(crowd cheering)
- I heard you wanted to ask me something.
So go ahead.
- Anyway. So you may not remember this
but you and I had a disagreement.
- (chuckles) Which one?
- I know. I know.
And this happened to be
over the conversation that came up about, is it a fiddle?
- Oh.
- Or is it a violin?
- Oh.
- And Blake
- We're talking about himself in third person. Okay.
- Yep.
(crowd laughs)
- Blake was the guy who said, "Well, a fiddle is a violin.
A violin is a Fiddle.
There's absolutely no difference in the two.
It's just depends on what kind of music
you listen to."
- No, that's what I said.
- [Blake] No, it's not. No, it's not.
- Yeah.
- [Blake] In fact, - No, that's what I said.
- I, when it, when the show aired I was like,
oh my God, I've got to record that.
And so I recorded it, edited the clip.
- Oh, I think you
- And brought the clip here with me.
- Oh, okay.
- I brought the clip here with me.
Guys, could you roll that clip?
Did you get it from my iPhone?
(Kelly laughs)
- I just need to know this answer.
- Okay. - Okay.
So Shelton and I
on the voice have often argued the difference
between a fiddle and a violin.
So what do you think the difference
between a fiddle and a violin is?
- It's the way it's played.
- Totally. So you're saying he was right.
- I'm sorry, Kelly. - [Kelly] It's fine.
- We're going to edit this out.
- [Show Guest] Yeah.
(audience laughs)
- See?
- No. No.
- Your people forgot to edit it out.
- [Kelly] No, no.
- [Kelly] So let me say
- Are you still right?
- I'm look, look, I'm standing strong with this
but they're usually different strings.
They're usually different style strings
and they sound different.
I, I'm just saying, I feel like, I feel like
so I'm like, kind of right. (chuckles)
(audience laughs)
- Y'all see.
(audience laughs)
- [Kelly] Here's the thing.
- Do you understand? - This is the one time
- What it's like for me - when I'm wrong.
- (inaudible) - When I'm wrong,
When I'm wrong, I will tell you
I was wrong.
I thought I was - [Blake] Okay!
- I thought I was - It's a miracle!
(audience cheers and applauds)
- I thought it was not just the way it was played,
I also thought that there was something different
about the strings, how they string it.
I swear I thought that.
Well, I did think that.
I just was wrong in that thought, maybe.
Okay. So moving on.
Alright. So you've got a new song.
I cannot thank you enough.
I, look, people don't know this, but I tell you all the time
nineties country is like my favorite.
It's my favorite.
It's my favorite. - Yes, I knew, I knew that.
- It's my favorite.
- And I love your new song, " Nobody."
It's not nobody.
"Nobody"
I love it.
- "Nobody."
- Yeah. Like, no
- Like Jimmy Fallon said, "It's like
they never found a body."
(audience laughs)
- There's no body. Right.
- He said, "there's nobody."
So you can't prove it.
- Right. Right.
- [Kelly] I love that.
- No, but so this is like a throwback to nineties country.
I did notice your mullet
came for, - [Blake] Oh. Made a
- Just came right back around.
- Made a quick little cameo
for the, for the video.
- [Kelly] Yep. Yep.
- [Blake] Oh, there it's there.
(audience cheers)
- [Blake] Look at that.
- [Kelly] I mean, it's so great.
I love all this is you and Shane Charlton
like making this happen, this whole like concept.
I love it.
I'm just very excited about it.
- Yeah. - Anyway
- Why do I always put the focus on my belt buckle,
do you think? It's like, look
- Because the belt buckle is a thing
- Yeah, okay. - In country.
Yeah. Wait, so what's the story behind "Nobody?"
- Ah, you know, I just
I'm to the point where
you've been doing it a long time too
it's just at, at this point in my career,
I just want to release music
that gets me fired up, you know?
- Yeah. - And I'm, I mean,
that's when I was in high school
was in the nineties and,
and so this song
it just kind of took me back there
for some reason reminds me of something.
maybe Tracy Byrd would've
- Yeah.
- Recorded back in the day.
In fact, there's a little
at the end of the video,
if you do see the video, maybe fast forward to the
very like last two seconds of the video,
and there's a little tip of the hat to Tracy Byrd
at the very end of the video.
I even texted him.
I said, Tracy, you gotta watch the,
I know you won't like the song
enough to watch the whole song,
but watch
- [Kelly] He would love it!
- Fast forward to the end
because it was for Tracy Byrd
at the end of the video.
- Oh my God. I love that.
It's the little things. So wait
- [Blake] Yeah.
- It's a huge piece of watermelon hitting me in the face.
(audience laughs)
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's that's for you, Tracy Byrd.
- That's amazing.
- [Kelly] Oh my God. So now you don't have to watch it.
Just picture it. - Yeah. Yeah.
- It's fun for me.
I'm going to watch it.
Maybe have a, make a clip of it.
So wait.
Let's do, let's do a little bit of "Nobody."
- I love it. - [Blake] Alright here we go
This reminds me of something I learned in (inaudible).
- I love this. (audience cheers and claps)
- Oh yeah, this one?
- I love this one.
(audience cheers and applauds)

- Yeah
- I love slide the cotton
no, but nobody that's like,
I'm like, that was clever and like sexy.
I liked it.
Blake's new single,
"Nobody" is out right now.
Check it out wherever you get your music.
Alright. So another song that I know you cover is
Michael Buble's "Home" and I love it.
- I got to perform that song with Michael.
- Yeah - A couple of times
way back in the day
and then I put it on my record and released it as a single.
- Yeah.
- And the song did really good for me.
In fact, it, it went to number one and
- Like all of them.
Yeah.
- Like, I mean, you know what I'm saying
- Yeah, yeah. (laughing)
- But I called, I texted Michael.
- [Kelly] Yeah.
- Or maybe he called me at the time.
I don't even think we had
each other's numbers, but he called
- [Kelly] That's fascinating how he would text you.
Y'all would call then
- It might have been before texting
now that I think about it.
But anyway, he was, he, we had just found
out the song was going to be the number one song at radio,
and for him,
even though he's Michael Buble'
like an international superstar
it was such a cool thing for him outta left field
to all of a sudden have written this.
- Yeah. - Hit for country radio.
and I remember him calling me.
I said, what are you doing?
He goes, man.
He said, I'm about to walk into a funeral
but I have a huge grin on my face
because this song just,
he goes, I don't have to suck on,
I remember he said, "I'm going to have to suck
on a lemon or something
and act sad today
because this song's going number one."
So I'll never forget him calling.
- Oh my God
- And saying that.
- I wanna hear you sing it.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Here we go.
- Oh my God, how does it start?
- Oh, my god. (laughing)
