Jon Pardi (ACM Award nod) OC: …forward to it. :33
“Getting nominated is amazing. It’s a great feeling. I stuck to being myself and who I wanted to be and not changing and to be recognized for that is, it’s awesome. It’s a great feeling. I’ve been to the ACMs about five times, so I’m really looking forward to this one. It’s always a good time. I’d just like to thank everybody that voted and the fans, and all my colleagues in the music business and artists, and it’s just gonna be a good party. It always is. I’m looking forward to it.”

Jon Pardi (ACM Award nod) 2 OC: …awesome. :07
“When I found out I was nominated, I was sleeping and I woke up to about 30 texts. So, you could say it was a good morning. It was awesome.”

Dierks Bentley (WTH Tour) OC: …Jon and Cole. 1:11
“This is going to be such a fun tour. I meant that’s the reason why I call it the What the Hell Tour, because both these guys are so fun. I’ve known ‘em now for a long time. I men, I’ve known Cole since he was selling T-shirts for Luke. I always tell this story, but I have Cole’s name in my phone, his name is C-O-L-E, but I have as C-O-A-L, because when I met him, I didn’t know how to spell his name. It was just Coal. I’ve kept it that way. I’ve known him that long, and to watch the success he’s had, he loves it, man. His heart is into what he’s doing. He’s so grateful and thankful and is making great records. He’s going out there and his live show is so good. I mean, he really has a great live show. You can tell he’s been watching other people’s stuff and also implementing his own ideas. It’s just gonna be fun! And then Jon Pardi is  just that. He is a party. He is a big voice, big personality, down-to-earth, but at the same time he’s not afraid to bust on ya and give ya some crap, and he has some hit songs. The song he has out now, which I was so thankful he made a single – ‘Dirt on My Boots’ is such a good song. It’s traditional, but still kind of leans forward and has a modern sound to it and his voice is so good on it. His whole record is so good. So, yeah, it’s gonna be that kind of tour. What the Hell is the perfect name for this tour with Jon and Cole.”

Brothers Osborne (New Year) OC: (TJ) …next month. :44
JOHN: “I think it’s kind of funny how we spend literally the last moment and the very first moment of every year being extremely intoxicated, extremely, because you don’t want to wait until like 12:30 to get your buzz on. You’ve got to do it before midnight, and then once midnight happens, you’re like, ‘Omigod! Now it’s time to celebrate even more.’ Debauchery is the literally bookending your entire year.” TJ: “I love how everyone starts the year off with diets and then we end the year with like excessive amounts of food. And then you get to the end of the year, you’re like, ‘Oh, I’m going to start a diet on the 1st, so I’m going to eat everything that’s in front of me.’ I love it.” JOHN: “And come February 1st, ‘what diet?’” [laughs] TJ: “What diet? I’ll start it next month.” [laughs]

Brothers Osborne (hangover cure) OC: …of the year. :07
“Usually drinking more. I mean, a little hair of the dog never hurt anybody. Plus, it’s the first of the year.”

Canaan Smith (no hangover cure) OC: …long, you know? :32
“There is no hangover cure. The older I get I’m like, ‘Oh God! What am I thinking?’ It’s terrible. Hangovers are awful. Tequila’s the worst. I try to stay away from Tequila, because it hurts me bad. I used to be a whiskey guy. I still am every now and then, but of late, I’m domestic, American beer, just something light and tasty. Shots are my worst enemy. When I start working shots into the picture, that’s when I know I’m gonna hurt the next morning. I just try to keep it the same, whether it’s whiskey or beer or whatever, I just stick with that same drink the whole night long, you know?”

Clare Dunn (hangover cure) OC: …hangover cure. :10
“Greasy food is always kind of a, you can let it go for one day before you start all your resolutions [laughs] after that. So, that’s probably my best hangover cure.”

Dierks (NYE) OC: …for that. :10
“I think January first is universally accepted as a dog. So I mean, a little hair of the dog, I guess. But just…water and stay on the couch, I guess. There’s no real sure-fire cure for that.”

Dierks Bentley (New Year’s) OC: …in stride. 1:11
“New Year’s is rough. New Year’s hurts no matter what’s going o n. I’ve played a lot of New Year’s shows, you know, but I’ve honestly found that it’s not my favorite night to throw down. Look, for a living, that’s what I do. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, I host a big party; not only on stage, but I’ve got friends backstage. It starts before the concert sometimes, [and] it goes long after the concert, so a lot of times on New Year’s, I’m looking for a really mellow hang – a good party, good friends, pretty chill. Some of my best New Year’s – it doesn’t make for great radio – but some of my best New Year’s have been just like actually hearing fireworks go off while I’m in bed, [laughs] and know I’m gonna wake up the next morning for the first day of the New Year feeling great, feeling recharged and I’m ready to go ad go into the New Year feeling good as opposed to going into it with a giant Jagerbomb hangover, which I’ve done many, many times. So, the goal this year is to go into it feeling pretty good and the kids help with that, because you really just don’t want to be hungover with children. It’s not a good feeling. You would probably admit to any crime to get them, just feel better, and get them leave you alone. So, [I’m] gonna try to hit New Year’s this year in stride.”

Eric Church (hangover cure) OC: …every time. :17
“The best hangover cure – I’ve got two. One is 5-hour Energy [bottles], because of all the B-vitamins that are in it. You can start pounding those, and it’s either gonna work, or it’s gonna keep you up and prolong your misery. But the other one I have is just take two Advil and a beer in the morning. Hair of the dog, man – that works every time.”

Jon Pardi (hangover cure) OC: …deal with it. :20
“My hangover cure is Bloody Marys, but be careful – because once you have a couple, don’t go to beer, because if you go to beer, you’re gonna start drinking again and you’ll end up a morning drunk. OR if you want to go the non-alcoholic route, there’s nothing you can do for hangovers. [laughs] You just go deal with it.”

Kacey Musgraves (hangover cure) OC: …water. Yup! :32
“Coconut water is a major help with hangovers and also, a lot of times we go and eat Vietnamese fuh. It’s a soup, and it’s got this awesome broth. You can get different things in it or whatever, but for some reason, it’s just like…it’s almost like a chicken noodle soup kind of an idea, you know, but it’s good. That’s good for hangovers too. That, sleep, Tylenol, coconut water and just water, in general. And when you’re drinking, have your alcohol, drink a little bit of water, drink some more alcohol, drink some water. Yup!”

Kacey Musgraves (favorite hangover cure) OC: …as bad. :11
Oh actually, though, my favorite hangover cure is right before you go to bed, no matter how trashed you are, literally just chug an entire glass of water, and then when you wake up, it’s not as bad.”

Kip Moore (avoiding hangovers on NYE) OC: …yourself. :03
“Pace yourself on New Year’s – that’s the remedy. Pace yourself.”

Luke Bryan (New Years-best) OC: …great night. :17
“My best New Year’s Eve is definitely when my wife and I started back dating. We started back dating right before Christmas, and we went on a trip down to Florida and met some friends. And her birthday is New Year’s Eve. We celebrated it that night. It was just a great night.”

“Hey! This is TJ, and I’m John, and we are Brothers Osborne. Happy New Year.”

“Hey, what’s up guys? I’m Canaan Smith, wishing you a Happy New Year.”

Jon Pardi (Christmas 2016) OC: …at night. [laughs] :58
“Well, this Christmas I was so worn-out from traveling that I wanted to stay home, and I haven’t spent a Christmas morning with my Dad in a while, so I brought it up and he got so excited. I had to tell my Mom I’m not coming home. My Mom and Dad are separated. But we’re gonna have Christmas dinner and a party. We’ve got a bunch of friends if they don’t have a place to go, they can come to my house and have dinner. Before Christmas, me and my dad, we’re gonna build a bunch of stuff, as usual. We’ve got some stuff to fix, and we’re gonna build a custom dog kennel. This one’s gonna be pretty state-of-the-art. It’s gonna have concrete and heavy-duty fence, because they’ve been getting out, ‘’cause they’re so crazy, and we’re gonna build a dog house and get some heat pads and run power and water to it. So, it’ll be good. That’s usually what we do – come to the house and work on it. But it’s fun, and we always get to play a lot more. We work during the sunlight and then go hit the town at night.” [laughs]

Jon Pardi (favorite Christmas movie) OC: …up there. :15
“Bad Santa’s pretty good. But I have to say if you’re gonna watch it with little cousins, I would have to say Elf is pretty much probably one of the funniest Christmas movies to ever be that new and beat out all of the old Christmas movies. It is definitely up there.”

Jon Pardi (Dirt on My Boots) OC: …that track. :31
“I saw my 22 year old self getting off a tractor and going to take a shower and putting his work boots back on and going and hanging out with a girl and having a good time dancing or something. And I really connected to the lyrics of it. It’s very country lyrics. It has tractors. It has cutting a rug. My favorite [line] — ‘I can get cleaned up, but I can only get so fancy,’ and I loved it. It was a great written country lyric, and I really think we made it more of a traditional feel with a modern flare to it, and I was really proud of that track.”
