Do you have other projects that you already have on the docket, Kevin?
Yes.
We're working on one with Jelly Roll that I'm going to be.
It's actually a drama, a country music drama that we're working together.
You see that video of him the other night at the Grammys?
Were you there?
Yeah.
No, I wasn't there.
He is amazing, man.
Yeah, he's great.
I got a shirt.
I bought a shirt at Walmart before coming here, and I already stained it up a
little bit.
Let's go.
Yeah, let's go, Jelly.
He sent me a pair of those shoes.
They're like, I don't know what they're called.
Oh, yes, yeah.
The boots that he wears?
Yeah, something like that, yeah.
Yeah, they're great.
He's an amazing human being, man.
I'm so proud of him and so excited to do this.
And in this drama, here's the thing.
We both, he goes, hey, if we're going to do this, we got to get into prison
shape.
Because we go to prison.
We're both in prison in the movie, and it's real.
Where at?
What city?
In Nashville.
Oh, nice.
I haven't been to the prison here.
Yeah, it's a whole thing about getting to the Opry.
And it's a really, it's a cool story, and there's a lot of drama in it, and it's
exciting.
But we said, okay, we're going to commit now to doing this.
And he went out and lost like 300 pounds, and I am up seven.
I got to get down.
You're up seven pounds right now?
Yes.
He's down like 300.
I'm up seven.
Oh, that's a crazy spread.
So, yeah, it's a big spread.
We went the wrong way.
And you already shot.
No, no, we didn't shoot anything yet.
We shoot in like, we're hoping to do seven, eight months.
We're going to be ready to shoot.
Do you think you can get to that?
I know I can.
I'm going to do it right now.
I'm literally, after I promote this movie, which I'm doing, I'm shutting down
from everything
else, and I'm going into training mode like never before.
I'm going to work out.
I'm going to change everything.
I'm going to be unrecognizable.
I have to say it.
If I don't say it, I'll never be accountable.
What will you do?
Like, what do you have?
Do you have like a plan?
Oh, I know what I'm going to do.
Yeah, I'm going to do everything.
Like, well, I'm going to go easy, though.
You know, it's like, that's the one thing.
I'm very eclectic when I work out.
Like, I do, you know, I'll do a little bit of jujitsu and stuff like that.
Light stuff, though, now, and boxing and then stretching and a little bit of
stuff.
Bike riding, things like that.
Pool is insane, you know.
Swimming?
Not swimming.
I'm not a swimmer, but just getting in a pool and stretching and moving a
little bit.
Yeah.
If you can do that, if you have access to that.
Dude, but it's also like.
You burn a lot of calories.
And it's therapeutic because the water holds you.
So it's like your body feels good stretching and moving.
Oh, yeah.
So doing a lot of that.
And no, I got to get on it, though.
He's like, he's lived up to his part of the bargain.
Or are you going to have a trainer?
Like, what else do you do?
I do, but trainers get annoying to me.
I got to be honest.
Like, after a while.
Yeah.
And you know what?
If I'm being completely honest, I've done it before.
I know what to do.
I know what to eat.
I know what, you know, but I am using Dolce.
Do you know Mike Dolce?
He's got the Dolce diet.
He's trained all these UFC athletes.
Oh, wait.
I have met him before.
Yeah.
He's awesome.
He's going to help me.
Yes.
He's a badass.
He's a really good.
So he's going to help.
He is going to help.
He's frustrated with me because I don't, I haven't been doing, he knows I haven't
been
doing it.
Yeah, you're up seven.
Yeah.
So he, I don't think he knew that.
I guess he's going to know that now.
All right.
Sorry, Dolce.
I'm up seven.
But I didn't lock in yet.
When I lock in, I promise you it's going to be six months.
I'm going to be a different person.
What would be the hardest thing for you to give up, you think?
Food-wise or just, I mean.
Probably food-wise, yeah.
Or is it a beer-wise or what is it?
No, no.
It's not drinking.
I'm not a big, big drinker.
It's just food.
And it's just amounts of food.
Like, I could eat constantly if you change the food.
Like a shark.
Like, I would just keep swimming.
Like, I would just keep.
Yeah.
I don't get, I don't get full, really, you know.
It's scary.
It's something in me that, you know, I need to stop.
But are you a big eater?
You look great, man.
I like to eat some, but I don't care that much.
You don't?
I like beef quesadillas and I like smoothie.
Okay, but so you're not.
That's a great combo.
Yeah, those are the two things I eat every single day.
Do you really?
Yeah, if I'm eating, that's what I eat.
I love that.
It's easy.
We have seven ingredients here.
But you don't think about it.
See, look at your face.
You're kind of like, that's your face when, you know, that's not my face with
food.
But I think it's lame to not care about food sometimes.
I think like, dude, get some zest in your world.
No, I think what you're doing is...
Think about a fucking sauce or something.
No, I think that's...
I would rather be like that because, you know, why am I so concerned about what
I'm eating
for lunch?
Like, I'm thinking about it constantly.
I'm looking at you right now.
Yeah.
But I'm thinking tonight.
Where...
Like, you don't want to make a mistake.
You don't want to go...
That's a good point.
Right?
Nothing's worse than making a mistake at a...
Especially when you're like, we're in Nashville now.
Oh, dude.
So we got to pop.
You got to find something good.
Dude, I went to...
I ordered a steak from this place, STK, last night or something.
STK's great.
This was not, dude.
This...
Oh, really?
STK missed?
Didn't they have a place in the...
They have a few of them, right?
They're a chain?
Yeah.
I mean, it just...
But not a...
Oh, it still makes me sick.
It tastes like...
I don't even know.
Oh, STK.
Sorry.
I'm out then.
I'm out.
If you had a bad one...
Oh, it tasted like...
No, I'm done.
It tasted like...
Wow.
Okay.
Vagina.
If they had one in LA, I think I went to it and it was good.
1400s or whatever.
Like, game of...
Really?
Groans, dude.
It was horrible.
Game of...
Oh, dude.
I can still...
I had one bite and I was like, oh, maybe I got a bad piece of the meat or
whatever.
It tasted bad or it was tough?
It tasted bad and it just had this...
Like, aroma or...
Oh, no.
Ordeur or whatever with it.
And, dude, that ordeur hit me and I was like...
Wait, what is the ordeur?
Oh, you've seen the ordeur ordeur?
Ordeur?
Yes.
It hit me, dude.
I fucking...
My knees shook a little.
Did they?
I was like, God, yeah.
But do you think it was like...
Like, just bad tasting or it was bad...
Like, you're going to get sick?
I couldn't tell.
I couldn't tell, dude.
But I had one more bite because I was like...
You went back?
I was like...
Why?
Dude, I was treating myself to something, you know?
Yeah.
I hadn't really eaten all day and I was coming home and I was like, I'm going
to treat myself
to something tonight.
I'm going to order a steak because I still have to work.
I was going to try to go somewhere to eat, but it was getting...
It was so late.
Yeah.
And I was like...
And they sent it and I was like, huh.
No, no.
You can't.
It made me fucking when you do that kind of shit.
Like, you turn into your own chiropractor and shit.
See, I wouldn't get upset.
Like, once it was bad, I have no problem switching foods.
Like, I would go right to peanut butter and jelly and I would make a massive
sandwich.
God, now those are good.
I guess they're as good when you're a kid, but I just quit eating them years
ago.
What?
Peanut butter and jelly.
Why?
You still eat them?
Yes, I do.
Yes, I do.
What is your ratio of peanut butter to jelly?
Oh, I used to think...
Oh, I think I go thick on both and I'll put...
If I'm really going to have one, I haven't had one in years, but I would put
butter on the jelly side as well.
Butter, jelly, and then the other bread has peanut butter on it.
My grandmother used to do that.
Toast?
Or no?
No.
Sometimes my mom used to grill them with bananas in them, though.
That's insane.
I'm stuck on butter right now.
Like, my mind is going...
Like, a beautiful mind right now.
I've seen all the equations of, like, why I didn't do it.
But I got to tell you, first of all, I go much thicker peanut butter.
Like, I thick it up.
Oh, really?
It's a lot.
Yeah.
You just choke a little.
Yeah, that's fine.
I get it down.
And then, it's worth it, though.
And I get a little jelly in there just to get that sweet going, but it's a big
one.
And I'll do toast sometimes, but if you do too hot of a toast...
I know this is a little bit too much information, but then you get the wet
peanut.
Like, it melts and it comes right out.
It squeezes out the side.
How do you feel when peanut butter started doing that thing a few years ago
where they put just two parts of peanut butter into a jar?
It's like the oil in the part they separate.
No, I can't stand that.
That's insane.
Yeah, I can't stand that.
What is that?
I don't want to do the skippy...
Yeah, there you go.
That's the drip.
There you go.
That drip is good, but if it goes out of the sandwich, it's useless.
And you lose it.
You lose it.
It's like, that could have been in me.
Yeah.
God.
Yeah, I do miss stuff like that.
I don't like that at all.
I do miss those kid foods, those lunchables.
I can't believe you.
Why did you stop?
I mean, when you say kid foods...
I forgot about it.
They're foods.
They don't...
I mean, macaroni and cheese with the Kraft, with the powder, it never stops.
Why do...
When do you go...
What age is it appropriate to go, I'm not eating the powdered cheese?
Something happened to me, I guess.
I just...
I don't know.
I just...
I just started...
You know what?
I just like working so much, I just don't think about food that much.
But maybe this will start, you know?
Maybe I'll start falling in love with some new things, you know?
I would like to go the other way.
I would love to be like that.
I wish I had that, where I wasn't thinking about it so much.
What's going to be the toughest part for you with this coming up change?
I know you've got to get out of here and feel like...
What's going to be the toughest part?
It's just going to be the food.
It is.
It's going to be cutting that out, being...
But once I get into a groove, it's routine.
Routine and discipline, man.
That's all it ever is, right?
So if you do it a little bit and you do it enough and, you know, you don't need
a perfect
every day, but that's the other thing, too.
I let the perfect be the enemy of the good, which means if I'm not perfect that
day, I
go screw it and I eat like crazy that night and I blow it.
And I, you know, if I get a flat tire, Weibin always says, you always, you know,
if you
get one flat, you just pop the other three tires.
Like, you know, it's like you don't just fix that one.
I do.
Like, so if I go off my diet a little bit, I go out that night.
I'm eating, drinking, having a blast.
And I'm like, I'll start tomorrow because it's a fresh start that I'm looking
for.
Oh.
I love that start fresh because I've always been that guy.
I've always been the guy to never do the homework, you know, but when I should,
it's Monday morning,
I get it done.
And then I get it, it's like, and it's like, because I can do it.
That's the same.
Dude.
Yeah.
I was always a guy.
I wrote every answer on my finger.
I go in there.
Yes.
Yes.
Like that.
Little bitty words on there.
Yeah.
Cheating.
Um...
Yeah.
