Question: Y’all officially moved to Nashville right?
Larry Fleet: “Yeah, we moved to Nashville, almost a year ago now. I bought some land and I bought a little old house that it was on this land, and I drew plans that were trying to redo it because it was. What some might call a tiny house, which was not going to be big enough for us. And so we drew up any plans. We were going to, you know, build this, this cool thing, and then the codes and all the stuff in our little town there didn’t work out. And so, I was fortunate enough that I was able to sell the little house back to the guy that sold it to me, which is good at the time. And then I was like, well, what are we going to do now? So we searched around for a house and my brother does some real estate on the side, and he said, hey I know a house they might want to sell. It’s not on the market. I said, let’s go look at it. So we went over and, talked to these people and they said, well, we’d be up for selling it. And, I looked at it and it was the exact house that we were that we drew up. And I said, what are the odds? And it was sitting on a little bit of land and. So I bought it, and, we love it. It’s our house, and it feels like home. And so we got my neighbor. He’s a he’s a songwriter, and, Cody Johnson’s producer, which is kind of cool. So we got multiple songwriters and stuff on the street, so it’s kind of a cool place to live.”

Question: Do you have any traditions with the band?
Hailey Whitters: “My band and I have a road tradition, so it’s called The Rule of the fishbowl. And if we ever stumble on a bar on the road and the bar serves fish bowls, we have to have them. Everyone in the band has to have a fish bowl. It’s a rule any time. So we do that. We got pretty, pretty lit in Columbus. I think one fish bowl turned into three, and we were all feeling really, really bad the next day. Luckily, it was an off day. We weren’t playing a show, but, the rule of fishbowl, man. It bites.”

Question: Why do you love this song so much?
Ashley Cooke: “Oh man, honestly, I love this song so much because not only do I see people like responding to it and connecting to it so much, which is such a big deal as an artist to have a song people use as their anthem. But for me, it’s such a pivotal point of regaining your strength. Like, you know, I’ve been in relationships kind of on and off before, and this song was really the moment that I put my foot down to say no, like, this is where I draw the line. He treated me terribly. It ain’t your place anymore to know this. And so it really kind of signifies regaining your strength after a bad relationship. And that’s important for anybody to have that kind of anthem for that time of their life.”

Question: Do the kids have their own bunk?
Larry Fleet: “Yeah, well. And he has his own boat and he wants to sleep on the top, but we make him sleep on the bottom, because if he falls out, it won’t hurt his bad. And there’s a good chance he will fall out of it. So he falls off of everything. But, so he’s on the bottom, and then Stella see she got her own bunk, but she wants to sleep with mama. And so, usually instead of me, getting to sleep in my own bed in the back, I usually have to pick a bunk out, which is right next to Waylon. And then me and him sit and talk when he’s supposed to go to sleep. He wants to talk about everything. So we lay there and look at each other and sit and talk all night, and then finally have to fight him to go to sleep, you know.”
