Amy, what's going on 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:19.880 with you? 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.480 Well, so I had to fill out some paperwork yesterday 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.480 and it's something that I've been thinking about probably for 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.080 the last year now that I've been divorced. Anytime I 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.800 have to fill out something where it asks me my status, 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:37.840 it'll say single, married, divorced, widowed. 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.799 And interesting, you're single and divorced? 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.600 Are you divorced? You're not single? It's single only if 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.760 you've never been married, right, yes it is. 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.080 But also at some of these places that I'm filling 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.040 this out and like, what what is it your business? 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.919 I am get angry and girl, well, I guess I. 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.919 Just don't know why that's necessary information. And then every 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:01.080 time it's this reminder of like divorced, you know, and 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.480 I can't imagine if I was widowed. Widowed yeah that 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.880 you bring it up like it stirs up emotion. So 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.280 I don't know if they're just as part of collecting data. 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.519 I mean, I think at certain appointments it helps know, okay, 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.799 if you're married, or do you have insurance or how 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.120 many dependents, like all that sort of stuff. But some 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.040 stuff I'm filling out, I'm like, this is not necessary. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:20.960 I could just put single and be done with it. 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.119 But then I'm like, well, I guess I've better divorced. 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:25.720 Yet they have a nunia. 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:29.200 Box y, I'm gonna add that you're. 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.639 In you nya in the drawbox and check it yourself.

And man, 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.640 just the other day, I reached for my phone, I 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.280 thought about my dad and I almost called him, which 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.080 was bizarre, and I stopped myself in the middle of 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:57.560 being like, oh my gosh. 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:58.960 Do you normally call them at the time that you 0:03:59.000 --> 0:03:59.720 were about to call him? 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.120 Yeah, that would be the time when I'm like on 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.960 the way home, driving home from work, and I'm just like, oh, 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.720 you know what, I saw one of those Volkswagen electric 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.320 buses or whatever, and we had talked about that.

Every once in a while it's still kind 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.920 of sad, but mostly most of those sad ones turn 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:36.880 into good ones. 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.080 At least mine have like the memories. 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.600 Just because you're like, you've mourned, and it's kind of 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.839 a reminder in a good way, more than a reminder 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:47.839 of they're not here anymore. 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.960 Sure, but it'll shift. 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.680 Right, Yeah, I feel like grief is always there. But 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.720 it's sort of like the analogy they have the grief backpack, 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.440 and sometimes the backpack's a little bit heavier, and sometimes 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.120 the backpack's light, but it's always. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.479 I've never heard of that.

You're welcome. 0:06:52.960 --> 0:07:04.160 Welcome A question to be. 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:09.720 He loot Bobby Bones. 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.160 I recently said something to my boyfriend of more than 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.520 a year about him liking a bunch of racy pics 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.320 of a girl we went to school with. He said 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.640 it wasn't a big deal, He's just being nice. But 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.200 then he made his Instagram account private, so I can't 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:24.200 see his posts anymore. 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:26.200 I haven't said anything. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.679 To him about it, but I feel like he's acting 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.200 suspicious and trying to hide stuff. 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.040 Is this a red flag? Should I let it go? 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:31.920 Or ask him? What's up? 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.680 Signed Instagram girlfriend? Well, this is a weird one because 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.240 it's like an idiot move followed up by a more 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.000 idiotic move. Usually, when you do an idiot move, you 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:44.120 go oops, got caught. Don't do that anymore. You don't 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.000 double down on doing stupid stuff. 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.120 Yeah, so I would say red flag, but maybe he. 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.960 Really believes that he didn't do anything better. 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.440 But it's so stupid that it's like, I'm almost like, 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.640 this is so stupid of a second decision he made 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.040 that maybe he's not up to anything, shade, he's just 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:57.520 an idiot. 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.280 Well, look go back and read his response when she 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:00.840 brought it up. What did you say? 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:00.960 No? 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:02.360 He blocked, he no, no. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.040 No, I know what he did. But he said something 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:05.720 to her like didn't he say like you? 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:07.480 He said it wasn't a big deal and he would just. 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.800 Be a nice Okay, So when you tell someone if 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.320 they're having feelings about something that is not a big deal, 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.520 like that's he's discounting how she's feeling about it. 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.280 Correct, But that's not the question. The question is is 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.480 he up to no good? Yeah? I think it depends 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:26.400 your age. First of all, if you're between seventeen and 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.360 twenty four, he can just be an idiot. And sometimes 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:30.720 you got to grow out of the idiot stage if 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.679 you're a dude. Also, if you're in a relationship, just 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.400 as it heads up to guys, don't be liking pictures 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.880 of anybody in your life that's opposite sect in a bikini. 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:40.640 Yeah, you don't need to worry about being nice to them. 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.199 Yeah, Yeah, it's not in a bikini just because of 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.480 what it might bring you just not worth it, So 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.400 I would say, what's wrong? Boosting's almost confident. This is 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.319 just a double it's such a double stupid though. I 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.920 think the person's just stupid and not shady, because to 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.760 be shady you got to somewhat have a strategy, and 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.160 strategy when you get copy and stupid, it's not to 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.440 be more stupid. He also hats to be blocking you 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:08.280 to be like prove a point. But definitely Redflex said 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:09.960 he's stupid. Why do you want to be somebody so stupid? 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.320 That is so funny. He said he was just doing 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:13.040 it to be nice. 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.880 But also I can see like an idiot dude being 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:17.920 like I just liked her. I just i'd see her 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.440 if I saw our work or something. That's gonna be nice, idiot, 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.760 But I'm not sticking up for him. That's you need 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.640 to figure out if he's an idiot or if he's shady, 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:28.120 because I could be convinced either way, but it is 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.800 not good either way, and you need to figure out 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:31.920 which of the two quickly. 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.080 Y'all don't like photos like that of other people right now? 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.400 Oh are you kidding me. We like to be married. No, 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.960 we just look at him, don't we us? 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:42.679 Don't we? 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:42.920 Uh? 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:47.560 But I don't like him? No, that make me vomit. Disgusting. 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:50.480 Yeah, something's up. Just figure out if he's an idiot 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.120 or if he's shady. Either way, probably not your dude. 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.040 If he's going step one, step two like that? 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:55.920 All right, close it up. 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:02.199 On the Bobby Bone Show, Trew, is this the week 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:02.640 we're doing it? 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:02.959 Away? 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:04.000 This is it?

It's all 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:16.360 we care about right here. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.640 I like three this week at two I think was 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:22.560 everybody get tipped. 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.400 Yeah, yeah, and then at number one. 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:30.680 It was uh ah, try Jack, try do So we've 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:31.960 set up for this number one. 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:32.600 Now. 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:34.439 The thing about Drew, if you've been listening to the 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.560 stuff that we've been doing over on the Bobby Cast, 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.160 if he reaches number one on media Base, he'll be 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.040 the first ever self funded artist to reach the top 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:43.400 spot with. 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:43.440 Their their song. 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.600 That's amazing self funded artist? 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:46.880 What is self funded? 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:46.959 Me? 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.680 And Drew Well, I just had to create my own 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.240 record label to do this, so I had to hire 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:56.160 my own staff, and uh, you know which is which 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.320 is a lot. I mean that's why artists, you know, 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.800 back in the day really couldn't do. We're very lucky 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.680 that streaming exists to kind of fund the staff to 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.080 help send a radio because it's like, you can't just 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:09.520 have a label and say hey, I'm sending song to 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.040 radio and everybody just starts playing it. You know, you 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.240 got to have people that rep you, that go out 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.440 and say, hey, can you please play this? Please play this? 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.640 And we're just very lucky that radio has been so kind. 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:22.600 You know, I've been in Nashville for thirteen years now chasing. 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.240 This overnight success is what I hear. I don't know 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.960 about you guys. Never been a better example of overnight success. 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.080 Talk about the song for a second. So she's somebody's daughter. 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.120 How long ago did you write the song? 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:34.240 So? 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.920 I wrote this song six years ago after meeting my 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.920 wife's dad for the first time. She was just my girlfriend, 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.080 and it was kind of just like one of those 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.600 things of don't mess this up, like treat or write 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.520 you know, I wanted to message to myself to remember that. 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.920 So I wrote this song back in twenty eighteen and 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.959 I was on a record label and we put it 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.880 out in twenty nineteen and it just really, it really 0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:59.520 didn't do anything. There was a girl at that time 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.079 had a song on to Neil Towns had a song 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.080 called Somebody's Daughter, which was a great song, and I 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.719 was like, you gotta be kidding me. And it was 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.760 such a god blessing because we didn't put it out 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.280 to radio and the label I was on closed in 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:16.080 three months and because of you, not because I don't know, 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.120 but it was just that they just wanted to shut 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.360 their doors. And I thought, man, I'd get a new 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.760 record deal. And twenty twenty came and COVID hit and 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.200 nobody would you know, take meetings, and I almost quit. 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.800 I lost my record deal, I lost my manager, I 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:31.880 lost my booking agent. And the thing that I did 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.160 was I said, Okay, that's kind of one last straw. 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.120 I'm just going to post on my TikTok and just 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.080 say hey, I'll play in anybody's backyard that wants to 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.400 have me. And I thought we'd get like five requests. 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.920 We end up getting I think close to twenty thousand requests. 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:47.520 And I went around the country for two or three 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.320 years and just played in three hundred people's backyards. 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.080 Just the least amount of money you ever got for 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:53.240 doing a backyard. 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.840 Oh man, I think five hundred bucks. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.920 Okay, still respectable, kah. So no one got you for 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.640 like two bucks and some milnt in their pocket, like 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:07.160 oh man, yeah, oh crap, I forgot to bring my wallet. 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.480 And what was the most anybody ever gave you? 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:13.360 Man, I think, uh, you know, it's hard. I'm trying 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.280 to remember. I think like five five thousand dollars to 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.160 go play, and and that was I mean at that time, 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.120 you know, everybody thought I was doing them such a favor, like, man, 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.120 you being here as awesome. I can't believe in your yard. 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.920 And I'd be like, man, no, like what you're doing 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.600 for me is life changing. Like I have a son, 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.680 you know, I have a wife, and I'm trying to 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.520 live a lifestyle and stay in Nashville. It's expensive here, 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.920 and just like they helped me so much. And now 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.000 it's crazy to think that all those people we played 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.640 in their backyards and I'm seeing posts every day. It's 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.040 like this dude's almost got another one record. He was 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.160 in our yard. You know, it's just crazy. 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.600 And sometimes as a porchpirate, not even playing the show, 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.240 it was just trying to steal stuff to get by. Yeah, 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.400 so we feel like this could be the week man. 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:59.959 Yeah, I mean right now, there's this thing called real 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.120 Time that shows the chart in real time, and we're 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.760 a number one. Guys, we're a number one in real time, 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.200 and it's such a blessing and I just can't believe it. 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.120 I mean, you know, everybody looks at media base. I'm 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.680 also like a Billboard watch or two and we're three 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.680 on Billboard, and I'm like, oh man, we're so close, 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.400 Like it'd be cool to hit the number one on both. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.960 But I was talking to someboddies yesterday and they're just like, dude, 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.080 just you're number one, Take your number one song, Take 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.880 the number one. And it's just such a blessing to 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.040 know too. Like we did it by ourselves, Like there 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:34.400 wasn't no fancy strings being pulled, there wasn't big money 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.680 pockets behind it. It was just like making take it. 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:40.280 Yeah, dark political money. 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:40.880 He didn't take it. 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:42.840 No, he didn't make it. Man, it's just cool. And 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.840 also I can just say it's the fans. You know, 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.640 they drove this song. I think you know they've had 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:52.520 like a billion views on TikTok and like have driven 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.720 driven this song to number one. It's really them, and 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.120 they've become a part of my life and part of 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.800 my family. And it's really special to watch a song 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:02.320 that so much to me, that I wrote about my 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.280 wife and her dad, and now watching it mean so 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.840 much to other people, and hearing people sing at shows, 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.440 like I've been here for thirteen years, I've never had 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.560 anybody sing along at a show, and so like my 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:15.960 bass player, the first time that happened.
