Are we rolling right now? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to episode 199, I believe, right?
190.
One ninety three. Episode 199, which we are so close.
So, 194 or 194 or 195? I'm pretty sure it's one 93. 93 or 94? I was really hoping this would be a clean.
Yeah, exactly.
This is 193.
So everything I said in the beginning is correct.
This is episode 193 of Bustin with the Boys.
We have an outstanding podcast for you guys today.
We have a podcast with two of our great friends and staples of Nashville, Tennessee, Mr. Jellyroll and Ernest K.
But before we get into that episode, we need to talk to you about the most durable, reliable vehicle on the road.
Playoff pictures are starting to emerge.
Some shaky for some teams.
some not so shicky for others.
But one team has already won at all.
That team is Chevy, and its star player
is the Silverado, a truck with unstoppable
grit and determination.
According to JD Power,
Chevy trucks have earned more new
vehicle quality awards than any other
brand, and that's some serious hardware.
Do us a favor. Head over to Chevy.com
to learn more about the Silverado,
which is as strong and dependable as the
people who drive them. And if you're thinking about that
hardware and what you want to do,
you can go to
you can visit jdpower.com
slash awards for all their award information
listen
that was a good ad read by the way
thanks buddy I don't want to say that
a little bit of ad lib in there too
which I usually
which that's what I was impressed with the most
is when you looked away from the screen
you said a couple things and for those who are interested in the awards
you go back and then the Severado
the spirit determination
reading is definitely a thing that I am
I'm working at I'm working on yes we got to
we gotta stop with the
normalized dude's
typing dudes. Yeah. And we gotta stop with the, like, I'm in the box of a bad reader.
Like, maybe at one point in time. Yeah, the box is open, dude. And there's a ladder.
and I'm about to get out of that thing. I'm about to crawl out of there, dude. This podcast reminds
me a lot of the Midland podcast. There's a lot of chaos going on at times. There was definitely
more organization in it, though. Yeah, I think it's cleaner. Like, you know, Byrne and I would talk
back and forth when you and Jellie were talking back and forth at times, but not as, not near as
chaotic as, Midland stuff. But it's just a good old fashion. Like, I think it's their, what,
fourth or fifth time being on the pot. Yeah. They have got to
be the ones that come on the pod the most. And it's, I mean, when you come on that many times
in the chemistry, you're in for a good little deal here, boys and girls. You are going to really
enjoy yourself. And one thing I'll like listen to all the two that I absolutely love is just the
audiences and fan base is like, knowing that Jelly's audience fucks with us. Yeah, that's cool.
It's just, it's super fucking cool, man. And I know like a lot of people, they listen to Jelly stuff
now because they're like, yo, I was listening to him on the pot. I didn't know he was like that.
Like it's just, we talk about it.
Trust me, we give enough flowers around on this podcast,
but it's proud of Jelly, dude.
Right.
And I don't know if we can do this on the YouTube right now,
but if you guys could pop up the new songs that Ernest is releasing,
I think he just released three new singles.
He has three new singles coming out.
He plugged those a couple of times.
I would love to give him that.
And then obviously, Jelly, he just released the song,
She, and he had a song, he sent to both of us that is really good.
I don't know if it's out yet.
I think it's called something about prayers.
but songs are fire
both those dudes are fucking on fire
in the music industry
could not be more proud of them
as friends watching them succeed
it's been incredible
yeah
we'll get into the podcast
it's a nice what
two and a half hour podcast
you guys are in for
yeah this uh I said at the end of the episode
but this is next week
is gonna be the best of
all the boys were off

There is a fucking big.
In this fucking bus for us, dude,
because we have a big fucking 223 coming up.
It's going to be amazing.
It's going to be fucking amazing.
And we, like we say it all the time,
but it can never be said enough.
The appreciation we have for you guys listening to us,
tuning in every single week.
Bro, I was in L.A. yesterday
watching the Titans with the Titans.
And people are out there with the fucking bus flag
out there yelling, the boy screaming, dude.
Screaming.
The little clips that the reporters had on you,
you said, you just hear it in the background.
Bro, they just, they just fucking rolled.
They just fucking rolled. It's amazing.
It's cool, man.
So thank you to you guys.
I hope you guys have an incredible holiday season.
With our whistle pig bus and bourbon.
Yeah, absolutely.
And, oh, do we even talk about that?
We went and did that day tour.
where we went to three liquor stores.
Oh, yeah.
We haven't even talked about that because that happened.
Yeah, there's a vlog coming out this week.
We went, yeah, we went to three liquor stores.
Sold out at all three.
I'll get into it right now.
We sold out at all three fucking spots.
We had no fucking idea.
We had no idea.
We legit went into the first one in Coolest Springs thinking, damn.
Hang on a vlog coming out.
Vlogs coming out.
Yeah.
You see the vlog.
Sold that at all three.
But, yeah, they stole that at all three.
Those shit little people there was fucking awesome, dude.
It was fucking awesome.
It was dope.
And if you can get this shit, get the,
Get the fucking whiskey.
Enjoy the episode.
But get the whiskey, dude.
Because it's fucking elite.
It's elite.
You want to do a shot right now?
I'll take it sway.
Oh.
I love that noise.
Oh, God.
You are now entering Nirvana.
I don't even know what Nirvana means.
Sounds nice.
When you buy, do we have a, are we doing a whiskey?
I mean, when you drink our bus and bourbon,
you're going to taste a little heat up front.
Did you not?
I had a little heat up front.
And these boys have heard me verse this enough.
You're going to taste a little heat up front and very smooth going down your throat.
Again, think of a hammock in the backyard on a Sunday afternoon.
Yep.
And it's going to finish warmly.
It's probably somewhere right now.
Right on the top of your gut.
And it is so, dude, it's a lovely experience.
And that nervousness you get in the beginning makes that ending amplified.
Yeah.
Two times, three times.
It's incredible, dude.
Let's get into the episode just a little bit Bloss, and then we'll run this game time.
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
You guys look fantastic on that couch, by the way.
I feel really good about it, actually.
What's in that?
Just a bunch of lemons.
Okay, I was like, that doesn't look like water.
That looks like creek water.
A little lemon?
He's got a similar cat, so.
A bunch of lemons.
When you say a bunch of lemons, is it like tadpoles in there?
It's a lot of lemon.
Well, we got a lot of lemon on them.
It's a lot of lemon, dude.
It's a lot of lemons, too.
I tried to think of something else.
I was like, that's a lot of, dude, listen.
I know I say it every time.
You better not give us flowers right now.
But dude, God damn, this thing.
Dude, I mean, this place, it looks like a garage.
Like, you know, but like for fucking alcoholic frat kids or something.
Yeah.
But it felt like real garagogy, though.
You know what I'm saying?
Like when you walk in, you're like, like mechanics was back there working,
except for us fucking all your misfit friends editing videos,
playing video games in the front.
There's an entire pomade stand.
It's fucking wild out here, dog.
We need to spend more time talking about what's half.
happening off the bus.
What are we talking about?
Have you not looked over there?
What's the last time you were here?
Oh, yeah.
No, no.
When's the last time you were here?
With me, right?
Yeah, it was when the three of us did it.
Yeah, it's like, every time I come here, I'm like,
they've got bigger building space, more shit.
Yeah.
This is almost a retail space at this point.
Getting close on a little.
I appreciate the flowers.
I like come with the fucking bag, son.
You know, jelly comes cracked anytime he gets flowers.
He's very good at giving flowers.
He is.
He is.
You all deserve it.
He said a palm maid station.
I don't know what a pomade station is.
Me neither.
But I'm in my head.
I'm like, damn, we got one of those.
I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Palm mate's fuck, dude.
Last week, Taylor's shout-out,
no free shout-out of the week was to you.
Yeah.
Taylor threw some very good flowers to the boy.
I did, buddy.
I did.
I guess we can go to that right now because you had,
not only yourself selling out Bridgettown Arena,
but you had all the boys out there too.
Riley Green.
Earn was there.
Who else came out?
Chris Young.
Chris Young.
Sam Hunt.
Sam Hunt.
And Low Key, I don't know.
Sam Hunt, but I feel like we're always one person removed.
Yeah.
I feel like Sam really doesn't do much.
Like he doesn't, he keeps to himself and he does his own thing.
So you guys, you got a lot of respect to this town.
Damn, you got Sam?
I was like, yeah.
Yeah, dude.
And you know what's even crazy?
He came the day after his birthday.
Really?
He showed up to rehearse that day on his birthday.
I was like, this is wow.
That is crazy.
Yeah, because I'm not doing nothing on my birthday, but drinking.
Yeah, yeah.
And so in my shadow, I don't know if he shouted.
I was like, when we went, we were on the side,
stage where you first went up and
you sang, I think you went hard on three
songs right away like bang, bang, bang, bang.
We were all three together.
Will and I were standing there like jaws on the floor
like, oh my gosh.
We're going crazy.
I feel like it was a Bieber concert.
It was wild, bro.
Wild.
Oh, God.
It's Jelly, Roe.
So you finish those three songs, dude, and then you
like take a moment.
You like sat there and you like look down
and the people start going jelly, jelly.
15,000 people fucking losing their minds.
You know we call that?
You look.
up. Garthing. That's Garthing? Yeah, Garthing.
Was Garth always do that? I don't know, but I'll take it.
Garth will go in there and soak it up and the people will give it to him for five to ten minutes.
Oh, that's how. Morgan Garthed a few times this past year. He's just walking around, like,
then you go to the other side and go, then you raise the mic like you're going to say something,
don't. And you lose it all over again. Is that what you were doing?
I didn't think of it then. You were soaking it up for sure. You were soaking that shit in, huh?
Because my first show of 2022 was at an 800-cap club in Buffalo.
That was how I started my year.
And my last show was at the Bridgestone Arena.
So you're just having a moment where you're like, what the fuck happened this year?
Like, dude, let's talk about this.
I came on this bus two years ago before the deal was signed
because we talked about a little bit on the podcast.
And then afterwards, we spent some real time out there like,
boys, I'm really fixing a sign a deal.
Yeah.
Lixen for the moon here.
Me and Ernest got this song.
I played y'all son of a sinner.
You remember all this happened?
It was two fucking years ago.
Because I sat back and watched that podcast the other day
Just to kind of see where I was in my life then
I was like, holy shit
From that to the bridgestone
It was probably fucking the wildest stretch ever, dude
It was unreal.
I cried like a baby
Right on the stage like Michael Jordan meme
Just fucking bald
I was like there's 15,000 people here
There were thousands of people outside
That just showed up on a whim
Like they were gonna find a ticket
Like the fucking 90s dude
Would be out there scalping $20 or something
Why are fucking nuts dude?
It was a totally different thing
I mean in your home city dude
Like hometown
I remember.
It was a real crowd.
It was like a real crowd of real people all across the board.
I didn't mean to cut you off.
Okay.
But like I was saying yesterday, too, bro, like every walk of life was in there, singing every word.
And people that have been rocking with you since 2010, 2011, they were all in there.
Half of them backstage with us.
And then people that just got turned on the jelly roll like three months ago, four months ago.
And they buy into it so fast because it's so authentic.
And that's what I said to folks.
that night, too, was, you say it every night on stage.
I make music for real people to go through real shit, right?
Real music for real people to go through real shit.
And that's quite the blanket of people that can relate to that and, like, you know, have gone through shit.
If we had a locker room, that would be, my studio was a locker room, that would be the quote.
Yeah, you tap it before you go out.
Real music, real people, real shit.
You know what I mean?
Like, that would be the quote.
Yeah.
That's been my mission statement from day one.
What he said was the real thing.
We'll talk about real inside baseball here, boys.
The fact it was a real sellout.
Like, it's A-List country music artist in this town that have to pay for that room.
What does that mean to paper that room?
It's like when you give away 3,000 tickets for $10 or you let the radio station give away
$5,600 tickets, like, you know what I mean?
Like, you just like you call companies like Pinnacle Bank and as a good foot forward.
You're like, hey, we want to give you 25 tickets to the insert country celebrity here.
show because you can't, you don't want to,
everybody comes in a Nashville show.
Any genre, but this is like
we say, it's like a tale of two Nashvilles, right?
Like, for the business side,
people come to Nashville to see a show,
like you would go to New York to see a show or L.A.,
like business people like record labels and radio
and all these partners, like all these, you know,
people that work with you are all coming to Nashville.
Like, oh, we want to go see such and such in Nashville.
They're like, well, fuck, we can't let them find out
that you only sold 7,000 tickets.
we got to find a way to get 4,000 people in this motherfucker, you know what I'm saying?
We've got to paper the room.
4,000 extra, yeah.
That is a wild fucking deal.
And, like, when we sat here the first time in the shed in the back of an abandoned church,
you were literally telling me how you watched the Music City miracle from Juvie.
Yes.
And now you're fucking selling out of a bridge zone arena.
Like, that's the most wild shit to comprehend ever.
Like, you're literally living in a world where, like, children, like, Will and I grew up,
dreaming about playing football.
People grow up wanting to do something extraordinary.
And you've truly done something extraordinary.
Regardless, let's say it all ends right now.
And everything shuts down.
Everyone goes, hey, Jellie, we were like, it's over for you.
Right.
You've won the game.
Like, you've won it, dude.
No, 100%.
And it's incredible.
No, it's fucking unreal.
Yeah, I was going to say,
I don't know if Taylor was just having like a journalist moment there,
but I was like, what a segue.
Watching the music music music from juvenile.
We gave all the money to juvenile.
That's wild.
Every single penny.
Every penny, dude.
That's incredible, bro.
I don't know if I'm allowed to say the number,
but Live Nation,
who has been a great with us this year,
is putting up a crazy amount of money with it.
That's awesome.
I wish I could save the number,
and if I can, I'll shoot it to y'all in post,
but it's insane.
I couldn't believe it.
Because they were like,
we want to do something to show them
that we believe in the cause
and that we think him helping at-risk youth is really cool.
And if he's really going to give up all this money,
we want to help.
I mean, we're talking about an impact, too.
Think about it.
So now it's a double impact.
Like the whole city's there, it's a moment.
It's fucking, it was like the prom I never had.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah.
The homecoming.
You know, it was like, you know,
you're up to just all that's going through.
And then you're like, dude, I'm actually going to give back to that same facility
that I watched the Music City miracle from.
Like, I'm going to give right.
Because the week of the show, so we're shooting a Hulu documentary right now.
I don't know if I'm allowed to say it,
but fuck it.
I always talk shit up with the boy.
boys. It'll be on Hulu next year, God willing. And the week before the show, they took me back
to the juvenile to my old cell to go see the cell that I was in for like those 16, 17 months, dude.
And the best part was the, I only agreed to do it if it wasn't on camera. I was like, I don't
want to do that for camera. Like, I need to go in there and feel that myself. You know what I mean?
I've been talking to the kids. I've been working with juvenile for years just quietly.
Yeah. You know what I mean? I'm not the guy that goes and takes the picture with the $5,000 check.
Yeah.
The only reason I did the publicity of it for the Bridgestone was I was hoping to create awareness to the cause.
Somebody gave me perspective about charity.
They were like, hey, man, it's not about getting credit for it.
It's about you pointing to something people don't think about.
And how many people think about the kids, you know, we haven't fed them on Thanksgiving.
Don't anybody think about them kids on Thanksgiving.
It's just not shit you think about.
Right.
There was a 13-year-old kid in there away from his family on Thanksgiving for burglary.
Sad, man.
You know what I mean?
Just shit.
But, man, I walked in that cell, Taylor.
I didn't even cry.
I was just so filled with pride.
I never felt the feeling of, like, proud.
I've never been proud of myself or anything, ever.
I've been mostly disgusted with myself 90% of my life.
You know what I'm saying?
You ought to be proud of yourself,
and you're like, I'm going to build a studio right here in this fucking facility,
like a big boy joint.
I'm going to build one for an aftercare program.
We're fixing to get with Robert Sherrill and Impact Youth Outreach.
They'll have an aftercare program for kids,
aftercare counselors, trade work.
We're going to try to bring barber colleges to the stuff next year.
I mean, I got like a five-year plan to put like $40 million into at-risk youth in Nashville, Tennessee.
That's awesome.
Man, that is incredible, dude.
When you did go back to the cell that you were in, what is something that you felt like you would have told your young self back then sitting where you are now?
Oh, that's a good question, Willie.
Dude, it's a double-sided question.
I'm going to tell you the real part.
The first thing you think of is you want to look at them and go, you do not know how much pussy you're going to get.
You have no clue
How this is that coming, dude
What is it coming, dude?
What is it coming?
Buddy.
This little kid is in jail and he's like, damn.
Jelly, what am I going to do?
He goes, buddy, there's so much pussy coming your way.
Don't even fucking worry about this.
Nothing.
Whoa.
Wrong.
That's so Raven.
I've got nothing myself.
Remember, he's 15.
He's fat.
shit obviously wasn't going well for him
he's in juvenile
he wasn't getting hit on a whole bunch
the chips were down dude
you know it just looked like it wasn't going to work
and that was the beginning
you're going to get a lot of pussy
and you have no clue
that this shit is going to work out
I swear you know what I was
the exact opposite of scared straight
hey you're exactly where you're supposed to be
this shit is epic for you bro
congratulations
That's so funny.
Don't worry, you don't deserve to be here.
I would, no, I swear, I would tell them, too, that,
because I had my, you know, I'd write a bunch of raps in there.
The biggest thing I'd tell them is, hey, man,
you have no clue how many lives you're going to change
with that piece of pen and paper.
Like, please know the power that's in that.
Because there's always the, the pins more powerful than the sword.
You know, and it's like, I never understood that
until people would come to me like,
your music got me sober.
You know what I mean?
It's like, I just wish I could continue.
convey that to him too. Like, hey, man, that's going to change the world, dude.
And this is only your 16-year-old summer. It's not the rest of your life.
Because I want to paint this picture for you. When you're 15 or 16, and you miss a semester of school, what did you miss?
If it was the front half of school.
Homecoming. Football season.
Your whole football season. Yeah.
The first semester, probably Christmas, too, Thanksgiving.
On fire.
Super.
Spooked over.
That's a big.
Things are piling up.
Right.
Things are pining up.
You're missing a lot of shit.
School dances.
Well, yeah, homecoming, yeah.
Now, think about it.
Now, as a 37-year-old man, a 30-year-old man, right?
Oh, do you earn?
We look at...
I'm 30.
Damn, you old is probably creeping up on 40.
Yeah, yeah, he's crazy.
Fuck you.
Fuck me.
Fuck you.
But now we look at six months like, no, I sleep through it.
Yeah.
Right?
You know what I mean?
Hell, y'all have different points have had to spend six months recovering.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's like, oh, dude, for me,
me, it's like, I'd go do six months in jail right now for you.
If I could have the choice for any one of the people on this bus that I love,
it's like, either Taylor's got to go for six months or somebody's got to go for him.
I'll be like, well, I got six months to kill.
I don't tour it till July.
You know what I'm saying?
Thank God, bro, because I'm not trying to go jail for nobody.
When you're a big statue you see here, I'll be, I get tucking.
When you're sitting, the whole world's over.
You know, you're behind a whole year in school.
You're not going to make up that whole first semester academically that second semester.
or bleeds into the next summer.
Like I would tell them the world is not,
and that's what I'm telling these kids when I talk to them,
the world's not crumbling the way you think it is.
I know in your mind that it's over for good
and that this is the only thing, you know, like there's no hope.
You can get back on track.
Yeah.
Because now 16 months, flash in the fucking pan, dude.
You missed a single football season.
We'll get you out here, get you back on your grades,
get you back in the gym,
you'll be back next season stronger than ever with a better mindset.
You don't feel that way at 15.
that's what I wanted.
That's what I would tell them.
It's like, hey, man,
because I started making bad decisions
just like, oh, well, I'm already fucked.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Nobody ever sat me down.
Like, dude, you're not fucked, dude.
The first time I went to juvenile,
I was, like, gone eight months.
So, like, dude, you lost eight months of your life.
Like, relax, you'll be okay.
You know, but no, I just kept doubling down on that shit.
Kept fucking doubling down, dude.

When you go, so when you go to Juven, you're giving all this stuff back to like
at-risk kids, juvenile attention center, stuff like that.
Do you think the system that's in place when you were in there is actually helping?
Like, did that help you be better?
Like rehabilitation.
Yeah, rehabilitation.
Was that like a something that was better for you?
Or was it kind of like, I know it can be better?
And so we should make it better type of thing.
I think back then there wasn't as focused on rehabilitation as they are now.
They were actually focused on like discipline.
You know, they treated it like it was like jail.
I think a 15-year-old kid, I don't care what he does wrong.
He doesn't need jail.
He needs rehabilitation.
He needs mentorship.
He needs love.
You know?
And I'm glad that the system has changed.
change. Ms. Hockett, who's been there for 25 years, has been at the forefront of changing that,
that paradigm shift. But I think that that's the real problem with juvenile is that a lot of times
these facilities are still focused on discipline. You know, and you're already dealing with a kid
who's anti-authority by nature, by a product of environment. He's already been raised to
be anti-authority. You know what I mean? And then you're trying to double down on discipline
where what he hasn't felt a lot of in his life is love. He hasn't felt a lot of consistency
and see and care. That's what we need to focus on is giving these kids what they haven't been
given. That's why they're in here. You know what I mean? Like slamming a door on them, locking them in their
cell 22 hours a day, no programming. That's not helping the kids. Like, it needs to be a constant
output of love and wrapping your arms around these kids. And I think rehabilitation is what we want. That's
where we want to sink our money to, right? The music is the front side of it because like I told people,
I didn't know what else to bring. Yeah. They were like, Jelly, do something for the kids. I'm like,
I know music. Want a studio?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just went straight into what I know.
Yeah.
Now I'm hoping that it, you know, the other money is going towards hiring people to bring in trade work and, you know, the stuff that I don't know.
Life skills.
Life skills.
Stuff they really don't even be teaching in school.
Like, yeah, that's crazy.
Me doing anything was really a cry to help to try to get people to help, right?
You know what I mean?
Which, by the way, you know, not on the spot.
We'll talk about it separate.
But, you know, I need y'all to come through and do me a favor this year at some point because we're going to start leading a monthly program up there and I want to change it every month.
So maybe one month y'all come and talk about athlete.
how y'all went from being athletes and podcasts and then paralleled and, you know, whatever.
Just come and tell your story.
These kids are so motivated.
Nobody ever comes in and just says, what's up.
You know what I mean?
Just your presence, just a fucking full-blown athlete and they will blow their mind.
Like, oh, shit.
Because there's a, look, I went there a scene to do the other day that was 14 with a beard like yours, dude.
No shit.
I'm jealous.
And I'm looking like, man.
With a $10 bill in there.
You'll make that 12-year-old running the football day.
You've got a mustache.
Hey, I wouldn't look at that guy's Instagram.
and that man is actually 14.
Like, I was looking at, you see, 12, right?
Are you talking about that kid with the dread?
Yeah, he's not started in 2020, so he would have been 10.
And it's like, he looked like a 10-year-old that was like getting a head start.
Yeah.
And then it was like, boy, it was like summer 2021.
This kid went from being 10 to literally 23 and like, about to take my girl.
And like, yeah, dude, like, oh, my guy.
And the man's got the fake tattoo on his.
for him. He's like, oh, a hena?
Dude's committed to the bit, right?
Like, he's like, I know I look 33.
I'm doing fake tats.
I'm not 18.
Can't go get real tattoos.
Yeah, yeah.
How tall is he?
He looks tall.
I don't know.
The internet's just the most fun with it.
As tall as me.
Just because the kid has a mustache.
He's out there big dog and everybody on the football team.
I've seen him on there with somebody today that acting like him and like a baby gronk dude
were going to hit each other or something to do a drill?
You remember the unit?
You remember Yuna?
Oh, yeah.
The Bears, I would always play.
We'd always play yuna.
What did you play for?
Flat Rock Valls?
No, I was with the Grassland Eagles and the Brentwood Blaze, but Yuna.
The Brentwood Blase.
Mooky played for Yuna.
We played against them.
Orleans.
But, like, dude, there was just always somebody on Yuna that looked 21 years old and they
were returning all the punts and they were playing quarterback.
You know what we fucked up about Yuna was their culture scared you.
Yeah.
Like, they would have the jersey.
So this is in the back of Antioch, right?
They were called the Unah Bears.
Orange and blue.
Right?
They were orange and blue.
And they, the, their names.
would be nicknames but scary
nicknames like creature, tank,
a killer, right?
That would be on the back of their jerseys.
Carlson's in the course.
Whatever they're going to end up doing.
Whatever they were.
It's your personality test.
That was their nickname.
But they had a culture.
They'd, and the whole stadium would do it,
and they'd scare you and growl at you and shit.
And it was like,
you just lost by sheer fear.
They were all big.
I played for it.
I played for you.
for a long time.
We had a coach.
We had the mud bowl, is what we call it.
It was when I was at the Grasin Eagles.
We were playing Yuna at Ezo Harding, and it was like, last game of you had beat this shit out
of us, but this is hilarious.
It was like 39 and raining all night, and the field was a mud bad.
It was a Saturday morning.
Ezo Harding had played the night before, so it was just in terrible shape.
So anyways, we had this coach.
I won't say his name.
Shout out Mike Huber.
It was definitely Mike Huber.
I won't say his name, Mike Huber, though.
Fucking shout at this guy, bro.
This is so funny.
But, dude, I will never...
In an attempt to intimidate the Unabairs,
Mike Huber decided he was going to get shirtless.
He had, like, a green turtleneck on, not intimidating.
We were fourth grade.
So he took off his shirt.
Okay.
And he's doing up-downs, not making us do up-downs.
He got us all, like, circled up and started doing up-downs in the freezing cold mud to get us fired up.
And then our other coach came over and told us the story of,
David and Goliath, like we all didn't go to David Lipscomb and hear it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Four times a year anyways.
Story of David Goliath, we go out there and Goliath whoops our ass, do we.
Goliath beat us like 56 to 3 or something.
Dude, you all score.
If you're getting the David and.
Yeah, if you're getting the Delia story, like, you're going to get your ass whoop.
If you got to get you know your coaches do not believe in you like, you're like,
you know, rule number one, don't give the team the David and Goliath story.
We're ever going to happen again.
Right.
They're just showing you, oh, our coaches don't believe in us in all.
But if they're doing the David and Gave and they're bringing out three shots, like little props,
yeah, you guys wheeled these.
Yeah, we played for, you know, we played for them.
Then Smyrna LeVernna LeVern and LeVern and Bulldogs finally split.
Then they turned it.
He used to be the Smyrne Levinner Bulldogs, and it turned into Smyrne Bulldogs,
Levinner Bulldogs, Purple and gold.
Yeah, when they built the Leverne High School.
So then I went play for Levin' back in the day.
They were nasty.
No, I never played.
Baseball's the only sport.
I mean, I was a big kid.
I was fat my whole life.
So baseball had too much running.
I hear you.
Baseball had too much running
over football.
You got us on the line,
you got to get on a hot.
If you had chewing tobacco
in your mouth,
it's not a very...
Whoa, whoa.
To this day when I go play a celebrity game,
what happens when I hit a dinger out in the field,
I'm trying to try.
No, you can't,
he's got to run the first place.
Yeah.
The worst he's got to do
is run the best he's got to do.
I hit the wall at a celebrity event
the other day.
Yeah.
Fucking made it the first.
Hit the wall.
Hey, he did.
I'm fucking at the national
Sound Stadium.
Honestly, it's a good outfielder.
I'm thinking of myself.
It's a good ass out of outfield out there.
When Jellero...
Hey, when Jellero runs salted,
in my defense.
I knew there was no way
there were...
You run the 40-yard dash
and we get to the chorus
at the same time.
The first chorus is Jelleyroll's 40-yard dash.
What do you think you'd run a 40 in?
Oh, fuck, dude.
I don't know.
In afternoon.
Oh, bro.
Yes.
That's the best one.
Hey, can we tell them about these necklaces?
Yeah.
I'm gonna let it out.
Jelly roll chained me yesterday for the first.
I got my official chaining.
Jelly roll got me.
Nice.
It's from ice boggs, bro.
We met in the Lakeita Inn next to Waffle House off Hardingford.
I saw that.
Where were you guys meeting it?
Reminded me of a Tal Digginsuitary.
So, listen, Ernest's sort of...
Mark's, uh...
Who's that director?
Martin Scorsese's name?
Fuck.
Like some sort of like gangster movie.
Like, they're outside of like a Motel 8 type thing.
That was that vibe for sure.
Well, listen, in my defense, the only way to get earnest to meet you is tell them you're bringing them drugs.
I was like, hey man, I got a sack of bud for you.
You want to meet somewhere?
It's like, yeah, just meet me over here, you know, whatever.
What were you doing by Lakeita End?
I wasn't.
I was in Green Hills, and he was coming from Brentwood, and I was like, let's meet at the Cracker Barrel.
And parking lot was full.
And so I sent him a video, I was like, hey, we'll be over here in this parking lot, the Waffle House, right?
And on the others, if you go around Waffle House, it was just a big empty parking lot.
to look keen to end.
I was like,
this is classic.
This is Nashville
classic meetups.
Yeah,
yeah.
I was like,
what a peculiar place
to pull up to
with a fucking expensive
diamond shiny.
He's like,
I'm with jelly right now.
I'm thinking,
where in the fuck are they?
It's so hard.
So anyways,
it's like,
just breathing on my hand.
What I love so much about it
is I would never get
something like this
for myself,
I don't think,
but I refuse to not wear this chair.
Like,
this is not in the box,
dog.
I worked out in it this morning.
I wear my little black Nike tank top and some sweats
and let this shit shine, dude.
I was throwing around a little weight and just...
I'll tell you what, then you started doing some plio.
That thing's going to hit you in the teeth, knock your teeth out.
I'm not doing plyo.
No question.
That was a stupid comment.
I apologize.
How dumb was that?
How dumb was that?
How fucking dumb was that, dude?
I'm an idiot.
I'm an idiot.
I'm not going to risk these great teeth.
Zoom in.
Look at the other.
I got the most mid-teeth of all time.
So who did you get those necklaces for?
Me, Hill, and D-ray, the three guys that,
wrote the record.
That's awesome.
So Son of a Center's number two on country radio this week.
It might be number three, but it's been between two and three.
Number three right now, we've got the freeze at number three and God willing.
God willing, we'll go number one at the top of the year.
Buddy.
My thing was, so ultimately, I met Ernest as a rapper.
Ernest met me as a rapper.
What was your, wait, what was your rap name again?
Snow.
Snow?
Yeah, just SNO.
No, baby, snow.
SNO, dude.
Yeah, sure did.
And DeRay, our home boy now, but my homeboy for 20 years is from East
Nashville.
He was a rapper when I was growing up.
So ultimately I was like, you had three rappers, right?
What is probably going to be a number one country song together?
What do you get three rappers that wrote a number one country song?
I was like, what you talk about?
No brainer.
I was the coolest thing.
I was like, that's what we'll do.
Well, I'll wear rapper necklaces on Music Row.
Honestly, just getting that song on radio.
I hope we started to get Riley Green one.
Get him a big, rally green one.
Yeah.
Just the big diamond duck.
Diamond duck.
Diamond duck opening that far.
Get a chain.
Right.
Diamond dove.
That'd be hard.
That'd be sick.
Yeah.
I kind of want one of those.
Christmas gifts?
What you got for me, Willie?
Speaking of, what are you getting me for Christmas, bro?
These are some nice chains.
$300 cap.
You'll see.
$300 cap.
You all that's what we're doing for all of our gifts?
Oh, no, that's for the white elephant.
I'm talking about what are we getting each other?
That's my cap across to the.
That's my cap across the board.
I thought you said three-bri-old a cab.
You know you're over a day.
I was like, not bad.
Hey, let's talk about our South Park bit.
Let's fucking talk about.
Not bad.
We have you told Jelly about it?
No.
Can I just go and we can join it?
I think that is the best way to do go about it.
Sure.
Compton was, no, please, you deserve it.
You started it.
You got to fill in.
You got a lot of the fillers.
All I want to start is preface it.
Yeah, please preface.
It just started.
We're all sitting around the table, night out.
Late at night, we're about to play some games.
You can figure out what type of mental space we were in.
But we're sitting there talking laughing about, what do you got, what do you got,
what do you got, Er.
I don't know what that means.
We were banged up.
We were in a nice little.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
He was saying we were high.
Yeah.
But he was trying to be good about it.
And we're sitting there,
we're sitting there joking about the trade,
the Britney Griner trade,
in joking terms that was on the internet.
Just for everybody that was.
Yeah, we were joking about how the A.J. Brown trade was the only one worse.
We were like, yo, they should do a South Park episode on the Britney
Griner trade and basically treat what, and you said,
what if they traded Tom Brady?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or was it the merchant of death still?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes.
So, all right.
So basically, Cartman's president, and they're in the White House in the situation room,
and the NFL draft is on.
And we have to make big things happen.
We just, like, figuring out a way to get the Patriots to be better, basically, he's like,
I know what we do.
He's like, we're going to trade for the merchant of death to get Tom Brady back to the New England Patriots.
He's like, yes, genius.
All right.
So anyway, so they're just like a big parade.
And everybody's like, oh, Tom Brady.
Tom Brady's coming back.
and he's coming back into convertible,
and it's like right by the stadium.
And he just drives right through
and doesn't turn to the stadium.
And his head's wobbling.
He's on a mission.
He's on a mission.
He's got to get him around.
So he gets a few houses down,
takes the right, pulls in.
Gazelle, let me in.
It's Tom Brady seven-time Super Bowl champion.
Please, let me in.
So Giselle comes,
lets him in.
So we have an addition to this now that I think, too.
So he wants to get,
Zelle back. He doesn't give shit about playing
for the Patriots. So he's trying to get Giselle back.
He finally wins her over.
She leaves the house. He's like, okay, whatever.
It's all good, Tom. She leaves.
We didn't know this year. I think she's going
to A. B's. I think they're having an affair.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Or A. B. Answers to go and the way we are. When he goes to see Giselle
and the whole show is about him trying to get Giselle back
from A. That would be funny.
Yeah. It'd be funny. Yeah, yeah. So anyways,
Giselle comes back.
Finally, Megamins. Tom Brady's making out with his
kid. He blows her.
And then all the while the merchant of death is like planning a huge attack on the NFL or something like that.
And it's all just to get somebody.
When we were talking about this, it made, it was perfect.
He was the only thing.
Ernest, you can tell he's the creative genius in the details of it.
Like, it would basically, like, we'd be sitting there talking about it's like if there's a way, like, he was like,
what if America traded for the golden boy Tom Brady and it wasn't Britney Griner?
Like, how would America be?
Like, America would be fighting so hard to get Tom Brady back.
Making fun of America
that they would work so hard to get Tom Brady back
versus like the outcry.
Like nobody'd be making a fuss if it was Tom Brady,
but this is Brady Griner, everyone's spas and out.
Yeah.
So then to make fun of the government,
along with it, you treat the government
like he said, the war room on drafting.
You're literally comparing because everybody's making trade jokes.
So you're basically making it like,
it's Tom Brady worth the merchant of death
and everybody's like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Tom Brady's worth the merchant?
You know all this self-park characters.
Then Tom Brady comes back
and everybody's like up in arms,
what type of person he's going to be?
because everyone's talking highly of Brady Griner,
meeting or all this stuff.
Like, everyone's going to know, like, we got Tom Brady back.
How's you going to act?
How's you going to be received coming back to America?
And the surprise is they're going to be throwing parades
and everything else and all the bells and whistles.
But Tom's going to be, like, focused on not even worrying about the parade
because he's so focused on getting Giselle back
because he's had the whole breakup, the divorce and everything else.
And it's just Tom, like, he's not who you think he is.
He's just on a mission like,
Jesus, Jude, you know, you know.
Tom Brady, seven times to me.
And Err was like every time he introduces himself, he's got to say those.
He's got to say that phrase.
And then we got through, we got like through that whole storytelling.
And we were trying to figure out how you wrap it up and end it all.
But maybe it's like, you know, it's got to be, it's going to be an hour special.
And there's got to be a side story about the Marine who also didn't get in the trade.
And he thought he was going to be out of like he's in the draft room.
You got to find a way to make fun of everybody.
Yeah, yeah.
You got to make fun of everybody.
Everybody's got to get a piece.
South Park does an incredible job of that dude.
Where was y'all at?
It was like a brilliant.
Yeah, it's a brilliant episode.
What were we playing?
Mario Party.
Mario party.
Just mini games.
On the Switch, dude, you had like these little tiny controllers.
What's that?
In person.
Yeah, we're in person.
I got a Switch.
I'll come next time.
We play them on the bus.
Come on.
Oh, we're down.
I'm on the Mario card.
Brummed a Mario card, I smack ass.
Drunk driving.
What are you doing?
Honey, I'm drunk driving.
What?
No, no, we play Nintendo 64.
We play, what are they?
Like the little Switch games, right?
Yeah, but did you play N64 growing up?
No?
They didn't have...
He was in jail.
We're working on that.
What am I talking about?
I'm trying to get some games.
I'm fighting a good fight, y'all.
They have a TV with YouTube.
You need a game.
And I hate bringing this up
because this might change the mood a little bit.
You need to play a Red Dead Redemption, too.
Have you played that game yet?
What do you play on?
I play on Xbox.
I'm not like a true gamer.
Me either.
I play with others.
You got to go on your own journey, bro.
Really?
Let me smoke weed and do it.
Dude.
I got a little game station.
I wrote Red Dirt Red Dirt Redemption because of that, by the way.
Did you really?
Red Dirt Red Dirk redemption.
Yeah, Red Dead's awesome.
I thought that you were going so.
I don't know Red Dyr Red Dirk redemption because of that.
But yeah, that game's awesome.
Earn is just 24-7 always working a bit.
Yeah, always working a bit.
Right.
I'm going to be right.
Yeah, I'm a real estate.
I'll come out with something in a second.
It's all about the best.
When I got my surgery done, I was like laid up for two weeks, just sitting in California.
So I played that game.
I would play like eight hours a day.
You have to put fucking time in this game.
I bawled my fucking eyes out at the end of the game.
Cried.
Really?
Yes.
I'm not joking, dude.
I was like, I feel like I've lost a friend.
No.
I'm generally thought about getting enough.
I'll not to say nothing.
I want to get Arthur Morgan tattoo.
I'll say that.
I bought a H-Gall.
You will.
I will.
You will.
No, what you mean?
No-ball.
Who do you mean?
For somebody right now.
Oh, dude.
For real, though, just to get a, just to get a bead back there,
would you guys think of that?
South Park writing, that
South Park episode. You think that would be hilarious?
Yeah.
It needs to fine-tuning.
Like, if you sat back there was like, ah, it's not that good.
We need to workshop.
We need to workshop.
Okay, cool, cool, cool.
The whole AD came because he's done his standoff with the police.
Right now, currently.
That would, yeah.
Oh, we got to standoff with the police.
That's what we need.
That's what's missing.
It's misting police and brutality.
Oh, I hope the baseball creators will listen to that.
Yeah.
We've got to make this episode for the police.
That would be outstanding, dude.
Just have the bus somewhere just off the size.
If somebody wants to animate that,
feel free to go and have that name.
Oh my God, that'd be hilarious, dude.
I've got a paper towel back there.
Paper towel.
Bro, the South Park characters that they write up
is just so funny.
The way they make their voice sound.
Streaming wars, that whole thing was fucking funny.
I'm a family guy guy.
I'm a Rick and Morty guy.
I have never seen Rick and Morty.
I've heard Rick and Morty is on.
If you smoke a little pot and just sit down and watch it,
just start.
smart humor.
Not for me then.
Yeah, 747, dude.
No,
family guy's the best.
My TikTok feed right now is nothing but the fucking bad jokes on family guy.
Like the super dark jokes of family guy.
Family guys have some fucking money ones, bro.
And just like, I mean, everybody gets it.
Nobody's safe.
And I love it.
Nobody's the best part.
That's like South part too.
Like nobody's safe.
They're going to get somebody.
They're going to get you eventually.
Yeah.
It's good stuff.
Oh.
That's a fucking.
Dude.
I just, I just, I'm notified when I seen an angle.
I saw, I saw before we got the bus.
Okay.
No, I'm just kidding.
Let me get one of those.
That's an expensive, that's an expensive snout rocket right there.
But the good thing about, the good thing about family guy.
That's an expensive snout rocket, no?
I'll be back.
I'll be back, though.
Don't you worry, bro.
I'll be back for another one.
The funny thing about family guys, they just, the entire show, there's not like a theme
to the show as much anymore.
Like, they're just individual bits
and then they bring it back to the house.
Yeah.
Every scene.
Yeah.
Every scene.
Yeah.
Like, every night.
There was, I thought, I thought I saw something
where, like, the South Park creators, like,
hate family guy creators.
They can't stand them.
Have you all the time?
Have you seen Paradise PD?
Have you seen Paradise PD?
Another one came out?
The big yes, it just came out.
It's the best.
Because it starts right where it ended.
Oh, does it?
Yeah, it started right.
right where it in it so the baby's just walking around cock swinging all through the city.
Yeah.
Opening scene is just a baby with a dick the size of the Eiffel Tower.
And you're just...
Paradise PD.
Paradise PD is a crude humor like cartoon show.
Did you watch Brickleberry?
Yeah, Daniel Tasha Show?
Yes.
It's essentially the same show as Brickleberry.
It's the fact they have an episode where they meet Bricleberry.
You remember that?
Yeah.
Yo, what is...
What is the town turns into a giant pizza at one point?
What is Daniel Tosh doing these things?
I don't care.
Yes.
And the hot blonde's always trying to lick the fat dude's ass.
Yeah.
She's talking about him.
Me and my wife.
Hey, it's funny.
It's a hot blonde because he's looking for a cartoon.
He's got a hot.
I made my wife watch it.
And I was like, look, this is me and you.
I'm just kidding.
The super fat dude and the girl chasing him around.
Yeah, but the fact is.
We're having two different.
I'm sorry.
The fat dude's gay, right?
Yeah.
I think so.
I never write.
No, no.
He's like super innocent.
Yeah.
But who?
Remember when he had the one cat eat all the other cats?
Yeah.
It's so fucking mad, dude.
It's fucked up.
I can't believe you haven't watched this
for as much fucking weed as you smoke.
Have you seen Big Mouth?
If you watch Big Mouth, Nick Krolls show?
No.
No, I like...
Big Mouth, it might be the best...
I can't get into, like, Super Krug cartoon,
which is hilarious because I'm so crude,
but, like, family guy is, like, my...
Sweet spot.
Yeah.
I can...
I'll watch family guy on all the cruise.
I know I thought Big Mouth was funny.
Yeah.
There's funny bits.
Like, if somebody's, like, pulls up a thing,
on YouTube that they want me to see. I'm like, ah, I get it. This is why this is funny about it. I'm just, I'm not going to sit at home in the 45-minute window I have to watch TV.

Who's your three-fever comedians?
I know this ain't here, talk.
I'd like to swing that around the room.
Yeah.
Okay.
In my head, I had like one right away.
I love Norm, R-I-P.
Lewis Black has always been funny to me
He's just always so pissed off
And
God
For a third
No God is funny
God does have a pretty good sense of humor
Yeah dude a plattipus
That's hilarious
Man that's it
A plattipater
I just I was through the thing
I was like what
I was like
I'm not going to love a pithous
This is hilarious.
Go ahead.
What's your third one?
There's a guy named,
there's a guy named Quinn Dale, I think,
is pretty funny, too.
His video is always come up on my TikTok and stuff.
He's hilarious.
He just makes simple,
stupid punchline jokes,
quick and dry.
It's good stuff.
Yeah, it's funny.
What about, Jellia,
you brought the question up.
Who's yours?
I'm like a,
it's like,
active fighting.
Yeah.
So, like, right now,
I have a top three.
This is not an all time.
Right now, I just,
I love Gillis.
Oh, yeah.
He was going to make my list.
Bill Burr.
Bill Burr.
I think, I think, I think, I think, Bert.
Oh, Bert.
Of course.
Bert, I think, Bert's my entire story.
He's an incredible storyteller.
Incredible.
I haven't seen nothing from it in a while.
So I probably put Burr in there because I've seen Burr's a Red Rock special, but I love
Jesselnik.
Yeah.
I love Darcy.
Like, yeah, I didn't have long enough to think about all that.
To me, I don't put Dave.
Hold on.
I don't put Dave in a while.
Dave, to me, is in the...
I'm out Rushmore.
Yeah, like, he'll always be one of the greats to you.
Right, for sure.
Dave is like...
But you're talking about what you've enjoyed recently.
Yeah, like, what's recent?
Like, who's came out with a special
the last 24 months?
You know what I thought was just fucking crushing.
Bro, this podcast is just like the Midland podcast.
It's like multiple conversations going around.
Dude, that's awesome.
Who are you three?
Gillis.
I have no fucking clue, girl.
You know, like, I just enjoy fucking humor, man.
Like, you're making me laugh.
When we started talking about cartoons and maybe, girl,
I wonder.
No, no.
Like, those are great, Burr, Gillis.
You know who I really enjoy?
Burr, you know how I really enjoy?
I never really listen to his stand-up.
But I just enjoy watching anything, any conversation he's a part of.
But Tom Seguer is really funny.
Yeah, bro, Tom Segarra is a fan of it.
He's just got a little fucking funny.
He just don't give a fuck, man.
My current three is because I'm waiting for his next special.
I've seen some of it at the Chappelle Rogan thing here.
And his closing bit that night was the bit I remember the most from the whole night.
I've seen.
Jeff Ross, Dave Chappelle, Joe Rogan and Tom Seguer that night.
Every one of them killed.
But, man, I can't tell the joke because it's obviously,
should be on a special, but it's the fucking funniest, darkest shit I've ever heard my goddamn life.
Which is awesome about it.
Like, I've never watched his stand-up, but his Twitter and his fucking conversation clips that he's in,
like his podcast and everything, he's just so fucking funny to me.
And they get real, too, which I love.
There's such a good contrast because they both get, they're not just always being funny.
Right.
Jeff Ross, though.
I could watch, I can watch
Roast. I can watch the old Comedy Central roast
for hours. Just
Best of Roast. Jeff Ross, snap.
Have you seen Andy Sandberg's roast?
I'm going to eat hot chicken with me.
Dude, instead of being disrespectful
to everybody, he's just like
a way of wealth and like a week, it's fucking funny,
dude. He's funny as hell.
When he roasted you for your face stats, what was this show?
Because we were with, we did a Steve Burns
Oh, comedy piñata.
Hold on hold.
shout no free shoutouts but shout out to steve burn he does have a special on amazon prime right now
last late night so last late night no perfect that's the homie i have to do that for that's great but we
was on uh comedy piata and jeff ross was there was me jelly and jeff ross and we're just thinking
i don't know if you were thinking the same thing but i'm thinking it's fucking jeffrox
i felt the whole time me and we were like kids we were looking at each other behind jess back
and be like jeff i mean he's like so y'all want to go get something to eat i was like
Fuck, yeah, we wouldn't eat hot chicken with Jeff Ross.
I love that.
But what did he say about your face tattoos, bro?
He fucking, it was so funny, bro.
But he's just so gifted.
Like, his creative genius is just roasting the fuck out of people.
Quick with it.
You know who reminds me that's a great skill to have?
Theo's like that too, though.
Theo is, you know how Ernest is always looking for the bit?
You just see it on Theo.
The amount of times you watch Theo look at you and go,
I could have just rat fried your ass, but I didn't.
And he just looks at you like,
oh, no.
Yeah, Theo is 24-7.
It's hilarious.
Yeah, no, he don't care.
He's just, his mind moves that way.
That's so funny.
I made y'all jingle before y'all got here today.
I finally wrote the jingle.
Let's hear it.
Is that it?
Is that the jingle?
You heard it?
They put in the group chat.
This was the coolest shit ever.
Oh, is that what that was?
All right.
Oh, you got it?
We don't know.
We finally, like, there's a point in time.
There's a point in time I asked.
You want me to hear or no?
No, we should get earned a play.
Yeah, but for the sake of this, we play the first little second.
Give me the talent.
What did you say?
Play the very, like, first three seconds.
All right, give me a second.
Give me a second.
Bussing, boom.
You want to stop it?
Yeah.
All right.
It looks like Cameron Duddy's got some competition.
Yeah, we'll talk about it after you get some with this.
Oh.
He about to go off.
Is it a little strong?
Bussing with the boys.
Drink a nice cool.
Be making that noise just hanging with the fellas
Bustin with the boys
Hey that is like a ballin' all that is
Betting on a ball game
He over here drinking this beer
Making that noise
Bustle with the boys
That is outstanding brother
That was awesome
It was fire
That was fire
That was fire
Here we go.
Thanks Ryan Hurd for the guitar, I guess.
Before we go to that,
your guitar player that was on the
right of your stage, every single song
he was switching something out. He's a fucking stud.
Yeah, thank you, man. He would walk this set,
some guy be given one, he'd be given one.
No, I think that's Casey's side.
Buddy, he was fucking outstanding.
Yeah, thank you. You know, he's been one of the longest too, man.
That's my favorite part of that. He produced
Creature, which went platinum.
I got his platinum plaque that night. I was so proud
to give Tech Nine.
Like the underground, first of all, the fact that my favorite part of that whole night is that, especially you being a Missouri boy, was having Technine and Riley Green on the same.
I think I got like a fight.
It was there on the same fight card.
Bro.
That's crazy to me.
That's insane.
Never before and never again.
No.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That would make sense.
That's a jelly roll concert.
For real.
Never before and never again.
Well, you're going to get some Technine.
You're probably going to get some Riley Green.
I don't know.
Yeah.
How long did it take you to come up with that?
Don't piss me off, too.
How long, y'all tell me, y'all heard it?
Yeah.
Well, I said five to ten minutes.
Yeah.
There's a point in time.
Yeah, there's a point in time I've chasing.
Ernest, jelly.
Anybody who's been a musician that came on us, I'm like texting on fucking, this and this and that.
Early days.
The Midland, Cameron Duddy, he's in the middle of trying to make his jokes.
He's legit here, too.
He listens.
Yeah.
He listens.
I'm like I will do it.
I'm like, a lot of people
told me they'll do it.
I just did it.
I know you just did it.
No, I don't know.
You follow through.
You'll follow through, Fred.
I've told you I'll do it two years ago.
We showed up a whole eight minutes early today, y'all.
I got a fresh little doo-d-d-dute going.
I was like, it's 1115.
I know somebody's in there.
I'll go in.
There's a pickup a guitar.
Under, I was planning on lighting those black cat firecrackers,
but we're having too good of a time in there.
I literally,
had them set out there under there. I might do it. Who knows?
But yeah, so I ended up just coming up with the jingle.
I think it's right. I still think my favorite thing ever was busing with the boys.
First time I heard fucking sugar. What was that? It was when you did it when you were
fucking knew that. No, you did it. It was during COVID. It was a
busing with the boys. For sure. I did that.
Quarantine. 100% you did. Quarantine with the boys. Yes. You wrote a little jingle for that.
Quarantine with the boys.
Boys.
I don't want to tell you all about y'all's podcast.
But I promise you, when Ernest sang Sucker, he ended with bus and with the, because he walked down the guitar when he did it.
Yeah.
One of the many times I watched Ernest do something and go, I fucking hate you.
That was it.
Yeah.
Picking with the boys.
I forgot I did that.
For sure.
Really?
I'm a real.
I'm a real.
You are.
Well, I don't know if you want to be a tier one.
Why not?
It's a scary, you gotta do a lot of shit.
I mean, I'm pretty in the fucking phone.
You gotta, you gotta dive in.
I know.
How many tier ones have your number?
I don't think, didn't you?
Yeah, well, there you go.
So what does that make him?
I got to be in the top of here.
You're in your own grade, buddy.
I'm a fan fan.
No, you're a friend, friend.
The Midland episode?
One of my favorite episodes.
I love Midland.
Buddy, they're outstanding.
They are.
I haven't met them, really.
I bumped into them once
but we hadn't really met each other
but they were awesome.
You would love it.
Awesome.
My favorite story to tell about them was
they just reminded me of
like such an old school rock band.
We were doing this thing
for the grand old opera
with me, Brantley Gilbert, Midland.
What a fucking setup, right?
And Carly Pierce.
And I didn't know,
I didn't realize it
for the grand old Opry until I got there.
And Midland's walking on the stage
and one of the guys turns around
and goes, who gets the,
we don't got our ears.
And they go, we're doing monitors.
Like, he didn't know
fucking what he was walking
to do it all.
And I was like,
Like, that is so me.
He had no clue.
His exact response was all fucking far out, man.
Far out, man.
Far out, man.
I had to be Cam, right?
I mean, those boys are beating.
You're listening to Far Out. Yeah, it's got to be Cam.
It's got to be Cam.
Because he's the only only really talks like that.
Yeah, I thought it was great.
Hey, can I play Red Rocks the night before I did?
Can I shamelessly plug the songs I just dropped?
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'll do it in a little bit.
No, absolutely.
That's what this is for.
Yeah, literally.
You got to talk about what's going on in everybody's world, man.
Three new songs, Miss That Girl, Unhanging the Moon, and songs we used to sing.
I announced the Flower Shops album, but it's part two, two dozen roses,
13 new songs total.
It'll be 24 songs total combined with the original flower shops.
And, yeah, it's like a part two.
They're going to call it a deluxe, but I feel like sometimes deluxees are made by just slapping three new songs on a thing.
and I don't know what that's all about.
This is a part two.
The story continues.
And it's some of my favorite songs.
And.
You got a date on the whole record?
Say what?
You got the date on the record?
February 10th.
February 10th?
Oh, right.
For Valentine's Day.
Right.
You know it.
Oh, yeah.
It's going to be a rose-infested Valentine's Day.
Yes, man.
Baby making me.
People are going to make babies over Ernest, dude.
While Ernest is serenating in the background.
It might be me.
It might do it.
February?
She's going to start getting on them, you know,
I don't want to talk.
about our business like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Performance and enhancing drugs.
We're going to look you getting busy again.
There you know.
That's going to miss a way to do it.
Run them back to back.
Will's having sex.
Jasellez, it's me.
Tom Brady.
And that album, Boss, did you say this to me?
If you listen to the album front to back,
he loses the girl and back to front, he gets the girl.
Yeah.
How do you find it?
How do you fucking even do that, dude?
Did that just happen?
Well, I guess if, I don't know, maybe it's just physics.
So if you listen to the album, front, the back,
top to bottom, he loses the girl.
But if you listen to it from the last song to the first song,
it gets the girl.
Yeah.
You're a creative motherfucker.
Bro, he's a creative.
Bro.
Errin, you really are.
You really are.
You really are.
Mushroom shit, does.
You're like one of the most.
I've ever got to be in, like, the presence of.
Bro, the shit he was...
You're literally watching him work.
Like, you get to witness him work.
Like, when we're...
I know we fuck around with that South Bar Big, but even that...
He loves that South Bar Big.
He's going to be incredible.
It's going to be incredible.
Well, listen to and work on that.
Obviously, the songs he was showing us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, easy.
We can't, like, put out there like that, but just...
And then, obviously, coming up with the bullshit,
listening to you on the pod.
You're creative, man.
Do you want to talk about those things?
Because there's...
Yeah, I do.
I have a plan in my head for you.
And I don't know.
if you want to talk about.
It's not going to fit my narrative.
No, what I'm trying to do for you in my head.
Because, A, if you've seen this, then you'll know when you know.
And if not, then...
That's a good...
Bro, like, 10 years from now when everyone's like...
10 years.
So and so.
They're going to be like, oh, bro.
You didn't know in 2022?
Yeah.
But I don't know if you want to talk about that.
Ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt this podcast to bring you Duke Cannon.
It can be hard to find good last-minute holiday gifts for the boys.
But don't panic.
Dootanan has the...
perfect gift idea for the hardworking guy in your life.
Their big-ass lump of coal soap that is a humorous yet sensible gift for the guys in your life.
It's three times bigger than the average soap and made with active charcoal and the masculine
scent of, what is that, Bergamont?
Bergamont.
Bergamont.
Bergamont.
Bergamont.
Bergamont.
And black pepper.
And black pepper.
If you want to give someone a gift, they won't hate and immediately return after
Christmas, do the boys of favor and buy Duke Cannon at your local Target
Realtailer. We said this before on one of the earlier ads. This is one of those
things that stocking stuffers, boys. There's presents you can give out under the tree
and that's great, but low-key, when you walk downstairs and you see that giant
ass sock and it's stuffed with a bunch of shit, you know there's probably a couple
hitters in there. And this is one of those things you might look over at first,
but then you actually try and apply, you're really going to enjoy what you get there.
When you round out a high-quality stocking, yes. That goes a long way. Life, you get
Put some bullshit in the stocking.
There's always some bullshit in there.
Because you approach a stocking, like, all right, let's see what else is left, all the extra shit.
But when you got a well-rounded stocking, like, you're like, you know, this is fucking nice.
You smelling this big ass lump of coal.
Right.
And you're like, yo, hey, they got me soap.
Like, what's that all about?
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Just trust me.
Yeah.
They so on fucking real, dude, you know?
And the thing, too, is, like, a lot of times you use bars of soap.
You put the bar of soap on and then your skin kind of feels like tight.
Not with Duke.
Duke, you still have that looseness.
I feel fucking good.
And I smell great, bro.
Check out Duke Canada any target or on Duke Cannon.com and use code Bustin
for 15% off your first order.
Duke Cannon is not for clowns.
And back to the episode.
What he's producing as a friend is that I think he sent me the record the other day,
the whole record.
And I think I love Miss That Girl and I love Unhanging the Moon,
but I think the best records are on the record.
Yeah.
Some of my favorites haven't been put out of you.
To me, that's like the most important thing as an artist, right?
Hang on say that again.
You said some of his background.
The three songs he just plugged.
The deluxe album that's coming up, that's 13 songs.
He said those three songs are good, but the best songs, those other 10.
Yeah, for sure.
When he's a record, he needs an album.
Yeah, when I say record, I'm fucking old.
Slow it down for your boy at time.
Yeah, listen.
That black label hasn't hit yet.
His best music's on the record?
I thought he didn't release some of this stuff we were just talking about.
His best music's unreleased.
And I think that's the most important thing as an artist is that if your
if your unreleased music isn't your best music, it's clear what side of the mountain
you're on.
Right?
Yeah.
What do you explain the mountain?
So like, you know, this is like we're all trying to climb whatever the mountain is.
We're hoping whenever we plateau, we get to hang there for as long as possible and enjoy that view.
But at some point, every artist goes on the other side of that mountain.
It's just inevitable.
Like there's a moment where you go, ah, man, the last really good album he dropped was, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Versus just singles and.
Yeah.
As an artist, my goal is to always have a song that's not released that I think is the best song.
I have in my catalog.
Yeah.
That's why we write so much.
Just have good bullets waiting.
You just don't want to get,
you don't want to get again.
What he's saying is like,
your peak in your career.
Without son of the sir,
I'd have only been remembered for saving.
Yes.
You see what I'm saying?
Always have that next one.
But I knew when I,
when son of a sinner was wrote,
I was like, oh no, I got it.
I'm coming back.
It's over.
Like, I'm going to break that,
I'm going to shake that one.
Right.
And then it's like,
I have a record I'll call Need a Favor
that I believe is going to be bigger
when it's said and done.
than son of a sinner.
I believe that.
But most importantly,
and I'm sure he feels the same way,
I got a song in my phone
that I think's bigger
than every song I've ever released.
Interesting.
And that, I'll play,
I'll send you some songs.
You know what I do.
But it's like,
if I don't feel that way,
I'm in trouble.
Do you not feel the same way as an artist?
I'm not the only weirdo that's like that way?
No, 100%.
I've got to have something
I feel like's better than my left.
He's very nervous if my phone was lacking a hit right now.
For sure.
If my phone was in a place where I was like,
I don't have a song I'm comfortable plugging
into an auxiliary repeat.
Like,
Any room in Nashville right now, any songwriter, any artist, if they break out the auxiliary cable, you will watch Buttholespucker.
Because there are a lot of dudes in this town who don't have a good song in their phone and they're fucking scrambling to find one.
You know what I mean?
Where I'm going to be like, give me the fucking cable.
Wouldn't it be so hard to do a Nashville version of verses?
Yes.
You know?
Oh, that'd be so good.
But like you got either the artist or you got songwriters doing verses.
Like you meet up at the tin roof and doing verses.
But you don't know about verses?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It would be so far to do like a 10-roof demo night of like,
all right, you've got this rider against this rider.
You each get five songs, crowd reaction wins.
Yeah, crap.
Here's the kid.
Now, you're one of the big killer is.
You only get to do four hits.
The fifth song's got to be one that's just a demo you're sitting on that nobody's heard.
Yeah, yeah, four hits.
Because at the end of it, I want to see who's sitting all something.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's right now you're going to smoke anybody in Nashville because you're going to swing
dick.
You're going to walk right in there and sing fucking some of the biggest songs in a
last two years.
Who in town?
No, but no, there's a little...
Tell me I'm right now.
Hardy would wipe me, I think.
I think Hardee would go nose and nose.
I think Hardy would be a tough one.
Anybody do Hart can write like that?
Ashley Goreley is a jukebox of number one.
No, no, I'm talking.
If we had to encapsulate 24 months.
Okay.
Ashley Goreley...
Ashley, you, Hardy?
Well, but...
Hold on...
Well, let's get up there and bring the smoke.
Jelly, real quick.
What are we arguing right now for me and Will?
who are not the music.
Are you saying,
from a writing standpoint,
what Ashley's written,
what Hardy's written,
and when Ernest is written
in the last 24 months.
And you put them in front of
700 people,
500 people of the tin roof.
Yeah.
You pack the tin roof ass to elbow.
Yeah.
And crowd reaction...
Is it Oxcord or is it play on a guitar?
Is it writers around
Barstool style or is it just
oxcore DJing?
That's a good point.
Mm.
Because Oxcore DJ gets really scary
because listen,
when wasted on you drops
It's over
When an 808 drops in that club
It's over
We'll see you later
I think it's an Oscar
Just like battles
Like versus is
You just play the record
Play the record
And then you get a demo
On the fourth one
Because I don't think
In 24 months
Somebody could drop something
With an 808
Just gonna move the room
Like
Like wasting on you
Here's my question
Why aren't you guys doing that
Yeah we gotta do
We're pioneering it right now
First of all I want to say
This says a lot about you
You know I'm all about
Jumping
Everybody we named
No plan
You're like
like all shit.
Oh, yeah.
That says a lot about the culture.
Y'all've created.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which I always give y'all y'all's flowers for.
I've said from day one that Ernest, Hardy, and Morgan have created a sense of, like, actual genuine friendship in the music business that hasn't been seen since how Waylon and Willie really were with each other.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
No, not really, but I understand what you're saying.
Yeah.
Good compliment.
Right.
That's a good compliment.
That's a lot of mullet.
That's a lot of mullet.
It's the truth because you look and you're like...
You're that movement too, though, now, bro.
I mean...
Me and Strug, I hope. That's what we hope.
Me and Struggle, watch y'all and go, oh, this is dope.
We've been friends 20 years.
We left out and we were saying people that join them on stage.
Struggle, too.
Struggle, for sure.
Yeah.
Struggle Jennings.
Yeah.
Michael Buffer was probably the one.
Michael Buffer, too.
Yeah.
Struggle Jennings.
You know, my best friend Strug.
We've been best friends for 22 years now, 20 years.
Really?
He's got a 23-year-old daughter that I babysat.
Oh, true.
How long we've been for him for him.
She babysit her in sometimes.
Anytime.
First of all, I'm the babysitting.
I'm a babysitting motherfucker, dude.
Kids love me, kids run up to me.
They hide behind me.
Little people are attracted to big people.
This is a fact.
You see it's your whole life.
Tell the truth.
Yeah, but I've also feel like there's the opposite, too.
Like, the kids are like, oh, hell, hell, like, they feel more comfortable.
But there's also those kids are like, you know, he might be a little too big.
That might be a little too much for me right now.
You know what I'm saying?
It might be a mascot.
Yeah, yeah.
Mascots terrified me.
Yes, mascots will fuck you love.
There's a bison mask.
at Lipskin University that I went berserk over every time I'd see the costume in like the
equipment room and be like not going near that.
Not fucking going near it, dude.
So, okay, hold on.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're saying the best combination right now is Morgan, Hardy, and Ernest.
Yeah, well, it's like because of their, what I...
Their chemistry.
They have a true friendship.
Real friendship.
Yeah.
You're talking about what they've done for the industry?
Listen, the way they do it, I could bore y'all with nerd-out about this.
the way Morgan took Hardy and Ernest on the tour last year.
And then double back and brings them both back out next year.
Right?
That's a man that took his friends with him when he got in a situation to call his own shots.
Because let me tell you how Nashville works.
Every record label and booking agent in town were pitching everybody but Hardy and Ernest at morning.
Why do you think that is?
Oh, it ain't to think.
I fucking know.
I know how to business works.
Because it's the greatest look in the music business right now.
Yeah.
He's the 800-pound gorilla dog.
Morgan Wallin is the king of country.
country music right now.
He outstreamed, I said this the other day, and I think I got this fact, right?
He outstreamed the second biggest streaming artist in country music by like 900 million streams.
Really?
Yeah.
I think it was Zach Bryan was like one three or one four, and I think Morgan had two one.
While you see Zach Brown, because I feel like I haven't heard much from Zach Brown.
Fire.
Is he right?
Is he right?
Zach Bryan or Zach Brown.
Zach Bryan?
Oh, okay.
Okay, okay.
Brian?
Yeah, yeah, he's incredible.
Yeah, Zach Bryan.
He is so...
Zach Brown's incredible, too,
but Zach Bryan is on flat fucking fire.
I told Delaney as well as like,
these guys everywhere.
He was on the playlist of Perch.
He was on Yellowstone last night.
He's on the cover of every country playlist.
He deserves it.
He's a cool dude.
He's a really good dude,
everybody's getting looks.
You're saying the industry would pitch
everybody except Hardy and Ernest
because he's the big dogs
so they want to pair them with other big dogs.
He's a big a super tour.
Got you.
They want their artists to get the best look they can get.
Like going on, Morgan don't need nobody to sell tickets, y'all.
Right.
Let's call a spade a spade.
He don't need nobody to sell tickets.
He don't play two hours, three hours,
bomb himself.
For sure, and everybody.
He could do 45 minutes of covers
and girls would just sit there and cream.
The dude's on fucking fire, dog.
He's fucking Elvis.
But it's like, straight up.
Hey, that is a strong statement.
He's Elvis.
To some 12-year-old little girl.
Yeah.
The dude is the closest thing to Elvis she'll ever see in her life.
To a 22-year-old UT frat dude.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's the close.
You got to think about it from a...
I'll give you a piece of perspective.
Ah, God, I hope this don't come off wrong.
My daughter doesn't know who Kid Rock is.
Okay.
So, like, we're up meeting Kid Rock, and she's heard the name, right?
And she knows that he's a really big deal, but she's just...
She don't remember how fucking insane the 1997 Kid Rock era was.
You know what I mean?
She doesn't remember how you could not move through the United States of America without hearing
ball to the ball to bang to bang
do you do right to you
I'm talking about in the project
devil about a cause was a fucking hitter
she missed that whole era so like
to her Meg the stallion
or Cardi B
is like what was he this big
and I'm like oh no no you don't
understand how big he was sweetheart
I feel like there's different levels
of big now because of how much social media there is
in 1997 it was like
it was a different well that was the year
watching the last dance documentary
reminded me that we'll never
have real superstars again.
Woodstock, 99.
You watch Elvis Presley's movie.
There's no way that can happen now.
No, for sure.
No way.
No.
You know why?
Because people, they know you, they feel, it's all personal now.
Yeah.
Like, back then, you waited outside of a hotel to see Michael Jordan walk by just to see him.
You'd see him on newspaper, news.
You never knew.
Like, he was a real human.
Like, oh, my God, he's real.
I see him.
I was there.
Michael Jordan and China, bro.
Like, people just losing their mind.
People would come to go watch him play in Portland
To watch him ride the bench
That's wild
You know what I'm saying
Like the arena
It'd be the only sell out of the Portland
Ferrell Bay's their season
And he wouldn't even play
And he wouldn't even play
What the fuck's he gonna play against Portland
For that?
You think Jesus would have been popping
If they had Instagram
Jesus was gonna be on fire
They would have reached out
And to grab the cloak
To heal herself
Like would have just slid in his DM
Be like, yo
Check my Amazon
I got Amazon link in my bio
Jesus would have been the anti-influenced.
He would have not been an influence.
He would have been naturally to do with what he's talking about right now.
I think he would have, I think he would have, yeah,
because, I mean, he would at least have the good word.
Well, he had had 12 followers.
His 12 disciples would have been recording all this stuff.
He started out with a team, that's for sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jesus, I'm telling you, he didn't tell you.
Then just one of them went to be the hype man for another guy.
He would have looked like a rapper walking in places.
He bridged off.
Yeah. He would look like a rapper walking.
in.
Totally.
They'd have pulled up on motorcycles and jumped out on some gangster shit.
Jesus would have looked like.
It wasn't hos, by the way.
If you look at it,
they were 12 kind of savage motherfuckers.
Yes, they were.
He took up like 12 real oddballs, dude.
There was only one that ended up sucking really bad.
The rest of them were pretty fucking in edge.
You know what I'm saying?
He did better than me.
This shows it looking like machine gun Kelly with the crew.
Anyways.
This would be a gangster.
Anyway.
Anyways.
I stand by that.
Jesus would be a complete fucking gangster.
No doubt.
In what way?
I don't feel like Jesus would be like...
Dude, listen.
You start talking about motorcycles hanging up.
Hey, his 12 dudes were gangsters.
One guy ended up really sucking.
And in my head, I'm thumbing through
the small roll of decks of the Bible information
I have in my head.
And I'm like, I don't...
I'm not sure he was a carpenter.
Let me give you some stuff
that'll change your perspective on Jesus.
You know what the first recorded miracle in the Bible was?
The wine.
Water to wine?
I want you all to think about this.
there's only four books in which Jesus has spoke about or has direct words written where he said he said them.
Only four.
Of that big fucking big book, there's like that much that has to do with the actual Jesus, right?
Like from a first, second, third hand account.
Of every miracle he did, do you, is there not something telling about his first miracle being doing a party favor for his mom?
And he told his mom, he said, hey, man, don't, no, just ain't my time.
Don't bother me with that.
So he goes, come on, man.
He was like, all right.
So he'd already showed her he could do some wild shit.
He already showed he was Harry Potter.
She must have known this to come and ask for him to turn the water and wine.
She called him making something out of wood with no hands.
She was like peeping in the little.
Yeah.
Just over there with his mind and a rocking chair for.
And the first document in the whole Bible is about a liquor favor?
Beacon.
So you're saying because of that.
No, no, there's more.
Okay, good.
What about when he walks in the temple and they said he flipped the table and said,
you turn my father's house into a merchant?
He went in there and snapped.
He went in there and lost his fucking shit.
He didn't walk in there and go,
hey, y'all, I just want to discuss the importance
of not turning this holy sanctuary into a place.
He went in there and raised hell like a pissed off dad.
He went in there and threw some shit and said,
get the fuck up out of here.
This is my father's house.
Yeah.
The dude's pulling up on a Harley.
He's fucking turning water into wine.
He's fucking walking into the party like I'm fucking here.
Let's talk.
That's the dude I've seen in the Bible.
He didn't care about nothing.
The dude was now playing in the sand and they came to him and said,
this dude's cheating on his wife, all the Pharisees.
He just kept playing in the dirt.
Didn't even look up at him.
Didn't even respect him enough to give him his eyes.
Just kept playing in the dirt.
They said it again.
He finally said,
oh, I guess y'all ain't never did nothing wrong, huh?
Yeah.
That's all he said.
And they were like,
The way you're fucking doing it is good.
The way you're like selling me right now.
I'm about the head of church after this,
I'm going to Bible study.
Way, told you know, he was like,
Ye who is without sin cast the first stone.
That is not it.
Everyone has like their own interpretation of it,
and that is exactly like,
Jellyroll, like, I understand that that is his interpretation of it.
I can make sense.
He said, like, in his head, made it exactly what he was to be.
Look at jelly, like, that is definitely his interpretation.
Have you ever had 17 months to sit and think about it?
That guy knows Jesus.
I've read the Bible cover and cover a few times.
All right.
Jesus is a gangster.
You heard of here first.
There you go.
I don't know.
I get worried they'd be a little, like, preachy.
Who me?
With Jesus?
No, no, not you.
Jesus himself, if he was here right now.
No. No, he didn't do a lot of preaching.
He didn't preach a lot of the Bible.
He should read a fucking book, dude.
Yeah, no, he didn't preach it.
I should read the book.
My brother?
He didn't say a lot.
Yeah, he wasn't very talking of, at least per the accounts we have of them.
The imagery of you been playing in the sand.
Oh, that's beautiful.
Yes, y'all never did nothing wrong.
That's crazy.
I think John just had a membership of climbed Nashville, though.
I'm pretty sure Jesus was a rock climber.
We're going to hell.
I only, I walked in here.
like, I just hope we don't talk about Jesus today.
You brought up Jesus.
No, he brought up Jesus.
Who would you say?
What do you tell you?
You went on a 10-minute rant about if Jesus was here, would he have followers?
And what would his story?
Oh, that kind of grew up?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Would Jesus be a celebrity is how this started?
Oh, yeah.
You think Jesus would be a big celebrity if he was here?
Like that?
I don't think you would be popping.
You think Jesus would be popping?
I do.
Anyways, Jesus would be on fire.
He'll be a carpenter or do something different.
That's our headline for YouTube.
Yeah, he probably did a carpent.
a YouTube title, would Jesus be a celebrity?
Would Jesus be a soul?
Yeah, that's probably what he'd do.
Put actual thought and do it too.
I'm on the first of the number one record and we're going to be canceled right there with
earnest.
And Edsy, he just has an Etsy account.
He's like, makes cute rocking chairs and heart swings.
He goes to like farmer's markets.
He does voiceover dubs on the TikToks.
He just his hands.
His hands never actually touched anything, though.
Just shit moving around.
Telekinesis with Jesus.
That's his.
Instagram. Did Jesus do telekinesis?
With Jesus?
Is that right? Is that where you...
Yeah, I'm with you now. Okay.
I go, hey, do you think Jesus would still be a carpenter?
And he thinks for a minute. He goes, yeah, I do.
I just like, that was it.
And then all of a sudden, we're at telekinesis with Jesus.
I was just thinking, you can market carpentry in this day and age.
Yeah. What else can we talk about?
What else can we tell you?
I've been praying about it over here quietly.
I'm sweating.
I'm sweating.
I'm like, Ernest's going to do.
No, that is so funny.
Delicinesis, but Jesus.
Yeah, what else is there going on, boys?
Earn, what you got going, dude?
So you're going on tour next year with Hardy?
Or with Morgan?
Yeah, we're going to be on tour all year next year with Morgan.
Are you podding still?
Do you still podcast?
This is me getting the toes wet again today.
This is gearing up.
I don't know what, there's not a plan in place for next year,
but if I was going to do it, it would be next year.
podcast me at the show the other night
as back when Ernest was really podcasting.
Damn.
They was like, yeah, I watched you all the time
back when Ernest had a podcast.
That's funny. If I come back, it would probably be called
Still Being Ernest.
Still being Ernest.
It just took a year and a half off. No reason.
Has it been a year and a half already?
It's been a year.
But by the time it comes back.
How busy you been? Yeah.
Dude, literally, it was like,
podcasting was already like the third thing on my
to-do list. And then when I had Riemann
and the world started spinning again, we're
touring and I've got to make records.
It's like, that was like fifth or sixth
down. I think next
year it'll make more sense
to be able to podcast at least some
like way more than I have been
but probably not as much as I was.
I would just probably set
something up on the bus. What you should do it?
Whether it's probably just, I could probably
just rant for 40 minutes and if I'm in
a cool city, have a guest
every now and then, I mean, whoever's on
on tour with us could come out and do an episode
like, yeah, it wouldn't look like it looked.
I wouldn't be doing it at Big Loud anymore.
It would just be like a, I don't know,
probably do something innovative.
You're running gun.
How many songs are you still turning in?
Nobody's doing them on buses.
No one.
No.
I don't think.
There's nobody in the market that's doing.
Nobody does something on a bus similar.
Someone's, but it was a van.
They did something on a van,
but they've never seen one on a bus.
Yeah, they did.
How many songs are you turning in right now a year?
Um.
I appreciate you.
taking leadership in this podcast, Jelly.
As a writer, we're talking about
what he's doing this year. I'm like, I'm just curious.
As a writer, maybe like
60.
Jesus, dog. That's still incredible.
That's fuck. I mean, it's like...
People are probably turning in... Actually, Groyley probably turned in 100.
Yeah, you got young hundred guys.
When you turn in songs, was that? Who was there?
I wrote a song, and I'm sending it into my publishing company
so they can log it. Yeah.
Gotcha, and that's where the catalog comes in. Yeah.
Yeah. And what they do is they pitch those songs, right?
Mm-hmm. But they take that song and they call, and they
call every country artist they know and go, hey, if they got one of the things, works for a certain
somebody.
Yeah.
You know, and they pitch it that way.
But it was, it's just perspective because I probably wrote 50 this year.
Yeah.
And I had to guess Ernest wrote 100.
So he turned in 60 and he probably had 20 or 30 for himself and 20 that he didn't turn
in because they suck.
Because we all have songs and just, you don't even turn in because you're not.
You're just like this song.
There's like a lot of first courses sitting around that.
Yeah.
When you, so why would you go and turn into, is it just to make money?
So if somebody takes your song, then you make money off of it.
Because if you're trying to think about your grind.
I separate that.
Oh, you do.
You keep the best for yourself in your mind.
And you got to turn them in anyways so they can be legally logged and all that published.
Yeah.
Why does a song need to be legally logged?
The record, Ernest, I'm not speaking for him, but Ernest doesn't keep the best songs for himself.
Ernest is really good about knowing what songs he should or shouldn't be a vessel for.
For his brand?
And that's a skill set, y'all don't understand in the room, man.
From an artist, writer perspective, like, it's hard.
Hardy's really good at it
of knowing like,
oh, this song's a fucking huge record,
but I'm not the guy to sing it.
You know what I mean?
Like, Ernest is really good
at looking at records and going,
because here's the deal.
We got to sing these forever.
You know how many people
stand on stage every year
and sing songs they fucking hate?
Oh, my God.
Because they picked them
because they knew it would be a hit in the moment.
Or somebody else picked it for them
and they're out there like
just fucking singing a song
they want to shoot themselves in the toe about.
Not without, listen,
I'm getting better about
being less like that.
I would dare to say that everybody's got maybe one of them.
Like, I probably got one that...
What's one that you hate?
Yeah, dude.
Cheers, I don't hate, but it's like,
it feels too fastball up the middle.
I know why people like it.
And that's why I get, like,
it's not a bad song at all,
but, like, it's one of those songs
that anybody could sing type of thing
where, like, a lot of the other songs on my project,
I would rather play the long ball sometimes.
And if I land on a super catchy radio song, awesome.
But I'm not like in the room writing for the catchy radio song.
I write what feels good.
And maybe it is catchy radio song.
But like, I don't know.
That's what he's saying at the beginning of a right,
whatever it's going or whatever it sounds like,
I'll have a pretty good idea whether I want it for myself or not.
And it's freeing, too, if I know from jump,
I'm not keeping it.
I'm just, I'm freestyle, whatever feels good, whatever sounds right.
If I'm writing it for myself, I'm a little more careful because I know I am going to have to be up there singing it.
And I won't make the mistake again, too.
Like, when I did cheers, I needed that.
I didn't really have anything that was really catchy or popping.
And so I was like, yeah, let's do it.
It makes sense.
But that wasn't even as rewarding.
Like, people sing it live, but it didn't stream crazy.
So I would have been fine living without it and still being artsy or whatever, artistic with my.
Yeah.
This is a fine line, right?
Being true to yourself, but also like getting enough fans.
You gotta play the game.
You gotta play the lifestyle you want to live.
Yeah.
So how does, this might be a difficult question.
It might not just be as like a straight line like I'm thinking.
But where you got, we're Ernest, where you are now,
if you want to get to Morgan Wallen status,
how does that, like, how does that process look in your mind?
Like, how would you go about doing that?
If you're like, oh, I want to sell out, I want to be a headliner at Nissan Stadium for CMAs.
Jeez.
Because you, because it's out.
If you think about you,
like you were voted number one writer in Nashville
this past year, correct?
Yeah.
Like you have all the time in the world.
You sound fantastic.
You can play a guitar.
Like you have all the tools.
Morgan has such a rabid,
rabid or rabid?
I think rabid.
I think there's a be in there.
Like rabies.
As a rabid fan base that you cannot fabricate
no amount of social media ploys or marketing schemes
can make a real fan base.
Like he's got,
I'm lucky enough to be.
able to get in front of them and if they rock with me and go with me from there that's awesome
my journey for that would be head down one day at a time and just keep grinding it's going to be
a long slow uphill thing and you know what dude you can be super successful and rich and never
experience the level at which Morgan's doing it as well like what he's doing is like like
Garth Brooks level, Taylor Swift.
It transcends what most people get to do in a lifetime.
How long has Morgan been playing, been in the spotlight?
I mean, dude, one was whiskey glasses.
It's been like 24 or five years.
Yeah.
But, I mean, he was on the voice before that.
Yeah, the way I called came out in 2014, I believe.
He's a kid that you can tell has been swinging the baddest whole lot.
He's done the whole grind every step of the way.
He didn't skip any steps.
That's been the cool part.
He didn't skip any steps.
all of it.
Because you look at him now and you're like, man, this dude just,
because if you're just a casual watchdog,
this dude came out of nowhere and all of a sudden he's taken over
because it's like, you have like these bands
and they kind of do their thing, they fizzle out,
but there's always someone to replace them.
And they're like, oh, this band came out of nowhere.
And you have no idea like the grind people are going on.
It's like comedians.
Yeah, for sure.
Or even podcasts.
Like, yeah, you got to start doing well.
And then you're like, oh, these guys are good.
And you have no idea.
Yeah, I don't like making compare, I don't like to be like,
it's just like what you all do,
but I try to compare things to, like, where you'll get it.
It's like that guy that, let's be honest, right?
I was not a Michigan fan or a huge college football fan.
I didn't know who this Taylor-Lawang guy was when we drafted him, right?
So, like, it looked to me, like, out of nowhere this just big burly boy came out of fucking Michigan.
Yeah.
And it's fucking the guy that we're betting our life on to fucking save our offensive line.
You're welcome.
Right?
Yeah.
You know how I feel about you.
Yeah, yeah.
I gave your flowers on and off camera.
You know what I think about you.
But I didn't know, right?
So I do my, to me, it's like, where the fuck is big dude?
You know, I'm fucking, you know, a corn-fed Texan come out of, right?
Yeah.
And then you go back and go, oh, no, he's a real fucking deal.
I watched four years of college film, and I'm like, oh, he's worth every penny.
We're paying him.
This is what we need.
This is the young energy the line needs, right?
But to a casual, it just looked like, you know, okay, here's some dude that probably started playing football six months ago, and it's just big.
And you're like, no, this is a dude.
It's been playing football his whole life.
Yeah.
That's, that's...
Most of us, me and my wife are talking about it last night.
I'm sure Ernest is like, yes.
I don't know what to do.
do when I'm not making music because it's
what I want to do. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Like who you are in a sense. It's like when you're
sitting at the house and you just all ate dinner and there's
that awkward silence and you're like,
I don't want to watch a movie. I want to write a song.
You know what I mean? It's like that shit's just
so ingrained in us from Go.
It's like, uh,
Ernest will be there in five years. Give me five years.
Here we go. Here we go. No,
no. This bit already exists.
You've seen, you've seen Walk Hard.
Yeah. Okay.
The most real thing in that
whole movie, bro, is when she's
saying she's like, yeah, I'm going to walk
and I'm going to walk hard. And he's like,
he looks up like,
and she's like, don't you dare write a song right now,
Dewee Cox, that shit happens all the time.
Yeah. Something happens. She'll say
something and I'm like, that's a great title.
Shut up. No, that's the time.
Okay, okay, okay, alright.
Yeah. Let me go wrong with that.
She did the other day. She was like, God,
because we're in the process of moving,
and we were cleaning out the house.
And she was like, God, we're probably going to haunt this house.
I was like, hold that thought.
I was trying to studio and wrote Haunt in this house.
And I was like, all right, I'll give you writer credit.
You're moving?
Mm-hmm.
What are you moving to?
You don't have to say it.
Is it far away from me?
Can you blur me out?
Yeah, we could do that.
Are you moving?
Because you live like five minutes away from me now.
I'll be 15 minutes away.
Damn.
Hard enough to get you over.
Oh, I'll be over there.
No problem.
I love that.
You got that game.
I'll come do that all the time.
That's so much fun.
That shit is fun, dude.
Listen, I'll come play the Switch one ever.
Yeah, that shit is.
I'm on the Xbox Switch, too, though.
I'm on the box.
I'm on the box.

Back to the episode.
How long do you play on Xbox?
I play anything.
Do you play Rocket League?
Yes, sir.
Hey, he'd be a phone Rocket League.
I'm not, my dude, my dude, Scarry Larry, shout out of my brother, scary.
He's, he's my Rocket League guy on the bus.
Yeah.
He takes everybody's money.
I'll bring him in one night to play with y'all.
All right, I'm done with that.
Like, my bus is set up like this.
If somebody shows up to play Madden, oh, we got the Madden guy.
Yeah.
Shows up to play hockey.
Oh, I got a thousand dollars on my hockey guy.
Yeah.
Somebody shows up wanting to play Rocket League?
Oh, I got $1,000 on the Rocket League.
Damn.
Yeah, we got a bus full.
We gamble on video games all night.
I did 101 shows this year.
Being, being on the road.
And gambling with your boys is a scary thing.
I got caught last night on the way back to L.A.
Playing boo with Derek Henry and Jeffrey Simmons.
Wow.
And they were playing against me.
Yeah.
They were playing against me.
I lost a lot of money.
Oh.
I did not do well.
You know, the most I've seen lost on a plane, it was like, like 150 to 250 grand.
It might have been a racpo.
A Rackpo or Trens.
Yeah.
You're putting them out there like that, huh?
Put Tret out there like that.
He's made a lot of money.
Trent's, yeah.
Trent's fucking.
Yeah.
They bet like that.
dude.
Trent Dillford?
Trent Williams.
Trent Dillford.
UAB.
Did we ever figure out the quad?
I know it just kind of went on a long tangent there,
but you were asking something about him and Morgan Wallen?
I was asking,
what does the process look like for him to be where Morgan is?
Now, this is not a shot at Morgan.
This is a question to become that big.
Is there a level of I've got to,
and this is a tough word,
sell out a little bit in a certain way.
No.
To get the fans I need.
In fact, not selling out.
The lack of it, yeah.
Not selling it.
What's happening right now in Music Row,
I'll say to stuff that Ernest can say,
but I'll get in a lot less trouble than he will for saying it,
is people actually give a fuck.
Like there's an authenticity finally happening in country music
that is like, you know, it's not,
listen, I've said this and be very clear.
Music Row has always been like Build a Bear.
Right?
Right?
They literally just go and find a guy.
They get a lady to style them up, put them in clothes.
They hand them a cowboy hat.
Ernest gives them a hit record.
They hand them a fucking Gibson guitar fucking, you know what I mean?
And they set them on stage.
And then they put them up.
And then some dudes you don't know that has 80 streams is opening up for an amphitheater
act, direct support, and boring your fucking lights out for 45 minutes singing songs you don't fucking know.
That was me two years ago.
He's fucking, it's like a bit, like he was the bill to bear.
Yeah.
You know, he was so.
And now they're real.
Yeah, it's a complete manufactured thing.
And now it's like, these boys are doing what the fuck they want to do.
And they're saying what they want to say.
And they're acting the way they want to act.
And they're unapologetically.
Dude, there was a time when country music artist would apologize for smoking pot.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And it's like, I had to apologize at Madison Square Garden.
Yeah, it's like, is you?
There's no smoking in here.
It's apparently like a $20,000 smoking fee.
Yeah, fucking, but...
I didn't know.
Yeah.
I didn't know.
Hey, I'm telling you.
Can you imagine that?
Like, just fucking, like, you would have to...
You're a fucking...
We're not talking about an athlete.
Right.
We're not talking about a race car driver.
Mm-hmm.
We're talking about a dude that sits around,
dicks around and writes fucking bustin with the boys jingles.
Yeah.
That's the fucking ye smokes weed.
Yeah.
What a lot of time and effort to that.
walk in. Let me tell you something. Sober jelly never walks into a room like, somebody
handmade guitar. I want to show you something I've been working on. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fucking, high jelly is like, hey, can I play guitar? Yeah. Can I see a guitar in the corner? I got something.
You know what I mean? It's like, of course fucking, yeah, no, there's no, not selling out as,
what, Zach, Zach Bryan was probably the second most dreamed artist in country music this year.
He's like number 26 on country radio right now and publicly has said he doesn't want to be on country radio.
Yeah. Why?
He, the son-out, he just someone to say, dude, dude has his own lane and his own position,
and it's awesome, and he doesn't need to be anything else.
Like, that, that mentality is what makes him dope, and people rally behind it because
they feel like they're hoisting him, and it's not like a label and it's not him.
And it is real. They are hoisting him, and it's all happening organically.
I mean, hold on good on country radio.
Amen.
Amen.
Yeah.
Good on country radio.
radio to say, hey, man, you know what?
We're going to separate the artist from the art here.
This song is incredible for our listeners.
Yes.
Right?
Which is the same risk that country radio took on me.
Right?
When they were like, look, man, we know this kid's got a history of this or this and he's
known for this.
But this song is incredible.
Yeah.
And people need to hear it.
You know what I mean?
It's like good for them for that.
And what's happening is that now the whole business is opening up to wild shit.
Like guys like Jellyroll can get into country music.
You know what I mean?
Like this is, it's going to be a.
paradigm shift.
You'll see paradigm shifts throughout the history of country music, like how the 90s came
out of the 80s and how the 90s went into the early 2000s.
And you look at music and eras.
Yeah.
I think that the early 2020s will kind of be remembered as this era, how Morgan Wallin figured
it out.
Wild cards.
And how jelly, it's going to be the Wild Card era.
That's fucking what they should call.
We should coin it now.
It's the wild card era.
It used to be in the Country Music Hall of Fame in 10 years was this was the Wild Card
era.
Yeah.
It was like everybody who's fucking, but Midland.
Come on, you met them dudes.
They don't look, you know, like,
their country is collard greens,
but they're fucking far out, as the guy would say.
You know, they're in their fucking,
they're in their own thing, you know?
And we're in that era right now
where guys like Hardy are doing rock records too.
Yeah, the number one rock song on Sirius this year.
Yeah.
Hardy did?
Sorry.
Yeah.
Where were you, number two?
I think I was number three.
That's what I was crazy, though.
Like, Hardy's out here.
That is wild.
It was, you know.
I did in two to someone not.
And not to minimize any of your ability at all,
like talking about the Morgan thing,
but sometimes you just can't process,
you can't process your way to, to it.
Like, Morgan also vocally is just,
I tell you this.
I knew.
Sometimes you just got it.
Like, you can work hard as fuck,
but if you have it with it,
like, you're just gonna, you're gonna be there.
You're gonna be fucking it.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
It's like trying to take,
it's like trying to take some of your abilities
and like some left tackle
and aspiring left tally like Tara Lawan
that just not,
they just,
they genetically,
just they'll work as hard as fuck
but they just can't get to a certain level because
there's something that it's God given with certain
people that they just got.
You know what I mean? Like I'm sure you wish at times like you might
be writing. I'm right now. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't want to minimize it.
I don't know exactly. I'm sure there's times where you're
right and you're like there's a selfless
part. There's an awareness aspect that you're like this is
going to be perfect for like I wish I could
sound like this motherfucker because that's just rode a banger
right now. That's what I love about fucking
dude. I love writing with M for Morgan
because it is
it is fun
when I have something
I know that is going to sound
awesome with his voice
like you can tailor man
and when he's in the room too
it's hard to write a bad song
with the guy who sings like that
because it's like
even if it's a shitty song
when he sings it back
it's like sounds like a Morgan Wallin record
yeah yeah yeah yeah
sounds like a hitter dude
in his last album
I think you might have said this to me
but what percentage of
Morgan's last album did you write?
I think I have a number in my head.
Well, if it wasn't a 30
song album, but it was
only, I think it was a third, a third of the album.
Wow.
He says that like the casual number.
Yeah.
No, it's, no, I'm only...
Yeah.
It was 11.
It was 11.
Yeah.
And there's no, there's no, like,
I don't know what the right word.
Like, I guess jealousy, if, for lack of a better word,
when you write something for him,
and you see him having the success?
Is there a feeling at you at all?
No, I'm going to trip in side stage,
seeing him sing our song,
like a song I wrote or we wrote,
every night it is always just as rewarding.
You're like, you just remember when it started
as a little baby song in a room with a couple people,
and then it's like, oh, there's 35,000 people singing everywhere.
All boats float bubble.
All boats float back.
Was it rising tide?
It's like all boats float.
You know what I mean?
It's like all boats float.
That's the biggest side of that.
All boats floating, too.
That's that real friendship.
It's like, anytime I do something big in my life,
Struggle Jennings is one of the first people to text me.
Ernest is one of the second one.
You're always in the top ten.
You're always quick, thank you for that for real.
Absolutely.
I do like giving the flowers.
Both of them.
You know, they see so cool.
He'll be the first guy to be like,
yo, fucking Taylor LeWan here.
Fucking Tom Brady Super Bowl.
Yeah.
He's like, we start here.
Tom Brady.
I always announce who he is.
He's a three-time pro bowler.
He goes, oh, thanks.
No, man.
And I'm just like, I fucking know Taylor.
Yeah, I know.
But that's what you're supposed to do.
It's supposed to be like, yeah, yeah.
It's like, I've hit you.
When I see something big happen on the bus, I'm like, that's big.
Yeah.
Let's fucking go.
You know what I mean?
Like, I'll hit a motherfucker like you want to see your homies win
because all boats float.
Y'all's podcast blowing up the last two years.
I'm sure he knows it.
That's done great for fucking us.
Yeah.
If you hadn't heard us that we're a frequented guest,
you know how many people?
And y'all got a fan base like, I got a fan base.
I was going to say,
you can't ride, man.
Yeah.
I mean, like,
celebrities from this podcast alone.
Literally.
They're people who stop you.
Like, I know when somebody has a real fan base
when they stop you and go,
dude,
I see you with the boys.
Yeah.
Fucking boys, man,
what's up with playoff,
Willie?
You know,
because the best part is they think you're like,
with me?
You have those guys who are like,
I'm fucking Wilson here.
People were all the time.
I was in California yesterday.
And people were like,
hey, where's Will?
I'm like, oh, it's right here.
Oh, it's right here.
Yeah.
Oh, actually, come on.
Oh,
Oh,
like you fucking play.
Are you with Morgan?
Are you with Hardy?
No, I'm all with my family.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, man, it's crazy.
I want to hear his voice.
The podcast is wild.
Because, like, just being in SoFi Stadium,
I was with, like, walking with, like,
walking, dude.
People have that, that banner that's right there,
the boys.
People are to toting that thing.
No, they carry a flag like it's for a football.
It's awesome, dude.
It's not the most massive fan base in the world,
but they are awesome.
No, it's brick by brick with these dudes,
and it's fucking, the foundation is incredible.
Yeah.
I called them to the,
this day, I still call my fan base the Mighty 300.
Yeah.
Like, we are Sparta.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I really did it for like those small fan bases.
Yeah, for real.
That's a group.
It's like, if you look at monthly listeners,
Mm-hmm.
I got probably one of the smaller monthly listeners
in country music, but I
outstream 50, 60, 70% of country music
with less listeners.
That just shows me to...
They're playing your shit over and over.
Like, if you listen to jelly, you listen to jelly.
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm your guy.
You know, that's how it's with the boys.
Like, if you watch bussing with the boys, you fucking watch busing with the boys.
You know what I'm saying?
For sure.
It's like, you know, and that's that, you can't ask for a better.
I would, I'll take mine over a pop culture look anytime.
Yeah.
Like that influx of a bunch of people that come in because something, you know what I mean?
Like, I'm cool with all that.
They ain't going to fade just when it's not sizzling, hot popping.
Yeah.
Something early, I can't let slide, though, Will.
When you told Ernest that sometimes you see where you're going, but you don't clear
to see the path, but you know where you're heading, right?
That was the bridgestone moment for me.
Circle back.
It was like, I didn't, I, dude, I walked in that center when it was the Somey Center.
I'll never forget to open a night's the predator.
Somay Center.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
I didn't even know that.
What was it called?
It was called the Somey Center first, and then it was called the Gaylord Entertainment Complex.
I thought it was Gaylord first and then So May.
No, I think it was in reverse.
You're right.
But.
You're right.
Yeah.
No, no.
It's not wanting to argue.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
No, I think you are right.
Immediately, you would know.
You would know better than me.
I think it was it.
Phil Bredesel was our mayor.
It was 1996 when they announced it.
I remember that it was a year Tupac died.
Big year, my life was a young man.
We had a reen and Tupac died.
I was four.
That was growing.
I was five.
I went to the Olympics in Atlanta with my parents.
I was on a dog leash.
Yeah.
Yes, bro.
I hate those.
I hate when I see that shit
walking around the mall and stuff like that.
Little kids on leashes.
You can bring them back real quick.
Yeah, but I never knew how I'd get there.
Earn was buying a real...
That's cool of shit, dude.
Like, literally...
Probably not a kid in Nashville
because you need to see, like,
the creative side of people.
And it's amazing how, like, this...
Well, when people say the cliche,
oh, it's a melting pot,
it truly is when you're able to get kind of
through a couple of barriers.
and get into like very extremely creative people's lives like the two of you
and just experience it.
Like there's not a better feeling than when you guys send me your music.
When you send me, hey, I would listen to this real quick.
I'll legit put that shit on my hype.
And then low key, I'm telling me, hey, you heard Jellie's new song?
No, you have it.
Yeah.
I'm like, do you not get hype about that?
Yeah, absolutely.
You feel like you're part of like an inclusive crew.
You really do.
It's a incredible record today.
I had to add a call Ernest out on Twitter to get the record.
I had to be like he fucking.
Yeah?
He did.
He was like, he was like, he was like,
I said I just got the masters.
He was like, I'm surprised I got this in the text or something like that.
And immediately, I hit them and said very few things could interrupt our friendship.
You need to straighten this out.
That's why I said the other ten songs.
And that came from the top.
So I was like, those other ten songs are fire.
Are they really?
Yeah, they're fire, fire, fire.
Is it storyline-esque, like this storyline-esque, soaked in steel?
There's a couple love songs of hope and dreams.
and then some sad songs and then a funny song or two.
Got a really cool tempo, though.
The album's got a cool flow.
Ernest is really fine and what Ernest does.
Yeah.
That's dope.
So what's next for Jelly then?
You did Bridgestone.
You conquered a giant mountain.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
We're on our way up.
We still getting this side of the mountain.
Yeah.
We're still over here, thankfully.
We dropped she and need a favor right here at the end of the year.
she was something I just needed to get off my chest.
I don't know if you heard it,
but it's a real deep cut about addiction.
Every song I ever wrote about addiction
when my child's mother first got hooked on heroin
was an anger.
Like addiction kills the song I wrote.
I was always just really spoke about it
from a mad perspective.
I wanted to write about it from the other perspective,
like the heartfelt side of like,
damn, man, I can't believe you let yourself get like that.
And I think it took her coming out of that.
that and getting sober for me to kind of remember.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
But she was important.
Need of favor is our next single.
I got a country album coming out.
My next album will be country and I'll have a rock album, do some rapping after that.
Yeah.
Because you do say you're like, hey, I've been putting out some country music, but don't get
a twist it.
I can still rap.
I can still rap.
No, I got something cooking.
I got something.
Do you fight with that in your head at all ever?
Like, damn.
Because country music is banging for you right now.
These singles you're putting out, when you're singing, people are like, holy shit.
Do you ever feel slighted?
Like, hey, I can, my shit is rap.
too. I can do that. Is there ever like a battle you're playing in your head?
Yeah, it's always the competitive side of the sport.
Yeah. Like hip hop is such a competitive driven thing that there's, like sometimes you just want to go back and see if you still got.
Like you hear stuff. And the cool thing about rapping is me and Ernest will send each other stuff that inspires me.
Like that kid Simba that always send Ernest. I don't know if you checked him out, but he's incredible.
We had a record come out of shirt that was nuts or Millie's the white guy out of Boston.
Like I'll hear them and be like, oh, I can still do that.
do that, though. And you're tempted, but I just love the impact that the music's making now.
You know what I mean? Like, I don't want anything to take away from. The new album is, like,
super introspective, like all my records are, but this is, like, a growing record for me.
Like, my next album is going to be almost, like, drawing a line in the sand to a degree of, like,
you'll see the growth as a man. Like, even the songs I'm writing right now are just super,
We joked about some Jesus stuff earlier,
but it's like, I'm in a really grateful spot.
I mean, y'all can tell I'm more laid back than normal.
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm going to really humble, like,
I just can't believe, dude.
You know, I've just had the wildest year of my life.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, ultimately, I don't, I'm still trying to process
and wrap my head around what the fuck happened this year.
You know, like, dude, I've been watching clips from the bridgestone
like a kid at night.
There's on my phone.
I can't believe if that was me.
One of my favorite things,
though from that night.
And that's one of those nights where you don't remember a lot.
It's like a wedding.
You referenced that that night.
Yeah.
But I vividly remember Taylor coming out and going,
dude,
I'm so proud of you.
This is a big fucking deal.
He was like,
I knew it was a big deal,
but me and Will didn't realize
how big of a deal it was
until we pulled in the arena.
And I felt that because I didn't either.
Like you're promoting it and you're like,
dude, I sold out the bridgestone.
And then you walk in and you're like,
oh, this fucking dude,
sold out the bridge stone.
Dude, and the way you were talking,
when you texted us like,
what, Tuesday?
You know, hey, man, having this show at Bridgestone
would love for you guys to come.
In my head, I'm like, man, if I can make it,
I'd love to go to that.
But then you get there and you're like,
damn, if I didn't come to this,
I would have felt like,
I would have never understood
how big of a deal this was
because you were so laid back
about that situation.
I could tell you this.
I will tell you something
that's super inside baseball.
I didn't text nobody
and invite them, but y'all.
That's a...
Y'all are my only friends
that I knew was like,
they might not even know this is happening.
I was like,
when you call that,
had no clue. I was like, hey, my wife's out of town.
And the funny thing, the whole city was bossing about it.
Everybody knew, by Tuesday or Wednesday, I was like,
I bet they don't have a clue.
We really had no idea.
We were together, like, because Charles was at a town.
You were over like Thursday night.
I was doing you when that phone call was.
You're like, hey, Baba.
Hey, Baba.
I sold out the Bridgestone Arena.
It's probably going to be the biggest night of my life.
I love for you guys to be there.
You're in the boys.
We're off the red carpet.
Whatever you guys need.
I guess so.
They're both fans out of town.
I'm a free agent.
I texted
Luan, I had to call comp.
I was like, yo, like, fuck,
I really appreciated him.
They didn't be there.
Yeah.
I was like, this is a big deal.
Playing it down, too.
Well, I thought what I was like,
we sold out the bridge stone,
but I know how much on the trees
and you're trying to get your
moment.
You were dialed in.
That is the coolest moment because like
when you all trying to clean it
over the rail jelly.
Bro, like massive like
vangles, bro.
Hey, I can't hear you.
I can't hear you.
But,
you're like,
I'm trying to remember words.
Dude, it is crazy because when you're like,
when you're playing a sport and people are yelling at you trying to get your attention,
you're kind of like so locked into what you're doing,
when you walked off that stage,
you were from me to you right now.
And we're like, yo, jelly, jelly!
And you fucking beeline to that cart sat down so damn quick
and y'all were fucking out there.
I was so stressed.
I wasn't going to make it.
I looked at Will.
I looked at Will.
I go, he's got a shit right now.
There's no way.
Where the fuck's he going?
Because last time you were on the pot,
you're like, I got to shoot you just left.
You got to be walked out.
Because y'all brought me on here fucking hung over with Arning.
Oh, yeah.
And all of a sudden, you're on the other side.
I'm like, damn, this dude's just in his fucking bag right now.
Just going after it.
You know, the fight that broke out?
Could you see the fight?
No, you were telling us about that, though.
Before we get to the fight, I got to say something funny.
I didn't think about this tonight.
Taylor said that.
That exact same thing happened to me in Buffalo.
Really?
You know, I was out on the field in Buffalo the night that you got hurt.
Oh, I had no idea.
I was in Buffalo on the field.
I was pregame on the field.
And you ran right.
by me and I was like, oh, my boy is in full-blown fucking football mode.
Isn't that crazy?
It was also fucking Buffalo, so it was like I couldn't screaming.
You weren't going to hear me no way.
Yes, so damn wild.
My only hope was that you just turned a little right.
Right.
Were you on the field?
Yeah.
That's wild.
Yeah, I was on the field.
I came out for the, dude, fucking funnest night of tour this year.
We're looking at, we're going to.
Bill's Mafia.
Dude, Bill's Mafia.
It gets even better.
There's a bar called the Prohibition.
Uh-huh.
that's in the parking lot of the Bill Stadium.
In the fucking parking lot, the corner of the parking lot, right?
They're like, oh, we fucking love Jelly.
They let me park three buses there.
So we pull in at like...
And plug in and everything.
Right, I didn't have a plug.
But they let us pull in.
They completely cleared their parking lot of all their tailgators.
Long-term tailgators.
People have been paying the tailgate here for years.
Clear it, let us park.
The best day of that tour for me was I wake up at probably 11 o'clock that morning
to hearing people,
raging outside of the bus.
Raging.
Keeping out it was Monday night fucking football.
The game was not going to start for eight hours.
They canceled school.
Dude.
Oh, wow.
Isn't that crazy?
They canceled school.
No, dude, they were,
they were, I mean, at noon,
they were doing flips off of the,
they had a, like a party bus like this.
Yeah.
We're doing flips off the top of it through tables.
At noon, we got smash.
Shout out Bill's Mafia, dear.
We got a smack.
I was fucking drunk, dude.
Shout out Bill's Mafia.
We got a smack drunk.
Listen, you wouldn't have wanted to talk to me that day anyways.
I was fired up.
I couldn't believe it let me on a field.
I was just drunk, sweating.
I had been drinking all day with the Bill's Mafia people talking shit.
I'm wearing all tight and shit.
Amy stopped to say hi to me.
No way.
That was cool.
Yeah.
That was super cool.
Hey, there is no, there's a great feeling you get when you wake up in the morning.
You don't know what that day is going to bring to you.
But then all of a sudden, someone's in a vibe.
It's like, you know, let's have some drinks.
And you're like,
Yes.
Okay.
Turns out this is what I'm doing.
Burt Kreischer has an incredible, like, his speech he did on Sunday conversations.
I've seen that's the most, that's Denzo-Washington-level speech.
Do we want a Mosas?
Well, actually, it's bottom-simosis.
You think, oh, this is going to be the best day of our lives.
There really is.
The white Denzo Washington.
I miss that.
There's our title.
We got two old now.
Jesus was a celebrity.
Yeah.
Bert Croucher is a white.
White Denzel.
He definitely made me want to have a morning cocktail.

episode.
Yeah, he really is.
You were going to talk about the fight that broke out at Jelly's
council.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Just during flower shops, the least
fight provoking, so it wasn't like we were
playing tear the club up.
Yeah.
Flower Shop.
I get verse chorus.
Jelly sings his verse.
We're going to chorus.
And then it's like, I'm getting distracted because I see
a circle forming and people are like,
hey, hey, hey, hey.
They're pointing.
And in this day and age, you got a check.
I didn't know if, you know,
you know, passed out or OD or what.
Right.
And then it's like, oh, it's a fight.
This guy's just scrapping on this guy.
His homies are getting down in there.
He's like, I know rail don't need to be done in this.
He's talking to Ralph on the microphone.
I'm like, Real, please get out of there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's so funny.
And I'm just stuck in between the chorus and the bridge.
And I'm just like, there's clearly a fight happening right here.
And I was like, fucking.
Mr. Alta, you're old.
Bad business.
It doesn't matter.
That actually makes me feel better.
I feel like you can't be in a jelly roll concert with that mix,
that mix of all the people.
people there, like, people that do not hang out, ever.
They're all hanging out at general discussion.
There's no doubt that there's going to be a fight that.
I'm not proud of what I'm fixing to say.
Yeah.
Band of fucking missisps out there walking like, hey, this is, you know,
at my stage.
I'm not proud of what people probably want to beat us up.
But they said more people got arrested after that concert
than any concert in Nashville history.
That is worth a clap.
That is worth a clap.
And I'm not proud of this, but I heard this from the actual,
the police department.
because Scoop Nashville was covering it
and they were tagging me in all this wild shit.
They said that it almost got that bad
that the Jacksonville guy, Scoop was,
and they were just firing me up.
Listen, my favorite one was the girl that was like,
she ended up getting arrested
just because she was so drunk
she didn't even know where she was going.
Did y'all see that story?
I tried to bail her out,
but she had already got out.
Oh, really?
Me and my wife tried to get her.
She had the saddest story ever.
She was just like, I was just trying to get arrested?
No, no, no.
Oh, I was just saying,
this is the same thing.
Perfect picture of all the people.
I mean, this is your audience.
Just scrolling the whole thing is your audience.
Yeah, for sure.
I mean, like, JP's dad was trying to buy a ticket to come down.
Oh, we'd have got him.
Eric Henry hit me up, and he was like, hey, my dad wants to go to the concert.
This is crazy.
All right.
Scroll back up, scroll up, scroll up.
Scroll up right there.
To the left, to the left.
That girl right there.
She's the one.
Read a little bit of that.
Well?
So the best part, no, you don't have to read it out loud.
Listen, listen.
You don't read that you'll be here for a minute.
She was unable to name her hotel so she could get transgender.
transported there and was eventually taken into custody for public intoxication.
When informed of her charges, Carter explained that she was just enjoying her night after the
jelly roll concert and she was not driving so she couldn't be charged with public intoxication.
They took her to jail because she was just so drunk she didn't know where to go.
I got no idea where I'm going or where I'm going.
She's like, I don't know.
They were like, well, take you to your hotel.
She's like, I don't know where I'm staying.
Yeah.
I don't know where I'm going, but I know I just came from the jelly roll concert.
I didn't know where I did.
Look where they put Mark safe from going to jail after the jail.
Jelly Roll concert, Nashville, Tennessee.
That is fucking awesome.
That is an odd badge of honor.
You're going to have a studio to record the album in now.
Thanks for jelly roll.
Whatever her name is.
Killer holler at us, we tried to bail her out.
That's hilarious.
That's so good.
I mean, dude, the variety of your fan base is incredible.
I looked up everybody who got arrested and tried to make some balls.
Somebody was just chasing somebody around the concert.
Like a guy and a girl just probably fighting over whose favorite song was what.
You're going to jail.
No, it was a night I'll live forever, man.
Yeah.
No doubt.
New album.
I don't know what we'll do next for Nashville.
I want to do what that was annually.
I really do have a five to 10 year plan on how I want to build halfway houses for children to come out of.
Because a lot of the time, these kids come out of juvenile and they go right back to the environment.
It's not really conducive for them changing.
So I want to get them into places where they can receive love and, you know.
Make it possible to move forward.
forward.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like, because the problem is,
even if we do start the rehabilitation in there
and have an aftercare program,
you put that kid right back in that same house.
Yeah.
You become a proxy for situations.
You know what I mean?
It's like we got to find a way
to completely change the narrative.
New playgrounds, new playmates is what they would say, you know?
So I got a real plan,
and I think the way I'm going to be able to do it
is just hopefully continue to build these Nashville shows.
Next year, maybe do two nights.
You know what I mean?
And just continue to try to build on.
Yeah, just to try to build on.
But, you know, Morgan did three.
so God willing we can do too
But I just want to be in a place where we can
I want to use that as my platform to build
Yeah
And if you're doing, are you planning to donate everything always?
Every time.
Every single time, even if you're in a pinch.
I just, man, if I get in a pinch, I fucked up bad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, I fucked up really, really, which not saying I'm above it.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But not today.
But with the mindset I have right now,
it will be okay.
You know what I'm saying?
If you're doing that, I'm sure you can get, I mean, you already have so many friends in the business.
You can get so many people that come and do.
You need more going to go out there.
Well, that's the goal.
He's not in a pinch.
It might be after that, but he's going for this.
It is dope.
He's still wearing jellies.
I've been rocking.
He's going on this.
That thing is nice.
That's the goal, though, man.
I just want to, I just really, I want to have an impact.
I want to help the kids, man.
I want to start at a community level and doing it.
I want to be, that's what I want to be, you know, remembered for.
I want to help in any way with that, too.
I know we talked about doing some stuff, too, with Logans and whatnot we will,
but any of that stuff, I'm down to go out and shit.
I'll go play some country songs for them kids.
What I want you to go freestyle with them?
I'll go for you.
Lunch table beat freestyle and doing it all day.
Line it up, kids.
I'll come freestyle any day.
What I want to do is create a monthly program in there where I bring my friends
through in like one month, get Taylor and the boys to come in the lead up a workshop
about, you know, athleticism.
And I want it to be really, I don't want it to be preachy.
You know what I mean?
Like, when I go in there, what we do now is Robert Sherrill and the Impact Youth Outreach,
which is who we partner with through all this process, will take us up to the unit.
So we'll go up to where the kids are.
And instead of talking to 30-alm at a time, we'll go up for two hours and spend 30 minutes with 7 to 10-em at a time.
Yeah.
You know, but, you know what I mean?
And really go sit down and get to really sit down at the table.
So, man, what's your story?
Yeah.
You know, and it's really kind of, it's just showing them love, man.
Not preaching out.
They don't need to be scared straight.
They don't give a fuck.
I'm done scared these kids.
They aren't here for attempting to.
homicide, dude, don't give a fuck about somebody coming here and threatening them.
Yeah.
You're going to lose the rest of your life.
I're like, dude, I wasn't supposed to do anything in my life anyways.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Because that's how I felt.
You know, it's totally how I felt.
So when you have a motherfucker come in and look at the first time I went in,
they had the YouTube pulled up and they were watching like their favorite YouTubers.
First time I went in there, I spent my whole 30 minutes with that group just watching
YouTube with them, asking them why they liked and what they thought of it.
And then stopping it and going, you know, you know, this channels is probably going
going to make a million dollars this year.
you know what I mean?
Like just pointing out stuff they never thought about.
You know what I mean?
I'm like,
the dude who edited this channel
is probably going to make $100,000.
You know what I mean?
There are opportunities.
There are opportunities, right?
Because, you know, it's just a dude with a camera.
Actually now more than ever.
More than ever.
More than ever.
But they don't, they've never seen opportunity.
You know, you can't judge.
What they did is wrong and, you know,
you've got to correct it,
but you can't expect somebody who's never seen success
to understand that it's possible to have it.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
It's not, and they haven't even seen nobody.
They haven't had a me.
They haven't had an earnest or a will or even a blouse.
They haven't even had a cool blas come in.
Yeah.
And just go, hey, dude, I'm not against y'all.
You know what I mean?
You know.
You should do more.
You know, you know, but you get what I'm saying.
Like, you come, like, it would mean so much just to have somebody from that community come and just be like, hey, man, we're not against you.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, you know, that's what they need love, man.
And that's all I want to.
I want to bring a lot of love to it.
And I want to go to every facility in the state of Tennessee and build it big.
I got a $40-50 million plan here.
I love that, dude.
You're a good, good dude, Joe.
Will and I, I mean, I was a horrible human for 12 years.
I'm definitely, I'll do whatever you need me to do.
I'm not sure how much are you going to bring to the table.
I can't sing.
No, I'm telling you all, but they don't, because not everybody's going to be a singer.
Not everybody's going to be a basketball player.
Not everybody, you know, somebody's got to be a barber.
Yeah.
But the dude who cuts my hair makes a quarter million dollars a year plus.
You know what I mean?
It's like, yeah, a hell of a barber.
Well, he owns a barber shop, and he's learned how to vertically integrate the business.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
But, you know, I was just a regular dude that just picked up a set of shears and treated it like a craft.
He loves it.
He's like the barber dude that has the barber shit.
Shout out to Landon.
But I don't know if you know Landon, but he's the sharpest boy.
He's the motherfucker.
What's funny about that?
I don't know Landon.
Chill out.
The way Ernest went, hmm.
Yeah.
Hey, show up to Landon.
Mm.
You know, Lennon?
Mm-mm.
That was so fucking funny
That's how in his conversational bag, dude
Ernest is funny
He was looking for a barber joke
No
Hair cutting
I got nothing
I got nothing
Shout out Chris West though
Is that your barber
No free shot
Yeah I like Chris
You ain't had a haircutting ears
What's your real name?
Ernest Keith Smith
He goes
You
Bradley D Ford
Jason Bradley D. Ford?
Yes, sir.
D Ford?
D Ford.
That's a cool-ass name.
D.
He isn't a dog.
He isn't Edward Ford like the truck
with a capital left.
D. Ford.
I was just thinking when everyone's like,
you're a good dude,
Jilly role.
I'm just thinking like, man,
I don't even know this dude's name for real.
Yeah, we're boys.
I don't even...
Like, he's known for Jelly.
It's jelly, bro.
I'll always call you jelly.
Everybody will.
Like, people go out of their way
to talk about, oh, hey,
I listen to Jelly's new stuff.
And it's like, that's fucking awesome.
Your fan base is crazy, man.
It's just wild.
fan base does me, it makes me feel better.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
See, do you mind being called Jason?
Like, when people call me Keith, if they knew me as Keith back in the day and still
call me Keith, it's endearing.
But if somebody just met me as earnest, find out my first name, or middle name's
Keith, and they start calling me Keith.
I'm like, you don't let me like that.
Yeah, no.
Do you feel that way about Jason?
I don't know.
I never think.
Not many people call me Jason.
Right.
It started becoming a thing.
Yeah, it's like Jay or, but I've been, my mama calls me jelly.
Yeah, right.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's like my mama made.
Yeah, for sure.
It's like my mama called.
Like, I don't.
You were jelly like from the beginning.
I am less likely to turn around if you say Jason.
Yeah, right.
You know what I mean?
Like, I just assume you're not talking to me almost.
You know what I'm saying?
Even in this room right now.
Yeah.
So I'd be like, hey, Jason, I'd go, oh, well, fuck.
I was only eight people in here.
I'm the only Jason.
I know.
I know everybody else's name.
What's up?
Yeah.
I don't even, you know what I mean?
I'm so used.
But I guess if we're just having like real talk.
I hope that one day I probably move into Jason or Jay.
Really?
Yeah.
Why is that?
What, dude, I'm getting old, man.
How old are you?
You know what I'm 38, man.
Will's learning out the basic information of jelly today.
I'm with you.
I'm glad you're asking.
When he talks about jelly being a good, like, I just,
and it's like the only example I have thinking of you,
but you were doing music with Lil White,
and I was fucking in middle school and high school.
Yeah.
Little White threw a joint on stage while I was up there.
And you are good.
dude. And I think in my brain you're a good dude now. Yeah.
Because you went to prison. You were a juvie kid. I never listened to
rap. You were a type of dude. Like I, you know, you think you're like your parents don't want like,
hey, don't be hanging around. Yeah. And they were right. You've truly made such a turn that it's like,
it's incredible. Yeah. No. You should be insanely proud. No, thank you. You really should.
For the first time of my life, I really am. Yeah, good. Like, I've never been more proud.
Like, I've always had an asterisk by everything. And it's like, this is the first year. I was like,
And I'm, like, really, like, proud of who I've become, like, of the man.
Like, dude, I was a bad dude, man.
I was a really less than admirable human for a long time.
Like, I was a, I did, I did nothing to help my community.
I did everything I could to kill it.
I did everything I could to bring drama to stuff.
I was always in the middle of shit.
I was angry.
I was mad at the world.
I felt like I had a point to prove.
Dude, I've been in more fittest fights than I'm care of share.
Not proud of it.
Just like, I was the fat dude that you.
just immediately fought people.
Yeah.
He's fat.
We're just fighting right.
Then I'm hitting you.
Right.
We're just,
like, I fought so much in my life.
Someone's just about your mom.
Immediately.
It wasn't even now.
It's like,
oh, fuck,
we'll talk about each other's mom.
Whatever.
Like, you know.
Yeah.
I just wasn't a good person either.
I just had a bad spirit about me.
And I just needed to change that.
Bailey.
Yeah.
My daughter being born.
Remember because you were in prison, right?
I was in true.
Remember the first time he was talking about that.
Yeah.
First time I ever told my floor was over by where the bus used to be.
Yeah.
True story.
The first time I ever told my story on a public platform was on this podcast.
Ernest put us in a text together.
Yeah.
Well, you had came in that.
I remember hearing about you before that, like, right when our podcast first started,
buddy from Titan motoring was like, oh, you got to hear this guy, Jelly.
He's in Nashville.
He's like loves the boys.
Tighten motoring.
Oh, I got to go there.
No, hey, and you're right, too.
People would talk about that.
They're not there anymore.
I actually ever saw you in person was that Caleb Plans fighting Bridgestone.
And I was thinking like, oh, that's the dude.
Like, that's scary looking dude.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like just having no clue about jelly at all.
Right.
No, we move different, too, so we tend to get seen.
We move like we got intentions, that's for sure.
No, it's just, it's really cool, man.
It really is.
It's been a good year, man.
And I'm glad we got to come back and recap it.
Yeah, I'm glad to.
Because that was the highlight of my night
was seeing y'all after the show.
Really?
Dead ass.
Because we were talking about it probably throughout the whole,
that little party after the show.
Like, do we go see him?
Do we not go see him?
We were like, we got to see them.
I was like, you know.
We got to go say hello, but we want to be like good about it.
The part was he sat there and thought that all night and then looked at Big Chihu, Big Maui, my dude, y'all know.
Look at Big Moward and said, hey, man, you take me to jail?
And I was like, yeah, come on, Bubba.
Yeah, yeah.
Why did not just do that fucking 30 minutes ago?
That's so funny.
I love me.
It's cool, bro.
Shout out to Big Maui, man.
It's cool, too, like.
Maui's going to be a daddy.
When you just hear somebody's parent.
Like, JP saying his dad wanted to go buy a ticket.
Like, just knowing a just a person like that, you just think, oh, it's really.
They got put on jelly and they like it because that's not, it's just not a combination you would ever.
No, my people in Arizona are like that.
Yes.
I'm kind of shy about it because it felt like, I'm telling you, I know it sounds like a weird comparison, but I never went to high school.
Right?
So I never experienced, like, having that kind of a moment in life where you felt like, you know, I never even had a big birthday party.
You know what I mean?
Like, I wasn't, people didn't come to my birthday party.
That was your night to be celebrated, you know, like, it was like your whole week to be celebrated.
Yeah.
Half they weak, Doug.
We were standing there just in all, bro.
Like, man, legit phones out like this.
Just sitting in moments.
No, it's like people, like, people taking their time out of their life to be,
like, y'all taking the time to be there.
Like, nobody who performed with me that night even insinuated they wanted money.
Mm-hmm.
Like, never even, like, even parmily with opening the show,
it's like, can we just come out and jam?
I was like, you're telling me this dude, they got like five number ones.
Like, you tell me, band with five number ones just wants to come open the show
or just on the crit just to come fuck with me?
That's awesome.
I call Rowling.
I was like, Raleigh, I desperately.
Oh, yeah.
Me Will and Taylor just.
Yeah.
Isn't that fucking crazy?
Dorothy.
Dude, Garthin.
That is.
That shit is fucking wild, dude.
Riley, he didn't hesitate.
He's like, yeah, man, it's the top of the week.
I'm there.
Like, everybody.
Because he was in San Diego that night.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
Because we were hanging out.
Yeah, we were trying to hang out with him.
And he's like, I'm going to San Diego right now.
Yeah.
All right.
No, they literally, like, moved some, yeah.
Huh?
I was so how I was like, yeah, I guess maybe.
There's a lot of there too.
I know they got two sea worlds.
There's an antioch everywhere.
Everybody's not traveling.
All over the world.
Yeah, for sure.
Jesus.
Jesus.
We're going to hell.
We're not going to hell.
We're going to Antioch.
Which is worse.
I'd rather go to hell.
Oh, dude, that's so funny.
We put about two hours.
We're trying to do shout-out, no-free shout-out with the boys.
Yeah, shout-out, no-frey shout-out.
And the tear talk today is Christmas movies.
All right.
We're going to start one of our favorite segments we like to do every week.
And it is our shout-out, no-free shout-out segment that we all love.

You're not feeling like yourself.
Proper Wild is going to get you right in the cleanest way possible.
Yeah.
It is incredible.
It is time for shout-out.
Of the week.
The boys in the back are not doing it because we have two beautiful guests with us today.

So I will go off script and I will actually go first today.
Unfortunately, Ernest showed his hand that he's not like in any.
of the T's. Yes, yes. I know what.
That's the one back in our next South Park meeting.
Hey, motherfucker.
Hey, motherfucker. I was just making sure we weren't doing no free show.
I thought it was a Christmas movie thing.
My boy needs Jesus right now.

in and just nut on the floor?
Logan's roadhouse.
I love that.
That is that fast.
We watch the sponsorship die.
Oh, my God.
Not in me,
not.
I mean,
not.
I mean, break your nuts on the floor.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look,
artists.
Look at this.
Man, look at him.
Just breaking up.
He is.
They have a hat.
The rolls,
hot butter rolls.
Those rolls do a hands
sound different.
As long as there's a roll
basket on the table,
make sure there's a second one
on the way.
Yes.
I'm immediately.
A picture of water and a bucket of rolls.
Buddy, I might get some Logan's Roadhouse this week.
That shit sounds so good.
This one right down the street?
The rolls are fire.
I used to do a radio show at Logan's Roadhouse on 104-5-a-zone.
Yeah, my second year.
I won tickets to go.
My mom called me when I was like probably eighth grade.
She called the school to get a hold of me.
And she was like, it was at O'Charlie's.
And she was like, R-I-P-O-Charlieleys, but she was like,
we're going to have dinner with Jeff Fisher tonight.
And I'm like, we're having.
dinner with Jeff Fisher.
She's like, yep, I want something.
We're going to O. Charlie's.
And I'm like, okay, so we get to eat dinner
while Jeff Fisher does the zone
up here.
Like, we're not eating dinner with Jeff Fisher.
I love the way she framed it.
We're eating the three of us with Jeff Fisher.
Do I wear a Titan shirt or like,
just give a polo or what am I doing?
Dude, that's outstanding.
Didn't matter.
Yeah, oh, Charlie's, I've never been to O'Chalys,
but Logan's Roadhouse does fun.
Now they do it at Jeff Rubies, right?
Is that a thing at Jeff Rubies?
Oh, I know they do it in studio now.
Okay.
With Keith Bullock.
Young Keith.
And the voice of the Titans, Mike Keith.
Hey, checks are into the stams.
Yeah.
He just yells sex.
I was going to yell at, but I was like, I don't feel like.
You realize how loud it gets.
It's so loud.
He does a great job.
He's outstanding.
Mike Keith.
I fucking love Mike Keith.
I saw him on the plane yesterday on the way back.
Went up to him, said what's up.
He did not want to be bothered.
It was very obvious.
He's such an outstanding guy.
He has not been on the bus.
He has not.
I think he'd be outstanding.
We got to get Mike Keith on the bus.
Well, we started this podcast.
Taylor's first target.
It was the OTP.
Taylor, Tomp.
We got to be better
than the OTP.
Yeah, the official Titans
podcast.
I don't even know if they still
do it anymore,
but we were like,
we put them out of business.
When we started,
we put them out of business.
When we started us
from the boys,
I was like,
my main thing,
I was like,
I want to take down the OTP.
And we fucking did
in the first episode.
Never heard of it.
Yeah, yeah.
They're on their grind out there.
Yeah, brother,
what's your proper
shout-out,
no-no-frey shout-out of the week?
Yeah, my proper,
no-free shout-out of the week
is always going to be the music.
I just released a couple songs.
Need a favor.
She's out now.
The Mockerbird and the Crow by Hardy's coming out in January.
Struggle Jennings is coming out with his new album.
His new song alone just came out.
It's coming out in February.
And Ernest has an album coming out February.
Shout out to all the homies dropping music soon.
No free shout-outs.
Shout out.
That's outstanding.
Way better shout out than mine.
No.
I think they're both equally as good.
Okay.
For different reasons.
Okay.
Mine of Logan's listen to the homies.
Yeah, either Logan's while he listened to the homies.
Yours was really good.
You were just obviously, there was a lot of...
There was...
You were rattled.
There was turbulence.
You had some real skin in the game.
Yeah.
You were rattled for a second.
The unfortunate thing is, I didn't get paid for saying that just then.
Damn.
That's why you know of a shout-out.
Caller at me, Cam.
You can talk about this now.
I might go to Logan's Roadhouse today.
I'm hungry.
I might too.
I thought mine was going to be...
Proper wild?
Here, I'll give out my shadow, no-for-shadow.
The way...
He's rattled.
Everybody.
Mountain's rattled.
Thompson's looking real rattled over here.
My shout-out, no for shout-out.
Of the week is going to go
when you go on a trip with the boys.
And it's not the trip with you with the boys,
but you go early in the morning.
It's a long flight.
You get there.
You have something to do immediately
when you get there.
And you're like,
god damn, as the day keeps going,
you're like, bro, I haven't eaten
since 6 o'clock last night.
I'm fucking starving.
It's 3 o'clock now.
It's almost been 24 hours of fasting out here.
This is a little bit fucking ridiculous.
And you go to a spot now,
you're so hungry, your eyes are way bigger than your stomach.
You start looking at the apps.
All those apps look fantastic.
But you settle yourself in and go, let me get just two or three.
And the thing you tell yourself is, I can always order more.
That's the saving grace thing you can do.
You go, you order your apps, you order the food you eat, and you get perfectly full.
Not like, hey, my day's got to end.
Now I've got to take a nap.
But this was the perfect amount of food I could have had.
And it could have got out of bounds real fast.
So my shout, I know, free shout it is a perfectly planned meal.
Great shout out
at Logan's Roadhouse
Mr. Spots is a good one, yeah.
Mine was coming from
Harold and I's trip to L.A. because we went to sugarfish
after. Oh, God.
Bro, what?
You all right.
I'm not going to
that sounds so good.
Oh, God.
Bro, we went to sugarfish
and the waitress was
low-key a bitch, but I let it slide.
I was hungry. Low-key getting hangary.
We sit down, we ordered a whole bunch of shit.
come out in little small little portions.
And then we doubled it up again. We said, hey, can we just
get that same shit again? It was so fucking
good. And it was
perfectly, it was like perfect.
It was like, perfect. It didn't. Like,
your mouse watering? It feels like, I gotta
stop. I'm fucking starving right now.
I have not eaten today. What time is it? I haven't
eaten today. Let's see here.
I'll give us a little shot
in the camera angle. A proper
shout out, no free shout out.
To a proper wild.
Mine is going to be simple.
it might have already been said before
it probably has but you can never
shout this out enough and it's going to
simply be to camaraderie
am I shut up
this guy
hey I know I know
you good
yeah you saw it
camaraderie
anyways go ahead go ahead sorry
he needs Jesus
this is going to be tough
this is going to be tough okay
because you're going to hear and you're like fuck
but
I know
Oh, I fucked up.
No, no, no, no.
So my mom passed away a year ago.
And camarader with you guys has been very much, like, I'm not even going to say.
Like, it's like a needed thing.
And I've really enjoyed, like, being around all the support with you guys and everything else.
But it's going to go, it's going to go to camaraderie because, obviously, it's hard to always define, like, everybody's pain and grieving process.
And everybody goes through their own shit, right?
And it's hard to, like, tell anybody how they feel.
But, um, my, my shout out is going to be a camaraderie because I've really.
enjoyed the podcast with you guys.
And you know your boy, like, we're all, we're all grabbing it right now.
We're grabbing it.
Yeah, we're holding back on that.
I'm getting a hold of it.
But I truly, like, this is, I've loved this.
I've loved this.
I appreciate it.
Like, I know you're always there for your boy.
I know you guys are there for your boy, and it's always felt.
And I'm doing, we all know, the boy's doing his fighting right now,
holding back tears because you can get caught up in the moment.
But I truly want to say that, that you guys all play a role in today and, like, you know,
keeping the spirits high and the vibes.
and I really appreciate it.
This has been like a fun pot.
I know I'm really rambling right now.
I'm so sorry.
I'm such an asshole, bro.
No, no, no, no.
He's a horrible fucking human.
Yeah, that's okay.
He'll learn like you did, right?
He'll get to that point.
He's going to hear this and he's going to bug myself such a whole laugh at that.
And I'm sorry.
Hey, I'm going to laugh immediately at the first thing I think is funny.
And then I'll figure out whether I should.
Yeah, yeah.
I know.
There was a time where we were talking about today specifically and what we were, I was like,
hey, Will, if you don't want to come to a podcast, you want to have a day for yourself,
like, that's okay, because we've rolled a pod together.
It's a blast.
And when I saw you today, I was like, okay, cool.
Like, the boy-
It's like, you didn't know how it be.
Like, the hard thing to do, right, is you think of, like, distract yourself.
But distraction, it's like, it's such a short-term thing.
Like, ultimately you have to sit and, like, acknowledge the way you feel and, like,
do all these things.
Like, I do that.
Like, I've written a lot about it.
And it's always hard.
Like, I'm always sad.
Like, sadness never goes away.
And, you know, you always have great things to say about it when you come on the bus.
And it's tough, man.
Like, it's like grieving is essentially, like, there's so much love.
I wish I could still get my mom, but you just can't anymore.
Right.
And ultimately, like, that's grieving.
Like, you want to find all these ways to still love that person and you can't.
And I'm also, like, you know, I did it today when I put my post out there.
Like, I'm also super grateful in a weird way to say it because someone truly impact me in such a way to where it just, it hurts all the time.
And, like, I see photos like, dude, I got this portrait yesterday.
from a good friend or my dad did, and you guys,
I'll show you guys afterwards of my mom in Rue,
and it's unreal.
But, you know,
coming on and doing the show today, it was kind of like,
you know, I woke up.
I know I wanted to be intentional about, like,
sitting with it this morning.
I still wanted to go and, like, you know,
you get a sweat and you do all this stuff.
You're like, just, you're trying to be,
not trying to be positive,
but I'm just aware of the day in the situation.
Yeah.
And the day is hard.
Yeah.
but, you know, the impact she had on me,
I still want to continue to, like, show up.
The way she showed up for me all the time,
I want to continue to show up for everybody else.
You guys, like, sitting here and doing this stuff.
Like, you know, it's important to me.
Like, yeah, I definitely, it'd be nice.
Like, you think to yourself selfishly,
like, when you're sad and depressed and everything else,
I would love to, you just sit at home and you just feel bad for yourself, right?
Like, what am I ultimately doing, feeling bad for myself
versus trying to be home and just, like, distract myself from
and, like, think, like, I got to be hidden from the world.
but I'm more so yeah I just wanted to like
it'd be nice to be around the boys like I'm trying to
you know I sit there and I hug Charles and she's
she's checking in all day long like how you'd been how you doing
and you know you tear up and you see the photos you do all your
you do your thing but now I'm getting to the point where I'm rambling
but yeah man like it's tough it is
it's very hard and I fucking love you guys
I know you guys all know what you guys mean to me for real
I know you know like
yeah I appreciate it all but
I'm camaraderie boys
Combrotery, boys.
Tears are just love with nowhere to go, baby.
Amen.
Yeah, amen, man.
That was beautiful.
Wow.
Thanks for having us again.
I mean, this is the only podcast I've done all year, and it's right.
It's this one.
It's the end of the year.
Last time I did a podcast with my own on December 6th last year.
So, like, get back in with y'all and jelly.
Good way to end the year.
Dude, amen.
And on that, too, like, holidays are coming up.
Hollidays means different stuff for everybody.
Yeah, they're tough.
Them close people in your life, man, and we talked about on Thanksgiving, like, if you have parents, if you have a parent, whoever's taking care of you, like, I personally knowing what I feel, like, if I could just text my mom again or say something to my mom, you know how important that stuff is.
And make sure to do that.
Like, if you're listening to this right now, pull out your fucking phone and text your mom and dad or call them.
Like, just any, just do that, man.
Like life, it's like the Adams Project.
It's later than you think was the big quote in that movie.
life is fucking short.
Life is short, bro.
And we have no clue how short it is.
And, yeah, man.
Love on your people.
When you said pull out your phone,
I was so in my almost,
I reached from my pocket.
I'm serious, like it's,
you just,
you never fucking know.
You never know.
Some relationships are super easy, right?
And you can love on your people easy.
Some relationships are hard.
It's hard, like, whether it's your ego,
whether it's stuff that somebody else done to you
and you can't get over the hump,
but you just don't know when,
the time is up for any of us ever.
You could be in a scuffle.
One of us could be gone, literally, the next day.
I think about that sometimes.
You just don't.
You just don't fucking know, man, and it's just important that.
Don't go to bed angry has always been a thing for me.
And I still go to bed.
I still go to bed angry.
I know, I know, I know, but I'm just saying, like,
I try to put out all fires.
I got especially close people before I go to bed that night.
I'm normally so fucked up when I go to sleep,
I don't think about none of it.
You don't fall asleep
Yeah, I don't fall asleep
I passed
I hadn't fell asleep in 20 years
It's like in edible
and melatonin at my best day
Hey, you think it was that melatonin though
You were in a different world
In those dreams
Bro
I dreamed of my dog last night
Talking to me
Fucking weird
A bull fell off a trailer
And I had to avoid it on the freeway
Last night
I saw it scoot across
Like you know when a deer runs out in the row
Okay
Yeah, it was like a trailer.
No real life.
A bull came out of the back.
It was like facing me and sliding across it like a deer wood.
Yeah.
And I just remember not even touching the break and just go and seeing it in the rear view and it got hit by another car.
But I don't know what anybody.
Anybody knows what that means.
Yeah, there's something.
Probably means somebody's trying to go on with that.
You know who hit it?
Hey, Dave.
They did.
It's me.
Oh, dude.
Are we tear-talking Christmas movies?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
What time is it?
Because you got something to do at 1.30, correct?
I don't remember.
Yeah, because you had something at 130.
The other one got a missed call, though.
No.
It's happening.
It's 217.
I think we're good.
All right.
Tier talk is all explained to Ernest because I don't want them to go through.
We went through it on Shaddle and a no free shout-out.
There are three tiers.
Obviously, Tier 1's your favorite.
Tier 2 is your second favorite.
Tier 3 is your third favorite.
There is room for an honorable mention in this situation.
Okay.
So the Tier Talk is going to be Christmas movies.
I want to say this, dude, I, unlike Ernest, I'm actually a fan of the podcast.
I am absolutely disgusted that I finally get to be a part of Tier Talk and it's fucking Christmas movies.
Oh, what do you want to do?
Best Tier Talks ever.
You know, I like everybody else.
I'd have an opinion.
You want to do...
No, I'll do, it's Christmas.
It is important to do the Christmas.
We got to do...
Unless you have another...
Unless you have another...
What if we do too?
Let's do you selling towards music, like our top three albums.
I'll do Christmas music for sure.
I'll do Christmas music last week.
I mean, Christmas movies.
I'm sorry.
Fucking hot.
I can start this off.
I'm just a big fan.
He's a fucking hot.

Earn, kick us off your top three Christmas movies.
I hope that's not foreshadowing.
My favorite Christmas movie would have to be...
Tier one, Christmas movie.
You need to go from the bottom to the top.
Okay, tier three Christmas movie.
Would be Tim Allen's the Santa Claus.
Tier 2 would be...
I can't do a tie for two.
I'll just got to stick to one, right?
Unless you want to move Santa Claus down
honorable mention and throw it in the tier 3.
Okay.
Santa Claus honorable mention.
Tier 3 would be the original Rudolph,
like the clay motion...
The aesthetic of that is classic.
When it's on and it smells like...
peppermints and Christmas trees, I just don't know.
And then tier two would be elf.
And then tier one would be the Christmas story.
You got to watch the Christmas story every Christmas.
That is a good one.
Thank you guys for having me.
Now, Ernest, we will go around the room and give one word to describe how we feel about your list.
And we're going to start.
You guys on a mic?
Damn.
I always love when they.
Yeah.
It's nice when you give your input.
what would your guys get gary girl what would your one word be mid average glossy what's yours
classics thanks jack what's yours classic what's your one word to describe it what were they again
oh rudolph and something else sim ellen santa claus rudolph elf and the christmas story good strong oh thanks will
Ern's learning how it can get you get some personal shit going on here.
Yeah, I saw how he reacted to that real strong.
Oh, he got two words.
Piphonated.
Ah, okay.
All right, I'll take it.
All right, jelly.
You have a different word.
You ready?
I didn't know how I felt about him.
Taylor didn't like them.
No, no, no, no.
You were judging since the moment I started talking.
No, no, no, no.
There's no, there's no, there's no doubt.
I felt like that's not a list of, it's not a list of 7-7.
I don't know if there's...
No, no, no, that is a good list
because I do like the original
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.
Thank you.
Tim Allen, Santa Claus is really good as well.
I wouldn't make my tier list.
Okay.
But more my fault than anything else is
I don't think I've really seen a Christmas story.
Whoa.
I know.
I know.
So I, it's really not.
It was, my word was going to be classics.
That was going to be my word.
But I, uh, I hate that I had to open up.
I hate...
That's crazy.
I hate...
All day.
long on TNT, man.
I'm going to play all day long.
My mom's like it's got to be playing it all the time.
You have to watch that, Taylor.
I fucked up.
Jelly, what you got, brother?
Tier three, we're going to do the Gremlins.
Underrated Christmas movie.
Wow.
It deserves more respect.
Okay.
Tier two, bad Santa.
Period.
Fuck them kids.
Best Christmas movie ever.
Tier one.
This is your best Christmas movie ever.
Tier one, only for the same reason.
as you is a Christmas story.
And I know it's my most cliche one,
but for whatever reason,
it is the movie that we play all day on Christmas every year.
It's the movie that just plays.
So you watch it,
but you never sit down and watch it.
You just watch it.
You know what I mean?
You just see it come on and off.
Yeah, for sure.
Honorable mentions was the Christmas Chronicles on Netflix.
That's a good fucking movie.
I cried.
So I judge, right?
I judge love based on TV.
I don't know.
It's a good movie.
Because Netflix movies, it's like, all right, what are we going to get here?
But that's one where you're like, oh, fuck it.
No, it was really good.
And I kind of like, you know, tear.
Me and my daughter, like, cried.
It was a moment for us.
So it's into my honorable mention.
But good luck having a list that cool, boys.
Yeah, that's a good.
You were just to give one word.
Oh, eclectic.
Gary.
Yeah, Gary, what you got?
Good.
Unapologetic.
Unapologetic.
You can hear it on the mic.
Take it easy.
Take it easy.
What did you got, Will?
I don't know.
I don't know yet.
I didn't think about it, I guess.
All right.
Mine is going to be...
I'm hungry.
I'm a hungry boy.
Logan's red house being in.
My word is jelly.
The word is jelly.
Because it's perfectly on brand.
That is very true.
I'm going to say my personal opinion, okay.
Okay.
Trolls, or, uh, gremlin's really like,
I'm like, okay.
Bro, what?
It's one of the best movies ever.
No.
Third.
Yeah.
That was third on Christmas list.
If you put in all the categories, it's not making your top ten.
I've even been fourth.
Whatever.
Yeah.
I got the top five movies.
That's not it.
You.
All right.
My, uh...
I'm realizing how much I need to watch more Christmas movies.
I'm really hurt by this Christmas story.
Your three options are just the three you know.
It's tough, man.
I'm going to say my honorable mention,
like I can sit here and write off so many honorable mentions,
like movies that you guys have said,
but my honorable mention is going to go to Rudolph,
like, shout out Rudolph.
Like, I wanted so badly when I was a kid to, like,
leave my backyard or leave, like, the area or town
and, like, go out and meet the freaking frosty the snowman
just sitting out scooting around somewhere.
You know what I mean?
But shout out Rudolph.
My tier three is going to be a Christmas story.
All time.
The Christmas story is like,
When you have, like, there's a couple of Christmases that we had out in Washington to where we didn't have, like, I was in an apartment, we just didn't have dinner made or nothing.
We went out and ate at a Chinese restaurant to where you're like, oh, this is fine.
This is classic.
Because that's what they do on the Christmas story.
Yeah.
But Christmas story, without a doubt.
And check out on HBO, A Christmas Story is Christmas.
There's a sequel now.
He's growing up.
Oh, okay.
Wow.
And it's all.
They do a lot of, like, nostalgia, flashback, stuff like that.
It's cool.
Check it out.
My tier two is going to be a little romantic.
The Holiday.
I love the holiday.
As a matter of fact,
watch it the other night.
My wife and I,
we watch it every year together,
but the holiday is all time.
Cameron Diaz.
I think Jack Black's in that movie,
isn't he?
Black's in that movie?
Yes, man.
That's a good movie.
That's a good movie.
That's my tier two.
Okay.
My tier one.
Elf.
That's great.
That's great.
That's great.
That's great.
I feel like there's an argument.
Well, not an argument,
I guess because we all got to be in sync with that.
But that's like a God tier movie
in Christmas world.
It is.
But Elf put with Will Ferrell on the map.
I mean, in the mainstream thing.
No, but dude, I mean, even he'll talk about Elf was like the movie that he was in a bunch of movies before that.
But Elf was like worldwide, everybody's seen it, household name Will Ferrell.
Yeah.
Young, old, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm with that.
But Elf, Tier 1, that's my, that's my tier talk.
That concludes my tier talk.
You watch behind this, there's that Netflix documentary does all the how it's made.
You've seen the How It's Made stuff?
Just watch the one on Elf.
It's great.
Okay.
If you like Elf so much.
Yeah, yeah.
Garrett, Elf, the holiday, Christmas story,
and then the honorable mention was Rudolph,
which probably won't make the graphic because you, for whatever reason.
Yeah, he didn't do it last week.
I didn't say nothing.
Yeah, I didn't either.
Yeah.
Because I feel like, you know, he's just got a thing.
He resents.
Yeah, he got so mad at the honorable mention being brought up,
but he said he'd do the honorable mention.
But then after last week, I learned to myself, yeah, we don't do it
because any time it's asked about, you just choose not to do it.
And football, you...
And that's how we unpack her.
issues.
I'm blessed with the voice.
So Gary, what's your word?
Fuck you.
Good.
Bloss.
Bamboozled?
Also genuine.
Shocking.
Thank you, Jay.
Oh, uh, all right.
Like a good, like,
all right.
That's not the way you said it.
You could have said it that way.
All right.
I thought it was good.
Thank you.
That was good.
Great job today.
Festive.
Festive.
All right.
My honorable mention is going,
no one's going to see it on the graphic,
but my honorable mention is going to be
to a very new movie, actually.
And I'm not a big,
what's it when they sing in the movies?
Musical.
Yeah.
I'm not big musical guy.
But I saw a spirited earlier.
this month, dude. And I feel like
Will Farrell, big Ryan Reynolds fan. I'm a huge Ryan Reynolds fan.
I think they have great chemistry in the movie.
It's an old, uh, it's a new spin on an old storyline.
It is an incredible film. But that is going to make, uh, my honorable mention because it's
so new and I really needed to set in. But I feel like it had to be mentioned in tier talk.
My tier three.
What's the name of it?
Spirited. Okay. Spirited. All right.
Yeah, you should check that out. It's actually really good. Um, my tier three goes back to my
childhood. It's a movie. It's in black and white.
And for whatever reason, my dad would always put this fucking movie on.
It's a wonderful life, dude.
My brother watches it every year, too.
I think that movie, it's great, dude. It's black and white.
It's phenomenal. It's a phenomenal movie.
My tier two
is going to be, I'm a huge comedy guy.
I love comedies. And I especially love National
Lampoon. I think it's, I think that
humor. How do we blow that? National Ampoon's
Christmas vacation is my tier two.
And then
Tier 3, which I agree with what you said,
I'm sorry, Tier 1 is I agree with what you said is elf.
I think it's incredible.
Kids of all ages, anyone, old, young, in the middle,
you can watch that movie.
It's going to give you that warm and fuzzy feeling
that Christmas should give you.
It is, it is God's here, in my opinion.
I don't want to be the elf hater today,
but I will say...
Go ahead, King.
Did your list was something?
It was so close to being perfect.
What would you have made it?
What would have made it perfect?
I wouldn't have felt real, it felt real Will Ferrell.
It was a little too much Will Ferrell happening.
If he was in the honorable men.
There are people.
There are people.
I like Will Ferrell.
I don't like him twice on a fourth thing list.
And you had the fire, son.
You fucked us all up with a wonderful life.
And then you broke out National Lampoon.
And I was crying because I was like, why did I think of that?
That's the best one.
I really do.
that's in the top three Christmas movies ever.
Yeah, it's incredible, right?
And then you were like, I'm just going to shit the same brick
that everybody else shit at number one right then.
I can probably think it's not.
Ike my leg real fast and just go elf.
I thought that's good.
That was my truth.
All right.
Is Elf, your very favorite Christmas movie?
Probably.
And it's like...
It's the one you're most familiar with.
It's the one I'm most familiar with.
And it's probably the one I've watched the most
in like the Christmas holiday season.
So I feel like for that,
reason it has to be number one.
Radio happened around Christmas time.
Is that a Christmas movie?
Die Hard is the argument that people always give for a Christmas movie.
It is?
You're one of those, huh?
No, no, no.
I'm not a diehard.
Die Hard guy needs it.
For what it's worth?
I'm more of a Will Ferrell guy than a diehard guy.
You don't care to get into that argument.
You're just saying, in your opinion,
diehard's a Christmas movie.
No, I just said, I said, I agree that people say it's a Christmas movie.
I don't have an opinion of it.
You don't have an opinion.
People say, no, I haven't watched it.
Oh
Not that I don't remember
I'm sure I watched it
But I don't
Nothing about it like stood out
Catchy like that
I'm trying to think
Also I thought four Christmases
Could have been in there
That's a good one
That was a lot of Christmas
There was a lot of Christmas
I really like
Home alone
But
Ben Joe
That's his number one movie
He puts it on repeat
The whole
Grinch is there too
Jim Carrey's Gritch is good
But I don't know
Grinch
You're a mean one
I will say you
Mr. Grinch
The episode
Oh, that was so, no, the where they all got fucked up at the Christmas party.
God, they did drugs?
Yeah.
Why didn't I think of that one neither?
This is all the good stuff rolling out of you.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know how to take that one.
I just love that you can kind of barely say him.
He's just back there's smiling after he says his word.
His hat's fire.
Oh, really?
That was, you gave me some flowers there.
That was a tip of the cap.
That was a tip of the cap.
That is a tip of the cap.
A lot of words.
Strong.
Incredible.
Wow.
Wonderful.
Predicts are saying.
That felt good, dude.
All that thought really fucking good.
Wonderful life, I was ready.
No.
You did say you were starting to say it.
You never seen it?
I was like wonderful life.
Buddy, it's good.
You want the moon?
Yeah.
How about I lasso it?
And I pull it down for you.
And it's just his swag saying it too.
Acting back then there was no like effects or like you had like legit act.
You had to sell it.
You had to sell it.
You almost had to overact a little bit.
Yeah.
The perspective he gets when he comes back to like comes back to life basically.
Bro, Gary, you've got to watch it.
It is incredible.
Would you change your list?
Absolutely.
What would you give me right now?
Quickly.
Like do you don't need the whole.
I would do this because it's just a year one, two, three.
I don't know the, I don't know the fucking.
What's throwing me for a loop are a few.
I don't think, uh, Lampoon.
I don't think that would make, that wouldn't make it.
That's tough to hear that.
Wonder, Wonderful life, the Grinch, they're all
fucking throwing me off. I love the Grinch, but God.
But Christmas story, I love the Christmas story.
Like, that's probably the one I watched the most.
I'll say it. I'll say it again.
What happened to your mic there, Bub?
I'm not sure.
Ernest walked right in, jerked his microphone off.
There it is.
The, what is it?
National Lampoon's Christmas?
Yes.
National Lampoon's Christmas?
Christmas vacation.
No, it's a great movie.
I just don't think it makes my top three.
Like, Christmas movies?
It was so fucking.
You can see and argue about top five, top eight.
Chevy Chase, dude.
It is incredible.
So good, dude.
He is so good.
That dry humor.
He lights the fucking house up, dude.
Everything.
The tree with the neighbors.
Oh.
The turkey.
I might go back and watch that tonight.
Joe was late.

I love the same movie.
I've been Tim Allen.
It's not as good as bad sound.
I can't believe I'm mad.
Bad sand is really good.
That's one I wouldn't have thought of if you weren't here.

It's our.
Does teaching Chong have a Christmas movie?
I feel you.
I do feel you.
How do you think that would integrate?
I think it would integrate well.
I think it would do well, too.
I think on the outside, though, when it comes to.
the game
