These are my favorite type of hoodie that we've ever used,
00:00:37.560

Today's guest made me feel welcome when I got here to Tennessee.
00:01:03.820
He's arguably the most popular musician on the planet.
00:01:22.560
Today's guest is one-of-a-kind Mr. Morgan Wallace.
00:02:12.680
That's been going on for the last few weeks now,
00:14:28.420
if it seems like it's like a dick measuring contest out there a lot.
00:14:34.320
And I think he had brought a lot of that mindset to Nashville,
00:14:46.680
and I would give him a hard time when he would be acting like that.
00:14:57.820
I think that she probably had a cocktail or two and invited me to their wedding.
00:15:33.840
I showed up about an hour before I was supposed to start and left before it was over.
00:16:05.800
and it didn't make me want to get to know him more.
00:16:07.740
Cause it was like just cutting through to bullshit.
00:16:14.180
which I think is probably what makes him a good songwriter too.
00:16:34.160
it's nice to have another person in the room who will tell you straight up,
00:16:41.460
people sometimes don't check you the way they should,
00:16:44.180
they'll just let you rock with it and you know,
00:17:02.580
he's been like a manager of like some of the most popular comedians over time.
00:17:10.700
going back to kind of what you said earlier about like,
00:17:16.360
That would have been great an album or two ago.
00:17:22.880
You can't expect them to know what's in your head and what you're going to do next.
00:17:26.440
And they only have like the footprints that they've seen you leave so far make that they can even judge on.
00:17:40.440
a lot of them don't even make it to me because it gets snipped before it even gets to me,
00:17:59.800
Is he just taking a lot of mushrooms or something?
00:18:07.740
If you try to hide that you're evolving or that you're growing,
00:18:18.700
fit your current feet back in your old footprints.
00:18:20.620
And I just thought it was interesting to hear somebody say that I'd never really thought about.
00:18:35.100
You don't have to come out and do like a Mozart style.
00:18:39.360
I had plenty of trap beats and stuff like that.
00:18:49.160
So just like certain things that you can still get that same swag or that same,
00:18:52.980
you can accomplish certain things without doing the same exact thing.
00:18:56.720
So it's just simple stuff like that in some cases.
00:18:59.640
Do you feel like you've always had a pretty good,
00:19:03.840
is that something that you think you really have?
00:19:08.260
I feel like I can tell when something's getting tired,
00:19:22.180
that I've been around for the last 10 years who have,
00:19:38.000
cause I've always been like a do it yourself kind of guy.
00:19:42.900
but then recently I've had to like realize I need help more.
00:19:51.740
Like I can't always butt up against every wall,
00:20:05.400
I just started noticing it's getting a little bit better and it's,
00:20:27.440
Cause I played sports and stuff so much growing up,
00:20:29.900
I enjoy the camaraderie of making music with my buddies and doing all that
00:20:46.660
it doesn't necessarily permeate throughout my entire life.
00:20:57.140
There'll be a thousand people out there with rope and I'll be like,
00:21:24.120
you couldn't travel around town without seeing every guy at a stoplight
00:21:39.480
we're almost where you become too much for you.
00:21:58.680
you were on edge the whole time because you thought you might.
00:22:26.060
you can't really go to a bar anymore because there'd be too much hassle and it's probably
00:22:52.220
I ain't been in a bar since the last time I was in a bar.
00:23:24.460
it's the right one kitchen in the second one right there with the guy and the lady in the truck.
00:23:32.160
change it to whiskey and have Morgan Wallen sing it.
00:23:40.360
start it back over and just turn it up a little bit.
00:23:44.660
I woke up in the morning to crack myself a beer,
00:23:49.400
then went down to the kitchen to grab myself a beer.
00:24:02.980
So now I definitely need to go grab another beer or two or three so I can start thinking clear.

I've been telling you about Moon Pay for a while now,
00:26:29.420
Some people say that Moon Pay is the PayPal of crypto.
00:27:03.420
while Moon Pay makes buying crypto straightforward,
00:35:49.880
planting and getting all the agriculture right.
00:36:05.460
So that's pretty much what it's geared towards.
00:36:13.120
And then we've just been adding a lot of the agriculture
00:36:16.220
and all that stuff to try to make it a better deer farm.
00:36:26.400
it's always going to be challenging when deer hunting,
00:36:29.200
because you only get to kill two bucks in a season,
00:36:42.860
you know that there's a better deer in the area
00:36:45.980
or you believe there's a better deer in the area,
00:37:00.880
You're not out there with a handgun or nothing.
00:37:17.780
and preferably the type of food that they want,
00:37:20.920
then you're going to keep those deer on your farm
00:37:23.760
they don't need to leave to go find either one of those.
00:37:50.100
if your deer walks across to their property line,
00:38:27.980
you're a kid and you think it was a nice reindeer call.
00:38:43.700
he's just got a lot of new interest and stuff this year.
00:38:48.840
this past weekend and I was working on my turkey call just in my mouth,
00:39:03.800
Is there moments where you see him learn something and you almost see him learn it?
00:39:09.680
I've been working on him on how to catch and stuff,
00:39:27.840
I'll just put my headphones in and just start shooting for like 30 minutes.
00:39:46.280
it's just like just seeing those things progress in such a short period of time is cool.
00:39:50.800
Does it make you have a different appreciation for your own dad?
00:40:09.460
And I think he was kind of ridiculous when he was that,
00:40:22.840
you don't believe anything your parents say when you're that age.
00:40:33.060
it was not physically possible to think that they could be right.
00:40:39.140
these two people that love me and care about me and raised me this far.
00:40:55.580
once I think I got moved down here to Nashville,
00:41:08.200
I think just having that space and then just being able to,
00:41:17.800
maybe you could have went about it a little different or whatever.
00:41:22.540
I just got spending time with my mom is like a lot of my life.
00:41:25.360
I'm waiting for my mom to like show me certain attention or affection or something.
00:41:30.420
we're watching at the Opry and she went there like 40 years ago or something,
00:41:39.020
but I just reached over and grabbed my mom's hand,
00:41:46.960
let me just be an adult and almost act like I'm the parent,
00:41:59.480
But then I just grabbed her hand and then we just watched it together.
00:42:03.620
it was a little moment for me where I was like,
00:42:13.560
or just to get my mom a hug while we're sitting there,
00:42:27.040
So it was more of just getting past that phase in my life.
00:42:37.320
I don't have any sort of hard feelings towards it.
00:43:08.500
bribing me with all these hamburgers and stuff.
00:43:34.140
I kind of had ridden dirt bikes and stuff a little bit,
00:43:36.840
enough to understand my way around a bike already.
00:44:16.780
Has anybody ever had a motorbike that has that on it?
00:44:21.080
I'm surprised I don't have that on every vehicle I've got.
00:44:45.300
You just thinking about what you got to do on that bike.
00:44:52.760
I physically can't do anything else other than,
00:44:59.740
you'll be riding and then all of a sudden it's five hours have gone by and
00:45:17.300
I'm bad at just like being in motion and having to think at the same time.
00:45:30.400
I think you can just be in the back of the line then.
00:45:40.620
You can be in the middle because you're protected in the back.
00:46:13.140
But we mostly just ride at least in groups of two.
00:46:45.680
You guys have a lot of characters in our family.
00:46:53.220
And then just different people you would tell me and then getting to meet your dad.
00:47:09.980
he'll cast over there and put a frog top on there.
00:48:05.620
he should have his own YouTube channel or something.
00:48:09.820
and this is the things that happen to that guy.
00:48:21.840
The world deserves to share in your pain that you're dealing with right now.
00:48:26.280
Because the things that happen to him are just unbelievable,
00:48:49.220
maybe he'll take this and he'll watch this clip and go start his channel,
00:49:04.420
You couldn't find a guy that's more perfect for that.
00:49:07.100
Has there been something nice that you kind of got yourself as a gift that you started,
00:49:21.060
I used to be probably a little more frugal than I am right now.
00:49:33.860
I'm trying to think if there's anything that I was just really splurged out on.
00:49:38.600
I got a couple of watches and just things like that,
00:49:47.240
I don't feel like I'm over the top big spender guy.
00:50:03.140
this thing had a lot more than 12,000 miles on it.
00:50:27.500
sometimes Google won't let you look at them anymore.
