Speaker 1: It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan Number two.
Speaker 1: Let's up, y'all, welcome to the Best Bits, just the Bits.
Speaker 1: I'm Morgan and I'm breaking down the Bobby Bone Show
Speaker 1: from this week. These are the best seven segments that
Speaker 1: y'all either engaged with a lot called in about, or
Speaker 1: just had a lot of opinions on whatever it may be.
Speaker 1: That's why they're on here. Or kicking things off with
Speaker 1: number seven, everyone shared a popular TV show that they
Speaker 1: have no interest in. And it was really funny to
Speaker 1: see the comments on this one on social media because
Speaker 1: everybody has favorite TV shows, but that doesn't mean everybody
Speaker 1: else is gonna like them, right, And that's kind of
Speaker 1: what this segment is all about. And everybody shared their's.
Speaker 1: And you know, there's one show I have to say
Speaker 1: that I never got into and it was Euphoria. I
Speaker 1: tried the first episode and I just couldn't do it,
Speaker 1: and it was super popular. Everybody was watching it, so
Speaker 1: I'm still shocked. Maybe I need to give it one
Speaker 1: more go. But that's the popular TV show at this point.
Speaker 1: I have no interest in Number seven. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: what show you really don't have an interest in watching?
Speaker 1: Even though it's super popular. Right now, just a second.
Speaker 1: But the reason we're talking about it is because The
Speaker 1: Mandalorian has eighty four million views in twenty four hours
Speaker 1: as far as the trailer goes. Now, Wow, I bet
Speaker 1: you the Mandalorians really great. But I never watched Star Wars.
Speaker 1: I never got into the Mandalorian, but Mighty loves Mandalorian.
Speaker 1: I love the Mandalorian. I think if you even haven't
Speaker 1: seen any Star Wars movie, you could get into this show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it has nothing to do with the Star Wars
Speaker 1: storyline really, but I still I don't really have an interest,
Speaker 1: but I bet you it's good. Yeah, kind of shows
Speaker 1: you like, I think you would be interested in this shot.
Speaker 1: Is it annoying to you that there's not a bit
Speaker 1: contingent of Mandalorian watchers here on this show? Yeah? Nobody
Speaker 1: else watching this show? Batty? Do you watch it religiously? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you just catch like, like, I see I saw the
Speaker 1: preview for this, and I'm like, oh, maybe if I
Speaker 1: get there. I'm watching some other shows right now. Maybe
Speaker 1: if I have time, I'll watch it. But what about
Speaker 1: the first Mandalorian saw it? Loved it? But did you
Speaker 1: watch it every week, like waiting for it. No, No,
Speaker 1: my son watched it first. He said it's good. Then
Speaker 1: I watched it with him again. Have you watched the
Speaker 1: Butcher and Hatchet? Hatchet? I saw the preview. He's like,
Speaker 1: I was a dogtown, I was skateboarding and then wow,
Speaker 1: and then he did a little message before He's like,
Speaker 1: piece of love. Everybody's worthy. Everybody's worthy. Dude, that looks
Speaker 1: so good. It's a one shot deal. It's a one
Speaker 1: it's not an episode. It's a documentary. Yeah, the hatchet
Speaker 1: wielding hitchhiker and the fact that you guys won't watch
Speaker 1: that because you should. It's awesome. Yeah, you should watch that.
Speaker 1: So what show is it? And I'll give you a
Speaker 1: show of mine, which is a White Lotus. Like, I
Speaker 1: don't really don't care to watch it. I'm sure it's good.
Speaker 1: I've never seen an episode. I have no interest in
Speaker 1: going to pursue White Lotus. You would love it though,
Speaker 1: probably you would love it, great storyline. So what show
Speaker 1: do you have no interest watching? Is popular right now?
Speaker 1: Amy that whatever? The followed Game of Thrones, the new one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you never watched Game of Thrones, so I just
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect exactly you would like that one exactly my point.
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't think you'd like a prequel or a
Speaker 1: sequel if you didn't like the original. But it's really good.
Speaker 1: But you can watch that and really like it. House
Speaker 1: a Dragon that Oh, it's so good and so simple,
Speaker 1: compared to Game of Thrones, which was like studying trigonometry.
Speaker 1: Because I got that, I was like, oh, I'm tired,
Speaker 1: I need to check out. Didn't like trigger. I've been
Speaker 1: cramina a night. You're back in school, Bob watch Game
Speaker 1: of Thrones, Eddie Yellowstone, Oh man, I was. I was
Speaker 1: a cowboy and my dad bought a ranch when we
Speaker 1: were in middle school, you know, like dude, I'd rope
Speaker 1: cows and stuff and like live that life. I watched
Speaker 1: The First Step is the first season, like half of
Speaker 1: the first season, Like, I don't want this? Why so unrealistic?
Speaker 1: I think I think you'd like it. Is a little
Speaker 1: corny at times. I think if you stayed with it,
Speaker 1: you'd like it. But that's a good example. You have
Speaker 1: no interest. But it's very popular. We all love it.
Speaker 1: All the cowboys. They go in the little house and
Speaker 1: play guitar and singing it. They don't all one day
Speaker 1: stop it, get out of here, Okay, Eddy Stole Mine.
Speaker 1: It's Yellowstone because I watch it and it seems so corny,
Speaker 1: and it reminds me of the TV show Nashville. When
Speaker 1: it was on, everybody loved it, and I would see
Speaker 1: the previews and I was like, that looks so corny.
Speaker 1: I like Nashville. It was corny. Though It's almost like,
Speaker 1: if you know it's corny, you're not turned off by
Speaker 1: the corn and so that's why it's yello still in
Speaker 1: the same way because when I see a corny sometimes,
Speaker 1: but it also makes up for it with like fighting
Speaker 1: and dramatic and a lot of drama. Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. It is corny at times though. Yes,
Speaker 1: Raymondo any show there boy likes yeah, Breaking Bad. I
Speaker 1: just feel like it would make me more interested in drugs,
Speaker 1: and I've never known anything about drugs, so I don't
Speaker 1: want to be a part of that. You think you'd
Speaker 1: go to being a meth user immediately? No, you like
Speaker 1: dangy Walter White's gonna Okay. I feel like I would
Speaker 1: research it a little bit, and it's just not the
Speaker 1: path I want to go down interesting. It's good, though
Speaker 1: it's also not a new show. It's not really popular, nause.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to like The Sopranos. I never watched
Speaker 1: The Sopranos, and I'm sure it's amazing, but it really
Speaker 1: had no interest and I'm not gonna get it. Friday
Speaker 1: Night Lights, same thing. Oh, I know, right, but I
Speaker 1: have no interests. There are all these new shows that
Speaker 1: I want to watch, all right. When it goes to
Speaker 1: old shows, you never watched, Amy, don't say Game of
Speaker 1: Thrones because if you do, I'm gonna dump your table over. Okay,
Speaker 1: give me a second. Okay, Eddie watch Dexter No, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no. House of Cards, never watched? That's good. Cossa
Speaker 1: Cars is good? What's the one with the is that
Speaker 1: the one with Kevin Spacey? Yeah, isn't real good. But
Speaker 1: then whenever he got in trouble and they came back
Speaker 1: without him, wasn't that good? Yeah? And then I was like,
Speaker 1: but he had to go, Yeah he had to go,
Speaker 1: but I'll missed him. Entourage you guys love that one,
Speaker 1: and that was for the time too, But that was awesome.
Speaker 1: Oh I can't believe Amy, did you come to anything.
Speaker 1: I feel like most of the old one, like I
Speaker 1: just started, I was late to the Gray's Anatomy train.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch a lot of it for years and
Speaker 1: now now a minute. The one that I didn't care
Speaker 1: about was one of the fifties or the ad Agency
Speaker 1: mad Men. Yeah, that I was gonna say, mad Men,
Speaker 1: and then another one down to n Abbey or down
Speaker 1: a n Abby whatever. I tried it. I know a
Speaker 1: language I were talking, had to put it on close
Speaker 1: caption or whatever, and I think it's English. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: struggle with it show I can't get back into with
Speaker 1: the new season that came out, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: was so invested, but the I've tried to start the
Speaker 1: latest season of The Crown and I can't. It should
Speaker 1: be the most interesting and fascinating because Princess Diana and
Speaker 1: I can't quite get there. And I don't know why
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the new Dexter on HBO, not because
Speaker 1: I haven't wanted to, I just haven't thought about it,
Speaker 1: like when it comes to Passion things. I'm in the
Speaker 1: middle of a couple other shows now which sometimes I
Speaker 1: don't want to say what I'm into on the show
Speaker 1: because I don't people to spoil it for me, and
Speaker 1: then when I'm done, I'll be like thumbs up, thumbs down. Smart.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the Jeffrey Dahmer or stuff on that.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that, don't I think I would
Speaker 1: have becamel almost like I don't want to watch Yes,
Speaker 1: that's like what Raycin put you in a dark place.
Speaker 1: I don't want to murder because I'd watch it and
Speaker 1: I going out exactly watched Ted Bundy. That was the
Speaker 1: one that was good. Though it was good. It's the
Speaker 1: best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two, the
Speaker 1: show also discussed their favorite artist they loved as a kid,
Speaker 1: somebody that they really couldn't get enough of. They were
Speaker 1: a stand of them, and then are they a stand today?
Speaker 1: That was the topic of conversation and it turned into
Speaker 1: who was your first concert? Who is the most recent
Speaker 1: concert that you're going to go to? It was really
Speaker 1: fun conversation and that's what's happening right here at number six.
Speaker 1: Number six question the day, who was the first band, artist,
Speaker 1: musician that you were really into as a kid that

Speaker 1: My well, my uncle worked for him at the time,
Speaker 1: so yeah, like managed his ranch and so being you
Speaker 1: know Texas girl, my dad's cell Texas, so it's like
Speaker 1: just lots of tie in. So we listened to a
Speaker 1: lot of George Straight and loved it. Yeah, if your
Speaker 1: uncle works for him, that's pretty cool. And you met
Speaker 1: him as a kid, yeah, And I wore oh so embarrassing.
Speaker 1: We went to this ranch to visit my uncle. And
Speaker 1: I don't know why my dad let me do this,
Speaker 1: but I wore a George Straight shirt. But how old
Speaker 1: were you a kid? Probably ten? That's not embarrassing. As

Speaker 1: to play a show, would you go if tickets were free? Yes,
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday night? No? Probably not. I had to
Speaker 1: say no for that lunch bug. It's Tina Turner. And
Speaker 1: it was all because of my mom. We were driving
Speaker 1: to Chicago to see her parents, and we stopped at
Speaker 1: McDonald's and you went through the drive through and you
Speaker 1: got a combo meal and for two ninety nine you
Speaker 1: could get a Tina Turner Greatest Hits cassette or some
Speaker 1: other person. And my mom was like, we're getting the
Speaker 1: Tina cassette. And we listened to it all the to Chicago,
Speaker 1: and I was like, this lady is phenomenal. I was
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve years old, first time I'd really listen
Speaker 1: to music, and I was like, this is it. You
Speaker 1: were eleven the first time you heard music. There was
Speaker 1: no music before then then I really lived like I
Speaker 1: didn't ever sit around and listen to it, like I
Speaker 1: didn't have but it never just played and you never
Speaker 1: had favorite songs or anything like my parents played records
Speaker 1: all the time, and I just didn't pay attention. My
Speaker 1: brother and sister were really into new kids on the block. Um.
Speaker 1: They loved that. Every time we got in the car,
Speaker 1: they'd play that brother did openly, openly. I liked him,
Speaker 1: but I always hit it. Yeah, oh, every time we
Speaker 1: get in the car, oh, put it in. And my
Speaker 1: brother and sister would fight over hanging tough or step
Speaker 1: by step, and so they had each other. I want
Speaker 1: to hang a job, and I'm just like, guys, what
Speaker 1: this is? What are we doing? But Tina Turner made
Speaker 1: you fall. Tina Turner made me realize that music could
Speaker 1: be cool, and I still love her today. I would go.
Speaker 1: I would drive two hundred miles if I had to
Speaker 1: go see her, but she'll never perform again. I was
Speaker 1: thinking about who I like. I bought a tape four
Speaker 1: or would record off the radio, and they're way different.
Speaker 1: But obviously Garth Brooks. Of course, where I'm from in Arkansas,
Speaker 1: everybody was Garth All the time, we weren't Oklahoma, that's
Speaker 1: where he's from, but still was close enough. And he's
Speaker 1: the greatest. But then and I didn't have any older siblings,
Speaker 1: but Presidents of the United States of America into the country.
Speaker 1: That was my first, Like I found it on my own.
Speaker 1: It could not get enough and pursued it just because
Speaker 1: I was like, this is the greatest sound ever. And
Speaker 1: I found out the guy the guitarist played the three
Speaker 1: string guitar. That was it. He's had three strings on
Speaker 1: and they had they had this and Lump remember Lump.
Speaker 1: Probably Lump said alone in a buggy marsh totally emotionless,
Speaker 1: succept for heart, remember that one. Yeah, it's love. He's
Speaker 1: in my head. Yeah, I wasn't. It was funny. It
Speaker 1: was fun It was catchy, very different. But you see
Speaker 1: them now or you would, oh yeah, okay, I drive
Speaker 1: two hundred miles way, I don't know. I love the
Speaker 1: Presidents of the United States of America and I would
Speaker 1: buy their album was way after that Little Doom Bugget
Speaker 1: in the Sand. I could do. Oh man. So that's
Speaker 1: the first one that I found. But the one that
Speaker 1: was kind of put upon me was Garth Brooks is
Speaker 1: my favorite because everybody loved it, so then I loved it.

Speaker 1: It's the best Bits of the week with Morgan. Number
Speaker 1: two Party stop by the show this week to talk
Speaker 1: about his new album, The mocking Bird and the Crow,
Speaker 1: and I highly suggest you check this one out because
Speaker 1: halfway through the album he goes from country genre to
Speaker 1: rock genre, and there's a song that's right in the
Speaker 1: middle that is half country, half rock. So top to bottom,
Speaker 1: this album is just so good. It's so different nothing
Speaker 1: I've ever heard before. And I really enjoy seeing the
Speaker 1: translation between the two genres for him and what that
Speaker 1: all looked like. So when he was on the show
Speaker 1: this week, he performed one of those new songs from
Speaker 1: the album, and you can check that out on our
Speaker 1: YouTube page at Bobby Bone Show. But he also shared
Speaker 1: a story about ghosts and paranormal activity. Basically, he collects
Speaker 1: a lot of artifacts and he thinks they brought in
Speaker 1: some really crazy juju to his house, so much so
Speaker 1: that there's been things that have happened and he can't
Speaker 1: explain it. So definitely hear this full interview and then
Speaker 1: go check out his performance number five. But to have
Speaker 1: Hardy right here in studio on this age. Hardy's got
Speaker 1: a couple number ones that he has as an artist.
Speaker 1: I mean not to count the ones he's written for
Speaker 1: other people, but you would know this song called one Beer.
Speaker 1: He's got a song with Landy Wilson right now called
Speaker 1: Waiting the Truck. Here's a clip of that. He's a
Speaker 1: great songwriter, obviously a great artist. He's been on tour
Speaker 1: with Morgan Wallen he's got the long hair, the dark glasses.
Speaker 1: He's like a cooler version of me. Let's admit it.
Speaker 1: He's a cooler version of me. Here he is celebrating
Speaker 1: his new album, The Mockingbird and the Crow that is out.
Speaker 1: Now Here is Hardy on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Hardy,
Speaker 1: what's going on? Buddy? How are you? Good man? Good
Speaker 1: to see you again. I think it's I saw you
Speaker 1: perform a couple of times, but I haven't. I guess
Speaker 1: we haven't like seen each other personally in a while.
Speaker 1: But may I tell you what? You go, hard It's
Speaker 1: awesome and it's like you go, it's it's really cool
Speaker 1: to see. I guess we talked on the phone. You
Speaker 1: told me you like believed in ghosts or you text
Speaker 1: something about ghosts. I had a ghost story my house.
Speaker 1: Is this a real story or it's a real story? Man?
Speaker 1: I was always like apprehensive and skeptical. And there's some
Speaker 1: stuff that happened that I can't, I literally cannot explain.
Speaker 1: And I lived alone, so I collect Native American artifacts
Speaker 1: like arrowheads and stuff like that. And the short story
Speaker 1: as I found a place on the Cumberland River that
Speaker 1: was very potent and the river had gotten really high
Speaker 1: for a long time and then it dropped, and so
Speaker 1: basically it had shaved away a lot of the dirt
Speaker 1: on the river bank. And which is what you do
Speaker 1: when you go look right, you wait for a big
Speaker 1: rain and it washes away new dirt, new find arrowheads
Speaker 1: in it. And a buddy of mine and myself found
Speaker 1: this spot and it was just there was like a
Speaker 1: ton of broken arrowheads, a ton of earraw. It was
Speaker 1: just really really potent and like fresh, and we both
Speaker 1: kind of had like a We were like, man, this
Speaker 1: is like spooky because it's like the first time it's
Speaker 1: been revealed, you know, to the earth or whatever. Anyway,
Speaker 1: so we found some stuff and I took it home,
Speaker 1: and like a week later, man, I mean there's a
Speaker 1: million stories. I woke up, all the lights will be
Speaker 1: on in the house. All my countertop appliances would be unplugged.
Speaker 1: What do you mean unplugged like litter from the plugs
Speaker 1: like blender, toaster, microwave lamp. Was this when you had
Speaker 1: enough money for a housekeeper? Maybe they did that. No,
Speaker 1: I lived completely alone, and it would be like like
Speaker 1: it was on the night before, like when I went
Speaker 1: to bed, like a microwave. Nobody unplugs a microwave. UM,
Speaker 1: And were you drinking the night before, dude, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: Callie and I hung a big mirror m and the
Speaker 1: next day we went to look at the mirror and
Speaker 1: there was a giant scratch across the front of the mirror. UM.
Speaker 1: One night we were watching Yellowstone, and there's no way
Speaker 1: you can't there's no way you can justify the scratch.
Speaker 1: I want to be able to, but I promise you
Speaker 1: I cannot. I have no idea how to justify it.
Speaker 1: To tell me the Yellowstone one the before I go
Speaker 1: on any farther, go ahead, we were watching Yellowstone and
Speaker 1: we heard a noise downstairs and she was like, what
Speaker 1: was that? And I was like, I sounded like a
Speaker 1: chair got like scooted across the floor. And we had
Speaker 1: a chair from our kitchen table that had been like
Speaker 1: scooted like ten feet out from our kitchen table. And
Speaker 1: when I tell you, like, I lived in Joelton in
Speaker 1: a house in a cabin that's driveway was like a
Speaker 1: mile and a half long in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows where this house is, Like, it's completely impossible
Speaker 1: that it was it was a person. Plus the doors
Speaker 1: were locked and everything. So your theory can't prove it
Speaker 1: right or wrong. Is that it's possible that from your
Speaker 1: collection of Native Americas, Yeah, you brought something home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and why do you still do you still have the
Speaker 1: other thing? So we eventually because I dumped them immediately
Speaker 1: since I thought that I would get rid of them.
Speaker 1: I had one moment Callie quit staying with me because
Speaker 1: she was so freaked out because it was it was
Speaker 1: always something like it wasn't just those things, like it
Speaker 1: was like a light would turn on and off downstairs
Speaker 1: while we were awake, like it was crazy stuff that
Speaker 1: was never it wasn't like poulter Geist like we saw
Speaker 1: anything or anything crazy. But I had one There was
Speaker 1: five days in a row that I woke up through
Speaker 1: two fifty nine or three in the morning on the dot.
Speaker 1: And the last morning I did it, I got up
Speaker 1: out of bed and this this house kind of it
Speaker 1: just had a loft with a master bedroom and it
Speaker 1: was really creaky. It was a cabin and when I
Speaker 1: got out of bed and turned my lamp on, something
Speaker 1: jumped from the loft of my house to the floor
Speaker 1: and ran through the house. And I jumped out of bed.
Speaker 1: I thought somebody. I literally thought somebody was in my house.
Speaker 1: It was a big thing, like a human size thing.
Speaker 1: Wasn't a mouse, No, it shook the dishes in the
Speaker 1: dishwasher kind of deal. And I jumped up and like
Speaker 1: went through the whole house and and then we went.
Speaker 1: Callie was like, let's get some sage and just try
Speaker 1: to see if we can sage the house. And we
Speaker 1: saged every corner and I went in there with like
Speaker 1: a purpose and was very like stern and was like
Speaker 1: if we have something of yours or blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: like we're sorry, but we're you know, it's time for
Speaker 1: you to leave. You said it out loud. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: felt like an idiot, felt like and um, we'd never
Speaker 1: had a problem again. But my mom, who has never
Speaker 1: told a lie in her entire life, would go out
Speaker 1: there occasionally just it's like a really pretty place in
Speaker 1: My parents live here, so they would go out there
Speaker 1: to like hang out or something when I there or gone.
Speaker 1: And my mom said that she would go in that bedroom,
Speaker 1: the one with the mirror scratch, and that the lamp
Speaker 1: would turn on and off and she would be like okay,
Speaker 1: I'm leaving, and then as she would go to walk
Speaker 1: out the front door, that the lamp by the front
Speaker 1: door would turn on and off after after we saged it.
Speaker 1: It's almost like an electrical it is a cabin, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean it could be a huge coincidence. But the
Speaker 1: chair scooting across the floor and then scratch on the mirror,
Speaker 1: and the thing jumping from my loft, I cannot explain that,
Speaker 1: and it was one hundred percent real, And I can't
Speaker 1: prove it that that it's not real because I wasn't there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you not believing ghosts at all in the form of
Speaker 1: how people describe them. I struggle with it. I obviously
Speaker 1: think there are things bigger, and my brain doesn't have
Speaker 1: the capacity to understand things that it simply has not seen.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's so much that we can't
Speaker 1: even imagine that we don't even know is out there.
Speaker 1: I think science can explain it. I mean, we didn't
Speaker 1: know radio waves existed till like a hundred something years ago.
Speaker 1: That's a great point, but science then prove they did,
Speaker 1: so now we do, I guess until we have some
Speaker 1: sort of machine that so yes, and that is a
Speaker 1: valid point until I like, counterpoint you with going, but
Speaker 1: then science did go that's true, and so I don't
Speaker 1: have that, so I still can well. I think that
Speaker 1: a lot of it is like people think it's all
Speaker 1: like focus pocus, and so they think it's silly to
Speaker 1: invest a lot of money and like tom to and
Speaker 1: you know, invest in stuff that could try to prove
Speaker 1: that they were real. I think I can't prove that
Speaker 1: you're not right. And my only story is my grandmother
Speaker 1: adopted me for a long time, very instrumental in all
Speaker 1: my life, lived with her foremost of my life. And
Speaker 1: she left me a guitar and it was a writing
Speaker 1: a guitar, but she played it in church and she
Speaker 1: never took a lesson. And you know, I went to
Speaker 1: a Pentecostal church when I was young, before I went
Speaker 1: to a Baptist church. I grew up in a very
Speaker 1: rural town in Arkansas. And so she left it and
Speaker 1: it was really all she had to leave. And I
Speaker 1: remember I was like talking she had died and whatever,
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, if you send me some
Speaker 1: kind of sign or whatever, that thing and the freaking
Speaker 1: guitar fell over, Oh really it fell and I dude, Now,
Speaker 1: did I I don't know. I don't know if I did.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think I kicked it. But
Speaker 1: the guitar fell over. Yeah, but I still struggle because
Speaker 1: I can't see it, touch it, feel it. STS can't
Speaker 1: show me to just go yes, it's absolutely true, but
Speaker 1: I can't tell you you're wrong. I just go dang. Now,
Speaker 1: listen to one more story, lunchbox. Tell him your story,
Speaker 1: and then you tell me if you think he's legitimate,
Speaker 1: because he's held onto the story for fifteen years. So
Speaker 1: and my buddy's house, who lived like four houses down
Speaker 1: for me, I spending the night one night and I
Speaker 1: get up to go to the bathroom and I walked
Speaker 1: down the hallway and a ghost pushes me in the closet,
Speaker 1: locks the door, and it gets really cold in there,
Speaker 1: and I cannot open the door. And there is a
Speaker 1: ghost because we would be there after school and you
Speaker 1: would see footprints on the stairs and the front door
Speaker 1: would unlock and lock with us just sitting on the couch.
Speaker 1: No one's touching it. And these guys do not believe me,
Speaker 1: but happened? Tell them where the ghost touched you? Though? No, No,
Speaker 1: there was no, I just tell you it shoved me
Speaker 1: in the closet and I could not get out and
Speaker 1: it got really really cold in the closet. I can't
Speaker 1: prove it didn't have him, but he lies so much
Speaker 1: that just based on that alone, and it's hard to
Speaker 1: believe it. Look, Hardy's here, You have a new record,
Speaker 1: that's that's out. We have a lot to talk about
Speaker 1: music wise. We kind of got on that sidetrack there.
Speaker 1: But so as far as I would just imagine with
Speaker 1: you being such a prominent songwriter, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if you do this to yourself, but do you put
Speaker 1: extra pressure on yourself when you put out a project
Speaker 1: of your own because people know you for being a
Speaker 1: great songwriter and performer a little bit because its sons
Speaker 1: to be really good because we know all the great
Speaker 1: stuff you've written for other folks too. No, I agree.
Speaker 1: I think that it has to beat the stuff that
Speaker 1: I've had cut on other people are else. People would
Speaker 1: just constantly be like, oh, why didn't you put that
Speaker 1: out yourself? But you know, like my record cycle is
Speaker 1: usually two years, and so I mean I pick usually,
Speaker 1: I mean it still has to be me, you know,
Speaker 1: but I pick like the best ten fifteen songs of
Speaker 1: that those two years or so that for myself, I
Speaker 1: have any feel the pressure for sure. Anything you've held
Speaker 1: on for over a year, that's something they made the record?
Speaker 1: Um oh yeah, Jack, I think was a first song
Speaker 1: that we cut and that one you still stayed in
Speaker 1: love with even a year later. Yeah, because that's hard.
Speaker 1: It was kind of the first song that since the
Speaker 1: records have country and a half rock, that was the
Speaker 1: first song that kind of sparked the rock side of things,
Speaker 1: so that we kind of based that's the cornerstone of
Speaker 1: the rock side of stuff. So we held onto that
Speaker 1: one for forever. How do you do because there are
Speaker 1: seventeen songs on this what's a good number of tracks?
Speaker 1: And then why do you cut it off? Or why
Speaker 1: did you add a couple more? You mean just to
Speaker 1: make a record? Yeah, I mean seventeen? Why the number? Why?
Speaker 1: I don't know? I mean, I really we had I
Speaker 1: think I had like seven and seven and Joey Moy
Speaker 1: and Seth were like, let's see if we can get
Speaker 1: a couple more and it just sort of turned out
Speaker 1: to be that way. And for it to be like
Speaker 1: a half and a half thing, I wanted it to
Speaker 1: be like a decent amount on both sides. You've really
Speaker 1: walked that line, though, because again you say, and I've
Speaker 1: heard the record two halfs rock, halfs country, but there's
Speaker 1: also kind of a blurry a few songs on there
Speaker 1: too that could be both. But I think you've created
Speaker 1: that space and country music where you listen you go, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: sure it's right, but I could also hear this like
Speaker 1: and in the opposite. I mean, you ever get those
Speaker 1: guys go oh, you're too rot for this place, man,
Speaker 1: A little bit. I mean, maybe not that like direct,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean some of that when you're doing
Speaker 1: Hicks tape where people are like, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: it's a little too crazy. He probably can't work or
Speaker 1: did nobody care enough. Not I wasn't big enough for
Speaker 1: anybody to care yet, but um, I mean, I definitely
Speaker 1: feel like there's some apprehension, especially in the country world.
Speaker 1: I've actually been the rock world has been super super
Speaker 1: cool and has accepted me more than I honestly even
Speaker 1: thought they would, and I'm very thankful for that. But
Speaker 1: I mean, there's definitely been a little bit of apprehension
Speaker 1: from some of my songs being too heavy or whatever.
Speaker 1: You grew up in a small town in Mississippi. What
Speaker 1: was that town like and what did people listen to
Speaker 1: either on the radio or CD? Like? What'd you grow
Speaker 1: up around? I grew up, Well, Philadelphia is awesome, by
Speaker 1: the way, I like you hear a lot of people
Speaker 1: talk about like, I'm glad I left that, you know,
Speaker 1: blankety blank town. But I loved my hometown and a
Speaker 1: lot of people most people in Philadelphia love Philadelphia. But
Speaker 1: h man, I my dad instilled rock and roll in
Speaker 1: me when I was like a little, like a really
Speaker 1: little kid, so I became super obsessed with it and
Speaker 1: classic rock until I kind of discovered like MTV and
Speaker 1: then could discover music on my own. You know. So
Speaker 1: I grew up listening to rock and roll, but country
Speaker 1: country was around. But I will say, like a lot
Speaker 1: of people loved rock and roll, and there were two
Speaker 1: or three there was a weird little music scene, like
Speaker 1: a lot of like a weird amount of people could
Speaker 1: play instruments, and there were bands and stuff in this
Speaker 1: little small town, and so a lot of people. Rock
Speaker 1: and roll was really big in my in my hometown
Speaker 1: for sure. In Philadelphia, Mississippi, did they have like a
Speaker 1: fake Liberty Bell, Mississippi Liberty Bell and no, no Phillies.
Speaker 1: But I've always wondered about that the high school team
Speaker 1: was an Eagles, like none of that that would be funny. No,
Speaker 1: I've always thought it'd be kind of funny too, But
Speaker 1: we didn't adopt anything from the real Philly. I don't
Speaker 1: know why you are loyal and you are You speak
Speaker 1: from Mississippi a lot like I do for Arkansas, right
Speaker 1: like I have Arkansas. A lot of what I do
Speaker 1: I represent constantly and assistantly. Why is that so important
Speaker 1: to you to be the guy from Mississippi? Man? I just,
Speaker 1: first of all, I don't there's a lot of really
Speaker 1: big artists like Elvis, Robert Johnson, whatever. There's a million
Speaker 1: of faith Hill from Mississippi, but there's not a ton.
Speaker 1: And I just I like making my hometown proud and
Speaker 1: making my state proud, and and um, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: there's just something inside of me that's extremely proud to
Speaker 1: be from Mississippi. I think it gets a bad rap
Speaker 1: and gets it's the butt end of a lot of
Speaker 1: like you know, redneck jokes and stuff like that. And
Speaker 1: I think taking pride in that is cool as opposed
Speaker 1: to you know, getting getting offended by it or whatever.
Speaker 1: But it's a state full of small towns that doesn't
Speaker 1: have a city, and it's just really unique. There's like
Speaker 1: one degree of separation between everybody in the whole state.
Speaker 1: Like you can meet some person that knows somebody you
Speaker 1: know if you don't know that person. It's it's really special.
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys in us are like forty fiftieth
Speaker 1: to every pole and everybody. It's like Missisippi, Arkansas. It's
Speaker 1: like the fattest, the most literate, pregnant. But only we
Speaker 1: can say that, and we can only make fun of
Speaker 1: it because we're that's us. Yeah, and I but if
Speaker 1: somebody else does, man, I will nothing wires me up,
Speaker 1: Like when somebody goes after our cost Dude, I'm with you, man,
Speaker 1: So if you take your glasses and hat off, can
Speaker 1: you go incognito? Uh? The goatee kind of gets me still.
Speaker 1: I've tried. I did stage coach, but I wore a
Speaker 1: m I wore like a big quicksilver hat and a
Speaker 1: mask and one of those sunglasses the pit vipers, the
Speaker 1: big flashy so hot man in the mask. I like
Speaker 1: almost suffocated um, but I did it. I did it
Speaker 1: for like a whole day, and it's it was I
Speaker 1: did that. But I don't know. I haven't tried it
Speaker 1: too much, but maybe well I can't see, but I've
Speaker 1: done it before. Like I'm is your vision bad? It's
Speaker 1: bad enough? Yeah, mine is really bad. And so I've
Speaker 1: taken my glasses off to walk through, like walked through
Speaker 1: like an event for our our company, and even my
Speaker 1: bosses didn't know who I was. They were like, hey, oh, really,
Speaker 1: I had no idea. You wear a hat mostly, don't you.
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't had enough. Yeah enough, but I
Speaker 1: would have great hair. Check it out. I can't see
Speaker 1: it from there. Yeah you know, I thought you said
Speaker 1: you had gray hair. Good hair. You have a good
Speaker 1: head of hair? Yeah, no, great, I have great hair.
Speaker 1: I have some great do you do? Are you? Do
Speaker 1: you have your hair on top? Yeah? Yeah, I because
Speaker 1: you do have Oh you have a great Wow, he
Speaker 1: has great hair too. Mostly people to wore hats all
Speaker 1: the time are balding, dude. I you know you get
Speaker 1: that from your mom's side of the family. Have you
Speaker 1: ever heard that, Like if your mom's brothers had a
Speaker 1: full head of hair, their whole life, then you probably will.
Speaker 1: And both my mom's brothers have and or had a
Speaker 1: full head of hair, so I think I'm I'm in
Speaker 1: the clear. I think, do you ever plan to cut
Speaker 1: the because it's not really a mullet. You just have
Speaker 1: long hair? No, just regularly long? Has it always been
Speaker 1: that way since? Like high school? No? I had like
Speaker 1: the car, the Bama Banks dude, I had the frat
Speaker 1: boy like Justin Bieber. I cannot see that, you know
Speaker 1: what's annoying them all? I think I have a picture
Speaker 1: on my phone. I'll show you at some point. So
Speaker 1: it's it's terribly annoying that Hardy was also an awesome
Speaker 1: athlete too. It's like these guys come in that are
Speaker 1: that are everything that I never was. Very talented, awesome athlete,
Speaker 1: can like singing, play guitar, creative, and it's like I
Speaker 1: should never even like this guy. I literally shouldn't like
Speaker 1: you because I have all this like childhood angst from
Speaker 1: people like you. But I do. I like you a
Speaker 1: live I appreciate. Yeah, it's it look at me, I'm
Speaker 1: girling therapy. Huh how about that therapy? Hey, the name
Speaker 1: the mocking Bird and the Crow just why UM basically
Speaker 1: signifies the struggle I have with um the very water
Speaker 1: down term is or is you know country artist versus
Speaker 1: a rock artist. Um, it's it talks about the mocking
Speaker 1: bird singing songs sound like other songs you've heard, which
Speaker 1: is kind of sticking to the format, and that get
Speaker 1: bleeds into the songwriter side of me too. And and
Speaker 1: you know, writing songs for the radio, and maybe you
Speaker 1: know the struggle I have with should I write more
Speaker 1: songs and sing more songs for the radio versus the
Speaker 1: crow which kind of is not as pretty and it
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't sound as as um pretty as
Speaker 1: a mark and bird, and it kind of flies its
Speaker 1: own path. And it's just a song that talks about
Speaker 1: the internal struggle I have with that. On the Bobby
Speaker 1: Bones Show, now party, Hey, what do you do for
Speaker 1: like mental health? I would assume as an artist you
Speaker 1: I'm gonna insert my story in your story. There are insecurities.
Speaker 1: You're a creative, you have times and spaces you need
Speaker 1: to go and be by yourself. Is any of that true?
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, would you consider yourself insecure a
Speaker 1: certain certain parts of your life? Maybe if I do,
Speaker 1: If I am I don't know if I know it.
Speaker 1: But I go to therapy. Okay, I have a therapist.
Speaker 1: Good for you. What do you do from the hell
Speaker 1: do you go to therapy? You ever go away? You
Speaker 1: have somewhere you want to go away too? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just got back from Mississippi. Um for two weeks. I
Speaker 1: like to deer hunt, but like the arrowhead thing I do,
Speaker 1: I'll recharge alone. UM. So if I can spend like
Speaker 1: one day or half a day alone every week, that's
Speaker 1: like huge for me. I just be alone with my
Speaker 1: thoughts and stuff. And I don't know it, just it
Speaker 1: helps me a time. How does your new wife do
Speaker 1: with that? Because my wife does not need to be alone, right,
Speaker 1: I do. I'm very much an alone person. And it
Speaker 1: was took a long time before she actually understood it
Speaker 1: wasn't about her, right, and not that she was ever
Speaker 1: deeply offended. She was just like I understand. I was like, what,
Speaker 1: I need to be like alone for a while. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with your significant other. It's
Speaker 1: just all about you. Did you have any sort of
Speaker 1: communication barrier there about that or did she get it? No?
Speaker 1: She's dude, she's awesome. I mean we she and I
Speaker 1: did like the premarital like you know, um, therapy or
Speaker 1: counseling or whatever, and and um, we talked about a
Speaker 1: lot of that and most of the stuff we already
Speaker 1: knew about each other. But no, she's she's awesome. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you know, like I said, once a week I
Speaker 1: can just be like, hey, I'm gonna go do a
Speaker 1: thing and I'll see you tonight or something, and she's
Speaker 1: like totally cool with it. And she has her things too,
Speaker 1: you know. Um well, yeah, no, she's she's super super
Speaker 1: cool about it. Any songs on this record have to
Speaker 1: do with being like in a relationship and in love.
Speaker 1: Iron Country is um the only love song on the record.
Speaker 1: It's the only song about a girl. Well, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: expect like eight or nine or anything, but I figured
Speaker 1: at some point, yeah, there's one you live alive and
Speaker 1: you create from it. Yeah, sure, so something would be
Speaker 1: in there about that. Yeah, Iron Country? So what so
Speaker 1: what does that one? Though? I like, what's what's the
Speaker 1: place there? There? The hook is there ain't no Eyron Country,
Speaker 1: but there's a you and it talks about like, uh, um,
Speaker 1: like I know how to do all this stuff. I
Speaker 1: know how to build a house on a hill and
Speaker 1: and just all these things. You know, it's got a
Speaker 1: country twist on it, right, it's got the good old
Speaker 1: boy redneck twist. But it's basically like, but what's the
Speaker 1: point of all that if I don't have somebody to
Speaker 1: do it for and to do it with. So it's like,
Speaker 1: there ain't no Iron Country, but there's a you. I
Speaker 1: slipping through the channels a couple weeks ago and I
Speaker 1: saw you on wrestling. Yeah, and I have I have
Speaker 1: a USA Network is one of my main channels. I'll
Speaker 1: flip through because my ship, my show's on USA, and
Speaker 1: so it just comes through like you do your like
Speaker 1: radio channels, and I flipping through and I see you
Speaker 1: like going through the ropes, and I'm like, what is
Speaker 1: happening here? And then I worried you we're gonna get
Speaker 1: hurt because I mean I would assume those guys are
Speaker 1: I mean, they know what they're doing and they're big
Speaker 1: and strong. Yeah, So how did you because is WrestleMania
Speaker 1: you're performing at something right? Or you did um royal rumble? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what that is. It's where they come down
Speaker 1: one at a time, Yeah, and then they throw each
Speaker 1: other at last one. Yeah, we're doing that next week.
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty cool. Yeah, did you like, how
Speaker 1: do you practice? We rehearsed it. That's what everybody says.
Speaker 1: Wrestling is real, but it's rehearsed. And because that guitar
Speaker 1: was real, dude, that was that really happened, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? And um, so when a guitar gets
Speaker 1: broken over a human's back, you have to hit him
Speaker 1: in a certain spot. He the guy was like, just
Speaker 1: hit me high, hit me high, don't hit me. He
Speaker 1: was like, hit me on the wide part of my back.
Speaker 1: But uh, and he was like, make sure it's just flat,
Speaker 1: like dead flat, and he was I remember him saying,
Speaker 1: the harder you hit me, the worst it's gonna hurt.
Speaker 1: So you might as well like swing for the fence
Speaker 1: and really try to hit me as hard as you can.
Speaker 1: Did you ever practice that guitar breaking though, or was
Speaker 1: it a one time shot? I did? And they they
Speaker 1: they had this like stunt guy backstage and he put
Speaker 1: this like vest on and he was like, all right,
Speaker 1: give it a shot. And he was kind of like
Speaker 1: I think he never thought I'd swung anything before in
Speaker 1: my life. And he was like, so when you grab it,
Speaker 1: you grab it down here. I'm like, dude, I'm broken
Speaker 1: guitars before and play ball stuff. So um. Anyway, so
Speaker 1: he did it, and I did it as hard as
Speaker 1: I could and it didn't break, and then they all panicked.
Speaker 1: This was like an hour before I was supposed to
Speaker 1: do it live. And now what they do is I
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm gonna say anyway, they take the guitar part,
Speaker 1: they take all the heavy stuff for the metal stuff
Speaker 1: from the inside, and then they hot blew it back together,
Speaker 1: which is still like it's not like, you know, still still,
Speaker 1: but um, I did it. And then the guy like
Speaker 1: panicked and he was like trying to coach me how
Speaker 1: to like swing it and stuff, and I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: I got it, and they gave they had a different guitar,
Speaker 1: and it just I think the one that they gave
Speaker 1: me at first was a little more put together. Were
Speaker 1: you relieved when it broke when it was live? More
Speaker 1: relieved than I've ever been in my life. I was like,
Speaker 1: I just I wanted to be like, yes, right there, um,
Speaker 1: but it was awesome. Dude. Also, they should take them.
Speaker 1: I'll step out of guitar. We don't need to be convinced.
Speaker 1: We know that these are great athletes. Yeah, well you know,
Speaker 1: can you imagine, like, no, the guitar needs to be legitimate.
Speaker 1: You need to hit him with electric yes, please? Uh.
Speaker 1: And then you came out. No injuries, no shoulder injuries, nothing,
Speaker 1: You're flying around a little all right, Good for you,
Speaker 1: good man. Hardist new records out. It is called The
Speaker 1: mocking Bird and the Crow. What are you gonna play
Speaker 1: for us there? I'm gonna play a song off the
Speaker 1: record called Happy. I think it's my favorite song on
Speaker 1: the record. All right, here we go. Hey, you wrote
Speaker 1: that one by yourself? Yeah? Why what what inspired you
Speaker 1: do that by yourself? And what? Like? Tell me about
Speaker 1: the song what it's about? Um Man, I just had
Speaker 1: like a actually like at one point I wanted to
Speaker 1: write like a children's book, and I was thinking about
Speaker 1: some ideas and and um a publisher told me one time, uh,
Speaker 1: we were talking about doing drugs. We weren't doing drugs,
Speaker 1: but we were literally just talking about it. A kid's
Speaker 1: booked up, older guy older than me, and he was like, man,
Speaker 1: he was like, if there's any advice I have for you,
Speaker 1: don't use a week's worth of Penis in one night
Speaker 1: and that always stuck with me. And it was in
Speaker 1: the time of like cutting the record, so I sent

Speaker 1: Everyone loves when they can get out of some kind
Speaker 1: of ticket And Bobby shared a recent story that he
Speaker 1: has with a police officer who issued him a warning
Speaker 1: instead of giving him a ticket for speeding. And well,
Speaker 1: we'll just let you hear how it all goes down.
Speaker 1: Number four, He's Amy's pile of stories. Carly Pierce admitted
Speaker 1: to bribing a cop. She was doing one of those
Speaker 1: videos where she's doing makeup and telling a story, and
Speaker 1: she decided to tell a story about how a time
Speaker 1: she was trying to get to a show and she
Speaker 1: was speeding in Kentucky. She got pulled over, gave her
Speaker 1: a ticket. She just didn't really pay attention to the ticket,
Speaker 1: kind of paid it. And I guess she got cited though,
Speaker 1: for reckless driving, which is more major than just speeding,
Speaker 1: and there's more steps you have to take, and she
Speaker 1: didn't take them. So she got a warrant out for
Speaker 1: her arrest. Somehow, I guess she figured out the police
Speaker 1: officer got the warrant removed because she offered him concert tickets,
Speaker 1: and so I was like, oh, I think she needs
Speaker 1: to be arrested now. It can't be that. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's that. I mean, I'm paraphrasing the story here,
Speaker 1: but that's what we need to tell on her. That
Speaker 1: kid who told on the school cafeteria. You need to
Speaker 1: get a hold of this. Yeah, it can't be like that, right.
Speaker 1: I've had police officers that were super cool to me.
Speaker 1: If I were going six or seven over. And I
Speaker 1: really don't speed. But there's one part of Arkansas that
Speaker 1: we drive through for me to get home. It's a
Speaker 1: town and they call pulled me over, and I think
Speaker 1: they pulled everybody over. It speeds. It's like a one
Speaker 1: street town and the speed limit's like thirty five. And
Speaker 1: he pulled me over and he says, son, you're going
Speaker 1: forty two. And I see these are out of state
Speaker 1: plates where you're coming from. And you know they love
Speaker 1: to pull over and out of state. Oh yeah, I would.
Speaker 1: If I was a cop from a town and somebody's
Speaker 1: flying through from out of state, I get him two tickets.
Speaker 1: I get him the card Peer Special, I to rest
Speaker 1: of reckless driving. And so I said, yes, officer, we
Speaker 1: live in Tennessee. We were driving home. I live here.
Speaker 1: And about that time, he does that thing where he
Speaker 1: like squints his eyes and it's like wait a second,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't say anything, and so he walks back
Speaker 1: to the back and he comes back and he goes,
Speaker 1: I appreciate everything you do for us, and you're only
Speaker 1: going seven over, so I'm not gonna give you a ticket.
Speaker 1: But if you're going nine, I was gonna give you
Speaker 1: a ticket and I said, thank you, officer, I'm out
Speaker 1: of here. And then I accidentally as a rental car
Speaker 1: we were on gravel. You peeled out. I didn't, That's
Speaker 1: what I'm sorry about. I just I wasn't used to
Speaker 1: driving that rental car that we had, and so like
Speaker 1: on the gravel and can't goes what are you doing?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Watch me? I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: this is a boon. That was Amy's pile of stories.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.
Speaker 1: Good parent or Bad Parent? That was the topic of
Speaker 1: discussion when Eddie shared a story about how he has
Speaker 1: a rule at his house and while his son didn't
Speaker 1: follow that rule and ended up having to eat out
Speaker 1: of a trash can. Yes, a trash can. So I'll
Speaker 1: let you listen to this whole segment decide for yourself
Speaker 1: if he's a good or bad parent. And the show
Speaker 1: was split. We had about half and half, and a
Speaker 1: lot of you online were also split on this topic
Speaker 1: of discussion. But you know, it's fun to see everybody's
Speaker 1: different parenting style. So if you want to see all
Speaker 1: the kind of different things people do and what they
Speaker 1: believe should happen, with kids. Just go to our Facebook page.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of opinions on there. Number three, let's
Speaker 1: do a segment call a good parent bad parent, because
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a fine line between that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like and I don't listen. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not a parent yet, that's fine, but I watch
Speaker 1: you guys, and I feel like you. It's a constant
Speaker 1: struggle to know if you're doing it right, because there
Speaker 1: really is no right and everybody interprets parent had differently
Speaker 1: and every situation is different. So it's time for a
Speaker 1: good parent, bad parent? Eddie, year up? What happened? Okay,
Speaker 1: So I've been trying to teach my kids about not
Speaker 1: wasting food. This has been a big deal, Like do
Speaker 1: you serve what you're gonna eat? I don't make them
Speaker 1: clean the plate, but they serve their food. So whatever
Speaker 1: you serve, you've got to eat. That's interesting because it
Speaker 1: used to be clean your plate and if you did
Speaker 1: eat everything, you had to sit there until you ate,
Speaker 1: and that's torture. Yeah. I didn't like that. Even if
Speaker 1: I liked it, sometimes it was too much and I'm
Speaker 1: so full. Yeah, so when you serve your plate, make
Speaker 1: sure you're serving, which you know you're gonna eat. I
Speaker 1: can only eat one man, which okay. So they go
Speaker 1: up and they get their own and put it on.
Speaker 1: What was up? What was for dinner? I think it
Speaker 1: was like lasagna, and then there's always like a little
Speaker 1: bit at like a broccolis and then um, blackberries. That's funny,
Speaker 1: he said, broccolis with a nest. Well, because that's more
Speaker 1: than one, but no, it's broccoli. So then like five blackberries, lasagna,
Speaker 1: broccoli and blackberries. Balance, yes, very balanced. And then so
Speaker 1: one of my boys, he doesn't notice that I see
Speaker 1: him not eating his blackberries, and he knows he has
Speaker 1: to eat his food. He goes to the trash throes
Speaker 1: his played away with the blackberries in there. So I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 1: what did you do there? And he's like, oh what
Speaker 1: just I'm done eating? And I pick up the plate
Speaker 1: and like, no, look there's some blackberries left. Like you
Speaker 1: know the rule you have to eat your food. You
Speaker 1: pick five blackberries, you have to eat them out of
Speaker 1: the trash. Dad, you have to eat them out of
Speaker 1: the trash. So I made him get him out of
Speaker 1: the trash and eat the blackberries? How long until he
Speaker 1: ate all five black an hour? Always sat there. He's
Speaker 1: kind of a germophobe, so and I knew that, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, it's gonna be really hard
Speaker 1: for him. Did you rewash him? Oh yeah, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: rewatch of course, like yeah, it just don't don't waste him.
Speaker 1: So he rewashed him. Sat there in his hands. His
Speaker 1: hands were blue because you know, blackberries, just staying your hands,
Speaker 1: and he just kind of like one at a time,
Speaker 1: stared at it, stared at it until he finally ate
Speaker 1: him all. So the question is a good parent and
Speaker 1: bad parent because Eddie made his kiddie out of the garbage.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't you say it that way, but
Speaker 1: I do say it that way. That's like literally what
Speaker 1: happened amy good parent and bad parent. I don't want
Speaker 1: to call Eddie a bad but you can't, I know,
Speaker 1: And blackberries are expensive. I do not like waste. We
Speaker 1: don't really think he's a bad parent, but it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a bit, it's what it's called. I
Speaker 1: would not do it. So you're saying, lunchbox, good parent.
Speaker 1: You have rules in place, and if you go back
Speaker 1: on those rules once. Guess what, you give him an inch,
Speaker 1: they take a mile and they start doing it every night.
Speaker 1: I'm shocked you let him rewash them. That's my I
Speaker 1: would have called. I would have made him eat him, Like,
Speaker 1: if you want to toll him away, you eat him.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't let him rewash him. So when you said that,
Speaker 1: I was like a little bit of a weak parent,
Speaker 1: but I would say, good parent. I'm big precedent guy.
Speaker 1: Just in general. I like them. I like to live
Speaker 1: by them. If someone sets one with me, I depend
Speaker 1: on knowing that's your precedent. We've set this. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: on this show. We have precedence being late, being there
Speaker 1: for each other, doing your work, and if you don't,
Speaker 1: I can't let anybody skirt and even myself like great parent,
Speaker 1: come on because you made the rule and you excuse me?
Speaker 1: Hey parents talking Sorry, good hot pitched good good parents? No, okay.
Speaker 1: Styles and techniques are all different. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I had a throne in the garbage or maybe I'd
Speaker 1: have gotten five more even though they are expensive. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to me. You did it. You set a precedent.
Speaker 1: Eat your blackberries. Maybe next time, he'll get two and
Speaker 1: then he finished those, maybe he'll get a call more.
Speaker 1: The more waste, you guys hit us up and if
Speaker 1: you have a similar situation, you can hit us with
Speaker 1: that too. Wow. Thanks you went two to one. Not bad, Yeah, Amy,
Speaker 1: I'm shocked. Well, the trash is what I really had
Speaker 1: a problem with and then all so I think there's
Speaker 1: still a way to get them to understand without support
Speaker 1: from zero. I should feel like that would end up
Speaker 1: backfiring on me later in life or something when he
Speaker 1: goes to therapists like my mom may meet all the garbage. Yes,
Speaker 1: I thought about him, meet the blackberries. I'd eat the
Speaker 1: coffee filter. I mean, yeah, I already have enough of
Speaker 1: those moments where I know my kids are gonna be
Speaker 1: in therapy one day because of me. But thank you,
Speaker 1: and we'll go to the listener Pan, I'll go and
Speaker 1: talk to Douglas and San Antonio. Who's on. Hey Douglas,
Speaker 1: Eddie made his kid, you know the garbage we think.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking he should practice what he preaches. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: if if he if he's got that room place, which
Speaker 1: is great, but is he willing to do it himself? Eddie?
Speaker 1: If you serve yourself. Do you eat every bit of food,
Speaker 1: every single thing, every single thing? And if I accidentally
Speaker 1: throw something away, I have no problem meeting it. I've
Speaker 1: seen HI meet out of the garbage here, no problem.
Speaker 1: So if the same situation happened to you, you would
Speaker 1: do it as well. Absolutely. Would you let your son
Speaker 1: call you on it if he sees you do it,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, Dad, there's a pickle in there and
Speaker 1: you didn't need it. They've done that before, so yes,
Speaker 1: they call me out on it, and I do. I
Speaker 1: followed through Goose and gander, Goose goose? What's good for
Speaker 1: the good? You're the goose to kids of the gander
Speaker 1: as long as you're rolling, setting an example of constant consistency. Awesome. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: that's why you're a good parent, Douglas. I appreciate you
Speaker 1: bringing that up. That's a great point. Thanks a lot, man, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: appreciate job. Take their studio, have a good day, buddy.
Speaker 1: Let's go over to Dedre and North Carolina. Dedro, what
Speaker 1: do you think about the situation here? Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I think I think Eddie is like father of the
Speaker 1: Year for that. Let me tell you what I have
Speaker 1: four boys and one girl. And anytime that they want
Speaker 1: to turn up their nose at what I've made for
Speaker 1: a dinner or complain about what I've made or not
Speaker 1: eat what I've made the next day, or having rice
Speaker 1: and water day, I will make a pot of white right. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's what's for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, whatever you want.
Speaker 1: That's what it is, Eddie, Father of the year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: be critical of the we may hold on. I get
Speaker 1: it that whole segment. Great Rice and water to day.
Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. If your kids, if
Speaker 1: they complain about dinner or launch or something that you've
Speaker 1: put effort in on, let me get this right, dedro
Speaker 1: right correct, Yeah, okay, And because I'm very interested in this,
Speaker 1: if they complain, they know that the next day, what's
Speaker 1: it called again, Rice and water Day? And I think
Speaker 1: it day or something like that. I like that name.
Speaker 1: The name makes it better. Yes, have gratitude because what
Speaker 1: you have today, so so be happy what you get
Speaker 1: tomorrow rice and water. So for breakfast, what do they
Speaker 1: have served to them on rice and water Day? Yeah?
Speaker 1: White rice water cool. Okay, So there you go, and
Speaker 1: then they get home maybe as a snack after school.
Speaker 1: What are their options? Um, rice and water? Okay, if
Speaker 1: they want then for dinner, let's just I don't know,
Speaker 1: let's just see for dinner. They're home. Great, mom, what's
Speaker 1: what's for dinner? What's what's for dinner on Gratitude Day? Warm?
Speaker 1: Rice and water? Breakfast? It's cold. This is the funniest
Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard. And how many times have you
Speaker 1: had to actually do Gratitude Day? I mean probably once
Speaker 1: or twice honestly when they were younger. So they learned
Speaker 1: quick like to be appreciative of whatever. And I listen,
Speaker 1: I will make crazy stuff, spaghetti, tacos, lasagna, Like I
Speaker 1: don't make crazy things. But my kids just early on
Speaker 1: seem to be really ticky. And I mean, we don't
Speaker 1: you know, we don't live on the high house on
Speaker 1: the hill, so you know, we appreciate what mom and
Speaker 1: dad worked for to put on the table. And I
Speaker 1: think that's what has molded them into like really great,
Speaker 1: respectful young men now. And my son is a sailor
Speaker 1: in the Navy, my oldest, my middle son is going
Speaker 1: into the service when he graduates high school. They just
Speaker 1: have a very um, they have an awareness for the
Speaker 1: value of things so we don't just hand them things
Speaker 1: and that includes food. I love rice and water day like,
Speaker 1: I loved that thing. It's so long, that's I just
Speaker 1: love it. I think that is the greatest. It's it's
Speaker 1: it's a holiday in my mind that they don't want
Speaker 1: to have, Dedre, that is. I love it. Thank you
Speaker 1: for calling and sharing that with us, and your son's
Speaker 1: a plus. Just appreciate what they're doing. I love this call.
Speaker 1: I put this up with one of my favorite calls
Speaker 1: in a long time. Thank you, Dedra every morning. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for making our morning better. We appreciate it. Wow,
Speaker 1: thank you a good mom. Right, can't that we can't
Speaker 1: be that. No, so you can't go out from here.
Speaker 1: So it's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 1: Number two, Lunchbox loves a good reality TV plot line,
Speaker 1: and there's a big plot happening with the Chrislies going
Speaker 1: to jail, and Lunchbox decided he wanted to write a
Speaker 1: letter to Todd Chrisley to see if he could go
Speaker 1: visit him in prison. Yes, this is all really happening,
Speaker 1: and if Todd gives him the okay, Lunchbox is free
Speaker 1: to go. Bobby's already given him the green light, so
Speaker 1: Lunchbox shared what he wrote in the letter, and he's
Speaker 1: going to send it off very soon. So in case
Speaker 1: you missed him penning the letter, you need to hear
Speaker 1: right now because it's definitely interesting. Number two, the only
Speaker 1: way Lunchbox can go visit Todd Chrisley in prison in
Speaker 1: Florida is if Todd puts him on a list. And
Speaker 1: we've told Lunchbox, if he puts you on the list,
Speaker 1: you can take off from the show and drive down
Speaker 1: and go visit him. Have you ever visited anyone in prison? No,
Speaker 1: just been visited in prison. You weren't in prison. You
Speaker 1: were in jail and that's a bit we did on
Speaker 1: the show. And you were out in twenty four hours house.
Speaker 1: That's a small house, but they did say my name
Speaker 1: or the thing and go to you know, visitation room
Speaker 1: two and I walk in there and it was just
Speaker 1: like on TV where there's the window and that you
Speaker 1: pick up the phone and you talk to the other
Speaker 1: guy on the other side. As a lawyer, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like what they called my day. I was like, dang,
Speaker 1: my dad's here to see me. It wasn't your dad
Speaker 1: though I was the lawyer, I had no idea who
Speaker 1: it was. I was like, how did my dad now
Speaker 1: to find me? Lunchbox got one call out of prison
Speaker 1: for jail. Sorry, now we did a bit whatever. Lunchbox
Speaker 1: went to jail and he got one call and he
Speaker 1: called me, and so I had to call his parents
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, Lunchbox in jail. It's a weird call. Man.
Speaker 1: So lunch wants to go visit Todd chris Ley. And
Speaker 1: I think that's awesome. And Todd was a guest host
Speaker 1: on our show. We know Todd chris Lay. We didn't
Speaker 1: know what he was up to, but we know. So
Speaker 1: to go visit, He's gotta be on a list. Tod's
Speaker 1: gonna put you on a list. The only way we
Speaker 1: can get a hold of him is by writing a letter.
Speaker 1: You've written it. How long is it? It's not that long. Okay,
Speaker 1: here is lunchboxes letter Todd chris Ley, with the intention
Speaker 1: of getting on a list to go visit him. Okay,
Speaker 1: here we go, Todd. I hope you're doing well and
Speaker 1: settling in and getting comfortable in your new digs. It's Lunchbox.
Speaker 1: You might remember me playing with you in a charity
Speaker 1: softball game a few years ago. I was on your
Speaker 1: team then, and I'm on your team now. A lot
Speaker 1: of innocent people get wrong link Victor, and it's a
Speaker 1: shame that's happened to you. The Todd I know doesn't
Speaker 1: deserve to be in prison. Women commit fraud every day
Speaker 1: with their push up, brass, spanks and all that makeup.
Speaker 1: But they're still out here walking the streets. But they
Speaker 1: have you locked up for the next twelve years. Seems
Speaker 1: crazy if you ask me, I'm heading to Florida in
Speaker 1: a few weeks, so I wanted to stop in and
Speaker 1: catch up on life. If you could do me a solid,
Speaker 1: I need you to add me to your visitor list
Speaker 1: so I can get past the guards. Let me know
Speaker 1: if you need me to bring anything, and keep your
Speaker 1: head up. We will get through this together. I will
Speaker 1: always be the captain of Team Todd, t Team or life,
Speaker 1: your BFF lunchbox. I like it pretty good. The only
Speaker 1: thing I think I would put in there is I
Speaker 1: really want it comes. I mean you really have to,
Speaker 1: because he could think it was a joke. He could
Speaker 1: think you're just kidding with him, Like put me on
Speaker 1: the list so I can get past the guards. I
Speaker 1: would just say I do want to come visit you
Speaker 1: if that's cool, but I need to be on the list,
Speaker 1: like seriously, but ps like yeahs And as much as
Speaker 1: this seemed funny, it was. But I would love to
Speaker 1: come see you, so let me know if you can
Speaker 1: put me on the list. Okay, there just needs to
Speaker 1: be a serious line. Okay, Man, that was good, right?
Speaker 1: You know? Man? Is it okay that he's like lying
Speaker 1: about the whole being on your side kind of thing?
Speaker 1: You know what, Eddie, I don't care. I mean went
Speaker 1: a little hard on me because he's definitely not. He
Speaker 1: actually did the research that convinced us of the opposite.
Speaker 1: Because I was like, I don't know, what do I
Speaker 1: know about this case? Sometimes people and lunchbox, Well, actually
Speaker 1: he did it, and here's how I think that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you read into it. It didn't seem like he did it. Okay,
Speaker 1: but now you just contradict it. I know. But but
Speaker 1: for life, man, send it off today, okay, and then
Speaker 1: every week or so we'll just check in and see
Speaker 1: if you get a letter back. What if he writes back?
Speaker 1: Are there any rules? Can you send it next day
Speaker 1: air to prison or do you have to send it regular,
Speaker 1: Like how is there a role on the envelopes coming in?
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of packages they can get
Speaker 1: in prison, Like can I send a care package? I
Speaker 1: could I send goldfish with it? No, you have to
Speaker 1: get and they're gonna look at every letter that's sent obviously.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they'd check it for drugs everything. But I
Speaker 1: wonder if you could just send because we use stamps
Speaker 1: dot com, can we just send it? Like? Ups, that's
Speaker 1: a good guy in the brown truck drives up. Chrisley.
Speaker 1: You should call the prison and ask them. I will, Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do that. Cool. We'll check with you in about
Speaker 1: a week or so. We won't hear anything in a week,
Speaker 1: but we'll check with you anyway. Okay, all right, nice shots.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number two.
Speaker 1: Brandley Gilbert and Chad Krueger of nickelback stop by the
Speaker 1: show this week, and it was super interesting. They're going
Speaker 1: out on tour together, so they were here to talk
Speaker 1: about that. But of course we also had to ask
Speaker 1: Chad some questions or some stories out there about him
Speaker 1: and we wanted to know if they were true, and well,
Speaker 1: he had some evidence to back up his side of
Speaker 1: the story, and then of course the guitar was sitting
Speaker 1: in studios, so we did get a few teases of
Speaker 1: some Nickelback songs, no full performances, but they were definitely
Speaker 1: cool little moments, and Chad is just super hilarious and
Speaker 1: watching the two of them interact was even more fun.
Speaker 1: So I would suggest listening to this interview right now,
Speaker 1: but then go watch it on Bobby Bones dot com
Speaker 1: because it's also fun to watch Number one walking in
Speaker 1: right now. But Chad the lead singer of Nickelback, and
Speaker 1: Brantley Gilbert are going on tour together. They're both here Nickelback.
Speaker 1: They have photograph, here's this one? Oh god? They also
Speaker 1: have rock stars. How you remind me? They have hero
Speaker 1: They have so many Number one Nickelback, I love them.
Speaker 1: And then Brantley, for example, has bottoms off, not a bottles.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be super fun because I don't really
Speaker 1: know Chad, he's only been on the phone once and
Speaker 1: Brantley's always fun, So let's do it. Chad from Nickelback
Speaker 1: and Brantley Gilbert coming in the studio right now. The
Speaker 1: Friday Morning conversation with Chad Krueger from Nickelback and Brantley
Speaker 1: Gilbert guys. I was hoping both of you would come
Speaker 1: just generally both be here, but I didn't know you
Speaker 1: come together in my dream. It's pretty cool. Congratulations, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the fantasy, I should say fantasy. Yeah. So Brandley, good
Speaker 1: to see again, Budd who to see you? Brother? Always chat,
Speaker 1: We've only spoken on the phone, so it's it's a
Speaker 1: real pleasure to meet. I've been a big long time
Speaker 1: listen first time caller, yeah, but been a fan for
Speaker 1: a long time. Uh, let me ask the obvious question here.
Speaker 1: How did you too even meet or who introduced you?
Speaker 1: And why did they suggest you go out on tour together? Brandley?
Speaker 1: You first, man, I'll be honest. The first I heard
Speaker 1: about it was through my manager and I was stoked,
Speaker 1: like right off the bat. And I saw you guys
Speaker 1: when you came to Nashville, and I was telling somebody
Speaker 1: this other day, like, you know, for as long as
Speaker 1: I can remember, you know, if there was a weekend
Speaker 1: we were playing a show, so I hadn't really seen
Speaker 1: that many shows. It's seen a few, and I'd seen
Speaker 1: whatever bands were playing with us that weekend or whatever.
Speaker 1: But uh, I went to his show with Aaron Tannebaum
Speaker 1: and we went and saw you guys. I think it
Speaker 1: was Bridgestone And man, I remember seeing the show and
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, that's what I'm talking about. That's that's
Speaker 1: good energy and stuff. I was already a huge fan,
Speaker 1: and uh so when when I heard about it from
Speaker 1: Aaron like, I was just super stoked and I was
Speaker 1: in immediately. Chad, when did you get introduced to Brantley's music?
Speaker 1: And have you ever had anyone? Because Brantley rides that
Speaker 1: line and always has I don't even know what line
Speaker 1: it is. Brentley sober, Yeah, he just got he's sober.
Speaker 1: You can't say stuff like that. Why why did you
Speaker 1: think it was a good I didna put Branley on
Speaker 1: w Nickel back. Well, did you hear what he just
Speaker 1: did you hear all the nice things he just said?
Speaker 1: I owe you five hundred bucks for that. But yes,
Speaker 1: all day long, he's gonna just keep saying stuff like this,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be broke by the time of days over.
Speaker 1: It's just like to jan to jang Um. We didn't
Speaker 1: want to do We didn't want to go back to
Speaker 1: the same well that we'd been going to every single
Speaker 1: time we put an opener on for the last twenty years,
Speaker 1: there's these same six bands that come up every single
Speaker 1: time people have seen that show. People saw that show
Speaker 1: in two thousand and three. See people saw that show
Speaker 1: in two thousands, five, seven, six, you know all of it.
Speaker 1: It's just like, I wanted to try something a little different.
Speaker 1: I want to expand the horizon. I don't want to
Speaker 1: give people the same show. Um. And so when Brentley's
Speaker 1: name came up, uh, we found that very interesting. I
Speaker 1: think that right off the bat is like, that's interesting.
Speaker 1: He wanted to see a redneck in wild. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: still want to see a redneck in the wild. Um yeah.
Speaker 1: And then and then you know, the conversation progressed and
Speaker 1: it just went further down the line and the next
Speaker 1: thing you know, it's like, you know, I called him.
Speaker 1: I think I was. I think I was little in hebraated.
Speaker 1: I was on a boat in the Bahamas and you
Speaker 1: were in Montana. Uh. I think you were stuck on
Speaker 1: the mountain. You were so yeah, hunting. I think you
Speaker 1: were trying to shoot something in yeah, and uh, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: are we doing this? And you're like, just got a lot.
Speaker 1: I got a lot of wind here and yeah, we
Speaker 1: should do this. I think we should do this. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll call you when i'm you know, I'm not on
Speaker 1: the boat and when you're not on the side of
Speaker 1: a mountain in a snowstorm. We couldn't have been in
Speaker 1: more opposite places. It was awesome. I was. We had
Speaker 1: Steven Tyler on I've been the last couple of years,
Speaker 1: and we were talking to him because that's a guy
Speaker 1: who's been successful for a long time, like decade, and
Speaker 1: there is something to be said for somebody who can
Speaker 1: stay so relevant for so long continue making good music.
Speaker 1: The same thing I would say about you, Chad in
Speaker 1: your band. And I asked Steven Tyler said, of all
Speaker 1: these years, have you ever had an opener that turned
Speaker 1: out You put them on when they were just a
Speaker 1: baby and they turned out to be massive. And he said,
Speaker 1: you know, once we had a guy named named Fred
Speaker 1: who would be in the slept in the front of
Speaker 1: the bus. And I was just trying to figure figure
Speaker 1: it out. And it's Freddie Mercury from Queen who opened
Speaker 1: for Aerosmith, right, And I was just I was blowing
Speaker 1: away at the story because here Steven Tyler talking about
Speaker 1: Freddie Mercury on their bus opening up and the next question,
Speaker 1: how old are you all? Just sustained massive success from
Speaker 1: you guys, do you have any story like that where
Speaker 1: you had a baby that came out and they turned
Speaker 1: into a massive success as well? Put on You're like, well,
Speaker 1: you were kind of blown away by seeing what they
Speaker 1: did in an early stage. We had a preface it
Speaker 1: by it's like, so they discovered Queen. What do you guys?
Speaker 1: I think you know, probably I don't want to take
Speaker 1: I'm not taking He wasn't taking credit for que He said,
Speaker 1: I'm not taking credit by any stretch. But like Shine
Speaker 1: Down went on, uh and just exploded. Um, there was
Speaker 1: there's a band that we took with us. MM. We
Speaker 1: took them to the UK and now they're now they're
Speaker 1: just they're selling out um arenas all over the UK.
Speaker 1: Cold Play, Um, yeah, and like the band the band
Speaker 1: know who they are and I can't think of their name,
Speaker 1: and right now they're just yelling at radio. It's like
Speaker 1: it's Blackstone Cherry. That's right. It's not like people all
Speaker 1: the same time, they're just like Blackstone Cherry. Just in
Speaker 1: the same question for you because that happens here. Who
Speaker 1: is one of your openers? Early on it they blew up? Man.
Speaker 1: You know, We've been blessed through the years, and I
Speaker 1: feel like our team has done a great job of
Speaker 1: getting folks in front of us that definitely have stuff
Speaker 1: going on. Man. We we had openers like I mean,
Speaker 1: Thomas schtz supported us uh Luke, cons, Michael Ray, Kanan
Speaker 1: smith Man, just bunches of guys, man, And you know,
Speaker 1: that's that's one thing I think that is similar in
Speaker 1: our worlds, and especially on the tour and side of things.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, in some ways for years we've
Speaker 1: been able to help people get their foot in the
Speaker 1: door right, and especially on the tour and side of things,
Speaker 1: and then you know, watching them blow up, you kind
Speaker 1: of feel like you had something to do with it.
Speaker 1: But he discovered shine down. We just heard it's pretty
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, that's funny. That's so weird.
Speaker 1: My phone is vibrating right now and it's Brent. Brent.
Speaker 1: It's like, did you just say It's like, no, I didn't.
Speaker 1: That was a deep fake to get rolling tour. Brantley
Speaker 1: is joining Nickelback. Tickets go on sale starting today. We're
Speaker 1: gonna come back with these guys in a second. But
Speaker 1: today tenday AM local times. So wherever you are, if
Speaker 1: you're in Boston listening, or Vegas, wherever you are locally
Speaker 1: toena AM live nation dot com and you you guys
Speaker 1: are doing a lot of shows. Holy moly. See, I
Speaker 1: mean this is like touring, because even when I tour
Speaker 1: as a comedian, I tour like Brantley tours for the
Speaker 1: most part, which is Thursday, Friday Saturday or Friday Saturday,
Speaker 1: and then I come back home and I do the show.
Speaker 1: But like when you're in the rock world, sometimes you
Speaker 1: guys don't come home, right, You just stay gone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you kind of just take a picture of your your home,
Speaker 1: your bed, and you just don't see that for a
Speaker 1: lot of months. We try not to tour like that anymore.
Speaker 1: Like when we were I mean twenty years ago, we
Speaker 1: went on on a lot of try to kill us
Speaker 1: tours and they would just I mean, the longest stretch
Speaker 1: was eighteen months. Oh you're just you know you you
Speaker 1: You're on stage every night, You're hosting the party every night.
Speaker 1: There's a party backstage every night. Why am I not
Speaker 1: in a rehab yeah, I feel like I'm gonna for
Speaker 1: the story I need to go just from the story,
Speaker 1: there should taboo anymore than when I went to Pretty Good.
Speaker 1: I'll give you call the Friday Morning Conversation with Chad
Speaker 1: Krueger from Nickelback and Brentley Gilbert. It's weird to hear
Speaker 1: your name like that, but that's how you say your
Speaker 1: last name for real, for real. But when people say
Speaker 1: my name became Chad Kroeger because I haven't, but oh like,
Speaker 1: it throws you out. I guess we should put the
Speaker 1: umlat back on the it's a German name. Did you
Speaker 1: only just start saying though that everyone was saying it wrong?
Speaker 1: Or have you been fighting the fight? Na, Because when
Speaker 1: you start off and you start an interview and someone says,
Speaker 1: we've got Chad Kroeger or from Nickelback, this band has
Speaker 1: sold fifty million records, they've been around for no, and
Speaker 1: they go down this list of accolades, Chad, how are
Speaker 1: you And at that point in time, I'm supposed to say, uh,
Speaker 1: it's Krueger. It takes twice, though, and people, it doesn't
Speaker 1: take twice because the fight's been going on for the
Speaker 1: last twenty five years um and and I just got
Speaker 1: to the point where I'm like whatever, and this at
Speaker 1: like now with the you know, the new the new
Speaker 1: PR team that we've hired, They're like, can we start
Speaker 1: getting people to say your name properly. I was sitting
Speaker 1: there and I was doing an interview and Jerry Cantrell
Speaker 1: from Nelson Chains and I we're doing a tour together,
Speaker 1: and we get to this radio station and they're like,
Speaker 1: we got Jerry Cantrell and Chad Kroeger and he stops
Speaker 1: the interview right there. He goes, it's Krueger and and
Speaker 1: Buddy's just like, but he did it, like in a
Speaker 1: get his name right, bonehead sort of way, and he's, oh,
Speaker 1: my bad, I didn't. And then he looks at me
Speaker 1: and goes, that is your last name, dude. Don't ever
Speaker 1: let anyone mispronounce your last name. That's your last name,
Speaker 1: and he like gave it to me right there, and
Speaker 1: the aims like, I wasn't that big of a deal.
Speaker 1: I was. I wasn't really that. You're way more pissed
Speaker 1: about this, and I am to be totally honest, but yeah,
Speaker 1: but then it just got to the point where, you know,
Speaker 1: this was this was the round of press. You know,
Speaker 1: this was the time where we were like, all right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna to the point where I was gonna start
Speaker 1: wearing shirts and interviews that says, you know, just spell
Speaker 1: it out phonetically. C R e W next word g
Speaker 1: e R it's Krueger, you know. But I guess we
Speaker 1: should just put the umlat back over the oo so
Speaker 1: people have a little bit of a reference point because
Speaker 1: you guys have the big grocery chain down here, and
Speaker 1: that's why it's you know, that's why, that's why, that's
Speaker 1: why if I put a you in there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're also I'll be honest with you. He's like to
Speaker 1: put the umla you'll know on in my head, I'm going, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the crew they put it over the you, which is
Speaker 1: still a crew, but you know they're sort of using
Speaker 1: it incorrectly. But if you take the if you take that,
Speaker 1: it changes the way that the vowel is supposed to be.
Speaker 1: All right, there's a lesson, guys. All right, Bradley, you
Speaker 1: started playing guitar? How old and how where did you
Speaker 1: get your first guitar? Manu, My first guitar is my dad.
Speaker 1: It's like this yeahmaha thing. I have no idea when
Speaker 1: I started, or I think I took like a couple
Speaker 1: of lessons and hated it and uh just kind of
Speaker 1: tried to figure out stuff on my own. I remember,
Speaker 1: like very hazy, you know, uh her first, I guess
Speaker 1: for me, we're talking about this the other day, Eddie
Speaker 1: and I. For me it was downtown. It was Metallica, down, down, down,
Speaker 1: nothing else matters. But yeah, nothing else matters because I
Speaker 1: could look at the take. You got that for five
Speaker 1: hundred points. Wow. And then when I got to House
Speaker 1: the Rising Sun, I was like, I'm getting somewhere there
Speaker 1: is a house and I was like, okay, I'm and
Speaker 1: then I sucked. But that for me was like do
Speaker 1: you remember the first song that you learned as a
Speaker 1: whatever teenager? I was like, Smoke on the Water? Don
Speaker 1: it's that? Or Crazy Train? Can you play Smoke on
Speaker 1: the Water right in it? If we have a guitar
Speaker 1: that sits there, could you play Smoke on the water
Speaker 1: the most element Are you so advanced that you can't
Speaker 1: go elementary? Already? Got it plugged up. I just told
Speaker 1: you he was gonna figure it out. We keep it,
Speaker 1: you know, we do a little something here ourselves if
Speaker 1: you just want to if you're just shooting the easy
Speaker 1: that it's it's not actually played like that, but that's
Speaker 1: like if you're gonna teach somebody how to do it,
Speaker 1: it's just you know, one one three, five, one three
Speaker 1: six five one three five three open Branley, what was
Speaker 1: your first one? I don't know. I still don't know you,
Speaker 1: buttercup man, Uh you know what, Like I had that
Speaker 1: little fender bender, yeah, right after high school and it
Speaker 1: made things real hazy. But um, I guarantee you I couldn't. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I had I hit my head pretty hard on a tree,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I don't remember a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff real way early. Yeah, that gives you the best
Speaker 1: excuse in the world. Like the wife is asking to
Speaker 1: do some of the babe, it was a big tree.
Speaker 1: What is the easiest song, Brankley that you play that?
Speaker 1: When people are learning guitar, they play like, what is
Speaker 1: your easiest song to play? Uh? Basically GC's, d's and
Speaker 1: ease man, I guess for hell when they mean kind
Speaker 1: of be all your finger in though, see that you'd
Speaker 1: lose me a little bit, right, This is GD and Hey,
Speaker 1: but you're apeggiating though it doesn't that. Yeah, now we're talking.
Speaker 1: Now got some solid chad? Are you expected it? Let's
Speaker 1: say you're at a gathering, a party and there's a guitar.
Speaker 1: Do they go chat, got the guitar and play something,
Speaker 1: uh like? And what do you play? I do? I
Speaker 1: do this thing where I'm like, I'm but I do
Speaker 1: this uh like this tease and I'll uh, I'll be like,
Speaker 1: uh like, I'll get the guitar and everyone's like they
Speaker 1: want me to I know, you know, they want me
Speaker 1: to play like entire songs and get the I'll be like,
Speaker 1: I'm the new standing clubs and never gain in. And
Speaker 1: then I just stopped, and then everybody and then everyone starts.
Speaker 1: They're like, we'll keep going. I'm like, and then I go,
Speaker 1: I never mean it as a wise man. I couldn't
Speaker 1: cut it as a pull and stealing. It's not living
Speaker 1: like it, you know. And then and then because then
Speaker 1: everyone else sings for a little bit, and then they
Speaker 1: realize I've stopped, and then they realize I'm not coming
Speaker 1: back in say musical blue balls. Hey dude, if you
Speaker 1: hear something funny for real, oh god, I'm not supposed
Speaker 1: to say that, Yeah you can. We're good. We're good,
Speaker 1: We're good. Um. Did you hear what happened when he
Speaker 1: played rock Star Man again when Jed Jed has an
Speaker 1: interred neck that he channels when he plays that song, right,
Speaker 1: it's acoustically it's it's like this, uh because I I
Speaker 1: joked about this um in an interview where I said,
Speaker 1: you know, it's almost like it's a country song and
Speaker 1: it's almost like I'm throwing on like the southern thing
Speaker 1: and I so I throw on this thick southern accent
Speaker 1: and I sang it, but it doesn't sound any different.
Speaker 1: It just sounds like that's how we recorded. Amprey was
Speaker 1: standing in line the clubs will never gain in. It's
Speaker 1: like the bottom and it's just like, oh oh, it's like,
Speaker 1: well that's as thick as twang as I can put
Speaker 1: on there, but it just sounds. I was never offended
Speaker 1: by that so him until he did that, and I
Speaker 1: was like, does he think we can't get in clubs?
Speaker 1: It's kind of right. Ah, I've taken your perfectly Nashville
Speaker 1: tune guitar and just like just put it in something.
Speaker 1: You know. Uh, Well, that's my favorite thing though? Is
Speaker 1: this getting like like getting people all excited, like I'll
Speaker 1: start a tune just like that and they're like, oh
Speaker 1: oh oh I want to you know, and I look
Speaker 1: at this. I never just start screaming away and I
Speaker 1: just stop. I bet you can go with your concerts
Speaker 1: so too, right, like to people that love me, can't
Speaker 1: you just go? I'll do it? And they just think
Speaker 1: they could sing the whole thing and you could just
Speaker 1: hit chords hopefully if my throat's sore, like I'm you know,
Speaker 1: when you just do the you know you got this
Speaker 1: one and then you just start of walk around and
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, oh we paid, we paid to
Speaker 1: come to say her show so we could sing to you.
Speaker 1: Oh I get it, nailed it. I'm always intrigued by
Speaker 1: setlist and why you guys put where you put? Will
Speaker 1: you put Brandley? What do you start your show with?
Speaker 1: Right now? We have this little injury jam we do
Speaker 1: and it goes in to kick it and then what
Speaker 1: are you end the show with? And doesn't matter how
Speaker 1: good the crowd is. If you're headlining, will you do
Speaker 1: an encore anyway? Will you say I'm not doing an encore,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna stay here. Well, like how do you
Speaker 1: end your shows? So we kind of started doing this
Speaker 1: little hybrid thing. It's pretty cool. We do like ah,
Speaker 1: so it's it's kind of like a little mash up.
Speaker 1: Would kind of take take it outside into a couple
Speaker 1: of heavy metal songs and then not singing them, just
Speaker 1: music part and uh kind of finish out and then
Speaker 1: we kind of do this general build back in with
Speaker 1: like nine nine uh no no no, no, no no, hey
Speaker 1: hey good and then go from that end to reading
Speaker 1: my rights and then this show there. But that ways
Speaker 1: it's not like because at the end to take it outside,
Speaker 1: I like run down and you know, you ment to
Speaker 1: a show for I'll go down and see everybody tag
Speaker 1: hands and stuff, and I kind of just go backstage
Speaker 1: and then they start the build or the goodbye thing
Speaker 1: and I come back on. So it's not the encore thing.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm telling people how the show's gonna end. Right, Well,
Speaker 1: we're changing it for this show that was the last.
Speaker 1: Wait till you see what's coming up on this tour.
Speaker 1: What do you guys to start with, Chad, Uh, We're
Speaker 1: gonna to start off probably with our just generally you
Speaker 1: don't have to run this one but like why, like
Speaker 1: what do you generally do you start with a hit
Speaker 1: because you have so many. We start with the first
Speaker 1: rock single off of the album that we're pushing, you know,
Speaker 1: so you've got the whole They might not have complete familiarity,
Speaker 1: but you just walked on stage, so you've got that
Speaker 1: in your corner and they're like yay, and they're like
Speaker 1: and then by the end of the song, even if
Speaker 1: they don't know it, then then you just go straight
Speaker 1: into a hit right after that one. And then at
Speaker 1: the end of the show. You always I always end
Speaker 1: off with a big rocker, you know. Don't put them
Speaker 1: to sleep at the end. You forgot the show's only
Speaker 1: like ninety minutes long. Said everything they pull out? HiT's right,
Speaker 1: it's can you This is not the right way to
Speaker 1: ask a question, But you've played some of these songs
Speaker 1: so many times, and I'll relate it to me reading
Speaker 1: a prompter if I'm on TV, and sometimes I just
Speaker 1: check out, like I've done it so many times that
Speaker 1: it's hard for me if I've done it tenth out,
Speaker 1: can you do you just go? You go full run Burgundy. Well,
Speaker 1: it's like I'll get to the end of it. Won't
Speaker 1: even remember what a question mark abrupter? Can you get
Speaker 1: in the middle of one of these songs you've done
Speaker 1: so many times and like you think, Okay, well when
Speaker 1: I get home, I need to really get it's Uh.

Speaker 1: all right, I say that. Re entries So you'll be
Speaker 1: sitting there and you're like and you will drift on
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what was my second grade teacher's name?
Speaker 1: And you're just off there and you're off and then
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm standing in front of thousands of people
Speaker 1: and then you're like, what what verse am I on?
Speaker 1: And that re entry thing is like when you get
Speaker 1: back and you're like, where am I? What am I doing? Like,
Speaker 1: I'm just like, what what the hell's going on here?
Speaker 1: Re entry? Is any need for a prompter? Uh? Because
Speaker 1: you have so many songs? Well see see you don't
Speaker 1: want to tell people this stuff because they're just like,
Speaker 1: really like when you have ten albums, have you ever
Speaker 1: tried to carry okay, you like rock Star? Do you
Speaker 1: know how long? Like the lyrics are just it just
Speaker 1: goes on forever? Have you tried to karaoke rock Star? Yeah? Nightly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like it's just it just doesn't stop right. Uh. But
Speaker 1: you need like you just need so much oxygen because
Speaker 1: there's just no place to breathe. Um. And now you know,
Speaker 1: we try to do fun stuff with We call it
Speaker 1: like rock star karaoke. We'll bring people up and I'll
Speaker 1: say stuff like you know, if you if you forget
Speaker 1: the words, We've got them written down for you right here,
Speaker 1: and they just start looking down. Then it literally just
Speaker 1: turns into karaoke. So yes, um, urban legend about you.
Speaker 1: You can tell me if this is true or not. Oh,
Speaker 1: be careful. Given to me from a friend who's who
Speaker 1: was with you. Okay, you were on about maybe the
Speaker 1: one you mentioned earlier. You ever throw pillows up and
Speaker 1: then shoot them out of the sky from your boat
Speaker 1: well close close. Um, we had a couple uh aar
Speaker 1: fifteens and we were we were in international waters, completely legal.
Speaker 1: There's the Geneva Convention doesn't say anything about pillows. We
Speaker 1: weren't trying to shoot him out of this guy, but
Speaker 1: we'd have people go to the front of the boat
Speaker 1: and like and you're just kind of whipping these old
Speaker 1: pillows off into the you know, and then we were
Speaker 1: just shooting the hell out of him. In fact, um
Speaker 1: my skirty guy hawk, who's hiding somewhere? Um? Yes, and
Speaker 1: I have I may or may not have video this
Speaker 1: omni right now? Yes, where'd you hear that? Did I
Speaker 1: tell you this? You did not? It doesn't matter where.
Speaker 1: I'll never reveal my sources. Why are you saying, don't
Speaker 1: tell the story? Why what? I didn't do anything illegal?
Speaker 1: I might just people. There's a team of people back.
Speaker 1: They're just like, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't about to
Speaker 1: kick in the door. America is angry rotten? Did he
Speaker 1: say he don't out loud? Don't care? I'm triggered. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Braley doesn't want to look over at Chad's phone just
Speaker 1: in case what he sees, because you never want to
Speaker 1: look at anybody's phone while they're looking for something. Oh
Speaker 1: you are? Oh? I was thinking, like any fish that
Speaker 1: might be nearby? Okay, any fish? Do you know how
Speaker 1: hard it is to hit anything with a gun. You
Speaker 1: think you can shoot a fish? I don't know. Listen,
Speaker 1: it could just be disruptive. Oh dude, I've never thought
Speaker 1: I never thought it'd be you embroiled in this conversation
Speaker 1: right now, like I can totally find myself, but I
Speaker 1: didn't think what you what you don't know about me
Speaker 1: is uh, I might be twice as red neck as
Speaker 1: you are, but you just think because I'm Canadian that
Speaker 1: I don't have any of that in We're gonna go check,
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna shoot some Tanner right Nickelback and
Speaker 1: Brandley Gilbert. It's it seems like there will be plenty
Speaker 1: of it, plenty of Piro. Was that the second name
Speaker 1: of the tour? Just in case plenty of Pyro? I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with get Rolling. I'm all over. Tickets on
Speaker 1: sale ten am local time wherever you are. Where have
Speaker 1: you listening to us? Live nation dot com? Which, by
Speaker 1: the way, the new San Quentin awesome. We played that
Speaker 1: on the show. My prediction is, if I don't know
Speaker 1: think about it, I bet you guys end up doing
Speaker 1: a song together at some point. Oh I guarantee, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll probably I'll sneak up. Well he's you know, halfway through. No,
Speaker 1: not on stage stage? Are you slobbering over there? I'm
Speaker 1: talking about I've got him cry lapping, worried about the fish.
Speaker 1: Amy's sad for the guppies and we're over here. So
Speaker 1: my prediction is he'll I'll end up hopping on a
Speaker 1: Brandley song at some point, I hope, so, man, that
Speaker 1: would be amazing, that'd be super cool. Well, look, obviously
Speaker 1: I'm fancy both. Brandley love you. Brandley's the only guy
Speaker 1: I've ever called out of respect when I was mad
Speaker 1: at him because I was like, got the song. We
Speaker 1: did the same song. I know you guys didn't steal it,
Speaker 1: but I'm pissed, but don't beat me up, and I'm
Speaker 1: teking friends. One day later, what I did a comedy song.
Speaker 1: He did a song that was very similar, and I
Speaker 1: know he didn't there was no stealing of it, but
Speaker 1: I was just like, I gotta go on the year. Now,
Speaker 1: I'd say, we didn't steal it from you and now
Speaker 1: and then, but your song was a joke. Yes, well
Speaker 1: there's any song. So we did a song with another
Speaker 1: country guy from named John Party called uh, nobody cares
Speaker 1: about the opening act, right, that's what it was. Oh,
Speaker 1: you can't say that a country song. All of the
Speaker 1: sid you can't say in a country song. And then
Speaker 1: Brantley and Oh, I'd like they did worst country song.
Speaker 1: Of all time. I'd like to sit in on that
Speaker 1: on that uh that writing session. Things you can't say
Speaker 1: in that country song, but we already did it. Yeah
Speaker 1: we should. Yeah, I mean I've got I've got songs.
Speaker 1: It's like, you can't say that in a rock song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but different, different, Like when I start songs with I
Speaker 1: Like your pants around your feet, everyone's like, there's no
Speaker 1: way they're going to play that on the radio. I'm like,
Speaker 1: and we're just we're we're joking to each other and like,
Speaker 1: I'll bet you I can get I bet you I
Speaker 1: can write a song and it starts off with I
Speaker 1: like your pants around your feet and I'll bet you
Speaker 1: we can get it played on the radio two records later.
Speaker 1: Or I'll bet you that we can put you look
Speaker 1: so much cuter with something in your mouth in a
Speaker 1: song and we'll get it played on the radio. And
Speaker 1: they're like, there's no way in hell you're gonna do that,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna play it on the radio. Both those
Speaker 1: songs went to number one at rock radio. I bet
Speaker 1: you we can murder someone on a microphone. It just continues.
Speaker 1: He gets bored, so he's like, I bet you, literally
Speaker 1: you told nicol bet they could just jump from her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's awesome. My point is friendly. I love you and
Speaker 1: respect you, and that's the only reason I have any call.
Speaker 1: You'd be like, mayn, now I gotta go onead and
