00:00Backstage right now with Mr. Chris Young.
00:02Good to see you, my friend.
00:03How's it going, guys?
00:04I have to say, I usually give you a lot of grief.
00:07I'm not going to do it today.
00:08Congratulations to the Cowboys.
00:11Hey, really sorry about Tampa Bay, man.
00:14I deserve it.
00:15This is the perfect timing.
00:17It truly is.
00:18It was the exact flip-flop of when you were making fun of me.
00:22I know.
00:23I know.
00:23And you guys lost to the Washington football team.
00:27Ouch.
00:28Well, listen.
00:28Yeah.
00:30I wanted to say, because it's always fair, I give you a lot, and I wanted to say congratulations
00:34to the Cowboys today.
00:35And obviously, that's an anomaly with Tom Brady.
00:37Yes.
00:38That's not going to happen often.
00:40Let's hope not.
00:41No, no.
00:41It won't.
00:42And more importantly, thank you for being here.
00:44I know you flew across country to be here today, and thank you so much for that.
00:48Seriously, man.
00:48No, man.
00:49Happy to be here and be hanging out with you guys, play some music for everybody tonight.
00:53It's going to be good.
00:54It's going to be a good time.
00:55So what are you going to do for everybody tonight here?
00:58I'm just going to laugh out loud.
00:59Ooh.
00:59Into the microphone.
01:00Yeah.
01:01The whole time.
01:02That's it.
01:03No, I figured I'd do like one song, but do it four times.
01:07It's like every time it gets to me, it's just Famous Friends again.
01:11I like that new Taylor Swift song that's 10 minutes long that you just put out.
01:14Oh, I haven't heard this yet.
01:15Have you ever seen that one yet?
01:15No.
01:16No spoilers.
01:17Okay.
01:18Spoiler, it's 10 minutes long.
01:19Yeah.
01:21That's awesome, man.
01:21If you're thinking of another song, you could do my Keith Whitley song that I asked you to
01:26do.
01:27I would really like it.
01:28We don't have enough songs to do covers, though.
01:30Yeah.
01:31He's got plenty of hits.
01:32It's kind of hard to do covers.
01:33You do it so good, though.
01:34Like last night, we played for like 100 minutes acoustic.
01:38Then you can work in some covers.
01:41Well, maybe if there's a little extra time.
01:43There's other people.
01:44Yeah, there's other people.
01:45Do you want to remind me?
01:46Maybe at the end.
01:47I just like move over and sit where Parker is.
01:49I was like, okay, and I'll take this one, too.
01:51Yeah.
01:52If you don't mind.
01:53That's awesome, man.
01:55I got to ask you this, because playing these theaters and you having such like, you know,
01:59a great voice and a deep voice, do you enjoy that acoustically when you're doing, you
02:04know, not only that's just acoustic guitar, but.
02:06No, no, no, no.
02:07I know what you're asking.
02:08Okay.
02:08It's weird because everybody always goes, oh, what's your favorite way to play?
02:11I was like, anywhere where people are listening.
02:13Right.
02:14So, I mean, I, you know, when I was getting started, I was playing the patio of El Chico
02:19Mexican restaurant.
02:21Yeah.
02:22Yeah.
02:22I love full band.
02:24I think there is something that's special about acoustic, but they're just different.
02:27It's just a different kind of show, different kind of performance.
02:29But I'm talking about like hearing.
02:31You're stalking about?
02:32I'm stalking.
02:34All right.
02:34Here we go.
02:36Teased him one time about the Cowboys.
02:38Now it's happening.
02:38It's actually twice you've teased him.
02:40Yeah, I have done it twice.
02:40But no, I'm talking about like, you know, hearing yourself in a theater that's designed
02:44acoustically.
02:45Yeah.
02:46I mean, I don't think they specifically designed this center for acoustic country music performances,
02:53but it's a, it is, it's different.
02:55It's just a, it's a different kind of show.
02:57And, um, you know, you love having the big video wall and full band and drums and everything
03:03going on.
03:04But sometimes it's nice just to be able to be in a, in a venue like this, strip it down
03:08and let it be simple and, uh, you know, kind of get a different take on the music.
03:13So when somebody asks you your favorite place to play besides the Mahaffey theater,
03:17anywhere in Tampa Bay or Dallas, we've already established that way.
03:22We got both of them out of the way.
03:24That's great.
03:25Well, Chris, we were so glad you were here, man.
03:26Again, thank you for being here.
03:27I know you made a long trip for us and, uh, uh, thank you for always being a good sport
03:33when we tease you.
03:34And again, congratulations.
03:35Hey, if you're going to dish it out, you got to be able to take it.
03:37It works both ways.
03:38I got to deal with that.
03:39If I'm going to say they're my team and talk about when they win, when they lose, then
03:42I got to suck it up and take it.
03:44And you heard it here.
03:44He wants people to listen tonight.
03:46It's his favorite type of crowd.
03:48No, I know you will.
03:49Chris Young, everybody coming to the stage.
