1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: All right away. This episode ten and the Bobby cast

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, saved our biggest guest that's far

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: for episode ten. We didn't know if we'd make it

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: this far, so we celebrated and co hosted the Bobby

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: Gone Show. Amy, it's here today. Hello. Okay, it's weird.

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: What I don't know? So Ammy's here and I figured

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: we will just kind of talk about you. And Amy

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: has her own podcast to which we'll talk about a bit. Um.

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: That's why she was begging to come on the show

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: so she could promote it and no begging and Uh, Mike,

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: you can kick it off here. Uh, it's Amy. Now.

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: We do a show together every day for five hours

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: a day of sitting basically this close, so today's dynamic

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: will be slightly different. Um, but I'll go ahead and

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: we'll start with you, Mike, Mike d Our, producer, go ahead.

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: Question one, When you first met Amy, what wasn't it

17
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: about her that kind of stood out to that, like

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: you had to have her on the show. I think

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: that she was unapologetic, but not in the way that

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: most times people say that where they come across as

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: crass or rude. She was just unapologetic. At she was

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: clumsy and nice and Christian and just authentic, but you know,

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: just she just was who she was and that was it.

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that was kind of the same

25
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: thing that today is still like the reason that I

26
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: enjoyed being around her, So that still hadn't changed. We

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: were on flying this past weekend. We were I heard

28
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: festival and I guess Amy was having a moment or

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: something and she was like, I just needed you to

30
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: fill my cup up and I was like, are you

31
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: talking about and so but well, things have changed a lot. Yeah,

32
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: that changed a lot and a lot. This is fittingly

33
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: the tenth episode of your podcast. We've been together. I

34
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: mean we've been friends longer, but how long we've been

35
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: doing the show together over ten years, but I'm in

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: my tenth going on eleventh year. But it's a long time.

37
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: So I mean a lot has changed for both of us.

38
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that in a way like you've changed,

39
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: but it's just you've gotten older, our lives have shifted.

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: You've got so much more going on. And we used

41
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: to be I think together a lot more or even

42
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: travel a lot more, and we were so inseparable that

43
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: people thought we had an affair forever. I mean it

44
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: still comes up all the time. Oh no, I mean

45
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't. So I mean if it does, it's so nothing.

46
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: We don't I don't even see it, just like like

47
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: what crazy, I don't even see it. But it wasn't

48
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: all the time our first years of being together, it

49
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: was all the thing. And I wrote in my book,

50
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: but nothing has ever happened with us like ever and forever.

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: Even people in our building will be like, oh, for

52
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: sure they're doing it. But we were just really really

53
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: really close all the time. And um, I think a

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: lot of that was we were young, we didn't have

55
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: a lot of other things going on. Um, I met

56
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: Amy well the first time, col Verse. Yeah, I feel

57
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: like I've told the story a lot. But I was

58
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: at a restaurant and she came up and so, um,

59
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: to just answer your question when we can go back around,

60
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, it's just unapologetic, just she is who

61
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: she is. And again, yeah, it was good to actually

62
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: spend quality time whereas you and I get to talk,

63
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: Amy and I get to talk about ourselves every day

64
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: we do. But we're sitting in a room together in

65
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: my office where we have a side studio and we're

66
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: kind of commercials and we're going quick and it's little

67
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: comments and we we text all the time, but again

68
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: we used to spend, which for you was like, that's

69
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: like the thing that Amy gets on me for is

70
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: that and not in a bad way, and that where

71
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: she has grown in her personal life with a husband

72
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: and about to have two kids, and lots of what

73
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: I've grown in my professional life. I'm not backing on

74
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: that a little bit. You're super busy. So it goes

75
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: from you know, I was doing the radio show, to

76
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: uh turn the radio show and then turn it into

77
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: a national radio show, and turning that national radio show

78
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: and shifting and moving the whole show over from there.

79
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: Starting the Raging Idiots is just a two person parody band.

80
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: It's turned into record deal books. Um, so it's just

81
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things which has required a lot of

82
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: people to help me because I can't do it all

83
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: by myself from outside of the building. So like I

84
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: have like I call my babysitter. I have a manager

85
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: now and and I'll admit some of that, some of

86
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: that I struggled with a little bit, I think any

87
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: not because I'm not proud of you or anything. But

88
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: I think you know, we started out, We're in one market.

89
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: We managed ourselves like there was nobody. Everything was just

90
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: like us, which I think sometimes when all of this

91
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: stuff started to change the last few years, whereas I

92
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: used to be able to come to you for stuff,

93
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: you almost didn't even know your own schedule, and rightfully,

94
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: so it's nut. So so I had a problem like

95
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: embracing the fact that I had to reach out to

96
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: other people because I'm like, oh no, no, I've been

97
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: friends and I know. So I was like you and

98
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: now now it's just easier, and now I'm like, I

99
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: love it. I love that other people like know everything

100
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: because then I can get an answer and it's legit

101
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: and it's right and it's quick because he doesn't know

102
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: it certainly. So, um, now I've embraced it. I don't

103
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: know my schedule day to day most of the time.

104
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: I just know that it's there's rarely fifteen minutes. We'll

105
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: call it growing pains. Um that's been the weirdest thing

106
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: for I think us as a team, growing pains. And

107
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: Amy has been my absolutely closest friend for the past

108
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: ten years, like overall, my closest friend and um, but yeah,

109
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: the growing pains have been. But listen, you have gotten married.

110
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm not don't take this. It's not personal saying on

111
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: the other side of it. Um, it's not like because

112
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: we should just go hang out and have dinner and

113
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: eat lunch, and but now you have weekends, you're off

114
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: in Haiti, or you're dealing with kids stuff or and

115
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: that's been. That's been a lot, that's been heavy. That's been.

116
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: I think once they get here, I feel like some

117
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: of you will resume back to normal. I feel like

118
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: a lot of it's going to change. My normal will

119
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: be different. But I feel like right now I'm in

120
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: such a place where like half of my heart is

121
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: here and half of it's in Haiti, So I don't

122
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: really feel complete. We started together on the same page

123
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: and we have grown together very much so, but we've

124
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: also kind of spread in different ways. So and she

125
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 1: just gets mad that she has to go to Morean

126
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, Bobby Free, I'm not mad anymore.

127
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: I like it. Now I'll be like, I don't know.

128
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: At the beginning, I was like, no, I don't go

129
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: through people, I go through you. And then now I

130
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't know the and then they would best. He would

131
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: be so busy he wouldn't know. And then now I'm like,

132
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: bring on the people. It has been a change. But

133
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: if I didn't have these people like looking over my career,

134
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to manage it, like tour managers

135
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: and booking and totally I get it. I get it.

136
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: That's one. Yes, um, that that is what drew me

137
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: to her. Do you want to know? Dremmy to Bobby, Yeah,

138
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I didn't even know he was

139
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: gonna offer me really a job on the radio. I

140
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: didn't offer a job for a long time. And not

141
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: to repeat things that we've said over and over again,

142
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: but I did not offer Amy the job first, like

143
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: I only want to hire my friends or people that

144
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with. And I met Amy at Culver's and

145
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: we got to know each other for like six or

146
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: seven months, and we were friends and I was just

147
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: making sure that and I had started dating my husband

148
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: right at the same time. But then Bobby and I

149
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: would like hang out and I would be like, I

150
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, I'm gonna go to dinner. And

151
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: the one time we went to the movies and then

152
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: went saw cars. Yeah, that was that came out. And

153
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: then oh gosh, one time I was on the phone

154
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: with my head. Well he wasn't my husband yet. We

155
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: were just dating, like newly dating, don't we weren't even Yeah,

156
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 1: we weren't engaged because we got engaged shortly after newly dating.

157
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: And I called my husband Bobby at the time, boyfriend

158
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: or whatever. And it was like because Bobby and I

159
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: were spending so much time together and then out of nowhere,

160
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: I just he were on the phone and I just said, oh, Bob, okay, Bobby,

161
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: and I mean, I mean, that's not your name, but

162
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: that's how much time we were spending together. And then

163
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: one night we went to dinner and You're like, I'm

164
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: here to offer you a job. Yeah, And so that

165
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: was what happened, and there we are, all right, what

166
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: are you doing? And it went down for some reason. Um, alright,

167
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: Mike give another question going, yeah, well, Amy, you never

168
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: did radio before, so like, did Bobby train you? And

169
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: when you started? How was that process? No? Okay, okay, okay, okay,

170
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: well I take that back. Yes, everything I know today

171
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: is that is worth anything in radio I have learned

172
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: from Bobby. So yes, but I wouldn't say there was

173
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: like this radio boot camp. I feel like what Bobby

174
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: was doing when he selected friends to join him was

175
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: he wanted us to be us. He didn't want training

176
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: or you toll. Yeah, it's rough because we're not like

177
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: I was, speech impediment. Um, it's not even just status

178
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: that even on my side, I don't know anything other

179
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: than what I've done. I haven't. No one taught me

180
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: how to do a morning show. They just took a

181
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: year old kids said Okay, here's the show, and so

182
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: I started doing it. No one taught me how to

183
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: do it, and then I had brought people on. No

184
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 1: one taught anyone had to do anything. So that's why

185
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: the show sounds so oddly rough and fantastic at the

186
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: same time. In different times, it could be a terrible show,

187
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: could be a great show. Um, what what I don't understand?

188
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: What do you to me? You never answered, Oh, we

189
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: moved on. But I was just thinking. I didn't. I wasn't.

190
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: I just I thought you were funny. I mean, and

191
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: when you offered me a job in radio, of course

192
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: I thought that was fun and I was like years old.

193
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: I had a nice and deep answer Hers was like,

194
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: you offered me a job? What else might so how

195
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: would you say? Yes? Friendship has changed over the years

196
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: with you know, everything kind of getting on a you know,

197
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: the show is getting on a bigger scale, and you

198
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: guys don't like, are you a closer now or is

199
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: it I put one more pressure on Amy than anybody

200
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: else on the show, like significantly? Oh yeah, of course,

201
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: Like without Amy first there, I mean, there's no show.

202
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: Well that's that's not true. And I've told her, I've

203
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: told I heard that privately twenty times that without Amy

204
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: the show just isn't a sick excess. And so I

205
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: know that I know where my bread is buttered when

206
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: we do a radio show, and she makes me a

207
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: better radio personality, and it makes me a better person,

208
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: and those two things go together because I try to

209
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: be a better person. And if i'm I mean I

210
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: am who I am on the radio to Bobby is

211
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: some like rare genius that knows what's gonna work and

212
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: what's gonna sound good. Now. Does everything began out? No,

213
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: But he can he can take what we submit to

214
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: talk about and compile and he can know like, Okay,

215
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: this is gonna be interesting to talk about like I

216
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: can think so many things are awesome to talk about,

217
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: but he just kind of he just he just knows.

218
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: He makes it work. So for you to say that

219
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: it wouldn't exist being what it is without me, wouldn't you?

220
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: You are the the puppet master, I guess if you will,

221
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: and you do it well, and you've led well in

222
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: that area of of the thing. That too is no

223
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: one on the show knows what we're gonna talk about

224
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: and were talking about, like, nobody knows what we're going

225
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: to talk about it. Ray has a bay idea because

226
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: I'll send him audio to put in, but nobody on

227
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: the entire show knows what I'm gonna talk about. It's

228
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: super organic because I don't want anyone having any idea

229
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: or having to try to come up with some joke,

230
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: because that's not the point of the show. It's not

231
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: to be the zany let's come up with jokes morning show.

232
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: It's just to live lives. So I just want to

233
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: try to find the best people possible. Um, it's been

234
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: that way since day one. It kept it that way,

235
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: and so many people think, like do you have prep

236
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: meetings before or after you talk about the next day show?

237
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: And we just we just don't. And it's sometimes people

238
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: in radio when they hear that we don't do that,

239
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: they get weird looks. But again, since I don't know radio,

240
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: even though I've been a radio ten years, I'm like,

241
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: why are you giving me weird looks? This is what

242
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: we this is radio, And they're like, no, that's not

243
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: it's not how most people do it exact and some

244
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: people do it their way really well. But I would

245
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: have found a bunch of people that weren't good at radio.

246
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: I was. I wasn't good radio. Which you found your friends?

247
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: Which was the original question. Sometimes we do tour, but

248
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: that was the original question about our friendship. But I

249
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: think I think that as it's similar to the show,

250
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: there's been some like like we've just grown, Like you're busier,

251
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: you're you're I think you've maxed out at I was

252
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: about to go deep here, but we are still as

253
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: close as we were. Um you could you only there's

254
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: a certain amount of rope, right that's you're able to give,

255
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: and I've I was given that a long time ago,

256
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: and I think I still have it well. I mean,

257
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: I mean I'm saying it's the longest or anything you

258
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: have the longest for a couple of reasons. One, we've

259
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: been together forever too, I trust you. I mean we've

260
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: been to a lot together, like a lot, and you've

261
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: always been there for me, Like there are things always

262
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: be there for me. You' all have no idea. I

263
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: could even get an emotional saying it, because there are

264
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: things that Bobby has done for me and my family

265
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: that like, you'll have no idea. You have no idea.

266
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: So that friendship stuff like there's because of you know,

267
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: Bobby's upbringing and things. We all have baggage, but because

268
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: of some of yours, Like he only has a that

269
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: so long, like that rope is so long, and I

270
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: feel like I got that a long time ago and

271
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: I feel like I still have it. So just do

272
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: I still feel like our friendship is the same, Yes,

273
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: But the aspects that are different are just that, um,

274
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: your professional life, your career is just you know, going

275
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: off in ninety different directions, which I love because I'm

276
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: your friend. I want that for you because I know

277
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: that's that's your heart's desire. And I but sometimes because

278
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: life is like that, you know, you don't get as

279
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: much time with people, and my life is different too,

280
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter, Like Bobby would be there for

281
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: me in a second, and I think the same speaks

282
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, for you, I think that we've been

283
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: together a long time, we've we are friends, has been

284
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: tested a bunch, and we both had really you know,

285
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: both of our moms died and we were both there

286
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: for each other a hardcore. I think for us that

287
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: was a really we were already there. But I think

288
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: for us that just kind of sewed up the fact

289
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: that forever, even if we don't talk for three years

290
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: or seven years, that it would be like one phone call.

291
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter where you are, what you need. It's

292
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: like when my mom, my mom died and I was

293
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: on the air, and um, and I don't even don't

294
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: Maybe he's gonna get me emotional my mom. I was

295
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: on the air and I got a phone call and

296
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: my mom died while I was on the air, and um,

297
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: it was my sister's and my mamma died and I

298
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: was in her forties and obviously, um, she had struggled

299
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: drugs and alcohol forever, and so I couldn't leave. We

300
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: had just started syndicating the show, and there was there

301
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: was nothing I could do, and I was able to,

302
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: and I still am able to separate things. It's unhealthy

303
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: how I can separate things. And it it helps me

304
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: in ways, but at times it's very unhealthy. And I said, hey,

305
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: I told Amy, I said, listen, I just got a

306
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: call for my sister. My mom just died. And and

307
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, okay, we're going to commercial. Show is done.

308
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: It's like you or something. And then Bobby's like, nope,

309
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: We're doing the next break and we go back on

310
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: air and we talked as if like nothing. I mean,

311
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't talk, Lunchbox can talk. Bobby carries on like

312
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: Bobby is in a zone. I mean, obviously it was

313
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: probably one of the I get that you're saying you

314
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: can compartmentalize like no other, but that had to be

315
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: one of the hardest things you've ever done. It just

316
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: was what happen to be done. So I did. This

317
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: is what happened. There was an hour and twenty minutes

318
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: the show left. I went on to the hour and

319
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of the show. Is Amy said in the

320
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: corner and cried the whole time. And because I couldn't,

321
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: she did, and the whole you know, and you know,

322
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: I went home to care of the arrangement to funeral.

323
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: Amy was there, I mean they everyone was there next day,

324
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean boom, I mean I was back on the air.

325
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: But from you, he was like back at work. I

326
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: mean even at the funeral. We were like, Bobby, just

327
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: take your time, like do what you need to do here,

328
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: and you just were like, I think the best thing

329
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: for me is just to get back to work. And

330
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: it was and that's different than you. And you know,

331
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: Amy's mom struggled and she died of cancer and after

332
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: a long about and of just a roller coaster of

333
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: two years of sadness and happiness and uh, every feeling

334
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: you could possibly have. And your mom was so great

335
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: to me and for me, it was it wasn't about

336
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: the show with Amy. I told Ammy go away, like

337
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: just go away. And there was so many times I

338
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: did the show but people wouldn't even know, Like I

339
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: would do the show from Austin or my mom was

340
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: at Indie Anderson and Houston and my heart has studios there,

341
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: and so Bobby would let me go do the show

342
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: and I would spend the night at the hospital and

343
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: I'd wake up at you know, three or four in

344
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: the morning there and I'd go to the Houston station.

345
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm drive around Houston and the all night, not knowing

346
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: where I was going, and the people in Houston let

347
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: me in like yeah, he would be I don't. And

348
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: there would be some days that I absolutely would not.

349
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: Then there would be days where I just felt like, Okay,

350
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: I need to keep working to kind of have some

351
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: normalcy and you know, break up the monotony at the

352
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: hospital and stuff. And I was just so grateful for that,

353
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: because no there were people at the hospital that I

354
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: would meet and I would come back from doing the

355
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: radio show like thinking, you know if I would be thinking,

356
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: you know something, feeling sorry for myself or something, and

357
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: then I would encounter someone in the waiting room who

358
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: had a loved one that had cancer and they like

359
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: had to quit their job to be there every day.

360
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: They had to quit and like with with you and

361
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, are like just you you, that was never

362
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: even an option. You were like family first, and that's

363
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: the rolling out to still take care of you first.

364
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: Because of that, you being able to be weed it.

365
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: We're not us and so there's a time to I

366
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: think of back to when I think I just casually,

367
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: like said the Bobby I don't even know. I know,

368
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: you know the story. It's so stupid, but um, I

369
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: said something like my mom was bored in the waiting

370
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: room one day and I was like, SU really wants

371
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: an iPad. And I like showed up at worked the

372
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: next day and Bobby had got my mom and iPad.

373
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: And it's not like we couldn't have just I mean,

374
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: my mom could have gotten and it's not it's not

375
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: the I thought that it was an iPad. It was

376
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: just like I said that, and you listened and you heard,

377
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: and then you just show you just randomly had it

378
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: sent to her something or I showed it, but we're

379
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: going to stay or somehow an iPad appeared and like

380
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: we had it was like, you know, she would entertain

381
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: herself for hours at the hospital with the with that iPad,

382
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: like I won't ever that's like a memory I'll never

383
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: forget because it's like something I just said so casually,

384
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: and then the next day you had it. And then

385
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: she got to play with an iPad basically for like

386
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: two years, you know, while she sat up there and

387
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: she played her studio goo or whatever you play on iPad.

388
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: And then we do those funny the photo booth, we

389
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: take those funny pictures. Yeah, before Snapchat there was photo

390
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: boot filters. But anyway, that was a that was a

391
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: moment where I mean, that's that's the Bobby that I

392
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean some of that stuff may or

393
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: may not have come up on air, and I don't

394
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: even remember certain things that we always talk about. But

395
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: like your hands down, you were always like, do what

396
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: you gotta do, do what you gotta do. And I

397
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: think that's what will always even if we're not in

398
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: the same spot, because who knows what happening a year

399
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: or three years, will always like, like I said on

400
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: the air, I think today or yesterday I was making

401
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: fun of you just because you were like, oh I

402
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: got my cup full of Bobby. I was like, I mean, yeah,

403
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: we didn't. You've been my closest friend for ten years,

404
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: so there. So yes, there's the answer to that question. Boy.

405
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: It's like freaking um oprah in here go ahead. What

406
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: else you got? What's the best memory I'll have of

407
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: each other? Mm hmm the best memory? Man? Um, there's

408
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: some we do it just it's the best hand sounds,

409
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: the thing you say. I just wanted. Yeah, I guess

410
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: I mnna have to go the first thing I think of,

411
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: because it's just just best. I mean, when you're together

412
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: with someone for ten years, Like the best I would

413
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: say it was probably Amy winning the Award for the

414
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: Grace for Females that make a Difference in Broadcasting and

415
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: I got to present her the award and watching her

416
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: just own it her because for a long time she's

417
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: always been Amy Bobby's sidekick. And over the last two years,

418
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: I've really tried to you'll, you'll always be Amy from

419
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: the show, but I've always but but with Amy, I've

420
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: always been like, hey, it's you gotta do you too?

421
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: You know I know what if this is me? Yeah

422
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: it is, but but may it's so strong. I'm not

423
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: the kind of guy that wants to hold Amy down.

424
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: And and so Amy getting up there and just and

425
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: owning the room and her mom being able to make

426
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: it out there while her mom was sick and getting

427
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: the award and um speaking eloquently with passionate emotion, and

428
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: I was just so proud of her, more of her

429
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: than actually for her, because it was like I'd watched

430
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: someone grow into this this role and she just deserved

431
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: it so much so for me, that was I mean,

432
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: that's my one of my favorite things. There are lots

433
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: of little dumb things, but I mean that's what comes

434
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: to mind, is like the first one. Now, well, then

435
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: I'll play by that rule and do the first thing

436
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: that popped into my head was Um, and mind's more recent,

437
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: although I could probably name so many more, but going

438
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: back to your high school with you when you spoke

439
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: at your high school graduation, Um, that was special. That

440
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: was a proud moment. And I think the fact that

441
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: there's still people at that school that were there when

442
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: he was there and listening to them tell stories about him, UM,

443
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: that's something I won't ever forget because I there's big

444
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: things for you. I know that, And I always picture

445
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: like you know what's in store for Bobby, like who knows?

446
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: But I mean, I just I know there's gonna be

447
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: big things. And that's that's one of those memories that

448
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: I had, Like walking down the hall with one of

449
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: his former teachers. That's like telling me stories of Bobby

450
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: in high school and then watching him give the high

451
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: school commencement speech. Um, I was just super proud of

452
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: him because you realize going to your town, great people,

453
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: wonderful place, but you realize when you get there that

454
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it was not easy probably for Bobby to

455
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: do what he did to be where he is today.

456
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: And um, I think if you achieve what I think

457
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: you will achieve in life, that's something I'm going to

458
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: always look back on and be like, I don't remember

459
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: walking the halls of his high school and hearing those

460
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: teachers tell me those things about you and how awesome

461
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: you were, and how there was a microphone it was

462
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: in Bobby's hand, yea. And if there was a girl,

463
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: she was not nearby, yeah, nowhere ye got to see it.

464
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: I couldn't well the first time I went. That was

465
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: the second time I gone. The first time I went

466
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: was for his mother's funeral. And that's what that was

467
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: when I first realized, like, okay, and then I feel

468
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: like even with the funeral, I knew there was no

469
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: way we were not going to be there, and I

470
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: knew deep down you were glad we were there, but

471
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: there was so there was hesitation and going because you're

472
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: so sometimes private about some stuff that it was like

473
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: we didn't that's the thing you think, Okay, you think

474
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: sometimes when people are trying to be there for you

475
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: and be a friend, that you're being a burden always right,

476
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: and that's just so not the case. So that was

477
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: my first time there to answer your question, Mike, and

478
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: I that's when I realized, like, okay, whoa like he

479
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: wasn't you know, sometimes people tell stories and you're like

480
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: they're probably act you know, you're just like stretching the

481
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: truth a little bit. Nope, Nope, I mean it was no, no,

482
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: no stoppul I mean nothing, nothing, There's nothing but nice people.

483
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean, like I love where I come. Yes, absolutely,

484
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: there's nothing there right like Dave had. I mean, yeah,

485
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: there's closed down down and it was not good then

486
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: and it's really you know they struggle now. So um

487
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think that's a good What else you got?

488
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: How much do you say? Like you guys have rubbed

489
00:25:54,520 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: off on each other as far as you like, not exaggerate.

490
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: And Amy has made me a better person, Like just

491
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: straight up, she has made me care more than I

492
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: think I am in a different I do how caring

493
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: about like like life stuff in general. You know, I

494
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: see how she wears her heart and her sleeping cares

495
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: openly and it doesn't make me as afraid to do

496
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: that because I care in different ways, in much more

497
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: private ways. I would rather do X and no one

498
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: know about it. Um. And it's not because I don't

499
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: like to be vulnerable. I think having a vulnerability to caring,

500
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: that that's Amy's thing. Like she's the most caring person

501
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: I've ever met, and she's super vulnerable and um, it's

502
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: it's a it's a quality that I don't have. And

503
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 1: I've been able to watch her do it and and

504
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: see her really passionate about things. Um. But that that's

505
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: what's rubbed off from her to me. Bobby is um

506
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: motivating and inspiring, like I wouldn't say like I I

507
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: never will. Clearly I didn't have aspirations for radio. It's

508
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: not like I. And by the way, we thought he

509
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: was leaving every year every year and was like yeah,

510
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: and it was like, hey, you when you leave it

511
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: into this year when your contracts up, well you know,

512
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: we'll find But she just kept staying around until finally

513
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: she was like, I guess I'm just gonna say, I

514
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: guess it's gonna be my career now. At one point

515
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: I turned to corner. I was like, Okay, this is

516
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: my career and to have someone like Bobby to to

517
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: be at the head of that, um, it just makes

518
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: you you just you feel like, okay, am I am?

519
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: I Am I doing enough? But then I have to

520
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: step back and realize, like I don't have the same

521
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: goals as Bobby. That doesn't matter. I just should still

522
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: want to strive to be good at what I do

523
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: or successful at what I do. It doesn't mean that

524
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: I have to keep doing, have to do more and

525
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: more and more and more. Like very is things I

526
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: guess you could say, but you're you're very very Uh,

527
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: you might be the most driven person that I know.

528
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: I should look at you instead of Mike when I

529
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: say that, you might be the most driven person that

530
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: I know. Um, And sometimes that that maybe you know,

531
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: like you say, a downfall because you're so focused on it.

532
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: But at the same time, for someone that looks up

533
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: to you like I do, in that level, I'm like, oh, man,

534
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: I could be taking things to another level. I mean,

535
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: he's even you're even motivating. And I know this is

536
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: gonna sound cheesy too, but I see how dedicated he

537
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: can be to things, Like he puts his mind to

538
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: something and it's happening and like me, I'm more like

539
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,719
Speaker 1: I put my mind to something and then it might

540
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: not happen tomorrow, you know, Like I like, I like,

541
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: I start things and I quit things, and I start

542
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: things that I quit things. And Bobby's like, I'm six

543
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: and thirty two days strong, like this is what I'm doing.

544
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: A control complex. I'm freaking out. No, I'm not even

545
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: talking about your weird o c D stuff. I'm talking

546
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: about It's like you haven't many times in my head

547
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: where I'm like, Okay, well Bobby can do this for

548
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: even if it's something you know, trivial or awesome. Still

549
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: he's he's like that, and he's uh again, always shown

550
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: me how to you listen? He listens, well, I need

551
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: to listen better. I do think of that, and that

552
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: that the iPad thing was one example. I could give more,

553
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: but he listens and he somehow, Mike, you've experienced that.

554
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: I know you have, because I know of instances where

555
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: Bobby's knows you're something in your life that's going on

556
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: and he just randomly, you know, it is like this

557
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: little Bobby angel, like this little like sprinkles for you know,

558
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: I know it's hard for you to your Bobby. But

559
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean that's something that I think of him, like

560
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: I need to listen better, Like Bobby, I need to

561
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: listen to what is going on with people and then

562
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: do something about it. And nobody ever has to know.

563
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: But he's he's You're good at that. He's good at that.

564
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: So you grew up You're born aware Austin St. David's Hospital,

565
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: and you grew up in Austin your whole life, same

566
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: house until I was eighteen, until I left for college.

567
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: And then when when I left for college, my mom

568
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: sold it. She didn't want to sell it when we

569
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: were because my dad left when I was eight, and

570
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: so I think she probably, you know, realistically, should have

571
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, sold it then and moved somewhere else. But um,

572
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: she didn't want to uproot us from our friends in

573
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: our neighborhood and our schools, and so we stayed till

574
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: I was eighteen, and then I sold it. So you

575
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: were there until eighteen year. Dad left when you were eight.

576
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: Did he stay close or did he move far? Originally

577
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: he moved to Midlands. Yeah, I mean, so I would

578
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: go like if I went to see him, I would fly, Um,

579
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, my mom would put me on an airplane

580
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: and I go see my dad for the again, and

581
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: I fly back and he was with my Oh gosh,

582
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: my family's stuff is So what's crazy is my dad

583
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: left when I was eight, but then he didn't get

584
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: married till I was eighteen, to the to the woman

585
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: that he was with, um, because my parents didn't get

586
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: divorced till I was eighteen either, So he left for

587
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: he left when I was eight years later, and it

588
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, it was a it was a it

589
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: was a monetary thing, but in my household, it was

590
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: also like my mom was willing to take him back

591
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: if he wanted to come back, and we waited for

592
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: a really long time. That never happened until like a

593
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: year before my mom died, my dad tried to start

594
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: dating her again. Do you think that was because of guilt? No?

595
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: I think well he got he had recently gotten divorced

596
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: from my stepmom, who was with basically since I was eight,

597
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: even though she wasn't my stepmom the entire time. And

598
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: then my dad's never been alone. He's been married four times.

599
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: I love my dad to death. This is I'm not

600
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: knocking my dad, this is just my my home life.

601
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: Like he just liked women and always younger women. Uh,

602
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: and got you know, my mom was the third wife,

603
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: and then you know, the fourth and then they separated.

604
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: And then I think my dad was suddenly like old

605
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: and he was like whoa, what what's happening in life?

606
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,959
Speaker 1: And then he had this like revelation he at this

607
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: moment and he was like the things that were always

608
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: important to him suddenly weren't. And then family more so

609
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: was I know, my dad always loved us, but other

610
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: he chased other things for sure. Um. And then uh,

611
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: he started like kind of courting, like kind of like

612
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: I wanted to hang out with my mom again. And

613
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: my Mom's like, oh my gosh, like I waited for

614
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: you for like twenty five years or something, and you're

615
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: gonna come to me when I'm like I got cancer.

616
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm busy, Like I don't have time. I

617
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: don't time for this right now, Like I'm got a

618
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: little bit going on. And so but at that time,

619
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: even though they didn't start you know, dating, um, my

620
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: dad stepped in and he became a caregiver alongside me

621
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: and my sister because because my mom was single, my

622
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: sister and I did all the hospital visits, We did everything.

623
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: And then when there was times because my sister was

624
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: four kids and I was living in North Carolina and

625
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: then Austin and then Nashville, and if I couldn't get back,

626
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: my dad would step up. And that's something I think

627
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: for my sister and I to to see your parents

628
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: come back sort of full circle in a way to

629
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: where your dad's back in and he's like, I got this,

630
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm here for you. All that was really special. And

631
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: then the last week of my mom, my mom's life,

632
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: she was she spent a few days in hospice at

633
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: the Center and my dad, UM, my sister and I

634
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: and my dad were the only people in the room

635
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: and there was tons of people in and out of

636
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: there all day long, but suddenly we were the only

637
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: ones in there, and my sister and I wrote around

638
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: the couch and we saw my dad go over to

639
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: my mom and start, you know, like brushing her hair.

640
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: And this was the day before she went unconscious, and

641
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: we didn't had no idea she was gonna lose consciousness

642
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: the next day. Um it was because of procedure we

643
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: tried to do, so we had no idea that was coming.

644
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: And my dad leaned over and asked my mom to

645
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: for forgiveness, and he had never done that, and all

646
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: ever since he left her for someone else, like, never

647
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: had said like, I'm sorry for doing that to you.

648
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: And my mom didn't have to have that. She had

649
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: forgiven him a long time ago. She didn't have to

650
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: have that. But that was another special thing, just part

651
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: of my upbringing, Like to be able to witness that,

652
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: to know is a kid like all you want is

653
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: for your dad to come back. That's all I ever wanted.

654
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: All I ever wanted was Dad, just come back, get

655
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: back together with mom, like she forgives you. It's fine.

656
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: And then you grow up and you realize you know

657
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: that's never gonna happen. And then to be able to

658
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: witness on your mom's deathbed her get what she always wanted,

659
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: which was just like I'm so sorry I did that

660
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: to you and and for my sister, and I had

661
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: a witness that was pretty amazing. You mentioned North Carolina.

662
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: I think one of the luckiest things for me was

663
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: Amy moved. She quit. We had a going away party,

664
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: and I was It was a terrible time for me

665
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: because I just lost who I said then and still

666
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: say now, is the best female on the radio, like

667
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: periods that I don't even know how that's possible about.

668
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: So and so we had a going away party at

669
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: Chewie's in Austin. It was like I was It was

670
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: like I was sad, and Amy was moving with her husband.

671
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: He was deployed. My contract was coming up, and they

672
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: wanted to keep me. I just started building this indication

673
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: company with my own money. I had a little bit

674
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: of leverage, and I said I will stay if you

675
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: will build a studio for Amy in North Carolina. And

676
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: they were at the concept of it wasn't real, not

677
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: real at all, because it was never something that was

678
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: on the table. And I remember going to Amy saying, hey,

679
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: I kind of got a bent over here. Like we

680
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: were number one and Austin for ten years, like when

681
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: we were just in Austin, and and that's where we

682
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: grew as a show. We were tripling people in ratings.

683
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: So I had leverage, and so I said, I've got

684
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: to keep Amy because if I lose Amy, I don't

685
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. And I, you know, I

686
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: said earlier, like I would be lost with that Amy

687
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: on the show. And so they built our studio in

688
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: our house for years, five years. Five years. She lived

689
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: in North Carolina from her house and she did the show.

690
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: Randy's never dropped a bit. She lived there and just

691
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: worked out of like a bedroom, right y'all. The first

692
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 1: the first two years, I did it in my attic

693
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: where it wasn't even finished out. My husband's sort of

694
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: like did a little bit of work on it to

695
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: rig it to make it work. But every morning, I

696
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: kid you not, I know, I went to the ceiling

697
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: and pulled down the little thing that you pulled out

698
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: out of the ceiling to climb up at a little

699
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: tiny ladder. And I would climb up, and then we

700
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: only have commercial breaks or songs for that matter, to

701
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: to use the restroom. And I would be up in

702
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: the attic and sometimes we'd be working and I'll be like,

703
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, And so I would tell I'll be

704
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: like if I'm not back, like calling nine one one,

705
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: She's like, because I fell through the attic and I'm

706
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 1: not going to make it back. So those were those

707
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: were crazy times. It used to be different for us too,

708
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: because we came so we started the show, and the

709
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: luxury of building a show from scratch and building a

710
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: show with your own money, which I was doing. Was

711
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: that we kind of do if we're rasy to do

712
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: if we wanted. So we're playing no songs, maybe one

713
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: song an hour. It was a it was a full

714
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 1: on talk show. Oh my gosh. Yeah, right, we played

715
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: like there was no in The ratings were never high.

716
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: The problem now is we're adding markets all the time,

717
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: and people are new, and there are some cities there like, guys,

718
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: if you guys would play no music, you're ready to

719
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: be so much higher. And there are some cities were like,

720
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: you need a couple more songs because the people here

721
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: don't know you yet, and people don't like new people.

722
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: So it's a weird balance. But we were a talk

723
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: show for eight years. We played no music. It's quite

724
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: the justument and so too when we came to Nashville,

725
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: which I had just moved back to Austin by the way. Yeah,

726
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: and the story about Amy was she had moved back

727
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: to Austin. We were pumped she moved back. I was

728
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: the only one that knew about the Nashville thing, and

729
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: for me it wasn't a big deal because we were

730
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: playing in the music anyway, So it wasn't like it

731
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: was a pop music to country music thing, and the

732
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: country music thing was easy, you know, that was the

733
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: easiest part of it all. It was actually just moving

734
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 1: homes and and friends and new people. But and there

735
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: never been a position like there is now. They're never

736
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 1: been a national country morning show. And so I couldn't

737
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: tell Amy, I can tell anybody. That's not a peace

738
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: paper that said you can't tell anybody. And so Amy's

739
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: buying a house. Yeah. I was so excited to be

740
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: back in Austin. I mean, I begged my house. He

741
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: got out of the Air Force after twelve years and

742
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: he's from Austin. I was like, can we please, we

743
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 1: got to move back to Austin. And he's like, oh,

744
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: both of our families they're like, that's crazy, we can't

745
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: go back to Austin. I'm like, well, we have to.

746
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 1: That's where that's where my job is. And you're a pilot,

747
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: you can live anywhere. So that's that's so that's what

748
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: we decided to do. And like we're putting a contract

749
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: on the house and Bobby calls me and it's like,

750
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: can you move to now? Well, luckily the house got rejected.

751
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: Something something fell through. Yeah, like listen, I don't know.

752
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that I believe in divining. I don't know,

753
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: but what but it was just like something fell through.

754
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: So I had to go to Rod Phillips, who's now

755
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: oddly the head of Country, but he was like, took

756
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: the first real big chance on me and say, we

757
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 1: have to tell Amy because nobody else knew. For almost

758
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: two months. Amy was the only one who knew that

759
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: I we were leaving, and so I just couldn't have

760
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: her buy another house. So they just staid in an

761
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: apartment and nobody ever addressed it. We just kind of

762
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: kept it under locked. It's a really weird time. Um.

763
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: But then we moved and I was like, hi, Austin.

764
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: By Austin, it was Amy was there for a matter

765
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: of Yeah, I moved there in September. I was so

766
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: worried though, because she had to go to her husband

767
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: and say, I just convinced you to go to Austin.

768
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: Now when you please moved to that? I called him

769
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: and I said we need to meet at Maudie's for

770
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: margharita right now. And he's like why, I'm like, just

771
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: meet me there. And we met there and I was

772
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: like to Margharita's and I was like, what do you

773
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: think about Nashville? Neither of us had ever even been

774
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: to Nashville. And he was like, okay, sounds cool. I

775
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: was like sweet and lucky. He has a job live wherever.

776
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: Like again, I don't know that men and things happening

777
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 1: for a reason, like I mean, I you know, are

778
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: different in that way. But it was just like all

779
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: everything just kind of felt together. So you grow up

780
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: in Austin, you go to college where Texas him Okay,

781
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: so you spend how long? They're three four and a

782
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: half years? Did you? I thought you went to a

783
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: junior college too for a while. Oh yeah, you're right,

784
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: So we'll what is that was in college station? Our?

785
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: It was in Brian Brian College Station. I went to Blenn,

786
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: which is like the feeder junior college in the A

787
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: and M. Like most everybody, if they're trying to get

788
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: into a M, they'll go to Blind In high school, yeah,

789
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: kind of like was pretty social in high school. Wasn't

790
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: that great of a student? You know? It was always

791
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: trdy to class always. I mean, it's just that I

792
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: took the SAT like three times. I can focus. What

793
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: did you make on the sum. Think the highest I

794
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: got was like like eleven hundred. I went from like

795
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: nine hundred. Uh, first time nine fifty or something, and

796
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: then the second time I actually went down. But then

797
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: the third time was charm I went up and then

798
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: but with that, my g p A still wasn't enough

799
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: to get into an M. But that's the only place

800
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: I applied. I had high hope so that I went

801
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: to Blenn for a year. But I was so embarrassed

802
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: that I didn't get into texting because all my friends

803
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: were going to like, I don't know, all kinds of

804
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: crazy colleges all over the place because I went to

805
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: Austin High and they were all over They're like, I'm

806
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: gonna go to Harvard or whatever. I'm like, cool, I'm

807
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: gonna be a blind, which I loved. It was good

808
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,959
Speaker 1: for me, is exactly what I needed. And I left

809
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: there with A three nine and got into A and

810
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: M immediately one year one year A blend, didn't graduate,

811
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: didn't I was three hours short. I walked across the

812
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: stage and UM I was doing a three hour like

813
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: correspondence course from Texas Tech. So back in the day,

814
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: UM stuff wasn't online. You had to mail it in

815
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: like you would do it from your notebook and mail

816
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: it in. Well, I was just really bad at mailing

817
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: it in. Go figure, so um. And then I walked

818
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: across the stage. And then I got a job because

819
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: most people were like, oh, yeah, you're done with school,

820
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: and so I was like, well, I don't need to

821
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: complete this three hour sociology class from Texas Tech. And

822
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: then I really But then I also didn't want to

823
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: ever own up to the fact that I mean, I

824
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: had my aggie ring I walked across the stage, but

825
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: I never wanted to another embarrassment where I was like,

826
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like I'm deceiving people. I really was,

827
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,439
Speaker 1: and that ate me up. It bothered me so much

828
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: because I mean I was basically lying, but I mean,

829
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: I just didn't want to get in the whole well

830
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: and three hours short, and I tried to do it.

831
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: So then finally I couldn't take it any longer. So

832
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: I graduated during the show. So I enrolled in school.

833
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: I took I took my three hour sociology class and

834
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: I submitted it to Texas A and M and they

835
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: mailed me my diploma. So my diploma, my Aggie Ring

836
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: says two thousand and three, which is my graduation year,

837
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: but my Texas A and M diploma says two thousand

838
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: and eight. It almost took me nine years to finish college.

839
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: You finished school and your first real job is what

840
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: granted sales? And what do you do as a granted

841
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: I worked for a wholesale company, so we, uh, there's

842
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: an import export company. And I had, you know, a

843
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: set list of customers, most of them fabricators, and I

844
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: I would just take care of them, like whatever they needed.

845
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: I never worked with the end user like you've got

846
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: granted in your kitchen like you. I didn't work with you.

847
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: I worked with probably whoever installed it, and UM, just

848
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: made sure they were taken care of. And um, she

849
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: had to leave that job. She took a pay cut,

850
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: a big pay cut to come work for me. There

851
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: was big, but it was I just asked for the

852
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: thing was I had just when Bobby offered me the job,

853
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: I was like, are you joking? And he's like no,

854
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: And I was like, I asked for a raise like

855
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: last week, and you have no idea how hard that

856
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: was for me because I didn't like asking for a raise.

857
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: But I knew I needed to do it because I

858
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: deserved it, and they were they were like, you're right,

859
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: you do. I was like, well that was easy. So

860
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: I got a raise, and then Bobby offered me a

861
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 1: job with less. We weren't making any money, no, none, none, none,

862
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: But I mean I was on cloud nine. I thought

863
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: it was. I thought so much like it didn't matter

864
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: like I I you know, my bills were minimal and

865
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: I when we were young, and I thought it was

866
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: that was great. I had a bunch of people put

867
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: questions up on Instagram to um. So one says, what

868
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: would you be doing now if you didn't have your

869
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 1: current job? And we'll keep these answers pretty quick. Always

870
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,959
Speaker 1: thought I was going to your mom, Yeah, you still

871
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: are going to still waiting. I always thought once I

872
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: even you know that for years, like I was like Bobby,

873
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 1: once I get pregnant, I'm leaving the show. You know that, right?

874
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: What would you be doing? Um? I probably doing create,

875
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: like creating a campaigns or stand up comic. You know.

876
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: I maybe not on the radio, but I would be creating.

877
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm a creator. Oh yeah, I have no idea what

878
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: I would be doing. Let's see when Amy's babysitter starts

879
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: having an affair with her husband. Oh my gosh, what

880
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just reading. That's not a question.

881
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: What does this say? Okay? Cool? No, Nope, they're asking

882
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 1: if you and I will get together. Then I didn't

883
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: even get to that part because you stop me. Someone

884
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: asked Amy if she's still a practicing guitar. No, that's miserable. Um,

885
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: let's see, it was a nightmare. Let's be honest. Here's

886
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: one If Amy didn't approve of someone you were dating,

887
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 1: would you trust start instincting in the relationship? Would you

888
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 1: We've never had that issue, though, I don't think Yeah,

889
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: I don't think so. You typically have. Well, any girl

890
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: i've known you that you've dated as she's always been

891
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 1: pretty amazing dating as in real life. I've been on

892
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: dates with girls and I mean I ever't even know them,

893
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: but I mean real life relationships. You've always like, man,

894
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 1: that bar is high. Um, it's never been a thing. Right.

895
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: And here's the thing too, When I date someone, Amy

896
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: ends up being friends with them longer than I date them.

897
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: Did you? Speaking of do you know what today is?

898
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: Do you do? You do you know what today is?

899
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: A birthday of someone. Yes, yeah, I was already texting

900
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: with her. Yeah, my fel's birthday today. Um, I don't know,

901
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: do you all? Even? You probably don't even that's fine,

902
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: and that's that's fine. I don't, yeah, because you know

903
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: when my last two girlfriends go. So I dated a

904
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 1: girl in Nashville who's in a band, Rachel, But before her,

905
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 1: I did Nakara for four years. Fantastic relationship. It'd be

906
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: one of those out like back at and as an idiot,

907
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: I have like three of those. I'll look back at

908
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: and be like, I was a huge idiot for he's

909
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: an idiot and so but you know it. So that's fine.

910
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, but's still you. Both of you would be

911
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: there for each other if you needed to be. But

912
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: I get the there's you know, it's not like texting. No,

913
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: we haven't actually spoken in a long time. I just

914
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: think it's easier for who. I don't know, but I

915
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: feel like it's easier. I'd be better if I didn't.

916
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: But I do know. Yes, I didn't know that it

917
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: was her birthday. Um. Let's see people are posting comments

918
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: on Instagram. Might you have anything over there? Bobby? Here?

919
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: Are you dating we wanted to. She doesn't know. Amy. No,

920
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm not dating anybody, but right now I have a

921
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: special friend. But I feel like I find it interesting

922
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: that today you put the label, you put the special friendly.

923
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: It's just it's complicated, that's all I'll say. It's a

924
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: complicated situation. Would you not agree? And listeners are like, hey,

925
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 1: what are you doing a little bit? I'm having fun,

926
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 1: you know with the picture and stuff, because it's fun,

927
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: but also it's like, I'm also hanging out with somebody

928
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: and I'm posting a picture of me just having fun

929
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: on instat ram so and we should all just be

930
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: glad Bobby's having fun. I mean, how many times do

931
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:10,439
Speaker 1: we hear Bobby's saying having fun? Um? Yeah, so yeah yeah, um? Amy,

932
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: how did you meet your husband? We grew up together

933
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 1: at church. Our parents were friends, and my sister is

934
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: married to his best friend, and so they I was

935
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: always the annoying little sister. So I'm younger than him.

936
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: But then I grew up here says lunchbox talks less.

937
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: Why so um, Eddie talks a lot more. Eddie had

938
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: kids and the dad and our audience went from being

939
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 1: nineteen year old to now our age and up to

940
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: forty year olds, and so there's only so much room

941
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: to talk. And there's me and there's Amy, and then

942
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,479
Speaker 1: it's just kind of whoever else has something, and Eddie

943
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 1: has kids and is very relatable and they do all

944
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: these research and Eddie's the one that the parents relate to.

945
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: So um because of that, because Eddie is so relatable

946
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: and people really really really like Eddie and that he's

947
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: just a great dude to people really, not not saying

948
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: they didn't, but people hate lunch Box's comments. There's no

949
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: hate on Eddie in any sort of people research the

950
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: crap out of us. Lunchbox does have a very strong

951
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: neggatives against him, but very positive positive but um, super

952
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: funny and a hot mess at the same time. But yeah,

953
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: it's because Eddie has taken a large role on the

954
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: show because he's a dad with kids, and listeners relate

955
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: to him and there's a great job to Eddie's fantastic

956
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: on the air. So it's not about lunch talking less.

957
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of Eddie talking more. You've got not a

958
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: little bit. Everybody's just gotta kind of piece and you

959
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: know what, every day, everybody fights for not fights on

960
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: the air. But everybody is like submitting things to me

961
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: to talk about. So it's a competition every day to

962
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: get on the air. I don't just go I gotta

963
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: give Lunchbox two segments. Lunchbox may have eight segments a show.

964
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: If he says, if he has eight great things to

965
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: talk about, I will go to all aid of them.

966
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: If he doesn't, I I'll go to zero. I mean,

967
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: just uh. Sometimes and he came to me and was like, Hey,

968
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: what's the deal. You're not looking at me as much?

969
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: And I was this, and I was like, what do

970
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: you mean. I don't realize this. All I do. I

971
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: go to the hot hand and I think, what my

972
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: strength is. I don't have to be the star of

973
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: the show, like I bring in stars and let them

974
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: be the star. So I did think, and I'm happy

975
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: to sit and laugh and let Amy or Lunchbox Eddie

976
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: just be the star and it's their segment. And there

977
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: and Amy was mad. It was I was for it

978
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: was weird. I was confused. I was feeling I guess

979
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: I was probably feeling down, and I was I wanted

980
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: to know, like what am I doing wrong? Like what

981
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: what did I say? The vibe is off, something's not right,

982
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: Like you just said, I have to go to where

983
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: we have a show to do, and I have to

984
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: go to where it's strong and right now, Eddie's strong

985
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: and Eddie was and I was like and I just

986
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: had to take a deep breath and I was like, okay,

987
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 1: well then I've got to you know, I guess it's

988
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, and as a girl, you can build up

989
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: all these different things in your head, like before I

990
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: went to Bobby and got that straight answer of like,

991
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: we have a show to do, this is work, and

992
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: Eddie's strong, So that's where I'm going to look. In

993
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: my head, I'm like, oh my gosh, you know, I've

994
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: created all these fake scenarios as to why Bobby's not

995
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: looking at me, you know. And it was it was

996
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: just talking and I would talk, and I feel like

997
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: sometimes in our work relationship that's just how like sometimes

998
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: I'll be like, hey, what's going on with this and

999
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:38,879
Speaker 1: be like, well, if you wanted to know, just ask

1000
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, that's a yeah. And Amy and

1001
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: I about once every four or five months have a

1002
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: conversation of, uh, what's bugging your right? Because I think,

1003
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think of it as a couple like time.

1004
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: A lot of times you can, you know, have an argument.

1005
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: You know that my husband, I can have an argument

1006
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 1: and I know he's going to love me unconditionally. Like

1007
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I can act a certain way around

1008
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: him that none of you will ever see ever And

1009
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 1: I feel secure in that because he loves me and

1010
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: he's not gonna abandon me. And I don't think and um,

1011
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: but but you know with other relationships where it's like

1012
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,479
Speaker 1: your dating, but you don't have that you you freak

1013
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: you you you don't have Sometimes you freak out a

1014
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,959
Speaker 1: little bit more and you have to again create false

1015
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: scenarios and then you just have to hash it out

1016
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: every once in a while because you're not having those

1017
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: regular like little you knows what is your perception of amy?

1018
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,919
Speaker 1: And I like, because you've interned with the show, you've

1019
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: produced the show from Afar as an affiliate. Now we

1020
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: moved you here and you live and you see, um,

1021
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: so you've been on all sides of it. Yeah. I

1022
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: mean for me, it's just been crazy to see you

1023
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: guys kind of like grow together and just be like

1024
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 1: best friends throughout at all. And I don't know, it's

1025
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: kind of inspiring, you know way and I don't know,

1026
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 1: I think that's awesome. How really how you just founder

1027
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: randomly and how kind of how you found everybody it

1028
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 1: was just people you found and how it's you know,

1029
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: worked out so well. Yeah, you're you're pretty random. I

1030
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: don't have to wrap Amy up. This is a different

1031
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: on the podcast. I'm just taking my hand and rap

1032
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 1: do the rap signal because sometimes on the air, yeah,

1033
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: like what's happening he's not cutting me off? Oh my gosh,

1034
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: when you hear the music with talking, when I tell

1035
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 1: you when the song, when the song starts playing, stop talking,

1036
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: because that meant singing my favorite thing to listen for

1037
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 1: with Amy talking over like like yeah, you hit a

1038
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 1: clip and you still hear it. Let's struggle with that

1039
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 1: a little bit. What happens off the mic mike, Like,

1040
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: we know what happens off the mic, but again you're newer.

1041
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 1: What happens off the mic when we're not in the air.

1042
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's pretty much the same. Like it's just like, really,

1043
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 1: when the MIC's go off, everybody still talks the same.

1044
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: You also talk about the same stuff. And then I

1045
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: think that's what kind of when people come sitting on

1046
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,279
Speaker 1: the show. Sometimes you don't know when the show is

1047
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: going on or when it's like our bosses don't know

1048
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: when the children don't start talking, and I'm like, we're

1049
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: on the air. You're not just chilling and talking on

1050
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: the air, just like when you all are talking regular. No,

1051
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: it's cool. Do you have any questions for me? You

1052
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: don't have to know. I just wonder if there's anything

1053
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: you wanted to dig out, like dr Film moment here.

1054
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: Amy has a podcast by the way. Yeah, well you

1055
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: just asked me if any questions for you, and then

1056
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: well you were stall. I was gonna van and promote

1057
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: your podcast while you thought of something. Okay, go for it.

1058
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:45,240
Speaker 1: Well so you can, I'll let you talk with podcast.

1059
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: But go ahead. Okay. Well, I mean only because I'm

1060
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: getting hit with it left and right about about the

1061
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 1: girl and this is the last one I'm bringing it up.

1062
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: But I know that it's not like you know, it

1063
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,120

1066
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: I feel like it's my job to kind of you know, Um,

1067
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: it's for real. I know that it's complicated, But but

1068
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: do you think that one day we'll we'll get figured

1069
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: out and then it'll be less complicated with this or

1070
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: in general in life with this, I don't know, you

1071
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: really don't know. I hope, okay, you hope. I like that.

1072
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: I like to have great people around me, and I

1073
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: cut out any one that's negative. Mm hm. You know

1074
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 1: we've been to get along enough. If there's negativity in

1075
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: the room, it goes away, right like for you're listening

1076
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: to this podcast now, and you know, I mean, I

1077
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: wish we could just give this tomorrow knight to go

1078
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: in and be awesome, right this be. But there have

1079
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: been instances where at times or there have been people

1080
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: that bring in negative energy into the room, they don't

1081
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: stay in the room, or they don't stay on the show.

1082
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: And there you've set such a precedence for that too

1083
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: that there's been times where I have to like check

1084
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: myself and I know it, and you'll almost you would

1085
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 1: like sniff Bobby like sniffs me like a dog. You know,

1086
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 1: like no, no, it's not like that, but he'll he'll know.

1087
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes I try to hide it, but I'm

1088
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 1: very hard, very bad. In three seconds, I know if

1089
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: she's in a bad happy mood, if at a time

1090
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: of a month, if it's if she had a fight,

1091
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: and then he'll ask like is everything okay? And then

1092
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: we hate that question, and then I try to fake it,

1093
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: and then I can't fake it, and then I fake

1094
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: it some more and then just then I explode. But

1095
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 1: sometimes I have to almost like mentally, I'll be driving

1096
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: into work and if I know that I feeling negative

1097
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: or my heart's in a bad place, or I'm just

1098
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,959
Speaker 1: like grumpy because it's really and I'm not a warning

1099
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: version or whatever. Like I I get my game based

1100
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: off when I'm driving to work, and I I will

1101
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: recite the fruits of the Spirit in my head, like

1102
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: over and over in my own work. I turn off

1103
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: the radio and I grabbed this doing one when I

1104
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 1: look ahead, and I'm like love, joy, peace, patients, kind

1105
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: of goingness, gentle in space on the self control and

1106
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: I say that over and over and over so that

1107
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: I show up. And when I see Bobby, I'm not like,

1108
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, bringing in negativity because it's no joke, Like

1109
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't have time for that. We don't have time

1110
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: for that. There's no time for someone to bring the

1111
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: rest of the room down one. It's just not good

1112
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: for business. He wants to be that the debby downer.

1113
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: And it's also not fun. And if we're not having fun,

1114
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: our listeners are not having fun. And that's the first

1115
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: rule of anything we do on the show. And there's

1116
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: times you have to be the business like, you have

1117
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: to be that and that's it. I couldn't do it. Yeah,

1118
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: it's really hard sometimes from you know, from even the

1119
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: Carlos stuff that was really difficult for me, so hard

1120
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: because he was a close friend that it just didn't

1121
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: work out professionally, great guy and it was one of

1122
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 1: the first podcasts that we did. Um. You know, there

1123
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: have been times with everyone where we've had to be

1124
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: with the boss and you're legit, regardless of what people think,

1125
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: you have a legit. Sometimes had to take me aside

1126
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: and they're like, get it together. Yeah, but you it's different.

1127
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: You work harder than everybody else on that show. I

1128
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 1: don't think, so okay, you work harder at making that

1129
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: show a full show than anybody else on that show.

1130
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: Everybody has specialties that they're great at and everybody puts

1131
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: in a lot of time, Like you're not gonna beat

1132
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: Ray in sitting in a studio cutting audio. He's gonna

1133
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: be there. But Red would do that, or he'd go

1134
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: sell cable, or he would pump gas. Ray just finds

1135
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: his thing and just does. But that's a specialty. Everybody

1136
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: has their specialty With Amy, She's such a full part

1137
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: of the show that if I don't have it coming

1138
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: from her, I don't have it, Like it's just not there.

1139
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: And when Amy left, ratings took a hit, and partially

1140
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: it's because she was gone, and partially it was because

1141
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: it's freaking out because she was gone. And so um oh,

1142
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 1: like when I left because my mom, Yeah, because you

1143
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:22,919
Speaker 1: were gone for a couple of months. Um so yeah, yeah, yeah,

1144
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that but yeah, there's no negativity.

1145
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 1: And there are times we have to take people to

1146
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: the side and be the boss and not just that

1147
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: and say hey, you're not the other the I don't

1148
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 1: won't get specifics. The other night, I had to have

1149
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: words with the entire show because it's like, if you're

1150
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 1: going to go and do this fun thing, Michael, you

1151
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: if you're gonna go and do this thing and work,

1152
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 1: you can't not do your show work and there's when

1153
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: I gotta like they're gonna be the friend you can

1154
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: answer that if you know you can answer it. And yeah,

1155
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: it's a weird dynamic to be but with you, I've

1156
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: found it to be the easiest to be direct and

1157
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: not worried about any sort of odd interpretation because I

1158
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: can go directly to you and say exactly how I

1159
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: feel and I don't have to worry about you. I

1160
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: know you're gonna be sensitive about it, but I know

1161
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna get over at the quickest and you're not

1162
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: gonna hold a grudge. You're gonna be the most sensitive,

1163
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: but you're gonna get over at the quickest. Yeah. Sure

1164
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm sensitive, I'm delicate, but it's like like I have

1165
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 1: to put on my amy gloves, gloves and too. She

1166
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: also knows how to handle me because I'm I really

1167
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: am a nutcase. So I'm mess. So we'll be doing

1168
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: the countdown. I'll give you example. Today we're doing the countdown.

Speaker 1: will be up forever, and um, I know forever, forever, forever.

1186
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: You know, you're in the process of adopting two children

1187
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: right now. It's been a three year process. Um, yeah,

1188
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: three and a half years. And at any time maybe

1189
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: we'll be gone for a couple of weeks, and um,

1190
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: I can't wait for you to be gone, like from

1191
01:01:32,840 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: you way more. Listen with you. It's this is your

1192
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: life and you've been one of these kids so bad.

1193
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 1: But I don't think that I've ever wanted something for

1194
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 1: someone so bad ever, And I still don't want as

1195
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: much as you want them for you because they're your kids.

1196
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 1: But I don't think that I have wanted something for

1197
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: someone so much ever. There's just no one more deserving

1198
01:01:55,960 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: to be a mom. And and if I have to, well,

1199
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: I know you. Yeah. Bobby's always like what do we

1200
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: need to do? Who do we need? And I'm like, Bobby,

1201
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:10,280

Speaker 1: Got an agency, We're doing everything that protocol. And I've

1204
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 1: even gotten in trouble by them a couple of times.

1205
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: Um for going rogue. Uh, just because I have relationships

1206
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: in Haiti and I've kind of learned my lesson. So

1207
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be good. And you know, I don't

1208
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: want to jeopardize anything because these are lives, you know.

1209
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 1: I want to a couple of things I want to

1210
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 1: address before we go, because we fitt the hour mark.

1211
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: But dang um two things one for us. Pimp enjoy

1212
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: is such a big movement. It's it's such a large

1213
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: scale giving endeavor that we say. And when I say we,

1214
01:02:57,760 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: I don't mean we in this room or we in

1215
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 1: that studio, we as a group of listeners, UM are

1216
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: able to do. And you know, it started we were

1217
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: looking you guys were looking for, um a Twitter handle

1218
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: for your mom and end up being Judy be Pimp

1219
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: and Joy and so Judy chooses Joy was taken, so

1220
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: we kept pimp and Joy and so that was Amy.

1221
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: It was like, you know, pimp and Joy and so

1222
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: you you, you came, You came with the hashtag you came.

1223
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 1: It was really special actually because you know, uh, my

1224
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: mom's cancer just returned for like the third time or something,

1225
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: and we were doing to do our first anniversary Joy

1226
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: Week and You're like, hey, I want to dedicate Joy

1227
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 1: Week to your mom because she's kind of inspired the

1228
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,919
Speaker 1: joy theme, and we're going to use the hashtag pimp

1229
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: and Joy because of her Twitter handle. And I was like,

1230
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. And then from that like everything rolled

1231
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 1: out and it's been it's almost it's been something you

1232
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: know for me. I feel like I've always you know,

1233
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: relied on. There's a verse romans and just a paraphrase,

1234
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 1: it's like God's gonna work for the good of those

1235
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: who love them and those that are called according to

1236
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: his purpose, Like there's gonna be hard things in life,

1237
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: but I know that there's gonna be good that come

1238
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: from it. And that was almost like the prayer my

1239
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: mom had in the chapel the day that the cancer

1240
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: came back again. She said, Lord, just use this for good.

1241
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: Just use this for good. Whatever you do, just use

1242
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 1: this for good. And so every time a Pimp and

1243
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: Enjoy item is sold, or every time someone is pimp

1244
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: and Joy stuff, or someone is spreading joy or choosing

1245
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: joy for themselves, like in I know it's so much

1246
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: bigger than that now, but still not lost on us.

1247
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: It's it's still not lost, but I get that it's

1248
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: kind of taken legs of its own and it's it's

1249
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: the shows, but like for me and my family, like

1250
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: every time we see that, I just need y'all to know.

1251
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's my brain instantly goes to

1252
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 1: my mom being like, Lord, just use this for good.

1253
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 1: And so every time that Pimp and Joy is used,

1254
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 1: so I'm like, it's being used for good. Your cancer sucked.

1255
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: Cancer sucks, but this is something that was used for

1256
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 1: good and it's continuing, like it will continue even with

1257
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 1: the word Pimp in which was controversial, and I get it.

1258
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: I do think this was one of the examples of

1259
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 1: us having different strengths and then working together because you

1260
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: came and told the story to me first about your

1261
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: mom and the prayer and we will and it was like,

1262
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 1: I want to do Joy week for your mom hashtag

1263
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: Pimp and Joy. And then we have a great friend

1264
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 1: named Mary Barnes and it's it's been us three that

1265
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 1: have been running Pimp and Joy. And we don't keep

1266
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 1: any of the money, and we find causes and we're

1267
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: able to help. And we meaning not us in the room,

1268
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:58,959
Speaker 1: not us in the studio, but the people that listen

1269
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 1: to this to buy the hats shirts. We don't keep

1270
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,920
Speaker 1: any of the money for ourselves and we never will.

1271
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 1: And for me, it was that little moment for you

1272
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 1: and your mom, and it was how in the world

1273
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: can we take this and make this a monster for greatness?

1274
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: And we are still building and we're not because it

1275
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: has to be, but just because it already is. Our

1276
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: listeners have allowed it, they've created it, and everyone's embraced it.

1277
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: If it's a dog that needs a surgery, or a

1278
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: family that needs food, or a flood or Christmas gifts

1279
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 1: for a kid if it's St. Jude, you guys have

1280
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 1: been able to do that. And it's just like the

1281
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: perfect storm of things that have happened, um, that have

1282
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 1: allowed it. And and I'm appreciative. Oh I'm so yeah,

1283
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm beyond. It's crazy how big it has gotten. Um

1284
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 1: of just T shirts and hats, because it's it's so

1285
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: much bigger than that. Yeah, and it's it's yeah, it's me.

1286
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 1: It's a dumb it's a dumb name. It's a dumb word,

1287
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 1: but it's means it means so much more than that

1288
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 1: word means. So I mean, for if you're listening to this,

1289
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 1: thank you. And then, um, I'm gonna talk about your

1298
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 1: they did, but I didn't know. I'm just kidding about

1299
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:50,479
Speaker 1: Love What Matters formed and they have a pretty big

1300
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 1: Facebook following and people. They have a website where people

1301
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 1: can submit the stories that feel good stories to inspire,

1302
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 1: to motivate, and and they saw the impact they were

1303
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: having and they decided they wanted to have a podcast.

1304
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: So they started asking around. They have relationships and radio.

1305
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,919
Speaker 1: The guys live in in New York and I guess

1306
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: they talked to some of our people and then trinkled

1307
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: down to you. And they kept asking for a name

1308
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 1: of who they should reach out to, and they kept

1309
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: hearing some girl named Amy that works for Bobby Boy Bobby,

1310
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: and I was like what, I don't know, And then

1311
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 1: Bobby was like, you have to do this, you have

1312
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 1: to do this. I'm like, well, okay, I guess I

1313
01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:31,759
Speaker 1: guess I could do it. And so we're actually tomorrow.

1321
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 1: running out of time here, is that this is an

1322
01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 1: Amy thing. It's not a Bobby thing. It's just not

1323
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 1: And I don't want it, and you've been Yeah, I

1324
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 1: almost so scared. Bobby didn't want because he wasn't really

1325
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 1: saying much about it, and he's the one that you know,

1326
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: supported me to doing it. I'm like, wait, do you

1327
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 1: want me to do it or not? Because you're not

1328
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 1: You're not saying anything about it, and you're like, that's

1329
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 1: the point. This is something I want you to do.

1330
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 1: That's you know, if you even I know exactly you said,

1331
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 1: because this is something you tell yourself. You're like, you

1332
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: need to go after it with everything. If it fails,

1333
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,719
Speaker 1: it fails because of you, or if it's a success,

1334
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: it's a success because of you. Isn't that what you

1335
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: told me? It's true. I don't want people going, well,

1336
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: Bobby was promoting right, And I don't think that's why

1337
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 1: you're like now bringing it up on the podcast. I

1338
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: don't think that's not it at all. But people come

1339
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 1: on the podcast and I actually think it's really great. Um,

1340
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 1: and but yeah, it's it's definitely a you thing. And

1341
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 1: what's what's cool is the company uses you more by

1342
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: yourself like it's wonderful. I love it, Like I can't

1343
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 1: get a knife of it. Well, I don't want because

1344
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: I don't know down jealousy zero percent. Like I don't

1345
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:07,480
Speaker 1: like a lot of the stuff that I do. Anything's

1346
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 1: like I need a right help me out here. Um

1347
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: So anyway, Mike, we're gonna wrap anything that we didn't

1348
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: hit that you think. Um, I don't know what we

1349
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: talked about, but it was it anything that we'd like

1350
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 1: to know. Who does the show recap here? Do you

1351
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: remember when I used to type the show recap every day?

01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:40,599
Speaker 1: us would know, just make it up and we really started.

1357
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 1: I had one microphone and there was another microphone, lunch

1358
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,719
Speaker 1: buck to have a microphone. Oh my god, it's crazy

1359
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: to think of now and people you know, depending who

1360
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 1: you talk to another radio dj is and other other companies.

1361
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: You know, we're the big bad guy because we're the

1362
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 1: biggest show in the format and one of the biggest

1363
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: in the country, and that's great. We were I'm happy

1364
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: to be there and I'm happy to be uh the

1365
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 1: ambassador for the format, and I'm happy to be whatever

1366
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 1: whatever I get called, from good to bad, to the

1367
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: savior to the worst person in the format, I get

1368
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 1: called it all, all of it. I'm happy for it.

1369
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: What I'm happy is about is that we started. We

1370
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 1: weren't supposed to make it. It was just some friends

1371
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: in a room that was about a third of the

1372
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 1: size of this tiny bedroom that we're in right now.

1373
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 1: But with your your work ethic in the way, you

1374
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 1: kind of again are the you. You allow us to

1375
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,720
Speaker 1: be us, but yet you control us at the not

1376
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 1: not control, but you contain us like you right, you

1377
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:38,879
Speaker 1: keep us there. But it's you you are really good

1378
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,720
Speaker 1: at It is a craft, I know it just it

1379
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 1: is organic and we are just being us. But at

1380
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 1: the same time you're kind of piecing everything together and

1381
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 1: you do it well. But at the same time, you

1382
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:52,680
Speaker 1: know you've you've allowed the show to be used for

1383
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,200
Speaker 1: good and you continue to do that and you get

1384
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:59,599
Speaker 1: more of that as time goes on, and that's exciting

1385
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:01,600
Speaker 1: to see. As we grow the more you want to

1386
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 1: do for others and then also what you do for

1387
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 1: what you do for artists. I don't I'm not a

1388
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 1: big music I didn't get into radio because I'm a

1389
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: big music person and you are. And I like that

1390
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: about you and that you share with us. I feel

1391
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 1: like sometimes I'm just a listener even though I'm on

1392
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:20,679
Speaker 1: the show with you. Like finding new music and finding

1393
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 1: new artists because you bring it to the table, and

1394
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 1: I feel like that's that's it's a little this part

1395
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 1: of the secret to the success is that you're you're
