Speaker 1: Hey guys.
Speaker 2: Sunday Sampler time on the Sore Losers. They talk about
Speaker 2: stories from their vacation. We'll get to that. On the
Speaker 2: Bobby Cast, I talked with the Legend Americana and Texas
Speaker 2: Legend Robert Earl Keene. He opened up about why he
Speaker 2: decided to retire from the road after forty one years
Speaker 2: of touring. But we have a new podcast on the network.
Speaker 2: It's so good. It's called In the Vets Office with
Speaker 2: Doctor Josie. Abby Smyers. She is Dan Smyers, his wife
Speaker 2: from Dan and Jay. They talked about their dog and
Speaker 2: how their dog was sick. So they took the dog
Speaker 2: to the vet. The vet was like, no, dog's fine,
Speaker 2: and so I took the dog to another vet, which
Speaker 2: was doctor Josie. Doctor Josie was like, no, the dog
Speaker 2: guess cancer and they're going through chemo. They talk about
Speaker 2: animals and Dan and Shay and they talk about rescue.
Speaker 2: It's a really great episode. Here's a clip of In
Speaker 2: the Vets Office with Doctor Josie.
Speaker 3: Help.
Speaker 4: Welcome to in the Vets Office, Abby Smiers. Hi, I'm
Speaker 4: so excited to have you here.
Speaker 3: So happy to be here. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: You're welcome Anne today.
Speaker 4: As everyone knows perfect, she sat right on cue. This
Speaker 4: podcast is biod and she brought with her the lovely Macaroni.
Speaker 3: This is Macaroni. She's so good. Yes, yes, Macaroni. We
Speaker 3: call her mac. She has the best ear. She's perfect
Speaker 3: in every way. Yeah, one ear, crazy straight up.
Speaker 1: One year down. You actually have attached to it her
Speaker 1: little years. I love that.
Speaker 3: My friend Andrew drew it for me and then I
Speaker 3: got it tattooed because I love.
Speaker 4: Her ears so much. It's so cute. So we have
Speaker 4: a lot of ground to cover today. Before we dive in,
Speaker 4: I have to tell one of my favorite stories about you.
Speaker 4: Abby and I really like to walk our dogs together.
Speaker 4: And I think it was last summer, whatever, last year
Speaker 4: sometime you text me about twenty minutes before we're supposed
Speaker 4: to go on our walk and you're like, I'm so sorry,
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be able to come over.
Speaker 1: Here's why.
Speaker 4: And you send me a picture and it's this tiny
Speaker 4: newborn baby deer, the.
Speaker 3: Cutest thing that's ever existed. It was so cute, it was.
Speaker 4: So cute, and I'm like, whatever you do, do not
Speaker 4: come on this walk.
Speaker 1: You must stand vigil safe over this deer.
Speaker 3: It did not need any saving, and I learned, Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I thought I needed saving.
Speaker 4: But you stayed in your house all day, yeah, watching
Speaker 4: this baby deer.
Speaker 3: Yes, because I was so concerned something was gonna happen
Speaker 3: to it. And it's the cutest thing you've ever seen. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I also am so I love deer. I think they're
Speaker 3: just really magical.
Speaker 4: And Abby has a water bowl out you guys in
Speaker 4: her front yard for deer.
Speaker 3: We're in a drought.
Speaker 1: We're in a drought. We're in a drought.
Speaker 3: How are they gonna find?
Speaker 4: And honestly, the last night, one of the last times
Speaker 4: I was over your ring doorbell camera, your outdoor camera
Speaker 4: picked up a deer drinking out of the water bowl.
Speaker 3: You were the first person to ever see them because
Speaker 3: they never use it. They just like look at it
Speaker 3: and consider drinking it and never do. And then finally
Speaker 3: my hard work paid off.
Speaker 1: I was kind of like laughing at you in my head.
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, all right, like a deer's gonna drink
Speaker 4: out of this bowl and then sure enough it did.
Speaker 1: Okay, anyways, back to the baby deer, and you're like,
Speaker 1: what do I do? I'm like, I don't know. They
Speaker 1: don't cheach us this in bet school.
Speaker 3: I'm recognizing that we're going to be talking about animals
Speaker 3: and I'm like automatically using this like way higher voice.
Speaker 1: And when I'm talking to animals and it's I love it.
Speaker 1: So you called a wildlife person.
Speaker 3: I did because I had never been around a baby deer.
Speaker 3: I love them, but I and it was I don't know.
Speaker 3: It was just in a very strange spot where our
Speaker 3: house was situated. There wasn't anywhere for the mom to
Speaker 3: really go, so I didn't know why I would have
Speaker 3: left the baby there. It was a very weird spot
Speaker 3: to leave it, and so I thought it was abandoned.
Speaker 3: But lo and behold called a wonderful wild deer wildlife rehab.
Speaker 3: Her name is Deborah. It lest you first, I have
Speaker 3: her contact now in my phone and it has her birthday,
Speaker 3: so I always know when her birthday is too.
Speaker 1: I never talked to her again, but I know when
Speaker 1: her birthday is and.
Speaker 3: It says like what age too, that's amazing, But love
Speaker 3: her and she told me so. Now that everyone knows
Speaker 3: this about baby deer, if they are laying still, which
Speaker 3: this one was completely silent and with their head down.
Speaker 3: They're doing exactly by nature what they were born to do.
Speaker 3: So when they're born, they are born odorless and silent,
Speaker 3: and mom is obviously not so she leaves to go feed,
Speaker 3: and they are protected because predators cannot find them. I mean,
Speaker 3: my dogs had no idea that it was there. The
Speaker 3: whole day I did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, of course, I've never set a camera.
Speaker 3: I ustar Ferbo camera and moved it from the dog's
Speaker 3: room and so I could like watch them outside.
Speaker 4: I got an update like every forty five minutes. It
Speaker 4: was amazing and it was so cute, and so then
Speaker 4: later that evening you're happy you let your dogs out,
Speaker 4: is when it goes down. You let your dogs out
Speaker 4: into the front yard.
Speaker 3: Yep, do you use the restroom. They had no idea
Speaker 3: the deer was there. The deer was on the sideyard.
Speaker 3: No big deal. I have been watching this thing all
Speaker 3: day like my own child.
Speaker 4: And it's mother, Yeah, I was its mother. And then
Speaker 4: and then you found out that it had a clearly.
Speaker 1: Do not trust me.
Speaker 3: Yes, Mom came flying out of nowhere, truly out of nowhere.
Speaker 4: Jumps yours do jumps your massive fence, You guys, this
Speaker 4: is caught on her camera her front house, like security footage.
Speaker 4: You're out there and then all of a sudden you
Speaker 4: can see Dan come running outside.
Speaker 3: Well, I was in the living room and I could
Speaker 3: hear him yelling no, no, no, and I thought the
Speaker 3: dogs are going after something, because they've been known to
Speaker 3: chase a bunny or two. And he I can just
Speaker 3: hear him screaming. I look out the window and I
Speaker 3: see the mom in the front yard chasing the dogs.
Speaker 3: He's chasing the deer. And it's I mean, it's the funniest.
Speaker 4: It was like he kind of already looks like Vince
Speaker 4: Palm and he's a Steelers fan. He was like going left,
Speaker 4: fake and right. The deer's like juking him. It's like
Speaker 4: steps on ghosts. At one point, deer steped on ghosts.
Speaker 3: So then I of course called Josie and because you're
Speaker 3: gonna be okay under different but yeah, and so, but
Speaker 3: the funniest thing is, I'm like, what was your plan?
Speaker 3: And that's what everyone wanted to know when they saw
Speaker 3: the video, like were you going after the dogs? Are
Speaker 3: you going after the deer? He's just like one or
Speaker 3: the other, because he at one point dives takes a.
Speaker 4: Fall, he took a hot mess, took one for the team,
Speaker 4: and I just want to say he won dog Dad
Speaker 4: of the Century for me. It was amazing. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: have to post this video so everyone can see.
Speaker 3: But also I'm like, how rude that I protected.
Speaker 4: Your child all day and then you're trying to tack
Speaker 4: my own. I know all that to say, if you
Speaker 4: ever find a baby deer and just leave it alone,
Speaker 4: leave it alone, get alone, go about your wife, your
Speaker 4: dogs inside.
Speaker 1: And keep your dogs inside.
Speaker 4: Mac so Abby and I first met because she's super
Speaker 4: duper involved here in the dog rescue community. How did
Speaker 4: you get involved? Like, have you always been involved in
Speaker 4: dog rescue? How did that come to be?
Speaker 3: So it's been ten years almost exactly. I was working
Speaker 3: at Warner Music Nashville, which is right down the road
Speaker 3: from us, and someone was cooing in the hallway and
Speaker 3: I was like, what's out there? And there was this
Speaker 3: puppy and my coworker, Rebecca was fostering this little puppy
Speaker 3: named Kathy, Sweet Kathy. And I don't know what it
Speaker 3: was about this dog. I just had. I guess had
Speaker 3: rescue dogs growing up. My dad rescued a couple dogs,
Speaker 3: but I just wasn't super well versed in the rescue world,
Speaker 3: and my mom had had little be Shawn's. I had
Speaker 3: a lab at the time that I got from a breeder,
Speaker 3: and I just didn't really know anything. But this fairal
Speaker 3: brown dog just stole my heart. And I Textan was like,
Speaker 3: should we get this dog? He was like, bring her home,
Speaker 3: and so brought her home that day and as a foster,
Speaker 3: and two days later we texted the organization and said
Speaker 3: we were going to keep her. But it was actually
Speaker 3: the very first ever Pimp and Joy Week that the
Speaker 3: Bobby Bones Show has done with Amy and honoring her mom,
Speaker 3: and so it was like the very first one ever.
Speaker 3: There were signs all Overshville about Pimp and Joy and
Speaker 3: so we when we adopted this dog, I was like,
Speaker 3: I think we need to name her Joy. We did
Speaker 3: this amazing thing. We rescued a dog, and so that
Speaker 3: is Joy and Joy, I always say, is just the
Speaker 3: reason that I am who I am and what I do,
Speaker 3: because from there I got involved with the rescue that
Speaker 3: she was at Proverbs twelve ten Animal Rescue here locally,
Speaker 3: they're a wonderful organization. That's right.
Speaker 1: I'm Biggie from yeaes Sweet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're wonderful, and so I just started volunteering and
Speaker 3: then from there Dan and I probably fostered about forty
Speaker 3: dogs and I just really fell in love with rescue
Speaker 3: and rescue animals. And now we have four and I
Speaker 3: would have one hundred more if I could.
Speaker 2: How many people do you think found you? Learned you
Speaker 2: from the Road Goes On Forever? Wait that percentage? That's
Speaker 2: how I found you. The live version, which I didn't know, oh,
Speaker 2: was like also the main version. I was like, man,
Speaker 2: this dude, and I think I saw you at ACL
Speaker 2: like like I have a history. I have a history
Speaker 2: of like watching you play and listen to your music.
Speaker 1: But I was like, dang, those live records are this good?
Speaker 2: But then that was the version when you recorded that
Speaker 2: or did you know that? Did you have a feeling
Speaker 2: that that song was going to be the one that
Speaker 2: pop so hard?
Speaker 5: It's a really good question about it, because I really
Speaker 5: don't know. I can't assess my own songs early very well.
Speaker 5: I mean, when I wrote that song, I thought, you know,
Speaker 5: it's up tempo, cool, got you know, some drama in
Speaker 5: and stuff like that.
Speaker 6: But I didn't know to do that.
Speaker 5: I didn't know, like that Christmas song would like give
Speaker 5: me fourteen years on the road of Christmas shows I had.
Speaker 6: I just have a hard time.
Speaker 5: And I'll say this by contrast, there are songs that
Speaker 5: I think are really great and they never catch fire.
Speaker 6: People know that don't hear them.
Speaker 5: But I love them and I think they're great, and
Speaker 5: I keep doggedly trying to go, you're gonna like this
Speaker 5: song if you listen to it, but it just doesn't happen.
Speaker 5: So I don't really have any idea of what really
Speaker 5: is a hit for some reason.
Speaker 2: Do you have songs that were poems that you were like,
Speaker 2: I got to turn this now into a song?
Speaker 6: Uh? Something like that.
Speaker 5: One time, I did this exercise where I wanted to
Speaker 5: write a song that had absolutely no rhyme at all,
Speaker 5: So I really pretty much wrote it as a poem
Speaker 5: and then but the end goal was to make it
Speaker 5: in a song, So then then I added the music.
Speaker 5: So that was that's about it close.
Speaker 2: But nothing rhymed the whole song.
Speaker 6: Nothing.
Speaker 7: How'd that do?
Speaker 6: It's great, it's fantastic.
Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, I got this guy, guy
Speaker 5: Baptiste Harman from France to sing it in French.
Speaker 6: While I while I narrated it.
Speaker 5: In English with the music, and he's, you know that
Speaker 5: great French thing. It's just it makes it so sexy
Speaker 5: when he sings it, you know, and I'm under there,
Speaker 5: you know, with this under and the girl did this
Speaker 5: and this, and it's so fantastic. So yeah, it was.
Speaker 5: It was I've never really played for anybody. It's just
Speaker 5: somewhere and you.
Speaker 7: Know, you just have it, ya.
Speaker 6: I just I never number one I wanted to do
Speaker 6: with it.
Speaker 5: I just it's kind of it kind of doesn't fit
Speaker 5: unless you were like this some kind of deep cuts.
Speaker 6: But it's beautiful.
Speaker 2: The I have the box set, so I have the
Speaker 2: whole the whole thing beautifully packaged. Yes, a lot of
Speaker 2: different things. There's a DVD. There's a song book. I
Speaker 2: was talking, there's just a lot. There's a lot there.
Speaker 7: Why that.
Speaker 6: It started, it just became that.
Speaker 5: It It was like we started with just music and
Speaker 5: recording it, and we did record the d v D
Speaker 5: at the same time we recorded the audio so that
Speaker 5: all matches, uh, And after that, you know, it was like, well,
Speaker 5: we've got to have a song book because it's all new.
Speaker 6: I'm thinking people should see that.
Speaker 5: So we did the so and then I think Claria
Speaker 5: started talking about like somebody was doing a graphic novel,
Speaker 5: and I said, well, that would be fun to do.
Speaker 5: So we started to get into that, and that was
Speaker 5: the one that nearly killed us because I never that's
Speaker 5: it's a lot of work, a lot of work people.
Speaker 2: The drawing of it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't, you know, I didn't draw that. I
Speaker 5: I hired that out. But I managed the whole thing,
Speaker 5: in the storyline and everything. But I even had to
Speaker 5: get at a dialogue guy to write the dialogue because
Speaker 5: I because I couldn't be as I wasn't as clever
Speaker 5: as this guy was.
Speaker 6: He was really clever.
Speaker 5: So I got so I had the storyline, the whole
Speaker 5: the whole visual concept, but I had to get that
Speaker 5: somebody I can't draw that.
Speaker 6: Well, So no, I get that.
Speaker 2: I wrote a kid's book and I can't draw it all.
Speaker 2: And you know, you have to go and find somebody
Speaker 2: who kind of represents what your texture is, right, which
Speaker 2: is a hard thing to do.
Speaker 1: I would say it would be as if you.
Speaker 2: Were an artist and you're not talking about you, but
Speaker 2: any artist who songs but finds a song that they
Speaker 2: didn't write but still speaks for them. Like that's rare
Speaker 2: that that can actually happen. But I have friends that
Speaker 2: are really great songwriters, but sometimes there's a song that
Speaker 2: pops into their world that they didn't write, and they're like,
Speaker 2: this represents who I am and it's odd. And I
Speaker 2: felt that way with finding somebody who to draw my
Speaker 2: words and thoughts, that this person has to draw what
Speaker 2: I'm feeling and how what I'm saying, and that was
Speaker 2: a more difficult process than I would have thought.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's grabbing that feeling. That's that's that's the magic.
Speaker 8: There.
Speaker 2: You're going and you're doing more shows, but you're not retired.
Speaker 9: I guess I never thought you were retired.
Speaker 5: Well, I retired. I'm retired really from touring. So I
Speaker 5: don't have a bus. The band that I put together
Speaker 5: is the same band that I have, but it's just
Speaker 5: because I was it's going.
Speaker 6: Incidentially they were.
Speaker 5: It was I'm lucky that they still have some space
Speaker 5: in the calendar and then but you know, the thing
Speaker 5: is was the the grind of touring, you know, just
Speaker 5: getting off a tour and then preparing for the next tour.
Speaker 6: It never stopped it never did stop.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just like kept going, kept going, and
Speaker 5: I just got to a point where I thought I
Speaker 5: was wearing everybody out. So I didn't think in terms
Speaker 5: about like just taking a year off, you know, and
Speaker 5: that kind of thing. I always wondered why those people
Speaker 5: take a year off. They're like twenty five years old
Speaker 5: and they said, I'm going to take a year off.
Speaker 5: I said, that's because you don't have any gigs. Man,
Speaker 5: don't tell me that. I mean, you don't have to
Speaker 5: take a year off.
Speaker 6: But I don't know why. That didn't really cross my mind.
Speaker 5: I just saw it at that time, and I did
Speaker 5: feel a certain amount of burnout going on with me.
Speaker 5: I just felt like I was blazing through a lot
Speaker 5: of stuff. I wasn't really phoning it in, but I was.
Speaker 5: I was definitely a little bit muddled, and I really
Speaker 5: felt like I was losing and I did not want
Speaker 5: which is the irony years like, I'm still beat up,
Speaker 5: but I did not want to be one of those
Speaker 5: people that are all beat up and you know, they're
Speaker 5: pushing them up on the stage or getting the ladder
Speaker 5: for them or whatever they're doing.
Speaker 6: I wanted to go in.
Speaker 5: The best I could go out, but well came in,
Speaker 5: you know, and that was really part of that was
Speaker 5: a big part of the decision.
Speaker 1: Kind good level, cast up, little food for yourself life, ain't.
Speaker 10: Oh it's pretty behaved, it's pretty beautiful thing laugh, a
Speaker 10: little more exciting because man said he can't cut your
Speaker 10: kicking with full Thing with Amy Brown.
Speaker 11: Hey it's Amy Brown from Four Things with Amy Brown.
Speaker 11: And here's what we talked about this week on my podcast.
Speaker 11: So just to wrap up the you know, mental health
Speaker 11: piece and being unhappy at our job or in I
Speaker 11: feel like it could apply to work or if you're
Speaker 11: happy in a certain environment and you're in maybe your
Speaker 11: group of friends or something like that. But just taking
Speaker 11: that assessment, what are some signs that we look out for. Okay,
Speaker 11: this is not healthy because sometimes we're just in the motion,
Speaker 11: especially when we show up for work. I feel like
Speaker 11: you show up, you do the job, you're sort of
Speaker 11: detached in a way, which maybe that's a sign.
Speaker 12: One hundred percent. There's a theory on this called flow,
Speaker 12: and I always like to give it outside resource, in
Speaker 12: my own resource. And there's this legendary psychologist named Mihai
Speaker 12: Cheek sent me high you can never never spell it
Speaker 12: in a million years, but he's got millions of views
Speaker 12: on a Ted talk and he described the theory of flow,
Speaker 12: and he was thirty years in his study of flow.
Speaker 12: You've probably heard of it, and he basically says that
Speaker 12: flow is where we get to a place where we
Speaker 12: have equal parts challenge, meaning it's a challenging task and
Speaker 12: equal parts ecstasy, and ecstasy in its purest form is
Speaker 12: the enjoyment because it is equal parts challenging and I
Speaker 12: can meet the challenge, so I have enough skill to
Speaker 12: actually do it. And so those are some signs if
Speaker 12: I'm in the workplace and I'm not challenged, like I've
Speaker 12: mastered this thing, and there's not a new challenge, and
Speaker 12: what we do every show is a different challenge, so
Speaker 12: we have that, you know. But if we get to
Speaker 12: a point where we're just on cruise control and there's
Speaker 12: no challenge, that's a sign. The other thing is is
Speaker 12: that I just don't enjoy it. And it's okay. By
Speaker 12: the way, you're not a bad person if you evolve.
Speaker 12: Many times we do evolve. Our passions evolve. You know.
Speaker 12: The root word of passion is peti and it means
Speaker 12: to suffer. So I would suffer for my kids.
Speaker 6: And I know you would too.
Speaker 12: You know, the people we love in our life, we
Speaker 12: would suffer for it. We would suffer for certain causes.
Speaker 12: And so that's passion, Like it's not a romantic thing here,
Speaker 12: this is a conviction like I will suffer. And for me,
Speaker 12: I realized that broadcasting was something I was willing to
Speaker 12: suffer for, and I made less money for several years.
Speaker 12: I didn't contribute to my retirement. I suffered just to
Speaker 12: get the shot to do what I do now because
Speaker 12: I know that that's what I was put on this
Speaker 12: planet to do. And so if you don't have that joy,
Speaker 12: like even on a really bad day, if you're not
Speaker 12: ready to get up the next day and get back
Speaker 12: after it because you actually love the role itself or
Speaker 12: the task itself, that's a sign. And then we've been
Speaker 12: talking about the other sign, and that's the people part
Speaker 12: of this deal. You can absolutely do something in your
Speaker 12: assessment that says this is my purpose statement.
Speaker 1: You could be using what you do best, to do
Speaker 1: what you love, to produce.
Speaker 12: Results of matter in a sucky environment and be miserable
Speaker 12: because of the people side of it. So if the
Speaker 12: people are dragging you down. That's a sign get out
Speaker 12: of there.
Speaker 7: It's not your place.
Speaker 11: But then it's just not as simple as that. You
Speaker 11: may have to have gratitude and be patient.
Speaker 12: Yes, sorry, I always want to point out I never
Speaker 12: want people to jump without a boat to jump into.
Speaker 7: But my point is.
Speaker 12: That's your sign it's gonna kill you emotionally. We did
Speaker 12: this simple little post amy I don't know, about a
Speaker 12: year or two ago, and I saw some data and
Speaker 12: I just posted it. I was sitting in a chair
Speaker 12: like this and I was just like, research shows that
Speaker 12: your boss has more impact on your mental health than
Speaker 12: your doctor. And we posted it. It's like ten million views,
Speaker 12: like because everybody in the comments on it is what
Speaker 12: it was just heartbreaking, Like I wasn't excited about the
Speaker 12: amount of views. I was honestly heartbroken by so many
Speaker 12: people resonating with that statement. And I'm just bringing that
Speaker 12: up to say, because you've been talking about mental health
Speaker 12: on this people thing to the extent that you can
Speaker 12: hang in there just long enough to get out of there,
Speaker 12: get out, get out, get into something else. Because you're
Speaker 12: in a negative environment, it will absolutely crush you. And
Speaker 12: as you know, the mental health piece. You're spending eight
Speaker 12: to ten hours a day with a jerk boss or
Speaker 12: jerk coworkers, that's gonna affect you physically, spiritually, emotionally. You're
Speaker 12: gonna drag that home with you. Your life cannot be
Speaker 12: a dumpster fire at work and then you just go
Speaker 12: home and be like, hey, flip a switch. Impossible. And
Speaker 12: that's why I'm passionate about helping men so many times,
Speaker 12: because it's like, dude, your marriage is failing and you're
Speaker 12: set up for an affair or substance or any other
Speaker 12: temptation if you don't have this contribution during the day
Speaker 12: or you go I did it. And I'm speaking to
Speaker 12: men here because I'm a man, but I'm just saying
Speaker 12: I think a lot of the ills and marriages are
Speaker 12: are because men don't have any meaning or purpose in
Speaker 12: their work during the day, and so they're trying to
Speaker 12: find it somewhere else and they can't come home with
Speaker 12: all that on them and be.
Speaker 7: Who they're supposed to be.
Speaker 12: They just can't.
Speaker 1: I'm not making excuses for them.
Speaker 11: Well, and you're miserable in certain areas, like it's like
Speaker 11: that self assessment of am I likable? You actually talked
Speaker 11: about this on your show too of am I likable?
Speaker 11: And asking yourself that question, and that just stood out
Speaker 11: to me, and it just talks if.
Speaker 12: You're not likable, you should you should probably figure out
Speaker 12: why because the rest of your life is going to
Speaker 12: unravel if you stay unlikable. Because I'm just telling you're
Speaker 12: the problem if somebody did something to you inevitably and
Speaker 12: somebody said something to you, and I acknowledge that. But
Speaker 12: there's an old phrase in the church role called hurting
Speaker 12: people hurt people, and it just couldn't be any more true,
Speaker 12: you know, So I'm passionate about that. From the work standpoint,
Speaker 12: I'm hitting it again because it's the same as true
Speaker 12: for women.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 12: If you're a working professional woman and that's your gym
Speaker 12: and that's what you want.
Speaker 6: To do, I love it.
Speaker 12: If you want to be a stay at home mom,
Speaker 12: go for it.

Speaker 7: here's a clip from one of the episodes this week
Speaker 7: on The Sore Losers. Take this clip and play it.
Speaker 7: How do you guys always flood? You flooded the last
Speaker 7: time when Billy was here. That's right, dude, That's why
Speaker 7: I need a co host.
Speaker 12: Man.
Speaker 8: Hell of a connection. We get there and we read
Speaker 8: the guest book a couple of drinks one night. It
Speaker 8: was a lot of downtimes that we're playing Domino's Chicken
Speaker 8: leg watching Wimbledon Round one.
Speaker 7: Now we're into the semis. Hey, I mean joker got
Speaker 7: walk over. Well I don't know what happened to the
Speaker 7: other guy. He got hurt ast hip man.
Speaker 8: But anyways, we're reading the guest book and it says stuff, Oh,
Speaker 8: love the Airbnb. It was so funnier. We had a
Speaker 8: great time.
Speaker 1: Love the Airbnb.
Speaker 7: A lot of rain.
Speaker 1: Weren't able to.
Speaker 8: Use First Avenue. Huh, love the Airbnb. Man careful when
Speaker 8: it rains. Another comment, Love the Airbnb. It was nuts,
Speaker 8: except for you can't go on First.
Speaker 6: Avenue if it rains. Oh, it's weird.
Speaker 1: Love the Airbnb.
Speaker 8: It was beautiful, gorgeous, gorgeous, really nice back patio, perfect
Speaker 8: for the fall weather. But that storm that came in
Speaker 8: really caught us by surprise. We were stuck inside. That's funny,
Speaker 8: that's so so weird. And then we got all drunk
Speaker 8: and we right in there. We're like, we're fucking celebrities, dude.
Speaker 8: We wrote a bunch of drunks. It was like the
Speaker 8: most beautiful guest book and then we just demolished it
Speaker 8: with our We like all signed it. Though Ali's signature
Speaker 8: might be worth something sometime. And so then we're uh.
Speaker 3: F warre.
Speaker 8: We we're on King Street and we're drinking it uptown.
Speaker 8: Uptown ended up being one of the favorites.
Speaker 7: That was one of your spots drink deals, and they
Speaker 7: you're you're like McKitty, you go to the same bar
Speaker 7: over and over again.
Speaker 8: They're a decent amount of time because it was a
Speaker 8: block from the place that's smart and they would play
Speaker 8: Ali's song that she's releasing in two weeks over the
Speaker 8: speakers and so we'd see if people were vibe into it.
Speaker 8: And so we leave uptown.
Speaker 7: We get into the weed store, but we didn't buy
Speaker 7: weed a weed legal there or is it one of
Speaker 7: the other ones? Non THHC got it.
Speaker 8: But they also have agent Asian candies, so you don't
Speaker 8: even have to get the THHC.
Speaker 6: Got it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's like non they're just normal candies from Asia.
Speaker 8: But you can only get him at the weed store.
Speaker 7: I've never been Charleston. Sounds like a heck of a place. Man, crazy.
Speaker 8: So we're in the weed store, all right, girls are
Speaker 8: running in from the water. Dude, there's girls in bikini tops.
Speaker 1: So oh my gosh, it's raining.
Speaker 8: We get in there there, Ali gets some Asian candies,
Speaker 8: sucking them down.
Speaker 7: I'm like, are you guys getting high?
Speaker 8: And they said no, there's no whatever it's called in it.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 8: That's what confused me.
Speaker 7: Explain it to me. So we're trapped in the store
Speaker 7: an hour.
Speaker 8: Dude, the biggest drentio comes through people floating by on
Speaker 8: the water in front of the King Street no less,
Speaker 8: and so we finally stops, and then we're able to leave.
Speaker 8: We're stuck in there in the store forever. And I
Speaker 8: go up to the one dude we'd spent money with
Speaker 8: and I go, hey, man, I've got to go. I've
Speaker 8: had to go for an hour. Can I please use
Speaker 8: ther restroom? And he looks at me dead in the
Speaker 8: eye and he goes, no, man, we don't have one here.
Speaker 8: So you're an employee and for a nine hours, you
Speaker 8: guys are on one restroom.
Speaker 7: Okay, so you shut down the store when you got
Speaker 7: to go pee, you lock the doors and go next door.
Speaker 8: I thought we were on a pretty common ground where
Speaker 8: were all cool. That's all good, man, I'll just piss
Speaker 8: myself while I'm waiting. So it finally clears up, we
Speaker 8: go home. We're going home. We get an uber because
Speaker 8: it's a decent amount of little jog, So we get
Speaker 8: into uber and we're all just in the bag kind of.
Speaker 8: We hadn't been drinking in hours because the weed shop
Speaker 8: had no alcohol, so we're just kind of like sobering up.
Speaker 8: And then we get to second avenue and they dry
Speaker 8: and none of us even saw it. And the driver goes,
Speaker 8: oh no, oh, oh shit, oh you me, And we
Speaker 8: all look up. Dude, we thought he got in a
Speaker 8: car accident. The entire first avenue flooded. Our apartment house
Speaker 8: was underwater. What And we go, I get now why
Speaker 8: the guest book said it sucks when it rains. And
Speaker 8: so the driver goes, I can't go any farther. I
Speaker 8: cannot go any farther. So dude drops us two blocks up.
Speaker 8: So now you need a canoe to get to the place.
Speaker 8: We're able to go on the sidewalk far enough and
Speaker 8: then get into our house. And at our front door
Speaker 8: is a barricade because the floods get up so high
Speaker 8: on the door that you need this little thing that
Speaker 8: you stick in front where it's there's like an Allen
Speaker 8: ranch and a Jimmy ranch and you stick it in
Speaker 8: there and you suck it off, and you keep turning
Speaker 8: it and jacking it. So we had this thing on
Speaker 8: our door so our house wouldn't flood, and so we're
Speaker 8: both all laughing, like man reading that guest book. They
Speaker 8: should have said, hey, guys, if you're reading this, the
Speaker 8: entire fucking first floor floods, not first avenue.
Speaker 7: I think you guys said it wrong.
Speaker 8: And dude, so then the whole time, sorry, go ahead,
Speaker 8: So then the whole I'm like, we get inside safely.
Speaker 8: I believe the girls took their shoes off. I was
Speaker 8: fine with mine on my own care.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say shirts damn no.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the girls getting naked, I'm I was like, all right, cool,
Speaker 8: all right. So dude, I sit there, I grab a beer.
Speaker 8: I'm sitting on the barricade, just watching people. I mean
Speaker 8: it's like, guy orders pizza, pizza, gar won't go any farther.
Speaker 8: Guy in the pizza. He's wading through water to get
Speaker 8: his pizza. Guy and girl come home from work. The
Speaker 8: chick is like in her nice dress thing. She's like,
Speaker 8: fuck it, I don't know what else to do. So
Speaker 8: she's walking across the in the water. The dude decides
Speaker 8: to scale his whole first floor of his house could
Speaker 8: have fallen and broken his back to get into the house.
Speaker 8: I'm like, buddy, there was probably a better route, dude,
Speaker 8: So nobody's able to go, and that the cars are stopping, people.
Speaker 7: Are like, what the I mean, what the how did
Speaker 7: this flood? What the dude?
Speaker 8: Apparently anytime it rains where we were Charleston, half of
Speaker 8: it is under seawater level, so it floods. So if
Speaker 8: if there's a rainstorm, you're a foot underwater, why don't.
Speaker 6: They fix that?
Speaker 7: I mean, dude, so your boy.
Speaker 8: I mean, I am just sitting drinking Wimbled and playing
Speaker 8: co Co Coda and it's just one after another. Pizza guy,
Speaker 8: a couple coming home from work. You got, dude, people
Speaker 8: abandoning their cars. There was three cars in the middle
Speaker 8: of the road.
Speaker 7: I took pictures. We can put them all up. It
Speaker 7: was nuts.
Speaker 8: I've never actually been part of a flood, Hurricane Katrina style.
Speaker 8: And it happened in a flash, one one hour. It
Speaker 8: was flooded out.
Speaker 7: That's unbelievable. But then, so did you go to the
Speaker 7: guest book and be like Hey, people weren't lying about
Speaker 7: that first avenue.
Speaker 8: Yeah, guys, when you said first avenue, you can also
Speaker 8: say first avenue slash flooded.
Speaker 7: Were not one person.
Speaker 8: In the guest book used the terminology can hurricane flood
Speaker 8: like paunch a train breach.
Speaker 7: And then like the mosquitoes? How long does it take
Speaker 7: to get Ford to go down?
Speaker 1: Oh we're flooded for about three four hours.
Speaker 8: Girls were just inside. You can't gotta go out. Just
Speaker 8: let the girls are napping. I'm like, ladies, it's getting
Speaker 8: a little higher.
Speaker 7: Call line.
Speaker 8: She's a queen and talking and so you know, she's
Speaker 8: getting really not afraid to feed the episode, So just
Speaker 8: let it blow.
Speaker 10: No one can do we quiet cary Line.
Speaker 7: It's time of Caroline.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get real podcast again.
Speaker 3: Than who doesn't what it is?
Speaker 13: Lick you do you feel about a lot?
Speaker 1: Do people just want to touch you?
Speaker 14: Okay, you know what's funny and okay and not I
Speaker 14: feel a lady, but like you're you just people want
Speaker 14: to touch you. Well, I feel very thankful that, like
Speaker 14: I've been in this business for like since I was
Speaker 14: seventeen quote unquote professionally, and I feel very lucky that
Speaker 14: I've never been touched inappropriately by a man.
Speaker 1: A man.
Speaker 3: Heck, yeah by a man.
Speaker 1: So you're holding you?
Speaker 3: Do you know?
Speaker 14: You the amount of women that will just come up
Speaker 14: to me and grab my boobs and I'm like, since
Speaker 14: when is this okay?
Speaker 3: You guys? Like I'm I'm.
Speaker 14: Kind of like one of those girls that like, I
Speaker 14: don't hug my girlfriends. It's kind of it's like, are
Speaker 14: we gonna hut? Like it's just weird. I grew up
Speaker 14: with sisters and it's like, dude, like, yeah, we hug
Speaker 14: and we we love each other, but it's kind of like,
Speaker 14: I don't know, we don't coddle and freaking.
Speaker 3: Touch each other. Like it's just kind of I don't know.
Speaker 14: But there's been a couple of times where I'm like,
Speaker 14: is there this new phenomenon with girlfriends just like coming
Speaker 14: up to you and just grabbing your boobs and your
Speaker 14: butt And that's just like the greeting now, because it's
Speaker 14: it's odd to me.
Speaker 9: How do you feel I would never strangers dying this year?
Speaker 1: No, it's it's.
Speaker 14: Like, oh, they're not friends friends, but they're like acquaintances.
Speaker 14: I'm like, I don't know you well enough for you to,
Speaker 14: and sometimes it embarrasses me because it's like we're in
Speaker 14: front of a bunch of people. It'll be in like
Speaker 14: a circle of people and it's like this girl, they'll
Speaker 14: just like come up and.
Speaker 3: Be like, give me those kitties.
Speaker 14: I'm like, what the heck you guys like it's it's
Speaker 14: kind of embarrassing, and I'm just I get I feel
Speaker 14: really uncomfortable, and I'm like, okay.
Speaker 13: To kind of circle back around, like a conversation that's
Speaker 13: going on in the world right now, like Taylor Swift
Speaker 13: talking about Lady Gaga. Everyone's asking she's pregnant, and Taylor
Speaker 13: Swift lays it, oh wait.
Speaker 3: I'm unfamiliar with the Lady Gaga.
Speaker 13: Oh well, she like posted a picture and she must
Speaker 13: have had like a pooch or something or just you know,
Speaker 13: just a picture where you know, we're not in line exactly,
Speaker 13: we're not none of us have a flat flow, and
Speaker 13: people are like, oh my god, she's pregnant. And then
Speaker 13: she posted down bad just at the gym or something
Speaker 13: like or something that she quoted Taylor Swift, and then
Speaker 13: Taylor Swift waded in and was like, can we just
Speaker 13: like agree that it's uh what you say like inappropriate
Speaker 13: and insensitive to talk about women's bodies.
Speaker 3: Also, what if she was pregnant? Who cares? I know,
Speaker 3: So it's like we'll be pregnant, I know.
Speaker 13: But see, the thing is, you have one of these
Speaker 13: bodies though, that is so beautiful that it's hard not
Speaker 13: to notice it because you're just such a.
Speaker 1: Vision when you walk in.
Speaker 13: Honestly, I mean really, you are like a vision to
Speaker 13: see and so it's like hard not to stare at you.
Speaker 14: You know, well, I think you know me well enough
Speaker 14: to know I don't mind people staring at me, and
Speaker 14: I don't I want to be in this business if
Speaker 14: I didn't like that. Like I enjoy attention, of course,
Speaker 14: I totally enjoy that, but it's I get a I
Speaker 14: don't how to articulate it very well.
Speaker 13: It's an interesting line though, because yes, people are looking
Speaker 13: are beautiful. It's like, you know, celebrities are to be seen.
Speaker 13: But it's like, where is that line where everyone feels
Speaker 13: like they have the right to have full access to
Speaker 13: talking about engaging about maybe even touching someone's body. Who
Speaker 13: is putting themselves out there?
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 3: Maybe it's because I'm putting myself out.
Speaker 1: There, like, I don't think you deserved it.
Speaker 14: I don't know, I don't know, you know, but at
Speaker 14: least with like girlfriends.
Speaker 1: Again, it's very interesting.
Speaker 14: This is an interesting science, like I want to I
Speaker 14: was honestly talking to my husband about this.
Speaker 3: I was like, what is this thing about?
Speaker 14: Like, Okay, I've been touched more unwelcomed, you know, women
Speaker 14: touching me and grabbing me.
Speaker 3: Then I've never had a man do that.
Speaker 9: That's freaking amazing.
Speaker 1: You must have laundry, though.
Speaker 13: You must put off some vibes that say, like I
Speaker 13: think to be respected, which is amazing, I think so.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'd like to think like I'm I'm I'm a
Speaker 14: flirt and I know I love men, I love people,
Speaker 14: I love engaged in conversation, getting to know people. But
Speaker 14: I'd like to think I don't put off that vibe
Speaker 14: like you're not crossing the line with me. Yeah, buddy, yeah, buddy, Yeah,
Speaker 14: you can think about it.
Speaker 3: Don't tell me.
Speaker 14: You know, you do whatever you want in that brain
Speaker 14: of yours. But you know, I like to think I
Speaker 14: carry myself with that apparently not around girls.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, apparently I'm just like, yeah, just come
Speaker 3: home and touch me. Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 14: Know, it's just kind of I really want to understand
Speaker 14: what the science is there.
Speaker 9: Have you trying to think about this because.
Speaker 13: I I totally agree with like I don't think women's
Speaker 13: body should be discussed, but okay when Taylor Swift said
Speaker 13: women's body should not be discussed.
Speaker 1: It's also hard.
Speaker 13: Tough because like the worst thing I do when I.
Speaker 9: See when I see someone, I'll be like, man, you
Speaker 9: look good.
Speaker 3: What is that you have to compliments?
Speaker 14: And that makes me feel good, like when my girlfriends
Speaker 14: say like, oh my gosh, like when I'm actually taking
Speaker 14: care myself and they're like, oh you're you look amazed
Speaker 14: and like thank you.
Speaker 9: I think it's just so much as focused on women's looks,
Speaker 9: you know.
Speaker 1: I think that that's.
Speaker 14: Like I think, because we're fun to look at, so
Speaker 14: I think it is natural, and I think I do
Speaker 14: think there is a natural. The natural man, you know
Speaker 14: and woman is we're physical beings, we're sexual beings, we're funtal.
Speaker 14: I probably check out women way more than I check
Speaker 14: out men.
Speaker 1: Apparently if you look at.
Speaker 9: If you look at boobs, it like increases your exciting.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I know that's always having your show who doesn't
Speaker 14: like looking out a nice parent.
Speaker 1: I mean, I do know, ye do.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just you know.
Speaker 14: And then but then you could go into the science
Speaker 14: of like why what makes us think one thing is
Speaker 14: nice to look at and one's not? Like is that
Speaker 14: because of our programming in society? Is there something natural?
Speaker 14: And it's just very interesting.
Speaker 9: All that is very interesting to me, I know, I know.
Speaker 1: And why do we think the way we think?
Speaker 13: I don't know, well, because we're all driven by set ultimately,
Speaker 13: you know, yeah, yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's
Speaker 13: such a fine line because like, you want to be sexy,
Speaker 13: you put yourself out there, but then it's like, what's
Speaker 13: too sexy when people start like invading your privacy.
Speaker 14: It's very interesting because I've always looked at like, look,
Speaker 14: I'm the first to admit, like, the costumes I wear
Speaker 14: on stage aren't smartest hot, and I love them, but.
Speaker 1: I look like but not.
Speaker 13: I'm not to compare each another artists. I hate that
Speaker 13: when you compare so much another artist. But like I'm
Speaker 13: telling you, I'm gonna like Selena.
Speaker 3: I'm totally ripping her off.
Speaker 14: Oh god, you are so sexy. No, she's like one
Speaker 14: of my biggest inspirations. And for so long I've been
Speaker 14: I've been thinking about like what actually makes me feel good?
Speaker 3: What do I want to wear?
Speaker 14: And I've always loved her style always I'm like, I
Speaker 14: need something to dance in. I need something I can
Speaker 14: jump around in or be dazzling bras.
Speaker 13: I don't feel because I know you've come into owning
Speaker 13: your yourself, owning your body, owning your image, owning your music,
Speaker 13: owning your artistry like this has been a last time
Speaker 13: we talked was like a year ago, and you had
Speaker 13: just you had left your label. You had come out
Speaker 13: of a season that was pretty like confusing and lost,
Speaker 13: and you're coming out of like understanding your bodies orders.
Speaker 1: I mean, me too, struggle with so many to eating disorders.
Speaker 13: And then you had you were coming into this full
Speaker 13: just embracing of yourself.
