Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hey Bob, how you doing,Tim? Hanging in there? Tim McGraw,
We're looking forward to seeing you atCFG Bank Arena June twenty First,
you have forty seven number one hits? How do you create a set list
at this point? You have thesuper hits obviously, but do you look
back at the last tour switch themout? How do you pick? And
are you the only one who picks? Well, I certainly get input from

(00:20):
everybody at my band, and youknow people around me. I get input.
It's tough to do, for sure, and you always know that there's
always going to be somebody that didn'tget to hear their favorite song because you
just don't have time to play everything. You know, you probably get twenty
songs in a show, and wejust try to create the sort of cinematic
atmosphere and theatrical sort of show foreverybody to have fun and get lost in.

(00:42):
This year, we're going back andplaying some songs we haven't played in
gosh, seven or eight years.Maybe some songs people have forgotten about that
we're number one. We're going backand playing what are your top two favorite
Tim McGraw songs. They don't haveto be radio hits. I'm just curious.
A song called friend of a Friendthat was only two lanes of Freedom
to think album has always been oneof my favorites Kill Myself. I forget

(01:03):
which album that was on. Mostof my favorite songs are usually songs that
weren't singles. I like the deepcuts. There's a lot of them that
I like. A song called Stillon the Line, it's one of my
favorites. I figure what album thatwas on A few albums back. I'm
going to look all of these up. Look, I'm a workout guy too.
Every day on your tour and inyour life, are you still doing
the heavy crossfits style heavy workouts?Yeah, I'm trying to. Yeah,

(01:25):
I mean I don't know if it'severy day. I try to take at
least one day a week off.Sometimes I don't, but yeah, I
mean it's just part of my routinenow and part of my life. Especially
when I'm touring. There's no waythat I could go on stage without doing
a workout first, and the bandfeels the same way. We always talk
about it. When days come whichare rare on the road where we don't
get a chance to get a workat them, we feel like our show

(01:45):
is not the same. We don'thave the same energy. We don't have
the same drive and endorphins that wedo when we get a work out in.
So is that the goal? Theendorphins conditionings thing? Lean and fit?
Or do you try to put muscleon or I don't like to get
bulky. So I like to tryto stay as lean as I can because
I got to cover a lot ofterritory on that stage. I don't want
to weigh myself down too much.What music do you work out to?

(02:07):
You know, believe it or not. I don't work out to music because
it messes me up counting because Istart counting the music and then I lose
count of how many reps I've done. I'm not smart enough to do both
at one time. It's usually justnews or something like that I have on
OTHERDT. Hey real quick, whatis up with Taylor Sheridan? Man?
I'm sorry, I know this isabout you, but this guy? Is

(02:27):
he the new David E. Kellyor Aaron Sorkin? How is he pushing
out so many heads? He's justso talented. He's just a very gifted
writer, you know what I mean. He's got all this stuff going on
in his brain, and I don'tknow how he finds the time to write
all this stuff and get it out, but he does. I tell you,
when we first read the eighteen eightythree script, we were blown away.
When we were reading it, Faithand I would read the script each

(02:49):
episode that we would get in.We would lay in bed and read the
whole episode each other and take turns. We never read lines back and forth
together. We would just read anentire episode to each other and we were
just blown away by the rioting.It was just incredible. It is.
I mean, all his shows aregreat. I mean Mayor of Kingston.
Have you seen that? That's notreally a cowboy show, but incredible seeing
some of that Landman's coming out thatlooks really good. Billy Bob's going to

(03:12):
be in, but Mary Kingstown's greatand everything he puts out, everything he's
touching, is turning the gold.Did you go after that role or did
he come to you in faith initially? Or at first? He called you
know, he called in one ofus wanted me to do something in a
Yellowstone and I told him I didn'twant to just be a cowboy that gets
taken to the train station. Andhe said give me a couple of weeks
and I'll come up with an idea. And he came up with the idea

(03:35):
of doing the flashback of being theoriginal Dutton to find the thing. And
then he said to he he's goingto have a wife. Do you think
Faith would do it? And Iasked her and she said yes, and
so we thought. Spent two weeksin Montana shooting this thing, and a
couple of months later, Taylor calledme and said he showed the flashback scenes
to the studio and they want todo a whole series on it. And
that's how it happened. That's awesome, Tim mc graw. We'll see it
June twenty. First, I gotto let you go. Thanks for the
time. Thank you man. Goodtalking to you.
