Speaker 1: Wake Up, Wake Up, the mall and the radio, the Dods, Lunchbox,
Speaker 1: Morgan too, sevree out of trying to put you through five,
Speaker 1: He's running this Whig's next bit. The Bobby's on the box,
Speaker 1: so you know what this.
Speaker 2: The Bobby vall time for the news.
Speaker 3: Bobby's Story.
Speaker 2: Chuck Woollery of two and two. You know what that's from? Amy?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I love connection.
Speaker 2: He died. He was also the original host of Will
Speaker 2: of Fortune. He was eighty three years old. He was
Speaker 2: in a country band when he first started like he
Speaker 2: was a country singer in the pop duo, in the
Speaker 2: half pop half country duo, the avant Garde, and then
Speaker 2: he got hired as the Will of Fortune host, which
Speaker 2: later was taken over by Pat Jack. But he died
Speaker 2: eighty three years old. Rest in peace to Chuck Woolery.
Speaker 2: Do you have extended family visiting for the holidays? They say,
Speaker 2: do not feel pressure to ask them to stay with you?
Speaker 3: You have Wait what I would? I would not. I
Speaker 3: don't feel pressure. I would be like, hey, you're welcome
Speaker 3: to stay here.
Speaker 2: But that's the pressure, especially if you don't like know
Speaker 2: the or like love them.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just feel like the more the
Speaker 3: mirror in the house for the holidays.
Speaker 2: But I guess like extended family where you're like, eh,
Speaker 2: like cousins and stuff like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, blow up mattresses, make room for everybody. Well well
Speaker 3: yeah everybody. You go sleep with that person that will
Speaker 3: just make more room sleep on the couch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like extended because you don't really know that. I
Speaker 2: mean you like kind of know. Family members feel selfish
Speaker 2: or wrong when they suggest that relatives stay at a
Speaker 2: hotel or elsewhere. But mental experts say you should vanish
Speaker 2: the thought. If it overstresses your marriage or your kids
Speaker 2: to have different guests in your home, then ask your
Speaker 2: relatives to stay at a hotel. They mostly won't care either,
Speaker 2: they say, And your ultimate goal is to have quality
Speaker 2: moments with the six tended family. They will understand that.
Speaker 3: That support that. I agree with that like to release
Speaker 3: yourself of any guilt you feel not inviting them, But
Speaker 3: if you want to go for it.
Speaker 2: That is from When Difficult Relatives Happen by Leonard Felder.
Speaker 3: It's a difficult relatives.
Speaker 2: I Here's how music has changed. In twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: More music is being released every single day than was
Speaker 2: released in an entire year in like nineteen eighty nine
Speaker 2: or nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's because they's so much easier.
Speaker 2: You just loaded up, send it to a DSP and
Speaker 2: they load it right. You can do so much more
Speaker 2: of it at home. It's so much easier to make.
Speaker 2: But yeah, in twenty twenty four, they are making and
Speaker 2: releasing more music than ever before. Again, it's easier to make,
Speaker 2: it's easier to release when back in the day nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty nine, nineteen ninety you had to create it, press
Speaker 2: it onto a CD, get it to a place, hopefully
Speaker 2: you get someone to distribute it. But yeah, there are
Speaker 2: millions of songs that go up every single day that
Speaker 2: is from consequence. It's hard to find. And I would
Speaker 2: compare this to new TV. It's hard to find new
Speaker 2: good music that you really like because again, there's just
Speaker 2: so so much of it. So it's like, I don't
Speaker 2: even know where to start. There's so much, and you
Speaker 2: know what, I give up. I'll go back and listen
Speaker 2: to John Mayer. It's like a television show and you
Speaker 2: have one hundred options up there, and you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna watch the office, you know, same kind
Speaker 2: of deal. Unless something unless somebody recommends it to you.
Speaker 2: We are in the space now of it's so hard
Speaker 2: for anything to cut through and catch on that you
Speaker 2: need somebody that you like and has similar sensibilities to go, hey,
Speaker 2: this show is really good because then you go check
Speaker 2: it out. Same thing with music, especially with me now,
Speaker 2: like the times of me just going like, let me
Speaker 2: just explore. There's just too much. There's too much. I'm
Speaker 2: probably missing more than i'm checking out. So I need
Speaker 2: somebody to go, hey, I think you'd like this.
Speaker 4: You know who's good at that.
Speaker 5: TikTok TikTok feeds me a lot of music, and I'm like,
Speaker 5: I like that.
Speaker 2: It's called an algorithm. Yes, it's because you like other
Speaker 2: things like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, But like TV shows,
Speaker 2: whenever do we see a commercial for a TV show
Speaker 2: and then go watch it, I don't know, ten fifteen years,
Speaker 2: I'm sure at some point I was like, oh, check
Speaker 2: out this new show, friends, I should watch that. It
Speaker 2: looks like a hot No.
Speaker 3: I would say probably eighty percent of what I watched
Speaker 3: on TV is something you've recommended.
Speaker 2: Or just somebody that you trust to go, hey, this
Speaker 2: is a good show.
Speaker 3: I going to trust you and Caitlyn.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well there's two people. Then I appreciate that. From
Speaker 2: NBCLA this woman finds a naked dude living under her house.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, another one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, I think this is the thing. I know.
Speaker 2: She was ninety three years old, and I would imagine
Speaker 2: this guy probably targeted somebody older.
Speaker 3: You can't hear as well.
Speaker 2: And yeah, see, not so much like going attacker or
Speaker 2: take advantage of her. But yeah, course if her senses
Speaker 2: are as good, Yeah, that's tough.
Speaker 4: And why was he naked? He's just sleeping kind of sleeps.
Speaker 2: He had a tear gas. You know, I didn't really
Speaker 2: say why he's naked.
Speaker 4: I don't know that.
Speaker 2: I would have been naked under the under a house
Speaker 2: right a lot. I probably had extra clothes on under
Speaker 2: a house.
Speaker 4: Rats.
Speaker 6: Bugs.
Speaker 2: Last thing I want to do is see like a
Speaker 2: centipede on my centipedeum.
Speaker 4: Me, I don't want that.
Speaker 6: No, you don't want that.
Speaker 4: Crazy.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: Finally, this is from a Progressive Insurance survey. Studies found
Speaker 2: that a majority of managers have quit on fantasy football
Speaker 2: by now because their team can't make the playoffs. Right
Speaker 2: before Thanksgiving is the most popular time the season for
Speaker 2: players to give up and they stop checking their team
Speaker 2: because they don't care who starts. And so this is
Speaker 2: with fantasy playoffs starting in mid December, most people that
Speaker 2: are out of it just quit because they don't have
Speaker 2: By the way, you're a loser if you do this,
Speaker 2: because you owe it to the rest of your league
Speaker 2: to continue to start your players, because there are still
Speaker 2: positions that haven't been filled in the playoffs that are
Speaker 2: depending on you not being.
Speaker 3: A more on unless just like you can't quit right.
Speaker 2: Well, there's I don't know if there's a rule ever
Speaker 2: that you can't quit.
Speaker 4: We do what do we do? A penalty or something?
Speaker 2: If you miss and you you start up, you don't
Speaker 2: start a player, or you do start a player that's out,
Speaker 2: there's a five dollars penalty.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, so that's that's good. I think that holds
Speaker 3: people accountable.
Speaker 2: How y'all, how y'all take it under the house.
Speaker 3: Are y'all still in your teams?
Speaker 2: I've never not made the playoffs.
Speaker 5: I don't think my history have never ever, But I care, No,
Speaker 5: I care too, but I missed the playoffs all the time.
Speaker 2: Bobby's story. There's a voicemail. We got over the.
Speaker 7: Weekend, so I matched with a guy on a dating app.
Speaker 2: And he was super cute.
Speaker 7: You know, in his pictures he was throwing baseball, like
Speaker 7: pitching baseballs. He had knees on his shoulders, he was pitching.
Speaker 3: On a boat.
Speaker 7: He pulls up to pick me up. He's in like
Speaker 7: a little coop mustang.
Speaker 8: All of a sudden, I'll.
Speaker 9: Say, oh, yeah, I'm almost I'm getting ready, like, you know,
Speaker 9: giving his sack that you can come up if you want.
Speaker 7: Oh I can't. He nods to the back of his coop.
Speaker 7: It's a wheelchair. He did not disclose that he was
Speaker 7: paralyzed permanently. What would you guys have done in the situation.
Speaker 7: Is that cat fishing?
Speaker 3: Let me know, Wow, I don't know that that's catfishing,
Speaker 3: but definitely probably should be disclosed.
Speaker 2: Let me think about this. It wasn't in any of
Speaker 2: the pictures that he is nothing so right, right, So
Speaker 2: here's a question. Let's take it out out of this
Speaker 2: because I think we obviously have sympathy for the guy
Speaker 2: because he's in a wheelchair, or that is going to
Speaker 2: remove us from making an unbiased decision because we're feeling
Speaker 2: sympathy for a situation for a person. We don't know
Speaker 2: what if the guy's seven foot three and never discloses
Speaker 2: the seven foot three and everything is all the pictures
Speaker 2: he's in. He is just like standing next to trees
Speaker 2: and stuff and it looks normal sized and he's like
Speaker 2: eating a sandwich, but he's sitting in a chair and
Speaker 2: you never know he's seven foot three. He knocks on
Speaker 2: the door and you're like, holy crap, did you not
Speaker 2: say you were seven foot three? Do you feel like
Speaker 2: that would have been some sort of catfishing? Because that
Speaker 2: is something that is not extremely common. It's a physical
Speaker 2: thing that's happening with him that he had that maybe
Speaker 2: people wouldn't want to date him if they say seven
Speaker 2: foot three. So he doesn't say it. There's nothing wrong
Speaker 2: with it, but he's had bad luck on people giving
Speaker 2: him a chance initially because he's seven foot three or
Speaker 2: four foot ten.
Speaker 3: So just so you know, on dating apps, there's a
Speaker 3: height option where you fill out your height.
Speaker 2: I don't have to though, And then what do you
Speaker 2: do with a this is your height if you're in
Speaker 2: a wheelchair. I literally don't know the answer for R.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know either. But I have seen that guy.
Speaker 3: So I have seen a guy on my when I
Speaker 3: was on a dating app, like he was in a wheelchair,
Speaker 3: and he showed himself living life in his wheelchair, even
Speaker 3: dancing on a dance floor like someone spinning him around,
Speaker 3: like it was a whole thing. So he was very
Speaker 3: upfront about it, which I think is how you should be.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think if I were the guy
Speaker 2: and I'm putting myself in his place and people had
Speaker 2: rejected meet, I was getting no matches because I showed
Speaker 2: I was in a wheelchair, I probably wouldn't just risk
Speaker 2: it and show up and be like, you didn't say
Speaker 2: no to me, not in a wheelchair, So you're already
Speaker 2: feeling like no that I'm in a wheelchair. I think
Speaker 2: that's a tough situation for the guy because he's probably
Speaker 2: not gonna get a lot of swipes. I don't is
Speaker 2: it catfish, and I think it's like perch fishing. I
Speaker 2: don't think it's as big a fish. And I think
Speaker 2: just like the four foot ten guy or the seven
Speaker 2: foot eight guy, because that's just not common, they're probably
Speaker 2: tortured on the inside because they know they're like a
Speaker 2: good person. And people aren't fairly giving them an opportunity.
Speaker 2: So they think if they can just show up in
Speaker 2: person and be given an opportunity, they can actually have
Speaker 2: that opportunity. I see that, but do what. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: a tough one because also, if I'm the guy, I'm
Speaker 2: probably gonna disclose it because it's like somebody who wears
Speaker 2: a hat in every picture, but it's bald. Now are
Speaker 2: they lying? No, they're not lying because they're not. They
Speaker 2: don't have fake hair using young, younger picture. But all
Speaker 2: of a sudden they get there and they're like, oh
Speaker 2: what a day. They pull their head off and you're like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, that's a bald head. They didn't lie,
Speaker 2: but now you're having to deal with that later. Ah,
Speaker 2: that's just a tough that's a tough one.
Speaker 3: What I tend to see happen with that is they
Speaker 3: all like, say, there's six photos total, and you're scrolling down.
Speaker 3: The first five they have a hat, but then the
Speaker 3: sixth one they reveal, you know, their hair color, or
Speaker 3: their hair style or their hair head.
Speaker 2: If I was bald, I did the same thing. I
Speaker 2: would never show my head. Yeah, Espuch crops embarrassed of
Speaker 2: it and they just hope they gave me the benefit
Speaker 2: of that. When I got there, I'm gonna say, was
Speaker 2: a catfishing, No, because catfishing is often done with an
Speaker 2: intent of screwing somebody over or misleading someone to the
Speaker 2: point of getting something from them. Was a little perch fishing,
Speaker 2: probably because he probably needed a perch fish or for
Speaker 2: people to give him a shot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you liked him so far. Yeah, you're like,
Speaker 3: maybe you don't miss out on someone awesome.
Speaker 2: But you said it was catfishing.
Speaker 3: At first, I didn't say calfishing. No, I said, I
Speaker 3: do think you should disclose it, And I also see
Speaker 3: your point.
Speaker 2: I don't think you should have to disclose it, because
Speaker 2: we don't disclose everything on those apps. Trust me, you
Speaker 2: don't disclose most stuff. You just disclose like your greatest
Speaker 2: Hits album. And then you get there and you're like,
Speaker 2: maybe you like some deeper cuts. Hopefully you do, but
Speaker 2: I can understand everybody feeling a little awkward there. I
Speaker 2: don't have an absolute answer on that, and I hope
Speaker 2: that I need to know what happened. Did you go
Speaker 2: out with them?
Speaker 3: Yeah? What if they end up getting married? This would
Speaker 3: be the greatest story would be so cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it can also be the opposite to where
Speaker 2: she just never went outside.
Speaker 3: Yeather than that frees him up to meet the right person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's just what people say whenever they've been
Speaker 2: very unlucky so far. Morgan, what do you think about this?
Speaker 10: I don't know that it's hat fishing, but I do
Speaker 10: think anytime you lie about any version of you that's
Speaker 10: like a permanent part of your life, I think is
Speaker 10: not a good thing.
Speaker 2: Just like with kids, you want somebody to be upfront
Speaker 2: that they have kids. I would never show I had
Speaker 2: kids on it on a dating end because he didn't lie.
Speaker 2: I would. You guys wrong, you don't have to.
Speaker 3: There's you don't have to, Okay, Well, good luck out there.
Speaker 2: I think it's it's a version of line, and I
Speaker 2: do think it could be I mean, dishonest, but I
Speaker 2: don't feel like he's cat fishing for the sake of
Speaker 2: like getting something. Cat fishing to me is somebody tricking
Speaker 2: somebody with like a different motive.
Speaker 10: There is hat fishing, but fishing in general just means
Speaker 10: you're you're tricking somebody to do something, And technically he
Speaker 10: did because if she wouldn't have gone with it.
Speaker 3: Then she did trick her to go on the date
Speaker 3: with him.
Speaker 2: He didn't show anything that wasn't real. There was nothing
Speaker 2: real that he didn't show.
Speaker 3: No, but he's not one hundred percent.
Speaker 10: And it also shows let me like, when I see
Speaker 10: somebody lying about big things like this, it shows.
Speaker 2: He's lying secure about it, yes, because he's probably been
Speaker 2: rejected for it so many times. But I don't think
Speaker 2: he's lying. If he's literally posting pictures from his life,
Speaker 2: I don't think he's lying. And now you could be
Speaker 2: omitting if you think lying.
Speaker 3: Iss youmt Yes, you're paralyzed.
Speaker 2: What I'm pro the guy that's paralyzed and you guys aren't.
Speaker 2: You guys are haters for know what, there's a hat fishing.
Speaker 11: Man.
Speaker 2: I'd have fish like.
Speaker 12: Crazy, Okay, I wouldn't have any kids. I'd have a
Speaker 12: hat on and I would never sure, dude, I would
Speaker 12: be just I'd get there and be like, Okay, you've
Speaker 12: seen everything the best. So I'm trying to convince you
Speaker 12: now because you were going to say no beforehand. Okay,
Speaker 12: we got to take a break. That's tough, and thank you.
Speaker 2: Hey, let us know if you went on the date
Speaker 2: or if you didn't go on the date.
Speaker 4: Thanks, that's a crazy one.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you.
Speaker 7: So I mastered with a guy on a dating app, and.
Speaker 8: He was super cute.
Speaker 7: You know in his pictures he was throwing baseball, like
Speaker 7: pitching baseballs. He had knees on his shoulders. He was
Speaker 7: fishing on the boat.
Speaker 3: He pulls up to.
Speaker 4: Pick me up.
Speaker 7: He's in like a little coop Mustang. All of a sudden,
Speaker 7: I'm say.
Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, I'm almost then getting ready, like.
Speaker 7: You know, give me us like eating love if you want.
Speaker 3: Oh I can't.
Speaker 7: He nods to the back of his coop. It's a wheelchair.
Speaker 7: He did not disclose that he was paralyzed permanently. What
Speaker 7: would you guys have done in this situation? Is that
Speaker 7: cat fish?
Speaker 11: Let me know.
Speaker 2: That was a call we got a minute ago. I
Speaker 2: want to go to Heather in Boston. Heather, welcome to
Speaker 2: the show. What do you want to say?
Speaker 9: Hey, good morning studio.
Speaker 2: What I.
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 9: I am a wheelchair user also on a dating PAP.
Speaker 9: So I wanted to give you some perspective and as
Speaker 9: someone who is showing up on the dates in a wheelchair. Okay,
Speaker 9: So I when I first started dating, I said you know,
Speaker 9: I want people to get to know my personality first.
Speaker 9: I want to have people get to know who I
Speaker 9: am and not physically what I look like. And that
Speaker 9: got me into some trouble because as soon as guys
Speaker 9: found out it would they would fade away. They really
Speaker 9: it was like, I don't want to get into this.
Speaker 9: I don't really know if I can take this on.
Speaker 9: I don't know what they thought they would be taking on.
Speaker 9: There's a lot of assumption around wheelchair users. And so
Speaker 9: then I started putting pictures of myself in a wheelchair
Speaker 9: and just like kind of disposing it in like a
Speaker 9: funny way, like right now, I think I have on
Speaker 9: my app that like I have amazing parking spaces, but
Speaker 9: you might have to reach something on the top shelf.
Speaker 9: So I'm just trying to like kind of bring some
Speaker 9: humor to it because I feel like I don't want
Speaker 9: anybody feeling bad for me, Like I don't want sympathy.
Speaker 9: I want empathy. I want people to understand that everyone
Speaker 9: has challenges that they are that they go through in
Speaker 9: their life, whether it's permanent or temporary, and wheelchair users
Speaker 9: can be very sexy and we have lives that are intimate,
Speaker 9: and we want lives that are intimate, and we can
Speaker 9: have very fulfilling lives like I'm a mom, I work
Speaker 9: full time. I drive, it's amazing. I love my life.
Speaker 9: And I use a wheelchair and it's okay.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this more during break. I don't
Speaker 2: say I was missing a right foot. I wouldn't disclose that.
Speaker 2: I want to just close it. Let's say I's missing
Speaker 2: a left arm, my right eye doesn't work.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Close that crap. I just if I don't hate the
Speaker 2: guy for not disclosing it. I don't think it's cat
Speaker 2: fishing again, perch fishing, I can get like hat fishing.
Speaker 2: I think it's perch fishing. I don't think it's cat fishing,
Speaker 2: which is why it's not called cat fishing. It's messed up.
Speaker 2: But I just think if you're probably told no so
Speaker 2: many times without even giving a chance, you'd probably get
Speaker 2: to the point where you're like, all right, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go into this, and I'm gonna not have this preconceived
Speaker 2: notion of what I can and can't do. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: show up and then then if they want to say no,
Speaker 2: but they're probably gonna feel so guilty when I get
Speaker 2: there to say no, they're going to go on the
Speaker 2: date with me, and then I have a chance. Once
Speaker 2: you're in the room, you got a chance. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: how I feel after the.
Speaker 3: Break, even after what she said about just that she
Speaker 3: used to do that but then it didn't really work
Speaker 3: out for her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh okay, yeah, because I don't really feel like
Speaker 2: she was pro or anti my feeling. I just know
Speaker 2: me as my feeling, I would have been like, man,
Speaker 2: if I've been told no so many times because it's
Speaker 2: something unfairly happened to me, I'm not even gonna allow
Speaker 2: this to be a barrier until it's a barrier. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean even then, I may even lie, may even
Speaker 2: do like aim Heather, I really appreciate the call. Thank
Speaker 2: you for sharing your story with us.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: All right, I have a great day. Let's go to
Speaker 2: Eric and Oklahoma City.
Speaker 4: Eric.
Speaker 2: Let's go Eric, You're on what's up?
Speaker 4: Buddy?
Speaker 11: Hey Bobby? First of all, morning studio.
Speaker 5: So Bobby, I have a question for you, sir.
Speaker 11: Were you at the OU Alabama?
Speaker 3: Gag?
Speaker 2: No? I was not?
Speaker 11: Why well, because I run a dominoes in Oklahoma City
Speaker 11: and there was a gentleman that came in, and I
Speaker 11: could have sworn that it was you, clean shaven, almost.
Speaker 3: The white like a It was like a cream cream turtleneck.
Speaker 11: We looked up your face from the Bobby Show, the
Speaker 11: Bobby Bone Show, h page and I'm telling you, dude,
Speaker 11: you have a twin out there, you know, married identical twin.
Speaker 2: Most people just think somebody in dark grim glasses in
Speaker 2: my twin. I'll get tagged on stuff and look, I
Speaker 2: know I am no beauty queen, trust me. However, there
Speaker 2: are some busted dudes. They get that. I get tagged
Speaker 2: down like I think it's Bobby Bones, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: look again, I know I ain't at ten. I'm not
Speaker 2: little insulted right now that you think that's me.
Speaker 3: There's other clues, though, not that your wife is from Oklahoma,
Speaker 3: so it makes sense you might be at an Oklahoma game. Also,
Speaker 3: creme color.
Speaker 4: A couple of things.
Speaker 2: One Oklahoma city, I guess is a north of Norman
Speaker 2: forty five.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I guess you don't wear turtlenecks, dude,
Speaker 5: a cream color turtleneck.
Speaker 3: I could see it. I mean, I got I don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the next I agree there's because my
Speaker 2: wife is from Oklahoma. All my family they're massive OU fans. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it makes sense. My point was sometimes they'll be like, hey,
Speaker 2: we see Bobby Bones here and it's like, uh oh,
Speaker 2: you guys with glasses, and I'm like, that's not me.
Speaker 2: I'm not slop with glasses because I have glasses on.
Speaker 2: But if I was, I'd lie in my profile, if
Speaker 2: I was dating and new, and I'd be like, no,
Speaker 2: this is you know, give me a chance. Hey, Eric,
Speaker 2: that was not me. Did the person tip? Well, at least.
Speaker 13: They did, And that was the other thing.
Speaker 11: Amy actually hit it on the head. I'm a longtime
Speaker 11: listener about ten years, and I know that your wife's
Speaker 11: family and all that stuff out here, and the other
Speaker 11: thing you kind of sawt oz. I've never heard you
Speaker 11: talk about pepperoni pizches, and that's what this guy got.
Speaker 3: But other than that, it was pretty.
Speaker 11: Much identically you. So I'm telling you genetically, you got
Speaker 11: another another Bobby running around.
Speaker 2: I need to see the person I know anyway, glasses.
Speaker 2: I need to see the person. So let me ask this, Eric.
Speaker 2: If let's say somebody is really nice on the phone,
Speaker 2: if they do a phone order anymore I'm not sure
Speaker 2: how many phone orders there are versus like online orders now,
Speaker 2: because back in the day we'd have to call on
Speaker 2: the phone. If they're really nice, would you do like
Speaker 2: extra pepperonis for them?
Speaker 11: Oh? Absolutely, and oh absolutely.
Speaker 2: Yeah, more more with honey than vinegar. You now be
Speaker 2: nice people. They do nice things. Okay, Eric, Well, I'm
Speaker 2: sorry that wasn't me. I do love pepperoni pizza. Nothing
Speaker 2: else on ad pizza last night, by the way, and
Speaker 2: I ordered no peppers. Guess what they put on it?
Speaker 4: Peppers?
Speaker 2: Peppers take them. Yeah, but it runs the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Then you got to get in and it rips the
Speaker 2: cheese up. It just it killed thirty percent of the
Speaker 2: pizza eating experience because they put peppers on there.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: It leaves that crust exposed on and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's like you have to because they cook them.
Speaker 2: It wasn't his place. It wasn't Eric's place. Domino's wasn't it.
Speaker 2: But I get the pizza and I almost want to
Speaker 2: give up on dinner. Like I look at Kaitlin, I
Speaker 2: was like, I don't want to eat and she's like, why,
Speaker 2: I said, because there are peppers on the pizza. I
Speaker 2: didn't order peppers. She's like, pick them off. I'm like,
Speaker 2: first of all, I shouldn't have to. Second of all,
Speaker 2: it ruins the pizza, rips the cheese up. It doesn't
Speaker 2: taste the same. The chemistry of the pizza is not
Speaker 2: the same.
Speaker 6: Correct.
Speaker 3: What kind of peppers are we talking here?
Speaker 4: Red ones?
Speaker 2: I hate red ones. Now I'll do peppercini peppers. Only
Speaker 2: kind of peppers. I like, I love peppercini peppers. If
Speaker 2: I didn't order them on this, all I ordered was
Speaker 2: straight pepperoni, and there were peppers on and it even
Speaker 2: makes the cheese tastes weird because it's cooked in there.
Speaker 2: I hate red peppers, and so I just do a fit.
Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't want to eat dinner.
Speaker 2: She's like, you're four, eat your foods. Yes, And you
Speaker 2: know what else it is? You know what I think
Speaker 2: it is. If I could just be really honest about it,
Speaker 2: you're tired. No, it really I'm pretty good because we're
Speaker 2: about to go into like Thanksgiving and so okay, I'm
Speaker 2: pretty good. The Arkansas football season has been a disaster.
Speaker 2: It's been a disaster.
Speaker 3: This is really nothing. This is not about peppers.
Speaker 2: It is about peppers.
Speaker 3: Because it runs the pizza, because I think that you
Speaker 3: are an adult and you know how to pick the
Speaker 3: peppers off and still eat it.
Speaker 2: Not the same, It's still not the same. But I
Speaker 2: think the reason I almost gave up on eating dinner
Speaker 2: at all and just went to bed hungry is because
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm malnourished in enjoyment of college football because
Speaker 2: we suck.
Speaker 3: How are you'all going to be a basketball hopefully better?
Speaker 2: We're twenty right now, they were four and one.
Speaker 3: Struggle bo forward, look forward to that, Like there's.
Speaker 2: Softball, but again, none of that matters. None of that matter,
Speaker 2: Like it's football season. That's the biggest time of the year.
Speaker 2: Basketball is close. Do you have like a lacrosse team maybe,
Speaker 2: I think an Arkansas I don't have a cross somewhere,
Speaker 2: but we didn't have swim pools at our We don't
Speaker 2: have any of that. Tennis well, okay, anyway, I think
Speaker 2: that was part of the pizza meltdown, if we're being honest.
Speaker 2: We did win, but we beat Louisiana Tech and we
Speaker 2: were like, in the first quarter, it was like, what's happening?
Speaker 2: Like put me in is what I felt like. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I just think I think all the way to the
Speaker 2: football season is if anybody else is struggling out there today,
Speaker 2: Ole Miss fans, Alabama fans, I'm with you, A and
Speaker 2: M fans. Yeah, you guys still have a chance. Won
Speaker 2: the national championship. Yeah, but game lost in multiple overtimes.
Speaker 2: And I'll say this, if you beat Texas and then
Speaker 2: you play in the se championship game and then you
Speaker 2: beat Georgia, you're still in the college football payoff. I
Speaker 2: am you used to have a road Arkansas. You know
Speaker 2: what our road is? Road back home?
Speaker 4: Let me do you turn?
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I don't know. Let me get
Speaker 2: out of this. I just really wanted that pizza and
Speaker 2: I ate it, ate like half of it. And I
Speaker 2: took a bath, and you know what, I was told,
Speaker 2: I just took a bath. That doesn't count as a shower.
Speaker 2: And you know what, I didn't like that because I
Speaker 2: need to rinse off after well, I knew. I got
Speaker 2: out of the bath and she said, did you take
Speaker 2: a shower? And I said why, I just took a
Speaker 2: bath and she was like, no, you know, you need
Speaker 2: to take a shower because you didn't rinse off before
Speaker 2: the bats. All you're like dirt's like floating around. And
Speaker 2: she was like, did you use soap? And I was
Speaker 2: like no, I took a bath and she was like, okay,
Speaker 2: take go take a shower. So then I go take
Speaker 2: a shower if already dried off. I'm telling you, it's
Speaker 2: all rooted in Arkansas, sucking ball. It sucks because I
Speaker 2: love Arkansas for more than anything else except for my
Speaker 2: wife and my dogs. And it probably sometimes jumps over dogs.
Speaker 2: And be honest with you, if you take a bath,
Speaker 2: he counts to the shower. Anyway, I'm out. Thanks Ray.
Speaker 2: I'd seen this story and this guy and we may
Speaker 2: have talked about it on this show where the guy
Speaker 2: his kayak was found and they found a bunch of
Speaker 2: his belongings in the water. Was it this show we
Speaker 2: talked about it? I don't know. I do it like
Speaker 2: eighty four million shows? Think so okay. So his name
Speaker 2: is Ryan, he is in Wisconsin. He's gone, he's disappeared,
Speaker 2: and they found a bunch of was crapping like did
Speaker 2: he died? They can't find him. Turns out he faked
Speaker 2: his death and ran away with his mistress to another country.
Speaker 3: So this guy the dad, Oh, and how he got busted.
Speaker 3: Is crazy.
Speaker 2: We didn't get bussed. He sent his own video in
Speaker 2: a proof of life video. Oh I didn't know that different.
Speaker 3: Okay, there's okay, we'll follows.
Speaker 2: Constant husband who faked his own death and ran away
Speaker 2: with his mistress taunted police by sending them a proof
Speaker 2: of life video, but he also refused to tell him
Speaker 2: who he was. So people are like, is that even
Speaker 2: him look like him? I watched the video and then
Speaker 2: I watched people like doing the side by side on TikTok.
Speaker 2: It's him, it's him. Yeah, as if Ryan. He flipped
Speaker 2: his kayak August eleventh, dumping his phone and belongings in
Speaker 2: the water, before paddling to safety on an inflatable boat
Speaker 2: and ebiking more than fifty miles to Madison overnight. They
Speaker 2: learned in October that he crossed the border into Canada
Speaker 2: a few days after his disappearance and had been communicating
Speaker 2: with an Uzbek woman who spoke Russian. I guess Uzbek
Speaker 2: is like Uzbeka. Through her, the Sheriff's office was able
Speaker 2: to get in contact with the father of three and
Speaker 2: asked him to answer questions only he would know, and
Speaker 2: film a video of himself which he did in the video.
Speaker 2: Who he had not contacted his family since his disappearance,
Speaker 2: showed off his apartment, telling officers, I'm safe, secure, no problems.
Speaker 2: Authorities do not know where the man is, which, by
Speaker 2: the way, watching the video, there is no marking of anything,
Speaker 2: like it's all just generic wall. It's like gray, you
Speaker 2: can't tell. There's nothing that says Uzbekis stands for lovers,
Speaker 2: you know, nothing like down in the background. Has not
Speaker 2: contacted his family since his disappearance. He said, I'm safe, secure,
Speaker 2: no problems. Authorities do not know exactly where he is.
Speaker 2: They suspect Eastern Europe. They do not believe he's in danger.
Speaker 2: He has not yet decided to return home, this from
Speaker 2: the Daily Mail. Regardless, getting in contact with him was
Speaker 2: a big turning point in the investigation because now they
Speaker 2: can not try to find him sure or worry that
Speaker 2: he's dead, or worry that he's being hell. I would
Speaker 2: have thought, though, if I'm him and I have some
Speaker 2: whos Becca's stany girlfriend online this somebody was like ready
Speaker 2: to scam alert me like this is the one instance.
Speaker 2: It was a real lady. Yeah, yeah, So he'll be
Speaker 2: coming back. He'll be regretting this in like six months
Speaker 2: and me begging his wife take me back their family.
Speaker 2: I'm messed up.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because this is not lasting love, go ahead and okay.
Speaker 3: So the reason why he ended up sending this in
Speaker 3: as proof of life is because he ended up on
Speaker 3: this one girl's viral TikTok where he was riding his
Speaker 3: bike and she was holding up a sign that said
Speaker 3: like ask me for free advice, and they start talking
Speaker 3: and she's filming it for TikTok and he brings up
Speaker 3: as Bekistan in the thing. And then later she sees
Speaker 3: some video about how this guy faked his death and
Speaker 3: there was this whole thing and she was like, oh
Speaker 3: my gosh, that guy was in my viral TikTok video
Speaker 3: and like he outed himself that way.
Speaker 2: But this is before the flip of the kayak. He
Speaker 2: had just mentioned that he wasn't like on his bike
Speaker 2: toward Canada running and he stopped be in the video.
Speaker 3: The viral video. Yeah, this is pre Oh no, I
Speaker 3: think he was in the viral video after he faked
Speaker 3: his death.
Speaker 2: And she's like, so that's the stupidest guy ever, because
Speaker 2: that's all that too. Why would you get in a
Speaker 2: viral video when you've already eat it.
Speaker 3: I don't think he knew it was gonna go viral
Speaker 3: anybody's video. I know, well he was just.
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
Speaker 3: That's what I'm thinking, like if you if you faked
Speaker 3: your own death, and like, don't stop for anybody's video anywhere.
Speaker 4: Because I saw that.
Speaker 2: I just assumed that was before. Because idiot would have
Speaker 2: such a perfect plan to flip, leave the stuff, have
Speaker 2: a route to get on an e bike, get to
Speaker 2: not a car where they can an e bike to
Speaker 2: get to Canada, get across the border, get out of here, right.
Speaker 2: But he stops because someone's like ask me for advice
Speaker 2: on TikTok.
Speaker 3: And I'm filming it. Yeah, Like that's just that's just general,
Speaker 3: Like if you fake your desk, don't do that.
Speaker 5: Just what a coward move though, so great your death
Speaker 5: to go with some girls. She looked like, I'm sure
Speaker 5: she's pretty, right, maybe doesn't have to I'm talking about it.
Speaker 5: He's back and stand right right, I mean, leaving your
Speaker 5: whole family for someone, I'm assuming she's pretty.
Speaker 2: I always sure she's a she like I was sure
Speaker 2: it's a real person, because he could get there in
Speaker 2: that apartment Sti'll be waiting for her to show up,
Speaker 2: like we don't know. Yeah, because he doesn't sound legit.
Speaker 2: It sounds like what LifeLock needs to come in and help.
Speaker 3: Oh so sad. He's a father of three.
Speaker 4: That's tough.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bet this though he probably wasn't an a
Speaker 2: plus father at three leading into this situation.
Speaker 3: Good. That's good assessment there.
Speaker 2: And he's gonna begging. He's gonna begging back soon enough.
Speaker 2: But he's gonna be in trouble when he comes back
Speaker 2: because he had the police looking for him.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, he does.
Speaker 14: He asked the woman, should I go to it Uzbekistan
Speaker 14: or stay here with my family?
Speaker 2: Is that pre or post the debt?
Speaker 14: That the flip though, it has to be pre because
Speaker 14: it has to be pres in the daytime, and it's No.
Speaker 4: He's on the e bike and that again.
Speaker 2: That doesn't just because he has the e bike.
Speaker 14: Maybe he's just practicing on the e bike, which, by
Speaker 14: the way, I have an ee bike.
Speaker 2: Stupidest thing ever I forget. Really, yeah, I would. I
Speaker 2: wrote it once around the yard. I'd sell it for
Speaker 2: half price. But you don't have to pedal. You do
Speaker 2: for a minute, then you hit the thing and it
Speaker 2: keeps you going.
Speaker 4: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: I ain't trying to escape Tobekistan though, so maybe I
Speaker 2: don't need it anyway, as a wild story, there are
Speaker 2: other options.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you can, no, no, no, because he took a
Speaker 14: life life insurance out and so he probably put the
Speaker 14: beneficiary as the woman is ubescus stand or whatever.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't that scream if you switch it and
Speaker 2: then run immediately.
Speaker 14: He opened a new policy, so the wife knew nothing
Speaker 14: about it, and he left us. He had to get
Speaker 14: a new passport because he said he couldn't find his,
Speaker 14: so when authorities went to his house, his wife's like, no,
Speaker 14: his passports right here.
Speaker 2: Like he but again to set up a policy and
Speaker 2: then you die within a couple of months.
Speaker 4: It's fishy.
Speaker 2: It seems fishy, like it.
Speaker 13: It was a camp on the body that they even
Speaker 13: pay out.
Speaker 3: Well, why do people think that they can take out
Speaker 3: an insurance policy? And then.
Speaker 4: I don't know, that's the oldest trick in the book man.
Speaker 3: That is yes, it's like also that's and then also
Speaker 3: if you're going to murder your spouse, so you take
Speaker 3: out this insurance policy on there and then you killed
Speaker 3: him the next day. It's like, what are you thinking?
Speaker 3: And then I apologize, Bobby, you are right. I think
Speaker 3: that that video came out before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did too.
Speaker 4: He had a legit question.
Speaker 2: Maybe she's what told him, but he's like, this girl
Speaker 2: is not very smart.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I guess that's just really the whole story.
Speaker 2: And mark mark this date though, what was it November
Speaker 2: twenty fifth, by like June of first of next year.
Speaker 2: Either either he's gonna be dead please take me back,
Speaker 2: or or we're gonna find We're gonna find out that
Speaker 2: he was scammed, or he'll be He'll be back. I'm back,
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. Yeah, and he'll probably have like it'd
Speaker 2: be famous on TikTok. He makes some money from this.
Speaker 13: The sheriff says it's not him in the video, but
Speaker 13: who else says.
Speaker 2: A story about leaving his wife to go to.
Speaker 4: Who Bessie who, whatever the heck it is.
Speaker 2: It does look like him. It looks just like him. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but again, he's bald, he's pretty. He is a pretty
Speaker 2: generic looking dude too, and what if it's not him?
Speaker 2: Greatest troll ever by the guy who randomly sees and
Speaker 2: sees the story and goes, dang, I kind of look
Speaker 2: like him. Let me see if I control it the world. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that is a bizarre story. We'll post it up. If
Speaker 2: you guys want to see it up on our social
Speaker 2: media pages, you go to our Facebook page at Bobby
Speaker 2: Bone Show Bobby Bone Show up today.
Speaker 13: This story comes us from Michigan. A man was upset
Speaker 13: because a car cut him off in traffic, so they
Speaker 13: get to the next stop light.
Speaker 4: What's he do?
Speaker 13: Wh boom wh boom boom rams this car into the
Speaker 13: car in front him three times and drives off like, man,
Speaker 13: who did that? Oh man, a license plate fell off.
Speaker 8: It's a bumper.
Speaker 3: He didn't imprint it on there.
Speaker 2: Quite the bonehead. Do you know the craziest license plate
Speaker 2: falling off story ever? Oklahoma City bombing. Oh yeah, they
Speaker 2: found him. Yeah, because the explosion was so big boom,
Speaker 2: shook it off, shook the license plate off, was driving away,
Speaker 2: would have gotten away, but a cop pulled him over
Speaker 2: because he had no license plate. And then when he
Speaker 2: pulls him over when no license plate, doesn't know that
Speaker 2: it's the bomber. He has a gun on him in
Speaker 2: the car and it's like, I'm taking you to jail,
Speaker 2: held him in jail without knowing he was the bomber.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 13: Oh, and I'm learning this from you know this. I
Speaker 13: think I've heard this before, Bobby's told it.
Speaker 4: Maybe, but I didn't know.
Speaker 13: I thought maybe he pulled him over because a license
Speaker 13: plate and like, oh, you're the bomber.
Speaker 2: But and even that would have been crazy. Even that
Speaker 2: would have been like wow. But he was pulled over
Speaker 2: about eighty miles north of Oklahoma City by an Oklahoma
Speaker 2: State trooper who noticed a missing Lin's plate and he
Speaker 2: had a concealed weapon. He was arrested. It was about
Speaker 2: ninety minutes after the bombing, and he was in prison
Speaker 2: as they were looking for the person, so they didn't
Speaker 2: know they had it home.
Speaker 4: That was crazy.
Speaker 2: So anyway, likes to play falling off out of there.
Speaker 8: That is the craziest life.
Speaker 2: You're gonna do legal stuff. Make sure it's locked on there.
Speaker 13: Okay, I'm lunchbox at your bonehead Story of the day.
Speaker 8: Okay, what happened to you? Okay, I was at a restaurant.
Speaker 8: I'm sitting at the bar and I see a table
Speaker 8: that's kind of like messy, right, like the people just left.
Speaker 8: They hadn't turned it over yet. They hadn't turned it
Speaker 8: over yet. And on the ground was money, but it
Speaker 8: was folded up. I don't know what it was, but
Speaker 8: I could tell it was a bill. So I go
Speaker 8: over there and I unwrapped the bill. It's fifty dollars.
Speaker 2: Did you look around first to go huh? Nobody hasn't
Speaker 2: seen this money? Because I think I'll be like, is
Speaker 2: anybody watching that I'm gonna pick up this money?
Speaker 8: Yeah? I did look around, but I got the money
Speaker 8: and then I went back to the bar and I
Speaker 8: unwrapped it and I looked at I'm like, gosh, what
Speaker 8: do I do with this? So I don't know. It
Speaker 8: looked like somebody was there at the table, and maybe
Speaker 8: it was a tip, maybe falling off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I would assume, that it fell off
Speaker 2: the table.
Speaker 8: But I mean it was far enough from the table too,
Speaker 8: maybe it wasn't a tip.
Speaker 2: Question was a receipt still on the table?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 8: Two cups, half drank chips, salsa, all that.
Speaker 2: So it probably was from the table, right, possibly? Okay,
Speaker 2: so okay, you have them. Also, I would be afraid
Speaker 2: that somebody saw me pick it up, and then if
Speaker 2: I kept it, they would also see that, right, and
Speaker 2: then they would be like, you just stole money from
Speaker 2: a table.
Speaker 8: And that would be terrible, especially if it was a tip. Okay,
Speaker 8: so then what did you do? So I decided to
Speaker 8: just go back and leave it on the table. Even
Speaker 8: if it wasn't a tip, that server was gonna get
Speaker 8: a fifty dollars tip.
Speaker 2: I don't think you should give yourself too much credit here,
Speaker 2: because I think that's what that was from.
Speaker 8: I don't know, though, man, that could have been fifty
Speaker 8: dollars in my pocket.
Speaker 2: No, you're right, it could have been fifty dollars in
Speaker 2: your pocket. But I think it was from like somebody
Speaker 2: would have probably been accused of dining and dashing had
Speaker 2: you not put that back on the table. Oh oh gosh,
Speaker 2: what if it was for the whole Maybe for the
Speaker 2: whole same guess from the table?
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I was just taking the tip.
Speaker 2: I didn't think of that, no, because that's you know,
Speaker 2: that's a two hundred and fifty dollars tab. Yeah, with
Speaker 2: the fifty dollars tip. If they're leaving that.
Speaker 3: As cash, yeah, and you're at chips and salsa, that
Speaker 3: you're right, that's probably for the whole bill.
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody would have been accused of dining and dashing.
Speaker 2: But also you've got to secure your money a little
Speaker 2: more too.
Speaker 3: Yeeah.
Speaker 2: If you're leaving cash on the table, correct, I think
Speaker 2: you made the only choice you could have made, because
Speaker 2: somebody probably would have saw you stealing that money.
Speaker 8: Gosh, I really wanted that fifty dollars.
Speaker 2: Did you need it that bad? You're still regretting not
Speaker 2: keeping it.
Speaker 8: No, but it's the coolest thing ever when you find
Speaker 8: money on the ground.
Speaker 2: Yes, but you didn't find money on the ground. You
Speaker 2: found money under a table where somebody had just eaten,
Speaker 2: and you probably realized did you see the people that
Speaker 2: were sitting there?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 8: I never saw them. And when I put the money back,
Speaker 8: I went back to the bar and I was talking
Speaker 8: to my friend. I kept looking. The server never got
Speaker 8: the money, so I don't even know if the server
Speaker 8: ever got the tip, because I left before that happened.
Speaker 2: I don't know there was the tip too. I think
Speaker 2: he stopped saying it about the tip or the bill
Speaker 2: money whatever that.
Speaker 8: Was the bill?
Speaker 2: Now, did you want to be celebrated for that?
Speaker 8: I thought I made a good choice. I think the
Speaker 8: Good Lord saw me do that.
Speaker 2: So you do want to be celebrated and recognized for it.
Speaker 2: Maybe a little bit so you were doing okay, because
Speaker 2: what would you have done? I mean, I know what
Speaker 2: you would have done. You would have put it back
Speaker 2: on the table. I would have said, hey, I would
Speaker 2: have went to the bartender and say, hey, this fell
Speaker 2: off the table. I'm sure this is for the bill.
Speaker 2: Oh and there's giving it back to somebody, and they
Speaker 2: would have made sure that that was the thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't think about that.
Speaker 2: If you leave cash on a table, I've seen people
Speaker 2: walk by sp especially when I was waiting tables and
Speaker 2: take the money from a table as they walk back,
Speaker 2: like steal it. Like if there's just cash and they're
Speaker 2: walking out and there's just cash, I've seen people grab
Speaker 2: the money. That's crazy, like they would see it, strategize
Speaker 2: how they're going to do it, grab it and walk out.
Speaker 2: It's like when you watch a TikTok videos people grab
Speaker 2: it in the tip jars. You ever see those, no
Speaker 2: like if like a a or not even tip jars,
Speaker 2: but the like you live a couple of bucks for
Speaker 2: you know, sick kids or something in the jar on
Speaker 2: a gas station. Yeah, so like, hey, I'll take something
Speaker 2: from back there, and as soon as a person turns around,
Speaker 2: they go hand in take the cash. Yeah, it was
Speaker 2: kind of like that, the kind of move. And also
Speaker 2: there are cameras all in the restaurant. It just hold on.
Speaker 2: Good job, buddy, Thank you man, you did something good.
Speaker 2: Thank you, and that's all you did something good. If
Speaker 2: you'd just stolen that, and that makes.
Speaker 8: It wouldn't have stolen though it was on the ground.
Speaker 8: That's the only reason I thought I possibly it could
Speaker 8: be just lost money, and I found it. It was
Speaker 8: lost money, but lost money for the waiter.
Speaker 2: We're done here, goodbye everybody.
Speaker 3: Bobby and Bone.
Speaker 2: You can find us on Facebook two at Bobby Bone's
Speaker 2: show on The Bobby Bones Show.

Speaker 6: the all of us country y'all. Don't think, no, not
Speaker 6: any of the ones that I know personally like that,
Speaker 6: because I'm thinking, you know, there's a whole new generation
Speaker 6: coming up that I don't even know what they look like.
Speaker 6: I know their names, I see their music comes on
Speaker 6: the radio, all that stuff, but I don't know what
Speaker 6: they look like. I do know what guys like Luke
Speaker 6: Bryan looks like and Jason Aldean, and they're ugly. To me,
Speaker 6: I'm not don't find them attractive, you know, like Sam Hunt,
Speaker 6: really lower the bar? Say what Sam Hunt? Uh, he's
Speaker 6: better looking than than than Luke and Jason. Apparently he
Speaker 6: must be high on your list. You just kind of
Speaker 6: hurled him out there that you got a little bit
Speaker 6: defensive about Sam. But about Sam, h Riley Green, I'll
Speaker 6: give that.
Speaker 3: No Riley Green.
Speaker 6: Uh is it mustache rap much?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Far better than Luke?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. I feel like you, like think these guys
Speaker 3: are high, you're just scared to say it.
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, what.
Speaker 3: Like Lunchbucks? For example? He says he cannot tell if
Speaker 3: a man is attractive or not.
Speaker 6: What I mean, what's wrong with that?
Speaker 3: Well, I've been thinking about you a lot, Blake, and
Speaker 3: I saw that Old Red there's this. I don't know
Speaker 3: if it's a new concoction, maybe it's been on there
Speaker 3: a while, but it's a pomena cheese artichoke dip. Are
Speaker 3: you familiar No? Okay, Well that's incredible. It's on your
Speaker 3: menu at all, Red. And it got me thinking about
Speaker 3: weird food combos and if you have any that you'll
Speaker 3: admit to that you eat at home, Like, are there
Speaker 3: any concoctions like this is weird? But it's just so good.
Speaker 6: Well, my brothers when I was a little kid, Uh
Speaker 6: my brother used to mix like this regular like pancakes
Speaker 6: syrup with peanut butter and mix that and put it
Speaker 6: on a piece of bread. I don't even know if
Speaker 6: it had a name. We used to call it mix
Speaker 6: and that was our treat when we were kids. Regular
Speaker 6: like maple, you know whatever, Griffins whatever, syrup and peanut butter.
Speaker 3: Do you ever eat mix like now as an adult?
Speaker 6: No, that's but I haven't thought about it in years.
Speaker 6: I remember one time we used to have a Dar's
Speaker 6: where uh, we would try to, like you know, as kids,
Speaker 6: like mix up the grossest crap you can think of,
Speaker 6: you know, to eat like a combination of something and
Speaker 6: then dare you know, it's whoever's turn it was, had
Speaker 6: to eat it. And I watched my sister eat mayonnaise
Speaker 6: and and Nestle's Quick one time mixed together. Oh gosh,
Speaker 6: it's still to this day is horrifying to me.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, no, that's not a good agree, that's gross, man,
Speaker 8: that's disgusting.
Speaker 2: Yeah I had to eat.
Speaker 3: She's gross. Yeah, I did. We would. I think all
Speaker 3: kids did that. And one time I mixed up a
Speaker 3: bunch of like really good ingredients from the fridge but
Speaker 3: with dirt and my mom thought I was wasting food,
Speaker 3: so she made me eat it.
Speaker 6: Oh wow, yeah, how was it?
Speaker 3: It was disgusting. So I don't I don't, I don't
Speaker 3: recommend that, you know. I decided to ask AI, like
Speaker 3: to describe Blake Shelton in three words? Do you want
Speaker 3: to know the three?
Speaker 6: Sure?
Speaker 3: Charismatic? Oh okay, authentic and hilarious. Man I love, I
Speaker 3: love right yeah. I feel was very complimentary.
Speaker 6: Because that made me nervous because AI only knows to
Speaker 6: tell the truth, right yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, which, speaking of while I do have some fun
Speaker 3: facts about you, I have no idea if they're actually
Speaker 3: true or not. So you could say, if.
Speaker 6: They are, where did you get these facts from the internet? Compedi? Okay,
Speaker 6: well you're just like google it, you know, like love Wikipedia.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Are you so you're not into bare feet? Like to
Speaker 3: bare feet freak you out?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So like you always have socks on, or like if
Speaker 3: you're with people, they have to have socks on.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 6: I think this started. Uh, I don't know when it was.
Speaker 6: There was a trend and it may still be going.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 6: In country music, there was a handful of artists that
Speaker 6: they would perform in their bare feet, like walk out
Speaker 6: on a festival stage and and and in their bare feet,
Speaker 6: and and it kind of started there for me. It's like, man,
Speaker 6: what what are you doing? You know, it's not it's
Speaker 6: not as much about that it's someone's foot, because I mean,
Speaker 6: who cares about that? But it's like, what if there's
Speaker 6: an emergency? And then it switched into uh, guys wearing
Speaker 6: flat flops. That really started bothering me. The older I
Speaker 6: got that buffet started off. Yeah, well, it's like if
Speaker 6: there's an emergency, that's pretty much you have shown yourself
Speaker 6: to be the guy that's not going to help anybody
Speaker 6: in the room. Like if there's a fire something's going on,
Speaker 6: you can't help. You got on your flip flops. You
Speaker 6: got to go save yourself.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a good point.
Speaker 6: And this guy's in here wearing our cowboy boots will
Speaker 6: help get the children out of the building.
Speaker 3: So do you not own a pair of flip flops?
Speaker 6: Oh god, no?
Speaker 3: So do you? Well you only wear cowboy boots? And
Speaker 3: like maybe running shoes, what.
Speaker 8: About like crocs.
Speaker 6: I'm a big runner, but I do I have shoes
Speaker 6: and boots.
Speaker 3: Like running would be the running shoes would come in
Speaker 3: handy on.
Speaker 6: A pair of flip flops.
Speaker 3: Okay, right, what do you do for, you know, working
Speaker 3: out treadmill?
Speaker 6: I'll get I'll get on treadmill for like thirty minutes
Speaker 6: or maybe forty five minutes. I do like it's like
Speaker 6: a combination like walk for twenty eight minutes and then
Speaker 6: mix in like thirty seconds of runs here and there.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, next fun fact that we don't know if
Speaker 3: it's true or not. You once caught an intruder at
Speaker 3: your uncle's house and detained the drunken man yourself until
Speaker 3: the police arrived.
Speaker 6: Let's go, Well, it detained him was you know, It's
Speaker 6: not like I had him down on the floor and
Speaker 6: you know, saying don't move.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 2: It was more like.
Speaker 6: And drunk. I think he had a lot of stuff
Speaker 6: in his system, you know. And I really think he
Speaker 6: taught in his mind. That's where he lived, you know.
Speaker 3: And and and.
Speaker 6: So my uncle, who was special needs, he called and said, hey,
Speaker 6: you know, there's this guy in my house and he's
Speaker 6: just like sitting on the couch saying, you know, he
Speaker 6: lives here. And so my initial thought was, you know,
Speaker 6: what's going on? Over there in and knocked on my
Speaker 6: uncle's I can't even believe I'm telling this. I hadn't
Speaker 6: thought about this in fifteen years or more. And the
Speaker 6: guy answered the door as if it was his house,
Speaker 6: like yeah, can I help you? It's like, yeah, get
Speaker 6: the hell out of this house. You know, what are
Speaker 6: you doing?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 6: And he's like, what are you talking about? I go,
Speaker 6: you know what I'm talking about, like one of those deals.
Speaker 6: And meanwhile the police are coming, and I just kept
Speaker 6: him entertained, you know, until they got there.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad you clarified it, because I definitely was
Speaker 3: picturing you, like sitting on top of him, no, entertaining
Speaker 3: like citizens arrest.
Speaker 11: What was that me?
Speaker 8: Entertaining? You didn't sing a song or anything, did you?
Speaker 6: I may have, I don't know. I just pulled up guitar,
Speaker 6: keep everything.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 3: You think when that guy sobered up, he's like, huh,
Speaker 3: so Blake Shelton just came over?
Speaker 4: No, I don't.
Speaker 6: I think even sober, he wouldn't have known who I was.
Speaker 6: This man had other things on his mind.
Speaker 3: Uh, your mom put you in pageants when you were younger.
Speaker 6: Are you saying that just because then you say that,
Speaker 6: and then you just stare.
Speaker 3: At me with like, because that's the fun fact.
Speaker 6: Disappointed look on your phone.
Speaker 3: No, not at all. No, I'm this is fun facts.
Speaker 3: Are they true or not?
Speaker 4: It is true?
Speaker 6: Okay, true because and here's why. The way I remember
Speaker 6: it is, I was already messing around with music, even
Speaker 6: when I was six, seven, eight years old. In my bedroom.
Speaker 6: I would just be in there, you know, playing Ted Nugent,
Speaker 6: Cat Scratch Fever and Hank Junior or whatever records my
Speaker 6: brother had. I'd be playing them as loud as I could,
Speaker 6: singing them into one of those little plug in microphones
Speaker 6: that you won't remember, but back in the day, you
Speaker 6: could have a little tiny microphone that you could record
Speaker 6: over cassettes with. And I would be singing into that microphone.
Speaker 6: And my mom finally decided maybe she should enter me
Speaker 6: into some of these pageants. In our Small Attackers, there's
Speaker 6: a talent portion of the pageant. You know, I got
Speaker 6: to sing a song on there. So she did. She
Speaker 6: entered me in, like, I don't know, probably four or
Speaker 6: five pageants, enough that I told her one day, Mama,
Speaker 6: I don't want to sing anymore. If that's the what
Speaker 6: I have to do to sing because it's embarrassing to
Speaker 6: be up there doing the evening where and stuff, you know,
Speaker 6: with all the little girls, and I'm the one boy,
Speaker 6: you know, and the pageant. So it was I was
Speaker 6: probably like twelve or thirteen before I started singing again,
Speaker 6: just like regular music events around our town back in Ada, Oklahoma. No,
Speaker 6: that's true. Also, that's where I'm from.
Speaker 3: We got that as a fact. Okay, we got two more,
Speaker 3: one being you've been confused for Joe Nichols so much
Speaker 3: so that people at festivals used to get mad at
Speaker 3: you for not playing songs like you know, probably tequila
Speaker 3: makes her clothes fall off.
Speaker 6: That's happened. That's happened with a lot of artists, you know,
Speaker 6: over the years, that being confused for other artists. I
Speaker 6: remember one time they used to have c M A
Speaker 6: fest over here at the Nashville fair Grounds back in
Speaker 6: the day, and there was a parking lot where all
Speaker 6: the artists could park to go in and sign autographs
Speaker 6: or whatever, you know. And I remember one time I
Speaker 6: was I used to have super long hair, like down
Speaker 6: halfway down the middle of my back, and I was
Speaker 6: leaving one time and fans had figured out they could.
Speaker 6: They could go stand next to the fence where that
Speaker 6: parking lot was, and then mess was standing in stupid
Speaker 6: lines in the in the building. They could catch their
Speaker 6: favorite artists right there going to their car and get autographs,
Speaker 6: you know. And so I was leaving, I had like
Speaker 6: one song out, maybe not even yet, and and I
Speaker 6: was almost in my car, and I heard some fans.
Speaker 8: Say Terry, Terry, Terry Clark.
Speaker 6: And I stopped and I started looking around, like, oh
Speaker 6: my god, Terry Clark's out here. And then when I
Speaker 6: look back at the fans, they were kind of like, oh,
Speaker 6: you know, and looked away, you know, and they were like,
Speaker 6: I realized they thought I was Terry Clark when I
Speaker 6: was leaving, And and I've told Terry this also. We
Speaker 6: don't know which one is more offended. But then uh,
Speaker 6: later on, uh it was Joe Nichols, because Joe and
Speaker 6: I had pretty much the same haircut at one point,
Speaker 6: and he came out and I do remember, like, you know,
Speaker 6: you didn't play Broken Heartsville, you know, at signing autographs
Speaker 6: after the show. I used to tell people in airports.
Speaker 6: They would come up and say, are you Joe Nichols?
Speaker 6: And I would say yes, and I hate kids and you,
Speaker 6: you know, just to try to get a leg up, you.
Speaker 3: Know, because back then competition.
Speaker 6: Yes, I was up against him on all the awards
Speaker 6: and stuff, so I screw him.
Speaker 3: And final fun fact, if it's true or not, Gwen
Speaker 3: Stefani says having you in her life as a miracle.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 6: That sounds like a stretch, doesn't it.
Speaker 3: I mean no, but I really did read, uh like
Speaker 3: a couple of days ago that she said, uh, meeting
Speaker 3: you was like a second chance at life. I'm paraphrasing,
Speaker 3: but I'm pretty sure that.
Speaker 6: I've seen this stuff too. I've been seeing it because
Speaker 6: she's you know, she's released an album oh yeah on Friday,
Speaker 6: and so I've been seeing you know, she's doing all
Speaker 6: the press and stuff, and I've been seeing this stuff too.
Speaker 6: It's it's the sweetest, nicest things. I can't believe that.
Speaker 6: I can't believe it, you know, I know, it's it's awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I felt like reading that it gives a lot
Speaker 3: of other people hope that maybe you're on their second
Speaker 3: chapter or third or whatever life.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: Well, I tell you, it's amazing, you know that to
Speaker 6: get this on this end of life, you know, I'm
Speaker 6: I'm forty eight now and to have only met my
Speaker 6: best friend, you know, eight or nine years ago, is
Speaker 6: pretty incredible. You know, you just never know what's out there,
Speaker 6: what's around the corner, and you know, she's just been
Speaker 6: everything she's saying, is I feel the same way. It's
Speaker 6: it's been an incredible connection. I don't know how else
Speaker 6: to explain it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I do feel like it does offer hope
Speaker 3: for people that maybe they're turning into that second chapter,
Speaker 3: whether it's age or just a divorce or you know,
Speaker 3: what is my life going to look like now? Because
Speaker 3: this isn't going how I expected it. But hearing people
Speaker 3: open up and say like, yeah, there are second chances
Speaker 3: out there. And it's not to say that the first part.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think she would change anything about
Speaker 3: any of that, obviously her kids and whatnot, but it's
Speaker 3: it was beautiful and it gave me some hope. Honestly.
Speaker 6: Well, I tell you too, And we were on rock bottom.
Speaker 6: We hit rock bottom before we found each other, you know,
Speaker 6: so that kind of that sounds worse when you say
Speaker 6: it like that, like you got you gotta it's going
Speaker 6: to get a lot worse. Before it gets But I
Speaker 6: don't mean it like that. But just when we thought
Speaker 6: that's well, that was going to be our run at it,
Speaker 6: you know, is when we found each other.
Speaker 3: What don't you think hitting rock bottom? Then you evolve
Speaker 3: into this next version of yourself, Like that's the stuff
Speaker 3: that stretches you and grows. So if y'all had met earlier,
Speaker 3: it probably wouldn't have been the right time because it's
Speaker 3: this version of both of you that y'all needed.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's true, But it's fun for us to think
Speaker 6: about what if we would have known each other, like
Speaker 6: way way back, what would have been like you know,
Speaker 6: She's written on a lot of songs about that. You know,
Speaker 6: I think there's even one on this new record about that,
Speaker 6: because you know, it's just it's just, like I say,
Speaker 6: it's amazing that this chapter started so late in our lives.
Speaker 3: You know, she's got new music, You've got new music.
Speaker 3: You know, Austin was your first number one song way
Speaker 3: back in the day, and then now you kind of
Speaker 3: got a completely got Austin, and now I got Texas,
Speaker 3: which I was born and raised in Austin, Texas. Oh no, kidd,
Speaker 3: shout out, and so Texas I immediately gravitated towards it
Speaker 3: when it came out, and huge George Strait fan as well.
Speaker 11: Love that.
Speaker 3: He gets a shout out in the chorus. Why did
Speaker 3: you decide to cut that song?
Speaker 6: Well, I just fell in love with it the first
Speaker 6: time I heard it. And you know, it's been a
Speaker 6: minute since I've released any music. It's two years, yeah,
Speaker 6: and it's been I don't know how long it's been
Speaker 6: before that, before I've even released an album. It's been
Speaker 6: a while. And you know, I was doing the voice
Speaker 6: for twelve years and twenty three seasons of that show
Speaker 6: I did. And so when I finally walked away from
Speaker 6: really I wasn't just walking away from the voice. It
Speaker 6: was just television in general. I just needed a break
Speaker 6: from that machine.
Speaker 2: Uh one.
Speaker 6: It was just kind of numb. When I finally walked away,
Speaker 6: it was like, gosh, I I just need some some
Speaker 6: nothing for a while, you know. And it sounds like
Speaker 6: a spoiled brat thing to say, but I just kind
Speaker 6: of didn't. Really I feel like I knew what I
Speaker 6: wanted to do anymore, because I had just kind of
Speaker 6: been on the hamster wheel of of of of that
Speaker 6: beast that is you know, television and uh. And so
Speaker 6: for a year and a half, I really didn't do much.
Speaker 6: I mean I I did do a little tour in
Speaker 6: there and and some a handful of shows, but really
Speaker 6: not anything else. And and I wasn't making any records.
Speaker 6: I wasn't recording or writing or doing anything. And and
Speaker 6: and man, I'll be damned, uh if last spring I
Speaker 6: got a call to do this duet with Post Malone,
Speaker 6: and and I was shocked, honestly because it was just like, what, like,
Speaker 6: like me, he wants me to do this?
Speaker 11: Like uh?
Speaker 6: And and so I obviously I heard the song and
Speaker 6: it was like this sounds like something that I would
Speaker 6: have done anyway, you know, and hell, yeah, I'll do it.
Speaker 6: I had met post at the at the Super Bowl
Speaker 6: last year, uh, Gwen and I had done like a
Speaker 6: pregame performance and then posting h America the Beautiful before
Speaker 6: the game. And and so we saw each other and
Speaker 6: traded phone numbers and but that happens a million times
Speaker 6: in this business. And you never expect to hear from somebody,
Speaker 6: you know, it's like, oh, let's get together. Sure uh
Speaker 6: And but he followed up and and so we made
Speaker 6: that that recording, and and then of course it came
Speaker 6: out and was a hit, and the whole experience for me,
Speaker 6: and even being around Post, I'm sure he's probably uh,
Speaker 6: you guys have probably talked to him now. I'm sure
Speaker 6: I don't know, but you know what he's like. He's
Speaker 6: just so excited, so happy, and just so full of
Speaker 6: of excitement about music and and and country music especially,
Speaker 6: you know, and being around him shooting the video, we've done,
Speaker 6: you know, some performances, and it was just the honestly
Speaker 6: the kick and the ass that I needed to kind
Speaker 6: of go, well, what are you doing? You know, you
Speaker 6: used to be this this fired up, you know, and
Speaker 6: being around him really lit a fire under me again
Speaker 6: and and and reminded me that, you know, I nobody
Speaker 6: gets to do what I do. Very few people get
Speaker 6: to be recording artists and and and do what they
Speaker 6: dreamed of doing when they were a kid. And I
Speaker 6: get to do that. And I'm wasting this time, you know.
Speaker 6: And and so I really do credit Post for for
Speaker 6: getting me fired back up again and wanting to get
Speaker 6: back in the studio and really kind of start over again.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: I got a new record deal starting with a with
Speaker 6: a whole new team and just kind of really just
Speaker 6: turned the page. And So to answer your question though
Speaker 6: about Texas, Uh, it it was a song that I
Speaker 6: felt like it kind of it's got a connection to
Speaker 6: me and and who I've been as an artist all
Speaker 6: these years that you know, I had a record years
Speaker 6: ago called Sangria, and it's got a little bit of
Speaker 6: that kind of vibe to it. But it also feels
Speaker 6: like a step in a new direction, which I always
Speaker 6: try to do when I go in and make a record.
Speaker 6: That's what my heroes like Conway Twitty and Kenny Rogers,
Speaker 6: you know their catalog when you listen to them, you know,
Speaker 6: they're always kind of pushing the envelope. And I felt
Speaker 6: like this song does that musically for me. You know,
Speaker 6: of course it uh, you know, the tip of the
Speaker 6: Hat to George Straight in the course, if you don't
Speaker 6: like George Straight, you know, you probably don't have any friends.
Speaker 6: So I gotta have you know, you know, even everybody
Speaker 6: loves George Strait, I hope, uh. And so I love
Speaker 6: the tip of the Hat to George and.
Speaker 3: The chorus what's your favorite George Straight song?
Speaker 6: Man? I I perform all my exes in my shows
Speaker 6: a lot, you know, and but it's probably not my favorite.
Speaker 6: My favorite is probably Ocean Front Property. I don't know why.
Speaker 6: I just always go back to that one. But there's
Speaker 6: there's so many, and there's so many that were number
Speaker 6: one hits that are almost forgotten because he's had so
Speaker 6: many number one hits. It's like I've said before, I've
Speaker 6: done a lot of shows with George over the years.
Speaker 6: I go, man, it's impossible to go to a George
Speaker 6: straight song and and leave without going, man, he didn't
Speaker 6: play one of my favorite songs, because how can he
Speaker 6: possibly play eighty songs in his set? You know, There's
Speaker 6: just literally so many to choose from. There's some of
Speaker 6: those back in the eighties that are forgotten that are
Speaker 6: just incredible. I have the chair, Oh, the chair Chill
Speaker 6: Chill of an Early Fall. There's there's I mean, we
Speaker 6: could sit here and do this for another power. Let's
Speaker 6: not do it. But I love I love I love
Speaker 6: him so much. I don't want to take away from
Speaker 6: my time.
Speaker 3: Yes, ably not, But you're not to George in the
Speaker 3: song as Amarilla by Morning, that's what it is.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well Amarilla is in there, and also he says,
Speaker 6: that's where all my exes go. So I got them
Speaker 6: both in there.
Speaker 3: You squeeze that one in there. I saw a video
Speaker 3: of the writers of the song.
Speaker 2: I saw that too.
Speaker 6: I still haven't met them in person yet. I'm supposed
Speaker 6: to meet him today, either today or tomorrow. I think
Speaker 6: I'm finally going to get a chance to meet them
Speaker 6: because I think for three of them it's their first
Speaker 6: single that they've had, maybe all four of them, but
Speaker 6: I think three of them it's their first single, and
Speaker 6: one one of the writers has been here for like
Speaker 6: fifteen years or something, which I totally relate to. You know,
Speaker 6: I was here for seven years before I had any
Speaker 6: kind of a break, you know, so you know, it
Speaker 6: just shows you that, you know, just same thing we
Speaker 6: were talking about with Gwynn, you know, you just never
Speaker 6: know what's around the corner.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just thought it was really special, Like they
Speaker 3: had to probably be freaking out, Oh, Blake Shelton's gonna
Speaker 3: cut our song, and then they're hearing it on the
Speaker 3: radio for.
Speaker 6: The first time I got One of them was standing
Speaker 6: on the top of their car, crashing the hood or something.
Speaker 6: It's pretty funny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that gave me goosebumps. It's like, you know, it's
Speaker 3: probably cool for you too as an artist to be
Speaker 3: part of helping them, you know, around that corner make
Speaker 3: that dream come true.
Speaker 6: Well, you know, those guys help me. I always look
Speaker 6: at it that way when when songwriters there's so many
Speaker 6: great talented songwriters in this town, like it's it's literally unbelievable,
Speaker 6: and they've built this thing for me, the writers have
Speaker 6: you know, I'm just a lucky guy that's been able
Speaker 6: to get my hands on some of these songs, you know,
Speaker 6: and no different than Texas. I think it's a special song.
Speaker 6: And I feel like those guys took a chance on me.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm I'm not the new up and comer anymore,
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, So I really appreciate them
Speaker 6: giving me a chance with it.
Speaker 3: Well, Texas is catchy. It'll get stuck in your head,
Speaker 3: for sure. It's good. And you know we were talking
Speaker 3: about Austin earlier being your first number one song. You
Speaker 3: have you have twenty nine number one songs.
Speaker 6: That's that's all right. You know what I heard when
Speaker 6: when the when the post thing went because it uh uh.
Speaker 6: I think different charts have different criteria or whatever. But
Speaker 6: I heard that I was tied with Tim McGraw, uh
Speaker 6: for I think the second or third, third most of
Speaker 6: however they do the charts. Now we all know that
Speaker 6: George and nobody's ever catching him. But uh, I thought
Speaker 6: that was pretty cool because I look up to Tim.
Speaker 6: It's like, what me and Tim?
Speaker 3: I mean, do you think you could name them all
Speaker 3: of mine?
Speaker 6: A nine? I probably could.
Speaker 3: I mean, I know you could, but like, go ahead,
Speaker 3: Oh my god, we'd be here. You actually do have
Speaker 3: things coming up on your coulty.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of my songs that people think were
Speaker 6: number ones. Maybe not a lot, but there's some that
Speaker 6: people think were number ones that weren't even close, like
Speaker 6: Old Red, which is probably arguably one of my bigger
Speaker 6: reck hits, you know, as far as the impact goes,
Speaker 6: that was not even a top ten single when it
Speaker 6: came out. I think it went somewhere in the teens.
Speaker 6: But it went on to be the fan favorite, and
Speaker 6: now there's restaurants named after it around the country, you know,
Speaker 6: but it wasn't even a top ten song at the time.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Well, speaking of all you have coming, well,
Speaker 3: let's just go ahead and say thirty.
Speaker 6: When I say it that way, I mean, you know
Speaker 6: it really should have been.
Speaker 3: Yeah thirty one, then yeahs Texas. I mean I don't
Speaker 3: want to don't Do you believe in the jinks or
Speaker 3: any of that stuff? Like if I were to say
Speaker 3: right now, Texas is so good, it's probably gonna be
Speaker 3: your next number one, you might be like, well, if
Speaker 3: it doesn't go number one, then.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I do believe that stuff. Thinks a lot, you do.
Speaker 8: I didn't just say it.
Speaker 2: I was asking finally, football, I do.
Speaker 6: When it comes to my football teams, I do believe
Speaker 6: in jinxes.
Speaker 3: What do you do on game day? Do you have
Speaker 3: like a hat or a shirt or something you have
Speaker 3: to do?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 6: And when we're on defense, I turn my hat backwards.
Speaker 6: When we're on offense, it's forward. Unless that's not working,
Speaker 6: then I reverse those things.
Speaker 2: Interesting, Oh my gosh, No, you do it well.
Speaker 6: I feel like I'm contributing something to the team.
Speaker 3: If your team loses, does it completely derail your day?
Speaker 6: Yes? Days, No, not days, but it will derail the
Speaker 6: day and part of the next day. And then I
Speaker 6: start to get over it. Then I start to find
Speaker 6: ways to find a different path to the playoffs than
Speaker 6: the one that I had in mind. Y'all, you guys
Speaker 6: are Cowboys fans exactly what I'm talking.
Speaker 8: I'm hat around anymore.
Speaker 6: You may want to just take the hat off this year.
Speaker 3: They're used to losing. But it is it's a psychological thing.
Speaker 3: It's like you think you're a part of the team,
Speaker 3: so there or fans not you, blake you, just you.
Speaker 3: But most big hardcore fans, they are a part of
Speaker 3: the team and they feel like they're contributing in their
Speaker 3: own way, and then when they lose, it's like they've
Speaker 3: actually lost. When like, you are not on the team
Speaker 3: at all.
Speaker 6: I feel like you're This feels like therapy now. Usually
Speaker 6: it's just like I'm trying to take this away from you.
Speaker 3: But I just don't know that it should impact you
Speaker 3: for a day, you know. So do you have to
Speaker 3: go like plow some stuff or what do you do
Speaker 3: to let the anger out?
Speaker 6: Drink?
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, that's hell Okay, yeah cool?
Speaker 3: Cool?
Speaker 6: And when we're winning, that's what I do to celebrate.
Speaker 12: Drink.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's your favorite drink?
Speaker 6: Vodka and spritt zero.
Speaker 8: Oh, look at you watching the calary.
Speaker 6: It's the uh, the nectar of God.
Speaker 3: So you know, you're talking about a little little hiatus,
Speaker 3: but I'm looking at twenty twenty five and it's like
Speaker 3: you're back, Like you're like, okay, I'm already done. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know, you're doing a residency in Vegas basically all of.
Speaker 6: By the way, Gwynn gets so mad when she sees
Speaker 6: the word residence because it's two weekends. She's like, that
Speaker 6: is ridiculous. Do you call that a residency? I did
Speaker 6: like sixty three shows. You're doing like six shows.
Speaker 3: It's exactly what you're doing. Six shows. You're doing the fifth,
Speaker 3: the seventh, and age.
Speaker 6: She said, you're just like staying over an extra weekend.
Speaker 6: That's not a residency. But they're calling a residency and
Speaker 6: I'm going with them.
Speaker 1: They are.
Speaker 3: It's at the Coliseum in Caesar's Palace. Blake Shelton dot
Speaker 3: com for more details on that. And then you have
Speaker 3: your Friends and Heroes dates, which you are basically February
Speaker 3: to March.
Speaker 6: Yes, Friends and Heroes is, by the way, my favorite
Speaker 6: way to tour. It's gonna be hard to ever get
Speaker 6: me to go back to doing it another way because
Speaker 6: it's just so much fun. I mean, the shows are like.
Speaker 3: Well, describe friends and heroes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, what it is is it started I think
Speaker 6: five or six years ago, maybe even before that. I
Speaker 6: remember a specifically a conversation with Trace Atkins about seven
Speaker 6: years ago now and think about it. And I called him.
Speaker 6: I said, man, Trace, what are you doing like early
Speaker 6: next year, like February March And I don't know why.
Speaker 6: And I said, well, man, I want you to come
Speaker 6: out and tour with me. But I don't want you
Speaker 6: to like tour with me. I said, I want you
Speaker 6: to come out and sing with me during my show.
Speaker 6: Like I said, remember when when Uncle Cracker used to
Speaker 6: do that with Kenny Chesney. Like Kenny Chesney would go
Speaker 6: on stage and then you know, halfway through the show,
Speaker 6: Uncle Cracker would come out and they would sing. They
Speaker 6: had a when the Sun goes down, and then Uncle
Speaker 6: Cracker would sing another hit or two of his you know,
Speaker 6: it's a big moment during the show. I said, I
Speaker 6: want you to come do that on my show because
Speaker 6: we had at the time Hill Billy Baum and uh
Speaker 6: he said, well, okay, I'll be your Uncle Cracker and
Speaker 6: so and so from there, Uh, it was so much fun.
Speaker 6: The next year I had John Anderson the Bellamy Brothers. Uh,
Speaker 6: and then we did that for a couple of years,
Speaker 6: and then I ended up getting Tracy Bird and Martina McBride.
Speaker 6: I'm probably forgetting somebody. But we've done these tours now
Speaker 6: where we bring out uh different artists and they all
Speaker 6: come out during my show, you know. And so this
Speaker 6: this year we're having Craig Morgan, Trace Atkins, and uh
Speaker 6: Dina Carter, which I'm very excited about. Uh Dina Carter,
Speaker 6: not so much Craig or Trace.
Speaker 3: But like a legit hero I know.
Speaker 6: I know, but I know him.
Speaker 4: I can't.
Speaker 6: I can't brag on him too much. We know each
Speaker 6: other too well.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 6: But Dina Carter, I mean, I guess if you we
Speaker 6: should look this up while we're here. But she has
Speaker 6: to have had maybe top five biggest hits of the
Speaker 6: nineties Strawberry Wine. I mean, it's got to be top five.
Speaker 6: I don't know how you measure those things. One of
Speaker 6: the biggest hits.
Speaker 3: I feel like Strawberry Wine was the number one.
Speaker 6: No, I'm saying of the entire decade of the all timeade,
Speaker 6: I would say decade top five, would you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's figure out that fun huge rouge I can't.
