I'm excited to be hanging 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:11.440 out with you guys again this weekend. Make sure you 0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:14.319 check out the Best Bits with Ray Mundo. I had 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:16.640 him on this weekend. It was super fun to talk about. 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.560 We shared our last like last TV show we watched 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.960 Last Thing week eight. We also talked about our Valentine's 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:23.960 Day plans and Ray told me what I should do 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.480 as a single person on Valentine's Day and it was 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.160 not good advice, but it's hilarious to hear. So definitely 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:31.880 go check that out. And I'm so excited to hang 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:33.919 out with you guys this weekend and count down some 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:37.680 of the bits. So let's go. Abby confessed something about 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.080 a misconnection she had. Basically, she shared this misconnection with 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:44.600 us and then we found out, well something about it 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:49.920 wasn't exactly true. So here you go, number seven, it's time. Abby. 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:51.599 I don't know what you're here to tell us, if 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.959 it's a confession, if it's just you wanted to get 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:55.360 this out in the open so we don't find out 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.880 about it from somebody else. But I'm gonna set it 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.280 up because I don't know where this is going is 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.920 On the show, Abby's single, She's been trying to find 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.759 love for a long time. Occasionally she has a little 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.959 boyfriend and that ends talk about it the roller coaster. 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:14.880 Sometimes she jumps in wait too fast, too quick, right, guys. 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:18.560 So she's New Year's Eve, she flies into town, back home, 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.679 she gets an uber. She's sharing an uber with a 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.840 guy because they're saving money, and they strike up a conversation. 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.280 She thinks he's cute. He invites her to go to 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.400 some New Year's thing, or at least she says it. 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.119 She says she saw it, but she never got it. 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.640 And she's telling it's a misconnection. We're on the ear 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.640 going does anyone know this guy? A listener finds the guy. 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.759 So Abby doesn't know what to say back to him. Really, 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.240 so we spin the wheel lands on me. I write 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.160 the message back. It's a poem. It's a lovely poem, beautiful, 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:47.880 and then all of a sudden we didn't get a response. 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.840 We never heard back from him. We're talking about it 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.480 like an hour ago, and Abby's like, I have it's 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.880 something I need to tell you, guys. So Abby, the 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:58.960 cringe level if ten is the worst cringe ever, how 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:08.560 cringey is it? I'd say a maybe nine? Okay, Abby, 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.640 what happened? Is it a confession or are you just 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.919 angry or are you sad or what? It's not really 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.240 a confession? Well, okay, So remember when a caller called 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.720 in and like said to check my hidden messages and 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:25.080 I did. Well. The other day I was looking again 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.680 just because I didn't really know of that hidden inbox. 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.600 So I was just like looking at messages and guess 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.640 who I come across? Read like, he did send me 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.440 a message? So the woman I sent you're email to 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:42.120 or whatever two was the wrong Ready, it's not the 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:47.679 same guy. No, and they both play the fiddle. They 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.600 both have brown hair. What because remember the other one 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.160 was private, so I couldn't look at him. This is 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.680 so it went to the wrong read and he did 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.760 send me that invitation that night, I just didn't see it. 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.880 So she fell in love with the guy saw his 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.000 Instagram was like, oh, that's him for sure. So she 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.000 was well, no, she said, even when we found it 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:10.239 it was private, it was hard to see him, but 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:11.880 you thought it was him. Yeah, because I looked this 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.560 guy up that fiddle so both of these reads play 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.760 fiddle love triangle? Wow, we gotta love triangle? Any of them? Wow? Okay? 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:24.680 So now what Yeah? Now I think we just hey, 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.919 copy and paste of palm back over to the other one. 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:32.440 Let's just let it go. Why why the guys? Abby? 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.400 Go ahead, I'm gonna tell you. Why. What's up? Well? 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.680 That was three almost four weeks ago at the right point. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.560 Now you don't look like you're readily available. Now you're 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.400 playing hard to get. Do you not want to go 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.120 out with them? I don't even know. At this point, 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.320 I'm like, Wow, he didn't do anything wrong. He literally 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:51.720 messaged you yes, So why would you not? I don't know. 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.240 Are you nervous? Is it because you're nervous about it? Well, 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.520 because I've already talked about it so much on here 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.480 and to the no chance if he plays the fiddle 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.800 in a bluegrass band, he's ever even heard this show, 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:05.080 and if he does, he hates it. So you're all good? Yeah? 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.720 I could. I just can't believe that message him back 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.160 not the poem, say hey, hey, no, no, no, no, 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:16.120 hold on, don't just write coffee. Say hey, I just 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:20.120 saw this. I didn't know we had hidden messages. Wow, 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.800 how are you doing? That's it? You have a reason 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.560 now to message him back. I like that much better, 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.360 back on track. So then maybe that was meant to be. Okay, 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.640 But have you gone out with anybody else since then? Nope? None? 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.200 Here yes? Why well, she didn't have to tell us 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:41.640 if she has. But have you no? No? You said 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.320 to say no, just leave it at that, so so 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.600 so yes, but you don't want to say yes. And 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.479 that's why she didn't want to message just dude, because 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:52.000 she's obviously saying someone he's in love with someone else. Really, 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:56.719 are you engaged? No, I'm not. Okay, let me just 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:58.560 say this. You don't so you don't want to message 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.320 the guy right now? I'm going to hold off. Why 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.800 don't you message him anyway? It's not like you're in 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.120 a committed relationshi, Abby, this is you going too hard 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:11.360 too fast? Was one other guy? Oh my god, this 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:18.880 is a recurring. I think she's married. I understand she 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.440 doesn't want to message this read guy because she's already 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.920 she's involved. She thinks she's involved. She's been like two dates. 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:27.800 I'm just guessing. Yeah, I know we're guessing. But with 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.720 your hypothesis, it is that she she doesn't want to 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.000 mess this up because she's committed to this other guy. 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.479 This other guy's probably going out with eight girls on 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.279 an app and isn't committed to Abby. But Abby doesn't 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.640 want to mess it up. Hey, we've seen this movie before. God, 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.679 Abby message the other guy too. Okay, I love you Abby. 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.000 I just like putting my effort into one thing at 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.560 a time. We know, and it smothers. That's called smothering 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:53.680 an animal with a blanket. It's the best bits of 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:58.400 the week with Morgan. Number two. Charles Kelly stopped by 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.400 our show this week and he talks about it journey 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.359 to sobriety, and it was a really vulnerable, emotional interview 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.840 and just really cool to hear from Charles from where 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.840 he started to where he is now. He also gave 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.159 us a performance of his new song that he wrote 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.600 about that journey to sobriety, which is called as Far 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:14.320 as You Could. It's not on the podcast, but you 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.440 can definitely go check it out at Bobby Bones dot com, 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.400 but the interview is right here. It's a really good one. 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.360 You're gonna love hearing this conversation between Bobby and Charles. 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.280 Number six is born in Augusta, Georgia, nineteen eighty one, 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:28.920 one of the lead singers of the group Now Lady A, 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:30.240 as you know, has a bunch of number ones. They 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.000 have eleven as a matter of fact, but just in 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.120 case you need to know, here is downtown and I 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:38.279 don't know why, but all their number ones is nothing 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.240 if you don't add in all the number ones. He's 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.320 written for other artists, for example Luke Brian do I 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:52.200 or Darius Homegrown Honey or Brett Young Here tonight we 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.800 can just sit here.

I'm 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.000 good man. You know it's kind of a don't all 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:08.640 I want to say weird, but you know you wrote 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.080 this song and it's very serious, like meaningful song, but 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.000 also like I like you as a friend and you're funny, 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.880 and it's like, well, we're gonna get into a couple 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.320 of things here, but you know, it's like what do 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.400 we do here? Am I gonna be this? Am I 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.160 gonna have my word? Vomit? Like? Usually, well, how do 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.280 you how do you feel just generally, how do you 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.440 feel today as compared to yesterday, as compared to a 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.760 year Agoah, I mean, it's it's a journey. I mean, 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.320 I think with anything. I mean, it was you know, 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.280 I think it was obvious to a lot of people. 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.560 I mean, it was time, you know, it was it 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.840 wasn't fun anymore for me. Um, I think the last 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:44.960 three years it just had gotten to this point where 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.360 it had escalated and it was you know, I had 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.280 to do it like it wasn't even like I you know, 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.280 like I was getting any joy out of it. I was. 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.400 It was just became a crutch, you know. So Um, 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.960 I mean, everything has gotten infinitely better. I mean, do 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:03.000 I not like to go to a cocktail party? That's 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:04.920 really awkward for me. You know, if I'm going to 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.160 be around drinking, I need to have like something I'm doing, 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:08.920 whether it's a dinner or like golf. You know, I 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.680 can have buddies around me drinking. But at least for now, 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.040 you know, I'm a little over six months in, but 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.840 just waking up enjoying the mornings. I feel like I 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:19.440 get to say I'm a sober dad now. You know, 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:23.280 I'm way more present for him, I'm healthy body wise, Yeah, yeah, 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.880 I lost about fifteen pounds and working out every day. 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.760 And where did that come from? The fifteen pounds? Was 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.760 it just not drinking or show both. I mean, I 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.240 think you go through a whole new mindset. You know. 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.120 It's funny. I was thinking about the other day, like 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.360 I knew it. I knew something was going to have 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.480 to happen, you know, and I was just like waiting 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.520 and luckily, you know, I didn't lose at all, but 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:46.240 I almost did. I mean, my marriage was kind of really, 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.440 really shaky. The band definitely was concerned, and I was like, 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.360 something's gonna happen. What is going to happen? Am I 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.920 gonna get pulled over? Am I gonna get do something awful? 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.600 And it just eventually was like why am I waiting 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.439 for some giant disaster? You know? So um, but it's 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.119 been unbelievable, man. I mean, my wife and his relationship 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.080 has turned around one to eighty. I mean I think 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.280 I just she was always concerned for me, you know, 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.240 and you would say some of the worst things to 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.080 the one that loves you the most, you know, and 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:17.480 I think just for that, um, you know, that was 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.880 my first goal with doing this was like, I need 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.520 to save my marriage and be there for my boy. 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.040 And then it was like, okay, now what's the next challenge? 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.880 How do I get how do how does my how 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.880 do my bandmates trust me? Again? Moving forward and with 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:33.960 a lot of people, and I've dealt with those of people, 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:38.160 addiction and um, you know, alcoholism to a different level, 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.760 but it has run rampant in my family and killed people, 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.400 and so from a different percent. We're looking at the 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:49.320 same like genesis and actions, but from different places. And 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.920 with my mom, she tried, but I didn't feel like 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.160 she was ever fully committed herself. I think she was 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.240 trying for other people. Yeah, and there's a difference when 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.480 you try for other people you she tended, I'll speak 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:05.600 for her to give up a little quicker because she 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.280 wasn't doing it for herself. Ever, that's that's such a 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.040 I mean, in the beginning, it's funny you said that 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.120 it wasn't until you know. I won't go into the 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.680 details of the work I've been doing, but it's a 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.960 lot of work. And I think that was something that 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.559 it took me a few months after you know, putting 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.120 the bottle down to actually be like I've got to 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.120 do this for me. Like in the beginning, it totally 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.079 was I'm trying to save my marriage, I'm trying to 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.920 save my band and in my career, you know. And 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:29.400 then all of a sudden, it was like, I gotta 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.000 do this for me, and I started feeling better, started 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.840 you know, getting my confidence back, I started feeling more purpose. 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:36.920 I think asked what, like where this song kind of 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.560 came from. I was like, you know, I want this 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.040 to mean something. I want this journey to meant something, 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:44.760 you know, and something good can come out of it. 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.640 But it's weird, man. I just I feel like I 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.160 had a great run twenty five years. I'd say the 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.199 first twenty years of it. You know. It's kind of 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:55.800 like what the song says. It was like you're part 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.120 of my story. It was like you took me places. 0:10:58.160 --> 0:10:59.319 I mean, I don't know if I would have ever 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.400 moved to Nashville if I didn't have some drunken night 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.960 the night before and was so miserable and I was 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.320 like got up, and it's like I'm I'm going, you know, 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.200 and and I'm not saying that's a you know, I'm 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:11.760 not trying to justify it. But it was like so 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:13.560 many little moments, you know. I mean when I first 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.800 met my wife, I had a little liquid courage and 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.640 there's nothing wrong with, you know, drinking. I just am 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.280 the type of guy that I'm going to take it 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:22.760 to the next level. I mean I remember going to 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.400 dinners with David and he'd be like, I was one 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.720 glass of wine. I was like, you just you literally 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.160 can just have a one? Like how do you do that? 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:32.960 That's anything? Once I once one, I'm going And so 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.040 it was just obvious. I mean all the signs were there, 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.240 and um, it is it's a it's it's an interesting journey. 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.960 And I think I was blown away, like how many 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:47.960 people you know could relate that weren't even addicts themselves, 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.160 you know, where alcoholics it's just the family touches everybody, 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.040 family members and all this stuff, and um, you know 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.240 that was kind of too. What I keep telling myself 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.040 with this song, It's like I don't know what journey 0:11:58.080 --> 0:11:59.599 it's going to take, but all I know is I 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.079 feel was authentic and it feels true. It already feels 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.280 like it's you know, it's spoken to two people, and 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.120 I mean, gosh, that's what we got into this for 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.000 it was to you know, have some songs like that, 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.480 and um, you know, to write songs like that as writers, 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:17.320 and um, you know, the title actually came from you know, 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.920 I went somewhere and uh, disn't work on myself and 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:22.920 had written that down. I was like it was almost 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.880 like a goodbye letter to alcohol. And I was like, 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.040 I was like, goodbye whiskey, you know, go to hell. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.280 You took me as far as you could. And I 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:31.800 was like that's a good title. And so when we 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.400 came in and started, you know, I was like, I 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.040 want to write a really honest song, and it was 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:38.800 it was a special moment I think for three of 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.319 us when you write that song and again you're writing 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:44.000 it because it is so personal. Are you going, we're 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.760 gonna write this because I just need to get this 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:51.160 but somehow encapsulated into music? Do you write this? And 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.800 I do want to share this. It's a lady a song. 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:58.280 Where did you plan like level two? You wrote it? Now? Yeah, honestly, 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.640 we were just writing. I think we were just writing 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:04.080 it and you know, and yeah, I mean I didn't 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.400 know if it was going to be me, you know, 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.719 a lady a song. I mean, honestly, I think Dave 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:10.840 and I both would agree. I mean, we were picturing 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.240 it as a lady A song and Hillary just was like, Charles, 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.000 this is your story, and she was like, I almost 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.000 am afraid to throw harmonies on it and take away 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.520 from the rawness and the authenticity I think of your journey. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.960 And you know, because she she had just an amazing 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.559 Grammy winning song, you know, there're a Christian song that 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.040 I will And I was like, you know, maybe it's 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.560 like that, like that was her story and so personal 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:36.840 and we can have, you know, be able to put 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.120 some stuff out, but I think it all still goes 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.679 towards that lady A sound. I mean, we did it 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.480 the other night. It was our first show back in Orlando, 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:46.520 and it was just one of these special moments that 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.640 we had, you know, to play that song, and so 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:50.960 you know, I'm hoping it can kind of live alongside 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.000 just all our our body of work, and you know, 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.400 we're working on so many music as a band as well, 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.200 and just I think just you know, maybe the can 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.800 all lead us into some more longevity is kind of 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.280 what I look at it. Well, Dave's here too, just 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.720 in case you thought they didn't like each other, like 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:13.160 it's it's Charles Kelly, it's Dave and h and Jimmy 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:17.360 Robbins in place of Hillary, which is not well. But 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.560 I do. I do like the fact that this it 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.560 really is your story and it needs to be told 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.720 by you with the attention on you, so what you're 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.600 saying can be heard and not be watered or not 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:33.320 be um interpreted anyway except by a singular voice because 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.320 it's such a singular journey for others, for yourself and others. 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.800 I mean, that's so true. And honestly, I applaud Hillary 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:40.880 for kind of you know, recognizing that because we were 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:42.520 David I both you know, wouldn't lie. We were like, 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.600 oh man, this is I love this kind of sound 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.000 and this message from us as a band, and um, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.760 you know, I think it. Looking back now, I'm like, man, 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.920 she was right, you know, and I got applaud like 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.400 Dave and Jimmy. I mean, when we wrote it, it 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.480 just had this thing where I was just kind of 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.120 just throwing out some things and I said, yeah, say, 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.880 it's probably why I moved to Nashville, and Jimmy's because 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.240 so I moved to Nashville. Almost left. I was like 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.480 we were off to the races, and I know that 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.440 I couldn't have gotten it out in such a poetic way, 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.080 you know, even though it wasn't their journey. But Dave 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.880 has gotten to see it, you know, and so um, 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.280 I mean we were tearing up. It was it was 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.000 a really therapeutic moment. And then it's a journey, man. 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.520 I mean, we still got a ways to go with 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:27.080 the bands, and and you know a lot of you know, 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:30.800 we've I've done a lot of repair, but there's it's 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.080 kind of almost like a living repair. I'm gonna you know, 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.080 it really gotta because I've tried before, you know, and 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:37.480 and like you had said, trying to do it on 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.040 your own or do it for somebody else. You just 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.920 white knuckling it. It's not gonna work long term. It 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:43.720 only takes one drink to get you right back where 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.080 you were. And so it was, you know, it only 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:50.920 gotten worse. Here is Charles Kelly with his song as 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:57.160 far as you could Charles Kelly, great, what what's what's 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.160 the goal with the song? Because you write it, then 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.320 you record it, then you decide you're going to put 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.880 it out, and yeah, what's the goal, because it's something 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:06.800 bigger than you're putting a song out obvious, Yeah, I 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.080 mean to reach people. I mean it really, you know, 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.640 it's been such an up and down journey, and you know, 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.600 as an artist and things that work, things that don't work. 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.360 And I have a big part of even this journey, 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.480 of the work of doing is just letting go and 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.840 chasing the art and letting go and you know, putting 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.800 putting my my stock and my happiness in the in 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:32.160 the process and uh and not the outcome. I mean 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.480 I didn't even think it was going to be something 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.680 even considered putting it out as a single, but um, 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.600 Scott Brochetta, you know, Big Machine was just he just 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:44.200 really is passionate about it. Same thing with Ryan and 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:46.880 Jimmy over at the label and my team, and they 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.120 just like, this is a powerful message. I don't know 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.960 if anybody knows what it's going to do, but it 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.320 already feels like it's I mean, it's already I got 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:55.880 it out. I mean even one of the reasons of 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.000 getting it out. I couldn't hold it in anymore. And um, 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.600 you know, and and we're in our last label. I 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:03.760 mean he was like, oh, let's go in there and 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.000 do this with Lady A. And everybody's like Hillary's like 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.639 let's step back, and Dave like, you know, let's not 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:10.120 get ahead of this. It was like, I gotta get 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:13.520 this out right now, and just you know, I gotta 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.000 get it off my chest. And so I think that 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:16.800 was the biggest thing, was just getting it out there 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.520 and whatever journey it takes. I mean, it's already done 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.200 so much for me and some of the stories I've 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.439 heard my wife, I think that's she probably gets more 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.119 people reaching out to her, you know, other wives that 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:29.679 are going through this, How do you deal with it? 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.359 What's the best way? And and it's given her so 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.560 much purpose and she's doing so much work around it 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.119 that again, it's like it's just bringing us together in 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:38.840 this whole different way. And I was like, even if 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.560 that's the journey of the song, I don't I don't know. Um. 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.800 I think I just want to let go of of 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.119 of it and uh enjoy it, you know, And well, 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.919 I appreciate your vulnerability. Thank you, man. I mean you 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:54.560 can still sing, you know. And I didn't say one 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:57.119 inappropriate thing on the show. That's I really think it's 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:03.160 first time you don't worry. You're my favor I love 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.960 all you. But he makes me laugh so much, I'll 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.320 get on Instagram right, cut the bit, cut the right 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.679 like a good laugh. It is just awesome. He reminds me. 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:14.639 I feel like we would be best friends because we 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.840 just don't. Really we have no filter. My filter is 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:22.520 a little bit less, but it's still there. Um, Jimmy, 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:24.239 you know I'm a big fan of you too. If 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:28.560 you've been on before with Marion with I mean when 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:30.879 when Charles said something like you just said, you know, 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.000 brought me to Nashville, and you're like, I'm like, so, 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:36.280 if I were just to go eat some fruit loops 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:37.600 this morning, how would you say? How would you just 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:42.160 throw that out there? Man? Huh? I don't know about 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.480 your kids. I'm a lot like these fruit loops. I'm 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:48.880 a lot. It's like, what would what would that melody be? Though? Like, yeah, 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:56.320 there we go eat some fruit loops this morning? Yeah? Nice? 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:04.400 But my spoon was dirty as he was. My wife 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:11.520 told me to unload the dishwasher, but I never started 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:17.160 it to begin with. Now I'm sick because I ain't 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:23.680 dirty fruit loops from a dirty, dirty spoon. And now 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:30.879 I got e colin my diar real soon two kids. 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:35.879 Sam wants to kill me because he hates this song. 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:43.119 And it all started because I did my wife. From 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.840
