All right, guys, it's a new year.
And you know what that means.
Out with the old, in with the new.
But I do gotta say one thing.
I will be bringing old with me into the new year.
Lume whole body deodorant is the bee's knees, baby.
I know when I go out on New Year's Eve
and I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off,
I don't have to worry about sweating or smelling.
Because why?
I got Lume on.

I don't care what anybody says.
It doesn't matter what time of year it is.
I never get tired of online shopping, especially during the holidays.
Here's the thing.
It's kind of gross out.
Even those of us that embrace the chilly weather need something to break up long winter nights. Something I love
to do is treat myself to a little something, but I don't want to spend a fortune on my winter blues.
That's where Quince comes in. I'm absolutely obsessed with my Quince luggages. I took them
on tour. I brought them home and they're still like brand new. I'm pretty much obsessed with
this brand, but there is something else that everyone needs in their closet, in my opinion.
Quince's iconic Mongolian cashmere sweaters, which start at $50.
Or if you want to really up the luxe factor, check out their Italian leather handbags,
washable silk skirts, and European linen sheet sets.
Whatever you're looking for, all Quince items are priced 50% to 80% less than similar brands.
Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical,
and responsible manufacturing practices.
Treat yourself this winter without the luxury price tag.
Go to quince.com slash B-U-N-N-I-E for 365-day returns
plus free shipping on your order.
That's Q-U-I-N-C-E dot com slash bunny, B-U-N-N-I-E,

All right, gentlemen, coming to main stage next. This is Bunny.

So get up there and throw, throw, throw them dollars.
Dude, that is fucking iconic.
What's up, guys?
Welcome to another episode of the Dumb Bomb Podcast.
Yes.
You've got your own camera, guy.
Look at Candy, just solely focused.
Good job,
Andy.
Way to go.
Listen,
your wife is,
I don't know if you've noticed or not,
but your wife is pretty fucking professional.
You have built a media company.
Literally.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No,
it's nuts.
We're getting bigger though.
Dumb blonde productions.
Yeah,
what's up daddy?
We've only just begun.
We are in Las Vegas,
Nevada.
I'm going to date this. We're in Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm going to date this.
We're in Las Vegas, Nevada.
We're going to see Garth Brooks tonight.
Garth, baby.
For the opening of his Vegas residency.
Yeah.
And then tomorrow we're playing the Pomona County Fair.
But most importantly, yesterday we flew here from Austin, Texas,
from doing the Joe Rogan experience.
Dude, so awesome.
We're going to touch base on that.
But let's rewind really quick.
So you're going to see Garth Brooks tonight.
Are you going to pick him up off his fucking feet like you did last time?
You know what's the worst about that?
His little legs were dangling.
I was so embarrassed.
I was so embarrassed.
I didn't even realize I picked him up.
I was just so excited.
You know how I get.
I love it and kiss it and squeeze it.
I'm that thing where I hold it too tight.
I was just so excited.
I got this thing happening where I'm starting to meet my heroes
and I'm fumbling the bag.
But really, are you?
Because it got millions of views on TikTok.
Yeah, but it's like I felt so embarrassed.
I was like, I did not mean to pick Garth up.
I was like, could you imagine not knowing this big guy
and you walk over to this big dude with tattoos that just is a fan of yours?
He just swoops you by the belt loop.
He fell in love with you at that moment.
There were so many emotions that went over his face because, you know, I read people.
So at first it was embarrassment.
Then it was joy.
And then he was like, why do I like this?
And then it was like, okay, this guy's cool.
Dude, it was cool, man.
What was that like finally meeting him?
You've seen Garth how many times?
Twelve.
Thirteen. Tonight I'll be lucky. Thirteen. No, finally meeting him? You've seen Garth how many times? 12. 13.
Tonight will be lucky 13.
No, you're going to show up and be like the stalker.
Yeah, I felt it for sure.
Garth's going to be like, Trisha, get this motherfucker away from me.
Trisha, I fumbled the bag with her.
When I looked up across the parking lot.
First of all, you know what I regret the most about me and you meeting Trisha Yearwood?
What?
Why did we not meet her halfway?
Because we were in awe that she was even walking over to us.
That didn't embarrass you afterwards, though?
Because in the moment, I let her walk all the way to us
because I feel like I was grabbing you.
You were grabbing me going, Trisha Yearwood's walking over here.
Yeah, we didn't believe that she was walking to us.
No.
Because somebody was like, Trisha's coming to get you.
And we both turned around.
And you could see my face
and your face
and we're like looking over.
And then when she looked up
and said, hey, Bunny.
Yeah.
I was like, whoa.
Yeah.
She's coming to us for sure.
Yeah, no, we were like in awe.
We were like, Trisha.
But in hindsight,
I was so embarrassed.
Trisha, I'm sorry.
I'll tell you in person tonight,
I hope.
But I was so embarrassed
that we didn't run towards Trisha.
No, I think it's just.
But it just, I was so in awe.
I was so like, I can't believe.
We looked at each other
kind of like, is Trisha Yearwood coming to us right now?
The crazy thing was, also came full circle, was because Trisha, you had done an interview
earlier on the red carpet at the ACMs.
And Trisha had told everybody she was looking for you.
I know.
And I thought they were jazzing us up.
I thought it was like, just get a quick reaction out of Jelly because they know I get hype
easy.
So I was like, no, I'm just excited. And I thought they were like just get a quick reaction out of jelly because they know I get hype easy. Yeah. I'm just excited.
And I thought they were.
You know what?
The thing about Tricia that struck me the most was her presence.
Yeah.
So kind.
So kind.
So soft.
Soft.
So genuine, but yet so big.
Fierce.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Don't use big when you talk about women.
I meant like her person, like her person, the woman she is.
The persona, the feeling of her.
But it felt so calm and kind.
She commands a room, but does it gently.
Does it so gently and so sweetly.
And I can't wait to talk to her as a normal person.
Right. Not fan.
Not just a complete like, oh, fuck, Trisha, you're what's talking to me.
What do I say?
I love it.
So you just said that you fucking just flew in from
doing the joe rogan podcast we did rogan baby bro okay for those of you who don't know ever since
god 2016 2017 you have always said i'm gonna go on the joe rogan podcast i think you might have
even rapped about it i think i've rapped about it multiple times yeah i have i think 2018
so when did we move it was 2018 that we moved into fowler correct right yep yep okay the fowler house
yep so sorry y'all my wife and i've had lived in seven different places and we refer to them by
names so this was the fowler house yeah we have
some houses that are called the in-between house between but so was the Fowler house was the first
time that I wrote it on the whiteboard right so that was probably new year's 2018 or new year's
2019 at the latest yeah now you have literally I tell everybody like i've manifested my life since i was a little girl
i've never met another human who is just like me who has literally you manifested me yeah you used
to rap about me in your rap songs and didn't even know it was me didn't know it was you and i was
just rapping over yeah for sure like just crazy and you have manifested your entire fucking life
anything you've said you've wanted and spoken it into the universe,
the universe has taken it and ran with it.
Granted, we've had to work our asses off.
You've worked your fucking ass off.
You have not just been handed anything
and the universe has made you have to wait
for a lot of shit,
but it always fucking comes to fruition.
It's back to the alchemist
when I read it on the beach here on our family vacation.
When you are on a journey for your personal legend,
the universe will conspire for you.
And man, that quote from that book has just everything about it,
where we are in our life right now.
I love that.
That's amazing.
Can I tell you about Joe Rogan?
Yeah, I was about to say.
I was about to say.
So take me on this journey with Joe.
I'll take you.
So I flew in Monday because Kill Tony is Monday.
And I watch Kill Tony, I'd say, at least twice a month.
He puts out one every week.
I at least catch two of them.
David Lucas is a friend of mine.
Him and Tony Hinchcliffe go back and forth a lot.
I'd never met Tony, though, but I've been a longtime fan of Tony.
And we just show up.
And in true your husband fashion, you i have i've cut my drinking back
insane tremendously nobody will ever understand how much i've cut my drinking back we'll dive
into that later but i go in and i'm like there was somebody's like don't go in there and drink
i was like i haven't been drinking and you know last time i went to joe's i just i met joe real
quick watched the show and we left because we were so busy and they're so busy so I just kind of expected to be in and out and then David grabs me and takes me
to the green room say let's take a shot I'm like all right let's take a shot and then me and David
shoot a shot and we're back there hanging out and then Tony comes back and he is just the salt of
the fucking earth Tony Henscliff is one of the sweetest humans you will ever meet just awesome
and he comes in old school.
He sits down.
He lights up a cigarette and pours a drink for both of us,
and we shoot it.
He says, have you been to Mitzi's bar yet?
This is right after the show.
And Mitzi, you know, was pretty much the godmother of comedy.
She ran the comedy store as Pauly Shore's mother.
You know, just beautiful soul.
Joe Rogan has dedicated an entire little underground speakeasy bar called
Mitzi's bar to her.
And the,
he,
I don't know.
Yeah,
I'll say this.
Fuck it.
I hope I don't get in trouble.
The two bartenders down there,
he got from LA.
He kind of poached them from the big comedy clubs.
You know,
the ones that all the comedians like.
Right.
So these bartenders are the salt of the earth.
Sweet lady named Carrie and Diamond.
They're just pouring me and Tony shots.
They're just feeding us.
And I feel that I'm like, oh, no.
And I look at Boston and I go, Boston, tomorrow's the biggest podcast of my career.
Do not let me drink past 11.
And this is like 945.
Right.
Because anybody can tell drunk roll what to do.
Yeah.
About 11, Boston did come over. And all I i said was it's too late call an iv we ended up stumbling out of there at two
o'clock in the morning i said it on joe rogan's podcast but it's true the last thing i finally
said to tony hinchcliffe was dude i love you but i got the biggest podcast of my life in 12 hours
turns out you'll be fine i was just of course, you go on it every month, motherfucker.
I was like, I'm fucking nervous.
Yeah, for sure.
And it's just like how alcohol is.
It didn't hit me until we got to the bus.
But we wake up the next morning and we get an IV, which we'll talk about later, too,
because that was fun.
Me and you talked about that clip on it going viral.
I get an IV.
I'm a little hungover, but I feel good.
Do Rogan.
My only sales pitch to people is this was a roller coaster.
It's everything I dreamed three hours with Joe Rogan would be.
We laughed.
We cried.
We cried laughing.
You guys almost did shrooms together.
We almost did shrooms we smoked joey
wheat joey diaz weed together we showed each we were like two friends showing each other songs
they didn't know like that's like there's so many yeah just two little boys yeah yeah it's like oh
you like that well then you'd like this and they play then he'll play a song and it's like we
started doing this dj thing it was so fucking'll play a song. And it's like, we started doing this DJ thing.
It was so fucking awesome.
And just when I think
it couldn't get no better,
I'm getting ready to leave.
And Joe's like,
hey man, I'm serious.
Beginning of the podcast,
he said,
come to the comedy club tonight.
He had a seven and a nine o'clock show.
I'm leaving there.
He points me to this place
called Terry Black's,
this barbecue pit.
Mama, we pulled up.
I've seen the red carpet get get rolled out before but not like this
i mean they ushered us to this table just some of the best maybe the best barbecue i've ever had
right there in the middle of austin texas i remember those days when i could eat barbecue
go to the comedy club watch the whole first show then go to the green room met ron white you know how long ron white
has been i didn't even know who ron white was until you made me sit down and watch his fucking
specials he's the best he's so good so we watch ron i mean we're i'm hanging out with ron white
and obviously i'm like clearly not not embarrassingly fanning out like this is like one of the few things in
life I'm like a huge fan of I stayed between shows get drunk watch the whole second show again
went to the little room they have so he has multiple rooms in his comedy club
and one of them's called the fat man one's called the little boy and I went to the little boy room
and they're playing this game called bottom of the barrel where the crowd writes suggestions and comedians just go up there and just pick them
and riff it's just everything about the culture he's created around comedy yeah and around that
particular establishment of the comedy mothership beautiful man I feel like comedians are like
it's cult-like but it's so loving and friendly. Once you get in there, like everybody loves you.
Like it started off for you doing something with a comedian and it's just
snowballed into you finally running into Joe Rogan.
Right.
You know,
like everybody just uplifts each other in that whole entire,
like,
you know,
that community is tight and they do not.
So my,
so the stories I've heard was that it was very competitive at one time and comedians
were fucking just douches to each other and joe and his crew were kind of like we don't want to
be like these dudes and the kind of the beginning of this was these comedians coming together and
going hey man we should be helping each other not acting like we're competing god if only people
could do that in other communities every In every other genre, right?
And I tell Joe that.
I'm like, I'm so jealous of the comedian.
You know what I felt?
I never correlated the two.
I felt, when I was in that comedy room
and I was finally getting to watch the best,
I'm watching Ron White and Joe Rogan go over bits.
I'm watching Tony Hinchcliffe and Ron and Joe
talk about their bits.
And I'm watching the three, you know, three of the best to do it.
Talk about it in front of me.
And I was like, oh, shit.
I correlated this to songwriting.
I was like, oh, that's how the songwriting community is.
How like when a songwriter gets a number one, every songwriter in town just loses their shit for them.
Right.
You know what I mean?
They just immediately.
And you know what?
It's how it is in the country music community too.
Literally.
Because when somebody goes number one in country, you watch the rest of the country music community stand to the side and clap and go fucking good for you.
Dude, which was so unexpected because we thought the country community was going to like not embrace you.
We thought that they were going to do the complete
opposite of what they've done and they've been so
loving and just accepting of you.
It's crazy.
Some of my best friends on earth
I've met in the last 30
months doing country music.
Cody Johnson,
Ernest,
Brantley Gilbert. I talk to Brantley
Gilbert probably more than anybody on earth but you.
We love Brantley.
If I broke down hours of telephone time a month, Brantley's bite bunny.
Brantley's a talker.
Yeah.
Well, we get on the phone high at 2 or 3 in the morning.
I dick around.
We're both fucking night owls.
We'll just smoke a joint together and just talk like we're in a room together.
It must be our cuss because Brantley and I are like a day apart.
We like to communicate.
Yeah.
Just communicate. That's our love language. Brantley's the man. a day apart. We like to communicate. Yeah. Just communicate.
That's our love language.
Brantley's the man.
Let's go.
Just checking in, bubba calm.
Or I'll call.
You know, we'll just cold call.
Cody Johnson's the same way.
Did you think that it was?
Okay.
So, you know, I know we're kind of like hopping around, but this all comes together.
But, you know, you started.
I married a fucking rapper.
Okay.
I tell everybody that.
I'm like, I married a fucking rapper and he pulled everybody that i'm like i married a fucking
rapper and he pulled the biggest okie doke ever on me a little bait and switch but you knew i was
country yeah at least at least that was at least there and but that's another thing that another
point that i'd like to bring up too is like okay yeah first i married a rapper but you are country
as fuck like even in your raps like your raps have hints of country music in them you've always had guitars
you've always had some sort of like more than just a fucking 808 it's always been like a production
for you so when people sit there and say that oh he's not country enough like how does that make
you feel oh fuck him i swear this is not him putting on a front whenever I come to him and I'm
like,
I'm getting attacked online.
He's like,
baby,
fuck him.
How,
how do you fuck him like that?
Dude,
you know,
do you feel like you have something to prove?
I,
to myself,
right.
You know,
I had a lady left a comment the other day that meant so much to me, Mama.
She said, I've been with you from the beginning.
She said, and I remember initially telling people who you were and them thinking the sky was, that I was insane.
And I said, well, I'd like to think that we proved them wrong, but don't really fucking matter.
More importantly, we proved us right.
Right.
Like, what really matters here?
You know what I'm saying?
It's like,
I know how the internet can,
that's why I try to do this with you all the time.
I know how toxic the internet can get at times.
But man,
I know what happens when I walk through the airport.
All I hear is,
where's your wife?
How's your wife?
Tell your wife we're listening to the podcast.
Every girl,
listen,
it's a trick now.
These bitches trick me. I'll have a line of girls walk up to me and they the podcast. Every girl. Listen, it's a trick now. These bitches trick me.
I'll have a line of girls walk up to me and they're smiling.
And I'm like, all right.
Let's go.
I got female fans.
You know, and I'm all excited.
And they walk right up smiling and staring through my soul.
And then go, is your wife with you?
They'll say hi.
And they'll go, oh, we like your music too.
Your fan base is so rabid that they refer to my music as a too.
They're like, think of that.
Like, and your music's cool too.
My favorite is when people say, oh, you're Bunny's husband.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For sure.
All the time.
Every girl I meet.
No, it's so funny.
But do you feel like you have something to prove to the country community? Yeah, yeah, for sure. All the time. Every girl I meet. No, it's so funny.
But do you feel like you have something to prove to the country community? Like as far as like, and I get proving something to yourself too,
but like you're getting ready to drop Wits at Chapel.
Yeah.
That's a country album.
It's actually a gospel country album.
Yeah, but very edgy.
Right.
Southern goth.
My wife coined this style.
Southern fucking goth, baby.
So listen, inside baseball, every time we've ever put a house together,
my wife is like, how do I do country goth?
How do I do southern goth?
I feel like she always thought that was me and her way of meeting in the middle.
Yeah, literally.
It was like southern or country goth.
Look, that's how I did this studio.
I put the wood up and then there's Edgar Allan Poe.
Yeah, no, 100%. He's goth daddy. Yeah, 100%. But then it's, that's how I did this studio. I put the wood up and then there's Edgar Allan Poe. Yeah, no, 100%.
He's got that.
Yeah, 100%.
But then it's just a bunch of wood like a barn.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Exactly.
But then it's little furry Vegas seats.
You know what I'm saying?
That's how each one of our houses has been.
Oh, that's it.
But I think that the album's going to prove.
You know what I'm really proving right now?
It's that I want to prove that we're here to stay.
Right.
I want to prove that we're here to stay. Right.
I want to prove that we're not just a cool story and that we're not just a cool, funny couple,
that we're like, that we want to be here forever.
Like, we want to be entertaining people
and putting out music and content and podcasts
and movies one day and Bunny XO shows
and D-Ford family shows.
I want to be doing that forever.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Like, that's what our, so to me,
Wits at Chapel, there's a lot of pressure to put on myself.
But it's the beginning of showing people like, hey y'all,
save me and Son of a
Sinner wasn't a fluke.
You know what I'm saying? I am here to,
I am going to continue to give y'all good music
annually. Absolutely. You got some
bangers. God!
I know I'm doing good when you like it. You don't
listen to none of my shit. I don't. I'm the most skipped artist on your playlist. You fuck up my
algorithms daily. I was just about to say, he tells everybody I fuck up his algorithms on Pandora
because I'm like, nope. But it's different whenever you're there. I hate listening to myself, but I
will not skip myself. If I pop up in something i'm like i'm not fucking
this up i feel like somebody gets a database of every time somebody skips the song if it makes
you feel better i never listen to my podcasts ever so it's like it's just something about like
i've been there since the beginning since the song fucking was written at the dinner table or
since you brought it home fucking a year and a half before it even made it to the airwaves you
know so it's like i've already had i've already played it out had the emotion behind it loved it
fucking hugged it and then you know tucked it away it's just like whatever everybody does with
their favorite song they play it out until fucking they don't want to hear it anymore
podcasting for the last five years yeah right let me ask you this have you podcasted enough now that
you've seen clips of you saying shit that
you forgot you said oh and i'm always getting in trouble literally i'm like god dang it i'm more

People go see every now and then.
Like an art exhibit.
Stop it.
They love you.
So, Roger said does around 10 million.
Wow.
So when are eight set between eight and 10 million.
Right.
So when he started running all this by me,
I'd never thought of it this way,
mama.
I was like,
holy shit.
We are really having like a critical mass moment.
Like there are a lot of people that have no fucking clue who my fat ass is
and who your bombshell blonde ass is that are fixing to stumble into us in
the next 20 days.
They've all found the two point,
the 3 million fucking viewed clip that I posted that you were talking about.
They were like,
that's the prostitute.
Yeah.
That's the prostitute.
the most common thing on there as well.
He turned a hoe into a housewife.
I'm like, Oh, we haven't heard that one before.
And you are so not housewife-ish, just for the record.
I am pretty fucking housewife-ish.
You are housewife-ish.
I like that you said ish.
That was honest.
I mean, I make a home.
I make sure it runs very smoothly.
You're a homemaker.
I'll give you that.
Yeah, I make sure it runs very smoothly. But you makemaker i'll give you that yeah you're a homemaker it runs very you make you but you make hotels feel homely you make tour buses feel homely
it's your that's your like spirit is to like your spirit you got a servant spirit that's why you do
podcast anyway that's why you don't like talking about you you have this spirit of serving people
right but you are far from a housewife you know what i'm saying you act like you i don't want
your listeners to think this bitch is out playing tennis.
I tried.
I tried.
And they would never tell me when the lessons were at the fucking clubhouse.
Remember?
You kept just showing up with a skirt and two TikToks.
Listen, all fucking content, baby.
All content.
I love you.
I love you, baby.
So circling back to What's at Chapel

God, I have so many songs on there I love for different reasons.
Yeah.
I want to talk about the ones that aren't out.
Okay.
So we'll talk about Halfway,
which is the beginning of the album,
which is your favorite, Bailey's favorite.
I'm a trailer park tornado.
Yeah, it's so good.
Jagged Edge is on my halo.
It's so good.
It is such a good song.
And I'm excited.
Instagram caption, bitches. And I'm excited because it's different for me. Right. It's such a good song and i'm excited instagram caption bitches
and i'm excited because it's different for me right it's got a little tempo to it yep um
i love the devil i know dance with the devil the last the second last song album it's a good one
just because it's so it's very nostalgic of only jelly roll does that make sense like if you ever
if like for the ones of y'all who were there like addiction kills like sept 2017 shit like only and even i need you in 19 yeah
it's like their sister song so for me i have a soft spot for all that kind of old school darker
shit yeah addiction kills is a dark album if you guys have not gone and listened to it go
fucking download it it's the one that has wheels fall off yeah it's incredible um i love hungover to church for you a lot like it's just are we allowed to say who you wrote that with
yes of course sorry yeah yeah who did i write on the word party i thought no i wrote church with
hardy oh okay the second song on the album okay gotcha which i which is but like i said the first
three songs are just you know yeah let the album play I love the song
with Brantley and Struggle just because anytime I can work with I do like it was it was the
mission mission it was the mission it was the meshing of my best friend of 20 years and my
best friend of the last two it was really cool to do no it was really cool I actually do like
that song and I don't really like slower songs, but that one was actually pretty cool. And I got to see
you guys perform it live. Yeah, for sure.
In our, what is it called? NRS?
CRS. CRS, yep.
Country Radio. Yeah, and it was actually really good.
Well, I'm excited. What's at Chapel's Dropping
6-2. You guys have to pre-order it
now. Download it. Pre-orders, pre-saves.
Use all the songs
Daddy Wrote Mama. I think there's like two songs
on there. I wrote you some
love songs. Yeah, Daddy gave me some love
songs. What else? Jellyroll615.com
we have bundle packages. So
every time we sell a physical
CD, even if it's $3 on the website,
it counts towards our first
day sale. Yeah. And that
number is how you rank in the
billboard chart. Right. So
we're not like trying to sell these
because we're trying to make money for as cheap
as we're selling these CDs.
We're trying to fucking make it on the record.
We're trying to make it on,
we're trying to make a piece of history.
Right.
We're trying to go down on this week of the year
we were the number such album in the world.
Yeah.
Like that's what we're going for here.
So listen,
is that my camera right there Mimi?
Listen y'all,
if you didn't hear any of that
I'll give you the spill directly to you.
Anytime you buy a Jelly Roll bundle from JellyRoll615.com
that has a CD in the bundle,
even if you just buy the $4 CD or whatever it is,
that CD sale counts towards our actual sales for the first week,
which is how Billboard registers what falls on the charts.
So this is like a historic moment for us
we have a chance to actually have a top five album in the world that is fucking so hard to do for
artists ever yeah it's you know what i mean it's crazy and it's also crazy how radio
is in general it's like a really, I don't want to say political,
but like they are set in their ways
and they have rules that they follow
and you have to make sure you hit
dot every I and cross every T.
Well, see, this is even different than radio.
This is billboard and RIAA certifications.
It has nothing to do with radio.
This is like the certifications for,
when we get those plaques,
those RIAA plaques,
that certification is ran through
the ri ri double a and billboard is the one who overlooks a lot of that stuff too so it's that
billboard and radio were together no no billboard reports radio billboard reports all charts wow
so every radio station charts album sales charts album stream chart album stream charts, single stream charts, emerging artist charts, which I broke
the record for last year.
Genres.
I mean, they break down.
Every analytic associated with music billboard breaks down in ranks and charts.
Wow.
Crazy.
And the big one is having a top three album.
Yeah.
If you can get a top three all genres album on release week that is like
you know there's very few greater awards in the books you know what i mean well i think you're
gonna get it daddy yeah you always do yeah speaking of radio though we're doing great
we're doing great you just dropped laney you just performed at the acMs with Laney Wilson and did Save Me. Yeah.
How many fucking streams has that gotten already?
Oh, fuck.
I looked today and I had the number.
31 million, right?
I thought that was it.
I had the number wrong.
I called John.
The 31 million was between three songs.
Gotcha.
So probably 10 or 12 million streams.
Still.
That's incredible.
I know what we hit today was the first time we had the most number of listeners on Spotify
in one day.
Wow. I love that. Every little metric we have is this thing is bubbling it's fucking weird let's talk about the cmt awards yeah what am i you know one of the first things that english you know one night
the first when i walked in rogan's podcast his security one of his security guys was there and jamie uh infamous pull something up
jamie young jamie right sweetest dude ever he's an ohio guy too and i can't remember was jamie
the security guy i fucking can't remember his name but i'm so sorry but he said who
where did who videoed you and your wife having that conversation at the awards?
And I said it was on the CMT TikTok.
My wife just took it and transcribed what we were saying.
She said, man, that was the coolest thing ever.
Like that moment where you and I are looking at each other,
and I was like, whatever, dude.
No way we're winning this one.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, let's manage our expectations here.
Everybody told me that that was a live feed, right?
I don't know if it was on TikTok or YouTube and that they did not take the camera off
of us the entire show.
That's awesome.
I wonder how many times I got caught picking my nose.
Oh, sniffing balls.
A thousand.
Scratching my balls and sniffing them.
Doing a little oil check.
Me too.
Me and my fucking anxiety tics and shit.
I'm sure people were just like, this couple is, now we know why they're together they're on drugs yeah no for sure we're over there stone well i drank a little bit
we're over there stone cold sober and i'm fucking scratching my nose literally but cmt awards i
remember you know you announcing that you were gonna do the cmt awards and you know everybody
was just like oh my god jelly's gonna be there blah blah blah it felt like just the momentum of that award show was just already in your favor because it was fan voted it was fan voted it was
the catapult into what's happened the last five or six weeks yeah for sure it 100 was another one
of those like save me moments son of a sinner moment cmt moments but let me tell you what
makes the cmt so special to me.
We'll never get that night again.
We might win Grammys, God willing.
We might win CMAs, but we will never.
I mean, maybe we'll have a night where this happens.
I don't want to say never, never, because God has done a lot of stuff I thought was a never for us.
But a night where we sweep.
Do you know?
I don't know, Daddy.
I think you have it in you.
Man, that was special, though, man.
To go three for three.
It was a first.
Have an incredible.
Yeah, we'll never do it for the first time again.
Right, exactly.
No matter what.
But I mean, just the energy, the performance was everything I prayed it would be.
You know what I'm saying?
So fucking fire.
It's just exactly what I needed it to be.
My little butthole was quivering.
Yeah.
It was great.
It was, dude, Wynonna standing up.
Just so many little intricate
details that happened that were just like yeah i felt like just one god wink after another let's
talk about how much winona loves you i love winona first of all winona is the best listen i am a
judds fucking fanatic oh you went crazy you remember that one time there with the ymca and
they had the truck had the judge on the back and you were like I drove by the YMCA and see the Judds truck and I'm gonna sit here yeah no for sure like I love the Judds I
grew up in a Judds fucking house you know so the fact that Wynonna even is just like obsessed with
you like I don't know if obsessed is the correct word to use with Wynonna but just enamored with
you like she loves you yeah and we feel the same way about her yeah i'm obsessed with winona i think she's just a fucking sweet spirit just genuine um to go through what that woman's
gone through and to be able to share her story and and then walk into that award show and stand
up put her hand to the sky and still praise god because when i told her you know i took her to
the side that night and this is i hope she don't get mad at me telling the story but this is the
truth i said winona i just want to thank you i was like took her to the side that night. And this is, I hope she don't get mad at me telling the story, but this is the truth. I said, Winona, I just want to thank you.
I was like, you don't know what that meant.
When you stood up, it changed the culture of the artist section.
Like everybody at that moment, like you're like a queen in this space.
Like that was a really big deal.
Yeah.
There's her and Dolly.
Yeah.
And she looked at me straight in my eyes and said, oh, I love you, honey.
But it had nothing to do with you.
That was the spirit of God.
You know what I mean?
And it's like two, but, and then that, that gave me goosebumps gave me goosebumps makes me tear up yeah because you think about what she's been through
yeah and that she's still there being able to receive the spirit of god you know what i mean
like and be able to that just was such a there were so many of those little moments you know
what i mean i'll never forget you and her talking in the hallway while me, Lainey, and Hardy were talking.
And I'm looking around going.
This is surreal.
This is unreal.
This is a shift when I'm talking to Slash backstage and I meet the brothers.
His girlfriend just DM'd me.
Oh, great.
I told Mimi.
I was like, Slash's girlfriend just DM'd me.
I was like so happy.
Let's go.
You got to get on the pod.
No, I know.
It's just crazy.
These people that are literally just straight up icons that we have grown up with in both of our households.
As different as our households were, one thing that we had as children that we had the same was our love for music.
Yeah.
You know, and it's like just to be around these people that raised us musically is fucking insane.
You know, I think about I tell my story all the time about how much music meant to me
in my life with my mother and all that stuff.
And I thought about this just now when you said that the impact that probably the only
genuinely happy memories you have from your childhood were when your dad was playing music.
Absolutely.
That's crazy, right?
I never thought of it that way.
Like other, when he wasn't playing music,
it was drunk turmoil, it was womanizing,
it was all these other things that were going on.
Your story's publicized, you know what I mean?
But it was all these things that were happening.
But it was something about when he had a guitar
and, like, how much you correlated that
with the peace of the house.
Yeah, all was well whenever he was strumming.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, yeah, soon as he went, yeah.
My dad would sit in the studio and sing songs.
He would make me be his backup singer, you you know and he would just sit there and play and we would that was the
only way that me and my dad could connect right that's still the only way me and my dad can
connect is over music other than that we don't we can't connect on any fucking sort of level yeah
but yeah no so cmt awards you won three. And then fucking we went straight into the, like literally,
it felt like straight into the ACMs, which was crazy.
Which were awesome.
You got to fucking perform.
With Lainey.
Yes.
That was the coolest part.
Lainey getting on the radio.
Because Lainey's on fire.
Yeah.
Lainey is.
Well, that dumpy is.
Listen, ever since the dump truck went viral, Lainey went viral.
Okay, but here's the thing.
It's kind of like Jelly, right?
People found her ass and then the music was like, oh God, the music's good too.
People found like the funny on your page or the story and they were like, oh shit,
his music doesn't suck.
You know what I'm saying?
So I think what's funny about Lainey's ass going viral is I said something to you before
it went viral.
Yeah.
I was like, she's got a fucking shitter on her.
And you were like, I didn't even look at it, honey.
I was in the studio.
It's not even like that. You know, he's like, she's like you. She has a bigger shitter on her. And you're like, I didn't even look at it, honey. I was in the studio. It's not even like that.
You know,
he's like,
she's like you,
she has a bigger than life presence online.
You know what I'm saying?
But in,
in person,
she's just this tiny little thing.
Yeah.
She's just,
she's just so sweet and down to earth and small that you don't,
but you know what I'm saying?
But then you see her on Tik TOK and all you see is the ass.
You know what I'm saying?
And then in the bell bottoms,
you're like,
damn,
Lainey.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, i was like
slurps up yeah no for sure but i think that was cool because what meant the most to me for her
and i'm so happy one she really slept in a camper yeah she really was here for 10 years trying to
figure this shit out right everybody in town knows her before she made it.
That's how you know when somebody put in the work in town,
when the whole town knows somebody before they pop.
You know what I mean?
And then to see her have a viral moment,
and we joke about it being an ass.
It's obviously a joke, and we love you, Lainey.
You know that. Yeah.
You're more than an ass.
For sure.
But then to see that the music stuck.
Right.
Like when people went and was like, hold on now.
She's fucking dope. Yeah. Like, when people went and was like, hold on now. She's fucking dope.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I think I started discovering
her more from Yellowstone, too.
Yes.
And then you see her live
and she is
captivating.
She captivates.
Like, when she walked up
even after Save Me
and did Grease,
the first time she's done
that, I think, song,
at least, you know,
for a television show, just fucking killed song, at least, you know, for a television show.
Just fucking killed.
Yeah.
Just, you know, just the swag.
Throws the hat off.
Drops the duster.
It's like she's having a moment and fucking owning it.
Yeah.
That's the best part.
When people have a moment, they just walk in like, fucking, I know.
No.
Like, motherfucker, I worked my ass off to get here and I'm not going to let you forget.
And I'm not fucking it up. Yeah. No, for sure. That's her biggest thing. Not only, I worked my ass off to get here, and I'm not going to let you forget. And I'm not fucking it up.
Yeah.
No, for sure.
That's her biggest thing.
Not only did I work my ass off to get here,
I'm not dropping the ball tonight.
I'm fucking going to hit a home run.
Do you ever get nervous singing in front of your peers?
That was, I sounded the worst on the first half of Save Me
than I have any time I've ever sung it live.
I think, one, that it was just the nerves of literally
looking down and I'm
watching and Luke Combs waves
and smiles at me and gives me a thumbs up
and Kane Brown waves at me and Ashley
McBride, I fucking love you.
She stood up. I can't wait to see her on tour.
She stood up and walked three, four steps past
the chair to me and just pointed and said, you fucking
got this. But Stapleton's
sitting right here. Trisha Yearwood's right here.ason aldean aldean's here um all these fucking this is you
know it's the night of the stars and here i am and frankly i'm just not a fuck you know i'm still
not comfortable singing like me and john moneely were talking about this today. Wits at Chapel was the first album I wrote understanding the keys of music.
So a lot of songs that I've sung before,
I've had to go learn how to sing,
even though I sang them
because I didn't know what the fuck I was doing.
So I'm having to find out,
what was I even listening for?
What key was this song in?
I had no music background.
I was a songwriter and a rapper and a melody guy.
So it's like, I'm having to learn. So it's like, I'm already embarrassed. I just had a lot. I was a songwriter and a rapper and a melody guy. So it's like I'm having to learn.
So it's like I'm already embarrassed.
I already deal with anxiety, crippling anxiety.
I already deal with depression and a lot of self-worth stuff.
This is all I wear it.
You know what I mean?
And then you're looking around a room full of people who are top tier,
multimillionaire professional singers.
And you're like, I'm the worst singer in this
motherfucker right now you know when you look around and you're like i don't sing better than
a single soul here you know at least that's how i feel you know but um it was good though it was a
great time and laney meeting me in the middle was just yeah you know that i told i've been i joked
with laney all week long i said laney i am riding your coattail tonight. I need you.
This is all you. That's why when we do the I'm alone, I'd let her hit the lost causes by herself.
Because I was like, I knew where Lainey's at in her career.
I'm like, let me just sit here and watch that moment happen.
I'm just glad to be in the middle of this storm that's happening with you.
Right. Yeah, for sure. But I mean, we watched it and the beginning was shaky, but you sang your ass off for the
rest of that song, baby.
Yeah.
Nerves are expected.
This is your second fucking award show.
Yeah, singing for sure.
Yeah.
I just, you know, it's all right.
I'm over it.
You're fucking amazing.
The good news is we'll get to do it again.
You did good, daddy.
That's the good news.
You're here to stay.
You're not going anywhere, motherfucker.
Well, I'm learning.
I'm just going to keep learning.
I'm working at it. That's the thing. Right. I never took a. You're not going anywhere, motherfucker. Well, I'm learning. I'm just going to keep learning.
I'm working at it.
That's the thing.
I never took a singing lesson until right before the CMTs.
I feel like really, and people might come for me for saying this,
but really iconic, good country singers don't have amazing voices.
No, that's historic through rock and roll.
That's historic through.
It's the grit.
It's the emotion. It's the honesty. yeah like it's just the rawness one thing about it is whether i know what key i'm singing in or not i know nobody's singing with more conviction than i
am right yeah you know what i mean i might not evoke emotion yeah it's like i don't know i know
nobody's you know it's a lifetime of pain coming out of me i don't know what these other motherfuckers
went through you know what i'm saying this of pain coming out of me. I don't know what these other motherfuckers went through.
You know what I'm saying?
This right here for 38 years of fucking trying and fucking failing.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like, I just, I'm just going to go for it anyways.
When you talk about staying power, I feel like you've proven that you have staying power because you evolve.
Oh yeah.
You, it's evolve or die.
And you have literally evolved from, you've been doing music 20 years.
Oh yeah.
That's staying power.
Motherfuckers have known who Jelly Roll is for a long damn time.
I did an interview with Billboard that will be coming out soon,
and we were talking about my whole story,
and the journalist, such a sweet woman, she said,
there's one thing I'm missing.
You had all these moments of light bulbs in your life that went off where you figured out what you needed to do.
But you never had one about music.
So it's hard to follow along.
And I loved her asking that because I said, oh, you know, I've never talked about this.
I never, I didn't need a light bulb for music.
I never wanted anything else.
The light bulb didn't have to go on.
It was never off.
Right.
A light bulb's been on my whole life.
Right.
I never wanted anything but music. I never tried anything but music. didn't have to go on it was never off right a light bulb's been on my whole life right i never
wanted anything but music i never tried anything but music i never i i never had other drink when
i was a kid i didn't write i wanted to be a wrestler or a fireman you know what i mean like
i wanted to do fucking music that's it it's tunnel vision yeah i had a first grade paper where i
wrote my first thing i wanted to be when I was an adult was a rapper.
I've never posted it because I spelled it with one P.
That's okay.
Oh.
Because I was in the first grade.
I was like, it's okay.
We'll post it.
And then she goes, oh.
It's like, yeah.
So it looked like I was a sensitive ass world.
I could never.
So it looked like I was a seven year old saying I wanted to be a raper.
Goals.
No, I'm just kidding.
Totally kidding, guys.
That is so funny, baby.
I can't.
I'm just like, there's so much that you have done since we've gotten together.
And just to see how everything has literally just snowballed and come to fruition.
You're doing American Idol this weekend.
Yes.
I'm excited.
I get to, this will come out after that,
so I'm going to get to sing with Oliver Steele,
which is the kid from Nashville.
Yeah, we love him.
I love his voice.
I asked for him.
Yeah, I wanted to sing with Em Tongue,
but I think he's going to end up doing James Blunt for the song
that he did the first time.
Right.
But I said, if I can't get Em, I got to have Oliver.
Right.
And they said, well, what happens if Oliver don't make the top 12 or the top 20 or something, which I think he ended up making the first time. Right. But I said, if I can't get him, I got to have Oliver. Right. And they said, well, what happens if Oliver don't make the top 12
or the top 20 or something?
Which I think he ended up making the top 10.
But I said, I don't care where he lands at.
He's a Nashville boy.
I want to sing with him.
If I can't sing with my big Hawaiian friend,
I want my Nashville friend.
You love big Hawaiians and you love Nashville boys.
I do love big Hawaiians, big Samoans.
I just love that.
He's got, we have a big Samoan security guard, Maui, and that's like his favorite.
And he talks like him.
Yeah.
He's the best.
I feel like they're your speed.
You guys just get each other.
Just get it, dude.
You guys can grunt at each other and get across to each other.
It'll work.

I think I did this morning because I was just like, no, fuck that.
I'm getting my nut on today.
I was like, I don't care how he wants it.
Daddy has deprived mama of dick and I'm getting it.
There you go. What was. I'll invoice't care how he wants it. Daddy has deprived Mama of dick and I'm getting it. There you go.
What was.
I'll invoice you later.
Yeah, baby.
What was your final I made it moment out of all the accomplishments that you've had this far?
Which ones fed your soul the most?
Ooh. probably, probably last year,
Bailey getting into high school was like,
all right,
cool.
Like I was so worried that first semester for her,
when she just finished her first year or second semester,
but I was so worried that she just,
you know,
cause she was having such a tough time in middle school,
figuring it out at first.
Yeah, let's talk about B. We didn't even bring her up.
Yeah, she was having such a tough time in middle school at first that.
She was having a tough time with us being her parents, too.
Yeah, she had to do a lot of accepting in a lot of worlds, you know, and that first year of high school is rough.
Yeah.
You really start finding yourself.
You start finding your friends.
rough yeah you really start finding yourself you start finding your friend you start making mistakes ruining friendships creating new friendships building bridges burning bridges
because you're learning how to burn a you don't know how to burn a bridge you know you know what
i mean you're like you're learning all this um and she's knocked it out of the park yeah so that
was like we're proud man she's like got her own little group of friends now they all have cars
like we never see her i'm just like like. So when the question said, like, what greatest accomplishment, proudest part.
Yeah.
Fed your soul.
Yeah, like, fed my soul.
Now, if you want to talk about, like, career-wise, right, today, probably CMT, Knight, or Rogan.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're just like, they're just knights that are just undeniable.
Those are, like, fucking bucket list shit.
Yeah.
How do you feel about psychedelics?
Love psychedelics. Big fucking fan.
Huge fan. Been trying to go to EDC for
12 hours. Buddy won't let me.
EDC is more than psychedelics.
That's like crack, fucking anything you
can get your fucking hands on.
Love psychedelics.
When was the last time you fucking shroomed?
It's been a while.
It's probably been, I'd say a year.
You kind of went sober.
A lot of people don't know that about you.
Yeah.
But you, what happened?
I was wondering if it was directly correlated to my obesity.
So I was like, what if I quit drinking and see if just like automatically everything changes and and
I just I think I need to prove to myself I could quit drinking right because I was even getting
worried I was like because I've always said you know when we came off the real drugs you and I
together that and you quit you did everything but I was like I'll keep the weed and the liquor
you know but I was even getting to a point where I was like, this can't be helping my cause.
And we were starting to make the kind of decisions business wise that I want to be sober for.
Right.
So January, February, March, April of this year, I just I didn't have a drink, a drink, a drop at all.
I mean, you went from getting fucking shit face to just complete sobriety.
What did that feel like?
I know what it feels like, but I want to know what it felt like for you, man.
It was. I don't know if I want to talk about this.
And I'll tell you why.
Because I'll talk about it and I'll tell you whether or not I want to release it after we finish this.
I didn't like it. Like those breakthroughs people get, that all, all this made sense to me.
Like I kind of got really fucking sad.
And started really feeling like shit
and then went out and just tied one on
and blew it off and fucking felt incredible.
Right.
And was like, even after the hangover the next day,
I was like, God, I'm glad I just fucking got
one of those out of my system.
Well, coming from a man who has an album
titled Sobriety Sucks, it really does.
Yeah.
I tell everybody, there's nothing pretty about sobriety.
Yeah.
You have to get
to know yourself you literally feel emotions that you've fucking hidden for years like you have to
know everything about yourself that you don't want to know it's the worst feeling in the world yeah
it was it was really rough for me but um what i learned in that process was is that i can drink
when i want to right and i wasn't sure i could. It's not controlling you anymore. Exactly.
Now, I had drugs that I'm scared to death to ever touch again.
Right.
Because I don't think I could control that.
Right.
But I've proved to myself now.
My problem I still have, though, is that when I drink, I don't know how to drink like a
responsible adult, though.
You're a binge drinker.
Yeah.
It's like, you know what I mean?
Like, I don't know how to go have a drink.
Yeah.
Like, who is, the night before their biggest podcast on earth i just get fucking blackout drunk
you called me said mama i was like yes baby you're like i fucked up i'm like shocking
like i already knew that was gonna happen but i'm struggling with it right now because my
my inside little dude that speaks up like what does brantley gilbert say the best he's like
i got an angel on this shoulder but i got a pirate on the other one every now and then that pirate convinces me
to do pirate stuff and it's like i know that we're going to la this weekend yeah and some of the best
memories of my life were drinking on sunset you've been a part of some of those memories yeah and i'm
like i think i'll go have a cocktail saturday and i'm like you're singing on idol sunday you dumbass yeah no have a cocktail sunday yeah you gotta learn how to
responsibly drink if you're gonna do it but you pull it off yeah well i've only drank three times
hell in the last two months yeah you pull it off though man if you have a fucking obligation it
doesn't matter if you are puking two seconds before you're puking in the car on the way there
oh yeah you pull it together and you fucking handle business and then you go you are puking two seconds before you're puking in the car on the way there. Oh, yeah.
You pull it together and you fucking handle business and then you go back to puking whenever you leave.
Have I ever told you my MTV story?
No.
Maybe, but I want to hear it again.
Hold on.
Let me reposition myself because this is a good story.
Okay.
You ready for this one?
So, I'm with a company in L.A. that's pitching a reality TV show on me in 2014, 15 maybe.
And I'm living in a shitty hotel in Santa Monica, which is still Santa Monica, so it's a nice hotel, but it's shitty.
And we're taking all these meetings.
And I would go out to the, what's the spot, man, you go to?
A karaoke.
It's my spot.
I went there the other day without you when I was out there the other night.
Where's it at?
It's right down the street from the Rainbow Room.
It's across the street from the Body Shop, the Body Works,
or whatever the strip club is.
The Cowboy Bar.
Yeah, God, Saddle Ranch.
Saddle Ranch, the Cowboy Bar.
Because you know me, that's how you knew I was coming. The first time we met, I was like, I got a Cowboy Bar out here?
He's like, yeah, I'll take it.
So we're stumbling out of Saddle Ranch.
We go to the strip club across the street.
And we're just fucking, we're just having, you know,
I'm just doing the L.A. thing every single night.
And then we're going to meet with TV networks every day.
And for whatever reason, the day that I was going to meet MTV
was top three hangovers of my life and I'm puking in
the parking lot walking into the MTV building and I finally get in and we go upstairs to meet and
I'm like pale white and like pouring sweat like I'm like in that horrible place and in the middle
of it you know I'm talking to them and them and trying to sell them on this show.
I'm doing a miserable job.
And you could just see it on me. I shouldn't be there.
And finally I get up and I said, where's the
bathroom? And they point around the hall
and I get to the front door of
the fucking
wherever you meet,
like a meeting room.
Right.
And I wasn't going to be able to hold it no longer.
So I reached down and just seen a trash can right there and just standing straight up,
not leaning over to it, just projectile, right in the trash can, right?
It looks like a fucking, fucking goddamn rainbow into a pot of gold.
Just fucking, right?
And it hits the trash can and it splashes.
And at that moment, I realized it was a mesh trash can without a bag.
Oh no.
So here I am.
Oh shit.
It's just,
it doesn't hit.
And I'm puking now.
I'm leaned over it by now and just letting it have it.
And it's just shooting out the sides of this trash bin all over this boardroom.
And all these TV execs are there.
And I am fucking raging to the point where they don't want to stop me.
Because you kind of can't.
Yeah.
You just got to let this thing run its course.
They're probably trying to figure out how to get you out of there without getting everywhere.
It was fucking everywhere.
Oh, baby.
I'll never.
That's like one of those things where you're like, man.
And I've only made that mistake one more time in my whole career.
And when was that?
I had a radio interview.
I'm tempted not to tell because I don't want to get in trouble for it.
But the sweet radio rep that we have at the label,
we just celebrated our number one for Dead Man Walking.
And we go and we walk into the first place,
and I'm so hungover, I'm puking in the parking lot.
But I go in, and we meet, and we hang.
We go to the second radio station that day,
and I just couldn't do it.
We were sitting in a restaurant eating,
and I'd go to the bathroom like every seven minutes.
To the point I finally came out and just sat down
and looked at the table full of people and said, I thought I'd ate to the bathroom like every seven minutes and just. To the point I finally came out and just sat down and looked at the table full of people and said,
I thought I'd ate bad food.
I was so sick.
Yeah.
And I'm sure it was alcohol now that I look back.
Yeah.
But that was the day that I've, until Roe the other night, have quit drinking before anything important.
Yeah.
Because it taught me so much.
But yeah, I was in that motherfucker.
I finally just looked at everybody and said, I just go get an iv that is your answer for everything give me
an iv hey listen if you're really hung over man for 225 they'll knock that motherfucker out
i'm saying for sure what is the biggest misconception about jelly and bunny
you know what i wish we could ask patreon that instead of them asking us right i wonder what
they think what do you think our biggest misconception you know what you know who's
a better answer for that is mimi oh um do you have a microphone uh this right here is recording me
i'll just turn it up a little bit so the biggest misconception well i mean man i think people see you guys so much is that like
rock star life and they forget and i don't think they kind of do through bunny's page but like
how much of a true family you guys are and i'm talking you guys are like family of all family
you guys do family things together you guys are such normal very very normal family people even if you guys don't see that like
you guys still struggle with a lot of the same things that everyday people struggle with and I
think people put you guys on such a big platform that they don't realize that you guys go through
a lot of same shit being parents to Bailey like Bailey. Like, Bailey makes mistakes, too, you know?
And I'm like, you guys have a niece who lives with you and, like, things like that.
Like, you guys are such real people.
And, I mean, probably the most realest people I've ever met.
I never thought of that, the misconception of just how down home we are.
Yeah.
I tell people the biggest misconception they have about you, I tell you what, we'll do it about each other.
Okay.
The biggest misconception I think people have about you is, one, how goofy you are in real life. I always say that about you, I tell you what, we'll do it about each other. Okay. The biggest misconception I think people have about you
is one, how goofy you are in real life.
I always say that about you.
I'm like, you have no clue that
this isn't a podcast or a TikTok thing.
Right. This was Bunny finally being
herself in front of a camera. Right.
I'm on a plane the other night and I'm showing
people pictures of you. I'm showing
the girl that was next to me that braided a picture of you
and I'm like, but you just look so fierce right you just look so you're just so fucking you're
just such a sex symbol just so beautiful and fucking just intimidating and just this presence
of these pictures you want to fuck right here yes and you never smile so it's just always this just
model glare of fuck you and and and for, that's all that Instagram knew about you
was these pictures.
And I was like, if y'all only knew.
This bitch fucking wears glasses and can't see and loses them.
Lights shit on fire by accident.
Yeah, she's like, the story I always tell is that I wake up some mornings
and if you hear me rustling around, I hear you go, hello?
Yeah.
Hello? And I'm just like, fuck. That's how we all greet each other and bug and everybody does it
now like if we if we're all too lonely in the house we all just go hello
hello we know that we're all there for each other you know so I think that's a
misconception that people don't know how goofy you are or how hands-on you are with Bailey.
Yeah.
Like, I would say you probably text Bailey three to one what I do.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm like a true dad in the sense of like me and her are really close.
We're closer now than we've ever been.
Yeah, for sure. But I still know that I'm getting like 33% of what's actually happening.
Right.
From her.
Well,
the responsibility shit.
Yeah.
And I'm getting the other 66 from you.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
That's a misconception.
No,
I love B.
She's the best thing that ever happened.
She's just turned into just the most amazing kid.
I mean,
she's always been the most amazing kid.
Even like the fucking wrong shit she's done is so mild compared to shit that
we've done as 15.
Yeah.
So I think people's biggest misconception of you would be that you are a
pushover.
I think people think that you're because they see how sweet you are and how
giving you are.
He said,
all bless their heart. That was, giving you are he said all bless their heart
that was that was southern man for all bless their heart but i think people think that you're like a
pushover like everybody always says does he ever tell you no i'm like absolutely my husband listen
if daddy says i can't do something i'm not doing it like period and i think that you know people don't realize
that you're a bear behind yeah i tell people respectfully i'm a bear whether you get yogi
or grizzly is on you you know what i'm saying that's my rules that you know i'm a bear yeah
now we can hey boo boo you got a picnic basket or i can fucking we tear this motherfucker up
yeah we'll shut we'll burn this bitch down yeah no for sure but
but i think the biggest misconception of us together would probably be i don't know i think
people don't are so used to like hollywood couples that we're like really best friends
like you're my a1 and that's that and fucking like we just have decided to ride through life together fucking figure it out yeah no matter what happens so I think that you know
people think it's just like we're just like a Hollywood couple and we see each
other in passing but it's like no this is my fucking dude yeah we talk all the
time all day unless unless one of us is unless you're a pod and or I'm what I
call the vortex there's moments in my career where I just like. No, literally.
And at show nights, I text her at like six and go,
hey, you know what's funny.
You know, like I'll give her the briefing.
Sometimes I've seen texts where I've just sent her like,
in Miami, that text was so funny when I was like,
fighters are here.
Yeah.
Dolphins players are here. Yeahphins players are here.
Radio people are here.
Talk to you later.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm just like, crush it, baby.
You have to give your man space, dude.
Speaking of which, shout out to Paige and Austin.
They were fucking awesome.
Let me tell you the funniest thing ever between you two.
I don't know if you guys realize that you do it.
Is that you guys can hang up with each other and two minutes later call each other and answer it like you have not talked to each other
in weeks do you realize that you guys do that no you guys just hang up he'll be like let me call
you right back or just hang up and then it's like not even i'm not joking two minutes later
and you'll answer it like you haven't spoken to him in like years or days or like it's so hilarious.
He just brings me comfort.
Yeah.
What is your ideal man cave?
Hmm.
So my ideal man cave would be and I'm still I'm going to do it one day would be to either have a big building that's sectioned off or multiple little buildings that represented little things of my
man cave like little rooms like this like if this was like a gaming room and then I had another
little building like this one outside of here that was the studio kind of like what strange music did
exactly what Travis O'Gwen did was strange music it would be like like a little compound yeah like
a little compound but he did separate buildings yeah which i thought was cool so it's like for me
that would be ideal even if they were a little like literally this size rooms
just to separate you know what i mean because the problem is i pick up a guitar and start
writing a song and look over and see my video game set up and i gotta join him and i'm not
coming up with nothing quick and i'm like i could be playing call of duty instead yeah you know what
i mean where it's like they were separate buildings, it might not be as tempting.
No, I love that, actually.
So our next house that we get with fucking acreage,
we need to do that.
That's the goal.
Yeah, I love that.
When you need to clear your head
and you go for a drive,
what's your go-to music?
It depends on what I'm going through.
Like, every year on Dad's anniversary,
I listen to Grandpa's Never Die.
I actually have that playlist.
It's like the grieve smoke a
joint playlist on his anniversary um and it's always mood driven just kind of like wherever
i'm at right and sometimes if i'm really really really sad i'll listen to something like bob
marley or um was it bobby mcfarran or billy mcfarr? I'm high. Bobby McFerrin. Bobby McFerrin. Like, don't worry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll like listen to like something uplifting if I'm really down.
That's crazy.
See, I'm the opposite.
When I'm really down, the last thing I want to hear is happy music.
Like, fuck happy people.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
If I'm down, I want to hear sad music.
Oh, okay.
Gotcha.
I thought you said what I meant.
But like, if I'm like really, really, really down.
Yeah.
I need something encouraging. Yeah. I listen to Christmas music. Yeah. Like if I'm like really really really down yeah I need something encouraging
yeah
I listen to Christmas music
yeah like if I'm
yeah that's a good one
see that's kind of like
like if you're really down
it makes me happy
like her
like Jessica's Andrews
know who I am
if I'm feeling worthless
you know what I mean
I'm Rosemary's granddaughter
spitting in the hands
of the father
but shit like that
I just
so many different
shits
I love that
I listen to fucking
gangster rap yeah she's like put on money bag y'all put on fucking brother lynch brother lynch
baby all day any day if you could write a song about one specific happy memory from your childhood
what would it be write a song about one specific i feel like mobile feel like Mobile Home. Yeah, I think Mobile Home's already that song.
Yep.
Will there be any other different ones?
I don't know.
I think maybe one day I want to write the Streetlight Kid song.
Aw, yeah.
You know what I mean?
So I will.
I'll write the Streetlight Kid song one day.
I love it.
I think you need to fucking write one called The Comeback Kid.
Yep.
Literally.
Better fucking know it, baby.
Are you going to write another rap album yeah i talked to stoner
the other day stoner stone baby stone um which we did a podcast with stoner and this audio somehow
fucking got fucked up and we're still trying to figure out how to put it out but it's such a good
podcast i got a plug for you on that i talked talked to somebody yesterday. Really? Yeah, that's on David Lucas's team.
Yeah.
That has found this AI product that can take semi-shitty audio and bring it out.
Okay, well, I have been so bummed about it because it's such a good interview.
Stoner is just fucking such a good interview.
His story.
We love Stoner, yeah.
Him and his wife's story.
Yeah.
It's just fucking salt of the earth.
I just looked at, he posted a picture of his oldest kid like 12 or 13.
Crazy.
And it was perspective
because that baby was a baby baby.
Like three months old
when I first went to Stoner's house
to record a song.
I met Stoner before he had the baby at all.
No, for sure.
But I remember the first time
I went to his house.
But yeah, we talked the other day.
Definitely gonna do a rap album.
We're gonna do a rock album.
We're always gonna put out
the music that feels right to us right then.
Do we have to wait another year for another album?
No, I don't know if we'll wait that long.
Yeah.
But you also don't want to step on something working.
Right.
What I learned with Save Me and Son of a Sinner were,
they were instantly impactful, but they took years to become big songs.
Right.
So sometimes where my bottle has always been just
drop drop drop drop drop when i finally took a second to breathe and just let music breathe for
a second it fucking found its way everywhere wow so it's once i've like figured that out i was like
whoa maybe i need to just like sit like even need a favor we dropped need a favor december 5th
as a point it's still growing yeah december 6th or
something and it's or yeah or yeah was it six what day did i play nashville ninth the night
so whatever that night was the night and it's like it's just now in the top 20 on country radio
so like needs time to marinate and just reach everybody yep it's crazy when you can just see
how a movement just grows.
It's so fun to watch.
It's nuts.
And it's fun.
It's so even cooler to be in the middle of because I've watched it happen to everybody but me and you.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like, oh, it's our turn.
Are we getting a turn?
Is this a turn?
Daddy, you've had a few turns.
I'm so proud of you with all this.
I know I keep saying that and it gets so redundant, but it's like dude just watching the growth from when we
first got together is insanity dude well equally hell i thought i think about this podcast all the
time you do it you've been doing it five years and i always forget and tell people because to
me you just started it yesterday so i'm like yes you've been podcast for a couple years and you
set me straight one day he's like bitch i've been podcasting for five years and i was like whoa
shit well you you want to know something?
It just creeps by you, though.
You know what I mean?
So here's the thing.
I'm going to tell you what the secret is behind my success.
And I probably should never fucking ever give you this, but I'm going to give it to you.
So the two things that I have held steadfast with is this podcast and this weight loss thing that I've been on for the past two years.
When I first started the diet, my husband said to me, you're not going to be able to
stick to that.
And I was like, oh yeah.
Has there been a little bit of proven me wrong?
Oh, for sure.
And then when I started the podcast, we, I forget what happened, but I was getting frustrated
with it.
And I was like, I don't want to fucking do this.
And he was like, you know what, buddy, you give up on everything.
You never follow anything through. And i was like i don't want to fucking do this and he was like you know what bunny you give up on everything you never follow anything through and i was like oh yeah and here i am because i was like no i'm gonna fucking show him that i can do
this and it was like it wasn't like i wasn't mad but i was like he's right yeah like i've
fucked this i'm gonna fucking do it and i did. So. And broke the mold finally.
Right.
And fucking it went.
Yeah.
Because if you think that was, you know, God, when I said it, it was true.
Right.
Even hearing the American Idol story.
Exactly.
You didn't go to the second audition when you could have.
Yeah.
You didn't follow.
You know what I mean?
Like all these.
So now I've watched you get your real estate license.
I've watched you just go conquer one mountain at a time.
Yeah.
And I finally was like,
if you'll stick to this,
this shit will fucking work.
But I don't,
it's still in my mind.
It's been two years.
Right.
And I look up and it's been five years of you potting.
And it's like,
holy shit.
Not one of you built such a,
you know what I mean?
When I talk to people about your TikTok and they're like,
it's just amazing to me how big her TikTok's got.
And I said,
not me.
She uploads six times a day.
She comments back. Two different comments. Yeah. I was like, she comments's getting. I said, not me. She uploads six times a day. She comments back.
Two different comments.
Yeah, I was like, she comments to everybody.
I was like, it's obnoxious.
I was like, I asked her, like, find a social media person,
like, buddy, like, yeah, I'll leave.
But to me, like, I'm such an analytical brain.
To me, that is just accomplishing goals.
And it's like, it's a means to an end.
You know, it's a bigger, there's a bigger picture. You want to answer it's a bigger there's a bigger picture you want to answer any more questions are you done i will answer a couple
more okay we should answer just so we have enough to get a you know what are some of your toxic
traits um not following through same yeah not not following through. Same. Yeah, not following through on some of the important stuff
and acting like I am the person in charge of what is and isn't important.
Right.
You know what I mean?
So because of that, you don't follow through on things
because they're not important.
Right.
You know what I mean?
And I understand that important is subjective.
Right.
Because I'm learning that too.
Because I have friends hit me all the time.
Like, hit me, it's important.
And then you find out they just need $300.
And I was in the middle of some real shit.
And I'm like, this was important to you.
This ain't important.
Right.
You know what I mean?
But it's like being more conscious of that.
Give me, what's my most toxic trait?
Passive aggressiveness.
But you've gotten so much better at it when we
first got together you were very buddy d ford yeah and i remember i used to be like baby stand
up to these motherfuckers and say no you know like if you don't want to do something say no
and now you you're not passive aggressive anymore now you're just like hey man listen i'm just going
to shoot it to you straight i heard you do it with you know your manager today yeah like and i was like go daddy go because you know you
are you're a people pleaser too so you want to just make everybody happy and you know i didn't
have anything going for me for so long that it's hard to say no when people when you're not allowed
anywhere or never invited anywhere and then people start inviting you places, your instinct is like, yes.
And my, you know what I'm saying?
It's like, fuck yeah.
Oh, no.
The whole, all last year, he was yes to everything.
Yes.
A yes to everything.
And then, now my problem is, I over yes because I have such a heart for things.
You know what I mean?
Like, I've seen like five things on my calendar in the next month, and I was like, I didn't
really need to sign up for that,
but it goes back to the subjectiveness of important,
but it was really important to this person if I did.
And I love that person so much that even though I don't really want to do
it,
I'll do it.
You know what I'm saying?
And it's like,
and that's a,
I think that's a problem I've got to start learning to deal with too.
You know,
I think you've been doing really good.
You and we stand a King that goes to therapy. Yeah. You started, you've been doing really good you and we stand a
king that goes to therapy yeah you started you know doing the work with your guy absolutely
and kind of figuring stuff out so that all stems from like childhood but i'm proud of you but that
if i could name a toxic trait that would have been the only one you don't you're not really toxic
we were toxic in the beginning but we're on drugs we were on drugs and we had a lot of trauma and baggage and shit that we didn't.
We didn't know how to love properly.
Your parents didn't have a normal fucking marriage.
My dad fucked everybody.
Yeah, we had no true examples of that.
So we kind of had to figure it out on our own.
And I think there was just a breaking point on Christmas Eve of 2018 where we had a huge fight.
And we both were just like, dude we're gonna stay in this we have to
change yeah you know and it's like either we're gonna go this way or we're gonna go apart yeah
and i think that was a deciding factor for both of us because we were both so tired of it that
we were just like bro it's make or break time yeah and we just buckled down and fucking figured it out did what was right that's true yeah no for sure um let's see
what rapper in a past life would you have wanted love to meet
hmm that's i mean the obvious is parker big right yeah for sure pimp c yeah pimp c for sure i would
have really really really loved to have make do with Pimp C.
I would love to see what Pimp C thought about what's happening in the world today.
Just he had such wild fucking views and just said the wildest shit anyways.
That Pimp C would be an absolute monster out here right now.
Yeah, for sure.
Dude, that would be crazy.
We're getting ready to go on tour with fucking 36 Mafia.
Insane. Talk to Paul and Juice both separately, but both in the last 48 hours.
Oh, the TikToks.
I'm going to make Paul and Juice.
Oh, dog.
They're in.
I know.
Oh, they're so in. Oh, fuck.
They're trying to be great.
I can't wait.
It's going to be fucking hilarious having these two gangster ass dudes.
Yeah.
Just fucking icons doing TikToks with me.
Yeah.
They'll love it.
I can't wait.
Tour's going to be a blast.
What's the city that you're looking forward to going to?
I think all of them.
I think I'm so, I'm not even just excited about the cities.
I'm excited about some of the people opening.
And the fact that like every seven shows we get new openers.
Yeah.
So that's like so awesome.
It's like a revolving door, but like of new people.
Yeah, the most obvious too is that I'm looking forward to Struggle being there every night.
Right.
And my secret guilty pleasure is that Josh Adam Myers is doing the tour.
Yeah, that's the comedian, right?
I couldn't remember his name.
Who is he?
Can you fill us in?
So Josh Adam Myers is a comic, been around forever, super OG.
Found out him and Kill Tony started together recently.
They didn't start recently.
I found out recently that they started together.
But he does the
goddamn comedy jam too, which I've seen at
Skank Fest the night that we played Vegas.
And it was just so good, man.
It was like comedy, but singing
rock music and funny stuff in between.
And he's just
he's the epitome of
when music meets comedy.
Like as a one person. You know what I mean? Chris Porter's like that too, though. music meets comedy. Right. Like, as a one person.
You know what I mean?
Chris Porter's like that too, though.
Josh Wolf's like that.
Those three dudes are like when music can actually meet comedy.
They're all great dudes, too.
The thing was, I should have,
I'll probably take Josh or Chris next year.
The difference is, I know,
I've never seen Josh with a band.
Right.
Which I'm sure he could do it.
And I've never, I've seen Chris play with a band. But like, I've only seen Josh with a band. Right. Which I'm sure he could do it. And I've never, I've seen Chris play with a band.
But like, I only seen Josh with a band.
Right.
You know what I mean?
So I was like, oh, this can work.
Like, this can actually entertain.
Because the problem with doing comedy at,
this is the gift and the curse of music.
I can do music at a comedy club and people be like,
oh, that was cool.
Not what we came to see.
But great.
Some dude came out and sung before
Joe Rogan went on.
But for a comedian
to do something
before music is different
because the audience
has a different anticipation.
Yeah.
But there's also
a cool story
of you asking him
to tell that.
Oh, when I got
blackout drunk
and showed up
to Skank Fest
just out of my
fucking gourd and was like, I'm taking you on. Yeah. And showed up to Skank Fest just out of my fucking gourd.
And was like, I'm taking you on tour.
And I'm going to give you this much money tonight.
And fucking, he was just like, what?
And then I didn't talk to him for 10 fucking months.
And I cold called him from the CAA office, my booking agent.
And said, hey, we're fixing to announce this thing Friday.
Are you still coming on tour with me?
And he's like, dude? I've never talked to
him in my life except for that night drunk.
He was like,
Steve Byrne told me
that you were
going to call me. If you said it, you meant it.
Love Steve Byrne.
He said, Steve Byrne told me that
you were going to call me if you said it, you meant it.
I love that. How does that feel that people know that your
word is bond?
It feels great.
Yeah.
It's one of the things I'm most proud of is that, you know.
It's another reason I sign up for a lot of shit and go through to those that like,
if I tell you a dog is going to shit ice cream, grab a spoon.
You know what I mean?
I hate that fucking analogy.
How do you maintain such a positive? Well, he's not shitting shit.
I mean, but.
He's shitting ice cream.
It's still coming out of his butthole.
Whatever, it's a clean butthole.
I'll lick it.
Well, then why wouldn't
you eat the ice cream
coming out of it?
Yeah.
I'm just kidding.
How do you maintain
such a positive attitude
with the whole world
trying to tear you
and Bunny down?
You guys are the
biggest inspiration.
Huh.
Yeah, let's talk about it
because fucking I had...
You had to give me
a pep talk yesterday.
Yeah. I literally... I don't feel me a pep talk yesterday. Yeah.
I don't feel like people are tearing us down.
Yeah.
I feel like we're surrounded by so much love.
So much building.
And those that know us, know us.
There's always going to be shitbags who want to see the fucking bad in people.
Right.
If I snap at somebody, of course it's going to be taken the wrong way because I'm not
allowed to fucking not be nice to somebody who's not being nice to me.
Right.
Like, we're held at a higher standard, but I think, you know, you have to give me pep talks all the fucking time.
Yeah, I just, I don't think anybody's like, let me choose these words diligently.
I don't give a fuck what people gotta say about us
like I know what our heart is
I just made my pussy work
right
yeah
I like it
that's when he gets mean
I just don't
I know what my spirit is
I know what I've done wrong in life I know who I've wronged
know how I've wronged yeah outside of that I have done nothing but try to create a new I've sowed
I've completely replowed the field of my life absolutely I've completely replanted the seeds
I've completely re-watered my garden changed my irrigation system i am you know it's i know
my heart i know your heart i know what my intention is i know how many people i help
i know how many people you help i know how much i've done for the for my family and that we don't
publicize or nor will we ever ever i know who we are as humans so i know that because we're good humans and we got
a good message that we're winning right now
and I know that there
is a group of people in life that just don't like
to see people win literally as
fucked up as that sound there is
literally people in life that
don't want to see people do good
so real you know what I mean like they just
don't they're so fucking
miserable and they're so fucking
disgusted that somebody else
has got an opportunity that they felt like they
were entitled to or that they should have got
or that they could never reach because they didn't work their ass off
period and it is a fucking hater
mentality man it is sad
and you know what I am a little
empathetic of them
because I too have been a young hater
now I struggle with these 40 50 60
year old fucking men yeah and women and moms and dads yeah but it's like I remember a time in my
life where something good would happen to somebody whether I knew him or didn't and it would just
just because I was doing so bad in life and I was such a bad person yeah that it just discussed so
I would look for a reason why that shouldn't have been credited absolutely I would try to discredit why well that only worked because he had radio
yeah or that only worked because he had a good team or a good father or a good mother he had
somebody's money or he had an investor or he had and I would look for these little reasons to
discredit somebody's fucking work yeah so i see it and i just immediately
feel kind of bad for the person comment when i'm like man i remember being that miserable human
yeah that sucks that you're just looking for anything not to be what you think it is like
you hate that a man like me could marry a woman that looks so good and has so such the charisma
of my wife that you were reverted to just she's a gold digger or you know what i mean like like
your mind automatically has to put an asterisk to it right because you just can't comprehend that
i'm fucking it it breaks your spirit and it really what really hurts is i'm a good dude right and
you're not and you're reading that and you're and it's just yeah it's just fucked up. So I don't fuck them people. What I'm focused on is the tens, tens of thousands of people who.
Millions.
No, no, no.
Let me finish.
The tens of thousands of people that subscribe to your Patreon.
Yeah.
What I'm focused on is the hundreds and hundreds and thousands and millions of people that
download the Dumb podcast. What I'm focused on is the fucking,
I don't even remember the number of the 300 and fucking 400 million streams.

for the day suck my dick soft for real fuck all of y'all you know what i mean like i fucking it's
disgusting to me how people treat people on the internet yeah and how people could have a mean
spirit like that and it's even more disgusting when you sometimes get mad enough to go look up
who these people are and find out they're parents. Right.
Do you know how embarrassing this generation is going to be that kids are going to grow up one day
and find out that their fucking mother
commented hateful messages under strangers?
Yeah, just weird. Under strangers,
bitch. Your daughter's going to wake up
one day and realize
that her mother commented
hateful messages under a
stranger. a stranger.
A stranger.
A person they don't fucking know at all.
Yeah.
And left a hateful,
like, they're gonna have to live with that.
Yeah.
I won't.
Their daughter's always gonna look at that bitch or that dude like he is fucking weird.
Just clowns.
Period.
Clown behavior.
