00:00It's Justin Live at the CMAs with Parker, McCollum.
00:04I've actually been the most excited for this interview all day.
00:07Oh, man.
00:08You're buttering me up.
00:09I get to ask you about singing with Peyton Manning.
00:11That's what I was waiting for.
00:12I was just talking to him before I walked in here.
00:14He just got to town.
00:15Did you know he was coming on stage when you guys sang together?
00:17I did, yeah.
00:18He's a buddy of mine, and we got to know each other playing some golf earlier this year
00:22back in March.
00:25We're going hunting together in about a month or two down in South Texas.
00:28So he's just a normal dude, such a good dude.
00:31Are you like a Colts fan, the Broncos guy?
00:34No, I'm actually a Houston Texans fan.
00:36He played for the Colts, and they're in the AFC South
00:38and beat us every single time he played us for about 12 years.
00:42So I didn't really like him that much back then.
00:47But he's a really good friend of mine now.
00:49He's a good guy.
00:49C.J. Stroud put up 52 points for me in fantasy this week.
00:52Yeah, he is.
00:54Baller.
00:54Dude, baller.
00:55You got the best kid in the draft.
00:56No question.
00:57New Artist of the Year, you're up for it.
00:59Yes, sir.
00:59When they tell you, are you nervous, or are you like, just another day?
01:02Not really nervous, man.
01:03You just, and I, so sincerely when I say this, it is like a crazy honor to get to be
01:10recognized a little bit in this business.
01:12This town's so talented.
01:14There's so many freaking good artists.
01:15The bar is very high.
01:18And so to get, you know, to be considered, you know, at any point in time, I just really
01:22don't take it for granted.
01:24And glad to get, you know, you don't know, may all be gone next year.
01:28So, you know.
01:30CMA Awards, you always hit it out of the park with the fits.
01:33We got planned.
01:34Anything good?
01:35I got nothing planned, man.
01:36No?
01:36No.
01:36I'm wearing the same, I'm wearing basically the same stuff that I wore last year to the
01:40CMAs.
01:41No one's going to notice.
01:42No, no one will care.
01:43No one cares.
01:45But, no, it'll be good, man.
01:46I like to stay real low key.
01:48I like to just slide in and, you know, be thankful and slide out.
01:51So, next summer, we have a rescheduled Morgan Wallen date in Philly.
01:56You're going to be there.
01:57You're playing at Citizens Bank Park.
01:59The Phillies will welcome you there, and so will Philadelphia.
02:02I'm excited.
02:03Yeah, we're, I've got a bittersweet feeling about playing in that ballpark.
02:07They've dogged on my Astros so many times there.
02:10But, you know, I'm actually a big Bryce Harper fan and a big Schwarber fan.
02:14I really, I mean, they're some of my favorite ballplayers.
02:17So, hopefully they'll come out to the show.
02:19Astros got us last year, but, you know.
02:21I was hoping it would be a rematch this year.
02:23It was close.
02:24I can't believe, I thought Phillies were going to win it for sure.
02:26Well, we didn't show up.
02:28It was, see, now if you're on the same page, we're feeling sad about baseball.
02:31It's bad.
02:32I've got to present an award with Corey Seager tomorrow.
02:34Oh, my God.
02:36I'm like 50% happy about that, you know.
02:38But, like, he's a, like, I don't like the Rangers, but I love him.
02:42He's a terrific ballplayer, and I'm a really big fan of his.
02:46So, it'll be cool to meet him.
02:47Cool.
02:48Parker McCollum, thanks for stopping by.
02:50Yeah.
