Toby Keith and Trace Adkins
Toby Keith and Trace Adkins recently sat down with The Boot to answer 20 or so funny, serious and downright random questions. Some of the things we learned include:
Who’s the most underrated singer in country music?
Trace: Other than me? [laughs] Everybody’s starting to catch on now, but I think Randy Houser is one of the best singers I’ve heard in a long time.
What mystery about women would you like cleared up?
Trace: Hmmm … that they can drive. I don’t really believe that they should be allowed to myself. They just ain’t payin’ attention to what they’re doing. I can’t stand to ride with my wife. I won’t let her drive when I’m in the vehicle with her. [laughs]
Toby: Why do they all hesitate and say ‘Huh?’ when you ask them a direct question when they’re trying to get around something? Like if you say, for instance, ‘I didn’t know we had these two credit cards.’ [She says] …’Huh?’ It’s like you have to repeat the question again to give them time to think.
What’s the one thing you wouldn’t do for any amount of money?
Trace: For any amount of money? That’s kind of tough. I don’t know anybody that’s rich enough to be able to say that for except maybe the government. I’m not chomping at the bit to bungee jump, but I would for the right money. I’m not going to do it for nothing!
What does retirement mean to you?
Toby: I’ve been in retirement now for about 10 years. [laughs] People think getting up on stage for two hours a night is work. People who think that that’s work need to get a different occupation.
If a very beautiful woman flirted with you in front of your wife, what would you do?
Trace: What do you mean what do I do?
Do you flirt back?
Trace: Sure.
And Rhonda wouldn’t care?
Trace: She knows that I’m just an old porch dog. I bark at cars when they go by, but I ain’t going to chase them down the road.
Who do guys you call if you need a good laugh?
Trace: Blake Shelton. If I need a good laugh I just think about Blake Shelton.
Toby: I’ve got several guys … Larry the Cable Guy, Rodney Carrington, Cletus T. Judd. One of the funniest guys – and they’ve all met him, too – is my bass player Chuck Goff. You can call him any time and get a laugh. He ought to have his own radio show. He’s funny!
