Speaker 2: not gonna include a whole lot of cruise content. And
Speaker 2: it's not because it's not amazing and should be on
Speaker 2: this list, but because a lot of it was in
Speaker 2: Part two from this week. So if you want to
Speaker 2: get caught up on all things cruise, then listen to
Speaker 2: a bunch of the part twos from this week and
Speaker 2: the tell Me Something Good segment, and of course Part

Speaker 2: it is from the Cruise Shift. So Part one we
Speaker 2: get into it all things cruise, everything that's happened up
Speaker 2: until that moment we recorded, and then part three we
Speaker 2: answer a whole bunch of cruise questions, so all the
Speaker 2: cruising content your heart could desire. But for this Part two,
Speaker 2: here this weekend, I'm going to include all the things
Speaker 2: that happened in the studio while we were at sea.
Speaker 3: So let's get into it.
Speaker 2: A listener asked Bobby to name his top four list
Speaker 2: of the funniest people, and I don't know if you're
Speaker 2: going to expect some of the names on this list.
Speaker 4: Number seven by.
Speaker 5: Anonymous, there's a question to be.
Speaker 6: Man, Hello, Bobby Bones, who's your mount Rushmore funny people
Speaker 6: signed laughing in Gainesville on my list is as you
Speaker 6: give me?
Speaker 7: Say you? Is that why you're Oh? I thought you
Speaker 7: were really just clearing your things.
Speaker 4: For a second too, like why is Zame's you have
Speaker 4: a cold? And then she was just.
Speaker 3: Saying I just found myself to the list.
Speaker 4: I didn't think you're funny.
Speaker 7: Yeah, this should be easy for you.
Speaker 4: You think I'm gonna pick you?
Speaker 7: Guess run in front of you.
Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, you've worked with us every day.
Speaker 4: I do think there's an elementary humor you guys all bring.
Speaker 3: Okay, don't pick if you're not picking one of us,
Speaker 3: don't pick anybody in this risk.
Speaker 4: It has to don't worry. It has to be don't worry.
Speaker 4: I wasn't.
Speaker 3: It has to be like, hmm, I know who you're
Speaker 3: gonna pick.
Speaker 8: I didn't pick my wife, even though that had been
Speaker 8: the easiest, because she makes me laugh harder than anybody
Speaker 8: else I've ever met.
Speaker 4: You guys would be like, oh you was, no, I
Speaker 4: think we even understand me. But do you think my
Speaker 4: wife's funny?
Speaker 3: She is funny, It's hilarious. So but I mean, I
Speaker 3: guess I can tell you're going to go the professional
Speaker 3: comedian route.
Speaker 8: Yes, okay, so I'm gonna go. Ricky Gervass I think
Speaker 8: is so cutting, funny and so brilliant. He's the original
Speaker 8: office guy. He's the creator of the office. Think Ricky Gervass.
Speaker 8: A plus, I'm gonna go from when I was a
Speaker 8: child even to now. And I don't know that I
Speaker 8: lool as much now, but he has such an influence
Speaker 8: on everything that I've done, especially like musically, as Adam Sandler.
Speaker 8: When his records came out and I was eleven, it
Speaker 8: changed my world.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's the.
Speaker 8: Whole reason that I probably have a guitar and Eddie
Speaker 8: and I do stupid songs that aren't near as good.
Speaker 8: But Adam Sandler to me, one of the funniest people ever.
Speaker 8: Chris Rock probably my favorite stand up comic ever. Like
Speaker 8: his early specials on like HBO so funny.
Speaker 6: They were so funny, and as a black guy like
Speaker 6: myself really related.
Speaker 3: You know what that just reminds me of And this
Speaker 3: was years ago. I don't know, maybe fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3: You made me do like Chris Rock stand up like
Speaker 3: I had to read it.
Speaker 4: Were for work. Baby wouldn't curse at all. She lost
Speaker 4: a bet. I made her do the whole day I did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was back when I did it. Gus and
Speaker 3: I it was. That was so awkward and hilarious.
Speaker 8: I think Chris. I still think Chris Rock is very funny.
Speaker 8: But Chris Rock, to me is there. So I got
Speaker 8: Jerve Sandler, Chris Rock and there, and I wanted to
Speaker 8: pick somebody new.
Speaker 6: This comedian Mark Norman is so funny. I watched stuff
Speaker 6: on TikTok. I never met him, but I just grabbed
Speaker 6: a clip from him his stand up here hit it.
Speaker 9: Everything kind of changes when you get older. You know,
Speaker 9: my brother had a kid. That's crazy. Everyone wants to
Speaker 9: play with the baby, touch the baby, hug the baby.
Speaker 9: I find babies fascinating because babies are the only thing
Speaker 9: that comes out of another person that strangers want to hold.
Speaker 4: That's true, and that's everything about that.
Speaker 9: Anything else comes out of a human being. You're like, wow,
Speaker 9: this dinner party is over.
Speaker 4: That's like the clean. He's not dirty, he's just normal.
Speaker 4: He's so funny. Uh, Mike, you like Mic Norman.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's good, like I've got to know him on TikTok.
Speaker 8: But he's a real comedian, sells big shows, so funny.
Speaker 8: I'm not putting him in my in my list. Uh,
Speaker 8: do one because you guys weren't ready for this question.
Speaker 8: Do professional because I'm not gonna lie you guys to
Speaker 8: pick me just one comedian.
Speaker 4: It got to be a comedian because because Sandler, I mean,
Speaker 4: I guess he's a comedian, but he's more of a performer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tina Fey or Ammy.
Speaker 4: Poehler, he did too?
Speaker 5: You cheated?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like they're they they're besties, so.
Speaker 10: They're the same. Yeah, Eddie Man. I love Jim Gaffigan.
Speaker 10: Jim Gaffigan's my dude. I think he's so funny, and
Speaker 10: he spits out comedy specials like I would say, every year,
Speaker 10: so there's always new stuff.
Speaker 5: I like.
Speaker 4: I love John mulaney just the way he talks. I
Speaker 4: think he just has a funny voice.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: John Mulaney's really funny too. I mean Norm McDonald when
Speaker 4: he was alive. I didn't pick up. Nor McDonald's a funny.
Speaker 7: He was so funny.
Speaker 4: Uh, kick off Kevin running the board in there? Do
Speaker 4: you have anybody?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a big fan of Shane Gillis. I know
Speaker 3: he's still like irrelevant right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's awesome and gil is super funny. All right,
Speaker 6: good one. Hey, glad you sent that email.
Speaker 8: You can email us, although Mortgan's not here right now,
Speaker 8: so I don't remember the address.
Speaker 4: Mail bag and Bobby bones that come. All right, there
Speaker 4: you go.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 2: Recently, in therapy, Bobby's therapist asked him a very intriguing question,
Speaker 2: what is your purpose in this life? And that's a
Speaker 2: big question to ask anybody, So Bobby, Amy, Eddie, they
Speaker 2: all pondered it and shared what they thought their purpose
Speaker 2: to this life is.
Speaker 6: Number six was in my therapist office yesterday and he
Speaker 6: asked me, Hey, what do you think your purpose is?
Speaker 6: That's a big question, a big question because mostly I
Speaker 6: go in and he's like, what's on your mind? And
Speaker 6: I hit him with something and we just kind of
Speaker 6: roll off that. But it was like, hey, what do
Speaker 6: you think your purpose is? So what do you think
Speaker 6: your purpose?
Speaker 4: Is Amy.
Speaker 3: What now you're giving us the sloaded question.
Speaker 6: I'll answer mine, but I don't. I don't want to
Speaker 6: point you. Okay, what do you think your purpose is?
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you said I'm going to answer.
Speaker 4: Mine, that after you answer your oh gosh.
Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna give me time to think.
Speaker 7: You want time.
Speaker 3: I would like it a little time, Eddie.
Speaker 4: What do you think your purpose is?
Speaker 7: It's easy, it's easy.
Speaker 10: Mine is to Yeah, mine is to make everyone around
Speaker 10: me better. So like starting with my family, I want.
Speaker 7: To Amy laugh.
Speaker 4: I'd like to just check in real quick. And I
Speaker 4: just like to check in real quick.
Speaker 3: I love the confidence of Eddie. I think he does
Speaker 3: make our lives better. He's a very joyful laugh.
Speaker 4: I'm just checking in on the last.
Speaker 3: Like, I don't know that I could say that with
Speaker 3: such like. I guess it's I'm laughing also with en
Speaker 3: they of like I wish I could answer with such
Speaker 3: confidence that I have that kind of an impact, and
Speaker 3: like I am supposed to make everybody's life better and
Speaker 3: I do it.
Speaker 4: Okay, well let's hear what he has to say.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that I was put on this earth
Speaker 10: to make people either get get away from their problems, whatever,
Speaker 10: but make them better as people.
Speaker 7: I don't know why I'm not doing anything. I'm just
Speaker 7: being me.
Speaker 10: But starting with my family, I'm raising four boys. My
Speaker 10: goal is to make their life as good as it
Speaker 10: can be and prepare them for the world. My wife,
Speaker 10: I want her life to be better because she's married
Speaker 10: to me. I don't know, man, That's just how I
Speaker 10: feel about my purpose on Earth.
Speaker 8: I think your word choice was hit amy a little
Speaker 8: funky because now we understand what you're saying totally. You
Speaker 8: think your purpose is to be there for people, to
Speaker 8: help them so that they have a better life.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but even someone that I meet, like maybe I
Speaker 10: don't know them, better day after we talk for a
Speaker 10: little bit, their day will be better.
Speaker 8: I can tell you that you are one of the
Speaker 8: most fun people to be around. You're very kind, you
Speaker 8: love small talk, like You're that person that is so
Speaker 8: warm immediately that people are drawn to you, Like we'll
Speaker 8: go to dinner with people that I'll drag Eddy along
Speaker 8: and be like, hey, Edi, we're going to go to dinner.
Speaker 8: I'll give you an example. With rich eyes and from
Speaker 8: ESPN now has his own show. Someone I've looked up
Speaker 8: to for a long time. We've become friends, and I
Speaker 8: was like, Eddie, come to dinner. We're gonna go down
Speaker 8: the rich isond He's like, okay, I'm in. We leave
Speaker 8: and Richards like okay, he goes that Eddie guy.
Speaker 4: I love that guy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's awesome, Like.
Speaker 8: People love Eddie just being around him. I think how
Speaker 8: initially came out was You're gonna make everybody better because
Speaker 8: you're so good.
Speaker 7: I got or anything.
Speaker 10: I just at this feel like I want people to
Speaker 10: leave whatever encounter we had feeling better about them.
Speaker 4: That's beautiful love.
Speaker 8: It left no because what he was saying at first
Speaker 8: it was weird. It was kind of like when Morgan
Speaker 8: number two was talking and she was like, people keep
Speaker 8: coming up to me saying I'm much prettier than pictures and.
Speaker 6: More like that's we know what you mean. But that
Speaker 6: sounds a little weird. Yeah, okay, you're up.
Speaker 3: So I have heard from people.
Speaker 8: That No, No, I've heard I want you to say
Speaker 8: what you think you're This is really hard for me.
Speaker 8: It was hard for me too. Why are you hearing?
Speaker 8: What is your purpose here? Me go sure, okay, because
Speaker 8: it was hard for me too. I think my purpose
Speaker 8: is like if it was all boiled down to something.
Speaker 8: It is to show folks that think they can't do
Speaker 8: it they come from places that people around them aren't doing.
Speaker 4: Whatever it is.
Speaker 8: You want to be, uh, you wanna be famous? Okay,
Speaker 8: you want to play piano, you want to be uh,
Speaker 8: get your the first person to graduate high school in
Speaker 8: your family. You want to get a doctor, you want
Speaker 8: to be a doctor. That it doesn't it doesn't matter
Speaker 8: where you come from. Like I think my purpose is
Speaker 8: to show by example that it doesn't matter where you
Speaker 8: come from, you can do whatever you want. That the
Speaker 8: world is absolutely bendable and resources are far less for
Speaker 8: some folks. But the fact that you don't have those resources,
Speaker 8: once you get to that midpoint, you're so much stronger
Speaker 8: because you got there without all the help other people had.
Speaker 8: So now you're so strong. You're stronger than they are
Speaker 8: at the same exact level. It's to show people to
Speaker 8: be the example to folks that it doesn't matter where
Speaker 8: you come from. If you just keep pushing, you can
Speaker 8: do whatever you want. I think that's my purpose.
Speaker 11: Beautiful, it's good both of you. Beautiful, Okay, Amy purpose
Speaker 11: purpose kind of thing I was thinking that book from
Speaker 11: back in the day. Who wrote it, Rick Warren? Purpose
Speaker 11: driven Life?
Speaker 4: That didn't I didn't read.
Speaker 3: It was big, big, big, big back in the day. Okay, Well,
Speaker 3: I feel like a connector of sorts, and not always publicly.
Speaker 3: I do like connecting with people in our job and
Speaker 3: what I do. I love connecting face to face and
Speaker 3: sharing experiences. But something that has been very meaningful to
Speaker 3: me the last five years is connecting behind the scenes
Speaker 3: and privately with certain things that I've been through and
Speaker 3: being able to support others and come alongside them and
Speaker 3: what they're going through because I feel like I've experienced
Speaker 3: some things in the last several years I never thought
Speaker 3: I would. And again, they're not stuff that everybody knows about,
Speaker 3: but somehow it's like if you're in that circle and
Speaker 3: someone knows, they're like, you need to call Amy, and
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm the
Speaker 3: one with the resource and the information on this. What's
Speaker 3: something that used to be so foreign to me and
Speaker 3: now I know And I can be a connector for
Speaker 3: someone and connect them to the person that could helpfully
Speaker 3: change the trajectory of their life.
Speaker 8: I think you have a lot of empathy based on
Speaker 8: a lot of the public but also private things you've
Speaker 8: been through in the past years. And empathy is not
Speaker 8: something that you can buy. Perspective is not something you
Speaker 8: can buy. Nobody wants to have to get perspective because
Speaker 8: perspective has only gathered through very hard times. But once
Speaker 8: you have it, there really is nothing more valuable than it.
Speaker 8: And I think you have a lot of that in
Speaker 8: those areas. And so now you're the person that people
Speaker 8: that are going through those similar situations hard they can go.
Speaker 8: You know who has perspective and empathy and actually wants
Speaker 8: to help is Amy? Would you say that would be accurate?
Speaker 8: I would say that would be anything that feels right.
Speaker 8: Hard for me to say, but it feels right. Like
Speaker 8: even on the cruise, I connected with a listener, a
Speaker 8: fellow adopted mom, and we ended up sitting next to
Speaker 8: each other at She came to my pizza making class,
Speaker 8: and then we sat by each other and through just
Speaker 8: talking I could tell what she was going through with
Speaker 8: something and something I've never shared publicly with anybody. I
Speaker 8: was able to one on one because it's a private
Speaker 8: situation share with her and then gave her like you
Speaker 8: need to order this book. You need to look up
Speaker 8: at this website and yeah, that was just a moment
Speaker 8: that literally just happened a couple of days ago, where yeah,
Speaker 8: I felt for her, And those are the moments that
Speaker 8: mean a lot to me. I think we all have
Speaker 8: earned tools and it is our obligation to use them
Speaker 8: in a positive way. Yes, we don't want to have
Speaker 8: we never I never volunteered. Ay, I want to grow
Speaker 8: up in poverty in a trailer park and not parents. However,
Speaker 8: I'm telling you I'm so fortunate from what I have
Speaker 8: from that, and I think if I didn't use that
Speaker 8: in a positive way, that's on me and that's not
Speaker 8: good to me. So I think, not just us three,
Speaker 8: but just any of the listeners too, we all have
Speaker 8: earned too that we didn't sign up to have to have.
Speaker 8: But now that we have them, I think it is
Speaker 8: our obligation to use them in a positive way. And
Speaker 8: so I'm just happy that I have Eddie because he
Speaker 8: makes me better every day at this job.
Speaker 10: I like, I like how Bobby we said what we thought.
Speaker 10: Then Bobby like what you mean to say that.
Speaker 4: I hope that didn't come out, but I hope that
Speaker 4: didn't come out wrong.
Speaker 7: No, you just helped us.
Speaker 4: Are you sure though?
Speaker 3: Because it also you did a good job doing it before.
Speaker 4: I don't want to be fixing you.
Speaker 10: I want to know you said it how I should
Speaker 10: have said it well, and I appreciate.
Speaker 3: That I interrupted you with my laugh and I laughed
Speaker 3: at her laugh.
Speaker 10: Can you can you do me a favorite? Can we
Speaker 10: hold this question for lunch Box when he gets back.
Speaker 10: I really want to hear what his purpose.
Speaker 3: He's going to say is the one day be rich?
Speaker 3: And I want to hear that in the lottery.
Speaker 6: Nobody tip him off, You got it? No listeners, they'll
Speaker 6: tip them off.
Speaker 4: All right, Good job, everybody. It's the best Bits of
Speaker 4: the week with Morgan.
Speaker 2: Number two, the next class of Rock and Roll Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame nominees was announced, and it's always fun to
Speaker 2: make Lunchbox guess what songs the nominees sing, and instead
Speaker 2: of just saying a song, he has to sing the song.
Speaker 2: And it does get as interesting as you might think.
Speaker 8: Number five Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They've put
Speaker 8: out their nominees. I just wonder if Lunchbox knows who

Speaker 4: It's the best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 2: Now by request, a listener asked me to start sharing
Speaker 2: the winners of our draft so they can get the
Speaker 2: full conclusion. Our big winner is going to be Bobby
Speaker 2: in this one. He took it away by a landslide.
Speaker 2: And the next bit we're going to get into is
Speaker 2: a story from Amy. She was walking with some girlfriends
Speaker 2: and they found a stray dog and the situation was
Speaker 2: a little sketchy.
Speaker 4: Number three and he says, she has a weird story
Speaker 4: for us. What do you have?
Speaker 3: I need to know y'all's theories on this. So my
Speaker 3: girlfriends and I are on a walk, there's two of us,
Speaker 3: and I have my dog, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: on the walk, this cute little doodle thing starts following us.
Speaker 3: I mean, it is so cute, and I'm like, where
Speaker 3: did this dog come from? And who does it belong to? Well,
Speaker 3: we're about to approach a busier road and the dog
Speaker 3: keeps following my dog, and I'm like, when we get
Speaker 3: to the busy road, like something had happened to this dog.
Speaker 3: So I just decide to go up to a door
Speaker 3: on that street just to see if they recognize the dog,
Speaker 3: and the woman says, oh, yeah, I think it's belongs
Speaker 3: to that cul de sac down there, So I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: so we turn around. We go to the cul de
Speaker 3: sac a which house? So I just start guessing. Go
Speaker 3: to one house, nobody answers. Go to the next house.
Speaker 3: Nobody answers. No, it's just following us, Like I can't,
Speaker 3: we can. Anytime we try to get near it to
Speaker 3: check its collar, it starts barking and like backs away,
Speaker 3: but it's following us, so it's fine. It follows us
Speaker 3: to the cul de sac and then I walk away
Speaker 3: from the second house because nobody's coming. But as I'm
Speaker 3: walking away, a guy starts walking out, but not because
Speaker 3: he heard me. At his door. He's just walking to
Speaker 3: his car, and I was like, oh, hey, excuse me, Like,
Speaker 3: do you know who's this dog is or is it yours?
Speaker 3: And he looks at the dog and he's like, no,
Speaker 3: that's not that's not my dog. And I'm like okay,
Speaker 3: And the dog's like starts barking, like marking, and I'm
Speaker 3: like what is this dog trying to tell us? Like
Speaker 3: is there something going on? And then the guy takes
Speaker 3: a second look and he's like, oh, yeah, that is
Speaker 3: my dog and then calls the dog by name, and
Speaker 3: the dog follows him back inside the house else and
Speaker 3: then he goes and gets in his car and leaves.
Speaker 4: What's your theory?
Speaker 3: Say, Well, so we had some time to think about
Speaker 3: this on our walk because we all my girlfriends and
Speaker 3: we looked at each other were like what just happened?
Speaker 3: Like this was weird, and we think maybe he was
Speaker 3: like maybe just wanting his dog to disappear, you know,
Speaker 3: like I want the dog, his wife's dog to be
Speaker 3: brought back, like he wanted it to be out and
Speaker 3: he wanted it to either get picked up or heaven
Speaker 3: forbid to hit my car.
Speaker 4: I don't know, was he any chance drunk.
Speaker 3: Well, we had our theories of like maybe he didn't
Speaker 3: have his glasses on or had he been drinking, Like
Speaker 3: why in the world with someone. I mean, there this dog.
Speaker 3: There's no denying. If any of us saw our dogs,
Speaker 3: like right in front of us, we'd be like, oh
Speaker 3: my gosh, yeah, that's our dog. And then when he
Speaker 3: left the neighborhood and drove by us, like I was
Speaker 3: thinking how I would handle this situation. I would roll
Speaker 3: down my window and be like, hey, guys, thanks again
Speaker 3: for taking care of my dog, Like thank you. He
Speaker 3: just drives right by like we don't exist. We're like,
Speaker 3: I'm like, we just basically hand delivered your dog back
Speaker 3: to you, And the whole thing just felt so weird,
Speaker 3: like he did not want the dog to return, and
Speaker 3: it made me really sad.
Speaker 8: Okay, I would think it can't be the glasses thing,
Speaker 8: because I'm blind with no glasses and I can still
Speaker 8: tell a dog if it's mine. He it had to
Speaker 8: be like his wife's dog or something that he didn't like,
Speaker 8: and he was happy it was out.
Speaker 4: And didn't want it back. Yeah, I mean that's what
Speaker 4: I would think.
Speaker 7: You guys, Oh, I have a theory.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he was burglarizing the house when he left the
Speaker 10: door open and the dog ran out, and he was,
Speaker 10: oh crap, the dog ran out, so he made up
Speaker 10: some name. The dog obviously knows that that's the house,
Speaker 10: so the house. The dog ran back in the house,
Speaker 10: and that's why he left immediately. He left right after
Speaker 10: the dog went.
Speaker 7: In the house.
Speaker 3: What time of the day was this, I mean it
Speaker 3: was still light out but getting dark.
Speaker 6: Answer, I'd say four. We don't know the real answer,
Speaker 6: but it ain't that one.
Speaker 5: It's easy what he was high as a kite. He
Speaker 5: was high as a kite. He'd been smoking inside and
Speaker 5: he came out.
Speaker 6: He's like, oh wait a minute, that is my dog
Speaker 6: and you saw him thoughts, Yeah, no, part of me.
Speaker 3: Thought he was high and like also his I don't know.
Speaker 3: He didn't look like someone that would just be high,
Speaker 3: like his house.
Speaker 4: I know that you didn't have a high house. I hear, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: he didn't have a Yeah he look like a burglar though,
Speaker 4: no was he wearing just he was.
Speaker 3: He was like us, like our age, Like he looked
Speaker 3: like one of us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely couldn't be high.
Speaker 4: Then. I think they looks like a wife's dog.
Speaker 3: Be honest though, like, yeah, definitely like a little person dog,
Speaker 3: cute little dog.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's probably what it was.
Speaker 3: I know that had to be our working that was
Speaker 3: our working day, but I'm telling you, like, it was
Speaker 3: so like I think that he finally just started to
Speaker 3: be like, oh, yeah, that is my dog, because we
Speaker 3: were looking at him, like the dog was trying to say,
Speaker 3: like it was barking, and I was like, and just
Speaker 3: how bizarre he was like we were just staring at him,
Speaker 3: and so I think he just was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: that is my dog. How it was so off awkward,
Speaker 3: how he looked right at and he was like no.
Speaker 4: I'm surprised he came back to yes though, because if
Speaker 4: you go no, it's just no.
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's it's so weird because his no was so
Speaker 3: like I realized, like he had three women like staring
Speaker 3: at him in a dog barking. He's like, there's no
Speaker 3: way I'm getting out of this.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number two.
Speaker 2: Amy shared a story of a listener on the cruise
Speaker 2: ship who was getting signs while she was out cruising
Speaker 2: with us from her husband who recently passed away.
Speaker 3: And I think this is a.
Speaker 2: Really beautiful story about grief.
Speaker 3: And love and country music.
Speaker 2: So, whatever you may think and whatever you may believe,
Speaker 2: this is a cool one to hear from a listener's perspective.
Speaker 4: Number two.
Speaker 6: Okay, so we have a story about somebody talking to
Speaker 6: somebody from the dead.
Speaker 4: I don't know much about it. Amy you're on the cruise.
Speaker 4: What happens?
Speaker 3: So this woman comes up to Actually Eddie and I
Speaker 3: were walking around and she's like, hey, do y'all mind
Speaker 3: if I share a story with you? And we're like sure. Problem.
Speaker 3: She tells us that her husband passed away a few
Speaker 3: years ago and that he often speaks to her through music.
Speaker 3: She booked this cruise before all the artists were announced
Speaker 3: because there's muse live music all the time. She's like,
Speaker 3: I'm not even the biggest country music fan. I don't
Speaker 3: even know, honestly, why I booked this cruise. She's like,
Speaker 3: but here I am.
Speaker 4: She did say why did she book the cruise? Yes,
Speaker 4: we were on it.
Speaker 3: She doesn't know. She just was like, I'm going to
Speaker 3: go on that cruise.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so sure we were on it. She just
Speaker 4: booked it.
Speaker 7: No, she didn't even really know our show.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Like she just booked a cruise for no read
Speaker 10: with the cruise for no reason.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, but she likes music. But she's like, honestly,
Speaker 3: it's not even country music that's my thing. She said that,
Speaker 3: what was it like? A week before we set sail,
Speaker 3: Cooper Allen was added to the lineup. She bought our
Speaker 3: tickets for this cruise way before that. Well, a song
Speaker 3: that got her through the death of her husband is
Speaker 3: a Cooper Allen song. It's something that was really special
Speaker 3: even to her husband, to her and for you know,
Speaker 3: the last few years, she's used it therapeutically. Well, then
Speaker 3: Cooper Allen's added to the cruise that she didn't even
Speaker 3: really want to go on. Then he's on the boat.
Speaker 3: She runs into him on the boat. She's able to
Speaker 3: tell him how special this song is and what it
Speaker 3: means to her, and he's like, oh, we are you
Speaker 3: coming to my show in the theater tonight And she
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, I'm going to be there. He's like
Speaker 3: all right. She gets to the show, he's on stage,
Speaker 3: he tells the story, he dedicates the song to her
Speaker 3: and her husband, and then performs it. And so she's like,
Speaker 3: my husband's always spoken to me through music. So my
Speaker 3: husband's here on this boat like he was in this moment.
Speaker 3: He orchestrated this whole thing. Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 7: What do you think?
Speaker 4: I mean?
Speaker 3: Let me let me just let me give you this, Bobby.
Speaker 3: I know you're like coincidental it, but so my question
Speaker 3: for you here is is this coincidence or supernatural?
Speaker 4: So I love this for her.
Speaker 8: Coincidence anything that brings her closer to her husband that
Speaker 8: she loved, A plus for it.
Speaker 3: But what are the odds?
Speaker 4: The odds?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 8: So her husband orchestrated me having to leave a day
Speaker 8: early from the crowd has nothing to do with you, No,
Speaker 8: because he wouldn't have come on because I paid my
Speaker 8: own money to get him on that boat. Cooper Allen, Yes, yes,
Speaker 8: I cut my money to pay to get him on
Speaker 8: the boat because I had to leave a day early.
Speaker 7: Who this is a ring?
Speaker 3: This is a I guess, So I guess he did.
Speaker 8: So let me get this straight. I want to say
Speaker 8: this in a way though that is extremely respectful. So
Speaker 8: I love this for her.
Speaker 3: But now, beautiful moment, I mean, she's like in tears.
Speaker 4: Now can I just be the person now that just
Speaker 4: says stuff?
Speaker 3: You mean that like squashes on someone.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, just what because I love this for her.
Speaker 4: I didn't want to tell the story because I don't
Speaker 4: want to be the guy that like rains on a per.
Speaker 3: I shall sit back.
Speaker 4: No, no, I just don't want to be pregnant.
Speaker 7: Well, we heard her story, so let's hear your story.
Speaker 3: I don't have a story. All I'm saying bring an
Speaker 3: interesting wrinkle.
Speaker 4: In my mind.
Speaker 8: I go my wife, my wife being extremely pregnant, and
Speaker 8: the doctor saying you can't be out at sea with
Speaker 8: no way to get back, and I'm like, okay, I
Speaker 8: have to leave a day early. So then I take
Speaker 8: the money that I'm getting paid to pay for Cooper
Speaker 8: Allen to come on the boat. So that would mean
Speaker 8: her husband got my wife pregnant at a certain time. Yeah,
Speaker 8: her dead husband IM pregnant and my wife no.
Speaker 4: I mean, he says, I'm mad at him.
Speaker 3: He was part of the pregnancy.
Speaker 8: He was probably he was okay, and I'm okay with
Speaker 8: that if if I can't prove that's not true. By
Speaker 8: the way, I can't prove that all that didn't happen.
Speaker 8: But I'm saying in my mind, I go, oh, this
Speaker 8: all happened because of some you know, physical some health things. Uh,
Speaker 8: doctor says, this wife gets pregnant at this point, and
Speaker 8: then I go, hey, I will pay for another artist
Speaker 8: because I can't stay a day, And so I paid
Speaker 8: for Cooper Allen to go on that boat with my money,
Speaker 8: and so he comes on the boat and then all
Speaker 8: that happened.
Speaker 4: I think that is a beautiful coincidence. I love it.
Speaker 8: I love it, and so I don't want to speak
Speaker 8: ill of it because you put me in a place
Speaker 8: to speak ill of it. But I'm also being met
Speaker 8: with the logic of the situation. But I also can't
Speaker 8: prove that her deceased husband didn't impregnate my wife a
Speaker 8: long time ago.
Speaker 3: WHOA, yeah, I don't know that he had to impregnated.
Speaker 3: But he's orchestra. He's pulling this like he's somehow involved.
Speaker 7: Okay, so you think this is supernatural with the help
Speaker 7: of the Lord.
Speaker 4: Okay, so then that's different. I think the Lord's helping
Speaker 4: everything every single That's.
Speaker 10: What I hear out of this whole story, that this
Speaker 10: was all part of the plan is because it.
Speaker 8: Could have happened to where it's go I'm like, well,
Speaker 8: gotta leave a day earlier than I thought. Hmm, wonder
Speaker 8: what we should do? And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 8: it's like cool exactly he plants that in mind.
Speaker 3: It's like, why would you choose Cooper Allen?
Speaker 4: I have no way to prove that any of that
Speaker 4: is wrong.
Speaker 3: I don't, by the way, strong selection, because he was awesome.
Speaker 7: He's great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was good, fantastic, like really good. They didn't
Speaker 4: tell you, guys, no, no one said that. He may
Speaker 4: not even know.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. But that was just I was just
Speaker 4: using that in the story for That's how that happened.
Speaker 3: Gotcha, So okay.
Speaker 4: Well, but I love that for her.
Speaker 3: You were a part of a beautiful moment. Whether it's
Speaker 3: coincidental or supernatural. It was a really cool story to
Speaker 3: hear and a very special.
Speaker 4: Moment for her. I love all that. But you made me.
Speaker 3: I didn't. I can't make you do anything.
Speaker 4: You did.
Speaker 8: No, you wanted, you wanted me to speak on it,
Speaker 8: and you knew how I was going to speak on it.
Speaker 4: You set me up to fail.
Speaker 3: Nope, Now you say what you want to say. I
Speaker 3: can't make you say anything.
Speaker 4: I do love that story, though, that's all he's great.
Speaker 3: Huh yeah, wait the dead husband.
Speaker 4: Or Cooper nor both, but h Cooper's great.
Speaker 6: And I didn't know him, and he came into a
Speaker 6: Bobby cast which was wonderful, and then I was like, oh,
Speaker 6: I kind of get this guy because he would do
Speaker 6: the mashups and I'd be like, some of those are
Speaker 6: really good, some other corny, but who cares what I think?
Speaker 6: But then I got to know and I was like, oh,
Speaker 6: I think I like him as a person. Then I
Speaker 6: played golf with him at an event, him and his dad,
Speaker 6: and I was like, I love this dude.
Speaker 3: So what was crazy was she told Eddie and I
Speaker 3: that story, thinking like, if you see Cooper again, can
Speaker 3: you tell him thank you so much? Because I love
Speaker 3: that was a special moment the concert. Well then lo
Speaker 3: and behold, we didn't if we'd run into Cooper again,
Speaker 3: but guess who was on our flight home. Cooper's manager,
Speaker 3: So we got to tell him.
Speaker 7: That's cool and hopefully it'll get back to Cooper.
Speaker 4: It will very full circ this. We'll probably get back
Speaker 4: to him as well too. It's the best Bits of
Speaker 4: the Week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 2: Aaron Watson stopped by the studio and It is really
Speaker 2: fun to hear stories from him. Not only is he

Speaker 2: taking his daughter to a lot of concerts, including Taylor
Speaker 2: Swift and performing with his son on stage. So here
Speaker 2: it is Aaron Watson Studio.
Speaker 4: Number one on the Bobby Bones Show. Now Aaron watching everybody,

Speaker 7: I like it.
Speaker 4: At the sake of our ratings. He will shake hands
Speaker 4: with everybody. You should have.
Speaker 6: Thought about your ratings before you invited me on here.
Speaker 6: I'm just throwing that out there.
Speaker 4: What's up, buddy, I'm good. I'm glad I didn't wear
Speaker 4: that shirt.
Speaker 7: Were you gonna wear the same cardigan?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh, you mean the one behind you or the one
Speaker 4: the one behind me. I'm glad I didn't wear that shirt.
Speaker 3: I thought he was taking a jab at your pink
Speaker 3: shirt and your cardigan.
Speaker 6: I would have accepted that and said, I'm glad you
Speaker 6: didn't wear my pink shirt and cardigan as well.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 6: I do have a cardigan one. I have one at home.
Speaker 6: My daughter bought it for me, and you wear it.
Speaker 6: I wore it once when we went to a Taylor
Speaker 6: Swift concert, and uh.
Speaker 4: Because that's a Taylor Swift thing. How did you like
Speaker 4: going to a Taylor Swift concert? It was fun. I
Speaker 4: enjoyed it.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you, I've cried at two concerts in my career,
Speaker 6: and one was at Paul McCartney when he got up
Speaker 6: there and sang a song that he wrote for John.
Speaker 4: And then the other one was the Taylor Swift concert.
Speaker 4: I cried. What moved you about that?
Speaker 6: Just this music that I've been enjoying with my daughter
Speaker 6: her whole life, from when she was little, and then
Speaker 6: seeing her just lose her mind, going crazy, having fun
Speaker 6: and she started crying, and I think I just I
Speaker 6: looked at her at some point and I was like,
Speaker 6: my little girl is growing up quick, and I just
Speaker 6: I realized I was having like a moment like I
Speaker 6: realized I had. I was having a moment and it
Speaker 6: was pretty special and it was it was a fun concert,
Speaker 6: you know.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 6: My daughter was very impressed that, like I was getting
Speaker 6: recognized and took some selfies. But I did tell her,
Speaker 6: I said, hey, I want you to look at this
Speaker 6: where this section we're sitting go down because your Dad's
Speaker 6: already done the math for what I paid for the tickets.
Speaker 6: I said, go down eight rows from here, down eight
Speaker 6: rows all the way over to the next walkway aisle.
Speaker 4: I said, those seats.
Speaker 6: Your old man has to play about one hundred and
Speaker 6: fifty shows a year to make that much money. So
Speaker 6: just letting you know how amazing, Like I was, like, girl,
Speaker 6: I'm thinking the math. Of course, you know, there's no
Speaker 6: telling what her production costs, but it was it was
Speaker 6: a fun show.
Speaker 4: And yeah, the big show. People love the not obviously
Speaker 4: the songs, but how she pulls off that show.
Speaker 6: It's so impressive. And I mean, I've always been a
Speaker 6: Taylor Swift fan. I grew up my buddy Scott. His
Speaker 6: mom is Liz Rose, So like wrote, I remember in
Speaker 6: like the early nineties going over to Liz's house and
Speaker 6: there was some guitars, and I remember asking Scott, like,
Speaker 6: what's up with the guitars? And I remember Scott going,
Speaker 6: I don't know. Mom thinks she's going to be a
Speaker 6: songwriter or something. And so that's just such a great
Speaker 6: story in itself. So but the weirdest thing ever happened
Speaker 6: to me. And at the Taylor Swift concert, I guess
Speaker 6: there was. One of the openers was like b ba
Speaker 6: dooby or something.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna bet you're not pronouncing that right, but I
Speaker 4: don't know.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I'm probably not saying it right. I mean, my daughter here,
Speaker 6: she really helped. You might be saying it right though,
Speaker 6: I've just not heard that. So after b Badoba or Bbadoobee.
Speaker 4: Mike, we're gonna come to you in a second for
Speaker 4: an official explanation of who it is.
Speaker 6: It is bbadoobe You're right, congratulations, All right, thank you, Mike.
Speaker 6: I'm not familiar with that artist. So my daughter goes dad.
Speaker 6: So after Bbadoobey's performance, Jolie looks at me and goes, dad,
Speaker 6: if you need to go to the bathroom, now is
Speaker 6: the time because Taylor shows like three hours. So I
Speaker 6: was like, okay, let's go. So we go up to
Speaker 6: the bathrooms. There is a mile long line in the
Speaker 6: girl's bathroom. The guy's bathroom there's no line. So I
Speaker 6: was like, thank you Lord. I walk in about the
Speaker 6: same time as this, like high school dude. We walk
Speaker 6: through the first set of doors, we walk in the
Speaker 6: next set of doors. This this bathroom is packed full
Speaker 6: of high school girls. Oh, wanting to get a quicker
Speaker 6: way to into the bathroom. Oh yeah, they're in the
Speaker 6: men's bathroom. And that high school boy was like he
Speaker 6: said I remember, he goes, oh, heck no me. I'm
Speaker 6: in my forties and I don't have that kind of
Speaker 6: negotiating power with myself anymore. It's like, I'm not gonna
Speaker 6: make it three hours, dude. There are there are four
Speaker 6: other dads pulled up to these journals, right and I'm
Speaker 6: looking at all these girls and I'm looking at this
Speaker 6: situation and like my mind's racing, like what do I do?
Speaker 4: What do I do?
Speaker 6: A dad walks away from one of the urinals. It's
Speaker 6: my turn, and he kind of gives me this like.
Speaker 4: I don't know what to do? You know, do you
Speaker 4: what do you do? Kind of look.
Speaker 6: So I'm like, okay, we're doing this. We're doing this.
Speaker 6: So I pull up to the urinal to do my thing,
Speaker 6: and in the middle of the process, some girl behind
Speaker 6: me says, Hey, Aaron, why don't you sing us a song?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah?
Speaker 6: And I was like, that's really that was pretty messed up.
Speaker 6: And I and I literally said that, I said, girls,
Speaker 6: and they're all laughing. I said, girls, that's messed up.
Speaker 6: That's messed up, girls. And I mean, but we had
Speaker 6: so much fun. I love going to concerts and it's fun.
Speaker 6: That's kind of me. And I don't to go to
Speaker 6: many concerts though, because you're on the road a lot,
Speaker 6: not a lot. I don't get to go to a lot.
Speaker 4: Every time I see you on TikTok, you're on the road,
Speaker 4: You're no, you're doing a show? Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 8: Are you doing a lot of shows? Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 8: all I'm saying, Like, you're on the road a lot
Speaker 8: playing shows.
Speaker 6: We always my daughter has the bands in town app
Speaker 6: and so I'm like, find the dates where you know,
Speaker 6: we're going to a George Strait concert. We bought tickets
Speaker 6: this week and it's on a day that I have off,
Speaker 6: and so we have a lot of fun. She has
Speaker 6: a long list of artists we're gonna go see, and
Speaker 6: I'll be honest, I know a lot of them about
Speaker 6: as well as you know Bbadooby.
Speaker 4: I do not know Biba Dooby.
Speaker 7: That's the thing. I never even heard of Bbadobey.
Speaker 4: Like I'm out, I'm out of here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sometimes just like I am. I She's taken
Speaker 6: me to places where I look like that dad, Like
Speaker 6: I'm like, let's go. But just seeing her smile and singing,
Speaker 6: like I whatever it takes.
Speaker 4: Do you.
Speaker 8: Feel though, like when you go to these shows with
Speaker 8: your daughter, like does she like any of the music
Speaker 8: that you also liked?
Speaker 4: And that does that ever hit you?
Speaker 6: Like, it's so cool that she likes music that I
Speaker 6: also like, like older stuff. Oh yeah, like she's she
Speaker 6: loves the Beatles, she loves Elton John She's I mean,
Speaker 6: I posted a video a while back.
Speaker 4: She's in there at night.
Speaker 6: You know, I can hear her in there in the
Speaker 6: bathroom getting ready for bed, and she is just singing
Speaker 6: Keith Whitley at the top of her lungs. So it's cool.
Speaker 6: Like we did this little cover album just for fun
Speaker 6: a couple of years back called cover Girl, and I
Speaker 6: did it actually as a project with Jolie because all
Speaker 6: Joe was listening to was Taylor Swift and I said, well,
Speaker 6: Taylor's great. I go, there are so many like you
Speaker 6: need to know, the Amy Lou Harris of the world, like,
Speaker 6: and so it's fun for she and I. We take
Speaker 6: a lot of drives, whether it's in my truck or
Speaker 6: the Corvette or the jeep. We take these drives just
Speaker 6: to listen to music, and she's in control of the radio,
Speaker 6: so you never know what I want to be listening to.
Speaker 6: What about your son he plays with you, he's I
Speaker 6: think he's good, dude. Well, already have labels calling about him.
Speaker 6: And I'm like, the boy hasn't even recorded anything yet.
Speaker 6: He's so good. He's older though, Yeah, Jake is nineteen,
Speaker 6: and so Jack. And then there's Jack who's eighteen. Jack
Speaker 6: is too smart to be in the music industry. Jack
Speaker 6: is already Jack Hardy has like two hundred ounces of
Speaker 6: silver and a couple of ounces of gold, like he
Speaker 6: works by stock. Like I was showing Jack some of
Speaker 6: my most horrible investments I've ever made, thinking that would
Speaker 6: show him like, hey, you win some, you lose some.
Speaker 6: And he looked at me and he goes, why would
Speaker 6: you have ever thought that that company was a good idea?
Speaker 6: And I was like, okay, well, now you actually think
Speaker 6: Pops is even probably dumber than you already did.
Speaker 4: So that backfired on me. But I'm having more fun.
Speaker 6: I'm telling you right now, if they gave an award
Speaker 6: out for a country artist that has the most fun
Speaker 6: at their shows, I would win it because I love
Speaker 6: what I'm doing. But now I'm literally like on stage
Speaker 6: with my son and we're jamming out. I'll go over
Speaker 6: there and you know, mess with him and undo a
Speaker 6: pearl snap or I'll go up and button the top
Speaker 6: pearl snap, and I just love messing with him. And
Speaker 6: then I just hand him the mic and I'm like,
Speaker 6: Pops is tired, you know, Death's tired, and dude, he'll
Speaker 6: just and they go nuts for him. And he's a
Speaker 6: great songwriter. He's he's he's gonna be dangerous.
Speaker 8: Was there a point where he was actually good enough?
Speaker 8: Did you ever let him play with you when he
Speaker 8: wasn't quite there? To help him get there? And then
Speaker 8: there was a point where you realize, oh, now he
Speaker 8: can actually play with this. I don't really have to
Speaker 8: like prop him up anymore.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I was very protective for a while, like if he
Speaker 6: would be if he was singing a song, I'd have
Speaker 6: the mic just waiting to see, like if he kind
Speaker 6: of stumbled, I could jump in and sing with him.
Speaker 6: But he's been getting on stage with me since he
Speaker 6: was I mean five or six, because he just loves
Speaker 6: to play. And now he has my whole show memorized,
Speaker 6: and like a couple of weeks ago, my drummer his
Speaker 6: flight got delayed and we had soundcheck, so my son
Speaker 6: just jumped in there behind the drums. He knows the
Speaker 6: entire show on the drums too. He knows the entire
Speaker 6: show on the guitar. He's he's super talented and it's
Speaker 6: fun to watch.
Speaker 4: Is he a better guitar player than you?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 4: Like when he was twelve? Oh?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean but Jake, Jake started with the Beatles,
Speaker 6: you know, then got into like Mark Knoppler, dire Strach
Speaker 6: and I mean, he just started learning all this crazy
Speaker 6: stuff and honestly, you know, and I'm not like the
Speaker 6: biggest John Mayer fan, Like I have a great appreciation
Speaker 6: for his music, and I like a lot of his songs,
Speaker 6: but a lot of John's acoustic stuff is so like
Speaker 6: Chad Atkins. It's just got that country fingerstyle guitar picking.
Speaker 6: And Jake learned all that stuff. So his playing is
Speaker 6: so good, and he's hungry. He calls me, you know,
Speaker 6: he's in college, so he'll call me late at night
Speaker 6: and I'm like, what are you doing. He's like, well,
Speaker 6: I should be studying, but I'm working on a song.
Speaker 6: And I'm like, well, just I know your mom says
Speaker 6: you want you to make good grades. I'm like, if
Speaker 6: you could just like, you know, have good attendance and pass,
Speaker 6: but don't tell your mom I said that. What's Amarello like? Now,
Speaker 6: it's been probably two years since I've been there. Well,
Speaker 6: you know, I live I grew up there.
Speaker 7: Are you not there?
Speaker 4: No, I've been in Abilene for a while now.
Speaker 6: In three years since i've been there. What's Abilene like?
Speaker 6: It's it's growing like crazy. They've got like it's it's
Speaker 6: it's supposed to like double in size over the next
Speaker 6: ten years because like Google and has showed up and
Speaker 6: AI some aideals showed up. I mean we live about,
Speaker 6: I don't know, twenty minutes south of town, kind of
Speaker 6: where the hill country starts, Buffalo Gap, Texas.
Speaker 4: It's a thriving.
Speaker 7: Is it only you guys?
Speaker 6: No, it's actually started growing. But it's we're we're out
Speaker 6: in the middle of nowhere, so it's it's pretty nice.
Speaker 7: What about you. You got a pretty big ranch? Big?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's of land out there. Yeah, I've got a
Speaker 4: We've got a big ranch. Out there.
Speaker 6: We built a ranch house on the edge of this
Speaker 6: little canyon that has a bluff behind it, and I wrote,
Speaker 6: I built that place just to write songs. So we
Speaker 6: we use that house for a lot of different reasons.
Speaker 6: I have rids come in, uh, my bus driver band
Speaker 6: guys will stay there sometimes, you know.
Speaker 3: So that's not your primary house, No.
Speaker 6: It's kind of like the doghouse. Like also, if I
Speaker 6: get kicked out of the house, I'm like, not the property.
Speaker 3: No, it's about.
Speaker 6: Five or six miles away. So but it's a really
Speaker 6: cool place. And like if if someone at church, you know,
Speaker 6: needs a place to stay, I'm like, well, you can
Speaker 6: go to the ranch house. So we do a lot
Speaker 6: of writing at the ranch and we I've recorded a
Speaker 6: lot of vocals there, but that I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's just kind of my it's my happy place.
Speaker 6: And also to like, whenever I go out to the ranch,
Speaker 6: I will look around and I'm like, you know, I
Speaker 6: bought this with a song, like a lot of songs,
Speaker 6: not one, but like a lot of songs.
Speaker 4: But it always makes me go wow. You know.
Speaker 6: People always say you think someday you'll ever like make it,
Speaker 6: and I was like, that's an interesting You know, that's
Speaker 6: an interesting statement because what is make it? And I've
Speaker 6: always told people the reason why I'm successful is because
Speaker 6: I made sure that I made goal, that my goals
Speaker 6: were achievable. Like if I would have started off my
Speaker 6: career saying I want to be bigger than George Strait
Speaker 6: someday or as big you know, that's a pretty big dream.
Speaker 6: But my goal was it would be really awesome if
Speaker 6: someday I had a career where I could write my songs,
Speaker 6: record my songs, play shows, and you well enough that
Speaker 6: I could provide for my family. And so that's you know,
Speaker 6: I've I've been able to achieve that. When you talk
Speaker 6: about seeing your house going, I got that because I
Speaker 6: wrote song. Sometimes I look at my swimming pool and
Speaker 6: go I was able to get that because I just
Speaker 6: say stuff that's crazy to me.
Speaker 4: I'm the same way.
Speaker 6: I'm the same way that I'm like, what in the
Speaker 6: world it feels like it should be against the law.
Speaker 4: Because a swimming pool, to me meant somebody made it.
Speaker 4: Do they even call swimming pools? They call it pools cool? Okay?
Speaker 4: Is that weird? When I say swimming pool, I call
Speaker 4: it a swimming pool.
Speaker 3: Well do you say washing powder?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 3: Okay? Detergent.
Speaker 8: Obviously I'm from Arkansas, but I have things that I
Speaker 8: haven't been able to shake consciously. So I will just
Speaker 8: say things, for example, that wasn't on purpose. I say
Speaker 8: swimming pool. And if I'm talking about doing the laundry,
Speaker 8: I think I've been better, but it's always been like, yeah,
Speaker 8: we'll use some washing powder and bul book.
Speaker 4: That's awesome. I'm going to start using that. No, no,
Speaker 4: it's never on purpose.
Speaker 6: But that's what they're alluding to is at times I
Speaker 6: can't shake some of that fundamental Arkansas language. I like it, though,
Speaker 6: it's I mean, it's like I'm gonna use that when
Speaker 6: I get home that I'm gonna be like, Babe, where
Speaker 6: are the flips of washing powder?
Speaker 4: She could be like, what are you talking about? Yeah?
Speaker 4: So no, I'm the same way.
Speaker 6: I'll say I'll say something and I don't I can't
Speaker 6: think of a.
Speaker 4: Word right now.
Speaker 6: But I'll say something and people be like, what did
Speaker 6: you just what did you just actually say? And I
Speaker 6: don't know if it's you know, being raised in West
Speaker 6: Texas and my mom.
Speaker 4: For sure, West Texas vernacular for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: how long you guys been married? Gosh, twenty four years.
Speaker 4: She's put up with me for twenty four years.
Speaker 8: What's what's the what's what? It's hard to say like
Speaker 8: why or like what's the reason? But what do you
Speaker 8: feel like is the common thread in relationships like yours
Speaker 8: that have lasted A.
Speaker 4: Good woman that's a patient and you know, I think.
Speaker 6: I think the best way I can describe it is
Speaker 6: like I remember when I was like four or five,
Speaker 6: my mom and dad got into a knockdown, drag out argument,
Speaker 6: and I remember Mom slammed the front door and I
Speaker 6: was in bed, and my bedroom was the closed in
Speaker 6: single car garage that my dad, you know, when my
Speaker 6: sister was born, he turned that into my bedroom. So
Speaker 6: when Mom fired up the car that night, I remember
Speaker 6: the headlights like lit up my room, and I was
Speaker 6: pretty upset about it. And when I'm sure my mom,
Speaker 6: I'm sure Mom drove down the street to her sister's house,
Speaker 6: my aunt Be. I have an aunt Be, and I'm
Speaker 6: sure they had like a diet coke and they she
Speaker 6: cooled off and she came home. And when she came
Speaker 6: home that night, she came into my room and I
Speaker 6: was so little but I remember this, she said. I
Speaker 6: asked her, I said, what what happened with you and dad?
Speaker 6: And she said, well, we had argument. And I was like, well,
Speaker 6: what happened, you know, like what was going on? And
Speaker 6: she said, well, I'm just going to tell you this,
Speaker 6: she said right now. I do not like your daddy,
Speaker 6: she said, but I love him with all my heart.
Speaker 6: And I think that's the mentality that like, you know,
Speaker 6: because that's the mentality you got to have because I'm
Speaker 6: not naturally like that, Like I'm more dramatic, like the
Speaker 6: sky is falling. If there are times where I'm like,
Speaker 6: if it wasn't for the kids, like I just want
Speaker 6: to pack my bags and hit the road. Of course
Speaker 6: I'd get ten miles down the road and be like
Speaker 6: where am I actually going? You know, But that's how
Speaker 6: that's how I work, That's how my mind works. And
Speaker 6: you know, I just think it's one of those things where,
Speaker 6: you know, for me in this phase of my life,
Speaker 6: you know, it's just you know, I it's not easy.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'll just say this, it's just not easy.
Speaker 6: It not not easy. Sometimes I'll say like impossible, So.
Speaker 3: You know you're really selling this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, but it's one of those things really
Speaker 6: and you feel like the villain and she's the greatest
Speaker 6: superhero of all time.
Speaker 3: Well, well he was the one that was He's he's gonna.
Speaker 7: Pack, That's what I'm saying, Like, he's the one that's like,
Speaker 7: I gotta go.
Speaker 3: I think maybe if she's here, she'd be like, well I.
Speaker 4: Was already, she was here. She's just slap him and say, Aaron,
Speaker 4: stop talking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she would give him a shovel.
Speaker 6: No, it would be this this this look she gives
Speaker 6: me where it's like, please stop talking, where she just
Speaker 6: does the side I like, you have to say anything.
Speaker 3: It sounds like there's moments where y'all don't like each other,
Speaker 3: but you love each other absolutely.
Speaker 4: But that's that's any relationship. Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: The true love is there, unconditional love.
Speaker 6: The secret though, I mean I don't I don't know
Speaker 6: the secret, you know, if if we're gonna be married,
Speaker 6: if if we make it fifty something years, bro, we
Speaker 6: still got the other side of the mountain to go.
Speaker 6: So it's like, but I think it's just that it's
Speaker 6: just trying to trying really hard to work through the
Speaker 6: tough stuff and man, we've had some you know, we've
Speaker 6: had some tough stuff, you know. I mean we lost
Speaker 6: a child together, and you know, I think if we
Speaker 6: were to like probably dig deep into counseling, I do
Speaker 6: think that that probably that was hard on she and
Speaker 6: I both, just you know, there were and at that
Speaker 6: time we had like a literally a.
Speaker 4: Like a four year.
Speaker 6: Old, a two and a half year old, and like
Speaker 6: we had three little ones already, So I mean, I
Speaker 6: don't know, it does make for good songwriting material, you know,
Speaker 6: And that's life and a lot of times I try
Speaker 6: to capture those feelings and put it into a song.
Speaker 6: And I really I try to do that with a
Speaker 6: lot of my music. Like, man, if I'm feeling something,
Speaker 6: I try to be real about it because you have
Speaker 6: to think there's other people out there that are going
Speaker 6: through those kind of things. And I've always found music
Speaker 6: to be very therapeutic. So even to write, Oh writing,
Speaker 6: writing is my favorite thing. Writing is It's what I
Speaker 6: live for. Like I wake up in the morning excited
Speaker 6: to make coffee and go sit on the back porch
Speaker 6: and write. And I tell you, there's like me writing
Speaker 6: right now. I'm a different writer. Like I know, I'm
Speaker 6: not supposed to talk about the next record. We've got
Speaker 6: this new record Horse. They're just about to do one
Speaker 6: with twenty six songs here, Yeah, and it's gonna have
Speaker 6: forty on it when it's all said and done. But
Speaker 6: I've already finished the next record, and.
Speaker 4: Don't say that one's even better. You know, we're focused
Speaker 4: on this one.
Speaker 6: Can't help it, can't help it. But the thing about
Speaker 6: it is is that like, I don't know why why now?
Speaker 6: I feel like my mom's always set up. Like I
Speaker 6: remember saying, Mom, am I ever going to grow sideburns?
Speaker 6: And she was like, baby, you're just a late bloomer.
Speaker 6: So I don't know if it's my songwriting has been
Speaker 6: kind of a late bloomer. I'm so proud of all
Speaker 6: my past twenty five years of songs, but I just
Speaker 6: feel like I'm seeing things differently. I don't know if
Speaker 6: it's just a combination of where I'm at in life
Speaker 6: or probably too it has a lot to do with
Speaker 6: the fact that I have two kids that are writing,
Speaker 6: and I want them to see my work ethic, I
Speaker 6: want them to see how hard I work at my craft.
Speaker 6: Those kind of things explain like I'm five, what it
Speaker 6: means to be an independent artist, which you are a
Speaker 6: lot of freedom and that's one reason why I'm independent.
Speaker 6: Also survival. I mean, if you have a dream and
Speaker 6: you want to be a country singer and you know,
Speaker 6: no labels in town, I think you're good enough, Well
Speaker 6: do you just give up on your dream? And it's
Speaker 6: a much different environment than it was. I mean even
Speaker 6: when we first met, you know, almost ten years ago
Speaker 6: or whatever. I mean back then. I mean, go look,
Speaker 6: go go back and look at Country Music Awards shows
Speaker 6: in two thousand and fifteen, sixteen seventeen, like it's me
Speaker 6: and about three other dudes that have buckles and cowboy
Speaker 6: hats and boots on and back then that they called
Speaker 6: me a hat act. Back then, you know, I was
Speaker 6: Texas music and it wouldn't work outside of Texas, and
Speaker 6: you know, and so I love now when Ella Langley
Speaker 6: has a song that right off the bat talks about
Speaker 6: my two hometowns a Mailla and Apley. The first second
Speaker 6: I heard that song, I made a video and I
Speaker 6: was like, this is gonna be the big song.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a number one hit. So I mean,
Speaker 4: I don't know, it's like.
Speaker 6: I I I think that I do take a little
Speaker 6: pride in being able to talk to a lot of
Speaker 6: independent artists to saying, hey, what's your business model? It's
Speaker 6: about running a good business, making good business decisions. But
Speaker 6: I also love the fact that, like, I'm recording, I've
Speaker 6: got sessions in the March, We're recording some fun little
Speaker 6: side projects. I'm recording it again in May. I just
Speaker 6: love the fact that I don't have to ask some
Speaker 6: record label like is it okay?
Speaker 4: If I do this? Is it okay?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: If I get excited about the music, that's what matters.
Speaker 6: So sounds like the good is you as a creative
Speaker 6: can do the creative things that you want to do.
Speaker 6: It sounds like the difficult thing is, especially early, is
Speaker 6: nobody's funding it. You're having to fund everything yourself. You're
Speaker 6: having to find all the money to make all the
Speaker 6: things happen. Yeah, that's like we are. We've got this
Speaker 6: five year plan and this new album, Horse named Texas
Speaker 6: is day one, and we're going to be going to
Speaker 6: radio over the next five years. Well you're here now,
Speaker 6: I'm here when you're literally here now day one?
Speaker 7: Okay, I'm just making sure what is day one?
Speaker 4: You know where you are We're not a Chick fil a,
Speaker 4: Like we're here.
Speaker 6: This is day one, Okay, I was like day one
Speaker 6: of my five year plan.
Speaker 4: We must be on the Bobby Bones Show. There are
Speaker 4: twenty six songs on this record. It's a lot of songs.
Speaker 4: Could you not part with some of them?
Speaker 7: Did you want?
Speaker 4: Why that? Why?
Speaker 8: I'm just always when it's an odd number, like twenty six.
Speaker 8: If it were eleven or twelve, I get it standard, yeah,
Speaker 8: if it were forty and you're like, it's a double album,
Speaker 8: but twenty six is kind of an odd number of songs.
Speaker 4: Why well, we had them recorded.
Speaker 6: They're all songs I'm proud of, and those are all
Speaker 6: songs that I wrote. Dear in that phase what would
Speaker 6: you call that phase? What was that season called?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 4: The last four years a lot of ups and downs.
Speaker 6: I had two vocal cord surgeries, had a lot of
Speaker 6: time off, and for me, it's like I wrote all
Speaker 6: these songs together, and you know it's it's for me.
Speaker 6: I don't want to sit here and be like, I'm thankful.
Speaker 6: I've had this long career. I've done enough for me.
Speaker 6: I want to do more than I've ever done in
Speaker 6: the next five years. And so I love those songs.
Speaker 6: Those songs are finished, those songs need to go out.
Speaker 6: I'm passionate about them right now. But I'm already having
Speaker 6: a hard time not wanting to push this next record.
Speaker 6: I've already finished, and Greg is over there like stup
Speaker 6: do not well so am I. I'm like, stop talking
Speaker 6: about the next record. We got twenty six songs here
Speaker 6: in this record. It's out now.
Speaker 4: It's my art and it's like it's it's it's one
Speaker 4: of those things.
Speaker 6: It's it's almost like talking about your kids, like I
Speaker 6: found myself, especially when they were little and baseball and
Speaker 6: like we go in somewhere next thing. You know, I'm like,
Speaker 6: I talked about my kids the whole time and did
Speaker 6: not talk about the record. But it's just you get
Speaker 6: you get excited about the music. And so but yeah,
Speaker 6: Horse named Texas. It's it's a story about my career.
Speaker 6: It's it's where I've been, where I'm at, and where
Speaker 6: I want to go and why I do it. Like
Speaker 6: the second verse says, came up short, been bucked off,
Speaker 6: had my heart stomped in the dirt, but I got
Speaker 6: back up, got back on Tom and Tom again, and
Speaker 6: after all these years, I've learned a winner's just a
Speaker 6: loser who keeps on losing till the day they finally win.
Speaker 6: And that's just the story of It's a lot like
Speaker 6: your story.
Speaker 7: Fall Until You Don't. It's one of my books.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I should have made you a co writer on there.
Speaker 6: Or you just could have said, Hey, Biby's book Fall
Speaker 6: Until You Don't on Amazon.
Speaker 4: Herey, where's where's what camera do I look at? Pick one?
Speaker 6: Go on Aaron Watson. Here, Bob, Bobby's new book Phil.
Speaker 4: Until You Don't.
Speaker 6: It old book actually inspired me to write this whole
Speaker 6: new album, Horse Named Texas, and it will change your life.
Speaker 4: It's my camera. Okay, Hey, it's Bobby here.
Speaker 8: I wrote that book Fail Until You Don't, inspire by
Speaker 8: the record Horse named Texas Aaron Watson. That came out
Speaker 8: years later, but I really felt it in my heart
Speaker 8: what it was gonna say. So please check out Horse
Speaker 8: named Texas. Now that's my dog, right, that's back and forth.
Speaker 4: That's my dog.
Speaker 3: We both did that, and it's like you're a loser
Speaker 3: till you're not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fell until you Don't don't. It's like felling
Speaker 4: til you don't. No horse named Texas.
Speaker 6: But it's also it's just one of those things like
Speaker 6: like I love baseball.
Speaker 4: I love baseball. Hall of Fame hitter fill.
Speaker 6: Seventy percent of the time. So what do you It's
Speaker 6: like I tell my boys, you went over four? Were
Speaker 6: you gonna cry about it? Or we're gonna work on
Speaker 6: the next game? Like what what are you gonna do?
Speaker 6: I mean, if you have, you have to understand that's
Speaker 6: just part of that's just part of the process. And
Speaker 6: also why do you do it? Like if I'm doing
Speaker 6: this to have big hits and number one records and
Speaker 6: all that stuff, win awards, Like if that's if that's
Speaker 6: the reason I'm doing this, I'm gonna be disappointed at
Speaker 6: the end of the day. But like the Bridge says
Speaker 6: something like if I choke or wind up broke, god knows,
Speaker 6: I do it all over again, because if I wrote
Speaker 6: one song that saved a life, wouldn't that be worth
Speaker 6: it in the end?
Speaker 4: And that's why you do what you do. You're I
Speaker 4: get up on that stage.
Speaker 6: Those people have paid their hard earned dollar to come
Speaker 6: see a show, and my job is real simple, just
Speaker 6: to give them a good time.
Speaker 4: And that's what I do every night.
Speaker 6: If we played a show in Knoxville a couple of
Speaker 6: weeks ago, not gonna lie. When you see that you
Speaker 6: only pre sold eight percent of the tickets, you feel
Speaker 6: that like ugh feeling inside. But at some point you
Speaker 6: suck it up. You go out there and you give
Speaker 6: them the best you got and then you know the
Speaker 6: next night is a sellout, and that's easy.
Speaker 4: But it's you know, I don't know.
Speaker 6: It's I'm just in a really good place with my
Speaker 6: music right now, and it's exciting. And like I said, Jake,
Speaker 6: my boy is watching me. Man, he's watching me, and
Speaker 6: so I haven't I've got a lot to teach him.
Speaker 6: And also too, I'm not gonna I am fixing. I
Speaker 6: have some big moments because his old man's not gonna
Speaker 6: go down without a fight. I'm not gonna just start
Speaker 6: opening up for him out of nowhere like he's got.
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. It's like it's like getting
Speaker 6: out there and playing basketball with them. They're better than me,
Speaker 6: and I know that I think I may have pulled something,
Speaker 6: and pulled something right here. Can't let them show. I
Speaker 6: can't let them see that, you know, And I box
Speaker 6: them out a little harder get a little more aggressive,
Speaker 6: fight dirty. You can't let those boys beat you. You
Speaker 6: gotta the old man. It's the old man thing.
Speaker 8: I feel like you think you're dying. Dude, you're scaring me.
Speaker 8: You're like, I got five years and I'm out of here.
Speaker 8: Just say to me that you're not dying.
Speaker 4: I'm not dying. Okay, good, that's all I want to hear.
Speaker 4: Here's the deal. Okay, here's the deal. No, but he's
Speaker 4: acting like.
Speaker 6: I got five years and then they're gonna spread my
Speaker 6: ashes at sea.
Speaker 4: Here's the deal.
Speaker 6: I'll come back in five years and be like, Okay,
Speaker 6: that five year plan didn't work, but this year playing you,
Speaker 6: this next five year, this is the one.
Speaker 3: That's the one where you're opening for your son.
Speaker 6: That's the one where I'm opening for Jacos. I've got
Speaker 6: so much exposure. Just really glad we had that kid.
Speaker 6: Tell me about Pontiac what I think is interesting and
Speaker 6: I love it. You wrote the song by yourself? Yeah,
Speaker 6: so is that one of those you just grab a
Speaker 6: guitar at home. You really didn't have it set it?
Speaker 8: This is Can I do my romantic version of you
Speaker 8: writing this song and you tell me how wrong I will.
Speaker 8: Whenever people write songs by themselves, I feel like there's
Speaker 8: just some sort of inspiration that happens and they just
Speaker 8: pick up a guitar and it wasn't in the calendar
Speaker 8: for a RITE because they're not writing with somebody, and
Speaker 8: they're like, I have this idea, let me see how.
Speaker 8: And maybe you're even coming up with something for a
Speaker 8: RITE that you have coming up in the future, and
Speaker 8: you're like, oh man, this is just kind of falling
Speaker 8: out of me. And the next thing you know, you're like,
Speaker 8: I don't think I need anybody. This is everything exactly
Speaker 8: how I want to say it. Anybody else putting it
Speaker 8: on it would change how i'd say it. So I
Speaker 8: think I'm gonna record this as a work tape, and
Speaker 8: then eventually you fall in love with it so much
Speaker 8: you're like, I'm going to record this as a song
Speaker 8: and then it becomes a single. That's the romantic version
Speaker 8: of my head.
Speaker 4: That's very cool my whole life.
Speaker 6: When there's something going on in my world, like I
Speaker 6: will call my mom and I remember I was like, so, Mom,
Speaker 6: tell me, like Dad, if he did this and it
Speaker 6: upset you, what would like, like, what do I do?
Speaker 6: And so that's where that song came from. That came
Speaker 6: from me, I don't know, doing something stupid, upsetting my wife.
Speaker 6: Something's going on, and me just going to my mom
Speaker 6: and saying, hey, now there are a few you know,
Speaker 6: they say country music is like three three chords in
Speaker 6: the truth, So that song has like five chords.
Speaker 4: So and my mom drove a Monte carlo an occasional lie.
Speaker 3: Got it?
Speaker 4: Got it my chords and an occasional lie. I like it.
Speaker 4: The five chords and a fib.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 6: And I've never heard my mom cuss. And I actually
Speaker 6: called and my mom. She's such a wonderful lady, and
Speaker 6: she's so straight laced. Like I had to take down
Speaker 6: an Instagram post two nights ago because my mom didn't
Speaker 6: like it and it annoyed me so much. But that
Speaker 6: mama's boy inside of me.
Speaker 3: Went, fine, well what did you do?
Speaker 4: Well I did?
Speaker 6: I did an interview with my buddy and he asked me,
Speaker 6: what was the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me
Speaker 6: at my show? And I said, well, it's happened several times,
Speaker 6: but like having a lady breastfeeding her baby right in
Speaker 6: front of me, I was like, there was the cutest
Speaker 6: little baby baby boy you ever saw. And he's got
Speaker 6: on little headphones and he's breastfeeding right there as I'm
Speaker 6: singing honky Tonk songs. I was like, and the whole
Speaker 6: thing is I'm like, stare at the woman in her eyes,
Speaker 6: but I know something is going on down there, right,
Speaker 6: So we talked about it. So my wife when she
Speaker 6: was breastfeeding. It's a brand called hi to Hooter. It's
Speaker 6: actually that's what. It's just something that a woman will
Speaker 6: drape over herself. And so we jokingly were like, we
Speaker 6: need to get some Aaron Watson how to Hooters at
Speaker 6: the merchandise booth. So I made a funny post about it,
Speaker 6: and my mom literally commented on my post like I
Speaker 6: don't like this. I don't think this is appropriate. And
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, I was like mom. I was like, Mom,
Speaker 6: I'm just kidding. She goes, well, I just don't. She goes,
Speaker 6: I just don't think that's funny. She I just don't
Speaker 6: like that, and she was like I don't think And
Speaker 6: now I was like fine, and whatever her mom control
Speaker 6: that she has over me, I just went up to
Speaker 6: the little three dots at the top and delete and sorry.
Speaker 4: You know, merch coming know how to hooter? Merch is coming.
Speaker 4: So the song is about your mom.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's about leaning on her, you know, you know what,
Speaker 6: how did it? It's kind of the same question you
Speaker 6: asked me earlier, like how long have you been married?
Speaker 6: Like what's how did you get through that? Or how
Speaker 6: have you gotten this far? Like what's the secret? It's
Speaker 6: me leaning on my mom, like you know, And I
Speaker 6: think a lot about my granddad. My granddad was a
Speaker 6: great guy, but apparently he had a phase of his
Speaker 6: life where he was drinking, making a lot of bad decisions.
Speaker 6: And I think about my sweet grandmother that just somehow
Speaker 6: kept that family together. And I mean, I think, without
Speaker 6: a doubt you have to give credit to my grandmother
Speaker 6: for keeping that thing together. So it's it's talking to
Speaker 6: mom about like what did dad do? How did you
Speaker 6: do it? How did y'all do it? And so that's
Speaker 6: just kind of a special thing when you can take
Speaker 6: a memory a moment in your life and just kind
Speaker 6: of it's like a it's like a snapshot of that
Speaker 6: moment in a song.
Speaker 4: So that one's and it's also a song is fun
Speaker 4: to play live. It also got added by a ton
Speaker 4: of radio stations. Your five year plan is working. It's working. Yeah, congratulations,
Speaker 4: we're gonna play. We're gonna play. Thank your brother.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's good to see you. Horse Named Texas is
Speaker 8: out twenty six songs.
Speaker 7: You're proud of it.
Speaker 6: Say yes, say it, say yes, yes, yes. Don't say
Speaker 6: about a second thing you're writing now. But I think
Speaker 6: it's fair to say too. Since we've talked a lot
Speaker 6: about my wife and now she's been putting up with
Speaker 6: me for a long time. I think it's it's we
Speaker 6: need to be honest, that everyone needs to know that
Speaker 6: all the proceeds from the Horse Named Texas album goes
Speaker 6: straight into her purse.
Speaker 7: And the White Foundation. Yes, that's good.
Speaker 4: I get nothing.
Speaker 7: That's good.
Speaker 4: I like that. Good to see you again, man, dude.
Speaker 6: It's great to see you guys. Proud of y'all, and
Speaker 6: I love your new place. It's really cool. Thanks, thank you. Yeah,
Speaker 6: this is radio day won Radio They won. That was
Speaker 6: confusedly for a minute.
Speaker 8: Yes, all down the hill from here Aaron and music
Speaker 8: as Instagram is, I do also your TikTok.
Speaker 4: I follow you on TikTok, so I don't know what
Speaker 4: it is. Yeah, it's same thing, dude, I told you
Speaker 4: this last time. Your tiktoks are great. Thanks brother.
Speaker 8: Even do you ever get annoyed when they don't hit
Speaker 8: and you think it's really funny and or do you
Speaker 8: even look back to see if they hit.
Speaker 6: I think of it as I'm just throwing darts because
Speaker 6: I've posted stuff that I thought was stupid, Like like,
Speaker 6: I'll give you a quick example. I was holding this
Speaker 6: lady's baby at the rodeo in Vegas, and I'm holding
Speaker 6: this little boy and his pacifier pops out of his
Speaker 6: mouth and goes down into this crevice. And I reached
Speaker 6: down to get the pacifier and when I reached when
Speaker 6: I when I found it, there's literally a beer, a
Speaker 6: full beer next to it. So I pulled out a
Speaker 6: beer in a pacifier and I was like yes, and
Speaker 6: the mom video of that, I was like, oh, it's
Speaker 6: kind of funny. So I posted it and the thing
Speaker 6: had like thirty million views, and I'm like what. And
Speaker 6: then I'll post something good and it's like two hundred
Speaker 6: views and I'm like, oh, that sucks anyways, and I
Speaker 6: just I think about throwing darts.
Speaker 4: Maybe one will hit. I don't think much of it.
Speaker 6: I'm but but I want to be consistent with I
Speaker 6: got some I got some good ones coming up this
Speaker 6: next week.
Speaker 4: And he's like, the ones I've got today, go ahead,
Speaker 4: wait till you see the ones that are coming down
Speaker 4: a few weeks. Yes, you know, but you do good too.
Speaker 12: Man.
Speaker 4: Hey you're one yesterday. Oh yeah, popping. Look it's popping, bro,
Speaker 4: let's go.
Speaker 6: I'm calloused at this point with negative feedback. It doesn't
Speaker 6: bother me anymore. I've just had so much of it.
Speaker 6: I've got to grow with it. Do you know what
Speaker 6: I say to people, Like if somebody says something awful
Speaker 6: to me, I have two responses.
Speaker 4: It just shuts them down.
Speaker 6: Either I say you're not wrong, or I'll say you're
Speaker 6: not my mom. And I just posted on there and
Speaker 6: it's just like you you have they have nowhere to go.
Speaker 6: If you agree with them, they have nowhere to go.
Speaker 6: That just stops them dead in your And then like
Speaker 6: just telling someone you're not my.
Speaker 4: Mom just says it all. You're not my mom.
Speaker 6: You can't only my mom can make me take down
Speaker 6: a post and then say listen to Pontiac streaming now.
