And I, I think that that's a trait that can only be learned by playing live and being in the amongst the moment. Right. So I wish those kids the best of luck. I mean, we're going to see a ton of those kids coming upon us, you know, all the time. So.

Pleasure, man. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, Coe Wetzel. Have a great day and thank you very much. Hey, Country Thunder music fans. So we just finished up this interview with Ko Wetzel. And I just want to have a little sidebar with you. You weren't sitting here with me looking him in the eyes. And I'm telling you, he's one of the new absolute outlaws of country music.

And I think he pushes the genres of different types and styles of music that is so refreshing to country music in a whole. And his spirit is something that reminds me of Waylon Jennings and the Johnny Cash era and the Highwaymen and Willie Nelson. He just has the spirit of fun and going out and playing music, rolling down the road, having some cocktails. Really interesting gentleman.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a very special edition of On the Bus. Today, we are going off the topic of artists, and we're going behind the scenes. It's a real special place to go. I have three of the most high-profile agents in show business who are... I'm very honored to have them here today.

And they're old friends, and we have some discussions that I think are going to be pretty interesting to see how the process works and how artists get booked on shows and the trials and tribulations of putting on an event. And these are the guys who make it happen. So I'd like to introduce Rod Essek from CAA.

He is the godfather, and there is no doubt about that. Nick Ninema from Action Entertainment, and Kurt Motley from UTA. I'm going to start with Kurt. So, Kurt, you have a very interesting story, how you got into show business. So, Kurt's roster was, unfortunately, we lost Toby Keith, and Kurt had been Toby Keith's agent for how many years, Kurt?

30 years. And Kurt has other rosters. Jamie Johnson, who is a other artist who are on his roster. Oliver Anthony. Oliver Anthony. Never could get that right. See, he's too much money. That's why I always keep forgetting his name. Sawyer Brown in America. And Sawyer Brown. So you have a very interesting story. Early in the 90s, you were a maintenance guy. Among others.

Well, that's awesome. Rod, obviously, we're going to do age first. And Nick, since you're the youngest one, you go last. But, Rod, I want to ask you how you got your start in show business. I know you're from Minneapolis. And how did that start?
