00:00Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
00:23Napa. I'll be in Napa for the 4th of July, so yeah. What are you doing? What's the plan? Drink,
00:28drink, bye-bye, have a little wine, yeah. For me, it just happens to be right in our backyard.
00:34There's a stream, a little part of the Little Harpeth River there that is kind of my little
00:40paradise. And my wife walks our dogs there every day, but when I go, the dogs get to go in the
00:45river. I'm a beach girl, so like find me by the water, west coast, east coast, it doesn't matter.
00:52But I do love California and I love Virginia Beach, where I grew up, my hometown. I love
00:56where I'm from, Patoka, Illinois, it's a town of 500. And you know, they always do this,
01:01this thing out in the country where, where I grew up, it's called Cracker's Neck,
01:06which is crazy to think about. But there's like, we all get together on the 4th of July,
01:11and I haven't been in years because I'm always playing out on the road, but that's,
01:15that holds a special place in my heart. I'll just say my hometown, Lebanon, Indiana, we do
01:20the biggest 4th of July. I mean, they have like this parade shuts down the whole town,
01:25we got concerts going on, we got a fair, it's just a huge, huge thing. And so growing up,
01:29that's what we did. Okay, so on our last tour, we did Zion National Park. Me and Seth did a long
01:37bike ride, and it was absolutely gorgeous. It looked like we were on another planet. It was
01:42amazing. Good morning, Liberty Hill, South Carolina. You know who you are. Liberty Hill,
01:48I don't know if you've ever heard of it. The people, the food, oh my god, the food.
01:54We get to go and just let our redneck flag fly, okay? The beach, we have a couple spots.
02:02One is in Perdido, which is like in between Pensacola and Gulf Shores. Alabama. I don't
02:07know if you've heard of the floor Bama. Oh, yeah. But that's like where I cut my teeth playing shows
02:11like some of my first shows. I grew up a couple hours from there. Freedom, baby. Freedom, baby.
02:21America was built on dreams. It was built on dreamers. And that's something I've felt my
02:26whole life. My parents are, you know, self-made, like, have never worked a nine to five, just kind
02:32of gone out and done their thing and made it work. And I think growing up in that environment
02:35and realizing that you can do anything you put your mind to in this country, because we have
02:39that freedom, is everything. You know, I've traveled a lot overseas and I feel like I always
02:43come back and I'm just so grateful for how our country is run. Just the things that we take
02:50for granted that not everybody has and you just go, wow, we are blessed to live here.
02:54How different everything is. I mean, you can be in Florida and be in the sunshine and it's all flat
03:01and then you can drive and be in Arizona and it's, you know, orange and mountainous and there's
03:09nothing flat about it. And then you can be, you know, in Colorado up on a mountain and it's you
03:16can go snow skiing. Honestly, just the freedom and the the dream, the dream chasing that America
03:24culture, American culture has. And about America, man, I love how, you know, especially country
03:29music, music brings people together no matter what. You can have this side, this side, way over
03:34there, way over there. And music just tends to bring everyone together in America and I think
03:39in the world too. Broad, expansive, what you want, you can find. We just toured Europe and they have
03:46that to some degree. But when you're in a certain country, a lot of the country looks like that
03:50country. This country, you want your desert, find your desert. You want your mountains, find your
03:55mountains. What I love the most about America is the food, the food, the food, the food. There's
04:02just something about the optimism of America that you see and you're seeing it so much now with
04:06social media. Like you have a good idea, it can change your entire world. It's so cool. Whether
04:11it's a song idea or business idea, entrepreneur, the ability to just have an idea and chase after
04:16it and get it is unbelievable. It's such a cool way to be able to live. You get to be who you
04:21want to be. And even if you don't like it, you get to be that in America. America. Chris for
04:26president. We should right now. Yeah, I think we'd be great. Lucas and Brussels almost sounds
04:33law firm ish. It's two presidents. No one's ever. It's never happened before. Yeah. Put our ages
04:38together. That's one president. I volunteer to be the VP so I can just party a lot. Yeah, yeah,
04:42yeah. I just want to party a lot. Let it let you handle things. Yeah. You'll do the national affairs
04:47secretary defense thing. We don't need one. I got it.
