| 0:00.0 | All right. We're here with the legend, the one and only Travis trip. Can't believe it. Finally happened. |
| 0:21.1 | We were just talking about the cutouts before you came on. Can we make a cutout of you? |
| 0:25.7 | This lady in Australia makes them off of Etsy. We got to get a cut out of a Travis trip. |
| 0:30.0 | Hardboard cutout to put in the put in the office over there. Yeah. I got George. I got Alan over here. |
| 0:36.7 | Maybe get him in there. Oh yeah. There you go. I need a Travis trip would be a great one. |
| 0:41.8 | Maybe something straight from the 90s signature mullage is blown in the breeze. |
| 0:48.8 | You know, I think there's some some old ones that we used to do way back when |
| 0:54.1 | that are probably still floating around somewhere. I don't know if you could find those any more |
| 0:57.7 | or not, but that outfit right there. I said to Wes, you look almost in a good way. You look |

| 1:38.7 | I got a record deal. I was playing biker bars and pool halls and bowling alleys and honky dogs and |
| 1:44.4 | beer joints. I played some pretty rough places, too. I played some places that if you didn't have |
| 1:49.9 | a gun or a knife at the front door, they'd give you one. So everybody'd be equal. That's a fair |
| 1:54.9 | place. Those days are gone. I mean, yeah, thank God. But smoking a bar is one of my favorite songs |
| 2:06.4 | off the new album, Set and Stone. And we're just into our early 30s, but we grew up listening to |
| 2:12.0 | your music. It's crazy, though, how the times have changed so much the last 10 years, |
| 2:18.4 | because now when I talk to a 20 year old, I'm like, I don't even know what planet you're living in. |
| 2:25.2 | Compared to me, like just turning 30 recently. Yeah. So when I hear smoke in a bar, when I hear |
| 2:31.2 | some of these things that you talk about in the song, I'm missing that stuff even. You're missing it. |
