  I should be singing your entrance. Thank God, I'm bias it. He
• 1:08
  just wished my ear you don't know the words. That's messed up now,
• 1:11
  I'm kidding. Uh. First of all, came Brown's here with us,
• 1:14
  guys. How y'all feeling? Oh yoh? First of all, I gotta
• 1:19
  tell you you have been non stop busy. I gotta tell you, like
• 1:22
  you don't know that. My man's got an amazing album. He just had
• 1:25
  a number one song with his lovely wife. He just sold out bridge Stone
• 1:29
  Arena. Just she's excited about that. I'm gonna skip all that because not
• 1:34
  many people they get number ones, they do sold out shows. You also,
• 1:40
  in the same week two weeks hosted the CMT Awards. What was that
• 1:44
  like? Uh? It was fun? You know, I gotta do it,
• 1:47
  Kelsey. It was our third time doing it together. Last year she
• 1:49
  had to do it from home, so it was it was cool and it
• 1:53
  was cool. It was an austome too. Do you guys still get nervous
• 1:56
  before you go out and host like an award show? That's pretty us?
• 2:01
  Hang on, is that the answer? Or are you asking? Because we
• 2:06
  could do this number of no. See, so when I'm off the road,
• 2:08
  I tried not to drink as much as possible. Uh, do me
• 2:12
  a favor. We talked a little bit about the collaboration with your wife,
• 2:15
  um, and you said that it's something you've guys have toyed with before,
• 2:20
  but it just fit, Thank god, just fit. Why is that?
• 2:23
  And then I got a second part after you answer that, Um, sorry,
• 2:25
  say that one more time. Thank god fit you guys, you and
• 2:29
  your wife had talked about working together before, possibly, but just you didn't
• 2:31
  find the song. Yeah. Um, so we had like four songs that
• 2:37
  we wanted. Um, but I've always liked my whole career. Just kind
• 2:40
  of followed my gut and something was telling me that we hadn't found the one
• 2:45
  yet, and the album was about to be finished, and we I was
• 2:50
  like, maybe this is ain't the time. And then thank god came across
• 2:53
  from one of my riders, Josh hog Uh. He sent it to me
• 2:57
  and I listened to it and I fell in love with it, and I
• 2:59
  showed it to her and she fell in love with it. So we made
• 3:00
  it a do it. Second part of that question is is there a second
• 3:05
  one in the works just yet? No, But I just put a studio
• 3:08
  on at my house, so we'll be we'll be working a lot. Uh,
• 3:12
  you know, when we put the kids in a bed, go down
• 3:14
  and do some music and see what I haven't that's hey, that's a sign
• 3:17
  you've been married too long. Let's get the kids to bed and make music.
• 3:21
  No, no, no, let's make a song. Like. Yeah,
• 3:23
  I just saw something recently too. It was on social media or something,
• 3:28
  but she was talking about how she's like such a regular person and she's
• 3:30
  not used to doing like shows and you know, performing in front of huge
• 3:36
  audiences. But first time you guys performed together on stage, were there like
• 3:40
  encouraging words you had to give her because she was nervous? No, I
• 3:44
  mean, like we have this routine where every morning we'll wake up and turn
• 3:47
  music on and dance with the kids, like our making breakfast and stuff.
• 3:51
  So whenever we get on stage, I tell her just to look at me,
• 3:53
  and we're in our kitchen again, and so we're just she just literally
• 3:57
  stares at me the whole time, and then by the third verse, she
• 4:00
  she'll open up and she'll go and like talk to the crowd and things,
• 4:02
  what's surprising you about now that you have been on the road, We've we're
• 4:05
  seeing on social media she's a repeat offender. When it comes to jumping on
• 4:10
  stage with you right, uh, which, by the way, that's because
• 4:13
  it's his wife. Don't y'all go jumping on stage. But it's it seems
• 4:16
  like her confidence is more. So. What's surprising you about seeing her grow
• 4:19
  as I mean as an artist? I love it, um, I just
• 4:24
  love to see it. You know, her do well and it's really cool.
• 4:29
  It's funny because just today we were we were just away from our kids
• 4:32
  for two weeks. It was the hardest thing, and especially for her.
• 4:36
  I've had to do it a lot, but it was the hardest thing for
• 4:39
  her. I remember when we came back in h I was the first one
• 4:42
  in the house and then she was running upstairs and right when she grabbed kingsle,
• 4:46
  she immediately just started crying and was like holding her, which was it
• 4:49
  was crazy for me to see. But she asked today, she was like,
• 4:54
  do you do you think they would care if I didn't come on this
• 4:57
  run and sing? And I'm like, no, no, no, no,
• 4:59
  it's not how works. I gotta go to all these shows all the
• 5:01
  time. Now you're part of my show. It's a big song. I
• 5:03
  was like, think about it. They're gonna be up, said if you
• 5:06
  don't come out to you made a commitment. Yeah, but she was,
• 5:11
  she was telling me. Now She's like, baby, I don't see how
• 5:14
  you do it. You know, I'm always gone. It's like she's on
• 5:17
  the other foot. Now. Well, so you have your lovely wife on
• 5:20
  tour with you, but you also are bringing Dustin Lynch and low Cash with
• 5:25
  you too. Now when I saw it, I was like, this is
• 5:28
  a massive party. That sounds like a party. I don't want my wife
• 5:30
  at Okay, calm down, um, but why why were those three the
• 5:38
  perfect fit for your tour? Um? So I've always loved low Cash Um.
• 5:44
  Like their shows are just so energetic, they're fun. They remind me
• 5:47
  a lot of myself because like we'll rehearse and do everything. Like if you
• 5:51
  go to y'all go to a lot of shows, all right, when you
• 5:55
  when you when what's up buddy? When? So when you go to shows,
• 5:59
  there's like a lot of rehearsals that go into the shows, and people
• 6:02
  go book for book. They say the same thing every night. And for
• 6:06
  me, I don't go to rehearsals. I just know the songs. I'll
• 6:11
  have to learn some arrangements, but within my talking points what I do on
• 6:14
  stage, all of us different and so it mixes it up for fans.
• 6:17
  But low Cash is really good at that too, and bringing the energy.
• 6:20
  And then you bring Dustin Lynch on stage and he's got eleven number ones or
• 6:24
  twelve number ones. There's just so much energy, so much fun as party,
• 6:30
  and it's I don't know, I just feel this is my favorite show
• 6:31
  that I've had so far. That's a good time. Yeah. When it
• 6:34
  comes to cities you're gonna visit, it's got to be tough. Obviously.
• 6:38
  Some cities you're like, oh, it always is amazing. In Nashville,
• 6:41
  it's always amazing. And you know, going to Saint Louis, going to
• 6:45
  what makes you pick these cities that you're building things out? I just show
• 6:47
  up. I don't pick them. Yeah, people ask me where I'm playing
• 6:51
  tomorrows. I have no idea. I'll tell you when I get there.
• 6:56
  Do you have go to food spots in each city? Though, Like,
• 6:59
  like you're like, oh, at Saint Louis next week? I know,
• 7:00
  I don't leave, you know, I go to all these cities and I
• 7:03
  stay at the venue, either hanging out with my family or play an Xbox
• 7:10
  listen and let me tell you, this guy's got some serious game. He
• 7:13
  embarrasses me. But that's another story for another time. One of the questions
• 7:16
  we put on social media, We're like, hey, if you could ask
• 7:19
  Kane anything, what would it be? And we got the tattoo question,
• 7:23
  because I see you do have more than one. What was the most recent
• 7:28
  and what's the next one? I couldn't even tell you. I think my
• 7:34
  most recent was Cody, my second daughter. I got her on my thumb.
• 7:41
  This is my piece that I regret the most and the piece that I
• 7:46
  have to keep working on because it hurts so bad. I got like three
• 7:48
  hours left on it. But it's a cover up. And then every time
• 7:51
  I get a tattoo, I always ask why am I getting a tattoo?
• 7:56
  Do you do you have a method to the madness or do you just like
• 7:59
  for I don't have nearly as many, but when I'm like, I just
• 8:01
  go, I'm gonna get this. I'm gonna get this, and it really
• 8:05
  doesn't make sense together mine makes sense afterwards. I find a reason for him
• 8:09
  to make sense. So like I have a rose on my hand, which
• 8:13
  I feel like so many people have. My wife's middle name is Rose,
• 8:18
  and my second daughter's middle name is Rose, I mean first, and so
• 8:22
  I have Caitlin Rose and then Kingsley going down whichever side I don't even know,
• 8:28
  but then Kingsley Rose. So it makes sense. You're a pretty fashionable
• 8:33
  guy though, I mean, your sneaker game is always on point. And
• 8:35
  I just saw recently too that you did you just launch like a necklace line
• 8:39
  like your own jewelry law partnered with a Well, I'm an ambassador for David
• 8:43
  yourman. That's usually the only jewelry that I ever wear, and they didn't
• 8:48
  know that until I told him in an interview. So now we're working together.
• 8:52
  They send me jewelry for award shows stuff like that. That's awesome.
• 8:58
  And each one of you on your way out the door, make sure you're
• 9:01
  waved goodbye. You're not getting jelry. I just wanted to make sure don't
• 9:03
  leave without waving. So many faces like that, it's messed up. The
• 9:07
  rest of the year stays busy for you. But what are some things you're
• 9:11
  looking forward to? My acting debut is tomorrow, getting the play a part
• 9:18
  in Fire Country. I'm like Robin Hood. It's cool. I'm really we
• 9:24
  get to spend time at home because it's Easter, so I think this is
• 9:28
  the only thing I have. And then I get like four or five days
• 9:31
  at home and then we leave for two weeks. Again. I know how
• 9:35
  you do it well. Last question, and we like to ask this question
• 9:39
  a lot because we've got some pretty unique stories. Is there ever has there
• 9:43
  ever been a song that's maybe come across your table that you skipped over,
• 9:48
  but then maybe a couple months down the line, you heard on the radio
• 9:50
  and you're like, dang, why did I pass that up? As a
• 9:52
  no? Never, I feel like I'm like the best an R in Nashville.
• 9:56
  I will I will put that on my back, you know. But
• 10:00
  now, if I hear a song, I usually know if it's gonna be
• 10:03
  you know, the one or not. Is it like a connection right away
• 10:07
  you just hear the song, You're like, I gotta have it. Yeah.
• 10:11
  So if I hear a song the first time, which I really do,
• 10:13
  I mean, I feel like I do some outside cuts, but not
• 10:16
  a lot. But if I hear it, I usually immediately know some of
• 10:22
  them, you know. I would listen to ten or fifteen times and then
• 10:26
  if it still hasn't hit me. Then I just know that's not it.
• 10:31
  So do me a favor. If you have not scanned the QR code yet,
• 10:33
  make sure you do it right now because we're gonna pull the winner in
• 10:35
  like less than two minutes, So make sure you scan the QR code so
• 10:39
  we can pull the winner real quick. Here, I do want to ask
• 10:41
  you. You're also a guy who I mean if anyone follows you on social
• 10:46
  media, you have been championed for your workout ethic and Tim McGraw has even
• 10:50
  made a comment like I thought I was fit, then I see Kane Brown
• 10:54
  doing this thing. How important is it for you to keep that up all
• 10:56
  on the road and how hard is it? Well? For the longest since
• 11:01
  twenty nineteen, I didn't I never missed a day other than Sundays like Chick
• 11:07
  fil A and thank you. But um, I got sick when we were
• 11:13
  in Europe. I had like one hundred and three degree fever and I didn't
• 11:18
  work out for like twelve days. I was two oh five and I weighed
• 11:22
  myself the other day and I'm one eighty seven, So I lost that much
• 11:26
  just off not working out. But I lost it all in my stomach and
• 11:30
  I got to keep everything else. So it's like it's a win win.
• 11:33
  How many guys want to learn that secret? We'll sidebar after, we'll sidebar
• 11:35
  after this. Are we ready? Yes, we're gonna pull our winner.
• 11:39
  So if we call your name, you're gonna meet us at the back door.
• 11:43
  You're gonna get to meet Kane. You're gonna get a picture. You're
• 11:46
  gonna get an autograph, guitar and an autograph the vinyl. By the way,
• 11:50
  I did not know that I was gonna be on stage today, and
• 11:52
  um well, if I was ready, i'd tell you. I did not
• 11:56
  know I was about to wear my smiley face house shoes. Right before I
• 12:03

• 12:46
  would hurry. All right, we're waiting for her. She's pulling her another
• 12:54
  one. Yeah, So let me ask you one more question. Collaborations have
• 12:58
  become such a big deal with country music. You have had them before,
• 13:01
  much success with them? Is that something that you target on this next project?
• 13:07
  Um? No, so collapse. They just kind of come for me.
• 13:09
  And I feel like I'm like the DJ Khalid the country music. I
• 13:13
  have so many features and so now I try to stay away from him.
• 13:16
  But I mean, if it just if it's like I hit, I can't
• 13:20
  not do it. You know, if you're gonna collab with anybody, I
• 13:24
  mean, this will be a two part question. If you're gonna collab with
• 13:28
  anybody in country today, who would it be? Um? I mean,
• 13:33
  we're I've been trying to do one without Dean for a minute, so y'all
• 13:37
  gotta y'all gotta tweet at him. Um, and then uh, I have
• 13:43
  I've been trying to do one with Shanaya too. Whoa, we we haven't
• 13:48
  we haven't found the right song for you yet. You know what, He'll
• 13:50
  get Jason too, to get back to you quick on the collab question.
• 13:54
  Leave without paying your bill. Here, he'll call. He'll call you before
• 13:58
  you go to bed. Yeah, I don't know. Let's see, that's
• 14:01
  a horrible idea. Don't do that. All right? We ready, all
• 14:03
  right, we're gonna try this again. Jacob Giapolo, I don't know if
• 14:09
  I'm pronouncing the last name. Yall are killing me? Smalls? Wait where?
• 14:13
