Week Sixteen Question

Question:  I am a big fan of yours and also a big fan of Blake Shelton. Are you guys friends or are you related somehow?
-- submitted by Donna from Ridgeley, WV

Answer:  That's funny. Are we related? I hope not!

Blake is a cool dude. We met about 10 years or so ago and he's truly one of the funniest guys I have ever been around. We were backstage at a Hank Williams Jr. show in Atlanta. Blake said come back to my green room and let's have a beer. We had a beer, told hunting stories and we've been friends ever since. I didn't even watch Hank Williams Jr. that night.

I usually make it to a couple of Blake's shows a year and he'll make it to a couple of races. We actually crashed a karaoke bar in Daytona during speed weeks. Well, I crashed it and he shocked the folks that were in there. It was Sunday night after qualifying and we both had the day off on Monday so it was fun for us to be able to hang and not have to work. It's rare that happens. One of us usually has to work when we're able to see each other -- well if you call what he does work, I guess.

If you're a Blake Shelton fan and haven't seen him live then please go. He's better in person than he is on the radio.
