Like I get it. You think I'm a jerk or I think you're stupid or whatever it is, you know, let's just have the conversation.

00:14
Welcome to another episode of Chewing the Fat. I'm your host, Big Robb. Thank you so much for following, downloading, listening to the episode. I certainly do appreciate that. I also wanna say thanks to Leonard for buying me a coffee at chewingthefatbr.com. I appreciate your support, my friend. I am so excited about my guest for today. We've been trying to get together for a little while because he moved out of town. But you may remember this voice. Please welcome Sean Cash.

00:44
Wow. What an intro. That was sick. Okay. First of all, I've listened to several of these episodes, Robb. How do you get people to just send you money? I need like, I gotta get that figured out. I just ask you literally heard how I do that. You literally just heard how I do that. I wish I liked coffee, but I'll have to like, maybe buy me like a double cheese or something. I'll figure it out. Go buy me pizza. Buy me a grilled cheese. Buy me a burger. There you go.

01:12
Sean, welcome man. You are in- Dude, thanks. You're in Nashville now, right? Yeah, we're here in Music City. This is it, Nashville, Tennessee. It's been about, it's crazy. This is almost a year. When was this? June? So I don't know when this will air, but yeah, coming up on about a year here in Nashville now. That's awesome. So how are you finding that? Just background, Sean, if you don't-

01:40
recognize his dulcet tones was part of the morning show on a country station here in Augusta. And I was I was doing some fill in and overnight or weekend or afternoon or whatever it was, I was kind of doing whatever they asked me to there. So that's kind of where we we get it over at Beasley and just during the

02:06
pandemic, you decided to move to a whole new town, huh? Well, well, there was a bunch of stuff that happened in between. Well, first of all, Rob, you were, um, I remember the first time I met you, we had lunch at, um, grouchos and we were all getting together and getting some new headshots done. You know, uh, do you remember doing this? Yeah.

02:35
It was like really early 2019. I think it was like January of 2019. Anyway, I just wanted to say, before we got into everything else, like you were so kind to me and you were so welcoming of me, and everybody was, but like you, I don't know, I didn't know you from anybody and you were really sweet to me and had been throughout my whole tenure there. So I very much appreciate that because sometimes that's not the case, you know, when you go to a new place and.

03:00
there's air talent and then there's new air talent. Like there could be some, you know, fitting matches and that wasn't the case with you. And I really, and I really appreciate that. Well, you're kind of for saying that I, the life's too short to be mean to people. I think so. You know? Yeah. So we moved. I mean, here's the, we, we didn't just be like, Hey, um, you know, during a worldwide global pandemic, let's, uh, let's move, you know, like,

03:29
wasn't really the case, but you know, Rob, it was just like one of those things though, man, like you've been around this business long enough and I know that you've had Cliff on and John Patrick on and I think they kind of talk about this in spots too, but like sometimes these opportunities that present themselves, you can't say no to. And especially being a newish dad and you know, with a really young family, like sometimes-

03:57
No matter how much you love a place or you want to be in a place, you love the people that you're with. You'd be foolish to say no to something like this here in Nashville to host my own morning show here. It's the dream come true, you know? Yeah. Especially if you're in country music. I mean, yeah, that's, that's Mecca. Nashville is, is the heart of country music. You want to know something that's funny? I don't even work in country music anymore.

04:23
Yeah, dude, I'm out. I'm out. I am. I work. No, no, it's great. It really is. I still love country music. They're going to be wrong. And believe me, I'm inundated with it. So here, but I worked for a radio station called mix 92 nine. So now I'm playing like Bieber and like Kenny Loggins and Maroon five and Bon Jovi. It's a blast. I'm having a really good time. Oh, that's awesome, man. That's awesome. Yeah. But yeah, you're right. You know,

04:53
You've got to be, you know, if you're in radio, you kind of be kind of have part of a nomad about you because you got to go where the work is. You got to go with the opportunities. Yeah. Most of the time. Yeah. And it's like, the thing is we love Augusta so much. My better half, Mimi, like she's her, she works remotely now here in Nashville, but her company is in Augusta. You know, she works for Acasio and, um, you know, they have a big presence in Augusta and some of my best friends in the world are still in Augusta.

05:22
we're going to try to be back there as much as we can to be with those people. It had nothing to do with the town or really ultimately nothing to do with the powers of be that either at, uh, at kicks, like we had a good time. We had some success and we had, uh, we had some good, we said, we had a good almost three years together. But again, like when something like this happens, like you got a role, right? I mean, you got to. Yeah. And I mean, that's, that's, and that's always one of those hard things. Like you say, you know, it's, um,

05:52
Nashville, what do you, and this is one of those things that are important to people in radio. What market size is Nashville? So it's grown. It's actually in the top 35 now into Nielsen. So Augusta's around like what, 110 or so, 113? Yeah, like floating around between like anywhere between like 109 and 112. Market size, I've always been like...

06:18
kind of turn my nose up at market size, right? Because just because you're, you're, you're moving up in a market size or moving down in a market size, a lot of the times it means nothing, right? Like the money can still be fantastic in a lower market. The money can be crap in a larger market. It can be garbage in a big market. Um, but like I've always tried to not let that be the reason why we did something as a family, you know,

06:46
or the reason why I took advantage of an opportunity. I say all that with this case being like, okay, we're jumping up 75 market sizes. Like, yeah, all right, you gotta do this one, right? I know. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So what's, had you had any experience with Nashville prior? Before coming to Augusta, where were you at?

07:13
Okay, so I have kind of bounced my way down through the southeast since leaving my hometown in southeast Michigan. Almost eight years ago now I left and I went from there to Raleigh, North Carolina where Mimi and I met and I did mid days and I was the APD and imaging director for a country station in Raleigh and I was there three years, a little over three years.

07:41
Mimi had gotten an opportunity to go, she had worked in, I'm doing this all backwards, but she was, she got an opportunity to work in Charlotte for Beasley and took that opportunity, had to, right? Such a good opportunity. But in our relationship, we weren't trying to be in Raleigh and in Charlotte and Charlotte and in Raleigh. And so I bailed on the Raleigh thing and worked briefly in Greensboro, North Carolina.

08:10
and then read traffic reports in Charlotte for Total Traffic Network. And I felt a little underutilized. And I know your podcast has a lot to do with mental health. And those were probably the hardest mental health years of my life. Trying to find my worth and trying to decide.

08:38
God, what am I gonna do? So much of your identity is wrapped up in what you do professionally. Oh, yeah. And that's good sometimes and that's bad sometimes. And I was really struggling with it. And the money was garbage and we were living in a really big town and we were renting a shitty little house and just checked all the crappy boxes, right? So I think for our own good, we were like, okay.

09:07
do something else. She was kind of frustrated with her situation as well, you know, having a hard time making headway and, um, this opportunity came up in Augusta and we were like, that's only two hours away from Charlotte. Like, I didn't even know what Augusta was besides a golf tournament that I watched on television every year. You know, I was like, people live there. Radio stations. What do they do there? Um,

09:34
And I went to visit and the rest of history, man, like it just made too much sense to get into what I was trying to do. And so anyway, very long answer there to your question. I was in Charlotte before I came to it. But I had had the experience in country radio and Nashville. I think that was your actual question. Like, you know, what did I have? I had probably visited Nashville 10, 11, 12 times just for, you know, personal reasons and then just for work.

10:04
and everything in between. We won a CMA award in Raleigh, so we came to accept it. So I had, it was weird because every time we visited, we were like, who the hell lives in Nashville? Like, I mean, obviously it's one of the biggest cities in America, but like, how do people do this? It's chaos around here. Like, how do people live? It's so expensive, all this blah, blah, blah, blah.

10:27
And now we are those people. So it's very strange. Yeah. I, it's a, and, and, you know, it's a great town. Uh, when I, uh, produced morning radio in Birmingham, uh, in the country station there, I mean, we were only two and a half hours away from Nashville. So, I mean, it was just like a straight shot. We'd, we were there all the time. And then of course we'd go for the CMAs and we'd go for, you know, you know, have people.

10:49
down every Friday because they'd come down to do the morning show and things like that. And but you're right when you're there and you're in that town it's like I mean obviously stuff happens during the day. I couldn't tell you what it is it happens during the day because all of the stuff happens at night in Nashville and that is just wild. That is just especially like down Broadway and all that. It's just that's easy. I feel like that would be easy to get wrapped up into

11:19
and over indulge and overdo Broadway very easily. I won't lie, you're absolutely right. And when you come to visit here, when you're a tourist, you don't go to some of the places that we now love and only go to Broadway when we have friends in town or family or if there's a work obligation there or something but when Broadway is your only point of reference,

11:49
And if people don't have any idea what we're talking about, it's several miles of just chaos. It's the most fun you could possibly have. And also if done the wrong way, you could be absolutely miserable. You know? Oh, yeah, yeah. You squeeze 50,000 people into two square miles. Right.

12:11
Yeah, it's very much like if anybody's ever been to New Orleans and done, you know, Bourbon Street, it's kind of the same thing, but with country music instead of New Orleans jazz. Yeah. Tonky Tonks everywhere. But you know, when we moved, it was, that was our point of reference, right? Like the more times we had come or the more times we had done things with, um, some record label friends of ours or whatever, like they would maybe take us, you know, two blocks left.

12:39
and it would be like, wow, we're so cool. We know all the cool spots in Nashville. And now when we go, now we're like, oh my God, this is just right off Broadway. Like we don't, you know, we were a little nervous. Like we didn't know that we live in Donaldson here in a little east, maybe 15 minutes east of the city. And we really love it. And this is such a cool town, a lot like Augusta in the fact that I feel like people associate it with one thing.

13:08
And that's, it's not fair to the town or the people that love it because there's so many great things around it, you know, that people should definitely take the time to discover. Yeah. So what's the, so seeing as you're talking about those places to discover then, what's the, what's the, the now that you've been there a year, the, what's the spot someone needs to not miss if they come to

13:36
if they're heading to Nashville, but they want to, you know, have the, uh, have the locals experience. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Well, here's the thing. I'm only going to give you like two because I'm not trying to get these places packed. No, no, no, no. Right. You won't be able to get it. We don't want that. We don't want that. I mean, you know, I'm not big enough here to just like get my own table, Rob. Just saying the guts of baby. Come on, man. Um, look, there's the, there's, there's several things that I think people can do that I think.

14:04
will be a blast, especially if you have a family, right? Like it's tough to just walk around Broadway with a kid. You know, especially if they're under, you know, if they're not a teenager or whatever, go see some of the beautiful parks here, like they're in their downtown. So you can still get that vibe of country music and all that. You know, go to Centennial Park where the Parthenon is, go to Bicentennial Park where the War Memorial is and the Farmers Market and the beautiful

14:33
top of the hour. Such a great photo op, you know, with the Capitol building in the background. And again, you're still downtown. You know, if you are going to go with your buddies or whatever, and you are trying to throw a couple back and listen to some great tunes, you know, you can get off of Broadway and go to Midtown and you know, head out to where winners and losers is and there's a great place there now called Velvet Taco. I think it is a national chain, but I love it's delicious.

15:02
Um, there's a tailgate brewing over there. It's some of the best pizza in the city and some great local beers. Um, but, but there's, you know, if you have a rental card too, there's, there's places to get out, go to 12 South where you can do some great boutique shopping, my better half loves it over there, man. She's always buying something. Something. $90 scarf. Like, what are we doing?

15:26
But that's a fun area to explore too. And if you like history, there's so much here. There's the Bellmead plantation and Andrew Jackson's mansion is here where he grew up. So anyway, there's lots to do besides Broadway. I'm not knocking Broadway. It's a blast. It's some of the most fun you will ever have with your people. Do not get me wrong. But I have a rule now that we live there. You can go to Broadway between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. And then that's it.

15:56
We're going home. And the thing about downtown Nashville too, and I'm a larger fella, you know, and like this, man, it's so hilly. What the hell with Tennessee and these hills? Like it's crazy. Like you could be walking and be like, you know, let's hit Acme down by the river. It's beautiful over there. Let's get a picture. Okay, awesome. Well, we're at, you know, Fitson Broadway and you gotta walk all the way down there. I get there and it's like, that's it.

16:25
Well, you might take this picture because I'm going to die. He's like traveled up and down like 12 atmospheres just to get over. My God. Yeah. Yeah. It is a hundred degrees, you know, and all that. So I look, I say all that with, I hope people continue to come visit us. We've hosted a gazillion friends and family, it feels like so far. And we've had a great time. Yeah, that's awesome. That's awesome.

16:52
Yeah. And I'm sorry. I jumped right into like, you know, Nashville and what you're doing now and all, but like for, for you was, was radio always the, was that always the dream for you? Was that, uh, did you, were you one of those, Hey, you have a great voice kind of kids or? I don't know. No, I don't think so. I was in a lot like, you know, I was listening to y'all's episode with, with Cliff and it's, it's, it's funny how guys like us kind of all cut from the same cloth in a way, have a lot of the similar path.

17:22
how we ended up where we ended up. But I also was a theater kid, man. I started doing theater my freshman year of high school. And unlike y'all, my grades were terrible. And I mean, terrible. I think I graduated with a 2.1 GPA or some shit like that. I'm barely scraping by. And I knew

17:48
That was, it was going to be really hard for me. And I even knew at 16, 17, it was going to be really hard for me to like sit down at a desk every day and earn a living. Like that was going to be nearly impossible. I just didn't like being told what to do. I didn't. If I, if something doesn't interest me, it's really difficult for me to care about it and then apply myself to it. You know what I mean? So all I wanted to do was, was be on stage and act and host things. I wanted to be a musician. I played drums and sang and bands and stuff.

18:18
And I realized, okay, well, that's maybe not as easy to do as theater. So let me focus on theater. And my senior year, I was in a musical and I was in the regular stage show thing. And my theater teacher pulled me aside and was like, what are you gonna do after this? And I was like, well, I'm gonna go study theater at a university in Oakland County, Michigan called Oakland University.

18:47
And she was like, your grades are just dog butt. They thought you're not going to get in. Like you're not going to get into any school. I mean, like you got to start figuring that out. And I was like, Whoa, okay. Didn't think about it like that. Um, and she goes, let me tell you something. Forget, don't forget it, but like, think about broadcasting. You're really good reading, uh, things off of

19:15
cue cards and whatever it is and why don't you think about that before you start putting your eggs into this basket of being an actor. I was like, okay. And I didn't really know what that meant. So, I gravitated towards radio because, well, I look like this. And I can't see television. So, I did, I started volunteering at a community radio station when I was 17 years old.

19:43
And I've literally never done anything else after that. Um, so I was able to get my grades up and go to community college and end up getting into Oakland and they had a, excuse me, they had a, uh, they had a radio station there and I kind of, for the next four years, five years did that as my job and, um, I ran it. We won a bunch of awards. Sometimes, sometimes we got our butts kicked on some stuff. We did great airships. We did terrible airships. We did everything in between. And, um,

20:13
I haven't done anything since I haven't done anything else since I was 17 years old. Wow. And I hope I never have to. That's awesome. You know, I think there's something really important, uh, especially when you find something like that, that you're passionate about, if you can make that kind of promise to yourself, like you just did, you know, that, you know, this is what I want to do and you pursue that. You know what I mean? You try to keep that.

20:34
that promise to your younger self, like, all right, I'm not gonna have a job that I don't enjoy. That was the promise I made myself, was like, I'm not gonna work at something that I don't enjoy. So I never worked at a fast food restaurant. I always sought out opportunities to do something that at least I found some enjoyment in. I did have one other job, I won't lie. When I was like 15, I worked at Tubby's Submarine.

21:03
And I worked there for two days. They made you wear those plastic gloves when you get people subs ready, you know? And I had sweaty hands and I was always dropping stuff and everywhere. So, like, in the middle of the lunch rush, I was already terrible at this job. I couldn't do anything at it. And I remember dropping the I had made this big giant sub for this guy and it was like a long wait and he was already pissed and whatever and I dropped it on the floor.

21:32
war right in front of him. And the store manager was like, listen, kid, this, this just isn't working. And he fired me right in the middle of lunch rush that they would have rather been understaffed than have me, have me flat cold cuts on a 12 inch wheat bun. You know,

21:51
Well, you know, sometimes we need those signs from God that like, this is not for you. And sometimes it takes you getting fired for some place to reassure you of that type of thing. So a sandwich artist. I was not going to be. I, I sold cars one day. I had had a bag. No, no, no, no. I was just in training. I didn't even get to that. No, I was going to sell cars cause I'd had like

22:20
falling out with the PD at the station I was working at and was just mad and I was like, F this, I'm not gonna, cause it was one of those situations where we're like, oh, well we need you to come in early and do this and stay late and do that and also drive your own van to your remote and blah, blah, blah, blah. I was like, forget this, man. I called a friend who worked at a car dealership and I was like, man, I need something else. I gotta do something else. He's like, yeah man, come on, I got you. That's one thing we don't have a lack of in radio is friends that work at car dealerships.

22:48
And so I went in for the training and they put me in this little like closet room with a TV I mean it was very almost like clockwork orange ish You know and they played the video and the video literally was like burn all your bridges You won't be a good salesperson if you have a plan B You have to rely on the sales that come in to the lot to be able to do this job And if you can't do that, you're not gonna be a good sampler. I was like, yeah

23:16
I am not gonna not have a plan B. I'm sorry, this is not for me. So yeah. Also like what a way to, I mean the people that make a living doing it, like super kudos. I don't know how they do it. That's crazy. Yeah, it just was not for me. So as you're there, so what's next for you? What's the long game? What are you hoping to do? Honestly Rob, like.

23:45
I got to chill for a while, man. Like I got to, I got to be someplace for a while. And you know, that was another reason. Um, you know, I really don't have any problems saying this. This is, that was another reason. Like Augusta wasn't, that wasn't going to work out for our family. You know, I didn't see the financial fortitude that I needed. I have no idea where I just got fortitude. Wow. That was cool. Uh, I didn't see it. I didn't see it there.

24:15
You know, sometimes you just have a feeling and you know, when you're, you're, it's not that you're unhappy. It's not that you're, you know, pissed at anybody or whatever. That's not it. But like, you just know, like, okay, I'm going to reach a cap here. I'm going to reach a point here where this is all I'm going to be able to achieve here, not only financially, but professionally as well. Like,

24:41
we had a really good time doing the show that we did. And it was two different versions of it. We were a three person show for a little over a year, no longer than that, longer than that. There was a Brian, myself and Jenny, and then she left to do something else. And then it was just Brian and I. So there's kind of two different versions of the show there, but like we were pretty successful and we had the numbers to back that up in the market.

25:11
So like when you have that type of success and you get it and then you sustain it for a while, you're like, okay, okay, I know I can do this. Like I know I can do this at a high level and I wanna do it at a high level. And then when you get those numbers to sustain at a high level, you get financially compensated for it appropriately. And like, so I say all that because this is finally the situation where I think that I can sit and raise my.

25:40
family for a while and not have to, you know, be on the lookout or have to take a call from somewhere else to be like, okay, now let's think about this. But this is the, this is the place where I think I know that we can like chill for a bit and like put a decade into a market. Like how cool would that be? To make our home here. You know, we have a two year old dude and we're not, I'm not trying to.

26:10
I'm not trying to take her all over the place. I want her to have some familiarity. I know she's only two years old, but like, I want her to have a home. I want her to later in her life to come back to this place and be like, yeah, okay, this is, this is home. These are the memories that I have here. And families move, people move like that should happen. It's like, I get it. But the move was very stressful to get here. And, um, we just had.

26:37
zero interest in doing that again. And I love where I am. I love the people that I'm with and this company has been everything, but you know, I mean, they've been nothing but generous to me and they've given me everything that I could have hoped for. So it's time to chill for a while, man. I mean, if you would have asked me that two years ago, I would have a completely different answer. But, um, now right now it's time to, Nashville is home. That's awesome. That's awesome.

27:04
So outside of work and the family, uh, what else are you into? Uh, anything that's, uh, just brings you joy, man, I just shot 88 at a golf course the other day. And you would have thought I won the British open. Like I have been grinding here in national trying to work on the game, you know, trying to figure out why I can't hit out of the tee box, working on that putting stroke. Like that's

27:32
I've, I've, I've refell in love with golf living in Augusta. Like I had, I've always played golf since I was a teenager, took a long break. It's just, I don't know. I didn't have the right people to play with or whatever. I just kind of lost interest in it. And then, you know, re falling in love with the game over the last four years. It's been a blast, man. So, I mean, if you need me, if you can't get ahold of me here at the house or at work or whatever, I'm more than likely on a course somewhere and I'm not picking your call up.

27:59
I'm not. I'll hit you with a text when I get home.

28:09
Hey Sean, this is the second part of the show, the second segment. This is where we kind of dive a little bit deeper into you, talk a little bit more about mental health. You know, as I say, I think everybody has some form of, you know, anxiety, depression, whether you have it diagnosed or you don't know why, you just kind of feel like you don't want to work today or whatever it is. We all have those common experiences and I think being able to share those with each other really helps us to understand that we're not alone because...

28:38
that is one of the thieves of joy from depression is that it tells you you're alone and you're the only one that feels this way. So I love bringing this to light. So for you, how do you keep the darkness at bay? You know, man, like this will sound like the biggest, first of all, I love that you do this because I think that there is a stigma in this country that like you have to be this crazy person or this sad person or this violent person.

29:07
to have issues with your day to day and where you're at in your head space. And I think that's crazy. Everybody deals with this in different ways. And so I think that you bringing attention to this is super cool. And I think it should be a safe conversation like it is on this show instead of something that comes with like that grisly weird feeling, you know? Oh God, we got to talk about this.

29:34
like the more open we can have conversations like we're about to have, then the safer we will all be and the better we will all be. So I applaud you for that. But like, this is gonna be Cornball City, USA, but you know, when I met Mimi, like she really, I don't know, I won't say I was an angry guy, but I let things bother me and I let things consume me that...

30:02
stage, it just doesn't matter. You know, and she did a really great job of helping me figure those things out, mostly professionally, right at first, and then, you know, helped me in my everyday life. But, you know, I think, I think finding something you like to do, and staying active really helps me

30:31
I don't have time to think about things that bum me out. And I don't have the space for it in my life. And I don't wanna create, excuse me, I don't wanna create that space either. I'm trying so hard to be positive on things that maybe five or six years ago I wouldn't be. And surrounding yourself with negative people I have found has been really detrimental to my mental health. And I try not to.

31:01
And I tried to control the things that I can control. And she really helped me understand that. And she really helped me get my arms around that. If you can't control something and you know that you can't, and you're going to let that totally ruin your day, that's not worth it to me, you know? And I know those things that's a lot easier said than done. And those things can be harder to ID sometimes, but, you know, I guess a long, long, another long answer here, but like, I feel like if you can.

31:30
If you can keep the negativity at bay even a little bit, and just worry about your own shit, that will help you realize, okay, not everything is the end of the world here. Not everything is meltdown mode. Life goes on, world keeps spinning. There's no reason for me to go home and dwell on this and get to a worse place. Let's ID it at the door.

31:59
and be done with it. You know what I'm saying? I don't know if that makes any sense. No, that makes perfect sense because that's the thing is like if you've got this negative stuff or a person, let's personify it, there's a negative person, you don't know what they're dealing with and they may be dealing with something that they don't bring up. They don't have this type of open conversation. They don't know you that well. They don't feel comfortable. There are things and demons that they may be dealing with that you just have no idea about and you have to understand. It's like...

32:28
them being like that doesn't have anything to do with me. So I can't let it affect me personally because of that. But also because I'm not letting it affect me personally, it may have to put distance between me and that person or me and that person in that particular situation or whatever. And not saying that person is a bad person or that person is a less than person. That person is dealing with something. And that person needs to seek the help and advice and guidance that you have found for yourself.

32:56
And I've also found that like, again, having these conversations, like, if anybody knows me on, you know, on a personal level that's listening to this, they can attest to it. If I have an issue with someone or I feel like someone may have an issue with me, I'm a, I'm a cut it off at the head kind of person. Let's talk about it, man. Like I get it. You think I'm a jerk or I think you're stupid or whatever it is, you know, let's just have the conversation. There's no reason.

33:24
for you to have to go home or go to work or get in your car and be like, wow, this is totally gonna, this is gonna dominate the rest of my day trying to figure out why this, he said this, or why this person said that or whatever it is. Open dialogue is okay. And I hope that with shows like this and conversations like this, it'll encourage more people to feel safe to have those conversations. And I hope that those conversations can remain safe because I think that it'll help so much.

33:54
You know what I mean? I just, an open dialogue is great. And I think that people struggle to communicate how they're feeling sometimes. So, you know, for me, if I can get to where you're at quick, then like we'll be all right.

34:14
All right, Sean, this is the third segment of the show. It's time now for the fast five, fast five. It's time now for the fast five, fast five. Maybe I should have done like a, what I was gonna say, maybe I should have done like a country version seeing as you're in Nashville, but you don't work at a country station. It's like, yes, it's fast five, I'm gonna keep it all alive. It's fast five. I don't know. I left my fiddle upstairs. I'm so bummed. Do you play the fiddle? No. Oh, dang it.

34:42
I was like, I got really excited about that, man. I was like, what? I would have sent you so many of my fiddle podcasts if I had them. That would have been amazing. I mean, that's...

35:32
Is it worth paying more for IMAX? No, no. No? No, come on. It's already a rip off anyway to go to the movies. Yeah, I mean, cause movies are what? Like they're like 17, $18 now? Come on man. You gotta pay. Wait till it gets on HBO Max, watch it at home. Okay, okay. All right.

35:54
See, I am a fan of IMAX movies, but I was a fan of IMAX movies when they used to be like those little 45 minute nature movies that you'd see at the museum or something. So I was like, those I thought were amazing. The life of the cheetah is different now in Africa. Exactly, exactly. Now that it's like Batman and IMAX, I'm not that much thrilled about it. All right, question number two.

36:23
Do you like to plan things out in detail or be spontaneous? Can I be a combo? Yeah. Yeah. I hate being part of a bad plan, but sometimes I hate it, bro. Like we're making plans and I'm like, you guys, this doesn't make any sense. Everyone's like, just go with it. And like, and I'm always the cranky dude in the back. But then like when that plan inevitably fails, you gotta be, you know, I maybe he's got to take over. Yeah, we got it. All right, we're going to pivot. We're going to do this now. We just got someone's decision. We're going.

36:53
Yeah. I like it. I like it. All right. Question number three.

37:00
burger or hot dog burger. Hot dogs are the most disgusting thing on this planet. Don't ever eat a hot dog. You're a freak if you like hot dogs. Whoa. Whoa. That is a very concrete standpoint that you stand in, sir. You know what they put in those things, Robert. I mean my God. Well, what's your favorite burger then? What do you, what do you like on your burger? Okay. So I just had, this is funny because yesterday I just went to another place here, right? This on your little sheet of places. You're going to go visit in Nashville called burger up.

37:28
Okay. And I just had it yesterday to wagyu beef sliders, one with provolone, one with a Colby Jack lettuce, tomato pickle. Fantastic. Awesome. Awesome. Burger up. Definitely have to do that. All right. Question number four.

37:48
What embarrasses you instantly? Oh, oh my God, how much time you have. I mean, when somebody, I'm not a snappy dresser and when somebody points it out, that's pretty embarrassing because I could do better or when I can't fix something, like I'm not very handy either, like screwdriver, hammer, like whatever. I, when that happens, when it's pretty clear, I can't help.

38:18
I get pretty, that's pretty embarrassing. Okay. When you're, when your lack of handyman is, is, is brought to light. You're like, and I'm fat. So it's like, when you like get out of breath, like doing something, it's like, Oh God, this is embarrassing. All right. And question number five.

38:41
You said you're from Michigan, right? Yeah. Okay. Are there any local dish or food product from where you grew up that you miss? There is nothing like a Comerica park slice of Little Caesar's pizza because they make it at the ballpark. They have, they charge you like 17 bucks for the slice. So they got to make sure it tastes like halfway good. I swear they use like a different crust in it. The square piece. I don't know, man. Something about a Comerica park slice of Little Caesar's. That's

39:10
That's my jam. I just can't get that anywhere else. You know what I'm saying? Well, it sounds like you gotta have a trip to Camerica Park in your future. Soon, we're going at the end of the month, man. See, there you go. Yeah. You're gonna have to send me a picture of you and a slice of pie. Yeah, I will. That's what I need. I need to see that.
