What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
100%. Cheers.
His new album, Darling Blue, is incredible from the second you start it. This is your third album? Fourth.
Yeah, it's like the seventh.
Seventh? It's the third album I've bought. Marcus King. Good to see you, man. Good to see you, brother. So good to see you. Every time I see you, I smile. But every time I see you, I sometimes wonder if you go, oh, fuck, it's Bert.
Never. No.
Remember the
last time I saw you? Was that at the Floribama?
No, no, no. That was... That was fun. That was so fun. And you had to explain to me how singing on stage worked.
Yeah. Do you remember that?
No, we ran it. Go ahead. Tell everyone how it works.
I mean, it's a lot like this, you know? It's just, you just got to project a little bit more. And what did we do? We did Love Light.
Yeah.
It was a lot of fun.
It was so fun. Floribama is on the border of Florida and Alabama. It's called Floribama. They're big known for our mullet toss every year. And we had done fully loaded that night at whatever the stadium was. The Wharf. The Wharf Amphitheater. And then everyone went down. It was our last night on tour. I ended up naked in the ocean with the Navy SEAL. My daughters were there. My daughters were blown away. I mean, my daughters are like... One daughter really likes music. The other one, I think likes the culture of music.
Does
that make sense?
That does make sense.
Neither of them like Southern rock though. They're both into like, Georgia is just discovering it. Why is Southern rock the best out of all the rocks?
I'm partial to it just because, you know, I think the best Southern rock bands are the ones that aren't trying to be Southern rock. They're just rock and roll bands that happen to be from the South. So it just kind of adds a little extra gravy to it, you know. It's not overly complicated. You know, it's really just rock and roll. There's nothing really too different about it other than just the region from which it comes from.
Because it's not country, right?
No, I mean, it's a pretty close relative to country music,
you know? It seems like kissing cousins. Absolutely. Or kissing brother and sisters in country. Because, like, Laney Wilson slides on so seamlessly. And then someone like Billy Strings, who is traditionally bluegrass, fits on so well. But at the end, is it your voice or is it the chords?
Man, you know, that bluegrass thing is just... It's really interesting how popular that's become because that was such a niche style of music for so long. And now we got, you know, bluegrass artists acting like they're the Rolling Stone and it pisses me off. Because I'm like, you guys were real nerds in high school and now you're like these big rock stars and it's frustrating. But I mean, bluegrass is like rock and roll now. There's stadiums being sold with bluegrass, which is interesting to me. But yeah, I guess rock and roll is more in your personality, I reckon.
Yeah, it's more – it's like I remember someone told me – no one's going to understand this. Someone told me I had a hard time clicking with alt comics, like the alternative scene, the more – I guess now you'd just say now it's just conservative and liberal, I guess, the two.
Well, the alt comics are like no physical comedy, right? They're like really against any kind of –
Yeah. Tropes. Yeah, they're very against any trope. And I want what they're doing to be different, to be against the grain. Which, you know, I always enjoyed. And I always felt like Louis C.K. was an alternative comic.
And
I felt like Mitch Hedberg was an alternative comic. Janine Garofalo is obviously an alternative comic. But it's... I remember someone saying, I was like, why do they dislike me so much? And they, I mean, they really, it would be aggressive.
What is the story behind the Southern‑rock discussion and creating your own lane?
If I went into a green room, no one would talk to me. People would say weird things to me and I'd make me feel uncomfortable. And someone said, it's because you're doing what they do, but better because I am a storyteller. And in essence, they all wanted to be, and I wasn't doing traditional stand-up. I still don't do traditional stand-up.
