You're listening to the 6 Figure Home Studio Podcast, the number one resource for running a profitable home recording studio.

Brian Hood (0:19)

Welcome back to another episode of the 6 Figure Home Studio Podcast. I am your host, Brian Hood, and I'm here with my bald, beautiful, purple-shirted co-host, Christopher J. Graham. Chris, hi there, my friend.

Christopher J. Graham (0:31)

I am great, especially because you're not dead. Oh my gosh.

Brian Hood (0:36)

Yeah. Okay. So if you're wondering what I'm talking about, as of a week from today, this episode comes out. We're recording this on the day this happened.

I woke up to a flood of texts and Facebook messages and Instagram messages, and thank you for anyone who emailed me or anything, asking if I was still alive, including my mom. My mom was like texting me freaking out if I was still alive, because at like 2 a.m. or something, or 4 a.m. something really, really early in the morning, tornado came down straight through downtown Nashville. And anyone who knows where I live, I live straight downtown Nashville.

So fortunately, it did not hit our building, but unfortunately, it hit some of my friends, which I have friends over here right now actually working. Their apartment got hit, their windows got blown out, half the building was taken out. Fortunately, their unit wasn't taken out. By now, it's like old news, because it's a week old, but as of right now, the death count's over 20

Christopher J. Graham (1:30)

What?

Brian Hood (1:31)

So many iconic buildings in Nashville are destroyed, like music venues and the whole Five Points area in Nashville, some of our favorite restaurants. One of the places that Meg and I dated at a lot, went to brunch at a lot when we were dating earlier in our relationship. So it's really sad, man. Another thing, one of our favorite burger joints, Jack Brown's, completely leveled, and it actually shares a lot next to Brandon, my old roommate.

Christopher J. Graham (1:55)

I think you took me there.

Brian Hood (1:56)

Yeah, I think I did.

Christopher J. Graham (1:57)

Yeah, the first time we hung out, we went there.

Brian Hood (1:59)

Yep, yep. And so my old roommate has a lot in Germantown where the tornado literally passed over his lot.

And if he would have built his house on that lot that he was planning, he had a home plan to build on it years ago. If he would have built it, it would be gone right now. So fortunately, those plans are delayed. Man, it's crazy here right now, because this is again, the same day that all this has happened.

And I'm still getting messages and emails flooding in about this stuff. My dad literally just texted me right this second as well with a text saying, he's glad I'm okay and stuff. So all that to say, man, I'm glad.

Christopher J. Graham (2:28)

I'm going to say something.

I'm tempted to make a dad joke right now. I'm going to abstain. It would not be appropriate.

Brian Hood (2:34)

Thank you. I appreciate.

Christopher J. Graham (2:36)

Yeah, I woke up and I rolled over and was just sort of hanging out. And I started reading through the news. And like the third story was Nashville. I didn't believe it at first. I was like, what? No way.

And then I was like, Brian, Brian texted you and all our brosemite, brosemite homeboys.

Brian Hood (2:53)

All the guys that we went in my bachelor party, we went to.

Christopher J. Graham (2:56)

Yeah, they're all in Nashville.

Brian Hood (2:57)

Which was over a year ago now, because yesterday was my one year anniversary with my wife.

And also my first day of jury duty of my life, which was a fun day to share, which I can't talk about, obviously. That's all I'm going to say about that.

Christopher J. Graham (3:09)

It'd be funny if you made up fake things that were happening at jury duty, just for content on our podcast.

Brian Hood (3:15)

Yeah, crazy day, man.

Christopher J. Graham (3:16)

Well, I'm glad you're okay, man.

Brian Hood (3:18)

Thank you.

Christopher J. Graham (3:18)

Gave me a little scare when I woke up this morning. And, yeesh.

Brian Hood (3:22)

Yeah, so I don't know what we do from here.

So many buildings are leveled. So we've got a long recovery process to go through in Nashville. I don't know, again, what all is happening out there right this second. But my wife walked down, and she said it's like an apocalypse outside. It's like people just kind of like wandering around, no one talking, like super quiet, power lines down everywhere, just like debris in the streets, all the streets are closed in East Nashville, like in the Five Points area.
