Speaker 3: I have one planned for my animals tomorrow, very exciting.
Speaker 3: I put treats in little eggs and send them off
Speaker 3: into the backyard and it's so fun. And then my
Speaker 3: cat I put them kind of all randomly on the
Speaker 3: counter and she just kind of swapped out them.
Speaker 4: But it's fun nonetheless.
Speaker 3: So I hope you guys are enjoying this Easter weekend

Speaker 3: All that good stuff. And then Part three we answer
Speaker 3: listener questions as always that I post on my Instagram page.
Speaker 3: All right, everybody. The reason you are here, though, is
Speaker 3: to catch up on the Bobby Bone Show. The top
Speaker 3: seven segments from the show this week. Let's go wo Cardinals,
Speaker 3: blue Jays.
Speaker 4: Oh my.
Speaker 3: We talked to All Things birds this week after an
Speaker 3: actor shared an experience they had with a hawk and
Speaker 3: how they think it was another actor sending them a sign,
Speaker 3: and Amy kind of clarified her thoughts on birds and
Speaker 3: how she feels with her mom and her dad and
Speaker 3: that whole experience that she has, and maybe some people
Speaker 3: can relate if they also have experience seeing their loved
Speaker 3: ones in the birds.
Speaker 5: Number seven, This made me, Thank you, Amy. So, Maggie Wheeler,
Speaker 5: who played Janis on Friends, can you do the impression?
Speaker 5: YEAHO fine, I'm getting her in the Nanny.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So she says she got a sign from Matthew Perry,
Speaker 5: who played Chandler, and she was talking about it and
Speaker 5: that sign was a hawk that flew over while she
Speaker 5: was in a neighbor's pool. Now, I bring this up
Speaker 5: because neither Amie's parents are alive and she believes they
Speaker 5: are both birds. Her mom is a cardinal. Her dad
Speaker 5: is a blue jay, and she got very excited because
Speaker 5: she saw a cardinal and a blue jay together one
Speaker 5: day and thought her parents were back together. And you
Speaker 5: know what, that's exciting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, they were rarely at the feeder together
Speaker 1: and I was like, what, this is amazing.
Speaker 5: So she saw this bird, a massive hawk. She also
Speaker 5: lost her brother to addiction and says she got a
Speaker 5: message from both of them recently. So that's quote. After
Speaker 5: Matthew died Matthew Perry, I was in a neighbor's pool.
Speaker 5: I was alone, there was nobody else around, and I
Speaker 5: was on my back thinking, man, I shurely look out
Speaker 5: for him, meaning Matthew Perry and her brother. And then
Speaker 5: two hawks flew over her head and flew past her.
Speaker 5: One circled around and the other one came down near her.
Speaker 5: She was a beautiful moment.
Speaker 1: That's legit.
Speaker 6: That's so cool.
Speaker 1: That's good for that's special for her.
Speaker 5: I love that, I especially, Yeah, I guess I needed
Speaker 5: to find what I think special? What do you think
Speaker 5: special about that? Do you do you think that was
Speaker 5: Matthew Perry and her brother.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in like whatever way they could, she was given
Speaker 1: that sign of like peace or whatever she needed in
Speaker 1: that moment, because she was asking for that and she
Speaker 1: got it.
Speaker 5: Back to my question, do you think that Matthew Perry
Speaker 5: was one of the birds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm not exactly sure how it works because
Speaker 1: I don't really think my mom is in the bird.
Speaker 5: Oh well, the narrative has changed a bit.
Speaker 1: It doesn't change, you know, I've always felt this way.
Speaker 1: I don't think that she is physically in the bird
Speaker 1: like her soul. She's not reincarnated as the bird.
Speaker 6: That's what you me too.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, guys, I've always been clear. It's not reincarnation.
Speaker 6: Guys.
Speaker 5: Has she been clear?
Speaker 1: No, I've been like, my mom is sending me a
Speaker 1: sign through the bird, like my dad because remember my
Speaker 1: mom's ad Because guys, remember the dead blue jay. My
Speaker 1: dad was sending me a message through the dead blue jay.
Speaker 1: So he's not in the blue jay because otherwise than
Speaker 1: he'd be dead.
Speaker 5: Again, Okay, I'm confused here. So your mom is not
Speaker 5: the bird.
Speaker 1: She it's just easier to say she is the bird.
Speaker 1: But she's sending me the message through the birds. So
Speaker 1: she's the bird, but she's not.
Speaker 5: Your Mom's not the bird. She's just sending out like drones.
Speaker 1: Can you just imagine it?
Speaker 5: Like she like, she's like Santa Claus at the North Pole,
Speaker 5: but he has his other guys go out.
Speaker 6: Malls to the malls, the other Santas.
Speaker 5: So the other Santas are birds for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you for that analogy. I think that that's
Speaker 1: a good way to put it. It's like Santa has
Speaker 1: all his little other Santas.
Speaker 5: Your mom has mal Santa's.
Speaker 1: My mom has a She must have a slew of
Speaker 1: cardinals because at her disposal, because she uses them.
Speaker 5: Do you think every cardinal and when I'm mad, if
Speaker 5: like you're up there and all of a sudden, somebody
Speaker 5: who comes up and has access to all the cardinals
Speaker 5: and you don't.
Speaker 1: Right now, other people obviously have access to their own cardinals.
Speaker 5: What about the ones that you see? Do you think
Speaker 5: they're all your mom?
Speaker 1: I don't. Not every cardinal speaks to me. It's sometimes
Speaker 1: if I've asked for something or I just I can't
Speaker 1: explain it. I see the cardinal and and I have
Speaker 1: a sensation and an internal dialogue that starts to happen
Speaker 1: with the bird, like it's like a connection, like oh hey, Mom,
Speaker 1: Like telekinesis. Yeah, I don't know a message is coming through.
Speaker 5: You're talking to the bird without talking with human words.
Speaker 1: Have you not had this experience with anything ever?
Speaker 5: It sound like it because he's laughing, so it makes
Speaker 5: me laugh, and I'm just trying to figure out what
Speaker 5: your head is.
Speaker 1: I know, I don't. I don't think that you're making
Speaker 1: fun of me. And I guess what I'm asking is
Speaker 1: for a little grace because I don't fully understand how
Speaker 1: it works. I don't know. I think that it's it's
Speaker 1: been a special thing for me between me and the
Speaker 1: birds ever since my parents died. I don't I didn't
Speaker 1: ever have this experience until my mom died.
Speaker 5: And what was the cardinal about? Why did the cardinal
Speaker 5: get assigned to your mom?
Speaker 1: Because a bird? We were at my sister's house in
Speaker 1: a hospice situation when my mom died. We'd set up
Speaker 1: my sister's master bedroom or primary room as the hospice
Speaker 1: care and we were laying in the bed with my
Speaker 1: mom when she passed. And as we're laying there with
Speaker 1: her for like an hour, a cardinal came into the
Speaker 1: tree outside my sister's window, and it was a beautiful
Speaker 1: fall morning, and then all of a sudden, in this
Speaker 1: green tree, there's like a red cardinal. And my sister's like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's mom. So she was saying like, hey, guys, I've
Speaker 1: crossed over. I'm here, I'm fine, Like you're gonna be okay.
Speaker 1: We both felt this sense of peace. So ever since
Speaker 1: then it was a cardinal. Then fast forward many years later,
Speaker 1: my dad passes away, and I'm really into birds at
Speaker 1: this point, and I have a feeder and a blue
Speaker 1: jay has never visited my feeder. And I know this
Speaker 1: because I played bird Bingo and I would keep track
Speaker 1: of my visitors. You nip, And all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: who flies to my feeter? After my dad dies?
Speaker 6: You're dad?
Speaker 5: Well, now the Santa Claus in the mall of your dad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess my dad got access to blue jays
Speaker 1: because there he is.
Speaker 5: And then you think it's regions like sonics, Like you
Speaker 5: have a region if you get a sonic, like this
Speaker 5: is your area. Oh, like you have territories for if
Speaker 5: you're a cardinal or blue jay, and you're like, I
Speaker 5: am the cardinal keeper of the territory that my daughter lives.
Speaker 1: You know, like my dad could have come as something else.
Speaker 1: But in that moment, I had this, like I said,
Speaker 1: this internal dialogue, this connection. All of a sudden, I'm like, Dad.
Speaker 5: And you're like talking back and forth without talking.
Speaker 1: Same thing. When my mom showed up at the feeder
Speaker 1: as a cardinal and my dad showed up as the
Speaker 1: blue jay, I'm like, yeah, yeah, Hey, what's up. Y'all
Speaker 1: are hanging out. I don't know if they're back together,
Speaker 1: but they're like, look, we've reconciled. We're cool. Like I,
Speaker 1: I know we got divorced when you were younger, but
Speaker 1: everything's good now, life is good. But do every time
Speaker 1: I see a blue jay hair cardinal, is it my
Speaker 1: mom and dad?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: Oh, the ones that don't talk to you are probably
Speaker 5: somebody else's.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain it. Like the cardinal
Speaker 1: when it came to tell me to move that was
Speaker 1: my mom. I saw the cardinal. Your wife was there
Speaker 1: a bird told to move houses and she did so.
Speaker 1: She so she she's in like she could not be
Speaker 1: anymore a good word. I can't prove you're wrong. You can't.
Speaker 5: I know, I cannot prove you're wrong.
Speaker 1: But have you ever had something that just unexplainable? No,
Speaker 1: but you still have faith in it.
Speaker 5: No, I think that I wish I had a little
Speaker 5: more of what you have. I just want a dose
Speaker 5: of it.
Speaker 1: I don't Maybe you should ask for it.
Speaker 5: Can I have a dose of it?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 6: Here it comes.
Speaker 1: Ask for a sign, because that's what.
Speaker 5: A bear opens the door and walks in.
Speaker 6: That would be more believable. But lion would walk in,
Speaker 6: like we don't see lions around here.
Speaker 5: Well, that is a little doominal snowman. No, listen. I
Speaker 5: saw the story about Janis and Matthew Perry and thought, oh,
Speaker 5: that reminds me of Amy.
Speaker 1: I know that I sound like a complete wacko when
Speaker 1: I talk about this.
Speaker 5: Everybody that experiences something different sounds like a complete wacko
Speaker 5: until other people experience the difference. Right, So I was, yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm giving you that grace. I just wanted to know
Speaker 5: what your thoughts were. Yeah, and if Janie saw her
Speaker 5: Matthew Perry and her brother as hawks, because she I.
Speaker 1: Think she absolutely did. They have access to hawks apparently,
Speaker 1: and they sent some down because she was like laying
Speaker 1: there asking for it.
Speaker 5: Okay, there you have it, guys, very well explained. I
Speaker 5: can't prove you're lying. I can't prove you're wrong.
Speaker 1: Now now that Eddie's into birds and he's lost his father, you.
Speaker 6: Have I haven't said anything this whole segment, but I
Speaker 6: do think a dove that's been coming around to my
Speaker 6: dad window.
Speaker 5: You're just taking of birds because Amy put that in
Speaker 5: your head.
Speaker 6: No, he possibly, possibly, but my dad picked a dove.
Speaker 1: Apparently his dad has access to doves, because.
Speaker 6: This dove came to my window and looked in my
Speaker 6: windows like, cos up is it?
Speaker 1: Let me ask you?
Speaker 5: Did you have bird feeders on your window?
Speaker 6: Yeah? For sure?
Speaker 1: Is it a mourning dove?
Speaker 6: Okay, it's a mourning dove.
Speaker 1: Yeah, mourning And it's not mourning m o r. It's
Speaker 1: mourning m ou are I'm mourning?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Hey guys, I just want you guys, and I
Speaker 5: love you guys. And uh, no judgment. I'm glad it
Speaker 5: gives you guys peace because that's really what it's about.
Speaker 1: Okay, Eddie, I would I want you to pay attention
Speaker 1: to this morning. Devin. Also, I hope I.
Speaker 5: Gotta get lunchbox. Ten seconds he's sitting over there about
Speaker 5: to explode ten seconds ago.
Speaker 7: You guys make us sound like the cucko din like,
Speaker 7: I mean, everybody's listening to this going. These people have
Speaker 7: lost their freaking mind. Eddie. You put a bird feeder there.
Speaker 7: He's looking for the food. There was no food in
Speaker 7: the bird feeder. He's like, hey, dude, you forgot. He's
Speaker 7: not saying, Hey, what up?
Speaker 6: I'm my dog?
Speaker 1: Do that?
Speaker 7: I mean Amy, And you say, just trust me on this.
Speaker 7: I talked to it without talking to it. What are
Speaker 7: you talking? You sound psychotic?
Speaker 5: I alway psychotic. But it's different and all people that
Speaker 5: have differences are looked at it a little weird at
Speaker 5: first until they're proven true. So hey, I'm glad you
Speaker 5: guys have found some sort of piece.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 2: All right, it's the best bits of the week with
Speaker 2: Morgan Number two.
Speaker 8: You know, we can't always be smart, and for some
Speaker 8: of us, we had some really dumb moments lately, and
Speaker 8: it identified with some of you guys out there on
Speaker 8: our social media because you're like, yeah, say this has
Speaker 8: also happened.
Speaker 4: So maybe if you just.
Speaker 3: Need to hear somebody else share a moment where they
Speaker 3: were just really not smart aka dumb, then here you go, Bobby, Eddie, myself,
Speaker 3: We're all going to share some stories.
Speaker 5: Number six. I struggle with sleep. I get nerves in
Speaker 5: the bottom of my stomach whenever I'm in the bed.
Speaker 5: It's the only time that I think I have anxiety,
Speaker 5: or at least the only time I allow the anxiety
Speaker 5: to take over. I really struggle with sleep, and I
Speaker 5: have for a long time. I only now call it anxiety.
Speaker 5: Forever I was just like, I just can't sleep, but
Speaker 5: it really it's like a when your foot falls asleep.
Speaker 5: That's what it feels like in the bottom of my stomach.
Speaker 5: When I go to bed at night, when I lay
Speaker 5: there long enough, I fill my heart pounding in my neck,
Speaker 5: I feel it pound on my shoulders, and my stomach
Speaker 5: feels like my foot's asleep, but just not in my foot,
Speaker 5: my stomach.
Speaker 6: This is a.
Speaker 5: Weird array of symptoms, but that is a version of anxiety.
Speaker 5: So it is what it is. I try different things,
Speaker 5: and I try to read books on anxiety. I tried to,
Speaker 5: and I read this, and this is gonna be my
Speaker 5: I cannot believe I'm this stupid story. And if anybody
Speaker 5: else has one, then I'd like you to share it.
Speaker 5: But I cannot believe I'm this stupid because as I'm
Speaker 5: trying to track down why I can't sleep. I'm reading
Speaker 5: this story about how to wake up less groggy because
Speaker 5: there are some nights I get three hours, four hours,
Speaker 5: some nights I get two. I'm wait for two, but
Speaker 5: I wake up and I'm groggy as crap. And then
Speaker 5: I read about this beer that actually helps you be
Speaker 5: less groggy, and I'm blown away and I'm going, there's
Speaker 5: a beer.
Speaker 1: What? Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 5: This It's not what you're thinking.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not it is it natty light?
Speaker 5: Well, it's literal natural light, not of the beer natural light.
Speaker 1: I thought they were talking about the beer.
Speaker 7: Ny you no natural light.
Speaker 5: The whole story I'm reading, the whole thing about natural
Speaker 5: light will help you wake up less groggy. And I'm like,
Speaker 5: maybe I drink the beer I never drink in my life.
Speaker 5: And I'm going, maybe I just try the beer in
Speaker 5: the morning and it helps me with my sleep. Except
Speaker 5: it's not natural light the beer. It's literal natural Lightian rhythm. Yes'
Speaker 5: not the beer too. Oh my gosh, welcome to the team.
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, solid marketing from natural light, because now that's
Speaker 1: what they didn't do that I understand. But natural light
Speaker 1: has been around since God created it, and we see
Speaker 1: that in the headline in an article, and we immediately
Speaker 1: we think beer instead of like the god given natural light.
Speaker 5: We've always said, well, I.
Speaker 6: Too believe God created natty light.
Speaker 5: Well, I again, as someone who's never had a drink
Speaker 5: of alcohol, I'm going, maybe maybe this is the reason
Speaker 5: that I need to drink some alcohol. I'm fine with
Speaker 5: I'm not morally against alcohol, but I'm like, maybe I
Speaker 5: need to drink now. And then I'm like, why the
Speaker 5: cheap beer because I never had it, But that's what.
Speaker 6: That's cheap, Definitely cheap.
Speaker 5: It'd be like Red Dog twenty twenty makes you feel
Speaker 5: better at night. And so then I started reading the
Speaker 5: story and it's like letting natural light in your bedroom
Speaker 5: twenty minutes. And I'm like, I'm such an idiot because
Speaker 5: I'd already gone down though, Am I gonna drink same?
Speaker 5: That natural light will help you be less groggy? But
Speaker 5: not the beer that's funny, literal natural light. So yeah,
Speaker 5: that's that's me. The last time you felt stupid, Eddie,
Speaker 5: you have one?
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, this mine's different. Like, I just felt like
Speaker 6: an idiot because I never do this, and I don't
Speaker 6: know why I decided to do it. But I had
Speaker 6: a Dallas Cowboys shirt on, and I saw a guy
Speaker 6: walking towards me with an Eagle shirt and I was like, okay,
Speaker 6: big rival. So I flashed him on Dallas Cowboy. I
Speaker 6: was like Cowboys Nation baby. And he looked at me
Speaker 6: like what is he? What are you doing? I said
Speaker 6: Eagles fan and he's like no, this is like Middleton
Speaker 6: Elementary Eagles. I don't like football.
Speaker 5: He wasn't a Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 6: I felt like an idiot.
Speaker 5: Yeah that's fun, Morgan.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I had my smoke alarm going off for weeks.
Speaker 3: I would think i'd fix it the battery and it
Speaker 3: just keep beeping. I took the whole thing out of
Speaker 3: the ceiling and this thing kept beating. I was like,
Speaker 3: this doesn't make any sense in my brain. I call
Speaker 3: somebody out and he's like, okay, yeah, let me take
Speaker 3: a look. He's like, no, I mean maybe it just
Speaker 3: needs new batteries. I was like, I've done that, but
Speaker 3: we'll do it. It keeps beaping. He's like, do you have
Speaker 3: any other alarms in here? And I was like no,
Speaker 3: do you have a carbon monoxide monitor?
Speaker 4: Happened to be in here?
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, there is one plugged in behind
Speaker 3: the mirror, and he goes.
Speaker 4: He looks.
Speaker 1: He's like, man, that's what's been beating for.
Speaker 5: The past several weeks.
Speaker 1: So do you have a carbon monoxide leak? No it?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, would have been.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, okay, Well, I'm just thinking, like, what what
Speaker 1: if that's her vertigo She's slowly.
Speaker 5: Dying in carbon monoxide. It's also tough to find the
Speaker 5: one that is beeping if you have multiple smoke bombs
Speaker 5: in your house, because you're like, okay, and then you
Speaker 5: like try to count. You stare at one. You just
Speaker 5: stare at it and you're like, I think it's that one.
Speaker 5: Bit like oh my god, it's not that one, So
Speaker 5: you go to another one.
Speaker 3: And I did that whole thing with every single alarm,
Speaker 3: Like I shut doors and I.
Speaker 1: Was focused on each one.
Speaker 4: I was like, it has to be this alarm.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's funny. That sucks there. I remember once out
Speaker 5: a car problem. I couldn't get my car. I was
Speaker 5: in a in a in a garage and it would
Speaker 5: not start. And I don't know much about cars, but
Speaker 5: I know how to start the car. It would not start,
Speaker 5: would not start, So I have as part of my
Speaker 5: like a roadside assistant sight thing with the car. And
Speaker 5: so they come out and the guy gets in and
Speaker 5: all of a sudden starts it up, and I'm like,
Speaker 5: he didn't do anything under the hood. So something happened
Speaker 5: that I'm I know, I'm about to be embarrassed, and
Speaker 5: I'm like, what was wrong? He goes, it was in drive.
Speaker 6: You're it wasn't.
Speaker 5: It wasn't even in p for me to start. It
Speaker 5: literally was sitting there in drive so it wouldn't start.
Speaker 5: I felt pretty stupid there too. I don't know that
Speaker 5: I fell as stupid as a natural light though, And
Speaker 5: I'm thinking about giving up all my history of not
Speaker 5: drinking to have natty light to wait wake up in
Speaker 5: the morning.
Speaker 6: That's pretty funny.
Speaker 5: I show drunk.
Speaker 6: You're like, I'm just doing the story, guys, the story
Speaker 6: said do it.
Speaker 5: We'll put this up on social media too. Last time
Speaker 5: he felt stupid, just go to our Facebook page and
Speaker 5: you can write underneath.
Speaker 2: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 4: Lunchbox may or may not have yelled at some middle
Speaker 4: school kids.
Speaker 3: No, he definitely did. That's what this segment is all about.
Speaker 3: And I kind of think he was validated. Some people don't.
Speaker 3: Some people on the show think he was validated, some don't.
Speaker 3: It's all across the board of how everybody feels about this.
Speaker 3: But it happened over his kids in.
Speaker 5: A swing set number five. So Lunchbox kind of fought
Speaker 5: with some middle school kids. Have you guys heard this story?
Speaker 5: Does anybody know about me? Okay, then I'm going to
Speaker 5: remove myself and let him tell it and let you
Speaker 5: guys make up your own minds. Okay, okay, okay, I'll
Speaker 5: recuse myself from the story. Lunchbox, go ahead.
Speaker 7: So my three year old and five year old were
Speaker 7: a couple doors down. They have a swing in the
Speaker 7: front yard, and they were just swinging on the swing,
Speaker 7: having a good old time, and these three middle school
Speaker 7: dudes go walking by, and I don't think anything of it,
Speaker 7: no big deal. And then here come my three year
Speaker 7: old and five year old running home, and they look
Speaker 7: upset and they're like, da dada. Those kids told us
Speaker 7: they were gonna slap us in the face and knock
Speaker 7: us out of the swing. Why would they say that?
Speaker 7: And then that's my time. I'm like what do I
Speaker 7: do here? I'm like I'm sorry they said that to them?
Speaker 7: Do I go confront these middle schoolers? Or do I
Speaker 7: just leave them alone? Do I just let it go?
Speaker 5: I would say, out, leave them alone, and you don't win.
Speaker 5: You don't win fighting adults versus kids, even if you're right,
Speaker 5: you don't. That's not a win. So so I.
Speaker 7: Jumped on my bike.
Speaker 5: This is where the adult part gets swept out because
Speaker 5: it go middle.
Speaker 7: You know, because they're about a block block and half away,
Speaker 7: and I'm like, I'm not going to run after him.
Speaker 7: I'll just jump on my bike and I ride up
Speaker 7: to him. I said, guys, what are we doing? Does
Speaker 7: it make you feel cool to talk to a three
Speaker 7: and five?
Speaker 6: I like that.
Speaker 7: Let's not be a bunch of dumbasses.
Speaker 5: Oh you that to the kids?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Describe the kids you're talking to.
Speaker 7: Maybe thirteen, probably eighth grade, seventh or eighth grade, you
Speaker 7: know what I mean. And they think they're so funny.
Speaker 5: Were they just bratty enough to swing on you though,
Speaker 5: because then you get into a place where you can't
Speaker 5: hit back, and now you're getting beat up at thirteen
Speaker 5: year olds.
Speaker 7: Maybe?
Speaker 6: Were they much smaller than you?
Speaker 7: No, because they were definitely tall.
Speaker 5: I mean did it startle them that an adult man
Speaker 5: comes up on a bike to.
Speaker 7: They were like, oh, uh uh, I mean we're just
Speaker 7: playing and I was like, no, no, you can't. Like
Speaker 7: it's a three and five year old. Does it make
Speaker 7: you feel tough to talk to them that way?
Speaker 5: And they're like, okay, I agree with everything you said,
Speaker 5: and fuel I think it's tough when you don't know
Speaker 5: the kids. And what if their parents were nearby watching
Speaker 5: an adult man come up to them threatning them, then their
Speaker 5: parents jump in and.
Speaker 7: Hold on, there was no there was no threat.
Speaker 5: I said, you did say a curse word, and you did.
Speaker 7: Where was the curseword?
Speaker 6: Dumb dumby?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a curse word. And then secondly, you did
Speaker 5: approach them on a bike aggressively. Yeah, with your baseball
Speaker 5: car and your spokes.
Speaker 6: He rang his bell when he pulled down.
Speaker 5: I agree with what you felt. I haven't agree with
Speaker 5: what you said. It's just risky to do that with kids,
Speaker 5: because ain't your kids and you really you're also going
Speaker 5: on your three and five year old's word of exactly
Speaker 5: how it went down.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I mean my three and five year old
Speaker 7: they don't ever say anything. I mean, you know what
Speaker 7: I mean. I did see the kids walk by, and
Speaker 7: then my kids immediately come running back and they look upset,
Speaker 7: and I'm like, man, these kids are threatening a three
Speaker 7: and five year old, Like how but.
Speaker 5: How threatening were they really? If they're just idiot thirteen
Speaker 5: year olds yelling at kids on a swing and wasn't.
Speaker 1: Lunchdogs an idiot thirteen year old?
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I wouldn't talk trash to a three year old.
Speaker 7: It's like, you know how small a three year old is, Guys,
Speaker 7: a three year old is tiny. You know what a
Speaker 7: three year old looks like when you're thirteen.
Speaker 5: Maybe he was taking it on the five year old
Speaker 5: and three old, which is there could have been. Again,
Speaker 5: I agree with how you felt. I don't agree that
Speaker 5: you should have gone up to the kids and been like.
Speaker 6: Hey, it's definitely risky.
Speaker 5: It's risky because all he needs. Another parent said, I.
Speaker 7: Didn't call him das I said, let's not be DA's
Speaker 7: same thing.
Speaker 5: If you're saying it, it's the same thing that means
Speaker 5: you are, so let's not.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 7: Maybe it does, but I felt like I handled the
Speaker 7: situation because I was like, man, this is the It
Speaker 7: was my first time i've ever having that moment of
Speaker 7: what do you do like the other kids messing with
Speaker 7: your kids?
Speaker 5: I did it feel good? Did you win?
Speaker 7: I did it feel good?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 7: It felt pretty good. I was like, yeah, I mean
Speaker 7: I let those kids know, hey, don't mess with my kids.
Speaker 5: Do you feel like you were telling you though a
Speaker 5: version of you when you were thirteen?
Speaker 7: A little bit? Because I remember my dad telling some
Speaker 7: kids when they had messed with my brother's car. They
Speaker 7: had broken the windshield.
Speaker 6: Oh gosh.
Speaker 7: And he saw him one day and he told them,
Speaker 7: don't f with any cars tonight. They're like, excuse me, goes, Look,
Speaker 7: you guys got to go to bed. You want to
Speaker 7: app with cars? I can have with your car all
Speaker 7: night because I don't have to go to sleep. Never
Speaker 7: mess with my brother's car again.
Speaker 5: But you are also the kid messing with cars. I
Speaker 5: was and throwing tennis balls on the interstate of people.
Speaker 5: I was, yeah, okay, I feel like I give it
Speaker 5: a C. Mind you get to pass because nothing bad happened.
Speaker 5: But if I'm grading this whole thing, I give it
Speaker 5: a C minus. I don't think you should go out
Speaker 5: after other people's kids, though, because they didn't really do
Speaker 5: anything to your kids except yell at them.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they kind of threatened them. Okay, we'll slap you
Speaker 7: out of that swing.
Speaker 5: Amy, what do you if you're what do you give
Speaker 5: his grade for his actions? I give him a bee
Speaker 5: honor roll what for his reaction? But he has to
Speaker 5: stand up for his kids, and like I got to
Speaker 5: other kids to an adult, maybe you go to their parents.
Speaker 5: You find their parents and go to their parents.
Speaker 1: Okay, I know, but you're talking to someone. When those
Speaker 1: kids stole from my kids, I went and confronted them
Speaker 1: and the police told me not to.
Speaker 5: Why do you think the police told you not to?
Speaker 5: My friend? Exactly like the point, exactly.
Speaker 7: Point the cops told you not to.
Speaker 6: Let me tell you something. It takes a village and
Speaker 6: Lunchbox did the right thing by telling them not to
Speaker 6: mess with A plus A plus.
Speaker 1: So he got to see you b in an a.
Speaker 5: I think it's okay to tell kids not to mess
Speaker 5: with them, but to go up to him on a
Speaker 5: bike on the road when you don't know who's around
Speaker 5: their parents, I think that he puts himself in dangerous
Speaker 5: It's the best bits of the week. With Morgan number.
Speaker 3: Two, we all shared some life updates recently. One had
Speaker 3: to do with a grocery store. One was a portable
Speaker 3: device that somebody was gifted for their birthday. I took
Speaker 3: by some therapy and somebody on the show was worried
Speaker 3: about another show member.
Speaker 4: So just lots of things in here, and they're kind
Speaker 4: of updates, kind of just the life moments, all the things.
Speaker 5: If you will number four updates about life around the room.
Speaker 1: Amy Well, I have a little debate in my head
Speaker 1: right now because of the grocery store. Yesterday. I saw
Speaker 1: an interaction between a man and a woman in the line.
Speaker 1: We were checking out, and I was a few behind
Speaker 1: this woman that had a full cart and she was
Speaker 1: up next and the guy behind her only has two items,
Speaker 1: and I guess he was in a hurry, and he
Speaker 1: asked her, do you mind if I just go real
Speaker 1: quick before you, And she said no, sorry, I'm in
Speaker 1: a hurry too, Otherwise I guess I would let you.
Speaker 1: And he just mumbled under his breath, he's like so
Speaker 1: much for common decency, And I was like, what is
Speaker 1: wrong with him?
Speaker 5: Why?
Speaker 1: Why is she now at fault because she was ahead
Speaker 1: of you in line. I get that she has way
Speaker 1: more stuff, but if she's in a hurry too. She's
Speaker 1: going to get the heck out of there as well,
Speaker 1: and she doesn't have to give you that spot in line.
Speaker 5: They both kind of suck, yeah, because she doesn't have to.
Speaker 5: She doesn't have to get up the spot. But it's
Speaker 5: two items. They would take forty five seconds for him
Speaker 5: to get through if they're both in a hurry, and
Speaker 5: he's gonna go so quick. It's like the Dave Ramsey,
Speaker 5: so I'll pay off your lighta's death quick as you
Speaker 5: could actually let him go and almost lose no time.
Speaker 5: Where he is going to lose a lot of time.
Speaker 5: It's his fault. It's his fault, totally his fault. But
Speaker 5: you can roll and be like, hey, do you mind.
Speaker 5: She kind of sucks for not all know what, because
Speaker 5: if she's in such a hurry, she's not gonna have
Speaker 5: a full basket of groceries and get nineteen things. She's
Speaker 5: gonna get her things and get out of there quick.
Speaker 5: You're not in such a hurry if you have full
Speaker 5: grocery day. Okay, she probably was, just like I was
Speaker 5: in line first, which I respect, and you it's your
Speaker 5: spot in line. It's like people on planes who are like, hey,
Speaker 5: will you move so my kid can sit here? It'd
Speaker 5: be nice if they did, but you don't have to.
Speaker 5: And when they shame people who don't move, I'm like, no,
Speaker 5: they're no shame of them. They got that seat, she
Speaker 5: had that spot in line. That's absolutely hers. But also
Speaker 5: it's two items. It take them ten seconds. However, dude,
Speaker 5: you got there late. There's no mumbling comment. How about
Speaker 5: get there and be on time to stuff?
Speaker 1: You know. I was just like so glad I wasn't
Speaker 1: her in that moment.
Speaker 5: I feel like they both kind of suck a little
Speaker 5: bit there and that one Eddie.
Speaker 6: I got the best birthday gift ever from my sister.
Speaker 6: It's called a Ninja Blast blender. And it's a portable blender.
Speaker 6: It's the size of maybe like a tall boy, like
Speaker 6: a beer tall boy, and you charge it.
Speaker 5: That's all. That's all the size it is.
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe a little bigger, huh. And so you charge
Speaker 6: it like a phone and then it's a blender and
Speaker 6: it works. So basically like if I go to like
Speaker 6: my workouts, I put all my fruit in there, my protein,
Speaker 6: and I don't have to blend it yet.
Speaker 5: What workouts are you going to or you're taking this
Speaker 5: your workout. You've never once brought it over.
Speaker 6: It's in my car. It's SATs in my car.
Speaker 5: When did you get it?
Speaker 1: He's going first birthday, birthday?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, and then it stays in my car. And
Speaker 6: then when I'm done my workout, I just hit and
Speaker 6: it blends while I'm driving and I can drink my smoothie.
Speaker 6: Not only that, dude, I can make I can put
Speaker 6: all this stuff for a margarita head to my kids
Speaker 6: baseball games in the parking lot.
Speaker 5: I think that invention is great, but he's not going
Speaker 5: to use it how he says he's using it in
Speaker 5: a car after a workout.
Speaker 6: Already been using it at home.
Speaker 5: I think it's a great practical thing to travel with,
Speaker 5: but he's not going to take fruit and travel with
Speaker 5: the fruit. And then that he's done that, I've done it.
Speaker 6: I even showed our trainer. He was like, WHOA, that's
Speaker 6: the coolest thing.
Speaker 5: How many times have you done it?
Speaker 6: Twice?
Speaker 5: And how many workouts did you in the morning before
Speaker 5: work twice? And did you quit that?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just saying I think the inventions great. I'm
Speaker 5: not hitting on the adventtion. I think it's super cool.
Speaker 1: Wait I get I know ninjas make great blenders, but
Speaker 1: what's this one called Ninja.
Speaker 6: Boy and it's called the Ninja Blast blas.
Speaker 1: So it's like gives you, like maybe like a little
Speaker 1: sixteen outs smoothie.
Speaker 5: But it does sound really cool to make a sixteen
Speaker 5: out smoothie at home on the road, man.
Speaker 1: On the road, when you blend it up fresh if
Speaker 1: something about it, I get the idea behind that.
Speaker 5: He's not going to take it with them on the
Speaker 5: road and make it right when he gets.
Speaker 1: Literally it's a cordless portal. I had never heard of
Speaker 1: this before.
Speaker 5: I think the invention is cool. I know you, I
Speaker 5: know me. No way, no way. Why would you just not?
Speaker 5: It doesn't matter because the.
Speaker 1: Little pop tops, you're like drinking.
Speaker 6: It like you drink it like like the whole blender
Speaker 6: is like a cup.
Speaker 5: Man, awesome. I'm not talking about the invention, about your
Speaker 5: relationship to the invention.
Speaker 6: I'll bring it to my next workout.
Speaker 7: How gross is the fruit sitting in there?
Speaker 6: Grows fruit?
Speaker 5: Okay, but you can put it to make the drink
Speaker 5: in the blender and put the blender on a nice
Speaker 5: chest and it's the same.
Speaker 1: Guys, y'all don't understand the swig of a freshly bleach.
Speaker 6: It's bliss.
Speaker 1: Man, get his point and he can put it in
Speaker 1: a cooler and then fresh blood.
Speaker 5: Why would you want to do that in your truck?
Speaker 7: You got to bring it?
Speaker 5: Watch it. Okay, you're out of your mind. Okay, lunchbox
Speaker 5: speaking of it.
Speaker 7: Out of your mind. Amy has lost her mind?
Speaker 1: What did I do?
Speaker 6: This is now?
Speaker 8: Guy?
Speaker 7: She has full blown conversations with herself.
Speaker 1: Yes, I told you all, I've been having those. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I accidentally do it out loud and y'all hear it.
Speaker 7: She was doing a spot the other day, a commercial. Yeah,
Speaker 7: like a commercial, and then all of a sudden she
Speaker 7: messes up and she just starts talking to herself. Listen
Speaker 7: to this.
Speaker 5: You recorded her doing?
Speaker 1: Wait? No, how do y'all get this audio of me
Speaker 1: when I'm doing my own spot? Somebody is selling me out?
Speaker 7: No? No, no, there was no one in here. And I
Speaker 7: walked by the glassroom and it just as you can
Speaker 7: hear it in there over the speaker.
Speaker 5: So you so you recorded it?
Speaker 7: No, because she's recording the commercial and so, so.
Speaker 1: Then how did you get the audio on?
Speaker 7: Was it was? I was like hey whenever, whoever has
Speaker 7: that when they're done said.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's Kevin sold me out because Kevin. That's who
Speaker 1: I's in my audio to. I save it in Kevin's file.
Speaker 5: Okay, she's going crazy right now, Gray, would you hit it?
Speaker 1: I love doing that sort of stuff with my daughter.
Speaker 1: And back to that cozy situation. Did it say cozy fire?
Speaker 1: Did I say cozy fire? Or did I just say
Speaker 1: it in my head? I need to start over because
Speaker 1: I can't breathe. I'm not done, but I gotta work out. Man.
Speaker 1: I'm in doing much cardio. I'm trying to row. Have
Speaker 1: you ever rode? It's hard, like a rowing machine? Up
Speaker 1: my intensity.
Speaker 7: Okay, there's she's just talking to herself. That's weird.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 5: If there's somebody in here, like producing your spots that make.
Speaker 1: They're not they're not in here. But this is what
Speaker 1: I can explain. I figure when Kevin's getting the spots
Speaker 1: and he's putting them all together, I'm talking to him.
Speaker 5: I think he wants to hear you talk editing commercials.
Speaker 1: It's the future Kevin who's listening to those later, That's
Speaker 1: who I'm talking to.
Speaker 5: He's not listening to a podcast. He's doing one hundred
Speaker 5: commercials back there.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, somebody put a wet watch cloth on her head.
Speaker 5: My grandma always it's worked for me when I was
Speaker 5: a kid.
Speaker 1: You row so Kevin. You don't think Kevin likes.
Speaker 5: Slip No, No, I think he has a lot to do,
Speaker 5: and I don't think he wants to listen to like
Speaker 5: commentary while he's doing a hundred spots, you know, because
Speaker 5: he got all commercials from all of us.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was weird to hear.
Speaker 5: That was weird. A couple more Morgan update.
Speaker 1: Oh I got a bit by a tick.
Speaker 6: Oh no, lime disease.
Speaker 5: Okay, well that's a that's a what where is it?
Speaker 5: It's a hefty jump. It's a hefty jump. Most ticks
Speaker 5: aren't lime disease. You're gonna freak her out cause she's
Speaker 5: been dealing with a lot of health issues. Let's pumped
Speaker 5: the breaks.
Speaker 1: I'm already honestly, I did.
Speaker 3: I took it out with tweezers, and I did put
Speaker 3: it in a baggie and it's currently being frozen in
Speaker 3: my bad off.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know I've done this before, and I'd put it
Speaker 1: in the freezer and then I mailed it off, so
Speaker 1: I can't I tell you where to send it.
Speaker 5: I would say, Morgan, you're fine, but you can send
Speaker 5: it off. As someone who got by a lot of
Speaker 5: ticks growing up in the woods, most tics don't have
Speaker 5: lime disease. Now some do, and it really does mess
Speaker 5: you up. But I would say, the odds of you
Speaker 5: having lime disease from this tick are very, very very low.
Speaker 5: But Amy did this once and sent it off. So
Speaker 5: you send it off and we'll do the thing where
Speaker 5: you don't know the results we did on the air.
Speaker 1: Okay, we can do that.
Speaker 4: But also, guys, the head is still in my body.
Speaker 1: Oh, I get it out. You need to get that out.
Speaker 5: I tried.
Speaker 3: I tried to use a needle and get it out,
Speaker 3: and it was there was a lot happened.
Speaker 5: Like the fangs are still in your body.
Speaker 4: It was on my stomach like just right here, and
Speaker 4: I like looked down. I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 4: that's a tick.
Speaker 3: The legs were moving, and I pulled it out with
Speaker 3: tweezers because I tried all the little techniques of like
Speaker 3: getting it out and it wasn't coming out. So I
Speaker 3: pulled it out and then I looked down and I
Speaker 3: still see like a little brown.
Speaker 5: Spot amy and get in there. She got many splinters
Speaker 5: out of my feet over the years. It's not a splinter,
Speaker 5: but she can go in.
Speaker 7: So right now you have it in your stomach. Yeah,
Speaker 7: oh that is you are getting.
Speaker 5: No, No, you don't get.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It says, yeah, it's not too it doesn't seem too bad.
Speaker 1: But I just wouldn't feel comfortable with it in there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe you can help her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, tweezers.
Speaker 5: I'll go, I'll finally go.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: My therapist asked me how many time it's been late
Speaker 5: to work yet? Because my challenge was to be late
Speaker 5: to work. Remember, he was like, hey, you need to
Speaker 5: be late to work a couple of times just to
Speaker 5: like break your your habits, like break your your rigidity.
Speaker 5: And I did tell him none, Yeah you haven't.
Speaker 1: Been, so then what's what's your punishment?
Speaker 5: I have to wear truck from my neck in therapy.
Speaker 5: But that's that. That was the update. He's also given
Speaker 5: me a couple of other challenges too that are very
Speaker 5: very uncomfortable for me because I haven't been late to work.
Speaker 6: Ever. I think you're even getting here earlier now, which is.
Speaker 5: I do I slowly started get, yeah, you're doing this
Speaker 5: opposite of what you're therapy telling you. I know, I know,
Speaker 5: I know, but that that that's the update, is that
Speaker 5: I had to have that conversation. He checked in and goes, okay,
Speaker 5: because I go, we don't talk about every time. You
Speaker 5: say how many times you've been late to work not
Speaker 5: late for air, but late as my normal time, And
Speaker 5: I said zero. And he's like, how do you think
Speaker 5: you're going to get better if you're not actually doing
Speaker 5: things that make you uncomfortable? And I completely agree that part.
Speaker 5: It's really hard.
Speaker 6: I can show you, man, it's really.
Speaker 5: I know. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 5: Number two.
Speaker 3: I think we all feel like we are always honest
Speaker 3: on the show and share our true thoughts and feelings.
Speaker 4: Well, a show member came to the show.
Speaker 3: And said, no, I really need you guys to be
Speaker 3: honest with me about a particular subject. And it's kind
Speaker 3: of awkward and I feel also a little like I
Speaker 3: got yelled out for no reason.
Speaker 5: In the segment Number three. The segment might get awkward,
Speaker 5: it may not, but someone on the show has asked
Speaker 5: for one hundred percent pure honesty.
Speaker 1: Do not sugarcoated.
Speaker 5: Do not be safe with their feelings. Don't don't be
Speaker 5: precious about feelings. Just be honest. Okay, okay, all right,
Speaker 5: it's not me, it's.
Speaker 6: Eddie, and you're gonna be honest, right, guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just can't look at you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I won't.
Speaker 6: You don't have to look at me.
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 5: I think you're gonna need to Nope, No, I think
Speaker 5: you're gonna need Okay, Okay, Eddie, we're gonna be honest.
Speaker 5: Everybody commitment to be honest for y Yeah, okay, go ahead,
Speaker 5: no problem, and don't answer until I come to you. Okay,
Speaker 5: but Eddie, go ahead and talk about scenario.
Speaker 6: Okay, guys, I just want to ask you a question,
Speaker 6: am I fat?
Speaker 1: Stop?
Speaker 5: Okay? Why do you think.
Speaker 6: Because Morgan had to do these AI like, uh, I
Speaker 6: don't know, action figures or something. You take three pictures
Speaker 6: of yourself, You send it to AI. You say, make
Speaker 6: an action figure out of me, and when I got back,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna send it to you guys right now, the
Speaker 6: original one I got back.
Speaker 5: Oh, we didn't see the original no no, no.
Speaker 6: I had to go back and say make me skinnier
Speaker 6: because the original one made me fat?
Speaker 5: Oh I see you?
Speaker 6: Oh and so I'm thinking, like, is it me thinking
Speaker 6: I don't look like that? Because I don't think I
Speaker 6: look like that? Okay, So my question for you guys,
Speaker 6: and just so.
Speaker 5: You told her make you skinnier.
Speaker 6: I told Ai make me skinnier. Please?
Speaker 5: You told Morgan to make a No Ai, you did
Speaker 5: it yourself?
Speaker 6: Yes, okay, and AI made me skinnier. But that's the
Speaker 6: original picture that it's sent it we want to see.
Speaker 5: So I said, it's in that group text. There's a viral,
Speaker 5: it's a meme, a trend where it's like this is
Speaker 5: the action figure and it says producer already on air.
Speaker 5: Personality is picture of Eddie. There's a Dallas cowboy. He
Speaker 5: had about one hundred kids, a grill and a guitar,
Speaker 5: basically his life and what do I look like? So
Speaker 5: he wants to know the question is what do I
Speaker 5: look like? That your question has changed. The question was
Speaker 5: at first am I fat?
Speaker 6: Correct?
Speaker 5: Is that what you want to answer to?
Speaker 6: Well? Yes, the answer is the question is am I fat?
Speaker 6: Because A I think so I'm fat? So I want
Speaker 6: to know my fat.
Speaker 5: Okay, See here's the thing you know different people are
Speaker 5: going to have different read like Amy is going to
Speaker 5: be very sensitive to your feelings, and.
Speaker 1: I can I can answer honestly on this.
Speaker 5: Go ahead.
Speaker 1: I can even look at it heat, I can take it.
Speaker 1: Come on, No, you're not. I don't. I'm I don't
Speaker 1: like commenting on your body anymore?
Speaker 5: Why right?
Speaker 1: But I know? But if he's asking genuinely, no, you're not.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's offensive when people don't like, well, ask like
Speaker 6: am I fat? But like and you just tell him
Speaker 6: you're fat? It's not offensive when I'm asking you, guys,
Speaker 6: tell me right now, look at me in the face.
Speaker 6: Am I fat?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: And you're not?
Speaker 5: Lunchbox Eddie.
Speaker 7: Unfortunately, you are fat in this figurine. And I think
Speaker 7: maybe you uploaded some fat photos because you had to
Speaker 7: upload three photos, so maybe you did old fat photos
Speaker 7: and that's how they thought you were fat.
Speaker 6: No, I took the photos of that moment and just sent.
Speaker 7: Them, Oh, because I don't think you're fat.
Speaker 5: What do you think? He is?
Speaker 7: Plum chubby?
Speaker 5: So you would say fat chubby?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: How do you feel about being chubby?
Speaker 6: I don't like it chubby. I feel like I don't
Speaker 6: feel like I'm chubby. I feel like I'm I.
Speaker 5: Would say this guy in the picture's chubby.
Speaker 7: No, I gos fat?
Speaker 6: You think?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 6: Okay, that's a fat dude.
Speaker 5: A I made me fat, Morgan, No, Eddie.
Speaker 4: I don't think you're fat, but I do think you
Speaker 4: have a dad bought.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you're a dad.
Speaker 6: That's rude.
Speaker 1: You're a dad. That's a good thing.
Speaker 5: How you strong? How do you see yourself he works out? Yeah, like,
Speaker 5: how do you see yourself?
Speaker 6: Fit? With maybe a little bit of fluff, but overall fit.
Speaker 1: Yes, I would agree with that. He's overall fit.
Speaker 7: We didn't say you were unfit. You can be chubby
Speaker 7: and be fit.
Speaker 5: I would say you look strong. I don't know that
Speaker 5: I would use fit. Yeah, I wouldn't say fit, but
Speaker 5: I would say strong. And yeah, who cares? You got
Speaker 5: a little belly?
Speaker 6: That thing exactly? So does AI exaggerate what it sees like?
Speaker 6: Am I fit with a belly?
Speaker 5: I think you're strong. I don't think you're fit. I
Speaker 5: think you're strong. I think you're strong with I think
Speaker 5: you're strong with a belly.
Speaker 6: Strong with a belly. See, because like you like strong
Speaker 6: like doesn't mean like, I don't know, like you can
Speaker 6: be kind of bigger and look strong like Babe Ruth
Speaker 6: looked kind of strong.
Speaker 5: But it looks so I think our general consensus is
Speaker 5: you're not fat, but you're probably not as skinny as
Speaker 5: you think you are.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, but.
Speaker 7: That all.
Speaker 5: That was fine?
Speaker 6: And then and then Morgan called me said, I had
Speaker 6: a dad.
Speaker 4: Boss, you have You've referred to yourself as having a dad.
Speaker 5: I think you have a strong dad body.
Speaker 6: What does that mean? What does that mean?
Speaker 5: You're the most sensitive and we appreciate that for you
Speaker 5: and who you are, and you know you're very sensitive
Speaker 5: to people's bodies and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this whole thing is stupid.
Speaker 5: But this is he. He's the one that brought it.
Speaker 6: I want to know.
Speaker 5: He's the one that was like, can I please get
Speaker 5: full honesty.
Speaker 6: Because I don't want to live my life thinking I
Speaker 6: look like something? And then really I look like that.
Speaker 5: I don't think you look like that, but I don't
Speaker 5: also think you look like what you think you look like.
Speaker 5: I guess somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 1: None of us look like the AI thing, like, nobody
Speaker 1: really looks like. All of our figurines look a little different.
Speaker 5: Why didn't send mine back to be redone?
Speaker 6: Yours didn't come back fat, Yours came back skinny.
Speaker 5: My head looks stupid. I like Stephen Colbert on drugs. Yeah,
Speaker 5: but I didn't send it back.
Speaker 6: I wasn't worried about the face like or the head whatever.
Speaker 6: But when it came back, look maybe me looking like
Speaker 6: a lumpapa.
Speaker 5: So what do you take from this conversation? We're all
Speaker 5: honest with you. What did you learn here?
Speaker 6: I think Amy is being very very nice. She said
Speaker 6: the nicest thing about me. But I think she's being sweet.
Speaker 5: Don't want her my sweet person person?
Speaker 6: Does that? You were pretty honest with me.
Speaker 5: I think you're strong strong, you have back muscles, are strong.
Speaker 6: I like that.
Speaker 5: I think you have you still have a little belly.
Speaker 6: Yeah. And then Lunchbox. I can't really take what he
Speaker 6: says because he's just, you know, saying things that make
Speaker 6: me mad. Morgan and Morgan's hurt. Morgan's hurt me a
Speaker 6: little bit.
Speaker 1: You called yourself that so many times.
Speaker 5: So I don't know, dude, do you feel growth from
Speaker 5: this growth?
Speaker 1: Ware?
Speaker 6: I feel like I need to look at myself more
Speaker 6: of an understanding. I'm fatter than I thought I was.
Speaker 5: You're not fat, you're not fat.
Speaker 6: You're gonna make me cry.
Speaker 1: I'm also worried that Eddie sent his fat figurine to
Speaker 1: my old number.
Speaker 6: Did you?
Speaker 5: Oh no, Amy's old numbers got sent to the and
Speaker 5: it's gotten all my information on.
Speaker 1: Whoever has my old phone number is a minor and
Speaker 1: they have thrown to call the police.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, they don't know you asked them and
Speaker 5: I look like that right, So send that number of
Speaker 5: picture of you shirtless and say.
Speaker 2: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number.
Speaker 3: Two Counting Crow stop by our studio, which, if you've
Speaker 3: been the listener for a long time, or maybe you haven't,
Speaker 3: this is one of Bobby's favorite bands, so he totally
Speaker 3: geeked out. He even had a dedication to them in
Speaker 3: his first book, So Huge Fans.
Speaker 4: Is a cool moment.
Speaker 3: And beyond having a really fun interview and hearing about
Speaker 3: some of the moments in their career, they also did
Speaker 3: a performance which you can go check out on our
Speaker 3: YouTube page at Bobby Bone Show and while you're there,
Speaker 3: subscribe do it for Eddie myself in Lunchbox. We make
Speaker 3: some money if we hit five hundred thousand subscribers, which
Speaker 3: could be really hard.
Speaker 4: But we're trying it.
Speaker 5: Number two on the Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 1: Now Adam Durrett's of Counting Crows.
Speaker 9: Adam, good to see you again, buddy. Hey, no, I
Speaker 9: realized there's things going on in the head that I'm
Speaker 9: missing out on. It was literally a voice just going
Speaker 9: and now Adam Durret's counting Crows.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you really wanted to hear that?
Speaker 6: Did sound cool?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Intro seven out of ten?
Speaker 9: All right, okay, it's cool as long as I got
Speaker 9: the idea. Now I feel like I've hit the stage.
Speaker 9: There's been a yeah I'm here here? Do you guys
Speaker 9: have an intro?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 5: When you come out?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 9: Why do you guys come out? We usually play this
Speaker 9: song it lately it's been stand By. It's lying the
Speaker 9: family stone, lights go down, stand comes on. We come
Speaker 9: on about midway through the song.
Speaker 5: So the song is playing like over the top and
Speaker 5: you guys walk out.
Speaker 6: On the hall.
Speaker 5: It comes out when you do a set list? How
Speaker 5: often does it change during a tour?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 6: Every night?
Speaker 5: Is that part of your you know, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Creative nightly task is to recreate the set list?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Im or who he was here a second ago? He
Speaker 9: and I do it after dinner sometime. Does that depend
Speaker 9: on the mood that you're in. Yeah, yeah, just sort
Speaker 9: of what do you want to play tonight? That way,
Speaker 9: we're playing stuff we want to play.
Speaker 5: Do you ever do want of you ever go hey,
Speaker 5: maybe we haven't played this song in a while, we
Speaker 5: throw this in. Is there ever like a battle?
Speaker 9: No, it's usually like that, you know, somebody wants it's
Speaker 9: I mean, anybody in the band can say, hey, you know,
Speaker 9: I've been really dying to play this, and if we
Speaker 9: you know, if it's if we've been playing it, we
Speaker 9: just stick in the set list. If we haven't been,
Speaker 9: we'll work at soundcheck and then put it in the
Speaker 9: set list. Sometimes we need a few days to work
Speaker 9: on something if we haven't played it for a decade
Speaker 9: or something.
Speaker 5: You know, Oh, you'll bring old songs back sometimes, yeah.
Speaker 9: Because people like you know, we have so many records
Speaker 9: at this point and so many songs, and people like
Speaker 9: get to where they're dying to hear something, or someone's
Speaker 9: girlfriend is pretty insistent about something. My girlfriend really wanted
Speaker 9: us to play this song Butterfly and Orver for a
Speaker 9: long time, and it was a song even when it
Speaker 9: was released, we only played it once or twice. One
Speaker 9: of my friends checked on the whatever the archive, we
Speaker 9: only played it once or twice, and we worked on
Speaker 9: it and put it in the set, and now it's
Speaker 9: been like every night for a few years. That everybody
Speaker 9: loved it so much that it's kind of stuck in there.
Speaker 9: But yeah, you know, there's things you haven't played in
Speaker 9: a long time.
Speaker 5: Are there any songs that you feel you have to
Speaker 5: play every night? Is there one song that stays in
Speaker 5: the thread the whole time? A long December does nothing else?
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't feel like there's anything I have
Speaker 5: to play every night, because sometimes you just get tired
Speaker 5: of it. There anything there is, you get tired of it,
Speaker 5: except for some reason, for me, A Long December, I
Speaker 5: never get tired of it. There's never been a night
Speaker 5: where I didn't want to play it. I don't know
Speaker 5: why that is. I have no idea, but I'm always
Speaker 5: kind of excited to play it. Like an arrangement change
Speaker 5: up on that song, like playing it by yourself at
Speaker 5: a piano or the full band. Does that ever change
Speaker 5: even though the thread as you play that song every night.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, we'll change little details of it. There's
Speaker 9: little like breakdowns that go into it. For the last
Speaker 9: couple year and a half, I started. I just we
Speaker 9: went to see Taylor Swift and it was really great
Speaker 9: and I really loved that song the one, and so
Speaker 9: I started like backstage working on a version of it
Speaker 9: by myself, and then I just walked down stage one
Speaker 9: night and played it and let it right into A
Speaker 9: Long December. So it the end of that song built
Speaker 9: and became the intro to A Long December. And I've
Speaker 9: been doing it that way for about a year now
Speaker 9: and I'm really loving it. I don't know, It's such
Speaker 9: a great song and it was a real cool surprise
Speaker 9: to then crash it into a Long December and start
Speaker 9: that song from there. So I've been doing it that way,
Speaker 9: but I've done that with different songs. I remember doing
Speaker 9: it with Live Forever, that Oasis song. We were touring
Speaker 9: Anyone once and I went, you know, and figured out
Speaker 9: how to play Love Forever and then just surprised everybody
Speaker 9: on stages at one.
Speaker 5: Night with cell phones too. It's got to be different
Speaker 5: because if you're gonna go do Taylor, the one that's
Speaker 5: either gonna go super viral or it's not it's gonna
Speaker 5: be kind of weird.
Speaker 9: Well, it was kind of cool because at some point
Speaker 9: midway through the first verse, I alway hear the scream
Speaker 9: from a bunch of girls like it happens, because it's
Speaker 9: not immediately recognizable as that song, because I'm playing it
Speaker 9: pretty differently, kind of inside out. But at some point,
Speaker 9: like two thirds of the way through the third verse
Speaker 9: or the first verse, there's just a scream from a
Speaker 9: bunch of girls who realize what's going on, and then
Speaker 9: I don't know where they're hitting their mom going no,
Speaker 9: you don't understand, mom.
Speaker 5: How has content creation been for you with music? Because
Speaker 5: that's different for anybody that was, you know, playing the
Speaker 5: nineties and two thousands. I have friends now that are
Speaker 5: struggling with man, I have to make content now to
Speaker 5: go with my music. How has that been for you
Speaker 5: and you guys, Well, it's kind of a I was
Speaker 5: really enthusiastic about social media when it first started. I
Speaker 5: was on the message boards at AOL, you know, in
Speaker 5: ninety six when I realized, oh, here's a way to
Speaker 5: talk directly to fans. I don't have to go through
Speaker 5: the press or something. And then when Twitter came out.
Speaker 5: I really jumped on that.
Speaker 9: The problem is you're not always at the forefront of something,
Speaker 9: Like you're patting yourself on the back for being on
Speaker 9: the message boards, you know, ten years before social media,
Speaker 9: and then you're patting yourself on the back for building
Speaker 9: up Twitter and you don't realize that Instagram is the
Speaker 9: next thing, or you don't or you finally get on
Speaker 9: hold of that. And you know, as you're older, you're
Speaker 9: not in touch with the same stuff that kids are,
Speaker 9: and so you don't realize that TikTok is really important.
Speaker 9: You know that it's just inevitable that you fall behind
Speaker 9: because you're not keyed into the same you know, zeitgeist
Speaker 9: as kids are. But yeah, you just kind of adjust,
Speaker 9: you try to. I mean, I think at this point
Speaker 9: in my life, I'm always a little behind, which is okay.
Speaker 5: It's you know, it's kind of fun to catch up.
Speaker 5: Sometimes some of my friends are like, man, I hate
Speaker 5: singing into a phone like that. They really have struggle
Speaker 5: with like singing in their songs into a phone to
Speaker 5: put it on TikTok? Was that? Ever? When you shot content,
Speaker 5: do you shoot it wider? Because you can shoot a
Speaker 5: video ish style or where it doesn't feel as ridiculous, because
Speaker 5: it does feel kind of weird to put your phone
Speaker 5: up in sing right into it. How are you guys
Speaker 5: doing that?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 9: Early on, I mean, I don't mind singing into my
Speaker 9: phone because I was doing it for voice memos. It
Speaker 9: was like, Wow, I got a thing I can record,
Speaker 9: I work on new songs. I can record and write them.
Speaker 9: That seemed like the coolest thing in the world to me.
Speaker 9: I didn't need a recording studio. I have my phone.
Speaker 9: And then I started doing like it was a little
Speaker 9: while to learn how to do all the stuff and
Speaker 9: learn to edit. You know, I had to go learn
Speaker 9: how to edit stuff, get the editing apps. And I
Speaker 9: was making cooking videos because I was bored during the pandemic,
Speaker 9: so I was making I was, you know, teaching kind
Speaker 9: of cooking lessons on my Instagram.
Speaker 5: And then you know, I watch a lot of it.
Speaker 9: I see people doing these clips of songs and how
Speaker 9: you only have to do a whole song, but clips
Speaker 9: of songs are really cool and I kind of like
Speaker 9: watching them. So, you know, I wised up to doing that,
Speaker 9: but it took me till this record to wise up
Speaker 9: to doing that. It's not hard to do them though,
Speaker 9: sometimes doing my phone. Sometimes we have a videographer who
Speaker 9: works with us. He'll come over and just film me
Speaker 9: doing stuff, or he filmed when we were making the record.
Speaker 9: He was there with cameras. So you know, we've been
Speaker 9: using clips of all of us from in the studio
Speaker 9: that we filmed. And then I had them come over
Speaker 9: and shoot a bunch of clips of me just doing
Speaker 9: the vocals because they were a little bit it wasn't
Speaker 9: as immediate the clips from the side away from the
Speaker 9: mic in the studio, so I wanted to cut a
Speaker 9: bunch of clips of just my face doing stuff. I
Speaker 9: called them up and said, I want to make videos
Speaker 9: out of these, but I don't want to just use
Speaker 9: the studio footage. I want to shoot stuff in front
Speaker 9: of a screen. And so we did that and we've
Speaker 9: been putting those up for Spaceman and now for Under
Speaker 9: the Aurora.
Speaker 5: You mentioned voice notes, So what were you using before
Speaker 5: voice notes? Was it just a pad of paper all
Speaker 5: that was a notebook all the time. Well, I mean
Speaker 5: I always use these notebooks, but I also had there
Speaker 5: was an app. It was it was just called like recorder,
Speaker 5: but it was just an app that had really good
Speaker 5: compression on it that you just pushed record so I
Speaker 5: could use it on my computer back then, and it
Speaker 5: was a really great It was a better app than
Speaker 5: any I've found since then. It just sort of did
Speaker 5: all for You had a great compression, a great Q
Speaker 5: on it, and it was boneheaded. You just pushed record
Speaker 5: and play and it did great recordings. I did a
Speaker 5: whole record with that app. At one point just called
Speaker 5: all my Bloody Valentine's. It was like Valentine's the week
Speaker 5: before Valentine's Day ten years ago or whenever it was,
Speaker 5: and I just said, I'm gonna record a song. I'm
Speaker 5: gonna learn to cover a day and record a song
Speaker 5: a day for the next week leading up to Valentine's Day.
Speaker 5: And I just did seven songs and ended up putting
Speaker 5: it out and giving it away to all our fans.
Speaker 5: Do you have any of your original handwritten lyrics to
Speaker 5: any of the old any of the old songs?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've got all these lyric books. Yeah, to just
Speaker 9: live somewhere in your house. Yeah, there's like piles of them.
Speaker 9: I've always written in these books, so I have these
Speaker 9: little ones that they are like spiral binders that are
Speaker 9: about that big. They're like for school, you know notebooks.
Speaker 9: I used them when I was in college too. I
Speaker 9: don't do it as much anymore. I find the notes
Speaker 9: function in my phone is really great because I just
Speaker 9: lay around. Also, we've all stopped writing, yeah, so writing's
Speaker 9: not as like natural as it was. So you know,
Speaker 9: with my phone, I can walk around when I'm working
Speaker 9: on a song, can just walk around huming stuff to
Speaker 9: myself and I just you know, type it into the notes.
Speaker 9: I have a lot of lyrics in my notes, but
Speaker 9: I still use the notebook for stuff too.
Speaker 5: We were talking a little bit ago about how gen
Speaker 5: Z doesn't know has never written a handwritten letter, and
Speaker 5: my answer to that was, well, you know, our parents
Speaker 5: never churned butter, and I'm sure their generation ahead of
Speaker 5: them was like, I can't believe the kids now. I
Speaker 5: don't churn butter. So there are certain skills that you
Speaker 5: don't have to have, you know, as time goes by.
Speaker 5: I just feel though, if I use a like GPS,
Speaker 5: I know how to get nowhere because I GPS everywhere.
Speaker 5: And if I write everything down onto my phone, like
Speaker 5: I write a bunch of joke Ida and on my
Speaker 5: phone constantly, but I don't remember stuff as well. If
Speaker 5: I'm putting it in digitally, does your mind remember the
Speaker 5: same digitally as it as handwritten?
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 9: I mean I realized last night. I was I can't
Speaker 9: remember what I was out to dinner last night, and
Speaker 9: my girlfriend was giving her phone number to somebody, like
Speaker 9: one of our friends. And I suddenly realized, Oh, that's
Speaker 9: not cool. You don't know her number. I mean I knew,
Speaker 9: I don't know. I know, like seven or eight number,
Speaker 9: I wouldn't she was saying it. I was in my
Speaker 9: head going, oh, and then the last two numbers I
Speaker 9: had wrong. I'm like, Wow, you don't know your girlfriend's
Speaker 9: phone number.
Speaker 5: I would be in trouble if I were being held hostage.
Speaker 5: I know nobody's phone number unless it was from Like
Speaker 5: I know my friend Evan's dad's number from when I
Speaker 5: was like twelve, Like I can remember that one, but
Speaker 5: I don't know anybody's phone number. Now. Being held hostage
Speaker 5: comes with a lot of other problems anyways, But first
Speaker 5: I need to call somebody. They're like, they're like, we
Speaker 5: demand ransom, and I'm like, I don't know how to
Speaker 5: get a hold of anybody.
Speaker 9: And then that's kind of the cops give you one call.
Speaker 9: I don't know about hostages. Sometimes they do, but what
Speaker 9: if they just don't like you.
Speaker 5: Then they will not want to ransom. And you're not hostage,
Speaker 5: you're just dead. Yeah, then you're just dead.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's there's a lot of problems of the hostage
Speaker 9: situation above and be on the phones. But I get
Speaker 9: your point.
Speaker 5: Did you watch Why Lotus last night?
Speaker 6: But I did? I did?
Speaker 5: You did?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 5: Okay, no, I'm not done yet. Okay, then I was
Speaker 5: a little disappointed. But we're not giving any answers, not
Speaker 5: saying anything, but a lot of people so I watched
Speaker 5: the whole thing, right, My wife had already watched all
Speaker 5: of it, and I just wanted to watch the finale
Speaker 5: with her. So I did like seven episodes this past
Speaker 5: weekend just to totally catch up. And I was told
Speaker 5: by a lot of people season three was pretty slow.
Speaker 5: I felt season three, the people in it, and again
Speaker 5: no spoilers, not to be as gross as seasons one
Speaker 5: and two, just generally, you know.
Speaker 6: It's the weird thing.
Speaker 9: Season one had like six episodes and season two had seven,
Speaker 9: and season three had eight, and I thought six would
Speaker 9: have been great for all of them. They'd just be
Speaker 9: He's a really, really, really good writer, and somehow expanding
Speaker 9: it just kind of I don't want to. It's such
Speaker 9: a good show. I had never watched it, and then
Speaker 9: this year I never. My girlfriend talked me into watching
Speaker 9: it and we watched the first season like.
Speaker 5: Binged it, second season binged it. Third season got through
Speaker 5: two episodes and I was like what, and she said, Oh, no,
Speaker 5: that's that's where we're up to right now. Why are
Speaker 5: we watching it?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 9: I like to binge everything, you know, and she so,
Speaker 9: then I've been doing it every week. I'm not sure
Speaker 9: whether it's storting how it feels to me because I
Speaker 9: have to wait for it.
Speaker 6: It felt really padded.
Speaker 5: I did all binge all three seasons, and I finally
Speaker 5: finished right before the finale. So my feeling was my yeah,
Speaker 5: season three people didn't feel as gross feltretty good about it.
Speaker 5: That's cool, but there was I never felt the need
Speaker 5: to get back to it, but I did enjoy it
Speaker 5: while it was on. It was one of those weird,
Speaker 5: slow burned shows for me.
Speaker 6: I love the other seasons.
Speaker 9: I just like I kind of felt like also, I
Speaker 9: felt there's a lot of padding this season. But I
Speaker 9: was also thinking, well, I bet the ending it will
Speaker 9: be great, you know there, because we're gonna get there finally.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well, don't worrybody, We're not gonna saynything about it. We're
Speaker 5: not gonna say it. No, no, no spoiling there. What
Speaker 5: else do you guys watch?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 9: Like, did you watch Severance? Watch the first season and
Speaker 9: I thought that was incredible.
Speaker 5: One of my favorite seasons ever of any show. And
Speaker 5: we're gonna I think we're gonna watch the second season
Speaker 5: after this.
Speaker 6: We just watched is it Black Doves?
Speaker 1: That?
Speaker 6: Kieran also that.
Speaker 5: Was great, freaking awesome. I'd be a Black Dove. I'd
Speaker 5: be good at that. Yeah you would, Yeah, I mean
Speaker 5: as long as you're not held hottage. Yeah yeah, well
Speaker 5: I didn't know a phone number if I'm held hostage.
Speaker 5: How does writing songs now compare to writing songs twenty
Speaker 5: years ago? You know, we talked about the difference in
Speaker 5: digitally or writing it with a hand, But like, do
Speaker 5: you feel the need and do you schedule writing now
Speaker 5: or can you only just go when you feel like it?
Speaker 6: I just write when I feel.
Speaker 9: I don't write a lot as soon as I started
Speaker 9: touring and really being in this band, I stopped writing
Speaker 9: all the time. I wrote every day for you know,
Speaker 9: ten years before that when I started writing songs, But
Speaker 9: then I can't really write on tour because I don't
Speaker 9: play guitar. I played piano and poorly that and then
Speaker 9: I so I wouldn't write for like a year and
Speaker 9: a half because we'd be on tour. So I tend
Speaker 9: to Ever since then, I've tended to just kind of
Speaker 9: not write for a year or two and then write
Speaker 9: with ten songs whatever the record is, and sometimes there's
Speaker 9: an extra song or two, but not many. I don't
Speaker 9: write a lot of extras. So it was different this
Speaker 9: time because I I wrote all I just think the
Speaker 9: I've been sort of changing some of the ways I write,
Speaker 9: and sort of my the music I was writing was
Speaker 9: a little more ambitious than my ability to play it,
Speaker 9: and so I couldn't really tell how the songs were.
Speaker 9: I finally I sat on them for a couple of
Speaker 9: years because I hadn't have a lot of confidence in them,
Speaker 9: and then I called the guys up and said, I wrote,
Speaker 9: we'd love for me to z from this the first
Speaker 9: song on the record, and I knew I loved it,
Speaker 9: and I thought, I got to figure out what I'm
Speaker 9: doing with.
Speaker 5: The rest of the songs.
Speaker 9: And I called, you know, Immer and a couple of
Speaker 9: other guys are bass player and drummer, and said, just
Speaker 9: I need everybody to come to my house for a week.
Speaker 9: I just need to play this stuff with you. I
Speaker 9: need to hear how it is with the band and
Speaker 9: then I'll know. And when as soon as we started
Speaker 9: playing it, I was like, oh, wow, this is I
Speaker 9: love this stuff, but this is the first time. A
Speaker 9: lot of it was in my head, like I couldn't
Speaker 9: really play it, but I knew it. I knew how
Speaker 9: it was supposed to go, had the chords. I just
Speaker 9: my ability to play piano. I couldn't do these songs.
Speaker 9: And so I was carrying around in my head until
Speaker 9: I heard them play it. I describe what I wanted
Speaker 9: and it was great, and I was really excited, but
Speaker 9: that that hadn't really happened.
Speaker 5: Before the with Love from A to Z Whenever, because
Speaker 5: I've listened whenever. The first half came out and it
Speaker 5: was all one track. Loved that thought it was super cool,
Speaker 5: and then I guess then it split up into songs later,
Speaker 5: I will shout out the name Bobby uh two references
Speaker 5: on this record.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I know it was very inspired by you know,
Speaker 9: the last time we were hanging out.
Speaker 5: Thank you very much. Well Bobby and the Right Kings.
Speaker 5: I think was already exist existent when we hung out
Speaker 5: last time, but this one. But I knew we were
Speaker 5: gonna hang out yea, yeah, yeah, I knew it was
Speaker 5: gonna happen. Spaceman of Tulsa. I get a shout out
Speaker 5: as well, you're back, Yes, I'm back baby.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So when you do new records, how how many these
Speaker 5: songs do you put on a set list tonight? You
Speaker 5: have so many songs to kind of jump between.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I mean the Suite. I really only liked playing the
Speaker 9: Suite altogether. The guys that tried to get me to
Speaker 9: like just play single songs, but I really like it.
Speaker 6: All is one.
Speaker 9: So that's a chunk if you're gonna play that, I mean,
Speaker 9: that's twenty minutes of the show right there.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I guess it depends on the night. We'll start doing
Speaker 9: it and you stick them in. I don't know, it's weird,
Speaker 9: you know, like we're you want to play your whole
Speaker 9: new record. But sometimes there was a time we could
Speaker 9: do that when everyone was buying all the records and
Speaker 9: everybody knew all the songs. So maybe if Spaceman and
Speaker 9: Telsa blows up to the roof or under the Aurora does,
Speaker 9: or one of them does, we can just play the
Speaker 9: whole record for people.
Speaker 5: What's the song that you hear out randomly the most
Speaker 5: of ours?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I suppose it's probably mister Jones. I hear Long
Speaker 9: December a lot.
Speaker 6: Especially.
Speaker 9: It's become kind of a Christmas standard, Like every like
Speaker 9: holiday season, it seems like everybody's covering it, and it
Speaker 9: shows up like on TikTok and on Instagram, you know,
Speaker 9: people playing it.
Speaker 6: This year, m J.
Speaker 9: Linderman was doing a version right around Christmas, and Gracie
Speaker 9: Abrams sang it. I saw that benefit for the fires.
Speaker 5: It was awesome. What do you think about that?
Speaker 6: That was cool?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I always think it's cool.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I think our songs are kind of weird sometimes that
Speaker 9: you know, my phrasing's a little difficult.
Speaker 5: I don't, I don't.
Speaker 9: I don't hear a lot of people covering us, except
Speaker 9: in bars. Sometimes you know where you don't necessarily want
Speaker 9: to hear it as much.
Speaker 5: But have you in a bar and heart someone covering you? Yeah?
Speaker 5: And what someimes? It's really good that I heard a
Speaker 5: version of a round here a while ago.
Speaker 9: That was like, wow, that that was really good, actually suppressed.
Speaker 5: Do you tell them it's you?
Speaker 9: Oh no, no, well I used to have it used
Speaker 9: to be obvious it was me before I shaped off
Speaker 9: the dreads like it was, there was no question it
Speaker 9: was me.
Speaker 6: Then.
Speaker 9: I think I'm a little more anonymous now. I think
Speaker 9: I'm a lot more anonymous now.
Speaker 5: Was that a big decision to cut off the dreads?
Speaker 6: Not really.
Speaker 9: I felt it wasn't a big decision to me. I
Speaker 9: just felt like I was excited. I mean, it wasn't
Speaker 9: really that. I just kind of did it on a whim,
Speaker 9: you know, like, uh, but I think it was a
Speaker 9: big decision for a lot of other people somehow.
Speaker 6: And I get asked about it a lot.
Speaker 5: One of my neighbors lives a few houses down is
Speaker 5: Tibow and Burnett. Oh really yeah, and he was that
Speaker 5: he was over a few weeks ago. We were talking
Speaker 5: about August and everything after and the wallflowers. Uh what
Speaker 5: was working with him like as a producer. That's a
Speaker 5: long time ago.
Speaker 6: I mean it was cool.
Speaker 9: He's really good. He's got you know, there's a lot
Speaker 9: of producers that just have like a sound like they've
Speaker 9: got a studio trick that they do and that's what
Speaker 9: they their records sound like, t bones, not really quantifiable
Speaker 9: like that. He he helps you figure out who you
Speaker 9: are and who you want to be on a record.
Speaker 9: I think he's really It's why he's worked with a
Speaker 9: lot of bands on their first records. It made a
Speaker 9: lot of really good first records with bands, because I
Speaker 9: think he really helps you define yourself. He's got a
Speaker 9: thing that, you know, an understanding of music that not
Speaker 9: everybody has. He's really really good at that.
Speaker 5: He brought the coolest friend over, which is Ringo Star.
Speaker 5: They came over together. That's pretty that's a strong friend
Speaker 5: or guest. Yeah, that's that's a strong friend. Who was
Speaker 5: responsible for putting you as background vocals of sixth Avenue Heartache.
Speaker 9: Well, you know, the Wallflowers had made their first album
Speaker 9: on Version and it's a really good record, but it
Speaker 9: didn't really make much of an impression. It's it's it's
Speaker 9: not it didn't really sum up who they were. And
Speaker 9: Jake and I were friends. I was bartending at the
Speaker 9: Viper Room and he was there a lot, and we
Speaker 9: would talk about, you know, what we were doing. And
Speaker 9: he asked me at one point, I think if I
Speaker 9: had any advice about that, and I said, well, you know,
Speaker 9: t Bone is really good. What I just told you
Speaker 9: is like helping you define yourself. And I felt like
Speaker 9: that's kind of what that record needed. That he's a
Speaker 9: real unique guy and a unique songwriter and singer, and
Speaker 9: that didn't get brought out as much on that first record,
Speaker 9: and so I suggested t Bone. And you know, a
Speaker 9: few months later, I was at home. I lived in
Speaker 9: Laurel Canyon then, and I got a phone call from
Speaker 9: either t Bone or Andy Slater, who was Jake's manager,
Speaker 9: and they're like, we have we're working on this song
Speaker 9: and it's just not singing yet, you know, do you
Speaker 9: want to come down and singing? I was like, which song?
Speaker 9: He said, six ave new Hardech. I said, I don't
Speaker 9: really know that one, because I knew a lot of
Speaker 9: the Jake songs that he was working on. And he said, well,
Speaker 9: will you just come down the hill? And so I
Speaker 9: went down and had a beer and listened to it,
Speaker 9: and then had a beer and sang it a couple
Speaker 9: times and left. I mean it just felt great. I
Speaker 9: mean it was like that. They just felt like we
Speaker 9: figured out exactly that that was just what that song needed.
Speaker 9: It was a great song. It just needed something to
Speaker 9: pick up the chorus, and it just felt great right away.
Speaker 9: I think I only sang it once or twice, and
Speaker 9: then I went back home and it turned out great.
Speaker 5: How long until you actually hear it.
Speaker 9: I think they sent me a copy like the next
Speaker 9: day I got it, but I heard it right then
Speaker 9: and we went into the controller matter.
Speaker 5: I sang it.
Speaker 6: It sounded great.
Speaker 9: I mean, that's like he's got Mike Campbell from the
Speaker 9: Heartbreakers playing the guitars on that song. It's a really
Speaker 9: good band. I think Ben montangees on that one too,
Speaker 9: from the Heartbreakers. I don't know about that, but yeah,
Speaker 9: it just felt great. I knew it was great right away.
Speaker 9: It just felt really like sometimes you just figure out
Speaker 9: the right thing to sing.
Speaker 6: It makes it makes it work.
Speaker 5: SNL just did their fifty years You guys performance on SNL.
Speaker 6: One of them.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure how any of you did just popped
Speaker 5: up on my TikTok the other day. This guy named
Speaker 5: Huggy posts all the music performances on TikTok. What do
Speaker 5: you remember from SNL? It was a rough week. It
Speaker 5: had a really hard time we had.
Speaker 6: We had.
Speaker 9: Said no for a long time when they asked us,
Speaker 9: because we were just sort of like, we wanted to
Speaker 9: play around here at Mister Jones. We wanted to play
Speaker 9: round here first. We didn't want to edit the songs
Speaker 9: we had. Both Lettermen and SNL were asking us to
Speaker 9: be on, and we just were really determined to do
Speaker 9: it the right way. It was going to be our
Speaker 9: first appearance ever on television.
Speaker 5: They wanted you to edit it for time.
Speaker 9: Yeah, they wanted both have metited. They wanted Mister Jones first.
Speaker 9: I really wanted to play round here first. I didn't
Speaker 9: want to edit the songs, and so we kind of
Speaker 9: negotiated with both shows for the longest time until SNL agreed, okay, yeah,
Speaker 9: you can, you can play them the way you want
Speaker 9: to and you can play around here first. And then
Speaker 9: we got there that week and they were like, oh,
Speaker 9: by the way, we changed our mind, and I was
Speaker 9: like no, and they said, yeah, I know, we're going
Speaker 9: to have to do it this way, and I said, no,
Speaker 9: we're doing it this way. And it's okay, we'll leave,
Speaker 9: but we're not doing that. And it was just a
Speaker 9: difficult week, fighting with them all week, and then it
Speaker 9: was great.
Speaker 6: We played great. It made our career.
Speaker 9: I'll say that it made our career because we weren't
Speaker 9: even in the top two hundred and that record jumped
Speaker 9: forty spots a week for five weeks after we played
Speaker 9: Saturday Night Live and until we were at number two
Speaker 9: for the next two years. I mean, it made our career.
Speaker 5: What'd you play first? Round Here?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it was great. It was It was
Speaker 9: perfect because like mister Jones is a great song, it
Speaker 9: really is. But there's a lot of songs like mister
Speaker 9: Jones that are just catchy, you know, kind of rock tunes.
Speaker 9: But round Here is unique, you know, and I think
Speaker 9: it just like this is who we are. It's not
Speaker 9: what you've been hearing before. And it completely made our career.
Speaker 9: We were not even in the top two hundred before
Speaker 9: we played SNL and you know, a month later we
Speaker 9: were at number ten and then number two or something
Speaker 9: like that, and you know, but it was a difficult week.
Speaker 9: I went there once. My friend was Ian McKellen's agent,
Speaker 9: and when like all the Lord of the Ring movies
Speaker 9: are coming out, he hosted and there was this one
Speaker 9: producer who kept getting sent to do all the talking
Speaker 9: to us. You know. I was in the green room
Speaker 9: because they wanted me to come. I had never been
Speaker 9: back since then, so this is like eight years later.
Speaker 9: And I saw this guy walk by in the hallway
Speaker 9: and then he came back and he's like, whoa, I
Speaker 9: never thought i'd see you again.
Speaker 5: That's going on.
Speaker 9: And I was like, uh, nothing, just my friend represents
Speaker 9: Ian and he's like, oh cool, well, you know, no
Speaker 9: hard feelings. I was like, no, that's fine, man, all right,
Speaker 9: do you want to get high? I was like no,
Speaker 9: that's cool, right, okay, cool, see you later.
Speaker 6: It was weird.
Speaker 5: I was like they'd look on his face that he's like, wow, I.
Speaker 6: Never thought i'd see you again.
Speaker 5: That's funny. Yeah. The record, so it's the completion of
Speaker 5: the twenty twenty one right, So that's what it seems
Speaker 5: like to me. So it's the rest of that. This
Speaker 5: is all one album. So why was this a whole
Speaker 5: body of work that you know, had been working on
Speaker 5: and recording and now you're done with it, or to
Speaker 5: just keep going after twenty twenty one and keep building
Speaker 5: on that.
Speaker 9: No, I just wrote the sweet It was really like
Speaker 9: a standalone thing. And then we were interrupted by the
Speaker 9: pandemic anyways, and then when the pandemic was over, I
Speaker 9: went back to my friends. He's got a farm in
Speaker 9: the west of England, which is where I wrote the
Speaker 9: whole suite, and I worked and I wrote a lot
Speaker 9: of this stuff, and on the way home, I stopped
Speaker 9: in London and sing on my friend's record. They've got
Speaker 9: this band, Gang of Youth, Australian band. They live in London, though,
Speaker 9: And when I got home from that a little while later,
Speaker 9: they sent me the record and it was so good.
Speaker 9: It's called Angel in Real Time. And I just had
Speaker 9: this thought, like, Wow, these songs aren't as good as
Speaker 9: their songs. I thought this stuff was really great, but
Speaker 9: I'm seeing it in perspective compared to their stuff. You know,
Speaker 9: it needs some work. And I actually went back to
Speaker 9: the drawing board and I rewrote the chorus for under
Speaker 9: the Aurora, like I rewrote a bunch of the stuff,
Speaker 9: and I thought it was really good at that point.
Speaker 9: But that's kind of why I didn't have a lot
Speaker 9: of confidence in it, and I sort of sat on
Speaker 9: it for two years before I wrote With Love from
Speaker 9: Me to Z and then called the guys like I
Speaker 9: told you, uh, But but it was an experience I've
Speaker 9: never had before. I've never kind of like finished things
Speaker 9: and thought, oh wait, they're not that they're not good enough.
Speaker 9: But that's kind of why it took a little longer.
Speaker 9: But originally I was just writing the suite, but then
Speaker 9: I wanted to write this stuff to go along with it.
Speaker 5: You mentioned you had a Taylor Sweats tour. What did
Speaker 5: you see there that was inspiring?
Speaker 6: Wow?
Speaker 9: It was just really well thought out, you know. I mean,
Speaker 9: I write songs and sing, and there's a lot that
Speaker 9: goes into a concert that has to do with like
Speaker 9: set design.
Speaker 6: We don't do a ton of that.
Speaker 9: If you want to do visuals and videos and stuff,
Speaker 9: there's a lot of thought that has to go into
Speaker 9: what's the right visual to put behind your song? And
Speaker 9: I know how complex that thought process can be. And
Speaker 9: we don't do a lot of video. We're generally set
Speaker 9: moods with lights. But the thought that had gone into
Speaker 9: the visual presentations at that tour, like how it was
Speaker 9: really moving. It was really really good. And this combination
Speaker 9: of the sets, the incredible video presentation, the movement on stage,
Speaker 9: the whole thing. There's just a lot of complex creative
Speaker 9: thought that goes into making a show like that.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 9: It's it's practically like making an entire movie, you know.
Speaker 9: And also it's three plus hours long. That's a lot,
Speaker 9: you know that. I was really impressed with the amount
Speaker 9: of creative people from different disciplines that had come together
Speaker 9: and made that really impressive show that wasn't just like laserium,
Speaker 9: you know, like lasers like you know, you see it.
Speaker 9: It was like moving. Each song was really thought out.
Speaker 9: All the things that went into each song were really
Speaker 9: thought out, and they really worked. I was just very
Speaker 9: impressed by it. It's not the kind of show we
Speaker 9: put on, but I thought it was brilliant.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 5: One of the old man things that I say kids
Speaker 5: miss out on now are the secret tracks. And there's
Speaker 5: a couple of different secret tracks that I think of
Speaker 5: with you guys, and one was the uh maybe it
Speaker 5: was hard Candy you hold down the fast forward and
Speaker 5: you guys did the Joni Mitchell song before Vanessa Carlton
Speaker 5: came on, was that Hard Candy. At the end of
Speaker 5: Hard Candy, Oh.
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, yeah, we had to rush out the initial
Speaker 9: pressings of that record, so we didn't have Vanessa's parts
Speaker 9: on there yet. I think you had to like hold
Speaker 9: down the fast forward but just barely to get to
Speaker 9: it or let it. You fall asleep with it on
Speaker 9: and then all of a sudden the song startles you.
Speaker 9: But even before that, when it.
Speaker 6: Was the what I Want wow in the Desert Life.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and at the end of that that that that
Speaker 5: art is no longer because now if there's a track
Speaker 5: that's seventeen minutes long, you just see that and you're like, well,
Speaker 5: why would you guys pick those songs to do hidden
Speaker 5: and who was the one that suggested to do it
Speaker 5: hidden track?
Speaker 9: Well, sometimes it's just something I really like that doesn't
Speaker 9: work in the flow of the record. It just didn't
Speaker 9: feel like part of the record, like kid Things on
Speaker 9: a Desert Life. On Desert Life just didn't feel like
Speaker 9: part of the record. But I really loved it, and
Speaker 9: thematically it was part of the record, but it was
Speaker 9: done really low fi and it just it didn't fit
Speaker 9: in the I tried to fit in the flow and
Speaker 9: I couldn't sequence it. I mean, I know nobody listens
Speaker 9: to records anymore, but I really like to make records
Speaker 9: and I want you to be able to sit down
Speaker 9: and listen to it all the way through, even if
Speaker 9: nobody's gonna do it.
Speaker 5: That's what I really like. I like making that work.
Speaker 9: And sometimes I just couldn't get a song to fit,
Speaker 9: which meant I left a couple of songs I love
Speaker 9: off records and I hit a couple just because that
Speaker 9: seemed kind of fun. It was like a nice Easter
Speaker 9: egg for fans. That was the thing with the with
Speaker 9: the kid things. It just didn't it fits thematically, but
Speaker 9: it didn't it didn't flow in the record. But uh,
Speaker 9: Big yell a Taxi was different because we just spent
Speaker 9: this one weekend doing all these covers for B sides
Speaker 9: when we were while we were mixing the record, we
Speaker 9: were like in another little room just cutting cover songs,
Speaker 9: and uh.
Speaker 6: That just turned it.
Speaker 9: We had this kind of acoustic hip hop version of
Speaker 9: Big Yellow Taxi that we play in concert, but we
Speaker 9: wanted to try doing a remix with it. We like
Speaker 9: went out to Farrell back then it was just starting
Speaker 9: in the Neptunes, then went back to him, Jimmy jamm
Speaker 9: and Terry Lewis from the time, but we weren't able
Speaker 9: to sort of get any of it done in time.
Speaker 9: And Ron Fair came and said, hey, I know you've
Speaker 9: been doing this with all these other guys, but I
Speaker 9: actually did a version and I think it works really well.
Speaker 9: And he sent it to me and I was like, oh,
Speaker 9: that does work. That's really cool. Thanks, And then he
Speaker 9: wanted to have someone sing on it. And right before
Speaker 9: we were mixing Hard Candy, he was in there mixing
Speaker 9: a record with this with Vanessa Carlton, her first record,
Speaker 9: you know. And I had heard a bunch of it
Speaker 9: because he was in there, you know, and Jack Josepegeld
Speaker 9: played me some of her songs, thought that they were
Speaker 9: really good, and I knew that I had to leave
Speaker 9: for tour before we were going to be able to
Speaker 9: finish it, and I thought it might be intimidating for
Speaker 9: someone to come in and sing on one of our tracks,
Speaker 9: but he could get a lot out of a woman
Speaker 9: he had just worked with. Well, she would be comfortable
Speaker 9: enough with him to actually like improv on our track,
Speaker 9: and she did.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it worked out great.
Speaker 9: It's funny because she was this total unknown singer and
Speaker 9: then by the time it came out, she was very popular.
Speaker 5: The complete Sweet comes up May ninth. Man, you guys
Speaker 5: doing a lot of shows too. Do you do the
Speaker 5: touring where you just go away and don't come back
Speaker 5: for a couple of months.
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Mostly, Yeah, we the weekend this sort of a Nashville thing,
Speaker 5: I know, yeah, Friday, Saturday, maybe maybe Thursday, maybe Sunday,
Speaker 5: but back home. Yeah, that sounds very convenient. Yeah it is. Yeah,
Speaker 5: so you guys just go because you guys are going
Speaker 5: like Europe too, the whole thing.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're doing the whole summer is gone or out
Speaker 9: on the tour in America. You know, we passed through
Speaker 9: home wherever your home is, you usually pass through it,
Speaker 9: and then we'll go to Europe in the fall.
Speaker 5: That's pretty cool. A lot of days from June and
Speaker 5: we'll put them up in the notes here on the podcast,
Speaker 5: but from June, yeah, all the way up until November. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: until it gets cold.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Do you do cold weather shows or most of your
Speaker 5: show's amphitheaters, Well, not during the summer, but other times
Speaker 5: a year. Do you ever play, you ever play the
Speaker 5: longest in December and the crowd goes ah, Like just
Speaker 5: because you yelled December, it's like yelling at city when
Speaker 5: you're in it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like he said, our month, he said our month.
Speaker 6: This is crazy.
Speaker 9: I should write one for each month because then I
Speaker 9: would have hits any time of the year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be good. Uh, we're going to play
Speaker 5: some music here in this second. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 5: I should tell you not that it matters. I looked
Speaker 5: it matters me. It doesn't matter. But this was the
Speaker 5: first book ever wrote, and it was best seller for
Speaker 5: a little bit. It's pretty Cool'm pretty proud of it.
Speaker 5: But I thank you guys in the back of the book. Really,
Speaker 5: I did, Can I have a copy? Well, you don't
Speaker 5: want no, No, it's not sure you can have a copy.
Speaker 5: But it wasn't for that. I just I it was
Speaker 5: laying here by my foot, and I was like, you know,
Speaker 5: because you guys are you guys are my favorite band
Speaker 5: of all time, And so I said, I wonder if
Speaker 5: I thanked them in the credits like the book, and
Speaker 5: I did. You're on the back page when it was like, hey,
Speaker 5: I want to think kund of Cross.
Speaker 9: I know you came to that show in Nashville few
Speaker 9: years ago and they told me you were there. Then
Speaker 9: you didn't come backstage.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I don't want to be that guy like
Speaker 5: I just want to and honestly, and I think you'll
Speaker 5: understand this, I didn't want to not like you because
Speaker 5: I love I love my relationship with your music, and
Speaker 5: I didn't want to not like you. And so I
Speaker 5: was like, you know what, I'm good because the place
Speaker 5: I'm in now with Count of Crows, it couldn't be better.
Speaker 9: I hear you, I hear you. If you come backstage
Speaker 9: at some point, I promise not to be well.
Speaker 5: Now I like you, though now I'm feel good about it.
Speaker 5: But that was really the reason. They were like, you
Speaker 5: want to go meet at him? And I was like, no,
Speaker 5: I just enjoyed the show. I was like, I do
Speaker 5: not because right now I love Adham. He might be
Speaker 5: well and not even that, but like I intured doing
Speaker 5: stand up and some days you just don't feel good.
Speaker 5: Some day that's true, and so I just didn't want
Speaker 5: it to be there. So next time I probably still won't.
Speaker 5: But right now, when I say, well, can I have
Speaker 5: a book or else, now I'll give you a book.
Speaker 5: I want a book. It's really cool. They were thanking
Speaker 5: in the back.
Speaker 6: Of the book.
Speaker 1: I won't want How did you think him?
Speaker 5: Like I said, I just thanked him for the music
Speaker 5: for like all the you know, I mean.
Speaker 1: You read it, read it.
Speaker 5: Okay, what if it's like Adam, I'm in love with you.
Speaker 5: Also a big sad hug to the County Crows for
Speaker 5: making lots of great music that makes me sad by
Speaker 5: feeling happy, by feeling sad. Actually that's pretty great. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's nice. Yeah, because I mean that's how I felt.
Speaker 5: So I got a little choked out.
Speaker 6: That was actually pretty good.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you well, and I'll clarify some importance behind
Speaker 1: that and some of Bobby's up bringing. You can have
Speaker 1: a lot of space to feel, so I think your
Speaker 1: music gave him that space to feel sad.
Speaker 9: Hug all around. I'm not making funn of you. That's
Speaker 9: actually really sweet. I'm kind of touched by that.
Speaker 5: But any hug at all was happy for me. And
Speaker 5: now we're going too far. That's right, Okay.
Speaker 2: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number two.
Speaker 1: Some things get really weird at our work.
Speaker 4: And this is one of those moments.
Speaker 5: Ay, he's doing something.
Speaker 3: Lunchbox witnessed it, and he was like, I cannot believe
Speaker 3: she was doing this at work.
Speaker 4: And I know you guys might have went to a
Speaker 4: dirty place. That's not what this is about.
Speaker 1: Okay, don't go there.
Speaker 3: Gode awkward though all the way around, and I'm not
Speaker 3: sure how I feel about it on multiple levels.
Speaker 4: But without further ado, here's.
Speaker 3: Lunchbox witnessing Amy doing something at work.
Speaker 1: Don't go there. Okay, it's not dirty.
Speaker 5: Number one, you were doing therapy at work.
Speaker 1: Well, it had to because it was virtual. But we
Speaker 1: got done like two minutes after it was supposed to start,
Speaker 1: so I had to like run to a production room
Speaker 1: and pull up my computer and.
Speaker 5: Then I would have never done that. Here microphones and people.
Speaker 1: I know, But what was I supposed to do?
Speaker 5: I postponed.
Speaker 1: No, this was the only slot she had available, and
Speaker 1: we had a book at last minute, and it was
Speaker 1: for noon one day, and that's normally when we get
Speaker 1: done ish, So I was like planning on a production room.
Speaker 1: But you never know. Sometimes if we got an eleven
Speaker 1: forty five, it would have just driven somewhere. But it
Speaker 1: was twelve oh two. So I ran to a production room,
Speaker 1: got on my computer and loaded up the zoom and
Speaker 1: I'm totally We're in therapy. My boyfriend is joining me,
Speaker 1: my therapist is on there, We're all in the computer,
Speaker 1: and out of the corner of my eye through the
Speaker 1: production room window, I started seeing Lunchbox and we're having
Speaker 1: a moment in the session and he is like making
Speaker 1: faces and noises and I'm like, did.
Speaker 5: You know what she was doing?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 7: At first I didn't know what she was doing, but
Speaker 7: then when I realized it, I was like, Oh, this
Speaker 7: is kind of funny, and it was kind of interesting
Speaker 7: to see an animal in their habitat because Amy is
Speaker 7: like mis therapy and I've never seen her do therapy
Speaker 7: and she talks about it all the time. I mean,
Speaker 7: I've never seen Amy so focused. She was dialed in.
Speaker 5: Did you think you shouldn't watch?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 5: Like, that's very private thing. It's a very personal thing.
Speaker 7: I mean, what is so private about it? There's a window,
Speaker 7: you're doing something where there's a windows, the doors closed,
Speaker 7: you have the light on, and you're at work, So
Speaker 7: I mean, is it really that private?
Speaker 5: I want to still go you knew what it was, so, Yes,
Speaker 5: I would have never done.
Speaker 1: That at work, I know, But what was I supposed
Speaker 1: to do?
Speaker 5: Like I said, I would have said, hey, I didn't
Speaker 5: get out, or i'd have said, hey, I need to
Speaker 5: leave work a few minutes early because I don't know
Speaker 5: you needed to do, or.
Speaker 7: Say give me five minutes, I'll go sit in my car.
Speaker 5: I mean I have car, Okay, I could do that.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm just saying.
Speaker 5: That doesn't give you the right to like, stare and
Speaker 5: make faces when she's like trying to like, well.
Speaker 7: I don't know at what point. What if they're just
Speaker 7: doing introductions, that's still.
Speaker 5: Not a point to if you know she's doing therapy,
Speaker 5: then that lunchucks.
Speaker 1: Did you see I was staring at my computer and
Speaker 1: I was emotional.
Speaker 7: I mean you did have an emotional look on your
Speaker 7: face like oh I'm about to cry maybe or I
Speaker 7: don't know, but you were really concentrated so I know
Speaker 7: you can focus, which was pretty cool.
Speaker 6: So you couldn't hear lunchbox and I couldn't.
Speaker 5: You're sitting where her face was to the window, so
Speaker 5: you could see her face.
Speaker 7: He's gone to sitting sideways like she had the computer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, then once I saw like this. Once I saw him,
Speaker 1: I moved the whole thing to where he couldn't see
Speaker 1: because I was like, oh my gosh, now he's like
Speaker 1: just buying on us.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to side with Amy, but barely. It's
Speaker 5: weird to do therapy at work, but.
Speaker 7: A lot I got a question. Did your therapist or
Speaker 7: your boyfriend think it was funny when they saw my faces?
Speaker 1: No, they thankfully couldn't see you.
Speaker 5: But the only that people can't see her faces of
Speaker 5: people behind the camera on her computer.
Speaker 7: Right, like thought, maybe I was in the camera shot.
Speaker 7: I was doing it.
Speaker 1: You weren't in the shots. When I started to go
Speaker 1: from sadness to laughter, like, they were like what's happening?
Speaker 1: And I was like, and I'm moving and I'm like whatever,
Speaker 1: it's my coworker.
Speaker 7: So he killed he killed the vibe VI or did
Speaker 7: I save you from crying?
Speaker 1: But crying's good. I had to get it out. But
Speaker 1: laughter is good too, so you know, I'll take it.
Speaker 1: It just was, Yes, it's not ideal to do therapy
Speaker 1: at work, but I guarantee you a lot of people
Speaker 1: have to do it. And I would go to the
Speaker 1: car though I didn't think of that. I didn't think
Speaker 1: of that. I did it way back in the day
Speaker 1: when I had to do these really intense ones with
Speaker 1: my ex husband. Sometimes I would have to do them.
Speaker 1: They were like three hours long, and I would do
Speaker 1: them from your office back in the.
Speaker 7: Day, but there was no window there. That's the only
Speaker 7: there was no window.
Speaker 5: But like sometimes that I'm lucky to.
Speaker 1: Walk in. And in one time I yelled the effort
Speaker 1: really loud and slave my computer and I was like,
Speaker 1: did anybody hear that? That was? That was from your office?
Speaker 1: But that was Those were different times.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was pretty cool. I y Yeah, No, they.
Speaker 1: Were very very different. You remember they were different. Those
Speaker 1: were different different That was probably twenty twenty, twenty twenty two.
Speaker 5: Okay, so here's a different times.
Speaker 1: Different times.
Speaker 5: If she's doing therapy, don't stare in the window. Okay,
Speaker 5: that's why I wouldn't go out staring. That's a really
Speaker 5: personal private time. And also just don't do therapy at work.
Speaker 1: Well that's that's I think you can do therapy at work.
Speaker 5: You can, but what's gonna happen if you gonta people
Speaker 5: walking about making faces?
Speaker 7: Yeah, or put something over the window. If don't want
Speaker 7: me to see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's just it's just ridiculous.
Speaker 5: And there are microphones and there. I'd be afraid and
Speaker 5: I could hear it.
Speaker 6: They could.
Speaker 5: I would turn a microphone on from another room and
Speaker 5: record the whole thing.
Speaker 6: Wait really, of course, Oh yeah I do.
Speaker 1: They I mean you can't know. I looked at the
Speaker 1: panel and made sure everything was off, but someone else
Speaker 1: could access the.
Speaker 5: You don't think people can. It doesn't matter. I would
Speaker 5: just say I wouldn't do it here. Just be careful,
Speaker 5: it's not making faces and grow up? All right? Everybody good?
Speaker 1: That's are good.
