00:00Wait a minute, tell me, both of you just met Mark McGrath and none of you let me know?
00:08No, no, no, my bandgas did.
00:09I didn't get to meet him.
00:10He hasn't gotten there yet.
00:11We're in the same boat.
00:12We haven't met him yet.
00:13Let's go run him down right now.
00:14Do you remember that?
00:15I think he just got off the stage.
00:16I think now's the perfect time.
00:17Do you remember that first album that Sugar Ray put out?
00:19Do you remember that?
00:20I think it had Fly on it.
00:22It was probably the one that I was obsessed with.
00:26I rediscovered that when I saw that they have this super group now, right?
00:30Yeah, it's like him, Better Than Ezra guy, and then the guy from Tonic.
00:34The Tonic, if you could only see.
00:36That had to be just a set of bangers.
00:39No, they haven't played yet.
00:40They haven't played yet?
00:42I thought they did.
00:43No, no, no.
00:43Do you know how many albums that they've accumulatively sold together?
00:47Take a guess.
00:48All right.
00:49And then, let's play a game.
00:51All right, so the oldest one is probably Tonic.
00:53Yep.
00:54So probably late.
00:56How many albums do you think all together?
00:58I'm going to say 4 million.
01:03You say 4 million?
01:04Rob, what do you say?
01:064.5.
01:07No, no, no.
01:07All right, can I change?
01:08I don't know.
01:09You can change if you'd like to.
01:09I'm going to go 6.
01:10I'm going to go 6.
01:126 together.
01:13Oh, all combined.
01:15Combined.
01:15Oh.
01:16Combined.
01:16You say combined?
01:17I'm still going to say 6.
01:18I feel like it's got to be higher than that then, right?
01:21I don't know.
01:22We're playing the game.
01:23Just tell it.
01:2310 million.
01:2480 million.
01:24What?
01:2580 million.
01:26What?
01:26That's what they just told me.
01:29It goes 80 million.
01:31That's back when people bought music.
01:32I shouldn't have gone under there.
01:34I should have gone crazy.
01:35Yeah.
01:35I still would have been like 10.
01:37You would have never guessed.
01:38You would have never guessed, but isn't that the most-
01:40That's a lot of records.
01:40That's a lot of records.
01:41So you just met Mark McGrath.
01:43I told him so many stories.
01:45What happened?
01:46You don't care, Jordan.
01:47I do care.
01:48He grew up on it.
01:49We both.
01:50We did.
01:51The first time I ever crowd surfed was to sugar ratio to I just want to fly.
01:58He goes, so Mark McGrath is like, did you get thrown out of the stage or did you get
02:02hoisted up?
02:03I got hoisted up.
02:04He goes, still counts.
02:05I'm like, well, I'm not like you where I get to jump off the stage every day.
02:07As a fan, you have to get hoisted up.
02:10You got to get hoisted up.
02:11Have you ever crowd served?
02:12I have not.
02:13Do you want- Is it a bucket?
02:14Do you want to?
02:15It could happen today.
02:16It could happen.
02:17This could be the time.
02:18It could be the day.
02:19You know they're going to sing fly.
02:20I don't know, man.
02:21I feel like there's a lot of trust going into-
02:22Yeah.
02:23You got to trust that crowd.
02:24If you get into a pocket where maybe they're not fans, you're going down.
02:26Well, I will say-
02:27You're going down.
02:28Well, and also-
02:29This is the place to go down, Adam.
02:30Again, I was also like 21 years old and like 100 pounds.
02:34So I feel like that also helps a little bit.
02:36Yeah.
02:37As like a guy and you're going out into a crowd of like 18-year-old girls, I don't
02:42know if they're going to be able to hold you up.
02:44That's a risky-
02:45But if you want to do it, we could make it happen for you today at Tortuga.
02:48If this is what your heart's desire is.
02:50We can make dreams come true, yeah.
02:51I should just go dive and I feel like-
02:54I just see like people, me coming at them and them just being like-
02:56Well, you got to give them a warning.
02:57I feel like you got to go, hey, like, are you ready for this?
03:00I'm at the crowd, sir.
03:02We could do it.
03:03Slow dance in the parking lot, here we go.
03:05People are going to have to be really prepared for the muscle mass that you have.
03:09I saw you working out backstage, too.
03:11Well, I was like sore.
03:13So, last night I went to Orlando, sang a song with Rascal Flatts, which was awesome.
03:18But I had to wake up at like 3 a.m., missed some flights, so it was a long day.
03:23Didn't sleep great last night, so I finally told my guys, dude, I've got to do something.
03:27You did it.
03:28I did it.
03:29Hey, I showed up.
03:30I feel like you kind of just glossed over singing with Rascal Flatts a little bit.
03:34Can we go back to that?
03:35Well, I know.
03:36Well, you was on target of the topic.
03:37Yeah, yeah.
03:38Yeah, yeah.
03:39But that's kind of a big deal.
03:40It was awesome.
03:41I love those guys to death.
03:42Got to tour with them, I guess it's like five years ago now.
03:45And then it just worked out perfect that I was going to have an off day in Orlando before
03:48this and saw that they were there, reached out to them, and asked if I could come sing
03:52a song.
03:53Hold on.
03:54Wait a second.
03:55That just shows you like the power of Rascal Flatts.
03:56Because if a normal off day in Orlando, I'm thinking, let's go see the mouse.
04:01Let's go see Disney.
04:02Like, let's go to Mickey Mouse.
04:03And you're like, no, let's go see the boys of Rascal Flatts.
04:05I mean, I love them to death.
04:06They're great.
04:07I mean, just hit after hit, and it was a fun show.
04:11Yeah.
04:12But I saw the promo video for the tour.
04:15Oh, yeah, yeah.
04:16And I was like, how epic is it?
04:18Was it Jim Nance and Peyton Manning announcing?
04:22Which was crazy.
04:22Like, I never, you know, I had the idea to do like the, all right, I'm going to make
04:27fun of how bad of a golfer I am.
04:28Yeah.
04:29And then I was like, who could I get to make fun of me?
04:31Peyton's hilarious.
04:32He is.
04:32We all know that.
04:33So I asked him.
04:35But the Jim Nance thing, I was just like, dude, it'd be so cool if we could have Jim like
04:39kind of masters as this.
04:41And like two days later, my manager was like, hey, somehow somebody we know has an in, and
04:47Jim would love to do it.
04:49I was watching that on the way here.
04:50What's your favorite line from it?
04:52I was laughing out loud.
04:52Yeah.
04:53He said.
04:53What's your favorite burn of yourself?
04:56The best ones didn't make it, which was basically Peyton just like absolutely dogging me.
05:02But Jim had one that said, Peyton, I believe I've seen better swings than that on a porch.
05:07Yeah.
05:08I like that one.
05:08And Jim Nance's voice, I was like, that's hilarious.
05:10Are we going to, can we maybe try to push to put out the outtakes video at some point?
05:16I think we are.
05:17Okay.
05:17I didn't know if they were going to be appropriate for mass consumption, but.
05:20Well, the ones in Mitchell aren't, but.
05:22Yeah.
05:22No.
05:23No.
05:23There's a few that we'll probably have to edit.
05:25But when he.
05:26That's so exciting.
05:27When he was in the sand trap and he swung and threw the ball behind his back, I was like,
05:31that is.
05:32And he snapped that club.
05:34No, we didn't cut it.
05:35Nothing.
05:35He just like snapped it over his knee.
05:37Yeah.
05:38That's some.
05:38It was a lot of fun.
05:39You know, like we went out to Denver and shot that with Peyton, super grateful he wanted
05:43to be a part of it.
05:44But yeah, being in the studio with Jim, like doing his, like, I mean, that guy's a legend.
05:48So it was pretty cool.
05:49I feel like more comedy and more acting are in your future.
05:52I would do it.
05:53I really would.
05:54Like, I enjoy, like, I really like, my dream is to be in like a Western, like a shoot
06:01them up Western.
06:01But like, that's serious.
06:03That's not like usually funny.
06:04I know, but I don't have to say anything.
06:05I just want to really just get.
06:08You want a close up of like your, like, like a, like a squinty eye.
06:12Yeah.
06:12Like with a growl, maybe like.
06:14Yeah, like pull up on a horse and I don't have to say anything, but all of a sudden the
06:18good guy just, just blasts me.
06:20Right.
06:20Wait, do you know how to ride a horse for starters?
06:22Oh, you do.
06:23Yeah.
06:23All right.
06:23So you got it.
06:24I think I can do that.
06:25Now, falling off a horse, I'll probably have to work on, but.
06:28Have you never fallen off a horse before?
06:29Oh, no, I have.
06:30Okay.
06:30Yeah.
06:31I definitely have.
06:32We talked about this yesterday.
06:33You got to tuck and roll.
06:34Yeah.
06:35Yeah.
06:35Have you fallen on stage or off stage before?
06:37I have.
06:38Not a bad one.
06:40Yeah.
06:40But there's definitely been a spill.
06:43Luckily, it was during a guitar solo and the spotlight was on the guitar solo.
06:48So nobody like.
06:48I ate it on the other side of the stage.
06:50The front pit.
06:51Well, yeah.
06:52But.
06:53But on like the big screen.
06:54It wasn't on the big screen.
06:54I haven't seen it on socials yet.
06:56So that's good.
06:57So you're like, maybe no one.
06:58Maybe nobody.
06:59Doesn't even exist.
06:59I'm just waiting for the perfect time to just.
07:01Oh, don't worry.
07:02We're going to use this audio.
07:03We're going to find it.
07:04I'll probably fall tonight.
07:05No, it might not happen.
07:06Maybe not.
07:06Don't jinx yourself.
07:07It's a beautiful day.
07:08That can't happen.
07:09You're living the dream.
07:10This is perfect.
07:10That's true.
07:11That's true.
07:11That's true.
07:12How slippery are the boots, though, you think?
07:14I mean, they're slippery.
07:16These are a little slick, but that stage is good.
07:18Stage has got a lot of grip to it.
07:20Sure.
07:20So it's.
07:21I feel confident that I won't fall tonight.
07:23Do you have a hole in the bottom of your boot?
07:24What is going on?
07:25Do I really?
07:26Look at these.
07:27What?
07:27Oh, no.
07:28Oh, no.
07:30No.
07:30We need to get someone to re-sold these boots.
07:32We need a re-solder.
07:33I don't know.
07:34They've told me I can't re-sold these again.
07:36Why?
07:36I've just done it too many times.
07:39So how long have you had them?
07:40Oh, I'm sorry.
07:40What are the favorite?
07:41Okay, what are the boots?
07:42What are the name of the favorite boots that you have that you've literally worn out?
07:45These aren't my favorites.
07:46My new favorites are Wolverine.
07:48Okay.
07:49These are Tecovas.
07:50Okay.
07:51Is there a name for this?
07:53Like a brand name?
07:54Like a style name?
07:55Like a style?
07:56Yeah.
07:56I don't know.
07:57Oh.
07:58They look good.
07:59I love these boots.
08:01I'm so sorry.
08:02I don't mean to ruin that.
08:04I shouldn't.
08:04I'm sorry.
08:05I'm going to be wearing these on stage.
08:06Oh, that's so sad for me.
08:07I think it's fine.
08:08It's just a small hole.
08:09I've ruined Jordan Davis' life here today.
08:11It's not a big deal.
08:12You're good.
08:12I ate out the soles.
08:13We were living the dream until we weren't.
08:15I ate out the soles of my boots once while I was cleaning a carburetor on my dirt bike
08:20and I was using it.
08:21Oh, yeah.
08:21That sounds very manly.
08:22It was all on the floor.
08:24I didn't realize it.
08:24I'm stepping all in this carb cleaner crap and it literally just ate a hole through my boots.
08:29Yep.
08:30That's what'll happen.
08:31You're doing man stuff.
08:32Yeah.
08:32What song?
08:33Wait, real quick before we go.
08:35What song do you think?
08:36I know you mentioned as a joke, slow dance in a parking lot for crowd surfing.
08:40What song of yours do you think actually fits?
08:43Could someone crowd surf?
08:44Would you like someone if it was legal to crowd surf?
08:48One of my world spins around.
08:49Yeah.
08:49Oh, that would be good.
08:50People could be spinning people up in the air.
08:52Wee!
08:53Wait, what about when you're doing, are you still doing the mashup with Mary Jane's Last
08:58Dance in the...
08:59Oh, no.
09:00We don't do that one anymore.
09:01Okay.
09:01That would be a good one.
09:01I like that, though.
09:02What did you replace with?
09:03We're doing a cover set tonight.
09:04Okay.
09:04Oh, no.
09:06Oh, no.
09:06We're doing a Sum 41 song.
09:09Nice.
09:09That's great.
09:10That would be good.
09:10Okay.
09:11That would be good.
09:11Let's get out there and check it out.
09:12Jordan Davis, thank you so much for joining us.
09:14Thank you so much.
