Speaker 1: It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan I
Speaker 1: Kill just the Bits.
Speaker 2: Good morning, everybody, Welcome to Best Bits. We are catching
Speaker 2: up on the Bobby Bones Show this week, but before
Speaker 2: we get into this, check.
Speaker 3: Out Part one.
Speaker 2: In part three this Weekend with Ray Mundo. Part one
Speaker 2: we break down both of our Las Vegas vacations and
Speaker 2: we talk all about it. And part three we answer
Speaker 2: listener questions what raised job looks like, some parlays, the
Speaker 2: best part about living with Lunchbox, and what he loves
Speaker 2: most about his wife Bay. So check out those and
Speaker 2: for now, if you're here and you want to listen
Speaker 2: to this and catch up on the show, let's do it.
Speaker 2: We had Austin Tanner on our show this week. He's
Speaker 2: the country artist that attended the CMA Awards and got
Speaker 2: accused of bond violation for doing so. So Bobby wanted
Speaker 2: to bring him on hear his side of the story
Speaker 2: because surely he was like, there's no way he just
Speaker 2: came knowing that that would happen. And so Austin got
Speaker 2: to share his side of the story and talk a
Speaker 2: little bit about kind of his case and how he's
Speaker 2: feeling right now.
Speaker 1: Out number seven, there we go on the Bobby Bones Show.
Speaker 4: Now he Austin was a weird when this story kind
Speaker 4: of blew up and you were all over the news.
Speaker 5: Yeah you could say that.
Speaker 4: Well, so you look great, by the way, was that
Speaker 4: your wife?
Speaker 5: It is? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Great, You guys looked a plus amazing And you went
Speaker 4: to the CMAS and I hope you first of all,
Speaker 4: do you have a good time with the CMAS.
Speaker 5: We did. We had a great time.
Speaker 4: And so you knew you shouldn't have left, right or
Speaker 4: were you confused about that you could go to the
Speaker 4: CMA since it was kind of work related.
Speaker 6: We had received permission to lead to go somewhere in
Speaker 6: the first part of June.
Speaker 5: We were in court in the.
Speaker 6: Latter part of June, and I got cast in a
Speaker 6: movie that was shooting down and the Dominican and we
Speaker 6: had asked to leave the country to go to be
Speaker 6: a part of that movie. And the judge you know, said,
Speaker 6: not verbatim, but basically said, I don't want you to
Speaker 6: leave in the country, but I don't have a problem
Speaker 6: with you leaving the state for work.
Speaker 5: And so we took that as we could leave the
Speaker 5: state for work.
Speaker 6: So it was a misunderstanding then it certainly blown out
Speaker 6: of proportion here.
Speaker 5: So I'm not a moron.
Speaker 6: I certainly wouldn't have went and then posted it everywhere
Speaker 6: if I thought I couldn't go.
Speaker 4: I get even if you know you shouldn't go, but
Speaker 4: you still go. And but then when you posted the picture,
Speaker 4: I was like, there must be something to this part
Speaker 4: of it. We don't know, unless you were just so
Speaker 4: proud of how good you guys look. Because then I
Speaker 4: got that too, because you guys did look really good.
Speaker 4: So from when you posted the picture, when did the
Speaker 4: story start to trickle out that like, hey, maybe you
Speaker 4: shouldn't be there.
Speaker 5: I think the post went up.
Speaker 6: I think management put my post up on maybe on
Speaker 6: Thursday or Friday, and I think it came out on
Speaker 6: over the weekend or Monday.
Speaker 5: I honestly can't remember the exact day.
Speaker 4: Were you shocked that it was a story.
Speaker 6: Yeah, honestly, I mean I was shocked more about all
Speaker 6: the national attention it got, you know, I mean it
Speaker 6: got picked up. I think over fifty different platforms picked
Speaker 6: it up, you know.
Speaker 5: So I was yeah, shocked by that. Honestly, Well you
Speaker 5: look good.
Speaker 4: I'll say that one more time. That's what I was
Speaker 4: saying to the show here, like, I don't what he's
Speaker 4: doing while he's thinking it. If you can do it,
Speaker 4: but as a heck of a picture, like if you're
Speaker 4: gonna go down, that's a heck of a picture. Now
Speaker 4: it turns out you were not supposed to leave. Is
Speaker 4: that correct?
Speaker 6: We assumed that we didn't have to file emotion since
Speaker 6: it was said in open court, but that was our misunderstanding.
Speaker 4: Since then, are you wearing an ankle monitor?
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, yes, I am.
Speaker 4: How is it? Does it? Is it annoying? Like do
Speaker 4: you like kick it?
Speaker 7: I don't know it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would think i'd be annoying. And yeah, and
Speaker 4: does it like tell you your blood pressure and stuff
Speaker 4: or like an oral ring? Or is it just like
Speaker 4: letting no?
Speaker 5: No? That would be great.
Speaker 6: Yeah yah, if there was, I could get some bottles
Speaker 6: and stuff, that'd be really cool.
Speaker 5: But no, it doesn't. It doesn't do any of that.
Speaker 4: So when they gave you that to put it on,
Speaker 4: what do they tell.
Speaker 5: You standard stuff?
Speaker 6: I guess, you know, just basically just a band of
Speaker 6: court order, which we would never blatantly disobey one anyway, right,
Speaker 6: But you know, everybody.
Speaker 5: Wants to talk about that part.
Speaker 6: You know, I feel I know for a fact that
Speaker 6: we you know, I'm going to be fully exonerated of
Speaker 6: all of this, and I look forward to that happening soon.
Speaker 6: And uh so, you know we I wouldn't have I
Speaker 6: wouldn't have blatantly disobeyed a court order. Again, you know,
Speaker 6: it was just a misunderstanding. You know, it is what
Speaker 6: it is. But people don't want to talk about They
Speaker 6: want to talk about that. But you know, the that's
Speaker 6: I guess, more newsworthy than then all the good stuff, right,
Speaker 6: all the charities were involved in and all the all
Speaker 6: the things that we get to do. You know, a
Speaker 6: couple of weeks ago, we raised almost four hundred thousand
Speaker 6: dollars for the Christian Service Center, which is going to
Speaker 6: feed you know, families and do some really cool stuff
Speaker 6: in our community. They don't want to talk about our
Speaker 6: involvement with the Child Rescue Initiative, where we where we've
Speaker 6: rescued over two thousand kids from slavery and we take
Speaker 6: care of them to adulthood. They don't want to talk
Speaker 6: about all that stuff. But you know, we that's not
Speaker 6: as newsworthy, I guess.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not as clickable. I get that another question.
Speaker 4: Another question by the ankle bracelet. Did they put it
Speaker 4: on or do you put it on yourself?
Speaker 5: No, they definitely put it on that socks because.
Speaker 4: I leave it a little loose. I'd leave it a
Speaker 4: little loose, and then I'd like.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you go to commedy, you can't get it. You
Speaker 5: can't get it off.
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, it took a day or two to
Speaker 6: kind of get used to it.
Speaker 4: I guess you go to like even a go at
Speaker 4: water park, and you leave your bracelet a little loose,
Speaker 4: you can pass it over to your friend. That's that's
Speaker 4: how I would leave the ankle bracelet because then I
Speaker 4: would like slide it off and like, hey, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: head over here for a while. I met my wife
Speaker 4: wear it for a little bit. So it stays in
Speaker 4: like the little the little radius. So what happened? Why
Speaker 4: are you possibly in trouble?
Speaker 6: I can't get into it because it's an active case.
Speaker 6: But what I can tell you is it's absolutely false.
Speaker 6: And again I'm looking forward to a full vindication, fulletzoneration,
Speaker 6: and hopefully that will be soon. You know, the course
Speaker 6: system doesn't move fast, but I'm ready for it to
Speaker 6: be over with for sure.
Speaker 4: Are you able to play shows at all or just
Speaker 4: you have to play them near the house?
Speaker 5: No, not right now, but hopefully soon.
Speaker 4: Yeah, dang, it kind of would be cool to have
Speaker 4: an ankle bracelet on them, because nothing about me screams
Speaker 4: hardcore nothing. I'm a geek, I'm a nerd all the stuff.
Speaker 4: But if I was like, yeah, I can't go anywhere
Speaker 4: as my ankle break, that, dude, I'll be so that'll
Speaker 4: be so legit because I'd be like, dang, what'd you do?
Speaker 4: And I'd be like, can't talk about an active case?
Speaker 4: Oh tell me that ain't out laws? Don't you much?
Speaker 8: Just love it because you wouldn't have to go anywhere.
Speaker 4: That also would be the secondary reason. They'd be like,
Speaker 4: well you can't leave the state, No, no mindselse can't
Speaker 4: leave the house. And because I don't want to go anywhere, okay.
Speaker 5: Yeah, be an ex provert, it's not that fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, being an introvert. It sounds like a delight to
Speaker 4: have one of them.
Speaker 5: My wife would love it. My wife would love it.
Speaker 8: But not me.
Speaker 4: Does it ever beep or does it just chill?
Speaker 5: No, it's just chill.
Speaker 4: I would like for mind to be just there. Like
Speaker 4: I said, I'd have an alarm on it in the morning,
Speaker 4: wake me up. I would use it multipurpose, you know,
Speaker 4: it'd be it'd be an alarm, it'd be time tap
Speaker 4: of medicine, like a different medicine, not an apple watch
Speaker 4: man feed the dogs. Yeah, oh no, that's what.
Speaker 9: It is, a watch, Austin.
Speaker 8: So it's just tracking where you are. It's not like
Speaker 8: listening to you, right, never know?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Oh well, I mean we I assume it isn't listening.
Speaker 5: I don't have anything.
Speaker 4: Demos in it. Yeah, great point. I'd record demo song.
Speaker 4: I'd push down there and be like, oh this, here's
Speaker 4: one about being a doing hard time in Alabama. Oh man,
Speaker 4: theagle bas like that would be awesome. Okay, look, Austin,
Speaker 4: this has been fun. I feel like you're probably a
Speaker 4: pretty good dude. I don't know what's to help the
Speaker 4: court clears you hope everything's awesome and and the court
Speaker 4: was like, well, we're wrong about that. Otherwise, Oh go ahead.
Speaker 6: No, I was gonna say, there's a couple of other
Speaker 6: things I'd love to talk about if you have a moment.
Speaker 6: We do have a song coming out when this airs,
Speaker 6: it should be out.
Speaker 4: Oh, we talked about it. We know us already there
Speaker 4: been there, done that, buddy already playing.
Speaker 6: Okay, I miss that part. The other thing I wanted
Speaker 6: to mention with the two charities that we're supporting. I
Speaker 6: want to mention on this show. So if anyone that
Speaker 6: goes to the link on my link tree and donates,
Speaker 6: we're going to match up to ten thousand dollars. So
Speaker 6: anybody that goes and donates to either one of the charities,
Speaker 6: Skyll and I want to match up to ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 6: And so I'd really love for you guys to share
Speaker 6: that these are incredible calls. Is they one hundred percent
Speaker 6: of every dollar that's donated goes out to these causes.
Speaker 6: There's one hundred percent volunteer organizations which we love to support,
Speaker 6: and so I really wanted to talk about that.
Speaker 5: You know, our pastor Fred Franks.
Speaker 6: At Allen Church always says love God, love people, and
Speaker 6: the way that you love people is through serving, and
Speaker 6: so I want to use this opportunity to make sure
Speaker 6: that we have some good come out of it.
Speaker 4: So, hey, great, you guys. Follow Austin Austin L. Tenner
Speaker 4: on Instagram Austin. I look forward to seeing you in person, buddy,
Speaker 4: and hopefully right here in this room. That'd be really cool.
Speaker 5: All right, man, Absolutely, we look forward to doing it.
Speaker 4: All right, thanks to Austin. See later, man, you all
Speaker 4: have a great day. I've been handled this. This is what
Speaker 4: he is, allegedly all the words, allegedly system the court.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, court hit me man. He was indicted by
Speaker 4: a grandeury for insurance fraud and more in April. He
Speaker 4: allegedly inflated hours and rates. We talked about this charge
Speaker 4: to a condo association while working as a property loss adjuster.
Speaker 4: He's three undred twenty thousand dollars bond penning his trial.
Speaker 4: All this was supposed to get settled. Okay, So we
Speaker 4: know all that, and I get it. Look, if we're
Speaker 4: in trouble, I'll be saying, hey, don't it's charity too,
Speaker 4: that's you know. I'm sure he believes in it. But
Speaker 4: I would be saying the nextra to me. You know.
Speaker 4: But then again, if I'm like, man's up for a
Speaker 4: church part, don't want to give him money.
Speaker 8: But he also said that he's going to be fully exonerated.
Speaker 4: No, but I would say that too, all those things,
Speaker 4: like all it all makes sense, and I hope he
Speaker 4: didn't do any of it. But I'm just like, if
Speaker 4: I go I'm looking for somewhere, I'm probably gonna hope
Speaker 4: for a second, I.
Speaker 3: Me believe he's innocent by all the charity's involved with,
Speaker 3: Like I.
Speaker 10: Would look at everything good I've done, ye say it all.
Speaker 4: He like, I love more talking about more about the
Speaker 4: good stuff. Me too.
Speaker 3: I mean, he saved a lot of kids, so I
Speaker 3: was like.
Speaker 4: Man, and he probably really has been involved with it.
Speaker 4: I don't take anything away from that, but I'm saying,
Speaker 4: if I were just thinking about it, I'll be like,
Speaker 4: I'm a hole till I'd give my money to him.
Speaker 4: But no, check it out. I hope it's clear, hope
Speaker 4: everything help. It's all wrong, and I hope he comes
Speaker 4: up here one day. And I appreciate him coming on
Speaker 4: the show. But I just needed to say that because
Speaker 4: I felt that, and I think my audience would be
Speaker 4: upset if I didn't say how I really felt, because
Speaker 4: I don't know that he did it. But I don't
Speaker 4: know that he didn't.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number too.
Speaker 2: Lunchbox really loves to confront his neighbors over different scenarios
Speaker 2: and situations. Well, recently, one of his neighbors piled the
Speaker 2: whole bunch of leaves up on the street, and because
Speaker 2: they have street parking, Lunchbox was not happy about it.
Speaker 2: So he went over and said, hey, can we do
Speaker 2: something about this? And it did backfire just a little bit.
Speaker 1: On Lunchbox number six.
Speaker 4: Lunchbox claims that he got into a fight with his
Speaker 4: neighbor or what happened.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I had to confront him because he raked all
Speaker 11: his leaves. But the problem is he just piled them
Speaker 11: in the street. And I'm not talking like a little pile.
Speaker 11: I'm talking a gargantuan pile of leaves. He just put
Speaker 11: them in the street. The problem is we street park,
Speaker 11: so he's taking up two spots on the street because
Speaker 11: he's got a big old pile of leaves.
Speaker 4: Can you not park on the leaves?
Speaker 3: No, these are like leaves up to your knees.
Speaker 4: I still feel like on top of them, I.
Speaker 8: Felt like he used the word gargantuan and not just
Speaker 8: me to me. I don't think that that, Like if
Speaker 8: you were to drive up on top of them, you'd
Speaker 8: be almost like on a.
Speaker 1: It's a big pile.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm looking at the pile here and it's
Speaker 4: a big pile. But okay, So anyway, we have an
Speaker 4: audio of lunch blocked in front of his neighbor that
Speaker 4: you recorded this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you have a good holiday?
Speaker 12: Man?
Speaker 7: Yeah, he was good. He was good.
Speaker 11: How my tears, it's you know, great, But I mean
Speaker 11: I did notice that.
Speaker 3: I guess you decided to, you know, rake the leaves
Speaker 3: yard looks great, but oh yeah, they were lots and
Speaker 3: lots of leaves. I had to get him off my grass.
Speaker 7: I didn't wanted to die.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, but you just piled them in the street
Speaker 11: like I mean's.
Speaker 3: Just this city comes and don't get him or blow
Speaker 3: away beside. I just it was by that that.
Speaker 7: Well, I want to hurt your feeling.
Speaker 3: But it's a junk car.
Speaker 11: You haven't moved in months, so I just thought it'd
Speaker 11: be a good spot for him.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, the car doesn't work, and I've
Speaker 11: told you that before that it but.
Speaker 3: It does just sit there. But I just didn't think
Speaker 3: are you going to move in eventually? But I don't
Speaker 3: think the leaves in the street.
Speaker 11: I mean, if that's I mean, it looks bad, but yeah,
Speaker 11: I mean it's kind of annoying.
Speaker 3: A couple of weeks, it'll be fine.
Speaker 7: It'll be fine by New Year's or something like that.
Speaker 4: Okay, a lot of stuff to unpack here.
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, I feel like I just watched like
Speaker 8: an awkward scene, you know, like in the office or
Speaker 8: on the office.
Speaker 4: So let's go to the leaves first. Does the city
Speaker 4: come and get rid of the leaves? I think I
Speaker 4: know then to be bagged.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they just scoop them off the street.
Speaker 4: Okay. Number two the junk car is talking about his lunchbox,
Speaker 4: his car the Ultimate. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did pile him up like right behind it.
Speaker 4: Maybe this is a passive aggressive way for him to say,
Speaker 4: don't judge me when you left your junk car on
Speaker 4: the side of the road.
Speaker 8: And also when anybody uses the line not to be
Speaker 8: rude or I don't want to hurt your feelings.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're usally they're gonna hurt your feelings. Yeah, so
Speaker 4: would do you move and get rid of your car
Speaker 4: for him to move the leaves? I mean, because it
Speaker 4: looks like you're both hogging a bunch of space on
Speaker 4: the street a junk car and leaves are just piled there.
Speaker 3: I mean the car has not moved.
Speaker 11: I mean it is pretty gross, and I get it,
Speaker 11: and it does need to move, it needs to be
Speaker 11: taken care of. But the leaves, I don't know. It
Speaker 11: just seems like it's crazy to just throw them in
Speaker 11: the street. Like, am I missing something?
Speaker 8: Well, when you say your car needs to be taken
Speaker 8: care of, what do you mean? Do you just want
Speaker 8: to tow it away and gone forever? You can gift
Speaker 8: him that for Christmas or something?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was like he said, yeah.
Speaker 4: It's going to cost more to tow than it's worth,
Speaker 4: but we have to get rid of it. Remember when
Speaker 4: he went and took it in and got an appraisal,
Speaker 4: how much like four and twenty five dollars for the
Speaker 4: whole car?
Speaker 8: What if we sell it for parts?
Speaker 11: But now it would have to be a donation, like
Speaker 11: I'd have to do it to like a car like
Speaker 11: that does cars for people.
Speaker 4: I think the guy knew you had no basis to
Speaker 4: stand on. If you're like, hey, the leaves are in
Speaker 4: the street, and he's like, so is your junk car?
Speaker 4: Check checkmate? Yep, move your car, or you could really
Speaker 4: do the passive aggressive thing and bag the leaves.
Speaker 3: Oh well, no, no, that's not passive aggressive. That's getting rid
Speaker 3: of them for him.
Speaker 4: It is, but it's also just showing him we if
Speaker 4: you're not gonna do it, I guess I'll do it.
Speaker 4: And he's not gonna like that. That's like I'm gonna
Speaker 4: get you in a way you never thought you would
Speaker 4: even be bothered by being God.
Speaker 11: Oh, I think that's me doing work for him that
Speaker 11: he didn't do. And I don't I thought you were
Speaker 11: gonna say, throw him back in his yard. That would
Speaker 11: be aggressive. Yes, So what's the plan? What are you
Speaker 11: gonna do?
Speaker 3: I mean what I do. I've been doing for a
Speaker 3: couple of days.
Speaker 11: I've let the kids play in it, so they kind
Speaker 11: of throw the leaves and it helps like disperse them
Speaker 11: a little bit.
Speaker 4: So you're putting them back more into the road or both.
Speaker 4: When are you getting rid of the car?
Speaker 12: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to let go.
Speaker 4: It's not it's he's metal.
Speaker 8: We've all said buy the cars that we've loved everyone.
Speaker 4: And that's just parked on the street and it's taking
Speaker 4: up spaces. That's okay, yeah, and I.
Speaker 13: Still got to clean it out though, And the problem
Speaker 13: is now, like when you've put the leaves in the
Speaker 13: trunk and dry it off, and oh he doesn't dry
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, sorry, sorry drunk car. Well but I did
Speaker 13: a pretty good job. Like I'll let him know.
Speaker 4: No, really, I think you think you're a lot more
Speaker 4: aggressive and stronger than you are us know how that
Speaker 4: turns out.
Speaker 8: Oh, he should get his other neighbor on it. That
Speaker 8: really takes care of business.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that guy, he does have a neighbor and
Speaker 4: that takes care of it. Saves lives. That's sure.
Speaker 3: We're not talking about Alpha.
Speaker 1: It's the best Bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 2: Number two George Bird stop by the studio to talk
Speaker 2: about his almost next number one song, Cowboy Songs, and
Speaker 2: he brought his wife Kara in with him and they
Speaker 2: talked all about their college love story and how George
Speaker 2: was a smurf like dressed as a smurf when he
Speaker 2: met his wife. Crazy, funny, adorable story, and we also
Speaker 2: heard all about how she supports him in his career.
Speaker 1: Number five on The Bobby Bones Show.
Speaker 4: Now George burge George Burg and his wife Caera, I
Speaker 4: look who's here? What's up? Guys? Hey guys, George, Hey Kara,
Speaker 4: Hey show. You did not know you were gonna be on.
Speaker 4: I appreciate you coming here.
Speaker 9: No, I didn't. I thought I was just the driver
Speaker 9: this morning.
Speaker 4: I know. And I love your husband very much, so
Speaker 4: I feel like I can eliminate him from our conversation.
Speaker 4: You and I can just have this person. And you've
Speaker 4: been to the house, so we're cool. We're all good.
Speaker 4: So don't be up. Don't be irritated at me when
Speaker 4: I ask these questions, did you ever think he wouldn't
Speaker 4: make it?
Speaker 14: Well, it's been ten years in Nashville. It's definitely been
Speaker 14: a roller coaster. I wouldn't say that I didn't think
Speaker 14: he was going to make it or couldn't make it.
Speaker 14: I think there were times that we were like definitely
Speaker 14: having to reevaluate, what did the next five years look like?
Speaker 9: What do the next ten years look like?
Speaker 4: Yeah, in a way of like he has all the
Speaker 4: talent in the world, but this talent is weird. Like
Speaker 4: the most talented people ever sometimes don't make it. The
Speaker 4: least talent to people sometimes next thing you know, they're
Speaker 4: massive stars, and I just wonder, like if a family, Yes,
Speaker 4: there'd be a lot of years. He was grinding, making
Speaker 4: the little to no money, and you're at home with
Speaker 4: the kids, going like, what's the deal here?
Speaker 14: I know it's it's a wild ride. I will say
Speaker 14: we have never stopped dreaming. But I love that George
Speaker 14: is also like a smart business guy, and he's smart
Speaker 14: and he leads our family well. So there have been
Speaker 14: tough conversations, but I would say I'm always the one
Speaker 14: pushing him to not start.
Speaker 4: George, let him give up.
Speaker 15: She is being humble. There was I mean, you don't.
Speaker 15: This is the business where you make nothing until you
Speaker 15: make everything. There's not like an in between where you're
Speaker 15: making like what you would make it a comfy desk
Speaker 15: job or anything like that.
Speaker 16: It's like it's zero dollars until you're rich.
Speaker 15: And so she was hustling selling real estate, raising kids
Speaker 15: and you know, I'm on the road playing dive bars
Speaker 15: to nobody. And uh, she never wore me out about it.
Speaker 15: She always believed in it. She always knew it was
Speaker 15: gonna happen. And like, I carried a lot of guilt
Speaker 15: about that, especially when we had young kids and I'm
Speaker 15: the you know, a husband not really providing much and
Speaker 15: chasing a dream and very selfishly one sided on that.
Speaker 15: And so now that we're sitting here like on the
Speaker 15: cusp of having a second hit and like everything coming
Speaker 15: together and uh, we got to write Walk the CMA
Speaker 15: Red Carpet together this year, and like, you know, seeing
Speaker 15: the fruits of all that, it's pretty special.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna play a cowboy song in just a second. George,
Speaker 4: would you mind me sharing a story with your wife,
Speaker 4: a story that you told me that I don't think
Speaker 4: you would mind me sharing with your wife. I just
Speaker 4: need a contum it. I know it's a good story.
Speaker 4: I would love that. I just would love a confirmation.
Speaker 4: Georgia birthday was recently, so George likes my birthday. Come
Speaker 4: with me, and I'm like, no doubt, drop everything we
Speaker 4: do Georgia Birthday. And so George and I are together
Speaker 4: and Carrie talks about you glowingly all the time. It's
Speaker 4: all the time, even when you're not around. And that's
Speaker 4: how you know, is how somebody really feels when they
Speaker 4: talk about how they talk about somebody when they're not around.
Speaker 4: And he said, we're getting ready to do a lot
Speaker 4: of the stuff that and He was super excited. He
Speaker 4: hasn't really been able to do, which is like be
Speaker 4: celebrated at awards and Songwriting Awards and the CMA's And
Speaker 4: he said, you know, we're doing the CMA Red Carpet
Speaker 4: and we're talking about that, and he goes ker put
Speaker 4: the dress on that she's wearing, Oh buddy, And I
Speaker 4: thought that was like, as you know, as funny as
Speaker 4: it is, but also I was like, man, that's a
Speaker 4: husband that like really loves his wife. Because you guys
Speaker 4: have been together for how long?
Speaker 16: Since we were eighteen?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 9: I think fifteen.
Speaker 4: And he was still like gushing at the fact that
Speaker 4: you had put on this dress and how great you looked,
Speaker 4: and how excited. It wasn't about him, It was about
Speaker 4: you getting to go and do something that he hoped
Speaker 4: you would think was awesome.
Speaker 14: Yes, that's true. He actually picked my dress. I sent
Speaker 14: him options.
Speaker 4: He didn't tell me that part.
Speaker 9: Well, he voted, He voted, My vote always went. I
Speaker 9: let him. I let him choose.
Speaker 15: No chance she would have let me pick it out,
Speaker 15: but I could like ac options. Yeah, he's going together
Speaker 15: in like March. She kind of guided me. There were
Speaker 15: no wrong choices, but yeah, too.
Speaker 4: How was the right car? How was the CEM I
Speaker 4: speak at the right carpetal thing awesome.
Speaker 14: I love nothing more than to watch him interview because
Speaker 14: I feel like he's just really good at it and
Speaker 14: to see him have such like genuine connections with all
Speaker 14: of those people in the room that like know and
Speaker 14: just respect him, and I feel like to see him
Speaker 14: belong in that environment is really something special.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 16: It was definitely surreal. Like I remember, we're waiting.
Speaker 15: When you get there, there's a step and repeat where
Speaker 15: everybody takes like their CMA picture, and it was us,
Speaker 15: and it was Cody Johnson and his wife behind us,
Speaker 15: which Cody is obviously like another level of fame. I'm
Speaker 15: waiting to get my picture taken. And I turn around
Speaker 15: and Kara's made best friends with Cody Johnson's wife and
Speaker 15: they're just chatting it up there on the carpet and
Speaker 15: she's in her head to toe gown and we're you know,
Speaker 15: lights and carpets and everything, and I was looking behind her.
Speaker 16: I was like, this is pretty cool about this. This
Speaker 16: is different.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So basically you got two number ones? Are you playing
Speaker 4: shows now where you headlined? And they're buying tickets to
Speaker 4: see you, and if so, is that cool? Is that
Speaker 4: a change up?
Speaker 15: So that's very new, But yes, it's happening, especially has
Speaker 15: been towards the end of the year, and I still
Speaker 15: have a lot of like hard to believe that we're
Speaker 15: here feelings. And so even when we, you know, are
Speaker 15: having success and we've been going out and playing these
Speaker 15: sold out shows with headliners as openers, now that we're
Speaker 15: headlining shows ourselves with our name on the bill, I
Speaker 15: still have anxiety all day until I walk in there
Speaker 15: and see the crowd. But we've been selling out shows
Speaker 15: as a headlin, which is I mean, they're obviously smaller rooms,
Speaker 15: but you know, to go to cities that I've never
Speaker 15: been to before and have a thousand people show up
Speaker 15: and buy tickets, that's not something I'm used to, and
Speaker 15: it's it's a really really cool feeling.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Caro, what does he get most anxious about?
Speaker 14: George kind of like flies by the seat of his
Speaker 14: pants and last minute, loves to like pack the morning
Speaker 14: of the trip, so I kind of know to expect
Speaker 14: that he.
Speaker 4: Gives, So you get anxious about him doing that?
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, yes, he's like have you seen those jeans?
Speaker 9: And I'm like, I know where everything is.
Speaker 14: He if if I'm not there, he calls me and
Speaker 14: he's like, do you know where this is?
Speaker 15: I leave for Canada this afternoon and I packed last
Speaker 15: night and Carol walked in and she's like, are you
Speaker 15: actually packing the night before?
Speaker 16: I was like, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 9: Very lad too, because he's going to the airport right
Speaker 9: after this.
Speaker 4: On the way to the airport, It's like, do I
Speaker 4: need a coat.
Speaker 9: The weather?
Speaker 4: Ye? Miss I didn't make a coach shuit. I brought
Speaker 4: a coat. George and his wife Kara or in studio, Kara,
Speaker 4: can you tell me the story about how you guys met?
Speaker 9: The real story?
Speaker 4: Go for it?
Speaker 9: What do you mean the room is there in college? Like?
Speaker 9: How descriptive can I be?
Speaker 4: Do you have a fake one though that you tell people?
Speaker 9: We just are like, oh, we met in college, okay.
Speaker 16: You know the real one will sound fake.
Speaker 14: The real one is like we were at a costume
Speaker 14: party and we were eighteen years old and he was
Speaker 14: in a fraternity and he was a pledge, and so
Speaker 14: he was dressed as a smurf, his whole body painted blue,
Speaker 14: and I was in some like cute eighties dress because
Speaker 14: it was like eightyes, theme night, but if you were
Speaker 14: a freshman, they gave you like a prank that you
Speaker 14: had to dress up as. And he was a smurf
Speaker 14: and like no shirt painted blue. I have a picture somewhere.
Speaker 16: Yeah, and he.
Speaker 4: Had surf is like really good looking though that's tough.
Speaker 7: He was.
Speaker 9: He was kind of weird and funny.
Speaker 16: You know, she's always like me for a person.
Speaker 14: But we were like it wasn't until later in college
Speaker 14: that's when we first met. And then we went on
Speaker 14: some date parties together.
Speaker 4: And what was the first date? What was the first
Speaker 4: date party? I think we can call this a date.
Speaker 15: So next to the fraternity house that I was in,
Speaker 15: I brought her to a party where eighteen were freshmen.
Speaker 15: We go out, have a party, hang out together that night,
Speaker 15: and I took her to Jack in the Box after
Speaker 15: the party and she got a chicken tenders and Caeso
Speaker 15: fries and I immediately fell in love after that.
Speaker 8: Girl, Yes, your late night meal is your first date.
Speaker 9: We kind of roch a lot of fun in college.
Speaker 16: Yeah, just a one on one date that Jack in
Speaker 16: the Box perfect.
Speaker 9: Well, it's talking.
Speaker 14: We dated all through college, like we celebrated our our
Speaker 14: eighteenth or nineteenth birthdays together and we never broke up,
Speaker 14: I mean never once, And so our wedding was so
Speaker 14: much fun because it was all of our college friends
Speaker 14: that dated and then of course broke up and and
Speaker 14: still like we were, we were solid.
Speaker 9: You have all together.
Speaker 4: You have a left handed child. He lefty, So I'm
Speaker 4: gonna let you say. But George was accusing I'm left handed,
Speaker 4: and he was like, we spent a time with the wife.
Speaker 16: I was like, Bobby, how they both went.
Speaker 4: George like, I needs that is not genetic?
Speaker 7: Is that for me?
Speaker 16: They were in big glasses now.
Speaker 4: Beer beer truck truck. Because I would like for you
Speaker 4: just to reinforce a story about who else is a
Speaker 4: songwriter on that song and who else got paid for
Speaker 4: that song that you wrote.
Speaker 15: That was the song that kind of opened the door
Speaker 15: for me. I had been chasing it forever and really
Speaker 15: hadn't had much success. And I get on TikTok based
Speaker 15: on some advice from Clay Walker actually, and the first
Speaker 15: video I see is this girl and she's making fun
Speaker 15: of country music kind of lightheartedly, and she's like, it
Speaker 15: ain't nothing but beer, beer truck truck and girls and
Speaker 15: tight jeans and being a country music songwriter. I was like, well,
Speaker 15: it'd be cool if I had defended country music and
Speaker 15: kind of made a song out of it and showed
Speaker 15: her that I could even write a real song out
Speaker 15: of that. And so I wrote it as a rebuttal,
Speaker 15: just kind of a tongue in cheek vers in a chorus,
Speaker 15: and I posted it ended up going super viral, got
Speaker 15: me a record deal and opened a lot of doors
Speaker 15: for me. And so I sent her a message and
Speaker 15: I was like, hey, you know, I wrote a song
Speaker 15: out of the video that you made, and I want
Speaker 15: to make you a songwriter on it because you are
Speaker 15: what inspired it. And she ended up hitting me back,
Speaker 15: and she was an elementary school music teacher just outside
Speaker 15: of North Carolina, and she said she grew up listening
Speaker 15: to country music and had gotten away from it, but
Speaker 15: loves it again now because she's been getting royalty checks
Speaker 15: in the mail.
Speaker 4: So she's a teacher and you ever have the money?
Speaker 4: Like that's like, good character, George, guy, Like that's cool.
Speaker 4: Kara's here, George's wife. Give me the three best qualities
Speaker 4: about George.
Speaker 14: I can't say fearless in this industry, but I love
Speaker 14: that you don't let fear stop you. He's so he's courageous,
Speaker 14: he's very loving, like to his family, we're the most
Speaker 14: important thing in his world.
Speaker 9: And so that's probably my favorite thing about you. And
Speaker 9: then you're encouraging.
Speaker 14: I was just laughing telling I've been back there that
Speaker 14: I think I need you more than you need me,
Speaker 14: because they were really playing up the supportive wife thing
Speaker 14: and I was like, oh, but he's got a big
Speaker 14: role to fill it home.
Speaker 4: And then now, what's the most annoying things about Georgia
Speaker 4: that if you you could improve, you're gonna be cowboy boots?
Speaker 14: Like there's like twelve pairs of cowboy boots just at
Speaker 14: our room, around the bed, all not.
Speaker 4: Even organized in the closet. You're saying, there's just twelve Like.
Speaker 9: Shud takes the shoes off wherever they come.
Speaker 4: Off, Yes, and the cowboy boots are bigger in there,
Speaker 4: they're everywhere.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So that one's pretty good.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 15: Our house is a is a land mine field of
Speaker 15: cowboys two crocs yeah between the boys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, that's number one way.
Speaker 14: What else is annoying about you? That you don't know
Speaker 14: where anything is located in our house?
Speaker 9: So he does. He truly does call me and he's like,
Speaker 9: have you seen like my toothbrush?
Speaker 7: You like?
Speaker 9: Oh like the basics, the basics, yep, which I will say.
Speaker 4: He's on the on the go a lot, so he
Speaker 4: has just like but the toothbrush that, let's be honest,
Speaker 4: that's like someone you should know where it is. That's
Speaker 4: that's like the sink.
Speaker 16: I got to give her a prop.
Speaker 15: She like, the house is always so Matt Stell, who's
Speaker 15: also a country singer, is one of my best friends,
Speaker 15: and our girls were out of town the time, and
Speaker 15: he doesn't have a living girlfriend yet. He's been dating
Speaker 15: a girl and I think they are going to move
Speaker 15: in together.
Speaker 16: They're amazing.
Speaker 15: But anyways, he had come over to the house and
Speaker 15: we were gonna grill steaks and uh he goes into
Speaker 15: the pantry and I just hear him go oh my goodness,
Speaker 15: and I come running. I think something is wrong, and
Speaker 15: he goes, is this what a house that a woman
Speaker 15: lives in looks like? Because everything is like so tidy
Speaker 15: in the house and labeled. So I thought I was
Speaker 15: gonna find the toothbrush in the microwave or something.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness. Okay, one other care, you gotta have it,
Speaker 4: give me three? What else? An annoying thing about your.
Speaker 14: Husband of probably the ironing, Like he'll be ready to
Speaker 14: go out the door, needs to leave in five minutes,
Speaker 14: and he's like, should this shirt be ironed?
Speaker 9: Does this look wrinkled?
Speaker 4: When there's not really enough time to fix it unless
Speaker 4: you do it right, then yes, this is kind of.
Speaker 9: The last minute polish.
Speaker 10: She like the woman's touch, exactly right.
Speaker 4: So Texas and the college football playoffs? How you feel?
Speaker 16: I feel good?
Speaker 15: Was was rough losing to Georgie to to get here,
Speaker 15: but I like the way our draw shook out. And
Speaker 15: you know, anytime you get a chance to make a
Speaker 15: run of the national championship, life's good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll pass from Arkansas. We're not allowed to like Texas.

Speaker 4: He also went to Yeah, yeah, I hear you, Kara.
Speaker 4: George was a great athlete. He is a great athlete.
Speaker 4: Like he's a great golfer, probably best golfer in all
Speaker 4: the country music. He doesn't say that I'll say that.
Speaker 4: That gets me in trouble. But with my other friends
Speaker 4: who play golf, if I'm being honest. Uh, but uh,
Speaker 4: I would say mid pickleball player. Does he ever come
Speaker 4: home and complain that he can't beat me and pick
Speaker 4: a ball?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 4: Okay, good, Yes, I'll let you haunt. I have no
Speaker 4: other questions. Just want to end with that.

Speaker 16: She was sitting next to me when this happened.
Speaker 4: It had nothing to do with beer.
Speaker 15: I was scrolling on Instagram and I had posted a
Speaker 15: cover of Gary Allen and I don't think Bones even
Speaker 15: followed me. Now I knew at the time, but knew me. Yeah,
Speaker 15: and he commented, this is good. You should come into
Speaker 15: the show. And I about fell out of my chair.
Speaker 4: It was an accoustic it was Gary Allen. Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: what you need to fix your story, broke berber truck
Speaker 4: truck was kind of lying. I'm just kidding, just kidding,
Speaker 4: but that is what it was. He played that. I
Speaker 4: was like, hey, come play that on the show, because
Speaker 4: I love when people like respect the artists before them,
Speaker 4: and I have a passion for it and like play it.
Speaker 4: I was like, dude, that's so good. And he came
Speaker 4: up and I was like, do one of yours, and
Speaker 4: then he did one of his and then luckily, you know,
Speaker 4: people heard it and knew I knew crap except give
Speaker 4: him an opportunity to sing.
Speaker 15: And people heard it and they had a flashback I
Speaker 15: had forgotten about. You were sitting next to me on
Speaker 15: the couch and I go, don't.
Speaker 4: Lump me in with beer, beer, trug truck bro Okay,
Speaker 4: I like the stuff.
Speaker 12: There he is.
Speaker 4: That's our friend and yours George Burrs, George. Good to
Speaker 4: see there. He is George Carre. All right, by buddy.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 2: Number two, Eddie came in with a pretty big accusation
Speaker 2: of Amy. He thinks she has been scammed so much
Speaker 2: that now she is scamming other people, particularly the show
Speaker 2: in our show's group chat. So he's gonna bring this
Speaker 2: down for you and the Navy will be like, okay, no,
Speaker 2: this is what really happened.
Speaker 4: Number four, Hey, what's up, guys. I think Amy has
Speaker 4: been scam so much that she is now a scammer.
Speaker 17: I got a text, actually, we all got a text,
Speaker 17: the whole BBS group, which I think, I don't think
Speaker 17: you're in You're not in the text. We all got
Speaker 17: a text from Amy and it was just written weird,
Speaker 17: like not how Amy talks. But she goes, Hi, we
Speaker 17: have a listener that's trying to adopt from Haiti and
Speaker 17: there's an issue for about fifty families. So they created
Speaker 17: a petition and can you all just please take the
Speaker 17: time today to sign it real quick and help this family.
Speaker 4: Is there a link? There's a link that scam scam
Speaker 4: how it's written and she's close to everybody here, there's
Speaker 4: no need to write it all hot.
Speaker 8: And the link the link is if you check the link,
Speaker 8: it's changed dot org.
Speaker 4: Check that's legit.
Speaker 7: The link the linker says.
Speaker 8: Change dot org and it is one of our listeners
Speaker 8: and they're trying to adopt.
Speaker 4: But I think the best way to have done that
Speaker 4: would have been to text people individually, be like, hey, yo.
Speaker 13: Why text individually, not like scam to the group something
Speaker 13: to say something when we're.
Speaker 7: In the room and.
Speaker 8: They had already left, and I just thought like, oh,
Speaker 8: it would be cool if they signed this because it's
Speaker 8: a listener that I mean, Haiti is in such crisis
Speaker 8: right now and there's these children that are not families.
Speaker 4: Say guilt that you're doing guilt to get out of Well.
Speaker 8: I'm just saying the petition signing it would help them.
Speaker 4: I hear you, But that's not the point of this,
Speaker 4: because I agree with you everything that's all terrible, But
Speaker 4: their point.
Speaker 8: Is not about how I sent it sounded very much
Speaker 8: like me and actually would help it not seem like
Speaker 8: a scammer, because I'm like, hey.
Speaker 4: Also, why would you not say something in the room
Speaker 4: like cause they have okay, wait till tomorrow. It wasn't
Speaker 4: like you had twelve hours or there's no hurry sign this.
Speaker 8: I was like, so you mean, can I resend it
Speaker 8: to y'all now that nothing y'all know about it?
Speaker 4: Yes, as so many scam alers.
Speaker 8: But I also wouldn't I get Okay, I get it now,
Speaker 8: I do get how.
Speaker 4: That notized it like a minimizing any of the real
Speaker 4: life issue of it. But if that just comes from
Speaker 4: the person who could scammed the most. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 4: written like that group text with.
Speaker 8: A K there looking back now hearing it back, I
Speaker 8: can see now how y'all maybe thought it was a scam.
Speaker 8: But I am telling you now it is not.
Speaker 10: She wrote high with like five eyes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know she never does that. I do that. Hi, listen,
Speaker 4: this is when Amy sent me, Hi, my cousin is
Speaker 4: the Prince of Nigeria and needs a bank account.
Speaker 10: Don't click it, y'all, suck.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 3: Number two.
Speaker 2: Co Wetzel Stapfvier's studio for the first time and he
Speaker 2: shared all about what it's been like for him to
Speaker 2: start having some mainstream success and touring and Grandma's that
Speaker 2: he says are now coming to his shows. And also
Speaker 2: he had somebody work on his house and that person
Speaker 2: stole from him in a huge way and how that
Speaker 2: all transpired.
Speaker 9: So really cool interview. Here it is right now.
Speaker 1: This is co Wetzel in studio number two. There we
Speaker 1: go on the Bobby Bones show.
Speaker 4: Now, Co Wessel, Co, when you were coming up, someone
Speaker 4: said to me, they said, hey, what songs do you
Speaker 4: want code to play? And I said, well, and I
Speaker 4: feel like, you know, this is like my house, that's
Speaker 4: my domain. I choose what happens and I said, I
Speaker 4: will let Co tell me what he wants me to
Speaker 4: listen to. That's what I said, because that's what that's
Speaker 4: what I said. I said, I will not tell Co
Speaker 4: what to play. CO will tell me what I want
Speaker 4: to listen to. And I feel like that's where we
Speaker 4: are in our relationship.
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure, as respect I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Nothing I saw Co. Co and I were in the
Speaker 4: same place, guys a few weeks ago, no matter what
Speaker 4: to play?
Speaker 7: Where was that?
Speaker 4: Well? You know me, it wasn't it. And I could
Speaker 4: I could identify Cove from a mile away. I could
Speaker 4: hear where there's football on the screen ahead of us. Good,
Speaker 4: but I knew it was Co from a mile away.
Speaker 4: And my wife's like, I think there's a pretty rowdy
Speaker 4: country singer up there, And there there he was Co Wezel. Dude,
Speaker 4: I'm a big fan.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really good to see you again. Is it
Speaker 4: weird to have main like wild mainstream success now, you know?
Speaker 8: Not?
Speaker 7: Not a whole lot of change, to be honest with you,
Speaker 7: it's kind of just the same.
Speaker 4: You don't feel it because it's it looks different, but
Speaker 4: you're in it, so maybe you don't see it. Being
Speaker 4: so different.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I think we're just kind of we've
Speaker 7: been so busy with everything. It's just kind of I
Speaker 7: haven't really stepped back and taking a water view of it.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I think it's nothing's really changed for us
Speaker 7: except for less time getting the hunt.
Speaker 4: Anymore Grandma any like Grandma's coming to shows? Now, are
Speaker 4: you starting to see like the honestly?
Speaker 7: Uh? But they they come to hear like high Road
Speaker 7: and you know, sweet dreams and stuff off the new
Speaker 7: Red and then you know, we have our rowdy show
Speaker 7: with all the older stuff and a lot of f bombs,
Speaker 7: and their eyes are about this big round and like
Speaker 7: what do we get ourselves into?
Speaker 4: They start flashing you all the grandma's get into it.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, and they're not like they're not like biker
Speaker 7: grandma's you know that would flash us. It's like old
Speaker 7: nice fatigue ladies. And then they're just kind of like,
Speaker 7: oh we leaves, We stay here.
Speaker 4: So that's kind of they probably just moved to the
Speaker 4: back a little bit just in case they want to leave.
Speaker 4: You know, you have been doing this at a high
Speaker 4: level for a long time. But I would compare a
Speaker 4: bit too, because I'm a big fan of Red Clay
Speaker 4: Strays and I've had I had them in six months
Speaker 4: ago and I was like, guys, like I didn't know
Speaker 4: you existed, and I didn't feel like you guys weren't
Speaker 4: doing dances on TikTok, but like somebody was smart enough
Speaker 4: just record you playing music. Yeah, And so I became
Speaker 4: a fan through TikTok, but they were they were not
Speaker 4: a TikTok artist. You are not a TikTok artist because
Speaker 4: you've been doing this, But do you feel that that
Speaker 4: has been a different instrument for people that like your
Speaker 4: kind of music to then love you?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Absolutely, I think you know the way everything's going now,
Speaker 7: Like you said, with the TikTok stuff, it's kind of
Speaker 7: you kind of having what they call the overnight successes,
Speaker 7: and it's definitely a real deal nowadays. Hell, I think
Speaker 7: I'll get thrown in that conversation as well, But they
Speaker 7: don't see the ten years that we came up and
Speaker 7: you know, been grinding it out in Texas and all
Speaker 7: over the place. So uh, I mean, they can definitely
Speaker 7: definitely definitely relate to us, I guess as much as
Speaker 7: a TikTok artist, But I don't know.
Speaker 4: But I think TikTok artists is a weird thing. That's
Speaker 4: why I didn't want to put you in that that
Speaker 4: club because red clay strays are not that right, That's
Speaker 4: just somebody that my algorithm feeds me things like you
Speaker 4: like Marcus King, like it's stuff like that. Where then
Speaker 4: I'm going, oh, And also I was like, oh, coach nuts. Well,
Speaker 4: that's why I was also warned. Is the only I
Speaker 4: told code this in my house. He was the only
Speaker 4: artist I've ever been warned about coming to my house.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, what's gonna do steal? Like why not?
Speaker 4: Like what's about to happen? And then it came over
Speaker 4: and it was like and sure, you know, I'm a
Speaker 4: little more muscular, little little meaner, but you know, we
Speaker 4: definitely Like after you left, I was like, that's my dude.
Speaker 4: Did he take anything? I don't not that I know
Speaker 4: of it yet. I haven't done like a full inventory.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay, So I'm gonna ask you a
Speaker 4: couple of questions. We spend an hour together, so I
Speaker 4: already know everything I didn't know, but I got some
Speaker 4: stuff that I wrote down. This is a little little
Speaker 4: deeper stuff because I feel like you get pigeonholed into
Speaker 4: that's just crazy co where I know, after spending some time,
Speaker 4: whether you like, that's an intimate thing an hour, just
Speaker 4: like sharing live stuff. I feel like you're not offering
Speaker 4: up your deep emotions on stage, but I think you're
Speaker 4: a very emotional guy with many layers. So I wrote
Speaker 4: these questions down to you, Koe, because this is what
Speaker 4: I really want to know. What has gone really well
Speaker 4: in your life so far?
Speaker 7: What's gone really well for me in my life? I
Speaker 7: guess growth honestly is just kind of from where I was,
Speaker 7: you know, starting out, you know, musically, as far as
Speaker 7: it doesn't have to be musically, But I think for me,
Speaker 7: it's kind of going through all the rough patches that
Speaker 7: I have in my life and then getting to where
Speaker 7: I am today and being able to look back on
Speaker 7: them and look back on the you know, the things
Speaker 7: that I did wrong, and you know, learning from the
Speaker 7: mistakes that I've made, you know, and that's helped me
Speaker 7: musically as a writer, as an artist, as a person.
Speaker 4: So question two deep questions with co. If your next
Speaker 4: five years were a chapter in a book, what would
Speaker 4: that chapter be about.
Speaker 7: About how the Empire started to grow the start of
Speaker 7: the show. Basically, I think working up to this ultimate goal,
Speaker 7: this ultimate goal, and then getting there and then kind
Speaker 7: of starting to fill out all the kinks, you know,
Speaker 7: layering everything out and be like, all right, step one
Speaker 7: is pretty much over with how everything started to come
Speaker 7: to fruition.
Speaker 4: Final intimate question with Cole what makes you feel most
Speaker 4: alive alone time? Yeah, to recharge, Yeah, just to kind.
Speaker 7: Of reflect on everything, like since like, I've been out
Speaker 7: in the woods a lot here in the last couple
Speaker 7: of weeks, and so that's I was talking to my
Speaker 7: parents or family the other day and I was just like,
Speaker 7: you know, whatever, whenever I'm out in the woods and
Speaker 7: i'm mountain, I'm hunting or doing whatever, it just kind
Speaker 7: of gives me a lot of time to reflect on
Speaker 7: everything and kind of kind of reset everything. And uh, yeah,
Speaker 7: So I enjoyed my alone time a lot because I'm
Speaker 7: always around people, even whenever I'm back home, you know,
Speaker 7: so get to spend time away from all the craziness
Speaker 7: and stuff that's kind of came came along with where
Speaker 7: we're at right now. Yeah, It's it's pretty special to me.
Speaker 4: So do you feel pressure to be Cowetzel at times
Speaker 4: whenever you're doing private life.
Speaker 7: Not really. You know, my mom, she she always wants
Speaker 7: to be taking out to dinner and stuff. And you know,
Speaker 7: I know, and I do sometimes, but I don't know,
Speaker 7: it's sometimes it's kind of overwhelming at times, but it's
Speaker 7: not terrible about it. Like I've always said, you know,
Speaker 7: I'd rather it be that than to have nobody listen
Speaker 7: to what I got to say. And you know, just
Speaker 7: sitting at the house.
Speaker 4: Well, your parents, you have to be specific what they
Speaker 4: do growing up, when you were growing up.
Speaker 7: My dad he had a lot of different jobs. He
Speaker 7: drove trucks. He's worked road construction for the last twenty
Speaker 7: years or so. My mom she worked for the bank
Speaker 7: for a while. She's been with the school for I
Speaker 7: don't know, close to twenty years now. So yeah, it's
Speaker 7: kind of skipped around all jobs.
Speaker 4: And I asked that to set up this next question,
Speaker 4: and I'm happy to bleep out the next question, but
Speaker 4: and it was to say that you are not a
Speaker 4: guy with a silver spoon that was put in your
Speaker 4: mouth at all, and you you've anything that you have,
Speaker 4: you have earned and you have grinded it out right,
Speaker 4: and it's it's funny to hear because at times, you
Speaker 4: know the same thing has been said in a different
Speaker 4: way about me. Wow, what an overnight success. And it's
Speaker 4: like killing myself for fifteen years to be an overnight success.
Speaker 4: So everything you have is earned. You're trying to buy
Speaker 4: airplane or your primer airplane?
Speaker 7: Airplane?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I got a call. I got a call.
Speaker 4: I'sk about news might trying to sell you the airplane,
Speaker 4: my airplane. Okay, we'll leave it there. That's good. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's a good enough answer. See that's why I like,
Speaker 4: see this guy's killing it and he did it all
Speaker 4: like he's just grinding it out. Yeah, I got low call.
Speaker 4: I don't wory about that though. That's all good. Yeah,
Speaker 4: get get water. So here's all I want to say.
Speaker 4: I want to say a couple of things.
Speaker 2: Uh.

Speaker 7: So I'm putting my watches and I'm like, I'm missing
Speaker 7: one or two and I've always got them, you know,

Speaker 7: And uh As I'm on the phone with my manager
Speaker 7: because he usually takes them and gets them clean. Whatever.
Speaker 7: I noticed another watch is missing, and I'm like, what

Speaker 7: you know, and I have to get together. It's at
Speaker 7: the house, but nobody you know, really goes to my room.
Speaker 7: You know. It's kind of one of those deals, and
Speaker 7: so it's just all these things are going through your head. Well,

Speaker 7: and he goes, well, we've got one of the rolexes.
Speaker 7: The other one is uh, we're working on getting Uh,

Speaker 7: liquor cabinet. There was he stole like two or three bodels,
Speaker 7: a really nice liquor too, and so I'm just like
Speaker 7: I'm trying to picture this dude leaving my house with

Speaker 7: I was blown away.
Speaker 4: Somebody's been around a lot of pun chops.
Speaker 8: If you're a pun chop and it's well, would you
Speaker 8: say it was one of one? But is there anything
Speaker 8: that would indicate that it's yours on there at all?

Speaker 4: Like it's the walk out with someone robbed my house
Speaker 4: wants to right, And I just can't imagine how they
Speaker 4: got out with all this stuff unless they I'm making
Speaker 4: multiple trips in and out and I'm like, how ballsy
Speaker 4: did this go in and out? Like just grabbing stuff
Speaker 4: and like loading up and going back for another round.
Speaker 7: I was, uh. And it sucked too, because, like I said,
Speaker 7: you don't want to you don't want to cuse anybody,
Speaker 7: but you just start thinking like, all right, who's been
Speaker 7: at the house, you know, and it and it sucks
Speaker 7: to ask people about it because you don't want to
Speaker 7: be an same time, it's like, I'm just trying to
Speaker 7: figure out where this stuff is, you know. So I
Speaker 7: felt very violated, you know, it was kind of it
Speaker 7: was really creepy.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad that's over. That's what you get.
Speaker 7: And we found out who did it. I was like,
Speaker 7: I just want to address you know.

Speaker 7: Absolutely, there's.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 2: Number two, we had a listener call in. Her name
Speaker 2: was Erica, and Bobby heard her whole story. Really, Erica
Speaker 2: called in for some advice, but after hearing the story,
Speaker 2: Bobby was like, no, I'm going to help you out here.
Speaker 2: And it was a really cool moment. You guys loved
Speaker 2: hearing this one. But beyond the fact that it was
Speaker 2: a cool moment, also just crazy insane story that Erica shared.
Speaker 2: And I give her major props because girlfriend knew how
Speaker 2: to give some karma and she did and I think
Speaker 2: more than anything, she's getting the good karma now with
Speaker 2: Bobby helping her out.
Speaker 4: Number one, we go talk to Erica and Texas. Erica
Speaker 4: needs some advice. Erica, what's up.
Speaker 12: I haven't talked my ex husband in almost two years.
Speaker 12: We have two children, and the youngest one is seventeenth.
Speaker 12: She was six, so she's taking college courses in high
Speaker 12: school and I need to pay six hundred dollars by
Speaker 12: January for her to continue or to take these courses.
Speaker 12: How do I go about talking to my husband when
Speaker 12: I haven't talked to him?
Speaker 4: You have a text, message and email? Do you have
Speaker 4: any of those ways to get a hold of him?
Speaker 12: Nope? I deleted everything, and my daughter only talks to
Speaker 12: him on the weekends because she has to.
Speaker 4: So if she can talk to him, though, does she
Speaker 4: have the information to be able to get ahold of him?
Speaker 12: She does, but she doesn't want anything from him. When
Speaker 12: she turns eighteen, she's done with him because of what
Speaker 12: he has done.
Speaker 4: You need the money, I mean, is this something that
Speaker 4: you need right now? It's not easy to get six
Speaker 4: hundred bucks.
Speaker 12: It's not easy to get six hundred bucks. She's a
Speaker 12: senior this year, and she's been taking high school or sorry,
Speaker 12: college courses since she was a sophomore. So when she
Speaker 12: graduates and goes into college next year, she'll already have
Speaker 12: her bachelors and she just needs to cure her hands
Speaker 12: on training for marine biology.
Speaker 4: So about reaching out to your husband ask for something.
Speaker 4: Is that something that you just don't want to do,
Speaker 4: but you feel like you have.
Speaker 12: To do for this, I have to do, I feel,
Speaker 12: but I don't want to. He cheated on me with
Speaker 12: my stepsister.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, yeah, that's terrible. But right now I'm just
Speaker 8: like very fired up for you. Like, regardless of ye
Speaker 8: what happened or what he did, he needs to contribute
Speaker 8: to the well being of your daughter. And so if
Speaker 8: I don't know what the situation, if he's paid anything
Speaker 8: over this period of time, but he absolutely should be
Speaker 8: contributing to this, and you should with kindness. You need
Speaker 8: to get the number from your daughter. And I know
Speaker 8: it's probably not fun to talk to him, but you
Speaker 8: need to say, like, hey, this is what I've spent
Speaker 8: over this, this and this and this is what's due
Speaker 8: and I need you to contribute.
Speaker 4: Amy brings up by a great point. Has he contributed
Speaker 4: anything in the past couple of years with her?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 12: The only thing, no, it's not the only thing he
Speaker 12: pays on a regular basis is the insurance because she's
Speaker 12: on his insurance. But all the medical bills that we've
Speaker 12: had to pay for since she was sick. I've had
Speaker 12: to pay for is it too because I.
Speaker 4: Work at the I'm sorry?
Speaker 12: Is it to you?
Speaker 4: Is there something to about it where you you would
Speaker 4: rather not ask him because you just don't want to
Speaker 4: be involved. Like if you had it, you just try
Speaker 4: to pay it yourself. It's not the principle of him
Speaker 4: paying because it's the daughter. It's the principal in your mind.
Speaker 4: You don't want to deal with him, and you wish
Speaker 4: you could just pay it.
Speaker 12: Oh, I don't want to deal with him at all,
Speaker 12: and I would pay it if I had it. I mean,
Speaker 12: there's a lot to it. When I found out that
Speaker 12: it was my stepsister, I got her kicked out of
Speaker 12: the military as well.
Speaker 4: That's crazy. Wait, how'd you get her kicked out of
Speaker 4: the military at all?
Speaker 8: It was he in the military too, because you can't
Speaker 8: be doing that.
Speaker 12: No, he was not in the military. Well he was
Speaker 12: in the past, but he hasn't been in for twelve years.
Speaker 12: She was stationed over here in San Antonio, and I
Speaker 12: knew who her command was, and I sent them proof
Speaker 12: And yeah.
Speaker 4: Would you'd rather stick it to him and get the
Speaker 4: money as in like a stick it and you owe
Speaker 4: us or would you rather just have the money and
Speaker 4: never talk to him again?
Speaker 12: Been trying to get extra shifts at the clinic that
Speaker 12: I work at, and I mean it's coming, but it's
Speaker 12: not coming fast enough for January. Okay, the money January sixteen.
Speaker 4: How much do you need?
Speaker 8: Six hundred dollars?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Venmo, so Bobby, she needs to call him if
Speaker 4: she doesn't want to talk to him. She doesn't want
Speaker 4: to contributing, so he can't. He can't hold it against her.
Speaker 4: I'm happy to just gend more of the money.
Speaker 7: I know that you are.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, Venmo, I can fix this right now.
Speaker 12: I do have Venmo, but no, I don't want your money.
Speaker 12: Thank you.
Speaker 4: I know you do this a lot, but no, if
Speaker 4: you don't want to deal with him and you're working
Speaker 4: on this, let a friend help you out. I'm happy
Speaker 4: to help you out and then screw him. It's not
Speaker 4: even like a let me help you. It's more like
Speaker 4: screw the dude. If he's never involved, don't bring him
Speaker 4: involved so we can hold it over your head like
Speaker 4: scrom he screwed you, well, I screwed step sister, basically
Speaker 4: screwed you over It would make me feel good to help.
Speaker 4: Would you let me do that? Please? And you never
Speaker 4: have to even talk to him again? Could he such
Speaker 4: a freaking loser? Say yes? Okay, say yes, I mean
Speaker 4: say yes, okay, Okay, thank you. I'm going to put
Speaker 4: you on hold. Screm don't talk to him. No, I
Speaker 4: don't want to.
Speaker 8: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 7: Do you know what? Really?
Speaker 8: Screw them? You give her the six hundred and then
Speaker 8: she asks him for it and boom, she's on top.
Speaker 4: If she wants to double up to you can do
Speaker 4: that too, double up. But I don't want her to
Speaker 4: have the stress of it. Okay, stay on hold, Erica,
Speaker 4: don't feel bad. I'm happy to do this. I got you.
