00:00:00
Speaker 1: Were you going to mention Willie Nelson's memoir?
00:00:03
Speaker 2: Uh, no.
00:00:04
Speaker 1: That comes out next week? The 10th, I believe?
00:00:07
Speaker 3: Tuesday, right?
00:00:08
Speaker 1: Uh, yes. It's called The Leaf. But apparently.
00:00:14
Speaker 4: Is this the first memoir he's done?
00:00:16
Speaker 1: No, I think it's his latest memoir.
00:00:19
Speaker 4: He keeps remembering more stuff?
00:00:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I know it's not. Good point.
00:00:25
Speaker 5: I don't think it's his first. There's no way this is Willie Nelson's first memoir. Is it called The Last Leaf? The Last Leaf. Maybe the other ones was like The First Leaf, The Leaf.
00:00:35
Speaker 4: The Middle Leaf.
00:00:36
Speaker 1: Now The Last Leaf. But no, there's no way this is his first book.
00:00:41
Speaker 3: He has co-authored several autobiographical books.
00:00:44
Speaker 1: Oh, has he really?
00:00:46
Speaker 5: Is this one different in that they kind of get into his wife.
00:00:53
Speaker 1: Annie D'Angelo?
00:00:54
Speaker 3: I know nothing about his life.
00:00:56
Speaker 1: Do you know anything about Annie D'Angelo?
00:00:58
Speaker 3: No.
00:00:58
Speaker 1: And you know what? It's been kept that way.
00:01:02
Speaker 6: Oh, so is she kind of like how Dolly Parton's husband was always in the wings? You never really saw him?
00:01:08
Speaker 5: I'm going to say yes and I'm going to say no. And the reason I'm going to say yes is Annie D'Angelo was definitely not in the spotlight. But Annie D'Angelo was right next to him all the time.
00:01:23
Speaker 7: Oh.
00:01:23
Speaker 1: All the time.
00:01:24
Speaker 3: How long have they been together?
00:01:25
Speaker 1: They've been together since... Oh, my God. When did they get married?
00:01:30
Speaker 3: Hold on.
00:01:30
Speaker 1: I'm looking. Ah, damn it. That I don't have. Not right in front of me. I'd have to look. But they've been together for a long time.
00:01:40
Speaker 4: This is like 40 years, at least.
00:01:41
Speaker 1: Is it 46?
00:01:43
Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
00:01:43
Speaker 4: Is it over 40? Yeah.
00:01:45
Speaker 5: Like, they've been together a long time. But she's been with him every step. She braids his hair. No, I swear to God.
00:01:52
Speaker 4: That's cute.
00:01:53
Speaker 1: She braids his hair.
00:01:54
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:01:57
Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever heard her name before.
00:01:59
Speaker 5: No. He has one song about her.
00:02:05
Speaker 1: It's called Annie. No lyrics.
00:02:08
Speaker 3: An instrumental.
00:02:10
Speaker 1: Just an instrumental. That is her song.
00:02:15
Speaker 3: And that's by design?
00:02:17
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:02:17
Speaker 1: I mean, she was never front and center.
00:02:21
Speaker 5: She was never, but like, if you go through, like they were talking about how, like, especially now, like they look at it.
00:02:27
Speaker 1: Now and go like, how old is he? He is 90 or 93. She's early 70s. So there's
Load full transcript
a bit of an age gap there.
00:02:37
Speaker 5: Right. But, like, now, like, when you hear what she does with him now, you're like, okay.
00:02:43
Speaker 1: So she's part, I mean, listen, they are.
00:02:46
Speaker 3: What does she do with him now?
00:02:48
Speaker 1: No, no, no.
00:02:48
Speaker 5: Like, they are full-on soulmates. There is no question. But, like, he's also, he's in his 90s.
00:02:54
Speaker 3: So.
00:02:57
Speaker 5: She makes like she's there with him and make sure he's OK and kind of make sure that he's like because he he had long COVID really bad.
00:03:05
Speaker 1: So she makes sure that he's healthy.
00:03:07
Speaker 5: If they're doing a meet and greet, she makes sure that guests have a mask on. She doesn't say whether she wipes him or not. I don't think she does. But she makes sure that he's ready to go on stage. They actually said, because of how sick he was with COVID, one of the best things for him is singing.
00:03:26
Speaker 1: Oh, it's good for his lungs? For his voice.
00:03:29
Speaker 3: Like an exercise?
00:03:30
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:03:30
Speaker 5: So singing is great for him. And she's like, you wouldn't... He has never done that. She's like, you would never think... Willie Nelson singing would be like healthy for him, but it is.
00:03:46
Speaker 1: It's very healthy for him.
00:03:48
Speaker 3: So I don't remember how bad was his bout with COVID.
00:03:51
Speaker 1: Oh, it was really bad.
00:03:52
Speaker 4: He said he almost died, didn't he?
00:03:53
Speaker 1: Really bad, yes.
00:03:54
Speaker 5: Oh, wow. And is still struggling with long COVID. That's why she makes people put masks on around him. She works as his bouncer, his trusted confidant, and the one who braids his hair.
00:04:08
Speaker 8: Thanks.
00:04:10
Speaker 3: Thanks, Danny.
00:04:11
Speaker 4: This is cute.
00:04:12
Speaker 6: They met when he was cast as Doc Holliday in a movie back in the 80s.
00:04:19
Speaker 1: Called Stagecoach.
00:04:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, and she did the makeup on the movie. That's how they met.
00:04:23
Speaker 5: You want to take that one step further? Do you have an excerpt from the book?
00:04:27
Speaker 3: No, no.
00:04:28
Speaker 4: I was just looking at a story about it.
00:04:30
Speaker 5: Members of the production team wanted Willie Nelson to cut his hair off for that movie.
00:04:36
Speaker 1: By the way, that's 1986. So this goes back a ways.
00:04:41
Speaker 5: They wanted Willie Nelson to cut his hair off and she was a makeup artist. So she was working there. He ends up in the chair. They wanted him to cut his hair. She intervened saying, that'll be a huge mistake. Do not do that.
00:04:58
Speaker 1: And that's how the two of them hit it off.
00:05:00
Speaker 4: That's cute.
00:05:01
Speaker 3: So the makeup artist was the one who like Essentially put her hand up to the directors.
00:05:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you can't do that. You can't do that. That's a mistake.
00:05:12
Speaker 3: Yikes. Yeah. She get fired from that set?
00:05:15
Speaker 1: She got married to Willie.
00:05:18
Speaker 3: But kept the job.
00:05:20
Speaker 5: They've been together over 40 years. She said sometimes, like this is kind of sad. Sometimes she'll wake up in the middle of the night and Willie's playing her arm.
00:05:34
Speaker 4: Oh, like a guitar?
00:05:35
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:05:36
Speaker 4: Isn't that cute?
00:05:37
Speaker 1: Say again?
00:05:37
Speaker 3: Why is that sad?
00:05:38
Speaker 4: It's like he's dreaming it, right?
00:05:40
Speaker 3: Oh, he thinks it is a guitar?
00:05:43
Speaker 1: She says it's better than his night terrors. Oh, God.
00:05:46
Speaker 4: I don't want to know this.
00:05:48
Speaker 1: Wait, what, that Willie Nelson has night terrors?
00:05:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's sad.
00:05:51
Speaker 3: My legs are just kicking.
00:05:55
Speaker 1: He's in his mid-90s.
00:05:56
Speaker 3: This is too revealing.
00:05:58
Speaker 5: Willie. Wait, so in the first leaf, he didn't talk about having night terrors?
00:06:05
Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Having stayed with one person once who had night terrors, I don't want that person to be Willie Nelson.
00:06:12
Speaker 5: Some nights deep in dream, Willie Nelson strums his 1969 Martin N20 guitar trigger. When he wakes up, though, he finds out he's not performing Whiskey River, On the Road Again, or any of his other country hits. He's laying in bed playing his wife's arm.
00:06:29
Speaker 1: That's sad. No, that to me is fine. That to me is senility.
00:06:37
Speaker 6: No.
00:06:40
Speaker 3: Can you picture Willie Nelson having night terrors?
00:06:42
Speaker 7: No.
00:06:43
Speaker 1: I also can't picture Willie Nelson laying in bed sleeping.
00:06:46
Speaker 4: I can. He's got braids that lay down on the pillow.
00:06:50
Speaker 3: You don't get into this because just this week, I.
00:06:54
Speaker 1: But is he wearing underwear?
00:06:55
Speaker 3: I got all into my head about the idea of sleeping just as a daily ritual. And it messed me up.
00:07:03
Speaker 1: Why?
00:07:03
Speaker 4: What do you mean?
00:07:04
Speaker 3: What a strange thing. What a shared experience. At night, we just all go to bed.
00:07:10
Speaker 5: Right.
00:07:10
Speaker 3: That's odd. When you really start, if you're laying in bed and you're trying to fall asleep and you start just.
00:07:17
Speaker 5: Going, running those laps. Do you know how many people, millions of people in the world are doing this right now?
00:07:22
Speaker 1: That's great.
00:07:22
Speaker 3: But all of, it's just, we may as well be vampires and hang upside down. It's all silly. It's bizarre.
00:07:32
Speaker 1: What about being awake?
00:07:33
Speaker 5: No.
00:07:34
Speaker 3: Totally normal. Makes sense to me.
00:07:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, that doesn't bother me.
00:07:41
Speaker 3: I never really thought about it until just this week. And I was up for a good half hour before I fell asleep.
00:07:48
Speaker 6: I think it's the time change. It's not the
time change. Time change screwed me up this week.
00:07:52
Speaker 1: It didn't screw me up.
00:07:53
Speaker 3: But I didn't have a nightmare.
00:07:54
Speaker 1: I still have nightmares.
00:07:55
Speaker 3: And that's the thing. He's screaming in that voice. Hey.
00:07:59
Speaker 9: Hey.
00:08:03
Speaker 4: I just think of it.
00:08:04
Speaker 5: I also imagine, like, I bet Willie's got ugly feet.
00:08:08
Speaker 3: What?
00:08:08
Speaker 4: You don't know.
00:08:09
Speaker 1: No, I bet he does.
00:08:10
Speaker 3: He gets pedicures.
00:08:11
Speaker 1: Oh, no way.
00:08:13
Speaker 4: Put some respect where it's due. He's 93.
00:08:15
Speaker 1: Listen, Willie Nelson's fantastic.
00:08:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, he definitely gets pedicures.
00:08:19
Speaker 1: I bet he doesn't.
00:08:20
Speaker 4: She makes sure he is well taken care of.
00:08:22
Speaker 1: Two words, hammer toes. I bet he's got ugly feet.
00:08:25
Speaker 3: He's on wicky feet.
00:08:27
Speaker 1: Yes, he is. Okay, but from how long ago?
00:08:34
Speaker 3: So he is no longer practicing martial arts. Because he's barefoot in all these pictures.
00:08:39
Speaker 5: I'll guarantee you he is no longer doing martial arts.
00:08:42
Speaker 4: Annie, have you seen my gi? Oh, God.
00:08:46
Speaker 3: Well, I take back what I said.
00:08:47
Speaker 1: His feet are nasty, aren't they?
00:08:49
Speaker 3: They're disgusting.
00:08:50
Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
00:08:52
Speaker 3: Let me pull it up on the big screen. Oh, these are Willie. Or Annie. I blame Annie.
00:08:58
Speaker 1: No, I mean, he's... Here, pop me up.
00:09:00
Speaker 3: I'm zooming in. Look at his toenails.
00:09:05
Speaker 1: You're right. You're right. Don't say that. Put some respect on his name.
00:09:09
Speaker 3: And Elliot tried to quickly suggest that these photos don't count because they're old. This is when he wasn't senile. He's older.
00:09:18
Speaker 4: He was only, what, 80 in this one?
00:09:20
Speaker 1: His big toenail looks like it's seven inches thick. Not long.
00:09:24
Speaker 4: It's long, but it looks thick. The look of fear on the sensei's face when he sees his feet.
00:09:30
Speaker 3: Because one kick that's mistimed, he's going to draw blood.
00:09:33
Speaker 4: The next picture is his face.
00:09:36
Speaker 5: He kicks you just right. You're Clint Malarchuk bleeding out in a crease.
00:09:40
Speaker 3: What is going on with the left big toe? What do you mean? What is that?
00:09:45
Speaker 4: That's a lot of white on there. It's like it's a diagonal line.
00:09:50
Speaker 5: I can tell you exactly what it is. I can tell you exactly what it is from looking at it. What does Willie Nelson wear.
00:09:55
Speaker 1: On his feet?
00:09:56
Speaker 3: Boots.
00:09:57
Speaker 5: Right.
00:09:57
Speaker 1: And so they point up.
00:09:59
Speaker 4: I see what you're saying.
00:10:00
Speaker 5: The outside of his toe, it don't grow. It all grows on the inside. And that's why he's got whatever. I don't even know
what you call that. But that's why he's got like a rooftop toe.
00:10:11
Speaker 6: Don't you think he's like progressed to like Crocs by now or some other sort of like orthopedic shoe?
00:10:17
Speaker 4: Or is he still wearing like hard?
00:10:20
Speaker 5: Cowboy boots annie puts me in hard cowboy boots every day yes uh by the way she was instrumental in his thc business oh.
00:10:31
Speaker 3: So she's doing professional stuff with him other than just performing.
00:10:34
Speaker 5: Oh yeah oh she was also she was also the one they credit her with being the one who got willie nelson started doing um um festivals oh yeah yeah wait she says where is it um Braids his hair. She's the one who hatched the idea to host festivals at their ranch in Spicewood, Texas.
00:10:56
Speaker 1: They also have a place in Hawaii.
00:10:59
Speaker 3: I would expect him to have places all over.
00:11:01
Speaker 5: I don't expect him to be... I don't imagine... I'm watching... I'm on the beach in Oahu, and I'm like, oh, damn.
00:11:09
Speaker 1: Is that Willie?
00:11:10
Speaker 3: You think air travel would be a concern at his age?
00:11:13
Speaker 1: No, no, not at all. I just don't put him in Hawaii.
00:11:18
Speaker 3: Is Lucas... is that her son, Lucas Nelson?
00:11:21
Speaker 1: Yes.
00:11:22
Speaker 3: Oh, yes. So do they have a couple of kids?
00:11:24
Speaker 1: Um, Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
00:11:27
Speaker 5: No, she said that she had three when they got to, before she, before she got with Willie growing up.
00:11:33
Speaker 1: Cause she was like, I never imagined I'd married Willie Nelson.
00:11:37
Speaker 4: I think everybody could say that. She had three.
00:11:40
Speaker 3: Some people do imagine their wedding day when they're younger.
00:11:42
Speaker 4: And think of me standing next to Willie.
00:11:45
Speaker 5: Yeah. She said she had three personal rules as she was growing up.
00:11:50
Speaker 1: Don't date a divorced man.
00:11:53
Speaker 3: Oh, he's had a couple of lives, right?
00:11:55
Speaker 5: Don't date a man with children. Don't date a celebrity. Willie is all of those things. Plus, according to him, a man for whom fidelity was a challenge.
00:12:10
Speaker 4: That's a nice way to say it.
00:12:12
Speaker 1: When they got married in 1991, it was her first marriage.
00:12:15
Speaker 5: His.
00:12:17
Speaker 1: Fourth.
00:12:18
Speaker 3: There you go.
00:12:19
Speaker 1: Why was she willing to break her rules? Willie felt like something.
00:12:26
Speaker 4: You mean she's just got a feeling about him?
00:12:28
Speaker 5: No, he felt like something very specific. And I know you're going to say thick, hard toenails. That's not what he felt like.
00:12:35
Speaker 3: Is this going to be like warm apple pie?
00:12:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, he felt like home.
00:12:38
Speaker 3: Oh, there you go.
00:12:38
Speaker 1: He felt like home.
00:12:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, but look at them. They've made it 40 plus years together.
00:12:43
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
00:12:44
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
00:12:47
Speaker 5: She reveals that she once planned on taking her sons and leaving Willie Nelson. While she was out grocery shopping, though, something happened and she realized, I couldn't get away from him.
00:13:01
Speaker 1: And then she realized, I didn't want to.
00:13:05
Speaker 3: Wait, so why in their marriage did she want to split?
00:13:10
Speaker 1: Didn't say. Didn't say if it was infidelity, if it was Willie.
00:13:15
Speaker 3: Didn't have to get the book.
00:13:17
Speaker 1: I don't think it was too much weed, Kristen. She's in on that business.
00:13:21
Speaker 6: And she was probably the one who said, no, no, no, you can't smoke anymore. You have to just do edibles, right? He said that he quit smoking.
00:13:29
Speaker 5: A while ago. I think they said when he was eight or nine, he had COPD. He smoked three packs of cigarettes a day.
00:13:39
Speaker 1: At nine? I'm exaggerating.
00:13:42
Speaker 3: Was that true? Three packs a day.
00:13:45
Speaker 4: He was worse than Mellencamp?
00:13:47
Speaker 1: He smoked three packs a day.
00:13:48
Speaker 3: Wow.
00:13:49
Speaker 1: Three packs a day. I don't know how he didn't wake up every day with a headache.
00:13:54
Speaker 3: Annie was standing by her husband's side in 2016 when he was diagnosed with COPD. So he was.
00:14:00
Speaker 4: He was not nine.
00:14:01
Speaker 1: He was ten.
00:14:01
Speaker 3: No, he was 89.
00:14:04
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, no, but he would smoke three packs a day. Wow.
00:14:09
Speaker 5: When she was at the grocery store getting ready to haul ass.
00:14:13
Speaker 6: What, did she see him on like a magazine or something?
00:14:15
Speaker 1: One of his songs came on.
00:14:17
Speaker 5: Oh.
00:14:19
Speaker 1: She's like, I can't leave this.
00:14:20
Speaker 3: Hmm. Why does she talk like him?
00:14:25
Speaker 5: A couple start to mimic each other. I imagine everybody around Willie talks like Willie. No, no, but she was like, that's not.
00:14:36
Speaker 1: He's home.
00:14:37
Speaker 5: Home ain't perfect, but home is home. And Lucas, yeah, there's their family. I think he's got four kids from another family. There's a lot of Nelson kids.
00:14:49
Speaker 3: But they just have the two together?
00:14:51
Speaker 1: They, yes.
00:14:52
Speaker 3: It looks like they have Micah and then Lucas, who obviously is a big performer.
00:14:55
Speaker 5: Right. And Lucas, when she, when they get ready to go on stage, because Lucas will play with Willie, right? So when, when they're getting ready to go on stage together, she's like, those are the last two people I see before I turn and walk away. And then, you know, she makes sure like, Depending on where they are, like they interviewed Willie or they interviewed her and they were on an off day going from Connecticut to Philly. And she was like, you got to be careful because, A, he's 100. Right. He's also got like COVID. There's everything wrong with the man. And she's like, I have to make
sure he has on his big puffer jacket. Aw.
00:15:36
Speaker 1: But also his bandana.
00:15:38
Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
00:15:40
Speaker 5: But the bandana's not because he's cold. The bandana's because he's the red-headed stepchild.
00:15:45
Speaker 4: Stranger.
00:15:45
Speaker 1: Stranger. There he is.
00:15:48
Speaker 3: By the way... That's clearly photoshopped. He's wearing a pig-beanish shirt. Come on, Elliot.
00:15:57
Speaker 6: And that is an age-progressed Bret Michaels.
00:16:00
Speaker 1: I love pig-beanish.
00:16:01
Speaker 8: Uh.
00:16:06
Speaker 3: Where is he at now? I know he's still struggling with long COVID, but... Well, he's still not smoking three packs a day. No, I know his habits have maybe died down. Right. But is he dealing with other non-lung related issues?
00:16:23
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't make it sound like it. I mean, he's 93.
00:16:25
Speaker 3: How's his ticker?
00:16:26
Speaker 1: Say again?
00:16:27
Speaker 3: How's his heart?
00:16:28
Speaker 1: Shocked. They've never seen a better heart in their life.
00:16:30
Speaker 5: Okay. no like he doesn't walk like he used to no I mean he doesn't talk like he.
00:16:37
Speaker 6: Used to it's inevitable that he has slowed down for the band's 93 he's 95 years old 93 93 you're gonna quibble over.
00:16:44
Speaker 4: Two years at that age.
00:16:45
Speaker 3: Yes probably yeah how is he in terms of his cognition.
00:16:51
Speaker 5: He doesn't forget words to songs I don't know what he's like on the bus.
00:16:56
Speaker 4: Does he does he sing with a prompter.
00:16:59
Speaker 1: No okay no he sings with a band I don't think he does.
00:17:02
Speaker 4: No, but you know what?
00:17:03
Speaker 6: I know he sings with a band, but is there a prompter in front of him in case he forgets lyrics?
00:17:09
Speaker 1: At 93, they.
00:17:12
Speaker 5: Would have to bring out a billboard for him to be able to see it.
00:17:17
Speaker 1: He can't read a prompter.
00:17:18
Speaker 4: I got laces.
00:17:19
Speaker 1: Slow it down. On the.
00:17:24
Speaker 8: Maybe.
00:17:24
Speaker 4: Road....
00:17:30
Speaker 1: Too many letters. Blow it up.
00:17:32
Speaker 3: Again.
00:17:33
Speaker 1: Blow it up.
00:17:34
Speaker 5: That's like that caller who served in Iraq. No, there is no way he's got teleprompters. He'd never be able to see them.
00:17:42
Speaker 3: And does he ever have to use, did you say, does he have to use like a cane or a rollator or a chair?
00:17:48
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. I don't think so.
00:17:50
Speaker 5: I mean, she's not outing him for that. She does have to make sure. He's 95. She's got to make sure that he doesn't move like he used to. but he's still good.
00:18:02
Speaker 3: From Lala music girl. Although I never cared for his music. It seems like a wonderful story of an angel finding and somehow deciding to stick with a misfit. It's a one in a million relationship.
00:18:15
Speaker 5: Yeah. It's out next week. And again, people like you knew he was married.
00:18:23
Speaker 1: Four times.
00:18:23
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know if I did. Yes, I knew he had wives. I didn't know if he still had a wife.
00:18:30
Speaker 1: Oh, why did I feel like I knew he was currently married?
00:18:33
Speaker 3: Because your favorite Willie Nelson song is Annie.
00:18:35
Speaker 1: Annie, love it, love it.
00:18:36
Speaker 3: You prefer when Willie doesn't sing.
00:18:42
Speaker 1: But I bet it's an awesome love story. And she, I mean, she is a badass. Yeah.
00:18:49
Speaker 5: They're like, she is, not in a mean way, but they're like, she is their protector.
00:18:54
Speaker 4: Yeah.
00:18:55
Speaker 5: Both for the family and for the band and the business.
00:18:59
Speaker 1: They refer to her as a locomotive.
00:19:02
Speaker 4: I love that.
00:19:03
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:19:03
Speaker 1: Oh, I do too. And do you see, like, there's, look at what.
00:19:07
Speaker 3: Do I see the sentence about chasing 94?
00:19:10
Speaker 1: Yes. No, go ahead.
00:19:11
Speaker 3: Are you going to read this?
00:19:12
Speaker 1: No, go ahead.
00:19:14
Speaker 3: These days, Nelson likes to say he's chasing 94 and dragging 93, while Annie makes sure that he's never far from an oxygen cannula. How did you not read that part yet?
00:19:29
Speaker 1: Can you just put it under my nose?
00:19:32
Speaker 7: On the cannula again. That's pretty good, actually. All right, so he needs oxygen. Big deal.
00:19:44
Speaker 1: He's got COPD. He's had it since he was eight.
00:19:47
Speaker 3: That's what I heard on the radio. Kristen, you've seen him recently live?
00:19:54
Speaker 1: When? Wow.
00:19:58
Speaker 6: 2021?
00:19:58
Speaker 1: Did you really? Have you ever seen him live?
00:20:02
Speaker 3: Yes.
00:20:04
Speaker 4: I saw him at Wolf Trap. I mean, in the 90s.
00:20:08
Speaker 5: I saw him do Farm Aid in Austin. I can't remember when. But I saw him play Farm Aid. I think I've seen him a couple of times. He definitely played the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
00:20:18
Speaker 6: It was a fun crowd, too, because you had all of your wolf trap people with their picnic baskets.
00:20:23
Speaker 3: Right.
00:20:23
Speaker 6: And then you had the other Willie fans coming in.
00:20:27
Speaker 3: Now, I mentioned.
00:20:28
Speaker 1: Hey, man, we're enjoying McLean! I'm sorry, say again?
00:20:34
Speaker 3: That I know Lucas from his solo work. But you said Micah was on stage with Willie when you saw him?
00:20:39
Speaker 1: Oh, was he playing? Oh, no kidding.
00:20:42
Speaker 3: And, yeah. So Kristen is suggesting that he maybe should have a teleprompter.
00:20:48
Speaker 1: Oh, did he forget some of the words?
00:20:49
Speaker 4: You sing.
00:20:50
Speaker 3: That can happen to anybody. Kristen, what was he saying? He was forgetting words?
00:20:57
Speaker 1: Turn yourself on. Turn yourself on. Well, why would he need a teleprompter if he couldn't remember the words?
00:21:06
Speaker 5: Yes.
00:21:07
Speaker 1: Was it a good show?
00:21:08
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was a festival. I can't, it was at Merriweather. Like Nathaniel Rateliff was there.
00:21:12
Speaker 1: Rateliff plays with him all the time.
00:21:15
Speaker 5: Like they, Rateliff, the article that I was reading, Rateliff gets mentioned in there and is like, that is like, that's family.
00:21:21
Speaker 1: Was it the Outlaw Music Festival?
00:21:23
Speaker 3: Yes.
00:21:23
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was so cool.
00:21:25
Speaker 5: Right.
00:21:26
Speaker 8: But he was wheelchaired out.
00:21:28
Speaker 1: Oh God.
00:21:29
Speaker 4: What, Diane?
00:21:30
Speaker 6: Did, meaning he performed the set in a wheelchair or they wheeled him out and then he stood up?
00:21:36
Speaker 8: He didn't stand.
00:21:37
Speaker 4: He sat.
00:21:38
Speaker 8: But he got out of the wheelchair and sat on a stool.
00:21:41
Speaker 3: Oh.
00:21:42
Speaker 8: And then Micah was next to him.
00:21:44
Speaker 5: Who was the one, not Willie, but who was the one that they used to wheelchair to the edge of the stage and then essentially like take the back pegs on the wheelchair and push it?
00:21:55
Speaker 1: And he would just like get up and walk out there.
00:21:57
Speaker 3: Wasn't that Teddy Pendergrass?
00:21:58
Speaker 5: But you never saw, no. But you never, but you never saw him in the wheelchair.
00:22:05
Speaker 3: Oh.
00:22:05
Speaker 1: Like they kept the wheelchair hidden.
00:22:07
Speaker 6: Gene?
00:22:08
Speaker 5: And then, and then, but on stage you would have no idea that he was wheelchair bound.
00:22:13
Speaker 3: What genre?
00:22:15
Speaker 5: Old.
00:22:19
Speaker 3: So was the Willie set, Was.
00:22:22
Speaker 1: It like watching Mike Love?
00:22:23
Speaker 4: No, that's awful.
00:22:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Well, yeah, but that's what I'm thinking. Oh, I'm sorry to give you that vision. Did you not hear?
00:22:31
Speaker 5: They wheel him out, but so it doesn't look bad, they put him on a stool.
00:22:35
Speaker 1: And they have his son sit there.
00:22:36
Speaker 8: They sat together.
00:22:37
Speaker 7: Right.
00:22:38
Speaker 9: But they sang together and you could hear more of Micah singing along to the lyrics. And now knowing that he had a long time COVID.
00:22:50
Speaker 1: Right, long COVID.
00:22:51
Speaker 8: He needed to just like catch more air. Maybe it's not so much.
00:22:55
Speaker 1: Well, you know, he's never far from a cannula.
00:22:57
Speaker 8: But maybe it's not so much he was forgetting the lyrics.
00:22:59
Speaker 1: He just needed air to get through them.
00:23:03
Speaker 3: On the road again.
00:23:05
Speaker 8: It was sad, but it was cool to see him because he's such a legend.
00:23:08
Speaker 1: Of course. That's Willie.
00:23:10
Speaker 3: Is that who you went for?
00:23:11
Speaker 5: No.
00:23:12
Speaker 1: I just wanted to know.
00:23:14
Speaker 4: I like Nathaniel.
00:23:17
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Radcliffe's awesome.
00:23:20
Speaker 3: I looked at the set list from that night. It was a good
show.
00:23:23
Speaker 5: Does he have to do On the Road again?
00:23:27
Speaker 4: He did.
00:23:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.
00:23:28
Speaker 4: That and Always on My Mind.

Speaker 4: Damn.
00:27:30
Speaker 1: Hey, did they wheel him out?
