were you a ladies man when you were young or not absolutely not really no
absolutely not
do you remember like the first time you felt like a girl was like interested in
you no
yeah i was already had like a million bucks by that time
and i was like oh no this is how this works did you really feel that no yeah
man i remember like
i got stood up at homecoming like i i these all my crushes like you know it
never it never worked
out for me really but that i think that worked out for me in the long run right
you know because
you could be a kid trying to get some cooch but i was in my room um playing the
get tooch like i'll
show yes i'll get you one of these days i'll show you and then the money came
and it was awesome yeah
you know that is funny this works it is kind of funny some of that is how it
works it's like yeah
if you don't feel some ambiance from women or if you don't feel like seen maybe
in the world
or something sure then you uh you're like well i have to make myself be seen
more
you know sure yeah you create more and that comes i guess like it's kind of a
weird way
of like oh i want to express myself more because so i become more introverted
learning how to do that
you know what i mean like so tell me a little bit more i'm hearing you but tell
me more so like i
wanted to make music right but the only way to make music is like to do it and
so i just sat in my room
with audacity and played the guitar and wrote songs and it's like i want people
to hear my music but
the way i do that is learn as much as i can by myself in my room and then
present not talk exactly
you know what i mean it's it's an interesting thing like taking the time to
learn a skill or become an
outlier i guess why you probably got 10 000 hours behind it but um you know it's
an interesting thing
yeah i think that's something that part of people don't maybe i don't know if
they don't realize it
but yeah there's a lot that goes into um being good at something yes sir you
know or you could just be
naturally talented right which those dudes yeah you know oh dude if i saw six
of those dudes dude
i'd beat them all i'd beat all six of them that's what i did what if they're
naturally talented at
fighting oh god that's gonna be a long even worse even worse did you feel like
as you got more famous
that part of you like changed or disappeared or um because when did you start
to get popular at or
let's just say popular because fame is a weird word yeah you know um what
things happened to you did
you notice anything did some of it feel bad yeah man i mean i me goes had a
song called i'd rather be
rich than famous makes a lot of sense it's just especially whenever it's you're
coming like the
whole music world so young um it's super easy to just be a up kid you know what
i mean and not know
what the fuck is going on and it was hard and that's ever since then i've moved
to utah i got rid of my
social media um i keep way more to myself i don't really go out anymore um i
just like and you know for
a long time i was very sad and i find myself now getting back into what is fun
to me and what i love
doing been a lot of riding a lot of time in the fucking woods i just got a
really awesome piece
of property where i can just sit and fish and be to myself and i i wondered for
the longest time
why i was so sad and it was just because i wasn't able to do what i like to do
in my current circumstance
and i think it's important for anyone who's doing anything to be able to get
out and take some time
for yourself and for the longest time i didn't do that you know it was just
head down and go go go
um but now taking this time to really just do what i like to do um because i'm
and i have a daughter i guess she's cool she's fine so that helped yeah but you
really mean that what
you're saying yeah absolutely man and i think it's important for everyone i
struggle like i just keep
feeling like i need to do more to prove like i don't know what i'm trying to
prove things to sometimes
yes sir it's like there's this constant like i've had it since i think i was a
kid you know like i'm
not enough and i just i don't know if it's i'm not enough that's not the
feeling the feeling is like i
need to keep i need what else can i do what's the next i just i have like i
have to do more but it's
like what am i trying to appease am i trying that's the thing i struggle with
sometimes sure um and i
think in the end later on i i've realized i think as an adult it's just this
endless feeling of like
oh i'm not enough i have to constantly prove myself yes sir to you like and and
and and if i
proved myself to you yesterday that's not enough that's not enough i have to
prove myself again to you
today and i think it's just this i don't know how that magnet started that
keeps pulling that energy
out of me you know you i think people have the natural inclination to want to
be great you know
and it's like even with music with me i can only speak on my behalf i can't
speak on your world at all
but whenever i make a record i'm already writing new songs like i'm like i've
already done these songs i
want to see what i can do next i want to see what i can make next you know what
i mean it's always like
you want to create and we get caught up in this kind of deal where it's just
like um it's just like i
said everything is so fast yeah now it is and like you said i proved myself to
you yesterday why do i
got to prove myself to you today and it's nothing is certain and we just want
to be great i think humans
inherently want to be great and be accepted and let me ask you this what do you
like to do what do you
like to do when you're not working you know honestly i like to go fishing man
yeah i like to talk to my
brother um i like to think about my friends i like to pray for my friends and
people um maybe you go be
a minister like a volunteer minister i was thinking about signing up for the
fire department okay hold on
i agree you're still getting people out of fire but a little different than
volunteer ministry okay
pulling people out of hades and pulling people out of a somebody somebody
somebody set off a space
heater in a well no you know in a hampton inn it's a little bit different okay
but i feel you
you understand what i'm saying 100 brother praise god baby i think people find
so much joy through you
you know does that feel like a lot of pressure because everybody loves you you
know not necessarily
true that's true you're right maybe that's a weird question man i'm sorry to
say that's kind of weird
what's that um no not at all that dude i think people appreciate and can relate
to uh being yourself
and that's like that's what everyone wants to do it's hard for us it is hard it's
terrible now
you know it's like there's so many societal pressures i don't know and then
with the with the
pickup of social media and how it just moves at a hundred miles a minute we
talked about this a
little bit earlier but it's just a hundred miles a minute and you can't like
you don't have time to
even if you this is who you are you're gonna i feel the pressure to go with the
next thing you know
what i mean it's like i that's why i feel bad like there's some of these kids
that are just
you know super immersed in social media and because it's a crazy fucking place
Thank you.
