00:00I feel a little nervous to be here in the presence of people's sexiest 34-year-old
00:05man on the planet.
00:06True.
00:07Down year.
00:081990 down year, for sure, when it came to sexy guys, but still proud to be at the top
00:12of the pile.
00:13No matter what.
00:14What was your reaction to that news?
00:15I was very, heavily surprised.
00:19Heavily heavily surprised.
00:20I thought it was maybe like most cheeseburgers this year or something, and I was like, that
00:25could make sense.
00:26I'm hoping you get an entertainer of the year to go with that.
00:30Maybe we're redefining sexy.
00:31That's what's going to be my next album title, Redefining Sexy, and it's going to be guys
00:35that shirts don't fit that good, and they fall asleep on the couch watching football.
00:41If that's sexy, I'm your guy.
00:43Nailing it.
00:44I'm your guy.
00:45I'm your candidate.
00:46That's what it is.
00:47How have you been?
00:48How are the boys?
00:49How's the family?
00:50They're so awesome.
00:51It's been great.
00:52What are they into right now?
00:53What phase are they in?
00:54What are the kids into?
00:55We're into dinosaurs, and we're into the pool.
00:58We're into swimming a lot.
00:59Okay.
01:00Have you seen that?
01:01As a little boy, you make your entire identity about a tractor, a truck, a ball, or a dinosaur.
01:07My kid has all the dinosaurs drive the tractors and stuff.
01:10That's what's going on right now.
01:13We're watching a lot of ... I think it's an Amazon show called Stinky and Dirty is the
01:20name of it.
01:21Wow.
01:22They're best friends.
01:23One is a tractor.
01:24One is a truck.
01:25They're best friends.
01:26What a fun time for you.
01:27They figure out how to move trash around and stuff.
01:29It's pretty ...
01:30That's incredible.
01:31It rips.
01:32Yeah.
01:33It's pretty cool.
01:34Wait.
01:35I saw the craziest thing yesterday on Instagram.
01:36Go.
01:37Go.
01:38Megan Maroney was in the Beer Never Broke My Heart music video.
01:39Did you know this?
01:40Did you see this?
01:41I have heard rumor of that.
01:42Whether it's true or not, I can't be certain.
01:43Well, I saw the photo, and I was like, I'm 90% sure it's-
01:44Maybe.
01:45I would imagine at that time, she would have probably been an extra.
01:47Right?
01:48I would think.
01:49How wild is that?
01:50We've never met.
01:51Oh.
01:53I don't know.
01:54I feel like I've heard that at least one time, but I'm not certain.
01:57Crazy.
01:58All right.
01:59You are performing-
02:00Yes.
02:01You're performing.
02:02... on the CMA Awards in 11 Oklahoma.
02:03Tell us a little bit about this, what you're excited about.
02:04Yeah.
02:05It's going to be sick.
02:06We got all the crazy effects and stuff, which we've never done.
02:07We've never done fire and smoke and all that shit.
02:11We're doing that this time, because I feel like the song warrants it.
02:14Usually I'm like, let the song speak for itself, but this time I feel like the song would just
02:20be better-
02:22Yeah.
02:23... with a bunch of cool fire and stuff, which is usually not the case.
02:24It's fun to have a song that's also on a motion picture soundtrack that comes with a lot of
02:29visuals.
02:30Yeah.
02:31It's like a big thing.
02:32It's like that big thing.
02:33So normally we wouldn't do that, but yeah.
02:34Who are you most excited to catch up with during commercial break?
02:36I always love when they go to commercial and everybody gets up and scurries around and
02:39says hi.
02:40Yeah.
02:41I'm a big Keith Urban guy.
02:42I really love him.
02:43He's one of the nicest guys-
02:44Doesn't he just make you feel so good?
02:45No.
02:46He does.
02:47He's one of the nicest guys on the planet.
02:48He always loves to sit.
02:49We're sitting close.
02:50Cody Johnson, I love him.
02:51I've seen him for a bunch.
02:52I haven't seen him in quite some time.
02:53So excited to catch up with him, but mostly just sneak drinks with my wife in the front
02:58row.
02:59There we go.
03:00I always get this little-
03:01You get a little flask?
03:02I got stuff in there.
03:03Good stuff.
03:04I got shit in there you don't know about.
03:05Luke Rolmes, it's so good to see you, as always.
03:06Good luck this week.
03:07Good to see you, man.
03:08Thanks, guys.
03:09Appreciate it.
