1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: All right away with this episode ten and the Bobby

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: cast Welcome to the show. Saved our biggest guest. That's

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: far for episode ten. We didn't know if we'd make

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: it this far, so we celebrated and co hosted at

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: the Bobby Bones Show. Amy's here today. Hello. Okay, it's weird.

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: What I don't know? So Amy's here and I figured

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: we will just kind of talk about you. And Amy

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 1: has her own podcast to which we'll talk about a bit. Um.

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: That's why she was begging to come on the show

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: so she could promote it and no begging E And uh, Mike,

11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: you can kick it off here. Uh, it's Amy. Now.

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: We do a show together every day for five hours.

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: Today sitting basically this close, so today's dynamic will be

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: slightly different. Um, but I'll go ahead and we'll start

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: with you, Mike, Mike d Our, producer, go ahead. Question one,

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: When you first met Amy, what wasn't it about her

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: that kind of stood out TV like you had to

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: have her on the show. I think this She was unapologetic,

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: but not in the way that most times people say

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: that where they come across as crass or rude. She

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: was just unapologetic. At she was clumsy and nice and

22
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: Christian and just authentic, but you know, just just she

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: just was who she was and that was it. So yeah,

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: I think that was kind of the same thing that

25
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: today is still like the reason that I enjoyed being

26
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: around her, So that still hadn't changed. We were on

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: flying this past weekend. We were Heart Festival and I

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: guess Amy was having a moment or something and she

29
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: was like, I just needed you to fill my cup

30
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: up and I was like, are you talking about and so,

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: but well, things have changed a lot. Yeah, they changed

32
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: a lot and a lot. This is fittingly the tenth

33
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: episode of your podcast. We've been together. I mean, we've

34
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: been friends longer, but I've how long we've been doing

35
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: the show together. Over ten years, but I'm in my

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: tenth going on eleventh year. But it's a long time.

37
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: So I mean a lot of changed for both of us.

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that in a way like you've changed,

39
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: but it's just we've gotten older, our lives have shifted.

40
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: You've got so much more going on. And we used

41
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: to be I think together a lot more or even

42
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: we were traveled a lot more, and we were so

43
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: inseparable that people thought we had an affair forever. I

44
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: mean it still comes up all the time. Oh no,

45
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean it doesn't. So I mean if it does,

46
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: it's so nothing. We don't I don't even see its, like,

47
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: like what that's crazy, Well, I don't even see it.

48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: But it wasn't it all the time our first years

49
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: of being together, it was all the thing. And I

50
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: wrote in my book, but nothing has ever happened with

51
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: us like ever and forever. Even people in our building

52
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: will be like, oh, for sure, they're doing it. But

53
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: we were just really really really close all the time.

54
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: And um, I think a lot of that was we

55
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: were young. We didn't have a lot of other things

56
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: going on. Um I met Amy well the first time cover. Yeah,

57
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: And I feel like I've told this story a lot,

58
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: but I was at a restaurant and she came up

59
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: and so, um, to just answer your question when we

60
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: can go back around, but um, yeah, it's just unapologetic,

61
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: just she is who she is. And again, yeah, it

62
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: was good to actually spend quality time whereas you and

63
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: I get to talk, Amy, I get to talk about

64
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: ourselves every day, we do. But we're sitting in a

65
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: room together in my office where we have a side

66
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: studio and we're kind of commercials and we're going quick

67
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: and it's a little comments and we we text all

68
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: the time, but again, we used to spend for you

69
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: was like, that's like the thing that Amy gets on

70
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: me for is that and not in a bad way,

71
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: and that where she has grown in her personal life

72
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: with a husband and about to have two kids, and

73
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: lots of what I've grown in my professional life. I'm

74
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: not backing on that a little bit. But you're super busy.

75
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: So it goes from you know, I was doing the

76
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: radio show to uh, turning the radio show and then

77
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: turn it into a national radio show and turning that

78
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: national radio show and shifting and moving the whole show

79
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: over from there. Starting the Raging Idiots is just a

80
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: two person parody band. It's turned into record deal books. Um,

81
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: so it's just a lot of things which has required

82
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people to help me because I can't

83
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: do it all by myself from outside of the building.

84
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: So like I have like I call my babysitter. I

85
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: have a manager now and and I'll admit some of that,

86
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: some of that I struggled with a little bit, I

87
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: think any not because I'm not proud of you or anything,

88
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: but I think you know, we started out, We're in

89
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: one market. We managed ourselfs like there was nobody. Everything

90
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: was just like us, which I think sometimes when all

91
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: of this stuff started to change the last few years,

92
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: whereas I used to be able to come to you

93
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: for stuff, you almost didn't even know your own schedule,

94
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: and rightfully so it's not so. So I had a

95
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: problem like embracing the fact that I had to reach

96
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: out to other people because I'm like, oh no, no,

97
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: I've been friends and I know. So I was like,

98
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, and now and now it's just easier, And

99
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: now I'm like, I love it. I love that other

100
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: people like know everything because then I can get an

101
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: answer and it's legit and it's right, and it's quick

102
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: because he doesn't know it's certainly so. Um, now I've

103
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: embraced it. I don't know my schedule day to day

104
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: most of the time. I just know that it's there's

105
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: rarely fifteen minutes. We'll call it growing pains. Um. That's

106
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: been the weirdest thing for I think us as a

107
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: team growing pains and Amy has been my absolute closest

108
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: friend for the past ten years, like overall my closest

109
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: friends and um, but yeah, the growing pains have been.

110
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: But listen, you have gotten married. I'm not don't take

111
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: this Frison. It's not personal saying on the other side

112
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: of it. Um, it's not like because we have to

113
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: just go hang out and have dinner and eat lunch,

114
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: and but now you have weekends you're off in Haiti

115
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: or you're dealing with kids stuff or and that's been.

116
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: That's been a lot, that's been heavy, that's been. I

117
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: think once they get here, I feel like some of

118
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: you will resume back to normal. I feel like a

119
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: lot it's going to change your game. My normal will

120
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: be different. But I feel like right now I'm in

121
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: such a place where like half of my heart is

122
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: here and half of it's in Haiti, So I don't

123
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: really feel complete. We started together on the same page

124
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: and we have grown together very much so, but we've

125
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: also kind of spread in different ways. So and she

126
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: just gets mad that she has to go to more

127
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: than and be like, hey, Bobby Free, I'm not mad anymore.

128
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: I like it now, and I'll be like, I don't know.

129
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: At the beginning, I was like, no, I don't go

130
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: through people. I go through you, and then now I

131
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't know the and then would he would be so

132
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: busy he wouldn't know. And then now I'm like, bring

133
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: on the people. It has been a change. But if

134
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: I didn't have these people like looking over my career,

135
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to manage it, like tour managers

136
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: and booking and totally I get it. I get it.

137
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: That's one. Yes, um that that is what drew me

138
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: to her. Do you want to know Jimmy to Bobby, Yeah,

139
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I didn't even know he was

140
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna offer me really a job on the radio. I

141
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: didn't offer a job for a long time. And not

142
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: to repeat things that we've said over and over again,

143
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: but I did not offer Amy the job first, like

144
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: I only want to hire my friends or people that

145
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with. And I met Amy at Culver's and

146
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: we got to know each other for like six or

147
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: seven months, and we were friends, and I was just

148
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: making sure that and I had started dating my husband

149
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: right at the same time. But then Bobby and I

150
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: would like hang out and I would be like, I

151
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, I'm gonna go to dinner and

152
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: then one time we went to the movies and then

153
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: went saw cars. Yeah, that was that came out. And

154
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: then oh gosh, one time I was on the phone

155
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: with my head. Well he wasn't my husband yet. We

156
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: were just dating, like newly dating, don't We weren't even Yeah,

157
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: we weren't engaged because we got engaged shortly after newly dating.

158
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: And I called my husband Bobby oh at the time,

159
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: boyfriend or whatever, and it was like because Bobby and

160
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: I were spending so much time together and then out

161
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: of nowhere, I just he were on the phone and

162
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: I just said, oh, Bob, okay Bobby, and I mean,

163
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not your name, but that's how much

164
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: time we were spending together. And then one night we

165
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: went to dinner and You're like, I'm here to offer

166
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: you a job. Yeah, And so that was what happened,

167
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: and there we are, all right, what are you doing?

168
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: And it went down for some reason. Um, alright, Mike,

169
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: you have another question going, well, Amy, you never did

170
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: radio before, so like, did Bobby trained you? And when

171
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: you started? How was that process? No? Okay, okay, okay, okay,

172
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: well I take that back. Yes, everything I know today

173
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: is that is worth anything in radio. I have learned

174
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: from Bobby, so yes, but I wouldn't say there was

175
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: like this radio boot camp. I feel like what Bobby

176
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: was doing when he selected friends to join him was

177
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: he wanted us to be us. He didn't want training

178
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: or you to yeat rough because we're not like I was,

179
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: speech impediment. Um, it's not even just status that even

180
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: on my side, I don't know anything other than what

181
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: I've done. I haven't. No one taught me how to

182
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: do a morning show. They just took a year old

183
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: kids said okay, here's the show, and so I started

184
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: doing it. No one taught me how to do it,

185
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: and then I had brought people on. No one taught

186
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: anyone had to do anything. So that's why the show

187
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: sounds so oddly rough and fantastic at the same time.

188
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: In different times, it would be a terrible joking me

189
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: a great show. Um, what what I don't understand? What

190
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: do you to me? You never answered, Oh, we moved on,

191
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: But I was just thinking. I didn't. I wasn't. I

192
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: just I thought you were funny, I mean, and when

193
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: you offered me a job in radio, of course I

194
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: thought that was fun and I was like years old.

195
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: I had a nice and deep answer. Hers was like,

196
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: you offered me a job? What else might so how

197
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: would you say? Yes? Friendship has changed over the years

198
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: with you know, everything kind of getting on a you know,

199
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: a show is getting on a bigger scale, and you

200
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: guys don't like, are you a closer now or is

201
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: it I put one more pressure on Amy than anybody

202
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: else on the show, like significantly? Oh yeah, of course,

203
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: Like without Amy first there, I mean, there's no show.

204
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: Well that's that's not true. And I've told her, I've

205
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: told her that privately twenty times that without Amy, the

206
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: show just isn't a sick says And so I know

207
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: that I know where my bread's buttered when we do

208
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: a radio show, and she makes me a better radio

209
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: personality and he makes me a better person, and those

210
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: two things go together because I try to be a

211
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: better person. And if i'm I mean I am who

212
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: I am on the radio to Bobby is some like

213
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: rare genius that knows what's gonna work and what's gonna

214
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: sound good. Now does everything began out? No? But he

215
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: can he can take what we submit to talk about

216
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: and compile and he can know like, Okay, this is

217
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to talk about, Like I can think

218
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: so many things are awesome to talk about, but he

219
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: just kind of he just he just knows. He makes

220
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: it work. So for you to say that it wouldn't

221
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: exist being what it is without me, it wouldn't you.

222
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: You are the the puppet master, I guess if you will,

223
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: and you do it well, and you've led well in

224
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: that area of the thing. That too, is no one

225
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: on the show knows what we're gonna talk about. We

226
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: talk about like, nobody knows what we're going to talk

227
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: about it. Ray has a by the idea because I'll

228
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: send them audio to put in, but nobody on the

229
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: entire show knows what I'm gonna talk about. It. It's

230
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: super organic because I don't want anyone having any idea

231
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: or having to try to come up with some joke,

232
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: because that's not the point of the show. It's not

233
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: to be the zany let's come up with jokes morning show.

234
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: It's just to live lives. I just want to try

235
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: to find the best people possible. Um. It's been that

236
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: way since day one, and it kept it that way,

237
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: and so many people think, like, do you have prep

238
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: meetings before or after you talk about the next day's show,

239
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: and we just we just don't. And it's sometimes people

240
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: in radio when they hear that we don't do that,

241
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: they get weird looks. But again, since I don't know radio,

242
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: even though I've been in radio ten years, I'm like,

243
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: why are you giving me weird looks? This is what

244
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: we this is radio, And they're like, no, that's not

245
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: it's not how most people do it exact and some

246
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: people do it their way really well. But I want

247
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: to found a bunch of people that weren't good at radio.

248
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: I was. I wasn't good radio. Which you found your friends?

249
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,599
Speaker 1: Which was the original question. Sometimes we do tour, but

250
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: that was the original question about our friendship. But I

251
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: think I think that as it's similar to the show.

252
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: There's been some like like we've just grown, Like you're busier,

253
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: you're you're I think you've maxed out at I was

254
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: about to go deep here, but we are still as

255
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: close as we were. Um you could you only there's

256
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: a certain amount of rope, right that's you're able to give.

257
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: And I've I was given that a long time ago,

258
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: and I think I still have it. Well, I mean

259
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying it's the longest or anything.

260
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: You have the longest for a couple of reasons. One,

261
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: we've been together forever to I trust you. I mean

262
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: we've been to a lot together, like a lot, and

263
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: you've always been there for me, Like there are things

264
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: always been there for me. You'all have no idea. I

265
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: could even like get an emotional saying it, because there

266
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: are things that Bobby has done for me and my

267
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: family that like, you'll have no idea. You have no idea.

268
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: So that friendship stuff like there's because of you know,

269
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: Bobby's upbringing and things. We all have baggage, but because

270
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: if some of yours, like he only has a that

271
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: so long, like that rope is so long, and I

272
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: feel like I got that a long time ago and

273
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: I feel like I still have it. So just do

274
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: I still feel like our friendship is the same, Yes,

275
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: But the aspects that are different are just that, um,

276
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: your professional life, your career is just you know, going

277
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: off in ninety different directions, which I love because I'm

278
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: your friend. I want that for you because I know

279
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: that's that's your heart's desire and I but sometimes because

280
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: life is like that you know, you don't get as

281
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: much time with people, and my life is different too,

282
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter like Bobby would be there for

283
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: me in a second. And I think this the same

284
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: speaks for me. Yea for you, I think that we've

285
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: been together a long time, We've we are friends, have

286
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: been tested a bunch, and we both had really you know,

287
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: both of our moms died and we were both there

288
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: for each other a hardcore. I think for us that

289
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: was a really we were already there. But I think

290
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: for us that just kind of sewed up the fact

291
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: that forever, even if we don't talk for three years

292
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: or seven years, that it would be like one phone call.

293
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter where you are, what you need. It's

294
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: like when my mom, my mom died and I was

295
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: on the air, and um, and I don't even don't

296
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: may he's gonna get me emotional my mom. I was

297
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: on the air and I got a phone call and

298
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: my mom died while I was on the air, and um,

299
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: it was my sister's and my mama died and IM

300
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: was in her forties and obviously, um, she had struggled

301
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: drugs and alcohol forever, and so I couldn't leave we

302
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: had just started syndicating the show, and there was there

303
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: was nothing I could do, and I was able to

304
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: and I still am able to separate things. It's unhealthy

305
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: how I can separate things, and it it helps me

306
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: in ways, but at times it's very unhealthy. And I said, hey,

307
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: I told Amy, I said, listen, I just got a

308
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: call for my sister. My mom just died. And and

309
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, okay, we're going to commercial. Show is done.

310
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: It's like you something, and then Bobby's like, nope, We're

311
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: doing the next break. And we go back on air

312
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: and we talked as if like nothing. I mean, I

313
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: couldn't talk, Lunchbox can talk. Bobby carries on like Bobby

314
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: is in a zone. I mean, obviously it was probably

315
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: one of the I get that you're saying you can

316
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: compartmentalize like no other, but that had to be one

317
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: of the hardest things you've ever done. It just was

318
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: what happened to be done. So I did. This is

319
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: what happened. There was an hour and twenty minutes the

320
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: show left. I went on to the hour and twenty

321
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: minutes of the show, is Amy said in the corner

322
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: and cried the whole time. And because I couldn't, she

323
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: did and the whole you know, and you know, I

324
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: went home to care of the arrangement to funeral. Amy

325
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: was there, I mean they everyone was there next day,

326
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: but I mean boom, I mean I was back on

327
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: the air. But from you, he was like back at work.

328
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean even at the funeral. We were like, Bobby,

329
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: you just take your time, like do what you need

330
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: to do here, and you just were like, I think

331
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: the best thing for me is just to get back

332
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: to work. And it was and and that's different than you.

333
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 1: And you know, Amy's mom struggled and she died of

334
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: cancer and after a long about and of just a

335
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: roller coaster of two years of sadness and happiness and

336
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: uh every feeling you could possibly have. And your mom

337
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: was so great to me, and for me, it was

338
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: it wasn't about the show with Amy. I told Ammy

339
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: go away, like just go away. There was so many

340
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 1: times I did the show but people wouldn't even know,

341
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: Like I would do the show from Austin or my

342
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: mom was at Indie Anderson and Houston and my heart

343
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: has studios there, and so Bobby would let me go

344
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: do the show and I would spend the night at

345
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: the hospital and I'd wake up at you know, three

346
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: or four in the morning there and I'd go to

347
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: the Houston station. I'm driving around Houston and the all night,

348
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: not knowing where I was going, and the people in

349
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: Houston let me in like yeah, he would be like,

350
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: don't And there would be some days that I absolutely

351
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: would not. Then there would be days where I just

352
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: felt like, Okay, I need to keep working to kind

353
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: of have some normalcy and you know, break up the

354
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: monotony at the hospital and stuff. And I was just

355
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: so grateful for that, because no, there were people at

356
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: the hospital that I would meet and I would come

357
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: back from doing the radio show like thinking, you know

358
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: if I would be thinking, you know something, feeling sorry

359
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: for myself or something, and then I would encounter someone

360
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: in the waiting room who had a loved one that

361
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: had cancer and they like had to quit their job

362
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: to be there every day. They had to quit. And

363
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: like with with you, and you know, are like just you,

364
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: that was never even an option. You were like family first,

365
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: and that's the rolling out to still take care of

366
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: you first. Because of that, you being able to be

367
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: you weed it. We're not us and so there's a

368
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: time to I think of back to when I think

369
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: I just casually like said to Bobby, I don't even

370
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: know and I know you know this story it's so stupid,

371
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: but um, I said something like my mom was bored

372
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: in the waiting room one day and I was like,

373
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: surely once an iPad and I like showed up. It

374
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: worked the next day and Bobby had got my mom

375
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: and I paid, and it felt like we couldn't have

376
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: just I mean, my mom could have gotten and it's

377
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: not it's not the I thought that it was an iPad.

378
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: It was just like I said that, and you listened

379
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: and you heard, and then you just show you just

380
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: randomly had it sent to her something or I showed

381
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: a bit we're going to say, or somehow an iPad appeared,

382
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: and like we had it was like, you know, she

383
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: would entertain herself for hours at the hospital with the

384
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: with that iPad. Like I won't ever that's like a

385
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: memory I'll never forget because it's like something I just

386
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: said so casually, and then the next day you had it.

387
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: And then she got to play with an iPad basically

388
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 1: for like two years, you know, while she sat up

389
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: there and she played her studio goo or whatever you

390
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: play on iPad and then we do those funny the

391
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: photo booth, we take those funny pictures. Yeah, before Snapchat

392
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: there was photo boot filters. But anyway, that was a

393
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: that was a moment where I mean, that's that's the

394
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: Bobby that I don't know. I mean some of that

395
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: stuff may or may not have come up on air,

396
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: and I don't even remember certain things that we always

397
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: talk about, but like your hands down, you were always like,

398
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: do what you gotta do, do what you gotta do.

399
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's what will always, even if we're

400
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: not in the same spot, because who knows what happened

401
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: a year or three years, will always like, like I

402
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: said on the air, I think today or yesterday I

403
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: was making fun of you just because you were like,

404
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: oh I got my cup full of Bobby. I was like,

405
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we didn't. You've been my closest friend

406
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: for ten years, so there. So yes, there's the answer

407
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: to that question. Boy, it's like freaking um oprah in here,

408
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: go ahead. What else you got? What's the best memory

409
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: I'll have with each other? Mm hmm the best memory? Man? Um,

410
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: there's some we do it just it's the best handsund

411
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: you say, I just want to Yeah, I guess I

412
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: might have to go the first thing I think of,

413
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: because it just just best. I mean, when you're together

414
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: with someone for ten years, Like the best I would

415
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: say it was probably Amy winning the award for the

416
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: Gracie for Females that make a Difference in Broadcasting and

417
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: I got to present her the award and watching her

418
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: just own it her because for a long time she's

419
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: always been any Bobby's sidekick. And over the last two years,

420
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: I've really tried to you know, all you'll always be

421
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: Amy from the show, but I've always but but but

422
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: with Amy, I've always been like, hey, it's you gotta

423
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: do you too? You know, I know what if this

424
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: is me, yeah it is, but but it's so strong.

425
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm not the kind of guy that wants to hold

426
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: Amy down. And and so Amy getting up there and

427
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: just and owning the room and her mom being able

428
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: to make it out there while her mom was sick,

429
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: and getting the award and um speaking eloquently with passionate emotion,

430
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: and I was just so proud of her, more of

431
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: her than actually for her, because it was like I'd

432
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: watched someone grow into this this role and she just

433
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: deserved it so much. So for me, that was I mean,

434
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: that's my one of my favorite things. There are lots

435
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: of little dumb things, but I mean that's what comes

436
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: to mind, is like the first one. Now, well, then

437
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: I'll play by that rule and do the first thing

438
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: that popped into my head was UM, And mind's more recent,

439
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: although I could probably name so many more, but going

440
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: back to your high school with you, UM, when you've

441
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: spoke at your high school graduation, Um, that was special.

442
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: That was a proud moment. And I think the fact

443
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: that there's still people at that school that we're there

444
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: when he was there and listening to them tell stories

445
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: about him, UM, that's something I won't ever forget because

446
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: I there's big things for you. I know that, And

447
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: I always picture like you know what's in store for Bobby,

448
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: Like who knows? But I mean, I just I know

449
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: there's gonna be big things. And that's that's one of

450
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: those memories that I had, Like walking down the hall

451
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: with one of his former teachers. That's like telling me

452
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: stories of Bobby in high school and then watching him

453
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: give the high school commencement speech. Um. I was just

454
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: super proud of him because you realize going to your town,

455
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: great people, wonderful place, but you realize when you get

456
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: there that I mean, it was not easy probably for

457
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: Bobby to do what he did to be where he

458
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: is today. And um, I think if you achieve what

459
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: I think you will achieve in life, that's something I'm

460
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: going to always look back on and be like, I

461
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: don't remember walking the halls of his high school and

462
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: hearing those teachers tell me those things about you and

463
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: how awesome you were, and how there was a microphone,

464
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: it was in Bobby's hand, and if there was a girl,

465
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: she was not nearby. Yeah, nowhere near ye got to

466
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: see it. I couldn't. Well the first time I went.

467
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: That was the second time I gone. The first time

468
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: I went was for his mother's funeral, and that's what

469
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: that was when I first realized, like, okay, and then

470
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: I feel like even with the funeral, I knew there

471
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: was no way we were not going to be there,

472
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: and I knew deep down you were glad we were there,

473
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: but there was so there was hesitation and going because

474
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: you're so sometimes private about some stuff that it was

475
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: like we didn't want that's the thing you think. Okay,

476
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: you think sometimes when people are trying to be there

477
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: for you and be a friend, that you're being a

478
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: burden always right, And that's just so not the case.

479
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: So that was my first time there to answer your question, Mike,

480
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: and I that's when I realized, like, okay, well, like

481
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't you know, sometimes people tell stories and you're

482
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: like they're probably you know, you're just like stretching the

483
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: truth a little bit. Nope, nope, I mean that was no, no, no, stopful,

484
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: I mean nothing nothing, There's nothing but nice people. I mean,

485
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: like I love where I came. Yes, absolutely, there's nothing

486
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: there right like Dyve had. I mean yeah, there's closed

487
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: down down and it was not good then and it's

488
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: really you know they struggle now. So um so yeah,

489
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: I think that's a good What else you got? How

490
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: much do you say, like you guys rubbed off on

491
00:25:54,760 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: each other as far as you like, not exaggerate and

492
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: Amy has made me a better person, like just straight up.

493
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: She has made me care more than I think I

494
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: am in a different I do like how caring about

495
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: like just like life stuff in general. You know, I

496
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: see how she wears her heart in her sleeping cares

497
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: openly and it doesn't make me as afraid to do

498
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: that because I care in different ways and much more

499
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: private ways. I would rather do X and no one

500
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: know about it. Um. And it's not because I don't

501
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: like to be vulnerable. I think having a vulnerability to caring,

502
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: that that's Amy's thing. Like she's the most caring person

503
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: I've ever met, and she's super vulnerable and um, it's

504
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: it's a it's a quality that I don't have. And

505
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: I've been able to watch her do it and and

506
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: see her really passionate about things. Um. But that that's

507
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: what's rubbed off from her to me. Bobby is um

508
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: motivating and inspiring, like I wouldn't say like I I

509
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: never will. Clearly I didn't have aspirations for radio. It's

510
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: not like I. Oh and by the way, we thought

511
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: he was leaving every year. Every year was like yeah,

512
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: and it was like, hey, you when you leave it

513
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: into this year when your contracts up, well you know,

514
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: we'll find But she just kept staying around until finally

515
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: she was like, I guess I'm just gonna say, I

516
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: guess it's gonna be my career now. At one point

517
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: I turned to corner. I was like, Okay, this is

518
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: my career. And to have someone like Bobby to to

519
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: be at the head of that, um, it just makes

520
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: you you just you feel like, okay, am I am?

521
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: I Am I doing enough? But then I have to

522
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: step back and realize, like I don't have the same

523
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: goals as Bobby. That doesn't matter. I just should still

524
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: want to strive to be good at what I do

525
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: or successful at what I do. It doesn't mean that

526
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: I have to keep doing have to do more and

527
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: more and more and more like very things. I guess

528
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: you could say, but you're you're very very Uh, you

529
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: might be the most driven person that I know. I

530
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: should look at you instead of Mike when I say that,

531
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: you might be the most driven person that I know. Um,

532
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: And sometimes that that maybe you know, like you say,

533
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: a downfall because you're so focused on it. But at

534
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: the same time, for someone that looks up to you

535
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: like I do in that level, I'm like, oh man,

536
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 1: I could be taking things to another level. I mean,

537
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: he's even You're even motivating. And I know this is

538
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna sound cheesy too, but I see how dedicated he

539
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: can be to things like he puts his mind to

540
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: something and it's happening, and like me, I'm more like

541
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: I put my mind to something and then it might

542
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: not happen tomorrow, you know, Like I like, I like,

543
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: I start things and I quit things. I start things

544
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: that I quit things, And Bobby's like, I'm sixty two

545
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: days strong, like this is what I'm doing, have a

546
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: control complex and I'm freaking out. I'm not even talking

547
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: about your weird o c D stuff. I'm talking about

548
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: It's like you haven't a many times in my head

549
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: where I'm like, Okay, well Bobby can do this for

550
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: even if it's something you know, trivial or awesome. Still

551
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: he's he's like that, and he's uh again, always shown

552
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: me how to you listen? He listens, well, I need

553
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: to listen better. I do think of that and that

554
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: that the iPad thing was one example. I could give more,

555
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: but he listens and he somehow, Mike, you've experienced that.

556
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: I know you have, because I know of instances where

557
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: Bobby's knows you're something in your life that's going on

558
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: and he just randomly, you know, it is like this

559
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: little Bobby angel, like this little like sprinkles for you know,

560
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: I know it's hard for you to your Bobby, but

561
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean that's something that I think of. I'm like,

562
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: I need to listen better, like Bobby. I need to

563
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: listen to what is go going on with people and

564
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: then do something about it. And nobody ever has to know.

565
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: But he's he's You're good at that. He's good at that.

566
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: So you grew up You're born aware Austin St. David's Hospital,

567
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: and you grew up in Austin your whole life, same

568
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: house until I was eighteen, until I left for college,

569
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: and then when when I left for college, my mom

570
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: sold it. She didn't want to sell it when we

571
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,719
Speaker 1: were because my dad left when I was eight, and

572
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: so I think she probably, you know, realistically, should have

573
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 1: you know, sold it then and moved somewhere else, But um,

574
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: she didn't want to uproot us from our friends in

575
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: our neighborhood and our schools, and so we stayed till

576
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: I was eighteen. And then so you were there until

577
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: eighteen year. Dad left when you were eight. Did he

578
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: stay close or did he move far? Originally he moved

579
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: to Midlands. Yeah, I mean, so I would go like

580
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: if I went to see him, I would fly. Um,

581
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, my mom would put me on an airplane

582
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: and I go see my dad for the week again,

583
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: and I fled back and he was with my Oh gosh,

584
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: my family's stuff is So what's crazy is my dad

585
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: left when I was eight, but then he didn't get

586
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: married till I was eighteen to the to the woman

587
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: that he was with, um, because my parents didn't get

588
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: divorced till I was eighteen either, So he left for

589
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: he left when I was eight years later, and it

590
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, it was a it was a it

591
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: was a monetary thing, but in my household, it was

592
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: also like my mom was willing to take him back

593
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: if he wanted to come back, and we waited for

594
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: a really long time. That never happened until like a

595
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: year before my mom died, my dad tried to start

596
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: dating her again. Do you think that was because of guilt? No?

597
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: I think well he got he had recently gotten divorced

598
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: from my stepmom, who was with basically since I was eight,

599
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: even though she wasn't my stepmom the entire time. And

600
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: then my dad's never been alone. He's been married four times.

601
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: I love my dad to death. This is I'm not

602
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: knocking my dad, this is just my my home life.

603
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: Like he just liked women and always younger women. Uh,

604
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: and got you know my mom. It was the third wife,

605
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: and then you know, the fourth and then they separated.

606
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: And then I think my dad was suddenly like old

607
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: and he was like whoa, what what's happening in life?

608
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: And then he had this like revelation he at this

609
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: moment and he was like the things that were always

610
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: important to him suddenly weren't. And then family more so

611
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: was I know, my dad always loved us, but other

612
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: he chased other things for sure. Um. And then uh,

613
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: he started like kind of courting, like kind of like

614
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to hang out with my mom again. And

615
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: my Mom's like, oh my gosh, like I waited for

616
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: you for like twenty five years or something. You're gonna

617
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: come to me when I'm like I got cancer, She's like,

618
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm busy, Like I don't have time. I don't time

619
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: for this right now, like I'm got a little bit

620
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: going on. And so but at that time, even though

621
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: they didn't start you know, dating, um, my dad stepped

622
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: in and he became a caregiver alongside me and my

623
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: sister because because my mom was single. My sister and

624
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: I did all the hospital visits, We did everything. And

625
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: then when there was times because my sister was four

626
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: kids and I was living in North Carolina and then

627
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: Austin and then Nashville, and if I couldn't get back,

628
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: my dad would step up. And that's something I think

629
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: for my sister and I to to see your parents

630
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: come back sort of full circle in a way to

631
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: where your dad's back in and he's like, I got this,

632
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm here for you. All that was really special. And

633
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: then the last week of my mom, my mom's life,

634
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: she was she spent a few days in hospice at

635
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: the Center and my dad, UM, my sister and I

636
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: and my dad were the only people in the room

637
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: and there was tons of people in and out of

638
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: there all day long, but suddenly we were the only

639
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: ones in there, and my sister and I wrote around

640
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: the couch and we saw my dad go over to

641
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,239
Speaker 1: my mom and start, you know, like brushing her hair.

642
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: And this was the day before she went unconscious, and

643
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: we didn't had no idea she was gonna lose consciousness

644
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: the next day. Um, it was because of procedure we

645
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: tried to do so we had no idea that was coming.

646
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: And my dad leaned over and asked my mom to

647
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: for forgiveness, and he had never done that, and all

648
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: ever since he left her for someone else, like, never

649
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: had said like, I'm sorry for doing that to you.

650
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: And my mom didn't have to have that. She had

651
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: forgiven him a long time ago. She didn't have to

652
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: have that. But that was another special thing, just part

653
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: of my upbringing, Like to be able to witness that,

654
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: to know is a kid like all you want is

655
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: for your dad to come back. That's all I ever wanted.

656
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: All ever wanted was Dad, just come back, get back

657
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: together with mom, like she forgives you. It's fine. And

658
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 1: then you grow up and you realize, you know that's

659
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: never gonna happen. And then to be able to witness

660
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: on your mom's deathbed her get what she always wanted,

661
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: which was just like I'm so sorry I did that

662
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: to you and and for my sister and I had

663
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: to witnessed that was pretty amazing. You mentioned North Carolina.

664
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: I think one of the luckiest things for me was

665
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: Amy moved. She quit. We had a going away party,

666
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: and I was It was a terrible time for me

667
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: because I just lost who I said then and still

668
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: say now is the best female on the radio, like

669
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: periods that I don't even know how that's possible. So

670
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: and so we had a going away party at Chewi's

671
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: in Austin. It was like I was It was like

672
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 1: I was sad, and Amy was moving with her husband.

673
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: He was deployed. My contract was coming up, and they

674
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: wanted to keep me. I just started building this indication

675
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: company with my own money. I had a little bit

676
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: of leverage, and I said I will stay if you

677
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: will build a studio for Amy in North Carolina. And

678
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: they were at the concept of it wasn't real, not

679
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: real at all, because it was never something that was

680
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: on the table. And I remember going to Amy saying, hey,

681
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: I kind of got a bent over here. Like we

682
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: were number one in Austin for ten years, like when

683
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: we were just in Austin, and and that's where we

684
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 1: grew as a show. We were tripling people in ratings.

685
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: So I had leverage, and so I said, I've got

686
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: to keep Amy because if I lose Amy, I don't

687
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. And I, you know, I

688
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: said earlier, like I would be lost with that Amy

689
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: on the show, and so they built our studio in

690
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: our house. For years years five years, she lived in

691
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: North Carolina from her house and she did the show.

692
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: Randy's never dropped a bit. She lived there and just

693
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: worked out of like a bedroom, right y'all. The first

694
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: the first two years, I did it in my attic

695
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: where it wasn't even finished out. My husband's sort of

696
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: like did a little bit of work on it to

697
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: rig it to make it work. But every morning, I

698
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: kid you not, I know, I went to the ceiling

699
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: and pulled down the little thing that you pulled down

700
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: out of the ceiling to climb up at a little

701
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: tiny ladder, and I would climb up, and then we

702
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: only have commercial breaks or songs for that matter, to

703
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: to use the restroom. And I would be up in

704
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: the dick and sometimes we'll be working and I'll be like,

705
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, and so I would tell I'll be

706
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: like if I'm not back, like call nine one one

707
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: because I fell through the attic and I'm not going

708
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: to make it back. So those were those were crazy times.

709
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: It used to be different for us too, because we

710
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: came so we started the show, and the luxury of

711
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: building a show from scratch and building a show with

712
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: your own money, which I was doing. Was that we

713
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: kinda do if we're ready to do if we wanted.

714
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: So we're playing no songs, maybe one song an hour.

715
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: It was a it was a full on talk show.

716
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah, right, we played like no, there

717
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: was no in The ratings were never high. The problem

718
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,959
Speaker 1: now is we're adding markets all the time and people

719
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: are new, and there are some cities they're like, guys,

720
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: if you guys would play no music, you're there ready

721
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: to be so much higher. And there's some cities were like,

722
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: you need a couple more songs because the people here

723
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: don't know you yet, and people don't like new people.

724
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: So it's a weird balance. But we were a talk

725
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: show for eight years. We played no music. It's quite

726
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: the US and so too when we came to Nashville,

727
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: which I had just moved back to Austin by the way. Yeah,

728
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: and the story about Amy was she had moved back

729
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: to Austin. We were pumped she moved back. I was

730
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: the only one that knew about the Nashville thing, and

731
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: for me, it wasn't a big deal because we we're

732
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: playing in the music anyway. So it wasn't like it

733
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: was a pop music to country music thing. And the

734
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: country music thing was easy, you know, that was the

735
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 1: easiest part of it all. It was actually just moving

736
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 1: homes and and friends and new people. But and there

737
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: never been a position like there is now. They're never

738
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: been a national country morning show. And so I couldn't

739
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: tell Amy, I can tell anybody. I's not a paper

740
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 1: that said you can't tell anybody. And so Amy's buying

741
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: a house. Yeah. I was so excited to be back

742
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: to Austin. I mean, I begged my house. He got

743
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: out of the Air Force after twelve years and he's

744
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: from Austin. I was like, can we please, we got

745
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: to move back to Austin. And he's like, oh, both

746
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: of our families they're like, that's crazy, we can't go

747
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: back to Austin. I'm like, well, we have to. That's

748
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: where that's where my job is. And you're a pilot,

749
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: you can live anywhere. So that's that's so that's what

750
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: we decided to do. And like we're putting a contract

751
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: on the house and Bobby calls me and it's like,

752
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: can you move to now? Well, luckily the house got rejected.

753
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: Something something fell through. Yeah, like listen, I don't know.

754
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that I believe in the buying. I

755
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: don't know, but what but it was just like something

756
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: fell through. So I had to go to Rod Phillips,

757
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: who's now oddly the head of Country, but he was

758
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: a guy like took the first real big chance on

759
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: me and say we have to tell Amy because nobody

760
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: else knew. For almost two months. Amy was the only

761
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: one who knew that I we were leaving, and so

762
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: I just couldn't have her buy another house. So they

763
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: just stayed in an apartment and nobody ever addressed it.

764
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: We just kind of kept it under locked. It's a

765
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: really weird time. Um. But then we moved and I

766
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: was like, hi, Austin. By Austin it was was there

767
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: for it's a matter of yeah, I moved there in September.

768
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: I was so worried though, because she had to go

769
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: to her husband and say, I just convinced you to

770
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: go to Austin now, when you please move to now?

771
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: I called him and I said we need to meet

772
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: at Maudie's for Margharita right now. And he's like why,

773
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, just meet me there and we met there

774
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: and I was like to Margharita's and I was like,

775
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: what do you think about Nashville? Neither of us had

776
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: ever even been to Nashville. And he was like, okay,

777
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: sounds cool. I was like, sweet and lucky, he has

778
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: a job live wherever. Like again, I don't know all

779
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: that divine mentioned or things happening for a reason, like

780
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you know are different in that way, but

781
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: it was just like all everything just kind of fell together.

782
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: So you grow up in Austin, you go to college

783
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: where Texas m Okay, so you spend how long? They're

784
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: three four and a half years? Did you? I thought

785
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 1: you went to a junior college too for a while.

786
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're right, So we'll what is that was

787
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: in college station? Our? It was in Brian Brian College Station.

788
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: I went to Blen, which is like the feeder junior

789
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: college in the A and M. Like most everybody, if

790
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: they're trying to get into a M, they'll go to Blind.

791
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: So high school yeah, kind of like was pretty social

792
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: in high school. Wasn't that great of a student? You know?

793
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: I was always hardy to class always. I mean, it's

794
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: just that I took the sat like three times. I

795
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: just focus, What did you make on the sum? I

796
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: think the highest I got was like like eleven hundred.

797
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 1: I went from like nine d uh, first time nine

798
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: fifty or something, and then the second time I actually

799
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: went down. But then the third time was charm I

800
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: went up and then but with that my g p

801
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: A still wasn't enough to get into an M. But

802
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: that's the only place I applied. I had high hope.

803
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: So then I went to Blend for a year. But

804
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: I was so embarrassed that I didn't get into texting

805
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: because all my friends were going to like, I don't know,

806
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: all kinds of crazy colleges all over the place because

807
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: I went to Austin High and they were all over

808
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: They're like, I'm gonna go to Harvard or whatever. I'm like, cool,

809
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a blind, which I loved. It was

810
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: good for me, is exactly what I needed. And I

811
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: left there with a three nine and got into A

812
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: and M immediately one year one year at Blenn, didn't graduate,

813
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: didn't know was three hours short. I walked across the

814
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: stage and um, I was doing a three hour like

815
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: correspondence course from Texas Tech. So back in the day. Um,

816
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: stuff wasn't online. You had to mail it in like

817
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: you would do it from your notebook and mail in. Well,

818
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 1: I was just really bad at mailing it in. Go figure.

819
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: So um. And then I walked across the stage. And

820
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: then I got a job because most people were like, oh, yeah,

821
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: you're done with school, and so I was like, well,

822
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't need to complete this three hour sociology class

823
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: from Texas Tech. And then I really But then I

824
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: also didn't want to ever own up to the fact

825
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: that I mean, I had my aggie ring I walked

826
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 1: across the stage, but I never wanted to another embarrassment

827
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: where I was like, oh my gosh, like I'm deceiving people.

828
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 1: I really was, and that ate me up. It bothered

829
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,280
Speaker 1: me so much because I mean, I was basically lying,

830
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: But I mean, I just didn't want to get in

831
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: the whole well in three hours short and I tried

832
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: to do it. So then finally I couldn't take it

833
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: any longer. So I during the show. So I enrolled

834
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: in school. I took I took my three hour sociology class,

835
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: and I submitted it to Texas A and M and

836
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,760
Speaker 1: they mailed me my diploma. So my diploma, my Aggie

837
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: ring says two thousand and three, which is my graduation year,

838
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: but my Texas A and M diploma says two thousand

839
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: and eight. It almost took me nine years to finish college.

840
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: You finished school and your first real job is what

841
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: granted sales? And what do you do as a granted

842
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: It was? I worked for a wholesale company, so we, uh,

843
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: there's an import export company. And I had, you know,

844
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: a set list of customers, most of them fabricators, and

845
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: I I would just take care of them, like whatever

846
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: they needed. I never worked with the end user like

847
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: you've got granted in your kitchen, like I didn't work

848
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: with you. I worked with probably whoever installed it, and UM,

849
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: just made sure they were taken care of. And um,

850
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:49,959
Speaker 1: she had to leave that job. She took a pay cut,

851
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: a big pay cut to come work for me. There's

852
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: big but it was I just asked for the thing

853
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: was I had just when Bobby offered me the job,

854
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: I was like, are you joking? And he's like no,

855
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: And I was like, I asked for a raise like

856
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: last week, and you have no idea how hard that

857
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: was for me because I didn't like asking for a raise,

858
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: but I knew I needed to do it because I

859
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: deserved it, and they were they were like, you're right,

860
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 1: you do. I was like, well that was easy. So

861
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: I got a raise, and then Bobby offered me a

862
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: job with less. We weren't making any money. No, none, no,

863
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: I mean none, none, But I mean I was on

864
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: cloud nine. I thought it was. I thought so much

865
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: like it didn't matter like I I you know, my

866
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: bills were minimal and I when we were young, and

867
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: I thought it was it was great. I had a

868
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: bunch of people put questions up on Instagram too. Um

869
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: so one says, what would you be doing now if

870
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: you didn't have your current job? We'll keep these answers

871
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: pretty quick. Always thought I was going to your mom, Yeah,

872
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: you still are going to still waiting. I always thought

873
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: once I even you know that for years, Like I

874
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: was like Bobby, once I get pregnant, I'm leaving the show,

875
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 1: you know that, right? What would you be doing? Um?

876
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: I probably doing create of like creating a campaigns or

877
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: i'd be stand up comic. You know. I maybe not

878
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: on the radio, but I would be creating. I'm a creator.

879
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I have no idea what I would be doing.

880
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: Let's see when Amy's babysitter starts having an affair with

881
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: her husband. Oh my gosh, what I don't know. I'm

882
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: just reading. That's not a question. What does this say? Okay? Cool? No, Nope,

883
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: they're asking if you and I will get together. Then

884
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: I didn't even get to that part because you stop me.

885
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: Someone asked Amy if she's still a practicing guitar. No,

886
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: that's miserable. Um, let's see, it was a nightmare. Let's

887
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 1: be honest. Here's one If Amy didn't approve of someone

888
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: you were dating, would you trust start instincting in the relationship?

889
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: Would you We've never had that issue, though, I don't

890
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: think Yeah, I don't think so, because you typically have. Well,

891
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: any girl I've known you that you've dated is she's

892
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: always been pretty amazing dating as in real life. I've

893
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: been on dates with girls and I may not ever

894
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: even know them, but I mean real life relationships. You've

895
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: always like, man, that bar is high. Um, it's never

896
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 1: been a thing. Right. And here's the thing too, When

897
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: I date someone, Amy ends up being friends with them

898
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: longer than I date them. Did you speaking of do

00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: you would be there for each other if you needed

914
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: to be. But I get the there's you know it's note. No,

915
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: we haven't actually spoken in a long time. I just

916
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: think it's easier for who. I don't know, but I

917
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 1: feel like it's easier. It'd be better if I didn't.

918
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 1: But I do know. Yes, I didn't know that it

919
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: was her birthday. Um, let's see. People are posting comments

920
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: on Instagram. Might you have anything over there? Bobby here?

921
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: Are you dating? We want to know? She doesn't know. Amy, No,

922
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: I'm not dating anybody, but right now I have a

923
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: special friend. But I feel like I find it interesting

924
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: that today you put the label you put the special friendly.

925
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: It's just it's complicated, that's all I'll say. It's a

926
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: complicated situation. Would you not agree? And listeners are like, hey,

927
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: what are you doing a little bit? I'm having fun,

928
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 1: you know, with the picture and stuff, because it's fun,

929
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: but also it's like, I'm also hanging out with somebody

930
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: and I'm posting a picture of me just having fun

931
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 1: on Instagram? Am so? And we should all just be

932
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: glad Bobby's having fun. I mean, how many times do

933
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 1: we hear Bobby's saying having fun? Um? Yeah, so yeah, yeah, um? Amy,

934
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: How did you meet your husband? We grew up together

935
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 1: at church. Our parents are friends, and my sister is

936
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 1: married to his best friend, and so they I was

937
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: always the annoying little sister. So I'm younger than him,

938
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: but then I grew up here says Lunchbox talks less.

939
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: Why so um, Eddie talks a lot more. Eddie had

940
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: the kids and the dad and our audience went from

941
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 1: being nineteen year old to now our age and up

942
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: to forty year olds, and so there's only so much

943
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: room to talk. And there's me and there's Amy, and

944
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: then it's just kind of whoever else has something, and

945
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: Eddie has kids and is very relatable and they do

946
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: all these research and Eddie's the one that the parents

947
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: relate to. So because of that, because that he's so

948
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: relatable and people really really really like Eddie and that

949
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: he's just a great dude to people. I'm not not

950
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: saying they did, but people hate lunch Box. That's comments.

951
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: There's no hate on Eddie in any sort of people

952
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: research the crap out of us. Lunchbox does have very

953
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: strong negatives against him, but very positive positible but um,

954
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,479
Speaker 1: super funny and a hot mess at the same time.

955
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's because Eddie has taken a large role

956
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: on the show because he's a dad with kids, and

957
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: listeners relate to him and does a great job to

958
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 1: Eddie's fantastic on the air. So it's not about lunch

959
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 1: talking less. It's kind of Eddie talking more. You've got

960
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: not a little bit. Everybody's just gotta kind of piece

961
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: and you know what, every day everybody fights for not

962
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: fights on the air, but everybody is like submitting things

963
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: to me to talk about. So it's a competition every

964
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: day to get on the air. I don't just go

965
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: I gotta give Lunchbox two segments. Lunchbox may have eight

966
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: segments a show. If he says, if he has eight

967
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: great things to talk about, I will go to all

968
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: aid of them. If he doesn't, I'll go to zero.

969
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: Just uh. Sometimes Amie came to me and was like, Hey,

970
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: what's the deal. You're not looking at me as much?

971
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: And I was, and I was like, what do you mean.

972
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't realize this. All I do. I go to

973
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 1: the hot hand and I think my strength is I

974
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: don't have to be the star of the show, like

975
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: I bring in stars and let them be the star.

976
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 1: So I did think, and I'm happy to sit and

977
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: laugh and let Amy or Lunchbox Eddie just be the

978
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: star and it's their segment in there. And Amy was mad.

979
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: I was weird. It was weird. I was confused. I

980
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: was feeling I guess I was probably feeling down, and

981
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: I was I wanted to know, like what am I

982
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: doing wrong? Like what what did I say the vibe

983
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,359
Speaker 1: is off, something's not right, Like you just said, I

984
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: have to go to where we have a show to do,

985
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: and I have to go to where it's strong and

986
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: right now, Eddie strong and Eddie was and I was

987
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: like and I just had to take a deep breath

988
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, well then I've got to

989
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, I guess it's you know, and as a girl,

990
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: you can build up all these different things in your head,

991
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: like before I went to Bobby and got that straight

992
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 1: answer of like, we have a show to do, this

993
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: is work, and Eddie's strong, So that's where I'm going

994
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: to look. In my head, I'm like, oh my gosh,

995
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, I've created all these fake scenarios as to

996
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: why Bobby's not looking at me, you know. And it

997
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: was it was just talking, and I would talk. And

998
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes in our work relationship, that's just

999
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: how like sometimes I'll be like, hey, what's going on

1000
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: with this and be like, well, if you wanted to know,

1001
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,959
Speaker 1: just ask, and I'm like, okay, that's a problem. Yeah.

1002
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: And I mean and I about once every four or

1003
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: five months have a conversation of, uh, what's bugging you? Right?

1004
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: Because I think, you know, I think of it as

1005
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,760
Speaker 1: a couple like time. A lot of times you can,

1006
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, have an argument. You know that my husband,

1007
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 1: I can have an argument and I know he's going

1008
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: to love me unconditionally. Like I feel like I can

1009
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: act a certain way around him that none of you

1010
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: will ever see ever And I feel secure in that

1011
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: because he loves me and he's not gonna abandon me,

1012
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: and I don't think and um, but but you know

1013
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: with other relationships where it's like your dating, but you

1014
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: don't have that you you you freak you you you

1015
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 1: don't have Sometimes you freak out a little bit more

1016
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: and you have to again create false scenarios and then

1017
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: you just have to hash it out every once in a

1018
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,280
Speaker 1: a while because you're not having those regular like little

1019
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: you knows what is your perception of Amy? And I like,

1020
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: because you've interned with the show, you've produced the show

1021
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: from Afar as an affiliate. Now we moved you here

1022
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: and you live and you see um, so you've been

1023
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: on all sides of it. Yeah. I mean for me,

1024
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: it's just been crazy to see you guys kind of

1025
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:57,240
Speaker 1: like grow together and just be like best friends throughout

1026
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: at all and I don't know, it's kind of inspiring,

1027
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: you know way and I don't know, I think that's awesome.

1028
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: How really, how you just founder randomly and how kind

1029
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: of how you found everybody it was just people you

1030
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: found and how it's you know, worked out so well, yeah,

1031
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 1: you're you're pretty random. I don't have to wrap Amy up.

1032
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: This is a difference than the podcast. I'm just taking

1033
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: my hand and rap to the rap signal because sometimes

1034
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: on the air, yeah, like what's happening? He's not cutting

1035
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: me off it up? Oh my gosh, when you hear

1036
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,919
Speaker 1: the music with talking, when I tell you when the song,

1037
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: when the song starts playing, stop talking, because I mean

1038
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: they're about to start singing. My favorite thing to listen

1039
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: for with Amy talking over like like yeah, you hit

1040
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: a clip and you still hear it. Let's struggle with

1041
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: that a little bit. What happens off the mic mike, Like,

1042
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: we know what happens off the mic, but again you're newer.

1043
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: What happens off the mic when we're not in the here.

1044
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: I mean it's pretty much the same. Like it's just like, really,

1045
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: when the MIC's go off, everybody still talks the same.

1046
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 1: You also talk about the same stuff. And then I

1047
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: think that's what kind of when people come sitting on

1048
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 1: the show. Sometimes you don't know when the show is

1049
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 1: going on or when it's like there our bosses don't

1050
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: when the children don't start talking, and I'm like, we're

1051
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: on the You're not just chilling and talking on the air,

1052
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:24,479
Speaker 1: just like when all are talking regular. No, it's cool.

1053
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: Do you have any questions for me? You don't have

1054
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: to know. I just wonder if there's anything you wanted

1055
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: to dig out, like dr Film Moment here Amy has

1056
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 1: a podcast by the way. Yeah, well you just asked

1057
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: me if any questions for you? And then when well

1058
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 1: you were stall, I was gonna van and promote your podcast.

1059
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: What you thought of something? Okay, go for it. Well

1060
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: so you can, I'll let you talk with podcasts, but

1061
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: go ahead, okay. Well, I mean only because I'm getting

1062
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: hit with it left and right about about the girl,

1063
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: and this is the last time I'm bringing it up.

1064
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: But I know that it's not like you know, it

1065
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: is complicated. What are you talking about? Actually your special friend,

1066
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: your podcast special special friend? Just first because I'm getting

1067
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 1: I get hit with it from all angles and I

1068
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: feel like it's my job to kind of you know, um,

1069
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: it's for real. I know that it's complicated, but but

1070
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: do you think that one day we'll we'll get figured

1071
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: out and then it'll be less complicated with this or

1072
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: in general in life with this. I don't know, you

1073
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: really don't know. I hope, okay, you hope. I like that.

1074
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: I like to have great people around me, and I

1075
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: cut out any one that's negative. Mm hm. You know

1076
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: we've been to get along enough. If there's negativity in

1077
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: the room, it goes away right like for you're listening

1078
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: to this podcast now, and you know, I mean, I

1079
00:55:57,520 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: wish we could just give this tomorrow knife to go

1080
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: in and be all right, this is going to be.

1081
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 1: But there have been instances where at times or there

1082
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,359
Speaker 1: have been people that bring in negative energy into the room,

1083
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:10,839
Speaker 1: they don't stay in the room, or they don't stay

1084
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: on the show. And there you've set such a precedence

1085
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: for that too that there's been times where I have

1086
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 1: to like check myself and I know it, and you'll

1087
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: almost you would like sniff Bobby like sniffs me like

1088
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 1: a dog. You know, like no, it's not like that,

1089
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: but he'll he'll know. I mean, sometimes I try to

1090
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: hide it, but I'm very hard, very bad. In three

1091
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: I know if she's in a bad happy mood, if

1092
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: at the time of a month, if it's if she

1093
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: had a fight, if and then he'll ask like, is

1094
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: everything okay? And then we hate that question, and then

1095
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: I try to fake it, and then I can't fake it,

1096
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: and then I fake it some more and then just

1097
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: then I explode. But sometimes I have to almost like mentally,

1098
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 1: I'll be driving into work and if I know that

1099
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: I feeling negative or my heart's in a bad place,

1100
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: or I'm just like grumpy because it's really and I'm

1101
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:04,439
Speaker 1: not a warning person or whatever. Like I I get

1102
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: my game base off and I'm driving to work, and

1103
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: I I will recite the fruits of the spirit of

1104
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: my head, like over and over my own work. I

1105
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: turned off the radio and I grabbed this steinge when

1106
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: I look ahead, and I'm like love, joy, peace, patients,

1107
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: kind of gonness, gentle in his face from the self control.

1108
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: And I say that over and over and over so

1109
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: that I show up. And when I see Bobby, I'm

1110
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: not like, you know, bringing in negativity because it's no joke,

1111
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: Like he doesn't have time for that. We don't time

1112
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: for that. There's no time for someone to bring the

1113
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,439
Speaker 1: rest of the room down one. It's just not good

1114
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: for business and wants to be that the Debbi downer.

1115
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 1: And it's also not fun. And if we're not having fun,

1116
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: our listeners are not having fun. And that's the first

1117
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 1: rule of anything we do on the show. And there's

1118
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: times you have to be the business like, you have

1119
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: to be that person and that's that I couldn't do it. Yeah,

1120
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: it's really hard sometimes from you know, from even the

1121
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: Carlos stuff. That's really difficult for me, so hard because

1122
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: he was a close friend that it just didn't work

1123
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: out professionally, great guy and it was one of the

1124
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: first podcasts that we did. Um. You know, there have

1125
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: been times with everyone where we've I've had to be

1126
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: with the boss and you legit regardless of what people think,

1127
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: you have a legit. Sometimes had to take me aside

1128
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: and they're like, get it together. Yeah, but you it's different.

1129
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: You work harder than everybody else on that show. I

1130
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: don't think, so what okay, you work harder at making

1131
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: that show a full show than anybody else on that show.

1132
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: Everybody has specialties that they're great at and everybody puts

1133
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 1: in a lot of time, Like you're not gonna beat

1134
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,919
Speaker 1: Ray in sitting in a studio putting audio. He's gonna

1135
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 1: be there. But Ray would do that, or he'd go

1136
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: sell cable, or he would pump gas. Ray just finds

1137
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: his thing and just does does a But that's a specialty.

1138
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: Everybody has their specialty with Amy. She's such a full

1139
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: part of the show that if I don't have it

1140
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: coming from her, I don't have it, Like it's just

1141
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: not there. And when Amy left, ratings took a hit,

1142
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: and partially it's because she was gone, and partially it

1143
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: was because it's freaking out because she was gone, and

1144
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: so um oh, like when I left because my mom, Yeah,

1145
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: because you were gone for a couple of months. Um

1146
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't even know what that

1147
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: but yeah, there's no negativity. And there are times we

1148
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 1: have to take people to the side and be the

1149
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: boss and not just that and say hey, you're not

1150
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: the other the I don't won't get specifics. The other

1151
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: night I had to have words with the entire show

1152
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 1: because it's like, if you're going to go and do

1153
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: this fun thing, Michael, if you're gonna go and do

1154
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: this thing and work. You can't not do your show work.

1155
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: And there's when I gotta like they're gonna be the friend.

1156
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: You can answer that if you you answer it, and yeah,

1157
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 1: it's a weird dynamic to be but with you, I've

1158
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: found it to be the easiest to be direct and

1159
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: not worried about any sort of odd interpretation because I

1160
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: can go directly to you. It's exactly how I feel,

1161
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: and I don't have to worry about you. I know

1162
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna be sensitive about it, but I know you're

1163
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: gonna get over at the quickest and you're not gonna

1164
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: hold a grudge. You're gonna be the most sensitive, but

1165
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna get over at the quickest. Yeah. Sure, I'm sensitive.

1166
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm delicate, but it's like I have to put on

1167
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: my amy gloves, gloves and too. She also knows how

1168
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: to handle me because I'm I really am a nutcase.

1169
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,080
Speaker 1: So I'm mess. So we'll be doing in the countdown.

1170
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: I'll give you example. Today we're doing the countdown. We

1171

01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: can't you follow along? And I'm like yelling at myself

01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: in my head and Bobby's like just continuing on and

1183
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: he comes to me again, but I'm too yelling at

1184
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: myself so that I'm not in the right spot again. Life.

1185

Speaker 1: listening to this and this will be up forever and

1187
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: um I forever, forever, forever. You know, you're in the

1188
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 1: process of adopting two children right now. It's been a

1189
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: three year process. Um yeah, three and a half years.

1190
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: And at any time maybe we'll be gone for a

1191
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and um, I can't wait for you

1192
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: to be gone, like from you way more. Listen with you.

1193
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 1: It's this is your life and you've been one of

1194
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: these kids so bad. But I don't think that I've

1195
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: ever wanted something for someone so bad ever. And I

1196
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 1: still don't want as much as you want them for

1197
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 1: you because they're your kids. But I don't think that

1198
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: I have wanted something for someone so much ever. There's

1199
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: just no one more deserving to be a mom. And

1200
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: and if I have to, well, I know you. Yeah.

1201
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: Bobby's always like, what do we need to do? Who

1202
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: do we need what? I'm like, Bobby, we're doing everything.

1203
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: I will take care of like I know people let me.

1204
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: She's like, no, they'll take care of it. Got an agency,

1205
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: We're doing everything that protocol. And I've even gotten in

1206
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 1: trouble by them a couple of times. Um for going rogue. Uh,

1207
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: just because I have relationships in Haiti and I've kind

1208
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: of learned my lesson. So I'm trying to be good.

1209
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't want to jeopardize anything because

1210
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: these are lives, you know. I want to a couple

1211
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: of things I want to address before we go because

1212
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: we fit the hour mark. But dang, um two things

1213
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: one for us. Pimp Enjoy is such a big movement.

1214
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: It's it's such a large scale giving endeavor that we say.

1215
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: And when I say we, I don't mean we in

1216
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: this room or we in that studio. We as a

1217
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: group of listeners UM are able to do. And you know,

1218
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 1: it started we were looking you guys were looking for

1219
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: um a Twitter handle for your mom and end up

1220
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: being Judy be Pimp and Joy and so Judy chooses

1221
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: Joy was taken, so we kept pimp and Joy and

1222
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: so that was amy. It was like, you know, pimp

1223
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: and Joy and so you you, you came, You came

1224
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: with the hashtag you came. It was really special actually

1225
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: because you know, uh, my mom's cancer just returned for

1226
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: like the third time or something, and we were doing

1227
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: to do our first anniversary Joy Week and You're like, hey,

1228
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: I want to dedicate Joy Week to your mom because

1229
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: she's kind of inspired the joy theme, and we're going

1230
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 1: to use the hashtag pimp and Joy because of her

1231
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: Twitter handle. And I was like, oh my gosh. And

1232
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 1: then from that like everything rolled out and it's been

1233
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: it's almost it's been something you know for me, I

1234
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 1: feel like I've always you know, relied on there's a

1235
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 1: verse romans just a paraphrase. It's like God's gonna work

1236
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 1: for the good of those who love them and those

1237
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: that are called according to His purpose. Like, there's gonna

1238
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:10,959
Speaker 1: be hard things in life, but I know that there's

1239
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 1: going to be good that come from it. And that

1240
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: was almost like the prayer my mom had in the

1241
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: chapel the day that the cancer came back again. She said, Lord,

1242
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: just use this for good. Just use this for good.

1243
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: Whatever you do, just use this for good. And so

1244
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: every time a Pimp and Enjoy item is sold, or

1245
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: every time someone is pimp and Enjoy stuff, or someone

1246
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 1: is spreading joy or choosing joy for themselves, like, m

1247
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 1: I know it's so much bigger than that now, but

1248
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: still not lost on us. It's it's still not lost,

1249
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: but I get that it's kind of taken legs of

1250
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: its own, and it's it's the shows, but like for

1251
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: me and my family, like every time we see that,

1252
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: I just need y'all to know. I mean, it's it's

1253
01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: it's My brain instantly goes to my mom being like, Lord,

1254
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: just use this for good. And so every time that

1255
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: Pimp and Joy is used, so I'm like, it's been

1256
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 1: used for good. Your cancer sucked, cancer sucks, but this

1257
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: is something that was used for good and it's continuing,

1258
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: like it will continue even with the word pimp in

1259
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: which is controversial, and I get it. I do think

1260
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 1: this was one of the examples of us having different

1261
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: strengths and then working together because you came and told

1262
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 1: the story to me first about your mom and the

1263
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 1: prayer and we will and it was like, I want

1264
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 1: to do Joy week for your mom hashtag Pimp and Joy.

1265
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 1: And then we have a great friend named Mary Barnes

1266
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: and it's it's been us three that have been running

1267
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: Pimp and Joy and we don't keep any of the

1268
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:53,919
Speaker 1: money and we find causes and we're able to help

1269
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 1: and we meaning not us in the room, not us

1270
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 1: in the studio, but the people that listen to this

1271
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: to buy the hats that we don't keep any of

1272
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 1: the money for ourselves and we never will. And for me,

1273
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 1: it was that little moment for you and your mom

1274
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: and it was how in the world can we take

1275
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: this and make this a monster for greatness? And we

1276
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: are still building and we're we're not because it has

1277
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 1: but just because it already is, our listeners have allowed it,

1278
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: they've created it, and everyone's embraced it. If it's a

1279
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 1: dog that needs a surgery, or a family that needs

1280
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 1: food or a flood, or Christmas gifts for a kid,

1281
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: if it's St. Jude, you guys have been able to

1282
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 1: do that. And it's just like the perfect storm of

1283
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: things that have happened, um, that have allowed it. And

1284
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: and I'm appreciative. Oh I'm so yeah, I'm beyond And

1285
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: it's crazy how big it has gotten. Um, yeah, of

1286
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 1: just T shirts and hats, because it's so it's so

1287
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 1: much bigger than that. Yeah, and it's it's yeah, it's me.

1288
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: It's a dumb it's a dumb name. It's a dumb word,

1289
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: but it's means it means so much more than that

1290
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 1: word means. So I mean, for if you listen to this,

1291
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: thank you, And then, um, I'm gonna talk about your

1292
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 1: podcast for a second, because um I listen. I've been

1293
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: telling Ammy forever like you got to start doing your

1294
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: own thing too. You're not just my psydekick. You are

1295
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: strong enough to go that. You're so good. And so

1296
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 1: Amy has a podcast now that she hosts, so talk

1297
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 1: about that. Let's for love what Matters, which is a

1298
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 1: positive place we do tell me something good on the show,

1299
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 1: Like every it's well, I didn't steal it. Maybe they did,

1300
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: but I didn't know. I'm just kidding about Love What

1301
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 1: Matters formed and they have a pretty big Facebook following

1302
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 1: and people. They have a website where people can submit

1303
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: the stories that feel good stories to inspire, to motivate,

1304
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: and and they saw the impact they were having and

1305
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 1: they decided they wanted to have a podcast. So they

1306
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: started asking around. They have relationships and radio. The guys

1307
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 1: live in in New York, and I guess they talked

1308
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 1: to some of our people and then it trinkled down

1309
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 1: to you. And they kept asking for a name of

1310
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: who they should reach out to, and they kept hearing

1311
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 1: some girl named Amy that works for boy Bobby, and

1312
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 1: I was like what, I don't know, And then Bobby

1313
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: was like, you have to do this, you have to

1314
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 1: do this. I'm like, okay, I guess I guess I

1315
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:32,679
Speaker 1: could do it. And so we're actually tomorrow. A new

1322
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,760
Speaker 1: What I love seeing about it because we're running out

1323
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 1: of time here, is that this is an Amy thing.

1324
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 1: It's not a Bobby thing. It's just and I don't

1325
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:02,759
Speaker 1: want it, and you've been Yeah, I almost so scared.

1326
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 1: Bobby didn't want because he wasn't really saying much about it,

1327
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,640
Speaker 1: and he's the one that you know, supported me doing it.

1328
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, do you want me to do it

1329
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: or not? Because you're not you're not saying anything about it.

1330
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 1: And you're like, that's the point. This is something I

1331
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: want you to do. That's you know, if you and

1332
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: even I know exactly said because this is something you

1333
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: tell yourself. You're like, you need to go after it

1334
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 1: with everything. If it fails, it fails because of you,

1335
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 1: or if it's a success, it's a success because of you.

1336
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 1: Isn't that what you told me? It's true, It's true.

1337
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 1: I don't want people going, well, Bobby was promoting right,

1338
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's why you're like now bringing

1339
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 1: it up on the podcast. I don't think that's not

1340
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 1: it at all, but people on the podcast and I

1341
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 1: actually think it's really great. Um and but yeah, it's

1342
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: it's definitely a you thing. And what's it's cool is

1343
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: the company uses you more by yourself like it's wonderful.

1344
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 1: I love it, like I can't get a knife enough

1345
01:09:56,080 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 1: of it. Well, I don't want to because I don't jealousy,

1346
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: zerope or cent like. I don't like a lot of

1347
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: the stuff that I do anything boys like I need

1348
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 1: a rap held me out here. Um So anyway, Mike,

1349
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:15,559
Speaker 1: we're gonna wrap anything that we didn't hit that you think. Um,

1350
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what we talked about, but it was

1351
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: it anything that we'd like to know? Who does the

1352
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 1: show recap? Here? Do you remember when I used to

1353
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: type the show recap every day? You guys listening, we

1354
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 1: don't do anymore. But let's not bring that back during

1355
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 1: the ship And then sometimes we do it after the

1359
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:43,679
Speaker 1: microphone and there was another microphone, lunchbuck to have a microphone.

1360
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 1: It's crazy to think of now and people you know,

01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 1: depending who you talk to another radio dj IS and

1362
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:53,320
Speaker 1: other other companies you know, we're the big bad guy

1363
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: because we're the biggest show in the format and one

1364
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 1: of the biggest in the country, and that's great, and

1365
01:10:57,920 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 1: we were I'm happy to be there, and I'm happy

1366
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: to be uh the ambassador for the format, and I'm

1367
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: happy to be whatever whatever I get called, from good

1368
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: to bad, to the savior to the worst person in

1369
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 1: the format, I get called it all, all of it,

1370
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:13,600
Speaker 1: and happy for it. What I'm happy is about is

1371
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: that we started. We weren't supposed to make it. It It

1372
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 1: was just some friends in a room that was about

1373
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 1: a third of the size of this tiny bedroom they're

1374
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 1: in right now. But with your your work ethic in

1375
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: the way, you kind of again are the you. You

1376
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 1: allow us to be us, but yet you control us

1377
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: at the same not not control, but you contain us,

1378
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 1: like you keep us there. But it's you you are

1379
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 1: really good at It is a craft, I know it

1380
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 1: just it is organic and we are just being us.

1381
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 1: But at the same time you're kind of piecing everything

1382
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 1: together and you do it well. But at the same time,

1383
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: you know you've you've allowed the show to be used

1384
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 1: for good and you continue to do that and you

1385
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 1: get more of that as time goes on, and that's

1386
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 1: exciting to see as we grow, the more you want

1387
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 1: to do for others and then also what you do

1388
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 1: for what you do for artists. I don't I'm not
