Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number two.
Speaker 1: What's up, y'all. If you're listening to this, you have
Speaker 1: met the bit side of the Best Bits. This is
Speaker 1: part two where I just intro the bits and the
Speaker 1: bits play. The conversation this weekend was with Abby and
Speaker 1: it was super awesome. So if you want to hear that,
Speaker 1: make sure you listen to part one. That's just the conversation.
Speaker 1: I'll still break down the bits, but right now we're
Speaker 1: getting into the bits that you want to hear in
Speaker 1: case you missed it this week. So coming in at
Speaker 1: number seven, Raymundo had an awkward encounter with a listener
Speaker 1: and now he may close his account at the bank
Speaker 1: because of it. So a lot of drama with this one,
Speaker 1: because Raymundo felt very violated in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1: Here you go, number seven. All right, we voted in
Speaker 1: the room, although Lunchbox did call him click bait Ray Ray,
Speaker 1: segment has been chosen and pick a bit. Ray had
Speaker 1: an awkward experience at the bank with a listener. Raymundo,
Speaker 1: your bit has been chosen. What would you like to
Speaker 1: do here? So I go into the bank and I
Speaker 1: have a check to cash, and I cash with the
Speaker 1: lady there and everything was just fine. She's getting my
Speaker 1: money out, and she goes, hey, I'm a really big
Speaker 1: fan of the show, and I'm like, great, she got
Speaker 1: my account open. Here we go and she said I
Speaker 1: also love Amy. Cool, I'm not Amy. But she continues
Speaker 1: and she goes, hey, I'm looking at your account. And again,
Speaker 1: I'm just cashing a check, and she says, I see
Speaker 1: you don't have a savings account. Why is my account open?
Speaker 1: Why is she looking into my savings account when I'm
Speaker 1: just catching a check. So I'm sitting there, I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: it's in my wife's name. And she goes, well, would
Speaker 1: you like me to pull up your wife's account and
Speaker 1: then bring that over to your account as well? And
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, you're you're a fan of the show.
Speaker 1: I just want to check cash. I want you out
Speaker 1: of my account. And so then and then she says, well,
Speaker 1: I see here that you don't ever put any money
Speaker 1: in savings and I'm like, oh my gosh, close my
Speaker 1: account and just give me the check. And so my
Speaker 1: out was yeah, I'll I'll just take twenties. That'll be perfect.
Speaker 1: And she gave me the twenties and then I said,
Speaker 1: thank you have a good day, and in my head,
Speaker 1: I said, I will never come back to this game again,
Speaker 1: the bank again. I'm closing my account, but why why
Speaker 1: do you don't need to get into my account when
Speaker 1: I'm cashing a check. So you wish they wouldn't have
Speaker 1: said they were a show listeners. It was bad form
Speaker 1: on their part that she said she was a fan
Speaker 1: and she's interested, yes, so she probably should have just
Speaker 1: I think everything she did, though, was normal. I think
Speaker 1: if she were able to do it without saying she
Speaker 1: was a fan, you wouldn't have felt violated. It did
Speaker 1: feel like snooping a little bit, but I will never
Speaker 1: go back to that bank again. Considering closing the account,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a that's a bit too much.
Speaker 1: I don't need somebody told me I need to put
Speaker 1: money into savings. It is weird, though, when people have
Speaker 1: access to your accounts and they're also like, have a
Speaker 1: big fan. That's weird. Once ten years ago, some officers
Speaker 1: showed up to my door and I looked out that
Speaker 1: a little thing. I moved the little hatch back and
Speaker 1: I could see him. They dropped two badges and I
Speaker 1: was like, what is happening? They said, you mind if
Speaker 1: we come out and see. Yeah, and they came in
Speaker 1: and those badges were IRS badges. Yeah, I just have batches,
Speaker 1: but like we work on the IRS Task Force and
Speaker 1: I'm like, what did I do? And so, but it
Speaker 1: turns out a listener had hacked into all my IRS
Speaker 1: files and then was such a big fan of the show,
Speaker 1: got into Amy's got into and so they were like,
Speaker 1: do you want to press charges? Do you know who
Speaker 1: this is? And I was like, yeah, she shows up
Speaker 1: at remote like remote broadcasts all the time. We knew
Speaker 1: who she was in the IRS. Yeah, but the FBI
Speaker 1: was involved too. I lived in North Carolina at the time,
Speaker 1: so the FBI is the one that questioned me. It
Speaker 1: went from IRS to FBI. Yeah, but they were the
Speaker 1: ones first. They were like, do you recognize this person?
Speaker 1: They brought me a picture of her. But it does
Speaker 1: feel a bit of a violation whenever it isn't to
Speaker 1: be a fan, but when someone knows you, But it
Speaker 1: also works at a place where they can get inside
Speaker 1: your information and see like your guts. I mean, she
Speaker 1: had already seen it all. But thank goodness, there's also
Speaker 1: an internal system that will flag people like how she
Speaker 1: got caught was she was looking at things clearly she
Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to. When it got red flagged and then
Speaker 1: they were like, wait, why is this person in San
Speaker 1: Antonio looking up these people? And then they can did
Speaker 1: the dots. They were like what did these people have
Speaker 1: in common? And it was a show and they said that,
Speaker 1: oh wait, okay one of my ex girlfriends at the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like she went in on me every way, and then
Speaker 1: started just dude, going around the dots. Just look what
Speaker 1: everybody in part of a federal investigation where people put
Speaker 1: our names together, and someone on the team or someone
Speaker 1: investigating was like, that's the Boppy Bone show. And then
Speaker 1: they started reaching out to all of us. And I
Speaker 1: remember when they got there, I sit down in the
Speaker 1: chair and sort of pulling water over my face. They're like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing on like some waterboarding me. I
Speaker 1: know you guys want some answers, you just don't hear yourself. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was scary. I think my story saved your bit Ray.
Speaker 1: Thank you. It's kine. I wouldn't picked his no matter what. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, is he getting reputation to clickbit Ray? No?
Speaker 1: I think that that's right. I think he is clickbit ray.
Speaker 1: It's like he was pretty good. The headline was pretty good,
Speaker 1: but click bit ray, I mean it works on the internet.
Speaker 1: Why not clig bit ray. I might need to change
Speaker 1: the title of my story then, yeah, a murder in
Speaker 1: my house? Maybe no, but it's not true. HiT's still
Speaker 1: kind of true. All right, right, thank you for your story. Yep.
Speaker 1: It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan number two.
Speaker 1: It's number six on the Best Bits this week. The
Speaker 1: show share the things they are geeking out over right now,
Speaker 1: and they're across the board, from basketball to Forrest bathing
Speaker 1: to reality TV shows too fishing. It is all the
Speaker 1: fun things that sometimes we never get a geek out over.
Speaker 1: So you get to hear that from the show right now,
Speaker 1: number six. All right, this segment it's called nerding out.
Speaker 1: It's what we're all individually nerding out about. We even
Speaker 1: have nerdy music hit that please. All right, nerding out
Speaker 1: amy your first go Well. I'm nerding out about forrest
Speaker 1: bathing because I keep reading about it in like health
Speaker 1: and wellness as a way to decrease stress and stuff.
Speaker 1: So I'm finally gonna go take myself to a forest
Speaker 1: bath this weekends A forest bath. Well, all you gotta
Speaker 1: do is just go be out with nature. I'm going
Speaker 1: to go to this woods area where I like to hike,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna sit and soak up like all the
Speaker 1: things I'm going to breathe. You're fully closed. It's not
Speaker 1: like you're taking a back You're not in the water. No,
Speaker 1: you're not in the water. You're you're soaking up nature
Speaker 1: the trees. Like. So, I guess what's it called forest
Speaker 1: bathing ages? I don't know, zero th eighteen forest bathing
Speaker 1: for life. For me, I loved in the woods basically. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess. I'm sure it's good for your stress level.
Speaker 1: So why again, um, decreased stress, boosted immunity, and it
Speaker 1: helps me. There's a boost immunity when you're sitting in
Speaker 1: the woods because like, if you're feeling one with nature
Speaker 1: and healthier, and if your stress is decreased, your immunity
Speaker 1: is better. I mean, that's all right, interesting, all right,
Speaker 1: nerding out what you got? Man? So you know, I
Speaker 1: love fishing. The guy this guy in North Carolina, he
Speaker 1: caught a fish that broke a sixty year old record.
Speaker 1: This fish was twelve pounds eight ounces. I mean it's huge.
Speaker 1: I saw it. I'm like, that is a beautiful fish.
Speaker 1: What kind of fish though, because like a catfish, they
Speaker 1: go to like one hundred. Sure, I get it. It's
Speaker 1: a speckled trout, smaller. My goal recently has been to
Speaker 1: catch a trout. There's a like thirty minutes from here.
Speaker 1: I will do it in the next couple of years.
Speaker 1: I know I can't. Who's gonna do it? First? Lunchbox
Speaker 1: wins a lottery, already catches a record trump the fish
Speaker 1: mine is. The NCAA tournament starts on Thursday, officially with
Speaker 1: the sixty four they're playing games. Um not on Thursday.
Speaker 1: They've already happened, But on Thursday it happens. You can
Speaker 1: still bet. You can still build your bracket. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you tips. Now, pick the lower numbers, okay, just
Speaker 1: in Generally pick number one two. Yes, they're the better team.
Speaker 1: Sixty four percent of the time a number one seed
Speaker 1: wins the tournament, wins the whole thing. There are four
Speaker 1: number ones, Gonzaga, Arizona, Kansas, and Baylor. There are number two's.
Speaker 1: We could go through the whole thing, but they are
Speaker 1: number eleven. Literally, pick the lower numbers there were gonna
Speaker 1: be some upsets, but usually what happens most of the
Speaker 1: time is that the lower numbers win, so we can
Speaker 1: still bet like through I don't want to do a bracket,
Speaker 1: but I can do like draft kings. Okay, I'm you're
Speaker 1: my coach. I don't want to be in charge of
Speaker 1: your minds. Okay, I'm going Baylor number one all the way.
Speaker 1: Take it. Okay, that's what my dad would want to
Speaker 1: You can't. You know you're not gonna be You can
Speaker 1: bet them to win. You can be what they call
Speaker 1: a future to win at all if you want. But
Speaker 1: you can also bet individually each game. Okay, all right, Well,
Speaker 1: I guess I'm gonna be busy. I'm not gonna watch
Speaker 1: though to watch. I have a coach her, then watch
Speaker 1: for her. I'll be watching, yes, But that's my tip.
Speaker 1: It's an easy tip. Don't pick a lot of ups
Speaker 1: You can pick up occasional upset or two, but generally
Speaker 1: the data shows the lower numbers win more games and
Speaker 1: win the tournament. Who are you saying going to win Arkansas?
Speaker 1: But they're not said what I said. There are four
Speaker 1: other than Arkansas. I think I think Tennessee got robbed.
Speaker 1: There are three, but I think they probably should have
Speaker 1: been a two or maybe even a one. I think
Speaker 1: your school, Texas and m got robbed of being in
Speaker 1: the tournament. Period should not be in the tournament. Oh,
Speaker 1: there's a there's a lot of different things happening here,
Speaker 1: but um I'm going with Arkansas or Tennessee, Kentucky. Okay,
Speaker 1: no number ones there? Okay, gets correct? Yeah, thank you,
Speaker 1: lunch box, you're up. Look, guys, I've been telling you
Speaker 1: about the Challenge on MTV for years. West Banana, CT
Speaker 1: Laurel kill It Cam. I'll tell you guys, you gotta
Speaker 1: watch it. No one cares about the Challenge. No one
Speaker 1: likes the Challenge. That's why the Challenge is coming to CBS.
Speaker 1: It got a spinoff. Baby, when you want to know,
Speaker 1: when you're huge and TV is you get a spinoff series.
Speaker 1: They're gonna take people from Big Brother, Survivor and Amazing
Speaker 1: Race and they're gonna put them on the Challenge. And
Speaker 1: we got another rendition of the Challenge. Whoo. They've done
Speaker 1: this form of show for a long time. They used
Speaker 1: to do Battle of Network Media Stars, Battle of Sport.
Speaker 1: So the Challenge itself isn't New. But I think what
Speaker 1: we don't care about are the people on the MTV
Speaker 1: Challenge because we don't know who they are. Well, you
Speaker 1: should care because it used to just be Real World
Speaker 1: and Road Rules people, and now they're going to CBS
Speaker 1: and the winner of that gets an automatic bid into
Speaker 1: the MTV show Battle the World. What if the people
Speaker 1: that win are like, now, I'm good to go play down.
Speaker 1: I just won the big one. You're on CBS. That'd
Speaker 1: be fun. It'd be fun to watch your favorite network
Speaker 1: reality stars play against each other. I probably won't watch it,
Speaker 1: but I do say where that would be fun. All right.
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna get on the Challenge train if
Speaker 1: it were shows I cared about. If it were like
Speaker 1: Dwight from the Office, you know, it wouldn't Larry David
Speaker 1: from Curb your enthusiasms. You can't have Jennifer Aniston. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that would be fun because I care about them.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go. That's nerding out. Thank you guys,
Speaker 1: and jam out to some music for five seconds. Turn
Speaker 1: it up. Yet we're just nerding out. We're nothing but nerds,
Speaker 1: and we're just nerding out. It's the best bits of

Speaker 1: good Man? How are you? You know? Eddie said, he
Speaker 1: came in the studio and he said he I saw
Speaker 1: possibly Ernest driving down the road, and he said it
Speaker 1: looked like two cartoon characters. It could have been. And
Speaker 1: because your car is a seventy five Coop Deville, yeah
Speaker 1: that was it. And yeah that was it. What did
Speaker 1: you see inside the car? Just two dudes? Like I mean,
Speaker 1: the music was so loud. We were at a red
Speaker 1: light and you had pulled up next to me, and
Speaker 1: my car was shaking because you guys were jamming to something.
Speaker 1: It's almost like that TikTok video where you guys are
Speaker 1: just not both not talking to each other, but nod
Speaker 1: in your head listening to something really good. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: sounds about right. Who do you think was in the
Speaker 1: car with him? Maybe Hardy? Just because you both have
Speaker 1: like trucker hats on. I didn't recognize Hardy. Maybe he
Speaker 1: didn't have glasses on or what. I think it was
Speaker 1: my boy, Folly, classic, classic Boy. That's awesome. People are
Speaker 1: loving the new record. Thank you. You know. I had
Speaker 1: a radio guy that reached out to me, UM and said, hey,
Speaker 1: I don't often say this. It's uh one of our
Speaker 1: guys that runs the station of South Carolina. Just privately,
Speaker 1: he says, this is the only record that I love
Speaker 1: every single song on it. And he said in like
Speaker 1: twenty years. Wow. And so that wasn't him blowing smoke
Speaker 1: because you were doing an interview. He was just telling
Speaker 1: me that, you know, offhand because you come to the
Speaker 1: house into the podcast. That's wow. That's awesome. Um. I
Speaker 1: want to play a little clip here. This is Sucker
Speaker 1: for Small Towns. I really like this one. This is
Speaker 1: track one on his record, I'm a Sucker for Small
Speaker 1: Saturday Night. So this album has everything. It's got the
Speaker 1: slow ones that I of. It is a is a
Speaker 1: pure country album and congratulations on him. Man, it's really good.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it when you make music because you know
Speaker 1: you've written all kinds of songs for all kinds of people.
Speaker 1: How do you know what songs you want to keep
Speaker 1: for you and what songs you want to let somebody
Speaker 1: else record? Pretty early on, while the song is getting written,
Speaker 1: I can have that emotional connection with it. When I
Speaker 1: start singing it, I know pretty pretty well then and there,
Speaker 1: and in the same way I know when it sounds
Speaker 1: like if it's a Morgan song or Chris Lane or
Speaker 1: somebody else, if I'm gonna let it go. How many
Speaker 1: songs on Morgan's last double album did you write with
Speaker 1: with him or right period? Lib That's a lot. Wow, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a lot. And you're doing these shows out with
Speaker 1: Morgan now, Like, what is it like to get I mean,
Speaker 1: these these arenas are packed. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you
Speaker 1: the hardest part is not being able to play any
Speaker 1: of my Morgan songs in myself in my set. But
Speaker 1: uh no, it's great. His fan base is awesome and
Speaker 1: they've taken me on well, and playing in front of
Speaker 1: any crowd is awesome, and they're singing your songs back
Speaker 1: it's just yeah, it's the best. Tell my friends here
Speaker 1: on the show. You moved off to an island for
Speaker 1: a long time? How long? Yeah, Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands.
Speaker 1: I lived there for about a year and we visit
Speaker 1: regularly now still. And why did you move there? Because
Speaker 1: at the time, my girlfriend's dad, now my wife, was
Speaker 1: looking for houses down there, and he went and took
Speaker 1: all of us with him. For six weeks we rented
Speaker 1: a house and in that six weeks we fell in
Speaker 1: love with the island. He found the house, so I
Speaker 1: stayed on the island with him while she went to
Speaker 1: college and gigged around like Thursday through Saturdays doing beach
Speaker 1: bar gigs, stay with a girlfriend's dad, and just played
Speaker 1: on the island for a year. Do you feel like
Speaker 1: that's where you kind of found yourself musically because you
Speaker 1: were just playing so many shows you weren't making really
Speaker 1: any money. I found myself entirely there musically and spiritually. Definitely.
Speaker 1: The islands helped jump start whatever the rest of my
Speaker 1: life was about to be. What is the rest of
Speaker 1: your life? What's it about right now? Ernest is here? Like?
Speaker 1: What do you say? What someone's like? What's your life
Speaker 1: about Well, now I'm a family man, which is awesome.
Speaker 1: You know that the dream is happening perfectly, music and family.
Speaker 1: But having to find the balance between being a dad
Speaker 1: and a husband and going and do the rock star
Speaker 1: thing too has been a challenge. But I'm lucky. It's
Speaker 1: all get out their supportive. Ryman's coming out with me
Speaker 1: this weekend on the roads about Ryman's his baby Okay,
Speaker 1: Ryman's my baby. Boy's name Ernest is here And if
Speaker 1: you don't mind, I would like to start off with
Speaker 1: hearing you perform flower shops. Sure. Can you talk about
Speaker 1: this song though, because you wrote it, talk about you're
Speaker 1: sitting in a room and you know where the idea
Speaker 1: come from and what does this song mean? Yeah? So uh,
Speaker 1: to be honest, the song that inspired this song is
Speaker 1: Good Year for the Roses. A boy. George Jones and
Speaker 1: Burgess beIN. Burgess and I were on our way to
Speaker 1: Mark Holman's to write that day and that song came
Speaker 1: on on iTunes, A Central playlist or whatever George Jones
Speaker 1: playlist and we looked at each other like what a
Speaker 1: cool title. Burgess like, yeah, dude, we should write one
Speaker 1: of those. I was like, yeah, He's like, we should
Speaker 1: write something like good Day for flower Shops. I was like,
Speaker 1: absolutely yes. So we kind of talked it out, the
Speaker 1: character and what that song was gonna mean, and had
Speaker 1: a lot of it written by the time we got
Speaker 1: to Holman's. And when we got to Holmans, picked up
Speaker 1: picked up the guitar and started the uh and it
Speaker 1: was in better tune at that time of the day.
Speaker 1: But in no time we put we put melody, and
Speaker 1: all the thoughts came to life when we wrote the
Speaker 1: song pretty quick, and we knew then and something was special,
Speaker 1: but we didn't know. Here is Ernest, yea, here you
Speaker 1: go performing flower Shops. It's a beautiful day. She's been
Speaker 1: crying all night all there's tears in her blues and

Speaker 1: it's a bad day for love, but a good day
Speaker 1: for flowers, Shine hips, Ernest and studio, thank you. It's
Speaker 1: a great songo man. Thank you. How did you get
Speaker 1: Morgan Walling to sing that song with you? I texted
Speaker 1: him the demo pretty soon after I got it back,
Speaker 1: just out of excitement, like, yo, dude, listen to this
Speaker 1: and it turned into one of both of our favorite songs,
Speaker 1: and pretty naturally we started singing it together. We sang
Speaker 1: it together at a couple events, and then um, he
Speaker 1: pretty much announced that he was gonna do it with
Speaker 1: me at a Whiskey Jams show. And then Morgan said
Speaker 1: he was going to do it with me, and then
Speaker 1: we did it together at Ernest. You guys can follow
Speaker 1: him on Instagram. We'll be back with Ernest in a second.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you to do what cool songwriters do

Speaker 1: little clips of the songs you've written. Okay, is that cool?
Speaker 1: Can we do that? Sure? Also, and I haven't ran
Speaker 1: this by him, but can you and I don't want
Speaker 1: to spoil it for our listeners and time, can you

Speaker 1: It's that little part of it. Oh you're talking about
Speaker 1: the young the young hop up in wet yea. We
Speaker 1: will come back. I can all right, Ernest did something
Speaker 1: that I'm amazed by. I love, and I didn't even
Speaker 1: know he did it. Ernest has a new album called
Speaker 1: flower Shops. The album this is track two I love
Speaker 1: called Tennessee Queen Good Good As you grew up here
Speaker 1: in Nashville, which is rare. You know, most artists that
Speaker 1: come through didn't really grow up here. Yeah. Um, when
Speaker 1: you were a kid, did you ever see any cool
Speaker 1: country music artists just randomly in a restaurant or something. Yeah.
Speaker 1: My my cool country music artists exposure was Billy Dean.
Speaker 1: I was in third grade and well, miss Billy the Kid. Yeah, dude.
Speaker 1: I went to elementary school, middle school with Eli, his son,
Speaker 1: and Billy would like pick us up from school and
Speaker 1: take us to the pancake pantry. Were going through the
Speaker 1: back door, and I was like, this is the coolest
Speaker 1: thing ever. I'm not waiting in the lines. That's something like,
Speaker 1: I guess when you're a kid, there are other kids
Speaker 1: and they have famous dads. Yeah, yeah, I guess you
Speaker 1: you don't think about it. Yeah, that was my exposure
Speaker 1: to cool country artist Billy Dean man. Billy the Kid
Speaker 1: was such a jam. Yeah. Back in the day, Ernest
Speaker 1: is here has got the album, but he's also written
Speaker 1: so many massive songs for other artists. So I've picked
Speaker 1: a few that I really enjoy and if you can
Speaker 1: give me just a little bit, like you know, a
Speaker 1: little versa little course or just chorus whatever. Chris Lane
Speaker 1: big big plans, all right, and now this song if
Speaker 1: I'm right about this, because you don't know, I got
Speaker 1: some big, big put that song. But this was the
Speaker 1: song he proposed with he proposed Yeah, So were you
Speaker 1: involved in the secret writing of this? Yeah? And record?
Speaker 1: I mean, like what happened? Well, Jacob Durrett and I
Speaker 1: started writing this song and then it was kind of
Speaker 1: half done and he showed it to Seth manager and
Speaker 1: he was like, hey, I think Chris is looking for
Speaker 1: a song to propose too. This would be awesome. Let's
Speaker 1: get Chris into finish it. So we brought Chris in,
Speaker 1: custom detailed the song straight up, built it out just
Speaker 1: for him, and then you know, two weeks later he
Speaker 1: played her the demo at her family's house and it works.
Speaker 1: I had a big part in that relationship working out
Speaker 1: with about you. They wouldn't be together, they wouldn't have
Speaker 1: a kid. Yeah, there's life on this earth because of Earnest.
Speaker 1: That's not his. Okay, here's a little bit of Chris
Speaker 1: Lane's number one that Ernest wrote, Big big plans. Just
Speaker 1: look at her sitting there, sweatpants, T shirt and a
Speaker 1: comfy chair. Mr here in a bun one and on
Speaker 1: a mug any other ones playing snare to George straight
Speaker 1: final that yes, and no line will get her close food.
Speaker 1: I don't think she can understand just how far I've
Speaker 1: been letting my heart fall and what's in my head.
Speaker 1: She don't know. I got some big, big plans. Build
Speaker 1: a little outside on some hem down Lane, find a
Speaker 1: little line where we go to get tom Bad. We
Speaker 1: take our kids down there one day. And I know
Speaker 1: she wouldn't mind if I did a little something like
Speaker 1: fun to fly over night to Paradise and leave tonight.
Speaker 1: I I'm put a dime owner. And she don't know.
Speaker 1: I got some big, big plans. She don't know. She
Speaker 1: don't know. Ye. One of the songs that you wrote
Speaker 1: that we played a little bit on this show, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't really like a country music song. Was when
Speaker 1: Diplow did a country album him and Morgan Wall ended Heartless. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so when you wrote that, was that with kind
Speaker 1: of the dip below wish kind of beat behind it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we did me and Ryan Hurd wrote that with Charlie
Speaker 1: Handsome and Charlie's an awesome pop hip hop producer. We
Speaker 1: worked with a lot and he had the drums smacking
Speaker 1: on that thing. So by the time we when we
Speaker 1: finished writing it, we actually kind of maybe manifested the
Speaker 1: Morgan Diplo thing. This would be awesome for Morgan and Diplo.
Speaker 1: And it turns out it was just give me a
Speaker 1: little bit of that. I don't need a whole lot.
Speaker 1: Why you gotta be so hard less? I know you'd
Speaker 1: think it's timeless. You're telling me a part and girl,
Speaker 1: the hardest part is just so on attention, taking myselmnches.
Speaker 1: Leave me in the darkness. Now finish what we started.
Speaker 1: Good play you gotta be so hard less. That's a
Speaker 1: good one. That's a good one. Yeah. What if he
Speaker 1: played one and I was like, that's not a good
Speaker 1: one and I was like that one. I never really
Speaker 1: loved it and never really loved it. Um, do we
Speaker 1: have a clip of the Mason Ramsey yep? Okay, So
Speaker 1: Oldtown Road came out massive. They put a couple versions
Speaker 1: and one had Mason Ramsey in it. We played it
Speaker 1: here and so here is Mason on Oldtown Road. That's
Speaker 1: enough there. I just wanted to like, we're good, but
Speaker 1: set the move. They called lorle nozas like FaceTime doing
Speaker 1: like the mid of night. Yeah like that. Right after
Speaker 1: dinner time, Mason's manager I got the call from the bullpen.
Speaker 1: He was like, Smith, get loose. So you ran up
Speaker 1: to a studio and yeah, yeah, we recorded. We recorded
Speaker 1: this verse that night and it came out the next day.
Speaker 1: Do you know the whole verse by heart? Right now?
Speaker 1: I think I do. Here you Ernest doing the Mason
Speaker 1: Ramsey part that he wrote for Old Time Road? All right,
Speaker 1: hopped up in my razor, got a thousand acres right
Speaker 1: up on the cows with it. Betty, you're on phaser.
Speaker 1: Oh oh yippy your cave. You ain't got no giddy
Speaker 1: up than giddy yep, my way, hyeah? Come on okay
Speaker 1: if you ain't got no giddy up? Yes? Did you
Speaker 1: ever meet Mason Ramsey? Oh yeah, Mason's little bro. I
Speaker 1: went on tour with me. I saw that picture now
Speaker 1: that I think about it. Yeah, I opened for Mason.
Speaker 1: I saw a picture of you in like a chain
Speaker 1: with Mason next to you. Yeah, this guy opened for
Speaker 1: Mason Ramsey. Okay, I want to encourage you guys to
Speaker 1: check out Flower Shops the album, the show, or the song.
Speaker 1: Flower Shops is just killing it right now. But it's
Speaker 1: an entire album that just came out. I'm gonna play
Speaker 1: one more track here. Here is a track. Let's do
Speaker 1: track five, Comfortable when I'm crazy. Maybe it ain't, I'm
Speaker 1: only comfortable. His name is Ernest. He drives let me
Speaker 1: get the right here in nineteen seventy five Catilla Coop Deville,
Speaker 1: who he blasts music, and he has to be paying
Speaker 1: a lot for gas. I've seen it gain to drive
Speaker 1: that thing. I ran out of gas pulling up to
Speaker 1: another radio show last week, so I drove my truck today.
Speaker 1: So we didn't have that happen. No, I'm happy for it.
Speaker 1: I'll be late over there. And it really destroyed their
Speaker 1: show through it. Yeah, I love that. Yeah. There he
Speaker 1: has follow him at Ernest Ernest. Good to see you buy,
Speaker 1: good to see you too. I hope everybody checks out
Speaker 1: flower Shops the album and checks out Ernest podcast, which
Speaker 1: I've been a guest on I don't guess on a
Speaker 1: lot of podcasts, but Ernest podcast just at it's called
Speaker 1: just be an Earnest. My favorite um lying in the
Speaker 1: flower Shop song, I just I'm obsessed with the remove
Speaker 1: the thorns because she can't take anymore like hurt and pains. Please,
Speaker 1: if you can do one little thing, make sure there's
Speaker 1: no thorns on there. Yeah, I would probably lie and
Speaker 1: say that was a true story. I like what you
Speaker 1: guys did, like you bait George Jones. But I'll be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's happened to me. Well, but I told you it
Speaker 1: wasn't hard for me have been to go there. That's
Speaker 1: what I like. He's modifying the state we're seeing alive alright, Ernest, Ernest,
Speaker 1: good to see a bud and we will hopefully see
Speaker 1: you soon. It's the best bits of the week with
Speaker 1: Morgan number two. Everything is getting so crazy expensive lately,
Speaker 1: and Scuba Steve is experiencing a lot with that, especially
Speaker 1: with his phone bill. He got a really crazy phone
Speaker 1: bill recently, and as much as he may want to
Speaker 1: blame the scammers, it is mostly Scuba Steve's fault because
Speaker 1: of his response to the scammers and what's been happening. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a good one and maybe it'll make you
Speaker 1: do it too, just you know, don't be charged like
Speaker 1: Scuba did in this segment number four. Okay, so we
Speaker 1: selected and pick a bit. We voted and Scuba Steve
Speaker 1: segment is up. Hey Scuba, so your cell phone bill
Speaker 1: was much higher than you anticipated? Why what happened? Hundreds
Speaker 1: more dollars? Hundreds more dollars, he said, I anticipated, and
Speaker 1: it came from the here to see my wife texting
Speaker 1: me saying, what the hell are you doing with international
Speaker 1: phone calls? International phone calls? Yes, so we've talked about
Speaker 1: scams a lot in the show recently, and then the
Speaker 1: cell phone robo calls. So I'm the kind of person
Speaker 1: when you get those, I do a couple different things.
Speaker 1: If I'm busy, I pick it up and hang it
Speaker 1: up so it goes away. If I have some free time,
Speaker 1: I'll pick it up and all I'll talk to them,
Speaker 1: or from at the house, my son will pick up
Speaker 1: and he'll talk to them for however long the conversation goes.
Speaker 1: So you've been talking to these people that are trying
Speaker 1: to scam you out of money or sell you a warranty, yes,
Speaker 1: which they're not going to scam me because I know
Speaker 1: what they're up to. I just kind of want to
Speaker 1: It's for me. It's it's a release. It's fun for
Speaker 1: me to do these things. Do you ever learn anything
Speaker 1: from them? Sometimes? I learn about their family because when
Speaker 1: my son intervenes and has a conversation, they start talking
Speaker 1: about their kids and their wife and their home life.
Speaker 1: He kind of breaks down the walls with them, gets
Speaker 1: a little personable. For me. I've learned that these guys
Speaker 1: are not as bad as they say they are. They're
Speaker 1: just trying to make some money, and you wasting their
Speaker 1: time keeps them from calling other people. Yeah, exactly, because
Speaker 1: they're not getting anything out of me. So, like, what
Speaker 1: countries have you talked to? The Philippines, India, I talked
Speaker 1: to people over in England, I've talked to people all
Speaker 1: over the world, Haiti, And you didn't and you didn't
Speaker 1: think that it could have been Amy's kids uncles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: could have been a waste of my time. Someone to
Speaker 1: waste their time. And you got your phone bill and
Speaker 1: it was one hundreds of dollars more expensive. Yes, because
Speaker 1: it turns out if you're on that phone call for
Speaker 1: longer than I think five or six seconds, it starts
Speaker 1: charging you because you've accepted the phone call and picked
Speaker 1: it up. So we've got a lot of extra charges
Speaker 1: on the phone bill this past month. Interesting. According to
Speaker 1: you Mail's robo call Index, almost three point eight billion
Speaker 1: spam calls were made in February alone. I mean I
Speaker 1: get them all the time, and they're like one number
Speaker 1: different than mine, which is weird because again you feel
Speaker 1: like it might be your long lost twin brother or something.
Speaker 1: Do you pick them up? No? I hang them out. Okay, good,
Speaker 1: but those you wouldn't get billed for because it's domestic.
Speaker 1: I pick it well, Scuba, When years come, do they
Speaker 1: show us domestic or do they show us? So they've
Speaker 1: come in many different ways. They've they've even popped about
Speaker 1: South Korea. So I've seen where it's another country because
Speaker 1: I have a country code, so like plus three one
Speaker 1: or something weird and like Russia's called me basically as
Speaker 1: I don't know what it shows up is that it's
Speaker 1: this weird number and then underneath and small letters is
Speaker 1: as Russia. Okay, So your advice, Scuba is as don't
Speaker 1: do what I do don't. Don't pick it up and
Speaker 1: talk to them. There is a hack though, to get
Speaker 1: him to stop calling you. If you pick it up
Speaker 1: and you put it on mute so it's silent, they'll
Speaker 1: speak and then eventually if you say nothing, it goes away.
Speaker 1: You're off that list. But then you get billed for
Speaker 1: picking it up. Well, not if it's more than five
Speaker 1: it's less than five seconds and you hang up. You're fine,
Speaker 1: it's like more than seconds risking that? All right, Scuba,
Speaker 1: that's the pick of it. How do we feel about that?
Speaker 1: Pick of what? Feel good? Educational? Disappointed? No one's voting
Speaker 1: for me. It's getting annoying. Yeah, you really want your
Speaker 1: bit to be picked? Yeah, and I know that Amy's
Speaker 1: never gonna pick mine, so I know that I'm in
Speaker 1: tro that's not true. But now it's playing you. Now
Speaker 1: he's playing you. Listen, you know what I do. My
Speaker 1: brain goes back to, like I don't know, two thousand
Speaker 1: and six, when we had kid baby on the schedule
Speaker 1: for like years and we never did we ever get
Speaker 1: to it? Yeah, one time final, Okay, eventually the whole
Speaker 1: bit was lunchbox that sent it a bit years years
Speaker 1: years prior going I was at the lake and there
Speaker 1: was this baby on the lake and it was naked.
Speaker 1: Like the mom was like, a four year old is
Speaker 1: out playing naked in the lake. I said it was
Speaker 1: awkward because it was like it was like a Barton
Speaker 1: Springs where there's a bunch of people, so it's just
Speaker 1: naked in front of these people. I was like, is
Speaker 1: that not inappropriate? And it stayed on there forever and
Speaker 1: we gave it like half a second because finally Bobby
Speaker 1: just wanted to take it off the schedule. I had
Speaker 1: it on that list of things to talk about for
Speaker 1: three years years said we never got every day I
Speaker 1: was on let's talk about and just said naked baby.
Speaker 1: And then I think we did it right before he moves.
Speaker 1: Just so we went to a new city with what's
Speaker 1: called again his thing pick a bit lunch is just
Speaker 1: called hold on. I haven't written down here has anyone
Speaker 1: seen me on the names. So first she's like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to cave an. I'm saying you got
Speaker 1: to tow her off the jury because she's already admitting
Speaker 1: that she's attained juror. So I was pick only because
Speaker 1: it's been sitting on the list. Yeah to be fair.
Speaker 1: That's better. Okay, thank you Scoop for your pick a bit.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 1: It's always weird when I intro one that has me
Speaker 1: involved in it. But this week we talked about me
Speaker 1: trying to get on the super Fan show for Shania Twain.
Speaker 1: We talked about why I'm a super fan, how Lunchbox
Speaker 1: doesn't think I should be on the show, you know,
Speaker 1: all the things. I'm just gonna leave that there, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I am a Shania Twain superfan and
Speaker 1: I haven't for so much of my life, so you know,
Speaker 1: I'm it's fine. It's fine. Lunchbox can keep his jealousy.
Speaker 1: I'll just say that. You know, you got to give
Speaker 1: support to get support. It's a lunchbox. If he's listening,
Speaker 1: which I know he isn't. But right now you can
Speaker 1: hear the segment where we talk about me being a
Speaker 1: superman Superman, I could be Superman. That'd be fun. I
Speaker 1: am a super fan of Shania Twain. Number three, Morgan,
Speaker 1: I want to come to you first. And Morgan is
Speaker 1: our head of digital, the website, all the socials. You know,
Speaker 1: she has a job that never stops and she is
Speaker 1: a massive Shania Twain fan. And on the show, we
Speaker 1: were talking about this TV show where they're looking for
Speaker 1: super fans. Now, what did you find out? After we
Speaker 1: did the segment? So Scuba Steve reached out to the
Speaker 1: people and they were like, have her go ahead and
Speaker 1: send it in because the deadline had passed. And we're like,
Speaker 1: oh crap, she's not gonna be able to get in,
Speaker 1: but they're like, go ahead and have her send it in.
Speaker 1: We'll pass it on to the casting director. So I
Speaker 1: submitted all my super fan information and it's being passed
Speaker 1: on right now as we speak, compazing. This is one
Speaker 1: of those it's like Ray like, isn't an ironic in
Speaker 1: a good way? And I'm gonna tell you how Scuba
Speaker 1: Steve it approached me a couple of weeks ago and said, Hey,
Speaker 1: there's this new show. Would you like to talk to
Speaker 1: the producer? And I thought that shows very interesting, but
Speaker 1: we don't talk to a lot of producers of shows.
Speaker 1: But then once Amy gave more details about Kelsey and
Speaker 1: Shaniya a little big town, I thought maybe we should
Speaker 1: because this is right. And then the fact that you're
Speaker 1: a super fan we're gonna have her on the show,
Speaker 1: if not tomorrow Monday to talk about it. If you
Speaker 1: were to get on this show, two things. One, that
Speaker 1: would be amazing because you are a massive Shanaia fan.
Speaker 1: It would be awesome. But two, I do think someone
Speaker 1: on this show would implode. Yes, he would. Oh, here's
Speaker 1: the thing, go ahead. I don't want to ruin her
Speaker 1: chances of getting on the show. But she is a fan,
Speaker 1: she's not a super fan. She doesn't have tattoos Shanaya,
Speaker 1: she doesn't have Shannaio. Are you knocking her down? I'm
Speaker 1: just saying you're knocking her down. No, I just said
Speaker 1: I'm not going to try to ruin her chances. But
Speaker 1: she's a fan, but a super fan that ain't her.
Speaker 1: Are you a Tina Turner super fan? I love Tina Turner.
Speaker 1: Are you a super fan? Do you have a Tina tattoo? No?
Speaker 1: But I want the point is there's no reason for
Speaker 1: you to take shots at her. I'm not taking a shot.
Speaker 1: Why she shouldn't be on the show, he said, because
Speaker 1: she doesn't have a Shaya tattoo. Morgan, why did you
Speaker 1: tell them you're a Shanaia superfan? Well so, I explained
Speaker 1: that she was the first CD that I ever had,
Speaker 1: like I grew up. Only let's do one at a time, lunchbox.
Speaker 1: You tell me if he's count a superfan. Yeah, elements, okay,
Speaker 1: number one one. So I told them that she was
Speaker 1: the first CD I ever had. It's all I listened
Speaker 1: to for several years. No, okay, that's a good start
Speaker 1: to a super fan. Okay, okay, go ahead. She was
Speaker 1: the first concert I ever went to. Yeah, wow, well
Speaker 1: what you are? And yes, I had leopard print on. Okay,
Speaker 1: I've bet a lot of girls out there. First concert
Speaker 1: with Schneia Twain with leopard print because that was their
Speaker 1: favorite artist. Next, my dad helped me up so I
Speaker 1: could touch her hand, and I would not let my
Speaker 1: parents wash my hand for several weeks after the fact.
Speaker 1: That's good. Oh wow, Okay, it's like any other kid. Okay.
Speaker 1: You put it like in a ziplog bag when you shower, Yeah,
Speaker 1: kind of, like I refused. It was like a whole
Speaker 1: thing with my parents when this happened. Anything else. And
Speaker 1: then I would always have her posters hanging up, and
Speaker 1: I knew every single song on every single one of
Speaker 1: her albums, even her new one after she had a hiatus.
Speaker 1: I know, wow, that's super fan. I never heard any
Speaker 1: of that. Okay, yes, well, and I'll just say too
Speaker 1: to remind Lunchbox of like what it is is, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be other fans. Morgan's going to get to compete
Speaker 1: so her like, she'll have to know things and she'll
Speaker 1: have to prove herself and prove that she's the number
Speaker 1: one family. You see her in concert, I've seen her twice,
Speaker 1: oh super fans, but retired like a superman to see
Speaker 1: her the second time. What that is super fair? Called rich? No? No,
Speaker 1: Morgan's not rich. It was just not no, because that's
Speaker 1: not like Morgan probably had to save and figure it
Speaker 1: out and like she was willing to invest in something
Speaker 1: that was important to her. My point is, instead of
Speaker 1: you saying I would also like to be on television
Speaker 1: and I'm a little jealous, you're taking shots of her
Speaker 1: to keep her off of television. Not taking shots kind
Speaker 1: of you immediately did no. I immediately just pointed out facts. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll have her on, We'll have the producer on. I
Speaker 1: think it'd be awesome if you were able to get on.
Speaker 1: But if I mean, if someone shows up with it,
Speaker 1: Jania Tattoo, you're out of luck. Unch I think Pitt
Speaker 1: Bull is also doing this. You want to try to
Speaker 1: be his biggest fand no, I've never seen him in concert.
Speaker 1: Who g you can get on TV on the show.
Speaker 1: Just you know, we'll have her on the next couple
Speaker 1: of days. I will say, I don't think I'm like
Speaker 1: a crazy fan. I do think I'm just a good fan. No,
Speaker 1: don't say that you need to be crazy to go
Speaker 1: like that Morgan job on TV. You still have still haven't.
Speaker 1: It's a ziplock bag right now, like you. Uh, these
Speaker 1: producers want people who are super fan, loud, opinionated. I
Speaker 1: just didn't to make sure she doesn't think I'm stokersh Okay,
Speaker 1: they want that. Okay, Okay, we sent it off. They're
Speaker 1: considering you. That would be amazing. Yes, yes, and you
Speaker 1: can have all the time off. You need to do it.
Speaker 1: And now I'm going to go super crazy, so Lunchbox,
Speaker 1: that's right, sees me go on the TV show. That's
Speaker 1: when when the woman comes on, start like panting things
Speaker 1: like that. Just start seeing. Okay, we'll find out the
Speaker 1: next couple of days if Morgan still has a chance
Speaker 1: at this will be that'll be very exciting, right, it's
Speaker 1: the best Bits of the week with Morgan number two.
Speaker 1: Super cool moment for Eddie this week a song that

Speaker 1: It's like, man, that takes a while. I'm sure some
Speaker 1: people write songs like years and years ago and then
Speaker 1: it finally sees a lot of day. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I'm a part of that right now. It's actually a
Speaker 1: pretty good song too, Like it sounds like a Lee
Speaker 1: Bryce song. And then when I hear that that sounds
Speaker 1: like a Lee Brice song. Hey, Lee Bress can cut
Speaker 1: it two once you know why you love me? Come on, man,
Speaker 1: thank you man. It's awesome. I got Eddie over here
Speaker 1: and making big moves. Man, just kind of just if
Speaker 1: an opportunity opens up, I take it. I like that.
Speaker 1: There it is. You guys can't stream it or I
Speaker 1: don't know, Hey, do you' gonna make a bunch of
Speaker 1: money off of it? Or what? Do you go to
Speaker 1: iTunes and download it? Now that don't do that anymore.
Speaker 1: Truth is, it'll probably number one on iTunes because it
Speaker 1: takes like thirty downloads to be a number one right iTunes.
Speaker 1: But that's really cool. Congratulation, Thank you man, thanks for
Speaker 1: playing man. What do you want to say to our
Speaker 1: new songwriter fort I mean I'm super impressed, like I
Speaker 1: was feeling that song for sure, and yeah, I love
Speaker 1: that Eddie's got opportunities and he's trying it out. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's obviously been a songwriter with you with the raging idiots,
Speaker 1: that this is like a little bit different. I love it.
Speaker 1: It's like a crazy real song. Yeah, love me, love me,
Speaker 1: love Okay, Well, I feel goodybody feel good? Yeah a
Speaker 1: little segment okay, okay, I even saw lunchpots kind of
Speaker 1: Bob crying crying over Why would I cry about a
Speaker 1: stupid soul? Do you think it's a good song? That
Speaker 1: was fine? Of course fine. What would you give it?
Speaker 1: One through ten? Probably a six? Okay, better than ever?
Speaker 1: That's very wow, that's generous. I mean, Eddie was trying
Speaker 1: to get me to get really into hid me going, hey, man,
Speaker 1: you see that I wrote that. He's pointing at himself like, yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: I know you wrote it. Bobby kept saying you wrote it,
Speaker 1: and he was like, hey, you know I wrote that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got it. I mean, good job, congratulations. You can't
Speaker 1: even tell us what you wrote, so I don't know
Speaker 1: how much you really wrote. Okay, next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: Lunchbox is gonna give Eddie songwriters for dummies. That's a
Speaker 1: real song, that is It's the best bits of the
Speaker 1: week with Morgan number two, and coming in hot at
Speaker 1: number one is Tim Tebow. He came on the show
Speaker 1: to talk about a new book that he has out.
Speaker 1: But every time we do an interview with Tim Tebow,
Speaker 1: he's always so kind and so sweet. I think he
Speaker 1: might be the nicest person on planet Earth. And you
Speaker 1: guys always feel the same way. You guys write such
Speaker 1: nice things and engage so much with all the content
Speaker 1: about him. So without further ado, it is Tim Tebow
Speaker 1: with Bobby Bones number one. Always loving having Tim on
Speaker 1: the show. Tim, how's it going, buddy? I'm good man.
Speaker 1: How are you? I see you rock in the Arkansas
Speaker 1: West here. You know, it's ninety percent of my wardrobe
Speaker 1: and it wasn't because of you, although if you'd like
Speaker 1: to take it as a personal shot, I welcome it, um,
Speaker 1: but it is most of my clothes. If it's not
Speaker 1: dress clothes, it's somehow got a razorback on it. So
Speaker 1: I appreciate the acknowledgement. I got no problem rock. Your
Speaker 1: school will be proud of it, no problem whatsoever. And listen, Bobby,
Speaker 1: I know you never take any shots at me, so
Speaker 1: I know we're better than that. So, of course, not
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow's on who. By the way, the Gators lost
Speaker 1: Arkansas a couple weeks ago in Florida's pretty cool anyway,
Speaker 1: I was. I've spent a bit of time with your book.
Speaker 1: Actually it's a wonderful read as someone who loves motivational books,
Speaker 1: and I've actually highlighted a couple of things that I
Speaker 1: wanted to bring to you, So I've made notes on pages,
Speaker 1: so excuse my fumbling. But the book is called Mission Possible,
Speaker 1: Go create a life that counts. And I want to
Speaker 1: go to this called Make the Choice, and I want
Speaker 1: to read a section of something that I found really
Speaker 1: moving and would like for Tim to elaborate a bit.
Speaker 1: Tim rights, before we start dreaming about the possible, we
Speaker 1: must remind ourselves of something. Even as we lock into
Speaker 1: significance over success, the results are beyond our control. Tim,
Speaker 1: talk to me about that. What do you mean by
Speaker 1: that in like human talking terms. Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: thanks for investing so much and reading it and being
Speaker 1: you know, aware of everything. I really appreciate that. First
Speaker 1: of all, I find that really encouraging to me. And
Speaker 1: the reason that I wrote this, Bobby, is to encourage people.
Speaker 1: That's why it's literally titled Mission Possible, not Tom Cruise
Speaker 1: Mission Impossible. It is Mission Possible. And I think to
Speaker 1: give a little background of what I mean by that
Speaker 1: is is a few studies that have been done one
Speaker 1: but with people eighteen to thirty five, over sixty percent
Speaker 1: of them say no one believes in them. There's no
Speaker 1: one in the world that believes them. Over sixty percent
Speaker 1: of young people and another third of our population say
Speaker 1: that either they're lonely all the time or most of
Speaker 1: the time, and then out of our population, they spend
Speaker 1: twelve percent of their daily thoughts comparing themselves with other people.
Speaker 1: So if we're if no one believes in us, if
Speaker 1: we're lonely all or most of the time, and we're
Speaker 1: spending ourselves our time comparing our thoughts and we want
Speaker 1: to be like other people, there's no chance that we're
Speaker 1: going to actually live out the purpose to calling the dreams,
Speaker 1: the visions, the hopes that we have in our life.
Speaker 1: And so I want to write something that's going to
Speaker 1: encourage people and who they are and who they are
Speaker 1: created to be and what they can accomplish. And I
Speaker 1: think getting to what we're talking about is sometimes the
Speaker 1: results aren't up to us, meaning the results of I
Speaker 1: want people to dream. But listen, if you're five five,
Speaker 1: you're probably not going to be better than Lebron James
Speaker 1: at basketball. Let's just be honest about that. But with
Speaker 1: this book, having a mission possible life, a life that
Speaker 1: truly counts that's possible for everyone. It's not about how
Speaker 1: equipped you are, what your status is, how many followers
Speaker 1: you have, how skilled you are. It is about making
Speaker 1: the choice to be willing to love sir, give care, prey,
Speaker 1: and be willing to give of yourself to help other people.
Speaker 1: And I believe every single one of us can make
Speaker 1: that choice. I didn't feel that way about myself till
Speaker 1: right now. He just motivated me to believe that about
Speaker 1: myself talking to him in person. Yes, there's another part
Speaker 1: that I read, and it was a part of the book.
Speaker 1: It was called there Is No Yet, and you talk
Speaker 1: about how easy it is whenever times are good to
Speaker 1: make commitments, and I believe part of it was when
Speaker 1: you're getting married, it's easy to make the vows for sickness,
Speaker 1: for sickness and death, or whenever you've you know, working
Speaker 1: on a project, it's easy to commit to it and
Speaker 1: all that, but then sometimes it gets hard and so
Speaker 1: kind of go into that a little bit of what
Speaker 1: you meant, well, that was actually sharing your story to
Speaker 1: illustrate it about Jeff and Becky Davidson, very close friends
Speaker 1: of ours and ministry partners of ours, and they had
Speaker 1: been married for many years and they had a child,
Speaker 1: John Alex, who was born with severe special needs and
Speaker 1: actually and taking care of both of them. Both of
Speaker 1: them are in the hospital. Jeff and John Alex were
Speaker 1: in the hospital, and the social worker, because Jeff was
Speaker 1: so sick, he said, you know, if Jeff survives and
Speaker 1: he goes home, how are you to Becky, how are
Speaker 1: you going to take care of him? Like, who's going
Speaker 1: to take care of him? She said, I will, like
Speaker 1: I've been doing it for twenty five years and I'm
Speaker 1: not going to stop. And in the worker said, whoa yeah,
Speaker 1: meaning you're not gonna stop yet, but when it gets
Speaker 1: hard enough, you're gonna make the choice to quit. And
Speaker 1: when Jeff was on his deathbed, the last thing that
Speaker 1: she said to him as he's holding she's holding his hand,
Speaker 1: is there was no yet. There was never yet. You know,
Speaker 1: there was never a moment where it's going to get
Speaker 1: too hard, where I was going to leave you. There's
Speaker 1: never a moment where things got too bleak, where I
Speaker 1: didn't believe in you were love wasn't enough. And that
Speaker 1: was just one of the really inspirational stories in my life.
Speaker 1: To be friends with them, to watch it up close
Speaker 1: and from afar, to be able to see what it
Speaker 1: really means to choose convictions over emotions. What it really
Speaker 1: means to say, you know what, when I'm all in,
Speaker 1: I truly mean all in. You know, we wear slogans
Speaker 1: and tags and phrases that we threw out all the time,
Speaker 1: especially in sports. Hey, what does it mean to be
Speaker 1: all in? Well? I can tell you. For for Becky Davidson,
Speaker 1: when she's got her husband in hospital and her son
Speaker 1: in another hospital and she spends her days going back
Speaker 1: and forth and the social workers and the doctors are saying, listen,
Speaker 1: you can't do all this. She's saying, hey, there is
Speaker 1: no yet. And you know that was such an inspiration
Speaker 1: to me to say, you know, when I believe in something,
Speaker 1: when I say I'm all in, there better not be
Speaker 1: a yet. You know, a lot of the book highlights
Speaker 1: your relationship with Christ. You know how important is that
Speaker 1: for you to not only thread that into your message,
Speaker 1: but to communicate to others how important it is. Well,
Speaker 1: I think it's something that I want to communicate in
Speaker 1: my life, not just in words, but more importantly in
Speaker 1: actions and indeeds, but hopefully have the chance to mesh
Speaker 1: those up. And I believe that one of the greatest
Speaker 1: things that people are looking for and it's also backed
Speaker 1: by statistics. I believe eighty one percent of people are
Speaker 1: looking for purpose and meaning in their life, and I
Speaker 1: wanted this book to be something that could encourage people
Speaker 1: with that purpose. And I believe that every single person
Speaker 1: has purpose everything. Every single person was created in love,
Speaker 1: by love, and for love, and I believe there is
Speaker 1: a great plan for their life, and would I want
Speaker 1: to encourage them in that plan for their life, that
Speaker 1: they have such significance and meaning and they were created
Speaker 1: with infinite value and worth, that the God of this
Speaker 1: universe loves them enough to send his son his best
Speaker 1: for them. I believe that gives everyone encouragement confidence that
Speaker 1: holy cow like there's the God of this universe loves me,
Speaker 1: believes in me, created me this way. And when I
Speaker 1: when someone when a life realizes that I don't have
Speaker 1: to spend my time worrying about what the world says,
Speaker 1: I don't have to spend my time worrying about what
Speaker 1: social media says. I don't have to spend myself my
Speaker 1: time comparing myself with other people, even though it's really
Speaker 1: easy to do so, because I know what God says
Speaker 1: about me. That's more important than what anybody else says
Speaker 1: about me. Tim tebows On. His book is called Mission Possible,
Speaker 1: Go create a life that counts. And I do think
Speaker 1: if what Tim messages now it is resonating with you,
Speaker 1: you will love the book. It is. And I say
Speaker 1: this in the most complimentary way. It's an easy read
Speaker 1: because it's understandable. Sometimes people the right books are like
Speaker 1: they like to write in big, fancy words in terms
Speaker 1: that you don't understand. But you didn't do that here.
Speaker 1: Like it just felt good. I felt good afterward. So
Speaker 1: congratulations on writing something you know, really substantive. Tim, Thank
Speaker 1: you so much, man. I really appreciate that. Thank you
Speaker 1: for your support. And I really hope this book can
Speaker 1: encourage people. That's really the heart and the passion behind it,
Speaker 1: and to encourage people truly in their worth. I want
Speaker 1: to ask you a couple of things that are non
Speaker 1: book related. And by the way, there's a wall here.
Speaker 1: You know, we're doing the radio show and you're so
Speaker 1: motivational and you know quite the inspiration to talk to that.
Speaker 1: If you said, hey, Bobby, I'd like for you to
Speaker 1: run through that wall right now, Tim, I would do it.
Speaker 1: I would run through that wall right now for you.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, you would do it? Then? Both yes, both, Hey, um,
Speaker 1: do you ever see yourself because you are such a leader,
Speaker 1: and I pivot into this, do you ever see yourself
Speaker 1: being a leader in different areas? A CEO of a
Speaker 1: major company, in politics, a head football coach, Like, what
Speaker 1: do you think is in store for Tim Tebow in
Speaker 1: the next ten to fifteen years. That's a really good question.
Speaker 1: I see a possibility of all three. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think it's it's hard to really know exactly. I think
Speaker 1: in coaching, you have to give up so much because
Speaker 1: it's literally more than a full time job. And I
Speaker 1: think that would be really hard, even though I love
Speaker 1: the thought of it, love the thought of inspiring and
Speaker 1: encouraging and building a team of young men, But I mean,
Speaker 1: you have to drop everything else. And I love what
Speaker 1: we're doing at our foundation and so many other things.
Speaker 1: I'm fortunate to be part of some different companies that
Speaker 1: we're building now, you know, I really enjoy that side.
Speaker 1: And then in politics, I don't know if it's something
Speaker 1: that I would quite enjoy as much, to be honest,
Speaker 1: but I've he said I would at least be open
Speaker 1: to it if it's where I felt I could do
Speaker 1: the most good, if I could truly create the most
Speaker 1: amount of impact and change. If that was something I
Speaker 1: felt was really put on my heart, then I would
Speaker 1: be open to looking at it. You know, if you
Speaker 1: go and have dinner in Gainesville, or let's say Florida
Speaker 1: in general, you're back in Florida and people say, wow,
Speaker 1: this guy never has to pay for a meal again
Speaker 1: in Florida? Does that ever actually happen where you're there
Speaker 1: and you're having a meal and they're like, well, the
Speaker 1: guy over at that table over there just picked up
Speaker 1: your whole meal, mister Tebow, does that happen? It's definitely happened. Yes,
Speaker 1: I can't lie and say that it hasn't happened. Happened.
Speaker 1: And then do you feel the needs like you have
Speaker 1: to go over? Like did they just buy a meet
Speaker 1: and greet with you? I guess that's the question. By
Speaker 1: buying your meal, do you feel like, well, now I
Speaker 1: got to go over and spend a few times with
Speaker 1: all twelve people sitting at the table. Honestly, I think
Speaker 1: there's both. There's a there's some times where you feel
Speaker 1: they need to do that, But then there's also times
Speaker 1: where people have purchased the meal and the waiter would
Speaker 1: not tell you who it was. They said they wanted
Speaker 1: to be anonymous. They just wanted to say thank you
Speaker 1: for either your ministry or foundation, or a Night to
Speaker 1: Shine or Orphan Care or something that was near and
Speaker 1: dear to their heart, and so they just wanted to
Speaker 1: say thank you, but they wanted to remain anonymous. And
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty cool as well. I've got two
Speaker 1: questions and one little promo that I'm going to do
Speaker 1: before this interview is over, because I like this is
Speaker 1: like part of the interruption where you can see what's
Speaker 1: happening on the screen so you know where we are here. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Here are the two questions. Number one, I had heard
Speaker 1: this that you almost went to Alabama because of your
Speaker 1: relationship with coach Shula. Like how close were you to
Speaker 1: actually being part of the Crimson Tide family. Literally, I
Speaker 1: was a split second away from it. I from my
Speaker 1: sophomore year through literally the last moment when I chose Florida,
Speaker 1: Alabama was leading the entire time. I wasn't even looking
Speaker 1: at Florida. They had a different coaching staff, and they
Speaker 1: weren't even in my top twenty five and then they
Speaker 1: fired that coaching staff. They brought an Urban and all
Speaker 1: the new guys, and I started to build this relationship,
Speaker 1: but it was so much more established with Alabama, and
Speaker 1: I love the passion, the tradition, the culture, everything, and
Speaker 1: then thinking about being a part of bringing Alabama back
Speaker 1: to you know, what they once were was so exciting
Speaker 1: to me, and so yes, I was literally a split
Speaker 1: second away. And to be honest, even when I chose Florida,
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of regret in my heart
Speaker 1: of did I should I have chose Alabama? That's how
Speaker 1: close I was with Shoot, when I told Coach Shula
Speaker 1: I was going to Florida, I had tears in my eyes.
Speaker 1: And it's not the only time that Alabama made me cry.
Speaker 1: And my final question for you is if you or
Speaker 1: stub your toe or hit your elbow or does a
Speaker 1: curse word ever come out of your mouth? I hope now,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it's probably a like a negative word,
Speaker 1: but then I might just say something that's like totally random,
Speaker 1: not as bad, like foodie or yeah yeah, oh Tater Todds,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah yeah. And let me say that, heyde
Speaker 1: to you, you know that Tim Tebow has Mission possible,
Speaker 1: go create a life that counts and also Bronco and
Speaker 1: Friends a party to remember. That's your first book, But
Speaker 1: you're doing a second, if I'm right about this, you're
Speaker 1: doing a second in the series. Right this coming out
Speaker 1: later on this year. Yes, that's right, it's coming out
Speaker 1: in just a few weeks. Okay, Well, the guy's writing
Speaker 1: more books than uh. I don't know Stephen King make
Speaker 1: up an author. I don't know Judy Bloom. He is
Speaker 1: the new Judy Bloom of books. It is Tim Tebow. Hey, timboy.
Speaker 1: The first time anybody's comparing me to Judy Bloom. But
Speaker 1: there you go. It is Tim Tebow. We love him
Speaker 1: and U you know, except for when we played him.
Speaker 1: I was at the SEC Championship game when Tim was
Speaker 1: a freshman and he was the backup quarterback in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: and he did, I believe, scored on a quarterback sneak something.
Speaker 1: He's running a quarterback package. And I hated you that year.
Speaker 1: And to be frank, I hated you until you graduated.
Speaker 1: But now I can't get enough of you. Tim well Man,
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. You're a stun and by the way,
Speaker 1: I love what Arkansas is doing with Sam Pittman. I
Speaker 1: love it. I love what he's all about. So congrats
Speaker 1: on that. I think there's a lot to be excited
Speaker 1: about with Arkansas right now. Tim, good to see you.
Speaker 1: Congratulations on the books. I hope you sell so many.
Speaker 1: I think the message is awesome. Have a good day, man,
Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate you. Man. Tell everybody, hey there,
