Speaker 3: about the quirks that our animals have. We admitted are
Speaker 3: rejected rejected segments. Yeah they're rejected, but they're so pretty good.
Speaker 3: We enjoyed talking about them, and of course we admitted
Speaker 3: sometimes that we recently felt like we were being punked,
Speaker 3: but we weren't actually so.
Speaker 2: Good stuff over there with Eddie and I.
Speaker 3: Hope you guys check out that because in my opinion,
Speaker 3: it's like the best conversation and we've had in a while.
Speaker 2: So don't miss it. We're gonna dive right on.
Speaker 3: And we had Justin Moore stop by the show this
Speaker 3: week and he talked about his new album, Stray Dog,
Speaker 3: and why Stray Dog, the title track is kind of
Speaker 3: after his own life, and how he feels in country music,
Speaker 3: why he thinks he's an outsider, and he had a
Speaker 3: lot of valid points. So really cool hearing about his
Speaker 3: new music, but not only that, he's doing a new
Speaker 3: sports show, so he talked about that and his tour
Speaker 3: bus and why everybody always thinks that Bobby may be
Speaker 3: the one on said tour bus.
Speaker 2: So really cool interview right now.
Speaker 4: Justin Moore number seven, So Bobby Bones Show interviews.
Speaker 5: In case you didn't know, I.
Speaker 6: A guy here Justin Moore. He's got eleven number ones.
Speaker 6: Let's roll through the last five. His last one was
Speaker 6: with the Woman you Love.
Speaker 7: He goes, we're the woman for that.
Speaker 6: We didn't have much therefore that why we drink.
Speaker 5: Drink up more of that.
Speaker 6: The ones that didn't make it back home how are
Speaker 6: that somebody else will? He's got six others too, like
Speaker 6: small town USA, regardless, Justin Moore. We're close so much.
Speaker 6: If I'm like, I need some tickets to this game,
Speaker 6: He's got season tickets. Razorback. He's a big Razorback fan
Speaker 6: like me. We play in the same conference in high
Speaker 6: school playing sports. He's got a new album, Stray Dog,
Speaker 6: that is out now. He signed his record deal of
Speaker 6: his wedding reception.
Speaker 8: Here he is on the Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 7: Now, Justin Moore.
Speaker 6: I saw I was tagged in a picture and my
Speaker 6: sister tagged me on Facebook or something.
Speaker 9: She was I just ran into Justin Moore. Yeah about
Speaker 9: a monthant.
Speaker 10: Yeah, oh got it.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna have even remembered that Rods which is in
Speaker 9: Hot Springs, you know, but yeah, we love that place.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 5: Was she okay though?
Speaker 10: Was she like?
Speaker 9: She wasn't like, oh my god, if I need to
Speaker 9: tell my sure didn't mess my pizza up, but it
Speaker 9: wasn't her fault, you know what I say about that?
Speaker 10: She was like and almost apologetically.
Speaker 6: She was going bobbies, apologizing from being my sister more
Speaker 6: than the pizza. I Oh okay, So anyway, it was
Speaker 6: is it hard for people to recognize you without the
Speaker 6: cowboy hat? Because without the cowboy hat, you're just a
Speaker 6: You're just like a dude. Yeah, I'm just an ugly
Speaker 6: not ugly, I would say, like myself were I think
Speaker 6: we're both generic white guys.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it happens sometimes, but not all the time.
Speaker 6: I think it would happen more with the hat. You
Speaker 6: know that you get recognized. Yeah, do you ever wear
Speaker 6: the hat?
Speaker 9: Though?
Speaker 6: Where would you wear your cowboy hat that doesn't involve
Speaker 6: performing or literally working at like in your you know,
Speaker 6: field or yard.
Speaker 9: I was going to say working at the high house.
Speaker 9: But outside of that, not at all.
Speaker 6: Like, if you're really having a bad day and you're like, man,
Speaker 6: nobody likes me, you could just go to Walmart in
Speaker 6: your cowboy hat and people would come up to you
Speaker 6: and make you feel good.
Speaker 10: I guess I could.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but no, I'd like to be incognito as much
Speaker 9: as possible, which I'm sure you're the same.
Speaker 6: Well, my glasses, I can't really not wear my glasses.
Speaker 9: Well see I just started wearing glasses, like prescription glasses,
Speaker 9: so that helps me in the grocery store not get
Speaker 9: recognized because you know, I don't have that look so well.
Speaker 6: It is kind of put my glass dark room, though,
Speaker 6: aren't they like kind of like this a little bit?
Speaker 5: Yeah, the people like are you Bobby Bones?
Speaker 6: Just say yes, and then he's super cool and we
Speaker 6: both win.
Speaker 10: Hey, there you go.
Speaker 6: Hey, new record just came out this weekend. So why
Speaker 6: is it called stray Dog? This industry has been really
Speaker 6: great to me. Radio in particular, you guys have been
Speaker 6: awesome to me. The fans have been great to me.
Speaker 6: But there have been moments in my.
Speaker 9: Career where I've been labeled an outcast, an outlier, outlaw, whatever,
Speaker 9: you know. Award shows never pay any attention to me
Speaker 9: at all, even though I've sold more records and have
Speaker 9: more hit written. And I don't mean that boastfully. It's
Speaker 9: just a fact than a lot of people that are
Speaker 9: on the shows and win awards, and so it kind
Speaker 9: of became an autobiographical song, and I thought it was
Speaker 9: a really cool album title.
Speaker 6: So you wrote straight dogs? I did, and was that
Speaker 6: The reason was that when you're in the room and
Speaker 6: you're like, man, I'm not asking for it, but it
Speaker 6: is weird based on if you're just looking at analytics
Speaker 6: that I haven't been recognizing these capacities. I mean, how
Speaker 6: does that come up for that song to be written?
Speaker 9: I mean it wasn't specifically about that, but that there
Speaker 9: were some threads through the song that you came about
Speaker 9: when we were writing it.
Speaker 10: But I don't know.
Speaker 9: I think when you're writing a song, you just you're
Speaker 9: writing the song and trying to make it as good
Speaker 9: as it can possibly be and as real as it
Speaker 9: can possibly be, and that just happened to be the
Speaker 9: topic that particular day.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna play a little bit of this. Here is
Speaker 6: Dray Dogs from Justin Moore.
Speaker 7: You can pad like the Doorto here.
Speaker 9: We have dogs too many. Yes, we have two great
Speaker 9: names that are hundred and sixty and eighty pounds. The
Speaker 9: kids and the dogs cost more to feed the dogs probably, Yeah, dude,
Speaker 9: it's ridiculous. And then we have a little I don't
Speaker 9: even know what she is, a little shepherd kind of thing.
Speaker 6: Do you have one your closest to.
Speaker 9: This sounds terrible. I'm not really a pet guy. My wife,
Speaker 9: My wife is, and my kids are, so I'm just like, hey, buddy,
Speaker 9: you know I'm one of those guys.
Speaker 6: You know, Uh, do you have any other animals.
Speaker 9: We have the three dogs and we have two cats,
Speaker 9: one outside cat, one inside cat.
Speaker 6: Do you think one's jealous of the other like they
Speaker 6: look at your wad?
Speaker 9: Yeah, the outside the outside cat is definitely jealous of
Speaker 9: the inside cat.
Speaker 10: The inside cat sleeps in the bed with us.
Speaker 9: The outside cat keeps bringing snakes and mice and stuff
Speaker 9: to the back door, going look, look, look what I
Speaker 9: have to do.
Speaker 6: Man's here's my money to get in the club. Let
Speaker 6: me Justin Morris here, we're gonna actually play your single
Speaker 6: and we're gonna come back in a second. This is
Speaker 6: Justin and Priscilla Block. How'd you guys get together on
Speaker 6: this song? I was just blown away by her.
Speaker 9: I thought she was fantastic and not only was she
Speaker 9: great with the crowd, but I thought her you know,
Speaker 9: songwriting was great. I thought she sang great. And I
Speaker 9: went up to her and said, look, if I can
Speaker 9: ever do anything to help you, I would, I would
Speaker 9: love to.
Speaker 10: I don't know what that would be, but uh, And.
Speaker 9: Then I I got this song, uh, and I asked
Speaker 9: for her help, you know, by having her on it.
Speaker 9: And I think she's got a great future ahead of her,
Speaker 9: and really bright future She's super talented, great person, and
Speaker 9: it's been a lot of fun to be on the
Speaker 9: road with her.
Speaker 10: And you know, obviously you guys do this to get
Speaker 10: a song together.
Speaker 6: Yeah, with you being a guy that has done music
Speaker 6: your whole life and have been really successful over the past,
Speaker 6: because that's all your first number one was like fourteen
Speaker 6: years ago or something.
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is actually this is sixteen years.
Speaker 6: So sixteen years that you've been doing it, so it's.
Speaker 10: My record deal in seven you have been a.
Speaker 6: Guy that plays late shows, You're on a bus, you're sleeping,
Speaker 6: and now you're doing a morning show back in Arkansas.
Speaker 10: How have you adjusted because I'm an idiot.
Speaker 6: Well, I felt a late idiots on the weekend. If
Speaker 6: I'm touring, I never catch up and then I struggle
Speaker 6: all week. But how's it going for you?
Speaker 3: Not?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 10: No, I mean it's been a lot of fun, man.
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, like I've had the opportunity to
Speaker 9: talk to Scottie Thurman and Cidney Moncrief and like, you know,
Speaker 9: all these guys that I've looked up to, and so
Speaker 9: it's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 10: But it's tough, man, you know, do you ever.
Speaker 6: Wake up and go to the schedule the morning.
Speaker 5: I just love it.
Speaker 6: No, I never have, not once. What time do you
Speaker 6: wake up?
Speaker 9: So I'm on Tuesday through Thursday seven to ten?
Speaker 6: Okay, that's a little soft up at like six fifty two.
Speaker 10: Uh, you know when I got to be on at seven? Okay?
Speaker 6: But do you do it from your house?
Speaker 10: I do I do it?
Speaker 9: Oh, thie line? Look at me talking radio, man line.
Speaker 9: That's a pretty good gig. Three hours and from the house.
Speaker 6: Hey, I'm making up a three thirty over here driving
Speaker 6: into work. What kind of crap deal do I have?
Speaker 6: He just gets to wake up. You make a lot
Speaker 6: of money than I do. Maybe it only radio though,
Speaker 6: Like you're doing pretty good in your other thing. I
Speaker 6: get a lot of people that text me pictures of
Speaker 6: your bus going who drives this bus? Because it's got
Speaker 6: a big razorback on the back of it. I don't
Speaker 6: even have to look at it anymore. As soon as
Speaker 6: I see who drives this bus, I know that it's you.
Speaker 6: Is that the same bus or have you changed out
Speaker 6: the buses and put a new hog on it.
Speaker 9: I've had I think that's my second or third bus
Speaker 9: with a hog, and we're building a new one right
Speaker 9: now that we'll be on next year, that we'll have
Speaker 9: a I think we're going to do the Remember the
Speaker 9: metallic hog from the Liberty Bowl. I think it was.
Speaker 5: Hey, they all do right, everybody?
Speaker 7: All?
Speaker 5: I know, yeah, I do.
Speaker 6: I know you. I think we're going to do that
Speaker 6: one on a white bus. That's cool to see. New
Speaker 6: buses are expensive. Do you buy your bus or no?
Speaker 5: Lease?
Speaker 6: I know, only think about that small town us say
Speaker 6: what number one? Back in twenty nine, fourteen years ago,
Speaker 6: I feel like forever ago. I felt like yesterday.
Speaker 10: Forever, but in a good way.
Speaker 9: I mean, you know the fact that we're still doing
Speaker 9: this in this capacity so many years later. Man, I
Speaker 9: just feel super blessed and I'm super thankful to the
Speaker 9: fans listening. And again, you guys at radio have been
Speaker 9: so good to us over the years, and that's why
Speaker 9: we're still here.
Speaker 6: Honestly, when you moved to Nashville, because you then left Nashville,
Speaker 6: when did you move here?
Speaker 9: How long were you here? I lived here? I moved
Speaker 9: here in o two twenty one years ago. I guess
Speaker 9: I lived here for between nine and ten years.
Speaker 5: And when you moved.
Speaker 6: Back to Arkansas, was it because you were like, I
Speaker 6: feel successful enough that I can jump and then just
Speaker 6: come back if I need to, or was it I
Speaker 6: don't think this place is for me.
Speaker 9: I need to go back a little bit of both.
Speaker 9: Nashville is really good to me. I've got great friends here.
Speaker 9: It wasn't home, I mean, and it was never my
Speaker 9: intention to move here full time. And this Nashville is
Speaker 9: totally different than the one I lived in.
Speaker 10: I mean, it's changed so much and grown so much.
Speaker 9: But yeah, it was always my intention to go back home,
Speaker 9: and in particular for my kids, and so we moved
Speaker 9: back home when my oldest daughter, who's now thirteen, was born.
Speaker 10: And I never wanted my decision to.
Speaker 9: Do this for a career to affect my kids in
Speaker 9: a negative way. And you can certainly live here and
Speaker 9: achieve that, but for me, I wanted to be back
Speaker 9: home around my parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles
Speaker 9: and all that, and so it's been really good for us.
Speaker 9: It wasn't super popular with my record label when I
Speaker 9: did it.
Speaker 6: Was that a conversation you had to sit down and
Speaker 6: have with them, or did you just moving back just
Speaker 6: change my mouth just start sending it to this address.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but I talked to my manager. Actually, I go,
Speaker 9: I want to move home, and he knew, and he goes,
Speaker 9: you're a grown man, move home, like you don't have
Speaker 9: to ask himbody's permission.
Speaker 10: And so I just did it.
Speaker 9: And three years later I'm talking to my record label
Speaker 9: president and he goes, how long you been living in Arkansas?
Speaker 10: I go about three years?
Speaker 9: And so it was good because it proved to him
Speaker 9: I could do my job and live anywhere, you know,
Speaker 9: as an artist, like when you come to Nashville, usually
Speaker 9: you're off I mean outside of these kind of things.
Speaker 10: I mean typically it's because you're off work.
Speaker 9: You know, you get off the road and you're off
Speaker 9: for two or three four days and then you get
Speaker 9: back on a bus. But so I kept coming home
Speaker 9: going I wish I was at home home, like eating
Speaker 9: dinner at Nanny's house, you know, with everybody else.
Speaker 6: And so new records called Straight Dog. I want to
Speaker 6: play a clip of the first track, which is you
Speaker 6: and Riley Green. This is everybody get along.
Speaker 7: But when it comes down to we Got.
Speaker 6: Do you feel weird because this song you gotta sound
Speaker 6: great together?
Speaker 5: Do you feel weird of asking people to do stuff?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 6: Just generally you get weird. Do you feel weird because
Speaker 6: I struggle with asking anybody to do anything?
Speaker 10: Yeah, with their formula.
Speaker 9: I hate asking anybody for any help or you know.
Speaker 6: Why, Riley, Do you feel like that was a guy
Speaker 6: you could ask pretty easily.
Speaker 9: He and I have gotten to know each other over
Speaker 9: the last six seven years, five six years or whatever,
Speaker 9: and I'm a big fan of his obviously, and I
Speaker 9: really thought in the song in particular, it's two guys
Speaker 9: that are just to like, which is the irony in
Speaker 9: the song, even though they disagree on everything, but they're identical,
Speaker 9: and so you know, he and I, I think, are
Speaker 9: a little bit like that.
Speaker 6: So one more this is with a woman you love, justin.
Speaker 7: Moore because we're the warm.
Speaker 6: Which, by the way, was another number one for you. You
Speaker 6: got eleven. You got eleven to those things.
Speaker 10: Dude, it's crazy you get.
Speaker 6: Eleven number ones. And again I'll just kind of end
Speaker 6: this the way that I brought it up. Eleven number ones,
Speaker 6: and it's like, we're how's justin not playing.
Speaker 5: On these shows?
Speaker 6: And now it's like, you know, screw it, but yeah,
Speaker 6: how is it?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 9: It used to bother me, but now I don't miss
Speaker 9: any ball games on Tuesday night when I'm supposed to
Speaker 9: be coaching my eleven year old, so I'd rather be
Speaker 9: doing that.
Speaker 6: Eddie asked me to sponsor his team. You're rich, do
Speaker 6: you want sponsor?
Speaker 5: Ready? Seam, Come on, Jason.
Speaker 10: You take that Cowboys out.
Speaker 6: Justin Moore new record just came out this weekend, So congratulations.
Speaker 6: Good to see again, buddy, keep killing it. Thanks for
Speaker 6: representing home so well. And there he is. Go check
Speaker 6: it out stream it and I'll say this, Justin's out
Speaker 6: on the road. You guys go because it's so many dates.
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna be every single city, but it's you know,
Speaker 6: most of the cities that we're in. You have all
Speaker 6: these dates all the way up until sept September twenty third.
Speaker 6: A lot of shows, man, a lot of shows.
Speaker 9: Stop it at September twenty third, you do fall, Yeah,
Speaker 9: let's stop that right there.
Speaker 5: Then you can go to the games.
Speaker 6: I mean that's what I tried to now strategically, what yeah,
Speaker 6: scheduling games, I do.
Speaker 10: The same thing.
Speaker 9: I have to look down the schedule and go, Okay,
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go to this one, this one, this one,
Speaker 9: and so.
Speaker 6: I will see it. I are a country festive coming.
Speaker 10: Up and ess like in a week or two.
Speaker 6: Yes, it'll actually be this Saturday.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: That's how you can tell we recorded this, is that
Speaker 6: we're trying to figure out where our days are.
Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah, it'll be fun.
Speaker 9: Man. I haven't been there in I don't know, five, six,
Speaker 9: seven years, so it'll be fun to be back.
Speaker 5: Justin.
Speaker 6: Good to see buddy, you too, are there?
Speaker 5: Justin Moore?
Speaker 1: Everybody, it's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 3: Number two, Amy shared a totally wild story about her
Speaker 3: son's school. Her son's teacher told her about some emotional
Speaker 3: support animals and a crazy incident that happened, which is
Speaker 3: why they can no longer have any emotional support animals
Speaker 3: at the school. And it's just incredibly traumatic to not
Speaker 3: only know that this story happened, but just hear about it.
Speaker 3: I don't know about you guys, but hearing animal stories
Speaker 3: is very difficult for me, so this one was traumatic
Speaker 3: to listen to.
Speaker 8: Number six.
Speaker 6: I do see a lot less service support animals at
Speaker 6: the airport because now you can't just take your hyena
Speaker 6: from home and put a vest on it, like it's
Speaker 6: got to really be like a service animal. Support animal.
Speaker 6: Now they've because things were crapping on airplanes and people
Speaker 6: were bringing ridiculous animals. But I didn't know that you
Speaker 6: could bring support animals to school, which at least that
Speaker 6: was happening at your son's school.
Speaker 12: Yeah, his teacher was telling us about how they used
Speaker 12: to allow it until there was a incident.
Speaker 5: Okay, listen to this.
Speaker 12: What happened the service support animal ate another animal?
Speaker 7: What woa?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Telling the animals? So as a dog, which makes sense.
Speaker 5: It's a doll. We all love dogs. What's the other one?
Speaker 13: A bird?
Speaker 6: It was a parrot. And so did the parrot do
Speaker 6: the thing where it's like sit on your shoulder? Jack Sparrow,
Speaker 6: I don't know, you can't sitting in class, you know,
Speaker 6: doing his homework and the parents right there like you.
Speaker 5: See, go see, probably annoyed the door.
Speaker 12: But I was thinking, gosh, too bad we missed this
Speaker 12: opportunity because it all went down before he was there.
Speaker 12: Because I thought how helpful it would be for him
Speaker 12: to have an animal with him at school.
Speaker 13: I think it really really would. It's like, well, that's
Speaker 13: not going to happen.
Speaker 6: So what did they tell you?
Speaker 12: Happened that that that they used to allow that, and
Speaker 12: it was very helpful in therapeutic for the kids.
Speaker 13: But it can't happen anymore because did.
Speaker 6: They explain seeing it, like was it in the classroom?
Speaker 5: Was it like at Rea?
Speaker 13: Yes, I think people witnessed it. Yes, and it was everywhere.
Speaker 13: The dog just ate the parents experience and the obviously
Speaker 13: the parrot belonged to somebody.
Speaker 6: And now it's not it's the parrot just hanging like
Speaker 6: again on the desk of the kid.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't have all the deeper.
Speaker 6: In the cage because the dog can't eat the whole cage.
Speaker 6: I would heard a stomach.
Speaker 13: It's not like the dog went into the cage.
Speaker 5: I'm picturing the parrot on the kid's shoulder.
Speaker 13: It's just a hole.
Speaker 10: I picture the kid were on an eye patch too.
Speaker 12: Picture a whole therapeutic situation, kumbaigall the animals hanging out
Speaker 12: doing their thing, being all therapeutic.
Speaker 13: And then the dog went rogue.
Speaker 5: The dog went dog.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I mean.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't think they were expecting.
Speaker 6: Maybe the parrot said something that offended the dog, like
Speaker 6: erect dogs aren't dogs.
Speaker 14: On cold dog animals, we hate dogs. Yeah, And then
Speaker 14: the dog got mad all pit bulls should not be allowed.
Speaker 14: Maybe even that's it. Dogs, it's not parent impression by that.
Speaker 14: It's not bad.
Speaker 12: Dogs live with birds in people's homes and things don't happen.
Speaker 5: Dang, I wonder what happened, wonder what set them off?
Speaker 5: And then I'm sure the parrot wasn't quiet about it
Speaker 5: when he's getting eat.
Speaker 13: I mean, I can't even imagine. It's terrible. You've probably
Speaker 13: got kids want someone to save me from this dog
Speaker 13: because of it? Right now? Yeah?
Speaker 6: And nothing else? Do you sue? Did the parents sue?
Speaker 13: I don't know.
Speaker 5: You gotta get you, gotta get me more on this story.
Speaker 13: I can text her.
Speaker 6: The great stories ever heard. It makes me feel I
Speaker 6: don't like it because but it's like you got support
Speaker 6: animals to one of the animals that supported eight the
Speaker 6: other animal that supported so does that mean he was
Speaker 6: more supporting because the parrot wasn't good for the rest?
Speaker 13: Okay, I'm texting her now.
Speaker 6: We have to check it back in with this.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I can get the details.
Speaker 6: And is there a video of it?
Speaker 5: I don't want to see. And do all the kids
Speaker 5: start screaming? Anyone try to stop it?
Speaker 15: Did I start picking sides.
Speaker 6: Oh a dog parrot Like if people circle like in
Speaker 6: a fight in high school, show down, showdown, fight fight,
Speaker 6: they're betting on it, don't going dollar bills.
Speaker 13: I mean, if that's the case, then they probably still allow.
Speaker 6: There's no chance the parrot beats the dog. Except the
Speaker 6: parrot parents aren't really flyers. They fly a little bit,
Speaker 6: but they're in but it's in and enclosed.
Speaker 5: I think they're able to fly, but we clip their
Speaker 5: wings so they don't.
Speaker 6: Oh gosh, so the parrot wings were clipped.
Speaker 5: He never had a chance against his dog.
Speaker 10: Correct.
Speaker 6: I wonder what draft Kings had it listed as for
Speaker 6: the fight that I'd be willing to jump into. Okay,
Speaker 6: find out more about that. I am because that sucks
Speaker 6: that we make some jokes about it. But that sucks
Speaker 6: that that happened. But that's unbelievable. First of all, you
Speaker 6: get a parentis the support animal.
Speaker 5: Let me go to that too.
Speaker 6: By the way, let me just stop go to the
Speaker 6: very beginning. You get to take too, can sam into
Speaker 6: a room and that thing gets to help you, like
Speaker 6: feel better.
Speaker 12: I guess if it's your animal too, you want to
Speaker 12: bring brings you comfort.
Speaker 6: What'd you look up over there, lunchbox.
Speaker 15: No, I'm just trying to see, uh, parent.
Speaker 6: He's looking at bikini girls and I think he's looking
Speaker 6: at something.

Speaker 16: get to the top of the playground at the slide
Speaker 16: and they're scared. I push them. They go to the slide.
Speaker 16: Guess what, they realize they love it. Amy is scared

Speaker 16: gotta do.
Speaker 6: You're how're we helping these guys with the date?
Speaker 16: Put up a thing on the website and say why

Speaker 11: So it's it's a blast.
Speaker 6: One of the things that gets brought up to me
Speaker 6: a lot about our hour long conversation was you talking
Speaker 6: about one of your first performances where you run out
Speaker 6: because you always want to run a catwalk and you
Speaker 6: ran out and you're breathing real hard, but then you
Speaker 6: had to get back and sing, and you're like, oh,
Speaker 6: I've never done this before. So have you figured that out?
Speaker 6: Because you have a high energy show, you figured out
Speaker 6: how to kind of contain your breads. Now.
Speaker 18: Yeah, there's there's just like spots where I'm like, okay,
Speaker 18: coming up, breathe, Like it'll come and like okay, breathe,
Speaker 18: and then you, you know, you kind of just figure out, Okay,
Speaker 18: I lost breath here last time, so I'm going to
Speaker 18: make sure that I stop and don't do that one
Speaker 18: move and breathe there instead, you know. So I'm still
Speaker 18: like really whack and really crazy, but it's like dialed
Speaker 18: back just a little bit, just so I can breathe.

Speaker 18: gonna write a song that night, but then something happened
Speaker 18: and if he would have went and wrote a song,
Speaker 18: you wouldn't have been able to do the press the
Speaker 18: next day and it'd have been a bad deal.

Speaker 18: having dinner and Chad. It's like middle at dinner and

Speaker 5: What was his house?
Speaker 15: Pretty cool?
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 18: It's like there's this one room that is crazy and
Speaker 18: it's like the dining Like if he has forty guests over,
Speaker 18: he brings them into this room.
Speaker 6: Long table type thing.
Speaker 18: Crazy you guys know, Harry Potter. Yeah, yeah, like the
Speaker 18: deciding room.
Speaker 11: Like you go in.
Speaker 18: It's just this massive room, like ceilings as tall as
Speaker 18: I could like think, and the table is so long
Speaker 18: you feel like you're walking forever to get to the top.
Speaker 11: Like in the chairs.
Speaker 18: Everything is oversized in the room, so like the chairs
Speaker 18: are like ten times what they should be. They're just
Speaker 18: like massive and like it's the sickest room.
Speaker 6: How did you get back?
Speaker 18: I can't remember. Oh come, oh my gosh. It was
Speaker 18: a long weekend. We get a lot of things.
Speaker 11: That's all.
Speaker 6: That's a good story. Do you have a passport?
Speaker 10: Yep?
Speaker 6: Get on the plane going to Vancouver. That's really cool man.
Speaker 6: So you're out with Morgan on Morgan's tour. You're playing
Speaker 6: stadiums now, Like, what does that feel like? Going out
Speaker 6: and they all know your songs too, so that's gonna
Speaker 6: be pretty cool.
Speaker 18: You can feel it, like I never really get nervous
Speaker 18: for anything or singing, but I got out there and
Speaker 18: all the breath techniques and all the stuff I've worked
Speaker 18: on went out the window. Man, Like you just feel
Speaker 18: thirty forty thousand people just like watching you, like, don't
Speaker 18: mess up, don't mess up?
Speaker 5: You know, So that's what you're thinking.
Speaker 6: They're really not, dude, They're really going, this is super cool.
Speaker 6: We get to watch Bailey Zimmerman and you're going, they're thinking,
Speaker 6: I guess sucking. Don't mess up.
Speaker 18: When you're standing there in the middle of w and
Speaker 18: it's like everybody's just like watching you, waiting for you
Speaker 18: to start singing, You're just like, oh gosh, hop, we
Speaker 18: don't mess up.
Speaker 5: This is this is big.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 18: You can feel the energy in the stadium, like you
Speaker 18: go to sing the first line and you almost like
Speaker 18: can't even talk because your stomach hurts so bad.
Speaker 6: It's the best new albums out today, religiously the album.
Speaker 6: So I know you're such a good songwriter. You wrote
Speaker 6: most of the songs on this record, so I don't know.
Speaker 6: I'm all curious why you put certain songs in certain
Speaker 6: places and you let off with the religious lations track
Speaker 6: one named it that Why that song?
Speaker 5: Why is it so instrumental to this record?
Speaker 18: I don't know, just something about the song that it
Speaker 18: didn't really relate to me when I first got it,
Speaker 18: and now the whole the part about you know, mama's healthy,
Speaker 18: I'm helping out the whole family. Everybody knows my name
Speaker 18: and stuff, and that didn't really relate to me too much.
Speaker 18: But now it's just like, man, it's so crazy how
Speaker 18: much the song relates to me and my life and
Speaker 18: how I'm taking care of my mom and people know
Speaker 18: my name, but I still think about her a lot,
Speaker 18: you know, and I still am not kind of over it,
Speaker 18: so it kind of just made its way into my
Speaker 18: life weirdly, and now that it's.
Speaker 11: Like out is so relatable.
Speaker 18: Now it's crazy how it became from that song a
Speaker 18: trap song, to the title track of my country album.
Speaker 6: It's same message. Yeah, you just made a little sonically
Speaker 6: you Yeah, all right, here's Bailey zmeron We're gonna do
Speaker 6: this now the album. I'm gonna set your album up here.
Speaker 6: It's out today. I want you to stream the crap
Speaker 6: out of it. He's so good. The album is called Religiously.
Speaker 6: The album We're gonna play Religiously here, right, yeah, all right? Cool?
Speaker 6: And here is Bailey's ever been in studio with Religiously.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm gonna say this in the most complimentary,
Speaker 6: weird way, but you shouldn't be that good.
Speaker 11: Thank you, oh man, thank you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you shouldn't be that good.
Speaker 7: Huh.
Speaker 6: You know, because you know you weren't eleven taking singing lessons.
Speaker 6: You weren't fourteen going I want to be You know
Speaker 6: your dad was a truck driver. You're riding with him
Speaker 6: listening to country music. Some people just have it, man,
Speaker 6: that's it.
Speaker 5: I smiled because I mess up, and I'm just like.
Speaker 6: Well, we didn't hear any mess up there. I hear
Speaker 6: any mess up at all? New albums out today. Religiously the
Speaker 6: album Bailey, I'm gonna play a little bit of Forget
Speaker 6: About You, which you wrote the song I'm almost curious
Speaker 6: about in a room, like who says what? And how
Speaker 6: does the song end up being a song you walk
Speaker 6: into write this what happens.
Speaker 11: It's kind of a weird day.
Speaker 18: I'd been wanting some uh, some more rock stuff, but
Speaker 18: I hadn't been writing it. I've just been writing like
Speaker 18: sad stuff like usual. And I got in with Drew Balder,
Speaker 18: his producer, and Gavin Lucas, and I was like, boys,
Speaker 18: I've got this idea just about how everybody says forgive
Speaker 18: and forget, but how do you truly forget something that
Speaker 18: you've forgiven somebody?
Speaker 11: You know something?
Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 18: So it's like I always felt like, man, I'll never
Speaker 18: I'll always forgive you, but I don't think I'll ever
Speaker 18: forget you or what you did to me, you know.
Speaker 11: So that's kind of how it came together.
Speaker 18: And then Drew started writing it, and then we just
Speaker 18: wrote it together, and it's kind of just that vibe
Speaker 18: of feeling like, man, how could I forget that? Like
Speaker 18: we went through so much. I've forgiven you for that,
Speaker 18: but how do you expect me to forget?
Speaker 11: You know?
Speaker 6: Here's a clip of Forget about You from Bailey's immerment.
Speaker 6: So what's Louisville, Illinois?
Speaker 11: Like a whole lot of cornfields?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 5: Is there a big sign? What is it?
Speaker 6: Is it like a you know, a state funded sign,
Speaker 6: or is the own like a big white one that
Speaker 6: is welcome to Louisville.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 18: The funny thing is when you're coming in from the
Speaker 18: interstate from Effingham, it's just this green steak in the
Speaker 18: in the like side of the road that just says Louisville.
Speaker 6: Oh, it's Lewisville. It's not even Louisville Lewisville.
Speaker 18: It was supposed to be l e Wisville on the
Speaker 18: original d to the or village, but then when they
Speaker 18: put it on there, they accidentally put l O U I.
Speaker 6: S like Louisville.
Speaker 7: Like Louisville.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so they just kept it. They want to buy
Speaker 6: a new sign. I thought that, yeah, completely probably, Man.
Speaker 11: That sign was really expensive.
Speaker 10: I don't think we want to change it.
Speaker 6: So how many people live in Louisville, do you know?
Speaker 18: I think the last consensus was done in like twenty
Speaker 18: and fourteen or something, so it says twelve hundred, but
Speaker 18: I'm sure it's a lot less than that now, probably
Speaker 18: like eight nine hundred people.
Speaker 6: And most people do what to live there, farm farm.
Speaker 11: Or There's been a real like a weird, big deal of.
Speaker 18: Like putting like electric line in the ground or something like.
Speaker 18: It's like a big company in our town that just
Speaker 18: puts like electrical lines through.
Speaker 5: Over the top right putting it back.
Speaker 6: They put them in the ground.
Speaker 18: So it's like that's a big Like you work for there,
Speaker 18: or you do pipeline or you farm.
Speaker 10: That's it.
Speaker 6: And you were doing pipeline prior to your music career.
Speaker 6: What were you doing working for the pipeline.
Speaker 18: I was a laborer, so I just anything anybody else
Speaker 18: didn't want to do that was really hard work.
Speaker 11: They just told me to go do it.
Speaker 6: If we go back five years and just picture yourself
Speaker 6: five years ago, where did you think you would be
Speaker 6: five years from then? Because obviously this kind of happened
Speaker 6: in a weird way, but five years ago, where did
Speaker 6: you think you would be five years from then?
Speaker 18: I was hoping to be a boss on the pipeline
Speaker 18: to where I just ran cruise to where I didn't
Speaker 18: have to get out of my truck.
Speaker 11: That's what my goal was.
Speaker 18: Like, Okay, because you see all the old dudes in
Speaker 18: their trucks and they haven't got out of that truck
Speaker 18: in seventeen days. You don't think I've never seen them
Speaker 18: get out of the truck. So it's kind of like
Speaker 18: always the goal is you become a laborer and then
Speaker 18: you either get into an operator position or a straw boss,
Speaker 18: which is right under the boss, and then you move
Speaker 18: up your way. So I just was hoping to move
Speaker 18: up in the pipeline industry and not have to like
Speaker 18: carry forty pounds of stuff all day.
Speaker 6: When you were coming back and forth just before you
Speaker 6: decided to make the move move to Nashville, I don't
Speaker 6: know was that still scary because I mean, you're now
Speaker 6: going to commit to doing something new. You are seemingly good.
Speaker 6: This success hadn't happened yet. When you're seemingly good at it,
Speaker 6: people like you. But it's also a career of anything creative,
Speaker 6: it's it could be fleeting. So did that make you
Speaker 6: nervous moving down here kind of giving it all up,
Speaker 6: or did you know you could always go back and
Speaker 6: get the same sort of job.
Speaker 5: Well, the job.
Speaker 18: Wasn't in question because I quit it, and I don't
Speaker 18: think they want to be back because I told them
Speaker 18: that I was quitting.
Speaker 6: And how'd you tell them though, that's the question.
Speaker 18: I got up out of my bed and my phone
Speaker 18: was blown up, and I'd posted my first singing video
Speaker 18: the night before, and then when my phone was blown up,
Speaker 18: I was like, man, what's going on?
Speaker 11: So I checked.
Speaker 18: It was like seven o'clock in the morning, and it
Speaker 18: was just like, I think the notification was like eight
Speaker 18: hundred and forty seven, six hundred and twenty one notifications
Speaker 18: from TikTok.
Speaker 6: And you had a mom because you didn't have a
Speaker 6: lot of notifications because you were post. I think he's
Speaker 6: have truck stuff really.
Speaker 11: Right, exactly.
Speaker 18: Yeah, So I was just like, holy crap, I've never
Speaker 18: got this many notifications before. So when I looked, it
Speaker 18: had just like blown up, like blown up, dude, and
Speaker 18: I was.
Speaker 11: Like, holy crap.
Speaker 18: Okay, So the first thing I thought to do was like, Okay,
Speaker 18: you've been praying a bunch about what you need to
Speaker 18: do in this life. Is it pipeline? Is it something else?
Speaker 11: You know?
Speaker 18: And you've been praying a bunch and this kind of
Speaker 18: makes sense, like this is something to chase.
Speaker 11: So I just got up out of my bed.
Speaker 18: I was still in underwear, and I walked over to
Speaker 18: my window that looks out in the backyard and I
Speaker 18: called the union. Well, I hyped myself up first, because
Speaker 18: I was like, dude, you come. So I called him
Speaker 18: and they answered and I was like, hey, I'm Bailey
Speaker 18: Zimmerman and I want to quit. And they're like like,
Speaker 18: what do you mean you want to? Like what's going on, buddy?
Speaker 18: Like what do you mean you want to quit? And
Speaker 18: I'm like, man, I don't want to work there in
Speaker 18: the more. I'm gonna be a country singer. And they're like,
Speaker 18: oh my gosh, okay, good luck dude. I mean, this
Speaker 18: is an awful idea. I don't know why you're quitting
Speaker 18: your job, but yeah, I just quit it. And that
Speaker 18: was kind of like the no no plan b thing.
Speaker 18: I didn't want to have something to fall back on
Speaker 18: if I got scared, you know.
Speaker 6: So you burned the boat, like you took the boat
Speaker 6: over to another country to fight, and you don't want
Speaker 6: to ever go back. So he just burned the boat
Speaker 6: so he can't leave.
Speaker 18: Yeah, So that was kind of my thing. So moving
Speaker 18: to Nashville, it is just like, well, this is all
Speaker 18: you got. I mean, you're either gonna make it or
Speaker 18: you're not. But work as hard as you can and
Speaker 18: see what happens.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 6: Crazy. He just called and I knew the story. I
Speaker 6: just want to see if you want to go there.
Speaker 6: But he just the next day he just goes, hey, Bailey,
Speaker 6: I'm out like that's crazy. By the way, you guys
Speaker 6: sound great. The band sounds great.
Speaker 10: Thank you.
Speaker 6: You know these guys? Yeah, okay, mister Chris, just make
Speaker 6: sure you know who they are.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 18: I met him right when I moved to nash and
Speaker 18: then these boys came along, what a year ago and
Speaker 18: a half. So we've been together basically ever since everything
Speaker 18: started to go.
Speaker 6: What do you guys want to play next?
Speaker 11: We'll play some rock in a hard place.
Speaker 6: I know this one all right? All right here he
Speaker 6: is new records out today. By the way, it's called religiously.
Speaker 5: The question is, did you say the S word? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 5: we'll fix it.
Speaker 11: I can't do you want me to do one real quick?
Speaker 10: Do I say? Chief?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 6: You can good, We'll fix it.
Speaker 5: Make sure I heard that right? Sorry, ft loud.
Speaker 6: I mean you're just in it so much.
Speaker 18: That usually I say chief if people don't want me
Speaker 18: to say the word.
Speaker 10: Oh, we're all good.
Speaker 5: Okay, let me fix that. Bailey, you're ready for this.
Speaker 6: These are questions and listeners have sent us. Hey, keep
Speaker 6: that's awesome. Play that underneath this?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, just keep hitting us with that.
Speaker 9: All right?
Speaker 5: Here we go.
Speaker 6: Uncomfortable questions from listeners. Does Bailey's ever feel like I
Speaker 6: feel like he has a girl's name?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 18: For a long time, I was really bummed about my name.
Speaker 18: I always asked my mom, like, why did you name
Speaker 18: me Bailey? And her answer was because my grandpa is
Speaker 18: William Lynn Bailey, So I'm Bailey Lynn Zimmerman. And they
Speaker 18: thought I was gonna be a girl, but then I
Speaker 18: turned out and I was a guy.
Speaker 5: So how long until they knew after you were born?
Speaker 11: I would say within the seconds? Okay?
Speaker 12: Good?
Speaker 11: Good?
Speaker 6: Any even more than that, we're trying to be a
Speaker 6: little worried. Okay, good, good deal, A good deal. Uncomfortable
Speaker 6: question Number two. Has Bailey Zimmerman seen any money from
Speaker 6: his first number one?
Speaker 5: I don't think so takes a while.
Speaker 11: They said it'll take a long time.
Speaker 7: A year.
Speaker 10: Yeah, sure, cool.
Speaker 11: I'm just happy to be here.
Speaker 6: Number three, Would Bailey Zimmerman ever date a fan?
Speaker 18: Just depends how cool a fan is. I mean, if
Speaker 18: she's cool enough to that I like her, then maybe absolutely.
Speaker 6: Amen. Is Bailey Zimmerman actually really sad, but he posts
Speaker 6: himself looking really happy online to hide a sadness.
Speaker 18: You know some of that's true. Yeah, I would say
Speaker 18: some of that's true. You know, everybody's sad some days,
Speaker 18: but as long as you smile. It's when you're frowning
Speaker 18: when they can get really bad. If you smile every day,
Speaker 18: then maybe that sadness will leave.
Speaker 5: You know, you're a pretty bright person.
Speaker 6: Me like, as in I watch your social media. Just
Speaker 6: a positive guy.
Speaker 11: I like that to do that, man, I try to
Speaker 11: be positive.
Speaker 6: Final question is about your chain? How much was the
Speaker 6: BZ chain that Bailey posted on Instagram for free?
Speaker 18: I didn't pay for a note. This guy from Happy
Speaker 18: Jewelers out in Orange County, LA. He was just like
Speaker 18: he hooks up Ernest and Morgan and Hardy a bunch,
Speaker 18: and he was like, I'd love to make you a
Speaker 18: custom chain. And I was like, oh my gosh, I
Speaker 18: would love that. And then he sent it to me
Speaker 18: and I was like, this is what you've made me.
Speaker 18: This is freaking awesome. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5: So yeah, you're wearing it now.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you didn't have to pay for it, dangsy.
Speaker 6: That's how you know, because when you can't afford anything.
Speaker 6: And I've said this too. When I was broke, nobody
Speaker 6: gave me crap. Now it ain't broke, Everyone's give me everything.
Speaker 5: And I'm like, it just.
Speaker 6: Doesn't really mad, you know, you just wish it was
Speaker 6: the other way.
Speaker 10: A little bit.
Speaker 6: The new record is out. It is called Religiously.
Speaker 5: The album.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna play a little bit of this song right
Speaker 6: here called fall in Love, and I'm gonna ask you
Speaker 6: about a Bailey, but play me some fall in Love ray.
Speaker 6: I want to know because we know the song, we've
Speaker 6: sang the song. But again, same thing asked you about Religiously,
Speaker 6: Like where what was the genesis of this song?
Speaker 10: You're in a room.
Speaker 5: It was on a phone note that somebody had or what.
Speaker 18: So, my buddy I hadn't been writing very long when
Speaker 18: this song came out. And when we sat down that day,
Speaker 18: Gavin Lucas, my best friend that started with me in
Speaker 18: my hometown and moved to Nashville with me, he was
Speaker 18: sitting there with me and my producer Austin, and he
Speaker 18: was like, Man, I got this verse, which is really cool,
Speaker 18: but I don't know what the chorus is to it.
Speaker 11: And I was like, I thought you wrote that already.
Speaker 18: Isn't it just loads of smoke cream wrapped around your finger?
Speaker 18: And he was like, no, man, that's a minor to
Speaker 18: a major. I can't make it work. It's just not
Speaker 18: gonna work. That's a different song. And I was like, no,
Speaker 18: that's the same song, man, And my producer was also like, man,
Speaker 18: that's this song could be really cool. Let's smash it.
Speaker 18: Let's smash it, and he was just like no, no, no.
Speaker 18: So after thirty forty five minutes of convincing him to
Speaker 18: let us make this work, we put it all together,
Speaker 18: wrote a second verse that day, and then we got
Speaker 18: it done and.
Speaker 11: It was like, dude, holy cow, I told you it is. Honestly,
Speaker 11: just like I told you, I knew it.
Speaker 18: I knew it'd work. Gavin was like all right, fine, no,
Speaker 18: you got me at works. And then I sent it
Speaker 18: to the team and they were just like, man, this
Speaker 18: song is.
Speaker 11: We love this song.
Speaker 18: And then it came to be my first number one,
Speaker 18: my first platinum record, and done a lot from our career.
Speaker 6: When you say minor to major, let me see if
Speaker 6: I can explain this, and then you can explain it better.
Speaker 6: Minor chords to me, if I'm playing it like the
Speaker 6: sad chords, dark major, brighter chords, I feel is that elementary?
Speaker 10: Is that time learned it?
Speaker 6: Yeah, so when you say minor to a major, that's
Speaker 6: what you're saying it was, or major to minor. However
Speaker 6: it felt a little too bright to then go dim.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 18: It was the chords that he had for this for
Speaker 18: that for the chorus at the time were not the
Speaker 18: right chords to match up with the verse, so it
Speaker 18: would have sounded really weird. But then we just took
Speaker 18: the chords from the verse, inverted them and made them
Speaker 18: work in the chorus.
Speaker 6: So you switched it, got it?
Speaker 10: Okay?
Speaker 11: Cool?
Speaker 5: Yes, does that makes sense?
Speaker 13: Yes, I'm tracking it's yeah.
Speaker 11: Musical.
Speaker 13: And so when you did.
Speaker 12: Say you know your friend that was like, oh, no,
Speaker 12: we can't do it.
Speaker 13: How does he feel about it now that it was oh.
Speaker 11: He's like yeah.
Speaker 18: He was like, that's the only time you're ever gonna
Speaker 18: give me, That's the one time you got me.
Speaker 6: You did a cover of God's Gonna Cut You Down
Speaker 6: from Johnny Cash, which I love the song, and it
Speaker 6: was just for a TV show theme too.
Speaker 5: Do you know what show that was? God's Gonna cut
Speaker 5: you down.
Speaker 6: I forget what it was back in the day. Gosh,
Speaker 6: what is and so? And maybe you can google that
Speaker 6: for me, Mike that I love that Johnny Cash song.
Speaker 6: Why that song?
Speaker 18: Well, if I'm being completely honest, I'm a man of faith,
Speaker 18: and I've seen a lot in the industry that you know,
Speaker 18: God is kind of you know, you just don't talk
Speaker 18: about it or you don't do this. And I was like, Nah,
Speaker 18: God's gonna cut you down, and we're gonna make God
Speaker 18: that word in a song on my album. And that
Speaker 18: was kind of one of the reasons of just trying
Speaker 18: to and man, I love the song.
Speaker 11: I love the song.
Speaker 18: It's always been a cool song and that I play
Speaker 18: when I'm like partying and like whatever.
Speaker 11: Just it's such a sick song.
Speaker 18: And then also another thing is they were wanting an
Speaker 18: anthem for the soccer team here in Nashville, and that's
Speaker 18: Apple came to me and asked me to do the
Speaker 18: anthem song. And at first it was a couple of
Speaker 18: different songs of Johnny Cashes and I was like, I
Speaker 18: don't think I can make that anthemic. And then I
Speaker 18: heard God's Gonna Cut You Down. You know, I hadn't
Speaker 18: heard it in a while, and I listened to it
Speaker 18: with my producer and they were like, all right, this
Speaker 18: is it, and then he built a track in like
Speaker 18: two hours, cut it four times, and then that's the song.
Speaker 6: That's super cool.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's really cool.
Speaker 6: Let us do one more song. Would you mind playing
Speaker 6: something new?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Is that call from the new record?
Speaker 11: I would love that?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 6: Religiously is the new record is out today from Bailey Zemmerman.
Speaker 6: What are you gonna do here, Bailey.
Speaker 18: I'm gonna sing a song that I didn't write. A
Speaker 18: couple of my buddies wrote it, and it's called you
Speaker 18: Don't Want That Smoke, Dude.
Speaker 5: That's great.
Speaker 6: Bailey's never made a new records out. It's called Religiously.
Speaker 5: It's just like a positive vibe.
Speaker 11: Thanks man.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sure you knocked these guys heads around, litle.
Speaker 6: They probably don't fel that way about the boss, but me,
Speaker 6: I like it when you're around. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: all right, Bailey Zimmerman dot com, you guys get the
Speaker 6: record Religiously. That the album stream the crap out of it.
Speaker 6: Bailey will see as soon, Buddy, keep killing it.
Speaker 8: It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan.
Speaker 3: Number two, Lunchbox Prank called a listener for Mother's Day.
Speaker 3: Given that it's Mother's Day weekend, he reached out and
Speaker 3: found out if there was any listeners out there who
Speaker 3: wanted to prank their mom for a gift, and well,
Speaker 3: he found one and it just so happened to be

Speaker 3: was Stacy's mom that Lunchbox Prank called.
Speaker 2: And this phone call was epic.
Speaker 6: Number three little Mother's Day prank for you. Lunchbox calls
Speaker 6: up a listener's mom and said.
Speaker 16: What that she had won the Hottest Mom contest, that
Speaker 16: her daughter had nominated her as the hottest mom. We

Speaker 6: He's like the freaking Jerkie Boys Man is a whole song. Yeah,
Speaker 6: what we may stop in comment a little bit, so
Speaker 6: people turning on halfway through this documentary know exactly what
Speaker 6: we're doing. But yeah, I think this has real potential.

Speaker 6: That's funny that the daughter being a part of it
Speaker 6: was hilarious. Come on, mom, that's good.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 6: We used to do a bit where we call somebody
Speaker 6: it's all right, you just want ten thousand dollars, all right,
Speaker 6: all you gotta do. It's like tell us your favorite show,
Speaker 6: no matter whatever show they said that.
Speaker 17: We're like, oh, I didn't believe it.
Speaker 6: It don't matter what show they said. It was the word.
Speaker 6: It was so stupid. But that's a pretty good one.
Speaker 6: I feel like they should win, like a prize or something.
Speaker 6: You just won.
Speaker 5: She kind of sound heard end. Oh yeah, I know.
Speaker 6: Because he took it away from her. He goes, you're
Speaker 6: really not just a prank.
Speaker 15: Well, I mean if I just hung.
Speaker 6: Up and she's like, hey, we really do think you're hot.
Speaker 12: Right.
Speaker 6: Also, this wasn't a context. Your daughter just wanted to
Speaker 6: say you're hot and she loves you. Oh, instead you
Speaker 6: pretty much told her.
Speaker 5: You're ugly, but your daughter loves you.
Speaker 15: I mean I really never saw a picture, so I
Speaker 15: don't know if she's hot or not.
Speaker 6: I don't know why to her it's good though, but no, right, Yeah,
Speaker 6: we liked it. We glad that one played.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I didn't even cringe, not one time.
Speaker 12: I cringe towards the end when he had to tell her, like, no,
Speaker 12: you didn't really win, you're you're right.
Speaker 13: He could have said it a different.
Speaker 17: Way, Yeah, because he made her like scream at the conference,
Speaker 17: like I am sexy, you're not.
Speaker 8: It's the best bit stuff the week with Morgan.
Speaker 3: Number two, So Eddie believes that his neighbors may have squatters.
Speaker 3: Apparently the house has been vacant for a little bit
Speaker 3: because they're trying to sell it, and he saw a
Speaker 3: lot of movement going on at the house and the
Speaker 3: neighbors said nope, nobody should be there.
Speaker 2: So now Eddie is very skeptical.
Speaker 3: The show really wants him to go check it out,
Speaker 3: but he's also not having that either.
Speaker 8: Number two.
Speaker 6: Okay, Eddie, what's happening near you.
Speaker 5: So my neighbors check this out. This is crazy.
Speaker 17: They moved out about a month ago, put their house
Speaker 17: up for sale, and everything I saw realtors come in
Speaker 17: like a week after they put it on the market.
Speaker 5: They came in, they painted the house and all that.
Speaker 17: Stuff, and then I never saw anyone again, like nothing,
Speaker 17: no cars in the driveway, nothing but in the middle
Speaker 17: of the night, sometimes the blinds are open, sometimes the
Speaker 17: blinds are shut.
Speaker 5: So one night, my son and I we saw it
Speaker 5: at the same time. A light turned on in the
Speaker 5: kitchen while we were walking the dog, and I was like,
Speaker 5: someone's in there. I feel like there's squatters in there.
Speaker 7: And I don't know.
Speaker 17: I don't have the guts to knock on that door
Speaker 17: or find out if they're in there or not.
Speaker 6: But I'm telling you, there's movement in that house and
Speaker 6: nobody should be there.
Speaker 11: No.
Speaker 17: I even called my neighbors who moved like to another
Speaker 17: side of town, and they're like, no.
Speaker 5: They go checked in. I think they're scared too. This
Speaker 5: just happened the other day and we're like, I don't
Speaker 5: know what to do.
Speaker 6: Lunch watch, what would you do here?
Speaker 15: I think you knock on the door. I just think you.
Speaker 5: Knock off with cookies, like, hey, new neighbors.
Speaker 16: Exactly, I'd like they're new neighbors. Or you're just like, oh,
Speaker 16: do you have any ketchup I can borrow? Just trying
Speaker 16: to check and see, like you don't know what's going on.
Speaker 6: Like that a thing where people now go and order,
Speaker 6: like borrow ketchup because we have delivery services now you
Speaker 6: can mostly just take you know, type it in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I borrowed sugar the other day.
Speaker 15: Yeah, you can borrow stuff in the neighbors.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I didn't do it back in the day. I don't
Speaker 6: do it now if I like, I'm bothering people. But Eddie,
Speaker 6: how much to do that?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, I'm out.
Speaker 13: We send lunchbox.
Speaker 17: I'm down, let's do that. And his neighbor though, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 17: but he does this kind of stuff. He likes doing
Speaker 17: this stuff. Whenever we have problems with like the cable,
Speaker 17: I'll call him. I'll get your free cable. Same thing,
Speaker 17: I'll deal with your squatters.
Speaker 15: So what it sounds like is Eddie's scared. He's assists.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I'm terrified.
Speaker 10: I's sissy.
Speaker 5: I mean, what if there's a whole family living, he says.
Speaker 6: Sissy, anymore lunchbox my uncle in nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 13: You have to go during the day, though, Well.
Speaker 15: They're probably work.
Speaker 6: Well, hell no, here's the thing.
Speaker 7: Do they work?
Speaker 6: You're squatting. I don't think you're crushing your nine to five?
Speaker 15: Oh you don't think.
Speaker 8: I don't think so.
Speaker 17: No, no, no, there's no car though, no, uh huh
Speaker 17: no cars.
Speaker 15: Now, so how do they come? Do you ever see
Speaker 15: him walk down the street? How do they get food?
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, I don't see anyone go in and
Speaker 5: out of that house.
Speaker 17: All I see is the lights turn on or blind's
Speaker 17: going up and down, and it's and I never see
Speaker 17: the blind move. I just see like, oh, look the
Speaker 17: blinds are up today. And then I look later and like,
Speaker 17: blinds are closed.
Speaker 12: It could have been that the house was shown by
Speaker 12: a realtor that day and they opened and closed door.
Speaker 5: I've asked my wife and like, have you seen anyone
Speaker 5: come by? She's like no.
Speaker 6: Do you ever see the very very This is gonna
Speaker 6: be a weird question, the very very top of someone's
Speaker 6: head there. If they're squatting, you can't really see them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay,

Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 5: How are you?
Speaker 10: I'm doing just great?
Speaker 6: How's everything been?
Speaker 5: Just generally?
Speaker 6: Because I have been spoke to you in a while,
Speaker 6: like you, what are you doing now? Are you balancing
Speaker 6: right now? Are you working?
Speaker 10: What does that even mean?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 19: You work more than any known a man, I think,
Speaker 19: so you know, the work life balance thing is is
Speaker 19: a tough thing for anybody in this industry.
Speaker 6: Have you mastered it?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 9: You?
Speaker 10: Oh no?
Speaker 6: And I was going to ask you because you're Morgan.
Speaker 6: I have married a long time. I have had to
Speaker 6: learn to taper off of working all the time. Like
Speaker 6: I have to listen. It's hard for me to listen
Speaker 6: because I didn't ge married till I was thirty nine.
Speaker 6: So we've married a couple of years, maybe two years
Speaker 6: almost two years now.
Speaker 5: You need to know how long?
Speaker 6: I know?
Speaker 7: Boy?
Speaker 6: I said that, I was like, way we can edit this?
Speaker 10: Were live? Yeah?
Speaker 6: So but I've had to learn to value her time
Speaker 6: and sometimes that's by taking sure less away from me working.
Speaker 6: Is that How do you find balance, or at least
Speaker 6: chase balance in your life.
Speaker 19: Well, you just do everything you can to make that happen,
Speaker 19: you know, and sometimes that means saying no to things.
Speaker 19: And that's hard in this industry where you can get
Speaker 19: used to you know, you want to do that. Sure, yes, opportunity, yes,
Speaker 19: but you have to, you know, try to make conscious
Speaker 19: choices to choose living, sometimes over money or any of
Speaker 19: those things.
Speaker 10: Living, that's the key.
Speaker 6: Maybe maybe it's living for me. I didn't get to
Speaker 6: do a lot of cool stuff until the last couple
Speaker 6: of years, and I was saying yes to everything because
Speaker 6: I just wanted to make it.
Speaker 10: I just wanted to.
Speaker 6: Yes, you can please do this, Yes, yes, yes, And
Speaker 6: I'm finally now getting to say no to things. But
Speaker 6: I have this sort of imposter syndrome where if I
Speaker 6: feel like if I say no to too much, I'll
Speaker 6: never get asked to do anything again.
Speaker 10: Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Wait, do you understand that?
Speaker 5: You understand that?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yes, how so you're the greatest.
Speaker 19: You might think that, or somebody else might think that,
Speaker 19: but you know, I don't feel that way. I feel
Speaker 19: very much like a working musician who is trying to
Speaker 19: get keep his gig, you.
Speaker 6: Know, yeah, even you, Yeah, I think that gives a
Speaker 6: lot of people hope because they're going well. Chris Tableton,
Speaker 6: who we all feel like like, you're like the greatest vocalist,
Speaker 6: You're a phenomenal songwriter. Love to hear you live, and
Speaker 6: even you're like, you know, I don't even know about
Speaker 6: me sometimes.
Speaker 19: Well, but I want to be better. Do you want
Speaker 19: to be better? Everybody wants to be better at their
Speaker 19: job or there's always there's always something else, you know.
Speaker 19: That's the other thing I think when you have the
Speaker 19: problem with work life balance, thing is, no matter what
Speaker 19: you achieve or no matter what you do, there's a
Speaker 19: certain personality type and I'm one of them. I'm guessing
Speaker 19: maybe you're one of them too. That was like, well,
Speaker 19: but then there's this next thing. There's always the next thing.
Speaker 19: There's always the next thing. It's there's never an end
Speaker 19: for that personality. So you have to learn to let
Speaker 19: flip that switch and you know, be present a little bit,
Speaker 19: and it's hard.
Speaker 10: Being present is hard.
Speaker 19: And enjoying moments, you know, sometimes you're moving through the
Speaker 19: moments so fast that you're not even looking around and going, hey,
Speaker 19: this is this is pretty killer. What's going on right now?
Speaker 19: It's beautiful.
Speaker 6: You know, my wife has been a big part of
Speaker 6: me being forced to do that. But then once I
Speaker 6: do it, a couple of times like, oh, it's pretty
Speaker 6: cool to actually acknowledge how cool we have it, how
Speaker 6: good we have it. My thing has always been I
Speaker 6: can't wait. I want to host one of the award shows,
Speaker 6: and tonight we're gonna beat the ACMs. I'm not hosting,
Speaker 6: but I'm like, Garth and.
Speaker 10: Dollar should happen, I'll vote for that.
Speaker 6: Well thanks, I mean, you know who knows that. They
Speaker 6: won't let me, but I'm very happy I'm at the
Speaker 6: I'm part of the I'm.
Speaker 5: Part of the ACM tonight.
Speaker 6: Everybody, Okay, this is not an ACM thing, but that's
Speaker 6: the next thing. It's hard for me to enjoy a
Speaker 6: lot of this stuff because I'm like, I do so
Speaker 6: much comedy, I do so much like I would be
Speaker 6: perfect for that job, but they but it's all I
Speaker 6: can focus on. So when all these other good things
Speaker 6: are happening, I'm still like, yeah, but I still haven't
Speaker 6: been able to do this. Do you have one of
Speaker 6: those what's the dream for you?
Speaker 10: The work life balance is the dream.
Speaker 19: I've done so many things that I never dreamed of,
Speaker 19: and so I'm well beyond having a dream in that way,
Speaker 19: you know, like it's hard for me to look at
Speaker 19: something else and go, but I need to do that,
Speaker 19: you know, And I'm not trying to Maybe that's cocky
Speaker 19: sounding or something.
Speaker 6: I don't think cocky at all. I think it's true.
Speaker 6: And you have to have confidence to even be able
Speaker 6: to like put our foot in the water, honestly.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean, and I'm do you think you have
Speaker 19: confidence in some spaces?
Speaker 10: Sure me.
Speaker 6: That's what I was gonna say too. And something I'm terrible,
Speaker 6: I'm so insecure.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I think.
Speaker 19: And that's part of the other things that makes you
Speaker 19: always pushing too, you know, you're trying to be better,
Speaker 19: trying to do something better, bigger than yourself.
Speaker 10: Maybe even do you think.
Speaker 6: That you try to get better because of your want
Speaker 6: to achieve or your fear of not achieving.
Speaker 10: Probably a little bit of both. I mean I think
Speaker 10: that both would be fair. I don't know.
Speaker 19: I mean, I don'ly I don't especially now that I'm older.
Speaker 19: Right now, I don't have as much of a fear
Speaker 19: of failure, because that's how you learn things. You can't
Speaker 19: learn anything without failing at something. But I certainly like
Speaker 19: I mean, and who doesn't I don't think, but maybe
Speaker 19: there's somebody that doesn't like, you know, achieving things.
Speaker 10: It feels good.
Speaker 7: Everybody.
Speaker 10: Everybody likes to win.
Speaker 19: Yeah, it's not necessarily competitive competitive with anybody other.
Speaker 10: Than myself for me, but yeah, I do like those things.
Speaker 19: I grew up playing sports and things like that, so
Speaker 19: some of that's kind of, you know, hardwired into me.
Speaker 6: But I don't know how do you get out your
Speaker 6: competition bug if not in music, because I love to compete,
Speaker 6: same thing, grow up playing sports. I just so competitive.
Speaker 6: So I have different things that I do. If it's
Speaker 6: a you know, my buddy is an iron A league,
Speaker 6: we play Madden, or I play golf. I love to compete.
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter what it is. I just need to
Speaker 6: beat somebody at something.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 19: I've kind of reached a space where I don't feel
Speaker 19: like I'm trying to beat anybody anything.
Speaker 10: I'm just trying to.
Speaker 6: You're healthy, okay, to move You're a healthy person. I'm
Speaker 6: not a healthy person.
Speaker 19: Chris Well, I mean, if we would and played something
Speaker 19: I would want to beat, let's be it.
Speaker 10: Let's be real clear about that.
Speaker 19: But when I was a teenager where I might have
Speaker 19: thrown a golf club, you know, maybe I'd be like, oh,
Speaker 19: well I shank that one in the woods, I'll hit
Speaker 19: another one.
Speaker 10: It's fine.
Speaker 6: You're single now. Is enjoying my life? John Fogerty. I'm
Speaker 6: a massive John Fogerty fan. One of the first concert
Speaker 6: I went to was John Fogerty. I mean, do you yeah?
Speaker 5: I was like.
Speaker 6: Fourteen fifteen. I saw Diamond Rio, I saw Peter Frampton,
Speaker 6: I saw John Fogerty.
Speaker 5: On one show. No. I wish that had been a
Speaker 5: heck of a festival.
Speaker 6: I was like, but like all of the like like
Speaker 6: six months and my first concerts ever and John Fogerty.
Speaker 6: I love CCR. I could do the whole catalog even
Speaker 6: as a solo artist. Eve, when I think about baseball,
Speaker 6: even like center field, it's great, so and so joy
Speaker 6: my life, Like, that's John Fogerty song, right it is,
Speaker 6: because I've heard him. I've heard his live version as well.
Speaker 6: Why would you Why did you pick that song?
Speaker 19: Of the great songs that it's a record of his
Speaker 19: that I had when that record came out as maybe
Speaker 19: the nineties. And I don't know if that song is
Speaker 19: known as well as some of you. Certainly he has
Speaker 19: a really deep catalog. But I just always loved that
Speaker 19: song and I would play that, you know, like a
Speaker 19: lot of songs that I cut that are covers. It's
Speaker 19: just some song that I love, you know, and I
Speaker 19: think it's cool and it's fun to sing, and I
Speaker 19: love the sentiment of it, and maybe not maybe I'm
Speaker 19: I'm sure that I never would have written it that
Speaker 19: way or even thought of it that way. And so
Speaker 19: it's it's it's neat to find songs that feel like
Speaker 19: they can be personal, but there they didn't come from
Speaker 19: you at all.
Speaker 6: We're gonna play it now. We're gonna come back with Chris, which,
Speaker 6: by the way, Chris tonight ACM Awards up for I mean,
Speaker 6: he's the man, But Entertainer of the Year is the
Speaker 6: one I'm talking about here. You got three total nominations,
Speaker 6: but I do the video for Entertainer of the Year.
Speaker 6: I gave your name a little extra buzz, don't worry.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, everybody else, I was like Morgan Wall and
Speaker 6: Randall lamber Chris, So when you hear that, you know.
Speaker 10: I hear that. When you do that, it makes the
Speaker 10: voting good differently.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, even though there's no chance because they've already happened.
Speaker 6: But still, Chris, everybody, when's the last time you were nervous?
Speaker 6: Let me ask you that, when's the last time? For performance?
Speaker 10: For performance?
Speaker 6: For performance? Because I can't see you get nervous.
Speaker 10: Super Bowl?
Speaker 6: Really is it?
Speaker 20: Because it's a super Bowl? Yeah? Yeah, it's a super Bowl.
Speaker 20: You know, it's just and it's the anthem. You know,
Speaker 20: that's a hard song and it's a it's one that
Speaker 20: if you mess it up, you are immortalized messing it
Speaker 20: up forever.
Speaker 19: And if you do do well, you you you did
Speaker 19: good there too. But the main goal with anthem is
Speaker 19: don't mess up the words and don't mess up.
Speaker 6: To me, did you have a conversation on if you listen,
Speaker 6: we all love America. Let's get that straight. You have
Speaker 6: a conversation was do I do I want to go
Speaker 6: sing the national anthem at the super Bowl? Because if
Speaker 6: you were, you're right, If you nail it, everybody's like,
Speaker 6: good job, let's get the game. But if you don't.
Speaker 6: It's remembered forever.
Speaker 19: Yes, well here's noe of those things we're talking about,
Speaker 19: the dream things. People would ask me to do the
Speaker 19: anthem for various other things. I'd be like, no, I'll
Speaker 19: just wait on the super Bowl thinking, you know, like
Speaker 19: they're not going to call me from the super Bowl.
Speaker 19: So but then they call you for the super Bowl
Speaker 19: in your life, Well, I said I would do that
Speaker 19: if if they called me for that. So I went
Speaker 19: and did it, and now I am retired from the anthem.
Speaker 6: So whenever you perform it, and you know they can
Speaker 6: bet on how long it goes? Did you ever did
Speaker 6: you know how long yours was going to be? Just
Speaker 6: from practice?
Speaker 10: I want a lot of money.
Speaker 6: Yeah, some guy named Chris Babulton dollars? Yes, you did
Speaker 6: you judge it for yourself?
Speaker 10: Did I judge?
Speaker 6: Did you even think about it?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 6: Did you time it yourself? Even know that was a thing?
Speaker 7: I did?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 19: Good, I did after people started asking me, like I
Speaker 19: didn't know it was a thing. First of all, I
Speaker 19: never didn't know you could bet on how long the
Speaker 19: anthem was. And once I learned that, I was like, man,
Speaker 19: I know how long the anthem is? That's crazy. But
Speaker 19: I haven't really told anybody. I didn't tell anybody, so
Speaker 19: there's still some honor there. I didn't all annoyings.
Speaker 6: I never got a message saying, hey, it's two forty two,
Speaker 6: because I'd have been killing. Is it when you sing
Speaker 6: the anthem with a guitar? Is it easier to stay
Speaker 6: the same pitch because you have that you can hear
Speaker 6: the note, you know, because somebody hurt and they blow
Speaker 6: that thing?
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean does it not matter. It's a non
Speaker 19: issue for me. It might be for somebody else. I
Speaker 19: don't know's I can only judge it for me.
Speaker 5: Do you have perfect pitch?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 6: Can you hear perfect pitch?
Speaker 19: I mean perfect pitch means that I could. I could
Speaker 19: hear you hit and didn't match it, and I could
Speaker 19: tell you, well, I could tell you what that note was.
Speaker 10: I can't do that. That's perfect pitch, like Charlie Peot
Speaker 10: has perfect pitch.
Speaker 6: But could you guess pretty good?
Speaker 19: No, not not even close. I don't even know the
Speaker 19: names of all the notes on the guitar, you know,
Speaker 19: so I can't tell you what I'm playing most of
Speaker 19: the time.
Speaker 6: What's the best concert you've ever been to?
Speaker 10: The best concert I've ever been to. I've been to
Speaker 10: some good ones.
Speaker 19: Paul McCartney, The Eagles Health Freezes Over Tour, uh, the
Speaker 19: Vince Giltour whlread he had the big band.
Speaker 10: I don't know. It's hard to pick. There's a lot
Speaker 10: of good ones, but one but one.
Speaker 6: You only go to one. You get to relive it,
Speaker 6: get to relive that you've been to.
Speaker 19: Man if I was reliving, i'd probably go. And part
Speaker 19: of this is just the era of my life.
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 19: It's it's the Eagles Health Freezes Over Tour, you know,
Speaker 19: Fourth Row, Charleston, West Virginia. Me and my brother. I
Speaker 19: spent all my money. I had to get these these tickets,
Speaker 19: you know. And they played for four hours, and it
Speaker 19: was they did all their solo stuff plus all the
Speaker 19: Eagle stuff. So you got everything that you wanted out
Speaker 19: of that show, and it was an immaculate show.
Speaker 6: Did you ever watched their documentary?
Speaker 10: I have not.
Speaker 5: It's like three and a half. It was awesome.
Speaker 6: It was that it was them getting back together and
Speaker 6: doing that tour. You see the Tom Petty documentary about
Speaker 6: each Chap, it's like seven hours, eight hours long.
Speaker 19: I haven't Oh, I've watched about half of the Beatles
Speaker 19: the one on Apple.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I watched about half of that.
Speaker 10: I haven't gone through. I just I get distracted a lot.
Speaker 5: What did you think about the Apple One?
Speaker 6: Because I see why everybody thought it was so awesome,
Speaker 6: But I also couldn't sit for long periods because you're
Speaker 6: just watching them live. You know, it's voyeurism, you know.
Speaker 19: You was sure as a songwriter, it's fascinating to watch
Speaker 19: some of these things be created and realize that a
Speaker 19: lot of the processes are not too different than what
Speaker 19: the rest of us trying to do.
Speaker 10: They just happen to be the Beatles.
Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, like they're sitting there, digging around on something,
Speaker 19: thinking they're not doing anything, and then it's you know,
Speaker 19: some classic Beatles song that everybody knows.
Speaker 21: Yeah, there's one part where Paul is just like Jujo
Speaker 21: wasn't man, Jojo was man, and you're hearing him. Yeah,
Speaker 21: you're making you hear like the beginning parts of Get
Speaker 21: Back that we all know now we've heard ten million times,
Speaker 21: but it's just him like dinking around figuring.
Speaker 5: It out right. It's incredible.
Speaker 19: That's an incredible thing to have on film.
Speaker 6: Are you recording a lot of your life so we
Speaker 6: can do one of these about you. No, no, nobody.
Speaker 6: You don't have somebody that's recording a bunch of stuff
Speaker 6: that's not getting out on social media, but one day
Speaker 6: when it's time for Staple to uncut unedited midnight version.
Speaker 19: No, I'm pretty I'm pretty private. I mean there we
Speaker 19: film shows and stuff like that.
Speaker 6: But you don't want a documentary about your life?
Speaker 10: Not really?
Speaker 6: No I do.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well there's one.
Speaker 6: Did you think us go twenty years ago? Did you
Speaker 6: have dreams that equal to where you are now?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 19: No dreams, No, no, but because I you know, I try
Speaker 19: to work very much in the space and the doors
Speaker 19: that feel like they're open, not necessarily like I guess
Speaker 19: it's good to have goals like, but my goals were
Speaker 19: always I'm a songwriter. I want to keep this job.
Speaker 19: You know, I'm touring. I don't want to lose money.
Speaker 10: You know, like those are those.
Speaker 19: Are the kinds of things that there was never like
Speaker 19: a hey, I want to be getting interviewed on the
Speaker 19: radio talking about being nominated for much of awards doesn't
Speaker 19: not a not was not a.
Speaker 6: Not a thing you would have liked it though it
Speaker 6: just was it was just so out of the realm
Speaker 6: of what you thought was a possibility.
Speaker 10: Well, you know, I'm not.
Speaker 19: Hm, Well, it just didn't seem Some of those things
Speaker 19: don't seem achievable or practical, right, and they're not without
Speaker 19: a whole lot of luck.
Speaker 6: You know, if we go back to that performance with
Speaker 6: you and JT, where I think America was introduced to
Speaker 6: you was the next few days and a week after that,
Speaker 6: was it just bonkers.
Speaker 10: For super bonkers?
Speaker 19: Yeah, we went from you know, the next thing that
Speaker 19: we had after that, we had like a West Coast run,
Speaker 19: which we'd never played really on the West Coast at all,
Speaker 19: and we were playing places that held maybe eight hundred
Speaker 19: people that were half sold, you know, because nobody knew
Speaker 19: who knew who we were out there, and you know,
Speaker 19: those tickets were gone. And then pretty soon we were
Speaker 19: booking things we didn't know how, you know, Deep the
Speaker 19: River was all of a sudden, and so there was
Speaker 19: a lot of guessing about what venue we could play
Speaker 19: for the next year or so, and then and then
Speaker 19: we're in the venues that we're in.
Speaker 6: Did you feel like that could be fleeting?
Speaker 5: I still do, yeah, but not but you can't.
Speaker 6: I mean, I get it because I feel the same
Speaker 6: way people say if you got fired today, you'd be fine.
Speaker 6: I'm like, I don't know, so I completely understand. But
Speaker 6: I'm saying this from my perfect like there's no chance
Speaker 6: it's fleeting now. But you did feel like maybe this
Speaker 6: is just a blips. I need to hold on as
Speaker 6: long as I can.
Speaker 19: Well, yeah, I mean working musician mentality kicks in and
Speaker 19: you're like, all sunshine and let's make some Hey, let's
Speaker 19: let's do what we can do. And you and you
Speaker 19: and you run pretty hard in those moments, as hard
Speaker 19: as you can.
Speaker 6: Was it ever overwhelming?
Speaker 10: No, it was exciting.
Speaker 19: I mean it was exhausting, but it was exciting, you know,
Speaker 19: and and just uh surreal and life and still is
Speaker 19: on a lot of nights.
Speaker 6: You know, can you go to dinner in a public place?
Speaker 10: I can?
Speaker 6: Can you go to dinner in a public place where
Speaker 6: people don't recognize you or want to pay for your
Speaker 6: bill or try to get a picture?
Speaker 5: Sometimes so hard?
Speaker 10: I mean.
Speaker 19: That that kind of adjustment was hard. That was that
Speaker 19: was the hardest part initially, and it and it's probably
Speaker 19: and now it's just that's that's just what my life is,
Speaker 19: you know, and I'm sure that what.
Speaker 5: Your life is totally the same, the same thing.
Speaker 10: Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I don't know what you have to deal with.
Speaker 6: Man, it gets were sometimes. But you're you're very I mean,
Speaker 6: you're such a great songwriter and singer. And on top
Speaker 6: of that, your beard is very distinct. Sure where my
Speaker 6: glasses is pretty distinct, but your beard. So I would think,
Speaker 6: like I got I got pulled over the other day.
Speaker 6: I had a phone up to my ear ship. You
Speaker 6: can't do that, by the way, you can't hold the
Speaker 6: phone up to your ear. You get a ticket. I
Speaker 6: wasn't speeding. I got a phone up to my ear.
Speaker 10: CONFI not.
Speaker 6: If you're not talking to anybody, it doesn't matter. I
Speaker 6: can't have phone in your ear. Yeah you can't know
Speaker 6: you can't hold it up.
Speaker 10: What if it's a toy.
Speaker 6: Phone, Chris, I don't have the answers, but that'd be hilarious.
Speaker 6: You drive by a cop of the toy phone just
Speaker 6: to see got you. That's funny. Okay, man, that's funny
Speaker 6: right there.
Speaker 5: I got so I got pulled over. It does that
Speaker 5: ever happen?
Speaker 6: And somebody, like a cop is like, oh, Chris table
Speaker 6: To look at that. We'll let you go.
Speaker 5: I know you dropped the bank, but you go ahead
Speaker 5: and go for your Chris Tableton.
Speaker 19: Uh, I've gotten, you know, because my whole life, because
Speaker 19: I look like I do, I look like I need
Speaker 19: a ticket. You know, I'll get caught for like a
Speaker 19: rolling stuff on a stop sign or something. And it
Speaker 19: doesn't happen as much anymore. But anytime I used to
Speaker 19: get pulled, I just knew I was getting a ticket.
Speaker 19: There were no warnings, nothing that they would find everything
Speaker 19: they could find me, and I would get those because
Speaker 19: I think in their heart they knew that because I
Speaker 19: look like I look. It was even though they didn't
Speaker 19: catch me for something that I've done, I did something,
Speaker 19: you know.
Speaker 5: I felt like that a lot.
Speaker 19: But no, I actually have gotten off with a warning
Speaker 19: and last two or three years.
Speaker 6: But they say, Chris, please sing to me like a warning,
Speaker 6: and he's like.
Speaker 15: All right, I need a warning.
Speaker 5: Here you go, Chris.
Speaker 6: I saw a video of you.
Speaker 5: I don't know how long it was.
Speaker 6: Were you at a Tyler Perry show and they were like,
Speaker 6: made you get up and sing?
Speaker 5: Is that real?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 5: That's real? How long ago is that?
Speaker 10: That's been a minute.
Speaker 6: It happens.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know. It's pretty pandemic.
Speaker 6: So I wondered how to how did a microphone get
Speaker 6: to you? How did they know it was you?
Speaker 19: Well, I was coming to the show and we were gonna,
Speaker 19: you know, a bunch of folks don't work with We
Speaker 19: wanted to go see the show because at the time,
Speaker 19: that was like the last one he was going to do,
Speaker 19: you know, and he knew that I was there, going
Speaker 19: to be there, and he's like, so before she was like, hey, man,
Speaker 19: can I just hand you a microphone? Can we break
Speaker 19: out of the show for a minute and to do
Speaker 19: that thing? I was like, I mean, I guess, so
Speaker 19: let's let's go. And so that's what we did.
Speaker 6: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it was super cool.
Speaker 6: Is it cool to people that are also uber talented
Speaker 6: think you're uber talented?
Speaker 5: Because that's what that is.
Speaker 19: Certainly it feels validating, you know, And if you want
Speaker 19: to say it's cool, yeah, I think, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 19: I think that's cool.
Speaker 6: You're on the road. We were talking about this. We
Speaker 6: look through your tour dates here all American Road Show,
Speaker 6: Chris Stapleton dot com and March all the way through
Speaker 6: it looks like the end of October. Do you still
Speaker 6: enjoy being that hour and a half on stage?
Speaker 5: We usually do two hours, but yeah, two.
Speaker 6: Hours, you still enjoy that?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean certainly.
Speaker 19: I mean every night is a new animally, you know,
Speaker 19: and if you you know, fill out of the weather
Speaker 19: or it's super hot or super gold, those are things,
Speaker 19: you know, if you're playing outside, those are things that
Speaker 19: are kind of wild cards that you know. But it
Speaker 19: is as long as you can get to the the
Speaker 19: best version of how something can sound on stage, and
Speaker 19: you really can find that that musicianship thing with all
Speaker 19: the guys and on stage and getting the groove something, Yeah,
Speaker 19: that's that's really something to enjoy because then you see
Speaker 19: this thing start happening with the circle of the fans
Speaker 19: and everybody's You send something out and the energy comes
Speaker 19: back at you, and then you get to send that
Speaker 19: energy back out and and it elevates what you do.
Speaker 19: You can't I don't know, you can't do that without
Speaker 19: people coming to watch you.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 6: Three more questions. If you're we'll say writers, block writers,
Speaker 6: slow writers, and you're not there, you can't get there.
Speaker 6: What can you do in order to kind of find
Speaker 6: that spark, go do something else, just get away completely.
Speaker 10: Just stop.
Speaker 19: It's not happened to just stop, go do something else.
Speaker 19: And you know, I've had rare occasions where I've dedicated
Speaker 19: time to go do something like that that that happens.
Speaker 19: But I've certainly had it happens. That said, I've had
Speaker 19: writing plumas with people when I was a songwriter, and
Speaker 19: we'd be banging around on trying to beat our heads
Speaker 19: against a wall for two hours and then look at
Speaker 19: each other and just go, hey, let's just go to lunch.
Speaker 19: And you do that, and that's the day. And that's
Speaker 19: that's songwriting and being creative too. Like some days you're
Speaker 19: not going to have it, but if you, you know,
Speaker 19: can have enough presence of mind to.
Speaker 10: Just walk away.
Speaker 6: Is that where Salisbury's Steak was written? That song that's
Speaker 6: my favorite song here, Salisbury's Steak was that at lunch.
Speaker 19: I have no idea, but listen, I I could have
Speaker 19: written a song like that in my twenties.
Speaker 10: I don't remember.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 6: So, Okay, you're on the road, you're playing these shows,
Speaker 6: you play these songs that you've either written or that
Speaker 6: you've you've picked, like the John Fogerty song, or we
Speaker 6: go back to some of the great covers that you
Speaker 6: put on your records. Do you have a This is
Speaker 6: such a cliche question, but I love asking do you
Speaker 6: have a favorite song?
Speaker 5: Right now that you play a favorite song?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 5: What do you like.
Speaker 6: Playing the most? You see it coming up in the
Speaker 6: set less You're like, man, this is what I'm looking
Speaker 6: forward to.
Speaker 10: I look forward to playing.
Speaker 19: I was wrong a lot just because you know, I
Speaker 19: get to we extended and played like a bunch of
Speaker 19: guitar on the end. And so as a singer who
Speaker 19: likes to play guitar, I'm you know, I like to
Speaker 19: do that.
Speaker 6: You know, John Mayer plays with Dead and Company? Right,
Speaker 6: so he goes, would you ever not with Grateful Dead,
Speaker 6: Dead and Company? But is that intriguing exciting to you?
Speaker 6: If somebody was like, hey, some famous man like the
Speaker 6: Eagles or something like, hey, would you play guitar for
Speaker 6: us for three shows? But only guitar where you don't
Speaker 6: have to sing?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 5: But that be fine?
Speaker 19: Oh yeah, and that's Those are my favorite calls sometimes
Speaker 19: when people call me just to come play guitar on
Speaker 19: something because you know, I secretly really love.
Speaker 10: That, you know, not secretly. I'm publicly setting right here.
Speaker 19: My favorite thing is to get a call to not sing,
Speaker 19: you know that's weird, or or or just to write
Speaker 19: with somebody for something they're doing and not because it
Speaker 19: has to be a duet.
Speaker 10: Those are the things that.
Speaker 6: So not to write for you to sing on, but
Speaker 6: just they just want your your writing perspective ability.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 19: I love to do that because it allows you there's
Speaker 19: so much more. I'm trying to get somebody else's thing
Speaker 19: and help them get to whatever they're looking for and
Speaker 19: in my own way. And that's a really fun creative
Speaker 19: space to be in for me because I don't do
Speaker 19: that all the time.
Speaker 6: Well, I gotta write you over not to sing. That's
Speaker 6: pretty easy. Hey, come over, man, just don't sing. Yeah,
Speaker 6: to hang out Chris Stapleton tonight, you guys watched the ACMs.
Speaker 6: Please it is on Amazon Prime. Are you playing tonight?

Speaker 6: you to come, but don't play.

Speaker 6: They wanted you not said please never play. And then

Speaker 19: of an album cycle. With that we've there wasn't much
