I'm super excited to have somebody who we have said multiple times over the years is one

0:19.8

of the most talented guys in all of music, Charlie Worsham, and I'm not just saying that

0:26.2

we are monster fans and we love your music and we always have and you're severely underrated.

0:34.8

And I'm not using that word in bad way, but just you're as legit as they come. So any chance

0:41.1

we get just so you know, we're putting that out there. And so we're pumped to hell.

0:44.6

Thanks, y'all. Thanks, Wes and Steve. You know, the thing I'd much rather be underrated than

0:49.4

overrated. If you call me overrated, I would, that's, I would then take that as a negative comment,

0:57.0

1:52.4

you to play on their records because you're so talented with what you do. Well, you know what it is,

1:57.9

is I'm a flavor of ice cream that is unique to me. And making records, you're trying to
