So I went ahead and said to my boy up front, my tour manager was like, put nickel back on, put nickel. I just, I need something that's comforting. Put it on. 10 seconds later, I'm being driven out. I'm hopping on a stage and it's go time. But having that sense of normalcy and a comfort song coming on just to get me hyped up for that moment was awesome.

It's going to be different for everybody. And for me, man, I can come off and I can be on cloud nine and I can be like, that was a great show. But the thing that people don't see about me is that that athletic background and that killer instinct inside of me is never turned off. So I haven't shared this yet, but I played the Houston Rodeo and I came off the stage.

And I was so hell bent on myself about like, what did I do wrong? Or this moment was weird or this threw me off. And it's like coming off the field and playing a game. And you're like, I dropped that pass or I should have had this, or I should have had that. but that's what's going to make you better.

And that's what's going to... And it's that balance where it's like, hey, that was an awesome experience and that was incredible. And sometimes we're our worst critics, but I beat myself up so many nights because I'm just like, this could have been better or I messed up this or I missed this note or I did this because...

I am chasing my own form of perfection and I want to go out there and I want to impress the fans and I want to impress myself. I want to be proud of myself at the end of the day. So it was an awesome experience to go out there and do that. But coming off that stage, I was like, you know what? There's things we need to work on. There's things we need to fix.

But we, as people on the stage notice, and it's just that athletic background that I have, that I've very tough on myself.
