1
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: I have a very special podcast with a brand new name.

2
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: We did a podcast last year and we really have

3
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: kind of found our stride. And I have a new

4
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: executive producer for the podcast. That would be my sister Deanna.

5
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: And this year, not only are we going to feature

6
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: artists and authors and famous folks, we are going to

7
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: be talking to ordinary people who are doing extraordinary things

8
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: to change the world by their love. So my new

9
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: podcast has a new name. It's called Love Someone. Before

10
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: I get started, I wanted to acknowledge our longtime partner,

11
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: the Home Depot. They have generously agreed to sponsor this podcast,

12
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: not just this podcast, but for the whole year. This year,

13
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: we hope to feature stories of everyday folks doing extraordinary

14
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: things because I believe we will change this world one

15
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: heart at a time. And even though our first guest

16
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: is pretty famous between you and I, I met him

17
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: when he was nineteen. He's an ordinary guy who has

18
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: an extraordinary talent and an extraordinary heart. So as we

19
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: approach Valentine's Day, who better to visit with than Michael Bubla. Michael,

20
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: I have missed you. Welcome aboard my friend with me. Okay,

21
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: I'll try, I'll try so, since it's called love Someone,

22
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: since it's Valentine season and you have a new album

23
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: out all about love, and I just listened to the

24
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: song you wrote for Noah and sat here bawling, missing

25
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: my Zach attack. We're gonna We're just we're gonna dive deep.

26
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: We're going to start out with the big one and

27
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: talk about the new album and the inspiration for your

28
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: new song so Forever. Now. Did you write it before

29
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: or after you found out your baby boy was sick?

30
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: I wrote it during, during the whole thing. And the

31
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: truth is, I I know it sounds strange, but I mean,

32
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: you take a lot from the experiences you're going through,

33
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: but at the same time, it also is a way

34
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: to have therapy and to sort of separate yourself. And

35
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: so for me, that song really wasn't as much about

36
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: Noah or my other children as it was about the

37
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: sentimentality towards time and the sentimentality towards relationships in which

38
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: we we we give everything of ourselves. And I mean,

39
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: it's funny, you know, I've become more and more sentimental

40
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: the older I get about our life, the cycle of life,

41
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: about you know, how much we love our parents, and

42
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: how much we rely on them, and how time flies

43
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: by so quickly. My dad says to me, all the time,

44
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: you know that, you know, the days are long and

45
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: the years are short. And now with my own children,

46
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: I see that happening, and I feel that happening. And

47
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: so for me, it was really a study on the

48
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 2: passage of time and that it changes for no one,

49
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: that it moves that quickly for everyone, And you know,

50
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: it's just kind of about trying to really remember and

51
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: embrace the moments that we have. And so some of

52
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: those images I mean of you know, holding your kids'

53
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: hands and knowing that that will pass too, that at

54
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: some point they won't walk to anymay why there's just

55
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: this great amount of sentimentality that comes with it. And

56
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: it really made me realize why I loved the music

57
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: so much. The power of a good song.

58
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: The power.

59
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: Where you know you can hear it and interpret it

60
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: in your own way and it becomes that thing for you.

61
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: And I think that's the most magic thing about music,

62
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: is that we can hear it and it becomes this

63
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: really special, distinct thing that only we can really understand

64
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: and feel as powerfully as we did.

65
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: Well, I read the lyrics. First before I listened to

66
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: the song, and I was weeping.

67
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 3: And then I listened to the.

68
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: Song and I was bawling, and so I had to go,

69
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, get some tissue and pull myself together.

70
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: And that's you know what I wanted to when I

71
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: when I listen, I wasn't even sure that I was

72
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: going to release it. To be honest with you, it

73
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: became a kind of a you know, an inside kind

74
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: of I just wasn't I was. I wasn't. I didn't

75
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 2: know if I was ready for it, didn't know if

76
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: it was too personal to me. And so when I

77
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: finally decided, okay, you know this is I'll let it out.

78
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I still haven't listened to it.

79
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 2: The truth is, hell, I sang it only one time.

80
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: I did the demo, and I sang out once and

81
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: it was me and a piano, and then I never

82
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: sang it again. So that'll tell you how I feel

83
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: about it. But I love that it can be open

84
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: to the interpretation of other people. And I love that

85
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 2: when you hear it, it can be about you and

86
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: your kids, or you know, when someone else here's it

87
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 2: can be about the relationship they've had with their parents

88
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: or grandparents.

89
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: Well, for me, it's about the two boys that I've

90
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: lost and all the other ones that are here still

91
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: and how important it is to let them know every

92
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: single minute of every single day. Then I'm never going

93
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: to let them down.

94
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: No, that's all we got. Listen, Delilah, I don't care

95
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: where you're from. If your gears straight to Richard poor

96
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: Black of life. At the end of the day, that

97
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: is everything, and love is all the matters. And so

98
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: you know, when you go through difficult but things that

99
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: that you and I have always been gone through, I

100
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: think this becomes even clearer. But I think in a

101
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: good way that you know you wish that clarity on

102
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: your best friends because you live in a different way,

103
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 2: and I think that it's important to live in a

104
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: different way and live and be in the moment and

105
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: not taking for granted.

106
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: I remember when my first son was born, thinking, how

107
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: did I ever even live without your soul in my world?

108
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 3: How did I what did I do? What was what

109
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 3: was what was my purpose? Before I had this soul.

110
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: Connected to me and my daughter Sheila, who adores you.

111
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: She just had a baby in June, little Rosebud and

112
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: she said the same thing to me. She's like, Mom,

113
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: I did not know I was capable of this deep

114
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: of love. And oh, yeah, that's what your song, that's

115
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: what that's what it touches on. Is that depth of

116
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: intimacy that you never even knew you could feel.

117
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: No, it's lovely, it's a beautiful thing. But you know,

118
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: it's funny. A friend of mine said to me that

119
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 2: she had gone through something really tough and she had

120
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: lost a friend and she had gone to see her

121
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: therapist and she was just not getting over it. And

122
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: then she said to the therapist, she said, oh, I

123
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: just I just loved her so much. I loved her

124
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: so much. And the therapist said to her, what she said,

125
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: you thought that love was free, She said, you thought

126
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: that love, that kind of love, that depth of love,

127
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: was free. She said, no, I'm sorry, honey. That kind

128
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: of love has a great cost. And it's really it's

129
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 2: very heavy, and it's it's serious, but it's it's true.

130
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: I mean, it's scary. You know, you really put yourself

131
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: out on a limit the greatest way. You truly risk everything.

132
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: But I don't think there's a greater risk worth taking,

133
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,119
Speaker 2: you know, And so I don't want to skip ahead

134
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: with your questions. But when you you know, when you

135
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: want talk and you say, well, well, your record is

136
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: called love and it's about love, Well, I think that

137
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: you know, honestly, I came to a realization that it's

138
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: all about love, and I couldn't really think about another

139
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: subject or another you know, and something that I really

140
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: want to expound upon, and it's sort of at this

141
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: time of my life, it is front and center, and

142
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: so I find it fascinating, you know, the light and

143
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: the dark, and the good and the bad, that everything

144
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: that comes along with the most complicated and wonderful feeling

145
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: that human beings have.

146
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 3: Look at you, listen to you.

147
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 2: You know that feeling you were talking about when you

148
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: were saying talking about your daughter, and you're having that

149
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: feeling of not knowing that there was a depth of

150
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: love that deep.

151
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: I never knew until I.

152
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: I just had that epiffany when Adam Levine took off

153
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: his shirt.

154
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: And showed us the Chipolte bag.

155
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I meant, honestly, I'm just a human beings beautiful.

156
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: Oh thank you for lightning it up for me. I've

157
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: had to Michael Boubla hold that thought. As we share

158
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: this podcast, I want to give a shout out to

159
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: our sponsor, the Home Depot. I do so much to

160
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: make my home cozy and comfortable for my family. I

161
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: want my family to use every inch of our old farmhouse,

162
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: and we do. The house itself is over one hundred

163
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: years old, but we've done a lot to modernize the

164
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: parts that need it so that we're all very comfortable.

165
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: The cabinets, the doors, the floors. They're all from antique

166
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: wood that I pulled out of my old barn. But

167
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: I like things like stoves that work. The selection of

168
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: appliances alone at the Home Depot gives me everything I need.

169
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: The fixtures for our bathroom and our kitchen. The Home

170
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: Depot has aisles of choices for us to select from

171
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: the Home Depot.

172
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: More saving, more doing.

173
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: Now, let's return to our conversation with the amazing, tenderhearted, talented,

174
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: but more than anything, wonderful man that loves his family

175
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: and his friends, Michael Bublea. So, how is your family?

176
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: How are they all doing? I know Noah is much better.

177
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: Praise God, Praise God.

178
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: Everything's good. We have a new, little, beautiful little girl

179
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: in the house, and I'm in love and my wife's

180
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: doing really good. She's just you know, I don't know.

181
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: I just don't know what happened that you need three babies.

182
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: And I was gonna say, we need to talk about

183
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: this because I don't know how that happens. How does

184
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: she look like that?

185
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: Michael, Oh, God just loves her more. Maybe he does?

186
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 3: She be like his all time favorite because.

187
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm still working on off the baby weight.

188
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 3: You are? You are? Yeah? But she clearly, like did

189
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 3: she like eat ice cream every day like I did

190
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: when I was pregnant or what?

191
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: One of those weird people that likes going to the

192
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: gym that like doesn't you know you know how some

193
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: people pretend that they like it may but she really

194
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: likes it, like she just she has an addiction to

195
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: cross it and all this stuff, and she's really healthy,

196
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 2: the same way that I have an addiction to ch

197
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: paule and McDonald's.

198
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Ah, you're so darned cute and you're so darned blessed,

199
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: and I'm so glad that that you are are our

200
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: first big because we're changing the podcast this year.

201
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: What do you say? Who's next? What do you who

202
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 2: do you have on the radar.

203
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing.

204
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: Last year, you know we did we talked of music

205
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: artists and authors and stuff like this that. But this

206
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: year I really want to talk to everyday people who

207
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: have done, have gone through experiences and done extraordinary things.

208
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: And here's the thing that most people don't know about you, Michael.

209
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: When I met you, the first thing you shared with

210
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: me was how much you loved your grandpa. Yeah, because

211
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: you were just a kid. I realized you had no

212
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: clue number one, how talented you were and the trajectory

213
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: your life was going to take because those of us

214
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: in the industry saw it in you. You just have

215
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: this magic, but you are so damn real and so

216
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: human and that's never changed, never changed. The last time

217
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: I went to see you, to show you and said,

218
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: come backstage. You got to see my wife.

219
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 3: She's so beautiful. We went backstage and she was sleeping

220
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: because she just nursed the baby, and You're like, don't

221
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 3: wake her, let her sleep, let her sleep, And I'm like,

222
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: I love you. You're so real.

223
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: I feel the same way about you, kid, And I

224
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 2: told you. I texted you the other day and I

225
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: said that, you know, it's important to be this and

226
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: to be real. By the way, I love that you

227
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: said you want to speak to people that have gone

228
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: through incredible things. I mean, I think that gives other

229
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: people strength, you know what I mean, if they can

230
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 2: do it, I can do it. And I think that's

231
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: a huge thing. Listen. You know, like the world is

232
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: the world. Listen, the world is crazy, and everybody that's

233
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: listening right now has got a sense and a sense

234
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 2: probably a fear of feeling how out of control it

235
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: seems to be going. I mean, listen, I think that

236
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: social media, I think has a massive social impact on

237
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: what's happening and how people feel about themselves. I think

238
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 2: we're starting to understand, you know, mental health issues. We're

239
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 2: starting to see a divide. I mean, there's been the

240
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: last few years crazy, a divide between races, between God,

241
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: between women, you know, between correctness and political and correctness.

242
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,359
Speaker 2: And you're just seeing this great divide between people their philosophies,

243
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: how they live, what they believe. And I think more

244
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 2: than ever, you know, we do need to spread love

245
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: and joy and hope and and even if people are

246
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: cynical and they fit that's strange, you know, we have

247
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 2: I actually, this is what I wrote you the other day.

248
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: We have there's so much power each of us, each

249
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: of us, and even though some days we feel like

250
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: we don't and what could we do with just one person?

251
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: The individual can change nothing. It's just not true. Every

252
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: single moment you have an opportunity to be kind, to

253
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: be gracious, to bring hope and love. And that can

254
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: be as simple as just walking, you know, walking down

255
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: the street and smiling at someone and tell them they

256
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: look nice, or you know, standing in line and letting

257
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: somebody in front of you, or you know, there's a

258
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: bunch there's just ways to be gracious and kind and

259
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: and help out the world. And I think we just

260
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: need it. And that's why it's songs like this, and

261
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: when you talk about talking to people, it's just it's

262
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: it's just too important. It really is. It really really

263
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 2: is because people I think they can feel it. I

264
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 2: think you can feel it, and I think they need

265
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: it more than ever.

266
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: We started something on the air called the One Heart

267
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: Challenge because of the name of my book, One Heart

268
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: at a Time, and the challenge just simple. It's don't

269
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: say anything, don't post anything, don't respond to anything, don't

270
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: talk about anybody to their face or behind their back,

271
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: unless it is motivated by kindness.

272
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a beautiful thing.

273
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: And it's really it boils down to my mom saying, Sis,

274
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

275
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: I just keep coming to people. Love not like, love

276
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: not like.

277
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I tell people love not shove, Love not shove.

278
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: When you're trying to shove your beliefs or your politics,

279
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: or your religion, or your philosophy, or you're on people,

280
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't They're not going to receive it. And all

281
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: you're doing is causing divisions.

282
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 3: Stop people, Stop.

283
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: When you're laying in the hospital bed and you need

284
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: a blood transfusion, you don't care if the person donating

285
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: the blood it has the same political beliefs, or is

286
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: the same race, or is the same sexual orientation.

287
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 3: It's all we all need one another. Yes, Oh Michael,

288

Speaker 2: big to say it, because I'll say it whenever I can. Listen, Man,

Speaker 2: Okay, I'll tell the people this. Listen, don't buy anything,

301
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: buy the tickets if you like, buy the records, or

302
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: don't or don't know this. You have changed my life,

303
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: in my family's life, and with what we went through

304
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: because of you. You gave me an opportunity that I

305
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 2: know a million of parents don't have, which was to

306
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: stop to just do what I had to do as

307
00:16:53,800 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: a dad. And I can never tell you, I I

308
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: can only show you in my actions how much that

309
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: you mean to me. It overwhelms me. The fact that

310
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: you work hard and you take your harder money to
