00:00So honestly, what good timing, because I was going to talk to you, obviously, about

00:04Jelly's behind us.

00:06Jelly's right behind us.

00:07Because that's Stagecoach.

00:08He's doing the Jelly thing.

00:10He's doing the Jelly thing.

00:10So tell me about how it was to put out this song that's had such a great reaction

00:14and then work with a guy that's a legend himself already.

00:17I was saying, it was one thing to release the song, but what has been, like, even more

00:22just blown me away is, like, now getting to call Jelly, like, a brother, a friend.

00:27And, man, he's shared so much wisdom with me, and he's been really sweet about how I've

00:33been able to impact him.

00:34And it's like, yeah, it's been a really cool, just unifying thing, and, like, we've been

00:40able to sharpen each other.

00:41And then to have a song that's, like, blessing millions and millions of people and giving

00:46people faith and, like, strength to keep carrying on and kind of blend some worlds together,

00:53it's been awesome.

00:55I'm just stoked I get to call him a brother now.

00:56Yeah, I mean, Stoked, by the way, is 16 weeks on our Christian charts, like, up at the top

01:02of the charts.

01:03So, like, how does it feel that not only is the song a great song, but it's caring with

01:07people?

01:07Like, it's a message that is sticking.

01:09Yeah.

01:10Man, it's like, I keep hearing crazy stories.

01:13There's this kid that he's been battling cancer, like, eight years old, and it's become

01:16his fight song.

01:18And they made him, like, the face of, like, the children's, like, division in the hospital.

01:23And he's in his, like, wheelchair, and he's got boxing gloves on, because we had that in,

01:27like, a music video.

01:28And he's just, like, that's become his song.

01:31And I'm like, dude, there's not a greater honor than, like, giving people a fight song,

01:34you know, to get through life in the hardest moments, man.

01:37So, Jellick!

01:38Jellick!

01:39What up?

01:40What's up, dog?

01:42What's up, baby?

01:43Are y'all rolling right now?

01:44We are rolling.

01:45Can you see me on here?

01:46I want to tell y'all a story.

01:47Tell us a story real quick.

01:48Brandon Lake is one of the best people I've ever met, but he's the worst special guest

01:52I've ever had.

01:54Why the worst?

01:55Why?

01:55He's my special guest tonight, and I would say I'm blowing it by telling you, but he's

01:59been hanging out out there, watching shows, and taking pictures with me for two days

02:02straight.

02:02This is my first time.

02:03Let him.

02:04He was here yesterday like a fan.

02:06He wants to feel like a superstar.

02:07I would get pictures sent to my email all day going, why is Brandon Lake here?

02:11I thought he was your surprise guest.

02:13I was like, there's no surprise.

02:14There's no surprise.

02:15He's here.

02:15Everybody's seen him.

02:16We still have about 110,000 people that don't know I'm here, so it'll be a surprise to somebody,

02:21but man.

02:24You're a busy man, man.

02:25Thanks for coming and hanging out with us.

02:26I love this guy, dude.

02:27Yeah, he's great.

02:28Proud of you, brother.

02:28How does it feel to be your first stage coach?

02:30Absolutely.

02:30I'm not trying to take your job.

02:31I'm sorry.

02:32You're killing it, though.

02:32You can write a song again, too.

02:33That was great.

02:33I was talking about you anyways.

02:34It's mind-blowing.

02:35Stoked to be here.

02:36The energy's insane.

02:38Cannot wait for tonight.

02:39Not that I'm popping up or anything.

02:42Well, yeah.

02:42You're just here to see the show.

02:44God, I want to hit you.

02:46Thanks, Jelly.

02:47Thanks, man.

02:48I'll see you in a minute.

02:49Yeah, yeah.

02:49I'll chat.

02:50Good to see you, bro.

02:50Love you, too.

02:52Love you, Bill Boyd.

02:55And I mean, that was great.

02:57Of course.

02:57That's stage coach.

02:58And that's who he is right there.

03:00Like, just such a pro.

03:01And when you've had, like, honestly, you're a little spoiled.

03:03Because having a guy like that on your team is amazing.

03:06But have you thought of, like, who else you would collaborate with?

03:09Is there somebody you're looking forward to, like, ooh, I got my eye on this person?

03:13Yeah.

03:13I mean, I think for me, like, it's the collaborations aren't, like, a fame grab.

03:18Or, like, let me try to collaborate with somebody that has a bigger platform for me so that I can.

03:24Like, it's never been about.

03:25It's been about relationship.

03:26And I've just really been paying attention to, like, who God's brought my way.

03:30Who I've allowed me to meet.

03:32And I just got to meet and happened to find out that Carrie Underwood is a big fan.

03:36And, like, on American Idol, she's, like, Brandon Lakes is stapled in my home, in our car.

03:41So, I'm, like, it just feels natural that, like, oh, maybe we should write something that kind of blends our worlds and blesses a lot of people.

03:48Luke Bryant was such a bro.

03:50We, like, had a special moment.

03:51That's my number one favorite country artist out there.

03:53Gosh, love him.

03:54Obviously, there's, like, my dream collab is Chris Stapleton.

03:58I don't have any relationship there.

03:59But I just, like, golly.

04:00But we're putting out into the universe.

04:02That's what we're doing.

04:03Yeah, we're going to manifest that to happen.

04:06But, yeah, there's so many, man.

04:08Honestly, I just try to write the next song.

04:11And then it's, like, you know, who does it sound like and who would it fit, you know?

04:16And so, yeah, I'm excited for whatever's ahead, you know?

04:19Dude, I'm excited for you.

04:21Thanks for taking the time to hang out with Billboard.

04:23How about that?

04:24I got some cool features on this upcoming record, too, that people might not expect.

04:28It's called King of Hearts.

04:28It drops June 13th.

04:30All right, June 13th.

04:31Tickets are live for my King of Hearts tour.

04:33Arenas all over the country.

04:34Some are already sold out in two days.

04:36Yes.

04:36But got some really dope features on it.

04:39And one actual gospel goat that is on the record.

04:44Gospel goat?

04:44Gospel goat.

04:45You're talking to a gospel guy right here now.

04:47Well, she is the goat.

04:48Oh, I already know who you're talking about, I feel like.

04:50I already know.

04:51I already know.

04:51It's like two letters, you know?

04:54Yes, that, that.

04:55So, yeah, really, really stoked and honored to be here, man.

04:58Cool.

04:59June 13th.

05:00Check them out.
