00:00We love you.

00:01Nominated for Entertainer of the Year, Jelly Roll.

00:04What's up, my man?

00:05Dude, listen, every time I see Gary from Rascal Flatts, I fan out like I just met him

00:10again for the first time.

00:11That's how I just felt, too.

00:12And we're friends now, and I'm still like, oh, dude, that's Gary LaFox from Rascal Flatts.

00:16You know what's crazy?

00:17Do you know he don't do vocal warmups?

00:18What?

00:19That doesn't surprise me.

00:20That voice is non-vocally warmed up.

00:23Wow.

00:24I'm not making this up, y'all.

00:25He literally is just like, okay, and life is a holiday.

00:30It's crazy, dude.

00:31It is a gift.

00:32It is unreal.

00:33One thing I want to say, I saw one of my friends tweet this about you at Stagecoach.

00:39They're like, I went to a Jelly Roll show, but I got five concerts in one.

00:42And when I say that, everybody loves you.

00:44You've had so many collaborations.

00:46So many people are involved in your career.

00:48How does that feel to then come to a show and see everybody?

00:50Dude, it's a family reunion.

00:51I am almost to the point that I'm only coming to these things to see my friends.

00:56You know what I mean?

00:57It's funny.

00:58It's crazy because the further you get into it, the more the, you know, when you win an

01:01award, it changes your whole life.

01:02And after that, you just want to see everybody else experience the change you experienced.

01:06So, like, I'm here tonight cheering for Cody Johnson to win Entertainer of the Year.

01:09That's why I'm here.

01:10I'm nominated for it, and I'm humbled by it.

01:12But I'm here because my friend Laney already won, but my friend Cody hasn't, and he

01:15deserves it.

01:16I voted for him, and he deserves it in Texas.

01:18You're an angel.

01:19I love that.

01:20You know, people have been showing up for you all week.

01:22Everyone's been talking about how fun your show was.

01:23I think it was Tuesday night, right?

01:25Yeah, we had a bomb.

01:26Amazing.

01:27How do you keep the energy?

01:28Oh, dude.

01:29I sleep when I can.

01:30Tons of water.

01:31But people, man.

01:32I'm a people person.

01:33I feel the energy.

01:34And I'll be honest, man.

01:35You don't have to worry about energy when God's there.

01:38God's going to do all that.

01:39He's the non-stop battery.

01:40You know what I'm saying?

01:41That's a good tagline.

01:43Yeah, that's it.

01:44Try Jesus.

01:45You'll stay awake.

01:46And then I need to ask, speaking of friends, you and Post, this tour is just phenomenal.

01:51I'll be there Friday night.

01:52Yay!

01:53What can you say about that relationship?

01:54Both, you know, on a personal level, and then maybe if you two are working on another

01:58hit together?

01:59We are definitely working.

02:00That's my buddy.

02:01Man, first of all, we're talking about one of the biggest artists in the world.

02:06We're talking about Post Malone.

02:08We're talking about the dude that wrote White Iverson and Rockstar and Congratulations

02:13and Sunflower.

02:14He could have took anybody.

02:16He didn't have to take me.

02:17He didn't have to take a country act.

02:19He didn't have to do any of that.

02:21And he picked me.

02:22And I'm forever grateful.

02:23I did nothing to earn that spot.

02:25That's the truth.

02:26I'm serious.

02:27But that's one of those things you can't earn.

02:29Somebody just hate.

02:30Those are gifts.

02:31And he gifted me that.

02:32And I am not dropping the ball.

02:35I am showing.

02:36You will see Friday.

02:37He gave the right guy the ball, baby.

02:39I scored a touchdown and spiked it.

02:41You know what I'm saying, bro?

02:42Yes.

02:43We're so proud of you at Billboard.

02:44You know how much we love you, man.

02:45So can't wait to see the show.

02:46You deserve everything that has come your way, truly.

02:48You're phenomenal.

02:49And I'm proud of y'all.

02:50I'm super proud of you, too.

02:51I've got to watch us grow the last few years together in these award shows together,

02:55man.

02:56And you deserve to be here.

02:57You're a great interview and you're a great spirit.

02:59This is home to you.

03:00And I can't wait.

03:02One day I'm going to want to quit coming to these things and I'm going to come for you.

03:05I love you, bro.

03:06I love you.

03:07I love you.
