1 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: Helloska, we are back. Welcome back, Hope you had a 2 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: good weekend. Martin Studio morning. If so much to catch 3 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: you up on from the weekend. But Brett Eldridge is 4 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: already in the green room. He's coming in in the 5 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: next ten minutes. We love when Brett stops by. Someone 6 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: on the show wants to ask him an awkward question. 7 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: We'll get to that. But since Brett is here early, 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: let's go ahead and get started with the mail bag 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: right now. You get something we call Bobby here. Hello, 10 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: Bobby Bones. I've been with my fiance for over three years. 11 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: Both he and I have fourteen year old daughters. His 12 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: daughter has been posting a lot of bikini pictures on Instagram. 13 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: I am extremely uncomfortable with this, and I think she 14 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: should remove these pictures from her account. Her mother, my 15 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: fiance's ex wife, and himself find it to be perfectly 16 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: acceptable and have no intention of having her removed pictures. 17 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: I think this is not only an appropriate but also 18 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: a safety issue. This is starting to negatively impact our relationship. 19 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: We are in the middle of building a house together 20 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: and the wedding is next month, but has become such 21 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: a contentious issue between us that we are considering calling 22 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: everything off my fiance is starting to make me question myself. 23 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: Am I crazy to feel this way? Signed future step mom, 24 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: You're not crazy to feel that way. But as we've 25 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: often said, not your chili, not your beans. Yeah, that's 26 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: really not what we don't stir your No, if it's 27 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: not your chili, no need to stir it. Yeah, we 28 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: don't want to have that down. But it's she has 29 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: a mom, I mean, because it's not her kid, right, 30 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: it's not your side of the street. Yeah, your sidewalk. 31 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: Get off of that. That doesn't work well. Listen, Mike, 32 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: the was always tries to tell me to focus on 33 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: my side of the street. So that's where like her 34 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: side of the street would be her fourteen year old daughter. 35 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: And yes, she's marrying into this, but there already is 36 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: a mom and a dad that's handling that and they're 37 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: both okay with it. And so if she just focus 38 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: on her side of the street, then she can kind 39 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: of let go of that. She doesn't need to carry 40 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: around this burden, not her responsibility. And yeah, I'm with her, 41 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 1: Like it would make me uncomfortable and I'd be worried 42 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: about safety, and I wouldn't like it crazy to feel 43 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: that way. You're not crazy to feel that way. But 44 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: it's also you need to remind yourself you're side of 45 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: the street, and then you let go of those thoughts 46 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: and then they'll no longer dominate your day. And I mean, 47 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: at this point it's potentially ruining your relationships. So then 48 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: I would take a look at like all the other things, 49 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: like is this some you know, you don't want it 50 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: to be ruined over this, And if you go in 51 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: your mind that's want to stomp out a few arguments 52 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: that she could have. Well, this is my stepdaughter now 53 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: and she's in our house a lot. Okay, look, that 54 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: is accurate. But if you were to go, okay, if 55 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: i'm her stepmom, this is the percentage of time she's 56 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: with me and I'm but that's her real mom. She 57 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: actually has more shares in the business than you do. Yeah, 58 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: her mom that's still in her life. So she gets 59 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: to she's controlling. Only put me in the chili if 60 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: you got enough mix. Okay, Okay, I don't work either. 61 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: You know. You want a positive spin of this is 62 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: that she's going through this now before they actually get married, 63 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: so she can actually figure all this out before they 64 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: tie the knot. But you're not gonna read you're gonna 65 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: not get married because there you go. Good. I was thinking, like, 66 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: you're not. You're gonna not get married because of this. 67 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: If they don't get married because of this, this is 68 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: on her. Well yeah, and I would say the issue 69 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: is bigger than just this, and it's on her. Yeah, 70 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: you cannot agree with it. You can feel like it's 71 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: a really bad decision, you can be so against it, 72 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: but there's a point where you have to decide, am 73 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: I going to let my feelings on this again that 74 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: I don't have a majority ownership majority shares? Am I 75 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: gonna let something to have minority ruin the majority of 76 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: my life? Well? Because they could potentially even though they 77 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: have fourteen year old so I don't know their age 78 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: or what their plans are for more kids, but they 79 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: could potentially have a baby together and then have this 80 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: issue down the line, down the line. And that's a 81 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: whole different conversation. Yeah, it's it's a full that conversation. 82 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: That's her kid, she has majority share. That's their chili. 83 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: They made that together and their own bowl, right, But 84 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: they got from one point. But I don't know. If 85 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: she's playing on that, then it is something to take 86 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: into consideration before you get married. But I don't. I 87 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: don't unless the dad is the one fighting for it. 88 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: It's the mom. You gotta let the mom make the 89 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: decision there. Bail out of this one. Not your fight. 90 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: You don't have to agree with it, but you gotta 91 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: get out of it. Hate to be the one to 92 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: not agree with you, since you do listen to our show. 93 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: But I had some chili. Have a good day, all right, 94 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: that's the mail bag. Close it up, We got your 95 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: that was about to cloth.

You know what's interesting 102 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: about this song is and here's a clip of Brett's 103 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: new song Songs about You. I'm just trying to get 104 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: these songs bad. What I like about this and what 105 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: I like about this kind of song is it's a 106 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: sad song, but it's got a little beat on it. 107 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: So sometimes you're just like grooving and you're like, I 108 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: feel so good, and then you listen you're like, no, 109 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: that was sad, didn't you. It's kind of confusing, but 110 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: in an awesome way. That's some of my favorite kind 111 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 1: of stuff is a little double meanings. You know, when 112 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: you write this and it is a sad song, what's 113 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: the song about? Because you did write it, what's the 114 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: song about? Basically, you're going through life. You think you're 115 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: over somebody, and then years later, or weeks later, months later, whatever, 116 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: you hear the song as you're walking by a bar 117 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: in Chicago or wherever, it takes you right back to 118 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: that person. You're not so much over him as much 119 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: as you thought you were, and you just now and 120 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: you're trying to get through these songs about you. Every 121 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: song is about you that that I hear. So whenever 122 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: you write this, so you have the idea for it, 123 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: do you imagine it as a ballad? A slow song? 124 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: At first? I had the honest I had the groove. 125 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: I had the groove. I'm just trying to get through. 126 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: These songs are bout you. I had that and like 127 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: the feel um beforehand, and then I so I had 128 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: like a feel good thing about it, and then I 129 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: went into Jesse, Joe Dillon and Ben West and we 130 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: kind of dug through how to do it, and it 131 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: just felt like I had to put that angle on. 132 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: It was was the way to go. Do you and 133 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: your phone have just a weird clip of you going 134 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: about it? Oh? Yeah, so you keep those yes?

I'm not even saying words. I'm just trying 163 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: to keep a little melodies. When we write the song. 164 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: Here we go. So that's the verse. That's awesome. So 165 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: that's really cool. Yeah, that's awesome. It's like the first 166 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: thing in the morning, so you can't judge the vocals 167 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: too much.

But yeah, when you get paid on Vinmo, 460 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: it's absolutely okay. You don't have to write that all. 461 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: By the way, I don't know that that's true or false. No, 462 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: you don't have to write that on your taxes.

You're Amy's pile of stories. Well, 680 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: the average parent enjoys just thirty two minutes of free 681 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: time each day. Huh, man, I'm loaded the free time. 682 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: Many parents find themselves being forced to actually hide from 683 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 1: their kids in order to get away and get some 684 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: extra free time. Eddie hides at work. Yeah, that's why 685 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: I brought this up for two hours. You're here at 686 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: three o'clock. There's no possible way an hour that you 687 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: should be here at three pm. I'm working, man, I'm working. 688 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: He might be, but you spent all those hours up 689 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: till three. Yeah, not hiding. Some parents also admit to 690 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: letting kids watch TV or play with the phone so 691 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: that they can avoid parenting, and the free time comes 692 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: about eight thirty pm at night when they experience, you know, 693 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: their kids like going to bed and they get to 694 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: be alone. TB time is not avoiding parenting, and it's 695 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: just time for us to do what we need to 696 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: do while they're distracted. Yeah, I don't hit it. We're 697 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: not avoiding parenting our life. We're parents. It's what we 698 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: do and avoid that. Do you relate to this at all. 699 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 1: Oh I relate to this. Yeah. Like when I was 700 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: thinking back to my free time yesterday, it was like, oh, none, 701 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,439 Speaker 1: and then by the time I did get my son down, 702 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 1: it was my bedtime. If I can't wait to have kids, 703 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 1: you have to make it sense. I'm going, yeah, sorry. 704 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: So would you rather get a selfie with your favorite 705 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: celeb or an autograph? I don't want an autograph unless 706 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,800 Speaker 1: it's somebody from sports and they're signing a piece of 707 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: memorabilia that is associated with them. Otherwise, no need, just 708 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: take a picture. Well, a new poll was taken, and 709 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: you would think that autographs would just be done, but 710 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: twenty percent of us would still want that autograph, forty 711 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: two percent would rather take a selfie, and twenty seven 712 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: percent said they wouldn't ask for either. Well, I'd probably 713 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: in that one. Then I wouldn't ask for it. But 714 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: you only gave me two options. Yeah, this should surprise 715 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: you with a third. Yeah, Dan, I don't know I 716 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,439 Speaker 1: had that choice.

Oh, anyway, that's 739 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,240 Speaker 1: it I Amy, that's my pile. That was Amy's pile 740 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: of stories. It's time for the good news. I want 741 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: to shout out to this guy in Seattle, Randy Miller, 742 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: who is going around giving free haircuts to anyone that 743 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,280 Speaker 1: needs them. Now, it started out when he was homeless. 744 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 1: He would cut other people's hair. He would set up 745 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: a milk crate, put a trash bag over his chest, 746 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 1: kind of like a barber's cape, and he would cut 747 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 1: hair self taught, didn't really know what he's doing, but 748 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: figure it it out, and he did it to be 749 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,720 Speaker 1: a blessing to others, and since then it has turned 750 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: into a mission. He's continued to do it for a 751 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: couple of years. He has day work that he does, 752 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 1: but on his days off he still roams the streets 753 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: cutting people's hair for free. He's upgraded the milk cart 754 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 1: to a folding chair and the trash bag to an 755 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: actual barber cape, and his goal is to eventually go 756 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: to barber school and maybe one day have a mobile 757 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: haircutting van. That's pretty cool he's able to give back 758 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,959 Speaker 1: like that. I also think I've had a few self 759 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: top barbers. Yeah. Well, he runs his business off of 760 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: three principles that people could learn from. Be accountable, build relationships, 761 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: and create an experience. He might have gone to him before. 762 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. I though some pretty bad ones. A 763 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 1: great story, that is what it's all about. That was, 764 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 1: tell me something good.
