WEBVTT - Tuesday Post Show (7-13-21) 0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:05.520 It's time for the Bobby Bones post show. Here's your host, 0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:13.200 Bobby Bone. I was watching this video. It was a 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.840 TikTok where a guy's a top golf and it's raining, 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:19.319 but he hits the ball and the ball goes up 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.120 in the air and lightning hit struck the ball. Wow. 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:25.639 Wild video. And I'm not gonna talk about it too 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.080 much because it's hard to talk about. But you see 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.840 the lightning strike, go whoa, And are you sure it 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:35.320 is real? I'm not sure anything's really enough. Man. I 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:37.960 saw one Bones. It was like a baseball game and 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.879 looked like a tornado was gonna go through the stadium. 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:42.440 And I'm like, I just don't know what I can 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.440 believe anymore on TikTok. I do think this one's real, 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:49.440 but I wouldn't swear to its TikTok. Yeah, here's a 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:55.320 clip from k sat in San Antonio. All right, let 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.560 me hit this last shot and I told her to 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.120 record it, and then I sung it and then actually 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.040 know the lightning is coming out of the sky hitting 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:07.080 the ball. Right after the lining hit the whole place shrugged, 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.720 the lights flickering, the computer reset and everything. It could 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.520 hit me, it could it hurry could could anyways, it 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.440 was real, but also it's not hard to just go yeah, 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.280 computers reset and it really didn't. But I mean, I 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.399 think they could have proven it. You know. Man, we're 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.720 starting to see some like a lot of cool, cool 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.200 videos because of TikTok, because people always have their phones always. 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:31.480 So I saw that on there, I Hoop is celebrating 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.640 its sixty third birthday today by offering fifty eight cent 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.600 short stacks of pancakes. Oh wow, let's go. What am 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.920 I missing here? Mike sixty third birthday? But fifty eight cents? 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:49.520 Maybe in nineteen sixty three, it was that makes sense? Oh, 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.040 this is not a commercial. I would know the answer 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:55.160 to this. Oh when they first came out all fifty 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.960 eight cent pancakes nationwide on July thirteenth, which is today. Okay, 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:00.920 the number is a nod to the your Eyeop was founded, 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.000 which was nineteen fifty eight. So theills go from seven 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.040 am to seven pm across. I hoped all I have 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:12.800 Christian It's pretty cool. Got that. That one's more difficult. 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:13.959 You have to do the math to figure out was 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.600 nineteen fifty eight? Why they should have just made them 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.239 sixty three cents and made a little extra. Let's have 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.679 a call with her. Yeah, marketing promotion the headquarters. Yeah, 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.919 cleaning out of drawer earned a guy one million dollars. 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.239 Two stories. I'm gonna give you the drawer story and 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.360 the wedding photographer story. So just both of them are 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:35.320 kind of like what in the world. So I will 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:36.880 say this too. I just cleaned out a drawer, a 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.160 junk drawer. There was so much crap in there, like 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.160 documents from five houses ago, crazy, and I guess I 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.239 just moved one junk drawer to the next house and 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.280 it just accumulates. But the story is the guy's cleaning 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:54.200 out a drawer. His name is Kenneth Morgan, Jacksonville, Florida. 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.400 He found an old lottery ticket that he bought in 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.840 April and he forgot to check it. He came went 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.079 through the numbers and it won a million bucks. That's 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.240 cy like. Basically, a tossed his side lottery ticket and 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.160 he wasn't looking for the ticket because he thought at 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:07.919 one he just happened to come across the ticket. If 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:09.359 I find a ticket up, I'm not even looking to 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.919 see if it was right, probably just tossing it there's 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.000 a story about a wedding photographer and again this was 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:19.640 on TikTok too, where she actually accidentally called there's the 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.360 groom and there's the bride. But she accidentally called the 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.080 bride the name of the groom's ex girlfriend at the wedding. 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.160 How did she even know it? A viral TikTok shows 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.440 a wedding photographer mistakenly calling the Missouri bride Caitlin loved 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:36.560 Taylor instead. It's an honest mistake, but Taylor is the 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:40.680 name of the grooms X in the video where it's 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.960 like oh no, oh no, oh no, no, no, yeah, 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.280 the photographer saying one, two, three, Korey and Taylor look 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.720 at each other. Oh, and Taylor was the name of 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:55.000 the X And it was just coincidence. At first, I 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:56.640 was like, did she really just say that name out 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.680 of all the names she could have chose. I honestly 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.560 forgot it happened. Toss all. The video on TikTok was 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.080 my dream wedding, So I wasn't a little a little 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:06.920 mix up like that run my day. Oh no, no, no, 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.160 oh no. There's a story about they had like a 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.200 sleepover at the zoo. Did you guys see this with 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:16.200 all with the bats. No, no, so they were you know, 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:17.839 they have a bunch of kids at the zoo like 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.560 a group, because we would go as a church group 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.120 sometimes and go places for like overnight skating, drink stays. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.320 They do a lot of school. Mostly it was church stuff. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.200 Like a lock in. That's what it was. That's what 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.320 it was called a lock in. A sleepover at a 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.359 zoo did not go as planned. Close to two hundred 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.000 people are being advised to get raby shots after being 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.120 exposed to a rabid bat at Nebraska Zoo. Oh my gosh. 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.800 Campers participated in a sleepover at Henry Dorley Zoo and 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.559 Aquarium in Omaha. One woke up to a bat flying 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.520 around her. They found seven other bats. A bat that 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.039 they found in their tested positive for the disease. One 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.400 hundred and eighty six people were given refunds. The zoo 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.560 is paying for all the shots. Officials say they did 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.240 not know how the bats got into the venue, but 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.520 they had not been roosting there very long. But one 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.440 of them had it. Oh wow. And we from a 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.320 caller once that raby shots are not cheap. True, but 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.880 that but the zoo's paying for them. Yeah, but it 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:07.840 used to be you have to take a bunch of 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.600 stabs of the stomach. I think the process is a 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.040 little easier now good. But yeah, I had to deal 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.440 with bats in the episode last week and breaking bobby bones. Well, 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:16.719 we had to go up and take bats out of 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.360 I don't like that. They're cute for the most part. Yeah, 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:21.520 they are not in the face, not when you get 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.600 close to them. No, they're not. That's when they're really 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.200 I had one literally right here, right up, right up 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:31.120 closest to Yeah, you get some sugars, would you go? 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:39.880 Fund m M. I think that's mostly what I have here. 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.000 Eddie's wondering why the planet hates him so much? Who 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.960 has Eddie been complaining to you? Why the planet hates 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.400 him so? The planet? Yes? Okay? Which is Earth? And 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.400 just feel like everything's like, you know, negative force is 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.800 happening in my way. Why what's happening? It's just I 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.239 guess when it rains it pours or something or whatever. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.760 But all my appliances have broken. Every single clients is broken. 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.240 The last one I just had to replace was my dishwasher. 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.159 I have my water heater's gone out. Both my washer 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.280 and dryer went out, and lastly my my dishwasher went 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.160 out and we just got to replace. And I'm like why, Like, 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.560 what did I do? But then my wife reminded me. 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.520 He's like, we've lived in this house for five years 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.480 and nothing has broken. So take that. And I don't 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.880 think I'd rather it happens a little spread out, because 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:25.400 when you get hit with that big bill like that 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.039 of everything at once, it sucks. And now in the 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:29.920 heat of summer, I'm like, great, what's happening next my 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.600 air conditioner, Well, you can't play the next game. But 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.719 I feel like that's happening because that's the way everything 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:41.920 crumbled because you keep thinking that way stuff. I'm joking. 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:46.520 I know he didn't manifest his dish a secret. No 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.279 I didn't, but you could, just, like, for your well being, 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.280 just think more positively about it. That's what my wife says. 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.560 That's what positive thinking does for me. It doesn't really 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.680 affect any outcome, but it helps me feel better. When 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.560 I feel better, I perform better. I personally don't think 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.800 there's some cosmic reaction to my positivity and my thoughts 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.320 on how I'm going to perform correct I don't think 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.200 I see to go I'm gonna do good, that I'm 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.360 literally going to affect something bigger than me to do good. 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.520 I don't think that, but I do think my positive 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.680 thoughts help me feel better. And when I feel better 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.320 or looser or more prepared, or I've got my nerves 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:29.000 controlled a bit, I actually perform better. So when people 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.080 go feel positive manifest great things. I don't believe in 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.640 the manifestation of anything because of positive thoughts, but I 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.600 do believe in the practical thinking of when I do 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.920 think positive about something or I see something positive happening 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.880 because of something I'm about to do, that actually one 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:51.800 percent helps me physically, mentally, emotionally to where I foo 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:56.040 do perform better. So yeah, don't and by performing you 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.560 mean like live your life whatever the situation is. If 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:02.200 it's doing this shows when I propose to Caitlin, if 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.560 it's making sure that I'm trying to be a better 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:10.320 fiance slash about to be husband with what I'm prioritizing, 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.880 if it's playing golf, yeah, it's everything. I do. Try 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.320 to keep a positive outlook, even though it's a struggle 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:20.200 for me at times, because I know that a negane 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.120 was gonna hurt me, for sure, A positive one not 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.160 gonna hurt me. Who knows if it's really gonna help me. 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.200 But I ain't gonna hurt me, and I've already won 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.960 by not penalizing myself. But I do think me visualizing 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.760 me going on the stage at the Opery and doing it. 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:37.040 I had to do a seventeen minute set unprepared two 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.920 weeks ago because I told Jariba's wardrobe she's gonna get 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.840 a wardrobe change. So I was just up there. They 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.559 say it's five minutes. I'm now seventeen minutes into doing comedy. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:47.880 I don't have that much new material because I've done 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.400 no writing. But I was like, you know what, I'm 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:53.760 I'm freaking killed this. It didn't drag me down because 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.520 it wasn't like, oh this is gonna suck and it 0:08:55.600 --> 0:09:00.400 might help me and physically I felt better because of it. Anyway, 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:02.720 that's the next book. It's really not I'm not writing 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.080 another book. You know what I did, though, is I 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.800 wrote essays for a lot of the episodes when I 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.120 came back from breaking Bobby bones. Oh that's cool, like memoirs. 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.560 What do you mean we're essays for? What about my 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.480 experience and what I learned and what happened, and I 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:16.880 never thought I would do anything with them, and I 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.080 still don't, and I didn't do all of the episodes, 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.240 and then after a point I was like, I don't 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.960 think this is that interesting, but I did write them. 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.559 I'm just kind of searching right now because I listen. 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:32.559 I wrote Bare Bones, my first book, and didn't think 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.280 I was going to write a successful book. You know, 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.280 I've told the story before that when I went and 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.280 was pitching a book, I was pitching a kid's book 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.320 because Eddie and I had just done the Raging Kittiot's 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.160 album and wrote a bunch of kids songs, and I 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.880 was like, this thing did well, I'm gonna write a 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:51.560 kid's book, this right up my alley, and so wrote it. 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.400 Nobody wanted it, nobody wanted the concept of it. And 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.719 so I'd been to all these meetings. Everybody said no. 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.600 Last meeting I went to was the biggest company, HarperCollins, 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.240 who I nude and wannything to do with me because 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.040 they were too big, and everybody, even the little ones 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:04.920 that said no. And so I go to this and 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:06.880 I'm like, hey, ba ba, and the person's like, hey, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.000 tell me, they're looking at Wikipedia seeing my life story. 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:11.320 I tell them my life story. They're like, hey, we 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:12.880 think that could be a book. I'm like, nobody's gonna 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.040 buy that book. Nobody cares that much about me. Maybe 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.480 they put me on fifteen minutes in the morning because 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.160 we're talking about something funny, you know, But then no 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.880 one's going to care about my life story. This is 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.600 what I was feeling at the time. And so what 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.720 they do is they offer you an advance to write 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.560 a book. And the advance was thousands of dollars, and 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:34.040 I was like, I can't. I said, I'm not against 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.560 writing the book, but I'm not gonna take any money 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.000 for it because I don't know that it's gonna be interesting. 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.240 I don't know that you're gonna think it's good, and 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.000 I cannot take your money if I don't think what 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.680 I'm doing is worth that money. And so they said, okay, 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.280 I said, how about I write half of the book 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.760 and you guys can read it, read the essays, and 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.960 if you think it's good, I'll then take your money. 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.679 But I won't until then. And it wasn't a huge advance, 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.440 was a pretty big advance and they were like great. 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.160 So I spent three months writing essay after essay, because 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:05.839 that's all that book was with me writing essays, and 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.360 my editor strung them together in a really wonderful way. 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.199 So I'm writing all these stories about my life and 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.640 what I've learned and who I learned it from. And 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.079 I sent them half of it and I hear from 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.720 like a month and I was like, well, fun experiment, 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.280 not afraid to fail. Set it off, sucked, It wasn't 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.040 that good. When I wrote it, I just again just 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:24.520 sat there. I felt that I'm a heart. It wasn't 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:29.240 that good type tip type, tip type. And so like 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.320 a month later, we get a call there, Hey, let's go. 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.440 We love it. Keep writing. You want to check. And 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.000 I was like, you're gonna tell me you think what 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.160 I'm about to do is worth that check you're gonna 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.080 give me? And they say yeah. I said, okay, I'm in. 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.240 I personally don't see what you guys see in it, 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.040 but if you like it, I want to tell my 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:49.719 story because I think I can help. I think I 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.160 can be representation for other people that come from similar 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.920 backgrounds and circumstances. So let's do it. So I take 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:56.679 the check. By the way, I had to give percentages 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:01.559 to everybody agents manager book I got like a Nickel's work. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.160 That's how it works. And so I write the book 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.280 and I finish it, and I sent it off and 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.600 I'm a bit embarrassed of it. It's called Bare Bones. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.760 I'm embarrassed of the book because I'm like, it is 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.280 not good, and I'm gonna I'm gonna have promote it. 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.120 I promote anything that I do because I'm proud of 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:16.600 the stuff that I do. But I said, but this 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.360 is the one time I think, maybe this isn't it. 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.120 And I'm starting to feel kind of weird and ashamed 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.439 that I didn't put and embarrassed at some of the 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.120 stuff in there. Not because I was embarrassed of it, 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:27.760 because I thought people were gonna feel bad for me, 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:29.600 and I don't people feel bad for me. I wanted 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:34.840 them to understand, or again see representation in some way 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.320 throughout the different stories of my life how I grew 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.960 up in them. Because not everybody's gonna understand this book. 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.040 Not everybody's gonna feel like Bare Bones is for them. 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:47.320 It's moderately funny, it's extremely personal. There were some stories 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:48.520 in there that I was like, man, this is tough 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.760 to write, especially when it came to my family and upbringing. 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.760 And so it's I'm doing book promo like crazy, and 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.599 I wasn't really promoting the book. I was promoting the 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.760 fact that I was just out to see people would 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:01.880 go and meet three four hours at a time, Lines 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:03.720 would be there. I was, I cannot believe Lines are 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.959 here to meet me. Let's sign books. But I wasn't like, 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.720 this book is so good? Read it not once? First 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:13.120 week it launched as a best seller, and I'm like, 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:17.120 are you kid? I remember going? Are you sure? It 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.160 was a New York Times Bestseller number one? New York 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.720 Times Bestseller number one, And I was like, I cannot 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.360 believe this. And it was there again the next week, 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:25.960 and there again the next week, and they do a 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.600 list sometimes per month, and it was on for four weeks. 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:32.440 It was a best seller. I'm in shock, going I 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.719 cannot believe. But then it also gave me a bit 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:38.040 of confidence at the same time, because again, when I 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:43.440 do something, I usually hate it until I'm convinced it's 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:47.199 not hate a bull. I'm very self loathing for I'm 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.240 getting better at it. But most of my life, I 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:53.120 do not like I haven't liked me. I'm getting better 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:57.199 at that, so writes the first book. That's it. I'm done. 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.520 I'm Mark Twain one time, I'm Chumbawamba, I'm a one 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.720 hit wonder. I'm out, I'm lou Bega. Insert the one 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.960 hit wonder, I'm Billy Gilman and I'm okay with that 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.280 because I knew that I got lucky right in that book. 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:17.559 I knew that the stars can't deligned. People related listeners 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.200 had my back, like I try to have theirs. They 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.240 bought that book. Barebones was number one for four weeks, 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.520 and I was so pumped with it. That was it. 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:28.360 No more books? The end out told him, no more books. 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.600 They're like, but let us give you it. I checked 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.280 three times for another book. I said, I don't have 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:39.080 another book. They said four times. I said I don't 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:43.920 have another book. They said, okay, we'll check in a 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.920 few months. A year goes by. Hey, because Bare Bones 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:53.480 is still selling. Can't believe it. Bare Bones is selling 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.400 other the people are buying the book. Rights for other 0:14:56.400 --> 0:15:00.520 countries are printing it. My mind is blown. They're like, 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.920 remember that Ted check we did five times? Oh, I 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.720 don't have another book because I didn't want to waste 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.840 everybody's time. I didn't want to protoch something I didn't 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.720 believe in. I said, no more books. I didn't sign 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:16.680 a multi book deal, and so I don't know. It's 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.360 been a year and a half or so. They'd been like, hey, 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:23.600 started another book. So I did a Ted talk and 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:25.280 I got all Mike de and I was like, hey, 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.640 here's my idea, and Mike Dey can draw pictures. And 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.080 I was like, I want to do this. We draw 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:31.760 the pictures for me as I'm speaking about. And I 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.120 did a talk called winning by Losing, and it was 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.760 an eight minute talk. It's on YouTube. It's not my 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.160 best work, but it's pretty good. I give it a seven. 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:44.440 A shirt's a little too big. I look at it. 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.560 I cringe because I share. It's a little it's so 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:52.640 I do this Ted talk and but I loved the 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.720 message that I was sharing and that you want to 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:57.960 be a winner, you gotta go through the crap first, 0:15:58.000 --> 0:15:59.880 and a lot of that's losing, Like you just are 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:01.560 good at you don't just don't wake up and be 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.320 good at something that's worth being good at. And if 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.560 you do if you want to be great, same thing. 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.280 It's about the work. So I did this Ted talk 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:13.760 call Winning by Losing, went over pretty well. Again, didn't 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:15.840 feel like it was my best work, got some laughs. 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.560 There's you know, I had a technical issue with my headset. 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.560 As I was doing it. I had to like talk 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.600 into it like it was a whole Things broke while 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:25.720 I was doing in perfect meat fashion, perfect people. Things 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:29.440 broke while I was doing my performance. And so I 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.360 finished the talk. They come back and they're like, hey, 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.000 we'd like you to write a book. Do you have 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.200 anything else about your life? I said no, but I 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.600 do have like a concept that just came out of 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.000 mind that I would like to spend some time writing 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.480 on before we even talk about another book. And they 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:43.480 were like, okay, what is it. I was like, I 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:44.640 don't want to tell you yet. First of all, I 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.840 don't know who's gonna steal my idea. Second of all, 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:48.960 I didn't know if it was good enough. So I 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:52.160 wrote fail until you don't. Fire Grinder Pete didn't come 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.200 on till way later, but I wrote fail until you 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.240 don't because of that Ted talk and what I'd written 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.320 there in that little eight minute deal and I went 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.360 and talked to people like Chris Stapleton and it was like, hey, 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.280 he's like he's like it sucked for a long time 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.320 because everybody thinks I'm Chris stabled in the big music 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:10.359 star but years and years of not succeeding. Talked to 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.399 Governor of Arkansas. I talked to Charlemagne the God and 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.879 radio I talked to. I found all these successful people 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.680 that in their mind they're not you're quote unquote a 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.080 successful person because they spend all this time not being successful, 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.879 like they recently got this success. But that's all the 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:27.840 people have seen because we only see success. We don't 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.639 see the people under the under the water trying to 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:36.040 swim up to air. So I wrote that book, turned 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.199 it in felt the same way. This is a disaster, 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.520 and I tell you that who I don't know if 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.639 I told him this, but I've never actually said this 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:44.520 on the air. There was one person because I put 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:46.080 the book out and then I just wait for people 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.120 to bash it with anything I do. I just wait 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:51.120 for people to bash it. I'm like, ah, great, how 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.040 what's going to happen now? What's Twitter gonna say? What's 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:56.080 redd It gonna say? And I got a message from 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:57.879 somebody I didn't really expect to read the book. And 0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:59.680 he had read the book the second day it was out, 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.160 and he was like, hey, man, really wasn't the book 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:04.960 was affecting the book to be that good? He goes, 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:08.360 but like, I see you almost every day. Like I'm 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.159 taking a lot from this because it wasn't just about me. 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:13.000 It's about others too. He goes, this is a great book. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.920 And his name is Zach Massey used to shoot pictures 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.760 and digital here works for Luke Coombs now and like 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.679 I remember reading that on an airplane and going he 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.080 definitely didn't have to send that. You could have sent nothing. 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.640 He doesn't need anything from me, and going, maybe this 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:29.480 book is okay. And then there's the best seller for 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:35.000 a while. But all that to say that, how why 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.439 did I started this whole thing? Uh? Edie's was broken 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.520 and he was thinking negatively about it. Yeah, I don't 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.160 remember what happened here. I think you're talking about like 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.840 another book. You're like, why I can write a book 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.120 about No? Yeah, I got I do have an ending. Sorry, 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.879 I got so lost in this story or the journals. Oh, 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.360 I got like eight things to say that Okay, all 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:58.520 that to say, I'm always looking for something to write 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:03.080 that I can control back in a way I don't think, 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:04.880 and I didn't think they were contributing back. I may 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.080 put them there's a B Team newsletter. I mean put 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:09.480 them there, but I don't feel I'm never going to 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.639 sell something that I think isn't something that you would 0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:14.320 like or have a chance to look at and see 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.080 if you would like I am. There's a kid's book 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.399 that because it's the same company, it'll come out in 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:21.359 twenty twenty two. I've already done it. It's done, it's 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.600
