I have some tour dates to tell you about the Return of the Rat Tour is

Alabama, Chicago, Illinois, Miami, Florida, Winnipeg, and Calgary in the Canada.
You can get all your tickets at TheoVaughn.com slash T-O-U-R and thank you guys

We've got new merch. We've got these Onward hoodies. These are my favorite type
of hoodie that we've ever used, the template, the material, the style of it.
I think they'll be your favorite as well. We're going to try to focus on making
sure that the template is perfect so that it just feels good and that you enjoy

Yeah, those are really great. I want you to check them out. They're at TheoVaughnStore.com

Today's guest made me feel welcome when I got here to Tennessee. He's arguably
the most popular musician on the planet.
He's the East Tennessee Elvis, baby. He's, you know, you know what he is. I
mean, he's so prolific. He's very competitive and I admire his attention to
detail.
Today's guest is one of a kind, Mr. Morgan Wallace.
Yeah, dude. Good to see you, bro. Good to see you too, man. Yeah, it's awesome,
man.
What's been going on? Yeah, my mom was visiting for my birthday. We went to the
Opry.
You did? Yeah. Cool, man. It was cool, dude. Trace Adkins.
Did she come up here a lot or no? No, she hadn't been here since I moved here.
It was your birthday? Yeah. Oh, happy birthday. Yeah, thanks, man.
When is your birthday? Two days ago, March 19th.
Okay, cool. So. Yeah, my parents are in town as well, but I'm trying to get
them to move here, so.
Oh, you are? Yeah, I'm working on that. That's been going on for the last few
weeks now, so we'll see.
Yeah. Yeah, dude, your dad's so funny, dude. Yeah, he's the man.
He's unreal. Dude, because we went on, what was, we went with, is it Morgan
Wallen, the foundation? Morgan Wallen Foundation?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Up there to Greenville area? Yeah. Yeah. During the flood
stuff? Yeah, during Hurricane Helene, yeah.
And your dad came, and it was awesome, man. They had the food truck. They had,
you know, they were doing food drives, and I met some people up there.
We went and visited the houses and stuff. That was awesome. Yeah, yeah. That
was a cool day, man.
It was good. I wish we did stuff like that more often, you know? I guess we
could, but.
Well, I think that's why, I mean, you have a foundation that can do it when you're
not able to do it.
For sure.
But yeah, I agree with you. I feel it's like.
It feels good to actually get out and do it yourself, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
It can be, it can be a little stressful, you know? You gotta, you gotta keep it
timed up, right, to where you're not sticking around in one place too long and
all that stuff, you know?
You gotta be a little tactful about it, but it's good.
Yeah, and Tony Vitello, is that his name?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, dude, he came out. He's the best.
Yeah, he's cool too, man.
Dude, he's cool.
He always helps with stuff involved in our foundation, and we stay in touch on
a regular basis.
Y'all do?
Yeah, he, I tried to invite him to a bracket the other day. I was like, you're
probably not allowed to do this, are you? He said, no.
Okay, all right, man.
Oh, that's a, I'm in that bracket, baby.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I tried to invite him into that bracket.
You and me are tied right now. I think we're in first.
Yeah, we are. I saw that.
Yeah, we are, dude.
I checked this morning.
Dude, yeah, one thing that was crazy about your dad, though, he was fasting
whenever we're doing that.
That's right.
He'd been on a 40-day fast.
Yeah, he's done that for like as long as I can remember. I remember him like
when I was growing up, he would just go and like stay out in the, in the wild,
you know, in a tent or something and just drink apple juice or something.
And I'm like, dude, how, how is this possible? You know?
That doesn't sound like, that sounds like hiding from your wife.
Yeah, yeah, he needed some space. Didn't have enough money to get, get a
trailer or something.
But that was, I just didn't, because it was crazy because I'd just been looking
into fasting because people say it like, if you fast, it'll help like eat away
the cancer cells that are in your body.
So when he was like, I've been on 40 days.
Well, they say that, that only takes like a couple of days to do that, what you're
talking about, right?
Yeah.
Like if you fast for a couple of days, it'll do that.
Yeah.
I think.
Yeah, yeah, no, that's what I hear.
Yeah.
You get past 48 hours.
Yeah.
I think what he was doing it for was, um, spiritual purposes.
Yeah.
That's what he used to do it for.
And that's probably what he's doing it for now.
Yeah.
A team of researchers from MSK has shown for the first time that fasting can
reprogram the metabolism of natural killer cells, helping them to survive in
the harsh environment in and around tumors while improving their cancer
fighting ability.
But it just blew my mind.
I was like, God, this dude's on 40 days.
Put this dude back in the Bible.
Yeah.
I mean, dude, I don't, I don't understand how that's, that's physically
possible.
You know, I, I pretty much have been for the last little while fast until, you
know, noon I'll do, I'll do my workout.
And like everything in the first part of the day without eating.
Yeah.
But I can't imagine going a whole day without doing it, to be honest.
He's got some bandwidth on him, man.
Yeah.
He's a pretty strong willed guy.
He's always so chipper, dude.
Yeah.
I just, I'd love to get and hang out with him.
That was probably, and he would tell stories from like being in the military
and stuff.
Some of that stuff is bonkers.
Oh yeah.
Some of that stuff ain't going to be repeated on here.
He makes me look calm.
Dude, that's the crazy part.
You start talking to him, you're like, oh, well, some of this checks out.
For sure it checks out.
We don't need a DNA test in this family.
But you said they're moving down here?
Yeah.
I'm trying to get them to.
We'll see how it goes, but I'm working on it.
I've been talking to him about it for a while.
But, you know, just somebody uprooting their entire life to come somewhere.
But me and my sister live down here.
It's a tricky, you know, it's always tricky getting stuff like that to happen,
but we're
working on it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a lot, man.
Is it, I know you have a son, Indio.
Indio, yeah.
His name's Indigo, but I call him Indy.
Indy, right.
What's that been like, dude?
Because that's been probably one of the biggest things in your life, I'm sure.
I mean, outside of your, I mean, like, yeah, that's crazy.
Yeah, I think.
I don't even know how to ask that question.
I think it just gets better and better as, you know, the older he gets.
I mean, it's always been cool, but, you know, when he's, he's four years old
now, he'll
be five this year, just the personality that keeps coming out and the
relationship that you
build, you know, and he's, he's got a little, he's got a little sass on him.
Like he's got a, he's got a little attitude, you know, which is, I like, I like
that spunk,
you know, like the, uh, yesterday my dad was telling him, uh, he was trying to
get him
to eat.
It's a, it's kind of a task to get him to eat, to sit still long enough to eat,
you
know, and my dad was like, Hey man, if you don't eat, I'm going to put you in,
put you
in the bedroom.
You got to go to sleep or whatever.
You know, I don't know exactly what my dad said to him, but he looked at my dad
and he
said, I don't want you to stay here anymore.
But I just, I mean, like, it's just hilarious, you know, behind your dad, you're
telling him
like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just anything to keep him, keep
him rocking.
But he's a, he's a sweetheart, but whenever you get him, yeah.
Oh yeah.
He, uh, he's almost too sweet.
He, he's too nice to everyone.
Like people he doesn't know, you know, like, Hey man, we don't like everybody,
man.
We don't know these people, man.
Stranger danger.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I'm trying to teach him a little bit of that, but he's got, he's wild.
Definitely.
He emailed me the other day asking me to send him some Zins.
I was like, dude, you got to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I couldn't believe he figured out, you know, how to get ahold of the iPad like
that.
I'm not, I'm not really big on letting him, you know, sit around with an iPad,
but I guess
he got my, my nieces or something.
We probably had him send.
She, or he probably had her send the email, you know, Hey Haven, type this out
for me.
Um, threes or sixes?
Does he have, yeah, yeah.
Does he have threes or sixes?
I just downgraded to the threes, man.
I'm, I'm, I'm weaning myself off.
Are you?
I don't know.
I might just be putting two in.
That's just a little bit of mouth math, homie.
But you'll see a dude with like 11 threes and I'm like, bitch, just get a damn
20 or something.
That's like, uh, Andrew.
Oh yeah.
Your cousin?
Yes.
Yes.
He'll have a multitude in there.
He's only on the citrus though.
He's hilarious, dude.
Well, I'll, I'll ask you about him in a little bit, man.
Um, what, does your son have like a favorite song of yours or anything?
Yeah.
It's a song that's not out yet.
Like this, this album, right.
That I've been working on this, the first time where he's, it seems like he's
really starting
to put two and two together, you know?
Yeah.
Um, I would come home after I'd been writing and I'd show him songs this time.
This is the first time that I, that he's ever cared, you know?
And I was, there's a song called eyes are closed on my, on my record.
And I, uh, I brought it home that night, you know, we wrote it that day and
took it home
that night and I was just playing, I wasn't really playing it for, for him.
I just had it kind of played in the background.
Cause it was my first time hearing the demo of what we had just done that day.
And he was in the background and he kind of, you know, moseyed on over there
and started
being like, Ooh, what's this, you know?
And then after it was done, he said, I like that song, daddy.
Really?
And it was like the first time he had ever done that, you know?
So it was a special moment for me, something I'll never forget.
And he said, play that again, you know?
And I was like, yeah, this song's a hit for me no matter what, you know?
So, um, that was the first time I had really seen him like all those, you know,
dots start
connecting.
Yeah.
I bet that's special.
For a while he, uh, he thought that soul by John Michael Montgomery, he thought
that
was me singing.
He thought, he was like, play daddy's fast song.
He called it the fast song.
He thought, he thought that was me singing.
I said, damn man.
I mean, that dude sounds pretty good, but come on.
And then he's just bidding on pigs at his daycare.
Probably.
Well, I went down in the Grundy County.
Yeah.
He called it the fast song.
And I had to finally broke it to him.
I said, that ain't me, dude.
Oh yeah.
And in the, in the email he sent me, he's like, yeah, you need to listen to my
father's
hit, Cotton Eye Joe as well.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
Well, we are from Knoxville, you know, he's seen that sign a few times.
That checks out, man.
Um, as you make more music, so the new album, I'm the problem.
Mm-hmm.
As you make more music, because you have been so like prolific.
I think that's the word.
What does prolific mean?
I think that's the right word too.
Okay.
But I don't know if either one of us should be.
If there were the dictionary guys.
Yeah, yeah, dude, definitely.
It's like a lot.
Producing much fruit.
Producing much fruit foliage or offspring actually, it says.
I ain't been that prolific in that term, but yeah.
Presenting one plentiful, it says.
Producing many works, but does it get tougher to like, okay, how do I have, do
I not have
a song that sounds that's similar to a song I previous had?
Because when you have so many songs, does that get a little bit toug
