Speaker 1: It's the best Bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 2: I kill just the bits.
Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 2: Everybody?
Speaker 4: Happy post Thanksgiving weekend? Hopefully your bellies are full, your
Speaker 4: hearts are full. Everything was as amazing as it possibly
Speaker 4: could be, or at the very least, you've got a
Speaker 4: lot of relaxing and whatever your Thanksgiving looked like. But
Speaker 4: I am happy here joining me here on the Best
Speaker 4: Bits this weekend. We're catching up on the show. We
Speaker 4: only had a few shows this week before the holiday,
Speaker 4: but plenty of content, so let's get into it. We
Speaker 4: played some im never Gonna Get It for a listener
Speaker 4: and normally I don't really include some of the games
Speaker 4: here because you can watch them all of our social media,
Speaker 4: but this one was just chaotic. I don't know if
Speaker 4: it was because it was right before the holiday and
Speaker 4: we were all a little delusional, but it was pure
Speaker 4: chaos and I think you'll get a good laugh out
Speaker 4: of it. To start today's.
Speaker 3: Show, number seven question is this will be on the
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving dinner table for only three percent of Americans? I
Speaker 3: think about that. Never Gonna Get It is a game
Speaker 3: not gonna get it? Oh, You're never never gonna get it? Nothing,
Speaker 3: No you're not gonna get it. This will be on
Speaker 3: the Thanksgiving dinner table for only three percent of Americans.
Speaker 5: What is it?
Speaker 3: Now, We're gonna give JC a chance here to win. Hey, Jac,
Speaker 3: how are you?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 7: Morning Studio Morning.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna give you a chance to win a
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty dollars Walmart gift card and a
Speaker 3: copy of the game that everybody loves called Let's Hit
Speaker 3: each Other with Fake Swords, which, by the way, it's
Speaker 3: currently on sale right now for only ten dollars at
Speaker 3: Walmart until tomorrow. Go get it. It's a great game.
Speaker 3: But for you, Jac, two hundred and fifty dollars Walmart
Speaker 3: gift card, You're gonna have three chances to win. You'll
Speaker 3: guess first, and I'll read the question again. This will
Speaker 3: be on the Thanksgiving dinner table for only three percent
Speaker 3: of Americans. So you'll guess. Then you can team up
Speaker 3: with a couple members of the show, and then we'll
Speaker 3: do some weird game at the very end. Okay, So first.
Speaker 7: To you, I am gonna throw out mac mac and
Speaker 7: cheese like I don't know if a lot of people
Speaker 7: have that. We do, but.
Speaker 3: Fair Dan, it's a quality guess it is not the
Speaker 3: correct answer though, I think probably a little more than
Speaker 3: three percent. But I like it, Mike as she came
Speaker 3: and prepared mac and cheese. Not right. I'm gonna read
Speaker 3: the question again, and you guys let me know where
Speaker 3: you are one to ten scale of how for sure
Speaker 3: you are? This will be on the Thanksgiving dinner table
Speaker 3: for only three percent of Americans. What is it, Amy,
Speaker 3: how for sure are you?
Speaker 6: I mean three versus so low. So it's got to
Speaker 6: be something really out of the ordinary. So I feel
Speaker 6: pretty good. Oh wow, out the ordinary for Thanksgiving number three.
Speaker 3: It's pretty good. Lunchbox two Morgan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like a four ten.
Speaker 3: Oh god, okay, Lunchbox and say that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't ever just claim it.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 3: So Jason, you can pick whoever you want. You pick
Speaker 3: two players here on the show. You got Amy and
Speaker 3: Morgan who are honest about their answers, or Eddie and Lunchbox,
Speaker 3: who just want to be picked.
Speaker 7: Yeah. I feel like Lunchbox always says ten, but he
Speaker 7: comes up with some good off the wall answers. So
Speaker 7: I'll go with Lunchbox. And you said I two people.
Speaker 3: You get to pick one other person.
Speaker 5: Yes, and I just feel.
Speaker 7: Like Morgan's good at this game. Even though she said four,
Speaker 7: I think I'm gonna go with Morgan.
Speaker 3: Okay, so Lunchbox, Morgan will hold the key to the car,
Speaker 3: hair Amy, what do you have a TV on the table?
Speaker 6: Went?
Speaker 3: Okay, I like your approach. Your approach is very different.
Speaker 3: But on the table, Yeah, this will okay, this will
Speaker 3: be on the on.
Speaker 5: The table, the TV on the table behind me?
Speaker 6: Interesting like that. Hey, maybe the serving table.
Speaker 3: You thought differently. You're wrong, but I admire that you
Speaker 3: thought differently. Thank you for that, Eddie. She didn't pick you.
Speaker 3: You were ten.
Speaker 5: It's a shame she didn't pick me because I have
Speaker 5: it is a menu? What it's a menu because three
Speaker 5: percent of Americans don't go out?
Speaker 6: No, that would be what the men on the table
Speaker 6: I know, if they're out to eat. That's just it's
Speaker 6: the menu.
Speaker 3: Well, the question is this will be on the Thanksgiving
Speaker 3: dinner table for only three percent of.
Speaker 6: Americans giving dinner table?
Speaker 5: Yeah, which is at a restaurants.
Speaker 2: You're saying, like only three percent of Americans go out?
Speaker 3: Box, Yet let's go. I'm gonna put you on hold.
Speaker 4: Yes, Morgan, Okay, I went out of the box for this. Also,
Speaker 4: I was going to do a food but then I
Speaker 4: went spoon. There's no foods on Thanksgiving that typically require us.
Speaker 8: Yes, Kansas, No, outside of the Morgan.
Speaker 3: You cannot be more wrong. Is that's the wrongest anybody
Speaker 3: ever been in this game? Yeah? No, the history of
Speaker 3: this game, that's the wrongest anyone's ever been. Yeah, good
Speaker 3: for you, it's okay.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it makes me feel a lot better about a
Speaker 6: TV spoon.
Speaker 9: But the serving spoon, lunchbox, it's easy. Guys, Amy, you
Speaker 9: were on the right track. You don't put the TV
Speaker 9: on the table, though, you put the channel changer so
Speaker 9: you can change the chan eating.
Speaker 3: That's wrong.
Speaker 6: That was your guest.
Speaker 3: That's wrong.
Speaker 2: It's the same thing as a TV.
Speaker 5: No, I'm the only one to live here.
Speaker 3: You're the only one to lie.
Speaker 6: And that's definitely not it. It's got to be a menu.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I can.
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess it could. But three percent even
Speaker 6: it seems fine.
Speaker 3: JC there, Jaycy, they're they're they're fighting. It's like somebody
Speaker 3: can give me a spoon, it right, So the people
Speaker 3: that you picked missed. Now, what I'm going to do
Speaker 3: is I'm going to go and just let you pick
Speaker 3: if Eddie yes or no, got it right. For your
Speaker 3: third pick, you can say Eddie, yes, got it right
Speaker 3: or no, he missed it, and if you're correct, you
Speaker 3: win the two hundred and fifty dollars gift card. So
Speaker 3: Eddie says, Menu.
Speaker 5: Jac, you know what I'm saying, right, Menu.
Speaker 3: Lunchbox made fun of him and said, there's the stupidest
Speaker 3: answer ever, but that was quickly met after Morgan stupidest
Speaker 3: answer ever, no offense Morgan.
Speaker 6: To be clear, spoon is worse than many a lot
Speaker 6: worse what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: It was before I got to Morgan. So at the time, Eddie,
Speaker 3: that was stupid. Guys. Okay, So Jac, did Eddie get
Speaker 3: it right or wrong?
Speaker 7: I feel like I like his approach and I never
Speaker 7: would have went there and this is never going to
Speaker 7: get it. So I feel like a menu could be
Speaker 7: right if people are going out to eat. So I
Speaker 7: think I'm gonna go with Eddie.
Speaker 3: Do you want to advise her? Guys?
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess even in your own home, sometimes
Speaker 6: people print out No.
Speaker 5: They don't know, they don't No one prints out, Oh
Speaker 5: my gosh, what do you live in?
Speaker 3: That's why I said Thanksgiving menu. No, I've never seen that. Okay, everyone, Okay.
Speaker 2: He got it wrong.
Speaker 6: Jac someone right, Oh oh oh, I just got it.
Speaker 6: It just came to my mind.
Speaker 5: No it's menu.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, it's not menu. I'm gonna write it
Speaker 6: down just in case I don't want jon did.
Speaker 3: You pick Eddie to get it right or wrong? Okay,
Speaker 3: he's right, all right?
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, you said that's giving money.
Speaker 3: I didn't say the one you own said the Thanksgiving tape.
Speaker 3: Three percent of people plan to eat out on Turkey Day,
Speaker 3: therefore a menu.
Speaker 6: But if they eat out at Applebee's, it's not a
Speaker 6: Thanksgiving table.
Speaker 3: Yes, for Thanksgiving. If they're eating the table in your
Speaker 3: house to use all your long inside Thanksgiving table until
Speaker 3: it's Thanksgiving.
Speaker 5: Day, that's another good point.
Speaker 3: And you eat with his phone?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you with a spoon?
Speaker 2: What was on you wrote down? That was right?
Speaker 6: Like name tags, like where you sit, play settings.
Speaker 2: In the world.
Speaker 3: Okay, Jesse, you want a two hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 3: gift card? You want what.
Speaker 6: You want?
Speaker 3: A two hundred and fifty dollars wal Mart gift card? Congratulations?
Speaker 3: There you want a copy of the Let let it.
Speaker 3: Let's hit each other with the Fake Swords game currently
Speaker 3: on sale right now for only ten dollars at Walmart
Speaker 3: until tomorrow, so be sure to get that. The game
Speaker 3: is so much fun. And Eddie congratulations.
Speaker 5: Congratulates Jac, congratulates you.
Speaker 3: Congratulate. They hate it on you and JC. Stay on
Speaker 3: the phone. We'll get we'll sign your game and send
Speaker 3: you the prize.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's awesome.
Speaker 6: Thank you guys.
Speaker 7: Pappy, thanksgiving me.
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving to you too. Make sure you got a spoon.
Speaker 3: I'm going to sign a spoon. Yes, the menu is
Speaker 3: just weird, the spoon thing, like, what what is? I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 1: I was trying to think out of the box.
Speaker 3: You did Morgan's like we only used the ice cream
Speaker 3: scoops and forks in Kansas. Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 4: Last week, the guys did husband gripes, like the things
Speaker 4: that they would gripe about on their wives. Well, Bobby
Speaker 4: got some DMS. It was like, okay, we need the
Speaker 4: reverse situation. So all the husbands shared the things that
Speaker 4: their wives would probably gripe about them.
Speaker 1: Number six, we'll do wife gripes.
Speaker 3: What would your wife gripe about publicly. If they were
Speaker 3: to come on this show, what would they say is
Speaker 3: like one of the difficult things about you lunch wotch
Speaker 3: you go first?
Speaker 2: Oh my messiness.
Speaker 9: I would say, like, I'll go get like a Chipotle bowl,
Speaker 9: and I'll take that little foam top there's whatever and
Speaker 9: leave it on the counter and never throw it away.
Speaker 9: Like I'll throw the bowl away because I eat it,
Speaker 9: But the top, I just leave it on the counter.
Speaker 9: I leave my cup there, my shirt there. I just
Speaker 9: leave these things everywhere. I don't like to clean up.
Speaker 3: What about dirty clothes? What do you do with them?
Speaker 2: I think go in the bathtub?
Speaker 3: Oh, I forgot about this, throws them in the bathroom.
Speaker 6: But didn't she join in on that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, she has joined into that.
Speaker 3: She has can't beat them join them though, because I
Speaker 3: don't think she ever wanted to throw dirty clothes in
Speaker 3: the bathtub like he does. I forgot about the dirty
Speaker 3: clothes in the bathtub. That's so bizarre.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so that she can't really complain like in our room,
Speaker 9: I don't have dirty clothes anywere because I just throw
Speaker 9: them in the bathtub.
Speaker 3: But why not the hamper is because the bat don't
Speaker 3: have a hamper. Okay, well why not get one for
Speaker 3: twelve dollars a target.
Speaker 2: Because I'm not twelve.
Speaker 5: What a hamper?
Speaker 3: I have a hamper? It has just split thing. Mine
Speaker 3: and Caitlin's on each side.
Speaker 5: Well that's cute.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's not a child thing. I think a
Speaker 3: child thing is throwing your dirty clothes in the bathtub.
Speaker 3: But that's you. Now we're doing wife gripes because we
Speaker 3: came on it, husband gripes and I got some DM's
Speaker 3: going that's not fair, Like, what do you guys do?
Speaker 3: That sucks?
Speaker 10: Eddie?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't listen. She'll say like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 5: I've told you that five times. Or she'll be like,
Speaker 5: you know that you have to take the kids to
Speaker 5: school today, right, Like, oh, yeah, is that today? I've
Speaker 5: told you that ten times. That's her big right, And
Speaker 5: also too, before I go to bed, I take all
Speaker 5: my clothes off and leave it right by the bed
Speaker 5: and they kind of stay there so the whole week
Speaker 5: and she'll purposely not pick any up. So by the
Speaker 5: whole week, I have a bunch of clothes right in
Speaker 5: my bed.
Speaker 3: Have you thought about the bathtub?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: No, I don't have a bathtub. I just have a
Speaker 5: shower in your whole house. Yeah, I don't have. All
Speaker 5: my kids have one.
Speaker 3: Take them up there, put in a bathtub.
Speaker 2: Wait, so you have a hamper, but you don't use it,
Speaker 2: so no, I do.
Speaker 5: Like for like, if I get home from work and
Speaker 5: I take my clothes off, put in the hamper, but
Speaker 5: right before I go to bed, I leave it right
Speaker 5: by the bed.
Speaker 3: But the point is he's not walking it to where
Speaker 3: a hamper could be and throwing it in the bathtub.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, so yours is not. Why do
Speaker 3: you think that is? Why don't you listen?
Speaker 5: I just forget things. I have bad memory, dude, I
Speaker 5: don't know.
Speaker 6: What it is.
Speaker 3: I think we all claim to have a bad memory,
Speaker 3: but when it's important, it's a priority, we don't really
Speaker 3: have a bad memory.
Speaker 6: Have to put systems in play, like that's part of
Speaker 6: just adulting. I relate to you, Eddie, But I've had
Speaker 6: to make sure have checks and balances, so I have
Speaker 6: to like make lists and take care of it every day.
Speaker 5: When I get home, I'm like, what do we have today?
Speaker 5: Do I we have practice? Like what do I need
Speaker 5: to do today?
Speaker 3: And another one be keep a calendar, yeah too, because.
Speaker 6: Like you know, multiple times of like not remembering to
Speaker 6: pick your kid up from.
Speaker 5: School, that's not says She's like, it's in the calendar, Raymond.
Speaker 3: What's your wife complain about for you? For me, it's
Speaker 3: not tidiness or cleanliness. I'm up on that. It's the
Speaker 3: stuff where her dad's really handy. He built her dang house.
Speaker 3: And I don't really know how to do a lot
Speaker 3: of that stuff. So she's hard on me for that
Speaker 3: other stuff. I eat loud, you eat loud? Yeah, Apparently
Speaker 3: she'll be in the other room and she's like, I
Speaker 3: can hear you chewing that? What is that? I don't know? Cornflakes,
Speaker 3: they're loud. I'm sorry you want me to swallow them?
Speaker 3: So it's that. And then it's also when I'm on
Speaker 3: my phone, when I'm on Instagram, I don't want to
Speaker 3: hear it on volume one or two. I want it
Speaker 3: full blast. I'm into my phone.
Speaker 2: I want to.
Speaker 3: Experience it, and she'll be like, turn it down from
Speaker 3: the other room, and she hates my That's a good one.
Speaker 3: I think my biggest If you were to ask my
Speaker 3: wife and she'd have a list, like all of our
Speaker 3: we're just scratching the surface.
Speaker 2: Right, boys, I talk, I got got other ones, so.
Speaker 3: We were scratching the surface here. But I think my
Speaker 3: number one from her wife Crepe would be if we're
Speaker 3: watching a show, we're watching a new like series. For example,
Speaker 3: I'll say we from we watched from Great, I like
Speaker 3: two as it goes, guess everything that's gonna happen, Like,
Speaker 3: have one hundred theories on what's happening with the show,
Speaker 3: just so when it ends, I get it right. So
Speaker 3: I'll guess. I'd be like, oh, I bet this person's
Speaker 3: a day. It's gonna be a and it may not
Speaker 3: be right, but I'll have like seventeen of them.
Speaker 6: You'll say them out loud, yeah by.
Speaker 3: The third episode, just so I can claim that I
Speaker 3: knew what happened at the end whenever it was them.
Speaker 3: Or I'll like call the killer and that's from is
Speaker 3: not that kind of show. But I'll be like Jonathan's
Speaker 3: Killer and she's like, okay, but you just guessed a
Speaker 3: minute ago the dentist and then before, so I'm trying
Speaker 3: to cover I'm trying to cover all the basis.
Speaker 6: So you turned TV watching into a competition.
Speaker 3: Well, we both try to figure out, like we both commit.
Speaker 6: So why isn't she screaming it out.
Speaker 3: Because she's not petty like I am, and I want
Speaker 3: to every option?
Speaker 5: Or does she play fair? Pick one and stick with it?
Speaker 3: Mostly that, and sometimes she'll be like, oh, I want
Speaker 3: to hop off this one and hop over to this one.
Speaker 3: But by this point, I've got every single character that's
Speaker 3: walked on the screen. I've claimed them. Yes, you can
Speaker 3: be right, and I figured out every single And then
Speaker 3: when it ends in a way that I picked, I
Speaker 3: told you, she said that was fourth out of nineteen
Speaker 3: and that annoys her. So but I do not eat
Speaker 3: frosted flakes loud, right, yeah?
Speaker 6: That?
Speaker 3: And then there's also I mean, it's basically any cereal.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's really not a silent cereal, so just
Speaker 3: skip that meal. I guess maybe it's just your your ears,
Speaker 3: because think about this. You like your Instagram jammed up
Speaker 3: really loud, and you like your cereal loud? Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: don't you like your TV loud? That's just how I
Speaker 3: always ate growing up. So I didn't know you're supposed
Speaker 3: to like keep your mouth closed. That's maybe more manner thing,
Speaker 3: are you, Tarzan? Well, when I'm by myself. Why does
Speaker 3: it matter if I close my mouth.
Speaker 5: While I eat? You're not by yourself anymore?
Speaker 3: Again, are you? Tarzan?
Speaker 9: When is another room? And but your Instagram saying that
Speaker 9: is annoying. My wife does that and it drives me nuts.
Speaker 2: Mine.
Speaker 3: Mostly I keep it on mute unless I'm a bed
Speaker 3: and accidentally hit it. Not that it's loud. She's like,
Speaker 3: why do you have the ball? She'll be asleep and
Speaker 3: I'm just scrolling. It's fine.
Speaker 6: You're not even listening to anything. You're just watching, Like,
Speaker 6: how do you know what's going on?
Speaker 3: Why do I care what they have to say? I
Speaker 3: just watch and now they put subtitles and everything. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: sometimes the little speaker round.
Speaker 6: Oh, it's like you're reading a book. Yeah, not really
Speaker 6: doesn't count, No, it doesn't count.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 4: Last week, Cody Johnson won a big CMA Award and
Speaker 4: afterwards his phone totally blew up with text messages of
Speaker 4: congratulations and excitement, which was awesome, but he got super overwhelmed,
Speaker 4: so it encouraged the show to share it. The last
Speaker 4: time their phone blew up over something that happened in their.
Speaker 3: Lives number five. We got a really cool Cody Johnson
Speaker 3: story for you.
Speaker 6: Take it.
Speaker 3: So, Cody's cell phone blew up to the point, but
Speaker 3: he had handed off to his wife after he won
Speaker 3: out Album of the Year at the CMA's Here he
Speaker 3: is talking about that.
Speaker 11: I literally gave my phone to Brandy and said, I
Speaker 11: can't take it anymore because there's like one hundred and
Speaker 11: five text messages on there, and I have no clue
Speaker 11: who they're from. So I'll decipher through that almost sixteen
Speaker 11: hour ride.
Speaker 10: Back to Texas.
Speaker 3: So on congratic Cody. That's awesome too. What was the
Speaker 3: moment in your life that was your phone blew up?
Speaker 3: Moment can be good or bad, but but all of
Speaker 3: a sudden you look at you like, holy crap. I
Speaker 3: got a lot of text messages, Amy, I'll go to
Speaker 3: you first.
Speaker 6: Gosh. Just a recent one for me would probably be
Speaker 6: when we announced that I was getting divorced on air.
Speaker 3: People were texting you after that. Yeah, I heard the set, Like,
Speaker 3: what was the comments?
Speaker 6: I think it was people in our inner circle. Knew
Speaker 6: people close, especially in Nashville, but just so many people
Speaker 6: you know, being from Austin and Ron Air there and
Speaker 6: so many people that I grew up with, and they
Speaker 6: just weren't aware because we kept it so like to
Speaker 6: our tight group. And I just started to get random
Speaker 6: texts of support and just thinking of y'all praying for you,
Speaker 6: and I.
Speaker 3: Was like, oh, guess why she's over it?
Speaker 6: Yeah, or hey, we went through the same thing, like
Speaker 6: let me know how I can help you all. So
Speaker 6: I think that that tops the list for some stuff.
Speaker 3: Lunchbox, your phone blowing up moment.
Speaker 9: It's easy as when I'm we're in the marathon without
Speaker 9: any training.
Speaker 2: I mean, people didn't think I could do it.
Speaker 9: And when I got done, I mean I had so
Speaker 9: many text messages took me a couple of days to
Speaker 9: respond if I responded, just people saying what a beast
Speaker 9: I was.
Speaker 2: And you know you.
Speaker 6: Write by the way, you know what year though, twenty ten?
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe fourteen year Moregan wasn't born yet, Eddie. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think when I did my walk from West Virginia
Speaker 5: to Tennessee. But it was cool because like when you're walking,
Speaker 5: you know, twenty five miles a day, like you have
Speaker 5: nothing else to do. So when people were texting, it
Speaker 5: was cool. I'd text back, but I got lots of texts.
Speaker 5: I think I was texting the whole time. Then when
Speaker 5: at the end of the day we were at the hotel,
Speaker 5: I just responded more texts. A lot of texts came
Speaker 5: in that time.
Speaker 3: If you knew Eddie walked from West Virginia to Tennessee
Speaker 3: just like the song, because he came on there going
Speaker 3: that's not that far right and so over like then
Speaker 3: do it. And he raised a couple hundred thousand bucks.
Speaker 5: It was amazing for foster children.
Speaker 3: And his foot still hurts. He has an injury in
Speaker 3: his foot.
Speaker 5: A sacrifice, yeah, hey for the kids, man, sacrifice for
Speaker 5: the kids.
Speaker 3: I don't think you knew your foot was going to
Speaker 3: be hurt, but I think, yeah, that's one mine is
Speaker 3: whenever I want dancing with the stars.
Speaker 6: Oh for sure.
Speaker 3: I didn't even know something people were that were texting me,
Speaker 3: and I hate red dots, so I spent out right
Speaker 3: afterwards just trying to clear it all and then I
Speaker 3: just copy and paste, hey, hey man, thanks. But then
Speaker 3: I realized everybody wasn't a man, and I was said,
Speaker 3: hey man, I know all.
Speaker 6: Three of y'alls are all physically taxing. I guess mine
Speaker 6: was emotionally taxing.
Speaker 3: I think mine was more emotionally taxing physically though that show.
Speaker 5: You did hurt you.
Speaker 3: It was a lot more on my brain.
Speaker 6: Okay, well then we're good. I'm like, well, I need
Speaker 6: to go do something active.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 4: A debate on The Bobby Bone Show. This week it
Speaker 4: was all about Christmas cards. Bobby is not a fan,
Speaker 4: somebody else on the show is not a big fan.
Speaker 4: And is anybody on the show a Christmas card cinder?
Speaker 4: That's what we found out. A very interesting Christmas holiday.
Speaker 6: Debate for you.
Speaker 1: Number four.
Speaker 3: I'm starting to get Christmas cards in my house and
Speaker 3: I don't hate them, right, I'll love them, but I
Speaker 3: don't hate them because I don't get a lot of
Speaker 3: mail at the house. That's not a bill. So open
Speaker 3: it up. We do our thing. We've set it up
Speaker 3: on the counter. Now at the end of Christmas, is
Speaker 3: it okay to take your arm and dump them all
Speaker 3: in the trash can? Yes? Okay, everybody goet on that. Yes, okay,
Speaker 3: how about this? What if you don't know them that well,
Speaker 3: you just mildly know them and somehow you get a
Speaker 3: Christmas card from them, like there are people that don't
Speaker 3: make our counter we just don the trash immediately. Am
Speaker 3: I going to help for that?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 5: Okay, good, you're good man.
Speaker 2: I'm okay with it.
Speaker 3: Next up, why would they send me a Christmas card?
Speaker 2: Great question?
Speaker 6: Well maybe they just an amount to anybody that encounter.
Speaker 3: They seem expensive.
Speaker 6: Well i'd not even just well, okay, but you're making
Speaker 6: the cards. That's the extensive part of like getting I know,
Speaker 6: but printing an extra one, that's not the expensive part
Speaker 6: to me. It's the time that went into figuring out
Speaker 6: your address, filling it out, adding you to the list.
Speaker 3: Okay, let me run this by you a friend, I
Speaker 3: would say, a friend, and I wish I wouldn't have
Speaker 3: responded like this, So I'd also like to preface with
Speaker 3: I do. I'm not proud of my response, but it
Speaker 3: was my reaction more so than me trying to prove
Speaker 3: a point with Christmas cards. Because my wife and I
Speaker 3: we don't send out Christmas cards. We don't have kids yet,
Speaker 3: she's not pregnant. But every time I say that, I
Speaker 3: need to say that we don't say Christmas cards out
Speaker 3: and she probably maybe did it as a family, but
Speaker 3: we never did that. I had a friend text me
Speaker 3: and go, hey, I need your address. I want to
Speaker 3: send you a Christmas card. And I replied back, Oh,
Speaker 3: don't worry about sendingyone. I already know what you're up to.
Speaker 6: No, that's that's not just I know with your address. Okay,
Speaker 6: and I should have I mean, if you friend that
Speaker 6: you want, yeah.
Speaker 5: I'm getting the same card. I didn't even ask questions
Speaker 5: like in the address.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because what do you ask for the question?
Speaker 3: By the way, love them? Yeah, great, guy, don't I
Speaker 3: don't want a Christmas card from him. He's my friend.
Speaker 3: It's like if Eddie goes once in your Christmas card? Why, dude,
Speaker 3: I see your whole family like every Tuesday.
Speaker 5: I'm right there.
Speaker 3: Am I just a hater? And I'm trying to break
Speaker 3: out of my hater of the holidays. I have a
Speaker 3: lot of good holidays growing up. I don't think I'm
Speaker 3: a hater hater of the holidays, which I used to be.
Speaker 3: But am I just a hater of the holidays? And
Speaker 3: don't understand that I'm just supposed to be like I
Speaker 3: welcome all love and pay per form.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, Yeah, you're not a hater. Of the holiday though,
Speaker 5: you're just a hater of the cards in a car.
Speaker 3: Eventually, maybe I'll be Christmas card guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but like, okay, if he's if this is a
Speaker 6: guy where he's married or has kids, or it's not that.
Speaker 3: But they've got to have Instagram.
Speaker 6: But that's their thing, that's what they do. If that's
Speaker 6: their thing, and people that mail out cards, it's their
Speaker 6: thing and they want to send it.
Speaker 5: Out, that'll never be you, bones, Yeah, it's not me
Speaker 5: for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very much. I'm just saving this because it very
Speaker 3: much well could be.
Speaker 6: But it's not gonna be you. It's gonna be your
Speaker 6: wife possibly, Yeah, you're not gonna You're not spearheading the
Speaker 6: We need to take our Christmas photos and learn her millmo.
Speaker 9: And unfortunately you get lumped in because then someone gets
Speaker 9: them like, oh you send me a Christmas card.
Speaker 2: I didn't send it. My wife's in it. I'm not
Speaker 2: part of that crack.
Speaker 3: Around the room. Then who sends out Christmas cards with
Speaker 3: pictures of their family?
Speaker 6: Amy've always wanted to be that person, and I'm just not.
Speaker 3: Okay, you've wanted to be it's one held you back
Speaker 3: or you just haven't.
Speaker 6: Like yeah, no, I don't have the whatever it is
Speaker 6: the organization of like doing all that and wanting to
Speaker 6: gather everybody's stuff and send that out.
Speaker 3: Nope, lunchbox.
Speaker 2: My wife did it for the first time last Christmas.
Speaker 2: I was not a part of it. I was not
Speaker 2: a willing participant. I didn't picture.
Speaker 9: Oh, she just took pictures from throughout the year, like
Speaker 9: got it, got it, Like, we didn't take specific picture
Speaker 9: And I did not get her one single address. If
Speaker 9: she wanted an address, she founded herself. But I am
Speaker 9: lumped in and I hate it every minute of it.
Speaker 9: Why because it's just so stupid. It's a waste of paper,
Speaker 9: it's a waste of space, it's so much garbage. They're
Speaker 9: so expensive, it's just not worth it.
Speaker 3: As a hater hater, that's a hater hater.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 3: Another one when people write like because not all but
Speaker 3: i'd say like a fifth of them, twenty percent of
Speaker 3: them have like in the card, like an update on
Speaker 3: like how everybody's doing, like a little bit.
Speaker 6: That's for family.
Speaker 3: Am I wrong for being annoyed by that?
Speaker 6: No, but I think it's for people that really want
Speaker 6: to know those updates, like family members, so they just
Speaker 6: go ahead and throw it into everybody.
Speaker 3: The ones that we've gotten, I don't evenally know the
Speaker 3: people they're like I.
Speaker 6: Know, and it's like Lucy started her freshman year at college.
Speaker 2: And from I don't know Lucy, Jack played on two
Speaker 2: soccer teams. It's like, I don't care about Jack.
Speaker 3: We don't want to be a hater. I'm not trying
Speaker 3: to be a hater. I did not bring them to
Speaker 3: be a hater. I'm just asking the protocol. If his
Speaker 3: friend goes, can I melt, what's your address? And you go,
Speaker 3: don't worry about it. I don't need I'm good. I
Speaker 3: didn't mean that to me. And I don't care or
Speaker 3: love you or like you. It means you don't worry
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 6: I'm sure they were like, this is literally the first
Speaker 6: time we've ever gotten those responds.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I never sent my dress Eddie sent cards.
Speaker 5: Now, No, no chance, dude. I can't stand those things.
Speaker 3: Family as your family. Growing up, it seemed like christ
Speaker 3: card family.
Speaker 2: No, we never send out Christmas cards to the family.
Speaker 4: I did send out a Christmas card of me and
Speaker 4: my dog one year, and.
Speaker 3: Then it was too much work. I gave up on it.
Speaker 3: To how many people like twenty it's just like my
Speaker 3: good friends.
Speaker 6: But there's no update or anything.
Speaker 1: There's literally just.
Speaker 3: A picture of me and my dog and Christmas stuff.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this, I'm gonna I mean this. I
Speaker 3: hope I'm a Christmas card guy in the next three
Speaker 3: or four years.
Speaker 10: You won't be.
Speaker 3: I hope why because I want to be that.
Speaker 2: Those people.
Speaker 3: That means I don't have any dead noness in my
Speaker 3: heart anymore.
Speaker 6: It's not about that, it's about the time. I want
Speaker 6: to be that guy an organization good.
Speaker 12: You guys say that Christmas card only my mom because
Speaker 12: she cares and no one else my family gives the crap.
Speaker 12: So I just sent him to her to keep her happy.
Speaker 3: So he sent her one card.
Speaker 12: I sent her one card, used me for her my
Speaker 12: grandmother until she passed, but just my mom and I
Speaker 12: sent her a card for every holiday, anything from Valentine's
Speaker 12: Day up to her birthday to the start of summer.
Speaker 2: She loves cards.
Speaker 3: Oh, you sent her cards all time, all the time.
Speaker 3: You know what, I would think I would like them
Speaker 3: a little more if I opened it and a gift
Speaker 3: card fell out. Let's change that culture. What's a Christmas card.
Speaker 3: I think I like it better.
Speaker 6: You know, you were talking about throwing away at the
Speaker 6: start of this, which I do think that is okay.
Speaker 6: But do you know there's some people that have kept
Speaker 6: every Christmas card they've ever been given through the years.
Speaker 3: Hoarders.
Speaker 6: Yeah. No, but there is a key way to do it.
Speaker 6: Like there's these big silver rings like you can buy
Speaker 6: like teachers. You should use them for like note cards
Speaker 6: and stuff.
Speaker 3: You buy those and your key of cards.
Speaker 6: Sure you will punch each card and then you put
Speaker 6: it on there and they're organized by year. And I
Speaker 6: thought that's a brilliant little hack for if you're someone
Speaker 6: that likes.
Speaker 3: To keep them like losers. To me, however, no like
Speaker 3: that because you can look bad. My goal is to
Speaker 3: be a loser. I would love to be a loser
Speaker 3: like that. Both ways, I'm saving them, I'm sending them,
Speaker 3: that's the goal. But I'm standing by how I feel
Speaker 3: right now, and I just had some questions about it.
Speaker 3: But I feel like we're all a little bahumbug for
Speaker 3: different reasons.
Speaker 6: I wonder why none of us are Christmas card people.
Speaker 5: Because we're normal.
Speaker 2: We're normal.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number two.
Speaker 4: Bobby shared some insight into the whole CMA Awards and
Speaker 4: Shaboozy controversy. So, in case you missed it, Chaboozi did
Speaker 4: not win Single of the Year for his song of
Speaker 4: Our Song, and it was kind of controversial because everybody
Speaker 4: really thought that one was gonna win and it did not.
Speaker 4: So Bobby gave some perspective on why it's possible it
Speaker 4: didn't win, and just award shows in general.
Speaker 3: Number three, So Shabboozi did not win.
Speaker 13: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think he was out for a couple of awards.
Speaker 3: The one that I felt and I picked I thought
Speaker 3: he should win would have been the Single of the Year. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and sometimes they get Single of the Year and Song
Speaker 3: of the Year mixed up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that it's confusing.
Speaker 3: But there was another one like new Artist or something.
Speaker 3: I didn't think he should win that because he had
Speaker 3: one song. Now he had one song. There was a
Speaker 3: massive one song.
Speaker 5: I mean it is so.
Speaker 3: I see people and their upset that he didn't win. Now,
Speaker 3: this is why i'd like to say for Chaboozi. By
Speaker 3: the way, Shaboozi has a song baby wants a Burken.
Speaker 3: I'm alone not long, you know, the wone two. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna mix up him, Jason. Now let's talk about the
Speaker 3: award shows for a second. So he did not win
Speaker 3: Single of the Year. I picked him to win Single
Speaker 3: of the Year. He did not win, But I'm not upset.
Speaker 3: Everybody in their own way deserves it. I think Chris
Speaker 3: Stapleton White Horse won and you can never look at
Speaker 3: Stapleton and go you don't deserve it. But based on Dada,
Speaker 3: I thought Shaboozy was gonna win. He didn't. Now if
Speaker 3: you look back at last year Entertainer of the Year
Speaker 3: based on Dada, you gotta thought last year Morgan Wallen
Speaker 3: would have won that because he probably should have based
Speaker 3: on everything else. He didn't. If you look back at
Speaker 3: Dan and Shay a couple of years ago when they
Speaker 3: were up for Duo of the Year and they had
Speaker 3: every data point, songs, touring, streaming, they didn't. You know
Speaker 3: what happened though, they won the next year because these
Speaker 3: award shows a lot of times are a year behind. Now,
Speaker 3: the problem with Single of the Year is you gotta
Speaker 3: put out another big single, where like New Artists, he
Speaker 3: could be up for that again if he puts out
Speaker 3: a couple of songs. You could win that one, but
Speaker 3: everyone's upset and at times are going, well, this is
Speaker 3: a race thing. Oh, I don't believe in this instance
Speaker 3: this is a race thing because it is so common
Speaker 3: with all of the layers of these award shows, especially
Speaker 3: CMA's which are more of the traditional awards show. Another
Speaker 3: thing I'd like to point out, and I'll bring in
Speaker 3: walker Hey, is the Applebee's song apple bee Usually eating
Speaker 3: apple Bee's. That song was massive. I don't think it
Speaker 3: won an award. Now. It may have, but it didn't
Speaker 3: win like Single of the Year, I don't think. And
Speaker 3: you can fact check me on this now here is
Speaker 3: why that song didn't win because it took forever to
Speaker 3: convince all these man well that ain't country program directors
Speaker 3: to play that song. And so by the time they
Speaker 3: were forced to play it because of its success, it
Speaker 3: became a monster hit. I'm still talking about Applebee's Okay.
Speaker 6: Yeah, fancy like thank you yeah on a dating night
Speaker 6: at Applebee's.
Speaker 3: So by the time it was a massive hit. Do
Speaker 3: you think those same program directors who fought at the
Speaker 3: whole time are then going to vote for it to
Speaker 3: win any sort of award. No, because they fought it
Speaker 3: the whole time. Now, let's fast forward that to Chaboozy.
Speaker 3: The same thing happened. Like we're playing Shaboozi on our
Speaker 3: show and their stage's not even playing it because they're like, well,
Speaker 3: my am a lot, I ain't country. So do you
Speaker 3: think those guys are gonna go vote for it? Then,
Speaker 3: even though it's a massive hit, either're gonna vote for
Speaker 3: it if they fought it for so long, No chance?
Speaker 6: Okay, that helps it make sense for me because I
Speaker 6: was confused, and I was happy for Chris Stapleton too.
Speaker 3: I mentioned my love for Cristapleton.
Speaker 6: Yes, I think it's because it went to Chris Stapleton,
Speaker 6: because I even heard some like when they announced it,
Speaker 6: I think everyone thought of this is gonna be Shaboozie.
Speaker 6: I heard some noises like what, But then because it
Speaker 6: was Chris Stapleton, it was like, oh, well then yes,
Speaker 6: because we love him and he's amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just want to play with this beard. So
Speaker 3: here's the thing. There's two examples of I hate to
Speaker 3: say precedent because but it is what it is, of
Speaker 3: people that have overwhelming data to support that they should
Speaker 3: win that award and it doesn't happen, and then there's
Speaker 3: outrage in the next year it happens. Morgan Wallen last
Speaker 3: year Entertainer of the Year. This year he wanted I
Speaker 3: talked about Dan and Shay happened to them. Then they
Speaker 3: want it the same Shaboozi. If he had another massive
Speaker 3: single and it was up again, he would win it
Speaker 3: because people would go like, oh, he got screwed last year.
Speaker 3: And then also the do you think the people are
Speaker 3: going to vote for it that fought it for so long? No,
Speaker 3: Walker Hay syndrome. I hope he doesn't mind having a
Speaker 3: syndrome named after him. So that's all I want to
Speaker 3: put all that out there. I want to say, Jelly Roll,
Speaker 3: like I felt that, and I'm happy for you. I
Speaker 3: don't care who you voted for. Like, let's let's now
Speaker 3: that things are in place, I hope everybody like finds
Speaker 3: a way to like match and do the best we
Speaker 3: can to get through the next four years. Yeah, it
Speaker 3: didn't matter, It didn't matter, like it is happening now,
Speaker 3: so let's just hope for the best. And two, sh Boozy,
Speaker 3: I felt like you should have won. I said that publicly,
Speaker 3: and that's why. Also, I think why I can say
Speaker 3: this without people going, oh, look at you. I did
Speaker 3: say I thought Schboozy would and should win, except I
Speaker 3: love Chris Tableton. And then also when you just look
Speaker 3: logically at it, you think the people are going to
Speaker 3: vote for it, that fought it for so long. No,
Speaker 3: they're not a country, maam. Can I have this dance
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh and you and you grew up on a hip
Speaker 3: hop station.
Speaker 6: Hopefully people can mature and realize, like, oh, maybe I
Speaker 6: was wrong about this.
Speaker 3: By the way, I love Pittsburgh. I'm not even talking
Speaker 3: about Casper our program direct because he's my guy. Probably
Speaker 3: I think I like, I just went toward a city
Speaker 3: I love in the Northeast and then did a hip
Speaker 3: hop station. Yeah, that's all I wanted to say. I'm off,
Speaker 3: I'm clear now. And then oh yeah, and also I
Speaker 3: was talking about that on my TikTok last night. And
Speaker 3: sometimes I just get there and I'd have a shirt on.
Speaker 3: But I didn't like show anything except there's a occjunal nip.
Speaker 6: Slip, but not really it's lest your collar bone or what.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty hot in the collar bone. Hey you
Speaker 3: got a olliver bone fetish, go get it. My TikTok,
Speaker 3: which is the same as everything else, mister Bobby Belle.
Speaker 3: As I go into that, and I also talk about
Speaker 3: the perfect awards scenario, meaning, god, this is so boring,
Speaker 3: but an awards show, none of them are exactly right
Speaker 3: because it's impossible. You can't have like I work as
Speaker 3: part of the ACMs on the broadcast crew, so I'm
Speaker 3: not even gonna act like I'm not biased. I love
Speaker 3: the ACMs. I'm on the show with Amazon CMAS. They
Speaker 3: won't have me anymore, but I still like them. They
Speaker 3: could give us an award. I mean, kind of black
Speaker 3: ball from the CMAS, but I still, you know, I
Speaker 3: still like them. What they do is it's a it's
Speaker 3: not a panel. It is a massive body of records,
Speaker 3: record people, management, radio people. It's such a massive body
Speaker 3: you can't really influence it just by going we choose this.
Speaker 3: It's massive, right, Same thing with ACMs. If you were
Speaker 3: do like a fan vote, well that's bull crap because
Speaker 3: it's just the most famous artist win. You would have
Speaker 3: those bts winning all the country awards, even they're a
Speaker 3: K pop man, so just at the fan groups would win.
Speaker 3: So there is no perfect award show system. So accept
Speaker 3: it as that it really doesn't mean anything. And even
Speaker 3: the Grammys until recently, they could overturn it, overturn a vote.
Speaker 3: Everybody could vote. If you're a Grammy voter, they could
Speaker 3: overturn it. But with a little panel. There is no
Speaker 3: perfect awards show system. The only way we would do
Speaker 3: it is if we voted on like twenty five people.
Speaker 3: Let's say all of us that were members voted on
Speaker 3: like twenty five people to represent us to vote, and
Speaker 3: then that would be like the House of Representative of
Speaker 3: the Senate. Yeah, we see how that's working, don't we Ida.
Speaker 6: That's all I got to lose sleep over.
Speaker 3: I haven't either. I just see a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Some people get real mad, claiming like Matta Jelly all
Speaker 3: for cerain reason. They're mad at Shaboozie or they're like, hey,
Speaker 3: it's a race thing, and I'm like, Boozy performed, and
Speaker 3: I would like, hey, if you're a race thing, I'd
Speaker 3: be screaming it. I promise, I promised to God I
Speaker 3: would be here going not cool. But I think it's
Speaker 3: a it's an awards show thing, and it's a that
Speaker 3: song was traditional country finger quotes whatever that is, and
Speaker 3: just like Walker Hayes wasn't traditional country whatever that is,
Speaker 3: and so you you're not gonna have people supporting it
Speaker 3: when they didn't support it so much upfront. That's the
Speaker 3: inside baseball minute here on the country music show Good Stuff.
Speaker 3: Now play some Tupac or something anyway, that's it.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 4: Number two, Amy's daughter got into a fender bender in
Speaker 4: her driveway, which I know, a little crazy, but not
Speaker 4: only that, this fender bender is going to cost a
Speaker 4: whole lot of money. Amy's going to share what happened
Speaker 4: and why it's going to be a little pricey.
Speaker 3: Number two, did your daughter we're in somebody?
Speaker 6: Yeah? In my driveway? Oh yeah. So it's just like
Speaker 6: normally there's not a car there, and she was leaving
Speaker 6: for work and sort of in a hurry.
Speaker 3: And didn't look back because she's usually there's not a
Speaker 3: car there.
Speaker 6: Totally not a car there, which is such a bummer
Speaker 6: because it is a newer Toyota. So the bumper. All
Speaker 6: she did was dent the bumper. It's like it's like
Speaker 6: that's something like a big dentt And because newer cars
Speaker 6: now have all the sensors and the cameras and everything.
Speaker 6: This is the most expensive bumper known to man.
Speaker 3: Back in the good old days, you just get a
Speaker 3: new bumper, right, go over to the junk yard, find
Speaker 3: you a similar bumper.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is not the good old days anymore. Like
Speaker 6: the damage was so like we thought, okay, because she's
Speaker 6: been working and saving money, and so I was like, well,
Speaker 6: this is one of those things that may go towards that.
Speaker 6: No way she'd have to work for like the entire year,
Speaker 6: eight thousand dollars A yes, on a camera, a new
Speaker 6: one because of the it's because all of the sensors
Speaker 6: and the like, everything that was there and that bumper
Speaker 6: and then kind of like where it was with the
Speaker 6: trunk part, I don't know. So we filed through insurance
Speaker 6: and now she's going to pay the deductible.
Speaker 10: How much was the whole camera?
Speaker 3: The bumper has got to be get part of the
Speaker 3: whole car.
Speaker 6: So, but I guess that's where they have a lot
Speaker 6: of like probably anything down below were surrounding the car
Speaker 6: is where all those sensors are. You at the front bumper,
Speaker 6: the back bumper, This happened to be the back and
Speaker 6: but she's gonna she's covering the deductible and then she's
Speaker 6: gonna cover whatever our monthly insurance goes up.
Speaker 3: You know. It trips me out because Mahondai it has
Speaker 3: this thing where if you're backing up, obviously it has
Speaker 3: the camera on it. Yeah, which I don't I'm be honest,
Speaker 3: I shouldn't say this. I don't even turn my head
Speaker 3: around look back anymore. I just go all camera because
Speaker 3: it is the camera so good, so I just back.
Speaker 3: I don't even whatever. Secondly, I don't know how they
Speaker 3: do that thing where they can like see everything around
Speaker 3: you from the top.
Speaker 5: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: You ever see that in a car? And Mohanda has
Speaker 3: that too, where it's like it shows you like.
Speaker 6: Like an aerial view.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got a helicopter above me watching.
Speaker 6: How do they do that?
Speaker 5: There is I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do you ever see that?
Speaker 6: Yeah? But how did they do that?
Speaker 3: How do they do?
Speaker 5: They get all the cameras and they put them, they
Speaker 5: merge them together top. I know, but you have cameras
Speaker 5: in every point of your car, so you emergees together
Speaker 5: and they put a fake car in the midd it's
Speaker 5: not really your car.
Speaker 6: Oh shrifts me out, roll the window down, stick your
Speaker 6: arm out and see if you see it in the video, you.
Speaker 5: Will because the car is going to catch it.
Speaker 3: Oh gonna catch an arm going out? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Man, Okay, it is cool.
Speaker 3: Though I messed the good old days, but that checks
Speaker 3: me out.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 4: Number two, Blake Shelton stoped by the show. Now Amy
Speaker 4: is the one to interview him because this is a
Speaker 4: day that Bobby had to leave if he was not
Speaker 4: feeling well at all, so Amy took over the interview.
Speaker 4: We found out a lot of things about Blake, not
Speaker 4: only that he participated in pageants when he was a kid,
Speaker 4: but also the story behind him stopping a drunk intruder
Speaker 4: at one of his family member's houses, and just fun
Speaker 4: conversation all the way around. You know what's also funny
Speaker 4: is during CMA Remotes, which was pre CMA Awards, I
Speaker 4: talked to Blake for a few minutes and I told
Speaker 4: him that he reminded me of Vince Spawn. Not only
Speaker 4: do they kind of look similar, but they're both super
Speaker 4: super tall and their sense of humor is so similar.
Speaker 4: When he was sitting in the studio, I kept being like,
Speaker 4: who does he remind me of this is so similar.
Speaker 4: You know when you feel like deja vu, like you've
Speaker 4: met this person or like you've experienced this person before.
Speaker 3: That is what it was.
Speaker 4: Blake Shelton is Vince fond and nobody is gonna convince
Speaker 4: me otherwise.
Speaker 1: Number one on the Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 6: Now, Blake Shelton, we're.
Speaker 3: Gonna play the full interview Amy did with Blake Shelton.
Speaker 3: You did a great job. It's excellent.
Speaker 6: Oh thank you.
Speaker 3: If you're like, why was Bobby there? This was day
Speaker 3: one in my stomach bug and I missed a whole
Speaker 3: lot this day, and I was sad to miss Blake.
Speaker 3: But Amy's awesome, so it was easy for me to leave.
Speaker 3: But here is Amy with Blake Shelton here on the
Speaker 3: Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 6: So, Blake. People Magazine they just came out with their
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four Sexiest Man Alive. Oh please, yeah, they did,
Speaker 6: they did, and so of course we decided to do
Speaker 6: a country version, so are like, hey, sexiest men in
Speaker 6: country music? And we came up with a whole list.
Speaker 6: And so now, I mean, since you literally were one
Speaker 6: of People Magazine's sexiest men ever, who who do you
Speaker 6: think is the sexiest man in country music.
Speaker 10: You have to lower the bar, you know, in general
Speaker 10: when you're talking about these guys. Know I'm talking about
Speaker 10: all of us country. You don't think thee No, not
Speaker 10: any of the ones that I know personally like that,
Speaker 10: because I'm thinking, you know, there's a whole new generation
Speaker 10: coming up that I don't even know what they look like.
Speaker 10: I know their names, I see their music comes on
Speaker 10: the radio, all that stuff, but I don't know what
Speaker 10: they look like. I do know what guys like Luke
Speaker 10: Bryan looks like and Jason Aldan, and they're ugly. To me,
Speaker 10: I'm not I don't find them attractive. You know, h
Speaker 10: really lower the bar. Say what Sam Hunt?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 10: He's better looking than than than Luke and Jason. Apparently
Speaker 10: he must be high on your list. If you just
Speaker 10: kind of hurl him out there like that. You got
Speaker 10: a little bit defensive. I know about Sam, But about
Speaker 10: Sam Hunt looking, I'll give that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 10: No, Riley Green, Uh is it mustache rap much?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 10: Yeah? Far better than Luke?
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like you like think
Speaker 6: these guys are high, you're just scared to say it. Uh.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 6: Like Lunchbucks, for example. He says he cannot tell if
Speaker 6: a man is attractive or not.
Speaker 10: What I mean, what's wrong with that?
Speaker 6: Well, I've been thinking about you a lot, blake, and
Speaker 6: uh I saw that Old Red. There's this. I don't
Speaker 6: know if it's a new concoction, maybe it's been on
Speaker 6: there a while, but it's a pamina cheese artichoke dip.
Speaker 6: Are you familiar No, Okay, well that's incredible. It's on
Speaker 6: your menu at all, Red. And it got me thinking
Speaker 6: about weird food combos and if you have any that
Speaker 6: you'll admit to that you eat at home, Like, are
Speaker 6: there any concoctions? You're like, this is weird, but it's
Speaker 6: just so good.
Speaker 10: Well, my brothers when I was a little kid, uh
Speaker 10: my other used to mix like this regular like pancakes
Speaker 10: syrup with peanut butter and mix that and put it
Speaker 10: on a piece of bread. I don't even know if
Speaker 10: it had a name. We used to call it mix
Speaker 10: and that was our treat when we were kids. Regular
Speaker 10: like maple you know whatever, Griffins whatever, syrup and peanut butter.
Speaker 6: Do you ever eat mix like now as an adult?
Speaker 10: No, that's but I haven't thought about it. In years.
Speaker 10: I remember one time we used to have dars where uh,
Speaker 10: we would try to, like you know, as kids, like
Speaker 10: mix up the grossest crap you can think of, you know,
Speaker 10: to eat like a combination of something and then dare
Speaker 10: you know, it's whoever's turn it was, had to eat it.
Speaker 10: And I watched my sister eat mayonnaise and and Nestle's
Speaker 10: Quick one time mixed together. Oh gosh, it's still it's
Speaker 10: still to this day is horrifying to me.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, no, that's not a good agree.
Speaker 5: That's gross. Man, that's disgusting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had to eat.
Speaker 6: She's gross. Yeah, I did. We would. I think all
Speaker 6: kids did that. And one time I mixed up a
Speaker 6: bunch of like really good ingredients from the fridge but
Speaker 6: with dirt, and my mom thought I was wasting food,
Speaker 6: so she made me eat it.
Speaker 10: Oh wow, yeah, how was it?
Speaker 6: It's disgusting.
Speaker 3: So I don't, I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't recommend that, you know. I decided to ask
Speaker 6: AI like to describe Blake Shelton in three words? Do
Speaker 6: you want to know the three?
Speaker 10: Sure?
Speaker 6: Charismatic, Oh okay, authentic, and hilarious. Man, I love I
Speaker 6: love right, Yeah, I feel very complimentary.
Speaker 10: Because that made me nervous because AI only knows to
Speaker 10: tell the truth, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, which speaking of while I do have some
Speaker 6: fun facts about you, I have no idea if they're
Speaker 6: actually true or not, so you could say, if.
Speaker 10: They are, where did you get these facts from the internet? Okay,
Speaker 10: well it's just like google it, you know, like love Wikipedia.
Speaker 6: Are you you're not into bare feet? Like to bare
Speaker 6: feet freak you out? Uh?
Speaker 10: Uh yeah?
Speaker 6: So like you always have socks on, or like if
Speaker 6: you're with people, they have to have socks on.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 10: I think this started. Uh, I don't know when it was.
Speaker 10: There was a trend and it may still be going.
Speaker 10: You know, in country music there was a handful of
Speaker 10: artists that they would perform in their bare feet, like
Speaker 10: walk out on a festival stage and and and in
Speaker 10: their bare feet, and and it kind of started there.
Speaker 10: For me, it's like, man, what what are you doing?
Speaker 10: You know, it's not it's not as much about that
Speaker 10: it's someone's foot, because I mean, who cares about that?
Speaker 10: But it's like what if there's an emergency? And then
Speaker 10: it switched into uh, guys wearing flip flops That really
Speaker 10: started bothering me. The older I got that, Buffett started off. Yeah,
Speaker 10: it's like if there's emergency, that's pretty much you have
Speaker 10: shown yourself to be the guy that's not going to
Speaker 10: help anybody in the room. Like if there's a fire,
Speaker 10: something's going on, you can't help. You got on your
Speaker 10: flip flops. You got to go save yourself.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a good point.
Speaker 10: And this guy's in here wearing our cowboy boots will
Speaker 10: help get the children out of the building.
Speaker 6: So do you not own a pair of flip flops?
Speaker 10: Oh god, no, So do you?
Speaker 6: Well, you only wear cowboy boots. And like maybe running shoes.
Speaker 5: What about like crocs.
Speaker 10: I'm a big runner, but I do I have shoes
Speaker 10: and boots.
Speaker 6: Like running would be the running shoes would come in
Speaker 6: handy on an.
Speaker 10: A pair of flip flops.
Speaker 6: Okay, right, what do you do for you know, working
Speaker 6: out treadmill?
Speaker 10: I'll get I get on treadmill for like thirty minutes
Speaker 10: or maybe forty five minutes. I do like it's like
Speaker 10: a combination like walk for twenty eight minutes and then
Speaker 10: mix in like thirty seconds of runs here and there.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, next fun fact that we don't know if
Speaker 6: it's true or not. You once caught an intruder at
Speaker 6: your uncle's house and detained the drunken man yourself until
Speaker 6: the police arrived.
Speaker 10: Let's go, Well, it detained him was? You know, It's
Speaker 10: not like I had him down on the floor and
Speaker 10: you know, saying don't move, you know. It was more
Speaker 10: like and drunk. I think he had a lot of
Speaker 10: stuff in his system, you know. And I really think
Speaker 10: he thought in his mind that's where he lived, you know.
Speaker 6: And and.
Speaker 10: And so my uncle, who was special needs, he called
Speaker 10: and said, hey, you know, there's this guy in my
Speaker 10: house and he's just like sitting on the couch saying,
Speaker 10: you know, he lives here. And so my initial thought was,
Speaker 10: you know what's going on over there? And I went
Speaker 10: and knocked on my uncle's I can't even believe I'm
Speaker 10: telling this. I hadn't thought about this in fifteen years
Speaker 10: or more. And the guy answered the or as if
Speaker 10: it was his house, like yeah, can I help you?
Speaker 10: And it's like, yeah, get the hell out of this house.
Speaker 5: You know, what are you doing?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 10: And he's like, what are you talking about? I go,
Speaker 10: you know what I'm talking about, like one of those deals.
Speaker 10: And meanwhile the police are coming, and I just kept
Speaker 10: him entertained, you know, until they got there.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm glad you clarified it, because I definitely was
Speaker 6: picturing you, like sitting on top of him, no, entertaining
Speaker 6: like citizens arrest. What was that me?
Speaker 5: Entertaining? You didn't sing a song or anything, did you?
Speaker 10: I may have. I don't know. I just pulled up everything.
Speaker 6: You know. You think when that guy sobered up, he's like, huh,
Speaker 6: so Blake Shelton just came over.
Speaker 10: No, I don't. I think even sober, he wouldn't have
Speaker 10: known who I was. This man had other things on
Speaker 10: his mind.
Speaker 6: Uh. Your mom put you in pageants when you were younger?
Speaker 10: Are you saying that just because then you say that,
Speaker 10: and then you just stare at me.
Speaker 6: It was like, because that's the fun fact?
Speaker 10: Disappointed look on your phone.
Speaker 5: No, not at all true.
Speaker 6: No, I'm this is fun facts. Are they true or not?
Speaker 5: It is true?
Speaker 10: Okay, is true? Because and here's why. The way I
Speaker 10: remember it is, I was already messing around with music
Speaker 10: even when I was six seven, eight years old. In
Speaker 10: my bedroom. I would just be in there, you know,
Speaker 10: playing Ted Nugent, cat Scratch Fever and Hank Junior or
Speaker 10: whatever records my brother had. I'd be playing them as
Speaker 10: loud as I could, singing them into one of those
Speaker 10: little plug in microphones that you won't remember, but back
Speaker 10: in the day, you could have a little tiny microphone
Speaker 10: that you could record over cassettes with and I would
Speaker 10: be singing into that microphone. And my mom finally decided
Speaker 10: maybe she should enter me into some of these pageants.
Speaker 10: In our small attacks, there's a talent portion of the pageant,
Speaker 10: you know. I got to sing a song on there.
Speaker 3: So she did.
Speaker 10: She entered me in, like I don't know, probably four
Speaker 10: or five pageants, enough that I told her one day, Mom,
Speaker 10: I don't want to sing anymore if that's the what
Speaker 10: I have to do to sing, because it's embarrassing to
Speaker 10: be up there doing the evening where and stuff, you know,
Speaker 10: with all the little girls and I'm the one boy,
Speaker 10: you know, and the pageant. So it was I was
Speaker 10: probably like twelve or thirteen before I started singing again,
Speaker 10: just like regular music events around our town back in Ada, Oklahoma. No,
Speaker 10: that's true. Also that's where I'm from.
Speaker 6: We got that as a fact. Okay, we got two more.
Speaker 6: One being you've been confused for Joe Nichols, so much
Speaker 6: so that people at festivals used to get mad at
Speaker 6: you for not playing songs like you know, probably tequila
Speaker 6: makes her clothes fall off.
Speaker 10: That's happened. That's happened with a lot of artists, you know,
Speaker 10: over the years, that being confused for other artists. I
Speaker 10: remember one time they used to have CMA Fest over
Speaker 10: here at the Nashville fair Grounds back in the day,
Speaker 10: and there was a parking lot where all the artists
Speaker 10: could park to go in and sign autographs or whatever,
Speaker 10: you know. And I remember one time I was I
Speaker 10: used to have super long hair, like down halfway down
Speaker 10: the middle of my back. And I was leaving one time,
Speaker 10: and and fans had figured out they could they could
Speaker 10: go stand next to the fence where that parking lot was,
Speaker 10: and then mess was standing in stupid lines in the
Speaker 10: in the building. They could catch their favorite artists right
Speaker 10: there going to their car and get autographs.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 10: And so I was leaving, I had like one song out,
Speaker 10: maybe not even yet, and and I was almost to
Speaker 10: my car, and I heard some fans say Terry, Terry,
Speaker 10: Terry Clark, and I stopped and I started looking around
Speaker 10: like oh my god, Terry Clark's out here. And then
Speaker 10: when I looked back at the fans, they were kind
Speaker 10: of like, oh, you know, and looked away, you know,
Speaker 10: and they were like, I realized they thought I was
Speaker 10: Terry Clark when I was leaving. And and I've told
Speaker 10: Terry this also. We don't know which one is more offended.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 10: But then uh, later on uh uh it was Joe
Speaker 10: Nichols because Joe and I had pretty much the same
Speaker 10: haircut at one point, and he came out and I
Speaker 10: do remember, like, you know, you didn't play Broken Heartsville,
Speaker 10: you know, at sign on autographs after the show. I
Speaker 10: used to tell people in airports. They would come up
Speaker 10: and say, are you Joe Nichols And I would say yes,
Speaker 10: and I hate kids, and you you know, just to
Speaker 10: try to get a leg up, you know.
Speaker 5: Because back then that competition.
Speaker 10: Yes, I was up against him on all the awards stuff,
Speaker 10: so I screw him.
Speaker 6: And final fun fact, if it's true or not, Gwen
Speaker 6: Stefani says having you in her life as a miracle.
Speaker 10: Uh that sounds like a that's hat, doesn't it.
Speaker 6: I mean no, but I really did read like a
Speaker 6: couple of days ago, that she said meeting you was
Speaker 6: like a second chance at life. I'm paraphrasing, but I'm.
Speaker 3: Pretty sure that I'll see this stuff too.
Speaker 10: I've been seeing it because she's you know, she's released
Speaker 10: an album, oh yeah, on Friday, and so I've been
Speaker 10: seeing you know, she's doing all the press and stuff,
Speaker 10: and I've been seeing this stuff too. It's it's the sweetest,
Speaker 10: nicest things. I can't believe that. I can't believe it,
Speaker 10: you know, I know it's awesome.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I felt like reading that it gives a lot
Speaker 6: of other people hope that maybe you're on their second
Speaker 6: chapter or third or whatever life.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 10: Well, I tell you, it's amazing, you know that to
Speaker 10: get this on this end of life. You know, I'm
Speaker 10: I'm forty eight now, and to have only met my
Speaker 10: best friend, you know, eight or nine years ago is
Speaker 10: pretty incredible. You know, you just never know what's out there,
Speaker 10: what's around the corner, and you know, she's it's been
Speaker 10: everything she's saying, is I feel the same way. It's
Speaker 10: it's been an incredible connection. I don't know how else
Speaker 10: to explain it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I do feel like it does offer hope
Speaker 6: for people that maybe they're turning into that second chapter,
Speaker 6: whether it's age or just a divorce or you know,
Speaker 6: what is my life going to look like now? Because
Speaker 6: this isn't going how I expected it. But hearing people
Speaker 6: open up and say like, yeah, there are second chances
Speaker 6: out there. And it's not to say that the first part.
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think she would change anything about
Speaker 6: any of that, obviously her kids and whatnot, but it's
Speaker 6: it was beautiful and it gave me some hope.
Speaker 10: Honestly, Well, I tell you too. And we were on
Speaker 10: rock bottom. We hit rock bottom before we found each other,
Speaker 10: you know, so that kind of that sounds worse when
Speaker 10: you say it like that, like you got you gotta
Speaker 10: it's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.
Speaker 10: I don't mean it like that, but just just when
Speaker 10: we thought that's well, that was going to be all
Speaker 10: run at it, you know, is when we found each.
Speaker 6: Other, what don't you think hitting rock bottom then you
Speaker 6: evolve into this next version of yourself, Like that's the
Speaker 6: stuff that stretches you and grows you. So if y'all
Speaker 6: had met earlier, it probably wouldn't have been the right
Speaker 6: time because it's this version of both of you that
Speaker 6: y'all needed.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's true. But it's fun for us to think
Speaker 10: about what if we would have known each other, like
Speaker 10: way way back, what would have been like. You know,
Speaker 10: she's written on a lot of songs about that. You know,
Speaker 10: I think there's even one on this new record about that,
Speaker 10: because you know, it's just it's just, like I say,
Speaker 10: it's amazing that this chapter started so late in our lives.
Speaker 6: You know, she's got new music, You've got new music.
Speaker 6: You know, Austin was your first number one song way
Speaker 6: back in the day, and then now you kind of
Speaker 6: got a completely got Austin, and now I got Texas,
Speaker 6: which I was born and raised in Austin, Texas. Oh no, kidd,
Speaker 6: shout out wow, and so Texas. I immediately gravitated towards
Speaker 6: it when it came out, and huge George Strait fan
Speaker 6: as well. Love that he gets a shout out in
Speaker 6: the chorus. Why did you decide to cut that song?
Speaker 10: Well, I just fell in love with it the first
Speaker 10: time I heard it. And you know, it's been a
Speaker 10: minute since I've released any music.
Speaker 6: It's two years.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and it's been I don't know how long it's
Speaker 10: been before that, Before I've even released an album. It's
Speaker 10: been a while. And you know, I was doing the
Speaker 10: voice for twelve years and twenty three seasons of that
Speaker 10: show I did. And so when I finally walked away
Speaker 10: from really I wasn't just walking away from the Voice,
Speaker 10: it was just television in general. I just needed a
Speaker 10: break from that machine. It was just kind of numb.
Speaker 10: When I finally walked away, it was like, gosh, I
Speaker 10: I just need some some nothing for a while, you know.
Speaker 10: And it sounds like a spoiled brat thing to say,
Speaker 10: but I just kind of didn't really feel like I
Speaker 10: knew what I wanted to do anymore, because I had
Speaker 10: just kind of been on the hamster wheel of of
Speaker 10: of that beast that is, you know, television and h
Speaker 10: and so for a year and a half, I really
Speaker 10: didn't do much. I mean I I did do a
Speaker 10: little tour in there, and and some a handful of
Speaker 10: shows were really not anything else. And and I wasn't
Speaker 10: making any records. I wasn't recording or writing or doing anything.
Speaker 10: And and man, I'll be damned, uh if last spring
Speaker 10: I got a call to do this duet with Post Malone,
Speaker 10: and I was shocked honestly, because it was just like, what, like,
Speaker 10: like me, he wants me to do this?
Speaker 2: Like uh?
Speaker 10: And so I obviously I heard the song and it
Speaker 10: was like, this sounds like something that I would have
Speaker 10: done anyway, you know, and hell yeah, I'll do it.
Speaker 10: I had met Post at the at the Super Bowl
Speaker 10: last year. Gwyn and I had done like a pregame
Speaker 10: performance and then posting uh, America the Beautiful before the game,
Speaker 10: and and so we saw each other and traded phone numbers,
Speaker 10: and but that happens a million times in this business,
Speaker 10: and you never expect to hear from somebody, you know,
Speaker 10: it's like, oh, let's get together. Sure, uh. And but
Speaker 10: he followed up and and so we made that that
Speaker 10: recording and and then of course it came out and
Speaker 10: was a hit, and the whole experience for me, and
Speaker 10: even being around Post, I'm sure he's probably uh, you
Speaker 10: guys have probably talked to him now, I'm sure. I don't.
Speaker 10: I don't know, but you know what he's like. He's
Speaker 10: just so excited, so happy, and just so full of
Speaker 10: of excitement about music and and and country music especially,
Speaker 10: you know, and being around him shooting the video we've done,
Speaker 10: you know, some performances, and it was just the honestly,
Speaker 10: the kick and the ass that I needed to kind
Speaker 10: of go, well, what are you doing? You know you
Speaker 10: used to be this this fired up, you know, and
Speaker 10: being around him really lit a fire under me again
Speaker 10: and and and reminded me that, uh, you know, I
Speaker 10: nobody gets to do what I do. Very few people
Speaker 10: get to be recording artists and and and do what
Speaker 10: they dreamed of doing, uh when they were a kid.
Speaker 10: And I get to do that. And I'm wasting this time,
Speaker 10: you know. And and so I really do credit Post
Speaker 10: for for getting me fired back up again and wanting
Speaker 10: to get back in the studio and really kind of
Speaker 10: start over again.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 10: I got a new record deal starting with a with
Speaker 10: a whole new team and just kind of really just
Speaker 10: turned the page. And and so to answer your question
Speaker 10: though about Texas, Uh, it it was a song that
Speaker 10: I felt like it kind of it's got a connection
Speaker 10: to me and who I've been as an artist all
Speaker 10: these years that you know, I had a record years
Speaker 10: ago called Sangria, and it's got a little bit of
Speaker 10: that kind of vibe to it, but it also feels
Speaker 10: like a step in a new direction. Which I always
Speaker 10: try to do when I go in and make a record.
Speaker 10: That's what my heroes like Conway Twitty and Kenny Rodgers,
Speaker 10: you know their catalog when you listen to them, you know,
Speaker 10: they're always kind of pushing the envelope. And I felt
Speaker 10: like this song does that musically for me, you know,
Speaker 10: and of course it uh. You know, the tip of
Speaker 10: the Hat to George Straight and the chorus. If you
Speaker 10: don't like George Straight, you know, you probably don't have
Speaker 10: any friends. So I gotta have you know, you know,
Speaker 10: even everybody loves George Strait, I hope, uh. And so
Speaker 10: I love the tip of the Hat to George and
Speaker 10: the chorus.
Speaker 6: What's your favorite George Straight song?
Speaker 10: Man? I I perform all my exes in my shows
Speaker 10: a lot, you know, and but it's probably not my favorite.
Speaker 10: My favorite is probably Ocean Front Property. I don't know why.
Speaker 10: I just always go back to that one.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 10: But there's there's so many and there's so many that
Speaker 10: were number one hits that are almost forgotten because he's
Speaker 10: had so many number one hits. It's like I've said before,
Speaker 10: I've done a lot of shows with George over the years. Uh,
Speaker 10: I go man, it's impossible to go to a George
Speaker 10: Straight song and and leave without going. Man, he didn't
Speaker 10: play one of my favorite songs, because how can he
Speaker 10: possibly play eighty songs in a in his set? You know,
Speaker 10: there's just literally so many to choose from. There's some
Speaker 10: of those back in the eighties that are forgotten that
Speaker 10: are just incredible. Chair, Oh the chair, chill, chill of
Speaker 10: an early Fall. There's there's a I mean, we could
Speaker 10: sit here and do this for another power not do it,
Speaker 10: but I love I love I love him so much.
Speaker 10: I don't want to take away from my time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely not. But you're not to George in the
Speaker 6: song as Amarilla by morning, that's what it is.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well Amarilla is in there, and also he says
Speaker 10: that's where all my exes go, So I got them
Speaker 10: both in there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you squeeze that one in there. I saw a
Speaker 6: video of the writers of the song.
Speaker 3: I saw that too.
Speaker 10: I still haven't met him in person yet. I'm supposed
Speaker 10: to meet him today, either today or tomorrow. I think
Speaker 10: I'm finally going to get a chance to meet him
Speaker 10: because I think for three of them, it's their first
Speaker 10: single that they've had, maybe all four of them, but
Speaker 10: I think three of them. It's their first single, and
Speaker 10: one one of the writers has been here for like
Speaker 10: fifteen years or something, which I totally relate to. You know,
Speaker 10: I was here for seven years before I had any
Speaker 10: kind of a break, you know, So you know, it
Speaker 10: just shows you that, you know, just the same thing
Speaker 10: we were talking about with, you know, you just never
Speaker 10: know what's around the corner.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just thought it was really special, Like they
Speaker 6: had to probably be freaking out, Oh, Blake Shelton's gonna
Speaker 6: cut our song, and then they're hearing it on the
Speaker 6: radio for the first.
Speaker 10: Time I got. One of them was standing on the
Speaker 10: top of their car crashing the hood or something. It's
Speaker 10: pretty funny.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that gave me goosebumps. It's like, you know, it's
Speaker 6: probably cool for you too as an artist to be
Speaker 6: part of helping them, you know, around that corner make
Speaker 6: that dream come true.
Speaker 10: Well, you know, those guys help me. I always look
Speaker 10: at it that way when when songwriters there's so many
Speaker 10: great talented songwriters in this town, like it's it's literally unbelievable,
Speaker 10: and they've built this thing for me, the writers have
Speaker 10: you know, I'm just a lucky guy that's been able
Speaker 10: to get my hands on some of these songs, you know,
Speaker 10: and no different than Texas. I think it's a special song.
Speaker 10: And I feel like those guys took a chance on me.
Speaker 10: You know, I mean, I'm I'm not the new up
Speaker 10: and comer anymore, you know what I'm saying. So I
Speaker 10: really appreciate them giving me a chance with it.
Speaker 6: Well, Texas is catchy. It'll get stuck in your had
Speaker 6: for sure. It's good. And you know we were talking
Speaker 6: about Austin earlier being your first number one song. You
Speaker 6: have twenty nine number one songs.
Speaker 10: That's that's right. Name what I heard when when the
Speaker 10: when the post thing went? Because it uh uh. I
Speaker 10: think different charts have different criteria or whatever, but I
Speaker 10: heard that I was tied with Tim McGraw, uh for
Speaker 10: I think the second or third, third, most of however
Speaker 10: they do the charts. Now we all know that George
Speaker 10: and nobody's never catching him. But uh, I thought that
Speaker 10: was pretty cool because I look up to Tim. It's like,
Speaker 10: what me and Tim?
Speaker 6: Do you? I mean, do you think you could name them.
Speaker 10: All of mine?
Speaker 6: At nine? I probably could, I mean I know you could,
Speaker 6: but like go ahead, Oh, my god, we'd be here.
Speaker 6: You actually do have things coming up on your couthy.
Speaker 10: There's a there's a lot of my songs that people
Speaker 10: think were number ones. Maybe not a lot, but there's
Speaker 10: some that people think we're number ones that weren't even close,
Speaker 10: Like Old Red, which is probably arguably one of my
Speaker 10: bigger rec hits. You know, as far as the impact goes,
Speaker 10: that was not even a top ten single when it
Speaker 10: came out. I think it went somewhere in the teens.
Speaker 10: But it went on to be the fan favorite, and
Speaker 10: now there's restaurants named after it around the country. You know,
Speaker 10: but it wasn't even a top ten song at the time.
Speaker 6: Oh wow, Well, speaking of all you have coming.
Speaker 10: Well, let's just go ahead and say thirty. When I
Speaker 10: say it that way, I mean, you know, it really
Speaker 10: should have.
Speaker 6: Been yeah, thirty one. Then yeah Texas, I mean I
Speaker 6: don't want to don't do you believe in the jinks
Speaker 6: or any of that stuff. Like if I were to
Speaker 6: say right now, Texas is so good, it's probably gonna
Speaker 6: be your next number one, you might be like, well,
Speaker 6: if it doesn't go number one, then.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I do believe that stuff. Thinks a lot you do.
Speaker 6: I didn't just say it, I was asking hially.
Speaker 10: Football I do. When it comes to my football teams,
Speaker 10: I do believe in jinxes.
Speaker 6: What do you do on game day? Do you have
Speaker 6: like a high or a shirt or something you have
Speaker 6: to do?
Speaker 10: Yes? And when we're on defense, I turn my hat backwards.
Speaker 10: When we're on offense, it's forward. Unless that's not working,
Speaker 10: then I reverse those things. Interesting, Oh my gosh, Well,
Speaker 10: I feel like I'm contributing something to the team.
Speaker 6: If your team loses, does it completely derail your day?
Speaker 10: Yes? Days, No, not days, but it will derail the
Speaker 10: day and part of the next day. And then I
Speaker 10: start to get over it. Then I start to find
Speaker 10: ways to find a different path to the playoffs than
Speaker 10: the one that I had in mind. Y'all, you guys
Speaker 10: are Cowboys fans exactly what I'm talking.
Speaker 5: I'm hat around anyone.
Speaker 10: You may want to just take the hat off this year.
Speaker 6: They're used to losing. But it's it's a psychological thing.
Speaker 6: It's like you think you're a part of the team,
Speaker 6: so therefore it fans, not you, blake you, just you.
Speaker 6: But most big hardcore fans they are a part of
Speaker 6: the team and they feel like they're contributing in their
Speaker 6: own way, and then when they lose, it's like they've
Speaker 6: actually lost. When like you are not on the team
Speaker 6: at all.
Speaker 10: I feel like you're This feels like therapy.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 10: Usually I'm just like I'm trying to take this away
Speaker 10: from you.
Speaker 6: But I just don't know that it should impact you
Speaker 6: for a day, you know. So do you have to
Speaker 6: go like plow some stuff or what do you do
Speaker 6: to let the anger out?
Speaker 10: Drink?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's hell.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah cool?
Speaker 3: Cool?
Speaker 10: And when we're winning, that's what I do to celebrate.
Speaker 6: Drink.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 6: What's your favorite drink?
Speaker 10: Vodka and spritt zero.
Speaker 5: Oh, look at you watching the calary.
Speaker 10: It's the the Nectar of Gods.
Speaker 3: The right.
Speaker 6: So you know you're talking about a little little hiatus,
Speaker 6: but I'm looking at twenty twenty five and it's look
Speaker 6: at your back like you're like, okay, I'm ready to Yeah,
Speaker 6: I know. You're doing a residency in Vegas basically all
Speaker 6: of resident.
Speaker 10: By the way, Gwynn gets so when she sees the
Speaker 10: word residence, because it's two weekends, she's like, that is ridiculous.
Speaker 10: Do you call that a residency? I did like sixty
Speaker 10: three shows, you're doing like six shows.
Speaker 6: It's exactly what you're doing. Six shows, you're doing the fifth,
Speaker 6: the seventh, and age.
Speaker 10: She said, you're just like staying over an extra weekend.
Speaker 10: That's not a residency. But they're calling a residency and
Speaker 10: I'm going with them.
Speaker 3: They are.
Speaker 6: It's at the Coliseum in Caesar's Palace. Blake Shelton dot
Speaker 6: com for more details on that. And then you have
Speaker 6: your Friends and Heroes dates, which you are basically February
Speaker 6: to March.
Speaker 10: Yes, Friends and Heroes is, by the way, my favorite
Speaker 10: way to tour. It's gonna be hard to ever get
Speaker 10: me to go back to doing it another way because
Speaker 10: it's just so much fun.
Speaker 6: I mean, the shows are like, well, describe Friends and Heroes.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, what it is is it started I think
Speaker 10: five or six years ago, maybe even before that. I
Speaker 10: remember a specifically a conversation with Trace Atkins about seven
Speaker 10: years ago now and think about it, and I called him.
Speaker 10: I said, man, Trace, what are you doing like early
Speaker 10: next year, like February March? And I don't know why.
Speaker 10: And I said, well, ma'am, I want you to come
Speaker 10: out and tour with me, but I don't want you
Speaker 10: to like tour with me. I said, I want you
Speaker 10: to come out and sing with me during my show.
Speaker 10: Like I said, remember when when Uncle Cracker used to
Speaker 10: do that with Kenny Chesney, Like Kenny Chesney would go
Speaker 10: on stage and then you know, halfway through the show,
Speaker 10: Uncle Cracker would come out and they would sing.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 10: They had a when the Sun Goes down, and then
Speaker 10: Uncle Cracker would sing another hit or two of his
Speaker 10: you know. It was a big moment during the show.
Speaker 10: I said, I want you to come do that on
Speaker 10: my show because we had at the time Hill Billy
Speaker 10: Baum and he said, well, okay, I'll be your Uncle
Speaker 10: Cracker and so and so from there it was so
Speaker 10: much fun. The next year I had John Anderson, the
Speaker 10: Bellamy Brothers, uh, and then we did that for a
Speaker 10: couple of years, and then I ended up getting Tracy
Speaker 10: Bird and Martina McBride. I'm probably forgetting somebody, but we've
Speaker 10: done these tours now where we bring out different artists
Speaker 10: and they all come out during my show, you know.
Speaker 10: And so this this year we're having Craig Morgan, Trace
Speaker 10: Atkins and Dina Carter, which I'm very excited about.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 10: Dina Carter not so much. Craig or Trace, but.
Speaker 6: Like a legit hero, I know, I know, but I
Speaker 6: know him.
Speaker 10: I can't. I can't brag on him too much. We
Speaker 10: know each other too well.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 10: But Dina Carter, I mean, I guess if you we
Speaker 10: should look this up while we're here. But she has
Speaker 10: to had maybe top five biggest hits of the nine
Speaker 10: Strawberry Wine. I mean, it's got to be top five.
Speaker 10: I don't know how you measure those things. One of
Speaker 10: the biggest hits.
Speaker 6: I feel like Strawberry Wine was the number one.
Speaker 10: No, I'm saying of the entire decade of the all times,
Speaker 10: I would say decade top five, would you?
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's figure out that fun It was a huge rouge.
Speaker 6: I can't even that. The first song comes on, I
Speaker 6: hear for like three seconds of it, and I'm instantly teleported.
Speaker 10: To mysel It's unbelievable. Listen to it on and it
Speaker 10: bost crazy about that songs. It did that to you
Speaker 10: when it first came out, did it teleported you to
Speaker 10: back in time? And now it does it again in
Speaker 10: a different way when you.
Speaker 6: Hear it, Like even just thinking about it right now,
Speaker 6: I'm driving in my nineteen eighty six Bronco. What was
Speaker 6: your first car?
Speaker 10: I had a ninety four step side Chevy.
Speaker 6: Your first You turned sixteen, and it was a ninety four.

Speaker 10: a ninety two. It was a It was a step
Speaker 10: side GMC. My dad sold Pontiacs and GMCs. Oh see
Speaker 10: how a little yeah, yeah, I had.
Speaker 6: You had a new car. That's right, new car, I
Speaker 6: mean not. I mean not saying that your age would
Speaker 6: indicate anything.
Speaker 10: You're saying I grew up wealthy.
Speaker 6: No, I wasn't plying you had a newer car for sixteen.
Speaker 6: It was it was.
Speaker 10: It was bad ass. All my friends are super jealous
Speaker 10: of me.
Speaker 6: All right, Mike, we got the fact check on strawberry wine.
Speaker 1: It does not make the top ten of the nineties.
Speaker 3: It does not. It is not.
Speaker 6: It doesn't. What does any uh?

Speaker 13: in Little Places, and Achy Breaky Heart at number one.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 10: I can't argue with anything.
Speaker 6: They're all pretty good. Obviously Blake would have been on
Speaker 6: the list.
Speaker 3: But you you're fired. I'm sorry. I thought it was
Speaker 3: top five you were.
Speaker 6: I think you came on the map. What was Austin
Speaker 6: two thousand and one? Yes, yeah, because I instantly go
