| 0:00.0 | All right, here with RC Edwards and Hank early, guys, awesome to finally talk to you for |
| 0:20.3 | anybody who doesn't know. |
| 0:21.9 | These fellows are from Turnpike Troopers, but they're doing their own thing right now. |
| 0:26.5 | I'm sorry, RC in the Ambers, which wasn't I have been cranking for a while, we did a premiere, |
| 0:31.9 | great response from that. My first question I wanted to ask you was, and I were kind of going |
| 0:36.9 | back and forth about some of the different things, and where you guys were with Turnpike, where you |
| 0:40.7 | are now, was there like a timeline, or was it more of an organic process of, you know, kind of |
| 0:48.6 | the hiatus was announced, and then where you kind of like, all right, let's just see what happens, |
| 0:53.8 | and then you got to a point where you're like, shit, like we're musicians, we want to kind of |

| 1:35.4 | was just, you know, we, since we're home, and we had all the time, you know, the coronavirus |
| 1:43.3 | in addition to the Turnpike hiatus kind of like doubled up on us, so it was like, well, we got all |
| 1:49.1 | this time, so my way of occupying my time was to start working on production and building out the |
| 1:55.6 | home studio, and you know, I know that RC has all these great songs, so you know, that was kind of |
| 2:02.2 | every time I'd see him like, hey man, you want to make a record, come out to the house, you know, |
