00:09a day, someone will walk up to you, tell you they are drunk, and they look like they love

00:14you.

00:15Under ten.

00:16Under ten?

00:17Under ten, yeah.

00:18People don't come up to you now with the massive hit that you have.

00:22No, it happens.

00:23Okay.

00:24I would say we're more like six or seven times a day.

00:27Okay.

00:28Oh, okay.

00:29Have you ever been a pick-up line guy yourself?

00:30Because, I mean, the duet is kind of the female pick-up line version, I mean, get right to

00:34the point.

00:35But have you ever been a pick-up line guy yourself?

00:36Have you ever needed that?

00:37I think I get nervous.

00:38Okay.

00:39No, my dad, he's got them.

00:41Okay.

00:42My dad throws up pick-up lines on any girl he's ever met.

00:46He told some girl the other day she was so pretty he couldn't hear out of his left eye.

00:49Okay.

00:50Which I don't know what that means, but...

00:52I like it.

00:53Makes you think.

00:54I like it.

00:55Conversation starter.

00:56Does your father look like you?

00:57Yeah, he's a...

00:59He looks more like an older Harrison Ford kind of thing going, I'm going more for like

01:05a Quigley Down Under kind of thing.

01:09So not just the duet, but of course, damn good day to leave.

01:12Also, you have two songs that are on fire right now.

01:15Absolute fire.

01:16That's cool.

01:17How does it feel to...

01:18That's cool.

01:19Yeah, welcome.

01:20That's fine.

01:21There's news to you.

01:22So how does it feel?

01:23I mean, two songs, people, I mean, of course they've sang songs back to you for years,

01:25but two simultaneously at the same time that are kind of going, and you're connecting

01:29kind of with two different audiences as well.

01:31Well, what's cool about having two songs that are getting played on the radio and inside

01:35the top 20, whatever they are, is you get to really see them grow every week.

01:39Every single show you play, they sing it louder and louder.

01:41I remember the first single I had was, there was this girl that was a big hit for me, and

01:44I got to watch that as it went up the chart.

01:46So that's always exciting, and you got something to look forward to every week.

01:49See, you know, as the song kind of climbs, you know, how much louder fans are singing

01:52those songs.

01:53Yeah.

01:54Why do you think it is that everybody wants you and Ella Langley to be a couple?

01:59Because me, I don't want you guys to be a couple.

02:02Like females out there, single females.

02:04You wouldn't want to do that to me.

02:05No, no, no.

02:06No offense, Ella.

02:07She doesn't want these problems.

02:08No offense, Ella.

02:09But single girls out there, I wouldn't want you to be, I want to pretend like you're just,

02:12you're ours.

02:13Well, the same reason I think that like George and Tammy and Johnny Cash and June Carter

02:17and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, it's like everybody just wants to like believe in that like couple,

02:21you know, if you can have that.

02:23Obviously, we've got two songs together that are doing really well, You Look Like You Love

02:25Me and Don't Mind If I Do, and, you know, it's a cool thing to see fans really latching

02:30on to both of us kind of at the same time.

02:33We've been on tour together.

02:34We're going back on tour together, so it's really cool to watch that kind of happen,

02:38and I'm really happy for her success, too.

02:40And speaking of couples, how are the doggies?

02:42They're good.

02:43I haven't seen a lot of Carl and Carol Ann lately.

02:45My sister and my mom send me videos all the time with them chasing the goats and pigs

02:49around, but they're hanging in there.

02:52I'm sure Carl's ready to get back on the road.

02:53He knows he's famous.

02:54I think he's missing the spotlight a little bit.

02:56They're more famous than us, for sure.

02:57I was actually hoping to meet them tonight.

03:00Everybody is.

03:01My meet and greets are just people looking at my feet to see if Carl's there.

03:03They don't even look at me anymore.

03:05Speaking of duets, though, so with the tongs being so big right now, how do you make through

03:09a show when a female is not with you?

03:12Are you going to ask Jordan Davis tonight to maybe step into that?

03:15Well, I usually put a wig on.

03:16Oh, okay.

03:17Got it.

03:18But no, I mean, I usually don't have Jordan Davis at my disposal either.

03:21That's so true.

03:22But I've gotten some fans out of the crowd.

03:25That goes one of two ways.

03:26Sometimes it's really good, and sometimes it's not.

03:30I think probably the best fan step in we had was in Australia the other day.

03:34We had a couple of girls get up, and they just stole the show.

03:38Did you do a shoeie?

03:39I did.

03:40Oh.

03:41A clean boot?

03:42I did a clean boot, and I put a cup in the boot.

03:44Oh, okay.

03:45So I cheated.

03:46Cheater.

03:47So you're doing the kosher shoeie.

03:48It was still gross, though.

03:49It's something I'm not drinking out of coffee out of a boot at home now.

03:52I'm not into it.

03:53Well, speaking of drinking, you're running a bar.

03:56A drinker.

03:57No.

03:58You're an alcoholic.

03:59No.

04:00How about being a part of a bar now?

04:01Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

04:02That's what you were talking about.

04:03Yeah, yeah.

04:04That's what I was talking about.

04:05No, that's cool.

04:06I forgot about that, too.

04:07That's cool.

04:08You know, I got a lot of good stuff going on right now.

04:09You do.

04:10Welcome.

04:11You do.

04:12You can just call us every morning.

04:13We'll make you all the good things in life.

04:14We'll make you feel good every morning.

04:15Yeah, thank y'all.

04:17I thought a place called The Duck Blind would be somewhere I'd like to go hang out.

04:21It's been fun to have that business with a buddy of mine in Nashville.

04:28That building is where I met a lot of people I have relationships with now, songwriters

04:31and other artists.

04:32It's cool to kind of have that place and watch some new up-and-coming guys and girls go in

04:36there and play.

04:37Yeah.

04:38You had some biggies in there, too.

04:39You and Posty slinging some drinks not too long ago, maybe working on some stuff together,

04:43too?

04:44We're just bartending together.

04:46Oh, okay.

04:47Just for now, though.

04:48Then we're going to remake the movie Cocktails.

04:49Oh, okay.

04:50Which one is Tom Cruise?

04:51Duh.

04:52Next question, please.

04:53All right, well, we'll let you hit the stage.

04:56We are live backstage, Odyssey and Kiss Country Stars and Strings with Riley Greene.

04:59Riley, thank you, buddy.

05:00Appreciate it.
