Hey guys, we are here with W from
0:01
Montgomery and Christa from Tiger Lily.
0:03
Hi. So good to see you guys. Um you
0:09
that's what they keep telling me, I
0:10
guess. I don't know.
0:12
Uh the son of John Michael Montgomery.
0:16
Yes, it's going to be a good time. It uh
0:18
you know, dad's a great guy and uh and
0:21
he is he's and he's a legend, you know,
0:23
so I mean he deserves to go out on that
0:25
high note in his hometown uh and do it
0:28
with his family. So, it's going it's
0:30
going to be a good time. Might get a
0:31
little emotional, but it's uh it's all
0:33
right. You know,
0:33
I was going to ask, are there going to
0:35
be some tears shed?
0:36
All the cry.
0:37
Yeah. Yeah. I'll tell you what, probably
0:39
not by him, but by literally everyone
0:41
else. He's like, I need to go home.
0:44
So, when you told him, "Dad, I want to
0:47
be a country," what did he say?
0:50
I don't think he was that happy about
0:51
it, to be honest with you. But, you
0:52
know, he uh he he look, they're going to
0:55
support me. him and my mom and those rob
0:57
any adventure that I go on. And uh I
1:00
think he knew I caught the music bug and
1:02
he didn't have a choice, you know.
1:05
It really is. Yes.
1:06
So you are getting married.
1:07
We are next year.
1:08
Next year. And you're both in the music
1:10
industry working out.
1:12
Honestly, it's been it's been so nice.
1:14
Everyone was like, "Don't date someone
1:16
in the music industry. It's terrible."
1:17
And all this stuff, but honestly, we
1:19
love it. And uh we're we're actually
1:21
gone at the same time. So we're home
1:23
like Monday through Thursday. And then
1:24
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we're out of
1:25
town doing shows. We actually spend a
1:27
lot of time together. But it's nice
1:28
because we understand what each other
1:30
does, but we can kind of talk about it
1:32
and then really kind of lay it at the
1:36
what is it? Lay it at the
1:39
I don't know. Everything we talk about,
1:42
we talk about music a little bit, but
1:44
it's not the center of our relationship.
1:45
So, I think that's what's important
1:46
about any collaboration.
1:48
If it happens naturally,
1:50
it happens naturally.
1:51
I don't know. I already have another I
1:53
already have another collaboration
1:55
partner and my sister. So she likes it.
1:58
Oh yes.
