Speaker 3: lives that we may display in this particular exhibit, like
Speaker 3: our own personal failures. Something that comes to mind for
Speaker 3: me is the time that I had to sing on
Speaker 3: this national radio show. Not for blind karaoke or anything
Speaker 3: fun like that. No, no, no, because there was once
Speaker 3: upon a time where I thought I wanted to be
Speaker 3: a singer.
Speaker 1: It got word to the show and then I had
Speaker 1: to perform.
Speaker 3: If you know, you know, please don't go look for
Speaker 3: that YouTube.

Speaker 5: I want everybody to think about their worst failure and
Speaker 5: I'm gonna come to you. I've listed out what I
Speaker 5: think you should put up. But there's a new museum
Speaker 5: that is launching in Vancouver. It is the Personal Failure Museum,
Speaker 5: where they have invited people to put up the idea
Speaker 5: of their biggest personal failures. Their tagline as failures Wanted.
Speaker 5: It's a bit therapeutic and you can also see other
Speaker 5: people see you don't feel.
Speaker 4: So alone in yours.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 4: I think it's fun and so.
Speaker 1: It sounds fun.
Speaker 4: It is fun because we only see Instagram.
Speaker 5: It's like everybody and you go through Maybe you don't
Speaker 5: feel as stupid when you see other people failing to too.
Speaker 5: So I can list you some. If I were to
Speaker 5: have an exhibit in the failure Museum, what I would
Speaker 5: put up? Number one, getting fined a million dollars by
Speaker 5: the FCC. I would put that up big failure, big trouble,
Speaker 5: not good for me, my mental health or financially.
Speaker 4: Not a great move.
Speaker 5: Once, as a captain of my high school football team,
Speaker 5: I made the wrong call in the coin toss and
Speaker 5: we had to kick off at the beginning of the
Speaker 5: game and at halftime. That one still sits with me.
Speaker 5: Massive failure because coach Gandalf said, for one of the
Speaker 5: smartest kids I know, that's the dumbest thing I've ever
Speaker 5: seen coaching ever he coached his whole life.
Speaker 4: That's a big failure.
Speaker 6: Amy.
Speaker 4: What would you put my marriage?
Speaker 6: I have marriage for you, latch game, goodness.
Speaker 4: All a failure. There were great things that came from.
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, absolutely, It's just something that I never thought
Speaker 7: happened to us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I have Amy's wedding picture up is the exhibit.
Speaker 6: That's it. That's perfect.
Speaker 4: And then other people, because a lot of people have
Speaker 4: not had it the way they want.
Speaker 6: So many people would relate Oh man, yeah, Eddie, not
Speaker 6: have to go with my hot dogs.
Speaker 4: I have that eating seventy hot dogs in twenty four hours.
Speaker 6: But I didn't any one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and through up.

Speaker 4: than the failure. M yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: What do you have?
Speaker 4: Getting forty thousand dollars in debt?
Speaker 6: Oh that was tough. I got out of it, thank god.
Speaker 6: But man, that was tough.
Speaker 4: But you learned. You put up a credit card that
Speaker 4: cut half. Yep, you grew from that.
Speaker 6: And then we did a little snowball effect painted off.
Speaker 6: But you know what, getting in debt was pretty easy, I'll.
Speaker 4: Give you that, But getting out of it wasn't.
Speaker 6: It was tough to getting out of it lunchbox.
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, my biggest failure is going into a gas
Speaker 8: station and buying a pack of gum with panty hose
Speaker 8: over my face. I would put that up. That was
Speaker 8: That's it.
Speaker 5: That did not make it because I'd probably put that
Speaker 5: for me too, But that didn't make it. I have
Speaker 5: I have you becoming a contestant on prices right, not
Speaker 5: like going out what.
Speaker 6: Happened days got that rented a.
Speaker 8: Tucks I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 4: Man.

Speaker 4: And then another one is that was.
Speaker 8: Tough, man, that's still that's still hurt.
Speaker 6: Hold on, there's another one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's two more, two more.
Speaker 5: Yeah, not getting the soccer in host job where you
Speaker 5: talk where you just talk in the stadium. They didn't
Speaker 5: think you were good enough for that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, after they sit me an email and said would
Speaker 8: you be interested in this job? And I made videos
Speaker 8: and all this went to I mean I had to
Speaker 8: make a resume, didn't even know how to do it.
Speaker 8: My wife had to do it for me. And then
Speaker 8: they were like, oh no, we decided to do it
Speaker 8: with someone that already works here, Like.
Speaker 4: What But yeah, that's bad. The last one. Dang, it's
Speaker 4: another one.
Speaker 5: What's not that you didn't graduate, because lot of people
Speaker 5: don't graduate, but you got to three hours. You just
Speaker 5: needed one more class to graduate college and you didn't.
Speaker 5: You didn't finish the one class. Yeah, they just called
Speaker 5: me Bill Gates.
Speaker 4: They don't.
Speaker 5: Not a single person has ever called you Bill Gates.
Speaker 5: He dropped out to pursue a business.
Speaker 8: I dropped out to pursue a career.
Speaker 1: No, you walked across the stage.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 7: It's just like I did to get an empty diploma,
Speaker 7: knowing we would complete the three hours eventually.
Speaker 8: Right, But I can't help it, Like it's like the
Speaker 8: computer that Bill Gates had. He can't help that that
Speaker 8: fell in his lap at that moment. I can't help
Speaker 8: it that I found my passion in my career and
Speaker 8: school was not something I needed for that anymore. That
Speaker 8: had done its time.
Speaker 5: One of the exhibits of this thing is the wall
Speaker 5: of reject It's covered in job applications that are rejected,
Speaker 5: firing notices. I mean, I was rejected by what thirty
Speaker 5: two stations before I ever got like a real job
Speaker 5: in radio.
Speaker 6: Wow. Put that up there, man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, one woman put up her wedding dress for failure. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I was just gonna put a picture you got. I
Speaker 5: only got to put your wedding dress.
Speaker 6: I do have one more for lunchbox.
Speaker 4: Oh oh for him. That's what you do for yourself.
Speaker 6: And I was thinking about lunchboxes. I'd said the palette
Speaker 6: was a failure.
Speaker 8: Oh did you make money?
Speaker 6: Did you sell all the items? No?
Speaker 8: But we made money. You made a profit, so it
Speaker 8: can't be a failure.
Speaker 4: I would mental health cost anymore than forty bucks we made.
Speaker 1: Just failed.
Speaker 4: Eddie just failed to show by hitting a wound.
Speaker 8: He's chicken business.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's the best bits of the week Withgan. Number two.
Speaker 3: When you think about your life and all the memories,
Speaker 3: the moments, everything a part of it, and you had
Speaker 3: to put it into one song title, what would that
Speaker 3: title be? That was the question that got asked this
Speaker 3: week on the show, and everybody shared what their current
Speaker 3: life song title would be.
Speaker 4: Number six. If you had to write a song about
Speaker 4: your life right now, like something going on in your life,
Speaker 4: what would that song be called?
Speaker 1: No Longer the Weakest Link?
Speaker 6: Oh wow, that's a heavy song.
Speaker 4: Dang regrowth, Why what's happening? Why would you write that song?
Speaker 4: What does that mean?
Speaker 7: Uh, that's just something like right now, the film is
Speaker 7: very fitting for me and it would feel empowering to
Speaker 7: like have a song to sing about it.
Speaker 4: Have you been the weakest link?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Aware at times on the show.
Speaker 7: It it's not really well maybe even professionally sometimes, but
Speaker 7: this is more of a personal matter. And it came
Speaker 7: up on a zoom call the other day, ah, and
Speaker 7: like a something that to be honest, we had like
Speaker 7: a mentor of sorts on the line and my ex
Speaker 7: husband was on the line and it has to do
Speaker 7: with some stuff with our kids, and I just was
Speaker 7: real proud, like the person that we've been working with
Speaker 7: for like five years. She's like, Amy, you are not
Speaker 7: the same person that I met five years ago, and
Speaker 7: like there would have been a time you would have
Speaker 7: been the weakest link and that's no longer the case.
Speaker 4: So you know what that means? You have to assign
Speaker 4: the new weakest link and who is No, I don't know,
Speaker 4: I don't do that.
Speaker 1: No, that's not really what it was about.
Speaker 7: But and not even really that I actually was, but
Speaker 7: it was a could be perceived that I was as well,
Speaker 7: and that just it made me feel good because you know,
Speaker 7: she's an expert and she was seeing my growth.
Speaker 4: I think i'd write a song holy crap, babies are small.
Speaker 6: Oh that's good.
Speaker 4: We got these hangers.
Speaker 6: For the baby gloss. Yeah, tiny, tiny little hangers.
Speaker 4: Who knew they made them?
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're cute.
Speaker 4: I opened the box on my Instagram and I was like,
Speaker 4: these hangars. I just thought maybe you like tape them
Speaker 4: up or some of the closet, or you just folded
Speaker 4: all baby clothes. But these hangars are tiny. They're so cute, dude.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'd write a song called holy crap, babies
Speaker 4: are small. But also with these baby clothes, I'm telling
Speaker 4: you that it's a racket. They need to make these
Speaker 4: clothes where you can pull and stretch them out more
Speaker 4: as they get a little older, because when they're super baby,
Speaker 4: like tiny, tiny, they grow out of this crap in
Speaker 4: weeks and you just spend all this money on baby clothes.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 4: And they're also going, hey, you have all these baby clothes,
Speaker 4: but you need like eight to them because baby use
Speaker 4: the bathroom all the time. So yeah, we're going through
Speaker 4: that right now. That'd be my song, Eddie.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go. Even my dog don't listen to me.
Speaker 6: Then that sound like a good country song.
Speaker 4: Does that mean the kids aren't listening?
Speaker 6: Nobody listens? No, wife, don't listen. Nobody listens to me.
Speaker 6: Even the dog don't listen. Even the dog Like.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're the weakest link.
Speaker 6: Okay, the second part to your song, I just, dude,
Speaker 6: no one listens to me in my life right now.
Speaker 6: Like I tell my kids something and I have to
Speaker 6: yell three times for them to be like huh oh, okay, Dad,
Speaker 6: I'm on that. Or my wife like i'll tell her something,
Speaker 6: she'd be like, you didn't tell me that, Like, I'm
Speaker 6: pretty sure I told you that.
Speaker 4: How do you change that?
Speaker 6: Well? During I mean, I'm just being patient, you know,
Speaker 6: like you know how to do it in the cartel. Oh,
Speaker 6: they make me say what and they make you watch
Speaker 6: they kill one of them in front of you and
Speaker 6: then they put a little sign you will listen.
Speaker 4: To me and then they yeah, so it have to
Speaker 4: be that drastic, but get the belt out, dude.
Speaker 6: I'm just being patient, just being like, whatever.
Speaker 4: What if you work to deal with one of your
Speaker 4: kids that said what hey, kid number three, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: be real mad and I'm gonna fake whoop you and
Speaker 4: you'll want you to really because we need to sell
Speaker 4: it to your brothers. They need to listen.
Speaker 6: I do that all the time. I do that all
Speaker 6: the time, where I wink at like the three other kids.
Speaker 6: You want to do this, Oh yeah, I'll watch this
Speaker 6: and then I'll be like, I'll start yelling. They're just
Speaker 6: laughing in the back. You can't laugh though.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is why they don't take you serious.
Speaker 4: Yes, you're already working deal with your kids.
Speaker 6: That could be it.
Speaker 8: Lunchbox pain and suffering with all the idiotic doctors.
Speaker 6: Yeah, having the wrong one.
Speaker 4: You'd have to do parentheses on that one. It'd be
Speaker 4: called pain and stuff in parentheses with all the idiotic doctors.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I mean I've been in pain since June, and I
Speaker 8: mean I've been to so many different doctors. No one
Speaker 8: can tell me what's wrong. Now. They say it's tightness
Speaker 8: in my pelvic floor. I have no idea.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 8: Every doctor's like has a difference saying oh it's this,
Speaker 8: it's that. Just they just make it up. They have
Speaker 8: no idea, and it's just miserable being in pain all
Speaker 8: the time.
Speaker 4: If you were to sing that song, how would it go?
Speaker 8: The pain and suffering never goes away. You make an
Speaker 8: appointment today, Oh yeah, come on, let me see you
Speaker 8: pull down your pains. Well that's what they have to
Speaker 8: do when you go in the doctor's office and the
Speaker 8: doctor says, hey, just YouTube something.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do.
Speaker 8: The pain and suffering never goes way. And I got
Speaker 8: another appointment today, not the appointment today. And this doctor says,
Speaker 8: I don't know, but uh, we're here if you need you.
Speaker 4: Need you, Yeah, we're here if you need us.
Speaker 8: But they're not really there for you. Suffering never goes away.
Speaker 8: These idiot doctors need to go away.
Speaker 6: That's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 2: Number two.
Speaker 3: Bobby and his wife Caitlin are expecting their first child,
Speaker 3: and so he's been learning up on all things dad.
Speaker 3: He's been watching YouTube videos, including how to change a
Speaker 3: baby's diaper, and he was practicing on a doll.
Speaker 5: Number five, So, I got a baby doll, I think
Speaker 5: is what you call it, and I was practicing doing
Speaker 5: diaper changes on the doll.
Speaker 6: I saw the picture. How are you doing?
Speaker 4: Pretty good?
Speaker 6: Good?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, pretty good? No problem. If those babies don't kick,
Speaker 4: I'm good.
Speaker 6: But you just practiced the change. Do you not like
Speaker 6: the wiping and all that, right, because there's nothing to white.
Speaker 4: There's nothing to wipe.
Speaker 5: But I still like there's a technique that I looked
Speaker 5: up on YouTube before I was practicing on the doll.
Speaker 4: When you grab the feet of the baby.
Speaker 5: You do it with one hand and there's the thumb
Speaker 5: goes in the middle, so they don't kick, that's right.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 5: From that, you lift a little and while the diaper
Speaker 5: is still dirty, you slide the clean diaper underneath the
Speaker 5: dirty diaper. Therefore, when you pull off the dirty diaper,
Speaker 5: if there's a blowout or anything, it does happen, instead
Speaker 5: of getting on the table, gets on the other diaper
Speaker 5: and then you throw them both away.
Speaker 6: Oh who taught you that?
Speaker 4: The internet?
Speaker 6: Wow, that's smart.
Speaker 4: I ain't come up with it.
Speaker 5: So all right, grab the baby by the feet, let's
Speaker 5: baby up, take the diaper off, pull the dirty diaper out,
Speaker 5: fasten it. And then on the sides of the legs,
Speaker 5: you got to make sure that those those edges are out.
Speaker 6: Yeah that's the sticky edges.
Speaker 5: Yeah they're out, not in so probably did like twenty
Speaker 5: or so, oh, twenty. As I was doing this, I
Speaker 5: was thinking that you never changed the diaper of your kids.
Speaker 6: No, that's not true. I changed about a handful. My
Speaker 6: wife just always beat me to it, dude. Like it
Speaker 6: was one of those things where like, okay, I will
Speaker 6: admit sometimes I would act like I didn't smell it,
Speaker 6: and it'd smell so bad, okay, and my wife be like,
Speaker 6: did you not smell? That'd be like, smell what this
Speaker 6: diaper is nasty? And I'd be like, oh, I didn't
Speaker 6: even notice something. She would change it.
Speaker 4: How many diapers if your first two children? Do you
Speaker 4: think you changed? Honestly, my first two children.
Speaker 6: Yeah, twenty fifteen, fifteen, like realistically fifteen, possibly.
Speaker 4: Twenty so seven or eight yeah, each. And she didn't care.
Speaker 6: No, she would just do it. I think after a
Speaker 6: while she was just like, well, am I going to
Speaker 6: wait for you to do it? I'll just do it.
Speaker 5: Here's what I practiced. I practiced the diaper. By the way,
Speaker 5: my wife's pregnant. In case you guys are wondering why
Speaker 5: I'm practicing on.
Speaker 4: A baby doll. I didn't even other call baby dolls anymore.
Speaker 4: A doll or whatever it is.
Speaker 5: And I'd posted the picture on my Instagram at miss
Speaker 5: Bobby Bones, and people thought that was a real baby
Speaker 5: that I was either announcing the baby was here.
Speaker 6: It's a what's wrong with people?
Speaker 5: That was clearly at all and it had such a
Speaker 5: happy look on its face and a lot of hair.
Speaker 5: But yeah, over on my Instagram, mister Bobby Bones, you
Speaker 5: can see this. So I did that, and then I
Speaker 5: practiced swaddling.
Speaker 6: Oh that's the dude. I was so good at swaddling,
Speaker 6: So you did that. Though I swaddled all the time,
Speaker 6: my wife would give me the baby and be like,
Speaker 6: will you swaddling please?
Speaker 4: You just didn't like the poop part of it, dude.
Speaker 6: It's disgusting. And people are like, ah, you just get
Speaker 6: used to the smell. I never got used to that smell.
Speaker 6: That's one thing. You're not ready for that.
Speaker 5: Even with dogs and I clean up after my dogs
Speaker 5: and Stanley's been sick one hundred times because it's a
Speaker 5: bulldog and it's always sick.
Speaker 6: It's a different smell that baby smell, dude. And sometimes
Speaker 6: maybe it's the baby food or what they're eating, or
Speaker 6: the breast smelk. I don't know. What it is.
Speaker 5: It's nasty. You know what I learned too. When a
Speaker 5: baby is upside down in the belly of a woman, yeah,
Speaker 5: why doesn't the blood rush to the baby's head? And
Speaker 5: I guessed correctly, but I wasn't for sure because you know,
Speaker 5: if we're hanging upside down and we're let's say we're
Speaker 5: in a closet and we have our feet over and
Speaker 5: we're hanging upside down, all the blood rushes to our head. Yeah,
Speaker 5: if we're on handle monkey bars, yeah, you can't head.
Speaker 5: So why do you think that is?
Speaker 6: My guess is that they're in fluid, embiotic fluid, and
Speaker 6: therefore their anti gravity, so there's no gravity anywhere.
Speaker 5: So in liquid that is true. If you did in
Speaker 5: a pull, your blood also wouldn't rush to your head.
Speaker 6: So is that right? Yes? Wow, yeah, good job, And
Speaker 6: you nailed it right away.
Speaker 5: I got it right, But it wasn't because I knew
Speaker 5: it was because I strictly guessed.
Speaker 6: You know, sometimes the babies are not upside down. That's
Speaker 6: that's like a problem at birth.
Speaker 4: It can come out breach, that's it.
Speaker 6: That's what they call it.
Speaker 5: So if that's the case I've learned about this, then
Speaker 5: they if it's breach breach, they have to go in,
Speaker 5: don't they in?
Speaker 4: Like cesarean sea section. H Yeah, man, I'm straight up,
Speaker 4: straight up at the baby world right now.
Speaker 2: It's the best bits of the week with more get
Speaker 2: number two.
Speaker 1: This guy has had a huge year.
Speaker 3: George burg stopped by the studio to talk all things music.
Speaker 3: What it's been like touring in the new collaboration he
Speaker 3: has coming out with a big country artist.
Speaker 4: Number four on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, George Burge,
Speaker 4: the great Poor Heey Birds is here. He always makes
Speaker 4: me feel so good when I come hang out with
Speaker 4: you guys.
Speaker 6: Bobby.
Speaker 4: That's what I love you, buddy.
Speaker 5: Fighting for number one This week is called it won't
Speaker 5: be long, But tell me about writing that song. I
Speaker 5: won't be long, because that's a good one. First time
Speaker 5: I heard it, I was like, man, I've heard it
Speaker 5: ten million times now, so now it's just like white noise.
Speaker 5: But the first couple of times I heard it was like, man,
Speaker 5: it makes me emotional. Tell me about the song.
Speaker 9: I always get nervous when I send you songs because
Speaker 9: I know you're gonna be honest. And that's why I
Speaker 9: like you is because we're actually friends, and this is
Speaker 9: as I was kind of starting to grow as an artist.
Speaker 9: This is my third single to radio. I'd had my
Speaker 9: first two hits that had changed my life and kind
Speaker 9: of opened some doors for me, and I felt like
Speaker 9: with the third song, I just wanted to like be
Speaker 9: a little bit more open as a songwriter, tell a
Speaker 9: little bit more of my story, and dig a little
Speaker 9: bit deeper. And so that was this swing for me,
Speaker 9: and it was one of the coolest songs that I've
Speaker 9: ever been a part of writing, just because every line
Speaker 9: of the song is true, from you know, being nervous
Speaker 9: to ask care of my wife on a first date,
Speaker 9: to taking a starter house to the studs, to us
Speaker 9: going to t ball games and watching our kids play
Speaker 9: these days. It's all like real life stories, which it
Speaker 9: makes it fun to sing. And I think because we
Speaker 9: drilled down so deep on all of those pictures, other
Speaker 9: people have been kind of connecting with it in their
Speaker 9: own lives and that's probably made the song the most
Speaker 9: special for me, is to hear people kind of plugging
Speaker 9: their own memories into it. But what I didn't think
Speaker 9: about was because it is such like a real and
Speaker 9: raw song for me, is like the first month that
Speaker 9: I played it, I got choked up every time I
Speaker 9: played it. And now I've played it enough where I'm fine,
Speaker 9: But like the first month, I was like, Man, I'm
Speaker 9: gonna have to do this for the rest of my life.
Speaker 5: Is it weird going into a room writing with other
Speaker 5: people and you're being really really personal. Does it feel like, oh, man,
Speaker 5: I'm kind of pouring my guts out to folks and
Speaker 5: I only know them that well.
Speaker 9: One hundred percent. Yeah, And it's something that takes them
Speaker 9: getting used to too, Because, like you said, that was my
Speaker 9: first time. Tranny Anderson is a writer on that song
Speaker 9: with me. She's an amazing songwriter, and it was literally
Speaker 9: the first time I'd ever been in the writing room
Speaker 9: with Tranny. And so we had started this song and
Speaker 9: it was great, but it wasn't exactly what I was
Speaker 9: looking for. And then we just kind of started talking
Speaker 9: about life, which is a great way to kind of
Speaker 9: pause in the writer's room if you feel like things
Speaker 9: aren't going the exact direction you want. And so we
Speaker 9: just started talking about life. And she's an incredible piano player,
Speaker 9: and she started playing piano and just kind of had
Speaker 9: this way of kind of putting me at ease, And
Speaker 9: it was when we started telling those stories and getting
Speaker 9: to know each other a little bit that the song
Speaker 9: fell out. But it takes a second to like get
Speaker 9: vulnerable enough to tell the stories that people want to hear.
Speaker 9: And something that I've learned kind of as I've started
Speaker 9: to grow as an artist and as a songwriter, is
Speaker 9: the more that you feel like uncomfortable sharing a lyric
Speaker 9: or a more nervous that a lyric makes you a
Speaker 9: lot of times, the more it resonates with other people
Speaker 9: because it is real and it is raw, and it's
Speaker 9: real life, which is country music.
Speaker 4: Meyer a lot of the real honesty. Your song A
Speaker 4: rectile dysfunction. I don't know how you do.
Speaker 6: It's a jam, dude.
Speaker 5: I listened to that song NonStop, and I'm always like
Speaker 5: George Burd's had that. Just the bravery tell me the
Speaker 5: courage to write about that.
Speaker 9: The sequel, Little Blue Pill is actually it's yes, that's
Speaker 9: the that's parentheses, A rectile dysfunction, parentheses, A little Blue Pill.
Speaker 5: You talk about house from studs on your Instagram. You're
Speaker 5: building a house based Yes, how much are you actually doing?
Speaker 4: Zero? Yeah? The pictures make it look like, yeah, you're
Speaker 4: in the mix now the beauty of social media.
Speaker 9: No, I would say my extent in this was finding
Speaker 9: a lot that I really liked and signing the checks
Speaker 9: when the bills come in. My wife has been like
Speaker 9: an incredible designer. She picked the floor planned, she's been
Speaker 9: working with the builder to make it like a comfortable
Speaker 9: spot for us and the kids that we want to
Speaker 9: go hang out.
Speaker 4: But our whole deal with this is I grew up
Speaker 4: by the.
Speaker 9: Water down in Texas. The lake is kind of like
Speaker 9: my retreat where I turn off from the world. And
Speaker 9: when we're out playing just concerts and we're out in
Speaker 9: big cities with tons of people all the time. It
Speaker 9: is what I've always dreamed of. But when I get home,
Speaker 9: we wanted this place to kind of like turn off.
Speaker 4: A little bit.
Speaker 9: So I wish I could say I was Paul Bunyan
Speaker 9: out there cutting the trees down and building it with
Speaker 9: my very hands.
Speaker 4: Somebody's got music, yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 5: Is it weird that you get to pay for a
Speaker 5: new cool house because you've been playing music and it's
Speaker 5: finally caught on.
Speaker 9: It is the weirdest thing in the entire world. And
Speaker 9: I still don't totally believe it to be able to
Speaker 9: say that, you know, I have a lake house. Is
Speaker 9: I still feel awkward saying that, just because it's not
Speaker 9: something that I ever thought that I would have. But
Speaker 9: it also makes me super proud to talk about with
Speaker 9: my wife because we dreamed about that forever and she's
Speaker 9: been coming to see me play shows since it was
Speaker 9: two people at the Mellow Mushroom on the drag at
Speaker 9: ut So used to play a pizza place. I used
Speaker 9: to play at a pizza place at open mic too.
Speaker 9: It wasn't even like they invited me to go. I
Speaker 9: was there, hop up real quick and play.
Speaker 4: I wish it wasn't, but it was literally that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: what is it like playing at a pizza place?
Speaker 8: The worst?
Speaker 9: But yes, you're fighting for attention, yeah it. I mean
Speaker 9: it's a platform, it's a microphone. It's an opportunity to
Speaker 9: sing in front of an audience. But nobody is there
Speaker 9: to hear your music on purpose?
Speaker 4: How about that? Like they're they're.
Speaker 9: Gonna be around and maybe if you do a great job,
Speaker 9: you can learn how to entertain people. But yeah, I
Speaker 9: think that getting started in music in any form or
Speaker 9: fashion is tough, man, because nobody is going to like
Speaker 9: give you the benefit of the doubt, or is going
Speaker 9: to say that, like, hey, you know, you're a star
Speaker 9: in the making, you kind of have to go earn it.
Speaker 9: And a lot of times, like people are not going
Speaker 9: to listen.
Speaker 4: And you know it.
Speaker 9: It It kind of toughens you up a little bit
Speaker 9: and you have to really want it. And I think
Speaker 9: that that's why we take so much pride in is
Speaker 9: we have finally turned that corner where you know, we're
Speaker 9: showing up and people are buying tickets and we've got
Speaker 9: sold out shows now. And you know, I looked the
Speaker 9: other day and Cara had like a little tear in
Speaker 9: her eye side stage because you know, it was we're
Speaker 9: not used to this, the people showing up like that.
Speaker 9: So it's starting to get really fun and it's opened
Speaker 9: a lot of really.
Speaker 4: Cool doors for us.
Speaker 5: I feel like your wife, and I think a lot
Speaker 5: of wives, especially yours, because I know you guys have
Speaker 5: sacrificed a lot because for a long time, you're just
Speaker 5: grind and trying to stay even while you got kids,
Speaker 5: while she's like managing the kids and the how and
Speaker 5: just making sure that everything is together while you're on
Speaker 5: the road.
Speaker 4: Just trying to get a shot at it, right.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's something that I wish I could just shout
Speaker 9: from the rooftops, and I do try to do that
Speaker 9: on my social media too. But like, I owe her
Speaker 9: so much because she blindly believed in me the entire time,
Speaker 9: and you know, like you said, when you're starting, it's
Speaker 9: it's literally zero dollars, like you're going out and losing
Speaker 9: money to play shows. And we were trying to start
Speaker 9: a family. We had moved to a new city where
Speaker 9: she had quit her job in Austin, Texas and mood
Speaker 9: with me to Nashville on a whim of like trying
Speaker 9: to chase his dream, you know. And she's got her
Speaker 9: real estate career that she was crushing at at the time,
Speaker 9: and you know, I'm in here bringing nothing to the table,
Speaker 9: and she's still bet on me and like didn't let
Speaker 9: me quit even when I wanted to, And so like,
Speaker 9: I could not be prouder to get to celebrate this
Speaker 9: with her, and I do my best to try to
Speaker 9: spoil her because of it too.
Speaker 5: Did you ever have a moment where you're like, ah,
Speaker 5: this may not be it and she's like no, you
Speaker 5: got to keep going.
Speaker 9: Like every night, Yeah, pitch every night. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 9: It's even when things are going good, this industry can
Speaker 9: just hit you like a freight train sometimes, and it's
Speaker 9: you have to have that no matter how high or
Speaker 9: how low you get, you have to have your reason why.
Speaker 9: And for me, that's like my family and my friends,
Speaker 9: and I've tried not to to stray too far from that,
Speaker 9: and I do try to like let myself celebrate every
Speaker 9: now and then.
Speaker 4: But like, as long as.
Speaker 9: You've got that that core of like, hey, if this
Speaker 9: all goes away tomorrow, which eventually one day it is
Speaker 9: all going to go away for everybody, But as long
Speaker 9: as you have your reason that you're there, like it
Speaker 9: makes the highs and lows a little bit easier.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about another artist, Luke Brian. You went out
Speaker 4: on tour. Luke Brian. Pretty cool guy, huh.
Speaker 9: One of the best guys I've ever met, which I
Speaker 9: have to give you some props on. When I got
Speaker 9: the tour you being one of my super close friends,
Speaker 9: I text you. I was like, dude, you're not gonna
Speaker 9: believe this. I got the Luke Brian tour and the
Speaker 9: first day I met Luke Brian. He was like, hey, man,
Speaker 9: Bobby Bone sent me a text message said you're a
Speaker 9: pretty cool guy. So and that like opened it up
Speaker 9: for me. He started inviting me up on the bus
Speaker 9: after shows, he brought me on stage to sing with him,
Speaker 9: and all of a sudden, he was like a big
Speaker 9: brother to me. And you want to talk about a
Speaker 9: guy that just like loves on his people. There's not
Speaker 9: one person in his entire hundred something person crew that
Speaker 9: had one bad thing to say about Luke Brian. They
Speaker 9: all just love him and he treats everybody. One thing
Speaker 9: I learned from him. When we go out and open
Speaker 9: for people bigger than us, I always try to like
Speaker 9: take in like why is this guy superstar? How did
Speaker 9: you get here? And one thing I noticed about Luke
Speaker 9: is like no matter how big or small you are,
Speaker 9: he he never walks past somebody without acknowledging them, even
Speaker 9: if it's a person cleaning the toilets or whoever it is.
Speaker 4: You know, Hey, how are you.
Speaker 9: I'm glad you're here. How's your day going? And that's
Speaker 9: just how he treats everybody, and he brings us inner
Speaker 9: you to the room. And it was something that I
Speaker 9: really admired and really have tried to like put into
Speaker 9: place in what I do too. But just, you know,
Speaker 9: also getting to see somebody go out there and play
Speaker 9: for ninety minutes and still not be able to play
Speaker 9: all of his number ones because he has so many hits.
Speaker 9: It was wild to kind of just get to be
Speaker 9: in the presence of that and learn from him, and yeah,
Speaker 9: he's a great guy.
Speaker 5: So you announced earlier this week that you got Luke
Speaker 5: to be on your next song. The song's not out yet,
Speaker 5: so you put a little bit on the internet and
Speaker 5: the song is called Ride, Ride Ride. When you ask
Speaker 5: Luke Brian to be on a song, what happens? How
Speaker 5: do you do that?
Speaker 9: It was the most surreal experience of my life. So
Speaker 9: already I'm just kind of pinching myself that I'm on
Speaker 9: tour with Luke and that we're starting to be friends.
Speaker 9: And then kind of as the tour progressed, he would
Speaker 9: invite me on the bus after shows and we kind
Speaker 9: of play guitar and just talk life and advice. And
Speaker 9: Luke loves to make people squirm. It's like one of
Speaker 9: his favorite things is just to kind of put you
Speaker 9: out of his out of comfort zone. And so we're
Speaker 9: on the bus one night and you know, I feel
Speaker 9: like I'm just barely getting to call my friend.
Speaker 4: And he looks at me.
Speaker 9: He goes, Burge, plug your phone in and play me
Speaker 9: a song I never heard before.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, he wants you to play a song.
Speaker 9: Maybe you've written yes, demo or something on his bus
Speaker 9: on his bluetooth. He's sitting there sipping his wine and
Speaker 9: I could feel my heart beating out of my chest.
Speaker 9: Come like, when am I ever going to get another
Speaker 9: opportunity like this? And so I had this song. I
Speaker 9: had an idea that I wanted Luke to feature on it,
Speaker 9: and I just said screw it, and I pulled the
Speaker 9: trigger and I played it and he listens for three
Speaker 9: minutes and however many seconds the song is with his
Speaker 9: eyes closed and I can't tell if it's going good
Speaker 9: or what's happening.
Speaker 4: Listening rubbing his nipple. I like this one.
Speaker 9: And when the song is over, he stands up and
Speaker 9: he smacks the wall and he says, play that MF
Speaker 9: for again. And so I knew that he was kind
Speaker 9: of into it. And uh so the next day I
Speaker 9: sent him a text message and I was like Hey, man,
Speaker 9: I know this is crazy, and I know that it
Speaker 9: has to make sense in your world, but I couldn't
Speaker 9: help but think this song would sound incredible if you
Speaker 9: featured on it. I know it's a long shot, but
Speaker 9: let me know. And he texts me back like thirty
Speaker 9: seconds later he was like, I'm in let's do it really,
Speaker 9: which was crazy. And then I didn't hear from him
Speaker 9: for a month and I was like, well.
Speaker 4: Did he have the song? He had the song? Okay,
Speaker 4: he had the song.
Speaker 9: I sent it to him when I asked him the
Speaker 9: full song and I sent him the lyrics, and I
Speaker 9: didn't hear from him from a month after. He said yes,
Speaker 9: and I kind of in my head was like, well
Speaker 9: that's it, you know. He said yes and then forgot
Speaker 9: about it whatever, and about it.
Speaker 4: A couple days later.
Speaker 9: I was playing golf with Jordan Davis, who's become a
Speaker 9: friend too, and I was telling him a story. I
Speaker 9: was like, man, I'm not sure if you know Luke
Speaker 9: is still into it, or if he fell off or whatever.
Speaker 9: He's like, man, He's like, that's exactly what happened to
Speaker 9: me with by Dirt. He was like, I didn't hear
Speaker 9: anything from him from a month or two and then
Speaker 9: one day I just got the song back with his
Speaker 9: vocal on it, and it was the best thing I'd
Speaker 9: ever heard, and I was like, okay, fingers crossed, And
Speaker 9: sure enough, about two weeks later, I get a video from.
Speaker 4: Luke's selfie video in the studio and it's him.
Speaker 9: And he's kind of holding the lyrics sheet in front
Speaker 9: of his face, and then he pulls it down and
Speaker 9: reveals his face and he goes, this suckers hard to sing.
Speaker 9: And he sent it back and it really wasn't hard
Speaker 9: to sing. He sounded absolutely amazing on it.
Speaker 4: So I am. I'm beyond fired up to have him
Speaker 4: on it. So we'll get to hear the whole thing
Speaker 4: in like a week or something.
Speaker 9: Right, Yes, it is coming out February fifth.
Speaker 4: Give us like one second of it, no more than
Speaker 4: one second, so one Mississippi go Okay, that's enough.
Speaker 8: Wow what a song?
Speaker 4: Wow, Wow. Everybody says it really grabs you off the
Speaker 4: first Yeah.
Speaker 5: I started rubbing my nipple. I heard one second of that,
Speaker 5: close my eyes. Wow, you had to cancel shows because
Speaker 5: of the weather, like the first of your.
Speaker 9: Tour, man, that sucks. You know, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 9: That one hurt my feelings a little bit, but you
Speaker 9: can't control weather. This is our first headline tour, the
Speaker 9: Cowboys Songs Tour. Seeing my name on the top of
Speaker 9: the bill, It's something I dreamed about forever. And then
Speaker 9: I was all in my head about if we were
Speaker 9: gonna sell tickets. And then the first three shows ended
Speaker 9: up being sold out, and we had a brand new
Speaker 9: show and a light show and smoke and everything, and
Speaker 9: I was like, man, this is it. It's all finally
Speaker 9: coming together. And then three days before the tour was
Speaker 9: supposed to start, the most historic ice and snowstorm ever
Speaker 9: blew in and canceled all three of the shows. So
Speaker 9: we have pushed it back to April. It's gonna be
Speaker 9: a little bit warmer, and I can't wait to co
Speaker 9: see everybody. But I'm not gonna lie. Sitting on my
Speaker 9: hands here in Nashville waiting for the tour to start
Speaker 9: has heard a little bit.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 5: The good news is I saw a headline about your
Speaker 5: tour being canceled, and the headline made me feel good
Speaker 5: for you, because the headline said country Star postpones opening
Speaker 5: dates of sold out tour. You got listed this country star.
Speaker 9: Dude, I'm not gonna lie. Sent that to my manager too, like,
Speaker 9: did you see that? Did you see where they called us? Yes, sir,
Speaker 9: a country star.
Speaker 4: I've been saying that forever, A country starve before you
Speaker 4: had songs? Hey man, thank you put it out there.
Speaker 4: George Burge is in studio with us, so tell me
Speaker 4: about writing cowboy songs.
Speaker 9: That was one that was not my idea, but as
Speaker 9: soon as the idea got pitched in the room, I
Speaker 9: instantly could visualize it. We were out at a buddy's house.
Speaker 9: We had kind of do these songwriter retreats sometimes where
Speaker 9: we get out of town and spend a couple of
Speaker 9: nights just so that if we get on a song,
Speaker 9: or if we need to take a break or whatever,
Speaker 9: we can kind of let it come to us. And
Speaker 9: that's one of my favorite ways to write, just because
Speaker 9: sometimes when you're doing it office style, it feels like, oh,
Speaker 9: you know, I gotta go home and take care of
Speaker 9: the kids, or I gotta do whatever, and sometimes it's
Speaker 9: hard to let the creative process really flow like that.
Speaker 9: And so we were out on a little trip for
Speaker 9: three days, and day two my buddy was like, hey man,
Speaker 9: I've had this title and it's running around in my head,
Speaker 9: but I can't quite nail it. The ideas she only
Speaker 9: dances to cowboys songs. And as soon as you said it,
Speaker 9: I was like, man, I know exactly what that means.
Speaker 9: I just kind of started getting flashes of me being
Speaker 9: in college chasing my wife around dive bars in Texas.
Speaker 9: When you know, a George Strait song would come on
Speaker 9: or whatever, you'd see everybody kind of flock to the
Speaker 9: dance floor, everybody kind of let their inhibitions to the wind.
Speaker 9: And it was just like, that was what I kind
Speaker 9: of pictured, and so I tried to kind of capture
Speaker 9: those gritty six street nights in Austin, Texas, carefree fun.
Speaker 9: She only dances a cowboy songs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you met your wife at University of Texas. I
Speaker 4: did freshman year. Wow, you stayed together through college. We
Speaker 4: did never broke up once. She is an absolute saint man. Yeah,
Speaker 4: what were you doing when you met her? We had
Speaker 4: a frat party or something. It was a frat party, absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was dressed as a smurf.
Speaker 9: I had a bed sheet put on, like one of
Speaker 9: those smurf diapers around me and my whole body painted blue,
Speaker 9: and I think I had had just enough liquid courage
Speaker 9: to ask her on a date, and by some miracle,
Speaker 9: she said yes, and we ended up going to Jack
Speaker 9: in the Box that night and hanging out together.
Speaker 4: And then that that wasn't the date. No, that wasn't
Speaker 4: the date.
Speaker 9: She Carol would kill me if I said that too,
Speaker 9: But we ended up hitting it off and then it
Speaker 9: was like we couldn't wait to see each other, and
Speaker 9: we ended up hanging out almost every day after that.
Speaker 4: Asked her to be my girlfriend.
Speaker 9: I don't know if people still do that, but I did,
Speaker 9: like I did the official, like hey, will you be
Speaker 9: my girlfriend? Thing? And then the bad part was I
Speaker 9: think like three months in I knew I was about
Speaker 9: her out of the get. She was a cheerleader at Texas.
Speaker 9: She's the prettiest girl I've ever seen. I was a
Speaker 9: big dork in high school and I don't know, college
Speaker 9: is like a cool new start for me, so I
Speaker 9: was I was kind of putting on this like fraternity
Speaker 9: guy thing, but I wasn't that guy.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not that cool.
Speaker 9: But about three months in I knew I loved her,
Speaker 9: and I said it probably too early I was like, hey,
Speaker 9: I love you.
Speaker 4: She said that's she said said, thank you.
Speaker 6: That's terrible.
Speaker 4: Hey man, but we're married with kids now, South late
Speaker 4: the long game. How long until you got it back?
Speaker 6: Though?
Speaker 9: I think I got it back like a week later. Yeah,
Speaker 9: I think, but it was I knew early for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 9: so you have two kids? We do with two little boys?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Did they just fly growing up? Is that true?
Speaker 4: Do they win? Does the fly by time?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 9: My gosh, it's it's a little scary how fast it
Speaker 9: starts to move. But I will say that this zone
Speaker 9: that we're in right now, six and nine is the
Speaker 9: most fun I've ever had. Their little personalities are starting
Speaker 9: to come out. They'll complay golf with me. They love music.
Speaker 9: The lead guitar player from Lady A lives down the
Speaker 9: street from me, and he's been given my oldest guitar lessons.
Speaker 9: Slim shout out for being an awesome guy. But it
Speaker 9: so my oldest is learning how to play guitar and
Speaker 9: learning country music, and I think that's like the coolest
Speaker 9: thing for me.
Speaker 4: I told him.
Speaker 9: I was like, man, you know, my guitar teacher was
Speaker 9: drinking beer in the Guitar center parking lot, like you're
Speaker 9: you're getting guitar lessons from the lead player of Lady A.
Speaker 9: You're doing pretty good, buddy. But we're having a blast.
Speaker 9: And so far they've got a lot of the same
Speaker 9: interest that I do, which makes it really fun being
Speaker 9: a dad.
Speaker 4: Do your kids want to do music? They love music?
Speaker 9: You know, they're so young right now, they've kind of
Speaker 9: got stars in their eyes with it. But they're also
Speaker 9: doing great in school. I'm trying to encourage them to
Speaker 9: do anything else because it's a tough road.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 4: It's a it's it's a tough road. Probably a different
Speaker 4: road though, if your dad, I think multiple number one,
Speaker 4: I think I could steer them in a better direction
Speaker 4: than I went.
Speaker 9: I also could be like the Nashville case study of
Speaker 9: like how to make the worst decisions possible. I think
Speaker 9: that's a lot of Nashville artists and falling in every
Speaker 9: bear trap that you could fall in. So I could
Speaker 9: definitely give them some advice. But it doesn't matter what
Speaker 9: head start you have and music, it's tough, and I
Speaker 9: think that that's why it is why people are so
Speaker 9: drawn to it too. Is there are I mean, you
Speaker 9: can get head starts, but there's no shortcuts. Like, at
Speaker 9: the end of the day, you have to connect with people,
Speaker 9: and nobody can do that for you. And that was
Speaker 9: a lesson that I had to learn when I moved
Speaker 9: to town too. You know, like, hey man, if this
Speaker 9: guy would post me on my social media or like,
Speaker 9: you know, if this guy would take me on tour,
Speaker 9: or if this guy would do a song with me,
Speaker 9: you know, then I could be famous. But at the
Speaker 9: end of the day, it really is like you have
Speaker 9: to do it for yourself. You have to connect with people.
Speaker 9: You have to no matter how small that fan group is.
Speaker 9: If it's five diehard fans that you connect with, you
Speaker 9: have to start that and build that and turn it
Speaker 9: into something.
Speaker 6: And so.
Speaker 9: All that to say, yes, I could point them in
Speaker 9: the right direction with me music, but it's it's a
Speaker 9: tough road no matter who's doing it.
Speaker 4: Give me some advice about being a dad.
Speaker 9: I'm so excited for you, by the way, bring him everywhere.
Speaker 9: That was the best advice that I ever got and
Speaker 9: it's something that I still try to do and something
Speaker 9: that you know, I feel like our family is so
Speaker 9: close because of it. So I would say, you know,
Speaker 9: take your kids wherever you can. I think that it
Speaker 9: helps them see how you act in social settings. It
Speaker 9: helps expose them to the world like the good and
Speaker 9: the bad. See you win, see you fall in your
Speaker 9: face sometimes, and it's like you know when you when
Speaker 9: you live life together, you have stuff to talk about
Speaker 9: and connect over.
Speaker 4: Did you change many diapers?
Speaker 6: I did?
Speaker 9: I'll never forget. My oldest was a was a super premium.
Speaker 9: He was born at three pounds wow, and so it
Speaker 9: was a little scary. We didn't know if he was
Speaker 9: gonna gonna make it, and we we did about a
Speaker 9: month and a half in the nick you and it was.
Speaker 9: It was a tough time. And he's big bruiser, healthy now.
Speaker 9: But I remember the first time that I was able
Speaker 9: to change his diaper, he was a little like bird
Speaker 9: and I was scared I was going to break his leg.
Speaker 4: I had two fingers holding his leg up, just dangling.
Speaker 9: And you know, a four pound babies blowout, it's still
Speaker 9: a blowout, man, It's it's a lot. And uh then
Speaker 9: when they got a little more sturdy, it was easy
Speaker 9: for me. I just kind of slap him down and
Speaker 9: wipe it up and onto the next one. But those
Speaker 9: first few months changing the premium diapers or something else.
Speaker 5: Eddie acts like baby poop is the absolute worst thing.
Speaker 5: I was told by others there's not a lot of
Speaker 5: food in there, so it just is gross because of
Speaker 5: the association.
Speaker 4: But it's really not. You tell me. I'm kind of
Speaker 4: with Eddie, man.
Speaker 9: I have a I have a hair trigger gag reflex too, man.
Speaker 9: And like you'll see some colors you don't want to see,
Speaker 9: some smells you don't want to see. The texture is rough,
Speaker 9: it's yeah, I wouldn't recommend it, but it's a when
Speaker 9: it's your own it's easier, right, Like it's uh, when
Speaker 9: it's your own blood, it's it's a little bit easier.
Speaker 9: So shout out to my sister, my aunt Katie. She
Speaker 9: she was great about wiping diapers when they weren't her,
Speaker 9: so I love her for that too.
Speaker 4: I was doing on the doll.
Speaker 5: I was practicing where you put the fresh diaper underneath
Speaker 5: the diaper they're wearing, so when you pull it off,
Speaker 5: if they continue to blow out, it just blows into
Speaker 5: that diaper.
Speaker 4: And he thought away as well, is that what what?
Speaker 4: What's your what was your style? Yep, that's what I did.
Speaker 4: The diaper under the diaper was great.
Speaker 9: But they also, man, they'll sell you on all kinds
Speaker 9: of all kinds of things that the peepee tent, you know,
Speaker 9: put a tent over the top of it, say the
Speaker 9: peptp that's right, so you don't, you know, take a
Speaker 9: stream to the face, or you know, all kinds of things.
Speaker 9: But I think the diaper under the diaper, that's a
Speaker 9: that's a tried and true OG method.
Speaker 5: I know we've talked about it before, but our audience,
Speaker 5: a lot of them are new. We talked about you
Speaker 5: being in a frat, but Glenn Powell was your younger
Speaker 5: frat brother.
Speaker 4: He was. He was a year younger than me. The
Speaker 4: actor Glenn Powell, who was Top Gun. What else has
Speaker 4: he been in?
Speaker 6: Uh he's in that other one.
Speaker 1: With Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's got the Chad Powers things, eleven apps.
Speaker 7: He was.
Speaker 4: He super hot. He was in college. He I think
Speaker 4: he was born like that.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 9: I remember when Glenn joined our fraternity, like watching him
Speaker 9: walk into a party for.
Speaker 4: The first time and watching everything. It was like he
Speaker 4: wasn't even in the movies yet.
Speaker 9: And you could hear the background music in the slow
Speaker 9: mo when he walked in but that also he was
Speaker 9: like the most humble, cool guy ever and so like
Speaker 9: I couldn't be more happy for his success.
Speaker 4: We text all the time.
Speaker 9: I just texted me yesterday, and he roots for me,
Speaker 9: sends me a text every time we have a you know,
Speaker 9: a little success in our world. And we still catch
Speaker 9: up at Texas football games every now and then. But
Speaker 9: to see him taking over the world the way that
Speaker 9: he has makes me so proud and nobody deserves it more.
Speaker 9: He's a He's a genuinely great dude worth rooting for.
Speaker 4: And both of you guys are hardcore. University of Texas, yes,
Speaker 4: like you both wear it once you're there. It's kind
Speaker 4: of in your blood.
Speaker 5: Man, I was there, but no I know, but we
Speaker 5: grow up being like Texas is bigger than us. We
Speaker 5: don't like them the university. I love Austin. It's my
Speaker 5: favorite city, but it was tough being a Razorback living
Speaker 5: with bern Orton.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 9: I super commend you two because you you ride or
Speaker 9: die too with your team with the Razorbacks here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no bandwagon in you. My youngest I'm trying to.
Speaker 9: Teach him because we'll watch football together all the time
Speaker 9: and whatever team is winning at that current point in
Speaker 9: the game, is who he'll change the rooting for. I'm like, hey, buddy,
Speaker 9: you can't. Nobody likes a bandwagon guy. You got to
Speaker 9: pick and stick with it. So, yeah, you played golf
Speaker 9: at University of Texas. Did you win a tournament to
Speaker 9: get on the team?
Speaker 4: I did.
Speaker 9: There was a I like to joke that I single
Speaker 9: handedly started and ended the walk on program at Texas.
Speaker 9: There was a walk on tournament that they had had
Speaker 9: every year. Whoever wanted to come play could play in it,
Speaker 9: and it gave you a chance to walk on, but
Speaker 9: the coach still had to make the decision that you
Speaker 9: were able to walk on. And so I played it
Speaker 9: and I wanted I think I wanted by like six shots.
Speaker 9: I played really well, and it gave me an opportunity
Speaker 9: to play in front of the coach. And then I
Speaker 9: played eighteen holes in front of coach. He rode around
Speaker 9: in a golf cart watching me play, and I remember
Speaker 9: being so dang nervous, but I ended up playing okay,
Speaker 9: and he gave me a bag and a locker and
Speaker 9: a spot on the team. And then right around the
Speaker 9: end of my career, I only played one year at Texas,
Speaker 9: right around the end of my career, they had a
Speaker 9: senior in high school come for his campus visit and
Speaker 9: he was like the prize recruit for Texas and he
Speaker 9: was I guaranteed you to go to the PGA tour
Speaker 9: and he asked me to take him out. So I
Speaker 9: took him out to a fraternity party and he got
Speaker 9: knocked out within the like first fifteen minutes of being
Speaker 9: at the party from talking trash like punch knocked out,
Speaker 9: punch knocked out black guy. And I remember black guy
Speaker 9: or black Eye, black Guy, black Eye, black eyeball.
Speaker 7: Yeah, if you were like white guy, black guy got
Speaker 7: talking trash about what.
Speaker 9: You know when you're high school college age testosterone. It
Speaker 9: was just, you know, he was running his mouth to somebody.
Speaker 9: You know, I don't really I've never really been a
Speaker 9: big fighter guy. So anyways, he showed up to practice
Speaker 9: this UH the next morning with a black eye as
Speaker 9: like the prize recruit at Texas and UH coach still
Speaker 9: has never let me live that down from.
Speaker 4: Since I took him out.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so I think I was the last walk on
Speaker 9: ever at the University of Texas.
Speaker 4: I thought it was gonna be like in that guy. No,
Speaker 4: I think I ruined his career. Actually, Oh no, the
Speaker 4: guy with the black eye, black eye.
Speaker 1: The guy with the black eye.
Speaker 4: That was good. Yes, he did he ever play there?
Speaker 9: He did, and he played well and he was actually
Speaker 9: a great kid. Got to know him a little better.
Speaker 9: But yeah, I was able to walk on at Texas.
Speaker 9: I was a bench warmer there and I did get
Speaker 9: to know Jordan Speed. I got to play with Jonathan
Speaker 9: Vegas who's on tour now and kind of full circle
Speaker 9: moment the Memorial, which is Jack Nicholas's tournament in Columbus.
Speaker 9: I got to play with Jordan Speed as a celebrity
Speaker 9: and he was my pro that I was paired with
Speaker 9: on the PGA Tour, and so I kind of joked him.
Speaker 9: I was like, you never thought you'd seen me on
Speaker 9: the Jay Buddies. So that was pretty cool.
Speaker 5: That's fine. I got to play with Jordan a couple times.
Speaker 5: I lost a bunch of money to him. My favorite
Speaker 5: thing about playing with Jordan is he took my money. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and some of some of those pros like no, oh,
Speaker 5: don't worry about it.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was like I'm happy to take your money.
Speaker 9: Oh He's like yeah, he'll make you pay him in cash,
Speaker 9: like end of the round, like you're you're not even
Speaker 9: going to get a drink until the money's in his hand.
Speaker 5: But I respected that. Yeah, respective he took the money.
Speaker 5: So you're still going your other shows. February Fifthy're back on.

Speaker 5: I was with Kenny Chesney and he was talking about
Speaker 5: he had he has so many number two's that are
Speaker 5: that are massive songs I watched.
Speaker 9: I watched that interview yesterday. First of all, it was
Speaker 9: awesome and it fired me up to see you on Netflix,
Speaker 9: which is crazy, but also that was that was inspiring
Speaker 9: to me to hear it was no shoes, no shirt,
Speaker 9: no problem, he said, went number two And I was like,
Speaker 9: and you think of some of the other ones. Now
Speaker 9: we're rooting for number one. But wherever it lands, life's good.
Speaker 9: I never thought i'd be here in the first place.
Speaker 9: And before I go, I do have one question to
Speaker 9: ask you. We're ready, Here we go, Eddie, you're involved
Speaker 9: in this too. So recently we all took a trip
Speaker 9: to Chicago to hang out. Yes, it was awesome. It
Speaker 9: was so much fun, a little boy's day trip. And
Speaker 9: I had told you all. I was like, man, life's
Speaker 9: kind of crazy. I can't believe it. But like I'm
Speaker 9: getting recognized like once a day.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 5: So I asked him, I said, how often do you
Speaker 5: get recognized? Because I had been recognized a little bit
Speaker 5: that even there, and I was like, what about you?
Speaker 4: How off? And he goes, I get it, like once
Speaker 4: a day. And we're like.
Speaker 6: Once a day.
Speaker 4: We're stop amy, they wore me out for the rest
Speaker 4: of the day. Maybe we shall never say anything.
Speaker 9: You wish I never say, right, And uh, Like we're
Speaker 9: walking past the security guard to go up Sears Tower
Speaker 9: and Eddie's like talking to the security guard.
Speaker 4: He's asking her.
Speaker 9: He's like, hey, you recognize this guy wearing me out?
Speaker 9: And we sit down to dinner and we hadn't sat
Speaker 9: down to dinner for thirty seconds and a guy comes
Speaker 9: up to me. He's like, hey, man, are you George Bird?
Speaker 9: I am a huge fan. And he's like, so good
Speaker 9: to see you. And then I look at Bobby and
Speaker 9: he has a stupid smile on his face.
Speaker 7: My guess is that they had that guy. They they've
Speaker 7: either got him or paid him or did whatever.
Speaker 4: I have to know.
Speaker 6: I can't question.
Speaker 4: That's my question.
Speaker 1: That's for sure. Something y'all would do.
Speaker 4: You know, it made George feel good? So it is
Speaker 4: what it is?
Speaker 6: I need.
Speaker 4: I need an answer. It happened, it made you feel good.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. First of all, I didn't pay anybody. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but you could ask no who knows. I think he.
Speaker 6: Pay definitely anybody.
Speaker 1: The guy was money.
Speaker 7: That's that's how Bobby would get us. I didn't pay,
Speaker 7: but Eddie maybe did with his money.
Speaker 4: The guy was a George Burdh fan. Man, he didn't
Speaker 4: say he was to me. That fires me up, thank you.
Speaker 5: I will say the guy is a George Bursh fan
Speaker 5: for sure. So he didn't invent the hey are you
Speaker 5: George Bursch?
Speaker 1: But like, did you?
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter what happened.
Speaker 1: And then did you have to say? You know she
Speaker 1: only dances cowboys?
Speaker 4: And he's like, I don't know that one, but maybe
Speaker 4: the second one. No, what okay? Can I be honest?
Speaker 1: That's what we're asking.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 5: What happened was we got down and people went to
Speaker 5: the bathroom like we because we had been walking around
Speaker 5: Wrigleyfield and stuff. And so a guy said, hey, Bobby Bones,
Speaker 5: and I said what up? And he said, hey, big fan,
Speaker 5: and I said, when we sit down, there's gonna be
Speaker 5: an artist with us. If you know who it is,
Speaker 5: you should go and say hi. I didn't tell him
Speaker 5: who you were, and then he he he.
Speaker 4: Then saw him and.
Speaker 5: Who knows, probably not, but he came up and he
Speaker 5: actually went to one of his shows.
Speaker 4: Oh so, so I think that counts. Yes, yes, And
Speaker 4: he just needed a little prodding. But that's where you're
Speaker 4: a great friend. He said hi to me, and then
Speaker 4: I said, oh, you think this is something wait to
Speaker 4: Sue sits down with us. I didn't say who, and
Speaker 4: then he saw George had gone to a show, went
Speaker 4: and said hi to George. Knew George had nothing to
Speaker 4: do with that. He wa had to sit down and
Speaker 4: he hadn't known, George. He may have gone to Eddie
Speaker 4: and been like, hey, are you whatever? So no, I
Speaker 4: don't take he knew who you are. You are the
Speaker 4: best wed.
Speaker 5: If George said that, we would not stop. We were like, dude,
Speaker 5: you better everybody around here is recognizing you. You can't
Speaker 5: go anywhere.
Speaker 4: They were private security for the rest of.
Speaker 5: The All right, you guys go to Georgia's shows, and
Speaker 5: good luck with this next song regardless. It's a it's
Speaker 5: a monster jam and we can't wait for the Luke

Speaker 6: Deal.
Speaker 4: You're the best, all right there? He is the great
Speaker 4: country superstar.
Speaker 1: Recognized on Recognized once a Day.
Speaker 2: George, it's the best bits of the week with Morgan
Speaker 2: Number two.
Speaker 3: You've probably seen it all over social media. You're also
Speaker 3: probably experiencing something similar depending on where you're at in
Speaker 3: the country. But Nashville was hit pretty bad by the
Speaker 3: Winter Storm Fern and a lot of ice happened, so
Speaker 3: everybody shared their situations and what went down for them
Speaker 3: during the entire chaos of.
Speaker 1: Winter Storm Fern.
Speaker 5: Number three mentioned on the show yesterday that I've never
Speaker 5: seen anything like this ice storm. I've been in far
Speaker 5: bigger winter weather situations, way more snow. I've had ice
Speaker 5: on the road all that, I've never been in an
Speaker 5: ice storm where it was just mostly ice, where trees
Speaker 5: have been completely ripped down just from ice.
Speaker 4: Like we still have power. So we're three days into
Speaker 4: this thing, still no power. Amy. I was trying to
Speaker 4: convince her to come over because I have a studio
Speaker 4: with some heat. My wife and I have been staying
Speaker 4: in a little bit. We have doll It's been a mess.
Speaker 4: But I was like, can come over land the couch
Speaker 4: if you want to fill some heat for a little bit.
Speaker 4: You have no power?
Speaker 7: No, no, I think my son this morning was like
Speaker 7: I can't feel my finger, and I was like.
Speaker 1: Oh, over by the fire.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 4: I was like eight, Lincoln's gonna walk through like our score.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: My cat like I was feeling the bottom of her
Speaker 7: palls and I was like, okay, I'm glad you have fur,
Speaker 7: but like her little pall paths were like so cold.
Speaker 7: But you know, it's like, you know, for us, I'm
Speaker 7: just thankingful we have a house and I have a
Speaker 7: gas fireplace like so I don't have to worry about
Speaker 7: running out of wood. And I have a gas stove
Speaker 7: freaks me out every time I have to light it,
Speaker 7: but I'm thankful for it.
Speaker 5: And then you have to learn how to do things
Speaker 5: like with Amy open her garage and she goes, I
Speaker 5: can't figure how to open my garage. Oh, and instead
Speaker 5: of explaining it to her, which I've had to figure
Speaker 5: out the hard we have broken many a garage, I
Speaker 5: was like, take a picture of a chat GBT. You
Speaker 5: don't explain exactly how to do it.
Speaker 4: Is that what you did?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Like you? I, well, my internet hadn't been working, like
Speaker 7: I hadn't been able to pull anything up, and so
Speaker 7: I had sell but still on my phone, if I
Speaker 7: tried to go to the internet, I couldn't do anything.
Speaker 7: Like I would try to go to a website and
Speaker 7: I couldn't go. And then whenever you said that, I
Speaker 7: almost was like, whatever, my phone's not gonna work. And
Speaker 7: then sure enough, at that moment, it was like the
Speaker 7: perfect timing because I pulled it up. I did what
Speaker 7: you said, and then it taught me how to do it.
Speaker 4: And you mostly flick a switch, pull the little cord
Speaker 4: and put them up. It goes right right, and so
Speaker 4: then she's like, I can't get it. Just stay. I'm like,
Speaker 4: that's a hype thing. You just got to get it
Speaker 4: over that curve, right.
Speaker 1: We couldn't.
Speaker 7: Stevenson ended up getting up on a stool and then
Speaker 7: he held it up while I backed out, Like, standing
Speaker 7: on the stool, he held it.
Speaker 1: Yes, He's like, mom, don't hit me, don't hit me.
Speaker 1: I was like, we're good, We're good.
Speaker 7: And then we got out and I was like, oh
Speaker 7: it felt good though, Like I was like, I accomplish something,
Speaker 7: so thank you for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been at least three days no power, no
Speaker 4: power for you, lunchbock.
Speaker 6: You have power.
Speaker 8: I do have power. So now I feel bad after
Speaker 8: twenty seven hours I had power.
Speaker 4: Uh, it was only a day. You only had gone
Speaker 4: to day.
Speaker 8: I was only gone to day. But it was really cold,
Speaker 8: and you know what do you do with no power?
Speaker 8: It's like, man, you just bundle up and toughen out, right, Like,
Speaker 8: I mean, why go to a hotel?
Speaker 4: Anybody else? Eddie never lost power.
Speaker 6: Man, I was one of the lucky ones. Never lost power.
Speaker 4: He never heard power.
Speaker 6: I feel bad.
Speaker 4: Well, you guys were like a different class. I was
Speaker 4: looking at you guys like the rich fuck I know,
Speaker 4: like on the Titanic, you guys were getting out on
Speaker 4: the fancy boats. It was allowing people like oh we
Speaker 4: paid extra boat, yes.
Speaker 6: And then like our son would go run downstairs like, oh,
Speaker 6: it's kind of cold in here, dad. Like I was stopped, like,
Speaker 6: don't even say that power.
Speaker 5: We've been freezing. And then we would be next to
Speaker 5: the fireplace as well. And then I'd go to chat
Speaker 5: GBT and they were like, bro, if your wife's pregnant, like,
Speaker 5: don't even risk with the carbon monoxide, Like it could
Speaker 5: go out the flu, but don't even risk it. And
Speaker 5: so we would go to the Bobbycast studios whether there's
Speaker 5: just a little bit of heat and trying. It's been
Speaker 5: a mess. But there are full massive trees still on
Speaker 5: the main road that are covering the road where they
Speaker 5: have now saw it a little bit off, so you
Speaker 5: have to take turns on one side going around it.
Speaker 5: But they're still laying on top of power lines. So
Speaker 5: the power is not coming back anytime soon. As of
Speaker 5: right now, it looks like there's still like one hundred
Speaker 5: and thirty thousand people just in town that don't have power.
Speaker 5: But the eye says, this has been such a weird
Speaker 5: storm because just looking the roads are fine. Now, everything's good.
Speaker 5: It's still slick in some places, but for the most
Speaker 5: part it's wide open. But the eyes has crippled. It's
Speaker 5: torn down complete trees in my yard. And I didn't
Speaker 5: land on anything, so who cares. Eddie has a hill
Speaker 5: by his house and people didn't want to get caught
Speaker 5: up by the eye, so they parked at bottom of
Speaker 5: the hill.
Speaker 6: They were being smart, right, like, we're not gonna make
Speaker 6: it down the hill, so let's just park at the
Speaker 6: bottom of the hill. Except trees fell on the car.
Speaker 4: Crashed, the cars, wiped out the cars.
Speaker 6: Can you imagine the guys like, I was smart. He
Speaker 6: walked down, there's like no car.
Speaker 7: That's what my boyfriend left his house. He went by
Speaker 7: a neighbor's like turned the corner and he saw a car.
Speaker 7: They had parked at the bottom of their driveway for
Speaker 7: the same thing, just to be smart so they could
Speaker 7: get out, and a.
Speaker 1: Tree right there, boom fell on the car, just like that.
Speaker 7: And it's like, I'm sure there's stories like this all
Speaker 7: over where they're just like, oh my gosh, if I
Speaker 7: could redo it.
Speaker 5: On day one after the storm, I wasn't feeling confident
Speaker 5: about getting out, and so Eddie picks me up in
Speaker 5: his jeep, like my boyfriend does.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, come on in, and so we.
Speaker 4: Drove in, big boy, Thank you, thank hey, thank you Daddy.
Speaker 4: And so we drove in and this massive tree was
Speaker 4: down in the middle of the road and the car
Speaker 4: was crashed into it completely. It's completely smashed.
Speaker 5: So either that car's going at night, doesn't see the tree,
Speaker 5: powers out and just boom smashes into it, or it
Speaker 5: gets close slams on its break. Either way, the car
Speaker 5: was probably totaled from the tree.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you could even see the skid marks of where
Speaker 6: the car was just like just sliding and helplessly boom
Speaker 6: right on the tree.
Speaker 4: So we're still dealing with it here.
Speaker 6: What about the big Old's interstate sign?
Speaker 4: The semi on the interstate hit It kind of fell
Speaker 4: to this sne Is that what happened knocked the whole
Speaker 4: sign up?
Speaker 1: Okay, because I.
Speaker 7: Saw the sign completely down, and I'm like, did the
Speaker 7: ice do that?
Speaker 5: What I'm not going to take from a lot of
Speaker 5: our cold listeners that live in cold places.
Speaker 4: I'm not taking any of this. Well, you guys just
Speaker 4: don't used to the cold weather. This is different. I'm
Speaker 4: not used to the cold weather. I'm not used to snow.
Speaker 5: When it snows two feet, I'm like just graazy when
Speaker 5: it's the roads are icy. Look, this is unlike anything
Speaker 5: I've ever been in before because it didn't look like much,
Speaker 5: did it. No, it never seemed like a big crazy storm.
Speaker 5: But the ice got so heavy it just started ripping
Speaker 5: trees and then you would just hear boom boom, boom boom,
Speaker 5: trees falling everywhere. It was crazy, don't like you think
Speaker 5: I've ever seen.
Speaker 6: And then when you look at like they say, oh,
Speaker 6: the ice is going to be half an inch, like, oh,
Speaker 6: that's not It's like that's tiny.
Speaker 4: I can chew through that on an ice cube.
Speaker 6: Yeah, when that's covered covering a tree, that's a whole
Speaker 6: different story.
Speaker 5: Get out of our front yard because there are massive
Speaker 5: trees in front of the room.
Speaker 4: It's wild, but we're here. But I think we should
Speaker 4: deserve some sort of CMA for being just just getting here.
Speaker 4: That's the rice, you know. Hopefully it's the awards they
Speaker 4: we like take second recognized group of folks risk it
Speaker 4: all to be in there. That's us, right, yeah, I
Speaker 4: guess not okay.
Speaker 6: I mean you can say that speech.
Speaker 4: I go up, hey, that's us right. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So that's our updates here. I've I fell this morning.
Speaker 5: My back and my neck are killed. It's the only
Speaker 5: time I've fallen on the Oh yeah hard, because I
Speaker 5: was trees have fallen knocked down, like fences and gates,
Speaker 5: so I can't let the dog just run out in
Speaker 5: the backyard. And I was walking Eller on a leash,

Speaker 5: of have my tracks down, but she was pulling me
Speaker 5: right on ice.
Speaker 4: I fell and I like bent like a pretzel.
Speaker 5: And the first thing I think is I had my
Speaker 5: ankle surgically repaired, and I'm like, oh god, so it's okay.
Speaker 5: And then I slowly get up and then I stand
Speaker 5: up and I'm like, ok get that hurt. And I
Speaker 5: kept walking and it was all good.

Speaker 5: use your mats, because that's the first thing you do.
Speaker 5: I've been stuck many times. You to put the mats
Speaker 5: under there to take it some attraction. That didn't work
Speaker 5: because he'd already dug holes from just spinning so much,
Speaker 5: and it had gone from ice that it was starting
Speaker 5: to be the dirt. So then we got like some tree.
Speaker 5: We're cramming tree limbs and stuff under there just to
Speaker 5: get any try to get any traction with the wheels,
Speaker 5: and so we go.

Speaker 5: were coming down the roads. We did, we didn't hit
Speaker 5: them like, she didn't jump out there and lose control.
Speaker 5: And so we go again.
Speaker 4: We just have to get over this lip on the road,
Speaker 4: this ice, this lip to get on the road. On
Speaker 4: two three. Whoa, we started to get a little traction.
Speaker 4: We're go, go, go, go back set didn't get it.
Speaker 6: Dang's frustrating.
Speaker 5: It's so frustrating, and I start to realize I'm kind
Speaker 5: of getting dirty by this.
Speaker 4: No big deal. Next time, go just nailing it.
Speaker 5: We're pushing as hard as we can. It starts to
Speaker 5: get some lip. By this time, I can feel the
Speaker 5: mud just covering me, my face, all my body, everywhere.

Speaker 3: But I want you to listen first, so and he
Speaker 3: brought a story about how thirty seconds of hugging is
Speaker 3: super beneficial. And then something's happened in the studio because
Speaker 3: of the story. So listen to it and then go
Speaker 3: watch it on our socials at Bobby Bone.
Speaker 4: Show number one. Amy's not gonna give us play by
Speaker 4: play of what happens to our body when we hug someone. Okay,
Speaker 4: go ahead? Uh.
Speaker 7: Second zero to three, your brain registers I am safe.
Speaker 7: Your body doesn't scan for threats. Seconds three through seven,
Speaker 7: oxytocin releases. This is a bonding hormone. It tells your
Speaker 7: nervous system you belong. Second seven through fifteen, This is
Speaker 7: a long hug.
Speaker 4: This feels creepy. Yeah, or somebody died because this is
Speaker 4: a long one ahead.
Speaker 7: Cortisol drops muscles, relax, your breath deepens tension you didn't
Speaker 7: know you were holding.
Speaker 4: Let's go.
Speaker 7: Seconds fifteen through thirty, your paara sympathetic nervous system activates.
Speaker 7: This is when healing happens. Your digestion improves, and your
Speaker 7: heart rate studies. And then finally that stretch of thirty
Speaker 7: seconds to sixty seconds, your body regular lights, your blood
Speaker 7: pressure lowers, your emotional safety deepens and your nervous system resets.
Speaker 4: When does your brain go, I'm in danger. Yeah, fight,
Speaker 4: try to get out of their arms because this isn't normal.
Speaker 1: So there you go.
Speaker 7: You need a hug for at least thirty to sixty
Speaker 7: seconds and you'll get these benefits.
Speaker 1: I mean, how can you not want to hug after
Speaker 1: knowing this?
Speaker 4: What's the longest on their sixty seconds?
Speaker 7: It's between the thirty to sixty second mark that your
Speaker 7: body really starts to regulate.
Speaker 6: Minutes.
Speaker 5: Just let's just do thirty. Yeah, Eddie and Lunchbox to
Speaker 5: stand up here and hug for thirty seconds? No, no,
Speaker 5: no shows how weird this is?
Speaker 1: Tell us what your brain is.
Speaker 4: Hold if you take your headphones off?

Speaker 7: relax here, coming up quick.
Speaker 4: Okay, we need a full embrace on the stage. You
Speaker 4: can't like fight back, okay, Amy, So the first zero
Speaker 4: to three, what's gonna happen? First yer to three?
Speaker 1: Their brain is going to register that they're safe, okay,
Speaker 1: and they're.
Speaker 4: Gonna I'm gonna hit time.
Speaker 5: This is a real hug, so it's gotta be take
Speaker 5: thirty thirty one seconds.
Speaker 4: So it needs to be arms around like a hug.
Speaker 4: But then also your bellies have to touch because that's
Speaker 4: a real hug. Yes, your stomachs have to touch.
Speaker 7: Yes, and like kind of like probably one of your
Speaker 7: heads needs to nestle in the corner the.
Speaker 4: Next Yes, because it's got to be a full hug. Okay, Ready,
Speaker 4: if anybody pulls back, we start over, ready and go okay,
Speaker 4: hug all the way in. Okay, go have time started.
Speaker 1: Safety is registering safety, Safety.
Speaker 4: Is registering many second to now. Okay, calm calm down
Speaker 4: up there, Amy, go ahead, what happen?

Speaker 4: your stomachs, guys.
Speaker 1: Right about now, cortisols should be.

Speaker 4: He's so tense, he's holding his neck. He didn't get
Speaker 4: any benefits of that, hug.
Speaker 6: I think you did, though, Like I was trying to
Speaker 6: squeeze so I can loosen his back muscles because they're
Speaker 6: so tight.
Speaker 8: That's part of the car wreck.
