Speaker 1: segments from this week. On The Bobby Bones Show, Lunchbox
Speaker 1: use the water bottle test to see if his wife
Speaker 1: is cheating. There's been this water bottle test going viral
Speaker 1: on TikTok, and so Lunchbox decided, Hey, I don't have
Speaker 1: any reason, but I'm just gonna try this out and
Speaker 1: see if his wife is cheating, and he brought the
Speaker 1: audio into show what happened and what he found out
Speaker 1: from trying this test number seven. There's a TikTok video
Speaker 1: where the guy's like, all right, this is how you
Speaker 1: find out if your partner's cheating, and it evolves going
Speaker 1: to get a random water bottle, like one that you
Speaker 1: could buy it, like a thrift store, like a walk
Speaker 1: any kind of Yeah, yeah, like a STANLEYMA or whatever.
Speaker 1: Are ray played the cliff from TikTok. If they have
Speaker 1: nothing to hide, that's not mine. I don't know whose
Speaker 1: that is. They'll admit they don't know whose it is
Speaker 1: because you've made them feel like you trust them. But
Speaker 1: if they are cheating, thank you so much. They'll go
Speaker 1: along with you and pretend it's theirs. So you put this,
Speaker 1: you know, thermis whatever, it's not theirs, not yours, it's
Speaker 1: a random you oh that this was in the car,
Speaker 1: and I feel like, oh, that's not mine. Honestly, they
Speaker 1: have nothing to hide at all, because they're just like
Speaker 1: but if they do have stuff to hide, movie, they're like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: that was left in the car by m HM. That

Speaker 1: when you walk to cheese and wine while you were working.
Speaker 1: Cheese too, crackers and like new, yeah it's new. They
Speaker 1: were a bottle and the holf in noon. Dude, what
Speaker 1: kind of music was playing? I don't think that in music.
Speaker 1: Just nature listening to that. Listen to the bird chirp. Okay,
Speaker 1: So what did you do? So I went to the
Speaker 1: good Wheel and I found a water bottle for a
Speaker 1: dollar and I bought it for a dollar, and I
Speaker 1: drove her car somewhere and then when I came in,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I was just cleaning out the car. Boom,
Speaker 1: here we go. Here's the water bottle and we're seeing
Speaker 1: her reaction? Is there? She's standing in the kitchen and
Speaker 1: I walk in and what if we find out here
Speaker 1: that she is cheating? Yeah, we haven't heard the clip yet.
Speaker 1: Here we go go. I was cleaned, I cleaned out
Speaker 1: the car and I found her. I found her water bottle.
Speaker 1: That's not mine. It was underneath your seat, under in
Speaker 1: the car. I've never seen it before. You sure it's
Speaker 1: not yours? It's not mine. I'm just I was cleaning
Speaker 1: out the car, got the kids shoes, some artwork, and
Speaker 1: then this water bottle was under the seat. It's not mine.
Speaker 1: I don't know where it came from. Hull congratul's your
Speaker 1: fast test. You're not cheating, let me kiss. You're still
Speaker 1: married her. She was really like, huh, nothing to hide.
Speaker 1: But then lunch try to keep getting her on the lie, like,
Speaker 1: are you sure water? I tasted it tastes like a
Speaker 1: dude's lips. Maybe they'll crack. Also, she's probably shocked at
Speaker 1: Lunchucks is cleaning out the car. Also, he talks weird
Speaker 1: when he's like doing a bit, because he just keeps
Speaker 1: here's a water bottle, the bottle of water. Here's a
Speaker 1: bottle of water this time. Yeah, he's doing sound effects.
Speaker 1: It's a bottle with agua. But she's not cheating. Goody good.
Speaker 1: We got a good, healthy marriage now. Because you never
Speaker 1: know who you're sleeping next to. You think you know,
Speaker 1: but you have no idea. That's just true. Like you think, oh,
Speaker 1: they would never kill me, but guess what happens a lot?
Speaker 1: How can we test on that? You do think? Sometimes
Speaker 1: like she could like in just the middle of the night,
Speaker 1: I couldn't stop her that I could be asleep and
Speaker 1: she could just be like, she could just go for it.
Speaker 1: Does happen You're sleeping? Next Nime, it's the best Bits
Speaker 1: of the Week with Morgan. Number two. Y'all love to
Speaker 1: hear the rejected segments. These are the things that didn't
Speaker 1: quite make it to the air, but they did make
Speaker 1: it to the air in an unofficial way. In this
Speaker 1: segment we call rejected segments. So they made it, but
Speaker 1: they didn't make it, so it's like second place basically.
Speaker 1: These are second place segments. Number six, it's time for
Speaker 1: rejected segments. I didn't put this on the list because
Speaker 1: it's so new, but I wasn't going to do it
Speaker 1: today because it's just so dumb. But Eddie's like, why
Speaker 1: are you buy us cars? Like what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: And then he sends me a clip with Adam Sandler.
Speaker 1: This is David Spay talking about David Spade telling a
Speaker 1: story about Adam Sandler. I like the clip, It's awesome
Speaker 1: that you would send this to me. Is so dumb.
Speaker 1: Here you go. Is it true that Sadler gave each
Speaker 1: you guys at Maserati? He gave us all Maseratti and
Speaker 1: one car for all of you. Yeah, Chris Rock, calm out,
Speaker 1: have you opinion? Radway, I'm keeping Adam's card here for
Speaker 1: some radio. No, that's for you. We all got one.
Speaker 1: I was like, what they boose guys, Mazarati because they
Speaker 1: were in the movie grown ups. Oh smart, that's crazy,
Speaker 1: that is awesome. Yeah, like George Clooney does that stuff too,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Ahead, what's your point? Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like Adam Sandler, he's he makes the movie,
Speaker 1: and but all of his casts they help him make
Speaker 1: the movie. So that's us to you. So why don't
Speaker 1: you get us something like this? I do get your
Speaker 1: stuff all the No. No, like I'm maserati. Yeah, first
Speaker 1: of all, different, Adam Sandler probably produced the movie himself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you produced this show yourself, and hold on, I don't
Speaker 1: I don't pay your checks. Adam Sandler would have paid
Speaker 1: those people checks. They got his friends, and they did
Speaker 1: him a huge favor by coming in and doing the movie,
Speaker 1: probably taking less money to get that star set of
Speaker 1: cast together. So he's like, well, let me reward you
Speaker 1: guys as friends. You guys are getting paid. He getting
Speaker 1: paid wonderfully. Yeah, I'm probably taking let us just to
Speaker 1: keep the show together handsomely. I don't know, man, that
Speaker 1: would make me feel really good. Made me feel good.
Speaker 1: No maserati either, like lunch Bob calling me, hey, look
Speaker 1: in your garage. Oh my gosh, car. So they lived
Speaker 1: a line do your treat like princes around here by me? Bye?
Speaker 1: Well it just me mostly take places, do stuff, just
Speaker 1: think about it. I rejected that segment. Well, there's so
Speaker 1: many other things we have to be grateful for. And
Speaker 1: then also I just think you went a little high
Speaker 1: with the maserati, like we could ask for something. Oh no,
Speaker 1: you don't get this too, No, no, all, okay, time
Speaker 1: now like a jeep, everybody gets something. It's a dumbest
Speaker 1: thing happen time. Rejected segments, rejected segments, segments we didn't
Speaker 1: want to do. I saw them as like, there's no way,
Speaker 1: But I made a list. Number five Amy's idea to
Speaker 1: do a segment called does this count as a vegetable plate? True?
Speaker 1: I was so annoyed, she said, I was craving veggie
Speaker 1: so I ordered a seasonal. He's an old vegetable plate,
Speaker 1: it said, seasonal. So okay, Well it was cheesy grits,
Speaker 1: fried hush puppies. And beats. She goes, can we debate
Speaker 1: a physics a vegetable plate? It does have a vegetable
Speaker 1: a vegetable on a plate? Yeah, that was rejected. Segment
Speaker 1: number five rejected. Segments number four was Lunchbox's idea, and
Speaker 1: mostly the idea was there, but he wanted to send
Speaker 1: someone away for days to go on a darkness retreat
Speaker 1: by himself, like Aaron Rodgers did. He said, we spend
Speaker 1: the wheel and remember a lands On has to go
Speaker 1: on a four day darkness retreat. That's funny, that's called
Speaker 1: the Wheel of Darkness. I think that's great for us
Speaker 1: to leave for for it's just and who's gonna pay
Speaker 1: for the trip? I have to pay for all the
Speaker 1: games anyway in this show, I'm not paying for a trip.
Speaker 1: I mean, how perfect would that be? What if it's
Speaker 1: just like one of our houses in the room's dark
Speaker 1: for four days? Are you guys gonna do all right?
Speaker 1: Next one out rejected Segments number three on the list.
Speaker 1: It was that there were two bowling stories at the
Speaker 1: same time. Actually there were three. So first Edie wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about how he bowled seven games in a row,
Speaker 1: amazing record seven games your ba hurt. Yes, my arm,
Speaker 1: my back, everything. What is cool about that? He bowlts nothing?
Speaker 1: That's why we didn't do it. You're talking to number one.
Speaker 1: Have you ever bowled seven games in a row? Probably?
Speaker 1: And if I did, I don't think I'd bring it
Speaker 1: as a bit. Oh. The next one, Ray said, what's
Speaker 1: something you're willing to admit to the world that you're
Speaker 1: really bad at? And Rays was bowling. This is like
Speaker 1: the same day in Weird. It's like we talked about this. Oh,
Speaker 1: did you guys know we did it? Yeah, to Bowl
Speaker 1: of forty eight. I didn't even know that was possible.
Speaker 1: They were actually asking me if I needed the bumpers.
Speaker 1: It's the one thing I'm really bad at. His bowling.
Speaker 1: I never did it. That was number three. I knew
Speaker 1: there'd be nothing there. And then obviously Eddie's kid had
Speaker 1: a birthday party to Bowling Alley and wanted Alan Jackson
Speaker 1: to come to it. We talked about that. Though we
Speaker 1: did that. We got one bowling story in there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: here we go. Number two rejected segment. This is called
Speaker 1: show prep report card, A little peeking behind the scenes show. Prehaps,
Speaker 1: everybody submits an idea and I'll kind of go through
Speaker 1: and say does this work? Does this not? And then
Speaker 1: we grade everybody. Only one person gets an A, one
Speaker 1: person gets an F. Everybody gets a grade, and then
Speaker 1: the person with the F the most f'st end of
Speaker 1: the week has to stay and right for thirty minutes
Speaker 1: on a board. I will submit better prep next week,
Speaker 1: over and over again. I don't like that one, well
Speaker 1: got rejected. It's from Mike D. Yeah, rejected and rejected segments.
Speaker 1: I like this one. I do. I like this one.
Speaker 1: It's a number one rejected segment. I just feel like
Speaker 1: you guys wouldn't all be on board. So again from
Speaker 1: Mike D. He wanted to do one number of the
Speaker 1: phone number as punishment for easy trivia if you lose first.
Speaker 1: So here's how it goes. If you're eliminated first an
Speaker 1: easy trivia, you have to give out one number of
Speaker 1: your phone number in order, so if you continue to lose,
Speaker 1: by the end of it, listeners might have your number.
Speaker 1: If you come in last ten games throughout the year,
Speaker 1: your full phone numbers on the air. Whow way, I
Speaker 1: love this me too. Don't you know what I don't
Speaker 1: like though? The order? Can we just do it out
Speaker 1: of order? And then if somebody wants to put it together,
Speaker 1: they can figure all that out. The nations are Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would still be amen. That would be stupid. It
Speaker 1: would be impossible, but it's possible. Maybe we do it
Speaker 1: over like three months because there's area code three numbers
Speaker 1: prefixed three numbers. That's six, the four it's ten numbers. Right, No, no,
Speaker 1: because once you get the once you get to like
Speaker 1: six numbers, you can just start guessing. Hey, that show, baby,
Speaker 1: don't lose through. I like it. I would do that,
Speaker 1: but I rejected it because I know some of you
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to date. Yes, rejected segments. All years. We
Speaker 1: gave out Lunchwocks's number number on number I know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're done with that, all right, rejected segments. Thank you, guys.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 1: A listener called into the show and asked Bobby how
Speaker 1: he got his start in radio and what the evolution
Speaker 1: of his career has looked like, and so he shared
Speaker 1: that story and a short version. For sure, it's not
Speaker 1: all the details, but it was a really cool story
Speaker 1: to hear, and definitely one if you've been thinking about
Speaker 1: making a new career job, or you're just getting started
Speaker 1: in your career, you'll definitely want to hear this number
Speaker 1: five on the phone Eddie in Oklahoma, Eddie, what's going on, Buddy?
Speaker 1: So I just kind of curious, man, how did you
Speaker 1: become in the radio visions? How did you get your
Speaker 1: chance to do radio? When I was seventeen years old,
Speaker 1: I begged for a job at the radio station in
Speaker 1: Hot Springs, Arkansas. Now, when I was nine eleven twelve,
Speaker 1: I call the racism every night and I'd be like,
Speaker 1: this is Bobby the Barbarian. That's what I settled on
Speaker 1: as my name, Bobby the Barbarian because wrestling the Barbarian
Speaker 1: was a big wrestler. I tried a bunch of names,
Speaker 1: and I would call and I knew. I knew from
Speaker 1: five years old I wanted to be on the radio
Speaker 1: on TV and I wanted to be a comedian. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it's like to not know, And now
Speaker 1: I feel bad. I just thought everybody knew, and then
Speaker 1: you find out later on most of your friends were like,
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to figure it out. But I've known
Speaker 1: since five years old what I wanted to do. And
Speaker 1: so because of that I always kept in a mind,
Speaker 1: so I kept working even in high school, like I
Speaker 1: wanted to go to college. No one of my family
Speaker 1: had ever been to college, so I knew I was
Speaker 1: gonna go to college. And I went and begged for
Speaker 1: a job at the radio station like fifteen minutes from
Speaker 1: my college. Now I still in high school. But they said, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: we'll hire you to run the Rick D's weekly countdown
Speaker 1: where you just take out a CD and replace it
Speaker 1: with another. But before my first job doing that and
Speaker 1: cleaning the station, they had to fire somebody for stealing
Speaker 1: station equipment because we used to do these DJ like
Speaker 1: sound and light shows and they'd have a bunch of
Speaker 1: CDs and you'd play a show for a bunch of
Speaker 1: fourteen year olds or to senior center. Yeah, but he
Speaker 1: was like stealing some of the stuff. So they fired him,
Speaker 1: and they're like, here, you're gonna go on the air now.
Speaker 1: At the time, I was seventeen, eighteen year old little
Speaker 1: Bobby Estol that's right. They were like, your name is
Speaker 1: gonna be Bobby Bones or Bobby Z. I was like,
Speaker 1: that's stupid, but okay, pick one. Oh oh, I'll take Bones.
Speaker 1: Weird weird name, like a pirate, right. So I go
Speaker 1: on the air and I was awful and depending where
Speaker 1: you talk too now still awful. But I go on
Speaker 1: the air and I'm like, kayl lazy overnights. I got on,
Speaker 1: said the wrong name, wrong station, did overnights on the weekends, weekends,
Speaker 1: grabbed nights pretty quick. You know. Finished school that was
Speaker 1: a priority because no one of my family had ever
Speaker 1: finished I mean even high school. But college finished, and
Speaker 1: moved to Little Rock and was there very briefly. Got
Speaker 1: into some trouble there, meaning we broke into another radio station,
Speaker 1: not like legal trouble, but it's about to be broken
Speaker 1: to another radio station. Took it over. It's in my
Speaker 1: first book called Airbones. Thought they were gonna fire me.
Speaker 1: But at another station it got named Jay Shannon had heard, well,
Speaker 1: this guy, like twenty two year old is like creating
Speaker 1: mayhem in Little Rock, Arkansas. So I was like, do
Speaker 1: you want to come to Austin. That'd never been Austin
Speaker 1: in my life. I just accepted the job. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm in, let's go. Drove down in the ice storm,
Speaker 1: took like twenty three hours to get there, lost half
Speaker 1: of my furniture that was already broken in cheap anyway.
Speaker 1: Did nights there for a bit, but the station was
Speaker 1: failing and they didn't have a morning show, and I
Speaker 1: got an offer to go to seat, but they were like,
Speaker 1: what do you want to do? What'll keep you? And
Speaker 1: I was like, let me do mornings. They're like, you're
Speaker 1: twenty two, but nobody does mornings. I'm like, well, the
Speaker 1: station sucks anyway, so who cares? And they said, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: good point. So went on in Austin as morning shows
Speaker 1: at twenty two got in trouble there. Lunchbox went to jail. Yeah,
Speaker 1: talking about that, I almost went to jail. I got
Speaker 1: sued a bunch for different things. Never anything crazy bad,
Speaker 1: but stupid. And in like three or four years we
Speaker 1: became really big in Austin, and then I started spending
Speaker 1: most of my paychecks and figuring out how to syndicate
Speaker 1: the show. So I spent all this money, we spread out.
Speaker 1: My contract was coming up again, They're like, what do
Speaker 1: you want to do? They said we can't. We can't
Speaker 1: take Ryan or Elvis's job. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: all right, let's they've never had a national syndicated country
Speaker 1: show out of Nashville. Let's go. And so that's like
Speaker 1: a movie where just smash cut. Oh yeah, yeah, real quick.
Speaker 1: Here we are ten years later, me and all my
Speaker 1: friends overnight. Yeah, it was just not easy. It's just
Speaker 1: that Lunchbox was working at Jason's Delhi when I met him.
Speaker 1: Amy was selling granted when I met her. Eddie was
Speaker 1: my local TV producer. When I met him, Mike d
Speaker 1: was an intern. He was like, hey, man, No, he's
Speaker 1: a MySpace messenger. Who's like, hey man, can I intern?
Speaker 1: Ray was poul Boy m hung out with what what?
Speaker 1: But Eddie, that's yet. Man, it's a pretty weird story,
Speaker 1: pretty organic way. We kind of, you know, we were
Speaker 1: never late the darling of the company. We kind of
Speaker 1: forced it to be. Are we the darling of the
Speaker 1: company now we're not? Still aren't. Yeah, but that's it, Eddie.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you asking that, man. Yeah, of course, it's funny,
Speaker 1: kind of walked down. That's cool to hear all that once,
Speaker 1: like in one setting. Yeah, I left out a lot. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: mostly bad stuff. It's the best bits of the week.
Speaker 1: With Morgan number two, we chose an Employee of the
Speaker 1: Month for the month of February on the show, everybody
Speaker 1: made their case for why they should be chosen, and
Speaker 1: somebody was somebody high then outstanding February among the rest,
Speaker 1: and they won, and they got to choose their winnings.
Speaker 1: And I'll just a little spoiler here, the winnings weren't
Speaker 1: so big. Number four. It's now time for the Employee
Speaker 1: of the Month award, where if you win, you spend
Speaker 1: the wheel for cas. Come on, so anyone last month

Speaker 1: The month of February has been one of the biggest
Speaker 1: months of my career. I started the month catting for
Speaker 1: my best friend Bobby Bones at Pebble Beach. Though we
Speaker 1: didn't play, we had lots of stories spring back for
Speaker 1: the show, and Bobby and I also played the Million
Speaker 1: Dollars Show where our listeners raised a lot of money
Speaker 1: for Saint Jude. It was awesome. Also, have you been
Speaker 1: to the Bobby Bones Show? Instagram and TikTok Paige, I
Speaker 1: suggest you do it right now, because I'm making some videos.
Speaker 1: They're really good. The videos are awesome. Well, I felt

Speaker 1: all that. Yeah, none of it was de play, some pandering,
Speaker 1: yeah to it. So I'm gonna it's not you, Eddi.

Speaker 1: reactions to sheer piercer ears. I had tips like how
Speaker 1: long do pee pets her? Tax right off? And cool
Speaker 1: aid and toilets, fun questions like which pool would you take?
Speaker 1: And I called Lunchbox out for his shadiness. I saw
Speaker 1: you say to click the button. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: what you were saying. I looked and I was like, ray,

Speaker 1: like I should be employee of the month because not
Speaker 1: only did my bagel bit go off on social media,
Speaker 1: but I've been competing and easy at trivia and people
Speaker 1: are proud of me. Our social media has been popping off,
Speaker 1: including my effort to grow our TikTok and we broke

Speaker 1: last one. It could be you. You could be employee
Speaker 1: of the month. You could win cash. Abby, go okay.
Speaker 1: I think I should win because I was given an
Speaker 1: awesome opportunity from Ray. Shout out to sing the national
Speaker 1: anthem at the hockey game, and I spent hours preparing
Speaker 1: and trying to improve so that I could sound my
Speaker 1: best and represent the show in a positive way. And
Speaker 1: I did all of this with a smile, despite people
Speaker 1: doubting me. So hopefully I made all of you in
Speaker 1: America proud. You didn't make us all proud of Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you. So she only did one thing and she
Speaker 1: took a week off. But Abby did he did have
Speaker 1: a week off. He didn't. It's a great point from

Speaker 1: it's oh my gosh, the winner of Employee of the
Speaker 1: Month for the month of February, which is last month, Raymond,
Speaker 1: here we go. He shared the story of his wife
Speaker 1: having an ambulance went off for like two days and
Speaker 1: how much it costs, and the weirdly, even angrily, where
Speaker 1: did email he sent to the restaurant things like you
Speaker 1: gave her food poison? He turns out that wasn't the case.
Speaker 1: He brought us a country music secret about artists who
Speaker 1: have knife fights. Hilarious. He's hosted games. I mean when
Speaker 1: he asked Eddie, when was it over for you? Talking
Speaker 1: about Eddie leaving sore losers. That was a funny one
Speaker 1: hilarious post show. So we're now we're zeroing in on
Speaker 1: one lines that he says he got abby the job
Speaker 1: singing at the Pretts game. So, Raymundo, you are the

Speaker 1: and that'll be printed at that printer right over there.
Speaker 1: Spend again times three, you might get three dollars here, Ray,
Speaker 1: all right, spend again times three. Do whatever this lands on.
Speaker 1: That's the amount of money you're getting. Yeah, please don't
Speaker 1: land on a hundred. I have to pay that out myself.
Speaker 1: I think our listeners think that the show gives us
Speaker 1: money to his crap. No, it's me. Let's spinebies. I
Speaker 1: hope he's got to cover the am lance bill. That's true.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, you got three dollars.
Speaker 1: Nice job, all employee the month. It's the best bits
Speaker 1: of the week with Morgan. Number two A huge thing
Speaker 1: that happened on the show this week. Bobby got win
Speaker 1: that lunchbox auditioned for another job, and he did, but
Speaker 1: spoiler alert, he didn't get it. He did bring in
Speaker 1: the audio to share with us, So like auditioned for
Speaker 1: another job, brought the audio in to his current job.
Speaker 1: Kind of weird. Number three I had heard a whisper
Speaker 1: the lunchbox was trying to get a different job. I
Speaker 1: didn't know what that meant, because we all do lots
Speaker 1: of stuff. But it turns out you were trying to
Speaker 1: get what position the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: back and I think it was like October maybe November.
Speaker 1: They put up a thing that they were looking for
Speaker 1: a PA announcer. So what'd you do? And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I mean I would love to be the announcer for
Speaker 1: a Major League baseball team. So I made a demo
Speaker 1: of me introducing players and I sent it off and
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything, and I was just like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: if I get it, like, then we go from there
Speaker 1: and maybe I have to move to Atlanta. Whatever would
Speaker 1: you have? I mean, I didn't know how much it paid.
Speaker 1: I have clips, and so this is these are clips,
Speaker 1: and this is these are real. These are real set
Speaker 1: that they didn't pay. Well, it was one long like
Speaker 1: it's a one clip, but I broke it into one
Speaker 1: so you can commentay it after each one if you want.
Speaker 1: All right, here's Lunchbox's first clip now batting for your
Speaker 1: Atlanta Praise number twenty three Michael not Jordan Oh even
Speaker 1: did it sound effects of baseball. It's not bad. That
Speaker 1: sounds great, really is It's yeah, it's nothing to make
Speaker 1: fun of here. It's a little derivative of some other
Speaker 1: PA announcers, you know, a little nickname doing that, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like doubling it out. It's actually you sounded good though.
Speaker 1: Here's clip two pitching tonight for your number thirty six
Speaker 1: and Nurson it's good. Fact I was Anderson class at
Speaker 1: ninety nine, but I didn't go there and Anderson on
Speaker 1: the mound, so we didn't need that last Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, this is really good. Hold on
Speaker 1: known fact about me? It's all back to him. Next
Speaker 1: one tonight your center field number thirty eight, Eli named
Speaker 1: under Eli Manning. What is he really named after Eli Manning?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just made it up. Yeah. One more,
Speaker 1: you're starting Pitcher tonight, number ninety nine, the year I
Speaker 1: graduated in high school. That is the one the only
Speaker 1: Spenser stride. Okay, the good and they're not so good.
Speaker 1: The good is you sound great? Just you doing that
Speaker 1: sounds really good. You can do that. You wouldn't have
Speaker 1: been able to move for the job. It pays like
Speaker 1: fifty grand. Oh so it's a good job, but you're
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to move and leave this job
Speaker 1: and make the same amount of money. Okay, so don't
Speaker 1: be too hurt because you probably wouldn't have left any
Speaker 1: wave and you got it. But it's just you know,
Speaker 1: you're making it about you. The PA announcer is really
Speaker 1: not doing a routine up there. I thought they would
Speaker 1: want something different, may I don't know, like putting funny nickname,
Speaker 1: but also you there was like five hundred people that applied.
Speaker 1: I have the guy won. Here's Kevin Krause, the new
Speaker 1: PA announcer for the team today. He's starting pitcher for
Speaker 1: your Atlanta Braves. This number ninety nine, Spencer Strider better.
Speaker 1: I think, well, he didn't had a bunch of sound
Speaker 1: effects and do a routine about his life growing up.
Speaker 1: That's true and what high school he would to? Who
Speaker 1: edit it for you? Because that's not your editing. That's good,
Speaker 1: no chance. Okay, your good jobs. I'm sorry you didn't
Speaker 1: get the job, but he's take away from it. You
Speaker 1: do sound really good. It's the best bits of the
Speaker 1: week with Morgan. Number two. Ashley McBride stopped by our
Speaker 1: show this week and it was so awesome to hear
Speaker 1: from her. She talked all about things that have been
Speaker 1: happening in her life recently, but also about her new
Speaker 1: song light On in the Kitchen, which is so good.
Speaker 1: When I first heard it, it was already connected with me.
Speaker 1: But then I got to hear her talk about it
Speaker 1: and hear her performance in the studio, and I'm just
Speaker 1: I can't get enough of this song. This is amazing.
Speaker 1: But everything that Ashley McBride does is amazing. She also
Speaker 1: is known as Lady Jukebox from back in the day
Speaker 1: when she used to play bars coming up being an artist,
Speaker 1: and so we had her play some covers. So be
Speaker 1: sure to listen to this interview, but then go to
Speaker 1: Bobbybones dot com and watch the full performance. You will
Speaker 1: not want to regret not watching this. I think that's
Speaker 1: outset number two. In case you didn't know. She recently

Speaker 1: deserve you in this studio or this format. Wow. And
Speaker 1: I haven't said we don't need to make her sing
Speaker 1: to me? You're like the best, And they were like no, no,
Speaker 1: Ashley's like, shoot, shot was happy to sing. I'm like,
Speaker 1: are you sure? Oh yeah, I'll be singing. If I
Speaker 1: wouldn't hear, I'd be singing it to hell. Well, just no,
Speaker 1: I was like, we don't have to make her sing.
Speaker 1: I'm just happy she's gonna come up and see us here,
Speaker 1: tickle to come chat. Well, I gotta step back from
Speaker 1: Arkansas'll take you. So what do you do when you
Speaker 1: go home? Was it a home thing or a show?
Speaker 1: I played in Fort Smith, which is where mom is,
Speaker 1: and I played all Garado. My dad's people were from
Speaker 1: around Elderato and Pine Bluff. Isn't it funny when you
Speaker 1: go home how many new relatives you didn't know you
Speaker 1: had until you're doing it. Literally met a new relative
Speaker 1: and the only way that because that she just went
Speaker 1: to the venue lady and was like, I'm Ashley's cousin.
Speaker 1: And they came and they're like, do you know this person?
Speaker 1: I said, that doesn't sound familiar to me. I don't
Speaker 1: know a lot about my dad's side of the family though.
Speaker 1: So they said, she's got a picture of you and
Speaker 1: your grandfather. And I said, is it grandaddy or is
Speaker 1: it Papa? Because then I do'n't know if they're lying.
Speaker 1: They said granddaddy, and then they brought me the picture
Speaker 1: and I was like, I wonder who that is, So
Speaker 1: I'll call Mama. We work it out that it's my
Speaker 1: grandmother's sister. So my great aunt's daughter. Well, they're stretching,
Speaker 1: yelling cousin at the door, hunt right, They're like, I'm
Speaker 1: her cousin. Here's a picture of people. But I got
Speaker 1: to hug a new cousin. Yeah, and now we had
Speaker 1: a picture of me and my granddad didn't have. See
Speaker 1: that's a net game though. An old picture that you
Speaker 1: didn't have your family's interesting to me. I'd like talk
Speaker 1: about your grandmother for a second, yeah, because she was
Speaker 1: very musical. Did she teach you how to like play harmonica?
Speaker 1: You're growing up and what'd you call her? Great? So,
Speaker 1: my great grandmother played everything. She played mandolin, harmonica, guitar,
Speaker 1: taught herself and her name, her last name was Mayhem,
Speaker 1: but they called her Granny Ham. Okay, I've spent my
Speaker 1: whole life trying to have a cool nickname like Ham.
Speaker 1: I thought Granny was gonna be the nickname. No Granny Ham,
Speaker 1: Like how goddle is? That makes me feel like some
Speaker 1: Jimmy Dedine breakfast, you know? Yeah? So she did she
Speaker 1: work with you on music or what? You know? He
Speaker 1: was gone before I was born. But then my grandmother,
Speaker 1: my mom's mom, was very musical, and she taught me.
Speaker 1: She may have taught me one chord. It might have
Speaker 1: been two, though, but I was always banging on something.
Speaker 1: And I've I've still got I've got Granny Ham's mandolin,
Speaker 1: and I've got Mimi's mandolin too. I'm still terrible at mandolin.
Speaker 1: But they were all real patient. Everybody could sing. When
Speaker 1: you were singing as a kid, where did you sing
Speaker 1: because it's not like you grew up in like a
Speaker 1: big place with lots of vineyards to go perform. And
Speaker 1: I was too shy to do it anyway, So I
Speaker 1: sang all around the house. And then when we were
Speaker 1: when I was growing up in Mammoth Spring, we lived
Speaker 1: really close to Hardy, Like that's where I went to
Speaker 1: high school, was over in Highland, and there was like
Speaker 1: an antique shop district down there, like canoe rentals and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, outfitters, and there was a gazebo down
Speaker 1: there and I would go play there. I would play
Speaker 1: at the dulcimer shop. There was a guy at the
Speaker 1: dulcimour shop. His name was Jeff Camp, and he gave
Speaker 1: me dulcimer lessons. It tried to give me mandolin lessons,
Speaker 1: but it turns out just I just needed to stick
Speaker 1: with guitar. Mandolin was before guitar. Once guitar came along,
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, this is what I like. Tell
Speaker 1: me about this song light on in the kitchen before
Speaker 1: you play it here. So the more we sat around
Speaker 1: and talked about problems we had solved at kitchen tables,
Speaker 1: it really pointed out to me how sacred at kitchen
Speaker 1: is because even now when we have get togethers and stuff,
Speaker 1: we all end up around the island in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: And I was thinking back college years, even just wild
Speaker 1: days I'd be over. I had a friend in Little Rock,
Speaker 1: and we'd get a six pack and a pack of
Speaker 1: Marbora lights and we'd light them off the gast of
Speaker 1: in the kitchen, and that's where we would solve the
Speaker 1: problems for that trip. We kind of discovered how important
Speaker 1: and sacred the kitchen space was and how minimal that
Speaker 1: effort was. And now we tell each other, I'll leaves
Speaker 1: a light on, and so it became this new way
Speaker 1: to make me tear up. You know, my aunt lives
Speaker 1: in Michigan, and she could text me and say, you're
Speaker 1: getting on stage, I'm going to bed. I'll leave the
Speaker 1: light on, which is just I'm thinking about you, and
Speaker 1: that just it's just songs give and give and give.
Speaker 1: And so we enjoyed writing the song, you know, me
Speaker 1: and Connie, we don't write nothing down until somebody cries anyway,
Speaker 1: And we were all sitting there just so full of
Speaker 1: love and thankful we were together and that we were
Speaker 1: healthy and we're tearing up and writing the song. And
Speaker 1: then the song gives this other thing to my family,
Speaker 1: I'm sure to their families as well. And Jesse did
Speaker 1: say she was writing this song in her from her perspective.
Speaker 1: She's giving advice to her teenage daughter. I feel like
Speaker 1: what she just said there, you could play some minor
Speaker 1: chords underneath it and just have her talking over it.
Speaker 1: And that's also a hit song, like that whole what
Speaker 1: she just said just strumps some sad sounding chords under it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's a song. It's well, I'm mean putting that out.
Speaker 1: I'm a still everything you just said. Okay, here is
Speaker 1: Ashley McBride performing for us. This is light on in
Speaker 1: the kitchen, he come on street. I told you we
Speaker 1: don't deserve it. We don't deserve that. And also that's
Speaker 1: what happens when you're not looking down sometimes when you
Speaker 1: close your eyes you put your finger just a complete
Speaker 1: wrong frit. You know, live is live. I don't care
Speaker 1: whatever happened. I had tears in my ears. I could
Speaker 1: hear it feels good. Yeah, that was awesome. That's that's
Speaker 1: a great song. That's it's a single too, right, Like
Speaker 1: this is the one year coming with It's crazy because
Speaker 1: this song was the first thing we write when we
Speaker 1: go to make this record proper record three. I know
Speaker 1: I wanted on there and then of all of the
Speaker 1: songs that I had chosen for a single. This one
Speaker 1: hadn't raised its hand for me, and so when we
Speaker 1: thought maybe this should be the single, and then somebody
Speaker 1: said that to me, I thought, really, okay, let's try that.
Speaker 1: And it just feels so good. It feels so magical.
Speaker 1: I was playing at Elderado the other day and when
Speaker 1: I said there's more to left and being skinny, all
Speaker 1: couple thousand of them just lost their minds, screaming right
Speaker 1: and shaking their heads. That feels so good. Okay, I
Speaker 1: have a couple of questions for you here. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: have come up through it, meaning you were playing bars,
Speaker 1: so yeah, and like Memphis, you know, we're living in
Speaker 1: you know, northeastern Arkansas, and so that's quite the scene.
Speaker 1: One legendary scene. Like a lot of great blues artists,
Speaker 1: rock artists have come up through Memphis and you're playing
Speaker 1: some those clubless bars and you start to move around
Speaker 1: a little bit. But did you have a time where
Speaker 1: you had to do like the Beatles back and they
Speaker 1: they'd learned every cover ever? Yeah, so you just had
Speaker 1: to was that something that early on you did? You're like,
Speaker 1: I have to every eighties and nineties country song ever. Well,
Speaker 1: it wasn't when in the Memphis scene, it wasn't more
Speaker 1: country songs. I had to learn. I was like, oh man,
Speaker 1: as amazing as my Pam Tillis is, it's not always
Speaker 1: going to fly here. So that became the Jackson five
Speaker 1: tea paint at one point Lady Gaga, which leads us
Speaker 1: into right, I absolutely love me, I'm gonna buy you
Speaker 1: kin and legit. People are still like play by even
Speaker 1: drank and um, and that became late learning to play
Speaker 1: like Lady Gaga songs and stuff like that became a
Speaker 1: portion of my bar show called Lady Jukebox, so people
Speaker 1: could just request a song from the jukebox. They could that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we would take at least a portion of the show
Speaker 1: and I would give you maybe a decade to choose
Speaker 1: from or whatever, and say here are the rules. If
Speaker 1: I know what, I have to attempt it. And if
Speaker 1: I don't know what, I can't attempt it. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: So they would be like, you know, brought me up
Speaker 1: inside the jukebox. I'd play chorus with that, and then
Speaker 1: um we could from there. They would be like fart
Speaker 1: onlines and you just try to find a way to
Speaker 1: get there. John Denver did you make a bunch of
Speaker 1: money doing that? Though? Since it was interactive with they
Speaker 1: tip you more if you played their song than if
Speaker 1: you're fine. Yeah, especially when you when somebody's like, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this guy wants me to play Jack and Diane and
Speaker 1: the one guy's like, i'll give you twenty bucks not
Speaker 1: too and I'm like, that's funny. I'll get out. There's
Speaker 1: the tip. That's funny. So if I were to say, um,
Speaker 1: strawberry wine, Oh yeah, Dina Carter, did you do a
Speaker 1: verse and chorus of that boy? She's going through the
Speaker 1: she's like publishing day two. I can even sing the
Speaker 1: rare rare like I mean, I don't think I guess Hey,
Speaker 1: I'll do that right, Yes, come on, Okay, my hearers
Speaker 1: are gonna know that I really screwed up that channel,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna know what a channel is too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's okay. We ain't no Paris over your ass, right,
Speaker 1: It's close enough for the kind of people I date, man,
Speaker 1: which I'm told is not a funny joke anymore. But
Speaker 1: that's fine. Okay, let me throw how about Neon Moon,
Speaker 1: h Brooks and Dunn. It would be hard to do
Speaker 1: it better. Than I wanted to play that out here
Speaker 1: then um, then Casey Muskraves did, she's putting on a capos.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing downloading the information. I just know it's out
Speaker 1: of like a D position and you get it to
Speaker 1: the chorus to whatever you want to do. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: I don't have any idea where to do that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: how does your brain? No? Because again I play it,
Speaker 1: but not like you. I do comedy, and I know,
Speaker 1: like twelve chords, right, they's solved. I think that's all
Speaker 1: there are, but at some of them I counterwise. But so,
Speaker 1: how are in your mind? Are you? Like? Okay, if
Speaker 1: I had to see here, what can you hear it
Speaker 1: ahead of you playing it? Or I would try to
Speaker 1: That's almost the key Ronnie sang it in and so
Speaker 1: wherever a guy sang it, you kind of want to
Speaker 1: just put it at least two full steps above that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I don't have a great Ronnie Dune impression. I
Speaker 1: was singing it. I was like, I could start singing
Speaker 1: this song as Terry Clark right now and it would
Speaker 1: be really convincing. I'm gonna give you one more. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go very difficult on this one. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: wide open spaces the chicks. Okay, you follow. I just
Speaker 1: had this whole thing in my brain. We're like Kelsey
Speaker 1: Ballerini just walked in the room. It's like Lauren Elena
Speaker 1: and we just wound up and kind of like this
Speaker 1: weird flash mob karaoke? Is that a thing? It was
Speaker 1: about to be? Oh my god, we just walk into
Speaker 1: any bar with an instrument and just dood flash mob karaokeing.
Speaker 1: They don't even know. Come on in a restaurant. It's like,
Speaker 1: now Mary comes to your table. Yeah yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean but you might not. That's true. Okay, Now I
Speaker 1: have a thing I want to do. Yeah, now we're here,
Speaker 1: flash will have karaoke? Sounds great? Um, Oh, we gotta
Speaker 1: hit up. We gotta hit the course. You know I
Speaker 1: did the course. Oh yeah, that's so good. Ashley McBride
Speaker 1: is here. When you won the Grammy, I remember that?
Speaker 1: Did they tell you that I didn't watch the show
Speaker 1: because I'd leave? I did I want the pre Then
Speaker 1: I left? Right? You go a lot to do that
Speaker 1: at home? Well no, then I had to give you
Speaker 1: the show the next morning. Yeah. Here, so I flew,
Speaker 1: but I didn't watch the show was that what part
Speaker 1: of the show was it pre was in the pretaeils. Okay,
Speaker 1: how did that happen? How do you know you won? Well,
Speaker 1: they do it just like the regular Grammars, and there's
Speaker 1: like performances, and there's a band and really there's a
Speaker 1: horn section I love no Wow, and there's cameras and
Speaker 1: everything like he goes around on the shows. It on
Speaker 1: the JumboTron, and it's a really long walk from anywhere
Speaker 1: you are to that stage. And I was seated with
Speaker 1: my sister and some some members of my team, and
Speaker 1: I didn't know that our category was being read at
Speaker 1: the time because I'm asking my sister Aubrey, should you
Speaker 1: should I give you my clutch or should I just
Speaker 1: like put it in this chair? Um? And then I
Speaker 1: heard them say Carly Pierce. I thought maybe if if
Speaker 1: we had won in that category, that they would say
Speaker 1: the song first. Never wanted to be that girl, because
Speaker 1: that's what's winning here, it's the song. But they said
Speaker 1: Carly Pearson Ashley McBride never wanted to be that girl.
Speaker 1: And I just started shouting expletives because I'm sure you
Speaker 1: saw the gown and I just I would love for
Speaker 1: anyone to have as much trust in anything as I
Speaker 1: had in that gown that day. Well, it was. It
Speaker 1: was a long walk, and then I thought about jogging.
Speaker 1: I got down to the end of the aisle and
Speaker 1: I saw Carly and I stuck my hand out like
Speaker 1: we're gonna Laverne and Shirley up the stairs and um,
Speaker 1: and then I realized I was walking a little bit
Speaker 1: too quick a pace because the dress couldn't keep all
Speaker 1: the way. Trust. I was losing a little bit. My
Speaker 1: faith was questioned, was tested. Okay, look light On in
Speaker 1: the Kitchen is the new song from Ashley. Um, we
Speaker 1: love it. I did say on Eve when I was
Speaker 1: that night, because I talked to you and Brandy Carlisle.
Speaker 1: You're the only two on my amount Rushmore vocalists. It
Speaker 1: was all your nobody else. We don't have anybody else.
Speaker 1: Thank you. You and Brandy Carlisle. She's so wonderful. There's
Speaker 1: not anything she can't sing. We feel the same about you,
Speaker 1: right guys, and she too. Yes, So there's that in
Speaker 1: the Brandy into the flash mob karaoke thing. Come on, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like it's going to be a
Speaker 1: expensive tee somebody's okay. Um Ashley McBride dot com to
Speaker 1: see all the solo dates and fairs and festivals and
Speaker 1: out with Eric Church and Jelly Roll. Amy she she's
Speaker 1: just awesome. Thank you for coming in. We really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: My pleasure. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 1: Number two, huge segment on this show this week, all
Speaker 1: of the parents and kids alike, we're coming out to
Speaker 1: share their thoughts. On this one. Amy shared that her
Speaker 1: daughter got a piercing without telling her, And I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna tell you any more than that because I want
Speaker 1: you to hear and give your opinions for yourself. But
Speaker 1: I do believe Amy handled it in the best way
Speaker 1: she could. Number one, Amy, what's up with you? Well,
Speaker 1: you mean by the fact that I had to discipline
Speaker 1: my fifteen year old daughter? What happened? She doesn't ever
Speaker 1: get in trouble and she's been asking for a fourth
Speaker 1: year piercing in each year for a while, which here's
Speaker 1: the thing she's between and she already has three on
Speaker 1: each side. And I feel like we've got a lot. Yes,
Speaker 1: it is okay for fifteen. Absolutely, I didn't have multiple
Speaker 1: piercings until I can't compare you to her. I know
Speaker 1: you can't compare you to her because you hate it
Speaker 1: when your mom did that to you, Like well when
Speaker 1: I was a kid. You can't. Oh, but I hear you. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: So I feel as though we've asked her to please
Speaker 1: be patient with each one. We've sort of when she's
Speaker 1: on her thirteenth birthday, second hall fourteenth birthday, and then
Speaker 1: you know, we built up from there, and I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's just wait. You're turning sixteen soon. She should respect that.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, don't compare you to her, but you
Speaker 1: can have any rules you want. Also, we're trying to
Speaker 1: like the reason why we were saying no too. We
Speaker 1: have a reason. It's patience. Let's practice it, love it,
Speaker 1: because she doesn't. Once she gets her mind fixated on something,
Speaker 1: it's all she can think about. So we're working through that.
Speaker 1: And she has had her hair down for like all
Speaker 1: me and then her friend came over and braided it
Speaker 1: and put it in a ponytail. And we're driving in
Speaker 1: the car and I look over and I noticed a
Speaker 1: fourth piercing, and I said, are those magnets? Because you
Speaker 1: did they make these magnet earrings and she just stops
Speaker 1: and she goes no, and she's got her friends in
Speaker 1: the back seat, three friends in the back, and I
Speaker 1: slam on the brakes and pull over her. We won't
Speaker 1: fall embarrassing. No oh no, no, Amy, You did slam
Speaker 1: on the brake with her friend. You even slam on
Speaker 1: the breaks, you and her. That sucks. That's it wasn't dangerous.
Speaker 1: I want to clarify that we were driving because you
Speaker 1: were mad. We're just you just humiliated or go ahead,
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't it just that I was shocked
Speaker 1: because she is a respectful kid, like she does well
Speaker 1: like we give her a lot of freedom because of that,
Speaker 1: and I just was so disappointed. Did you see fire
Speaker 1: in your eyes? No? I just couldn't believe it because
Speaker 1: I wanted to know. I wanted to know who, when,
Speaker 1: and how you paid for it, and so I pulled
Speaker 1: over to get that information. And I didn't want to
Speaker 1: be in The backs are so wide, you know that?
Speaker 1: Oh what did that? Why did you take her out
Speaker 1: of the car to talk her to her? In the car? Well?
Speaker 1: One of the who's in the back is who did it? Oh?
Speaker 1: I love this child and she's like she's like a daughter.
Speaker 1: I mean, I would care for her like she's a
Speaker 1: daughter when she's at my house because they're VFF. So anyway,
Speaker 1: nobody's in trouble. It's not bad. I mean I had
Speaker 1: to the discipline the consequences from it that she had
Speaker 1: to take it out because I knew that would hurt
Speaker 1: her enough because she's wanted it, and you have to
Speaker 1: take it out and let's be patient, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to grow in um and then you have to
Speaker 1: come up because trust has been lost, especially because she
Speaker 1: covered it up with her hair for a week. And
Speaker 1: then she couldn't answer me. I said who, when? How?
Speaker 1: And and she was just silent. She was like and
Speaker 1: then and then her friend in the back said, Sammy,
Speaker 1: I did it wow? And I said okay. And I
Speaker 1: said and did you know that she wasn't she was
Speaker 1: supposed to wait? And she said no, and I believe her,
Speaker 1: Like the friend has a piercing thing, um so, and
Speaker 1: I said, does anybody worried about this getting infected? And
Speaker 1: still she was like, well, my left one does kind
Speaker 1: of hurt. And I'm like okay. So and then luckily
Speaker 1: the other two girls that are in the back. I said,
Speaker 1: how many piercings do y'all have? And they say one?
Speaker 1: And I said, would your parents get upset if you
Speaker 1: just randomly pierced a second hole? And they're like, yes, ma'am,
Speaker 1: Like they would get so mad, we would be in
Speaker 1: so much trouble. So they kind of thought it was
Speaker 1: cool that she had three. They were scared of you
Speaker 1: because you slammed on the brakes with everybody in the car.
Speaker 1: I didn't slam it in a dangerous way, I know,
Speaker 1: but you did pull the car over with all the
Speaker 1: kids in there. Yeah, because I'm good for you. I
Speaker 1: was so shocked. Yeah. Yeah, And that that's the word
Speaker 1: I used. And then I used it because I was.
Speaker 1: I was taking them to the mall to hang out.
Speaker 1: I didn't detour the trip around. No, and I didn't
Speaker 1: make her take them out. In that moment, I said, look,
Speaker 1: y'all have a fun day plan at the mall. We're
Speaker 1: still going to go. So we go to the mall,
Speaker 1: but we still have about a ten minute drive. So
Speaker 1: I use this as a time to sort of explain
Speaker 1: myself and say, you know, you know, when when parents,
Speaker 1: when we have when we're saying no, we have a reason.
Speaker 1: It's because we love y'all. We care about you. Ye
Speaker 1: know how that lands though, Yeah, I hope that maybe
Speaker 1: they're here understand that's what we felt. That's what they feel. No,
Speaker 1: I think I even said, and look, I get it.
Speaker 1: I was it. I get it. She turned her chair backwards.
Speaker 1: It says on it listen, I'm cool like you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I am cool. So well, I'm sorry, but also good
Speaker 1: for you. That's strong. Oh yeah, so consequences. Earrings came out.
Speaker 1: They're already which by the time we went up to
Speaker 1: have the talk to sit her down and say, hey,
Speaker 1: we need you to remove them, she should have made
Speaker 1: remove another one too, and go to two. Well, the
Speaker 1: other ones won't grow it. They're already there. Hey that
Speaker 1: shows baby. So they just sit there. So we go
Speaker 1: up and we're thinking, oh gosh, you're so nervous to
Speaker 1: say take it out. We say take it out. She goes,
Speaker 1: I already did, and they were gone. And then we said,
Speaker 1: and now you have to lead the family. Come up
Speaker 1: google it, do your research, come up with a trust exercise,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna lead the whole family, including including your brother,
Speaker 1: like in a trust X or side. So we can
Speaker 1: start building that trust up, because that's what's happened here
Speaker 1: is trust has been broken, and we trust you with everything.
Speaker 1: We gasp. We like it. A strong mom. Strong mom? Yeah,
Speaker 1: good drawn mom, sean mom like that? Good for you. Thanks,
Speaker 1: I've been so embarrassed for her. Oh yeah, she'll have that.
Speaker 1: She'll be telling that in therapy. Who your daughter? No.
Speaker 1: I slammed on the brakes with my friends in the car.
Speaker 1: It made me rip out my rings, but then I
Speaker 1: came off as cool. I still did. I feel like
Speaker 1: I was relatable? Oh, totally down to earth. Whatever. It's
