Speaker 1: It's the best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 1: We had Craig Morgan on the show this week, and
Speaker 1: if you listened to the bits with Lunchbox, then you
Speaker 1: heard that he was just a phone call. He wasn't
Speaker 1: actually in the studio. But that's okay, because every time
Speaker 1: Craig Morgan comes on the show, he is hilarious. He's
Speaker 1: such a good dude. And Bobby asked him what he
Speaker 1: loves about every day of the week, you know, because
Speaker 1: his song. That's what I love about Sunday's super fun moment.
Speaker 1: You just don't want to miss anything from this interview,
Speaker 1: because there was also kind of a prank that happened
Speaker 1: with the rest of the show that we never let
Speaker 1: Craig Morgan in on. So here you go number six,
Speaker 1: the Friday morning conversation with Morgan. There he is right
Speaker 1: now on the phone. And I tell you, Craig, I
Speaker 1: saw that you announced all these concert dates and it
Speaker 1: made me think I haven't talked to Craig and probably
Speaker 1: a few months. So one, I wanted to get you
Speaker 1: on the show because I just love you so much
Speaker 1: and talk about your tour. And then two, I just
Speaker 1: as I was thinking about you last night, I'd have
Speaker 1: a lot of questions that I've never asked you. So
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Welcome to the show, my friend,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Bud, thanks for having me back. Where are
Speaker 1: you now? All? I'm a shouting dickon Tennessee right now?
Speaker 1: Buying tomato plants? Buying tomato plants for what for your house? Here? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So you're not at what's the deal on you here
Speaker 1: versus Alaska? Oh? That's you go to Alaska in the winter.
Speaker 1: I think it would be the opposite. Yeah, most people
Speaker 1: think that. Yeah, we spend our we spend our summers
Speaker 1: down near Florida, we have placed down there, and then
Speaker 1: we spend our winners over in Alaska. I feel like
Speaker 1: I would run from Alaska in the winter. Okay, So
Speaker 1: here we go, Craig. Before we get to the tour
Speaker 1: and the meat and potatoes of this interview, I have
Speaker 1: a few questions that I was thinking about because you
Speaker 1: at one time, we're a police officer, and I wonder
Speaker 1: if did you ever sing in your uniform with the
Speaker 1: badge on? Oh yeah, I probably saying to myself a lot.
Speaker 1: Do you think that you could have been the singing
Speaker 1: like the singing sheriff like on TikTok if that would
Speaker 1: have happened twenty five years later? If maybe you're cragged
Speaker 1: the singing sheriff and that's how you got your deal,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no. I would just too focused on
Speaker 1: on doing that job. You know. It only when I
Speaker 1: was riding around by myself or park somewhere, maybe listening
Speaker 1: to something sing along with the radio, did I sang? Otherwise?
Speaker 1: I was focused on such a word for awareness. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know you say that, but what about did you
Speaker 1: have to get pepper sprayed to be a cop? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's your memories with that? I'd rather be tasted three
Speaker 1: times as opposed to have to do pepper spray one.
Speaker 1: It's that bad. Why, it's just brutal, man. It takes forever.
Speaker 1: You know, the tasting's over pretty quick. It hurts really
Speaker 1: bad initially, put you to your knees and you know.
Speaker 1: But but the spray stays with you for some time. Well,
Speaker 1: I thought I would rather be sprayed than Ta's, but
Speaker 1: I guess now I'll choose the other option. All right,
Speaker 1: bring it in. We're go doing on the phone now.
Speaker 1: He's gonna listen in. Craig Morgan's on with us right now.
Speaker 1: The tour is happening. Tickets at craigmorgan dot com. You're
Speaker 1: gonna go October nineteenth all the way through the middle
Speaker 1: of November. When you go ahead and do this tour, Like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing all the hits, Craig, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be honest, I'm not doing them all. There's a few
Speaker 1: that we don't do because I ought to do some
Speaker 1: of the new stuff, new material, and we have fun
Speaker 1: with it. You know we might do a cover too.
Speaker 1: I just want anybody to come enjoy the show. Now,
Speaker 1: having said that, it's fare in a place and you
Speaker 1: know we're good on time, and someone yells out a
Speaker 1: particular song. The guys aren't prepared to play all the hits.
Speaker 1: In fact, they're probably more prepared than I am. I
Speaker 1: don't remember all the words. Sometimes, Well, you play that's
Speaker 1: what I love about Sunday though, Oh for sure, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's all I really wanted to know. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to ask it in a nice way, because if I
Speaker 1: came to your show and you didn't play that's what
Speaker 1: I love about Sunday, I might walk out right. I agree, Hey,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. If I went to a show, uh,
Speaker 1: and and the ticket ars didn't sing a big fat
Speaker 1: hit that they had, I don't know that. I wish
Speaker 1: I'd be kind of ticked off. So the problem is,
Speaker 1: you know, I had some songs that were hits that
Speaker 1: we're just kind of like, so so hit, that's so
Speaker 1: so hit was really important to someone coming. And so
Speaker 1: I've gotten text you know, I can't believe you didn't
Speaker 1: do whatever. You know, I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, we
Speaker 1: want to hit some much. So what about International Harvester?
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure? Okay, good, all right, we're good. Then
Speaker 1: I want to ask for a refund. We're all good, Mike.

Speaker 1: on which I ask him, Hey, Craig, so sorry, Hi,
Speaker 1: how are you feeling right now? I feel great? There
Speaker 1: you go. If you're referring to the tour, I'm excited
Speaker 1: about it. And I started to get out there in
Speaker 1: place down of this new music, one of which is
Speaker 1: the new song that you guys just played, some other
Speaker 1: new things. I got something I just wrote I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be doing out there that ain't even on I mean,
Speaker 1: the label don't even have a we don't have a demo,
Speaker 1: much less an album cut on it. I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to scid it. I liked it. Craig's like, breaking stuff. Now,
Speaker 1: let's just make one up right now and sing it.
Speaker 1: He's like, well, do you one Um, okay, Amy, that's
Speaker 1: a great question, pretty generic. Yeah, do you have another one?
Speaker 1: I do? Okay, here we go. What did you eat
Speaker 1: for breakfast? Break ups of coffee. That's it. That's my breakfast.
Speaker 1: I generally don't eat breakfast. Well, they say it's the
Speaker 1: most important meal of the day. But I'm for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go over to Eddie, our video producer, Eddie Craig
Speaker 1: Morgan's on what would you like to ask him now?
Speaker 1: Why I don't eat breakfast because I don't need the
Speaker 1: I don't need it for fuel. See, for me, I
Speaker 1: approached food a lot different than most people. A lot
Speaker 1: of people approach food as a an experience and so
Speaker 1: on and so forth. For me, food is fuel. That's it.
Speaker 1: Not to say that I don't enjoy my steak on
Speaker 1: on Tuesday night. Tuesday night, obviously, but but I'm I'm
Speaker 1: a car guy. I kind of watched My Car's pretty close,
Speaker 1: and I've learned that I don't really need as much
Speaker 1: as my mind once told me. I did lunchbox. One
Speaker 1: final question for Craig Morgan. I want to ask him
Speaker 1: about this TV show he did, But go ahead, what
Speaker 1: you're watching? I'm hooked on this Netflix making Anna or
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, yeah, yes, I love it. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty proached on that. I know it's like it's the
Speaker 1: weirdest thing, but I'm enjoying that show quite a bit. Hey,
Speaker 1: tell us about this show that you did where you
Speaker 1: were out in the jungles and Panama, Like, how hard
Speaker 1: was this show? Really? You've done it all? How hard
Speaker 1: was it for you? What was that experience like beyond
Speaker 1: the Edge? Yeah, a show. I mean, I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 1: For me, it wasn't that difficult. It's like you said,
Speaker 1: I've been there, have done that, and still do. In fact,
Speaker 1: when we talked about it, you know, I go to
Speaker 1: Alaska and live off the grid for two or thretty month.
Speaker 1: Now I am in a cabin and I do have
Speaker 1: a lot of luxuries there. Because I do off grid living,
Speaker 1: not survival living, then there's a difference. But this is
Speaker 1: more of a survival thing. But it was something I
Speaker 1: was well prepared for. I've been in tantamall before. I'm
Speaker 1: well aware of the food resources that are available. I'm
Speaker 1: well aware of all of the things that want to
Speaker 1: bite you, staying you eat you. So I had a
Speaker 1: lot of working knowledge, but For me, it was a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. It's like taking a survival vacation. But
Speaker 1: I can't say the same for everyone else. And not
Speaker 1: the sea weren't any more capable. They just had never
Speaker 1: experienced that. I mean, you know, so it was And
Speaker 1: on top of that, it was like running a triangle
Speaker 1: on every day and then going back and trying to
Speaker 1: find food and water and do all the things that
Speaker 1: you had to do to get through the day. Lunchbucks.
Speaker 1: One final question for Craig Morgan. Favorite city. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: this is tough. I'm gonna have to say. Not North Dakota. Hey,
Speaker 1: I loved it there, super nice people. It's cold cold.
Speaker 1: I don't like cold. Eddie. One final question for Craig Morgan.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, before we go where he said mine? Not
Speaker 1: North Dakota. Yeah, yeah, Eddie doesn't listen. All right, listen
Speaker 1: there is I'm gonna say it one more time, Craig Morgan.
Speaker 1: He is out, he is doing shows. I hope you
Speaker 1: guys go And if you see him on a Saturday night,
Speaker 1: know that he has ridden his bike fifty miles and
Speaker 1: also done a run before that show. And if you
Speaker 1: happen to run him to him on a Tuesday afternoon.
Speaker 1: Just know he's gonna beat in stake later that night.
Speaker 1: I feel like we've learned so much about him, So
Speaker 1: go to Craigmorgan dot com to get tickets. Is there
Speaker 1: anything that I missed? I mean, i'd also encourage you
Speaker 1: guys to read his new memoir that came out God,
Speaker 1: Family and Country that came out to Endo last year,
Speaker 1: like September October. So that's out. Oh, oh, it's this September. Oh.
Speaker 1: I was wondering watch that because I did it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm not a good friend. So
Speaker 1: it's this September. You get a book. Okay, good, I
Speaker 1: get it. I thought I missed it and I was
Speaker 1: just all right. Last thing I remember now what triggered
Speaker 1: this call. I saw you were doing your tour and
Speaker 1: long ago I said, hey, Craig, we really need a
Speaker 1: tor t shirt. And Craig promised me a Torti shirt.
Speaker 1: And you know who doesn't have a Torti shirt from
Speaker 1: Craig Morgan come home? You know who still doesn't have it? Me?
Speaker 1: That's right, he asked him. Who. That's all. That's all
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm still shirt. Let's Craig, I had to
Speaker 1: give you one of the older ones. That's yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're hard to find. Were these guys, all of my guys.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna believe this because of course you asked
Speaker 1: this question. Now, they have literally been on Etchy and
Speaker 1: everywhere trying to buy old shirts. So you're saying they've
Speaker 1: been looking for me one or looking for you to
Speaker 1: have old ones, looking for one for your why, that's right,
Speaker 1: that's what it's for. Yes, Okay, well, I mean I
Speaker 1: can do that. I go to Eddie and try to
Speaker 1: find one. Okay, no, no, no no, I got your
Speaker 1: T shirt coming and we'll make sure you get one

Speaker 1: We can all wait to see you in town here,
Speaker 1: but Craig Morgan is all over you, guys. Go to
Speaker 1: Craigmorgan dot com. The book comes out in September, which
Speaker 1: I was very confused. Why I thought it was this
Speaker 1: past September And I thought Craig and I weren't here
Speaker 1: as close because he never sent me a book other
Speaker 1: than that. Hey man, good luck with those tomato plants.
Speaker 1: And you know I love you and I'll see you soon.
Speaker 1: Thanks you by so forward to seeing you all right,
Speaker 1: Craig Morgan, everybody, it's the best bits of the week
Speaker 1: with Morgan. Number two this was a hot topic and
Speaker 1: on number five Eddie heard his kids using a word
Speaker 1: and he was like, no, you can't use that in
Speaker 1: this house. That's not okay. And pretty much the entire
Speaker 1: show did not agree with what he thought, but a
Speaker 1: lot of our listeners did. So listen for yourself in
Speaker 1: case you missed this bit from the week and tell
Speaker 1: us your thoughts. Maybe you're on Eddie's team, or maybe
Speaker 1: you're on the rest of the studios team. Number five, okay,
Speaker 1: Eddie cottage boys saying something inappropriate. By the way, for
Speaker 1: our audience, how old are your boys? So I have
Speaker 1: a thirteen year old, I have an eight year old,
Speaker 1: a seven year old and a three year old. And
Speaker 1: which of those four? What are you saying this? These
Speaker 1: are the two middle boys, seven and eight, and they're
Speaker 1: in their bedroom like first second grade, yes, first exactly ahead,
Speaker 1: And I'm walking in by the room and I hear, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're talking about this girl, right, and one of them goes, dude,
Speaker 1: she's so hot, bro, and I go, what did I
Speaker 1: just hear? They're seven and eight years old? So I
Speaker 1: go in, I'm like, what are you guys talking about? Oh,
Speaker 1: we're just talking about you know, so and so and
Speaker 1: so and so thinks she's she's pretty hot. I don't
Speaker 1: think she's that hot, but she thinks she's that hot.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, guys, let's let's not do that. Like,
Speaker 1: we're not the word hot, let's not use the word
Speaker 1: hot when you're talking about someone's physical But well, if
Speaker 1: you can use any word to talk about some physical appearance, pretty,
Speaker 1: she's pretty. She's not kidding. But your argument's not the same.
Speaker 1: What do you mean if you're gonna say, let's not
Speaker 1: talk about someone's physical appearance, No, not a should use
Speaker 1: the word hot. Okay, So I'm just making sure we're
Speaker 1: on that, just so you can't go. I told him
Speaker 1: we shouldn't judge someone by their physical I didn't say
Speaker 1: that perfect just saying the word hot. Said guys, you're
Speaker 1: you're too young to say like someone's hot or not.
Speaker 1: You don't even know what hot means. Now, I think, Eddie,
Speaker 1: I think it's not apparent, but I think it's a
Speaker 1: bit absurd. That's why why doted. You guys are way
Speaker 1: into this. Go now, guys, don't you me lunchbox? Like,
Speaker 1: we know what hot is. We say hot, Hey, dude,
Speaker 1: she's pretty hot, right, We've said it for years. But
Speaker 1: a seven and eight year old I don't think they
Speaker 1: even know what that means. And if they heard them
Speaker 1: saying calling the girl hot, like if the girl heard that,
Speaker 1: that would get offended, like what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: That's that's very rude. I think if you're walking while
Speaker 1: walking by and they were like, man, she's sexy, that's
Speaker 1: probably too much for seven or eight year old. Or
Speaker 1: if you're eight year old's like that girl's bone horrific,
Speaker 1: you'd be like sun, well yes, I would have a
Speaker 1: lecture there too. I think those are probably the levels.
Speaker 1: Well where's hot? In that level? Hot? It is fun,
Speaker 1: the nicest thing you can say. Let's go to Amy, Amy, Amy,
Speaker 1: think about this lunchbox and I obviously we're dudes. They're
Speaker 1: like hot, it's easy, it's not offensive. That's what we think.
Speaker 1: Seven and eight year old can they say hot? I
Speaker 1: don't understand the issue here, and I feel like he
Speaker 1: made it a bigger deal. And now I my son
Speaker 1: is Levin. But even back when he was seven, if
Speaker 1: he was like, oh, jee's hot, I don't know that
Speaker 1: I would really have a long lecture about it. If
Speaker 1: you wanted to have a lecture about them talking about
Speaker 1: someone physically respecting, yes, I think that's but I wanted
Speaker 1: to make sure no. That's why I made sure you
Speaker 1: weren't going to turn it into this. I didn't say,
Speaker 1: as you said, you can say pretty, but you can't
Speaker 1: say hi. Well, yeah, I mean it's normal in the narrative.
Speaker 1: I think someone is pretty or not. It's relative, but
Speaker 1: it's pretty not the same thing. It's not like I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just saying. It's semantics a word. You are the
Speaker 1: most overprotective, overreactive parents. That is so insane, a reactive
Speaker 1: true goodness. That helicopter is just oh, Eddie just said
Speaker 1: we say we say all the time. We've been saying
Speaker 1: for years, girls are hot. So like, Eddie, where did
Speaker 1: they get it from? They probably got it from you. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I'm walking around my kids saying she's hot. I
Speaker 1: can't even stay that around my wife. She'd be like,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? No, I can't saying it
Speaker 1: for me. They got it. They got it from I
Speaker 1: don't think hot is in any way a bad thing
Speaker 1: to say if you're just judging it on the word
Speaker 1: that's seven years old. Correct. So they're walking around, bro,
Speaker 1: they're like, you know, drinking beer. It sounded like I
Speaker 1: was walking by a bar and I'm like, what is
Speaker 1: going on? And theirst thing they're saying is somebody's hot.
Speaker 1: I think you're doing pretty good. And are they walking around?
Speaker 1: They were in there the privacy of their room. Oh
Speaker 1: so whatever happens in there is cool. That's not what
Speaker 1: she's saying. Well, then what are you saying. I'm saying
Speaker 1: like you're acting like they're in public every day, like
Speaker 1: every woman that walks by they're like, hey, hottie, what
Speaker 1: would be different? It's different speak to say. It's a gateway.
Speaker 1: You start in the room saying someone's hot, and then
Speaker 1: next thing you know, you're at the mall doing it.
Speaker 1: You're dropping your kids off. The next couple, the foot
Speaker 1: locker who feels sorry for Eddie's kids. They're cool, they're good.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Eddie's a good dad, but I
Speaker 1: just don't know that I wouldn't realize that. There was
Speaker 1: no way I was gonna walk by that room and
Speaker 1: just let that happen. I had to say something, how
Speaker 1: they're smoking cigarettes? Yes, dude, you had like they're drinking
Speaker 1: from the bottle. Hey, if I want mine, their smoking cigarettes?
Speaker 1: Trouble grounded for life. Yeah, well yeah, we agree with
Speaker 1: you on that one. But hot, Yeah okay, so let's
Speaker 1: vote here, everybody, everybody phone, you're on this show. Does
Speaker 1: anyone side with Eddie that a seven or eight year
Speaker 1: old shouldn't say that someone privately to their brother brother
Speaker 1: Bro's hot is hot? Does anyone agree with Eddie? Wow? Scooba, No,
Speaker 1: Mike's even yeah, he said no, not at all. Everyone
Speaker 1: feels is ridiculous if you do say I wow, it's everyone. Yeah, Morgan,
Speaker 1: yeah that's me too. Sorry Eddie. Now your kids, you know,
Speaker 1: your chilly, your beans. It didn't feel right, so I
Speaker 1: felt like I need to say something. But you brought
Speaker 1: it up and said, hey, I said this is and
Speaker 1: we all think that you are inappropriate your kids. Oh
Speaker 1: I'm the inappropriate. I think you're inappropriate. All right, thanks, guys,
Speaker 1: you want to hear someone who agrees with you, though,
Speaker 1: I don't want you to fill alone. I'm sure that's
Speaker 1: not the only caller. Well it is, but I saved
Speaker 1: them here so you could have a team in an ally.
Speaker 1: All right, this is Brittany in Lubbock, Texas. Right, if
Speaker 1: you could put her on. Brittany, good morning, Thank you
Speaker 1: for calling. Good morning. How are you guys? We're pretty good?
Speaker 1: What do you think about this? I agree with Eddie.
Speaker 1: I completely agree with him. I've got a seven year
Speaker 1: old daughter, and then I've got two nieces eight and six.
Speaker 1: And what's funny is that knocked out long ago my
Speaker 1: oldest niece. They were in, all three of them were
Speaker 1: in the room, and she said this boy was hot,
Speaker 1: and I thought the exact same thing. I was like,
Speaker 1: that is not appropriate for y'all to say. I mean, older,
Speaker 1: it's not so bad, but just coming out of your
Speaker 1: little eight year old mouth, it just doesn't it doesn't
Speaker 1: sound okay. I'm sure it seems weird. Yeah, I'm very weird.
Speaker 1: It is just talking like an adult and you're a
Speaker 1: parent and your rules and you're a good parent and
Speaker 1: everybody out there. This is not parent shaming. This is
Speaker 1: just Eddie asking if we think he's crazy and that
Speaker 1: you guys. Answer is yes, I think hot's fine as
Speaker 1: long as they're not walking around and going, hey, lady,
Speaker 1: what's up hot stuff? Hey, Well, after that lecture, they're
Speaker 1: definitely not gonna be walking around saying that stuff. They
Speaker 1: don't walk around at all. They're just in the room
Speaker 1: walking around. Thank you very much, Brittany. We appreciate that.
Speaker 1: I hope you have an awesome day, and thank you
Speaker 1: for lending us your perspective. Okay, y'all have a good one,
Speaker 1: all right. Glad Eddie could have a teammate. She sounds smart.
Speaker 1: I'll give you her number. Focus Crew support that. It's
Speaker 1: the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan number two.
Speaker 1: We heard finally the breakdown lunchboxes top ten cringeworthy moments
Speaker 1: from the last several years, and if you didn't cringe
Speaker 1: when you originally heard them, you may just cringe listening
Speaker 1: to the top ten. It was a great time reliving
Speaker 1: some of these moments, and also on the Best Bits
Speaker 1: Part one, Lunchbox said he has no regrets and he
Speaker 1: doesn't understand why anybody felt cringey about these things, So
Speaker 1: definitely listen right now to relive all of them, especially
Speaker 1: in case you've never heard them before. So here is
Speaker 1: lunchboxes Top ten cringeworthy moments, number four. Here we go
Speaker 1: Lunchboxes ten cringiest moments of the last five years, as
Speaker 1: compiled by us Lunchbox and I know the list number
Speaker 1: ten when Lunchbox revealed his mom had to give him
Speaker 1: a naked sponge bath after having surgery. Yes, but you're
Speaker 1: an adult man. As a kid, I get it. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm an adult man, but I can't. I had surgery
Speaker 1: on my ankles, so I had to lay in the
Speaker 1: bathtub and I could not. Yes, I had to lay
Speaker 1: in the bathtub, and I had to put my foot
Speaker 1: out of the bathtub so I couldn't wash all the
Speaker 1: way down my legs in everything. No, so I had
Speaker 1: my mom do it for me. No, she seen me.
Speaker 1: N you didn't have to be naked, man, But your
Speaker 1: arms weren't broken. It was your yeah, foot like you
Speaker 1: had to hang your foot like you can bathe yourself.
Speaker 1: Nothing about this make sense. But do you know how
Speaker 1: far the deep the bathtub is and you put your
Speaker 1: foot up and then by that point you your way
Speaker 1: up here and your foot's way above your head. The
Speaker 1: only point is your mom did not have to see you. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: at how would I be clean? Okay? Okay? Lunchboxes ten
Speaker 1: cringiest moments when he called the cops on his neighbors
Speaker 1: graduation party. Oh yeah, no, I called the cops on
Speaker 1: their graduation party because we were during the pandemic height
Speaker 1: of COVID and it said you were not allowed to
Speaker 1: have a gathering of more than ten people, and they
Speaker 1: had at least thirty to forty. But what was that
Speaker 1: doing to hurt you? Yeah? And what was that doing
Speaker 1: for you? They weren't following the rules. We were trying
Speaker 1: to get out of the pandemic. We were trying to
Speaker 1: follow the rules so COVID would not spread, and they
Speaker 1: were choosing to ignore the rules. And look, the longer
Speaker 1: they didn't follow the rules, the longer I had to
Speaker 1: be in lockdown. And I didn't want to be in
Speaker 1: lockdown anymore. So you think you calling and splitting up
Speaker 1: that graduation party? Yes, breaks up the super Spreader event.
Speaker 1: That one was pretty crazy when he admitted he had
Speaker 1: called the cops. Number eight and I have a clip
Speaker 1: for this one. The time Lunchbox attempted stand up comedy.
Speaker 1: It all started during a post show where we brought
Speaker 1: up the topic of me doing shows and Mike d
Speaker 1: doing shows, and Lunchbox claimed he could do stand up
Speaker 1: because it was so easy. So Mike took him to
Speaker 1: an open mic night and it was so much cursing
Speaker 1: during the four minutes set, we couldn't play most of it.
Speaker 1: But here is a gap of the of the of
Speaker 1: the but they're writing down here as a bomb. Here
Speaker 1: we go. And I always say, you never know who
Speaker 1: you're sleeping next to, So I kind of hadn't ins
Speaker 1: in like this with my wife a little bit ago.
Speaker 1: When you know, I want to go up the next morning,
Speaker 1: I roll over, I said, sleeping next Tony had new idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's a bad one. Yeah, they seem to like it. Really,
Speaker 1: just said, I think they were liking two things. I
Speaker 1: think they were liking the awkward and a seven until
Speaker 1: you just called your wife for the sake of a joke. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's where you're doing comedy, guys. It doesn't matter. Nothing's
Speaker 1: off limits. What is wrong with that? Nothing, nothing's good.
Speaker 1: It's a funny joke. Crowd liked him Number seven lunch Bikes,
Speaker 1: claiming he was so famous, and then going up to

Speaker 1: that silence is everyone looking confused like who is this guy?
Speaker 1: And at number six lunchbox creeping out Gwen Stefani and
Speaker 1: he was told don't touch her. Man. I saw her
Speaker 1: at the hotel in Vegas, the Cosmopolitan. She was trying
Speaker 1: to leave out the front doors, and I ran up, quinn, quinn,
Speaker 1: Can I get a picture? Can I get a picture?
Speaker 1: And she turns around. She's like fine. I go to
Speaker 1: put my arm around her and she goes, no touching,
Speaker 1: And so I had to do the two thumbs up
Speaker 1: in front of her, like hey hi. And it was
Speaker 1: very awkward on her part. I agree awkward. I wasn't
Speaker 1: cringeing on my part. How is it cringe? Like that's
Speaker 1: cringe on her. She should be ashamed of herself, not me.
Speaker 1: You try to get you try to just throw your
Speaker 1: arm around you what do you do when you're in
Speaker 1: a picture with a sleberty. You can put your arm
Speaker 1: around him. You don't just stand there with your hands
Speaker 1: by your side. You put your arm around them. That's
Speaker 1: what you do. Did she agreed to the picture already? Yeah?
Speaker 1: She was like sure, And she turned around and I
Speaker 1: go to put my arm around her and around her
Speaker 1: waist or shoulder, shoulder, and they said no touching. And
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, too, thumb club. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: cringe on her. That's all on her. That's nothing on me.
Speaker 1: That's just me being excited to see someone famous in
Speaker 1: the public. And maybe the story is just cringe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I did. I was running after her with
Speaker 1: my suitcase. Okay, See it always jumps out at the end.
Speaker 1: What's so cringey about it? Like she had a couple
Speaker 1: of bodyguards and I had my suitcase, and I was.
Speaker 1: I was in the check in line at the hotel
Speaker 1: and I saw her and I was like, I jetted
Speaker 1: out of the check in line. I was I was
Speaker 1: gonna get that picture. The top five coming up in
Speaker 1: the next second. Okay, I'm not in Crimson. I mean,
Speaker 1: if those were in the bottom five, you have more
Speaker 1: like yo, yeah, and they get better two words Lauren
Speaker 1: and Lena, Oh, definitely. Number five happened on the show
Speaker 1: where Lunchbox is trying to interview a guy. Ferry had
Speaker 1: a chicken rest try and down. Goodness. This one just
Speaker 1: happened yesterday. Terribly awkward. To make sure you're listening to
Speaker 1: the Bobby Bow Show. I don't know who you are.
Speaker 1: You are, I'll tell you, Lunchbox matter legit. If you
Speaker 1: grill about all this, I'm gonna find you. That felt
Speaker 1: so at that beginning of that h he's looking around,
Speaker 1: He's like, can someone explain to me who this guy is?
Speaker 1: I was tapping him on his shoulder, trying to get
Speaker 1: that he loves touching boy, he loves touching people. Number
Speaker 1: four when he kept Dirk spent Ley's medallion after the
Speaker 1: CMA dinner. This is horrible. This is horrible, horrible. So
Speaker 1: would you like to tell the story? Amy? Okay, So yeah,
Speaker 1: we were at this really really fancy CMA dinner thing
Speaker 1: for people that have won the CMA Award. Quite honestly,
Speaker 1: we didn't belong there, you know, but I guess we
Speaker 1: won radio stuff. So anyway, we're there and like somehow jokingly,
Speaker 1: Lunchbox gets dirksdall and Dirk's is fully expecting to get
Speaker 1: it back, but lunch Box straight up keeps it. And
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a very special thing for any artist,
Speaker 1: and of course they want it, and Lunchbox like thinks
Speaker 1: that Dirks really gave it to home. Listen, let me
Speaker 1: tell you how I went down. This how went down.
Speaker 1: You go to the CMA dinner, right, and everybody that
Speaker 1: is nominated gets a medallion. Well, we didn't get a medallion,
Speaker 1: even though we were nominated. So I thought that was weird,
Speaker 1: and so I was just talking to Dirks. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: we were nominated, we didn't even get a medallion. He
Speaker 1: goes here, you can have mine, and he put it
Speaker 1: around my neck and walked away. Kitty, there was a joke. Really, then,
Speaker 1: why didn't he come back and get it. Why did
Speaker 1: he gives you left to take it home? No, because
Speaker 1: he put it around my neck and walked away. I
Speaker 1: didn't walk away. You don't think before you left to
Speaker 1: go home, he'd been like, dude, here's your medallion back. Hey,
Speaker 1: he knew where I was, He knew I was there.
Speaker 1: If he wanted it, he couldn't come and got it.
Speaker 1: And how long did you keep it? Like three weeks?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, and Jill Bobby made me give it back,
Speaker 1: like I don't understand. When somebody show you something, you
Speaker 1: take it. And it was cool to have Dirk Spentley's medallion,
Speaker 1: like you know where that medallion is right now? He
Speaker 1: has no idea either exactly, so I would have had
Speaker 1: that hanging in the wall, like, hey, Dark's gave that
Speaker 1: to me. Number three lunchbox trying to sell a picture
Speaker 1: of Sam Hunt and his wife. Oh, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: why is that Cringewar's terrible that I had to buy
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't go to timz that. No, No, that's
Speaker 1: like the picture that really that's really more valuable now
Speaker 1: because it's really like the first picture of them reconciling
Speaker 1: getting back together. What was cringeier him trying to sell
Speaker 1: it or the fact that he took He hid in
Speaker 1: a car and took the picture. Oh that's pretty even.
Speaker 1: I mean I pulled up at a four way stop.
Speaker 1: I was going to pick up some lunch and they
Speaker 1: just happened to walk right in front of my car,
Speaker 1: and I was like, what in the world so I
Speaker 1: had to pay the money that tim Z was going
Speaker 1: to pay to get the picture plus a dollar plus
Speaker 1: a dollar, so he wouldn't sell the picture. Man, I
Speaker 1: still think about that. I mean, he really was on
Speaker 1: I was it two ch thank you Lunchboxes beef with
Speaker 1: Chris Jansen about trying to take his whole family to
Speaker 1: an industry event. Somebody at Chris's label said no, that's
Speaker 1: too many people. So then Lunchbox got on what you
Speaker 1: got on social media? I got on No, I came
Speaker 1: on here and said there's a beef. I told you, Hey, listen,
Speaker 1: Chris Jensen didn't allow my family when his album title
Speaker 1: is all in, And I said, obviously that's not accurate
Speaker 1: because not everybody was welcome all into his party. It
Speaker 1: was only some people got into his party. Then he
Speaker 1: on social media, so I give you a gift. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He he went on there said my bad, we messed up.
Speaker 1: I know we were bad. Where we want to correct
Speaker 1: this and they gave me a He never said any
Speaker 1: of that. That's what he heard though. That's basically what

Speaker 1: Fringy number one lunchbox posting pictures of Lauren at Chipotle.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I was eating lunch at Chipotle and I
Speaker 1: was sitting there and all of a sudden, Laura Lena
Speaker 1: walks in. I'm like, man, this is great. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: see what she does. And she comes in by herself,
Speaker 1: and she orders, and she sits down, she starts eating
Speaker 1: by herself. Then she goes outside, takes a phone call,
Speaker 1: comes back, and her jour and all all this. Basically,
Speaker 1: He's like, she's at a restaurant. He's like Ken and
Speaker 1: her friend came and joined her, and then Lauren Lena
Speaker 1: went to get some a refill on a water or whatever,
Speaker 1: and she spilled it all over the floor and she
Speaker 1: kept saying, oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Let
Speaker 1: me clean that up for you. And they had to
Speaker 1: clean it up, and I snapped a couple of photos
Speaker 1: of her at Chipotle. Wasn't it wasn't just about you
Speaker 1: taking a couple of pictures of her. It was that
Speaker 1: they were all from the back. Yeah, well yeah she was.
Speaker 1: She was sitting with her back to me, but you
Speaker 1: know her exactly. Man, it's off for the back and
Speaker 1: I think she was in yoga pants, and it just
Speaker 1: felt weird and everybody and it was like Papa Razzi
Speaker 1: a little ill. It wasn't like I was zoomed in
Speaker 1: on her backside. It was her whole body. It was
Speaker 1: just she happened to be and like her back happened
Speaker 1: to be to me. So you're not allowed to weird.
Speaker 1: I just want to bury the pictures. And then then
Speaker 1: everybody starts to come after him. Well, yeah, those people
Speaker 1: are idiots, isn't weird. I don't think that's cringing. You
Speaker 1: see a celebrity in public, you take a picture, even
Speaker 1: if it's the back of them, I mean they're walking away.
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to take a picture. Now, you know her?
Speaker 1: Is that the you know her? And it was her
Speaker 1: button yoga pan six feet away? What's crazy? He's disagreed
Speaker 1: with every single one on this list. So none of
Speaker 1: them are crenchy. I didn't find any of those cringing,
Speaker 1: all right, I mean I felt cringing for Gwin Stefani
Speaker 1: because that was her fault. Yeah, thank you for her, Well,
Speaker 1: thank you for doing all these non cringey things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I don't him. You guys came up with
Speaker 1: a weak list. Hey what chers Eddie, you have a
Speaker 1: favorite of all that? Well, I think number one is
Speaker 1: for sure my favorite on the list because it was
Speaker 1: so cringey. Yeah it was Lauren Lena. I was I
Speaker 1: was in another country working and we're going to the controversy. Dude,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it right now, being like, oh, why
Speaker 1: would he do something like that? I mean it was
Speaker 1: let me tell you, I got a text for umber.
Speaker 1: She goes, oh, that's really funny, and then like an
Speaker 1: hour later she goes, after thinking about it, I think
Speaker 1: you should take those down and never do that. Actually
Speaker 1: we didn't know you got the text bar Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I was like, well, that's weird someone but you know her,
Speaker 1: she has your number to text you. Wow, this cringe
Speaker 1: level just got hired. Did you take them down or
Speaker 1: did Morgan take it down? Well? I had to take
Speaker 1: them down. I mean I had some of my social
Speaker 1: media and I was like, you know, and there was
Speaker 1: other artists chiming in with their two cents and oh
Speaker 1: I hate how this makes me feel. Yeah, I see
Speaker 1: there would go. That's the clear winner. Thank you, and
Speaker 1: we'll pause the picture so you guys know it's the

Speaker 1: it's a long time. I really dialed in Eddie, you

Speaker 1: really tough because it's that big. I saw the lot.
Speaker 1: It's just out of nowhere, that's all. And you're like
Speaker 1: almost have a seizure when the song starts. I try
Speaker 1: to sing that once with the guys from Lanco at
Speaker 1: a Dirks show once and I did. Then I went huh,
Speaker 1: and I was like I can't do it. So I
Speaker 1: just I just mount let them do it. Yeah. Next
Speaker 1: up in nineteen ninety eight Garth Brooks disc box set.
Speaker 1: The limited series debuted in the Billboard Top two hundred's
Speaker 1: sold over three hundred and seventy two thousand copies. It
Speaker 1: had had this song here, Much Too Young and the
Speaker 1: Wild Lines Today. In two thousand and one, Tim McGraw
Speaker 1: received an honorary Doctorate of Humanities from the University of
Speaker 1: Louisiana Monroe. I felt that Tim McGraw and in two
Speaker 1: thousand and four Rascal Flats Mayberry very underrated Rascal Flat Solids.
Speaker 1: I think it's rated high. You probably wouldn't go top
Speaker 1: five if you're asked, But then when you hear it,
Speaker 1: you're like, that might need four or five. Where you
Speaker 1: play that again from the top right, the first part
Speaker 1: of that cold one, the Nana Nana. Well, so there
Speaker 1: you have it. That's a good throwback Thursday one day.
Speaker 1: It makes me want to go back to all of
Speaker 1: those times, including the Elvis one, like I experienced that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The trouble with that is like medicine, travelogy, internet, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, cars, no ac it's all that stuff. It
Speaker 1: makes me not want to go back. Yeah, so, but
Speaker 1: pretty cool, pretty cool. I've got William Julio. That was
Speaker 1: probably like a man that was probably like fjlbb REXA.
Speaker 1: You know there for sure, maybe bigger bones. I'm saying
Speaker 1: that's always everywhere, but every kind of station you put
Speaker 1: it on. Yeah, it was like the girls I've loved far.
Speaker 1: It was meant to be, it'll be, it'll be. Maybe

Speaker 1: the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 1: This segment was featured in Lunchbox's Top ten cringe Worthy Moments,

Speaker 1: it's more than it, and more than that, I should
Speaker 1: say but also he's in syndication and he's probably in
Speaker 1: my mass in the world. That's what I'm saying. So

Speaker 1: over social media about this interview. Everybody loved it. So
Speaker 1: many people said it's their favorite one that's ever been
Speaker 1: on the show, and I have to agree. It was
Speaker 1: one of the best that we've definitely had in here
Speaker 1: of someone who just wanted to share their story and
Speaker 1: talk about everything that had happened in their life and
Speaker 1: what they're doing now. His name's jelly Roll. You might
Speaker 1: have heard him as a hip hop artist or as
Speaker 1: a rock artist. He put out a country song. He's
Speaker 1: just doing so much stuff and he has a really
Speaker 1: really interesting story to tell and he told it all
Speaker 1: to Bobby And if you missed it at all, if
Speaker 1: you want to watch it, you can go to Bobby
Speaker 1: Bones dot com or watch it, but definitely listen right now.
Speaker 1: In case you missed it, here is jelly Roll Number one.
Speaker 1: I saw that you have posted announcement saying you're coming
Speaker 1: on the show and that The Rock had liked it. Yes,
Speaker 1: sir on your Instagram. Yes, how do you know the rock? Dude?
Speaker 1: It's kind of weird. So you know, the Rock has
Speaker 1: real Nashville root, like supernatural roots. So he was like,
Speaker 1: I think it went to mcgavock. So he just keeps
Speaker 1: his like finger on the pulse of Nashville, like he's
Speaker 1: just like engulfed in the culture. And I think like
Speaker 1: a song on my randomly came up on his plays,
Speaker 1: like the most random occurrence ever, and somebody reached out.
Speaker 1: I was like, Yo, the Rock's gonna post a saw
Speaker 1: a video with one of your songs. I was like,
Speaker 1: please don't play with me. It's like, I don't do
Speaker 1: that to me. It was like, I swear to guy.
Speaker 1: This was like four or five years six years ago,
Speaker 1: and he sure did. And ever since then we stayed
Speaker 1: in touch. Man. He was the first person to congratulate
Speaker 1: me whenever I got invited to the Grand Old Library
Speaker 1: and he congratulated you. How he sent me a voice
Speaker 1: He sends like the voice memos. That's like his thing.
Speaker 1: You know, He'll like, you got a voice memo from
Speaker 1: the Rock Yeah, yeah, for sure. I want to play it,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to be that guy. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean I said, I listened to it every now and
Speaker 1: then to put myself. It's like it's like my pre
Speaker 1: workout before I go get drunk, because I don't work out,
Speaker 1: so right before I go to a bar, I'll listen
Speaker 1: to like a voice memo from the Rocket Black. Let's
Speaker 1: go jelly rolls with let's talk about for the audience
Speaker 1: that hasn't come across your music yet or who you are, Like,
Speaker 1: what's up with the name jelly roll? So I'm obviously
Speaker 1: looked apart and my mother named me that whenever I
Speaker 1: was a little chubby kid, been fat in my whole life.
Speaker 1: And she tried to calling me jelly Roll when I
Speaker 1: was young, and I spent the next thirty years trying
Speaker 1: to grow into the name. I think I've done it,
Speaker 1: and you had just stuck. And then I had a
Speaker 1: guy in high school that jokingly called me jelly Roll.
Speaker 1: He didn't know that was my house name. And his
Speaker 1: name was one Arm Clay and you won't believe it,
Speaker 1: but he had one arm and one arm Clay was like,
Speaker 1: we should call you jelly Roll. I'm one arm Clay
Speaker 1: and you'll be jelly. I was like, my mama calls
Speaker 1: me jelly roll. And then once the high school starts
Speaker 1: calling you something, you know, that's that's the kid in caboodle.
Speaker 1: And so when did you start doing music? I started
Speaker 1: writing songs whenever I was like seven or eight. In
Speaker 1: the words of Brantley Gilbert, I didn't know I could sing,
Speaker 1: but I knew I could talk fast, So I wrote
Speaker 1: a lot of raps. What did it for me was
Speaker 1: my mother strove. First of all, my mother follows this
Speaker 1: show and she only follows like six people. And I
Speaker 1: don't even think I'm one. I think it's like my
Speaker 1: three aunts, some dude that she shouldn't be following that
Speaker 1: has a six pack in the Bobby Bones show. So
Speaker 1: if you want to put me on y'all's Instagram, that'll
Speaker 1: be fine. We'll put you up. But uh yeah, just
Speaker 1: kind of just kind of came that way. So I
Speaker 1: do want to play some of the song because it's
Speaker 1: such a good song. This is called Son of a Singer,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna play it for you now from Jelly
Speaker 1: Roller searching ways I can get I'm a battle to
Speaker 1: the if you have a ride beat song. So it's
Speaker 1: kind of a different approach from you from what I've heard,
Speaker 1: Like this is very emotional you're singing. It's I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a country song, Like, why create this song in
Speaker 1: this way? Well, I had a record. I've always wrote
Speaker 1: very cathartic music. My mother struggled with addictions and mental
Speaker 1: health issues when I was younger. She's a totally different
Speaker 1: woman now, But Bobby, she would listen to music and
Speaker 1: it would change everything. You know. She'd put old records
Speaker 1: on a smoked cigarettes and that old moumu and sit
Speaker 1: at the kitchen table and just white Trashes could be
Speaker 1: just singing along to Bob Seg or Wayland Jennings, and
Speaker 1: I just remember thinking, man, I want to make music
Speaker 1: that makes people feel like this music makes my mother feel.
Speaker 1: You know, had my mother had help from a doctor,
Speaker 1: I might have been a surgeon and had a six
Speaker 1: pack and been called slim totem or something. But it
Speaker 1: just turned out the other way. So I've always kind
Speaker 1: of wrote real songs for real people's with my goal,
Speaker 1: and the country thing was just kind of me leaning
Speaker 1: into my roots. I was born and raised right here
Speaker 1: in Nashville. You know, it's every kid's dream in Nashville
Speaker 1: to some sort to be a country music artist, And
Speaker 1: it just kind of happened organically. Me and Ernest were
Speaker 1: in the studio about as high as a hippie, about
Speaker 1: three sheets gone, and picked up a guitar and there
Speaker 1: it went. When you played the opera, I think it
Speaker 1: was in the last year, twenty twenty one, right, that'd
Speaker 1: be a special moment, especially growing up here in Nashville. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like not only the historic side of country music,
Speaker 1: but it's the sight of life driving by there my
Speaker 1: whole life, dude. I remember the grand old opry House
Speaker 1: from the Screaming Delta Demon at opry Land at his
Speaker 1: old school Nashville Talk. Before that whack Mall was at
Speaker 1: Mall Sucks. Before that mall was there, it was a
Speaker 1: theme park, you know what I mean, So we would
Speaker 1: watch it from the theme park. Dude. It was like
Speaker 1: I just remember as a kid, just thinking, man, and yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just like a dream come true on all fronts.
Speaker 1: Did your family think it was super cool that you
Speaker 1: were performing in that circle? Oh yeah, dude. My mother came,
Speaker 1: My whole family came. It was a white trash bass dude.
Speaker 1: We were all there. Everybody wore their Sunday beasts. Man,
Speaker 1: you should have seen it. I bought a sports coat.
Speaker 1: It was big, dude. It's a big deal. Man. My
Speaker 1: daughter got dressed up. It was huge for us. We
Speaker 1: don't dress up like that for funerals or weddings. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was that big of a deal. Were you nervous?
Speaker 1: I'm nervous now. This whole thing is unreal. Do you
Speaker 1: got a real I'm a kid that was spending most
Speaker 1: of his juvenile life in jail. Dude. You are the
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan of country music. I am sitting on this
Speaker 1: is I am here? You know what I mean. It's
Speaker 1: like I was if you think I'm nervous of all this,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to cuss, but yeah, this
Speaker 1: is all my nervousness makes me want to start spouting
Speaker 1: out of the mouth. What is it about now that
Speaker 1: I mean? Because you're I'll just say, you're kind of
Speaker 1: blowing up more mainstream than ever. Like, what is it
Speaker 1: about this chapter of your life that is creating this
Speaker 1: for you? Now? I think it's the ten year overnight
Speaker 1: success store, right, it's the kid that slept in a
Speaker 1: van and did two hundred and thirty shows a year
Speaker 1: for one hundred dollars a show. Dude, I used to
Speaker 1: open up for a pack of bubble gum and a
Speaker 1: bag of bud you know what I mean. So it's like,
Speaker 1: I think it's just years of writing a thousand songs
Speaker 1: and thousands of songs and just kind of coming here
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I think it's getting the opportunity
Speaker 1: to sit in places like this and tell my story
Speaker 1: that's probably helping the most, because when you look at me,
Speaker 1: you probably don't expect to hear from me what you hear,
Speaker 1: you know, So what is your story? I mean, if
Speaker 1: someone said, hey, man, we're thinking about doing a book
Speaker 1: with you, right, are you considering it? I well, let's
Speaker 1: let's hear your story. What is and you know you
Speaker 1: can tie it up a bit, But what is your
Speaker 1: story that you think inspire so many people? I want
Speaker 1: y'all to be clear. Bobby Bundle just signed me to
Speaker 1: a book public and dealing on this show, y'all. So
Speaker 1: in a nutshell, I'm from Antio, Tennessee. I grew up
Speaker 1: in a middle, lower class community. My father was a
Speaker 1: hard working meat salesman. He ran a meat company called
Speaker 1: d Fort Sausage and Dfort Old Sale meets. It's our
Speaker 1: family name on the Saddy book bets. My mother struggle
Speaker 1: with addiction. I was the youngest of four. I never
Speaker 1: controlled the radio. That's the reason that I make the
Speaker 1: kind of music I make now. And at about the
Speaker 1: age of fourteen, I started making a desist series of
Speaker 1: decisions that would lead to what we call the revolving
Speaker 1: door of the judicial system. And I spent probably twelve
Speaker 1: years in and out of that system, probably nine years in,
Speaker 1: three years out, you know the old due, a year in,
Speaker 1: three months home, two years in four months home kind
Speaker 1: of thing. And I won't even talk about the crimes
Speaker 1: because I don't think there's no glory in them and
Speaker 1: I'm not proud of them, but it is a part
Speaker 1: of my story, and it's also too many to list
Speaker 1: on this show. But yeah, man, I had a Damascus
Speaker 1: Road experience in the old Baptist term. On May twenty second,
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, I was at CS on Hardened Place,
Speaker 1: right down the street from here. I was in sell
Speaker 1: two twenty three, and a guard knocked on my door
Speaker 1: and had told me that I had had a daughter.
Speaker 1: And I knew that I had heard that I had
Speaker 1: got a young woman pregnant during one of my outs
Speaker 1: or ends, I guess in that case, but I had.
Speaker 1: But when I was back in jail, the baby was born,
Speaker 1: and I just remember thinking, man, I mean, I had
Speaker 1: a good father. He was a hustler, but he was
Speaker 1: a really good man. And I was like, I want
Speaker 1: to be a good father, you know. And I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't have any skill sets. I'd never had a job.
Speaker 1: I'm still to this day and not qualified to do
Speaker 1: much more than talk to you and sing. And I
Speaker 1: was like, well, I know I can do music. So
Speaker 1: I came home and started selling CD's office spindles and
Speaker 1: mix tapes out of trunks and doing shows and you know,
Speaker 1: selling a little bag of bud here and there when
Speaker 1: I had too. But I'd got away from real criminal,
Speaker 1: nefarious activities, and uh yeah, I just kind of led
Speaker 1: to here. And now I'm sitting here at the Bobby
Speaker 1: Bone show, you know, ready to talk to lunchbox about
Speaker 1: drinking tequila? Are you a big tequila drinker? Oh? Is
Speaker 1: that the drink? Oh? Boy listened. It's like when you
Speaker 1: blow the whistle of the dog. Here's and he's the
Speaker 1: only one in the room that hears it. Can we
Speaker 1: are we shooting some? He got some not ex I
Speaker 1: thought this is where you bust out the bottom like well, coincidentally,
Speaker 1: the Rocks sent us some terre mind. I was gonna
Speaker 1: be like, yes, you have a lot of face tattoos.
Speaker 1: How many on your face? I never counted. Well, if
Speaker 1: I'm guessing, well, some of them connect. Right. When you
Speaker 1: have to commit to your first face tattoo, is that
Speaker 1: a big decision? I was too young to commit to
Speaker 1: anything when I did that. For what it's worth, what
Speaker 1: was the first one? I think I had the cross
Speaker 1: in the tear drop at the same time when I
Speaker 1: was one of my stints on a state funded vacation.
Speaker 1: Oh you had them done in prison. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't seem safe, No, no, no, But it's that it's
Speaker 1: the safest thing there. You think that's not safe to
Speaker 1: see the stuff that happens in prison, right, there is
Speaker 1: great a safety, buddy. Let me day that would pass
Speaker 1: the commissioner CDC. Would it proved compared to the other
Speaker 1: stuff happening in there? Well, you have a rose up
Speaker 1: near your I do, above your left eye. It connects
Speaker 1: down to what is that? It's a heart way a locket,
Speaker 1: and at this point you've seen it so many times
Speaker 1: it's probably just your face right. Well, I see it
Speaker 1: backwards too, So you know, you gotta think when you're
Speaker 1: telling me something, I don't know what side what's on.
Speaker 1: You have one that goes down Bobby bones is reading man,
Speaker 1: I'm being I wanted to describe. He also has one
Speaker 1: that's like a straight line going down into his left
Speaker 1: eye and it comes down below always the clown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the word above the eyebrow? My son? Noah, okay, yep, yeah,
Speaker 1: And this is ignorance on my part. But we've always
Speaker 1: heard the teardrops. Like, if you have a teardrop and
Speaker 1: it's not filled in, well, I'm just asking. I don't know, ignorance.
Speaker 1: You can teach me. If it's not filled in, you
Speaker 1: attempted to kill someone and unsuccessful. If it's filled in,
Speaker 1: it was a success. No comment, that's why you don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm a minor for the tears. Would never forget. We
Speaker 1: shared see powerful jelly rolls in studio, by the way,
Speaker 1: is which By the way, dead Man Walking number one
Speaker 1: rock song as of today. I thought, that's why we're
Speaker 1: shooting to quila you you muff the punt. None of
Speaker 1: us most added dead Man Walking number one on the
Speaker 1: rock chart. Do we have a clip of that ray?
Speaker 1: Same album? Here it is? And you would you consider
Speaker 1: yourself first and foremost a hip hop artist? No, no, no, dude,
Speaker 1: I consider myself a singer songwriter. I guess I just
Speaker 1: knew you from doing hip hop first though. I know,
Speaker 1: ain't that crazy, and it's you being a hip hop
Speaker 1: artist and then the rock stuff and now the country stuff.
Speaker 1: But I think that's that's the attitude, like you're just
Speaker 1: creating based on what you feel. Just make just make
Speaker 1: real music for real people. I call it a therapeutic
Speaker 1: music bybe It's just important. Some music's meant to be
Speaker 1: heard and some music is meant to be felt. And
Speaker 1: I hyper focus on making music to people can feel.
Speaker 1: You know. It's kind of the Willie Nelson effect. I'm
Speaker 1: a but he wasn't big, But I'm a big, jovial
Speaker 1: guy in real life, you know, kind of a hippie.
Speaker 1: But Willie wrote the saddest songs, and I feel like
Speaker 1: that's kind of where when I get in that studio,
Speaker 1: my wife calls it my uh confessional booth. It's kind
Speaker 1: of my therapy. Do you ever confessor something? And she's like,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. No, no, no, dude, we're best friends. Dude,
Speaker 1: I can't surprise that one with anything. I wish I
Speaker 1: could surprise her. We've lost all surprise. She helps me
Speaker 1: find bulls on my butt. I mean, we're as close
Speaker 1: as you could be, boils on his butt, Like they're
Speaker 1: so close, she'll look to find them than the watch,
Speaker 1: the watch her screaming at me, why thank you? Like that?
Speaker 1: I was hoping it would that's real, Yes, sir, well
Speaker 1: no in casebody wants to hit me in the head later.
Speaker 1: It depends on who's as I mean, that is a
Speaker 1: watch and it looks loaded with diamonds. Yes, sir, like
Speaker 1: that is my wife bought me this back to her.
Speaker 1: Shout out to my wife, Bunny. I love her to death.
Speaker 1: And your wife's name is Bunny, Bunnie? And is that
Speaker 1: as like jelly roll Bunny? Or is her name really Bunny?
Speaker 1: Her name is Bunny. Yeah, she was Bunny before me.
Speaker 1: So you ever think about changing your name officially to
Speaker 1: jelly roll so it could be a legal name. I've
Speaker 1: thought about it, but I just I don't you know.
Speaker 1: I don't like going. I don't like paperwork. He probably
Speaker 1: could imagine. Yeah, I've considered making Bones my real middle
Speaker 1: name so I can use it if I run for office, Right,
Speaker 1: I can officially use it when you run for office?
Speaker 1: Can I be your running mate? Can? Did I get
Speaker 1: a book deal and an offer to be running mate? Show?
Speaker 1: I'm blown away by this man. This is more than
Speaker 1: I ever expected. What are your live shows like? Like? Incredible? Okay, man,
Speaker 1: let me brag for a second. And I'm a humble guy,
Speaker 1: but man, we turn that thing upside down. It is.
Speaker 1: The live shows cover everything from old classic rock to
Speaker 1: hip hop to country, the soul. We do a little
Speaker 1: motown in there. I mean, it is an incredible show.
Speaker 1: It's a live band, two guitars, bass, DJ to keep
Speaker 1: the old school hip hop element alive and well more
Speaker 1: of an MC than a DJ. But he'll still scratch
Speaker 1: a little bit here and there. Drums. We do it right.
Speaker 1: Adding a steel player this year. It's gonna be fire.
Speaker 1: You're adding a steel player. We are. That's awesome. We
Speaker 1: got a full blown country album in the works. Baby,
Speaker 1: this wasn't this, you know, make no mistake. It looks
Speaker 1: like a toe tap, but I'm going to do a
Speaker 1: cannonball in the country music bubba. I'm on the way.
Speaker 1: I'm belly flopping. I saw that you and Branley are
Speaker 1: doing some shows together. One of my favorite dudes on earth.
Speaker 1: So how did Branley Gilbert? I guess he got in
Speaker 1: touch with you and said, hey, come do some shows
Speaker 1: with me. Yeah. He called me one night, which was
Speaker 1: like the craziest call ever. But I kept hearing around town.
Speaker 1: Hey man, you need to meet Brandley Gilbert. Man, y'all
Speaker 1: look like y'all get in trouble and I love people
Speaker 1: all get in trouble with and everybody kept telling him,
Speaker 1: hey have you met Jelly roll y'all should meet, and
Speaker 1: he finally, you know, I guess the word of traveled.
Speaker 1: He called me and say I want to do some
Speaker 1: shows next summer. And what's crazy is I had done
Speaker 1: a podcast with my wife a couple of years earlier,
Speaker 1: and I was like, when it comes to doing shows,
Speaker 1: I think artists missed the old school approach of like
Speaker 1: doing it for people and doing it for the exposure.
Speaker 1: So I was like, if this was two years ago,
Speaker 1: my wife's podcast three years ago, I said, if Branley
Speaker 1: Gilbert d Rockers Shine Down called me, I would not
Speaker 1: even ask what the amount of money was. I'd say, yes,
Speaker 1: I want to go on tour with them. And I'm
Speaker 1: literally doing thirty dates with Shine Down this year in
Speaker 1: like ten dates with Brandley Gelbert. That's cool. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was just a complete manifestation. So I'm looking at you
Speaker 1: and you're in black and you got the chains on
Speaker 1: and the face tattoos and the blaying. Do you know
Speaker 1: we've met before? Oh yeah, listen. I tried to make
Speaker 1: them turn the golf cart around and chase you, but
Speaker 1: we've met and I didn't want to say I've met
Speaker 1: Jelly well playing golf before. Noah, I was spected him
Speaker 1: to say, this is the most memory I have was
Speaker 1: I was with Steve Hodges from Sony right, and he's
Speaker 1: like playing golf on a nice course. Yeah. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to fine like I've seen Delly role playing in
Speaker 1: a nice golf course. Oh yeah, so are you Are
Speaker 1: you a big golfer? Well, I'm I'm big in golf,
Speaker 1: but I am not a big golfer. I'm not a
Speaker 1: good golfer, but I really I enjoy anything that you
Speaker 1: can have a cocktail at nine am and people don't
Speaker 1: judge you. And golf is that sport. We've all been
Speaker 1: out there with an old man and that ordered a
Speaker 1: jack and coke at eight fifteen in the morning. Nobody
Speaker 1: says nothing that old man except that's awesome, right. That
Speaker 1: only happens on tour and a golf course. You know,
Speaker 1: when I saw you with a big record guy, what
Speaker 1: are you guys talking about this project now or no,
Speaker 1: we're just having life. No, I was already I'd already
Speaker 1: signed with Broken Boat at that time and we were
Speaker 1: just you know, I love how just man. He's a
Speaker 1: good dude, and you know I've got a you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just good dude. Man. He's flying to golf with
Speaker 1: We played good together. And I'll also gass him up
Speaker 1: and get him drunk on that back nine. And I
Speaker 1: think people intentionally bring me out on days when they
Speaker 1: want to get loose. Whenever you have to go to
Speaker 1: the golf course, so you know it's tucked in. You
Speaker 1: got you nice because I saw you looking like a golfer, Yes, sir?
Speaker 1: Does that feel foreign with the collared shirt? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd never looked goof here. Yeah, I've never looked goof here. Man.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I don't wear collared church for nothing
Speaker 1: but the opera. I didn't en wear him the court.
Speaker 1: How many times do you think you've been to court? Oh? Fifty, easy,
Speaker 1: one hundred. I couldn't even imagine. If we get serious
Speaker 1: for a second, what would you say to a kid
Speaker 1: now that's listening to this at fourteen fifteen years old
Speaker 1: that maybe is not growing up in the most ideal
Speaker 1: situation and has to make some tough choices right now
Speaker 1: like you did. Man. It's if we can get serious
Speaker 1: about that subject. We're doing a show later in Nashville
Speaker 1: this year, a big show, and I'm donating one hundred
Speaker 1: percent of the money from the show to help build
Speaker 1: a music program in the juvenile here in Davidson County.
Speaker 1: And I'm matching it with my own money dollar for dollar.
Speaker 1: So you're raising money and then matching the money you raise, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: I believe artists need to start stroking a check man.
Speaker 1: I hate when artists just want to fundraise and they
Speaker 1: don't want to reach in their old, precious bank account.
Speaker 1: Put your money where your mouth is, you know. And
Speaker 1: why is that important to you? Because I think these
Speaker 1: kids when I was in juvenile Bobby, nobody ever came
Speaker 1: to talk to me that I understood, right, God bless them.
Speaker 1: The guideons would come and they'd slide a Bible learner
Speaker 1: the door. And I appreciate that because I read that
Speaker 1: bibble a thousand times and they go, God bless you,
Speaker 1: young man. But you know it's eighty year old dude
Speaker 1: with a suit and tie that was disconnected by a door.
Speaker 1: Nobody comes to and gives these kids hope. And I've
Speaker 1: been to the adult prison and I've been to the
Speaker 1: juvenile prison. The adult prison is full of a bunch
Speaker 1: of grown mens who need to figure out a way
Speaker 1: to break a cycle. The juveniles full of a bunch
Speaker 1: of young kids that don't think they know any better.
Speaker 1: They don't know any better, you know. And I'm a
Speaker 1: big advocate for justice reform because when i was sixteen,
Speaker 1: I made a decision that I'm not proud of, but
Speaker 1: ended up getting charged as an adult. And here I
Speaker 1: stand in front of you, twenty years removed from that decision.
Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to carry a firearm. I'm not allowed
Speaker 1: to vote. I just had to fight tooth and nail
Speaker 1: to get a passport. I'm missing millions of dollars in
Speaker 1: Canada that I'll never be able to go get because
Speaker 1: of a decision I made twenty years ago. I was
Speaker 1: sixteen years old, dude. I mean, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I can say this, but I hadn't even started sprouting
Speaker 1: hair down there, you know, And here I was being
Speaker 1: charged as a full blown adult. I couldn't buy a
Speaker 1: pack of cigarettes, but you justified my criminal act is
Speaker 1: enough to charge me as an adult. I'm super passionate
Speaker 1: about that. These kids need chances, they need to see
Speaker 1: outside of their environment. I have people right now, Bobby
Speaker 1: that are from my neighborhood that never left my neighborhood.
Speaker 1: They watched the Tennessee Titans on TV, and I call
Speaker 1: them now that I'm successful. I'm like, I'll take you
Speaker 1: to a game. They're like, no, I'm cool. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know that stadiums eleven minutes from your house, never
Speaker 1: seen it. They don't know anything past that environment. Nobody
Speaker 1: ever comes through and tries to help these kids, man,
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm the most passionate about, and that's
Speaker 1: what i want to help with the most. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put my money where my mouth is when it
Speaker 1: comes to it. What about your kids? How do you
Speaker 1: plan to be a good dad and use what you've
Speaker 1: been through as an example to your kids. My daughter
Speaker 1: is almost will be fourteen this month, and her mother
Speaker 1: had got into about with heroin and had a rough
Speaker 1: addiction and we ended up getting custoded of her, her
Speaker 1: man and my wife eight or nine years ago. I
Speaker 1: have my daughter all the time. She flies out on weekends.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen her this morning on the way
Speaker 1: to school. I'll be the first thing she sees when
Speaker 1: she comes home from school, and to me, parenting is
Speaker 1: just about honesty. You know, it's just about being really
Speaker 1: honest and have an open dialogue. These kids are exposed
Speaker 1: to stuff so much faster than we were because of
Speaker 1: the Internet. Dude, back whenever I wanted to get a
Speaker 1: little risky, I had to go put together pieces of magazines, right,
Speaker 1: you know, I had to go find them in various spots.
Speaker 1: You know, these kids are exposed to so much stuff,
Speaker 1: and uh, to me, it's just about being honest and
Speaker 1: having a dialogue. My daughter is like I called her
Speaker 1: my little road dog. That's my little homie. You know,
Speaker 1: that's my my little best friend. And we talked like
Speaker 1: that and every now and then you gotta be dad.
Speaker 1: You got to growl and show your teeth. But ultimately
Speaker 1: it's just about bringing her along the way and keeping
Speaker 1: as close as you can, just kind of watching it grow.
Speaker 1: Sounds like, honest, he's a massive part of who you are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know I lunch boxes met me outside of here.
Speaker 1: The same guy that's sitting here. The same guy was there.
Speaker 1: You know, where'd you guys meet? Well? Softball? We played
Speaker 1: softball together and we drank a lot. We did. It's
Speaker 1: facts so I was. I was excited to bring this up.
Speaker 1: You play softball, you play golf. Yea, where are you
Speaker 1: doing the equestrian dude, I'm listen. I am an athlete
Speaker 1: and an alcoholic's body Bobby, I'm trying to tell you, man,
Speaker 1: I have I had a bomb, didn't I had a stinger? Dade?
Speaker 1: I had the most famous base hit and celebrities saltall history.
Speaker 1: I was one of the celebrity games. H don't you
Speaker 1: guys want like a secret league or something on Tuesday nights? Here? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Can we bowled on Wednesdays? Come hang out, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that book. Jelly rolls here with us again. Congratulations.
Speaker 1: I'd been walking a number one song. It's great Son
Speaker 1: of a Center again, most added at country radio. And
Speaker 1: you have a whole country album coming out. I do Yeah.
Speaker 1: Me and Brandley have been writing a lot. Me in earnest.
Speaker 1: I got some stuff in the kettle pot. Man, I'm cooking. Baby.
Speaker 1: We're gonna play Son of a Center now. But man,
Speaker 1: just appreciate you coming in. You know, I think you
Speaker 1: gotta you have a great message. I think you can
Speaker 1: speak to the people that you want to speak to.
Speaker 1: And again, You're probably one of the only people that can,
Speaker 1: you know, because unless you come from something, you almost
Speaker 1: don't want to listen to people lecture you. You know.
Speaker 1: I am from a very small town in Arkansas, and
Speaker 1: it's like people don't understand unless they've experienced it, right.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate your message, and I think you're probably
Speaker 1: reaching a lot of people when others can't so, and
Speaker 1: you have to go through a lot to actually get
Speaker 1: that message and gather those tools. But man, it's good
Speaker 1: to see you here. I feel dude. I'm a huge
Speaker 1: fan of the show. My mom is a fan of
Speaker 1: the show. We're all like, this is a big deal. Man.
Speaker 1: We're keeping up with the big acting debut and I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to drinking with Lunchbox again. I'm totally in
Speaker 1: the know of this show. This isn't I didn't do
Speaker 1: research on the way in. I literally I've seen Luke
Speaker 1: Combs sitting his seat and I was like, we're getting close.
Speaker 1: I'm bigger than Luke, but it looks like he's comfortable
Speaker 1: in it. So now that I'm in it, I feel
Speaker 1: great and I'd love to come back and talk a ken.
Speaker 1: And one thing you're always going to get from me, Bobby,
Speaker 1: for better or worse. It's honest and real, and I
Speaker 1: do want to be a voice for the voiceless. I
Speaker 1: do want to help the people that you know the
Speaker 1: music's here to help, and I think that's what music
Speaker 1: did for me to this day. Music helps me through
Speaker 1: my darkest moments. We got three minutes of songwriters to
Speaker 1: change the way people feel or to ride with them
Speaker 1: in the darkest moment or the best moment of their life.
Speaker 1: And I take those three minutes more than I more
Speaker 1: serious and I take anything else in my life. I
Speaker 1: appreciate that. And at jelly Roll six one five, if
Speaker 1: you want to follow him, it's the Best Bits of
Speaker 1: the Week with Morgan number two. All right, y'all, thanks
