Speaker 1: six your song seven different, seven different songs of yours, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm just a big fan of your body of work,
Speaker 1: and so thanks to be able to have you here, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm very excited that you're here today. I'm very excited.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've gotten to do a lot of cool things,
Speaker 1: but I think my hometown won't consider me making it
Speaker 1: until I've played the Bobby Bones Show. So this is
Speaker 1: a big day. And what is your hometown Shoeyville, Iowa?
Speaker 1: And what isn't if I were to drive into shoe Eville,
Speaker 1: If I were to drive into Shoeville, like, what do
Speaker 1: I see? Corn fields? Just driving through cornfields? We got
Speaker 1: two bars in a church in Shoeville. Life's about balance.
Speaker 1: We got to stop sign. The town's mad because we
Speaker 1: finally got a stoplight. So it's a pretty small town.
Speaker 1: So you have one stoplight. We have one stoplight now congratulations. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we do not have a stoplight where I'm from, but
Speaker 1: we have a dollar general now love it, which is
Speaker 1: about the same. You know, when you weigh them out,
Speaker 1: they're both like what we got a cell phone tower
Speaker 1: about six years ago. Nice. Until about six years ago,
Speaker 1: you could drive into Mountain Pine, Arkansas and you could
Speaker 1: not use your cell phone. That is wild and Shoeville
Speaker 1: you've had that forever. We've had self servants. So I'm
Speaker 1: imagining lots of farms. That corn is such a big
Speaker 1: part of the economic economy of Shoeyville. Is that what
Speaker 1: everybody does there? Yeah? I mean my dad, you know,
Speaker 1: has worked at the corn processing plant. Adm Um. He's
Speaker 1: worked there his whole life. He's now he grows corn.
Speaker 1: He's a corn crop farmer, corn beans. It's a big
Speaker 1: part of Iowa for sure. Do you being not just exposed,
Speaker 1: but I mean living in corn? Do you like corn everything?
Speaker 1: Or do you hate corn everything? I love corn everything.
Speaker 1: She has to say that her mafia comes and gets
Speaker 1: there like everything. Yeah. Um, you know what's really cool
Speaker 1: about you? And you're gonna perform in a second, and
Speaker 1: I'm excited for audience to hear this. But you know,
Speaker 1: you are such a massive fan of traditional country music
Speaker 1: and you I've written songs for Martina McBride and Alan Jackson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, aside from your career now which you are
Speaker 1: so respected and you're so good, But how cool is
Speaker 1: it to be able to do that for heroes of yours?
Speaker 1: It's insane. I mean I grew up idolizing them and
Speaker 1: just studying Alan Jackson's body of work. I mean, I
Speaker 1: admire him so much as a songwriter too, So to
Speaker 1: have him, you know, hear one of my songs and
Speaker 1: think it's worthy enough to be on a record of
Speaker 1: his is a huge honor and He's just been incredibly
Speaker 1: gracious and cool to me. So it's been really cool.
Speaker 1: Today's International Women's Day, and I wanted to bring in
Speaker 1: some women that I really think said a great example
Speaker 1: for other women. That's why you're here today, because I
Speaker 1: think you have your own original path that you've been
Speaker 1: kicking down and you're going down and regardless of what
Speaker 1: happens commercially, and now you're getting that, which is cool.
Speaker 1: But you've always just done your own thing and let
Speaker 1: it come to you, and I think that is that's
Speaker 1: I really respect that. But I'll ask you now, who
Speaker 1: what women do you see out there that you look
Speaker 1: to and you're like, you know, they did their thing
Speaker 1: that kind of allows me to do mine. I mean, gosh,
Speaker 1: a lot of the females of the nineties, you know,
Speaker 1: Tricia Martina, my friend Britney Spencer right now is just
Speaker 1: blazing her own trail and it's been really cool to
Speaker 1: watch her grow. You know, Miranda, I think a lot
Speaker 1: of the females in the genre, I think it's been
Speaker 1: you know, everyone always kind of tells us it's a
Speaker 1: harder road, but I see so many girls out there
Speaker 1: just you know, buckling up, rolling their sleeves up and
Speaker 1: doing the work and making their music get out there
Speaker 1: to people no matter what. So I'm kind of inspired
Speaker 1: by all of the chicks right now in the format.
Speaker 1: Now you have a banjo, yeah, because that's not if
Speaker 1: I'm looking, that is not a ganjo. It's not a ganjo.
Speaker 1: You're not opposing. And I'm very very basic banjo player.
Speaker 1: At this point, I'm going to be doing some banjo lessons,
Speaker 1: but I taught myself this little part to the song
Speaker 1: that we're about to perform, and I really just have
Speaker 1: fun playing it, So don't don't judge my banjo's skills.
Speaker 1: I would say a simple banjo was better than a
Speaker 1: poser a ganjo. Who's great because a ganjo is six
Speaker 1: strings and you played like a guitar and everybody's like, oh,
Speaker 1: they play the banjo, Like no, they're playing guitar, and
Speaker 1: I think that sounds like a banjo. But Haley has
Speaker 1: four strings. Well, I play banjo probably like a guitar player,
Speaker 1: and I'm barely that. So yeah, she's not giving herself
Speaker 1: an until here, And I'm like, you're right, but what
Speaker 1: song are you gonna play for Haley? We're gonna play
Speaker 1: a new single off my latest record, which is coming
Speaker 1: out three eighteen. This is called Everything she Ain't. All Right,
Speaker 1: Here we go, Haley Witters on the Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 1: Shit a peach, y'all ought to be picking, she ain't.
Speaker 1: The cup of tea, y'all ought to be seven. She
Speaker 1: treats you like it broke, locking need fixing. You ain't
Speaker 1: getting nothing back from all that you're given if you're
Speaker 1: good with who you kiss and say love. But I
Speaker 1: can show you what you're missing. Yeah, boy, I can
Speaker 1: be the whiskey in your soda, the Lindy Corona shot
Speaker 1: gunning or Tacoma the ad t a Hank. She's got
Speaker 1: a little style in a Hollywood smile. But believe me, honey,
Speaker 1: good is money in the bank. I'm everything she is
Speaker 1: and everything she ain't. Yeah, everything she is and everything
Speaker 1: she ain't. I never know if you're gonna go back
Speaker 1: into something then you guys wanted We like, okay. Sometimes

Speaker 1: been cool. And the record comes out this month three eighteen. Yeah,

Speaker 1: the week with Morgan number two all right, moments away
Speaker 1: from Tanil Towns. You may know her for the song
Speaker 1: Jersey on the Wall, Oh God. That song was about
Speaker 1: a kid that had died at a school and then
Speaker 1: she wrote a song because she went to the gym
Speaker 1: and saw that it hanging like that. She was like,
Speaker 1: what happened? They told the story. Then she wrote the
Speaker 1: question like if I ever get to heaven, this is
Speaker 1: what I want to ask. So that song so good
Speaker 1: and then you might know her for somebody's daughter. All right,
Speaker 1: and she's here. Now let's go on the Bobby Bones Show.
Speaker 1: Now to Neil Towns. So it's International Women's Day, and
Speaker 1: I thought, let me invite up, you know, another one
Speaker 1: of the women that I expect, and I feel like
Speaker 1: it's a great role model for young girls and just
Speaker 1: so many things. And to Neil Towns is here. To Neil, hey,
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Great to see. I was watching
Speaker 1: it Good to see you one of your Instagram videos
Speaker 1: and I think it looked like you were practicing in
Speaker 1: the bathroom, like a public bathroom. Yeah, like you and
Speaker 1: all that your band were, Oh yeah, what what was
Speaker 1: happening there? See? The bathrooms are always such an adventure.
Speaker 1: Every time we show up at a venue, it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what are the showers going to be? Like today? What's
Speaker 1: the bathroom? And we were opening for Reba and there
Speaker 1: was such a great refurben there. I was like, come on, guys,
Speaker 1: we need to we need to run some stuff in
Speaker 1: the bathroom. So that was our moment. And it was
Speaker 1: it smelling. I mean, it's fine, it was fine. It
Speaker 1: was fine. It was a nice smelling bathroom. They probably
Speaker 1: cleaned it before you got there. I appreciated that. I
Speaker 1: always do. You know, that's an extra special treat. It's
Speaker 1: so important to Nil to give back. She's raised over
Speaker 1: two million dollars for Big Hearts for Big Kids, which
Speaker 1: is a charity Tenniel started when she was just fifteen
Speaker 1: years old, which is wild because now you're like sixteen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. I mean it's been so long. Tell me
Speaker 1: about Big Hearts for Big Kids. Okay. So it's this
Speaker 1: concert fundraiser we do up in my hometown and Graham Ferry,
Speaker 1: Alberta for a local youth shelter. They help kids ages
Speaker 1: eleven to seventeen struggling with homelessness. And we've been able
Speaker 1: to kind of bring the whole community together to keep
Speaker 1: the doors open over the past eleven years. So you
Speaker 1: know something else, and I know I mentioned it to
Speaker 1: you every single time, but I've always so moved when
Speaker 1: I hit it again is And one of the reasons
Speaker 1: I thought about you for International Women's Day is you
Speaker 1: did a version of one of your songs with a
Speaker 1: local Girl Scout troop of girls that are homeless for
Speaker 1: the most part. Yeah. Yeah, will you tell the audience
Speaker 1: kind of what you did there? Yeah. So we did
Speaker 1: this version of Somebody's Daughter with the Girl Scouts Troop
Speaker 1: six thousand of Middle Tennessee. And these are all girls
Speaker 1: without permanent housing. And I heard about this troop. There's
Speaker 1: one in New York, one in Nashville, and I was like,
Speaker 1: we need to I would love to get to hang
Speaker 1: out with these girls. So we helped them earn their
Speaker 1: musician badge, which I've never been a part of handing
Speaker 1: out a Girls Scout badge before. That was really cool,
Speaker 1: and they all came into the studio and sang on
Speaker 1: it and did some stuffing and clapping and literally the
Speaker 1: best experience I've ever had in the studio. It was
Speaker 1: so fun. Isn't that so cool? Yeah? I love it,
Speaker 1: And you can start. I mean, I heard it before.
Speaker 1: I guess I knew about it because I just talk
Speaker 1: to your music and I'm like, well, post something new today.
Speaker 1: You post on the news today something popped up and
Speaker 1: it was somebody's daughter, but it was the version with
Speaker 1: the girls Scouts. Yeah, they're never going to forget. That's
Speaker 1: a well, I crazy. It was so special to Neil
Speaker 1: Towns is with us, And again I keep up with
Speaker 1: you through social media for the most part. I consider
Speaker 1: us friends me too, But like friends that travel a lot,
Speaker 1: you keep up with them a lot. On right, I'm
Speaker 1: just looking at Instagram and stuff and I saw a
Speaker 1: picture where they gave you a big plaque. It was
Speaker 1: like gold and platinum single. It was Matt, where do
Speaker 1: you put that massive plaque in your house? I don't
Speaker 1: actually know. I'm in like a little two bedroom town house.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what to do with it, but I
Speaker 1: am so excited to have it. So cool. It looks
Speaker 1: like the sides of a door. It really, it's massive,
Speaker 1: and it's you know, got my face on it, which
Speaker 1: is very cool and also strange. I feel like to
Speaker 1: maybe have in my house. But it means the most
Speaker 1: to know people have listened to these songs enough times
Speaker 1: to add up to whatever that plaque says. It's so crazy,
Speaker 1: you know, today being International Women's Day, like, who were
Speaker 1: the female influences in your life that you go? Man?
Speaker 1: Without them, I don't know if I would be here now. Honestly,
Speaker 1: all of the women in my family are such strong, fierce, independent,
Speaker 1: just forces of nature. My great grandmother, my my Mary Willette,
Speaker 1: my my grandmother, my mom, all of them were just
Speaker 1: like no filters, full of love, wonderful people. And we
Speaker 1: drove around listening to so many female voice is. I
Speaker 1: don't think I'd be playing music if it weren't for
Speaker 1: you know, the obsessive amounts of Shania Twain that I
Speaker 1: sang along too, and writing in my grandparents motor home,
Speaker 1: listening to a Code of Many Colors Dolly Parton over
Speaker 1: and over. It's like so many of those voices definitely
Speaker 1: impacted the way that I felt like I saw the
Speaker 1: world and saw a place that I could do music too.
Speaker 1: He wrote this song When's It Going to Happen? And
Speaker 1: I feel, as being a fan of your music, I
Speaker 1: feel like this is the most personal and artist always
Speaker 1: says my most personal song, and I'm like, I stop
Speaker 1: saying that crowd the eighth time, but I feel like
Speaker 1: this is the most personal song about you. Were like introspectively,
Speaker 1: you took this song and did what was happening in
Speaker 1: your heart and mind? Yes, so, elizab which is a
Speaker 1: little terrifying, but it is. I like to be the
Speaker 1: storyteller and kind of write songs from the other third
Speaker 1: view perspective, But this one is very much about internal
Speaker 1: internal feelings, this season of my life where my mailbox
Speaker 1: is full of wedding invitations of all my friends getting married,
Speaker 1: and I kind of wanted to write a song about
Speaker 1: what it feels like to be on the other side
Speaker 1: of that sometimes. So here is Daniel Towns with her
Speaker 1: song When's It Gonna Happen? Never been good at expectations.
Speaker 1: I think I expect too much. But if it's any consolation,
Speaker 1: well I still believe in love. You know I got
Speaker 1: your invitation. Can't wave ruse, Mary beach ess, I should
Speaker 1: tell you he's inn coming. There's no plus one. It's
Speaker 1: just me. Oh and I'll sure being a dress with
Speaker 1: a smile, And I couldn't be happier for you. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm the last one standing, all a girl,
Speaker 1: all my friends are falling in love. I'm scared to death,
Speaker 1: all end up empty handed. Can't be the only one
Speaker 1: faking wensick gonnana happen happened to me? And no, it's
Speaker 1: supposed to happen naturally, wensy gonna happen? Oh to me? Who? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: ain't no town back girl? Who did you write that with? Okay?
Speaker 1: I wrote this with my friends Stephen Rabel and Steph
Speaker 1: Jones over Zoom, who had never met in person before,
Speaker 1: but we've written like fifteen or so songs together at
Speaker 1: this point. I'm such big fans of both of them.
Speaker 1: Was that like, okay, guys, I want to go extremely
Speaker 1: internal here. Not honestly, it was going, okay, what should
Speaker 1: we write a song about today? And I was like
Speaker 1: I literally was looking at the stack of mail on
Speaker 1: my counter And this was in the middle of the
Speaker 1: pandemic of definitely feeling pretty lonely and going I can't
Speaker 1: be the only one feeling this way, Like what if
Speaker 1: we wrote a song just about that? So yeah, it
Speaker 1: was every line that we wrote. I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: that's this is real. But okay, yep, we're putting this
Speaker 1: in the song. And then we finished it and I
Speaker 1: was like, dang it, I like this this means like
Speaker 1: now we have to record it. We have to record it.
Speaker 1: It's so good. Thank you, You're so good. You guys
Speaker 1: followed to Neil Towns, Towns, t ow n S and
Speaker 1: how the Torgo. It was awesome. Yeah, it was so fun.
Speaker 1: People showed up, people came that they came and what
Speaker 1: they knew the music. We sang the songs together. It
Speaker 1: was such a dream. I'm super fun for you. Thank
Speaker 1: you for coming in today to play. Thank you for
Speaker 1: having me, Bobby. So great to see everybody. Good to
Speaker 1: be here Tanil Towns and listen. If you're looking for
Speaker 1: a woman were International Women's Day to be like that
Speaker 1: is my inspiration. I don't think till not to date guys,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying like, oh no, I like, no happening now.
Speaker 1: This is when it's happened now, looking for someone to
Speaker 1: go like, you know, I'm only looking for someone to
Speaker 1: inspire me for a mean. Tenniel is a good one.
Speaker 1: You're a good one, thanks Bobby. All right, there she
Speaker 1: has Tenniel Towns. It's the best bits of the week,
Speaker 1: with Morgan number two coming in at number six. I
Speaker 1: watched Back to the Future for the first time, and
Speaker 1: y'all are digging these old school movie TV show reviews.
Speaker 1: I had to throw this in here. Here it is.
Speaker 1: Let me know if you like my review. Maybe you don't,
Speaker 1: maybe it was too controversial. I don't know. Number six.
Speaker 1: So we told Morgan number two twenty eight to go
Speaker 1: watch Back to the Future because she had never seen
Speaker 1: it and we had an unsuccessful Seinfeld experiment. She watched
Speaker 1: Seinfeld and she was like, yes, it's not that funny anymore. Fair.
Speaker 1: I just don't think there's any way to miss with
Speaker 1: Michael J. Foxon Back to the Future. Hom on, So
Speaker 1: you watched it? How I had to rent it on Amazon? Okay,
Speaker 1: it wasn't anywhere else to watch, like three Bucks or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you to reimburse you? Are you cool? No, I'm good.
Speaker 1: I'm good. If I hated it, I get pulled into
Speaker 1: HR because I'm making people pay for content. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: can do that on an expense report, right, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I guess So you watched Back to the Future. Is
Speaker 1: it was it long? It's an hour or like seventeen minutes.
Speaker 1: That's the greatest movie. I didn't even realize about the
Speaker 1: perfect movie link. That's cool. High expectations. What you think? Okay, well,
Speaker 1: my past spoiler part, like, everybody, is it old enough
Speaker 1: that I can spoil something? That's a good question to ask.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes. And we're also warning people that
Speaker 1: are back to the future spoiler is coming here. Wow.
Speaker 1: So when I watched it listen, I was really into it.
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. But something kept bothering me. There's
Speaker 1: a little bit of incest that happens during the show
Speaker 1: when the mom and him, and it took me a
Speaker 1: while to get over it. I was like, he just
Speaker 1: kissed his mom, like I know he's not she doesn't
Speaker 1: know and whatever, but he didn't quite kiss his mom.
Speaker 1: She kissed him. He didn't want that. She also didn't
Speaker 1: know it was her son comes in the past. Yes,
Speaker 1: but he knew it was coming. He knew that she
Speaker 1: had the hots for him. He kept saying it, so
Speaker 1: that part, like it irks me a little bit, but
Speaker 1: I got over it because it was so good. All right,
Speaker 1: what do you rate Back to the Future? All right, Well,
Speaker 1: m I would give it four out of five Deloreans.
Speaker 1: It's good, solid rating for something so old. And I
Speaker 1: will say that at the end as soon as they're like,
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're going we don't need any and
Speaker 1: he makes the big line. I was like, I want
Speaker 1: to watch the sea. Back to the Future came out
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty five, Like I wasn't even old enough
Speaker 1: to really watch it and understand it. Then I guess
Speaker 1: I watched you watch it years later. But back to
Speaker 1: the Future gets the thumbs out, Seinfeld gets it thumbs down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you go. If you ever watch Back to the
Speaker 1: Future too, just let us know. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: sign that to you, but I'm going to sign something
Speaker 1: else to you. And you have two weeks, okay, if
Speaker 1: you want to take the challenge. If you've seen it, though,
Speaker 1: don't have you ever seen The Karate Kid the original?
Speaker 1: I want to say that I've seen parts, but I
Speaker 1: have not seen it all the way through. Now, okay,
Speaker 1: your next challenge, if you choose to accept it, is
Speaker 1: the Karate Kid from nineteen eighty four. Oh, we're even
Speaker 1: going back one more. Okay, Yeah, I'll accept it. Okay,
Speaker 1: two weeks from today, Mike will check with her. Morgan

Speaker 1: most right eighty nine Okay, that's good. We was Back
Speaker 1: to the Future review, right, Okay. I think you'll like
Speaker 1: the Karate Kid. But sometimes they're so dated that it's
Speaker 1: tough to really enjoy because it's just wildly old. I
Speaker 1: will say too, like watching Back to the Future is
Speaker 1: funny because all of like the jeans are coming back
Speaker 1: in style right now, so some of the things he
Speaker 1: was wearing. IM like, oh, we're wearing that right now, Marvin,
Speaker 1: Marvin Barry, Yes, do you get that reference? Yes, it's
Speaker 1: your brother cousin, cousin, Yeah, a long time and Barry, Okay,

Speaker 1: to do something crazy with a prank call. And this
Speaker 1: week he tried to buy John von Jovie's apartment using
Speaker 1: John bon Jovi's hit lyrics and let's just say the
Speaker 1: realtor was not having any part of it. Number five,
Speaker 1: here is Lunchbox trying to buy bon Jovie's apartment. Come on, so,
Speaker 1: Jason Gibbles Lunchboxes alter ego who tries to make deals,
Speaker 1: and he often says businessman making business deals, trying to
Speaker 1: get that money we talked briefly about bon Jovie's apartment
Speaker 1: twenty two million dollars in New York City. Lunchbox calls
Speaker 1: to try to make them a deal, and as he does,
Speaker 1: he weaves in bon Jovie lyrics. Yes, for example, it's
Speaker 1: my life. Maybe you know this song right here, it's
Speaker 1: he weaves that one in, maybe one in debtit or alive.
Speaker 1: Here is Lunchbox trying to call and buy John bon
Speaker 1: Jovi's apartment. Hi, this is different. Yeah, this is Jason Gibble,

Speaker 1: And I was trying to call and get some information
Speaker 1: on one fifty five. What's the eleventh street time property?
Speaker 1: Beautiful piece? Yeah, yeah, beautiful. Like I looked online, I
Speaker 1: was like, man, it's my life. It's now or never.
Speaker 1: If I'm going to upgrade to this because I'm forty,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna live forever. Wow, this is the place
Speaker 1: for you. It's four thousand square feet floor to ceiling
Speaker 1: windows over. When I look at those windows, while I
Speaker 1: was looking at the pictures online, I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I want that place. I want it dead or alive.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I got to be in there. Imagine this.
Speaker 1: You open up the doors, you come right out, and
Speaker 1: there's the city surrounding you. The best part is, here's
Speaker 1: the best part of it. My wife she tells me,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you're not romantic. Basically, she says, you
Speaker 1: give love a bad name. Well guess what when I
Speaker 1: surprised her with this, Uh, that's gonna change. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: hear you. Okay, so it has four bedrooms clogging now
Speaker 1: for real? Like, are you guys looking for a serious buyer?
Speaker 1: Once I submit this offer, I'm gonna be living on
Speaker 1: a prayer that you accept it. You know, or you've
Speaker 1: been doing it's quoting Bond Josey. I don't know if

Speaker 1: I have many properties to show, and you're waights in
Speaker 1: my time. Have a good day. That's a good one.
Speaker 1: There's a nice one. I guess. The thing that strikes
Speaker 1: me is you could just say those things normally, like
Speaker 1: you know when you give love a bad name, But
Speaker 1: it's almost like you're reading it, you're talking normal. Then
Speaker 1: you're like, and you give love a bad name? You
Speaker 1: wrote those down, y, I wrote those because I gotta
Speaker 1: remember them. Yeah, that's good though, any luck, do you
Speaker 1: get it? Do you get a showing it? I know
Speaker 1: she didn't. She didn't call me back. He left her
Speaker 1: number though, right I was like, oh no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: hang out and I try to car back. Nothing good one.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

Speaker 1: That's that's all I ever want to do. That's it
Speaker 1: for me. I mean, growing up in Texas, that's the
Speaker 1: biggest thing. Go or if you're an artist, to perform
Speaker 1: at the Houston Rodeo and the thing is sold out
Speaker 1: seventy thousand people. It's just craw. I don't know. The
Speaker 1: ACM thing hasn't really hit me yet. That was all

Speaker 1: you know, don't sing, but play me the chorus on
Speaker 1: your guitar. All right, here we go. I'm gonna do

Speaker 1: So why you got it? I'll start it? So why
Speaker 1: are you always angry? Why don't you just eat lunch?
Speaker 1: There's lots of leftovers. Just go and heat it up
Speaker 1: and use the microwave and clear off the screen when
Speaker 1: you're done. Just stop winding that you're hungry. Don't know
Speaker 1: the rest. And I never got this far with the song.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, thank you? It's our first. Yeah
Speaker 1: are you always angry? You didn't sing though? Oh I
Speaker 1: thought you were taking it home. I've never heard anyone
Speaker 1: take it home more than I just took it home. No,
Speaker 1: that's all the way home you ever get on stage.
Speaker 1: And this is on both sides of it, where one
Speaker 1: night you feel like, man, I'm killing it, like my
Speaker 1: voice is good, I'm on like just and you're like, man,
Speaker 1: this is one of those rare nights where everything is perfect.
Speaker 1: And then at the same time, do you have nights
Speaker 1: where you're like, man, everything is wrong, like I'm not hitting?
Speaker 1: Does that? Do those happen often? On either side? Man,
Speaker 1: I'm just so critical of it. It's always the second one.
Speaker 1: Every night. It's like, oh, man, well we just as
Speaker 1: soon as we walk off the bus, me and the band,
Speaker 1: or as soon as we walk off the stage, the
Speaker 1: band and I are always sitting there, you know, how'd
Speaker 1: your ears sound? How did it? You know? What'd you think?
Speaker 1: What the you know? And sometimes we feel like we
Speaker 1: play terrible or I sound terrible with the crowd energy
Speaker 1: is so electric it doesn't even matter, you know. So
Speaker 1: I'm in my head about it. Every single night. We
Speaker 1: record every show, listen to every you do, yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: like game tape, kind of like watching film you're gonna
Speaker 1: drive yourself crazy. It drives me insane. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to be perfect. I'm a big believer in getting better.
Speaker 1: But if I did that, I couldn't do it every
Speaker 1: night because I would always hate myself. Yeah, it's we
Speaker 1: usually get on the bus and someone do we listen
Speaker 1: to the show? And they'll be like, listen, and so
Speaker 1: it's I don't know, that's tough. Good for you. Do
Speaker 1: you feel like you get better from it? I hope. So.
Speaker 1: Do you ever say anything stupid? Like when you're talking
Speaker 1: and you're back and you're like, why did I say that? Oh?
Speaker 1: All the time? There's a video on the internet. One
Speaker 1: night we were playing somewhere in like Kansas or something.
Speaker 1: It's a big outdoor stage. It was super windy, and
Speaker 1: it was just blow and the whole show, And at
Speaker 1: some point it's like on TikTok or something that's popped
Speaker 1: up recently that sounds so stupid. I'm like, I'm like,
Speaker 1: how much wind can there be? It has to go
Speaker 1: all the way around the world at one point, like,
Speaker 1: surely we're going to run out of wind before the
Speaker 1: end of this show. It goes all the way around
Speaker 1: like it has to go to the other side at
Speaker 1: some point there's no way there's any wind left. And
Speaker 1: after the show you're like, what does he talk? We're listening.
Speaker 1: It's all smart, all coming up road for you right now. Man,
Speaker 1: you're about to get married. I mean, she's awesome. The
Speaker 1: just numera know, I'm gonna say she's the man, but
Speaker 1: she's not the man, she's the woman. Well you got
Speaker 1: it all going. Congrats on the wedding. You're not singing
Speaker 1: it your wedding, right, no, suir, Okay, thank god. It
Speaker 1: would just be awkward for everybody. It'd be awesome, it'd
Speaker 1: be awkward for everybody. And everything with me and Holly
Speaker 1: Ray is always about me. Like everything we go to
Speaker 1: is for me. Everything, you know, I've got to get
Speaker 1: on stage, do the interview, everything's that a way. And
Speaker 1: so I'm like, that's like such a big dage. She
Speaker 1: needs to be about her. So is that often a
Speaker 1: convert because we have that same conversation where so much
Speaker 1: is about when we go places. A lot of the
Speaker 1: time she just ends up being Bobby's wife and we
Speaker 1: have to purposefully find things that and I try to
Speaker 1: make an effort to do things where she's just not
Speaker 1: my wife or I'm just a dorky guy that's with
Speaker 1: her because she kind of deserves her own spotlight. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I always trying to just make sure that she doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like that, and I enjoy that, you know, Like
Speaker 1: I mean, everything is it's always we're always going somewhere
Speaker 1: doing something for me. So I'm always trying to go
Speaker 1: places and do stuff for her. But I don't know,
Speaker 1: she's really She's just the bomb dude. She handles it
Speaker 1: so well and it's still kind of new her. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of the things we do, like being
Speaker 1: at the Awards show, I think you thought that was
Speaker 1: the coolest thing in the world. She saw Brittany Aldine,
Speaker 1: and Brittany came over and said hello, so um, you
Speaker 1: know those those kind of things. I think she's probably
Speaker 1: it's probably okay too. Yeah, I congratulations the bank you there.
Speaker 1: He is Parker McCullum. I was working a couple of
Speaker 1: the lines here for the song that was smash Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: because at the second verse it goes, why are you
Speaker 1: always angry? Why don't you just eat lunch? There's lots
Speaker 1: of leftovers, just go and heat it up. And I
Speaker 1: feel like a food reference here, like, um, maybe have
Speaker 1: some pasta in the drawer. There's a grilled cheese, right,
Speaker 1: so let me find you, because she's what's a man

Speaker 1: How do you guys get in touch with each other? Well, actually,
Speaker 1: he called me he was interested in writing a book
Speaker 1: with me. I don't know why, but he was. I
Speaker 1: guess he had written a couple of things for different celebrities,
Speaker 1: for different popular people, and so he called and asked
Speaker 1: if I would be interested in writing a book with him.
Speaker 1: I said, well, that depends. I was shocked that he
Speaker 1: called start with. I thought, why does he need me?
Speaker 1: He's doing okay on his own. But I said I
Speaker 1: would be interested if it was really something I could
Speaker 1: really take part in and really be, you know, able
Speaker 1: to really contribute to it. So I said, won't you
Speaker 1: come to Nashville and we'll talk, And so he flew
Speaker 1: down and we got together and he told me that
Speaker 1: he'd like to write something about Nashville, and I thought, well,
Speaker 1: that's certainly something I know about. So it really worked
Speaker 1: out really well, and we just really clicked. I liked
Speaker 1: him a lot. I thought, well, we'll be able to
Speaker 1: work together, because it's very important when you have to
Speaker 1: do a project that you like the people who haven't
Speaker 1: spend that much time with. But he's really a great
Speaker 1: guy and we just got along great. We both were
Speaker 1: able to contribute a lot to each other. And me
Speaker 1: being in country music all my life and in Nashville
Speaker 1: for fifty seven years, I thought I knew a little
Speaker 1: bit about it. James Patterson is so successful in his
Speaker 1: line of work. Obviously you are in yours. But is
Speaker 1: there ever anyone or has there been any one in
Speaker 1: the last ten fifteen years that you've met and you've
Speaker 1: been star struck by. Well, I'm star struck by anybody
Speaker 1: that does really good work and tries to make a
Speaker 1: difference in the world. And that was one of the
Speaker 1: things I loved about James. He's really interested in making
Speaker 1: the world a better place as I am, and you know,
Speaker 1: he's very big on charity work for children and all that.
Speaker 1: So we really clicked on many ways. But I'm always
Speaker 1: impressed with people that do good things, so I can't
Speaker 1: just necessarily name a bunch of people. But I think
Speaker 1: it's all great when anybody steps up to try to
Speaker 1: do better. The ACM Awards are tonight on Amazon Prime
Speaker 1: Video and you're hosting, and I guess it goes to again,
Speaker 1: you've done so many really cool things. Do you get
Speaker 1: nervous to perform ever anymore? Well, you always get nervous
Speaker 1: because you want it to go well. You hope you
Speaker 1: don't mess up too bad. But that's what they call
Speaker 1: those butterflies. I don't think you ever outgrow that. I
Speaker 1: don't think it should because that's also part of the excitement.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm always hoping to do good and hoping I,
Speaker 1: you know, don't disappoint anybody. But just as soon as
Speaker 1: that light hits me, I'm often running then it's too
Speaker 1: late now. So I always look forward to it. I
Speaker 1: love the crowd, I love doing that. I've been doing
Speaker 1: television all my life, so I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it, really, you know. I was just
Speaker 1: looking at some of the stuff over the past since
Speaker 1: the last time we've spoken, which was the baking line
Speaker 1: with Duncan Hines, the ice cream, you know, the book
Speaker 1: that's out today, the music last they came out last Friday.
Speaker 1: And you know, there's so much that you're involved in.
Speaker 1: Do you have a person that you trust where you
Speaker 1: sit and you go, Okay, let's decide what massive projects
Speaker 1: we're going to take on next. Because I'm sure people
Speaker 1: are throwing ideas at you all the time. How they
Speaker 1: do I have been blessed to be surrounded with wonderful people,
Speaker 1: and of course in the marketing and management, Danny Nozell
Speaker 1: and his crew have done a wonderful job working all
Speaker 1: that out. You've got to have great press and Danny's
Speaker 1: always putting together a great group. And of course it
Speaker 1: depends on what all you're working with. That's what we
Speaker 1: do here in Nashville. Same with my people in East Tennessee,
Speaker 1: with Dollywood and the management there. You know, I just
Speaker 1: I am so blessed to have all these smart, wonderful
Speaker 1: people to help me out with all that. Of course
Speaker 1: I'm the creative, but they have to get out and
Speaker 1: do all the hard work and make all these wonderful
Speaker 1: things happen. Do you have a favorite song to sing
Speaker 1: live now and has that changed over the years where
Speaker 1: you have an affinity for a different songs as you know,
Speaker 1: different years go by. Well, it happens almost not just
Speaker 1: in years, but almost in days or nights, because sometimes
Speaker 1: if there's a certain thing going on that I relate
Speaker 1: to a certain song about, like for instance, Code of
Speaker 1: Many Colors, I sing all the time. But when my
Speaker 1: mother passed away, it was just so hard for several
Speaker 1: months for me to be able to sing that song
Speaker 1: without actually really breaking down where I couldn't even finish
Speaker 1: the song or even that little set you know about family.
Speaker 1: But now you know, I sing it and it takes
Speaker 1: on a different feel than it did when Mama was living.
Speaker 1: It's more of a precious memory kind of thing now.
Speaker 1: But sometimes, you know, it depends on the mood I'm in.
Speaker 1: Some nights, I love singing I Will always Love You Best.
Speaker 1: I always love singing that one, because every singer loves
Speaker 1: to have a song that where you can really sing
Speaker 1: low and let the dynamics, you know, where you can
Speaker 1: go up and down and then really let it go
Speaker 1: at the end. So I always enjoy that one, But
Speaker 1: I enjoy singing the songs that the audience responds to
Speaker 1: the most, Like when I start into nine to five,
Speaker 1: the crowd just goes crazy, start clapping even before I
Speaker 1: when they start hearing the you know, just the rhythm
Speaker 1: of the song. So it just depends on the night,
Speaker 1: but I'm thankful that all of them are received so well.
Speaker 1: I have two questions for you and we'll wrap here.
Speaker 1: But there was a story about Keith Urban being your
Speaker 1: dream duet partner. Are you guys actually working on that now?
Speaker 1: Because once that becomes a story, I think Keith probably
Speaker 1: reaches out like, is that is that the thing? Well?
Speaker 1: Actually I did a do it with him many many
Speaker 1: years ago with him, but I would love to actually
Speaker 1: have something else with him because I think our voice
Speaker 1: is fit. I've always loved him to death. He just
Speaker 1: feels like a member of my family who reminds me
Speaker 1: so much of my brothers Randy and Floyd, who I
Speaker 1: used to sing with all the time. So I would
Speaker 1: love to do something else with Keith and have a
Speaker 1: real single and have a big hit. But he's got
Speaker 1: you know, he's got so many people are running after him.
Speaker 1: But anyhow, someday that'll happen again. I hope He's so talented.
Speaker 1: I love him. Final question is after you do a
Speaker 1: performance of any kind, does someone then grab your clothes
Speaker 1: and go, okay, we have to say this, because this
Speaker 1: we will donate it, we will put it on display,
Speaker 1: like every single thing you wear, is that a thing? Well,
Speaker 1: actually everything I wear. If I really love it, I'll
Speaker 1: wear that again, especially if I'm on tour. And after
Speaker 1: a few weeks somebody asked me if I only wear
Speaker 1: clothes wants. No, there are some things I only wear ones,
Speaker 1: like if it's a really big event, and then we
Speaker 1: put that in the museum. But that's rare because usually
Speaker 1: I'll wear things different times until I'm finished with that,
Speaker 1: and sometimes we even remake them, like if they're a
Speaker 1: long gown, we might shorten it and then I'll wear
Speaker 1: it like that for a while, and then if it's
Speaker 1: done so many important things, it goes in the museum
Speaker 1: or we auctioning off at some charity events. You guys
Speaker 1: can't go to shopt Dolly parton dot com. Get Run
Speaker 1: Rose Run. The music came out last Friday. Dolly, thank you,
Speaker 1: great to see you and hopefully I will see you soon.
Speaker 1: Good luck tonight, okay, thank you, looking forward to it
Speaker 1: all right, bye bye. It's the Best Bits of the
Speaker 1: Week with Morgan number two, and of course this one
Speaker 1: had to come in hot at number one, because oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, what a crazy story from Abbey about her
Speaker 1: boyfriend a medical emergency, Like just so crazy of a story,
Speaker 1: and we're so glad to hear her. He's okay, but
Speaker 1: you got to hear it for yourself, because this is
Speaker 1: just like one and a million I don't actually know
Speaker 1: the odds, but this is like one in a million
Speaker 1: chance that this happens to somebody, and it happened to
Speaker 1: Abby's boyfriend, and it was really scary for her, scary
Speaker 1: for him, just ate all around crazy situation, and she
Speaker 1: shared it with us so seriously though, so glad he's okay,
Speaker 1: and it love to him if he happens to be
Speaker 1: listening to the Best Bits right now. Number one. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Abby and her boyfriend being airlifted to
Speaker 1: the hospital. You guys voted before he came to the segment.
Speaker 1: This is the one you wanted to hear. Yes, Abby,
Speaker 1: so you have a new boyfriend. You guys have been
Speaker 1: dating for how long now? It was February third, So
Speaker 1: that's a little over a month fresh Verry. So if
Speaker 1: you call the show, Abby's our phone screener. She has
Speaker 1: a new boyfriend. And why that's quick to even be
Speaker 1: a boyfriend. Huh Well, I mean that's like when we
Speaker 1: were like official. But it was before Christmas, so and
Speaker 1: so what happens? What happened? Yeah, okay. So I went
Speaker 1: home to visit him a couple of weekends ago, had
Speaker 1: a great time. I got to meet some of his friends.
Speaker 1: We went to a show. And then so he lives
Speaker 1: like an hour or so away from Wichita, which is
Speaker 1: Whichita was where my parents live. So we were gonna
Speaker 1: he was gonna meet them the final night, and we
Speaker 1: went to dinner and it was just like a super
Speaker 1: quick dinner, and then we kind of went our separate ways.
Speaker 1: They were going to take me to the airport the
Speaker 1: next day, and he of home and I didn't really
Speaker 1: hear from him, and I was like, Okay, I guess
Speaker 1: maybe he fell asleep, you know, And so he calls
Speaker 1: me at six in the morning and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's calling me to say, you know, are you awake
Speaker 1: for the airport? You know, you better go? Yeah. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, how sweet? And I answer, and he's like,
Speaker 1: don't worry, I'm fine, but I am in the hospital.
Speaker 1: I was in the r and I had to be
Speaker 1: airlifted in the helicopter to Kansas to k You met
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, and I was like, what I thought
Speaker 1: I was dreaming? I mean, this is six in the
Speaker 1: morning and you had just seen him the night before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everything I thought was fine, and I was like, what
Speaker 1: are you saying. The first thing I thought was, you know,
Speaker 1: he was in an accident, like a car accident or something.
Speaker 1: But it turns out as we were eating dinner, he
Speaker 1: went to the bathroom really quick, and I wondered why.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that was kind of weird. He
Speaker 1: didn't say anything. He choked in the bathroom. He was
Speaker 1: choking on a piece of meat and it ruptured his esophagus.
Speaker 1: What so there was like a tiny hole in his
Speaker 1: esophagus and on his drive home he was in so
Speaker 1: much pain. And it turns out his chest cavity was
Speaker 1: full of air, like if he would have gone the
Speaker 1: whole Yes, as he was coughing and drinking water, it
Speaker 1: was like leaking out of hiesophagus. Who oh, Like that's
Speaker 1: like life threatening. So then what happened. He pulls over
Speaker 1: it as he So he went home and he was like, okay,
Speaker 1: this is not normal. And he called one of his
Speaker 1: neighbors because he lives kind of in a smaller town,
Speaker 1: and he was like, what do I do? Like, she
Speaker 1: was like, I'll drive you to the hospital. And they
Speaker 1: don't have the resources at that hospital for what he needed.
Speaker 1: So that's why they needed to get a helicopter to
Speaker 1: take into Kansas City. He remember the helicopter ride. He does, yeah,
Speaker 1: and he was like, yep, he was. And it's funny
Speaker 1: because one of the medics on there was like asking
Speaker 1: him questions and he's like, so, do you have a
Speaker 1: girlfriend and he's like yeah, she's in Nashville. And they're
Speaker 1: like if she a singer. He's like no, she works
Speaker 1: in radio. And they're like, oh my gosh, Morgan. He's
Speaker 1: like no. I was like, what in the world. Why
Speaker 1: are you guys having a conversation on the way to
Speaker 1: the hospital. Now, Yes, he has not been able to
Speaker 1: eat for two weeks and he has another week or
Speaker 1: you can't eat. He's been drinking like he's lost weight.
Speaker 1: It is It's insane. I didn't even know this was
Speaker 1: a thing this could happened, but through his esophagus, like
Speaker 1: he can take liquid or like a feeding tube. So
Speaker 1: they had to do a test where you drink this
Speaker 1: die to make sure it's not leaking out really bad
Speaker 1: or he would have had surgery. So, like I was
Speaker 1: waiting for those results and it was so nerve wracking.
Speaker 1: Are you excited about this Saturday? Yeah, he's gonna come. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's the first time I'm seeing him since this has happened,
Speaker 1: so I'm very excited. Bring him on stage. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: And just so that we're learning from this segment as well.
Speaker 1: Like online, it says you have to go to the
Speaker 1: emergency room right away if you feel like this happening
Speaker 1: with your esophagus, because if it is treated within twenty
Speaker 1: four hours, chances of survival are high. But then if not,
Speaker 1: it goes all downhill from there because it was all
Speaker 1: going into his chest cavity. Yeah, yeah, I mean that.
Speaker 1: I'm glad victory, But who would have you got a
Speaker 1: helicopter ride? That's fun meat, I can't believe it. Um
Speaker 1: Abby will be on Saturday with us. The Raging Idiots
Speaker 1: are playing Strawberry Festival right outside of Tampa and Plant City, Florida.
