Speaker 1: It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan number two.
Speaker 1: Happy weekend, everyone, Welcome to the Best Bits podcast. I'm Morgan.
Speaker 1: In case you missed it, we separated the podcast into
Speaker 1: two parts. This is Part two, where it's just the
Speaker 1: Bits at break down the top seven, most engaging, most liked,
Speaker 1: most called in about segments of the week and share
Speaker 1: with you guys so you can either catch up if
Speaker 1: you missed it, or listen to it again in case
Speaker 1: you want to listen to it again. And Part one
Speaker 1: is where I actually break down the show with a
Speaker 1: show member. We come on and talk about all kinds
Speaker 1: of things. Sometimes we talk about what happened on the show.
Speaker 1: Other times we just kind of get deep down and personal,
Speaker 1: which is typically what Abby and I do when she
Speaker 1: was my guest this week on part one, So make
Speaker 1: sure you check that out. We're gonna dive right in.
Speaker 1: At number seven, Eddie shared something that his kid has
Speaker 1: been going through recently, and I think a lot of
Speaker 1: parents and unfortunately some kids can relate to this one.
Speaker 1: So his has been dealing with some bullying issues with basketball,
Speaker 1: which is super unfortunate and it broke my heart to
Speaker 1: hear that. But Eddie gives a loadown of what happened,
Speaker 1: how he responded to it, and of course we had
Speaker 1: some listeners call in and share some of their input.
Speaker 1: Number seven, Okay, Eddie, what happened with your kid? Oh?
Speaker 1: This was tough. So my seven year old he's joining
Speaker 1: a new basketball team and he shows up and he's
Speaker 1: little for his age. So he shows up and two
Speaker 1: boys in his team are laughing at him, just saying like,
Speaker 1: look at this guy. He's so short, he's not gonna
Speaker 1: make any of the baskets. And my son hears him,
Speaker 1: and I'm one of the I mean, I guess all
Speaker 1: the dad's chip in, so we're all kind of coaches.
Speaker 1: So if we're at practice, we're all helping out and
Speaker 1: I'm right there hearing them laugh every single time my
Speaker 1: son takes a shot, so I get a little fired
Speaker 1: up over it. So they're saying he's too small, Yes,
Speaker 1: are they trying to block a shot? So now we're
Speaker 1: doing layup drills and every time he goes up for
Speaker 1: the layup, they're like, what's this little guy's gonna try
Speaker 1: to make a layup? He's not even gonna get closed
Speaker 1: with the basket. But hey, my son's draining every single one.
Speaker 1: And they say it about five times, and finally the
Speaker 1: fifth time, I'm like, oh, that's it. I'm about to
Speaker 1: say something, so I said, I pull him both aside
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you too, there's no laughing at your teammates.
Speaker 1: I don't care who your teammate is. You guys have
Speaker 1: each other's back. I hear you guys laughing at his size,
Speaker 1: but I guarantee you he'll school both of you guys. Oh,
Speaker 1: and that's probably not the way to do. You don't
Speaker 1: have to go that hard right now. Yeah, well, now
Speaker 1: you're like making him want to compete against your son,
Speaker 1: like I'll guarantee you'll take both of you down. But
Speaker 1: I think that was the emotion talking. Yeah. I didn't
Speaker 1: really mean to say that, but that just slipped out.
Speaker 1: But I was really just trying to say, like, hey,
Speaker 1: no laughing at your teammate, back him up. I like
Speaker 1: that part. Yeah, I guess. I guess deep inside, I
Speaker 1: know how good my son is. Like he's really good.
Speaker 1: And it's happened every single season where the team, the
Speaker 1: opposing team sees him and they're like, look at this
Speaker 1: little point guard he's not and he just dominates because
Speaker 1: he's fast. He does make every shot and he's really
Speaker 1: really good. So part of me was like, oh, you
Speaker 1: fools are gonna take your laughing back because he's gonna
Speaker 1: school you up. He affected when he hears that. Oh
Speaker 1: it hurt. It hurt him a little bit because I
Speaker 1: could see him listening and every single time he would
Speaker 1: miss a layup, he'd look at the reaction and he
Speaker 1: makes every shot. Well, he doesn't make a single one,
Speaker 1: but every time he did miss one, he would look
Speaker 1: back to see their reaction, and of course they were
Speaker 1: laughing again. Okay, so what would you do? That's a
Speaker 1: question you guys can call us to how would you
Speaker 1: deal with this? Eight seven seven seventy seven, Bobby, We
Speaker 1: will grab your calls. We'll talk about it right after
Speaker 1: this song. My quick advice as a young wance small
Speaker 1: kid that had the same thing happened to me. I
Speaker 1: had to learn how to let it drive me. Right.
Speaker 1: I don't have anybody given me a massage going hey bubba,
Speaker 1: he'd be okay, and it will be okay, and you
Speaker 1: can do that. I just didn't have that, and so
Speaker 1: I let that crap drive me to the point probably
Speaker 1: i'm extra neurotic at this point in my life. But
Speaker 1: I think that that's I think adversity is awesome. I
Speaker 1: think the fact that I don't like the bullying, I
Speaker 1: don't like to start saying that, and you can actually
Speaker 1: put a stop to it. But I think let's see
Speaker 1: how he reacts. What does he think. Is he reacted
Speaker 1: to it doesn't drive him to want to work harder,
Speaker 1: or is he just kind of like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to play at all. I think a little bit of both.
Speaker 1: They can see it in him where at first he's
Speaker 1: just kind of like, oh, I don't like that they're
Speaker 1: laughing at me. But yeah, he does try extra hard
Speaker 1: to make that layup when they when it is his turn,
Speaker 1: just so you can shut him up a little bit.
Speaker 1: But I think that's the that's the play, is that
Speaker 1: you try to build that too. Okay, people are always
Speaker 1: going to say this about you. It's how you react,
Speaker 1: it's how you show up. Oh that's good, instead of
Speaker 1: it's okay, buddy, it's you know what, this is part
Speaker 1: of it. I don't like it either, but it's gonna
Speaker 1: happen to you the rest of your life in some
Speaker 1: way or another, and it's not you know if you
Speaker 1: get knocked down or if you get made fun of.
Speaker 1: It's when you get knocked down or when you get
Speaker 1: made fun of, how do you react to that. I
Speaker 1: think that's the lesson. But what I know? Kids, No,
Speaker 1: but you were like you said this, you were that person.
Speaker 1: I'm still that guy. Yeah, everywhere I go kill like,
Speaker 1: look at him, he ain't gonna make that shot, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm not playing basketball. I'll try to get
Speaker 1: a Starbucks. It's the best Bits of the Week with
Speaker 1: Morgan number two. This week, it was a special one
Speaker 1: full of so many special guests. One of the coolest
Speaker 1: things was Dirk Spilly and el King. They came in,
Speaker 1: talked about both of the collapse that they have together,
Speaker 1: and they performs their new one Worth a Shot. I've
Speaker 1: loved el King from the very beginning, and to see
Speaker 1: her now in the country genre is so fun, especially
Speaker 1: when Dirk's come in and he's like all about her
Speaker 1: and wants her to have all the success. It was
Speaker 1: just a super fun interview and performance. So make sure
Speaker 1: if you don't listen to it right here, you go
Speaker 1: check it out at Bobby Bones dot com. Number six. Oh,
Speaker 1: it is really good to see you again. Nice to
Speaker 1: see you too, good, thank you, and we come on it.
Speaker 1: Apparently Dirk's does a residency here on the show. He's
Speaker 1: here every week so for different reasons. Did you know
Speaker 1: he just comes in randomly? No. Yeah, Sometimes they come
Speaker 1: in and don't even sing. I just hang out, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of judge the show a little bit. Seat's going
Speaker 1: and I want to keep listening or not. He's like
Speaker 1: the voice, but for this show he comes on. It
Speaker 1: tells us that the show's good. Oh yeah, smart, yes, yes, yes, Ella,
Speaker 1: you are here. We just spent some time together at
Speaker 1: my house when we're doing a Bobby cast and Mike,
Speaker 1: who produces that, told me that that I went hard
Speaker 1: on her. Did you think I went hard on you?
Speaker 1: I would rather someone be honest and real with me.
Speaker 1: I would rather take something, you know, genuine than fake.
Speaker 1: I guess so. And I wasn't meaning it in any
Speaker 1: way that I had a whole different I was wrong
Speaker 1: about my perception of all. I thought she was fancy
Speaker 1: Hollywood girl, and I said that. I said my perception
Speaker 1: was totally wrong on you, and I admitted that. I
Speaker 1: said I thought you were from Los Angeles, and you
Speaker 1: know you came to and I said, I was completely
Speaker 1: one hundred percent wrong, and from you know, growing up
Speaker 1: in southern Ohio to living on a farm now. And
Speaker 1: I was like, I apologize that. I'm really sorry that
Speaker 1: I felt the wrong way about you. I think too,
Speaker 1: you're so talented I think that could be intimidating at
Speaker 1: times too to someone like, well, I'll say it, Charlie Worsham. No, me,
Speaker 1: I'm just getting diver tip of the time. My first
Speaker 1: time being the studio with Bobby and you made me
Speaker 1: sing the YMCA theme song. Yeah, how to Go Terrible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing. Yeah, we're just now getting over
Speaker 1: that point. Friendship at this point too. It so it's
Speaker 1: a thing. So l King is here and he dirks.
Speaker 1: I'd asked l I said, hey, since you had asked
Speaker 1: her to do different for girls, yeah, right, and she
Speaker 1: did it. Did she have a coupon at anytime she
Speaker 1: could have cashed in on you, like, at any time,
Speaker 1: regardless of how good amazing a polka song, It didn't
Speaker 1: matter if she said I'd like to do this song
Speaker 1: with me, you have to do it, oh man, I
Speaker 1: would you have say yes? Obviously, yes, anything she asked
Speaker 1: to do because I love El to death, but I
Speaker 1: feel honored to be on the songs. It's a build,
Speaker 1: smash hit song that I love now that I get
Speaker 1: a chance to be with you. It's just I feel
Speaker 1: like ELL's got so much good things happening for right now.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of like, yeah, let me be part of
Speaker 1: anything you have happening right now because you're hot. What
Speaker 1: was it about her initially that drew you to her? Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, you are just talking about the conversation. I
Speaker 1: only knew else since I met her. I knew that
Speaker 1: XS and OS and that song, and I had that
Speaker 1: song different for girls, the Shame mcnell i song that
Speaker 1: I loved, and I was trying to find someone that
Speaker 1: could sing that song that it's kind of a weird song,
Speaker 1: you know, different for girls. It's it's it's talking about
Speaker 1: I mean, the reality of things of life is a
Speaker 1: lot of things are different for girls, but not for
Speaker 1: l It was kind of weird for her to sing
Speaker 1: on it because she's like, you know, rolls or sleeps
Speaker 1: up and and fights her way into the room and
Speaker 1: not girly girl at all. But she has enough confidence
Speaker 1: as you're talking about earlier and to be able to
Speaker 1: take on that role. And she's the only one I
Speaker 1: really can see singing that song and playing it off
Speaker 1: and not. You know, it's just such a chuck position
Speaker 1: for you in a cool way because everything we were
Speaker 1: singing about, like I do yeah, Like she's the one
Speaker 1: drinking Monster energy coffee drink this morning and I'm drinking
Speaker 1: a decalf coffee. It's like it's our roles are totally
Speaker 1: actually reversed. But I just so, I've only known her
Speaker 1: as like playing the banjo, you know, she to me
Speaker 1: is has always been like a country kind of singer girl.
Speaker 1: And that's we know each other now for about five years.
Speaker 1: Don't age me. I can't remember, but I would have
Speaker 1: sung anything she asked me to do. I'm thankful she
Speaker 1: asked me to sing on a big hit. Um, but
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I'm a huge fan. Did you know she
Speaker 1: started playing the band joke? She saw a guy in
Speaker 1: a park in Philadelphia just random playing it. Then I started, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw him, and I was like, anything you can
Speaker 1: do I could do maybe okay, And I was like,
Speaker 1: let me play it, and you know, let me borrow
Speaker 1: that banjo for like, can you listen to Bobby cast. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's it's really good. Yeah, it's really good because especially
Speaker 1: after this little thing, I need to go back and
Speaker 1: check it out. I didn't even know there was a thing.
Speaker 1: I was just like, hey, did you feel like and
Speaker 1: then Michael was like, yeah, you just kind. But also
Speaker 1: the air was out of my house and I think
Speaker 1: I was a little crabby. Yeah, he was warm. I
Speaker 1: was fine, Well, I try no, stop, you stop. We
Speaker 1: don't need that. But she can't. I was like, l
Speaker 1: I'm so, I'm so embarrassed that the air is out
Speaker 1: of my house. It's eighty degrees and she's like, I
Speaker 1: don't care, let's let's go. And I'm you know me,
Speaker 1: I'm Beyonce. I don't know. The temperature is not exactly
Speaker 1: right with my water and so but she rocked it
Speaker 1: and it was awesome. Gonna hope you guys check it out.
Speaker 1: And we talk a lot about this song too, which
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna play here and so worth the shot.
Speaker 1: It's l King with Dirk Spentley. So, el, what drew
Speaker 1: you to this song? You heard it and thought I
Speaker 1: love it? Why? Well, I mean it's it's very very catchy.
Speaker 1: Um and it was it happened really really quickly. We
Speaker 1: had done like five six songs all just slammed into
Speaker 1: one day and we were kind of scrambling just trying
Speaker 1: to find songs and Ross was like, hey, I've got
Speaker 1: this one, and um Dirk's was going to cut it
Speaker 1: and and I don't know why it didn't make the record,
Speaker 1: probably because you're waiting for me. I knew on the
Speaker 1: right Home. He was just like waiting to deliver it
Speaker 1: on a platter. But Ross played it for me and
Speaker 1: I was like, dying, that's catchy, and yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: like hey, Dirk's like we you And then I sent
Speaker 1: the text that we talked about like hey man, you
Speaker 1: don't have to say yes, but like have you really
Speaker 1: wanted to? Like I can't put had a country record
Speaker 1: and like not have you sing on mine? And but
Speaker 1: it's not like he doesn't like owe me anything. This
Speaker 1: is all like forever indebted to him and also saying
Speaker 1: like you brought me here, like can will you still
Speaker 1: be a part of what you like led me to? Yeah? Well,
Speaker 1: thank you? And the story of the song is interesting
Speaker 1: for him out there listening because it's cool to see
Speaker 1: how songs find their home. You know, it's like shame
Speaker 1: mcnelli and Ross. He's a great songwriters, but they probably
Speaker 1: only get like three or four great songs a year.
Speaker 1: And I feel a huge responsibility and I'm running my
Speaker 1: own record and then someone pitches me the song and
Speaker 1: I hear it and got it's a big hit. But
Speaker 1: I kind of want to put this one up there
Speaker 1: rocause I'm really attached to it, but I don't want
Speaker 1: to like jeopardize these guys. One baby of a song.
Speaker 1: It's such a good song. So I was kind of
Speaker 1: sitting on it and then I heard they like love it,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yes, give it to l She'll make
Speaker 1: it a hit. And I just I care about those guys.
Speaker 1: My friends are songwriters, and you care about them. You
Speaker 1: don't want to hold their song up. You know, you
Speaker 1: get this song you just sit on and now I'll
Speaker 1: think about that. Let me come back to me in
Speaker 1: a year. And then the song's lost this moment, it
Speaker 1: doesn't have a heat left, and you just like destroyed
Speaker 1: somebody's chance to have like a hit song. So I
Speaker 1: was super happy this this song found the right home
Speaker 1: and then kind of calmer, I think it came back
Speaker 1: to me with a chance to be part of it.
Speaker 1: I still got to be on the song, but it's
Speaker 1: it's your song. Finally, this is Elking with Dirk Spenley
Speaker 1: and the band doing worth a shot. We've been turning
Speaker 1: into stranger now we believe in superficial conversation because I
Speaker 1: got his always, I'm not ready to give up on us.
Speaker 1: One last to right and might just do that. Train
Speaker 1: might be in a bottle, little proof from the past,
Speaker 1: might be the bottom of an empty glass. Don't blow
Speaker 1: if Al Whiskey can fix it on mind babies, What
Speaker 1: the shot? One shot from the top of the show,
Speaker 1: Mete too, What the hell? Because we've been on the
Speaker 1: right one shote mete all that we got. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it's worth the shot. I think it's worth
Speaker 1: the sh Come on, that's awesome guy ell King and

Speaker 1: or something. I don't know. I got heeled boots on

Speaker 1: I get two songs just me. But we'll bring you out.
Speaker 1: We got and we'll bring us another guest out that
Speaker 1: the hot country nights are gonna be excited about it.
Speaker 1: So I was talking to Ellen. She said that drunken
Speaker 1: I don't want to go home so good had actually
Speaker 1: written years prior. Did you know this? I didn't know this?
Speaker 1: That song is? It's so good. The song is so good,
Speaker 1: the vocals are so good. It's it's a killer song.
Speaker 1: The more I hear it, the more I mean, I
Speaker 1: always have loved it every time it comes on the radio.
Speaker 1: Now I'm just like, I just dig into something else
Speaker 1: that I love about that song. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't know you've written a long time ago? Is
Speaker 1: that on the Boby cast? It is? But but the
Speaker 1: interesting things? And I want to ask you the same question, Dreks.
Speaker 1: But oh you wrote that how many years ago? I
Speaker 1: was about twenty four, so eight years ago. So if
Speaker 1: you write that eight years ago, and she sat on it,
Speaker 1: but she had she rewrote it right with it. I hated.
Speaker 1: I hated the verses. Yeah, the verses were crap. Did
Speaker 1: you ever do Dirk for young song? No? Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, Well No, Usually the song is written and
Speaker 1: then it's just like such a great song, and then
Speaker 1: time goes on. I'm just started thinking about I don't
Speaker 1: even know where with my catalog I'm want to go back,
Speaker 1: And I mean, I've written a lot of songs a
Speaker 1: lot of people that just for some reason, the song
Speaker 1: just doesn't make it to the the album, which is
Speaker 1: crazy because it's just kind of like almost a timing thing.
Speaker 1: You right, you have a you know this record, I'm
Speaker 1: Morgan right now, I'm on my third version of it.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of songs that just didn't make
Speaker 1: it for some reason to the next phase, and they're
Speaker 1: just great songs, and you know, they just kind of disappear.
Speaker 1: Did you have a song Dirk said, lasted a long
Speaker 1: time and made it And you're like that, I can't
Speaker 1: believe the thing lasted that long and then it was
Speaker 1: a big hit, like years and years because I then
Speaker 1: written a long time ago, or yeah, sure, because that's
Speaker 1: her situation with dropping I don't want to go home,
Speaker 1: and she wrote it. But you knew right all that
Speaker 1: the hook was so strong that eventually it would be
Speaker 1: something for somebody, right, Oh, hell yeah, And so you
Speaker 1: even tried to you thought about selling the song to
Speaker 1: like a DJ. Yeah, I mean my manager right there,
Speaker 1: I've been We've been messaging for like like a year
Speaker 1: before that, like we have to give this to a
Speaker 1: DJ or somebody. I can't. I can't just let this
Speaker 1: chorus like die. And and so I was like, let's
Speaker 1: just rewrite it. But it taught me a lot because
Speaker 1: now we have other songs and it now you can
Speaker 1: really kind of shift and open your mind about, you know,
Speaker 1: songwriting process, and like, I love this one thing about
Speaker 1: this song, but this is where it doesn't hit. So
Speaker 1: it's okay to you know, throw the baby out and
Speaker 1: kind of restarted. Yeah, you can always fall back on
Speaker 1: what was there. Man, it's hard to I mean you
Speaker 1: guys Charlie about this too. It's hard to take a song.
Speaker 1: It's like half that you write. And he's like, I
Speaker 1: don't like it. I'm gonna go back and red purpose
Speaker 1: the song. I think once it's written, it's kind of
Speaker 1: like for me, it seems like it's locked in. It's
Speaker 1: just kind of like onto the next one. Damn it.
Speaker 1: But did you have a song that lasted the test
Speaker 1: of time, meaning it sat around Maybe you forgot about
Speaker 1: it for a long time, and then it came back
Speaker 1: and like, oh man, that was a good song, let's
Speaker 1: record it, and then it was a hit. No, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, cool. But anyway, I've had songs. I've had
Speaker 1: songs of albums. I've had songs of albums that I
Speaker 1: wish had been singles, and I've tried to like to
Speaker 1: put them back on or you know, because you've got
Speaker 1: it's a great song. Oh, I can't be it was
Speaker 1: in a single. Let's recut it and put it out
Speaker 1: on this next record. And it just feels like there's
Speaker 1: some it's the everyone's just calling the song had its moment,
Speaker 1: and it's just write something new. I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: hard to do that. Well, not for that supporting her
Speaker 1: and that's why we're on the wings and she's in
Speaker 1: the center. L King is here. She's got a brand
Speaker 1: new song. Um, you're all over? I mean, are you
Speaker 1: playing more Stapleton shows too? I was looking you're I
Speaker 1: mean you're on the road a lot. Yeah. Do you
Speaker 1: feel like you're living on the road? Yeah? Is it
Speaker 1: more like a rock tour that you're on the road
Speaker 1: so much than a typical country tour where you're out
Speaker 1: for Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Uh. Well, I mean now that
Speaker 1: festival season is going to be coming up, our the
Speaker 1: days will get filled. But I mean I'm here in Nashville, Husland,
Speaker 1: and I never really get days off. I like country
Speaker 1: tours when it's slower. I like to have a couple
Speaker 1: of days off. I had Sunday and Monday off and
Speaker 1: that was real nice. It was in a pool. But like,
Speaker 1: I just I like to work. You know, what is
Speaker 1: it idle hands with the Devil's playground. I don't do
Speaker 1: well with too much time off. So, um, it does
Speaker 1: feel like a rock thing. I guess I don't know.
Speaker 1: L King, listen to this. The first female artist in history.
Speaker 1: You've scored four radio number one singles on different formats
Speaker 1: for a country, for alternative, adult, alternative, and adult pop songs.
Speaker 1: So that's awesome. It just shows how versatile your message is,
Speaker 1: more than any certain instrument or sound. Yeah. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: like it shows how versatile the messages and that all
Speaker 1: people regardless of what. Yeah, I'm not a big genre
Speaker 1: guy myself, but it just shows that you're connected in
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. That's really cool. Yeah, good things. Um,
Speaker 1: so I think that's it. Dirk's l Charlie the band,
Speaker 1: great job. As always. I feel like in different forms,
Speaker 1: I see everybody here about I don't know, twice a
Speaker 1: week somebody from some of this groups coming in in
Speaker 1: some way. It was a killer band. You guys an
Speaker 1: a great today. All right, go look for Ell on
Speaker 1: the road. Also Dirk Spentley, he'll be in next week
Speaker 1: with who who do you think? Well, who's supporting Charlie
Speaker 1: next week? Yeah? Yeah, maybe maybe TJ's yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: both brothers. Chant. I'll end with this because something else
Speaker 1: and I were talking about was asking people to do
Speaker 1: collabs or like to feature on a song. And you know,
Speaker 1: we had we had opened for Garth Brooks and we
Speaker 1: did this song called Opening Act, and so I had
Speaker 1: to reach out to people and be like, hey, we're
Speaker 1: looking for somebody to hop on this verse. And it's
Speaker 1: a very awkward thing for me and I do comedy music.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm always like, hey, do you
Speaker 1: want to get on the song. If you don't want to,
Speaker 1: you don't have to. I know, it's stupid. Who wants
Speaker 1: to do when you reach out to somebody? Dirk's are
Speaker 1: you always like, hey, man, it's a great song. You
Speaker 1: should be on it. No, or are you on the
Speaker 1: same I'm like you, I'm like, man, because it's a
Speaker 1: big response, it's a big obligation. You're asking somebody to
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, be in with you for the
Speaker 1: next year. If Starr I was like, you know, if
Speaker 1: you can make it an award show or make the
Speaker 1: video shoot or you're gonna go. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: responsibilites to come with being on a song. It's not
Speaker 1: like you just go in there cutting like all right,
Speaker 1: see you. It's like, hey, I'm gonna need you, uh
Speaker 1: next month these days, it's gonna need you for the
Speaker 1: video shoot and all this stuff. So it's kind of
Speaker 1: you're kind of I think it's a favor to be
Speaker 1: even it's a big hit song, you're kind of saying, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, would you be I really appreciate if you'd
Speaker 1: take a look at being on this. So I come
Speaker 1: to the other angle, you know, but is it then?
Speaker 1: Do you get nervous they're gonna Has anyone ever said
Speaker 1: no to you? Yeah, And I've said no to other
Speaker 1: other people too, you know. I've had some people pitch
Speaker 1: you songs and like friends like friends, good friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I don't know this is a good
Speaker 1: song for your career. I mean I'm just as an
Speaker 1: outside of you know, as a friend of yours, an
Speaker 1: outside looker. I'm like, I don't know if you should
Speaker 1: be putting this song out. So you just tell them
Speaker 1: you don't want to do it, and they shouldn't do
Speaker 1: anything like that. I'll know this, the song has been
Speaker 1: good for your career. I don't know if you're a singer,
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I've had to go both ways for sure.
Speaker 1: So well, Bobby, wasn't it Breland on the Bobby Cast
Speaker 1: that said, when Dirk's reached out to him about beers
Speaker 1: on me, like you texted him and he said, hey,
Speaker 1: this is Dirk Smantly, you know, the country artist, oh,
Speaker 1: the country singer, and like you were defining who you were,
Speaker 1: and Breland said that he was like, dude, you don't.
Speaker 1: I always introduced myself, even like I remember Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: them and I've a song with her on stage and
Speaker 1: done some stuff with her. Every time I see him,
Speaker 1: so like, hey, Taylor, Dirk Spelly, nice, I know who
Speaker 1: you aren't. Well, I'm just making sure you know I
Speaker 1: don't know, but uh yeah, I've had I've been I've

Speaker 1: Hilliar and be like, you gotta get it off this song.
Speaker 1: So you've cut it, Like, that's not a good song.
Speaker 1: You gotta help me. That's dicey. That's a dicey situation.
Speaker 1: We've got a couple of people want that we're gonna
Speaker 1: be in this little song. And one of them was
Speaker 1: like yeah immediately the other one. I sent a message too,
Speaker 1: and I still haven't heard back. And it's been like
Speaker 1: a bit because you send voice notes. But what do
Speaker 1: you mean it's because of that. Well, you gotta tape
Speaker 1: it out. Oh I don't want them to keep it,
Speaker 1: though they can keep you keep it, but they don't.

Speaker 1: with Morgan. Number two, the charity softball game to kickoff
Speaker 1: CMA Festival happened this week. Raymundo, Lunchbox and myself all
Speaker 1: played in it and it was such a good time.
Speaker 1: But per usual, there was some drama that came with it,
Speaker 1: because why not, you know, we gotta just spice things
Speaker 1: up a bit sometimes. And it really was an awesome time.
Speaker 1: If you Missy, you can check out some photos online.
Speaker 1: There's just so many cool things. And I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: say I got a few hits and I'm pretty proud
Speaker 1: of myself, though I probably could have played better, let's
Speaker 1: be honest. Number four, big celebrity softball game last night
Speaker 1: for charity. Morgan. You went out, you played? Howd you play? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I played really good. I got I hit four times.
Speaker 1: Two of them were pop flies. They were in the outfield,
Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. And then they too. I got
Speaker 1: on bass and I scored. Did you guys win? How
Speaker 1: did it work? We did not win? Who was the
Speaker 1: best ball player last night? In the celebrities? I mean,
Speaker 1: Hardy got MVP and he definitely deserved it. I think
Speaker 1: he had like four home runs like in field home runs.
Speaker 1: Oh he's a ballplayer, like, oh dude, he mashed the ball,
Speaker 1: mashed it was hitting it over the Outfieler's head. They
Speaker 1: would back up, he'd still hit it over their head.
Speaker 1: It was I was like, wow, did you get to play?
Speaker 1: I mean because I made sure you got to play
Speaker 1: some I mean really, they didn't have me on anything.
Speaker 1: I was Here's the thing, before the game, they announced everybody.
Speaker 1: I was the only person that didn't get announced. I
Speaker 1: was just sitting there and Jimmy Allen's like, luds, why
Speaker 1: are you being announced? Come up here? And so I
Speaker 1: just gotta walked out. Why didn't they announce you? No idea?
Speaker 1: So then Morgan had to raise a name on the
Speaker 1: board and write my name in the lineup. That's just embarrassing. Golly,
Speaker 1: who did you play at all? So I hit, I went,
Speaker 1: I bat, I hit three times. That was it. How
Speaker 1: you do on two for three. Look, you showed them
Speaker 1: pretty good. Many win. No, we got crushed party and
Speaker 1: Ernest and Chris Lane. I mean, well, they put all
Speaker 1: the college baseball players on one team, penny all of them.
Speaker 1: I mean, just mash anybody almost get into a fight,
Speaker 1: because when I play, there's always somebody going at it. Well,
Speaker 1: there was a fake fight between Jimmy Allen and Ernest,
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you, Ernest was not pulling his punches.
Speaker 1: It felt real like it looked like it was supposed
Speaker 1: to be fake. But I was like, I think he
Speaker 1: kind of means that. I don't want to fight Jimmy Allen.
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, it's ripped, man, let me pop your
Speaker 1: head off. Well, I'm sorry you didn't get to play lunch.
Speaker 1: That's okay, I'm sorry you didn't get Why do you
Speaker 1: think they kept you out of the announcement. I have
Speaker 1: no idea, Like I'm offended for you, Okay, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was just confused. Ray, I love you. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: nothing against Raygan announced. But oh yeah, Raygant announced on
Speaker 1: the line on the actual Because a lot of people
Speaker 1: were posting the lineup on social media, like a lot
Speaker 1: of people like I've seen it everywhere and Raymundo is
Speaker 1: front and center with all the artists on the lineup,
Speaker 1: and to me, Lunchbox is more has more of a
Speaker 1: presence than Ray in a way. So you would think
Speaker 1: if Ray made the lineup, lunch Box would on that graphic,
Speaker 1: like lunch Box isn't even on the craft do you guys?
Speaker 1: Love you? Ray? Tell me what I'm gonna do? I mean,
Speaker 1: the game's over, Like it's over. There's nothing you can
Speaker 1: do like it. And then so then they want, so
Speaker 1: what my my role was to interview players in between
Speaker 1: innings and how exciting is it to go to, hey, man,
Speaker 1: you have fun? But I saw you on the JumboTron. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good, right. But they're like, you're supposed to
Speaker 1: hype the crowd. I'm like, guys, if we do this
Speaker 1: every half inning, it's not exciting. And so I was like,
Speaker 1: why don't we go out in the field and interview
Speaker 1: them why they're playing? That's fine? But we didn't do that.
Speaker 1: Uh well, I'm sorry that happened. That's disappointing. It's all right,
Speaker 1: it's fine. It's all about raising money for Folds of Honor,
Speaker 1: and the fans were great and it was very awful.
Speaker 1: It maybe all about it and it's still not suck
Speaker 1: for you. That sucks. Well, let me just see what
Speaker 1: but I'll let me to see who I talk to.
Speaker 1: I will say thank you to Morgan for writing me
Speaker 1: on the line up, because I was like, no, Morgan,
Speaker 1: like whatever, they don't want me to play, I won't play.
Speaker 1: But she wrote me on. And do you think it
Speaker 1: was somebody holding it against you? I don't know, because
Speaker 1: then Morgan had to we had to go to the
Speaker 1: people specifically to make sure they knew that I was
Speaker 1: gonna hit, because the person up in the booth was
Speaker 1: not gonna have me hitting, so they were gonna announce
Speaker 1: someone else, and if I went to the plate, it
Speaker 1: was gonna be like, Oh, what is this guy? Mario?
Speaker 1: Why do you think they did that to Lunchbox? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think they just really wanted him to
Speaker 1: do the interviews, But it just didn't make sense to
Speaker 1: me because he easily could have played and done the
Speaker 1: interviews like he very well did both the whole time,
Speaker 1: and that should have happened in the first place. Ray
Speaker 1: had you play Buddy two for three? My heats or
Speaker 1: my hits were very cheap. I wish I crushed it better.
Speaker 1: But you had those artists. They had all day. They
Speaker 1: were taking batting practice at four, so they were all
Speaker 1: warmed up and good to go once again. Us at
Speaker 1: nine to five. Jobs. Sorry, we showed don't have nine job, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you get out of it. Showed up early for batting practice.
Speaker 1: Morgan was there an hour early to hit. Good for
Speaker 1: you guys. I'm glad you raise money. There are a
Speaker 1: lot of people there, Yes, Morgan. I will say, like,
Speaker 1: there's two things. One. Ray Mundo kept coming over to
Speaker 1: our dug out because he kept saying, you damn have
Speaker 1: any friends on his team, So he was like the
Speaker 1: white hanging out with all the green team. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing over here? Ray? Go make friends?
Speaker 1: Who was on your team that he didn't like, Well,
Speaker 1: they just didn't talk to me. They're all boys, Ernest Hardy,
Speaker 1: Chris Lane, Tenpenny, They're like the boys group. They wouldn't
Speaker 1: talk to you. No, not really, And I'm married, so
Speaker 1: I couldn't talk to the girls. So why did you
Speaker 1: get in trouble for having your phone in the outfield?
Speaker 1: That was Kane Brown. He's like some guy over there's
Speaker 1: got his phone out and he's playing on it the
Speaker 1: whole game. I was trying to go live with Instagram
Speaker 1: while I was fielding. Yeah, I was about to interview
Speaker 1: Kane Brown in between indies and I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: you haven't fun an He goes, yeah, I just want
Speaker 1: them to hit me the ball. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: why don't you play shorter third? I say, if you're
Speaker 1: out in the outfit, He goes, I'd play left field.
Speaker 1: But there's some idiot out there just on his phone
Speaker 1: the whole time. That rises, right, no idea, All right,
Speaker 1: well we can't do anything with that out there being
Speaker 1: a little drama. Yet more, there is one more thing.
Speaker 1: Lunchbox did get a better end of the deal at
Speaker 1: the end of the night because he did take something
Speaker 1: that was not his of all the freebies that we
Speaker 1: got something of course, okay, this is why he Okay,
Speaker 1: we're always like, why do they let him play? We
Speaker 1: had a short term memory. Okay, what did you take?
Speaker 1: And take anything? We got freebees, and so the girls
Speaker 1: got like teal backpacks and a bunch of stuff, and
Speaker 1: then the guy's got like a black cooler and a
Speaker 1: bunch of other things. Well, Lunchbox made sure to get
Speaker 1: himself a black cool and a teal backpack. You got one, girl,
Speaker 1: ain't guy? Yeah? I got one from my wife. You know,
Speaker 1: I figured I could give her a thank you for
Speaker 1: staying at home and watching the kids. And you know,
Speaker 1: it was just sitting there and no one took it,
Speaker 1: so why not take you? Well? Thank you for the updates, guys, Ray,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that Hardy Earnest Chris Lane. Chris Lane were
Speaker 1: not nice to you and they made you feel like
Speaker 1: a loser, and you had to sit at the other
Speaker 1: cap cherry table. All the cool kids sit over there
Speaker 1: and they square pizza. That's stinks. And if any of
Speaker 1: them want to call and apologize, will you accept it? Yeah? Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and came Brown took a picture with me and he
Speaker 1: even responded to my Instagram, So I think we're good now.
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, you bad mouth me about playing
Speaker 1: on my phone. He was. Actually it wasn't just me,
Speaker 1: it was tenpenny Chris Lane. They already hate you anyway,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Are we boycotting all four of them?
Speaker 1: You let me know? No, I mean we won seven?
Speaker 1: Hey wait, wait, boycott everybody? Every artist right, that's ever
Speaker 1: mean that you let me know, I boycott him all.
Speaker 1: Who is it that we had to blay? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: Michael Ray. Yeah because the bus he left, Ray would
Speaker 1: let him on a tour bus. Yeah, tour bus. Party
Speaker 1: was promised. Never happened. Was Michael Ray? Yeah he was
Speaker 1: on my team. Did you talk to him Ray? Well,
Speaker 1: he's on the opposite team. But yeah, he wasn't really
Speaker 1: social to other people. I guess he was just so
Speaker 1: it's like everybody's not social. Do you think it's just
Speaker 1: you that's not social? No, I am. I was trying
Speaker 1: to give people DAPs and stuff like that, just like
Speaker 1: get some small talk going. But it was tough. Some
Speaker 1: of these people are a little standoffish. Well no, I
Speaker 1: think they a lot of them took it very serious,
Speaker 1: and with Ray being out on his phone and filming everything,
Speaker 1: they were like, who is this idiot? Like we're trying
Speaker 1: to win the game. They compe for a scholarship or what? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why so serious? I mean our play serious? Okay, well,
Speaker 1: thank you guys. Obviously we can't do anything with our
Speaker 1: out there being a little drama, and that's how we
Speaker 1: do it on this show. It's the best bits of
Speaker 1: the Week with Morgan number two. For the first time ever,
Speaker 1: we had the iconic, the legendary, the most incredible Adam
Speaker 1: Sandler on our show this week, and it was so
Speaker 1: awesome because he came on to talk about his new
Speaker 1: movie Hustle, but he also talked about all those viral
Speaker 1: videos of himself playing basketball and what he actually thinks
Speaker 1: of them. And I'm just gonna say, adda, listening to
Speaker 1: him talk and laugh is just as cool as getting
Speaker 1: to see him laugh and talk in movies. He's just
Speaker 1: this genuine, really good dude, and you can tell that
Speaker 1: through the interview. So definitely make sure to listen to
Speaker 1: this all the way through. Number three, Adams having a
Speaker 1: man's Bobby, Hi, Bobby, how are you, buddy? As a
Speaker 1: you know, sports guy and a comedy guy? Like the
Speaker 1: movie being about basketball and your love of basketball? Was
Speaker 1: the movie an now let for you to play more
Speaker 1: basketball selfishly? Like was like, this would be a good
Speaker 1: movie to do because you could play more. Bobby, I
Speaker 1: had the worst thing happened to an old man. I
Speaker 1: played a lot when we were there. The first part
Speaker 1: of the movie we shot, played hoop every day, had
Speaker 1: a great time. Then the second half of the movie
Speaker 1: because we had to separate two half because of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: We had to not do contact basketball for a while.
Speaker 1: And then when we when it was safe enough, all
Speaker 1: the guys started showing up playing hoop. I played for
Speaker 1: maybe a few weeks with the guys. It was incredible,
Speaker 1: and then my stupid growing popped somewhere, and then I
Speaker 1: was like limping around. Everybody would be like, why are
Speaker 1: you're walking like that? It was humiliating. So I got nothing.
Speaker 1: Those viral videos that you playing pickup ball, and it's
Speaker 1: always highlights. I've never seen a viral video of you sucking.
Speaker 1: It's always like Sandler dominates, like dropping dimes. Are you
Speaker 1: that good all the time or are they just selective
Speaker 1: on what they put up? No, I'm that good all
Speaker 1: the time. I thought, No, you know I sucked many
Speaker 1: times out there. There are our time zoh, Bobby, where
Speaker 1: our goal? Why would they show that and not this
Speaker 1: because I had a killer passed that day? And then
Speaker 1: I'll I'll sometimes when I'm out there playing and I
Speaker 1: noticed the cameras come up and the kids are shooting
Speaker 1: me and stuff, I'm like, I'd make a nice pass.
Speaker 1: I look up I'm like nobody caught that. That was
Speaker 1: a good moment. Man, we would have loved that one.
Speaker 1: At the start of the movie. You know, your character
Speaker 1: become an assistant coach for the seventy six ers, and
Speaker 1: I wonder, with your knowledge and fandom of basketball, do
Speaker 1: you think that you could actually be a low level
Speaker 1: assistant coach in the college or NBA level with what
Speaker 1: you have now? I couldn't. I couldn't execute plays or
Speaker 1: execute I couldn't memorize all the stuff. I don't even
Speaker 1: know every rule. I get confused with what's a charge
Speaker 1: and not a charge Sometimes I don't know enough. The
Speaker 1: movies about your character chasing his dream, and your character
Speaker 1: says that people in their fifties don't have dreams, But
Speaker 1: just asking you as a person, do you still have
Speaker 1: dreams at this point with all that you've done. I'm
Speaker 1: very thankful that I get to do all this. I'm
Speaker 1: probably still driven like I used to be as a kid.
Speaker 1: When I commit to something, I try to go full
Speaker 1: tilt and be as good as I can, But only
Speaker 1: I dream about it as much as I dream about
Speaker 1: my kids having a good life. Now you know they're
Speaker 1: thirteen and sixteen, so I think about bad a lot. Now.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, man, I just please hope they have
Speaker 1: happiness and they get to dive into whatever they're dying
Speaker 1: to do that they get to do it. Do you,
Speaker 1: speaking of basketball, do you play two K at all? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: I know my buddies do, but I don't. I don't do.
Speaker 1: I really don't do much besides the regular hoop. And
Speaker 1: how much do you get to play uninjured? Do you
Speaker 1: try to play every day or how do you stay
Speaker 1: active other than basketball before the groin? Sometimes seven days
Speaker 1: a week, but most of the time maybe five. It's
Speaker 1: like my guaranteed sweat or my guarantee. When I eat
Speaker 1: crappy food, I go, oh my god, I better go
Speaker 1: play hoop, you know, to get rid of Hustle. Such
Speaker 1: a good movie again, especially for me. It was a
Speaker 1: big fan of you, A big fan of sports movies.
Speaker 1: And when you did Uncut Gems, you know, I felt
Speaker 1: like you were snubbed a nomination. Do you feel like
Speaker 1: when you nail a serious movie that you want to
Speaker 1: do it and you don't get the nomination, which I
Speaker 1: thought I thought you were gonna get it. Honestly, it's like,
Speaker 1: so I just thought it was going to be there,
Speaker 1: and when it was, and I was disappointed for it
Speaker 1: because we're best friends and stuff. But do you feel
Speaker 1: like when you almost nail it that you should go
Speaker 1: back and do another one because you've gotten so close
Speaker 1: to it and it's like you're there, they just need
Speaker 1: you to do one more real serious movie, and you
Speaker 1: know in a row. I don't know, man, I don't
Speaker 1: even know what I think anymore. Like when I did
Speaker 1: that Gems movie, I just that Oscar stuff kind of
Speaker 1: comes out up. They start talking about it and blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, oh maybe this and that, And then I
Speaker 1: started going, well, if I got to if I got
Speaker 1: to go and talk about this and run around and
Speaker 1: meet people who vote and all that stuff, I was like,
Speaker 1: let me just let me just say I want this
Speaker 1: thing real bad. But I gotta tell you it wasn't
Speaker 1: on my mind in real life. When I came out
Speaker 1: to Hollywood as a kid, I just wanted to be
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy. Man. I didn't think about an Oscar. But
Speaker 1: when I do stuff like this, do I do my best.
Speaker 1: I work at my ass off, and I do want
Speaker 1: it to be I don't want to let people down.
Speaker 1: I don't want to let people, the directors down, people
Speaker 1: who put the money into it. All. I try to
Speaker 1: do as good as I can. And then also, you know,
Speaker 1: my kids get psyched if I'm good good in a movie.
Speaker 1: It's fun to come home and talk about hard work
Speaker 1: and scenes that I did that were interesting. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know man and the Oscar thing that probably
Speaker 1: makes people nuts. I just just just gonna try to
Speaker 1: do good. You mentioned Eddie Murphy, and I've heard people
Speaker 1: say that the first time they met you that they
Speaker 1: were so intimidated by how funny you are, how funny
Speaker 1: they've seen you be, maybe in movies, television, etc. Even
Speaker 1: on stage, which, by the way, your last special was
Speaker 1: so freaking good. Who who was it for you? That
Speaker 1: you saw once you started to make it New York, La,
Speaker 1: that was so funny you made you almost weren'timidated because
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm not that Wow. There's a bunch of
Speaker 1: those in my early days where I would go, oh
Speaker 1: my god, how did he do that? How did she
Speaker 1: do that? Kevin Meaney there was a comedian Kevin Meaney.
Speaker 1: When he went on stage, he would destroy so hard
Speaker 1: that it was just humiliating. You didn't know how to
Speaker 1: go after him. You know, Rodney Dangerfield when I was
Speaker 1: young that that was my guy that made me get
Speaker 1: into this and Eddie and but there's been a lot
Speaker 1: of comedians over the years that I see that I
Speaker 1: just go, well, I don't want to go on after that.
Speaker 1: That's too good. When you finished a movie like Hustle,
Speaker 1: do you hate being done with it? Is it such
Speaker 1: a joy? Or are you like that was awesome? I'm
Speaker 1: ready to finish it so we can get it out there.
Speaker 1: Which one is it? You know? You don't? You don't.
Speaker 1: It's a weird thing when you have it and it's
Speaker 1: still your secret. There's some sort of confidence you got, like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: that that's gonna come out in a month or two
Speaker 1: months or in six months. You kind of have it
Speaker 1: in your pocket. It feels great, and then the closer
Speaker 1: you get to it coming out, you go, oh, no, man,
Speaker 1: it's about to go out, and then it's not mine anymore.
Speaker 1: And it's then it's like once a movie is released.
Speaker 1: I don't know about everybody else, but I'm like a
Speaker 1: little bit sick or I'm just like, all right, I
Speaker 1: better get going again. Figure something out, get moved on
Speaker 1: to the next one, and it kind of goes away
Speaker 1: in your brain a bit. I like hearing about it
Speaker 1: on the street. If somebody talks to me about a
Speaker 1: movie from the past, I like hearing about what they
Speaker 1: like and if they connect it or not. But once
Speaker 1: a movie comes out, like Hustle, I'll be like, all right, man,
Speaker 1: let's see what's next. We've got to get to work,
Speaker 1: all right. Last one for you. So when you work
Speaker 1: with athletes that are so tall yet still are able
Speaker 1: to move like deer, like a seven foot or like dirt,
Speaker 1: they can still be like a way better athlete than
Speaker 1: I could ever be. But he's also I mean that
Speaker 1: it's almost like a science experiment that shouldn't work the
Speaker 1: way it does. Does they ever just get normal to
Speaker 1: you and you're just like that, that's just how it is.
Speaker 1: They're just seven foot and awesome. I mean, dude, I'm
Speaker 1: not I wantcho was insane. All the guys, all the
Speaker 1: guys that were in the movie. When they would just move,
Speaker 1: it's a whole other level of movement. You know that.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what. Bobon, Yeah, just shooting around Bobon,
Speaker 1: he's seven what is he I don't know, seven something
Speaker 1: like seven four or something like that. Nothing like that. Right,
Speaker 1: His hands is so gigantic, his body's built, he's massive,
Speaker 1: but he's moved smooth when he takes a shot, so
Speaker 1: it's got like the softest touch. It's it's just it's
Speaker 1: a whole other thing. Like like you said, I don't
Speaker 1: know how they do it, all right. I hope everybody
Speaker 1: watches Hustle. It's so good. Watch it on Netflix. Also
Speaker 1: going to be in select theaters. Look for it. Adam,
Speaker 1: just a big fan. Just appreciate you and thanks for
Speaker 1: the time. And I would wish you success, but you
Speaker 1: don't need it, so you can wish me success. Would
Speaker 1: you wish me success? At the end of this. I've
Speaker 1: never done this before, so let me have it. Bobby,
Speaker 1: you got a lot of success coming. You're very cool,
Speaker 1: very nice to me. Thank you for that, and you're
Speaker 1: smooth as out man. You got a lot of good
Speaker 1: stuff coming. There. We have it, We heard it right there,
Speaker 1: Adam text buddy, all right, later, guys, it's the best
Speaker 1: bits of the week with Morgan number two. You know,
Speaker 1: it's never fun when your own segment comes in high
Speaker 1: on the list. Especially when it's not a exciting one.
Speaker 1: And this week I had to share some unfortunate news
Speaker 1: about my relationship, which was pretty hard for me. So
Speaker 1: I'm just going to leave that there, you know, because
Speaker 1: if I say anymore, who knows, we may start crying again.
Speaker 1: And I know you guys don't want to see or
Speaker 1: hear that. So here you go. Number two, Well, we
Speaker 1: have some unfortunate news to address. Morgan, I'm gonna come
Speaker 1: over to you and I'll just let you say what
Speaker 1: you want to say. I didn't know she was gonna
Speaker 1: get emotional. No, I'm trying really her not too. But
Speaker 1: my boyfriend and I are no longer together. Oh man,
Speaker 1: I think I didn't know you mean emotional. Sorry about that.
Speaker 1: I know you said we could mention it today. You
Speaker 1: get it over with. Yeah, I'm ready to move forward. Well,
Speaker 1: so obviously we're not gonna extract everything from it. I
Speaker 1: guess the only question is it seemed like pretty recently
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about moving in together. That's a yeah,
Speaker 1: quick quick week and a half or so. Yep. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess I was hopeful that things were going to
Speaker 1: be really great and it was going to stay on
Speaker 1: that path. But you know, you can't dictate what happened
Speaker 1: in somebody's life and how they respond to it. So, um,
Speaker 1: it's not something I wanted and I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: survive right now. That's just one foot forward. Amy, any
Speaker 1: advice for Morgan, I want to get up and give
Speaker 1: her a hug. I mean that's I. We're here for you, Morgan,
Speaker 1: and like, thank you for sharing that with us. I
Speaker 1: obviously was. I was like, wait, what is happening. I
Speaker 1: thought she was meeting. I was surprised too, because I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, shold my boyfriend. I broke up, so
Speaker 1: that meant it's free to talk about and so I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, bad news. Yeah, you would never intentionally
Speaker 1: like be like, oh, something bad coming on. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make her say this, but I don't know. It's so cliche,
Speaker 1: but I have been so heartbroken before Morgan too, But
Speaker 1: at time, like you said, one day at a time,
Speaker 1: taking that next right step for you, and we're here
Speaker 1: for you in this process. I know that it's so
Speaker 1: hard and I'm so sorry, especially sharing as much as
Speaker 1: you do on the air. That's another layer of it too,
Speaker 1: is we try to share what's going on in our
Speaker 1: lives and I'm sure, and Morgan said, she's like, well, amazing.
Speaker 1: A week and a half ago, I was saying we
Speaker 1: might live together, and now I'm saying we're broken up.
Speaker 1: Like that sucks? Did you let's see, did you expect
Speaker 1: to get as emotional right now? Because sometimes when I'm
Speaker 1: about talk about seven, it will just hit me like
Speaker 1: a ton of bricks and I'm like, yeah, I'm good
Speaker 1: to go, and I'm like whoa, and you start to
Speaker 1: lose it. Yeah no, And I and I sat on
Speaker 1: it for a bit to try to avoid that, but
Speaker 1: I can't help it because I'm just really sad, I'm angry.
Speaker 1: I'm feeling so many emotions. So I knew bringing it
Speaker 1: up was going to hurt, but I can't, you know,
Speaker 1: I can't keep having people reach out and ask how
Speaker 1: we're doing. Yeah, casually, that's what happens here. So she
Speaker 1: needs to air it here because we might next something
Speaker 1: gonna be like so when 'all moving? Well? Every time
Speaker 1: I even at was even asking he about okay, you
Speaker 1: guys still together? Right, And then I just kind of
Speaker 1: gave up on that because I kept going yeah, and
Speaker 1: so I was like okay, fine, So I'm glad that
Speaker 1: you told me because I for sure we just fired it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what can we do to help you? Um, bubby telephony story?
Speaker 1: Oh here's a good one, right, Okay, Well, yeah, I
Speaker 1: will not poke and pride. But are you Is it
Speaker 1: over over? I mean, I don't know. I never want
Speaker 1: to say it's over over, but you know, my my
Speaker 1: heart wants that again, and I would still hope for that.
Speaker 1: But I think the universe has a way of doing
Speaker 1: what needs to be done, even if if you don't
Speaker 1: see it at the time. So I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: have belief in that. I don't have a lot of answers.
Speaker 1: It was just like he needed space to heal from
Speaker 1: past trauma and I couldn't fix that. So and I
Speaker 1: can't try. I can't try to hold onto something that
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be held on too as much as
Speaker 1: I would want to. Well, I'm very sorry to hear this.
Speaker 1: I think in a month you will look back and go, wow,
Speaker 1: that was crazy when we were broken up or you
Speaker 1: know what, the probably needed to happen, And now emotionally
Speaker 1: I'm out of it enough to realize it's probably the
Speaker 1: best thing for our independent situations. But Yeah, sucks. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna lie to it. Just sucks. It's pretty miserable. That's
Speaker 1: it one hour to the next, one day to the next,
Speaker 1: and eventually it's one week to the next. He kind
Speaker 1: of it starts to get a little easier. But all right,
Speaker 1: well that's you see me in my tailor swish space.
Speaker 1: Just to mind your business. You have to listen to
Speaker 1: all Taylor sus lunchbox anything. Man, I'm sorry, I'm too.
Speaker 1: I think maybe going public with the she didn't really
Speaker 1: go public, no, no no, no, with the moving in together.
Speaker 1: He kind of got scared, I think. And then also,
Speaker 1: can I say what I'm frustrated about? Yeah, no, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. Let gives her early lead
Speaker 1: for Employee of the Month for sharing this on the air.
Speaker 1: Oh's she said, this is fake? Now what if this
Speaker 1: isn't real and this is Employee the month? Just so,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, we get employee of the month for
Speaker 1: sharing super vulnerable personal stuff. Starts doing the craziest lifestyle. Okay,
Speaker 1: I wish this is fake, y'all. More Agan, we are
Speaker 1: very sorry. M You know, tougher things have happened to
Speaker 1: weaker people and they got to it just fine. It
Speaker 1: sucks right now, You're going to be great in the end,
Speaker 1: regardless of what happens, I promise you. And we're here
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, We're here for you. That's more than
Speaker 1: the hours of five to eleven. Am. I'm kidding what
Speaker 1: I got? One more question? Did he get jealous that
Speaker 1: we dance on TikTok? Is that what it was? That
Speaker 1: could be it? I have nothing to do with him
Speaker 1: because my girl was hanging on a guy like you
Speaker 1: really masculine exactly. Some of those dances were a little
Speaker 1: risque where yeah, making sure all right, Morgan, We're sorry
Speaker 1: to hear that. It's the best bits of the week

Speaker 1: the number one spot because it was just such a funny,
Speaker 1: interesting and all around like chaotically happy interview. We had
Speaker 1: Hank Williams Junior on this week. He performed his song
Speaker 1: Georgia Women, and I'm just gonna tell y'all, this is
Speaker 1: the most colorful and interesting interview we've had in a minute.
Speaker 1: And that's not just because he kept trying to leave
Speaker 1: the whole time, because he wanted to go out into
Speaker 1: the hallway and smoke a cigar. That's not actually why
Speaker 1: I know. He's just an interesting and really awesome human
Speaker 1: being and has had so much life in country music

Speaker 1: Is he liked that all the time? Man? The first
Speaker 1: thing he said when he walked in, we'd never met
Speaker 1: him before. We're all sitting in there. These guys had
Speaker 1: driven up from Mississippim. We didn't know what to expect.
Speaker 1: And the first thing he said was I don't really
Speaker 1: feel like right now. And he went into the other room,
Speaker 1: into the live room, and just lit up a cigar.
Speaker 1: No one had ever smoked a cigar in the studio.
Speaker 1: So that's how it started. So both as an artist
Speaker 1: and a producer, like, it's got to be really hard
Speaker 1: to get your time, So why Hank Junior of all
Speaker 1: the people they're begging for your time? Oh? I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of Hank Junior. I just you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, when when I found out that he was

Speaker 1: something fun. So I called Kenny Brown here he played
Speaker 1: with r L since the seventies, Kent Kimbro Junior, Kimbro's son,
Speaker 1: Eric Deatonum. These guys played on some of my favorite
Speaker 1: blues records of all time. Um, and I thought they'd
Speaker 1: be a perfect fit. And they were. Hank, you know,
Speaker 1: Hank figured out who he was in the room with
Speaker 1: and he just like he ate it up. He loved it.
Speaker 1: Did he make a calm thunderhead like me? Nah? Okay,
Speaker 1: that's just me, okay, all right. So here's the deal
Speaker 1: that the song they played was called Georgia Women, and
Speaker 1: the record comes out June seventeenth. June seventeenth, Rich White
