Speaker 1: It's the Best Bits of the week with Morgan. I
Speaker 1: just the bits.
Speaker 2: What's up, everybody? Welcome to the Best Bits this weekend.
Speaker 2: It's Morgan here. You might have heard some news from
Speaker 2: me on the show this week, which we'll get into
Speaker 2: unfortunately in the number one spot. But if my voice
Speaker 2: sound a little bit different pushing through. So hang in
Speaker 2: there and get caught up on the Bobby Bone Show
Speaker 2: with me this week. But if you want to check
Speaker 2: out part one. In part three, I would love that
Speaker 2: Lunchbox joins me. He gives me a really funny, entertaining
Speaker 2: pep talk in part one. In part three, we answer
Speaker 2: all kinds of questions, especially about all of the baby
Speaker 2: boxes and then going back to school and if he
Speaker 2: really dislikes Abby or if it's just a bit. So
Speaker 2: that's all over in part one. In part three, now
Speaker 2: the reason you're here, we're gonna break down the Bobby
Speaker 2: Bone Show from this week. Tuesday Reviews Day is always fun.
Speaker 2: You guys like to hear some recommendations because it's kind
Speaker 2: of hard to figure out what should I watch this week?
Speaker 2: You sit down after a long day, I don't want
Speaker 2: to scroll through everything. Well, here are some suggestions we
Speaker 2: do Tuesday Reviews Day every week and everybody shares something
Speaker 2: that they've been watching.
Speaker 3: We got a lot.
Speaker 2: We've got one called The Stranger, American Murder, Cowboy, Cartel,
Speaker 2: The Union. There's lots of things all up in there,
Speaker 2: or whatever your taste of things are. However, if you
Speaker 2: have listened to part one, you'll know that I am
Speaker 2: currently looking for things to watch that have absolutely zero
Speaker 2: type of romantic sense into them. So if you have
Speaker 2: good suggestions, send them my way. We'll do the reverse
Speaker 2: and it'll be a Saturday Reviews Day and you can
Speaker 2: DM me on Instagram.
Speaker 1: Number seven.
Speaker 3: Tuesday Reviews Day the one day we review everything we've
Speaker 3: watched in the past week. I watched a movie. It
Speaker 3: was called something about Planet of the Apes. I don't
Speaker 3: know which one it was, Hey, Mike, it was the
Speaker 3: latest Planet of the Apes. Whereas mostly all apes there's
Speaker 3: not like one human.
Speaker 1: Kicking them on the Planet of the Apes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, aren't they all like that?
Speaker 3: No? No, no they're not, And I was ready for
Speaker 3: more like humans.
Speaker 4: It's called Planet of the apes't thing doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: It's sometimes full humans to go and fight the apes.
Speaker 3: And there's all these different versions of it.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 3: Mike Trilogy before was the first one had a lot
Speaker 3: of humans in. Mark Wahlberg was in it. Brokay, that's
Speaker 3: a right.
Speaker 4: I forgot about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the books and the old Charlton Heston, like,
Speaker 3: it's not just all monkeys all the time.
Speaker 4: Is this the one where the birds?
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, that's a good one. I saw this one
Speaker 6: of the movies. Okay, Oh you didn't like it.
Speaker 3: It's okay. Oh it's okay. Is long? And I was like,
Speaker 3: I love, it's fine, it's fine. I just expected more humans.
Speaker 4: I agree with you.
Speaker 7: I that it was pretty boring.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if there had been more humans out of related
Speaker 3: more but it was like it's all ape on ape
Speaker 3: crime and I was like, what's that? And I was
Speaker 3: like I don't even know who to root for sometimes,
Speaker 3: and like the silver Backs were like bad guys, and
Speaker 3: then humans were bad, but then good, and then it
Speaker 3: was I would give it two and a half Earth Weapons,
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's good out of five because it's fine.
Speaker 3: I fell asleep a little bit during it.
Speaker 4: You fell asleep in the movie?
Speaker 3: Yeah, led to my wife ISID I didn't know because
Speaker 3: she was like, I don't want to watch this anymore.
Speaker 3: Watched it in two parts. I was like, i'll watch
Speaker 3: it with you. I fell asleep, and then she was
Speaker 3: like are you asleep? And I was like no, no, no,
Speaker 3: And then now I have to act like my favorite
Speaker 3: movie at home because it fell asleep during it. The
Speaker 3: same almost fell asleep in the theater watching you did. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so more humans that have been pretty good. The second
Speaker 3: thing to Beingji, but I get the BEINGI to And
Speaker 3: you guys may have watched this and it's in a
Speaker 3: different language, well British to British, what is it? It's
Speaker 3: still English but British, So you got to have the
Speaker 3: subtitles up because sometimes they're like, it's called The Stranger.
Speaker 3: It's on Netflix. It only came out a few years ago.
Speaker 8: Okay, I haven't watched this.
Speaker 3: It's based on a book. Well, we were just flipping
Speaker 3: through pick it, so it sounds like we're flipping and
Speaker 3: we go over to Netflix, which is kind of the
Speaker 3: lamer of the services now because it's more generic. But
Speaker 3: we felt we were like, let's give it a run.
Speaker 3: Watching them two days, eight episodes.
Speaker 4: Wow, yeah, it's eight episode.
Speaker 8: It's a BINGI, it's a stranger.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going four and then out of five Baseball
Speaker 3: Caps because well it's British and it wasn't American. I
Speaker 3: can't give anything five out of five except for squad Games.
Speaker 3: But The Stranger on Netflix. It's based off a book
Speaker 3: and I thought it was great. My wife thought it
Speaker 3: was great. We loved it. What's eighty seven percent on
Speaker 3: Rotten Tomatoes?
Speaker 4: Can you say what?
Speaker 3: I a web of secret since family man Adam Price
Speaker 3: onto a desperate quest to discover the truth about the
Speaker 3: people closest to him, all from A Stranger. Okay, those
Speaker 3: are my two Tuesday reviews.
Speaker 5: Days Amy Anything, I watched American Murder Lacy Peterson.
Speaker 3: I'm going to watch that. We're going to watch that.
Speaker 5: It's been twenty years since Scott Peterson was convicted.
Speaker 3: Movie or series.
Speaker 5: It's a three part series and it's really interesting because
Speaker 5: you're seeing like jurors or part of it. Her mom
Speaker 5: is speaking out for the first time, and yeah, I
Speaker 5: really enjoyed it and it hopefully will Like her mom
Speaker 5: was saying, she's gotten so many letters from Lacey's story
Speaker 5: being shared from women that have maybe been in a
Speaker 5: relationship that if they could, if they got out soon enough,
Speaker 5: then it saves their lives.
Speaker 3: You know, first of all, what do you rate it?
Speaker 3: And have a question.
Speaker 5: So sad, but I guess the way they did it,
Speaker 5: I thought it was really.
Speaker 3: What I have to rate the murder of the story
Speaker 3: actually just rating what.
Speaker 8: It just feels weird.
Speaker 5: But Netflix did a great job, So I give it
Speaker 5: four and a half out of five.
Speaker 9: Why do you to say streaming services, yeah, like, uh,
Speaker 9: when involved, No, we're not doing that, but I.
Speaker 8: Mean that's involved in the murder.
Speaker 3: Okay, Juris, thank you.
Speaker 4: Sorry, that was hard, generic cereal.
Speaker 3: Anything I said streaming services just so you can say
Speaker 3: that any chance we feel better about Scott Peterson after this,
Speaker 3: you can't say that.
Speaker 8: Okay. The weird no, not me.
Speaker 5: The weird thing is you're seeing from like some certain
Speaker 5: people that think he's still innocent, and but to me,
Speaker 5: it's like, how in the world you will get all this.
Speaker 8: Evidence and thing that he's innocent.
Speaker 5: But I think his sister in law like went and
Speaker 5: got her law degree and she's trying to fight for
Speaker 5: him to.
Speaker 3: Get Because I've seen like five different versions of a
Speaker 3: show like this, probably not as detailed, not three episodes.
Speaker 8: I don't want to say too much.
Speaker 3: Some of the yea. You couldn't even rate it a
Speaker 3: certain thing because it's sensitive. Yeah, all right, let's walch
Speaker 3: you got.
Speaker 7: I watched The Sand Pebbles.
Speaker 3: Was that the movie that Kevin Costner said was the
Speaker 3: greatest of all time?
Speaker 7: He said it is his favorite movie of all time?
Speaker 3: And I know why nineteen sixty six because there's.
Speaker 7: Three hours and sixteen minutes.
Speaker 10: Oh, that's why Kevin Costler liked it.
Speaker 3: And what did you think of The Sand Pebbles.
Speaker 7: I don't even Maybe I'm not smart enough for the movie.
Speaker 3: It's in the sixties.
Speaker 10: Maybe I needed to understand what was going on in
Speaker 10: nineteen thirty and it's like a US ship over in
Speaker 10: China and they're fighting.
Speaker 7: I was bored out of my mind. I had to
Speaker 7: rent it twice because I couldn't finish it.
Speaker 3: Why did you re rent it?
Speaker 7: Because I had to have to review it. I had
Speaker 7: to finish it, yuys.
Speaker 3: I want to make this clear, you don't have to
Speaker 3: watch anything. No.
Speaker 10: I was intrigued about Kevin Costner's favorite movie of all time.
Speaker 10: He's one of the greatest actors of our generation, and
Speaker 10: I'm like, Okay, there has to be something that I'm
Speaker 10: going to get out of this like it's gonna get better.
Speaker 3: Right, let me state the rolls again. This isn't you
Speaker 3: have to watch something, it's if you do. This is
Speaker 3: the one time of the week we review it. Oh
Speaker 3: so this is not homework to go and you have
Speaker 3: to watch something. I didn't say I had to know,
Speaker 3: but Amy thinks it is.
Speaker 8: He kind of just said I thought he said I
Speaker 8: had to I had to do it to review it.
Speaker 10: No, I had to finish it to review it. Because
Speaker 10: you can't review something you haven't finished.
Speaker 3: What do you give the sand pebbles?
Speaker 7: One and a half? Oh ships out of five?
Speaker 6: Okay, thank you, Eddie anything cowboy Cartel. Amy brought it
Speaker 6: to the show. She was talking in a little something
Speaker 6: about it was like, let me watch this thing, guys.

Speaker 6: It's I mean, this takes place in South Texas, Like
Speaker 6: this is my stomping ground as I was born and
Speaker 6: raised McCall in Texas, right by the border. The Zettas
Speaker 6: is the is the cartel that's down there who they
Speaker 6: did some bad stuff And this is how the FBI
Speaker 6: got him review it. Oh, four out of five quarter horses.
Speaker 3: We'll put all this up on our social media pages too, Morgan,
Speaker 3: you have one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I watched The Union on Netflix. It's with
Speaker 2: Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry. It's a great dumb action movie.
Speaker 11: Never heard of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's brand new, just came out, and it's all
Speaker 2: about basically Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry is his ex
Speaker 2: from like twenty five years ago, and she pops out
Speaker 2: of nowhere and then all these things in sue and
Speaker 2: I would give it three and a half out of
Speaker 2: five cell phones.
Speaker 3: The audience score for Rotten Tomatoes is twenty eight percent.
Speaker 2: I told you, dumb action movie. Okay, Yeah, dumb action movie,
Speaker 2: but like an easy watch. And I really like Mark
Speaker 2: Wahlberg and Halle Berry together.
Speaker 3: That's Tuesday reviews day. Yeah, if nobody has anything, we'll
Speaker 3: just go there's nothing to review. You do not have
Speaker 3: to watch anything. Amy got it.
Speaker 8: I was like, oh, man, want to finish it to
Speaker 8: be able to review it.
Speaker 3: You got it? It moving on, Okay, it's the best
Speaker 3: bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 1: Number two.
Speaker 2: Drew Baldridge stopped by the studio this week. It's his
Speaker 2: first time officially in the studio. You might have heard
Speaker 2: him on Bobby's Bobby cast really cool stuff. This guy
Speaker 2: has almost made it to the top one on country
Speaker 2: radio and he's completely self funded. He's not on a
Speaker 2: record label. He had posted his song She's Somebody's Daughter,
Speaker 2: and it went viral on social media and he thought
Speaker 2: after that he'd for surely beginning onto a record label,
Speaker 2: but that wasn't the case. So he was like, I'm
Speaker 2: going to fight for this, and he has and that's
Speaker 2: what he came in to talk about. It's really cool
Speaker 2: and super inspiring. So if you haven't heard of him,
Speaker 2: now you will. His name is Drew Baldridge.
Speaker 1: Number six on the Bobby Bones Show. Now Drew Baldridge.
Speaker 12: True?
Speaker 3: Is this the week we're doing it?
Speaker 13: Or what this is it?
Speaker 14: Brother?
Speaker 3: So if Drew hits number one, which I think you're
Speaker 3: at three this week?
Speaker 14: Yeah, So we're three this week on media Base and
Speaker 14: five on Billboard.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's just keep it on media Base. It's all
Speaker 3: we care about right here. I like it three.
Speaker 15: This week at two I think was everybody get it yeah,
Speaker 15: shaboozi yeah, and then at number one it was uh ah,
Speaker 15: try jack, I try do.
Speaker 3: So we've set up for this number one.
Speaker 16: Now.
Speaker 3: The thing about Drew if you've been listening to the
Speaker 3: stuff that we've been doing over on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 3: If he reaches number one on media Base, he'll be
Speaker 3: the first ever self funded artist to reach the top
Speaker 3: spot with their song.
Speaker 4: That's amazing funded artist.
Speaker 3: What does self funded mean? Drew?
Speaker 14: Well, I just had to create my own record label
Speaker 14: to do this, so I had to hire my own staff,
Speaker 14: and uh, you know which is which is a lot.
Speaker 14: I mean that's why artists, you know, back in the
Speaker 14: day really couldn't do it. We're very lucky that streaming
Speaker 14: exists to kind of fund the staff to help send
Speaker 14: a radio because it's like, you can't just have a
Speaker 14: label and say hey, I'm sending song to radio and
Speaker 14: everybody just starts playing it.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 14: You got to have people that rep you, that go
Speaker 14: out and say hey, can you please play this and
Speaker 14: please play this? And we're just very lucky that radio
Speaker 14: has been so kind. You know, I've been in Nashville
Speaker 14: for thirteen years now chasing this.
Speaker 3: Overnight success is what I hear. I don't know about
Speaker 3: you guys, never been a better example of overnight success.
Speaker 3: Talk about the song for a second. So she's somebody's daughter,
Speaker 3: How long ago, did you write the song?
Speaker 14: So I wrote this song six years ago after meeting
Speaker 14: my wife's dad for the first time. She was just
Speaker 14: my girlfriend and it was kind of just like one
Speaker 14: of those things of don't mess this up, like treat
Speaker 14: her write you know. I wanted to message to myself
Speaker 14: to remember that. So I wrote this song back in
Speaker 14: twenty eighteen, and I was on a record label and
Speaker 14: we put it out in twenty nineteen and it just
Speaker 14: really it really didn't do anything. There was a girl
Speaker 14: at that time had a song to Neil Towns, had
Speaker 14: a song called Somebody's Daughter, which was a great song, and.
Speaker 13: I was like, you gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 14: And it was such a god blessing because we didn't
Speaker 14: put it out to radio and the label I was
Speaker 14: on closed in three months and because of you, not
Speaker 14: because I don't know, but it was just they just
Speaker 14: wanted to shut their doors. And I thought, and I'd
Speaker 14: get a new record deal. And twenty twenty came and
Speaker 14: COVID hit and nobody would you know, take meetings, and
Speaker 14: I almost quit. I lost my record deal, I lost
Speaker 14: my manager, I lost my booking agent. And the thing
Speaker 14: that I did was I said, okay, that's kind of
Speaker 14: one last straw. I'm just going to post on my
Speaker 14: TikTok and just say hey, I'll play in anybody's backyard
Speaker 14: that wants to have me. And I thought we'd get
Speaker 14: like five requests, and we end up getting I think
Speaker 14: close to twenty twenty thousand requests. And I went around
Speaker 14: the country for two or three years and just played
Speaker 14: three hundred people's backyards.
Speaker 3: Just the least amount of money you ever got for
Speaker 3: doing a backyard.
Speaker 14: Oh man, I think five hundred bucks.
Speaker 3: Okay, still respectable. So no one got you for like
Speaker 3: two bucks and some blint in their pocket like oh Mann, yeah,
Speaker 3: oh crap, I forgot to bring my wallet. And what
Speaker 3: was the most anybody ever gave you?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 14: I think you know, it's hard. I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 14: I think like five five thousand dollars to go play,
Speaker 14: and that was I mean at that time, you know,
Speaker 14: everybody thought I was doing them such a favor, like, man,
Speaker 14: you being here as awesome. I can't believe in your yard,
Speaker 14: and I'd be like, man, no, like what you're doing
Speaker 14: for me is life changing. Like I have a son,
Speaker 14: you know, I have a wife, and I'm trying to
Speaker 14: live a lifestyle and stay in Nashville. It's expensive here,
Speaker 14: and just like they helped me so much. And now
Speaker 14: it's crazy to think that all those people we played
Speaker 14: in their backyards and I'm seeing posts every day. It's
Speaker 14: like this dude's almost got a number one record.
Speaker 13: He was in our yard. You know. It's just crazy.
Speaker 3: And sometimes as a porchpirate not even playing the show,
Speaker 3: but I was just trying to steal stuff to get by. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so we feel like this could be.
Speaker 13: The week man.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean right now, there's this thing called real
Speaker 14: Time that shows the chart in real time, and we're.
Speaker 13: At number one.
Speaker 14: Guys, we're at number one in real time, and it's
Speaker 14: such a blessing and I just can't believe it. I mean,
Speaker 14: you know, everybody looks at media Base. I'm also like
Speaker 14: a Billboard watch or two and we're three on Billboard,
Speaker 14: and I'm like, oh man, we're so close, Like it'd
Speaker 14: be cool to hit the number one on both. But
Speaker 14: I was talking to somebodies yesday and they're just like, dude,
Speaker 14: just you're number one, Take your number one song, Take
Speaker 14: the number one. And it's just such a blessing to
Speaker 14: know too, Like we did it by ourselves. Like there
Speaker 14: wasn't no fancy strings being pulled, there wasn't big money
Speaker 14: pockets behind it. It was just like me and take it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dark political money. He didn't take it.
Speaker 13: No, he didn't make it.
Speaker 14: Man, It's just cool. And also I can just say
Speaker 14: it's the fans. You know, they drove this song. I
Speaker 14: think you know they've had like a billion views on
Speaker 14: TikTok and like have driven driven this song to number one.
Speaker 14: It's really them and they've become a part of my
Speaker 14: life and part of my family. And it's really special
Speaker 14: to watch a song that means so much to me
Speaker 14: that I wrote about my wife and her dad, and
Speaker 14: now watching it mean so much to other people, and
Speaker 14: hearing people sing at shows, like I've been here for
Speaker 14: thirteen years. I've never had anybody sing along at a show.
Speaker 14: And so like my bass player the first time that happened.
Speaker 14: He's been playing bass for me for eleven years, like
Speaker 14: right when I started, and I remember the first time
Speaker 14: it happened. It was last year and people started singing.
Speaker 14: I was like, dude, do you remember people singing at
Speaker 14: our show?
Speaker 4: Nope?
Speaker 13: Never, nobody's ever singing. I've been waiting on this for Tay.
Speaker 14: I was like, oh my goodness, we finally got a
Speaker 14: song that people know.
Speaker 3: Whenever you write a song, let's say, for your now wife,
Speaker 3: and you play it for her, you're like, this was inspired.
Speaker 3: When you write a song inspired by her? Dad, are
Speaker 3: you ever You're like, Chuck, come in, I want you
Speaker 3: to listen to this song I wrote. How did that
Speaker 3: get back to him? Cause that's kind of you know,
Speaker 3: it's it's not awkward, but it's kind of I wrote
Speaker 3: the song about Yeah.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I just I didn't show him, you know.
Speaker 14: I showed her and it was like, hey, if you
Speaker 14: want to show your dad, you can, and I have
Speaker 14: this really special video of the first time, like, you know,
Speaker 14: we're getting married, and she said, Dad, I got the
Speaker 14: song we're going to dance to. And I made, you know,
Speaker 14: the twenty nineteen versions, like this real up tempo thing.
Speaker 14: And we got married in twenty twenty one, so it
Speaker 14: was a couple of years later. I made a special
Speaker 14: wedding version just so she could dance to it with
Speaker 14: her dad and just me and a piano and a cello.
Speaker 14: And so she pulls it up up in the kitchen
Speaker 14: and just starts dancing with her dad in the kitchen
Speaker 14: to it and they're crying, and I like sneak my
Speaker 14: phone in on the side of it and watched, you know,
Speaker 14: get to watch them have this special moment of her
Speaker 14: and her dad. And that was really cool for me
Speaker 14: as a as a songwriter to be like, man, I've
Speaker 14: been writing songs since I was sixteen in my bedroom
Speaker 14: and like, never thought I would write the song that
Speaker 14: my wife and father in law would dance to, and
Speaker 14: not only that, but so many around the country at
Speaker 14: that time. It was just literally I did it for
Speaker 14: them and we posted the video on our honeymoon. I'm
Speaker 14: just like, hey, if you like this wedding version, I'll
Speaker 14: put it out. And it was a Wednesday and we
Speaker 14: woke up the next morning with almost ten million views
Speaker 14: on the TikTok, and I was just like me and
Speaker 14: my wife were dancing, was like, every record company's gonna
Speaker 14: be calling us now, baby, you know, and nobody did.
Speaker 14: We laughed now, but not so funny then so funny
Speaker 14: then now now we're laughing because it's like, yeah, we
Speaker 14: freaking did it by ourselves. Back then, it was like,
Speaker 14: oh man, everybody's calling and yeah, nobody did and just
Speaker 14: watched it happen. So many other dads use this song
Speaker 14: and it's so funny. Now in meet and greets, I
Speaker 14: have these cowboys that come up and cowboy hats and
Speaker 14: real manly man and they're like crying. They're like, don't
Speaker 14: tell anybody, I'm crying. But that song right there really means.
Speaker 13: A lot to me.
Speaker 3: Are you those dads match a man? Ready savage?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 3: Everyone sounded like, yeah, have you played any weddings this song?
Speaker 3: Any weddings I have?
Speaker 14: Yeah, there's some really awesome TikTok videos too, where I
Speaker 14: just kind of surprise some people. Like I get messages
Speaker 14: all the time, and I always reach back if I
Speaker 14: see them, like where's it at?
Speaker 13: You know, if I'm in the area and I'm touring,
Speaker 13: like and if I have.
Speaker 14: Time, I'll stop by, you know, and if it works out,
Speaker 14: it does, and if not, you know, I wish we
Speaker 14: could do surprise more people. But but yeah, we've done
Speaker 14: a couple of them. They've been really special. I had
Speaker 14: one in Salt Lake City that really stands out. They
Speaker 14: reached out and they're like, we're using you know, she's
Speaker 14: somebody's dollar. I also have this song called can she
Speaker 14: have this dance that I wrote from my mama to
Speaker 14: dance to at our wedding And we put that out too,
Speaker 14: and like my husband's dancing to that song, we're also
Speaker 14: going to use your son. I was like, well, man,
Speaker 14: this they're using all my songs. Tribute show. You're still
Speaker 14: a lot tribute I'm still here. So we would show
Speaker 14: up and we got to play those and that was
Speaker 14: really cool. But those those are some special moments because
Speaker 14: you just get to be a part of people's lives.
Speaker 14: And I just think that's what's so cool about country
Speaker 14: music is you know, music's made to make memories too,
Speaker 14: and man, when you can be a part of somebody's long,
Speaker 14: long term memory of getting married, you know, that's that's
Speaker 14: really special to me.
Speaker 3: I know for a long time, you were booking all
Speaker 3: of your own shows too, like you were a DIY.
Speaker 3: And what's cool is you've learned how to do it.
Speaker 3: But now have there been people come along that are
Speaker 3: now joining the team.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 14: So from twenty twenty to twenty four, I managed myself.
Speaker 14: I booked to myself. That was my own record lage. Well,
Speaker 14: I don't know what I was doing.
Speaker 5: Would you talk like yourself though, or would you be like,
Speaker 5: right question, let me go check his calendar.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so what I do is I just had a

Speaker 14: and I'd just be like, thank you so much.
Speaker 13: For being interested in Drew Baldridge. This is what we require.
Speaker 14: And so yeah, I just run that email and uh,
Speaker 14: you know when when they would ask to get on
Speaker 14: the phone, that's when it would get harry, you know,
Speaker 14: and then I'd have to go my tour managers like, hey, man,
Speaker 14: do you care to call these people? This is what
Speaker 14: we need and this is what we're doing. And but yeah,
Speaker 14: so I ran up by myself for four years. We
Speaker 14: got We did it all the way up to top
Speaker 14: ten alone with no manager, no agent, no record label.
Speaker 14: And then the last month I got a manager. Now,
Speaker 14: which is super awesome. I don't feel alone and I
Speaker 14: have an awesome booking agent UTA where I'm not having
Speaker 14: to you know, run all those phone calls. I got
Speaker 14: a I got a son, I got a wife. When

Speaker 14: would if it was reversed, And so get a team
Speaker 14: to start helping. This is awesome, but it's also like

Speaker 14: you want everybody to win. You want the person that's
Speaker 14: the club that's having you there, you want them to
Speaker 14: make money. You want to not be broke, and you
Speaker 14: want the fans to enjoy it and not come out
Speaker 14: because I played so many shows where there's like three
Speaker 14: people you know, and you're just like, hi, guys, this
Speaker 14: is for you.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 3: I guess you learn every one of their names.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you do, and but you know what's cool now
Speaker 14: is people come out and they have their backyard shirts on.
Speaker 14: And that's what's been really special is you know that
Speaker 14: says Baldridge and Bonfire's what we call the tour and
Speaker 14: they have their Baldridge and Bonfire shirt on thems like
Speaker 14: you're here when nobody was. You know, it's just a
Speaker 14: different kind of bond with these people.
Speaker 3: Can I suggest a song called He's Somebody's Son?
Speaker 13: I had a lot of people.
Speaker 3: I mean, it just all won to be fair. Go, yeah,
Speaker 3: he's some modest son, didn't have the sing, doesn't hit
Speaker 3: thet doesn't.
Speaker 13: Have a sing.
Speaker 3: You even heard all the lyrics, yet haters.
Speaker 13: Write bring it back.
Speaker 3: I really get in touch with my personal side and
Speaker 3: you guys are like it doesn't hit the same. Yeah, Drew,
Speaker 3: I'm happy for you man.
Speaker 13: Well, thank you.
Speaker 14: And you've been such a big part of this too,
Speaker 14: Like allow me to come on here when you know
Speaker 14: I don't really have.
Speaker 3: You're a total loser. When I found you, I was like,
Speaker 3: what do you need sir?
Speaker 13: But no, this means a lot.
Speaker 14: Since I moved to Nashville, IVE always dreamed of being
Speaker 14: on the Bobby Bone Show. This has been a special
Speaker 14: moment for me to come in here, and you guys
Speaker 14: don't have to allow me to come in here and
Speaker 14: tell my story. And Bob, you've told my story so
Speaker 14: many times and so many of your listeners. I'm just
Speaker 14: very thankful and humbled. And you know, I've had deals
Speaker 14: and I've lost them, and I don't take anything for
Speaker 14: granted anymore of so, like, this is special being in
Speaker 14: here with you guys.
Speaker 3: Today we're gonna play She's Somebody's Daughter. Do you want
Speaker 3: to play like twelve times?
Speaker 13: Just on.
Speaker 3: Repeat?
Speaker 13: Please? Please?
Speaker 14: At least you know once every hour. There we go
Speaker 14: every morning.
Speaker 3: Drew Baldridge, She's Somebody's daughter. Drew, Congratulations on whatever run
Speaker 3: this is. I hope you get your number one. That's amazing.
Speaker 3: Whatever you do next, but don't fall into that trap
Speaker 3: off going. Okay, now I got to do it again.
Speaker 3: There'll be a time for that this week.
Speaker 14: Wet's thank you because it's so it's easy to stress
Speaker 14: out because everybody's like, man, what's next. Hey, you're ringing
Speaker 14: the bell once? How do you do it again? I'm like,
Speaker 14: I don't freaking know. I'll be honest, I don't know
Speaker 14: how we're gonna do it again, but we're gonna try
Speaker 14: and and so you can get caught in that trap.
Speaker 14: But I'm really just trying to enjoy it. Next week,
Speaker 14: I took vacation, me and my wife. We're gonna go
Speaker 14: to the beach for four days and just try to
Speaker 14: you know, if we're number one, great, If not, we're
Speaker 14: just gonna celebrate the journey of.
Speaker 13: This of like, hey, we did this together.
Speaker 3: After you get back stress out exactly, take a few
Speaker 3: days you just enjoy it.
Speaker 8: Are you able to really disconnect?
Speaker 5: Like do you think when you go on vacation next week,
Speaker 5: like you'll be able to truly unplugged.
Speaker 14: I don't know, I'll be honest, I don't know. My
Speaker 14: wife has already said you got you got to, but
Speaker 14: she was like, you're gonna be on the phone so
Speaker 14: much with people saying congrats, congrats, and so I was like,
Speaker 14: at least that's better than like them saying what's next,
Speaker 14: what's next?
Speaker 13: You know, they're like, what are you doing now?
Speaker 14: And and so I think there's gonna have to come
Speaker 14: where I just shut my phone off to really disconnect
Speaker 14: and and just enjoy it, because already it's getting to
Speaker 14: the point where I'm getting a lot of text of
Speaker 14: congrats and I feel bad I'm not being able to respond.
Speaker 3: To what I call them.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm not trying to do that, but but like
Speaker 14: I said, next week, I'm really gonna try. I'm really
Speaker 14: gonna try because my wife deserves that too, and and
Speaker 14: so does my son and so, and I feel like
Speaker 14: we do too, how busy we've been. So I'm gonna
Speaker 14: try to shut it off, but we'll see. I mean,
Speaker 14: it's also fun to get congrats from buddies and and
Speaker 14: I've never had really anybody congratulate me about stuff.
Speaker 16: You know, that's a sad He's like, like me, that
Speaker 16: sounds I would say, what.
Speaker 13: Does mean about?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 13: That sound terrible?
Speaker 3: Then I'm going to do you a special favor and
Speaker 3: I'm not going to text your congrats. Oh well thanks
Speaker 3: you tell him now though, No, just a little gift
Speaker 3: from me to him. I'm just gonna ignore him for
Speaker 3: a while. As everybody else is like, you're the man,
Speaker 3: I'll be like, you know what, I'll take three steps back.
Speaker 13: Tell me the next week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, then I'll be like, what's next. There we go,
Speaker 3: that's cool, man, congratulations. I'm sure I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 3: But yeah, you are an example of what I think
Speaker 3: a lot of artists are going to look at and go, dang,
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about giving it up. But they get to
Speaker 3: see your story because you also had those thoughts, as
Speaker 3: you said, and you didn't and you found a way
Speaker 3: in the ways that other people are going to find
Speaker 3: are not going to be the same. But it does
Speaker 3: show people if you don't quit your work hard and
Speaker 3: you strategize and then you modify your strategy constantly, like
Speaker 3: there is a way, there.
Speaker 13: Is a way.
Speaker 14: And I think that's what's been one of the most
Speaker 14: cool things out of this whole thing is so many
Speaker 14: artists have reached out and be like, dude, this is awesome.
Speaker 14: I'm like, can we go get breakfast. I'm like, one
Speaker 14: hundred percent, let's go do that. Because there's so many
Speaker 14: great artists in Nashville that come here, they get a
Speaker 14: record deal, and then their first song doesn't work or
Speaker 14: their second one.
Speaker 13: Then they don't get to go to radio again.
Speaker 14: Or they're just dropped or they're lost, or they become
Speaker 14: songwriters and they still have that artist drive. And it's
Speaker 14: been awesome to give some people some hope of saying like, no, man,
Speaker 14: you have the right song that you believe in that
Speaker 14: you'll put you know, or give it a real shot,
Speaker 14: a real chance, put your whole heart into it.
Speaker 13: It can work.
Speaker 14: And that's what's I think so cool and so cool
Speaker 14: for our community and our whole town and even radio
Speaker 14: it's awesome, like, hey, you have a song, it's working
Speaker 14: and people love it. Radio will play it, and you
Speaker 14: just got to believe in it, and you know, take
Speaker 14: a whole year of your life and you know, we
Speaker 14: send it to radio August twenty first of last year,
Speaker 14: so it's been almost a full year. But it's been
Speaker 14: fun to have a lot of other artists reach out
Speaker 14: and be able to give some love to them.
Speaker 3: At Drew Baldridge Music, the linked there for toward eights.
Speaker 3: You can just I don't get I don't guess you
Speaker 3: get paid for Instagram, though, do you?

Speaker 3: and over again and put money in your pocket.

Speaker 1: with Morgan number two.
Speaker 2: Speaking of movies, these are some that freaked us out
Speaker 2: as kids. Now, these are not just like scary movies.
Speaker 2: There's some in here, but some of us have really
Speaker 2: normal movies that probably didn't freak anybody else out but us.
Speaker 2: And this was all inspired by the new Beetle Juice
Speaker 2: movie coming out. One of the actors was talking about
Speaker 2: how Beetlejuice used to scare her Number five.
Speaker 4: As a kid.
Speaker 3: I loved Beetlejuice. Michael Keaton right with you, They like,
Speaker 3: come on, that was awesome, and so they're remaking it.
Speaker 3: And Jenna Ortega, who was Wednesday right on Netflix, so
Speaker 3: she's in it, and she was like, she was scared
Speaker 3: of everything, including the original Beetle Juice movie. Was anybody
Speaker 3: as a kid scared of the Beetle Juice movie that
Speaker 3: freak anybody out?
Speaker 17: Now?
Speaker 3: That was funny me too, And I freaked out at
Speaker 3: every movie now was there a movie as a kid
Speaker 3: that probably freaked you out more than it should because
Speaker 3: mine was Grimlins. The first time I watched Grimlins, I
Speaker 3: didn't want to feed anything, humans, animals, anything near midnight.
Speaker 3: That movie freaked me out so bad that I didn't
Speaker 3: like scary movies. I still don't like scary movies. No
Speaker 3: horror for me. But Gremlins was the one that scarred
Speaker 3: me as a kid. And when we had dogs, I
Speaker 3: would the closer I got to midnight, I don't want
Speaker 3: to feed them, just just in case they did what
Speaker 3: the Gremlins did, which they turned from Grimlins, like what
Speaker 3: were they called it?
Speaker 4: Guys, the gizmo would turn into.
Speaker 3: Like a crazy They haven't remade that movie because that.
Speaker 4: Was that's pretty good.
Speaker 7: I was great movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that mine's Gremlins. Amy, any movie is a
Speaker 3: kid that's scard you candy Man, that's a real scary one.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I mean it was scary, so it should have scarred me.
Speaker 5: But mind mon even scary like go in a bathroom
Speaker 5: with a mirror and you know, and then of course
Speaker 5: my sister and her friends they would do that and
Speaker 5: be like Amy, Common would be like say, candy Man
Speaker 5: in the mirrors and it just freaked me out. Anytime
Speaker 5: I would have to go to the bathroom after that
Speaker 5: in the dark.
Speaker 4: What do you say, candy man, like three times and.
Speaker 8: You turn or something.
Speaker 13: Yeah, don't do it.
Speaker 3: It's not real. Lunchbox. Any movie as a kid that
Speaker 3: there was a couple scar The Stuff. Oh, that was
Speaker 3: the worst movie scary about yogurt.
Speaker 10: Hold on, hold on, you're telling me, as a six
Speaker 10: or seven year old you watched that you wouldn't be
Speaker 10: terrified to eat yogurt?
Speaker 3: And like you, I thought all our listeners the quick
Speaker 3: story of what the Stuff is about?
Speaker 7: The Stuff is the scariest movie of all time.
Speaker 10: And it is like this yogurt the government makes it
Speaker 10: to take over your body, and it's in this one
Speaker 10: town and these two kids.
Speaker 7: This one kid's like, I'm not going to eat it.
Speaker 7: Whole family'es like you will eat the yogurt and he's.
Speaker 10: Like putting it down the toilet and it comes alive
Speaker 10: and tries to eat you.
Speaker 7: Terrifying as a kid. Another one, Children of the.
Speaker 10: Corn, Oh, that was legitimately scar my goodness. Anytime we'd
Speaker 10: drive my corn, I'm oh, go go goat. So scary
Speaker 10: all Corn You're Out, Nightmare on Elm Street scary, But I.
Speaker 3: Would say those were actually scary movie.
Speaker 7: I'm just telling you you don't.
Speaker 3: Juice to her was like, I don't watch it to
Speaker 3: freak me out. Gremlins to me, I don't watch it
Speaker 3: a freaking out like yours are like normal, healthy. You
Speaker 3: shouldn't be watching those as kids anyway.
Speaker 7: Oh, Keith may just watch them.
Speaker 8: I'm trying to think of a normal teeth.
Speaker 3: He didn't call teeth, Keith. No anything for you.
Speaker 4: You guys, remember Christine is Scary is Stephen King movie.
Speaker 6: And it was like an old fifties car that like
Speaker 6: came alive and it would start with like an oldie
Speaker 6: song like twisted and shout, and then the lights came
Speaker 6: on and.
Speaker 4: It killed people.
Speaker 7: Dude.
Speaker 4: That freaked me out. Man, that car would just drive
Speaker 4: on its own. Dude, just run over people. It's like yogurt, yogurt, no.
Speaker 3: Way, Morgan anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mine was Casper.
Speaker 3: Now see now we're talking the friendly ghost. Heck, yeah, man,
Speaker 3: he was friendly, but are.
Speaker 8: You still a ghost?
Speaker 2: So after I watched it, I thought there were a
Speaker 2: ghosts everywhere, and I thought a Casper is gonna pop
Speaker 2: up every time I was walking around the house and
Speaker 2: I was like, is there Casper?
Speaker 5: Is this real?
Speaker 7: I thought it was legit?
Speaker 3: How friendly is he really? Yeah?
Speaker 8: He wasn't friend.
Speaker 4: He's friendly, he'pposedly, but he can get anywhere.
Speaker 3: Completely agree. I felt on a Casper RAYMONDO. Anybody with
Speaker 3: the freak jaz as a kid, mine's kind of embarrassing.
Speaker 3: But Jumanji. Now we're talking with the Ouiji board.
Speaker 18: And my mom told me how evil it was, and
Speaker 18: she said, if your friends ever tried to do that
Speaker 18: Ouiji board, don't because that's when the evil spirits come out.
Speaker 18: And so my friend it was super popular. It made
Speaker 18: it in middle school. So they would all grab a
Speaker 18: Wiji board and I just go in the other room.
Speaker 18: I told mom, I wasn't a part of it.
Speaker 13: They did it, so.
Speaker 3: You'd let yourself out, you'd shug yourself out if they wuiji. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was very terrified of it. We never wiji boarded.
Speaker 3: We were too scared of that stuff in general, Like,
Speaker 3: we didn't do that. But it's funny that Ray would
Speaker 3: leave the room as his friends did it. Thank you guys.
Speaker 3: You guys are all normal. We're all screwed.
Speaker 11: Up, that's true.
Speaker 3: We let normal movies mess with their heads. Let's do
Speaker 3: Bailey Zimmerman. Where it is Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 1: It's the best Bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 2: A listener called in and she's the reason why we
Speaker 2: did this segment. Right here. We had some scams that
Speaker 2: we've all fallen for over the course of the years,
Speaker 2: but she wanted us to talk about the worst scams
Speaker 2: each of us on the show had fallen for. And
Speaker 2: there's some really funny ones. And you may think it's
Speaker 2: Amy that has the worst one, but she wasn't.
Speaker 1: Number four.
Speaker 3: Let's go to Jarra and Florida. Hey, Jara, you're on
Speaker 3: the show. What's going on?
Speaker 17: Hio? Okay? So I just have a question, almost wondering
Speaker 17: if you guys could do a segment of the worst
Speaker 17: scams that he's fallen for. And the reason I say
Speaker 17: this because remember like a year ago when Amy fell
Speaker 17: for the scam. I think it was like a prisoner
Speaker 17: had just gotten out and he came to the door
Speaker 17: and he was selling Amy something and Amy cried with him,
Speaker 17: and Amy gains the person her credit pard number.
Speaker 19: Yeah, and then she bought the magazines that never really happened,
Speaker 19: wasn't magazine never really happened? Yeah, I think we could
Speaker 19: spend an hour on Amy's yeah alone.
Speaker 8: That one right there is probably my worst.
Speaker 3: You think, what about the cat? Oh yeah, Amy bought
Speaker 3: like this really expensive cat, but hyperde h it was
Speaker 3: a deposit. Yeah, she gave a deposit and then then
Speaker 3: she never got the cat, and then we went after
Speaker 3: him on the show and all of a sudden she
Speaker 3: got her deposit back, but like they weren't going to
Speaker 3: give it back to her.
Speaker 7: No chance. That was the biggest scam ever she had
Speaker 7: scam for that.
Speaker 8: They were in Louisiana.
Speaker 3: That was a tough one. Yeah, I mean I've been
Speaker 3: very fortunate as far as like scams and links for me.
Speaker 3: Somebody used my credit card a bow Jangles last week
Speaker 3: and I canceled it immediately. Really yeah, you were gone,
Speaker 3: And I was like, some is my credit card a
Speaker 3: bo Jangles? Canceled? Canceled, cancel, But I think my number
Speaker 3: just got out and I have LifeLock.
Speaker 4: No one went to bow Jangles. Your wife didn't go
Speaker 4: to bo Janles.
Speaker 3: I hit her up. You have Bojangles? Nope, I canceled
Speaker 3: a card. Uh so I think my lunchbox back in
Speaker 3: the day day maybe was the first one to get
Speaker 3: semi scam because he clicked the link. He thought he
Speaker 3: was on the news.
Speaker 7: Hey, look, you were on the news. What I was
Speaker 7: on the news? No, it wasn't me, but.
Speaker 3: It's just a link. They were fished.
Speaker 4: Oh they got him good, like trying to get.
Speaker 8: Him the biggest. That doesn't come off as scam. Scam,
Speaker 8: but it definitely.
Speaker 5: Ray got scammed when he thought he was modeling for
Speaker 5: Express and he showed up and took pictures in a basement.
Speaker 8: That's a scam.
Speaker 3: Different a good job of putting it right now, because
Speaker 3: it's good off you, because this is the worst, definitely
Speaker 3: the worst. Ray was approached by a photographer. It was like, hey,
Speaker 3: I'm shooting for Express the store in the mall. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and so would come down in my basement and Ray
Speaker 3: got in his underwear and liked on the bed and
Speaker 3: took all these pictures and just his underwear. They never
Speaker 3: ever surfaced. They weird, never made the magazine, never was
Speaker 3: in a pamphlet. The guy. We don't even know if
Speaker 3: the guy was actually a photographer or if the camera
Speaker 3: had film.
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm sure it had film documenting.
Speaker 3: Looking back ray, Yeah, pretty like do you hate kind
Speaker 3: of hate that that happened for sure? Scammed? Yeah, and
Speaker 3: it was a learning experience.
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, what does this mean?
Speaker 3: Like you were there like naked basically.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 18: And then after the fact I did realize that's the
Speaker 18: reason he wanted me to drink, you know.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, he wanted you to drink.
Speaker 18: Well, he said there's a Fridge're gonna have drinks. You're
Speaker 18: more comfortable when you're drinking.
Speaker 3: And so how unclothed did you get my underwear? And
Speaker 3: like you were laying in the bed like spread eagle,
Speaker 3: like were you like doing like on all fours? Like?
Speaker 3: How was he having you modeled the underwear.
Speaker 7: Normally they wanted to.
Speaker 18: I guess he was sitting there trying to promote it
Speaker 18: as a lounge wear. So but all this stuff now
Speaker 18: this that everybody's wearing, all this relaxed fit clothing.
Speaker 3: I was the start of it years ago with this guy.
Speaker 18: And he said people are going to now be more
Speaker 18: comfortable and underwear and briefs and stuff like that on
Speaker 18: their couch.
Speaker 3: So that's how it was modeling. And so you were
Speaker 3: wearing briefs on a couch and was he getting really
Speaker 3: close to you, like take a picture like close ups?
Speaker 18: Yeah, it was for a magazine, but it was it
Speaker 18: was You can't argue that, but yes, yes.
Speaker 4: Was there anyone else there? Ray like it was just
Speaker 4: you two, like.
Speaker 3: A lighting director?
Speaker 18: No, it's just him, But he did say there were
Speaker 18: other people getting filmed later in the sh.
Speaker 3: Was there any chance that you were changing and there
Speaker 3: were pictures taking a view that you didn't know? Eh?
Speaker 18: I think that was before webcams and secrets stuff like that. Okay,
Speaker 18: I think that's been the leader in the clubhouse of
Speaker 18: in the past. How we yere, Eddie, have any you've
Speaker 18: been scammed? Nah?
Speaker 4: I just remember when we were moving to Nashville.
Speaker 6: I saw a house for rent for like two hundred
Speaker 6: dollars a month and it was awesome and it was huge,
Speaker 6: and then when I called them, they were like, no,
Speaker 6: this is not for rent and it ended up being yeah,
Speaker 6: Nigerian prince. So but I called the real owner and
Speaker 6: they're like, this is not for rent.
Speaker 3: So this is you were interested in the scam?
Speaker 4: Oh? I was ready to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds pretty fun.
Speaker 4: I'd had a good deal, yeah, but I didn't fall
Speaker 4: for it.
Speaker 3: Lunchbox had seen a new one. What was it?
Speaker 10: I got a text message and it says, hello, my
Speaker 10: name is Evelyn Thornton and I'm a recruiter.
Speaker 7: It's simply hired.
Speaker 10: We offer full time and part time jobs, and you've
Speaker 10: had your resume sent to us and recommended by several
Speaker 10: online recruiters, so we'd like to offer you a part
Speaker 10: time job or full time, depending on what you're interested in.
Speaker 10: The work is simple and all you needed is a
Speaker 10: smartphone computer to get the job done.
Speaker 7: Daily wages range from two D and stuff. But like,
Speaker 7: but then it clicked, you click a link?
Speaker 3: Yeah did you click it?
Speaker 10: No, because here's my thing. I don't have a resume,
Speaker 10: so I knew that wasn't for me. But I thought
Speaker 10: if you were looking for a job and you would
Speaker 10: set your resume out, you would think, oh, man, that's awesome.
Speaker 10: Someone has contacted me about a job.
Speaker 3: Or this actually could be a thing and they just
Speaker 3: have the wrong number down.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they're shooting their shot. Maybe they're spreading
Speaker 5: the net.
Speaker 3: Wait, this wasn't a scam. It's more of a catfish.
Speaker 3: I got catfish and I was like, twenty six, Oh,
Speaker 3: this I thought it was a guest jenes model who
Speaker 3: wanted to say what up? And like I talked to her,
Speaker 3: but a webcam was always broken. Breathe yeah, and then
Speaker 3: turns out as a dude who was like getting money
Speaker 3: from other men.
Speaker 4: Didn't make the newsers the news make story.
Speaker 3: And I luckily didn't mean I didn't pay him that much,
Speaker 3: but so it was just that much, no nothing, but
Speaker 3: I brought him on the air. I think it was
Speaker 3: a girl to prove to them. I was like, guys,
Speaker 3: you'll never believe somebody actually likes me a guest jeans model,
Speaker 3: and they were like, no way. And then we put
Speaker 3: her on and she came on the show sound a
Speaker 3: drunkest crap came on the show, And turned out it
Speaker 3: was like a really small man who had made a
Speaker 3: lot of money off the sea.
Speaker 8: I mean, lots of people we know.
Speaker 3: We're pretty scared.
Speaker 8: You got caught up in that.
Speaker 3: I think it caught up because nothing happened to me.
Speaker 8: You were in it.
Speaker 5: Though he got mad when we were like Bobby, we
Speaker 5: were questioning this guest Jean's model being into.
Speaker 3: Because nobody ever wanted to go on oh yes, And
Speaker 3: I was like I wasn't mad at you. I was
Speaker 3: so happy for me because it was like you.
Speaker 8: Were defensive, we were questioning.
Speaker 3: I was like, I can't there's finally a girl that
Speaker 3: likes me, and you guys are fight That's what it was.
Speaker 3: I felt so insulted. This is the story here from
Speaker 3: twenty ten. They had been in contact for months from
Speaker 3: ABC News when the woman who identified herself as bre
Speaker 3: Condon made the first request for money. Mark Puelo said
Speaker 3: they met online exchange telephone calls and emails. Brie had
Speaker 3: sent pictures of herself, but they'd never met in person.
Speaker 3: According to the AFFI David, he had sent ten thousand
Speaker 3: dollars to bre Condon. Luckily I was broke in I'll
Speaker 3: be honest with you because that might have been a
Speaker 3: different story then. But yeah, I was just so insulted
Speaker 3: because there were no girls that wanted to date me,
Speaker 3: and finally there was a model, and they were like
Speaker 3: there's no chance, and I was like, you guys are
Speaker 3: so mean, and there was a little man. Oh it's
Speaker 3: a little man. But yeah, Jar, we've been through it
Speaker 3: a little bit over here.
Speaker 17: Well, thank you for so much for sharing your story.
Speaker 3: You brought up a lot of hurt, a lot of pasts,
Speaker 3: a lot of hurt that this is kind of still there.
Speaker 3: I hope you have a great day, Jar Thank you
Speaker 3: for listening to the show. You all right, see you later.
Speaker 1: It's the best Bits of the Week with Morgan.
Speaker 2: Number two Thomas rat stop by the studio. He has
Speaker 2: a new album out and it was super fun to
Speaker 2: hear about all the new music. Not only that, he
Speaker 2: also talked about his wife Lauren in the beginning stages
Speaker 2: of their relationship. Also, they had just went to Africa
Speaker 2: and took their daughter for her first trip. So really
Speaker 2: fun stuff here with Thomas rhtt In's studio.
Speaker 1: Number three on the Bobby Bones Show. Now Thomas rhett.
Speaker 3: His new album is out today. When you do a
Speaker 3: new record, it's don't know. Do you try to always
Speaker 3: present a slightly new version of yourself or is it
Speaker 3: just you're a different person because you've actually matured with
Speaker 3: age and experience and it just comes out a new
Speaker 3: person of yourself, like a version maybe both.
Speaker 20: I mean I feel like I try to write you
Speaker 20: know where I'm at in life, and I think right
Speaker 20: now I'm in a fun season of life, like all
Speaker 20: my kids are in school, for the first time ever,
Speaker 20: and so I feel like Lauren and I just kind
Speaker 20: of are freer these days. And so I think I
Speaker 20: think whatever I'm kind of going through in life sort
Speaker 20: of translates in music. But I think when it comes
Speaker 20: to making records, I feel like it's always trying to
Speaker 20: be progressive while remaining authentic.
Speaker 3: The album is about a woman, and we're going to
Speaker 3: play some songs out as we talk, But Ray, would
Speaker 3: you give me an overdrive?
Speaker 20: I would say that this song is a pretty accurate
Speaker 20: story of my high school days.
Speaker 11: If you will, do you have your Do you have
Speaker 11: your first truck that you ever drove? Anybody have a
Speaker 11: first vehicle that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yours?
Speaker 13: I do.
Speaker 11: I bought it back.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I remember when you did that.
Speaker 11: I bought it back. And so I just I don't know.
Speaker 20: When I hear this song, I smell you know, Abercrombie
Speaker 20: and Fitch Fierce immediately, and I go straight back to
Speaker 20: like nineties, two thousands, all rock, and.
Speaker 11: I just I don't know.
Speaker 20: I just can envision myself going to pick up Lauren
Speaker 20: in that truck, and I don't know. I love nostalgia,
Speaker 20: like I'm a sucker for cheesy high school football films
Speaker 20: and you know, things that take me back to younger years,
Speaker 20: and so this kind of checks all those boxes for me.
Speaker 3: When you and Lauren were first dating, because I saw
Speaker 3: the picture that one of you guys had posted recently,
Speaker 3: it was like at a football game. Maybe it's been
Speaker 3: posted a couple of times. Yeah, sure, did you guys
Speaker 3: say outwardly we know we're gonna get married we're so
Speaker 3: in love? Because I'm sure that cycled in and out.
Speaker 3: And but was that always the thing with you two?
Speaker 13: For her?
Speaker 11: No, for me?
Speaker 3: You say that to her like as a kid, I.
Speaker 11: Don't, I don't think.
Speaker 20: So we dated a little bit when we were like
Speaker 20: sixteen years old, and you know, dated other people for
Speaker 20: a long we didn't really get back together until we
Speaker 20: were like twenty one, twenty two.
Speaker 3: When you were dating at sixteen, though, did you feel
Speaker 3: like this is the person I'm gonna marry.
Speaker 11: I mean I probably thought about it, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that just it just feels like in hindsight, you
Speaker 3: guys have always been together.
Speaker 20: Even for sure, it feels that way old. I mean
Speaker 20: we kind of even when we were dating other people,
Speaker 20: we actually still double dated together. So like what, yeah,
Speaker 20: you mean you went out, like we always remained really
Speaker 20: good friends. And so I was dating somebody else and
Speaker 20: she was dating somebody else. We would go to the
Speaker 20: movie together, like go to Sonic together, like you know,
Speaker 20: do the thing. So we always remained like really close.
Speaker 3: Sounds a bit fishy, I feel what fish.
Speaker 5: Whatever girl you've had with you how to be like,
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, she's totally into this other girl.
Speaker 20: There was There was a long time period where I
Speaker 20: seriously did I completely had blocked it out of my mind.
Speaker 20: But I think like later on, when I turned like,
Speaker 20: you know, sophomore junior in college, I was just like, man,
Speaker 20: you know, but I kind of thought she was going
Speaker 20: to get married to somebody else. And we actually see
Speaker 20: both of these people on a regular basis.
Speaker 11: The girl that I dated, I see her at church
Speaker 11: every Sunday, and uh.
Speaker 20: And one of the guys or one of the one
Speaker 20: of the guys that Lauren dated, he comes to all
Speaker 20: of our like Halloween parties, Christmas parties, all the stuff.
Speaker 11: So we see a lot more of like the people
Speaker 11: that Lauren dated than I dated. So probably shows to
Speaker 11: her character. She probably dated better people than me.
Speaker 3: You guys have been together, even married for a while. Yeah,
Speaker 3: how does she feel when you create something new and
Speaker 3: you bring it home and you're like, check out this
Speaker 3: song because it's even for my wife, And I say,
Speaker 3: my wife loves me and supports me in every way. Sure,
Speaker 3: And we were talking about my wife doesn't listen to
Speaker 3: the show. She just does not care. She's like I
Speaker 3: live with the show for sure. So I would say,
Speaker 3: I would say it's similar.
Speaker 20: I think like early on, she was with me a ton,
Speaker 20: like before we got married. You know, Lauren graduated as
Speaker 20: a nurse from the University of Tennessee, and when we
Speaker 20: were going into marriage counseling, our counselor was like, I think,
Speaker 20: y'all just need to like really be together your first
Speaker 20: year of marriage. And so she was with me, like
Speaker 20: with you know, seven other dudes on the bus, and
Speaker 20: back then we were playing like two hundred and eighty
Speaker 20: three hundred and something plus shows. So I mean she
Speaker 20: got a full feel like twenty twelve, twenty thirteen on
Speaker 20: the road.
Speaker 11: But yeah, I used to play her like every.
Speaker 20: Song that I would write, And now I don't even
Speaker 20: really play her demos anymore. I wait till they're finished
Speaker 20: because Lauren gets like severe demo demo sad. Yeah, I
Speaker 20: remember when I wrote die Happy Man. I played her
Speaker 20: the demo and then we went to the studio to
Speaker 20: cut it. She was like, I hate this version, and
Speaker 20: I was like, well, I can't put two am you
Speaker 20: know bus bus vocal out on the radio. But anyway,
Speaker 20: I've gotten the point where I'll finish the record now
Speaker 20: and then I'll play it all for So.
Speaker 3: What about this record sonically musically? Then people's ears are
Speaker 3: they going to feel a bit different?
Speaker 13: Man?
Speaker 11: I worked with a different producer on this project.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you explain what that because again
Speaker 3: I think we all know we're in that world of
Speaker 3: what a producer even is for sure? What is that?
Speaker 11: That's kind of all over the place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, What does that mean when you say work
Speaker 3: with a new producer? How does that affect you and
Speaker 3: what you're doing while you're in there.
Speaker 20: I think that different producers use, you know, different sounds,
Speaker 20: They come from different backgrounds, their influencers are different, and
Speaker 20: so on this record. Dan Huff remained a constant on
Speaker 20: this project. But my buddy Julian and Benetta. I don't
Speaker 20: know if you think you know that Julian, but he started,
Speaker 20: you know, maybe fifteen twenty years ago, and his first
Speaker 20: big project that he worked on was like the One
Speaker 20: Direction albums, and so like grew grew up in La,
Speaker 20: did the whole LA thing. And now this year he
Speaker 20: produced my record, produced the Sabrina Carpenter record and the
Speaker 20: Teddy Swims project.
Speaker 11: And so I feel like his ability to.
Speaker 20: Kind of shift in between like all those different things
Speaker 20: while having the wealth of knowledge that he has, he
Speaker 20: kind of just came in and like, chackallenge me in
Speaker 20: a bunch of different ways, musically, lyrically, sonically.
Speaker 3: Challenge like if you have something that you like and
Speaker 3: he's like, does he say, I think that can be better?
Speaker 3: Like do you allow someone to challenge you?
Speaker 20: Like, oh, dude, hundred percent. We do this thing called
Speaker 20: the Firing Squad with each other. So me and him
Speaker 20: and the couple people will sit around. I don't know
Speaker 20: if y'all do this, but you should. We sit around
Speaker 20: and we just pass the you know, the little speaker
Speaker 20: around and we just play songs and we absolutely go
Speaker 20: hard in the paint on what we either like or
Speaker 20: can't stand about the song. So I feel like in
Speaker 20: this right like every single song went through so many
Speaker 20: rounds of like why do you like this? Why do
Speaker 20: you not like this? I love the first verse, I
Speaker 20: hate the second verse. The bridge could be better. So
Speaker 20: I think having the time this go around, because I
Speaker 20: had such a light touring year this year, it allowed
Speaker 20: me to kind of like keep going back over to
Speaker 20: Julian's house in tweaking melody and tweaking verses. And I've
Speaker 20: never done that before. It's kind of always been like, well,
Speaker 20: the song is done, that's what it's going to be.
Speaker 20: A lot of these songs went through a bunch of
Speaker 20: different rounds of just like fixing and tweaking until we
Speaker 20: both felt like it was right.
Speaker 3: So will you ever sing? And somebody like Julian or
Speaker 3: whomever you trust, is like, do it again? That is
Speaker 3: not it and you're like, no, I feel like that's
Speaker 3: like and they push you and then maybe you hit
Speaker 3: a spot, a new spot, or maybe you have to
Speaker 3: chase the place you don't feel comfortable and does that happen?
Speaker 20: It happened a lot on this project because I feel
Speaker 20: like I really found my voice and I feel like
Speaker 20: I know how I sing.
Speaker 11: But he challenged me in a.
Speaker 20: Bunch of different ways on this record, like on Boots,
Speaker 20: which is like I think track maybe twelve or twelve
Speaker 20: or thirteen. I think I told you this the other night,
Speaker 20: but I sing it like me and he was just like,
Speaker 20: I feel like your vocal is boring, And I was like,
Speaker 20: what do you mean to do? And he was like,
Speaker 20: I just want you to channel Elvis and Dwight Yoakam
Speaker 20: right here, even if we don't use it, I just
Speaker 20: want to hear what it sounds like. And so I
Speaker 20: did it as a joke, and then I started living
Speaker 20: with that, and all of a sudden, it became so
Speaker 20: much more cooler. It just became cooler to me because
Speaker 20: it was almost like I was playing a character for
Speaker 20: the first time. I want a song like Can't Love
Speaker 20: You Anymore? Like I always sing really full voice, and
Speaker 20: you challenged me to sing in kind of like this
Speaker 20: weird not whisper but not yelling kind of voice, and
Speaker 20: so I feel like I feel like on a lot
Speaker 20: of the tracks on this record, he kind of encouraged
Speaker 20: me to kind of sing differently on a lot of
Speaker 20: different things to kind of just keep making the record
Speaker 20: interesting as you went down down the project.
Speaker 3: So Ray, I want to hear a little bit of
Speaker 3: boots that he was talking about.
Speaker 20: Could have easily gone in there and just gone okay
Speaker 20: to talk to the session players. Let's record a nineties
Speaker 20: honky talk sound in song, and I'll sing you like me.
Speaker 20: But then you start tweaking and you kind of get
Speaker 20: more into this like rockabilly land, and then compaired with
Speaker 20: like this, you know, kind of like zezy top, like
Speaker 20: a hole, you know, like just kind of just getting
Speaker 20: just more into into the song, and it just made
Speaker 20: it so much more interesting to me.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna play which is the song that the
Speaker 3: record is kind of named after, about a woman, So
Speaker 3: give me a little something here before I go into this,
Speaker 3: like what's I don't know when I talk about that?
Speaker 3: What do you think?
Speaker 11: What do you say with a song something a by
Speaker 11: a woman?
Speaker 20: Yeah, I feel like it is the song maybe I
Speaker 20: think something about a woman in boots are the ones
Speaker 20: that feel like the most left of center songs on
Speaker 20: the project, really, I feel like they do. And if
Speaker 20: you know me, like I'm a giant like Rolling Rolling
Speaker 20: Stones fan, like big Steely Dan fan, and I feel
Speaker 20: like I was trying to channel my inter Mick Jagger
Speaker 20: on this track. We wrote this song at like two
Speaker 20: o'clock in the morning on the road, and once we
Speaker 20: had finished it, I was like, I don't know where
Speaker 20: this goes, Like, does it go on this project? Does
Speaker 20: it come as a one off? And the more I
Speaker 20: listen to it, the more it just kind of became
Speaker 20: my favorite thing. It's the one that when I sit
Speaker 20: down with a guitar, it's like the first thing I
Speaker 20: start playing.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna play it.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 3: Here's something about a Woman Thomas Htz here, He's got
Speaker 3: an album out that's called About a Woman. It's out today.
Speaker 3: Go go stream it, save it and then stream it later.
Speaker 3: You can't even stream it right now. Save it right
Speaker 3: now and then stream it later.
Speaker 1: On the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Thomas Rhett.
Speaker 3: When you record an album, do you do it all?
Speaker 3: And like you go and you lock yourself in a
Speaker 3: studio for four days? Is it different every time you do?
Speaker 3: Sometimes it takes months? Like this record, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Do you record all the track?
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't understand how this works.
Speaker 20: Yeah, this record was obviously was different than any record
Speaker 20: I've ever done. During COVID, I taught myself how to
Speaker 20: like record my vocal at my house and so I
Speaker 20: feel like when I would used to go record songs,
Speaker 20: it would always be like, Okay, we're going to block
Speaker 20: seven days to go to your producer's house or to
Speaker 20: the studio and do a gajillion takes of a song
Speaker 20: and whatever. But I kind of felt like doing it
Speaker 20: in my studio, like in my basement at home, Like
Speaker 20: I just felt like I could try more without anyone watching.
Speaker 20: And so I would just like literally just compile, compile,
Speaker 20: and compile, and then I would shoot it over to
Speaker 20: Julian and he would do all the comping. Uh me,
Speaker 20: like when you sing a song like ten times in
Speaker 20: a row, you kind of like go through and you
Speaker 20: get you kind of get to pick the best pieces
Speaker 20: of the verse or get the you know, pick the
Speaker 20: best pieces of the chorus.
Speaker 11: And so I could never comp my vocal.
Speaker 20: I would I would go absolutely crazy doing that, but
Speaker 20: there are some people that are so good at it.
Speaker 20: But yeah, I mean we would go in and track,
Speaker 20: you know, with a live band, and we would take
Speaker 20: kind of the raw pieces of it and kind of
Speaker 20: we did mostly subtracting, which is interesting because I always
Speaker 20: feel like in my music, I'm I'm one of those
Speaker 20: people that just always likes to add and add and add.
Speaker 20: You know, if there's two part harmony, let's make it four,
Speaker 20: you know what I mean. And I feel like Julian
Speaker 20: and Dan did a good job on this record. It
Speaker 20: really just like subtracting, so kind of just taking the
Speaker 20: bones and just making what needed to be there stay there.
Speaker 20: So I feel like there's on this record there's more
Speaker 20: space than there's ever been on my projects, which kind
Speaker 20: of terrified me in a way because space freaks me out.
Speaker 20: Like even when I'm playing shows, if like we end
Speaker 20: a song and like my drummer has to change his
Speaker 20: snare drum er, we have like guitar changes or whatever,
Speaker 20: I start to panic because I feel like we just
Speaker 20: need to get into the next song as fast as
Speaker 20: humanly possible. But I've kind of learned how to embrace
Speaker 20: the space on this project.
Speaker 3: So do you ever hear any flaws in your old records?
Speaker 3: That's your fault? I mean yeah, Like and you're like,
Speaker 3: oh man, I can't believe that five records ago, Like
Speaker 3: I missed that a little. Do you ever hear that
Speaker 3: or purposely leave a flaw in because I can think
Speaker 3: of a couple famous songs oh yeah, not even yours,
Speaker 3: like James Blunt, you're beautiful at that beginning part. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: hey can you count me in? There are a lot
Speaker 3: of those little any of that on your records where
Speaker 3: they either left it.
Speaker 20: I've always I've always really loved flaw on albums, Like
Speaker 20: I think probably my favorite reference would be like one
Speaker 20: of the first couple led Zeppelin albums, like John Bonham
Speaker 20: is the reason I ever wanted to play drums, and
Speaker 20: so like when you listen to those records, you can
Speaker 20: hear his like kick drum pedal squeaking, you know, in
Speaker 20: the microphone or whatever. And today you would you would
Speaker 20: be able to just like take that out. But I
Speaker 20: think I think flaw is what makes you human, you
Speaker 20: know what I'm saying. And so there's definitely sometimes when
Speaker 20: I listen down to a vocal or like my voice
Speaker 20: cracked or my voice broke, but.
Speaker 3: It got a record though that made it, and you
Speaker 3: didn't catch it until it's like fully produced.
Speaker 20: No, because I listened to these songs way too many
Speaker 20: times not to catch that stuff. But I think I
Speaker 20: definitely look back at records and I go, man, that
Speaker 20: record could have done without five or six of those songs,
Speaker 20: you know what I mean, Because I do think we
Speaker 20: kind of live in an age where it's like more
Speaker 20: is better all the time, content music, whatever, and so
Speaker 20: like on this record, like even just putting fourteen in
Speaker 20: this project freaked me out because I was like, everybody
Speaker 20: is putting a gajillion songs on their project and they're releasing.
Speaker 11: Like three projects a year.
Speaker 20: But yeah, I definitely look back at my older records
Speaker 20: and I'm like, man, those could have easily been eleven
Speaker 20: songs and not eighteen.
Speaker 3: There's I think of were you a Nirvana fan ever? Yes,
Speaker 3: but not miss you.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 11: I was a Nirvana fan, but probably not as big
Speaker 11: as you were.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's big. I'm obviously a little older too. But
Speaker 3: there's a song Pollie where it's like Polly says, there
Speaker 3: back hurts, but he jumps in. He should have waited
Speaker 3: four and he jumped in it two. And I listened
Speaker 3: to the producer who was in Garbage, who yeah, is
Speaker 3: very famous producer, and he was talking about how he
Speaker 3: just jumped in early and they left it in Like
Speaker 3: I love sure those instances of it just seems normal now. Yeah,
Speaker 3: for sure, here these famous songs, but they left like, well.
Speaker 20: Those are the things, those are the things that you
Speaker 20: can't wait to, like scream at a concert.
Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 20: Yeah, like a hidden tracks used to be a rad thing.
Speaker 20: It was like, I don't I don't know that that
Speaker 20: our generation has the capacity to wait sixty seconds after
Speaker 20: the last song is over.
Speaker 3: And we would see, now how long a song is
Speaker 3: and it would end at three and be like, why
Speaker 3: is this strike seven minutes? Because I remember like hard
Speaker 3: Candy from County Crows on the last I would hold
Speaker 3: down this fast forwards on the CD right and then
Speaker 3: it would hear oh no said and it was Joni
Speaker 3: Mitchell and it ended up later being them with the
Speaker 3: Vanessa Carlton. Yeah, paved Paradi I has to put up.
Speaker 3: But that was the hidden track and I was like,
Speaker 3: this is the coolest thing ever. Yeah, hidden tracks were
Speaker 3: so legit.
Speaker 11: We need to bring them back.
Speaker 3: What about like backward masking? You ever hear about that
Speaker 3: where you play the song backwards and people would be like,
Speaker 3: you'd hear this, you'd heart and people be like, I
Speaker 3: swear he just said the devil's wearing jeans. He the
Speaker 3: devil's wearing jeans. What do you listen to whenever not new,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put you there. But when it's you just
Speaker 3: are going to like relax. If you're like grill out
Speaker 3: in the back and you got to put something on
Speaker 3: that you love, but you don't have to spend a
Speaker 3: lot of attention to like what is your what's your songs?
Speaker 3: What's your music?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 20: I'm kind of an so I feel like when we're
Speaker 20: like cooking at the house or whatever, I'm a I
Speaker 20: just put on Frank Sinatra radio. There's something about the fifties.
Speaker 20: I don't know what it is, but it puts me
Speaker 20: in a very joyous mood. So fifties music, I think,
Speaker 20: or yacht rock.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, right, yeah, yeah, when the big ballads come
Speaker 3: on yacht rock, that's pretty fun stuff.
Speaker 11: Pretty awesome.
Speaker 3: Do you guys go to Africa?
Speaker 11: We did. We were there for three weeks.
Speaker 3: How long is that flight?
Speaker 11: Which one?
Speaker 20: I mean my family went over to London to try
Speaker 20: to adapt at the time with all my kids and
Speaker 20: I flew from Denver to London, London to Dubai, Dubai
Speaker 20: down to Uganda and so all in all, it's it's
Speaker 20: about a thirty six hours travel day. Yeah, wow, And
Speaker 20: coming back Dubai to Washington, d C is a fifteen
Speaker 20: hour straight flight and we did that with four four kids.
Speaker 3: And what do you do while you're there for three weeks?
Speaker 3: Was it your daughter's first time.
Speaker 11: D Yeah, it was. We kind of did half and
Speaker 11: a half.
Speaker 20: So my wife is on the board of this organization
Speaker 20: called Love One International, and for the last like five
Speaker 20: or six years they've been raising money to build this
Speaker 20: center in this little town about five hours north of Kampala,
Speaker 20: which is the capital. So we went over there for
Speaker 20: the grand opening of that and it was amazing. But yeah,
Speaker 20: watching wille Gray go back to Uganda for the first
Speaker 20: time it's been eight years now, it was one of
Speaker 20: the most special moments as a dad that I've ever
Speaker 20: experienced when.
Speaker 3: You wrote Mamma's House, because you wrote that with Morgan. Yeah,
Speaker 3: how did that come up as a topic? Did someone
Speaker 3: come in to go, let's write about a mammal or
Speaker 3: did that organically just come about in conversation.
Speaker 20: That was the first time I ever wrote with Morgan.
Speaker 20: It was on Zoom during COVID. It was me and
Speaker 20: him and Josh Thompson and a guy named Matt Dragson.
Speaker 20: We actually had written another song. I don't even remember
Speaker 20: what it was called, but I remember almost getting off
Speaker 20: the zoom, thinking like, we just wrote the worst song ever.
Speaker 20: And Morgan randomly gets a phone call from his grandmama
Speaker 20: and you can hear it in the very beginning of
Speaker 20: the track, like that was like live audio from that session.
Speaker 20: And he got back and I was like, man, I
Speaker 20: didn't know you had a mammal that was from East
Speaker 20: Tennessee because I've got a mama from me Tennessee. We
Speaker 20: started talking about the way that we were raised and
Speaker 20: all this kind of stuff, and so we were just like,
Speaker 20: let's write a song about our grandparents, kind of honestly
Speaker 20: thinking this is never going to see the light of day.
Speaker 20: And it didn't for like four years, and then yeah,
Speaker 20: it came out and turns out a lot of people
Speaker 20: love singing about the grandmamas.
Speaker 3: So I would say that's accurate. I liked the song too,
Speaker 3: even if they don't like their grammarship rh. Yeah. You
Speaker 3: ever write a song that's you feel like it's really
Speaker 3: good and it just doesn't make sense for you, not
Speaker 3: even timing wise, but it's just like, man, I love
Speaker 3: this song and it's super catchy and says, but I
Speaker 3: don't make sense singing it.
Speaker 11: For sure. It happens a lot. Actually, what's one of those? Nothing?
Speaker 11: Probably nothing recently.
Speaker 20: But I just had to hit with Dustin Lynch want
Speaker 20: a song called Stars Like Confetti that I wrote and
Speaker 20: I loved, but it didn't make sense for my project.
Speaker 20: And I don't even have a reason for that, but
Speaker 20: I think like listening down and then putting that song
Speaker 20: in the mix, it didn't make sense.
Speaker 3: I like when it goes stars like Confetti, Uh huh, yeah,
Speaker 3: that she a little ear candy. Yeah, So tell me
Speaker 3: about that specifically because I like that because it definitely
Speaker 3: hits way different, and there's a chance that when it
Speaker 3: hits different, it's going to hit Oh that's super catchy
Speaker 3: or that's super corny. Yeah, yeah, I love that. That's
Speaker 3: what comes by What are you saying? What's he saying exactly?
Speaker 11: I think you just ah yah did.
Speaker 3: You write that? In the initial chorus?
Speaker 11: And I've got the demo i'll play, I'll send, I'll
Speaker 11: send it to you.
Speaker 3: And then did you think should we leave the AI
Speaker 3: in or did you know immediately you felt.
Speaker 20: Like yeah, I think we just wrote it and and
Speaker 20: I don't know like six eight months went by and
Speaker 20: like nothing was happening with it, and so I think
Speaker 20: my buddy Josh Thompson the Senate to Dustin and he
Speaker 20: takes me and said, are you going to do anything
Speaker 20: with this? And I said, I don't think so, and
Speaker 20: he and you never know when we will record your songs,
Speaker 20: that they're just going to be like random track number
Speaker 20: ten on an album if they're actually have a chance
Speaker 20: at making it as a single. But I think that
Speaker 20: song was kind of starting to pop organically. And yeah,
Speaker 20: dust I mean Dustin pretty much sang it how we
Speaker 20: did it in the demo.
Speaker 3: I love Surprised and I just love the yeah, like
Speaker 3: that is such.
Speaker 20: Well, it's like ooze and oz and like it's just
Speaker 20: something for people to latch onto, you know what I mean.
Speaker 11: Like even if you don't know any of the other
Speaker 11: words in the show, you can go ah.
Speaker 3: You know, do you think if someone walked in with
Speaker 3: a shotgun right now, said Thom's rett, I need you
Speaker 3: to go in this room, and I need you to
Speaker 3: write a song, and it has to be a hit,
Speaker 3: and it could be as as simple as possible, and
Speaker 3: you have thirty minutes. You could write a hit song.
Speaker 3: You can put all the claps and oohs and oz
Speaker 3: and kid choir anything you want. That is no. Do
Speaker 3: you think you could write a song in thirty minutes
Speaker 3: it would be a hit.
Speaker 8: Maybe it got to be a shotgun?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, because we got to make him want to
Speaker 3: do it. Otherwise, he's like, because he Thomas invests a
Speaker 3: lot of himself into his art and wants to say
Speaker 3: things are important to him. But I'm not asking to
Speaker 3: do that. I'm saying, you just got to write a
Speaker 3: goofy radio hit.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Do you think in thirty minutes you could do one?
Speaker 11: Let me it could?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's awesome. Get a gun, bringing it, Bring about
Speaker 3: a woman. It is out today, fourteen.
Speaker 11: Tracks, Yeah, fourteen.
Speaker 3: Hey, what's the deal you and Lauren the UT and
Speaker 3: Georgia versions?
Speaker 7: What are you what?
Speaker 3: It's even happening here where you guys are going against
Speaker 3: each other?
Speaker 20: So that rivalry in our house has just been like
Speaker 20: such a joke for a long time. And like, you know,
Speaker 20: me and my dad are like the only two Georgia
Speaker 20: Bulldog fans that that I'm like, I spend a lot
Speaker 20: of time with.
Speaker 11: And so.
Speaker 20: We go to a lot of UT games and I
Speaker 20: feel like there's just not a whole bunch of love
Speaker 20: for the Georgia Bulldogs around my family. And so somebody
Speaker 20: on my team had the idea of making these two
Speaker 20: different vinyls to see, so one has like the orange
Speaker 20: and white checkerboard on the hood and the other has
Speaker 20: like the red and black light Georgis stripe on the hood,
Speaker 20: and we just kind of wanted to make a competition
Speaker 20: out of that to kind of see who had more
Speaker 20: loyalty from my fan base. And so she's beating me
Speaker 20: by like thirty five percent currently, which is not shocking.
Speaker 3: So about a woman is out today. One other thing,
Speaker 3: you look really like healthy?
Speaker 11: Thanks?
Speaker 3: Yeah, anything? What are you doing new?
Speaker 20: I think I'm just like playing shows again. I've lost
Speaker 20: I've lost like twelve pounds over the summer and I
Speaker 20: don't know if it's from jumping around in July and
Speaker 20: August heat or whatever.
Speaker 3: But yeah, you look good.
Speaker 11: I can't fit into most of my pants.
Speaker 5: Well you can't say that with such emphasis of those
Speaker 5: are good. I know you look good, but when it's
Speaker 5: like you look good.
Speaker 3: Like his hair is like popping, it's like a good color.
Speaker 3: It's like it's crazy.
Speaker 11: But Assault and THEFF for Happening and they're awesome embracing it.

Speaker 3: of half of me. But need you do like Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 11: I could not do that.
Speaker 3: Well, no, I'm your producer.

Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 2: Number two, Lunchbox surprised a listener with a toilet seat.
Speaker 2: So it's the Palette, you know, he who shall not
Speaker 2: be named aka Baltimore aka the Palette. But it got
Speaker 2: named and it was a big surprise for a listener
Speaker 2: in a way. The listener also called them wanting it.
Speaker 2: But that's what you're about to hear is lunchbox surprising
Speaker 2: a listener Forcibly number.
Speaker 3: Two and Morgan Harry Potter.
Speaker 4: What's the name?
Speaker 3: They don't say? Oh, Valdemart and what I'm sorry. Never
Speaker 3: read the books, I respect him, never seen the movies,
Speaker 3: I respect them. Why don't they say the name?
Speaker 2: Well, he's the main villain, And basically it's kind of
Speaker 2: like a Boogeyman type situation.
Speaker 7: If you kind of say the name he shows.
Speaker 3: Up, it is like beetlejuice.
Speaker 2: No, but like that's kind of the vibe of it.
Speaker 2: He doesn't actually show up, but that's the vibe, Like,
Speaker 2: don't speak about him because he's the darkness.
Speaker 3: By the way, Beetlejuice awesome. Back in the day. The
Speaker 3: new Beetle Juice coming out.
Speaker 4: Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice three.
Speaker 3: It's beetle Juice, Wait.
Speaker 8: Three, Beetle Juice, Hold On, Hold On?
Speaker 3: Is the movie called beetle Juice, beetle Juice. Okay, so
Speaker 3: what we're saying is you got to say it three
Speaker 3: times to get him to come out right, right, right.
Speaker 3: But the new movie, I'm looking forward to beatle Juice,
Speaker 3: beetle Juice because the first one was so good. So
Speaker 3: you don't say Voldemort, you don't say beetlejuice three times.
Speaker 3: And there's a word that we don't like to say
Speaker 3: on this show because it brings up bad thoughts and memories.
Speaker 3: Do you guys know the word palette?
Speaker 4: I figured palette.
Speaker 3: So the palette is something we all put our money into.
Speaker 3: Bought this pallette. It's a palette of Amazon returns. We
Speaker 3: didn't know what was in it, and we were very
Speaker 3: excited to make money by selling the stuff individually. It
Speaker 3: turned to a massive fight within us. We just stopped
Speaker 3: talking about it. We said, we're not doing this as
Speaker 3: a bit. However, Lunchbox continues, drip by drip to tell
Speaker 3: me that the palette is making people very happy still
Speaker 3: to this day. So what is the latest.
Speaker 10: Some guy called in and said he broke his toilet
Speaker 10: seat and knew that we had toilet seats from the pallette.
Speaker 10: And he would love to have a toilet seat from
Speaker 10: the Pallette. So I was like, man, I'm gonna call
Speaker 10: him and sell him one.
Speaker 7: But Bobby was like, no, you need to give it
Speaker 7: to him for free.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, of course, And so.
Speaker 7: I called the dude back and made his dreams come for.
Speaker 3: We had the call. Yeah, hell, here we go.
Speaker 7: Hello is this toilet seat guy?
Speaker 17: Yes, toilet seat guy?
Speaker 7: Man, what's up? It's lunchbox?
Speaker 17: No freaking way, what's up lunchbox dude?
Speaker 10: What is your name? I just know you. You want
Speaker 10: to put your butt on our toilet seat?
Speaker 17: Yes, yes, huge, let go. My name is Carter Man.
Speaker 10: Okay, well you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna
Speaker 10: make dreams come true today because this is what we do.
Speaker 10: I mean, I was gonna sell it to you, and
Speaker 10: Bobby said that I have to give it to you
Speaker 10: for free.
Speaker 17: For free. That is freaking awesome. I wants to toilet seat,
Speaker 17: lunch box, and I will give you my address.
Speaker 10: Hey man, We're gonna make your toilet see congratulations, have
Speaker 10: a great day. We're making dreams come true, one crap
Speaker 10: at a time.
Speaker 17: One crap out of time. Dreams are coming true.
Speaker 13: God, thank you' all two things.
Speaker 3: How do we know if it's a toilet? Are they universal?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Two do we send them on? We all signed, we're
Speaker 3: gonna sign it, but not on the top.
Speaker 7: On top.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's sign it and he sits on it. Guys,
Speaker 3: that's so funny.
Speaker 8: You can do it underneath when you listen.
Speaker 3: Why would we want that? How many do we have?
Speaker 7: I think we have three remaining.
Speaker 3: No, we send them one and we all sign it
Speaker 3: and he sits on it. Yes, Why would you not
Speaker 3: want that?
Speaker 8: Why would you want that?
Speaker 3: Because that's hilarious and you get to pick what you want?
Speaker 7: Do you want back button? Do you want sign like big?
Speaker 3: Where do you sign it? Yeah? Yeah, I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: right in the middle of the back, so I get
Speaker 3: a little crack. It's a little failing. See the palette.
Speaker 3: Although made us miserable and really hate each other for
Speaker 3: a while, it's making some people happy.
Speaker 8: He sounded pretty happy.
Speaker 3: So death tell me something good, So we'll sign it.
Speaker 3: We'll mail it off today. Nice.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 2: I really hate when I have to come on here
Speaker 2: for another week and do a not so fun number
Speaker 2: one spot. But this was some big news in my life,
Speaker 2: not exciting news, very sad news. And I barely made
Speaker 2: it through the announcement, barely making it through telling you
Speaker 2: guys right now because the suggestion or that even the
Speaker 2: topic of it just you know, brings on some sad
Speaker 2: feelings for me. But here it is the number one spot.
Speaker 2: I shared some updates on my relationship Number one.
Speaker 3: This is what's referred to as a band aid segment
Speaker 3: where I don't tease it, there's no build up to it.
Speaker 3: We just ripped the band aid off. I've never called
Speaker 3: it that until now, but if you ever hear of
Speaker 3: a band aid segment, that's what it's going to be
Speaker 3: for now on. Okay, I didn't before going into this
Speaker 3: segment and teas or anything band aid segment. Ready, go ahead,
Speaker 3: man in uniform.
Speaker 13: And I broke up.
Speaker 3: Oh, so that is Morgan didn't want to do a
Speaker 3: big bit build out till Lunchbox. Well, Morgan also, I've
Speaker 3: known for a bit because I will try to make
Speaker 3: sure that the show doesn't migrate to going in on something,
Speaker 3: just to give her a little space. And so she
Speaker 3: was like, Hey, this happened, It's cool. I felt like
Speaker 3: it's my job to protect her for a little bit,
Speaker 3: so if it goes somewhere, I can boot it out
Speaker 3: until she's comfortable right a little behind the scenes, she
Speaker 3: did also come and say I would like to say
Speaker 3: it now and get it over with because it will
Speaker 3: be brought up again in normal discussion. And I recommend
Speaker 3: her for that because she's looking out for herself by
Speaker 3: doing that. But this is always a hard segment. So
Speaker 3: I'm also vamping here to let her catch your breath again,
Speaker 3: because I know that was hard for her to say.
Speaker 3: So We're going to give you all the space that
Speaker 3: you want or need, and you can lead us in
Speaker 3: whichever direction you like.
Speaker 12: Morgan, I was completely blindsided. I didn't know this was coming.
Speaker 12: I didn't see it coming. I protected myself in every
Speaker 12: way that I possibly could, and thought that I had
Speaker 12: found somebody that this was it. And you guys heard
Speaker 12: that in me talking about it on the show. But
Speaker 12: he uh, as we were about to move in together,
Speaker 12: I guess you could say.
Speaker 3: Would you say, as you what to move in together?
Speaker 2: We were about to move in together, had a epiphany
Speaker 2: man in uniform is Jewish and decided, because I'm not Jewish,
Speaker 2: that's not what he wanted, so we had multiple conversations
Speaker 2: about it. I thought we were on the same which
Speaker 2: is why I was completely blindsided, but I guess we weren't.
Speaker 2: And that's where we are now.
Speaker 3: Can I give you a oh, it's such a light
Speaker 3: like fractional positive? Can I give you a fractional positive?
Speaker 3: You didn't pick a freaking loser. And I think that
Speaker 3: that for the first time, like as your friend, Like
Speaker 3: that's big growth. This sucks for now. No, I'm not
Speaker 3: taking away this sucks for you in any way, but
Speaker 3: I think that you're maturing and actually knowing what you
Speaker 3: want in a relationship and from our life with you,
Speaker 3: I think you have started to look for more quality
Speaker 3: guys and for what they stand for and believe in.
Speaker 3: And I know right now it doesn't help you feel better,
Speaker 3: but like this was, this is a mild wind in
Speaker 3: your in your growth as a human that I totally get.
Speaker 3: If you guys aren't compatible on that level, don't go
Speaker 3: further at all. And I'm sure it hurts for both
Speaker 3: of you and sucks for both of you. And I'm
Speaker 3: gonna stop talking because I'm not even sure what I
Speaker 3: can even ask, but that really sucks.
Speaker 2: I mean, you can ask that.
Speaker 12: I do feel good about the fact that I finally
Speaker 12: found someone who gave me hope that there are good
Speaker 12: men out there, but it sucks all the more because
Speaker 12: of that, again, because I was blindsided in thinking that
Speaker 12: this was this was it?
Speaker 3: Did you want you convert? Was that it? No?
Speaker 2: You know, really like, I don't think that would have mattered.
Speaker 3: Was he practicing or born or both? Born? Okay, so
Speaker 3: does he practice Judaism? Was that it was that it's
Speaker 3: more the.
Speaker 2: Culture thing, not as much practicing, which is why, like
Speaker 2: when we had conversations about it, it kind of really
Speaker 2: threw me because I didn't see that at all. And
Speaker 2: that's why when we were to have conversations about it,
Speaker 2: I thought were on the same page, but as you know,
Speaker 2: we got more serious and stuff, it just became that
Speaker 2: that's going to be more important for him in the future.
Speaker 3: I suppose does he want to find a Jewish wife?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I think good job by him, because this definitely could
Speaker 3: have gone a lot farther and he could have pulled
Speaker 3: that thread a little later, which would have been even harder.
Speaker 3: I think good job by you by picking somebody that
Speaker 3: was worth the crap. It still very much sucks, and
Speaker 3: I'm very sorry because I know you were, like you're
Speaker 3: fundamentally you were excited about the future, and that's you'll
Speaker 3: look back at this as big time growth, big time growth.
Speaker 3: You can't write now it sucks, It really sucks. I'm sorry.
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's.
Speaker 12: Not a lot of people out there that can relate
Speaker 12: to this particular topic, which also makes it harder and
Speaker 12: really hard for me to understand.
Speaker 2: But I do.
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 12: I am really happy that one day I can.
Speaker 2: Look at this scenario and know that I found somebody
Speaker 2: that was good, and I now can see out there
Speaker 2: that there is going to be good.
Speaker 3: I think this is actually something that happens more than
Speaker 3: you think. And I'm not saying you're specific Jewish and Christian,
Speaker 3: but I think there are a lot of couples that
Speaker 3: struggle with again I'll use the word like fundamental foundation,
Speaker 3: that they don't come from that same spiritual background or
Speaker 3: even same religion, and they have to figure a way
Speaker 3: to make it work. I have very close friends that
Speaker 3: have gone through some extremely difficult times because they do
Speaker 3: have like a they even call it like a split.
Speaker 3: I think interfaith, and it's it's it's it's difficult, but
Speaker 3: it's again, it's really great that you guys identified that
Speaker 3: now because it just works. It's been way way.
Speaker 5: Harder and then you sharing right now, even as hard
Speaker 5: as it is, it may prompt conversations that other people
Speaker 5: need to have, like hearing this, Like, even though it's
Speaker 5: painful and hard, somebody listening right now is going to
Speaker 5: be encouraged of like, oh, this is a conversation that
Speaker 5: I haven't had yet in my relationship, and I maybe
Speaker 5: need to do it, and it may help them get
Speaker 5: through either whatever direction they're going to go. It's a
Speaker 5: conversation that sometimes people avoid or don't realize un till
Speaker 5: it gets too late and they're like, oh, shoot, we
Speaker 5: didn't discuss this, and what if we want to have
Speaker 5: kids and then how are we going to raise them?
Speaker 8: And you know, it's snowballs.
Speaker 3: So is there a chance you guys have a discussion
Speaker 3: about it later and change your minds? I don't think. So.
Speaker 2: We had a follow up conversation after the breakup happened,
Speaker 2: and he seemed very sure in his decision. So I
Speaker 2: don't think there's anything that I could have done or
Speaker 2: could do differently for him, And that sucks for me,
Speaker 2: but I do still believe he's a great human, which
Speaker 2: also sucks.
Speaker 3: And two things can be true at the same time.
Speaker 3: One this is just sucks. I'm really sorry because it
Speaker 3: sucks and your heart hurts, and hate that for you
Speaker 3: as a person. But it also, I think is a
Speaker 3: good thing that it happened now and not later after
Speaker 3: you lived with each other and made it even harder,
Speaker 3: which would then make if you did decide to get
Speaker 3: married and keep hunting it kicking the can.
Speaker 2: God dang, yeah, I could have made it so much worse,
Speaker 2: So I am thankful for that.
Speaker 3: Well, well, he hurts.
Speaker 8: Really bad right now.
Speaker 3: I'm sure it does.
Speaker 4: Sorry, Morgan.
Speaker 3: And I know Lunchbox's eyes got big because it was
Speaker 3: going to be like love Bomb told you, but it
Speaker 3: wasn't that at all. And then, you know, did he
Speaker 3: his eyes got lower, you know, and he lowered his
Speaker 3: head down real quick because he wasn't going to say anything.
Speaker 7: I got a couple theories, there.
Speaker 4: Are theories to have she told you what happened.
Speaker 3: No, this is I don't even know that. I don't
Speaker 3: even know.
Speaker 8: It's too soon.
Speaker 5: This is why right at the beginning on like lunchbox.
Speaker 5: I looked at him and I was like, lunch fox.
Speaker 4: No, maybe that's why it looked.
Speaker 8: She's clearly in pain right now. Yeah, right at the beginning,
Speaker 8: did you see.
Speaker 5: I looked back and I go lunchbox, because I knew
Speaker 5: he was about to just like go in.
Speaker 3: What's one?
Speaker 21: What's what's One of the theories part of my just
Speaker 21: hearing her talk is he got cold feet about the
Speaker 21: moving in because she said we were about to move
Speaker 21: in together, and so he looked for the one thing
Speaker 21: that he knew.
Speaker 7: He could use as the excuse, because she.
Speaker 10: Said they had multiple conversations about it and they were
Speaker 10: on the same page. So I think the moving in
Speaker 10: like freaked him out.
Speaker 3: Well, let's go to Morgan. Morgan, your theory, your thoughts
Speaker 3: on that theory.
Speaker 12: I don't think it was that because he's the one
Speaker 12: who brought it up. I was never I was never
Speaker 12: pursuing that. That was never something that I pushed, and
Speaker 12: it came very naturally into the conversation, and he was
Speaker 12: very consistent. There was even like a moment where I
Speaker 12: was like, I'm not getting rid of any of my
Speaker 12: stuff because we're not married and I'm not going there
Speaker 12: I don't want to do this, and he assured me
Speaker 12: that this is this is happening, and we were moving forward.
Speaker 12: So there was no part of me that believed the
Speaker 12: cold feat thing was going to happen.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's one theory, get it out.
Speaker 7: Second second theory she does get out of the way
Speaker 7: is that he had been waiting to meet me, and
Speaker 7: then now that he did, he was like, all.
Speaker 3: Right, I can break up that one. I can probably sign, yeah,
Speaker 3: because I met a lot of us.
Speaker 10: I met him a half ago and then it's like,
Speaker 10: all right, now that I got to meet Lunchek, and so.
Speaker 3: The whole relationship he was just using her to get to.
Speaker 7: You sounds like it. I mean, he did ask me
Speaker 7: if I wanted to go run with him.
Speaker 3: That's the one, guys, I can kind of sign again.
Speaker 3: I kind of believe Morgan. It really sucks. We're laughing
Speaker 3: now because we're just trying to lighten it up a
Speaker 3: little bit. But weaker people have gotten through harder things,
Speaker 3: and you're going to crush this. You're gonna grow from it,
Speaker 3: you're gonna learn from it. You didn't pick a loser.
Speaker 3: And I think as funny as that sounds, for me
Speaker 3: to say, like that shows your growth and I'm sorry
Speaker 3: it happened, you know, I.
Speaker 12: Will say, there's a moment for me this weekend as
Speaker 12: I'm trying to process everything, I was my dog that
Speaker 12: you had mentioned that my new foster, Sunshine got adopted,
Speaker 12: and I was taking her to her new home, and
Speaker 12: I looked at her and I was like, you're so special,
Speaker 12: and I know this is scary, and I know that
Speaker 12: you're afraid of what's to come, but this is going
Speaker 12: to be so beautiful for you. And as I was
Speaker 12: telling her that, I was like, what the crap am
Speaker 12: I doing? Why can I say that to her? But
Speaker 12: I can't say it to myself right now? And there
Speaker 12: was some healing in that, So that was kind.
Speaker 2: Of a bright spot amongst all of this as well.
Speaker 3: Would it help you if we promoted your podcast at
Speaker 3: least you gets extremely the podcasts from this. I think
Speaker 3: that would be a good good idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Morgan.
Speaker 3: The name of your podcast is take this Personally? Oh no,
Speaker 3: what it's the name of her podcast.
Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe he took something personally from the podcast.
Speaker 3: Maybe here with the theory he wanted to meet you
Speaker 3: with that one check out Morgan's podcast Take This Personally.
Speaker 3: We care about you. You're gonna be fine. It sucks
Speaker 3: right now, and that's okay, and it should suck right now.
