0:09
Oh my lord, Hey, my name is Wayne d with the Big ninety
0:17
eight and iHeartRadio. How's everybody doing. Welcome today one of CMA Fest.
0:28
I have a question. I'd like to check the temperature real quick before we
0:31
get started. Y'all know who you're here to see, right, So before
0:36
I officially introduced that fine young gentleman who has another baby on the way,
0:40
I promise we'll talk about calm down, y'all didn't make it calm down.
0:45
I do want to know where y'all are from. So if you're from Nashville
0:49
or Middle Tennessee in general, let me hear you don't break that. It's
0:56
expensive. They don't make that no more. How many of you are visiting
1:00
us from out of state? On the count of three, I want you
1:07
to yell where you're from, one, two, three, one of my
1:11
favorite places to visit. I'm telling you every time, every time. So
1:15
we are minutes away from hanging with Russell Dickerson. But before we do that,
1:22
there is a QR code right here. How many of y'all already have
1:26
CMA Fest tickets for Nissan Stadium. I promise you these are probably most likely
1:33
better. There's a half and half chance of these being better, right,
1:37
So scan the QR code and register, because before the end of the day
1:40
we will be pulling a winner. We will notify y'all and we will send
1:44
them your way, all right, So make sure you get signed up,
1:49
get locked in. We're just a couple of seconds away here from getting Russ
1:52
out here. Now, we do have a schedule lined up with our friends
1:55
here Tequila Cowboy, not only today but all Mayfest long. We're gonna be
2:00
back here tomorrow with more amazing artists, and again on Saturday, again on
2:05
Sunday. We got over these four days. Brian Kelly from Florida, Georgia
2:08
line. We've got Morgan Evans coming to hang out. We've got Brett Young
2:15
coming to hang out with us, and so so many more. Kimberly Perry
2:22
is doing her own thing now from the band Perry. I'm telling you so
2:24
again, it's always free walking these doors. All age is welcome as we
2:29
hang out with iHeart Country House Party over the next couple of days. So
2:31
I want y'all to do me a favor. As soon as he comes around
2:35
the corner. Hey, let's make it awkward. Okay, everybody, just
2:38
don't say nothing, well, but just act like act like it's you don't
2:44
even know who it is. They just walk in and just make it awkward
2:46
and quiet because I know some of y'all are taking video. This will help
2:50
your TikTok. Okay, So we're not gonna make any noise, any noise
2:54
until he'll come up here and I'll introduce him and then we'll do it.
2:58
But let's make it weird. Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna make it look
3:05
like he's just like maybe he works the warehouse at Walmart or something, just
3:08
the guys coming to hang out. He does seem more pet smart than Walmart
3:14
guy. I'm with you on that. I'm with you on that. And
3:16
let me tell you his hair is fantastic. I'm very jealous. I see
3:21
a couple other guys in here that would be jealous of Russell's here too.
3:28
I love other girls are like not me. I'm good. I know right.
3:35
My man's been doing work. If you come hang out with us tomorrow,
3:38
it won't be me, It'll be Brook Taylor. Brook Taylor's gonna host
3:40
tomorrow. Jimmy a favor. Everybody say Hi, Brook Brook's gonna be here,
3:46
hang with you, guys, tomorrow, so make sure you come on
3:47
through because she'll have an opportunity to win cmafest tickets as well, and the
3:52
rumor is her tickets are better than mine are today. Yeah, boy,
4:00
you're not following the rules. You're not following rules. Oh sorry, I
4:02
didn't hear the rules. But here we are, ladies and gentlemen. Russell
4:06
Dickerson. Uh, let's go. Hey, the plan was, the plan
4:16
was, I said, everybody be quiet, like you don't even recognize him.
4:19
So it's awkward when here. Hey, so do we we didn't talk
4:24
about this before. Do we do the sit down thing or stand up thing?
4:27
Stand up, dude, we're gonna stand up? Uh? Do me
4:29
a favorite. Please make him feel welcome as our first guest here at CMA
4:32
Fest. I'm telling you so. So I do want to say this.
4:44
This is the busiest that this bar is before five pm. Ever, Ever,
4:50
Russell, I want to ask Russell Dickerson because we go back aways.
4:56
I'm talking like before you let the hair grow. What's the deal? It
5:00
just changing it up or what? Uh? Yeah, pretty much. My
5:04
wife likes it. So I was just I was just letting it go.
5:06
See what happened, And she was like, I kind of dig it.
5:10
I'm like, hey, do me whatever you want. Girl. You know
5:14
what I'm saying. Hey, before I ask any actual like music and life
5:17
related questions, pull your phone up real quick and as they record, can
5:21
you just give him a like that? Just on? Can you just one
5:26
time? All right? You're ready? Everybody got your SloMo so good,
5:33
so stupid. I love this guy, man, Russell Dickerson, you just
5:38
put out a new album not long ago, and as we caught up,
5:42
it feels so different than anything you've done before. It still sounds Russell Dickerson,
5:46
but it's like it's like Dad Russell Dickerson, Dad Russell Tiggerson. Wow,
5:53
Okay, all right, I got some I did not just call it
5:56
the new balance of country albums, but I'm just saying, we're getting a
6:00
new version to you, right, that's right, new version of me.
6:02
I just I don't know. I was just like if it, dude,
6:05
like without without better explanation, I was like, these are fifteen songs that
6:11
I love, and whether they're like way this way, way that way,
6:15
whatever it is, I just love them and I'm gonna put them on an
6:17
album because I don't freaking care let's go, y'all love in the new album?
6:21
Right? Oh yeah, what's what's the biggest challenge to keep this new?
6:28
Because the amount of shows you're playing, the amount of songs you're writing
6:30
recording it, can you love it? And we appreciate you, but at
6:34
this and I know you appreciate fans, but at the end of the day,
6:38
it feels like a job sometimes. Still, how do you keep it
6:40
from doing that? To sleep as much as I can? Whenever I stopped
6:45
drinking for a little bit, I'm back on the sauce. But I did
6:48
my wife. When we found out my wife was pregnant, I stopped drinking
6:51
for three months. I was like, all right, it's time to time
6:55
to get my life straight. And uh, I mean, honestly, that
7:00
really help practically speaking, I don't know. You just gotta you just gotta
7:02
be grateful for every day. I know that sounds cliche, but like grateful
7:06
that I get to be here with you guys, Grateful that I get to
7:10
play music for a living, you know, and just reminding myself of that
7:14
man, and more importantly, grateful that this is an indoor CMA event.
7:17
Right, yeah, Hey what about that weather? Though it ain't that bad.
7:21
It ain't too bad. If y'all have been here multiple years, this
7:26
is like the best year ever. Yeah. When it comes to CMA fest
7:30
or like, you're gonna play for us in a little bit here, how
7:33
do you prepare yourself or something like this? Is it just let go have
7:36
fun? Or do you like, Okay, I'm gonna play this. I'm
7:40
gonna play this. I know I'm gonna play this. Like, what's your
7:42
prep like? Bro? You know me? I don't prepare for a dang
7:46
thing in my life. I don't even know what day it is. I'm
7:49
just happy to be here. I don't know what songs I'm gonna play.
7:55
I only know my song, So don't say Freebird. I don't know that
7:59
song. Yeah, don't hit us with friends in low places, none of
8:03
that. All right, We're here for Russell Dickerson. When it comes to
8:05
tour life, what's the toughest part of that? Because it can't all be
8:09
glorious and shots backstage and high fives with the band all the time. Did
8:13
I mean the hardest thing with Toria, I think is freaking keeping up with
8:16
my deodorant. I'm like, I don't know if it's on the bus.
8:20
I don't know if it's at home. I don't know if it's I left
8:24
it in a hotel room somewhere. So I think I'm good today, but
8:30
I might have to go pick up some old Spice on the way. Hey,
8:33
somebody tag old Spice on social media. He's about to get an endorsement.
8:35
I think, yeah, yeah, yeah. As you run around the
8:39
country and you record different songs and you're writing different songs, who are some
8:43
people that have really become good friends that maybe were mentors at one point?
8:48
I'd say first of all would be Thomas Rhett. Yeah, uh he he
9:00
don't know. I mean he's he's younger than me, but obviously way more
9:03
successful than me. And I just feel like he always is just super open
9:09
with everything, you know, and whether it's a career change, whether it's
9:13
a song or anything. You know. We're always bouncing off songs with each
9:16
other and writing together, and I think him and him and Tyler Hubbard are
9:20
probably my two closest friends that have helped me. You know. I got
9:26
to tour with both of them, fgl and Thomas and just learning from them,
9:31
and yeah, I mean I could talk a lot about them, but
9:33
those are the two homies. When it comes to songs, Obviously, a
9:37
lot of songs you're a writing, you're a part of the writing process,
9:41
or maybe they get sent to you. Is there a song that's been sent
9:43
to you at this point in your career that's ended up on the radio for
9:46
someone else and you're like, I shouldn't have passed on that one. Let's
9:50
see now. Now, I will preface every song has a time and a
9:54
place, so it may be a big old hit, but like you're like,
9:58
that's not a Russell Dicker since, yeah, I did nothing really like
10:01
that. But I did sing back before I had anything going on at all.
10:05
I sang, I like, sang demos just to get like a hundred
10:07
bucks or something to just pay my rent. But I sang the demo for
10:11
that Joe Nichols song That's uh. I was like, yeah, yeah,
10:18
guy would not let alone as I sang that demo, And I was like,
10:22
that's pretty freaking cool to hear a number one song that I got to
10:24
sing the demo for. But yeah, does Joe Nichols know you sang the
10:28
demo? Oh no, I probably tell him every time I see him.
10:31
But I'm a huge fan, and he probably was like, I was this
10:35
guy. Hey, I can see it on my presence. I can see
10:39
the interaction. Now he's like, oh great, it's the demo guy.
10:41
Hey, No, good to see you. That's good. It's a freaking
10:45
tall guy again. Dang it. Have we heard well since the album came
10:52
out? Have you written and recorded anything more as you? Yeah? I
10:56
got a I got a whole summer EP coming out in like two weeks,
11:01
just in time for your beach chair jams. Uh so stoked. I've already
11:05
shot a bunch of music videos, shot a bunch of stuff for it,
11:09
and uh oh, I do have my phone. I might play a little
11:11
snippet of one whoop sees listen, the label's freaking out, but we're on
11:20
Russell Dickerson's time right out of that EP coming out? Is that or the
11:26
current project? Have we heard your favorite song? Oh? And now not
11:31
yours and Jack, but just your favorite Russell Dickerson song. Have we heard
11:33
it yet? Oh? Oh oh no, I think it's coming out on
11:41
the on the EPR on the EP. Yeah, I wrote a song with
11:43
Shaye Mooney, Dani Shay and h It's one of my favors and then actually,
11:52
so speaking of Tyler Hubbard and TR, Me and TR were headed at
11:56
dinner with the ladies, a little double date action, and we always just
12:00
play songs that we've heard or demo the songs we've written, whatever, And
12:03
he played me this song that Tyler Hubbard had written. He was like,
12:07
bro, you gotta hear this song. And after he played it, I
12:11
was like, oh my gosh, that's amazing. And I was like,
12:13
are you cutting it? And he was like, I don't know. It
12:16
was like, you're an idiot. I'm cutting it tomorrow, and so it's
12:20
coming out in like two weeks. Yeahs as stuff like that happens, is
12:26
there a song you can think of? That? And this is similar to
12:30
the to the Joe Nichols question, But you're like, oh, I should
12:33
have raised my hand. You were in a writer's round and maybe it got
12:35
passed around. You were at a right and no One's like, oh I
12:37
like it, but no, No, I like it but no, And
12:39
you're like, oh, that you could have taken but you didn't. Yeah.
12:45
I mean there's plenty of songs that I like wish I could have recorded,
12:48
and I mean, you can only do so many at a time,
12:52
but apparently not. Morgan Wallen put like eighty seven songs on a record,
12:56
so whatever it, dude, getting there. Yeah, there's songs that I
13:01
want to record really bad, and I was just I'll get to them eventually.
13:07
I want to make as many songs for you guys as possible. Hey,
13:11
I do want to say, because as much as you're out doing this
13:15
work, your wife is doing the hard work of getting ready for another child
13:20
in the Dickerson household. She's doing she's growing a baby, she's growing a
13:24
human. That's very crazy, dude, Like the ultrasounds and stuff. We're
13:28
like right in the middle of it. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. Are
13:33
you scared? Are you nervous? Yeah, you've done it once, I
13:37
know, but it's two now. It's like manned man coverage now. But
13:43
but I'll tell you be careful because you are one romantic evening away from being
13:48
outnumbered Wayne d with the jokes everybody, but we're talking before. Your wife
13:58
has a big family, so this problem will not be the last baby for
14:01
y'all. Yeah. Everybody asks is like, are you done too, and
14:03
through I was like, well, my wife has five older brothers and her
14:07
oldest brother has seven kids. Oh it's right. So I'm like, girl,
14:13
don't be getting no ideas. I mean, she's got she's the one
14:16
who's got to grow them. I mean, that's a lot of babies.
14:20
Seven kids, dude, dude. So I'm gonna get sentimental on you in
14:26
a bar again. Usually hasn't happened before. Five a song sentimental intle bar?
14:31
Is it? Really? It's got a nice float to it. Save
14:35
it in your phone? All right, yeah, okay, I remember?
14:39
Good? Uh, what is the when you look at being a dad so
14:43
far and the point that you're at, what's the part that's been the biggest
14:46
surprise? But also you're like, damn, this is the best thing I've
14:48
ever done. When he wakes up at like six thirty in the morning,
14:56
like early, maybe earlier, I don't know, and he's just like,
15:00
kind, I just want to sleep in. But then you go up in
15:01
there, he's like, Dad, it's the best thing in the world.
15:05
It can't be mad about that. There's poop everywhere? Does I don't care?
15:11
You know what I'm talking about. Parents know what I'm talking about up
15:15
the bag And we're not gonna talk about poop. That's gross. Listen,
15:18
if you've got kids, we've all been there. We've all been there.
15:22
So I'm gonna ask two more questions than I'm gonna be quiet, because as
15:26
much as y'all love hearing Russell Dickerson talk, you probably want to hear Russell
15:31
Dickerson sing. I'll be honest, I feel like that could have been louder,
15:39
but we'll work on it later. Cool guys, Cool guys. When
15:43
when it comes to CMA Fest, CMA Fest is built really for an artist
15:46
like you. You could go all day and all night if it comes down.
15:50
Yeah, give me easy, give me moments that this four day span
15:54
lets you still be a fan though. I mean, dude, we used
15:58
to well here's a fun story. Well it might be illegal to tell whatever.
16:03
I'm just gonna say, I don't care. One year, this is
16:06
how big a book fan I am. I mean I wanted to go to
16:08
the stadium every year, and like sometimes people be like, hey, we
16:11
got an extra ticket, but there was like a great lineup one night and
16:15
something happened with the beer vendors. They were like, why did all these
16:21
people just walk into the gas station with like these wristbands? On and like
16:25
we asked them, like what's up? But they're like, dude, we
16:26
all got cut for selling to people underage. Somebody did and I was like,
16:33
yo, let me get that wristband for twenty dollars. So me and
16:37
two of my friends gave them each twenty bucks. They gave us their wrist
16:41
bands. We walked straight into stadium like we own that thing and watch the
16:45
entire show for twenty dollars. Whoops, don't you didn't hear from me?
16:51
Though you didn't hear this from me. The last thing I want to ask
16:56
is if Russell Dickerson is building a dream tour, you could be the first
17:00
act. You could be the middle act, or you could be the headliner.
17:03
Who do you build around you dream? And I'll say this to be
17:07
fair. They could still be with us, or they could have passed.
17:11
Oh dang, dude. I would just have like an all day festival of
17:18
free kid and George Straight. George Straits got a headline and then Garth Brooks,
17:29
did anybody go to chanail last night? Amazing? She'd be on there,
17:36
Tim mcgrawby on there, dude, and then I'd have a guest appearance
17:41
from Michael Jackson just freaking coming out. You know how sick would that be?
17:48
That's a sneak peek of baby number three? Do you see that?
17:49
Move? All right? With all due respect to myself, who wants me
17:56
to shut up? Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for Russell Dickerson.
18:07
All right, I want to hear y'all sing, though. I want
18:10
to hear your beautiful voices or my baby cheese Alabama, my dig sea landed
18:23
light kissing me like molasses, slow and sweet. Uh, I'm just she's
18:30
been less. Oh yes, some sunshine three six right? And what she
18:36
forgets the punchline, It still gets me every time high because I love heavy,
18:41

18:48
just a little, just a little. Now I gotta get it, gotta

you? All right. So this next song is about how my wife and
21:22
I know I talk about my wife a lot in my music, but she
21:26
shouldn't be so hot. This song is about coming back from our honeymoon and
21:33
I found out that I had just got dropped from my songwriting deal, so
21:37
we had no money. We made twelve thousand dollars combined that year joint annual
21:42
income. It's like actual tax records. Don't look it up because that's weird.
21:48
But we get back from our honeymoon and what cancoon baby? Now,
22:00
I forgot what I was talking about, Dude, my honeymoon and we were
22:04
broke, And but that's why I wrote the song. There we go.
22:07
I wrote the song because no matter if we're in absolute paradise with endless chips
22:14
and guac and Margarita's coming out of our ears, or we're in a crafty
22:18
West Nashville duplex next to mith Kathy who smokes cigarettes with her cats, it
22:26
doesn't matter, because I got the one person that I need. This song
22:30
is called home Sweet, touching down from a six nine honey moon sun kids,
22:45
kids still drunk on low and from all inclusive margaritas and malomboo to prey
22:52
and we can pay rent this month? Anybody else ben that that door mass

30:18
fast. It is all right, So I gotta play this one. This
30:30
is uh, this is my new single. It's called God gave me a
30:33
girl. And uh, I mean I could talk about it, I don't.
30:40
I just play it, you know what I mean. God gave me
30:41
a girl. That's pretty self explainatory. No, there was a time we're
30:48
in college where we broke up. It was only for one month and it
30:52
was the worst month of my life. And uh, because I decided it
30:57
was just like I think it would be a great idea show up to her
31:00
door, surprise her and break up with her. It seems made sense up
31:03
here, right, terrible worst month of my life. So I called her
31:07
up a month later and it was Thanksgiving Day and I was like, she's
31:15
like hello. I was like, what's up, girl, She's like,
31:21
what do you want. I was like, I just want to say I'm
31:25
thankful for you, and she took me back. Baby. So cheesy,
31:34
but during that one month, during that worst one month of my life,
31:37
I really felt like it was like God was like, Hey, if you
31:41
want the best life ever, you better get your act together and get back
31:45
with this girl. And so that's why I called this song God gave Me
31:48

doing this. Just a little story before I play. I always like to
45:13
end with the first song that started it all for me, and I couldn't
45:16
get a record deal in this town. Nobody would sign me, so really
45:21
just got to absolute rock bottom. And of course my beautiful wife comes to
45:25
save the day. She's like, we're just gonna go shoot a music video,
45:29
and I was like, let's do it. So she's like crouched in
45:31
the back of my suv shooting out the back and we just start walking down
45:37
this back road in Nashville, and nothing happened except God showed up straight up.
45:44
Like if you've seen the video, there's all the storm cloud rolls in,
45:47
there's lightning flashing in the background. It's the most insane thing I've ever
45:52
seen. And that's like a billion dollars in special effects that you can never
45:55
get. And this was a six dollar music video, so balling on a
46:00
budget. Baby. But what else happened is you guys showed up. Y'all
46:07
showed up. Y'all started streaming this, y'all started walking down the aisle to
46:12
this song. You started first dancing to this song, started making out behind
46:17
Burger King to this song. I don't know what you were doing, but
46:22
you changed my life. And I just want to say thank you guys so
46:25
much from the bottom of my heart, so so much for everything that y'all
46:32
have given me and my family. We are eternally grateful. And I'm just
46:38
gonna play this last song. It's called Yours. Yeah, I know it's
46:45
a bar, but can we get those flashlights up? Those cell phone flashlights?
46:51
Oh that's a vibe. I was a bumster and kidder bottle. If
47:09
he got the chance to test the say, just forgot on the shift.
47:15
I went in the sas, going nowhere with no one for me. I
47:21

47:28

47:39
arms around You can make me better than ours before, Thank god your I
47:55

48:02
crowd, here looking down, lost in the sound of a lonely melody,
48:08
an empty foget said a rudely always laying in on a lost speed, and
48:15
just live for the spin over the wind wall in just to lose again.
48:22

48:28
