00:00Backstage right now with Mr. Jordan Davis. Let's give it up right now.
00:04He also brought his beard, so we're pretty pumped on that.
00:07Both of you are welcome.
00:08It made the trip.
00:09I'll be honest with you, it's pretty trim.
00:11It's very good.
00:12I trimmed it up a little bit. I feel like whenever I was like, I don't know, whenever I keep it long, I get kind of looking like a leprechaun.
00:19Well, the babies are probably grabbing onto it now.
00:22And it stays out of the range of Lachlan grabbing at it.
00:28It's good to have it.
00:30Although it's getting duck season, so I might have to go grow it out a little more.
00:34I don't know why you have to do that, but it just feels like you have to grow it out a little longer during duck season.
00:39I was going to say, where are we going with that?
00:41Nowhere.
00:41Is that a duck dynasty?
00:43It kind of is.
00:44It kind of is.
00:44Yeah, theirs is pretty long.
00:47But I don't know.
00:48I kind of like it.
00:49It's a lot cooler trimmed.
00:51Well, By Dirt, obviously the big song out right now with Luke Bryan.
00:54And you told us this story, but I want to hear it again, of you reaching out to Luke Bryan about this song.
01:02Yeah.
01:02And were you kind of like a little intimidated at first?
01:05100%.
01:06Yeah.
01:06Luke was like the radio when I was in college.
01:09So I met him playing golf one day and kind of just got to hang with him.
01:15And I feel like we became buddies.
01:18And he's like, well, look, man, take my number if you ever need anything or if I can ever help you out.
01:22Jeez.
01:23Take my number.
01:24Send me a message.
01:25And so I definitely didn't think that the first time I actually text him on anything would be like, hey, man, I want you to sing on this song.
01:32But, yeah, we wrote it, me, my brother, and two of my best friends, Matt and Josh Jenkins.
01:36And, you know, I didn't know if I was going to record it.
01:39I don't know when I was releasing music.
01:41So we were kind of writing with other artists in mind.
01:44And Luke was one of those artists.
01:46So I was like, man, I feel like Luke would crush this song.
01:49And then when we finished it, I was like, all right, I can't let go of this.
01:52So I just couldn't get his head, you know, couldn't get him singing on it out of my head.
01:57So I was like, man, maybe we'll do it together.
01:58So I did.
01:59I texted to him, and it all worked out.
02:01Yeah, it did.
02:02Well, since you have his number, he actually happens to be in Florida.
02:06Is he really?
02:07Maybe.
02:07Yeah, he was doing a festival last night at Fort Lauderdale.
02:10Maybe or maybe not.
02:11He's showing up tonight.
02:12Fly up here tonight and just cruise over here.
02:15You're making logical promises right now.
02:18Wouldn't that be awesome?
02:20We have to show everybody your word.
02:21Oh, okay.
02:22We forgot to show everybody your word.
02:23He's pretty slick.
02:24Yeah.
02:24So he might have gotten it in already because we've been talking.
02:26But go ahead, show everybody your word.
02:28So show everybody the word.
02:33Got it?
02:33All right, we'll keep going.
02:34I feel like I crushed that.
02:36So you getting a lot of sleep these days?
02:37No, none at all.
02:38None at all.
02:39Actually, I take that back.
02:40We're touring a ton.
02:42So, yes, I do get to sleep.
02:43This is your time, too.
02:44This is my time to – but at the house, luckily, my son has been a great sleeper, and my daughter
02:51sleeps great, too.
02:53So it's been better than I was expecting.
02:56Better than the first go-around.
02:58So your son's two now?
02:59Did he just turn two?
02:59My daughter just turned two.
03:00My daughter just turned two.
03:01My son's three months.
03:03Gosh.
03:03So we're in the throes of it.
03:04Yeah, you are.
03:05I'm amazed that I'm still alive right now.
03:08Because for the first two weeks, I was like, we have made a massive mistake.
03:13No, I'm kidding.
03:14That sounds so terrible.
03:15I love my child.
03:16Well, there we go.
03:17I love my kids.
03:19This is what I'm going for.
03:22But, yeah, we were just busy.
03:23Yeah, we were busy.
03:24We started a brand-new tour, and then you throw a newborn in the mix of it.
03:30Like, boom.
03:31You know, it's just crazy.
03:33But, yeah, we're still alive.
03:34Country artists.
03:35They're just like normal people.
03:36They have rough times with babies, too.
03:39My wife wants to kill me sometimes.
03:41Yeah, I love it.
03:43I want to go back to Buy a Dirt for just a second.
03:44I know you were in studio with Luke when you guys recorded this.
03:48I think you told us that he was asking for direction from you on it.
03:52Like, is this okay to sing it this way?
03:54And you were like, your reaction was what?
03:56I was like, dude, you're Luke Bryan.
03:57Like, just do whatever you were going to do on it.
03:59How cool is that?
04:00Or he would, like, sing a take of it, and then he'd pop his head out the vocal booth
04:05and be like, does that sound good?
04:06I'm like, yeah, sounds like Luke Bryan.
04:10Sounds really good, to be honest with you.
04:12But, man, he's such a good dude.
04:14And, you know, it's really cool that, you know, it's not easy to do collabs like that,
04:17especially with Luke.
04:18You know, he's got a ton of stuff going on.
04:19And so for him to take the time to jump on that, and he's done an awesome job of having
04:25me up to sing with him.
04:27And, you know, it just feels like a true collab to me.
04:30Right.
04:30And I was really happy he's treated it like that.
04:33That's awesome.
04:33Well, you deserve it, man.
04:34And we're glad you're here.
04:35And By Dirt, obviously, a huge song for you.
04:38And by the way, we did our Thursday 3 that we do every Thursday.
04:42Mm-hmm.
04:42And we all picked QIK guitar pole artists.
04:45Yep.
04:45And this woman right here picked a very special song.
04:48It's all voted by the QIK family that are here tonight and people that listen to our
04:51show.
04:52One of my songs?
04:52Yeah.
04:53Oh, yeah.
04:53Talk about it, Lana.
04:54Slow Dance in a Parking Lot.
04:56Oh, Slow Dance is great.
04:57Because it is the most romantic song.
05:00I mean, what a great story how they're on a date, they hear some Garth Brooks on the radio,
05:04and then they get up and then they start dancing in the parking lot.
05:06You know that's a very true story.
05:07Yeah.
05:07That's exactly Lonnie, my co-writer, Lonnie Fowler.
05:10That was him and his wife's first date.
05:12So, that's the only song and probably the only other song I ever write that is like
05:16100% like, just like, dude, tell us what happened.
05:20It's like, so romantic.
05:22So cool.
05:22You can back me up on this.
05:24We don't see Lana in the feels that often, but there's a reason for that, and that's
05:28because this just happened.
05:30Oh, yeah.
05:30Congratulations.
05:32That happened.
05:32Bree was telling you to come in.
05:33That's so awesome.
05:34Yeah, I'm so excited.
05:35Now, Lana's talking about romance all the time.
05:36I know.
05:37I know.
05:37Who's this?
05:38Well, how many times does a song that has Walmart in it, no offense, Walmart,
05:42but like, you know, whenever you think of like romantic songs, I don't think anything
05:47having Walmart in it is probably up there, but somehow we pulled it off.
05:50Yeah, it beat all the other songs.
05:52Everybody wanted to hear it.
05:53It's such a great song.
05:54So, are you going to do it tonight?
05:55Yeah, we're going to play that one.
05:56There you go, Lana.
05:57I guess we are now.
05:58Yeah, you are.
05:59By the way, thank you for being our presenting sponsor, Walmart.
06:03I'm kidding.
06:03I'm totally joking.
06:05How about a gift card?
06:08They got you.
06:08They gave you nothing?
06:09No.
06:10Wow.
06:11I guess I don't have Walmart in the name, but it was a Walmart.
06:14Although, the only parking lot I've ever slow danced with, my wife, was Target.
06:18Oh, Target.
06:19Because I had never done it.
06:19They would have stepped it up.
06:20I know, right?
06:21Target, baby.
06:22Yeah.
06:23Dang right.
06:23All right, brother.
06:24Jordan Davis, coming to your stage.
06:25Thank you for being here, man.
06:26Thank y'all.
06:27Thank you for being here.
