This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

They announced the nominations for the ACM Awards, and I have not seen them yet, so I will look at them with you guys.

Entertainer of the year, that is the big one.

I always feel like they're doing now what the Oscars did when they were just adding more people so more people would talk about it. Not that any of these people aren't deserving, but I'm just saying, because Mike, didn't they do that where they started, there's like 41 nominees for movie of the year? Also including like more movies that people have actually seen. Yeah. Well, I think one, two, two, two, yeah, people have seen these people. Yeah. Yeah. I just feel like they now just allow way... Way more people so more people come. Because it's just hard to get people to do anything. Again, all these people are deserving. I'm not saying that. But it used to be like four people. Now, I'm not kidding. There are 19 nominees, including Eddie. Oh, really? Nominated for Entertainer of the Year. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Yeah, congratulations. Entertainer of the year, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Megan Maroney, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, Laney Wilson. I don't think you're going to argue against any of them. I think it's cool that Moroni got a nomination, so her first time being nominated for Entertainer of the Year. So that's pretty cool. It's just a lot. It's almost participation trophies for Entertainment of the Year, for the Great Entertainers only. So yeah, good for them. That's awesome. I don't feel like picking a winner right now, but it probably should be Morgan Wallen,

but it rarely is because...

Yeah, why is that?

I once got banned from both awards shows for doing this.

For talking about this?

Not talking about it but uh the voters

are ACM members like and so people in the industry and my feeling would be that some people

feel that Morgan Wallen isn't going to come anyway is anti-sist I don't know I don't have the answer to that okay okay

yeah because yeah I haven't seen him at award shows he hasn't been lately no lately yeah I mean

since like how long you think Zach Ryan will just never be nominated now he I don't know

if he's nominated anything else I think he's nominated though for for something some point, because I saw him in a hotel. So I talked to him at the ACMs in Dallas at a hotel. So I think he's been nominated for something at some point, but I don't know about entertainer of the year. Because he's not part of the system. I'm not a big system guy myself. Yeah.

But yeah, good luck to everybody.

Give a crap.

Song of the year.

Only five.

A song to sing Miranda Lamar and Chris Ableton.
