Like I'm a guy that's going to come in and take a shit in here. And like, I'm that, I look that bad, dude. Like maybe I got to step up my casual attire just a little bit. Yeah.

What challenges does Luke Combs face with nicotine addiction?
Like I'm just kind of... So I can't just get hammered because I was driving myself to gigs and stuff. So it was like, there was really nothing else to do. Cigarettes are the coolest thing I've ever done. Yeah. You look awesome in like pictures and stuff. Yeah. People are like this. I remember running with my buddy. Like we were just running, went for a jog in college. Chris Roberts, coolest fucking dude I ever met. Bought a Harley in college. You know, that's such a move. He had a tattoo in high school. Yeah, and you're like, damn, this guy is wicked cool. And his dad was like, I mean, I hope Chris is hearing this. And if I misrepresent you, Chris, I'm sorry. But his dad was like a mailman, you know? So his dad was like working class.
His mom was like a teacher or something. So like there was no pretense to him. He was who he was. And in a group full of like very privileged white kids, he just showed up, gets tatted up, buys a Harley. Cool as fuck. He had a tat on his side like when we were in college. And then we'd go for a jog one day. He's in great shape. We'd go for a jog, get back to his house, and he lights a Camel Light.
