Broadcasting from the 58th annual CMA Awards, it's the Bobby Bone Show. Praise Jesus. If you hear that voice, that is Mr. Luke Bryan. And it's Morgan here. Luke, how you feeling? I'm good. I'm good. Just, you know, they ask a lot of me this week, and I'm overworked and I'm stress. You're overworking stress. You're hosting the CMA Awards. I'm pretty sure that's all so hard to not stop drinking early and, you know, not start drinking early. But, no, I'm playing. It's a good week. We're having fun. And we've been working on some of our hosting. Some of our hosting stuff and got Laney in the mix with us, so we're gonna have a good time. I want to know what's the funniest quirk you've learned about Peyton Manning? Oh, the funniest. Well, it's not a quirk, Peyton. When you grow up in the world of pro football, like, timeliness is essential. And if it's 11 o'clock, Peyton is there at 11. And if you're there one minute late, Peyton will. Yeah, he'll. And have you shown up one minute late? Yes, but not necessarily my fault. It was one time I showed up a little late because of bad intel. And yeah, Peyton, let me have it. But, oh, were you getting scolded like you were kind of a kid? He yells at me. It's very. It's a very tricky, tricky work environment. Very stressful. I want to know what a day in the life of Luke Bryan is like. Like, real quickly, tell me outside when you're not working, music's not happening, you're not touring, just normal day in the life of Luke Bryan. Well, if I can go get a little round of golf in. In the morning, and then it's. If I can get around the golf in. And if I'm not golfing, I tell you what, I've gotten in a habit. I Just get on my little side by side and ride around my house. Maybe smoke a cigar every now and then. More than every now and then. But anyway, just try to be outside a lot. Be outside going fishing and hunting and being with my kids and. Yeah. Just not sitting on a couch. I rarely. I don't do that very well. Okay, well, I love a Luke Bryan day. My last question for you. If music is not in the question, it's nothing music related. What is something you would like to do before you die? Ooh, before I do, I want to go back to Athens and get my degree. Get a degree from the University of Georgia. Do you not have a degree? I've got a degree from Georgia Southern, a business degree. But I'd like to go get. I'd like to go get a diploma with Georgia on it. I can just see you hanging out with the college students, getting your degree again. Well, it'd be like. Probably be a great reality show. Okay. Well, Luke, thanks for joining us. Good luck at the awards. You're gonna crush it. We know you. You're gonna be awesome. The CMAs are live Wednesday, November 20th at 8, 7 Central on ABC. Morgan here with Cole Swindell. I haven't gotten to see you, but congratulations. You're now a married man. Thank you. Thank you. Not now. You've been married for a hot. Yeah, yeah. It's been. It's been a minute last five months, so it's been. It's been great. We're winding down the year shows and look forward to the holidays as a married couple, so. Should be good. I want to know, does she have any quirks that she's learned about you guys since getting married where she was like, oh, I didn't know that. I didn't know this one. Golly. I'm sure I don't. She would be better to answer that than me, but. Well, I didn't want to ask you about her because she's probably perfect. Oh, yeah, yeah, she's perfect. I'm not. I'm not. So what have you learned about yourself, maybe in these last few months? You know, nothing. It's. I didn't really know what to expect. I didn't expect it to change too much. It really hasn't. It's. I mean, I really. She's with me a lot, obviously, on the road and stuff, so we kind of just. It's like we're still dating, but we're forever dating. You know, it's. I don't know. It's not that big of a Change, which is good. Honestly, I feel like that's probably the healthy thing. Yeah. Living together and just. We have a place in North Carolina, too, so kind of just being around her family, I love that she loves her family, and I just. All the stuff I've been through, I want her to spend as much time with them as she can. So I'm a big fan of them, and we're looking forward to the holidays together. I was gonna say, have they taken you in as one of their own? Yeah. I mean, that's all you can ask for. You know, it's especially, you know, in my situation. I still have family in Georgia, but, you know, they have. Honestly, to have her parents and sister and brother. They just feel like they've been family. Felt like family since day one. So now this is our first one together as real family. The first Thanksgiving and Christmas. I mean, we had just kind of started dating. That was kind of the first time I'd done that. That was a little. A little scary. But they. They're very good people, and it's just. They're just like her. So it's pretty cool. Well, the best things in life are always the scariest, right? Yeah, you're right. You're right. And that's what. Hey, it. It's. It's going good and looking forward to, I don't know, just seeing what comes next. But married, that was. That was a big deal this year for me personally. So. Yeah. What does a date night with you guys look like? Like, if you're gonna. We're. I know we should probably do more stuff, but when we're not on the road, I mean, we're literally trying to find a new crime doc to watch or something. That's always our thing. So any suggestions out there to crime documentation? Yeah, we're just. Yeah, I guess that's weird to love watching those, but we are, we are. We love watching some true crime stuff. Okay, well, I don't have true crime for you, but I do have. Just tell me anything. Okay, I haven't really. Is that Gary Russell? Yeah. Okay. I've seen. I haven't seen the show, but I've. I know it's out there, so I will. I binge watched that one in both seasons. Anything that someone binge, that's what we like, so I bet that's good. I'll check it out. Okay, good. Binge watch. What about outside of Music? What is something that you hope to accomplish before you die? Outside of music? Outside of music, man, someday I hope to be a Dad, I think that's something that, you know, just the next step. I didn't know if I'd ever get married at some point, and now that I'm there, it's just everything changes, you know, with. When you find that person. So I hope. Yeah, I hope somebody gets to call me dad someday. That'd be cool. You know, girls often put names in their phone what they want to name their kids. Do you have names and a notes on your phone? I don't have them on my phone. I'm sure she's got a. She's got a list. We've talked about it, but I don't have the actual list, so. Is there any notes in Cole Swindell's phone? Do you have any notes for anything in particular? Just other than song titles and lyrics? That's about. That's really it. I mean, just usually when I come up with an idea or something for a song, I'll write it down on my phone. But kids, names, I hadn't. You know, I don't have a list of that, but I'll let her. Let her handle that. She'll probably have the final say. So anyway, so. Okay. All right. And what about next year for you? Like, we're going into the holidays. Like, what is your next year looking like? Are big things coming? Should we be looking for stuff? Yeah, we've got, you know, trying to finish up this fifth album. It'll be out next year. Really looking forward to. To that, but also going to Australia for the first time, New Zealand, doing some shows with Cody Johnson over there. So looking forward to doing that. I've never, never traveled like that, so hopefully we have some time to do stuff other than. I'm looking forward to the shows, obviously, but just to explore and see that. I've never, never traveled that far. So it's gonna be. Gonna be interesting. I'm looking forward to it. And Courtney's going with me, so we'll get into something. It'll be. It'll be fun. Oh, heck, yeah. Well, before you leave, I need you to do an Australian accent for me. Since you are going down under, I need you to do your best Australian accent. Hi, I'm Keith Urban. I don't know. I don't know anything. I don't know. I mean, I don't really know how to. I'm not. I'm not good at that. But I do love the way all Australians talk, so that's actually what I'm looking forward to. I've got some buddies that golfer buddies and it's just. I don't know. I love listening to them talk. They're hilarious, too. Like, it makes it even funnier, the stuff. And I'm thinking about a specific buddy. Not Keith Urban. I don't know him that well, but do you have Keith Urban's phone number? I do not. I know I'm probably not that close. Okay. What is the coolest phone number you have in your phone? The coolest phone number I have. Oh, my gosh. And not numbers. Blake. Blake came in. He's like. Like, numbers. No, no, no. The person. Blake person. Yeah. My gosh. Trying to think. I feel like you hang out with so many cool people. Yeah, I don't. I'm. I'm trying to think the coolest. I don't know. I mean, since. I mean, Peyton Manning, he's a buddy, so I think having him in there is pretty cool. Big fan of his, so it's cool just being a sports fan and some of the people you get to meet, you know, for music and stuff. It's awesome. So I'll go with Peyton for now. I love him. Okay, well, say goodbye in Australian for us. Good day, mate. I'm so bad. They're gonna kick me out of there. Don't miss the 58th annual CMAs live on ABC at 8, 7 Central. Chris Jansen. How's life, man? It's really good, man. Thanks for asking. We. We've been really busy. Like, really busy, but it's been really good. We got the top 30 now with what you see is what you get. The single. We. I have a new song coming on the 22nd, Christmas and Dixie with the original Alabama band. We did a duet, which I'm pretty stoked about. Comes out on the 1122. And then, yeah, we just been dropping some new music. Time makes money look cheap, which is doing good for us. And the kids are healthy, and my wife is hot, and tour is going great, and it's fabulous to be here with you, bad bunny. Okay. And so I do like the kids. How hard is it? Like, when does it get easier? Like, because your kids are kind of older now. I mean, they're like, what's the youngest? 10. See, that's old. That's still really little in my eyes, man. No, look, my phone just talked to you. Yeah, but. Shut up, Siri. I mean, seriously, shut up. Anyway, no, my question is, like, first time the phones ever talked to me in my life, man. They must know something we don't. Yeah, but at 10 years old, they're kind of self reliant for them for a little bit. Yeah, they pretty much are. My kid called me a traitor this morning. I was like, what the heck does that even mean? It was all over a deer hunting stand. But anyway, I love. I love my kids, you know, I love my kids. Yeah. Because my kids, they don't call me a traitor. They call me poopy butt, poop head, poopy face. Does that ever end? Yeah. No, it never ends, man. It only gets worse. In a good way. I mean, here's the thing. I always leave like this, like, do your kids fart on you? Yeah. I mean, they will run from their room to where I'm sitting on the count. They did it last night on the plane. Okay. Just making sure. We were flying last night. I mean, I wake up and I'm like, what the heck, guys? Really? But, yeah, they're constantly fighting your kids. Everybody just fight. Constantly. Oh, my gosh. It's, you know, it's amazing. They can go outside and play a game of football, baseball, tag. Yeah. Get along, get along great minute. They say, dad, do you want to come out and play? And I come out and play, dad, that's not the rule. I wanted to be this rule, dad, he did this, dad, he did that. Yeah, man, you guys were playing just fine until I got out here. Yeah, you're living. You're literally speaking. But I love them. Yeah, I do, too, but you're literally speaking my language. I mean, that's. That's the life I'm living every day. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. I mean, I really wouldn't. The chaos in my house is a beautiful chaos. I don't, I don't. I would be really bored without it. Any second that Kelly and I are away from the kids, we're like, man, we miss them, you know? Yeah. I try to teach my wife, like, she worries about our house being clean. And I explained that we have three boys. It's never going to be clean. It does not matter. If you clean up in 20 minutes, they're going to come wrestle on that clean couch and all the cushions are going to be off. And she just does not get it. Yeah, me and. Me and Jesse Woke up at 5 this morning. We're walking through the house accidentally. It was an accident. Yeah, in our muck boots. We had mud all over the place. And so I can relate with the house cleaning thing, man. But again, what are houses for if you can't live in them? And that's the way I look at It. The other day was my wife's birthday and she's like, oh, we're going to clean all day. And I'm like, yeah, okay. And all we did was just play with the kids and nothing got clean. And she was like, well, so much for what I said we were gonna do today. Like, go Fish cards all over the freaking house. My wife tells me we're gonna clean all day. I'm like, I'm into it. I may. You know what I'm saying? I got what you're saying. I. Yeah, we're about to get real dirty and get to cleaning. I like to do the dishes. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, look, look, dog. I'm like, I'm ready to get dirty and get clean. So, I mean, whatever happens, happen. I don't even care. I mean, that's. And I'm like, don't worry, honey. I'll put the soap in the dishwasher. Yeah, okay. I don't even know to say to that one. Chris Jansen, man, thank you. I mean, hey, congratulations on everything. Can't wait for the Christmas song. And yeah, good to see you, man. Welcome to the Bobby Bone show, where we talk X rated content and all of the things in between. Don't drop the soap. Yeah. Breaking news, guys. Breaking news. Chris Jansen almost died. Yeah. Really? I mean, the Mountain Dew was killing me and I had to get off of it and I quit it. I just quit it all of a sudden, like on a Tuesday. And I've been eight months clean. So what happened? But you were doing Mountain Dew. Like, tell the people that don't aren't super familiar with this. Like, you have drank Mountain Dew religiously since you were young. Oh, yeah. Since I was at least 6, 7 years old, I've been drinking 12 to 24 a day. And on top of that, every candy and unhealthy thing you could put in your body. And I finally just got to where I. Man, my kidneys were hurting, my liver was hurting, my gallbladder was hurting. And Luke Bryan, of all people, and his wife hooked me up with their doctor friend. So were you, like, bulging out while you looking pregnant or like. I was looking straight pregnant. My friends were picking on me. What, honey? Oh, yeah. I went from size 30 waist jeans to 32 waist jeans. I've never done it in my life. Girls. You know what that's like, right? Whoa. You know what that's like. Everybody knows what that's like. So. So literally, like, in a long story short, I was my body was just really decaying on the inside. And so I just dropped it, literally. And the dude told me. He's like, you can either quit this or die. Those are the choices. And so I quit it. I gave blood for the first time. I took my blood levels after the fact, and my blood levels had leveled back out. I was feeling great, and I've been feeling great ever since. So I've. So wait, wait. You gave blood like you donated blood for the first time? No, no, no. Like, the doctors. I did a blood test. Right now it's just Mountain Dew. And so then they redid it, and it's now down to blood. No, I actually. Because I was traveling so much, which I know it sounds stupid, but it's the truth. So I was traveling so much, I really didn't have time. And so I just said, okay, I'm gonna quit this. And I quit. And months and months and months and months and months went by. When I finally got finally in to see the doctor, they took the blood finally, and he said, well, your levels are great. Everything is completely great. And I attribute that to just getting healthy. And now the only liquid I've had. I've had 12 cups of decaf coffee in the last eight months. Other than that, the only liquid in my body has been water. The only liquid. Wait, hold on. How long did you have withdrawals? Never. I didn't have one withdrawal because, like, when I gave up Cokes back in high school, I was a junior in high school, right? And Mrs. Whiteside, rest in peace, she called my parents and was like, your son thinks he's running for political office in my classroom. He won't sit down. So I thought, oh, it's because I drink so many Cokes. You know what I mean? So I stopped drinking them. I'll tell you what. For two weeks, I got headaches, and I was like, oh, my gosh. But then I haven't had a Coke since. I got zero headaches. And here's why I think that I had no withdrawals. I mean, I'm just being straight real with you here. When someone tells you you might die, you have to change immediately. You got to change yesterday. So I changed. And I had. I mean, I was on a mission, man. I did a parasite cleanse. I did every cleanse you could do on your body. And I mean, like, my body was detoxing like yeast and crazy colors and, like. I mean, like, sweating out, even. Like, it was just nutty. And so now I'm finally level, and I haven't had Any junk in my body, and I don't even crave it. If you tried to give me a Mountain Dew, Coke, anything like that, I know this will kill endorsements, but, like, I don't even care. I just. I don't even want it. I only drink water. And that's it. You had, like, a really brutal wake up call. Oh, it was amazing. It really was amazing. And here's the thing. When I got into the doctor finally to see him, he's a hunting buddy of me and Luke's. Great guy. I said, what about cigars? I mean, I love cigars. He's like, you can still smoke cigars. That's no problem. That's not like. That's not gonna crush you. Like, this is gonna crush you. And I said, all right, so, you know, I still have a bit of a vice, but everybody's got one. Not a big deal. I can give it up if I need to, but, yeah, I'm as clean as a whistle as far as that's concerned. Your wife was also saying, too. I think this is super relatable. She was like, it was really hard to get you into the doctor. You didn't want to see the doctor. You know why? Because we're men and we don't go to the doctor. Well, and also, you think. I mean, you think the worst. I mean, when you think something's going wrong with you, the first thing we do is go to WebMD and then Google tells you you have cancer. And so I don't want that, and nobody wants that. And I. It just. I just hate it for people who actually do have that. And so I was freaked out. I'm not gonna lie. I've never been scared of really anything in my life, But I was pretty scared to go to the doctor. I was scared to give blood, and I did it. And I was so grateful 30 minutes later to hear that everything was totally normal. And my body's not fighting off any kind of, you know, infection or disease. And I'm justi'm just thankful for it. I really am. And Iand, I'mI'm not a proponent for great health, but I will tell you this, like, take it from a guy like me who's been drinking Mountain Dew his whole entire life. I loved it. I mean, I really loved it. But you couldn't give me one now. It's just. It's the craziest thing you've ever seen. Yeah, but you love life more. You love your family more in America. If you're listening, put down the Bottle. Pour it out. Chris Jansen can do it. You can do it. Yeah. It's seriously from eight months over, guys. Eight months sober, man. Thanks. Crazy. They all start giving coins for Mountain Dew people. All right, and we're out. The CMAs are live Wednesday, November 20th at 8, 7 Central on ABC. Morgan here with Dasha. We are getting ready for CMA Awards. Is this your first official CMA awards week? This is my first official. Last year I snuck in, like, genuinely sneak. I, like, was not invited at all. My friend had an extra, like, nosebleed ticket and then we snuck down to get closer. I was not invited. Last year is the end of the story. But now we are. You're a seat hopper. I love that so much. Okay, what does it feel like then for you? Like, this week has to be very exciting. Exciting for you. It's so full circle. I mean, this really ties this year in, like a beautiful big red bow. This year has just been the most incredible, insane, so fast paced. And it's really cool to have this all, like, accumulate to this wonderful week where everyone's in town here celebrating country music. And I'm just happy to be here. Well, and listen, everybody saw your viral blow up and everything that happened, but if there's anything that I know especially about Nashville is it's a 10 year town and there was a lot of work that went into that. So for you, what did that work kind of look like before everybody saw this huge moment for you? Yeah, I mean, my work started when I was 13. That's when I put my first song out ever. And then I've been releasing music and writing since I was like 8 years old and playing gigs since I was like, 10. And I've done my 10 years, just not specifically Nashville. I moved here when I was 18, though, so that's been, what, six years? Okay. Yeah. I was not going to ask your age, so I was going to let you 24. Do that math for a second. Yeah. So I don't know, it just. Nashville has been so lovely to me and the songwriters here are unmatched and just grateful. Who is like the country icon to you? Because I'm a couple years older than you, so I have some. But I'm curious if they're the same for you. Growing up, it was Miranda and Carrie. Okay. But I just love how badass they are. And that's. I feel like a character trait that I love about myself is how I'm very crass, I'm very confident, and I think those two women did Such an incredible job at shaping their artistry around how fearless they are. Absolutely. And it's funny you say that, because they were inspired by my two icons, which is Dolly Parton and Shania Twain. Shania is a big one for me. Dolly's big one for me. I mean, Shania giving me the People's Choice Award was, like, the most insane, full of. Did you die? Was there a little bit of. I was dying inside? Are you kidding me? First off, I didn't think I was going to win, obviously, because I'm against all these incredible people, Carrie and Miranda. You know, I'm just like, no, I'm not going to win. It's all good. I'm just happy to be there. She calls my name, and I was like, wow, Shania Twain is giving me my first award ever right now. It's just, like, the wildest thing ever. If you would have told me a year ago that that was going to happen, I would have been like, you are lying to me. Well, I love it. As someone who is also, like, a confident woman, I love that you have just taken this and run with it and continue to do so. I think it's so impressive. And please don't ever stop. Don't let anybody. Hell no, girl. I do want to ask you, outside of music, this is a fun question. Okay. What is something you hope to accomplish before you die? Not music related. Ooh. I really would like to. A lot of people in my family are divorced, and I really want to find, like, a really healthy, loving relationship, because I think I'm capable of that. I believe you're capable of that. I'm very picky with the people I date, too. As I should be. Yeah. As I should be. And I think I'm. I think I'm capable. I want to be a mom, too. I really want a daughter. Oh, I love that. Yeah. I love how everybody comes in with, like, totally different ideas of what this was, and yours just went so sweet. I know. Wholesome. I'm a sweetie pie inside. You'll never know. You know what? But I'm rooting for you. Not just in your success, but to also find that I think everybody is deserving and deserves to have that. So thank you. Congratulations on everything.

This I just have to present so like I don't have to play which is always like super nerve wracking. So I feel good. I just, I'm able to just like enjoy it and be at home for a week. You know what's funny is we did a game and it was trying to guess the thing the artists are most known for. Aside from music, what would you think yours would be aside from music? My beard. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like that's like I just left the interview. They were talking like you got voted like best beard or something. I was like, yeah, it checks out. Do you think you'll ever shave it? Probably. I feel like we're, we're going to Australia in January and it's like 105 degrees down there so I could see me probably shaving. I'll never shave with a razor but I will like trim it down to where like it's just like a five o'clock shadow. You're saying you're never going to go full on baby ball? No, no, no, no, no. Never for the rest of my life. Like is it because you've seen yourself that and you didn't like it or you just. I just hate, I just hate shaving with a razor. Okay. Like, yeah, I don't like it either. I don't think that I look that great with like a clean shaven face. Okay. I Have, like, a round face. So I feel like if I had, like, high cheekbones, like, you know, like a defined jawline, I could go like straight razor. But no, I need. I need a little bit of. A little bit of texture. Okay. That's totally fair. You are a massive sports fan, and I know everybody's here to talk about music, but we're going to talk about some other things. Talk about sports whenever. Okay. You're a big sports fan, and the thing is, is that people have all their rituals that they do. Do you have any rituals you do to make sure your team wins? Oh, gosh. I have to wear, like, it's weak, but, like, I have to wear lsu. Some type of LSU gear. It doesn't matter. Like, feet, heads. It could be a hat, sock. I'm. I've never watched an LSU game without some type of gear on. And if you haven't, like, do you think they would lose? Is that the feeling? Well, I've watched them lose in both, but I just feel like maybe I should change it up. That's actually just winning. I have to admit to you, I don't watch a lot of sports, so I'm not familiar. It's been a rough year for the Tigers. But you know what? There's ups and downs, and this is a down year. We're going to bounce back. We'll be fine. But, yeah, maybe I should change it up. We play Vanderbilt this weekend. Oh, yeah, that could be rough because if you lose to Vanderbilt, there might be another goal post in Cumberland. Well, luckily, it's in Baton Rouge. Oh, do you guys have a goalpost that they could throw somewhere? Yeah, they could dump in the Mississippi River. That would be. And they would probably do it. If they beat lsu, they will probably go throw goalposts to the river. If they were doing that and you were at the game, would you participate? Yeah, I think even if they just drummed out, I was like, you know what? I live in Nashville now. I'm kind of half and half here. I might as well give a hand. I'll carry for $100, and then I'm out. That's impressive. Yeah. What about dad life? I mean, outside of being on the road and everything, your dad life, what is the most dad Jordan Davis story that you have for me right now? Oh, gosh. Maybe something you learned from your kids recently. That's a fun lesson. God, I don't know. I'm such a dad. I'm trying to think of, like, do you do Jack, like, dad jokes often? Are you in the school line and you're cracking jokes. Well, here's. Here's the funny thing. All right, so my daughter goes to school. It's like, right around the corner from the house. And when I drop her off, it's like, all dads that are, like, going to work. So it's like, nice shoes, slacks. Like, some of them have blazers or, like, ties or, like, button down shirts. And I'll like, go in, like, Crocs and, like, sweatshirt and, like, walk her to class. And like, when I walk out, I'm like, man, I should really start cleaning up a little bit, like. And the other day my daughter came home and she was like, dad, all the other dads look way better. They dress nicer than you. When you dropped me off from school, so that was the last straw. I was like, all right, if I'm gonna. If I'm gonna take my daughter to school, I need to not wear a sweatshirt, sweatpants, socks tucked into my sweatpants and Crocs. Okay, but is it not the worst when you get roasted by your own kids? Yes. And you're like, terrible. Besides the. This. What? Is there another roast that you've had recently where it kind of hurt your soul a little bit? Yeah, I just finished a song. Just wrote a song. Came Home was playing it for my wife, and I was screwing it up because I just wrote it. Eloise. Geez, give me a break. And I just wrote it and I was kind of screwing it up and. But I was like, oh, my wife will get it. Like, you know, I'm not playing it perfectly, but you'll hear the words, and I get done, and I'm just, like, waiting for the reaction. And my daughter's like, that's not that good, Dada. And I was like, geez, tough crowd. I have a couple other ones that were pretty good, which is why you're going to school. So figure, you know, maybe keep your opinion to yourself. Is there any that she likes of your songs? Yeah, she loves. Next thing you know, she loves, but she doesn't listen to my music. She's, you know, a huge Morgan fan. Huge Luke Combs fan. Ain't no Love in Oklahoma is playing at my house 24 7. They love that song. You know, if I didn't know any better, I would think that you're not a music artist yourself. I know. I don't think they, like, there's other, like, music artists. And then I'm just trying to get. I'm just trying to make it, like, in the eyes of my kids. I am still just trying to. Just trying to get in there. You know, that's the best part about having kids. At least they keep you humble forever. You can never, you know, be too cocky with having children. Absolutely. Well, Jordan, thanks for joining. I hope your week is awesome. Good luck presenting. Thank you. Hopefully not too nervous and maybe switch it up for lsu. Yeah. All right. No, no gear. No gear this weekend. Not wearing it. No gear. The CMAs are live. Wednesday, November 20th at 8, 7 Central on ABC. I'm joined by Blake Shelton, who is like 10ft taller than me. We on camera. You're on camera and you're on audio. You gotta play the. Oh, my bad. It's okay. We're learning. You're new at this. You haven't been around a time or two. We're doing rapid fire questions. Are you ready for this? Bring it on. Okay. Coolest phone number in your phone. Like. Like the numbers are cool. No, no, no. Okay, I see what you're saying. I just got John Daly's phone number. That's pretty cool. That is pretty cool. That's like the new exciting one in there. Okay. That's a cool one. Yeah. What is your favorite date night activity to do with Gwen? We love to just get a. Like a. Whatever. The. It doesn't even matter. Whatever. Like the newest series. Documentary or series, like on one of the Netflix or whatever. We love that. You like a Netflix and chill. Yes. Yes, I do. Is that what you're calling it? A Netflix and chill? That's what it's been called forever. Are you just. Did you just hear that for the first time? Yeah. And I'm going to be the one saying it. And everybody's going to say no one says that anymore. So I'm really glad I could teach you that. Okay. What is something that you hope to accomplish before you die? Not related to music, touring, anything like that. Something you hope to accomplish before you die? Wow. Maybe I should read a book. You've never read a book? Not a full book. Not all the way to the end. I can't stay focused that long. I can't tell by the time I get like halfway through the book and it's like, man, this is boring. You watch the movie? Are you messy? I can't tell. I read tons of articles all the way to the end, but not a full book. Did you not? I mean, like a book. Like a novel. Like a novel. Like a fictional novel. Whatever. A true story even. But not. Nothing thicker than that I've ever completed. Like that probably. Okay. So let's get you a Harry Potter book. Maybe seen the movie. Why would you read it if you could watch the movie? You have a good point. But you have a lot of readers that you probably just made. Mad. Okay. Your favorite thing to do on your day off. If you could do anything in the world, what is the thing that you're gonna. I love. I love farming. That's what I do now. Yeah. And when you say farming, and I love deer hunting, too, but I've gotten to the age where it's like the farming part of that is my favorite. And in particular, what is planting? Okay. Planting, Preparing the soil, putting the seeds in the soil and wishing that it would rain. All of that stuff. What are the seeds that you currently have planted? Well, currently is wheat and alfalfa. Okay. Yeah. But this spring it'll be beans and corn and all that crap. Okay. You don't really care. No, I do. I'm from Kansas. Like, I grew up around all of that. That's why I was asking, were your family farmers? They weren't farmers, but my grandparents had a whole garden and I'd go and I'd help them plant all kinds of things, and it was so much fun. Yeah, See, it's a cool. It's very cathartic. So I understand what you're saying here. Okay. Well, that's all I have for you today. But I. I do also want to say, do you like Vince Vaughn? I do. You remind me very much of Vince Vaughn. No kidding. And it's. I think it's your Persona, your humor, the way you do things. You remind me a lot of Vince Vaughn. I love that guy. I'll take that as a compliment. Have you ever met him? I don't think I've ever met him, but I'm not going to swear to it. Okay. I don't think I've ever met him, though. Okay. All right. You have anything else? No. Then we're going to get out of here. Back to you. Thanks, Blake. Don't miss the 58th annual CMAs live on ABC. When? Wednesday night at 8, 7 Central. We got Ella Langley here, and I was just looking at your Instagram. Jimmy Fallon. Some like how. Tell me about it. It was crazy. It was wild. I mean, we just did a Today show and then so flying back in two weeks time to do the Tonight show and just walking down the hallway when it was the Carson show and seeing all the pictures of the legendary people that have been in those green rooms and then getting on stage and rehearsing and the roots were right here, just wild and Jimmy Fallon, you know, he's goofy, you know, as you see on tv. Do you meet him beforehand? Is he the same way or is he real calm? No, he was exactly how you think he is. He's so nice. He was so sweet. We didn't get to meet him before, but I did get to meet him afterwards. And he just came up to me and said the nicest things. And he met my whole band, which was cool, and shook all their hands, which is really nice of them. And then we started singing David Allen Co so organically it was hilarious. I don't know where it came from. And just. We both started doing it and I started singing harmony and I just, like. I had a video of me, like, showing my parents, like, what them watching it for the first time. And my dad was like, yes. Something I did, right? Yes. What has it been like for your parents to watch you? Like, in this past year, things have just exponentially blown up for you. What has been the coolest moment you've gotten to share with your parents? I think they're just constantly like, what? Like, my dad's always like, wow. You know, like, he's just a good old redneck from Alabama. Like, he's just like, this is actually. You know what? This is actually happening. I'm really shocked. Do they have security now at their house because people drive by. No, my dad's security enough for them at their house. Oh, what's small town? And he one of the dads that would, like, sit there with the gun, like, ready to. If anybody came by the the house. Like a boyfriend or something. Anything he did want. He did show a pistol once to a boyfriend I had over to the house. Tell me more. He just showed it to him. He just said, this is my pistol. And then that was it. I love that. So he is literally the classic country dad. I don't know. He kind of lets me handle my own self. He. He really has. He. He's a. He's always pushed me to handle my own things, but when it. When in need, he wouldn't be there. But both of them are just excited. I'm one of four, so there's four of us siblings, so all of them, when they come to shows, I think they're all just like. I think it's weird for them that people are weirded out by meeting me and then they're weirded out by meeting them. I think, you know, they're all still living in kind of the same hometown that I grew up in. And so when people are, like, nervous to talk to them, my dad's like, what? Where do you fall in the siblings? I'm the second oldest. Okay. Did you. Were you like the rebel child or were you the one that took care of a lot of things? I took care of everything. Yeah. But I had some rebel in me. I feel like the rebel in you is coming out now with this career and you like, chasing some dreams and. Yeah, I've always had rebel in me. Don't worry. No, it's always been there. Bless, you know, Bless is all I can say. But, yeah, this really. That's what Hungover was written about, is the rebel. I like it. What's been the hardest part about getting famous? I think people expect a certain version of you all the time. I think they emotionally expect for you to be a certain way constantly, which is, like, as a human being, that's kind of hard to do all the time, you know? And so I think that. I really do think that. It's just weird, you know, I've always wanted do this. I've always wanted to. I thought about selling out shows, and I thought about, you know, recording music, and I thought about all that. And I did think about people being there singing the words, but I guess I never thought about the fame aspect of the whole thing. And it's hard, isn't it? Like, you're at the airport and you got your, you know, earphones in. Someone comes up and you're like, do you not see that I have my headphones in? I had a guy Googling me on the plane. Yes. The other day, he was like, Googling me while I'm sitting there, and I was like, this is weird. This is really weird. Did he end up talking to you? He did. He kept asking me so many questions, and I was just trying to read my book. Was he sitting next to you so you couldn't. Oh, you couldn't. Couldn't do anything about it. Oh, that's. But that's what the good. The big headphones are for. But you know that it's fine. But it. What book were you reading? I'm reading this one called A Nightingale. It's. It's about World War II. It's incredible. Is it fiction or true story? True story. It's. It's called the Nightingale. It's about this woman who saved a bunch of pilots and. Wow. These two sisters in World War II. It's pretty wild. They lived in France. Are you a big reader? I kind of picture you in a Coffee shop, reading books on your spare time. Yeah. Recently I've been reading a lot more. Just some. When you read, you have to turn your brain off. And these days, like, I really try not to go on social media as much. You know, I post my little dude. I do my little post, and we have a team that also will post things for me. But that's when you started making this. When you have a team that's posting for you, that's when you're starting to get a little. I had one girl a lot. This whole time. I hired her on the same way as I hired my band from the beginning. Her name is Kaylee Robillard, my photographer. Every photo you've seen of me, pretty much, she's. She crushes. Yeah, she does a great job. And we've kind of just grown it together. So now I'm getting the point where, like, December, I am taking the apps off my phone completely, and I'm just gonna read books and paint and play with my dogs. That is Mental Health 101. People don't understand. It's just like, everybody gets mad. Like, on Instagram, I don't follow anybody. I post and I get out. Everybody like, oh, did you see this? I'm like, no, I didn't see anything. Like, I don't see it. Like, I just post it and boom. And I'm out of there. And it feels so good to not just look at it all the time. Yeah, there's. And there's really an endless amount of things to be looking at these days, especially when your job is a lot of. On social media. So I do want to ask you because it's been, gosh, about a year and a half now that I've had bangs, and it is arguably one of the most controversial thing. Thank you. I appreciate that. You're the queen of bangs and country music, so it's one of the most controversial things I've ever done. People have the most split opinions of something I did. I love them. Do you ever get, like, people who are like, why do you have bangs? Why do you. No, not even. I. No. I think I'm actually not ever allowed to. I always have to have bangs. Now, probably it would be like, when I don't want people to recognize me, I should just walk around with my bangs, like, tucked back. That's the thing, Morgan. That's why it was so controversial with you, is because you were no bangs for so long, and then you came in with these bangs. Everybody's like, whoa, wait a minute. This year I shot my whole album. Shoot. Oh, I didn't know. And then I got bangs, see. Well, that's because I accidentally. Well, I didn't accidentally. I purposely cut my bangs. I accidentally them up. And the hairdresser, I was like, you just gotta fully send it now. Yeah, well, they look amazing. And I'm glad that I tried the glue. Yes, I did do your glue. She has a glue hack. You use eyelash glue and you keep it down and they never move. It is the coolest time. It's wild. This is what girlhood is about. Yeah, I have no idea. I can't relate to any of that. I mean, I barely do my hair now. I went in the bathroom and put some water on. Is it still up? I mean, it's okay. It's kind of. I need some eye. What is it called? Eyelash glue. Yeah, yeah, that would help you. And I just need a haircut and a shave and all that. You know what I mean? But I enjoy the homeless look. Yeah, this is true. But thank you, Ella, for hanging out with us for a little bit. The CMAs are live Wednesday, November 20th at 87 Central on ABC. I'm trying to be as great as you. I mean, it's really hard. I mean, it's a lot of pressure to be this famous, you know? Please don't feed into this anymore. No, seems like it'd be fun. We really need it. No, it's really, it's. It's crazy how like being a celebrity just makes your life so much easier. Yeah, well, yeah, sure. No, no. You know, you're kind of rising up and so you have people handling things for you now, like. Yes, that's nice. It's really nice. Right? It kind of. I feel like I've just reverted to like a 7 year old or something that I like. I don't even know how to do things anymore. I don't. Are you having people also bathe you and stuff too? Not quite that. I think I knew how to shower by the time I was seven. I think I was showering myself by seven. Okay, so I can do that. But like beyond that, I'm kind of lost. It's amazing. Don't you have someone drive you places sometimes? Exactly. I live most of my life on the bus. Yeah, it's kind of like the few times I do get to drive, I gotta like remember how. And you have people telling you, hey, you need to be here at this time. And it's like, we're gonna leave at this time. You don't have to set your own schedule. It's amazing. It's like, the older you get, the more you get taken care of. It's so cool. Yeah, it's not bad. I would like to say we are here with Zach Top. We never quite introduced. Did I never say Zach? So just for anybody listening, this is Zach. That won't mean much to most people. So it means you have over a million followers on TikTok. I'm pretty sure it means a lot to a lot of people. Appreciate y'all having me. I do want to ask. Dang. You got a million followers on Tick. That's pretty dang good. Now I got him. You got it? Yeah. You have been blowing up this last year insanely. But it didn't start there. Like, people are just seeing the success of that now. Give me some origin story for you. I'm sure you have some crazy things of, like, nobody will ever believe this about my story. Nobody will ever believe this. I don't know. I'm sure you did crazy things to pursue your career and your dreams that nobody would be like. You didn't do that. There's no way. I most. I don't know. I started way early. I started playing guitar when I was 5 and took my first guitar lesson. And the teacher asked me what I want to learn to play, and I said, amarillo by morning. And I think she kind of gasped and said, well, that's a nice idea. Maybe we'll start with Jesus loves me and work our way up to that and then. But I did play my first show at seven years old, and Amarillo by morning was in the set list. That was good. So you learned, like, when you say you played your first show, did you actually get paid for the show, or did you just, like, play for a couple friends? If I got paid, my mom and dad skimmed that, but it was the parent. No, it wasn't. It was like. It was in public. Yeah. Oh, yeah, it was. We opened up for. There was a Patsy Cline musical at the local high school auditorium, and they. They asked us to do the. I had a little family band. My little brother and two older sisters. We played a little bluegrass music, and we went and opened up for the Patsy Cline musical. So you basically opened up for Patsy Klein. So close. Yeah. Just a couple degrees away from Batsy Klein. I don't know if that's crazy or not, but that's a bit of an origin story, I guess. So family band? Yeah. Where are they now? You left them. You just said bye. They all grew up and got real jobs. Dude, is it weird to be the famous one out of your family? Because that's how like, my brother and sister. My sister's a nurse and my brother works in an office somewhere. And I'm like, man. And they're always like, oh, it's your brother. Like, isn't it weird how you become the famous one? And people look at you like, ah, you're the winner of that family. I don't know if I'm the winner of that family. My all my siblings are very successful and they do good job. I mean, my sister saves lives, but you know what I mean? Like, there's a lot of nurses that save lives. You know, there's not a lot of people that talk on the radio and there's not a lot of people that, you know, prefer perform, you know. He's getting out of control. Yeah, there. I guess. Yeah. There's not many. Not many people doing what we do. Yeah. Lunchbox. That's pretty cool, huh? Yeah, it's so cool. I mean, who has a million dollars on tick tock? I don't know how to feel right now. That lunchbox compared you back over here maybe. Okay. Zach. Yeah. We're gonna. We're gonna go off of this tangent. I would like to know, in your life, like, you've done some really cool things musically, but outside of music, what is something you want to accomplish before you die? Oh, great question. I've always kind of had a desire to get my pilot's license and fly a helicopter. So you want to get the license so you can. But we want to say before you die. I know. Yeah, I know. There's too many people that have died in helicopter crashes. I'm setting myself up. But I will have gotten the license and I will fly for a little bit before. Even if that's the first and only time I will have done it. Interesting that you said helicopter too. Most people say for whatever reason. I like. Yeah, the helicopter thing. You like to hover? Yeah, hover and you can kind of. It's kind of like your little bumblebee or something. I don't know. It's cool. You don't have to just go one direction. Well, I think that people would be very sad if you start. Maybe, Maybe we wait for that goal to a little bit later. I promise I'll be safe. I won't go up when there's a storm. I just, you know, I think it'd be cool. I think it would be awesome. I think that's a cool thing. To try and accomplish in your life. So I'm on board. But, you know, just, we'll be careful with it. We'll take our time. We'll do it right. People will come at me for you no longer being here. So there you go. All right. We don't want that. All right, Zag top. Yeah. Thank you so much. And he wanted Morgan's questions more than I. So kind of weird, you know, One's led to another. We're out. Don't miss the 58th annual CMAs live on ABC Wednesday night at 8, 7 Central.

That's, that's like, if I sing, like, if I sing at the house, they're like, like they're completely unimpressed by it all, but you pop on some like AI YouTube video of Old McDonald and it's like absolute club banger for them. They love it. Yeah. What about the TV show or movie that they make you watch on repeat? It's all of it. My kids favorite is this super kind of obscure YouTube channel called Kid Crew. And it's just like a mom and dad and their kid and they like fix power wheels and like build stuff and like he is completely obsessed with. With that. That's like the only thing that's like, keeps his attention. What is your dad life like when there's no music involved? You're not on tour, you're just at home. What's like a normal day for you? I mean, exactly, like, like running a daycare. Is it? Yeah. Two and a half year old. One and a half year old. So changing diapers, making food, going on wagon rides. Changing diapers, making food, putting them down for a nap, waking them up. So you're just a regular guy. Yeah. Does it feel weird for you to like make that transition ever? No. I mean, I think it's natural. Right. Like when it's your kids, you're just. I mean, it's like an instinct thing, right? Yeah. But then you have to go on the stage and you're like, I'm a superstar, but I'm changing diapers. You have to go, like, pretend like you're cool for a couple hours. You're like, man, I'm really cold. And your kids come home and they're like, I don't want to eat that for dinner. And like, well, you're eating that for dinner. Isn't it so funny how they humble you? When's the last time your kids humbled you? Every day. Is there a memory that you can think of that one right now? I don't even know. There's somewhere. They're like, they're, they're. They're breaking something at my house right now that when I get home I'm going to have to fix. Oh, are you a good fixer? Like you can fix a lot of things? No, no. You call to get it fixed. I mean, it depends what it is. Okay. Like a car. Like I'm not popping the hood on the car. And like. Okay, fair. If there's, if we can't be good at everything, Luke, like if the gas isn't empty and it's not working, I'm in trouble. Okay. You know what I mean? That's true. But you, it's good because genuinely, you can't Be good at everything. You have to save some for the rest of us. Yeah, you gotta do. Yeah. The last question I have for you. What is something outside of music that you would like to do before you die? Oh, gosh, I don't know. I mean, I love the hunt. I'd go. I'd love to go like a big. Like a. Like a big legit, like, sheep hunt in Alaska or like Montana, like, backcountry camp. Like a big horn sheep. Bighorn and whatever tag I can get, really? To be honest. No. No preference. Okay, well, that's a good goal. Yeah. If everything shops tomorrow, he'll be in Alaska. If you're out there, a backcountry sheep hunt. I'm looking, so. Thank you. L. It's good to see you. The CMAs are live, Wednesday, November 20th at 87 Central on ABC. Are we rolling? I'm assuming we are rolling like Limp Bizkit. That is Russell Dickerson Morgan here. We're hanging out at cmas. Aren't we hanging? Are we hanging? We're hanging. We're hanging. We're doing something. I need to know. You're. You're wearing a whole bunch of chains right now, and this is a new look. Chain gang. Well, why. So. Okay, I got it. It started with the swifties. Like, it started with, like, the little. Everybody started bringing little bracelets for the show. And, you know, you take them and then you have, like. Next thing you know, you have 12 on. Okay. And then I'm just like, why didn't I just forget about them? So my wife was like, I'm gonna make you, like, some little cute ones, you know, so. Oh, she made some, like, black friendship bracelets. She's very aesthetic. Like, she a. Aesthetics gotta be, right? So we got my two sons. Okay. And wait, can you explain? So Radman. Radman, that's one of your sons, Radford? Yep. Okay. And then you've got. And then Remington, his is. I call him Remdog. My dog's name is Remy. Really? You call him Remdog? And I call her Remdog. Adorable. Same page. Same page here. Yeah, we got this. Okay. And then on this side, it says yours and Kaylee. So it's like the little love side. And then this one says, what a life. This is from a fan. And I just. The fan made that one. Very aesthetic. I know, right? That's why I kept it. It's got the color scheme, and it says, what a life. Are you. Do you have, like, a color aesthetic? Always. I feel like I go between like the. This vibe, like the camoe vibe, and also just like the most neon, loud, like straight noise. Yeah, I like, I oscillate. I'm anywhere in between that at any given moment. You do have like a whole vibe. And you also have this insane energy when you're on stage. Are you that, like, genuinely. Be honest with me. Are you that energetic all the time in your life or is that your stage Persona? No, I mean, well, I mean, there's. Everybody has moments where you're like exhausted and like, we have two boys. So. No, at. At five in the morning. I'm not like, let's go. I mean, sometimes actually you see you on stage could fool me because you have so much energy. Right? But I mean, I do. I'm a big cold plunge guy. Like as soon as, when I get out of the cold plunge at. Well, I don't do it at 6am but you know, in the morning I'm like, you have a Hulk moment. Yeah, like a Randy Savage on Blow moment. That's a wild comparison. You know, I mean, like, we all know. Everybody knows. I just. The cold plunge is my drug of choice. So are you doing the cold plunge every single morning? Mmm, no. Like it. Like this morning I did a cold shower though. I need to know something and maybe you'll be the one that's honest with me. But like, this cold plunge obviously was taking over social media and stuff. But like, how does something, a trend happen in like country music? Like the cold Plunge, all you guy artists started to do this. Really? Like, did somebody tell somebody you guys all got together? I need to know how this happened. No, it's just like a. It's something to be conquered. It's so hard. But do you see one of them do it? You're like, I need to do that or not. Country artists. But I see like a dude in like, I don't know, Saginaw, Michigan or whatever who's like, there's snow on the ground. He like cracks through the ice on his. On his cold plunge. And he gets in like he's done it for like 380 days straight. You know what I mean? And I'm like, I can do this for three minutes, bro. Like, it's something to be what? And like once you do it, once you get out, I like, I'm serious. It's like you're like, you can do. That's the hardest thing you'll do all day. Does it sustain your energy over the course of the day or just in that Moment. It. It jump starts it. You gotta. You, obviously, you gotta, you know, you got to eat right. You gotta, you know, carry on with that. But I'm telling you, cold plunge in 3, 4 minutes. Best day of your life. Okay, so we start with the cold blend. What is the rest of your day like a normal day in Russell's life look like without the music, touring. We know you do all that stuff. Yeah, I mean, lately I've been writing a lot of songs, so it's like I like most people in Nashville. That's like 11am Start time. I'm like, we're starting at 9:30. Wake up. This is the perfect day. Cold plunge, get out, work out, do a little lifty poo. Maybe like a, you know, bulletproof coffee. I don't know if you've heard of that. I have. I have. Okay. Love bulletproof. I'm very adhd, so that, like, zones my brain in. Good. We like a zone. Go 9:30. Write a number one song. This is the perfect day. This is the perfect day. Yep. I'm following. Come home. We have steak and mushrooms and red wine for dinner. And I'm asleep by 9:30. That does sound like a pretty good day. That gets me fired up. Ready to. That sounds like the perfect day. Write a number one song. Cold plunge, steak and red wine. Boom, out. Have you written number one song that you feel like is a number one song recently, where you're like, ooh, this is. This is one. Yeah. Yeah. You feel it? It's coming. I feel it. Okay. Yeah. Can you give me any indication of what it's about? I. Pride. It's probably a love song. Let's be real. That's what I mean. I'm. I. I'm. I'm six years into this, and that's kind of what it comes down to for Russell Dickerson. Right? I know. I know. You know. Oh. Can you. You know what? Can you do something for me? What? You are so in love. You have a beautiful life with your wife and your kids. Can you give me some dating advice? Yeah. Yeah. Ooh. Okay. I would say. I know I'm putting you on the side. Are you already in a relationship or you're. I'm single and I'm not really dating. Okay. Well, I don't know, like, the meeting point, that's up to God. But when you do, my wife always says, Stay 10 steps behind. Okay, give me more. Because if you're the one who's like, hey, what's up? Ha. Hey. If you're, like, all up in it, then they're like. They're the one that's like backing away. But if you're 10 steps behind, then they're the one chasing you. And if they're not into it, they're not going to do it. If they are into it, they will meet you. Those 10 extra steps. I like it. Boom. That's some really good advice. There you go. But you totally stole that from your wife. I did. So that. But that's. She's the dating. She's the relationship queen. So that's shout out to Kale's there. Oh, well, I love it. Russell. Thanks for hanging out. Thank you. Oh, one more thing before we go. Sorry. I have to ask you. What is something you hope to accomplish before you die? Not music related. Did I ask you this? Am I having, like, deja vu right now? Accomplish? I didn't ask you that yet. Right. Honestly, there's so many things going through my brain. It's all like, with my kids, like, I want to have a beer with my sons when they turn 21. Like, that is one of my. That's what I'm looking forward to in 19 years. That's a long time. For a long time, boys pray for me. But that's why it's a bucket list. Yeah, I mean. I mean, that's a very silly example, but memories like that with. With my kids and my wife and like, I want to snowboard with them. I want to. All that stuff. I love that. That was a good one. Okay, now I'll let you go. You can leave. All right, cool. Bye. Thanks, guys. Don't miss the 58th annual CMAs live on ABC, Wednesday night at 8, 7 Central. All right, Morgan here with Priscilla Blog. How are you? Hey, girl. I'm good. Good to see you. Yeah, we were just hanging last week in San Antonio, KJ 97 star party. And you had showed up with a, like, totally ripped off finger. And I need. I need it. First tell me what happened and then give me an update. Okay. So yeah, my finger was like, wrapped up with like. It was actually looking way sketchier than it does right now because I finally went into the doctor, but I was using one of those mandolin things. I do not recommend them at all. And I was making zucchini lasagna and I went to slice the zucchini and sliced a good chunk of my thumb off. And like, not even like a little kind of cut. Like, it was just. Yeah. So anyway, and you showed up. Then I flied the next day to San Antonio. She was the last one on our plane. It was really funny. I was sitting on my seat and I see somebody, like, just. You could tell somebody was having, like, a rough day. She had gone through it, and it was Priscilla. Yeah. She was, like, walking onto the plane, the very last one, and she's like, I don't want to be here. Like, what is happening? No. Well, the thing. Well, it happened late that night, and I was like, do I go into the er? Like, do I not? And then I'm thinking about hopping on a plane, and I'm like, I know my finger is about to be throbbing. Flying. So it was a whole thing. But you know what? I made it to the show, and you performed and you crushed it. Thank you. And then I played the next night, and then finally I went into the doctor and they were like, it's a good thing you came in. Okay. So did you have to get stitches or anything? No. Well, there was nothing for them to stitch because I actually took, like, a chunk out. No repair. And the chunk was at home. And now I hate the word chunk, but anyways, no, what they did is they filled, like, the whole with it. Legit was like a hole in my thumb with glue. And so as it heals, they said that the glue will just dissolve and the skin will kind of form back around it. But, yeah, it was pretty. This is what you get for trying to do wifey things. I know. Because you're in your love era. Oh, my gosh. I was just trying to get wiped up, you know, I was like, I'm gonna make you some dinner. You know, you can't be doing that anymore. No. Uber Eats from now on is Olive Garden takeout. For sure. I love it. You. You do have your first love song. I know. He is my crazy. Because you're in this love era now or that, like, this was already planned and then just so happened, the cards aligned. I have been with him for a little bit, probably longer than, like, people would realize, and, you know, it's always been something that I've just really held close to me because I feel like my life is already all out there, and it's just the one thing that is nobody else's. Really. Yeah. And I don't know, I'm just, like, really happy, and I'm, like, ready to show that off. You know what I mean? And he is, like. He is the kind of guy that's worth showing off, and that's exactly what the song is. He's my man. It's like, about the guy that you're proud to be with. And it's the guy that works hard and that supports us. And, you know, it's just like Priscilla, you go to. Just keep being a rock star. You know, I'll be here waiting on you to get home. We love a supportive man. I need to know, though. I'm assuming you've seen. Because you're all over TikTok, but you've seen the trend where it's like, is that your man? And you're like, yeah. And you're, like, embarrassed of this. Oh, my God. I need to know, like, his quirk that you're like, that's my man. It's like, and I'm gonna stand beside him. That's my man. Well, he hates taking the interstate, so that's. I'm like, you know, if we go downtown to Nashville, he's taking 155. Like, he's. He's going around. He's dodging the interstate anytime he can. And I'm like, we don't have time to waste. So that is, like, the one quirk. I'm like, can we just go on the interstate? He's like, you know, we'll just. We'll ride the highway. We'll go the long way to get there. He's like, if you get on the interstate, people are bobbing and weaving, hitting cars. There's wrecks everywhere. I'm like, he kind of treats it like it's Mario Kart. He's like a good old country boy that, you know, we love it. We love it. He's scared of the interstate. I guess that everything else, he'll go full, like, head on, but not the interstate. Well, that is a quirk. And that is your man. Yes, that is my man. And I'm a stand beside him. I. What's the trend? It's like, is that your man? Yep. And I'm gonna stand beside him. Yep. I want to know if, aside from music and the cool stuff you have going on, what is something you hope to accomplish before you die? Deep question. I know. God. And it can't relate to music because, like, we already know you want to do all the things. I just hope that, like, I don't know if it's a specific thing, but, like, whenever that time comes, I just hope that I look back on my life and be like, I lived the fullest, happiest, healthiest, like, life. Like, if you can truly achieve happiness in this life, like, that is what it's all about. I feel like, you know, you're so good at doing that, though, because every time I see you, you are living it up. You are truly somebody living it up. I really do. But I think, like, so many people, like, can be, like, fake happy. You know what I mean? And, like, if you can look back and be like, I lived a freaking hell of a life like that. Yeah, I should, like, knock on wood or something like, hold on, this is getting. No. Getting sketchy. Nope. You're just putting out your manifesting. Yeah. I don't know if it's like, a specific thing that I, like, ever want to do, but I'm just like, I just want to be. Live a happy life. I love that. That's a good one. Okay. It's getting really deep in here. I'm sorry. Really deep. It's getting hot. And who wants to go skydiving? Like, not. Also, your fear isn't throbby anymore. So we are winning. That is, we are winning. We're winning. We are winning. Good to see you. The CMAs are live Wednesday, November 20th at 8, 7 Central on ABC. This podcast is supported by BetterHelp, offering licensed therapists you can connect with via video phone or chat. Here's BetterHelp head of clinical operations, Hes Yu Jo discussing who can benefit from therapy. I think a lot of people think that you're supposed to be going to therapy once you're like, having panic attacks every day. But before you get to that point, I think once you start even noticing that you feel a little bit off and you can't maintain this harmony that you once had in relationships, that could be a sign that maybe you want to go talk to somebody. There's always a benefit in talking to someone because we can all benefit from improved insight about ourselves and who we are and how we behave with other people. So if you're human, that's like a good indicator that you could benefit from talking to somebody. Find out if therapy is right for you. Visit betterhelp.com today.
