Today's guest is a singer-songwriter

from Huntsville, Alabama.

Her rise over the last few years has been incredible to watch.

She has a new album coming out ASAP,

and a single called Dirty is already released featuring Teddy Swims.

We talk about all of that and a lot more.

I'm a fan, and I'm grateful to spend time today with Jesse Murph.

Shine that light on me. I'll sit and tell you my stories.
Shine on me.

And I will find a song.

I've been singing.

I'm going.

There's kind of vibe in the day, dude.

You're having a good hair day.

What do you do to it?

Huh?

What do you do to it?

You volumize it?

I mean, does that mean not wash it as much?

No, that's not what that means. Oh, it isn't? You don't got some powder or something oh you know i don't put no damn powder in my hair girl the lord does my hair while i sleep so when i wake up it's just such a dude thing what is the lord doing your hair while you sleep i mean yes for some people it works now some men they wake up and there it's just not you know, I think it's the Lord missed them or he left them too long in the.
I think so. What's that thing that they put on women? Did you ever go to the hair salon with your mom and they would put that thing on her? Yeah, they still do it.
Do they really? They do that to everybody, not just mom. Yeah, whatever that thing.
My mom sometimes, like if it was going to be like Easter or something, she would take us. Yeah, she would take us some to this nice place.
It was called the Looking Glass Salon. Wow.
And this was in Louisiana, in Covington, Louisiana. And it was nice.
Like when you open the door, it had like a little bell on it or whatever. Oh, that's how you know it's a good one.
Well, you just knew that they meant business in there. Did you go under one of those? Sometimes I would sneak in while my mom's hair was under it and I'd put my hands in there.

It feels nice, no?

Yeah.

And I thought it felt pretty cool and it just made me feel like I'm going to be somebody someday.

You should go.

You should go now, yeah.

I feel like you have long enough hair to where it'll do something.

To get it done?

Yeah.

Is that your hair?

Yes, all of it.

Yeah.

Wow.

I bet horses get jealous probably some of them. You think so? Yeah.
I hope so. Jessie Murph, thanks for coming in.
Thanks for having me. I'm excited.
I'm happy that you're here. I'm a big fan.
You know that. Yeah.
Right? Yeah. I mean, I love like, I don't know like the album names and stuff, but I went, what was the tour? I saw you in Boston, I think it was during Drowning maybe.
Yeah. Yeah.
And was it? Wow. Yeah.
Long time. And I even bought a shirt and I was going to say, and I saved it to wear if you ever came in.
You didn't wear it. What's up? And it's in Nashville.
That's fucked up, dude. I only bought one.
It's fucked up. But that's okay.
What's going on? How's your day? My day's good Yeah, no It's been a good day It has? Not much has happened Really? How's your day going? My day's pretty chill What happened? We did a podcast this morning And yeah, might go get a massage after this Or go to dinner You should Yeah And yeah, that's about it really You get massages a lot i do they're good for the soul yeah they really are huh i think having somebody touch you that's not trying to like that's not sus that's not yeah trying to be a pervert or whatever on the massage you're getting the places i go i tell them immediately when i go in there do not you really do that oh i tell them straight up i say yeah because i feel like you have to i just don't i want to i want clear communication between me and anybody that's touching my body i feel like but like because here's what happened should you be doing that though i don't do it what getting massages no i don't tell them that oh you don't you're just taking a risk should i be telling them i mean i think i think you prefaced like hey guys i'm just here for the massage especially if i was a girl i feel like i would really even if it's another girl you think so these days you're telling them yeah because some of the girls are even so strong and you don't know you don't know who who's who's you don't know who's who now i'm nervous no but i will tell them straight up because here's what happened one time i was in the massage like sometimes they have like that little chair where they put your face down have you seen that thing so i was in there the ladies massaging me a guy comes in um this was like at a strip mall in tennessee and a guy comes in and he's talking to the woman and he asks her if they do like happy endings or whatever damn like a client yes and i felt like i cannot believe this guy's asking this and the lady's like no no no yes okay okay the late and i was like tell him no you know i'm just like because i don't know how experienced she is or whatever and then um yeah she's like no and then the guy got you know he i think he felt a little embarrassed and then he left uh but anyway that's why ever since then I go in, I say, and if, yeah, she's like, no. And then the guy got, you know, I think he felt a little embarrassed, and then he left.
But anyway, that's why ever since then I go in, I say, and if we have a language barrier, I'll even draw. You draw? How do you draw it? What do you draw? Well, I'll draw like kind of a human body.
Okay. And then I'll draw kind of like the middle area.
How long would you say this is taking you? How long? you spending it on that? For me, it takes a little while to draw it.

And then I would put a big X over the middle.

That's what you do?

Yes.

I can see it.

If there's a language barrier.

That makes sense.

Yeah.

I can't judge you for that.

Thank you.

Yeah, because I want them to know straight up,

I'm here so that when I leave,

we both feel cool but not strange.

And that's respectful of you. Thank you.
I get it. That's where we are.
You've like had so much success at your age. Pretty crazy.
Crazy. Are there moments where it's like, I wish, because I don't think people realize like, a lot of people think like, oh, I would like to have popularity.
I would like to have fame. I would like to have some celebrity, you know, but then once that kind of comes, it's real and you can't like put it back in the box.
You know, do you ever have moments where you're like, gosh, this is a lot. And it's like, and it's going to be here to stay probably, you know? Yeah.
I mean, definitely. I think it, I'm sure you have to say it just gets a little overwhelming sometimes, but yeah, I don't know.
Yeah. Cause I mean, it's kind of crazy.
No, it is crazy. It's, and it's so different from how I like grew up and how everything that I saw when I was younger is.
So it's just like a very different, it's an adjustment for sure. Yeah.
Yeah. A lot of people don't know you are for,

you're from Huntsville, Alabama.

Yeah.

Since that rocket,

you have like the most trajectory out of Huntsville.

You think so?

I think so.

Since that,

you know,

the rocket that's by the interstate.

I know the rocket.

Everybody knows the rocket.

How do you know about the rocket?

Look,

honey,

you got,

you drive through there and then people are like,

have you seen the rocket?

It's the thing.

Yeah.

Did you go?

I don't know. I think we pulled over one time.
That seen the rocket it's the thing yeah did you go uh i don't know i think we pulled over one time that's the rocket yeah huntsville is kind of a cool place you don't realize i feel like it's the next lexington kind of you think so yeah i think because there's a lot of odd diversity there it's like i mean i don't know what you think it was like growing up did you feel like it was just the sticks? No.

Huntsville, no.

I feel like that's a city.

Yeah.

But I did live in this place called Athens, Alabama, and that was the sticks.

Yeah?

Yeah.

It's like 45 outside of there.

You ever been? It's outside of Huntsville?

Mm-hmm.

Have you been to Athens, Alabama?

Yeah.

No, ma'am.

Don't go.

What Athens is a city of the county city of Limestone County.

That's where you're from, Limestone County? Yeah. Well, I was born in Huntsville But I lived here during Like middle school And high school Limestone So formative years Yeah very formative You know Did you guys have Like school dances And stuff over there Yeah Yeah I think so Did you have the one Where the girl Has to ask the boy No Why would you think that Because some schools Have them Like in the south They have Sadie hawkins yeah oh my god yes we had this i went to that you're so right yeah that's a really fun one yeah anything you want to know about yourself just ask me i um but you had to ask a boy yeah i guess i did damn do you remember like do you're like um we did have that oh my god that has brought up so many memories oh yeah because the girl had to buy the shirt dude and i remember I We did have that.
Oh my God, that has brought up so many memories. Oh yeah, because the girl had to buy the shirt, dude.
And I remember I'd be at school and it would be like the day the girl was going to give you the shirt. What shirt? What shirt are you talking about? Oh, because girls and boys had to have matching shirts for Sadie Hawkins dance.
Oh, we had different Sadie Hawkins. Oh really? What was yours like? You had to get a matching shirt and the girl would buy it.
But then you had to meet her at school and school the day she would give you the shirt you know she'd call you the night before and she'd like my mom got a shirt and you're like all right you don't know what the shirt is no and you're just nervous anyway because you're just kind of nervous to be around girls and it's like junior high or whatever and then she'd get you'd like meet her for like a and you'd get the shirt and you were just so nervous i feel like were you like a nervous in junior high and stuff? Where were you like? A little bit, maybe. I don't know.
It depends on the situation. I feel you.
That's a scary situation right there. Do you remember the first time a guy had to ask you to a dance or anything like that? I don't know.
I didn't go to many dances. Really? Yeah, no.
I wasn't much of a dancer. Well, yeah, I didn't go because I was a dancer.
No, no, no. You know, because i was a dancer like a dancer like going oh you didn't go okay i think i went to one in like sixth grade or something okay but yeah okay so you're growing up around there you're not dancing what are you doing over there did you have a first job over there somewhere no i did i did track though i I did cheer.
You did track? Mm-hmm. Yeah.
What did you do? Huh? I played basketball with a couple of brothers, too. Bring it up again, man, when you get it.
You did track, because track is sort of a... That's me right there.
Damn, wait, which one? This picture's faded out number 34 okay it's really yeah and i'll tell

you this mr don on our team who was the same age as me but people called him mr don he had two children he was a power forward wow how old are you probably high school you were 13 in high That's cool.

Yeah, ball and sun.

That's crazy.

Yeah, yeah.

So what were you doing over there then?

Just, yeah, sports.

I don't know what did you do when you were growing up yeah i don't know either i guess just like the normal thing yeah that's normal stuff i guess what would you guys do for fun in your town like in our town sometimes like when we got in high school we would meet outside of the um michael's craft store parking lot yeah

and people would go do stuff okay yeah so similar walmart walmart really yeah but i don't know you didn't really want to go there really yeah i was like ratchet did y'all have like different parking lots for different like vibes oh like this parking lot is this vibe this one's ratchet this one's Yeah, 100%.

Okay.

At our school, we had this, it was called the Hick Tree, Prep Tree.

And then I guess a little bit more like the urban tree kind of, you know. And that's where, yeah, people would like be like more beatboxing kind of stuff or people like, you know, cipher and stuff like that.
So those were the trees that we had kind of. Okay, trees.
Yeah. And then parking lots.
I don't think so really. Like we had to go in in New Orleans if you really wanted to get ratchet kind of.
Wait, where are you from? I'm from Covington, Louisiana. Okay.
So it's just like a pretty regular place. You're close to New Orleans? Maybe 45 minutes.
Really? You go a lot? Oh, dude, we would go a lot. But the problem was that we'd go over there and get drunk, and then somebody would have to drive home.
Who drove home? Huh? Yeah, that's a great question And that's what our parents asked every time we got back Oh, it's fucked up, dude Yeah, it was bad, dude Fuck, I love that city In New Orleans? Yeah Yeah I love it, I've been like twice Yeah? I want to go back Did you go on tour? Mm-hmm Was the first tour Drowning was the tour? Yeah Okay Yeah, but no, it's such a good one I watched a documentary about katrina the other day you did and now i'm upset do you remember it yeah dude my friend was a news reporter during katrina he lived in baton rouge so they had to take him by helicopter every day into new orleans and then helicopter him out no way so he'd be there like interviewing people that were like he's like where are you sleeping tonight they're like we don't know, all right, I got to get on this helicopter and leave. That's fucked up.
Yeah. What? It was pretty sad.
I kind of feel for him some, but yeah, Katrina was pretty bunk, dude. You remember it well? I don't remember it that well, but I do remember seeing photos.
They had like, because the water was really high. There were photos where people had like gotten, were like kind of swimming through the water and then they got hung up on a fence like a regular heighted fence and then after the water went down they found bodies just like hanging over the fence on the fences yeah that's dark i didn't see that in the documentary it was pretty dark yeah uh did y'all get bad weather like that i mean that's a bit much and oh oh you have to flash it like that yeah i mean we can look We can close our eyes if we want, but yeah.
So stuff Like that. I mean, that's a bit much.
Oh. Oh.
You don't have to flash it like that.

Yeah.

I mean, we can look, we can close our eyes if we want.

But yeah.

So stuff like that, like people all over.

This was another thing that happened that people don't realize.

People would be like going because everywhere was covered in water.

So people would be going through somebody's backyard.

They had a swimming pool.

The people don't know while they're going through the water.

No.

Yeah.

And just.

Just down in. That's bad.
Deep in, dude end dude that's scary the whole city's a deep end um so yeah that was kind of i guess that was something did they have any tragedies in your area growing up are you guys like in the tornado belt or anything or head lice or anything definitely i had lice 100 but but tornadoes for sure yeah yeah Some of my friends definitely got their roofs taken.

Oh.

Yeah.

You?

We had a lot of head lice.

I think I grew up in the head lice belt or whatever.

And you'd see people itching all the time.

Yeah, serious. I mean, one kid, he was just itching so much at Christmas.

I remember he couldn't even open his gifts because he was just.

No.

Yeah.

No.

No.

Yeah.

No.

Yeah.

He get rid of it? I mean, I don't know. You should ask.
I hope he's doing no. Yeah.
No. Yeah.
He get rid of it?

I mean, I don't know.

You should ask.

I hope he's doing well.

Yeah.

I didn't get his name.

And that's okay.

You know, time passes and time heals all wounds.

Do you shave his head?

Let's talk more about you.

I don't know.

I don't know what I'm talking about anymore.

No, you've just had such an ascent.

It's really like, it's, it's rare, you know? I mean, you've just had such an ascent. It's really like it's rare.
I mean, you've just had such an ascent with your career. What are parts that are kind of scary right now? I think just decision-making.
I get really scared of making decisions. Yeah, me too.
Yeah, it's scary. Yeah.
That part overwhelms me a lot. And just knowing what's the right decision to make and trying to learn all that probably.
And decisions about, like, what song to do, like, maybe who to collaborate with. What kind of decisions do you mean? Yeah, and how to, like, deal with certain things, too.
I think I'm learning and, like, I don't know. I feel like I'm also dealing with, like, I've dealt with some, like, hate for the first time.
And that's something I'm trying to, like, figure out. Yeah? Yeah, because I got such a short temper.
do? Yeah Damn So I gotta figure out how to navigate it Was it with the Coetzel song? That kind of stuff? Or just other stuff? Yeah, I mean that's definitely Yeah, that was prominent Yeah, because you had a song with Coetzel And people were upset Why was it? I couldn't even figure out kind of why they were upset I think just because I was on the song Oh,? Yeah Oh that's a bummer Yeah I thought it was really awesome Thank you I appreciate that I think they were just pissed that like It wasn't just him probably You know Because you know sometimes you just want a song And it's like you just want that person Yeah Yeah that's true But they were pissed They were pissed Damn maybe people really dogged really did anybody say a really good burn and you were like yeah that does anybody because sometimes you read a comment you're like that's so good yeah i know i don't know i don't know there was a lot of there was a lot of shit um and would it just make you like kind of nervous about it or no it just made me mad oh I see Cause like nobody would say that to me in person Yeah It feels so personal Yeah You know Do you ever read your comments? Oh I'll read stuff sometimes Yeah this guy looks homeless How'd this guy get a home? That's fucked up Yeah oh the best This guy looks like somebody that might have matches on him That's what somebody wrote one time That's bad I don't know why but that one feels really bad So yeah sometimes you read stuff It really kind of You feel kind of cooked by it And you can't write back Because then you're in the bullshit No you shouldn't Yeah you should never Do you? Yes Do you really? Do you not? Hell no. You've never done it? Ever.

You never wanted to do it? Oh, yeah, I wanted to. Maybe you should do it.
Nah. I think you should do it.
You're bad. I can already tell you're a horrible influence.
So, okay, so you're growing up in Huntsville, and then how do things start kind of popping? You're doing music. You're running track.
And what's going on? You run by the music teacher and just hit some bars or what? no I started like

posting online and then it just kind of took off from there on tiktok yeah wow so do you think that the like now like people want to like do most young people think i need to be good at music or i need to be good on social media i wonder whoa that's a that's a really good question. I don't know.
Probably social media is their first thought. I think.
Yeah. I don't know.
That's a great question. I think it's kind of a joint effort though.
Like, cause if you, the music is the first part I'd say actually, cause you've got to have something there, I think. But then the next step is to make sure that can translate onto a screen.
and like in the beginning were you just kind of screwing around or what happened i haven't seen your earliest tiktoks that's good it's um yeah i don't know i was just sitting in my like in my house in the basement and i would just like film videos and be singing i was like doing covers and shit oh nice yeah and then one of those blew up and then it right when COVID happened. So then I was just stuck at home.
So I just kept doing it. Just in the basement.
Yes. Oh, and so you just were you at first you were just doing covers.
Oh, that's kind of perfect, huh? Yeah, it was a good start. And then did you start writing some like what was one of your first songs that you wrote? I don't even know.
I've I've been writing since I was like 11. I just didn't post it when I was 11, which is so good.
Yeah. Yeah, because I mean, yeah, imagine that.
Right. Yeah.
You know, even you get your, even it does well at 11 and then you're like, fuck, I'm 12 and I have all this, it's a huge, like if you want to be able to really like have a career, that's such a long career to have to even get to 30.

100%.

Yeah.

Also, and then you look back and you're like, things you say when you're 11, it's not how you feel when you're 12.

Totally different.

So different.

Like, man, I wish these girls would leave me alone.

That's 11.

Right.

And then 12, you're like, damn, where the hoes at?

It's so different.

Some kids are, and I don't see that kind of stuff.

Oh, wow, we don't have to.

Fuck.

Is this an early one?

No, this is so bad.

This is the beginning, and it's far down there.

That was fast.

Oh, my God.

A lot of these look like missing person photos.

This is so scary.

Hey, just scroll through really quick again like that a little bit.

Oh.

A lot of these look like, Jesus. Wow, there's a lot you were so brave that's a lot no and it was scary because people would like make fun of you at high school oh i'm crazy time for that to happen yeah to put yourself out there like that and then go to school like if you have one that doesn't really pop yeah and a bunch of them didn't pop before one popped Yeah.
Yeah. But when one popped that next day, you were like, what's good? Oh, yeah.

Wow.

That was so amazing. doesn't really pop yeah and a bunch of them didn't pop before one popped yeah yeah but when one popped

that next day you were like what's good oh yeah wow that's so embarrassing and you'd see the like where you can see that people would send something you know i'm talking about the little arrow oh yeah the arrow yeah that's the best marker but when there's like three oh you're like fuck and you know it's just three for three people in your school be like look what the fuck this chick's up Oh, bad.

That didn't happen to you?

No, because we didn't have it.

And so you were like if you you would sing in front of your class whatever and people were like you suck or whatever you know that no i didn't uh there's one video of me singing the boys will find it what did we have oh i remember like talent show is where you got to do something that's crazy dude so we. So since we didn't have TikTok, we had an actual talent show where people had to do a talent.
And that was your one chance. If you wanted, you basically got one TikTok for the year and it was live.
You only had one of them? That was it. Because it was like you get up a talent show and that would be it.
And people would just, the next day people would be like, you suck. Did you sing at the talent show? You know what I'm singing? This is you? It's a while back.
Wow. Different haircut.
Yeah. Cool.
We grew up in the church. There's no way.
That's not really me. Sorry.
That's not you? Somebody made this and sent it. Hell no.
That's not really me That's not you? Somebody made this and sent it That's not you? That is you That guy looks like mentally unwell I mean it looks like me But that guy is not Theo that is That's you I pray one day that God turns me into that Do you have a cousin? I don't know But if he is I'm going to take his life and his skills No And I'm going to become that guy You're related to him I hope i am y'all are have you talked to your mom uh yeah not as much but that's just our history but um okay so you so tiktok starts to happen you come out of the basement you finally realize um i'm doing well enough on tiktok i can come out of the basement yes and then how do you start to write like your first song like how does it evolve evolve a little bit from there? Do you write your first song by yourself? Yes. I think I like something like made me so sad or mad or something.
I think I went through a breakup or something and I just wanted that person to know how I felt so bad. So I would just like write a song and post it and I'm like, well, he's going to see it.
So that was my thought process. Yeah.
Because a lot of your stuff, it's like's like dang she is a lot of your stuff gives me like uh bereaved like revenge chick vibes what does bereaved mean? I don't know I liked that word a close relation of friend through their death oh maybe I'll use this one. Oh, bereaved.

Go down one more.

To be deprived of a loved one through a profound absence.

Fuck, that's sad.

Wow.

I'm going to have to use this word more.

Yeah.

Yeah, because some of you put stuff in your, I'm like, God, who's she mad at?

You know, or where's, some of it has a little bit of revenge in it though.

A hundred percent.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And it's kind of like, all right, interesting.

That's the most motivating emotion, I'd think so.

Do you think?

A hundred percent.

What are you doing? of revenge in it though. A hundred percent.
Yeah. Yeah.
And it's kind of like, all right, interesting.

It's the most motivating emotion I'd think so.

Do you think?

A hundred percent.

What do you think?

Right?

What motivates you the most?

That's a great question.

Yeah, probably some spite probably.

Spite.

Which is just, yeah,

it's like revenge's fancy cousin

that wears a tie, I guess.

A hundred percent.

Yeah, what is it?

Oh, proving something to people?

Right.

It's bite.

Yeah.

I'm telling you.

Yeah, it's like, oh, I'll show these.

And then I use things you don't say at church or say to your grandmother at your grandmother's

house, you know?

Exactly.

So you start to write a song, right?

Mm-hmm.

You write your own songs?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yes.

I'll collaborate with people sometimes, but I always am a writer. Really? So your first album was mostly your own? Yes.
Wow. Yeah.
Dude, it was so good. Thank you.
Yeah. Damn.
I mean, I feel weird as like a man saying that because I almost feel like it's, I don't want to say it's music for women because music can be for anybody. It can be for anybody.
Yeah. Dan, were you going through it? I don't, probably.
I've been whole life so i think i could just i was like what the fuck is going on here and so yeah there were so many things i was like um yeah i just loved it and it was kind of weird because i would tell my buddy i was like have you heard this girl and like what the fuck are you talking about dude you know put some, put some guar on, bro, or something, you know. Put on something dangerous.

Yeah. Okay.
But I don't really remember how all that happened. It felt like such a blur of time.
And my mom also helped me with a lot of it. She did? Because I was so young.
Yeah. And is she pretty smart? Yeah.
God bless her. Good woman.
What does she do for a job? She works at a transmission shop. No way.
Really? Family business. No way your family does, your family's not trainees.
What's the term called? Transmissioners. Yeah.
That's awesome. That's gotta be it.
Dang. So your dad sometimes has like grease on his arms or whatever? No, I mean, no.
I don't know. But how do they get him out of there? What, the transmission shop? I don't know.
I don't know. She works.
She doesn't like build transmissions. Okay.
So she's not a mechanic. No.

Okay. Yeah.
Could be a little bit strange maybe. My mom dated a mechanic i think for a little while

Was that your first time ever going? Yeah.
A hundred percent. I think the first place I ever went was Miami and I spent a week there and just made music for a week with producers.
Yeah. Okay.
And that was my first time like going anywhere for music. It was my first time like going on a plane other than for like cheerleading.
Yeah. It was crazy.
It must've been so exciting, huh? It was so exciting. It was so exciting.
And I was, I just remember being so like, oh my God, I want to do this the rest of my life. I like fell in love with it.
But yeah, I don't know. Everything just feels like a blur.
Yeah. Like how do you feel when people ask you? Oh yeah.
Now things certainly feel like a blur. And then sometimes you can't even remember what you were doing.
It's like, I don't even know. You're right.
You just somehow like got where you are. Yeah.
You know? Yeah. Like I kept, I've always kept working.
I just kept going forward. Exactly.
You just have to keep doing it. Yeah.
So yeah. So maybe we don't even have to learn about all that stuff about you.
You know, I was just, here we are. Do you have like a pre-show routine in that you do? Like, tell me about it.
Take me through some of that. Okay, pre-show, what I do, I'll have a Red Bull every time.
And I'll put on, lately I put on Sexy Red every time. I mean, you got to do it.
Shake that ass for Drake. Exactly.
That's what I put on before I go on. Get It Sexy is the song.
Oh, yeah. The last song I play before I go on.
And yeah, it's really all I do. It's not too complicated.
That's it? Yeah. And what's in your green room kind of? You have some candles in there? What do you got? I try to have some candles in there.
Like a good vanilla one. Oh, yeah.
Like something really sweet, probably. Like a, yeah, something that reminds you of like a car freshener.
You can tell you grew up poor if your candles match your car freshener smells. Damn, that's fucked up.
damn yeah i actually i realized that like hey light up that new car smell candle you know i get it though yeah bath and body works oh god you go there nobody used to go there to get like presents for your girlfriend or something you have to go in there it good place. And it was so embarrassing.
Some lady comes over in an apron

and she's like,

how can I help you?

You're like,

I'm in love with somebody.

I gotta prove it to them.

I need a damn scent

that expresses my fucking feelings, lady.

How many times did you go there, you think?

Probably three or four times.

For girls, the same girl?

Yeah, probably two different girls, maybe.

Damn.

But was what it was. I got in there and got out, you know, did what I had to do.
Huh? It did the trick, though? Did the trick. Every time it's going to work.
Yeah. My first girlfriend was kind of like a – she was like pretty masculine, I guess.
And she would – the school bus would come, and my brother's friend, it would pick them up first. So they'd already be on the bus, and she would pick me up and give me a kiss goodbye wow how old were we played second base we're seventh grade i don't know what grade she was she might have been 40 years old but she would fucking i remember and they would you could hear them the windows would be up because the driver would get mad he put them down you could hear them howling through the bus windows no What was her name? I don't want to say it Because I'm sure she's a beautiful

Sorry, I didn't mean to do it like that

I think she just

You know howling through the bus windows. No.
Oh. What was her name? I don't want to say it because I'm sure she's a beautiful- Sorry, I didn't mean to do you like that.
I think she just, you know, some people, she's a late bloomer, you know? No, I actually feel like girls probably, like, mature faster at that age. Oh, she was just tall.
She was mature, dude. She was tall? She played second base.
Oh, come on, dude. This is a lot.
Damn, that's a weird image in my head right now. This is a and i didn't hold on to that gate or whatever she was really she held me up dude i didn't have a choice she played second base i think on the for what sport i don't know hopefully not baseball but all i'm saying is was she was a tough gal and i was just glad that we had each other for the time that we did and that's when you got bath Bath and Body Works for? Yeah, I remember getting her something and she wanted like a lot of like Atlanta Braves like baseball gear and stuff.
So she did play baseball. Yeah, she really did.
You had it right the first time. She played, yeah, she played a woman's baseball.
Anyway, yeah, I'm trying to think what do I have in there? So I'll have like a yoga mat. Oh yeah, they're sexy right there.
Bring her up. Wow.
That was a wow that was a good one yeah that was fun dude she's so good and i just got and i i walked in this um if you're if you're listening on audio it's just a picture of me and sexy red and then there's uh i have this suicide boy shirt on and i just gotten that there was a room next door i was asking i was like you guys know where this clothing shop and like the people right next door have a bunch of clothes. And I just walked in there and they had that shirt.
Like right next door to you? Of Suicide Boys. You ever heard of them? Of course I've heard of them.
Yeah. I just found a song that I really like by them.
Is it called Dust in a Vase? No, is that one good? Yeah. I only know one song.
Really? And I love it. Maybe I should dive in.
Are there rows? I'm trying to think of the one I like. But sexy was cool, man.

And yeah, I tried to invite her out to do something, but she got pregnant.

Damn.

Which is kind of the same thing.

Because a lot of women are like, I can't.

I have to wash my hair.

But she's like, hey.

I got pregnant.

Yeah.

That's one hell of an excuse.

And I know.

I was like, I even asked my buddy.

I was like, you don't think she got pregnant just so she didn't have to go out with me? He's like, you think someone would get pregnant because she doesn't want to go out with you, dude? That's, you're an idiot. I mean, that's commitment though.
It is commitment. That's some real like people pleasing shit right there.
Yeah. Yeah.
So anyway, um, oh, and then, so yeah, before my show, what will I do? Yoga for like 34 minutes? Really? Actually? Yep. A hundred percent.
Like regular yoga? Hot yoga? I do yoga with Adrian. It's just on the computer.
Okay. And I'll put my yoga mat in my green room.
And then I will have like a couple sips out of a coffee. And I'll listen to some FGL or some Boosie.
Or maybe some Morgan. And then I'll go out there.
Okay. I like this routine.
Yeah. The yoga's good.
Yoga makes you feel good. How long have you been doing it? I've been doing it for maybe six years.
Wow. So I'll do it probably three times a week right now, but it just makes you feel, I don't know, it makes you feel pretty alive, I guess.
You do like complicated yoga? Hell no, dude. You said six years? Like bird or bald eagle or whatever that stuff is.
Damn, you know the names for all of them? Whatever that other one or something i don't do any of that i don't know what does that one look like i haven't heard of that one you got to be a woman to be able to do that one i think but it's yeah i think there's just a lot a lot of different ones so um you've got to do some cool collabs yo right yeah some great collabs crazy. Jelly Roll called you his little sister.
What did he say? Yeah, you talked with him, didn't you? Yeah? Yeah. I love Jelly Roll.
I mean, who doesn't? No, he's the best dude I've ever met. I know.
Such a great man. I almost just wore more of him.
Or if they just turned him into two eclairs. But no, you gotta have jelly roll.
Jelly roll's too good.

When you guys made this video, Wild Ones,

this was, um, cause this whole

thing's just like, it's not one shot, was it? How long

did you guys, how many times did you guys do it?

I don't know. You know what's

fucked up? I don't know if...

Were you really there? No, that to me, I was

there, but I don't think, I don't know if I've watched

the full video. I don't

like to watch them back. Really? Yeah, I know, it freaks me out.
I don't like to watch them back really yeah I know it freaks me out I don't like to watch it yeah why fuck is that bad I should start watching the whole video no I don't listen to my podcast really no no that'd be weird yeah and you would just be sitting there forever and then if people see you listening to it sometimes I'll feel bad like I'm in the airport editing it or something and I'll see someone if they see my computer and like oh god it's sad Theo listens to his own podcast makes me feel sad sometimes but right I feel weird it's like it's not my business to be watching it that's a good point right it's your business to be making it exactly yeah so like yeah what are some collaborations because like like, so collaborations so far, you've had Coe, Jelly Roll. Diplopolo G.
Diplopolo G. Maren Morris.
Maren Morris. That's a lot.
That's it. People love collabs, I feel like.
I'm a collaborator. Really? I love collabs.
Yeah. Yeah.
Do you prefer if it's with a male or woman? I've only done one with a girl, but I think I'd like to do more. Yeah.
It depends on the song, you know? Yeah. You got to pick and choose wisely, you know? And is that kind of the hard part? So do somebody pitch you a collaborator first and then they pitch you a song? Or how does that work? Or do they pitch both of you guys a song at the same time? Well, since I write my stuff, it's like I'll make a song and I always make it just for me.
I never make it thinking about this is going to be a collab. Right.
So I'll make it and then I'll just have to delete my second verse. Oh, and let them put something in because they have to get to write their own stuff, huh? Yeah.
Most of the time. Especially if it's a guy because the perspective is normally different.
You feel me? Yeah. Who would you collab with if you were a singer? Oh, wow.
Would you be a singer or would you be like a rapper? Oh, I was going to say dancer, but I'll – oh, I don't know about a rapper. If you had to start a music career right now.
You know what I would be? I would think I would be like a country DJ kind of. Okay.
That's fire. Because I don't think there are enough of those.
Right. What I hate is you go to EDM club or something like that.
You go to like a, you know, even in Vegas, you got some of the nightclubs. A lot of times it's like, you know, it's Diplo, John Summit, Chainsmokers, all good stuff, right? Love, fun to go to, fun to listen to.
But they never have like that, a DJ that's kind of like a country DJ, but the same place. I like if you did like a country dj in some of those places it would like people would love that too you got a point you know i really feel like there aren't enough of those it's crazy what are you doing side hustle well then i just think people would uh i think people would be like what the fuck is this dude doing and if it was bad it's like I'm already doing one thing.
But if I could do something, oh, I know what, I would be a Christmas singer. You think so? And you only sing at Christmas? Like caroler? Yeah, baby, that way I only work one month out of the year.
And when they know when I show up is business. No, not a caroler, dude.
I'm not going door to door. What is a Christmas singer? is a dang okay a good person that sings christmas and sings about christmas boy bells will be ringing that kind of stuff that was you don't fucking lie to me that guy was you that was a pervert man you sing just like no that guy's a pentecostal and that guy's been through a lot you're fucking with know.
That's a great, but that guy's had a lot of tough times in his life.

Yeah, I would think, yeah, I would probably be, oh, oh, jazz, maybe something like that.

Like Michael Buble?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I would have like a cool name too.

What would it be?

You could have your name, I feel like.

Thiovan, maybe.

I'd be like, oh, I'd have like a name, like mystery or something, like a stripper's name, but for a man. So like what? Mystery would be my name.
That's good. Mystery Jackson.
But it's for Christmas. Yeah.
I like it. And it would be called mystery toe, like mistletoe.
That's good. You've already thought this out.
You've already thought it out. This is all horrible.
We're supposed to be talking about you, Jesse. So what else can we talk about here then? So you have a new album that's coming out.
Yes, I do. I do have a new album that's coming out.
And it's called? Damn, dude. You have vengeance towards men, huh? Not all of them.
Really? Yeah. But there's a couple that really must have just.
Yeah. Somebody had to do it.
Yeah. Somebody had to.
Somebody. Yeah.
Somebody always has to break our heart, huh? Damn. That happened to you? Oh, I think it's happened to everybody.
I think it's one reason why so many people can like relate to all types of things. Probably.
It's kind of crazy that we break each other's hearts, you know? I know. And it's common.
Yeah. And it does happen to everybody.
Dude, it's so crazy because like how you feel, your heart, it's pretty important. And then you freaking, you're like, here you go.
And then everything is good for a little while. And then we let each other down, you know? Yeah.
Fuck. I know, you're right.
When did you get your heart broken you think even a timeline we don't need names i don't think it was really a i mean things happen and you like go through things and you see things and i think it's more with this album specifically i think it's more of like a build up of things like something set me off and then it just made me think about everything else and i was just fucking angry and then that's yeah and when you get angry what do you do you go to a shooting range or anything like that that's exactly what i do no i'm just kidding oh i've never done it but i want to try shooting range yeah do you go i took a date one time to a shooting range it's an interesting place to do that it was and it wasn't here's what i realized as i get there i was trying to be cool and stuff at front at the counter or whatever and we checked out a couple guns dude you can check out guns and then here's the crazy part the guy's like all right just here's your guns go in there booth four or whatever and the guns are just sitting there and i was like are you gonna bring the guns in there for us and he's like no you guys bring them in and he put them just like in this little like kind of like a bin they would give you at the airport or whatever so i'm like carrying these the guns in there for us? And he's like, no, you guys bring them in. And he put them just like in this little like, kind of like a bin they would give you at the airport or whatever.
So I'm like carrying these two guns in there. And the girl's like, this is cool.
This is fun. And then I didn't know what to do.
No one had ever taught me how to use a gun or anything. They didn't teach you? Huh? No, they ask you if you know.
And you lied? Yeah. Why would you lie about that? That's a fucking crazy thing to lie about.
Well, I had to impress this chick, bro. And so i'm in there and and i was like oh use yours first did she know she didn't apparently she didn't know either so well that you're so fine well yeah but she should know dude you know because women need to be able to defend themselves or whatever and so i was like use your gun and she's like i don't know how to use a gun you know and then I realized Like oh shit I don't know how to use a gun And so I picked it up And then I realized You're in there And there's other people You could Shoot anybody If you want I've never been in What does it look like It's like Could you really Oh 100% There's no like walls Oh there's walls But like you're facing your target And there's a wall On the side of you But right around the edge of the wall is just the next person shooting really so you could literally like if you hated somebody you could just shoot over that way you think that happens a lot i i you think it's a common thing i don't know but i just hope it doesn't i was amazed they gave us these guns so then i said look i'm gonna be honest with you let's go back to the front to talk to the guy.
I said, I think these guns. You had to double back.
That's bad. I said, I think these guns are broken.
That's what I told him. And so we went back and like, he gave us some kind of like easier guns to use or whatever.
And it was pretty fun. So you just picked some complicated.
I'd pick like some SIG, some SIG, SIG. What's a gun called? SIG.
SIG. Bring it up.
SIG SAR. Yeah.
Yeah. It was just, it was fine, but it was just a lot.
But after that, I learned how to use a firearm, they call it. And now you know.
Yeah. And you could do it at any time.
Yeah. And I live in Tennessee.
It's a's a state where you can um damn you live there you can do what you got to do yeah i live in nashville you can damn really yeah i used to live there you did good place do you miss it or not um i do i just moved like two weeks ago where'd you move to la santa monica yeah no way you're by the beach yo i really like it but i do miss nashville yeah's such a different world It's so different I mean Nashville's so quiet You think so? I think so I don't think so Really? I think it's loud Depends on where you live though Yeah I mean I just live in kind of like a regular neighborhood I guess You're in the suburbs? Nah Okay I'm in the city Okay I would get out in the suburbs I've been looking at some houses but I've just been touring so much and here sometimes that I'm like if I bought a different house I wouldn't be able to be there to live in it yeah I feel you I feel you so heavily yeah so Dirty that's the new single off of the album yeah and the album's called If These Men Come Around I'm Gonna Kill Them What's it called again? That's exactly what it's called Okay Okay Damn that somehow Is almost even worse You'd almost rather Have somebody shoot you Than to say you were the devil You know Damn you think that's really bad? What? To shoot somebody? Well yeah Yeah Yeah no no no That's bad right? Yeah Yeah The name of the album? Yeah I think it I think it's good. That's good.
I think it fits you. It actually makes me really happy that you think it's bad.
Right. I haven't really told it to any men yet.
Really? Yeah, but I love your reaction, though. Thanks.
It makes me feel good. Damn.
Yeah, you are, you got the dark arts in you, I think. You know? And that's okay.
Maybe you were a Halloween baby.

Do you have a first single off of it?

I do.

The song that just came out,

The Dirty,

with Teddy Swims.

Oh, yeah,

with Teddy Swims, dude.

He's such a,

I saw this great TikTok

of him the other day.

Somebody was singing

on the street

and he walked up

and sang with them.

I know what you're talking about.

It's so good.

Find that up if you can.

Teddy swims.

Craziest voice ever.

Damn, I haven't even seen this one.

I don't know. I don't know.
How many times, how many times did I tell you I'm no good at being alone? Get out of town. Yeah, you have to join me.
Really? You got it. go.
You go. Damn.
That wasn't seen. She just realized, I'm out of a see? Wow.
Was that so cool? That's great, Nick. Thanks.
Was that pretty wonderful to get to... What was it like when you first met him? So crazy.
He has one of the best voices ever. Oh, it sounds like he has a thousand years just trapped inside of him.
That's a great way to describe it. I like that a lot, actually.
Like somebody just

screaming through a fucking wishing well of beauty.

A hundred percent. Yeah,

it just sounds like he's hurting.

Yeah, it's like...

It's Chris Stapleton-y.

Wow, it is, huh? Yeah, right?

I'd say so. Yeah, a hundred percent.

Yeah, it's Chris Stapleton-y.

Dude, I went and saw John Mayer

recently. I went and saw the Grateful Dead and Company, and John Mayer plays with them.
And sometimes he'll hit a note, and it feels like he's trying to find the exact note that will take us all to the end of time or something. I feel like he's specifically good at that.
Yeah, he's just like, he just rides that thing. That's exactly what he does.

He's just such a crazy boy.

And then here's a couple of Viettes right here.

Bring them up.

And this is Jan Mare.

Damn, this fucking kid is ripping, bro.

Full allowance this week.

God damn, yeah, bro. Full allowance this week.
God damn. Yeah, yes.
Look at his face. How does he even know how to feel all this? What? I got a game on tour right now.
This kid could also be 40 years old, dude. We don't know what's going on, bro.
Unreal if that's a real person and not AI. Okay, so the new album, what's like, tell me about it then.
Well... Are there new collaborations on this album? Are there people, and did you reach out to them? How did it come about? What happened?

Take me there, Ms. Murph.
I'm going to take you there.

Okay. So, first and foremost with Teddy, collab.

I had this song, Dirty,

that I made probably about a year ago today.

And I posted

it and it went viral.

And I was just about to drop it.

And then Drake

texted me. He slides into my DMs.
Damn. And he was like, you trying to let me get on dirty.
Really? And I was like, yeah. Is that a euphemism? What does that mean? I don't know.
I don't know what he's into. What do you mean? Like, what was he saying? Was he flirting, you think? Or he was asking about music? No, it's about music.
Okay. And I was so excited because I love Drake.
Big Drake fan. I i think he's incredible yeah um so that happened and i was kind of just like waiting on that and it was like some back and forth and then it just ended up like not working it disappeared yeah it just didn't it didn't happen wow that had to be freaking amazing were you scared to write back how long after you saw his message this is the question how long after you saw okay drake sent you a freaking message and you're like how long do you wait to even open it i don't know i don't i was definitely freaking out he's one of my like favorite like just like songwriters oh yeah it's like if somebody from the bible sent you a message he's so he's so good yeah um but i don't yeah no i was definitely freaked i was like what do i how do you do that? What do I do? Do I even wear something nice to text him to message him back? Is that how you feel? I mean, I was like a little like, I don't know what to, I didn't know what I thought.
Yeah, I was like, hey, I definitely asked a couple people. I was kind of.
No, 100%. Yeah.
You have to. Like, what do you say to, yeah.
No, 100%. And so then you wrote him back? No, I did write him back.
But anyways but anyways it didn't happen but it made me realize that i did want i wanted somebody on the song i wanted it to be two people um and i was like fuck well who should it be who could it be even though you just written it for you yeah right yeah that's cool though i just wanted it you know yeah maybe he really made, like, this song would be sick as a collab. So I was like, who should do it? So I asked my fans.
I just, like, asked TikTok, and they were like, I got an overwhelming response of Teddy Swims. Really? And once I saw that, I was like, oh, my God, a fucking chorus.
Dude is crazy. So I hit him up, and he, like, did a verse, and it's incredible.
So that's how that happened. And then I also have a club with ******.
No way. Really? Bro, his energy is strong.
Strong. He brings energy, man.
That guy is his own fucking thing. He's like almost like somebody cut a power cable and it's just fucking that one that's just like that on the street, you know? Like the city hasn't come to fucking clamp it down or whatever yet, you know? A hundred percent.
I love his energy as always. Anytime you're around him, you feel like kind of like just lifted up, you know? A hundred percent.
That's a great way to describe it. Yeah, he's a crazy, crazy character.
And he just started even playing music, I think, like five years ago or something. Yeah, it was really recent, right? Yeah.
Which is wild. It's crazy.
What did he do before he did like? I don't know. Somebody said, I think he was in lawn care or something.
Yeah, something like that. So it's like, wow.
Wow, what a 360. Yeah.
Let's see. This is so helpful.
Lawn care is dangerous. Swims, Teddy Swims grew up in Conyers, Georgia over there.
His father introduced him to soul music at an early age. Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Al Green.
Swims' family were American football enthusiasts. He had been playing American football for 10 years during his second year at Salem High School.
He must have been held back then. He played for 10 years in high school.

Jesus.

No judgment, dude.

I did two years in sixth grade.

Did you actually?

Yeah, it never leaves your system.

What happened?

Mom said they needed me back.

Really?

She said they wanted me back.

Did you fail?

I wouldn't say failed.

I would say, yeah, we had some disagreements maybe

on the invoice at the end of the year. But yeah, you know, that's what we did.
Yeah, Teddy's so magical, huh? You know, that's one thing that's amazing about TikTok is just how many artists you can find, you know? So many talented people on there. And there's like things that will come across like um i know you had maddox

batson on your show he came on the podcast and i just saw like his videos and people would tag me in him and be like oh theo this looks like you when you were a kid or this reminds me of you and so then next thing you know like he showed up and we had we went for a ride i got a cybertruck we went for a ride in it and um just ridiculous you know um and we got to listen to like his first new song.

Yeah, he's so...

He's such a sweet kid.

He is.

He's always... just ridiculous, you know? And we got to listen to, like, his first new song.

Yeah, he's so... He's such a sweet kid.

He is.

He's always, like, so just...

Oh, that's his mom right there, too.

She's pretty vibey, but she's married.

But, yeah, that was him, man.

We had a nice time.

But, yeah, that's one thing.

It's like, oh, you can hear a lot of...

Yeah, you can just hear, like, a lot of new artists.

People can break through really quick. A hundred percent.
Like, that situation is crazy. He's one thing.
It's like, oh, you can hear a lot of, you can just hear like a lot of new artists. People can break through really quick.
A hundred percent. Like that situation is crazy.
He's so young. I know.
What is he like? He's like 13. Yeah.
I mean, that would be so scary. That's a crazy age.
Because then it's like, I don't think you develop any of your own like thoughts or real like, or not thoughts, but. Yeah.
No. He's a fucking adolescent or whatever it's called.
A hundred percent. And he's also going to, he's going to be so massive.
Yeah. It's like people compare him to Justin Bieber all the time.
100%. So that's also tough because you're like, how does he just be himself? He seems to be good at it though.
I really do feel like he's made for it. You know what? That's kind of funny.
Yeah, he kind of just acts already like he's a star. He does.
He just has that about him. He just fits in like it's okay with him.
He doesn't even second guess it. No.
That's also a thing of being so young though. I don't think it's like it registers really.
He probably doesn't really like, it doesn't feel like it's crazy just because you're young I feel like. Right.
Because also I think at that age you feel like almost all kids probably feel like a star anyway because you're like just that vibrant, crazy energy. It's just that age.
Yeah. Right.
So he's just like, no, but he's great dude. Yeah.
that was pretty cool. I'm trying to think of who else that I'll follow or listen to.
Yeah, who's your favorite artist? Who do you listen to? Right now I listen to Red Clay Strays so much. Have you heard of them? Yo, so fucking good.
She comes from Super Spice Golden. Wow.
I know that was you. I fucking know it was you.
Yeah. God, they're good, dude.

And they have, after when I'm leaving stage, that's a song that we play all the time.

They got that song.

That's your walkout track.

I just want to be loved.

They remind me of like the Beatles.

They remind me of Aerosmith a little bit.

A walkout track on, yeah, when I'm leaving.

I can't remember what it's called.

I love that you love them. They're so good.
God, they they're so good They're from down near you, they're from Mobile No, I didn't even know that That checks out I met you Like two years ago We met at your agent's house A&R A&R And your brother was there Your brother writes with you, Is that right? Yeah, he tours with me He tours with you Guitar He's a guitarist Yeah Nice So was he like part of some of your Like how did that Did you have to incorporate him? Did he have to audition? Or was it just like It's a two person deal It's a two piece We always just kind of like played together Like he's always just been obsessed with guitar and he writes too he's incredible um but just growing up that's just what we did so it just felt natural i feel like and it's so nice to have him on the road is it yeah you know why could you get to do things together yeah it's just like also a sense of like home and family yeah yeah he's a he's a real real dude. Are you guys pretty close? Yeah, I'd say so.
You have siblings? Yeah, I got three siblings. They're pretty good.
My sister's a nurse now. Damn, wow.
And I'm like, Jesus, dude. I would not let her go near me.
Why? I just, I couldn't imagine. She's like, if I pulled up, I was like hurt or something.
She's like, I'm gonna I was like hurt or something She's like I'm gonna help you I'll be like get the fuck away Really? I mean I think she's probably educated You know she knows what she's doing But I wouldn't let her She's got to And she can prescribe pills and stuff now Damn So I mean We'll see what happens Okay so what else on the album And then how far after do you tour Like do you have a release strategy Like do you start to strategize more these days With social media Or do you feel like you Do things kind of whimsical Or is it like do you have like almost a calendar Where you know when you're going to put out what I feel like Yeah I know we're Strategizing is a bigizing is a big part of it. That's another part that really overwhelms me.
I don't want to do that. I just want to like put out the music and then step away.
You always seem very like, on your socials, it always seems like super, just you kind of having a good time. Like just, you know, singing some of the bars of the songs and that's it.
You know, it just feels, it feels like you're just at home, just doing whatever you want, you know? Yeah. That's how I'd like to keep it.
But you do have to like think about when you're going to do this and when you're going to do that and why you're doing, you know? But I hate that stuff. It really freaks me out.
Yeah? Yeah. Anything that's too planned freaks me out, I think.
Oh, yeah. You know? Oh, yeah.
Well, once you start, and I start noticing too, it's like, well, let's do this or do the edit. And it's the second you start to feel that it's becoming too edited, I can already tell it's not going to be good.
100%. Or it's not going to be real, you know? Oh, that's a great, yeah.
No. First of all, I'd like to say thank you to Dan Morgan and everyone over at Morgan & Morgan.

This is a paid advertisement. So now you're living in LA.
Yeah. Wow.
I know. I never thought I was going to move ever.
Ever. Really? Yeah.
Because I love this. From where? You moved from Nashville to LA? Yeah.
I just love the South so much. Yeah.
And I don't know. I was never like a big fan of LA, honestly.

Yeah.

But now I'm here.

And how do you, and first you moved to Athens to Nashville?

Athens, Huntsville to Athens, to Athens to Huntsville to Nashville to LA.

Okay.

And why'd you move out of Athens?

It was just really, like I said, I went to middle school and high school there.

And it was really, really small and super conservative, like so conservative. Really? It's in the Bible Belt? Like heavy Bible Belt.
And I like. Were you with the church? Yeah, I like sang at church for a little bit.
But I cuss a lot in my songs and shit and that was like a really big deal there um especially when me doing cheer was like really serious they would like make me like run laps if i like posted something and there was a cuss word in it i would have to like run miles for every cuss word really at school yeah public school too which is just fucked but then like like another lap the guys could do it which is fucked oh yeah most of the guys are allowed to curse in the south but women are mostly for more first pregnancy you know 100 yeah that's exactly what they were trying to say pregnancy and recipes that's like the those were like used to be the big women thing 100 Yeah Did you have the baby class at high school? The men didn't have to do it. We had to do wood shop or whatever.
Yeah. But the girls had a baby class? The girls had a baby class.
Is that everywhere? Babies. And then I think the second semester was, I want to say omelets.
No. Or breakfast, babies and breakfast.
Are you serious? Yeah. That's the class?

I mean,

look,

that's how you keep a family together.

You don't have babies or breakfast.

Some guys took it.

You were allowed to take it?

Uh,

yeah,

some guys did.

Home economics courses often consists of learning how to cook,

how to do taxes and how to perform childcare tasks.

That's fair.

That's fair.

But yeah,

I feel like guys should do that too though. No? Yeah.
Some guys, yeah, some, we had wood shop. You had to learn how to build taxes, and how to perform child care tasks.
That's fair. That's fair.
But yeah, I feel like guys should do that too though, no? Yeah, some guys, yeah. We had wood shop.
You had to learn how to build a birdhouse. That's fun.
How to build a, how to like de-hoof a horse or whatever. A couple different stuff we had to learn.
You really had to learn how to do that? Yeah. That's some Kentucky stuff, right? They had a farrier come and he would show us how to do the thing.
Have you ever had to do it? I'm like, dude, I don't even, I'm fucking, I can barely, like, we get one pair of Reeboks a year, dude. If I do this to my shoes, mom's going to fucking, mom's going to drive over my legs with her car, dude.
How often do you think people use that stuff? Do you ever think about that, how, like, you're never really using anything you learned in school? Oh, yeah. What are you using? I think the stuff we should teach kids is like, hey, hey how do you be nice to somebody else how do you recognize maybe if somebody else is having a tough day like emotional intelligence yeah it's and it's so it's scarce you don't even realize how scarce it is emotional fuck yeah 100 especially i think with my generation really yeah 100 there's just like a lack of like depth is there really do you feel like less of an interaction in your generation fuck yeah i mean for everybody right now though and i think just because of like i mean it's because of social media but like it's weird because we're so connected but we're so disconnected yeah young adulthood is no longer one of life's happiest times people are sad people are really That's why though I wonder.
Yeah, why do you notice? Because you have a lot of fans that are kind of like, you know, you do touch on that space of like, I want to feel something. Right.
Yeah. No, I don't know why.
I do think it's because of like you're spending hours a day like on a phone and you're seeing all these things and it's you're not meant to see that much. I don't as a human yeah and you see it and you're like then your brain's just going crazy and then you compare yourself to everything oh that's the truth you know everybody does it i think even adults do that now but it's i think it's really damaging for people like in high school and middle school well you compare yourself so much and here's one thing i realize it's like you may love somebody right but then if you see a thousand pictures of other that are not even real like they've been adjusted or filter then you see those then you're gonna think oh this that you can't help but feel some attraction to some really you think so i think sometimes it's hard because here, the phone isn't playing fair.
It's like, if there's filters and stuff, that's not even the real person or the lighting isn't real. You're getting tricked.
Right, you're getting tricked. But we're all getting tricked into thinking that there's something better out there.
That's fucked up. In relationships, it's fucked up too.
Yeah. You know how many like relationships end probably because of that? So many Snapchat.
You know how many relationships end because of Snapchatchat you got snapchat i have snapchat i don't know i don't use it don't use it i do not use it it's not good for you i don't even do it i'll never use it don't even do it i wouldn't don't well i will not um yeah but i don't even know yeah people are and sometimes now a couple years ago I would look at Snapchat, but sometimes you would open it up and there would just be like a ding. What? Cooter or something in there.
That happens to you. Yeah.
That's such a thing. You're like, what is going on? Unsolicited.
Yes. And you're like, what is happening or something? And it would be like, come to Memphis or something.
Somebody you don't know. You're like, dear God.
These are your friends on Snapchat. I snapchat i don't know these people are well that's a crazy thing on snapchat is it's just

nate you have no idea who the fucking person is what are you talking about you should it should

be your friends you probably added them oh yeah then i don't know how i got i don't know because

there's like 70 people that can send me stuff and i don't know any of them and i don't know how

they're able to yeah how did you get them on maybe when i first started i might have hit the wrong

button to where you can allow anything that's how you you get unsclusive dick pics. Really? Yes.
Well, I don't get any dick pics. Actually, dude, I have gotten a couple.
I know you've gotten one. There's some guys from Scotland who are always doing blow and sending dick pics, Jimmy.
It's just Scotland guys? Oh, yeah. That's really niche.
They either sound Scottish or they've done so much blow that they just can't speak English. There's audio.
Yeah, there's audio too. On the dick pics.
What are you talking about? Yeah, dude. You think I want a dick pic with no audio, dude? What are you talking? Just a silent wiener? What are they saying? What are they saying? Sometimes it's like you'll hear them doing little football chants or just talking in Scottish.
You're getting videos. Yeah, wiener vids or whatever.
That feels much worse. Well, it's more cinematography, I feel like.
Cinematic. Yeah, just a picture is like, oh, anybody could do that.
At least these guys are like. They're putting some work in.
It feels like. And they thought about you.
They really thought about you. All right, I don't want to think about it anymore.
You know, I'm 40 days off pornography right now. Wow, that's good.
I feel pretty hype about that, actually. I feel pretty good about it.
Do you think you will go to college? You didn't to college it didn't you didn't no but i've been thinking about it have you no fuck no like mabu would you go like him i'm never going to college but sometimes i do want to go because lately i've like when i was in high school i never i hated that shit and i didn't want to learn anything but now i feel like i don't know if it's my age or what but i just want to learn so much yeah i'm trying to i want to like force myself to read boring books because i just want to know more yeah you know but i don't know i used to want to go to harvard really yeah so you had dreams like that i wanted to go i just wanted to go because i knew it was like the craziest like what do you mean go like just go there eat in the student union or something? Or you wanted to go to school there? I wanted to go and be a lawyer.

Which I would have been

a fucking terrible lawyer. I don't know.

I hate confrontation.

Do you? I do. Some of your

I don't know. Some of your energy I feel

like you want the con. You want

you

No I do. You're there for it.

That's the weird thing. It's like the songs are like

the part of me that that I'm not. I'm not a fighter in my songs i'm a fighter yeah you feel me yeah but yeah no it's like my altar it's like what i you know yeah that's a good point sometimes we create yeah yeah i think when i'm i don't feel as confident off a stage as that i do when i'm on stage right i never even about that till just now.
It's just like what you got to get out, you know?

Yeah.

Without it, I might be a fighter, you know?

I could see you doing UFC or something.

You think so?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah, dude.

Have you ever done that?

Have you gone?

I've gone.

Have you never gone?

No, I want to go really bad.

Really?

So bad.

I'll see if I can help you out.

Please do. I really want to see it.
You would fucking love it then dude Really? You think so? Are you kidding me? Find a fighter to walk out to one of your songs to One of those bad bitches that are in the league Wow, you've watched women too? I watched a woman punch a tit off another woman No Where'd it go? And if you catch it you win like a hat happen. Or you win like an extra large shirt.
No, I didn't see that. I have seen, oh, a woman punched a woman's freaking eyelash off the other night in Denver.
She had fake eyelashes on? Yeah. That's crazy to wear that into the ring.
That's a crazy place to do that. She looked good, though.
She had makeup on. Right here.
Watch this. No.
Yeah. No.

No, don't do that.

You got to use a stronger glue.

What's the, what glue are women using on that?

God damn.

No, you know what?

You know what I think?

Do you know what eyelash extensions are?

You know exactly what they are?

Yeah, it's like a fake eyelash.

You glue it on, huh?

No, but the ones that they do, they'll go in there with tongs

and they'll do them individually

with serious glue.

And I hope that wasn't that

because if it was,

her real eyelashes got it.

Came out with it?

Look at how red it is.

Yeah.

Because I don't think she's gluing strip lash.

You can see it leaving right there.

No. Oh my God, Dio yeah I think that was an extension that girl lost her eyelashes yeah it's just that time of year oh my god I gotta go see that you think there's one tomorrow no no no they have them on Saturdays every Saturday you know what though I will make sure you get to one please do I'd be forever grateful you're right there by the cage Yeah, dude.
You know what though? I will make sure you get to one. Please do.
I'd be forever grateful. It's so much fun.
You're right there by the cage. Yeah, dude.
You're right there by the cage. Is that fucked up that we like to watch that as humans? No, because I think it goes back.
I think at first it is fucked up, but then you have to recognize that these guys are fighters and they love doing it. It's like, yes, they want to beat each other up, but they also want to show their skill and craft.
Right. They want to be seen.
Right. Just like a singer, just like anything, a strip or anything, anything.
It's like I want to put myself out there. So I think I used to sit there and kind of feel bad.
But now I realize I just have maximum respect for both of the men or women that are in there because they're doing exactly what they want to do. Yeah.
Here they put it back on, I guess. Or they took the other one off.
Yeah, no, her right eye is still on, and you can see it's gone on the... It looks like they're gone, though.
Yeah. That's bad.
Do you party, you drink? I do. I dabble.
I used to a lot more than I do now. why um i well high school like 17 was just rough for me and i think i like did that to like cope with shit which is not great but the older i got the more i just realized how bad it makes you feel yeah like i can't tour and drink a lot anymore because it just wrecks me i'll get sick so fast oh you have to take care of yourself so much when you tour.
It's crazy. It's actually crazy.
That's why like the other day people were ripped or, you know, Morgan Wallen canceled a show. It was in Tampa.
Do you see this? And Jelly Roll like went and did a show, which I thought was really sweet to try to be helpful. But also it's like, and people were like, fuck him or what, you know, but it's like, it's so hard.
And he's touring for ever three years straight just straight right i mean i think he's had maybe a couple months off here and there but not a long time i mean i was shocked remember he was touring off their first album and then he put out the double out remember that yeah no he just hasn't stopped touring so i can only fathom um that he's pretty burnt at certain moments, you know? And then they showed him the night before. It's raining.
Really? He's singing. And steam is coming up.
It was like 100 degrees. It was like.
Also, probably a long show. Like, he probably has a lot of fucking songs to sing.
Oh, he puts in a two. Yeah, it's like.
I think it's a two-hour show. Yeah, no.
That shit is so... I don't know how people do that long of tours

and not have to cancel shows.

Yeah.

You never want to have to do it,

but you can't sing if you can't fucking sing.

Yeah.

You know?

How much wear and tear is it really in your voice?

As a comedian, it's like, you know,

it's some, but it's not...

Yeah, it's probably really different, huh?

Yeah, it's more like just making sure

your mental state is okay to go out there

and build this energy of like, we're having a good time. What do you do if you're not? I don't know.
Like what would be warrants for you to not do a show? Or you're just bra-talking it regardless. You don't have a fucking choice.
Yeah, I know. So for me, nothing really.
Unless I was hurt or unless something like really tragic happened in life. but for singer is it realistic that it could come up to a like three or four in the afternoon you athlete and you're like i can't do it i mean it depends like fuck i i had to cancel one one time i had the stomach flu but like from hell like i couldn't it was so bad i throwing up like, like I just couldn't like walk very far without like throwing up and shit.
So I had to cancel it. You know, when you're just like weak and shit.
Oh yeah, I hate that dude. And you try to open a Gatorade and you can't open it.
You have to not ask your neighbor. That's how bad it was.
You're laying on the bathroom floor, just curled up. That's the only time I'll do it.
But I do lose my voice a lot. And I just do the show anyways.
I just hope that they're going to sing. Oh, that's why a lot of people go like that to the crowd.
Yeah, sometimes you've got to do it. But some people fucking, some people fake it, which is crazy.
It's not them singing the whole time? Some people fake it. You're lying.
No, you didn't know that? No, I knew that people have been accused of it. Mariah Carey does it.
No. No, she doesn't.

Really?

Mariah Carey?

Fuck, that's sad.

I'm just, allegedly, I've heard that she does it.

Somebody went to one of their shows recently that said they bring a sofa out there and

she just lays on the sofa the whole time.

In her pajamas, no less.

No, she doesn't.

Swear to God.

See if you can find any of it.

Because can you even imagine, like, you're like, I'll go on tour. But it's exactly how I'm going to be at home.
And you're just fucking. She's sitting on the couch and she's not singing.
She's got to be singing. You're fucking with me.
At that point, you have to sing. No, some of my friends just went in Vegas.
They saw her not long ago. They're like, she just laid on the couch the whole time in her pajamas and sang.
They're like, it was cool. But it was also like, this seems pretty crazy.
I don't buy it. It could be myth could be mythological you know i don't know it's got to be mythological have you seen that crab that's eating a gusher on the internet no show it's cool what is it it's a crab just eating a gusher see if you can find it what's your for you page like me yeah a lot of just positivity a little bit of tits probably honestly to be, to be honest with you.
But I'm just joking.

I mean, I don't know.

I haven't been on there in a while.

Watch Howie's reaction today.

She remembers.

Is this the one that I like?

Yeah, it was.

Yep.

Okay.

You can have whatever you want.

Here's a gusher.

There.

She's got to put it in her mouth.

Let me give her another one.

That's crazy.

The buildup is wild.

Yeah.

I feel like we're being fuckless right now.

That's the world we live in now.

Crabs are eating gushers.

It's just a different time. You ever had one? A gusher? A crab.
Oh, yeah, dude. Yeah.
Really? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
I mean, in Louisiana, we had a lot of crabs. Y'all didn't have one in Huntsville? No.
Hush puppies. I did have one.
That's the Huntsville thing, isn't it? Hush puppies? No. What is that? A hush puppy.
Oh, like the food? Yeah, it's like a little- That's not a huntsville thing that's an everywhere thing though is it is it i just they were really normal i thought a hush puppy was from huntsville alabama is it actually look at it where's the home of where did hush puppies get started there's no way do you like them hush puppy yeah i like the ones that are a little sweeter ah but i don't like the ones that have like jalapenos in them. You don't like jalapenos?

I like them, but I don't like them in a

hush puppy. Do you like spicy food

a lot? Yeah, I don't mind it.

But I'll fucking get weird if it gets

weird. It appears that it originated

with Native Americans.

In Southern cuisine, can we find out

where?

I thought it was in

damn Huntsville, Alabama. You ever had like a ghost pepper? My mom lied.
I don't know if I have. Is it cool? I've it was in damn Hartsville, Alabama.

You ever had like a ghost pepper?

My mom lied.

I don't know if I have.

Is it cool?

I've never had one.

All right.

Hey, we ain't going to force it on you, girl.

Oh, did you see that white horse that they have?

Where?

This is an animal I could see you having.

Where?

It's the fanciest horse they have, the most expensive horse in the world. Are you serious? Yeah.
Whoa this horse Because it was elected the most beautiful horse in the world because of its coat It's a coat that is somewhat silvery well you can see here Wow, it's just magnificent and it comes from a lineage of race horses with a great track record Wow. As you can see here.
Wow. It's just magnificent, and it comes from a lineage of racehorses with a great track record.
Wow. So it's for these two reasons that at auction, it went for over $50 million.
Holy shit. There is no way.
Can you imagine $50 million for a horse? Well, of course, it's just magnificent. $50 million.
I'd pet that thing all night. Do you like horses? I like them, but I think they got to like you, you know? They have to like you.
But that's expensive. Dude, I remember the first time I ever stayed in an expensive hotel room.
I was afraid to even go to sleep. I was like, dude, this is like $600 a night, dude.
I ain't sleeping. You didn't sleep? No, I understand.
I'm not wasting the money. So you just stayed up? Oh, you close your eyes.
That's $11, dude. It's like I'm definitely going to get my money's worth or whatever.
I know exactly what you're talking about. It's so crazy sometimes.
Do you guys ever get stopped by the police in your tour bus? I don't think so. No, only like border crossings and shit.
Yeah, to Canada? Yeah. You ever got in trouble? Are you on a tour bus? We do tour bus and sometimes, yeah, sometimes we fly but we'll do tour bus a lot.
Have you ever had any good run-ins with the police? No, I mean, shit like getting chased in high school. Yeah.
Like for trespassing and stuff. Oh, dude, we had this guy.
He got so high, right? He fucking called. He couldn't feel his arms.
He said he didn't have any arms or whatever. Oh, he called the police? Huh? He said he didn't have any arms.

Starts yelling, bro,

for people to call the police.

So the fucking police come.

He started,

he said these people,

I think he was on,

I don't know,

some type of drugs.

He's like,

these guys stole my arms, dude.

Right?

Fucking goes like that towards us.

Towards you?

Here's the dumbest part.

Oh, no.

The dumbest part.

The cop comes over and goes like this,

like we have his arms.

The motherfucker has his arms on him. This didn't happen.
Yeah. Oh, I swear to God, the guy was super high.
Dude, one night, my buddy Billy invites me over. He was working at a gas station all night.
He invites me over there. We smoke a little bit of weed.
I went outside. I don't know if I went outside to get someone in my car or something.
He felt so high. He thought that I poisoned him, right? He locks himself in the gas station, calls the police.
No. Yeah.
Because he thought you poisoned him. Yeah.
So I was like, I'm fucking out of here. Did you go? You ran? I left, dude.
Yeah. I didn't do anything.
And then the cops show up and like- And he's just high? Yeah. He's just high inside the gas station.
Where was this at? This was in Madisonville, Louisiana Beautiful area

Is weed illegal there?

I don't know if it's illegal or not

But

It's not that good of weed

Do you have a

Opener on your new tour?

Or you don't know?

No, I'm thinking about people

You got any ideas?

I know you got ideas

I'm gonna think of some

And let you know

What kind of stuff do you like?

I know you had Charlie on Friday On one of your tours And who was on your last tour Shaboozy Oh I just met him the other day Character right Him and Matt Schmooster I don't know I'm not familiar with him You would like his shit He has a crazy voice Matt Schmooster Yeah fuck I might be saying that wrong But yeah crazy Matt Schuster Yeah oh fuck Schuster It's a crazy last name to be fair But no crazy voice Wow so you were You were closing the show Yeah Andaboozy was, and that's when he was really blowing up, right?

This was like two months ago, maybe.

Wow.

This was right before he went crazy.

That must have been kind of crazy.

It was crazy.

It's been so sick seeing him go crazy.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's unbelievable.

He has another song out there now that people are vibing to.

Yeah, that's a, oh, there's a huge, Ron. Wait, Brandy.
Who's damn Ron Cyrus? I don't even know. That's a big family right there.
Yeah, that's a lot of family. So you're thinking of people now? How does that work? You just pick somebody.
No. Yeah.
But I'm sure a lot of agents submit people through, like, what about this guy? 100%, yeah. And do you feel like you have pressure to listen to any of that? It depends on ticket sales.
If you sell out, then you can pick whoever you want. Is your tour on sale yet?

There was a song. Oh, What Happened to Ryan, that song.
Damn. I remember that.
It was kind of strange that I was like, oh, this one's fucking kind of crazy. Sad.

Coughing music. That'll be your next album, you know? That's a crazy thought.
Dude, there's a video. There was like a church or something and they were doing

a, and whoever was doing the audiovisual

accidentally played a,

played a, um,

played a song, or played

a clip of mine. See if you find

that, Nick.

I don't want to keep you too long, Jess.

So, yeah, tell me something else before

you leave. Anything?

Oh, do you ever have any pets growing up? What was that

like? I did. I have a crab.

I'll see you next time. I don't want to keep you too long, Jess.
So, yeah, tell me something else before you leave. Anything? Oh, do you ever have any pets growing up? What was that like? I did.
I have a crab. Oh, you did? And it died.
No. And I killed it on accident.
Nah. Yeah, and let me tell you how it happened.
So I had a crab. Just one? Yes.
Okay. Its name was Bubbles, and then it had a shell.
And you know when you go to the beach? You ever been to Orange Beach? Oh, yeah. Right? Good time, huh? Great time, dude.
So I got it there and it had a shell and you know when you go to the beach you ever been to orange beach oh yeah right good time huh great time dude so i got it there and it had a shell but you know how they have like the painted shells you can buy different shells oh really and what do you get them done at like a salon or whatever no they just have them somebody else has done them already oh when you put it on your crab you're not supposed to apparently so i get the shell and I didn't it had like a bad one on, so I took it out. And so, and I tried to put it into the new shell and it just wouldn't and then it died.
That was it. Yeah, I haven't had a pet since then.
No. Should I get another one? I'm trying to think if you're trying to get something, you know, what you're thinking about getting? I probably shouldn't do a crab again.
It's probably wraps. Feed it a gusher, dude, if you do.
You think so? You know they like them girl That was a big crab That's fucking crazy You can walk that thing I'll fucking watch one of them bitches eat a nerd rope homie I don't give a fuck dog Next time I see you I'm gonna bring you a crab I'll give a damn twizzler to a dolphin No do not bring me a damn crab dude Play this video right here this is at a church Would you keep it?

Look at this.

You see this whale return somebody's phone.

They dropped it in the water.

That's a whale.

It's a beluga whale. Right? Wow.
I mean, it of like a trans dolphin or whatever. Do you know about SeaWorld? Yeah, I've heard about it.
You know about the dolphins? Have you ever heard about dolphin births? Mm-mm. I don't know if this is safe, but people can give birth and the dolphins deliver your baby for you.
It's like a real thing. What do you mean? You've never heard of that?

How could I ever heard of it?

Because it's not even something.

No, it is something.

I promise you.

What are you saying?

Like a midwife that's a dolphin?

Yes.

I swear it's a thing.

Unless I'm confused,

but I really think this is-

And where do you do it?

In the deep end or whatever?

Was this at a Hampton Inn?

This isn't that thing that happened in,

outside of Waco, was it?

It could have been.

No, I think it's a thing.

It's an option.

It's an option at SeaWorld?

No.

Look, it's a real thing.

I've never seen this.

Oh, my God.

That thing's a pervert, dude.

They help you get it.

That woman's married.

Somebody tell that dolphin.

Dolphin-assisted birth, a newer take on water births,

is apparently a trend growing in popularity.

The Sirius Institute in Hawaii, a new age center dedicated to encouraging

in the next video. dolphin assisted birth a newer take on water births is apparently a trend growing in popularity the serious institute in hawaii a new age center dedicated to encouraging the bonds between dolphins and humans often assisted childbirth however it's unclear if any women have actually gone through with it one couple from north carolina traveled to the center for prenatal bonding but the actual birth with dolphins didn't happen.
Wow. Somebody's had to do it though.

If it's a trending thing.

According to a website, pioneering Russian midwife Igor Sharkovsky began assisting births in the Black Sea with dolphins that live there.

Some of the reported occurrences included a mother and a baby playing with the dolphin

within 45 minutes of the birth.

Another instance of a free dolphin escorting a newborn human baby to the surface for its first breath. So it comes out underwater.
Bro, let me tell you this. If my baby is born, I'm not giving it to a fucking dolphin, dude, for even 30 seconds.
What if it swims off with it? That's a crazy thought. No, I think you have to do it.
But then you're like, oh, it didn't work or what? How are you going to tell your wife? It takes your baby or it just eats your baby? Oh. That's a fucked up thought.
But this is a thing though. They said it's therapeutic.
You know what's also therapeutic? Taking the child home safely and feeding him and probably homeschooling him and making sure that your home is protected with a ring camera. I mean, this just seems fucking insane.
Like how weird. People get too weird, dude.
Somebody in LA has definitely done it. Oh, some pervert in LA has done it all.
Somebody you know has probably done that. Yeah.
One of your friends. I don't have friends.
One of your friends has probably done that. Jesse Murph, I don't have friends.
You should talk to them. Do you have any new mentors that have come into your life through, like, you know, sometimes you meet some of your favorites and you meet any of them that I kind of, like has Madonna spoken to you?

No.

That would be wild though.

I don't know.

There are people I look up to a lot

that I know like communication,

like Adele.

I fucking love Adele.

Really?

I look up to her so much.

Yeah, I think she's incredible.

Yeah, she's magical, huh?

She's magical.

You seen her live?

No.

I've seen her in person somewhere,

but I've never seen her live. Really? i want to see it really bad yeah did you ever perform right after at a venue as her or anything like that no i performed in some of the same venues maybe because i mean she went on like smaller tours earlier in her career yeah but no i don't know she plays in vegas a lot i think yeah i don't know but did she ever reach out no but I don't know how this happened but she like signed a set list somebody got it for me for my birthday I think it was just a somebody was like can you please do this she probably did it but I don't know it's on my wall and it's my favorite thing I own really yeah what about you um let me think if somebody gave me something that was real nice one time.

The guy that's in Better Call Saul one time, I think I was performing somewhere after him,

and he left me a nice note.

What did he say?

He said, have fun.

I was just here.

Wow.

You have it on your wall? Nope. Bob Oirk but he wrote it signed it thought it was pretty nice of him that's special what do i have that's something that's real special yeah what's the best gift you've ever received or so what's something that if you could only hang one thing on your wall what are you hanging oh that's such a good question One thing I don't know I can't even answer, I don't think It's a crazy question There's a nice piece of art my friend painted Like it was the first piece of art I ever got And maybe I would hang that there, I guess What does it look like? It's just a picture of Chris Farley Who's that? He's a comedian He was in a movie called Tommy Boy Black Sheep He's like a picture of Chris Farley.
Who's that? He's a comedian. He was in a movie called Tommy Boy.
Black Sheep. He's like a famous actor.
That's him. He died, though.
I've seen him somewhere. Yeah, he used to do like, he did films like Adam Sandler, David Spade.
He was on Saturday Night Live. He did like Fat Guy in a Little Coat.
He used to do like all kinds of like sketches and shit. I know I've seen him somewhere.
Yeah, yeah. You've seen him.
He was on Saturday Night Live. He did like fat guy in a little coat.
He used to do like all kinds of like sketches and shit.

I know I've seen him somewhere.

Yeah, yeah.

You've seen him.

He was like unbelievably famous.

He was like the most famous guy that they ever had.

I mean, look at him.

He's fucking.

No, this is him just going on like a talk show.

Oh, fuck.

Obviously, fuck. Wow.
Wow. Yeah, dude.
My friend said he would just puke. Like my buddy would go over to his place sometimes and he's like, he would just puke on the side of his bed and then just like between like the wall and the bed all the time.
Yo, for why? Just to party. Just to be like that.
Dude, my friend Jeff, so you ever heard that song? It's an old song. It's like, you got to keep them separated.
No, wait, maybe. Keep going.
Oh, yeah. Are you talking back to me? You got to keep them separated.
Come out and play. Yes, yes.
I've heard that. Well, you're getting a tattoo now.

You're getting ink done.

Anyway,

my friend Jeff, he had like anger

issues or whatever, and he would just, he would

get angry. He would go in his room,

he would play that song, and he would just

beat the fuck punch holes all

in the walls of his room. That's all he would do? Just to that

song, you think? Yeah. That was the only one.

Oh, we could tell when he was mad, because in there you could hear the walls like not doing well and then here's what would happen though every year at christmas his parents would get his walls redone for him in the room he would fucking do it again yeah this was at his family home yeah his family home and then i saw this band one time in vegas and i told the lead singer they're like this is the lead singer of offspring and i was like bro, bro, you are never gonna fucking believe this and they died laughing. It was pretty awesome.
Before you go, love life, what's, is it, is it harder to date as you get more popular? Yeah, no, I think I'm just, it's hard when you're busy, you know, and when you're touring a lot, I think. Oh, yeah.
But, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, it's hard to build something because you're kind of on the go and your career, like, it almost has to come first sometimes.
It has to come first. Right.
Yeah. I mean, what do you do? My career is just like, I've worked so hard that my career takes first place.
It's got to. Most of the time, even if I don't want it to.
It's like, I have to do this tomorrow. do this it's like um i'd love to a lot of times it'd be like yeah look i would like to do that but i just can't right now you know but then you start to think oh well then like yeah at some point there'll be times where i don't have to tour as much and and then maybe i could try to devote more attention to it because it takes attention too to takes attention and it takes like care i think yeah but fuck i mean but do you ever see yourself i mean at some point i'm sure but is there ever going to be a point where you're not touring though it's a good question and then you bring your family on tour and then they got to help out yeah and your wife's selling merch or whatever and calling you an asshole at night.

You know, outside of a fucking

WAP house or something somewhere and you're like,

I am an asshole. That's what you think?

I mean, I think you gotta, you know, hope for the best.

You know, I think so.

Dirty, that's the new

single that's available now with

Teddy Swims. With Teddy Swims.
