Speaker 1: fun one. Coming in hot. At number seven, Lunchbox read
Speaker 1: Bobby's new children's book, Stanley the Dog The First Day
Speaker 1: of School to his kids, and it was hilariously chaotic
Speaker 1: and just so Lunchbox and a lot of you parents
Speaker 1: out there that are going to hear this, we'll probably
Speaker 1: relate to what it's like to read a book to
Speaker 1: your kids. Number seven. See you like they have focus groups,
Speaker 1: maybe in a TV commercial where they have amy there's
Speaker 1: a big table and there's all these people sitting around
Speaker 1: table and they're like, what do you think about this
Speaker 1: color or this name? We kind of have that here.
Speaker 1: Lunchbox read my kid's book, Stanley the Dog The First
Speaker 1: Day of School to his kids, right, yeah, my two
Speaker 1: year old, my three year old. Okay, so you have
Speaker 1: audio of you doing this? Are you just gonna tell me? Now?
Speaker 1: I got audio. I sat them down in the room
Speaker 1: right before bedtime, and I pulled it out of my backpack.
Speaker 1: Because you gave it to me. And I read the
Speaker 1: title of the book, and my three year old had
Speaker 1: a problem with the concept of the book. It's called
Speaker 1: Stanley the Dog the first day of school. What do
Speaker 1: you think? What do you mean? Good point? Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: he's right, I mean right on the bat. He was
Speaker 1: just like he saw the dog and the school bus window,
Speaker 1: and he was just like, this dog don't go to school.
Speaker 1: That's silly. And he just was he was like, I
Speaker 1: don't get it. When I told my the publisher of
Speaker 1: the book, I said, here's my dad, They said, dogs
Speaker 1: don't go to school, exact thing. So I get it. Okay,
Speaker 1: So here's the clip on lunchbox reading my book to
Speaker 1: his boys. Today was the first day of school, and
Speaker 1: Stanley really didn't want to go. He bittered over which
Speaker 1: color to wear. He didn't even touch his birth Yeah.
Speaker 1: School bus yep, beep, went the bus on, said Bobby,
Speaker 1: and with a stumb one a bumble, Stanley trotted off
Speaker 1: to catch Drew the school. The more Stanley, I like
Speaker 1: the show show that's what I feel like. That's the same.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like I felt that, you know what
Speaker 1: it feels like. No lunch bugs. I mean over and over.
Speaker 1: My two year old was obsessed with the school bus.
Speaker 1: That's every time we turned the page and like, dead out,
Speaker 1: where's the school bus? And he made me go back
Speaker 1: to the school bus. He just wanted to look at
Speaker 1: the school bus the whole time. All right, so focus
Speaker 1: good loves to school bus. All right, what did you
Speaker 1: get to into the book? Oh, we got to end
Speaker 1: the big book. And they loved it and they enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: They thought it was funny and they liked the dogs,
Speaker 1: but they were My three year old got set. He
Speaker 1: was like, why does the other dog tom me us
Speaker 1: to go to the back of the wine? That's mean,
Speaker 1: that's the points. Yes, not everybody's schools. Super nice to Stanley,
Speaker 1: but hey, you know he finds where he fits in,
Speaker 1: which is just with himself. Yes, yes, And so it
Speaker 1: was a success. And we read it two nights in
Speaker 1: a row and we'll see about tonight. If nights three
Speaker 1: nights in a row? Is that all the whole vibe
Speaker 1: every time you're reading, just all the any book you're reading, well,
Speaker 1: not well, not all the time. I mean, if they
Speaker 1: like it, they ask questions about it, but they want
Speaker 1: to see certain things but yes, you go back to
Speaker 1: that page the school bus, Dad school bus loves the
Speaker 1: school bus. Yeah. Yeah, it's not gonna show a lottery story, Bobby,
Speaker 1: a lottery story. There's another lottery story. Okay, well, thank you.
Speaker 1: If you guys want to get the book, you can.
Speaker 1: It's like fifteen bucks, it is. I'm very proud of
Speaker 1: it not keeping any of the money that would make
Speaker 1: from the first year. People go why the first year
Speaker 1: because usually doesn't make any money after the first year.
Speaker 1: So I just don't want to have to keep up
Speaker 1: with it when I'm seventy three years old and be like,
Speaker 1: well I didn't give him six bucks this year, and
Speaker 1: then I never going to jail or something, you know,
Speaker 1: and then you get called out yees. So it's like
Speaker 1: year a year. Anybody who make the book in a year,
Speaker 1: we're gonna donate. Well, reread it and Stevenson was enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: He's totally different age than he's eleven, but he still
Speaker 1: enjoyed it as an eleven year old and his favorite,
Speaker 1: I think was the surprise from a cat makes an appearance.
Speaker 1: So there's not just stalks. So a three year old
Speaker 1: eleven year old and rumor is Ray loved it too,
Speaker 1: right yet different message for everybody. It's the Best Bits
Speaker 1: of the week with Morgan. Number two, we got an
Speaker 1: update on the whole Gavin DeGraw text message situation last weekend.
Speaker 1: I had Scooba Steve on the Best Bits. If you
Speaker 1: missed that, you can go check that out, and he
Speaker 1: talked to us about the text message that him and
Speaker 1: Eddie sent Gavin DeGraw of somebody covering his song when
Speaker 1: they were down in Memphis, and while the show gave
Speaker 1: them a pretty hard time about using a phone number
Speaker 1: from professional reasons to personal reasons. And when Eddie was
Speaker 1: out at Bobby's show this past weekend, he asked Gavin
Speaker 1: DeGraw live in person how he felt about that text message,
Speaker 1: and Eddie told us what all transpired. But you know,
Speaker 1: Mike came in this weekend. He was also at Bobby's
Speaker 1: show and shared some more behind the scenes. You know,
Speaker 1: there's just this story is like an onion, It just
Speaker 1: keeps unfolding. But here's one of the parts. Number six.
Speaker 1: So as a reminder, we had a segment last week
Speaker 1: and Eddie and Scuba Steve were in Memphis. They went
Speaker 1: to watch the Elvis movie and while they were there.
Speaker 1: They go to a bar and they see a guy
Speaker 1: playing Gavin DeGraw. I don't want to be this song
Speaker 1: right here from Gavin Degarral. There's a guy just covering
Speaker 1: this song in a bar, and they think, since Gavin's
Speaker 1: been on the show once and they happened to have
Speaker 1: his number for professional reasons, they needed to text him
Speaker 1: a video at one in the morning. It was a
Speaker 1: good version, though. This guy was really good, right, I
Speaker 1: hear you sure? And so we talked about how that's
Speaker 1: kind of awkward. You're not friends with him, No, we
Speaker 1: don't really know him. It's like getting his number off
Speaker 1: a medical form and then being like, oh, I have
Speaker 1: his number, let me. It was Scuba's idea, he said,
Speaker 1: should I text him? I said yes, absolutely. I say,
Speaker 1: Gavin's a nice guy, is probably not gonna be mad.
Speaker 1: But that's inappropriate. You can't do that. You can't go
Speaker 1: down to Broadway here in Nashville and be like, hey, Garth,
Speaker 1: there's friends in low places here. This is Sally doing it. Man.
Speaker 1: You guys railed us for doing that, railed mildly reem.
Speaker 1: So Gavin came out at my show. I brought him
Speaker 1: out on Saturday night as a surprise. And so he's
Speaker 1: backstage where he surprised the crowd inside of my comedy
Speaker 1: and inspirational show, and you asked him about this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was backstage. So I said, hey, dam can I
Speaker 1: ask you a question? You know how we texted you
Speaker 1: with of that version of that guy singing your song,
Speaker 1: like what's that? Inappropriate? Teams like what are you talking about? No,
Speaker 1: he was He didn't say what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: He said, quote, I will tell you what he said.
Speaker 1: He goes, dude, I really enjoyed that, Like I like
Speaker 1: the reminder of like, that's cool. People are still playing
Speaker 1: my music to me. It's very flattering. And then he
Speaker 1: ended with this nice to you. Go ahead. Hey. He
Speaker 1: ended with next time you see someone else playing that, dude,
Speaker 1: text away. Yeah, all right, Scuba, we're good. Dude, all right, cool?
Speaker 1: You do realize more. He's a nice guy. And he
Speaker 1: was just being what do you think he's gonna say, dude,
Speaker 1: don't do that? Yeah, yeah, I would expect him to
Speaker 1: be like, ah, man, yeah I was a little weird
Speaker 1: or whatever, but he didn't say that. He said, dude,
Speaker 1: it was I was very flattered by that. But he
Speaker 1: also could have just stopped it. I was flattered and
Speaker 1: it was cool. He didn't have to add on send
Speaker 1: it to me next time. That's why I think that
Speaker 1: he's just being super nice and it's like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: who wants to see Yeah. I think it would be
Speaker 1: a different answer if Bobby asked him as opposed to
Speaker 1: the person that sent the text. Okay, Bobby, Let's say
Speaker 1: that we're somewhere and I see someone covering raging idiots
Speaker 1: or someone else that has happened before, and I wanted
Speaker 1: it because but I'm not. I'm not famous, but I
Speaker 1: don't have that Gavina Grossong is so massive. Ten thousand
Speaker 1: people are covering it every night, and you're friends with
Speaker 1: Bobby Amy. Okay, not me, bad example, but anybody like
Speaker 1: that paple all the way around, Yeah, all the way around.
Speaker 1: The rule is if you're not if you haven't texted
Speaker 1: with them on a personal basis before in a friendly way,
Speaker 1: don't text them. If it period, if you get their
Speaker 1: number from the show, okay, you should be like who
Speaker 1: punishment one day should be like if you do you
Speaker 1: mess up or do something, you have to text someone
Speaker 1: from your phone. No, they do that anyway. That's not
Speaker 1: that's fun. Hey, you know what else so embarrassing? He said,
Speaker 1: did you send that to me? I said, no, Scuba
Speaker 1: days like, well, let me give you my number so
Speaker 1: you can text me next time. Okay, that's what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: stories being exact. And then he said, hey, come over
Speaker 1: tonight and when at dinner he never said that. Gavin
Speaker 1: a girl so good? This song Ford, you know, he
Speaker 1: did this whole album about his you know, and the
Speaker 1: story is his parents died in a lot of death
Speaker 1: and he wanted to finish this album before his dad died.
Speaker 1: His dad was diagnosed with cancer and he got to
Speaker 1: play it for his dad right before he died. He'd
Speaker 1: been working on it. His dad listened to it, and
Speaker 1: his dad died very soon after that. And the first
Speaker 1: track on it's called you know the River, and it's
Speaker 1: about his dad finally going to meet his mom because
Speaker 1: his mom passed away earlier. Super emotional. He has a
Speaker 1: song called Ford. It's like what you should appreciate in life.
Speaker 1: I mean, there is not a more country song the meaning,
Speaker 1: the message than this song right here. It played the
Speaker 1: hook of that song for me right count lessons and
Speaker 1: praise the Lord that he work card and you get
Speaker 1: it's such a good song, you know, for us in
Speaker 1: this room, for us to listen to the show, this
Speaker 1: is it's a great message for our kind of people.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 1: I love it so much when Jimmy Allen stops by
Speaker 1: the show. He's so human, so real and just is
Speaker 1: totally raw in his interviews. He shares all his feelings
Speaker 1: and everything right off the chest and no filter, which
Speaker 1: is my favorite thing about him. He came in that
Speaker 1: interview was so much fun. But not only that, he
Speaker 1: is becoming a professional bowler, or at least that's his
Speaker 1: goal in the next year. So definitely listen to this.
Speaker 1: Number five. Jimmy, he's got a new album out today.
Speaker 1: It's crazy it's only your third album. I feel like
Speaker 1: you put out so much good stuff, but I guess
Speaker 1: a lot of that stuff's just not an album. It's
Speaker 1: like this is for third full project. Yeah, third full project.
Speaker 1: It's like I'll hear that there. Sometimes I hear like, wow,
Speaker 1: you got three albums out already on your fifth single
Speaker 1: because you figured as some artists that just now put
Speaker 1: out an EP on like their third single. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: then he also got to play covers their whole show.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like you're always have a lot
Speaker 1: of really cool people because you have great songs yourself,
Speaker 1: but you have the ability to get really cool people
Speaker 1: to do songs with you and to also share the
Speaker 1: message that you want shared, and all of your collaborations.
Speaker 1: It's like you don't bring someone on and they just
Speaker 1: are out of nowhere and it doesn't make sense. It's
Speaker 1: like you bring on great communicators of what the song
Speaker 1: actually means, and it's it's it's a really cool thing
Speaker 1: that you do. And so I'll talk about that for
Speaker 1: a second because on this record, and I do want
Speaker 1: talk about the Jennifer Lopes thing because I saw that
Speaker 1: I was like, holy crap, how did you get j
Speaker 1: Loo to be on a song? So she it's a
Speaker 1: remake of her song on My Way from her movie
Speaker 1: Marrying Me, and like, I know somebody that works with her,
Speaker 1: and he reached out and was like, Hey, we want
Speaker 1: to do a remake of this JLO song? Would you
Speaker 1: be down to do it? I would say that's a
Speaker 1: dumb question, of course, Like I don't care what the
Speaker 1: song is about. I didn't even know what song is
Speaker 1: going to be? I said yes, So he just sent
Speaker 1: it over. She'd already done her vocals on so I
Speaker 1: just did mind and like and I just sent it back.
Speaker 1: That's cool. So it kind of came to you. But
Speaker 1: then you got to also go this is is still
Speaker 1: a me thing. Yeah. So then after we did it,
Speaker 1: it was like, hey the record can we put on
Speaker 1: the record? Now? The Celo t Pain thing was different,
Speaker 1: like I was in Miami ges himself with pit Bull,
Speaker 1: and then I went to studio and my boy Vinny
Speaker 1: that produces some Celo stuff, said hey, Jimmy, Celo got
Speaker 1: this verse. He got a chorus, but he wants to
Speaker 1: like change it. What do you want to do? See
Speaker 1: if you can ride a course to it? So I said,
Speaker 1: all right, play the track. So I just hopped in
Speaker 1: the booth free stopped this chorus, then went back and
Speaker 1: recorded it and I called te Pain a couple days
Speaker 1: later that bro, I got this song on Celo, you
Speaker 1: want to do it? You just called him? Yeah, It's
Speaker 1: like hello, yeah, he was like, can I buy your drink?
Speaker 1: I'm good? So then he said yeah, so he did it.
Speaker 1: Now I was gonna there's a hip hop artist I
Speaker 1: was texting to do the third verse, so I was like,
Speaker 1: oh wait, no, I want a verse. I don't want
Speaker 1: to just sing the chorus on a song on my
Speaker 1: record and then Katio the other features. So every album
Speaker 1: I want to have an artist that doesn't have a
Speaker 1: record with the song. So it started with Betty James
Speaker 1: Gold Edition with Neon Union, who me and my buddy
Speaker 1: Aaron ben would just signed, just got them their first
Speaker 1: record deal. Now Katio she's an artist in town that
Speaker 1: used to demo sing a lot of songs that they
Speaker 1: would pitch to, like artists like Carrie Mary and Carl whoever.
Speaker 1: But the problem is Nashville sometimes if you become a
Speaker 1: demo singer, you get pitch and hold is that. So
Speaker 1: she's a great artist and we had her come in
Speaker 1: because the song we did, broken Heart, is gonna be
Speaker 1: to do it anyway. My boy was like, hey, let's
Speaker 1: have this girl Katio come demo. I was like cool,
Speaker 1: So she came in. I was like, wait, wait, no,
Speaker 1: let's just keep her on the song that way, you know.
Speaker 1: One It's I feel like I've been given a platform
Speaker 1: and people have given me opportunities. I feel like it's
Speaker 1: my job to do that for other people. So I'm
Speaker 1: excited for the world to hit katiel. What's interesting about that.
Speaker 1: What I hear when you tell that story is Reba,
Speaker 1: you know, does he love you? Linda Davis? Does he
Speaker 1: love you? When? So they do this and she was
Speaker 1: just singing the demo for the song because she was
Speaker 1: with Reba's touring group, and they were like, well, who
Speaker 1: do you want to get on it? And they had
Speaker 1: gone through according to urban legend. I think reve actually
Speaker 1: told me this, it's not that urban of a legend.
Speaker 1: They had gone through people to do it. She was like, no,
Speaker 1: let's just have Linda do it. She sounds great, and
Speaker 1: she's already on tour with us as a background singer,
Speaker 1: and so she was like, and she's a great artist
Speaker 1: that no one has actually let beat and so that
Speaker 1: song does he think me? And so that's that similar
Speaker 1: to what you just told her. Because Katie's a nurse,
Speaker 1: so she'll go work her nurse shifts and still write.
Speaker 1: So like you know, nurses work twelve hours, so she'll
Speaker 1: go work twelve hours still then still go write songs
Speaker 1: and still go recording music. So I just you know,
Speaker 1: I had so much respect for her in the hustle.
Speaker 1: You know, we really appreciate people to guy hustle bro
Speaker 1: because we try to appreciate It's like a time machine
Speaker 1: and I'll speak and you can agree or disagree. But
Speaker 1: you say that and it resonates with me because I go, man,
Speaker 1: somebody's just killing themselves. I think that's why I was
Speaker 1: drawn to you early because I would see you just
Speaker 1: going so hard for what you wanted and I admired
Speaker 1: that because nothing was given to you. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I like it. I want to help them, but in reality,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to help me. That's what I did,
Speaker 1: and I wanted somebody to help me. So when you
Speaker 1: that's how I feel because you talk about her and
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, I should help her. Yeah, man, but
Speaker 1: I think we're actually trying to help ourselves in the past.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. And it's kind of like it's that's what
Speaker 1: could next us Because me the one my biggest pet
Speaker 1: peeve lazy people. People say I want this, I want that,
Speaker 1: but have it. They've never taken one step in the
Speaker 1: direction to achieve said career they want, you know, But
Speaker 1: when I see someone like exhausting every option to make
Speaker 1: it happen. I'm like, that's when you step in, because
Speaker 1: that's what someone did for us. We got to a
Speaker 1: point where we worked our butt off, when we got
Speaker 1: good at what we were doing a little bit enough
Speaker 1: to get someone's attention. And people say, you know what,
Speaker 1: they're investing in themselves, so I'm gonna invest in them. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They just kicked the door and cracked it a little bit.
Speaker 1: Kick crack a little bit and let us have a
Speaker 1: shot to get enter the room. Hold the door, give
Speaker 1: us some more time to get through it. Just hold
Speaker 1: it for him for a second. Jimmy Allen us here
Speaker 1: records out today called Tulip Drive. What I want to
Speaker 1: mention too, And we were talking about this before you
Speaker 1: came on. But Jimmy took a red eye to get
Speaker 1: here to do the show today. Hey, what's the red
Speaker 1: eye to you? A red eye a picture or yourself
Speaker 1: like in La trying to get to New York and
Speaker 1: you do it overnight or something, and you maybe catch
Speaker 1: the flight at midnight and La La, you wake up
Speaker 1: in New York. So a red eye because I'm assuming
Speaker 1: you you're tired in your eyes are red, but it's
Speaker 1: an overnight flight. They're they're difficult because it throws you off.
Speaker 1: And yeah, you're obviously, like you said, you hustle and
Speaker 1: you got here, and I appreciate that. But why you
Speaker 1: were confused as a red eye to you is the
Speaker 1: same thing. Yeah, so this wasn't that I had a stop.
Speaker 1: I went from one ratches city to another one. I
Speaker 1: went from Oakland to Troit. Like at midoy, my credit
Speaker 1: score dropped one hundred points. Okay, you can't if you're
Speaker 1: gonna take me from Oakle to Detroit, can we at
Speaker 1: least stop and Scottsdale in between? Even Utah? You know,
Speaker 1: maybe Salt Lake City, you know, they could pray for
Speaker 1: me out there to get my credit score back up.
Speaker 1: And then I came to Nashville. But uh, that's what
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it had a stop until I got
Speaker 1: on the plane. I was like, wait, what, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: just two connectors at night. That's not a red eye.
Speaker 1: He hung out for like two hours in an airport.
Speaker 1: Let's fly you here. Yeah, you know, ten fifty your time.
Speaker 1: You know, we'll take you to Detroit at six am
Speaker 1: and you'll stay there for two hours. And you gotta
Speaker 1: stay away because you want to fall asleep mission flight
Speaker 1: and then you get on another flight and come in here.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so here it is. Well, you look good,
Speaker 1: you know. I try to put a little piece together
Speaker 1: what you have? Quite that? But you have five or
Speaker 1: six brothers, sisters? I have you got his fingers out
Speaker 1: by the way for them. I don't four sisters, two,
Speaker 1: three brothers. And what is that dynamic like with you
Speaker 1: doing what you do? Because this is a weird job.
Speaker 1: You're really good at it. This is a weird job
Speaker 1: that you're a performer and you do. What do they think?
Speaker 1: And what's like generally, what's the family do? They don't
Speaker 1: really care. They still just treat me like Jimmy, so
Speaker 1: like it's an inside joke, and my friends and families
Speaker 1: know me forever. They still treat me like Jimmy with
Speaker 1: a why. So I switched Jimmy to an I E.
Speaker 1: A year before I got my record deal out of
Speaker 1: honor my grandma because she spelled Betty I E. So
Speaker 1: everybody knew me with a why and I was like
Speaker 1: the Delaware day. So my family still treat me like
Speaker 1: me in a while. My brother is a construction he's
Speaker 1: one of the top governors at the Mooselage. You know
Speaker 1: that we all hang out in delibacy takes that very
Speaker 1: shious shout out to the Mooselage, by the way. Uh
Speaker 1: My one sister used to work at the Constorium. I
Speaker 1: like a lot of special these people. Um My one brother,
Speaker 1: I don't know what he does. All I know is
Speaker 1: he always has money, but I never see him working.
Speaker 1: So I leave that. I won't even say that. He
Speaker 1: don't like to say that at all. He doesn't like
Speaker 1: that at all. It is what it is, Okay. I
Speaker 1: don't know what he does. He says he's always working.
Speaker 1: I never see him work, but he has money. Now
Speaker 1: my issue. Uh My one sister works from home. Uh
Speaker 1: she's a Nashville Uh she works with some insurance company
Speaker 1: I don't remember. And my other sister, Dan Yelle, is
Speaker 1: in Texas. I don't know what she does either, but
Speaker 1: she works, so I know she goes to work. Sounds
Speaker 1: like I need a little more connection. Yeah, but it's
Speaker 1: like we don't really talk. Like we don't ever talk
Speaker 1: about my job either. So you know, we just talk.
Speaker 1: We hang out, We do family stuff, We play games.
Speaker 1: The last thing that's the one thing I love about
Speaker 1: my siblings. We keep work on the outside. Like my
Speaker 1: sister didn't even know I was having an album out
Speaker 1: until like a couple of days ago. She's like, you
Speaker 1: gotta wrecke coming up. You didn't tell me. It's like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, she's, oh, garrets whatever out here eventually. So
Speaker 1: it's like we kind of don't. That's the one thing
Speaker 1: we do on purpose. We don't talk about work. The
Speaker 1: album is out today. It's called Tulip Drive. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: play down Home. So it came out a few months ago,
Speaker 1: but really starting to gain some steam here. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna play this, but give me like twenty seconds a
Speaker 1: set up of the song so people can have an
Speaker 1: understanding what they' about to hear. Down Home. It's a
Speaker 1: song I wrote with my bass player to tell you
Speaker 1: how Ryan Ball Camberdell. It's a letter to my father,
Speaker 1: kind of like a check in. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: make it a sad song, just you know, checking in

Speaker 1: I say so. There's a picture of all of us
Speaker 1: standing together, and it's everybody who performed and myself since
Speaker 1: I hosted. And just so you have an idea here
Speaker 1: like this, it's video. It's like scrolling. That's the one
Speaker 1: where I didn't get the memo that everybody's gonna have
Speaker 1: this show clothes on. I'm sitting there with basketball shorts on.
Speaker 1: That's it. And so that's where this comes from. So
Speaker 1: this video is all of us, and Kane reaches out
Speaker 1: and goes to me, Hey, he said, how come you're
Speaker 1: like me? All these mfs always dressed up in their
Speaker 1: show gear and I look like I'm ready to hoop,
Speaker 1: and so he says this to me, and I'm offended
Speaker 1: because I thought I was like a pretty good I
Speaker 1: had a like I had a mine's outfit on, and
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say because I gotta respond,
Speaker 1: and I go and it's weird. So I go, uh
Speaker 1: hah um, Yeah, it looks like Jimmy and I ready
Speaker 1: to chill on the couch and watch a game. Meaning
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to bring you into this because you
Speaker 1: look like you're in show. But I don't know why
Speaker 1: it's saying that to me because I was like proud
Speaker 1: of my clothes. Oh god, And so I told the
Speaker 1: show I was like, Kane just said I'd dressed fire.
Speaker 1: So then he sends me a laughing emoji, goes, I'm
Speaker 1: meant to send that to Jimmy. I thought I was
Speaker 1: watching his account. He said, I tried to hit the
Speaker 1: unsend button, but I guess that doesn't worry hahaha, you
Speaker 1: gotta hold it. So he was talking about you. He said,
Speaker 1: how come you're like everybody dressed up? But yeah, because
Speaker 1: I chill in my sweats are shorts to the last
Speaker 1: minute because I know what I'm about to put on stage.
Speaker 1: It is about to be small, tight and sweaty, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So I'm in this leather kick
Speaker 1: right now. Well, I was offended. Was my feelings were hurt?
Speaker 1: I was like, who is that? Da kan n thinks
Speaker 1: I'm ugly and I dressed upid. I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: trying my basketball, trying to go host a show here.
Speaker 1: You have a bowling I know you bowling, You're a
Speaker 1: really good bowler. But you have a team. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: know there was a team. Yeah. So I'm in a
Speaker 1: three leagues here and then I'm in this traveling team
Speaker 1: and then actually in Vegas, will be in Vegas next week.
Speaker 1: Three leagues, traveling, traveling. Yeah, we traveled d tournaments, um,
Speaker 1: and then uh I got USBC tournament in Vegas next week,
Speaker 1: then a TAT tournament and then some PBA stuff coming
Speaker 1: because I am pretty much almost an official PBA tour.
Speaker 1: So you got to have a hold of two hundred
Speaker 1: average for an entire season, could you be a pro bowler? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm actually taking off to a month in January to
Speaker 1: do that. Next year, you're taking off what do you
Speaker 1: mean to do that? Like traveling bowl player do PBA tournaments.
Speaker 1: That's so cool. I mean, it's it's weird because I
Speaker 1: don't know, but it does that. Yeah, that's so cool.
Speaker 1: I think the only other person that does it a
Speaker 1: lot is me that I know is me, Chuck Wicks
Speaker 1: and Mookie Batts. Like when Mookie Bets is off from baseball,
Speaker 1: he traveled just just bowling tournaments and they pay too. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: can you make Yeah for those who don't know, he's
Speaker 1: got very violent aggressive Okay, oh yeah, you can get paid.
Speaker 1: I tell people bowls like, it's to the point where
Speaker 1: I've become a snob. Now with bowling, I'll ask for
Speaker 1: like their house pattern was still shot? Was the oil length?
Speaker 1: And then when I go to the bowling now and
Speaker 1: I see people next to me bowling with house shoes
Speaker 1: on in the house ball, I'm like, he's like, what
Speaker 1: are you doing? Having fun? No, that's better? Oh sad
Speaker 1: at Jimmy Allen. If you're to follow him again, I
Speaker 1: e which is a great story. Was well on your
Speaker 1: birthdayip begets Jimmy with the why James James is my
Speaker 1: legal name? You got the point when I'm saying Jimmy, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you was Jimmy. People call you Jimmy. Be changed
Speaker 1: it for your grandma. Yeah, I changed for my ground.
Speaker 1: That's why I started wearing these bandana's, Like that's my
Speaker 1: look now because my Grandma'm always wore bandana. I'm like
Speaker 1: super sentimental. So everything I do, no matter how weird
Speaker 1: it might see him, there's a reason. So Tulip drivers
Speaker 1: out and speaking of weird, let's just this is the
Speaker 1: last thing I'll talk about because if it is weird
Speaker 1: and week into a fistfight, the segment INDs here, right,
Speaker 1: we have nothing else to do. We've already talked about everything. Really, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: you guys prepare yourself bringing the referees. So, um, what
Speaker 1: I like about Jimmy is he will go to people
Speaker 1: that he admires and respects and says, hey, hop on
Speaker 1: this song with me. And so I had this whole song.
Speaker 1: I reached out Jimmy. I said, hey, Jimmy, get on
Speaker 1: the song with me. All right, already laughing, laughing and
Speaker 1: leaning away from so like I love Jimmy, like not
Speaker 1: just in here we do this, but as it like
Speaker 1: a dude, And so I never want to ask anybody
Speaker 1: to do anything with me or us unless I'm like
Speaker 1: close and you know, Party John Party did a song,
Speaker 1: a comedy song we wrote last time, and I said,
Speaker 1: you know would be good on this, it'd be Jimmy.
Speaker 1: And so I don't want to say the name of
Speaker 1: the song because somebody else is going to do it.
Speaker 1: Once Jimmy rejected us. But anyway, so I sent the
Speaker 1: song to Jimmy and I feel awkward. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't want to ask somebody to do this song.
Speaker 1: So I send the track with the empty verse. I say, hey, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: we're doing this song. Is this something you want to do? Like?
Speaker 1: Hop on it? You can? They know, just just let
Speaker 1: me know. It's an awkward thing to ask somebody. And
Speaker 1: I didn't hear anything. Day went by, not even a
Speaker 1: text back. Two days went by, nothing, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's weird. He must be scared to say no. And
Speaker 1: so I get somebody that works with me, talk to
Speaker 1: your person and they're like, oh, yeah, Jimmy doesn't have
Speaker 1: a phone, and I'm like, that's bullcrap. That's what people say.
Speaker 1: I'm dead serious. So what is So? Here's what. So
Speaker 1: I don't update my iPhones ever because it freaks me up,
Speaker 1: Like I just think they just want me to keep updating, updating,
Speaker 1: So stuff are going to phone. So I remember forgot
Speaker 1: where we had I was right before show. I plugged
Speaker 1: it in on my phone and I came back out,
Speaker 1: and then my phone is just doing the circle thing
Speaker 1: like it's loading right, and then the apple thing comes on.
Speaker 1: I'll go to hit it my screen say pops up
Speaker 1: with with my daughter's face on that. Every time I
Speaker 1: put my pascot there, poom, phone shuts off. I didn't
Speaker 1: have a phone for like two days, and it happened
Speaker 1: to be the only time I sent us off. He
Speaker 1: and then I I was freaking out anyway, right, so
Speaker 1: excuse me. So we we fly to Philly that next day.
Speaker 1: Go to Philly. You know, I hit to hit the casino,
Speaker 1: you know, Uh, go to Philly. I get a new phone, right,
Speaker 1: and then when I back it up, I have too
Speaker 1: many pictures and stuff, so the phone's not loading again,
Speaker 1: so it freaks out again. So then I got to
Speaker 1: get another phone. Two days later in Nashville. I didn't
Speaker 1: have a phone almost for like four days. So then
Speaker 1: when I finally get my phone back up and running,
Speaker 1: the last time I updated my phone was March, so
Speaker 1: I got text messages from March, right, So my manager asked.
Speaker 1: Text was said, hey, did you did you not want
Speaker 1: to do the song with Bobby? You know you could
Speaker 1: have just told her. I said, I ain't getting no song.
Speaker 1: He said yeah, He said, well they sent the song over.
Speaker 1: He said yeah. He said, I figured it was weird,
Speaker 1: but he said, I just told him you didn't have
Speaker 1: a You didn't have a phone because I didn't have
Speaker 1: a phone, because you know, I'd to respond to here
Speaker 1: and i'd have done this song. So let's can we
Speaker 1: do another one? Sounds sue. That's all I'm saying. I'm
Speaker 1: not letting you commit to it. Here. This is a
Speaker 1: new phone. I'm not today like I know it's gonna
Speaker 1: bring them up. So give me got two new phones
Speaker 1: because this phone is mirrored to this phone. So if
Speaker 1: this phone ever goes away, have another one. All I
Speaker 1: know is I send them this heartfelt matter, got no response,
Speaker 1: and here we are now not doing a song. It
Speaker 1: pretty funny song. I tell you, it's pretty good one.
Speaker 1: They probably could be the thing that really breaks your
Speaker 1: career and get your first man. You know, I say,
Speaker 1: how about we do this. I don't like it. Whatever
Speaker 1: it is, the person that's on it, let me join.
Speaker 1: We're already done. It's does It's easy. I go to
Speaker 1: studio and just do it. It's technology, man, Let's do
Speaker 1: another one. Yeah, I know. We'll see how your career
Speaker 1: is going a couple of years and readdresses. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: probably be a movie star, but tired from music. No,
Speaker 1: I probably want to be doing What kind of movie
Speaker 1: do you want to do? Oh? A bunch? Like I'm
Speaker 1: seriously taking the transition into television and film. Like I'm
Speaker 1: not leaving music. Like I always put out singles, I
Speaker 1: always do records. But the whole idea of touring one
Speaker 1: hundred plus shows a year, no, I think I want
Speaker 1: to get to a point where I'm doing maybe ten
Speaker 1: shows a year in the US, twenty outside of a a year,
Speaker 1: maybe thirty shows a year, and then just doing TV movies,
Speaker 1: you know, spending time with my kids, developing muh music
Speaker 1: education courses in different schools. But not just music, but
Speaker 1: the business side of it, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Because so many people don't understand the business as an artists,
Speaker 1: and then it shows other people that love music that
Speaker 1: might not be at the level of talent to be
Speaker 1: a musician, they could still be involved in a career
Speaker 1: to management, publishing pro So that's really what I really
Speaker 1: want to what I really want to do after this
Speaker 1: little debac all this song, You'll never work in this
Speaker 1: town again. We heard it here first. Jimmy is an album,
Speaker 1: my Tulip Drive. It's out today. It's it's so it's
Speaker 1: it's so great and it's so different. You got a
Speaker 1: lot of great voices, but the most important voice is
Speaker 1: his own, and it's just a wonderful story. The voice
Speaker 1: you don't want to put on. A voice that didn't
Speaker 1: respond and that's so crazy. The time I do not
Speaker 1: have exactly it is so crazy. That is jim you
Speaker 1: said it. It's so crazy. It's a little too so crazy,

Speaker 1: the week. With Morgan. Number two, Lunchbox is really just
Speaker 1: being tested lately. He had some tree branches fall into
Speaker 1: his house and create some pretty bad holes, all from
Speaker 1: a storm, and we feel for him, especially after you'll
Speaker 1: see all the photos at Bobby Bones dot com. I mean,
Speaker 1: these trees like puncture different areas in his house. So
Speaker 1: currently their house is a little bit under construction, so
Speaker 1: we feel for him. But this is Lunchbox telling the
Speaker 1: story of how it all happened and how his wife
Speaker 1: told them it was going down. Number four, let's do
Speaker 1: WhatsApps for Lunchbox? Hey, what's that? Man? The world hates me,
Speaker 1: absolutely hates me, out to get me, trying to kill me.
Speaker 1: We had a storm roll in the other day and
Speaker 1: wind starts blowing. All of a sudden, boom, a big
Speaker 1: old tree branch landed on the roof, not one hole.
Speaker 1: Did you hear it? No? No, I wasn't even home.
Speaker 1: My wife and she calls me, She's like, I need
Speaker 1: you to come home. I think a tree branch fell
Speaker 1: on the roof. And I'm like, oh my gosh, dramatically No, No,
Speaker 1: she was crying hysterical, and I was like, dramatic much
Speaker 1: So I'm all right all heading home and I started
Speaker 1: driving home. She's like, it came through the ceiling. I
Speaker 1: need you to hurry up and get there. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: now that we're talking serious, and I get there. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I'm looking at a picture of your whole
Speaker 1: roofs caved in. Yeah, there are there's a hole in
Speaker 1: the ceiling. In the kid's room, you can see outside. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can see. We have a new skylight. And then
Speaker 1: in the dining room there's another hole. And above the
Speaker 1: stove in the kitchen there's a hole. We have three
Speaker 1: holes in our ceiling. I thought you were gonna have
Speaker 1: like small holes that created leaks. You can in Lunchbox's
Speaker 1: house and look up and see the sky not because
Speaker 1: of a skylight, but because the tree holes. Yes, so
Speaker 1: what's what happened? What do you what do you do now?
Speaker 1: A tree branch fell off a tree and boom, and
Speaker 1: my wife, it shook the whole house, she said, And
Speaker 1: so we called insurance, and the restoration company comes out
Speaker 1: where they're supposed to put some fans in to dry
Speaker 1: the floor, and they were like, oh yeah, we'll just
Speaker 1: remove the tree branch. And they get up there and
Speaker 1: like We're gonna have to call a tree company to
Speaker 1: remove this. A tree company comes with tractors and they
Speaker 1: cut it all up, and now I have tarps on
Speaker 1: my roof. So it's gonna ask, is it like super hot? Now?
Speaker 1: Can you not keep the house cool? Exactly? Really? Yep?
Speaker 1: These are big holes. I mean it is massively. They
Speaker 1: think it'll be done well. The insurance adjuster comes tomorrow
Speaker 1: to give me an estimate, and I got to find
Speaker 1: a contractor and to do the work, so I mean probably,
Speaker 1: I mean at least a month. I bet that stinks.
Speaker 1: I mean, massive holes. We have insulation hanging down. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just just a disaster at my house. We'll post
Speaker 1: some of these pictures, like you, Yeah, it's much bigger

Speaker 1: sort of like it's sort of like The Fast and
Speaker 1: the Furious. It started out strong and it just kept going.
Speaker 1: It was like, good God, this is ever gonna end.
Speaker 1: But people love a lot of money. It's the best
Speaker 1: bits of the week with Morgan number two. We all
Speaker 1: love the nineties. It's like we're all trying to get
Speaker 1: back there. Slowly but surely. If everything could just come
Speaker 1: back from the nineties, I think I'd be okay with it.
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, at this point, I'm just accepting it
Speaker 1: all because the nineties were perfect. And Bobby this week
Speaker 1: shared his top five country music videos from the nineties.
Speaker 1: Here's all of them. Number two, Final Day, We're the
Speaker 1: number one may My List, I'm a Top five and

Speaker 1: nineteen nineties lingo included bling, bling, Yeah, kunt nice jewelry.
Speaker 1: It's not just bling, and even that's a little dated
Speaker 1: at this point. To call someone a blood, you need
Speaker 1: to call him a friend. Hey, blood, that's cool. Chill
Speaker 1: out obviously for sure, get over it. Whacked like out
Speaker 1: of their mind. And YadA YadA YadA, which is from
Speaker 1: Seinfeld's that's from nineteen ninety. Okay, you keep stalling, No,
Speaker 1: I'm giving contexts the year nineteen ninety. So here's a
Speaker 1: little fact about this song. This person was a struggling songwriter,
Speaker 1: and so he got together with a writer that he
Speaker 1: admired wrote this song, and then got the song and
Speaker 1: pitched it to an another artist and she she Tanya Tucker,
Speaker 1: recorded at first, so she recorded it, but she didn't
Speaker 1: put on her album. And so this guy, who was
Speaker 1: established himself as an artist, he said, hey, since she
Speaker 1: recorded it, can I have it back? He didn't recorded it,
Speaker 1: and he put it on his second album in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 1: The album was called No Fences. Yeah, the artist is
Speaker 1: Garth Brooks and this song is the thunder roll Let's
Speaker 1: Go on October two, nineteen ninety one, it was the
Speaker 1: CMA video of the Year. It was taken off the era,
Speaker 1: though it was pulled for a long time because it
Speaker 1: was a controversial for an hour yep, it says in
Speaker 1: the music video alludes to the third verse by including
Speaker 1: theme of domestic violence. Both TNN and CMT banned the video,
Speaker 1: with a CMT representative commenting that the network was quote
Speaker 1: in business to entertain, not to promote or condone gratuitous
Speaker 1: violence or social issues. Because they banned it was it
Speaker 1: made even bigger. Banned me. That's right, your number one
Speaker 1: nineties music video and song. I'm gonna play it for
Speaker 1: you now. I'm glad this got could be recognized. He
Speaker 1: needs it, Yeah, he needs this award. Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: Garth Brooks from nineteen ninety thunder Rolls. It's the best
Speaker 1: bits of the week with Morgan number two. This definitely
Speaker 1: had to be the number one this week. Lady A.
Speaker 1: They came into the show, they performed so many of
Speaker 1: their hit songs. They came in because it's the first
Speaker 1: day of summer that happened this week. They brought a
Speaker 1: snow cone whole like food truck situation because they released
Speaker 1: their new song, Summer State of Mind. But they came
Speaker 1: on the show talks about their sixteen year career, how
Speaker 1: they stayed together as a band, and they performed Bobby's
Speaker 1: like three favorite songs of his, which let me just
Speaker 1: tell you, two of them are need You Now in
Speaker 1: American Honey, and they were epic performances. I love these
Speaker 1: guys so much. Number one, Hey guys, gonna see you guys. Hey,
Speaker 1: let me ask Charles Kelly. You're you're just going to
Speaker 1: town on a cof drop over there before Like it's
Speaker 1: like a horse eaton corn man. I've never seen anything
Speaker 1: like this. For it's it's it helps your voice, so
Speaker 1: like it's early morning singing. I got a whole bucket
Speaker 1: for you. Want to win. But is this a thing
Speaker 1: like you're not sick, you just have a lot of
Speaker 1: college Yeah, no, I do a cough drop. I mean literally,
Speaker 1: are our assistant that comes out. I mean she's got
Speaker 1: a thing full of cough drops. Hot teas and different
Speaker 1: things like that kind of help you, you know, your voice.
Speaker 1: Every person we travel with out in that room has
Speaker 1: a cough drop in their pocket ready to go. When
Speaker 1: Charles asked Hilary, Hillary's gotten on the cough drop train too,
Speaker 1: though she does weird strains, some trains. That's a weird one.
Speaker 1: We'll think about it. I mean, if you've got like
Speaker 1: a little crud in your voice or just anything that
Speaker 1: opens it up. It's effervescent. So it's just a singing thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know it constantly's No, there's no COVID over here
Speaker 1: in my friend, because I would have moved you to
Speaker 1: that room satellite you and these two will stand here.
Speaker 1: It's just it's just a thing, man. It's it's honestly too.
Speaker 1: It's like it's now just become like a ritual, ritual
Speaker 1: so speak. It's interesting with you three because individually I
Speaker 1: really love all three of you, you know, and I
Speaker 1: feel like I have a different relationship with all three
Speaker 1: of you individually, And then you come in and I
Speaker 1: don't know who I really want to talk to. So
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna kind of go down the line here
Speaker 1: and talk to each of you a bit differently, Charles,
Speaker 1: one more question for you, and that's a really question.
Speaker 1: It's just a statement. We were backstage and I'm telling
Speaker 1: the show this. You already know this. We're backstage with
Speaker 1: the opera and Charles was performing and I was performing,
Speaker 1: and my wife was with me, and I believe this
Speaker 1: is Charles the first time to meet my wife. And Charles,
Speaker 1: you know, he'd just say whatever he thinks whenever he's saying.
Speaker 1: He goes up to her and she's not pregnant. He
Speaker 1: goes when you're having a baby. Yeah, And she was like,
Speaker 1: the tall guy just asked me a really weird question. Well,
Speaker 1: I just figure y'all got here. I said, when is
Speaker 1: this baby train starting? Hillary? Could I see you? You know,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about you. And mostly it's kind of
Speaker 1: your relationship with fame because it is such famous, weird
Speaker 1: and I've only been able to like reach out and
Speaker 1: kind of touch it a case like I've had a
Speaker 1: weird career where occasionally I'm cool and then kind of
Speaker 1: you go back to just being normal. But for you guys,
Speaker 1: and you, especially with growing up with a mom who
Speaker 1: is in the business and had her her fame and
Speaker 1: her talent, you you guys blowing up, taking a break,
Speaker 1: coming back, and even again. You and I at a
Speaker 1: different time, we're talking at the opera about you just
Speaker 1: walking out a target and somebody being so surprised they
Speaker 1: saw you just walk out a target. What is it?
Speaker 1: What is fame to you in your relationship with it? Now?
Speaker 1: What have you learned about what it means to actually
Speaker 1: be famous? First off, the top of my head would
Speaker 1: be my relationship with it has changed over the years.
Speaker 1: I think then that's natural. I mean we're fifteen years
Speaker 1: sixteen this summer and to being a band. It's a
Speaker 1: little bit different now with kids. But I think as
Speaker 1: I've gotten older, I consider it, you know, a privilege
Speaker 1: and an honor, and I kind of take the platform
Speaker 1: pretty seriously and really because I just want to be
Speaker 1: a good example for my girls. But ultimately, what I'm
Speaker 1: learning is the older I get, the more work than
Speaker 1: I do, the more normal my life is, the happier
Speaker 1: I am. So I'm gonna go to Target, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store. I'm gonna do those things
Speaker 1: because they're fun for me, and I love being able
Speaker 1: to engage with people who either just hey, that your
Speaker 1: daughter has on a really cute dress, or hey, I
Speaker 1: really love that song that you're saying. Like, however, conversation
Speaker 1: starts in public spaces, I welcome it because it's fun,
Speaker 1: do you. And again, I have now an understanding that
Speaker 1: may change that, especially fame or it's just not that
Speaker 1: it's just not real. It's awesome, it's awful, but in
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you can't touch it. It's
Speaker 1: not real. It goes away. It just isn't something you
Speaker 1: can depend on right, right, And that that's gotta be tough,
Speaker 1: especially when you're young. Because you guys got famous young
Speaker 1: quick boom, your Acts of Stars, International Stars. Was that
Speaker 1: ever a struggle for you as a very young artist?
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like we were talking about this
Speaker 1: in the just a couple of minutes ago. There's a
Speaker 1: bit of being in a band together. Um, when we
Speaker 1: travel together, we get recognized a lot more. And I
Speaker 1: would say Charles gets the brunt of it, just because
Speaker 1: he's six six and you know, he walks into a
Speaker 1: room or walks through the airport and you're you know,
Speaker 1: he's tall. Um, so there, but there is some anonimity
Speaker 1: that comes with being in a band. When we're separate
Speaker 1: from each other in places. Um, but it is, I
Speaker 1: mean it's you. It's really You're bringing up really great point.
Speaker 1: It's it's a strange thing that is ever changing because
Speaker 1: you know, in the prime of like when Needs You
Speaker 1: Now came out and when we did our first arena tour,
Speaker 1: I mean, it was happening a lot more often, um,
Speaker 1: getting recognized out in public and all that. But um,
Speaker 1: that's why we live in Nashville. Everybody's pretty pretty cool here.
Speaker 1: You know. It's like the until they kind of know,
Speaker 1: but they don't really know. They're like you might be
Speaker 1: a little big town, you might be. They just kind
Speaker 1: of like, you know, I know you. And it's very
Speaker 1: different than like, you know, when I'm hanging out with
Speaker 1: like Thomas, Rhett or Luke and you're out somewhere and
Speaker 1: it's just constant. You know. We kind of get this
Speaker 1: perfect little spot where we get to feel like rock
Speaker 1: stars and then get off stage and like you know,
Speaker 1: like together you get to be really freaking famous and
Speaker 1: then apart, sometimes you are, sometimes you're yeah, depending on
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty cool. I like us in the show,
Speaker 1: when we only go dinner together, we don't need all
Speaker 1: of us at once, or we just don't. Dave, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna come to you in a second, because I didn't
Speaker 1: even deep question about the existence of time and earth.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna come, yes. But I do want to
Speaker 1: talk about the brand new song that came out here,
Speaker 1: because you know it's special whenever they bring a snow
Speaker 1: trunk snow cone truck to the studio at the butt
Speaker 1: cracking dawn and they were like, there's a snow cone
Speaker 1: truck outside and I was like, they're a bomb in
Speaker 1: it and they were like, no, Lady sent it up.
Speaker 1: So we had snow cones this morning. And this song
Speaker 1: is called Summer State of Mind, and I'm assuming that
Speaker 1: there's the tie in there. It just wasn't a random
Speaker 1: stuck one drug. Yeah, the first official day of summer,
Speaker 1: softest snow cone ice I've ever had in my life.
Speaker 1: So this song, and if I'm right here, Dave, you
Speaker 1: and Hillary wrote this one with a couple of other folks.
Speaker 1: So when you go into a room because they're writing
Speaker 1: sessions where you're like, somebody's sad, somebody has something that
Speaker 1: they really want to get off their chests. Maybe when
Speaker 1: we write a song about this. But when summer state
Speaker 1: of Mind comes up? Do you go into the room going?
Speaker 1: Because we need like a fun summer song that lets
Speaker 1: people just go like like, what is this vibe? I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: I was down at the beach earlier this year and
Speaker 1: I had sent a guitar idea to Sam Ellis and
Speaker 1: to Charles and Hillary too, and I was just like,
Speaker 1: I don't know when I was I was at the
Speaker 1: beach playing guitar, literally just had on by the beach,
Speaker 1: and I sent it to Sam and then he we
Speaker 1: got to the room and he was like, man, what
Speaker 1: about with that guitar idea something like Summer State of Mine?
Speaker 1: And we were like, oh my gosh, it'd be so fun.
Speaker 1: Charles actually his son got sick and he was unable
Speaker 1: to make it that day. This song's gonna make so
Speaker 1: much money. Sorry, buddy. Time it's the golf course. And
Speaker 1: I just decided because I write a ton and of course,
Speaker 1: like there's been a couple other occasions where it's like
Speaker 1: the one time it's like, oh, I'm going to play golf.
Speaker 1: In this this case, my son was a little sick.
Speaker 1: He was sick and I didn't come in and he
Speaker 1: was a good dad. He was a very next day
Speaker 1: and they said, check out this song that we just wrote,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you did it to me again.
Speaker 1: But it's fun to write fun songs. I mean, we have, like,
Speaker 1: you know, we're starting to kind of just put out
Speaker 1: music just one song at a time for a while
Speaker 1: because we feel like we're in a different you know,
Speaker 1: people consume differently now, you know. The next song we're
Speaker 1: putting out is totally different feel wise. It's more like
Speaker 1: a kind of sad, introspective, kind of lady a kind
Speaker 1: of ballad thing. But I don't know, I just it's
Speaker 1: fun to write these fun songs. We're all out touring
Speaker 1: again and kind of doing the deal at festivals and fairs,
Speaker 1: and this song feels great in those rooms too. When
Speaker 1: you traveled back from the beach, like you were just
Speaker 1: saying into a dreary, stormy Nashville day, and so a
Speaker 1: lot of times, I think when we're in the writing
Speaker 1: room sometimes you want to even just to escape from
Speaker 1: from the weather where you are, I mean, and that
Speaker 1: song just really emoted like the track that you and
Speaker 1: Sam built, it was like, oh, we're gonna go somewhere
Speaker 1: warm today, whether it is here and when we've we've
Speaker 1: done our Christmas album in summer, like you have to
Speaker 1: make your still have to bring in the back head space.
Speaker 1: I have a couple other things I want to talk
Speaker 1: to you guys about. Number one is in the last segment,
Speaker 1: I think Hillary had mentioned that Charles and he walks
Speaker 1: to an airport, gets recognized. You child, You would you
Speaker 1: you're going to airport. It's not normal person airports at
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, you fly. We
Speaker 1: are a list on Southwest. Okay, we I mean listen.
Speaker 1: I think the quickest way to go broke and our
Speaker 1: line of business is I think it's going to last forever,
Speaker 1: and you never know how long, and you know the
Speaker 1: thing's gonna last, and it's like I want to be
Speaker 1: I want to take care and have something to leave
Speaker 1: my kids and stuff. And anytime you start to figure
Speaker 1: out how much you could spend on private planes, it's
Speaker 1: just too much. Another thing a minute ago, we're talking
Speaker 1: about the new song summer State of Mind Tray. Would
Speaker 1: you play me a clip of that again for our
Speaker 1: audience that you're turning in my final summer question, because
Speaker 1: then I got some stuff for day If you here
Speaker 1: about Charles, I'm gonna come to you on one last
Speaker 1: time once, one last time, Yeah, one last time. I
Speaker 1: was at a charity auction and I bid to go
Speaker 1: stay in like your beach house, and I lost by
Speaker 1: like ten dollars, and I know sad. Then I was like,
Speaker 1: how weird would that have been if I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: told him? And then I would just texted him from
Speaker 1: the house being like, bro, is this your play? I
Speaker 1: thought of that had been hilarious, but I didn't win.
Speaker 1: And then your wife kindly at one point reached out
Speaker 1: to me. I was like, hey, do you want to
Speaker 1: just stay in the house for free? I was like,
Speaker 1: I could have gone for free. But at my point
Speaker 1: with those two stories, as you as big as celebrities
Speaker 1: as you guys are, I would like people to know
Speaker 1: that you are You're as normal and nice of folks
Speaker 1: as you can be still being big stars. And that's
Speaker 1: my point with that little intro. There is it you?
Speaker 1: It's odd that you guys can be normal and nice
Speaker 1: and lovely individually as successful as you are. Thank you,
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. Thank you, I mean thank you my wife.
Speaker 1: We actually just hoasted up. Saint Jude dinner in our
Speaker 1: house last night and get that invite. Yeah, funny, I
Speaker 1: hear about it now, but no, it's I think we
Speaker 1: learned early on too about just giving back and charity.
Speaker 1: We started, you know, all our all our heroes did that,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, it's amazing how it's just kind
Speaker 1: of as two as we've had with our families and kids.
Speaker 1: It's just something we're passionate about. But thank you. I
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Hey, Dave, you have a group dynamic here
Speaker 1: with you three. You guys have been together a long time,
Speaker 1: and I can tell from experience myself we've had a
Speaker 1: group dynamic where me Amy, lunchbox. We've been together a
Speaker 1: long time. For you guys, what has been the key?
Speaker 1: And I would not like an answer like communication, because
Speaker 1: that's always a what's the key to marriage? Communication? All right?
Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, I'm good, I know what it means.
Speaker 1: What's been the key to staying together? Even though sometimes
Speaker 1: you don't always want to stay together? And I mean
Speaker 1: that you love each other. We love each other, but
Speaker 1: it's not like we're not real humans and don't fight,
Speaker 1: and at times we have to because we're so close.
Speaker 1: What's the key to staying together over a long period
Speaker 1: of time. I'm not going to use communication and get
Speaker 1: on that train, But I mean, honestly, I think we
Speaker 1: have such a respect for what the three of us
Speaker 1: have when we get in a room together. I mean,
Speaker 1: are we were touring a lot right now, and we
Speaker 1: always talk about we've been a band for fifteen sixteen years.
Speaker 1: We often play like the first song we wrote, and
Speaker 1: it just takes me back to that room, like when
Speaker 1: we walked in, something was different and special there. I
Speaker 1: just feel like no one can take that away from us.
Speaker 1: When the three of us step into a room to
Speaker 1: create something, I know we can. That's just where we're great.
Speaker 1: That's what we do, that's what we love. We feel
Speaker 1: called to do that. So I think it's a respect
Speaker 1: and a remembrance of that which gives us the fuel
Speaker 1: to kind of like power through the times when it's tough.
Speaker 1: Somebody's in a tough season, you know some of the
Speaker 1: other ones kind of we pull each other along. I
Speaker 1: mean honestly, we literally have like seasons where one of
Speaker 1: us may be really struggling in the other two or
Speaker 1: kind of there and supportive and we're listening or present
Speaker 1: with each other and trying to lift each other up.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, but it all comes back to
Speaker 1: me to just the respect of each other's talents, what
Speaker 1: they bring to the table, what we all have when
Speaker 1: the three of us kind of step into a room together.
Speaker 1: Is there a and with us? You know, I communicate
Speaker 1: with Eddie different than I do Amy Amy. If I
Speaker 1: send to Amy a one line email, I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's good, do this and that's all I'm thinking. But
Speaker 1: she needs to be talked to with some extra sentences
Speaker 1: and showing a little extra attention. That's our communication style. Eddie,
Speaker 1: I can do the same thing. And we just talk
Speaker 1: to each other different, although we're different close and different ways.
Speaker 1: Are there different communications that you guys have individually? And
Speaker 1: you know this is how I communicate with Hilary down
Speaker 1: I mean, we know it so well now what we got.
Speaker 1: I'm the fastest. I literally just say what I think
Speaker 1: immediately always, and I doing emails and have to come
Speaker 1: back and one thing, you know, and like Hillary sheets
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle and Dave is it is really
Speaker 1: like sits back, I mean, and sometimes to where it's
Speaker 1: like he won't answer an email. I'm like he doesn't
Speaker 1: like the ideas and starts racing and going I knew it.
Speaker 1: I knew Dave went in and finally it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I was taking my kids tea ball in here,
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm like eight paces down the road thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I feel like we've learned it so well.
Speaker 1: It does feel like a marriage. I mean, we know
Speaker 1: it like the back of our hands. Now we've got
Speaker 1: it all figured out. Has there been a time when
Speaker 1: you guys have and I want to ask you two
Speaker 1: of these and I'm gonna have you play a few
Speaker 1: songs if you don't mind, But has there been a
Speaker 1: time where you you've written a song together two of
Speaker 1: you or three of you and you go, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I mean it was just okay, it's an okay song,
Speaker 1: but it had been a really massive song for you guys.
Speaker 1: Like you left the room and you're like, I don't
Speaker 1: think it was I good, but we at least we
Speaker 1: did something you're never going to know. I say, need
Speaker 1: you know we didn't feel special. Right after you wrote it,
Speaker 1: I would say, run you too. Like we walked off.
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, man, that's a really
Speaker 1: really poetic song, but I was like, it's too heavy.
Speaker 1: It's not the hookiest thing I've ever heard in the world.
Speaker 1: I mean, those two songs, they're like two of our
Speaker 1: biggest Yeah, so uh that was not hooky. I just
Speaker 1: I don't know. None of us walked out of that
Speaker 1: room though, thinking we had written a hit song. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: and especially with need You Now, it was just a
Speaker 1: very stripped basic work tape. And it was the second
Speaker 1: song we wrote that day, and so I think, you know,
Speaker 1: we were just it had been a bit of a
Speaker 1: long day. Were the first one I do that was
Speaker 1: what's called like young love, What's called young love? And
Speaker 1: we were just it was like so forced, you know,
Speaker 1: it was like trying to write a hit song. With
Speaker 1: needs You Now, it was like it just came out.
Speaker 1: It came out in like an hour and a half.
Speaker 1: And then we go into our label meeting, and thankfully
Speaker 1: Charles leaves no stone unturned when it comes to like
Speaker 1: we've written all these songs. It was the last song
Speaker 1: we played in the label meeting, and they said you've
Speaker 1: got to go in and try this, and we're like, really,
Speaker 1: in the rest is history, I mean, and then that
Speaker 1: was the only song that when we brought the label
Speaker 1: ind to play them, like the first six or seven
Speaker 1: off that record when we cut them, that was the
Speaker 1: only one they asked for us to play over. And
Speaker 1: so we were like, oh, okay, maybe we're on Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe we hit something that teach you that after you create,
Speaker 1: you're maybe now in the best place to actually evaluate
Speaker 1: what you created. Were always lean on our team. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest example. It says another thing too,
Speaker 1: while we say like put your you know, your pride
Speaker 1: and your self worth in the process, not the outcome,
Speaker 1: because some certain songs don't work that we thought were
Speaker 1: going to be big hits, and other ones do and
Speaker 1: you're just like, you can't control that, and it's just
Speaker 1: enjoy the process of writing songs and put it out
Speaker 1: there and may all serve a purpose, like a real
Speaker 1: profound purpose. It either breaks you through to the next
Speaker 1: one that was really meant for that time, or it
Speaker 1: is the one you know it just it really never know.
Speaker 1: They all have a journey. Well listed my top three
Speaker 1: Lady A songs of all time, and that's actually number three.
Speaker 1: Need you now coming to a number three? Don't play
Speaker 1: a live here on the countdown and you guys have
Speaker 1: a guitar, and you're so gracious to sing this early
Speaker 1: in the morning. Here is my number three favorite lady

Speaker 1: we go, fix your perfect memory. Scattered all around the floor,
Speaker 1: reaching for the phone because I can't fight it anymore.
Speaker 1: And I wonder if I ever cross your mind for me.
Speaker 1: It happens all the time. It's a quarter after one.
Speaker 1: I'm all alone and I need you now. Said I
Speaker 1: wouldn't cover it. I'm lost controlling. I need you now,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how I can do with I
Speaker 1: just needs you come on a number three. You guys
Speaker 1: have eleven number ones that I have here on the list,
Speaker 1: which is so that's just so many songs, and it's
Speaker 1: got to be difficult to put a set together at
Speaker 1: times because you want to get them all in. And
Speaker 1: but I was I didn't look at the list when
Speaker 1: I was picking my favorite songs, and what I picked
Speaker 1: here at number two was not a number one which
Speaker 1: again reminds me of it's not always about what's number
Speaker 1: one that ends up lasting in people's hearts. In mind,
Speaker 1: it's so true. I mean, love ton't live here was
Speaker 1: number three. I think you look good, went to three,

Speaker 1: you do? Specifically? We'll run to you specifically. It's one
Speaker 1: of those It used to be loved to live here before,
Speaker 1: like running You was a single. But I always know
Speaker 1: if I can go full voice into that falsetto, then
Speaker 1: my voice is in good shape. And then if it
Speaker 1: isn't about a thirty minute panic attack and I'm drinking
Speaker 1: hot tea, I'm doing the Nettie pot and falsetto that's
Speaker 1: the hot so and then I do like and I
Speaker 1: was like love not only fear anymore. And then that's
Speaker 1: it and I'll literally do It's not even this is
Speaker 1: like everyone on our team can attest. This is about
Speaker 1: thirty times a day, probably all haven't. I've been in
Speaker 1: the hotel room multiple times. I can hear through the
Speaker 1: pipes from another room. Oh yeah, true story. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: it's there's I've got a lot of quirks. I mean,
Speaker 1: over the years too, they develop in this kind of
Speaker 1: thing where it's like these little routines kind of just happened.
Speaker 1: I mean, cough drops, hot tea, warm ups, warm ups,
Speaker 1: push ups to get your voice kind of which is
Speaker 1: weird that push ups, but get your blood flowing. I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's it's it's just but at this point
Speaker 1: in your career, you know what works for you exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I can tell too, Like right when like I'm
Speaker 1: about to have like a science affection or something, I'll
Speaker 1: go and I get like a little one of those
Speaker 1: little stair what shots. You know, if you have a

Speaker 1: But I can still be like, you know, see the
Speaker 1: bright side and everything, like I'm so grateful to be here.
Speaker 1: Are you never too high? Never too low? Because it'll
Speaker 1: affect a performance? I mean, are you that Lenny you're thinking? Where? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna focus and make sure we get the best
Speaker 1: out of us and not get so emotional and affects
Speaker 1: us either way. I try to let go of that
Speaker 1: a lot of these shows, Like we're doing this request
Speaker 1: line tour in the fall. We're just gonna take requests
