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 --> 00:14:12,000
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
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:34,400
That was the Michael Bate band.

72
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,560
Beautiful day right here on the Kating Orders for today's Best Country Mix.

73
00:14:37,560 --> 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 --> 00:14:48,480
a back road, and Dave Nudo with Lonesome right here on the Kating Orders show.

75
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,080
Today's Best Country Mix.

76
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,320
And right now we are going to do an interview with Justin Turk and Elaine Ballas.

77
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,320
So stay tuned.

78
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,440
Hello and welcome to the Kating Orders show today's Best Country Mix.

79
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,920
Joining me right here today is Justin Turk.

80
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,720
Justin, how are you?

81
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,640
I'm great.

82
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,120
So let's get started here.

83
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,040
Why don't we get to know you a little bit and how you got started in doing music?

84
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:20,400
Yeah, well, I got started doing music at a young age.

85
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:26,440
I was about, I think, 12 years old when I first started playing the guitar.

86
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:32,520
And I wrote and recorded my first song at the age of 14.

87
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:38,720
I was singing as young as I can remember, which is kind of where my love for music started

88
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,280
because I just love to sing.

89
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,680
And yeah, it's where I am today.

90
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:53,800
I'm 33 years old now, so I've been doing it for quite some time.

91
00:15:53,800 --> 00:16:00,880
What is it about music that you absolutely enjoy about it, Justin?

92
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:08,800
I think the aspect of music I enjoy the most would be the writing aspect.

93
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:18,360
I just have a very creative personality, creative mind, and it's a good way for me to express

94
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,200
that.

95
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

96
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:36,800
way that not a lot of those things can.

97
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

98
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,360
time to write about?

99
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,360
About me?

100
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,640
Oh man, I don't know.

101
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:53,760
I'm sure I have a lot of good reasons for things that someone could write a song about.

102
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,960
That's a hard question.

103
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:04,240
I don't know, I think it would be cool to hear someone write a song about me though.

104
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,240
Anyone out there?

105
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:13,640
Yeah, I mean it definitely would be interesting for sure.

106
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:20,040
Justin kind of walked me through a day to day of Justin Turk.

107
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,800
So my day to day.

108
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:30,160
Since I'm not just a musician, I work a full time job, help fund the music because it's

109
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,160
not cheap.

110
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:37,120
Kind of being an independent artist and funding these types of things on your own, it does

111
00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:38,120
cost money.

112
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

113
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

114
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,640
sites.

115
00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:03,280
I go out to the job site and do the morning muster with the guys, get everyone ready,

116
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,280
orient people who need to be oriented, initiate permits, stuff like that.

117
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:19,120
So my spare time I'm writing music, recording music.

118
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

119
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:28,920
writing, singing, performing, what would you tell them?

120
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,160
I mean just do what works best for you.

121
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,520
I mean there's so many different avenues you can go down, whether you want to be a recording

122
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:43,320
artist or just behind the scenes or ghostwriter, just write lyrics.

123
00:18:43,320 --> 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

124
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,760
put some roadblocks on their path to success.

125
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:09,920
But yeah, getting into music as a recording artist I would say record the best quality

126
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,920
music and the best songs.

127
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,360
Don't record things because you wrote them.

128
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:19,200
Don't waste money on cheap recordings.

129
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,000
Spend top dollar on the best song that you have.

130
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,280
One song is all you need.

131
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,320
Top dollar, best song you have.

132
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,600
And then promote the hell out of it with the rest of your funds.

133
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,800
Get your name out there.

134
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

135
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,080
they can and then they're broke and then they don't have money for promotion and they can't

136
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:49,280
get themselves to the masses.

137
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:55,920
Exactly it's one of those things where not only budgeting correctly but promotion is

138
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,720
important whether you self promote or not.

139
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,400
A lot of artists do that nowadays.

140
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,200
They do self promote.

141
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:11,680
The important part about self promotion is how you're doing it.

142
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:20,520
A lot of artists do small cheap little Spotify playlist promotions and YouTube play with

143
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,000
promotions or whatever, anything like that.

144
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,800
They'll get a nice little spike in streams but it's not really doing them anything in

145
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:29,800
the long run.

146
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:40,160
What I recommend is invest in a well renowned PR company, Public Relations, that's really

147
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,080
going to get your stuff out to the right people.

148
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,080
That could be expensive.

149
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:51,480
That could be anywhere from $1000 to $3000 a month.

150
00:20:51,480 --> 00:21:00,280
They recommend at least six months of promotion or three, three at least.

151
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,480
Justin do you have any upcoming singles or projects you want to tell us a little bit

152
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,480
about?

153
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:11,920
Yeah, so I just released a single about three weeks ago, four weeks ago.

154
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,080
It's called Truth and Lies.

155
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:19,280
It's a new Hard Rock track that I just came out with and I'm also going to be releasing

156
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:25,040
the new track at the end of this month, another Hard Rock track that's more so alternative

157
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:30,200
metal and that'll be May 26th.

158
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,480
That's when that's going to release.

159
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:40,320
It'll be available on all the streaming social media platforms anywhere you can find it.

160
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:46,040
It'll be there.

161
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,600
Where can people find more about you?

162
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,000
Where can they find you?

163
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:57,440
The best place to find the information about me would be my website which would be justinturk.com.

164
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,000
What do you like doing outside of music?

165
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,640
Do you have any hobbies, interests, anything like that?

166
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:11,360
I like spending time with my family, wife and my kids.

167
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:16,240
Music's really my thing.

168
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:25,280
I like being out in nature, doing outdoor activities, stuff like that.

169
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,

170
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,560
my fans or anyone out there, what would you tell them?

171
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:44,040
One message, just to follow your dreams and don't give up.

172
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:54,120
Do what you got to do and just remember that we create our own realities.

173
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:56,160
I definitely agree with that.

174
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,600
That is definitely important.

175
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,000
Yeah, stay humble.

176
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,040
The best we can do is stay humble.

177
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,040
Absolutely.

178
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,880
Justin, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention here

179
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,040
on the show today?

180
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,040
Yeah.

181
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,880
Let's see.

182
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:23,000
How about a shout out to my new sponsor, Mitra 9.

183
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:32,280
Mitra 9 Brands, they're a pretty awesome botanical beverage company, non-alcoholic.

184
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

185
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,280
and helping with stress and anxiety.

186
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,120
They're great.

187
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:48,240
They taste great.

188
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:53,560
The Kratom drinks are pretty much vegan.

189
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:59,480
They are vegan and no sugars.

190
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,880
They're a little carbonated but they're not bad for you.

191
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,880
They taste great.

192
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:04,880
I love them.

193
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:05,880
Highly recommend it.

194
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:13,400
If you're interested, you can use my discount code, TURKMUSIC, all caps and you'll get 20%

That's wonderful.

197
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,720
Everyone, check that out.

198
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:22,720
Please do.

199
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,040
I will do the same thing.

200
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,800
And Justin Turk, thank you so much for taking the time to come on The K-Dig Ordin Show,

201
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,080
today's best country mix.

202
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,080
Thank you for having me.

203
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,800
Hello and welcome to The K-Dig Ordin Show, today's best country mix.

204
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,960
Joining me back here on the show is Elaine Ballas.

205
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,320
Elaine, how are you?

206
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:46,280
I am doing great but there we are.

207
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,240
And here is Mika.

208
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,080
She's all ready.

209
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

210
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:56,360
look great.

211
00:24:56,360 --> 00:24:57,360
Oh, that's wonderful.

212
00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:00,920
I'm glad that she's squeaky clean for the interview.

213
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,400
She is squeaky clean.

214
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:11,080
And before we get started, we want to say congratulations on your upcoming graduation

215
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

216
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,360
still in high school.

217
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:23,680
Not all but some of your college classes in while still in high school.

218
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,800
So go Kaden Gordon.

219
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,400
Oh, thank you, Elaine.

220
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,480
I appreciate that.

221
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:30,480
Congratulations there.

222
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,480
I appreciate it.

223
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:37,200
Well, I think it's great that you're working so hard and you've accomplished so much at

224
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,320
such a young age.

225
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,320
That's great.

226
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,320
So Elaine, why don't you...

227
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,360
We support you 100%.

228
00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:46,320
Oh, that's great.

229
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,680
Oh, I appreciate that.

230
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:55,800
Well, I have some new and exciting news to share with you and your viewers.

231
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:56,800
Go ahead, tell us.

232
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:04,120
So I am going to tell you, I'm going to be doing a movie next month.

233
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:11,080
It got pushed back this month, but it's next month and it's called A Wonderful Life.

234
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:16,120
And it's just, I'm not going to give the whole thing away and we haven't filmed it yet, so

235
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:21,160
I can't tell you any secrets about the movie, but I'll come back after we filmed it and

236
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,240
tell you all about it.

237
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

238
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,440
to be in it as well.

239
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:40,640
And it's just going to be a very, very lovely, romantic kind of comedy, although the director's

240
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,280
wears, it's a drama with humor.

241
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:50,080
But I've been really excited about it because I wanted to work with this director for eight

242
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,180
years now.

243
00:26:51,180 --> 00:26:59,600
He did another movie called, well, he actually did two movies that I just loved, but Best

244
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,000
Day Ever was where I met him and it won all kinds of awards.

245
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,540
And I said, I have to work with you.

246
00:27:06,540 --> 00:27:08,020
So he said, okay.

247
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

248
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,100
kept changing it, didn't like the way it came out.

249
00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:18,800
So he scrapped it and wrote a new movie.

250
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:24,600
And here we are eight years later, ready to do the movie.

251
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,400
And he is such a good director.

252
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:34,200
He's really, I think, one of the last of the great romantic comedies in that it could,

253
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,440
it's for anybody.

254
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:41,600
It could be two men, two women, a woman and her dog.

255
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,400
It could be man and woman.

256
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:53,440
It could be anything, but it's basically about relationships and it's just, I love it.

257
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

258
00:28:00,780 --> 00:28:02,660
to get out for Christmas.

259
00:28:02,660 --> 00:28:08,040
So maybe I will be your Christmas special.

260
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,040
You never know.

261
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,140
I might end up in your stocking, your Christmas stocking.

262
00:28:13,140 --> 00:28:18,200
So you'll hear it first, but that script I haven't received yet.

263
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:23,240
And they're going to do a very cold table read this week.

264
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,840
So I'll know more about it.

265
00:28:24,840 --> 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

266
00:28:30,020 --> 00:28:31,740
movie.

267
00:28:31,740 --> 00:28:38,320
And then I did a show last year called Cocaine Sisters.

268
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,040
And it's, it's a very interesting show.

269
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,840
I didn't work with the sisters.

270
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

271
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,440
dropping off cocaine and they get involved in the whole drug scene.

272
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,240
And that is currently on Urban Flix.

273
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:07,200
So if you want to check it out, check it out on Urban Flix and The Rich and the Ruthless,

274
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:12,840
which I did for four seasons is still on BET Plus playing.

275
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,160
So you can binge watch that.

276
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:23,920
And also you can watch on Vimeo, Dracula's Bride of Horror.

277
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,520
So there's lots to see that I have out there.

278
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:33,920
And of course my book, How to Write a Book Campy Lane style.

279
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,520
I only have a few left before we go into the next copy.

280
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:45,200
So if you want the original copy, go to my website, ElaineValace.com and you can purchase

281
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,200
one of the, I think four remaining books.

282
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.

283
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,940
So it's, the price is all inclusive.

284
00:29:59,940 --> 00:30:03,100
If they're out of the continental US, I'm not sure what the postage is.

285
00:30:03,100 --> 00:30:05,520
So you would be charged for both.

286
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:11,760
I have been doing, will be doing and am doing, but the most exciting thing is I'm on your

287
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:12,760
show.

288
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:13,760
Yes, absolutely.

289
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,600
We are so happy to have you here.

290
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:25,440
So Elaine, if someone was to write a movie about you, what do you think that they would

291
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,720
write about?

292
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,520
Oh my goodness.

293
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,880
You know, I think the thing, it's really funny because I've been running into more people

294
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:47,000
lately who also ice skated and I think perseverance, tenacity, dedication and passion.

295
00:30:47,000 --> 00:31:00,440
I think they would write about those and they would, oh no, Mika just ate my pen and Mika

296
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,720
oh no, wait a second.

297
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,000
Hold on.

298
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,040
She ate the plastic part.

299
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,480
She ate the plastic part.

300
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,320
I can't believe you did that.

301
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,320
This just ends.

302
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,720
She ate the plastic part, everybody.

303
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,520
She ate the plastic part.

304
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,280
Well, actually I retrieved it.

305
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,280
Sorry about that.

306
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,280
No, you're good.

307
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:27,280
Otherwise we would have been saying, well, we'll be back shortly because I would have

308
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,800
had to take her to the doctor to get it out.

309
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:39,640
She, you know, she has all this great food, steak, chicken, salmon, and then she eats

310
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,480
anything she can.

311
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:52,760
I don't get it, Mika, but she always choose the last, the bottom part or choose my pens.

312
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,000
So I have to steal other pens, I guess.

313
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,480
And you know what?

314
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,400
She used to love these bones.

315
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:06,720
She used to have these great bones and what she would do is she would eat them and that

316
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,440
was fine.

317
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,960
Now she decides that she no longer wants to eat the bones.

318
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:18,440
She'd rather eat my pens and she hides her bones.

319
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:19,880
So I don't know.

320
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,900
Mika's just being mischievous.

321
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:26,960
She washed her hair and she can't do a thing with it.

322
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:37,160
Mika, are you going to tell everybody what you're doing and what you're eating?

323
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,160
She left.

324
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,160
Mika.

325
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,960
Oh, Mika.

326
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:44,960
She knows.

327
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:45,960
She knows.

328
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,920
Here she comes.

329
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,400
She knows.

330
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,080
She just has to be the star.

331
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:57,400
So anyway, if they were to write a book about my life, I think the thing that they would

332
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:06,080
find is the passion I have for acting or doing whatever it is I choose to do at the time,

333
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:13,640
the dedication I give to it, the perseverance for never giving up, and the tenacity of just

334
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,240
staying with it.

335
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,840
So I think it would be that kind of a story.

336
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:21,840
Never give up.

337
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

338
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:33,800
lane style, sometimes people just need to get started and they need support and think

339
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,240
that they can't do it or their life isn't interesting.

340
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:44,280
But anything anyone does, I think is very interesting because that way people get to

341
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

342
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:56,920
who are older and they say, you know, my life wasn't very exciting.

343
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,560
And then they start writing and they see what their life really was.

344
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:07,600
And they have a legacy to leave for their friends, their family, a stranger who might

345
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,120
find their book.

346
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,

347
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

348
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,120
we should know.

349
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:30,680
And I think the best thing is your truth.

350
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,960
And that's what you have to do.

351
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

352
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,280
is being mischievous.

353
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,160
Do you want to come up here and say hi to everybody, Mika?

354
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,640
You're being exceedingly mischievous today.

355
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:47,640
Exceedingly.

356
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:55,440
Oh, she's I don't know what she is doing, but she is just being mischievous.

357
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:56,440
Come on.

358
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:57,800
Say hello to everybody.

359
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,480
They're waiting for you.

360
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:00,480
Your fans are waiting.

361
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:08,920
If they were to write a book about you, what would you say?

362
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,360
If they were to write a book about me, that's a good question.

363
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,560
That's actually I asked about a movie, but book works too.

364
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,000
Or a fight or a movie.

365
00:35:18,000 --> 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

366
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,800
get more money.

367
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:23,800
There you go.

368
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:24,800
That works.

369
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:25,800
That works.

370
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,940
That's a good question.

371
00:35:27,940 --> 00:35:33,040
I think that they would write about my generosity and my professionalism.

372
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:37,480
I think that's what they would write about for both.

373
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:42,640
You are exceedingly generous and you are exceedingly professional.

374
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,000
So I think it's good.

375
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:50,920
And at such a young age, because a lot of people don't understand or realize and other

376
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:59,040
people are counting on you and relying on you and it takes a lot.

377
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:07,360
It takes good character to be as generous and as kind and professional as you are.

378
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,280
And we're going to work on that with Mika.

379
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,280
Hi Mika.

380
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:15,360
Instead of getting into trouble, you're going to be professional when the camera's on.

381
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:16,360
Aren't you?

382
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,360
Aren't you?

383
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,440
I'm afraid to let her down.

384
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,680
She is finding all kinds of things on the floor.

385
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,680
Aren't you Mika?

386
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,240
I don't know.

387
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:29,480
She never is like this.

388
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:34,800
But today I guess she decided she washed her hair and she couldn't do a thing with it.

389
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:39,720
So she's going to clean the house.

390
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:43,000
She's going to clean the house.

391
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,480
So when do you, when you graduate, then when do you start school?

392
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,400
What are your summer plans?

393
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,400
My summer plans.

394
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,400
Ooh.

395
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,640
July, I'm going to be going to Nashville.

396
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,480
So that's going to be exciting.

397
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

398
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:05,160
for free.

399
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,400
So there's a lot going on in the next couple of few months.

400
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,720
Are you going to be able to do your show?

401
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:12,760
Are you going to do your show in Nashville?

402
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,320
Yeah, I'll still do my show.

403
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,320
And that's a possibility.

404
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,320
Yeah, I might.

405
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:24,720
Oh, just think of all the artists you'll have in Nashville.

406
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:25,720
You are right.

407
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:27,840
You are definitely right there.

408
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,440
Have you ever been to Nashville?

409
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,440
I've never been.

410
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:31,440
I've never been.

411
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:32,440
This is my first time.

412
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:33,440
Oh, good.

413
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

414
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,240
we can all learn and share in your experience.

415
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:46,020
Absolutely.

416
00:37:46,020 --> 00:37:53,000
So Elaine, if people want to learn more about you, where can they find you?

417
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,640
I am all over the internet.

418
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:06,360
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,

419
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:07,420
dot com.

420
00:38:07,420 --> 00:38:12,640
They can start there and it has all kinds of information.

421
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:18,960
They can see my videos from Camp Elaine, the old ones from Camp Elaine.

422
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:23,880
They can go to IMDB Elaine Ballas.

423
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:28,760
And there are other videos there from different work that I've done.

424
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.

425
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

426
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,680
the movie at the White House.

427
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,520
Wouldn't that have been fun?

428
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,160
It was so close, yet so far.

429
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:56,120
And then they could find me anywhere on social media, on Instagram, at Elaine Ballas, at

430
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:02,720
Facebook, at Elaine Ballas, at Twitter, at Elaine Ballas.

431
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:06,200
So there's no excuse for them not to contact me.

432
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

433
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:19,200
four left that are the original print.

434
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

435
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:29,800
it.

436
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:30,800
You will love it.

437
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:31,800
I promise you.

438
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

439
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

440
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:45,840
writing.

441
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,560
So I am your guide, your cheerleader, and I am there for you.

442
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:55,320
So I highly recommend you get the book.

443
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,320
That's awesome.

444
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,320
Elaine, is there anything?

445
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:05,040
Well, I think we'll both talk at the same time.

446
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:10,240
Well, you know, they could go to Urban Flix to see Cocaine Sisters.

447
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:11,240
I'm in one of the episodes.

448
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:12,240
I play a teacher.

449
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:17,680
They could go to BET Plus for the Rich and the Ruth list.

450
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:23,560
And they could go to Vimeo for Dracula's Bride of Horror.

451
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,

452
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

453
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,040
Tights, or any of those.

454
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.

455
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:58,840
And I look forward to sharing a wonderful life with everybody.

456
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

457
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:05,920
you know about that.

458
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,400
All I know is it's a Christmas movie.

459
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:10,400
And I love Christmas.

460
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,160
I think it's one of the best times of the year.

461
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:19,640
And it brings out the goodness in everyone, I think.

462
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:25,680
Wonderful, Elaine Ballas, thank you so much for taking the time to communicate in order

463
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,000
to today's Best Country Mix.

464
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,200
We appreciate your time.

465
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:36,560
Well we appreciate you and congratulations on your graduation and good luck with everything

466
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:37,560
in the future.

467
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,260
And Mika and I are saying bye.

468
00:41:40,260 --> 00:41:43,720
And she apologizes for being a bad girl today.

469
00:41:43,720 --> 00:41:47,800
Don't you Mika?

470
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,440
By the way, I did forget to mention that Mika, her puppy was joining us.

471
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

472
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:18,720
Turek, the Hammond Brothers and so much more coming your way.

473
00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:34,800
I've been living in a lie With the fair lives been left dead

474
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:44,520
Now my ego has to die My perspective has shifted

475
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:54,680
The secret hides between the lines No more fear in my demise

476
00:42:54,680 --> 00:43:03,680
My body's a temple My mind's a shrine

477
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:14,800
I now see more of the eyes closed eyes All this time I was just blind

478
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:25,320
Yeah you'll have to cut some ties Sacrifices, commitments

479
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:35,640
All that you have crossed tonight But we all could be gifted

480
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:42,280
Just take a look inside Focus on your breath

481
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:50,840
And you will find My body's a temple

482
00:43:50,840 --> 00:44:01,080
My mind's a shrine I now see more behind closed eyes

483
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:06,120
All this time I was just blind

484
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:24,680
The truth is in the lights So the hell with religion

485
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:37,000
Stepped out of darkness into light And it opened my third eye

486
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:46,440
My body's a temple My mind's a shrine

487
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:57,640
I now see more behind closed eyes And the truth is in the lights

488
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:06,520
Take, take your last breath

489
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:13,480
Just take a look inside Focus on your breath

490
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:20,520
And you will find Just take a look inside

491
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:46,920
Focus on your breath And you will find

Don't tell me my doubt proved that I'm brave Remember Columbine in 1999

525
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

526
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:14,760
We shot a hole inside her filled with fear We numb out our pain

527
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:25,000
The gunsings are refrained Buried anger morts to shrapnel rain

America's become the land where shooting guns Is our trademark as we simply think and pray

536
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:37,240
We need to carve new pathways of respect Divided political rhetoric is a wreck

537
00:56:37,240 --> 00:56:44,680
The list of shootings grows What we reap is what we sow

538
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:51,960
The date is there, please let's use what we know

539
00:56:51,960 --> 00:57:00,360
Please don't leave me flowers at my grave

540
