Number seven. See you like they have focus groups, 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:39.280 maybe in a TV commercial where they have amy there's 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:40.960 a big table and there's all these people sitting around 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:42.239 table and they're like, what do you think about this 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.519 color or this name?

Okay, so you have 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:55.480 audio of you doing this? Are you just gonna tell me? Now? 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.560 I got audio. I sat them down in the room 0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.920 right before bedtime, and I pulled it out of my backpack. 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.080 Because you gave it to me. And I read the 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.000 title of the book, and my three year old had 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.240 a problem with the concept of the book. It's called 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:10.160 Stanley the Dog the first day of school. What do 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:18.800 you think? What do you mean? Good point? Yeah, man, 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.280 he's right, I mean right on the bat. He was 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.960 just like he saw the dog and the school bus window, 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.759 and he was just like, this dog don't go to school. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.920 That's silly. And he just was he was like, I 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:29.760 don't get it. When I told my the publisher of 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:31.640 the book, I said, here's my dad, They said, dogs 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:36.360 don't go to school, exact thing. So I get it. Okay, 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.320 So here's the clip on lunchbox reading my book to 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.679 his boys. Today was the first day of school, and 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:50.240 Stanley really didn't want to go. He bittered over which 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.360 color to wear. He didn't even touch his birth Yeah. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:02:00.840 School bus yep, beep, went the bus on, said Bobby, 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.640 and with a stumb one a bumble, Stanley trotted off 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:12.320 to catch Drew the school. The more Stanley, I like 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:16.400 the show show that's what I feel like. That's the same. 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:17.720 I'm like, I'm like I felt that, you know what 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.040 it feels like. No lunch bugs. I mean over and over. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.720 My two year old was obsessed with the school bus. 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.079 That's every time we turned the page and like, dead out, 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.280 where's the school bus? And he made me go back 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.040 to the school bus. He just wanted to look at 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.040 the school bus the whole time. All right, so focus 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.519 good loves to school bus. All right, what did you 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.040 get to into the book? Oh, we got to end 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.720 the big book. And they loved it and they enjoyed it. 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.360 They thought it was funny and they liked the dogs, 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.800 but they were My three year old got set. He 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.560 was like, why does the other dog tom me us 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.040 to go to the back of the wine? That's mean, 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.560 that's the points. Yes, not everybody's schools. Super nice to Stanley, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.280 but hey, you know he finds where he fits in, 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.400 which is just with himself. Yes, yes, And so it 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.120 was a success. And we read it two nights in 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.440 a row and we'll see about tonight. If nights three 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.320 nights in a row? Is that all the whole vibe 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.119 every time you're reading, just all the any book you're reading, well, 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.480 not well, not all the time. I mean, if they 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.840 like it, they ask questions about it, but they want 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.000 to see certain things but yes, you go back to 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.040 that page the school bus, Dad school bus loves the 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.360 school bus. Yeah. Yeah, it's not gonna show a lottery story, Bobby, 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:24.160 a lottery story. There's another lottery story. Okay, well, thank you. 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:25.920 If you guys want to get the book, you can. 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.000 It's like fifteen bucks, it is. I'm very proud of 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.560 it not keeping any of the money that would make 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.480 from the first year. People go why the first year 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.400 because usually doesn't make any money after the first year. 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:34.680 So I just don't want to have to keep up 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:36.280 with it when I'm seventy three years old and be like, 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.160 well I didn't give him six bucks this year, and 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.120 then I never going to jail or something, you know, 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:41.800 and then you get called out yees. So it's like 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.080 year a year. Anybody who make the book in a year, 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:48.200 we're gonna donate. Well, reread it and Stevenson was enjoyed it. 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.000 He's totally different age than he's eleven, but he still 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.440 enjoyed it as an eleven year old and his favorite, 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.640 I think was the surprise from a cat makes an appearance. 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.000 So there's not just stalks. So a three year old 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.000 eleven year old and rumor is Ray loved it too, 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:07.600 right yet different message for everybody. It's the Best Bits 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:12.120 of the week with Morgan. Number two, we got an 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:17.400 update on the whole Gavin DeGraw text message situation last weekend. 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.479 I had Scooba Steve on the Best Bits. If you 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.240 missed that, you can go check that out, and he 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.120 talked to us about the text message that him and 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.920 Eddie sent Gavin DeGraw of somebody covering his song when 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.440 they were down in Memphis, and while the show gave 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.159 them a pretty hard time about using a phone number 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.919 from professional reasons to personal reasons. And when Eddie was 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.880 out at Bobby's show this past weekend, he asked Gavin 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.839 DeGraw live in person how he felt about that text message, 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.560 and Eddie told us what all transpired. But you know, 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.440 Mike came in this weekend. He was also at Bobby's 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.240 show and shared some more behind the scenes. You know, 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.880 there's just this story is like an onion, It just 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.919 keeps unfolding. But here's one of the parts. Number six. 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.880 So as a reminder, we had a segment last week 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.120 and Eddie and Scuba Steve were in Memphis. They went 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.480 to watch the Elvis movie and while they were there. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:10.400 They go to a bar and they see a guy 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.600 playing Gavin DeGraw. I don't want to be this song 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:19.240 right here from Gavin Degarral. There's a guy just covering 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.479 this song in a bar, and they think, since Gavin's 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:22.919 been on the show once and they happened to have 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.640 his number for professional reasons, they needed to text him 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.960 a video at one in the morning. It was a 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.000 good version, though. This guy was really good, right, I 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.080 hear you sure? And so we talked about how that's 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:34.680 kind of awkward. You're not friends with him, No, we 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.360 don't really know him. It's like getting his number off 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:37.600 a medical form and then being like, oh, I have 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.640 his number, let me. It was Scuba's idea, he said, 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.960 should I text him? I said yes, absolutely. I say, 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:45.800 Gavin's a nice guy, is probably not gonna be mad. 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.440 But that's inappropriate. You can't do that. You can't go 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.760 down to Broadway here in Nashville and be like, hey, Garth, 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.240 there's friends in low places here. This is Sally doing it. Man. 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:57.200 You guys railed us for doing that, railed mildly reem. 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.240 So Gavin came out at my show. I brought him 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.760 out on Saturday night as a surprise. And so he's 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.200 backstage where he surprised the crowd inside of my comedy 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.920 and inspirational show, and you asked him about this, Yeah, 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:11.480 he was backstage. So I said, hey, dam can I 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.560 ask you a question? You know how we texted you 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.760 with of that version of that guy singing your song, 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.400 like what's that? Inappropriate? Teams like what are you talking about? No, 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.520 he was He didn't say what are you talking about? 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.920 He said, quote, I will tell you what he said. 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.520 He goes, dude, I really enjoyed that, Like I like 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.960 the reminder of like, that's cool. People are still playing 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.560 my music to me. It's very flattering. And then he 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.320 ended with this nice to you. Go ahead. Hey. He 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.120 ended with next time you see someone else playing that, dude, 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:42.880 text away. Yeah, all right, Scuba, we're good. Dude, all right, cool? 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.320 You do realize more. He's a nice guy. And he 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.320 was just being what do you think he's gonna say, dude, 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.440 don't do that? Yeah, yeah, I would expect him to 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.320 be like, ah, man, yeah I was a little weird 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.480 or whatever, but he didn't say that. He said, dude, 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.479 it was I was very flattered by that. But he 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.520 also could have just stopped it. I was flattered and 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.400 it was cool. He didn't have to add on send 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.440 it to me next time. That's why I think that 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.360 he's just being super nice and it's like, yeah, man, 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.320 who wants to see Yeah. I think it would be 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.280 a different answer if Bobby asked him as opposed to 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.240 the person that sent the text. Okay, Bobby, Let's say 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.239 that we're somewhere and I see someone covering raging idiots 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.000 or someone else that has happened before, and I wanted 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.320 it because but I'm not. I'm not famous, but I 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.040 don't have that Gavina Grossong is so massive. Ten thousand 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:24.760 people are covering it every night, and you're friends with 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.720 Bobby Amy. Okay, not me, bad example, but anybody like 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.720 that paple all the way around, Yeah, all the way around. 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.640 The rule is if you're not if you haven't texted 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.120 with them on a personal basis before in a friendly way, 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.360 don't text them. If it period, if you get their 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.440 number from the show, okay, you should be like who 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:43.880 punishment one day should be like if you do you 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.679 mess up or do something, you have to text someone 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.680 from your phone. No, they do that anyway. That's not 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.040 that's fun. Hey, you know what else so embarrassing? He said, 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:53.680 did you send that to me? I said, no, Scuba 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.160 days like, well, let me give you my number so 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.840 you can text me next time. Okay, that's what I'm saying, 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.160 stories being exact. And then he said, hey, come over 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:04.400 tonight and when at dinner he never said that. Gavin 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.480 a girl so good? This song Ford, you know, he 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.560 did this whole album about his you know, and the 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.160 story is his parents died in a lot of death 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.080 and he wanted to finish this album before his dad died. 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.440 His dad was diagnosed with cancer and he got to 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.920 play it for his dad right before he died. He'd 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:21.720 been working on it. His dad listened to it, and 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.520 his dad died very soon after that. And the first 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.200 track on it's called you know the River, and it's 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.360 about his dad finally going to meet his mom because 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.120 his mom passed away earlier. Super emotional. He has a 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:36.400 song called Ford. It's like what you should appreciate in life. 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.680 I mean, there is not a more country song the meaning, 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.280 the message than this song right here. It played the 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:47.679 hook of that song for me right count lessons and 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:57.160 praise the Lord that he work card and you get 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.040 it's such a good song, you know, for us in 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:02.600 this room, for us to listen to the show, this 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.360 is it's a great message for our kind of people. 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.400 It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two. 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.920 I love it so much when Jimmy Allen stops by 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.240 the show. He's so human, so real and just is 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.120 totally raw in his interviews. He shares all his feelings 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.839 and everything right off the chest and no filter, which 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.160 is my favorite thing about him. He came in that 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.040 interview was so much fun. But not only that, he 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.960 is becoming a professional bowler, or at least that's his 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.079 goal in the next year. So definitely listen to this. 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.000 Number five. Jimmy, he's got a new album out today. 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.240 It's crazy it's only your third album. I feel like 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.679 you put out so much good stuff, but I guess 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.080 a lot of that stuff's just not an album. It's 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.199 like this is for third full project. Yeah, third full project. 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.839 It's like I'll hear that there. Sometimes I hear like, wow, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.760 you got three albums out already on your fifth single 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.160 because you figured as some artists that just now put 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.440 out an EP on like their third single. Yeah, but 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.360 then he also got to play covers their whole show. 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.720 So it's kind of like you're always have a lot 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.120 of really cool people because you have great songs yourself, 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:04.720 but you have the ability to get really cool people 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:09.280 to do songs with you and to also share the 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.400 message that you want shared, and all of your collaborations. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.400 It's like you don't bring someone on and they just 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.199 are out of nowhere and it doesn't make sense. It's 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:20.200 like you bring on great communicators of what the song 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.360 actually means, and it's it's it's a really cool thing 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.040 that you do. And so I'll talk about that for 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:25.640 a second because on this record, and I do want 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.360 talk about the Jennifer Lopes thing because I saw that 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.599 I was like, holy crap, how did you get j 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.160 Loo to be on a song? So she it's a 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.840 remake of her song on My Way from her movie 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.959 Marrying Me, and like, I know somebody that works with her, 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.240 and he reached out and was like, Hey, we want 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.440 to do a remake of this JLO song? Would you 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.200 be down to do it? I would say that's a 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.000 dumb question, of course, Like I don't care what the 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:48.880 song is about. I didn't even know what song is 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.280 going to be? I said yes, So he just sent 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.680 it over. She'd already done her vocals on so I 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.840 just did mind and like and I just sent it back. 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.280 That's cool. So it kind of came to you. But 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.839 then you got to also go this is is still 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.360 a me thing. Yeah. So then after we did it, 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.360 it was like, hey the record can we put on 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.360 the record? Now? The Celo t Pain thing was different, 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.400 like I was in Miami ges himself with pit Bull, 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.240 and then I went to studio and my boy Vinny 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.840 that produces some Celo stuff, said hey, Jimmy, Celo got 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:19.920 this verse. He got a chorus, but he wants to 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.240 like change it. What do you want to do? See 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:23.679 if you can ride a course to it? So I said, 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.959 all right, play the track. So I just hopped in 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.440 the booth free stopped this chorus, then went back and 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.120 recorded it and I called te Pain a couple days 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.160 later that bro, I got this song on Celo, you 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:34.800 want to do it? You just called him? Yeah, It's 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:41.760 like hello, yeah, he was like, can I buy your drink? 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.560 I'm good? So then he said yeah, so he did it. 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:47.560 Now I was gonna there's a hip hop artist I 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.480 was texting to do the third verse, so I was like, 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.959 oh wait, no, I want a verse. I don't want 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:53.720 to just sing the chorus on a song on my 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.719 record and then Katio the other features. So every album 0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.600 I want to have an artist that doesn't have a 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.560 record with the song. So it started with Betty James 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.520 Gold Edition with Neon Union, who me and my buddy 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.360 Aaron ben would just signed, just got them their first 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:11.559 record deal. Now Katio she's an artist in town that 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:13.840 used to demo sing a lot of songs that they 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.360 would pitch to, like artists like Carrie Mary and Carl whoever. 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.800 But the problem is Nashville sometimes if you become a 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.200 demo singer, you get pitch and hold is that. So 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.520 she's a great artist and we had her come in 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.360 because the song we did, broken Heart, is gonna be 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.840 to do it anyway. My boy was like, hey, let's 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.640 have this girl Katio come demo. I was like cool, 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.760 So she came in. I was like, wait, wait, no, 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.640 let's just keep her on the song that way, you know. 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.880 One It's I feel like I've been given a platform 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.600 and people have given me opportunities. I feel like it's 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.560 my job to do that for other people. So I'm 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.440 excited for the world to hit katiel. What's interesting about that. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.680 What I hear when you tell that story is Reba, 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.800 you know, does he love you? Linda Davis? Does he 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.560 love you? When? So they do this and she was 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.040 just singing the demo for the song because she was 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.360 with Reba's touring group, and they were like, well, who 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:03.360 do you want to get on it? And they had 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.079 gone through according to urban legend. I think reve actually 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:07.560 told me this, it's not that urban of a legend. 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:09.600 They had gone through people to do it. She was like, no, 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.840 let's just have Linda do it. She sounds great, and 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.000 she's already on tour with us as a background singer, 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.200 and so she was like, and she's a great artist 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.840 that no one has actually let beat and so that 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.240 song does he think me? And so that's that similar 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.720 to what you just told her. Because Katie's a nurse, 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.040 so she'll go work her nurse shifts and still write. 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.520 So like you know, nurses work twelve hours, so she'll 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.120 go work twelve hours still then still go write songs 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.480 and still go recording music. So I just you know, 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.800 I had so much respect for her in the hustle. 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.679 You know, we really appreciate people to guy hustle bro 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.040 because we try to appreciate It's like a time machine 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:44.760 and I'll speak and you can agree or disagree. But 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.320 you say that and it resonates with me because I go, man, 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.480 somebody's just killing themselves. I think that's why I was 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.440 drawn to you early because I would see you just 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:53.960 going so hard for what you wanted and I admired 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.720 that because nothing was given to you. And I'm like, 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.240 I like it. I want to help them, but in reality, 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:58.679 I just wanted to help me. That's what I did, 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.839 and I wanted somebody to help me. So when you 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.839 that's how I feel because you talk about her and 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.559 I'm like, yes, I should help her. Yeah, man, but 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.480 I think we're actually trying to help ourselves in the past. 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.600 Oh yeah. And it's kind of like it's that's what 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.560 could next us Because me the one my biggest pet 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.480 peeve lazy people. People say I want this, I want that, 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.880 but have it. They've never taken one step in the 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:20.760 direction to achieve said career they want, you know, But 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.640 when I see someone like exhausting every option to make 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.520 it happen. I'm like, that's when you step in, because 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.280 that's what someone did for us. We got to a 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.280 point where we worked our butt off, when we got 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.240 good at what we were doing a little bit enough 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.080 to get someone's attention. And people say, you know what, 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.480 they're investing in themselves, so I'm gonna invest in them. Yeah. 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:40.720 They just kicked the door and cracked it a little bit. 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.760 Kick crack a little bit and let us have a 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:44.440 shot to get enter the room. Hold the door, give 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.680 us some more time to get through it. Just hold 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:48.960 it for him for a second. Jimmy Allen us here 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.880 records out today called Tulip Drive. What I want to 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.120 mention too, And we were talking about this before you 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:55.920 came on. But Jimmy took a red eye to get 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.200 here to do the show today. Hey, what's the red 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.560 eye to you? A red eye a picture or yourself 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:02.520 like in La trying to get to New York and 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:06.000 you do it overnight or something, and you maybe catch 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:07.760 the flight at midnight and La La, you wake up 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:09.920 in New York. So a red eye because I'm assuming 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:11.640 you you're tired in your eyes are red, but it's 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.040 an overnight flight. They're they're difficult because it throws you off. 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.600 And yeah, you're obviously, like you said, you hustle and 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.640 you got here, and I appreciate that. But why you 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.080 were confused as a red eye to you is the 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.600 same thing. Yeah, so this wasn't that I had a stop. 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.920 I went from one ratches city to another one. I 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.240 went from Oakland to Troit. Like at midoy, my credit 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.320 score dropped one hundred points. Okay, you can't if you're 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.040 gonna take me from Oakle to Detroit, can we at 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:42.520 least stop and Scottsdale in between? Even Utah? You know, 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.000 maybe Salt Lake City, you know, they could pray for 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:46.840 me out there to get my credit score back up. 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.240 And then I came to Nashville. But uh, that's what 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.080 I didn't realize it had a stop until I got 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.360 on the plane. I was like, wait, what, Yeah, that's 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.200 just two connectors at night. That's not a red eye. 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:56.880 He hung out for like two hours in an airport. 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.560 Let's fly you here. Yeah, you know, ten fifty your time. 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.120 You know, we'll take you to Detroit at six am 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.120 and you'll stay there for two hours. And you gotta 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.240 stay away because you want to fall asleep mission flight 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:09.520 and then you get on another flight and come in here. 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.240 Oh yeah, so here it is. Well, you look good, 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.160 you know. I try to put a little piece together 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.160 what you have? Quite that? But you have five or 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:23.240 six brothers, sisters? I have you got his fingers out 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.200 by the way for them. I don't four sisters, two, 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.480 three brothers. And what is that dynamic like with you 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:30.760 doing what you do? Because this is a weird job. 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:32.480 You're really good at it. This is a weird job 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.160 that you're a performer and you do. What do they think? 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.680 And what's like generally, what's the family do? They don't 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.560 really care. They still just treat me like Jimmy, so 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.400 like it's an inside joke, and my friends and families 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.240 know me forever. They still treat me like Jimmy with 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.520 a why. So I switched Jimmy to an I E. 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:51.880 A year before I got my record deal out of 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.600 honor my grandma because she spelled Betty I E. So 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:57.920 everybody knew me with a why and I was like 0:16:57.960 --> 0:16:59.840 the Delaware day. So my family still treat me like 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.040 me in a while. My brother is a construction he's 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.239 one of the top governors at the Mooselage. You know 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.360 that we all hang out in delibacy takes that very 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.320 shious shout out to the Mooselage, by the way. Uh 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:15.000 My one sister used to work at the Constorium. I 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.960 like a lot of special these people. Um My one brother, 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:21.919 I don't know what he does. All I know is 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.119 he always has money, but I never see him working. 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:28.000 So I leave that. I won't even say that. He 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.000 don't like to say that at all. He doesn't like 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.080 that at all. It is what it is, Okay. I 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.639 don't know what he does. He says he's always working. 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.080 I never see him work, but he has money. Now 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:42.959 my issue. Uh My one sister works from home. Uh 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:46.240 she's a Nashville Uh she works with some insurance company 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:50.040 I don't remember. And my other sister, Dan Yelle, is 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.600 in Texas. I don't know what she does either, but 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.879 she works, so I know she goes to work. Sounds 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:58.879 like I need a little more connection. Yeah, but it's 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:00.479 like we don't really talk. Like we don't ever talk 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.680 about my job either. So you know, we just talk. 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.480 We hang out, We do family stuff, We play games. 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.400
