Speaker 1: It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan. I
Speaker 1: just the bits.
Speaker 2: What's up everybody, and welcome to Best Bits Part two.
Speaker 2: If you're here, you're trying to get caught up on
Speaker 2: the Bobby Bones Show from this week, and I'm so
Speaker 2: happy that you've made it. If you do want to
Speaker 2: check out some more extra content, we've got part one,
Speaker 2: Part three this weekend with Amy. Part one we did
Speaker 2: a little recap of the crews, our thoughts, feelings, experiences,
Speaker 2: and part three we always answer our listener question, so
Speaker 2: check those out and if you just want to catch
Speaker 2: up on the show, let's get into it. A listener
Speaker 2: wrote into the show asking what is something people assume
Speaker 2: you're great at that you actually struggle with And you're
Speaker 2: gonna hear Bobby, Amy, Eddie Lunchbox all answered. Something that
Speaker 2: came to mind for me that's really funny is I
Speaker 2: feel like people would assume that I'm really good at
Speaker 2: directions or you know, getting to places, but I actually
Speaker 2: have to put everything in my GPS. I am very
Speaker 2: directionally challenged. Even if I've been there multiple times, sometimes
Speaker 2: I still have to put it in there. I go
Speaker 2: off of landmarks more than North South East West, so
Speaker 2: is a huge struggle with me.
Speaker 3: Now you're gonna hear the rest of the shows.
Speaker 1: Number seven it's the anonymous in body, anonymous inbar.
Speaker 4: There the question to be.
Speaker 5: A well man, Hello, Bobby Bones, what is something people
Speaker 5: assume that you're quite comfortable with but you actually struggle with?
Speaker 5: Signed b teamer in Boston. I'm gonna ask you guys
Speaker 5: this question too, So to come back around what is
Speaker 5: something people think I'm comfortable with? So number one is
Speaker 5: probably one. The entertainment industry is a fickle industry, and
Speaker 5: I feel like I've been spending twenty plus years building
Speaker 5: something that is pretty great, but that it could all
Speaker 5: be taken away and then I'm honestly all I've been
Speaker 5: through therapy so much that I'm back and I'm poor again.
Speaker 5: Like that's my number one fear, is that I'm back
Speaker 5: and I'm back to where I started. And that's a
Speaker 5: rational fear, but that's my number one fear, Like survival
Speaker 5: mode always kicks in. It's like, man, there's some rough
Speaker 5: times I'm gonna be back there. So I struggle with that.
Speaker 5: I struggle with turning my brain off. So that's why
Speaker 5: I don't sleep a lot but I also think that
Speaker 5: goes back to that first one too, that I have
Speaker 5: to always keep running because if I don't run, it's
Speaker 5: gonna eventually turn into failures, which turns into no job,
Speaker 5: which turns into being poor again. So me shutting my
Speaker 5: brain off is that one. And then always feeling like
Speaker 5: I need to be productive always, always, if there's any
Speaker 5: time down, there's no time down, I got to figure
Speaker 5: out what to do in that time down in order
Speaker 5: to be productive. So that's probably the stuff that I
Speaker 5: struggle with the most. There's also like the new dad stuff,
Speaker 5: and I'm sure all that's gonna factor in, but that's
Speaker 5: probably what I deal with most internally, even it's so
Speaker 5: subconscious now, but it's still taxing on me.
Speaker 6: Amy you, Yeah, the parenting stuff that gets me for real.
Speaker 6: That'll sometimes like then you realize like nobody has a
Speaker 6: feared out, nobody knows what they're really doing. That just
Speaker 6: that I'm capable and believing in myself, I feel like
Speaker 6: sometimes I'll get a handle on it. But similar to you,
Speaker 6: you have those ones that are so deep rooted that
Speaker 6: you know you've done the work, but it'll still rear
Speaker 6: its ugly head sometimes and you're like, it's like whack
Speaker 6: a mole and you're like cool, get down.
Speaker 5: Oh, get down, not like James Brown, get down, get.
Speaker 4: Yeah, get down mole.
Speaker 3: No, get down wlack mole.
Speaker 6: Like You're just that's one that constantly will find its
Speaker 6: way back up to the surface somehow, even when I
Speaker 6: feel like I've done the work to push it down.
Speaker 6: But then that's great because when it does, I sort
Speaker 6: of know, I can recognize it and have that awareness,
Speaker 6: but it still pops up even though I've worked on it.
Speaker 5: Eddie.
Speaker 7: You guys may not know this about me, but I
Speaker 7: have sensory overload. So like big rooms Vegas stresses me out,
Speaker 7: which is a weird thing because everyone's always like, man,
Speaker 7: you're so much fun whenever.
Speaker 5: You are always trying to a compliment about yourself.
Speaker 8: What do you mean again?
Speaker 5: This feels like with Morgan was like people tell me
Speaker 5: how much young person.
Speaker 9: No.
Speaker 7: People are like always like a life of the party,
Speaker 7: You're so fun, life of the party. Which I do
Speaker 7: act like that when I'm in Vegas and big rooms
Speaker 7: or whatever, but like a stray organ, that is right,
Speaker 7: But in reality, I'm stressing out deep inside because noises.
Speaker 7: A lot of people talking kind of stressing me out
Speaker 7: because I just hear like white noise, almost like when
Speaker 7: a television's just like going sh It's kind of crazy.
Speaker 4: Lunchbox man, I don't struggle with a lot, so this
Speaker 4: is I'm just digging deep here. I guess fashion. You know,
Speaker 4: when we have a big event, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: I show up and I look good, but I'm not
Speaker 4: really sure what I'm supposed to wear. But I still
Speaker 4: knock it out of the park. But I do struggle
Speaker 4: with that.
Speaker 5: But I think the question was people think you're you
Speaker 5: don't struggle with it, but we know.
Speaker 8: You struggle with that.
Speaker 4: Oh you do know. I figure when you put pictures
Speaker 4: on Instagram, right, it's like, man, Lunchpot's got his fashion
Speaker 4: game together now.
Speaker 5: I think whenever you wear something good, people freak out
Speaker 5: because they're like, who is this guy?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Okay, you're good.
Speaker 4: Yeah besides that, I'm good man. I don't really struggle,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
Speaker 10: Reminded me of one that's like not as serious.
Speaker 6: But it is a thing like I don't like overhead lights,
Speaker 6: Like I don't like lights on, Like at home, I
Speaker 6: keep everything dim, and I I don't really realize it
Speaker 6: unless like other people at my house or other people
Speaker 6: bring it up and they want to turn the lights
Speaker 6: off and I instantly go over and bring them down,
Speaker 6: Like the it's over stimulating. There's something weird about it.
Speaker 6: I'm not saying people think, oh, that's so weird.
Speaker 10: You're so fun.
Speaker 5: You're known as being the light person, which is weird.
Speaker 4: Everybody like.
Speaker 9: Light.
Speaker 3: No, I don't know.
Speaker 11: This is hard.
Speaker 8: This is hard.
Speaker 5: That's why I was being vulnerable with you guys, because
Speaker 5: everybody thinks I'm awesome.
Speaker 4: They they expect that I'm loving this.
Speaker 8: I am.
Speaker 6: Can I say another one without you thinking that I'm
Speaker 6: giving myself a compliment?
Speaker 5: Probably not?
Speaker 4: Oh, here we go, here we go.
Speaker 6: Well, because lunch trucks is also reminded me of like
Speaker 6: fashion or dressing.
Speaker 4: I'm good, just go.
Speaker 6: Some people might think that comes or if they see
Speaker 6: outfits or something like.
Speaker 5: Especially how.
Speaker 10: That I might be good at that. But I don't.
Speaker 10: Like I'm so uncomfortable. I freak out.
Speaker 6: I text like Caitlin, I have to get like five
Speaker 6: friends opinions before buying anything, you know, Like it's not
Speaker 6: I'm not that confident in that area at all.
Speaker 10: Like if you see me in a cute outfit. I
Speaker 10: probably did not pick.
Speaker 8: It out, even though you think she looks like, so.
Speaker 5: We got you.
Speaker 8: This question was a trap, man.
Speaker 10: Is a trap?
Speaker 5: Got thank you for that. To close it up, sweating,
Speaker 5: it's the.
Speaker 1: Best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 2: Lunchbox is really annoyed with Eddie and then somehow it
Speaker 2: turned into Raymondo is annoyed with me and it all
Speaker 2: has to do with some dang cigars that came out
Speaker 2: of Key West.
Speaker 5: Number six, Lunchwalk is so annoyed by Eddie because of
Speaker 5: a cigar. I guess the one that he got from
Speaker 5: Key West.
Speaker 4: Yeah, key West. He walked around Key West with it
Speaker 4: in his mouth the whole time, never lit it. Okay, funny,
Speaker 4: It was funny for a day. Then he brings it
Speaker 4: back on the cruise ship, is walking around the cruise
Speaker 4: ship with it in his mouth, never smoking it. Kind
Speaker 4: of funny, but it's starting to get annoying. Then he's
Speaker 4: walking around the office at work with the cigar in
Speaker 4: his mouth still and it's like, dude, that was two
Speaker 4: weeks ago. Put it away.
Speaker 5: You're just joking now right, I mean it's kind of
Speaker 5: a power moved you really shouldn't be walking onund the office.
Speaker 5: The cigar.
Speaker 4: Now, okay, what are we doing.
Speaker 8: It's not lit.
Speaker 10: It's gotta be jermy at this point.
Speaker 8: Jermy.
Speaker 10: Yeah, like you've been sucking on it for a week.
Speaker 7: Man, and it's weird. Like if you smell it, it
Speaker 7: still smells fresh. And the weird thing is when I
Speaker 7: when I do sniff it, it takes me to key West.
Speaker 4: So we can just walk around the office with cigars
Speaker 4: and cigarettes in your mouth.
Speaker 5: Now it's not lit, it doesn't matter. You still shouldn't. Really,
Speaker 5: it's like walking on with a beer in your hand
Speaker 5: not open. Yeah, Like there are just some things that
Speaker 5: are appropriate for the office. For one bit that was funny,
Speaker 5: I didn't see it fun he got it no.
Speaker 8: More, okay, I mean I still have it.
Speaker 5: No, we saw you walking down with the bottle of
Speaker 5: whiskey gamy everywhere you went and he's still on the top.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't you'd be like, Okay, it's a funny bit, but enough.
Speaker 5: But Eddie's trying to like look cool.
Speaker 8: It does look kind of cool.
Speaker 5: I don't think it looks cool like.
Speaker 7: People like I see visitors walking in the office and
Speaker 7: they look at me like that guy makes decision.
Speaker 5: Now they're looking at like, why do they have a
Speaker 5: cigar in an office building?
Speaker 4: What is going on?
Speaker 5: Do you still have it with you?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a the refrigerator cause I read that if
Speaker 7: you put like tobacco in the refrigerator, it stays fresh.
Speaker 5: In the green room. No, take it home the green room.
Speaker 4: With all the snacks for the artists guys.
Speaker 5: So it smells it up?
Speaker 8: No, no it doesn't. It's not lit.
Speaker 10: What's it called a humidor? Then you need one of those.
Speaker 5: We get one for the officers, for Eddie's one who
Speaker 5: someone else was annoyed with Morgan about this too.
Speaker 8: She had cigars too.
Speaker 5: She went to the cigar place and took pictures. Is
Speaker 5: it ray? Was it year?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 12: So like Eddie being a poser not smoking it. Morgan,
Speaker 12: we go to this cigar shop and she had nothing
Speaker 12: to do with the cigars. She thought they were gross.
Speaker 12: She did her own thing, and then towards the very
Speaker 12: end of Key West, she goes, oh, I'm gonna take
Speaker 12: a picture next to this cigar painting and fake like
Speaker 12: I'm smoking a cigarette and a cigar.
Speaker 5: Well, the problem with that is that's being such a poser.
Speaker 12: It's just she didn't at all participate in the cigars
Speaker 12: until the Instagram picture.
Speaker 5: But can I be fair, I don't think any of
Speaker 5: you guys actually participate in the cigars. You guys did
Speaker 5: I never saw one cigar being smoked.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, we didn't. We didn't light them.
Speaker 10: Yeah, because Ray also walked around chewing on his Yeah.
Speaker 13: And they also took pictures in there, by the way.
Speaker 5: It's like people who take pictures of them holding guns
Speaker 5: and never shot a gun. That's kind of what it was.
Speaker 6: Like.
Speaker 5: Look how they got manly I am and it's like, dide,
Speaker 5: you can't even know I load her unload that thing. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't believe Ray called Morgan a poser because
Speaker 4: Ray was doing the same thing. And here's how here's
Speaker 4: how bad Ray was. He had it backwards.
Speaker 10: He was the.
Speaker 5: Mouth that like in a movie when someone's like they
Speaker 5: get a bazook out and they're like, I'm ready and
Speaker 5: it shoots out the bag.
Speaker 2: And he kept sucking on it so much, but he
Speaker 2: made it really sharp, and his wife had to keep
Speaker 2: taking it from him and unsharpening it because she was worried.
Speaker 3: What he was going to do with it.
Speaker 10: Like so wait what, wait what? Yeah, I don't want
Speaker 10: to know.
Speaker 5: So you guys went to a cigar shop. Yeah you
Speaker 5: bought a few, Yeah, I bought two. How much do
Speaker 5: they cost?
Speaker 8: Twenty bucks each?
Speaker 5: And then it was just to look cool.
Speaker 7: I mean I think I wanted to, like because I
Speaker 7: bought a lighter, but I just never lit it, and
Speaker 7: then I'm like, why light?
Speaker 8: At this point, it's just part of like who I am?
Speaker 5: Now you know you are? They ever heard it is
Speaker 5: not who you are? Okay? So here are the rules, Eddie,
Speaker 5: take cigars home? Okay, raymondo hilarious Morgan. They need to
Speaker 5: get over it.
Speaker 3: Thank you. I like my picture.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they need to get over it.

Speaker 14: she passed out and we don't know.
Speaker 2: I was upstairs in the cafetier eating French fries with chocolate. Uh,

Speaker 5: listen today's podcast. Just go search for the Bobby Bone
Speaker 5: Show wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 4: Number two.
Speaker 2: And speaking of the cruise, everybody bought different outfits to
Speaker 2: bring on so we could all look our best, including Eddie,
Speaker 2: who also now wants to return some things.
Speaker 13: That he bought specifically for the cruise.
Speaker 2: So this might bring up a ethical dilemma number four.
Speaker 5: Let's hut back into this topic. Eddie bought some stuff
Speaker 5: for the cruise. Some he wore, some he didn't, but
Speaker 5: he wants to take it all back, Like.
Speaker 10: Some of this stuff he didn't wear.
Speaker 5: Yeah, some shirts wasn't to some stuff he did wear.
Speaker 7: Oh, I wore a couple, so there's a total of
Speaker 7: three shirts. I wore two of them and I did
Speaker 7: not wear one of them, so one of them still
Speaker 7: has a tag. And the stickers and everything. So I
Speaker 7: don't feel bad about that one. Obviously I can return
Speaker 7: that one, but the I mean, why not just return
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna wear these are like Hawaiian cruise wear.
Speaker 8: I'm not gonna wear that again.
Speaker 10: You're like, mister, I love the beach guy. You'll wear again.
Speaker 7: Correct, But these were a little big on me, you know,
Speaker 7: so I didn't really they were a little too fluffy.
Speaker 7: I really didn't like it. So I'm thinking I'm turn
Speaker 7: them all back.
Speaker 5: If you wore it, you can't take it back.
Speaker 8: I wore it once on the boat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not like he was sweating, and you know, wearing.
Speaker 10: Once, it's in your arms ew, so.
Speaker 8: You can never. You guys, never take any.
Speaker 10: Clothes back if we've worn it.
Speaker 5: If I to me, like, my integrity would not allow
Speaker 5: me if I've used something to take it back. Because
Speaker 5: I used it, I paid for it, I used it,
Speaker 5: I wouldn't take it back. I may give it away
Speaker 5: to somebody, but I wouldn't take it if I didn't
Speaker 5: wear it, had a tag on it, take it back.
Speaker 8: What if you like, bought.
Speaker 7: A shirt you wear it out and everyone's like, oh
Speaker 7: that shir it's ugly, that doesn't fit good on you, Like, no,
Speaker 7: that's not a good shirt. I think that you have
Speaker 7: the right to go back and me, look, I don't
Speaker 7: want it. I'm not satisfied with his shirt.
Speaker 6: I wore this and I got no compliments. People said
Speaker 6: it was ugly. I mean, I guess you could be
Speaker 6: honest with the store and they might be like, okay,
Speaker 6: we'll take it back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 5: I think there's a difference on will they take it
Speaker 5: back versus should you Yes.
Speaker 6: I think that if you want to take back the
Speaker 6: one with the tag and then take the other ones
Speaker 6: and say, hey, full disclosure, I wore these, but they're
Speaker 6: a little big. I'm like, not totally satisfied. Then they
Speaker 6: may give you and they might be like, well, you
Speaker 6: wore it. Sorry, our policies we can't, or they might
Speaker 6: take it back.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't go on this route.
Speaker 5: I'd just be like I, you know, hey, he wouldn't
Speaker 5: chase the honest.
Speaker 4: I would go more like I tried this on. I
Speaker 4: took the tags off and then I was looking at
Speaker 4: it and didn't really fit right.
Speaker 8: Boom, don't say.
Speaker 5: I wore it out, so not even don't go honest lie.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean it's like I wore saying it didn't fit right.
Speaker 5: It's a lie.
Speaker 4: I wore shoes do a wedding and I cleaned them
Speaker 4: and took them back and they were like, oh, did
Speaker 4: you wear these? And they looked at the bottom and
Speaker 4: they could tell I warm. I was like, yeah, but
Speaker 4: they just didn't fit right. They give them my money back.
Speaker 5: But I think you'll get it back. Are you okay
Speaker 5: with yourself if you do that?
Speaker 15: Yes?
Speaker 5: Because if you are, like.
Speaker 10: What would you teach your.
Speaker 9: Kids to do?
Speaker 8: Well, my kids don't have to know about this.
Speaker 6: But what I'm saying, what if they came to you
Speaker 6: and said, dad, hey, what would you teach them to do?
Speaker 8: Guys, that's tough. Why are you putting that on me?
Speaker 5: Like you believe as a parent, though, there are some
Speaker 5: things you can do with your kids. Never need to
Speaker 5: know absolutely, okay, for sure.
Speaker 8: Don't talk about that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but that's an easy way to check yourself of like, Okay,
Speaker 6: what example do I want to be for my kids?
Speaker 6: Like lunchbuck is pubalic, no problem. I'd teach my kids
Speaker 6: to do this, but I don't think you would.
Speaker 4: Why what?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 5: What is one with Would you teach your kids that
Speaker 5: wear something and take it back?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 5: Okay? Do you would you teach yours.
Speaker 4: If it doesn't fit right?
Speaker 5: That's not the thing. It does fit right.
Speaker 8: It was a little bit, was a little bit.
Speaker 5: No no, no, that's not the same like it said large,
Speaker 5: but it was really big. What you could they'll probably
Speaker 5: take it all back. But if it were me, I
Speaker 5: would take the one with the tag back and I
Speaker 5: wore the other ones because you could have tried it
Speaker 5: on with the tag and you chose not to do that.
Speaker 8: I didn't. Yeah, I just grabbed it off the rack.
Speaker 5: This update doesn't what you do? You just know, just
Speaker 5: know Jesus knows. Okay, you got it okay, because everybody
Speaker 5: else we may not know.
Speaker 8: That's a tough decision, guys, is it though?
Speaker 2: It is?
Speaker 8: It is because I'm saving like so much money?
Speaker 10: Oh gosh, where did you shop?
Speaker 7: Let's target? You got a Gucci Target? At least this
Speaker 7: close that up.
Speaker 5: If you're still hurting from daylight saving time, some quick
Speaker 5: things here. Think of daylight saving time as jet lag.
Speaker 5: It's not losing sleep. It's I don't know that one
Speaker 5: stupid because I don't think enough people fly with jet lag.
Speaker 5: Give your body a few days to catch up. Okay,
Speaker 5: we're doing that. We can have no joint. Yeah, that's
Speaker 5: nothing we can even do, is one of them.
Speaker 10: Talk positively to yourself about it.
Speaker 5: Didn't make it. No, Make sure you get outside, preferably
Speaker 5: in the sunshine to help combat some of the effects
Speaker 5: of time change, like foggy thinking, feeling moody and of
Speaker 5: course being tired. Getting some exercise and going to bed
Speaker 5: earlier for a week and help sleep if you can,
Speaker 5: and pay attention to what you eat. This is normal
Speaker 5: to stuff.
Speaker 6: Yeah, let me tell you what I've been doing. Okay, insane.
Speaker 10: My body is handling this time change with ease.
Speaker 5: Oh you're just saying something I tell yourself.
Speaker 6: Yes, like this, I feel great. My body isn't impacted
Speaker 6: by this at all. It's crazy, Like I just talk
Speaker 6: to myself like that.
Speaker 8: Does that work?
Speaker 5: So far, so nice.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 2: Number two Bobby got certified and something that is totally
Speaker 2: life saving, and now he can just save all of
Speaker 2: our lives.
Speaker 13: That's basically what he's prepared for now.
Speaker 5: Number three, I got my certificate in CPR. Yeah, we
Speaker 5: did a couple of months ago, thank you, I'll talk
Speaker 5: for me.
Speaker 4: I talk for me.
Speaker 5: So a couple of months ago we went and took
Speaker 5: a class on baby CPR, and then we did adults
Speaker 5: while we were there. Why not do adults CPR? Already
Speaker 5: there we did the shockers. Oh you did a d
Speaker 5: learned about that how to do it on adults and babies.
Speaker 5: So I'm certified now I don't know what to do, Like,
Speaker 5: I don't think I can teach it.
Speaker 8: Can't teach CVR now, No you can't?
Speaker 5: And why abut I certified in?
Speaker 8: Can you can use it?
Speaker 10: It's like if you wanted a babysit, it'll come in handy.
Speaker 5: I think about that. Yes, I get on craig No,
Speaker 5: what's care dot com? What's the list for babysitters Angie's
Speaker 5: lest I go on Angie's list now and be a babysitter.
Speaker 8: But if any of us like need it, you But
Speaker 8: I don't need.
Speaker 5: To show you the card while you're unconscious. Now you're
Speaker 5: it's okay, Hey guys, I got the card.
Speaker 10: Certain gigs you have coming up, like just added to
Speaker 10: your resume.
Speaker 5: Hm, I am now certified in CPR. So we did
Speaker 5: all that we did. You know what, babies mostly need
Speaker 5: to be turned over and hit on the back, and
Speaker 5: so they're choking.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's when they're choking.
Speaker 7: But if their heart stops, you need to do the
Speaker 7: little finger push.
Speaker 5: Okay, not anymore, they've changed that. Come on, tell me
Speaker 5: for those that are wondering about baby CPR in the
Speaker 5: last few months, there are no it's no fingers. It
Speaker 5: was like that for twenty years. It's now two thumbs
Speaker 5: and two thumbs, and it's faster because you do adults
Speaker 5: to staying alive at that pace, you do babies with
Speaker 5: two thumbs to what song to nine to five? It's
Speaker 5: little faster because baby it's hard working. Nine two five.
Speaker 5: What a way to make a live And that's but
Speaker 5: that's okay, that's what's up. If it's if a baby's choking,
Speaker 5: you turn it over and you give it five boom
Speaker 5: boom booms on the back, and then you turn it
Speaker 5: over and you do two thumbs in the middle. And
Speaker 5: the thing about CPR that I realized too is you
Speaker 5: have to let it totally, like reconcile. It was like
Speaker 5: if you push down and you just come up a
Speaker 5: little bit, you can't go like push, Look, you gotta
Speaker 5: push down. Let it come all the way up. Okay,
Speaker 5: push push push, push push, And then did an adult
Speaker 5: and then you look down and see the chest. It's
Speaker 5: a whole thing.
Speaker 8: We did it and the adult thing. Do you is
Speaker 8: there no more? There's no more mouth to mouth?
Speaker 5: Right, So they don't recommend mouth to mouth because so
Speaker 5: many people do it wrong. Oh with the baby, mouth
Speaker 5: to mouth, you have to do over the nose in
Speaker 5: the mouth.
Speaker 8: Oh, you cover the whole Thingay, over.
Speaker 5: The whole thing. I guess if it's a really really
Speaker 5: small baby, just put the whole head in your mouth.
Speaker 5: Oh uh No, they don't really recommend that. They recommend going.
Speaker 5: When you call nine one one, you tell someone, you
Speaker 5: tell someone specifically. You don't say, can someone call nine
Speaker 5: one one? You go, you blue shirt, call nine one one,
Speaker 5: and then you keep going until someone gets there. And
Speaker 5: then we did the whole two pumps with a baby.
Speaker 5: If you do pumps with your hand, you just do
Speaker 5: one hand locked with a human with an adult, it's two.
Speaker 5: I did the whole thing.
Speaker 7: And then what are the numbers on the pumps? Oh, say, adults,
Speaker 7: what's the number?
Speaker 8: Like ten? Break?
Speaker 5: No, I don't you don't stop.
Speaker 8: You just keep going.
Speaker 5: You keep going till somebody gets there. I'm certified, so
Speaker 5: I feel like I can say with the baby before
Speaker 5: you go to the mouth, it's thirty then two puffs.
Speaker 8: God, that's such good information.
Speaker 5: Man thumbs, two thumbs. Okay, on choke. If a baby's
Speaker 5: choking and conscious, you don't go with your finger.
Speaker 8: To pull it out, right, that was the old days.
Speaker 5: You turn it over and you go back five times.
Speaker 10: What's the song?
Speaker 5: I don't know, let's pick one.
Speaker 8: Now there's no song.
Speaker 5: Well I'm gotten back touting girl I love and I'm like,
Speaker 5: forget you try that one. No, no, not that one.
Speaker 10: No songs, just thanks.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and if consciously, but then you do the thumbs
Speaker 5: up front. If there's no there is a point where
Speaker 5: you can go in and try to get it if
Speaker 5: they're unconscious.
Speaker 8: Now, did you you use the ad machine?
Speaker 5: Right, it's on a baby. You put one on the front,
Speaker 5: one on the back, And did the machine tell you?
Speaker 5: It tells you everything, what to do? The machine tells
Speaker 5: you everything. So you turn it on. It's like, how's
Speaker 5: your day? And I'm like, well, not great, I'm using you. Okay,
Speaker 5: good to know and then it says back away on
Speaker 5: the adult. You do one, and it tells you just
Speaker 5: so everybody know, it's very I have to grab one
Speaker 5: of these. Yes, you put one. It tells you on
Speaker 5: the chest basically upper chest and one on the side
Speaker 5: like where the ribs are. Yeah, and then you'll have
Speaker 5: to yell clear because I thought that was like the keyword, like.
Speaker 8: I don't know it does it?
Speaker 7: I did it even tell What's so cool about that
Speaker 7: is it even tells you if the person doesn't need it, Yeah, has.
Speaker 10: Detective put it on and they're like, yeah, you're good.
Speaker 5: It never said you're yeah, you're good, but it'll say
Speaker 5: something like detecting harderregulation or something.
Speaker 8: Yes, you can remove pads or whatever.
Speaker 5: We bought a machine for the house. Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 5: Because she was also like, you have a poll and
Speaker 5: there are people here, and she's like, you don't have to,
Speaker 5: but you're gonna have a baby. So keeping your car
Speaker 5: she said so many times, like athletic events, kids, it's
Speaker 5: like just having your car. And we were like, all right,
Speaker 5: we'll take one. That's such a good idea, so we
Speaker 5: have we Well I wouldn't have it yet, but I
Speaker 5: did a couple months ago.
Speaker 8: How much is one of those roun even hundred bucks.
Speaker 7: That's worth it? You can save up to get something
Speaker 7: like that's worth it? I mean, you don't want to be.
Speaker 5: When you whisper that to me, you think some listeners
Speaker 5: you kind of wanted to hide.
Speaker 10: It from something felt like asking this.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought it would be really expensive. Well that
Speaker 8: is no, no, but I thought I was gonna be
Speaker 8: like two million.
Speaker 6: Oh they're like, you don't have to have it, just
Speaker 6: keep it in your car.
Speaker 5: Holy crab. So yeah, I'm pretty proud of that. We
Speaker 5: went through, went through all the classes school. Babies are
Speaker 5: are are built to make it, They're built to survive.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and there I was, what, I know where you
Speaker 10: got that from.
Speaker 5: The ribs are full cartilage.
Speaker 10: Oh I thought you got that from Paradise.
Speaker 5: Oh that did happen on Paradise too, You're right, Yeah.
Speaker 10: That's where I was like, dang, babies are resilience.
Speaker 8: It's not a spoiler, is it?
Speaker 5: No, not at all?
Speaker 6: But trust me, but I thought about it three times
Speaker 6: before it came out of my mouth.
Speaker 5: Babies ribcages are full cartilage, and they're like, go give
Speaker 5: it the business. And they're also saying because we were
Speaker 5: practicing on the adult dummy, because you have to push
Speaker 5: hard and the thing has like sensors, like if you
Speaker 5: do it right, it gives you two green lights, and
Speaker 5: so I was getting two green lights. But I was like,
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm pushing hard, like I might break asternum.
Speaker 5: She's like, here's the thing. Uh, you break a starnum,
Speaker 5: they're alive. You don't break a starnum they're possibly dead. Yes,
Speaker 5: so if you do a broken sternum for a live
Speaker 5: person is okay. And that may not be like by
Speaker 5: the rule book, but I remember them telling me that
Speaker 5: my fear was, what if I break someone's ribs. They're like, okay,
Speaker 5: but if you break their ribs are still alive. I
Speaker 5: think they'll get over it. They'll be happy with it's
Speaker 5: worth saving their life. So took the class. Anybody needs
Speaker 5: saving real quick?
Speaker 8: Not yet, man, not yet?
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 5: So what I want to do is I got a
Speaker 5: bunch of cheerios for everybody. I want everybody to start eating.
Speaker 5: I just want to test something out. So eat these
Speaker 5: cheerios and maybe we'll check in later on the show.
Speaker 5: See everybody's doing okay.

Speaker 5: side of the story.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Oh do you know hom gonna say, Oh,
Speaker 4: I go for you?
Speaker 5: Go ahead, And why is Morgan irresponsible?
Speaker 4: Huh, Oh my gosh, she is so irresponsible, Like it
Speaker 4: is time for Morgan to grow up, Like we are.
Speaker 4: It is what Friday morning, and we got to get
Speaker 4: off the boat and they tell us to meet in
Speaker 4: this one spot by the sushi restaurant and we're there.
Speaker 4: Morgan's there on time, has her three bags because she
Speaker 4: has so much stuff, and then she gets to editing
Speaker 4: her TikTok video that her and I did on the boat,
Speaker 4: and she's so engrossed in her phone, editing, editing, editing, editing.
Speaker 4: Oh look alright, I got it posted. They're like time
Speaker 4: to get off the boat. Morgan gets up, walks off
Speaker 4: the boat and is loading her bags into the transportation
Speaker 4: to the airport, and she goes, oh, my gosh, where's
Speaker 4: my black bag? Where's my black bag? It has my
Speaker 4: computer in the five thousand dollars camera that belongs in
Speaker 4: our studio. Where is it? Oh my gosh, I must
Speaker 4: have left it on the ship. Lunch, take my bags.
Speaker 4: I gotta go find it. And she goes running back
Speaker 4: like they're gonna let her go back on your shit.
Speaker 5: You can't get back on the ship.
Speaker 4: We've already gone through customs. We've done it all, and
Speaker 4: she's just like, I'm out of here, and she just disappears.
Speaker 4: She left her bag on the ship with the two
Speaker 4: most expensive things she has because she was so engrossed
Speaker 4: in that social media.
Speaker 5: Man, it's time to realize that social media.
Speaker 10: She sounds so you want Morgan a girl, but yet
Speaker 10: you sounds elderly.
Speaker 4: I mean, guys, when you have a computer and a
Speaker 4: five thousand dollars camera, well yeah, that should be your
Speaker 4: number one priority, not the TikTok video Morgan.
Speaker 5: Our response is.
Speaker 4: That exactly what happened.
Speaker 3: It's not totally inaccurate. This didn't happen.
Speaker 2: I did leave my bag on the ship, and it
Speaker 2: was irresponsible. I was editing a video, but I was
Speaker 2: also just exhausted. Guys, I've been on that ship for
Speaker 2: eight days. I was not I was not in the
Speaker 2: right state of mind. I was so excited to get
Speaker 2: all my stuff and get back home. And yeah, I
Speaker 2: definitely had a huge brain fart moment, and I did.
Speaker 2: I left my bag on I did thanks to a
Speaker 2: listener and Rick So, a listener messaged me on Instagram
Speaker 2: as I'm panicking, right, you can't get.
Speaker 5: Back on it. Way.
Speaker 2: Yes, you cannot get back on the ship once you've
Speaker 2: gotten off.
Speaker 3: I learned that the very hard way.
Speaker 2: And so as I'm standing there, I'm trying to make
Speaker 2: all these phone calls see who's left on the ship
Speaker 2: to bring me my bag, because they said if they
Speaker 2: had to go get it, it was going to take
Speaker 2: three to five hours to go through customs and get
Speaker 2: back to me, which I did not have. I didn't
Speaker 2: have that time, and so I was calling everybody. Rick
Speaker 2: was searching for it. It was like a scavenger hunt for
Speaker 2: my bag on the ship. And then I just happened
Speaker 2: to pop back on Instagram and a listener named Chris.
Speaker 13: He sent a picture and was like, is this one
Speaker 13: of your guys's bags?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 10: Way, Oh that's crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 5: Chris, wait hip hop, Wow you got it. That's very
Speaker 5: Amy of you.
Speaker 9: I know.
Speaker 2: I had an Amy moment. And yeah, Chris saved my life.
Speaker 2: He was like, I was like, where is that? Tell
Speaker 2: me where it is. He's like, here it is. This
Speaker 2: is the location.
Speaker 3: Rick went and.
Speaker 13: Got it, and Rick bought it off, brought it off
Speaker 13: the ship for me.
Speaker 5: So we talked to Morgan when she was on the boat.
Speaker 5: She said she'd want a bunch of money in the
Speaker 5: casino on our cruise, and did you bring all the
Speaker 5: cash back with you?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's another great thing, guys, another irresponsible moment for Morgan.
Speaker 3: I had a rough last day.
Speaker 13: I forgot to catch them in.
Speaker 5: So you have chips, you have boat chips, boat chips, guys.
Speaker 4: She wakes me on that Friday morning, She's like, hey,
Speaker 4: so where do I cash in my chips? I said, girl,
Speaker 4: We're at port. The casino is closed.
Speaker 10: Wait, so what does she do? Wait until next year
Speaker 10: we're on.
Speaker 4: A different boat.
Speaker 5: You got to be able to mail him in or something, right,
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 13: I haven't done a whole lot of research yet.
Speaker 3: I'm not listen.
Speaker 2: The last day, Boozy bingo to me in I was
Speaker 2: not well. Okay, so that's why I did not catch
Speaker 2: her chips in.
Speaker 3: I was three sheets to the wind.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're thinking like one hundred and twenty five
Speaker 4: bucks hundred bucks? Right? No, no, no, Morgan, how many
Speaker 4: chips do you have?
Speaker 9: Three hundred and forty five dollars?
Speaker 6: WHOA, Okay, I've paid Reagan chips before, so maybe she
Speaker 6: can Ray will take them.
Speaker 5: I'll buy him for a hundred he cruises, But I
Speaker 5: don't know, you have to go back on it that
Speaker 5: the same boat, Like, we're doing the cruise again next year.
Speaker 5: And you guys, if you want to come on the
Speaker 5: cruise Topshelf Country Cruise dot Com. If for somehow it's
Speaker 5: already sold out, I mean, I don't know. There's a
Speaker 5: lot of people that have been signing up because we
Speaker 5: did a week's worth of the content just talking about it.
Speaker 5: But if you want to go, Riley Green is the
Speaker 5: first performer that we signed to play on it. But
Speaker 5: Topshelf Country Cruise dot Com. Ohough, we have more people
Speaker 5: to Laurena Elena who was just on the show, Randy Hawser,
Speaker 5: Chris Young Moore to be announced, but go. I'm assuming
Speaker 5: you can cast your chips in then, or you could
Speaker 5: sell them to Lunchbox for one hundred dollars. I don't know,
Speaker 5: that's a terrible deal. If it's all profit, I feel like.
Speaker 13: I should take the risk and potentially catch them in
Speaker 13: next year.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try.
Speaker 4: I mean, let me tell you. We were on a
Speaker 4: bus to the airport and we're driving away and Morgan
Speaker 4: is just standing outside the bus like a sad puppy
Speaker 4: dog and we're all just like, all right.
Speaker 5: Morgan, for which reason? Camera computer camera, camera, computer it
Speaker 5: And can't you forgot like a baby or anything on there?
Speaker 5: I good know about this more honestly, are you still exhausted?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Slept all weekend and I still feel like I got
Speaker 2: hit by a bus man.
Speaker 4: Question.
Speaker 5: Do you guys think that that's everybody coming off the
Speaker 5: cruise because they had a vacation or because you guys
Speaker 5: said it host so many things?
Speaker 4: I think, man, I think it's because we had to
Speaker 4: host so many things.
Speaker 5: Like if you go on a vacation, you're probably relaxed, right,
Speaker 5: there's no stress, like, there's no like time, there's no clocks.
Speaker 4: You just had to be wherever you can sleep whenever
Speaker 4: you want. That wasn't the case for us. And then
Speaker 4: I had an appearance on Saturday night. I got back
Speaker 4: and I had to work on Saturday.
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm just so dad worker over here.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 5: Maybe he went to see and came back a different person.
Speaker 4: Any chance, I'm a change man.
Speaker 5: Give me number to RAYMONDO.
Speaker 18: Hey, I was just commenting about Lunchbox having a red card.
Speaker 18: I worked in customer service and in hospitality at resorts.
Speaker 18: Typically that means that you have refused to put a
Speaker 18: credit card on file for charges, and so you get
Speaker 18: the red card or whatever your hospitality service gives you.
Speaker 18: But typically that is the reason.
Speaker 1: Love you guys, bye, That's not.
Speaker 4: The reason on this cruise ship. The cruise ship had
Speaker 4: red and blue because when they have performances, they can't
Speaker 4: fit everybody in the performances. So you have a red
Speaker 4: or a blue, or if your talent, you have a
Speaker 4: black so you can go into either show.
Speaker 5: So like Eddie and I did two performances, so we
Speaker 5: had a red show and then a blue show, right.
Speaker 4: And the red show was the first show. Is I
Speaker 4: tried to go to the second show and I had
Speaker 4: to sneak past the people.
Speaker 5: Is that even something we should do though, sneak sneak
Speaker 5: past things.
Speaker 4: I had to go out onto the deck walk, find
Speaker 4: the last door, sneak in there and go into the audience.
Speaker 9: Is awesome.
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think anybody else is trying to sneak.
Speaker 6: If they want to come, they go to the appropriate time.
Speaker 6: He was just trying to sneak because I think he
Speaker 6: wanted condent.
Speaker 10: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's trying to get video in second Instagram. They
Speaker 5: didn't just want to see the from the top corner.
Speaker 5: He kept like, I like you almost to have gotten
Speaker 5: court martial or whatever they do to you on a boat.
Speaker 4: Well, I couldn't get down to the bottom. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: didn't ever blue card.
Speaker 5: All right, one more.
Speaker 18: The cruise has been the best thing for my life
Speaker 18: right now.
Speaker 14: It's great.
Speaker 16: Lunchbox is pure entertainment.
Speaker 18: And he needs to say, all seven days and I
Speaker 18: have to go next year? Are killing it? It's great.
Speaker 18: I love it.
Speaker 5: Have it today by so many people reached out and
Speaker 5: said the red card drama was the funniest thing they
Speaker 5: had heard in months. No, it wasn't a bit. I
Speaker 5: swear to everybody listening. I had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 5: I promise you. I did not say let's give a
Speaker 5: lunchbox a lesser card. If anything, I would have made
Speaker 5: sure that he got a black card. I didn't know
Speaker 5: anything about it. Scuba didn't either. We don't know how
Speaker 5: that happened. Do you do you believe me? I believe
Speaker 5: you do you like Scuba? I believe Scuba. But also
Speaker 5: people like that's like people online. I saw people saying
Speaker 5: they don't have blue and red cards on a cruise.
Speaker 5: That's that's just made up.
Speaker 8: That was real.
Speaker 4: No, that's legit real, Like.
Speaker 5: Because there are so many people and that theater was
Speaker 5: like a thousand people and two thousand people on the boat.
Speaker 5: I don't know what the number is. Everybody can't get in.
Speaker 5: So I did two shows. D We had two shows.
Speaker 5: Scotty Murcury at two shows.
Speaker 4: And that's what they did with dinners too, is like
Speaker 4: the like if you had a red card, you went
Speaker 4: to dinner second, so you went to the shows first
Speaker 4: and then you went to dinner where the blue card
Speaker 4: was at dinner while the red card was at the show.
Speaker 6: But also that aside, like can you picture sitting around
Speaker 6: being like, oh, what, what crazy story should we come
Speaker 6: up with?
Speaker 10: Let's invent red cards and blue cards.
Speaker 6: It'll be so dramatic, Like I don't want is that
Speaker 6: what some people think we do?
Speaker 5: I think it was so good and maybe this is
Speaker 5: a testament to us not being that good. They were like,
Speaker 5: that's so good. You had to have made that up. No, No,
Speaker 5: Lunchbox had a lesser card than everybody, and we had
Speaker 5: nothing to do with it.
Speaker 4: And I think the icing on top was on. I
Speaker 4: could only get tap water.
Speaker 5: I think that was really not even bottlewater.
Speaker 4: Like I couldn't even get bottled water on the ship
Speaker 4: for the first three days.
Speaker 10: I don't even know that next year I'm going to
Speaker 10: have anything to drink.
Speaker 5: Okay, I cannot think about it.
Speaker 6: Also, I opened up my email and I got some
Speaker 6: email from a husband and wife.
Speaker 5: On the phone reminding you of the fun you had.
Speaker 6: Dear say, even though we had no idea who you
Speaker 6: were at first, you ended.
Speaker 10: Up enhancing our vacation.
Speaker 6: Huh, it says loved hearing some quote fun facts about you.
Speaker 10: I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 3: As I leave it at that, what in the world.
Speaker 5: We need to get checked?
Speaker 10: As I presume someone screens your messages.
Speaker 4: For you in the world, I'm like, what did I say?
Speaker 5: Now? What did you do?
Speaker 10: I'm not worried I did anything. I think I met
Speaker 10: them on the dance floor.
Speaker 8: Oh that's how it starts.
Speaker 5: Call us if you want our phone numbers eight seven,
Speaker 5: seven seventy seven Bobby again, not ads, because if you
Speaker 5: want to come and be on the cruise next year,
Speaker 5: it's up now. Top shelf Country cruise. This is not
Speaker 5: an ad for that. I guess it kind is, but
Speaker 5: we're not getting paid to say it. We're just saying
Speaker 5: we're doing it again. Yeah, we would love for you
Speaker 5: guys to come.

Speaker 11: Yes?
Speaker 5: What do you mean? What do you mean?
Speaker 11: You know, just other people or.
Speaker 9: Have expectations for it, and so you don't want to
Speaker 9: let people down, especially those that are working really hard
Speaker 9: on it, you know, and with the marketing and the
Speaker 9: promotion and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 11: So I'm just.
Speaker 9: Happy to be here, Bobby, you know that Earth or

Speaker 9: I get today.
Speaker 5: Well, today's big da because the singles out. Yes, the
Speaker 5: new album will be out the summer, but the new
Speaker 5: song is out, and so we're going to play some bridges.
Speaker 5: So this feels like it feels like it will. Yes,
Speaker 5: it feels like a wisdom song.
Speaker 9: It is.
Speaker 5: Tell me about it.
Speaker 9: Well, you know, we grew up as you're growing up,
Speaker 9: or always told you know, don't be burning bridges. Don't
Speaker 9: burn the bridges. You know, oh I know they you know,
Speaker 9: Like with my kids, I'm like, don't don't be rude
Speaker 9: to those hockey players in rec hockey because you don't
Speaker 9: want to burn those bridges because they'll probably be on
Speaker 9: your team next year. Or you know, be respectful to
Speaker 9: the coach. Don't be burning bridges because you know you
Speaker 9: might run into them. Whatever, and we're told, don't burn
Speaker 9: bridges you because you're not going to find you back.
Speaker 9: And or if you take chances, which is so funny
Speaker 9: because I'm looking at your book and fail until you
Speaker 9: don't if you don't take chance. If you take chances,
Speaker 9: oh you're gonna you know, you might end up off track.
Speaker 9: You know, you might make a mistake, you might fail.
Speaker 9: And it's like you sometimes you have to fail, you know,
Speaker 9: sometimes you and sometimes you have to burn bridges if
Speaker 9: they lead you back to a place that is harmful
Speaker 9: to you or where you lose yourself, it's not it's
Speaker 9: not worthy.
Speaker 5: Did you feel like this was the single when you
Speaker 5: wrote it or did you get all the songs together
Speaker 5: and then go this is.
Speaker 9: The one, Bobby, did we send you a link for
Speaker 9: the album?
Speaker 5: Why do you say that it's loaded?
Speaker 9: So I let someone else pick it because I was like,
Speaker 9: oh I love this one.
Speaker 11: Oh I love this one.
Speaker 9: Oh I love this So I was, yeah, They're like, boom,
Speaker 9: let's come out with this one. But so I wasn't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, So I have other things to talk about.
Speaker 5: I want to go to Amy first. What song comes
Speaker 5: to mind? If I just say, Jody Messina, what's what
Speaker 5: song first comes to mind? Of all of them?
Speaker 10: I mean it's got to be Heads Carolina.
Speaker 5: Would you think that's common? Is it? Most? Is it
Speaker 5: is that with most people? Because I think bye Bye
Speaker 5: to Me is the one that comes to my first.
Speaker 10: Good one.
Speaker 6: I was trying to see if another would come to me,
Speaker 6: but then that wouldn't be fair because then that the
Speaker 6: first one was Heads Carolina.
Speaker 5: What do you think the first one is the people?
Speaker 9: Probably right now Heads Carolina because of its resurgence, Yeah,
Speaker 9: because of its resurgence and all with cold.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 9: But but if you look at you know, what people
Speaker 9: are playing from my catalog, I think bye Bye was first.
Speaker 11: Then I'm all right, then Heads Carolina is.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's a lot of them. Then lesson leaving and
Speaker 9: stamp beside me on the rain.
Speaker 10: Then.
Speaker 5: Sings all your songs back Amy and here Amy, go ahead, O.
Speaker 6: Somebody's gonna give you a lesson and leave, and somebody
Speaker 6: he's gonna give you back and hold.
Speaker 9: Then I'm around to watch you knock it down.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I threw you off.
Speaker 5: Sorry, No, it's no trust me. You didn't throw trust me.
Speaker 5: That's not it at all. Are you still living away
Speaker 5: from here?
Speaker 9: I live here? No, Now I went. I didn't. I
Speaker 9: don't talk about this a lot.
Speaker 5: But don't you it's you? No, no, no, okay.
Speaker 9: I love to Georgia. For a few years. I went
Speaker 9: down there. Originally, Cancer Treatment Centers of America was down there.
Speaker 9: They had one in Atlanta and one in Minneapolis. They
Speaker 9: don't exist anymore, but anyways, that's why I went there,
Speaker 9: and I was there for a few years, and now
Speaker 9: I'm back.
Speaker 5: How's how's your health?
Speaker 9: It's good right now? Yeah?

Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 5: I know because I say that and I tell them
Speaker 5: my train, They're like, why are you train? And I'm like,
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Apocalypse No, Bobby, he but you act like you're training
Speaker 6: to be a pro athlete, like we're it's like we're
Speaker 6: training for life, like osteoporosis.
Speaker 9: Well, actually I'm going for a look, but you're taking longer.
Speaker 9: It's taking a lot longer.
Speaker 5: And I wanted maybe it was projecting right there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well lifting is very important for our bone house.
Speaker 9: It's women, it's and just yeah. I have kids, and
Speaker 9: you'll find this out. It's a lot of energy to
Speaker 9: came up with them. So yeah, and I'm going to
Speaker 9: start running with my fourteen year old. I used to
Speaker 9: be a big time runner. I ran Boston Marathon, Chicago.
Speaker 9: I didn't qualify, Bobby, you just got on ran.
Speaker 11: I was invited to.
Speaker 9: Run because I'm from Boston, so I would never have qualified.
Speaker 9: I'm way too slow.
Speaker 10: What was your time?
Speaker 9: I was? If you go look at that year, I
Speaker 9: am the second to last, only before my brother, who
Speaker 9: let me cross the line first. Because they cut it
Speaker 9: off at six hours. I think we're five hours and
Speaker 9: fifty nine minutes. I pulled my it band at mile six,
Speaker 9: so I'd have to stop every like mile or so
Speaker 9: and let my leg loosen up, let that muscle loosen up,
Speaker 9: and then start again. But I did finish it.
Speaker 5: Did you see them shutting down and you're just trying
Speaker 5: to beat them shutting down, taking all the all the
Speaker 5: stuff off. I think they were waiting, but.
Speaker 9: They're like, keep going, keep going, because there was like
Speaker 9: news cruise when I crossed the finish line, and that
Speaker 9: was the last thing you want to do is talk
Speaker 9: to somebody when you've been running for six hours.
Speaker 5: You were a marathon runner.
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, I mean I was never fast. It's kind
Speaker 9: of the story of my life. You just keep going,
Speaker 9: You just keep going, You just keep going, keep going again.
Speaker 9: I'm going to reference your book.
Speaker 11: I love it.
Speaker 5: Thank you bite on Amazon. Everybody I know, well until
Speaker 5: you don't. So how many did you do? You did Boston, Chicago, Chicago?
Speaker 9: I did the whole Chicago, I did the half of
Speaker 9: San Antonio, cross the finish line, walked on stage and
Speaker 9: played the show. It was a rock and roll marathon,
Speaker 9: so they have a concert at the end. I was it.
Speaker 9: So I had to finish my half marathon before this
Speaker 9: that started.
Speaker 5: So that was a little but you knew that was
Speaker 5: like you knew.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, oh yeah, they hired me to go down there.
Speaker 5: But you knew you were gonna run it and then play. Yes,
Speaker 5: how was that was that hard to do?
Speaker 9: It was okay, It was okay. You know, my legs
Speaker 9: started to feel a little jellowy towards the middle of
Speaker 9: the show.
Speaker 5: And then that's crazy that you do that. You're doing
Speaker 5: a lot of shows. I was looking at your tour schedule.
Speaker 5: It's part of I would imagine being in shape helps
Speaker 5: you do like a more active show.
Speaker 9: Right, Yes, my show is very active.
Speaker 5: What do you mean by that?
Speaker 11: I don't stand still.
Speaker 9: I'm like, there's two songs where I play a guitar
Speaker 9: on and that's about the stillest I get.
Speaker 11: And then other than that, I'm running around.
Speaker 9: I'm headbanging is you'll see a lot of pictures my
Speaker 9: hair flying.
Speaker 11: What do you do as your not a beauty show
Speaker 11: by any means.
Speaker 5: I want to spoil it, but what do you do.
Speaker 5: You have so many big songs. What's the what do
Speaker 5: you do as your final song?
Speaker 11: Final song of the night?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Is this a spoiler?
Speaker 11: No, it's not my song.
Speaker 9: Okay, I give a little pep talk to the audience.
Speaker 9: I'm like, if you have dreams and the things that
Speaker 9: you want to do, surround yourself with positive people.
Speaker 5: Can I guess then yeah, give me the pep talk.
Speaker 9: I okay, Oh well it ends with okay. So I
Speaker 9: mentioned you know, if you have something that you want
Speaker 9: to do, don't surround yourself with naysayers, because there's plenty
Speaker 9: of people that will say, well, that won't work. Because
Speaker 9: and I always tell my team, I'm like, please don't
Speaker 9: tell me, Why not tell me how you want people?
Speaker 9: And I'm like, look, God's word tells us that the
Speaker 9: tongue has the power of life and death.
Speaker 11: You either have people around you.
Speaker 9: That are like, oh, yeah, well not sure that's going
Speaker 9: to work out, or that's dumb, nobody's doing that, or
Speaker 9: you have people that are like, you can do it,
Speaker 9: You've got this. No, And I do say to the audience,
Speaker 9: I'm like, I'm not saying you're the greatest in the world.
Speaker 9: I was never said My sister was my greatest support.
Speaker 9: She's like fifteen years older than me, and she never
Speaker 9: was like, oh, you're such a great singer. She's just like,
Speaker 9: you just got to keep going. And I remember I
Speaker 9: got turned down by a record label in Nashville. They
Speaker 9: said it was too fat, and I.
Speaker 5: Was like, actually said that.
Speaker 9: They told my pretty said that, oh if she was
Speaker 9: ten pounds to the lighter, my designer is what they said.
Speaker 11: So and I was devastated.
Speaker 9: And she's like, I said that I did this showcase
Speaker 9: and I didn't get the record daily passed and she's
Speaker 9: like yes.
Speaker 11: I was like, what do you mean yes, She's like.
Speaker 9: Oh, they say you have to get passed on a
Speaker 9: thousand times before you get a deal. She's like, now
Speaker 9: you only have nine hundred and ninety nine leves. Just
Speaker 9: keep going, Just keep going. And I was like, and
Speaker 9: whatever you do, don't stop believing.
Speaker 5: Oh, well, now we know the song, don't stop believing
Speaker 5: that's the end. Well yeah, but you could you could
Speaker 5: have not said that part.
Speaker 4: I would.
Speaker 9: I don't say the name was in it.
Speaker 5: You know what. I was going to guess though the
Speaker 5: climb Miley Cyrus, that was gonna be my guest at.
Speaker 9: You's gonna be up and bad, always going on. Make
Speaker 9: you move. Hey, the hand of Montana thing is coming back.
Speaker 9: We gotta do the dance.
Speaker 11: Did you see that on TikTok?
Speaker 9: That only took us four hours till burn it.
Speaker 5: So you'll practice, you'll practice a long time for your tiktoks.
Speaker 9: Well, that one was long. I never I didn't know
Speaker 9: it at all, and then we learned it. We're on
Speaker 9: the road, boy, my.
Speaker 10: Legs are so the next day the hand them Montana dance.
Speaker 5: Who says to you, this should be the next TikTok
Speaker 5: that we do.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 11: I don't know if we do.
Speaker 5: You doom scroll on TikTok?
Speaker 11: I don't. I don't have time to scroll.
Speaker 9: But uh, the one that dances with me sometimes we'll
Speaker 9: have suggestions.
Speaker 11: Yeah, probably he would be the most.
Speaker 5: When you moved to town, how long until you had
Speaker 5: any sort of traction at all?
Speaker 9: Four years?
Speaker 5: Did that four years feel like forty years?
Speaker 3: It did?
Speaker 9: I remember? My first year was all about trying to survive,
Speaker 9: finding a place to live, pay in the bills, like,
Speaker 9: I didn't sing, and there weren't as many places. We
Speaker 9: didn't have Broadway Broadway was Tutsi's.
Speaker 11: I think that was it.
Speaker 9: And then Ernest Tabs Record Shop or whatever. It wasn't
Speaker 9: like fifty thousand bars with you know, open twenty four
Speaker 9: hours and different shifts or whatever, so there wasn't a
Speaker 9: lot of places to sing back.
Speaker 5: Then once he got here, where did you sing?
Speaker 9: Then talent nights I'd perform. I needed money for rent,
Speaker 9: so I would do the talent contests.
Speaker 5: Oh, you would try to win? Did you win?
Speaker 9: Yes? Yes I did, And that's how I got my start.
Speaker 9: I want a chance to perform on a radio show
Speaker 9: as well. And then the radio show had me back
Speaker 9: every Saturday night. It was called Live Libby's from Daysville, Kentucky.
Speaker 9: It's gone, but that's where my producer, Barron Gallimore heard me,
Speaker 9: who was producing Tim McGrath at the time, and then
Speaker 9: I took a meeting with him and then he's like, hey,
Speaker 9: let's work on a demo.
Speaker 5: So what would you sing to win these competitions? Because
Speaker 5: I like, what was your go to? Oh my gosh,
Speaker 5: rumor has it not all?
Speaker 9: Rumor? Has it you?
Speaker 5: And would you know they would that you'd melt them
Speaker 5: with that?
Speaker 9: No? I was always terrified. Yeah, I was always did
Speaker 9: you lose?
Speaker 5: Yeah, did you lose? Did you ever lose? Anybody else
Speaker 5: to ended up making in it?
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 9: There was one girl that I had done something with
Speaker 9: a long time. We were on a competition and she
Speaker 9: is nasty.
Speaker 3: She is mean.
Speaker 9: And then later after I had so Carolina came out.
Speaker 9: She got a record deal, but it didn't work out
Speaker 9: so good. I didn't say.
Speaker 1: That I did good good, but she's so mean good.
Speaker 11: She had money I didn't.
Speaker 9: So she had like the fancy guitar on the fancy
Speaker 9: clothes and was like, yeah, you're like ugh, And so
Speaker 9: she's just not nice.
Speaker 5: How does somebody from Massachusetts, That's exactly what I was
Speaker 5: going to ask you, how did they get into country music?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 9: I had gone to a boarding school and there were
Speaker 9: kids from all over the country there, and one of
Speaker 9: them was from like the South and would listen to
Speaker 9: country music. And I just loved it because I was like, Oh,
Speaker 9: they're singing about me there, singing about my life, and
Speaker 9: so I would gravitate towards that.
Speaker 5: Even though you lived in Massachusetts, like your rural Massachusetts.
Speaker 9: About thirty thirty miles outside of Boston.
Speaker 5: Then how was it your life? What would you hear that?
Speaker 5: Would would I.
Speaker 9: Hear baby alone?
Speaker 4: When I told you I could walk away?
Speaker 9: Remember that one? No, No, it's a song.
Speaker 5: I know a song.
Speaker 9: Break it to me gently, remember that.
Speaker 5: No one, No, I think Amy's hybriding.
Speaker 10: Now No, I feel like I recommend.
Speaker 9: And then I remember Alabama came out with Rule and
Speaker 9: I was like, oh, this is so cool.
Speaker 11: And the judge that Judgs came out too.
Speaker 5: Love that wear a lot of Judge in my house,
Speaker 5: my mom and my grandma. It was all Judgs all
Speaker 5: the time.
Speaker 9: Yeah. Then that I loved it, and so I gravitated towards.
Speaker 5: Were you singing in high school? Like in school I was.
Speaker 9: I started performing out in clubs when I was thirteen
Speaker 9: or fourteen.
Speaker 11: My mother would drive me. I'd sleep through class.
Speaker 9: It is not advice for those listening, but anyways, my
Speaker 9: mom would drive me out to open mic nights and
Speaker 9: I'd sit in with bands, and then my brother and
Speaker 9: my sister and myself put a band together, and then
Speaker 9: I'd ride with my older siblings.
Speaker 5: You had a family band kind of Yeah.
Speaker 9: We hired a guitar player, but my sister played the bass,
Speaker 9: my brother played the drums.
Speaker 5: Did they not want to pursue it further because they
Speaker 5: didn't move down for music, did they.
Speaker 9: They did not. They live here or now, but they
Speaker 9: did not. I think, you know, it was just a
Speaker 9: time where you just got to get a real job.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: And so my brothers had the same job since he
Speaker 9: was eighteen when he's a little older now, and like
Speaker 9: he was programming computers for the government or something, you
Speaker 9: know what I mean. He was a computer programmer and
Speaker 9: does that still to this day, same job, same never
Speaker 9: left that job.
Speaker 5: I My theory is there has to be a screw
Speaker 5: loose to even pursue what this is, right, it's got
Speaker 5: to be the right screw. But to pursue any sort
Speaker 5: of art, there's got to be a screw loose, yeah,
Speaker 5: because you have to have like this wild belief in
Speaker 5: yourself that even other people may not have. Like you
Speaker 5: have to believe in yourself so much.
Speaker 11: Do you just in yourself or do you just have
Speaker 11: to want the dream?
Speaker 5: It can be? But I don't think you can even
Speaker 5: understand the want of it if you don't believe in yourself.
Speaker 9: Really, because I'm really insecure.
Speaker 5: Even today, but I'm really insecure too. I think insecurity
Speaker 5: fuels me, I'm embarrassed by everything that I do. It's
Speaker 5: a weird juxposition of I believe in myself more than
Speaker 5: anybody ever, but also hate everything about.
Speaker 9: Me, right, I hear you. I didn't mean that, and
Speaker 9: I didn't mean way. She like, I hate yet, No, no,
Speaker 9: but I get it because you know, I'm looking at
Speaker 9: myself in the whatever in the room. I got my
Speaker 9: picture taken next to yours sign and I was like,
Speaker 9: I look awful. You know what I mean. You're your
Speaker 9: own worst critic, and so that that circle just keeps
Speaker 9: going on and on in your head, even when you're
Speaker 9: standing in front of tens of thousands of people. I
Speaker 9: remember playing on Texas Stadium for the first time, and
Speaker 9: I stood there at the edge of the stage and
Speaker 9: people were like screaming and cheering. It was so loud
Speaker 9: it like rumbled the stage, and I'm like, what am
Speaker 9: I doing here? Like I don't belong here? Like did they?
Speaker 9: And none of these people realize.
Speaker 5: That, and you can't let them out know that you're thinking.
Speaker 11: That, yeah, well I didn't.
Speaker 5: Now, Yeah, I think that. I think that happens with
Speaker 5: a lot of artists though, that when you for me,
Speaker 5: especially when I got to a point you start to go, man,
Speaker 5: I don't like this is kind of crazy. I don't
Speaker 5: know if I'm actually good enough, but I believe I
Speaker 5: at least believed I was good enough at some point.
Speaker 9: I think there's a point of gratitude too, where the
Speaker 9: gratitude kicks in. So if you go see my show now,
Speaker 9: it isn't really hey, look at me, I'm up here.
Speaker 9: It's like, oh my gosh, we're gonna have so much fun,
Speaker 9: you know, and I do.
Speaker 11: We have a blast with the audience.
Speaker 5: But for you to move down here, uh huh and
Speaker 5: want to be a singer and also have to have
Speaker 5: a job to make money again, you didn't have the
Speaker 5: benefit of having your bills paid for and still pursuing this,
Speaker 5: like there's there's a there's a small screw loose. To
Speaker 5: think you could do that, I think it was naive.
Speaker 5: It was that's a superpower.
Speaker 6: Though.
Speaker 9: If I knew that everyone that I ran into in
Speaker 9: town was in town for the same reason, I probably
Speaker 9: my insecurity would have kicked in and I'd be like, no, no, no,
Speaker 9: I can't compete with all those people, right, But I
Speaker 9: didn't know, so I was like, oh, I have an
Speaker 9: order to get a record deal, I gotta go to Nashville.
Speaker 9: So okay, I'm going to Nashville, me and fifty thousand
Speaker 9: other people.
Speaker 5: Did you get down and see other people and go,
Speaker 5: oh wow, the competition is pretty tough.
Speaker 11: Yeah, they're talented. Oh yeah.
Speaker 9: I'd go to these talent contests and I'd be like, oh,
Speaker 9: I'll just put my name on the list, something to do.
Speaker 5: Did you ever almost go home?
Speaker 9: No, because I loved to sing. I loved to perform.
Speaker 9: So that's what would fuel me and keep me in
Speaker 9: the room, was my chance to sing.
Speaker 6: That record label story is still thinking about them that
Speaker 6: said you were ten.
Speaker 11: Pounds if I was ten or they would have signed
Speaker 11: me like that.
Speaker 6: Like whenever you did get your first hit, did you
Speaker 6: ever think, like, you know, having like a pretty woman
Speaker 6: moment with them of like big mistake, huge, Like I
Speaker 6: have to go make music now I cance on thinking
Speaker 6: about how I mean? I know that's the reality for
Speaker 6: a lot of women in the business pop country. We've
Speaker 6: heard a lot of people, especially now that they're older,
Speaker 6: they're like, oh yeah, when I was first starting out,
Speaker 6: I heard this from my record label.
Speaker 10: This from my management team.
Speaker 11: I wasn't to wear my hair this way. I had
Speaker 11: to wear these clothes.
Speaker 9: I had to.
Speaker 10: Yeah, So, I mean, I don't know, did you just
Speaker 10: like let it go or.
Speaker 9: It's thirty years later I'm still talking about it.
Speaker 10: I didn't let it go, or like you run into
Speaker 10: them like kind.
Speaker 5: Of just you actel like it's not happening now too.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, no, I'm sure.
Speaker 6: I guess I just have a little bit of hope
Speaker 6: that maybe we progressed a little bit. But you're right,
Speaker 6: we probably as much as I would like to think
Speaker 6: that still happen.
Speaker 9: Actually, on my record, there is I was talking to
Speaker 9: an artist and she's.
Speaker 11: Like, man, I just you know, I can't do this.
Speaker 5: I can't do that.
Speaker 3: I just oh.
Speaker 9: She's like exhausted, and I said, whatever you do, don't
Speaker 9: let them hide you're beautiful. And then we wrote a
Speaker 9: song that's actually a song on the album.
Speaker 5: I believe it's track three.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, there you go, you know everything.
Speaker 9: But yeah, that's where that song came from, with someone
Speaker 9: being told by everyone else, no, this is what you
Speaker 9: need to do, this is how you have to look,
Speaker 9: this is what you should do, this is where you
Speaker 9: should be, this is you know, and it's like none
Speaker 9: of it's me? You know what are they selling? It's
Speaker 9: not me?
Speaker 11: And I was like, well, don't let them hide you're beautiful.
Speaker 5: Was there a time when you got to town where
Speaker 5: you had so much success that you started to feel
Speaker 5: a bit bulletproof because you had you had a run
Speaker 5: like a multi week that's like never been done before,
Speaker 5: where it's like number one for multi week, number one
Speaker 5: for multi week, number for multi week.
Speaker 9: Well, and that's the thing in when you're I remember
Speaker 9: Byron Gallamar telling me my producers saying, I was like,
Speaker 9: oh man, it would be so great to have a
Speaker 9: number one record, and he goes, yeah, but then you
Speaker 9: gotta have another one. And so you were so in
Speaker 9: the chase for the next one for me, and then
Speaker 9: again you're insecure, right so you're like, oh, gosh, I
Speaker 9: gotta have another one or else I'm done or else.
Speaker 9: What I remember, Downtime came out and it peaked at
Speaker 9: number or eight. What I would do for a number
Speaker 9: eight song right now? Not really, I mean, but it
Speaker 9: would be such a thrill to have her number eight song,
Speaker 9: right I'd be like, oh my gosh. But as soon
Speaker 9: as that song maxed out at number eight, they're like, well,
Speaker 9: she's done, she's done, she's over again. That was like
Speaker 9: probably twenty years ago, but still at that point, you know,
Speaker 9: everyone was so disappointed, and I felt like they were
Speaker 9: disappointed in me. I was like, I am a failure.
Speaker 9: I am you know. So I don't know that there
Speaker 9: ever was a point where I felt bulletproof. Now.
Speaker 11: It was always about working harder.
Speaker 5: If you could do it again, or you could tell
Speaker 5: you back then, like right when it was starting to hit,
Speaker 5: like right before you get your first number one, you
Speaker 5: have a deal, what advice would you give yourself? Then?
Speaker 9: I always say this, don't sell out who you are
Speaker 9: just to be successful.
Speaker 5: Do you feel like you did that?
Speaker 9: I think there were moments, yes where I did that,
Speaker 9: and then I would look at pictures and be like,
Speaker 9: oh boy, I remember that.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 9: There there's a point where I was myself. Then we
Speaker 9: went had some success, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 9: the people would flock and.
Speaker 11: Be like wear this, do that.
Speaker 9: We had a photo shoot and I remember looking at
Speaker 9: these photos. My hair was bone straight long down to
Speaker 9: hear all these like coutore clothes and I was like,
Speaker 9: I don't know who that is, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 9: but you look beautiful. I'm like, yeah, but I don't
Speaker 9: know who she is, Like, I don't know who that is?
Speaker 9: Who is that I can't I said, I don't go
Speaker 9: to Kroger looking like this. You know, people they would
Speaker 9: never see me look like that, you know, and I
Speaker 9: can't sell them. Why would I represent something that I'm not? Ooh,
Speaker 9: which that was a then then back then it was like, oh,
Speaker 9: you're being difficult. Oh she's hard to work with, and
Speaker 9: it was really just I can't pretend. I can't pretend
Speaker 9: to be something that I'm not.
Speaker 5: Were there a group of women that kind of had
Speaker 5: each other's back? Did you have it at all? Or
Speaker 5: was it so competitive?
Speaker 11: No, it wasn't.
Speaker 9: I don't know that it was like backbiting competitive. And
Speaker 9: I don't even know if it's that way now. I
Speaker 9: think a lot of social media creates those scenarios where
Speaker 9: it's like I see all these girls and just I
Speaker 9: love them. Be course, I'm a little older, so I'm
Speaker 9: gonna you know, they don't see me as like I
Speaker 9: want to get out of my way. But I think
Speaker 9: at that point, again, I was just running so hard
Speaker 9: for the end zone that I didn't really I'm always
Speaker 9: on the road. I was always, you know, touring always,
Speaker 9: or in the studio or whatever. I didn't have time
Speaker 9: to be like, hey, how's it going. And I was terrified,
Speaker 9: you know what? Actually, okay, back to the insecurity. There
Speaker 9: was one one award show I remember I shared a
Speaker 9: dressing room with Trisha Yarwood, Martine McBride, faith Hill.
Speaker 11: You would talk about beautiful women.
Speaker 9: Colley stand next to faith Hill.
Speaker 11: I never will.
Speaker 9: She's still stunning. And I had a curtained off section
Speaker 9: in the back corner and I didn't come out. I
Speaker 9: was just I did not feel worthy enough to be
Speaker 9: in the room with those girls. And so they but
Speaker 9: they read it probably this is just that, Oh she
Speaker 9: thinks she's all that, and I wasn't all that. I
Speaker 9: was just like, oh my gosh, I'm hiding from these beautiful,
Speaker 9: talented girls. So it wasn't it wasn't cutthroat or anything.
Speaker 9: It was just keep your eye on your own on
Speaker 9: your own game.
Speaker 5: At that point when you decide that you're going to
Speaker 5: do a new album or was it an album, because
Speaker 5: it could have just been a couple songs, and it
Speaker 5: kept growing, like what was this?
Speaker 9: It turned out I started writing a lot with people
Speaker 9: in town, and then someone's like, you should record this,
Speaker 9: you should record this, this is a hit, you should
Speaker 9: record this, And then it just started to roll into
Speaker 9: a full project because I was like, well, I don't
Speaker 9: you know, I'm just here to write. I just love
Speaker 9: to write, you know, I'm still out touring, always been touring.
Speaker 11: And so then they.
Speaker 9: Were like, you should really put this together as a
Speaker 9: as a record, and I was like, I don't know
Speaker 9: if anyone who wants to hear a record for me,
Speaker 9: and they're like, just do it, so we did.
Speaker 5: So have you put any expectations on yourself with this record?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 5: I'm asking you again, not anybody else like it? Or
Speaker 5: has the expectation been met already by just creating it.
Speaker 11: I would love to hear how people like yourself.
Speaker 9: Like the record.
Speaker 11: You know, of course you're always so kind, so you
Speaker 11: wouldn't be like.
Speaker 9: Well this sucks so not to my face, but I'd
Speaker 9: love to hear that because I wrote everything on the record,
Speaker 9: and it's never happened before. I've never written every and
Speaker 9: never been able to like pour my entire guts into
Speaker 9: an album. And that's the difference between now and then
Speaker 9: or then and now or whatever. Is a lot of
Speaker 9: stuff that I recorded was written by other people and
Speaker 9: staff writers at certain places where that were the great songwriters. Nowadays,
Speaker 9: the artists write most of their records, and I was like.
Speaker 5: Oh, can I do that?
Speaker 9: I can do that. This is great. So this is
Speaker 9: the first time I've ever had a writ There's one
Speaker 9: song I didn't write, but for the rest of the record,
Speaker 9: I wrote everything on there.
Speaker 5: So this is way more vulnerable, I think than you've
Speaker 5: ever been as far as a creator.
Speaker 11: Probably.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's a song on there. Yeah, there's a song.
Speaker 9: I share this in the live show. It's called If
Speaker 9: He Knew Jesus. And it came out of a conversation
Speaker 9: that I had with somebody and they're like, oh, you know,
Speaker 9: would you ever consider you know?
Speaker 11: Oh it was so and so and this.
Speaker 9: I was like, oh no, no, no, no, they gotta love Jesus,
Speaker 9: I said, because I've.
Speaker 11: Been down that road.
Speaker 9: And so I walked into the writing room and I said,
Speaker 9: I have an idea. I said, what if we wrote
Speaker 9: and I'm gonna start crying. I said, I have this
Speaker 9: idea of a song and it and it just starts off, well,
Speaker 9: if He Knew Jesus, there'd be no raisin.
Speaker 11: These babies alone.
Speaker 3: And so I start.
Speaker 9: Again started crying like I'm crying here, sorry, And the
Speaker 9: guys looked at me and they're like, oh man, it's
Speaker 9: gonna be a long day.
Speaker 5: But it wasn't. But they knew that was a song.
Speaker 5: But that's what they meant though, right, like see me
Speaker 5: a long day because they're gonna write that song with you.
Speaker 9: Well they're well, just because they're like, oh man, we
Speaker 9: gotta deal with her emotion.
Speaker 11: But we made it through. We made it through.
Speaker 9: And then there's a there's a verse in the I'm
Speaker 9: sorry the bridge that's like Willie might go to church
Speaker 9: know the words in the Bible, but only if he
Speaker 9: knew the man or whatever. And then one of the
Speaker 9: guys was like, Okay, this is making me second guess
Speaker 9: myself here.
Speaker 5: So it was just the found salvation in your writing.
Speaker 9: Oh that's my that is my hope. What is your
Speaker 9: big What is my biggest hope for this project? And
Speaker 9: I'll be really really honest is and it might be
Speaker 9: too honest and you can edit it out if you want.
Speaker 11: Is to be.
Speaker 9: Relevant enough to share the gospel with people behind the scenes,
Speaker 9: you know my heart on that.
Speaker 5: What do you mean behind the scenes, Well.
Speaker 11: You know, I think because.
Speaker 9: Like a lot of the new artists, I want to
Speaker 9: be a safe place for them to go when they're like,
Speaker 9: oh my gosh, how do I handle all this? Because
Speaker 9: they're inundated with requests and demands and requirements and all
Speaker 9: this other stuff, and it's like an opportunity to say,
Speaker 9: hold on a second, you're okay, You're okay. I just
Speaker 9: did a show with Carter Faith and I was like,
Speaker 9: here's my number. Things are about to get crazy for you,
Speaker 9: and if you need a safe space, please call me.
Speaker 11: And that's what I want.
Speaker 9: That's my heart's desire is to be a safe place
Speaker 9: for people who are spinning around so fast within the
Speaker 9: industry that they need to step away for a second,
Speaker 9: you know, just realize who they who they really are
Speaker 9: in the midst of it.
Speaker 5: Why would we edit that out?
Speaker 11: Oh I don't know.
Speaker 9: I don't like to talk about. But that's that's my
Speaker 9: heart because that's what happened with me. I know the
Speaker 9: road that they're walking. I know that the demands that
Speaker 9: are that are on them and the expectation on an
Speaker 9: everyday basis. I know what it's like to have things
Speaker 9: said that aren't necessarily accurate, and it's hurts. It hurts,
Speaker 9: and so you start to get a hard heart, and
Speaker 9: then you start to get you know, a little bit
Speaker 9: feistier and a little bit and then before you know it,
Speaker 9: you're you don't even know who you are anymore. And
Speaker 9: so just someone that understands what they're walking through and
Speaker 9: can give them a safe place to just decompress and
Speaker 9: be themselves, that's awesome.
Speaker 11: That's my heart.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Did CMT make being famous easier and harder? In
Speaker 5: what way people knew who you were because of videos?
Speaker 9: Videos?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 9: I don't know the easier or harder or both.
Speaker 5: But easier because they now knew who you were as a face.
Speaker 5: For harder because now you had to deal with the fame.
Speaker 5: Because there weren't really a lot of until CMT or MTV.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you wouldn't know what an RS look like.
Speaker 9: Right. Hence the Christopher Cross, you know, syndrome that happened.
Speaker 9: There was a big singer in a named Christopher Cross.
Speaker 9: And then someone said as soon as the video aspect
Speaker 9: came out, you know, that's when he lost some traction.
Speaker 9: And I was like, well that doesn't seem fair, but
Speaker 9: it did put a lot of expectation on the way
Speaker 9: you carry yourself and the way you know you have
Speaker 9: to look and et cetera. It did put all that
Speaker 9: added pressure on you, but also it was good for
Speaker 9: you know, people recognizing you and familiarity in the sense
Speaker 9: of getting his shows and getting work.
Speaker 5: Did you ever have like valets handing you music and
Speaker 5: stuff all the time?
Speaker 11: Still I dropped stuff in my mail in.
Speaker 5: Your mailbox, I got your home. Yes, Oh no, I
Speaker 5: don't like it.
Speaker 9: I like. The latest was the insect guy that came
Speaker 9: over and he's like, hey, yeah, so here will you
Speaker 9: go check out myself on this website pest control like
Speaker 9: pest control, Yes, the insect guy he is a.
Speaker 6: Singer too, sounds like right, But was he pest controlling
Speaker 6: my house?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 9: And then he spread the house Okay, he was like,
Speaker 9: and don't forget listen to myself.
Speaker 10: I mean, I guess.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 6: They show up and then they realized like, okay, whoa,
Speaker 6: this is Jody Messina's house.
Speaker 10: Like maybe I should choot my shot, but.
Speaker 9: What can I do? I'm like, I can't do anything
Speaker 9: for myself.
Speaker 15: I don't know.
Speaker 5: That's not true. That's funny, but that's not true.
Speaker 9: It's kind of true, right.
Speaker 5: I don't think so, because you play these shows where
Speaker 5: tons of people come you're you're again. I made the
Speaker 5: comment earlier, You're now TikTok relevant, which is hard, the
Speaker 5: hardest thing to be, Like, you just have all these
Speaker 5: different different avenues because fame is so fractured now. It
Speaker 5: is more fractured than I've ever seen it. Somebody could
Speaker 5: be famous to somebody and then the person next to
Speaker 5: them has no idea who they are. Yet this person
Speaker 5: is freaking out because this person that they follow, And
Speaker 5: so I think you're You're now so tucked strongly into
Speaker 5: these areas of like new versions of fame. Like I
Speaker 5: see people freaking out about you on TikTok and I'm like, oh, dang,
Speaker 5: this is like a whole different world of fame versus
Speaker 5: what the fame that you have had for the past
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five thirty years or so.
Speaker 9: You're right. I love that that it's fractured because it
Speaker 9: used to be you know, so many TV shows and
Speaker 9: everyone would watch them and everyone either had new them
Speaker 9: or didn't you know what I mean. It was like,
Speaker 9: it's not like you know you now have you find
Speaker 9: your celebrity here, or you find your music there, or
Speaker 9: you find you know.
Speaker 11: So that's a great way of describing that. It's so great.
Speaker 9: But I love it in the sense of people are like, well,
Speaker 9: we think your demographic is da da da da, and
Speaker 9: then you come to and a lot of these people
Speaker 9: don't come to the show. So my old thing is
Speaker 9: look at the first fifty rows. Yeah, I'm like, we
Speaker 9: got six year olds with their moms and their grandmother's
Speaker 9: so we're coming. So I think with all those different
Speaker 9: social media platforms, we're able to hit different demographics. And
Speaker 9: you know what, these kids still love Bye Bye, and
Speaker 9: they still love I'm all Right, and they are singing
Speaker 9: it so light. It's crazy the way they find music now.
Speaker 9: They're singing like deep cuts all the words. I'm like,
Speaker 9: I don't even know the words.
Speaker 5: So that's why I you were being too harsh on
Speaker 5: yourself when you said you can't even do things for you.
Speaker 5: You're doing massive, great, wonderful things right now.
Speaker 9: I think I live in a bubble, so like I
Speaker 9: just post my little through my little dance, you know,
Speaker 9: and I then I go bring my kids to school
Speaker 9: and that's true. You know, I'm at the rink. I'm
Speaker 9: at the hockey rink or whatever.
Speaker 5: Kids play hockey.
Speaker 9: Yes, so I see Dirk's Bentley quite a bit.
Speaker 5: Do you play against Dirk's kids or the same team?
Speaker 9: Well, his kids are younger, it's sunning younger. So but there,
Speaker 9: you know, it's so funny. One time I was like,
Speaker 9: are you at the rink?
Speaker 11: At textative?
Speaker 9: And he texted me back He's like, I'm always at
Speaker 9: the rink.
Speaker 5: I'm like, I get you. So do your kids play
Speaker 5: hockey because they have fallen in love with it because
Speaker 5: of Nashville or because you come from a hockey place
Speaker 5: and you pass it down the road.
Speaker 9: They discovered it on the run. They discovered it when
Speaker 9: we lived in Georgia. They started with inline hockey, which.
Speaker 5: I don't know what that is, like a roller blade.
Speaker 9: Got it and then they wanted to play ice. So
Speaker 9: when we moved back here, they play ice hockey.
Speaker 5: Disc too cold for me? You think if I got
Speaker 5: to wear a coat to go watch a game, ain't
Speaker 5: for me?
Speaker 9: Well, sometimes you don't have to wear a coat, but sometimes,
Speaker 9: you know, sometimes they keep those rinks.
Speaker 5: Do you travel or you travel parent?
Speaker 9: No? Because I travel for work, so my kids were
Speaker 9: not able to try out for the travel teams.
Speaker 5: That's probably better.
Speaker 9: Well, yeah, and I wasn't gonna let him, like, Hey,
Speaker 9: you go to you know, Detroit by yourself with people
Speaker 9: that I don't know and all that stuff.
Speaker 5: But well, I'm so happy that one you're here. You
Speaker 5: have a box of gifts. Do you I mean, do
Speaker 5: you want to give it to us now or do
Speaker 5: you want to give it to us after? I don't
Speaker 5: know what it is.

Speaker 11: on the air.

Speaker 9: and so there's eighteen months to eighth grade kids that
Speaker 9: I lead worship with and I always wear my happy
Speaker 9: pants for them. Mostly the middle school. We could care less,
Speaker 9: but the little ones like my pants.
Speaker 5: And we're like your little ones were We act like
Speaker 5: it's our whole situation here.
Speaker 9: Did you get to all your questions?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 5: I could just for two hours?
Speaker 9: Oh I can. We can fire them.
Speaker 11: I'll tend words less.
Speaker 5: Did you ever, like way back in the day, talk
Speaker 5: about doing dancing with the stars?
Speaker 9: Oh? My yes, yeah, they never I wasn't ever.
Speaker 5: But did they not approach they approach you or now
Speaker 5: they never approached you about it?
Speaker 9: No, they I've got I went out there a few
Speaker 9: times too so to support people, and they still never call.
Speaker 9: See okay, I'd like to say maybe they saw my
Speaker 9: TikTok it.
Speaker 5: Hasn't been up long enough. I think I think you
Speaker 5: would be excellent for the show. Oh i'd love Do
Speaker 5: you do it now?
Speaker 15: Oh?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 11: It would be fun.
Speaker 5: Okay, I mean I know people, so I'll just send
Speaker 5: out a text and be like hey, Because they do
Speaker 5: look for different areas, right they look for somebody in
Speaker 5: country music every other year. They do look for like
Speaker 5: an athlete. And I'll just be like, hey, keep jodyn
Speaker 5: Seeing in mind. If you wouldn't mind me doing that,
Speaker 5: I'll go for it. I don't want to do that,
Speaker 5: and then go for it.
Speaker 9: It'd be fun because if.
Speaker 5: They came to and you said no, then I'd look bad.
Speaker 5: Then I'd have to be like boycott d.
Speaker 9: I don't even have a response. Okay, the boycott thing.
Speaker 9: I thought i'd have a quick comeback. I needn't.

Speaker 9: the whole thing.
Speaker 11: Till your show.

Speaker 9: I somebody said why has it taken ten years? And
Speaker 9: I was like, well, I don't know. I've just kind
Speaker 9: of been content.

Speaker 11: to be here.
Speaker 9: I'm happy to be here at the Bobby Bones Show
Speaker 9: and happy to be here.
Speaker 10: You know, well, there is just different energy about you.
Speaker 6: Like sometimes people come in and they're happy and it
Speaker 6: feels a little manufactured or just like they're putting on
Speaker 6: and like you're just like I feel the energy.
Speaker 9: So that's that's Jesus. That joy, that joy that comes
Speaker 9: from within. Is not like, oh, he makes me so
Speaker 9: happy because he gave me a new car.
Speaker 11: I don't have a new car. He bought it used,
Speaker 11: it's five years older.

Speaker 9: I'm like, that's a gift, that it really is. And
Speaker 9: you know that I love you and I see maybe
Speaker 9: once every couple of years, and it's so so this
Speaker 9: moment is awesome.
Speaker 5: It's weird. Just do you say that, because you're right,
Speaker 5: that's absolutely right. But I social media allows you to
Speaker 5: feel like you're closer to somebody because we know each other.
Speaker 5: But I see all the sid that you're doing, so
Speaker 5: I don't I don't feel like it's been a couple
Speaker 5: of years. But you're right, I think since we've hugged
Speaker 5: each other, it's been a couple of years. Yeah, but
Speaker 5: I do like keep up so it doesn't feel like
Speaker 5: we're so disconnected. And I also feel like I could
Speaker 5: just message and me like, hey, what up?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I said, Bobby messages.
Speaker 5: That's not weird. That's because that's because we know each other.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I like to think.
Speaker 9: I like to think so because there are moments where
Speaker 9: I just reach out or I think when you announced,
Speaker 9: when you guys made your announcement, I was like, hang on, brother,
Speaker 9: where it's about to change.
Speaker 5: My wife getting pregnant?
Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, because let me tell you, there's a part
