00:00Let's go deep. Let's get into it.

00:06First of all, we'd like to welcome you to Stars and Strings because this is a little

00:10bit of a surprise. So our buddy, Nate Smith, unfortunately had a little bit of an illness

00:15and couldn't make it. And you were like, I can do this.

00:18No, no, no. There were terms and conditions.

00:21What were they?

00:22The terms and conditions are that you can make it.

00:24I said a thousand percent I can be there, but Friday is supposed to be the best day

00:28this year to hunt. And so I was like, I need to be back as early as possible.

00:32So tomorrow, what time?

00:33So I think I get back at like 8 a.m. in the morning. So I'll get in the tree for the rest

00:37of it. I'll be good.

00:38That'll be good. So what do you what do you typically hunt?

00:40Deer right now.

00:41OK. Is it rifle season right now?

00:43Muzzleloader, but I just bow hunt.

00:46OK. Oh, all the time bow hunting. Interesting. Bow tech bow?

00:51Matthews. That's that's good, though. That's I mean.

00:53I listen to my husband.

00:54I respect it.

00:55He talks about hunting stuff and I go bow tech.

00:59Yeah.

01:00Parker McCollum, who also is on the show tonight, is a big hunter.

01:04Yeah. Have have you guys cross paths or done anything like that together with man?

01:08We met once when I opened for Morgan at Truist Park.

01:13He opened as well and he was super nice.

01:15He gave me like a big shout out on stage and he was super cool.

01:18I feel like I could have a nice hunting conversation.

01:20Oh, yeah. So have you done have you been hunting in Tennessee?

01:23Oh, yeah. Yeah.

01:24Probably too much already.

01:25No, no deer yet, though.

01:26No, I'm waiting for the right one.

01:28So wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:29Let them grow. What is the right one?

01:32What is that? What is that?

01:33What is the feeling? What does it look like?

01:35It's bigger than what's already on my wall or one that makes my knees shake when he walks out.

01:39OK. Where you like good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good.

01:42Yeah. Yeah. OK. I hope it for you.

01:44I think tomorrow. Yeah.

01:45Is it going to be cold tomorrow?

01:46A little bit. Isn't it?

01:47Cold makes them like get up and go.

01:50How many how many?

01:51I know you have a lot of deer songs, hunting songs.

01:54Yeah. How many do you think you've written so far about hunting?

01:56Oh, I have two on the record or three.

01:59Yeah. Two on the record.

02:00Just about hunting.

02:02So how many do you think you've written in a deer stand?

02:05Can you write songs?

02:06Yeah, I actually do get like ideas in a deer stand.

02:08That's why I like to go. Yeah. OK.

02:09I mean, you spend a lot of time by yourself.

02:12Oh, my God. Peace and quiet.

02:13And it's got to be some of the best inspiration just to sit there in the woods.

02:17It's nice and quiet and come up with thousand percent ideas.

02:20Yeah, it's super nice.

02:21I think this is why men like to do it, because I tried to sit

02:24with my husband once and I was like, he's like, you can't talk.

02:26And I was like, well, this is awful.

02:28And then I was like, well, maybe I'll like do exercises and like leg lifts.

02:30He's like, you cannot.

02:31Oh, no. And I was like, what do you mean you can't move?

02:36He had a ground blind and I was like doing calisthenics.

02:39And I was like, he's like, you can't.

02:40What are you doing? You can't move.

02:42I was like, what do you do here?

02:43Like, what are we going to do?

02:44For four to five hours, nobody talks to you.

02:47Yeah. And it's kind of nice.

02:49Do you ever go? Well, do you ever hunt with anyone else?

02:52I mean, I'm going hunting with my dad in the same year.

02:55I bring my buddies every now and then and and we'll just hang

02:59because part of it's like fun camaraderie.

03:01But that's like turkey hunting, duck hunting is more like buddy hunting.

03:04Your guitar player was wearing a hat today that says I hunt turkeys.

03:10Dave does, in fact, not.

03:11But then Dave was like, I don't, I actually don't hunt at all.

03:15No, he hunts girls at the bar.

03:18We all before this started, we were talking about how your guitar player

03:20reminds us of this social media comedian.

03:23His name is Chad Goes Deep.

03:25Spot on. Yeah, we just showed you think it's close?

03:28It's spot on.

03:29So you know what he told us about that?

03:31You guys play a game for to decide what bunk you're in on the bus.

03:36OK, tell us what is this game?

03:38So we were actually on tour with Jordan Davis and we knew we weren't in the bus

03:43yet, but we knew the next week and we were getting in one.

03:45And everybody was kind of arguing about what bunks they were getting and stuff.

03:49And so I was like, we're going to do bus bunk Olympics.

03:51And because we were in the short bus.

03:53So I gave my sound guy at the time who was sleeping on the couch the first pick.

03:56OK. And then everybody else, we made like a bracket.

03:59So we did like a gaff tape challenge where you roll the gaff tape down the hallway

04:03and whoever lands closest to the bullseye kind of like that, the ice thing, you know.

04:07And then and then we did a trailer loading contest where they had to push a giant

04:12road case like up this hill into the trailer, ratchet strap it in.

04:16It got pretty it got pretty like deep.

04:18I feel like that's fun.

04:20It was insanely.

04:21How did you do? Did you medal?

04:22Oh, well, I paid for the bus.

04:24So I just I didn't have to.

04:25You're like, I'm not in this.

04:26I was like, yeah, I made it up.

04:29It was fun for me.

04:29That's so much fun.

04:30That is exactly what I would love to do with my friends.

04:33Yeah. Congratulations as well on the top ten song.

04:36Thanks. Boys Back Home with Dylan Scott.

04:38Crazy. Tell us about the first time you got to get with Dylan Scott.

04:42Yeah. And go, hey, we're going to we're going to do a Dylan song.

04:45Yeah. It was actually his idea to do it.

04:48When I was on tour with him,

04:50he was just asking to show some songs that I was pumped about.

04:53And I showed him that one.

04:53And he was like, man, there's never been two Dylan's on a song.

04:56And I was obviously like, yeah, let's do it.

04:59So we we did it.

05:01And it's been such a big blessing so far.

05:03So one more thing, since we're at Stars and Strings

05:05and it actually is benefiting Folds of Honor, they provide scholarships

05:10to service men and women who have lost family members or are disabled.

05:15So we're wondering

05:16if you could just tell us a little bit about your appreciation

05:18for the men and women in uniform. Yeah, dude.

05:20I mean, gosh, we wouldn't get to be here doing this.

05:23Not wouldn't get to go hunt whenever we want to.

05:26Wouldn't get to do anything if it weren't for them being brave

05:28and going over there.

05:30And there's also like a lot of people don't realize

05:32how much they bring back with them to that they have to go through.

05:35So my just like full respect and full everything just goes to them

05:39because without them, I mean, we're not a free country.

05:42Amen. Amen. Thank you so much.
