kill just the Bits.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody, and welcome to Best Bits Part two.
We're gonna get caught up on the Bobby Bone Show
from this week. Now before we get into it, I'm
not gonna include a whole lot of cruise content. And
it's not because it's not amazing and should be on
this list, but because a lot of it was in
Part two from this week. So if you want to
get caught up on all things cruise, then listen to

(00:26):
a bunch of the part twos from this week and
the tell Me Something Good segment, and of course Part
one and part three this weekend is with Lunchbox and
it is from the Cruise Shift. So Part one we
get into it all things cruise, everything that's happened up
until that moment we recorded, and then part three we
answer a whole bunch of cruise questions, so all the
cruising content your heart could desire. But for this Part two,

(00:48):
here this weekend, I'm going to include all the things
that happened in the studio while we were at sea.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
So let's get into it.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
A listener asked Bobby to name his top four list
of the funniest people, and I don't know if you're
going to expect some of the names on this list.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Number seven by.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
Anonymous, there's a question to be.

Speaker 6 (01:17):
Man, Hello, Bobby Bones, who's your mount Rushmore funny people
signed laughing in Gainesville on my list is as you
give me?

Speaker 7 (01:27):
Say you? Is that why you're Oh? I thought you
were really just clearing your things.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
For a second too, like why is Zame's you have
a cold? And then she was just.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Saying I just found myself to the list.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
I didn't think you're funny.

Speaker 7 (01:37):
Yeah, this should be easy for you.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
You think I'm gonna pick you?

Speaker 7 (01:39):
Guess run in front of you.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Man, Yeah, you've worked with us every day.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
I do think there's an elementary humor you guys all bring.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Okay, don't pick if you're not picking one of us,
don't pick anybody in this risk.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
It has to don't worry. It has to be don't worry.
I wasn't.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
It has to be like, hmm, I know who you're
gonna pick.

Speaker 8 (01:54):
I didn't pick my wife, even though that had been
the easiest, because she makes me laugh harder than anybody
else I've ever met.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
You guys would be like, oh you was, no, I
think we even understand me. But do you think my
wife's funny?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
She is funny, It's hilarious. So but I mean, I
guess I can tell you're going to go the professional
comedian route.

Speaker 8 (02:12):
Yes, okay, so I'm gonna go. Ricky Gervass I think
is so cutting, funny and so brilliant. He's the original
office guy. He's the creator of the office. Think Ricky Gervass.
A plus, I'm gonna go from when I was a
child even to now. And I don't know that I
lool as much now, but he has such an influence

(02:33):
on everything that I've done, especially like musically, as Adam Sandler.
When his records came out and I was eleven, it
changed my world.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Oh yeah, it's the.

Speaker 8 (02:42):
Whole reason that I probably have a guitar and Eddie
and I do stupid songs that aren't near as good.
But Adam Sandler to me, one of the funniest people ever.
Chris Rock probably my favorite stand up comic ever. Like
his early specials on like HBO so funny.

Speaker 6 (02:56):
They were so funny, and as a black guy like
myself really related.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
You know what that just reminds me of And this
was years ago. I don't know, maybe fifteen years ago.
You made me do like Chris Rock stand up like
I had to read it.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Were for work. Baby wouldn't curse at all. She lost
a bet. I made her do the whole day I did.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, that was back when I did it. Gus and
I it was. That was so awkward and hilarious.

Speaker 8 (03:21):
I think Chris. I still think Chris Rock is very funny.
But Chris Rock, to me is there. So I got
Jerve Sandler, Chris Rock and there, and I wanted to
pick somebody new.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
This comedian Mark Norman is so funny. I watched stuff
on TikTok. I never met him, but I just grabbed
a clip from him his stand up here hit it.

Speaker 9 (03:38):
Everything kind of changes when you get older. You know,
my brother had a kid. That's crazy. Everyone wants to
play with the baby, touch the baby, hug the baby.
I find babies fascinating because babies are the only thing
that comes out of another person that strangers want to hold.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
That's true, and that's everything about that.

Speaker 9 (03:55):
Anything else comes out of a human being. You're like, wow,
this dinner party is over.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
That's like the clean. He's not dirty, he's just normal.
He's so funny. Uh, Mike, you like Mic Norman.

Speaker 8 (04:06):
Yeah, he's good, like I've got to know him on TikTok.
But he's a real comedian, sells big shows, so funny.
I'm not putting him in my in my list. Uh,
do one because you guys weren't ready for this question.
Do professional because I'm not gonna lie you guys to
pick me just one comedian.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
It got to be a comedian because because Sandler, I mean,
I guess he's a comedian, but he's more of a performer.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, Tina Fey or Ammy.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Poehler, he did too?

Speaker 5 (04:28):
You cheated?

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, I feel like they're they they're besties, so.

Speaker 10 (04:32):
They're the same. Yeah, Eddie Man. I love Jim Gaffigan.
Jim Gaffigan's my dude. I think he's so funny, and
he spits out comedy specials like I would say, every year,
so there's always new stuff.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
I like.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
I love John mulaney just the way he talks. I
think he just has a funny voice.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
John Mulaney's really funny too. I mean Norm McDonald when
he was alive. I didn't pick up. Nor McDonald's a funny.

Speaker 7 (04:53):
He was so funny.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Uh, kick off Kevin running the board in there? Do
you have anybody?

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, I'm a big fan of Shane Gillis. I know
he's still like irrelevant right now.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
Yeah, he's awesome and gil is super funny. All right,
good one. Hey, glad you sent that email.

Speaker 8 (05:05):
You can email us, although Mortgan's not here right now,
so I don't remember the address.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Mail bag and Bobby bones that come. All right, there
you go.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Recently, in therapy, Bobby's therapist asked him a very intriguing question,
what is your purpose in this life? And that's a
big question to ask anybody, So Bobby, Amy, Eddie, they
all pondered it and shared what they thought their purpose
to this life is.

Speaker 6 (05:36):
Number six was in my therapist office yesterday and he
asked me, Hey, what do you think your purpose is?
That's a big question, a big question because mostly I
go in and he's like, what's on your mind? And
I hit him with something and we just kind of
roll off that. But it was like, hey, what do
you think your purpose is? So what do you think
your purpose?

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Is Amy.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
What now you're giving us the sloaded question.

Speaker 6 (05:57):
I'll answer mine, but I don't. I don't want to
point you. Okay, what do you think your purpose is?

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, when you said I'm going to answer.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Mine, that after you answer your oh gosh.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
I thought you were gonna give me time to think.

Speaker 7 (06:12):
You want time.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
I would like it a little time, Eddie.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
What do you think your purpose is?

Speaker 7 (06:16):
It's easy, it's easy.

Speaker 10 (06:17):
Mine is to Yeah, mine is to make everyone around
me better. So like starting with my family, I want.

Speaker 7 (06:24):
To Amy laugh.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
I'd like to just check in real quick. And I
just like to check in real quick.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
I love the confidence of Eddie. I think he does
make our lives better. He's a very joyful laugh.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
I'm just checking in on the last.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Like, I don't know that I could say that with
such like. I guess it's I'm laughing also with en
they of like I wish I could answer with such
confidence that I have that kind of an impact, and
like I am supposed to make everybody's life better and
I do it.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Okay, well let's hear what he has to say.

Speaker 10 (06:53):
Yeah, I think that I was put on this earth
to make people either get get away from their problems, whatever,
but make them better as people.

Speaker 7 (07:05):
I don't know why I'm not doing anything. I'm just
being me.

Speaker 10 (07:07):
But starting with my family, I'm raising four boys. My
goal is to make their life as good as it
can be and prepare them for the world. My wife,
I want her life to be better because she's married
to me. I don't know, man, That's just how I
feel about my purpose on Earth.

Speaker 8 (07:23):
I think your word choice was hit amy a little
funky because now we understand what you're saying totally. You
think your purpose is to be there for people, to
help them so that they have a better life.

Speaker 10 (07:33):
Yeah, but even someone that I meet, like maybe I
don't know them, better day after we talk for a
little bit, their day will be better.

Speaker 8 (07:40):
I can tell you that you are one of the
most fun people to be around. You're very kind, you
love small talk, like You're that person that is so
warm immediately that people are drawn to you, Like we'll
go to dinner with people that I'll drag Eddy along
and be like, hey, Edi, we're going to go to dinner.
I'll give you an example. With rich eyes and from

(08:01):
ESPN now has his own show. Someone I've looked up
to for a long time. We've become friends, and I
was like, Eddie, come to dinner. We're gonna go down
the rich isond He's like, okay, I'm in. We leave
and Richards like okay, he goes that Eddie guy.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
I love that guy.

Speaker 7 (08:12):
Yeah, that's awesome, Like.

Speaker 8 (08:14):
People love Eddie just being around him. I think how
initially came out was You're gonna make everybody better because
you're so good.

Speaker 7 (08:22):
I got or anything.

Speaker 10 (08:23):
I just at this feel like I want people to
leave whatever encounter we had feeling better about them.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
That's beautiful love.

Speaker 8 (08:31):
It left no because what he was saying at first
it was weird. It was kind of like when Morgan
number two was talking and she was like, people keep
coming up to me saying I'm much prettier than pictures and.

Speaker 6 (08:42):
More like that's we know what you mean. But that
sounds a little weird. Yeah, okay, you're up.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
So I have heard from people.

Speaker 8 (08:50):
That No, No, I've heard I want you to say
what you think you're This is really hard for me.
It was hard for me too. Why are you hearing?
What is your purpose here? Me go sure, okay, because
it was hard for me too. I think my purpose
is like if it was all boiled down to something.
It is to show folks that think they can't do

(09:12):
it they come from places that people around them aren't doing.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Whatever it is.

Speaker 8 (09:16):
You want to be, uh, you wanna be famous? Okay,
you want to play piano, you want to be uh,
get your the first person to graduate high school in
your family. You want to get a doctor, you want
to be a doctor. That it doesn't it doesn't matter
where you come from. Like I think my purpose is
to show by example that it doesn't matter where you
come from, you can do whatever you want. That the
world is absolutely bendable and resources are far less for

(09:41):
some folks. But the fact that you don't have those resources,
once you get to that midpoint, you're so much stronger
because you got there without all the help other people had.
So now you're so strong. You're stronger than they are
at the same exact level. It's to show people to
be the example to folks that it doesn't matter where
you come from. If you just keep pushing, you can

(10:01):
do whatever you want. I think that's my purpose.

Speaker 11 (10:04):
Beautiful, it's good both of you. Beautiful, Okay, Amy purpose
purpose kind of thing I was thinking that book from
back in the day. Who wrote it, Rick Warren? Purpose
driven Life?

Speaker 4 (10:16):
That didn't I didn't read.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
It was big, big, big, big back in the day. Okay, Well,
I feel like a connector of sorts, and not always publicly.
I do like connecting with people in our job and
what I do. I love connecting face to face and
sharing experiences. But something that has been very meaningful to

(10:41):
me the last five years is connecting behind the scenes
and privately with certain things that I've been through and
being able to support others and come alongside them and
what they're going through because I feel like I've experienced
some things in the last several years I never thought
I would. And again, they're not stuff that everybody knows about,
but somehow it's like if you're in that circle and
someone knows, they're like, you need to call Amy, and

(11:03):
I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm the
one with the resource and the information on this. What's
something that used to be so foreign to me and
now I know And I can be a connector for
someone and connect them to the person that could helpfully
change the trajectory of their life.

Speaker 8 (11:18):
I think you have a lot of empathy based on
a lot of the public but also private things you've
been through in the past years. And empathy is not
something that you can buy. Perspective is not something you
can buy. Nobody wants to have to get perspective because
perspective has only gathered through very hard times. But once
you have it, there really is nothing more valuable than it.
And I think you have a lot of that in

(11:38):
those areas. And so now you're the person that people
that are going through those similar situations hard they can go.
You know who has perspective and empathy and actually wants
to help is Amy? Would you say that would be accurate?
I would say that would be anything that feels right.
Hard for me to say, but it feels right. Like
even on the cruise, I connected with a listener, a

(12:00):
fellow adopted mom, and we ended up sitting next to
each other at She came to my pizza making class,
and then we sat by each other and through just
talking I could tell what she was going through with
something and something I've never shared publicly with anybody. I
was able to one on one because it's a private
situation share with her and then gave her like you
need to order this book. You need to look up

(12:22):
at this website and yeah, that was just a moment
that literally just happened a couple of days ago, where yeah,
I felt for her, And those are the moments that
mean a lot to me. I think we all have
earned tools and it is our obligation to use them
in a positive way. Yes, we don't want to have
we never I never volunteered. Ay, I want to grow
up in poverty in a trailer park and not parents. However,

(12:45):
I'm telling you I'm so fortunate from what I have
from that, and I think if I didn't use that
in a positive way, that's on me and that's not
good to me. So I think, not just us three,
but just any of the listeners too, we all have
earned too that we didn't sign up to have to have.
But now that we have them, I think it is
our obligation to use them in a positive way. And

(13:07):
so I'm just happy that I have Eddie because he
makes me better every day at this job.

Speaker 10 (13:11):
I like, I like how Bobby we said what we thought.
Then Bobby like what you mean to say that.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
I hope that didn't come out, but I hope that
didn't come out wrong.

Speaker 7 (13:19):
No, you just helped us.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Are you sure though?

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Because it also you did a good job doing it before.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
I don't want to be fixing you.

Speaker 10 (13:25):
I want to know you said it how I should
have said it well, and I appreciate.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
That I interrupted you with my laugh and I laughed
at her laugh.

Speaker 10 (13:32):
Can you can you do me a favorite? Can we
hold this question for lunch Box when he gets back.
I really want to hear what his purpose.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
He's going to say is the one day be rich?
And I want to hear that in the lottery.

Speaker 6 (13:43):
Nobody tip him off, You got it? No listeners, they'll
tip them off.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
All right, Good job, everybody. It's the best Bits of
the week with Morgan.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Number two, the next class of Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame nominees was announced, and it's always fun to
make Lunchbox guess what songs the nominees sing, and instead
of just saying a song, he has to sing the song.
And it does get as interesting as you might think.

Speaker 8 (14:16):
Number five Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They've put
out their nominees. I just wonder if Lunchbox knows who
these people are. He also says he doesn't know a
bunch about music, but I think you'll know Mariah Carey

that's what that's from. Which, Yeah, Shakira is big enough
to get in the whole thing.

Speaker 7 (20:57):
She's big enough to be nominated for It's nominated.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
Man, some of those people, I'm like, I don't know
about that. It seems a little you don't think Shakira
should be in.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
No, I think she's huge. I mean she had like
two songs, right.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
But like globally, how did they take that in consideration?

Speaker 4 (21:10):
It's kind of not really.

Speaker 8 (21:13):
I mean, yes, but if you have a bunch of
like Spanish hits, you're not getting in. If it's just that,
any of those bands Lunchbox you think should get in.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
I don't know about the Black Crows either, Like I'm like,
i've heard one song. I don't think they're getting in.
I think Pink will get in. She's got a lot
of hits. I think she's been around a while.

Speaker 14 (21:34):
I don't know about that guy, Billy Idol. What about Oasis? No,
I got one song Wonderwall, No, they don't they have many.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
It's the best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Number two.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Now by request, a listener asked me to start sharing
the winners of our draft so they can get the
full conclusion. Our big winner is going to be Bobby
in this one. He took it away by a landslide.
And the next bit we're going to get into is
a story from Amy. She was walking with some girlfriends
and they found a stray dog and the situation was
a little sketchy.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Number three and he says, she has a weird story
for us. What do you have?

Speaker 3 (31:22):
I need to know y'all's theories on this. So my
girlfriends and I are on a walk, there's two of us,
and I have my dog, and all of a sudden,
on the walk, this cute little doodle thing starts following us.
I mean, it is so cute, and I'm like, where
did this dog come from? And who does it belong to? Well,
we're about to approach a busier road and the dog
keeps following my dog, and I'm like, when we get

(31:43):
to the busy road, like something had happened to this dog.
So I just decide to go up to a door
on that street just to see if they recognize the dog,
and the woman says, oh, yeah, I think it's belongs
to that cul de sac down there, So I'm like, okay,
so we turn around. We go to the cul de
sac a which house? So I just start guessing. Go
to one house, nobody answers. Go to the next house.

(32:06):
Nobody answers. No, it's just following us, Like I can't,
we can. Anytime we try to get near it to
check its collar, it starts barking and like backs away,
but it's following us, so it's fine. It follows us
to the cul de sac and then I walk away
from the second house because nobody's coming. But as I'm
walking away, a guy starts walking out, but not because
he heard me. At his door. He's just walking to

(32:26):
his car, and I was like, oh, hey, excuse me, Like,
do you know who's this dog is or is it yours?
And he looks at the dog and he's like, no,
that's not that's not my dog. And I'm like okay,
And the dog's like starts barking, like marking, and I'm
like what is this dog trying to tell us? Like

(32:46):
is there something going on? And then the guy takes
a second look and he's like, oh, yeah, that is
my dog and then calls the dog by name, and
the dog follows him back inside the house else and
then he goes and gets in his car and leaves.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
What's your theory?

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Say, Well, so we had some time to think about
this on our walk because we all my girlfriends and
we looked at each other were like what just happened?
Like this was weird, and we think maybe he was
like maybe just wanting his dog to disappear, you know,
like I want the dog, his wife's dog to be
brought back, like he wanted it to be out and

(33:25):
he wanted it to either get picked up or heaven
forbid to hit my car.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
I don't know, was he any chance drunk.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Well, we had our theories of like maybe he didn't
have his glasses on or had he been drinking, Like
why in the world with someone. I mean, there this dog.
There's no denying. If any of us saw our dogs,
like right in front of us, we'd be like, oh
my gosh, yeah, that's our dog. And then when he
left the neighborhood and drove by us, like I was
thinking how I would handle this situation. I would roll

(33:55):
down my window and be like, hey, guys, thanks again
for taking care of my dog, Like thank you. He
just drives right by like we don't exist. We're like,
I'm like, we just basically hand delivered your dog back
to you, And the whole thing just felt so weird,
like he did not want the dog to return, and
it made me really sad.

Speaker 8 (34:16):
Okay, I would think it can't be the glasses thing,
because I'm blind with no glasses and I can still
tell a dog if it's mine. He it had to
be like his wife's dog or something that he didn't like,
and he was happy it was out.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
And didn't want it back. Yeah, I mean that's what
I would think.

Speaker 7 (34:29):
You guys, Oh, I have a theory.

Speaker 10 (34:30):
Yeah, he was burglarizing the house when he left the
door open and the dog ran out, and he was,
oh crap, the dog ran out, so he made up
some name. The dog obviously knows that that's the house,
so the house. The dog ran back in the house,
and that's why he left immediately. He left right after
the dog went.

Speaker 7 (34:47):
In the house.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
What time of the day was this, I mean it
was still light out but getting dark.

Speaker 6 (34:54):
Answer, I'd say four. We don't know the real answer,
but it ain't that one.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
It's easy what he was high as a kite. He
was high as a kite. He'd been smoking inside and
he came out.

Speaker 6 (35:04):
He's like, oh wait a minute, that is my dog
and you saw him thoughts, Yeah, no, part of me.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Thought he was high and like also his I don't know.
He didn't look like someone that would just be high,
like his house.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
I know that you didn't have a high house. I hear, yeah, yeah,
he didn't have a Yeah he look like a burglar though,
no was he wearing just he was.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
He was like us, like our age, Like he looked
like one of us.

Speaker 5 (35:31):
Yeah, definitely couldn't be high.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
Then. I think they looks like a wife's dog.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Be honest though, like, yeah, definitely like a little person dog,
cute little dog.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Yeah, that's probably what it was.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
I know that had to be our working that was
our working day, but I'm telling you, like, it was
so like I think that he finally just started to
be like, oh, yeah, that is my dog, because we
were looking at him, like the dog was trying to say,
like it was barking, and I was like, and just
how bizarre he was like we were just staring at him,
and so I think he just was like, oh, yeah,

(36:01):
that is my dog. How it was so off awkward,
how he looked right at and he was like no.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
I'm surprised he came back to yes though, because if
you go no, it's just no.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Yeah, It's it's so weird because his no was so
like I realized, like he had three women like staring
at him in a dog barking. He's like, there's no
way I'm getting out of this.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number two.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Amy shared a story of a listener on the cruise
ship who was getting signs while she was out cruising
with us from her husband who recently passed away.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
And I think this is a.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Really beautiful story about grief.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
And love and country music.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
So, whatever you may think and whatever you may believe,
this is a cool one to hear from a listener's perspective.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
Number two.

Speaker 6 (36:57):
Okay, so we have a story about somebody talking to
somebody from the dead.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
I don't know much about it. Amy you're on the cruise.
What happens?

Speaker 3 (37:02):
So this woman comes up to Actually Eddie and I
were walking around and she's like, hey, do y'all mind
if I share a story with you? And we're like sure. Problem.
She tells us that her husband passed away a few
years ago and that he often speaks to her through music.
She booked this cruise before all the artists were announced

(37:23):
because there's muse live music all the time. She's like,
I'm not even the biggest country music fan. I don't
even know, honestly, why I booked this cruise. She's like,
but here I am.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
She did say why did she book the cruise? Yes,
we were on it.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
She doesn't know. She just was like, I'm going to
go on that cruise.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
Yeah, okay, so sure we were on it. She just
booked it.

Speaker 7 (37:40):
No, she didn't even really know our show.

Speaker 10 (37:42):
Yeah, Like she just booked a cruise for no read
with the cruise for no reason.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
Yes, okay, but she likes music. But she's like, honestly,
it's not even country music that's my thing. She said that,
what was it like? A week before we set sail,
Cooper Allen was added to the lineup. She bought our
tickets for this cruise way before that. Well, a song
that got her through the death of her husband is

(38:05):
a Cooper Allen song. It's something that was really special
even to her husband, to her and for you know,
the last few years, she's used it therapeutically. Well, then
Cooper Allen's added to the cruise that she didn't even
really want to go on. Then he's on the boat.
She runs into him on the boat. She's able to
tell him how special this song is and what it

(38:26):
means to her, and he's like, oh, we are you
coming to my show in the theater tonight And she
was like, yeah, I'm going to be there. He's like
all right. She gets to the show, he's on stage,
he tells the story, he dedicates the song to her
and her husband, and then performs it. And so she's like,
my husband's always spoken to me through music. So my
husband's here on this boat like he was in this moment.
He orchestrated this whole thing. Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 7 (38:49):
What do you think?

Speaker 4 (38:50):
I mean?

Speaker 3 (38:50):
Let me let me just let me give you this, Bobby.
I know you're like coincidental it, but so my question
for you here is is this coincidence or supernatural?

Speaker 4 (39:06):
So I love this for her.

Speaker 8 (39:08):
Coincidence anything that brings her closer to her husband that
she loved, A plus for it.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
But what are the odds?

Speaker 4 (39:17):
The odds?

Speaker 5 (39:17):
What?

Speaker 8 (39:18):
So her husband orchestrated me having to leave a day
early from the crowd has nothing to do with you, No,
because he wouldn't have come on because I paid my
own money to get him on that boat. Cooper Allen, Yes, yes,
I cut my money to pay to get him on
the boat because I had to leave a day early.

Speaker 7 (39:30):
Who this is a ring?

Speaker 3 (39:32):
This is a I guess, So I guess he did.

Speaker 8 (39:34):
So let me get this straight. I want to say
this in a way though that is extremely respectful. So
I love this for her.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
But now, beautiful moment, I mean, she's like in tears.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
Now can I just be the person now that just
says stuff?

Speaker 3 (39:49):
You mean that like squashes on someone.

Speaker 4 (39:51):
No, no, no, just what because I love this for her.
I didn't want to tell the story because I don't
want to be the guy that like rains on a per.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
I shall sit back.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
No, no, I just don't want to be pregnant.

Speaker 7 (40:02):
Well, we heard her story, so let's hear your story.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
I don't have a story. All I'm saying bring an
interesting wrinkle.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
In my mind.

Speaker 8 (40:09):
I go my wife, my wife being extremely pregnant, and
the doctor saying you can't be out at sea with
no way to get back, and I'm like, okay, I
have to leave a day early. So then I take
the money that I'm getting paid to pay for Cooper
Allen to come on the boat. So that would mean
her husband got my wife pregnant at a certain time. Yeah,

(40:30):
her dead husband IM pregnant and my wife no.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
I mean, he says, I'm mad at him.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
He was part of the pregnancy.

Speaker 8 (40:38):
He was probably he was okay, and I'm okay with
that if if I can't prove that's not true. By
the way, I can't prove that all that didn't happen.
But I'm saying in my mind, I go, oh, this
all happened because of some you know, physical some health things. Uh,
doctor says, this wife gets pregnant at this point, and
then I go, hey, I will pay for another artist
because I can't stay a day, And so I paid

(40:58):
for Cooper Allen to go on that boat with my money,
and so he comes on the boat and then all
that happened.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
I think that is a beautiful coincidence. I love it.

Speaker 8 (41:08):
I love it, and so I don't want to speak
ill of it because you put me in a place
to speak ill of it. But I'm also being met
with the logic of the situation. But I also can't
prove that her deceased husband didn't impregnate my wife a
long time ago.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
WHOA, yeah, I don't know that he had to impregnated.
But he's orchestra. He's pulling this like he's somehow involved.

Speaker 7 (41:30):
Okay, so you think this is supernatural with the help
of the Lord.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
Okay, so then that's different. I think the Lord's helping
everything every single That's.

Speaker 10 (41:38):
What I hear out of this whole story, that this
was all part of the plan is because it.

Speaker 8 (41:43):
Could have happened to where it's go I'm like, well,
gotta leave a day earlier than I thought. Hmm, wonder
what we should do? And then all of a sudden,
it's like cool exactly he plants that in mind.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
It's like, why would you choose Cooper Allen?

Speaker 4 (41:56):
I have no way to prove that any of that
is wrong.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
I don't, by the way, strong selection, because he was awesome.

Speaker 7 (42:03):
He's great.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
Yeah, he was good, fantastic, like really good. They didn't
tell you, guys, no, no one said that. He may
not even know.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
It doesn't matter. But that was just I was just
using that in the story for That's how that happened.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Gotcha, So okay.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Well, but I love that for her.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
You were a part of a beautiful moment. Whether it's
coincidental or supernatural. It was a really cool story to
hear and a very special.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
Moment for her. I love all that. But you made me.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
I didn't. I can't make you do anything.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
You did.

Speaker 8 (42:33):
No, you wanted, you wanted me to speak on it,
and you knew how I was going to speak on it.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
You set me up to fail.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
Nope, Now you say what you want to say. I
can't make you say anything.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
I do love that story, though, that's all he's great.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
Huh yeah, wait the dead husband.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
Or Cooper nor both, but h Cooper's great.

Speaker 6 (42:52):
And I didn't know him, and he came into a
Bobby cast which was wonderful, and then I was like, oh,
I kind of get this guy because he would do
the mashups and I'd be like, some of those are
really good, some other corny, but who cares what I think?
But then I got to know and I was like, oh,
I think I like him as a person. Then I
played golf with him at an event, him and his dad,
and I was like, I love this dude.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
So what was crazy was she told Eddie and I
that story, thinking like, if you see Cooper again, can
you tell him thank you so much? Because I love
that was a special moment the concert. Well then lo
and behold, we didn't if we'd run into Cooper again,
but guess who was on our flight home. Cooper's manager,
So we got to tell him.

Speaker 7 (43:26):
That's cool and hopefully it'll get back to Cooper.

Speaker 4 (43:29):
It will very full circ this. We'll probably get back
to him as well too. It's the best Bits of
the Week with Morgan. Number two.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Aaron Watson stopped by the studio and It is really
fun to hear stories from him. Not only is he
talking about his next project, but he also talked about
taking his daughter to a lot of concerts, including Taylor
Swift and performing with his son on stage. So here
it is Aaron Watson Studio.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
Number one on the Bobby Bones Show. Now Aaron watching everybody,
come on, come.

Speaker 7 (44:08):
On here he is.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
He's making the rounds. This guy will shake hands with everybody.

Speaker 7 (44:15):
I like it.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
At the sake of our ratings. He will shake hands
with everybody. You should have.

Speaker 6 (44:21):
Thought about your ratings before you invited me on here.
I'm just throwing that out there.

Speaker 4 (44:25):
What's up, buddy, I'm good. I'm glad I didn't wear
that shirt.

Speaker 7 (44:27):
Were you gonna wear the same cardigan?

Speaker 6 (44:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (44:29):
Oh, you mean the one behind you or the one
the one behind me. I'm glad I didn't wear that shirt.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
I thought he was taking a jab at your pink
shirt and your cardigan.

Speaker 6 (44:36):
I would have accepted that and said, I'm glad you
didn't wear my pink shirt and cardigan as well.

Speaker 5 (44:39):
Well.

Speaker 6 (44:39):
I do have a cardigan one. I have one at home.
My daughter bought it for me, and you wear it.
I wore it once when we went to a Taylor
Swift concert, and uh.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
Because that's a Taylor Swift thing. How did you like
going to a Taylor Swift concert? It was fun. I
enjoyed it.

Speaker 6 (44:57):
I'll tell you, I've cried at two concerts in my career,
and one was at Paul McCartney when he got up
there and sang a song that he wrote for John.

Speaker 4 (45:05):
And then the other one was the Taylor Swift concert.
I cried. What moved you about that?

Speaker 6 (45:12):
Just this music that I've been enjoying with my daughter
her whole life, from when she was little, and then
seeing her just lose her mind, going crazy, having fun
and she started crying, and I think I just I
looked at her at some point and I was like,
my little girl is growing up quick, and I just

(45:34):
I realized I was having like a moment like I
realized I had. I was having a moment and it
was pretty special and it was it was a fun concert,
you know.

Speaker 7 (45:44):
You know.

Speaker 6 (45:45):
My daughter was very impressed that, like I was getting
recognized and took some selfies. But I did tell her,
I said, hey, I want you to look at this
where this section we're sitting go down because your Dad's
already done the math for what I paid for the tickets.
I said, go down eight rows from here, down eight
rows all the way over to the next walkway aisle.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
I said, those seats.

Speaker 6 (46:09):
Your old man has to play about one hundred and
fifty shows a year to make that much money. So
just letting you know how amazing, Like I was, like, girl,
I'm thinking the math. Of course, you know, there's no
telling what her production costs, but it was it was
a fun show.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
And yeah, the big show. People love the not obviously
the songs, but how she pulls off that show.

Speaker 6 (46:30):
It's so impressive. And I mean, I've always been a
Taylor Swift fan. I grew up my buddy Scott. His
mom is Liz Rose, So like wrote, I remember in
like the early nineties going over to Liz's house and
there was some guitars, and I remember asking Scott, like,
what's up with the guitars? And I remember Scott going,

(46:52):
I don't know. Mom thinks she's going to be a
songwriter or something. And so that's just such a great
story in itself. So but the weirdest thing ever happened
to me. And at the Taylor Swift concert, I guess
there was. One of the openers was like b ba
dooby or something.

Speaker 4 (47:10):
I'm gonna bet you're not pronouncing that right, but I
don't know.

Speaker 7 (47:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (47:14):
I'm probably not saying it right. I mean, my daughter here,
she really helped. You might be saying it right though,
I've just not heard that. So after b Badoba or Bbadoobee.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
Mike, we're gonna come to you in a second for
an official explanation of who it is.

Speaker 6 (47:28):
It is bbadoobe You're right, congratulations, All right, thank you, Mike.
I'm not familiar with that artist. So my daughter goes dad.
So after Bbadoobey's performance, Jolie looks at me and goes, dad,
if you need to go to the bathroom, now is
the time because Taylor shows like three hours. So I

(47:48):
was like, okay, let's go. So we go up to
the bathrooms. There is a mile long line in the
girl's bathroom. The guy's bathroom there's no line. So I
was like, thank you Lord. I walk in about the
same time as this, like high school dude. We walk
through the first set of doors, we walk in the
next set of doors. This this bathroom is packed full

(48:12):
of high school girls. Oh, wanting to get a quicker
way to into the bathroom. Oh yeah, they're in the
men's bathroom. And that high school boy was like he
said I remember, he goes, oh, heck no me. I'm
in my forties and I don't have that kind of
negotiating power with myself anymore. It's like, I'm not gonna

(48:33):
make it three hours, dude. There are there are four
other dads pulled up to these journals, right and I'm
looking at all these girls and I'm looking at this
situation and like my mind's racing, like what do I do?

Speaker 4 (48:45):
What do I do?

Speaker 6 (48:46):
A dad walks away from one of the urinals. It's
my turn, and he kind of gives me this like.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
I don't know what to do? You know, do you
what do you do? Kind of look.

Speaker 6 (48:57):
So I'm like, okay, we're doing this. We're doing this.
So I pull up to the urinal to do my thing,
and in the middle of the process, some girl behind
me says, Hey, Aaron, why don't you sing us a song?

Speaker 4 (49:13):
Oh yeah?

Speaker 6 (49:14):
And I was like, that's really that was pretty messed up.
And I and I literally said that, I said, girls,
and they're all laughing. I said, girls, that's messed up.
That's messed up, girls. And I mean, but we had
so much fun. I love going to concerts and it's fun.
That's kind of me. And I don't to go to
many concerts though, because you're on the road a lot,
not a lot. I don't get to go to a lot.

Speaker 4 (49:36):
Every time I see you on TikTok, you're on the road,
You're no, you're doing a show? Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 8 (49:41):
Are you doing a lot of shows? Oh yeah, that's
all I'm saying, Like, you're on the road a lot
playing shows.

Speaker 6 (49:45):
We always my daughter has the bands in town app
and so I'm like, find the dates where you know,
we're going to a George Strait concert. We bought tickets
this week and it's on a day that I have off,
and so we have a lot of fun. She has
a long list of artists we're gonna go see, and

(50:05):
I'll be honest, I know a lot of them about
as well as you know Bbadooby.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
I do not know Biba Dooby.

Speaker 7 (50:10):
That's the thing. I never even heard of Bbadobey.

Speaker 4 (50:12):
Like I'm out, I'm out of here.

Speaker 6 (50:13):
Yeah, I'm sometimes just like I am. I She's taken
me to places where I look like that dad, Like
I'm like, let's go. But just seeing her smile and singing,
like I whatever it takes.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
Do you.

Speaker 8 (50:31):
Feel though, like when you go to these shows with
your daughter, like does she like any of the music
that you also liked?

Speaker 4 (50:39):
And that does that ever hit you?

Speaker 6 (50:40):
Like, it's so cool that she likes music that I
also like, like older stuff. Oh yeah, like she's she
loves the Beatles, she loves Elton John She's I mean,
I posted a video a while back.

Speaker 4 (50:52):
She's in there at night.

Speaker 6 (50:55):
You know, I can hear her in there in the
bathroom getting ready for bed, and she is just singing
Keith Whitley at the top of her lungs. So it's cool.
Like we did this little cover album just for fun
a couple of years back called cover Girl, and I
did it actually as a project with Jolie because all

(51:15):
Joe was listening to was Taylor Swift and I said, well,
Taylor's great. I go, there are so many like you
need to know, the Amy Lou Harris of the world, like,
and so it's fun for she and I. We take
a lot of drives, whether it's in my truck or
the Corvette or the jeep. We take these drives just

(51:36):
to listen to music, and she's in control of the radio,
so you never know what I want to be listening to.
What about your son he plays with you, he's I
think he's good, dude. Well, already have labels calling about him.
And I'm like, the boy hasn't even recorded anything yet.
He's so good. He's older though, Yeah, Jake is nineteen,

(51:57):
and so Jack. And then there's Jack who's eighteen. Jack
is too smart to be in the music industry. Jack
is already Jack Hardy has like two hundred ounces of
silver and a couple of ounces of gold, like he
works by stock. Like I was showing Jack some of
my most horrible investments I've ever made, thinking that would

(52:21):
show him like, hey, you win some, you lose some.
And he looked at me and he goes, why would
you have ever thought that that company was a good idea?
And I was like, okay, well, now you actually think
Pops is even probably dumber than you already did.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
So that backfired on me. But I'm having more fun.

Speaker 6 (52:41):
I'm telling you right now, if they gave an award
out for a country artist that has the most fun
at their shows, I would win it because I love
what I'm doing. But now I'm literally like on stage
with my son and we're jamming out. I'll go over
there and you know, mess with him and undo a

(53:02):
pearl snap or I'll go up and button the top
pearl snap, and I just love messing with him. And
then I just hand him the mic and I'm like,
Pops is tired, you know, Death's tired, and dude, he'll
just and they go nuts for him. And he's a
great songwriter. He's he's he's gonna be dangerous.

Speaker 8 (53:22):
Was there a point where he was actually good enough?
Did you ever let him play with you when he
wasn't quite there? To help him get there? And then
there was a point where you realize, oh, now he
can actually play with this. I don't really have to
like prop him up anymore.

Speaker 4 (53:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (53:35):
I was very protective for a while, like if he
would be if he was singing a song, I'd have
the mic just waiting to see, like if he kind
of stumbled, I could jump in and sing with him.
But he's been getting on stage with me since he
was I mean five or six, because he just loves
to play. And now he has my whole show memorized,

(53:57):
and like a couple of weeks ago, my drummer his
flight got delayed and we had soundcheck, so my son
just jumped in there behind the drums. He knows the
entire show on the drums too. He knows the entire
show on the guitar. He's he's super talented and it's
fun to watch.

Speaker 4 (54:16):
Is he a better guitar player than you?

Speaker 7 (54:18):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (54:19):
Like when he was twelve? Oh?

Speaker 6 (54:21):
Yeah, yeah, I mean but Jake, Jake started with the Beatles,
you know, then got into like Mark Knoppler, dire Strach
and I mean, he just started learning all this crazy
stuff and honestly, you know, and I'm not like the
biggest John Mayer fan, Like I have a great appreciation
for his music, and I like a lot of his songs,

(54:44):
but a lot of John's acoustic stuff is so like
Chad Atkins. It's just got that country fingerstyle guitar picking.
And Jake learned all that stuff. So his playing is
so good, and he's hungry. He calls me, you know,
he's in college, so he'll call me late at night
and I'm like, what are you doing. He's like, well,
I should be studying, but I'm working on a song.

(55:06):
And I'm like, well, just I know your mom says
you want you to make good grades. I'm like, if
you could just like, you know, have good attendance and pass,
but don't tell your mom I said that. What's Amarello like? Now,
it's been probably two years since I've been there. Well,
you know, I live I grew up there.

Speaker 7 (55:25):
Are you not there?

Speaker 4 (55:25):
No, I've been in Abilene for a while now.

Speaker 6 (55:28):
In three years since i've been there. What's Abilene like?
It's it's growing like crazy. They've got like it's it's
it's supposed to like double in size over the next
ten years because like Google and has showed up and
AI some aideals showed up. I mean we live about,
I don't know, twenty minutes south of town, kind of
where the hill country starts, Buffalo Gap, Texas.

Speaker 4 (55:50):
It's a thriving.

Speaker 7 (55:53):
Is it only you guys?

Speaker 6 (55:55):
No, it's actually started growing. But it's we're we're out
in the middle of nowhere, so it's it's pretty nice.

Speaker 7 (56:00):
What about you. You got a pretty big ranch? Big?

Speaker 4 (56:03):
Yeah, he's of land out there. Yeah, I've got a
We've got a big ranch. Out there.

Speaker 6 (56:06):
We built a ranch house on the edge of this
little canyon that has a bluff behind it, and I wrote,
I built that place just to write songs. So we
we use that house for a lot of different reasons.
I have rids come in, uh, my bus driver band
guys will stay there sometimes, you know.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
So that's not your primary house, No.

Speaker 6 (56:28):
It's kind of like the doghouse. Like also, if I
get kicked out of the house, I'm like, not the property.

Speaker 3 (56:35):
No, it's about.

Speaker 6 (56:37):
Five or six miles away. So but it's a really
cool place. And like if if someone at church, you know,
needs a place to stay, I'm like, well, you can
go to the ranch house. So we do a lot
of writing at the ranch and we I've recorded a
lot of vocals there, but that I don't know.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
It's just kind of my it's my happy place.

Speaker 6 (56:57):
And also to like, whenever I go out to the ranch,
I will look around and I'm like, you know, I
bought this with a song, like a lot of songs,
not one, but like a lot of songs.

Speaker 4 (57:16):
But it always makes me go wow. You know.

Speaker 6 (57:20):
People always say you think someday you'll ever like make it,
and I was like, that's an interesting You know, that's
an interesting statement because what is make it? And I've
always told people the reason why I'm successful is because
I made sure that I made goal, that my goals
were achievable. Like if I would have started off my
career saying I want to be bigger than George Strait

(57:42):
someday or as big you know, that's a pretty big dream.
But my goal was it would be really awesome if
someday I had a career where I could write my songs,
record my songs, play shows, and you well enough that
I could provide for my family. And so that's you know,

(58:06):
I've I've been able to achieve that. When you talk
about seeing your house going, I got that because I
wrote song. Sometimes I look at my swimming pool and
go I was able to get that because I just
say stuff that's crazy to me.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
I'm the same way.

Speaker 6 (58:18):
I'm the same way that I'm like, what in the
world it feels like it should be against the law.

Speaker 4 (58:25):
Because a swimming pool, to me meant somebody made it.
Do they even call swimming pools? They call it pools cool? Okay?
Is that weird? When I say swimming pool, I call
it a swimming pool.

Speaker 3 (58:33):
Well do you say washing powder?

Speaker 4 (58:36):
What?

Speaker 6 (58:36):
What?

Speaker 3 (58:37):
Okay? Detergent.

Speaker 8 (58:39):
Obviously I'm from Arkansas, but I have things that I
haven't been able to shake consciously. So I will just
say things, for example, that wasn't on purpose. I say
swimming pool. And if I'm talking about doing the laundry,
I think I've been better, but it's always been like, yeah,
we'll use some washing powder and bul book.

Speaker 4 (58:54):
That's awesome. I'm going to start using that. No, no,
it's never on purpose.

Speaker 6 (58:57):
But that's what they're alluding to is at times I
can't shake some of that fundamental Arkansas language. I like it, though,
it's I mean, it's like I'm gonna use that when
I get home that I'm gonna be like, Babe, where
are the flips of washing powder?

Speaker 4 (59:12):
She could be like, what are you talking about? Yeah?
So no, I'm the same way.

Speaker 6 (59:16):
I'll say I'll say something and I don't I can't
think of a.

Speaker 4 (59:21):
Word right now.

Speaker 6 (59:22):
But I'll say something and people be like, what did
you just what did you just actually say? And I
don't know if it's you know, being raised in West
Texas and my mom.

Speaker 4 (59:30):
For sure, West Texas vernacular for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
how long you guys been married? Gosh, twenty four years.
She's put up with me for twenty four years.

Speaker 8 (59:41):
What's what's the what's what? It's hard to say like
why or like what's the reason? But what do you
feel like is the common thread in relationships like yours
that have lasted A.

Speaker 4 (59:52):
Good woman that's a patient and you know, I think.

Speaker 6 (01:00:00):
I think the best way I can describe it is
like I remember when I was like four or five,
my mom and dad got into a knockdown, drag out argument,
and I remember Mom slammed the front door and I
was in bed, and my bedroom was the closed in

(01:00:20):
single car garage that my dad, you know, when my
sister was born, he turned that into my bedroom. So
when Mom fired up the car that night, I remember
the headlights like lit up my room, and I was
pretty upset about it. And when I'm sure my mom,
I'm sure Mom drove down the street to her sister's house,
my aunt Be. I have an aunt Be, and I'm

(01:00:43):
sure they had like a diet coke and they she
cooled off and she came home. And when she came
home that night, she came into my room and I
was so little but I remember this, she said. I
asked her, I said, what what happened with you and dad?
And she said, well, we had argument. And I was like, well,
what happened, you know, like what was going on? And

(01:01:04):
she said, well, I'm just going to tell you this,
she said right now. I do not like your daddy,
she said, but I love him with all my heart.
And I think that's the mentality that like, you know,
because that's the mentality you got to have because I'm

(01:01:25):
not naturally like that, Like I'm more dramatic, like the
sky is falling. If there are times where I'm like,
if it wasn't for the kids, like I just want
to pack my bags and hit the road. Of course
I'd get ten miles down the road and be like
where am I actually going? You know, But that's how

(01:01:45):
that's how I work, That's how my mind works. And
you know, I just think it's one of those things where,
you know, for me in this phase of my life,
you know, it's just you know, I it's not easy.
I mean, I'll just say this, it's just not easy.
It not not easy. Sometimes I'll say like impossible, So.

Speaker 3 (01:02:10):
You know you're really selling this.

Speaker 6 (01:02:12):
Yeah, I mean, but it's one of those things really
and you feel like the villain and she's the greatest
superhero of all time.

Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
Well, well he was the one that was He's he's gonna.

Speaker 7 (01:02:21):
Pack, That's what I'm saying, Like, he's the one that's like,
I gotta go.

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
I think maybe if she's here, she'd be like, well I.

Speaker 4 (01:02:27):
Was already, she was here. She's just slap him and say, Aaron,
stop talking.

Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
Yeah, she would give him a shovel.

Speaker 6 (01:02:35):
No, it would be this this this look she gives
me where it's like, please stop talking, where she just
does the side I like, you have to say anything.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
It sounds like there's moments where y'all don't like each other,
but you love each other absolutely.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
But that's that's any relationship. Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (01:02:52):
The true love is there, unconditional love.

Speaker 6 (01:02:56):
The secret though, I mean I don't I don't know
the secret, you know, if if we're gonna be married,
if if we make it fifty something years, bro, we
still got the other side of the mountain to go.
So it's like, but I think it's just that it's
just trying to trying really hard to work through the
tough stuff and man, we've had some you know, we've

(01:03:17):
had some tough stuff, you know. I mean we lost
a child together, and you know, I think if we
were to like probably dig deep into counseling, I do
think that that probably that was hard on she and
I both, just you know, there were and at that
time we had like a literally a.

Speaker 4 (01:03:38):
Like a four year.

Speaker 6 (01:03:39):
Old, a two and a half year old, and like
we had three little ones already, So I mean, I
don't know, it does make for good songwriting material, you know,
And that's life and a lot of times I try
to capture those feelings and put it into a song.

(01:03:59):
And I really I try to do that with a
lot of my music. Like, man, if I'm feeling something,
I try to be real about it because you have
to think there's other people out there that are going
through those kind of things. And I've always found music
to be very therapeutic. So even to write, Oh writing,
writing is my favorite thing. Writing is It's what I

(01:04:21):
live for. Like I wake up in the morning excited
to make coffee and go sit on the back porch
and write. And I tell you, there's like me writing
right now. I'm a different writer. Like I know, I'm
not supposed to talk about the next record. We've got
this new record Horse. They're just about to do one
with twenty six songs here, Yeah, and it's gonna have

(01:04:41):
forty on it when it's all said and done. But
I've already finished the next record, and.

Speaker 4 (01:04:47):
Don't say that one's even better. You know, we're focused
on this one.

Speaker 6 (01:04:49):
Can't help it, can't help it. But the thing about
it is is that like, I don't know why why now?
I feel like my mom's always set up. Like I
remember saying, Mom, am I ever going to grow sideburns?
And she was like, baby, you're just a late bloomer.
So I don't know if it's my songwriting has been
kind of a late bloomer. I'm so proud of all

(01:05:11):
my past twenty five years of songs, but I just
feel like I'm seeing things differently. I don't know if
it's just a combination of where I'm at in life
or probably too it has a lot to do with
the fact that I have two kids that are writing,
and I want them to see my work ethic, I
want them to see how hard I work at my craft.

(01:05:32):
Those kind of things explain like I'm five, what it
means to be an independent artist, which you are a
lot of freedom and that's one reason why I'm independent.
Also survival. I mean, if you have a dream and
you want to be a country singer and you know,

(01:05:54):
no labels in town, I think you're good enough, Well
do you just give up on your dream? And it's
a much different environment than it was. I mean even
when we first met, you know, almost ten years ago
or whatever. I mean back then. I mean, go look,
go go back and look at Country Music Awards shows

(01:06:16):
in two thousand and fifteen, sixteen seventeen, like it's me
and about three other dudes that have buckles and cowboy
hats and boots on and back then that they called
me a hat act. Back then, you know, I was
Texas music and it wouldn't work outside of Texas, and

(01:06:37):
you know, and so I love now when Ella Langley
has a song that right off the bat talks about
my two hometowns a Mailla and Apley. The first second
I heard that song, I made a video and I
was like, this is gonna be the big song.

Speaker 4 (01:06:50):
It's gonna be a number one hit. So I mean,
I don't know, it's like.

Speaker 6 (01:06:57):
I I I think that I do take a little
pride in being able to talk to a lot of
independent artists to saying, hey, what's your business model? It's
about running a good business, making good business decisions. But
I also love the fact that, like, I'm recording, I've
got sessions in the March, We're recording some fun little

(01:07:19):
side projects. I'm recording it again in May. I just
love the fact that I don't have to ask some
record label like is it okay?

Speaker 4 (01:07:27):
If I do this? Is it okay?

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
You know?

Speaker 4 (01:07:29):
If I get excited about the music, that's what matters.

Speaker 6 (01:07:32):
So sounds like the good is you as a creative
can do the creative things that you want to do.
It sounds like the difficult thing is, especially early, is
nobody's funding it. You're having to fund everything yourself. You're
having to find all the money to make all the
things happen. Yeah, that's like we are. We've got this
five year plan and this new album, Horse named Texas

(01:07:53):
is day one, and we're going to be going to
radio over the next five years. Well you're here now,
I'm here when you're literally here now day one?

Speaker 7 (01:08:02):
Okay, I'm just making sure what is day one?

Speaker 4 (01:08:04):
You know where you are We're not a Chick fil a,
Like we're here.

Speaker 6 (01:08:08):
This is day one, Okay, I was like day one
of my five year plan.

Speaker 4 (01:08:12):
We must be on the Bobby Bones Show. There are
twenty six songs on this record. It's a lot of songs.
Could you not part with some of them?

Speaker 7 (01:08:22):
Did you want?

Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
Why that? Why?

Speaker 8 (01:08:24):
I'm just always when it's an odd number, like twenty six.
If it were eleven or twelve, I get it standard, yeah,
if it were forty and you're like, it's a double album,
but twenty six is kind of an odd number of songs.

Speaker 4 (01:08:35):
Why well, we had them recorded.

Speaker 6 (01:08:41):
They're all songs I'm proud of, and those are all
songs that I wrote. Dear in that phase what would
you call that phase? What was that season called?

Speaker 7 (01:08:50):
Well?

Speaker 4 (01:08:50):
The last four years a lot of ups and downs.

Speaker 6 (01:08:53):
I had two vocal cord surgeries, had a lot of
time off, and for me, it's like I wrote all
these songs together, and you know it's it's for me.
I don't want to sit here and be like, I'm thankful.
I've had this long career. I've done enough for me.
I want to do more than I've ever done in
the next five years. And so I love those songs.

(01:09:16):
Those songs are finished, those songs need to go out.
I'm passionate about them right now. But I'm already having
a hard time not wanting to push this next record.
I've already finished, and Greg is over there like stup
do not well so am I. I'm like, stop talking
about the next record. We got twenty six songs here
in this record. It's out now.

Speaker 4 (01:09:35):
It's my art and it's like it's it's it's one
of those things.

Speaker 6 (01:09:38):
It's it's almost like talking about your kids, like I
found myself, especially when they were little and baseball and
like we go in somewhere next thing. You know, I'm like,
I talked about my kids the whole time and did
not talk about the record. But it's just you get
you get excited about the music. And so but yeah,

(01:09:58):
Horse named Texas. It's it's a story about my career.
It's it's where I've been, where I'm at, and where
I want to go and why I do it. Like
the second verse says, came up short, been bucked off,
had my heart stomped in the dirt, but I got
back up, got back on Tom and Tom again, and
after all these years, I've learned a winner's just a

(01:10:20):
loser who keeps on losing till the day they finally win.
And that's just the story of It's a lot like
your story.

Speaker 7 (01:10:28):
Fall Until You Don't. It's one of my books.

Speaker 4 (01:10:30):
Absolutely, I should have made you a co writer on there.

Speaker 6 (01:10:33):
Or you just could have said, Hey, Biby's book Fall
Until You Don't on Amazon.

Speaker 4 (01:10:37):
Herey, where's where's what camera do I look at? Pick one?

Speaker 6 (01:10:39):
Go on Aaron Watson. Here, Bob, Bobby's new book Phil.

Speaker 4 (01:10:46):
Until You Don't.

Speaker 6 (01:10:48):
It old book actually inspired me to write this whole
new album, Horse Named Texas, and it will change your life.

Speaker 4 (01:10:54):
It's my camera. Okay, Hey, it's Bobby here.

Speaker 8 (01:10:57):
I wrote that book Fail Until You Don't, inspire by
the record Horse named Texas Aaron Watson. That came out
years later, but I really felt it in my heart
what it was gonna say. So please check out Horse
named Texas. Now that's my dog, right, that's back and forth.

Speaker 4 (01:11:08):
That's my dog.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
We both did that, and it's like you're a loser
till you're not.

Speaker 4 (01:11:14):
Yeah, it's fell until you Don't don't. It's like felling
til you don't. No horse named Texas.

Speaker 6 (01:11:20):
But it's also it's just one of those things like
like I love baseball.

Speaker 4 (01:11:24):
I love baseball. Hall of Fame hitter fill.

Speaker 6 (01:11:28):
Seventy percent of the time. So what do you It's
like I tell my boys, you went over four? Were
you gonna cry about it? Or we're gonna work on
the next game? Like what what are you gonna do?
I mean, if you have, you have to understand that's
just part of that's just part of the process. And
also why do you do it? Like if I'm doing
this to have big hits and number one records and

(01:11:51):
all that stuff, win awards, Like if that's if that's
the reason I'm doing this, I'm gonna be disappointed at
the end of the day. But like the Bridge says
something like if I choke or wind up broke, god knows,
I do it all over again, because if I wrote
one song that saved a life, wouldn't that be worth

(01:12:11):
it in the end?

Speaker 4 (01:12:12):
And that's why you do what you do. You're I
get up on that stage.

Speaker 6 (01:12:15):
Those people have paid their hard earned dollar to come
see a show, and my job is real simple, just
to give them a good time.

Speaker 4 (01:12:23):
And that's what I do every night.

Speaker 6 (01:12:25):
If we played a show in Knoxville a couple of
weeks ago, not gonna lie. When you see that you
only pre sold eight percent of the tickets, you feel
that like ugh feeling inside. But at some point you
suck it up. You go out there and you give

(01:12:45):
them the best you got and then you know the
next night is a sellout, and that's easy.

Speaker 4 (01:12:51):
But it's you know, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:12:52):
It's I'm just in a really good place with my
music right now, and it's exciting. And like I said, Jake,
my boy is watching me. Man, he's watching me, and
so I haven't I've got a lot to teach him.
And also too, I'm not gonna I am fixing. I
have some big moments because his old man's not gonna

(01:13:15):
go down without a fight. I'm not gonna just start
opening up for him out of nowhere like he's got.
You know what I'm saying. It's like it's like getting
out there and playing basketball with them. They're better than me,
and I know that I think I may have pulled something,
and pulled something right here. Can't let them show. I
can't let them see that, you know, And I box
them out a little harder get a little more aggressive,

(01:13:37):
fight dirty. You can't let those boys beat you. You
gotta the old man. It's the old man thing.

Speaker 8 (01:13:42):
I feel like you think you're dying. Dude, you're scaring me.
You're like, I got five years and I'm out of here.
Just say to me that you're not dying.

Speaker 4 (01:13:47):
I'm not dying. Okay, good, that's all I want to hear.
Here's the deal. Okay, here's the deal. No, but he's
acting like.

Speaker 6 (01:13:51):
I got five years and then they're gonna spread my
ashes at sea.

Speaker 4 (01:13:54):
Here's the deal.

Speaker 6 (01:13:56):
I'll come back in five years and be like, Okay,
that five year plan didn't work, but this year playing you,
this next five year, this is the one.

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
That's the one where you're opening for your son.

Speaker 6 (01:14:07):
That's the one where I'm opening for Jacos. I've got
so much exposure. Just really glad we had that kid.
Tell me about Pontiac what I think is interesting and
I love it. You wrote the song by yourself? Yeah,
so is that one of those you just grab a
guitar at home. You really didn't have it set it?

Speaker 8 (01:14:24):
This is Can I do my romantic version of you
writing this song and you tell me how wrong I will.
Whenever people write songs by themselves, I feel like there's
just some sort of inspiration that happens and they just
pick up a guitar and it wasn't in the calendar
for a RITE because they're not writing with somebody, and
they're like, I have this idea, let me see how.
And maybe you're even coming up with something for a
RITE that you have coming up in the future, and
you're like, oh man, this is just kind of falling
out of me. And the next thing you know, you're like,

(01:14:45):
I don't think I need anybody. This is everything exactly
how I want to say it. Anybody else putting it
on it would change how i'd say it. So I
think I'm gonna record this as a work tape, and
then eventually you fall in love with it so much
you're like, I'm going to record this as a song
and then it becomes a single. That's the romantic version
of my head.

Speaker 4 (01:14:59):
That's very cool my whole life.

Speaker 6 (01:15:04):
When there's something going on in my world, like I
will call my mom and I remember I was like, so, Mom,
tell me, like Dad, if he did this and it
upset you, what would like, like, what do I do?

(01:15:25):
And so that's where that song came from. That came
from me, I don't know, doing something stupid, upsetting my wife.
Something's going on, and me just going to my mom
and saying, hey, now there are a few you know,
they say country music is like three three chords in

(01:15:46):
the truth, So that song has like five chords.

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
So and my mom drove a Monte carlo an occasional lie.

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
Got it?

Speaker 4 (01:15:54):
Got it my chords and an occasional lie. I like it.
The five chords and a fib.

Speaker 5 (01:16:01):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:16:01):
And I've never heard my mom cuss. And I actually
called and my mom. She's such a wonderful lady, and
she's so straight laced. Like I had to take down
an Instagram post two nights ago because my mom didn't
like it and it annoyed me so much. But that

(01:16:22):
mama's boy inside of me.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
Went, fine, well what did you do?

Speaker 4 (01:16:27):
Well I did?

Speaker 6 (01:16:28):
I did an interview with my buddy and he asked me,
what was the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me
at my show? And I said, well, it's happened several times,
but like having a lady breastfeeding her baby right in
front of me, I was like, there was the cutest
little baby baby boy you ever saw. And he's got
on little headphones and he's breastfeeding right there as I'm

(01:16:51):
singing honky Tonk songs. I was like, and the whole
thing is I'm like, stare at the woman in her eyes,
but I know something is going on down there, right,
So we talked about it. So my wife when she
was breastfeeding. It's a brand called hi to Hooter. It's
actually that's what. It's just something that a woman will
drape over herself. And so we jokingly were like, we

(01:17:14):
need to get some Aaron Watson how to Hooters at
the merchandise booth. So I made a funny post about it,
and my mom literally commented on my post like I
don't like this. I don't think this is appropriate. And
I was like, oh, I was like mom. I was like, Mom,
I'm just kidding. She goes, well, I just don't. She goes,
I just don't think that's funny. She I just don't

(01:17:35):
like that, and she was like I don't think And
now I was like fine, and whatever her mom control
that she has over me, I just went up to
the little three dots at the top and delete and sorry.

Speaker 4 (01:17:48):
You know, merch coming know how to hooter? Merch is coming.
So the song is about your mom.

Speaker 6 (01:17:55):
Yeah, it's about leaning on her, you know, you know what,
how did it? It's kind of the same question you
asked me earlier, like how long have you been married?
Like what's how did you get through that? Or how
have you gotten this far? Like what's the secret? It's

(01:18:16):
me leaning on my mom, like you know, And I
think a lot about my granddad. My granddad was a
great guy, but apparently he had a phase of his
life where he was drinking, making a lot of bad decisions.
And I think about my sweet grandmother that just somehow
kept that family together. And I mean, I think, without

(01:18:38):
a doubt you have to give credit to my grandmother
for keeping that thing together. So it's it's talking to
mom about like what did dad do? How did you
do it? How did y'all do it? And so that's
just kind of a special thing when you can take
a memory a moment in your life and just kind

(01:18:58):
of it's like a it's like a snapshot of that
moment in a song.

Speaker 4 (01:19:03):
So that one's and it's also a song is fun
to play live. It also got added by a ton
of radio stations. Your five year plan is working. It's working. Yeah, congratulations,
we're gonna play. We're gonna play. Thank your brother.

Speaker 8 (01:19:14):
Yeah, it's good to see you. Horse Named Texas is
out twenty six songs.

Speaker 7 (01:19:19):
You're proud of it.

Speaker 6 (01:19:20):
Say yes, say it, say yes, yes, yes. Don't say
about a second thing you're writing now. But I think
it's fair to say too. Since we've talked a lot
about my wife and now she's been putting up with
me for a long time. I think it's it's we
need to be honest, that everyone needs to know that
all the proceeds from the Horse Named Texas album goes

(01:19:40):
straight into her purse.

Speaker 7 (01:19:42):
And the White Foundation. Yes, that's good.

Speaker 4 (01:19:45):
I get nothing.

Speaker 7 (01:19:45):
That's good.

Speaker 4 (01:19:46):
I like that. Good to see you again, man, dude.

Speaker 6 (01:19:48):
It's great to see you guys. Proud of y'all, and
I love your new place. It's really cool. Thanks, thank you. Yeah,
this is radio day won Radio They won. That was
confusedly for a minute.

Speaker 8 (01:19:57):
Yes, all down the hill from here Aaron and music
as Instagram is, I do also your TikTok.

Speaker 4 (01:20:02):
I follow you on TikTok, so I don't know what
it is. Yeah, it's same thing, dude, I told you
this last time. Your tiktoks are great. Thanks brother.

Speaker 8 (01:20:07):
Even do you ever get annoyed when they don't hit
and you think it's really funny and or do you
even look back to see if they hit.

Speaker 6 (01:20:13):
I think of it as I'm just throwing darts because
I've posted stuff that I thought was stupid, Like like,
I'll give you a quick example. I was holding this
lady's baby at the rodeo in Vegas, and I'm holding
this little boy and his pacifier pops out of his
mouth and goes down into this crevice. And I reached
down to get the pacifier and when I reached when

(01:20:35):
I when I found it, there's literally a beer, a
full beer next to it. So I pulled out a
beer in a pacifier and I was like yes, and
the mom video of that, I was like, oh, it's
kind of funny. So I posted it and the thing
had like thirty million views, and I'm like what. And

(01:20:56):
then I'll post something good and it's like two hundred
views and I'm like, oh, that sucks anyways, and I
just I think about throwing darts.

Speaker 4 (01:21:05):
Maybe one will hit. I don't think much of it.

Speaker 6 (01:21:08):
I'm but but I want to be consistent with I
got some I got some good ones coming up this
next week.

Speaker 4 (01:21:13):
And he's like, the ones I've got today, go ahead,
wait till you see the ones that are coming down
a few weeks. Yes, you know, but you do good too.

Speaker 12 (01:21:22):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:21:22):
Hey you're one yesterday. Oh yeah, popping. Look it's popping, bro,
let's go.

Speaker 6 (01:21:29):
I'm calloused at this point with negative feedback. It doesn't
bother me anymore. I've just had so much of it.
I've got to grow with it. Do you know what
I say to people, Like if somebody says something awful
to me, I have two responses.

Speaker 4 (01:21:42):
It just shuts them down.

Speaker 6 (01:21:43):
Either I say you're not wrong, or I'll say you're
not my mom. And I just posted on there and
it's just like you you have they have nowhere to go.
If you agree with them, they have nowhere to go.
That just stops them dead in your And then like
just telling someone you're not my.

Speaker 4 (01:22:01):
Mom just says it all. You're not my mom.

Speaker 6 (01:22:05):
You can't only my mom can make me take down
a post and then say listen to Pontiac streaming now.

Speaker 4 (01:22:13):
Listen to Pontiac Streaming now.

Speaker 8 (01:22:15):
Uh, you guys, check out the record it is that
It's a horse named Texas. Twenty six songs all written
by Aaron, a lot by himself with other co writers
that are excellent, but all written by Aaron.

Speaker 6 (01:22:24):
And uh, yeah, it's good to see you man. It's
good to see you too, buddy. Great great appearance as always.

Speaker 8 (01:22:30):
And what also we talked a lot about now, but
Aaron and I did like way over an hour a
few months ago, just kind of like about his life
and how he came up. I encourage you go check
that out on the Bobbycast because I learned a lot
about you person there that this here is very much like, hey,
what's up now?

Speaker 4 (01:22:44):
What to some funny stuff. That was a lot of fun.

Speaker 5 (01:22:47):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:22:47):
We did it nude what people didn't know. Yeah, because
we really wanted to get back to the core of humans. Yeah,
we wanted it. We wanted I had alo on. But
other than that, we were good.

Speaker 6 (01:22:58):
The bolo that was a nice it was it kept
me from getting distracted.

Speaker 4 (01:23:01):
