(upbeat music) - I got the whiskey. - Let me have a drink here, whiskey. Gotta get out of here. (upbeat music) - My name's Ken, and I clean Willie Nelson's underhole. - Underhole. (upbeat music) - I know you don't agree, but I think he's the king of country. - Get the fuck out of here. - I tried to get out of my studio. - I'm scared. No, hell no. (upbeat music) - From the Ramona Radio Studios, it's the Travis Billy Ross Outlaw Country Show. (upbeat music) - All right, we're here, we're back. We're live, ladies and gentlemen. Happy Sunday with me as always. Sweet curbs. - Hey, hey. - And always with me as well. The guy running all the madman radio sounds. - All the geeky stuff. - All the nerd stuff. - All the nerd. - Nerd. - All the techy stuff. - Hi guys. - Eric, go forth. How are you my friend? - I'm good. - Good, happy Sunday. It's been a long week, been a good week. - Yeah. - Yeah. - We got a very special guest with us today. This is Sarah Jade. - Hello. - Hello. - How are you? - Amazing, stoked to be here. - Welcome to the show. - Thank you. - Okay. So tell us a little bit about yourself, Sarah. What's the scoops, what's the ins, what's the outs? - All my secrets. - All the secrets. - I wanna know all the good juicy stories. - If I drink more whiskey, that will be-- - Oh yeah, speaking of that. - That's good, we have a full hour. - So. (laughing) - So. I'm Sarah Jade, I play the keytar. - A keytar. - Yes. - I think that is. - The keyboard that you wear. Retro's 80's kid to know what a keytar is. - Yeah. - All the 80's kids. - I say keytar to people and they just think I'm saying guitar with an accent. - Right. - I'll play the keytar. - I'll play the keytar. - Yeah, I'll play. Are you saying keytar, you're saying guitar? Like a hillbilly. (laughing) Well, I don't know. No, I don't play guitar actually. I just play the keyboard. - You play piano too though, yeah? - Yeah, I play piano. That's, I was classically trained, which makes me sound way better than I am. (laughing) - So was it hard to go from like piano keyboard that's in front of you flat to like a keytar that's like strapped on you like a guitar playing it horizontally? - It was, it wasn't like that hard. It actually seems like it would have been way harder, but suddenly your body just kind of, you realize it makes you a better piano player 'cause you have to play blind, especially too 'cause my keyboard only has black keys. Like it's all, like I can't look down and just know where I'm at. So you just kind of feel the topography of it. And so then when you go to play horizontally, you're like, wow, I can actually see what my hands are doing, it's amazing. - Oh wow, that's interesting. - Yeah. - Maybe I'm gonna have to try me some of that keytar. - Oh yes, it's also a great piece of jewelry. - Oh, great piece of jewelry. - I don't know, yeah. - If you've seen her keytar. - Oh yeah, I've seen it, yeah. - Yeah. - Makes you feel so rad. It's green. - Yeah, I love it. - It's like a power piece. - It's kind of hot. - It's kind of hot. - Yeah. (laughing) - It has that accent. You can actually take it off and wrap it yourself. So like everyone does custom ones. So that one actually tumbled weed. The guitarist, if you've seen me play, that is my guitarist, my husband. And he actually wrapped it with that green. So that is the Sarah Jade keytar. Like, I mean, not that people couldn't buy the same thing and do it, but. - It's noticeable, it's noticeable. - The signature. - The signature. - The signature. - And now all my outfits have to match it, which is hilarious. - Yeah. - So are you from somewhere on the East Coast or? - No, I'm from born and raised in Southern California. And I'm from like Riverside area. And like Corona. I don't know why I always say that because for a while, like I, for a hot minute, I went to college up in NorCal and no one knew what Corona was and other than a beer. And I was like, that's. - And a virus. - And a virus eventually, yeah, right. (laughing) - So I'd be like, oh, I'm from Riverside or I'm from 90 miles to East of LA. - Right. (laughing) - It was very silly. - I grew up in Temecula and that was always fun. - Yeah. - Temecula, where's that? It's near San Diego. - It's got wine. - Yeah. Temecula wine now. - Yeah, right. - Like, yeah, 20 years ago, my grandma bought a house in Hemet and I was like, where? (laughing) Never heard of Hemet. But, that's the same area as Temecula out there. Hemet's in New Zealand, right? I'm just kidding. (laughing) I've never heard of it at all. - What country is Hemet? Where's this mesh? - Where is this mesh? - But if I need to have one, I'll definitely come visit. Do the hobbits live there? (laughing) - Oh, man. So what's your inspiration in playing music? What's your-- - Well, got you started. - Yeah, what you got to do. - Got me started. So my dad was a musician. He played six nights a week at the local. So actually, so I grew up in Corona mostly, but when I was first born, we lived on like a boat down in Newport Beach. My folks were just live aborts. And my dad was playing like six nights a week at the village and down there at the nightclub. And he played like classic rock. And he does an amazing meal diamond and really good like meal young and stuff. - Does he sing or just play guitar? - He sings and plays guitar. So, and he actually was in a surf band back when he was like 17 called the Newport Nomads. And they, their pictures in like this Huntington Beach like surf museum. And he's featured in a bunch of surf like these books that you get on surf music history. - What is your dad's name? 'Cause now I have to ask my dad if he knows him. 'Cause my dad grew up in Huntington Beach, surfed in Huntington Beach. - No way. - Yes, his name is Don Ross. - Don Ross, okay. - Don Ross, he's a Ross. - Yes, he's a Ross. And his drummer, Tom Fitzgerald and him, they still know each other like Tommy's to drum for me. - Wow. - Yeah, so, oh, this is your dad. - This, yeah, this is her dad, the Newport Nomads. - The Newport Nomads. - Parabellos. - The Newport Nomads. - Yes, that's her, and then Blue Mallard is the other one. That's, and their sax player, this is literally, yes, this is her dad. - Dude, that's so rad. - That's rad. - That is right out of this, that is like the perfect 50/60 surf rock stuff, that's so rad. - That reminds me of like, in the movie Austin Powers when they'd have the cut scenes and they'd have like the go-go dancers, but like surf. - Yeah. - Oh, that's amazing. - I'm on YouTube and the videos, that's what they're doing. And they're like, they're just hitting out the go-go. (laughing) Blue Mallard. - Wow, look at that. (upbeat music) - That's like, it reminds me that-- - You can't see as far as the other thing in the studio. - Yeah. - That movie, Pulp Fiction, you know the theme song in it? It's like that. - Right? - What the heck was the name of that song? I don't remember. - I don't know. - But it's the, like the beachy-- - How's that again? - Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang. (laughing) - That beachy surfy kind of music, that's pretty cool though. - So you grew up listening to the beachy surfers stuff? Or was it just kind of his side hustle? - Yeah, that was like his, you know, original start and then he kind of toured all over the country which makes it sound like a planned tour. I think he just was in a van and kind of went around and hopped around bands. He has a huge portfolio of all the different bands he was in. Like at one point he was in a band called the Bailey Hill Farm Band and they all got, so they were all kind of in like a communish thing. They all lived at a farm and took care of this farm. So then they turned all of their overall bibs into bell bottoms. They made them their stuff themselves. (laughing) And there's like this awesome epic picture. He went through like hair band phases. It was like all this crazy stuff. But he originally started out as a bass player and then eventually realized he could sustain himself a lot more if he was playing guitar and front manning. So yeah, so that was his life for a long time and then him and my mom actually playing music at the waiting room at Benny Hana in Newport Beach. - Does your mom sing and play then? - My mom sings in the choir and she's a huge cheerleader for the two of us. - Very good. - Yeah, she's got a great voice and she does choir still. So then she just likes to shout out requests. So she has a great projection. That's me. - That's wild man. So like how old were you when you started playing? Like we were like probably like a baby I would imagine. - Yeah, so my folks put me in piano lessons when I was seven. But my dad started singing to me like when I was in the womb and tells this story that like when I was born I wouldn't stop crying and he came into the nursery and started singing singing to me and I just shut up like immediately, which is crazy. - That's awesome. - Yeah, so I have really fond memories of like being on the boat late at night and he has this old ovation guitar and he would sing Neil Young and yeah, just brings me to tears, it's so awesome. And so then I started, that was like nine years old and Spice Girls came out and they were super popular and all my girlfriends wanted to be in a band so I had this big sleepover and the next morning my friend grabbed this little toy ukulele that I had played the weirdest rung worst chord ever but then just says "Gold and Fire" and it was the, I don't know what clicked in my brain that was the first song I ever wrote. - And you were nine? - I was nine. - That's wild. - And then I came to my dad, I was like I wrote this song and would you play it? And he had a really, really good pitch so he was able to hear what I was singing 'cause at that time I didn't like put the music and the everything together, you know, the instrumentation and so he played, I wrote like two verses in a chorus. That was my first song. That's amazing though, nine years old, holy cow. Yeah, it was really fun. - So when you were in like middle school or high school did you perform at like the night of the arts or what talent shows and stuff in school? - I didn't perform like my original music. I grew up as a musical theater nerd, you know? And so I was doing "Bye By Birdie" and all of that stuff and then I was-- - I love you Conrad. - Yeah. - Oh yes I do. - There's a hole in the bucket. (laughing) - Oh my gosh. - And then I was like writing poetry and then playing piano and just never really married the two which was so weird. And then all of a sudden when I was 17, same thing started just this waterfall of ideas came out and I just started writing songs. No bridges, just courses and verses. - Yeah, of course. - And then went up to my dad and did the same thing. And so he and I would, that's what I would do, write my melody and my verse. And I come to him like play the chords. (laughing) That's kind of how it all first started. And yeah, and I thought that I loved acting and then I went to college on a theater scholarship and they didn't have any musicals. And I was like, "Well, this sucks." - Wow. - I was like, "Okay, nevermind." (laughing) - Just acting like drama. - Yeah, I was like-- - I wish I could have done musical theater. I'm such a musical nerd but I have, I can act, I've done plays and stuff but I have absolutely zero musicality. - That's not true. - Wow. - You can sing in the shower, I'm sure. - I mean that's true but I don't know how many people wanna listen to it. (laughing) - Cassie likes to choke, she sings so bad the shower turns off. (laughing) - Well, I'll tell Travis at church sometimes, I'm like, sing quieter, I can tell that I'm off key, like sing quieter. - I know she's yelling at me at church. I'm like, what, I'm just singing with you. - Sing quieter. - Shut up, you're making me sound that. - No, you're just singing, you're just singing like an avant-garde harmony, that's what's happening. - That's how I like that. - Yeah. - Okay, yeah, that's what I'm gonna say from now on. Honestly, making it my own, making it my own. - It's jazz, this is jazz hymnals. (laughing) - It's jazz. So Sarah, this is an outlaw country show that you're on right now. What are your thoughts on outlaw country? What would be like the old older style of music? Who's your inspiration in that like? - So outlaw country, I don't feel like you can really not mention Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, for sure. - Okay, acceptable. - Yes, acceptable. - Acceptable. (laughing) - It's to be honest, there is a current artist who is very outlaw country to me that I really like, Kulture Wall. - Okay, yeah. - Yeah, and he is just, I love that he's bringing back the murder ballad. - Yeah, and that, yeah, I agree that style, you know, of that older style. What do you think about Cody Jinx? - Oh yeah, I love Cody Jinx. Actually, it's so funny, (laughing) listen to one of his songs and misheard the lyric, and then ended up writing a song because of Cody Jinx. - Oh really, okay, misheard the lyric. - What happened there? - What was the misheard the lyric? - So I thought that he said, "Hippies raised a cowboy." (laughing) - I know what song you're talking about. - Hippies and cowboys. - Yes, and so then I-- - I have a T-shirt. - Yep, and then I wrote, "Hippies raised a cowgirl," 'cause I was like, "Oh, that's not what he's in at all." - Oh, that's killer. - But somebody should write that. - Yeah, exactly, and so when I played that song, someone was like, "You know that reminds me of Cody Jinx?" And I was like, "Yeah, funny stories." - So I did my job. - Yes, exactly, it's, you know what. - That's hilarious. - Yes, I mean, a mayor may or may not have been-- - All right, well, shoot, let's listen to-- - I wanna hear Sarah Jade's song first. - I wanna hear that one. I wanna hear that, "Hippies made a cowgirl." - "Razed a cowgirl." - "Razed a cowgirl." - It's in production. - Oh, it's not done yet, okay. What can we pull up? - She'll come back for the big reveal. Well, her latest song, "Singing Woman," is wrapped ass. - Let's do that. - Let's hear that one. - Ooh. - Yeah.

We got Sarah Jade here, hanging out with us. Today, what a great day. Man, I tell you what, just a couple of weeks ago, it was 110 freakin' degrees outside, and now we're all in here wearin' jackets. - And now, only Ramona. - Okay, the jackets though, 'cause that heat was brutal. - I know, it was pretty brutal. The thing we had is swimming pool. - Yeah, it was sweltering, but I actually just came back from Burning Man, so I felt like, "Oh, I got the best weather there," and then I came home and I was like, "Oh my God, I'm melting, so hot." - I never been to Burning Man. - Really? - Was that your first time? - It was my second time. - Second time? - What was your first time? - Last year, I did. - My first and only time was 2007. - Really? - Yeah, I liked it. - I missed the flood last year, I was, I had a gig, so sometimes it pays to work. - Yeah, I remember that they were all stuck in the mud trying to get out of there. - So it's a funny story about that. I fly jets for a living, my day job, right? And so, I got a call from dispatch saying, "Get your ass to Reno. "We can fly all the people you could ever want." So, I said, "All right." I would think I was in San Francisco at the time, so I told my copilot. I says, "We got to go to Reno for something." And I hadn't heard the news. I didn't know what was going on, but planes were flying from all over the country and racing to Reno, and we landed Reno, and the ramp is just packed with planes. And so I text dispatch, I go, "What in the hell is going on?" And he goes, "Just go inside, "I'm gonna give you a name and yell it." And if they raise their hand, they'll just fly 'em wherever they need to go. I said, "All right." So, we go into the Reno FBO in there, and I'm waiting on my phone. I don't know what the name was, Betty or whatever. Betty, she raises her hand out of this crowd of like 150 people in this building. And I go, "Where are you going?" She goes, "Orange County." I go, "All right, let's go." Perfect. And she was covered in mud. They were all, and of course, they were all Instagrammers, right? They're all trying to show how hard they had it, you know? So they intentionally left all the mud on their boots, and it was caked on. Didn't show the private plane they were getting into. They were flown out. And they're like, "Walk slower, walk slower, Lucy. "I need to see you's trudging." Oh! And they're like, "Oh!" And they're shooting all these selfies of like, help-a-thetic hard. They're like this, and yeah, they're dramatizing the whole thing. We call them honey bears and sparkle ponies. Yeah, is that them? Yeah. Honey bears and sparkle ponies. Good lord. I found a whole bunch of them. Yeah, anyway. They got to the lady. They got to the plane. I says, "Boots come off. "I threw all their crap in a trash bag." (both laugh) The way you handle it with a pumpkin that they bring on how long you've been talking about? Yeah, they go to Burning Man. They go to Burning Man every year. They're like very steampunk. And I've never been, and correct me if I'm wrong, when you go to Burning Man, most people contribute something to the atmosphere, to the people there, the principles is participation. So they have this like Cinderella carriage that's like a metal pumpkin, like totally steampunk, and they take it and they drive people around through, I don't know if like campgrounds is the right word, but like through the different stations of Burning Man. Through the kinda, yeah. And that's their contribution. They go every year and they drive this giant steampunk pumpkin, say that three times fast, through Burning Man, and like give people a ride. Yeah, they always have the art cars. They park it at FOMO every year for Halloween and my people come in and take pictures. Yeah, it's really cool. Oh my gosh, I'm gonna have to come see that, because I can't believe, I mean, there's so much to see out there, but and so you miss a lot, and that it's cool to see other people's like, experiences. They usually have it out on Main Street, every Halloween, what do you got going on Halloween? On actual Halloween, nothing on actual Halloween, but I do have a Halloween show that I'm doing on the 19th, actually. So with Jesse Larkin, Elizabeth Bowersock, who did "Singin' Woman with Me," which is pretty cool. Oh, okay. Yeah. And on Halloween, what day is it? Is it a Thursday? It's a Thursday, yeah. So what you're gonna need to do on Halloween is come up to Ramona and check out that carriage, because it's always that, and also, my band, Dirty Confetti, is gonna be playing on Halloween night for, they're gonna shut down Main Street, and they're gonna be doing the archway thing in Ramona. You got the big welcome to Ramona, arch. Yeah. Love to be Ramona. My band, Dirty Confetti, Dirty Confetti, D-A-R-T-Y, Confetti, j-t-t-t-t. I gotta yell out and give a shout out to my band, but. That's so sick. Oh my gosh, now I have Halloween plans. Yeah, there you go. Yes. So throughout the day, they have like trick-or-treating, you know, for the kids. Yeah. We're probably gonna be up pommel hanging out, right on Main Street. That's where they usually park that pumpkin wagon, and then we'll be playing later on that evening. It's gonna be awesome. Oh my God, it's so cool. What time does the music start? We... I don't know. I'm pretty sure it's seven. You know, I saw this, like this reel one time. It's like, I'm a musician. Of course, I don't know what time I'm supposed to try. No, no, no, dude. He literally will message me, like, what time is... I'm like, I don't know, I'm not in the band. Let me look at my text message thread. 'Cause this is why we have significant others. Yeah. We play the music, you keep the schedule. Yeah. And the sanity. Oh, yeah. Or don't you have something on the stay? I don't think so. I feel like you do. Let me look. Oh, yeah, you have a gig. Yeah, I have a gig. What time am I supposed to be there? What time am I supposed to be there? Oh, man. Speaking of significant others, you gave your husband a nickname. Yes, I did. And I think if you've ever told me the story, I can't remember it. I have not, I don't think I've told anyone this story. So is your husband? Well, I literally had to ask Sarah one time when she was playing a pommel, like, what is his actual name? Because I only know him as Tumbleweed, and I'm pretty sure that's not his... I think I'm gonna get it legally changed. Actual name. You have the power to do that. I want you to go through the airport. The customs guy goes, his name really Tumbleweed. And he goes, "It is now." She put the paperwork in. It is now. Or like Josie's when you order your food, and they're like, "Tumbleweed, your food is right now." Oh my gosh. Every reservation from now on out. Yes. I don't know why I never thought of that before. Tumbleweed. Keep it going. That's a cool name. Yes. No one else will have that name. But how'd you come up with that? So I came up with it. So we, a long time ago, I once stole his juice box at the hospital, and then he started calling me Juice Box, which was very silly. And the nurse came in and scolded me. And he actually had like a crazy, he loves to snowboard, and he had like a crazy snowboarding accident back in like 2017. And he's fine and everything. But he had given me this ridiculous nickname that I didn't really like. And then one night I had this dream, and I'm kind of a lucid dreamer, and I always remember my dreams like memories. But the next day, I couldn't for the life of me remember the dream, but I did remember that I had an equally annoying nickname for him. (laughing) And Tumbleweed was born. And Tumbleweed was born. So I didn't remember, we were on a hike, and then we saw a tumbleweed literally coming down the hill. And I was like, (gasping) I remember now. And he was like, what, what? And I was like, I saw you. And you fell down a mountain, and you turned into a tumbleweed, and your name is a tumbleweed. (laughing) - And he's like, oh, that's great. - He's like, okay, and he rolled his eyes at me, but the hook line and sinker was that fast forward. We decided we're gonna go camping in Sedona over Veteran's Day weekend. Of course, there's no campgrounds or anything. So we just dirt bagged it, you know, we like on the fire road or whatever. So we're out there, we're camping, and we decide like, we'll go to a brewery, and we go to this local brewery, there's a bonfire outside, we're hanging out, and there's this group of people that all know each other, and they're calling each other the weirdest names. And I just don't think anything of it. One gal turns to me, she's a little tipsy, and she goes, whoa, oh my God, wait, you just got here, you don't know. And I was like, what don't I know? She goes, well, we live half of our life here, and half of our life in Colorado, and we all decided we have to have Sedona names. And I was like, okay, cool. So she goes, I'm prickly pear, that's salty spring. That over there is a rope runner. And I was like, cool, she goes, well, what are your names? And I was immediately on the spot, and I just looked at her dead in the face that I'm Juice Fox, and he's tumbling. - Oh, that's funny. - That came in handy. - It did, Juice Fox. - That's awesome. Next night, there's an open mic we find out about, and we were like, cool, we'll go. So we go to the open mic, two people from the night before show up way after us, and they see us from across the room, and they shout at the top of Juice Fox and Tom away. (laughing) I think we're running at us and give us a big hug. That's awesome. - That's hilarious. - What an opportune type. - Yes. - So we said, we had to stick these. - Oh, yeah, and that worked. - And that worked. And then I just started introducing him as tumbleweed from that on out. I was like, this is-- - And how long ago was that? - Oh, my goodness. - That was probably 10 years ago. - Oh my gosh. - What a good sport. - And it's done. (laughing) - 'Cause nobody knows his name, but tumbleweed. - Nobody knows. (laughing) - You were telling us earlier, people at your band sometimes don't, we can't remember his real name. - Yes, it's so true, and yeah, we played with somebody for like five times, and they're like, oh, I'm so sorry. What's his real name? (laughing) - We'll not be mentioned here, because tumbleweed-- - No, no, yeah. - Is his real name? - His real name is tumbleweed. We call him T-dubs for sure. - T-dubs? - T-dubs. He's got a nickname to do a nickname. - T-dubs. (laughing) - My favorite is when I was like-- - My big, big, big. - I introduced him as, I was like, I'm Sarah Jade, and this is tumbleweed. And then the whole sea of people at one of these open mics just goes, tumbleweed. Tumbleweed. I was like, you haven't even heard of this place yet. - Yeah, all right. - Sounds like he's good, though. Sounds like he's good. - It sounds good. - You can't go wrong with tumbleweed. - No, you can't. For a while, he had a mullet, so it really sold it. - Oh, nice. - Yeah. - Little dirt going on, tumbleweed. - Yeah, a little bit. A little bit. - Oh, man. Sarah Jade, how you doing on your drink there, are you? - I'm doing amazing. - You're good. What are you drinking? Whiskey. - I am drinking some whiskey. - Is that your drink of choice, or is that your-- - You know, it's only on special occasions, like now. No, I really like, honestly, I love this one. What is this one called? Which one? - That's a gentleman Jack. - This is the gentleman Jack. - You gotta say it right. - Gentleman Jack. - Gentleman Jack. - I get it. - Gentleman Jack. - There he is. - Who's the whole AMSR, is that what it's called? - Yes. - Where you whisper it. - AMSR, thank you. I was trying to figure out what that was called. - What is it called? - I think it's ASMR, and it's something Meridian response. I don't know what the ASMR is. - The AS is. Meridian response is the-- - It's like the sounds, right, where-- - Oh, the people that, it's soothing to them to hear, like, or like-- - We're gonna hypnotize you now. - Stop doing that. - It's like some weird thing that-- - I shouldn't say weird, but like they enjoy it. It's like therapeutic. - Yeah. - So is that your actual drink of choice, like when you go out to a bar or a club or whatever you do? - When I go out to a bar or a club, I mean, it depends who I'm with. If I am with people I trust, whiskey. Yes, that's wonderful. - Well, that's good to know that you trust us. - Yep. (all laughing) - No, I am a gin girl as well. I do, I realize I actually like gin, 'cause people always do the gin and tonics, right? Thank you's up. And I realize I actually just like the Juniper taste, so I just get gin and soda now if I really wanna feel like I'm hydrating, you know? - All right, great. - I always say I'm the opposite. I am not a fan of gin because of the Juniper. I feel like I'm chewing on a-- - So I like gin. - Twig or something like that? - I don't mind gin at all, my favorite gin is beef eater. - Oh nice, you know, Rocky from Josie's? She introduced me to the, I think it's the whale gin, like there's that, it's like a blue bottle and it's fantastic. And she was like, oh, you like gin? You need to try this. And I can never find it anywhere. - Interesting, I'm gonna have to work that out. - Yes, you're gonna have to try it. If you like beef eaters, you'll like this one. - The brand is whale? - Yeah, whale, yeah, it's whale, it's whale gin. And you can't miss it, like literally the whole thing is basically like Moby Dick on the front of it. It's just this giant whale. Yeah, it's really good. It's really, really good. - Interesting. - I highly recommend. But yeah, that for my friends are really good about old fashions, but I just don't, I don't eat all the sugar, I'm good. I like to taste-- - Just whiskey on the rocks. - Quality, yeah, whiskey on the rocks is delicious. And for a while, I was a Jameson person until Jameson done me wrong. - Uh oh, what did Jameson do? - Story time. - Oh. - What did Jameson do? - Jameson, I actually, it was like Jameson, Jim Bean, and Jack, I got the three wise men. - Oh, the three wise men, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Wait, that's like a drink with all of them together? - I love them together. - It's a shot, it's called the three wise men. - It is, it is. That was definitely a puke and rally moment. I did keep raging though, I was proud to say, did you end up in jail? - I didn't end up in jail. - I have big blue eyes, I'm very innocent, you know. - That never worked for me. - No. - You know what, if I did, I don't remember, which means it was a crazy night. - I tried the blink of thing, it doesn't work for me either. - The blink of things. - I have blue eyes, Eric, you have blue eyes. - No, I don't know what they're, well they used to be brown. I don't know, they're brown. - Bad those eyes. - What are they? - They're brown. - They're brown. - They're better when they're red. - I've never really looked into your eyes before, but. (laughing) - Okay, so let's hear about the drunk story. - The drunk story, so the Jameson, so it was like my 21st birthday and, 'cause you know, I didn't drink until then. No, I'm just kidding. - Oh, damn. - Yeah, so before that, we are responsible on Ramon Radio. No one is drinking. - Very, very responsible. I had just heard of Jameson and dreamt about it a lot. I said I was a lucid dreamer. No, so it was the three wise men, it was a shot on one of my, when you're 21, you celebrate for like the whole month. So you don't just celebrate one night. And the worst part was that we were at a TGI Fridays. - Oh my God. - Nice. - Just like so. - Can I get some potato skins and a three wise men? - Yes, please. - Thank you so much. - Thank you so much. And that, oh, and it was the worst. So, I mean, I'm blaming, I'm blaming the three wise men, but then I was also ordered a gorilla fart. What in the world is that? - What is that? - I don't know, but after the three wise men, I was drunk enough not to ask. - Very good. - We're gonna have to Google that. - Yeah. - A gorilla fart. - It's pretty rare. - It's what goes on it. - It tastes like that as well. Now, I don't know if that was just the bartender or like messing with me. I mean, I was 21. I was just like, sure, Mark drinks. - Let me try to guess what's in a gorilla fart. There's probably Kalua. - There's probably some vanilla. - It's not anything sweet at all. - What is it? - No, it does not taste like that. - What's in it, sweet curse? - It literally is a half an ounce of 151 and a half an ounce of wild turkey. - Oh, yeah. - 151 and 101. Holy shit. Yeah, you were probably on the floor. (laughs) - I mean, if you can light it on fire. - Yeah, that's flammable. - You probably shouldn't follow it up with another shot or drink it after another shot. - Pretty much, yeah. Yeah, all I remember, so did that. I started like kind of falling off my stool and then I was just like, "Excuse me." I was like, "Are you good?" I'm like, "I'm great, you're kidding me." I'm like, totally sober, you know. Went to the bathroom, definitely got sick and a TGI Friday's, came right back, ordered some chicken strips and fries, and then ordered more drinks and espresso martini. And then later on, all I remember was just like toxic, blasting in the parking lot. And I'm just like doing a full-on dance. And like Britney Spears' toxic. - Yeah, Britney Spears' toxic. And I was just like, "Is my jam?" And I'm just, decided that we're at a concert in the middle of a mall parking lot at the TGI Friday's. (laughs) - I could totally see you. - I like to see your faces. - In the parking lot of the TGI Friday's. - I used, I opened the door and I used the seat belt as a prop, that's all I know. (laughs) I just was like, "It's fine." (laughs) - Dancing with the seat belt. - Yeah, if my friend, Chris Savile, listens to this, he'd be like, "I know that night." (laughs) And he was just like, "You're ridiculous." I'm like, "You're the one that ordered all of those drinks." - I was 21, it's fine. - You ordered Gorilla shots for fuck's sake. - Yeah, Gorilla fartes. - Gorilla fartes. We went to the jungle and it was dog sick. - He went to the jungle and it was dog sick. - All right, let's get some tunes in. - All right, let's get some tunes in. What would you like to hear, Sarah J? Do you said something about Willie Nelson and maybe some Johnny Cash or something? - Yes, actually, could we hear a woman? I know I'm switching it up, but one of my favorite songs is "Fancy" by Reba Mac. - Yeah, sir. - Here she wants you. - Nice. - It's fancy to don't let 'em down. - Nothing wrong with that. - Do you do that one? - I want to. - You can do it. - I bet you could do it.

Sarah Jade. That was your song? Yes, that was my song. Sippin' whiskey at... Bourbon. Bourbon. Good thing. Dude, that was pretty good. Thank you. I love that song. That's fun. Good. It was really good. Whenever my dad's around, he goes, "We say bourbon with dawn." 'Cause he really loves... Yeah, I'm sorry. Bourbon with dawn. Bourbon with dawn. Sippin' burpin' with dawn. Who's dawn? I'm sorry. That was his dawn lady. That was his dawn lady. That was funny. Oh, man. So, have you been on any tours or anything? I haven't been on an official long leg of a tour. I did just go to Nashville to play. What? I played in Texas and kind of... Yeah, so I went to Nashville. I was... Singing Woman got featured on the vinyl record for the Bitcoin Conference. Wow. Yeah, so I was really stoked on that. And there's a whole thing called "Bands at Bitcoin." I do value for value, which people can listen to my music for free and then donate whatever they think it's worth, art for art kind of a thing. So I went out there and did a show. And yeah, it was really, really cool to be able to play in Nashville officially. That's so cool. Yeah. That's cool. So you played a lot of gigs just like in California or San Diego. Yeah, mostly in San Diego and... well, San Diego, SoCal, just general area. You know, fairs and things like that. Then I cut my teeth playing up in Orange County at the Yacht Club with my dad doing like classic rock cover bands for like 10 years. And I've also played in Iowa because tumbleweed, his whole family lives in Iowa. And they have a farm out there and we like over COVID and stuff. We helped out with the farm. Well, his dad was going through like bone marrow transplant and stuff, which was so actually just truly... Okay, California girl becomes a cowgirl. Is there a big music scene in Iowa or like... I mean, I guess there's anywhere you look you can find. Yeah, so there's actually, so there's Des Moines. I follow it. The Des Moines like music group or music alliance out there. They have like a little niche scene. But in Garden Grove, Iowa is where they used to live. Their farm was there. And there's one nearby town that has like maybe 200 people or whatever. But they have some good friends that renovated this old Ben breakfast called the Lady Amber. And now it's called the Stag. And I mean, this like the one of their friends, he's like was a chef in Miami and they moved out to Garden Grove, Iowa and renovated this whole thing. And then we went and played there, which was super fun. It was really cool. And while we were playing this guy, this disabled veteran, he's probably like 85 years old. He rolls up to us and he goes, and he just looks at Tumbly and he goes, give me that guitar. And we were like, oh, okay. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And we handed it over to him and he plays the best Elvis. I mean, I'd ever heard. It was incredible. And he's just jamming. It was so awesome. It was super sick. So yeah, so we played a little bit in Iowa just because our family's out there and then Texas because I have like my parents live out in like Grandbury. And so we played for like the Shriner conventions and things like that for them. Yeah. So kind of take you to see everywhere, right? Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah. Have you ever met any famous people? Like big famous people? Big famous people. Other than Travis. Other than Travis. You know what? His ego doesn't need any help from being honest. Come on. I love you, man. The most famous person I met is Kirby, for sure. Kirby. Sweet curves. Thank you. So internationally known, unfortunately it's a video game here. Not actually me, but I do have a tattoo of it. Well, I used to play Kirby when I was on the green screen. That was my brother. He always played Kirby on Kingdom Hearts. I actually, so I have a weird story. So I was in Woody's Wharf in Newport Beach one night. I had played a little yacht club gig with my dad earlier that day. And my friend and I went out drinking and dancing. And she was a super fan. She's one of those people that's like, "Everyone has to hear my friends sing." And so she brought me outside. She got really drunk and told a bunch of people, "She sings. She's just singing today." And I was like, "Cool." I was like, "That's great." No one cares. But she goes, "No, you need to hear her." So we went out into this little walkway, little alleyway that's right outside for smoking, right? And a couple of random people were going to hear me sing a little something. So I sing, I think part of singing woman, actually. And this guy walks through the crowd and just everyone just drops silent. And then he turns to me and he goes, "You have a really fantastic voice." And then he just walks away. And we just, all the confidence in the world. And everyone just looks at each other and they're like, "Was that Zach Brown?" "Shout out." "Oh, that was Zach Brown?" "Yeah." "Wow." And I was like, "No, that couldn't have been." I mean, it looked like a lot like him, but I was like, "No way." And then actually he was, he had just played a show like really there. "Oh, that's awesome." "That's crazy." And everyone was like, "Oh, oh my God. Oh my God." And I just, I just said, "Thank you so much." And he just walked out into the distance and never saw him again. [laughter] So somewhere he thinks I have a good voice. "I'm Zach Brown." Yeah. "I agree with you, Zach." "I'm a big fan of Zach Brown, myself." Me too. Me too. Yeah. I've heard, I've heard like incidents of him like just going down like OB. Really? Yeah, I heard this interview with him, I don't know, a while ago. He's like, "Yeah, we were in San Diego." And they went down to OB, their whole little band, whatever. And a little band, whatever. A little big band. Their big, little band anyway. And they just were on the beach in OB. And they were just jamming around, jamming out. And all these people started coming around and it was freaking crazy. Yeah, his whole thing from the two seconds that I looked at him and just said, "Thank you, sir." His whole demeanor just really down to earth. That was super sick. Yeah, he's a cool dude. He does that whole thing with the challenged kids or whatever. That part thing that he put together. Where's that Georgia? I think it was. Yeah. For the disabled kids or whatever. That's awesome. He's a cool dude, man. I wish I could meet him. Honestly, I'd like to... Zach, we're on it for listening. We'd love to have you on the Outlaw Country Show. Yes. Yeah, if you ever come back to San Diego, my friend... Or big bands. I would love to sing Harmony with you. Oh, yeah. Man, their band has such good harmonies. Yeah. Every song they do. I'm hooked. I'm right now hooked on a song called Homegrown by them. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And it's such good harmonies. They have such good harmonies. So if you were like famous, like Zach Brown famous, would you still go to like the beach and like just go and perform for free and just play on the dirt? It's one of those things like you hear bands will go to like Pioneer Town and play at... Like, was it Pappy and Harriet's? Pappy and Harriet's out there. It's one of the places Cody Jinx was this year that we didn't get to go. Oh my gosh. I was so sad. Like, there's some people I really wanted to see out there. I've never been to that venue and I've always wanted to go. But yeah, you hear like, they'll just do like pop up. They'll just kind of hang out. It's like Palm Springs-ish area, yeah. Yeah. It's actually a Morongo Valley. Okay. Near the Joshua Tree National Park on the west side. Yeah. I got a funny story about that. You really? Yeah. So there was... Everybody knows of Coachella Fest and they know Stagecoach. Well, there's always that gap weekend in between. Every year Golden Voice tries to do something interesting and different in that gap weekend. What's Golden Voice like? Gold Voice is the producer. Oh, okay. It puts on Stagecoach and Coachella Fest. But they have that gap weekend in there. So they try to do another little mini show in there. And it's also just a spectacular. Well, one year it was Paul McCartney and like these legends, like mega legends, like Paul McCartney. They were doing this show for that gap weekend. And I lived in Palm Springs at the time. Anyway, that weekend I went up to Pappy and Harry. It's up there. And Paul McCartney's band walked in. What? It's just a hangout. And they went out to the bus and grabbed all their shit and came back in and played for everybody. Oh my gosh. It's the coolest thing. That's wild. That's so cool. And it's a really intimate bar if you've ever been there. I mean, it's not like a big venue. No. Yeah, it's very cool. I mean, Pappy and Harry, that place is legendary for stuff like that. That's crazy, man. Yeah, it's not... It's out the middle of nowhere. It's not like a huge venue venue. Yeah. It's just out the middle of nowhere. Man, that's wild, man. So, Sarah, if you were stranded on an island somewhere, man, stranded. Stranded. You got one song, one food, and one drink over those three things B. Oh, man. One song, one food, and one drink. Oh, man. Okay. Let's get the drink out of the way. We'll get the drink. I think Jen... I think Jen, that would be the general. It would be... If I could do a cocktail of gin and soda, so I would have water. So, technically, right? Okay. So, dehydrating while also hydrating. Okay. My favorite food is potatoes. Anything potatoes. I said anything cheese. So, that's fair. Some curly fries. You can make anything out of curly fries. You can make vodka potatoes. Yeah. Curly fries. I would be very happy with some gin. Curly fries. Jen, curly fries. And the one song that is on repeat 24 hours a day. Oh, man. The one song that I'm always just like, "Yes." Oh, man. I am so bad at this part. Trying to think of something I'm listening to just constantly. I think anything like you think, "Oh, my favorite song." And you're like, "Oh, yeah." But then you think 12 hours of it. And then you're like, "No." Yeah, after about 12 hours of it, yeah, you tend to go crazy. You've got to fix something. You've got to fix something. I think dearly departed Shaky Graves. Dearly departed. Dearly departed. Shaky Graves. It's a duet. And I just... Yeah, I love this song. Shaky... Is that the name of the group Shaky Graves? Yes, yeah. Shaky Graves. Who are the people? Who's the duet? Yeah. This one? It's this one. I cover the song a lot. All right, so you're on an island. You're like, "Yeah!" Yeah. I'm eating my curly fries, just popping them. Eating curly fries, drinking the gin. Yeah. And I'm just chilling. And I see the palm trees now. Yeah, she's a what-girl party. Yeah. She's like, "That's fine." She's going to be a perpetual state party of all the time. Curly-fryzed jib. It's also... It kind of reminds you about death a little bit, so you realize, you know, you're... You got to live now. Yeah. Eat your potatoes. Get your gin. Oh, it would be more... Yeah. It would be actually more aprove. I was like, "Vodka." Isn't that like made from potatoes? Yeah. Made from gin. Made from gin. So you can get resourceful. Well, the gin runs out. You can do vodka. There you go. That's why I brought potatoes. I'm picking a head. So double whammy. Endless supply of gin. So you're good on that. You don't have to do that. If you've got potatoes, you can make vodka. Yeah. I mean, it's... You can make anything out of the potatoes. And I won't have a potato famine, so it'll be great. Cut the eyes out, grow more potatoes. Oh, exactly. I'm going to turn it into a farmer. You guys always overthink this. That was great. At what point we said, "We've got to stop saying eyelid. It's going to be literally the glass box for the environment." Right. And then you have an endless supply. You hit a button and you've got a new window open. So if you have someone type in a service for all your friends. You've got one potato, you've got one jin drink, and you've got what else to do. Wait, wait, wait. How often is that box opening? Because if it's like every hour, I'm going to need more than one jin. I'm going to start accumulating potatoes so I can make my vodka. [laughter] And I'm sure if you're on an island, there's probably stuff to make rum. Yeah. Well, then pretty soon they're like, "Cokyn, where's this vodka coming from? It's pretty good. Oh, some guy in an island makes it. Let's go get that guy. This is pretty good vodka." It arrives on a raft. Yeah. Yeah. Once a week, he got a weak supply of vodka. Make sure plastic bags that wash your shore, that you fill up with water to float it out. Yeah. There's a message in a bottle. If you like my vodka. [laughter] Here's my corn more potatoes.
