00:00Hey brother. Riley, hello. It's good to see you. How's it going? It's good, it's great. I feel like you
00:05come up all tall and I'm feeling like a ninja right now. I'm like, oh my god, how are you?
00:10How are the ACMs so far? It's great. I love that it's back in Vegas. It feels right. I enjoyed
00:14it when it was in Dallas, but I know my way around these ACMs. It's awesome, man. It's a big
00:20gathering of all your favorite country music artists. What's one of your favorite memories at the ACMs over the years?
00:26Well, getting to perform is always a big deal. You know, sadly, I won new metal artists of the year
00:31during the COVID year, so we didn't really have the ACMs, but there was something cool about I got to
00:35perform. I wish grandpa's never died in the Ryman. Oh, wow. You know, and it was obviously broadcast. It wasn't
00:41a live audience, but that was a cool moment. It's always when you go and look at the names of
00:44the people that have won new metal artists of the year, it makes you feel like you did something. Yeah,
00:48you did, man.
00:49You also announced last week that you're going to be a coach on The Voice. I think that's amazing. What
00:56can you kind of tell us about that?
00:57I don't know. Hell, I don't know. I haven't done it yet. I'm going to find out like everybody else.
01:01Who would have you watched this to feel so about?
01:05Well, I watched Blake, and I remember how great he was on there, and his sense of humor is perfect
01:10for that show, so, you know, trying to recreate that.
01:12But the great thing about this show is it's not a scripted thing, so I get to be myself, and
01:16I'm excited about seeing some of the up-and-coming artists and hopefully being able to help them in some
01:22way, even just telling them what not to do, you know?
01:23Well, listen, I'm going to go ahead and put you on the spot right now. People love you. The girls,
01:27everybody. People are obsessed with you, Riley. A contestant comes up to you. They need to learn some charisma. What
01:33are you telling them?
01:34Charisma? You can hide a lot under a cowboy hat. You know what I mean?
01:37Nobody looks nervous in a cowboy hat.
01:39A TV quote right there.
01:40I love that quote.
01:41Or behind a mustache.
01:43There you go. You can hide a lot under the cowboy hat and behind the mustache.
01:47I love the sticker.
01:47There you go. Have so much fun, Riley, man. We're so excited with you. Good to see you.
01:51Thanks. Nice to meet you.
01:52Congrats on the game.
