00:00Hi Nicole, how you doing? Good, Tim McGraw. I mean, listen, thank you so much for taking some time to call in and chit-chat with us.
00:07My pleasure, glad to. And, you know, I would have loved for you to stop by when you were in town on Monday, but I'll forgive you.
00:13Oh, well, you know, it was the coolest thing because I had two private gigs that had been booked for a while.
00:20One was Monday morning and one was Tuesday night, not knowing that the Phillies were going to end up in the NLCS.
00:27And so I was looking forward to going to Philly, having some cheesesteaks, hanging out with my brothers.
00:33And I spent the whole day Monday afternoon with my brother at his firehouse down in Chinatown.
00:38Yeah, and I actually live right down the street, so that's technically my firehouse.
00:42So when they pull the fire alarm in my building, I'm always like, is Mark here? Is Tim's brother here?
00:48He's the good-looking guy that shows up. He's way better looking than I am.
00:53No, no, no.
00:54But, yeah, it was fun to hang out with those guys, and they made some cheesesteaks, and I had lunch with the whole fire crew.
01:01And then later that night, we got to go to the ballgame with my brother Mark and my other brother Matthew.
01:08We got to hang out, and what a game it was. And then I had a private show the next day, so it worked out perfect.
01:13You know what was so crazy, Tim, is that, so I'm on the air from 2 to 7, so I get on the air, and, you know, obviously we're playing Standing Room Only.
01:20We're going to talk about that in a second because it's such a massive hit.
01:22And I literally go, you know, listen, like, the Phillies are killing it.
01:26I have a feeling we're going to be seeing Tim McGraw in Philly soon.
01:29And then fast forward, like, 30 minutes later, I open Instagram, and I see your brother's post that you were there.
01:35And I was like, oh, my God, I manifested him today.
01:39It was fun. It reminded me.
01:42Last year we were all at the first game of the World Series.
01:44Yeah.
01:45When we were jacking home runs off the bat.
01:47And it reminded me of the energy of that night.
01:49It was, that place is electric.
01:51It's got to be the best stadium to play baseball in in the whole country.
01:54Well, you know what's so crazy is that, obviously, Standing Room Only, you wrote that as this serious song, and it's so good and so meaningful.
02:02But yet, it's so fitting for Citizens Bank Park because it literally is Standing Room Only there.
02:08Yeah, let's make it the theme for the rest of the NLCS and for the World Series.
02:14Yes.
02:15So, really, I want to talk about, I got to talk about your tour because you're going to be back in Philly, too.
02:19But do you feel that, like, if they do make it to the World Series, or maybe I should say when they make it to the World Series, that you'll come back for a game or two?
02:26I'm hoping. I got my fingers crossed.
02:28Okay, good.
02:29I hope it worked out.
02:29I'm hoping it, too.
02:30So, you were hanging out with the Kelsey brothers, obviously, Jason and Travis, on Monday at the game.
02:36And they had pictures all over the place, and they talked about you on the New Heights podcast.
02:40Did you know that?
02:41I didn't know that, but it was a lot of fun hanging out with those guys.
02:43What nice guys.
02:44Really nice guys.
02:45But I felt like I was, like, 12 years old standing next to this big guy, man.
02:54And, you know, I'm six foot tall.
02:57I was standing next to those guys, and I felt like, man, I'm, like, 5'3".
03:00I know.
03:01It's so funny when you meet professional athletes.
03:04You're like, oh, that's why you're a professional athlete, because you're 6'5".
03:09Yeah, well, I'm saying he's 6'8", when I look at that.
03:12Oh, wow.
03:13Yeah, it was fun.
03:13And they talked about you on the podcast, and they just said it was so cool to meet you.
03:16And my first reaction was, did Travis sing Tim McGraw-Taylor's version to you when he met you?
03:22No, I don't think he knew it.
03:25He has to learn.
03:26I mean, that's, like, Taylor's first most iconic song is you.
03:29I know, I know, but, you know, Taylor's first song was me, and then we did a song called How We Don't Care Together.
03:35You got to catch up.
03:36Yeah, and he's like, oh, okay, okay, yes, sir, yes, sir.
03:40That's so good.
03:41So, okay, you're doing this massive tour.
03:44It's the Standing Room Only tour, and you're going to be back.
03:47With Carly Pearce, yeah.
03:48Yeah, and it's with Carly Pearce, which is so good.
03:50You're doing huge arenas, which is awesome.
03:52You're going to be at the Wells Fargo Center on June 20th.
03:54So I feel that, like, it's time for you and Faith to get a house here in Philly and make yourself residents.
04:00You know what?
04:01We're probably honorary residents of Philly anyway because of all the history.
04:06Yeah, it is awesome, yeah.
04:07You do such a good job of, like, embracing your dad's legacy, and everybody loves so much that you embrace being a Phillies fan.
04:14So it's just so cool to be able to play your songs next to you, and, yeah, it's great.
04:18Well, you guys have been there for me from the very beginning of my career, and I appreciate it.
04:21You've always taken care of me every time I've had a record come out, and I've always appreciated it.
04:26Oh, well, I mean, you put out hits, Tim.
04:28I mean, hit after hit.
04:30It's like when you put out Standing Room Only, I'm like, again, another hit.
04:33He doesn't miss.
04:35Come on.
04:36We're trying, man.
04:37We're trying.
04:37I love it.
04:38Thank you so much for taking the time to call in, and hopefully we will see you back at Citizens Bank Park.
04:45We need – I mean, yesterday was a little tough, a little tough with the loss, but I feel that, like, you were around baseball a long time.
04:50I feel like maybe it was, like, the traveling, the heat, you know, the bats weren't hitting or something.
04:55We were catching our breath.
04:56We were ready to go.
04:57Yeah.
04:57All right.
04:58Tim McGraw said it first.
04:59Legend.
05:00Go Phillies.
05:00Go Phillies.
05:01Go Phillies.
05:03Got some of South Philly action in there.
05:05You call – say the L's with the W's.
05:07Yes.
05:07You literally are, like, official screw Rocky.
05:12It's Tim McGraw all day, every day.
05:14We want to fight Rocky.
05:17That's so awesome.
05:18All right.
05:18We will definitely see you in Philly soon.
05:19You are the absolute best.
05:20Have a great weekend, and give our love to Faith, too.
