Whether you're cleaning 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.880 your house while listening, driving your kids somewhere, or maybe 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.040 you're just hanging out with me on your couch with 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.680 your dog. Either way, I love that you're here. Make 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:36.760 sure you check out Part one. Though. This weekend, I 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:38.919 had on Eddie with me and we talked about some 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:40.959 fun things. He did have a birthday this week, so 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.839 I made sure to read him his horoscope because you know, 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:45.839 nobody on the show really believes in that, but I 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.000 love to read them. And then we also talked about 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:49.760 the things that we would like to own from a 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.920 celebrity and the thing we would like to be named after. 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:54.800 So just a lot going on over there with Eddie. 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:56.960 Those are always some fun conversations for me, so be 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.840 sure to check out part one before you dive in. 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.160 Right now to the best bits of the week. Luke 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:04.920 Holmes was on the show this week and he talked 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.240 about his brand new album and he also answered uncomfortable 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.920 questions from our listeners. Luke comes is always a fun interview. 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.520 He's just super down to earth and he's also going 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.319 to be a dad of two here very soon, and 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.240 he's got a big world toward. Just a lot happening 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.920 for this guy. And not to mention, he does sing 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:25.800 my wind song. So I particularly love Luke Combs number seven, 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:30.800 So Bobby Bones Show interview in case you didn't know, well, 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.399 if you don't know about Luke Combs, welcome and I 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:37.240 think you're gonna like him. Luke Combs massive superstar and 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:41.200 went to college for business Appalachian State University in North Carolina. 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.319 All of a sudden, can sing real good, starts playing 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.120 at local bars, got a new album out. It's kind 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.040 of the second part of his first album. But it's 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.520 out and it's gonna do so well and it's gonna 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.280 crush and so he's here, let's do it. Let's talk 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:58.920 to our guy. The Friday morning conversation with Luke Combs, Hey, buddy, 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.480 how are you good? How are you go? Way to 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.040 listen or email us? I don't want to forget this. 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:03.520 I want to bring it up to you now. He 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:05.240 wanted to know if it was a red flag that 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.920 his girlfriend for his birthday she got him one of 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:14.519 the shirts Columbia shirt pants like you wear. She wants 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:15.960 them to grow a beard out, and she also has 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.400 a big fascination with you. And he's like, is this 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.440 a red flag that she wants me to look like 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.400 Luke Combs? Not so much about you, specifically about her 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.360 wanting him to look like somebody else. I feel like 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.640 it may be more of a fetish Well that's what 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.520 I said. I used the word fetish too, Yeah, because 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.520 I have that towards you as well, and so I related, right, Yeah, 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.720 I mean I guess it depends what advice would you 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.360 give him. I mean, just have poor genetics on the 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.200 beard thing. If you really want to grow like a 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:45.359 really patchy beard, is yours patchy? It looks a plus 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.359 It's no, it's I appreciate it, but this is it. 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.519 This isn't t this is it. It's just all that 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.560 grows it like it's maxed out. But I think it 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.320 looks good. I never felt there's old patchy beard. I've 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.240 never said that about you walking in. It's very nicky, 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.200 you know. Don't wish it was more high. I don't 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.560 have that. Billy May's like, I get it high this thing, 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:06.720 you know, but after shave without my glasses on because 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.480 I'm blind and I always forget to shave up near 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.000 my eyes, it goes that high. It actually, yeah, it 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.280 actually covers my eyebo. I have harry eyes. Wow. Yeah, 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.040 it's weird. Uh, you have a new out. You don't 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:17.239 even have to do promotions at this point, so I 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.480 appreciate you coming by. I mean I told him at 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.280 the Graham It's like, this is the most anticipated thing 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.920 and forever. You literally could do no promotion at all 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:25.359 and it would be massive. And then I was looking 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.840 at us as well. The album's coming out today. It's 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.120 actually out today. It's called Getting Old's second part of 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.480 the first record, but it's its own record. Yeah, for sure, 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.320 different things, no doubt. And then I was like, oh, 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.280 let me just promote some Lukecomb shows and sold out 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.760 is next to every single one of them, except in Zurich, Switzerland, 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.920 where it was like five seats left. Yeah, so you 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.680 five people in Zurich. This is the promotion. Now he 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.640 needs to make like ninety more dollars anarily after fees, 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.200 and so if you're in Zurich, otherwise everything is sold out. 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.080 One of the issues that I have had, and I 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.680 think as someone who is so in tune with his fans, 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.000 you'll understand you probably have done many things, is it 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.000 people buy up the tickets from my shows and try 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:05.440 to resell them for like four times as much, and 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.040 I get and I'm like, don't buy them. I told Mala, 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.240 I don't buy the red tickets. If do you have 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.000 that issue where people are buying them reselling them when 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.240 you're just like, I'm just trying to get people into shows. Yeah, definitely, 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.680 I mean everybody does you know, um, we've been doing 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.480 ticket Master verified for years now. Does that help a 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.080 whole lot? It does? Yeah, it does help a whole lot. 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.839 I mean, obviously it's not you know, it's it's impossible 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:29.000 to stop right that from happening, you know, like entirely, 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.760 but it helps a lot. Here's what I suggest. Set 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:32.840 up a ticket booth and you're in it like a 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.400 kissing booth before the show, they come buy them from you, 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.280 right up. Yeah, then you walk them in, Yeah, to 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.400 the metal detector. Yeah, everybody gets in. I mean, I 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.760 definitely think that it's something. It's something that needs to 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.240 be addressed somehow, in some way, shape or form. Like, 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.120 I'm not smart enough to know let me ask you this, 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.640 but it does need to happen because you're killing it. Obviously, 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.160 you've been killing it since the moment he came out 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.000 of the womb. Are you starting to save footage for 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.120 in like fifteen or twenty years so you can do 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.640 like a Garth whole package of your career because almost 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.960 now it's your success has been I mean, I haven't 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:09.000 seen anything like it, And I hope you've been saving 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.160 stuff because it's gonna take this at some point for 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.360 you to have it. Yeah, we have a lot of stuff, 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.120 you know. I think we're kind of trying to do 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:19.080 that right now. Yeah. It's just odd though, It's like 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.480 the thought of that to me is really strange. But 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.640 you could recreate some of it though. Shape's beard You're 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.840 like I'm nineteen, I'm going to Russian for a guy. Yeah, 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.120 we don't have anything that far back, I think, which 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.920 is kind of but at the time it's like you're 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.560 not thinking, man, I should be taking pictures of this, 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.840 And it wasn't as even though it was, it wasn't 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.840 as social media where you're recording everything, where if somebody 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.200 who's nineteen now, they're just doing it because it's the lifestyle, right, 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.480 it's they just do it. They're just doing that. Anyways. 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:48.680 You know, I saw you get the Grammys in LA 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.600 Is that more of a nerve racking thing for you 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.480 because you're dressed up formal? Or is it? Is it 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.560 just a really cool show? No, I mean it's I 0:05:55.600 --> 0:06:00.359 think it's different just because it's like it's the all thing. 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.320 It's just so different. I mean, it's so different than 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.039 you know, going on the CMAS or or you're going 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.200 on a CMS or something. It's just like at those shows, 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:10.800 you know, you kind of feel like you at least 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.479 halfway no everybody that's there, and then you just gotta 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.120 you know, you go to the Grammys and you're just 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:20.560 like one of a million people, you know, and it's 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:24.760 like it's just weird and everybody it's just I mean, 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.280 you know, you're dressed up formal, but it's like you 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:28.920 might as well be wearing a T shirt compared to 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:30.560 when everybody else is wearing you know what I mean. 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.800 Did you see anybody while you're performing? I don't know 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.880 how the lights situation was. Could you see anybody famous 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:38.880 while you're playing? Or were you so just dialed in? 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.560 I didn't look. I mean, I just like I just 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.560 didn't want to. I just try not to look. You know, 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.880 I'm also a horrible guitar player, so I was really 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.400 focused I'm not missing as well. Yeah, that was more 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.680 of my concern at that time. Luke Holmbs is here. 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:55.279 The new record is out today. It is called Getting Old, 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.440 which so talk about the project in general. When you 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.000 did the first half of this, did you know what 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.600 the Growing Up was gonna be first half? Yeah? I did, Yeah, 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.120 because I had I had a song, and I feel like, 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.840 really the way it worked out was just I mean, 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.840 we recorded over the last I don't know, three years, 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.880 which is just kind of I think of that time 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.600 frame of when we recorded Growing Up and when recorded 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.720 Getting Old, it's like they weren't separate, like all the 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.000 songs were kind of recorded in this two and a 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:27.800 half three year period. There were songs picked for growing Up, 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:32.160 which it feels entirely different to me than the next one. 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.440 I feel like that's the thing now everybody's putting out 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.200 like a big, huge thing and not there's anything wrong 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:39.960 with that. It's just not what I want to do 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.560 because I feel like it's I want each song to 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.680 kind of get a moment for people to have a 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.400 chance to hear it. I guess yeah, as a consumer, 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.080 if somebody puts out thirty songs, I never even hit 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.720 play on twenty of them. It's hard. Fans not there. 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.480 I'm four years old. Yeah, it's hard. I mean it 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.760 is hard. You know. Luke Combs is here. We're gonna 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.880 play Going, Going, Gone, the records out today, getting old 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:04.760 and go stream it. I'm sure you will. You probably 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:06.040 listening to that and not this show. So you're not 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:07.840 even hearing me say this right now. Tell me that 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.360 ain't some stuff. Tell me that it needed to DiCaprio movie. 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.760 What is that one called? Yeah? No me, that ain't 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.520 radio inception? Right there? They're not even hearing it, and 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.040 I'm talking to them. When you have to deal with 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:18.920 the lottery and you have the lottery ticket scratch off? 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.440 Did you ever get one and scratch? I didn't. I 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.280 got some. I got a feed like from fans actually, 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.400 and like if you would have one, would they have 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.120 given you the money? Or is that like me being 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.160 a call or ten one of our radio stations. I 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.400 feel like that's why I didn't like scratch them, you know, 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.839 like if it was like, what if this was one? 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:36.720 What did you do with them? Give them away? I 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:41.880 have them. I still have them. They're just unscratched lunch. 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.679 I'm imagining you get offered so many brand deals. Are 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.520 there any that just don't make sense? But you think, hey, 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.439 that's probably a great product, but it just ain't for 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.400 me specifically, so you don't do it. I don't know. 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.080 I had someone a couple of years ago try to 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.960 I don't remember who it was, but someone tried to, 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.080 like do they wanted me to do like a cereal? 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:06.800 And I was like, what is that? Oh? That's good. 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.400 I don't know. I just just sitting I mean, I 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.959 like cereal or whatever, but I don't know. I'm I 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.839 try to be like as picky as I can about 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:16.839 that because I have the ability to do that right. 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.840 So it's kind of like like protecting my brand in 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.199 a way by like not doing things I think is 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:26.760 more valuable than just doing everything that comes your way, 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.200 you know what I mean, Because eventually I always think 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.080 of something too. It's like, you know, when I'm if 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.920 I'm making a decision for my career, whether it's something 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.079 I'm gonna say on stage or a thing that I'm 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:39.920 gonna brand, thing I'm gonna do, and as I'm like, 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.840 what are my like grandkids gonna think about this? You know, 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.640 like if they see if they were to see this, 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.439 would they be like, yeah, that was cool. I mean 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:53.840 if Grandpa had a cereal. If you're a kid, but 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.200 you're you're right, because I'm sure with you and with me. 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.160 I used to beg and say yes to everything because 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.240 I just needed to say yes to things to get 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.960 to the next point. But now the freedom for you 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:04.640 and even for me, I don't have to say yes everything. 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.280 I just say yes now the things I want to write. 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.200 But that wasn't always a case. Yeah, no doubt, and 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:10.800 I put I put out a cereal. They said Luke 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:15.319 didn't want to do. Yeah, it was called Barry Buttholes, Oh, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:19.320 so you didn't do that, Bobby's I like it. Um, 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.480 what do you listen to at the house if you're 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:26.240 just listening to music for your own enjoyment? Um, Honestly, 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.360 I spend a lot of time in my garage and 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.520 the only like music I have out there is like 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.600 a set player. So it's only old stuff that we 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.880 used to buy at the gas station, pretty much from 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.920 the rat cassette rat like I have one that's like 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.240 Marlborough country music or something like. It's just like a 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:46.640 weird like I just at like I just put tapes in. Honestly, Yeah, 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.240 I mean I listened to a ton of new stuff 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.319 in the car, but you know, it's like mostly I'm 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.079 in the when I'm listening to music, I'm in the shop, 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.000 you know. And also when I listen to music, if 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:56.840 I'm enjoying stuff, I like to hear music that I'm 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.800 comfortable I have to think a whole lot about. So 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:00.800 it's always the stuff from what I was younger, Right, 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.280 It's like nineties country or John Mayer a Counting Crows 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.559 or like that's I don't have to or if I'm 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.320 watching a TV show and I'm just like not just 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.360 turning to vegi out. I don't watch something that's got 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.959 me like it's right the office, or it's something I've 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:17.400 seen ten thousand times. Yeah, do you watch anything good? Man? 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.000 We watch a lot of a lot of a lot 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.240 of crime shows, man, a lot of a lot of 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.920 murder mystery type stuff. That's kind of our jam. Is 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.560 it your jam? Because your wife wants it to be 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.960 your jam? No? I love it. I wanted to be 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.040 I wanted to be a detective before I did this, 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:31.800 so I was already in May. Me and my dad 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.840 watched a lot of it growing up. My wife loves 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.760 it too. What kind of detective? Homicide? Detective? Is what 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.240 I wanted to do? Yeah? What would even expose you 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.520 to the idea you could do that? Was it TV? Then? Probably? 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.280 It was probably television? Yeah, imagine you're watching The Last 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.240 of Us on HBO at all? I haven't. I keep 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.560 hearing about it, though I've heard it's great. It's not 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:52.400 a video game? Yes, yeah, it's the the odd Will 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.000 I like video game? Do you still play? I talked 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:56.959 to do you play? In your Kiscane Brown and I 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:58.880 hang out a little bit and he's always like, man, 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.160 you should get to a computer to play on. Should 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.480 you should? Yeah? And he's such an advocate of playing 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.840 on you see it's awesome. He's like, you're so fast, 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.920 you got more? Is that what you play on with? No? 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.480 I play with a controller? Oh you do? Okay? See 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.000 why why why is it so much better? Well, I 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.600 mean it's like, okay, so if you've got a console 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:22.360 right like, it has a it has a preset like Graphee, 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.120 you know. But the computer, it's like you can change 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.520 the parts out right, like so you can get the newest, 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.840 nicest graphics card. But I still have dial up? So 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.719 would that hurt me if I play video? Yeah, that 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:37.360 would be deal breaker, no doubt. All right, uncomfortable questions 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.920 from our listeners to take Coombs number one. How much 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.720 does Luke Coombs having his wallet right now? Oh? Okay, 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.360 I have my wallet right now. Most people though that 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.400 are rich. They'll carry a lot of cash. It's fat. 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:52.480 A lot of bills are card wallet. This is elephant. 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.320 I'm killed on his way here, sliced off about how 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.760 much money do I have? Is it one dollar? One dollar? 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:03.320 I have one dollar times one dollar and I'm not 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.960 sure what this is it looks like a hotel key. 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:07.840 It's a bed bath and beyond coupon from the mail 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:09.959 before they went out, He's like, I'm saving this one. 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.600 We gotta get that tour going. Yeah, one dollar. So 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:18.319 that's why we get people in Zurich. Oh yeah, every 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.120 show I sold out across the world. Yep um okay, 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.120 that's number one. Number two. Will Luke Combs open a 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:28.080 bar in Nashville? I don't know. I'd like to plans yet, 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.760 No plans, you know. Does Luke Combs hate or like 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:35.920 the comparisons to Garth Brooks. I think indifferent, you know. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.600 I think people can't help but compare people. I think 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.240 it's human nature, you know. I mean it's cool, right, 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.960 I mean I would rather be compared to Garth Brooks 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.720 than someone who had one it's ang or somebody never 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:49.800 got a record deal. So I mean, if I had 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:51.680 to choose a comparison, I would say I would I 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:53.839 like that one. Nobody ever compares me to Garth Brooks. 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.120 That's pretty cool to me. Finally, and I don't understand 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.559 this question, so maybe there's some background to it that 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.240 you can they're just an idiot. Well, Luke Hombs, ever 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.199 reveal his songwriting pseudonym. Did you ever write under a 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:10.280 different name? Um, I think I have. I have a 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.200 cut on a Wheeler Walker Junior, Okay, which everybody wrote 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.680 rescuing him for those under a pseudonym. Yeah, I'm not 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.320 being ask you to say what you get a joke? 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.000 I mean it's you could you know, you could probably 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.560 figure it out pretty easy. I would imagine, you know, 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.160 because a lot there are a lot of people who 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.760 wrote under their real names. Are there and your grandkids 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.040 though you didn't want them to see that you wrote 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.840 a song called real Sloppy Boobies right for sure? Yes, 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.520 and that's not that song. But I know Ben, well, 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.360 we learn a wheeler really well? So, um, did you 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:41.720 write with with Ben? Yes? Isn't he like the nicest? Yeah? Really, 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.960 most like quiet Reserve. He's like, yeah, absolutely, it's totally 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.040 different than though, and then he goes into character and 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:50.920 it's like I don't even know you, bro. Yeah yeah, okay, 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:54.320 Luke the new records out, I will say this about you, 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:55.760 and I would like for you to lend to this 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.640 compliment if you don't mind. But I believe it's eighteen 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:02.080 tracks you wrote A co wrote on fifteen of them. 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:06.400 You are such in challenge a prominent songwriter aside from 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.560 being the biggest artist. But that means there are a 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:10.880 couple of songs that you put on the record that 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.040 you didn't write, which shows your respect for songwriters in general. Sure, 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:15.560 how did you decide to put on it? Because I 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.800 know you did the Tracy Chamman song fast Bar at 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.920 least two? Right, how did you decide to put on 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.760 a song that you didn't write? Um? I just felt like, 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.240 you know, I wasn't. It's not that I was ever 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.840 against it, I think, and maybe I was. Maybe that 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:30.760 you can pull an old interview clip where I was like, 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:32.360 I'll never pute a song that I did. Play the 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.920 clip where he says he hates other song, and maybe 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.400 that maybe that clip does exist somewhere of meybeing like, well, 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.880 I'll never put out a song that, um, that I 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.200 didn't write. Maybe that is out there, But UM, all 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.040 I can say is that, you know, I have a 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.440 lot of really talented friends, and two guys that I 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.480 write with really frequently are writers on on both of 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:55.360 these two songs. And so one of them was written 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:59.440 by Eric Church Johnson Singleton and Travis Meadows Um. Obviously 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.880 everybody knows I'm a big Church fan. Jonathan produced this 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.960 record with me and the last record with me, and 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.920 I'm a huge, huge Travis Meadows fan. So when I 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:14.080 heard that song, actually just like somebody got a hold 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.840 in my email I got Jonathan didn't even send it 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:18.320 to me, and your Eric didn't send it to me, 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.280 like it was some third party that was like, hey, 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.680 you should check this thing out. And I listened to 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.400 it and just immediately was like, man, this is really great, 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.840 so we should do it. And Jonathan was producing the record, 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:32.280 so I asked him. I was like, man, we should 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.560 do this, and he was like, yeah, dude, I loved 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.920 I'd love for you to you know what I mean. 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:38.680 Obviously he was stoked about it. I think it's such 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.360 a compliment to your ego in the way of you 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:42.600 wouldn't be able to do what you do if you 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.680 didn't have a healthy one. Because even himself, I'm like, 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.680 I'm gonna please buy tickets. I'm I think you should 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:47.760 buy tickets to watch me do this, or I think 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.360 you spend your time you want to listen to my show. 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.080 I have to have an ego to be successful, sure, 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.480 because this is a nutty business. It is, no doubt, 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:57.040 but there's some awareness and an ego check with you going, 0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:59.360 there's a couple songs that are really good that deserve 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:00.840 to be on this. I don't have to write every 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:02.960 song on the record. Yeah, without a doubt. You know, 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.639 I think, is that getting old? I think so. I 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.639 think I think there's definitely some maturity to that, you know, 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.560 um to be able to understand that. You know, there's 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.480 people that will always write better songs than you. You know, 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:21.000 that's inevitable. You know, Um, there are days when you 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:23.359 may write better songs than them. But they might write 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.480 four hundred songs a year and you might I might 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:29.000 write twenty or thirty. You know. So obviously there's gonna 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.160 be songs out there that you know, are inevitably better 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.640 than something that I could have wrote. Last question, by 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.160 the way, a new album out today, Getting Old. It's 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.600 a second it's just a new album, because it's confusing 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.760 when I say it's a new album Getting Old, It's 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:45.040 like it's like the sequel. Yeah. So final question, if 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.920 I said, okay, look, Luke, they came to me yesterday 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:49.639 and said I'm gonna die in an hour. If you 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.760 don't write me, can you write a hit in an hour? 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.440 Straight up? Guaranteed hit in one hour? Or gun? In 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:56.680 my head, they're gonna kill me. I could write, I 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.080 could write a something that I feel like was a hit. 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:00.880 I felt like it was a hit in an hour. 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:03.600 Whether that means it's a hit or not is yet 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.560
