I don't watch a lot of Jimmy Fallon, which isn't surprising considering I'm a Brit. However, Blake Shelton's appearance on The Tonight Show was a delight. Especially when they tear into the name and cover and For Recreational Use Only.

Recently, Blake Shelton visited Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, where not only did they become best friends, but they also made light of his latest album. It was Shelton's tenth appearance on the show, so he was pretty relaxed the whole time though.
Almost right off the bat, Jimmy Fallon had something to say about the album cover, but Shelton was already one step ahead.
"I think the album cover's cool," Fallon said, propping up behind it. "It's mysterious, you're like a stranger in a bar."
"Stop," Shelton interrupted. "What are you doing? Just say your joke. I know you're building up to something."
Fallon continued his bit about Shelton being indecisive about what to play, and even alluded to the name of the album, which Shelton had only just admitted to being "ridiculous."
While Fallon went on with the 'mysterious stranger' bit, Shelton asked for the band to play some music to shut him up, but it only added to the atmosphere for the story.
Fallon soon turns the album around, where a meaner photo of Blake is used, "This guy's starting a bar fight."
Blake Shelton Doesn't Enjoy Naming His Albums
It wasn't just Fallon dogging the album (who also later called the font used the "Stranger Things font"), however. Blake Shelton made fun of the name, For Recreational Use Only.
Fallon asked the singer if he enjoyed naming albums, to which he admitted wasn't the fun part for him.
"I mean, just look at what the name of the album is," he said, pointing to the vinyl copy on the desk. "For Recreational Use Only... It's ridiculous."
"It's just trying to come up with something that people will remember."
Shortly after, they realized that the vinyl itself could be used recreationally in another way, as a frisbee.
Oh, and by the way, the vinyl is clear. Something Shelton thought was the first time such a feat has happened.
