the Joe Rogan experience. I don't know about your 20s. I don't know what you
did in your 20s,
but my 20s have been like this crazy roller coaster that have just like, it
hasn't stopped.
And I'm like, holy shit, this is what they meant by the 20s. Yeah. Psychotic. I
mean,
you're just over being 10. Yeah, literally. You were 10 17 years ago. And you
feel like you know
everything, man, when you're 22 and 23. It's so scary. Of course. Decisions and
shit you make,
it's crazy. You got into making music. Well, I say you were successful making
music while you were
still in the military, right? Yes. How old were you? 22 when I started. Wow. I
started putting videos
on Twitter and it was psychotic. It was crazy because I did it for like, I get
all these messages
all the time from people who are like, hey man, I was around when you released
Head and South. I've
been here from the beginning. And I'm like, wow. Really? The very beginning,
you know? And
I started putting videos on Twitter back in like 2017. And then I just kept
doing it and doing it
and doing it. Cause I was in the Navy. I had a lot of shit going on. I had like,
I didn't believe in therapy cause that's crazy in the Navy, you know? And I
started just making
music and I started posting them on Twitter and people, I'd get like five or
six likes and I
didn't care. It was nice. It was nice to go home. It was nice to go home and
feel the way I did
and write and put music on Twitter. I don't know. It was kind of my validation
in the world of
I can write a song at least. Right. And then man, one, I was, I was training in
Florida and
one day I put like four or five videos up and they just went like crazy viral.
And I was like,
cool, neat. And then my life just kept going up and up and up. And I was like,
at that time,
did you have any, what were your, your aspirations about recording? No, I didn't
even know what it was.
That's why all my beginning records are shitty. They're not shitty, but see
when I recorded
this, when I recorded this, I was about to like go inside. I was like, whatever.
I'll just throw
this on the internet. And it was like an iPhone. Uh huh. And it was like the
number one voted Reddit
video in the entire like world. I think, I don't know, but I was like getting
calls from people. I'm
like, what the hell's going on? Everyone at work's like, you're going viral. I
was like, what? And we're
like literally like learning how to load missiles and shit. I'm like, cool,
sick, man. And, uh,
it's, it's been crazy. And I never, I never in my life envisioned being a
musician ever.
Period. No, I thought I was going to, my old man was in the Navy for 25 years.
He was a master chief.
My mom was in the Navy. My grandpa was in the Navy both. Yeah. Just that, that
like whatever. And I
was like, I'm going to be in the Navy till the day I die probably until I
retire at least. And that was
it. That was going to be my life. And I was thinking about it yesterday, how
crazy my reality
is now. Like coming back to Oklahoma and being around people and people like
coming to get me
in diners and being like, take a picture of me. I'm like, what is going on, man?
There's like 700
people hating me online. I'm like, bro, I didn't fucking mean to do this. I don't,
I'm sorry. It's
crazy. Wow. I just kept going. It's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. Yeah. It is a
crazy story,
right? It is. Yeah. And being in the Navy for like nine years beforehand is
even crazy. Cause
no one ever talks about that. I'm like, bro, I busted my ass, man. I was, I was
like in Africa
and fucking Bahrain and stuff. And I was like, what'd you do in Africa and Bahrain?
I was a,
this is a, this is a crazy story in itself, but I won't tell the whole thing.
Tell the whole
thing. Shit. Okay. So I'm open a second Bud Light and let's go. Like I said
about my dad,
he was in the Navy for like 25 years. So I was, uh, Hey, man, look at you. Hey,
man. Uh,
dork, bro. I've always loved dress blues though. That is sick. Uh, you ever
heard that song dress
blues by Isabel? No. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. But, um, my dad was in the
Navy for like 25 years
and my mom was in the Navy. Like I said earlier, my grandpa was in the Navy.
And so growing up when I
was like 14 years old, I was like, man, I'm going to be in the Navy. That's all
I want to do.
I want to like die for this country, man. It's best country in the world. I
want to be in it. I want
to experience that whole like empire state building thing where you're like,
you're devoted to
something. Yeah. And so I turned 17 and my dad was a recruiter in Oklahoma and
I was like, okay,
cool. So he like helped me get recruited and I was supposed to go in the Navy
as a diver,
but shit fell through. My dad was like, it'll be fine. You'll get to bootcamp
and they'll ask you
if you want to be a diver. And then you can just say yes and it'll be fine. So
I was like, okay,
sick. It was like, get on a fucking bus. And I'm like, let's do this. And I was
nervous. I was
scared, man. I was terrified. Cause as like a kid, you don't really know what
to expect in the
military. And, um, I like end up at bootcamp, which is crazy. And I was
terrified. And then I
realized it was all just kind of routine and stuff like that. And I got out of
bootcamp.
Actually, no, that's not the whole story. I was trying to be a diver. And, and,
uh, one day they
were like, Hey, you're going to get to, you're going to get to reclass what you're
doing. And they
gave me like two options. And it was like, be a master at arms, which is like a
cop in the military
or be a aviation ordinance man, which is like the dudes who like load the bombs
and things
on planes. And I was pissed at my dad. I was like, what the hell, man? I
thought you said
I was going to get to be a diver. I called him. I'm like, dude, you suck, man.
And so my
buddies were all AOs, which in the Navy, they're all fucking made fun of
because they're all
like big old dumb idiots. And then I became an AO and I went to a school to be
an AO. And
it was amazing, man. I met some of those beautiful people I've ever met. I've
learned more than
I've ever learned. But while I got stationed in Nebraska and, and I hate, I
hate this. I'm
not going to, I'm not going to oversell this cause I don't want to sound tough,
but I trained
to be a seal for like two years with this guy named senior chief Lundquist that,
uh, Omaha,
Nebraska. And, uh, I trained really, really hard. I took a bunch of these PSTs
and I would
call my mom like every day. She would ask me how far I ran, how far I swam, how,
how many,
like how much I lifted and shit. And then, uh, I don't take it lightly either.
I'd never,
I'm not tough. It never happened, but I wanted to go to buds really bad. Cause
like I said,
I wanted to do something that was a greater than myself. And then the day, the
day my package
came back for the seal, the buds thing, my mom had died and I was like, well,
fuck man,
this sucks. This is crazy. And all the while I was in AO and I hated, I hated
it. I was like,
oh shit, now I gotta be an ordinance man. And, um, when she passed away, I was
like,
man, I don't want to do that. I don't want to, I don't really want to pursue
that. So I
bitched out for sure. And I wish I wouldn't have sometimes, but like life is
crazy. And my chief,
my chief who's like high ranking, he looked at me and he was like, man, you
want to go out there
and die or something? Why do you want to do this so bad? And I was like, I
guess you're right. And
it's one of those stories in my life where I kind of, I look back and I'm like,
man,
things would have been different. What would have happened? But, uh, she passed
away. And then I
moved to Washington to be an ordinance man. And then as soon as I fucking
landed in Washington,
they sent me, they sent me to the desert, this Bahraini desert to like learn
how to like build
missiles and load missiles. It's crazy. And it was sick, man. It was beautiful.
So, uh, and I was,
you had to build missiles as in like load them or as in like disassemble and reassemble?
And this is, this is different from EOD. There's explosive ordinance disposal.
And then there's
AOs, which AOs are kind of just like the little tiny baby cousin of not even,
they're not even
connected. EOD, there's some bad-ass guys. AOs are just the dude to build, load,
arm and de-arm
the bombs that are on the planes that are taken off.
Just, but just build bombs. No big deal. Yeah. It's cool, man. It's neat. And,
uh, but fucking
it's crazy. So I was in the desert, man. I was fucking like 19 years old. Like,
Oh shit. Okay. I'm
here. And, uh, I was like, I was a sand sailor for sure. I never, I never like,
uh, was on a ship.
And so that was my first deployment and I fell in love with it. I wanted to do
it like always. I was
like, this amazing. I had this really great gunner. Gunner's like your, your
officer above you.
And he just inspired me so much to be the best that I could be like every day.
So I'd go into
work and be, dude, I was a fucking kiss ass. Like in the Navy, everyone hated
me. Cause I was like,
let's do it. Let's go to war, man. Let's go. And we were just doing simple shit,
like eating dinner,
you know? And, uh, but I, I fell in love with it and I wanted to do it forever.
And so we would
like launch planes out and like do the keys and shit to arm the missiles that
took off and things like
that. And, uh, I forgot what your name question was. I'm so sorry. Like at the
very beginning.
I don't remember what the exact question was either. Oh yeah. Just being in the
Navy in general.
And, uh, what was, what were we talking about? We were talking about something
in specific,
you know, specific story. Exactly. And then I said, I didn't want to tell the
whole story.
God damn it. Oh, I was just saying that I was in for like nine, I was in for
like nine years and
no one ever talks about that shit now. And I was like, but, and then I went to
Djibouti, Africa,
which was crazy. That's right. I asked you about Africa. And I want to ask you,
about Bahrain. Yeah. That's, that's what started it. Yeah. And then, uh, I was
in Africa for like,
dude, I've been in Africa for like a year of my life. I was deployed there
twice. And it's like,
I loved every second of it. Cause I'd wake up at 5 AM, 5 AM every morning and
like go eat breakfast,
go like load your plane, go eat lunch. What part of Africa were you in? Djibouti.
And where's that? The horn. It's like right on the edge, either top or I'm
going to sound like an
idiot. Was there a lot of wildlife? No, we were stuck on the base. Oh, the
whole time. You can't
even go off the base. It's crazy. It's called Camp Lumineer. Yeah. And it's,
but it's cool though.
Cause there's like eight gyms, man. And like food, that's all you do. And you're
as happy as,
you're happy as fuck. Cause it's so simple. That is wild. And you just, you
just go to breakfast,
work out, go do your job, work out. That's what it looks like there. No way.
Not where you were probably. Yeah, man. A little shittier where we were, man.
It's cool.
And so you're just on the base and that's it. Yeah. And then every, every more,
like whether
there's like cluster bombs or whatever, you'd like go, you'd go assemble them
or load them and shit.
And it was, it was really crazy. Yeah. And then, like I said, one day I just
like ended up like,
it was overnight. One day I just went to fucking Jacksonville, Florida and was
playing my guitar
on Twitter and it's like blew up. And then my chief was like, Hey man, this is
crazy. You got to
fucking, this is a, this is a conflict of interest, man. You can't cause I was
famous. Yeah. I was
like, I think they were scared that I would show up to work and just be like,
fuck you guys, man.
I don't need this. You know, it never happened. I would never do that. Cause I
was so
devoted to being in the Navy, but they thought you, they were losing all power
over.
Exactly. Which is crazy to think about, man. And I had this fucking, my, uh, my
gunner one
day comes up to me and he's like, Hey man, this is getting crazy. You got to
get out of
the Navy. I'm like, okay, whatever. Uh, do I have to? And he's like, yeah. And
I was
like, I'd rather not. And he's like, okay, too bad. And then he was like, okay,
you'll
be out of the Navy next week. And I'm like, that's crazy. All right. Been doing
this for
eight years now. And then it took eight months to process me out of the Navy.
And it was crazy.
Cause every day I would go into work and think like, oh, this is my last day in
the Navy.
Cool. For eight months. This is my last day. You got to work as hard as you
possibly can,
man. Make it count, make it count, make it count. And every day I'd go in and
just bust
my ass. And then dude finally, like six months in, I'm like, I'm in the fucking
Navy forever,
man. Sounds good. Jesus Christ. Why is that? Is that just standard for
paperwork? It's never
happened. It's never like, I think don't quote me, but like Elvis Presley was
the last guy
who got like honorably discharged out to make music. And I'm not, I'm not like
being arrogant
in that either. I think that's true. And it just never happens like that. There's
been a
lot of stuff with like NFL players who are like at the academy, the Naval
Academy who
like are really good at football and getting drafted to the NFL. They have to
like get
transferred out and stuff like that. But it's never happened. Like some Joe
shit, the rag
man, AO like me. And that's when I knew it. When my gunner called me that day
and he's
like, pack your bags. I was like, holy, oh, this is that serious. I called my
dad. I thought
he was going to be disappointed because he was a master chief and stuff. And I
was supposed
to be a master chief. My dad had like a bottle of whiskey when I was a kid.
That said master chief Brian on it for me when I made master chief. Wow. I
thought when
I called my dad, he'd be disappointed, but he was like, Hey man, come home, do
it. And
I thought it would flop. I thought it, I thought it'd be nothing in the year.
You were already successful online. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. But I still, I
still, I never
like played a show or anything. And then we went like, I got it.
Do you remember your first one?
Oh yeah. What was it? It was, uh, the pageant in St. Louis, Missouri.
How many people there wasn't the very first one. This is unfair to say, like my
best friends
in Washington when I was in the Navy, I used to play at this place called, uh,
I used to
play like shitty acoustic sets at this place called, um, off the hook where
like all the
sailors went like on the weekends and shit. They had like, and my best friends,
Austin and Kramer,
they used to come to the bar and watch me, these two fucking dudes looking at
me play.
And every time I'd finish a song, they'd clap for me, man. Cause they're, they're
real friends,
you know? And that was like the very first show I ever played, but the pageant
in St. Louis,
I got out of the Navy and, um, here's what's weird for me because musicians
have a, I'm talking
way too much. I apologize.
No, you're not at all.
Musicians have usually a pipeline, which drives me crazy. I don't know why, but
they have a pipeline
of like, oh man, I played small bars and then I played bigger, small bars and
then I played
the bigger, bigger, small bars. Then I went to medium venues and then I went to
bigger, medium
venues and they have this like thing where they, they're proud of it, of course,
which I would
be too. That's a journey. But when I got out of the Navy, I was already like
there. So I like
hopped on a fucking tour bus. So like, Hey, you're going to the pageant in St.
Louis play.
Wow. How many people is that?
I think 2,000, 2,500.
Wow.
Which was crazy for me. Cause I never played a shit and people blame me a lot
for this.
Like they, they get mad at me and I'm like, bro, I didn't fucking do this. I
didn't mean
for this to happen.
And why are they mad at you?
Exactly. I agree. And it freaks me out too. And I just like, I wish I could
just, uh,
I wish I could just like talk to people and be like, Hey man.

That's why all my beginning records are shitty. They're not shitty, but see
when I recorded

calls from people. I'm
like, what the hell's going on? Everyone at work's like, you're going viral. I
was like, what? And we're
like literally like learning how to load missiles and shit. I'm like, cool,
sick, man. And, uh,
it's, it's been crazy. And I never, I never in my life envisioned being a
musician ever.
Period. No, I thought I was going to, my old man was in the Navy for 25 years.
He was a master chief.
My mom was in the Navy. My grandpa was in the Navy both. Yeah. Just that, that
like whatever. And I
was like, I'm going to be in the Navy till the day I die probably until I

it. That was going to be my life. And I was thinking about it yesterday, how
crazy my reality
is now. Like coming back to Oklahoma and being around people and people like
coming to get me
in diners and being like, take a picture of me. I'm like, what is going on, man?
There's like 700
people hating me online. I'm like, bro, I didn't fucking mean to do this. I don't,
I'm sorry. It's
crazy. Wow. I just kept going. It's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. Yeah. It is a
crazy story,
right? It is. Yeah. And being in the Navy for like nine years beforehand is
even crazy. Cause
no one ever talks about that. I'm like, bro, I busted my ass, man. I was, I was
like in Africa
and fucking Bahrain and stuff. And I was like, what'd you do in Africa and Bahrain?
I was a,
this is a, this is a crazy story in itself, but I won't tell the whole thing.
Tell the whole
thing. Shit. Okay. So I'm open a second Bud Light and let's go. Like I said
about my dad,
he was in the Navy for like 25 years. So I was, uh, Hey, man, look at you. Hey,
man. Uh,
dork, bro. I've always loved dress blues though. That is sick. Uh, you ever
heard that song dress
blues by Isabel? No. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. But, um, my dad was in the
Navy for like 25 years
and my mom was in the Navy. Like I said earlier, my grandpa was in the Navy.
And so growing up when I
was like 14 years old, I was like, man, I'm going to be in the Navy. That's all
I want to do.
I want to like die for this country, man. It's best country in the world. I
want to be in it. I want
to experience that whole like empire state building thing where you're like,
you're devoted to
something. Yeah. And so I turned 17 and my dad was a recruiter in Oklahoma and
I was like, okay,
cool. So he like helped me get recruited and I was supposed to go in the Navy
as a diver,
but shit fell through. My dad was like, it'll be fine. You'll get to bootcamp
and they'll ask you
if you want to be a diver. And then you can just say yes and it'll be fine. So
I was like, okay,
sick. It was like, get on a fucking bus. And I'm like, let's do this. And I was
nervous. I was
scared, man. I was terrified. Cause as like a kid, you don't really know what

terrified. And then I
realized it was all just kind of routine and stuff like that. And I got out of
bootcamp.
Actually, no, that's not the whole story. I was trying to be a diver. And, and,
uh, one day they
were like, Hey, you're going to get to, you're going to get to reclass what you're

or be a aviation ordinance man, which is like the dudes who like load the bombs
and things
on planes. And I was pissed at my dad. I was like, what the hell, man? I
thought you said
I was going to get to be a diver. I called him. I'm like, dude, you suck, man.
And so my
buddies were all AOs, which in the Navy, they're all fucking made fun of
because they're all
like big old dumb idiots. And then I became an AO and I went to a school to be
an AO. And
it was amazing, man. I met some of those beautiful people I've ever met. I've
learned more than
I've ever learned. But while I got stationed in Nebraska and, and I hate, I
hate this. I'm
not going to, I'm not going to oversell this cause I don't want to sound tough,
but I trained
to be a seal for like two years with this guy named senior chief Lundquist that,
uh, Omaha,
Nebraska. And, uh, I trained really, really hard. I took a bunch of these PSTs
and I would
call my mom like every day. She would ask me how far I ran, how far I swam, how,
how many,
like how much I lifted and shit. And then, uh, I don't take it lightly either.
I'd never,
I'm not tough. It never happened, but I wanted to go to buds really bad. Cause
like I said,
I wanted to do something that was a greater than myself. And then the day, the
day my package
came back for the seal, the buds thing, my mom had died and I was like, well,
fuck man,
this sucks. This is crazy. And all the while I was in AO and I hated, I hated
it. I was like,
oh shit, now I gotta be an ordinance man. And, um, when she passed away, I was
like,
man, I don't want to do that. I don't want to, I don't really want to pursue
that. So I
bitched out for sure. And I wish I wouldn't have sometimes, but like life is
crazy. And my chief,
my chief who's like high ranking, he looked at me and he was like, man, you
want to go out there
and die or something? Why do you want to do this so bad? And I was like, I
guess you're right. And
it's one of those stories in my life where I kind of, I look back and I'm like,
man,
things would have been different. What would have happened? But, uh, she passed
away. And then I
moved to Washington to be an ordinance man. And then as soon as I fucking
landed in Washington,
they sent me, they sent me to the desert, this Bahraini desert to like learn
how to like build
missiles and load missiles. It's crazy. And it was sick, man. It was beautiful.
So, uh, and I was,
you had to build missiles as in like load them or as in like disassemble and reassemble?
And this is, this is different from EOD. There's explosive ordinance disposal.
And then there's
AOs, which AOs are kind of just like the little tiny baby cousin of not even,

arm and de-arm
the bombs that are on the planes that are taken off.
Just, but just build bombs. No big deal. Yeah. It's cool, man. It's neat. And,
uh, but fucking
it's crazy. So I was in the desert, man. I was fucking like 19 years old. Like,
Oh shit. Okay. I'm
here. And, uh, I was like, I was a sand sailor for sure. I never, I never like,
uh, was on a ship.
And so that was my first deployment and I fell in love with it. I wanted to do
it like always. I was
like, this amazing. I had this really great gunner. Gunner's like your, your
officer above you.
And he just inspired me so much to be the best that I could be like every day.
So I'd go into
work and be, dude, I was a fucking kiss ass. Like in the Navy, everyone hated

let's do it. Let's go to war, man. Let's go. And we were just doing simple shit,
like eating dinner,
you know? And, uh, but I, I fell in love with it and I wanted to do it forever.
And so we would
like launch planes out and like do the keys and shit to arm the missiles that
took off and things like
that. And, uh, I forgot what your name question was. I'm so sorry. Like at the
very beginning.
I don't remember what the exact question was either. Oh yeah. Just being in the
Navy in general.
And, uh, what was, what were we talking about? We were talking about something
in specific,
you know, specific story. Exactly. And then I said, I didn't want to tell the
whole story.
God damn it. Oh, I was just saying that I was in for like nine, I was in for
like nine years and
no one ever talks about that shit now. And I was like, but, and then I went to
Djibouti, Africa,
which was crazy. That's right. I asked you about Africa. And I want to ask you,
about Bahrain. Yeah. That's, that's what started it. Yeah. And then, uh, I was
in Africa for like,
dude, I've been in Africa for like a year of my life. I was deployed there
twice. And it's like,
I loved every second of it. Cause I'd wake up at 5 AM, 5 AM every morning and
like go eat breakfast,
go like load your plane, go eat lunch. What part of Africa were you in? Djibouti.
And where's that? The horn. It's like right on the edge, either top or I'm

just go to breakfast,
work out, go do your job, work out. That's what it looks like there. No way.
Not where you were probably. Yeah, man. A little shittier where we were, man.
It's cool.
And so you're just on the base and that's it. Yeah. And then every, every more,
like whether
there's like cluster bombs or whatever, you'd like go, you'd go assemble them
or load them and shit.
And it was, it was really crazy. Yeah. And then, like I said, one day I just
like ended up like,
it was overnight. One day I just went to fucking Jacksonville, Florida and was
playing my guitar
on Twitter and it's like blew up. And then my chief was like, Hey man, this is
crazy. You got to
fucking, this is a, this is a conflict of interest, man. You can't cause I was
famous. Yeah. I was
like, I think they were scared that I would show up to work and just be like,
fuck you guys, man.
I don't need this. You know, it never happened. I would never do that. Cause I
was so
devoted to being in the Navy, but they thought you, they were losing all power
