Speaker 1: to be hanging out with y'all. Maybe you have some
Speaker 1: really big Easter plans. Maybe you're hanging out with family
Speaker 1: or doing an Easter a hunt, or you're hanging out
Speaker 1: with friends, whatever it may be. I'm just glad that
Speaker 1: I'm with you all right now to catch up a
Speaker 1: little bit before the craziness of the holiday happens. I
Speaker 1: also want to mention make sure you guys check out
Speaker 1: Best Bits Part one. I know a lot of y'all
Speaker 1: come here to catch up on the show and make
Speaker 1: sure there's nothing that you missed. But I also encourage
Speaker 1: you guys to listen because it's my favorite part of
Speaker 1: getting to do this podcast. Every weekend is a different conversation.
Speaker 1: Different person from the show comes on this weekend. It's Amy,
Speaker 1: and she helped me with some advice of things that
Speaker 1: have kind of been happening in my life lately. We
Speaker 1: talked about some dating stories that I've had, also just
Speaker 1: a weird incidents that happened to me in a waiting room.
Speaker 1: She also shared a kind of Scammeler, and she also
Speaker 1: shared a conspiracy theory about one of a lot of
Speaker 1: our favorite grocery stores. Those are huge. Plus. We also
Speaker 1: talked about something we used for the very first time
Speaker 1: and it has changed our lives. So there's good stuff
Speaker 1: over there that I hope you all go check out
Speaker 1: and you will really enjoy, not just because it's bringing
Speaker 1: on show members, because they're fun conversations with a friend
Speaker 1: and I hope they add a little bit more to
Speaker 1: your Saturday. But we did have a lot happen on
Speaker 1: the show this week, so let's go ahead and dive
Speaker 1: right on in. We went around the room and ask
Speaker 1: some questions to each other so we can get to
Speaker 1: know one another. Some of those questions are like, what's
Speaker 1: the place you've been to and you'll never go again,
Speaker 1: Or what is something you tried for the very first time,
Speaker 1: or well, it's a smell that doesn't actually smell good,
Speaker 1: but you kind of like it. Maybe you can use
Speaker 1: these at your family gathering to get to know each
Speaker 1: other a little bit better, or maybe you don't want to,
Speaker 1: but I think they'd be pretty fun to ask. Number seven,
Speaker 1: let's do questions for the room. Everybody has one ask it,
Speaker 1: Eddie your first. Okay, So last week we had Landy
Speaker 1: Wilson on the show, and I kind of messed with
Speaker 1: her a little bit because we well, about a year ago,
Speaker 1: we did a truck shoot together. We were in it
Speaker 1: the video together, and then she went on to do
Speaker 1: a RAM truck commercial with her song, and there they
Speaker 1: gave her a new truck and gave me nothing. So
Speaker 1: we just messed with her. I just joked it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's famous. Yeah, I get it. But on the way out,
Speaker 1: she goes, Hey, Eddie, I'm gonna work on getting you
Speaker 1: that truck. Hey is she serious? Did you got? First off,
Speaker 1: did you guys hear that? In second? Was she serious?
Speaker 1: First off? Did they use her song and a real
Speaker 1: truck commercial though? Yeah, which I not the one you
Speaker 1: did with her, which wasn't a real TV commercial. No.
Speaker 1: I think they used I Got a Heart a truck
Speaker 1: and like a National truck. Yeah. Yeah. But my point
Speaker 1: was that they would have never even known Laney if
Speaker 1: it wasn't for our videos. Yes, they would have, because
Speaker 1: they asked Laney and I to do it, and I
Speaker 1: couldn't get there. You serious? Yes? And so I said,
Speaker 1: I said, use Eddie and then you went and they
Speaker 1: knew Laney already, So that's not accurate. Now I could
Speaker 1: have gone my whole life without knowing that. But you're
Speaker 1: asking a question too. No truth hurts. Do you want
Speaker 1: to know if she was being serious? Which as she
Speaker 1: walked out of the room, she said, Eddie, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: work on getting you that truck. So you want to
Speaker 1: know if you should hold her to it? I mean serious? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not gonna like it hit her up
Speaker 1: on DM and be like, hey, Landy, that truck, just
Speaker 1: reminding you. But do you think she was serious? No?
Speaker 1: I think she was absolutely kidding. Oh, And she was
Speaker 1: walking out, She's like, Naddy, I'm working on getting that truck.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought. No, I think she was just
Speaker 1: playing around, like she's really sweet like that. But I
Speaker 1: don't think she's gonna call Ram and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: can you kiss Laney kind of get Ram on the phone,
Speaker 1: get the president Ram, Yeah, my friend Eddie. Dang, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Lunchbox I took it as serious.
Speaker 1: I was a little bit jealous when she walked out
Speaker 1: and said it. I was like, Dang, Eddie's about to
Speaker 1: get him a new truck. So you heard it, So
Speaker 1: I heard it, and so I think you should send
Speaker 1: her a DM in like a couple of weeks to
Speaker 1: be like, hey, is there any update on the truck?
Speaker 1: Absolutely that is that makes me thinking about you doing
Speaker 1: that talking about it right now, mas n cringe. All right,
Speaker 1: Next up question for the room lunchbox. I just want
Speaker 1: to know if you guys have tried anything new lately,
Speaker 1: because this past weekend the women's college basketball for the
Speaker 1: first time ever, I watched women's college basketball and I
Speaker 1: was like, man, this is something new I have never done.
Speaker 1: And so I was like, man, anybody else do anything new?
Speaker 1: If you try anything new? I've started. No, I don't
Speaker 1: want to say y'all ring front of me. Yeah we will.
Speaker 1: That's why questions. Yeah, okay, I've I started a meditation challenge.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's weird. That's cool, cool, Okay, that's
Speaker 1: also I started challenge and I have a calendar and
Speaker 1: every time you complete one, you get to check a box, right,
Speaker 1: and what's the challenge? How many days you can do?
Speaker 1: Twenty one days long? Okay? But I think so your
Speaker 1: meditation is used in a lot of different ways. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it's just to calm your mind of all the outside influences.
Speaker 1: It's not always like you see on TV where people
Speaker 1: are wrapped up in a sheet like Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: I have friends that are high up in business who
Speaker 1: use meditation in order just to not have their brain
Speaker 1: going seventy two different ways for twenty four hours, and
Speaker 1: it's just a calming. It's not relaxing. I don't want
Speaker 1: to say relaxing, but to them, they're able to regather
Speaker 1: to be more focused. Yeah, reset, I think, which parson
Speaker 1: are you doing? Woor focused I'm doing? I wouldn't consider
Speaker 1: it wou. It's more some of them are relaxing to me,
Speaker 1: but some of them also reset me so I can
Speaker 1: show up as a better parent, show up and hear better.
Speaker 1: Why do you think we make fun of that? I mean,
Speaker 1: I kind of outfit you were for it. I'm kind
Speaker 1: of getting so into it that I listened to a
Speaker 1: meditation when I was driving into work today. Well, don't
Speaker 1: do why you need to focus on that? You can't
Speaker 1: drive that well. The ones I'm doing at home, my
Speaker 1: eyes are closed. But I decided why not listen to
Speaker 1: this while I'm driving in and set myself up for
Speaker 1: more a repositive day, Eddie, try anything new? Yeah, ginger ale,
Speaker 1: Like somebody came over and they were making a drink
Speaker 1: and I've never had ginger in my life, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: let me try that. It's not bad. It's like a
Speaker 1: sugar free ginger ale. That's really good. I don't drink
Speaker 1: a lot of it. But if you're gonna get into
Speaker 1: ginger elle, I I'm not getting into because I had.
Speaker 1: I had a whole ginger el time in my life.
Speaker 1: I was really into it. Yeah, it was really into it. Okay,
Speaker 1: we go. We got a new Morgan. You have anything? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do a new thing. I shaved my face. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I shaved my face. Oh you do look shaver a
Speaker 1: creamy using I give you some good like Barba Saul
Speaker 1: is good. You can just use. It does feel weird, really,
Speaker 1: it's just a tiny little razor, right. Yeah, it's really
Speaker 1: tiny and it feels like you just have this like
Speaker 1: blade on your face. Mine is ai chat bought. So
Speaker 1: watch this. You can ask it anything. I'm gonna you
Speaker 1: can ask it to do anything. I'm gonna say, Ride quickly,
Speaker 1: ride a song, Give me something right, song about about
Speaker 1: coffee Verse one in the morning, when I wake, I
Speaker 1: need a little something to keep me awake, something strong
Speaker 1: and something bold, something that will warm my soul. Chorus,
Speaker 1: Oh coffee, You're my morning delight. You keep me going
Speaker 1: when I need to fight. With your rich aroma and
Speaker 1: your bold chaised you help me conquer the day with grace.
Speaker 1: Verse two from a lunch to be a songwriter by
Speaker 1: just typing in that thing. Basically, you're gonna hear a
Speaker 1: lot of songs by saying like this, Hello, everybody, I
Speaker 1: just want you to say, all right. Next question, let's
Speaker 1: go over to Morgan. Number two. Morgan, go, what is
Speaker 1: something that you keep wanting to smell despite the fact
Speaker 1: it doesn't smell particularly good. Oh, Gasoline's easy for me.
Speaker 1: I would answer that I love huffing some gas. That's
Speaker 1: a pretty good one. You my dog, she doesn't always
Speaker 1: smell the best, but I just sometimes I sniffer. Paul's yeah,
Speaker 1: Paul's a free day. But my dogs and I just
Speaker 1: smelt like a butt, like having out running and sweating
Speaker 1: all day. Lunchbox. Oh my socks. Whenever I take off
Speaker 1: my socks every night I take I'd give them a
Speaker 1: big whiff, no matter why, even in my shin guards
Speaker 1: before a soccer game, might smell them. They sting just
Speaker 1: the same sharpies having them. I'll live with them all
Speaker 1: the times I count. But then I give you like
Speaker 1: a little buzz I think all three? Do you actually another?
Speaker 1: Think about it? Morgan? What yours? Mine's like yours. It's
Speaker 1: nail polish. I like this strong smell of it, glue.
Speaker 1: I like glue. Dang dude. All right, yeah, Okay, who
Speaker 1: hasn't done this? I haven't known mine, I haven't done Okay,
Speaker 1: So is there anybody in this room that will admit
Speaker 1: to even one percent believing that the Earth could maybe
Speaker 1: be flat? No? And I have a friend that will
Speaker 1: stop talking about it. And every time I've talked about it,
Speaker 1: I've said, well what about this, she's like, oh, I
Speaker 1: didn't really know that, Like I've She's like, what about
Speaker 1: flight path emercy flight paths? And I'm like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: glad you asked this, suf research this. The Earth is
Speaker 1: not flat. I'm not a flat earth. Flat earthers need
Speaker 1: to have their head checked. I've seen really famous flat
Speaker 1: earthers get disproven recorded live and it's hilarious. That's cool. Yes,
Speaker 1: So No, I'm very anti you're not, but anybody else, No,
Speaker 1: the world around round. I mean I see a globe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the globe doesn't actually mean that though, but when you
Speaker 1: look at the horizon, it's round. No. But if you
Speaker 1: could go all the way around the country with sometimes boats,
Speaker 1: you could leave out to the right and enter back
Speaker 1: on the left, that to me kind of lets you
Speaker 1: know it's round. Well it ain't flat, right, Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: never really even thought about it that much. I've just
Speaker 1: been told it's rounds, so it's round theory theories. I
Speaker 1: maybe believe in the hollow earth theory that's where aliens
Speaker 1: come from up the water. Yes, I went as you know,
Speaker 1: Bobby's pretty he has a good thought, rational, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: hollow earth though, that okay. And then finally I'll ask
Speaker 1: my worst somewhere that you've been that you actually like
Speaker 1: a place you've been that you never want to go back. Oh,
Speaker 1: where's a place that you've been? And you're like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm good, I never have to go back there.
Speaker 1: I can lead to give you guys a little time.
Speaker 1: I would say Starkville, Mississippi football Stadium. They ring the
Speaker 1: cowbells all game long, Arkansas, Misssippi State. They ring the
Speaker 1: cowboy that you leave, and you're just like, I can
Speaker 1: hear nothing but cowbells. And I don't mind the people there.
Speaker 1: I don't even mind the talent. I like starkbell. I
Speaker 1: hate that football stadium because they ring the cowbells the
Speaker 1: whole time. I never want to go back there if
Speaker 1: I don't have to Mississsissippi Stad. Yes, where somewhere you've been,
Speaker 1: you never want to go back, Eddie, Yeah, this is tough.
Speaker 1: It's Las Vegas, but it's just the paradise and like
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like where all the casinos are.
Speaker 1: I like the city Vegas, but where all the strip
Speaker 1: I can never go back, and I'm happy us easy.
Speaker 1: The Diamond Mine in Arkansas. And that hotel that Scuba
Speaker 1: Stee booked me in, that's a good one. I mean goodness.
Speaker 1: It was the nastiest place I've ever been in my life.
Speaker 1: And I stayed at nasty hotels as a kid. This
Speaker 1: was by far the grossest place I've ever walked into. Morgan,
Speaker 1: Mine would be Philadelphia. I went there and I liked it.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you why I went. And I spent
Speaker 1: a day there and I was like, Okay, I've seen
Speaker 1: everything I need to see. I don't need to come back.
Speaker 1: I love Philadelphia. I've only been a few times. I
Speaker 1: liked it. I've never been. I've never been. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of history. You'll see a seven eleven and like
Speaker 1: three more steps you like, this would have been your
Speaker 1: Frankolt right beside it crazy. I mean, I like a
Speaker 1: lot of places I've been, but I guess I probably
Speaker 1: won't go back to Mexico and seriously about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's another addition of questions for the room. Who
Speaker 1: I feel like we've known each other, We've got to
Speaker 1: know each a little better generally. Yeah, Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 1: Conspiracy theories are a big thing, and pretty much everybody
Speaker 1: at least believes in one out there about something because
Speaker 1: we like to question things. We talked about conspiracy theories
Speaker 1: on the show and some that we believe in. But
Speaker 1: not only that. Bobby shared some conspiracy theories about the
Speaker 1: Bobby Bone Show and things that people have come up with,
Speaker 1: and they were pretty ridiculous. I'm just gonna let y'all
Speaker 1: hear them. Number six, I do have some conspiracy theories
Speaker 1: about the show that I found online about us, but
Speaker 1: I want to go through just as a group here.
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite conspiracy theory, either one that
Speaker 1: you do believe or one that has turned out to
Speaker 1: be true. Convince us maybe, So we're gonna do here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I got a few of them that
Speaker 1: I listed. This one I don't think is true because
Speaker 1: I tested it myself. But they say Avril Levine died
Speaker 1: and was replaced by it like a look alike named
Speaker 1: Melissa Vandela. And I when I was on Dancing with
Speaker 1: the Stars, Avlab was performing and I walked by and
Speaker 1: went Melissa. She didn't look amy, not even if you know,
Speaker 1: if she really wasn't Melissa, maybe she still had that
Speaker 1: inside her, like what yeah, you don't think about it?
Speaker 1: Turned around, she did not look when I said Melissa. Okay,
Speaker 1: now when I said Avril did, she like everybody looked
Speaker 1: scampered off. Security got closed it. So I do not
Speaker 1: think that the real Avril died and that there's been
Speaker 1: a replacement named Melissa Vandela. Secondly, sometimes I feel like
Speaker 1: we're living in a simulation and I have like bought
Speaker 1: the package and I'm living it and you guys aren't
Speaker 1: even real now. This morning I had an incident, so
Speaker 1: I bring it up. I looked over as I was
Speaker 1: getting onto the interstate. There were six white cars altogether,
Speaker 1: and I went glitch. Yeah, that shouldn't happen exactly what say? Yeah, glitch?
Speaker 1: Okay there were six white, all white cars, like four
Speaker 1: white two trucks, all cars, all right together. They weren't
Speaker 1: supposed to be together, they were all together. I went glitch.
Speaker 1: So I'm not convinced. So the simulation hypothesis is that
Speaker 1: all of our existence is a simulator reality. Just like
Speaker 1: computer simulation. It bears a close resemblance to other scenarios
Speaker 1: throughout the history of philosophy. So this has happened in
Speaker 1: many different versions and layers from all of religious leaders.
Speaker 1: And just because that's a simulation doesn't mean it's computer
Speaker 1: and nerdy. But that's that's one another one that I'm then.
Speaker 1: My problem with that, though, is this, if it were
Speaker 1: a simulation, Let's say I have some sort of headset
Speaker 1: on and I paid for this, or I took some
Speaker 1: sort of injection and I'm paying for this. I don't
Speaker 1: think in my simulation. People will be trying to convince
Speaker 1: me it was a simulation, Like, why would there be
Speaker 1: people in my simulation going glitch? No, there's too many.
Speaker 1: That's not a glitch. The cars were a glitch. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you glitch out when you're like let's go. Yeah. The
Speaker 1: other one that I really like is this one, Steven
Speaker 1: Spielberg's UFO theory of human time travelers. You know, it's
Speaker 1: a pretty wild imagination obviously, or you can't make all
Speaker 1: the movies that he makes, but he has a theory
Speaker 1: and he told this to Stephen Colbert on whether or
Speaker 1: not we're alone in the universe. What if they're not
Speaker 1: from an advanced civilization three million light years from here,
Speaker 1: but what if it's US five hundred thousand years into
Speaker 1: the future that is coming back to document the second
Speaker 1: half of the twentieth century and into the first twentieth century.
Speaker 1: Because they're anthropologists so for science, and secondly, we don't
Speaker 1: know how to manipulate time in any way. At some
Speaker 1: point they'll figure out something we don't know how yet.
Speaker 1: They're only we only can get so deep into an
Speaker 1: atom until recently, you know, now they're finding ways to
Speaker 1: get into it smaller and smaller, so they're still think
Speaker 1: crazy things. We're discovering, but we have no idea to
Speaker 1: mess with time. But when we do, maybe we need
Speaker 1: to learn about how to make sure we don't, you know,
Speaker 1: poison ourselves to death. In the future, we come back
Speaker 1: and check us out. That's all I'm saying. I think
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good one. Is that going to be
Speaker 1: a new Steven Spieler movie? Because that sounds awesome? It
Speaker 1: does doesn't Yeah, So that's mine. Amy. What is your
Speaker 1: favor What is this one the favorite one one you
Speaker 1: believe or what? Well? I mean this one I believe.
Speaker 1: We need to look out for in the future, for
Speaker 1: other things that pop up. But it's that. The ten
Speaker 1: year Challenge, which comes about every once in a while,
Speaker 1: is facial recognition recognition stuff. What's the ten year Oh
Speaker 1: it's the one they put the two pictures. I think
Speaker 1: that was proven, wasn't it. Oh it is? I think so.
Speaker 1: Oh it was Russia. Yeah, they for sure when they
Speaker 1: were they started the ten year challenge so people would
Speaker 1: put up the two pictures so they could save all
Speaker 1: the faces into a database. Well, I've never I never
Speaker 1: done it. I'm not going to do it. You're on
Speaker 1: social media anyway, all that stuff. I know it says
Speaker 1: to you because social media has been around for ten
Speaker 1: years that they could easily just gather you ten years
Speaker 1: ago and you now. But when everybody collectively joins a challenge,
Speaker 1: it's just like all this information super quick and they
Speaker 1: don't have to go through and gather it. And it's
Speaker 1: a yeah, I think that's not a conspiracy. I think
Speaker 1: now it's real. They're still okay, don't even just them.
Speaker 1: Everybody's steal stuff up. So you know TikTok that you're on,
Speaker 1: they're stealing your stuff. That's a different country. Yeah, yeah, lunchbox,
Speaker 1: Moody Gap. It's direct deposits a scam, okay, but you
Speaker 1: made this one happen. No, No, this has been proven
Speaker 1: by listen by who me okay, and I think other
Speaker 1: people are jumping on board now. It's gaining traction. If
Speaker 1: you look on blogs, is that the companies want you
Speaker 1: to do direct deposits so they can skim fifty cents
Speaker 1: a dollar two dollars ever everybody's paycheck, so every two
Speaker 1: weeks they're saving thousands of dollars. I guess what I
Speaker 1: would say to that is if you say all these
Speaker 1: companies are doing it, it's not a group, like a
Speaker 1: specific collective group doing it. One of those people, and
Speaker 1: all these groups would have said something by now to
Speaker 1: out it because they're not working together. They're just too
Speaker 1: many to keep it secrets, that's what you think. But
Speaker 1: all the higher ups are like, man, if we keep
Speaker 1: this a secret, we get all this extra money in
Speaker 1: our pockets. CEO, hey, we get a bonus at the
Speaker 1: the year if we keep the secret. Boom, there you go.
Speaker 1: You know it is called the d D Bonus. Direct
Speaker 1: upon was like, excuse me, Eddie, go ahead, what do
Speaker 1: you have. Yeah. Paul McCartney from the Beatles, he's dead.
Speaker 1: He's not really alive, and it's it's crazy. I think
Speaker 1: in the sixties he died in a car accident, but
Speaker 1: they wanted the band to keep on going, so they
Speaker 1: just kind of lied about it. And they've tried to
Speaker 1: tell us multiple times. Like in Strawberry Fields Forever, the
Speaker 1: song at the end, John says this one nibma, this
Speaker 1: Paul the dead man. I believe Paul disarming here because
Speaker 1: the first part I just like zi zi ziz. But
Speaker 1: if you listen after a few zib zip zibs. He says,
Speaker 1: Paul is I just watched a whole TikTok on this,
Speaker 1: so I'm talking about it. No, I don't, but what
Speaker 1: are you talking about here? It is again turn it
Speaker 1: up right, but he's saying, I miss him, miss him,
Speaker 1: miss him, miss him. I'm called backward masking right back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And then on another song he says, I buried Paul.
Speaker 1: It backward go ahead. That was so guys. They tried
Speaker 1: to tell us multiple times, but we kept falling for it.
Speaker 1: We're like, no, no no, no, he's a Sergeant Pepper's album.
Speaker 1: They're all looking like a funeral. There are parts of
Speaker 1: the Sergeant Pepper's pictures were the only one their face
Speaker 1: not is Paul. Right on the walk across the street
Speaker 1: Abbey Road, the car license plate has the month and
Speaker 1: day that Paul supposedly die. Come on, keep feeding me.
Speaker 1: What's a ton? There's a ton? So why are we
Speaker 1: acting like this is not true? This is exact, This
Speaker 1: is one. This is what a band would do to
Speaker 1: be hilarious. And there was forward thinking to keep a
Speaker 1: rumor going, oh there you go. Yeah. Have you ever
Speaker 1: met Paul McCartney. I haven't, But first I haven't either. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we haven't a wincidence. I think not, No, not
Speaker 1: a questence because people like us don't get to me. Paul, No, No,
Speaker 1: I think not. He might be dead too, then I
Speaker 1: don't think Paul McCartney is you know, died. And I
Speaker 1: like that one. Yeah, the Titanic hitting a iceberg. Come on,
Speaker 1: I'm from the North. Boats actually drive through icebergs. And
Speaker 1: it really was just to cover up. That's when scapegoating started.
Speaker 1: You could just make something up. The engineers, somebody a
Speaker 1: huge company failed, just say it's an iceberg. There's something
Speaker 1: to that. But also because they could hide that easily
Speaker 1: back in that day, somebody could have messed up. The
Speaker 1: boat sank and they just blamed on an iceberg. How
Speaker 1: do we know? No, No, Race said that he's from
Speaker 1: the North and he drives through icebergs all the time.
Speaker 1: That I don't. I can't listen to him say stuff.
Speaker 1: But I do think that there's something too. We don't
Speaker 1: really know what happened. There's not computers on board, there
Speaker 1: aren't dad, and there's not film. You're right, but don't
Speaker 1: they go down to the bottom and look at the Titanic.
Speaker 1: But it could have sank for any reason. It could
Speaker 1: have been used rarer. Yeah, it could have been never
Speaker 1: a big hole in it fold The hole just opened
Speaker 1: up by error. I mean it had to hit something.
Speaker 1: The hold I just get there, could have hit another boat,
Speaker 1: could have had an explosion on board. They could have
Speaker 1: went down after it sank and pop. I've never heard
Speaker 1: any of these theories. I'm just doing in this. But
Speaker 1: my point is anything from back in the Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: getting on board the sixties or fifties, and we don't
Speaker 1: have the data. They could have been lying to us
Speaker 1: like crazy, like like John F. Kennedy who shot him, right,
Speaker 1: They still don't know. They still don't know. So my
Speaker 1: point is, if we don't have evidence, we just believe
Speaker 1: what we're told, sort of like direct deposit that you're
Speaker 1: getting all your money. Okay, So I just looked for
Speaker 1: these blogs he's talking about, and I don't look for
Speaker 1: a blog. Well he said, I know he doesn't need blog, right,
Speaker 1: but there's no I don't see any blogs. No, it's
Speaker 1: not he just made that up. Okay, Okay, do you
Speaker 1: want to hear a couple of the ones about the show?
Speaker 1: Come on? Some of them are dumb. Some of them
Speaker 1: might be true. Well, they're kind of like Titanic. I
Speaker 1: can't prove it. Is there some dumb conspiracies about our show.
Speaker 1: The Bobby Bone Show was created in twenty thirteen as
Speaker 1: a diversion to the country music community. There was a
Speaker 1: large scandal on the brink of breaking that would have
Speaker 1: run the careers of several superstars and their record labels.
Speaker 1: So The Bobby Bone Show was launched on country radio
Speaker 1: to take the focus off of it. It was controversial
Speaker 1: to launch, and the show became very successful. So with
Speaker 1: the controversy and the success, whatever that was was always
Speaker 1: pushed down, never became a headline, So people got off
Speaker 1: scott free because of our existence. What's the scan though,
Speaker 1: I want to know? Well, I don't know. It could
Speaker 1: have been a couple wow. But when we came on
Speaker 1: it was pretty controversial. So you're saying we saved country
Speaker 1: music as a diversion to some saving It could have
Speaker 1: been something really bad that happened that we didn't know
Speaker 1: that we were actually covering for. We were pawns. Maybe
Speaker 1: if you believe that. Next up, I don't. Bobby became
Speaker 1: a member of the Luminati in twenty seventeen, not saying
Speaker 1: anything about that. Uh, that's how he went dancing with
Speaker 1: the stars, and the reason he worked so much is
Speaker 1: to repay his debts to the luminati. What debt? I
Speaker 1: have no idea. I don't really talk about this one
Speaker 1: as much, but I will read it. Bobby has actually
Speaker 1: tried beer in college, has been lying about never having
Speaker 1: a drink. Hold on, Bobby actually tried beer in college
Speaker 1: and has been lying about never having a k of
Speaker 1: alcohol just to keep a streak alive. That's funny, that's funny.
Speaker 1: That one's not true. But do you believe there's any
Speaker 1: truth to that one? No? No, no, would you say
Speaker 1: yes if you're part of the conspiracy? No? Exactly. Eddie
Speaker 1: is actually single and doesn't have a family. That's why
Speaker 1: he never posts his family on social media. Has anyone
Speaker 1: ever seen Eddie out with his family? Now, you don't
Speaker 1: ask around. He created a fake family so that he
Speaker 1: could play the relatable dad role on the air, and
Speaker 1: he makes a killing on a speaking circuit. Have you
Speaker 1: all seen my family? You have not? Well, I mean
Speaker 1: you guys, but I'm part of the I created this
Speaker 1: role for you, So of course I'm gonna say that
Speaker 1: Raymond is secretly wealthy. That's all funny. He lives a
Speaker 1: wealthy lifestyle and he doesn't want to draw attention to
Speaker 1: how wealthy he actually is. I rent an apartment, you
Speaker 1: drive a blazer, Yeah, to cover it all up every day.
Speaker 1: I'll give you one more conspiracy theory about this show.
Speaker 1: Scuba Steve has been lying about his age for years.
Speaker 1: That's why he gets so weird about it when I
Speaker 1: bring it up. He's actually in his fifties. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: can see that one. He's not looking up. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: which one of those do you think would be most
Speaker 1: likely to be real? Oh, Illuminati? Why would you pick
Speaker 1: that one? Scuba Steve lying about his age? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: believe that one. Yeah, for sure. He does look older
Speaker 1: and act older. I don't talk about the Illuminati ones.
Speaker 1: So that's all. And Scuba, are you in your fifties? No,
Speaker 1: I'm definitely in my thirties. Okay, thirty? What late thirties exactly?
Speaker 1: If Scooba's in his fifties, we need anti aging secrets now.
Speaker 1: But he does ever say why is he so weird
Speaker 1: about his age? Because it doesn't matter. I am who
Speaker 1: I am. I exist the way I am. Age means nothing.
Speaker 1: What if someone said that as a high school basketball player,
Speaker 1: like you look at your twenty four sir, Nope, I
Speaker 1: am who I am. I choose to be a senior
Speaker 1: in high school means nothing. I mean, that's how Prince
Speaker 1: responded to age later in life because he didn't want
Speaker 1: to be defined by age and he wanted to stay
Speaker 1: young in his mind and body. So I feel like
Speaker 1: that's is that what Scuba's doing. Maybe you don't one
Speaker 1: about you doing I know. I mean, this one's a
Speaker 1: little sensitive, So I won't do the one about if
Speaker 1: you don't always do well whatever. Amy and her husband
Speaker 1: aren't actually getting a divorce is part of a rebranding
Speaker 1: her image. She signed with the talent agency that and
Speaker 1: it would sell more tickets or a podcast events if
Speaker 1: she could speak from a divorce perspective. No plan to
Speaker 1: rebuild a new Edgy or Amy. I don't know that
Speaker 1: anybody that would make this part of their rebrand And
Speaker 1: I barely touch on it at my lives. So you
Speaker 1: say I can't prove it Edgy Edge, Amy, I can
Speaker 1: prove it. I'll show your book, good, listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm good. All right, there you go. Those are some
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories. I think I like raised though that not
Speaker 1: about him. The one he brought in about the Titanic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it happened so long ago. No evidence, A dang thing
Speaker 1: probably get hit by alien. Oh future us. It's the
Speaker 1: best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two, we
Speaker 1: finally got a big check presentation. Lunchbox presented Bobby with
Speaker 1: his big check from their storage unit business. But let
Speaker 1: me tell y'all, this may have happened, the presentation and
Speaker 1: the big check may have happened, and we may have
Speaker 1: found out the amount that Bobby is supposed to get
Speaker 1: from Lunchbox, but there's still more complications per usual. And
Speaker 1: let's just say, as Lunchbox would say, Bobby is not
Speaker 1: making money from their business yet. Number five, A long
Speaker 1: time ago, Lunchbox and I got into business together. We
Speaker 1: found the storage unit and you could see a picture,
Speaker 1: you could kind of tell what was in there. But
Speaker 1: if you had the highest bid, you get to owned
Speaker 1: everything in there, almost like that storage warship. So we
Speaker 1: got online and we'd bid. Do you remember what we
Speaker 1: bid total? I think we bid like two hundred and
Speaker 1: ten dollars in the deal that I made with Lunchbox
Speaker 1: was I'll pay for seventy five percent of it, but
Speaker 1: you got to do the work as far as mailing
Speaker 1: the stuff. And he's like, no problem, but we'll split
Speaker 1: it right down in the middle. So we spent two
Speaker 1: hundred bucks two hundred and ten dollars. We brought all
Speaker 1: the stuff in here, and there was a bunch of shoes.
Speaker 1: There was also some illegal stuff. Yeah, I'll sell that prize. No,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea. I don't even
Speaker 1: know where it went. I have no idea. I don't
Speaker 1: want to know what happened to it. So we were like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna make so much money. We had Yeasi's two
Speaker 1: pairs are easy. Jordan's didn't We We have some Jordan's
Speaker 1: and we were in the pictures. We were like, are
Speaker 1: they real? Are they fake? We don't know when we
Speaker 1: got them there, they were real and they were a
Speaker 1: good size ten and a half eleven, eleven and a
Speaker 1: half like common shoe sizes. So lunchbox has a big
Speaker 1: check out there. Do you want to bring it in? Oh?
Speaker 1: You want me to get it? Yeah, I get it,
Speaker 1: but don't let me see what's on it quite yet.
Speaker 1: All right, Now, the problem is is it over the
Speaker 1: last week's and things would go wrong. People were wanting
Speaker 1: to rEFInd people said that they didn't get the shoes,
Speaker 1: but they did, and then we were just out shoes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one time after it was just one after another. I
Speaker 1: was hearing about how Lunchbox kept screwing up our business.
Speaker 1: I mean, one person wanted us to sign the shoes,
Speaker 1: so we signed them, and then eBay flagged them. And
Speaker 1: then I hit that person up and they're like, ah,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if I want to buy
Speaker 1: him anymore. But it's like the shoes back. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: got the shoes back. So I mean I want you
Speaker 1: to know I've been negotiating down to the last minute.
Speaker 1: Like I just made a sale on Instagram maybe twenty
Speaker 1: minutes ago, but we don't have the money. They've been mowed. Oh.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm telling you like I was trying to
Speaker 1: get rid of these shoes because I was like, these
Speaker 1: are a high price item, autograph shoes. Like someone's got
Speaker 1: to want him so he has a big check. Do
Speaker 1: you want to walk up on the stage. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no mic butybe Okay, we can hear you. I'll
Speaker 1: go up there. Ye you're really loud. I just want
Speaker 1: to see the reveal. All So, Lunchbox has one of
Speaker 1: those massive checks that they give away on like the telethons. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I basically put one hundred and fifty bucks into this
Speaker 1: and the number written on it. Yeah, but that's what
Speaker 1: I put in. Hold on, let me figure out how
Speaker 1: much I actually paid here if I get on the
Speaker 1: old calculator. Yeah, figure that out, and then what you
Speaker 1: would have made if you would have invested it somewhere
Speaker 1: or even with a small interest. I gave one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty dollars. Oh who But the problem is he
Speaker 1: did bad work and he's gonna make more money than me. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. You did. You screwed up. You
Speaker 1: screwed up every part of this. Okay, I'm gonna close
Speaker 1: my eyes and you get showed them the check first.
Speaker 1: I want to show everybody but me. Okay, I'm closing
Speaker 1: my eyes. I put in one hundred and sixty. Go ahead,
Speaker 1: show the root react. Yeah you can react. Oh okay,

Speaker 1: you like not bad? All right? I put in one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty dollars and wow, dang bones in the
Speaker 1: box business, I put in one sixty, flipped around lunchbox.
Speaker 1: How much am I getting back? Okay, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. That's that high. That's really high. So we

Speaker 1: and oh what's he doing? Oh it's on his paper?
Speaker 1: How much? Go ahead, you can walk back to your microphone.
Speaker 1: Now we change to check those more notes. You don't
Speaker 1: know the math? You go back to your microphone. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you. Why can't I cash this? Here's the check? Everybody?
Speaker 1: Three eighty nine? See your name, Bobby business partner? Bones?
Speaker 1: Is that legal? Do you have the amount total we

Speaker 1: We have one pair of shoes that have not sold
Speaker 1: that keep. I put them up and they don't sell,
Speaker 1: and someone hit me on Instagram was like, oh, I'd
Speaker 1: really like to buy those shoes, and I hit them
Speaker 1: back and then they haven't responded. What kind of shoes

Speaker 1: I know that you signed Blessing to your label. What
Speaker 1: about Blessing is so special? My goodness, how long do
Speaker 1: we have here this morning? Blessing is one of the
Speaker 1: most special people I've ever got to encounter with music.
Speaker 1: And a friend of mine, the guy produced my records, UM,
Speaker 1: several years ago, played me a song. He said, Man,
Speaker 1: you gotta hear this song. He played this song called
Speaker 1: Tin Roof and I was so floored by it. I
Speaker 1: was like wow, I and I said, who is this guy?
Speaker 1: He says his name is Blessing, and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: you don't forget a name like that. And he gave
Speaker 1: me a bit of his story and shared shared me
Speaker 1: his story, which I'm sure you guys will get into.
Speaker 1: But I was really moved by that, and UM and
Speaker 1: I just kind of stalked that away. I was like,
Speaker 1: I just still remember that song. And when I was
Speaker 1: making UM this, uh, I'm sorry. I was making this
Speaker 1: record Chris Tomlin and friends right with with all the
Speaker 1: country guys and he uh, and I was thinking what.
Speaker 1: It just hit me one day. I was like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I've got all of these UM artists on
Speaker 1: this record that everybody knows I would love and I
Speaker 1: was thinking about and I kept coming back this song
Speaker 1: ten Roof, and I thought it was one of the
Speaker 1: very best songs UM I'd ever heard written. In fact,
Speaker 1: I played it for uh Shane mcinally and I played
Speaker 1: it for Shane and Shane said, if that does not
Speaker 1: song of the Year, I don't know what is. And
Speaker 1: he said, just that kind of song, he kept me.
Speaker 1: And so I'm just and I remember that. I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I would love the in this record
Speaker 1: with that song and find a way for people to
Speaker 1: hear it, because I don't know one's heard this song.
Speaker 1: And I was like, maybe people will pay attention to
Speaker 1: this record and then they will hear this guy named Blessing,
Speaker 1: and so I said, so I called up Blessing and
Speaker 1: figured out how to get ahold of Blessing, and I said,
Speaker 1: can I want to come meet you? And I went
Speaker 1: to his apartment. And when I went to his apartment,
Speaker 1: I'm going there and m and I walking in and
Speaker 1: I can just hear the piano plan and I knock
Speaker 1: and he's like, come on in, and I walk in
Speaker 1: and Um, and I'm just I just sitting there going
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, how I don't know who this person is.
Speaker 1: How to interact this person? I get to know him
Speaker 1: and he's sitting at the piano. We'll start playing and
Speaker 1: he starts playing some songs and we'll start talking about
Speaker 1: music and start gathering around, and and and then he
Speaker 1: started to tell me and I asked him. I just
Speaker 1: asked him and said, man, I hear you do concert
Speaker 1: You could go out and do gigs and concerts. How
Speaker 1: you do that? For those who don't know, Blessing Um
Speaker 1: lost his sight years and years ago, and so I
Speaker 1: was like, how do you do that? I so hear
Speaker 1: you you do that by yourself. And he starts telling me.
Speaker 1: He said, well, you know, I get an uber and
Speaker 1: they drop me off. He goes, they tropped me off
Speaker 1: at the airport and a sky cap comes and picks
Speaker 1: me up at the Uber and takes me to the
Speaker 1: plane and then puts me on the plane. And then
Speaker 1: when I get off the plane, a sky cap comes
Speaker 1: and takes me off, and then I get into Uber
Speaker 1: and I go to the venue. I'm gonna go to
Speaker 1: the hotel, and then the guy comes and picks me
Speaker 1: up and I go to the venue and I play
Speaker 1: the concert. I do that all the way back home,
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking the grit you have to have to
Speaker 1: do that. I'm like this guy, and I was like,
Speaker 1: you do that and for I don't think how much
Speaker 1: I don't like it and all the ease I have
Speaker 1: and just how much more struggle and how much more
Speaker 1: things to overcome, and thinking about playing the concerts and
Speaker 1: all the things, and and I was just like, okay,
Speaker 1: I just and there's he's an absolute joy. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've never met somebody who's feel with more joy in
Speaker 1: their life. And I thought, people need to get people
Speaker 1: need to know this guy's music because he's got a
Speaker 1: lot to bring to people, and people can relate if
Speaker 1: anybody's ever gone through struggle or maybe they're gone through things,
Speaker 1: they could relate to blessing story. And he has this
Speaker 1: incredible incredible gift. And not only that, but he's as
Speaker 1: you will hear one of the best singers and players
Speaker 1: I've ever heard play music and so and just a
Speaker 1: songwriting He just when can I say one other things?
Speaker 1: Somebody somebody sent me a dropbox keeping somebody sent me
Speaker 1: a dropbox of blessing, and they said, here's some here's
Speaker 1: some songs. You should hear more of his songs. If
Speaker 1: you liked ten, here's so they sent me a dropbox
Speaker 1: Bobby and I hit the dropbox open and it was I,
Speaker 1: if I show it to you, I can. You can
Speaker 1: just scroll hundreds of songs, And I was like, who
Speaker 1: is this guy? And I would just randomly pick songs.
Speaker 1: Everything I would listen to is it's just him. And
Speaker 1: the piano was like, oh my goodness, what is what
Speaker 1: kind of treasure's in here? All these songs? And so
Speaker 1: just incredible songwriter and writes with so many different people.
Speaker 1: But I just thought, there's any way I could help
Speaker 1: this guy. People hear his music. And now, man, the
Speaker 1: floodgates open, from Coca Cola to the Kardashians, to the
Speaker 1: Gray's Anatomy to wherever he finds himself. He found his
Speaker 1: music is pretty pretty cool. That's the greatest intro I've
Speaker 1: ever heard for us person ever. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: don't even want to play anymore. I see some really
Speaker 1: cool like wrestling intros, and that one still is better.
Speaker 1: But I say that's the greatest of all time. So okay, Well,
Speaker 1: I know this wasn't this part wasn't planned here, but
Speaker 1: he built up tin roofs so much. Can you give
Speaker 1: us a little bit of that blessing? Is that possible?
Speaker 1: Because I didn't imagine it? Oh man, listen. And then
Speaker 1: the other thing is a friend to the room. Her
Speaker 1: name is a She's an up and upstart songwriter, Natalie Hemby.
Speaker 1: I wrote this with her. You know, I think she's
Speaker 1: got a career somewhere. I believe in her, guys, and
Speaker 1: we wrote this song in about forty five minutes. She
Speaker 1: said to me, what do you want to write about?
Speaker 1: And I said, I want to you know, I want
Speaker 1: to write about the sound of rain on a tin roof.
Speaker 1: I'm from Nigeria and I haven't been home in forever. Actually,
Speaker 1: I came to the States when I was six and
Speaker 1: I haven't been home ever since. And so she's I said,
Speaker 1: I missed the sound of rain on a tin roof,
Speaker 1: and so she says, that's what we're gonna write about.
Speaker 1: So the song kind of starts like this, I'll give
Speaker 1: you a couple. He sounds just pure. I mean that's
Speaker 1: the word, right, It's just not pure. So you said
Speaker 1: you came to America at six? Why did you come
Speaker 1: to the States? So initially? So my uncle played professional
Speaker 1: soccer immigrant nonsense, came here, got a bunch of degrees,
Speaker 1: is a lawyer now. And when I was born, I
Speaker 1: was born with glaucoma. So I was born blind in
Speaker 1: my left eye. I could see my right eye. And
Speaker 1: he was like, well, let's bring blessing to America to
Speaker 1: treat this. So we came here. And as as life
Speaker 1: sometimes goes, I got shot in my eye with a
Speaker 1: water gun in the good eye. Wow. And it's it's
Speaker 1: one of those things where it's so unlikely that it's hilarious,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I mean, I was like,
Speaker 1: it's hilarious. Well, you know what's crazy is my right
Speaker 1: eye doesn't work right. It never has. Yeah, says I
Speaker 1: was born were a patch as a kid? Is that true? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's true. So I wore a glasshouse blind brothers. And
Speaker 1: the reason I wear glasses for most of my life
Speaker 1: was it just to protect my one good eye. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh you did that too. Yeah, like the like when
Speaker 1: you played, they made you wear the goggle and to
Speaker 1: wear a patch first, just to try to fix the
Speaker 1: bad one. They put it over the good one that
Speaker 1: didn't work, and they were like, well, it's in your brain,
Speaker 1: so my eye wouldn't fix. But I would wear glasses
Speaker 1: just to make sure that nothing hit me in the
Speaker 1: other eye. Okay, but you got hit. It's unbelievable. You
Speaker 1: will appreciate this. I was literally the second before this happens,
Speaker 1: draining hoops just in my backyard, just like Michael Jordan's
Speaker 1: style hooks, you know what I mean. And the kid
Speaker 1: across the street was like buzzing, uh, you know, let's
Speaker 1: let's let's play with water guns. And I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I got to go to an amusement park. And he
Speaker 1: goes no, no, no, no no, from like two feet
Speaker 1: from me, and I was like, oh man, that's now
Speaker 1: I'm all wet. And I didn't I didn't know anything.
Speaker 1: It happened, you know what I mean. And it took
Speaker 1: about twenty four hours for me to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: this isn't good, you know what I mean? So from
Speaker 1: that was like this emergency surgery thing. It was a lot.
Speaker 1: So that weirdly happened. And as that's happening, we get
Speaker 1: a piano in the house. So all that outside energy
Speaker 1: I put to the piano and weirdly enough, like fell
Speaker 1: in love with playing music. I was taking lessons before,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't taking it seriously. But then I had
Speaker 1: all this energy, man like and all this time to
Speaker 1: just fall in love with this stuff. And so it's
Speaker 1: I mean, funny, kissmi God, how the awful things paved
Speaker 1: the way for all the good, beautiful stuff. So here
Speaker 1: we are now. You know what's up of Blessing? The name?
Speaker 1: Right in Nigeria, My name's so common. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of people named Blessing. It's like Smith. It's definitely like
Speaker 1: if not Smith, like Jason. Yeah, okay, I got it.
Speaker 1: So Blessing is a common name. It doesn't mean the
Speaker 1: same thing to us. So I speak a language called Ebol,
Speaker 1: So Blessing in my language is zi that's how you'd
Speaker 1: say it. But my my birth certificate says B L
Speaker 1: E S S I n G. Yeah. So blessing off
Speaker 1: for O F O R. Well, Bobby means a man
Speaker 1: with muscles there, that is what that means. Yes, it

Speaker 1: son jam? His name is Stevenson, Oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's Haitian. He also came to America around that
Speaker 1: age seven year really, and so one of his he
Speaker 1: loves Christian music, Like when I pick him up from school,
Speaker 1: he immediately puts that on or anytime we get in
Speaker 1: the car, and like there's so many songs that come
Speaker 1: on where he's like stop talking without toml Yeah and yeah,
Speaker 1: your stuff is. I just was freaking out when you
Speaker 1: were coming in because I was like, well, I'm going
Speaker 1: to start videoing whenever he starts warming, because I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take the video home and he'll think that I'm the
Speaker 1: coolest could go at you Listen, I'm gonna tell you this,
Speaker 1: this studio already feels like home. So I'm just no,
Speaker 1: I really appreciate the welcome. This has been amazing. Well,
Speaker 1: there's a huge sonic cut beside you. Excellent. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just so you know, yeah, is that for me. No,
Speaker 1: it just sits there, you know. But if you want
Speaker 1: to drink out of it, you can. It's like a
Speaker 1: mystery sonic cut it is. Yeah, we never know what's in.
Speaker 1: I want to hold off, just to be clear. Chris
Speaker 1: Stevenson loves your songs. No, No, I don't take anything.
Speaker 1: I totally get it. I mean I would I like
Speaker 1: Blessing better than me. Can. I tell you guys a
Speaker 1: funny story. When I introduced him Roof on the Road,
Speaker 1: I always go I got. I got a phone call
Speaker 1: from an unknown number and it said, this is Chris
Speaker 1: Tomlin and I'm Nigerian and I know how these scams work,
Speaker 1: and like I always go the old this is Chris
Speaker 1: Tomlin trick. Yeah, would you play Brighter Days for us? Oh? Man,
Speaker 1: it would be my pleasure. Right. Blessing offers here and
Speaker 1: you know you can stream it. We'll get them all
Speaker 1: the information on where to find it, where to find you,
Speaker 1: but we're gonna listen to the song. Here. Here is
Speaker 1: Blessing with Brighter Days. You know, Chris Blessing Good Friday,
Speaker 1: Nashville happens tonight. So this has been running for a
Speaker 1: long time. A Chris I'll have you speak on this.
Speaker 1: So Blessing is gonna be there with you. Yes, he is.
Speaker 1: So what do you guys do? What's happening here? Yes?
Speaker 1: So every year I do Good Friday Nashville. I've done
Speaker 1: it for seven years now at the Bridge Down Arena,
Speaker 1: and you know, it's a moment to gather and for
Speaker 1: all the different streams of the church for Easter weekend,
Speaker 1: you know, to have a moment for Nashville, for Middle Tennessee,
Speaker 1: for all the surrounding areas to come. And I would
Speaker 1: have never dreamed it turned into what has turned into.
Speaker 1: But every year it's a it's a it's a not
Speaker 1: of worship. And then I'll have a guest artists that
Speaker 1: are with me as well, and we've had so many
Speaker 1: people through the years, but this year, Blessing is one
Speaker 1: of those. And I can't think of a more appropriate,
Speaker 1: more timely song for what Nashville has been going through
Speaker 1: than this song in this moment and where it will
Speaker 1: come in the night and what's going on and all
Speaker 1: the things we're going to be doing in this night.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be very, very powerful. So we'll come
Speaker 1: back in a second more with Chris Tomlin and Blessing.
Speaker 1: But again, Good Friday Nashville. Everybody listening locally in Nashville
Speaker 1: Bridge Down Arena, seven pm, but also for everybody listening
Speaker 1: all over the country right now, there's a live stream
Speaker 1: on YouTube and Facebook that begins at seventh Central, so
Speaker 1: you can kind of do the math there. Although I
Speaker 1: struggle with time zones eight Eastern, seventh Central, six Mountain,
Speaker 1: five Pacific. I gotta walk it all down, got it,
Speaker 1: because we're in all the time. So there's also like
Speaker 1: Hawaiian and Alaska. But it's the Blessing. You gonna mess
Speaker 1: with me now. I'm happy to start saying that too,
Speaker 1: because we do have an affiliate in Alaska and now
Speaker 1: I feel like I've neglected them now I feel like
Speaker 1: a bad person Canada. Oh okay, well no, that's that'll
Speaker 1: fit into the other ones. Yeah, that's right. A book.
Speaker 1: We'll come back with Chris Tomlin and Blessing. It just
Speaker 1: one second. So if you're listening to this all over
Speaker 1: the country tonight, you can watch the Good Friday Nashville
Speaker 1: on a live stream YouTube Facebook beginning at seventh Central,
Speaker 1: So just kind of do the math and figure out
Speaker 1: what time zone you're in and you can watch that
Speaker 1: and you've been doing the seven years Chris, seven years?
Speaker 1: How did this start? Well? Why and where and all that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, back when I lived in Houston, we started
Speaker 1: doing Good Friday there and just for in the Woodlands.
Speaker 1: And then when I lived in Atlanta, we started a
Speaker 1: Good Friday Atlanta, and so moving to Nashville, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I've done this in the different cities where I've lived,
Speaker 1: and I thought this could be an incredible moment. I
Speaker 1: did not know where we would meet, and because I'd
Speaker 1: done a few concerts here and and then my team said,
Speaker 1: I think we should do the Bridgetone Arena. I'm like,
Speaker 1: bridge Own Arena. Are you kidding me? There? That's not
Speaker 1: gonna be that men, people show up and it's gonna
Speaker 1: fill up the floor. I'm gonna be it's gonna be embarrassing.
Speaker 1: What are you what are you talking about doing bridge Stone?
Speaker 1: And they're like, no, No, I really think it's could
Speaker 1: be amazing. And the first year just incredible. Fifteen thousand
Speaker 1: people are so came and I was just like, what
Speaker 1: is happening? And as it was and you'll appreciate this.
Speaker 1: I think probably because I was like, Okay, if I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do this every year, I don't feel I don't
Speaker 1: feel like this should be a place where I make
Speaker 1: any money from this. This feels weird, and especially it's
Speaker 1: Easter and all the things I said, I just I
Speaker 1: want just want to give whatever the profits come, whatever
Speaker 1: proceeds come, I just want to give away to something
Speaker 1: that really helps kids and helps people in Nashville and
Speaker 1: whenever it's coming. And so I went, I all of
Speaker 1: a sudden had this windfall of money because I didn't
Speaker 1: think that many people were coming, and now I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, what are we going to do with this?
Speaker 1: And so every year we have poured into UM the
Speaker 1: vulnerable kids across Nashville, across the state of Tennessee. Have
Speaker 1: built a lot of things just through this concert. And
Speaker 1: so a lot of things have happened over the last
Speaker 1: seven years. And this year we're going to obviously highlight UM,
Speaker 1: what's what's going on with the Covenant and also the
Speaker 1: police force and UH this year and just give back
Speaker 1: in that way. And so it's it's a time of
Speaker 1: obviously coming together on Good Friday, Easter weekend, the weekend
Speaker 1: of you know for people of faith, of our hope
Speaker 1: that we have in this world, and and the and
Speaker 1: so and remembering the Cross, remembering the grace of God
Speaker 1: in our life. And that's what this is about. And
Speaker 1: it's just been so special. Max Locato speaks in the night,
Speaker 1: Max is um of all the people who've written books
Speaker 1: and Christian Christianity, and he's he's written he's the biggest
Speaker 1: selling of all time of any offers. He's sold over
Speaker 1: one hundred million books just himself, just his books, and
Speaker 1: he's had an incredible influence with people around the world
Speaker 1: and his writings, and he's partnered with me every year
Speaker 1: because I feel like he's such a he's kind of
Speaker 1: this grandfather. He wouldn't hate me say that, because his
Speaker 1: grandfatherly voice that has been around for for forty fifty
Speaker 1: years now and has been so trusted throughout the years.
Speaker 1: And so for someone who can speak to the entire
Speaker 1: nation and people who are listening all over the world,
Speaker 1: he has turned into Good Friday worldwide. And COVID happened.
Speaker 1: That COVID happened, and we had to shift and we
Speaker 1: just started doing it through TV and online and now
Speaker 1: we've so we've kept the online and live streaming, but
Speaker 1: still doing it in Nashville. And we'll see how many
Speaker 1: years it goes. But it's just it's still has so
Speaker 1: much incredible people have responded an incredible way. Time Magazine
Speaker 1: said you're the most often sung artist in the whole world.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that that makes sense when they start
Speaker 1: to do the math because my wife. My wife's only
Speaker 1: been excited like three people ever it's coming over my
Speaker 1: house or even been here. She does not. It's really
Speaker 1: not her thing. And so one was Ronnie Dunne from
Speaker 1: Brooks and Dunne, who were very close with She was like,
Speaker 1: Ronnie's coming over, I'm gonna go. The other one was you,
Speaker 1: and she was like, Chris is coming over. Chris Tomlin
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, she goes, let me see
Speaker 1: how many songs I can name. She she's saying, like,
Speaker 1: thirteen in a row. I don't know thirteen songs to
Speaker 1: me anybody? Chris and she was and I'm like, how
Speaker 1: do you know every word to all those songs? She goes,
Speaker 1: we sang them at church. Yeah, Like for me, we
Speaker 1: did a lot of old school hymns. It was rock
Speaker 1: of ages. We didn't get to sing cool Chris Tomlin stuff.
Speaker 1: But she knew every she knew every one of your songs,
Speaker 1: and so that was I looked cool to her because
Speaker 1: you came over and you're the most sung person ever. Um,
Speaker 1: so that's a pretty cool title to hold, Like you
Speaker 1: should have a championship belt for that, like every year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you ever go into a church and they don't know
Speaker 1: it's you and they're singing your songs, because that would
Speaker 1: be cool. Yeah, that's happened to a lot of times,
Speaker 1: and I always that's when it That's probably the great
Speaker 1: privilege for me, man. Honestly, it's because there's something about
Speaker 1: it when somebody has taken I have nothing to do
Speaker 1: with it and they just take my song and they
Speaker 1: lead it and I have and it's not me leading it,
Speaker 1: and it's for some reason they think this song is
Speaker 1: important or this song is special to people, and that
Speaker 1: that means more to me than anything. So yeah, that's always.
Speaker 1: That's always like that motivation. Okay, keep writing, keep writing
Speaker 1: these songs and they're connecting to people. The Word of
Speaker 1: God is super important to you spoken in through music.
Speaker 1: But do you ever cheat a golf cheat? Yeah? You
Speaker 1: ever cheat at golf? Because that wouldn't be you can't.
Speaker 1: You're Chris Tomlin. Yea, so absolutely Okay, Okay, Well, I
Speaker 1: don't like what I'm hearing. I'll be honest. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you when I say when, when you say cheat, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about footwage, like out of that. Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I'm just asking if I see Chris Toma cheating anything,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I do I give? I do have to
Speaker 1: give a little food eache other three I asked my wife.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, what should we have? What should
Speaker 1: we asked Chris to play it? And she said good,
Speaker 1: good father. Yeah, that was the first thing she said.
Speaker 1: So I'm first of all, I'm super honored that you
Speaker 1: would come up here and play for us. There's like
Speaker 1: six of us here. It's like our own concert and um,
Speaker 1: and you should introduce your players. So Daniel has been
Speaker 1: with me for twenty three years. Daniel, come on, Daniel
Speaker 1: is incredible. We've been together and traveled the world all
Speaker 1: over the world many times together. Daniel has five kids
Speaker 1: himself in great dad great but just been right there
Speaker 1: by my side for twenty three years playing touring, and
Speaker 1: I've toured for almost getting close to twenty six, twenty
Speaker 1: seven years now. But Daniel has been with me for
Speaker 1: a long long time. But welcome Daniel. Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: it has a long time. He must be pretty good boss,
Speaker 1: or does he have a lot of dirt on you?
Speaker 1: It's one of the two for twenty three years. I mean,
Speaker 1: these guys been on me for twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen years,
Speaker 1: but they got the dirt. It ain't think good fight,
Speaker 1: ain't the boss thing. Okay, Chris, would you mind playing
Speaker 1: good father for us? Absolutely? Man, that's so good, Chris.
Speaker 1: I never heard you singing like that, clothes that that's awesome.
Speaker 1: That's cool. Okay, you're right. You guys almost at harmonies,
Speaker 1: but I was like, oh we didn't practice. Hey, me too.
Speaker 1: Bobby almost made a quire in this. Now, okay, look,
Speaker 1: a couple of things I want to do. First of all,
Speaker 1: let me tell everybody that you know, tonight you can
Speaker 1: watch on live stream even if you're not in Nashville.
Speaker 1: So that's the whole point of this is to get
Speaker 1: it to as many people as possible. So it's the
Speaker 1: seventh annual Good Friday Nashville Concert. So live stream on
Speaker 1: YouTube and Facebook beginning at seven pm Central time. And
Speaker 1: still get tickets at Good Friday, Nashville dot Com and
Speaker 1: the YouTube and the Facebook like who's you're just your
Speaker 1: personal okay Facebook? Yeah? Um, so we're raising money for
Speaker 1: great causes. We're we have a positive message, we have
Speaker 1: great singing sounds like it's all there, It's all there. Okay. Now,
Speaker 1: I got a couple other things I want to say.
Speaker 1: First of all, Blessing and Chris both view just kind
Speaker 1: of knowing your stories individually before together. There's a parallel
Speaker 1: that I'm sure you guys have connected that. Blessing, you
Speaker 1: talked about being a kid and you came to America
Speaker 1: because one of your eye, you're a blinding one of
Speaker 1: your eyes, and when your other eye, when you lost
Speaker 1: VISI Internet, you started to play piano. Indeed, so technically
Speaker 1: I started a little before. But you're like you said,
Speaker 1: you dialed into, you dialed in. Let me go to Chris. Now, Chris,
Speaker 1: you got sick as a kid, yes, and you have
Speaker 1: you guys talked about and you got sick and you
Speaker 1: started I don't think actually we have no use. Are
Speaker 1: you also blinding night? But you got really sick with
Speaker 1: like was it like I got I got mono and
Speaker 1: and I couldn't play baseball, and they maybe all summer.
Speaker 1: It's a fourth grade and fourth grade and I had
Speaker 1: to stay in in the house all summer. And my
Speaker 1: dad said, you're gonna Travis crazy, and you gotta do something.
Speaker 1: I want to teach you play guitar. And so for
Speaker 1: that summer, sorry, that summer is a whole um. Every
Speaker 1: day I would just sit at home. My brothers would
Speaker 1: go do their thing, and I sit at home and
Speaker 1: I just work on the guitar. And my dad would
Speaker 1: teach me everyday, would teach me something. He'd go to work,
Speaker 1: I come home. We'd learned that. Next day, teach you
Speaker 1: something else. And it's all that. So what would seem
Speaker 1: to be something that was a really hard time in
Speaker 1: your lives for different reasons, actually was a blessing when
Speaker 1: you look back later. Yes, that blessing had blessing out
Speaker 1: a blessing, but blessing had piano and it started. But
Speaker 1: then had that to really put his time, energy, passion into.
Speaker 1: And you do the same with music there. Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: That's how That's how it works a lot of times
Speaker 1: out there, that's how it works. Now. I know no
Speaker 1: one I just learned that's how it works. Um, I
Speaker 1: want to tell one more Chris Tomlin's story if you
Speaker 1: don't mind, and blessing, I don't know. Would you like
Speaker 1: to a company with a little bit of background music
Speaker 1: on piano? I would story follow along. Yeah, So Chris
Speaker 1: was over the house and we were talking about how
Speaker 1: it's got to be difficult to be a beloved artist
Speaker 1: that sings about the Word of God and people just
Speaker 1: associate you with Jesus all the time, where people only
Speaker 1: want to act super proper around you, where they're just like,
Speaker 1: there's Chris Tomlin, I'm gonna be on my best behavior, right,
Speaker 1: that's and so yeah, just that difficulty of you just
Speaker 1: want to be a normal dude. Because I and I
Speaker 1: love Chris, and I've tried to like Chris and I
Speaker 1: text a little bit and can't hang out, no I can,
Speaker 1: you know, we go, oh, we're on the road, okay.
Speaker 1: And so we're having this party in my house over Christmas,
Speaker 1: and we had all these fake casino as classy as
Speaker 1: this song as it's exactly classy enough. This is exactly
Speaker 1: the music. And so Chris and I just had this
Speaker 1: conversation and I said to my wife. You know, we
Speaker 1: should have write Chris and his wife over to this
Speaker 1: casino party we're having. I went, oh, it's gambling. My
Speaker 1: wife goes, you're doing exactly what you talked about, and
Speaker 1: so I said, oh, that's a great point. So I
Speaker 1: text Chris and I said, hey, Chris, you should come
Speaker 1: when he's on the road. Sadly or he does. Didn't
Speaker 1: like the fake gambling, but I fell fell into that
Speaker 1: trap too, where I was like, I'm stake gambling. We
Speaker 1: shouldn't invite Chris over because fun things are happening. Don't
Speaker 1: call Chris yes too much fun. But I I was
Speaker 1: a hypocrite but didn't mean to be because I like,
Speaker 1: that's got to be hard Chris. People, I would never
Speaker 1: do that to you. And I'm like, well there's blackjack,
Speaker 1: so Chris I doesn't want to come. That'd being said.
Speaker 1: I think you are just the friendliest, like you're one
Speaker 1: of the rare guys that I have met professionally, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I want to be friends with that dude.
Speaker 1: So I'm just a dude. Man, I'm just a guy.
Speaker 1: And I said, dude, just a guy, and I and
Speaker 1: I'd love to come to that and I was so honored.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't invite me, and I would totally enjoy see
Speaker 1: there we go. And that's especially enjoyed because the gambling
Speaker 1: was bless all the time, just playing music for a
Speaker 1: show like scoring the show. Yes, there was gambling, but
Speaker 1: it was a real gambling, not real, but then also
Speaker 1: a donation with I donated at charity to whoever won.
Speaker 1: There's money. I love that. See even better, nothing says
Speaker 1: the Lord like charity. All right, I'm with you, but amen,
Speaker 1: it's sinning for a good cause. That's well, okay, look

Speaker 1: compelling stuff for the show. I got a note Sam
Speaker 1: Lunchbox interview Tom Hanks, and that just wouldn't have not

Speaker 1: not the the actor. Oh yeah, yeah, sure you're not.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, whatever, okay, yeah yeah, Like is Rita there? Okay,
Speaker 1: Rita you guys? Right, Well, here's the thing I figured it,
Speaker 1: which is a Tom Hanks. I have two other clubs
Speaker 1: that about a minute long. I don't know that I
Speaker 1: want to hear them. Well, hold on, you got to
Speaker 1: hear it. Is it the same bit though? Right? No, no,
Speaker 1: it's not the same bit, So he probably called a
Speaker 1: different Tom. What'd you do? In clip two? That guy
Speaker 1: hung up on me? I know? But then what you
Speaker 1: do called Tom back? Same Tom? Guyote? I mean I
Speaker 1: gotta get Eddie a shout out from Tom Hay, you
Speaker 1: want to hear the clip, yester? No, I do want
Speaker 1: to hear it. Go ahead, this is tom ah Sorry,
Speaker 1: I think we got disconnected, mister Hanks, like I mean
Speaker 1: freaking Tom has technically you you are right, this is
Speaker 1: really Tom Hank. Yeah. And like Eddie my my co
Speaker 1: worker and friend, he is like he's such a huge
Speaker 1: thing and he's just like setting him a little message. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can totally do that. If you want to say
Speaker 1: anything to Hooge too. I am hanging out with him
Speaker 1: later too, if you want to deliver a message. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the dog is still I mean, how cool, Like,
Speaker 1: how did you train that dog to be sold? Bit? No,
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. You're just acting like Tom Hanks
Speaker 1: yelling go ahead. Can you just keep it going? Why
Speaker 1: you gotta hang out? I mean, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: when do we get Tom Hanks on the phone. We
Speaker 1: don't have the actor Tom Hanks on the phone. I
Speaker 1: would go to discontinue the bit. It's up to you
Speaker 1: guys about to continue Eddie. I kind of want to
Speaker 1: hear the shout out he ever does it? Amy, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm good moving on, Amy, Amy, don't be rude? Oh
Speaker 1: what not rude? Play the right? Can you play the
Speaker 1: rest of the clip. Play the rest. Good to Turner
Speaker 1: and Hoop. I mean we just basically use liquor to
Speaker 1: bribe the dogs. But yeah, it was pretty fun hanging
Speaker 1: out with him. And what about a lieutenant Nan? Do
Speaker 1: you still talk to him? Sure? Okay, he didn't even
Speaker 1: get a shout out. I have another one minute clip.
Speaker 1: I just can't do it. Guys, Wait, wait, wait, play
Speaker 1: the last one. Why it's the same same thing as
Speaker 1: we got disconnected? You know, maybe maybe he has some
Speaker 1: inside on how to get old. Should I play her? Now? Well,
Speaker 1: this is where I think the guy gets upset, so
Speaker 1: if you want to pay it off shore. But that's
Speaker 1: a good point. Let's hear him already this far. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I'll keep going. Let hello, Tom, Like, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you have bad sell or what, but we keep
Speaker 1: getting disconnected like you are. We're not getting disconnected, dude,
Speaker 1: I slip. I humored you. I get what you're doing.
Speaker 1: You're not the first dude to do this, but like,
Speaker 1: come on, the real Tom Hanks is like in Greece
Speaker 1: or something like, what is your problem? Dude? I told
Speaker 1: you that's not me. I'm just some guy. I do
Speaker 1: real estate. That's why I have to keep answering my
Speaker 1: phone with my name? Anyway? How do you find time
Speaker 1: to sell houses when you're still like acting? Is there
Speaker 1: like a bad connection? Like you not here that I'm
Speaker 1: not the Tom Hanks bro? What's chat doing? Is he's
Speaker 1: chat there with you? Are you having lunch with him
Speaker 1: and Rita today? Actually? I'm shooting Forrest Gump too, and
Speaker 1: then I'm selling a duplex after this. It's gonna be dope. Oh.
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the guy now. He's like, I
Speaker 1: go by the name Tom Hanks. Is his name Thomas Hanks,
Speaker 1: Thomas Hanks. I think it was Tommy Hanks. I think
Speaker 1: about And how did you find I? Just Google? Man,
Speaker 1: that's what you did for fun? Google just looking up
Speaker 1: some celebrities, see if I can find some numbers. And
Speaker 1: I came across a Tommy Hanks or Thompson Thompson Hanks
Speaker 1: something like that and gave him call. That's why I
Speaker 1: wouldn't let us listen to him. Why he was gone,
Speaker 1: because he knew what we'd go. Oh boy, hey, man,
Speaker 1: tell me that wasn't fun though. Everybody, if you if
Speaker 1: you say hey, coming up, we got Tom Hanks on
Speaker 1: the phone. Tell me people that's misleading. Uh, do we
Speaker 1: have Tom Hanks on the phone. We didn't say we're
Speaker 1: having the Tom Hanks on the phone. We say we're
Speaker 1: having Tom Hanks on the phone. So if Garth Brooks
Speaker 1: was coming in, it's a different Garth Brooks. Yea. If

Speaker 1: you're not employee the month there? Amy, Who do you
Speaker 1: think it should be? I mean, I don't like to

Speaker 1: table this month. Okay, So from mom confessions, like there
Speaker 1: was a couple of things I admitted about my kids
Speaker 1: where it led to a lot of people calling in.
Speaker 1: I helped people with their health by talking about what
Speaker 1: doctors say you should know, like don't have medicine in
Speaker 1: your bathroom, because did you make it go bad? Plan
Speaker 1: a speech in case you did. I mean this speech

Speaker 1: you don't have to, like I'm planned, you have one written. Yes,
Speaker 1: let's go. I don't I feel like you're not telling
Speaker 1: me the truth. That's not a speech, Amy to you? Okay, lunchbox,
Speaker 1: should you be the employee of the month. Yeah, let
Speaker 1: me go ahead and get my speech right now. March
Speaker 1: had highs and lows, just like our stocks. Amy could
Speaker 1: win because yeah she got a divorce, but are we
Speaker 1: really going to reward her for her marriage not working
Speaker 1: out on her. Eddie brought as much interesting content as
Speaker 1: he has hairs on the top of his head, which
Speaker 1: isn't many Ray just like his height comes up just
Speaker 1: a little short and unfortunately for Abby National Make a
Speaker 1: Wish month isn't until April. That's pretty polar speech. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm employed in the month. I kind of want
Speaker 1: to switch it up and give it to him because
Speaker 1: he didn't get it. But he's all hating on it.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, that's funny. He used us as content.
Speaker 1: That's funny. He did a roast, but you didn't get
Speaker 1: a lunch. I didn't get that speech was in this
Speaker 1: month though for next month? Go What a way to
Speaker 1: start the month. Man brought that brought that hammer. Raymonde.
Speaker 1: You were up in the mix for you did reveal
Speaker 1: your county music secret at to me and then we
Speaker 1: decided since there was no valid source and we couldn't
Speaker 1: share it for legal reasons, we wouldn't. And you also
Speaker 1: talked about how much you got paid for vacation Part two? Yeah,
Speaker 1: who course, um Abbey one blind karaoke and the IQ
Speaker 1: test oh did yeah? Yeah, but it's not her, so
Speaker 1: it's Morgan or Amy, don't forget about my tailbone. Oh
Speaker 1: we can't. We can't forget about your tailbone keeps hitting
Speaker 1: us and my cat mailing at me. Morgan, what was
Speaker 1: your speech? Well, I believe I should win because I
Speaker 1: am consistent. Consistency is key for any job. This month,
Speaker 1: I got vulnerable confessing something that happened during a day
Speaker 1: and something that happened at my house. And you know,
Speaker 1: every single day of the week, I'm working hard to
Speaker 1: connect with our listeners on social media. So it's gonna
Speaker 1: be Amy or Morgan. That's easy. Yeah, that's and so
Speaker 1: we're recognizing the member of the show who has brought
Speaker 1: the best content, best storylines overall, has shined more than
Speaker 1: anyone else, which, by the way, the last employee the
Speaker 1: month went to Raymundo. Raymundo, you're you're exiting? Yeah, exactly
Speaker 1: say that. Next champion, though, Well, it's tough to go
Speaker 1: back to back, right, Kansas shot at Lunchbow and I'm
Speaker 1: not worried about that. Still got that ring. Okay, if
Speaker 1: you win, you get to pick a prize, Amy and Morgan.
Speaker 1: If you win, you can spend the wheel of cash.
Speaker 1: He goes one to one hundred, dollars. We put more
Speaker 1: money up there in different spots. This time, I have
Speaker 1: to pay that myself. Self promotion. You can promote whatever
Speaker 1: you want fifteen seconds and get a dedicated employee the
Speaker 1: month post on the Bobby Boncho Instagram pa. Or you
Speaker 1: can block someone else from contention for three months, but
Speaker 1: you can't block someone who's currently blocked. But nobody's blocked
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, all right, the winner is if employee
Speaker 1: of the Month Amy. Even though Lunchbox said, Lunchbox, what
Speaker 1: did you say about Amy? I said, Amy Goodwin. Yes,
Speaker 1: because she got a divorce. But are we really going
Speaker 1: to reward her for her marriage not working out? Okay,
Speaker 1: I can't agree with that. I don't think that. That's
Speaker 1: not the point. The point is whatever happened. You came
Speaker 1: on and openly talked about it, and yeah, I get
Speaker 1: that I was vulnerable, but also I feel like I
Speaker 1: had other good ideas that had nothing to do with that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's what I wanted for the most part. You
Speaker 1: came on and were was honest, and you know, Okay,
Speaker 1: there's always like a big header of the month for somebody.
Speaker 1: All right, Megan, note to me, why are you going
Speaker 1: to divorce next month, Amy, would you like to spend
Speaker 1: the will of cash self promotion? We can laugh no
Speaker 1: or block someone from contention. It's still hard. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: do self promotion. Okay wait, yeah, you don't whatever you
Speaker 1: want for fifteen no, no will no, you can spend Okay, okay, no,
Speaker 1: I got I gotta, I gotta get what you got

Speaker 1: we'll put a post on the Instagram page, just says Amy,
Speaker 1: Employee of the Month, big fancy header ready, yes, and
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds starts now. I would like for everybody to

Speaker 1: the month there she has. Well, I just want to
Speaker 1: thank our listeners too for being just super warm and
Speaker 1: kind and loving through what was shared this month, because
Speaker 1: that was hard and I was nervous that they have
Speaker 1: made me feel super loved. He feeling pretty strong for
Speaker 1: next month. That's pretty vulnerable, right there. She wins it again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because of that keeps dragging a dime. It's the best
Speaker 1: bits of the week with Morgan number two, some really
Speaker 1: feel good stories for y'all. We decided to share the
Speaker 1: craziest random acts of kindness that have ever happened to us,
Speaker 1: and everybody kind of had a story to share, and
Speaker 1: one that I didn't get a chance to share with y'all,
Speaker 1: but was really cool for me. When I first got
Speaker 1: my jeep, my tire blew out and I did not
Speaker 1: know how to change attire, especially on this new vehicle
Speaker 1: that I had, and I was about forty five minutes
Speaker 1: away from my parents at the time, and a stranger
Speaker 1: stopped on the side of the road and helped me
Speaker 1: change my attire and drove away like it was no
Speaker 1: big deal. But I have remembered that moment forever and
Speaker 1: I'll never forget it. And I just really hope that
Speaker 1: stranger is out there living his best life because he
Speaker 1: really helped me out. My parents weren't close enough to
Speaker 1: come and help me, and they were trying to coach
Speaker 1: me through it, but he came and he saved the day,
Speaker 1: and that was something that I think about often. So
Speaker 1: I wish I could stop and help people on the
Speaker 1: side of the road more often. Being a woman, that's
Speaker 1: not really an option for me a lot of the times,
Speaker 1: but I wish I could because of this guy. So
Speaker 1: that is why I like to stop for animals whenever
Speaker 1: I see them, and I can help if I see
Speaker 1: a stray dog or straight cat. That's my way of
Speaker 1: helping and I can do it safely. So cool random
Speaker 1: acts of kindness, and everybody on the show shared one,
Speaker 1: and plus we also got something from listeners who shared
Speaker 1: their crazy random acts of kindness. There's just this segment
Speaker 1: reminded me that there is good in the world. Number one.
Speaker 1: I want to know the craziest random act of kindness
Speaker 1: that you have ever experienced, Eddie, I'm go to you first.
Speaker 1: Go ahead. Yeah, this happened a long time ago, and
Speaker 1: it's just one that's always stuck in my mind. My
Speaker 1: wife and I we weren't married at the time, we
Speaker 1: were still in college. We're dating and we wanted to
Speaker 1: go see you two, and so we go to the
Speaker 1: stadium and they're playing, but we don't have tickets because
Speaker 1: we're broke, and so we just want to sit out
Speaker 1: there and listen to music. And this guy comes up.
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, you want to buy my ticket? My dude, sorry,
Speaker 1: we don't have any money. We just came to listen
Speaker 1: to the music outside the stadium. He's like, what you drove?
Speaker 1: Like how far? About an hour? Look you know what, man,
Speaker 1: I have tickets for sale. You can have one of them.
Speaker 1: And I was like, awesome, and then somebody said I
Speaker 1: heard somebody say that you don't have tickets, but you
Speaker 1: guys just drove here. Yeah, here, take my ticket too.
Speaker 1: So my wife and I got into the concert for free.
Speaker 1: That's awesome, Like, that's just something I'll never make money out.
Speaker 1: Both of them could have made money on. Absolutely, that's
Speaker 1: a good one, Raymundo. Yeah, mine split between Bones and Amy.
Speaker 1: Which one you want or both of them? What do
Speaker 1: you mean like both of us did something? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: when you my vehicle, I don't think I was on
Speaker 1: its last leg. You bought me those nine hundred dollars
Speaker 1: tires I needed where they each nine hundred over there
Speaker 1: all together, all together. But otherwise, I mean I could
Speaker 1: have gone on low harder. That's good though, Yes, I'm
Speaker 1: just kidding ahead. And then the other one was we
Speaker 1: were me and my wife were going to drive to
Speaker 1: Michigan because I was going to a funeral, and Amy goes, no,
Speaker 1: we're buying your flight. Come on. Yeah, so she wought
Speaker 1: the whole night. That one, Dang, it's pretty awesome. Should
Speaker 1: have been the news that he and now the news
Speaker 1: that's good, okay, lunchbox, Well mine was I snuck down
Speaker 1: to the expensive seats at a Houston Astro's game. They
Speaker 1: were playing the Cubs, and I was like twelve, thirteen
Speaker 1: years old. There was these two ladies there and they
Speaker 1: started heckling me, saying, no Cubs fans allowed down here.
Speaker 1: And I started talking to him back and forth, and
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, if you ever need tickets to a
Speaker 1: Astro's game, just email us. We have season tickets right
Speaker 1: here behind the dugout, and so boom, I could go
Speaker 1: anytime I wanted. Did you ever email? Yeah, numerous times
Speaker 1: over the years, and you went, yeah, oh, you made
Speaker 1: it sound like it was like present and future tense,
Speaker 1: but you didn't do it. No, I went, I went
Speaker 1: all the time. And they ended up. Those two women
Speaker 1: came to our wedding. Really did we get him? How
Speaker 1: crazy is that? That's a pretty good one. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: still talked to him to this day. You're talking about
Speaker 1: on Facebook Messenger while you're doing the show sometimes. No,
Speaker 1: I do not have them on Facebook. Maybe they are
Speaker 1: on Facebook. I didn't even think about the one lady's eighty.
Speaker 1: She had her eightieth birthday and her daughter is like
Speaker 1: fifty five fifty six. Story. Yeah, so I'm still friends
Speaker 1: with them. To this day. And I met him when
Speaker 1: I was like thirteen years old. That's good. They ever
Speaker 1: come to your house. They have never been to my house,
Speaker 1: but I have no, I haven't been going to Vegas
Speaker 1: with you. I have not been there. I wonder if
Speaker 1: i'll hit her up. This is the story that sparked
Speaker 1: at all. This guy, Bill was picked up from a
Speaker 1: dialysis center and so he needed a transplant because obviously
Speaker 1: his kidney wasn't doing what it needed to do. Called
Speaker 1: the n Uber and his Uber driver made him an offer. Listen, buddy, No,
Speaker 1: the offer was a kidney. Oh yeah, there was no
Speaker 1: negotiation for money or anything. On his way home, he
Speaker 1: told the driver what was going on, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he said, well, I think God must
Speaker 1: have put you in my car. He says, if you'll
Speaker 1: take my name and number and it works, I'll give
Speaker 1: you a kidney. And the guy said, I didn't even
Speaker 1: know if he was kidding or not. So in order
Speaker 1: to qualify for the donation, that driver had to go
Speaker 1: his name as last name was Let's. He had to
Speaker 1: go and make sure he had compatible blood and tissue.
Speaker 1: True to his word, he did all that and while
Speaker 1: he was able to give him that kidney. Wild that's
Speaker 1: crazy that it's just a dude who picked you up.
Speaker 1: You're just talking and he still moved either by your
Speaker 1: story or moved by him just wanting to help somebody out,
Speaker 1: or I don't know, he gives you a kidney. That's
Speaker 1: from the New York Post. You wonder if his other
Speaker 1: family members were like, can you save that case? We
Speaker 1: need to Probably not, probably not, but that is a
Speaker 1: really cool story. And we were talking about random act
Speaker 1: of kindness that have randomly happened to you. And so
Speaker 1: we went around the room a little bit. We still
Speaker 1: have more I can go with mine. I was listing
Speaker 1: them out. I've really, in a lot of ways been
Speaker 1: super fortunate. I'll just do when I was really young,
Speaker 1: I remember being nine years old when we grew up
Speaker 1: without a lot, and there was a knock at the door.
Speaker 1: And there were times where and there were Christmases where
Speaker 1: we really didn't get and it maybe one present, and
Speaker 1: it was always something that we could also use. So
Speaker 1: say knocked opened it and there was this lady but
Speaker 1: the huge box and presents, and I thought she went
Speaker 1: to the wrong door, and she was like, hey, is
Speaker 1: this and We're like, yeah, she was, Hey, we just
Speaker 1: wanted to drop these gifts off. I'd never seen her before,
Speaker 1: don't know the family she was from. And when churches
Speaker 1: sometimes it would show up too with gifts because we
Speaker 1: would be on some list of families who needed help.
Speaker 1: But it was her for some reason. She said, me
Speaker 1: and my family wanted to bring you these gifts. And
Speaker 1: it was like twelve big or at least medium to
Speaker 1: big sized gifts. She dropped them off and we had
Speaker 1: like a full Christmas. We didn't get to open them
Speaker 1: that evening because my mom was like, we're not opening
Speaker 1: that we get those are presents. We're gonna wait till
Speaker 1: Christmas Day. Yeah, and so, but they I never knew
Speaker 1: who it was. I can remember some of the gifts
Speaker 1: that I got, and that was really one of the
Speaker 1: best Christmases because there was no expectation of even only
Speaker 1: getting at Christmas, but that lady in her family whoever
Speaker 1: it was, decided to come by and drop it off.
Speaker 1: Now nowadays I would be like, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: have shame sometimes that we had to take so much
Speaker 1: like charity wise, But then I didn't I was nine.
Speaker 1: I know the difference at the time. That stuff didn't
Speaker 1: hit me till like fourteen or I was just embarrassed
Speaker 1: and didn't want to take anything. But I'm really grateful
Speaker 1: for that. So that was one they came to my mind.
Speaker 1: The second one was I was living in Little Rock
Speaker 1: and I was driving to and from work, which was
Speaker 1: like twenty five or thirty minutes, and I was doing
Speaker 1: a night show, so I would do the evening show.
Speaker 1: I would leave at one am. I ran out of gas,
Speaker 1: like one of the only times I've run out of gas.
Speaker 1: I remember pulling over. You kind of pull over, you
Speaker 1: kind of are forced over because you're like, well, and
Speaker 1: the gas station was probably a quarter of a mile away,
Speaker 1: and I remember walking to the gas station. I was
Speaker 1: gonna buy a gas can. I got up there and
Speaker 1: there were no gas cans at the gas station. They
Speaker 1: didn't have the little deals and I was like, oh crap,
Speaker 1: so what do I do? And so I thought she
Speaker 1: should have just buy a cup. I didn't really know
Speaker 1: what to do with the game. And I came back
Speaker 1: and for some reason, because I left the gas tank open,
Speaker 1: it so when I filled my car up with gas
Speaker 1: on the side of the road and they weren't even there.
Speaker 1: When I got back, were at the gas gone. Yes, wow,
Speaker 1: they must have known my car was out of gas
Speaker 1: because I I'd opened the gas tank. I don't know
Speaker 1: I even opened the gas tank then, maybe to see
Speaker 1: if you could pour something. I don't know. So that
Speaker 1: happened at one more too. You want one, yeah, I can,
Speaker 1: or you because another one? I love you have all
Speaker 1: these angels, I feel like I don't angel. I don't
Speaker 1: know someone reckons filling up your gas tank. Okay, go ahead,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Well, I feel like one of one
Speaker 1: that I have. I have many, but so many people
Speaker 1: helped us with our adoption from Haiti, but one family,
Speaker 1: in particular, the Hamilton's, they it's wild out of they
Speaker 1: did not have to take time to help me as
Speaker 1: much as they did or help us. And they introduced
Speaker 1: me to the former Prime Minister of Haiti, and I
Speaker 1: flew to Haiti and met him. He had never never
Speaker 1: met me, but because he trusted them, he took me
Speaker 1: on and did everything he could to help us get

Speaker 1: she's stepped up and raised money for Jake, had the
Speaker 1: news people come and had a parade ready for him
Speaker 1: when he did get out of ICU. She'd paid every
Speaker 1: she got it to where all of our expenses were
Speaker 1: paid during the hospital stay, our kids who were watching
Speaker 1: over the younger kids at home. They made sure they
Speaker 1: had groceries. And I bet she raised him over thirty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in just community efforts. And she just was
Speaker 1: an angel. And we never had met her ever in
Speaker 1: our lives. That's crazy. Can we say, who's she? Well?

Speaker 1: huh and you probably suggested it to her. How was
Speaker 1: the one mom? We should throw a parraideers you know
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna get on that, Tina. That sounds like
Speaker 1: a completely like shaped part of your life because you
Speaker 1: were able to, you know, have someone step in and help. Yeah,
