What's up everybody? Welcome to the Granger Smith podcast. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for listening. I'm grateful for this platform. I'm grateful for my right to sit here in front of you and tell you my opinion

and have this platform that is that is very unique to be able to tell

you stories of where I came from and stories of where I want to go and and

stories from some of my buddies. This is a way for me to get closer to you as a

listener and as a viewer so that you could see a side of me that maybe you don't see just on the stage singing country music

maybe you can get to know me a little bit better and that's the reason for this podcast that's the reason I've done

all these episodes in the past which started on my bus,

Wildflower on tour and a parking lot of some venue.

We don't do that anymore.

We don't tour anymore yet.

We will be touring very soon, and I say it seems like I've been saying this over and over, like beating a dead horse, but it's not a matter of if it's when things will get back to normal.

I reject the idea of the new normal, the new way of life, the new way that we're going to live.

That's not right.

Right now we're living in a current reality.

The state of the world is very different right now but we will return back to

normal back to the old normal and if you don't and if anyone tells you that

we want if anyone is telling you that we're about to enter a new normal,

then you have to question their motives. You have to wonder why they want you to think that way.

Because to me, this is a virus that eventually will go away we will conquer it like all

humans do and whether we find a vaccine whether we find herd immunity whatever

that might be and no matter how long that takes it will go away whatever that's my little
