00:00All right, ladies and gentlemen, we've got a QYK Guitar Pole alumni on the phone.
00:04He is a Texas boy.
00:06He's played at the Houston Rodeo, which is an insane honor as a Texan.
00:10Ladies and gentlemen, Parker McCullough.
00:13What's up, man?
00:14Not too much, but dude, this is the first time we are talking to you
00:17because last time we saw you, you were just an engaged man.
00:20Now you are a married man, so congratulations.
00:23Oh, thank you very much, man. I appreciate that.
00:25Now, it looked beautiful from the pictures we saw.
00:27Were there any hiccups, though?
00:29Were there any things you had planned that maybe day of, things went awry a little bit?
00:34No, man. I was as sick as a dog, but my adrenaline took over.
00:38Everything went off without a hitch, man. It was pretty good.
00:41Oh, wow. You were sick? Oh, that's too bad.
00:44I was so sick.
00:45But honestly, once everything got going, I was fine.
00:48But as soon as it was over, we went to the hotel.
00:50We slept the next morning. I was hurting, but it was such a great day.
00:54I honestly didn't even realize.
00:55Did you guys do the honeymoon right after, or did you have to get back on tour?
00:58No, I took a few days off. We went on the honeymoon and then got back on the bus the day we flew back.
01:04So it wasn't too long.
01:05Well, we are going to see you soon, man. You're going to be here next Saturday at Janice Live.
01:10Sold out show!
01:12Looking forward to it.
01:13This is what Parker is used to. He sells out shows, man.
01:16I mean, you're a great show.
01:17I obviously got to see you when I lived in Texas multiple times at Whitewater Amphitheater.
01:22Now you can't even get into one of those shows.
01:24It's like three days straight he sells these things out.
01:26So it's a good problem to have.
01:28Absolutely, man.
01:29Have you had to change any approach, not necessarily musically, but playing to bigger crowds now?
01:36Have you had to change the way you do shows and present yourself on stage?
01:40No, sir. No, sir. Just walk out there and swing it.
01:43I love that.
01:44That is a true George straight weight right there.
01:45Yeah, and man, there's always one of those, but any kind of nugget you can steal from him, you're all good.
01:52We're talking to Parker McCollum right now.
01:53He's going to be at Janice Live a week from tomorrow.
01:57And I'll tell you, man, you absolutely crushed it at our QIK guitar poll last year.
02:01And let me tell you, man, a lot of people in this town, after hearing you live and hearing your voice fill the Mahaffey Theater,
02:07they were like, I knew he was good, but he is really good.
02:11I mean, especially when he's saying hell of a year, people were pumped on that.
02:15And actually, some Stanley Cup champions who were in the house, and Patty Maroon for the Lightning, he mentioned it as well.
02:22Oh, man, I'll take that. Come on, that's a good problem to have.
02:25He was so fired about it, the next day, before they even dropped the puck, he got in a fight at the game, no joke.
02:32Man, well, I'm glad I could have assisted him in some way.
02:34Yeah, hell of a year. He goes, you know what, it has been hell of a year.
02:39Let me just knock someone in the teeth right now.
02:41Yeah, better him hitting them than hitting me.
02:43Yeah, exactly.
02:45Well, listen, you know, you've already done pretty well with To Be Loved By You and Pretty Heart.
02:49We've got your new single now, Handle On You. This is a good one.
02:53Oh, thank you, guys. I hope so, man. I love the song and really enjoyed writing it with my buddy, Monty Criswell,
02:59and just hope the rest of the world enjoys it, too.
03:01Well, a sold-out crowd is a good sign for that, man.
03:04So we will see you, like I said, a week from tomorrow, Janice Live.
03:08Hopefully they'll let us in because it is sold out. We're not sure.
03:12Maybe we can throw you a text or something. We'll figure it out, I guess, when you get here.
03:15Yeah, man, anything y'all need us to do, we will accommodate, no problem.
03:20I think everybody will show up ready to swing it with us, so we're looking forward to it.
03:25Well, congrats to you and your new wife. That is awesome, man.
03:28Nothing but the best, and we'll see you soon, all right?
03:31Yes, sir. Appreciate you guys. Have a great day.
