For the first time, probably ever.

I don't know.

I have no idea what it sounds like.

Cause when Jay, but I've never known who I sounded like, you know, like even like, I've never made a record that I was like, this sounds like this.

Cause I would always be like,

you know, say dumb stuff and be like, what if Ryan Bingham and Kings of Leon got together and made a record?

What would that be like?

And then it'd be incredible, right?

But I can't like, that was a, it was dumb for me to probably say at the time because not capable of pulling that off.

But,

You know, I just, and this is also the first album that I was like, you know, I just didn't give a shit anymore.

I was like, man, I'm so tired of just kind of making an album and just tour, you know, and just like being like, oh, we got to cut a record.

Let's go cut a record and put a record out.

Like this one, I was like, no, we're going to New York.

But like we are at, we are doing this like this.

And we went and we did it.

And I don't know, it just, it was worth it.

It worked.

We had a game plan, and at the same time, we had zero game plan whatsoever.

Yes, and I had the songs I wanted to cut, and we literally went in, and the band had not heard any of them, and we just started playing them until they were all recorded, and we all had a take of one that we thought was good enough.
