Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be a crazy uh. It doesn't
Speaker 1: have to beat some goal like playing Arenas that's a
Speaker 1: massive Oh, I think you'll get there. You're killing it.
Speaker 1: I think that's all. But it can be. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: it's it's being more attentive as a dad. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I've got stuff like that. Is you know, put my
Speaker 1: phone down, spend more time with my kids. So you

Speaker 1: kids and there it is. So I love like all seriousness.
Speaker 1: I love it because I subscribe to that method. Two
Speaker 1: that's super cool man. Yeah, man, would you, because you're
Speaker 1: so good when you perform in the studio, would you
Speaker 1: give us like a verse and a chorus of New Truck,
Speaker 1: your current single. Yeah, here regret If you're looking, you're
Speaker 1: in alone. I need a new true. That's good, good,

Speaker 1: no special effects. Yeah, he's sound great, man, you especially
Speaker 1: for early in the morning. His new album is out.
Speaker 1: It's out this week. Pretty pumped. I mean it's always
Speaker 1: a big deal, like having a baby. Dude, I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: This is my second album. I've been in this town
Speaker 1: ten years. It was four years ago, or at least
Speaker 1: my first album, so it's been four years since my
Speaker 1: last album, my last body of work. And I'm just pumped. Man.
Speaker 1: I feel really good about it. So New Truck is
Speaker 1: the very first track on the record. The second track
Speaker 1: is Amen to that. Now we've got two options here, yep,
Speaker 1: do you know that? One? I can play a little
Speaker 1: bit of it because I can play a clip of it,
Speaker 1: or you can give us down a dirty Dylan. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what that means. Don't you'll play?
Speaker 1: You gonna play a little bit of it? Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: some of it. Amen to that. Go ahead, mean that
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Dang Morgan Walla one of the
Speaker 1: writers on that song. Yeah, pretty cool. How'd you get
Speaker 1: that song? I don't know how I got that song?
Speaker 1: Man Morgan should have recorded that song. Um. It was
Speaker 1: just sent to me in a body of work and
Speaker 1: I fell in love with it the moment I heard it.
Speaker 1: And this is one of those songs I've had for
Speaker 1: probably three years now. That's just the first two trick.
Speaker 1: If you think that that's only two tracks, the first two,
Speaker 1: that's how good the record is. The entire record. I
Speaker 1: hope you guys check it out. It's called Living My
Speaker 1: Best Life. It came out on Friday. Um So radio
Speaker 1: station used to do this really lame thing where they
Speaker 1: would have an artist and they'd go, um, they say, okay,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna record it, we want you to address
Speaker 1: us specifically in the song, and and so like Zach
Speaker 1: Brown Band had to do it once way when they
Speaker 1: started and be like, I don't remember what it was,
Speaker 1: but like chicken fried here into sclusive but they would hurt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there would be like Pete Pablo was like all radio
Speaker 1: stations everywhere at w and they have them insert that
Speaker 1: radio station and they'd set in a studio. And I
Speaker 1: always hated that they made artists personalized things for they
Speaker 1: made artists. Yeah, do that. So anyway, would you do
Speaker 1: razorback hat instead of rapt Yeah, just for the first
Speaker 1: part of that? Yeah, personalized me. Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 1: I forget what part it was Rocky Top hat. The
Speaker 1: line that amen to that the first part. Just don't
Speaker 1: say Rocky top you just say razorback when it comes out.
Speaker 1: But good rabag. I can't do that though. Man, I'm
Speaker 1: an lsu Fann, but you're not a Tennessee fan and
Speaker 1: you set a Rocky Top hat. So I didn't want
Speaker 1: to point, like you said, I didn't really want to
Speaker 1: personalize it to myself for that, you know, it was
Speaker 1: It's good and Rocky Top one was the last time
Speaker 1: you heard Rocky Top hat. I mean a lot of
Speaker 1: live in Tennessee everywhere. But all I'm saying is a
Speaker 1: razorback hat would have been nice. But okay, we'll play
Speaker 1: the song lest okay send it to you now. I'll
Speaker 1: do a voicemail and send it to you tonight. Don't
Speaker 1: even do it. Dylan Scott is here. Do you want
Speaker 1: to pick another new song that you're loving? To play
Speaker 1: a little clip of that right here on the guitar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we can do that. Do you what you want to do? Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's do it, all right, Dylan Scott, don give us
Speaker 1: one more? Which song? Give us a new song here?
Speaker 1: Tell us about it before you play. Um, why don't
Speaker 1: we do? Uh? I got one? Oh? Yeah one? This
Speaker 1: is probably one of my favorite songs off this album. Um,
Speaker 1: one of them. It's hard to pick, I know, but
Speaker 1: this song here, another one I did not write. There's
Speaker 1: too many great songs in this town. What's it called?
Speaker 1: It's called tough Okay, it's called tough Man, and it's
Speaker 1: about a dad talking. It's a little my favorite, well,
Speaker 1: my favorite. This is one of them story songs you
Speaker 1: gotta listen to. I'll do a verse of chorus for
Speaker 1: that's what you want. But if you listen to this album,
Speaker 1: you gotta listen to it all the way. You're telling
Speaker 1: me that if we listen to the album, we'll hear
Speaker 1: the entire tough song, right, all right? Let's go on
Speaker 1: good love being too. That's a good to a man.
Speaker 1: I like to play out your truck line. I love
Speaker 1: that line. That's like and that's a good song. But
Speaker 1: the whole time I was like, that's yeah, that's like
Speaker 1: relatable and true and yeah. So second verse goes, don't
Speaker 1: talk about you know, don't spoiler spoiler alert, listen to
Speaker 1: the album. That's the goal here, Dylan Scott's here. I
Speaker 1: mean I can. I can feel our listeners going, Oh,
Speaker 1: I really like this guy. This is good. I do
Speaker 1: want to talk about your wife. And I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes Dylan, you have friends and you don't
Speaker 1: only talk to them human form a whole lot, but
Speaker 1: you keep up with them on social media. So even
Speaker 1: when you do talk, you don't feel like a lot
Speaker 1: of times past you ever do that. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I do all the time my friends, but I almost
Speaker 1: feel like that with you a little bit in that
Speaker 1: I watched on social media and I think could be wrong.
Speaker 1: Here the song you played a second ago, the second
Speaker 1: song that you played, which is try to Hell. I
Speaker 1: think I saw you play that on Instagram. Sure, I'm live,
Speaker 1: did I Yeah? So that's how that song is familiar
Speaker 1: to me because I'm obsessed with you. There it is,
Speaker 1: I said it so. But I was watching a clip
Speaker 1: of your wife rap and I think it was on
Speaker 1: the part of a Lincoln it's a Lincoln Park. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it was Lincoln Park. She's uh, she is, um,
Speaker 1: she's she's very shy, but I get her. I get
Speaker 1: her on the phone and I video or without her
Speaker 1: knowing it, and I put it out there for the
Speaker 1: world to see. But she's cool with that. She well
Speaker 1: she is, but she ain't. She's awesome. Yeah, she is. Man,
Speaker 1: she's so cool. So you know you your dad, you're
Speaker 1: an artist. You tore alized, like I'm assuming that she's
Speaker 1: kind of the rock and the family because she's got
Speaker 1: to do it all, especially when you're not home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's the rock star for sure. She stay at home
Speaker 1: mom and um, you know it's crazy. So I've been
Speaker 1: with my wife's I was fifteen years old a long time.
Speaker 1: Seventh grade right, Yeah, well we met in seventh grade,
Speaker 1: started dating like first high school. But she's known like
Speaker 1: my dreams and my goals this whole time. And so
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, it don't matter if I come home
Speaker 1: for a day and I'm like spur of the moment. Oh,
Speaker 1: I gotta get back out and go again. Like she
Speaker 1: never gives me a hard time, never gives me a
Speaker 1: hard time about she's so tired, like the kids are
Speaker 1: wearing me. Never gives me a hard time, And like
Speaker 1: I back that. I mean, she's she's awesome. What is
Speaker 1: there to do in Bashup Louisiana. Nothing, it's nothing to do, okay,
Speaker 1: But if you were to, you're gonna go to If
Speaker 1: you're gonna go to bash Up Louisiana, the town that
Speaker 1: I grew up, what is there? There's I mean there's nothing.
Speaker 1: Used to be a meal, but I mean there's there's
Speaker 1: a really cool courthouse square that I think you should
Speaker 1: get there early and eat the breakfast at this place
Speaker 1: called Pet's. Eat a bite. Now we're talking. If you
Speaker 1: get there at lunch, go to Sladen's Barbecue. Other than that,
Speaker 1: just have two restaurants. Well yeah, a little more than that,
Speaker 1: but that's the only two I recommend. But otherwise you
Speaker 1: just pass on through and just keep on going. So
Speaker 1: it's uh, Basha Louisiana. What's the population there? It used
Speaker 1: to be like twelve thousand. I bet it's probably six
Speaker 1: Now ever, go back, I do. Yeah, yeah, I actually
Speaker 1: built a house there. Um, we finished it a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, and then you know, we sold it
Speaker 1: a probably two months ago. Now, my mom died back
Speaker 1: in December, and I was like, babe, you know, my
Speaker 1: dad's gonna move away. Like we don't really need them.
Speaker 1: You know, we'll go back for Christmas in this sista,
Speaker 1: but we don't need a house there. We don't need
Speaker 1: to be there because we're here and if I'm not here,
Speaker 1: I'm touring. So uh yeah, we sold it Bashel, Louisiana.
Speaker 1: Where's it in the state, Like northeast Louisiana. You got
Speaker 1: boats there, like gambling boats anywhere near? What kind of boats?
Speaker 1: Gambling boats? Gambling? But well, Vicksburg, Mississippi's not too far.
Speaker 1: Tim McGraw grew up about thirty minutes from there. That's
Speaker 1: a cool clear heard there was a clip of you
Speaker 1: saying you'd never met him. Never met Tim? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: know where he lives. Would you like me this? Yeah? Crazy?
Speaker 1: Like I grew up in a town that's thirty minutes
Speaker 1: from Tim. We grew up probably about the same way.
Speaker 1: And I mean he's a little bit older than I
Speaker 1: am obviously, but never met him man, And he's like
Speaker 1: a huge, huge hero of mind. Surprising that you'd never
Speaker 1: met him yet, especially with the success that you've had.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure your cross pats is Yeah, it don't
Speaker 1: happen now it's supposed to. But I give you a
Speaker 1: just pass passed along his story. Josh Turner went up

Speaker 1: week I spilled some tea on Eddie and it was
Speaker 1: a good time for me. You know. I love when
Speaker 1: I get to spill the tea on some of the
Speaker 1: boys on the show because they're always coming at me
Speaker 1: for random things like Eddie and his idea of my
Speaker 1: outfits with artists. That's just the whole thing. If you
Speaker 1: want to check that out, that's up on all our
Speaker 1: social media and stuff. But this week I spilled the
Speaker 1: tea on Eddie and it was a great segment because
Speaker 1: he got called out, he got he got seen, and boy,
Speaker 1: for a moment there, he was a little concerned about
Speaker 1: what was going to happen. So I'm gonna keep stipping
Speaker 1: on my tea and I'm gonna let you, guys hear
Speaker 1: me spill the tea. Number five it is time. Oh well,
Speaker 1: little early tea this morning. Let's spill the tea. It's
Speaker 1: the segment where someone comes to me in confidence. It goes,
Speaker 1: I'd like to share a secret about somebody else on
Speaker 1: the show. Do you think it will be okay? And
Speaker 1: I always say yes, of course, And then that person
Speaker 1: comes out and does spell it public. But the person
Speaker 1: spelling the T is Morgan number two. Oh but she.
Speaker 1: I don't know that she's ever been on as a
Speaker 1: T speller. Does anyone feel like they're probably going to
Speaker 1: be the person has T spelled on them? Definitely? Not me.
Speaker 1: I always feel like it's me always. He's got a
Speaker 1: lot of secrets, guys, That's what he said. I mean,
Speaker 1: he obviously does. If he's it's always going to be me, okay, Morgan,
Speaker 1: who would you like to spill the t on. I
Speaker 1: would like to spill the tea on Eddie. All right,
Speaker 1: what happened? Well, so you know how we heard about
Speaker 1: the uber dropping off about twenty bucks to his house. Right,
Speaker 1: let me gonna recapt the story. Crap Eddie? Oh no, okay.
Speaker 1: So Eddie takes an Uber this is the fast version.
Speaker 1: The uber driver is going the wrong way and he's like,
Speaker 1: this is not the right way. He goes, trust me,
Speaker 1: and then they get to that spot and he's like, Uber,
Speaker 1: I messed up. Eddie's like, I told you the builds
Speaker 1: twenty bucks over. Uber drivers still mell you the check.
Speaker 1: Eddie says, I got twenty bucks from Uber driver. At
Speaker 1: the end, story's over, you got twenty bucks. Everybody's happy.
Speaker 1: Can we not do this? Like really? Like I'm scared.
Speaker 1: I'm scared. Somebody may be listening right now. Who's somebody?
Speaker 1: Go ahead, carry on. If you think you're gonna die,
Speaker 1: we'll just hit a button and go to a side.
Speaker 1: I don't think death, but I mean i'm a little
Speaker 1: What we're gonna do here? Why don't we play the song?
Speaker 1: And if you tell me during this break that you
Speaker 1: could die? Wow? Is this good? I don't know would
Speaker 1: ever have occurred to you that he could maybe die.
Speaker 1: I don't know the story. Ray hit the song here,
Speaker 1: we'll come back, and if we never address it again,
Speaker 1: it's because Eddie said he was gonna die. Okay on that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't think EDI's gonna get murdered. Okay, Morgan finished
Speaker 1: the story. No, he was just a little dramatic. Wait, okay, Lie, dramatic,
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead. So I told him after he
Speaker 1: told us about this uber segment. I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: you can go on the uber app and just tell
Speaker 1: Uber what happened and they will refund you the money
Speaker 1: that was extra that you got charged extra. He was like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't know how to do that. So I go
Speaker 1: on Eddie's Uber app. It really quickly and he gets
Speaker 1: twenty dollars back into his account. Well, he didn't tell
Speaker 1: anybody that, so now he made twenty dollars profit. Guys,
Speaker 1: if this uber driver is listening, he's gonna be so
Speaker 1: upset right now. Does he know what you do? I
Speaker 1: don't know. Okay, Well, then how in the world what
Speaker 1: he happened to stumble across this this early put boys
Speaker 1: together that day? Like if you were an Uber driver,
Speaker 1: and the exact same story that happened to you a
Speaker 1: couple of days ago is being talking on the radio.
Speaker 1: Some people are like, hey, wait a second, that's me.
Speaker 1: I know where you live. He knows where I live.
Speaker 1: You're skating over the issue. If I did something dirty
Speaker 1: like this, we would be raking me over the coals.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, we don't get there. I'm not worried about
Speaker 1: his health. I love it. Smart move. So this is
Speaker 1: what I would say, hate it. It happened, But you
Speaker 1: had the conversation with him right at the end of
Speaker 1: it happening, right right. So then you come in and
Speaker 1: you're like, let me go check with Uber because you
Speaker 1: may not get the money back at all. Who knows
Speaker 1: Morgan helps you. Yes, get your money back, and there's
Speaker 1: no way to stop the transfer of the cash. Yeah. True,
Speaker 1: you can't actually reach happened. You can't say hey, hey, Bra,
Speaker 1: don't worry about you can't get ahold of the bra.
Speaker 1: I don't know the bra, right, that's why he dropped
Speaker 1: the cash off in my mailbox. Is only twenty percent
Speaker 1: shad think wait, wait, did you do the Uber thing
Speaker 1: after you got the cash? No? No, that's what I
Speaker 1: just said. No, I'm just making sure I want to
Speaker 1: make check his honest. Okay, that's where I was being honest. Guys, Yes,
Speaker 1: you did it after No, he just didn't tell anyone
Speaker 1: what happened in the uber's money. Why would you would
Speaker 1: you tell anyone? No? No, before? But it's also I
Speaker 1: would so what you can educate all of us to
Speaker 1: know that that's something that you can do inside the app. Yeah. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: you guys can google that if you mess that she
Speaker 1: told you. Okay, so you went on. He cost you
Speaker 1: twenty extra. He said he paid you twenty back because
Speaker 1: he was wrong. He paid you that twenty back. But
Speaker 1: before you got it back, you actually went to the
Speaker 1: app and said, hey, I just kind of got messed up, Morgan.
Speaker 1: I gave Morgan the phone. Yeah, so technically I didn't
Speaker 1: even do it. She did it. You didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm on your side. It's only twenty percent shady, and
Speaker 1: it's only twenty percent shady if you don't do something
Speaker 1: good with that twenty dollars extra. In the words of
Speaker 1: lunchbox money gone sorrow money. Okay, Oregan, you spilled the tea.
Speaker 1: Thank you for that. That is spilled the tea. Let's
Speaker 1: just spill you very much. It's the best bits of
Speaker 1: the week with Morgan. Number two. For the very first time,
Speaker 1: Abby made her debut on Broadway this past weekend. We
Speaker 1: talked about it on the show this week, how it
Speaker 1: all went, how the listeners showed up for her, and
Speaker 1: of course how Lunchbox didn't show up but kind of
Speaker 1: showed up also. I went. I thought she did awesome
Speaker 1: and it was cool to see her get to live
Speaker 1: out her dream a little bit. So cool segment and
Speaker 1: definitely a good one to hear if you're all about
Speaker 1: chasing those dreams. Number four, it was a big weekend
Speaker 1: for our phone screen or Abby who moved to Nashville
Speaker 1: to be a singer and now she works here on
Speaker 1: the show. But kind of a rekindling of your singing
Speaker 1: career as of the last year or so. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you go out? You had to learn how many songs?
Speaker 1: Oh ma'am? At least well forty? Can you go out?
Speaker 1: What bar did you play? Alan Jackson? For their people
Speaker 1: there there were a few. Broadway was like not as
Speaker 1: busy as I've seen it. It It was very tame. I
Speaker 1: feel like good. So leis you to go do then probably, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well I kind of wanted it to be a little
Speaker 1: more wild, like just more people talking, mingling. It was
Speaker 1: very an intimate setting. I would say. It was on
Speaker 1: the second floor, a tiny stage. Chad and I were
Speaker 1: on there. Um, he plays his guitar and then people
Speaker 1: were just like right there. Were you nervous? Yes, nervous
Speaker 1: before or nervous once you got there? Both? So you
Speaker 1: play what was the very first song you sang? Oh?
Speaker 1: What was it? I think Wild Angels by Martina sing
Speaker 1: the first line of that if you if you know it,
Speaker 1: you know what? Do you need the guitar part? Sometimes
Speaker 1: that's tough about the music. Oh my gosh, I don't
Speaker 1: remember how it starts. How's the star? See? This is me?
Speaker 1: Oh and this is what happened too. Just you forget
Speaker 1: the words that happens sometimes to me as well. Yeah everyone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like Eddie and I have played these songs one hundred
Speaker 1: times and we got hit him exactly right because we
Speaker 1: have jokes in them, and I'll forget the I mean,
Speaker 1: Eddie forgets it every show all the time. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: don't don't worry about that so much. How many times
Speaker 1: do you think you forgot a word or a lyric
Speaker 1: or a line, probably in like five songs out of twenty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's not very good ratio and beyond. We gotta get
Speaker 1: a little better at that. Okay, how would you grade
Speaker 1: your performance, oh man? Out of how many A through F?
Speaker 1: Oh way through? I'd say a C. I'm very hard
Speaker 1: on myself and I was. I walked away not very happy.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, who showed up from
Speaker 1: this little area? Morgan? That's good? Did you like it up? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So I thought it was so sweet. I really liked it.
Speaker 1: But then I felt pressure. It was like, oh shoot,
Speaker 1: I have to do really good, Morgan. What'd you say
Speaker 1: once you got to Abbie's gig? She did really good.
Speaker 1: She was definitely nervous, Like her voice sounded awesome. But
Speaker 1: if there will be anything I would tell her is
Speaker 1: that when she messes up, she just has to keep
Speaker 1: moving on. She can't pay attention to it, just focus
Speaker 1: on it. Oh sorry, yeah, that's kind of thing. She
Speaker 1: got a little frustrated with herself, but like her voice
Speaker 1: sounded amazing, she just needed to not draw more attention
Speaker 1: to her mishaps. That's okay, I would coach those kids
Speaker 1: in American Idol, and I would say, if you mess up,
Speaker 1: even on camera and there are five six seven million
Speaker 1: people watching, they don't know you messed up. You're the
Speaker 1: only one that knows you messed up. So you just
Speaker 1: keep going. And if you have to make up something
Speaker 1: for a second, then make up something for a second
Speaker 1: and get back to a spot that you know. If
Speaker 1: you don't show and this is generally in life, not
Speaker 1: just in music. If you don't show that there's some
Speaker 1: sort of mishap, people don't know there's some sort of mishap.
Speaker 1: So don't call attention to it. But you learned, You
Speaker 1: learned right right, because I did call it out. I
Speaker 1: shouldn't have done that. I was like, Shania would be
Speaker 1: ashamed right now you said that in the Okay, we're learning,
Speaker 1: this is a learning experience. I'd hard to be funny
Speaker 1: and like play it off. Was it a comedy show? No,
Speaker 1: Lunchbox was not allowed to go. Did you ever see
Speaker 1: lunchboxes facing the bar? No? I feel like he was
Speaker 1: hiding or something. You did you show up Lunchbox? What happened? Well,
Speaker 1: so I found out that I'm not allowed to go.
Speaker 1: The rules were set, and I was like, man, how
Speaker 1: am I going to find out how Abby did? So?
Speaker 1: I live with someone that is amazing, And I said, hey, babe,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to go down and watch Abbey seeing
Speaker 1: so you sent your wife. I sent my wife down,
Speaker 1: absolutely did. I packed her in the car. I said, listen,
Speaker 1: I will drop you at the front door. So I
Speaker 1: brought the kids. Oh, you drove her there? Yeah. I
Speaker 1: drove my wife right to the front door and I
Speaker 1: said hey, and I had to explain to her the mission.
Speaker 1: I told her exactly what she had to do to
Speaker 1: go in there and get audio of Abby. So here
Speaker 1: is the first clip, Lunchbox talking to his wife. How
Speaker 1: get here you go? Guys, guys, Okay, So you're gonna
Speaker 1: go in and I'm gonna need you a couple of clips,
Speaker 1: good audio clips and Abby singing. They may not be
Speaker 1: good singing clips because she he really sing but I
Speaker 1: just need you to get you like two different songs,
Speaker 1: her singing. Here's twenty dollars, buy yourself a beer, and
Speaker 1: don't talk to any guys. Okay for those that are
Speaker 1: just listening today, we told Lunchbox he couldn't go because
Speaker 1: he was just going to either harass her or make
Speaker 1: her uncomfortable, because at any second he might harass her.
Speaker 1: So he said, you're not allowed to her first show.
Speaker 1: So he said his wife, Yes, this is a great
Speaker 1: didn't No, you didn't see her? Right? No? I did
Speaker 1: not see her? Is this real? She wear this guy?
Speaker 1: She put on a thing, mustache, she wore a hat,
Speaker 1: put her hair up, you know, but whatever. And here's
Speaker 1: the thing. She goes inside and she's texting me. She's like,
Speaker 1: I don't see Abby, like I don't see her, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, she said she's playing the stage and
Speaker 1: she's like, well, I'm inside and there she's not playing.
Speaker 1: And then she found her upstairs, like she wasn't on
Speaker 1: the main stage down she was upstairs. There's layers of
Speaker 1: lots of bars, a lot of bars haven't front and
Speaker 1: the back. And I understand, but what I'm saying is
Speaker 1: she wasn't the main attraction of the bar, Like if
Speaker 1: you want the main attraction, you put them on the
Speaker 1: front stage, like right there when you walk in, boom,
Speaker 1: there she's playing. But she wasn't. So my wife was confused,
Speaker 1: like I think she's lying. She doesn't really have a gig.
Speaker 1: That'd be funny if the whole thing was a lying Abby.
Speaker 1: Did you ever try to sing on Broadway when you
Speaker 1: moved here? I did. I auditioned at Tootsie's and I
Speaker 1: forgot the words to baby Girl by sugar Lands during
Speaker 1: the audition, and I left like, how about that was
Speaker 1: when I first moved here? And here we are ten
Speaker 1: years later, still fregating the words. Nothing's changed. Okay. Here's
Speaker 1: a clip of Abby singing Faith Hills. Don't play it yet? Ray,
Speaker 1: it matters to me? Do you feel like this? Abby
Speaker 1: doesn't know this is happening? Abby? Do you feel good
Speaker 1: about this song? Yeah? He's one of my stronger ones.
Speaker 1: I feel like, okay, here is it matters to me? Okay? Wait,
Speaker 1: think there? Try to us. His wife took this audio.
Speaker 1: She tries to do runs and it's like, oh, Abby,
Speaker 1: how did you feel? I thought I did good on
Speaker 1: that one. I didn't mess up. I mean, you remember
Speaker 1: the words. Here's Abby singing sugar Lands. How did you
Speaker 1: do on stuck like glue? Abbey? Oh no, this is
Speaker 1: on here? Do we have to show this one messed up?
Speaker 1: I think a little. Probably forgot the words and there's
Speaker 1: a rout I just tell you what. Guys, I can't
Speaker 1: control what happens on stage, Like I didn't do this,
Speaker 1: How can I do it? This one? This was in
Speaker 1: public and my wife is here, I'm not there. So
Speaker 1: not want us to play at Abbey? No for it?
Speaker 1: I mean we can. It was first time, so I'm
Speaker 1: do you not want us to play it? Who you can? Abby?
Speaker 1: I will not play you just say don't play it.
Speaker 1: I won't play it. I don't know what part of it.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard any of the go ahead? Are you sure? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. Oh someone was singing along? Did you
Speaker 1: hear that was singing? You know why? I think Abby
Speaker 1: was like whispering because she wasn't confident in that song.
Speaker 1: You can tell, like the way she's singing up there.
Speaker 1: The other one she actually like was like, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go for it this and she's like that stuck
Speaker 1: stuck on, stuck on? Abby? You playing again anywhere? I
Speaker 1: don't know where? But yeah, are we have plans to

Speaker 1: forget a word, keep singing, I know, keep singing. Problem.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, oh, I like you everybody? Come on?
Speaker 1: Oh I like you. Oh, that's not even the right words.
Speaker 1: Nobody who cares? I think you mad? John Vershby. Did
Speaker 1: you make a lot of money and tips? I mean
Speaker 1: how'd that go? Yeah? I think so more than I
Speaker 1: thought because there really aren't that many people. How much
Speaker 1: did you think you made? Oh? How much I made? Yeah?

Speaker 1: in at the number three spot because he had a
Speaker 1: push up challenge, not just any challenge. Listen, this wasn't
Speaker 1: all the guys on the show doing push ups. No,
Speaker 1: there's a study that came out. Scuba Steve was like,
Speaker 1: I could probably do something similar, and he had to
Speaker 1: do pushups. And it was just super entertaining to watch
Speaker 1: this whole segment play out because two of the guys
Speaker 1: on the show admitted they really can't do push ups.
Speaker 1: Scuba Steve did more than he even thought possible. Just
Speaker 1: you know, and the energy in the room when this
Speaker 1: happened was really fun to be part of. So I
Speaker 1: want y'all to hear it and maybe you can feel
Speaker 1: the energy and get some motivation to do what you
Speaker 1: gotta do today. Number three, Scoob, are you stretched? I

Speaker 1: hearing him, hearing his story was really cool. As someone
Speaker 1: who's younger and wasn't a round when his music kind
Speaker 1: of came out and he was on the scene, this
Speaker 1: was a really awesome interview to hear. So I'm gonna

Speaker 1: you say? I said, Dick? But yeah, you can call
Speaker 1: me Richard now my friends. My friends all call me Ricardo.
Speaker 1: But we're not friends yet. We have to see how
Speaker 1: this goes. Yeah, yeah, I like that because I still
Speaker 1: have maybe some reservations about you myself. So we'll see
Speaker 1: where this goes. Hey, what are you making over there?
Speaker 1: Here's some ice? What what you got a little morning cocktail?
Speaker 1: I'm making a little morning ice? Macha you make that?

Speaker 1: in the bottom of a cup and you've got We've
Speaker 1: got this nine dollars Amazon, little um little like froth.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is, Like it's a whiske thingy,
Speaker 1: but it's a biot battery operat so you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's pretty. It looks really expensive. It's like nine dollars. Listen, Riccardo,
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is, buddy, You don't do
Speaker 1: you even know what match is? Is it green? We
Speaker 1: are you in high school? I wish I don't drink coffee,
Speaker 1: so I don't know what. Oh wow, if you started
Speaker 1: drinking coffee, we could be friends. Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: My grandma died from coffee overdose, and so now I'm sad. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's just that was unnecessary. I'm kidding. She didn't she didn't. Hey, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan. Really, it's this is super cool
Speaker 1: for me to talk to you. So I really appreciate
Speaker 1: the time. Like I'll just say it up front that
Speaker 1: I'm kind of geeking out a little bit, not only
Speaker 1: you as an artist, but also you as a songwriter.
Speaker 1: So upfront, in a in a very sensitive way, like
Speaker 1: massive fan, thank you for spending a few minutes with me.
Speaker 1: That's so nice man, Thank you and congratulations you guys
Speaker 1: are chicken butt. Thanks. So here's a couple of questions
Speaker 1: we have for you. First of all, you had on Instagram.
Speaker 1: You had shared Abby our phone screener. She answers phone.
Speaker 1: She produces some segments, but she was singing, and you
Speaker 1: pushed and shared, and so we took that as an
Speaker 1: endorsement that you think she's a pretty good singer. Now,
Speaker 1: do you share people that are only good singing your
Speaker 1: songs or just anybody singing your songs? There's a loaded
Speaker 1: questions We're going to get right through it, you know. Generally,
Speaker 1: being honest with you, I very rarely share anything that
Speaker 1: I think would like hurt somebody's ears. So as much
Speaker 1: as I'll like it, and I'll even sometimes go hey thanks,
Speaker 1: great job, and I'm not going to repost it if
Speaker 1: it's not very good. So yeah, she sounded good and
Speaker 1: all kidding aside. Like, to me, that's the ultimate compliment
Speaker 1: as a songwriter is when anyone wants to take the
Speaker 1: time to learn your song and he especially now posted
Speaker 1: on those socials. That means that that song means something
Speaker 1: to them in some way, even if it's just something
Speaker 1: that they think, oh, I think I sound good singing
Speaker 1: this song. That's the ultimate songwriter compliment, you know. So Abby,
Speaker 1: he is saying he enjoyed it. What do you want
Speaker 1: to say to him? I love it, thank you, I
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Yeah, No, Abby, you sounded good. I mean
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have reposted it if he sucked. What would
Speaker 1: you say to Abby who she moved to Nashville super
Speaker 1: su occur and singing and then you know, she couldn't
Speaker 1: remember some words and she ran out of the audition
Speaker 1: once that she gave up, but now she's kind of
Speaker 1: back trying again, Like regardless of her talent, what would
Speaker 1: you say to someone going through this? What are your
Speaker 1: inspiring words to her? Richard H Well, I mean, you
Speaker 1: can't you really want to have a career. It can't
Speaker 1: be despite not having talent, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's like that's kind of like a given. You kind
Speaker 1: of have to have that, and she does. But I
Speaker 1: would say, you know, on one hand, it's never been
Speaker 1: easier to get attention and to get music out there
Speaker 1: because of social media and streaming, and you know, you
Speaker 1: don't need a record deal, you don't need a publisher anymore.
Speaker 1: You just need to like do fill up your content.
Speaker 1: You need to feed the beast. So I think if
Speaker 1: you're not a songwriter, then you got to find songs
Speaker 1: that you think you sound great doing. But also you
Speaker 1: don't want to do songs Like when I hear people
Speaker 1: trying to cover Whitney Houston songs, I'm always like, what
Speaker 1: do you think you sing this better than Whitney? Did
Speaker 1: you know? Maybe find another song that suits you even
Speaker 1: better that you're not where you're not, nobody's comparing you
Speaker 1: to the original necessarily. You know. That's why I think
Speaker 1: a girl singing a guy song or a guy singing
Speaker 1: a girl song sometimes it's a clever move. Abby, Are
Speaker 1: you inspired? Okay? Richard Marxby, You know, it's funny we're
Speaker 1: talking to a songwriter. So if you got any songs
Speaker 1: he need female to sing? Here I go. She just
Speaker 1: went before it, she just went for it. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: I'm not boy. Hey, rich in your career, was there
Speaker 1: ever a time Richard that, um, let's go back to
Speaker 1: the eighties when you were as an artist, you were
Speaker 1: on TV on my all the time and you were
Speaker 1: just crushing, crushing, crushing. Was there ever a moment before
Speaker 1: that happened where you had to go and just like, hey,
Speaker 1: can I have this? Can? I like? What? Just Abby?
Speaker 1: Did you awkwardly? Did you ever have to do that
Speaker 1: awkwardly to people? Oh? Yeah? So um my songwriting career
Speaker 1: really started that way in that I had written a
Speaker 1: handful of songs that when I was a senior in
Speaker 1: high school that somehow magically made their way, that the
Speaker 1: tape made there, made its way to Lionel Richie. Mine
Speaker 1: was she heard my cassette tape and called me. My
Speaker 1: phone number was written on the back. He called me
Speaker 1: in my parents' house and was so encouraging of me,
Speaker 1: and he said, man, I really liked your voice and
Speaker 1: you should move to LA when you graduate from high
Speaker 1: schoo which is what I did. And then he hired
Speaker 1: me as a background singer on his first solo album
Speaker 1: when he left the Commodorees. And around a year later
Speaker 1: he recommended me as a background singer to Kenny Rogers,
Speaker 1: who was huge still at that time in the eighties.
Speaker 1: And so there I am, you know, singing background vocals
Speaker 1: on this Kenny Rogers album and he's there studio and
Speaker 1: I went up to him and said, I'm a songwriter.
Speaker 1: I'd love to play you the song I wrote for you.
Speaker 1: And he should have thrown me out of the studio.
Speaker 1: He should have had security, you know, throw me on
Speaker 1: the street. But he was cool and he said, yeah,
Speaker 1: let me hear it, and we sat down at the
Speaker 1: piano and he cut my song and then he cut
Speaker 1: two more in my songs, and that launched my songwriting career.
Speaker 1: So I was lucky enough to the friend Lionel do.
Speaker 1: I did four season of American Idol and so was
Speaker 1: line was awesome. And now I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: because Linel was seventy and he's just amazing once he
Speaker 1: got older with perspective, but he's the kindest guy. Was
Speaker 1: he like that even when he was young and killing it? Then, Yes,
Speaker 1: I've never known anybody who was a superstar who acted
Speaker 1: less like a superstar than Mile. He's just the most
Speaker 1: gracious kind he can you know, he's still got a
Speaker 1: wicked sense of humor, and he can be sarcastic and
Speaker 1: he can be like he can hang with the best
Speaker 1: of them, but inside his soul is just kindness and
Speaker 1: he loves to help people and he's just the best.
Speaker 1: Like I just love the guy. He changed my life
Speaker 1: Richard Marx is on with us, and I find it
Speaker 1: really interesting, Um, what you're doing inside of songwriter and
Speaker 1: so songwriter and the whole album comes out. What what's
Speaker 1: is nine September with Fingers, January Filbury, March April May
Speaker 1: yet because I know it's not out. Yeah, so September thirtieth,
Speaker 1: you're putting the full album out, but it's split into parts.
Speaker 1: There's pop, rock, country and ballads. And the country parts
Speaker 1: interesting because we're big budds with Keith Urban and you know,
Speaker 1: you guys have written together before. But there's a song
Speaker 1: one Day Longer that you and Keith Urban, so you're
Speaker 1: singing it, but he wrote it with you. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: here's my history with Keith. We've had three really big
Speaker 1: hits together that he had and Better Life Long Hot
Speaker 1: Summer and Everybody and Better Life. He almost didn't cut
Speaker 1: because he kind of got over it by the you know,
Speaker 1: from the time we started it to the time he
Speaker 1: finished it, he was kind of like off of it,
Speaker 1: not into it. But he kind of just went in
Speaker 1: the studio and cut it number one. For six weeks
Speaker 1: we wrote Everybody, and he was all in love with it.
Speaker 1: The day we wrote it. And then a few days
Speaker 1: later he was like, I don't like it anymore. So
Speaker 1: I went in the studio. I was due to record
Speaker 1: something with Dan Huff, his producer who's brilliant, and so
Speaker 1: Dan and I went in the studio to cut a
Speaker 1: song and he said, you know, with that time, we
Speaker 1: can cut another song. So I played him the work
Speaker 1: tape of my song with Keith Everybody, and he went,
Speaker 1: oh my god, man, this is great. We should cut this.
Speaker 1: We cut it, and right before we mixed it, he
Speaker 1: played it for Keith and Keith called and goes, okay,
Speaker 1: I blew it. Can I have that song back? So
Speaker 1: my history with Keith is we write something, he's in
Speaker 1: love with it did day we write it, and then
Speaker 1: a week later he it's the worst thing he's ever heard.
Speaker 1: And that's what happened with one day longer. But it's
Speaker 1: just been taking up space, you know, as an MP
Speaker 1: three in my computer. So I when I was making
Speaker 1: this album, I went back and listened to her. I
Speaker 1: was like, I love this song. So I cut it
Speaker 1: in the country section. Here Richards written songs by himself
Speaker 1: with Urban, with Darius, with Howser and I Think, and
Speaker 1: I mentioned it before we got on the phone with you.
Speaker 1: How just prominent and prolific of a songwriter you are
Speaker 1: and all the songs you've written for a whole lot
Speaker 1: of people. But is there a difference in writing with
Speaker 1: some of these country guys that we know are our
Speaker 1: friends with and some of the guys in la. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a good question. Um. I mean, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't really write with anyone who's not a real songwriter,
Speaker 1: and that I very rarely collaborate with someone who's just
Speaker 1: a track person or Um. You know, it's usually two
Speaker 1: guys sitting down and or three guys, and it's very
Speaker 1: rare there are three writers on my songs. But um,
Speaker 1: I kind of gravitate towards what I would call old
Speaker 1: school songwriters, where you just sort of hammer it out,
Speaker 1: you know, you get a concept, you get I usually
Speaker 1: come in with a bunch of melody ideas or a title,
Speaker 1: and we're just off to the races. Um, there's not
Speaker 1: that much difference, actually, you know, I mean, writing with
Speaker 1: Randy House or is not that different than writing with
Speaker 1: you know, my son Lucas who's a great pop songwriter,
Speaker 1: or any of these other guys. It's all it's all
Speaker 1: sort of like going after the song, you know, not
Speaker 1: trying to worry so much about what the record is
Speaker 1: going to be, but just making the song the best
Speaker 1: to convict. You say you're going with mel so well,
Speaker 1: you'll just walk in. And I was gonna ask if
Speaker 1: you're a melody or a lyric guy first, and probably
Speaker 1: you do it a little bit of both. But will
Speaker 1: you walk in with no concept at all? But you're like,
Speaker 1: at this melody goes boo doo doo doo doo doo
Speaker 1: doo doo, and you walk in with just that melody,
Speaker 1: and then you'd start trying to assign words and a
Speaker 1: concept to the sound. Yeah, that's how I've always written songs,
Speaker 1: even the songs I've written by myself, which which make
Speaker 1: up most of my catalog, or the songs I wrote alone.
Speaker 1: It starts with some gibberish line, you know, and like
Speaker 1: I had this big hit called Hazard, this the story song,
Speaker 1: and all I had was my mother came to down
Speaker 1: I wanna. I was just seven, and then I started
Speaker 1: to like, I wrote all the music, all the melody,
Speaker 1: and I started to put the story together, and I
Speaker 1: had everything except the name of the town that this
Speaker 1: thing was set in and I even knew it was
Speaker 1: in Nebraska because I referenced in Nebraska. So I just
Speaker 1: had to go through every name of every town in
Speaker 1: Nebraska until I found one that's the two syllable word
Speaker 1: that's fit, that sounded good. It's kind of how it
Speaker 1: all starts with me, is with a melody. The melodies
Speaker 1: and the music kind of tell me what the lyrics
Speaker 1: should be. Whenever you have songs that are so massive,
Speaker 1: for example right here waiting from like eighty nine, do
Speaker 1: you go through different cycles or seasons where you know
Speaker 1: it's a massive hit, you love to play it, then
Speaker 1: you play it so much you don't want to play it,
Speaker 1: but then you're kind of re energized to play it
Speaker 1: again because you've hated it for so long. Is that
Speaker 1: a seasonal thing with you in your life or do
Speaker 1: you just always love it? Or how does that work? No,
Speaker 1: I don't have that experience. I'm sure I think that
Speaker 1: probably happens more with people who record songs by other people.
Speaker 1: If you wrote a song that you love, If I
Speaker 1: write a song, if I record a song and release
Speaker 1: a song, it means that I love that song, and
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean there's some songs that I might
Speaker 1: get a little bit more psych to play sometimes, but
Speaker 1: there's never a song in my set where I look
Speaker 1: down at the set list and go, oh god, not
Speaker 1: that again. I've never had that hanging to the every
Speaker 1: day with certain segments in my radio show. Every day,
Speaker 1: I'm just like, oh my god, yeah, Richard, this has
Speaker 1: been awesome. I want to let everybody know. Songwriter comes
Speaker 1: out on September thirtieth. Again. There are all these sections,
Speaker 1: and I love how you did it. And ballads though,
Speaker 1: by the way, when I was looking at this ballads,
Speaker 1: it didn't you didn't format that. You just went, Okay,
Speaker 1: these are slow songs. Slow songs don't have a format
Speaker 1: or a genre, not to me. Not to me. Just
Speaker 1: those songs to me were just these five really beautiful
Speaker 1: songs that could have been any genre really, but they
Speaker 1: kind of made up their own genre to me. And
Speaker 1: the first track is by the way, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: doing this a lot of We're going to do a
Speaker 1: vinyl version of this, so it's literally going to be
Speaker 1: side A SID side C SidD you know. The lead
Speaker 1: track on the ballads section I wrote with Burt Backgrock.
Speaker 1: It's a song called Always. I mean getting to sit
Speaker 1: in a room and write a song with Burt background.
Speaker 1: And this is when he was ninety one. He's ninety
Speaker 1: four now. Um, I can't even believe it. You know again,
Speaker 1: we became pals and this guy wrote the soundtrack to
Speaker 1: all of our lives. You know. I'm just so humbled
Speaker 1: that I got to sit in a room with him
Speaker 1: and write such a beautiful I'm so proud of this song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool that Burt. Because Burt background for me,
Speaker 1: rain drops keep falling on that's that's not background. He's
Speaker 1: played it though. He's played it though, Eddie, I've heard
Speaker 1: Burt background play that song. That's what I think about.
Speaker 1: He wrote it, and he wrote it, Eddie. There you go.
Speaker 1: So so then I thought I was right. Then I
Speaker 1: thought I was wrong, and I was embarrassed. And then
Speaker 1: I had to come back to it and Richard Marks, sorry,
Speaker 1: Ricardo Marks told me I was right. Because now we're friends.
Speaker 1: There you have it, Okay. So here's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: If you ever come to Nashville, we'd love to have you,
Speaker 1: uh hop in the studio here. We'll do a whole deal.
Speaker 1: I'm just a big fan. That thing. And your album
Speaker 1: comes down to thirtieth We'll be sure to talk about
Speaker 1: it when it comes out, and you guys go to
Speaker 1: Richard Marks dot com. He's in Europe now, but he
Speaker 1: will come to the stage and he's doing a bunch
Speaker 1: of shows in the States starting in October, and he's
Speaker 1: in a lot of the cities that are shows in
Speaker 1: and just a very entertaining, very funny guy, but also
Speaker 1: super talented and super cool and says Abby has a
Speaker 1: longer in music and he will put her on tour
Speaker 1: with him. That's what I heard. Wow, wow, wow. That
Speaker 1: is by Bobby. You can officially call me Ricardo. Okay, okay, Ricardo.

Speaker 1: sing us out with a little Richard Marks. Oh you
Speaker 1: sing sing us out? Abby. Let's go whereever you are,
Speaker 1: whatever you do, I will be right here. It's the
Speaker 1: best Bits of the Week with Morgan number two and
Speaker 1: without further Ado Lunchbox, who hopefully is going to Vegas.
Speaker 1: He auditioned for Bad Out of Hell the Musical, and
Speaker 1: the director had come on. Lunchbox had to act out
Speaker 1: a scene, he had to sing a song, he had
Speaker 1: to do some improv and all around. Like, I give
Speaker 1: him some awesome a's because he really put an effort
Speaker 1: and he was trying. And I you know, I've said
Speaker 1: it before and I'll keep saying. I think Lunchbox is
Speaker 1: so good at improv and he is great at being
Speaker 1: fearless and not giving two craps about what anyone thinks
Speaker 1: about him, which is why he's so good at improv.
Speaker 1: And I think this could be really fun, cool role
Speaker 1: for him if he gets it. So I'm cheering him on.
Speaker 1: He may not cheer me on in all the ways,
Speaker 1: you know, with my outfits and artists, and he may
Speaker 1: not cheer Abby on in her singing career, but I'm
Speaker 1: cheering him on for this. I think it'd be really
Speaker 1: awesome to see him in a musical. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: just picturing Lunchbox and a musical. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think it'd either be pretty funny or pretty awesome, So
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for it. Here you go. This is Lunchbox
Speaker 1: auditioning for the gig number one, Right, Jay Schaiba is
Speaker 1: on with us, big fan, see director, It's all we
Speaker 1: love Jay. How are you great? Great? I'm great? How

Speaker 1: is about the audition for big role, big role. His
Speaker 1: dream as two is to get into the arts, and
Speaker 1: we told him about the opportunity and he's ready. He's nervous.
Speaker 1: So what are we gonna do here? To see if
Speaker 1: Lunchbox is the person that you need for your production. Well,
Speaker 1: I'd love it if we could, um, if we could
Speaker 1: do a scene, a song and then a short improvisation.
Speaker 1: I like that's probably director say, let's have seen a
Speaker 1: song in an improv I like how directors say that
Speaker 1: that's good. I don't even know if that's a thing,
Speaker 1: but I like it. All right, So Lunchbox he wants
Speaker 1: us to do a scene first. Oh I am, let's go.

Speaker 1: know and I'm impressed by that. Hey Jay, pick a fight. Okay, No,
Speaker 1: we're not doing Brave Heart. Hey Jay. So as far
Speaker 1: as your experience, because you've done a lot of you
Speaker 1: have so many awards, and you've done so many productions,
Speaker 1: I have to imagine you have just worked with some
Speaker 1: wonderfully skilled actors and singers over the years. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. When you look at this guy here, Lunchbox,
Speaker 1: just to fit looking at him, sometimes you get to
Speaker 1: see that thing about somebody. Do you see it here?
Speaker 1: I mean I'm getting like tons of like great street fashion,
Speaker 1: street vibes, natural, natural talent. Let's I'll talk about street
Speaker 1: fashion is a good word. I don't know what that means,
Speaker 1: but that means fashion. He said, fashion. Okay, I got
Speaker 1: my style. Jay. What is the scene we're reading from?
Speaker 1: You know what this is? So? This is? Um? This
Speaker 1: is this is the scene where Stratum meets Raven and
Speaker 1: it's their first like real conversation and he sort of
Speaker 1: reveals something important about himself. Um. And and actually there's
Speaker 1: you know, there's more than one character in the scene. Bobby,
Speaker 1: would you mind reading Raven just to help Lunchbox, you know,
Speaker 1: get into it. Okay, I will be reading Raven here lunchbox.
Speaker 1: You're going to be stratt. Yeah, oh man, this looks

Speaker 1: my bed, like we're gonna be in bed together. All right,
Speaker 1: all right, are you ready? Lunchbox? It says it Raven.
Speaker 1: I've not read over this, so let me mess it

Speaker 1: Raven said tenderly, Stratt you here, Okay, I can feel
Speaker 1: your blood in my veins. Raven, I believe it's you,
Speaker 1: and yes, and if I fall asleep here tonight, you
Speaker 1: better get me some satin sheets because I've been sweating gasoline.
Speaker 1: My dreams are highly flammable, and there are parts of
Speaker 1: my body that just won't stop giving off sparks. See okay,
Speaker 1: to say here, I got a lot of time to say,
Speaker 1: why did you change words in it? Because I don't
Speaker 1: know what that word is. You said satin Lunchbuck said
Speaker 1: satin sheets, and I was like, that's not in there.
Speaker 1: There was some big water I think, I don't nobody,
Speaker 1: nobody help him know what? Help him do it? And
Speaker 1: say the word go asbestos asbestos sheets. Huh A Spanish word. Yeah,
Speaker 1: go ahead, asbestos Spanish? What do you think? Go ahead?
Speaker 1: Say just do the line, do the first up until
Speaker 1: that part, but say it how you think it is said?
Speaker 1: Go ahead? And if I fall asleep here tonight, you
Speaker 1: better get me some asbesto sheets. Okay, that's not quite it.
Speaker 1: But you don't know what that is that word. No,
Speaker 1: it's a big word. I've never seen that one. He
Speaker 1: just do satin in there. I mean I admire it. Good.
Speaker 1: I mean I had to do something thinking that quick.
Speaker 1: Think if I get your point with the director, Eddie,
Speaker 1: do you want to help them with that? What were asbestos? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go asbestos? Asbestos? Asbestos? You ever heard aboutsbestos?

Speaker 1: now this is for another time, but we've been exposed
Speaker 1: to that in our parking grau. Yeah, we're all gonna die.
Speaker 1: But anyway, here lunch okay, the scene, lunchbox scene. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get relaxed. Jay I'm coming to you now.
Speaker 1: You heard lunchbox. What do you think you know? I
Speaker 1: think you're thinking on your feet, lunchbox, and I appreciate
Speaker 1: that a lot. I think that's really great. Asbestos because
Speaker 1: right because you're putting off sparks and you don't want
Speaker 1: to catch the bed on fire. Okay, as I fall
Speaker 1: out here tonight, you better give me some asbestos sheets
Speaker 1: because I've been sweating gasoline. Satin would probably catch on.
Speaker 1: Filling satin would be a problem. He did go straight satin.
