01:56I'm looking forward to sitting on my couch for a couple, a couple of days. A couple of

02:00minutes. A couple of minutes to sit on your couch. It's been a busy year. It's been a very

02:03busy year. This is a very busy year. When you sit on the couch, what are you going to like,

02:06you know, binge watch something and read a book? What are you going to do? Stare at the

02:14time while you're playing a little Fortnite. Yeah. Okay. Got it. What about you guys?

02:19I'll get that dope. Uh, man, I don't know. I was saying I'm just going to lay there and

02:24watch some sports and, uh, do a crossword puzzle. I'm trying to think of something.

02:30Trevor's sitting down doing the New York Times crossword puzzle. He's like, it's Sunday.

02:33No big deal. I just got the, a giant stack of, uh, uh, firewood delivered to the house.

02:39So I'm going to have some fires. You're going to have some fires. You're not like chopping your

02:42own firewood. No. Absolutely not. These hands? No. Yeah. This has got to play guitar. Okay.

02:51Jeff, what about you? You know those hands Brad Paisley talks about? Yeah. Yeah. He does?

02:56The creamy lotiony ones? The creamy lotiony hands. What? You know that song? I'm still a guy.

03:02Does he say that? And I'm still a guy? Yeah, he does. That's probably one of those lyrics that

03:06like you sing along to for years and you don't even realize what you're singing about. You're

03:09like, wait a second. You're singing creamy lotiony hands. Here we go. All right. Jeff,

03:14what do you got before the end of the year? I'll be baking bread and sitting in a hot tub.

03:19Not at the same time? That would be incredible. But those are the two things that I'm really

03:22important. I really thought you were going to say and taking names. I'll be breaking bread and

03:25taking names. I came here to do two things. Baked bread. You should get a floating, like,

03:31uh, you know, where you roll the dough out. Ooh. All right. Yeah. That is

03:35definitely not passing like health department standards for sure. I can't wait to just cut

03:41this entire interview so that it's just creamy lotiony hands, bread in a jacuzzi. I knew when

03:48you guys came in, this was going to go somewhere weird and I love it. All right. Good luck at CMA
