Question: Tell me about writing “cowgirls”
ERNEST: “The idea for the song Cowgirls came from Beth Dutton. The episode where she decides to get back on the horse and start riding again. And for whatever reason, that night I was just like, that’s badass. And then the next day, we brought in the idea of long live cowgirls, because I thought to myself, long live cowgirls when she was just riding a wild horse again.”

HARDY: “Six Feet Under is a song that I wrote for my wife surrounding the, time of the bus accident and then the wedding that followed the bus accident and just how emotional it was, and happy I was to be there.

Question: Tell me about the vibe of writing “your place”
Ashley Cooke: “Yeah, it was super easy to write that day. I actually had the idea of your place and the kind of flip on the hook of it at your place, like your apartment, your house to kind of, you know, wrap into it as a songwriter, loving those double meanings. And so I brought that into the room with Mark and Jordan, and it just honestly was such an easy song to write. It flowed super well. We were playing with, Mark’s goldendoodle the whole time. Just it was a really easy song to write, and that’s a good sign of a good song. So.”

Question: Congrats you just got a tour bus!!
Ashley Cooke: “I love her. We named her Pearl. She’s just like a big white bus. It kind of looks like the the whale from SpongeBob is. We named her Pearl. But I my own little bedroom in the back, and it’s it’s a really good time. And it’s a good way to rest on the road, which, you know, we basically live on the road at this point. So it’s like our home on the road.”

Question: Tell me about this Health nut kick..
Larry Fleet: “Well, the health nut thing is a it’s a movement, really. I started me and my bass player Crazy Legs. If you’ve ever been to one of my shows, you know, my bass player, he’s. He’s got his own fan group over there. He’s. He looks like Gumby out there and around. His legs are all over the place. He dances. He’s he’s a he’s a right. I love him and he’s been with me the longest of anybody. And back when I was playing bars and I could barely afford to pay him at all anything. He was with me and he’s been with me through the whole thing. And so. The health nuts come from me and him sitting around, I guess around, you know, Covid times and maybe a little bit before that. And I said, hey, look, we need to go exercise or something. Let’s get out and do something. So he had a mountain bike and I went and got me one, and we just decided we were going to go round trails around Chattanooga. I was living in Chattanooga at the time, so we, met up and there was a parking lot, and it was a Whole Foods. Neither me or him have ever been into a Whole Foods, but I was like, let’s just meet there. It’s a good parking lot. And so I did an Instagram story and I was like, look at those health nuts hanging out the Whole Foods. And, you know, here we are. And so we. That’s how it began. And then we we get on the bikes and we rode around and we were just kind of being goofy at first and. Both of us are really out of shape and and Eric go crazy legs. He will have to pull over and smoke cigarets to catch his breath, you know, from time to time. But, it became a thing and we started doing that almost every day.”
