00:00 We're here with Midland. How's it going guys?
00:02 Really good. How are you doing?
00:04 I'm so good. How can I not be?
00:06 Thank you so much. I have to say the same for the two of you.
00:09 You're just kind of showing off your entire fit for a second.
00:12 What's the story behind this suit that I overheard?
00:15 I just bought this from our friend Cowboy Phil,
00:17 who has an amazing shop in Knoxville, Tennessee, called Pioneer House.
00:21 And I bought a suit from the 30s, and this turns out is from Porters of Tucson,
00:26 and that's my hometown. It's also where I live.
00:28 I had no idea. That's pretty cool.
00:30 First edition.
00:31 That's from 1975.
00:32 What does this one say?
00:34 20 years after I was born.
00:35 Well, this one says Fort Worth, Texas.
00:37 What the hell's going on here?
00:38 Billy Bob's.
00:39 This is called Undressing with Billboard.
00:41 I feel like a lot of signs today.
00:44 Yeah?
00:45 That we might win an award, maybe.
00:46 But that might just be my mind or the tequila. I can't tell.
00:51 And if you were to do that, would you just rip off the jacket again?
00:54 How would you celebrate?
00:55 If we win tonight?
00:56 Yeah.
00:57 He'd rip just the sleeves off of it.
00:59 Oh, that's even more badass.
01:00 No, I'll rip just the sleeves off. I don't accept that.
01:02 And what would you do?
01:04 I'd rip his sleeves off.
01:05 Right back off, yeah, because he'd be so pissed off.
01:07 And we'd trade sleeves.
01:10 Honestly, that's perfect.
01:11 That's the best answer I've ever heard for winning.
01:13 And you and I got the--
01:14 It's wasteful, but, you know, it's a little bit wasteful.
01:17 You can sew them back on.
01:19 All right, you guys. So what are you most--other than that, of course--
01:21 what are you most excited for tonight once you get in that room?
01:24 We are excited to see--
01:28 I mean, is Post Malone, like, the answer to just everybody--
01:31 that's got to be the answer, right?
01:32 A lot of people are saying Post Malone.
01:34 Have you met him?
01:35 Yes, as a matter of fact. Yeah, we did.
01:38 We played a thing in L.A. that he was at.
01:40 Mark spent some time--
01:42 I spent a lot of time with him, and then we swapped numbers,
01:44 and I texted him a couple times, and he never wrote me back.
01:46 So I'm going to talk some shit tonight when I see Posty.
