Speaker 1: It's the best bit of the week with Morgan I too.
Speaker 2: She's breaking down the top seven segments from the Bobby
Speaker 2: Bone Show this week.
Speaker 3: What's up everybody? Happy weekend.
Speaker 4: I'm so glad if you're here that you chose to
Speaker 4: hang out with me on a Saturday and catch up
Speaker 4: on The Bobby Bone Show this weekend. On part one,
Speaker 4: in Part three, I brought on Mike d you caught
Speaker 4: off on Live how things are going? In Part one
Speaker 4: and part three, we answered some of y'all's questions that
Speaker 4: you guys send in on my Instagram, which, by the way,
Speaker 4: if you ever want to submit a question, I.
Speaker 3: Post it every week.
Speaker 4: It kind of varies in the day that I post,
Speaker 4: but it will always be on my Instagram story at
Speaker 4: web Girl Morgan and you can submit one there or
Speaker 4: you can hit me up in the DM and I'll
Speaker 4: try and remember it. But really the question and answer
Speaker 4: is probably the best.
Speaker 3: Place because so much is going on sometimes.
Speaker 4: But check those out for now, Let's get into the
Speaker 4: Bobby Bone Show from this week. We did a little
Speaker 4: fill in the blank in real time, so we all
Speaker 4: shared something that makes us think less of others, and
Speaker 4: for some it had to do with a grocery cart.
Speaker 3: For others, that had to do driving fast.
Speaker 4: For me personally, I had to do with animals. So listen,
Speaker 4: maybe you agree with some of us, maybe you agree with.
Speaker 3: None of them.
Speaker 5: Number seven, I fill in the blank. I saw this
Speaker 5: on TikTok. I immediately think less of you if blank,
Speaker 5: and I'll go first, I immediately think less of you
Speaker 5: or whomever it is. If there is I'm not even
Speaker 5: gonna say rude, if there's a lack of acknowledgement to
Speaker 5: a server or someone that's doing you know, any sort
Speaker 5: of wait table, waiting register service job, that kind of thing.
Speaker 5: So it doesn't have to be rudecause I don't think
Speaker 5: most people are rude. But if there's not even a
Speaker 5: lack of if there's a lack of acknowledgement like that
Speaker 5: irritates me as well, probably because I worked at service
Speaker 5: for a long time. Well, I'm sure of it. I
Speaker 5: think that's it for me. I think less of you
Speaker 5: if that am you want to.
Speaker 6: Go Yeah, when you don't me, no, not no win.
Speaker 7: Someone just leaves their grocery car in the parking lot.
Speaker 7: They don't return it to a little cubby that's in
Speaker 7: the parking lot.
Speaker 6: Or take it all the way back into the store.
Speaker 6: Like when people just like load up their car and
Speaker 6: then let the cart roll.
Speaker 5: I'm like, what, ye I let the cart roll? Is
Speaker 5: pretty bad. Yes, I used to drag cards. They do
Speaker 5: in hobby lobby. We have to drag car. I think
Speaker 5: latch box also drag cards, and it sucks if they
Speaker 5: just leave them straight. Also, there is a part of
Speaker 5: the day though, that you're going to gather them at
Speaker 5: the end of the day. It's kind of like a break. Sure,
Speaker 5: but I don't want people to leave them out. But
Speaker 5: you know, if you spend an extra few minutes out
Speaker 5: walking down the parking lot, sometimes it ain't so bad. Okay,
Speaker 5: but yes, I agree, at least put them back in
Speaker 5: that little like.
Speaker 6: It doesn't make sense, the.
Speaker 5: Little orange the little thing with the orange.
Speaker 8: Like walk just walk into the store that far back.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 5: See, I would say, just put it into the little
Speaker 5: machine because you're not going to get people to take
Speaker 5: it all the way back, right.
Speaker 7: I don't think less of you if you do the
Speaker 7: little like. Yeah, the cubbies that are created or whatever,
Speaker 7: but the people like I see it.
Speaker 6: I saw it just the other day, and this it
Speaker 6: was it was a woman. I don't know what I
Speaker 6: was thinking.
Speaker 5: She should be.
Speaker 7: More considerate, but yeah, she just loaded everything and then
Speaker 7: just kind of drove off and let it. And then
Speaker 7: that's when you risk the dinging a car. I just
Speaker 7: don't understand that behavior.
Speaker 5: But also it takes up a space too if you
Speaker 5: leave it, yeah, or just sit in a space. So yeah, okay, Eddie.
Speaker 9: If you drive fast in my neighborhood, I mean, we're
Speaker 9: not gonna be friends, like.
Speaker 5: Whoever you are, even if they live there.
Speaker 9: There's somebody that lives in my neighborhood that drives fast,
Speaker 9: continues to drive fast even though kids are outside, and like, dude,
Speaker 9: you were, I don't care. If you're the nice person
Speaker 9: in the world. We are not gonna be friends.
Speaker 5: Do you know where they live?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Would you say anything to them if they were to
Speaker 5: uppear in front of you?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would do it like passively aggressive?
Speaker 5: You know you would I felt that answer.
Speaker 9: No, No, no, I'd be like, hmm, drop pretty fast down
Speaker 9: this road, don't you.
Speaker 5: Oh, you would say that here's the least confrontational guy
Speaker 5: in this show.
Speaker 9: You would say that, and then we'll see. I mean,
Speaker 9: I'm not gonna fight over it. But I'd be like, hey, man,
Speaker 9: you're not need to slow down. There's kids out here
Speaker 9: playing because I even have that little guy with a flag.
Speaker 9: Sometimes they put a coner in the middle of the
Speaker 9: road if the kids are out. I don't want people
Speaker 9: driving fast in my neighborhood.
Speaker 5: You put a cone in your Oh yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 11: Do you put one of those guys with the like
Speaker 11: the kids at play and they have a little flag,
Speaker 11: there's like a little statue I.
Speaker 1: Have that guy.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, you do not. Yeah, you are.
Speaker 11: Such a loser you aren't mind it.
Speaker 9: And I like put it in the middle of the
Speaker 9: road so I have to drive around it. That's the best.
Speaker 10: I thought.
Speaker 5: You leave in the yard.
Speaker 11: Most people leave it on the curb and they have
Speaker 11: the little flag sticking out. Man, does it play?
Speaker 9: The kids are playing, it's in the middle of the
Speaker 9: road and they have to slow down drive around it.
Speaker 8: It's the best.
Speaker 5: Something else should have been driving fast in your neighborhood.
Speaker 5: I agree, because your neighborhood's not a fast drive neighborhood.
Speaker 5: You're not really getting anywhere.
Speaker 8: Correct, I'm close to the end of the rest.
Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, watchbox, you Uh, yeah, if you don't
Speaker 5: like sports, so you like someone less if they don't
Speaker 5: like sports. Yeah.
Speaker 11: Like if I start talking to someone and they're like,
Speaker 11: oh yeah, I don't really follow sports.
Speaker 8: So is that just dudes? Yeah yeah, like other dads.
Speaker 11: It's like you're like, oh, man, you say that game
Speaker 11: last night, I don't really follow football all right. Remember
Speaker 11: we go to this guy over here.
Speaker 5: Man, yeah, that's almost like someone that I don't have
Speaker 5: social media.
Speaker 8: You're like really, yeah, it's.
Speaker 11: So weird and strange, and like, I know it's not
Speaker 11: like take a cart back or you know, driving too fast.
Speaker 8: But I get it.
Speaker 11: Well, man, we're not be friends.
Speaker 9: I talked to someone who hadn't had watched five football
Speaker 9: games in their life.
Speaker 8: I'm like, WHOA, that's crazy.
Speaker 5: Sports isn't for everybody. And I know artists in town
Speaker 5: who don't follow sports at all, and that's because they're
Speaker 5: extremely artistic and they spend their time focused on other things. Weird.
Speaker 5: For me, always the easiest for me to bond with
Speaker 5: someone over sports. For me, anybody knew I could be
Speaker 5: like where you're from, and I'll know something about their hometown,
Speaker 5: who went to school there, who played pro that like
Speaker 5: for me. That's a that's a pretty solid engagement tool.
Speaker 9: It's the first icebreaker, you know, if they're if they
Speaker 9: like a team, you know they're doing good or not.
Speaker 8: You're like, oh man, I got tough season.
Speaker 5: Man, maybe you guy should diversify your like mental portfolios. Though.
Speaker 11: Ah yeah, I had one person talk to me, try
Speaker 11: to talk to me about art.
Speaker 5: Oh, I don't who knows about art exactly?
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 11: They're like, oh iquitous.
Speaker 5: Though, art is not everywhere, so sports is everywhere in
Speaker 5: our culture. Art is not not that people know about it,
Speaker 5: Like there's a whole there's not a whole channel on art.
Speaker 6: Art is everywhere.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 11: I try to dog sports and they're like, no, I'm
Speaker 11: more into art. You know, you know this artist? And
Speaker 11: I was like, no, man, I don't know what you're
Speaker 11: talking about.
Speaker 4: Organ mine's if you don't like animals, Like if somebody
Speaker 4: says to me, I don't like dogs, I don't like cats,
Speaker 4: I don't if they like, can't empathize with animals anything
Speaker 4: on that level.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do know people like I hate cats. Do
Speaker 5: you hate them? Or is that just cool to say?
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people that will say that I
Speaker 3: really hate.
Speaker 4: Cats, or like there's people that purposely hate squirrels on
Speaker 4: the road, Like those are the type of people I
Speaker 4: don't like.
Speaker 8: Come on, I don't think that.
Speaker 5: I don't really think that's a thing.
Speaker 11: You would wreck trying to purpose hit it.
Speaker 5: I don't know about that.
Speaker 11: Okay, you guys ever made by the hit a squirrel
Speaker 11: on purpose?
Speaker 8: No, I have.
Speaker 3: How do you think I know this?
Speaker 5: It's all the right boyfriends? Yeah, no, no, I don't.
Speaker 5: And I grew up with a bunch of idiots. You know,
Speaker 5: you try sometimes you don't swerve because you don't want
Speaker 5: to hit something hit them. Yeah, I never had him
Speaker 5: a chase a squirrel down to kill it. I'm gonna
Speaker 5: get it all right, We're here, man.
Speaker 2: It's the best bits of the week. With Morgan number.
Speaker 4: Two, there was a huge disturbance in Lunchbox's neighborhood. According
Speaker 4: to him, he saw this big thing happened and he
Speaker 4: was like, how is this possible?
Speaker 3: I have no idea what's going on? Brought it to
Speaker 3: the show. Some of the show.
Speaker 4: Members think it may not be totally the right story.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe you've seen this before and you can tell us
Speaker 4: the truth. So here is Lunchbox complaining about something that
Speaker 4: happened in his neighborhood.
Speaker 2: Number six.
Speaker 5: Lunchback said he saw something disturbing in his neighborhood and
Speaker 5: he wants to share that with us. Go ahead.
Speaker 11: Yeah, So I saw some people out jogging. I was like, oh,
Speaker 11: you know, a running group.
Speaker 12: And then I look and its inmates from the prison
Speaker 12: jogging and jogging in my neighborhood. Really like there was
Speaker 12: when they were wearing They were wearing a white T
Speaker 12: shirt and like brown shorts and the guy at the
Speaker 12: front was in all black and the one in the
Speaker 12: back was in all black and it said like a
Speaker 12: uff on the front.
Speaker 11: So he's they're running with inmates in between them. There
Speaker 11: was like five inmates and two officers just jogging down
Speaker 11: the street out for exercise.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's not good.
Speaker 11: I'm like no, no, no, no, no, Like I understand you
Speaker 11: want them to get their exercise.
Speaker 8: Do that on the yard. Do that on the yard.
Speaker 11: Be like low, okay your street, because hey, kids, come
Speaker 11: on inside, the inmates are out running.
Speaker 8: Huh sorry, man, that ain't cool.
Speaker 6: It's probably good behavior too, Like, hey, if you're you
Speaker 6: have a low crime and you've been good. You get
Speaker 6: to go outside for a run.
Speaker 11: But why my street do.
Speaker 5: You live by a prisoner? No, you don't even live by.
Speaker 11: That's what I'm saying. So like, do they drive them
Speaker 11: into town to.
Speaker 9: Maybe it's a cross country team. You know they're they're
Speaker 9: going long long dis Are.
Speaker 5: You sure the prisoners not ups workers? Ah?
Speaker 11: Yeah, but it says share up on the front of
Speaker 11: the guy in the front and the guy in the back.
Speaker 11: I'm pretty sure those guys in the academy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like people running that are at law enforcement.
Speaker 11: Why wouldn't they say it on their shirts? Why are
Speaker 11: they in matching white.
Speaker 8: Man're trying out? Yeah, that's the cant So what they
Speaker 8: all had a shaved head. Okay, this sounds like camp
Speaker 8: not good.
Speaker 5: Could it be military?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Then why would you have the sheriff on one? Why
Speaker 11: would the sheriffs be the buns.
Speaker 6: Because that's what they do when they're the leaders.
Speaker 11: If you're just trying out for the sheriff department, I
Speaker 11: don't think you need to shareff flanking you on both sides.
Speaker 5: So then you don't like it.
Speaker 13: Nah.
Speaker 11: I didn't feel very good about that one. And there
Speaker 11: was no notice, like, hey, we're gonna be running the
Speaker 11: inmates through the neighborhood today.
Speaker 5: That should come on the Facebook.
Speaker 11: They just do something, let me know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what do you.
Speaker 5: Think is worst case scenario? Though, I'm wondering why you
Speaker 5: think this is bad?
Speaker 11: I mean, one dart's right, one dart's left, there's only
Speaker 11: two shares there to get those two and another three
Speaker 11: are And what are they doing? Who knows what they're doing?
Speaker 11: Breaking in their house? I mean, taking my car, my
Speaker 11: wife's car, anything. I don't know. I don't know what
Speaker 11: they're in for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe you could ask that.
Speaker 11: Maybe you call hom Oh, my goodness, maybe you.
Speaker 5: Call the sheriff's department or the local prison and you
Speaker 5: ask that question. Hey, it's lunchbox here. I noticed there
Speaker 5: were a couple of sheriffs and some manmates running down
Speaker 5: the road. I would like more information about that question. One,
Speaker 5: what are they in for?
Speaker 11: You're like, how do they get permission to be running
Speaker 11: on my streets?
Speaker 5: Maybe you could voice your displeasure with them running down
Speaker 5: your streets.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, they didn't ask my opinion, Like they just
Speaker 11: decided they have this program. I guess I don't know.
Speaker 5: I feel like that's where they won't break in where
Speaker 5: where they've been running, where they're runing.
Speaker 11: Well, if there's their only option, they got to break
Speaker 11: in to get a car to get it get away.
Speaker 5: You probably don't run away. You probably have a lot
Speaker 5: of time of good behavior, doing things right.
Speaker 9: And one box is right though, if one goes left
Speaker 9: and one goes right, there are guys in the middle.
Speaker 8: They're home free. Like they're home free.
Speaker 5: I have just call the cops that are five minutes
Speaker 5: away to come get home.
Speaker 6: I just really feel like this is like an academy.
Speaker 5: Many prisons offer programs that a lot of prisoners to
Speaker 5: go jogging off and through organized running clubs. Rightmids can
Speaker 5: participate in structured running sessions. Oh, prison guards shouldn't do that.
Speaker 6: I just got to I think it's that if they've.
Speaker 5: Been good, I'm good for it. We're trying to rehab
Speaker 5: them anyway, get it back out into society. I'm all
Speaker 5: for it.
Speaker 7: But they could do that in the yard, but they're
Speaker 7: not going to risk it.
Speaker 11: Like like go out in the country. Like go out
Speaker 11: in the country where there's no houses, street, get.
Speaker 5: Down to the bottom of this.
Speaker 11: I'll look into it.
Speaker 5: Out of the bottom of this.
Speaker 2: It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan.
Speaker 4: Number two, Luke Brian stopped by the studio is super
Speaker 4: fun to hear from him, not only because he has
Speaker 4: just the best laugh and likes to tell stories. He
Speaker 4: talked about his new album, but also because there's so
Speaker 4: many lucisms and we.
Speaker 3: Put together a reel of all of.
Speaker 4: His lucisms within this interview, and Eddie was laughing just
Speaker 4: editing the video. So go check that out on our
Speaker 4: Instagram at Bobby Bone Show. But right now, this is
Speaker 4: the full interview with Luke Bryant number five.
Speaker 5: All Right, Luke, it's good to see buddy. I haven't
Speaker 5: seen you in person a few months.
Speaker 10: Have you been been a little bit?
Speaker 5: Yeah, what have you been doing? Like, what's your life
Speaker 5: been like the last few months?
Speaker 10: Well, I had the worst asthma, bronchitis, Nashville drought stuff.
Speaker 10: So I finally have started singing at the level that
Speaker 10: I enjoyed to, but it was a rough one.
Speaker 5: I don't know about allergies, I always have.
Speaker 10: I was the kid that you know, the mother I
Speaker 10: was drinking the pink stuff on myxas so what was
Speaker 10: all that stuff? Yeah? I was just always snotty nosed,
Speaker 10: but and I had childhood asthma as a kid, and
Speaker 10: I'd never had it really come back and flare up
Speaker 10: until like the first of August. To wear it was,
Speaker 10: I had to move some shows and there's about three
Speaker 10: shows I probably should have moved. If you want to
Speaker 10: go look at those Instagram comments, you cannot.
Speaker 5: Really Yeah, I have you addressed that and be like, I'm.
Speaker 10: Well when I'm having See the problem with my voice
Speaker 10: is when I it has to it's all gotta work,
Speaker 10: like it's like everything's got to be working, and when
Speaker 10: it's not, it looks like I'm passing the kidney stone.
Speaker 10: So I don't really hide it, you know, and you
Speaker 10: can tell that I'm struggling. So in Chicago, I postponed
Speaker 10: Des Moines in Oklahoma City to just try to get
Speaker 10: better and get better. And it was weird, this thing.
Speaker 10: I would my talking voice would be good, but the
Speaker 10: more I sing, it was like my lungs would get
Speaker 10: mad and then oh my gosh, I couldn't breathe. And
Speaker 10: I had Bailey was on the show, Tracy Lawrence and
Speaker 10: Chase Beckham. They came out and we made the most
Speaker 10: of it. But on a show like Wrigly you don't
Speaker 10: want to get up there and feel bad. You want
Speaker 10: to have fun. So I thought about doing like a
Speaker 10: Wriggly redo and just going up there and maybe redoing
Speaker 10: it or something.
Speaker 5: But we'll see, it's fell reading with a wry redo,
Speaker 5: wr redo what so. And again you have to factor
Speaker 5: in this because as a fan of music yourself and
Speaker 5: you've been to tons of concerts, it's like, what's more
Speaker 5: annoying the artist canceling or the artist being a little
Speaker 5: bit sick, And probably it's more annoying with they cancel.
Speaker 10: It's awful because people, especially a town like Wrigly. I mean,
Speaker 10: it's one thing if you're playing like a standard amphitheater
Speaker 10: in that people probably have bought the season tickets and
Speaker 10: all that. But you know a lot of people when
Speaker 10: they come to Wrigley, they probably come in on the
Speaker 10: Friday night destination for sure, grab a room enjoys Chicago,
Speaker 10: and man, it's a it's just a terrible scenario to
Speaker 10: get in the middle of. And then through all this,
Speaker 10: you don't know if you're kind of like maybe fighting
Speaker 10: little COVID strains and stuff like that. And I never
Speaker 10: had like fevers or where I was like I need
Speaker 10: to go get a COVID test, so it it gets
Speaker 10: a little tricky. I've never had to move shows until
Speaker 10: the past two years, and god, I hate it because
Speaker 10: there's no there's you're always gonna really, You're always gonna
Speaker 10: really have people that are like, how could you do
Speaker 10: this to us? We've been waiting. We flew in from
Speaker 10: you know. But but no. But nothing is worse than
Speaker 10: being out there and not being able to sing.
Speaker 5: It's like having a terrible sore throat and you're second
Speaker 5: guessing everything you're doing.
Speaker 10: Because I told somebody, I was like, I would rather
Speaker 10: televise of a sectomy than do that right there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but well you can sing with them a second.
Speaker 5: It may hurt. It may hurt on the high notes.
Speaker 5: What is your hardest song to sing? Anyway? Let's imagine
Speaker 5: you're not on a roller coaster? Is it because it's
Speaker 5: is it high?
Speaker 10: It's the whole It's when you start the chorus. But
Speaker 10: when my when everything's clicking, it's easy. But when it
Speaker 10: is not, it is, Uh, do the.
Speaker 5: Melody of the you have to sing at hardback. I can't.
Speaker 5: I can't get there, hold on, I did not.
Speaker 10: It came and feeling would last long and had warmed
Speaker 10: up you.
Speaker 5: Hey your back.
Speaker 10: Yeah, if I can't hit that, see that I got
Speaker 10: a little.
Speaker 8: Yeah, made me want to do that. I'll do that
Speaker 8: for you.
Speaker 10: I did not cain and feel would last long, longer.
Speaker 8: Than I mean.
Speaker 10: If it ain't clicking, you know, it's just uh yeah,
Speaker 10: we've had to skip roller Coaster a couple times.
Speaker 5: Well, I was reading, now you have thirty number one songs,
Speaker 5: and so you can actually not do some songs right.
Speaker 10: So many we've gotten to where we move we can
Speaker 10: move some stuff around, Like if I get on the piano.
Speaker 10: One thing is when I'm having vocal trouble, the reason
Speaker 10: why I'm having it is I'm I'm like pushing above
Speaker 10: the band. So we've learned if I just get up
Speaker 10: there with my guitar piano and really like just settle
Speaker 10: down and sing a little softer, that helps. But when
Speaker 10: you saw when I just sang roller Coaster, I mean,
Speaker 10: when I'm a loud singer, it's not And I think,
Speaker 10: like now, Gary Levox, in my opinion, is one of
Speaker 10: the best singers of all time. But same thing, he
Speaker 10: has to like let it rip to make it happen.
Speaker 5: Can you take it? Can you change keys?
Speaker 10: I don't want to do that.
Speaker 8: He'd be like, that was the little time.
Speaker 10: You know, I don't think, you know, I don't. I
Speaker 10: think when I'm when I'm sixty five and I'm out there,
Speaker 10: it's probably not gonna be a bad idea to to
Speaker 10: change keys and stuff like that.
Speaker 5: But I watched Elton John change keys on about every
Speaker 5: song because we again, he's older now, right, and he'd
Speaker 5: be like, hold me closer, tiny dancer, because that's really
Speaker 5: all he can. It was still at work. But you're
Speaker 5: also like, that's John seventy and it's really hard.
Speaker 10: Oh oh, I mean, and it's a real deal. I think, naturally, yeah,
Speaker 10: I think you're gonna and they I've heard all these
Speaker 10: stories like the human voice, the male voice like hits
Speaker 10: full like maturity at like forty one to forty three.
Speaker 10: But then and I feel like when when I don't have,
Speaker 10: like I said, when I'm in a great non allergy situation.
Speaker 10: One thing too is I started playing a lot of.
Speaker 5: Golf, and that made it worse because you're I think
Speaker 5: that's not helping.
Speaker 6: Well, what what's golf is different than fishing and huntings?
Speaker 10: Well, because they're out there cutting grass and mowing and.
Speaker 5: You're in water and when you're fishing and allergiens aren't terrible.
Speaker 10: Yeah water, Well, but I'm allergic to fish, which we
Speaker 10: probably we've talked about before.
Speaker 5: It's a weird thing to love fishing and be allergic fish. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I am like NFL player, I'm allergic to face if
Speaker 5: I touch them.
Speaker 10: Like, so if I go fishing, I take an allegra.
Speaker 10: It's like, all right, now I'm can go fish. Interesting,
Speaker 10: But I mean I'm pretty I got a bad allergies
Speaker 10: and I take you know, like I'm on singular every
Speaker 10: day all the So that's what sucks too, is the fans,
Speaker 10: Like I want the fans to know, like I'm not
Speaker 10: out like you know, raking a hay barn and and
Speaker 10: you know, when I got sick, when I start to
Speaker 10: feel it coming on, like I'm going to the doctor.
Speaker 10: We're talking thirty minutes a day. When you do all
Speaker 10: that and you load up on premison and all the antibiotics,
Speaker 10: and you still suck, You're like, I hate my life.
Speaker 5: Let me ask you about music. You have MND Have
Speaker 5: a Country Boy just came out the full album and
Speaker 5: you're obviously still writing. How often are you writing now?
Speaker 10: I would say I'm writing three four songs a month.
Speaker 5: Once a week.
Speaker 8: Possibly you wouldn't.
Speaker 10: Say that much. I mean I would say, uh, I
Speaker 10: tell you what I am doing. I'm constantly logging ideas
Speaker 10: and I'm constantly waking up at night and like typing
Speaker 10: in ideas. I have tons of ideas, and I'm just
Speaker 10: kind of I wait for those ideas to meet the
Speaker 10: right co writer. And I think I want to start
Speaker 10: doing some uh maybe some songwriter retreats and really knock
Speaker 10: out a lot more. But I enjoy like when I
Speaker 10: sit down and write one of mine, it's like, God,
Speaker 10: it's probably gonna be me again. Like I love to
Speaker 10: hear like the song Closing Time in California, Like that's
Speaker 10: such a different approach on this album. And I just
Speaker 10: like kind of trying new stuff out too, And I
Speaker 10: think some of the younger writers can really make that happen.
Speaker 5: You did write that, but you found it and you
Speaker 5: were doing Why's It feels a bit different.
Speaker 10: It's just a different approach and it's kind of got
Speaker 10: that uh yeah, It's just like a fresher approach than
Speaker 10: maybe something that I've always done historically. And and using
Speaker 10: the falsetto was something that I've never really done a
Speaker 10: lot in any of my albums prior.
Speaker 5: And do you feel weird recording that when you don't
Speaker 5: do it often? Are you?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 5: How do I sound?
Speaker 10: What's funny is I typically do pretty well singing falsetto.
Speaker 10: I mean it's like I've been tried. Well now, oh
Speaker 10: my god, I can't do any of this now. But
Speaker 10: but you know, I think, you know, my main thing
Speaker 10: is is this something I can I can make happen live,
Speaker 10: you know? And and you don't ever wanna, Like I said,
Speaker 10: I don't want to get out there and start adding,
Speaker 10: you know, gain vocals and all that stuff. I mean,
Speaker 10: I don't know who does that, but I've I've I've
Speaker 10: never done that. And uh so, and I still want to.
Speaker 10: I still want to grow as a singer and a
Speaker 10: guitar player and a piano player. But uh this one
Speaker 10: kind of will push me to kind of stay on
Speaker 10: the game.
Speaker 5: About to have another number one Love you Miss You
Speaker 5: Mean it? Why'd you pick that song? You know?
Speaker 10: Love you Miss You Mean? It's one of those titles
Speaker 10: you're like, why has that? And I've been written and
Speaker 10: the first time I heard it, it was just that
Speaker 10: perfect amount of like something that I felt like it
Speaker 10: was a song kind of tailor made for me. And
Speaker 10: you hear that story, I means I think Caroline and
Speaker 10: I are our college relationship. We dated a little in college,
Speaker 10: kind of got away each from each other for quite
Speaker 10: a few years, and then got back together. And that's
Speaker 10: kind of mirrors what's going on. And I think a
Speaker 10: lot of people out there have had that deal where
Speaker 10: they kind of go their separate ways after high school
Speaker 10: or college and get back together. And it feels like
Speaker 10: a pretty relatable song.
Speaker 5: So, well, congratulations on everything. You're back on idle have you?
Speaker 5: Guy started recording taping yet?
Speaker 10: We'll start very soon, like in the next couple about
Speaker 10: that time. You know, auditions are typically October is like
Speaker 10: my hell month. It's like where the kids are like, yeah, Dad,
Speaker 10: we'll see you, We'll see you here in a little while, so.
Speaker 5: Which I'm meaning, what like that you're gone, and so
Speaker 5: they're like see any other side.
Speaker 10: Well, historically I have always been maintaining a full speed
Speaker 10: tour through October, and this year I took Friday nights
Speaker 10: off in October, so I'm kind of I'm kind of
Speaker 10: joking a little bit. I'm gonna be home on Friday
Speaker 10: nights for us for Bow's football, and then I'm not
Speaker 10: I'm doing a makeup some makeup shows. But then October
Speaker 10: is pretty chill other than what I would used to
Speaker 10: do is four days of auditions from like Monday, Tuesday,
Speaker 10: Wednesday or three days and then go straight to a
Speaker 10: Thursday tour and then leave Saturday back to auditions. So
Speaker 10: it used to get pretty Uh, October used to get
Speaker 10: pretty Harry.
Speaker 5: How early did you know they were talking to Carrie
Speaker 5: about coming on the show.
Speaker 10: Well, there were a lot of names getting thrown around.
Speaker 10: Her name was always in the mix. I think it's
Speaker 10: probably you could google the names that were talked about
Speaker 10: from Megan Trainer and maybe like Miley and some other people,
Speaker 10: and so we were hearing all of the names that
Speaker 10: were circulating. And so then they said, well Carrie signed on.
Speaker 10: And I had seen Carrie at the Toby Keith tribute
Speaker 10: and I was like, what's up there, you know, coworker
Speaker 10: or whatever. I guess that's how you say it, but
Speaker 10: or co judge, and she's like, yeah, I'm announcing on Wednesday.
Speaker 10: So we were kind of keeping it quiet.
Speaker 5: That's like a Carrie and Kelly would have been the
Speaker 5: A plus best absolute ones to get those have been
Speaker 5: the two best. I don't hit it, I don't hit
Speaker 5: a home run. Carrie and Kelly Clarkson would have been
Speaker 5: the two ape.
Speaker 10: Yeah, when you look at carrie ability to relate with kids,
Speaker 10: it'll be uh. I mean, obviously me and Lionel we
Speaker 10: relate as best we can. But I mean Carry'll do
Speaker 10: great in that role. And the fact that Carrie has
Speaker 10: always really come back and uplifted the show. She never
Speaker 10: was like, well the show did this, and you know,
Speaker 10: she's always like this show is why, you know. So
Speaker 10: she's been a champion with that. And I mean I
Speaker 10: remember like her first time back when I was a judge.
Speaker 10: I was like, thank you for coming back and singing
Speaker 10: your new single, and she was like, shut up, what
Speaker 10: are you talking about. Of course I'm coming back.
Speaker 5: Yeah. She never ran from it to be like I'm
Speaker 5: bigger than that or I'm better than that. Yes, it's
Speaker 5: very story.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's very very important that she's done that.
Speaker 5: Great to see you love you, Love You. Luke's got
Speaker 5: a record out called Mind of a Country Boy. I
Speaker 5: Love You, Miss you mean it about to be Number one.
Speaker 5: He's back on Idol. He's going to do some makeup
Speaker 5: shows all over October as a very tough.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna yell at historically, I.
Speaker 5: Look good to see you, buddy.
Speaker 10: Good to see you.
Speaker 13: There.
Speaker 2: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 3: Picture this.
Speaker 4: You've got a water fountain, a trampoline park, Eddie and
Speaker 4: his son and a stranger and their son.
Speaker 3: Well, an argument ensued.
Speaker 4: Because something happened at this water fountain at the trampoline park.
Speaker 3: And that's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 5: Number four, I'm gonna start with this. Someone yelled at
Speaker 5: Eddie's son that wasn't you. Wasn't your wife, wasn't in
Speaker 5: your close circle?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 8: No, no, another parent I don't know her.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, go ahead.
Speaker 9: So we're at the jumpy place, right and my kid
Speaker 9: is by the water fountain, and I hear this mom
Speaker 9: just go.
Speaker 8: Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?
Speaker 9: So we all kind of turn around because we're sitting
Speaker 9: in these little couches.
Speaker 8: We look back and this lady just yelling at my son,
Speaker 8: which sun howld he's eleven? And so I walk up there.
Speaker 8: I'm like, what's going on? What's going on?
Speaker 9: It's like your son pushed my son against the wall,
Speaker 9: and I go, okay, well what happened? So let's break
Speaker 9: it down. So my son says, I was just drinking
Speaker 9: one out of the water fountain and he kept pushing me,
Speaker 9: telling me to hurry up, hurry up. I have water
Speaker 9: all over my face. So I turned around and pushed him.
Speaker 9: I was like, well, kind of sounds like he deserves that.
Speaker 5: Okay, let's evaluate.
Speaker 8: So I'm like, who's right in this situation?
Speaker 5: What do you say to your son?
Speaker 8: Presently? Hey, you can't. You can't just push people like
Speaker 8: you can't punch people. He can't push people.
Speaker 9: I understand he deserved it, like he probably, you know,
Speaker 9: like shouldn't have done that. So you reacted that way,
Speaker 9: Probably stop yourself. Don't do that next time.
Speaker 5: Are you sure that what he's saying was the accurate
Speaker 5: portrayal of what actually happened.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that one, that son doesn't really lie.
Speaker 5: I take it. It's different with other signs. Everybody has it. Okay,
Speaker 5: all right, what are you thinking?
Speaker 7: Okay, so did the first kid he was hurrying him
Speaker 7: along in the water fountain, but he did he touch him, he.
Speaker 8: Kept pushing him. So my son said he kept.
Speaker 7: Pushing them in the shote and the water went on
Speaker 7: his face. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 7: see him reacting that way.
Speaker 6: That's hard. I mean they both were in the wrong.
Speaker 7: Both boys acted, you know, a little aggressive for a
Speaker 7: water fountain line.
Speaker 5: Why should a waterface boy, Eddie son do I because again,
Speaker 5: what does he do? Did tell? Who's going to tell
Speaker 5: at a water fountain? If you're eleven right, right, and
Speaker 5: you get picked on even more?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I don't know that.
Speaker 7: I would say to my son, Hey, yeah, I understand pushing.
Speaker 7: I would just say, in any circumstance, even if someone
Speaker 7: else is.
Speaker 6: Touching you, gosh, I don't know. Boys are different too.
Speaker 7: I'm trying to think of my son because like, if
Speaker 7: you're being touched, like yeah, you might turn around and
Speaker 7: push them back.
Speaker 9: And here's the thing, Like my son has like three
Speaker 9: brothers and when I mean, all they do is just
Speaker 9: push each other and push each other.
Speaker 7: That's a good point because it's boys, all boys in
Speaker 7: the house all the time, and that's how they treat
Speaker 7: each other. Because I'm like, I just don't see my
Speaker 7: son acting that way at all, whatsoever, And I would
Speaker 7: be shocked if he did.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't have because I'd gotten beaten up. I asked
Speaker 5: that I'd have been water. I'd have been the kid
Speaker 5: with water on his face, and then I would have
Speaker 5: known better to push back because I'd have gotten pounded.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So okay, that's my first question. And was what you
Speaker 5: said to your son? That's what you said, That's what
Speaker 5: I said. I hope when we finally have kids that
Speaker 5: have a sound that beats people up, and I want
Speaker 5: to go find my bullies kids and beat them up
Speaker 5: and like do it. Oh, I want to go find him. Yeah,
Speaker 5: be like his daddy's beat me up. Get him. That'd
Speaker 5: be awesome. Secondly, what what do you say to that parent?
Speaker 9: I said, I'm sorry, you know, I'll talk to him,
Speaker 9: so he should have done that. You're right, but really,
Speaker 9: but let's not yell at my son. I did say,
Speaker 9: but let's not yell at my son. And then what
Speaker 9: did the parents say back?
Speaker 8: She said, that's fine, I get it.
Speaker 7: Did you say to her my son said that your
Speaker 7: son was pushing him into the water.
Speaker 9: Well, my son told the whole story in front of
Speaker 9: both of us, gotcha. Yeah, so we kind of broke
Speaker 9: down the store with her little idiot son.
Speaker 8: He was crying.
Speaker 1: He was crying.
Speaker 11: Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. Did you ask her, Hey,
Speaker 11: did you yell at your son?
Speaker 8: No, she yelled at my son.
Speaker 5: I mean she didn't see her son doing it.
Speaker 9: Well, I didn't see any of it. So that's the
Speaker 9: crazy part. Okay, let me let me think about this.
Speaker 5: I think that she shouldn't have yelled. I think that
Speaker 5: she could probably go walk over there and be like, hey, guy,
Speaker 5: chill up. I think the yelling if it's not your kid.
Speaker 5: Other parents, antenna's come up and if it's one of
Speaker 5: their kids, they do go into defense mode. Yeah, Papa Bear, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I think I don't mind just on pushing him if
Speaker 5: he was pushing them back, and I just I have
Speaker 5: come up with the idea of I'm gonna bully my
Speaker 5: bully's kids. My kids are it's my new goal in life.
Speaker 8: When I told that story, that's what you thought.
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, That's where I come in this segment is
Speaker 5: I can't wait for that to happen. Even if they
Speaker 5: have kids are like fifteen, mine's like one. We're gonna
Speaker 5: start working on it.
Speaker 9: I mean it's tricky, right, Like I do tell my
Speaker 9: kids like, hey, stand up for yourself, but at the
Speaker 9: same time, like I don't want them to be violence.
Speaker 5: I think that it all ended well though, because that
Speaker 5: mom obviously was just reacting, not responding, and then I
Speaker 5: think she even was like sorry about that. Yeah, And
Speaker 5: then the bully's not crying about a little putt. You're
Speaker 5: not a real bully, I.
Speaker 8: Guess was a hard shove man. Pretty good little putt.
Speaker 5: You should be proud of your kids show.
Speaker 7: Yeah, where parenting gets hard because you're like, don't do that,
Speaker 7: but then also stick up for yourself.
Speaker 9: And then at the end of you're like a little
Speaker 9: proud of him, Like all right, it's pretty good.
Speaker 5: But can you say that?
Speaker 8: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 6: I mean that's why I'm like torn with what to do.
Speaker 5: Let's get started.
Speaker 8: That's a good story, Oh yeah, man, I thought so.
Speaker 5: I think though, that there's a lot of nuance involved,
Speaker 5: little elements that make the story a little different and
Speaker 5: you have to handle it in a special way, and
Speaker 5: I think you did exactly that. Thank you.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 2: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.
Speaker 4: It's not abnormal for a lunchbox to go above and
Speaker 4: beyond that certain situations. He went to a grand opening
Speaker 4: of a store here in Nashville and a celebrity was there.
Speaker 4: And when I say celebrity, this is someone to Lunchbox
Speaker 4: that is major, major tier celebrity.
Speaker 3: And he kind of geeked out a little.
Speaker 4: Too hard and he got roasted for it, not just
Speaker 4: on the show but by other people.
Speaker 5: Number three, Snookie opened up a store here in town.
Speaker 5: I saw that I did not know called the Snookie
Speaker 5: Shop Lunchbox loved Snookie Lunchbox loved.
Speaker 11: With GTLM laundry.

Speaker 11: look around. They had like bags and different things.
Speaker 6: The shop like lots of different accessories.
Speaker 8: Closes, So you aren't.
Speaker 5: Going for the stuff I want to Snooky.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Snooky was going to be there for the ribbon cutting,
Speaker 11: and she was all over Instagram saying come out Nashville,
Speaker 11: and I was like, whoa, Snookie's going to be there.
Speaker 11: Your boy's gonna be there, and I show up, dude.
Speaker 11: I was like, because it was supposed to happening at
Speaker 11: three o'clock, ribbon cutting three o'clock. So I'm like, all right,

Speaker 11: People were even lined up across the street just to
Speaker 11: catch a glimpse of Snooky And oh boy.
Speaker 5: So what did you record whatever happened here?
Speaker 11: I did? So what I did is I just kind
Speaker 11: of hung out like where the line was going one way.
Speaker 11: I just hung out on the other side of the
Speaker 11: door where there's only like ten people, and I was
Speaker 11: just sitting there. And then when her people came out
Speaker 11: and were setting up, because I was like, that's when
Speaker 11: she's coming out, and boom, I put myself right in
Speaker 11: front of the door. So I mean, I was front
Speaker 11: and center where the ribbon cutting is directly in front
Speaker 11: of the door, where they're stretching out the ribbon, where
Speaker 11: she comes out with the little scissors.
Speaker 5: Well, they're big scissiones watching her come out big pink ribbon.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, video, Yeah, it's on video. It's on the
Speaker 5: Snookie Shop. And I think you see Lunchbox in the video?

Speaker 5: like reaching over women right now? What was your goal
Speaker 5: with that?
Speaker 11: Did she hear you?
Speaker 5: Like that guy's high five?
Speaker 11: High five was just for the moment. I was like,
Speaker 11: what am I going to do to get Snooky's attention?
Speaker 11: And I was like, I am bigger than the people
Speaker 11: in front of me.
Speaker 5: Obviously you killed him.
Speaker 11: You have your louder arms. I am louder. What what's
Speaker 11: crazy is they were having because they were filming for
Speaker 11: the show they still do Family Vacation Jersey Shore, and
Speaker 11: they came and they were going up and down the
Speaker 11: line with Snookie outy being out there, and people were
Speaker 11: going crazy. But once she came out, they were all
Speaker 11: kind of quiet. And I'm like, guys, this is now
Speaker 11: when you would be excited when Snookie's actually out here
Speaker 11: and know. And I was like, I am gonna make
Speaker 11: sure Snooky sees me.
Speaker 5: Do you think and did you think, Pree, you're gonna
Speaker 5: be so full of energy that she's gonna be like,
Speaker 5: I need to be friends with that guy and have
Speaker 5: some sort of friendship relationship for years to come.
Speaker 11: I thought she would be like, oh, that's my kind
Speaker 11: of dude, Like let's go grab a drink, let's be friends, whatever,
Speaker 11: But that didn't really happen.

Speaker 8: What do you mean? What do you mean love?
Speaker 5: She wasn't interested in being like hey guy, no.
Speaker 11: Security was kind of like all right, next birds. Then
Speaker 11: they got to move me out of the way. Like
Speaker 11: in that one clip you see me outside there's a
Speaker 11: lady like reproduction. She's in a white shirt. I was
Speaker 11: like holding onto her hand, like making sure everybody saw,
Speaker 11: and she was like all right, all right. She got

Speaker 11: move along, move along.
Speaker 5: How many dudes which you they were there?

Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Not security? Yeah, probably about more than I thought. That's
Speaker 5: not I'm flating that number a lot of bit.
Speaker 11: No, yeah, maybe, yeah, but I think a lot of
Speaker 11: it was guys with their wives or girlfriends. I was solo.
Speaker 5: You should see him go over the top of these
Speaker 5: girls touch Snookie, like he is going over their heads
Speaker 5: and like elbowing them to touch it.
Speaker 11: I mean it was awesome.
Speaker 5: And when you make fun of people for liking Game
Speaker 5: of Thrones or make fun of people for liking com

Speaker 5: he went to a ribbon cutting for Snookie at Snooky
Speaker 5: Store here in town and he was going berserk screaming
Speaker 5: at her.
Speaker 11: Get it right, it's the snooky shot, sneaky shot.
Speaker 5: Well, he just wanted to touch her. And it's all
Speaker 5: of these when women young twenties to mid twenties, and
Speaker 5: then one dude in his forties like jumping over the
Speaker 5: top of them trying to touch Snookie.
Speaker 1: Play me a clip.
Speaker 5: Ray and he does get her hand, he almost like
Speaker 5: grabs it. So it's on her Instagram. So I went
Speaker 5: to look at her Instagram. Have some comments from people
Speaker 5: that saw this video on her instagram, not his on hers.
Speaker 5: From l who let this guy out of his mom's basements?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 5: From Sessca, I thought that one guy was gonna s
Speaker 5: his pants, Yeah us too. From Renee lmao. I thought
Speaker 5: that one guy was gonna jump through the crowd. I
Speaker 5: was there and so nervous around him.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5: The Queen Bee says, Wow, that guy is terrifying. Kim
Speaker 5: says that one guy needs to calm the f down.
Speaker 5: Sarah says, I don't think middle aged white men were
Speaker 5: Snooky's demo, but that loud guy just proved me wrong.
Speaker 5: And then Jasmine says, wow, that one guy's ruining it
Speaker 5: for everyone. Shut up, you idiot.
Speaker 8: Oh no, oh, you.
Speaker 5: Were going hard and it wasn't equal to everybody else's
Speaker 5: going hard. Like I think, if it's like driving, and
Speaker 5: what I've been told as police officers, if you're driving
Speaker 5: with traffic and everybody's going eight over, they're not gonna
Speaker 5: pick out one single person. I don't know if that's
Speaker 5: true or not, but if you're going with traffic, they
Speaker 5: tend to let you go with traffic. That's word on
Speaker 5: the street, lunch watch. You aren't going with traffic.
Speaker 11: I've always been told, if you want to stick out
Speaker 11: in the crowd, you got to make yourself stand out.
Speaker 11: If you want to get the attach.
Speaker 5: What do you want to stick out? Four?
Speaker 11: Because I want to get her attention, Like everybody is
Speaker 11: there to see Snooky. And if you all have the
Speaker 11: same decibel level, if you have the same excitement, you're
Speaker 11: gonna be one of a thousand people that she's not
Speaker 11: gonna notice if you're gonna show her. Hey, I am
Speaker 11: here to see you and only you. I don't care
Speaker 11: about these other people.
Speaker 5: But why do you want to think you're there to
Speaker 5: see her and only her? That feels like a stalker does,
Speaker 5: like if I can't have no, but he.
Speaker 11: Can't because I am there just to see her, Like
Speaker 11: I'm not interested in talking to people in line, I'm
Speaker 11: not interested in making friends.
Speaker 5: And he's the best case scenario from this.
Speaker 11: She says, Hey, let's go get drinks after this and
Speaker 11: we become friends.
Speaker 5: And you think you acting like that is going to
Speaker 5: make someone want to be your friend.
Speaker 11: That's how snooky.
Speaker 5: We know you. You're a good guy. You as obnoxious
Speaker 5: as you are on the show, sometimes you are a
Speaker 5: good guy. But we know that because we spent a
Speaker 5: lot of time with you. If we were to meet
Speaker 5: you in that same environment, there's no way we would
Speaker 5: ever have invested time to spend with you because it
Speaker 5: comes off as very aggressive.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I thought I would have learned my lesson with
Speaker 11: Banana Johnny Bananas when I cornered him at a bar
Speaker 11: to be a friend in and I sat there for
Speaker 11: thirty minutes just talking his ear off and wouldn't let
Speaker 11: him go out of the corner of the bar. But
Speaker 11: I saw Snooky and it was just like, man, I
Speaker 11: never thought i'd see her in person, and it was
Speaker 11: like so exciting. And I saw her through the door
Speaker 11: like it was a glass door, and I saw her coming.
Speaker 8: That's why you yelled, I see Snook.
Speaker 11: I see. She wasn't even you know, she wouldn't out get.
Speaker 5: At the very beginning of this clip, Ray, just give
Speaker 5: me a little bit gain of it again, and.
Speaker 11: That's when she comes out.
Speaker 5: And once she reached out and touched her hand.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I was like high vibe, high vibe, hi vibe,
Speaker 11: and then she high fied me.
Speaker 5: Was that cold you to touch her?
Speaker 11: It was awesome. And I think it was her left
Speaker 11: hand to my left hand, if I if I'm replating
Speaker 11: it in my head. But then I kind of just
Speaker 11: kind of my hand was a lot bigger in her hand.
Speaker 11: I kind of just kind of.
Speaker 5: She squeezed her hand. Why did you like go over
Speaker 5: the top, Yeah, why your fingers over the top.
Speaker 11: Of her I'm not quite sure why I did that,
Speaker 11: but I was like, oh, I.
Speaker 5: We're all dead man stuckers, so let's play this out.
Speaker 5: Just help me. Yeah, Snooky sees you goes, that's the
Speaker 5: kind of guy I'd like to be friends with. Yes,
Speaker 5: says to you, Hey, hang out for the opening, but
Speaker 5: afterward we'll go get a drink and catch up and
Speaker 5: you can ask all your Jersey shore questions.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 5: From there, in your perfect scenario, where does it go?
Speaker 11: Ah, then it's just like, Hey, we're gonna be on
Speaker 11: vacation in the Caribbean. Do you guys want to come
Speaker 11: with us?
Speaker 5: So you're ultimate was hurt and bout you on vacation?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I thought we'd be yeah, like friends friends and
Speaker 11: she has kids, I have kids.
Speaker 3: I meet her, ud you say that to her, I'm good.
Speaker 11: We become friends, like I tell her, you know, like
Speaker 11: I mean, we grew up together, you know, Snookie started
Speaker 11: having kids, so I started having kids. Like, we're on
Speaker 11: the same parallel of life.
Speaker 5: We get you, so we get you. Other people that
Speaker 5: don't get you don't get you because it comes off
Speaker 5: as way aggressive and even scary because you're a man,
Speaker 5: and you're way bigger than everybody else there, and you're
Speaker 5: way louder.
Speaker 11: Yeah, there was one lady in a white shirt.
Speaker 8: Oh, I saw her.
Speaker 11: She had like a ear piece in like kind of
Speaker 11: production crew. And as I was holding onto Snooky's hand.
Speaker 11: If you watch the video closely, she kind of like,
Speaker 11: all right, all right.
Speaker 5: She knocks your arm back kind of yeah, say stopped
Speaker 5: high alert.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But did you see Emmitt Smith somewhere? I saw it Smith.
Speaker 5: You saw him in the hallway.
Speaker 11: I saw him in the hallway. I kind of approached
Speaker 11: to him. There's a lot of people I've.
Speaker 5: Seen Emmitt Smith when th I was for some reason
Speaker 5: sticks to me there.
Speaker 6: Where were you there backstage somewhere?
Speaker 5: Right? I don't think I think that hotel.
Speaker 11: I think it was at a hotel.
Speaker 3: Different.
Speaker 5: So just replaced Emmett for Snookie.
Speaker 11: Yes, yeah, that was kind of bad, huh. I do
Speaker 11: remember one time though, like Frank Thomas, he used to
Speaker 11: play for the White Sox. I found out which one
Speaker 11: was his hotel room.
Speaker 8: I said, no, no, no, you sat where? No, like
Speaker 8: outside his door, the door in the hallway. Yeah, I
Speaker 8: don't know.
Speaker 11: It was my cousin Andrew and I.
Speaker 5: When you're over seventeen in the story, it's really bad.
Speaker 5: If you're thirteen to seventeen. It's pretty bad if you're
Speaker 5: below that. You're a kid, got it.
Speaker 11: I was probably fifteen.
Speaker 5: Okay, you got a half pass.
Speaker 11: And we just sat there in the hallway and waited
Speaker 11: for him to come out. What's crazy is how they
Speaker 11: just let you on the same floor as the players.
Speaker 11: So I don't know how that happened.
Speaker 8: I don't think they do that anymore. You can't do that. Yeah,
Speaker 8: you just hang out in the hallway.
Speaker 5: I think mostly. Probably not, I don't think not. I
Speaker 5: don't know.
Speaker 8: And where were your parents? Your parents were like, yeah,
Speaker 8: go ahea.
Speaker 5: No, no, it was my uncle Ken, classic uncle Ken.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Andrew's dad. But I mean I didn't have like that.
Speaker 11: I didn't yell at him, but I just sat out there.
Speaker 5: They come out, Yeah, you meet him?
Speaker 11: Yeah, Superhicoe was super nice.
Speaker 9: He came out of his hotel door and saw you
Speaker 9: because he had to go get on the bus to
Speaker 9: go go to the game.
Speaker 6: And what did you say?
Speaker 8: I was ook, big Hurt, Big.
Speaker 11: Hurt, that's a nickname, and he was like, hi, guys,
Speaker 11: how's it going?
Speaker 13: That?
Speaker 5: Super cool? It was nice though, And luckily you were
Speaker 5: a kid, but snooky, you want a kid you're actually
Speaker 5: older than.
Speaker 11: Her, am I how is Snookie?
Speaker 8: Oh no, I would imagine he's older than this.
Speaker 11: I would think I thought were the same age.
Speaker 5: She's thirty six.
Speaker 11: Yeah, but I mean I felt like I played it
Speaker 11: pretty cool.
Speaker 5: There was nothing cool about that. There's passion, but there
Speaker 5: wasn't cool.
Speaker 11: Comments are kind of rough.
Speaker 5: Oh they are rough. And that was just some of them.
Speaker 11: I said, I was scaring them.
Speaker 5: You dominated her video.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well she has like seventeen million following exactly.
Speaker 11: All her people know who I am now, and they.
Speaker 5: Know they know you as a creepy.
Speaker 11: Guy, right, and they said the weird guy in the
Speaker 11: red shirt.
Speaker 5: At least they got the color of your shirt, right,
Speaker 5: that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 2: Number two.
Speaker 4: I always love when people come on and share personal
Speaker 4: tell me something good stories, and that's what happened here.
Speaker 4: Eddie had a personal story that happened with his family
Speaker 4: recently and it's great news. So to get you some
Speaker 4: good news spirit for this weekend, here's Eddie's personal tell.
Speaker 2: Me something good Number two.
Speaker 5: I do want to start with a personal tell me
Speaker 5: something good, not for me from Eddie. So I think
Speaker 5: this would be a good time to do it, Eddie,
Speaker 5: go ahead.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's pretty awesome.
Speaker 9: So back in August, my brother had a stroke and
Speaker 9: left his whole left side, you know, just immobile. He
Speaker 9: couldn't move his left arm, couldn't move, his left leg,
Speaker 9: couldn't walk, messed his brain up a little bit. Short term,
Speaker 9: his memory, he'd get memory loss stuff like that. Well,
Speaker 9: through like a lot of therapy, through a lot lot
Speaker 9: of hard, hard work, and a lot of money.
Speaker 8: He is going back to work today.
Speaker 6: Wow, that's awesome.
Speaker 9: And so he can walk, he can run. He says
Speaker 9: it's about ninety percent able to run. He says he's
Speaker 9: a little he can't feel a little bit of his
Speaker 9: left foot. But he said other than that, man, he's like,
Speaker 9: I'm ready to go back. And his bosses are so
Speaker 9: excited to have him back. And he goes into work
Speaker 9: at three o'clock today. He's so excited.
Speaker 5: PM.
Speaker 8: Yeah he does. He's a late shifter.
Speaker 5: Oh dang.
Speaker 8: So he goes from three to eleven.
Speaker 5: And how is he when you talk to him? Does
Speaker 5: he feel normal again?
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's a little nervous.
Speaker 9: I think the only thing he said that he's really
Speaker 9: nervous about is he gets distracted easily. So when he's
Speaker 9: getting ready for work, you know, he may think it's
Speaker 9: going to take him twenty minutes to get ready, and
Speaker 9: it takes him like an hour.
Speaker 8: So things like that. He's like, I have a coworker.
Speaker 9: He's going going to depend on him to tell me, like,
Speaker 9: hey man, you're kind of you're getting distracted, Like let's
Speaker 9: stay on task.
Speaker 5: I remember when he had the stroke and you were like, no,
Speaker 5: they're think he can bounce back, and I was like,
Speaker 5: how he can't even walk.
Speaker 9: He was telling me yesterday that he went to his
Speaker 9: general practitioner practitioner and he said that they are all
Speaker 9: amazed because they looked at the MRI and the bleed
Speaker 9: that he had in his head was pretty severe. That
Speaker 9: a lot of doctors are like, we did not expect
Speaker 9: you to recover as well and this quickly.
Speaker 5: Well it make him feel better. I don't feel my
Speaker 5: foot all the time either. Really, yeah, it's from different injuries,
Speaker 5: so you know we all have that issue. Am taking
Speaker 5: those anti inflammatories like prescription Maybe he needed those?
Speaker 8: Really? Is that that work?
Speaker 5: It's crazy how much it helps, Like I've hurt my
Speaker 5: This is about Eddie's brother I'm happy to see.
Speaker 8: No, no, no, keep going, keep going.
Speaker 5: If you can ever get like a prescription and inflammatory,
Speaker 5: I don't even know what you need it for, but
Speaker 5: I take it.
Speaker 7: I thought that Eddie was saying that six pills that you.
Speaker 5: Ad fill equals six little advill equals one prescription ad
Speaker 5: like I.
Speaker 6: Be PROFI correct, but this is a different.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is I don't even know what it is,
Speaker 5: but it's an inflammatory. And I go in because I'd have
Speaker 5: MRI on my foot and the tendons down in it
Speaker 5: because it's been injured for nine months. And he's like,
Speaker 5: and he works with the pro team, He's like, why
Speaker 5: don't you try these an inflammatories? Prescribed him took one
Speaker 5: till twenty two, twenty two the extra do you'll buy something.
Speaker 5: I'm really happy to hear about your brother.
Speaker 8: Thank you man, We're all really really It's crazy how much.
Speaker 5: That he's been able to improve based on how bad
Speaker 5: it was at first, because that would have thought he
Speaker 5: never was going to get better.
Speaker 14: No.
Speaker 9: I mean he was on a walker and he was
Speaker 9: talking about remembering going up little steps. Just trying to
Speaker 9: get up one step was so hard for him. So
Speaker 9: for him to be doing this.
Speaker 13: It's pretty amazing to the support he's had from you
Speaker 13: and your family, and then also his strength and resilience
Speaker 13: because so much of that is like if doctors are
Speaker 13: seeing one thing and then there's it's the recovery is
Speaker 13: happening so much faster.
Speaker 6: That's his determination.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's pretty awesome.
Speaker 5: Probably heard the story about my foot too and thought
Speaker 5: he'd really gets fired. Oh yeah, yeah, sure, you've been
Speaker 5: talking about that everywhere, of course. Yeah, it's been pretty cool.
Speaker 5: A right happy to hear that. Great, great, great way
Speaker 5: to start Rascal Flats and later that'd be cool too.
Speaker 2: It's the best bits of the week with more.
Speaker 4: Number two continuing the good News train, Rascal Flats were
Speaker 4: in studio this week in so wild that this was
Speaker 4: their first time in five years that all three of
Speaker 4: them were together for the very first time in our studio.
Speaker 3: Like of all the places they could choose, they.
Speaker 4: Chose our studio to be the first time they fully
Speaker 4: reunited as a band, and that was a really special
Speaker 4: moment to get to experience and lots of feelings associated
Speaker 4: with that, and Bobby made sure to ask them how
Speaker 4: they're feeling about the entire situation of them reuniting and
Speaker 4: going back on tour together.
Speaker 3: And we got all those details.
Speaker 4: So very very fun stuff in studio this week with
Speaker 4: Rascal Flats, and it was cool to see them all together.
Speaker 3: If you want to see all the photos, if.
Speaker 4: You want to watch the interview, but if you don't
Speaker 4: and you're here and you're already listening, this is the
Speaker 4: interview with Rascal Flats in the studio for the first
Speaker 4: time in five.
Speaker 2: Years, Number one on the Bobby Bones Show.
Speaker 3: Now, Rascal Flex, we'll look.
Speaker 5: At you guys back together? What a site. You know.
Speaker 5: I've been screaming about this for about a year now,
Speaker 5: and I don't take credit for it, but I take
Speaker 5: credit for it. Congratulations, I got you back together. Let's go.
Speaker 5: I'm not getting any percentage though. Let's let's start with you.
Speaker 8: Gary.
Speaker 5: When was the call made that we should do this
Speaker 5: thing again.
Speaker 14: It was a couple of months ago, I think, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 14: I think my wife called you and said you've got
Speaker 14: to get him.
Speaker 1: Out of the Yeah.
Speaker 15: Allison called and I said, okay, all right, let's roll.
Speaker 5: So was it we should do this. Let's feel it
Speaker 5: out and see if we can everything can align or
Speaker 5: and Joe Dona'll come to you or was it like, yeah,
Speaker 5: we feel good, let's go.
Speaker 16: A little bit of all that. You know, our management
Speaker 16: talked about it. We leaned on them because they know
Speaker 16: way more than we do with how the landscape is today.
Speaker 16: I mean it's been five years, you know, and yeah,
Speaker 16: and they felt like next year in February through April
Speaker 16: would be good.
Speaker 5: Did you miss it?
Speaker 8: Everybody?
Speaker 5: Did you miss each other?
Speaker 8: Did you miss wow?
Speaker 14: What?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 5: What'd you miss?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 1: I mean I miss playing music.
Speaker 14: I miss some of my most favorite memories in my life,
Speaker 14: my adult life is being on stage with these guys.
Speaker 14: So yes, when it was yanked away from us in
Speaker 14: twenty twenty, pandemic hit and everybody was kind of at
Speaker 14: a loss. Not to be able to put a proper
Speaker 14: exclamation point on our career really hurt.
Speaker 1: And so you know, I've said it my entire life.
Speaker 14: Gary's one of the best singers I've ever heard, and
Speaker 14: it's really sucks not to be standing next to that
Speaker 14: every night. So I think it was a perfect opportunity
Speaker 14: for us to go out and celebrate twenty five wonderful
Speaker 14: years together. And I'm looking forward to seeing our fans
Speaker 14: because they've given us more than we could have ever
Speaker 14: imagined or hoped for.
Speaker 5: So the tour has not called it farewell tour, which,
Speaker 5: by the way, you know we're doing two days with
Speaker 5: you guys on this show. So tomorrow tickets are on
Speaker 5: sale and go to Rascal flights dot com get tickets
Speaker 5: at ten am Eastern. W'armind you tomorrow as well. But
Speaker 5: it's not called that. Hey, this is our last run.
Speaker 5: This is called the Life is a Highway tour. So
Speaker 5: maybe we're not. Maybe this isn't a farewell Gary.
Speaker 11: I don't know, are you exactly I wanted? You got
Speaker 11: us together?
Speaker 15: How you're our agent?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 11: You made me buy a hat when I came in.
Speaker 11: How much it was seventy five dollars? We got to
Speaker 11: go work?
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 15: You try to say this about hurricane relief and I
Speaker 15: just want to put it in his pocket.
Speaker 5: It's ridiculous. That's hurricane relief y. So maybe this this
Speaker 5: thing just is awesome and you love doing it. Maybe
Speaker 5: you just keep going. Is there a chance this is
Speaker 5: not the end?
Speaker 14: I think that's why we didn't call it a farewell tour.
Speaker 14: We're going to see how these twenty two shows go.
Speaker 14: We're gonna stick our toe back in the water, and
Speaker 14: if the fans seem to love it and we feel
Speaker 14: like there's a demand there, who knows what will happen.
Speaker 14: Right now, the focus is on February and March and
Speaker 14: next year.
Speaker 5: Have you, Jodana, have yourhearst at all? All three of
Speaker 5: you guys? Have you done anything musically yet?
Speaker 1: You know what?

Speaker 16: last Tuesday, and it went great, the three new guys
Speaker 16: and he's.
Speaker 1: Off for you your body, the guy that's taken my places.
Speaker 16: I was hoping you're just Ai this stuff like holograms,
Speaker 16: but no. But the rehearsals went great and it was
Speaker 16: nice to be back with Jay and our drummer Jim Riley,
Speaker 16: who's been with us for twenty five years the whole
Speaker 16: time he was there, and just to play through the
Speaker 16: music again. I mean it's you know, it's a lot
Speaker 16: of music and blessed to have some songs that I
Speaker 16: think were impactful.
Speaker 5: Rush people where you rusted you Oh yeah, But I
Speaker 5: mean you guys have played I know, Gary been doing shows.
Speaker 5: You haven't seen you do shows, but it's.
Speaker 1: Been playing keys most of the time.
Speaker 14: The getting getting my fingers back on the bass again
Speaker 14: and into that music was It was surreal and frightening.
Speaker 5: Did you practice before you guys, did your your deal
Speaker 5: together or did you just show up and be like,
Speaker 5: we'll figure out as we go. We've done this a
Speaker 5: lot many times.
Speaker 1: The night before I.
Speaker 14: Kind of listened back through the music and kind of
Speaker 14: played around for this is the first time the three
Speaker 14: of us have been together in the same room in
Speaker 14: five years.
Speaker 5: Wait, so rehearsal. You weren't together at the same time.
Speaker 16: No, Gary, wasn't there Actually classic kicking all right, perfectly
Speaker 16: classic Gary.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, he couldn't make it.
Speaker 16: But working through musically is really what we need to
Speaker 16: do and hire those new band guys and it worked
Speaker 16: out great. But uh it, like Jay was saying, yeah,
Speaker 16: I mean, I've got a lot of cobwebs in these hands.
Speaker 16: You know, it's been a while. I've kind of gotten
Speaker 16: away from music for you know, a lot of different reasons.
Speaker 16: But I'm back and I'm definitely trying to practice as
Speaker 16: much as I can at the house. And my son
Speaker 16: Jagger is sixteen. He's eaten alive with music and he's
Speaker 16: actually gotten me back into you know, jamming with him,
Speaker 16: which has been fabulous.
Speaker 5: Gary, do you practice singing at all?
Speaker 8: Are you good?
Speaker 5: You know, because I'd sing all the time?
Speaker 1: Good?
Speaker 11: I do?
Speaker 1: I really?
Speaker 5: I do know? You literally do?
Speaker 11: I realize?
Speaker 5: Like Gary's been at my house and he's like singing,
Speaker 5: and I'm like, wow, he really does what I would
Speaker 5: do if I could sing like that. It's all the time.
Speaker 5: Does your wife ever really say, hey, yo, bro, we're good?
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah all the time. Yeah, Like we got it,

Speaker 15: So I'll just you know, I'm not going to stop
Speaker 15: him from doing what he's what He's given us. And
Speaker 15: you know, we're so excited to see all the fans
Speaker 15: and all be I mean, the demand has been crazy,
Speaker 15: so it's been Uh, it's going to be a blast.
Speaker 5: What's this like for you three guys sitting here? I
Speaker 5: didn't realize was the first time in five years, because
Speaker 5: I think I'd be a little nervous if we hadn't
Speaker 5: done this. And we're like, let's say me Amy and
Speaker 5: lunchbox at him together together twenty something years.
Speaker 15: Well, Yeah.
Speaker 7: After they said that, I thought, I can't imagine not
Speaker 7: seeing y'all or being in the same room for five
Speaker 7: years and then suddenly at an interview or coming on
Speaker 7: the show, this being the first time y'all are sitting
Speaker 7: together and us doing that. Like I'm trying to think
Speaker 7: how I would feel little nervous driving up here.
Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. He helped me very honest about that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 16: I missed being around These guys are two of the
Speaker 16: funniest people I've ever been around in my life. And
Speaker 16: just so many memories, so many wonderful memories. And it
Speaker 16: hasn't all been rosy. I'm not gonna, you know, sugarcoat it,
Speaker 16: but it's it's so good to be back in the
Speaker 16: same them together and see Gary and hug him and
Speaker 16: be together again. It's really special.
Speaker 5: Like what do you like? What songs? Do you even
Speaker 5: like to play? You have so many? Like what's so
Speaker 5: because I think I like the ballads?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I like the feel ballads?
Speaker 15: Yeah I do too, well, We've got plenty.
Speaker 5: You do have a lot.
Speaker 14: We had to force ourselves to put up tempo singles
Speaker 14: out so everybody wouldn't fall asleep, and they came to
Speaker 14: a show.
Speaker 15: A medley of mids and a medley of ballance.
Speaker 8: So let me good night.
Speaker 5: Let me ask this extremely cliche question, then, what's the
Speaker 5: one song you're looking forward to playing live? I want
Speaker 5: a different answer from all.
Speaker 8: Three of you.
Speaker 14: Let's go to you first, Jay uh Bless the Broken Road.
Speaker 14: It's always been one of my favorites. I think it
Speaker 14: showcases are blend in our harm and he's just about
Speaker 14: as well as any song we've ever done.
Speaker 5: That's a good one. It's going to be a hit.
Speaker 5: Gary's the Highway. Oh he took my answer that song
Speaker 5: and I and it's been discussed, but I think for
Speaker 5: younger listeners or fans of your music to hear that
Speaker 5: song and they go, that song is awesome. It's from cars.
Speaker 5: It's a big hit. It was never actually a radio song, huh.
Speaker 5: It just it pops so hard that then people just
Speaker 5: started playing it randomly and is now maybe your most
Speaker 5: streamed song ever.
Speaker 14: I think it started popping off on TikTok and then
Speaker 14: it just started going from there.
Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting how you talk about TikTok.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw you when you use that accent.
Speaker 5: Were you just singing with the Highway.
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, and uh, Tom Cochran just got inducted into
Speaker 15: the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and so they called
Speaker 15: me and asked me that if I'd go out there,
Speaker 15: and thought I did, and he killed it.
Speaker 1: He named his farm flats Farm that he boughted.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, because he made so much money off
Speaker 5: you guys. Yeah, I wonder if.
Speaker 15: We just kept saying you're welcome all night, just you're welcome. Tom.
Speaker 5: You think he made more money off you guys doing
Speaker 5: it than him doing it?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely helped.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, dang, that's pretty cool. Yeah, do you guys mechanical?
Speaker 5: Do you guys make mechanical ORLTI off that a little bit,
Speaker 5: but mostly goes to him.
Speaker 14: It mostly goes to him. We get the sound exchange money.
Speaker 15: But it's in Canadians. It's loonies and tunies and that's
Speaker 15: what what the conversion is on that.
Speaker 6: Y'all know what year? That was? Just the fun like,
Speaker 6: what year was it?
Speaker 5: Cars?
Speaker 1: Two thousand and six?
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, good for you, that's the first.
Speaker 15: You know, you know what year he wrote it? Eight
Speaker 15: eighty six, ninety one that late Yeah, I didn't really like.
Speaker 5: I thought it was like much younger than that. Okay,
Speaker 5: I have more questions about this because I like the
Speaker 5: dynamic here. We're back together, a bunch of friends. You
Speaker 5: got like all the Grammys, you have all the number
Speaker 5: one songs. What else is there to do? Or is
Speaker 5: what else to do? Just to celebrate what you've done?
Speaker 16: Oh?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 14: You know what what I think eluded us that we
Speaker 14: never were able to take home was Entertainer of the Year.
Speaker 14: All those years that we sold, you know, wonderful amounts
Speaker 14: of tickets on all those tours, we never really took
Speaker 14: that trophy home at the ACMs or the CMA's sore spot.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard.
Speaker 5: It's hard you guys were you guys are the biggest
Speaker 5: thing in pop, not only in pop but country at
Speaker 5: the same time.
Speaker 14: Will it's it's I wouldn't say sore spot because we've
Speaker 14: been so blessed, but it's the one thing that I
Speaker 14: wish we would have been able to have achieved in
Speaker 14: our career.
Speaker 5: Do you think it's because there was jealousy because you
Speaker 5: guys had transcended where your rightful place was and you
Speaker 5: didn't try to You didn't try to be this massive
Speaker 5: pop sensation. Do you think there was jealousy and so
Speaker 5: I bet you were held back from that.
Speaker 14: There was a lot of hair envy. Let's let's be honest.
Speaker 14: Our hair was on point back then, wasn't Gray, you know, magnificent?
Speaker 15: The politics of the business, who you know, who knows
Speaker 15: all we can do is we're in charge of trying
Speaker 15: to make and write and record great music and after that,
Speaker 15: who knows? You know? And for me, I think like
Speaker 15: Album of the Year two, like you know, in two
Speaker 15: thousand and six, and we outsold everybody that put out
Speaker 15: a record in any genre in the entire world.
Speaker 14: That's one of my favorite memories. Sitting beside Gary at
Speaker 14: the Grammys in Los Angele was during a commercial break.
Speaker 14: He leaned over to me. It was just a moment
Speaker 14: that he and I shared together, and he whispered, he said, look,
Speaker 14: there's jay Z, there's Beyonce, there's Lady Ganga. And I
Speaker 14: was like, yeah, this is pretty incredible. He said, Now
Speaker 14: I think about this this year, we've sold more records
Speaker 14: than all of these people in this building.
Speaker 1: And it gave me chills.
Speaker 14: And it was just he and I sharing that moment
Speaker 14: together because you know, two boys growing up in Columbus, Ohio.
Speaker 14: Who would have ever dreamed that moment would come.
Speaker 5: And you still didn't win Album of the Year.
Speaker 15: No, no, you can get a performance, but Paisley played ticks.
Speaker 11: I'd like to kick you for true story, We're like,
Speaker 11: what hurts the most? We couldn't even get a performance.
Speaker 8: That's funny.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was in therapys was representing Country Let's go yesterday.
Speaker 5: I was in therapy talking about how I am. I
Speaker 5: have a very sore spot. I understand I've been blessed
Speaker 5: and all the same stuff you guys just said blah
Speaker 5: blah blah, but I am like so irritated that I
Speaker 5: haven't hosted the ACMs or CMAS yet. And I've been
Speaker 5: very close, like three times, and on ACMs now I'm
Speaker 5: like second Banana, Reba does it. I'm there with her
Speaker 5: the whole time, but I'm not the host. But I
Speaker 5: think both can exist where I'm really irritated and yeah,
Speaker 5: and and I think it's human nature, it's.
Speaker 15: And you would kill it. So I think it's it's time.
Speaker 5: But I mean, it's it's weird that I that you
Speaker 5: would think, Wow, Rascal fights say they have done it
Speaker 5: all all the hits yet still when I asked the question,
Speaker 5: I kind of wanted to see where the human part
Speaker 5: of you went, like what is there to do? And
Speaker 5: it was, Oh, we didn't have Entertainer of the Year,
Speaker 5: and I don't think anybody would have ever even known
Speaker 5: you didn't.
Speaker 6: Yeah, me too, Just roll with it.
Speaker 16: It's pretty funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah we did.
Speaker 8: Yeah, speech was awesome.
Speaker 1: The Mandela effect. We won. We want we did. We
Speaker 1: won it several times.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm gonna ask this question in a sensitive way
Speaker 5: because I said some stuff and I said, I hope
Speaker 5: you guys tour. I've been saying it forever, but I said,
Speaker 5: when you do do this tour, don't put out any
Speaker 5: new music for a bit. What are you guys doing
Speaker 5: doing new music? I just gotta be honest.
Speaker 8: I said that I want to come forth, and I
Speaker 8: was like, we want you to tour.
Speaker 5: You have to get back together like we demand it,
Speaker 5: but don't put out new music. When you do it,
Speaker 5: let's celebrate you. Then after that tour you put out
Speaker 5: new music.
Speaker 14: Well, as you well know, it gets harder and harder
Speaker 14: the longer you're together and the longer you were touring,
Speaker 14: because you compete against yourself there are so many great
Speaker 14: songs in the catalog to play on radio that putting
Speaker 14: another new one out, just to put a new one
Speaker 14: out is seems a little an exercise and futility.
Speaker 1: So you said you're not putting a new STU, We're not.
Speaker 5: We're perfect. Yeah, the only way I would say that,
Speaker 5: I think you need to after this tour. But I
Speaker 5: think this is about the celebration and you guys getting
Speaker 5: back together.
Speaker 15: Yeah, and you know it's really to celebrate the fans
Speaker 15: forgiving us absolute career. I mean, this is the silver
Speaker 15: you believe. And we're not just talking about our hair color.
Speaker 15: I'm talking about five years.
Speaker 5: What's like the moment you look back at jodn have
Speaker 5: you guys' career and it could be at your height,
Speaker 5: or it could be when you first started to pop
Speaker 5: or when you first played your first show together that
Speaker 5: you look back and you're like, man, if there was
Speaker 5: like one moment they show, like, show me a Rascal
Speaker 5: Flats moment they showed this moment, what would it be?
Speaker 16: Well, I mean it's like a top ten list for that,
Speaker 16: you know, But in all honesty, I truly mean this.
Speaker 16: Our work with Vanderbilt Children's Hospital through the years has
Speaker 16: been extraordinary. I mean, that's that's our legacy, and just
Speaker 16: being able to have a platform, to be able to
Speaker 16: raise the kind of money we're able to raise for
Speaker 16: the hospital, and to meet so many amazing families, so
Speaker 16: many amazing children. There's some sad situations obviously, but a
Speaker 16: lot of positive ones too. For me, that's like the
Speaker 16: ultimate you.
Speaker 5: Know, do you guys ever do?
Speaker 8: Letterman?
Speaker 16: Yeah, the coldest stage and in any theater in the.
Speaker 14: He picked the most random song off of our record
Speaker 14: because he didn't like any of our singles. He picked
Speaker 14: up this I Think Still Feels Good is the one
Speaker 14: that he wanted and played an album cut on the
Speaker 14: It was the title the album to.
Speaker 5: This but on the show what about Leno? Do you
Speaker 5: ever do Lenno? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, right after Joe Don showed his rear end.
Speaker 5: Yeah, tell me that I don't know me I got
Speaker 5: us on where was your.
Speaker 1: Got it?
Speaker 8: Got it?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 15: We did all of them, Conan, I mean, I don't
Speaker 15: There wasn't any that we didn't do.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I've still got the plaque from Leno that says, hey,
Speaker 14: Rascal Flats more Butts More Showers.
Speaker 5: They gave you a plactice to day. Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 5: better than this end of the year.
Speaker 14: You just want that one hanging right in my living
Speaker 14: room the butt.
Speaker 5: Okay, well, I'll just use an example like FGL. Eventually
Speaker 5: they'll get back together. Eventually they don't like each other
Speaker 5: right now, yeah, but they'll get back together at some
Speaker 5: point because they miss it or they miss like I
Speaker 5: don't know, do you recommend that they like somehow try
Speaker 5: to keep some sort of relationship because eventually it's going
Speaker 5: to happen regardless. You know.
Speaker 1: It's interesting.
Speaker 14: I've had a chance to sit down with the Restless
Speaker 14: Road guys and several different duos over the years, and
Speaker 14: especially the past four years, and my advice is always
Speaker 14: to nurture your relationship and take care of it first,
Speaker 14: because a lot of crap from the outside can get
Speaker 14: in and convoluted, and if you don't stay tight and
Speaker 14: you don't stay honest with each other and care about
Speaker 14: each other, you run the danger of letting the business
Speaker 14: tear you apart. And it's just the truth of it.
Speaker 14: So with Gary and I, it's a little different. We're families.
Speaker 14: We're families, so we've always found a way to stay
Speaker 14: connected and always found a way to care about each other,
Speaker 14: and I think we found a jode on somebody that
Speaker 14: feels as close as family. So you know, it's not
Speaker 14: all a better Roses. When you're in a band for
Speaker 14: twenty plus years and you've got three distinct personalities and
Speaker 14: different opinions, you're gonna have disagreements.
Speaker 1: But I feel like we did a very good.
Speaker 14: Job for the most of the amount of time we
Speaker 14: were together of trying to put our personal pursuits to
Speaker 14: the side and serving Rascal Flats as a whole. And
Speaker 14: I think that's why we were able to have that longevity. Now,
Speaker 14: we never had somebody that cared enough about us to say,
Speaker 14: why don't you guys take a year off, recharge yourselves,
Speaker 14: go and do some things that you guys want to
Speaker 14: do personally, get those out of the way, and then
Speaker 14: come back together in a more healthy environment. We got
Speaker 14: on the machine and the machine did not stop. So
Speaker 14: I've been grateful for the past few years because it's
Speaker 14: made me appreciate what we were able to do together
Speaker 14: and what kind of ride we were actually on together.
Speaker 14: And now I can come back to this and go,
Speaker 14: this is really really special, and it's a big part
Speaker 14: of my life that I've missed extremely over the last
Speaker 14: few years. But I'm glad we had this time because
Speaker 14: Gary got to do what he should have been doing,
Speaker 14: his own music, his own shows. Joe Don concentrated on
Speaker 14: his personal health and as well being, and I'm so
Speaker 14: proud of him. I have to say that what this
Speaker 14: man has come through on the other side of it
Speaker 14: is remarkable, and he's a completely different person, and I
Speaker 14: really really am proud of what he's been able to do.
Speaker 14: And then I got to do some things that I've
Speaker 14: always wanted to do. I always felt like I would
Speaker 14: be good on the other side of the business, and
Speaker 14: I've been able to try that with Red Street. So
Speaker 14: I think all of us are stronger now and we
Speaker 14: have a greater appreciation for it, maybe than we did
Speaker 14: in twenty twenty.
Speaker 5: Joe, I think I saw a tweet from you. It
Speaker 5: was like, hey, Sobriety, I liked it. Whatever it was,
Speaker 5: Oh thank you. Yeah, I remember liking it. Pushing a
Speaker 5: little hard. So what is your situation now? How long
Speaker 5: you've been sober?
Speaker 16: Three years? And it's kind of crazy. For my birthday,
Speaker 16: September thirteenth is my actual sober date. As well. So
Speaker 16: we got three years and it's it's different, I'll tell
Speaker 16: you that. Grateful to be sober today and present and
Speaker 16: like and I never dreamed that was possible, and I
Speaker 16: wouldn't have been able to do that without this time off.
Speaker 16: I mean, this past five years, I've just you know,
Speaker 16: I've needed it for a long time and it was
Speaker 16: just finally time and some really great friends in Nashville
Speaker 16: got me the help I needed. And I'm forever grateful.
Speaker 5: Once Gary was in my house and he spit in
Speaker 5: a mountain dewken. First he cut the top off, Yeah,
Speaker 5: like the hillbilly he is, Yeah, with the pocket knife.
Speaker 5: And then he was there for a bit and he
Speaker 5: did spinning in the can, spend the can, spind the can,
Speaker 5: just left it And like a day later, my wife's like,
Speaker 5: why is there a mountain dew can with a bunch
Speaker 5: of like dip spit in it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just told her.
Speaker 15: You should have told her you have an issue that
Speaker 15: you haven't been telling her.
Speaker 5: Oh, that's the greatest memorabilia in Rascal Flat's history.
Speaker 8: Like I have on your man you.
Speaker 1: Carry spit tune.
Speaker 5: I think people don't understand how a country you guys
Speaker 5: are at times because again you mentioned the hair earlier,
Speaker 5: like you guys were pretty.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think there were a lot of years you
Speaker 14: mentioned it where people didn't know what to make of us.
Speaker 14: We were a little on the pop side and scared
Speaker 14: some folks. But when we'd get into a conference room
Speaker 14: on the radio tour, people would I remember this, people
Speaker 14: would drill us and they'd go like, you guys don't
Speaker 14: really know country, and then we'd start singing Merle Hagers.
Speaker 5: Oh yours hillbilly as anybody around here. It's just all
Speaker 5: the hair. Was like, Wow, you guys are so pretty.
Speaker 11: I feel pretty with our hair.
Speaker 1: Look at that. That's pretty right there.
Speaker 5: Yeah that's me. That's a cutout. I like to look
Speaker 5: at myself. Can I Okay? So here's all I want
Speaker 5: to say. Rascal Flats back on tour, starting off in February.
Speaker 5: When do you start practicing together? When do you start
Speaker 5: doing the rehearsal?
Speaker 1: Boy in January?
Speaker 14: Any Pyro, Yeah, we've taken all of kisses stuff away
Speaker 14: from them now that they're retired, all the bills and whistles.
Speaker 5: Have you done any of that? You're gonna play all
Speaker 5: the hits? Right? Can you get all the hits in.
Speaker 1: We figured we'd do a whole bunch of new material and.
Speaker 5: The letter the Letterman Show. Can you play all the
Speaker 5: hits in one concert? All the number ones.
Speaker 14: I started kind of scratching out a set list the
Speaker 14: other day and it was fun because we've been away
Speaker 14: from it from a minute for a minute, so some
Speaker 14: new things occurred to me that I never really saw before,
Speaker 14: and they were sitting right in front of me. So
Speaker 14: I'm excited for us to get back in and start
Speaker 14: hammering away at it. And I hope Gary doesn't get
Speaker 14: mad at me for putting too many songs in a
Speaker 14: row that he has to scream.
Speaker 5: What's the hardest song to sing for you? Gary? Oh?
Speaker 5: Every night you have to sing it, and it's but
Speaker 5: either it gets difficult because you're doing it night after night,
Speaker 5: or it's just hard.
Speaker 13: To do it.
Speaker 15: Once I melt would be one.
Speaker 10: Yeah, probably, that's always for sure.
Speaker 16: That's one of the highest ones.
Speaker 10: That's why we don't do it live.
Speaker 16: But they're all demanding.
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't, you mean we haven't we are
Speaker 1: doing that?
Speaker 5: You can do that? Rolling Stones and they get people
Speaker 5: on the back to play this stuff. Yeah, and just
Speaker 5: like do that. You ever heard somebody impersonate you or
Speaker 5: start to sing like you and they.
Speaker 1: Sound just like you?
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 11: Shame does.
Speaker 5: But like you know the guy from Journey, Oh yeah,
Speaker 5: he sounds the guy. This things now sounds just like yeah,
Speaker 5: ever heard anybody online?
Speaker 14: This thing is just like hey, you know what the
Speaker 14: drummer Dean Cashtronovo is even better than our now is
Speaker 14: and sing the Journey Oh yeah, you know him? Yeah
Speaker 14: yeah yeah, as a major like I wouldn't have known
Speaker 14: that unless I, well he was. He's been in Journey
Speaker 14: for a long time. We did a Crossroads with him
Speaker 14: and also the supergroup that I put together back in
Speaker 14: twenty twenty. He played drums on that record and it
Speaker 14: was remarkable to hear him sing the Journey stuff. I
Speaker 14: mean they offered him the gig before Rnell and he
Speaker 14: was like, no, it's too hard on a singer.
Speaker 5: I want to tell everybody, tickets go on sell tomorrow,
Speaker 5: get them and so yeah, get the Life as a
