00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.919
Who makes a million dollars and gives it

00:00:02.320 --> 00:00:06.919
all away? Oh, we did

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:13.310
[Music]

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:17.680
and I get a call one day. Hey, my name's

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:20.000
Ace from the Ace and TJ show. I'm hiring

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:21.600
you to get me through this gig.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.880
>> Created this thing. We're going to give

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.560
all the money to charity.

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:27.119
>> And it was going to be the only gig. It

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:28.960
was Shane, Eric, Clifton, myself, and

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:30.720
Ace. He goes, "Do you think you could

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.320
learn 30 songs in like three weeks?"

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:34.239
>> Cuz I've never been in a band before. I

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:36.559
don't really know what I'm looking for.

00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:38.719
>> They hired the wrong guy if they only

00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:40.719
wanted to play one show. Uh, as people

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:43.680
found out about it, you know, two became

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:44.879
three became five. It just kind of began

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:47.520
to grow.

00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:49.039
>> And it was all born out of why can't we?

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.360
Didn't know it was coming but was not

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:53.280
surprised. Entire 17 years is how do we

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:56.800
make the show bigger, better, faster,

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:58.399
better? A lot is good. More is better.

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:00.800
more than that, we might be getting

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:02.160
somewhere. And if it's completely insane

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:04.479
and over the top,

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:05.920
>> fire shot up in the air and you can see

00:01:04.479 --> 00:01:08.400
people in the crowd go like, "Oh my

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:10.880
god." Now we're a charity case. We

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:14.159
became a money-making machine. I think

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:16.640
it was 2005. We did 35 shows that year.

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:19.119
We're not doing a charity concert. Every

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.080
concert is for charity. This is not

00:01:19.119 --> 00:01:24.400
normal. And those crowds were insane.

00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:26.159
This is an infield at a NASCAR race on a

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.159
Saturday night. We had to be escorted

00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:31.439
out by the police. We had incited a

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:34.560
riot. They went crazy.

00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:36.880
My kidney was failing and I was so sick.

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.439
>> Uh-oh. They couldn't fix me. It was

00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:38.960
scary.

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.079
>> You go through great things and hard

00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:41.439
things with people, right?

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.640
>> You don't come back from that.

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.159
>> It's a lifetime thing.

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.240
>> If you study bands at all, you know that

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.680
their life cycle is pretty short and

00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:49.119
there's egos and there's fighting over

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.880
money and things like that. And we never

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:52.799
had those problems because we never made

00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:54.240
any money and nobody was getting any

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.240
more than anybody else cuz nobody was

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:58.880
getting anything. They are some of the

00:01:56.240 --> 00:01:59.200
most genuine people that you'd ever

00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:01.119
meet.

00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:03.840
>> I ended up meeting my husband as a

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:07.119
result of the show. Lifelong friends.

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.720
>> Five guys absolutely nothing in common.

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:10.399
>> This is the world's most original cover

00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:12.160
band. You're going to come see the show.

00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:14.400
Everybody has a good time. And when it's

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:16.239
all said and done, you'll be tired and

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:18.080
sweaty and can't wait for the next time.

00:02:16.239 --> 00:02:19.920
If I can go back in time, I'd probably

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:22.720
book him every weekend.

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:25.270
>> Music was just what we did, but the

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:32.770
brotherhood was what we were.

00:02:25.270 --> 00:02:32.770
[Applause]
