Speaker 1: be hanging out with y'all for another beautiful weekend. Well
Speaker 1: it was beautiful and Nashville, and then we got storms again.
Speaker 1: I mean, I swear the weather is driving me crazy lately,
Speaker 1: including my allergies. They do not know what's happening. I
Speaker 1: hope you guys are having a great weekend, and I'm
Speaker 1: so appreciative that you guys are hanging out with me
Speaker 1: for just a little bit of it. Whether you're cleaning
Speaker 1: your house while listening, driving your kids somewhere, or maybe
Speaker 1: you're just hanging out with me on your couch with
Speaker 1: your dog. Either way, I love that you're here. Make
Speaker 1: sure you check out Part one. Though. This weekend, I
Speaker 1: had on Eddie with me and we talked about some
Speaker 1: fun things. He did have a birthday this week, so
Speaker 1: I made sure to read him his horoscope because you know,
Speaker 1: nobody on the show really believes in that, but I
Speaker 1: love to read them. And then we also talked about
Speaker 1: the things that we would like to own from a
Speaker 1: celebrity and the thing we would like to be named after.
Speaker 1: So just a lot going on over there with Eddie.
Speaker 1: Those are always some fun conversations for me, so be
Speaker 1: sure to check out part one before you dive in.
Speaker 1: Right now to the best bits of the week. Luke
Speaker 1: Holmes was on the show this week and he talked
Speaker 1: about his brand new album and he also answered uncomfortable
Speaker 1: questions from our listeners. Luke comes is always a fun interview.
Speaker 1: He's just super down to earth and he's also going
Speaker 1: to be a dad of two here very soon, and
Speaker 1: he's got a big world toward. Just a lot happening
Speaker 1: for this guy. And not to mention, he does sing
Speaker 1: my wind song. So I particularly love Luke Combs number seven,
Speaker 1: So Bobby Bones Show interview in case you didn't know, well,
Speaker 1: if you don't know about Luke Combs, welcome and I
Speaker 1: think you're gonna like him. Luke Combs massive superstar and
Speaker 1: went to college for business Appalachian State University in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, can sing real good, starts playing
Speaker 1: at local bars, got a new album out. It's kind
Speaker 1: of the second part of his first album. But it's
Speaker 1: out and it's gonna do so well and it's gonna
Speaker 1: crush and so he's here, let's do it. Let's talk
Speaker 1: to our guy. The Friday morning conversation with Luke Combs, Hey, buddy,
Speaker 1: how are you good? How are you go? Way to
Speaker 1: listen or email us? I don't want to forget this.
Speaker 1: I want to bring it up to you now. He
Speaker 1: wanted to know if it was a red flag that
Speaker 1: his girlfriend for his birthday she got him one of
Speaker 1: the shirts Columbia shirt pants like you wear. She wants
Speaker 1: them to grow a beard out, and she also has
Speaker 1: a big fascination with you. And he's like, is this
Speaker 1: a red flag that she wants me to look like
Speaker 1: Luke Combs? Not so much about you, specifically about her
Speaker 1: wanting him to look like somebody else. I feel like
Speaker 1: it may be more of a fetish Well that's what
Speaker 1: I said. I used the word fetish too, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I have that towards you as well, and so I related, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I guess it depends what advice would you
Speaker 1: give him. I mean, just have poor genetics on the
Speaker 1: beard thing. If you really want to grow like a
Speaker 1: really patchy beard, is yours patchy? It looks a plus
Speaker 1: It's no, it's I appreciate it, but this is it.
Speaker 1: This isn't t this is it. It's just all that
Speaker 1: grows it like it's maxed out. But I think it
Speaker 1: looks good. I never felt there's old patchy beard. I've
Speaker 1: never said that about you walking in. It's very nicky,
Speaker 1: you know. Don't wish it was more high. I don't
Speaker 1: have that. Billy May's like, I get it high this thing,
Speaker 1: you know, but after shave without my glasses on because
Speaker 1: I'm blind and I always forget to shave up near
Speaker 1: my eyes, it goes that high. It actually, yeah, it
Speaker 1: actually covers my eyebo. I have harry eyes. Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's weird. Uh, you have a new out. You don't
Speaker 1: even have to do promotions at this point, so I
Speaker 1: appreciate you coming by. I mean I told him at
Speaker 1: the Graham It's like, this is the most anticipated thing
Speaker 1: and forever. You literally could do no promotion at all
Speaker 1: and it would be massive. And then I was looking
Speaker 1: at us as well. The album's coming out today. It's
Speaker 1: actually out today. It's called Getting Old's second part of
Speaker 1: the first record, but it's its own record. Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: different things, no doubt. And then I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: let me just promote some Lukecomb shows and sold out
Speaker 1: is next to every single one of them, except in Zurich, Switzerland,
Speaker 1: where it was like five seats left. Yeah, so you
Speaker 1: five people in Zurich. This is the promotion. Now he
Speaker 1: needs to make like ninety more dollars anarily after fees,
Speaker 1: and so if you're in Zurich, otherwise everything is sold out.
Speaker 1: One of the issues that I have had, and I
Speaker 1: think as someone who is so in tune with his fans,
Speaker 1: you'll understand you probably have done many things, is it
Speaker 1: people buy up the tickets from my shows and try
Speaker 1: to resell them for like four times as much, and
Speaker 1: I get and I'm like, don't buy them. I told Mala,
Speaker 1: I don't buy the red tickets. If do you have
Speaker 1: that issue where people are buying them reselling them when
Speaker 1: you're just like, I'm just trying to get people into shows. Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: I mean everybody does you know, um, we've been doing
Speaker 1: ticket Master verified for years now. Does that help a
Speaker 1: whole lot? It does? Yeah, it does help a whole lot.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's not you know, it's it's impossible
Speaker 1: to stop right that from happening, you know, like entirely,
Speaker 1: but it helps a lot. Here's what I suggest. Set
Speaker 1: up a ticket booth and you're in it like a
Speaker 1: kissing booth before the show, they come buy them from you,
Speaker 1: right up. Yeah, then you walk them in, Yeah, to
Speaker 1: the metal detector. Yeah, everybody gets in. I mean, I
Speaker 1: definitely think that it's something. It's something that needs to
Speaker 1: be addressed somehow, in some way, shape or form. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm not smart enough to know let me ask you this,
Speaker 1: but it does need to happen because you're killing it. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you've been killing it since the moment he came out
Speaker 1: of the womb. Are you starting to save footage for
Speaker 1: in like fifteen or twenty years so you can do
Speaker 1: like a Garth whole package of your career because almost
Speaker 1: now it's your success has been I mean, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen anything like it, And I hope you've been saving
Speaker 1: stuff because it's gonna take this at some point for
Speaker 1: you to have it. Yeah, we have a lot of stuff,
Speaker 1: you know. I think we're kind of trying to do
Speaker 1: that right now. Yeah. It's just odd though, It's like
Speaker 1: the thought of that to me is really strange. But
Speaker 1: you could recreate some of it though. Shape's beard You're
Speaker 1: like I'm nineteen, I'm going to Russian for a guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't have anything that far back, I think, which
Speaker 1: is kind of but at the time it's like you're
Speaker 1: not thinking, man, I should be taking pictures of this,
Speaker 1: And it wasn't as even though it was, it wasn't
Speaker 1: as social media where you're recording everything, where if somebody
Speaker 1: who's nineteen now, they're just doing it because it's the lifestyle, right,
Speaker 1: it's they just do it. They're just doing that. Anyways.
Speaker 1: You know, I saw you get the Grammys in LA
Speaker 1: Is that more of a nerve racking thing for you
Speaker 1: because you're dressed up formal? Or is it? Is it
Speaker 1: just a really cool show? No, I mean it's I
Speaker 1: think it's different just because it's like it's the all thing.
Speaker 1: It's just so different. I mean, it's so different than
Speaker 1: you know, going on the CMAS or or you're going
Speaker 1: on a CMS or something. It's just like at those shows,
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of feel like you at least
Speaker 1: halfway no everybody that's there, and then you just gotta
Speaker 1: you know, you go to the Grammys and you're just
Speaker 1: like one of a million people, you know, and it's
Speaker 1: like it's just weird and everybody it's just I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, you're dressed up formal, but it's like you
Speaker 1: might as well be wearing a T shirt compared to
Speaker 1: when everybody else is wearing you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Did you see anybody while you're performing? I don't know
Speaker 1: how the lights situation was. Could you see anybody famous
Speaker 1: while you're playing? Or were you so just dialed in?
Speaker 1: I didn't look. I mean, I just like I just
Speaker 1: didn't want to. I just try not to look. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm also a horrible guitar player, so I was really
Speaker 1: focused I'm not missing as well. Yeah, that was more
Speaker 1: of my concern at that time. Luke Holmbs is here.
Speaker 1: The new record is out today. It is called Getting Old,
Speaker 1: which so talk about the project in general. When you
Speaker 1: did the first half of this, did you know what
Speaker 1: the Growing Up was gonna be first half? Yeah? I did, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I had I had a song, and I feel like,
Speaker 1: really the way it worked out was just I mean,
Speaker 1: we recorded over the last I don't know, three years,
Speaker 1: which is just kind of I think of that time
Speaker 1: frame of when we recorded Growing Up and when recorded
Speaker 1: Getting Old, it's like they weren't separate, like all the
Speaker 1: songs were kind of recorded in this two and a
Speaker 1: half three year period. There were songs picked for growing Up,
Speaker 1: which it feels entirely different to me than the next one.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the thing now everybody's putting out
Speaker 1: like a big, huge thing and not there's anything wrong
Speaker 1: with that. It's just not what I want to do
Speaker 1: because I feel like it's I want each song to
Speaker 1: kind of get a moment for people to have a
Speaker 1: chance to hear it. I guess yeah, as a consumer,
Speaker 1: if somebody puts out thirty songs, I never even hit
Speaker 1: play on twenty of them. It's hard. Fans not there.
Speaker 1: I'm four years old. Yeah, it's hard. I mean it
Speaker 1: is hard. You know. Luke Combs is here. We're gonna
Speaker 1: play Going, Going, Gone, the records out today, getting old
Speaker 1: and go stream it. I'm sure you will. You probably
Speaker 1: listening to that and not this show. So you're not
Speaker 1: even hearing me say this right now. Tell me that
Speaker 1: ain't some stuff. Tell me that it needed to DiCaprio movie.
Speaker 1: What is that one called? Yeah? No me, that ain't
Speaker 1: radio inception? Right there? They're not even hearing it, and
Speaker 1: I'm talking to them. When you have to deal with
Speaker 1: the lottery and you have the lottery ticket scratch off?
Speaker 1: Did you ever get one and scratch? I didn't. I
Speaker 1: got some. I got a feed like from fans actually,
Speaker 1: and like if you would have one, would they have
Speaker 1: given you the money? Or is that like me being
Speaker 1: a call or ten one of our radio stations. I
Speaker 1: feel like that's why I didn't like scratch them, you know,
Speaker 1: like if it was like, what if this was one?
Speaker 1: What did you do with them? Give them away? I
Speaker 1: have them. I still have them. They're just unscratched lunch.
Speaker 1: I'm imagining you get offered so many brand deals. Are
Speaker 1: there any that just don't make sense? But you think, hey,
Speaker 1: that's probably a great product, but it just ain't for
Speaker 1: me specifically, so you don't do it. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I had someone a couple of years ago try to
Speaker 1: I don't remember who it was, but someone tried to,
Speaker 1: like do they wanted me to do like a cereal?
Speaker 1: And I was like, what is that? Oh? That's good.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just just sitting I mean, I
Speaker 1: like cereal or whatever, but I don't know. I'm I
Speaker 1: try to be like as picky as I can about
Speaker 1: that because I have the ability to do that right.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like like protecting my brand in
Speaker 1: a way by like not doing things I think is
Speaker 1: more valuable than just doing everything that comes your way,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Because eventually I always think
Speaker 1: of something too. It's like, you know, when I'm if
Speaker 1: I'm making a decision for my career, whether it's something
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say on stage or a thing that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna brand, thing I'm gonna do, and as I'm like,
Speaker 1: what are my like grandkids gonna think about this? You know,
Speaker 1: like if they see if they were to see this,
Speaker 1: would they be like, yeah, that was cool. I mean
Speaker 1: if Grandpa had a cereal. If you're a kid, but
Speaker 1: you're you're right, because I'm sure with you and with me.
Speaker 1: I used to beg and say yes to everything because
Speaker 1: I just needed to say yes to things to get
Speaker 1: to the next point. But now the freedom for you
Speaker 1: and even for me, I don't have to say yes everything.
Speaker 1: I just say yes now the things I want to write.
Speaker 1: But that wasn't always a case. Yeah, no doubt, and
Speaker 1: I put I put out a cereal. They said Luke
Speaker 1: didn't want to do. Yeah, it was called Barry Buttholes, Oh,
Speaker 1: so you didn't do that, Bobby's I like it. Um,
Speaker 1: what do you listen to at the house if you're
Speaker 1: just listening to music for your own enjoyment? Um, Honestly,
Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time in my garage and
Speaker 1: the only like music I have out there is like
Speaker 1: a set player. So it's only old stuff that we
Speaker 1: used to buy at the gas station, pretty much from
Speaker 1: the rat cassette rat like I have one that's like
Speaker 1: Marlborough country music or something like. It's just like a
Speaker 1: weird like I just at like I just put tapes in. Honestly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I listened to a ton of new stuff
Speaker 1: in the car, but you know, it's like mostly I'm
Speaker 1: in the when I'm listening to music, I'm in the shop,
Speaker 1: you know. And also when I listen to music, if
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying stuff, I like to hear music that I'm
Speaker 1: comfortable I have to think a whole lot about. So
Speaker 1: it's always the stuff from what I was younger, Right,
Speaker 1: It's like nineties country or John Mayer a Counting Crows
Speaker 1: or like that's I don't have to or if I'm
Speaker 1: watching a TV show and I'm just like not just
Speaker 1: turning to vegi out. I don't watch something that's got
Speaker 1: me like it's right the office, or it's something I've
Speaker 1: seen ten thousand times. Yeah, do you watch anything good? Man?
Speaker 1: We watch a lot of a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of crime shows, man, a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: murder mystery type stuff. That's kind of our jam. Is
Speaker 1: it your jam? Because your wife wants it to be
Speaker 1: your jam? No? I love it. I wanted to be
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a detective before I did this,
Speaker 1: so I was already in May. Me and my dad
Speaker 1: watched a lot of it growing up. My wife loves
Speaker 1: it too. What kind of detective? Homicide? Detective? Is what
Speaker 1: I wanted to do? Yeah? What would even expose you
Speaker 1: to the idea you could do that? Was it TV? Then? Probably?
Speaker 1: It was probably television? Yeah, imagine you're watching The Last
Speaker 1: of Us on HBO at all? I haven't. I keep
Speaker 1: hearing about it, though I've heard it's great. It's not
Speaker 1: a video game? Yes, yeah, it's the the odd Will
Speaker 1: I like video game? Do you still play? I talked
Speaker 1: to do you play? In your Kiscane Brown and I
Speaker 1: hang out a little bit and he's always like, man,
Speaker 1: you should get to a computer to play on. Should
Speaker 1: you should? Yeah? And he's such an advocate of playing
Speaker 1: on you see it's awesome. He's like, you're so fast,
Speaker 1: you got more? Is that what you play on with? No?
Speaker 1: I play with a controller? Oh you do? Okay? See
Speaker 1: why why why is it so much better? Well, I
Speaker 1: mean it's like, okay, so if you've got a console
Speaker 1: right like, it has a it has a preset like Graphee,
Speaker 1: you know. But the computer, it's like you can change
Speaker 1: the parts out right, like so you can get the newest,
Speaker 1: nicest graphics card. But I still have dial up? So
Speaker 1: would that hurt me if I play video? Yeah, that
Speaker 1: would be deal breaker, no doubt. All right, uncomfortable questions
Speaker 1: from our listeners to take Coombs number one. How much
Speaker 1: does Luke Coombs having his wallet right now? Oh? Okay,
Speaker 1: I have my wallet right now. Most people though that
Speaker 1: are rich. They'll carry a lot of cash. It's fat.
Speaker 1: A lot of bills are card wallet. This is elephant.
Speaker 1: I'm killed on his way here, sliced off about how
Speaker 1: much money do I have? Is it one dollar? One dollar?
Speaker 1: I have one dollar times one dollar and I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what this is it looks like a hotel key.
Speaker 1: It's a bed bath and beyond coupon from the mail
Speaker 1: before they went out, He's like, I'm saving this one.
Speaker 1: We gotta get that tour going. Yeah, one dollar. So
Speaker 1: that's why we get people in Zurich. Oh yeah, every
Speaker 1: show I sold out across the world. Yep um okay,
Speaker 1: that's number one. Number two. Will Luke Combs open a
Speaker 1: bar in Nashville? I don't know. I'd like to plans yet,
Speaker 1: No plans, you know. Does Luke Combs hate or like
Speaker 1: the comparisons to Garth Brooks. I think indifferent, you know.
Speaker 1: I think people can't help but compare people. I think
Speaker 1: it's human nature, you know. I mean it's cool, right,
Speaker 1: I mean I would rather be compared to Garth Brooks
Speaker 1: than someone who had one it's ang or somebody never
Speaker 1: got a record deal. So I mean, if I had
Speaker 1: to choose a comparison, I would say I would I
Speaker 1: like that one. Nobody ever compares me to Garth Brooks.
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool to me. Finally, and I don't understand
Speaker 1: this question, so maybe there's some background to it that
Speaker 1: you can they're just an idiot. Well, Luke Hombs, ever
Speaker 1: reveal his songwriting pseudonym. Did you ever write under a
Speaker 1: different name? Um, I think I have. I have a
Speaker 1: cut on a Wheeler Walker Junior, Okay, which everybody wrote
Speaker 1: rescuing him for those under a pseudonym. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: being ask you to say what you get a joke?
Speaker 1: I mean it's you could you know, you could probably
Speaker 1: figure it out pretty easy. I would imagine, you know,
Speaker 1: because a lot there are a lot of people who
Speaker 1: wrote under their real names. Are there and your grandkids
Speaker 1: though you didn't want them to see that you wrote
Speaker 1: a song called real Sloppy Boobies right for sure? Yes,
Speaker 1: and that's not that song. But I know Ben, well,
Speaker 1: we learn a wheeler really well? So, um, did you
Speaker 1: write with with Ben? Yes? Isn't he like the nicest? Yeah? Really,
Speaker 1: most like quiet Reserve. He's like, yeah, absolutely, it's totally
Speaker 1: different than though, and then he goes into character and
Speaker 1: it's like I don't even know you, bro. Yeah yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: Luke the new records out, I will say this about you,
Speaker 1: and I would like for you to lend to this
Speaker 1: compliment if you don't mind. But I believe it's eighteen
Speaker 1: tracks you wrote A co wrote on fifteen of them.
Speaker 1: You are such in challenge a prominent songwriter aside from
Speaker 1: being the biggest artist. But that means there are a
Speaker 1: couple of songs that you put on the record that
Speaker 1: you didn't write, which shows your respect for songwriters in general. Sure,
Speaker 1: how did you decide to put on it? Because I
Speaker 1: know you did the Tracy Chamman song fast Bar at
Speaker 1: least two? Right, how did you decide to put on
Speaker 1: a song that you didn't write? Um? I just felt like,
Speaker 1: you know, I wasn't. It's not that I was ever
Speaker 1: against it, I think, and maybe I was. Maybe that
Speaker 1: you can pull an old interview clip where I was like,
Speaker 1: I'll never pute a song that I did. Play the
Speaker 1: clip where he says he hates other song, and maybe
Speaker 1: that maybe that clip does exist somewhere of meybeing like, well,
Speaker 1: I'll never put out a song that, um, that I
Speaker 1: didn't write. Maybe that is out there, But UM, all
Speaker 1: I can say is that, you know, I have a
Speaker 1: lot of really talented friends, and two guys that I
Speaker 1: write with really frequently are writers on on both of
Speaker 1: these two songs. And so one of them was written
Speaker 1: by Eric Church Johnson Singleton and Travis Meadows Um. Obviously
Speaker 1: everybody knows I'm a big Church fan. Jonathan produced this
Speaker 1: record with me and the last record with me, and
Speaker 1: I'm a huge, huge Travis Meadows fan. So when I
Speaker 1: heard that song, actually just like somebody got a hold
Speaker 1: in my email I got Jonathan didn't even send it
Speaker 1: to me, and your Eric didn't send it to me,
Speaker 1: like it was some third party that was like, hey,
Speaker 1: you should check this thing out. And I listened to
Speaker 1: it and just immediately was like, man, this is really great,
Speaker 1: so we should do it. And Jonathan was producing the record,
Speaker 1: so I asked him. I was like, man, we should
Speaker 1: do this, and he was like, yeah, dude, I loved
Speaker 1: I'd love for you to you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Obviously he was stoked about it. I think it's such
Speaker 1: a compliment to your ego in the way of you
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to do what you do if you
Speaker 1: didn't have a healthy one. Because even himself, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna please buy tickets. I'm I think you should
Speaker 1: buy tickets to watch me do this, or I think
Speaker 1: you spend your time you want to listen to my show.
Speaker 1: I have to have an ego to be successful, sure,
Speaker 1: because this is a nutty business. It is, no doubt,
Speaker 1: but there's some awareness and an ego check with you going,
Speaker 1: there's a couple songs that are really good that deserve
Speaker 1: to be on this. I don't have to write every
Speaker 1: song on the record. Yeah, without a doubt. You know,
Speaker 1: I think, is that getting old? I think so. I
Speaker 1: think I think there's definitely some maturity to that, you know,
Speaker 1: um to be able to understand that. You know, there's
Speaker 1: people that will always write better songs than you. You know,
Speaker 1: that's inevitable. You know, Um, there are days when you
Speaker 1: may write better songs than them. But they might write
Speaker 1: four hundred songs a year and you might I might
Speaker 1: write twenty or thirty. You know. So obviously there's gonna
Speaker 1: be songs out there that you know, are inevitably better
Speaker 1: than something that I could have wrote. Last question, by
Speaker 1: the way, a new album out today, Getting Old. It's
Speaker 1: a second it's just a new album, because it's confusing
Speaker 1: when I say it's a new album Getting Old, It's
Speaker 1: like it's like the sequel. Yeah. So final question, if
Speaker 1: I said, okay, look, Luke, they came to me yesterday
Speaker 1: and said I'm gonna die in an hour. If you
Speaker 1: don't write me, can you write a hit in an hour?
Speaker 1: Straight up? Guaranteed hit in one hour? Or gun? In
Speaker 1: my head, they're gonna kill me. I could write, I
Speaker 1: could write a something that I feel like was a hit.
Speaker 1: I felt like it was a hit in an hour.
Speaker 1: Whether that means it's a hit or not is yet
Speaker 1: to be seen. Okay, they just told me thirty minutes, Okay,
Speaker 1: thirty minutes a chance. Okay. I'm not sure who it was.
Speaker 1: They were in a mask, but I'm leaving it to you.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even start writing it. Sorry, Sorry, it's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen, all right. New records out today, Luke always
Speaker 1: good to see you, buddy. Likewise, thank y'all. It's the
Speaker 1: best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two, we
Speaker 1: caught up with Arkansas Keith this week. He's been visiting
Speaker 1: Bobby and his wife Caitlin. In case you don't know
Speaker 1: who Arkansas Keith is, he was once Bobby's stepdad, So
Speaker 1: he's been visiting this week for his grandson's spring break,
Speaker 1: and they've been having a whole lot of fun doing things.
Speaker 1: But they've also been playing a whole lot of ping
Speaker 1: pong which Arkansas Keith gave us the update on and
Speaker 1: he talked about retirement. So just super fun catching up
Speaker 1: with Arkansas Keith number six. Here's my stepdad for seven
Speaker 1: years or so. He's in my house right now. He's
Speaker 1: been staying with the last days. We're still very close.
Speaker 1: He lives in Arkansas. His name is Keith. That's what
Speaker 1: we call him, Arkansas Keith. Here he is Keith. Okay,
Speaker 1: my house right now here he is, Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 1: What are you guys doing right now? Poor in the
Speaker 1: poor tournament right now? What what do you mean poor tournament?
Speaker 1: You and you and your grandson? Yeah, pong tournament. Well,

Speaker 1: table to paint, fun table. All right, See you later
Speaker 1: man later by Arkansas Key, it's the best bits of
Speaker 1: the week with Morgan number two. I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: all a little bit of insider baseball right here. I
Speaker 1: believe that's what's called I don't know it. Sounds right,
Speaker 1: But Bobby shared his top three favorite radio singles on
Speaker 1: country radio right now. Now what this means is that
Speaker 1: these songs are currently at country radio. Not every song
Speaker 1: that artist puts out is sent to country radio. Take
Speaker 1: for example, Morgan Wallan, who just put out over thirty
Speaker 1: songs on an album. Not all of those songs are
Speaker 1: going to go to country radio. They're gonna send the
Speaker 1: ones that they feel best should be on country radio
Speaker 1: that they can get to fans and do all the
Speaker 1: streaming and all that exciting things. But not all of
Speaker 1: the songs will come here. So these three songs that
Speaker 1: Bobby chose are ones that are currently at country radio
Speaker 1: and he's been jamming to them. So just a little
Speaker 1: insider tip of what a single means rather than just
Speaker 1: a song that an artist puts out. And you're also
Speaker 1: only going to hear about five seconds of each of
Speaker 1: these songs right now because we don't want to go
Speaker 1: to podcast Jill and so we can't play the full clips.
Speaker 1: But you're still going to get the whole gist of it.
Speaker 1: And then if you really like the five second clip
Speaker 1: you hear, you can go watch it on YouTube or
Speaker 1: wherever you stream music. Number five, great email, And I
Speaker 1: didn't put this in the mail bag because it's going
Speaker 1: to take a full segment to go through this, but
Speaker 1: they're right. Hello, Bobby Bones. Orn't you mentioned the other
Speaker 1: day that you don't get to pick what songs are
Speaker 1: played on the radio. Just wondering which favorite song on
Speaker 1: the radio is right now? Signed justin. The deal is, yeah,
Speaker 1: the songs that are played. I don't program the music,
Speaker 1: but if I want to play something, I can. I
Speaker 1: just don't want to pick all the music. So but
Speaker 1: here are my three favorite radio singles right now. I
Speaker 1: mean the songs that they're trying to get to number
Speaker 1: one or move up the charts, etc. Number three, massive
Speaker 1: fan of her. She came on a podcast and she
Speaker 1: talked about being in town for twelve years before anything worked,
Speaker 1: and she was just grinding. She stayed the same style
Speaker 1: and people were like, that'll never work. That's two country,
Speaker 1: that'll never work. Well when you know she's super talented,
Speaker 1: and finally people you know, got their eyes and her
Speaker 1: ears checked. Her name's Haley Whitters. This is my third
Speaker 1: favorite song right now on the radio. This is called
Speaker 1: Everything She Ain't all Right. That was number three because
Speaker 1: the email said, what's your favorite song on the radio
Speaker 1: right now? That was Haley Whitters Everything she Ain't. Number
Speaker 1: two is Morgan Evans over for you. This song's real good.
Speaker 1: This song I think a lot of people can relate to,
Speaker 1: and it does have to be that same exact story,
Speaker 1: but that's a very similar story. And so many people
Speaker 1: messaging me going, I heard that song and I cry,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a wonderful written song. He sang,
Speaker 1: it's so good in the studio, it's my number two
Speaker 1: favorite radio song right now? How long has it been? Old?
Speaker 1: Honorable mention was Zach Bryan something in the Orange, which
Speaker 1: is an awesome song, but we still have number one
Speaker 1: to go. It's easy. What yeah up there? Now? That
Speaker 1: is not it on the list right here? Good? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It is a It is a really good one. Gets
Speaker 1: stuck in my head. What do you think? Hat a
Speaker 1: little up now? Like Dan maybe? And he guesses no,
Speaker 1: I say this. I saw her at the opera and
Speaker 1: she's so cool. We were walking by. I was taking
Speaker 1: Caitlyn's dad and grandpa and my wife Kaitlyn. We're walking
Speaker 1: around backsage at the opera. I was kind of given
Speaker 1: them the tour and she was in a room and
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, what's going on, and we were
Speaker 1: just gonna not bother the person because they're getting ready
Speaker 1: for a show. And they were like, no, come in,
Speaker 1: come in, come in, I'll meet everybody. And so they
Speaker 1: spent time with Caitlyn's grandpa, talked with him for a
Speaker 1: long time, Caitlyn's dad and then us, and then I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, we should go so you can get ready.
Speaker 1: They're like, well, okay, Like they're that cool. Okay. They
Speaker 1: played that song, the song who played they played in
Speaker 1: this studio and it was like, dang, that's real good. Dang,
Speaker 1: what is this different? Next level good? They huh, I'm
Speaker 1: using day as a as a I'm not saying here
Speaker 1: here she okay, I'm picturing multiple people, but yes, go ahead,
Speaker 1: anybody Morgan, Ashley McBride, that's it. Oh yeah, Ashley McBride
Speaker 1: and her new song light On in the Kitchen is
Speaker 1: my favorite song right now on the radio. So good.
Speaker 1: I love it. Always law in the Kitchen. It's the
Speaker 1: best Bits of the week with Morgan. Number two. Amy
Speaker 1: shared some personal news on the show last week, and
Speaker 1: this week she's sharing a little bit of what's happened
Speaker 1: in her life in the past year or so. One
Speaker 1: of those things being that she had to take a
Speaker 1: co parenting online class and it wasn't like optional, she
Speaker 1: had to take it to in order to do some
Speaker 1: the things that were happening. So this is Amy sharing
Speaker 1: what that whole experience was. Like Number four. Last week
Speaker 1: here Amy was talking about how she's getting a divorce
Speaker 1: and we were very sensitive to talking about it for
Speaker 1: a long time. There's a lot of reasons that we
Speaker 1: weren't able to talk about it, kids, legal stuff, privacy issues.
Speaker 1: But we did and it's out and a lot of
Speaker 1: people are reaching out there. They've been fantastic about at
Speaker 1: least to me from what I've seen, it been cool
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, anybody not been cool? I mean yeah.
Speaker 1: I try to just swipe on by did meet their
Speaker 1: name most people, and I feel like I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: see these comments are the ones that are like, oh man,
Speaker 1: I'm going through this too, and so that's where it's like,
Speaker 1: oh wow, Like it's because it's not easy to navigate,
Speaker 1: and I feel for anybody that's having to do it.
Speaker 1: And you know, some of the stuff that I've done
Speaker 1: over the last six months that I have not been
Speaker 1: able to talk about is like how I was really
Speaker 1: nervous I was going to fail my co parenting divorce
Speaker 1: course that I had to take. It's a four hours
Speaker 1: making you take it, you say, have to take the law.
Speaker 1: Oh really, so every stage it is different. But the
Speaker 1: state of Tennessee at least like when you go before
Speaker 1: like the judge. So there's courts that are looking at
Speaker 1: everything and this has to be completed and you have
Speaker 1: to pass a test after you take the four hour course.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't it's not one of those where you
Speaker 1: can just you know, act like you took the four hours.
Speaker 1: There's a timer, so it's timing. It knows yeah, each page,
Speaker 1: like you're on there until you've completed it and watched
Speaker 1: the videos. Kind of questions as though an example, well
Speaker 1: you watch so for example, it would be like you
Speaker 1: they take you through a scenario of a like a video,
Speaker 1: a reenactment or something of a family where the co
Speaker 1: parents are not being nice to each other and how
Speaker 1: they're handling the situation is not necessarily going to be
Speaker 1: beneficial for the kids, and you have to watch the
Speaker 1: whole scenes so you know, like hey, then the question
Speaker 1: would be like, hey, what did you know the dad
Speaker 1: stay wrong in this case? Like what could he have
Speaker 1: done better? And then you pick the answer. But sometimes
Speaker 1: I felt like my core like believed like stuff I
Speaker 1: believe in how I would handle it. It was a
Speaker 1: little bit different than I guess what the law is saying.
Speaker 1: So I was so nervous I was going to answer
Speaker 1: stuff wrong. I only missed two questions though, how do
Speaker 1: have any I don't remember four? That's what I was
Speaker 1: gonna say. Oh no, it was a full blown test,
Speaker 1: like it was four hours over fifty questions. Well, probably
Speaker 1: how'd you feel about the acting in the scenes? Well
Speaker 1: I thought that people, Well what I wanted to know
Speaker 1: it's I'm assuming it was reenacting. Yeah, I had to
Speaker 1: be let us know when the kids no, no, no.
Speaker 1: What I meant to say was I know they're reenacting,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if these are like real families
Speaker 1: that they pulled their husband and wives where they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: we know you're going through this. This is awesome. Oh
Speaker 1: really yeah they did a good job that I was
Speaker 1: gonna ask did you watch it and we're like this
Speaker 1: corny acting. Maybe that's a good guy could get Well,
Speaker 1: that's good. Somebody who's getting divorced see it. It's like, wow, look,
Speaker 1: has anything happened with your acting career. No, I'm still
Speaker 1: taking lessons, but I have not auditioned for anything either.
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to get through some big life things
Speaker 1: right now. But I'm still consistent in my practice and
Speaker 1: that's important to me. Was missing two questions. It's still
Speaker 1: a past test, right, Yeah, I've passed, so that was good.
Speaker 1: So I've got that and you know, you know Ben
Speaker 1: how to do it too, and we're co parenting in
Speaker 1: a way that I think that course actually helped us too.
Speaker 1: It taught us a lot, but so did our co
Speaker 1: parenting therapists or counselor. And the kids are the main priority.
Speaker 1: What if you don't take the test, they make you
Speaker 1: get back together like the law, Sorry, you have to
Speaker 1: do it. But if you don't, like, well looks like
Speaker 1: you got to be married. Still. Well, so even once
Speaker 1: you file, there's like a ninety day, like nothing can
Speaker 1: really happen even for ninety days because they want you to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so to make sure nobody's filing out of any sort
Speaker 1: of you know, angst or anger or anything. And I
Speaker 1: wonder how many people that ninety days actually works for
Speaker 1: them to Oh, I'm sure a lot. Yeah yeah, but
Speaker 1: can you imagine if you did it was an instant
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I'll take a divorce please, and I'll take
Speaker 1: some guawk and then all of a sudden, okay, you
Speaker 1: did out all the time. What I don't understand though,
Speaker 1: is like when we had kids, you know, when we
Speaker 1: were just like parenting to begin with, we don't have
Speaker 1: to take a test. We should take a test when
Speaker 1: we just have the first kid, not just like they
Speaker 1: should lock up our private parts and they can't unlock
Speaker 1: until you take a test about having kids. Right. Well,
Speaker 1: so that's how I felt about the adoption process. Like
Speaker 1: if I was able to get pregnant, which we had
Speaker 1: fertility stuff so I wasn't, But if I had been,
Speaker 1: I would have just walla had a baby. But adoption, no,
Speaker 1: I had to like all kinds of things, paper work, this,
Speaker 1: that homestead. They can control that, right, And I get it.
Speaker 1: That's valid. You can't just be handing out kids to people, right,
Speaker 1: But it is a little like sometimes it's just we
Speaker 1: need will you have a baby, take a test before
Speaker 1: you have it? Wila. Again, you don't get the key
Speaker 1: to your private right until that's what it is. We're
Speaker 1: all wearing contraptions around our waist, all right, and then
Speaker 1: you know, don't you don't have one on one days
Speaker 1: gratulations for you? Yeah, I only got two wrong. We're
Speaker 1: all good on that front. Yeah, Just for anyone that's
Speaker 1: frustrated by the process of having to take a co
Speaker 1: parenting or divorce course online like mandatory it Actually you
Speaker 1: can learn from it. So lean in, ask questions, want
Speaker 1: to be better, because then you can be amicable. There
Speaker 1: you go, heard it from her. Maybe if you're the
Speaker 1: more you know, it's the best Bits of the week
Speaker 1: with Morgan. Number two an awesome interview on the show.
Speaker 1: This week we had Three Doors Down and Candlebox stop by.
Speaker 1: Well Brad from Three Doors Down and Kevin from Candlebox.

Speaker 1: of their songs, but they also talked about their joint
Speaker 1: tour which just got announced this week. Super exciting news
Speaker 1: and we just love both of these guys. They were
Speaker 1: super fun and shared a lot of their cool stories.
Speaker 1: They are rock stars, so they have a lot of
Speaker 1: fun stories to share. So here's that interview with Bobby
Speaker 1: number three on the Bobby Bones Show. Now Brad Arnold
Speaker 1: of Three Doors Down and Kevin Martin enough Candle Box.
Speaker 1: You know, guys, I know we're here today to announce
Speaker 1: a tour and this is basically the only tour I
Speaker 1: would ever pay money for. Yes, I just want you
Speaker 1: guys to know, like when I know, Brad, bradut that
Speaker 1: we're friends. Now, if I saw you get the grocery store,
Speaker 1: I go up to and be like, what up, buddy? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: but Kevin, I had met you. Yeah, but I grew
Speaker 1: up you know, listening to the Candlebox like crazy. So
Speaker 1: it's really really great to spend time with you here.
Speaker 1: When they said you guys were willing to come in,
Speaker 1: I said, how much will it costs? Me? Like that's
Speaker 1: how big a fan I am. So Brad, let's start
Speaker 1: with this Three Doors Down going out doing the tour
Speaker 1: and how do you find and Kevin and Candle Box, Like,
Speaker 1: how did this tour come together? Well, we actually played
Speaker 1: a show together last year. It was last year, and
Speaker 1: I think we talked about a little bit then and uh,
Speaker 1: the time and kind of work definitely, and we're both
Speaker 1: going out this summer and I couldn't think of a
Speaker 1: better combination. When they asked me about it, I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: because who's they who? Well, I guess yeah, people got it?
Speaker 1: Are people called it? Because whoever they are like it?
Speaker 1: Like whoever they are like it? And so when you
Speaker 1: guys go do these shows, why are you playing any
Speaker 1: new music at all? We all we actually are trying.
Speaker 1: We're playing We have one song that we put together
Speaker 1: just on the last tour, and uh, we need to
Speaker 1: put a couple more together between now and NIM will
Speaker 1: see how that goes. But we will play a little
Speaker 1: bit of new media too much though, that's my point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not too much. Did you know, just a little bit
Speaker 1: if you got something exactly, but you know, one or
Speaker 1: two and then we nostalgia owl exactly. That's I mean, Kevin, So,
Speaker 1: how you know we listen to Candlebox growing up? Your
Speaker 1: voice to me was that of like a quiet intensity,
Speaker 1: like together constantly. Didn't know where I was gonna go.
Speaker 1: How in the world, because I have so many friends
Speaker 1: that are now forty forty five that used to sing
Speaker 1: and they have to like sing hard anymore? How are
Speaker 1: you not talking your songs at this point? Um? I
Speaker 1: drink a lot of whiskey. Um, And that's no lie.
Speaker 1: I mean I I years ago. You know, I never
Speaker 1: did a lot of drugs or anything. And I started
Speaker 1: singing when I was six years old and choir and
Speaker 1: I always sang all the way through high school because
Speaker 1: you know, it's nice to have that elective that you know,
Speaker 1: you don't really have to pay attention to. But I
Speaker 1: never really wanted to be a singing rock band, and
Speaker 1: I was a drummer, and I got kind of stuck
Speaker 1: with this gig with Canterbox. And that's no lie, That's
Speaker 1: why I get stuck with the gig. Yeah, I got
Speaker 1: stuck with the gig as the lead singer of a
Speaker 1: reluctant lead singer of a rock and roll band. So
Speaker 1: the first record, I didn't really know what I was doing,
Speaker 1: and I went through a lot of issues with my
Speaker 1: voice because I just didn't understand how to perform live.
Speaker 1: And then over the years getting used to what what
Speaker 1: I was capable of doing with it and understanding how
Speaker 1: it worked, and getting away from you know, liquors that
Speaker 1: are like Vodkas or whatever that kind of draw your
Speaker 1: voice out. I started drinking whiskey in like two nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety eight and it changed everything. Now I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: joking like with a lot of which making a note
Speaker 1: here start during a whiskey today after the show. But
Speaker 1: I do I have you know, I sip on it
Speaker 1: during during the shows and I found that it helps.
Speaker 1: But I do take care of it. Man. I don't smoke,
Speaker 1: I don't do drugs, and I'm relatively healthy. Kevin, are
Speaker 1: you ever anywhere? And because I know the answer for Brad,
Speaker 1: because I hear it every time I'm in Kroger three
Speaker 1: doors down. It's like rocking on time. You ever somewhere
Speaker 1: and you hear your A Canna Walks song, You're like, dang,
Speaker 1: this is like a family place. Now. Back in the day,
Speaker 1: this would have never been played. It that John's pizzeria. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard it once in a Walmart. It's funny. It's
Speaker 1: always far behind. I mean, you know, it's that's the song.
Speaker 1: It's been paying my rent for thirty plus years now,
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, I do, and it's it still feels good.
Speaker 1: I remember the first time I heard it. We were
Speaker 1: outside of Seattle. We were in Las Vegas and m
Speaker 1: it came on the radio station and you know, there's
Speaker 1: nothing like that feeling when you hear your song on
Speaker 1: the radio the first time and he's like, man, I've
Speaker 1: made it, And even if you don't, it's just somebody
Speaker 1: else is playing your song, and uh, it's a weird feeling,
Speaker 1: but it's funny when you're in a grocery store stick.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, Brad with three Doors down, what
Speaker 1: were the lean years like when it was I don't
Speaker 1: know if we're gonna be able to do this, like, well,
Speaker 1: how is the living? Were in a van. We were
Speaker 1: pretty blessed to always, you know, when Kryptonite came out,
Speaker 1: it was successful pretty quick, you know. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, you know, nine months from that, we were
Speaker 1: prepared to quit because we had been a pretty successful
Speaker 1: little local band. Even though we never toured and we
Speaker 1: were from a little town, we did really good around there.
Speaker 1: And when kind of like you know, you go through
Speaker 1: phases and epend it kind of gets wore out on it.
Speaker 1: You know, me and Matt our original guitar player, we
Speaker 1: were both like six months away. Was like, all right,
Speaker 1: if we don't do something pretty quick and we have
Speaker 1: something substantial happening, we're gonna go to college. And because
Speaker 1: we were just teenagers and by the grace of God
Speaker 1: within that time, like uh CPRN down in Mississippi started
Speaker 1: playing the song and it became a hit and we
Speaker 1: got signed and and I mean, but we were we
Speaker 1: were on the vertical of giving up ourselves. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't hear your accent when you sing that, which
Speaker 1: is we British people too. For the most part, they'll
Speaker 1: be like, why why go? And I'm singing there like hello,
Speaker 1: here I am today. Do you ever hear that? People
Speaker 1: talk to you and they're like, I didn't expect you
Speaker 1: to be so country time. I feel like if you
Speaker 1: guys came out now, you would be like a country,
Speaker 1: like a rock. Like if you existed right now, it's
Speaker 1: three doors down, brand new, you'd be here. We would
Speaker 1: be absolutely absolutely well, Kevin, that's not the case with
Speaker 1: you guys. You guys would still be going. You're not
Speaker 1: You're from like the Northwest though, right, well I was.
Speaker 1: I was born in Chicago, but I was raised in
Speaker 1: the South. I grew up in San Antonio, Texas. Oh
Speaker 1: you did. Yeah, So every now and then you'll hear
Speaker 1: me slip into a little bit of y'all and notnot.
Speaker 1: But I moved to Seattle when I was fourteen in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four, and um, and that was my dad
Speaker 1: took a job with an old boss and that was
Speaker 1: And at the first concert I saw there was Chris
Speaker 1: Cornell playing drums with Sound Garden as a three piece,
Speaker 1: and he was singing like a banshee and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: what is going on in this city? You know? And uh,
Speaker 1: and that was it for me. I was immediately enamored
Speaker 1: and inspired by just great music from that beautiful little town.
Speaker 1: I feel like you guys came out and you could
Speaker 1: correct me, because this is how any note like after
Speaker 1: the whole grunge thing happened, and I felt like you
Speaker 1: guys were kind of unfairly compared to it because it
Speaker 1: wasn't really the exactly the same time, but because you
Speaker 1: were from Seattle, people like, it's another Seattle band. Did
Speaker 1: do you feel like that? Is that observation is somewhat accurate?
Speaker 1: Very accurate. I mean, it was an easy label to
Speaker 1: throw on a band like Candlebox because the whole city
Speaker 1: was considered grunge. You know, we're we're about five years
Speaker 1: in age younger than a lot of those guys as well,
Speaker 1: so you know, I was sixteen years old working in
Speaker 1: a shoe store when Chris Cornell was coming in to
Speaker 1: get flyers to hang up on the walls. You know.
Speaker 1: So we did come around a lot later than those guys,
Speaker 1: so it hindered a little bit of our career. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, we were never media darlings like the rest
Speaker 1: of the grunge band, so it kind of was like
Speaker 1: we kind of had to beat our beat the door
Speaker 1: down ourselves, which was fun, you know. I mean here
Speaker 1: we are thirty years later, still doing it. But everything
Speaker 1: about turning into a boy band though about that time too,
Speaker 1: you could have easily flipped over it and learn to dance.
Speaker 1: I should have. Did you you ever sing any other
Speaker 1: kind of music? Like? Growing up? Like inquired? Like you
Speaker 1: probably could have been a good, uh stage singer? Did
Speaker 1: you do that at all? I'm a first tenor. Um,
Speaker 1: I did a lot of I did a lot of
Speaker 1: drama in high school because it was where the girls were. Um.
Speaker 1: I always took the electives where there were girls. UM.
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of so um. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: sang in drama, UM, and I sang in choir. I did.
Speaker 1: I've done pieces in Italian French. I did a barbershop
Speaker 1: quartet with my brother, which was a lot of fun
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. You know, did you have
Speaker 1: to drop all that once you guys got cool in
Speaker 1: candlebox because you don't want to I don't want to
Speaker 1: see a candleboxing in a barbershop quartet, I'll be oyest
Speaker 1: not that time. No, I was. I stopped that right
Speaker 1: around the age of seventeen. Yeah, when you are in
Speaker 1: a band that is coming from Seattle and obviously you
Speaker 1: have all those influences around, you were able to see
Speaker 1: them as a kid, like did you ever see Nirvana
Speaker 1: play what did Yeah? So I saw them play Radio Shack,
Speaker 1: the notorious video tape that's going around that was down
Speaker 1: in Tacoma. Um. I saw a lot of the early
Speaker 1: Screaming Trees, gigs, Um Grunt Truck, Skinyard sound Garden, saw
Speaker 1: the movie. I was at the Mookie Blaylock show when
Speaker 1: they par Jam. Yeah, I mean it. You know, at
Speaker 1: the time, a lot of people just assumed that Seattle
Speaker 1: was this massive metropolis. It was a tiny little town man,
Speaker 1: and it's like you know, you, I think when I
Speaker 1: moved there, maybe a million people in the entire Seattle community.
Speaker 1: But all the venues were within a mile of one another,
Speaker 1: so a lot of them were all ages venues which
Speaker 1: you could go and see these bands play, and some
Speaker 1: of them that were bars you'd have to have a
Speaker 1: fake ID to sneak into. But yeah, I was. I
Speaker 1: was fortunate enough. And like I said, I worked at
Speaker 1: Fluevog Shoes, which was where Susan Silver, who had Silver Management.
Speaker 1: She was managing Alice and Chains, Sound Garden, Screaming Trees,
Speaker 1: a bunch of those bands. I worked with her. So
Speaker 1: those guys all come in to get flyers and stuff
Speaker 1: for the shows, and that's how I met a lot
Speaker 1: of those musicians as well. Brad, you're putting this towards
Speaker 1: the three Doors down away from the sign anniversary tour
Speaker 1: with Candlebox. How long who goes? Do you have a
Speaker 1: like a baby that comes on first? Or does it
Speaker 1: go straight Candlebox? That maybe too much for me. It's
Speaker 1: a it's just it's wow, that's it. Huh, That's it's straight,
Speaker 1: like let's go. Ye. So they're early yeah, yeah, So
Speaker 1: when the ticket says the show starting, you want to
Speaker 1: be there for that part show starting? YEA twenty five
Speaker 1: minutes after you missed the baby. So, Brad, you've been
Speaker 1: playing with these these guys, obviously with three doors down
Speaker 1: for a long time. Can you guys just like look
Speaker 1: at each other and do a chin move or an
Speaker 1: here and then you know, now you've communicated so much
Speaker 1: over such a long period of time, a little bit
Speaker 1: like or like you get them look like it was
Speaker 1: a wrong note? That's a song. Wrong note? Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: more wrong notes. Does that ever happen where you look like?
Speaker 1: What was that? Yeah? Are you? Are you the alpha? Uh? No,
Speaker 1: I think we're all just kind of Rod's kind of there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if there, if there's an alpha, I think in our band,
Speaker 1: it's it's great. Our drummer who'll just take a trophy
Speaker 1: has to Yes, yes, he's We definitely looked at him
Speaker 1: to be the band leader. Do they ever talk? Do
Speaker 1: you guys talk to each other on the mic? Not
Speaker 1: where the crowd can hear it. I'm always concerned that
Speaker 1: microll you gonna put something out, So we've stopped using
Speaker 1: that because I'd be like, hey, Eddie, h fans, I
Speaker 1: can see a winner. I'm afraid that I'll go over
Speaker 1: the top, So we stop using that. Now I have
Speaker 1: one back there by Gregg that I have a little
Speaker 1: stalt box that I can talk to my monitor guy.
Speaker 1: The band guys can't hear me, but my monitor guy
Speaker 1: and my front of house guy can hear me, because sometimes, um, sometimes,
Speaker 1: you know, I have a lot to say to my
Speaker 1: monitor guy sometimes. And I have a new monitor guy,
Speaker 1: and I have a lot of nice things to say
Speaker 1: to him, and I in the past I've had some
Speaker 1: less than nice things to say, But I like sometimes
Speaker 1: I'm one of my pit peeves is when my feet
Speaker 1: start vibrating. If the sub starts running too hard, I
Speaker 1: can kind of it messes with a die from of
Speaker 1: the mic, and sometimes it messes with your vocal chords,
Speaker 1: you know, just so much vibration. So if I can
Speaker 1: fill it through my feet, I'd be like, hey, hey, Curtis,
Speaker 1: you want to back down a little bit, buddy, you know?
Speaker 1: And he will and U that's the only people that
Speaker 1: can hear through mine. What song does this? The three
Speaker 1: Doors down crowd sing back the loudest um say here
Speaker 1: without You and Kryptonite. The thing about here without you
Speaker 1: is who sings it back? Because here and there we've
Speaker 1: got stuck on some shows, and uh that really, if
Speaker 1: you just looked at the list, you're like three Doors
Speaker 1: Down is all that. But you know, on those shows
Speaker 1: we play some of our deeper stuff on our records,
Speaker 1: and some of our deeper stuff a little heavier than
Speaker 1: stuff you hear, and so it we fit in those
Speaker 1: shows just fine. But it's so awesome to see like
Speaker 1: this big, gnarly like biker looking just like rip your arms, dude.
Speaker 1: He will be the most fervent singer of here without
Speaker 1: you in the crowd. It's amazing, Brad. We play some
Speaker 1: here without you. We will all right here, Brad here,
Speaker 1: Brad Arnold from Three Doors Down. By the way, we're
Speaker 1: announcing the big tour right now. It's the Three Doors
Speaker 1: Down away from the Sun Anniversary tour with Candlebox. I
Speaker 1: will be there. Are you guys coming here? We are? Okay? Good? Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, I'll be there. I don't know where.

Speaker 1: favorite artists. All right, here we go, this is m Ray.
Speaker 1: We good. Now are you slip into the second verse?
Speaker 1: Still intense as ever? Come on, sound good. I'm worried
Speaker 1: asking that guys, just seeing this early in the morning.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'll just talk to him. You give
Speaker 1: me goosebumps, man. When you killing it, dude, I'm singing
Speaker 1: it like four times in the car on the way
Speaker 1: in it down. That's what I did have a morning
Speaker 1: driving into the show. I mean, like talking to myself.
Speaker 1: People I think I'm crazy because I'm also loosening up.
Speaker 1: I got hours and hours of the show to do.
Speaker 1: All right, there he is Brad Arnold from Three Doors Down.
Speaker 1: A nice shot. Okay, Kevin, let's switch it up. It's
Speaker 1: your turn now. Baby, that's what I call him, baby, Baby, Listen,
Speaker 1: I grew up. It's the first time we've had Kevin
Speaker 1: in from Candlebox, and Brad's been so gracious to play
Speaker 1: like shows with us and be on this show. And
Speaker 1: we did that. You've been so gracious to have me.
Speaker 1: We did the Three Doors Down anniversary of the album together.
Speaker 1: We shot that. So I'm a I'm a big big
Speaker 1: Brad fan, big three Doors Down fan, big big Bobby's fan.
Speaker 1: To Kevin, I need you to be a big Bobby fan. Now,
Speaker 1: I tell you what I think. I'm all right, so
Speaker 1: I like to hear what you do. Um, can you
Speaker 1: do like a verse and chorus so far behind. Absolutely absolutely,
Speaker 1: I'd have dropped that like five times. I feel like
Speaker 1: no fear, no fear jump right in. Hey Kevin, are
Speaker 1: you OCD type guy? I am, I'm very I very
Speaker 1: much am so where I'm trying to fix it a
Speaker 1: little bit. So with you and your ocity tendencies. Are
Speaker 1: they cleaning? Are they straightening? What is it that's affecting you?
Speaker 1: It's pretty much everything for me, Like I on the bus.
Speaker 1: I don't know about y'all, but like we have I
Speaker 1: send out specific rules, no shoes in the hallway, nothing
Speaker 1: left on account. You go full me mall. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's full on, like and I have a special glass
Speaker 1: cleaner spray that I use on countertops and everything. It's

Speaker 1: ionizers on the bus to keep people from getting sick.
Speaker 1: It's good for you. I'm super super crazy. I'm a
Speaker 1: bigger fan, a bigger fan. Um So Lunchbucks here doesn't
Speaker 1: know a lot about music. It doesn't even like music
Speaker 1: really in general. It's heard that song before. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: know he doesn't care about music. He's like when he runs,
Speaker 1: he runs to nothing, He's just it's just bizarre. Had
Speaker 1: him a beautiful man, I had him. Watched the wood
Speaker 1: Stock sixty nine, Yes, and then you watched the one
Speaker 1: on was it not? What did you watch ninety nine?
Speaker 1: I've watched part of it, which was the crazy Were
Speaker 1: you at ninety nine? Were you? Oh? You were ninety four?
Speaker 1: So what was ninety four? Like? It was amazing? It
Speaker 1: was awesome. Yeah, it was beautiful man. Well, we we
Speaker 1: were on tour with Metallic at the time, so we
Speaker 1: we had to get there from because they added Friday
Speaker 1: Night at the last minute, so it was like bands
Speaker 1: like collect A Soul Live Us and then the Violent Films.
Speaker 1: We were the headliners on Friday Night, so we had
Speaker 1: to get from Kansas City to um to wherever that
Speaker 1: I think it was not Woodstock, New York, but we
Speaker 1: I think it was even further north um by Friday
Speaker 1: from a Wednesday and the Metallic was playing Saturday night,
Speaker 1: so we kind of had to rush ourselves there. But
Speaker 1: I remember I stayed up most of the two day
Speaker 1: drive because I was so excited. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: exciting touring with Metallica, but like I knew I was
Speaker 1: going to play this amazing three hundred thousand people show,
Speaker 1: Like I couldn't sleep, man, I was. I was so
Speaker 1: excited to get there. And we got there and they
Speaker 1: wouldn't let you watch the other bands because the stage
Speaker 1: would turn and they wanted you to experience the three
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people wave of excitement. Man, it was one time.
Speaker 1: It was beyond Yeah. I will never ever ever forget it.
Speaker 1: Did you have any friends that played that disaster ninety
Speaker 1: nine one? Well, yeah, a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: the bands that played it, we were close to what
Speaker 1: did they call you and be like, yo, dude'd be
Speaker 1: glad you aren't here. No, but if you'd run into
Speaker 1: him on the road afterwards, like you know, months later,
Speaker 1: to be dude, that was a mess, you know. But
Speaker 1: I think it was just you know, when you're when
Speaker 1: you're greedy like that and you're going for the money
Speaker 1: and you are charging what they were charging, like ten
Speaker 1: dollars from bottles of water or something something stupid. Even
Speaker 1: they do now at every NFL game. We're like, no,
Speaker 1: man's yeah, but it was. Yeah. I did. The guys
Speaker 1: in the Offspring we played a show with them about

Speaker 1: tour in a while, because if you said no, I
Speaker 1: wasn't coming. He's like, I know, we're playing no hits,
Speaker 1: deep cuts. Nobody knows if we're thinking about maybe, of
Speaker 1: course playing the hits and stuff, but last year and
Speaker 1: we're not gonna do it quite like we did one
Speaker 1: of the Middle Life twentieth year anniversary. We played the
Speaker 1: entire record, just front to back. We played other stuff too,
Speaker 1: thinking about doing that in some dimension, maybe like playing
Speaker 1: the whole record, but just slicing some other stuff in
Speaker 1: there as well. But it's kind of fun to do
Speaker 1: it like that. Um, it's kind of weird sometimes too.

Speaker 1: appropriate given that we're in March madness time and a
Speaker 1: lot of exciting sports are going on. We did a draft,
Speaker 1: and everybody loves the Bobby Bone Show drafts, but this
Speaker 1: one was of hard words to spell. Listen, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of hard words that are really difficult for me
Speaker 1: to just speak, let alone spell. So I had a
Speaker 1: little flow up during the draft, and I would like
Speaker 1: nobody to hold that against me. That's all I'm gonna say. Okay, yep,
Speaker 1: thank you. Number one time for a draft, we're drafting
Speaker 1: words that are hard to spell. Amy first overall pick
Speaker 1: in the draft? What word are you drafting? Is the
Speaker 1: word that is hard to spell. I feel like everyone
Speaker 1: will feel me on this one restaurant. Yeah, oh come on,
Speaker 1: that'd have been my first pick. It's my one. So
Speaker 1: what we'll do is we'll I'll pick these little teams
Speaker 1: of three and then you vote Bobby Bones dot com.
Speaker 1: It's very easy that don't just pick the one best word,
Speaker 1: it's the whole team. Yeah, lunchbox, words that are hard
Speaker 1: to spell? You have the second pick, what do you have? Yeah, vacuum.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good when the WU gets me. Sometimes I

Speaker 1: know that. I couldn't tell you. I didn't know if
Speaker 1: it had two cs and two US. I don't know, Eddie. Look, guys,
Speaker 1: the hard part about this game was I wrote everything down,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know how to spell any of them.
Speaker 1: So nice, this is the hardest one phenomenon. Let's try.
Speaker 1: Let me try him try can do it? Oh, it

Speaker 1: phenomenon I N O M. Yeah, I don't know. Man, Oh, good,
Speaker 1: we go good? Whoever uses that word? I don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't try to spell that phenomenon. I'm never I
Speaker 1: don't realise that that's what I'm saying. I definitely don't
Speaker 1: write it, or if I do, it's only on my
Speaker 1: computer so I can tell me and then I try
Speaker 1: to hit it and make it correct, just to give
Speaker 1: me the morgan, what do you got? I don't eat this,
Speaker 1: but I can never spell it when writing, and everybody
Speaker 1: always has an argument there there are two different ways
Speaker 1: to spell it and it's blone. That's a good one.
Speaker 1: That's good. Logney's a good one, not b o l o.
Speaker 1: Any Y has a first name, it's oh no, that's

Speaker 1: a stupid song. Okay, it's to me. I have the
Speaker 1: final pick. I'm gonna pick charcuterie. Oh, isn't a charcuterie board?
Speaker 1: That's impossible, and some I don't even how to say it. Really,
Speaker 1: you go to the restaurant. I think I'm saying it
Speaker 1: right now because I've been practicing it. Is that you
Speaker 1: say it? Charcuterie, Yeah, charcuterie, charcuterie boards. Cheese is basically meat.
Speaker 1: You get meat on a charcuter and cheese. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a or nuts. It's like a spread SHARKOUTI is my
Speaker 1: first overall pick. I'd probably say that more than I
Speaker 1: say phenomenon if I'm being honest. It's true. All right,
