Brian: 01:23

Yep. Yep.

Paul: 01:23

So That's the wee little lad.

Brian: 01:25

Yeah. Yeah. So, My mom got remarried in Wisconsin up here, and then I sort of came up here with a few more of my siblings and

Chrissy: 01:32

Now, how many is there? You have quite a few siblings.

Brian: 01:35

Yeah. Yeah. I got seven.

Paul: 01:36

Seven? Shit. Dang.

Chrissy: 01:38

I knew there was a few, but I didn't know there was seven.

Brian: 01:40

That's right.

Chrissy: 01:41

So where are you?

Paul: 01:42

Brother to sister ratio.

Brian: 01:43

Yeah. We're split four and four, and I'm third youngest.

Chrissy: 01:46

Oh, okay.

Brian: 01:46

Yeah. Yeah.

Chrissy: 01:47

So who's How old is the youngest youngest then?

Brian: 01:50

The youngest is now 20.

Chrissy: 01:51

Okay. So pretty young, actually. Yeah. That's super cool. So Brian here sings I know you were supposed to guess, but if you didn't guess it, he sings fifties and sixties music.

Brian: 02:03

That's right.

Chrissy: 02:04

How the heck did you ever

Paul: 02:06

Right. Because

Chrissy: 02:06

you decide that that was your that that's the direction that you wanted

Paul: 02:10

to go. How many kids or how many anybody do you know this young sings fucking or even listens to Listens to shit in the fifties, sixties, seventies.

Chrissy: 02:20

How did you get started

Paul: 02:21

on that path? He's gotta be, like, an influencer.

Brian: 02:24

Oh, definitely. Grandfather.

Chrissy: 02:25

In front of her

Paul: 02:26

dad.

Brian: 02:26

Oh, yeah. So both my parents for sure. My dad was an Elvis tribute artist or impersonator. Oh, And he's been doing that for like thirty five years now.

Chrissy: 02:35

He still does it?

Brian: 02:36

Yeah. On the side. Okay. A little bit.

Chrissy: 02:38

Where does he play at?

Brian: 02:40

So, well, I think he goes all over to VFWs and Legions and that type

Chrissy: 02:44

of So it's like, Yeah. You're getting now to that age where

Brian: 02:48

Yeah.

Chrissy: 02:48

Not a lot of people even listen to that music anymore, so you've got to be pretty selective up to where you're even going to play.

Brian: 02:54

Oh, definitely. Yeah.

Chrissy: 02:55

Now, would you call yourself an Elvis impersonator?

Brian: 02:59

I I wouldn't. I think it's easier.

Chrissy: 03:01

Got that from people that you know. Right. They were like, he's an Elvis impersonator, but I didn't get that from the videos that I watched of you.

Brian: 03:08

Yeah. I just kind of accept it because it's probably an easier way for people to describe what I do. Okay.

Paul: 03:13

So Right.

Brian: 03:14

It doesn't bother me. Resonates with

Chrissy: 03:17

not wearing the jumpsuits or the jet black hair

Brian: 03:20

Right.

Chrissy: 03:20

Or any sideburns

Brian: 03:21

or anything like that.

Paul: 03:23

So I definitely or no? Not really?

Brian: 03:25

Not really. I I like I like doing these songs in my own style.

Paul: 03:29

Oh, okay.

Chrissy: 03:30

Yeah. So now why did you choose this genre of music? Yeah. I mean, I know that you grew up with it, I mean, the voice that I hear that you have, I mean, it's he's got an amazing voice. You could have went in any direction.

Brian: 03:43

So Oh, sure.

Chrissy: 03:44

Which why did you choose this?

Brian: 03:47

Yeah. A lot of influence from my mom as well, who just loves everything, fifties and sixties. And like, I watched the Elvis movies when I was young and just kind of got exposed to it. But also, like, I don't know, once I heard it, I just fell in love with it. You did.

Brian: 04:05

And I could never feel the same way about any other genre.

Paul: 04:08

Was just gonna say,

Paul: 04:11

is there any other like Yeah. With your voice, I mean, it's from what I've heard, it's fucking ridiculous. It's like, you can literally say anything. So it's like, you didn't have any incline to go anywhere else?

Brian: 04:22

Yeah. Not really.

Paul: 04:23

Try anything else? Have you tried anything else or

Brian: 04:26

Actually, I have. And I would say other

Chrissy: 04:28

young life's just thing besides all this stuff.

I'm a huge Marilyn fan.

Brian: 30:48

Oh, nice. I think I've only seen a handful of his movies, by the way too. Okay. But there's like 30 or something.

Paul: 30:54

That's crazy.

Chrissy: 30:55

Well, you know, I mean, I've read all the books and done all the history and watched the and stuff. He hated doing the movies, but it paid the bills,

Chrissy: 31:26

Does he have pictures and stuff like that? Or

Paul: 31:29

If he had, like, pictures or video of him just, like, hanging out with this motherfucker like, hey. What's up, selfie?

Chrissy: 32:14

it

Paul: 32:15

back in the day. Right? Yeah. Twenty years ago I know. We we had cell phones, but, like, nobody had those camera phones were, like, gritty fucking dirt band fucking shit.

Brian: 32:25

Yeah. You

Paul: 32:25

Paul: 32:30

Yeah. Terrible.

Chrissy: 32:31

He used to Jim used to get the the you buy them at holiday.

Paul: 32:35

Yeah. Yeah.

Chrissy: 32:36

Those fucking Kodak cameras that you throw away when you're done.

Paul: 32:39

I had them all over. Like, when I'd have parties, I'd just lay them out and just fucking get drunk and leave them around, and people

Chrissy: 32:45

would take random pictures.

Paul: 32:47

Hit the the funniest shit is, I would I remember this. So Bill's one hour photo was in the mall in Princeton where there was a haircut at Yeah. I know. And I'm like, hey, Whatever you can't print, just throw away.

Paul: 33:05

I'm like No.

Paul: 33:06

And he's like, alright. Whatever. And it's like some of the shit that I would get off of those, I'm like, you print this

Chrissy: 33:12

shit? Yeah.

Paul: 33:13

You dirty motherfuckers.

Chrissy: 33:14

In Elk River was back back in the day was really good about that too. Like, when Jim died

Paul: 33:19

Yeah. He printed fucking everything.

Chrissy: 33:21

Had nine cameras, like, throwaway cameras that were undeveloped.

Paul: 33:25

Yeah. Yeah.

Chrissy: 33:26

So I was like, I remember going into cobras. I'm like, you cannot not develop. I have no idea what's on these.

Paul: 33:33

Don't fuck this up. I need to see what's I on

Chrissy: 33:35

need to have every wife for that. Good about it. Yeah. They're like, this is

Paul: 33:39

You may see some shit. You

Chrissy: 33:40

don't wanna I had no idea. I mean, this was a span of probably six years of cameras. No shit? I have no idea what was on there anymore. I mean, so

Paul: 33:50

Chrissy: 33:51

The a little bit of this, a little bit of that, a lot of, you know, a lot of, you know, motorcycle stuff, friends. You know, just anything and everything when

Paul: 34:00

there's others.

Chrissy: 34:01

Paul: 34:03

Back when fucking

Chrissy: 34:07

I'm not shy when it comes to the

Paul: 34:08

cameras. Selfies

Paul: 34:10

were original.

Paul: 34:11

Yeah. You couldn't fucking delete them right off. You fucking got them. No. They didn't Snapchat.

Paul: 34:17

They didn't go away right away?

Chrissy: 34:19

Nope. They didn't go away. But I'm like, you cannot, like, throw anything away. You must develop everything on here. Because I had no idea what was happening.

Paul: 34:27

Right. Right.

Chrissy: 34:28

He did a lot. Before selfies were selfies, he was the master at selfies. Oh my god. Oh, the master at selfies. I was married before and he passed away in 02/2008, so that's why we're talking about that.

But Okay. Yeah.

Chrissy: 34:42

Brian: 34:45

He was

Chrissy: 34:45

doing selfies.

Paul: 34:46

Right. With

Chrissy: 34:47

fucking cameras. Going down the road, taking his fucking picture. Because I wasn't good at that. You know? And I he he felt like he never got his picture taken, because he was the one always taking pictures.

Paul: 34:58

Biggest tallest fucker.

Brian: 34:59

Yeah. And

Chrissy: 34:59

then He's taking pictures of himself going down the road. So

Brian: 37:26

the time. I don't

Brian: 37:36

Yeah.

Paul: 37:37

Like was like what you were doing with your parents or your fucking

Chrissy: 37:41

Yeah.

Paul: 37:42

Whatever. You were on vacation, and you heard that song. That's kinda why, like, most of my core music that I normally listen to is, like, nineties and later or whatever. But, like

Brian: 37:51

Yeah.

Paul: 37:52

If you're going core memories, it's when I was young with my parents, and it was, like, the eighties. Right?

Brian: 37:58

Like, born

Paul: 37:59

in '83. So it's like anything in the eighties, that's what I fucking gravitate towards.

Brian: 38:04

Yeah.

Paul: 38:04

I get Yeah. I get that or how you'd fucking gravitate towards

Chrissy: 38:08

Is there what what no. You said you've kind of been to the country music more than

Your hobbies hopefully are making you money and not costing See, you

Brian: 43:52

that's what

Brian: 44:09

And then

Chrissy: 44:09

Have you ever thought about trying out for these shows on TV, like American Idol or any of those? Have you ever thought about doing that?

Paul: 44:18

Yeah. I did. I feel like that wouldn't fucking like, the American Idol. Right? They're gonna want something fucking pop, something new, something

Chrissy: 44:26

they're not gonna

Paul: 44:26

want they

Chrissy: 44:27

go? Because that's what

Brian: 44:28

everybody does.

Chrissy: 44:28

Like, he went in there and did some fucking oldie.

Brian: 44:31

Yeah. Yeah.

Paul: 44:32

You know what? Yeah.

Chrissy: 44:33

Maybe. That might stand out.

Paul: 44:35

Maybe. Because

Chrissy: 44:35

I don't I've never heard anybody sing an Elvis song or whatever, you know, on American Idol or what's the other one? America's Got Talent. I don't know. Yeah. Or whatever.

Brian: 44:44

Yeah. I don't know. I've seen some people on there though that are like freaking Really?

Paul: 44:48

Good. Woah.

Chrissy: 44:49

Yeah. Yeah. But what I like about American Idol is Yeah. Even if you're you have the basics, then you have Yeah. The coaches that are freaking

Brian: 44:59

The coaches?

Chrissy: 45:00

That help you and stuff. Is that the one I'm thinking of?

Paul: 45:02

Well, Once

Chrissy: 45:03

Or the voice. The voice.

Brian: 45:04

Yeah. The voice. Adam

Paul: 45:05

Levine. Well, feel like American Idol is the same way, isn't it? Yeah. Have coaches. Past past the first round, like, they kinda they coach they coach everybody.

Paul: 45:15

I don't know how extensively, but

Chrissy: 45:17

Well, The Voice, they do very extensively. Oh, good. Actually pick you, and then they coach you, and then they have other coaches come in and like, fuck.

Paul: 45:25

Yeah. Yeah. I have thought

Brian: 45:27

about those shows, but then again, there's a whole lot of like, I don't know. If you got a job

Paul: 45:32

If you

Chrissy: 45:32

don't try

Brian: 45:33

you down.

Chrissy: 45:34

S You never know.

Brian: 45:34

You only live once. Right?

Paul: 45:36

And it's like, I always thought They

Chrissy: 45:38

never I think it was American Idol and The Voice were just in the Twin Cities. I think it was like, happens

Brian: 45:44

No kidding.

Paul: 45:45

Say so, like, right? Say you make it. Right? You get picked and you go on. Are you gonna pay your bills?

Paul: 45:50

You still got bills at home you gotta pay. So it's like, pays those bills? What do you do? Yeah.

Chrissy: 45:55

I don't know. I think during

Brian: 45:56

this

Chrissy: 45:56

time, they still do I I mean, I guess I don't know, but somebody's paying you to be on that show. I would imagine

Paul: 46:03

I feel like they I guess they don't I feel like either your family's gotta step up or someone, friends, family, I feel like someone would have to step up because

Brian: 46:11

I think so.

Paul: 46:12

They might give you a couple $100, but I guarantee it's probably not enough to pay your mortgage, your electric, electric, your your septic, your whatever the fuck. Yeah. You don't know. Right?

Chrissy: 46:21

They should be paying people to be on there as they continue to go because, obviously Well, it's But I don't know. Do they go home during the week?

Paul: 46:29

At least the bare minimum for them to fucking compete and stay. You know? Because it's like, otherwise, how is the person supposed to do that? Unless you're

Chrissy: 46:38

I get it.

Paul: 46:39

16 laying at home and you don't have no bills. Right.

Brian: 46:41

Yeah.

Paul: 46:41

That's the only way you're gonna be able to do that shit.

Brian: 46:43

Yeah.

Paul: 46:44

You're a grown ass man like yourself, 27. Yep. You got fucking

Chrissy: 46:47

It's got bills.

Electric. You got mortgage. You got fucking this, that, car payments. I mean So it's like

Chrissy: 46:52

Sweet bitch.

Paul: 46:53

How do you fucking do that?

Brian: 46:54

Yeah. You gotta gotta drop your responsibilities.

Chrissy: 46:57
