00:00 Oh, dude, I'm doing better than I've ever done. I've been eating better, losing weight,
00:05 drinking water, not drinking as much, but when I drink, I still drink a lot. Tonight
00:09 will be one of those nights, I tell you, as new artist of the year. I'm feeling great.
00:13 And you know, the cool thing is I was telling my wife just a second ago, I haven't touched
00:16 my phone tonight at all. I have lived this moment, dude. I got to sit next to Zach Brown
00:21 and my wife and Lainey Wilson and Post Malone. I soaked in every conversation. I literally,
00:26 I don't even, I don't know what the phone's saying. I'm hearing good things. I hope it's
00:28 true. It's crazy the moment that we're in in country music when ladies like Lainey Wilson
00:33 are winning entertainer of the year and Kelsey Ballerini standing up there with an acoustic
00:37 guitar and killing it. And Ashley McBride's raising the roof. The love I get is because
00:42 I respect so much that country music has casted a bigger net than it's ever casted. So it's
00:48 easy to love people and be loved because I love people. I hated people forever. I hated
00:52 life. I blamed everybody but myself. I'm in an era where I just want to love people and
00:56 be loved. It has been one of the greatest stories ever told. An almost 40 year old man
01:00 won new artist of the year after releasing 300 songs in his career.
