00:00Ladies and gentlemen, on the phone right now is a duo that are Grammy winners, ACM winners, CMA winners, American Music Award winners.

00:06They've won it all.

00:07Everything.

00:08Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, Dan and Shane.

00:09Dan and Shane.

00:11Hello.

00:12What's happening, guys?

00:13Not too much, man.

00:14Just hanging out here in Tampa.

00:15And I appreciate you so much dropping this song on my birthday, this song called You.

00:21It's very nice of you.

00:22Is it your birthday today?

00:23What was yesterday, but how could you forget?

00:25Happy birthday.

00:27Yeah.

00:27Come on, dude.

00:28Dan, you can cheat, by the way, too.

00:30We're Facebook friends.

00:31I should have told you.

00:32I know.

00:33Honestly, I would have definitely texted you.

00:35I look at it like, you know, around lunchtime when I'm hanging out.

00:37I always scroll there and just see whose birthday it is.

00:39Right.

00:39I definitely would have hollered at you.

00:40I'm still going to do that anyways.

00:41All right.

00:42Very cool.

00:42Don't worry about it.

00:43Don't worry about it, Shay.

00:44I don't expect anything.

00:46I'll do a photo shoot for you.

00:47A photo shoot for me.

00:49Thank you so much.

00:49A photo shoot.

00:50Well, boys, not only do you get a song out called You, we have been just crushing this Kenny Chesney tour,

00:55and I know everybody's been asking you about it.

00:57But what is something you didn't expect about this tour that you're like, oh, my gosh,

01:02this is different than any tour I've ever been on?

01:04It's all been downhill since Tampa, by the way.

01:06First show of the tour, set the bar high.

01:08It's all been downhill.

01:09No, it's been incredible, man.

01:10Honestly, Kenny's crew is unbelievable.

01:13They've been doing it for so long, and they've got the setup dialed.

01:15They've got, like, a bar on stage.

01:17You know, going on stage in front of a stadium, you would expect, like, uptight, high-pressure kind of thing.

01:21His crew, they're back there flipping burgers, mixing drinks, like, taking shots before the show.

01:26It's a whole vibe, man.

01:27It's like summer camp out there, and there's a reason why people love being out on the road with Kenny.

01:32He treats them great, and it's just such a fun time every weekend.

01:35We're on, like, the easiest summer schedule ever, one show a week, and then we come back to Nashville and hang out.

01:40So it's been a blast, and I'm going to be really sad when it's over.

01:43We're nearing the end.

01:45The last show is the end of August, and, yeah, man, I'm getting a little sad already.

01:49Well, you guys definitely kicked it off here at Ray J, and let me ask Shay something.

01:53Shay, as far as, like, singing in a stadium versus, like, an arena that you guys do, is that harder for you or harder for you guys?

01:59Like, acoustically, I'm talking about.

02:01Yeah, I mean, it's definitely different depending on what, you know, what stadium you're playing.

02:05A lot of these have been, a couple of them have been kind of inside stadiums, which is kind of nuts,

02:09because, I mean, you can hear yourself seven seconds later, you're hearing what you're saying and singing.

02:14So it can definitely be a challenge.

02:15Some of those places are so big that the sound just kind of swirls around.

02:19So I know you guys are pretty good friends with J.R.

02:21I'm just filling in for Lana this week, and this is the first week J.R. and I have actually ever worked together.

02:27So do you have any good stories about J.R. that I need to know about?

02:30Oh, my goodness.

02:31You could probably just search our name and his name together on YouTube and find some pretty good stuff.

02:35We go way back with J.R.

02:37Tailgater.

02:38We actually used that photo to promote this interview.

02:46Amazing.

02:47We went through a McDonald's drive-thru once, and, yeah, we did something crazy.

02:51You can ask J.R. about that.

02:52Yeah, we did a thing called coning, where they hand a cone to you, and then you just grab it from the top of the cone.

02:57There you go.

02:58Thank you very much.

02:59You make zero, you don't say anything to them.

03:01You just grab it, and you just move along.

03:02That was interesting.

03:04Did we do that just for fun?

03:05I feel like it wasn't even like a bit to get content on social media.

03:08We just did it.

03:09We did film it, but it was not planned.

03:14We were singing songs or whatever, and then all of a sudden you're like, hey, let's go through McDonald's and do some coning.

03:18And I had no idea what it was.

03:20And so we did it.

03:21And then Shay ate the thing afterwards.

03:25I'll tell you what.

03:26It was delicious.

03:26You spent 99 cents on a cone.

03:27You're not going to let that thing go to work.

03:28You're not going to waste this.

03:29Yeah, do it.

03:30Well, boys, you absolutely crushed it when we saw you here at Ray J.

03:33You guys continue to crush it, and that's why you guys get voted the duo of the year many times over.

03:38The new song is called You.

03:40Thank you for doing it on my birthday.

03:41I appreciate you guys, and you guys have a great time.

03:43I can't wait to see you soon.

03:45I love you guys, man.

03:46Happy birthday, brother.

03:46I will text you here in a little bit once I see it on Facebook and make sure you're not lying to us.

03:52Love to you and the family, guys.

03:53See you.

03:53See you, bud.

03:54See you, bud.
