Speaker 1: Wake up, Wake up in the marn and.
Speaker 2: It's turning the radio and.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers keeps on Tidy Lunchbox, More game too, Steve
Speaker 3: Bred and it's trying to put you through back. He's
Speaker 3: running his Wig's next bit and Bobby's on the box.
Speaker 4: So you know what this.
Speaker 1: Is the Bobby Ball.
Speaker 3: On the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Rascal Flex, we'll look
Speaker 3: at you guys. Back together? What a sight? What a thing?
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: I've been screaming about this for about a year now,
Speaker 3: and I don't take credit for it, but I take
Speaker 3: credit for it. Congratulations, I got you back together. Let's go.
Speaker 3: I'm not getting any percentage, though. Let's let's start with you. Gary.
Speaker 6: When was the call made that we should do this
Speaker 6: thing again?
Speaker 2: It was a couple of months ago, I think, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think my wife called you and said you've got
Speaker 2: to get him out of the.
Speaker 7: Allison call and I said, okay, all right, let's roll.
Speaker 3: So was it we should do this, Let's feel it
Speaker 3: out and see if we can everything can align, or
Speaker 3: and Joe dodn I'll come to you. Or was it like, yeah,
Speaker 3: we feel good, let's go.
Speaker 1: A little bit of all that, you know, our management
Speaker 1: talked about it. We leaned on them because.
Speaker 8: They know way more than we do with how the
Speaker 8: landscape is today. I mean, it's been five years, you know,
Speaker 8: and yeah, and they felt like next year in February
Speaker 8: through April would be good.
Speaker 3: Did you miss it, everybody? Did you miss each other?
Speaker 3: Did you miss the wow?
Speaker 1: What did you miss?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: I mean I miss playing music. I missed some of
Speaker 2: my most favorite memories in my life, my adult life
Speaker 2: is being on stage with these guys. So yes, when
Speaker 2: it was yanked away from us in twenty twenty, pandemic
Speaker 2: hit and everybody was kind of at a loss. Not
Speaker 2: to be able to put a proper exclamation point on
Speaker 2: our career really hurt. And so you know, I've said
Speaker 2: it my entire life. Carrie is one of the best
Speaker 2: singers I've ever heard, and it's really sucks not to
Speaker 2: be standing next to that every night. So I think
Speaker 2: it was a perfect opportunity for us to go out
Speaker 2: and celebrate twenty five wonderful years together. And I'm looking
Speaker 2: forward to seeing our fans because they've given us more
Speaker 2: than we could have ever imagined or hoped for.
Speaker 3: So the tour has not called it farewell tour, which,
Speaker 3: by the way, you know we're doing two days with
Speaker 3: you guys on this show. So tomorrow tickets are on
Speaker 3: sale and go to Rascal flats dot com get tickets
Speaker 3: at ten am Eastern warmind you tomorrow as well. But
Speaker 3: it's not called that. Hey, this is our last run.
Speaker 3: This is called the Life of a Highway tour. So
Speaker 3: maybe we're not Maybe this isn't a farewell Gary. I
Speaker 3: don't know. Are you exactly you got? I wanted to
Speaker 3: hear you got us together?
Speaker 7: How you're our agent?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you made me buy a hat when I came in.
Speaker 7: How much it was seventy five dollars?
Speaker 2: We got to go work.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you try to say it's about Hurricane Relieve, and
Speaker 7: I just want to put it in his pocket.
Speaker 6: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: That's I can't relieve.
Speaker 9: Yes, I get it.
Speaker 6: So maybe this this thing just is awesome and you
Speaker 6: love doing it.
Speaker 3: Maybe you just keep going. Is there a chance this
Speaker 3: is not the end?
Speaker 2: I think that's why we didn't call it a farewell tour.
Speaker 2: We're gonna see how these twenty two shows go. We're
Speaker 2: gonna stick our toe back in the water, and if
Speaker 2: the fans seem to love it, and we feel like
Speaker 2: there's a demand there. Who knows what will happen right now,
Speaker 2: the focus is on February and March next year.
Speaker 3: Have you, jodanav your rehears at all? All three of
Speaker 3: you guys. Have you done anything musically?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: You know what.
Speaker 8: We did some auditions for some new band mates actually
Speaker 8: last Tuesday, and it went great, the three new guys.
Speaker 3: And not for you your body guy that's taking my places.
Speaker 1: I was hoping we could just AI this stuff like holograms,
Speaker 1: but no.
Speaker 8: But the rehearsals went great, and it was nice to
Speaker 8: be back with Jay and our drummer Jim Riley who's
Speaker 8: been with us for twenty five years the whole time
Speaker 8: he was there, and just to play through the music again.
Speaker 8: I mean it's you know, it's a lot of music
Speaker 8: and blessed to have some songs that I think we're impactful.
Speaker 3: Rushed people where you rusted? Oh yeah, but I mean
Speaker 3: you guys have played I know, Gary been doing shows.
Speaker 3: You haven't seen you do shows, but it's it's.
Speaker 2: Been playing keys most of the time. That getting getting
Speaker 2: my fingers back on the base again and into that music.
Speaker 2: Was it was surreal and frightening.
Speaker 3: Did you practice before you guys, did your your deal
Speaker 3: together or did you just show up and be like,
Speaker 3: we'll figure out as we go.
Speaker 6: We've done this lot many times.
Speaker 2: The night before I kind of listened back through the
Speaker 2: music and kind of played around for this is the
Speaker 2: first time the three of us have been together in
Speaker 2: the same room in five years.
Speaker 3: Wait together at the same time.
Speaker 1: No, Gary, wasn't there actually classic kicking all right?
Speaker 3: Perfectly classic Gary.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, he couldn't make it, but working through musically
Speaker 8: is real. There what we need to do and hire
Speaker 8: those new band guys and it worked out great. But
Speaker 8: uh it, like Jay was saying, yeah, I mean, I've
Speaker 8: got a lot of cobwebs in these hands.
Speaker 1: You know, it's been a while.
Speaker 8: I've kind of gotten away from music for you know,
Speaker 8: a lot of different reasons, and but I'm back and
Speaker 8: I'm I'm definitely trying to practice as much as i
Speaker 8: can at the house. And my son Jagger is sixteen.
Speaker 8: He's eating alive with music and he's actually gotten me
Speaker 8: back into you know, jamming with him, which has been fabulous.
Speaker 6: Gary, do you practice singing at all?
Speaker 3: Are you good? You know, I'd sing all the time?
Speaker 3: Good I do?
Speaker 1: I really I do?
Speaker 3: Know? You literally do I realize, Like Gary's been at
Speaker 3: my house and he's like singing, and I'm like, wow,
Speaker 3: he really does what I would do if I could
Speaker 3: sing like that. It's all the time. Does your wife
Speaker 3: Everly say, Hey, yo, bro, we're good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah all the time. Yeah, Like we got it,
Speaker 7: we got it, We're good. You love it, you still
Speaker 7: love you love it?
Speaker 1: I do, man, I do. Yeah.
Speaker 7: I feel like that's what God's called me to do.
Speaker 7: So I just you know, I'm not going to stop
Speaker 7: him from doing what he's what He's given us. And
Speaker 7: you know, we're so excited to see all the fans
Speaker 7: and all. I mean, the demand has been crazy, so
Speaker 7: it's been Uh, it's going to be a blast.
Speaker 6: What's this like for you three guys sitting here?
Speaker 3: I didn't realize was the first time in five years,
Speaker 3: because I think I'd be a lot nervous if we
Speaker 3: hadn't done this. And we're like, let's say me Ami
Speaker 3: and Lunchbox that had been together, we've been together twenty
Speaker 3: something years.
Speaker 4: Well yeah, after they said that, I thought, I can't
Speaker 4: imagine not seeing y'all or being in the same room
Speaker 4: for five years and then suddenly at an interview or
Speaker 4: coming on the show, this being the first time y'all
Speaker 4: are sitting together and us doing that. Like I'm trying
Speaker 4: to think how I would feel well, nervous driving up here?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely you He'll be very honest about that. Yeah.
Speaker 8: I missed being around These guys are two of the
Speaker 8: funniest people I've ever been around in my life. And
Speaker 8: just so many memories, so many wonderful memories. And it
Speaker 8: hasn't all been rosy. I'm not gonna, you know, sugarcoat it,
Speaker 8: but it's it's so good to be back in the
Speaker 8: same room together and see Gary and hug him and
Speaker 8: be together again.
Speaker 1: It's really special.
Speaker 3: Like, like, what songs do you even like to play?
Speaker 6: You have so many?
Speaker 3: Like what's so because I think I like the ballads?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I like to feel ballads.
Speaker 2: Yeah I do too.
Speaker 7: Well, We've got plenty.
Speaker 2: You do have a lot. We had to force ourselves
Speaker 2: to put up tempo singles out so everybody wouldn't fall asleep,
Speaker 2: And they came to a show a medley of mids
Speaker 2: and a medley of balance.
Speaker 7: So good night.
Speaker 3: Let me ask this extremely cliche question. Then what's the
Speaker 3: one song you're looking forward to playing live? I want
Speaker 3: a different answer from all three of you. Let's go
Speaker 3: to you first, Jay.
Speaker 2: Uh Bless the Broken Road. It's always been one of
Speaker 2: my favorites. I think it showcases are blend in our
Speaker 2: harm and he's just about as well as any song
Speaker 2: we've ever done.
Speaker 6: That's a good one.
Speaker 3: It's going to be a hit. Gary's the Highway. Oh
Speaker 3: he took my answer that song and I and it's
Speaker 3: been discussed, but I think for younger listeners or fans
Speaker 3: of your music to hear that song and they go,
Speaker 3: that song's awesome. It's from cars. It's a big hit.
Speaker 3: It was never actually a radio song, huh true. It
Speaker 3: just it pops so hard that the people just started
Speaker 3: playing it randomly and is now maybe your most streamed
Speaker 3: song ever.
Speaker 2: I think it started popping off on TikTok and then
Speaker 2: it just started going from there.
Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting how you talk about TikTok. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I saw you when you use that accent. Were you
Speaker 3: just singing with the life Highway?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 4: And uh.
Speaker 7: Tom Cochran just got inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall
Speaker 7: of fame, And so they called me and asked me
Speaker 7: that if I'd go out there, and I thought I did,
Speaker 7: and he killed it.
Speaker 2: He named his farm flats farm that he bought.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, because he made so much money off
Speaker 3: all you guys. Yeah, I wonder I just.
Speaker 7: We just kept saying you're welcome all night.
Speaker 1: Just you're welcome.
Speaker 2: Tom.
Speaker 3: You think he made more money off you guys doing
Speaker 3: it than him doing it?
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely helped.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, dang, that's pretty cool. Yeah, do you guys mechanical?
Speaker 3: Do you guys make mechanical world? Off that a little bit,
Speaker 3: but mostly goes to him.
Speaker 2: Mostly goes to him. Time we get the sound exchange money.
Speaker 7: But it's a Canadians. It's loonies and tunies and that's
Speaker 7: what the what the conversion is on on that shall
Speaker 7: know what year?
Speaker 4: That was just fun, like what was it? Cars two
Speaker 4: thousand and six?
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, good for you, that's the first.
Speaker 2: You know, you're you know what?
Speaker 7: He wrote it eight eighty six, ninety one that late.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't realize.
Speaker 3: I thought it was like much younger than that. Okay,
Speaker 3: I have more questions about this because I like the
Speaker 3: dynamic here. We're back together a bunch of friends. You
Speaker 3: got like all the Grammys, you have all the number
Speaker 3: one songs? What else is there to do? Or is
Speaker 3: what else to do? Just to celebrate what you've done?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: You know what I think eluded us that we never
Speaker 2: were able to take home was Entertainer of the Year.
Speaker 2: All those years that we sold, you know, wonderful amounts
Speaker 2: of tickets on all those tours, we never really took
Speaker 2: that trophy home at the ACMs or the CMA's.
Speaker 3: Sore spot, I mean would be from It's hard. It's
Speaker 3: hard were you guys are the biggest thing in pop,
Speaker 3: not only in pop but in country at the same time.
Speaker 2: Will it's it's I wouldn't say sore spot because we've
Speaker 2: been so blessed, but it's the one thing that I
Speaker 2: wish we would have been able to have achieved in
Speaker 2: our career.
Speaker 3: Do you think it's because there was jealousy? Because you
Speaker 3: guys had transcended where your rightful place was and you
Speaker 3: didn't try to you didn't try to be this massive
Speaker 3: pop sensation. Do you think there was jealousy? And so
Speaker 3: I bet you were held back from that.
Speaker 2: There was a lot of hair envy Let's be honest.
Speaker 2: Our hair was on point back then, it wasn't gray,
Speaker 2: and it was, you know, magnificent.
Speaker 7: The politics of the business, you know, who knows all
Speaker 7: we can do is we're in charge of trying to
Speaker 7: make and write and record great music. And after that,
Speaker 7: who knows?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 7: And for me, I think like Album of the Year
Speaker 7: two you know, in two thousand and six, and we
Speaker 7: outsold everybody that put out a record in any genre
Speaker 7: in the entire world.
Speaker 2: That's one of my favorite memories. Sitting beside Gary at
Speaker 2: the Grammys in Los Angeles during a commercial break, he
Speaker 2: leaned over to me. It was just a moment that
Speaker 2: he and I shared together, and he whispered, he said, look,
Speaker 2: there's jay Z, there's Beyonce, there's Lady Gaga. And I
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, this is pretty incredible. He said, Now
Speaker 2: I think about this, this year, we've sold more records
Speaker 2: than all of these people in this building. And it
Speaker 2: gave me chills. And it was just he and I
Speaker 2: sharing that moment together because you know, two boys growing
Speaker 2: up in Columbus, Ohio, who would have ever dreamed that
Speaker 2: moment would come?
Speaker 3: And you still didn't win Album of the Year.
Speaker 7: No, no, you can get a performance, but Paisley played ticks.
Speaker 7: I'd like to kick you for true story, We're like,
Speaker 7: what hurts the most? We couldn't even get a performance.
Speaker 3: That's funny.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was in therapys, was representing Country Let's go.
Speaker 3: Yesterday, I was in therapy talking about how I am.
Speaker 3: I have a very sore spot. I understand I've been
Speaker 3: blessed and all the same stuff you guys just said
Speaker 3: blah blah blah, but I am like so irritated that
Speaker 3: I haven't hosted the ACMs or CMAS yet and I've
Speaker 3: been very close, like three times, and on ACMs now
Speaker 3: I'm like second Banana, Reba does it.
Speaker 6: I'm there with her the whole time, but I'm not
Speaker 6: the host.
Speaker 3: But I think both can exist where I'm really irritated
Speaker 3: and yeah, and and I think it's human nature, it's.
Speaker 1: And you would kill it. So I think it's it's time.
Speaker 3: But I mean, it's it's weird that I that you
Speaker 3: would think, Wow, Rascal Flights say they have done it
Speaker 3: all all the hits. Yet still when I asked the question,
Speaker 3: I kind of wanted to see where the human part
Speaker 3: of you went, Like what is there to do, and
Speaker 3: it was, oh, we didn't have Entertainer of the Year. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I don't think anybody would have ever even known
Speaker 3: you didn't. Yeah you did. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2: Just roll with it.
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah we did. Yeah, Teach was awesome.
Speaker 2: When the Mandela effect we won. We want we did,
Speaker 2: we want it several times.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna ask this question in a sensitive way
Speaker 3: because I said some stuff and I said, I hope
Speaker 3: you guys tour. I've been saying it forever, but I said,
Speaker 3: when you do do this tour, don't put out any
Speaker 3: new music for a bit. What are guys doing? You
Speaker 3: doing new music? I just gotta be honest. I said
Speaker 3: that I want to come forth, and I was like,
Speaker 3: we want you to tour. You have to get back
Speaker 3: together like we demand it, but don't put out new music.
Speaker 3: When you do it, let's celebrate you. Then after that
Speaker 3: tour can put out new music.
Speaker 2: Well, as you well know, it gets harder and harder
Speaker 2: the longer you're together and the longer you were touring,
Speaker 2: because you compete against yourself. There are so many great
Speaker 2: songs in the catalog to play on radio that're putting
Speaker 2: another new one out. Just to put a new one
Speaker 2: out is seems a little an exercise and futility.
Speaker 3: So he said, you're not putting a new stuff.
Speaker 2: We're not.
Speaker 3: We're going to perfect.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The only way I would say that I think you
Speaker 3: need after this tour. But I think this par is
Speaker 3: about the celebration and you guys getting back together.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know it's really to celebrate the fans
Speaker 7: forgiving us absolute career. I mean, this is the silver
Speaker 7: you believe. And we're not just talking about our hair color.
Speaker 7: I'm talking about five years.
Speaker 3: What's like the moment you look back at jodn have
Speaker 3: you guys' career. It could be at your height, or
Speaker 3: it could be when you first started to pop or
Speaker 3: when you first played your first show together that you
Speaker 3: look back and you're like, man, if there was like
Speaker 3: one moment they show, like show me a Rascal Flats
Speaker 3: moment they showed this moment, what would it be?
Speaker 8: Well, I mean it's like a top ten list for that,
Speaker 8: you know. But in all honesty, I truly mean this.
Speaker 8: Our work with the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital through the years,
Speaker 8: it has been extraordinary. I mean, that's that's our legacy
Speaker 8: and just being able to have a platform, to be
Speaker 8: able to raise the kind of money we're able to
Speaker 8: raise for the hospital, and to meet so many amazing families,
Speaker 8: so many amazing children. There's some sad situations obviously, but
Speaker 8: a lot of positive ones too. For me, that's like
Speaker 8: the ultimate you know, do you guys ever do Letterman? Yeah,
Speaker 8: the coldest stage and in the any theater, in the freezing.
Speaker 2: He picked the most random song off of our record
Speaker 2: because he didn't like any of our singles. He picked
Speaker 2: this I think Still Feels Good is the one that
Speaker 2: he wanted.
Speaker 10: Played an album cut ye on the it was the
Speaker 10: title the album on the show there but on the
Speaker 10: show what about Leno?
Speaker 6: Do you ever do Leno?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, right after Joe Don showed his rear end.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me that I got us on Leno?
Speaker 3: Where was your got it? Got it?
Speaker 7: Yeah? We did all of them, Conan, I mean, I
Speaker 7: don't There wasn't any that we didn't do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've still got the plaque from Lenno that says, hey,
Speaker 2: Rascal flats, more butts, more showers, they.
Speaker 3: Give you a plaque?
Speaker 5: Is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: That's that's better than it's end of the year.
Speaker 2: You just want to hanging right in my living room
Speaker 2: the butt.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, I'll just use an example like FGL. Eventually
Speaker 3: they'll get back together. Eventually. They don't like each other
Speaker 3: right now, yeah, but they'll get back together at some
Speaker 3: point because they miss it or they miss like I
Speaker 3: don't know, do you recommend that they like somehow try
Speaker 3: to keep some sort of relationship because eventually it's gonna
Speaker 3: happen regardless.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: It's interesting. I've had a chance to sit down with
Speaker 2: the Restless Road guys and several different duos over the years,
Speaker 2: and especially the past four years, and my advice is
Speaker 2: always to nurture your relationship and take care of it first,
Speaker 2: because a lot of crap from the outside can get
Speaker 2: in and convolute it. And if you don't stay tight,
Speaker 2: and you don't stay honest with each other and care
Speaker 2: about each other, you run the danger of letting the
Speaker 2: business tear you apart. And it's just the truth of it.
Speaker 2: So with Gary and I it's a little different. We're families.
Speaker 2: We're families, so we've we've always found a way to
Speaker 2: stay connected and always found a way to care about
Speaker 2: each other. And I think we found in Jod on
Speaker 2: somebody that feels as close as family, So you know,
Speaker 2: it's not all a Betta Roses. When you're in a
Speaker 2: band for twenty plus years and you've got three distinct
Speaker 2: personalities and different opinions, you're gonna have disagreements. But I
Speaker 2: feel like we did a very good job for the
Speaker 2: most of the amount of time we were together of
Speaker 2: trying to put our personal pursuits to the side and
Speaker 2: serving Rascal Flats as a whole. And I think that's
Speaker 2: why we were able to have that longevity. Now, we
Speaker 2: never had somebody that cared enough about us to say,
Speaker 2: why don't you guys take a year off, recharge yourselves,
Speaker 2: go and do some things that you guys want to
Speaker 2: do personally, get those out of the way, and then
Speaker 2: come back together in a more healthy environment. We got
Speaker 2: on the machine and the machine did not stop. So
Speaker 2: I've been grateful for the past few years because it's
Speaker 2: made me appreciate what we were able to do together
Speaker 2: and what kind of ride we were actually on together.
Speaker 2: And now I can come back to this and go,
Speaker 2: this is really really special and it's a big part
Speaker 2: of my life that I've missed extremely over the last
Speaker 2: few years. But I'm glad we had this time because
Speaker 2: Gary got to do what he should have been doing,
Speaker 2: his own music, his own shows. Joe Don concentrated on
Speaker 2: his personal health and his well being, and I'm so
Speaker 2: proud of him. I have to say that what this
Speaker 2: man has come through on the other side of it
Speaker 2: is remarkable and he's a completely different person, and I
Speaker 2: really really am proud of what he's been able to do.
Speaker 2: And then I got to do some things that I've
Speaker 2: always wanted to do. I always felt like I would
Speaker 2: be good on the other side of the business, and
Speaker 2: I've been able to try that with Red Street. So
Speaker 2: I think all of us are stronger now and we
Speaker 2: have a greater appreciation for it, maybe than we did
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty.
Speaker 6: Joda, I think I saw a tweet from you.
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, Sobriety, I liked it whatever it was,
Speaker 3: Oh thank you. Yeah, I remember liking it. Pushing a
Speaker 3: little hard. So what is your situation now? How long
Speaker 3: you've been sober?
Speaker 1: Three years? And it's kind of crazy.
Speaker 8: For my birthday September thirteenth is my actual sober date
Speaker 8: as well, so three years and it's it's different. I'll
Speaker 8: tell you that grateful to be sober today and present
Speaker 8: and like and I never dreamed that was possible, and
Speaker 8: I wouldn't have been able to do that without this
Speaker 8: time off. I mean this past five years, I've just
Speaker 8: you know, I've needed it for a long time and
Speaker 8: it was just finally time and some really great friends
Speaker 8: in Nashville got me the help I needed, And I'm
Speaker 8: forever grateful.
Speaker 6: Once Gary was in my house and he spit in
Speaker 6: a mountain dew can.
Speaker 3: First he cut the top off, like the hillbilly he is, yeah,
Speaker 3: with the pocket knife, and then he was there for
Speaker 3: a bit and he just spinning in the can, spin
Speaker 3: in the can, spin the can. Just left it and
Speaker 3: like a day later, my wife's like, why is there
Speaker 3: a mountain dew can with a bunch of like dip
Speaker 3: spit in it?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you just told her that you should have just
Speaker 7: told her you have an issue that you haven't been
Speaker 7: telling her.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's the greatest memorabilia in Rascal Flat's history.
Speaker 2: Like I have your man Carrie spit tune.
Speaker 3: I think people don't understand how a country you guys
Speaker 3: are at times, because again you mentioned the hair earlier.
Speaker 2: Like you guys were pretty Yeah, and I think there
Speaker 2: were a lot of years you mentioned it where people
Speaker 2: didn't know what to make of us. We were a
Speaker 2: little on the pop side and scared some folks. But
Speaker 2: when we'd get into a conference room on the radio tour,
Speaker 2: people would I remember this, people would drill us and
Speaker 2: they'd go like, you guys don't really know country, and
Speaker 2: then we'd start singing Merle Haggers.
Speaker 3: Oh youre as hillbelly as anybody around here. It's just
Speaker 3: all the hair. Was like, Wow, you guys are so pretty.
Speaker 1: I feel pretty with our hair.
Speaker 2: Look at that. That's pretty right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's me. That's a cutout. I like to look
Speaker 3: at myself. Okay, So here's all I want to say.
Speaker 3: Rascal Flats back on tour, starting off in February. When
Speaker 3: do you start practicing together? When do you start doing
Speaker 3: the rehearsal?
Speaker 2: Boy in January?
Speaker 3: Any Pyro?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've taken all of kisses stuff away from them.
Speaker 2: Now that's there.
Speaker 1: I heard all the bills and whistles.
Speaker 6: Have you done any of that?
Speaker 3: You're gonna play all the hits, right? Can you get
Speaker 3: all the hits in?
Speaker 2: We figured we'd do a whole bunch of new material and.
Speaker 3: The letter The Letterman Show. Can you play all the
Speaker 3: hits in one concert?
Speaker 6: All the number ones?
Speaker 2: I started kind of scratching out set list the other
Speaker 2: day and it was fun because we've been away from
Speaker 2: it from a minute for a minute, so some new
Speaker 2: things occurred to me that I never really saw before,
Speaker 2: and they were sitting right in front of me. So
Speaker 2: I'm excited for us to get back in and start
Speaker 2: hammering away at it. And I hope Gary doesn't get
Speaker 2: mad at me for putting too many songs in a
Speaker 2: row that he has to scream.
Speaker 3: What's the hardest song to sing?
Speaker 2: For you?
Speaker 3: Gary?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 3: Every night you have to sing it. It's but either
Speaker 3: it gets difficult because you're doing it night after night,
Speaker 3: or it's just hard to do it once.
Speaker 1: I melt would be one. Yeah, probably, that's always for sure,
Speaker 1: That's one of the highest ones.
Speaker 7: That's all.
Speaker 1: We don't do it live, but they're all demanding.
Speaker 2: I mean, you mean we have we have we are
Speaker 2: doing that habit.
Speaker 3: You can do like rolling Stones and they get people
Speaker 3: on the back to play this stuff. Yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 3: just like do that. You ever heard somebody impersonate you
Speaker 3: or start to sing like you and they.
Speaker 2: Sounds just like you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: Shame Dana J does. But like you know the guy
Speaker 3: from Journey, Oh yeah, he sounds the guy. This things
Speaker 3: now sounds just like yeah. Ever heard anybody online?
Speaker 2: This thing is just like hey, you know what the
Speaker 2: drummer Dean Castronovo is even better than Arnell is and
Speaker 2: singing in the Journey. Oh yeah you know him?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, as a major like I wouldn't have
Speaker 3: known that.
Speaker 6: Well we he was.
Speaker 2: He's been in Journey for a long time. We did
Speaker 2: a Crossroads with him and also uh the supergroup that
Speaker 2: I put together back in twenty twenty. He played drums
Speaker 2: on that record and it was remarkable to hear him
Speaker 2: sing the Journey stuff. I mean, they offered him the
Speaker 2: gig before Arnell and he was like, no, it's too
Speaker 2: too hard on a singer.
Speaker 3: I want to tell everybody. Tickets go on sell tomorrow
Speaker 3: and so yeah, again, The Life has a Highway tour.
Speaker 3: Go to Rascal Flats dot com. Laura Laane and Chris
Speaker 3: Lane coming out with you guys, go watch them because
Speaker 3: if you go and they sell out every show, they'll
Speaker 3: do more shows. You heard it here, you heard it here.
Speaker 3: Thank you guys. I love to see you guys back together.
Speaker 3: I'm super happy for it and I'm really looking forward
Speaker 3: to seeing you guys back on the stage. So they
Speaker 3: are Rascal Flats, love.
Speaker 2: You, Bobby, Thank you.
Speaker 3: Time for the news. Bobby's If someone cheats on their
Speaker 3: partner in one relationship, the odds are they'll cheat in
Speaker 3: the next. Researchers found that those who were unfaithful in
Speaker 3: one relationship had three times the odds of being unfaithful
Speaker 3: in the next compared to those who had not cheated.
Speaker 3: Experts say, it's because once you cross that line and
Speaker 3: haveing an affair, you always see it as an option,
Speaker 3: because that line becomes very blurred. I'd say two, it's
Speaker 3: that's cheating sometimes is a symptom of something that you're
Speaker 3: not able to fix within yourself. So let me run
Speaker 3: a scenario by you. Girl is in a relationship with guy.
Speaker 3: Girl cheats on guy, Girl breaks up, God break up.
Speaker 3: She's in a new relationship. She gets a new relationship
Speaker 3: a person the guy doesn't know about the girl cheating
Speaker 3: on the last guy. Blah blah blah. She starts to
Speaker 3: feel a bit of how she felt with the last guy,
Speaker 3: Like I don't know, I don't really feel like myself
Speaker 3: or starts that same cycle cheats on guy and it
Speaker 3: can be flipped either way. I think a lot of
Speaker 3: times cheating is a symptom of something more than just
Speaker 3: they want to cheat, unless it's a dude and dude
Speaker 3: are just like boobs because we're idiots.
Speaker 4: Am so the symptoms addressed, then it could.
Speaker 6: Yes, it could be fixed.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's from the archives of sexual behavior, which
Speaker 3: I read every morning before I from ME magazine. Keep
Speaker 3: it to yourself when it comes to your opinions for
Speaker 3: the sake of your career. Keep your opinions about politics
Speaker 3: or religion and co workers to yourself unless you are
Speaker 3: asked about it and feel comfortable with giving that answer.
Speaker 3: You may not personally like a coworker, but your boss
Speaker 3: does not need that from you. Sharing secrets or opinions
Speaker 3: may make you seem immature or rude, and that definitely
Speaker 3: hurts your chances of moving up the corporate ladder. And
Speaker 3: depending on what slanderous thing was said, it could be
Speaker 3: grounds of well a lot of things, including termination. So
Speaker 3: I agree with keep your opinions to yourself unless you're asked.
Speaker 3: There is a part of people that go, well, if
Speaker 3: I share like intimate feelings, I bond closer with this
Speaker 3: person and then maybe they give me the benefit of
Speaker 3: it out, or if it's a boss. The problem with
Speaker 3: that is one, they may not give you the benefit
Speaker 3: of it out, and two they may disagree with you.
Speaker 3: And that's the big one. If they disagree with you,
Speaker 3: there's no chance, like the odds are like thirty percent
Speaker 3: that it helps you, and that's not the odd I
Speaker 3: want to play. Yeah, it's not worth it. So religion, politics,
Speaker 3: and other coworkers unless you're specifically asked.
Speaker 6: And you also know if I.
Speaker 11: Tell you this, I'm good right because you may not agree.
Speaker 3: Just keep it to yourself unless it's a super close
Speaker 3: in an environment too. Stays with the highest and lowest IQ's,
Speaker 3: but it's the stupid as they ever heard. Oh boy,
Speaker 3: what do you.
Speaker 6: Think the highest is?
Speaker 4: Okay, well, I can guess the lowest, so you can
Speaker 4: shut your.
Speaker 12: Herd somewhere on the East coast New York, Boston, Massachusetts state.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we won't do low yip that, let's skip that one,
Speaker 3: and we like bet you I can guess because Massachusetts
Speaker 3: has the highest IQ with the average of over one hundred.
Speaker 5: Oh you know, the one sounds really smart. Pennsylvania. They
Speaker 5: smart because they got a pen place.
Speaker 3: They smart.
Speaker 6: They smart, penn the college, the Ivy League school.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I just assumed they have to be smart
Speaker 3: through penn state. Oh, I forgot about that one.
Speaker 6: So Massachusetts number one, New Hampshire number two.
Speaker 3: The only state not in New England because most of
Speaker 3: the top are those are is North Dakota, which has
Speaker 3: a reputation front a very strong education system.
Speaker 4: Really, let's model our other educations.
Speaker 6: Who knew I felt that anyway?
Speaker 3: Low iq, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, arkansall shut up?
Speaker 6: Was Arkansas last? Well, it's like who knows? Who's just
Speaker 6: a group? Who knows a last night?
Speaker 3: Were just group together togethersispep louising in Alabama, Arkansas.
Speaker 4: It's probably alphabetical like backgrounds.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I know, but Alabama would have been last thime.
Speaker 6: That's the case.
Speaker 3: But thank you for that, I say, I appreciate you
Speaker 3: looking at you know what, you can open your hole again.
Speaker 3: I appreciate you trying to help me a little bit there.
Speaker 3: That's from the Daily Mail, but it's ours is education.
Speaker 3: There's things they give a crap about schools, like maybe
Speaker 3: like two schools they invest money and they still want
Speaker 3: invest money in education the level they should. In my
Speaker 3: home state, they prioritize that crap. Weird. Six and ten
Speaker 3: Americans have diets that contribute to inflammation. I'm new to inflammation,
Speaker 3: like the understanding of why it's so bad.
Speaker 4: You know, your body's not new to it though, trust me,
Speaker 4: it ain't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, your body's known forever. My body has been it. Yeah, inflames,
Speaker 3: it's completely inflamed. The Americans are eating their way to inflammation,
Speaker 3: and it puts them at risk of cancer, heart disease,
Speaker 3: other serious problems. Amy, I'd say you're far more educated
Speaker 3: on inflammation than me, just with what you studied in
Speaker 3: your podcast. Can you just explain inflammation because to me,
Speaker 3: it just feels like inflammation. My inside just flame out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it can show up because of various behaviors,
Speaker 4: whether things you're eating or things you're doing to your body.
Speaker 3: What is it though?
Speaker 6: Like what do you mean?
Speaker 4: Well, for I don't know that what I get medical definition,
Speaker 4: but like inflammation for me sometimes will show up in
Speaker 4: my face, so it's more swollen looking, can be red further,
Speaker 4: and there can be pain associated with it, but it's
Speaker 4: your body's way of reacting to something that it doesn't like.
Speaker 3: I think the slogan of Arkansas, how I grew up
Speaker 3: in what I was eating and education should have been
Speaker 3: in Arkansas the state of inflammation because like a quality
Speaker 3: meal was like a mam wich and some doritos. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and that was partly socioeconomic, right. We didn't have much money,
Speaker 3: but most people don't. It's not like ar guess as
Speaker 3: a rich state. But that goes for a lot of
Speaker 3: this South, like we don't.
Speaker 4: Know, and inflammation, when you have a lot of it,
Speaker 4: that's what contributes to disease.
Speaker 3: So really a normal part of the body's response to
Speaker 3: injury or infection. Inflammation occurs in the body releases chemicals
Speaker 3: a trigger and immune response to fight off infection, heal
Speaker 3: damage tissue. Once the injury or infection is healed, the
Speaker 3: inflammation ends, but you're infected or yeah, I'm new to inflammation,
Speaker 3: meaning I never knew it was a thing.
Speaker 4: And there's anti inflammatory food so if you eat them,
Speaker 4: that'll help bring inflammation down.
Speaker 3: And is it as it sounds like, does something get
Speaker 3: big inflamed? Yes, it's like my bloating is the easy
Speaker 3: example for my dumb brain. It's like inflammation. What's it mean,
Speaker 3: bloating my gut?
Speaker 4: Okay, a great example for me. And I can see
Speaker 4: it like I can look at my body or my
Speaker 4: face and no, I'm in recovery now. But I had
Speaker 4: an eating disorder for a long time, and if I
Speaker 4: was really active in it, I can see it in
Speaker 4: my face even if you're not eating well because bulimia
Speaker 4: was part of it. So there's a purge happening, and
Speaker 4: that would cause a lot of damage to my organs,
Speaker 4: my body, my face. There was a lot of pressure,
Speaker 4: like it's not healthy at all, but I can I
Speaker 4: look back at pictures and I can know, oh, that
Speaker 4: was probably two thousand and you know, fifteen because right
Speaker 4: after my mom died, I hadn't My eating sort of
Speaker 4: came back after being relatively healthy for several several years
Speaker 4: with it, but it just came back as a coping tool,
Speaker 4: like it was a way that I would numb some
Speaker 4: of my feelings because I didn't want to feel the pain.
Speaker 4: And I can see it in my face and some
Speaker 4: people are like, what if my face went down? But
Speaker 4: it took once I got into recovery. It probably took
Speaker 4: a year or two for my face to wow, to
Speaker 4: go down because and I'll show you all pictures. You'll
Speaker 4: see it. My face is so puffy and it's because
Speaker 4: I was purging, and I well, I.
Speaker 6: Think your face is pretty now well, but that I
Speaker 6: can tell.
Speaker 5: You, yeah, because I'm hoping Eddie can maybe eat.
Speaker 3: Some of his nose. The noses not flying, that's natural, Man'
Speaker 3: just large.
Speaker 4: And doctors know what to look for to like you
Speaker 4: can see the inflammation. Like one of my friends is
Speaker 4: a therapist, and she said that sometimes her clients will
Speaker 4: lie like, oh yeah, I'm not purging or I'm not
Speaker 4: doing anything, but she can see it in their face.
Speaker 4: Or even alcoholics you're not drink, Yes, yeah, big time.
Speaker 3: In the mirror.
Speaker 4: I didn't drink.
Speaker 3: Is my head so bit?
Speaker 6: I have a huge head.
Speaker 3: It's not all the years of bloody sanwiches that I thought.
Speaker 3: It was all the bloody swiches and white bread and
Speaker 3: inflammatory foods lunch box blueberries.
Speaker 6: But it's not stuff that it's like we're gonna like
Speaker 6: that's it's like healthy food.
Speaker 3: For the most part. We don't like them. He likes that. Wah. Yeah,
Speaker 3: alright garlica okay, so a little bit of fine on
Speaker 3: stuff ginger, tumoric green and black tea pass. Who am
Speaker 3: I Queen of England things?
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, thank you. Whole grains fine, I think.
Speaker 3: Leafy green veggies, legumes, fatty fish and berries. There you go.
Speaker 3: The Penguin Episode two brings in one point six million
Speaker 3: viewers on HBO and Max. I've not watched it. Hey, Mike,
Speaker 3: do you when you come over? I know it's not
Speaker 3: a movie, but you do. You're like me, You like
Speaker 3: the nerdy TV shows and the ping one is Batman, right, yeah?
Speaker 3: It takes place right after the Batman movie with they
Speaker 3: made with Robert Pattinson.
Speaker 6: It follows the movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it takes place like a few days after that movie. Cool,
Speaker 3: Oh in it? No, it's just the Penguin. Who is Penguin?
Speaker 3: He's like who He's famous? Right? Who's the guy? Colin Farrell?
Speaker 3: Colin Farrell.
Speaker 6: It's a good one.
Speaker 3: But any de Vitos who I think back in the
Speaker 3: day they but in that makeup, you can't tell it's
Speaker 3: him at all. Really, Yeah, that'd be tough to do
Speaker 3: a movie or a show. You have to put on
Speaker 3: all that makeup all the time. I just think of
Speaker 3: Jim Carrey when he did The Grinch and he was like,
Speaker 3: I had to hire navy seals that that could teach
Speaker 3: me how to do pain training when he put it
Speaker 3: on because it's so painful. That's that's a wild Yeah.
Speaker 3: Colin Farrel said he's basically done after this because it's
Speaker 3: so terrible the process.
Speaker 6: That's so you guys don't know this, but this is
Speaker 6: a two pay wig that I wear. Some of my
Speaker 6: hair is not so luscious every morning and artfully tapped.
Speaker 3: Okay, well that'd be weird if all of a sudden
Speaker 3: I was like, guys, I've been keeping so yeah, the
Speaker 3: show's killing it.
Speaker 6: So check it out.
Speaker 3: Tuesday Reviewesday. We did on this week Slow Horses. I
Speaker 3: did Slow Horses. The show it's on Apple.
Speaker 6: It's so good.
Speaker 3: We just start season two now it's three seasons. I
Speaker 3: think season four is happening now.
Speaker 6: It's so good.
Speaker 3: If you have Apple TV or Apple I don't know
Speaker 3: how you watch it. It's a streaming service. I guess
Speaker 3: I pay for right or maybe you can buy the
Speaker 3: episodes individually. It's British, but it's about spies. It's so good.
Speaker 3: It's like one of my top five shows in the
Speaker 3: past few months now, So check out Slow Horses.
Speaker 6: Younger people sacrifice mental health for career advancement. Hi, everybody,
Speaker 6: I'm Bobby.
Speaker 7: Are you?
Speaker 4: Are you part of younger People?
Speaker 6: No, but I think I did.
Speaker 3: Does that?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh when you're younger yeah yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, completely sacrifice.
Speaker 3: Age. You know, you're taking your shots.
Speaker 6: It's okay.
Speaker 3: New research shit, yeah yeah, my brain's all on flame
Speaker 3: now from that, because new research shows that the quest
Speaker 3: for professional success might be coming at the expense of
Speaker 3: people's health, especially when they're young. A recent study found
Speaker 3: that forty seven percent of people I meant to sacrificing
Speaker 3: their mental health to get ahead in their careers. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a big time part of that. In seventy two
Speaker 3: percent say these search for stability is the key factor
Speaker 3: in determining their success. Yet that's from lad Bible. To
Speaker 3: be fair, I didn't quite understand mental health. I don't
Speaker 3: think a lot of us did fifteen years ago as
Speaker 3: much as we do now and now. If you're gonna
Speaker 3: go work out your biceps or get your cardio in, like,
Speaker 3: there's also a muscle that's as equal. It's not more
Speaker 3: important your brain that we don't think we should take
Speaker 3: care of as much because we weren't trained. Our culture
Speaker 3: didn't tell us what that needs to be taken care of,
Speaker 3: and that is mental health. I'm a big mental health guy.
Speaker 3: Didn't do it for a long time. I'm big dental
Speaker 3: care guys too. I didn't do it till I could,
Speaker 3: just my twenties. So it's like, people don't realize you
Speaker 3: only have one set or two set of teeth, right,
Speaker 3: baby one and then the last one. That's it.
Speaker 6: I think people do realize that, yeah, don't.
Speaker 3: I think most people realize you only get the ones
Speaker 3: fall out and then you have one more set. I
Speaker 3: don't think anyone thinks of it's like a snake skin.
Speaker 3: They just shed and replace. I feel like you brush
Speaker 3: your teeth a lot more if you thought about that.
Speaker 3: And I from Marktsaw dude, and we're dumb according to
Speaker 3: that story, and I knew that we're not dumb, buddy,
Speaker 3: get off our backs. That's the news. Those Bobby's nice.
Speaker 3: A couple of things I want to talk about. How
Speaker 3: about number one? We had Rascal Flats in and we
Speaker 3: talked about a lot of stuff. They're back together, which
Speaker 3: is super cool. And so there's Jada Marcus, there's Gary
Speaker 3: the lead singer, there's jo Don and Jay plays bass
Speaker 3: and other instruments, and Jodn plays guitar.
Speaker 6: Jay's running record label.
Speaker 3: Jo Don has had issues with sobriety and it's been
Speaker 3: pretty public and he's been sober for a while and
Speaker 3: he's I remember when he posted that and I liked it.
Speaker 3: I'm super happy for him. Happy there together. We were
Speaker 3: just doing the interview earlier, and this is Jay talking
Speaker 3: about jo don sobriety.
Speaker 2: Jo Don concentrated on his personal health and his well being,
Speaker 2: and I'm so proud of him. I have to say
Speaker 2: that what this man has come through on the other
Speaker 2: side of it is remarkable and he's a completely different
Speaker 2: person and I really really am proud of what he's
Speaker 2: been able to do.
Speaker 3: Me too. And so jo Don was then talking about
Speaker 3: his sobriety. What is your situation now? How long you've
Speaker 3: been sober?
Speaker 1: Three years? And it's kind of crazy.
Speaker 8: For my birthday, September thirteen is my actual sober date
Speaker 8: as well, So we got three years and it's it's different.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that.
Speaker 8: Grateful to be sober today and present, and like I
Speaker 8: never dreamed that was possible, and I wouldn't have been
Speaker 8: able to do that without this time off. I mean
Speaker 8: this past five years, I've just you know, I've needed
Speaker 8: it for a long time and it was just finally
Speaker 8: time and some really great friends in Nashville got me
Speaker 8: the help I needed and I'm forever grateful.
Speaker 3: I'm super happy there together. I'm super happy. Joe Don
Speaker 3: is at a very a healthy place. It's great. I'm
Speaker 3: in a great mood. I hope you go listen to
Speaker 3: the podcast search for the Bobby Bone Show. We did
Speaker 3: over a half hour with them. Really cool. There was
Speaker 3: a story about a husband and he says he's done
Speaker 3: because after his wife had a baby, she wanted it
Speaker 3: a push present and then a very expensive push present.
Speaker 3: And then the concept of push presence comes up, and
Speaker 3: I'm all for it, but that's not something I think
Speaker 3: that you are legally bound to receive a push presidence. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so yeah, you push out. And then I think it's
Speaker 3: just something that our cultured. When social media happened, it
Speaker 3: was all the post stuff. It's like, you got a
Speaker 3: push present. Let me read you the story, Amy, I
Speaker 3: watch your thoughts. Then a man said his pregnant wife
Speaker 3: had been influenced by social media. He claimed the materialistic
Speaker 3: part of her, what she didn't say all of her
Speaker 3: is that at all, said that he needed to give
Speaker 3: her diamonds. Then a man said his pregnant wife was
Speaker 3: influenced because a knew a woman that she saw got
Speaker 3: a new car and a house after giving birth. Oh wow,
Speaker 3: which then let her down the rabbit hole looking up
Speaker 3: push presents what other people got, and so then she
Speaker 3: wants diamonds for a push president.
Speaker 6: Your thoughts on a push present?
Speaker 4: First, Well, I don't know what it's like to push
Speaker 4: out a baby, because I would love the chance to
Speaker 4: do it, but I haven't been able to get pregnant,
Speaker 4: so I know that it is painful and it's a
Speaker 4: lot on your body, and so I think it is
Speaker 4: nice to be shown, Hey, I appreciate what you've done,
Speaker 4: because men y'all don't really have to deal with a
Speaker 4: lot of that. But I think social media has made
Speaker 4: it far worse. I don't know that I would require
Speaker 4: a push present, And I think if we were to
Speaker 4: want everything that everybody else has and that they're showing
Speaker 4: on social media, we'd be in.
Speaker 3: A lot of trouble.
Speaker 6: A push present is just made up.
Speaker 3: Yes, And I think if you want to get to
Speaker 3: watch something for anything, it's awesome, and a baby great,
Speaker 3: Yeah for showing you extra life.
Speaker 6: Great for it.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter for no reason at all. Great, but
Speaker 3: nobody is owed an I would think the baby is
Speaker 3: the push is the president.
Speaker 6: Presents usually don't exhaust you.
Speaker 3: Is the present. I am not anti push president.
Speaker 6: Oh, I am anti the expectation who have a put right.
Speaker 3: I'm not anti a quote baby moon, but I'm not
Speaker 3: You don't absolutely get a baby moon because other people
Speaker 3: on social media were getting it right, and so I
Speaker 3: think some people see it for so long they think
Speaker 3: it's just a normal part of culture. I think Amy,
Speaker 3: we felt similar about it, lunchbox all. I don't know
Speaker 3: that you do not feel similar.
Speaker 6: That was bad.
Speaker 5: The push President is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.
Speaker 5: You just because you are pushing a baby out of
Speaker 5: your body doesn't mean you're rewarded.
Speaker 13: You're rewarded with that human life that you created. Right,
Speaker 13: so you both get it, great congratulations. You don't get
Speaker 13: anything for pushing the baby out of your body. You
Speaker 13: wanted to get pregnant. You wanted to have a child
Speaker 13: baby if you want to, right, that's how it has
Speaker 13: to happen. So you shouldn't be rewarded for doing something
Speaker 13: you wanted to do. You partook in this exercise that
Speaker 13: created a baby, so I'm not going to reward you
Speaker 13: at the end of that term with another present.
Speaker 3: That is the stupidest thing.
Speaker 6: So, but are you against Okay, I'm against.
Speaker 3: I'm against the expectation without there being an advanced talk
Speaker 3: of it. If someone wants to do that, say, hey,
Speaker 3: you went through a life, I'm gonna get that. But
Speaker 3: I'm against somebody just going on, wat have babies? I
Speaker 3: expect this, right, That's what I'm against.
Speaker 4: I saw on social media this one girl got a
Speaker 4: diamond and now I won't want settlers?
Speaker 1: So dumb?
Speaker 3: Are you know they're so dumb? Are you against them
Speaker 3: getting one at all? Or the expectation at all? So
Speaker 3: you don't even even if she didn't ask for one,
Speaker 3: but he got her one, You're like, that's stupid, that's stupid.
Speaker 13: Like why are you getting Like are you there? Do
Speaker 13: you get a push present too because you sit there?
Speaker 13: Or a hand present because you held her hand?
Speaker 6: What about if I just went number two.
Speaker 13: Yeah, scuba of a sect to be present.
Speaker 3: I mean that'd be a cut gift. I mean issues
Speaker 3: that women.
Speaker 5: It's the stupidest thing our society has started adopting, and
Speaker 5: then it needs to go away.
Speaker 3: But we haven't started right, like balance's day.
Speaker 6: That's correct.
Speaker 3: That that, But again, I mean everything, everything is just
Speaker 3: something with a meaning assigned to it. Everything given your name,
Speaker 3: it's just some sounds we put together. We've asigned it too.
