00:00Hey there, I'm Andy Summers with Dust It Letch!
00:03We're at Tidal Wave, and we're looking forward to a fantastic show from you.
00:08So do not disappoint us, please.
00:10I promise I won't.
00:11Okay, well good.
00:12I'm feeling really good.
00:13I slept well.
00:14I woke up, I didn't party last night.
00:16I'm sorry, are you here?
00:17Gas is in the tank.
00:18No, I was in New York.
00:19Okay.
00:20Got a lot of gas in the tank.
00:21Terrific.
00:22And it's all gonna come out on stage tonight.
00:23So is that normally how it works for you?
00:26That you're like not going out partying?
00:29I try to lay low on the road, yeah.
00:32There's nothing more I love than playing music, so I don't want to be any less than 100% when I get up there.
00:37Is that a habit you had to grow into, or is that a habit you adopted early on?
00:41I think early on I was playing a lot of frat parties and things like that, right?
00:47But I was driving too, so I would drive to the venue, set the show up, play the show, then I would pack it up and then drive back.
00:53So I don't know, it's just one of those things that's kind of always been baked in.
00:57Yeah, that's smart.
00:58Yeah.
00:59That's because I feel like you can-
01:00Now the last show of the weekend, every now and again.
01:01Okay.
01:02Woo!
01:03Around the country you have friends and they've been saving up all year to party with you.
01:06Yeah.
01:07Yeah, it's fun.
01:08That is fun.
01:09And I'll bet you have friends everywhere.
01:10At this point, yeah.
01:11Because we've been touring for the better part of a decade now.
01:14Oh.
01:15Can you believe that?
01:16Can you believe that?
01:17Yeah, we have friends all over the country.
01:18It's so much fun to link up, you know, at least once a year.
01:22You know, we'll come through at least somewhere close enough they can drive to.
01:26Tonight, we've got some friends that flew in, you know, for the show.
01:29So, this is, Tanaway's awesome.
01:30Yeah.
01:31I mean, country music on the beach, how do you do that?
01:32I know.
01:33It doesn't get much better than that.
01:34Yeah.
01:35And Atlantic City is so ready for you.
01:36Yeah.
01:37The place is just buzzing.
01:38Will you get to spend time here and do something besides just jump on stage and perform?
01:42Well, I've been, yeah, I've been floating around all day.
01:44So, I went out and watched a couple new artists on the next national stage.
01:47Right.
01:48That's the good thing about the cowboy hat.
01:49I threw on swim trunks and a backwards ball cap.
01:51And I've literally been out front in the crowd most of the day.
01:54So, got to watch Haley Witters out front.
01:56Dylan Scott was out there, too.
01:57Had a couple drinks watching him.
01:58So, I've had a full day already.
02:00You have.
02:01Yeah.
02:02And now you have to perform.
02:03So, you're not too tired, are you?
02:04Not at all.
02:05No.
02:06I haven't even started pre-gaming yet.
02:07All right.
02:08All right.
02:09Well, this might knock you off your rocker a little bit.
02:10Okay.
02:11I've got the Andy Summers 7.
02:12Oh.
02:13Seven hard-hitting questions.
02:14Let's go.
02:15That you must really pour over before we get an answer.
02:19Okay.
02:20Are you ready?
02:21I am ready.
02:22Number one, invisibility or teleportation?
02:25Woo!
02:26That is tough.
02:27I think teleportation.
02:28Yeah?
02:29Yeah.
02:30I wouldn't want to, I don't know, invisibility.
02:31Then you hear people say things that you normally wouldn't hear them say.
02:34And then you're stressing out about everybody.
02:35That's my daughter.
02:36She and I were just having this conversation in the car on the way over here.
02:39And that is exactly what we were saying.
02:41Yeah.
02:42I'd like to teleport.
02:43That'd be fun.
02:44Yeah.
02:45You just avoid traffic.
02:46Yeah.
02:47Get off stage here.
02:48Then I can teleport somewhere else and get back on stage.
02:49That'd be awesome.
02:50So great.
02:51Okay.
02:52If you were a baseball player, what would your walk-on song be?
02:53Wow.
02:54That's a great question and it's never happened to me before.
02:56Can't touch this MC Hammer.
02:58Nice.
02:59That was one of my favorite songs.
03:00Did you dance?
03:01I had the parachute pants and all.
03:02Yeah, you did.
03:03Back in the day.
03:04Fantastic.
03:05All right.
03:06You can only choose one, air conditioning or deodorant.
03:08AC all the way.
03:09Really?
03:10Yeah.
03:11Oh yeah.
03:12I don't know.
03:13Recently, I've gotten a little bit scared of deodorant and sunscreen.
03:16All these reports are popping around on social media about this is bad for you and on whatever.
03:21I figure, you know what?
03:22I can just go in the bathroom.
03:23Just go natural.
03:24Watch the pits a little more and pass the AC.
03:26Soap it up.
03:27Yeah.
03:28Yeah, exactly.
03:29Okay.
03:30You can only choose one thing for the rest of your life.
03:31What is it?
03:33Wow.
03:34One thing only.
03:35Yeah.
03:37So there's a couple different ways that you can approach this.
03:39I can have nothing else other than this one thing?
03:41Just this one thing.
03:42So you can have like the fun answer.
03:43Wow, I'm going to die slowly.
03:44Like I would say Oreos.
03:45That would be my fun answer.
03:46Yeah.
03:47Right?
03:48Or you can come up with something.
03:49Like your favorite food and just die on it.
03:51Right.
03:52Chicken chimichanga.
03:53Yeah.
03:54Yeah.
03:55I love my Mexican food.
03:56Good deal.
03:57Awesome.
03:58I would go with that.
03:59Because the other way is to say like a hoagie and then you could like maybe just eat the
04:02turkey one day.
04:03Maybe just eat the salami one day.
04:04Interesting.
04:05Right?
04:06Like you could, there's a couple different ways that you could approach that.
04:07I guess with the chimichanga I'm getting my carbs and my protein.
04:09Okay.
04:10So I'm good.
04:11Yeah.
04:12I didn't expect it.
04:13So that was nice.
04:14Um, what's the best show to stream right now?
04:16What are you watching?
04:17I'm watching alone.
04:18Do you know this one?
04:19Oh yes.
04:20So 10 people are in the middle of nowhere filming themselves and the last man standing
04:24wins a half a million.
04:25It's amazing.
04:26They're all survival experts and watching them just make shelters and catch fish.
04:31It's remarkable, right?
04:32It's incredible.
04:33Yeah.
04:34Learn a lot.
04:35I don't know.
04:36I love the outdoors.
04:37Like I live to be outside and hunting fish and I still think I would only make it a
04:40few days.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Cause I don't know how to do, you know, I like my AC at night.
04:46Right.
04:47Well, obviously.
04:48I like to go hunt and then come back, have a warm shower.
04:49Cause you don't care if you stink, but you want to be cool.
04:51Yeah, for sure.
04:52I mean, they're impressive.
04:54I love that show.
04:55Um, okay.
04:56Who were you star struck to meet?
04:59Um, I'm trying to think of most recently who I've met.
05:02That was, that kind of shook me a little bit.
05:05It's tough these days.
05:07I've met a lot of fun people and get along with a lot of fun people.
05:10I mean, um, first time, maybe when you first got to Nashville.
05:17First time to Nashville.
05:18Okay, let's go there.
05:20This is, this is the first country singer I met in Nashville was Vince Gill.
05:24Oh, I would say I was star struck.
05:26Yeah.
05:27Cause I moved to Nashville and wanted to do music.
05:28So I got to meet Vince Gill and I'm like, this is my chance.
05:31And he was super sweet.
05:32We were at a charity golf tournament.
05:34Um, and he's, he was, he was like, man, come check out these new clubs I got.
05:38He was so cute.
05:39That's awesome.
05:40Brought me over to his trunk and showed me his clubs.
05:41And I was like, is this where he gives me your record deal?
05:43And it wasn't.
05:44Darn it.
05:45Try again, Vince.
05:46You missed out.
05:47All right.
05:48Last question.
05:49This is number seven.
05:50Most epic Halloween costume you've ever had.
05:53Um, wow.
05:56I had a really good one this past Halloween.
05:58Yeah.
05:59I was, I was in makeup for like an hour and a half.
06:01I was this, uh, I was a dressed up.
06:05Um, what was I?
06:07Skeleton, I guess.
06:08Okay.
06:09Um, but I had a, I had a lady come over and do makeup.
06:12She did it for like an hour and a half.
06:13And then I went, um, Kane had a Halloween party.
06:16I was going to say, I think that every now that you're mentioning this, I feel like I saw these pictures on Instagram.
06:20Yeah.
06:21They had a Halloween party.
06:22So I was like, man, I got to show up and.
06:23That's cool.
06:24And do something fun.
06:25So I did that.
06:26That's probably my best one yet because of the dedication.
06:28Now, growing up, my mom made all my costumes.
06:30And I think my favorite one she did was, uh, I was a werewolf.
06:34She like sewed on all the spur on my hands and everything.
06:38So that's probably number two.
06:39Okay.
06:40Yeah.
06:41Very good.
06:42Dustin Lynch, you're awesome.
06:43Hard questions.
06:44I know, right?
06:45I'm glad I made it through those.
06:46Me too.
06:47I had, I had faith in you.
06:48Um, we are having so much fun at tidal wave.
06:50So thanks so much for being with us.
06:51Anytime.
06:52Here at 925x to you.
