I have to tell you you made the Jim and Pam reference and I actually am going to OfficeCon the final OfficeCon. I'm obsessed. So this is kismet. You guys just said that yes.

Jay Franze: 2:24

MacKenzie Leigh: 2:26

So, fingers crossed, steve Carell shows up. We'll see.

Jay Franze: 2:29

Nice, where is such an event?

MacKenzie Leigh: 2:32

It's in New Jersey this year. They travel the whole country. I've never been to one, but when I heard it was the last one I figured I'd miss it. What I've never been to one, but when I heard it was the last one, I figured I'd miss it.

Jay Franze: 2:42

What would you look forward to the most?

MacKenzie Leigh: 2:44

I bought a VIP pass for myself so I wouldn't have to wait in line to meet people, which is cool, I will say, hoping for the Jims, the Pams, angela and Dwight. I've already signed on, so very excited about that. And then, obviously, kevin Gotta meet Kevin.

Jay Franze: 3:01

Angela and Dwight. They they got nothing going on. You know they're going to be there.

MacKenzie Leigh: 3:05

Oh, come on, they got everything going on.

Jay Franze: 3:07

You've seen the.

MacKenzie Leigh: 3:07

AT&T commercials they're busy.

Jay Franze: 3:09

That's what I'm saying. I'd want to meet Pam, for sure.

MacKenzie Leigh: 3:14

Oh yeah, I'm excited to meet all of them.

Tiffany Mason: 3:17

Absolutely.

Jay Franze: 3:18

I'd be okay with just pam.

Tiffany Mason: 3:21

I would actually like to meet ned ed nelm ed nelm ed helms. Thank you, yes he's the singer, he's the best one he's the singer and he was in the hangover and I just think that he's probably like uh, I don't know, I just feel like he probably is funny. I just like funny people, so he's's probably funny, fair. I agree. Yeah, all right.

Tiffany Mason: 3:44

Cool. But I will say, sean, oh, my husband will not allow us to watch any of the Office episodes where Andy is the main boss. Okay, if you read the descriptions, it has to say Michael, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

MacKenzie Leigh: 4:06

And then he's like, okay, we can watch that one. He only likes the originals. Please tell me you guys are watching the super fan episodes on peacock. We tried, I don't know. Okay, oh, my god changed my life, amazing. I'll give it another deleted scenes in one. It's amazing. Sponsored by peaconsored by Peacock.

Tiffany Mason: 4:23

We're not, but if Peacock wants to reach out to us, jfranzycom.

Jay Franze: 4:28

We have a new manager. I like that, fantastic. Well, ms New Manager, let's dive in and just tell me, why did you choose the style of music that you've chosen?

MacKenzie Leigh: 4:38

Why did you choose the style of music that you've chosen? Yeah, so I like to genre bend a little bit. My whole life I've sang.

Tiffany Mason: 4:46

I like this terminology. Genre bend.

MacKenzie Leigh: 4:49

Yeah, so I work with Red 13 Records. They have a couple of different offices throughout the country, but I work with the office in New England. Shout out, mark and Sean and Johnny and Jimmy and everyone. They're all amazing, but they are trying to help me narrow down, to help me start writing and picking the first couple songs we're going to release. And when they said, what kind of genre are we looking to explore?

MacKenzie Leigh: 5:12

There are so many different inspirations that I had from so many different people that I we couldn't really land on one thing. Right now it's feeling very dark pop, so more Billie Eilish, edgy Taylor Swift if she was angrier than she seems to be, we just want Taylor to be happy but Lana Del Rey, vibes and so really music. To me, my favorite inspiration is comical music. So Bo Burnham, the Lonely Island, adam Sandler, things that are impressive and the lyrics are actually good and they can sing, but it's also really funny and it's clever and it makes you think. So I've been working on trying to work that slowly into what I'm doing, where you'll hear things you're like oh, that's funny, that I like, that, that's good, but I'm also actually singing and it's not a whole joke. You actually enjoy the song and people want to listen to it, so I like in a little bit of the wittiness into something that actually means something to people as well all right.

Jay Franze: 6:14

Well, you've mentioned a couple things in there I want to make sure we touch on first off. You said you're dealing with the company that's in New England Is that where you're located right now.

MacKenzie Leigh: 6:23

For now, yes.

Jay Franze: 6:24

What part?

MacKenzie Leigh: 6:26

I'm out near Boston. I pointed Boston's over here.

Jay Franze: 6:30

What city are you in?

MacKenzie Leigh: 6:32

I'm in Boston.

Jay Franze: 6:32

Boston proper.

MacKenzie Leigh: 6:34

Yeah.

Jay Franze: 6:35

I ask I'm from Peabody.

MacKenzie Leigh: 6:36

Oh my God, great place. No one can say it correctly, but it's beautiful.

Jay Franze: 6:41

It's named after George Peabody. Miss Tiffany, but they pronounce it Peabody.

Tiffany Mason: 6:46

They do when you think of oh, I'm going to screw it up.

Jay Franze: 6:50

Yep probably.

Tiffany Mason: 6:51

Demumbrium.

Jay Franze: 6:53

Ah, look at you. Nashville famous street. In Nashville it's called Demumbrium and it's spelled Demon Bruin.

MacKenzie Leigh: 7:00

Wow, keeping you on your toes.

Jay Franze: 7:04

I didn't even have to hit the button that time, Miss Tiffany.

Tiffany Mason: 7:08

You're so proud of me, jay, I'm sure we hit that button at some point tonight, but it's not now.

Jay Franze: 7:16

That was very good, I like it, thank you. So Boston proper. So you had a lot of good places there to play some music.

MacKenzie Leigh: 7:23

Oh, a million percent. We just went to the. A bunch of my friends and I went to Hosier and saw Gigi Perez. She was amazing. So Fenway, that was a super cool place to go. There's I mean, there's a million cool venues out here. Boston's awesome for sure.

Jay Franze: 7:42

Boston being a quality music scene overall, but it's usually either jazz on the Berklee side of things, or it's rock and metal on the independent side of things. And you've chosen something definitely far off the beaten path. So, where do you think would be the place for you to land to play the style of music you're doing?

MacKenzie Leigh: 7:57

So honestly, I mean, la is everyone's goal, it seems. I know Nashville is leaning country, but there's some other cool stuff going on down there for sure. Boston I will say I went to Boston Calling. That was a really cool experience. I went last year, so, when Chapel Rowan was there, which was unbelievable. One of my favorite bands is Young the Giant, so I've been I won't tell you how many times, but I've seen them multiple times. I love them. Ed Sheeran was there last year, so there is some pretty cool stuff in Boston as well. I can't not get. Boston is a very cool city.

Jay Franze: 8:29

Yeah, no, it really is. I mean, I didn't miss it as much until I left.

MacKenzie Leigh: 8:33

Fair.

Jay Franze: 8:34

I miss the food the most.

MacKenzie Leigh: 8:36

Valid.

Jay Franze: 8:37

So there's so many places that I miss, miss tiffany, it's crazy. And you know what? I never ate seafood when I lived in boston, but now every time I go back we go and eat interesting the kilted the tilted tilt tilted kilt.

Tiffany Mason: 8:51

It's not doing it for you that's not safe. That's like a hoover, I know no, I'm saying where you live now.

Jay Franze: 8:58

Oh, Twin Peaks.

Tiffany Mason: 9:01

Twin Peaks. That's what it was.

Jay Franze: 9:02

Twin Peaks is still another Hooters knockoff, but it's much better Not sponsored, but could be.

MacKenzie Leigh: 9:08

I know.

Jay Franze: 9:11

Mackenzie, get on that first, will you? Anywho, Rocky Rose, Miss Tiffany, Rocky Rose out with Cyndi Lauper right now. Oh yes, she is from Ohio, went to Berkeley College of Music, then went off to London to the conservatory and then moved to LA. That's why I'm bringing it up. Miss McKenzie, she's out in LA. She plays with probably 10 different bands, one of them being Cyndi Lauper who she's out on the road with right now.

MacKenzie Leigh: 9:36

That's awesome.

Jay Franze: 9:42

But in some of the bands. She plays a style of music that you do so she might be a good connection to get you with. Maybe we can make that happen, rocky, if you're listening.

Tiffany Mason: 9:48

We'll see how the rest of the show goes, Jay.

Jay Franze: 9:52

I have to be fully vetted. Fair enough, she's an Italian from Boston, what more does she need?

Tiffany Mason: 9:58

We'll see.

Jay Franze: 10:00

Fine, you quiz her then.

Tiffany Mason: 10:04

Where'd you get that great hair?

Jay Franze: 10:06

Yeah, I see the important things.

Tiffany Mason: 10:11

I mean after today, everyone will just be listening. Mackenzie's got some great, beautiful Vidal Sassoon picture perfect commercial hair. Wow, thank you. You'll make for good music videos when you start releasing all your songs. Thank you, I really hope so. I see we've taken a turn. But, mackenzie, have you always been singing? Always Were you really little, just all the little home videos.

MacKenzie Leigh: 10:40

My dad always jokes that I would be Kenzie FM, so he didn't get to listen to the radio in the car. It was just me and that Sound of Music was like my favorite thing of all time. I would sing basically the ABCs or something from Sound of Music when I was little. But all through middle school, high school was in chorus and then I went to Springfield College, which is my favorite place ever. I love Springfield College so much. Did undergrad and grad. Went back because I didn't want to leave. Did acapella the whole time I was there, which is why I love Andy so much from the office. It's not as nerdy as people make it seem like it, is it actually?

Tiffany Mason: 11:18

is very cool and so impressive. It takes so much talent.

MacKenzie Leigh: 11:21

Yes, Thank you.

Tiffany Mason: 11:21

Impressive. And I had like my four best friends, like the little group that we hung out with. They were all in the acapella group, so every time they had a performance I'd be the only one sitting, you know like with my little junkie voice, and just listening to them do all their acapella. Just so amazing, it's so fun favorites, yeah, and I think so.

MacKenzie Leigh: 11:44

Going into that freshman year of college, learning really how to separate every instrument, every sound from a song, and then having to create that with your vocals and not, you can't, there's no percussion, you're not doing anything but making. You know beatboxing and and actually singing, you really learn to appreciate every single piece that goes into a song, to make it what it is, and that taught me how to listen to music differently. So I'll be in the car with my friends and I'll turn it all the way up and be like, no, but listen to this bass line. It's amazing, you have to hear this, and so I really have a greater appreciation. I think because of that.

Jay Franze: 12:20

So shout out Acapella. It's funny, you mentioned that school.

Tiffany Mason: 12:25

I was just going to say no, did you go to Springfield?

Jay Franze: 12:29

I did not. I was talking to somebody today who did, though, just this morning.

MacKenzie Leigh: 12:33

Meant to be.

Jay Franze: 12:33

They were telling me how great it was.

MacKenzie Leigh: 12:35

It really is Like it's my favorite place on earth. I love it there, there.

Jay Franze: 12:39

I had never heard anything about it until this morning oh well, I know I don't have.

MacKenzie Leigh: 12:44

What do you love so much?

MacKenzie Leigh: 12:45

the scenery or the um musicality of it it is the first time. So it is not a musical school, it is an athletic school. Like you go there, because everyone who goes there even if you don't play sports there, you played sports at some point in your life. Everyone plays sports. It's a very, very athletic school, but they have everything. It's a school of humanics. So basically, everything you do is to help serve others and to take care of others. So all of the majors, everything that they teach, we would do a humanics and action day where the whole school would take classes off and we would go and help the neighbors in the community and kids in the community and it just. I've never felt like I belonged somewhere before or felt community as I did at Springfield college and I continued. I mean, I was a graduate assistant there. I continued working there as long as I could until I was like all right, maybe I have my student loans need me to come down with all these classes.

Jay Franze: 13:46

Well, being an Italian from Boston, I'm sure you're familiar with Faneuil Hall, of course, exactly so. Did you ever go there and watch the acapella singers?

MacKenzie Leigh: 13:54

Oh yeah, and that's the thing that people don't get to. Pentatonix was one of my favorite groups all through college because they made it more mainstream and so I saw them, I think in boston or maybe in connecticut, but I saw them live and I just remember being. They did one song where they they took all their mics and they turned their mics off and it like you could hear a pin drop from the audience and I just remember being so moved by the harmonies and everything and the fact that they take the songs that they do and then break them down. They're incredible. They're amazing.

Tiffany Mason: 14:27

Well, Drummer Boy by Pentatonix is my daughter's favorite Christmas song.

MacKenzie Leigh: 14:32

Yes, amazing, love it. She's very good taste.

Jay Franze: 14:36

I like that I remember going to Faneuil Hall a lot and there was this one restaurant that was just outside of the Strip and we'd sit there. It was outdoors and the a cappella group would come and sing right there.

Tiffany Mason: 14:51

It was awesome.

Jay Franze: 14:52

It was really awesome. Like I said, there's a huge music scene in Boston. It's just not what you would expect, like when we would go to Nashville. You're not walking down Broadway listening to music everywhere, so it's pretty cool. Now I see you're sitting with a grand piano behind you.

MacKenzie Leigh: 15:07

Yes, I am. It was my Gigi, so it stands for glamorous grandma and she is. She's so glamorous, but she's the only other musician in our family, so I got the piano because I'm the only other one that plays. So it was very, very special when I got it.

Jay Franze: 15:24

One hell of a gift.

MacKenzie Leigh: 15:25

It really was, and I treat her very well.

Jay Franze: 15:29

How long did it take you to learn how to play it?

MacKenzie Leigh: 15:32

So I, when I was little, did not have a choice to learn how to play piano. My sister and I both took lessons and I think I was so young I didn't appreciate very much what my parents were letting us do in taking lessons. I did not like it. So I, as an adult, when I got back into singing, I wanted to be able to do the cover videos I started getting back into after college. One of the hardest things for me transitioning out of Springfield College was I didn't have a place to perform anymore. I didn't have shows to look forward to, I didn't have arrangements to do with my friends, I wasn't getting together with people a couple times a week to sing. And I started. I was really missing a creative outlet, like it was depressing, like I didn't have anything to look forward to music wise for years at a time. And so finally, when I got the piano, I started reteaching myself some chords and working on some songs. And very embarrassing how much you lose and then have to work very hard to get back.

MacKenzie Leigh: 16:31

But I feel I even I'm not going to lie had to get the little cheater thing with the notes on it and put them in the keys to reteach myself. But I did and it worked and here we are.

Jay Franze: 16:42

Piano was my instrument in college and I can't play a thing right now for the life of me, so don't feel bad.

MacKenzie Leigh: 16:47

That does make me feel much better, thank you.

Jay Franze: 16:51

All right, I know we're pushing on time here, but before we let you go, can you tell me your favorite place in the North End?

MacKenzie Leigh: 16:59

Oh my God. So I'm going to go back Bay and I have to say the Lenox hotel. It's my favorite place ever. They have just changed some of the restaurants. I have not yet been able to go to the new restaurants that have come in, but I have every year I go and I get a candle from the Lenox. It lasts me less than a year, but I go every year and I do. I get a candle from the Lenox. It lasts me less than a year, but I go every year and I do some sort of dinner or breakfast there and it's my favorite place to stay. When I tell people when they're coming into the city, you have to go and give it a chance. It's so beautiful there.

Jay Franze: 17:32

Mine is nothing like that.

MacKenzie Leigh: 17:34

Okay, I'm ready.

Jay Franze: 17:35

I like Pizzeria Regina. Oh great choice. Yeah, that's fair. I mean, the North End is the Italian section of Boston, miss Tiffany. And it has got like a couple bakeries and a couple pizza places and it's as Italian as you can get. And Pizzeria Regina is this little corner hole in the wall. It's tiny as can possibly be and they are as aggressive as can be. You go in there, they're not afraid to yell at you. It's true.

MacKenzie Leigh: 18:08

It's pizza or pastries.

Jay Franze: 18:10

You've got to wait in line one or the other. It's a massive line.

Tiffany Mason: 18:15

But it's worth it. Well, mackenzie, I am dying to know what music should we be looking for from you. What songs are out? What's coming up? What do you love to perform?

MacKenzie Leigh: 18:26

So right now my first single, bad Taste on Love, is out on all streaming platforms. I feel really, really excited. It's been doing really well for a very, very new independent artist, just happy that anybody is listening to it. Um has been very fun and right now we're about, I would say, a week or two away from the second one, which is going to be the ghost of us and that'll be coming out in a couple of weeks very nice.

Jay Franze: 18:50

All right, my friend. Well, I cannot thank you enough for joining us tonight. It has been an absolute pleasure and hopefully, when your album is finished, you will come on here first to tell us all about it awesome.

Tiffany Mason: 19:00

Thank you so much so nice to meet you guys. Yes, have a great night, mckenzie.

MacKenzie Leigh: 19:04

Nice meeting you you too, bye, bye all righty, my friend.

Jay Franze: 19:11

How was that?

Tiffany Mason: 19:12

that's pretty cool. I love her energy and I'm like bostonian, I'm big fan that whole acapella business, big fan that is impressive.

Jay Franze: 19:25

It is. It's very cool. She's very talented. Her voice is very amazing. I really do like her voice. It has a different feel to it, so I'd be like a first singer, songwriter, to work on the piano and stuff like that too. It was really nice.

Tiffany Mason: 19:38

Well, and she said that she's going dark, dark, not dark country.

Jay Franze: 19:43

Dark pop is what she called it. Dark pop yes, it's got that singer-songwriter vibe to it.

Tiffany Mason: 19:49

Yeah, I feel like her voice has like that kind of haunting tonality to it or whatever, I don't know longing or vulnerability, or I like it.

Jay Franze: 19:58

I agree.

Tiffany Mason: 20:00

Nice, great way to start the show tonight well, something I really want to talk about is kelly clarkson. I know we talked on july 4th. She delayed her show well, really canceled it with moments notice, and so she actually did come out july 11th and she apologized and said we can't help our bodies get sick. But yeah, it's actually going strong now. But she almost flashed the audience because she had a little wardrobe malfunction warning. But she was saying that it was, you know, giving responsibility to menopause. So I didn't realize she was that old.

Jay Franze: 20:41

She's not that old.

Tiffany Mason: 20:42

Yeah, I didn't realize she was that old.

Jay Franze: 20:43

She's not that old. Yeah, yeah, she's definitely not that old. But hey, you never know.

Tiffany Mason: 20:47

It can start as early as 35, Jay.

Jay Franze: 20:50

Well then she's that old. Yeah, I say, my wife's going through it all the time. Something's got to explain the mood swings. We're all going through something.

Tiffany Mason: 20:59

I'm saying it's hormones, man, it's hormones. It's not fair. Do you know that I learned that women, we take 28 days to go through a full cycle of hormones. Men go through their full cycle of hormones in 24 hours.

Jay Franze: 21:11

I thought you were going to say 28 years.

Tiffany Mason: 21:14

No, so every day you guys have done a full cycle. See, we are very efficient. They're very simple. Women are very complex.

Jay Franze: 21:25

Definitely complex.

Tiffany Mason: 21:28

Miranda Lambert is a native to Texas and she announced plans for a benefit concert for the Lone Star State in the recent weeks, which was very, very sad.

Jay Franze: 21:37

You know who else is putting a benefit concert together and is from texas, someone who should be number one in the country music scene oh, george straight.

Tiffany Mason: 21:48

Or garth brooks, george straight yes, from texas.

Jay Franze: 21:51

Uh, garth brooks is from oklahoma I knew that.

Tiffany Mason: 21:54

Yeah, I was just testing you.

Jay Franze: 21:56

Yeah, but georgerait is putting together a big show and benefit.

Tiffany Mason: 22:02

That's awesome. That's awesome. Well, chris Stapleton steps up after the devastating floods as well, with a major donation. He is donating a million dollars to support the victims of the devastating floods that hit over 4th of July weekend. I guess I never put two and two together, that it was 4th of July weekend, but it sure was how terrible.

Jay Franze: 22:22

It is terrible.

Tiffany Mason: 22:23

See, it's too sad, it's just too sad. That breaks my heart for those people.

Jay Franze: 22:28

Tell us happy news, my friend.

Tiffany Mason: 22:29

Okay, happy news. So Chris Rock he makes his band do something after every single concert.

Jay Franze: 22:35

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Want to start again. I have a feeling that's not Chris Rock.

Tiffany Mason: 22:43

Oh, Kid Rock Slight difference.

Jay Franze: 22:45

Not even close.

Tiffany Mason: 22:47

Yes, Kid Rock Apologize. Many apologies to the crew members.

Jay Franze: 22:50

You're not going to slap Kid Rock is all I'm saying.

Tiffany Mason: 22:53

No, no, okay, kid Rock and his band. When they're finished playing their concerts, he requires everybody to go backstage, and then they watch their performance. They watch the footage and then they try to decide what they could have done better. It makes me think of like a yes, that's exactly what I was going to say. Nice Yep.

Jay Franze: 23:14

We're like this we're right there with each other.

Tiffany Mason: 23:17

I mean on the same wavelength I think that's very cool.

Jay Franze: 23:21

We should do that. We should get together after the show and we should sit down and we should listen or watch or do whatever we're going to do.

Tiffany Mason: 23:28

If it didn't end at midnight, we could. That's what we're going to do from now on Yep. Okay, we'll take an hour break in between. We'll come back at two in the morning. Got it.

Jay Franze: 23:37

okay, let's make that I'm in let's make this better.

Tony Scott: 23:40

Let's get on that for us, buddy he can be on and take notes.

Tiffany Mason: 23:48

Well, this is something we don't hear very often from the celebrities, but john party admits that he has dad guilt when he goes out on tour. John party and his wife summer have two young kids, bruceley fawn, who is two, sienna Grace, who is 11 months, and they're at the stage where watching Daddy leave is tough, and I remember those days we have to like sneak out or tell him like look out the window, and then you really go the other way Nice.

Jay Franze: 24:17

Trick the kids. Why not just take them with him?

Tiffany Mason: 24:21

Yeah, I wondered about that too, but maybe that's just a lifestyle that him and his wife, summer, don't want to provide.

Jay Franze: 24:26

I'm sure, but still Talk about names too. Huh Presley Fawn.

Tiffany Mason: 24:30

I know, I wonder where Fawn comes. And Sienna Grace?

Jay Franze: 24:33

Yeah, sienna Grace, nice names, I like them, but the kids are still young.

Tiffany Mason: 24:40

They are really young. They won't remember. Go on the road.

Jay Franze: 24:44

Bring them with. Imagine if they were older and you get to go on the road, do homeschooling and get to tour the world. Oh, that would be so awesome.

Tiffany Mason: 24:53

Jay, my dad was a milkman, okay, and he delivered milk all over the state of Iowa.

Jay Franze: 24:59

And did he take you with him?

Tiffany Mason: 25:01

He did. He would let us come with him. I was joking, but that's awesome. We'd leave at like three o'clock in the morning or something. We had to wear like really warm clothes because we had to go into these huge coolers and just get crates and crates of milk and then my dad would load them all onto the truck and I remember thinking it was the coolest thing as he would load his semi and then we would go to like schools before they had been open or grocery store or not before they'd been open, but before you know school hours, and the same thing with these restaurants or gas stations and I just thought it was the coolest thing.

Tiffany Mason: 25:34

You know he'd wear these gloves. I can see it just clear as day in my mind, this weird cane thing that he had to pull the crates forward and stuff loved it. My favorite was went with dad. We had to wake up super early and then you know they well, I guess they still happen, but I never buy them. But the little rows of donuts, you know you get like four or five little donuts, little powdered donuts and I remember I still eat them to this day.

Tiffany Mason: 25:57

Chocolate, though, that's okay okay, okay, well, hey, I think either are perfect choice. But I remember my dad opening the door for us to go load one of the accounts and just donuts, just falling out the door because I'd fall asleep while we were driving to wherever the next place was.

Jay Franze: 26:14

But yes, your dad has to be one of the last milkmen ever.

Tiffany Mason: 26:19

Probably. It was really weird, though. So we live in Florida now and I'm from Iowa and the company that he worked for was Prairie Farms, and it got bought out and then it was Robert's and I actually took a picture. I forgot to share it with him, but I pick up bread for my senior citizen volunteer gig that I do on Wednesday mornings, and there were milk crates there. It said Prairie Farms, roberts Dairy, and I thought no way, how are these milk crates down here? This is the craziest thing. So I took a picture. I meant to send it to my dad right away, but obviously I dropped the ball on that.

Jay Franze: 26:52

If you see any milk crates around, grab me a few I could use about four of them.

Tiffany Mason: 26:57

They're the best.

Jay Franze: 27:03

Awesome. What else of them? They're the best awesome. What else we got in the news? Well, darius rucker. He had a concert.

Tiffany Mason: 27:07

Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Did your dad wear the hat? No, sir, he had a navy blue uniform back to your darius rucker, darius rucker. Uh, he actually is refunding a bunch of money in atlantic city, new jersey. On saturday night, the 12th, he started a couple songs in and his voice started giving out and he actually refunded the crowd their money. And then he made a public apology on social media.

Jay Franze: 27:30

I mean, he did the right thing. Probably didn't have to do that.

Tiffany Mason: 27:34

I heard somebody recently I can't remember who it is they canceled their show and they did not refund one ticket and they did not sing one song.

Jay Franze: 27:41

I'm sure he didn't have to apologize or do all that, but it seems like it's the right thing to do, so good for him.

Tiffany Mason: 27:49

He seems like a stand-up guy and I'm not shocked by that. That seems like who he is.

Jay Franze: 27:53

I'm with you, my friend. Good for you, Darius.

Tiffany Mason: 27:57

Way to go, darius. Okay, ashley Cook. Now I had a moment trying to remember who this was, but if you guys know the song, your Place, that's what she sings and it was one of the number one songs last summer number one hit and she actually has had a very successful year of her career. So far, the singer has been battling significant health challenges and family losses. Both of her grandmothers passed away within the last year. Her father battled his fifth reoccurrence of cancer. About four months ago. Her mom suffered a near-fetal heart attack and had a stent placed in one of her arteries. Cook has been facing a health challenge of her own too. In social media last week, she revealed that she recently has been diagnosed with a heart condition too. Like, yeah, she's got a heart condition. You lose that many people in that short amount of time. Like, how do you not have a broken heart?

Jay Franze: 28:54

That's a broken heart, but I wonder what the heart condition is. It's rough nonetheless. I mean, it's horrible. Yeah, heart disease runs in my family, so that's something that I'm always constantly looking out for.

Tiffany Mason: 29:07

I heard and you all can WebMD it but if you have a wrinkle in your earlobe it's supposed to signify heart disease.

Jay Franze: 29:18

Huh, I don't know, I don't know either.

Tiffany Mason: 29:20

All facts, all facts.

Jay Franze: 29:21

All facts on the J-Frame. Is that what that is? Seems a little out there. I don't think so.

Tiffany Mason: 29:27

I remember reading the article and they explained why that happens. That's a telltale sign. You know what it might have been Comorbidities Isn't that what they call it, when you have precursors that would indicate heart disease and you have a widow maker. That's what they call it a widow maker, because they're heart attacks that come out of nowhere, like you just weren't. There was no indication that this person would have one, and they said from that article look for a crease in the earlobe. So I don't know.

Tiffany Mason: 29:56

All right Crease in the earlobes Fact check me people, let us know, but more about.

Jay Franze: 30:00

Africa. Somebody fact check that?

Tiffany Mason: 30:02

Yeah, somebody fact check that.

Jay Franze: 30:04

George get on that.

Tiffany Mason: 30:07

Okay. Well, she also has a new song out called the Hell you Are the hell you are. So saying that it brings fire and tempo here in this next chapter. Just saying that it's like a follow-up song from her one from last summer. So I'll have to give it a listen and see and let you know.

Jay Franze: 30:31

A crease in the earlobe, often called Frank's sign, can be a potential indicator for coronary artery disease.

Tiffany Mason: 30:40

Bam.

Jay Franze: 30:42

I don't have a crease in the arm, you can call me Tiffany MD.

Tiffany Mason: 30:45

Thank you very much, mason MD.

Jay Franze: 30:47

I don't think so. I told my wife I was going to go get my doctorate. She says I don't think so. I said come on, I want you to call me Dr J. She was not happy, so that's the reason why I didn't get my doctorate.

Tiffany Mason: 31:03

My wife won't call me Dr J. Sounds like maybe you didn't want it. No, no.

Jay Franze: 31:05

I wanted it, I would have done it, I would have put in all the years it takes to do it, but she said she wasn't going to do it.

Tiffany Mason: 31:12

Do you like school? Do you like learning?

Jay Franze: 31:14

I like learning. I don't know if I like school Although you would think I do because I've been to a lot of them but I think about this a lot. I think I like self-education better. I want to learn what I want to know.

Tiffany Mason: 31:28

I don't want to learn the fluff.

Jay Franze: 31:30

So if you can go to a specialized school and learn just the stuff you want to know, like when I taught at the audio engineering school, we taught audio engineering. We didn't teach English or science or that type of stuff.

Tiffany Mason: 31:42

So that was cool, but no, I I like self-learning kind of like trade schools, almost right, like where you just learn the skill you want. Yeah, yeah, exactly yeah, yeah, because I was thinking the other day like learning man. I don't know what that does in my brain, but it fires me up, I love learning.

Jay Franze: 32:01

I was going to say what you don't like it.

Tiffany Mason: 32:03

I love it. You don't get along with it, I love it. It gives me so much energy, like just the endorphins. Dopamine, serotonin must just party in there.

Jay Franze: 32:12

We know I don't like to read, but I do listen to a lot of books and stuff. I enjoy taking in the information. Books and stuff I enjoy taking in the information. I even take a lot of online courses from different colleges or different institutions around the world because I want to know information about a certain subject. I don't need to go through an entire program at this point in my life.

Tiffany Mason: 32:32

Right, right right.

Jay Franze: 32:34

Unless my wife wants to call me doctor. If she wants to call me Dr J, I'll make it happen.

Tiffany Mason: 32:38

Come on, Jennifer.

Jay Franze: 32:41

Will you call me Dr J? I'll make it happen. Come on, Jennifer. Will you call me Dr J? That ship is sailed.

Tiffany Mason: 32:44

I would call you Dr J for sure. I'd be honored to know a doctor.

Jay Franze: 32:50

Moving on Question of the day what is? The greatest vocal collaboration of all time. What is the greatest vocal collaboration of all time? Because, well, we like to make it a competition, not just who are some good ones, what's the best ones? Of all time. If you want to go ahead and throw your responses in the comment section, please go ahead. All right, you want to give me one? You want to hold your thoughts until a little later in time?

Tiffany Mason: 33:20

I will give you one. There is a new song called Hard Fought Hallelujah and it is with Jelly Roll and Brandon Lake, and I love the grit of it, but I feel like vocal performances are not typically about grit. That's a pretty good one. It's got a lot of emotion in it, which I really like, I think that's what grit to me is is emotion. Grit to me is that growly sound.

Jay Franze: 33:45

Yeah, but that comes from emotion.

Tiffany Mason: 33:48

Okay, we can agree to disagree.

Jay Franze: 33:51

You don't think that's emotional when somebody gets all gritty?

Tiffany Mason: 33:57

No, I think it's like they're digging deep, but I don't think it's like they're getting growly to be heartbroken or they're getting growly to show a lot of love. It's definitely like an emotional thing. I don't feel like in my head. The definitions aren't the same.

Jay Franze: 34:16

Fine, be that way, Alice. She says Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.

Tiffany Mason: 34:23

Yes, I knew that one was going to come up.

Jay Franze: 34:25

Timeless chemistry and unforgettable melodies.

Tiffany Mason: 34:31

I threw one out. Did you want to throw one out, Jay?

Jay Franze: 34:34

No, I'm going to hold off till later.

Tiffany Mason: 34:37

Wow, you have such control, such self-control.

Jay Franze: 34:42

I got to think of something that's not so gritty now, or maybe I'm going to go extreme grit, I don't know.

Tiffany Mason: 34:51

Well, I am waiting on pins and needles for the answer, ben.

Jay Franze: 34:56

Ben says, brad Paisley and Alison Krauss.

Tiffany Mason: 35:00

Whiskey.

Jay Franze: 35:01

Lullaby.

Tiffany Mason: 35:03

Nice, that's a good one. Mm-hmm.

Jay Franze: 35:07

Oh, carla, carla says George Jones and Tammy Wynette.

Tiffany Mason: 35:12

Oh, it would be nice if they said the song. Do they say the song for that one?

Jay Franze: 35:17

They said Golden Ring.

Tiffany Mason: 35:19

Oh.

Jay Franze: 35:21

David. David says Reba McEntire and Linda Davis. And the song is David, please tell us the song.

Tiffany Mason: 35:40

I had Reba McEntintyre and brooks and dunn. If you see him, if you see her, I like that, but I don't know if it's best vocal.

Jay Franze: 35:45

It's good, it's reba brooks and dunn but eva says johnny cash and june carter.

Tiffany Mason: 35:50

Eva, says Johnny Cash and June Carter.

Jay Franze: 35:53

Yep, oh wait, wait. David says does he love you? Back to Reba and Linda Davis.

Tiffany Mason: 35:59

Does he love you like he loves me? Does he think of you when he's holding me?

Jay Franze: 36:09

All right, moving on. Frank says Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter.

Tiffany Mason: 36:15

I don't know Grace Potter who said the song.

Jay Franze: 36:20

Frank sorry let us know, frank, if anybody else, if you're putting your comments in, please include a song title. Apparently it's not good enough just to answer our questions. Answer what we think we're going to want to. Grace says Tim McGraw and Faith Hill I had a few people tell me Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

Tiffany Mason: 36:46

But is it best vocals?

Jay Franze: 36:50

Yeah, if we're going to turn this into a competition. No, not the best of all time. It's going to be hard to beat Kenny and Dolly.

Tiffany Mason: 36:58

Yeah, I think Johnny and June too.

Jay Franze: 37:02

Yeah, I still go with Kenny and Dolly.

Tiffany Mason: 37:07

You know, dolly kind of annoys me a little bit. Wow, well, you just said last week should have been the most important person in country music annoys me a little bit.

Jay Franze: 37:14

Wow, well, you just said, last week should have been the most important person in country music.

Tiffany Mason: 37:17

Yes, most influential, absolutely. But I can still say, like her little you know, like when she sucks in after everything she says, I don't know.

Jay Franze: 37:27

She announced today that she is not going to be participating in songwriting for a while, Since her husband has passed away. She's taking some time off.

Tiffany Mason: 37:38

Good for her.

Jay Franze: 37:40

There you go.

Tiffany Mason: 37:40

Good for her. That's so sad.

Jay Franze: 37:43

All right, hector. Hector, you're the first Hector we have had. Thank you, hector, for joining us. Brad Paisley and Keith Urban. And he says and I will put a song in here, and it is Start a Band. Oh. You want to sing that for us? Do you know that?

Tiffany Mason: 38:01

one. It's not coming to mind, but I definitely know it. I know I can't think of how it goes.

Jay Franze: 38:06

Ivy oh, here's a good one. Ivy says Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood Bradad paisley's been on this three times already he collaborated a lot.

Tiffany Mason: 38:19

Is there gonna be more?

Jay Franze: 38:20

to that sentence I don't understand jake. Jake says shania twain and brian white don't know if it would beat Kenny and Dolly, but you know, hey, not much is going to in my opinion. Ooh, kate is thinking outside the box and she does include a song title.

Tiffany Mason: 38:41

Okay, what does Kate say?

Jay Franze: 38:43

Kate says, bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles.

Tiffany Mason: 38:49

Oh yes.

Jay Franze: 38:49

Who says you can't go home?

Tiffany Mason: 38:53

Good one.

Jay Franze: 38:54

That is a good one. I used to really like Bon Jovi, until he jumped the shark.

Tiffany Mason: 39:00

What does jump the shark mean? You say it a lot. I have the general idea, but where does it come from?

Jay Franze: 39:06

It's a term that comes from happy days, television show happy days.

Tiffany Mason: 39:12

Monday, tuesday happy days. Monday Tuesday Happy Days. Wednesday, thursday Happy Days.

Jay Franze: 39:17

Happy Days was an extremely popular show and it was on the air for years and then, after a while, it started to veer off and there was an episode where Fonzie, instead of riding his motorcycle, he was water skiing and literally jumped a shark. So the term jumped the shark is when Happy Days fell out of popularity, was when Fonzie jumped the shark.

Tiffany Mason: 39:48

There you go.

Jay Franze: 39:49

We teach you an awful lot of things on this show.

Tiffany Mason: 39:51

You just never know, you're going to walk away with a plethora of information. I think I'll awful lot of things on this show. You just never know, you're going to walk away with a plethora of information.

Jay Franze: 39:55

I think I'll use that one in trivia tomorrow night. So yes, bon Jovi, I feel like Bon Jovi jumped the shark when he went to Nashville and hooked up with Nashville songwriters to write their most commercial hits, but I preferred when they were writing songs on their own, like the song Runaway and stuff. Mm-hmm. It's just my opinion. Hate mail goes to Tiffany at jfranzycom. Mia says I agree, tim McGraw and Faith Hill Hmm, all right. Leo says Loretta and Conway.

Tiffany Mason: 40:32

Okay.

Jay Franze: 40:34

Noah, kenny, chesney and Pink.

Tiffany Mason: 40:39

Ooh, yes.

Jay Franze: 40:42

I find that one hard. I don't think that's a match.

Tiffany Mason: 40:46

The song is really good. I can't think of what it is right now, but I do know that I love it.

Jay Franze: 40:49

Setting the world on fire.

Tiffany Mason: 40:51

Oh God, yes, oh my God, I had that song on repeat in my car for so long. Yes, okay, mm-hmm.

Jay Franze: 41:01

Those voices just don't seem like they match to me.

Tiffany Mason: 41:04

And that song they definitely do.

Jay Franze: 41:06

Olivia, shania Twain and Billy Currington.

Tiffany Mason: 41:10

Okay, that probably is pretty good.

Jay Franze: 41:14

Rosa, first Rosa on the show. Thank you, rosa, hank Williams and Waylon Jennings. Waylon. Jennings.

Tiffany Mason: 41:23

All right, what happened? Do we say it slow?

Jay Franze: 41:25

so we get it right. Hank Williams and Waylon Jennings. There's got to be a button over here somewhere.

Tiffany Mason: 41:35

Jay, you're fired.

Jay Franze: 41:36

There you go. I found it on the first try. I moved all the buttons around, so I have no idea where they are.

Tiffany Mason: 41:42

Oh my gosh, I'm so impressed.

Jay Franze: 41:44

I tried to make it easier on myself. Nope, Nope did not work. Paul says Thomas Rhett and John Party.

Tiffany Mason: 41:54

And the song is Paul.

MacKenzie Leigh: 41:57

Oh man.

Jay Franze: 41:59

Paul, help us out here, brother. Follow Tiffany's updated rules While we wait. Quinn says Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black yeah, I like the two of them. I don't know if they're the best ever. Sam says Love Song by George Strait and Miranda Lambert, but it has to be live, he said.

Tiffany Mason: 42:23

Wow, those are some stipulations.

Jay Franze: 42:25

He says they are two Texas Titans and they sing in harmony.

Tiffany Mason: 42:30

Apparently so, because they're both going to raise money for the flood victims.

Jay Franze: 42:33

I think Sam is going for his doctorate and wants to make sure he gets a good grade on this paper. Nice Good for you, Sam. Here's one I like. Victor puts up a candidate for the running here.

Tiffany Mason: 42:49

Okay.

Jay Franze: 42:50

Drowns the Whiskey. Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert, those two voices go together To me they go together Smooth as Tennessee whiskey.

Tiffany Mason: 43:03

No, it is, they are. I know they all sing that song.

Jay Franze: 43:11

Oh, okay.

Tiffany Mason: 43:12

Yeah, I know, I know it all sing that song, oh, okay, yeah, I know.

Jay Franze: 43:15

I know it's Chris Stapleton. Okay, wendy says yes. Tim McGraw, faith Hill.

Tiffany Mason: 43:20

A lot of votes for that.

Jay Franze: 43:22

Xavier. Xavier says how often he could say that name.

Tiffany Mason: 43:28

Xavier, not very often.

Jay Franze: 43:29

St Xavier is a college here in town.

Tiffany Mason: 43:32

So why are you thinking it's so rare?

Jay Franze: 43:35

How many Xaviers do you know?

Tiffany Mason: 43:38

None.

Jay Franze: 43:39

I don't know a single Xavier. I don't know any Xaviers.

Tiffany Mason: 43:44

Oh, yes, but there is. On one of my reality shows that I watch on TV, the little kid's name is oh, I think it's actually Isaiah, and they call him Zay.

Jay Franze: 43:53

So it means nothing to the story.

Tiffany Mason: 43:57

No, no, it was on the way to mean something.

Jay Franze: 44:00

Until we thought it through, I assume Xavier is a boy.

Tiffany Mason: 44:06

I would think so. Yes, it's generally a male name.

Jay Franze: 44:09

Okay, Xavier says Laney Wilson in Jelly Roll.

Tiffany Mason: 44:15

I mean love him.

Jay Franze: 44:17

Says Gritty Voices in Powerhouse Fusion.

Tiffany Mason: 44:20

Yeah.

Jay Franze: 44:21

Fusion Art like a truck.

Tony Scott: 44:24

But he says it has to be the remix Art like a truck.

Tiffany Mason: 44:28

A lot of stipulations these people have. That's what.

Jay Franze: 44:31

I'm saying I don't know if I like it or I don't like it. I think I like it. I like the fact that people I think I like it. Yeah, I like it.

Tiffany Mason: 44:38

It's like when all the Swifties are saying Taylor's version, yeah. All right, all right. Xavier and it shows that they actually really know the song.

Jay Franze: 44:46

All right, hey, I'm going to say editing.

Tiffany Mason: 44:52

Cherry picking you could start saying you're cherry picking.

Jay Franze: 44:54

Let's do that. I like that even better. I don't like um. What did we say before Censoring? Yeah, censoring isn't the right term.

Tiffany Mason: 45:00

It's not the right term. No, you're cherry picking.

Jay Franze: 45:02

Cherry picking.

Tiffany Mason: 45:04

Yeah.

Jay Franze: 45:05

All right, here's another good one. Zane says Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood.

Tiffany Mason: 45:12

I had that on my list, raw emotion and vocal fireworks. What did you just say about the emotion?

Jay Franze: 45:20

Raw emotion.

Tiffany Mason: 45:22

Did you just say raw emotion? Raw emotion, just because I don't know how to speak Now, did he say, if I didn't love you?

Jay Franze: 45:36

He did say if I didn't love you? He did say if I didn't love you, yeah, well, here's keith urban and miranda lambert becca this one I think I like charlie says chris young in cassidy pope the song is think of you think of you he wrote more than that. Do you want the rest to? Uh-huh says it's a modern country ballad done right yeah, I like all the commentary do you like all of it?

Jay Franze: 46:05

you know I don't like to read. Oh, I like this one. Well, no, I don't know if I like this one.

Tiffany Mason: 46:10

Oh wow, jumped in headfirst and then you just backed out as fast as you could.

Jay Franze: 46:15

Well, I saw Taylor Swift. I'm like, ooh, I like Taylor Swift. But Fiona says Little Big Town and Taylor Swift. I mean that's great and all but.

Tiffany Mason: 46:28

That's like a quartet. Then Nice Gabe says we did say a collaboration, so that is a collaboration.

Jay Franze: 46:36

We didn't say duo, but yeah, that makes sense Cracked, correct yeah. Gabe says, jordan Davis and Luke Bryan.

Tiffany Mason: 46:42

Solid voices.

Jay Franze: 46:45

Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift. Lara Lara, l-a-r-a Lara.

Tiffany Mason: 46:52

Should L-A-R-A Lara.

Jay Franze: 46:53

Tiffany Mason: 47:40

I like those names.

Jay Franze: 47:42

Tara says Darius Rucker and Luke Bryan. I like those two. Will says Brooks and Dunn.

Tiffany Mason: 47:53

That's not a collaboration. Though that's not a collaboration though it's their band.

Jay Franze: 47:56

It's just a really long one. Xena, we get two X names tonight. Xena says Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus.

Tiffany Mason: 48:07

Yes, old Town Road.

Jay Franze: 48:10

I like this one and Lord knows I won't be, able to pronounce that name, maybe Yusuf Y-U-S-U-F.

Tiffany Mason: 48:20

Yeah, I think it's like Joseph in another language. Is it but Yusuf.

Jay Franze: 48:24

Yusuf, I think that's right. Okay good.

Tiffany Mason: 48:26

When I watch 90 Day Fiancé, I'm pretty sure people are called Yusuf in there.

Jay Franze: 48:29

Okay, well, Yusuf says Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood. Oh. All right, let's start winding this one down.

Tiffany Mason: 48:39

Yes, I thought we already were winding it down.

We were, but I'm going to like bring it to a halt.

Tiffany Mason: 48:45

Whoa. The cherry bucket is full.

Jay Franze: 48:50

Zelda.

Tiffany Mason: 48:52

Jay Franze: 48:57

And Y's Yusuf is a Y, so I'll go with that. Victor was the V we're good. We're doing the back end of the alphabet tonight. Perfect Zelda says Ronnie Dunn and Reba McIntyre.

Tiffany Mason: 49:11

That's the one I said.

Jay Franze: 49:13

Agreed. That's not what you said.

Tiffany Mason: 49:17

I said Brooks and Dunn, but clearly it was Ronnie Dunn.

Jay Franze: 49:19

Alright, jason, jason Sircone. I'll use his last name because he's been a guest before, but he says if it's the best collaboration, it would have to be me and you. Okay, I'll take that.

Tiffany Mason: 49:31

Why not? I feel like you and I are the best collab Jay.

Jay Franze: 49:35

That's what I'm saying. Jason disagrees with you, though. All right starting the countdown. Here's what Number 20?.

Tiffany Mason: 49:44

We're starting with number 20. It's Jelly Roll with Heart of Stone.

Jay Franze: 49:50

I don't know if number 20 deserves a drum roll.

Tiffany Mason: 49:53

No, but it was Jelly Roll, so it still feels appropriate.

Jay Franze: 49:57

Good for you, Jelly Roll. That man's name is everywhere right now.

Tiffany Mason: 50:02

Everywhere he's doing a great job. He's got a great PR firm. I mean the name is out there.

Tiffany Mason: 50:22

I have not, I'm sure I have I just, I just remembered the DJs making a big deal out of heavens to Betsy and they told like where it came from and I didn't like the story. So now I don't like the song because they ruined it by telling the story. So all right, number 18,. We have Jordan Davis with bar none. There you go, and number 17.

Jay Franze: 50:42

I'm so excited. Sorry, jordan, bye, bar none.

Jay Franze: 50:54

Yeah, I don't know, but anyways. So I was just excited to get to 17.

Jay Franze: 51:19

Tiffany Mason: 51:21

Jay Franze: 51:23

Okay, you may be excited about 16. It's Mr Eric Church with Hands of Time, I do like Eric Church. I know.

Jay Franze: 51:57

I think part of that is because he was just such a nice guy. Yeah, I mean such a nice guy. But I like that alt country style, that bucking the system.

Tiffany Mason: 52:08

I like that Sticking it to the man.

Jay Franze: 52:10

Tiffany Mason: 52:13

Jay Franze: 52:30

Okay.

Tiffany Mason: 52:31

I love when a song has just a little segment like that. I love it when it's just a little section and your mind is left to the imagination until you hear the song like what's it about? Anyways, I like that song, though Happens to Me. And number 13, shaboozy with Good News.

I'm kind of surprised this song isn't higher.

Jay Franze: 52:59

It's hard to top that song, bar song.

Tiffany Mason: 53:02

It's true. It's true it's a good song. It's a good song, but I just feel like everybody can relate to this. You know where he starts out saying it's been a really tough year. He's like all I need is some really good news. There's a little good news. I always say, really, it's a little good news. All I all I really need is a little good news. Okay, bailey zimmerman at number 12 backup plan.

Tiffany Mason: 53:23

I like that song I wish we had gone to bailey zimmerman last summer in jack's beach. He was here performing free concert.

Jay Franze: 53:31

What's the lyric to that? The only backup plan you need is to get back up.

Tiffany Mason: 53:37

Oh man, I love when the words are like that. You know that Josh Ross song single. Again it says when you're all over him, I hope you're all over me. I love when the words are like dual meaning. You know throughout the lyrics. That's so cool.

Jay Franze: 53:52

That's cool. I made a connection when they said backup plan, the only one you need is just get back up.

Tiffany Mason: 53:57

Get back up. Yeah, that's awesome Kind of the way I live life. Okay, I'm going to check it out. Yeah, me too.

Jay Franze: 54:03

Who needs a backup plan?

Tiffany Mason: 54:05

Just got to get back up. That's the plan you need. All right, mr Thomas Rhett. In spot number 11, after All, the Bars Are Closed. I do not believe I've heard this song.

Jay Franze: 54:16

I have not, but I went to a wedding with him.

Tiffany Mason: 54:18

Fun fact, I've got nothing else to that story.

Jay Franze: 54:21

I mean he was a nice guy, but I've got literally nothing else to that story, Just that I went to a wedding with him.

Tiffany Mason: 54:25

I appreciate you sharing that.

Jay Franze: 54:29

Okay, I could tell you more about the venue. The venue was beautiful. It was in the hills of Tennessee, ooh.

Tiffany Mason: 54:37

I bet it was. It was on a little lake and the venue itself was just beautiful.

Jay Franze: 54:43

Okay, it had a barn and then it had an outdoor area that was very wooden. So the ceremony took place under the canopy outside nice, and then the reception was inside in the barn.

Tiffany Mason: 54:55

It's beautiful but he was there, was there, yeah, perfect I don't remember anything. This next one in number 10 has captured my heart and I want so badly to hate it, but I absolutely love it. And I don't know why I want to hate it, but I absolutely love it. And I don't know why I want to hate it, but I do love it. It's Kane Brown backseat driver.

Jay Franze: 55:16

Are you a backseat driver?

Tiffany Mason: 55:19

I definitely used to be. My husband would say I still am Lord.

Tiffany Mason: 55:23

If he only knew I have tried to teach myself so hard to shut my mouth and focus on anything but his driving, focus on a song, put some lip gloss on, look at the trees, the other cars, talk to somebody in the car, anything but that, because he does get offended a lot. Sometimes I just ask questions like why did you turn here? Because I'm just like so curious, why did you turn there and not like where I normally turn. Maybe there's something he knows that I don't know. But he's always like, oh my gosh, why can't I just turn here? I'm like wait, you can. I'm just, I just didn't know. If you know something I don't know my wife doesn't want to learn.

Jay Franze: 55:59

She says you know why'd you turn here? Because she's saying you didn't turn where I wanted you to do you ever see the tiktok, where the guy's driving and the woman's yelling and like freaking out, she's throwing her hands up like they're about to get in an accident and he slams on the brakes and then the camera pans and it shows a car stopped at a stop sign, like 20 feet ahead. No, I mean, that's my wife for sure.

Tiffany Mason: 56:22

Anyway, sorry, no, my husband thinks that I am, but I'm not. Actually it's not what he thinks I'm saying. So, whatever, it's fine, but it was funny because I had the tune stuck in my head Daddy, can you please turn up the radio? And so I had already gotten in bed, but Hannah was up with a friend and so I purposely got out of bed to tell Hannah this. But I was thinking, hannah, can you please turn down the thermostat, because we drop our thermostat every night and it's not programmed. And I know you can program it and we haven't programmed it. But anyways, but that was just kind of funny.

Tiffany Mason: 56:56

So now, every time I hear that song, I think of that, but I also think of, like you know, he's pointing out how she just sees the world so differently than him and how she asks one question and then another question. Another question comes, but I don't like that. He says mickey d because it makes me think of the other song said I've been watching you, dad, ain't that cool. I'm your buckaroo, I want to be like you. And he's talking about how his four-year-old said a four-letter word and his Mickey D drink goes flying in his lap right and I'm like, oh, you both used Mickey D Use a different restaurant, just for sake of difference.

Jay Franze: 57:31

HVAC instructions to Tiffany at jfranzycom.

Tiffany Mason: 57:36

No, Hannah's got it. Hannah, can you please turn down the thermostat. Sad, Okay, number nine Luke Bryan Country song came on.

Jay Franze: 57:49

I've said it before I like Luke Bryan.

Tiffany Mason: 57:52

I've said it before I like Luke Bryant too.

Jay Franze: 57:55

You drive me insane.

Tiffany Mason: 57:58

I did that just for you. I know you did Okay. Number eight Numero ocho Tyler Hopper.

Jay Franze: 58:04

What number is that?

Tiffany Mason: 58:06

What's that?

Jay Franze: 58:07

What number is that?

Tiffany Mason: 58:08

Numero ocho Eight for my English speaking listeners.

Jay Franze: 58:12

I'm sorry, no Crew members. What number is that? It's my favorite number. Oh sorry, crew members what number is that?

Tiffany Mason: 58:18

It's my favorite number. Oh sorry, Jay, Sorry. Okay, Jay's favorite number eight Tyler Hubbard with the song Park.

Jay Franze: 58:27

All right.

Tiffany Mason: 58:28

Okay, number seven Nate Smith, fix what you Didn't Break. There used to be a guy in my networking group and he was a little bit older, so he was trying to find his shtick, you know, in the networking realm and he would say I will fix what your nephew broke. And it makes me think of, like you know, dudes trying to fix things and then they have to hire the handyman to come fix what they're asking for.

Jay Franze: 58:53

You take it apart, can't get it back together. That's me. If handyman to come fix other people's parts, I can't get it back together. That's me. If I take something apart, it's not going back together. I've got the leftover pieces and I'll save them forever. But I'll have the leftover pieces. That's a good song too, and I like the fact there's something about saying you fixed what you didn't break, so I don't know. I like that, it's a good message.

Tiffany Mason: 59:13

I think it's a Brett Young song. Stop telling the truth about you If you stop telling lies about me.

Jay Franze: 59:19

Nice, yes, something to that effect.

Tiffany Mason: 59:24

Number six, mr Riley Green, worst Way. Number five, josh Ross. It's a tongue twister. Single again, for whatever reason.

Tony Scott: 59:34

It is Josh Ross. You gotta's a tongue twister. Single again, the song I just talked about, josh.

Tiffany Mason: 59:37

Ross, it is. Yeah, it's really. You've got to think before you say it. I referenced it on another episode, but I just love when he says the Tennessee or the Nashville zip code and he's like you can still hit up my 615. Yeah, I love that.

Jay Franze: 59:52

Yeah, he's another guy who's super nice, super friendly.

Tiffany Mason: 59:56

I have a picture with him. Yeah, we discussed that. I met him for one hot second.

Jay Franze: 1:00:02

And I like the people he chooses, Like he was on the road with Nickelback. Yeah, yeah, and that's not really a combination, I would think, but it worked.

Tiffany Mason: 1:00:11

Yeah, I could see that being a combination. I have a better visionary sense for that stuff, Jeffy.

Tiffany Mason: 1:00:20

Yeah, yeah, you do Okay, number four, mr Sam Hunt, with Country House. That was a song that I made you check out and I just love the imagery he's, you know, driving his little lawnmower with his shirt off, around a little fresh bean patch and he's chopping wood and I don't know, like he just wants to be in love with this woman on this, you know, country house, and it just makes me think my childhood home and good memories, and I am constantly torn between, like this redneck side of me, you know, and then there's this other piece of me that's like more reserved and like I was telling my wife the other day I want to be a redneck, so bad I know I kind of do.

Tiffany Mason: 1:01:04

I get very torn between both of those worlds because I grew up redneck for sure I'm city and my wife and her family is definitely rednecks.

Jay Franze: 1:01:11

They would tell you they're rednecks yeah, but she says rednecks. They would tell you they're rednecks yeah, but she says rednecks, just know how to have fun.

Tiffany Mason: 1:01:17

That's right.

Jay Franze: 1:01:18

When their workday is over, they play just as hard as they were Work hard, play hard.

Tiffany Mason: 1:01:22

Yeah, mm-hmm, it's very true, it's very true. And let me tell you what my dad worked, really freaking hard. There you go, okay, okay, there you go, okay. Number three Ella Langley with Weren't for the Wind.

Jay Franze: 1:01:39

Okay, weren't for the Wind. Can we go back to four for a minute?

Tiffany Mason: 1:01:42

Okay.

Jay Franze: 1:01:43

Four, when you were describing the song to me, that reminded me of my wife's grandfather, Because whenever we'd go to his house he'd be out. I mean, he was 90-something years old, 91 years old oh wow, and he's out working the farm.

Tiffany Mason: 1:01:58

It goes to show, though I mean, our little pansy lives now, Whereas those people had to work hard.

Jay Franze: 1:02:04

Yeah, and he was doing it by choice. 91 years old, you don't have to be working the farm. Yeah, but he insisted on keeping his farm and he worked it.

Tiffany Mason: 1:02:14

Good for him. Yeah, I love that.

Jay Franze: 1:02:17

He was an impressive man and a very tall man mm-hmm, he's a few dollars all farmer boy yeah, and we know you are very tall. Seven to alright, six foot sorry all right, ella Langley, weren't for the wind.

Tiffany Mason: 1:02:33

Yeah, it weren't for the Wind. Yep, weren't for the wind. Sorry, it just came to me. I was trying to think of what the song was. Okay, number two this has recently become like really a big Hannah and I sang this song probably five times today alone. Morgan Wallen, just in Case. I really like this song he's talking about. He's hung up on this girl and when he falls in love he never says those three words and he always leaves a little space just in case.

Jay Franze: 1:03:04

Yeah, yeah, okay, I listened to that song today. As a matter of fact, oh yeah, I noticed the country station here in town plays the same ten songs over and over and over again so I could tune into that station and hear these songs. So that's one of the songs that's being rotated right now.

Tiffany Mason: 1:03:23

Yes, I know it's nice to do radio, because then you hear like what's latest, greatest, whatever. But part of me feels like that's also what's been paid to be put out. You know the political side of it. And then it also gets overplayed and then it's like, oh man, I liked it until I heard it every five seconds, right, you know like Fancy, like yeah, I'm fancy, like apple bees on a late night. Yeah, I still like the song, though.

Jay Franze: 1:03:52

I know. I do still like that one, that is not a song that I would like, but for whatever reason, I like it.

Tiffany Mason: 1:04:00

Well, that's pretty clever.

Jay Franze: 1:04:01

That was a big TikTok song for a long time too.

Tiffany Mason: 1:04:03

Oh yeah, oh yeah. I knew the TikTok dance of the time too. I was pretty proud of myself.

Jay Franze: 1:04:10

Nice.

Tiffany Mason: 1:04:11

Walker Hayes.

Jay Franze: 1:04:13

My daughters were big on doing that and stuff.

Tiffany Mason: 1:04:15

Oh yeah, hannah too. All right, do Hayes? My daughters were big on doing that and stuff. Oh yeah, hannah too. Alright, do you have the drumroll button, jay, okay.

Jay Franze: 1:04:22

Tell me when you're ready.

Tiffany Mason: 1:04:25

Number one is Corey Kent, with this Heart.

Jay Franze: 1:04:31

Such a big pause in there. I thought you were going to do something else. Corey Kent, congratulations. Two buttons.

MacKenzie Leigh: 1:04:43

I am proud of you. Who's your daddy?

Jay Franze: 1:04:47

Oh shit, call back the last week if you don't know. Anyways, yeah.

Tiffany Mason: 1:04:54

Oh, I know.

Jay Franze: 1:04:55

I know you do.

Tiffany Mason: 1:05:00

I know you do what you wear.

Jay Franze: 1:05:01

know I know you do I know you do, I know you do. Cory kent all right, I don't know much about him. Didn't go to a wedding with him me neither he's too new he's too new can't argue with being number one on the charts. But, joanne, good for you, congratulations.

Tiffany Mason: 1:05:16

Also, who is it?

Jay Franze: 1:05:18

See you at the next wedding. Alright, let's move on. Let's do a little artist spotlight here. Zane Williams. We talked about Zane Williams last week and I wanted to just dive a little deeper into him, because not only do you not know him, but there's a good chance, a lot of other people don't know him as well. So he is from the Texas area, he's another Texas singer-songwriter, but when I first met him it was a while back and his music was very simple. At the time it was just him and a guitar and he was singing these songs. Especially being in Nashville, you hear a lot of people doing acoustic vocal songs, just sitting there with a guitar and singing, yeah, but they all start to sound the same after a while. You hear the same guitar, vocal, guitar, vocal, guitar, vocal. But Zane had a way of making the guitar sound different and it was captivating, making the guitar sound different and it was captivating.

Jay Franze: 1:06:16

You'd sit there and watch him because he's an impressive guitar player and then his vocal was very impressive as well, and we talk about storytelling a lot. He has his way of telling a story. So his earlier records were very guitar vocal storytelling records. But he's got one out right now, the Hands of a Working man, which is a little bit more produced and I like it.

Jay Franze: 1:06:43

You know I like it a lot. It's a very good sounding record. It's one of those you know more of that raspier type, sound and grittier as we talk about, and it has a story behind it, like you, like I do like. But what I found impressive was he produced it himself.

Tiffany Mason: 1:07:01

Oh wow, that is impressive.

Jay Franze: 1:07:04

Good for you, Zane.

MacKenzie Leigh: 1:07:05

Yeah.

Jay Franze: 1:07:05

Very good Now he worked with. Luke Wooten was the engineer, so that's good, and there was others. Tom Faulkner was also an engineer. He was the mixing engineer, so zane didn't partake in that, which to me. He was giving the instructions to what the musicians were performing and he was relying on the engineers to translate those instructions. Capture that recording.

Tiffany Mason: 1:07:37

Yeah.

Tiffany Mason: 1:07:39

So, it's very cool. I did have a deep appreciation for the lyrics, absolutely, and what I liked about it, or how I knew I liked it, is I played it and I was doing something else, right, like I wanted to get like a feel for the sound and then I was going to dig into the lyrics. So I had it just kind of playing and it played like three or four times and by like the third or fourth time I was able to sing along with a couple of parts which I'm a big sing along fan, because I like the lyrics and I like the story and I want to portray it myself. But I also I know that I like a song if it can play multiple times in a row and I'm not like ugh, shut this off. It had a great sound to me, great storyline. I agree with the grit. It had a little bit heavier guitar, which I know are edgier guitar, and so I thought it was great.

Jay Franze: 1:08:28

Yeah, it had that melodic. What do we say familiarity to it that? It had a good melody that was easy to sing along to but wasn't too predictable. So, I did like that and it had that old-timey feel to it. I think he has an old-timey artist feel to me as well. When I even looking at him, he looks like an old-time singer-songwriter.

Tiffany Mason: 1:08:57

I didn't look up his face.

Jay Franze: 1:08:58

You should.

Tiffany Mason: 1:09:00

I was focused on the music, jay, I still imagery cloud your opinions.

Jay Franze: 1:09:06

But yeah, so his, his music. I think it had um an emotional feel to it, a little bit of romance.

Tiffany Mason: 1:09:16

Yes, I would agree with that.

Jay Franze: 1:09:17

I won't say it was lovely. Because, who says that Only my poor friend.

Tiffany Mason: 1:09:23

Janelle.

Jay Franze: 1:09:24

But it was emotional for sure.

Tiffany Mason: 1:09:26

Yeah, I liked it. Yeah, I thought it was great. I would listen to it many times more.

Jay Franze: 1:09:31

You okay over there.

Tiffany Mason: 1:09:32

He was born in the same year. My sister was.

Jay Franze: 1:09:34

What year was that?

Tiffany Mason: 1:09:36

77. Same year, my okay over there. He was born the same year.

Jay Franze: 1:09:36

My sister was what year was that? 77. Same year my wife was 76, I think. I also think that zane, um, he's kind of like zach top, zach tops, bringing back like 90s style zane is bringing back, like the original country style I would agree with that, and you're right.

Tiffany Mason: 1:09:54

in his images, he definitely has that image too. He's even got a stoic picture he's not smiling.

Jay Franze: 1:10:00

Isn't that the best type of photo? No, I say that because she gave me a hard time for our photo together where I'm not.

Tiffany Mason: 1:10:09

But that one's not stoic. I know you're smiling, but people who don't know you don't know you're smiling, they think you're being stoic. Yeah, smiling, but people who don't know you don't know you're smiling, they think you're being stoic, yeah, but hey, I see your smile.

Jay Franze: 1:10:27

No, no, I saw you smile before. I don't know if you have. I don't know all right so zane williams. If you haven't had a chance to check him out, I would highly recommend checking him out. He is touring right now. He's in Texas, his home state.

Tiffany Mason: 1:10:42

I wonder if he'll be popping up in any of the benefits that are going to be put on.

Jay Franze: 1:10:47

That I don't know. That's actually a very good question.

Tiffany Mason: 1:10:51

I'm sure a lot of artists are trying to get in on that for exposure, but also for a great cause. Be part of the solution.

Jay Franze: 1:10:58

Yeah, I would hope that people are doing it for the right reasons. Absolutely.

Tiffany Mason: 1:11:02

Oh yeah, I think, so too, I agree.

Jay Franze: 1:11:04

But, yes, do not miss the opportunity to see him. Kenny, he's near you.

Tiffany Mason: 1:11:09

Oh yeah.

Jay Franze: 1:11:12

What else you got going on, my friend?

Tiffany Mason: 1:11:14

What else you got going on, my friend? Well, I actually am part of a networking group and this lady started a podcast that yours truly is producing the audio, and it's called why we Started. She's interviewing entrepreneurs about why they started their business and yours truly was featured. So I was one of the guests on her podcast. I am going to put it on my website as well, but it called why we started and you guys can check it out. It's the first episode and it's all about me, because I'm sure you guys are like, oh my gosh, she's amazing. That's right. That's what people are thinking like wait, I can hear her more. Yes, you can. And then I think I'm going to make a trip to Iowa for the Iowa State Fair.

Jay Franze: 1:12:02

Did you not invite me?

Tiffany Mason: 1:12:05

No, no, I did not. My family's there.

Jay Franze: 1:12:08

I'm going to see my family. Can I not see your family?

Tiffany Mason: 1:12:10

I'd like to start dating your mom. You can if you want. I don't think her husband would like it, but she does like your bedroom voice.

Jay Franze: 1:12:20

And what is she wearing?

Tiffany Mason: 1:12:24

Probably a t-shirt, some shorts. It's not new. I got her some orthopedic flip-flops Now you're selling it, she just had knee replacements.

Jay Franze: 1:12:33

You're selling it now, Sorry.

Tiffany Mason: 1:12:34

Mom, I love you Mom. Yeah, so I'm going to go check out the Iowa State Fair. I don't know if you've ever been. You guys, these are epic fairs. I have to imagine it's like the Texas State Fair, but you guys, these are amazing fairs.

Jay Franze: 1:12:50

It's bigger in.

Tiffany Mason: 1:12:51

Texas. Yeah Well, we went to the fairs in, like other states, and we're like, wait, this, this is their fair. Like we're so confused because they do it awesome. So Iowa has a grand, the grandstand, and if I had to call it something I'd call it a small venue. So you know, like every seat is good.

And I was like, hey, we're thinking about coming, we'd like to do the Iowa State Fair and you know, my boy, forrest Frank, is going to be there, and so I was really wanting to see Forrest Frank. Oddly enough, the Christian artist tickets were more expensive than the country artist tickets. I was like, what is happening here? Forrest Frank definitely has a unique style. He kind of, I guess he kind of raps or I don't know. They're insanely upbeat, they're really fun to sing to and they kind of have a rap component to them, like a gentle rap or something I don't know Easy listening rap. So I do love that he is performing.

Tiffany Mason: 1:13:50

And then my sister was like, oh, I think Megan Maroney's the next night and Hannah's been dying to see Megan. Oh yeah. And when I called my sister to say hey, we might be coming, she was like, oh, I think megan maroney's the next night and hannah's been dying to see megan, oh yeah. And when I called my sister to say hey, we might be coming, she was like, okay, well, I won't be there thursday night because we're going to jesse murph. I'm like you've got to be kidding me. I wish I had more money in my bank right now so I could take hannah to jesse murph, forest frank and megan maroney, but that would be a blockbuster weekend that would cost me a pretty penny.

Jay Franze: 1:14:16

That's what happens when you have a yacht. I know.

Tiffany Mason: 1:14:20

All your money goes to the yacht. It's expensive to maintain. That's right.

Jay Franze: 1:14:23

Well, last week we talked about our conversation with the band Gradients. Yes, that was released this week, so if you want to check it out, please do Gradients, but it was definitely a fun interview. They were cool people to talk to. And then the other thing I'm excited about my friend is I heard from miss rocky rose.

Tiffany Mason: 1:14:44

We mentioned her earlier in the show yes she is coming to town with miss cindy lopper I know, I say it like that because I'm bummed, I'm missing it.

Jay Franze: 1:14:55

Not my fault.

Tiffany Mason: 1:14:56

I know, I know.

Jay Franze: 1:14:58

But I'm going to go enjoy some Cyndi Lauper. Yes, I'm going to see my good friend Miss Rocky Rose.

Tiffany Mason: 1:15:06

Rocky Rose. Oh, that's so awesome.

Jay Franze: 1:15:08

I mentioned, she was a Berkeley student that went on to the London Conservatory. When she was at Berkeley that's when I met her I got a chance to produce her first album. She actually wrote a solo album before she went to work with all these other artists, so I had a chance to go in the studio and record that album with her. That's pretty cool. It's very cool. She was also on the show.

Tiffany Mason: 1:15:33

I get emotionally overwhelmed with cool experiences and music very easily and I feel like if I watch somebody record their music, I feel like it would be so moving, I think I would cry, I think I would Like just to be immersed in like all of the stuff you know like. Just so cool. I just can't even imagine.

Jay Franze: 1:16:00

There's been times. You know you get emotional sometimes when you see some extreme talent in a room, when you see, people that are just beyond compare. You know, you see these people perform, you're like wow. But when you see people perform, it's like that wow factor. But then there's also like a writer who writes this killer emotional song and you're like wow. But when you see people perform, it's like that wow factor. But then there's also like a writer who writes this killer emotional song, Lee Bryce, when we were in the studio and he did, I Drive your Truck.

Jay Franze: 1:16:26

Oh, forget about it, oh man, dear God, if you weren't shedding a tear in that room that day, you're not human. Yeah, and that one hurt. That was some of the best musicians in the world, greatest writers All of the pieces came together on that one.

Tiffany Mason: 1:16:43

Yep, perfect start to get a bunch of guys crying there you go.

Jay Franze: 1:16:50

How often is it you get to have guys cry right there? You go, either take them to your daughter's dance competitions or you go listen to Lee Bryce, you know, eh, all right, my friend, going to land the plane Any objections?

Tiffany Mason: 1:17:03

Nope, I'm ready. Pilot Jay, Try not to crash this thing. Mayday, mayday, mayday. It's a rough landing.
