00:00Ladies and gentlemen, on the phone right now is a duo that are Grammy winners, ACM winners, CMA winners, American Music Award winners.
00:06They've won it all.
00:07Everything.
00:08Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, Dan and Shane.
00:09Dan and Shane.
00:11Hello.
00:12What's happening, guys?
00:13Not too much, man.
00:14Just hanging out here in Tampa.
00:15And I appreciate you so much dropping this song on my birthday, this song called You.
00:21It's very nice of you.
00:22Is it your birthday today?
00:22Is it your birthday today?
00:23What was yesterday, but how could you forget?
00:25Happy birthday.
00:27Yeah.
00:27Come on, dude.
00:28Dan, you can cheat, by the way, too.
00:30We're Facebook friends.
00:31I should have told you.
00:32I know.
00:33Honestly, I would have definitely texted you.
00:35I look at it like, you know, around lunchtime when I'm hanging out.
00:37I always scroll there and just see whose birthday it is.
00:39Right.
00:39I definitely would have hollered at you.
00:40I'm still going to do that anyways.
00:41All right.
00:42Very cool.
00:42Don't worry about it.
00:43Don't worry about it, Shay.
00:44I don't expect anything.
00:46I'll do a photo shoot for you.
00:47A photo shoot for me.
00:49Thank you so much.
00:49A photo shoot.
00:50Well, boys, not only do you get a song out called You, we have been just crushing this Kenny Chesney tour,
00:55and I know everybody's been asking you about it.
00:57But what is something you didn't expect about this tour that you're like, oh, my gosh,
01:02this is different than any tour I've ever been on?
01:04It's all been downhill since Tampa, by the way.
01:06First show of the tour, set the bar high.
01:08It's all been downhill.
01:09No, it's been incredible, man.
01:10Honestly, Kenny's crew is unbelievable.
01:13They've been doing it for so long, and they've got the setup dialed.
01:15They've got, like, a bar on stage.
01:17You know, going on stage in front of a stadium, you would expect, like, uptight, high-pressure kind of thing.
01:21His crew, they're back there flipping burgers, mixing drinks, like, taking shots before the show.
01:26It's a whole vibe, man.
01:27It's like summer camp out there, and there's a reason why people love being out on the road with Kenny.
01:32He treats them great, and it's just such a fun time every weekend.
01:35We're on, like, the easiest summer schedule ever, one show a week, and then we come back to Nashville and hang out.
01:40So it's been a blast, and I'm going to be really sad when it's over.
01:43We're nearing the end.
01:45The last show is the end of August, and, yeah, man, I'm getting a little sad already.
01:49Well, you guys definitely kicked it off here at Ray J, and let me ask Shay something.
01:53Shay, as far as, like, singing in a stadium versus, like, an arena that you guys do, is that harder for you or harder for you guys?
01:59Like, acoustically, I'm talking about.
02:01Yeah, I mean, it's definitely different depending on what, you know, what stadium you're playing.
02:05A lot of these have been, a couple of them have been kind of inside stadiums, which is kind of nuts,
02:09because, I mean, you can hear yourself seven seconds later, you're hearing what you're saying and singing.
02:14So it can definitely be a challenge.
02:15Some of those places are so big that the sound just kind of swirls around.
02:19So I know you guys are pretty good friends with J.R.
02:21I'm just filling in for Lana this week, and this is the first week J.R. and I have actually ever worked together.
02:27So do you have any good stories about J.R. that I need to know about?
02:30Oh, my goodness.
02:31You could probably just search our name and his name together on YouTube and find some pretty good stuff.
02:35We go way back with J.R.
02:37Tailgater.
02:38We actually used that photo to promote this interview.
02:46Amazing.
02:47We went through a McDonald's drive-thru once, and, yeah, we did something crazy.
02:51You can ask J.R. about that.
02:52Yeah, we did a thing called coning, where they hand a cone to you, and then you just grab it from the top of the cone.
02:57There you go.
02:58Thank you very much.
02:59You make zero, you don't say anything to them.
03:01You just grab it, and you just move along.
03:02That was interesting.
03:04Did we do that just for fun?
03:05I feel like it wasn't even like a bit to get content on social media.
03:08We just did it.
03:09We did film it, but it was not planned.
03:14We were singing songs or whatever, and then all of a sudden you're like, hey, let's go through McDonald's and do some coning.
03:18And I had no idea what it was.
03:20And so we did it.
03:21And then Shay ate the thing afterwards.
03:25I'll tell you what.
03:26It was delicious.
03:26You spent 99 cents on a cone.
03:27You're not going to let that thing go to work.
03:28You're not going to waste this.
03:29Yeah, do it.
03:30Well, boys, you absolutely crushed it when we saw you here at Ray J.
03:33You guys continue to crush it, and that's why you guys get voted the duo of the year many times over.
03:38The new song is called You.
03:40Thank you for doing it on my birthday.
03:41I appreciate you guys, and you guys have a great time.
03:43I can't wait to see you soon.
03:45I love you guys, man.
03:46Happy birthday, brother.
03:46I will text you here in a little bit once I see it on Facebook and make sure you're not lying to us.
03:52Love to you and the family, guys.
03:53See you.
03:53See you, bud.
03:54See you, bud.
