[0:00] Robert Bannon: Is Bringing the Thunder!. Broadway Podcast Network.

[0:30] Robert Bannon: She has brought her life and her experience to stages, to writing, to singing, to all of the things. And she's here and she's going to share it. She's got a new single out. She's got a music video on the horizon. She's been out here singing with everybody and anybody. She is a country star, star, star. And you need to be ready and set and listen to everything she's ever done. Laura, welcome to the Roundtable.

[0:54] Laura Bryna: Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here. I said to you when you came on, you're so beautiful. Your hair is beautiful. I know this is very, I'm a gay man, so I'm not objectifying you, I swear. You are so...

[1:04] Laura Bryna: No, I love you. You're my people. I love you. You understand big hair, glitter, and fun clothes and all of the above. That's what we all...

[1:14] Robert Bannon: Oh, it's fun to be a... The world needs more big hair, glitter, and fun clothes. Right? I mean, to me, the whole world's covered in pink and glitter, but whatever. That's what I see when I walk out.

[1:26] Robert Bannon: Thank you, Laura. Laura, you grew up on the East Coast. Are you from Maryland?

[1:32] Laura Bryna: I am. I'm a crabber. I'm definitely a crab girl. We're definitely crabby. We love our old bay on everything we can put it on.

[1:37] Robert Bannon: I'm a Jersey boy, so we're East Coast. We have our own little crabs. They're not like Maryland, Baltimore, Phillips crab cake crabs, but I could crab us a little something something with you, Laura.

[1:52] Laura Bryna: Oh, honey, we love to share our crabs.

[1:58] Robert Bannon: You're my kind of people. So tell me, was your house like a zoo? Is this a real thing?

[2:05] Laura Bryna: Yeah, we really had a zoo. I mean, we had two donkeys, Christmas and New Year. We had 30 ducks, and they multiplied. It went from six to 30. Then we had six goats, which they also multiplied. I mean, everybody was kind of doing it in our house, I guess, if you want to say. But anyway, so then we had ducks, and sheep. We had turkeys, which my dad always said, God, they were so stupid. They'd stand out in the rain, and they would try to drown themselves. Anyway, but yeah, we had a bunch of everything. Then we had rabbits. They were actually having a shindig, too. They also multiplied. I've always been a bird person. We grew up with little cockatiels, and lovebirds, and things like that. Then my parents took us to Hawaii, and there was this guy walking on the beach. He had these big macaws, and you could get your picture taken with them, and hold them, and all that. I just thought that was so great. So then I got into birds.

[3:11] Laura Bryna: What in the magic David Copperfield trick was that? This is little one. She's cute. Hi, little one. She is beautiful.

[3:16] Robert Bannon: Thank you. So are you in Nashville right now with her?

[3:20] Laura Bryna: Actually, right now I'm in Los Angeles.

[3:24] Robert Bannon: Okay.

[3:30] Laura Bryna: But we get around. We give new meaning to fly the friendly skies. As my parents like to say, I'm kind of an airport hooker. I'm all around different airports all over the place. They're like, oh, hi, Laura. How are the birds? I need to share some of your airline miles.

[3:42] Laura Bryna: You want to send me some miles? I got some miles, yes. We'll go on a trip.

[3:47] Robert Bannon: Let's go to Paris. Let's go. You grew up with the animals. You have birds with you right now, and you have your emotional support parrot.

[3:56] Laura Bryna: Exactly.

[4:00] Robert Bannon: Did you discover in your fun, eccentric, it sounds, exciting childhood, was music always a piece of that puzzle for you?

[4:05] Laura Bryna: Yeah, music has always been in our life. We're a bunch of mixed marriages, death, divorces, and that kind of a thing. So we got a bunch of kids from all over the place. But we're one big happy family. My sisters and I, we would go downstairs. My parents have this jukebox. We thought we were really great, like really great. We would charge our parents 25 cents a ticket. Of course, they saw this show like three times a day. I was the lead singer of the band, and they were my backup dancers and singers. We would get out our metal spoons, and we just thought we were amazing. That's kind of where it went and what we did. We loved it. Being together, and music is healing. It brings people together.

It makes you smile. It makes you feel something, which is what country music is all about. It's life experiences. It's great lyrics. It's great melodies. How I really got into country music was when my brother suffered a brain aneurysm when he was little, and being from the middle of nowhere in Maryland to turn left at the Calvary at the church and keep on going directions and that kind of a thing. As you know, being from Jersey, 95 can mean go 95, or it means you're going to sit 95 minutes. In Maryland, coming from the middle of nowhere, we were going to sit for 95 minutes. My mom and I, we would drive to Washington, D.C., the children's hospital there where my brother was. It was country music that we were listening to.

It was songs about real life things. There were songs that made us laugh. There were songs that we could relate to because of what we were going through. It was a difficult time. So that's really kind of how I fell in love with it. It's also how I learned to give back, too, because my brother and the doctors would tell my mom, Shelly, he's not going to wake up. You need to let this go and that kind of thing. My mom was like, I can't do that. I can't let him go. One day he woke up. Miracles and things like that do happen. And one of the wish graders came in and said, you know, we'd like to grant you a wish. And he woke up and he was learning how to walk and talk again. And he said, you know what?

I don't need a wish. He's like, give it to somebody else who really needs it because I'm getting better. And that's how I learned really to volunteer and to give back. And that's something that's always been so important to my parents, to us kids, to always give back in any way that you can, whether it's, you know, volunteering or maybe it's sharing a song or a story or monetarily, whatever it may be. And so I've been very fortunate. I've got to sit on the board of Make-A-Wish, the Mid-Atlantic chapter, and I've granted wishes. I've gone out and met with families and granted wishes. And actually, we wrote a song about it called Make-A-Wish, which a lot of the kids in the video are actual Make-A-Wish recipients.

And what's great about Make-A-Wish is, yes, it gives that child that dream, that love, that hope. And I think Whitney Houston said it best. I mean, you know, teach them well, let them lead the way. Children are our future, that kind of thing. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. So I, it's such a wonderful organization. And yet, you know, when you see these kids smile and, you know, I want to go to Disney World or all this, it's like the most amazing thing that you can make a child smile, you know, and make them know that they can, that this dream is coming true. And what's great about Make-A-Wish too is that, I mean, hopefully one day we won't need it, but we had to change the mission statement because it used to be for terminally ill children. And now it's for light threatening because children are living through these horrible diseases. So it's really a great thing. And I'm hoping one day we won't need that. So that was a long answer.

[8:40] Robert Bannon: No, that was beautiful. You answered some of my thoughts and questions because your work is so incredible. You should, you should listen to the song Make-A-Wish and you could see the video for Make-A-Wish as well. And I have a student, I'm a teacher in real life. And one of my students-

[8:55] Laura Bryna: You all are heroes.

[8:56] Robert Bannon: No, you are a hero. You touch many, many lives. And one of him, he had a Make-A-Wish, well, as he battled cancer, it changed his life and his family. And what you've done and to support that is God's work, truly. Speaking of God's work, truly, and we're filming this, everybody, on 9-11 and you're sitting next to an American flag. And I know we're going to see this later in the month, but you have done a lot of work for the military here. And we're in a very divisive time and people are sometimes angry and we all argue and yell at each other and fight with one another. But at the end of the day, we all share this country that has given us so much. So tell us about your experience and why working with the military on this very solemn day where we remember everybody. But we're all proud to be here in this country, I think.

[9:42] Laura Bryna: Yeah. These brave men and women allow us to sit here and chat together. And they've given their lives, their time, their energy, 365 days a year, 24-7. You know, I'm living my dream because of them. And I've worked with a lot of wonderful organizations from Wounded Warrior Project to Homes for Our Troops, Folds of Honor, the National Guard Youth Foundation. And this is a flag that actually flew with me. I've done a lot with the Air National Guard and they actually asked me to, well, we wrote a song, me and a couple of friends, Terry Vonderheide and Jeff Batson, and it's called Hometown Heroes, which debuted on Monday Night Football, which was really, really neat. But it was to celebrate these amazing heroes.

And with the Air National Guard, it was a campaign that they were doing to kind of let everybody know what these brave men and women do every day. It's kind of like their coming out party. And because when you see these men and women, you know, they don't need thank yous. They love their country. They love the people that they protect. You know, I've been so fortunate I got to go on a USO tour overseas. And I was the one that got to sing the national anthem every night. And, you know, to sit there, and it's always an honor to sing the national anthem. I love doing that, whether it's at military events, sporting events, whatever it may be, it's always an honor to sing that song. But when you go overseas, and you see these men and women who probably have been away from home for nine months, and I got to go during the 4th of July week, and you look out into the audience, and I remember being in tears.

[11:34] Laura Bryna: And it was definitely a pinch-you moment, and I felt it probably felt like eternity, like I was standing there for 10 minutes just not saying anything. I looked at everybody in the face and I was like, "What if I never get back here?" This is one of those amazing moments of my life where it means something, and the rocket's regular, all that means something. It was just so special to be there in that moment. I loved it. I can't wait to go back. I love bringing a little piece of home to these men and women. This flag actually flew with me when I was with the Air National Guard. I did an F-16 ride because I said, "You know what? If I'm going to represent you all in this advertising campaign, I want to know everything y'all do."

I've refueled F-16s in the air. I've gone on just all different kinds of things and visited all different airlift wings, refueling wings all over the country. This flag flew with me when I did my F-16 ride. I do have a call sign; it's Little Thunder. Not little, not little, okay? It was on the side of the plane. I pulled nine G's. I did not barf in my barf bags; my barf bags are clean. I actually have them framed in the hall. It was one of the greatest things I ever did. You do this vertical takeoff, and I remember being at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, and I remember my dad being there, and I was like, "Oh my God." I was like, "Daddy, I don't know if I can do this." He's like, "Laura, you are the safest person on the planet.

They are going to take care of you." And of course, well, I'm probably incriminating myself; I'm probably incriminating them a little bit, but I had to wear a child's flight suit because they didn't have one that fit me, although the top kind of was a little snug, but whatever. They had to put rocks in my flight suit because they didn't really weigh enough. And then somebody put their foot on the scales and was like, "Oh yeah, doc, she's great. She totally can go, don't worry about." Oh my gosh, but it was amazing. We did go Mach 1, and we kind of did go over Mexico, but whatever. It was amazing. So yeah, September 11th is definitely a day to think about those we lost. If you've been in New York City, that memorial is, oh yeah, it really, every time I go there, it's just, it's one of those touching emotional, uh, yeah. But this is a special day to remember those we lost and fight for our freedom every day.

[14:37] Robert Bannon: That story's incredible. That's a fun story. And what I love is that your music always has— to me, you're more than just an artist. You're an author; you have books out. You have songs that are anthems for a purpose, like we talked about with Make-A-Wish. But then you talk about a song like "Rise," and we talk about mental health, and we talk about the way we are all under a lot of stress or pressure. Everybody's stress and pressure is different too. Why did you write that song? And when you talk about a hit, I mean, it touched millions of streams, millions of people's lives. What does that feel like to be able to help people in that way?

[15:09] Laura Bryna: You know, as an artist and as a songwriter, when you put a song out there, you never know what it's gonna become or turn out to be or whatever. Whatever you sit down to write it, and I sat down with Scat and Chief and Zach Garner, and we just sat there, and I was like, "Guys, I want to write something that everybody can relate to. It's about life experiences, and maybe it's the overcome, it's the struggle. And it's not when you get there; it's how you get there," that kind of thing. We put it out last August, not the one that just passed, but a year ago, and we didn't know what it was going to turn out to be. People kept writing in and saying, "This song has changed my life." The 3 a.m. and I can't sleep, you know, I totally relate to that.

Last night, I was sitting there thinking this or that or whatever. One lady I always talk about, she's going through cancer, and she's going through treatment right now. She's got, I guess, 10 or 15 radiation treatments, and she gets to pick a song every time she goes in. She told me, "Laura, I'm gonna choose 'Rise' today because I'm gonna beat this, and I'm gonna rise to the occasion." And I know she is. It's all about positive thinking. I lost my dad a couple of years ago to a horrible blood cancer, and I know what that's like to sit there with radiation and chemo and how lonely that is. It's the 3 a.m. and I can't sleep, and it's that dot dot dot afterwards because in country music, I love that sometimes we come back around to the front, you know, bring the tag in.

It's 3 a.m. and I can't sleep, and everybody's dot dot dot is different. This song has become a mental health anthem, which again, we didn't write it that way, and people have just reached out all over saying, "This song means so much to me. I sent it to my friend who's going through a difficult time." And then to see it do so well on radio, it went number 11 on the adult contemporary charts, you know, sitting there with Ed Sheeran, you know, some schleppers, you know, Taylor Swift, whatever. I mean, just icons, and I'm such a fan of their work. Of course, what makes me love artists even more is they're willing to give back too, and those two are definitely people who love to give back, and I love that.

So it was nice to be in that company and to really get the song out there even more. Yes, it went viral on TikTok. We've got a video that's got over like 31 million views, and every day it grows a hundred thousand. It's just like, as an artist, and I'm very new to the songwriting world, so I'm learning a lot with that. I love to challenge myself. Being around great musicians, my band, they always challenge me to be a better person, a better musician, a better singer. It's really to sit there and know that your song is changing lives, and music heals; it brings people together. That's what this song has done. If you touch one person's life with a song as an artist, a songwriter, musician, entertainer, then you've done your job.

That's what this is all about—it's touching people's lives and bringing them together. I saw, with the last couple of days of my dad being in hospice care, and there I was administering morphine and lorazepam, which I'm like, "I'm a musician; I know nothing about any of this." But I got to spend that special time with him. There we were doing the conga going to the toilet, you know? I get that. I get that memory. Nobody else has that memory, but I do. I remember sitting there singing a verse or a chorus of "Stand By Me," you know, and we were singing because my dad loves the '50s and '60s and that kind of thing. I just remember, and he at that point, he really couldn't talk or say anything, but he could nod his head, and you could see him kind of bopping to the beat of the song.

I'm always going to be there; I'm always going to stand by you. We're going to get through this no matter what it is. And so yeah, it's very special. I love to be able to be a musician, to be an entertainer, to be a songwriter, and to bring people together.

[20:10] Robert Bannon: And that's exactly what you do when your music does, and that's what your new single is going to do—to have some fun and have a, like country's supposed to be fun and wild sometimes and live on the edge and have a wild time. We need to have some fun with our country music, and her new single is fun, fun, fun.

[20:25] Laura Bryna: Yeah, you gotta— for me, I love sassy attitude in your face anthems, you know, rocking all the up tempos. But then when we have an emotional topic or something sensitive, I like to strip it down to a ballad and really make it about the vocal and the lyric. Like in "Rise," there's very little instrumentation in it, you know, maybe a guitar, you know, a cello. But it's really that sensitivity of the topic. But yeah, "Drinkin' Town" is so much fun. I got together with some friends last summer. It was in, I guess it was June, and I was Molly, Will, Stuart, Ryan, and we were all just sitting there. I was like, "Yo, we need a clippity cloppity song." And they're looking at me like I have 20 heads, and they're like, "Oh, what?"

And I'm like, "A clippity cloppity song." And they're like, "Okay." And I'm like, "No, like the stomp clout." And they're like, "Oh God, I like clippity cloppity better." I'm like, "It's a technical term; we're going to use that now as opposed to stomp clout." So now we've got the clippity cloppity, and you know, it's country music. I mean, you gotta have a drink; it's all about having a drink. But yeah, we sat down, we're chatting, and I said, "You know, we're all from small towns and things like that," and we all can relate because, you know, being from a small town, especially, you know, even with my dad going through what he went through, in small towns, people come together; they help each other.

If you know, if you need a cup of sugar, you need a little pick-me-up. When I know with my dad having it, you know, we had some very dark days, and you know, the neighbor would come over, "Hey, I brought a pie; I thought it might make y'all smile," or something, you know? People are there to lift you up, and when things are great, my dad had a great blood count; they're there to celebrate. So it's all that in a small town, and everybody's sharing and being there for one another. With this song, there's always a bar on Main Street; every town's got a bar on Main Street. Plus, you know, in this bar, if the walls could talk, some stuff that these walls—now, I mean, like being in the bathroom, you know, smoking a cigarette, having, you know, writing all over the walls, "Oh, Sam was here," and "Don't remember when Shelly had her first drink," whatever it was, you know, that kind of a thing. But it's, you know, people may move away, and they may go pursue their dream, or they've gotten a new job, or they found someone, or they're marrying something, whatever it may be.

[23:08] Robert Bannon: But it's neat to see everybody, the reaction to the song. Yes, it's, you know, you have songs like "Rise" where, you know, people respond because it's something they're going through, but yet everybody loves to have a good time. What I learned from my dad too is life is too short and you gotta have fun. You gotta have fun. You can sleep when you're dead, you know, always have fun, always learn, always challenge yourself. But fun is key. Yeah. And this is a fun song. It's, you know, it's a fun song and you listen to it. It definitely gets in your head and it's that cloppity cloppity thing. When you have your barbecue, when you're in your car ride home on Friday and you're tired from work and you need to pick me up, you're going out to meet friends. You need a little dance in your house while you're cleaning the floor. She found the perfect clippity cloppity clop clop clop song for you all. And you know, we got a line dance for it too.

[24:38] Laura Bryna: We do. We got a line dance. I'm going to find you, Laura. We got a tutorial coming out soon so you're going to have to do it. Plus you're going to have to record yourself.

[24:45] Robert Bannon: Okay. I'll do it. I'm going to do it. You don't have to ask me to. I'm down for a good time.

[24:49] Laura Bryna: All right. I mean.

[24:50] Robert Bannon: I'm down. You know what's a good time?

[24:51] Laura Bryna: Don't threaten me with a good time.

[24:53] Robert Bannon: Don't threaten me either, Laura. I got your good time right here. So we're going to listen. So our homework is we're going to listen to the song. If you're looking for something also as a school teacher, I think it's really important and beautiful that you've written about snuggles and you've written books that you can order. You can get, you know, "Snuggles Heads to Hollywood," "Harmony Runs for President," and "Little One Gets Lost at the Zoo." You really are the bird lady and you really are the author.

[25:20] Laura Bryna: I am. It's crazy. Like here we got our, sorry. Don't judge my, I do have my sweatpants and I still have my slippers on. But here's our Christmas book where the birds go. They learn it's a Christmas tradition. But what the thing is, is with this book, it's not necessarily about Christmas per se. It's about giving back. And the birds go. It's not getting presents. It's not all about that. We have all those traditions in our family of baking cookies and sleeping under the Christmas tree and going out sledding and all those things. But yet the birds go to a soup kitchen and they go to feed the other homeless birds. And then they also, a tradition in our family is my parents would have us find out about a student in our class, somebody who thought maybe Santa wasn't going to come.

And we would find out everything. We would make gifts and we would also go out and buy gifts. And so the night before Christmas, we would drop them off on the porch. We would knock on the door and we would run. And, you know, it's not about getting thank you. It's not about seeing their reaction. It's knowing that a piece of Christmas, of home and giving back and being together with family and friends, that's what it's all about. And that's what my parents were trying to instill in us. And so the birds do the same thing, except they hide behind a tree and they see the family open the door. Papa, Santa came. So it's really, really all about that. And yes, a little one gets lost in the zoo. And she's the newest to the group.

But yeah, I mean, Tyler, she talks quite a bit. In fact, sometimes we're like a band because she does like the, and like Snuggle does this. And then Snuggle gets lost going to Hollywood. Yes, we have that. Oh, well, she doesn't get lost, but like she thinks it's not going to happen because she is the diva of the group. And she feels that, you know, we're not going to get to Hollywood on time because the car breaks down. And then she's like, I'm not going to get my close up with Mr. Goldfinch. I mean, so we do a lot of little play on words and things like that. So it's fun. But there's always a message, a positive message throughout, like whether it's teamwork or you can do this. I mean, it's even stuff that I go through. I mean, I go through it too. You know, getting ready to go on stage. I look in the mirror. I talk to myself because, you know, we all got a devil and an angel on each side.

[27:52] Robert Bannon: Yeah, right. Right. Right. You know, it's. You know, it's the overcome. It's how you know, it's how you get there, not when you get there. And that's what the books are all about. Where can we get them?

[28:04] Laura Bryna: Well, we've got they're getting ready to come out. So fun. The Christmas tradition is going to be the first book to come out. And we have a website, Beakbuddies.com. You can also get it on Amazon. You can print on demand. You can get a TikTok shot. All of the above. So, yeah. And but we've got a great website, Beakbuddies.com. So go to the website, follow Laura. And so you have homework, everybody. We're going to listen to the new single. Okay, we're going to listen to the old singles. Okay, we're going to do the line dance. We're going to learn the line dance. Because the tutorial is coming out. Buy the books. Okay, and we're going to live life to the fullest. We're going to live and have and live life. Life is short. So that means fly in that jet fighter pilot. Go live your life. Go live your life.

[29:06] Robert Bannon: You know, you write really inclusive music for everybody. You know, the business has changed. Clint Black found you when you signed to them back in the day till today. The business has changed much. We lose icons in country music like we like Dolly. And when I and the times keep changing. What do you think lasts forever? What about what you do will be here? What keeps you going?

[29:30] Laura Bryna: I think it's the love of music, you know, and it's the fans. It's the Briniacs and people like you who get our music out there and allow us to share the dream and the message. I mean, I've been so blessed. I, you know, Dolly, yes. Somebody I have always looked up to, I think, you know, not just an amazing entertainer, songwriter, but an incredible human being, an icon, somebody who loved people and making the world a better place. You know, I just played, we just played Sturgis, the motorcycle bike rally. We played New York City Pride. You know, everybody I love bringing everybody together. You know, to me, this is a great big world and we all can be in it together, you know, and take time to get to know each other. You know, it takes a rare artist that can play Sturgis and New York City Pride.

[30:28] Robert Bannon: You might be, you know, it was so fun. And I love both. I've been to both.

[30:36] Laura Bryna: You will be.

[30:37] Robert Bannon: I have been to. Don't judge me, Laura. I've been to.

[30:39] Laura Bryna: Dude, I'm you're preaching the choir over here.

[30:43] Robert Bannon: I've been to pride and the motorcycle rally. I love it.

[30:46] Laura Bryna: See, there's some gay bikers out there.

[30:49] Robert Bannon: Oh, there are for sure. Absolutely. You know what I mean? And you'll see there's a bunch of them in our music video. And that's, you know, I like to include everybody.

[30:59] Laura Bryna: Everybody. And that's why I love. I love what you do. The music is incredible. Out on our TikTok that they, you know, couldn't talk to their parents and they were like, all right, you know, I feel comfortable here. And that's what it's about. You know, that's it's a big family. It all started. The Briniacs started on TikTok, and that's it's an inclusive space. And nobody's nobody's judged. I mean, I remember when we don't we don't. It doesn't matter with religion, sexual preference, whatever you are. You're always welcome in the Briniacs. That's what we do. And I mean, I remember going through, you know, when my dad was passing. And, you know, I remember Morningstar, who's actually in the video, which is coming out soon for "Drinkin' Town."

She said, you know, Laura, it's OK not to be OK. And I never really knew what that meant. I'm like, oh, what? You know, because I always, you know, know I've got to be there. I've got to be strong for my parents, you know, all of this. And I was like, you know what? She's right. I need to take a moment, take a beat. And, you know, it's the whole airplane syndrome, as I like to call it. You put the mask on yourself and then put it on somebody else. I had to learn that because I'm somebody that always thinks about other people. I don't think about myself. I want to help everybody. And she's like, no, no, no. We're here. We got you. Have a moment. We'll be here when that moment's over. So, yeah, no, I'm all about including everybody.

[32:25] Robert Bannon: And we love you.

[32:26] Laura Bryna: I love being a it's a big family and we all can do it together. And that's how we all have to look at it. We're all in this big, giant family together.

[32:35] Robert Bannon: You are a joy. I'm going to learn a line dance. It will be the first one I've ever learned. And it will be an honor to you. I will put it on the TikTok.

[32:42] Laura Bryna: Oh God, I'll try to stay in rhythm.

[32:44] Robert Bannon: You know what? All right. If you do that, OK, and then I'll come up and we'll do one together.

[32:50] Laura Bryna: Oh, I'm doing that.

[32:51] Robert Bannon: All right. OK, that's a date. Wait, we're going to wear glitter, sparkles. We're going to do all that. And I'll take you to lunch and a full kiki. And maybe we'll go to some "Drinkin' Town" together.

[33:03] Laura Bryna: Dude, it's two to six and I'm two sheets to the wind. It'll be a quick night. Um, or, well, I have to say I did. And well, I will incriminate myself. I again, with those two steps, I stuck my finger in somebody's whipped cream or whatever. So I got kicked out. So it will be that kind of night.

[33:27] Robert Bannon: But we can do that as well. Look, I'm here for the story. I'm here for this good story. I'm here for good. That sounds like a good story. That works for me. It's a good night.

[33:39] Laura Bryna: I know you're a good time. I know she's doing it. She's a good Laura Bryna. Call one eight hundred. You follow us. We're going to follow on TikTok. We're going to follow on social media. We're going to visit your website. We're going to wait for the music video to drop. We're all going to listen to the music and share it and send it to somebody. If you want an inspirational anthem, you want a good old party night on the town. She's got the music set for you. She's got the book coming out to give to your kids and to the loved ones in your life for this holiday season. She's got you covered across the board. Thank you so much.
