That's 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.920 far for episode ten. We didn't know if we'd make 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.640 it this far, so we celebrated and co hosted at 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:20.480 the Bobby Bones Show. Amy's here today. Hello. Okay, it's weird. 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:26.040 What I don't know? So Amy's here and I figured 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.639 we will just kind of talk about you. And Amy 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.279 has her own podcast to which we'll talk about a bit. Um. 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:33.800 That's why she was begging to come on the show 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:39.600 so she could promote it and no begging E And uh, Mike, 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.800 you can kick it off here. Uh, it's Amy. Now. 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:44.600 We do a show together every day for five hours. 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:48.280 Today sitting basically this close, so today's dynamic will be 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.800 slightly different. Um, but I'll go ahead and we'll start 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.120 with you, Mike, Mike d Our, producer, go ahead. Question one, 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.400 When you first met Amy, what wasn't it about her 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.320 that kind of stood out TV like you had to 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:03.640 have her on the show. I think this She was unapologetic, 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.040 but not in the way that most times people say 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.160 that where they come across as crass or rude. She 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:15.559 was just unapologetic. At she was clumsy and nice and 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:23.360 Christian and just authentic, but you know, just just she 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.800 just was who she was and that was it. So yeah, 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.600 I think that was kind of the same thing that 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.520 today is still like the reason that I enjoyed being 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.080 around her, So that still hadn't changed. We were on 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:40.120 flying this past weekend. We were Heart Festival and I 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.920 guess Amy was having a moment or something and she 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.119 was like, I just needed you to fill my cup 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.080 up and I was like, are you talking about and so, 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.240 but well, things have changed a lot. Yeah, they changed 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:56.360 a lot and a lot. This is fittingly the tenth 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.640 episode of your podcast. We've been together. I mean, we've 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.800 been friends longer, but I've how long we've been doing 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.960 the show together. Over ten years, but I'm in my 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.960 tenth going on eleventh year. But it's a long time. 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:09.799 So I mean a lot of changed for both of us. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.840 And I don't mean that in a way like you've changed, 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.800 but it's just we've gotten older, our lives have shifted. 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.639 You've got so much more going on. And we used 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.400 to be I think together a lot more or even 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.840 we were traveled a lot more, and we were so 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:28.040 inseparable that people thought we had an affair forever. I 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.360 mean it still comes up all the time. Oh no, 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.240 I mean it doesn't. So I mean if it does, 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.640 it's so nothing. We don't I don't even see its, like, 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.000 like what that's crazy, Well, I don't even see it. 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.840 But it wasn't it all the time our first years 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.160 of being together, it was all the thing. And I 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:49.520 wrote in my book, but nothing has ever happened with 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.880 us like ever and forever. Even people in our building 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.120 will be like, oh, for sure, they're doing it. But 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.079 we were just really really really close all the time. 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.400 And um, I think a lot of that was we 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.880 were young. We didn't have a lot of other things 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:12.320 going on. Um I met Amy well the first time cover. Yeah, 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:13.799 And I feel like I've told this story a lot, 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:15.440 but I was at a restaurant and she came up 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.560 and so, um, to just answer your question when we 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.760 can go back around, but um, yeah, it's just unapologetic, 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:28.000 just she is who she is. And again, yeah, it 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.200 was good to actually spend quality time whereas you and 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:32.960 I get to talk, Amy, I get to talk about 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.360 ourselves every day, we do. But we're sitting in a 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.480 room together in my office where we have a side 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.040 studio and we're kind of commercials and we're going quick 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.320 and it's a little comments and we we text all 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.880 the time, but again, we used to spend for you 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:51.640 was like, that's like the thing that Amy gets on 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.360 me for is that and not in a bad way, 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.800 and that where she has grown in her personal life 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.320 with a husband and about to have two kids, and 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:05.000 lots of what I've grown in my professional life. I'm 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:10.080 not backing on that a little bit. But you're super busy. 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.120 So it goes from you know, I was doing the 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.200 radio show to uh, turning the radio show and then 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.400 turn it into a national radio show and turning that 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.840 national radio show and shifting and moving the whole show 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:25.159 over from there. Starting the Raging Idiots is just a 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:31.400 two person parody band. It's turned into record deal books. Um, 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.160 so it's just a lot of things which has required 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.080 a lot of people to help me because I can't 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.640 do it all by myself from outside of the building. 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.080 So like I have like I call my babysitter. I 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.240 have a manager now and and I'll admit some of that, 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.320 some of that I struggled with a little bit, I 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.280 think any not because I'm not proud of you or anything, 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.760 but I think you know, we started out, We're in 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:58.040 one market. We managed ourselfs like there was nobody. Everything 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.880 was just like us, which I think sometimes when all 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.279 of this stuff started to change the last few years, 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.400 whereas I used to be able to come to you 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.600 for stuff, you almost didn't even know your own schedule, 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.599 and rightfully so it's not so. So I had a 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:16.440 problem like embracing the fact that I had to reach 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.080 out to other people because I'm like, oh no, no, 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.280 I've been friends and I know. So I was like, 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.640 you know, and now and now it's just easier, And 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.240 now I'm like, I love it. I love that other 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.520 people like know everything because then I can get an 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.800 answer and it's legit and it's right, and it's quick 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.880 because he doesn't know it's certainly so. Um, now I've 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.920 embraced it. I don't know my schedule day to day 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.000 most of the time. I just know that it's there's 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.839 rarely fifteen minutes. We'll call it growing pains. Um. That's 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:45.640 been the weirdest thing for I think us as a 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.200 team growing pains and Amy has been my absolute closest 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.520 friend for the past ten years, like overall my closest 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.960 friends and um, but yeah, the growing pains have been. 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:59.520 But listen, you have gotten married. I'm not don't take 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.800 this Frison. It's not personal saying on the other side 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.760 of it. Um, it's not like because we have to 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.440 just go hang out and have dinner and eat lunch, 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:10.360 and but now you have weekends you're off in Haiti 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.360 or you're dealing with kids stuff or and that's been. 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.080 That's been a lot, that's been heavy, that's been. I 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:20.200 think once they get here, I feel like some of 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.039 you will resume back to normal. I feel like a 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.560 lot it's going to change your game. My normal will 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:29.080 be different. But I feel like right now I'm in 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.120 such a place where like half of my heart is 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.320 here and half of it's in Haiti, So I don't 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:41.400 really feel complete. We started together on the same page 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.640 and we have grown together very much so, but we've 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:48.120 also kind of spread in different ways. So and she 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:49.440 just gets mad that she has to go to more 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.840 than and be like, hey, Bobby Free, I'm not mad anymore. 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.520 I like it now, and I'll be like, I don't know. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.760 At the beginning, I was like, no, I don't go 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.320 through people. I go through you, and then now I 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.800 wouldn't know the and then would he would be so 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.360 busy he wouldn't know. And then now I'm like, bring 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.880 on the people. It has been a change. But if 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.240 I didn't have these people like looking over my career, 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:16.080 I wouldn't be able to manage it, like tour managers 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:20.400 and booking and totally I get it. I get it. 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:24.640 That's one. Yes, um that that is what drew me 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.960 to her. Do you want to know Jimmy to Bobby, Yeah, 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.200 I have no idea. I didn't even know he was 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.160 gonna offer me really a job on the radio. I 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.160 didn't offer a job for a long time. And not 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.320 to repeat things that we've said over and over again, 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:39.360 but I did not offer Amy the job first, like 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.160 I only want to hire my friends or people that 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.040 I'm comfortable with. And I met Amy at Culver's and 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.160 we got to know each other for like six or 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.720 seven months, and we were friends, and I was just 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.360 making sure that and I had started dating my husband 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.280 right at the same time. But then Bobby and I 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.400 would like hang out and I would be like, I 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.720 don't know, I mean, I'm gonna go to dinner and 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:01.880 then one time we went to the movies and then 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.000 went saw cars. Yeah, that was that came out. And 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.320 then oh gosh, one time I was on the phone 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.680 with my head. Well he wasn't my husband yet. We 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:13.000 were just dating, like newly dating, don't We weren't even Yeah, 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:16.160 we weren't engaged because we got engaged shortly after newly dating. 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:21.520 And I called my husband Bobby oh at the time, 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:25.400 boyfriend or whatever, and it was like because Bobby and 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.640 I were spending so much time together and then out 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.640 of nowhere, I just he were on the phone and 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.880 I just said, oh, Bob, okay Bobby, and I mean, 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.719 I mean, that's not your name, but that's how much 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.240 time we were spending together. And then one night we 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:38.760 went to dinner and You're like, I'm here to offer 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.680 you a job. Yeah, And so that was what happened, 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.240 and there we are, all right, what are you doing? 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:51.000 And it went down for some reason. Um, alright, Mike, 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.720 you have another question going, well, Amy, you never did 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.920 radio before, so like, did Bobby trained you? And when 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:02.480 you started? How was that process? No? Okay, okay, okay, okay, 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.680 well I take that back. Yes, everything I know today 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:10.120 is that is worth anything in radio. I have learned 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.240 from Bobby, so yes, but I wouldn't say there was 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:17.840 like this radio boot camp. I feel like what Bobby 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.480 was doing when he selected friends to join him was 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.200 he wanted us to be us. He didn't want training 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:35.040 or you to yeat rough because we're not like I was, 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.720 speech impediment. Um, it's not even just status that even 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:40.520 on my side, I don't know anything other than what 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.640 I've done. I haven't. No one taught me how to 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.880 do a morning show. They just took a year old 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.440 kids said okay, here's the show, and so I started 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:50.719 doing it. No one taught me how to do it, 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:52.840 and then I had brought people on. No one taught 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:54.280 anyone had to do anything. So that's why the show 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:58.360 sounds so oddly rough and fantastic at the same time. 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.400 In different times, it would be a terrible joking me 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.120 a great show. Um, what what I don't understand? What 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.199 do you to me? You never answered, Oh, we moved on, 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.200 But I was just thinking. I didn't. I wasn't. I 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.880 just I thought you were funny, I mean, and when 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:13.680 you offered me a job in radio, of course I 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.440 thought that was fun and I was like years old. 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:18.880 I had a nice and deep answer. Hers was like, 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:23.280 you offered me a job? What else might so how 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.200 would you say? Yes? Friendship has changed over the years 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.079 with you know, everything kind of getting on a you know, 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.720 a show is getting on a bigger scale, and you 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:36.520 guys don't like, are you a closer now or is 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.120 it I put one more pressure on Amy than anybody 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:44.600 else on the show, like significantly? Oh yeah, of course, 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:50.400 Like without Amy first there, I mean, there's no show. 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.400 Well that's that's not true. And I've told her, I've 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:58.400 told her that privately twenty times that without Amy, the 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:03.120 show just isn't a sick says And so I know 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.160 that I know where my bread's buttered when we do 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.480 a radio show, and she makes me a better radio 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:09.920 personality and he makes me a better person, and those 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.440 two things go together because I try to be a 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.199 better person. And if i'm I mean I am who 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.880 I am on the radio to Bobby is some like 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:22.480 rare genius that knows what's gonna work and what's gonna 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:24.840 sound good. Now does everything began out? No? But he 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:28.200 can he can take what we submit to talk about 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:29.880 and compile and he can know like, Okay, this is 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:31.600 gonna be interesting to talk about, Like I can think 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:33.840 so many things are awesome to talk about, but he 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.880 just kind of he just he just knows. He makes 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.480 it work. So for you to say that it wouldn't 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.800 exist being what it is without me, it wouldn't you. 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:46.440 You are the the puppet master, I guess if you will, 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.280 and you do it well, and you've led well in 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:54.120 that area of the thing. That too, is no one 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.160 on the show knows what we're gonna talk about. We 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.880 talk about like, nobody knows what we're going to talk 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:00.800 about it. Ray has a by the idea because I'll 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.040 send them audio to put in, but nobody on the 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:04.839 entire show knows what I'm gonna talk about. It. It's 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.360 super organic because I don't want anyone having any idea 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.840 or having to try to come up with some joke, 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:13.880 because that's not the point of the show. It's not 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.720 to be the zany let's come up with jokes morning show. 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.480 It's just to live lives. I just want to try 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.400 to find the best people possible. Um. It's been that 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.319 way since day one, and it kept it that way, 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.320 and so many people think, like, do you have prep 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.480 meetings before or after you talk about the next day's show, 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.520 and we just we just don't. And it's sometimes people 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.360 in radio when they hear that we don't do that, 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.880 they get weird looks. But again, since I don't know radio, 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.440 even though I've been in radio ten years, I'm like, 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.240 why are you giving me weird looks? This is what 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.760 we this is radio, And they're like, no, that's not 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.200 it's not how most people do it exact and some 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.520 people do it their way really well. But I want 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:49.440 to found a bunch of people that weren't good at radio. 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.440 I was. I wasn't good radio. Which you found your friends? 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.599 Which was the original question. Sometimes we do tour, but 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:56.440 that was the original question about our friendship. But I 0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:01.439 think I think that as it's similar to the show. 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:06.320 There's been some like like we've just grown, Like you're busier, 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:13.319 you're you're I think you've maxed out at I was 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.680 about to go deep here, but we are still as 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:22.960 close as we were. Um you could you only there's 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:26.480 a certain amount of rope, right that's you're able to give. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.760 And I've I was given that a long time ago, 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.080 and I think I still have it. Well, I mean 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.080 I mean, I'm not saying it's the longest or anything. 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:36.880 You have the longest for a couple of reasons. One, 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.480 we've been together forever to I trust you. I mean 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.560 we've been to a lot together, like a lot, and 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.880 you've always been there for me, Like there are things 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.800 always been there for me. You'all have no idea. I 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.199 could even like get an emotional saying it, because there 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.160 are things that Bobby has done for me and my 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.480 family that like, you'll have no idea. You have no idea. 0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:03.040 So that friendship stuff like there's because of you know, 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.200 Bobby's upbringing and things. We all have baggage, but because 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.640 if some of yours, like he only has a that 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:10.920 so long, like that rope is so long, and I 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.040 feel like I got that a long time ago and 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.720 I feel like I still have it. So just do 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.480 I still feel like our friendship is the same, Yes, 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:21.840 But the aspects that are different are just that, um, 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:26.280 your professional life, your career is just you know, going 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.560 off in ninety different directions, which I love because I'm 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.360 your friend. I want that for you because I know 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:36.880 that's that's your heart's desire and I but sometimes because 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.240 life is like that you know, you don't get as 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.640 much time with people, and my life is different too, 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.520 so it doesn't matter like Bobby would be there for 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.840 me in a second. And I think this the same 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:50.400 speaks for me. Yea for you, I think that we've 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.160 been together a long time, We've we are friends, have 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.640 been tested a bunch, and we both had really you know, 0:14:56.720 --> 0:15:00.240 both of our moms died and we were both there 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:07.000 for each other a hardcore. I think for us that 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:11.640 was a really we were already there. But I think 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.000 for us that just kind of sewed up the fact 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.800 that forever, even if we don't talk for three years 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.040 or seven years, that it would be like one phone call. 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.080 It doesn't matter where you are, what you need. It's 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:27.040 like when my mom, my mom died and I was 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:31.960 on the air, and um, and I don't even don't 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.840 may he's gonna get me emotional my mom. I was 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.040 on the air and I got a phone call and 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:40.000 my mom died while I was on the air, and um, 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.280 it was my sister's and my mama died and IM 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.520 was in her forties and obviously, um, she had struggled 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.560 drugs and alcohol forever, and so I couldn't leave we 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.080 had just started syndicating the show, and there was there 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.480 was nothing I could do, and I was able to 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.880 and I still am able to separate things. It's unhealthy 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.840 how I can separate things, and it it helps me 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.080 in ways, but at times it's very unhealthy. And I said, hey, 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.200 I told Amy, I said, listen, I just got a 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:10.760 call for my sister. My mom just died. And and 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.920 I'm thinking, okay, we're going to commercial. Show is done. 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.920 It's like you something, and then Bobby's like, nope, We're 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:20.880 doing the next break. And we go back on air 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.440 and we talked as if like nothing. I mean, I 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.280 couldn't talk, Lunchbox can talk. Bobby carries on like Bobby 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.600 is in a zone. I mean, obviously it was probably 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.680 one of the I get that you're saying you can 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.840 compartmentalize like no other, but that had to be one 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.240 of the hardest things you've ever done. It just was 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.920 what happened to be done. So I did. This is 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.600 what happened. There was an hour and twenty minutes the 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.360 show left. I went on to the hour and twenty 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:46.720 minutes of the show, is Amy said in the corner 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.800 and cried the whole time. And because I couldn't, she 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:56.440 did and the whole you know, and you know, I 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.440 went home to care of the arrangement to funeral. Amy 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.040 was there, I mean they everyone was there next day, 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:02.680 but I mean boom, I mean I was back on 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:04.320 the air. But from you, he was like back at work. 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.040 I mean even at the funeral. We were like, Bobby, 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:07.720 you just take your time, like do what you need 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:11.840 to do here, and you just were like, I think 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:13.200 the best thing for me is just to get back 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.800 to work. And it was and and that's different than you. 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.959 And you know, Amy's mom struggled and she died of 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.720 cancer and after a long about and of just a 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:28.520 roller coaster of two years of sadness and happiness and 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:34.160 uh every feeling you could possibly have. And your mom 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.800 was so great to me, and for me, it was 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.879 it wasn't about the show with Amy. I told Ammy 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:44.640 go away, like just go away. There was so many 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:46.959 times I did the show but people wouldn't even know, 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:48.840 Like I would do the show from Austin or my 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:52.040 mom was at Indie Anderson and Houston and my heart 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:54.959 has studios there, and so Bobby would let me go 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:57.840 do the show and I would spend the night at 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.440 the hospital and I'd wake up at you know, three 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.159 or four in the morning there and I'd go to 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.200 the Houston station. I'm driving around Houston and the all night, 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.840 not knowing where I was going, and the people in 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:09.840 Houston let me in like yeah, he would be like, 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.200 don't And there would be some days that I absolutely 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.240 would not. Then there would be days where I just 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.840 felt like, Okay, I need to keep working to kind 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.879 of have some normalcy and you know, break up the 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.520 monotony at the hospital and stuff. And I was just 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:26.680 so grateful for that, because no, there were people at 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.280 the hospital that I would meet and I would come 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.520 back from doing the radio show like thinking, you know 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.480 if I would be thinking, you know something, feeling sorry 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.720 for myself or something, and then I would encounter someone 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:39.800 in the waiting room who had a loved one that 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.000 had cancer and they like had to quit their job 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.880 to be there every day. They had to quit. And 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:50.600 like with with you, and you know, are like just you, 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.560 that was never even an option. You were like family first, 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:57.640 and that's the rolling out to still take care of 0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:59.800 you first. Because of that, you being able to be 0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:03.240 you weed it. We're not us and so there's a 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:05.640 time to I think of back to when I think 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.200 I just casually like said to Bobby, I don't even 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.600 know and I know you know this story it's so stupid, 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:16.159 but um, I said something like my mom was bored 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:17.679 in the waiting room one day and I was like, 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.480 surely once an iPad and I like showed up. It 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:22.440 worked the next day and Bobby had got my mom 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.760 and I paid, and it felt like we couldn't have 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:26.960 just I mean, my mom could have gotten and it's 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:30.240 not it's not the I thought that it was an iPad. 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.800 It was just like I said that, and you listened 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.080 and you heard, and then you just show you just 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.000 randomly had it sent to her something or I showed 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.200 a bit we're going to say, or somehow an iPad appeared, 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.560 and like we had it was like, you know, she 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.320 would entertain herself for hours at the hospital with the 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.920 with that iPad. Like I won't ever that's like a 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.919 memory I'll never forget because it's like something I just 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:57.840 said so casually, and then the next day you had it. 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:01.120 And then she got to play with an iPad basically 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:03.679 for like two years, you know, while she sat up 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.000 there and she played her studio goo or whatever you 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.359 play on iPad and then we do those funny the 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:13.800 photo booth, we take those funny pictures. Yeah, before Snapchat 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:17.159 there was photo boot filters. But anyway, that was a 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:21.280 that was a moment where I mean, that's that's the 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:23.399 Bobby that I don't know. I mean some of that 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:25.240 stuff may or may not have come up on air, 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.480 and I don't even remember certain things that we always 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:32.119 talk about, but like your hands down, you were always like, 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.280 do what you gotta do, do what you gotta do. 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:39.040 And I think that's what will always, even if we're 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:42.800 not in the same spot, because who knows what happened 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:46.639
