WEBVTT - MICHAEL BUBLE': "Forever Now"

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>I have a very special podcast with a brand new name.

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:26.800
<v Speaker 1>We did a podcast last year and we really have

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of found our stride. And I have a new

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>executive producer for the podcast. That would be my sister Deanna.

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>And this year, not only are we going to feature

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>artists and authors and famous folks, we are going to

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>be talking to ordinary people who are doing extraordinary things

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>to change the world by their love. So my new

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>podcast has a new name. It's called Love Someone. Before

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I get started, I wanted to acknowledge our longtime partner,

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the Home Depot. They have generously agreed to sponsor this podcast,

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>not just this podcast, but for the whole year. This year,

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:16.839
<v Speaker 1>we hope to feature stories of everyday folks doing extraordinary

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>things because I believe we will change this world one

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>heart at a time. And even though our first guest

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>is pretty famous between you and I, I met him

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 1>when he was nineteen. He's an ordinary guy who has

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:38.040
<v Speaker 1>an extraordinary talent and an extraordinary heart. So as we

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>approach Valentine's Day, who better to visit with than Michael Bubla. Michael,

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 1>I have missed you. Welcome aboard my friend with me. Okay,

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll try, I'll try so, since it's called love Someone,

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>since it's Valentine season and you have a new album

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>out all about love, and I just listened to the

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>song you wrote for Noah and sat here bawling, missing

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>my Zach attack. We're gonna We're just we're gonna dive deep.

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>We're going to start out with the big one and

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:19.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about the new album and the inspiration for your

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>new song so Forever. Now. Did you write it before

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>or after you found out your baby boy was sick?

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 2>I wrote it during, during the whole thing. And the

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.639
<v Speaker 2>truth is, I I know it sounds strange, but I mean,

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 2>you take a lot from the experiences you're going through,

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>but at the same time, it also is a way

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 2>to have therapy and to sort of separate yourself. And

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 2>so for me, that song really wasn't as much about

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Noah or my other children as it was about the

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 2>sentimentality towards time and the sentimentality towards relationships in which

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 2>we we we give everything of ourselves. And I mean,

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 2>it's funny, you know, I've become more and more sentimental

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.919
<v Speaker 2>the older I get about our life, the cycle of life,

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 2>about you know, how much we love our parents, and

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 2>how much we rely on them, and how time flies

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>by so quickly. My dad says to me, all the time,

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>you know that, you know, the days are long and

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the years are short. And now with my own children,

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>I see that happening, and I feel that happening. And

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 2>so for me, it was really a study on the

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.839
<v Speaker 2>passage of time and that it changes for no one,

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 2>that it moves that quickly for everyone, And you know,

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 2>it's just kind of about trying to really remember and

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 2>embrace the moments that we have. And so some of

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 2>those images I mean of you know, holding your kids'

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 2>hands and knowing that that will pass too, that at

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 2>some point they won't walk to anymay why there's just

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 2>this great amount of sentimentality that comes with it. And

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>it really made me realize why I loved the music

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 2>so much. The power of a good song.

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>The power.

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Where you know you can hear it and interpret it

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 2>in your own way and it becomes that thing for you.

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's the most magic thing about music,

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 2>is that we can hear it and it becomes this

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 2>really special, distinct thing that only we can really understand

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 2>and feel as powerfully as we did.

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:39.039
<v Speaker 1>Well, I read the lyrics. First before I listened to

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>the song, and I was weeping.

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 3>And then I listened to the.

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Song and I was bawling, and so I had to go,

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, get some tissue and pull myself together.

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 2>And that's you know what I wanted to when I

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>when I listen, I wasn't even sure that I was

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 2>going to release it. To be honest with you, it

0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 2>became a kind of a you know, an inside kind

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>of I just wasn't I was. I wasn't. I didn't

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:04.840
<v Speaker 2>know if I was ready for it, didn't know if

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 2>it was too personal to me. And so when I

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 2>finally decided, okay, you know this is I'll let it out.

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.280
<v Speaker 2>To be honest with you, I still haven't listened to it.

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 2>The truth is, hell, I sang it only one time.

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 2>I did the demo, and I sang out once and

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 2>it was me and a piano, and then I never

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 2>sang it again. So that'll tell you how I feel

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 2>about it. But I love that it can be open

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 2>to the interpretation of other people. And I love that

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 2>when you hear it, it can be about you and

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 2>your kids, or you know, when someone else here's it

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.799
<v Speaker 2>can be about the relationship they've had with their parents

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 2>or grandparents.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, for me, it's about the two boys that I've

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 1>lost and all the other ones that are here still

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and how important it is to let them know every

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>single minute of every single day. Then I'm never going

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to let them down.

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 2>No, that's all we got. Listen, Delilah, I don't care

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 2>where you're from. If your gears straight to Richard poor

0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Black of life. At the end of the day, that

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 2>is everything, and love is all the matters. And so

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, when you go through difficult but things that

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 2>that you and I have always been gone through, I

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 2>think this becomes even clearer. But I think in a

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 2>good way that you know you wish that clarity on

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 2>your best friends because you live in a different way,

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 2>and I think that it's important to live in a

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.039
<v Speaker 2>different way and live and be in the moment and

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 2>not taking for granted.

0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I remember when my first son was born, thinking, how

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 1>did I ever even live without your soul in my world?

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 3>How did I what did I do? What was what

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 3>was what was my purpose? Before I had this soul.

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Connected to me and my daughter Sheila, who adores you.

0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>She just had a baby in June, little Rosebud and

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>she said the same thing to me. She's like, Mom,

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I did not know I was capable of this deep

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>of love. And oh, yeah, that's what your song, that's

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 1>what that's what it touches on. Is that depth of

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>intimacy that you never even knew you could feel.

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>No, it's lovely, it's a beautiful thing. But you know,

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 2>it's funny. A friend of mine said to me that

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 2>she had gone through something really tough and she had

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 2>lost a friend and she had gone to see her

0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 2>therapist and she was just not getting over it. And

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 2>then she said to the therapist, she said, oh, I

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 2>just I just loved her so much. I loved her

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.440
<v Speaker 2>so much. And the therapist said to her, what she said,

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 2>you thought that love was free, She said, you thought

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 2>that love, that kind of love, that depth of love,

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 2>was free. She said, no, I'm sorry, honey. That kind

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 2>of love has a great cost. And it's really it's

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.559
<v Speaker 2>very heavy, and it's it's serious, but it's it's true.

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's scary. You know, you really put yourself

0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 2>out on a limit the greatest way. You truly risk everything.

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think there's a greater risk worth taking,

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, And so I don't want to skip ahead

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 2>with your questions. But when you you know, when you

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 2>want talk and you say, well, well, your record is

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 2>called love and it's about love, Well, I think that

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, honestly, I came to a realization that it's

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 2>all about love, and I couldn't really think about another

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 2>subject or another you know, and something that I really

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 2>want to expound upon, and it's sort of at this

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 2>time of my life, it is front and center, and

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 2>so I find it fascinating, you know, the light and

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:42.840
<v Speaker 2>the dark, and the good and the bad, that everything

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 2>that comes along with the most complicated and wonderful feeling

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 2>that human beings have.

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 3>Look at you, listen to you.

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:53.559
<v Speaker 2>You know that feeling you were talking about when you

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 2>were saying talking about your daughter, and you're having that

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 2>feeling of not knowing that there was a depth of

0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 2>love that deep.

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I never knew until I.

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.079
<v Speaker 2>I just had that epiffany when Adam Levine took off

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 2>his shirt.

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.079
<v Speaker 1>And showed us the Chipolte bag.

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I meant, honestly, I'm just a human beings beautiful.

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh thank you for lightning it up for me. I've

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>had to Michael Boubla hold that thought. As we share

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, I want to give a shout out to

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>our sponsor, the Home Depot. I do so much to

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:36.440
<v Speaker 1>make my home cozy and comfortable for my family. I

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 1>want my family to use every inch of our old farmhouse,

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.199
<v Speaker 1>and we do. The house itself is over one hundred

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 1>years old, but we've done a lot to modernize the

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 1>parts that need it so that we're all very comfortable.

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 1>The cabinets, the doors, the floors. They're all from antique

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.200
<v Speaker 1>wood that I pulled out of my old barn. But

0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:00.080
<v Speaker 1>I like things like stoves that work. The selection of

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 1>appliances alone at the Home Depot gives me everything I need.

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 1>The fixtures for our bathroom and our kitchen. The Home

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Depot has aisles of choices for us to select from

0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the Home Depot.

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 3>More saving, more doing.

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:21.199
<v Speaker 1>Now, let's return to our conversation with the amazing, tenderhearted, talented,

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>but more than anything, wonderful man that loves his family

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 1>and his friends, Michael Bublea. So, how is your family?

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.480

<v Speaker 2>I just don't know what happened that you need three babies.

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 3>And I was gonna say, we need to talk about

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 3>this because I don't know how that happens. How does

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:55.040
<v Speaker 3>she look like that?

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Michael, Oh, God just loves her more. Maybe he does?

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.439
<v Speaker 3>She be like his all time favorite because.

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm just I'm still working on off the baby weight.

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 3>You are? You are? Yeah? But she clearly, like did

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 3>she like eat ice cream every day like I did

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:14.440
<v Speaker 3>when I was pregnant or what?

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 2>One of those weird people that likes going to the

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 2>gym that like doesn't you know you know how some

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 2>people pretend that they like it may but she really

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 2>likes it, like she just she has an addiction to

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.560
<v Speaker 2>cross it and all this stuff, and she's really healthy,

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.679
<v Speaker 2>the same way that I have an addiction to ch

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 2>paule and McDonald's.

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Ah, you're so darned cute and you're so darned blessed,

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm so glad that that you are are our

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>first big because we're changing the podcast this year.

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 2>What do you say? Who's next? What do you who

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:50.559
<v Speaker 2>do you have on the radar.

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, here's the thing.

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Last year, you know we did we talked of music

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 1>artists and authors and stuff like this that. But this

0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 1>year I really want to talk to everyday people who

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>have done, have gone through experiences and done extraordinary things.

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 1>And here's the thing that most people don't know about you, Michael.

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>When I met you, the first thing you shared with

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 1>me was how much you loved your grandpa. Yeah, because

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you were just a kid. I realized you had no

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 1>clue number one, how talented you were and the trajectory

0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>your life was going to take because those of us

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>in the industry saw it in you. You just have

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:33.320
<v Speaker 1>this magic, but you are so damn real and so

0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 1>human and that's never changed, never changed. The last time

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I went to see you, to show you and said,

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>come backstage. You got to see my wife.

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 3>She's so beautiful. We went backstage and she was sleeping

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 3>because she just nursed the baby, and You're like, don't

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:48.200
<v Speaker 3>wake her, let her sleep, let her sleep, And I'm like,

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 3>I love you. You're so real.

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:52.679
<v Speaker 2>I feel the same way about you, kid, And I

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:54.679
<v Speaker 2>told you. I texted you the other day and I

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 2>said that, you know, it's important to be this and

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.160
<v Speaker 2>to be real. By the way, I love that you

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 2>said you want to speak to people that have gone

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.720
<v Speaker 2>through incredible things. I mean, I think that gives other

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 2>people strength, you know what I mean, if they can

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:09.679
<v Speaker 2>do it, I can do it. And I think that's

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.760
<v Speaker 2>a huge thing. Listen. You know, like the world is

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.560
<v Speaker 2>the world. Listen, the world is crazy, and everybody that's

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 2>listening right now has got a sense and a sense

0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:22.960
<v Speaker 2>probably a fear of feeling how out of control it

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 2>seems to be going. I mean, listen, I think that

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 2>social media, I think has a massive social impact on

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.800
<v Speaker 2>what's happening and how people feel about themselves. I think

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.959
<v Speaker 2>we're starting to understand, you know, mental health issues. We're

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.439
<v Speaker 2>starting to see a divide. I mean, there's been the

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 2>last few years crazy, a divide between races, between God,

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 2>between women, you know, between correctness and political and correctness.

0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:52.359
<v Speaker 2>And you're just seeing this great divide between people their philosophies,

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 2>how they live, what they believe. And I think more

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:59.079
<v Speaker 2>than ever, you know, we do need to spread love

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and joy and hope and and even if people are

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 2>cynical and they fit that's strange, you know, we have

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:07.719
<v Speaker 2>I actually, this is what I wrote you the other day.

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 2>We have there's so much power each of us, each

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.000
<v Speaker 2>of us, and even though some days we feel like

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 2>we don't and what could we do with just one person?

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 2>The individual can change nothing. It's just not true. Every

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 2>single moment you have an opportunity to be kind, to

0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 2>be gracious, to bring hope and love. And that can

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 2>be as simple as just walking, you know, walking down

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the street and smiling at someone and tell them they

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 2>look nice, or you know, standing in line and letting

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 2>somebody in front of you, or you know, there's a

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 2>bunch there's just ways to be gracious and kind and

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 2>and help out the world. And I think we just

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 2>need it. And that's why it's songs like this, and

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 2>when you talk about talking to people, it's just it's

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 2>it's just too important. It really is. It really really

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 2>is because people I think they can feel it. I

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 2>think you can feel it, and I think they need

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 2>it more than ever.

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 1>We started something on the air called the One Heart

0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Challenge because of the name of my book, One Heart

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 1>at a Time, and the challenge just simple. It's don't

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 1>say anything, don't post anything, don't respond to anything, don't

0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 1>talk about anybody to their face or behind their back,

0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 1>unless it is motivated by kindness.

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a beautiful thing.

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 1>And it's really it boils down to my mom saying, Sis,

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 1>if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I just keep coming to people. Love not like, love

0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 2>not like.

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I tell people love not shove, Love not shove.

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>When you're trying to shove your beliefs or your politics,

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 1>or your religion, or your philosophy, or you're on people,

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't They're not going to receive it. And all

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.920
<v Speaker 1>you're doing is causing divisions.

0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 3>Stop people, Stop.

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 1>When you're laying in the hospital bed and you need

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>a blood transfusion, you don't care if the person donating

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 1>the blood it has the same political beliefs, or is

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the same race, or is the same sexual orientation.

0:15:55.840 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 3>It's all we all need one another. Yes, Oh Michael,

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.600

<v Speaker 3>Know, Michael booblay dot com. There we go, there you go.

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 2>It's nice for me, especially to have a platform this

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 2>big to say it, because I'll say it whenever I can. Listen, Man,

0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 2>can I can I sort of talk to the people.

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 3>you want.

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'll tell the people this. Listen, don't buy anything,

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.160
<v Speaker 2>buy the tickets if you like, buy the records, or

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 2>don't or don't know this. You have changed my life,

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 2>in my family's life, and with what we went through

0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 2>because of you. You gave me an opportunity that I

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 2>know a million of parents don't have, which was to

0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 2>stop to just do what I had to do as

0:16:53.800 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 2>a dad. And I can never tell you, I I

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 2>can only show you in my actions how much that

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 2>you mean to me. It overwhelms me. The fact that

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>you work hard and you take your harder money to

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 2>go and invest in me, and like that you owe

0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 2>me nothing. So God bless I love that you. You

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.480
<v Speaker 2>know that whatever the Liley you're telling them to go

0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.400
<v Speaker 2>to this place and tickets and stuff, but they've done

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 2>enough for me, more than enough for me. So if

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 2>you just happen to be one of those people that

0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:31.919
<v Speaker 2>are coming to the shows, then it's going to be

0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 2>my absolute honor. A step on stage and get to

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 2>show you with my actions how much you mean to

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:38.639
<v Speaker 2>me and what it means to me to get to

0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.159
<v Speaker 2>do this for you, because it really does. I'm a

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 2>lucky boy.

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:46.119
<v Speaker 1>You're a blessed man. Michael. You know what's funny is

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.880
<v Speaker 1>if if all the success of my show went away

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.000
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow and I moved back to read Sport where I

0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 1>grew up and I got to.

0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.159
<v Speaker 3>Be on the air there, I wouldn't care. I just

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:55.119
<v Speaker 3>love talking to people.

0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.359
<v Speaker 2>Listen, when you go through tough stuff, trust me, you

0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.720
<v Speaker 2>know people out there know it too. You don't think

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 2>about the stuff. You do not think about any of it.

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:04.720
<v Speaker 2>And you know it's funny. I read a beautiful Thing

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.280
<v Speaker 2>by Steve Jobs. He wrote it from his deathbed, and

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.639
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of he had written off on his deathbed,

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:13.119
<v Speaker 2>and what he had said was, look at once you

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:17.160
<v Speaker 2>have enough, you know, then do what you love because

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:21.160
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the day, it's it's it's it's

0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:25.600
<v Speaker 2>family and relationships and love and that journey and that's it.

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.440
<v Speaker 2>That's all you want more off, So people go out

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.880
<v Speaker 2>there and live and love and go and just take

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 2>it only and jewy, be kind.

0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:35.520
<v Speaker 3>I love you, Michael, love you too.
