Speaker 1: the Women of IRA Country, and I have featured one, two, three, four,
Speaker 1: five six your song seven different, seven different songs of yours, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm just a big fan of your body of work,
Speaker 1: and so thanks to be able to have you here, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm very excited that you're here today. I'm very excited.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've gotten to do a lot of cool things,
Speaker 1: but I think my hometown won't consider me making it
Speaker 1: until I've played the Bobby Bones Show. So this is
Speaker 1: a big day. And what is your hometown Shoeville, Iowa?
Speaker 1: And what isn't if I were to drive into shoe Eville,
Speaker 1: if I were to drive into Shoeyville, like, what do
Speaker 1: I see? Cornfields? Just driving through cornfields? We got two
Speaker 1: bars in a church in Shoeville. Life's about balance. We
Speaker 1: got to stop sign. The town's mad because we finally
Speaker 1: got a stoplight. So it's pretty small town. So you
Speaker 1: have one stoplight. We have one stoplight now congratulations. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we do not have a stoplight where I'm from. But
Speaker 1: we have a dollar general now love it, which is
Speaker 1: about the same. You know, when you weigh them out,
Speaker 1: they're both like what we got a cell phone tower
Speaker 1: about six years ago. Nice. Until about six years ago,
Speaker 1: you could drive into Mountain Pine, Arkansas and you could
Speaker 1: not use your cell phone. That is wild and shoe
Speaker 1: you've had that forever. We've had self servants. So I'm
Speaker 1: imagining lots of farms. That corn is such a big
Speaker 1: part of the economic economy of Shoeyville. Is that what
Speaker 1: everybody does there? Yeah? I mean my dad, you know,
Speaker 1: has worked at the corn processing plant. Adm Um, He's
Speaker 1: worked there his whole life. He's now he grows corn.
Speaker 1: He's a corn crop farmer, corn beans. It's a big
Speaker 1: part of Iowa for sure. Do you being not just exposed,
Speaker 1: but I mean living in corn? Do you like corn everything?
Speaker 1: Or do you hate corn everything? I love corn everything.
Speaker 1: She has to say that come for her mafia comes
Speaker 1: and gets there like everything. Yeah. Um, you know what's
Speaker 1: really cool about you? And you're gonna perform in a second,
Speaker 1: and I'm excited for audience to hear this. But you know,
Speaker 1: you are such a massive fan of traditional country music
Speaker 1: and you have written songs for Martina McBride and Alan Jackson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, aside from your career now which you are
Speaker 1: so respected and you're so good, But how cool is
Speaker 1: it to be able to do that for heroes of yours?
Speaker 1: It's insane. I mean I grew up idolizing them and
Speaker 1: just studying Alan Jackson's body of work. I mean, I
Speaker 1: admire him so much as a songwriter too. So to
Speaker 1: have him, you know, hear one of my songs and
Speaker 1: think it's worthy enough to be on a record of
Speaker 1: his is a huge honor. And he's just been incredibly
Speaker 1: gracious and cool to me. So it's been really cool.
Speaker 1: Today's International Women's Day, and I wanted to bring in
Speaker 1: some women that I really think said a great example
Speaker 1: for other women. That's why you're here today, because I
Speaker 1: think you have your own original path that you've been
Speaker 1: kicking down and you're going down and regardless of what
Speaker 1: happens commercially, and now you're getting that, which is cool.
Speaker 1: But you've always just done your own thing and let
Speaker 1: it come to you, and I think that is that's
Speaker 1: I really respect that. But I'll ask you now, who,
Speaker 1: what women do you see out there? You look too,
Speaker 1: and you're like, you know, they did their thing that
Speaker 1: kind of allows me to do mine. I mean, gosh,
Speaker 1: a lot of the females in the nineties, you know,
Speaker 1: Tricia Martina, my friend Britney Spencer right now is just
Speaker 1: blazing her own trail and it's been really cool to
Speaker 1: watch her grow, you know, Miranda. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of the females in the genre, I think it's been
Speaker 1: you know, everyone always kind of tells us it's a
Speaker 1: harder road, but I see so many girls out there
Speaker 1: just you know, buckling up, rolling their sleeves up and
Speaker 1: doing the work and making their music. Get out there
Speaker 1: to people no matter what. So I'm kind of inspired
Speaker 1: by all of the chicks right now in the format.
Speaker 1: Now you have a banjo, yeah, because that's not if
Speaker 1: I'm looking, that is not a ganjo. It's not a ganjo.
Speaker 1: You're not opposing. And I'm very, very basic banjo player.
Speaker 1: At this point, I'm going to be doing some banjo lessons.
Speaker 1: But I taught myself this little part to the song
Speaker 1: that we're about to perform, and I really just have
Speaker 1: fun playing it, So don't don't judge my banjo's skills.
Speaker 1: I would say a simple banjo is better than a
Speaker 1: poser a ganjo. Who's great because a ganjo is six
Speaker 1: strings and you played like a guitar and everybody's like, oh,
Speaker 1: they play the banjo, like no, they're playing guitar, and
Speaker 1: I think this sounds like a banjo. But Haley has
Speaker 1: four strings. Well, I play banjo probably like a guitar player,
Speaker 1: and I'm barely that. So yeah, she's not giving herself
Speaker 1: an until here, and I'm like, you're right, but what
Speaker 1: song are you gonna play for Haley? We're gonna play
Speaker 1: a new single off my latest record, which is coming
Speaker 1: out three eighteen. This is called everything she ain't. All right,
Speaker 1: Here we go, Haley Witters on The Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 1: Shit a peach ya ought to be picking she ain't.
Speaker 1: The cup of tea ya ought to be seven. She
Speaker 1: treats you lack it, broke, lacking, need fixing. You ain't
Speaker 1: getting nothing back from all that you're given. If you're
Speaker 1: good with who you kissing, say lovey, But I can
Speaker 1: show you what you're missing. Yeah, boy, I can be
Speaker 1: the whiskey in your soda, the Limdi Corona shot gunning
Speaker 1: or Tacoma the ad Ta Hank. She's got a little
Speaker 1: style in a Hollywood smile, but believed. Honey good is
Speaker 1: money in the bank. I'm everything she is and everything
Speaker 1: she ain't. Yeah, everything she is and everything she ain't.
Speaker 1: I never know if you're gonna go back into something.
Speaker 1: Then you guys wanted were like okay. Sometimes people will
Speaker 1: trick us and they'll stop and then we'll go, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. We're like radiance. Yeah, Haleywood, great job, Haley,

Speaker 1: you play? Do you do an hour? We do like
Speaker 1: ninety minutes on the Hartland tour, don't My manager is
Speaker 1: looking at me, why is that bad? Well, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's great. It's great, it's great. Ninety minutes, it's great.
Speaker 1: We've been convincing me something right now. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we've been. We've been very fortunate to get to open
Speaker 1: for Luke Hombs, Mary Morris Midland. We're out with Midland,
Speaker 1: and you know, you get like thirty minutes for something
Speaker 1: like that. So it's been really nice to get a
Speaker 1: full ninety minutes to get to really dig into the
Speaker 1: record and get to you know, sing those songs for
Speaker 1: the fans. So it's been cool. And the record comes
Speaker 1: out this month three eighteen. Yeah, raced and so hope
Speaker 1: you guys check that out. Haley Witters is here. I
Speaker 1: think hopefully this will inspire to go follow her on
Speaker 1: social media, support her if she comes to your town.

Speaker 1: the week. With Morgan number two a right moments away
Speaker 1: from Tanil Towns. You may know her for the song
Speaker 1: Jersey on the Wall. Oh. That song was about a
Speaker 1: kid that had died at a school, and then she
Speaker 1: wrote a song because she went to the gym and
Speaker 1: saw that it hanging like that. She was like, what happened?
Speaker 1: They told the story, then she wrote the question like
Speaker 1: if I ever get to heaven, this is what I
Speaker 1: want to ask. So that song so good and then
Speaker 1: you might know her for somebody's daughter. All right, and
Speaker 1: she's here. Now let's go on the Bobby Bones Show.
Speaker 1: Now to Neil Towns. So it's International Women's Day, and
Speaker 1: I thought, let me invite up, you know, another one
Speaker 1: of the women that I expect, and I feel like
Speaker 1: it's a great role model for young girls and just
Speaker 1: so many things. And to Neil Towns is here. To Neil, hey,
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Great to see. I was watching
Speaker 1: it good to see you one of your Instagram videos
Speaker 1: and I think it looked like you were practicing in
Speaker 1: the bathroom, like a public bathroom. Yeah, like you and
Speaker 1: all that your band were out. Oh yeah, what what
Speaker 1: was happening there? See? The bathrooms are always such an adventure.
Speaker 1: Every time we show up at a venue, it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what are the showers going to be like today? What's
Speaker 1: the bathroom? And we were opening for Reba and there
Speaker 1: was such great refurben there. I was like, come on, guys,
Speaker 1: we need to we need to run some stuff in
Speaker 1: the bathroom. So that was our moment. And it was
Speaker 1: it smelling. I mean, it's fine, it was fine. It
Speaker 1: was fine. It was a nice smelling bathroom. They probably
Speaker 1: cleaned it before you got there. I appreciated that. I
Speaker 1: always do. You know, that's an extra special treatment. It's
Speaker 1: so important to Tenil to give back. She's raised over
Speaker 1: two million dollars for Big Hearts for Big Kids, which
Speaker 1: is a charity Tennil started when she was just fifteen
Speaker 1: years old, which is wild because now you're like sixteen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. I mean it's been so long. Tell me
Speaker 1: about Big Hearts for Big Kids. Okay. So it's this
Speaker 1: concert fundraiser we do up in my hometown and Graham Ferry,
Speaker 1: Alberta for a local youth shelter. They help kids ages
Speaker 1: eleven to seventeen struggling with homelessness, and we've been able
Speaker 1: to kind of bring the whole community together to keep
Speaker 1: the doors open over the past eleven years. Yes, something else,
Speaker 1: and I know I mentioned it to you every single time,
Speaker 1: but I've always so moved when I hit it again
Speaker 1: is and one of the reasons I thought about you
Speaker 1: for International Women's Day is you did a version of
Speaker 1: one of your songs with a local Girl Scout troop
Speaker 1: of girls that are homeless for the most part. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: will you tell the audience kind of what you did there? Yeah.
Speaker 1: So we did this version of Somebody's Daughter with the
Speaker 1: Girl Scouts Troop six thousand of Middle Tennessee. And these
Speaker 1: are all girls without permanent house. And so I heard
Speaker 1: about this troop. There's one in New York, one in Nashville,
Speaker 1: and I was like, we need to I would love
Speaker 1: to get to hang out with these girls. So we
Speaker 1: helped them earn their musician badge, which I've never been
Speaker 1: a part of handing out a Girl Scout badge before.
Speaker 1: That was really cool and they all came into the
Speaker 1: studio and sang on it and did some snoffing and
Speaker 1: clapping and literally the best experience I've ever had in
Speaker 1: the studio. It was so fun. Isn't that so cool? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I love it, And you can start. I mean I
Speaker 1: heard it before. I guess I knew about it because
Speaker 1: I just talk to your music and I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: post something new today, Well you post on the news today.
Speaker 1: Something popped up and it was somebody's daughter, but it
Speaker 1: was the version with the girl scouts. Yeah, they're never
Speaker 1: going to forget that. These all I crazy. It was
Speaker 1: so special to Neil Towns is with us, and again,
Speaker 1: I keep up with you through social media for the
Speaker 1: most part. I consider us friends me too, but like
Speaker 1: friends that travel a lot, you keep up with them
Speaker 1: a lot. On right, I'm just looking at Instagram and stuff,
Speaker 1: and I saw a picture where they gave you a
Speaker 1: big plaque like gold and platinum single. It was Matt,
Speaker 1: where do you put that massive plaqueum house? I don't
Speaker 1: actually know. I'm in like a little two bedroom town
Speaker 1: house and I'm not sure what to do with it,
Speaker 1: but I am so excited to have it. So cool.
Speaker 1: It looks like the sides of a door. It really,
Speaker 1: it's massive, and it's you know, got my face on it,
Speaker 1: which is very cool and also strange. I feel like
Speaker 1: to maybe have in my house. But it means the
Speaker 1: most to know people have listened to these songs enough
Speaker 1: times to add up to whatever that plaque says. It's
Speaker 1: so crazy, you know, today being International Women's Day, Like,
Speaker 1: who were the female influences in your life that you
Speaker 1: go man without them? I don't know if I would
Speaker 1: be here now. Honestly, all of the women in my
Speaker 1: family are such strong, fierce, independent, just forces of nature.
Speaker 1: My great grandmother, my my Mari Willette, my my grandmother,
Speaker 1: my mom, all of them were just like no filters,
Speaker 1: full of love, wonderful people. And we drove around listening
Speaker 1: to so many female voices. I don't think I'd be
Speaker 1: playing music if it weren't for you know, the obsessive
Speaker 1: amounts of Shania Twain that I sang along too, and
Speaker 1: writing in my grandparents motor home, listening to a Code
Speaker 1: of Many Colors Dolly Parton over and over. It's like
Speaker 1: so many of those voices definitely impacted the way that
Speaker 1: I felt like I saw the world and saw a
Speaker 1: place that I could do music too. He wrote this
Speaker 1: song When's It Going to Happen? And I feel, as
Speaker 1: being a fan of your music, I feel like this
Speaker 1: is the most personal and artist always says my most
Speaker 1: personal song, and I'm like, I stop saying that crowd
Speaker 1: the eighth time, and I feel like this is the
Speaker 1: most personal song about you. Were like introspectively YouTube this
Speaker 1: song and did what was happening in your heart and mind? Yes, Elizab,
Speaker 1: which is a little terrifying, but it is. I like
Speaker 1: to be the storyteller and kind of write songs from
Speaker 1: the other third view perspective. But this one is very
Speaker 1: much about internal internal feelings, this season of my life
Speaker 1: where my mailbox is full of wedding invitations of all
Speaker 1: my friends getting married, and I kind of wanted to
Speaker 1: write a song about what it feels like to be
Speaker 1: on the other side of that sometimes. So here is
Speaker 1: Daniel Towns with her song When's It Gonna Happen? Never
Speaker 1: been good at expectations. I think I expect too much.
Speaker 1: But if it's any consolation, well I still believe in love.
Speaker 1: You know I got your invitation. Can't wave ruse, Mary Beach,
Speaker 1: it is that should tell you he's inn coming. There's
Speaker 1: no plus one. It's just me. Oh and I'll sure
Speaker 1: up being a dress with a smile, Island. I couldn't
Speaker 1: be happier for you. Sometimes I feel like come the
Speaker 1: last one standing, all a girl. All my friends are
Speaker 1: falling in love. I'm scared to death falling up empty handed.
Speaker 1: Can't be the only one thinking wensick Gonnana happened happened
Speaker 1: to me? And no it's supposed to happen naturally, wensyck
Speaker 1: gonna happen? Oh to me? Who? Yeah, yeah, ain't no
Speaker 1: town back girl? Who did you write that with? Okay?
Speaker 1: I wrote this with my friends Stephen Rabel and Steph
Speaker 1: Jones over Zoom, who had never met in person before,
Speaker 1: but we've written like fifteen or so songs together at
Speaker 1: this point. I'm such big fans of both of them.
Speaker 1: Was that like, okay, guys, I want to go extremely
Speaker 1: internal here. Not honestly, it was going, Okay, what should
Speaker 1: we write a song about today? And I was like
Speaker 1: I literally was looking at the stack of mail on
Speaker 1: my counter and this was in the middle of the
Speaker 1: pandemic of definitely feeling pretty lonely and going I can't
Speaker 1: be the only one feeling this way, Like what if
Speaker 1: we wrote a song just about that? So yeah, it
Speaker 1: was every line that we wrote. I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: that's this is real. But okay, yep, we're putting this
Speaker 1: in the song. And then we finished it and I
Speaker 1: was like, dang it, I like this. This means like
Speaker 1: now we have to record it. We have to record it.
Speaker 1: It's so good. Thank you, You're so good. You guys
Speaker 1: followed to Neil Towns, Towns t ow Anys and how
Speaker 1: the tour go. It was awesome. Yeah, it was so fun.
Speaker 1: People showed up, people came that they came and what
Speaker 1: they knew the music, We sang the songs together. It
Speaker 1: was such a dream. I'm super fun for you. Thank
Speaker 1: you for coming in today to play. Thank you for
Speaker 1: having me. Bobby's so great to see everybody. Good to
Speaker 1: be here, Tanil Towns and listen. If you're looking for
Speaker 1: a woman were International Women's Day to be like? That
Speaker 1: is my inspiration. I don't think till not to date guys.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying like, oh no, I was like, no happening.
Speaker 1: Now this is when it's happened now, looking for someone
Speaker 1: to go like, you know, I'm only looking for someone
Speaker 1: to inspire me for I mean, Tenniel's a good one.
Speaker 1: You're a good one. Thanks Bobby. All right, there she
Speaker 1: has Tenniel Towns. It's the best bits of the week,
Speaker 1: with Morgan number two coming in at number six. I
Speaker 1: watched Back to the Future for the first time, and
Speaker 1: y'all are digging these old school movie TV show reviews,
Speaker 1: so I had to throw this in here. Here it
Speaker 1: is let me know if you like my review. Maybe
Speaker 1: you don't, maybe it was too controversial. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Number six. So we told Morgan number two twenty eight
Speaker 1: to go watch Back to the Future because she had
Speaker 1: never seen it and we had an unsuccessful Seinfeld experiment.
Speaker 1: She watched Seinfeld and she was like, yes, it's not
Speaker 1: that funny anymore. Fair. I just don't think there's any
Speaker 1: way to miss with Michael J. Foxon Back to the Future.
Speaker 1: Hom on, So you watched it? How I had to
Speaker 1: rent it on Amazon? Okay, it wasn't anywhere else to watch,
Speaker 1: like three bucks or something. Yeah, you to reimburse you?
Speaker 1: Are you cool? No, I'm good. I'm good. If I
Speaker 1: hated it, I get pulled into HR because I'm making
Speaker 1: people pay for content. Yeah, she can do that on
Speaker 1: an expense report, right, Yeah, Okay, I guess So you
Speaker 1: watched Back to the Future. Is it was it long?
Speaker 1: It's an hour or like seventeen minutes. That's the greatest movie.
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize it about the perfect movie link.
Speaker 1: That's cool, high expectations. What think? Okay? Well, in my
Speaker 1: past spoiler part, like everybody, is it old enough that
Speaker 1: I can spoil something? That's a good question to ask.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes. And we're also warning people that
Speaker 1: are back to the future spoiler is coming here. Wow.
Speaker 1: So when I watched it listen, I was really into it.
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. But something kept bothering me. There's
Speaker 1: a little bit of incest that happens during the show
Speaker 1: with the mom and him, and it took me a
Speaker 1: while to get over it. I was like, he just
Speaker 1: kissed his mom, like, I know, he's not she doesn't
Speaker 1: know and whatever, but he didn't quite kiss his mom.
Speaker 1: She kissed him. He didn't want that. She also didn't
Speaker 1: know it was her son comes in the past. Yes,
Speaker 1: but he knew it was coming. He knew that she
Speaker 1: had the hots for him. He kept saying it, so
Speaker 1: that part, like it irks me a little bit, but
Speaker 1: I got over it because it was so good. All right,
Speaker 1: what do you rate Back to the Future? All right? Well,
Speaker 1: m I would give it four out of five delireans.
Speaker 1: It's good, solid rating for something so old. And I
Speaker 1: will say that at the end, as soon as they're like,
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're going we don't need any and
Speaker 1: he makes the big line, I was like, I want
Speaker 1: to watch the sego. Back to the Future came out
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty five, Like I wasn't even old enough
Speaker 1: to really watch it and understand it. Then I guess
Speaker 1: I watched you watch it years later. But Back the
Speaker 1: Future gets a thumbs out, Seinfeld gets it thumbs down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you go. If you ever watch Back to the
Speaker 1: Future too, just let us know. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: sign that to you, but I'm going to sign something
Speaker 1: else to you. And you have two weeks, Okay, if
Speaker 1: you want to take the challenge, have if you've seen it, though,
Speaker 1: don't have you ever seen The Karate Kid the original.
Speaker 1: I want to say that I've seen parts, but I
Speaker 1: have not seen it all the way through. Now, okay,
Speaker 1: your next challenge, if you choose to accept it, is
Speaker 1: the Karate Kid from nineteen eighty four. Oh, we're even
Speaker 1: going back one more. Okay, yeah, I'll accept it. Okay,
Speaker 1: two from today, Mike will check weather Morgan number two
Speaker 1: will watch the Karate Kid. What's the Karate Kids review
Speaker 1: on Rotten Tomatoes. It's got to be the most right
Speaker 1: eighty nine? Okay, we was Back to the Future review. Okay,

Speaker 1: I'm not gonna live forever. Wow, this is the place
Speaker 1: for you. It's four thousand square feet floor to ceiling

Speaker 1: I was looking at the pictures online, I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I want that place. I want it dead or alive.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I got to be in there. Imagine this.
Speaker 1: You open up the doors, you come right out, and
Speaker 1: there's the city surrounding you. The best part is, here's
Speaker 1: the best part of it. My wife, she tells me,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you're not romantic. Basically, she says, you
Speaker 1: give love a bad name. Well guess what when I
Speaker 1: surprised her with this, Uh, that's gonna change. Yeah, I

Speaker 1: and you're waights in my time. Have a good day.
Speaker 1: That's a good one. That's a nice one. I guess.
Speaker 1: The thing that strikes me is you could just say
Speaker 1: those things normally, like you know when you give love
Speaker 1: a bad name, but it's almost like you're reading it,
Speaker 1: you're talking normal. Then you're like, and you give love
Speaker 1: a bad name? You wrote those down, y, I wrote
Speaker 1: those because I gotta remember them. Yeah, that's good though.
Speaker 1: Any luck, do you get it? You get a showing it?
Speaker 1: I know she didn't. She didn't call me back. He
Speaker 1: left her number though, right, I was like, oh no, no, no, no,

Speaker 1: ever want to do. That's it for me. I mean,
Speaker 1: growing up in Texas, that's the biggest thing to go.
Speaker 1: Or if you're an artist to perform at the Houston
Speaker 1: Rodeo and the thing is sold out seventy thousand people,
Speaker 1: it's just craw. I don't know. The ACM thing hasn't
Speaker 1: really hit me yet. That was all kind of a
Speaker 1: blur and then the rodeo probably be the same way.
Speaker 1: We're probably like in July, I'll be riding down the
Speaker 1: road on the bus somewhere and be like, man March

Speaker 1: You know why you always angry? And thank you? Thank

Speaker 1: But play me, you know, don't sing, but play me
Speaker 1: the chorus on your guitar. All right, here we go.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do you want that same key? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: mean what do I know? All right, sure, here we go.
Speaker 1: So why you got it? I'll start it? So why
Speaker 1: are you always angry? Why don't you just eat lunch?
Speaker 1: There's lots of leftovers. Just go and heat it up
Speaker 1: and use the microwave and clear off the screen when
Speaker 1: you're done. Just stop winding that you're hungry. Don't know
Speaker 1: the rest. And I never got this far with the song,
Speaker 1: thank you very much, thank you? List? Yeah? Are you
Speaker 1: always angry? You didn't sing though, Oh I thought you
Speaker 1: were taking it home. I've never heard anyone take it
Speaker 1: home more than I just took it home. No, that's
Speaker 1: all the way home you ever get on stage. And
Speaker 1: this is on both side of it where one night
Speaker 1: you feel like, man, I'm killing it, like my voice
Speaker 1: is good, I'm on like just and you're like, man,
Speaker 1: this is one of those rare nights where everything is
Speaker 1: perfect and then at the same time, do you have
Speaker 1: nights where you're like, man, everything is wrong, like I'm
Speaker 1: not hitting? Does that? Do those happen often? On either side? Man,
Speaker 1: I'm just so critical of it. It's always the second one.
Speaker 1: Every night. It's like, oh, man, well we just as
Speaker 1: soon as we walk off the bus, me and the band,
Speaker 1: or as soon as we walk off the stage, the
Speaker 1: band and I are always sitting there. You know, how'd
Speaker 1: your ears sound? How did it? You know? What'd you think?
Speaker 1: What the you know? And sometimes we feel like we
Speaker 1: play terrible or I sound terrible with the crowd energy
Speaker 1: is so electric it doesn't even matter, you know. So
Speaker 1: I'm in my head about it every single night. We
Speaker 1: record every show, listen to every you do. Yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: like game tape, kind of like watching film. You're gonna
Speaker 1: drive yourself crazy. Oh, it drives me insane. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to be perfect. I'm a big believer in getting better.
Speaker 1: But if I did that, I couldn't do it. Every
Speaker 1: night because I would always hate myself. Yeah, it's we
Speaker 1: usually get on the bus and somebody we listen to
Speaker 1: the show and they'll be like listen, and so it's
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's to good for you. Do you
Speaker 1: feel like you get better from it? I hope. So
Speaker 1: do you ever say anything stupid? Like when you're talking
Speaker 1: and you're back and you're like, why did I say that? Oh?
Speaker 1: All the time? There's a video on the internet. One
Speaker 1: night we were playing somewhere in like Kansas or sometime.
Speaker 1: It's big outdoor stage. It was super windy and it
Speaker 1: was just blow and the whole show, and at some
Speaker 1: point it's like on TikTok or something that popped up
Speaker 1: recently that sounds so stupid. I'm like, I'm like, how
Speaker 1: much wind can there be? It has to go all
Speaker 1: the way around the world at one point, like surely
Speaker 1: we're going to run out of wind before the end
Speaker 1: of this show. It goes all the way around, like
Speaker 1: it has to go to the other side. At some
Speaker 1: point there's no way there's any wind left. And after
Speaker 1: the show you're like, what is he talking? We're listening.
Speaker 1: It's a smart all coming up road for you. Right now, man,
Speaker 1: you're about to get married. I mean, she's awesome. The
Speaker 1: just numera know, I'm gonna say she's the man, but
Speaker 1: she's not the man, she's the woman. Well, you got
Speaker 1: it all going. Congrats on wedding. You're not singing at
Speaker 1: your wedding? Right No? Sure? Okay, thank god. It would
Speaker 1: just be awkward for everybody. It'd be awesome. It'd be
Speaker 1: awkward for everybody. And everything with me and Holly Ray
Speaker 1: is always about me, Like everything we go to is
Speaker 1: for me. Everything, you know, I've got to get on stage,
Speaker 1: do the interview, everything's that a way. And so I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's like such a big dage. She needs to be
Speaker 1: about her. So is that often a convert because we
Speaker 1: have that same conversation where so much is about when
Speaker 1: we go places. A lot of the time she just
Speaker 1: ends up being Bobby's wife and we have to purposefully
Speaker 1: find things that and I try to make an effort
Speaker 1: to do things where she's just not my wife or
Speaker 1: I'm just a dorky guy that's with her because she
Speaker 1: kind of deserves her own spotlight. Yeah, I always trying
Speaker 1: to just make sure that she doesn't feel like that
Speaker 1: and I enjoy that, you know, Like I mean, everything
Speaker 1: is it's always we're always going somewhere doing something for me.
Speaker 1: So I'm always trying to go places and do stuff
Speaker 1: for her. But I don't know she's really She's just
Speaker 1: the bomb dude. She handles it so well and it's
Speaker 1: still kind of new for her. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of the things we do, like being at the Awards show,
Speaker 1: I think to thought that was the coolest thing in
Speaker 1: the world. She saw Brittany Audine, and Brittany came over
Speaker 1: and said hello, so, um, you know those those kind
Speaker 1: of things. I think she's probably it's probably okay too.
Speaker 1: I congratulation the bank. You there. He is Parker McCullum.
Speaker 1: I was working a couple of the lines here for
Speaker 1: the song that was gonna be smash Up. Yeah. Well
Speaker 1: because at the second verse, why are you always angry?
Speaker 1: Why don't you just eat lunch? There's lots of leftovers,
Speaker 1: just go and heat it up. And I feel like
Speaker 1: a food reference here, like, um, maybe have some pasta
Speaker 1: in the drawer. There's a grilled cheese, right, So let
Speaker 1: me find you. Because she's what a man have to do.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, don't don't know. I'm writing a
Speaker 1: song here. I thought about that. No, hold on, man,

Speaker 1: She was on the show this week. I love me
Speaker 1: some Dolly Parton. She is just a powerhouse of a human.
Speaker 1: I love her and every time she comes on the show,
Speaker 1: it just makes me happy and light up inside for
Speaker 1: at least the entire day. So I hope this interview
Speaker 1: brings you some joy because Dolly is just the best.
Speaker 1: Number two, Dolly, good to talk to you, Good to
Speaker 1: talk to you. How are you? I'm pretty good to
Speaker 1: have your have your book right here, and you were
Speaker 1: we were talking about the book. We were talking about
Speaker 1: the album that came out with the book last week.
Speaker 1: So this and you hosting the ACMs. See, everybody gives
Speaker 1: you credit for being really small, and I think they
Speaker 1: should because you've you've packaged all this together. You can
Speaker 1: do all this press at one time, and you're knocking
Speaker 1: it all out. This this is amazing. So let's talk
Speaker 1: about the book first that came out today, Run Rose Run,
Speaker 1: because you wrote this with James Patterson. How do you
Speaker 1: guys become friends? How do you guys get in touch
Speaker 1: with each other? Well, actually, he called me he was
Speaker 1: interested in writing a book with me. I don't know why,
Speaker 1: but he was. I guess he had written a couple
Speaker 1: of things for different celebrities, for different popular people, and
Speaker 1: so he called and asked if I would be interested
Speaker 1: in writing a book with him. I said, well, that
Speaker 1: that depends. I was shocked that he called start with.
Speaker 1: I thought, why does he need me? He's doing okay
Speaker 1: on his own. But he I said, I would be
Speaker 1: interested if it was really something I could really take
Speaker 1: part in and really be, you know, able to really
Speaker 1: contribute to it. So I said, won't you come to
Speaker 1: Nashville and we'll talk, And so he flew down and
Speaker 1: we got together, and he told me that he'd liked
Speaker 1: to write something about Nashville, and I thought, well, that's
Speaker 1: certainly something I know about. So it really worked out
Speaker 1: really well and we've just really clicked. I liked him
Speaker 1: a lot. I thought, well, we'll be able to work together,
Speaker 1: because it's very important when you have to do a
Speaker 1: project that you like the people you haven't spend that
Speaker 1: much time with. But he's really a great guy and
Speaker 1: we just got along great. We both were able to
Speaker 1: contribute a lot to each other. And me being in
Speaker 1: country music all my life and in Nashville for fifty
Speaker 1: seven years, I thought I knew a little bit about it.
Speaker 1: James Patterson is so successful in his line of work.
Speaker 1: Obviously you are in yours. But is there ever anyone
Speaker 1: or has there been one in the last ten fifteen
Speaker 1: years that you've met and you've been star struck by. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm star struck by anybody that does really good work
Speaker 1: and tries to make a difference in the world. And
Speaker 1: that was one of the things I loved about James.
Speaker 1: He's really interested in like making the world a better
Speaker 1: place as I am, and you know, he's very big
Speaker 1: on charity work for children and all that. So we
Speaker 1: really clicked on many ways. But I'm always impressed with
Speaker 1: people that do good things, So I can't just necessarily
Speaker 1: name a bunch of people, but I think it's all
Speaker 1: great when anybody steps up to try to do better.
Speaker 1: The ACM Awards are tonight on Amazon Prime Video and
Speaker 1: you're hosting, and I guess it goes to again, you've
Speaker 1: done so many really cool things. Do you get nervous
Speaker 1: to perform ever anymore? Well, you always get nervous because
Speaker 1: you want it to go well. You hope you don't
Speaker 1: mess up too bad. But that's what they call those butterflies.
Speaker 1: I don't think you ever outgrow that. I don't think
Speaker 1: it should because that's also part of the excitement. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm always hoping to do good and hoping I you know,
Speaker 1: don't disappoint anybody. But just as soon as that light
Speaker 1: hits me, I'm often running then it's too late now.
Speaker 1: So I always look forward to it. I love the crowd,
Speaker 1: I love doing that. I've been doing television all my life,
Speaker 1: so I'm looking for forward to it. I'm excited about it, really,
Speaker 1: you know. I was just looking at some of the
Speaker 1: stuff over the past since the last time we've spoken,
Speaker 1: which was the baking line with Duncan Hines, the ice
Speaker 1: cream you know, the book that's out today, the music
Speaker 1: last they came out last Friday, and you know, there's
Speaker 1: so much that you're involved in. Do you have a
Speaker 1: person that you trust where you sit and you go, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's decide what massive projects we're going to take on next.
Speaker 1: Because I'm sure people are throwing ideas at you all
Speaker 1: the time. How they do I have been blessed to
Speaker 1: be surrounded with wonderful people, and of course in the
Speaker 1: marketing and management, Danny Nozell and his crew have done
Speaker 1: a wonderful job working all that out. You've got to
Speaker 1: have great press and Danny's always putting together a great group.
Speaker 1: And of course it depends on what all you're working with.
Speaker 1: That's what we do here in Nashville. Same with my
Speaker 1: people in East Tennessee with Dollywood and the management there.
Speaker 1: You know, I just I am so blessed to have
Speaker 1: all these smart, wonderful people to help me out with
Speaker 1: all that. Of course I'm the creative force, but they
Speaker 1: have to get out and do all the hard work
Speaker 1: and make all these wonderful things happen. Do you have
Speaker 1: a favorite song to sing live now? And has that
Speaker 1: changed over the years where you have an affinity for
Speaker 1: a different songs as you know, different years go by well,
Speaker 1: it happens almost not just in years, but almost in
Speaker 1: days or nights, because sometimes if there's a certain thing
Speaker 1: going on that I relate to a certain song about,
Speaker 1: like for instance, Code of Many Colors, I sing all
Speaker 1: the time, but when my mother passed away, it was
Speaker 1: just so hard for several months for me to be
Speaker 1: able to sing that song without actually really breaking down
Speaker 1: where I couldn't even finish the song, or even that
Speaker 1: little set you know about family. But now you know,
Speaker 1: I sing it and it takes on a different feel
Speaker 1: than it did when Mama was living. It's more of
Speaker 1: a precious memory kind of thing now. But sometimes, you know,
Speaker 1: it depends on the mood I'm in. Some nights, I
Speaker 1: love singing I Will Always Love You Best. I always
Speaker 1: love singing that one because every singer loves to have
Speaker 1: a song that where you can really sing low and
Speaker 1: let the dynamics, you know, where you can go up
Speaker 1: and down and then really let it go at the end.
Speaker 1: So I always enjoy that one. But I enjoy singing
Speaker 1: the songs that the audience responds to the most, Like
Speaker 1: when I start into nine to five, the crowd just
Speaker 1: goes crazy, start clapping, even before I when they start
Speaker 1: hearing the you know, just the rhythm of the song.
Speaker 1: So it just depends on the night. But I'm thankful
Speaker 1: that all of them are received so well. I have
Speaker 1: two questions for you and we'll wrap here. But there
Speaker 1: was a story about Keith Urban being your dream duet partner.
Speaker 1: Are you guys actually working on that now? Because once
Speaker 1: that becomes a story, I think Keith probably reaches out like,
Speaker 1: is that is the thing? Well? Actually I did a
Speaker 1: do it with him many many years ago with him,
Speaker 1: but I would love to actually have something else with
Speaker 1: him because I think our voice is fit. I've always
Speaker 1: loved him to death. He just feels like a member
Speaker 1: of my family. He reminds me so much of my
Speaker 1: brothers Randy and Floyd, who I used to sing with
Speaker 1: all the time. So I would love to do something
Speaker 1: else with Keith and have a real single and have
Speaker 1: a big hit. But he's got, you know, he's got
Speaker 1: so many people are running after him. But anyhow, someday
Speaker 1: that'll happen again. I hope He's so talented. I love him.
Speaker 1: Final question is, after you do a performance of any kind,
Speaker 1: does someone then grab your clothes and go, Okay, we
Speaker 1: have to say this, because this we will donate it.
Speaker 1: We will put it on display, like every single thing
Speaker 1: you wear, is that a thing? Well, actually everything I wear.
Speaker 1: If I really love it, I'll wear that again, especially
Speaker 1: if I'm on tour. And after a few weeks somebody
Speaker 1: asked me if I only wear clothes wants. No, there
Speaker 1: are some things I only wear ones, like if it's
Speaker 1: a really big event, and then we put that in
Speaker 1: the museum. But that's rare because usually I'll wear things
Speaker 1: different times until I'm finished with that, and sometimes we
Speaker 1: even remake them, like if they're a long gown, we
Speaker 1: might shorten it and then work like that for a while,
Speaker 1: and then if it's done so many important things, it
Speaker 1: goes in the museum, or we auction it off at
Speaker 1: some charity events. You guys go to shopt Dolly parton
Speaker 1: dot com. Get Run Rose Run. The music came out
Speaker 1: last Friday, Dolly, thank you, great to see you and
Speaker 1: hopefully I will see you soon. Good luck tonight, Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you looking forward to it all right, bye bye.
Speaker 1: It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan number two,
Speaker 1: and of course this one had to come in hot
Speaker 1: at number one because oh my goodness, what a crazy
Speaker 1: story from Abbey about her boyfriend a medical emergency, Like
Speaker 1: just so crazy of a story, and we're so glad
Speaker 1: to hear her. He's okay, but you got to hear
Speaker 1: it for yourself, because this is just like one in
Speaker 1: a million. I don't actually know the odds, but this
Speaker 1: is like one in a million chance that this happens
Speaker 1: to somebody, and it happened to Abby's boyfriend, and it
Speaker 1: was really scary for her, scary for him, just ate
Speaker 1: all around crazy situation, and she shared it with us.
Speaker 1: So though, so glad he's okay, sitting love to him
Speaker 1: if he happens to be listening to the best bits
Speaker 1: right now. Number one, Okay, let's talk about Abby and
Speaker 1: her boyfriend being airlifted to the hospital. You guys voted
Speaker 1: before he came to the segment. This is the one
Speaker 1: you wanted to hear. Yes, Abby, so you have a
Speaker 1: new boyfriend. You guys have been dating for how long now?
Speaker 1: It was February third, so that's a little over a month,
Speaker 1: fresh Verry, So if you call the show, Abby's our
Speaker 1: phone screener. She has a new boyfriend. And why that's
Speaker 1: quick to even be a boyfriend. Huh, well, I mean
Speaker 1: that's like when we were like official, but it was
Speaker 1: before Christmas, so and so what happens? What happened? Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: So I went home to visit him a couple of
Speaker 1: weekends ago, had a great time. I got to meet
Speaker 1: some of his friends. We went to a show. And
Speaker 1: then so he lives like an hour or so away
Speaker 1: from Wichita, which is Whichita was where my parents live.
Speaker 1: So we were gonna he was gonna meet him the
Speaker 1: final night, and we went to dinner and it was
Speaker 1: just like a super quick dinner, and then we kind
Speaker 1: of went our separate ways. They were going to take
Speaker 1: me to the airport the next day, and he drove
Speaker 1: home and I didn't really hear from him, and I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, I guess maybe he fell asleep, you know.
Speaker 1: And so he calls me at six in the morning
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, he's calling me to say,
Speaker 1: you know, are you awake for the airport? You know
Speaker 1: you better go. Yeah. I was like, oh, how sweet.
Speaker 1: And I answer and he's like, don't worry, I'm fine,
Speaker 1: but I am in the hospital. I was in the
Speaker 1: r and I had to be airlifted in the helicopter
Speaker 1: to Kansas to k You met in Kansas City and
Speaker 1: I was like, what I thought I was dreaming? I mean,
Speaker 1: this is six in the morning and you had just
Speaker 1: seen him the night before. Yeah, everything I thought was fine,
Speaker 1: and I was like, what are you saying. The first
Speaker 1: thing I thought was, you know, he was in an accident,
Speaker 1: like a car accident or something. But it turns out
Speaker 1: as we were eating dinner, he went to the bathroom
Speaker 1: really quick, and I wondered why. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that was kind of weird. He didn't say anything. He
Speaker 1: choked in the bathroom. He was choking on a piece
Speaker 1: of meat and it ruptured his esophagus. What So there
Speaker 1: was like a tiny hole in his esophagus and on
Speaker 1: his drive home he was in so much pain. And
Speaker 1: it turns out his chest cavity was full of air,
Speaker 1: like if he would have gone the whole Yes, as
Speaker 1: he was coughing and drinking water, it was like leaking
Speaker 1: out of hi esophagus. Who oh, Like that's like life threatening.
Speaker 1: So then what happened he pulls over it is he
Speaker 1: So he went home and he was like, okay, this
Speaker 1: is not normal, and he called one of his neighbors
Speaker 1: because he lives kind of in a smaller town, and
Speaker 1: he was like, what do I do? Like, she was like,
Speaker 1: I'll drive you to the hospital. And they don't have
Speaker 1: the resources at that hospital for what he needed. So
Speaker 1: that's why they needed to get a helicopter to take
Speaker 1: into Kansas City. He remember the helicopter ride he does, yeah,
Speaker 1: and he was like, yep, he was. And it's funny
Speaker 1: because one of the medics on there was like asking
Speaker 1: him questions and he's like, so, do you have a
Speaker 1: girlfriend And he's like, yeah, she's in Nashville. And they're
Speaker 1: like if she a singer. He's like, no, she works
Speaker 1: on radio and they're like, oh my gosh, Morgan, He's
Speaker 1: like no. I was like, what in the world. Why
Speaker 1: are you guys having a conversation on the way to
Speaker 1: the hospital. Now, yes, he has not I've been able
Speaker 1: to eat for two weeks and he has another week
Speaker 1: or you can't eat. He's been drinking like he's lost weight.
Speaker 1: It is it's insane. I didn't even know this was
Speaker 1: a thing, this could happened. But through his esophagus, like
Speaker 1: he can take liquid or like a feeding tube. So
Speaker 1: they had to do a test where you drink this
Speaker 1: die to make sure it's not leaking out really bad
Speaker 1: or he would have had surgery. So like I was
Speaker 1: waiting for those results and it was so nerve wracking.
Speaker 1: Are you excited about this Saturday? Yeah, he is gonna come. Yes,
Speaker 1: It's the first time I'm seeing him since this has happened,
Speaker 1: So I'm very excited. Bring him on stage. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: And just so that we're learning from this segment as well.
Speaker 1: Like online, it says you have to go to the
Speaker 1: emergency room right away if you feel like this happening
Speaker 1: with your esophagus, because if it is treated within twenty
Speaker 1: four hours, chances of survival are high. But then if not,
Speaker 1: it goes all downhill from there because it was all
Speaker 1: going into his chest cavity. Yeah, yeah, I mean that.
Speaker 1: I'm glad Victory got a helicopter ride. That's fun. Meet.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Um Abby will be on Saturday
