bit of those roots. Man, we spend so much time
19
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.920
in Nashville. I don't forget about our Texas artists. It's
20
00:00:57.960 --> 00:00:59.799
just man, we'd like to come back to it and
21
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:01.560
to make me forget that too as well, because he's
22
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.719

I'm doing great, Ran. How are you doing today?
26
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.200
You know it's good, you know, do the kids homework,
27
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:16.959
get home, kind of kind of get ready for the
28
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:20.799
holidays and a little bit of nice two week vacation
29
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:21.359
coming up.
30
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:22.200
I'm looking forward to that.
31
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:24.920
Oh man, me too. We've got a trip planned right
32
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.040
now to go to Colorado and visit it in the snow.
33
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.000
Snowing out there too, So a little bit of that cooler.
34
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.599
You know what's funny, the warmped in Texas. It's gonna
35
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:35.359
be like in the seventies over the next six seven
36
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.560
days or something. So this last little cool front's moving
37
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.200
through this week, at least, I can say for Beaumont, Houston.
38
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.560
But then you look back and you're like, man, not
39
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.680
gonna be a white Christmas this year for Texas.
40
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:47.359
No, No, we had one few years back, but this
41
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.280
year looks like it's gonna be nice and warm like
42
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.159
normal down here in Texas. So that's why we're getting
43
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:54.159
away to the snow.
44
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:55.680
Getting away to the snow. I don't blame me too
45
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.640
ill like a white Christmas. And of course last or
46
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.000
I just keep saying next year, this year, whatever, twenty two,
47
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.040
twenty five. It did snow back here in January pretty
48
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.159
much state wide, So people got to experience that nice
49
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.759
white fluff stuff back in January down here in Texas.
50
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.280
So just came a month too late after Christmas. Well,
51
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:13.960
let's get to know you a little bit for the
52
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.560
fans out there too that don't know Ron Barrett the artist,
53
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:19.240
talk about just your upbringing and the connection to music.
54
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.400
You know, early on in kind of what you know,
55
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.199
kind of pulled you into this thing called music.
56
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:26.360
Man, I think I came out of them, out of
57
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:27.520
the womb singing.
58
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:28.199
You know.
59
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.439
My mom told me from Simon that she could remember
60
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:33.719
that I could talk, that I was singing. I was
61
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.400
memorizing songs on the radio and singing them to my
62
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.400
classmates in kindergarten. She came in one time to pick
63
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.840
me up from kindergarten class and I was sitting there
64
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.719
on a milk crate singing all my classmates out there.
65
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.280
So from as far back as I can remember, I've
66
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.560
been singing music, love music. I always had a passion
67
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.520
for it, and I kind of fell into writing music
68
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.159
as I grew up a little bit in my teenage years,
69
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.159
kind of got my first heartbreak and wrote my first
70
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.919
heartbreak song, and you know, it kind of just went
71
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.520
from there. Just started write music and putting my putting
72
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.879
my journal on onto uh to paper and adding music
73
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:12.280
to it. That's kind of what what I do.
74
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:15.080
Yeah, we'll get into this album here in a little
75
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:16.560
bit and play a couple of cuts off of it too,
76
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.800
But talk about just the influences growing up is was
77
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.719
it a little bit of nineties country more than y
78
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:22.680
two K country?
79
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.759
Bro country? What movement kind of got you into it? Too?
80
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.159
Oh? Man? My, So, my dad was a big time
81
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.039
oldie goldie guy, and he also liked like old country music.
82
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.840
My mom, she was big rock and roll and R
83
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.560
and B and rap style music. And then, of course
84
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.159
I listened to all of that on both sides of
85
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.240
my of my mom and dad on both sides of
86
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.719
that realm, and then I just kind of started doing
87
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.599
my own thing and listening to the nineties country, and so
88
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.719
my influence has ranged everywhere from from BB King uh,
89
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.599
to Stevie ray Vaughn, all the way up to Kenny
90
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.800
Wayne Shephard to some of the old Conway Twitty and
91
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.639
George Jones and then even Alan Jackson Ord straight. So
92
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.199
I've got a very broad range of music influences that
93
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.400
I just And not only that, but I kind of
94
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.159
always said if I didn't have a country voice, I'd
95
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.080
probably have been a rock and roll singer, because I
96
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.599
always loved rock and roll, the eighties hair bands and
97
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.439
you know, the A. C. D C's and metallicas man.
98
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.319
I loved all that stuff too. So I just kind
99
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.959
of have a huge range of loves and likes, and
100
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.839
whenever I do my music, I guess I just kind
101
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.160
of put it all in there. Yeah.
102
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:28.920
I got a chance to interview a couple of times
103
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.079
this year at Kenny Wayne Shephard on the show here too,
104
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.800
and actually do some some promotions out there. He was
105
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:35.720
actually touring with Bobby Rush. Did you kind of see
106
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.680
that one of the oldest blues singers and one of
107
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.120
the nineties generations come through.
108
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:39.959
Pretty cool, wasn't it.
109
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:40.519
Yeah?
110
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:42.920
That was awesome. That was so cool. That's see, that's
111
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:44.560
my kind of thing right there. I love blending. I
112
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.800
love that mixture. I love seeing BB King get up
113
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.480
on stage and jam, you know, or or what would't
114
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.480
BB King? Who's jamming with Stevie ray Ah. Man, I
115
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.199
can't remember now, but I saw that that jam session
116
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.319
that they had, and I was just like, I love this.
117
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:03.519
Yeah, I love the crossover. That's a beautiful thing about
118
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.560
it too, man, because collaboration is such a huge, huge,
119
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:08.439
important part of the business now too when you look
120
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.199
at all these crossovers. We were at c Mayfest this
121
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.079
past summer too, and around the corner you see like
122
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.600
the legend Acon, you know, walks by and he's got
123
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.279
Gary LeVaux like right on his you know, shoulder there too,
124
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.480
and they just put together a song called Hold the Umbrella,
125
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:22.240
which brought in a little bit of reggae, a little
126
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.439
bit of that you know, kind of Rascal flat sound,
127
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:26.439
and Acon putting his stamp on it too. So talk
128
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.279
about collaboration and build on this too, and maybe some
129
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.839
collabs you would like to do, not just Texas country,
130
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:33.279
but maybe some Nashville artists too.
131
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.040
Oh man, If I if I had a perfect collaboration,
132
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:41.720
I would love to do something with mister Jason al
133
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:47.560
Dean Luke holmbs. I even love you know, some of
134
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.000
the like Brian Adams stuff and anybody like that.
135
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:55.639
Good Choices, no doubt about it too. And I love
136
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:56.079
this album.
137
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:56.199
Man.
138
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.120
You got a little something for everybody on this It
139
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.399
came out February of of this year too, and it's
140
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.959
Whiskey Memories is the title of it too. We're gonna
141
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:05.839
play a couple of tracks here in just a second
142
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:08.600
off there talk about just the questions of songs, the
143
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.000
songwriting through it, and a little bit of just the
144
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:13.319
overall body of work on this record.
145
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:14.800
I know you guys were excited about it.
146
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.079
We worked pretty hard on it. There was a lot
147
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.920
that went into this album. It took me about eight
148
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:25.240
months to put it all together. I actually have about
149
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.879
one hundred and something songs that I've written, and we
150
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.399
had to go through all each and every one of
151
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.319
those songs and we had to try to pick fourteen
152
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.199
of those to put on the album. That was a
153
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.120
really difficult task. And of course I have my soundboard
154
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:41.879
and my beautiful wife. She looks at these songs and
155
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:43.920
she's the one that tells me, yeah, this one needs
156
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.079
to go or this one, you know, we need to
157
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.600
cut this one or maybe this one needs a little
158
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.720
bit more work. And once she looks at all these
159
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.360
songs and then we kind of put them back on
160
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.839
the drawing board. We take that and we bring it
161
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.160
to the producer, which is Grady Saxon, and Grady looks
162
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.439
at him and he's like, yeah, I like these songs.
163
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.160
So we might walk into the studio with maybe sixteen
164
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:10.079
to eighteen songs and then we picked the best out
165
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.720
of those and that's what we put on the album.
166
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:15.879
Well, that's the beautiful thing is, like I said, you're
167
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.519
gonna have great songs that don't make the cut, and
168
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:18.759
then of course the ones that you want to put
169
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:20.199
on there, and some of the songs that don't make
170
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.160
the cut for a current record always can be songs
171

Pulled in this work? What's my purpose in this life?
186
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.399
Why do I always struggle so hard?
187
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:25.279
She said, doll.
188
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:26.920

190
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:30.120
When I die.
191
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.480
I try to do more good every day.
192
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.240
I'm only human now. The Lord knows I make stays.
193
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.759
When I ask God to forgive me, I know he does.
194
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.200
Still I beat myself for all things have done, and
195
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:57.919
I'm proud of so I try.
196
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.039

00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:23.360
I'm gonna live while line life right my own destin knees.
200
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:32.720

Guess the faster time seems slipt away, turn away.
202
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:49.080

Podcast dot com. I'm a grand slam of music, sports
249
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.240
and entertainment. You know this is one. When you sent
250
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:05.399
me this one, I had to say, you know what,
251
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.320
everybody has a calling in life. I know for me
252
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.879
it was radio broadcasting, which is great out there, but
253
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:15.120
Destiny was something that I think I kind of really
254
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:18.080
resonated with a lot of fans have too, because it
255
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.360
talks about someone's life story and you really can put
256
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:21.840
yourself in a song like that, right.
257
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.200
Yes, sir, well, Destiny was is kind of my theme song.
258
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:29.639
It literally talks about everything that I have been currently
259
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:31.480
going through in my life. Is kind of like why
260
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.840
was I put here? What did God have as far
261
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:36.639
as a meaning in my life? What is my purpose
262
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.200
for being on this planet? And I think we all
263
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.960
as people, as humans, we can all resonate with that,
264
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:45.039
like why are we here? What is our purpose? What
265
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.120
did God put us here for? And you know, at
266
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.200
the end of the day, it's up to you to
267
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.159
create your own destiny. It's up to you to make
268
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.200
the decisions in your life that's gonna take you, that's
269
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.679
either gonna make you or break you. I've talked to
270
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:02.279
people that are very very successful millionaires, you know, very
271
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.080
successful in life, and I asked them, you know, what
272
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:07.200
was the key, what what was your idea? And what
273
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.480
what brought you to this position? And what what made
274
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:11.840
you successful? And The biggest thing that they told me
275
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.879
was hard work and dedication. And so you know, literally,
276
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.080
that's what our destiny is. Is if we put in
277
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.279
hard work and dedication, we can create our own destiny
278
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:22.639
no matter what. And there's nothing that can stand in
279
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:24.840
your way. You just got to have the mindset, Hey,
280
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.679
I'm gonna put all these naysayers and all the doubts
281
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:29.200
aside and I'm going to just do this thing. I'm
282
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.519
gonna go for it. If you do that, you'll create
283
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:33.559
your own destiny. And that's what I want to portray
284
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.440
in the song is just you know, you're not stuck
285
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.000
in one spot just because you know the norm is
286
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:40.919
that this is what your life is supposed to be.
287
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:42.720
Get out of the box. Go out and do something
288
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.200
that you really want to do and that you dream
289
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.720
and you can achieve it. I've always dreamed my whole
290
00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:51.080
life of being a you know, a musician, songwriter, you know,
291
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:53.919
And here i am. I'm out here, I'm writing songs,
292
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:56.080
I'm producing music. I'm putting it out on the radio.
293
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:58.360
You know, people are loving it, resonating with it. I'm
294
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.200
standing on stages, I'm singing out to my and I
295
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:03.320
could have never done that if I hadn't stepped forth
296
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:05.440
and said, Hey, I'm going to make my own destiny
297
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:06.840
and I'm going to do this thing no matter what.
298
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:09.639
Yeah, it's one of those things I had to kind
299
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:10.840
of buy into at the same time. You know.
300
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.480
I started this thing, like I said a few years back,
301
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:13.759
and I'm like, Oh, it's just gonna be a hobby
302
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:15.799
type thing too, and we'll figure out how to put
303
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:17.240
it on the ear, how to make money stuff like
304
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:18.399
that too. But I was like, you know, if I'm
305
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.399
going to go all in, it really is no plan
306
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:22.039
B when it comes down to it, because it's like,
307
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:23.639
you got to go out there and create your own destiny,
308
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:25.600
and that's what the song. I really kind of dug
309
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.440
deep into that track and really understood what that was
310
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:30.240
all about too as well, because nobody's going to give
311
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:31.639
it to you. You got to go out there and
312
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:34.240
make it on your own, no doubt about it. Let's
313
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:36.960
talk about another one off there, wild like Whiskey. I
314
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:39.159
thought this was an interesting track too for me, because
315
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:42.679
any good country song has to have two w's in it.
316
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.519
But you took whiskey that's in every country song out there,
317
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:46.639
and made it your own didn't you.
318
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.360
Yes, sir, Yes, sir, I did. Oh yeah, So that
319
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:53.360
one I wrote about my beautiful wife whenever I first
320
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:58.159
met her, and she's still that way today. She's a Sagittarius,
321
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:01.480
I'm an Arie, so we're both fire signed and I've
322
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.799
just loved the fact that me and her mesh so
323
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.839
well because a lot of times, Julie get you know,
324
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.240
if you know anything about astrology or whatever, I've heard that,
325
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:13.720
you know, if your aries and fire like fire and fire,
326
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:16.440
that they just you know, they don't work. But me
327
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.599
and her, we just work. And she is. She's the
328
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.480
sweetest little thing that you've ever met. She's got the
329
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:25.200
biggest heart. She cries over the sappiest little movies. I mean,
330
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.440
she's got the huge heart for animals. But whenever we
331
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:32.480
get together and we start having fun, she is wild.
332
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.640
Like we get wild together, and it's uh. So we
333
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:39.799
were long story short. We're in Cleveland, Ohio. We went
334
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:42.720
to this little winery. We got a little buzz, you know,
335
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.000
sipping on some of that wine and doing wine tastings
336
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.039
up there, and we came home and had a pretty
337
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:49.880
wild little night, you know. And it was in the
338
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:51.799
next day the song was born. I woke up the
339
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:55.359
next morning five am, got my guitar, started jamming on it,
340
00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:57.839
and that's what I came out with. She was sweet
341
00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:00.119
like tea, but wild like whiskey.
342
00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.359
There you go, cheeing with you into one country song
343
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:06.960
right there too. Hey, speaking of ladies, I got to
344
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:08.559
give them their props now these days. And I've done
345
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:10.599
it in all of my interviews out there too, for
346
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:12.839
all the radio shows we've put out there. I mean
347
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.400
Lanny Wilson and Ella Langley who was on a hot
348
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:17.440
streak right now too. And you look at Priscilla Block
349
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:19.839
and Hannah Ellis and so many of these ladies that
350
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:23.079
are now getting their due diligence and the respect they deserve,
351
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:25.240
you know, in the business right now, to the major
352
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:27.960
award shows things like that. That's a beautiful thing I
353
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:31.000
think for country music right now, that the females are
354
00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:32.640
stepping up and getting a little bit more of that
355
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.279
recognition for the work they're doing.
356
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.599
Right absolutely, Man, I love Laney, I love Priscilla Block.
357
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:40.319
My wife said that Priscilla is her bestie and she
358
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:42.839
don't even know it. Like one of these days, I'm
359
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:45.160
gonna have to do a collaboration with Priscilla, we're gonna
360
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:47.000
have to do a song together, and when we do,
361
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:48.839
my wife is gonna be in hog heaven because she
362
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:53.119
absolutely adores everything about Priscilla. She really literally Priscilla Block
363
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.480
reminds me a lot of my wife's personality. They have
364
00:18:55.680 --> 00:19:00.680
like the same personality. They very outgoing, very same personality,
365
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:02.160
and I just love it and I love her to death.
366
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:04.000
I love the songs that she does and she writes
367
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.400
there they're down to earth, they're real. Laney is the
368
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:09.640
same way. The songs that she puts out or that's
369
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:12.000
real music. That's stuff that you can really resonate with
370
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:14.880
and grasp a hold of, even men like me. I
371
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:17.119
grasp ahold of some of the songs that that Laney
372
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:19.599
does and sings, and I resonate with those songs. And
373
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:22.480
that's that's really cool that you can not only cross
374
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.519
cross genre, but if you can, you know, if you
375
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:28.160
can relate to the men as well, and you're you're
376
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.039
a woman in this in this business. I think that's
377
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:31.680
just a beautiful asset to have.
378
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:34.960
Yeah, it's been cool to see. Like I said, I said,
379
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:37.759
Ella on Fire too. Langley is just fantastic Yellow Langley
380
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:39.799
that Choose in Texas. Song right now too is just
381
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:42.759
went number one in Texas and you look at still Hungover.
382
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:44.680
I'll listened to that ever since it came out, cover
383
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:47.279
to cover I'm talking about several times. Even made my
384
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:49.799
own playlist through that too. And it's all about, you know,
385
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:52.640
the song for country musicians out there too, because one song,
386
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:54.920
as you know as a songwriter too and a producer
387
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:56.440
and the things that you're doing, one song could just
388
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:57.920
change your career, can' it?
389
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.559
It can absolutely just one And I love that you
390
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.640
know that song when she did it with Riley, me
391
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:06.079
and my sister, do we cover that song? My little
392
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:08.359
sister she sings and plays piano for me and the
393
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:10.880
band and me and her cover that song you look
394
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:14.519
like You Love Me? I absolutely adore that song and
395
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:18.640
I feel like that that song right there, it elevated
396
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:21.960
her career, Like I mean, just immediately, all of a sudden,
397
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.319
now you know who Ell She's everywhere and then and
398
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:28.200
now she's got Choosing Texas and that song. I love
399
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.039
that song, man. That one hits home, it really does.
400
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:33.759
I actually have a song that I wrote that I
401
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:36.559
wrote for my wife about four or five years ago
402
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:39.640
that said she loves Texas more than me. It's gonna
403
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:43.440
probably be on the next album, and so yeah, I relate.
404
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:45.640
I really do resonate with that song as well. Through
405
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.119
I was like, oh my gosh, so listen to this.
406
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:49.680
She's got choosing Texas now.
407
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:51.599
It just like I said, one song changes a career,
408
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:53.319
and it's done that for many many artists out there.
409
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:55.200
And of course I had her on the show here
410
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.720
in March of twenty twenty three before everything kind of
411
00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:59.279
blew up to and of course those songs were getting
412
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:01.920
bigger and bigger. But you Look Like You Love Me
413
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:03.759
and of course of many other tunes out there too,
414
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:06.559
And uh, I just love her voice or sound and
415
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:10.079
she really personifies what the female country classic is all
416
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:12.559
about when it comes to nineties country to today's music
417
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.200
as well, and it's just very very it's got attitude
418
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.559
and SaaS and that's what these females are really bringing
419
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:18.880
to their music today.
420
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:19.079
Again.
421
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:21.759
Ron Barrett music dot Com is the website out there too,
422
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:23.839
could be coming to a city near you out there
423
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:25.680
on the tour for twenty twenty six, and of course
424
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:28.599
out there Whiskey Memories, the current album across all the
425
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:31.720
DSPs time for another track off of it what I'm missing.

Heavy Night.
429
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:59.720
It's the same old thing, trying to figure what I'm missing?
430
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:05.200
And yeah, will I dress up go out to the
431
00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:10.519
same old crayd phase laugh raised the glass.
432
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:17.480
But all I finds long things when I go home.
433
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:20.319
Because the one I stand.
434
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:23.240
I can't fill the horse.
435
00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:26.039
So won't you tell me.
436
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:34.920
What's the remedy for this condition called blong?
437
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:40.759
Since I've tried women, Yeah, and I tried music.
438
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:48.519
I tried everything I know how to do, but I
439
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:49.680
tried the whiskey.
440
00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:51.519
Well, I.
441
00:22:54.119 --> 00:23:04.480
For what I'm lifting you where Lady used to think
442
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:12.799
they would always be something better down the road.
443
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:18.720
Now I realize it may be a baby.
444
00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:27.000
I should have never let you go over and I
445
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:28.240
could feel the burn.
446
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:35.839
From the hostel, Lady of memory, run the.
447
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:44.160
Groove me not try women. Yeah, I try music, and I.
448
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:49.880
Tried everything I know to douse.
449
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:57.240
I try the whiskey, own I move. What I'm missing.
450
00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:18.759
Is dried women, and I've tried, must.

Try everything I'm going to do.

00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:25.960
I tried the whiskey away my moods.

484
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:23.559
one here because we're gonna find what we're missing here
485
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:26.640
on the show. I thought this was a really cool track,
486
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:29.079
and this one did did well for you across a
487
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:31.480
number of different channels, didn't it It did?
488
00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:34.480
Yes, this this has been my number one streamed song
489
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:38.319
right now to date on it from the album you
490
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:40.400
know this this song actually we want going to record.
491
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:43.279
This was like a secondary song. This was this is
492
00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:45.359
one of those songs that was on the back burner.
493
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.359
We were doing all the other songs, and my wife
494
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.000
she was persistent, She's like, we have got to record
495
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:53.119
this song, and me and Grady talked about it. We
496
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:54.799
were going to put it on the on the next album,
497
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:56.920
and she said, no, this song's got to be on
498
00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:58.880
this album. We got to get it done. So we
499
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:01.039
slipped this one in on the back end of a
500
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:04.359
recording session. We were over there doing the recording and
501
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:07.559
he was like, hey, we got time for one more
502
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:09.000
if you want to put what I'm missing in there,
503
00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:10.839
and I was like, yeah, let's do it. Let's cut it.
504
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:14.079
So within thirty minutes we had the entire track laid
505
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:15.720
and then I came back the next day to do
506
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:17.880
the vocals. Did the vocals within an hour. It was
507
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:20.480
kind of one of those you know, quick, just cut
508
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:23.240
it and move on kind of songs. I wasn't really
509
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.799
expecting it to blow up like it did, but man,
510
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:30.839
it has. Really people were resonating with this song. And
511
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:33.160
it's kind of crazy how the song came about, how
512
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.440
it was born because I was actually writing this song
513
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:38.759
about what I was missing in my life at the time,
514
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:40.720
which is I wanted a good woman in my life.
515
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:44.599
I needed, you know, I needed some foundation, some sort
516
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:47.480
of support, some sort of some steady in my life.
517
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:50.359
I had whiskey. I've tried women, I've tried music, I've
518
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:52.920
tried everything else, and you know, and none of that
519
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:55.559
work is what I I guess what I was saying
520
00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:57.359
is what I'm missing was you. I kind of turned
521
00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:59.839
it to make it sound like it was for an X,
522
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.279
but really the song is the birth of the song
523
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:05.440
was coming from what I'm really missing in my life,
524
00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:08.200
which is that perfect woman in my life, that woman
525
00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:09.240
that I aspire to have.
526
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:12.519
Let's talk about another one off there too. I love
527
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:15.480
the title of it, Sunshine through the Rain. This was
528
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:17.279
a really cool thing too, because you're right about that.
529
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:19.480
Every time it rains, you know, the next thing you're
530
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:22.359
gonna see through it is the sunshine on the other
531
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:24.839
side too. So you took another just too great, you know,
532
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:27.640
like I said, forecast out there weather, things that are
533
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:29.480
out there too as well, and put them together and
534
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:31.079
just made one hell of a country song out of it.
535
00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:34.079
Well, thank you, I appreciate that. Yeah, I tell you
536
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:38.519
the idea for this song. I was driving through Nashville
537
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:41.640
and we were headed over to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, from
538
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.000
Nashville Pigeon Porge, and if anybody's ever been in Tennessee
539
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.000
and Nashville area, you know, sometimes it rains and there's
540
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:50.640
sunshine and it's like poor and rain, like I mean,
541
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:52.839
it's like a thunderstorm, like in Texas, it's porn rain,
542
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:55.599
it's gray outside, it's dark. Well, this day it was
543
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:57.480
poor and rain over there and the sun was just
544
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:00.839
beautifully just shining through. It's just gorgeous day. But you
545
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:02.680
would have never known it. And I got to thinking
546
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:04.200
about it, I was like, you know what I was like,
547
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:06.599
my life was that. That's how my life was before
548
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:07.680
I met Stephanie.
549
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:08.160
Uh.
550
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:10.599
I had a really grace guys, and thunderstorms in my life.
551
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:12.640
Every day was a storm. And then all of a sudden,
552
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:14.640
here she comes. She was the sunshine and it was
553
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:16.160
still raining, and I was still dealing with some of
554
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:18.880
those storms, but now the sunshine was through, was through
555
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:21.960
the rain. And that was the symbolism that I was
556
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:23.920
writing about her and how she was in my life
557
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:25.960
when she came along. She was the sunshine through my rain.
558
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:28.480
And I just couldn't have I couldn't have explained it
559
00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:30.200
any better than that day happening.
560
00:29:31.720 --> 00:29:33.519
The beauty of where a country song comes from. You
561
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:35.160
just never know where you're gonna get the idea. Let
562
00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:36.680
me ask you about that too, Is it more kind
563
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:38.240
of that that feel for you. You have to kind of
564
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:41.920
see it to believe it, you know, personal experiences writing
565
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:43.720
through that when it comes to making the perfect song
566
00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:46.160
or writing the perfect song. Do you like getting uh
567
00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:49.000
pitched uh some tunes out there too to see if
568
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:51.480
it kind of fits your catalog? Do you like co writes?
569
00:29:51.480 --> 00:29:54.039
Tell me about your your uh, your your your your
570
00:29:54.079 --> 00:29:56.160
love for songwriting, and just your process out there.
571
00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:59.880
Man. So I get most of my ideas are very personal.
572
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:02.480
Everything that I write is usually something I've dealt with
573
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:04.079
or been through. I have to relate. I have to
574
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:06.559
be able to relate to the song that I'm writing.
575
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:10.119
I've been pitched ideas and I've ran with them, and
576
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:11.680
I've co wrote. A matter of fact, there's a couple
577
00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:13.559
of songs on the next album that I've actually co
578
00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:16.079
wrote with some people and we got pitched the idea,
579
00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:19.240
and I can take if it's if it's a pitch
580
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:21.920
that I've lived or something I've dealt with in my life,
581
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:24.559
then I can take that and run with it and
582
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:28.119
write it. But normally, most of the time, i'd say
583
00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:30.119
eighty percent of the time, eighty eighty five percent of
584
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:32.279
the time, all of the songs that I write or
585
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:35.279
that I have written, have come from that personal, in
586
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:39.720
depth spot that's inside of me. It's it's usually an
587
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:42.319
experience that I've been through, something I've lived through, something
588
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:46.319
I've dealt with or experienced, you know, on a personal basis.
589
00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:51.480
So if I've ever had to write a song that
590
00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:53.559
I couldn't personally relate to, I don't know how good
591
00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:55.599
that would turn out. You know, I just have to
592
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:56.559
be able to feel it.
593
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:56.960
I have to.
594
00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:58.119
It has to come from in here.
595
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:01.640
That's a good way to explain it too, because like
596
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:03.079
I said, I think a lot of people even these
597
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:05.839
days that are doing it, not just singers, but their songwriters.
598
00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:07.359
And you see some of the best songs out there
599
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:09.279
too that a lot of people don't want to be
600
00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:10.759
in front of the microphone when it comes down. They
601
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:12.680
can stay behind the microphone, write the perfect song and
602
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:14.440
make a good living that way too, which is great.
603
00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:16.279
But in the end, I mean, I'm want of the
604
00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:18.359
people here on the radio side of things and the
605
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:20.359
podcast side of things that wants to pay a tribute
606
00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:23.200
to the songwriters, because without the songs, you can have
607
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:24.839
as many artists as you want to line up to
608
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:27.119
record them, but you got to have the piece of material,
609
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:29.279
but to back it out there too. And you know
610
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:31.440
a lot of those songwriters that's what they love doing,
611
00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:33.079
just putting pen to paper and getting their thoughts and
612
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:34.960
feelings out there too. And a lot of people the
613
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:36.839
word I've heard here on the show Ron used a
614
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:39.000
many a number of times is it's therapy.
615
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:39.680
Is what it is.
616
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:43.200
It is It absolutely is, absolutely and I'd love to
617
00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:46.359
say that music is my therapy one percent of the time.
618
00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:48.519
If I don't care what I'm going through, if I'm
619
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:50.359
going through a bad day, if I got bills that
620
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:52.880
I can't pay, or if I got whatever's happening in
621
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.359
my life, anything's happening in my life, I can pick
622
00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:59.640
up my guitar, I can start singing, I can start
623
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:03.319
playing my music, and immediately all that stuff goes away.
624
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:06.240
It's all gone, and now it's just me and the music,
625
00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:11.640
and I'm there. I'm president in that moment. And without that,
626
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:13.200
I don't know how I'd have made it. You know,
627
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:14.839
as many years as I've made it, I just don't
628
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:15.920
know how it'd still be here.
629
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:19.440
Well, we all love a good party in country music too.
630
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:21.400
And then toward the end, of the record We Need
631
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:22.880
a Party, And I love this one too because I
632
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:24.960
got to listen to a little bit of everything on
633
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:26.400
that one too. At the same time, you guys were
634
00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:28.359
having just a lot of fun with that too, right.
635
00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:30.720
Oh yeah, absolutely, I got to tell you about this one.
636
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:33.039
So we came down from we went to Lufkin. We
637
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:34.839
were at Texas Tech up. They were watching a ball
638
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:37.119
game with Texas Tech and they were whooking some butt
639
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.359
at that ball game, okay, And then we were doing
640
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:41.680
a tailgate party, and so we left and on the
641
00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:44.279
drive home, it's like a nine hour drive back down
642
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:46.240
here to South Texas from up there, And on the
643
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:49.240
drive home, all I could kept thinking about running through
644
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:51.519
my head was, Man, we need a party, because that
645
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:54.200
was that was killer last night, Like that party, we
646
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:57.160
were having one heck of a time. Man, we left,
647
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:00.759
you know, we left awake. We left awake, okay. And
648
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:03.680
so on the way home, I just started writing. I
649
00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:06.599
was like this. Within I guess two hours, I had
650
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:09.319
that whole song written and I already had the tune
651
00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:11.359
in my head. And when I got home, I had
652
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:13.559
to grab my guitar really quick, running run into my
653
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:15.559
little recording room back there. I had to run in
654
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:17.160
my room and just start jamming on the guitar to
655
00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:19.319
try to pick out the cords to make it match
656
00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:22.680
what I had in my head. So that song, yeah,
657
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:24.599
that's how it was born. Man, it just came from
658
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:25.720
a Texas Tech ball game.
659
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:28.640
Well that's where I was going next anyway, too.
660
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:30.160
We got to talk a little sports here with you too,
661
00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:31.559
because I want to tell you what man, they say,
662
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:34.119
wreck them. And I was actually talking to getting to
663
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:35.839
the Texas artist to mine out there too, who's hit
664
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:38.440
it big recently too. They're on Warner Records, which is
665
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:40.640
his label he's on. Out there's playing a little town
666
00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:43.319
called Salsby, Texas down here you've passed through here called
667
00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:45.359
Honkey Talk Texas, which is a dance all down here.
668
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:47.799
My buddy Derek bildings Lee, he owns it too as well,
669
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:50.000
does a great job out there too. What I'm getting
670
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.359
at is Texas Tech Red Raiders. Of course I'm an
671
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:54.039
aggie in my household too. Would love to see the
672
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:56.039
two of the match up in this college football playoff.
673
00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:58.920
But I was talking to Randall King before the show.
674
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:00.359
We got a chance to visit out there before he
675
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:02.559
played his set a couple of weeks ago at the
676
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:04.720
start of December, and I tell you what I like
677
00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:08.599
what Joey McGuire's doing. I love this offense at Texas
678
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:11.559
Tech and put up defensively well coached. Give me some
679
00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:13.679
thoughts on this college football playoff that got the buy
680
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:17.119
for the first round game and moved on into the
681
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:20.000
semis there too, But you got the twelve team college
682
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:20.800
football playoff?
683
00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:22.039
Are you taking Tech all the way?
684
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:25.480
I am? I'm taking Tech, man. I'm sorry. I'm a
685
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:27.960
diehard fan, don't get me wrong. Look, I love the
686
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.360
everything Texas, everything Texas. When they asked me who my
687
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:33.159
favorite football teams are in Texas, It's really hard to say,
688
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:37.519
you know, because I'm a huge Houston Texans fan also,
689
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:41.199
but I've graduated up there in Northeast Texas, you know,
690
00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:43.159
so I was a Dallas Cowboys fan for a long time.
691
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:45.440
So I'm still torn between the two. But at the
692
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:48.920
same time, I love Texas Tech. I love Texas Tech,
693
00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:52.199
but I'm also torn with Longhorns too because they're Texas
694
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:54.480
Boys as well. So I you know, I'm not trying
695
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:57.320
to be politically correct here, but honestly, I'm all Texas.
696
00:34:57.480 --> 00:34:59.960
So if any of these teams win, dude, I'm selling
697
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:03.039
right now. I'm like raising the raptors.
698
00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:04.320
All right, you bet you going up there for a
699
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:06.440
white Christmas there Colorado too, which is one of my
700
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:09.679
favorite states to visit. Out there, I just love the
701
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:11.880
beauty of the state is amazing. And of course this
702
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:15.000
time of year December January perfect time to go out
703
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:18.039
there too. I know coming up in January two always
704
00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:21.320
the big music festival they have out there too.
705
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:22.159
The Steamboat.
706
00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:24.840
Yeah, Steamboat's coming up in January, which is always fun
707
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:25.280
up there too.
708
00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:26.639
I believe that's in Colorado. I believe it is.
709
00:35:26.679 --> 00:35:28.760
If I had to look back at it and just
710
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:30.400
a fun time up there. What do you guys have
711
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:32.599
on the list of just things to do? Are you
712
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:33.960
gonna kind of go with the flow or do you
713
00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:35.599
guys kind of plan everything out?
714
00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:37.639
I would know. My wife is a big planner. She
715
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:40.400
plans everything. So we have we have plans to do
716
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:43.159
an ice castle up there. We're gonna do some skiing
717
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:46.960
while we're there. Also, there's the train. There's like a
718
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:52.519
Christmas train that goes through there. It's called the Royal Gorge.
719
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:54.519
So we're gonna do that while we're up there. We
720
00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:56.679
got a nice little cabin up in Breckenridge that we're
721
00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:58.480
going to be hanging out in. Probably put up a
722
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:02.079
little Christmas tree, you know, place playing snow may make
723
00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:04.639
some snowmen, I don't know, throw some snowballs at the kids,
724
00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:07.679
you know, trying to knock them out.
725
00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:10.960
Knock them out there too. We need the good knockout
726
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:13.079
punch from that too as well. Be the biggest snowmen
727
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:15.400
you can up there too. Like I said, love that. Hey,
728
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:17.920
let's talk a little bit about as far as food goes.
729
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:19.559
I love talking food here on the program too. Every
730
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:21.760
time I'm in Nashville, there's another test market of a
731
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:24.199
restaurant that opens up out there too, And it's always
732
00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:26.320
fun to kind of just try new things. So you,
733
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:27.800
being a foodie, what do you like to eat when
734
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:29.519
you're out there on the road you're traveling or just
735
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:30.199
taking a vacation.
736
00:36:31.199 --> 00:36:34.119
Man, I have I have my favorite spots, Like every
737
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:36.000
place that I'm at I have a favorite spot. Like
738
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:38.039
if I go to Nashville, I'm eating it at me.
739
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:40.960
I'm gonna get the chicken fried chicken with the collar,
740
00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:44.599
greens and the gravy. That is my favorite meal in Nashville.
741
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:47.320
That's where I'm eating if I'm in Texas, it's a
742
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:50.519
tex Mex blend. But I also have my favorite place
743
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:54.039
down here in in clear Lake Shores at Okie's the Yardhouse.
744
00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:58.320
They have what they call the loaded Chicken and Gravy Fries.
745
00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:01.400
They have a French fry that's loaded with like chicken
746
00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:06.400
strips and gravy. White gravy allive us is fantastic, and
747
00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:08.280
they got bacon and cheese on it too, so it's
748
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:11.400
it's just it's wonderful, wonderful dish. And then of course
749
00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:14.400
if I'm in Cleveland, Ohio, I'm gonna be at Cooper's
750
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:17.360
Hawk every single time, and I'm going to have their
751
00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:20.519
parmesan crushed chicken and I'm going to do you know,
752
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:22.719
a little bit of port wine to go along with it.
753
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:24.880
It matches up pretty well. So yeah, I have my
754
00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:27.760
little favorite spots. So no matter where I'm at, I
755
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:30.280
do have I've picked it. I've got that little spot,
756
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:32.440
and I'm always open to suggestions, so I like to
757
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:33.239
trying new stuff.
758
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:34.800
Yeah.
759
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:36.719
I found a good pizza place in Nashville too, called
760
00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:39.119
three one two Pizza over in Midtown, which is over
761
00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:40.920
there by the Sounds Ballpark. That was kind of cool
762
00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:43.400
Chicago style. The owner was from Chicago too, so that's
763
00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:45.480
really cool. And now I've been on this since I've
764
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:48.519
lost about forty forty six forty seven pounds over the
765
00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:50.159
past few months, you know, back in the gym, hitting
766
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:52.199
hard and just kind of watching like the red Meat intake,
767
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:54.400
you know, no alcohol. Got rid of most of the
768
00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:56.840
fun stuff too, No know, the hardcore sodas stuff like
769
00:37:56.880 --> 00:37:59.000
that too. And I still have some cheat days every
770
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:00.760
now and there, but man, I missed like pepperoni on
771
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:03.599
the pizza and like the sausage and so like it's
772
00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:06.239
now more chicken, and then I find myself eating more
773
00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:08.239
sushi and stuff like that, or thy food or whatever.
774
00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:12.199
So it's been a tough quote unquote diet to get on,
775
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:14.840
but I've made the best with it up there that
776
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:16.480
I can too as well. And speaking of that too,
777
00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:18.840
I was just getting an email on it. January fifth
778
00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:22.159
to tenth, twenty twenty six, is up there. Steamboat up
779
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:23.880

780
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:27.199

781
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:29.239
Randall King and a host of others it's a lot
782
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:31.800
of hours of music, and man, it's an adventure if
783
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:33.119
you want to go up there skiing and do it.
784
00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:36.519
You know, Steamboat Springs, beautiful town in Colorado. So that's
785
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:38.559
one of the things that's coming up January fifth through
786
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:41.440
the tenth of twenty twenty six. And I always tell
787
00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:43.320
people I want to get up there one year and
788
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:45.679
just really enjoy Colorado too. So when you get a
789
00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:48.119
chance to kind of get out there and have some
790
00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:51.159
other hobbies. You mentioned that too about not doing music,
791
00:38:51.199 --> 00:38:52.719
what else do you kind of get yourself into.
792
00:38:53.679 --> 00:38:57.480
Man, if I'm not doing music, I'm on my motorcycle.
793
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.920
I'm cruising down the highway six if I say, miles
794
00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:02.920
and now, wind blowing through my hair, my wife on
795
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:05.800
the back, and we're we're doing something like that, or
796
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:07.599
or I'm out with the kids. You know, we might
797
00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:10.480
go out and go, you know, see an aquarium, or
798
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:13.639
you know, I'll take them, you know, down to maybe
799
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:16.239
the Houston Museum Arts and I don't know. We do
800
00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:17.840
a lot of stuff like that. We also like doing
801
00:39:17.960 --> 00:39:21.639
escape rooms. I love good mysteries. And sometimes we men,
802
00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:24.119
me and Kagan, you know, we'll we'll kick back and
803
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:26.679
we'll just play PlayStation. We'll we'll battle off, you know,
804
00:39:26.719 --> 00:39:28.800

805
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:31.880
who's see who's doing better on the game or or
806
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:33.679
you know. Even then we go out on bicycles. We

809
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:39.480

810
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:41.840

00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:48.519
beautiful part when you get to do it with family.
814
00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:50.239
