WEBVTT - Best Bits: JUST THE BITS 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:03.480 It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. I 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:05.040 feel just the bits. 0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:07.360 What's up, everybody, Happy weekend. 0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:09.720 I hope your weekend is already starting off amazing, and 0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:11.920 this is just going to make it that much better. 0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:13.320 I had Scuba Steve on. 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:15.680 With me for part one in part three that Part 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.119 three were always answering listener Q and A, which I 0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:21.160 put up on my instagram on the show's instagram, so 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.000 you can submit questions that way. But we talked about 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:27.040 some things on the show and his favorite thing about 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.200 each of his kids. And then part one was just 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:31.960 a conversation between two friends catching up on life and 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:33.040 what's been going on lately. 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.760 I shared a really streets kind of funny. 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:39.040 Also, I was angry story about men in uniform, and 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.560 Scuba talked all about life with his kids. So really 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:43.760 good stuff on both of those. But if you're just 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:45.480 here for part two to catch up on the show, 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:49.440 let's go. Lunchbox says his wife doesn't have a sense 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:50.040 of humor. 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:51.440 Something went down. 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.000 With back to school supplies and he thought something was 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.280 funny and she said absolutely not, And now he thinks 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.760 she doesn't have a sense of humor. But you can 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.600 just tell us, are you team Lunchbox or team wife? 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.119 After you hear this number seven, Lunchbox claims his wife 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.200 has no sense of humor. I would argue, I think 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.640 she's very funny. But Lunchbox, what happened between you two guys? 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:14.480 So my oldest kid is starting kindergarten and I thought, Okay, 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:16.880 this is a great time to have some fun. So 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.880 we went shopping for a new backpack and I brought 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.280 him home with a Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey backpack. 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.720 And it's a picture of it, and I think, hilarious. 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:28.760 You send him to school the first day with that 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.360 backpack just to kind of see the faces and like 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.520 get reactions and then he can go with his spider 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.280 Man that he picked out. But it's kind of funny. 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:41.039 It's a funny thing. And my wife was absolutely not. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:42.880 We can't do that, like. 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.240 No sense of humor. I'm just shocked you don't have 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.400 a sense of humor about it. Like a Jack Daniels 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:48.520 backpack is funny. 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.040 People see it, They're like, WHOA, what's that kid in 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:52.880 kindergarten wearing a Jack Daniels backpack? 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.440 For exactly They'll see that and then they'll think, what 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.000 kind of parents would give their kid a backpack with 0:01:59.040 --> 0:01:59.600 a liquor? 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:01.280 Hello? 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.440 The good thing is kids don't know what it is, 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.160 don't do They're like, okay, those. 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:06.960 Are exactly the adults do. 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:09.440 I mean, I just thought it'd be a funny trick 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:10.920 on the first day school for him to go in 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:11.120 with it. 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.280 And I can't believe you said no, what is the trick? 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.640 Like, they wouldn't say anything to us. 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.720 They would just judge us secretly and talk about us 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:19.639 by their back. 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.960 Well, thanks for no longer having a sense of humor. 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.160 Right, You're welcome, don't you think too? They may say, Hey, 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.720 I don't know it could your kid could feel a 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.399 little ostracized when he gets there, different because they're gonna 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.160 make it feel different because he has a backpack that 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:35.560 they have to take from him that he can't wear 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.799 around everybody else.

I 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.359 just know that I thought this was funny. 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.440 I thought it'd be a great way to a to 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.320 meet other parents because they're gonna be like, man, who's 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:02.760 the cool kid with the cool backpack. 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.400 I don't think that is what happened, okay, And. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.679 It's just funny to see him like first day pictures 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.280 with him and Jack Daniels backpack. 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:12.840 So you look back on it in twenty years and 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.040 be like, look what you wore to kindergarten, h Larry. 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.120 That could be funny if you have the pictures at home. 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:18.920 But I don't think there's any way you said your 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.560 kid to school with a Jack Daniels backpack. 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.440 I mean, why not take it a step further and 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.080 put a little Jack Daniels in his lunch. 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.480 That's a crossing the lo who agrees with Are you 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.120 team lunchbox or team wife? Amy? 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:32.840 I mean I'm team wife. 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.760 But also I'm gonna say that as a fellow parent, 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.240 I'm not going to judge if that was someone's backpack, 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.640 I wouldn't do it to my judge the kid. 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.360 But you'd probably be like, what kind of parents sins 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:43.800 our kid with a Jack Daniels backpack? 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.480 Yeah, I mean I'm team Lunchfox, but I can get 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:47.360 where Lunchbox thinks. 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.040 This is no your team wife. Yeah, yeah, you just 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:51.600 said your team lunchbox. I met wife. 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:52.000 Oh. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.360 I was like, oh, yes, yes, I met wife. I 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.600 am team wife. I see the humor in it at home, 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.480 But if you send it on him to school, there's 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.840 a chance he could feel like he doesn't fit in 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.440 because they're gonna have to treat him a bit different 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.240 because that they have to take his backpack. The other kids' 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.080 backacks aren't being taken. Yeah, and he gets in trouble, 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:10.680 wait why's my backpack taken? 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:12.720 And then you explained to him like, hey man, I 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.680 was just doing something funny on the first day. Here's 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.520 your Spider Man backpack that you want to yay. 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:18.880 I don't really he'll get the humor at that at 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.400 five years old. He will at fifteen, But is it 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.920 worth the delayed gratification of that joke. Yes, it's a 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:26.960 lot like the Long Game. Do I say there's some 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.000 jokes that are you know, play out over time. That's hilarious. 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.040 I'm team wife Morgan. I do think his wife has 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.760 a sense of humor. But I think I'm team lunchbox. 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.760 I'm Jack Daniels back Wait are you miss making like 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:39.120 I did? 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.720 No, no, no, no, no no. 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.599 I think this is a funny joke. 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:45.560 It's harmless. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.880 I think other parents are gonna see it and laugh. 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.760 I don't know that any kids are gonna think anything 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.160 of it right now because they're so young. 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:53.920 I would just sear they have to take the backpack, 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:55.719 and he feels lesser than well. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.680 I think also, if I had to guess, this is 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.800 lunchbox his household, and he's probably used to that's happening 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.039 if I had to get but this. 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.480 Is a first day of school, like announcing because it's 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.760 a new school.

Number two, 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:24.240 Blake Shelton was on the. 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:24.800 Show this week. 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.480 He talked about his new Las Vegas residency, which is 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.400 super exciting. And he also talked about working with post 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.280 Malone and their collaboration that's taking over. Everybody's loving the 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.520 post Malone collapse. But we also heard a funny story 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.440 because him and Gwynn just celebrated their three year wedding 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.440 anniversary and they're. 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:42.800 Just like us. 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.200 They're normal people who celebrated an anniversary, but not really 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:47.320 because they didn't have time. 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.520 So here's the full interview with Blake Shelton number six. 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:52.680 Like, Hey, Bobby, what's happening him? 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:53.440 Not too much? 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:54.279 What are you doing, buddy? 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:56.000 Talking to you?

You always like two hours earlier. 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:05.520 I know, I know. 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:06.719 I missed you, buddy. 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:07.600 Yeah, I miss you too. 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:07.760 Hey. 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.800 I want to talk about this residency here. You're doing it. 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.479 You just accepted the millions of dollars to do a residency, 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:14.880 and I'm so proud for you. Look at this guy. 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:16.440 He needed it. Now he's doing it. Let's go. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.400 Thank no, thank you. I'm sure you used it. I'll 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:20.640 tell you. 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.000 So what's this residency going to be about? What are 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.880 you going to do there all the hits. I don't. 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.000 That's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:28.520 I don't know. 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:29.680 I'm here to consult you. 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:36.080 Yeah, I've been to two shows in Las Vegas residency shows. Obviously, 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:41.080 I went to probably fifteen or sixteen of Gwen's shows, 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.599 and years ago I went to see the very first 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:49.159 Shania Twain residency that's probably been fifteen or sixteen years 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.880 ago at least. And so I know enough about him 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.560 to know that, you know, you got to change it up. 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.400 I mean, I know it's not I guess you don't 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.440 have to, but what I've seen and what I've heard 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.960 about him, it is you got to change it up 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.080 from what you would normally do on tour. I mean, 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.640 and so still help me. I mean, Mark, you're just 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:10.760 sitting there and I'm just sitting there. 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:12.800 I'm just I'm gonna tell you why it's gonna be 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.200 amazing because first of all, and you're gonna have to 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.720 it's gonna be uncomfortable because I'm gonna compliment you a lot. 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.640 So just sit back and accept. I know, just sit 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:24.160 back and accept the compliments. This is why your Vegas 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.560 Residency show is going to be awesome because the venues 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.680 are much tighter. They're they're a little smaller, but they're 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.800 much tighter, meaning Blake's gonna be super close to the audience. 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.600 And the thing about Blake is he's become such a 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.040 larger than life personality. I think at times people may 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.640 forget that Blake can really sing, and I think the 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.200 two things that are gonna really pay off are one 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.920 he's hilarious and two he can just sit there with 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.200 a guitar and play every freaking hit that he has 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:54.680 and sound wonderful while telling jokes, making other people who 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.560 watch him extremely jealous in the entertainment world because because 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:01.000 he's got it all, so this is it's his uncomfortable 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.400 That's what I'm saying. But it's why it's going to 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.200 be awesome because you're gonna get to do and again, 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:07.960 it's not going to be like an acoustic show, but 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.280 there will definitely, I would assume, be moments of you 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.240 just sitting there talking to the crowd because it is 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.480 such an intimate place. I think this would be the 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.440 best place to actually see you do a show. 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:18.480 Wait a minut I'm writting this down. 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:19.560 Yeah, put it all down there. 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.640 I got it well, thank you, buddy, And that is 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.560 a good idea because I know that's what Garth. I 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.800 didn't get to see Garth's show, but I heard that 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.040 he just walked in and sit down with just him 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.160 and he's a guitar and I don't want to necessarily 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.520 do that, so I could be ripping off Garth. 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.320 And I've been doing that my whole life anyway. 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.800 But I do like the idea of the intimate thing, 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.000 and maybe there's a time in the show where we 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.240 can just do something acoustic. But I like that. Thank you, Bobby. 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.760 You're already doing this for everybody listening. Blake is not 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.599 playing me for a fool. He was already going to 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.640 do this because he knows what he's awesome at, and 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.880 that's playing music and being funny, and he's got all 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.720 these sections. I'm sure it's going to be awesome everybody listening. 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.240 Blake Shelton live in Las Vegas, his first Vegas residency. 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.280 It'll be at Caesar's Palace, the Coliseum at Caesar's. And 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.120 so today's the big announcement, and the public on sal 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.800 is the sixteenth, so like a week in a day, 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.640 So today's Thursday. So next Friday is the on sell 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:19.040 at Blake Shelton dot com. That's pretty cool, man. I'm 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.319 sure they've offered you this many times. Why now. 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:27.840 I don't remember exactly when the conversation started about us 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.240 putting an Old Red in Las Vegas, but that's when 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:34.080 the conversations first started that I remember, and that goes back. 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.160 You can imagine five or six years ago, just the 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.240 early talks of an Old Red there, and I just 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.960 kept kicking the can down the road because I figured, 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:44.920 I don't want to do it until the Old Red 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.520 is up and running and all the kinks are worked out, 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.679 so I can go back and forth between the two 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.240 while I'm there. You know, it'd be a lot of 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.000 fun to do the you know show at Caesar's and 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.360 then go pop in the Old Red over there and 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.400 jump on stage there and do something with who ever's 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.439 playing over there, you know. So I just kept pushing 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.880 until this moment came, hoping that it would come. 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.040 And so here we are. That's super cool. It's gonna 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.640 be a great show. Blake Shelton's on with us, which, 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.600 by the way, you just celebrated three years in marriage. 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:16.559 How do you guys do anniversary gifts. 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.959 This year. I'm laughing because this year was kind of 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:26.120 it was pathetic our anniversary happened, but it happened exactly 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:31.160 when Gwenn still does the voice and I've officially been 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.560 retired now over a year, and so she was filming 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:40.800 the voice on the day of our anniversary. Just it's 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.640 just the way things worked out. And so those days 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.839 are like, you know, they're the longest days that we 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.920 experience as spoiled entertainers, you know, I mean literally, especially 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.280 for Gwen. She gets up at like five am and 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.280 works till ten or eleven at night. You know, filming 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.679 the blind auditions. It's kind of a run and gun thing. 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.120 You know, you've seen that side of that stuff. And 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.559 so she came in morning, right before she left, and 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.880 she had already gone through her glam and stuff and 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:10.800 she was literally walking out the door and she had 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.720 a box and she was like, this is really stupid, 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:17.400 but I looked it up and the three year anniversary 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.840 traditional gift is leather, and so I opened this box 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.719 and it was like, you know, leather scented things that 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:29.120 you hang in your truck, like over the the rear 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.319 view mirror and like a you know, a leather phone 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.319 case or something like that. And she was like, I 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.680 know it's dumb, but I just it was last minute 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.319 and I gotta go, you know. 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.560 So that was that was this year. 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.520 Our first year anniversary was a little more special. You know, 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:49.360 we had actual gifts and and and you know, had 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.880 a moment. But this year was like, hey, we made 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.400 it three years. I'll see you later. What that sounds like? 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.120 What she did for you? What did you do for her? 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.120 I don't remember. I think, I I think I oh, 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.920 I know what I did. I ordered, I had some 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.320 kind of you ever heard of gold Belly? You don't 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:07.319 know what gold belly is? 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:07.520 No? 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:08.320 Is it sushi? 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.480 Gold Belly is like this app where you can order 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:15.400 food from restaurants from all across the country, Like if 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.800 you love Biscuit Love, Biscuit Love is on there right 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.960 there in Nashville, and you can order biscuits from Biscuit 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.839 Love but have them shipped frozen to my house in Oklahoma. 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.480 So I had ordered some cakes and things that like, 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:33.559 she loves Italian desserts. I ordered some Italian desserts that 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.000 we ate the next day, which was fourth of July. 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:38.920 It wasn't the best, I admit it. 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.360 How did you and post Malone end up doing the 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:42.520 song together? For me a drink? 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.920 I was laughing. I was telling my publicist West, I said, Man, 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.439 thank god post Malone got me back on country radio. 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.439 I never thought I would say something like that. But 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.280 I don't really know. You know, I had met him 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:01.040 six or eight years ago. We did a a fifty 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:07.120 year anniversary to the Elvis Comeback Special when Elvis did 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.679 his television appearance after he came back out of the military, 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.640 and so CBS wanted to do this real you know, 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.199 like fifty year anniversary, and I hosted the show and 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:20.160 then we had a bunch of different artists came and 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:24.360 perform Elvis songs. And post Malone was on this thing, 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.280 and he was a brand new artist. I think he 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.760 probably had two hits or something at the time, and 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.679 he was just a kid. He's still a kid to me. 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.120 But that was the first time I met him, and 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.760 we talked to that day and I realized he's from 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.439 right down here in Fort Work, that's not far from 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.920 where I live. And we hit it off. But I 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.360 never saw him again after that, you know, until this 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.760 year at the Super Bowl Gwynn and I did a performance, 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.400 and we went up to watch the game in a 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.760 suite that they that they had, and then Posts sang 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:02.040 and Rebas sang the anthem America the Beautiful, and then 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.640 they ended up coming up in that suite also, and 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.440 we Gwynn and I and Posts ended up trading phone 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.640 numbers that day. And it was another one of those 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.439 things where it's like he said, you know, hey, I'm 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.400 working on some new music. We ought to all get 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.360 together and write. And and if I had a quarter 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.280 forever time, somebody said that, I mean, or I said 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:26.240 that to somebody and it never happened, you know, I'd 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.840 have one hundred bucks. But I be damned if two 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.440 months ago I didn't get a call saying, hey, man, 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:37.120 is that still your number? And one thing led to another, 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.280 and I went in and sang this song and it 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.440 was like, Wow, this sounds like one of them, a 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.720 songs I'd put on one of my records, you know, like, 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.560 I mean, Post is really really doing this like it? 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.800 And I got to tell you, guys, I love the 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.760 way I know. There's always a controversy in country music 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.600 about who who belongs and who doesn't belong in whose 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.200 country he's not country that. I don't think it's ever 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.880 gonna that conversation is ever going to go away. But 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.520 I got to tell you that the way Post has 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.400 has gone about this, I just have so much respect 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.480 for him because he's shown over the last few months 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.920 that country music really is something that this guy grew 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.560 up on and it really does mean everything to him. 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.440 And he's tipped his hat to all of his heroes. 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.760 I mean these shows that he's doing, these pop up 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:26.960 shows he's singing, I mean, he knows more country music 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.680 than eighty percent of the actual country artist. You know, 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.760 it's amazing. You know, the stuff he did at Coachella. 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:35.880 I said, I did a show with him the other day, 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.720 and they're in Nashville, and he did that thing at 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.800 the marathon over there, and I mean, he sits on 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.400 a stool and he's playing songs that he has no 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.440 business even knowing, you know, and he's just it's because 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.280 he grew It's not like he went and wood shed 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.440 and worked these things up. He grew up knowing them. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.280 And you can tell he's just performing the songs as 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.280 he's driven around in his truck, singing his whole life 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.880 you know, and so I just I respect that about him, 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:06.640 because the guy is really embraced. He's not just poking 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.920 his head in and making a record and getting out. 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.400 You can tell this is something that means a lot 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.280 to him and that he's probably obviously been planning to 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.520 do for a long time. And I don't think he's 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.800 going anywhere. I mean, he hasn't said that to me, 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.600 but this seems like a natural fit for him, and 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:25.520 I'm happy for him. 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.280 Blake Shelton's on with us live in Las Vegas. It's 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.840 his first Vegas residency and tickets a week and a 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:34.400 day will be on sale at blakeshelton dot com. It's 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.760 at Caesar's. It's gonna be awesome. Final question about Vegas. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:39.720 Do you gamble in Vegas at all? Have any good 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:40.440 gambling stories? 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:45.440 My only gambling story has come recently. Gwynn was in 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:51.680 Las Vegas doing a private show and her best friend 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.200 in the world came to the show and we took 0:16:56.240 --> 0:17:02.000 advantage of the COVID mask cause I said, hey, does 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.159 anybody have any those because it's pretty much over. You know, 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:08.760 this is about a year ago, so if you didn't 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.600 really see that the whole thing was gone. But it's like, 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:13.680 does anybody have any of those COVID masks left in 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.159 their purse? I won't go down there and gamble, and 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.080 so we put on COVID masks and I spent three 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:23.480 hours in the casino. People walking, nobody knew knew it 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.680 was me, and they would have been looking for me 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.920 because Gwynn was there doing a show and I had 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.320 I had a great time playing roulette and slots and 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.919 it was incredible. I didn't win anything, but I had 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:36.920 a good time gambling. 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:37.960 You're so tall. 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:39.840 You're so tall, though, I feel like you would still 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.560 stand out. Did you have to like make yourself small? 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.919 I found myself playing the games that must suck because 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.879 I would find places where there weren't a lot of people, 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.600 it won't a lot of traffic, you know, And so 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:56.960 that's kind of where I just would go set up 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.320 and play and just kind of keep my head down. 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:03.119
