And it's not even the outfit itself, 59 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: it's when he was getting interviewed on the carpet by Brilin. 60 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: By the way, Brilin did a great job all the hosted, 61 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: but Brilyan I thought. 62 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: Was crushed it. 63 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: I thought I was like, he should not that I 64 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 3: want him to steal my job. But hey, I'm like Brilin, 65 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 3: I would love to co host something with him. I 66 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: feel like he's so good at that. 67 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, he did a great job, and he had a 68 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: great job of like connecting with the artists, you know, 69 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: as a fellow artist himself. But going back to who 70 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: he interviewed, it was Mitchell Tenpenny. And the reason I 71 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: say Mitchell Tenpenny is because he had the bolo tie 72 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: and he had a Texas look to him, and Brilin 73 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: asked him like you got the Texas five going today. 74 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: We've seen him in the studio and outside the studio 75 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: and it doesn't really dress like that. And he's like, yeah, 76 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: I ain't got this today. 77 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 2: Of course he did.

I'm gonna look like I live in 80 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: Texas and I'm front Texas. 81 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: He looked like he did at his wedding. 82 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 3: Like when his wedding photos came out to Megan, they're 83 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: all wearing cowboy hats. I was like, I'd never seen 84 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 3: Mitchell wearing a cowboy hat before, but he rocks it. 85 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, he looked great. He rocked it. And I just 86 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: thought him saying, yeah, I went out and bought it 87 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: this today, like he didn't try to hide it, and 88 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: he said, yeah, this is what it's like when somebody 89 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: comes to Nashville and they go out and buy, you know, 90 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 1: a cowboy hat and they wear it on Broadway.

But his little shout at the end, 170 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 3: since I'm a mom to wish everyone happy Mother's Day, 171 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 3: I loved he didn't thank his fiance, so I thought 172 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 3: when he won the next award, I was like, Okay, 173 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 3: surely he's gonna thank his brand new fiance. 174 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: And he did not. 175 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 3: So I'm like, Cole, if you're listening, don't miss her 176 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: on the next acceptance. 177 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: Speech, right, you got to tell him send him a text. 178 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 3: Man, I'm gonna literally right now, be like, dude, you 179 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 3: just got engaged. 180 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: I do love the Mother's Day thing because he came back, 181 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: he gave his speech, and then everybody, the writers all 182 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: the other writers talked to them, and he came back 183 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: and and said, Happy Mother's Day all the moms out there. 184 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: So I did love that as well. Me too, but 185 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: I think we can both agree. The best it made me, 186 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: literally lol, was Hardy. 187 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 2: I think I messaged you. It was like, did he 188 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: really just do that? As he did? 189 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: He walked up and said, I forgot to spit my 190 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: dip out before I came up here, so I got 191 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: a dip in right now, And he just went on 192 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: and went on about his business. Typical Hardy form, good 193 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: old country boy just doesn't care, walks up there and 194 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: big old'ipper in his mouth and accept an award. 195 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it would not be an ACM Awards 196 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 3: without like something like crazy like that happening during you 197 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 3: don't know or don't expect that you're going to win 198 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 3: an award. You're like in the bathroom or you're with 199 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 3: a dip in like Hardy. But he still was able 200 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 3: to speak really well, which I've never done dip before, 201 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 3: But I feel like it would be tricky to not 202 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 3: spit at some point. 203 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: If you're a seasoned veteran. For sure, he probably has 204 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: done it for so long that he just swallows it, 205 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: which is very tough to imagine. And I mean I've 206 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: done it times on accident, never on purpose. So Hardy 207 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: is a veteran in the dipping world. But his speech 208 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: was awesome and just coming up there and doing that. 209 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: And we were talking about the most fun to sit 210 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: within the audience if you were at that show, if 211 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: you had to have a seat next to somebody, who 212 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: would it be with or people? 213 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 3: I mean, I would say Hardy, But now that I 214 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 3: know he was doing dip and spitting in a cup 215 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: in the front row, I'm like, well maybe not. But honestly, 216 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 3: Landy Wilson is one of my favorite people ever. Every 217 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 3: time I'm with her, I always have the best time. 218 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 3: And I just know she, no matter what win or lose, 219 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 3: like she was going to be having a party and 220 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 3: enjoying herself. So I would want to sit with Laney. 221 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: I can't go wrong with that. Laney. And now Duck Hodges, of. 222 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 2: Course, yes, I know. I guess I'm skeoching him over thought. 223 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: You're like, you got to excuse me, Doug, but mine 224 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: would be and they didn't really show him. I was 225 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: kind of upset as Jelly roll I don't know where 226 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: he was sitting. 227 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: He obviously maybe he wasn't sitting, he was partying somewhere. 228 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: That's probably true. He said that on the red carpet too. 229 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: They're like, hey, how's your You know you been here 230 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: in Texas? How's your night going? Like we've been partying 231 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: since Monday? 232 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: And he's not lying, no, no, he is not lying. 233 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: So I would just love to sit next to jelly Roll, 234 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: be anywhere with jelly Roll, and to be at an 235 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 1: event like that would be awesome. I can't even imagine 236 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: just how loud he was and how much fun he 237 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: was having, because he's just joyful no matter what he's 238 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: doing and no matter where he's at. So mine would 239 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: have been jelly Roll for sure. And moving on from that, 240 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: the host. 241 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: Two hosts, two hosts. 242 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: So I was so excited when I found out that 243 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 3: Garth and Dolly were co hosting the awards, because one, 244 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 3: I love Dolly Parton, I mean who doesn't, and I 245 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 3: feel like she's so great at it. But Garth Burk says, never, 246 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 3: I've never seen him in that kind of position before. 247 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 3: But as if you've been to a Garth show, you 248 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 3: know that he's he basically is a host every night 249 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 3: when he performs because he's so good. So I just 250 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 3: was kind of intrigued to see what he was going 251 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: to be like as a co host, and I feel 252 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 3: like he crushed it because he never felt like he 253 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 3: was reading off a teleprompter. I mean at times he was, 254 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: but I just think that that's something he should do 255 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 3: more of personally. And the two of them were together 256 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 3: was really cool. A lot of like royalty up there 257 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 3: and Dolly. I love her outfits. They are just so 258 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 3: good and the goat bringing the literal the goat coming 259 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 3: out on stage at the beginning. 260 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: The great thing about Garth was and like you said, 261 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: he's got such a presence on him and he's performing, 262 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: but he was up there with Dolly and he kind 263 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: of knew it. He'd let her be the star of 264 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: the show because as big as he is, which is 265 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: crazy to say, Dolly is even bigger. 266 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 2: She's the goat. 267 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: She is the goat exactly. So I thought he did 268 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: a great job of letting her even though they were 269 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: co hosts. She was really the star of the show 270 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: all night, even with the end performance with her new 271 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: song at the very end, and I thought they just 272 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: they teamed it well together. They gelled well together, and 273 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: like you said, he was very smooth with everything he did. 274 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: And I thought they were just awesome together. They were entertaining. 275 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: I hope they get them again next year. I truly 276 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 3: I did enjoy them. I was wondering where he was 277 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 3: going when he was talking about the goat and naming 278 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 3: all of these incredible men. I was like, you have 279 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 3: not listed one woman, sir, And then I was like, Okay, 280 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 3: I see where you're going with this. But yeah, the 281 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 3: amount of awards that were given out tonight was overwhelming. 282 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 3: Did you have any that kind of shocked you? I mean, 283 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 3: we'll get into it more, but was there a category 284 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 3: that kind of blew your mind? 285 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say necessarily a category. I would say overall Colswandel, yeah, 286 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: and how much he won. And I'm not hating on 287 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: it at all. It's just that shocked me more than anything. 288 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it started with Colswondell, whom won the first award, 289 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 1: and then the Song of the Year she had me 290 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: at Heags Carolina, and I think it's just the background 291 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: of Heads Carolina right that everyone loves and Jody Massina 292 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: that performed it. And it was great, So I was surprised. 293 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: That was my biggest surprise, probably of all the awards. 294 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: It's how many he took away. 295 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, me too, and not like you said. I love 296 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 3: that song so much and it's so cool for them 297 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 3: to bring back such an iconic nineties song and have 298 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 3: Jody Massina on the show. But I just was not 299 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 3: expected him. I think the second award he also was 300 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 3: not expecting to get because you. 301 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: Look at all those songs that are nominated. 302 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 3: I don't know who chooses them, but it would be 303 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 3: a really tough job because I could not do it. 304 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: Oh, because they're all so great. You're like, yeah, that's 305 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: gonna win. No. Eight, that's gonna win. Wait I know, 306 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: Oh that's the winner. You're like, oh, okay, she had 307 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: me a head Carolina. 308 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 3: But it is a jam, and I feel like maybe 309 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 3: we should encourage people to rewrite epic nineties songs. 310 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: It's going well. 311 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: For it's going well, Let's keep doing it. 312 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Let's run through the awards then real quick, and 313 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: we'll start with the ones that were announced the night 314 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: before New Male Artists of the Year. The finalists were 315 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: Bailey Zimmerman, Dylan Scott, Nate Smith, Zach Bryan, Jackson, Dene, 316 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: and Ernest. And the winner was Zach Bryan, which was 317 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: a little surprising only because he's not really on the radio. Yeah, 318 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: but he's got such a big following and he's such 319 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: a great artist. So like me personally, I was like, well, yeah, 320 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: that makes sense, but it was just a little surprising 321 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: in the sense of he's not as well known throughout 322 00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: the country as maybe say somebody like an Ernest or 323 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: even a Bailey Zimmerman of course too. 324 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, honestly, that category was so stacked because, 325 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: especially in the new era with social media and the 326 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 3: amount of TikTok fans that people have and stuff like that, 327 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 3: artists like Nate and Bailey, Nate Smith and Bailey Zimmerman, 328 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 3: like these guys at the start of their career already 329 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 3: have such a massive fan base and people that show 330 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: up for them in such a huge way.

We just talked about Cole, yeah, 365 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: and he won. 366 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 2: This and the Song of the Year. 367 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 3: Like, you have to really look up how these songs 368 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 3: are chosen, because you know there is reasons why they 369 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 3: choose Song of the Year and Single of the Year. 370 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 3: There's certain criteria that they have to match and stuff, 371 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 3: but every single one of those matches the criteria to 372 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 3: be nominated. My personal favorite out of that one has 373 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 3: always forever been Till You Can't Buy Cody Johnson, Like 374 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 3: that song just blows my mind. But I'll be honest, 375 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 3: I feel like all of those songs are ones that 376 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 3: I've listened to multiple times over the past year. So 377 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 3: when he was announced, I didn't go, eh, I don't 378 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 3: think that's right. 379 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: I was just like damn good for you, Cole. 380 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: I know, yeah, same here. My personal favorite probably would 381 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: be and I thought it would win just because it's 382 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: who he is, Chris Stapleton. You should probably leave because 383 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: just Chris Stapleton, just so you hear that voice and 384 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: you can't go wrong with that. That's one of my 385 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: favorite songs from him, for sure. 386 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 3: Group of the Year, So Nominee's Lady a Midland Old Dominion, 387 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 3: Little Big Town in Zach Brown Band and Big Surprise 388 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 3: for the sixth year in a Row Old Dominion.

I did have a feeling that Laney 446 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 3: was going to take it home with heartle Like a Truck. 447 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: I thought she would be the winner.

I thought came Brown and 454 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Brown had a chance as well, just because of 455 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: their duo, the husband and wife aspect of it. It's 456 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: a great song.

She has a 463 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 3: singing background but hasn't done a lot of performing. 464 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 2: Prior to this. I was like, girl, you are a powerhouse. 465 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. Did you go to their Nationville show or no? 466 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 2: No? I didn't go? 467 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, so I went to that show a what 468 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: a month or two ago and we're all anticipating, Okay, 469 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: how she's gonna sound live. It's a whole different ballgame 470 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: right live on stage in front of a crowd, even better, 471 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: really even better. 472 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 2: Surprised honestly, I was like. 473 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: She has overtaking the stage from Kane, and Kane Kane 474 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: knew it. He's like, go ahead, girl, it's all yours. 475 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: So she sounded great. They sound great together. And let's 476 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: go to Male Artists of the Year now with Chris Stapleton, 477 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: Kane Brown, Jordan Davis, Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs being 478 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: the finalist. Now, Morgan Wallin won, But did you think 479 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: that anytime Chris Stapleton's on the list, I always think 480 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: it's going to be him winning, and then Luke Combs 481 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: is another one. But Morgan, he takes it home. It 482 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: sucks he couldn't be there. Yeah, six week thing, and 483 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: Garth did a good job of talking for him at 484 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: the end there. But I got to say I was 485 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: a little surprised Chris or Luke didn't win. As big 486 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: as Morgan is now and as much as he's crushing it, 487 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: I just thought mall art of this Year Male Artists 488 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: of the Year might have gone to either Chris or Luke, 489 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: but I'm glad for Morgan. 490 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 3: I personally, and I just had this gut feeling, which 491 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 3: obviously I was wrong. I thought for sure Caine Brown 492 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 3: was going to take it home. I really did, mainly 493 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 3: because most people would have expected Luke or Chris or 494 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 3: Morgan to win it. And I was just like, you 495 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 3: know what, No, this is Caine's year, this is Kine's year. 496 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 3: I really felt like I had, you know it right. 497 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 3: And then when they announced it, obviously Morgan is so 498 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 3: deserving of it, and I'm bummed for him, but I 499 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 3: do think as far as snubs go, I still feel 500 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 3: like came Brown how he has, he didn't win anything tonight. 501 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 3: I'm just like, man, that guy deserves some awards. 502 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was surprising, I will say that too. I 503 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: mean nothing at all I thought he would win. Yeah, 504 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: you're right, Male Artists, ye or something Single of the 505 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: Year like we just talked about, But he didn't really 506 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: take up anything. That was very surprising. 507 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, Female Artists of the Year, such great ones. 508 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 2: And I'm going to talk about a surprise in this 509 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 2: one in a second. 510 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 3: But Kelsey Vallerini, Laney Wilson, Carly Pierce, Ashley McBride, Miranda Lambert, 511 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 3: and Lane Wilson was the winner. So deserving and all 512 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 3: those ladies are so so talented. The big surprise to 513 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 3: me in that category was that Carrie Underwood wasn't nominated. 514 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: Did that not shock you a little bit? 515 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 3: Yeah? 516 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: I didn't really, I mean didn't process in my head 517 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: until you wrote it down on the notes and I said, hey, wait, 518 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: what where is she? 519 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 3: I thought it was a typo when they first announced it. 520 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 3: I was like, surely they got this wrong. Right, she's 521 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 3: nominated for Entertainer. Come on, guys, I just think she 522 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 3: should have been nominated. But either way, Laney Wilson so deserved, 523 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 3: Like this is the Year of Laney Wilson, it really is. 524 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 3: And I she could not be a more deserving human 525 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 3: to have all those things happening to her. But her 526 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 3: acceptance speeches were so so incredible. I just love her 527 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 3: because she's so well spoken, Like I've interviewed her a 528 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 3: bunch of times, and she's just somebody that when you 529 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 3: are interviewing her or talking to her she's speaking, you're 530 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 3: listening to every word she says. And she's so inspiring 531 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 3: that I feel like she probably inspired a lot of 532 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 3: young performers sitting at home watching. 533 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, she has that presence about her too, even people 534 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: who don't like country music, or maybe not my mom 535 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: being well, she likes country music. But she texted me 536 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: last year, I think it was during Cmas and she's like, 537 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: Laney Wilson is amazing. Yeah, everyone loves Laney Wilson. 538 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 2: She is and she's just so fun. 539 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: Yeah.

But what 582 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 3: I want to say about the Entertainer of the Year 583 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 3: category is I loved how they did the videos, Like 584 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 3: it was like a show opener video before every single entertainer. 585 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 3: It was just so exciting. It was kind of like 586 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 3: the fight song playing before they came out. I was like, 587 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 3: this is cool. This is a new thing. I've never 588 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 3: seen before. 589 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: It's like a boxer walking out to the song or something. 590 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: I like, yeah, that's that's a good call. Actually, that 591 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: was awesome for them to do. 592 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 2: That pumped me up. I was like, all right, let's go. 593 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 3: Jason Aldine, Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton, Carrie Underwood, Kane Brown, Lukecombs, 594 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 3: and Morgan Wallen. 595 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 2: That's a stacked category. 596 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: That's unreal. 597 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 2: And Chris Stapleton took home first time winning that's surprising 598 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 2: Entertainer of the Year at the ACMs. 599 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: Now, my first thought when I saw that was, I 600 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: guess he's not a huge entertainer, uote unquote. You know, 601 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: he's probably got the best voice overall on the songs. 602 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: But when I think of entertainer, you might think of 603 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: somebody more along the line of Morgan Wallen, Kane Brown 604 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: up on the stage, maybe entertaining. I saw Luke Combs 605 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago here in Nashville, and that was 606 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: a hell of a show. 607 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 608 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 3: I think it's like, what is your definition of a 609 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 3: great entertainer? And that can be such a broad answer 610 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 3: because there's a lot of people fans that would say 611 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 3: Chris Stapleton is the entertainer of the year because when 612 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 3: they go to a show of his, they're blown away. 613 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 3: But there's you know, when I go to a show 614 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 3: and I see Kerrie Underwood put on a show like 615 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 3: it's a Las Vegas residency every night and she's changing 616 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 3: five hundred times in the show like she's amazing, Right, 617 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 3: So I think it kind of depends. I would love 618 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 3: to hear fans take on that award because I bet 619 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 3: you would be there'd be so many different answers to 620 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 3: who to comb Entertainer of the Year. 621 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a very open award. I wanted to do 622 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: like a poll or something, but then the poll would 623 00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: have to be like, but leave a comment here and 624 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: every but he's comments a little bit different. Yeah, but 625 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: I agree, I don't. I didn't see Kerry this year 626 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: either perform, but I heard her shows are absolutely unbelievable. 627 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 3: She's incredible. But I mean, like you said, Luke Combs, 628 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 3: I've seen Jayson Alden, Miranda Lambert, like, they're all such 629 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 3: incredible entertainers, and so is Chris Stapleton. So I just 630 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 3: loved his pure shock. I've never seen him get quite 631 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: that emotional in an acceptance speech because the guys won 632 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 3: a lot of awards, right, but that one really blew 633 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 3: him away. 634 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 2: He was not expecting that, right, Yeah. 635 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: And he talked about his kids and you know how 636 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: he takes time away from them and he's really appreciative 637 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: of them, like understanding, and yeah, that was a surprise 638 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 1: to me too. I was like, way, is he gonna 639 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: cry a little bit right here? Because yeah, he definitely 640 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: got emotional, which is something he's very stoic, very just 641 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: straight face. This is what you're getting. You get my 642 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: beautiful voice. That's about it. 643 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 2: Listen, that's it. 644 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: Exactly exactly Well, we already talked about our biggest surprise 645 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: with Cole Swindell, what about performance of the night? Talking 646 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: about a little bit, but did you have a favorite? 647 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: You got a list of about seven of them. 648 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 2: I'm like that person that's like, just pick one, and 649 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 2: I'm like, can I have three?
