Speaker 1: It's the best bit of the week.
Speaker 2: With Morgan Part two, she's breaking down the top seven
Speaker 2: segments from the Bobby Bone Show this week.
Speaker 3: What's up friends, Happy weekend, Thanks for joining the best
Speaker 3: bits We're gonna catch up on the Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 3: It was a short week because we of course all
Speaker 3: celebrated Memorial Day, so just four days to choose from
Speaker 3: this week of content, but still plenty to catch up on.
Speaker 3: Make sure you check out Part one and Part three
Speaker 3: this weekend with Scuba Steve or as I call him Scoobs.
Speaker 3: We talked about Live Dad Live. We did some Disney
Speaker 3: movies that he saw for the first time. So fun
Speaker 3: stuff on Part one and Part three is always the
Speaker 3: listener Q and A things you really want to know
Speaker 3: about Scuba Steve, so check those out. But if you're
Speaker 3: just here to listen and catch up on the Bobby
Speaker 3: Bone Show, then let's do this. Amy's daughter found something
Speaker 3: on the road and she's trying to decide if they
Speaker 3: should keep it. Crazy stuff happening, and it all has
Speaker 3: to do with a distribution system Number seven.
Speaker 4: This listener called us and there will be an update saying, Hey,
Speaker 4: am I getting scammed?
Speaker 1: Y'all?
Speaker 5: I pulled an amy, I think, and I think it's
Speaker 5: suffer a scam. I contacted a lady on Facebook to
Speaker 5: buy a specific type of bunny. The bunny was supposed
Speaker 5: to come today. Apparently the bunny was sent to the
Speaker 5: transit company. But now the transit company is asking me
Speaker 5: to pay all these refundable fees before the bunny can
Speaker 5: be transported. So I did talk to somebody on the phone,
Speaker 5: so I am, I don't know, just doing a play
Speaker 5: by play. I guess I can give you guys a
Speaker 5: call here in a couple hours and lets you know,
Speaker 5: so I have a bunch your numbers.
Speaker 4: Feels like she was getting scammed, but she did call
Speaker 4: us a couple hours later.
Speaker 5: Hey guys, it's me. I'm just calling with an update
Speaker 5: about the bunny rabbit scam. I spent an okay and
Speaker 5: after they sent me a picture for proof. I want
Speaker 5: to proof, so I asked them to send me a picture.
Speaker 5: They did send me a picture, and I don't think
Speaker 5: it's the same rabbit, So I'm pretty sure I'm being scammed.
Speaker 5: My rabbit says that is in transit now.
Speaker 4: So I guess who you will.
Speaker 5: I'll call back later and let you know if I
Speaker 5: have a cute little bunny, or if I'm negative four
Speaker 5: hundred dollars out of my account when you.
Speaker 4: Got that picture and it wasn't the same bunny, that's
Speaker 4: bad news. I wish we'd have heard the voicemail of time,
Speaker 4: because we just said, don't pay any more money. So
Speaker 4: that's where we left it. Now we do have the
Speaker 4: final update. She called us back. Here we go.
Speaker 6: I'm calling.
Speaker 5: This is my third call about a possible scam. I
Speaker 5: ordered a rabbit online.
Speaker 4: It was supposed to be delivered.
Speaker 5: I paid the seller and then had to pay additional
Speaker 5: shipping costs and then additional shipping cuffs again, and I
Speaker 5: refused to pay. Then the third additional shipping costs that
Speaker 5: they were requiring before they started threatening to take the
Speaker 5: rabbit to an abandonment shelter and telling me that I
Speaker 5: will be charged and responsible for abandoning the rabbit. So
Speaker 5: I haven't scammed. I can't really do anything, just want
Speaker 5: to give you all call. Hopefully let's helped somebody else.
Speaker 4: So she was scammed. There's no abandonment, there's no rabbit.
Speaker 4: No what a guilt trip, there's no Yeah, we're going
Speaker 4: to kill the rabbit right now, slice the rabbit's throat.
Speaker 4: If you don't, it's crazy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh, like I want to prove. So they set
Speaker 7: a picture, so I paid them again and.
Speaker 6: Then she's like, it doesn't look like the same, But then.
Speaker 8: I paid them for shipping and then extra shipping.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 4: When people are asking for money up front, that's problematic,
Speaker 4: especially when they ask for more. If there's a deposit, normal,
Speaker 4: that's yeah, I know you almost got got Did you
Speaker 4: do have a new cat? I saw?
Speaker 10: Well, we're taking care of a kitten that my daughter
Speaker 10: found on the side of the road.
Speaker 4: But what's the kitten delivery system you're talking about?
Speaker 6: Oh, cat distribution system.
Speaker 10: Well, once I posted about it, all these comments from
Speaker 10: listeners are like, oh, you should keep the cat. The
Speaker 10: cat distribution system has chosen you. And so I googled
Speaker 10: it and it's just this. You know, it's a thing
Speaker 10: people say online of like when the universe has spoken
Speaker 10: or God has given you a kitten. So when you're
Speaker 10: given a kitten, you keep the kitten. And it's called
Speaker 10: the cat distribution system.
Speaker 4: So you're keeping the kitten. Well, so where did you
Speaker 4: find it? Talking about it?
Speaker 10: So she was driving down the road and it was
Speaker 10: about I mean, it was dark out, and she like
Speaker 10: had to swerve a little bit because it's on the
Speaker 10: side of the road, but like about to walk into
Speaker 10: the road, but it can barely walk, like it's a
Speaker 10: new kitten.
Speaker 6: And so she's like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 10: So she pulled over to see if it was okay,
Speaker 10: and then she looked around and she didn't like see
Speaker 10: any other cats or a mama cat. She kind of looked,
Speaker 10: but again it was dark. So she scooped it up
Speaker 10: and you know, called me and she's like, mom, and
Speaker 10: then she was cutting out a little bit.
Speaker 6: She's like, you'll see when I get there.
Speaker 10: And she walks in and she's like, has this cat
Speaker 10: cradled up in her dress?
Speaker 6: And I'm like, oh gosh.
Speaker 4: From up above, I think, okay, so follow me here.
Speaker 4: What if we called this caller and say, hey, we
Speaker 4: don't have a rabbit for you, but we have a
Speaker 4: kitty cat, because a cat distribution system is you didn't
Speaker 4: get a rabbit, we have a cat. Yeah, And all
Speaker 4: she has to pay is.
Speaker 1: A paying money for things. It's the best bits of
Speaker 1: the week with Morgan.
Speaker 3: Number two, Eddie got accused of being a Helicopter Parent
Speaker 3: again because he brought a question to the show asking
Speaker 3: if he should allow his seventeen year old son to
Speaker 3: go to a concert with his friends and no parental
Speaker 3: supervision whatsoever.
Speaker 11: And he's not.
Speaker 3: Sure what he's going to do, but the show had
Speaker 3: a lot of takes on what he should allowed to happen.
Speaker 4: Number six, Eddie's debating letting his seventeen year old son
Speaker 4: go to a concert alone. Now does it matter what
Speaker 4: the concert is or is it just general?
Speaker 12: I mean no, it doesn't matter. I think it's pretty,
Speaker 12: it could be cold played, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: He just wants to colplate. Do you mean safe? That's
Speaker 4: the safest show to go to?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 4: I think more just adults would go to that. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 4: so he's seventeen, Uh huh do you want to say
Speaker 4: the show?
Speaker 12: Sure, it's the weekend. Okay, the weekend's coming to town
Speaker 12: and he wants to go with his buddies and he's
Speaker 12: the last concert he went to. I took him because
Speaker 12: Kendrick Lamar him and I went and I felt it
Speaker 12: was him and I We had a really good time
Speaker 12: and it was whatever. Now he's like, Dad, I really
Speaker 12: want to go with my buddies, just like me and
Speaker 12: four friends.
Speaker 4: And I go, why would you Okay, let's do both.
Speaker 4: Why would you say yes? Give me a reason for both?
Speaker 12: Because he loves music and he'd have a good time
Speaker 12: and he I mean, I think he likes concerts, so yeah,
Speaker 12: it'd be great for him to go to a concert.
Speaker 4: Do you trust him absolutely? Why would you say no?
Speaker 12: Because he's going with buddies, Like I feel like four
Speaker 12: friends alone at a concert you're talking about like, hey,
Speaker 12: let's try to buy beer, Hey, let's try to will
Speaker 12: vape in there, you know whatever, Like I think with
Speaker 12: him and four buddies alone in a concert environment where
Speaker 12: people are definitely doing other things, other subs.
Speaker 4: Do you think what's happening at a concert in your mind?
Speaker 6: And do they have to have a night?
Speaker 1: You may?
Speaker 4: What do you mean you've been to a concert? You
Speaker 4: smell it? Bro I was seventeen. I had no roles,
Speaker 4: know so, but I also didn't do anything wrong. But seven,
Speaker 4: I think seventeen Eddie seventeen is everybody else's fourteen.
Speaker 12: And then he's gonna drive, He's got to park and
Speaker 12: do all that. I don't know, man, he's seventeen, the
Speaker 12: driving and parking like.
Speaker 10: That with them.
Speaker 6: Why don't you let him go but you drop him
Speaker 6: off because that'd be nice.
Speaker 1: Seventeen No way, my dad's dropping me off.
Speaker 5: Like that.
Speaker 6: No, seventeen years old parking?
Speaker 10: Okay first, okay, Eddie, you definitely need to let him
Speaker 10: go to the concert like it's the weekend.
Speaker 6: He's popular amongst the teens and.
Speaker 4: The dults like nothing, I think, regardless of the artist.
Speaker 4: It could be player Chris Tomlin, Chris Tomlin, friends of that.
Speaker 6: Hey, I bet some people do a little smoky smoke.
Speaker 4: There, Chris Tomlin.
Speaker 8: I bet not.
Speaker 4: The last time Tom latch jow with Easter, nobody was
Speaker 4: smoky saking. So he's seventeen, yeah, man, yeah, seventeen. When
Speaker 4: does he turn eighteen? What month? Anyway? So he's almost able.
Speaker 6: To vote and serve our country.
Speaker 4: Yet you're considering not letting him go by himself to
Speaker 4: a concert. Now, I will say this a little astisk
Speaker 4: on the side. You're his dad, you know more about him,
Speaker 4: you know, you know we don't, but I kind of know.
Speaker 4: Eventually you got to cut the cord and he didn't
Speaker 4: come out of your womb in your cording him.
Speaker 12: It felt good when I went to a show with him,
Speaker 12: you know, and him and I just there and I
Speaker 12: see other kids with just their friends who their parents
Speaker 12: probably just drop them off and they're doing stuff.
Speaker 4: But isn't part of life doing stuff and figuring out
Speaker 4: what stuff that you can do you should do? You
Speaker 4: shouldn't do it like that's gonna happen regardless. Do you
Speaker 4: want it to happen when he's seventeen like now, or
Speaker 4: do you want them to wait until they can go
Speaker 4: absolutely out? Then you go even harder the longer you're
Speaker 4: held back from it, when you're exposed to it. Why
Speaker 4: do you think in America we have such an alcohol
Speaker 4: problem because we don't allow it in any capacity until
Speaker 4: twenty one. Legally you have to sneak it or then
Speaker 4: when it's time to go. If you never had it,
Speaker 4: you go crazy. In other countries that have near the
Speaker 4: alcoholism rate, you know why, because it's not a big
Speaker 4: deal at twelve years old, they have a little drink
Speaker 4: at dinner.
Speaker 1: Well in Europe for sure, absolutely.
Speaker 4: So that's the situation here is if you keep holding him,
Speaker 4: he's going to go even harder. It's like a homeschool
Speaker 4: kid goes to college. Yeah, they go crazy, go eight
Speaker 4: so you should let him go. Eventually you have to
Speaker 4: let him go. Or when he's eighteen, he just goes.
Speaker 6: Do you talk to him about drinking and vaping? What
Speaker 6: do you say?
Speaker 12: I just say, hey, I just want to make sure
Speaker 12: you're not hanging out your friends, like you're not doing
Speaker 12: anything like that, right, because.
Speaker 6: It's but what if you were to like, how do
Speaker 6: you say?
Speaker 10: And if you did and you came to me and
Speaker 10: said this, what do you have to do any of that?
Speaker 10: Or if you're ever in a situation call me no
Speaker 10: questions asked?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've done that too, But do you do no
Speaker 4: questions asked?
Speaker 13: No?
Speaker 4: Okay, we asked at some questions, you will be interrogated.
Speaker 1: And I don't even hate that. I don't even hate that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't even know if this is about.
Speaker 4: Vaping or drinking. I mean that's all it is, really
Speaker 4: because it's not the cont The show's fine. You're just
Speaker 4: wondering what he'll do with friends when you're got around.
Speaker 12: I mean, you have four buddies. That's when everyone says like,
Speaker 12: come on, let's do it, let's do let's go do that.
Speaker 6: Okay, so if he's going with two would be okay.
Speaker 4: Well maybe two is just I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4: The whole thing just makes me a little naked. And
Speaker 4: it should because this is your son. It's my first time. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you should. I'm glad. I'm glad. You're nervous. It means
Speaker 4: you care. We only get nervous about things that are
Speaker 4: are important to us. I think he's seventeen. If he's
Speaker 4: been in a positive state, school's being good, his actions
Speaker 4: have been good. Of course, you let him out. Let him,
Speaker 4: give him some rope, see what he does with it. Okay,
Speaker 4: let him go, amy, Yeah, let him go watch box.
Speaker 1: Let him go.
Speaker 7: Dude, it sounds like you're worried you're getting left behind.
Speaker 7: You're like, oh, I went to the concert with him.
Speaker 7: I don't want him to go with his buddies. He's
Speaker 7: gonna have fun without me. That's what you're worried about.
Speaker 8: Let the kid go. He's seventeen years old. You sound
Speaker 8: like a loser.
Speaker 4: Okay, drop him off?
Speaker 1: No, no, he d gosh, no, Hey.
Speaker 6: Who are the parents of teenagers? Here?
Speaker 1: Me and Eddie?
Speaker 6: Eddie, you could offer If he says.
Speaker 4: No, we're going to tell you guys, you're losers.
Speaker 6: I'm not a loser.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: If you're taking your eighteen year old seventeen year old
Speaker 4: and going, I must drop you off or you can't go.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 10: No, I didn't say to say that, but I say
Speaker 10: he could offer, because I think if I were to offer,
Speaker 10: if my daughter was going with some of her girlfriends
Speaker 10: and I offered to drop them off and pick them
Speaker 10: up so they didn't have to mess with parking and
Speaker 10: downtown stuff, she'd probably be like, oh, yeah, that'd be awesome.
Speaker 4: If it's offered as a hey, instead of you guys
Speaker 4: having to dribe.
Speaker 6: That's what I think.
Speaker 4: That's not what he's doing, and I would I would
Speaker 4: make it fun too. You're doing it's different than what
Speaker 4: he's proposing. He wants to do it to have an
Speaker 4: extra eye at the latest time possible.
Speaker 10: We get a little bit of both, but just present
Speaker 10: it as casual, laid back, and then you get the
Speaker 10: benefits of having the extra.
Speaker 8: When they get out of the car and everybody gets
Speaker 8: the wall, let me.
Speaker 4: Check what you're carrying with you, and then when they
Speaker 4: come back, he's in a breathalyzer. I'll definitely do the
Speaker 4: smell test.
Speaker 13: Let him.
Speaker 4: Okay, let him go, and when he comes back, though,
Speaker 4: give him a curfew, and when he comes back, see
Speaker 4: what's up be waiting for him. Okay, but I think
Speaker 4: you should let him. I love it. Like I'm not
Speaker 4: asking my wife. I'm asking you guys. I'm sure you
Speaker 4: and your wife will have this talk. And what does
Speaker 4: she think? We haven't talked about it yet. Oh my god,
Speaker 4: really bringing it to you guys first.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 4: And I'm the perfect person to ask for one because
Speaker 4: I have no kids and I had no rules growing
Speaker 4: up at all. I'm the worst. Okay, good luck. Let
Speaker 4: us know how it goes.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 14: Number two, Lunchbox got upset with me this week. I mean,
Speaker 14: what's new? No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3: But he did concept because I got to be on
Speaker 3: the news and he didn't. But he could have been
Speaker 3: had this particular place asked him, but they didn't, and
Speaker 3: we shared some clips from the news segment and he
Speaker 3: thought I did horrible.
Speaker 4: Number five, So Morgan came in late the other day
Speaker 4: to work, and I just want everybody to know why
Speaker 4: Morgan came in late. Was not a massive deal to
Speaker 4: me because I said that she could do it, but
Speaker 4: Morgan went and didn't. The News wanted to talk to Morgan.
Speaker 4: I know who's going to be sensitive about this? What
Speaker 4: the news about?
Speaker 8: What? What could the news want Morgan.
Speaker 4: For the News had reached out to Morgan to ask
Speaker 4: her to come on camera and talk about something specific.
Speaker 4: So that's what's up. I wanted to wait till the
Speaker 4: show to reveal it because a couple people were like, hey,
Speaker 4: Morgan was late. She wasn't late. She told me what
Speaker 4: she was going to do. She had to go be
Speaker 4: on TV. Morgan, do you want to say what you
Speaker 4: were doing? Or do you want to leave it and
Speaker 4: let us sleeping dog lie as they.
Speaker 14: Say, well, what would you like me to do?
Speaker 1: I love you.
Speaker 4: I would love you to say it. I would love
Speaker 4: you to say exactly what you're doing?
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, Folds of Honor invited me to go talk
Speaker 3: about the celebrity softball game.
Speaker 8: Are you freaking kidding me?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 4: For those out there, are you serious?
Speaker 7: Year after year I just get slided in this softball game.
Speaker 8: I do not understand this.
Speaker 1: So Folds of a are a great organization.
Speaker 4: They put on a charity softball game with celebrities and
Speaker 4: lunchboxes complaining about a couple of weeks ago because you
Speaker 4: got them. But I guess he got invited later than
Speaker 4: everybody else. And they want to talk to Morgan about
Speaker 4: playing in.
Speaker 7: It seems very weird. If they want a big celebrity,
Speaker 7: why would they ask Morgan? Like they want the most views,
Speaker 7: they want the most people's eyeballs.
Speaker 8: Morgan is not the one you would want.
Speaker 3: I mean, I do look a little bit prettier than
Speaker 3: you on camera, so maybe that's why.
Speaker 4: And she does speak well about it, and I think
Speaker 4: mostly that's what they want, someone who can speak well
Speaker 4: about the organization. Hey, what's Folds of Wonder to do,
Speaker 4: lunch bark.
Speaker 7: Oh, they give scholarships to people, women and soldiers that
Speaker 7: have lost their lives in battle. Soldiers, Yeah, are you
Speaker 7: talking about I do.
Speaker 8: It's not funny. It's not funny.
Speaker 7: It's not funny. They're just making enough parents. They gave
Speaker 7: the ultimate sacrifice serving our country. They give them scholarships
Speaker 7: to further their education.
Speaker 14: They're just all soldiers though, lunchbocks.
Speaker 8: No, they're gonna be first responders.
Speaker 4: Yeah soh yes, So we work with Folds of Honor
Speaker 4: and they do work with if the parents have passed
Speaker 4: away or died in war or died, they do make
Speaker 4: sure the kids are taking care of it. The family's
Speaker 4: taking care of it, which is how you said it.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine a camera going in he goes.
Speaker 8: So, But that's just it's was there another celebrity there?
Speaker 3: There was somebody from fulls of Honor that went with me, Well,
Speaker 3: what a waste of a segment.
Speaker 14: That's what you think?
Speaker 1: But I did great, I'm sure they did.
Speaker 4: How much does that upset you wanted? Ten scale?
Speaker 8: Probably ten?
Speaker 7: I mean, it's just like they had to go to
Speaker 7: the lowest fruit on the totem pole. They're like, lunch
Speaker 7: won't be the.
Speaker 4: Lowest fruit on the total hole. Not a saying emerged too,
Speaker 4: It's not saying that's like women as soldiers.
Speaker 1: Lowest fruit on the totem pole is not a saying he.
Speaker 4: Low hanging fruit and then highest on the lowest.
Speaker 8: Yes, the same different, No, it's not. But that's what
Speaker 8: do you ever think?
Speaker 1: That's why people don't have to the say stuff.
Speaker 8: Here's the thing. If you don't invent sayings, then they
Speaker 8: never get made.
Speaker 4: Like if you just saying you did you took to
Speaker 4: and smash it together because you don't know how to
Speaker 4: say the one.
Speaker 8: It's kind. But it's like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 7: You used to have toast with peanut butter and oh
Speaker 7: you and someone finally said, you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 7: put those together and they made an amazing sandwich.
Speaker 8: So maybe I just made an amazing saying.
Speaker 4: So why is our fruit on a totem pole? So
Speaker 4: what does that make sense?
Speaker 7: Though there's not a lot of things that make sense,
Speaker 7: these sayings don't make sense.
Speaker 4: Lowest low hanging fruit. Yes, it makes sense because it's
Speaker 4: very easy to get. That's why that's called like ooh, no,
Speaker 4: need to go for the low hanging fruit. Like if
Speaker 4: I were to. My wife gives me crabs some times
Speaker 4: about jokes. Alright, she goes, you're going to low hanging fruit.
Speaker 4: That's the easy one. Don't make work harder on the joke.
Speaker 4: So that's low hanging fruit. So that's why that exists.
Speaker 4: It's very so easy that anybody can get it. Now,
Speaker 4: totem pole, you've seen them, right, yeah, I've seen them
Speaker 4: like heads. So highest on the total pole, highest ranking,
Speaker 4: lowest on ton of pole, lowest ranking. Okay, that's what
Speaker 4: that would mean. Both of those have reasons that they exist,
Speaker 4: those sayings. Okay, fruit on a totem pole. They don't
Speaker 4: have fruit on tone poles.
Speaker 8: Maybe have you seen all the totem poles in the world.
Speaker 1: I have not.
Speaker 4: You got me?
Speaker 1: There you go, dang it.
Speaker 4: I didn't expect to be gotten today. Yeah, we can
Speaker 4: play Morgan's thing.
Speaker 8: We don't really need to.
Speaker 4: I'd like to hear it every tomorrow. Yeah, the next day,
Speaker 4: maybe at any time. I'll just play it out of nowhere.
Speaker 4: That's amazing.
Speaker 3: And you know what, it aired almost immediately after we
Speaker 3: did the interview, so there was no delay. There was
Speaker 3: no like waiting on it, you know, when he was
Speaker 3: on and we didn't know if it was going to air.
Speaker 4: No, we knew it was gonna We waded away forever
Speaker 4: for years. And they cut like eighty percent of it
Speaker 4: out on the news. No they didn't show you playing,
Speaker 4: Yeah they did.
Speaker 8: They gave me like three minutes of airtime.
Speaker 4: Do we want to make a bet on that? But
Speaker 4: on the three minutes of airtime? Yeah, because I think
Speaker 4: the whole story was three minutes.
Speaker 8: The whole story was three minutes. I think so it
Speaker 8: wasn't me the whole time.
Speaker 4: But how much how much over under you on camera
Speaker 4: in that new story.
Speaker 8: Ooh, that's a good question.
Speaker 4: You said three minutes I carried the one. You go ahead.
Speaker 12: Now there's money involved, probably forty five seconds exactly.
Speaker 4: I'd still go under. But yeah, different Morgan. Great job,
Speaker 4: you're promoting a great organization, women and soldiers.
Speaker 14: That's you know. I'm going to try think that in
Speaker 14: the I mean, they got.
Speaker 7: Someone that couldn't even hit a home runs like I mean,
Speaker 7: they want someone that could hit the softball. They would
Speaker 7: get me. We saw the home run derby, right, Yeah,
Speaker 7: maybe they missed that they wanted and like I said,
Speaker 7: one of the worst players in the game. Hey come Marcher,
Speaker 7: you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It was more about the organization than her celebrity factor
Speaker 4: than you.
Speaker 3: I think they also knew I'd put the organization first
Speaker 3: and it wouldn't be about me.
Speaker 7: I mean, I have a Folds Honor shirt I wear
Speaker 7: sometimes in public, Folds Oh Honor.
Speaker 8: You want to check the tape I set up.
Speaker 1: It's the best Bits of the Week with Morgan.
Speaker 14: Number two, Gavin Adcock stopped by the show.
Speaker 3: It was his first time in the studio and it
Speaker 3: was fun to hear about him in the rise of
Speaker 3: his career and all things that are happening right now.
Speaker 3: And not to mention, we found an old DM from
Speaker 3: him that he messages the show back in I think
Speaker 3: it was twenty twenty one asking us to play a song,
Speaker 3: so very full circle moment hearing this whole interview happened,
Speaker 3: but I didn't see that DM till after he was
Speaker 3: out of our studio, so we didn't addressed it with him.
Speaker 3: But really crazy think about this has happened also with
Speaker 3: Jackson Dean as well.
Speaker 14: Guys.
Speaker 3: There's so many dms that come in and I try
Speaker 3: to keep up with them all the time, but kind
Speaker 3: of hard, so there's some that gets missed, and it
Speaker 3: just so happened that I missed Jackson Dene and Gavin Adcock,
Speaker 3: but he did come in studio and got to talk
Speaker 3: all about it, so it was fun to hear from
Speaker 3: him and see what he's up.
Speaker 14: To right now.
Speaker 1: Number four so Bobby Bones Show Interviews. In case you
Speaker 1: didn't know.
Speaker 4: I'm about to talk to Gavin Adcock, who got famous
Speaker 4: four or five years ago, not for music, but he
Speaker 4: played on the Georgia Southern football team and he was
Speaker 4: on the team bus and we're driving off to a game.
Speaker 4: He's on top of the bus. They throw him a beer.
Speaker 4: He chugs the beer on the bus in his jersey,
Speaker 4: got kicked off the team. I remember him going viral
Speaker 4: for that, and now he's a big star. There we
Speaker 4: go on the Bobby Bones Show now, Gavin Adcock, Gavin,
Speaker 4: good to see you, buddy.
Speaker 13: Good to see you too, Bob.
Speaker 4: It's rare that the first time I meet an artist
Speaker 4: is with their parents. That's what happened with us.
Speaker 13: Yeah, in the lobby the hotel, they seem.
Speaker 4: I walked into the lobby and Gavin's there. Gavin, you
Speaker 4: were fully you know, show attire like you went hard,
Speaker 4: and your parents as normal as can be, look like
Speaker 4: they adopted like some rowdy kid off the side of
Speaker 4: the road. It is awesome.
Speaker 13: Yeah, they I flew them out of the ACM's and
Speaker 13: my show closes keep getting elevated every time, a little
Speaker 13: bit more crazy.
Speaker 4: I saw a headline because you just did two sold
Speaker 4: Ice shows here in Nashville, and I don't know he
Speaker 4: as a person yet, but the headline was booze filled
Speaker 4: rave Gavin Adcock and I was like, what's he doing
Speaker 4: in his shows? So why would they write a headline
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 13: I think it's just because everybody gets so involved in
Speaker 13: the music during the show. When you come, it's they're
Speaker 13: singing every word. Every song doesn't matter if it wasn't
Speaker 13: necessarily a hit three years ago when I let it out,
Speaker 13: it's a hit to them, and I see people just
Speaker 13: lose their self in the song and just throw an
Speaker 13: empty cup and just get him, just have a out
Speaker 13: of body experience on some of these songs.
Speaker 4: We had some PBR guys in a few days ago,
Speaker 4: and you know, these guys are doing bull riding a
Speaker 4: bunch of bear back. But that was kind of like
Speaker 4: a dream of years early on, right.
Speaker 13: Yeah, When I was a little kid, I was working
Speaker 13: feeding cows with my daddy on the farm and we
Speaker 13: watched bull riding together on the weekends. I'd sit with
Speaker 13: him in his chair and I wanted to be a
Speaker 13: bull rider, and he broke me into that while he
Speaker 13: showed me the movie eight Seconds when Laane Frost died,
Speaker 13: and I was like, you know what, I don't know
Speaker 13: about that.
Speaker 4: You just spoiled it for everybody. I hadn't seen that
Speaker 4: movie yet.
Speaker 13: Well, I'm sorry. Sorry, it's been out for thirty something
Speaker 13: years plus, So you're good, you're behind now.
Speaker 4: I'm not an athlete like you were. I got like
Speaker 4: broken fingers and stuff. My bones hurt like a day
Speaker 4: like today. That's like your knee kill you.
Speaker 13: It does. The weather really tightens up my knee. I
Speaker 13: tore it up and really started my career with my
Speaker 13: knee injury because I'm not in side person. I'm an
Speaker 13: outdoors kind of guy, and I was stuck in the house.
Speaker 13: So I I coped with that by writing music, and
Speaker 13: I just fell in love with it.
Speaker 4: What did you do with your knee? What was the injury?
Speaker 13: I tore my patella meniscus and had two fractures, one
Speaker 13: in the one in the famer and one at the
Speaker 13: bottom of my knee.
Speaker 4: Was that Did you do it playing football?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Your freshman year.
Speaker 13: No, it was my senior year actually, going into my
Speaker 13: last season.
Speaker 4: Oh you played how many years did you play football?
Speaker 13: Four and a half?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Because I was looking at some of your stats and
Speaker 4: you had starts like you were actually an actual player.
Speaker 4: Did you start on the offensive line or did you
Speaker 4: play defensive.
Speaker 13: I played d line, nose guard.
Speaker 4: What'd you play in high school?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 13: D end and offensive guard both sides? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Small school?
Speaker 13: Or did you just Division like or not Division but three?
Speaker 13: A sound but pretty We were four by the time
Speaker 13: I got out of there.
Speaker 4: What was recruiting like for you in high school?
Speaker 13: Not very good?
Speaker 4: You didn't have a bunch of letters, a bunch offers.
Speaker 13: Nah, just some smaller schools like Division two and different stuff.
Speaker 13: But I just figured if I wanted to go, I
Speaker 13: wanted to go as big as I could. So I
Speaker 13: asked my head coach, I said, do you know anybody
Speaker 13: down at Georgia Southern, because a few of my friends
Speaker 13: were going down there, and he said, yeah, I coached
Speaker 13: with a guy for a little while that is coaching
Speaker 13: down at Georgia Southern. I went down there and was
Speaker 13: a preferred walk on a couple of years, started playing
Speaker 13: and got a scholarship.
Speaker 4: So did they do the whole thing where it's like,
Speaker 4: all right, everybody in you don't know the scholarship's coming,
Speaker 4: and they're like, coach, who's good news scholarship?
Speaker 13: Gavin? Yeah, yeah, it was right for our bowl game
Speaker 13: that we played. They did it in the team meeting.
Speaker 4: Did you not know what was coming? I had a.
Speaker 13: Feeling, but I didn't know, so they got me.
Speaker 4: Sounds like my wife and I proposed. I mean she
Speaker 4: asked like she didn't know it was coming, but she
Speaker 4: but she did kind of. So what was going up
Speaker 4: in your hometown?
Speaker 5: Like? Was it?
Speaker 4: Is it Watkinsville? Is that was calling?
Speaker 13: Yes? It was a small town when I was little,
Speaker 13: And we're probably like an hour from Atlanta east hour
Speaker 13: and twenty and as Athens has moved west and Atlanta
Speaker 13: has moved east, it's turned into a bigger city than
Speaker 13: I enjoyed it when I was a little kid. It
Speaker 13: was a I grew up on a cattle farm and
Speaker 13: working with my daddy and going to stockyards and different stuff.
Speaker 13: And it was a pretty country heavy community. A lot
Speaker 13: of country music in the town, and uh, everybody just
Speaker 13: loved listening to the radio.
Speaker 4: What was the first concert you went to Tim McGraw
Speaker 4: at in Atlanta?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 13: I think it was called Aaron's Amphitheater at the time,
Speaker 13: but I think it's Lakewood now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a what do you remember about that show?
Speaker 13: He come out with high energy right off the bat
Speaker 13: and stirred everybody up and it was just a party,
Speaker 13: and it was it was about the time he had
Speaker 13: let out uh like cowboy and mean and uh live
Speaker 13: like you were dying.
Speaker 4: When, how ever, you decided you weren't going to play
Speaker 4: sports anymore. Had you already been dabbling music like as
Speaker 4: far as like learning how to play guitar? Or is
Speaker 4: that why you went and got a guitar because you
Speaker 4: felt like you needed to put that energy into something.
Speaker 13: Well, I got a guitar when I was sixteen, and
Speaker 13: I didn't learn how to play it or attempt to
Speaker 13: play it until I was twenty two. The Sunday before
Speaker 13: I tore up my knee. On that Tuesday, I hit
Speaker 13: up a guy from my hometown that I went to
Speaker 13: high school with and said, what are you doing this week?
Speaker 13: He said, not much? What are you up to? I said,
Speaker 13: I'm down here at Georgia Southen you want to come
Speaker 13: play guitar?
Speaker 4: And this is before you hurt your knee?
Speaker 13: Yes, this is before I hurt my knee Tuesday tore
Speaker 13: up my knee. He come down Wednesday, played a handful
Speaker 13: of songs and just took off running right there.
Speaker 4: How'd you start writing songs?
Speaker 15: You do it?
Speaker 4: By yourself, just in a room.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I just would find a tempo and find a
Speaker 13: melody because I wasn't very good at guitar at the
Speaker 13: at the time when I started, and I'm still working
Speaker 13: on it and still learning every day, but I just
Speaker 13: write with him, find a beat, find a melody, a whistle,
Speaker 13: a home and just right from there.
Speaker 4: What was the first song that you could play and
Speaker 4: sing at the same time. What was the first song
Speaker 4: you learned where you do both?
Speaker 13: What was the first song? Was called Going Gone? It
Speaker 13: was a it was a get to walk down to
Speaker 13: the e minor see and slide it over and uh,
Speaker 13: it was one of the biggest songs I ever had
Speaker 13: when I started out in my first year.
Speaker 4: Wait, what about that you learned that you didn't write?
Speaker 9: Like?
Speaker 4: Was that? Was that the first song you learned? You
Speaker 4: wrote the first song you ever learned? See? That would
Speaker 4: be like next level?
Speaker 13: Oh no, no, like first.
Speaker 4: Like the first Yeah, the first song you ever picked
Speaker 4: up a guitar like, and you were like, oh I
Speaker 4: can because it was hard to sing and play at
Speaker 4: the same time at first, I.
Speaker 13: Was, Uh, I played when you say nothing at all
Speaker 13: like Keith Whitley, and it's just KO two D A
Speaker 13: minor G A min the heck yeah, And that was
Speaker 13: the first one. And then I learned uh Troubadour by
Speaker 13: George Straight. And then there's a bunch of Hank songs
Speaker 13: I can play because he plays about like me, just
Speaker 13: G C and D. Dude.
Speaker 4: People think you're older than you are.

Speaker 13: when I was in high school. You in college? Are
Speaker 13: you graduate from college? I'm like, no, I'm seventeen, but yeah,
Speaker 13: I think people think I'm twenty six right now. I'll
Speaker 13: be twenty seven in October.
Speaker 4: But first time you ever got paid to play music?
Speaker 4: Where was it?
Speaker 13: Statesburg, Georgia. I hit up the main bar there. I
Speaker 13: was a couple of months into playing, had one song out.
Speaker 13: Hit up the main bar. They said I could play
Speaker 13: for free drinks and I was like, no, I've kind
Speaker 13: of got a little bit of a following. It ain't much,
Speaker 13: but around here I got a following. So I went
Speaker 13: to their bar, which is their competition, and told them
Speaker 13: and they were like, yeah, we'll pay you three hundred
Speaker 13: bucks come out here and sing on Sylver this week
Speaker 13: on Tuesday night. And I was like hell, yeah, we're coming.
Speaker 13: And we went out there. We killed it. The bar
Speaker 13: was packed full, and the owner come up to me
Speaker 13: and he gave me five hundred bucks instead of three
Speaker 13: and said it was great tonight. So I was like,
Speaker 13: I like this.
Speaker 4: At the other bar, they were just sol because they
Speaker 4: only were to pay you drinks.
Speaker 13: Yeah, they hit me up the next day and was like,
Speaker 13: we gotta get you come play. I was like, well, dang,
Speaker 13: I hate I had to go over here to get
Speaker 13: you to hit me up. But I guess that's how
Speaker 13: it works sometimes.
Speaker 4: What about your parents, what do they think about all this?
Speaker 4: Because it's it's it's exploded for you.
Speaker 13: They're really excited for me, and they're they're they're great.
Speaker 13: They've supported me the whole time, never never told me
Speaker 13: to not chase my dreams or been like I don't
Speaker 13: know about that, yeah, but it's gonna be really hard,
Speaker 13: or they've they've just always been very confident in me.
Speaker 13: And my mama just worries. She wants me to stay me.
Speaker 13: That's what she always says. She's just always worried that
Speaker 13: money in the road and me and everybody it would
Speaker 13: change who I am, and I'm I'm pretty confident that
Speaker 13: it's not going to but she just worries about that.
Speaker 13: A good bit.
Speaker 4: You get about a year and a half to be
Speaker 4: out of your mind, and then you got to get
Speaker 4: back because if you don't get out of your mind,
Speaker 4: I don't want you go out of your mind. You
Speaker 4: got it like a year and a half, two years
Speaker 4: kind of good, and then you kind of realize I
Speaker 4: had the saint for me. It's if you go two
Speaker 4: and a half years out of your mind, then you
Speaker 4: kind of stay that version. I'll talk to her if
Speaker 4: you need to. Yeah, I mean like he's good. You
Speaker 4: got good people around you too.

Speaker 13: Yeah, no doubt. I've I've just bought my first place

Speaker 13: it's already bought.

Speaker 13: throw a hat on in the mornings after a shower.
Speaker 4: Have you always had the kind of long hair once

Speaker 4: Come on, great jobs, dude, that's oftimey. That's how he
Speaker 4: started already, good came out of the wound good. I
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna ask you about a couple of year
Speaker 4: songs here we're about to play Never Call Again, and
Speaker 4: I was looking at a lot of the songs that
Speaker 4: you've written. Tell me about this song, like where to
Speaker 4: Come From? Who you walk into a room with the
Speaker 4: idea where to come from?
Speaker 13: I'll come up with the guitar. A few days before
Speaker 13: the ride and I had these young group of writers
Speaker 13: that I had been written with separately in town and
Speaker 13: it just felt felt good for the group of people.
Speaker 13: I was bringing it into Colton Venner, Joy, Beth Taylor
Speaker 13: and Jack Routing three. I think everybody's probably under the
Speaker 13: age of twenty five twenty six years old, and I
Speaker 13: brought it in there and we just started figuring out
Speaker 13: how it made us feel. And I just said, it
Speaker 13: kind of makes me feel like I wouldn't forget about
Speaker 13: that girl if everything didn't remind me about her. And
Speaker 13: we took off running with that, and it'll be the
Speaker 13: first song. We just sent it to radio yesterday.
Speaker 4: Actually, it feel good when you finished it, good as in, like, man,
Speaker 4: this is a little different, this one feel special.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it gave me chills, and it would like almost
Speaker 13: I get emotionally attacked some of these songs and I
Speaker 13: fall in love with him off the bat like it's
Speaker 13: kind of like if I could hear that song for
Speaker 13: the first time again. When I played it in the
Speaker 13: truck the phone demo, I got chills and it's kind
Speaker 13: of like made me choke up a little bit. I
Speaker 13: just thought it was so good.
Speaker 4: We're going to play it now. This is never call again.
Speaker 4: It's a new Gavin at Cock. Gavin, great to see
Speaker 4: you man.
Speaker 13: Great to see too, Bobby Do.

Speaker 4: you when you're not around in a great way. I mean,
Speaker 4: you're that guy right now. It's like, have you seen
Speaker 4: the numbers? Have you seen the ticket sales? Have you
Speaker 4: seen like? You're that guy. So congratulations. Remember you only
Speaker 4: got two years ago crazy. Oh then you got to
Speaker 4: get it back a little bit. I told you all right, well,

Speaker 4: at Gavin adcog Music. Good to see you, buddy and
Speaker 4: hopefully I will see you soon. Sorry, Gavin Adcock.
Speaker 3: Every day.
Speaker 2: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number two.
Speaker 3: Does using a straw make you look feminine? That was
Speaker 3: the topic of conversation this week and it's all because
Speaker 3: there's a new story about a congressman who claimed this
Speaker 3: that only the females in his household you straws. So
Speaker 3: we had a whole debate about it, and I think
Speaker 3: all of us had a surprising reaction that I don't
Speaker 3: know that any of us started with when we first
Speaker 3: heard the story.
Speaker 14: So I don't know. Listen, give us your.
Speaker 1: Hot take number three.
Speaker 4: I never thought using a straw was masculine or feminine.
Speaker 4: But there's a congressman from Tennessee who says straws that's
Speaker 4: what the women in my house do.
Speaker 11: Oh oh wow, so.
Speaker 4: Say that. Representative Tim Burchett said in a recent interview
Speaker 4: that he does not use straws, telling Fox News that
Speaker 4: this is quote what women in my house do. The
Speaker 4: Fox News producer asked lawmakers in both chambers of Congress
Speaker 4: on Thursday about rules for men and bird Chit said
Speaker 4: men should not drink out of straw with straws in
Speaker 4: public or at all. I don't drink out of a straw, brother,
Speaker 4: that's what the women in my house do. Oh he
Speaker 4: did at the beginning of that. Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 4: W k r N with the story question, is it feminine?
Speaker 4: To use a straw. No, you're a girl though.
Speaker 10: Well, I'm saying, I don't look at a man and think,
Speaker 10: oh what a feminine man.
Speaker 6: He's using a straw.
Speaker 4: Got it, got it, got it?
Speaker 6: I feel like I can have an opinion about it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're a girl, though yours is a different Oh,
Speaker 4: because you're going to be more accepting.
Speaker 10: Okay, I just have not. I never thought this was
Speaker 10: a thing. Y'all use straws, don't you.
Speaker 4: I I love a straw, you love. I can't get
Speaker 4: it into my mouth fast enough. Also tracks if you just.
Speaker 12: Have like a glass of water and like no lid,
Speaker 12: no nothing, you're not in a fast food place, do
Speaker 12: you look for a straw to drink it out of it?
Speaker 13: I will.
Speaker 4: Quickly monitor the area see if I can find a straw.
Speaker 8: That's a bad look.
Speaker 4: That's not good.
Speaker 8: It's a bad look.
Speaker 4: Morgan, what do you think?
Speaker 3: It's funny that this is coming up because my boyfriends
Speaker 3: had to start using my stanley because he lost his
Speaker 3: water bottle.
Speaker 14: And it's kind of funny.
Speaker 3: Now I make fun of him because he walked around
Speaker 3: drinking out of a straw in his Stanley and it
Speaker 3: looks funny.
Speaker 6: Well, the whole Stanley's feminine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, now we got a little edge from Amy. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: you can't.
Speaker 10: You can do a straw, but you can't stand.
Speaker 1: Now like where she's coming from. Okay.
Speaker 4: So if I'm going to use a mug or a
Speaker 4: Stanley or something, if I'm going to like go to
Speaker 4: somebody's house to play pickleball, went to somebody and we
Speaker 4: have like a cabinet with like six or seven of them,
Speaker 4: I always try to grab them on the straw or
Speaker 4: the handle or the flip up that I can suck on.
Speaker 4: That's okay, that's okay.
Speaker 1: What's the difference?
Speaker 13: Now?
Speaker 7: The flip up is just part of the contraption. The
Speaker 7: straw sticking way out looks real weird.
Speaker 4: So the flip up suck is okay, but the straw
Speaker 4: suck isn't.
Speaker 6: You probably just did get a screw cap.
Speaker 4: See I knew it. Hey, I knew she'd come.
Speaker 8: Right now, you say it, I don't. Mine is screw.
Speaker 8: The lark is a screw.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have a flipbup you do,
Speaker 1: like I want a straw?
Speaker 8: Oh that's my bike one.
Speaker 7: My bike one is a flip up Because when you're riding,
Speaker 7: you gotta squirt in your mouth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you squirt, You don't just drink.
Speaker 8: It's like you said, the red light, you squirt it.
Speaker 12: You should get a squirt one because you don't want
Speaker 12: to put your lips on that.
Speaker 4: Why are you guys looking at me now? Judge?
Speaker 1: Are you changing your mind?
Speaker 6: I think you could get a squirt mood or screw run?
Speaker 4: Are you changing your mind about straws?
Speaker 6: I'm sort of changing my mind about staws.
Speaker 10: Like if we're talking like fast food, you've got a straw,
Speaker 10: no problem. But if you're actively seeking out a straw
Speaker 10: at home.
Speaker 1: For your comp I do we have glass straws?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I like to drink out of at home because I
Speaker 4: don't want to waste all the plastics. Why do you
Speaker 4: need a straw at home? I just like sucking them.
Speaker 4: See that's it right there. So you guys think got's
Speaker 4: onto something, Maybe.
Speaker 12: Not necessarily because it's not every straw Like Amy said,
Speaker 12: a fast food place, Hey, what are you going to do?
Speaker 4: Take the lid off? And no, it's already had the straw, Like,
Speaker 4: drink it, okay if you're in your house though, he said,
Speaker 4: that's what the women in my house do But I
Speaker 4: guess he means it's the women that lives there though
Speaker 4: not just in the house. But if you came over
Speaker 4: and I was drinking a drink and I added a
Speaker 4: straw in my house, you guys would think that was weird. Yeah,
Speaker 4: a little bit.
Speaker 6: I kind of feel like I need to see it.
Speaker 8: No, it's weird. I mean, no one sits around.
Speaker 6: I mean if you're grabbing for a stanley, yes, that's weird.
Speaker 12: Like when you're like trying to drink out of it,
Speaker 12: do you get your tongue to like find it first,
Speaker 12: because then we got problems probably.
Speaker 4: But again, I can also see it, I guess if
Speaker 4: it's dark. But if I can see it, no, I
Speaker 4: just got right in my mouth.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Like if you're sick and you can't move your
Speaker 10: head and you're in bed, then yeah, you can use
Speaker 10: the straw.
Speaker 7: Yeah, or dark You're like if you have a bunch
Speaker 7: of casts and you can't move your and they need
Speaker 7: to put your mouth cool like you your bed ridden.
Speaker 8: I get it.
Speaker 4: Okay, So then let me ask again, since we've talked
Speaker 4: this out a little bit, is using a straw feminine
Speaker 4: just generally speaking?
Speaker 10: Gosh, I did not think so at the beginning of this,
Speaker 10: but I, you know, have the right to change my mind.
Speaker 4: Sometimes they don't have a straw and they only have
Speaker 4: the little coffee stirs. They have a straw, I'll use
Speaker 4: that as a tiny tiny Yeah, I just really like
Speaker 4: a straw.
Speaker 6: Interesting, a little teeny tiny.
Speaker 4: Sometimes Yeah, yeah, Okay, is using a straw feminine? Aiming
Speaker 4: your final vote? Yes, lunch Box Morgan, it is Eddie
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Yeah, yeah, it is.
Speaker 6: Wow, But this is not. I don't I don't even know.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say it was a politician.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to know. You're the only one I'm
Speaker 4: going to know. It is not feminine.
Speaker 6: Yes, this is not. I'm not. I don't want us
Speaker 6: to get political here.
Speaker 4: I don't really think this is political. I don't think
Speaker 4: this is an issue dividing, you know.
Speaker 6: I'm just we're just stating our own opinions here. This
Speaker 6: has nothing to do with anybody's politics.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's from w k R and okay, with a
Speaker 4: twenty percent of of it is not feminine. That's where
Speaker 4: I come in. So I lost that election.
Speaker 6: Huh.
Speaker 4: All right, Jason Aldan, here's a masking guy for you
Speaker 4: he doesn't drink n I guarantee you don't drink.
Speaker 1: Out of it? Does it's Nicole's whoa, Oh you don't
Speaker 1: know that. Do you think? He goes in the closet
Speaker 1: drinks out of straw, so he feels good. He's a
Speaker 1: closet straw drinker.
Speaker 13: All right.
Speaker 1: It's the best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 3: Gretchen Wilson stopped by the studio is also her first
Speaker 3: time and it was really cool to hear from her.
Speaker 3: Not only does she talk about Redneck Woman and the
Speaker 3: inspiration behind that song, but also that she's doing something
Speaker 3: cool with here for the party and oh of course
Speaker 3: she was on the Mass Singer and so we got
Speaker 3: all the behind the scenes details with her.
Speaker 14: So this is Gretchen Wilson on The Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 1: Number two. There we go on the Bobby Bones Show. Now,
Speaker 1: Gretchen Wilson.
Speaker 4: Gretchen, good to see you. What do you have with you?
Speaker 11: What do I have with me?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Is that from Pearl?
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 11: It's a little part of Pearl that I brought.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Is that a glove?
Speaker 11: It's both of them? Yeah? These were my These were
Speaker 11: my hands.
Speaker 4: Don't they look small, so funny.
Speaker 15: Yeah, and they're off, they're kind of dirty. I was
Speaker 15: surprised at but they sent them to me just so
Speaker 15: I could have them for things like this, so that
Speaker 15: I can bring them around and show a little piece
Speaker 15: of my other self.
Speaker 11: They want them back.
Speaker 15: I have to they want them back. We have to
Speaker 15: FedEx them back. Actually, my publiciers like, don't forget the gloves.
Speaker 15: They're asking me about them.
Speaker 4: I would make fake ones and send the fake ones
Speaker 4: back to look like that.
Speaker 15: Well, you know, I have four dogs at home, and
Speaker 15: my mom this morning was just like tell them that
Speaker 15: the dogs ate them, you know, I mean.
Speaker 11: My dog actually probably happened.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So I have some questions about that show, specifically,
Speaker 4: who can you tell that you're on the mask singer?
Speaker 11: You can't tell anyone.
Speaker 15: I mean, I actually am so surprised at how how
Speaker 15: they keep the integrity of the secrets and the hush
Speaker 15: hush like the whole time. I was there for a
Speaker 15: month long work days, very strenuous, and you have to
Speaker 15: wear this hoodie and this visor that's taped. It's even
Speaker 15: taped on the inside, so you only have two little
Speaker 15: tiny squares that you can see through. Gloves can't show
Speaker 15: your hair, your skin, your ankles, your fingers, nothing so
Speaker 15: so the whole time I was there, I had absolutely
Speaker 15: no idea who I was competing against.
Speaker 1: Oh, you didn't even know who you were? Absolutely not
Speaker 1: thought about that.
Speaker 15: No, I had to watch, just like the viewing audience
Speaker 15: at home, to see who was being unmasked. Every The
Speaker 15: only one I knew was who came in second place,
Speaker 15: Andy Grammar, because they let us unmask in front of
Speaker 15: each other.
Speaker 11: But that was it. I didn't know anybody else the
Speaker 11: whole time. It was a guessing game.
Speaker 4: What about your family though?
Speaker 15: So very few people obviously my publicist knew hair and
Speaker 15: makeup artist who's been with me for over twenty years.
Speaker 11: She's the only one that went out there with me.
Speaker 4: Wait, why did you you hear a makeup done?
Speaker 15: Well, there is the unmasking at some point, just in case,
Speaker 15: because you could get unmasked at any at any given moment.
Speaker 15: Every time you go out there, it could be your
Speaker 15: last performance, so you have to be ready to Oh,
Speaker 15: see that look as good as you possibly can underneath
Speaker 15: the and I mean, if you saw it, I was
Speaker 15: pretty dang sweaty. I looked like I looked like a
Speaker 15: regular old, middle aged woman who just.
Speaker 11: Worked her ass off.
Speaker 4: But that's funny.
Speaker 11: But I mean we did the best we could under
Speaker 11: the mask.
Speaker 4: Yeah, when I did Dancing with the Stars, we had
Speaker 4: to take our suitcases fully packed every show because you
Speaker 4: might be going because we might be going home. I
Speaker 4: never thought about that, like.
Speaker 15: Yeah, So, I mean, I guess it's probably a lot
Speaker 15: easier for the guys. They don't do as much styling.
Speaker 15: But you know, some of the girls take that mask off,
Speaker 15: and it's like, did they just spend an hour and
Speaker 15: a half doing air and make up before.
Speaker 11: They took that head off?
Speaker 4: When did they come to you? How far ahead before
Speaker 4: you left? Did they come to you and say do
Speaker 4: the mass singer? And what did they say to convince
Speaker 4: you to do it?
Speaker 11: Well, they had been asking.
Speaker 15: I think they asked several times, and I was just,
Speaker 15: you know, I was just like me, you know, dancing
Speaker 15: around in a costume. I just it just didn't make sense.
Speaker 15: But then a few years ago, I was one of
Speaker 15: the first in I think town, early in twenty twenty
Speaker 15: to get COVID, and it threw me for a loop.
Speaker 15: I'm a long hauler, I've gotten now high blood pressure.
Speaker 15: These are all things that I didn't have before. And
Speaker 15: then I fell dancing with a six year old boy
Speaker 15: doing ring around the rosie. I fell and just demolished
Speaker 15: my left leg ankle was just you know when you
Speaker 15: see on YouTube videos sometimes the foot hanging the wrong way.
Speaker 11: That's what I did.
Speaker 15: And so I had like about a solid year and
Speaker 15: a half of just I don't know if I'm ever
Speaker 15: going to get back, you know, get back to walking
Speaker 15: wearing these shoes. My health was so bad it took
Speaker 15: forever to get the right medication. So this time when
Speaker 15: they asked, I was on the rebound. I was getting healthier,
Speaker 15: I'd finally found good doctors and all of that. And
Speaker 15: I thought to myself, I was scared. I was scared
Speaker 15: to go back out on tour. I didn't know if
Speaker 15: I could still do it. And I thought, if I
Speaker 15: can go out there and I can do something that's
Speaker 15: so outside of my norm, something that pushes me to
Speaker 15: my limit, I mean hard rehearsals for choreography and just
Speaker 15: stuff that I'm not used to, if I can do that,
Speaker 15: then I can keep going for a while. And so
Speaker 15: for me, it was really about testing myself and proving
Speaker 15: to myself that I could still do this for another
Speaker 15: you know, however many years.
Speaker 4: Wow, I didn't know you hurt yourself so bad. It
Speaker 4: was And while you're sick, it's also like you're dealing
Speaker 4: with long COVID and you also can't get your body in.
Speaker 11: I gain like sixty five pounds, so it's.
Speaker 4: Broken and your whole systems. I was in a wheelchair.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I was in a wheelchair for like almost eight months,
Speaker 15: casted from over the knee all the way down to
Speaker 15: the middle of my foot.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 15: Yes, And it was just yeah, and it was just
Speaker 15: a long recovery and then depression, Like I was one
Speaker 15: of those you know, I'm an old fashioned redneck from
Speaker 15: out in the country.
Speaker 11: I'm like, depression.
Speaker 15: I don't believe in that, you know, and then it
Speaker 15: happens to you, and then you're like, dang, this is real,
Speaker 15: you know, Like I really my everything.
Speaker 11: Just felt bad for a while.
Speaker 15: I just I didn't even feel like I was inside
Speaker 15: of my own self, like I thought I was in
Speaker 15: someone else's skin. And it just took a lot of determination,
Speaker 15: a lot of prayer obviously, and a lot of hard
Speaker 15: work and believing in myself, but yeah, the Mask singer
Speaker 15: definitely gave me that that just kind of push.
Speaker 4: You seem so energetic and even magnetic right now, Are
Speaker 4: you feeling good?
Speaker 11: I feel good. I feel like that.
Speaker 15: In my life, I have had so many things working
Speaker 15: against me, and I've always sort of just just I
Speaker 15: don't know if it's just the way I was raised
Speaker 15: by the women around me just being such strong women,
Speaker 15: but I've always just been, you know, you're not gonna
Speaker 15: get me down kind of a person. But there was
Speaker 15: definitely in the last couple of years there was that moment,
Speaker 15: especially at my age. I'm you know, I'm no spring chicken.
Speaker 15: I'm coming up on fifty two years old. So I
Speaker 15: was like, well, maybe it's just time. Maybe this is
Speaker 15: God's way of saying slow down, just be an old
Speaker 15: woman like you're supposed to be, you know. But then,
Speaker 15: you know, with all the prayer and everything, it just
Speaker 15: made sense to me that God actually has a much
Speaker 15: bigger plan for me. And I know this sounds crazy,
Speaker 15: but it is not singing, even though that is like
Speaker 15: a miracle that I came from where I come from,
Speaker 15: and you know the things that have happened to me
Speaker 15: weren't supposed to. But I'm determined and I'm sure that
Speaker 15: this singing thing is still just a path to something
Speaker 15: else that I'm supposed to be doing, or I think
Speaker 15: I would have been hanging it up.
Speaker 11: You know a couple years ago.
Speaker 4: Is that suit heavy?
Speaker 11: It's very heavy, very heavy.
Speaker 4: Because I'm thinking about your foot, yes, and you're testing
Speaker 4: your longs obviously singing you're having to move around on
Speaker 4: that thing a lot. And if it's heavy, it was
Speaker 4: it very uncomfortable.
Speaker 11: It's it's mostly hot.
Speaker 15: I mean, I would say it's heavy, for sure, but
Speaker 15: there's just the heat and the kind of costume that
Speaker 15: I had. There was not even a little bitty sippy
Speaker 15: hole for like a straw to take a drink. So
Speaker 15: in long rehearsals and long you know, dry blocking sets
Speaker 15: that that would get kind of uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: But couse, you can't just pull your head off. But
Speaker 4: now are other people around you.
Speaker 11: No you can't.
Speaker 15: Sometimes they'd let you do the rehearsals with the visor.
Speaker 15: But that was still hot.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's heavy, it's it's hot, it's but you know
Speaker 15: what a lot of people don't know is that underneath
Speaker 15: it's it's a It's like a bicycle helmet that they
Speaker 15: just crank tighter and tighter and tighter, and then you
Speaker 15: wiggle and if your head starts to go over. But
Speaker 15: I mean, it's heavy enough that one of the performances
Speaker 15: they had me squatting down and inside of this little
Speaker 15: box and then when the music starts, I step up
Speaker 15: and I had to practice it three or four times
Speaker 15: because just lifting that head it was like lifting another
Speaker 15: person on my back to stand up straight. And I
Speaker 15: just thought, I'm not gonna get all the way up
Speaker 15: or I might go over backwards.
Speaker 4: When did you start to feel like you could win it?
Speaker 8: Who?
Speaker 15: I didn't think I was gonna win all the way
Speaker 15: till the end. I thought for sure that that Boogie
Speaker 15: Woogie had it. He was my favorite character. I mean
Speaker 15: the first time I heard him, seeing because we were
Speaker 15: in the same group. We started in the same group,
Speaker 15: and I was like, Oh, this guy's got it. Whoever
Speaker 15: he is, he's fabulous. He's just got the charisma. He
Speaker 15: played the character parts so well, and we actually kind
Speaker 15: of we were really high five in each other through
Speaker 15: the hallways, still not knowing who each other were. You know,
Speaker 15: we'd just call each other I just called him Boogie
Speaker 15: and he called me Pearl.
Speaker 6: That's crazy.
Speaker 15: But yeah, we had kind of a little character romance
Speaker 15: thing going on. And then yeah, I didn't. I was
Speaker 15: determined to win it when I got there, because I
Speaker 15: didn't fly all the way out there for nothing. You know,
Speaker 15: I wasn't going to do all of that just to
Speaker 15: go home right away. So yeah, I was in it
Speaker 15: to win it, but I didn't think I had it,
Speaker 15: And not even until the end.
Speaker 4: What happens right after show? After you win, you go sleep.
Speaker 15: You go to sleep, you try to get the cramping
Speaker 15: to stop, You hydrate. I mean, seriously, the hydration was
Speaker 15: probably the biggest thing for me, just being out there,
Speaker 15: not used to California really that I don't go that often,
Speaker 15: and just the wear and tear, so yeah, I mean
Speaker 15: there was twice that I had to have medics come
Speaker 15: and give me an IV in my hotel room.
Speaker 1: Wow, it was. It was not an easy show.
Speaker 4: Are the Codestents always singing live?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 15: Yeah, we sing live every time and there and now
Speaker 15: they do they do do some vocal recording. They're not
Speaker 15: really it's not that important, but I think they they
Speaker 15: do the vocal recording in case, you know, like it's
Speaker 15: a it's a live TV show with a with a
Speaker 15: live audience. I mean, what would happen if I fell
Speaker 15: and broke my leg again right before I was supposed
Speaker 15: to go on, you know, and they had to just
Speaker 15: sit me in a seat, Or what happens if I
Speaker 15: got laryngitis, you know all of a sudden. I think
Speaker 15: that they have it as a backup plan. But everybody
Speaker 15: from what I was listening to was live. And I'm
Speaker 15: pretty good at you know, if you hear no flaws
Speaker 15: at all, you have to question it. But you know,
Speaker 15: sitting back in my little pipe and drape listening to
Speaker 15: the other performances, it all seemed really live to me.
Speaker 4: You talk about where you came from, Poconnas, Illinois. Yes,
Speaker 4: what's your hometown?
Speaker 11: Like small?
Speaker 15: There's like seven hundred and eight hundred people there, like
Speaker 15: a little quick shop, really no traffic light there's Poconnas
Speaker 15: is a little bit bigger than pier On Sea. I
Speaker 15: had to pick a place when I got signed. They
Speaker 15: were like, you have to have a hometown. I was like,
Speaker 15: I really don't, though, I just lived everywhere. You know,
Speaker 15: I'm here for three months there for three months, I
Speaker 15: was born in Granite City, but I never lived in
Speaker 15: Granite City. You know, it's just a it was a
Speaker 15: weird childhood. So I had to pick a place. And
Speaker 15: my favorite childhood memories were in Pocahontas, and I did
Speaker 15: live there in two different spots there. But all around
Speaker 15: there they're all little towns of like five hundred, six hundred,
Speaker 15: seven hundred, mostly bars. There's really nothing to do but
Speaker 15: go to the tavern. You know, everybody's mom and dad
Speaker 15: and grandma and grandpa and aunt and uncles are all
Speaker 15: a member of some kind of bush pool league or
Speaker 15: you know, some kind of sand volleyball where everybody's just
Speaker 15: getting drunk and fighting. I mean, it's just it's just
Speaker 15: a lot of ignorant, drunken stuff. I mean, and it's
Speaker 15: still the same. I go back and I'll walk into
Speaker 15: the bar and there's the same old man with the
Speaker 15: same cigarette with the long curved ash hanging off of it.
Speaker 15: He's still drinking the same mugg a bush, you know,
Speaker 15: and it's like nothing changes around here.
Speaker 11: You know, it's crazy.
Speaker 4: Why did you move to Nashville?
Speaker 15: Because I was had big dreams, you know, just like
Speaker 15: everybody else that moved to Nashville.
Speaker 11: I wanted to. I wanted to be Lorett Lenn.
Speaker 4: You know, how old were you when you moved here.
Speaker 15: I wasn't that young. I had had a pretty good
Speaker 15: deal going back home. I was in three different bands
Speaker 15: at the same time, playing every night. I was kind
Speaker 15: of the big star back home, and moved down here
Speaker 15: in probably ninety four and had to get a job
Speaker 15: ten and bar right away because it was, you know,
Speaker 15: now little fish.
Speaker 11: So yeah, and I.
Speaker 15: Got a job in the one place in all of
Speaker 15: Nashville that prides itself on never playing country music, which
Speaker 15: was really strangely Bourbon Street blues and boogie Bard.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I still live right over there on Prayers Alli. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So that's where you went to work.
Speaker 11: That's where I went to work.
Speaker 15: And I was making really good money, you know, worked
Speaker 15: five nights a week there, go in at three pm
Speaker 15: to open and stay there until three am to close.
Speaker 4: And were you singing at the bart all?
Speaker 15: So not at first, but then after I was there
Speaker 15: for a little while, I made friends with Stacy mitch
Speaker 15: Hart and Blues you can use band who he still
Speaker 15: plays there, and we're pretty good buddies. And he would
Speaker 15: start calling me up and you know, I was like
Speaker 15: the singing waitress and he'd just call me up. And
Speaker 15: but again I didn't get to do any any originals
Speaker 15: or anything that was country. I was singing, you know,
Speaker 15: Patty LaBelle and Aretha Franklin.
Speaker 4: Were you riding that?
Speaker 15: So when I worked at Bourbon Street is when I
Speaker 15: first met John and Kenny. John and Kenny just happened
Speaker 15: in there one night. I was behind the bar and
Speaker 15: they heard me sing and made their way up to
Speaker 15: talk to me.
Speaker 4: And was it like big and riches here? Was that
Speaker 4: the thing?
Speaker 1: Or did you know they were?
Speaker 11: They were still up and coming. Nobody knew them as
Speaker 11: big and rich.
Speaker 15: John had a solo thing that was going, and Kenny
Speaker 15: was trying his hand at the solo thing. But they
Speaker 15: had really first met right around that time and started
Speaker 15: writing together. So the music mafia was just beginning at
Speaker 15: that moment. And so that's when that's when they just
Speaker 15: asked me. You know, John said, how come you got
Speaker 15: a record deal? And you know, me, being who I am,
Speaker 15: I just kind of looked at him like, why you
Speaker 15: got one in your pocket? Because if you don't, you know,
Speaker 15: order a drink and get out of my face I'm busy.
Speaker 15: So that was kind of our first meeting. And then
Speaker 15: I got invited out to a music mafia at the
Speaker 15: Pubble Love and the kind of the rest.
Speaker 4: Is history, and you just that just became your group.
Speaker 15: Became my family. It became my musical my musical home,
Speaker 15: and my musical family. Yeah, we were all a little
Speaker 15: bit different, but we were all good and we were
Speaker 15: all good enough to hold an audience.
Speaker 11: And that was kind of what our motto was.
Speaker 15: It doesn't really matter what you play, whether it's electric
Speaker 15: guitar or a fiddle, or if you're, you know, a painter,
Speaker 15: or if you're a sword swallower.
Speaker 11: We don't care.
Speaker 15: As long as you're good at what you do and
Speaker 15: you can hold an audience, then you're welcome at the mafia.
Speaker 4: I saw you at the ACM Awards. I didn't.
Speaker 11: I saw you too.
Speaker 4: You get to talk to you because you know, everybody's
Speaker 4: moving all around. But I thought it was super cool
Speaker 4: because you got on stage with other new artists when
Speaker 4: it was you, it was a whole bunch of you guys.
Speaker 11: Yeah, other female vocalist artists that have won in the
Speaker 11: past year.
Speaker 4: It was twenty years sent you won the Award.
Speaker 11: Something like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was really it was a really cool moment.
Speaker 1: It was it was.
Speaker 15: Neat to be standing up there with the likes of
Speaker 15: one owner and you know, just amazing, amazing women in
Speaker 15: the industry. Crystal Gale. Yeah, Sarah Martina, who's my Martina.
Speaker 15: I had to tell her a crazy story about one
Speaker 15: time I was going under for a surgery and the
Speaker 15: last thing I saw on TV as I was going
Speaker 15: under was Martina McBride. She was on one of the
Speaker 15: morning talk shows. And when I came out of anstejia,
Speaker 15: I was screaming at everybody, don't you mess with my Martina.
Speaker 11: And so I told her that story. That's a pretty
Speaker 11: funny story.
Speaker 4: I had a weirdo show up at my house looking
Speaker 4: for Martina, and I had to call her and be like,
Speaker 4: there's a weirdo looking for you. Yeah, like lock every
Speaker 4: door because they became.
Speaker 11: Because aces man.
Speaker 15: I had issues with a television show filming My Little
Speaker 15: Girl back in the beginning of my career, and they
Speaker 15: were asked not to, and it was actually in the
Speaker 15: contract that they would not film the kid, but they
Speaker 15: were doing it anyway, and I was losing my mind.
Speaker 11: I called John and John was like, I don't have
Speaker 11: any kids yet and called Martina.
Speaker 15: So I called Martina and she was just really really calming,
Speaker 15: very very cool about the whole situation. Gave me great advice.
Speaker 15: She's just a she's aces.
Speaker 4: What do you say to new artists if they're like Retchen,
Speaker 4: I'm twenty two and I just signed a record deal.
Speaker 4: What do I expect?
Speaker 10: Like?
Speaker 4: What what kind of advice do you give them?
Speaker 15: Not to expect anything, because it's never what you expect.
Speaker 15: I don't think anybody when they come to Nashville following
Speaker 15: their hopes and dreams, really know what they're getting into,
Speaker 15: because no one, no deal is the same. Everybody's going
Speaker 15: to have a different kind of experience in it, especially
Speaker 15: now like I was, I think among one of the
Speaker 15: last to have like the real major record deal. Things
Speaker 15: really changed after that. Nobody goes to Walmart parking lots
Speaker 15: and does in stores and sign CDs anymore. You know,
Speaker 15: that was still going on, you know for me when
Speaker 15: I was a breaking artist. So it's so different. I
Speaker 15: don't know that I would have great advice because the
Speaker 15: world and just how you market yourself and how you
Speaker 15: present yourself is so different.
Speaker 11: I'd probably have to.
Speaker 15: Call my daughter and say, what advice would you give
Speaker 15: someone your age? But I mean, honestly, I think, just
Speaker 15: try to stay true to yourself. But remember that in
Speaker 15: every business, regardless of what it is you have to
Speaker 15: there are some concessions, there are some things that there's
Speaker 15: some give and take. If I could speak to my
Speaker 15: younger self, I would tell myself that be a little
Speaker 15: less nitpicky and demanding and be a little more open minded.
Speaker 15: You know, like my first album, I really there were
Speaker 15: three songs that I just did not want on that record,
Speaker 15: and I really fought and fought and fought, and of
Speaker 15: course the record label won. But now I look back
Speaker 15: at those particular songs and I'm so glad that they're
Speaker 15: on that record because they show a side of myself
Speaker 15: that I wasn't gonna show anybody, and you know, the
Speaker 15: producers knew better, and so be open minded.
Speaker 11: I think that's the best advice I can give.
Speaker 4: How much did Redneck Woman change your life?
Speaker 11: Redneck Woman was it?
Speaker 15: I mean, it was the whole People will tell you
Speaker 15: there are a lot of really talented people, but it
Speaker 15: takes the right voice, also, the right song and the
Speaker 15: right time those things have to kind of come together
Speaker 15: for you to have a really monster hit, and that's
Speaker 15: what happened with Redneck Woman. And it was just the
Speaker 15: perfect time. Women like me weren't really being spoken to
Speaker 15: or sung about. And you know, when I turned on
Speaker 15: the music channels, all I saw was beautiful women like
Speaker 15: Faith Hill rolling around in silk sheets. You know, I
Speaker 15: can feel you breathe, and I'm like, who the hell
Speaker 15: looks like that at six o'clock in the morning, you know,
Speaker 15: not me or anybody that I know.
Speaker 11: So it was just the time.
Speaker 15: It was time to write a song for women like
Speaker 15: me that were happy to be like me, that thought
Speaker 15: that their whole world was fulfilled living in a home
Speaker 15: and driving a pickup truck and raising kids and dogs,
Speaker 15: you know, and going to the football game on the weekend.
Speaker 15: Not everybody wants the same thing in life. And if
Speaker 15: that's what your life is, and that's what you're happy with,
Speaker 15: and you should be celebrated too.
Speaker 4: Did you and John just write that together?
Speaker 13: Yes?
Speaker 4: When you finished writing it, did it feel special? Did
Speaker 4: it feel like it had texture?
Speaker 15: It felt special to me because it felt like my home.
Speaker 15: You know, it felt like i'd finally truly written a
Speaker 15: song that really represented me. But now I think our
Speaker 15: our honestly our feeling was nobody's going to play this.
Speaker 15: It's you know, we were in in a moment in
Speaker 15: country music where that pendulum was swinging more towards the
Speaker 15: slicker sound, and we just thought that we might have
Speaker 15: missed missed our window, or that the timing wasn't right,
Speaker 15: and you know, girls weren't doing what I was doing
Speaker 15: at that moment. So it really that's the reason it worked,
Speaker 15: but we were afraid that it could be the reason
Speaker 15: that it wouldn't.
Speaker 4: Did it work immediately once they committed to it.
Speaker 11: No, the fans love it. Yes, the fans loved it.
Speaker 15: And if it hadn't been for the fans calling the
Speaker 15: local radio stations and demanding it, I'm not sure that
Speaker 15: it would have gone the way it did. Program directors
Speaker 15: didn't really love it that much. I mean, we got
Speaker 15: we got phone calls back at the label that I
Speaker 15: was hearing about, you know, some of them saying things like,
Speaker 15: we've been working for twenty years to get this redneck
Speaker 15: word out of our listener's mouth, you know, And it
Speaker 15: was really kind of up to me to define redneck
Speaker 15: it's like, you know, you guys have just decided all
Speaker 15: across this country that it's a bad word and that
Speaker 15: it means racist. But that's not what it means. It's
Speaker 15: not at all what it means. I mean, being a
Speaker 15: redneck has value. It's about where you come from, and
Speaker 15: it's really about being out in the field farming all
Speaker 15: day and coming back in the house and having a
Speaker 15: red neck from being out on a tractor all day long.
Speaker 15: That's what it's about. It has nothing to do with racism.
Speaker 15: And I became kind of the face of having to
Speaker 15: explain that to the world, and even the radio stations
Speaker 15: didn't want that word, and so to present myself as
Speaker 15: the redneck woman kind of took a lot of you know.
Speaker 4: I saw that you're doing the show with Blake Shelton,
Speaker 4: The Taylor Sheridan Show. You're the tour manager. Yes, that's exciting.
Speaker 4: Tell us about that show.
Speaker 11: It's it's really cool because in this show I get
Speaker 11: to show my face.
Speaker 4: You don't have to wear a really heavy costume.
Speaker 15: Yes, yeah, this is a really really cool opportunity. I
Speaker 15: think a lot of people are thinking that's just going
Speaker 15: to be another run of the mill, you know, talent competition,
Speaker 15: but it's really very different than any of the ones
Speaker 15: that I've seen anyway. This is this one moves across
Speaker 15: the country. It's a live audience in kind of a bar,
Speaker 15: like a large honky Tonk sort of situation. The audience
Speaker 15: that comes in every night is an audience that's coming
Speaker 15: to see Keith Urban. So all of these contestants really
Speaker 15: are an opening act for you know, an amazingly talented
Speaker 15: artist who goes out there every single show and just
Speaker 15: just nails it. I mean, I'm super huge fan of
Speaker 15: his now if I wasn't before, I'm just amazed by
Speaker 15: how professional he is. Yeah, my job was really just
Speaker 15: to prepare these kids for what it's really like to
Speaker 15: be on the road. It's not all a glitz and glamor.
Speaker 15: It's it's a lot of bus life. It's a lot
Speaker 15: of parking by dumpsters. It's a lot of making sure
Speaker 15: that you don't party too hard, get plenty of sleep,
Speaker 15: don't talk all day, you know, take care of yourselves.
Speaker 15: What songs are you going to sing? How are you
Speaker 15: going to beat the girl that was just up there
Speaker 15: before you. It was that kind of thing. I didn't
Speaker 15: have to take care of the buses and the hotels.
Speaker 15: Thank goodness, I just didn't have to really, No, I did.
Speaker 15: I did what a tour manager does on site, but
Speaker 15: not the logistics.
Speaker 4: No merchant, end of the night, none of that.
Speaker 11: Oh thank goodness.
Speaker 4: The show is called the Road and it gets this
Speaker 4: fall right.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, I don't have an exact date yet, but yeah.
Speaker 4: Are you re recording here for the party?
Speaker 11: I am.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's what I've heard.
Speaker 15: So I'm going to go in and re record the
Speaker 15: first album entirely, but I'm gonna do it different. I'm
Speaker 15: gonna I'm gonna get guest artists on each on each song,
Speaker 15: and I've got a few in mind already, but I
Speaker 15: I'm kind of keeping my I'm keeping it open right
Speaker 15: now because there are a few people that I really
Speaker 15: think you haven't had the opportunity to be in the
Speaker 15: spotlight yet. That should be so some of the names,
Speaker 15: I think you'll recognize. Some of them you might just
Speaker 15: should have recognized already.
Speaker 4: And did performing again on the Masked Singer, because obviously
Speaker 4: you're a performer and a singer. But it'll make you
Speaker 4: feel comfortable with committing just to getting on the road
Speaker 4: doing a bunch of shows. Now.
Speaker 15: Well, yeah, I mean that was definitely one of the
Speaker 15: one of the things that I had to prove to myself.
Speaker 15: If I could do that, then I could get out there.
Speaker 15: I'm not going to say that it's easy to be
Speaker 15: on the road at my age.
Speaker 11: It's not. It's hot.
Speaker 4: You act like you're a hundred is the thing. You
Speaker 4: look great, you sound great, You're acting like you're walking
Speaker 4: here on a walker.
Speaker 11: Well I was. I was, Okay, I guess I don't know.
Speaker 15: You get that close to it all and you just
Speaker 15: maybe I'm just still in that fear mode, you know that,
Speaker 15: like every step I take. As you can see, I'm
Speaker 15: wearing really short boots now, I'm just like, yeah, I
Speaker 15: don't know about the high heels anymore. So yeah, I mean,
Speaker 15: I'm I'm definitely I'm not as young as some of them,
Speaker 15: you know, so I have to be careful. But I'm
Speaker 15: having fun on tour. You know, I've already done probably
Speaker 15: ten this year. I've got fifteen or twenty more on
Speaker 15: the books, and I'm actually having a lot of fun.
Speaker 15: The new band together, young kids in the band, got
Speaker 15: a lot of energy and they, Jeff, they make me
Speaker 15: have a lot of fun on.
Speaker 4: Stage, and a bunch of the shows and a lot
Speaker 4: of the places that were in Indiana, California doing Nashville, Detroit, Lakes, Minnesota, Tulsa, Oklahoma,
Speaker 4: Ocean City, Maryland. So you guys can catch gretching out
Speaker 4: on the road. Yeah, it's super cool to talk with you.
Speaker 11: Thanks for having me. It's cool to be here.
Speaker 4: I really appreciate you coming at Congratulations on the wind.
Speaker 4: I know how much hard work it is actually do that.
Speaker 4: It looks like to people it's like, oh good, but
Speaker 4: it's hard work.
Speaker 15: No, No, dancing would have been way that show. It
Speaker 15: was like an absolutely no for me from word go.
Speaker 4: Both their own difficult, but one of the most difficult
Speaker 4: parts is being away from home. Yeah, like just living
Speaker 4: in a hotel.
Speaker 15: Yeah, well you know what it's like to wear a
Speaker 15: lot of hats, you know. And also I saw you
Speaker 15: too at the award show. You were also wearing a
Speaker 15: lot of jackets, didn't I.
Speaker 4: See you chance jackets. There were times where like were
Speaker 4: breaking and they were like just get out there and fit,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, all right, I'll do it. So yes, yeah,
Speaker 4: I was being versative, being versatile and just doing it
Speaker 4: is my only talent.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you just got to trust in yourself.
Speaker 4: Just got to do it well. It has been super
Speaker 4: fun to talk with you. Congratulations to peerl Thank you
Speaker 4: is you but not really you.
Speaker 11: I'm going to add a couple of those songs to
Speaker 11: the show.
Speaker 4: I think, really, yeah, why that's fun?
Speaker 11: Why not?
Speaker 4: That's fine that if.
Speaker 11: I could keep the gloves, I'd wear them, but they won't.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, I would send back fake ones a
Speaker 4: little just like that, good idea, and they would never
Speaker 4: know the difference. We had the opportunity to buy our
Speaker 4: stuff on Dancing with the Stars, So I think.
Speaker 15: This stuff all goes into a museum of some of
Speaker 15: some sort, and then they put it out on display
Speaker 15: for a museum.
