I'm Morgan. 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:13.760 In case you missed it, we separated the podcast into 0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:16.320 two parts. This is Part two, where it's just the 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:20.320 Bits at break down the top seven, most engaging, most liked, 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:24.639 most called in about segments of the week and share 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:26.760 with you guys so you can either catch up if 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:29.240 you missed it, or listen to it again in case 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.760 you want to listen to it again. And Part one 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:35.360 is where I actually break down the show with a 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.840 show member. We come on and talk about all kinds 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:39.880 of things. Sometimes we talk about what happened on the show. 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.800 Other times we just kind of get deep down and personal, 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:44.680 which is typically what Abby and I do when she 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:46.760 was my guest this week on part one, So make 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.080 sure you check that out. We're gonna dive right in. 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.760 At number seven, Eddie shared something that his kid has 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.800 been going through recently, and I think a lot of 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:58.320 parents and unfortunately some kids can relate to this one. 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:03.320 So his has been dealing with some bullying issues with basketball, 0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:05.959 which is super unfortunate and it broke my heart to 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.559 hear that. But Eddie gives a loadown of what happened, 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.560 how he responded to it, and of course we had 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.560 some listeners call in and share some of their input. 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.000 Number seven, Okay, Eddie, what happened with your kid? Oh? 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.520 This was tough. So my seven year old he's joining 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.960 a new basketball team and he shows up and he's 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.759 little for his age. So he shows up and two 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.160 boys in his team are laughing at him, just saying like, 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:29.800 look at this guy. He's so short, he's not gonna 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.240 make any of the baskets. And my son hears him, 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.640 and I'm one of the I mean, I guess all 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.840 the dad's chip in, so we're all kind of coaches. 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:38.880 So if we're at practice, we're all helping out and 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.039 I'm right there hearing them laugh every single time my 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.080 son takes a shot, so I get a little fired 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.720 up over it. So they're saying he's too small, Yes, 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.080 are they trying to block a shot? So now we're 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.400 doing layup drills and every time he goes up for 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.120 the layup, they're like, what's this little guy's gonna try 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:56.800 to make a layup? He's not even gonna get closed 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.960 with the basket. But hey, my son's draining every single one. 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.200 And they say it about five times, and finally the 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:04.960 fifth time, I'm like, oh, that's it. I'm about to 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.440 say something, so I said, I pull him both aside 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.120 and say, hey, you too, there's no laughing at your teammates. 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.400 I don't care who your teammate is. You guys have 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.280 each other's back. I hear you guys laughing at his size, 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.800 but I guarantee you he'll school both of you guys. Oh, 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.000 and that's probably not the way to do. You don't 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.480 have to go that hard right now. Yeah, well, now 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.280 you're like making him want to compete against your son, 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:26.920 like I'll guarantee you'll take both of you down. But 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.440 I think that was the emotion talking. Yeah. I didn't 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.440 really mean to say that, but that just slipped out. 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:32.799 But I was really just trying to say, like, hey, 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.960 no laughing at your teammate, back him up. I like 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:39.480 that part. Yeah, I guess. I guess deep inside, I 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.200 know how good my son is. Like he's really good. 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.000 And it's happened every single season where the team, the 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:46.800 opposing team sees him and they're like, look at this 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.160 little point guard he's not and he just dominates because 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.240 he's fast. He does make every shot and he's really 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.440 really good. So part of me was like, oh, you 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.760 fools are gonna take your laughing back because he's gonna 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.639 school you up. He affected when he hears that. Oh 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:00.360 it hurt. It hurt him a little bit because I 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.200 could see him listening and every single time he would 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.720 miss a layup, he'd look at the reaction and he 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.880 makes every shot. Well, he doesn't make a single one, 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.120 but every time he did miss one, he would look 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.320 back to see their reaction, and of course they were 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.200 laughing again. Okay, so what would you do? That's a 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.160 question you guys can call us to how would you 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:22.400 deal with this? Eight seven seven seventy seven, Bobby, We 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.079 will grab your calls. We'll talk about it right after 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:29.320 this song. My quick advice as a young wance small 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.400 kid that had the same thing happened to me. I 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.200 had to learn how to let it drive me. Right. 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.480 I don't have anybody given me a massage going hey bubba, 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.160 he'd be okay, and it will be okay, and you 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:41.960 can do that. I just didn't have that, and so 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.240 I let that crap drive me to the point probably 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.040 i'm extra neurotic at this point in my life. But 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.160 I think that that's I think adversity is awesome. I 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.160 think the fact that I don't like the bullying, I 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:53.680 don't like to start saying that, and you can actually 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.400 put a stop to it. But I think let's see 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.080 how he reacts. What does he think. Is he reacted 0:03:58.120 --> 0:03:59.520 to it doesn't drive him to want to work harder, 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:00.680 or is he just kind of like, I don't want 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.000 to play at all. I think a little bit of both. 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:03.720 They can see it in him where at first he's 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:04.880 just kind of like, oh, I don't like that they're 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.280 laughing at me. But yeah, he does try extra hard 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.400 to make that layup when they when it is his turn, 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:10.680 just so you can shut him up a little bit. 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.119 But I think that's the that's the play, is that 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.200 you try to build that too. Okay, people are always 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.279 going to say this about you. It's how you react, 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.520 it's how you show up. Oh that's good, instead of 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.880 it's okay, buddy, it's you know what, this is part 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.920 of it. I don't like it either, but it's gonna 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.600 happen to you the rest of your life in some 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.360 way or another, and it's not you know if you 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.720 get knocked down or if you get made fun of. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.520 It's when you get knocked down or when you get 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.760 made fun of, how do you react to that. I 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.640 think that's the lesson. But what I know? Kids, No, 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.520 but you were like you said this, you were that person. 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.520 I'm still that guy. Yeah, everywhere I go kill like, 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.360 look at him, he ain't gonna make that shot, and 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.200 I'm like, I'm not playing basketball. I'll try to get 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:57.360 a Starbucks. It's the best Bits of the Week with 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:01.120 Morgan number two. This week, it was a special one 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.560 full of so many special guests. One of the coolest 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.960 things was Dirk Spilly and el King. They came in, 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.719 talked about both of the collapse that they have together, 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.840 and they performs their new one Worth a Shot. I've 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.720 loved el King from the very beginning, and to see 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.960 her now in the country genre is so fun, especially 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:23.200 when Dirk's come in and he's like all about her 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.000 and wants her to have all the success. It was 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:28.039 just a super fun interview and performance. So make sure 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:29.880 if you don't listen to it right here, you go 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.000 check it out at Bobby Bones dot com. Number six. Oh, 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.000 it is really good to see you again. Nice to 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.120 see you too, good, thank you, and we come on it. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.719 Apparently Dirk's does a residency here on the show. He's 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.080 here every week so for different reasons. Did you know 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.760 he just comes in randomly? No. Yeah, Sometimes they come 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:46.719 in and don't even sing. I just hang out, you know, 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.120 kind of judge the show a little bit. Seat's going 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.000 and I want to keep listening or not. He's like 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:52.400 the voice, but for this show he comes on. It 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.400 tells us that the show's good. Oh yeah, smart, yes, yes, yes, Ella, 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.560 you are here. We just spent some time together at 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.679 my house when we're doing a Bobby cast and Mike, 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.000 who produces that, told me that that I went hard 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:05.960 on her. Did you think I went hard on you? 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.200 I would rather someone be honest and real with me. 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:14.320 I would rather take something, you know, genuine than fake. 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.800 I guess so. And I wasn't meaning it in any 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:18.599 way that I had a whole different I was wrong 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.559 about my perception of all. I thought she was fancy 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:24.160 Hollywood girl, and I said that. I said my perception 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:25.520 was totally wrong on you, and I admitted that. I 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.320 said I thought you were from Los Angeles, and you 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.440 know you came to and I said, I was completely 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.120 one hundred percent wrong, and from you know, growing up 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.240 in southern Ohio to living on a farm now. And 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.839 I was like, I apologize that. I'm really sorry that 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.240 I felt the wrong way about you. I think too, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.240 you're so talented I think that could be intimidating at 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:48.240 times too to someone like, well, I'll say it, Charlie Worsham. No, me, 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.800 I'm just getting diver tip of the time. My first 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.200 time being the studio with Bobby and you made me 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:57.560 sing the YMCA theme song. Yeah, how to Go Terrible. Yeah, 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.440 that's the whole thing. Yeah, we're just now getting over 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.760 that point. Friendship at this point too. It so it's 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.080 a thing. So l King is here and he dirks. 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.320 I'd asked l I said, hey, since you had asked 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.279 her to do different for girls, yeah, right, and she 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.640 did it. Did she have a coupon at anytime she 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.320 could have cashed in on you, like, at any time, 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:18.040 regardless of how good amazing a polka song, It didn't 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:19.520 matter if she said I'd like to do this song 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:21.880 with me, you have to do it, oh man, I 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.760 would you have say yes? Obviously, yes, anything she asked 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.480 to do because I love El to death, but I 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.680 feel honored to be on the songs. It's a build, 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.320 smash hit song that I love now that I get 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.520 a chance to be with you. It's just I feel 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.320 like ELL's got so much good things happening for right now. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:36.720 I'm kind of like, yeah, let me be part of 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.200 anything you have happening right now because you're hot. What 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.680 was it about her initially that drew you to her? Yes, 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:43.560 you know, you are just talking about the conversation. I 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.720 only knew else since I met her. I knew that 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.560 XS and OS and that song, and I had that 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.840 song different for girls, the Shame mcnell i song that 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.120 I loved, and I was trying to find someone that 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.760 could sing that song that it's kind of a weird song, 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.120 you know, different for girls. It's it's it's talking about 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.480 I mean, the reality of things of life is a 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.440 lot of things are different for girls, but not for 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:01.760 l It was kind of weird for her to sing 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.920 on it because she's like, you know, rolls or sleeps 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:06.480 up and and fights her way into the room and 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.520 not girly girl at all. But she has enough confidence 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.560 as you're talking about earlier and to be able to 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.080 take on that role. And she's the only one I 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.800 really can see singing that song and playing it off 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.440 and not. You know, it's just such a chuck position 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.200 for you in a cool way because everything we were 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.040 singing about, like I do yeah, Like she's the one 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.760 drinking Monster energy coffee drink this morning and I'm drinking 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.160 a decalf coffee. It's like it's our roles are totally 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:31.080 actually reversed. But I just so, I've only known her 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.440 as like playing the banjo, you know, she to me 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.840 is has always been like a country kind of singer girl. 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.200 And that's we know each other now for about five years. 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.920 Don't age me. I can't remember, but I would have 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:43.840 sung anything she asked me to do. I'm thankful she 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.600 asked me to sing on a big hit. Um, but 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.520 uh yeah, I'm a huge fan. Did you know she 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.079 started playing the band joke? She saw a guy in 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.480 a park in Philadelphia just random playing it. Then I started, Yeah, 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.360 I saw him, and I was like, anything you can 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:58.720 do I could do maybe okay, And I was like, 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.880 let me play it, and you know, let me borrow 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:02.800 that banjo for like, can you listen to Bobby cast. Oh, 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.040 it's it's really good. Yeah, it's really good because especially 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:06.400 after this little thing, I need to go back and 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:07.720 check it out. I didn't even know there was a thing. 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.360 I was just like, hey, did you feel like and 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.200 then Michael was like, yeah, you just kind. But also 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:12.600 the air was out of my house and I think 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.400 I was a little crabby. Yeah, he was warm. I 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:19.720 was fine, Well, I try no, stop, you stop. We 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.640 don't need that. But she can't. I was like, l 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.959 I'm so, I'm so embarrassed that the air is out 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:25.920 of my house. It's eighty degrees and she's like, I 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:27.880 don't care, let's let's go. And I'm you know me, 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.319 I'm Beyonce. I don't know. The temperature is not exactly 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.880 right with my water and so but she rocked it 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.440 and it was awesome. Gonna hope you guys check it out. 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:35.839 And we talk a lot about this song too, which 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.400 is what we're gonna play here and so worth the shot. 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.160 It's l King with Dirk Spentley. So, el, what drew 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.199 you to this song? You heard it and thought I 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.800 love it? Why? Well, I mean it's it's very very catchy. 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:53.120 Um and it was it happened really really quickly. We 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:58.200 had done like five six songs all just slammed into 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.199 one day and we were kind of scrambling just trying 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.320 to find songs and Ross was like, hey, I've got 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.560 this one, and um Dirk's was going to cut it 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.360 and and I don't know why it didn't make the record, 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.240 probably because you're waiting for me. I knew on the 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.439 right Home. He was just like waiting to deliver it 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.319 on a platter. But Ross played it for me and 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.360 I was like, dying, that's catchy, and yeah, it's just 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.640 like hey, Dirk's like we you And then I sent 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.960 the text that we talked about like hey man, you 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.800 don't have to say yes, but like have you really 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:29.679 wanted to? Like I can't put had a country record 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.040 and like not have you sing on mine? And but 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:36.720 it's not like he doesn't like owe me anything. This 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.880 is all like forever indebted to him and also saying 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.200 like you brought me here, like can will you still 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:48.920 be a part of what you like led me to? Yeah? Well, 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.160 thank you? And the story of the song is interesting 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:52.840 for him out there listening because it's cool to see 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.040 how songs find their home. You know, it's like shame 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.400 mcnelli and Ross. He's a great songwriters, but they probably 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.960 only get like three or four great songs a year. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.160 And I feel a huge responsibility and I'm running my 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:03.679 own record and then someone pitches me the song and 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:04.920 I hear it and got it's a big hit. But 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:06.360 I kind of want to put this one up there 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.600 rocause I'm really attached to it, but I don't want 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.600 to like jeopardize these guys. One baby of a song. 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.200 It's such a good song. So I was kind of 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:14.720 sitting on it and then I heard they like love it, 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.520 and I'm like, yes, give it to l She'll make 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.640 it a hit. And I just I care about those guys. 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.400 My friends are songwriters, and you care about them. You 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:22.720 don't want to hold their song up. You know, you 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:24.360 get this song you just sit on and now I'll 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:25.559 think about that. Let me come back to me in 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.320 a year. And then the song's lost this moment, it 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.000 doesn't have a heat left, and you just like destroyed 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.080 somebody's chance to have like a hit song. So I 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.000 was super happy this this song found the right home 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:34.959 and then kind of calmer, I think it came back 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:36.200 to me with a chance to be part of it. 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.280 I still got to be on the song, but it's 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:45.440 it's your song. Finally, this is Elking with Dirk Spenley 0:11:45.559 --> 0:12:04.480 and the band doing worth a shot. We've been turning 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:13.480 into stranger now we believe in superficial conversation because I 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:18.280 got his always, I'm not ready to give up on us. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:25.400 One last to right and might just do that. Train 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:33.960 might be in a bottle, little proof from the past, 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:40.839 might be the bottom of an empty glass. Don't blow 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:49.280 if Al Whiskey can fix it on mind babies, What 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.720 the shot? One shot from the top of the show, 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.040 Mete too, What the hell? Because we've been on the 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.800 right one shote mete all that we got. I don't know. 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:15.040 I think it's worth the shot.

She said that drunken 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.880 I don't want to go home so good had actually 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.560 written years prior. Did you know this? I didn't know this? 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.840 That song is? It's so good. The song is so good, 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.640 the vocals are so good. It's it's a killer song. 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:33.720 The more I hear it, the more I mean, I 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.560 always have loved it every time it comes on the radio. 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.000 Now I'm just like, I just dig into something else 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:38.440 that I love about that song. But yeah, I don't know. 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.000 I didn't know you've written a long time ago? Is 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.880 that on the Boby cast? It is? But but the 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.520 interesting things? And I want to ask you the same question, Dreks. 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.080 But oh you wrote that how many years ago? I 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.040 was about twenty four, so eight years ago. So if 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:53.040 you write that eight years ago, and she sat on it, 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.360 but she had she rewrote it right with it. I hated. 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.480 I hated the verses. Yeah, the verses were crap. Did 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.680 you ever do Dirk for young song? No? Okay, okay, 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.360 all right, Well No, Usually the song is written and 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.440 then it's just like such a great song, and then 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:07.200 time goes on. I'm just started thinking about I don't 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:08.840 even know where with my catalog I'm want to go back, 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:10.480 And I mean, I've written a lot of songs a 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.200 lot of people that just for some reason, the song 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.680 just doesn't make it to the the album, which is 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:16.560 crazy because it's just kind of like almost a timing thing. 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:18.880 You right, you have a you know this record, I'm 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.480 Morgan right now, I'm on my third version of it. 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.120 So there's a lot of songs that just didn't make 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.200 it for some reason to the next phase, and they're 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.320 just great songs, and you know, they just kind of disappear. 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:29.840 Did you have a song Dirk said, lasted a long 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:31.960 time and made it And you're like that, I can't 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:33.400 believe the thing lasted that long and then it was 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.200 a big hit, like years and years because I then 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.480 written a long time ago, or yeah, sure, because that's 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.200 her situation with dropping I don't want to go home, 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.240 and she wrote it. But you knew right all that 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.440 the hook was so strong that eventually it would be 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.040 something for somebody, right, Oh, hell yeah, And so you 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.080 even tried to you thought about selling the song to 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:51.200 like a DJ. Yeah, I mean my manager right there, 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:55.160 I've been We've been messaging for like like a year 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.080 before that, like we have to give this to a 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.800 DJ or somebody. I can't. I can't just let this 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:04.280 chorus like die. And and so I was like, let's 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.320 just rewrite it. But it taught me a lot because 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.520 now we have other songs and it now you can 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.879 really kind of shift and open your mind about, you know, 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:16.320 songwriting process, and like, I love this one thing about 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.040 this song, but this is where it doesn't hit. So 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.240 it's okay to you know, throw the baby out and 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.119 kind of restarted. Yeah, you can always fall back on 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:26.679 what was there. Man, it's hard to I mean you 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:28.360 guys Charlie about this too. It's hard to take a song. 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.480 It's like half that you write. And he's like, I 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:32.560 don't like it. I'm gonna go back and red purpose 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:34.359 the song. I think once it's written, it's kind of 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:36.040 like for me, it seems like it's locked in. It's 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.239
