  Speaker 1: To answer your question about when did I feel like
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I was established enough, I think about probably a year
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: or so after Badonkadonk came out, I realized I really
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: probably don't have to put my saddle on another horse.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I can just ride that one on off into the sunset.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I just kind of knew that that one was going
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to be around for a while.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Did you know it from the beginning after you wrote it,
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: or was it just people's reaction?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't write that, man.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, got it.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: But Jamie Johnson and Dallas Davidson and Randy Hauser wrote that.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Jamie Johnson's birthday's coming up.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: And Jamie was singing the demo. And when I heard it,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I was in Scott Henry's office, I'll never forget, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: he played that song for me. And as soon as
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I heard Jamie's old cornbread mouth at the beginning of that,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: hustler shooting night ball, I just started laughing, you know.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And it got worse from there, you know, with him singing.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: And it was so funny. I about pissed myself. And
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: just to hear him do that, you know. And I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: just and I told Scott, I said, oh, my God,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I got to cut that. I was like, you know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: probably I don't care. We won't have to ever get it.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: We probably won't ever get played on the radio. But
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I'm going to cut it because that's hilarious. You know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: it's cleverly written. It's funny as hell. And so we
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: cut it, you know, and didn't think any more about it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: That's crazy. And it's crazy how much that really that
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: made it in like EDM places and everything that made
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: it into like a there was a lot of like
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: a lot of remixes that I've heard over the years.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: There's been a lot of stuff. I was at Jack
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Pine's summer camp. Yeah, he played it last year. We
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: were at this summer camp together. Jimmy John has his
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: summer camp. We'd go up there, and he played that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: And I had no idea that he had anything to
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: do with writing that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, man.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: But it was awesome, dude.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's funny.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: God, he's a great artist, man. He's fun to be around,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: him and his wife.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: He's funny. He's a good dude.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: He is a good dude.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Good old Marine.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Bet to him on the Super Bowl, I think, or
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: a UFC fight, something. And we had to donate to
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: a charity. I don't remember what his charity was or something.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I think it might have been helping Blake Shelton recover
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: from that sandal thing he went through. But that's rumors.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know about all that. Oh, Jamie Johnson and
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: his wife Brittany run the Give It Away Foundation, named
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: after his hit George Strait song. The foundation supports veteran, family,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: and crisis charities and is funded by merch sales. and
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: a $ 1 donation from every concert ticket sold. Yeah, he
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: just– did you play at Gary Sinise's fundraiser? No. I
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: know he just had a fundraiser.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wished I could have been there, but I
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: was out.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Me too. I was on the road. I'd just gone
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: through some plant medicine, and I couldn't make it over there.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Has there been a song that– was Badonkadonk probably the
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: most– was that the biggest surprise for one that you
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: cut and you were like, wow?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was surprised that it succeeded the way
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that it did, you know. But then I was equally
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: shocked whenever I thought, okay, if that one worked, then
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: this one will work. And that's when I put out–
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that was the horrible– Brown Chicken, Brown Cow incident.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: When I put that out. And I thought it was
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: going to blow up like what Donk Donk did. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the radio was like, no, you've gone too far here.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: It just ended up like a porn meme, didn't it?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Brown Chicken, Brown Cow, you know.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Dude, I didn't even know you started that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I sang the song, you know, and then. You know?
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that, bro.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: And so the radio people were like, who are you
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: playing that shit? That's porn, you know, whatever.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: And it was a nasty song, but I thought it
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: was in the right spirit, you know? It was meant
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: with love. I mean, they were married, these two people
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I was singing about. They were married.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You know, doing it in the barn, that's not like
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: illegal or anything.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think it is.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It's just good, clean fun there.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's fine with me. I don't know them,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: you know. But now I will say this. If I'm
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: a neighborhood watch guy and I pull up and you're
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: doing something.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Well, that's why we need you to wear the best
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: so we can see you coming. I mean, if you
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: come up, you ain't got on your official, you know,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: neighborhood watch uniform. You know, you can't come walking up
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: on me and Betty Lou in the barn doing our thing, man.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I agree. I'm just saying if I pull up in
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: your yard... And you were doing something that goes against
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: our charter.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: We're doing something that goes with brown chicken brown cow.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: You know, then that's probably against your charter.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's just, I don't know. It's
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: so hard to keep a neighborhood.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Can't be doing that out in the yard.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Well, it's so hard to keep a neighborhood safe. That's
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: what I'm trying to say out loud.
