WEBVTT - In Case You Missed It: #10 Amy 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:03.000 All right away. This episode ten and the Bobby cast 0:00:03.160 --> 0:00:09.319 Welcome to the show, saved our biggest guest that's far 0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:13.039 for episode ten. We didn't know if we'd make it 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:16.040 this far, so we celebrated and co hosted the Bobby 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:20.560 Gone Show. Amy, it's here today. Hello. Okay, it's weird. 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:26.080 What I don't know? So Ammy's here and I figured 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.720 we will just kind of talk about you. And Amy 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.360 has her own podcast to which we'll talk about a bit. Um. 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:33.840 That's why she was begging to come on the show 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:39.640 so she could promote it and no begging and Uh, Mike, 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:42.839 you can kick it off here. Uh, it's Amy. Now. 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:44.680 We do a show together every day for five hours 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.080 a day of sitting basically this close, so today's dynamic 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.440 will be slightly different. Um, but I'll go ahead and 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.600 we'll start with you, Mike, Mike d Our, producer, go ahead. 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.040 Question one, When you first met Amy, what wasn't it 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:56.800 about her that kind of stood out to that, like 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:00.760 you had to have her on the show. I think 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:05.080 that she was unapologetic, but not in the way that 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.200 most times people say that where they come across as 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:12.800 crass or rude. She was just unapologetic. At she was 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:22.399 clumsy and nice and Christian and just authentic, but you know, 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:24.959 just she just was who she was and that was it. 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.280 So yeah, I think that was kind of the same 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:31.000 thing that today is still like the reason that I 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.880 enjoyed being around her, So that still hadn't changed. We 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.200 were on flying this past weekend. We were I heard 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:41.560 festival and I guess Amy was having a moment or 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.520 something and she was like, I just needed you to 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.720 fill my cup up and I was like, are you 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:50.920 talking about and so but well, things have changed a lot. Yeah, 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:55.960 that changed a lot and a lot. This is fittingly 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.320 the tenth episode of your podcast. We've been together. I 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.720 mean we've been friends longer, but how long we've been 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.400 doing the show together over ten years, but I'm in 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:08.000 my tenth going on eleventh year. But it's a long time. 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:09.840 So I mean a lot has changed for both of us. 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.880 And I don't mean that in a way like you've changed, 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.880 but it's just you've gotten older, our lives have shifted. 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.720 You've got so much more going on. And we used 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.440 to be I think together a lot more or even 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.519 travel a lot more, and we were so inseparable that 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.280 people thought we had an affair forever. I mean it 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.799 still comes up all the time. Oh no, I mean 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.080 it doesn't. So I mean if it does, it's so nothing. 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.280 We don't I don't even see it, just like like 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.640 what crazy, I don't even see it. But it wasn't 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.080 all the time our first years of being together, it 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.160 was all the thing. And I wrote in my book, 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:53.000 but nothing has ever happened with us like ever and forever. 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:54.640 Even people in our building will be like, oh, for 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.200 sure they're doing it. But we were just really really 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.560 really close all the time. And um, I think a 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.560 lot of that was we were young, we didn't have 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:07.000 a lot of other things going on. Um, I met 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:12.880 Amy well the first time, col Verse. Yeah, I feel 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.079 like I've told the story a lot. But I was 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.000 at a restaurant and she came up and so, um, 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.480 to just answer your question when we can go back around, 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.960 but um, yeah, it's just unapologetic, just she is who 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:28.960 she is. And again, yeah, it was good to actually 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.920 spend quality time whereas you and I get to talk, 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:33.680 Amy and I get to talk about ourselves every day 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.200 we do. But we're sitting in a room together in 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.440 my office where we have a side studio and we're 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.680 kind of commercials and we're going quick and it's little 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.960 comments and we we text all the time, but again 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.720 we used to spend, which for you was like, that's 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:52.240 like the thing that Amy gets on me for is 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:56.000 that and not in a bad way, and that where 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.520 she has grown in her personal life with a husband 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.880 and about to have two kids, and lots of what 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:05.600 I've grown in my professional life. I'm not backing on 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:10.880 that a little bit. You're super busy. So it goes 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.960 from you know, I was doing the radio show, to 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.800 uh turn the radio show and then turn it into 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.520 a national radio show, and turning that national radio show 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.800 and shifting and moving the whole show over from there. 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.640 Starting the Raging Idiots is just a two person parody band. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:31.919 It's turned into record deal books. Um, so it's just 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.520 a lot of things which has required a lot of 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.480 people to help me because I can't do it all 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.520 by myself from outside of the building. So like I 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.800 have like I call my babysitter. I have a manager 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.720 now and and I'll admit some of that, some of 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.760 that I struggled with a little bit, I think any 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.720 not because I'm not proud of you or anything. But 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.720 I think you know, we started out, We're in one market. 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:58.520 We managed ourselves like there was nobody. Everything was just 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:02.159 like us, which I think sometimes when all of this 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.320 stuff started to change the last few years, whereas I 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:06.960 used to be able to come to you for stuff, 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.200 you almost didn't even know your own schedule, and rightfully, 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:13.600 so it's nut. So so I had a problem like 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.800 embracing the fact that I had to reach out to 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.640 other people because I'm like, oh no, no, I've been 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.960 friends and I know. So I was like you and 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.640 now now it's just easier, and now I'm like, I 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.640 love it. I love that other people like know everything 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.640 because then I can get an answer and it's legit 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.440 and it's right and it's quick because he doesn't know 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.920 it certainly. So, um, now I've embraced it. I don't 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:38.520 know my schedule day to day most of the time. 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.520 I just know that it's there's rarely fifteen minutes. We'll 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.680 call it growing pains. Um that's been the weirdest thing 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.560 for I think us as a team, growing pains. And 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.920 Amy has been my absolutely closest friend for the past 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:54.160 ten years, like overall, my closest friend and um, but yeah, 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:58.360 the growing pains have been. But listen, you have gotten married. 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.280 I'm not don't take this. It's not personal saying on 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.440 the other side of it. Um, it's not like because 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:05.920 we should just go hang out and have dinner and 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.760 eat lunch, and but now you have weekends, you're off 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.840 in Haiti, or you're dealing with kids stuff or and 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.360 that's been. That's been a lot, that's been heavy. That's been. 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:20.039 I think once they get here, I feel like some 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.000 of you will resume back to normal. I feel like 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.600 a lot of it's going to change. My normal will 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.120 be different. But I feel like right now I'm in 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.159 such a place where like half of my heart is 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.360 here and half of it's in Haiti, So I don't 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:41.440 really feel complete. We started together on the same page 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.680 and we have grown together very much so, but we've 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.159 also kind of spread in different ways. So and she 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:49.679 just gets mad that she has to go to Morean 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.920 and be like, hey, Bobby Free, I'm not mad anymore. 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:53.600 I like it. Now I'll be like, I don't know. 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.800 At the beginning, I was like, no, I don't go 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.360 through people, I go through you. And then now I 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.640 wouldn't know the and then they would best. He would 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.120 be so busy he wouldn't know. And then now I'm like, 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.719 bring on the people. It has been a change. But 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.280 if I didn't have these people like looking over my career, 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:16.120 I wouldn't be able to manage it, like tour managers 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.440 and booking and totally I get it. I get it. 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.680 That's one. Yes, um, that that is what drew me 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.080 to her. Do you want to know? Dremmy to Bobby, Yeah, 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.240 I have no idea. I didn't even know he was 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.200 gonna offer me really a job on the radio. I 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.200 didn't offer a job for a long time. And not 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.360 to repeat things that we've said over and over again, 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.400 but I did not offer Amy the job first, like 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.200 I only want to hire my friends or people that 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.080 I'm comfortable with. And I met Amy at Culver's and 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.240 we got to know each other for like six or 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.760 seven months, and we were friends and I was just 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.480 making sure that and I had started dating my husband 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.280 right at the same time. But then Bobby and I 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.440 would like hang out and I would be like, I 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.800 don't know, I mean, I'm gonna go to dinner. And 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:01.920 the one time we went to the movies and then 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.040 went saw cars. Yeah, that was that came out. And 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.360 then oh gosh, one time I was on the phone 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.720 with my head. Well he wasn't my husband yet. We 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:13.080 were just dating, like newly dating, don't we weren't even Yeah, 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.239 we weren't engaged because we got engaged shortly after newly dating. 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:22.240 And I called my husband Bobby at the time, boyfriend 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.520 or whatever. And it was like because Bobby and I 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.200 were spending so much time together and then out of nowhere, 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.400 I just he were on the phone and I just said, oh, Bob, okay, Bobby, 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.240 and I mean, I mean, that's not your name, but 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.320 that's how much time we were spending together. And then 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.320 one night we went to dinner and You're like, I'm 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.920 here to offer you a job. Yeah, And so that 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.839 was what happened, and there we are, all right, what 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:50.920 are you doing? And it went down for some reason. Um, alright, 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.600 Mike give another question going, yeah, well, Amy, you never 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.800 did radio before, so like, did Bobby train you? And 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:02.520 when you started? How was that process? No? Okay, okay, okay, okay, 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.720 well I take that back. Yes, everything I know today 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:10.199 is that is worth anything in radio I have learned 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.320 from Bobby. So yes, but I wouldn't say there was 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:17.880 like this radio boot camp. I feel like what Bobby 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.520 was doing when he selected friends to join him was 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.240 he wanted us to be us. He didn't want training 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:34.800 or you toll. Yeah, it's rough because we're not like 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:38.120 I was, speech impediment. Um, it's not even just status 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.240 that even on my side, I don't know anything other 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.439 than what I've done. I haven't. No one taught me 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.240 how to do a morning show. They just took a 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.040 year old kids said Okay, here's the show, and so 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:50.480 I started doing it. No one taught me how to 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.480 do it, and then I had brought people on. No 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.079 one taught anyone had to do anything. So that's why 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:58.000 the show sounds so oddly rough and fantastic at the 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.200 same time. In different times, it could be a terrible show, 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.040 could be a great show. Um, what what I don't understand? 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.719 What do you to me? You never answered, Oh, we 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.079 moved on. But I was just thinking. I didn't. I wasn't. 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.760 I just I thought you were funny. I mean, and 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.640 when you offered me a job in radio, of course 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.480 I thought that was fun and I was like years old. 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:18.960 I had a nice and deep answer Hers was like, 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:23.320 you offered me a job? What else might so how 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.319 would you say? Yes? Friendship has changed over the years 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.160 with you know, everything kind of getting on a you know, 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.800 the show is getting on a bigger scale, and you 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:36.560 guys don't like, are you a closer now or is 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.160 it I put one more pressure on Amy than anybody 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:44.640 else on the show, like significantly? Oh yeah, of course, 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:50.400 Like without Amy first there, I mean, there's no show. 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.440 Well that's that's not true. And I've told her, I've 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:58.280 told I heard that privately twenty times that without Amy 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:02.880 the show just isn't a sick excess. And so I 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.040 know that I know where my bread is buttered when 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.080 we do a radio show, and she makes me a 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.280 better radio personality, and it makes me a better person, 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:11.319 and those two things go together because I try to 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.839 be a better person. And if i'm I mean I 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.160 am who I am on the radio to Bobby is 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:22.040 some like rare genius that knows what's gonna work and 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.280 what's gonna sound good. Now. Does everything began out? No, 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.760 But he can he can take what we submit to 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.720 talk about and compile and he can know like, Okay, 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:31.240 this is gonna be interesting to talk about like I 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.720 can think so many things are awesome to talk about, 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.320 but he just kind of he just he just knows. 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.880 He makes it work. So for you to say that 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.840 it wouldn't exist being what it is without me, wouldn't you? 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.600 You are the the puppet master, I guess if you will, 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.360 and you do it well, and you've led well in 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.000 that area of of the thing. That too is no 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:55.880 one on the show knows what we're gonna talk about 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.640 and were talking about, like, nobody knows what we're going 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:00.680 to talk about it. Ray has a bay idea because 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.000 I'll send him audio to put in, but nobody on 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:04.880 the entire show knows what I'm gonna talk about. It's 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.400 super organic because I don't want anyone having any idea 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.920 or having to try to come up with some joke, 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:13.920 because that's not the point of the show. It's not 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.760 to be the zany let's come up with jokes morning show. 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.360 It's just to live lives. So I just want to 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.360 try to find the best people possible. Um, it's been 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.360 that way since day one. It kept it that way, 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.360 and so many people think, like do you have prep 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.520 meetings before or after you talk about the next day show? 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.560 And we just we just don't. And it's sometimes people 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.400 in radio when they hear that we don't do that, 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.920 they get weird looks. But again, since I don't know radio, 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.520 even though I've been a radio ten years, I'm like, 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.280 why are you giving me weird looks? This is what 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.840 we this is radio, And they're like, no, that's not 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.240 it's not how most people do it exact and some 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.560 people do it their way really well. But I would 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.480 have found a bunch of people that weren't good at radio. 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.480 I was. I wasn't good radio. Which you found your friends? 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.679 Which was the original question. Sometimes we do tour, but 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.520 that was the original question about our friendship. But I 0:12:56.520 --> 0:13:01.480 think I think that as it's similar to the show, 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:06.360 there's been some like like we've just grown, Like you're busier, 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:13.400 you're you're I think you've maxed out at I was 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.720 about to go deep here, but we are still as 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:23.000 close as we were. Um you could you only there's 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.520 a certain amount of rope, right that's you're able to give, 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:28.800 and I've I was given that a long time ago, 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.120 and I think I still have it well. I mean, 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.319 I mean I'm saying it's the longest or anything you 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.120 have the longest for a couple of reasons. One, we've 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.760 been together forever too, I trust you. I mean we've 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.880 been to a lot together, like a lot, and you've 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.240 always been there for me, Like there are things always 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.839 be there for me. You' all have no idea. I 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.440 could even get an emotional saying it, because there are 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.679 things that Bobby has done for me and my family 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.520 that like, you'll have no idea. You have no idea. 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:03.080 So that friendship stuff like there's because of you know, 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.240 Bobby's upbringing and things. We all have baggage, but because 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.720 of some of yours, Like he only has a that 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:10.960 so long, like that rope is so long, and I 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.120 feel like I got that a long time ago and 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:14.760 I feel like I still have it. So just do 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.520 I still feel like our friendship is the same, Yes, 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.880 But the aspects that are different are just that, um, 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:26.320 your professional life, your career is just you know, going 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.640 off in ninety different directions, which I love because I'm 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:31.440 your friend. I want that for you because I know 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:36.960 that's that's your heart's desire. And I but sometimes because 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.280 life is like that, you know, you don't get as 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.680 much time with people, and my life is different too, 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.600 So it doesn't matter, Like Bobby would be there for 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.320 me in a second, and I think the same speaks 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.640 for me. Yeah, for you, I think that we've been 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.400 together a long time, we've we are friends, has been 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.680 tested a bunch, and we both had really you know, 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.280 both of our moms died and we were both there 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:07.000 for each other a hardcore. I think for us that 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:11.680 was a really we were already there. But I think 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:15.040 for us that just kind of sewed up the fact 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.840 that forever, even if we don't talk for three years 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.080 or seven years, that it would be like one phone call. 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.120 It doesn't matter where you are, what you need. It's 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:27.080 like when my mom, my mom died and I was 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:32.040 on the air, and um, and I don't even don't 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.880 Maybe he's gonna get me emotional my mom. I was 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.080 on the air and I got a phone call and 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.040 my mom died while I was on the air, and um, 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.280 it was my sister's and my mamma died and I 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.560 was in her forties and obviously, um, she had struggled 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.600 drugs and alcohol forever, and so I couldn't leave. We 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.120 had just started syndicating the show, and there was there 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.560 was nothing I could do, and I was able to, 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.960 and I still am able to separate things. It's unhealthy 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.880 how I can separate things. And it it helps me 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.160 in ways, but at times it's very unhealthy. And I said, hey, 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.280 I told Amy, I said, listen, I just got a 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:10.800 call for my sister. My mom just died. And and 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.960 I'm thinking, okay, we're going to commercial. Show is done. 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.760 It's like you or something. And then Bobby's like, nope, 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:20.640 We're doing the next break and we go back on 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:26.280 air and we talked as if like nothing. I mean, 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.960 I couldn't talk, Lunchbox can talk. Bobby carries on like 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.320 Bobby is in a zone. I mean, obviously it was 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.560 probably one of the I get that you're saying you 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.760 can compartmentalize like no other, but that had to be 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:37.920 one of the hardest things you've ever done. It just 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.920 was what happen to be done. So I did. This 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.560 is what happened. There was an hour and twenty minutes 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.120 the show left. I went on to the hour and 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:46.560 twenty minutes of the show. Is Amy said in the 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:50.600 corner and cried the whole time. And because I couldn't, 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:55.720 she did, and the whole you know, and you know, 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.240 I went home to care of the arrangement to funeral. 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.080 Amy was there, I mean they everyone was there next day, 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.040 I mean boom, I mean I was back on the air. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:04.440 But from you, he was like back at work. I 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.320 mean even at the funeral. We were like, Bobby, just 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.320 take your time, like do what you need to do here, 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.320 and you just were like, I think the best thing 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:13.760 for me is just to get back to work. And 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:17.040 it was and that's different than you. And you know, 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.040 Amy's mom struggled and she died of cancer and after 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.919 a long about and of just a roller coaster of 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:31.679 two years of sadness and happiness and uh, every feeling 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.960 you could possibly have. And your mom was so great 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.359 to me and for me, it was it wasn't about 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.520 the show with Amy. I told Ammy go away, like 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.240 just go away. And there was so many times I 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.320 did the show but people wouldn't even know, Like I 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.280 would do the show from Austin or my mom was 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.040 at Indie Anderson and Houston and my heart has studios there, 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.119 and so Bobby would let me go do the show 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.480 and I would spend the night at the hospital and 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:00.920 I'd wake up at you know, three or four in 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.159 the morning there and I'd go to the Houston station. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.640 I'm drive around Houston and the all night, not knowing 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.679 where I was going, and the people in Houston let 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.760 me in like yeah, he would be I don't. And 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:12.639 there would be some days that I absolutely would not. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.520 Then there would be days where I just felt like, Okay, 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.439 I need to keep working to kind of have some 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.680 normalcy and you know, break up the monotony at the 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.760 hospital and stuff. And I was just so grateful for that, 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:27.520 because no there were people at the hospital that I 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.080 would meet and I would come back from doing the 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.399 radio show like thinking, you know if I would be thinking, 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.399 you know something, feeling sorry for myself or something, and 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.040 then I would encounter someone in the waiting room who 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.879 had a loved one that had cancer and they like 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.360 had to quit their job to be there every day. 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:48.760 They had to quit and like with with you and 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.320 you know, are like just you you, that was never 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.640 even an option. You were like family first, and that's 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:58.520 the rolling out to still take care of you first. 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:00.399 Because of that, you being able to be weed it. 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:04.040 We're not us and so there's a time to I 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:06.639 think of back to when I think I just casually, 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.240 like said the Bobby I don't even know. I know, 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:14.040 you know the story. It's so stupid, but um, I 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:16.840 said something like my mom was bored in the waiting 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:18.320 room one day and I was like, SU really wants 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.919 an iPad. And I like showed up at worked the 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.440 next day and Bobby had got my mom and iPad. 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:25.360 And it's not like we couldn't have just I mean, 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.120 my mom could have gotten and it's not it's not 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:31.159 the I thought that it was an iPad. It was 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:35.480 just like I said that, and you listened and you heard, 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.800 and then you just show you just randomly had it 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:40.399 sent to her something or I showed it, but we're 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.159 going to stay or somehow an iPad appeared and like 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.399 we had it was like, you know, she would entertain 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.320 herself for hours at the hospital with the with that iPad, 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.960 like I won't ever that's like a memory I'll never 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.119 forget because it's like something I just said so casually, 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:58.360 and then the next day you had it. And then 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:01.439 she got to play with an iPad basically for like 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:04.040 two years, you know, while she sat up there and 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:06.760 she played her studio goo or whatever you play on iPad. 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.399 And then we do those funny the photo booth, we 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:15.159 take those funny pictures. Yeah, before Snapchat there was photo 0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:18.639 boot filters. But anyway, that was a that was a 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:22.520 moment where I mean, that's that's the Bobby that I 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:24.000 don't know. I mean some of that stuff may or 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:25.840 may not have come up on air, and I don't 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:28.199 even remember certain things that we always talk about. But 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:32.720 like your hands down, you were always like, do what 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:36.199 you gotta do, do what you gotta do. And I 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.359 think that's what will always even if we're not in 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:43.200 the same spot, because who knows what happening a year 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:47.000 or three years, will always like, like I said on 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:48.760 the air, I think today or yesterday I was making 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:50.879
