Welcome to the Best Bits Just the 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.800 Bits side of the podcast. In case you missed it, 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.239 I had Scooba Steve on with me this weekend. In 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:18.160 part one, you can catch that behind the scenes fun 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:20.760 we went on tangents talked about all kinds of things 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:23.759 to make sure to go listen to that fun interview 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.480 in part one. This is just the Bits right here, 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:28.520 which means I'm just gonna intro the bits and plan 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.040 back for you so you can either get caught up 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.240 on the show or make sure you don't miss anything. 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.240 You know. The list goes on, but coming in Roha 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.919 and number seven. The show talked about the things they 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:42.160 faked on their first dates with their now spouses, which 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.959 is hilarious to hear back and look back on, so 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.559 definitely want to check out. And I'm just you know, 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.040 I called out Scooba Steven the thing. But this is 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.159 probably the worst on this list. Number seven. There's a 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:57.160 study that says most people when they start dating someone, 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.720 they fake healthy eating. They fake like, oh I just 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.920 like to give me a you know, salad grilled chicken. 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.080 But in reality, they're not near as healthy. But my 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:11.520 question is what did you fake early on to kind 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.480 of lure your person in? And I'll go first. I 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.520 probably faked with Caitlyn that I was a little more 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.720 fun than I really am. That's funny, you're down to 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.080 do more. I was like, I love it, adventures, Let's 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.319 do adventures, Let's do some laughing. Let's just do stuff 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:30.279 spur of the moment. I'm so man, I'm so spontaneous. 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.920 Uh smash cut No, I just want to stay home, 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:36.920 give some internet. So I think she thought I was 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.800 a little more interesting in that way. A hike. I 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.959 can't get enough hikes. Oh no, Now I don't even 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:48.360 want to walk to the driveway to get through Uber eats. Um. 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.720 So that's probably how I faked a little bit with Caitlyn. 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:52.640 I acted a little more interesting than I probably was, 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.480 you Amy, Um, I acted like, because he was in 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.920 the military Air Force and had to live other places, 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.280 that I'd quit my job right away and move with him. 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.360 So you lied, I thought of acting, that's a lie. 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.080 Well to do something, Yeah, I mean, I was just 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.160 buying time to see what would really happen. But I mean, 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.200 I mean, I think I was even faking myself out, 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.480 and then when it came down to it, I was like, well, 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.560 we can work something out. So we ended up looking 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.120 at his deployment schedule and I was like, look, you're 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.160 going to be in Afghanistan. I can live with my mom. 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.200 So we didn't live together our first two years of marriage. 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.360 But you didn't move with him to North Carolina. I 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.239 think I tried to quit the show like three times, 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.960 and he was a part of that equation. And I'm 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.880 still here. And I kept building her studios in different places, 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.160 like anywhere. One time we had a whole going waite 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:40.640 party for it. Oh yeah, and then we built our 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.679 studio in North Carolina. Yeah. And he was like, look, 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.880 for sure me, it was that I was cleaner than 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.000 I really am. I when she come to my apartment, 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.000 she would always say like, oh my gosh, this is 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.239 the cleanest guy's apartment I've ever been to. Like it's spotless. 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.600 But now, I mean I just throw my clothes everywhere. 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:58.800 I don't clean, And so she's like, that was totally 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.800 fake lunchbox money. We'd go out to dinner and she'd 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:04.840 order a glass of wine. I bet we'll just get 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.560 the whole bottle just because you know, no big deal. 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.360 I don't even like wine. I don't even like wine. 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.080 But I'd be like, yeah, We'll just get the whole bottle. 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.160 And I'm sitting there going it's not good, I'm gonna 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.320 whole bottle, But hey, girl, are you going to get 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:16.760 that whole bottle? And we'd go to the bar. She'd 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.639 order a well drink or not get a top shelf. 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.680 Oh yeah, you know, get the expensive out there. Huh yeah, 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.880 And man, it would be like, oh what about now? 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.239 Now she didn't we have several money so it doesn't matter. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.600 She pays for herself. But at that point I was 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:31.320 trying to impress her and be like whoa. But then 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:32.960 once we started getting down to it was like, oh, 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.280 you know what, I'm not gonna pay for everything for 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.480 the rest of your life sto. But didn't you fake 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.360 being rich and you took out all your four oh 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.600 one k? Yeah? Very similar to lunchbox. Yeah, but I yeah, 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.320 I cashed in my four oh one K. So I 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.280 had money to spend while we were first dating. You've tried, 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.920 it's just now you're now wife. My wife hashed out 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.200 his four oh one k to try to impress her home. 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.200 What kind of stuff though, Um so, I was living 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.640 in San Francisco and it's very expensive to go out there, 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.320 so it was like dinners and tickets to a show 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.920 and move movies and a little get away vacation and 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.720 NAPA that kind of stuff. But it worked though, because 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.440 I feel like it's okay in a sense because it 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.120 then not saying she shallow and needs money, but it 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.640 allows me to take her around and while we're doing 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.640 these things, she gets to know me and my personality. Otherwise, 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.560 you'd probably never go out me because we couldn't go anywhere. 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:19.160 When did you have to reveal to her that you 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:24.359 were not well? I wanted to be gentle about words. 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:25.760 When did you reveal that that was a bit of 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.400 a facade. It was about when the money started to 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.800 run out, which is about three or four three or 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.400 four months, and then she was like, Hey, come out 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:33.760 and see me in the East ban And I was like, well, 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.159 I can't afford a fair on the on the subway 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:38.640 to get out there and see you. Can you vend 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.160 moo me or at the time some money to come 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.720 see you? You would ask you, you would ask your 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.800 wife to send you money so I come see her. 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.839 Like I couldn't see her live forty five minutes away. 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.640 I had no car. I had to rely on public 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.800 transportation that I couldn't afford anymore. So you went from 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.320 taking her on vacations to Napa too. Can you pay 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.840 for my train ride? Yes, to come and see you? 0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:59.560 And she still she's still married you. But you got 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.360 her eye then, yeah, Well I had her by then. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:02.960 The silver lining two was Then she looked at my 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.160 finances on my credit score and helped clean me up. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.920 And I'll clean you up. She'll clean me. She pay 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:09.760 off any of your debt. She didn't pay off my debt, 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.200 but she put a system together like a Dave Ramsey 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.279 kind of thing, and how to clear my debt. So 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.080 it actually worked out great for me. So you lured 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.440 her in, wow to do your dirty word? I mean 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:24.400 not really but yes, Wow, Raymundo, would you lie to 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:26.760 your now wife Bay about Yeah? I would have to 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.000 save my height. For the first six months that I 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.080 dated her, I was always wearing cowboy boots which would 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.800 give me a solid three inches. And then I distinctly 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.600 remember in the relationship down the road she goes I 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.640 didn't have any shoes on at the apartment. She was like, 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.280 you're actually kind of short, and I was like, yeah, 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.280 I mean this is my height, but I didn't really. 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.120 I mean, yeah, I've been rocking boots for a while. 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:47.880 Ray was in boots to land Down. You know, I'm saying, 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.240 who said everybody's same high? Ray said that everybody's same 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:58.080 high land Down. That is creepy. Yes, all right, thank 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.640 you guys. I can't believe it spent a four on 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.800 one K, but it was an investment, right, It's a 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:08.479 great investment. All right. It's the best bits of the 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:13.320 week with Morgan number two. At number six, we got 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.680 Brett Eldridge. He came on the show for full interview 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.760 to sit down. He even sang a little bit impromptu 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.360 during the interview, and he talked about love, why he's 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.440 still single, what's going on in his life, what he 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.240 loves to do for solitude. It's a great interview. Make 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:27.760 sure you check that out if you want to watch it, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.240 and said I listen to it. You can go to 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:34.320 Bobby Bones dot com. Number six on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.160 congratulations on the new song. Thank you. You know what's 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.800 interesting about this song is and here's a clip of 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.280 Brett's new song Songs about You. I'm just trying to 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:50.479 these songs bad. What I like about this and what 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.159 I like about this kind of song is it's a 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:53.719 sad song, but it's got a little beat on it. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.680 So sometimes you're just like groove and you're like, I 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.160 feel so good, and then you listen you're like, no, 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.359 that was sad, didn't you. It's kind of confusing, but 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.720 in an awesome way. That's some of my favorite kind 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.920 of stuff is a little double meanings. You know, when 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.600 you write this and it is a sad song, what's 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.080 the song about? Because you did write it, what's a 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.880 song about? Basically, you're going through life. You think you're 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:18.320 over somebody, and then years later or weeks later, months later, whatever, 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.400 you hear the song as you're walking by a bar 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.920 in Chicago or wherever, takes you right back to that person. 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:25.960 You're not so much over him as much as you 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.800 thought you were, and you just now all of a sudden, 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.680 you're trying to get through these songs about you. Every 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.840 song is about you that that I hear. So whenever 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.640 you write this, so you had the idea for it, 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.040 do you imagine it as a ballad, a slow song. 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.000 At first, I had the honest I had the groove. 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.400 I had the groove. I'm just trying to get through. 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.440 These songs are about you. I had that and like 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.960 the feel beforehand. And then I so I had like 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.720 a feel good thing about it. And then I went 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.280 into Jesse, Joe Dillon and Ben West and we kind 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.600 of dug through how to do it, and it just 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.720 felt like to put that angle on it was was 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.760 the way to go. Do you and your phone have 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.760 just a weird clip of you go on about it? Dude? 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:13.200 Oh yeah, so you keep those yes, do you? Yeah? 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.360 Well that come to you randomly and do you just 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:16.600 have a part of it, and so you don't want 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.840 to lose it? So you record it right then? Yes? Okay, 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:20.280 can I play you one of mine? Yeah? I would. 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.400 I did that like three this morning. This is called 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.440 UM and I recorded it and I don't know if 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.800 it's going to be anything, and I do it. Yeah 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.400 maybe earlier I woke up the middle of the night 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.040 and I got this, probably gonna want to Grammy if 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.559 I can be honest with you. So this one's called 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:40.960 gas Station Breakfast and again I'm just doing that. These 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.640 are thoughts I like this.

It came to me in the middle of 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.200 the night that yours is real. Yeah, I do, but 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.319 is it the similarly fine mine? But I want to 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.920 listen to it before I played it on here. It's 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:28.520 like a song. I don't know that the usually say 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:32.079 it like I think I had the verse, Um, yeah, okay, 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.720 so I just searched the title because then in mine, 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:38.000 I'm also going none busy. I'm not even saying words. 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.720 I'm just trying to keep a little melodies when we 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:56.800 write the song. Here we go. So that's the verse. 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.800 That's awesome, so really cool. Yeah, it's awesome. It's like 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:02.640 the first thing in the morning. So you can't inject 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:07.120 vocals too much. Were you were. I saw you a 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:20.760 little more of gas. Yeah, we're the same, We're the same. 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.760 I'm going to be a master. Did you say the 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.880 line about somebody in the eighteen wheeler winked at me 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:26.720 suck and the eighteen water just winked at me. Harry 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.440 bailed it. Yeah, because he saw you eating the takeedo 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.200 or whatever. And I don't know what his motivation was, 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:35.080 but I'm not That's all I know gas station breakfast. 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:36.319 So you know, I don't know which one will be 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.400 a number one first Years or mine, But that's not bad. 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:42.280 I'm willing to take some of my favorite music of yours. 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:46.560 Is uh the emotional stuff? Do you need to be 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:51.480 currently in that emotional place to write a great emotional song? 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.160 I think in some forms it might not, Like if 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.079 I'm Matt and I'd be going through a heartbreak or 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:58.920 something like when I'm writing songs about you, you kind 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.079 of heard the story of where it came from. But 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.200 by the way, for listeners just tuning in, not a 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:06.679 song about me. I've heard a song about you, So 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.720 about you? Yeah you're listening, but no, I mean I've 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:11.200 had to I think I've had to be there. But 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.199 like if the so I've had to experience it otherwise 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.400 I feel like I'm not telling it. But and then 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.920 when I'm writing a love song, I might not necessarily 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.000 been like deep in love before, but I know what 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.120 I imagine I want, and that's you know, I think 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.400 like in a movie, in a movie way of how 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.160 I would imagine how it would work for me. You know, 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.400 did you just say that you've never been in love before? 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:33.480 I think that's what you just said. Is that what 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.040 you just said? Yeah, I mean I would probably say that. 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.000 I mean, I've been in love in different ways in 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.200 my life, you know, but like a deep love, I 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.760 don't know.
