Speaker 1:So there you have it, John. This is a little focus on you here, A little shout out to you. So we've been hearing, you know there's been a lot of rumblings going on that you're, you know, kind of trying to make a name for yourself a little bit in the music industry.
Speaker 2:Yep, yes, indeed. Yeah, I actually discovered that I had a hidden talent, and more so than a talent, a gift. That is just 100% and that is to sing country music.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, so so walk us through it. So what really kind of led you to this revelation, down this path?
Speaker 2:So I'm allergic to dogs. What, what I am.
Speaker 4:Okay.
Speaker 3:And so I'm all dogs, all dogs. Regardless if they're hyperelegic or not, yep Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2:But not my dogs. But I am allergic to dogs and my dog ran away, but because I'm allergic to them, I forced it to run away.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:From that I created what I think is probably, I mean, top five on the billboards right now. Okay, so?
Speaker 1:so let me get this straight 100%. So you got into country because you're allergic to dogs, correct, okay, so okay. That's all I needed to know. Okay, so walk us through this process. How did you make this song? Well, first of all, what's the song? What's?

Speaker 2:But I'm willing to pay for that. Wow, that's it.
Speaker 1:Okay, so that's it, but you wrote the rest of the song, so you just I know I didn't write the song.
Speaker 2:I came up with it on the spot, because it's that good.
Speaker 3:But you wrote that's writing the song, no, I freestyle it on the mic. But that's still writing Well verbally writing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, verbal writing.
Speaker 1:Okay, so let me get this straight. So somebody gave you the title, that you paid them to give you the title, and then you just freestyled about this dog that you forced out of your life.
Speaker 3:Correct, okay, you forced the dog out of your life.

Speaker 2:Did you hear that first right here, alright.
Speaker 1:I've got a lot more questions than answers, so let's start with the first one. I got a lot more hits than answers, fair enough. So wait, isn't this your first song, your world premiere?
Speaker 2:There's more to come. Buddy, Alright, alright, alright.
Speaker 1:Let's kind of break this down a little bit. So you're kind of telling two different stories here and I'm kind of at an impasse here. I don't know what story you're telling. First, you're telling me you're super allergic to this dog, so you kicked it, you got rid of it. But in this song all you're doing is crying that you miss him.
Speaker 2:Well, the reason is is I have what's called reverse psychology. What?
Speaker 1:No, Paul, this is a real thing. I've heard of this. Okay, go ahead, John. What is reverse psychology?
Speaker 2:It's where you psych someone reverse, okay. And the thing is here is, this is what we call hook. If I can grab your attention by talking about my dog, you won't leave. Now, the dog might leave, but you're going to stay. Wow, and what I really care about is that the viewers, the listeners, are going to stay.
Speaker 1:The dog ran away. So you're saying to listeners stay, stay listeners roll over, stay sit.
Speaker 3:Okay, all right, then what Then? What happens after you have them?
Speaker 2:Then after I have them, then that's just more money in my pocket from the song and the views. Okay.
Speaker 3:How many views and streams do you have so far?
Speaker 2:Well, I've showed it to about 15 people 15 views. So that's 15. And now and now I've shown it to 15 people.
Speaker 1:So about seven, yeah, eight people didn't listen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so 17, now Okay, 17 views, okay All right.
Speaker 1:So is this on any like radio charts or any country charts anywhere Are?
Speaker 2:you familiar with billboards?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know what billboard dial when you see them on the street Is that what you're talking about, like billboard. Billboards on the street that you drive by no, I think there's like a billboard magazine like the billboard charts the billboard chart.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, the billboard charts Correct.
Speaker 2:Correct has it been on the billboard charts, absolutely, it has for months.
Speaker 1:Really Years actually, didn't it just come out the song?
Speaker 2:Yeah, earlier this year.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 3:So it's been on the billboard charts for years, years.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but jokes aside, mission media will never produce something that terrible for you.
Speaker 3:We will.
Speaker 1:Let's clarify that right now. We will always make sure that it's not a mission media group affiliation that was a John freeze.
Speaker 3:Just letting you know without there that this is not what we do. No, okay, so obviously we've been.
Speaker 1:If you couldn't tell already, this has been a all of a joke. What Well, reverse psychology, john. So, stay, stay. So that's really good, thank you.
Speaker 2:You need to get the sound effects back.
Speaker 1:That's the previous episode. Wrong episode, but no, we you know, I think so. You seriously, though you improved that whole thing, like right there in the spot.
Speaker 3:Yeah, okay, now that's, I'm not gonna lie. That's impressive. That's impressive.
Speaker 1:I know some singers that can't remember the next line of the song.
Speaker 4:I think that if I was a worship, leader, I think spontaneous would be my specialty.
Speaker 3:Honestly, I, you, you do have like a natural gift for like melody and like coming out of the church.
Speaker 2:I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing.
Speaker 1:Honestly, I, you, you do have like a natural gift for like melody and like coming up with things on the spot.
Speaker 3:No, you're, I'm serious. Like yeah, that's not, I'm giving you.
Speaker 1:I mean, obviously we've been having a lot of fun with John. Bookline or what.
Speaker 2:It's a book lion, book lion. Right Got to get it twisted with Luke Bryan.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, now it makes sense.
Speaker 2:Totally different artists. No for sure Got it. I'm just. You know you're talented though.
Speaker 1:Thank you, I appreciate that. Yeah, no, cause I I can't come up with stuff that fast.
Speaker 3:I can't. I have to like sit down and write it out, plot it out, right yeah, and even then it's not good.
Speaker 2:I was showing some guy who tried to get into country music that song actually, and he was like this is so stupid that you wrote a country song that actually sounds decent within 10 minutes. And I spent 10 years of living in Nashville and never made one hit song.
Speaker 1:Well, there you go. That's really funny. I felt kind of bad but I laughed, but I mean it's just, I just love people that can just like kind of come up with funny stuff like that, makeup stuff, yeah, yeah On the spot. It's really funny, I wish.
Speaker 2:I could make up stuff randomly.
Speaker 1:You just did, you just did.
Speaker 4:That's what that was.
Speaker 2:I wish I could be random. That was pretty random. But my brain is just so smart. I have a very photogenic system in order way of doing things. I'm more so geared to talking about something specific, never random.
Speaker 1:Well, speaking of language, we came up with an idea that we thought would be something pretty fun, paul. So what we're going to do here is, as we've mentioned, if this is the first time, checking out. Paul is a seasoned veteran in life.
Speaker 2:I'm going to say seasoned potato. I don't know why.
