4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:33,000
It's the Kaden Gordon Show.

5
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:41,000
If I could write you a song to right my wrong, I'd write a happy ending.

6
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Truth be told, I'm growing cold, a keep ending, a pretending.

7
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,000
In a roundabout way, I start my day loving you.

8
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:10,000
When the day is through, the only truth is there's no loving you.

9
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
There's no loving you.

10
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:29,000
I've been falling way behind, while you were waiting for a light to shine.

11
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:38,000
With these shadows on my heart, my love is hiding in the dark from you.

12
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:45,000
I know you're lonesome, I misplaced your heartbeat.

13
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Fell apart and that was never my intention.

14
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,000
You've been used in little abuse, I wish you'd have mentioned.

15
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:11,000
I've been falling way behind, while you were waiting for a light to shine.

16
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:20,000
With these shadows on my heart, my love is hiding in the dark from you.

17
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Soon I'll be lonesome too. With these shadows on my heart, my love is hiding in the dark from you.

18
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Soon I'll be lonesome too.

19
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:06,000
I've been falling way behind, while you were waiting for a light to shine.

20
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:16,000
With these shadows on my heart, my love is hiding in the dark from you.

21
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Soon I'll be lonesome too. With these shadows on my heart, my love is hiding in the dark from you.

22
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Soon I'll be lonesome too. Baby, I'll be lonesome without you when you're gone.

23
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,000
The moment your eyes locked on mine, I knew it was gonna be a hell of a ride.

24
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Blonde hair blowing in the east coast wind, it's like you were true godsend.

25
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Rolling fish out of Broken Heart Boulevard, you and I were getting in that car.

26
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Going anywhere we wanted to go, but I, yeah.

27
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,000
I fell in love in the middle of a back road. Looking back, I can't believe I didn't know.

28
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Your heart was matching the beat in mine. Keeping rhythm and keeping time.

29
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:47,000
There's no way you know where this road's gonna go, but the only thing that I really need to know is wherever you go, I go.

30
00:04:47,000 --> 00:05:02,000
I fell in love in the middle of a back road.

31
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Moonlight shining right off the rear view. Hockey talk ain't just got nothing on you.

32
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,000
You got my heart scared of skipping a beat and we ain't even left this front seat.

33
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Sunrise is gonna be the death of me, cause I know with the morning light you'll have to leave.

34
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,000
But I know that this ain't goodbye.

35
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:31,000
I fell in love in the middle of a back road. Looking back, I can't believe I didn't know.

36
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,000
Your heart was matching the beat in mine. Keeping rhythm and keeping time.

37
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:46,000
There's no way you know where this road's gonna go, but the only thing that I really need to know is wherever you go, I go.

38
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,000
I fell in love in the middle of a back road.

39
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:00,000
In the middle of a back road.

40
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Yeah, the stars are shining from your eyes like diamonds and sun is coming out on the horizon. Feel more free than I ever thought I could be.

41
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,000
I fell in love in the middle of a back road. Looking back, I can't believe I didn't know.

42
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Your heart was matching the beat in mine. Keeping rhythm and keeping time.

43
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:33,000
There's no way you know where this road's gonna go, but the only thing that I really need to know is wherever you go, I go.

44
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:39,000
I fell in love in the middle of a back road.

45
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:54,000
I fell in love in the middle of a back road.

46
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:07,000
I've been here a hundred years a day. Been through fire, snow, wind and rain.

47
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:17,000
You're always welcome, my new friend.

48
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:27,000
My doors are open, so come on in.

49
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:37,000
I've seen rich and I've seen poor. Wearing out my hardwood floors.

50
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Inside these walls they found their way. Students sang amazing grace.

51
00:07:47,000 --> 00:08:09,000
I'm in a white church with a red roof at the edge of town. It's where I serve my time. Sitting on sacred ground.

52
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:31,000
I got a belt that rings real true. A holy book in every pew. A carnival bed and a cross on the wall.

53
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:42,000
My new friend, you can come and take it all.

54
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:51,000
I've seen rich and I've seen poor. Wearing out my hardwood floors.

55
00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Inside these walls they found their way. Students sang amazing grace.

56
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:24,000
I'm in a white church with a red roof at the edge of town. I guess I serve my time. Cause tomorrow you're gonna tear me down.

57
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Tears of joy and wedding gowns. Baptized babies too many to count. Folks in caskets and vans.

58
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:46,000
I've seen rich and I've seen poor. Wearing out my hardwood floors.

59
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Inside these walls they found their way. Students sang amazing grace.

60
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:20,000
I'm in a white church with a red roof at the edge of town. I guess I serve my time. Cause tomorrow you're gonna tear me down.

61
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Oh no, no, no, no, no. Gonna tear me down.

62
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:06,000
The whippoorwills are singing out in the wind. Fire up the silver ruin. Let's all jump in.

63
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Don't you know, don't you know. A country road may take us until the end. But the big better deal is just around the bend. Don't you know, don't you know.

64
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:54,000
It's a beautiful, it's a beautiful day. Blue diamond skies are on their way. Soaking up the sun I've got to say. It's a beautiful, it's a beautiful day.

65
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Throw down the map because we've no place to go. Follow the eagles path to where the river flows. Don't you know, don't you know.

66
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:32,000
We're born to shimmer and we're born to shine. Forever live in my heart until the end of time. Don't you know, don't you know.

67
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:53,000
It's a beautiful, it's a beautiful day. Blue diamond skies are on their way. Soaking up the sun I've got to say. It's a beautiful, it's a beautiful day.

68
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Sit on a broken fence and capture what you see. Chew on a piece of grass under a dogwood tree. The time has come too fast and I hate to leave so soon. Good news we have a guide underneath the flower moon.

69
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:50,000
It's a beautiful, it's a beautiful day. Blue diamond skies are on their way. Soaking up the sun I've got to say.

70
00:13:50,000 --> 00:14:18,000
It's a beautiful, it's a beautiful day. It's a beautiful, it's a beautiful day. It's a beautiful, it's a beautiful day.

71
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:34,400
That was the Michael Bate Band.

72
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,160
Beautiful day right here on the K-Dick Gordon Show today's Best Country Mix.

73
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,160
Earlier you heard Tim McGeary, The Church, Austin Adkins fell in love in the middle of

74
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:48,520
the back road and Dave Nudo with Lonesome right here on the K-Dick Gordon Show today's

75
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,080
Best Country Mix.

76
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,360
And right now we are going to do an interview with Justin Turk and Elaine Ballas.

77
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,360
So stay tuned.

78
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,240
Hello and welcome to the K-Dick Gordon Show today's Best Country Mix.

79
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,960
Joining me right here today is Justin Turk.

80
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,960
Justin, how are you?

81
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,640
I'm great.

82
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,140
So let's get started here.

83
00:15:09,140 --> 00:15:13,920
Why don't we get to know you a little bit and how you got started in doing music?

84
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:14,920
Yeah.

85
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:20,320
Well, I got started doing music at a young age.

86
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:28,720
I was about I think 12 years old when I first started playing the guitar and I wrote and

87
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,680
recorded my first song at the age of 14.

88
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:38,720
I was singing as young as I can remember, which is kind of where my love for music started

89
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,280
because I just love to sing.

90
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,520
And yeah, it's where I am today.

91
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:53,800
I'm 33 years old now, so I've been doing it for quite some time.

92
00:15:53,800 --> 00:16:00,880
What is it about music that you absolutely enjoy about it, Justin?

93
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:08,960
I think the aspect of music I enjoy the most would be the writing aspect.

94
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:18,360
I just have a very creative personality, creative mind, and it's a good way for me to express

95
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,200
that.

96
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:30,080
But I also love how music could almost sound like a time machine, trigger memories in a

97
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:36,800
way that not a lot of things can.

98
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,800
If someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would take the

99
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,360
time to write about?

100
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,360
About me?

101
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,360
Oh, man, I don't know.

102
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,760
I'm sure I have a lot of good reasons for things that someone could write a song about.

103
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,960
That's a hard question.

104
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:04,280
I don't know, I think it would be cool to hear someone write a song about me, though.

105
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,280
Anyone out there?

106
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:13,640
Yeah, I mean, it definitely would be interesting for sure.

107
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:20,040
Justin kind of walked me through a day to day of Justin Turk.

108
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,800
So my day to day.

109
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:29,760
Since I do, I'm not just a musician, I work a full time job, help fund the music, because

110
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,760
it's not cheap.

111
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:37,120
Kind of being an independent artist and funding these types of things on your own, it does

112
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:38,120
cost money.

113
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:47,520
So my day to day is really I wake up in the morning around 4.30, 5 o'clock, get ready

114
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:54,640
for work, head out, drive to work, I work as a health and safety manager for construction

115
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,640
sites.

116
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:03,280
I'll go out to the job site and do the morning muster with the guys, get everyone ready,

117
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,240
orient people who need to be oriented, initiate permits, stuff like that.

118
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:19,120
So my spare time, I'm writing music, recording music.

119
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:22,440
Do you have any advice to those who might want to start doing music, whether that be

120
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:28,920
writing, singing, performing, what would you tell them?

121
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,120
I mean, just do what works best for you.

122
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:37,040
I mean, there's so many different avenues you can go down, whether you want to be a

123
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:43,560
recording artist or just behind the scenes or a ghostwriter, just write lyrics.

124
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:52,400
There's a lot of people that try to do more than what they could do and they kind of might

125
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,880
put some roadblocks on their path to success.

126
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:09,240
But yeah, I mean, getting into music as a recording artist, I would say, record the

127
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,920
best quality music and the best songs.

128
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,360
Don't record things because you wrote them.

129
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:19,200
Don't waste money on cheap recordings.

130
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,000
Spend top dollar on the best song that you have.

131
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,280
One song is all you need.

132
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,320
Top dollar, best song you have.

133
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,600
And then promote the hell out of it with the rest of your funds.

134
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Get your name out there.

135
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:37,480
A big trap I see a lot of artists do is they'll write a bunch of songs, record as many as

136
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,840
they can, and then they're broke and then they don't have money for promotion and they

137
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,920
can't get themselves to the masses.

138
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,440
Exactly.

139
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:57,200
It's one of those things where not only budgeting correctly, but promotion is important, whether

140
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,720
you self-promote or not.

141
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,440
A lot of artists do that nowadays.

142
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,440
They do self-promote.

143
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:11,680
Yeah, the important part about self-promotion is how you're doing it.

144
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:21,080
A lot of artists do small, cheap, little Spotify playlist promotions and YouTube playlist promotions

145
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,040
or whatever, anything like that.

146
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:28,880
They'll get a nice little spike in streams, but it's not really doing them anything in

147
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:29,880
the long run.

148
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:40,200
What I recommend is invest in a well-renowned PR company, Public Relations, that's really

149
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,160
going to get your stuff out to the right people.

150
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,160
That could be expensive.

151
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:51,520
That could be anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 a month.

152
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:57,920
They recommend at least six months of promotion or three, three at least.

153
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:03,520
Justin, do you have any upcoming singles or projects you want to tell us a little bit

154
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:04,520
about?

155
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:11,880
Yeah, so I just released a single about three weeks ago, four weeks ago.

156
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,080
It's called Truth and Lies.

157
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:18,000
It's a new hard rock track that I just came out with.

158
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,520
I'm also going to be releasing a new track at the end of this month, another hard rock

159
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,640
track that's more so alternative metal.

160
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,960
That'll be May 26th.

161
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,480
That's going to release.

162
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:40,280
It'll be available on all the streaming, social media, platform, anywhere you can find it.

163
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:46,040
It'll be there.

164
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,600
Where can people find more about you?

165
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,000
Where can they find you?

166
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:57,400
The best place to find the information about me would be my website, which would be justinturk.com.

167
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,000
What do you like doing outside of music?

168
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,720
Do you have any hobbies, interests, anything like that?

169
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:09,680
I like spending time with my family, wife and my kids.

170
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,080
Music's really my thing.

171
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:25,280
I like being out in nature, doing outdoor activities, stuff like that.

172
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,640
If you had one message to tell anyone that might be listening, whether that be your fans,

173
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,560
my fans or anyone out there, what would you tell them?

174
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,560
One message?

175
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:44,120
Just follow your dreams and don't give up.

176
00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:46,880
Do what you got to do.

177
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:54,140
Just remember that we create our own realities.

178
00:22:54,140 --> 00:22:56,200
I definitely agree with that.

179
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,640
That is definitely important.

180
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:01,640
Stay humble.

181
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,480
That's the best we can do.

182
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,480
Stay humble.

183
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,480
Absolutely.

184
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:11,880
Justin, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention here

185
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,880
on the show today?

186
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:15,880
Yeah.

187
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:16,880
Let's see.

188
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:23,200
How about a shout out to my new sponsor, Mitra 9.

189
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,160
Mitra 9 Brands.

190
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:32,280
They're a pretty awesome botanical beverage company, non-alcoholic.

191
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:40,240
They work with plants such as kratom and kava, which is really great for enhancing the mood

192
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,080
and helping with stress and anxiety.

193
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,120
They're great.

194
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:48,280
They taste great.

195
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:53,560
The kratom drinks are pretty much vegan.

196
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,560
They are vegan.

197
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,560
No sugars.

198
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,880
They're a little carbonated, but they're not bad for you.

199
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,880
They taste great.

200
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:04,880
I love them.

201
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:05,880
Highly recommend it.

202
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:12,160
If anyone's interested, you can use my discount code, turkmusic, all caps, and you'll get

Everyone, check that out.

206
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,680
Please do.

207
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,040
That will do the same thing.

208
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,640
Justin Turk, thank you so much for taking the time to come on The Kating Gordon Show

209
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,080
today's Best Country Mix.

210
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,080
Thank you for having me.

211
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,760
Hello and welcome to The Kating Gordon Show today's Best Country Mix.

212
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,960
Joining me back here on the show is Elaine Ballas.

213
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,120
Elaine, how are you?

214
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:46,640
I am doing great, but there we are.

215
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,240
Here is Mika.

216
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,080
She's all ready.

217
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,360
She's been waiting all morning and she took a bath yesterday and washed her hair so she'd

218
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:56,360
look great.

219
00:24:56,360 --> 00:24:57,360
Oh, that's wonderful.

220
00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:00,880
I'm glad that she's squeaky clean for the interview.

221
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,400
She is squeaky clean.

222
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:11,080
And before we get started, we want to say congratulations on your upcoming graduation

223
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:17,040
and all the good work that you've done and how you got all your college classes in while

224
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,360
still in high school.

225
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:23,680
Not all, but some of your college classes while still in high school.

226
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,880
So go Kating Gordon.

227
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,400
Oh, thank you, Elaine.

228
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,440
I appreciate that.

229
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,440
Congratulations there.

230
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:31,440
I appreciate it.

231
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:37,200
Well, I think it's great that you're working so hard and you've accomplished so much at

232
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,320
such a young age.

233
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,320
That's great.

234
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,320
So Elaine, why don't you-

235
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,560
We support you 100%.

236
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,360
Oh, that's great.

237
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:48,960
Oh, I appreciate that.

238
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:55,800
Well, I have some new and exciting news to share with you and your viewers.

239
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:56,800
Go ahead, tell us.

240
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:04,160
So I am going to tell you, I'm going to be doing a movie next month.

241
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:11,080
It got pushed back this month, but it's next month and it's called A Wonderful Life.

242
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:16,200
And it's just, I'm not going to give the whole thing away and we haven't filmed it yet, so

243
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:21,200
I can't tell you any secrets about the movie, but I'll come back after we filmed it and

244
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,240
tell you all about it.

245
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:31,400
But it's a Christmas movie and it's going to be Mika's debut in film and she's going

246
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,440
to be in it as well.

247
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:39,480
And it's just going to be a very, very lovely, romantic kind of comedy.

248
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,280
Although the director swears it's a drama with humor.

249
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:50,080
But I've been really excited about it because I wanted to work with this director for eight

250
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,160
years now.

251
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:59,560
He did another movie called, well, he actually did two movies that I just loved, but Best

252
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:04,000
Day Ever was where I met him and it won all kinds of awards.

253
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,520
And I said, I have to work with you.

254
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,020
So he said, okay.

255
00:27:08,020 --> 00:27:13,280
And then he was working on another movie, but he didn't like the way the script, he

256
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,080
kept changing it, didn't like the way it came out.

257
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,760
So he scrapped it and wrote a new movie.

258
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:24,560
And here we are eight years later, ready to do the movie.

259
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,400
And he is such a good director.

260
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:34,160
He's really, I think, one of the last of the great romantic comedies in that it could,

261
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,400
it's for anybody.

262
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:41,600
It could be two men, two women, a woman and her dog.

263
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,400
It could be a man and woman.

264
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,520
It could be anything, but it's basically about relationships.

265
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,440
And it's just, I love it.

266
00:27:53,440 --> 00:28:00,780
And then this week I'm going to be reading another script for a movie that they hope

267
00:28:00,780 --> 00:28:02,660
to get out for Christmas.

268
00:28:02,660 --> 00:28:08,040
So maybe I will be your Christmas special.

269
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,040
You never know.

270
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,120
You might end up in your stocking, your Christmas stocking.

271
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:18,160
So you'll hear it first, but that script I haven't received yet.

272
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:23,240
And they're going to do a very cold table read this week.

273
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,820
So I'll know more about it.

274
00:28:24,820 --> 00:28:30,020
So I can't even tell you the name of it because I don't know, but I do know it's a Christmas

275
00:28:30,020 --> 00:28:31,760
movie.

276
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:41,040
And then I did a show last year called Cocaine Sisters and it's a very interesting show.

277
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,840
I didn't work with the sisters.

278
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:52,760
I played a school teacher on it, but it's about how one of the sisters exes ends up

279
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,460
dropping off cocaine and they get involved in the whole drug scene.

280
00:28:57,460 --> 00:29:01,240
And that is currently on urban flicks.

281
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:07,200
So if you want to check it out, check it out on urban flicks and the rich and the ruthless,

282
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:12,840
which I did for four seasons is still on BET Plus playing.

283
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,160
So you can binge watch that.

284
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:23,920
And also you can watch on Vimeo Dracula's Bride of Horror.

285
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,520
So there's lots to see that I have out there.

286
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:33,920
And of course, my book, How to Write a Book Camp Elaine Style.

287
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,520
I only have a few left before we go into the next copy.

288
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:45,200
So if you want the original copy, go to my website, elainevallis.com and you can purchase

289
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,200
one of the, I think four remaining books.

290
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:56,880
So if you want one, it will be autographed and mailed to you in the continental US.

291
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,920
So the price is all inclusive.

292
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:03,080
If they're out of the continental US, I'm not sure what the postage is.

293
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,480
So you would be charged for both.

294
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,720
I have been doing, will be doing and am doing.

295
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,920
But the most exciting thing is I'm on your show.

296
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,080
Yes, absolutely.

297
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,580
We are so happy to have you here.

298
00:30:17,580 --> 00:30:25,400
So Elaine, if someone was to write a movie about you, what do you think that they would

299
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,640
write about?

300
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,480
Oh my goodness.

301
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,840
You know, I think the thing it's really funny because I've been running into more people

302
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:46,960
lately who also ice skated and I think perseverance, tenacity, dedication and passion.

303
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:52,880
I think they would write about those and they would.

304
00:30:52,880 --> 00:31:00,240
Oh no, Mika just ate my pen and Mika.

305
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,160
Oh no, wait a second.

306
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,000
Hold on.

307
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,080
She ate the plastic part.

308
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,480
She ate the plastic part.

309
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,360
I can't believe you did that.

310
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,360
This just ends.

311
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,760
She ate the plastic part, everybody.

312
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,560
She ate the plastic part.

313
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,440
Well, actually I retrieved it.

314
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:21,440
Sorry about that.

315
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,440
No, you're good.

316
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:27,280
Otherwise we would have been saying, well, we'll be back shortly because I would have

317
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,480
had to take her to the doctor to get it out.

318
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:39,600
She, you know, she has all this great food, steak, chicken, salmon, and then she eats

319
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,440
anything she can.

320
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,440
I don't get it.

321
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,040
Mika.

322
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:52,720
That she always choose the last, the bottom part or choose my pens.

323
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,360
So I have to steal other pens, I guess.

324
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,440
And you know what?

325
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,360
She used to love these bones.

326
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:06,640
She used to have these great bones and what she would do is she would eat them and that

327
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,400
was fine.

328
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,920
Now she decides that she no longer wants to eat the bones.

329
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:18,440
She'd rather eat my pens and she hides her bones.

330
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:19,720
So I don't know.

331
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,900
Mika is just being mischievous.

332
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:26,320
She washed her hair and she can't do a thing with it.

333
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,040
Mika.

334
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:37,160
Are you going to tell everybody what you're doing and what you're eating?

335
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,160
She left.

336
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,160
Mika.

337
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,160
She knows.

338
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,160
She knows.

339
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,880
Here she comes.

340
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,360
She knows.

341
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,080
She just has to be the star.

342
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:57,360
So anyway, if they were to write a book about my life, I think the thing that they would

343
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:06,080
find is the passion I have for acting or doing whatever it is I choose to do at the time,

344
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:13,680
the dedication I give to it, the perseverance for never giving up and the tenacity of just

345
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,240
staying with it.

346
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,840
So I think it would be that kind of a story.

347
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:21,840
Never give up.

348
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:26,400
And that's what's really kind of good about my book because how to write a book campy

349
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,400
lane style.

350
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:34,040
Sometimes people just need to get started and they need support and think that they

351
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,240
can't do it or their life isn't interesting.

352
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:44,280
But anything anyone does, I think is very interesting because that way people get to

353
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:51,600
know about you or where you may want to be in ten years or what your legacy was for people

354
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:56,920
who are older and they say, you know, my life wasn't very exciting.

355
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,560
And then they start writing and they see what their life really was.

356
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:07,600
And they have a legacy to leave for their friends, their family, a stranger who might

357
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,120
find their book.

358
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:17,000
And to me, that's the most important thing because when I started doing it, it was about,

359
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:22,920
you know, it was during the pandemic and then the news media was telling us everything that

360
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,120
we should know.

361
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:32,960
And I think the best thing is your truth and that's what you have to do.

362
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:38,040
I don't know where Mika is finding all these little things to pick up, but she certainly

363
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,040
is being mischievous.

364
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,160
Do you want to come up here and say hi to everybody, Mika?

365
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,600
You're being exceedingly mischievous today.

366
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:47,600
Exceedingly.

367
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:54,680
Oh, she's I don't know what she is doing, but she is just being mischievous.

368
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,800
Come on, say hello to everybody.

369
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,480
They're waiting for you.

370
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:00,480
Your fans are waiting.

371
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:08,920
If they were to write a book about you, what would you say?

372
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,340
If they were to write a book about me, that's a good question.

373
00:35:12,340 --> 00:35:15,560
That's actually I asked about a movie, but BookWricks too.

374
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,520
Or a spy or a movie.

375
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,800
We'll let them do the book first and then they'll do the movie from the book and you'll

376
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,800
get more money.

377
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,800
There you go.

378
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:25,800
That works.

379
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:26,800
That works.

380
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:27,920
That's a good question.

381
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:33,000
I think that they would write about my generosity and my professionalism.

382
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,480
I think that's what they would write about for both.

383
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:42,640
You are exceedingly generous and you are exceedingly professional.

384
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,960
So I think it's good.

385
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:50,880
And at such a young age, because a lot of people don't understand or realize and other

386
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:55,440
people are counting on you and relying on you.

387
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,040
And it takes a lot.

388
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:07,360
It takes good character to be as generous and as kind and professional as you are.

389
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,240
And we're going to work on that with Mika.

390
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:10,240
Hi Mika.

391
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:15,360
Instead of getting into trouble, you're going to be professional when the camera's on.

392
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:16,360
Aren't you?

393
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,360
Aren't you?

394
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,440
I'm afraid to let her down.

395
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,680
She is finding all kinds of things on the floor.

396
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,680
Aren't you Mika?

397
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,240
I don't know.

398
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:29,520
She never is like this.

399
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:34,800
But today I guess she decided she washed her hair and she couldn't do a thing with it.

400
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:39,720
So she's going to clean the house.

401
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:43,000
She's going to clean the house.

402
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,480
So when do you, when you graduate, then when do you start school?

403
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,400
What are your summer plans?

404
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,400
My summer plans.

405
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,400
Ooh.

406
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,640
July, I'm going to be going to Nashville.

407
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,480
So that's going to be exciting.

408
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:04,160
And after my graduation, and we got, I got invited to go to a concert to see Thomas Rett

409
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:05,160
for free.

410
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,400
So there's a lot going on in the next couple of few months.

411
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,760
Are you going to be able to do your show?

412
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,760
Are you going to do your show in Nashville?

413
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,320
Yeah, I'll still do my show.

414
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,320
And that's a possibility.

415
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,320
Yeah, I might.

416
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:24,720
Oh, just think of all the artists you'll have in Nashville.

417
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:25,720
You are right.

418
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:26,720
You are definitely right there.

419
00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:29,440
Have you ever been to Nashville?

420
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,440
I've never been.

421
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:31,440
I've never been.

422
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:32,440
This is my first time.

423
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:33,440
Oh, good.

424
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:39,800
Well, we'll have to do a show with you and you'll tell us all about Nashville and then

425
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,080
we can all learn and share in your experience.

426
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,080
Absolutely.

427
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:53,000
So, Elaine, if people want to learn more about you, where can they find you?

428
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,620
I am all over the internet.

429
00:37:55,620 --> 00:38:06,320
They can go to my website, which is Elaine, E-L-A-I-N-E, Ballas, B as in boy, A-L-L-A-C-E,

430
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:07,400
dot com.

431
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:12,640
They can start there and it has all kinds of information.

432
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:18,960
They can see my videos from Camp Elaine, the old ones from Camp Elaine.

433
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:23,880
They can go to IMDB Elaine Ballas.

434
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:28,760
And there are other videos there from different work that I've done.

435
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:36,600
And there's a movie trailer from Free Lunch Express, which was a parody about Bernie Sanders.

436
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,640
And I was so hoping Bernie was going to make it to the White House so we could premiere

437
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,680
the movie at the White House.

438
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,800
Wouldn't that have been fun?

439
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,160
It was so close, yet so far.

440
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:56,120
And then they could find me anywhere on social media, on Instagram, at Elaine Ballas, at

441
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:02,720
Facebook, at Elaine Ballas, at Twitter, at Elaine Ballas.

442
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:06,200
So there's no excuse for them not to contact me.

443
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:14,360
And like I said, with the book, How to Write a Book Camp Elaine Style, there are only about

444
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:19,200
four left that are the original print.

445
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:28,800
So if you want to be in the top four of getting the book, please go to my website and purchase

446
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:29,800
it.

447
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:30,800
You will love it.

448
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:31,800
I promise you.

449
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:39,280
And it's something that will give you inspiration to either move forward, what you've done with

450
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:44,840
your life, what you might want to change about your life, and it's all going to be in your

451
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:45,840
writing.

452
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,560
So I am your guide, your cheerleader, and I am there for you.

453
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:55,320
So I highly recommend you get the book.

454
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,320
That's awesome.

455
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,320
Elaine, is there anything?

456
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:05,040
Well, I think we'll both talk at the same time.

457
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:10,240
Well, you know, they could go to Urban Flix to see Cocaine Sisters.

458
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:11,240
I'm in one of the episodes.

459
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:12,240
I play a teacher.

460
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:17,680
They could go to BET Plus for the Rich and the Ruth list.

461
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:23,560
And they could go to Vimeo for Dracula's Bride of Horror.

462
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:33,440
And all the other movies that I've done are somewhere out on the cloud, on somewhere,

463
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:40,880
on some streaming outlet, I'm sure, like Dracula, Dead and Loving It, or Robin Hood, Men in

464
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,040
Tights, or any of those.

465
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:52,440
And if they want to write me, they can write me anywhere, social media or my website.

466
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:58,840
And I look forward to sharing a wonderful life with everybody.

467
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:04,920
And after the read for the new film that I'm going to be doing after that one, I'll let

468
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:05,920
you know about that.

469
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,400
All I know is it's a Christmas movie.

470
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:10,400
And I love Christmas.

471
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,160
I think it's one of the best times of the year.

472
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:19,640
And it brings out the goodness in everyone, I think.

473
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:25,680
Wonderful, Elaine Ballas, thank you so much for taking the time to communicate in order

474
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,000
to today's Best Country Mix.

475
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,200
We appreciate your time.

476
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:36,560
Well we appreciate you and congratulations on your graduation and good luck with everything

477
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:37,560
in the future.

478
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,260
And Mika and I are saying bye.

479
00:41:40,260 --> 00:41:43,720
And she apologizes for being a bad girl today.

480
00:41:43,720 --> 00:41:47,800
Don't you Mika?

481
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,440
By the way, I did forget to mention that Mika, her puppy was joining us.

482
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:57,200
So we are going to get right into some more non-stop music with another one by Justin

483
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:18,720
Turek, the Hammond Brothers and so much more coming your way.

484
00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:34,800
I've been living in a lie With the fair lives been left dead

485
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:44,520
Now my ego has to die My perspective has shifted

486
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:54,680
The secret hides between the lines No more fear in my demise

487
00:42:54,680 --> 00:43:03,680
My body's a temple My mind's a shrine

488
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:14,800
I now see more of the eyes closed eyes All this time I was just blind

489
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:25,320
Yeah you'll have to cut some ties Sacrifices, commitments

490
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:35,640
All that you have crossed tonight But we all could be gifted

491
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:42,280
Just take a look inside Focus on your breath

492
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:50,840
And you will find My body's a temple

493
00:43:50,840 --> 00:44:01,080
My mind's a shrine I now see more behind closed eyes

494
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:06,120
All this time I was just blind

495
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:24,680
The truth is in the lights So the hell with religion

496
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:37,000
Stepped out of darkness into light And it opened my third eye

497
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:46,440
My body's a temple My mind's a shrine

498
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:57,640
I now see more behind closed eyes And the truth is in the lights

499
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:06,520
Take, take your last breath

500
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:13,480
Just take a look inside Focus on your breath

501
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:20,520
And you will find Just take a look inside

502
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:46,920
Focus on your breath And you will find

503
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:55,320
Just take a look inside Focus on your breath

504
00:45:55,320 --> 00:46:05,240
And you will find Just take a look inside

505
00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:20,120
Focus on your breath And you will find

506
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:32,120
Just take a look inside Focus on your breath

507
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:47,480
And you will find Just take a look inside

508
00:46:47,480 --> 00:47:02,840
Just take a look inside Focus on your breath

509
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:18,200
And you will find Just take a look inside

510
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:33,560
Focus on your breath And you will find

511
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:48,920

And you will find Just take a look inside

513
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:19,640

534
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:33,160
Please don't bring me flowers at my grave

535
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:48,520
Don't tell me my doubt proved that I'm brave Remember Columbine in 1999

536
00:53:48,520 --> 00:54:01,960
200 plus school shootings since that day Please don't tell my mom to stop her tears

537
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:14,760
We shot a hole inside her filled with fear We numb out our pain

538
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:25,000
The gunsings are refrained Buried anger morts to shrapnel rain

539
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:39,720
We are your children, daughters and your sons Give us protection, don't shoot us with your guns

540
00:54:39,720 --> 00:54:55,960
Our future is in your guiding hands We want to be here to build a better land

541
00:54:55,960 --> 00:55:10,280
Life on earth is brittering away Action must be taken now today

542
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:25,080
America's become the land where shooting guns Is our trademark as we simply think and pray

543
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:39,560
Many factors brought us to this place Mental health neglected can erase

544
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:52,760
Safety that's free when there's community Social media induced violence is its base

545
00:55:52,760 --> 00:56:07,320
We are your children, daughters and your sons Give us protection, don't shoot us with your guns

546
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:23,160
Our future is in your guiding hands We want to be here to build a better land

547
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:37,240
We need to carve new pathways of respect Divided political rhetoric is a wreck

548
00:56:37,240 --> 00:56:44,680
The list of shootings grows What we reap is what we sow

549
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:51,960
The date is there, please let's use what we know

550
00:56:51,960 --> 00:57:00,360
Please don't leave me flowers at my grave

551
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:09,000
Hear my message, let my life be the one you save
