Transcript
00:00Keep listening to Mix 94.7 as we broadcast from the Live Graystar ATX.com Lounge at ACL Music Fest.
00:08It's Mix 94.7, ACL Fest 2024. We're back here weekend two live at the Live Graystar ATX.com Lounge.
00:15I am Sean Mack. Mr. Teddy Swims in the house.
00:17Hey, dude. Good to see you, bud.
00:18Good to see you, man. Welcome back. You were here, of course, you played Stubbs a few months ago.
00:21It's like earlier this summer?
00:22Yeah, something like that.
00:24Yeah. How is it feeling to be back in the ATX?
00:26Man, it's great, dude. I love it here. I'm just hoping this weekend I get to get some Terry Blacks.
00:32Okay, yeah.
00:33Because I'm going to freak out if I go through Austin yet again and don't get some barbecue.
00:36You know, it's literally right down the street.
00:37I know.
00:38We're on the street.
00:39If I don't get some of that brisket, it's going to be all hell break loose.
00:41Lean or fatty brisket?
00:42All fatty, dude.
00:43All day?
00:44All day, yeah.
00:45Okay, just making sure.
00:46Before we get into the music, let's talk about something very important that's happening in Austin a week from today.
00:53I'm talking Texas-Georgia football.
00:55I know you're like a big UGA guy.
00:57Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:58I'm sorry you're going to have to go through that, man.
01:00Oh, wow. Here we go.
01:01Let's do some analysis.
01:02Let's do like a college game day.
01:04How do you feel it's going to go next Saturday, Georgia coming to Texas for football?
01:07We're going to tear you to shreds is what's going to happen.
01:10I like to think so, but it's hard to say that while I'm sitting in Austin and I've got a bunch of fans here.
01:16You're playing this after I get off, right?
01:18Yeah.
01:19Okay, thank God.
01:20I don't want them to be like, hell with that guy.
01:24It's going to be good.
01:25I mean, it's going to be fun out in Georgia and the SEC, Texas and the SEC now.
01:29This might be like an annual thing, you know?
01:31Dude, I can't wait.
01:32I mean, I'm grateful to – it's going to be a good game to watch, for sure.
01:36Yes, it's going to be good. It's going to be fun.
01:37Try to be careful about what I say when I'm in Texas.
01:39I feel like Noah's very diplomatic.
01:41Great, great, great.
01:42Here we go.
01:43All right, Musically, huge year for you.
01:44Congratulations on everything.
01:46November 8th is a big day.
01:48Do you know what day November 8th is?
01:50What is November 8th?
01:52Grammy nominations night.
01:53Oh, I should probably know that, huh?
01:55You do now?
01:56I do now, yeah.
01:57How are we feeling about this?
01:58I'm saying I want to manifest this with you.
02:00Maybe record of the year, maybe song of the year.
02:02I would be so happy and love.
02:05But I think even when we were just at the VMAs and stuff too,
02:09there's such good new artists, I think, or legacy artists now.
02:12With Benson and Chapel Rowan, Shaboosie, the list goes on and on
02:20with the great new artists that I think are all legacy artists.
02:23This year seems a lot like 2008 to me where we had Drake and Nicki Minaj
02:28and all these amazing new artists coming up.
02:30That was a great year for the U.S.A.
02:31Yeah, it was.
02:32Lil Wayne's Carter III was just taking over the world.
02:34Lady Gaga was blowing up then.
02:36All of it, yeah.
02:37I like to think this is kind of similar with a lot of new artists.
02:40I'm just happy to be a part of that conversation of the new artists coming in.
02:44Of course, I would like to take something home,
02:46but there's no losing in this battle.
02:49So I'm just grateful to be a part of the conversation.
02:52Well, let's hope, let's manifest.
02:53Fingers are crossed because you deserve it.
02:55Amazing song, amazing year.
02:562025 looking good too.
02:58We got a new album on the way.
02:59Yeah, dude, January.
03:00Talk about the new album.
03:01I think January 24th is coming out.
03:03It's a whole lot more of a healed situation than just the album
03:07of just constant turmoil and heartbreak.
03:09So there's a lot more love.
03:11And I've got somebody in my life that I've really loved.
03:15So there's a little bit more happiness in it and healing and stuff like that.
03:19I want to give you this opportunity to brag on your girl a little bit
03:21in case you don't know.
03:22Teddy has an amazing girlfriend who's also a singer.
03:25Talk about her.
03:26She's on tour with us right now too, opening up the shows.
03:28And that's been really cool.
03:30I was really hoping it would go good because this could be a beautiful life together.
03:33And if it was just absolutely awful, then that would have sucked.
03:36But it's going really good.
03:38She's great.
03:39She's still on the bunch right now, taking her time to get ready like women do.
03:44Okay, yeah.
03:45So she's not here right this second.
03:47Probably going to be another hour and a half before she gets out.
03:49Yeah, it happens.
03:50It happens.
03:51I don't want to stereotype.
03:52That's why they look so good.
03:53I tell her good things take time, baby.
03:55Yeah, good things take time.
03:57Do you remember your first date?
03:59Yeah.
04:00So when we first met, I was playing the day before Thanksgiving in Atlanta
04:06back home and just asked her to come and shot by shot.
04:10And so we've kind of been rocking since then.
04:13I mean, we were talking for a while.
04:15But I think we – I don't know.
04:18I can't remember the day that we actually – I think it just kind of happened
04:21that we were just always together every day all of a sudden.
04:23But, yeah, here we are.
04:25Excellent.
04:26I'm going to cut all this and I'm going to save it for you
04:28so next time you guys get in a fight you can be like,
04:30look at all the things I said.
04:32That's very kind of you.
04:33I'm looking out for you, brother.
04:34Finally, before I let you get out of here, new single, Bad Dreams.
04:37Talk about the origins of this song and where it came from.
04:40So we were at a camp again in Palm Springs,
04:43and I've been going through nightmares for a long time in my life.
04:47Sometimes I'll wake up every 30 minutes and shoot out of my sleep.
04:50Again, just to talk about her, it's been a good partner for me that is like –
04:54she's so healing and always will hug me and hold me and tell me it's just a dream.
05:00But also has done some holistic things.
05:02She's always like, here, take some holy basil or some magnesium,
05:05or this will calm your mind.
05:07She's always just giving me supplements and moisturizing my face
05:09and just being awesome.
05:12It sounds like a keeper, Teddy.
05:13That's all I'm going to say.
05:14Do not mess this up.
05:15Do not mess this one up.
05:16It's helped me a lot.
05:17Excellent.
05:18So good to see you, man.
05:19We appreciate you being here, taking the stage here shortly,
05:22and despite rooting for UGA next week versus Texas,
05:26we're going to let that one go.
05:28We'll see you again soon back in Austin, man.
05:30Can't wait, buddy.
05:31Thank you, Teddy Swibbs.
05:32It's Sean Mack, Mix 94.7.
