person and I'm it was amazing how welcoming and kind and thoughtful and
puts on an amazing show talks to the people like makes people cry when he's
talking to him in between songs because he's so heartfelt yeah he's been
through

don't know a nicer word I don't know a better person yeah he's been through a
lot he's he's in crime on the other end and he's a person he's fucking

goes you don't even see the tattoos right you see you see this this pure soul
yeah it's like tat what tattoos yeah I fucking don't see shit so like you get
distracted by that at first but when you talk to him and realize you know what
a
loving person he is yours like I don't see anything I see just this big-hearted
man that's the same thing with post Malone yeah yeah you got to meet him he's
amazing I love that dude to death he's so fucking talented too we saw him
perform in Houston my wife and I flew to Houston to watch one of his shows
really
I was and then we hanging out with him afterwards he wants to play magic the
gathering I don't know those artists I just I don't know there's different
people but they're so I don't know it's it's pretty inspiring yeah he's very
inspiring when he gave me that platinum record and we posted out that you saw
I did incredible incredible great gift well here and here's another thing too

endure
book and he's like I used to think that I wanted records on the wall he goes
but
now I want a book signed by you that's what that's what I want and he had like
gloves from
uh I think a fight um I can't remember whose gloves like UFC gloves but it's
like it's that's what means
something to him now not the personal accolades right but I just god I can't I
can't talk enough
positive about that guy such he's such a warm soul the first time I met him I
met him at the
mothership he came there to see uh Ron White and I was uh that was when the
club had first opened
and I was kind of there just hanging out making sure everything was running
right because we had
just gotten open and then uh they said hey jelly rolls here to see Ron White

where the green room is yeah at the club he was coming up the stairs and I was
walking out and I
saw him he just goes what's up just big giant hug I'm like oh my god this guy's
everything I hoped
he would be he's amazing uh there's beautiful people in the world man you know
you meet him he's one of
they change the way you feel about the way you interact with people and I he
makes me I I that's
what I said when I got home it makes me want to be a better person yes because
I saw how he treated
everyone like there'd be people on the sidewalk and there'd be like you know
these little old women
and they're not old probably my age fuck what am I talking about but like so
like caught off guard
like oh my god jelly rolls here and he's like what's up mama how you doing how

person just some some
person walking by yeah because that's a guy where life gave him a fucking
terrible hand and he got
through it and he came out on the other end and now he's amazing you know now
it's like this amazing
journey that he can like really truly appreciate every aspect of it and he's so
good at expressing
that he's so good at spreading that love spreading that positivity and it
really does make you want to
be a better person it makes me want to be a better person both him and post
they make me want to be
nicer to everybody I yeah I've never tried real hard to be nice to everybody
you do a great job you do
you do amazing job but it's like you don't do as good as him no it's like there's
levels there's levels
to everything it's just like yeah his I think his eyes are just so kind too
yeah because it's like
what I see and we said this the last time but like you see the pain he's you
see pain in his eyes still
a little bit yeah or I do yeah and or I don't know you see it in his music you
hear it hear it you hear
it for sure you can't be that soulful unless you've experienced some dark dark
dark times I mean there's
some you know there's some magic to the way he sings that I just don't you don't
get that from a trust fund
baby no you get that from a hard life man and coming out on the other side as
this like beautiful creation
of love and and creativity and that's that dude that's the real thing man you
know that's not an act
that's him 24 7 and it's amazing and it's very inspirational and it's it's very
good for everybody
it's good for everybody it's good for everybody he encounters he was like you
know he was so busy
after the show and they had to do a promo stuff at the after the opry so we
took off and then he told
me he's like he goes oh he goes I didn't you know I didn't get to say goodbye
to tanner I took tanner to
the show and his girlfriend and he's like I said I think he said goodbye he's
like I didn't give him
a like a good hug to say goodbye it's like I mean thinking about even that I
know just about my son
it's just there he is yeah did you let's play this we get we can end with the
speech this speech is
fucking incredible I think it's cute up you got a second and I'm gonna say a
lot I'm sorry but
the quickest I could say it is thank you to the label Stoney Creek management
John Loba Joe Jamie
you saved my life country radio what's up baby
I got a thousand people to thank you but most importantly my lord and my wife I
love you so much
you changed my life
Megan Parker Haley I love all y'all we're friends and Zach Brown I think you
were one of the hottest
things on earth not just country music you deserve this as much as anybody else
I love you I'm glad
we're sitting there partying the rest of the night baby but most importantly
there is something poetic
about a 39 year old man winning new artist of the year I don't know where you're
at in your life
or what you're going through but I want to tell you to keep going baby I want
to tell you success is
on the other side of it I want to tell you it's going to be okay I want to tell
you that the windshield
is bigger than the rim you're feeling for a reason because what's in front of
you is so much more important
than what's behind you is party nasty fuck yeah fuck yeah he's a preacher
