76
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm a boyfriend and I been together for a little

77
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: more than six years. His family keeps asking when we're

78
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: going to get engaged. Recently had a friends up and

79
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: tell me he was going to propose me this year.

80
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: A while back, I was joking, and I showed him

81
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: a ring that I thought it was pretty so recently

82
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: I went back online to look at it, and the

83
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: more research I did, the more I found out the

84
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: ring isn't really how it looks in real life. Now

85
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: fast forward to now, as he was trying to show

86
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: me a picture, I noticed he had the ring saved

87
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: to his phone that picture. My question is, how do

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: I tell him the ring isn't that pretty? Or do

89
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: I even say something. I don't know if he actually

90
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: got that ring or if it's a reference picture signed

91
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: the not so pretty ring. Girl. Well, this is what

92
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: I would do quickly as I would say, hey, I

93
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: don't like that ring anymore. We talked about you can

94
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: find a way to bring it up. I don't know

95
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: you find it. But you don't want him buy that

96
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: ring if you hate it, especially if he hasn't already

97
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: bought it, Like you just planned percentages at this point,

98
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: maybe he hasn't bought the ring yet. Fifty fifty he's

99
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: bought it, he's got it on his phone fifty So

100
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: fifty fifty that you can save him and you from

101
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: having to live a life of having a ring your

102
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: finger that you hate every day, because eventually it's gonna

103
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: come out, maybe ten years on the road, and he's

104
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: gonna be embarrassed and hate it. But you're gonna have

105
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: to wear it every day for that ten years until

106
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: it comes out. I would say something now, So he

107
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: may not have bought it, or the other part of

108
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: that is, if he has bought it, and here cuts

109
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: into that fifty, he may can just take it back

110
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: and switch it. Yeah, and you can go with him

111
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: and get something you really like. And that's probably the

112
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: case unless he bought it from his friend Clint behind ihop.

113
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: So I would say something. It's just too big of

114
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: a thing not to say something, especially because you said

115
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: something already to put him on that track. And if

116
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: you don't feel comfortable going, hey, remember that ring I

117
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: showed you. I don't like it anymore. You got to

118
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: find a way to bring it up. Like so and

119
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: so got engaged. Make up a friend. My friend Lucy

120
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: at work got engaged and he got her a ring

121
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: like I was showing you, and I saw it. It It

122
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: actually isn't that good. I don't like that ring anymore.

123
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: You can do that, you can make up something. Just

124
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: the methods to him, But he needs to know. You

125
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to wear a ring you hate. Don't make

126
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: him buy a ring that he may not have bought

127
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: yet because you him a long time ago. You liked it,

128
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: you don't anymore. So you got it. You gotta do it.

129
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: You gotta go chase it down. Nope, don't like it anymore.

130
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: The end. I mean, listen, the best way just go ahead,

131
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: remember that ring. I told you I don't like it anymore. Yeah,

132
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: that's it. That's the easiest way. But if you want

133
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: to do something I would do, I'd be like, yeah,

134
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: my friend losing getting gig lucy. Hey, No, I agree.

135
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: It's okay to say something. You just have to find

136
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: the courage to do it and know that you know

137
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: you don't know what his response is going to be.

138
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: And I would say how he handles this could be

139
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: very telling. Well, if he handles it poorly and he

140
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: gets his feelings hurt, that's only gonna be temporary. Though

141
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: that ring is gonna be forever. So I mean, he

142
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: may have his feelings hurt for a second and be like, oh,

143
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: but that ring will He'll be happy after his feelings

144
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: are hurt that you told him, Yes, take it from

145
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: somebod who gets his feelings hurt. I'm always happy when

146
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: my wife's like, yeah, that joke's not that funny, would

147
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: you tail? And she doesn't say it like that because

148
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: I'll ask her. I'll be like, hey, what do you

149
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: think about this joke? And should go m I don't

150
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: think it's as funny as it could be. And I'm like,

151
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: what I could believe you would say that in my

152
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: mind because I know I just asked her to critique it.

153
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: And then she'll go, what if you move this word

Speaker 1: here and say it like this? And I'm like, you

155
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: don't even know what it's like to do comedy. And

156
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: then I'm like writing it down on my phone and

157
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: then I do it on stage and it's so much

158
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: funnier how she did it. I'm so happy we went

159
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: through that process having my feelings hurt because I asked

160
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: for it. Then she told me and it's better. So

161
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: there you go, so go do it. Go tell them

162
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: thank you. They're not so pretty. Ring girl. That's the

163
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: mail bag. Close it up. We've got your That was

164
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: about the cloth. I do think it's unfair. Well you're

165
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: about to say, Eddie, what do you mean? Well, because

166
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: we dress like in pajamas our sweats most of the time,

167
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: regardless of whos go ahead and say your thing. Well,

168
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: I just think that whenever we have artists like Cody

169
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Johnson come in and like good looking dudes, the girls

170
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden get dressed up, the dresses come out,

171
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: the nice blouses come out, we never see those Wait wait,

172
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: wait are they not cal blouses? Okay, we understand your point.

173
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: By the way, Cody Johnson will be in a little

174
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: bit love Cody Johnson. You'll know him from this song

175
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: right here. He's gonna perform. But Eddie says, when good

176
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: looking dudes come, the ladies show out a little bit.

177
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, like, what do you think you have

178
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: a chance with these guys? Like, well, like why get

179
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: all dressed up? Why are you looking to impress these dudes?

180
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: Is my question. Let's morrigan. Yes, obviously Edie's talking about you.

181
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: He can talk about me all he wants, because my

182
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: face and my hair are done every day, and that's

183
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: one thing that matters because of camera. That's why I

184
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: said basses and I like to make sure that if

185
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: anyone comes in studio that I am more dressed up.

186
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what artists is love it. Amen, me too, Yeah,

187
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: me too. Actually, go ahead, that's just the case. So

188
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I'm always a presentable person,

189
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: and so yes, on the days that I don't have

190
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: to do that, I would like to wear my more

191
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: comfy clothes because it's also cold in here, so I

192
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: like to be comfortable. It sounds like the story is

193
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: that you guys, do you a lunchbox? Just stay slobs

194
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: all the time. Also, when people come over to your house,

195
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: do you not clean up a little more? Yeah, company's

196
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: coming a little bit, a little bit when you're answering

197
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: the phones and you're not gonna interact with them. No

198
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: need to wear dress interacts with every artist. But also

199
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: if people aren't going to the kitchen, why I clean

200
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: the kitchen? Why not let the dishes? No, you clean

201
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: the kitchen just in case. No, not down with that.

202
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate when people dress up and look a little

203
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: more professional when guests come in. It's company coming over

204
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: to the house basically, So I don't and you guys

205
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: look like slobs every day. And you know what, we're

206
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: not trying to impress any I'm not trying to hook

207
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: up with anything. I'm not trying to nobody's trying to

208
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: hook over with an artist trying to be best so rude. Yeah, Abby,

209
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: what do you want to say about this? Because they're

210
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: also shining a light on you here. Yes, they're freaking

211
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: up because I have a dress on. But it's summer

212
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: and the like all their people are in here. Yes,

213
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: they're like fifteen people here, and I feel like I

214
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: don't dress up that much like Morgan does. And so

215
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: hold on, what were you saying with that? No, I

216
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: was just saying, so I feel like I need to

217
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: when there are artists in here, not any particular artists,

218
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: but when there are guests and visitors, that's when I do.

219
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: And I felt like wearing a dress today. Remember the

220
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: time Lunchbox had one of the executive show up and

221
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: he was in like his underwear. Yes, yes, And then

222
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: she was like why did was he just wearing his underwear? Yeah?

223
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: And then so he's like, oh, sorry, I didn't know

224
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: I need to get dress. Yes, yes, when people here,

225
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: you have to dress up. Okay, I'll just remember that.

226
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure every artists they're dressed up, then,

227
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: every artist, not just not the cops. Though, no, no,

228
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: no, no no, they say they do it for every artist,

229
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: so I'm yes. I would also like to say that

230
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: you guys may think we're more dressing up for the men,

231
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: but honestly, we dress up more for the girls because

232
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: we like the respect of them. Of we dress uh

233
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: both as fashionably as they would, So we actually dress

234
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: better when the women come in because we want their

235
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: compliments more than we want the men. Yeah, they seem

236
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: to think that doesn't happen. That would debunk your theory.

237
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: My theory, Come on, say your theory is what's put

238
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: it out there. Your theory is that they get dressed

239
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: up for these artists because they're trying to like, oh

240
00:10:54,160 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: my god, man is so crazy married that maybe maybe

241
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: get a number. Okay, but like Cody Johnson is married

242
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: Mary forever exactly? They know that? Did they know that

243
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: before he came in? It's a google away. Okay, I

244
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: think you guys are crazy. I also thank you guys

245
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: when you dressed like you are today. Not professional. Yeah,

246
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: we're not. I'm not trying to hook up with Cody.

247
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm number Cody Johnson coming in a little bit. I

248
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: would like to say thank you guys for looking professional today.

249
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: They don't have to you every day because some days

250
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: there are no We're just in the studio doing it ourselves,

251
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, but there are people coming in. You put

252
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: your best foot forward. I appreciate companies coming over. You

253
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: clean the house. I appreciate that. All right, well, you two,

254
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: it's time for the good news. Last year, Mary Cormier

255
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: got a call about a dog with a broken leg

256
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: on the side of the road. The dog, Ranger, was

257
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: hit by a car roaming around, and so she went.

258
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: She picked up Ranger, and she found out that he'd

259
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: been homeless for seven years, which is crazy the dog

260
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: survived for that long. She took him in, she got

261
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: him the surgery that he needed. With the helpless of donations,

262
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: she had rescued several dogs and so she has a

263
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: like a way for people to help her help these dogs.

264
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: So she got it, put the dog up. She said, hey,

265
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: does anyone want this dog? This is what he's been through.

266
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: This woman named Judy said I will adopt Ranger. So

267
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: Rangers now live with Judy for about two weeks. She's

268
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: been a companion and a protector so far. However, Ranger

269
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: recently alerted Judy when her granddaughter was having a seizure.

270
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: He scratched on the granddaughter's door, whimpering very loudly, and

271
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: so Judy's like, what's going on? Scratch scratch, And so

272
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: she went in and her granddaughter had a seizure, which

273
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: is crazy that a dog could recognize and scratched through

274
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: that could hear something was going on. And then Judy

275
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: was like, let me see. Sometimes my dogs won't shut up,

276
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, shut up. I don't go. I

277
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: don't even go see. Who knows how many lives I

278
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: could have saved if I would have just went and saw.

279
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: But I'm like, yeah, you guys are good. But that's awesome.

280
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: So shout out to Mary Krmy for saving the dog

281
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: and making sure Ranger got the surgery, Judy for adopting Ranger,

282
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: and then Ranger for saving her granddaughter, which is a

283
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 1: pretty remarkable story. That is what it's all about. That

284
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: was tell me something good on the Bobby Bones Show. Now.

285
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: Cody Johnson, Oh, Cody, after you had played our iHeart

286
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: Country Festival, always searching for you, I don't searching for anybody,

287
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, I gotta go find Cody because

288
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: I never met you. Before, and I was like, where's Cody.

289
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: I was tearing it up back there, and they were like,

290
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: he had a family thing, and I was like, all right,

291
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: I respect that and I'll see him some other time.

292
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: I got out of there. Yeah, but man, you just

293
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: do such a great live show. I mean, yes, sang

294
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: and I already really liked your songs. I remember sharing

295
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: your songs here on this show a few years, few

296
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: years back. But you were so good live that I

297
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: left going okay, good, you know, I was right. But

298
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: then like Scuba Steve, our producer who didn't really grow

299
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: up on country music, he's in love with you and

300
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: he's got like the biggest guy crush ever. So yeah,

301
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: I throw him under the bus on the air. Well,

302
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: he's already done that to himself. We leave and he's

303
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: just playing all Cody Johnson all the time. But so first,

304
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: just your your live shows are so great. I imagine

305
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: that that is so important to you as a performer,

306
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: and you know, coming up the way you've come up,

307
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: it's it's the only ladies you had to stand on

308
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: when you came from where I came from, um, you know,

309
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: growing up playing in Texas, and you I came to Nashville,

310
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: and I tried the whole thing, and it was very much, uh, well,

311
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: you got to take your hat off, and we're not

312
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: singing about country cowboys stuff. I mean, at the time,

313
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: it was all very very platformed as far as for

314
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: will drive trucks and cut off shorts, and it was

315
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: very like it was a thing, and if you didn't

316
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: fit into that mold, you didn't you didn't get the spotlight,

317
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: which I was fine with. So when you go back

318
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: home with that and you're just kind of appreciate the

319
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: skin you're in kind of thing, Uh, your live show

320
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: is all you have, and those fans that you create

321
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: on the independent level, they don't really care about what

322
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: radio station you're played on or what let record label

323
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: you're with. And when you can build that, that's what

324
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: got us to the point where we were able to

325
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: merge with Warner Nashville, and I was able to make

326
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: a partnership and get a deal that where I still

327
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: got to maintain my independent spirit. And now we're reaching

328
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: fans that only care if you're played on the radio

329
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: or you have a label deal, so they're to merge

330
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: those two kinds of fans together. Your live show has

331
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: to be on point every day, every night. You have

332
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: to pretend it's the last show you're ever going to play,

333
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: that this is the show that's gonna make or break

334
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: you with these fans. And so when you see me

335
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: on stage, it's it's not rehearsed, it's not fake, it's

336
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: it's authentic. You know, often poke fun at artists who

337
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: will wear cowboy hats but not be a real cowboy.

338
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: You know, that's just like kind of a It's like

339
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: carrot top and a prop. And so however, I often say,

340
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: like a Randy Howser was in he was a real

341
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: cowboy growing up. And John Party is a friend of mine.

342
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: He was a real cowboy. He can go out now,

343
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: wrote and he could do all that with you. You're

344
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: a real cowboy. So for someone to be like, you know,

345
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: we don't do the cowboy, but you're like, I'm a

346
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: real freaking cowboy. What do you mean the cowboy stuff?

347
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: Like this is real life stuff. I wasn't very nice

348
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: for my manager. I wish I wish half yall could

349
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: have been in the room. It was we're I'm not

350
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: even gonna mention the label, but they said, uh, well

351
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: we when we love your stuff, We love you, but

352
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: I mean, would you be willing to take the hat off?

353
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: And I was like, and I literally said, oh, you

354
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: thought I bought this to come see you? And he

355
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: kind of and my managers are pretty large guy, he

356
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: just kind of shrunk down his chair. And I shouldn't

357
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: have said that, I still said it. Do you you know?

358
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: I have like a couple of nagging injuries and it's stupid.

359
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: It's from like high school football or like a I mean,

360
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm to say this in front of you because your

361
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: real life cowboy. I did a dance competition once and

362
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: I hurt myself from when you were riding bull Do

363
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: you have any injuries that are still linger where it's like, oh,

364
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: my back of my leg? It's funny you say that.

365
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: I actually just had neck surgery in December. It was

366
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: I had been in pain since twenty seventeen and it

367
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: just kept getting worse, kept getting worse, and there was

368
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: numbness and burning, and my whole right arm was just

369
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: felt like it was falling off. And so we went

370
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: into an MRI and they put me an emergency surgery.

371
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: They pulled out my C six and my C seven,

372
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: so they did an emergency surgery. You went in for

373
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: an MRI because of pain for a long time. I

374
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: could have been hurting. So you're like, well, I gotta

375
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: get this done. I guess I'll go now. You're just

376
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, you put it off. It sounds like yeah,

377
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: and then they go, we gotta go now, he said,

378
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: he said, we need to be in surgery within the

379
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: next hour. He said, because so this particular surgeon was

380
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: retiring and he's like, man, you gotta get this done, like,

381
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: you gotta get this done. And I said, well, maybe

382
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: I'll wait, and he said, there's a chance you can

383
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: lose the functionality of your right arm completely. So there

384
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: was bones, spurs that were shaved off, of shaved off

385
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: of the vertebrae, completely ruptured disc, and they found thirteen

386
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: bone fragments on the nerve, which means at some point

387
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: I fractured my neck. And it was just I mean,

388
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: he's like, when you would know when you did this.

389
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I do a lot of stupid stuff,

390
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: So I really, I really don't know. I can't tell

391
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: you one particular time. That's crazy that they go, we

392
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: gotta go now after you had just kind of let it.

393
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it too. You're hurt. You're like,

394
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: I can't go to the doctor anytime, but they're like, no,

395
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: we gotta go right now. And then when they're digging

396
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: that in your spinal cord too, that's that's real deal stuff.

397
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: It was a five and a half hour long surgery.

398
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: You know, do you go? Are you nervous going to listen?

399
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: I had a colonoscopy and I was nervous. I was like,

400
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: I may die. But you're going in and they're dating

401
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: on like real parts of your body, are you like,

402
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: oh man, I may not wake up. I was extremely nervous,

403
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, but whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen. And

404
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: I was in so much pain at that time. I

405
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: didn't care. I'm like, I'm not a pain pill guy

406
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: at all. Like I don't even take a tie at all.

407
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: And I was like, give me drugs, help me not

408
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: to hurt right now, and so I was. I was thankful.

409
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: They're like, well, we're gonna have to cut here and

410
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: cut there. I don't care, just get rid of it.

411
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: Just I'd had enough. Do you think it's from falling,

412
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: like being tossed off of bulls or just the general

413
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: wear and tear of all of it. I mean, because

414
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: you're you're constantly getting tossed around and on my neck

415
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: and on my head um more than a few times, bulls,

416
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: horses and stuff like that. But I mean, yeah, I've

417
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: not been very nice to my body. I don't want

418
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: to brag, but I've done quite the amount of mutton busting.

419
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: I remember, Brad Cody, I was seven year old. Actually

420
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: just want a mutton busting? Yeah, I was like seven

421
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: year old. I was like fifteen, fifteen, sixteen or so.

422
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: Do you watch Rodeo now or are you mostly like

423
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: some of my friends that played ball, They're like, you know,

424
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: I've seen it. I'm good, I don't need to watch

425
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: it right now, because it was it was pretty traumatic

426
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: for me. No, I so for a long time. I

427
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: didn't a long time. And if anybody's I don't know

428
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: if you have or you haven't, but my documentary Dear

429
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: Rodeo kind of tells that story. If I was bitter

430
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: for a long time because I wasn't good enough to

431
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: make it and so I didn't watch it, and I

432
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: was pretty immature about the whole thing, and uh, you know,

433
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm in a different place in my life. Now, I'm

434
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: thirty five, I'm gonna at the point when my music

435
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: careers doing wonderful. I've got a beautiful wife that's my

436
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: best friend, and beautiful kids and a cattle ranch back

437
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: in Texas, and that's what we do every day, is

438
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: we rope and train horses and work cows, and so

439
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: it's like, it's funny. I thought that bull riding was

440
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: like that was I was really mad that I didn't

441
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: get to achieve that goal when in all reality, like

442
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm so much more involved in rodeo and so much

443
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: more involved in the cowboy way of life now than

444
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: I ever would have been trying to ride bulls. But yeah,

445
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: we follow it. Now. We've got a lot of friends

446
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: that are in professional rodeo, and so it's fun to

447
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: watch them compete and succeed. And you know, I'm pretty

448
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: handy with a rope, but I don't have time those guys.

449
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: They have to chase that career like I chased this career.

450
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: It is every day, every night, day in, day out, grind,

451
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: and so it's there's a lot. Then they're not getting paid.

452
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: They're not like professional athletes that get paid whenever they

453
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: sit on the dal like you can hurt yourself in

454
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: baseball and sit on the bench and still get paid

455
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: non rodeo. If you're hurt, you're out. And so that's

456
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: why you see guys keep and girls keep going even

472
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:13,359

473
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: no left on says, just turn the page. Ah, but

476
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: Why I hated Somehow it hies out way the lows

477
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: and I do it on again even No, we both know.

478
00:22:45,280 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: I still have to let you go. Dude, do you

479
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: on Cody Johnson and Studio Awesome? We were watching your

480
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: Cody play again at our our country festival. You came

481
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: out and you played Human and you did that that

482
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: song live, and you talked about how maybe it was

483
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: going to come out or did you just come out.

484
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: I think it's such a powerful song and i'd like

485
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: to play that now if you're cool with that on

486
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: the radio. Is that cool? Cody? Good with that? Oh?

487
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: You want to play Human on the right? I thought

488
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: you meant right now? Yeah, spin it man, I'm gonna

489
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: spin it. Yeah, I'm gonna play it right now. You're

490
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: call with that? All right? So why let me ask

491
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: you before I played here? Why would you decide to

492
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: cut this song? What do I mean to you it's real. Um,

493
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: following up till you can't be in our first number one. UM.

494
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: It had a great message, and I think I've lived

495
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: human and I think it's something we all have in

496
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: common or where you stand on any issue. We're all

497
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: doing the same thing. We're all doing through the same life,

498
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. And uh, I think that

499
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of my mark is I'm gonna put out

500
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: stuff that I can stand behind and say I live

501
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: that it's authentic. So on the Bobby Bones Show, now,

502
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: Cody Johnson, Cody's here where this is gonna be. I'm

00:24:51,600 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: Everything about that, you gotta cheese take it? We practice

511
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: it so you don't want to go as high because

512
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: it's early. Yeah, I'm telling you, but then it sounds weird.

519
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: those things that I knew when I recorded it. You'd

520
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: have to sing it every night once you recorded it,

521
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: or do it right or it'll hurt you. Yeah, and

Speaker 1: don't blow it out. Don't blow it out, all right.

524
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: Cody Johnson's here, uh, Cody watching you perform live, and

525
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: I remember watching not just listening to your vocal, but

526
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: watching you and it looked to me like definitely country music,

527
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: but definitely a little gospel as well, because I grew

528
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: up in a Baptist church, and right or wrong, I

529
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: feel like I could see a little bit of that

530
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: in your performance. Was church when you were growing up

531
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: part of your like musical in the early years. Absolutely,

532
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: It's where I learned the basis of most everything I know. Um,

533
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 1: you know, I learned drums because we needed a drummer,

534
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: and so I learned how to play the people in

535
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, like the church up in and so they

536
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: were like, we don't have a drummer. And so my

537
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: dad knew drums, and dad just taught me rhythm. And

538
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: my dad played the piano, and so he was like

539
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: Floyd Kramer good and uh, I wanted to learn guitar,

540
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: and he taught me gc Indeed, it's the only things

541
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: he knew on guitar really, And so I would come

542
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: home from school and I would tape, like while I

543
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: was at school, I would take my cassette tapes and

544
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: I would record a channel I would record like the

545
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: country channel or the R and B channel or the

546
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: rock channel or whatever. And when I get home, I

547
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: would play the song and i'd pause it and I'd

548
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: try to play it and i'd play it back and

549
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: I'd do it until my fingers bled. But I didn't

550
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: get to play guitar in the church. It was just drums,

551
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: and they didn't let me playing drums very much. I

552
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: played like I wanted to play like Zeppelin in church,

553
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: like you've never heard all Flyaway Old Glory like I

554
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: played it. And so that didn't last very long. So

555
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: you're playing drums are you singing it all in church? Oh? Yeah,

556
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: that was so that was My parents grew up singing

557
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: like like quartet gospel types, like Gaither vocal band type stuff,

558
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: the Kingsman, and so I had to learn harmony first.

559
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: It wouldn't let me sing lead. It was you can

560
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: learn these harmony parts since, But it was it kind

561
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: of gave me what I call an ear education because

562
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how to read music. I don't know

563
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: how to read a guitar tab like I can't even

564
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: do the number system in the studio with the studio guys.

565
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: But it's all from what I hear. And that's really

566
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: a blessing and a curse because I can hear things

567
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: that most people can't. But then it's hard. I can't

568
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: explain it. So, if your dad was such a good musician,

569
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: did he have aspirations of making it big back in

570
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: the day. No, I'm like, I grew up in a

571
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: really small town and a small town people, and I

572
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: think I might have been like the only guy that

573
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: just said I'm going somewhere and I didn't know how,

574
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know what. But yeah, I'm kind of an anomaly.

575
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: Wog me through If You're at a piano with your

576
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: mom or your dad and they're teaching you how to

577
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: sing harmonies. Are they playing and you're singing the harmony

578
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: of the notes on the piano or are you their voice?

579
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: Like what are you chasing? It was their vote, their voices.

580
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: So this is the lead part. This is the low,

581
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: this is the high. You know, this is the what

582
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: is it the third up or the fifth? I can't

583
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: even tell you, but when you hear those different things,

584
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: and then we would learn to switch. When mom sang lead,

585
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, dad would be down here and I would

586
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: be up here. When Dad sang lead, I would be

587
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 1: up here, Mom would be down here. And eventually I

588
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: got to sing lead. And then I was like, I

589
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: will start playing my guitar. And I went to school

590
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: and I played my guitar and girls liked it, and

591
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, there's something to this. And then

592
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: I graduated and started playing bars and I got paid

593
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: one time, and I was like, Okay, there's something to this.

594
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: And that's kind of where it started snowballing. So you're

595
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: playing music, but you're also rodeoing two careers where there's

596
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: not a lot of long term promise. Well, and you know,

597
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: I've always said this, like if I would have grown

598
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: up in West Virginia, I'd have probably been a coal miner,

599
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: because when you grow up in a little small town,

600
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: you'd grow up and you do what dad did. And

601
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: so that's what I did. My dad worked for thirty

602
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: three years at the prison system in Texas. So whenever

603
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: I turned eighteen, that's what I did, and I went

604
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: to work for the prison system. So that was your stability,

605
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: that was your paycheck work. That's about as far as

606
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: I looked. You know, it's a steady paycheck, it's got insurance,

607
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: and that was kind of my ceiling. That's where I

608
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: kept myself. And I just never was happy, you know.

609
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: And it took certain people in my life saying you're

610
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna be old one day and you're gonna

611
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: regret not having taken this chance to go play music,

612
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: you know, And like my warden that I was working

613
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: for at the prison system said, there's always going to

614
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: be people in prison, and there will always be room

615
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: for a job. Here, go try because if you don't

616
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: go try, and you don't take this chance, then you're

617
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: going to regret it. And that's what we did. We

618
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: went full force. My wife worked two jobs and I

619
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: went out on the road, and we didn't make money

620
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: for like the first five years. I was paying, you know,

621
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: like Jody here, I was giving him the hundred dollars

622
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: and whoever else the hundred dollars and my one hundred

623
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: dollars went to the van, and so I was literally

624
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: bringing in absolutely no money. It was we were just

625
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 1: riding on her shoulders, and so I wish we had

626
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: TikTok back then. You know, it's interesting because I think

627
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: sometimes it gets overlooked by certain people, but you focused

628
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: on it here and highlighted it. Your wife is such

629
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: a critical part to your success and you being right

630
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: here right now. Absolutely, She's probably the only reason I've

631
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: got my head on straight, you know, and people like me,

632
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: you gotta think about it. Any kind of man that

633
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: would work at voluntarily work at a prison, ride bulls

634
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: and go out on the road with absolutely no guarantees

635
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: of money. I mean, I'm a little bit of it.

636
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean I am what I am. Are you an

637
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: adownaling guy, I'm absolutely an adrenaling guy. You like to

638
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 1: go fast and get be up, swinging high and all

639
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: that stuff. Yeah, you know, that's the thing is she

640
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 1: kind of makes me realize, hey, stupid stay down here

641
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: on earth with the rest of us, and and uh

642
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: it's a great reminder. But that's what you know. She

643
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: did so much for me. It's like I told her,

644
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, one of these days, you're not gonna work,

645
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: you're not gonna want for anything, and I'm gonna make it.

646
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the drive behind what I've done.

647
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: Cody Johnson is here. If you don't mind, I know

648
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,760

668
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: Here the most pure rush yell I've ever heard right on,

669
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean perfect, It's a controlled screen. It shook me

670
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: inside my guts. Okay, I got a couple of things

671
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: I want to say here. First of all, you guys

672
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: check out Human the double album, and we played the

673
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: song earlier, and I was looking at stuff to promote

674
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: and I still will. But everything's about basically Cody. It's

675
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: a great problem to have. I mean, I'm like, all right,

676
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,239
Speaker 1: what can I tell people? So this is when I say,

677
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: Cody Johnson and friends. So it's go to Cody Johnson

678
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 1: music dot com. Because it's you know, different nights, Easton Corbyn,

679
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: Drew Parker, Randy Hows or I could go through. But

680
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: there are some shows where you can get a couple

681
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: of tickets, but holy maybe everything's selling out. It's a

682
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: great problem. We'll be in bigger venues next year. Okay,

683
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear that. I will ask you about

684
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: this because I saw you talking about you were just

685
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: kind of teasing the three albums, three projects you're working on,

686
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: right it just yeah, So we just got through recording

687
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: a live album, which is something that we've always wanted

688
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: to do. You know, you mentioned at the very beginning

689
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: of the show how important the live show is. We've

690
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: never been able to capture the energy. And right now

691
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: we're in a spot where we're playing big arenas and

692
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 1: big amphitheaters and we're getting ready to make that next

693
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: move into much larger venues and that's a whole different animal.

694
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: But before we made that, well I say, before we

695
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: graduate to that next step, we really wanted to capture

696
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: what we are as a band. You know, Jody's not

697
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: only that he's been with me for twelve years. Bass

698
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: player has been with us eleven drummer has been with

699
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: us for ten. You know what I mean. We've we're tight.

700
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: We're a very tight knit group. We all wear the

701
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: brand proudly. One of our tattoos together, you know, for

702
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: the rock and cjab, and we wanted to capture that

703
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: before we start adding anything to the show, before we

704
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: add another player, before we So we recorded five shows

705
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: and we wound up with what we feel like as

706
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: the best representation of what we do live. No tracks,

707
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: bare bones, no gimmicks. It's just a band on stage.

708
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: And I'm one of those people like I complain on

709
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: my plates full, but then as soon as something gets

710
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: off my plate, I filled the plate back up again,

711
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: like I'm a glutton for punishment or I like pain

712
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: or something. So we're I'm in the process of I'm

713
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: fixing to go record a new studio album I'd like

714
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: to have out next year. And yeah, so we've got

715
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: a lot. We've got quite a bit going on right now.

716
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: It sounds like it happened something else too. You're not

717
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: telling us, and that's okay. I respect that. I respect that.

718
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: Cody Johnson, dude, just just great. I'm just honored that

719
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: you would play. I mean, you're a big stary I

720
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to come play on this show, but

721
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm very appreciative that you guys would come in and

722
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 1: play this Both of you guys, So thank you very much,

723
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 1: and we'll be standing outside defense that your concerts go on.

724
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: Let us in because I think, all right there he

725
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: is Cody Johnson, everybody. I'm a big truck driver advocate,

726
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: you know, having to get a cdo myself. It's tough.

727
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: And then people don't care, and they're they're swerving around

728
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: and you're driving this humongous truck and they're putting their

729
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: own lives at risk and then yours and your family,

730
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: and it's a hard job. And so big truck driver guy,

731
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: and so I root for him. I try to share

732
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: the safety issues they deal with. And sometimes we'll get

733
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: a good call from a trucker as well. This is

734
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: trucker Joe. Hey, Bobby, I have a TSA for all

735
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: your listeners, and since you took your test, you can

736
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 1: verify it. It takes a football field for a truck

737
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 1: to stop, so cutting bright out in front of them

738
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: is not a good idea and just supposed to be

739
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: three car lengths ahead of them before you move over

740
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: into their main. If a cop catch you're doing it,

741
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: sooner you can get a chicken. If the truck hits you,

742
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: it's automatically your fault, and trucks you have cameras in

743
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: them to show that. Thank you. You're welcome. Trucker Joe.

744
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: Appreciate that call. And if you hit a teen wheeler,

745
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: regardless of whose fault, your fault, my fault, default, you

746
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 1: lose because I think it's big, they're huge. Yeah, you

747
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: just lose. It's like walking across at a pedestrian walk.

748
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: If the light says go or not, you still got

749
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: to look both ways because if a car hits you,

750
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: regardless of right or wrong, you lose. Yeah, so you

751
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: gotta watch out. I appreciate that call, trucker Joe. You're

752
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: Amy's pile of stories. A big decision for parents is

753
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: what age to get their kids a cell phone. We

754
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: talk about it on the show often and data just

755
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: came out showing the most parents are doing it at

756
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: age ten. Thoughts on that, Amy, I mean, my son

757
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: is going to be twelve soon, and I know I'm

758
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: not getting him a phone. You've said, though, your son,

759
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: since he came from an orphanage in another country, maybe

760
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: it is a little behind. He is, yes, so so.

761
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: And then my daughter same things, a little behind. She

762
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: got a phone at fourteen. So your daughter rocking Man.

763
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: She's so smart. Yeah, do you think she's catching up?

764
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: She's she's catching up. She's very I feel like she's

765
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: street smart. It's some of the basic education stuff that

766
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: she lacked growing up in the orphanage and not having

767
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: some of the fundamentals that set her back, and then

768
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: English being her second language and only speaking it for

769
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: the last four years. Yeah, I forget that sometimes. But okay,

770
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: ten though too early in your mind, Eddie. It's not

771
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 1: a hard decision. I think once they start driving, you

772
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: can get him a cell phone. Six, but you fall

773
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: it used to be eighteen. It was eighteen. I came

774
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: down and my fourteen year old has one. But it's

775
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: kind of all my kids' cell phones. He doesn't take

776
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: it to school, he doesn't take it places, but we'll

777
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: take it. No, if we leave him at home, you know,

778
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: that's not called a cell phone, it's called landline. Wait, so, like,

779
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: what if he's out and about and he needs to

780
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: get a hold of you, well, ye, special special occasions

781
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: like that, yes, okay, Well ten is what the average American. Yeah,

782
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: And I would say, if you're doing ten, definitely take

783
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: advantage of the parental controls and then those parents are

784
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: also saying there's boundaries like the kids can't have the

785
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: cell phone up in their room and no cell phones

786
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,439
Speaker 1: at the table, which I did see an article too,

787
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: saying that more and more families are trying to get

788
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: intentional about meals around the table because that's the best

789
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: way to connect to each other. Yeah that's good. I

790
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: like that. My wife enforces that with me. Yeah. Yeah, well,

791
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: and I don't. I don't. I now don't even think

792
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: about the phone really at dinner. I put it away immediately.

793
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: But you know, when we decide to have kids, I'll

794
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: probably put a cell phone in the crib because if

795
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: they start using it early, it won't be a big thing.

796
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: They'll just know and they'll know all the rules, right,

797
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: all right, What else, Bobby, When you went off to college,

798
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: did you know how to clean up after yourself? Like, yeah,

799
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: I raised myself up like a cook. I could uh yeah,

800
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: save a wounded human. I could do all of it. Yeah. Well,

801
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: in a survey, the majority of college kids all said yeah, like,

802
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: we're not. My room is clean, I feel my best.

803
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: But more than half of them said that they went

804
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: off to college completely unprepared and didn't know how to

805
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: clean up after themselves, which is crazy to me. How

806
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: to clean up after yourself ridiculous, Like you know, you

807
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: just act like you don't know, so when you don't

808
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: do it, like I didn't know, you know how to

809
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: clean up after yourself. Everyone does. Okay, Well, I'm just

810
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: sharing with you the survey, and I too was shocked

811
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 1: by it. And just a heads up to parents because

812
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: we've got it. Maybe a week or two before kids

813
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: have head off to college, and maybe you just teach

814
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: them the laundry to teach them how to do. Okay, laundry,

815
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: that's a thing. Okay, I don't really consider that clean

816
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: up after yourself. But okay, now I didn't know how

817
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: to really do laundry except for put it all in

818
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: there and do it on cold. That's a safe way,

819
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: like say in the dark, say in the towel. That

820
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: was a safe way. Yeah. So when I got to college,

821
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: I go to laundry Matt, I put it all on cold,

822
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: puts quarters in the end. Now I still I really

823
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 1: don't know how to do it now, all right, Else,

824
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: Tyler Howard said that he only had twelve dollars in

825
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 1: his bank account in two thousand and eleven before Cruise

826
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 1: came out. I remember being over in Barry Hill recording

827
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: our first album and we were literally working on Cruise

828
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: hood and on at the time that someone was going

829
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: to do what it did, And I was coming back

830
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: from lunch and I was sitting in the parking lot

831
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 1: literally checking my bank account and I had twelve dollars

832
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: left him in my bank account, which was you know,

833
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: and at the time, you know, I didn't I didn't

834
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: have a resource to go to other than what where

835
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 1: the next car I'm gonna watch, you know. And so

836
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: for me, I knew the next day, I can't go

837
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: to the studio because I gotta go work because I'm

838
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: down to pretty much one mill left. Is that for

839
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: my podcast? Yeah, I pulled that's got to tell the

840
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: same stories everybody. Yeah. I was really confused and I

841
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: was getting upset. I was like, oh, no, that's the

842
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: story he told me. Well, it came out the other

843
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: day on Friday. Yeah. I thought that that part was interesting,

844
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 1: and you can search for it on iHeartRadio or revue

845
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: listening to podcasts. I think the most interesting part is

846
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: when I asked him, did you guys break up because

847
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: your political beliefs. Yeah, oh yeah, there's a good question,

848
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: and I liked it. Get an award for that one,

849
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: all right? Is that it made me? That's my pile.

850
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the

851
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: good news. I love when little kids inspire us. This

852
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: time it's a seven year old named Tuca. Sorry lives

853
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, and he started his own business, Tied by Tuca.

854
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: He makes and designs and then sells tight eye shirts,

855
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: and he has donated three hundred and seventy five dollars

856
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: to Your Safe Haven, which is a local shelter. Then

857
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: he created some more shirts and was able to give

858
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty five dollars to the Special Olympics

859
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania. And he continues to just make shirts and

860
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: cut checks. Yeah it's good. It's a lot of money

861
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: to a seven year old. Yeah, a lot of money

862
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: for anybody actually had a seven year old who doesn't

863
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: have a job, also had a tied eye face for

864
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. Tidy shirts are awesome. No where everybody

865
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: kind of has a tied eye face for a little

866
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: bit where they're all like, Tidi is cool. I think

867
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: the seventies were just said general tied ie face for everybody,

868
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: but had a couple of little phases where I thought

869
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: tied eye was where it was you Amy, Oh yeah,

870
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: I'm still I still wear it, latch box. I had

871
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: a tidye short for kickball. That's the only reason I

872
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: was given to you. So he didn't have a face yet, don't.

873
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: I would like to. I think they look cool, but

874
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can I pull it off? Yeah,

875
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,959
Speaker 1: you can pull off anything that you want to pull off.

876
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: That's right. If you like it and you want to

877
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: pull it off, go ahead and pull it off. Also,

878
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: I feel like if you wear tied eye, people don't

879
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: expect anything from you, Like, oh, that dude's just chill,

880
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: like he has no responsibility, Like he's like a They

881
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: think you're a hippie. Yes, stoner yep, because of a

882
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: tight eye shirt. Yes, huh So I think I need

883
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: to get some of those. You won't expect much of me.

884
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: Probably a haircut first, okay, it probably because yeah, yeah,

885
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: that'll be what it is. Have you someone trimmed your bank?

886
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: Someone trimmed your banks? No? No? All right? Would you

887

889
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: if that's on the menu of things they do. All right,

890
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,479
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about. That was tell me something good.
