But to me, I'm like, I say that because I'm like, how crazy is it that that song, like we celebrated that song going number one in a van.
Like, it just was like this rags to riches moment of just like how, what are the actual odds that you would get dropped, move to Texas, COVID happens, you keep putting out music and then eventually one becomes, I mean, it's still being played on the radio.
It was just, uh,
I don't know.
And, and hitting all those lows, you know, working at the pavement company, doing something I was terrible at, um, that I wasn't, you know, I wasn't passionate about just trying to get by like hitting those lows.
It, when I finally got back to playing music, even though we were losing money every night, like I was happier than I had been in a long time.
And I was like able to fully be, I was like just filled with gratitude that I was able to do what I love to do again.
And so, I don't know.
I tell that story not as like a
like, look at what this song did and how big this song is.
It's like the odds of that happening were so slim.
Like I really thought that maybe music for me, maybe, uh, maybe the, the fulfillment that I was looking for was going to just come from playing at the taco shop, you know?
And that was, that was maybe reality for me, but I was still going to do that.
Cause I, I learned through that process that like, I love this.
I have to do this for me.
but obviously super grateful that these songs have connected with people and I get to do this for a living and take care of my family.
It's a dream, man.
I saw you teasing a duet.
Have you announced that yet?
No.
