Speaker 1: but you can like cycle home. I could have cycled home,
Speaker 1: got my car and gone back to her, but I
Speaker 1: was just letting her know I'm on my bikes. It
Speaker 1: would be a minute, okay. And so she said, oh, thanks,
Speaker 1: but no thanks. You said no thanks, No. I just
Speaker 1: laughed at it because I didn't really know what else
Speaker 1: to say. That wasn't gonna help me, okay, and next

Speaker 1: I got cables. I'm coming to you in five minutes away.
Speaker 1: So shout out to Mike D because he actually showed
Speaker 1: up for me instead of just saying he had cables
Speaker 1: and then made an experience. Yeah, that's what happened. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got all everything you need. Hey, is that what
Speaker 1: you need to get out of there? No problem, we
Speaker 1: got all that, except we can't do it because well, Mike,
Speaker 1: nice job, buddy. Listen. Let's if we were rating guys
Speaker 1: based on how good a guy they are. Mike's number one.
Speaker 1: Oh he's the leader, Mike, He's number one in this room,
Speaker 1: at least on the thread that I'm not a part of.
Speaker 1: Don't know how to use jumper cables. Yeah, you gotta
Speaker 1: know that coming out of the womb, or you try
Speaker 1: it coming out of the woman to go out one
Speaker 1: and then you figure out real quick how to do
Speaker 1: it right after that. But you're good. What's up with
Speaker 1: the car battery? Yeah, the battery died. I had to
Speaker 1: take it to O'Reilly's. Yeah, and they just put in
Speaker 1: a new battery. Thankfully. It was like two months from
Speaker 1: the warranty going out. It was like sweet battery of
Speaker 1: a place. I'm good to go. You know, you have
Speaker 1: this thing with your voice, right, Sometimes it cuts in
Speaker 1: and out. It almost sounds like you're breaking up though,
Speaker 1: like you're on a bad fee. Yeah, sometimes you never know.
Speaker 1: People listen to that. Me. I thought, what's wrong my radio?
Speaker 1: Which is Morgan's voice? No, it's the radio, all right,
Speaker 1: Mike Dy You're a good dude, man. I don't care
Speaker 1: what they say about you. All right, Morgan, glad you're here.
Speaker 1: Thank glad you got a new battery. It's the best
Speaker 1: bits of the week with Morgan number two. Y'all had
Speaker 1: a field day with this segment. Online, Bobby shared a
Speaker 1: new technique he's been using because he doesn't really like
Speaker 1: small talk, and when he finds himself in those situations,
Speaker 1: what does he do well. He's been trying something out
Speaker 1: that's really been helping him out. But some people think
Speaker 1: it's pretty awkward for him. He thinks it's genius. Let
Speaker 1: us know your thoughts, because the whole internet practically did,
Speaker 1: and let me tell you, they're pretty split on his
Speaker 1: new idea number six. You guys can decide if this
Speaker 1: is weird or not. But it's something I've kind of
Speaker 1: incorporated in my personal life. My wife and I were
Speaker 1: out this weekend. We're getting breakfast, kind of a brunch thing.
Speaker 1: We had worked out in the morning, and then we
Speaker 1: were looking for somewhere to eat and we walk into
Speaker 1: a breakfast place and we see two people that we know. Okay,
Speaker 1: but it's a small place, so you got to talk
Speaker 1: for a little bit. I'm not just a big small
Speaker 1: talk guy anyway, and I like them. I was really
Speaker 1: hungry any breakfast before I worked out, and then it's
Speaker 1: time to eat, and so we're there, they're walking out,
Speaker 1: we're walking in. I got nothing to do but sit
Speaker 1: and talk for a second, and so we peeled off
Speaker 1: in twos. Just standing there and two husbands and two
Speaker 1: wives and they're talking and Caitlin and her they're talking
Speaker 1: and me and him, and I honestly just ran us
Speaker 1: up to say, I hate small talk, and I literally
Speaker 1: ran out of stuff that I would have liked to
Speaker 1: have talked about. So what I do now? As I go, Hey,
Speaker 1: I think that's all I got to say? Why don't
Speaker 1: we just listen to them? Oh? You actually say that? Though,
Speaker 1: yes I do. And this has happened a couple of
Speaker 1: times where I just want to be honest and I
Speaker 1: don't want to do the fake small talk. I saw
Speaker 1: someone at a show recently and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I guess that's really all we got to talk about,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna move on, okay, And I think they
Speaker 1: found that refreshing. And whenever I did the breakfast thing,
Speaker 1: I was like, well, that's pretty much, man, all I
Speaker 1: gotta say. So let's just focus over here on the girls.
Speaker 1: And I think he was a little shrugged by how
Speaker 1: odd that was, but I also think he appreciated the honesty,
Speaker 1: and so we did, and so I really don't think
Speaker 1: anything about it. I'd never really talked to Kaitlin about it.
Speaker 1: She knows at times I would at Sam socially awkward.
Speaker 1: It feels awkward at times, but I know socially where
Speaker 1: I want to go and what I want to do,
Speaker 1: and at times that can be awkward for the other person.
Speaker 1: So we walked out after breakfast and she goes, I
Speaker 1: heard you just stopped talking and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: she goes, interesting play. She goes, because you didn't just
Speaker 1: stop talking. You said I'm done talking. Let's just listen
Speaker 1: to them, and she goes, I heard it in the
Speaker 1: back like you guys, because I didn't want to acknowledge
Speaker 1: it because I was talking to her, and she just but, um, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a little awkward. And I was like, yep, but
Speaker 1: we stopped talking and you got you were freed earlier
Speaker 1: because then we're focusing on use of the attentions on them.
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, I guess we should go, and
Speaker 1: you know what, you know who ate pretty soon after that.
Speaker 1: This guy pretty awesome. Okay, So that's what I do now.
Speaker 1: I don't go into it going I can't wait to
Speaker 1: tell them I'm done talking. And if someone tells me
Speaker 1: that too, I'm just grateful because sometimes you get cornered
Speaker 1: and neither one of you want to be talking in
Speaker 1: a small talk situation, and so it's just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we ran out of stuff, and right when I felt that,
Speaker 1: law I was like, oh, I guess that's all we
Speaker 1: got to talk about. And so I mean, at least
Speaker 1: she had the hey, let's go see let's listen to
Speaker 1: our wives talk. But like say, Caitlin's not present, Well
Speaker 1: I did that, Like I said, I was in concert
Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, I guess that's all we
Speaker 1: gotta say. So then you just keep what you walk away.
Speaker 1: I said, I'm going to keep moving, So yes, I
Speaker 1: say it, and then I move just trying to picture it.
Speaker 1: I'm very productive as far as like you don't spend
Speaker 1: them lunch time. They don't want to be there either.
Speaker 1: I'm not being rude, I'm just being honest. I love it.
Speaker 1: It's genius, it's bold, and it's smart. It's gonna save
Speaker 1: us so much awkwardness because what you do is when
Speaker 1: you get that lull everybody for everybody, you look around
Speaker 1: like how am I gonna get out of here? What
Speaker 1: am I gonna do? Or you automatically grab your phone
Speaker 1: to act like you're looking at something so instead to say,
Speaker 1: hey man, it was a good talk. I think we're
Speaker 1: out of things. I'm gonna move on that's it. It's genius,
Speaker 1: that's it, because both there's a lull for both people
Speaker 1: is both people are wanting out. Both were talking to me.
Speaker 1: We're right in the middle of a lunchbox and I go,
Speaker 1: I'm done talking to you. That's rude. Yeah, he was
Speaker 1: still in the middle of a sentence. But if we
Speaker 1: finished and it's like you look, well, I guess that's it.
Speaker 1: All right, We've both said our stuff. I want to
Speaker 1: move on. Now does the other person acknowledge, like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, we are done, or do you them for
Speaker 1: a second, Because I feel this technique is new. I
Speaker 1: feel it's something that a lot of people maybe haven't
Speaker 1: ventured in that world yet because it is awkward at first.
Speaker 1: But I think he was like, huh, okay, but what
Speaker 1: did you get moved on on? Every gonna become a
Speaker 1: mover on or everybody to do the same thing. You're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, you know what, that's great? The line again, well,
Speaker 1: it can be whatever you wanted to be. Give us.
Speaker 1: You and I are talking and we're law. We're law
Speaker 1: here three two one law. Well, Well, I guess that's
Speaker 1: all we got to talk about. It. Really good to
Speaker 1: see I'm gonna move on over here. Perfect. That doesn't
Speaker 1: even feel that weird. Weird. You're right, no part of
Speaker 1: it is aggressive. But also I might go cry, No,
Speaker 1: there's no need. It's really funny. If you said that
Speaker 1: to me, Eddie, that's law here on the count you
Speaker 1: take over. Oh gosh, I would never do this, by
Speaker 1: the way, the law set for one second, then you
Speaker 1: take yeah, so it's really and so there it was
Speaker 1: and eight three bottles of pasta. That's crety. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: all right, man, I guess we're done talking here, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get going. Good seeing you though, to see
Speaker 1: you too, buddy. All right, that's it. It sounded natural,
Speaker 1: it does. How funny wants to be there a law? Wow?
Speaker 1: So hey, yeah, that's better. You really have to go
Speaker 1: at and be like, well, I guess that's all we
Speaker 1: gotta say. It's not right. It's all we got be
Speaker 1: moving on. You gotta go now unless they have something
Speaker 1: else to say that, but there's never a law less
Speaker 1: somebody's got something to say that's right, but the happy
Speaker 1: trails and then you get out of it there, okay,
Speaker 1: so that's all. Just take a little something from me,
Speaker 1: try it. Oh, my gosh, no, no, try you're you're
Speaker 1: actually doing a service to the other person. That's no.
Speaker 1: I understand your point. I understand your point. Just for
Speaker 1: some of us practicing this is going to be really bad, yes,
Speaker 1: especially if you're not comfortable in awkward situations, which I'm
Speaker 1: absolutely fine in. I like it, thrive in it sometimes.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, all right, boy, we've said it all.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out of here. We've said it all.
Speaker 1: Many of those Well, how about that we couldn't say
Speaker 1: another word? Good? I guess a lot of stuff talking
Speaker 1: about Man, that's good. Good talk. Though you got other
Speaker 1: limitless man. That's going to cut out all the weather talk.
Speaker 1: I mean, weather talk's gonna be done. Absolutely love it
Speaker 1: because on my phone up. All right, how about how
Speaker 1: about that conversation? That was a good one. Maybe next
Speaker 1: time we'll do it again. All right, Okay, that's it.
Speaker 1: It works. Persons a little shocked when you do it
Speaker 1: the first time, but it works. Okay, all right, there
Speaker 1: you go. The more you know, thank you. It's the
Speaker 1: best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two. Lunchbox
Speaker 1: believed he got his best ever audio this week when
Speaker 1: he went to a sandwich shop and was in the
Speaker 1: middle of a huge yelling match. He was part of
Speaker 1: the cause of it between an employee and a customer,
Speaker 1: and he started recording audio. Thought it was the best
Speaker 1: thing he's ever gotten. It really wasn't, but you know,
Speaker 1: he was proud of it, so he shared it with us.
Speaker 1: And it's crazy the fact that he was there. And
Speaker 1: then afterwards it was so intense. He called nine one one, so, yeah,
Speaker 1: you just need to hear this for yourself. Number five.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about this except the lunchbox told me.
Speaker 1: Let me read the quote here, I have the best
Speaker 1: audio ever recorded, and then in parentheses he put, I
Speaker 1: am not over hyping this. So what do we have here? Oh?
Speaker 1: Why goodness. I go to get a sandwich, you know,
Speaker 1: a little sandwich shop, and I didn't did the online order,
Speaker 1: and so I walk up and I'm like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I need my sandwich, and they're like, well, kind of
Speaker 1: confused they didn't have it. And then all h double
Speaker 1: hockey sticks breaks loose because your sandwich yes, because some
Speaker 1: lady that is in line gets upset that she's being
Speaker 1: blanking ignored because they're spending time with you because they
Speaker 1: messed up your sandwich? Yes, and so what point do
Speaker 1: you pull out your phone? He hit record when it
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh man, this like I was, well,
Speaker 1: I was gonna get heated. I thought I was gonna
Speaker 1: get heated because they said that they didn't have my sandwich.
Speaker 1: So you were gonna fight them about your sandwich? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And then it just went off the rails. I am
Speaker 1: talking incredible mouth on the floor moment where you're just going,
Speaker 1: is this really it's about you? It's about you? But
Speaker 1: I am so but you didn't do it. I didn't
Speaker 1: do it. But if are you doing anything in the
Speaker 1: room that made it happen? Like, are you upset a
Speaker 1: little bit? No, I'm not even that upset. I'm just like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's cool, it's cool, you know, trying to figure it out,
Speaker 1: and the lady goes, that was the other lady, like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to know why I'm being blinking ignored,
Speaker 1: and one of the workers said, excuse me. She goes,
Speaker 1: I'm about to get and then the well, I don't
Speaker 1: know what part of it. I don't either, I'm just
Speaker 1: doing And then the worker goes, I don't know who
Speaker 1: you think you're talking to? And that's when it goes
Speaker 1: down and then the greatest audio ever recorded, let's happens
Speaker 1: go But no, no, it's not he No, I didn't
Speaker 1: mean to cause the prom I didn't know. I was
Speaker 1: just trying. Man. I don't know one word that was said.
Speaker 1: One word had a lot of believes. Hold sound like
Speaker 1: it was did you with another bedroom? I'll be honest,
Speaker 1: hold on, did you hear the end? Sound like you
Speaker 1: recorded off TV from another bedroom? I don't even know
Speaker 1: what they were saying here the end? I heard nothing.
Speaker 1: Did they say I heard of this? Now? Tell us
Speaker 1: very ending? The customer says, someone gets shot up in here?
Speaker 1: I didn't hear that. Ray, can you play that? Just
Speaker 1: that part? I mean that. Just fast forward to the
Speaker 1: end a little bit, and it's at the very end,
Speaker 1: very end. Is that when you shut your phone off?
Speaker 1: Back away? All right? Go ahead? Have you shot up
Speaker 1: in here like that? But I still I can still
Speaker 1: let make it out. How unbelievable, guys. This went on
Speaker 1: for seven minute of them just screaming at each other,
Speaker 1: and then she says someone gets shot up in here,
Speaker 1: and that's when I was like, oh, like sandwich, anyway,
Speaker 1: did you get your sandwich. Yeah, I never got my sandwo. No,
Speaker 1: did you pay for it? Yeah? I paid online. But
Speaker 1: once I hear get shot up in here, what do
Speaker 1: you do? Yeah? You get out? Leave? Yeah? And then
Speaker 1: what do you do? Do you call nine on one?
Speaker 1: That's why he was leading us to He wanted to listen.
Speaker 1: The girl said, someone gets shot up in here. We
Speaker 1: heard Okay, let me play a couple of clubs hold
Speaker 1: on lunchboxes reaction of the fight of his thoughts to
Speaker 1: the people in ball who are these people? This? Well?
Speaker 1: So this is like I didn't leave immediately, right, okay?
Speaker 1: Why would you leave immediately? Hold on? What do you do? Leave?
Speaker 1: In twenty two minutes because after she says shot up
Speaker 1: in here, she walks out and I'm just sitting there
Speaker 1: and I'm like, uh so I'm talking to the worker like,
Speaker 1: hey man, like is the audio better though this clip?
Speaker 1: Like can you actually hear him? You didn't hear the bleeps?
Speaker 1: I can hear. Okay, here's the lunchbox talking to the worker.
Speaker 1: We all have bad days, I know, but I mean
Speaker 1: we got I got to say necessary, but what she
Speaker 1: said was what she said was unnecessary too. It ain't
Speaker 1: my period. What she said she's gonna come shoot her.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean what I mean, is that really?
Speaker 1: Is that really? I mean, just my you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, it's like, is that the answer? What's
Speaker 1: he saying? I am trying to Okay, So it's a
Speaker 1: crazy situation. Not best audio. Recorded audio is actually pretty
Speaker 1: poor if we're just being honest. I mean, have you
Speaker 1: I mean I was ready for them to come. I
Speaker 1: was ready for to come around and them to actually
Speaker 1: start fighting, and I was gonna have the most viral
Speaker 1: video ever. But why didn't you leave when she said
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shoot somebody? And if you were gonna stay,
Speaker 1: why would you not record it closer to mouths? Like
Speaker 1: if I can't walk up to them and stick it
Speaker 1: in front of their face, why not Ham'm recording this? Heyboddy,
Speaker 1: lest I'm glad you didn't get no, no no, no, no,
Speaker 1: get What would you have done? No? No No, no? What?
Speaker 1: I left immediately? Yeah, I'd have been scared. So was
Speaker 1: it the customer that said they're gonna shoot or the employee? No,
Speaker 1: the customer was gonna get some much shot up in here. Okay.
Speaker 1: I was just clarifying because when the customers already gone,
Speaker 1: and he's asking the employees. He's like was that necessary?
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, we don't. Yeah. He was asking
Speaker 1: the employees very like weird even, and they would be
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying. Because the guy apologized
Speaker 1: to me he was sorry about that, I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I was. It was very I was like, holy, very nervous.
Speaker 1: So then I had a call nine one one. Do
Speaker 1: you have a clup of that? No, I don't have
Speaker 1: a clup of that. I might be the best audio week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping. I'm hoping Scooba can track that down. What
Speaker 1: did you say to them? I was just like, hey,
Speaker 1: I was just at this restaurant and there was like
Speaker 1: a fight between the employee and the customer. And I
Speaker 1: probably sounded more manly than this. I was probably like
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, the customer kind of threatened to
Speaker 1: shoot people. So I don't know, like if you guys
Speaker 1: need to come up here or something, you know, something
Speaker 1: along those lines. But I mean it was un like
Speaker 1: you you see those videos that go viral online and
Speaker 1: I lived it and it was so incredible because the
Speaker 1: woman that the customer was on a crutch and she
Speaker 1: was like I don't care about I'm gonna crutch. I'll
Speaker 1: still whoop your ba ba back. You pulled out a trumpet. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: And then she called her she goes, you poor restaurant
Speaker 1: working broke piece of beeB and I was like, dang,
Speaker 1: it was awesome. It's not I didn't call that awesome
Speaker 1: quicker out of left center, But yes, I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: But I mean I had to see what happened at
Speaker 1: the end. And when she said, shoot, that's what I
Speaker 1: was like. In a TV show, you don't need see
Speaker 1: what happens at the end, you know the series. You
Speaker 1: don't need to catch a series ending. You just just leave.
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna go, hey, we're gonna shoot. You know, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're damn When they said shoot, I said, I don't
Speaker 1: care about my sandwich anymore. No you did, I did?
Speaker 1: I did. I kind of talked to him about my
Speaker 1: sandwich for a little bit longer than I was, like,
Speaker 1: you know what, the sandwich is probably not as important either.
Speaker 1: Question is this the best audio ever recorded? That he
Speaker 1: promised us and he's not over hyping this? Would you
Speaker 1: agree with that statement? Amy? The story is awesome, but
Speaker 1: the audio is not the story, it's pretty good, pretty good,
Speaker 1: But I was witnessed to shooting and the audio was awful. Eddie,
Speaker 1: it was be poor audio. Yeah, in the story, great story.
Speaker 1: I wish I would have been there. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: Well none, I want to set shot up. I'm apparently
Speaker 1: they don't make your sandwiches right. But I get why
Speaker 1: the audio is cool to you because it helps prove
Speaker 1: that this really didn't happen. And it's crazy. Yes, Like
Speaker 1: I sat there for seven minutes watching a customer and
Speaker 1: an employee yell at each other like stopping. I'm like, guys,
Speaker 1: hang out, hang out. No, And then I was thinking
Speaker 1: in the back of my head, I was like this
Speaker 1: all started because I was trying to get my sandwich. Wow. Wow,
Speaker 1: it's the best. It's of the week with Morgan number two.
Speaker 1: We missed Employee of the Month for June because we
Speaker 1: were on vacation, so this week we chose one Employee
Speaker 1: of the month for June and July, and it was
Speaker 1: quite the showdown between two members on the show. A
Speaker 1: lot of people got cut pretty easily right away, but
Speaker 1: then it came down to two and then they got
Speaker 1: to spin the wheel. Whatever they landed on they got
Speaker 1: triple what that was so pretty exciting stuff. Right here?
Speaker 1: Check out who is Employee of the Month on the
Speaker 1: Bobby Bone Show for June and July. Number four, it's
Speaker 1: time for employee of them all? Ye okay, so it's
Speaker 1: the Employee the Month for June plus July because we're
Speaker 1: on vacation for a bit of this, so it's combined.
Speaker 1: Each month, I recognized the member of the show who
Speaker 1: has brought the best content, the best attitude, who has
Speaker 1: gone above and beyond all aspects of their role. The
Speaker 1: last employee of the Month was Morgan. Let's climb for her.
Speaker 1: She is, she can be on her way out. So
Speaker 1: if you win, I'll tell you who wins in a second.
Speaker 1: You're just gonna want to spend the wheel because as
Speaker 1: I unveil it, oh my gosh. One of the squares
Speaker 1: is spin again times three. Whoa if it lands on
Speaker 1: spin again times three, whatever you land on is times three? Yea,
Speaker 1: it lands on one hundred dollars on spend again times three,
Speaker 1: you get hundred dollars. Let's keep doing math. If it
Speaker 1: lands on fifty dollars on spend again times three, I
Speaker 1: saw too many people thinking time guys, we gotta work
Speaker 1: faster in our brains. I mean, you can go to
Speaker 1: the wheel if you want to expect you will, or
Speaker 1: you can do self promotion fifteen seconds of whatever you want,
Speaker 1: or the new added wrinkle. Okay, we're wrinkled up today.
Speaker 1: We got two new wrinkles here the block. What's the
Speaker 1: If you win employ the month, you can go to
Speaker 1: the wheel, you can have self promotion, or you can
Speaker 1: officially take someone out of the running for the next month.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I blocking someone. So let's decide the
Speaker 1: employee of them all. Well, everybody has their fifteen second
Speaker 1: little speech ready. When I cut you first, Parson Cut
Speaker 1: for Employee of the month. This was the speech you
Speaker 1: would read if you were to win first. Parson Cut
Speaker 1: is our champion from last time, Morgan Oregan, you didn't
Speaker 1: go to in a row. What would you like to say? Well,
Speaker 1: I would be so honored to be named employee of
Speaker 1: the month again. I've been working really hard to bring
Speaker 1: some content from my life and I felt really good
Speaker 1: about it in the last two months. But I thank
Speaker 1: you all so much for acknowledging it. So thanks again. Team.
Speaker 1: She didn't win speech tached you won well, you did
Speaker 1: a great job last month, but you didn't win. Somebody
Speaker 1: stood out head and shoulders, shoulders. Oh, I like that?
Speaker 1: Who do you think he's gonna win? Lunchbox? Me, me
Speaker 1: and me? Three times I wrote down there's only one
Speaker 1: other person that has a chance to win. Who's that
Speaker 1: one other person? I don't want to admit it, though, Eddie,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about. He did a couple of
Speaker 1: things this month that I thought that now that I
Speaker 1: think about it, where pers right? That's right. He became
Speaker 1: a lifeguard. That's pretty good. Bits that's only been a
Speaker 1: bit he can't possible. Yeah, that's only there's other ones.
Speaker 1: The next person eliminated from Employee of the Month is Ray. Yeah. Sorry, right,
Speaker 1: you did pretty good. You did pretty good, but you're
Speaker 1: not at this week? What would your speech said? Early
Speaker 1: bird gets the worm? One am to be exact, Bones,
Speaker 1: It was smarter to you to get of you to
Speaker 1: give me this award. Someone who's loyal, trustworthy, straight, Bobby bones,
Speaker 1: show class because all these other people are just a
Speaker 1: bunch of snakes in the grass. Was bad. Sorry you
Speaker 1: didn't win it. That was a good one. Still number
Speaker 1: one of my heart. Okay, next up. The person who
Speaker 1: did not win employed the money, not me, Amy, I dude,
Speaker 1: I know, I know Abby's in who Abby is still in?
Speaker 1: Abby our phone screener. Okay, Amy, Europe, like Mannie before me,
Speaker 1: have said, there's no iron team. We all set each
Speaker 1: other up to succeeds. And with that said, I'm thankful
Speaker 1: for those in this room said possible. I am inspired
Speaker 1: by each of you in different ways. Thank you. Okay,
Speaker 1: there she goes. It's hard. I think Abby's wanted more
Speaker 1: than Lunchbox has, though, and he's acting like she isn't
Speaker 1: a factor. I mean, the next person eliminated from employee
Speaker 1: the month is huge. Lunchbox, You're gonna be happy because
Speaker 1: it's Abby. I told you, I told you, yeah, go ahead, Abby,
Speaker 1: you didn't win, But what would you have said? Well,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say yeah. I wasn't even sure if
Speaker 1: I'd be in the running this month, but here I am.
Speaker 1: Thank you to Bobby, everyone I work with, and the
Speaker 1: listeners for your continued support. I appreciate everyone calling in
Speaker 1: and saying how me and Lunchbox is to me and
Speaker 1: that I shouldn't listen to him. I don't listen to him,
Speaker 1: So thank you. Here she lost her own joke in
Speaker 1: her speech. I'm glad she's been her speech talking about me.
Speaker 1: I like that. So, oh my gosh. The judging group
Speaker 1: is Mike D. Scoop Step himself. And then we came
Speaker 1: to this quickly. Yeah, so where they exceeded most improved whoa?
Speaker 1: I mean that means you were pretty bad before. Storylines,
Speaker 1: strong storylines in the past two months, quicker wit than normal,
Speaker 1: and they do work about you. I'm very quick. A
Speaker 1: good stunt, a life part thing that was a good
Speaker 1: that was a stunt, yeah, like like burning cars and stuff.
Speaker 1: And finally they've been performing well at games. You think
Speaker 1: that's you. You're crazy, You're crazy, Soudi and Lunchbox Eddie.
Speaker 1: Do you don't remember the top songs ever played on
Speaker 1: the radio? And I named all fourteen out of fifteen?
Speaker 1: I don't think you gotta did. And you surprised everybody
Speaker 1: though he didn't get fourteen fifty in the country game
Speaker 1: like the Classic Country that you surprised that one. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go to the winner. Yeah, I'm rudy,
Speaker 1: and then I'll have second place read their speech. All right,
Speaker 1: But the winner of Employee of the Month and they'll
Speaker 1: get a spin of the wheel or they'll get a
Speaker 1: block whatever. The winner. I've employee of the month for
Speaker 1: June and July for the loser is good on lunchbox,
Speaker 1: You're gonna be sad because it's okay, here we go quickest,
Speaker 1: which this is. Eddie's been pretty witty as of late,
Speaker 1: says one of the two producers. I will not name
Speaker 1: lots of lol moments. I still laugh thinking about the
Speaker 1: time we were talking about how no one has ever
Speaker 1: laid anymore, and he said he'd leave his car on
Speaker 1: the road and run into work before being late. It's true,
Speaker 1: that's good. Another person wrote, best stunt went to Eddie.
Speaker 1: He took his lifeguard test. It finally went down. He
Speaker 1: took it in past. Another thing in our suggestion box
Speaker 1: was the uber driver getting a refund, getting scammed at
Speaker 1: the gas station, putting up the basketball hoop in the
Speaker 1: cul de sac. All pretty good, most improved. Eddie's tell
Speaker 1: me something good. Eddie's the newest to become a part
Speaker 1: of the rotation. Some days he struggles, but he's been
Speaker 1: struggling less. That's true. Hey, that's very honest. And finally,
Speaker 1: Eddi's been crushing it at games. There's not a game
Speaker 1: he doesn't win. He's a trivia elder. Feud list goes
Speaker 1: on there. He is Wow. Employee, then Eddie, give me
Speaker 1: give us your speech to you what I said, who
Speaker 1: needs to win a billion dollars in the lottery when
Speaker 1: you win employee of the month. This will bring me
Speaker 1: out of my depression and help me realize that life
Speaker 1: goes on. It's been a bad month with my soccer
Speaker 1: team being one five to losing a billion dollars, but
Speaker 1: I am back on top where I deserve to be
Speaker 1: as employee of the month. Now that's all for no thing,
Speaker 1: because I'm back in my depression right. Turn that music
Speaker 1: up a little bit here. He is wow. Thank you
Speaker 1: all so much. I can't believe it this month, guys.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you though, I did prove to all
Speaker 1: the elders that listen to our show that we can
Speaker 1: still do whatever we want even though we're old. And
Speaker 1: I did that by passing a lifeguard test. So let
Speaker 1: that be inspiration for you. Bones Thank you for giving
Speaker 1: me this honor. I promise I will continue to do
Speaker 1: my best to maybe get Employer of the month next year,
Speaker 1: next next, next month, and uh, I thank you for
Speaker 1: the opportunity. This is the most prestigious award I've ever got.
Speaker 1: Decide what you gotta do. You maybe getting better at
Speaker 1: tim suy, but you're not getting better at speech to
Speaker 1: Nobody doesn't tie. Yeah, so you get to choose now
Speaker 1: as you are are a plus video editor, shooter, producer
Speaker 1: and on air, but now you get to be the
Speaker 1: guy that decides his prize. This is tough. I'm assuming
Speaker 1: you don't want the fifteen seconds of promotion. That's a
Speaker 1: lame one. I thought about it. Yeah, and the only
Speaker 1: reason I thought about it, bones is because I mean
Speaker 1: I could do fifteen seconds to get my reels up,
Speaker 1: because I mean I make good money on Instagram reels. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do the wheel. I think, Oh, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna block block? Is? I think the block is
Speaker 1: designed for lunch Box. I would never want to block
Speaker 1: someone else from winning this award. What if we were
Speaker 1: a three month block, that'd be amazing and I can
Speaker 1: block lunchbox. It's not this month. Okay, we're gonna spin
Speaker 1: the wheel? Ready at it? Yeah? Good, I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: up blocking for one dollars. That's right. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: get a doll I'm gonna get the hundred. There are
Speaker 1: one dollars on here, there are five dollars, there's fifty, twenty, ten,
Speaker 1: one hundred. All these numbers are on here. There's also
Speaker 1: spinning in times three. That's the one I want bones.
Speaker 1: Are you ready? Yeah, let's spin come on three times,
Speaker 1: three times, maybe three times dollars. Oh my gosh, it's
Speaker 1: a lot. It's so hard to bring out the bar
Speaker 1: for one dollar. It was right next to the fifty block.
Speaker 1: Is there another wrinkle? There are no more. That's it,
Speaker 1: you know what. That's all right, that's okay. A dollar
Speaker 1: makes you hollow? No, no, no, that doesn't work now
Speaker 1: there he is our employee in my Daddy Nights job. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two,
Speaker 1: our phone screener. Abby originally moved to Nashville to pursue
Speaker 1: a music career, but you know, life happened and she
Speaker 1: joined us on the show and was doing some other careers.
Speaker 1: But everything was reignited when she performed at Bobby Fest
Speaker 1: in Kansas, her home town. And I'm just telling you,
Speaker 1: she has really cool things happening for her right now.
Speaker 1: She did a recorded version of the National Anthem that
Speaker 1: so many of our stations have been playing. Not only that,
Speaker 1: she's on Vacation Part two with Eric Dodd and Ray Mundo,
Speaker 1: which has been really fun for them. And now she
Speaker 1: has her first gig on Broadway in Nashville, which, if
Speaker 1: you're familiar with music aka Nashville, Tennessee, you'll know that
Speaker 1: Broadway is a huge spot for artists to play music
Speaker 1: and it typically is where just about every artist in
Speaker 1: town has gotten their start, at least as far as
Speaker 1: playing and getting their music out there and seeing what
Speaker 1: it's like to perform in front of crowds. So this
Speaker 1: is a pretty big deal. She broke it all down
Speaker 1: and we're all super excited for her. Besides, you know,
Speaker 1: the typical one person on our show number three, a
Speaker 1: little background on Abby our phone screener, or she came
Speaker 1: to Nashville with a guitar in a case in her voice,
Speaker 1: ready to take on the world. Didn't quite work out,
Speaker 1: not yet anyway, right Abby. Yeah, but you try your
Speaker 1: audition for American Eye. You did all this stuff. But
Speaker 1: she's hung in there and we kind of brought her
Speaker 1: back to life because Eddie and I let her come
Speaker 1: out and do some songs with the raging idiots crowds
Speaker 1: A little loved it, and Abby's I gu's the greatest feeling.
Speaker 1: I'm missing You missed it so much? Right I did? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that ignited my passion again. And I even see you
Speaker 1: singing on your Instagram sometimes. And so you're back in
Speaker 1: full steam ahead. I'm ready. You're ready, but you're also
Speaker 1: going like you're trying. Yep, um ray as vacation part two?
Speaker 1: Were there? It? God and Abbey and so here we go?
Speaker 1: It's it? Is it the start of a second career?
Speaker 1: We don't know, but I do know. You posted on Instagram.
Speaker 1: Did you see Richard Marx repost you? I saw that.
Speaker 1: I cannot believe that. So here is a clip of
Speaker 1: a Richard Marks song Wherever you go, whatever you do.
Speaker 1: So Abby was singing this on her Instagram and Richard
Speaker 1: Marx reposted it and said, ah, yes, a good one,
Speaker 1: the real Richard real, same thing, Eddie. I like what
Speaker 1: it wasn't Richard Mark, it was the real Abbey. When
Speaker 1: you saw it, did you go? Is that even real?
Speaker 1: I did? Uh huh? And so when he posts that
Speaker 1: and says this is it? What do you think is
Speaker 1: that a compliment to you? Yeah? I think it's a
Speaker 1: compliment because I don't I feel like he wasn't like
Speaker 1: reposting that much stuff. So I'm like, okay, he saw it.
Speaker 1: Do you message him and go, hey man, big face
Speaker 1: you to go out on tour with you? Anything like that.
Speaker 1: I did not yet. I'm still waiting and thinking of
Speaker 1: what to say. Okay, so you're gonna say something. I
Speaker 1: want to say something. Do you felt like that was
Speaker 1: a good song, like in your range? Yeah? You want
Speaker 1: me to play your clip or not? Yeah? Okay? Here
Speaker 1: is Abby our phone screener on Instagram story, and this
Speaker 1: is a clip that Richard Marks we posted. Yeah here
Speaker 1: you so it deserts the pain. If I see you
Speaker 1: next soon ever, how can we say forever wherever you good,
Speaker 1: whatever you do, ill be well you some good moments
Speaker 1: in that, for sure. Some good moments were here. Okay,
Speaker 1: what do you mean when we turned it down? There
Speaker 1: were there were some really solid moments in that, but
Speaker 1: there were some rough pats. There were some parts that
Speaker 1: I would go that you could work on. But it's
Speaker 1: like she can sing, like you can hear her that
Speaker 1: she can sing. So I thought that was really cool.
Speaker 1: The Richard Marks posted that, and he's huge in the eighties,
Speaker 1: and who knows, maybe just reach out and say hello,
Speaker 1: you're a big fan. And that's kind of him. And
Speaker 1: if he ever wanted to come on the show, we'd
Speaker 1: talk to him. Okay, you can, you can say that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll do that. Okay, so do that and keep singing, Abby.
Speaker 1: They'll always be haters. You just keep keep singing. There
Speaker 1: will our listeners haters to it. Are they pretty kind?
Speaker 1: They're pretty nice? I mean some are like, oh, I
Speaker 1: agree with Lunchbox. She's terrible. I have to turn it
Speaker 1: off when she starts singing. So do you think people
Speaker 1: turn the show off just now? Yes? I hope not.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think so. I didn't think it was that bad. No,
Speaker 1: I think there were some pure, pure parts of that
Speaker 1: when you're singing it there, there are a couple parts
Speaker 1: of a lot, but you're just singing at home. It's
Speaker 1: not like you're on a stage. Yeah, great, keep on, Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. Don't kill the dream, okay, I won't. Um.
Speaker 1: Abby has a gig this weekend where exactly where on Broadway? What? Okay,
Speaker 1: by the way, for listeners that aren't in Nashville. That's
Speaker 1: not Broadway. Yeah, that's the crazy straight here in Nashville
Speaker 1: where all the bars are. When you move to town,
Speaker 1: you kind of sing there and your tourists you come there. Yes,
Speaker 1: what do you got to do? So it's at Alan
Speaker 1: Jackson's Bar. It's actually on Sunday from one to five.
Speaker 1: So one a long time. That's a long time. So
Speaker 1: are you doing like Maine or background or so? It
Speaker 1: is the guy lead singer with his guitar and then me,
Speaker 1: so we kind of switch off. We'll do duets. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's it's the band you joined. Yes, finishes him and I. No,
Speaker 1: it's just him and I. Um, I'll probably get canceled again.
Speaker 1: I'm really hoping that just a two person deal for
Speaker 1: four hours. Yes, request, I'm writing this down. I'll be there.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna go? Heck, I'm gonna go. He's gonna
Speaker 1: heckle her. Don't heckle her. Don't mess with the singing.
Speaker 1: Why would I have? I'm gonn all request? Can you
Speaker 1: know just support? You don't want him to go? No,
Speaker 1: he should not go? What about lunch? She doesn't want
Speaker 1: you to go? That's what it's a public place. Guys,
Speaker 1: I want to go see her. Hey, if you're a singer,
Speaker 1: you want to perform, you want an audience, right, and
Speaker 1: I can tell the bar I am here only because
Speaker 1: she is here. That gives you cred in the industry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you just want to go to mess with me
Speaker 1: to do crazier. Okay, this is what I would ask.
Speaker 1: If you want to go awesome, go and record some
Speaker 1: of the greatest audio you've ever recorded. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna trying to do that. However, I don't want you
Speaker 1: messing with her at all requesting funny story. There's no
Speaker 1: bit about what you can do to or with her.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask for fanny pack. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: just go and support and if you want to record
Speaker 1: or singing, great, you got to review great, but don't
Speaker 1: mess with her. This is our first time. Do you
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. I'll interview people. Hey, what
Speaker 1: do you think of that girl's singer up there? But
Speaker 1: we don't feel like you're going to give us the
Speaker 1: clips that disagree with you. Listen, I will send them
Speaker 1: whatever you want, I will do. I will interview five people.
Speaker 1: Let's not make av feel where of our first time.
Speaker 1: I don't like that. Yeah, I agree. Let's stay away.
Speaker 1: Let's stay away, stay away, let's stay away. If you
Speaker 1: want a record deal. You can't decide when people come
Speaker 1: watch understand, come and watch it. You can't be like,
Speaker 1: oh no, no, don't come this time. I'm too nervous.
Speaker 1: You're not You're a heckler. I'm not just a screw
Speaker 1: with her. Yeah, I am going to exact in no way.
Speaker 1: I am going to give her a chance to prove
Speaker 1: her so she already can sing. I don't need to
Speaker 1: the show if we want her to. Yeah. Okay, here's
Speaker 1: here's my final judgment. Okay, so I will be there.
Speaker 1: Please don't let him go. Well, I can't stop him, right,
Speaker 1: it's a public but if you can, here's what's gonna
Speaker 1: happen if you go to her first show. Yeah, it

Speaker 1: us a reward or like, hey didn't make them go.
Speaker 1: We inspired them. It's said in the news story. I
Speaker 1: was listening to the Bobby Bone show. Who's the one
Speaker 1: that talks about the lottery. Let him inspire me. I
Speaker 1: don't give him in my paycheck. It's free facts. You
Speaker 1: did not go buy a lottery ticket because David Letterman
Speaker 1: told you. Okay, well, Lunchbox, I'm sorry that this news
Speaker 1: dampers your morning. I think it's pretty cool and I'd
Speaker 1: love to talk to them if we can get them.
Speaker 1: That is crazy, Lunchbox. It should be a story of
Speaker 1: hope like this too could happen to you. And it's
Speaker 1: scratch offs for me, I feel like that's where our
Speaker 1: winning is. And scratch offs, well, we don't keep we
Speaker 1: don't do that. I don't play those. We keep buying those.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Morgan, thank you. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: love to start the show off with a positive story
Speaker 1: and a big shout out to Cheryl and Brian Bosson
Speaker 1: of Colorado Springs, Colorado. In the stories from Lottery dot
Speaker 1: NH dot gov. That's what I'm talking about it's the
Speaker 1: best Bits of the week with Morgan number two and
Speaker 1: then of course at the number one spot this week,
Speaker 1: we've got Cody Johnson. He came on the show, performed,
Speaker 1: talked about the early days of his career, a emergency
Speaker 1: next surgery he had to have done. It was just
Speaker 1: an all around awesome interview, awesome performance. Sure you listen
Speaker 1: to the interview right now. Check out the performance on
Speaker 1: Bobby Bones dot com. Because he's been a favorite of
Speaker 1: mine for a long time, but now having him in
Speaker 1: the studio, this is definitely a favorite interview too. So
Speaker 1: check it out if you missed it, if you already
Speaker 1: heard it, listen again. It's great number one on the
Speaker 1: Bobby Bones Show. Now Cody Johnson. Oh, Cody, after you
Speaker 1: had played our iHeart Country Festival, always searching for you,
Speaker 1: I don't searching for anybody, and I was like, I
Speaker 1: gotta go find Cody because I never met you before.
Speaker 1: And I was like, where's Cody's tearing it up back there?
Speaker 1: And they were like he had a family thing, and
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I respect that and I'll
Speaker 1: see him some other time. I got out of there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but man, you just do such a great live show.
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, sang and I already really liked your songs.
Speaker 1: I remember sharing your songs here on this show a
Speaker 1: few years, few years back. But you were so good
Speaker 1: live that I left going okay, good, you know I
Speaker 1: was right. But then like Scooba, Steve, our producer who
Speaker 1: didn't really grow up on country music, he's in love
Speaker 1: with you and he's got the biggest guy crush ever.
Speaker 1: You're on too far Yeah, I know, throw him under
Speaker 1: the bus on the air. Well, he's already done that
Speaker 1: to himself. We leave and he's just playing all Cody
Speaker 1: Johnson all the time. But so first, just your your
Speaker 1: live shows are so great. I imagine that that is
Speaker 1: so important to you as a performer, and you know,
Speaker 1: coming up the way you've come up, it's it's the
Speaker 1: only leads you had to stand on when you came
Speaker 1: from where I came from, um, you know, growing up
Speaker 1: playing in Texas and you I came to Nashville and
Speaker 1: I tried the whole thing and it was very much uh, well,
Speaker 1: you got to take your hat off and we're not
Speaker 1: singing about country cowboys stuff. I mean at the time,
Speaker 1: it was all very very platformed as far as for
Speaker 1: world drive trucks and cut off shorts, and it was
Speaker 1: very like it was a thing, and if you didn't
Speaker 1: fit into that mold, you didn't you didn't get the spotlight,
Speaker 1: which I was fine with. So when you go back
Speaker 1: home with that and you're you just kind of appreciate
Speaker 1: the skin you're in kind of thing. Uh, your live
Speaker 1: shows all you have and those fans that you create
Speaker 1: on the independent level, they don't really care about what
Speaker 1: radio station you're played on or what let record label
Speaker 1: you're with. And when you can build that, that's what
Speaker 1: got us to the point where we were able to
Speaker 1: merge with Warner Nashville, and I was able to make
Speaker 1: a partnership and get a deal that where I still
Speaker 1: got to maintain my independent spirit. And now we're reaching
Speaker 1: fans that only care if you're played on the radio
Speaker 1: or you have a label deal. So there to merge
Speaker 1: those two kinds of fans together, your live show has
Speaker 1: to be on point every day, every night. You have
Speaker 1: to pretend it's the last show you're ever going to play,
Speaker 1: that this is the show that's gonna make or break
Speaker 1: you with these fans. And so when you see me
Speaker 1: on stage, it's it's not rehearsed, it's not fake, it's
Speaker 1: it's authentic. You know, often poke fun at artists who
Speaker 1: will wear cowboy hats but not be a real cowboy.
Speaker 1: You know, that's just like kind of a it's like
Speaker 1: carrot top and a prop. And so however, I often say,
Speaker 1: like a Randy Howser was in and he was a
Speaker 1: real cowboy growing up. And John Party is a friend
Speaker 1: of mine. He was a real cowboy. He can go
Speaker 1: out now and wrote and he could do all that
Speaker 1: with you. You're a real cowboy. So for someone to
Speaker 1: be like, you know, we don't do the cowboy, but
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm a real freaking cowboy. What do you
Speaker 1: mean the cowboy stuff? Like this is real life stuff.
Speaker 1: I wasn't very nice for my manager. I wish I
Speaker 1: wish happy y'all could have been in the room. It
Speaker 1: was I'm not even gonna mention the label. But they said, uh,
Speaker 1: well we when we love your stuff, we love you,
Speaker 1: But I mean, would you be willing to take the
Speaker 1: hat off? And I was like, and I literally said, oh,
Speaker 1: you thought I bought this to come see you? And
Speaker 1: he kind of and my managers are pretty large guy,
Speaker 1: he just kind of shrunk down his chair. I shouldn't
Speaker 1: have said that, I still said it. Do you you
Speaker 1: know I have like a couple of nagging injuries, and
Speaker 1: it's stupid. It's from like high school football or like
Speaker 1: a I mean, I maybe to say this in front
Speaker 1: of you because your real life cowboy. I did a
Speaker 1: dance competition once and I hurt myself from when you
Speaker 1: were riding bull Do you have any injuries that still
Speaker 1: linger where it's like, oh, my back of my leg.
Speaker 1: It's funny you say that. I actually just had neck
Speaker 1: surgery in December. It was I had been in pain
Speaker 1: since twenty seventeen and it just kept getting worse, kept
Speaker 1: getting worse, and I was numbness and burning, and my
Speaker 1: whole right arm was just felt like it was falling off.
Speaker 1: And so we went into an MRI and they put
Speaker 1: me an emergency surgery. They pulled out my C six
Speaker 1: and my C seven, so they did an emergency surgery.
Speaker 1: You went in for an MRI because of pain for
Speaker 1: a long time. I could have been hurting. So you're like, well,
Speaker 1: I gotta get this done. I guess I'll go now.
Speaker 1: You're just you know, you put it off. It sounds
Speaker 1: like yeah, and then they go, we gotta go now,
Speaker 1: he said, he said, we need to be in surgery
Speaker 1: within the next hour. He said, because so this particular
Speaker 1: surgeon was retiring and he's like, man, you gotta get
Speaker 1: this done, like you gotta get this done. And I said, well,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll wait, and he said, there's a chance you
Speaker 1: could lose the functionality of your right arm completely. So
Speaker 1: there was bones, spurs that were shaved off, of shaved
Speaker 1: off of the vertebrae, completely ruptured disc, and they found
Speaker 1: thirteen bone fragments on the nerve, which means at some
Speaker 1: point I fractured my neck. And it was just I mean,
Speaker 1: he's like, when you would know when you did this?
Speaker 1: So I'm like, no, I do a lot of stupid stuff,
Speaker 1: So I really, I really don't know. I can't tell
Speaker 1: you one particular time. That's crazy that they go, we
Speaker 1: gotta go now after you had just kind of let it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it too. You're hurt. You're like,
Speaker 1: I can't go the doctor anytime, but they're like, no,
Speaker 1: we gotta go right now. And then when they're digging
Speaker 1: down your spinal cord too. That's that's real deal stuff.
Speaker 1: It was a five and a half hour long surgery.
Speaker 1: You know, do you are you nervous going to listen?
Speaker 1: I had a colon oscary and I was nervous. I
Speaker 1: was like, I may die. But you're going in and
Speaker 1: they're doating on like real parts of your body, are
Speaker 1: you like, oh, man, I may not wake up. I
Speaker 1: was extremely nervous, you know, but whatever's gonna happen is
Speaker 1: gonna happen. And I was in so much pain at
Speaker 1: that time, I didn't care. I'm like, I'm not a
Speaker 1: pain pill guy at all. Like I don't even take
Speaker 1: a tie at all. And I was like, give me drugs,
Speaker 1: help me not to hurt right now. And so I was.
Speaker 1: I was thankful. They're like, well, we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: cut here and cut there. I don't care, just getting
Speaker 1: rid of it. Just I'd had enough. Do you think
Speaker 1: it's from falling, like being tossed off of bulls or
Speaker 1: just the general wear and tear of all of it,
Speaker 1: because you're you're constantly getting tossed around and on my
Speaker 1: neck and on my head um more than a few
Speaker 1: times some bulls, horses and stuff like that. But I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've not been very nice to my body. I don't
Speaker 1: want to brag about done quite amount of mutton busting.
Speaker 1: Brad Cody, I seven year old actually just want a
Speaker 1: mutton busting myself. Yeah, I was like seven year old.
Speaker 1: I was like fifteen. How's like fifteen sixteen or so?
Speaker 1: Do you watch Rodeo now? Or are you mostly like
Speaker 1: some of my friends that played ball, They're like, you know,
Speaker 1: I've seen it. I'm good. I don't need to watch
Speaker 1: it right now because it was it was pretty traumatic
Speaker 1: for me. No, I so for a long time. I
Speaker 1: didn't a long time. And if you anybody's I don't
Speaker 1: know if you have or you have it, but my
Speaker 1: documentary Dear Rodeo kind of tells that story. I was
Speaker 1: bitter for a long time because I wasn't good enough
Speaker 1: to make it, and so I didn't watch it, and
Speaker 1: I was pretty immature about the whole thing. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm in a different place in my life now.
Speaker 1: I'm thirty five. I'm gonna at the point when my
Speaker 1: music careers doing wonderful. I've got a beautiful wife that's
Speaker 1: my best friend, and beautiful kids and cattle ranch back
Speaker 1: in Texas, and that's what we do every day is
Speaker 1: we rope and train horses and work cows, and so
Speaker 1: it's like it's funny. I thought that bull riding was
Speaker 1: like that was I was really mad that I didn't
Speaker 1: get to achieve that goal when in all reality, like
Speaker 1: I'm so much more involved in rodeo and so much
Speaker 1: more involved in the cowboy way of life now than
Speaker 1: I ever would have been trying to ride bulls. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we followed it. Now We've got a lot of friends
Speaker 1: that are in professional rodeo, and so it's fun to
Speaker 1: watch them compete and succeed. And you know, I'm pretty
Speaker 1: handy with a rope, but I don't have time those guys.
Speaker 1: They have to chase that career like I chased this career.
Speaker 1: It is every day, every night, day in, day out, grind,
Speaker 1: and so it's there's a lot. Then they're not getting paid.
Speaker 1: They're not like professional athletes that get paid whenever they
Speaker 1: sit on the dal. Like you can hurt yourself in
Speaker 1: baseball and sit on the bench and still get paid.
Speaker 1: Non rodeo, if you're hurt, you're out. And so that's
Speaker 1: why you see guys keep and girls keep going even
Speaker 1: when they're hurt. It's pretty. It's pretty intense. Man. Cody
Speaker 1: Johnson's here, we're talking about the Rodeo. I mean, would
Speaker 1: you play dear rodeo for us? Now? Absolutely cool? Hey
Speaker 1: introduced this to here? Your your player here. This is
Speaker 1: my fiddle player, Jody Bartola. He's my band leader. He's
Speaker 1: been with me for twelve years. So twelve Jody, twelve years. Well,
Speaker 1: what's what's Cody like? It's a boss fantastic. I would
Speaker 1: have been good answer. I'm sorry I have been to
Speaker 1: cut you off. It's been funny. What were I wouldn't
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been here for twelve years if he wasn't. Well,
Speaker 1: let's hear a little dear Rodeo from Cody Johnson Rodeo.
Speaker 1: I've been honey, if I tried to two you, I
Speaker 1: don't think about you after you roll the mouths and
Speaker 1: wow nights had we been through? Lord knows we had
Speaker 1: a few. I would like to see it onto the
Speaker 1: reins away, no regrets, no left on says, just turn
Speaker 1: the page. But you know better, babe, Twining almos hat
Speaker 1: on zeeling, broken bombs, the dream of a buckle I'd
Speaker 1: never put on. I'm jaded. Why I hate it? Somehow
Speaker 1: the lines out way the loose and I do it
Speaker 1: all again, even though we both know I still have
Speaker 1: to let you go due do you? On Cody Johnson
Speaker 1: and Studio Awesome? We were watching your Cody play again
Speaker 1: at our our country festival. You came out and you
Speaker 1: played Human and you did that that song live, and
Speaker 1: you talked about how maybe it was going to come
Speaker 1: out or did you just come out. I think it's
Speaker 1: such a powerful song and I'd like to play that
Speaker 1: now if you're cool with that on the radio? Is
Speaker 1: that cool? Cody? Good with that? Oh? You want to
Speaker 1: play Human on the right? I thought you meant right now?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, spin it. I'm gonna spin it. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna play right now. You call it that? All right?
Speaker 1: So why let me ask you before I played here?
Speaker 1: Why would you decide to cut this song? What do
Speaker 1: it mean to you? It's real? Um? Following up till
Speaker 1: you can't be in our first number one? UM. It
Speaker 1: had a great message, and I think I've lived Human
Speaker 1: and I think it's something we all have in common.
Speaker 1: No matter where you you stand on any issue, we're
Speaker 1: all doing the same thing. We're all doing through the
Speaker 1: same life, trying to figure it out, and I think
Speaker 1: that that's kind of my mark is I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: out stuff that I can stand behind and say I
Speaker 1: live that it's all. Then it's the best bits of
Speaker 1: the week with Morgan. Number two. I'm either gonna hit
Speaker 1: this note, I'm gonna drop it down a key. What
Speaker 1: are you talking to me? I'll hit it for you
Speaker 1: at this point. Hey, so you gotta chese take it?
Speaker 1: Take it while you got a cheese. You gotta dream chasing?
Speaker 1: Are you talking about that? Sounds perfect? I've never ever
Speaker 1: heard it better my life. Maybe should do your shows
Speaker 1: in the morning. Everything about that. You gotta cheese take it?
Speaker 1: We practice that so you don't want to go as
Speaker 1: high because it's early. Yeah, I'm telling you now. But
Speaker 1: then it sounds weird. I mean weird is not a
Speaker 1: way I would describe either one of those. They were awesome,
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's up there, man, let's just can you
Speaker 1: play it? Drop down absolutely, but don't get into it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hold on, weld on unless you want to practice it again. No,
Speaker 1: we're good, all right, Thank for me. I just that
Speaker 1: is one of those things that I knew when I
Speaker 1: recorded it. You'd have to sing it every night once
Speaker 1: you recorded it, or do it right or it'll hurt you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't that's That's that's why I love Kate Bos. Don't
Speaker 1: blow it out. Don't blow it out, all right. Cody
Speaker 1: Johnson's here, Uh, Cody watching you perform live? And I
Speaker 1: remember watching not just listening to your vocal, but watching
Speaker 1: you and it looked to me like definitely country music,
Speaker 1: but definitely a little gospel as well, because I grew
Speaker 1: up in a Baptist church, and right or wrong, I
Speaker 1: feel like I could see a little bit of that
Speaker 1: in your performance. Was church when you were growing up
Speaker 1: a part of your like a musical in the early years. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: It's where I learned the basis of most everything I know. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I learned drums because we needed a drummer,
Speaker 1: and so I learned how to play the people and
Speaker 1: you know, like the church, and so they were like,
Speaker 1: we don't have a drummer, and so my dad knew drums,
Speaker 1: and dad just taught me rhythm. And my dad played
Speaker 1: the piano and so he was like Floyd Kramer good,
Speaker 1: and Uh, I wanted to learn guitar, and he taught
Speaker 1: me gc indeed, it's the only things he knew on
Speaker 1: guitar really, And so I would come home from school
Speaker 1: and I would tape, like while I was at school,
Speaker 1: I would take my cassette tapes and I would record
Speaker 1: a channel. I would record, like the country channel or
Speaker 1: the R and B channel or the rock channel or whatever.
Speaker 1: And when I get home, I would play the song
Speaker 1: and i'd pause it and i'd try to play it
Speaker 1: and i'd play it back and I'd do it until
Speaker 1: my fingers bled. But I didn't get to play guitar.
Speaker 1: And in the church it was just drums, and they
Speaker 1: didn't let me playing drums very much. I played like
Speaker 1: I wanted to play, like Zeppelin and church like you've
Speaker 1: never heard all Flyaway Old Glory like I played it,
Speaker 1: And so that didn't last very long. So you're playing drums,
Speaker 1: are you singing it all in church? Oh? Yeah? That
Speaker 1: was so that was My parents grew up singing like
Speaker 1: like quartet gospel types like Gaither vocal band type stuff,
Speaker 1: the Kingsman, And so I had to learn harmony first.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't let me sing lead. It was you can
Speaker 1: learn these harmony parts since, but it was. It kind
Speaker 1: of gave me what I call an ear education, because
Speaker 1: I don't know how to read music. I don't know
Speaker 1: how to read a guitar tab like I can't even
Speaker 1: do the number system in the studio with the studio guys.
Speaker 1: But it's all from what I hear. And that's really
Speaker 1: a blessing and a curse because I can hear things
Speaker 1: that most people can't. But then it's hard. I can't
Speaker 1: explain it. So if your dad was such a good musician,
Speaker 1: did he have aspirations of making it big back in
Speaker 1: the day. No, I'm like, I grew up in a
Speaker 1: really small town and a small town people, and I
Speaker 1: think I might have been like the only guy that
Speaker 1: just said I'm going somewhere and I didn't know how,
Speaker 1: I didn't know what. But yeah, I'm kind of an anomaly.
Speaker 1: Blog me through. If you're at a piano with your
Speaker 1: mom or your dad and they're teaching you how to
Speaker 1: sing harmonies. Are they playing and you're singing the harmony
Speaker 1: of the notes on the piano or are you their voice?
Speaker 1: Like what are you chasing? It was the vote their voices.
Speaker 1: So this is the lead part, This is the low
Speaker 1: this is the high, you know, this is the what
Speaker 1: is it, the third up or the fifth? I can't
Speaker 1: even tell you, but when you hear those different things,
Speaker 1: and then we would learn to switch. When mom sang lead,
Speaker 1: you know, dad would be down here and I would
Speaker 1: be up here. And when Dad sing lead, I would
Speaker 1: be up here. Mom would be down here. And eventually
Speaker 1: I got to sing lead. And then I was like,
Speaker 1: I will start playing my guitar. And I went to
Speaker 1: school and I played my guitar and girls liked it,
Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, there's something to this. And
Speaker 1: then I graduated and started playing bars and I got
Speaker 1: paid one time, and I was like, okay, there's something
Speaker 1: to this. And that's kind of where it started snowballing.
Speaker 1: So you're playing music, but you're also rodeoing two careers
Speaker 1: where there's not a lot of long term promise. Well,
Speaker 1: and you know, I've always said this, like, if I
Speaker 1: would have grown up in West Virginia, I'd have probably
Speaker 1: been a coal miner, because when you grow up in
Speaker 1: a little small town, you'd grow up and you do
Speaker 1: what dad did. And so that's what I did. My
Speaker 1: dad worked for thirty three years at the prison system,
Speaker 1: in Texas. So whenever I turned eighteen, that's what I did,
Speaker 1: and I went to work for the prison system. So
Speaker 1: that was your stability, that was your paycheck work. That's
Speaker 1: about as far as I looked. You know. It's a
Speaker 1: steady paycheck, it's got insurance, and that was kind of
Speaker 1: my ceiling. That's where I kept myself. And I just
Speaker 1: never was happy, you know. And it took certain people
Speaker 1: in my life saying, you're gonna you're gonna be old
Speaker 1: one day and you're gonna regret not having taken this
Speaker 1: chance to go play music, you know. And my warden
Speaker 1: that I was working for at the prison system said,
Speaker 1: there's always going to be people in prison, and there
Speaker 1: will always be room for a job. Here, go try
Speaker 1: because if you don't go try, and you don't take
Speaker 1: this chance, then you're going to regret it. And that's
Speaker 1: what we did. We full force. My wife worked two
Speaker 1: jobs and I went out on the road, and we
Speaker 1: didn't make money for like the first five years. I
Speaker 1: was paying you know, like Jody here, I was giving
Speaker 1: him the hundred dollars and whoever else one hundred dollars
Speaker 1: and one hundred dollars went to the van and so
Speaker 1: I was literally bringing in absolutely no money. It was
Speaker 1: we were just riding on her shoulders. And so I
Speaker 1: wish we had TikTok back then. You know, it's interesting
Speaker 1: because I think sometimes it gets overlooked by certain people,
Speaker 1: but you actually focused on it here and highlighted it.
Speaker 1: Your wife is such a critical part to your success
Speaker 1: and you being right here right now. Absolutely, She's probably
Speaker 1: the only reason I've got my head on straight, you know,
Speaker 1: and people like me. You gotta think about it. Any
Speaker 1: kind of man that would work at voluntarily work at
Speaker 1: a prison, ride bulls and go out on the road
Speaker 1: with absolutely no guarantees of money. I mean, I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit of it. I mean I am what I am.
Speaker 1: Are you an adorenaling guy, I'm absolutely an adrenaling guy.
Speaker 1: You like to go fast and get be up, swinging
Speaker 1: highs all that stuff. Yeah, you know, that's the thing
Speaker 1: is it makes me realize, hey, stupid, stay down here
Speaker 1: on earth with the rest of us, and and uh
Speaker 1: it's a great reminder. But that's what you know. She
Speaker 1: did so much for me. It's like I told her,
Speaker 1: you know, one of these days, you're not gonna work.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna want for anything, and I'm gonna make it.
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the drive behind what I've done.
Speaker 1: Cody Johnson is here. If you don't mind, I know
Speaker 1: you got you still have your instruments on. Would you
Speaker 1: play till you can't for us? Absolutely all right? Here
Speaker 1: we go live on the show this morning. It's Cody Johnson.
Speaker 1: You can tell you, old man, you do some large
Speaker 1: mouth fishing. Another time just got too much on you
Speaker 1: played Pat and castle Line. You can alway spring check
Speaker 1: in his hand to your kings. You can keep putting
Speaker 1: off forever with that girl who's hearts you, swearing that
Speaker 1: you last Sunday further down, always proto diming on her
Speaker 1: him to your kings. If you got a chance, take it,
Speaker 1: take it. I ain't got a chance. If you got
Speaker 1: a dream, chase it. Just a dream won't chase you back.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna love somebody, hold on his own and
Speaker 1: as strong and as clothes as you can until you
Speaker 1: can't chip can't a chance, take it? Take it. I
Speaker 1: got a chance. If you got a dream, chase it.
Speaker 1: Choose a dream won't chase you back. You're on somebody,
Speaker 1: hold them a long and as strong and as close
Speaker 1: as you can't until you can't guntil you can't ship.
Speaker 1: Come on, Cody, here the most pure rush yell I've
Speaker 1: ever heard, right on key, I mean perfect, it's a
Speaker 1: controlled screen. It shook me inside my guts. Okay, I
Speaker 1: got a couple of things I want to say here.
Speaker 1: First of all, you guys check out Human the double album,
Speaker 1: and we played the song earlier and I was looking
Speaker 1: at stuff to promote and I still will. But everything
Speaker 1: sold out. Basically, Cody, it's a good problem to have.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm like, all right, what can I tell people?
Speaker 1: So this is what I say, Cody Johnson and friends.
Speaker 1: So to go to Cody Johnson music dot com because
Speaker 1: it's you know, different nights Easton Corbyn, Drew Parker, Randy
Speaker 1: Hows or I could go through. But there are some
Speaker 1: shows where you can get a couple of tickets. But
Speaker 1: holy maybe everything's selling out. That's a great problem. We'll
Speaker 1: be in bigger venues next year. Okay. I'd like to
Speaker 1: hear that. I will ask you about this because I
Speaker 1: saw you talking about you were just kind of teasing
Speaker 1: that the three albums, three projects you're working on, right
Speaker 1: It just yeah, So we just got through recording a
Speaker 1: live album, which is something that we've always wanted to do.
Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned at the very beginning of the
Speaker 1: show how important the live show is. We've never been
Speaker 1: able to capture the energy. And right now we're in
Speaker 1: a spot where we're playing big arenas and big amphitheaters
Speaker 1: and we're getting ready to make that next move into
Speaker 1: much larger venues and that's a whole different animal. But
Speaker 1: before we made that, while I say, before we graduate
Speaker 1: to that next step, we really wanted to capture what
Speaker 1: we are as a band. You know, Jody's not only that,
Speaker 1: he's been with me for twelve years. Bass players been
Speaker 1: with eleven. Drummer's been with us for ten, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. We've we're tight. We're a very tight
Speaker 1: knit group. We all wear the brand proudly, one of
Speaker 1: our tattoos together, you know, for the rock and CJB.
Speaker 1: And we wanted to capture that before we start adding
Speaker 1: anything to the show, before we add another player, before
Speaker 1: we so we recorded five shows and we wound up
Speaker 1: with what we feel like as the best representation of
Speaker 1: what we do live. No tracks, bare bones, no gimmicks,
Speaker 1: It's just a band on stage. And I'm one of
Speaker 1: those people like I complain on my plates full, but
Speaker 1: then as soon as something gets off my plate, I
Speaker 1: filled the plate back up again, like I'm a glutton
Speaker 1: for punishment or I like pain or something. So we're
Speaker 1: I'm in the process of I'm fixing to go record
Speaker 1: a new studio album i'd like to have out next year.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so we've got a lot. We've got quite
Speaker 1: a bit going on right now. It sounds like you
Speaker 1: happened something else too, you're not telling us, and that's okay.
Speaker 1: I respect that. I respect that. Cody Johnson, dude, just
Speaker 1: just great. I'm just honored that you would play. I mean,
