00:01We ain't going to die.
00:03What's up, man?
00:04Look, bro, you cleaned up pretty good yourself.
00:06You look amazing.
00:07Listen, a little bit of cow skin.
00:09You know, a girl Bex hooked me up.
00:10How you feeling?
00:11What was the style of inspiration tonight?
00:13I feel good, man.
00:14Just the outlaws, man.
00:16Outlaws never die.
00:18You know, just kind of like this era I'm in.
00:20I'm just keeping it clean.
00:22You know what I mean?
00:22So it's a little dark out there, you know what I mean, in the world.
00:24So you got to be ready.
00:26Well, it's dark out in the world, but that's what I love about your music.
00:28It always puts us in a good place, and Born to Die, man, I've been playing the hell out of
00:32it.
00:32So tell me about why you picked that single to kind of kick off this whole era for you.
00:36You know, with the concept album, The Outlaw Sherry Lee, it just feels like it speaks to the whole theme
00:41of the whole project.
00:42You know, as outlaws, it's like, you know, you know where it's kind of headed, but between the death and
00:48the life,
00:48there's so much life in between, and some of those moments are the ones that I wanted to capture in
00:53that video.
00:53So, you know, you kind of know how it is when you're living life as an outlaw, you know, you
00:59know where it's going.
01:00But you're killing it, man.
01:01I love that.
01:02You're also nominated tonight alongside Jelly Roll for your massive hit.
01:05What is one thing that maybe the fans wouldn't expect you guys to have so in common?
01:11Man, we definitely love to play basketball.
01:14What?
01:14Basketball.
01:15Basketball.
01:15Basketball.
01:16He's a real health guy, so we work out a lot.
01:19I love that.
01:191v1 basketball.
01:20Yeah, 100%.
01:20That's amazing.
01:21100%.
01:22That's a big one.
01:22And we like, well, you know, we like to hit saunas.
01:25Oh, the sauna.
01:26Basketball, a little sauna.
01:27Wellness church.
01:28I would not have called that.
01:29Yeah.
01:29And then are we going to celebrate tonight in Vegas?
01:31We are here after all.
01:33A little blackjack, man.
01:34That's how I celebrate.
01:34I started the day with it.
01:36I wasn't lucky, but I think maybe later.
01:38It's so fun, man, but don't get too carried away, but it's a fun thing to do.
01:41I know.
01:41She talked about celebrating.
01:42I feel like I'm being honest with you.
01:44If I show up to an event and you're not there, I'm like, this is whack.
01:46I feel like we're at the best stuff, and if I see you, I know I'm at the right event.
01:50Yeah.
01:50So the fact that you go to everything like that, what makes you want to go to something?
01:54What draws you out of the house?
01:56Man, what makes me want to go to something is just being outside.
01:59I mean, the fans, friends, colleagues, peers, you guys, I think all that stuff is just,
02:05nothing beats it, man.
02:06We're all celebrating, win or lose.
02:08We're here, and we've all had amazing years, and it's just cool to just see everybody.
02:13Just seeing Laney and Doug, congratulations to them.
02:15They just got married, so it's good to just be out with everybody.
02:20You know what I mean?
02:20We outside, bro.
02:21Well, thank you.
02:21Good to see you as always.
02:22Loving the new music.
02:23Can't wait for the album, and the tour, by the way.
