Speaker 1: All right, welcome to episode. It's Labor Day, Monday, and
Speaker 1: I didn't work this morning, but woke up and I
Speaker 1: saw that the two thousand seventeen CMA nominations were out.
Speaker 1: As I thought, we would run through some of these
Speaker 1: and not pick who I want to win or I
Speaker 1: think deserves to win. Oh do we gotta get about
Speaker 1: the studio? Let it keep rolling. This is what we have.
Speaker 1: We have an old table from college that I had,
Speaker 1: and if I went to college, I had two two.
Speaker 1: It's how long ago I've had this equipment. There we
Speaker 1: go putting the microphone back up. Good jeez, I guess
Speaker 1: it gets millions of listen. Okay, So it's not who
Speaker 1: I think is deserving who I like the best, it's
Speaker 1: who I think will win. It makes sense. So it's
Speaker 1: just if I were Vegas, if I were a betting man,
Speaker 1: are I telling you who to bet on? Who I
Speaker 1: think is going to win, not who I think deserves
Speaker 1: to win, not who I want to win, but who
Speaker 1: I think will win. And so here are your full lists.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the big one here, and these
Speaker 1: are the Entertainer of the Year awards and so up
Speaker 1: for Entertainer of the Year Are Garth Brooks one day
Speaker 1: or you'd never find so needn't think you never ever
Speaker 1: spending in all your time. Luke Bryant The Second Town
Speaker 1: feels more like thirty tick, all stop and round, Eric Church,
Speaker 1: cool On, Chris Stapleton and Keith Urban's good old. This
Speaker 1: always an interesting category because Garth Brooks one it a
Speaker 1: year ago. I think because it was the fifth right,
Speaker 1: he won the big one because it was like the anniversary.
Speaker 1: It's two years ago, two years ago, and I think
Speaker 1: a lot of that had to do with that. I
Speaker 1: love Garth and he tours like crazy, but he hasn't
Speaker 1: had a lot of radio hits, none actually, um So
Speaker 1: I think Entertainer of the Year kind of accompasses all
Speaker 1: of that, and it comes is what are you touring?
Speaker 1: What do you radio? What do you do anywhere else?
Speaker 1: And so because of the lack of radio I don't
Speaker 1: think Garth Brooks wins it this year. I think he
Speaker 1: deserves to be up there because he's playing shows like
Speaker 1: nobody else is. I'm excited to see the Eric Church
Speaker 1: was nominated because Eric Church gets left out of this
Speaker 1: category a lot when I think he's deservingly so Luke
Speaker 1: is the biggest star in our format, and Luke will
Speaker 1: win at more times than nine. Who won it last year?
Speaker 1: Luke win it last year? Held? Who is it? It was?
Speaker 1: It was Garth last year? Okay. Last year was fiftieth.
Speaker 1: It was last year in Dallas. They go to Dallas
Speaker 1: last year over then day, Um, okay, so I think
Speaker 1: it would be in the fiftieth. Had a lot to
Speaker 1: do with Garth winning it last year, not that he's
Speaker 1: not deserving, but I think that helped in his favor,
Speaker 1: is that it was this big ceremony and a lot
Speaker 1: of grades were back and he is arguably the biggest
Speaker 1: country star we've ever had and he's still active. So um,
Speaker 1: I take Garth out of it. I take Stapleton out
Speaker 1: of it because as much his music assault and that's
Speaker 1: a part of it, he doesn't have the rest of it,
Speaker 1: meaning he doesn't have the entertainer part of it that
Speaker 1: people are gonna want to see. I think it comes
Speaker 1: down to Luke and Keith with I think this year
Speaker 1: some of these Luke Garth Church folks are gonna split themselves.
Speaker 1: I think Keith Urban wins Entertainer of the Year this year.
Speaker 1: I think He's the one probably that people expect least.
Speaker 1: But Keith has radioheads, he tours like crazy, he does television.
Speaker 1: But I think Keiths wins Entertainer of the Year this year.
Speaker 1: Who you got? I got Luke Learning, Yeah, I mean Luke.
Speaker 1: I think Luke's the easy pick. If I were gonna
Speaker 1: tell someone about money out it, I would say bet
Speaker 1: Urban because odds aren't gonna be as bad as Luke's looks.
Speaker 1: Probably favorite, but Keith. I think Keith wins it this year.
Speaker 1: I'll just go into I think Keith winsted this year.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see here these females of the Year.
Speaker 1: Females of the Year Kelsey ballerine by, Miranda Lambert, Reba,
Speaker 1: Maren Morris, and Carrie Underwood. Miranda wins this one, walking
Speaker 1: away like nobody else has a chance one this, But Miranda.
Speaker 1: I think if Carry we're still putting out music, and
Speaker 1: if Carrie were still like HER's you're tired right now.
Speaker 1: Basically she finished tours like I'm not putting out any music.
Speaker 1: I'm good. Yeah. I don't think Carrie wins because of that.
Speaker 1: If she were still cranking it out, I think she
Speaker 1: should have been up in the entertainer of the your category.
Speaker 1: But she's not last year, right, because she kept cranking
Speaker 1: away and ran I had a bunch of songs bombed
Speaker 1: even before this album, like missed a bunch of songs.
Speaker 1: Um it. There's not even outside shot here. I mean
Speaker 1: Reba being in a Reba isn't doing anything. She put
Speaker 1: out this little record here, I say, a little, this
Speaker 1: one record, but she's not like touring like crazy or
Speaker 1: did she have a t I think this goes to
Speaker 1: the lack of females that are making noise right now
Speaker 1: that Reba is in this category. She's obviously one of
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time, and I think she's awesome
Speaker 1: and she's been super nice to me, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I think if any other female had two hits, they
Speaker 1: would be up in this, but I can't think of
Speaker 1: any to do. So it's easier to put and it's
Speaker 1: better to put reb in there then to take someone
Speaker 1: who's like a new artist and throw him up into
Speaker 1: this category. Because I think last year Martina McBride was
Speaker 1: in the category or something like that. You know, there's
Speaker 1: always that that's just because there aren't a lot of
Speaker 1: current females. So Randa Lambert went just went easily. I
Speaker 1: just don't see anyone pressing her for it at all.
Speaker 1: Miranda went it easily. I don't even know who i'd
Speaker 1: picked second, Marin or carry Or I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know Mike. I mean i'd go, yeah, Miranda, but I
Speaker 1: think second, I'd go with Marion just because she had
Speaker 1: a big year. She had a big year. But I
Speaker 1: think she was didn't she win him one last year?
Speaker 1: She was nominated, like I guess she wanted Graham maybe, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's it's easy. I think Mirandon wins this
Speaker 1: one walking away, So you want Miranda too. Over here,
Speaker 1: let's go to male vocalist Dirks, Eric Church, Thomas Red Drinking,
Speaker 1: Chris Stapleton, Keith Turban Shading. All right, might go first,
Speaker 1: I say Eric Church. Yeah, I think Stapleton wins it
Speaker 1: because when people say male vocalist, it's not entertainer of
Speaker 1: the year, it's who sings. I think Stapleton went to
Speaker 1: male vocalist two years in a row. Yeah, I do,
Speaker 1: because he put out another freaking record that out sells
Speaker 1: everything else I would like to see, and that we're
Speaker 1: not apposed you like to see about a care I
Speaker 1: would like to see Dirk's when this one, because Dirk
Speaker 1: is always like second place. I do see whether it's
Speaker 1: a scenario where like the Churches and Stapleton split the votes,
Speaker 1: because I don't think Keith urban one this because like
Speaker 1: people canna vote for him for Entertainer of the Year
Speaker 1: and you're not. You're not going to see someone win
Speaker 1: both categories, or you haven't in recent memories. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna just the one win Entertainer of the Year. And
Speaker 1: male vocalist. Male vocalist is kind of the I don't
Speaker 1: I don't want need the soccer reference, but how about
Speaker 1: male vocalist is kind of the wild card in baseball?
Speaker 1: You know, you know, you didn't quite get the Entertainer
Speaker 1: of the Year, but you got the second place category.
Speaker 1: That and female vocalists like I mean, one could argue
Speaker 1: that Miranda should be an Entertainer of the Year over
Speaker 1: I mean, I could put her over Garth, and I
Speaker 1: love Garth, but for this category, I could put Miranda
Speaker 1: over Garth, But then Miranda hasn't. That's a tough one.
Speaker 1: If they switched those two out, I wouldn't be angry
Speaker 1: with it, but also wouldn't force it. I think Luke
Speaker 1: deserves that Church deserves Aldine completely shut out again again.
Speaker 1: He went to the entertainer of the Year at the
Speaker 1: A C M S and then get shut out. Different voters,
Speaker 1: there's different voters. What's the commercial here, Sleep Number I
Speaker 1: literally just woke up from my Sleep Number bed. You know,
Speaker 1: I talked about my Sleep number bed and how how
Speaker 1: great I sleep, and my setting is thirty. My dog
Speaker 1: sleeps in my sleep number bed. He's actually in the
Speaker 1: room right now. You may hear him rolling around on
Speaker 1: the carpet right now because he had a great sleep
Speaker 1: on a Sleep number bed. And maybe you've considered a
Speaker 1: Sleep number bed and you thought, maybe I can't afford one,
Speaker 1: but really, can you afford another restless night's sleep? So
Speaker 1: great news. There's never been a better time to go
Speaker 1: to a Sleep number store where all the beds are
Speaker 1: on cell during the biggest sale of the year. This
Speaker 1: is a picture you should get right here. The dog
Speaker 1: doing the Bobby Guys with me right here has already commercial.
Speaker 1: Maybe you've considered it. The sleep number bed. Let you
Speaker 1: choose the comfort and the support that's right for you.
Speaker 1: It adjust It adjusts on each side, perfect for couples
Speaker 1: and so now, but there is that new sleeping more
Speaker 1: through six. But I don't have this bed yet. It
Speaker 1: is so smart it actually senses your every move and
Speaker 1: adjusts to you so you can sleep comfortably throughout the night. Man,
Speaker 1: it's smart bed. That is crazy. That's why I need
Speaker 1: my sleep number setting us already go to right now,
Speaker 1: let's see what's happening here on Innovative, a limited edition
Speaker 1: beds now through labor Day. Go to sleep number dot
Speaker 1: com to find one year you there, you go? I
Speaker 1: do it really love that bed though? That's do you guys?
Speaker 1: All right, let's see here. So we picked mail vocalist.
Speaker 1: I picked Stapleton, You picked Eric Church. All right, keep
Speaker 1: track of these. It's a whole different story if we
Speaker 1: pick who I want to win, but that ends up
Speaker 1: getting me in trouble. Uh, let's see. How about Single
Speaker 1: of the Year. Now, what this is and here's the difference,
Speaker 1: is that Single of the Year means it's an award
Speaker 1: to the artist, the producers, the mixed engineers. It's like
Speaker 1: how they make the song sound like when you hear
Speaker 1: it through speakers. It's not just how good the song is.
Speaker 1: It's remember John Mercham in the studio, I'll being like,
Speaker 1: listen to just the recording of this song talking about gravity,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what single is like, the recording
Speaker 1: of the song, the instruments, the voices, how they're layered.
Speaker 1: And so here are the nominees. A Little Big Town
Speaker 1: better Man, I just kiss you and I'll just tsh
Speaker 1: you Blue Anchor Color from Keith Urban's It's good o
Speaker 1: Body like a back room back. It wanna be funny
Speaker 1: if sam ha won, not because he shouldn't, but because
Speaker 1: the old the regard of they don't want him to win.
Speaker 1: You know, I would love to Samhan win. This guy
Speaker 1: like just out of my own one. I would love
Speaker 1: to see that, or John Party darted my boot because
Speaker 1: this is the most progressive old school album I've ever
Speaker 1: heard in my life, because it sounds like a Sam
Speaker 1: Hunt record with the cowboy hat. Might have a little
Speaker 1: but I'm taking You. And then Miranda tin Man alright,
Speaker 1: you don't who do you think wins? It might d
Speaker 1: I would say a little Big Town Wow. Really, I'm
Speaker 1: torn between one the Miranda Lambert vote, where a lot
Speaker 1: of people feel bad for her, but this she's not
Speaker 1: getting played on the radio, but radio is not the
Speaker 1: end all be all, but she's still selling records. It's
Speaker 1: like Stapleton not only can play on the radio that much.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. Radio people always go radio. Doing
Speaker 1: that matters. It doesn't look at these artists who are
Speaker 1: selling records with that radio. I think people, well, if
Speaker 1: they just see Miranda's name up there, because they feel
Speaker 1: like she's one been in a bad life situations, why
Speaker 1: she made the record and to it's such an arts
Speaker 1: the record. I think people like the arts the record,
Speaker 1: it's a good record, saying it's not. I think it's
Speaker 1: Miranda or Keith because of the old school sound of this.
Speaker 1: It's good on I mean that would just sounds so
Speaker 1: different than anything else. I think Party and Hunt they
Speaker 1: had a nice they get nominated. It's good for them,
Speaker 1: but there's no way they win, not because they don't
Speaker 1: deserve it, but because they don't get voted for by
Speaker 1: the voters that be. I think it's it's hard for
Speaker 1: anybody to vote against Miranda. But I'm gonna go Keith
Speaker 1: Urban blew Out Your Color's good. But this sounds more different,
Speaker 1: more distinct than any of the other songs. Dude, But
Speaker 1: Darling and all right, moving on, let's do the album
Speaker 1: of the Year. The Breaker from a Little Big Town,
Speaker 1: From a Room Chris Stapleton, Heartbreak Lady and a Bellum,
Speaker 1: The Nashville Sound, Jason Isabel in The four Unit, and
Speaker 1: The Weight of These Wings Miranda Lambert. I think Miranda
Speaker 1: Lambert wins this one again. Oh boy. The Chris Stapleton
Speaker 1: win is the is the tough one there when you
Speaker 1: have too that are so heavy, you can have a
Speaker 1: split and people can vote for both of them as
Speaker 1: someone else could sneak through. I think it's pretty funny
Speaker 1: that Jason Isabel is in this because not that he
Speaker 1: doesn't deserve to be, because I listen to ISAB music.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not my thing, but here's the guy
Speaker 1: who's always talking about not being accepted by country music
Speaker 1: is being accepted by country music. Um. Boyth that Miranda
Speaker 1: and Stapleton thing is tough. I'm gonna go with Miranda
Speaker 1: again because Stapletons have to have From a Room Volume two.
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like a full project. Maybe there are
Speaker 1: as many tracks rand it was a double album. I
Speaker 1: think that probably gives her Album of the Year. Who
Speaker 1: would you pick for it gave you that great argument.
Speaker 1: I go Stables. Yeah, I think it's just stronger. It's
Speaker 1: a tough one, and I think people want to vote
Speaker 1: for Chris too. But Miranda put out a double album,
Speaker 1: a double album, and she's the underdog. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: Miranda win. I ain't Miranda wins this, but she won
Speaker 1: the a CM Album of the Year, but Stabled it
Speaker 1: wasn't in that one yet. You don't know how hay
Speaker 1: all right. Song of the Year. This goes to the
Speaker 1: songwriters Better Man, which is written by Taylor Swift, Blew
Speaker 1: Out Your Color, Body Like a Back Road, Dirt on
Speaker 1: My Boots, or Tin Man Song of the Year. I
Speaker 1: just don't think people are gonna vote like Body for
Speaker 1: a backgroupd by Like a Back Road. That's the biggest
Speaker 1: song our form had a scene in years, in five years,
Speaker 1: it's the biggest song our format a scene in years.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna vote on it. I just removed Dirt
Speaker 1: in My Boots and Body Like a Back Road because
Speaker 1: those two artists haven't paid their dues in the mind
Speaker 1: of the voter. Because you gotta remember, this show is
Speaker 1: a little different than a fan voted show. I think
Speaker 1: Dart I think blew out your color wins again, Keith
Speaker 1: been blowing your color Song of the year you I
Speaker 1: think Tim Man wins for this one. You're going with
Speaker 1: the cool Mirando vote. There see where we got your
Speaker 1: Vocal Group of the Year, Lady. It's always a tough one.
Speaker 1: The tough part is always who do you vote for?
Speaker 1: A Little Big Town or Zach Brown Band. That's always
Speaker 1: the thing, lady. A little big town, Old Dominion, Rascal Flats,
Speaker 1: Zack Brown Band. It's just between Little Big Town and
Speaker 1: Zach Brown Band. And I think it's a little big
Speaker 1: town because they actually stay in town, are really nice
Speaker 1: to everybody. Not the Zach Brown isn't, but he's not around.
Speaker 1: And I think the political game is a big part
Speaker 1: of it too. Like they play the Rheman, they do
Speaker 1: the residencies that Rheman. They're more a little big town
Speaker 1: wins again. Bocal Group of the Year, Nuts, Mike d Nuts.
Speaker 1: I always Zack Brown Band is the best band I
Speaker 1: think in the history of country music. Now do they
Speaker 1: have the accolades yet that Alabama has no nor will
Speaker 1: they on the awards or record selling side because the
Speaker 1: culture is different. But as far there there's never been
Speaker 1: a better banded country music in Zack Brown Band, just
Speaker 1: from all the pieces and how amazing each of the
Speaker 1: artists are in that band, the show they put on,
Speaker 1: they're they're at. In my opinion, arguably there's never been
Speaker 1: a better band. And he's like Brown Band and Cutch
Speaker 1: of music. But I don't think they win a little
Speaker 1: big talent went to Vocal Group of the Year in
Speaker 1: my opinion. Vocal Duo of the Year Dan and Shay
Speaker 1: Florida Georgia Line low Cash, Maddie and Tay Brother's Osborne. Now,
Speaker 1: a couple things stick out to me. One here. Maddie
Speaker 1: and Tay got dropped from the record label just a
Speaker 1: bit ago, and I think they resigned with someone else,
Speaker 1: but they got dropped because they had they had no nothing,
Speaker 1: They had no hits, no songs. I like them, but
Speaker 1: this again, this shows you lack of vocal duos that
Speaker 1: I mean, the Raging Idiots probably sold more albums than
Speaker 1: Maddie and Tay. Like I'm not I would check that,
Speaker 1: but I mean that's probably They're probably close there. Um,
Speaker 1: A couple of these people I've actually talked to today, uh,
Speaker 1: Dan and Jay. I talked to Dan and low Cash.
Speaker 1: One of the guys had their baby and they did
Speaker 1: they weren't. The first tax they got about was for me.
Speaker 1: I text President. I was like, dude, I'm of everybody
Speaker 1: on the list, I'm happy it's for you that you
Speaker 1: and he was like what he was like, holy cricket.
Speaker 1: My favorite nomination of this entire list is low Cash
Speaker 1: being nominated for Vocal Do It Over the Year. It's
Speaker 1: my favorite one because if you listen to the Bobby
Speaker 1: cast of Preston, just listen to the story, You're like, man,
Speaker 1: that is just grinding it out over years and perseverance,
Speaker 1: and they're not going to win. It's gonna come down
Speaker 1: to f g L and Brothers Osbourne again. And FDL
Speaker 1: hasn't won the last two times. A c M or
Speaker 1: c M A. I kind of like for him not
Speaker 1: to win again. But who is it in your mind?
Speaker 1: F Jello Brothers Osborne again, I think takes it back?
Speaker 1: You think so I'm gonna go Brothers Osborne again. I
Speaker 1: just can't allow myself to say Florida Georgia Line wins
Speaker 1: Musical the end of the year. This is different. Two
Speaker 1: artists get together, craving you. Thomas Rhett with Marion Morris,
Speaker 1: Funny How Time Slips Away, Glenn Campbell, Willie Nelson, Killer Word,
Speaker 1: Eric Church with Rihanna Giddins, set in the World on Fire,
Speaker 1: Kenny Chesney a Pink and Speak to a Girl, Tim
Speaker 1: mcgarawf Fate's Hill. I don't even think this was close.
Speaker 1: Did before I say? Who? Do you think this one
Speaker 1: was close? I mean, I don't think so. I don't
Speaker 1: reasons close. I think it's Kenny j Hasny a Pink
Speaker 1: by Mile. I don't know how anybody else wins this
Speaker 1: Speak to a Girl with Tim and Faith. That wasn't
Speaker 1: a hit kill a word from Eric Church. People don't
Speaker 1: even know that was a thing with another artist. It
Speaker 1: sounded like and and also it just sounded like Jennifer
Speaker 1: Nettles was singing baground vocals on it more so than
Speaker 1: it was a featuring because no one ever said Eric
Speaker 1: Church featuring Rihanna Gettins. That was never said on the air,
Speaker 1: which just Eric Church kill a word. It wasn't like
Speaker 1: they featured it being a musical at the end of
Speaker 1: the year, and that could be the fault of the
Speaker 1: people who promoted it. I never said it was written
Speaker 1: on my screen to say it featuring Funny, how time
Speaker 1: slips away, Glenn Campbell, Willy Nelson. H Um, that's not
Speaker 1: gonna win if if one pops up, it's Thomas Rhett
Speaker 1: with Marion Morris. But I think it's a little too
Speaker 1: contemporary and current to win. You don't need the Kenny
Speaker 1: songs too kind of cool. I don't because it's Kenny Chesney,
Speaker 1: and Kenny Chesni has been seeing my Entertainer of the
Speaker 1: Year multiple times. I just I don't. I think easily
Speaker 1: Kenny Chesney with Pink wins set in the World on Fire,
Speaker 1: and is that the big the biggest hit of those?
Speaker 1: I believe you. I know they Thomas Hart song was
Speaker 1: the number one song. But who are you gonna pick?
Speaker 1: Craving you? Your opinion is as good as mine. New
Speaker 1: Artists of the Year Luke Combs, No, he only has
Speaker 1: one hit. Old dominion, multiple hits should be in the running.
Speaker 1: John Party definitely should be in the running. A great
Speaker 1: Brett Young because his two hits sold so well. I
Speaker 1: could see that Lauren Alanna one hit she will win,
Speaker 1: and of all of them, I think hers is probably
Speaker 1: the least known. So I eliminate Lauren Atlanta. I gonn
Speaker 1: eliminate Luke Combs too new Old Dominion. Nobody knows who
Speaker 1: they are, Like if they walked down the street, you
Speaker 1: wouldn't know who they were. Great songwriters. They have two
Speaker 1: albums now a bunch of hits. I think John Party
Speaker 1: or Brett Young and I go with John Party as
Speaker 1: new artists of the year. Put out a great record.
Speaker 1: He's got You're gonna have three number ones other time
Speaker 1: this is over. I mean that California Sundard. It's sold
Speaker 1: like crazy. People people like the guy. So John Party,
Speaker 1: who do you have? I also have John Party. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the Broadcast Awards. I'm not even
Speaker 1: talking about us. I'm like, I'm out of that. My
Speaker 1: phone was blowing up this morning and I was like, right,
Speaker 1: so there. I think it's all the awards. Huh, who
Speaker 1: would you like of all these? Of all the awards,
Speaker 1: you get to pick. You get to decide on one
Speaker 1: award in one winner, Like you get to pick your favorite.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how crazy or how ah underdog they are.
Speaker 1: What's the one award that if you got control of it,
Speaker 1: you would take control and make someone a winner? I
Speaker 1: would say Entertainer of the Year. Eric Church, Wow, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're seeing him live? Is like, it's crazy, like, nobody
Speaker 1: does that. Have you seen I agree, he does something
Speaker 1: that nobody does that. Have you ever seen Keith of
Speaker 1: Gonn play live concert like a full show? Yeah, to
Speaker 1: show here, I've just never seen something like that before.
Speaker 1: That's something that dynamic, like the day. Both are It's
Speaker 1: different things, I completely, but both of them aren't a
Speaker 1: fart to Garth show. I've never seen Garth. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean we can talk about Keith and Eric Church. Go
Speaker 1: to a arts show and then come back and tell
Speaker 1: me to Eric Church or Keith Urban. I mean, so
Speaker 1: we started talking about those. The Guards show is the
Speaker 1: best I've ever been to in my life, and I've
Speaker 1: been to all that I've been. I've seen Urbans, I've
Speaker 1: seen all of them, and they're all fantastic and all deserving.
Speaker 1: The Guards shows the best show I've ever been to
Speaker 1: in my life. Bye to Notch and not even close.
Speaker 1: And that's why he should be in the Entertainer of
Speaker 1: the Your category. The only person I could say has
Speaker 1: an argument in there is Miranda. I'm surprised that al
Speaker 1: Dean didn't get nominated. For anything again. But it's common
Speaker 1: for out Dean not to be nominated at c m
Speaker 1: as UM forever. We just had that distinction out tonight
Speaker 1: for years. Tonight, I think we got a pity vote. Um.
Speaker 1: If I got to control one category, it would be
Speaker 1: for male vocalists, and I would give it to Dirk's.
Speaker 1: I think he deserves it. I don't think he'll win it.
Speaker 1: I mean, when you hear the word vocalist, you hear
Speaker 1: who can sing the best, and nobody sings with Stapleton.
Speaker 1: I would give it to Dirk's because Dirk is right
Speaker 1: on the edge of being up in the entertainer of
Speaker 1: your category. He just was always finished in like second place. Man.
Speaker 1: He puts out great hits after hits, song after song. Man.
Speaker 1: I also just really like him. Also a really good
Speaker 1: live show. Also a really good live show. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be tough stake down Stapleton. But you pick church
Speaker 1: in that category to g I think you have a
Speaker 1: boner Ferry Church. Maybe how long has it been We've
Speaker 1: been twenty six minutes, Okay, I think that's pretty good. Huh.
Speaker 1: Always no, like when people wake up, my calendar starts
Speaker 1: to fill up. I have a texture from Preston hold on,
Speaker 1: buttered up? But butter up? Yeah? Anyway, all right, I
Speaker 1: guess that's it. Uh, okay, I'm responded to text. Now
Speaker 1: people are going, I can't believe this person didn't get nominated.
