And I'm wanna tell you 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.839 a story. First, there's a woman she had been suffering 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.800 from kidney failure and she went to a bar and 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.680 so she's just talking to the bar owner walking behind 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.080 the bar. So that's what's going on. And so the 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.200 bar owner started asking people for their blood types like 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.280 in the bar, and so somebody matches and she's like, yeah, 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:03.160 do gives her kidney? Wild like literally went into the bar, 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.120 was just talking to the person, like going through diet. 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.560 She was, let me just ask around, found a match 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.520 and then that person who did match was a kidney 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.040 match and she got a kidney. That is the luckiest, 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:15.719 coolest thing ever. 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:17.200 Drinking pays off. 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:18.960 I don't even know she was drinking because it was 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.839 like in a mall.

Also talk to 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:13.280 him about his mustache, him being a homebody, and is 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.240 he actually super athletic. We got the lowdown on all 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:16.760 the things. 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:22.959 Riley Green number five on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Priley, 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.000 how you doing, buddy, I'm good man, how are you all? Hey? 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:29.360 What's the least glamorous thing about touring that people probably 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.360 don't understand because it looks like just looking at your 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.079 pictures and again you said all these I keep seeing 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.160 how big your shows are, and I've talked about this, 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.840 but like it looks all fun and it's like beer 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.240 and like singing. But what's the hardest part about being 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:42.640 on the road. 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.400 It's just being gone. I mean, you know, we're It's 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:48.679 one of those things where when you're busy, which fortunately 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.199 we are, you know, play a lot of shows. I've 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.080 always played a lot of shows. But when you do that, 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:54.800 the shows aren't the only things. So then when you're 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:56.920 in town, you got days and days of trying to 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.040 ride or get in the studio or whatever kind of 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.960 press there is, and it's just being away from home. 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:03.840 I think I'm probably a little more of a homebody 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:04.640 than I knew I was. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.120 Do you think you being gone all the time has 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:08.599 made you more of a homebody? 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.240 Well, I'm sure, yeah, I'm sure it has well. And also, 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.400 I guess I've always kind of been like a you know, 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.280 I've always like, you know, been out and and kind 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:18.880 of outgoing and had a lot of friends and all that. 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:22.040 But something about being in the center of attention all 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.240 the time, I think would make anybody a little reclusive. 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.840 So like, I really value that time slipping off by 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:29.400 myself more than I used to. 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.120 I found that I became way more introverted once I 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.640 started to have some success at this job, because I 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.719 was just like, look at me, I need attention. Yeah, 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:38.240 And then once I got it, I was like, oh man, 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.240 I don't want to always be like this because I've 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:41.760 put all my energy into Yeah. 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:43.760 Well, it's a good problem to have. I mean, I 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:45.680 said all the time when I did construction work, nobody 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.000 wanted a picture with me. But it's crazy because I 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.839 guess ten years ago, you could have a few songs 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.040 on the radio and nobody really knew what you look like, 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.640 you know, I mean, maybe weren't as recognizable. Now. My 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.720 parents take pictures at Walmart, you know, when they go places, 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.800 and I mean my dog's famous, you know. So it's uh, 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.080 it's crazy how times have changed. And social media has 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:04.840 done that for sure. 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:06.520 You just had a birthday. What'd you do? 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:11.000 Uh? Well, we had an album release party at the 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.400 Duck Blind, a little bar in Nashville that opened up, 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.040 and my birthday, I got up at five and flew 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.079 to l a X And rode three and a half 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:19.960 hours of Indio, California and play the show. 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:22.760 That's it's a pretty big show though, huh that India, 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.000 I mean India, that's where they have stage coaches. Also, 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:25.880 it wasn't a stage coach. 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.040 No, I wasn't stage coach. It was a it was 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.720 a private No. It was outside of casino. 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.600 That's a casino. Still pay pretty good now, I. 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:35.040 Don't, I don't turn down. 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.280 I was like at casino. 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.240 And you know something else too. I've always said that, 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.760 like when when I was first started tour and started 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.960 playing some bigger venues and stuff, the the shows that 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.000 were outside of a big city, like you know, we 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.480 played like Carrollton, outside of Atlanta. It was it seemed 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.880 like everybody showed up. And it's because somebody doesn't come 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.120 visit their town all that often, you know, as people 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:57.760 drive from a lot of rural areas and all those 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.440 casinos especially like in the Midwestern looking the middle of 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.760 nowhere in Iowa or somewhere. So those shows are always crazy. 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:04.920 The crowds are really good. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:05.640 Lunchbox. 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.320 Speaking of your bar, what's it like the bar industry? 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:13.559 You're making money, somebody. 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:14.400 Still got lights on it. 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.200 Yeah, but my question is are you actually involved or 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.320 you just put your name on it and you're out 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:19.600 of there. 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.440 It's probably different for everybody. I didn't not that anybody 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.320 was beating my door down to have a bar on Broadway, 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.120 but I never spent any time on Broadway. I think 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:29.840 I've been twice in my life, you know. Like, but 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.040 over there Losers and Winters in Midtown, that's where I 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.400 met every other artist or songwriter or anything like that. 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.520 So me and Steve Ford, who owns Winners and Losers, 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.679 he was remodeling Winners and we just had kind of 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.280 a real casual conversation about it, and so I got 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.440 to kind of go in and design the inside of 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.440 it and lay it out how he wanted to. And 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.120 it's been fun. Like I certainly didn't need another hobby, 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.640 but I've enjoyed that part of it. I'm not like 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.840 in the kitchen or fixing drinks or anything that if. 0:12:57.760 --> 0:12:59.440 I come to Nashville, can I come to you know, 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:00.920 duck Blind? Did see Ryle the Green? 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.240 Actually the other day I say an article which I 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.280 guess I should have known. Somebody have their phones out. 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.280 I was behind the bar because I found an apron. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.800 So I was behind the bar with an apron on 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.320 and post Malone was there, and he came in and 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.440 we made a couple of drinks. And I think that's 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.120 the draw of those type of bars. I mean, you 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.120 know that people want to run into somebody that they're 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.600 a fan of or whatever. So I spent a lot 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.280 of time over there because I like the place. But 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.480 at the same time, it's cool that fans come in 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:25.920 there kind of hoping to see you know. 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.319 Did you play there? I think, did you do the 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:28.920 date opening? 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:29.280 You like? 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.600 Yeah, we had a grand opening and we did well. 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.680 The grand opening was also the twentieth anniversary of Losers, 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.920 so we did a big concert in the back parking lot. 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.199 Jamie Johnson, Drake White, Randy Howse or a bunch of 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:43.640 folks got out there and played. It was a cool deal. 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.640 This record you put out, don't mind if I do. 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:48.839 It's a lot it's is this the most tracks you've 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:49.640 ever had on a record? 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:50.800 I'm sure, yeah, I. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.760 Mean it just because I was looking about at some 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.360 of your other albums or EPs or whatever, I felt like, 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.040 eighteen why so many? Like well was it you had 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.000 that many great songs? Or you're like, maybe, well there's 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.160 that many possibly more songs catch on with folks. 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.800 It all, it all starts with songs, or at least 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.520 I try for it to. What happened with this one 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.880 is I was cutting an album and we had a 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.199 lot of really big success with an EP. We put 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:18.480 it out the beginning of the year. It was called 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.760 Way out Here and that had Worst Way on it, 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:22.440 which is a giant song for me in a song 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.080 called Jesus Saves just doing really well. So I was 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.360 decided to put those on the album because so many 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.120 people are finding out about us like today. You know, 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:32.680 it's and that's been a crazy thing for me to 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.920 see my success. It's been really gradual over the last 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.160 few years. But we did that show at Hyde Park 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:38.920 with Morgan. It was the biggest country show in the 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:41.120 UK and we're seeing those streams jump and all that. 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.480 Going to Australia this week for the first time for 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.520 ten days and all those shows are selling out. So 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.440 I just see a lot of people find to me 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.120 and that's going to be the first project they see 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:51.840 is don't mind if I do. And I just want 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:53.520 to put kind of my best foot forward. I guess 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:54.040 in that world. 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:54.920 Have you been to Australia? 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:58.400 Have it on first trip? It's it is a long flight. Yeah, 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.600 that's awesome. That's the part I wasn't looking forward to. 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.960 What's the longest flight you've taken now, London? Yeah, okay, 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.320 that's that eight. Yeah, that's a nice little warm up. 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.680 Oh my god. That's when you wear like oppression socks. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:12.200 So yeah, you were there. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:13.040 What do you what do those? 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:14.040 Do you need to get them? 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.640 And then you drink on your feet? Yeah, yeah, we're 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:17.280 up yours. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.160 I don't know if that you like put them somewhere, like, 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:19.600 what do you. 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:21.600 Else? 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.240 You put them? Compression socks? 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:28.360 Yeah? So Google, If anything, it's like a bottle of 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.440 water an hour. On those kind of flights, you'll get 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.240 especially you have to sing, but it's awesome. You're probably 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.120 going to places you never thought you would go, and 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.720 generally like yeah, well, I mean touring. 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:40.800 I am excited about it a lot more since the 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:45.000 UK show because we did Hyde Park, you know, sixty 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.280 something thousand people have and it was and like they 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.520 knew every word to everything, and I never stepped fot 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.040 over there. I thought it was the craziest thing. So 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.440 now that I've seen that we you know, got a 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.640 really big fan base in uh Australia, I'm excited about 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.560 going over there and putting on a show. You know, 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.000
