00:00Jeff, Justin, and George Burge featuring some beaver nugs.
00:04Take your picture.
00:05See, they couldn't keep me out of these.
00:08Oh, wait, one more, one more, one more, one more, one more, one more.
00:10Ready, here we go.
00:11Ready, second time.
00:13Oh, shoot.
00:16There you go.
00:17He nailed it.
00:17They're so good.
00:18We've never been the Buc-ee's before, so this is like a must get.
00:21But these are so good, you can't waste three.
00:23Two was the max waste.
00:24No, you can't waste.
00:25So, George Burge, big, big, exciting breaking news.
00:28You and I just became Facebook friends.
00:31Let's go.
00:32Let's go.
00:32The world is complete.
00:34You were literally, last night you were on my suggested friends, you know, scrolling through your feed.
00:39And I'm like, George Burge ad friend.
00:42And immediately responded.
00:43So, I don't know if that's you or your people.
00:44I didn't want to be the one to ask first.
00:46I didn't want to, I was self-conscious about that.
00:48But once you asked, I was literally, I had been waiting.
00:50Literally.
00:51The second it came through, I was like, let's go.
00:53Me and this guy are in the same hotel room.
00:55So, I'm like, I'm about to be George Burge's Facebook friend.
00:58It's crazy.
00:59You're just a lot of responsibility.
01:01Well, that's why I accepted, right?
01:02Yeah.
01:02Yeah.
01:03And then I went back to 2014 and liked some photos because it was like midnight.
01:06That's what you do.
01:07Anyway.
01:07So, let's talk about Mind On You.
01:09Speaking of Mind On You, right?
01:11Let's go.
01:11100%.
01:12Dude, this song, to say what the kids are saying, this song slaps.
01:16Isn't that like a thing?
01:17Anytime I hear it when we're playing, listen, we work in radio.
01:19So, we're constantly hearing the music around us.
01:22When I hear it, I just go, no, no, no, no.
01:24And turn that up in the studio.
01:26I love it.
01:26Because I love it.
01:27It's got such a good hook.
01:28It's catchy.
01:28It's changing my life, man.
01:30It's one of those things.
01:31I had nothing going on when I put this song out.
01:33And it's just opened every door for me.
01:35It's kind of been the little song that could.
01:37And, you know, it started by getting me a record deal and then got me on some tours.
01:40And then it got on the radio.
01:41And then my first top 40, 30, 20, and now a top 10 this week.
01:45It's just one of those things.
01:46Like, it's completely changed my life.
01:48I mean, this is my first CMA.
01:49Is I going to go walk a red carpet tomorrow?
01:51I don't even know.
01:52Well, what are we wearing?
01:53Y'all tell me what to do with my hands out there.
01:55You're going to be like this.
01:56George, put your hands down, please.
01:57George, hands down.
01:59Do you have the fit ready for the red carpet?
02:01I do.
02:01I have a pretty mean fit for the red carpet.
02:03You can say a little bit.
02:04I know you probably don't want to reveal any of it.
02:06Well, Sokova sent me some boots and a matching belt.
02:09Let's go.
02:09That's fresh.
02:10I mean, even to be able to say they sent me something, I'm like, yeah, yeah.
02:12That feels pretty good.
02:13And then we got a black suit and a cowboy hat to keep it a little bit Texas.
02:18I love it.
02:19I love it.
02:19Well, also, a lot of people might know the song Mind On You, but they might not know that's
02:23the title track to the album that you helped co-write a lot of this new album.
02:27So when you look up Mind On You to learn more, don't just go to the single.
02:31Go to the album because you learn so much about an artist.
02:33What does the album speak to?
02:34I'm so proud of that album.
02:36You know, an album is typically a lifetime of work.
02:38And so getting to put all those songs together, just my sound and what it means to me and
02:42stories of what I've been through and what I'm going through and where I'm at in life.
02:46And it's just all super true to me.
02:48I co-wrote nine of the ten songs on it.
02:50And so it's something I'm super, super proud of.
02:53And to have it come into light and people getting to dig into it and connect with it,
02:57it's the best feeling in the world.
02:59And I have to point a few things out to get to know George a little bit more.
03:02He does have an eagle on his shirt.
03:05So fresh.
03:05And he also went to the same high school as Nick Foles, the biggest legend in Philadelphia
03:08history.
03:09Let's go.
03:09Let's go.
03:10He's a Texas guy.
03:11Yeah, yeah.
03:11We'll talk about him being Texas.
03:12That was the one time I voted for the Eagles.
03:14The one time.
03:15That was it.
03:15That was it.
03:16It's because I know he's also a Cowboys fan, right?
03:18All right, all right.
03:19We'll take it as the one.
03:20It's okay.
03:21He's a hometown boy in that sense.
03:22You've got to root for the alma mater.
03:24I actually, I didn't even think about that.
03:26I'm wearing this shirt after the Eagles just did what they did to the Cowboys.
03:29Y'all, I'm going to have to go do a wardrobe change after this interview.
03:32Don't worry.
03:33We let Chris Young hear it a lot yesterday.
03:35Did you?
03:35Yeah.
03:36That one hurt our feet.
03:37Because it was supposed to be our year like it is supposed to be every year.
03:40But, you know, we'll get there.
03:42Have some nuggets to make you feel better.
03:43We're going to drown our pain right here.
03:48We're going to drown our pain right here.
