I think Post Malone coming and living in Nashville for two years and writing with all Nashville songwriters and featuring Nashville artists on his record. I think he did it in such a perfect way. And I think he's making genuine country music. And I think it has been such a blessing for us to have him over here because it's grown the genre like crazy. And that's not a flash in a pan thing either.

I mean, he's been a country fan for a long time. And I think that that kind of reverence shows that you genuinely care about the genre and genuinely want to be part of it rather than just like capitalizing on a pop moment, you know, or like a flash in a pan. I have a crazy story about Post Malone. My first record deal, I was in a band and I got signed by Toby Keith and Toby and I went on tour.

It was me. And then I think it was David Lee Murphy and then Toby on the tour. And it was the coolest tour I've ever been on. Right. These legends. And I'm kicking off the show and I'm playing when there's like a thousand people there. You know, nobody's gotten to their seats yet. Everybody's like pouring a drink and we're on stage to an empty amphitheater. But it was awesome. Right. Yeah.

And the other guys were with him were Seal Team 6. So it was me, Seal Team 6, Post Malone, and Toby Keith. And we passed around like one of the giant, giant handles of Jack Daniels. Everybody was smoking inside the tour bus and a guitar. And we passed it around and played covers until like 4 o'clock in the morning. Were you just like, what the fuck is my life?
