00:00Rolling.
00:01Hey, what's up?
00:02It's your kicks wake up.
00:03Crew, Dub, Cody.
00:04I mean, I was going to introduce this guy, but y'all already know.
00:09Especially if you're looking at it.
00:11Our man Jelly Roll.
00:13What's up, dude?
00:14Incredible, man.
00:15Had a beautiful Sunday afternoon drive down here.
00:17Atlanta traffic wasn't as bad as normal, so it was pretty smooth.
00:21I felt like I cheated something.
00:23I was like, is there a Falcons game going on in the middle of the spring or something?
00:26Any time you can get through Atlanta without East and West being both locked down.
00:31I could not believe it, dude.
00:32I mean, it was pretty smooth.
00:33For sure.
00:34I love it.
00:35I love it.
00:36Alright, so how's the New Year's resolution going?
00:39You talked about...
00:40The no phone part of the resolution is going good.
00:43Okay.
00:44The weight loss is up and down.
00:45So I haven't told nobody this.
00:47This is an exclusive.
00:48I wanted to see if I could take a few months of not drinking for the first time in my adult
00:54life.
00:55And I thought, well, hell, I bet I'm going to lose a lot of weight just by not drinking,
00:59you know?
01:00Yeah.
01:01It turns out for me, it was more like the people that quit smoking cigarettes, you know,
01:03when they struggle.
01:04They just...
01:05Yeah.
01:06Yeah.
01:07So it's been really kind of hard on me.
01:08I mean, I can't believe I have to say this, but I might just have to start drinking.
01:11You know?
01:12I mean, God, man.
01:13It wasn't my plan.
01:14What a terrible plan.
01:15It wasn't my idea.
01:16You know, but for my health, I might have to drink.
01:19No, but...
01:20Things were going good until he got on the Tito's diet.
01:22Yeah.
01:23So you still don't use your phone?
01:25No, I'm not.
01:26I'm not doing the phone at all, man.
01:27I took social media off my phone.
01:28I've never been more disconnected.
01:30Apparently, the banks imploded last week or something.
01:34It's supposed to be national news.
01:35Completely missed it.
01:36Love it.
01:37I called my accountant and was just asking about a loan on the house for a house that we're
01:40trying to close on.
01:41And he was like, you don't know what's going on, do you?
01:43I was like, absolutely not.
01:45Yeah, I've been around friends that just released albums, was clueless.
01:48Love it.
01:49I mean, just have...
01:50It's been so awesome.
01:51I love it.
01:52Yeah.
01:53It's like, I feel like a normal person again.
01:54Like, I have no clue what is going on anywhere, ever.
01:57I love it.
01:58So, one of the things I love, being a dad of a daughter, a little baby girl, I read
02:03this and I thought it was so cool that your daughter didn't think you were famous until
02:08you started doing country music.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Right?
02:11That was about it, man.
02:12Let's talk about that.
02:13Because she goes to a really rural school, you know?
02:15Yeah.
02:16So, it was kind of like, that's when it started, she started getting it then.
02:19Because, you know, they're all big Bailey Zimmerman fans.
02:21Oh, yeah.
02:22Morgan Wallen fans.
02:23My daughter's like every other 15-year-old kid in America right now.
02:27Earth, really.
02:28Morgan just sold out in Australia last night.
02:31So, yeah.
02:32That's when she was like, oh no, this is a big deal.
02:34And then when we went to the play, we headlined Bridgestone Arena this year.
02:36Right.
02:37And that's when she was like, oh, this is big deal.
02:39I've been taking her there to go see Shrek on Ice or Disney on Ice or the Princess Tales
02:44or whatever.
02:45Sure.
02:46Whatever gimmick they were selling her that summer.
02:47Right.
02:48You know, her whole life.
02:49You know what I mean?
02:50Sure.
02:51She was like, oh no, this is a big deal.
02:52It's where the Predators play.
02:53Yeah.
02:54That's how she looked at it.
02:55That's a big deal.
02:56She's like, Dad, do you know Morgan Wallen?
02:57Yeah.
02:58Yeah.
02:59For sure.
03:00Absolutely.
03:01So, another thing I want to ask you is, so our daughter's six months old.
03:04So, we're fresh on this whole journey.
03:06Oh, dude.
03:07It's not even.
03:08In fact, you're going through the worst of it.
03:10Anybody who tells you any different is lying.
03:13They're trying to make you feel better.
03:15This is the worst.
03:16You are in the Vietnam of children right now.
03:20This is bad.
03:21You're right.
03:22It's coming from all angles.
03:23Yeah.
03:24But give me a tip on raising girls.
03:25Oh.
03:26You've been there.
03:27You're a seasoned veteran.
03:28Listen.
03:29You need tips.
03:30I hate to say this.
03:31We need to find a way to get your wife tips because she's going to love you.
03:33Yeah.
03:34Y'all are going to be okay.
03:35The problem is she's going to get hormonal one day and get catty with her.
03:38You know what I'm saying?
03:39But you're going to be the one who's stuck in the middle of that story.
03:41That's right.
03:42That's how it works.
03:43That's right.
03:44I'm going to say that six months is a bad part.
03:46I have a 13-year-old stepdaughter.
03:47Yes.
03:48Woo.
03:49Oh, dude.
03:50Mine's 14.
03:51I think it's the coolest age yet.
03:52She got a little.
03:53Oh, yeah.
03:54Dad, daughter.
03:55Yeah.
03:56Oh, so you got a good girl.
03:57Exactly.
03:58I'm telling you, dude, they just get meow.
03:59It turns into it.
04:00It's just like it's women's natural thing.
04:02It's like when two dogs snip each other in the yard.
04:04It starts happening at a certain age in that house.
04:07And let me tell you, it's really weird for the neighbors when my daughter and my wife do
04:11that in the yard.
04:12Yeah, yeah.
04:13That's my wife.
04:14Everybody stops.
04:15What's happening over there?
04:16That's right.
04:17People are driving by a real slow-go and all the accidents are just out there in the yard
04:18again.
04:19There's that Morna Radio guy.
04:20That's right.
04:21That's right.
04:22You and Morna Radio messed up.
04:23Can y'all move out of the neighborhood?
04:24You're really starting to freak everybody out.
04:25You're bringing the property value down.
04:26That's right.
04:27All right.
04:28So, I know you don't do a lot of social media, but is there a TV show that you're really
04:31obsessed with?
04:32Will Trent.
04:33Everybody picks on me about it.
04:34You know, he was in the Georgia Bureau of Investigative.
04:37Y'all aren't hip to this.
04:38I'm sorry.
04:39I know what you're talking about.
04:40It's a show on ABC, right?
04:42Listen, it is corny ABC television program at its finest, and I love it.
04:46Okay.
04:47It reminds me of my childhood.
04:48I'm here for it.
04:49Now I've got something else to check out.
04:51But it's about a book.
04:52It's like based on a book I never read.
04:54Yeah.
04:55But I will tell you the best TV show on network television, and people aren't going
04:58to like what I'm finna say, but this is real.
05:00The BMF.
05:01The Black Mafia Family Show.
05:03Okay.
05:04Dude, this show is The Sopranos for this generation.
05:07Okay.
05:08It is mind blowing.
05:10It is gagging.
05:11Do not watch it.
05:12Not family friendly.
05:13Not family friendly.
05:15There's our display.
05:16Say that in the microphone.
05:17Not family friendly.
05:18But man, if you want to watch that just...
05:20Yeah.
05:21I mean, then it's The Sopranos.
05:22I love it.
05:23So on the show earlier this week, we asked our listeners this question.
05:27We want to ask you the same question.
05:28So say somebody walks up to you and hands you a book.
05:31And in that book is everything that anybody has ever said about you behind your back.
05:36Now, not to your face, but behind your back, right?
05:39Family, friends, associates, exes, all that stuff.
05:42You have two choices.
05:43You can either read all of the comments, but you have to read them to begin to the end.
05:47You can't stop.
05:48Or you read none of the comments.
05:50Which one do you pick?
05:52Ooh, God.
05:53What a...
05:54Y'all are asking people this in the morning?
05:56Yeah.
05:57Yeah.
05:58Let's get fired up on the way to work.
05:59Before 8 a.m.
06:00Yeah.
06:01You got me thinking about every scandal in my life.
06:03Yeah.
06:04So again, once you start reading, you can't stop.
06:06I'm passing, dude.
06:07I'm not doing it.
06:08No comments.
06:09Yeah, I'm not doing it.
06:10I'm the same way.
06:11You said the same thing.
06:12I think it would just destroy me.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Well, I'm also the guy that don't read comments much anyways.
06:16Yeah.
06:17Yeah.
06:18You know, I'd look for love, though.
06:19So that's...
06:20I think I probably wouldn't do that because I had to take a stance early in my career
06:23if I was going to be motivated by hate or love.
06:26Sure.
06:27And artists, when you get motivated by that hate stuff, man, it's just a bad spirit to move
06:31in.
06:32Right.
06:33It fuels your fire correctly.
06:34It's just not the compass in which I want to live my life.
06:37Amen.
06:38So I don't look for that negative stuff anyways, man.
06:39Show me six.
06:40Give me...
06:41You know, I'd rather just two pages of somebody saying something good about me they never
06:44said to me.
06:45Amen.
06:46Yeah.
06:47That'd be way cooler than, you know, a whole book of bad stuff.
06:48I wish everybody in my life would just write me a page, even if it's bad.
06:51Yeah.
06:52Write me a page and tell me how you feel.
06:53So there we go.
06:54You don't feel good telling me in person?
06:55Write jelly some nice stuff on the air.
06:56There we go.
06:57Leave me a good comment, y'all.
06:58Prove me wrong.
06:59That's right.
07:00That's right.
07:01So we've been asking all of our artists this.
07:04What is the first thing you bought when you got like that first big payday?
07:08Like the first thing.
07:09Like when that first big check hit.
07:11Man, I'll tell y'all, my career was built so different than most artists in my town
07:16that I had to build this thing one brick at a time.
07:19So I literally had to watch the checks go from $1 to $7 to $17 to...so when it grows
07:25at that rate, you never have a moment where it's like that like, oh, I signed to Sony
07:30and got 30 grand and bought a truck.
07:32Right.
07:33Or something.
07:34You know, because I was so busy building the business that way.
07:37But I can probably say the first time I knew I had enough money to buy what I wanted or
07:41something crazy is when I bought a 1971 Cadillac and I took the top off.
07:46I made it a permanent convertible.
07:48That thing is slick, smooth, city steel, dude.
07:51It's the one you'll see on the YouTube I pulled up on the CMA red carpet.
07:54Okay.
07:55There we go.
07:56So now we know when you see that on the C&T red carpet, that's the first big purchase
08:00that our boy, Dylan Rollman had.
08:02That's the first one I made that I felt like, you know, that's crazy.
08:05When you could buy just a car to just have when you want to drive it, that's different
08:10kind of crazy right there.
08:11I love that.
08:12I'm from a place where nobody could afford a car at all.
08:14Yeah.
08:15You had a bunch of people that was waiting on tax money to come in and try to go get a car.
08:19Yeah.
08:20And half of them never made it to the car lot because some other white trans person
08:23in the neighborhood promised they could flip their money and they'd run around doing these
08:26scams.
08:27You know what I'm saying?
08:28We got some parts of kids' country.
08:30There's some parts of kids' country you're talking about.
08:32Listen, I just touched people's soul.
08:34Yeah.
08:35Somebody heard that and said, the church said amen.
08:37Amen.
08:38There are people that grew up that poor in life and I was one of them.
08:40And I'm telling you, dude, it's crazy.
08:42So when I got to buy a bonus car, I was like, oh, I just get a whole second car now.
08:46You know what I'm saying?
08:47Yeah.
08:48Just like when I want to look cool car?
08:50Yeah.
08:51Yeah.
08:52So that was probably the first time I was like, yeah, I'm more compensated than I probably
08:56deserve it.
08:57I love that.
08:58Hey, Jelly, dude, thank you so much.
08:59Thank you all for the time.
09:00Sorry there's a miscommunication.
09:01I was just on the bus smoking some Willie.
09:04I thought I was down until the show.
09:06I got to get my head right for the show, man.
09:08Hey, you're good, man.
09:09We appreciate you hanging with us and taking some time.
09:11We're so excited about the show.
09:12Thank y'all.
09:13Thank y'all.
09:14From listening out there, I appreciate y'all.
09:16Y'all made Son of a Sinner my number one song on country radio.
09:19We also got this new record out right now called Jelly Roll.
09:22Need a favor.
09:23Check it out if you have it.
09:24Appreciate y'all letting me plug that.
09:25I have no pride.
09:26Hey, we got the brand new album coming out in June.
09:29We got the brand new album coming out.
09:30I'm allowed to finally talk about it.
09:31It's been such a secret in my life.
09:33June 2nd, Whitsitt Chapel, my debut country album is coming out.
09:36I'm fired cleaning up about it.
09:38And I don't know when y'all are going to post this.
09:40Tomorrow.
09:41But if you want to go to cmt.com and vote for me, I'm nominated for something, y'all.
09:44Listen, I ain't never been nominated for anything, dude.
09:46I'd have took a bad award.
09:47They could have called me the goofball of the year and I'd have showed up with a tuxedo.
09:51It's a big deal, man.
09:52So if y'all want to take the time to go vote for me, like I said, I'll have no pride asking.
09:56Please take the time.
09:57There we go.
09:58Can you guys make your vote for Jelly Roll CFT Awards and thank you so much for hanging
10:02with us.
10:03Yes, sir.
10:04Appreciate y'all.
10:06Boom!
