So this is fine. He's telling me that I take suburbanite dad taekwondo and the guy that teaches a class during the class, I mean, he's pretty serious, like he's kind of Cramer on Seinfeld, the kid. Well, no, growing grown man. You just have to kind of stand top of it, even though we're not we're not UFC fighters. You have to make sure it doesn't get out of hand,

so he's kind of serious. No, just when people are fighting each other that you can escalate quickly, you know what I mean, even if you're not mad at each other, but you're sparring. Long story short, everybody, everything was kind of serious in the in the head master comes walking by and I leaned and I said, is it just me or does And I mentioned this guy's name. I said,

does he look like a retired porn star? I just whispered it to him in the middle class and he lost it, like he's like and he's like it was like he was the leader of the class. Yeah. I asked him if somebody else looked like I thought, you know, they called h Well, it's just whatever. But the point was, here's a guy who's being really serious in the middle of a class that he's teaching. And I mean, I just couldn't hold the joke. And I made him laugh so hard he had to like just tell us to

do an exercise. He had to walk off. He was like belly gut laughing because it was the last thing anybody in his class would say to him. But I'm standing there, dead serious, and he walked by and said, I leaned forward just whispered untilim I stood back up, you know, like that you're second in the military. I stand at attention. I mean, dude, I got him. It was like I got punched him. He was like, he's just like everybody really serious. They're looking like, what did

you just saying? I look straight for like it was not prying? Or is that just not know skipping the joke that do you guys not care about consequences? We struggle. We struggle of that. What you should interview our wives and see if it's one of those things where it's when it pops into your head. Okay, I want to see his son play basketball Friday night and there was this kid on his team and I said, man, that

kids like John Hinckley Jr. And he did. It's like, so, I don't know if I'm trying because I say it to him, but it just pops on my head. Man, that kid looks like John, and everyone else is thinking it it's fun for us to make people laugh, So I don't. I don't know. My dad used to tell us he is when you guys are really talented musically, but don't ever lose your sense of humor because that's what people like about you, and I think that we

just try to stick with it. When you guys are dynamic duo, it's fun to be with Thanks, good fun to be with you. Thanks guys. So how did you decide who's lead, who's back up, he's playing what? It wasn't very hard at Dodd God decided that at twelve he could play the guitar really good and I didn't play anything. And then he's actually a really good singer. But then I just started singing. I got better at singing because they they asked me to be in their band.

I was like, I don't want to be in a band. I want to play basketball. And they're like, come on to the practice on Friday night. We would practice at our church, and so we went out there to the church and they set up on the stage we would practice music, and every girl from our school was there and all the girls from everywhere I was and I was like, you know what, I'll give this a try. I'll give it a shot. So we made him the

drummer and the singer. Yep, we wanted to be a night ranger, okay, And then years later we met Jack Blade and we were kind of disappointed, but he wasn't funny. We weren't to be funny or think we were funny, but he did not not either. Okay, so God decided you're player to I did not. Really, you say you're a bad as singer and you're the guitar. There, you just said you're the singer. That was all stated perfectly. I think I think you're a bad singer. Okay, it

right there. I can't right there. Hands like when people ask us if we lived together, that's always really funny. Well, I got separate text from you guys that you are coming at separate times, And for a second, I was like, why are you all texting separately? And then I was like, because you do have separate lives. Well, and Brett lost his phone today, Like my, my freaking teenagers don't lose their phone. I don't know how. I'm not gonna ask

how that happened. I went duck hunting yesterday with and I never go duck hunting, and this guy took me and we had to get up a two thirty in the morning, and when I was getting out of the car, I was just so glad to be home and I wanted to get in my bed, so definitely to It's like you're waiting through waste eat water for like a mile, carrying backpacks of fake ducks. It was really fun, but it was a lot, like it was a lot. And when I got and it was two and half hours away,

so there's five hours of driving. I gotta have a two three in the morning, and I just left it in this couple older it happens and then he's pulling away. I can't run after Hi. How do I call him? There's no house phones? No, are you old enough to know? Are you too young to not shoul phrase it like that to know about the phones on the wall? Kids know about the phone of the wall? I mean they got a TV. Yeah, so each other's iPhone was sick. They know about it, though, I mean they know that

we had it right. I did not know you guys saying the theme song to Where the Heart Is on that movie that was my favorite breaking movie? Was that a big deal? Now? And Sarah at the time all was mad that it wasn't a bigger hit because they convinced us to do this kind of cheeseball song in this setball movie. It wasn't like, I don't know seventeen or something. For us. It wasn't hit. Um yeah, yeah, not nothing in the middle of it seemed like it was all that big of a UM yeah. I liked

it was cool. I like saying with Sarah was it was. It was a good song. That was an amazing song. It's one of those songs everybody asked us to play that we don't know how to play really and we didn't write it, so we're like, we probably should do that, should do that. I don't know. Then you're then you're like Andy Griggs on a cruise ship or something like, we're songwriters. The artist's career was kind of like a

little thing. Not no offense any Griggs on the cruise ship, by the way, but you know we're not, um, we're not trying to continue our artist career. That part. Where did the arts career go? I didn't know. We made went to the artist's grade yard. We made a conscious decision to stop being artists and to start being songwriters.

I literally think the day that we got our first b and my check after having a top five record, we went, oh, that's a lot of money, and in three dates and broke even like you three days on the road as an artist at our level and just churning it just to break even, and it was killing us physically everything. And then we wrote a hit for eight Hill and we went to the mailbox and open it up and went, why what we do more? Lucky Lucky. Within within a six month period, it's like we got sober.

We wrote a hit with um with our four Faith Hill, and and our wives kind of had agreed to stay with us, but kind of under the assumption that we were gonna not be gone two hundred days a year um to stay with us. Oh yeah, and they deserved I mean yeah, we were absolutely the hell yeah that we have. Of course we had to convince them, um. But a lot of life changes happened, like right at one time, and right along with those life changes, and there was no ultimating like you can't go on the road,

but it was just uncomfortable time. And then we had a hit and they like, right when all this was kind of going on, we gotta be in my check and I went, Okay, decision made. We're gonna stay here and do it. We just I don't think we struggle as ours because we were because because we well ones, you know, We just were all over the map, which is as a writer great, right, Like we write with Neo and then we write with Nickelback and we'll write with It's all. We love all of it. I love

all of it. But as artists was like, you can't we get to New York and play in the in the rock labels would go, Wow, that's really you guys are awesome country band. Then we would come play in Nashville, they would go, man, you're like one of the coolest rock bands you've ever seen. This was fifteen years ago. We were a little progressive. Guys are progressive, and I totally agree. You guys have such wild personalities that can't be harnessed and that thank you, it makes sense that

that reflects in your music. I totally get it. Yeah, this kind of just say what you think think is not great as an artist, and we were doing like the rock thing that your husband's now living off of what we created. He actually told me to tell you thank you. All these guys. We were very much a little bit rock in country before it was okay to do on radio. But I mean it's honestly, the songs

were really not that good. We were much better writers. Now, if I could go back to one of years so much or I would change anything, I wouldn't change anything. But I do know how to become a hit artist. Now, Well find hit song, find or write hit songs. Don't be so married to to recording what you wrote, don't worry about who's playing on your record, who wrote the songs.

Find something that's your patrick ground and do that. And then don't say everything that comes to your mind, which is something that we did a lot, which I think it's amazing, which is okay. So I'm kind of I'm rabbit trailing something that came to your mind. So after y'all have this artist career, well you tour to Tim McGraw. First, I want to talk about Barely Famous, and I want to talk about your hits, but I also want to talk about after touring with Tim McGraw in faith, what

was that like? Because you guys are best friends. Do you all even have matching tattoos? No? No, we almost I'm matching tattoos. He tried to get us to get the dance hall doctor tattoos. I was telling the guy, I was telling the guy that took me duck. He's like, how did you meet to him? And I was like, well, when our first single came out, we opened for Faith

and she's amazing. She was a she was blow enough at the time, like this Kiss had just come out like this, But it was theater tour and our manager got us on there and she liked us and it was really cool. We were still on the side of the stage and this like country guy in a baseball he would walk out on stage with her in the place where he erupted, and we knew who Tim McGraw was.

Our dad liked Indian outlaw. But one day they had a flag football game and Tim walk by and said, you guys played football, and we're like yeah, So he goes, you want to be on my team? And we played like the street football game, and me and Brad and Tim just like lit it up and we beat Faith's band really bad and we have been friends ever since. Well, he said later, because you guys play basketball, and we played basketball like three on three, and then he literally asked, hey,

I'm going on tour. And it was when Dixie Chicks had just blown up with wide opens Facey said, I'm going on tour with me and the Dixie Chicks. If you guys want to come out with us, you'll be the third one on the bill. Will play basketball every day, That's what he said. He wasn't like, I love your songs. He goes, we'll play basketball every day, and we're really Once that sound check, we were out playing songs we had just written, and he came up to us after

the sound check. It was like, what were you just playing? And we were like something he just wrote. He's like, man, I love your songwriting. I'm gonna listening. So he kind of became a fan of our songwriting, thank god, and written a couple of hits for him. So we've written we've actually had like twenty Tim McGraw cuts, what cuts. Yeah, we've had three hits, but I don't care if you're reading this. If you're reading this, and I felt good on my lips were with the hits, but we had,

I mean tons of cuts on his outwork. But he really loves so he did love our songwriting. But we became friends to playing basketball in sports. But we opened the for Faith that first very first tour we ever did, and then we opened for Tim and the Dixie Chicks, and then we went out and opened for Tim and faith On sold a Soul just the two of us acoustically, and then after that we opened for Tim again, and then after we quit me an artists and we're just friends.

We oh, we played in his band in two thousand and eight, the whole year and two thousand ten. That just was really cool to play. It was really cool to play at dark, you know, because we were always playing. It was cool to play at nighttime. There are people there and there a yeah. Yeah. People always to refer to us as the Kato Kaylin and the McGraw family on the O J. Kse Katokaylin, the guy that lived in the guesthouse. I know, I know, but I have

a really bad memory. So what does that mean exactly? Howes that translate? Kato Kaylin was like living in O. J. Simpson's guesthouse when he chopped his wife up. So if you don't get the initial joke, it probably isn't that funny. Just cut all this out? Is there any is there any way we could say use some form of joke like that. Again, that's not Kato Camelina. So what were you guys like in the band and Tim's Yeah, we were like unnecessary. We were sort of like not in

a minute. There was a few parts that we had that were like meaningful. He gave me a couple of solos and Brett played the harmonica on some stuff that you were plugged in that right, Oh yeah, we're plugged in because you're a badass and you're we were kind of yer hesitated. Again, I didn't know if we're friends with all the guys and Tim's man, I think we were just we were out there to mix it up and have bumbled them and make them. You know what's

the craziest story. Well, I was stage diving every night, which Joe, by the way, this is during playing in Tim's band, was during sober years, So the crazy stories are was the last time we played in his band. And I would run and jump and stage dive and Tim and I was at the time almost forty years old. I'm like, I'm almost forty, I'm stage dive and this is I'm actually living my dream. The eighties Christian rock

thing was coming back every night. They I mean I would get the guy I would tell a sexual on stage give and so I would run and I mean launch, and all the people would catch me and then we'll leave back to the stage. Well, some lady was standing one night looking at Tim when her teeth I hear smiling, And when they passed them back to the stage, they smashed it and smashed their teeth out. So we had, I guess Tim and to fix your teeth and we had to quit stage. Yeah, okay, so we weren't even

talking forty five minutes. This has been a blast. Let me get through a little bit, really hoping we're gonna get to be able to talk about my weekend. But it's okay. Let me hear you about your weekend really fast, and then three questions. First your weekend that I want to hear about. Craziest during king day story you can tell me. Craziest sober day story you can tell me. And then I want to hear about your biggest hits and then barely famous and then we're rapping. Can you

do that all in to a minute? Forget my weekend that would be at the very very end of First, you're you're cheating. You can't help keep looking. I wasn't looking. I was making sure my cup is behind there so it's out of the camera shot. What's the craziest drinking story you can share with me with the celebrity mty. I mean like the fun well cheez, you know. One of the times it was like a not it's like a crazy drinking store. But it wasn't like funny. We

had some moonshine. Someone broad out and we were in like Des Moines, Iowa and I stood up on this bridge and I was I was gonna jump off this bridge into a cannon ball after this moonshine. I had too much and for whatever reason, you know when you're stand up on the diving boarders, is that moment where you just make yourself jump, except when you're on a bridge. I'm on a bridge. I was gonna jump in the water into a cannonball and then swim ashore. You have

no idea what's below, you know. I would have had to drinking too much moonshine. And the next morning I woke up and it was one of those concrete rivers the James Water out of the city, and the water was only like a foot deep, and I was like that close to jump into a cannabi, which means I wouldn't be here today. So that's the story I always revered. I was like, oh my gosh, I could have died. Who could have died with a small child and a wife and such a sad one. I have a I

have a real or fake. We're not trying to get you to vote for me for like Artists of the Year, Like I don't care. O, my god, that's so Baron Morris, not you. Um, I don't know. I said that. I thought of one I can tell. So we're in Washington, d C. Good look, Um, Jerk's Bentley was just coming out as a new artist and some reason we were Washington, d C. And we went into a bar together and we were just being like our regular saw regular like

Tuesday night or whatever. And um, we were at some point in this like sports bar, just like a kind of a clean sports bar. We were doing full out tackle drills for football, like in the middle of the board, knocking each other dirks. And we had a couple other

friends and you know, members and whoever else around. So um, the next day, Dirk's is doing a show and he's opening for us, which is kind of funny because it's you know, that's how early it was for him and he um, he said, yeah, you go up with your friends normally, and you have a couple of beers and you have a little headache the next day, and you know you drank a little too much. He goes, I went out with the Warm Brothers last night. He said.

I woke up and I started car this morning that I didn't know where I was with the door open, one boot the other one completely missing, and my tooth chipped rib and a cracked rib. He had a cracked Frida. How this happened? Didn't We have a pretty good idea. We started somehow it started with the tackling. I'm not

sure exactly what happened. The following night, we kidnapped him and he went up riding our bus home and we called Joe Galani, who was the president of our record label, and Dirk's left him like a twenty minute message on how he was ruining our career because he wasn't releasing the right songs. Um. It was like a full forty eight hours of I think it was. Whatever whatever bad drinking Dirts has done since then, it's probably because we

introduced him to that night. Okay, so you started it. Yeah, yeah, that's one that I can tell that you can tell. What's the craziest Timcgrawl story that you can tell. Well, we go down to uh this island that they have and we jumped jet skis and we is he's huge jet boats and the waves you're all in. When they're big, I mean you can hit him and you can jump

over a school boss, and the waves are small. One day and Brad was jumping the waves going the wrong direction, like back towards the shore, and the boat flipped over and smashed his ankle and like snapped it like his like his legs going down his ankles like hang, he's got oh he broke his legs. So his foots like dangling like this and when the boat shouting into the bottom, it smashed it. It looked at somebody had beat him up in the gang fight. It's smash him against the

coral reef into his face. So he's laying he's I'm like, I was like, oh, no, I could tell when he's really hurt. You know, I'm dude, he's really hurt. Don't touch him for saying that. Well, look he could even talk. And Tim's like, your leg's not hurt, reaching down grabs him by the by the life mess and just like pulls him up on this boat and banks this brads like passes out, Like I mean, we had to like take him. He's lucky he didn't lead to death. But

I mean we were always doing something. We're always pushing it. So you guys are like, so lucky to be alive many ways, Yeah, what what life do you think you're on? You know, cat has nine lives, ten or eleven probably, I mean, you know, it's funny. It's at some points we get like we're not totally adrenaline junkies, but we'll keep up with one if we're out with one, Like with Tim, we go spear fishing and we're out swimming and the shark is chasing Tim and we're in the

water too, and I'm like, what are we doing? So I like it. We're into but it's we We always when we were doing drugs, we would start to panic and and go, oh my god, this is too much. We need to stop. So there was a little bit of a of a you know, safety thing that would that would click off at us and go this we're getting this is getting too far, which eventually luckily let us to quit. But funny drinkings, we can it's not. We can't what was your favorite drug of choice? Just

pretty much whatever showed up I think. I mean, when you have an alcohol problem, you don't remember a lot. Just say this. We loved Crown Royal and there's things that help you drink more of it. Okay, I know that would have been you know, whatever helped us feel to drink more Crown Royal and not have to go to sleep ever. Okay, so tell me about Barely Famous. This is a show on CMT two seasons. You guys are wild. I stalked you down one you're like riding

motorcycles with Keith Urban into dairy Queen. Another time, you Brad dare Brett to say faux Paul as you were announcing like the new artists at the A c ens and you have to work in the word faux Paul and you did it. Now it didn't even seem like a thing at all at the time, and now like they let it. First of all, we weren't really big enough to be presenting an award. I don't know why they love us. We never read the teleprompter. If we

went out there, they give us a teleprompter once. This is another true story they give us a teleprompter with some whatever to say, and we went out and did the Hunter S. Thompson had a quote and I went out and said, the music business is a music is a plastic trench filled with pimps and thieves where good men die like dogs. And then and then he says and then he says, yeah, and there's also a downside, something totally like oaklykle about. It's the crazy thing too.

This is like the five people that knew us, like Tim and Faith. Of course we're always on the front row and Tim was always like I was like, no, no, But the funny thing I watched that about four or five months ago. My daughter found on YouTube and she showed it to me. The funny thing is after we say that, there's kind of a everybody kind of laughs a little bit. And I said, it's okay, you'll get it tomorrow. Yeah, I swear I'll never forget. Big Kenny's

the only one that laughed the big thing. He was like, thank you. But you guys would just do anything. I love I love it. There was a time when we would Yeah, I dare YouTube, put your head through that window. Okay, I mean there's a little bit of that. What was your favorite episode on Barely Famously Owned the Calonics? Yeah, that was pretty funny, did y'alls it was it just you too that did the clonic? Did anything come out? I've done a clonic before, and I had a tape worm,

I'll be honest. Yeah, there's yeah. You want to tape worm though, so you can eat whatever you want. No, you don't want to tapework. And you can see it coming out of the clonic. It's disgusting. It's amazing that that bread had like a coach's whistle, and and and and some some apple jacks, but um, and there was a gerbil. I don't know. It's say, while ye what came out? You think cool? But nothing came out of lunch color? Though it wasn't like brown like dude like

you think. It was like toxic orange. I was waiting for this. You're not gonna believe how good you feel later. To be fair to the calonic giver and the people that like that, at the time, I was probably full of a lot of other things that made you feel good right away, so it didn't. But I kept waiting and waiting and waiting to feel good, and I felt nothing. Violated,

you know across that's really funny. I did go to the rape crisis center immediately after weeks, but we thought that would be really funny, and then when we got there, it wasn't funny like it's And so that's what made it really funny because really actually being at home and my phone rings, I pick it up and it's Dan Huff, who's enormous country producer who never calls me, and it's like, are you getting a colonic on Live to on TV

right now? I was like, oh, yeah, you're you're watching that and he's like, oh my gosh, good night check. I was like, Okay, we gotta wrap up. This is almost an hour. I can't believe it. Tell me your biggest hits that you've written. Um, we wrote, uh felt good on my lips, Highway, don't care. And if you're reading this for Tim mcgrawl, we wrote co wrote. We all have co writers on these songs, but we're not going to mention because we don't care. They're red Solo

Cup for Toby Keith anyway and wrong maybe wrong? And how I feel for Martina McBride, Lucky One for Faith, um feel that Fire for Dirk s Bentley a little bit everything. Um, Urban, Red, White and Blueford drink to that all night. Oh that was a big yeah, good job guys. So yeah, and then we've had a lot of album cuts. Consider it used to mean something. We had a song on live like you were dying, five million copies whatever that makes just make money off that?

Not anymore. Um, Okay, what are you most excited about? We just signed publishing do a big loud shirt and we're excited about it. We're hearing a new small powerful company, super powerful and small mighty, and it's something we've never had and it's just a new chapter. We feel like we're writing better than we've ever written. And it's you know, we're in our mid forties now, so we feel like we're almost as than sure. It's like a year old now,

so we're like a young executive. Okay, I mean I'm about to retire, but I think now I'm just kidding. We work with guys that are much closer to our son's ages, and that's how we actually act and feel. So it's this is a good company because it's guys. There's some older guys, but it's very young. Feel I feel like I'm working at Google instead of getting my teeth pulled every day. Um, it's a really cool place. So we're we actually are working harder but having more

fun than we've ever had. Okay, that's that's the dream. I like. I'm going to start ending all of my podcast sessions with a moment called leave your light. So leave me some inspiration, something that either inspired you or what you want to inspire people by saying I had a great quote just last week, So I'll throw that one. Build your own dreams or someone else will hire you to help them build theirs? So true. I love that. That's so bizarre. Then I was going to say the

exact same thing. You really swear to guy. We saw it in the same place, but I just I took it home and wrote it down. I saw it this morning. I wrote it down and take it to my refrigerator from my four children. Build your own dreams or somebody else is going to hire you to help them build theirs? And talk about that. Are you guys that in sync with each other? Sometimes it's frightening We're not. It's a twin today And I said, is your sister did you

get married? She goes, yeah, said, what about your sister. Yep, she just got married too. I said, what's the difference, she's about six months. I was like, we're not twins, but we might look together. Since I was fourteen, he was sixteen. Like all we did was music together for ever. I love it. That's amazing. Well do you guys fight? Yeah,

I mean normal humans humans. If we were brothers, it would be impossible to have a relationship like this because we shared a trundle bed in a bedroom for most of our lives, so we can kind of get through whatever. But yeah, we we argue, and it's funny. We have really good chemistry obviously in a writing room, but they will also we can get into it. And we've been a duo in the music industry longer than any other duo except the Bellamy Brothers should be dominated for doing alive.

I just made that. I was totally okay, Warren Brothers, build your own, your own dreams, or someone else would hire you to help them build theirs. I love that advice. And I think you guys are doing with this show. You know what's it called hyper hyper hyper? So are we still have an invitation to be part of this? On a regular blation. I want you guys to be host. I'm kind of sold on you. I told you, I told you guys. I tried to convince you by the

way I can. There's everyone gets better at what they do, but you can either do that ship or you can't. You know what I mean? Killer at it? Well I did get one piece of advice. I need to lower my voice. Sometimes I talk hi lower annoying. It's like a female yeah, but I just need to keep it low. What's great about these podcast things is they're honest and they're real. That that advice or wells okay, we're rapping. Love you guys, Warren Brothers, Peace, Carol Love. She's a

queen of talking. He got the snoop on No Carol Carol. I hope that you guys loved hearing from the Warren Brothers. Those guys are absolutely insane and out of their minds and the best way possible I love them. Next week is so awesome. We have Jamie Lynn Spears joining us and she talks all about what it was like to grow up as a child star. She had a big hit on Nickelodeon. Also, what was like being Britney spears sister,

And it's right before her big TV debut special on TLC When the Lights Go Out that's airing on June six, so you're not gonna want to miss it.
