Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan. I
just the bits.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
What's up everybody, and welcome to Best Bits Part two.
If you're here, you're trying to get caught up on
the Bobby Bones Show from this week, and I'm so
happy that you've made it. If you do want to
check out some more extra content, we've got part one,
Part three this weekend with Amy. Part one we did
a little recap of the crews, our thoughts, feelings, experiences,
and part three we always answer our listener question, so

(00:26):
check those out and if you just want to catch
up on the show, let's get into it. A listener
wrote into the show asking what is something people assume
you're great at that you actually struggle with And you're
gonna hear Bobby, Amy, Eddie Lunchbox all answered. Something that
came to mind for me that's really funny is I
feel like people would assume that I'm really good at
directions or you know, getting to places, but I actually

(00:47):
have to put everything in my GPS. I am very
directionally challenged. Even if I've been there multiple times, sometimes
I still have to put it in there. I go
off of landmarks more than North South East West, so
is a huge struggle with me.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Now you're gonna hear the rest of the shows.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Number seven it's the anonymous in body, anonymous inbar.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
There the question to be.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
A well man, Hello, Bobby Bones, what is something people
assume that you're quite comfortable with but you actually struggle with?
Signed b teamer in Boston. I'm gonna ask you guys
this question too, So to come back around what is
something people think I'm comfortable with? So number one is

(01:37):
probably one. The entertainment industry is a fickle industry, and
I feel like I've been spending twenty plus years building
something that is pretty great, but that it could all
be taken away and then I'm honestly all I've been
through therapy so much that I'm back and I'm poor again.
Like that's my number one fear, is that I'm back
and I'm back to where I started. And that's a

(02:00):
rational fear, but that's my number one fear, Like survival
mode always kicks in. It's like, man, there's some rough
times I'm gonna be back there. So I struggle with that.
I struggle with turning my brain off. So that's why
I don't sleep a lot but I also think that
goes back to that first one too, that I have
to always keep running because if I don't run, it's
gonna eventually turn into failures, which turns into no job,

(02:21):
which turns into being poor again. So me shutting my
brain off is that one. And then always feeling like
I need to be productive always, always, if there's any
time down, there's no time down, I got to figure
out what to do in that time down in order
to be productive. So that's probably the stuff that I
struggle with the most. There's also like the new dad stuff,

(02:43):
and I'm sure all that's gonna factor in, but that's
probably what I deal with most internally, even it's so
subconscious now, but it's still taxing on me.

Speaker 6 (02:54):
Amy you, Yeah, the parenting stuff that gets me for real.
That'll sometimes like then you realize like nobody has a
feared out, nobody knows what they're really doing. That just
that I'm capable and believing in myself, I feel like
sometimes I'll get a handle on it. But similar to you,
you have those ones that are so deep rooted that
you know you've done the work, but it'll still rear
its ugly head sometimes and you're like, it's like whack

(03:16):
a mole and you're like cool, get down.

Speaker 5 (03:19):
Oh, get down, not like James Brown, get down, get.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yeah, get down mole.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
No, get down wlack mole.

Speaker 6 (03:26):
Like You're just that's one that constantly will find its
way back up to the surface somehow, even when I
feel like I've done the work to push it down.
But then that's great because when it does, I sort
of know, I can recognize it and have that awareness,
but it still pops up even though I've worked on it.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Eddie.

Speaker 7 (03:44):
You guys may not know this about me, but I
have sensory overload. So like big rooms Vegas stresses me out,
which is a weird thing because everyone's always like, man,
you're so much fun whenever.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
You are always trying to a compliment about yourself.

Speaker 8 (03:56):
What do you mean again?

Speaker 5 (03:58):
This feels like with Morgan was like people tell me
how much young person.

Speaker 9 (04:01):
No.

Speaker 7 (04:01):
People are like always like a life of the party,
You're so fun, life of the party. Which I do
act like that when I'm in Vegas and big rooms
or whatever, but like a stray organ, that is right,
But in reality, I'm stressing out deep inside because noises.
A lot of people talking kind of stressing me out
because I just hear like white noise, almost like when
a television's just like going sh It's kind of crazy.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Lunchbox man, I don't struggle with a lot, so this
is I'm just digging deep here. I guess fashion. You know,
when we have a big event, you know what I mean,
I show up and I look good, but I'm not
really sure what I'm supposed to wear. But I still
knock it out of the park. But I do struggle
with that.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
But I think the question was people think you're you
don't struggle with it, but we know.

Speaker 8 (04:42):
You struggle with that.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Oh you do know. I figure when you put pictures
on Instagram, right, it's like, man, Lunchpot's got his fashion
game together now.

Speaker 5 (04:49):
I think whenever you wear something good, people freak out
because they're like, who is this guy?

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (04:54):
Okay, you're good.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah besides that, I'm good man. I don't really struggle,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 10 (04:59):
Reminded me of one that's like not as serious.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
But it is a thing like I don't like overhead lights,
Like I don't like lights on, Like at home, I
keep everything dim, and I I don't really realize it
unless like other people at my house or other people
bring it up and they want to turn the lights
off and I instantly go over and bring them down,
Like the it's over stimulating. There's something weird about it.

(05:22):
I'm not saying people think, oh, that's so weird.

Speaker 10 (05:24):
You're so fun.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
You're known as being the light person, which is weird.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Everybody like.

Speaker 9 (05:29):
Light.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 11 (05:32):
This is hard.

Speaker 8 (05:34):
This is hard.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
That's why I was being vulnerable with you guys, because
everybody thinks I'm awesome.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
They they expect that I'm loving this.

Speaker 8 (05:42):
I am.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
Can I say another one without you thinking that I'm
giving myself a compliment?

Speaker 5 (05:45):
Probably not?

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Oh, here we go, here we go.

Speaker 6 (05:49):
Well, because lunch trucks is also reminded me of like
fashion or dressing.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
I'm good, just go.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Some people might think that comes or if they see
outfits or something like.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
Especially how.

Speaker 10 (06:05):
That I might be good at that. But I don't.
Like I'm so uncomfortable. I freak out.

Speaker 6 (06:09):
I text like Caitlin, I have to get like five
friends opinions before buying anything, you know, Like it's not
I'm not that confident in that area at all.

Speaker 10 (06:18):
Like if you see me in a cute outfit. I
probably did not pick.

Speaker 8 (06:21):
It out, even though you think she looks like, so.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
We got you.

Speaker 8 (06:29):
This question was a trap, man.

Speaker 10 (06:31):
Is a trap?

Speaker 5 (06:32):
Got thank you for that. To close it up, sweating,
it's the.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Lunchbox is really annoyed with Eddie and then somehow it
turned into Raymondo is annoyed with me and it all
has to do with some dang cigars that came out
of Key West.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
Number six, Lunchwalk is so annoyed by Eddie because of
a cigar. I guess the one that he got from
Key West.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yeah, key West. He walked around Key West with it
in his mouth the whole time, never lit it. Okay, funny,
It was funny for a day. Then he brings it
back on the cruise ship, is walking around the cruise
ship with it in his mouth, never smoking it. Kind
of funny, but it's starting to get annoying. Then he's
walking around the office at work with the cigar in

(07:18):
his mouth still and it's like, dude, that was two
weeks ago. Put it away.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
You're just joking now right, I mean it's kind of
a power moved you really shouldn't be walking onund the office.
The cigar.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Now, okay, what are we doing.

Speaker 8 (07:30):
It's not lit.

Speaker 10 (07:31):
It's gotta be jermy at this point.

Speaker 8 (07:33):
Jermy.

Speaker 10 (07:34):
Yeah, like you've been sucking on it for a week.

Speaker 7 (07:37):
Man, and it's weird. Like if you smell it, it
still smells fresh. And the weird thing is when I
when I do sniff it, it takes me to key West.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
So we can just walk around the office with cigars
and cigarettes in your mouth.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
Now it's not lit, it doesn't matter. You still shouldn't. Really,
it's like walking on with a beer in your hand
not open. Yeah, Like there are just some things that
are appropriate for the office. For one bit that was funny,
I didn't see it fun he got it no.

Speaker 8 (08:01):
More, okay, I mean I still have it.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
No, we saw you walking down with the bottle of
whiskey gamy everywhere you went and he's still on the top.
Wouldn't you'd be like, Okay, it's a funny bit, but enough.
But Eddie's trying to like look cool.

Speaker 8 (08:12):
It does look kind of cool.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
I don't think it looks cool like.

Speaker 7 (08:15):
People like I see visitors walking in the office and
they look at me like that guy makes decision.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
Now they're looking at like, why do they have a
cigar in an office building?

Speaker 4 (08:23):
What is going on?

Speaker 5 (08:25):
Do you still have it with you?

Speaker 7 (08:26):
Yeah, it's a the refrigerator cause I read that if
you put like tobacco in the refrigerator, it stays fresh.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
In the green room. No, take it home the green room.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
With all the snacks for the artists guys.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
So it smells it up?

Speaker 8 (08:41):
No, no it doesn't. It's not lit.

Speaker 10 (08:42):
What's it called a humidor? Then you need one of those.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
We get one for the officers, for Eddie's one who
someone else was annoyed with Morgan about this too.

Speaker 8 (08:51):
She had cigars too.

Speaker 5 (08:52):
She went to the cigar place and took pictures. Is
it ray? Was it year?

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (08:56):
So like Eddie being a poser not smoking it. Morgan,
we go to this cigar shop and she had nothing
to do with the cigars. She thought they were gross.
She did her own thing, and then towards the very
end of Key West, she goes, oh, I'm gonna take
a picture next to this cigar painting and fake like
I'm smoking a cigarette and a cigar.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
Well, the problem with that is that's being such a poser.

Speaker 12 (09:15):
It's just she didn't at all participate in the cigars
until the Instagram picture.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
But can I be fair, I don't think any of
you guys actually participate in the cigars. You guys did
I never saw one cigar being smoked.

Speaker 8 (09:26):
Yeah, yeah, we didn't. We didn't light them.

Speaker 10 (09:28):
Yeah, because Ray also walked around chewing on his Yeah.

Speaker 13 (09:31):
And they also took pictures in there, by the way.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
It's like people who take pictures of them holding guns
and never shot a gun. That's kind of what it was.

Speaker 6 (09:37):
Like.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
Look how they got manly I am and it's like, dide,
you can't even know I load her unload that thing. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Yeah, I can't believe Ray called Morgan a poser because
Ray was doing the same thing. And here's how here's
how bad Ray was. He had it backwards.

Speaker 10 (09:48):
He was the.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
Mouth that like in a movie when someone's like they
get a bazook out and they're like, I'm ready and
it shoots out the bag.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
And he kept sucking on it so much, but he
made it really sharp, and his wife had to keep
taking it from him and unsharpening it because she was worried.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
What he was going to do with it.

Speaker 10 (10:05):
Like so wait what, wait what? Yeah, I don't want
to know.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
So you guys went to a cigar shop. Yeah you
bought a few, Yeah, I bought two. How much do
they cost?

Speaker 8 (10:17):
Twenty bucks each?

Speaker 5 (10:18):
And then it was just to look cool.

Speaker 7 (10:20):
I mean I think I wanted to, like because I
bought a lighter, but I just never lit it, and
then I'm like, why light?

Speaker 8 (10:25):
At this point, it's just part of like who I am?

Speaker 5 (10:27):
Now you know you are? They ever heard it is
not who you are? Okay? So here are the rules, Eddie,
take cigars home? Okay, raymondo hilarious Morgan. They need to
get over it.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Thank you. I like my picture.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, and they need to get over it.

Speaker 1 (10:46):

Speaker 14 (11:19):
I'd like to say that that was the best vacation
of my life, and that was I've been on a
lot of cruises. I've been on a lot of vacations,
and it was right up there. They had a spectacular time,
especially at Boozy Bingo all the shows. Morgan and Lunchbox
both hosted Boozy Bingo too. Funny Morgan, they had to

(11:39):
bring her a chair out because everybody just kept feeding
her shots and chug, chug, chug. And we were there
with another couple and my girlfriend actually won the jackpop
at twenty nine hundred dollars the.

Speaker 8 (11:51):
Last game of bingo, So that was cool of Bingo.

Speaker 14 (11:54):
Yeah, my girlfriend Sue and then Morgan was supposed to
meet us for shots at the casino after Sue was treating,
but nobody could find Morgan. Lunchbox was texting her quality
she passed out and we don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
I was upstairs in the cafetier eating French fries with chocolate. Uh,
there's there's some video proof of that. So that's where
I was. That's why nobody could find me.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
Were you trying French fries?

Speaker 6 (12:20):
Also?

Speaker 5 (12:21):
Were you trying not to be found or were you
unable to find yourself at that point?

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I was unable to find myself at that point, So
I did have a hammler with me making sure I
was eating and stuff because everybody was feeding me a
whole lot of shots.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
Did you guys find that went on a cruise the
alcohol did hit different, like because of the sea, because
of the or is it just you drink drink more
like that was anything on night wine.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
I think you just drink more because you don't realize
what time it is you're going. It's just like a
fun atmosphere and you're like, Oh, you walk by a
bar that bark was cool. Let me try that one.
Oh that has an ice like bar.

Speaker 10 (12:56):
Oh the ice that was so cool, very.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Like it keeps your drink cold and it feels cool. Oh,
let me sit there for a while. Then you have
two drinks, like walk over here. You're just on there's
no clocks. It's amazing.

Speaker 6 (13:09):
Yeah, you're right, there's no clocks. We made it places
on time. I mean, obviously we have our phones, but.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
There's a clock in your pocket.

Speaker 10 (13:17):
I know.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
I feel like you weren't allowed to see the time,
like they were keeping it from you, like you're on Guantanamo.

Speaker 10 (13:22):
Yeah. True, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (13:24):
It makes for a really good excuse though, when you're
it must be the water, for sure.

kind of like the same place. But they did throw
Cosmel there.

good show. If you missed any of the show, go

Show wherever you get your podcast.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
Number two.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
And speaking of the cruise, everybody bought different outfits to
bring on so we could all look our best, including Eddie,
who also now wants to return some things.

Speaker 13 (20:19):
That he bought specifically for the cruise.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
So this might bring up a ethical dilemma number four.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Let's hut back into this topic. Eddie bought some stuff
for the cruise. Some he wore, some he didn't, but
he wants to take it all back, Like.

Speaker 10 (20:31):
Some of this stuff he didn't wear.

Speaker 5 (20:32):
Yeah, some shirts wasn't to some stuff he did wear.

Speaker 7 (20:34):
Oh, I wore a couple, so there's a total of
three shirts. I wore two of them and I did
not wear one of them, so one of them still
has a tag. And the stickers and everything. So I
don't feel bad about that one. Obviously I can return
that one, but the I mean, why not just return
I'm not gonna wear these are like Hawaiian cruise wear.

Speaker 8 (20:50):
I'm not gonna wear that again.

Speaker 10 (20:51):
You're like, mister, I love the beach guy. You'll wear again.

Speaker 7 (20:54):
Correct, But these were a little big on me, you know,
so I didn't really they were a little too fluffy.
I really didn't like it. So I'm thinking I'm turn
them all back.

Speaker 5 (21:02):
If you wore it, you can't take it back.

Speaker 8 (21:05):
I wore it once on the boat.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, it's not like he was sweating, and you know, wearing.

Speaker 10 (21:10):
Once, it's in your arms ew, so.

Speaker 8 (21:13):
You can never. You guys, never take any.

Speaker 10 (21:15):
Clothes back if we've worn it.

Speaker 5 (21:17):
If I to me, like, my integrity would not allow
me if I've used something to take it back. Because
I used it, I paid for it, I used it,
I wouldn't take it back. I may give it away
to somebody, but I wouldn't take it if I didn't
wear it, had a tag on it, take it back.

Speaker 8 (21:31):
What if you like, bought.

Speaker 7 (21:33):
A shirt you wear it out and everyone's like, oh
that shir it's ugly, that doesn't fit good on you, Like, no,
that's not a good shirt. I think that you have
the right to go back and me, look, I don't
want it. I'm not satisfied with his shirt.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
I wore this and I got no compliments. People said
it was ugly. I mean, I guess you could be
honest with the store and they might be like, okay,
we'll take it back.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
I think there's a difference on will they take it
back versus should you Yes.

Speaker 6 (21:57):
I think that if you want to take back the
one with the tag and then take the other ones
and say, hey, full disclosure, I wore these, but they're
a little big. I'm like, not totally satisfied. Then they
may give you and they might be like, well, you
wore it. Sorry, our policies we can't, or they might
take it back.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
I wouldn't go on this route.

Speaker 5 (22:12):
I'd just be like I, you know, hey, he wouldn't
chase the honest.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
I would go more like I tried this on. I
took the tags off and then I was looking at
it and didn't really fit right.

Speaker 8 (22:21):
Boom, don't say.

Speaker 5 (22:22):
I wore it out, so not even don't go honest lie.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:27):
I mean it's like I wore saying it didn't fit right.
It's a lie.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
I wore shoes do a wedding and I cleaned them
and took them back and they were like, oh, did
you wear these? And they looked at the bottom and
they could tell I warm. I was like, yeah, but
they just didn't fit right. They give them my money back.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
But I think you'll get it back. Are you okay
with yourself if you do that?

Speaker 15 (22:43):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (22:43):
Because if you are, like.

Speaker 10 (22:44):
What would you teach your.

Speaker 9 (22:45):
Kids to do?

Speaker 8 (22:45):
Well, my kids don't have to know about this.

Speaker 6 (22:47):
But what I'm saying, what if they came to you
and said, dad, hey, what would you teach them to do?

Speaker 8 (22:52):
Guys, that's tough. Why are you putting that on me?

Speaker 5 (22:54):
Like you believe as a parent, though, there are some
things you can do with your kids. Never need to
know absolutely, okay, for sure.

Speaker 8 (23:00):
Don't talk about that.

Speaker 6 (23:01):
Yeah, but that's an easy way to check yourself of like, Okay,
what example do I want to be for my kids?
Like lunchbuck is pubalic, no problem. I'd teach my kids
to do this, but I don't think you would.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Why what?

Speaker 5 (23:10):
What?

Speaker 4 (23:10):
What?

Speaker 5 (23:10):
What is one with Would you teach your kids that
wear something and take it back?

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (23:13):
Okay? Do you would you teach yours.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
If it doesn't fit right?

Speaker 5 (23:17):
That's not the thing. It does fit right.

Speaker 8 (23:20):
It was a little bit, was a little bit.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
No no, no, that's not the same like it said large,
but it was really big. What you could they'll probably
take it all back. But if it were me, I
would take the one with the tag back and I
wore the other ones because you could have tried it
on with the tag and you chose not to do that.

Speaker 8 (23:35):
I didn't. Yeah, I just grabbed it off the rack.

Speaker 5 (23:38):
This update doesn't what you do? You just know, just
know Jesus knows. Okay, you got it okay, because everybody
else we may not know.

Speaker 8 (23:48):
That's a tough decision, guys, is it though?

Speaker 2 (23:50):
It is?

Speaker 8 (23:51):
It is because I'm saving like so much money?

Speaker 10 (23:53):
Oh gosh, where did you shop?

Speaker 7 (23:55):
Let's target? You got a Gucci Target? At least this
close that up.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
If you're still hurting from daylight saving time, some quick
things here. Think of daylight saving time as jet lag.
It's not losing sleep. It's I don't know that one
stupid because I don't think enough people fly with jet lag.
Give your body a few days to catch up. Okay,
we're doing that. We can have no joint. Yeah, that's
nothing we can even do, is one of them.

Speaker 10 (24:16):
Talk positively to yourself about it.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
Didn't make it. No, Make sure you get outside, preferably
in the sunshine to help combat some of the effects
of time change, like foggy thinking, feeling moody and of
course being tired. Getting some exercise and going to bed
earlier for a week and help sleep if you can,
and pay attention to what you eat. This is normal
to stuff.

Speaker 6 (24:34):
Yeah, let me tell you what I've been doing. Okay, insane.

Speaker 10 (24:39):
My body is handling this time change with ease.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
Oh you're just saying something I tell yourself.

Speaker 6 (24:44):
Yes, like this, I feel great. My body isn't impacted
by this at all. It's crazy, Like I just talk
to myself like that.

Speaker 8 (24:53):
Does that work?

Speaker 5 (24:54):
So far, so nice.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Number two Bobby got certified and something that is totally
life saving, and now he can just save all of
our lives.

Speaker 13 (25:09):
That's basically what he's prepared for now.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
Number three, I got my certificate in CPR. Yeah, we
did a couple of months ago, thank you, I'll talk
for me.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
I talk for me.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
So a couple of months ago we went and took
a class on baby CPR, and then we did adults
while we were there. Why not do adults CPR? Already
there we did the shockers. Oh you did a d
learned about that how to do it on adults and babies.
So I'm certified now I don't know what to do, Like,
I don't think I can teach it.

Speaker 8 (25:39):
Can't teach CVR now, No you can't?

Speaker 5 (25:40):
And why abut I certified in?

Speaker 8 (25:42):
Can you can use it?

Speaker 10 (25:43):
It's like if you wanted a babysit, it'll come in handy.

Speaker 5 (25:45):
I think about that. Yes, I get on craig No,
what's care dot com? What's the list for babysitters Angie's
lest I go on Angie's list now and be a babysitter.

Speaker 8 (25:55):
But if any of us like need it, you But
I don't need.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
To show you the card while you're unconscious. Now you're
it's okay, Hey guys, I got the card.

Speaker 10 (26:02):
Certain gigs you have coming up, like just added to
your resume.

Speaker 5 (26:05):
Hm, I am now certified in CPR. So we did
all that we did. You know what, babies mostly need
to be turned over and hit on the back, and
so they're choking.

Speaker 8 (26:16):
Yeah, that's when they're choking.

Speaker 7 (26:17):
But if their heart stops, you need to do the
little finger push.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
Okay, not anymore, they've changed that. Come on, tell me
for those that are wondering about baby CPR in the
last few months, there are no it's no fingers. It
was like that for twenty years. It's now two thumbs
and two thumbs, and it's faster because you do adults
to staying alive at that pace, you do babies with
two thumbs to what song to nine to five? It's

(26:41):
little faster because baby it's hard working. Nine two five.
What a way to make a live And that's but
that's okay, that's what's up. If it's if a baby's choking,
you turn it over and you give it five boom
boom booms on the back, and then you turn it
over and you do two thumbs in the middle. And

(27:02):
the thing about CPR that I realized too is you
have to let it totally, like reconcile. It was like
if you push down and you just come up a
little bit, you can't go like push, Look, you gotta
push down. Let it come all the way up. Okay,
push push push, push push, And then did an adult
and then you look down and see the chest. It's
a whole thing.

Speaker 8 (27:18):
We did it and the adult thing. Do you is
there no more? There's no more mouth to mouth?

Speaker 5 (27:21):
Right, So they don't recommend mouth to mouth because so
many people do it wrong. Oh with the baby, mouth
to mouth, you have to do over the nose in
the mouth.

Speaker 8 (27:29):
Oh, you cover the whole Thingay, over.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
The whole thing. I guess if it's a really really
small baby, just put the whole head in your mouth.
Oh uh No, they don't really recommend that. They recommend going.
When you call nine one one, you tell someone, you
tell someone specifically. You don't say, can someone call nine
one one? You go, you blue shirt, call nine one one,

(27:52):
and then you keep going until someone gets there. And
then we did the whole two pumps with a baby.
If you do pumps with your hand, you just do
one hand locked with a human with an adult, it's two.
I did the whole thing.

Speaker 7 (28:01):
And then what are the numbers on the pumps? Oh, say, adults,
what's the number?

Speaker 8 (28:06):
Like ten? Break?

Speaker 5 (28:07):
No, I don't you don't stop.

Speaker 8 (28:09):
You just keep going.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
You keep going till somebody gets there. I'm certified, so
I feel like I can say with the baby before
you go to the mouth, it's thirty then two puffs.

Speaker 8 (28:17):
God, that's such good information.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
Man thumbs, two thumbs. Okay, on choke. If a baby's
choking and conscious, you don't go with your finger.

Speaker 8 (28:27):
To pull it out, right, that was the old days.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
You turn it over and you go back five times.

Speaker 10 (28:31):
What's the song?

Speaker 5 (28:33):
I don't know, let's pick one.

Speaker 8 (28:34):
Now there's no song.

Speaker 5 (28:35):
Well I'm gotten back touting girl I love and I'm like,
forget you try that one. No, no, not that one.

Speaker 10 (28:44):
No songs, just thanks.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
Yeah, and if consciously, but then you do the thumbs
up front. If there's no there is a point where
you can go in and try to get it if
they're unconscious.

Speaker 8 (28:55):
Now, did you you use the ad machine?

Speaker 5 (28:57):
Right, it's on a baby. You put one on the front,
one on the back, And did the machine tell you?
It tells you everything, what to do? The machine tells
you everything. So you turn it on. It's like, how's
your day? And I'm like, well, not great, I'm using you. Okay,
good to know and then it says back away on
the adult. You do one, and it tells you just
so everybody know, it's very I have to grab one
of these. Yes, you put one. It tells you on

(29:18):
the chest basically upper chest and one on the side
like where the ribs are. Yeah, and then you'll have
to yell clear because I thought that was like the keyword, like.

Speaker 8 (29:26):
I don't know it does it?

Speaker 7 (29:28):
I did it even tell What's so cool about that
is it even tells you if the person doesn't need it, Yeah, has.

Speaker 10 (29:33):
Detective put it on and they're like, yeah, you're good.

Speaker 5 (29:36):
It never said you're yeah, you're good, but it'll say
something like detecting harderregulation or something.

Speaker 8 (29:42):
Yes, you can remove pads or whatever.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
We bought a machine for the house. Yeah, that's awesome.
Because she was also like, you have a poll and
there are people here, and she's like, you don't have to,
but you're gonna have a baby. So keeping your car
she said so many times, like athletic events, kids, it's
like just having your car. And we were like, all right,
we'll take one. That's such a good idea, so we
have we Well I wouldn't have it yet, but I

(30:06):
did a couple months ago.

Speaker 8 (30:07):
How much is one of those roun even hundred bucks.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
That's worth it? You can save up to get something
like that's worth it? I mean, you don't want to be.

Speaker 5 (30:14):
When you whisper that to me, you think some listeners
you kind of wanted to hide.

Speaker 10 (30:18):
It from something felt like asking this.

Speaker 8 (30:20):
Yeah, I thought it would be really expensive. Well that
is no, no, but I thought I was gonna be
like two million.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
Oh they're like, you don't have to have it, just
keep it in your car.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
Holy crab. So yeah, I'm pretty proud of that. We
went through, went through all the classes school. Babies are
are are built to make it, They're built to survive.

Speaker 10 (30:42):
Yeah, and there I was, what, I know where you
got that from.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
The ribs are full cartilage.

Speaker 10 (30:48):
Oh I thought you got that from Paradise.

Speaker 5 (30:51):
Oh that did happen on Paradise too, You're right, Yeah.

Speaker 10 (30:53):
That's where I was like, dang, babies are resilience.

Speaker 8 (30:55):
It's not a spoiler, is it?

Speaker 5 (30:56):
No, not at all?

Speaker 6 (30:57):
But trust me, but I thought about it three times
before it came out of my mouth.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
Babies ribcages are full cartilage, and they're like, go give
it the business. And they're also saying because we were
practicing on the adult dummy, because you have to push
hard and the thing has like sensors, like if you
do it right, it gives you two green lights, and
so I was getting two green lights. But I was like,
I feel like I'm pushing hard, like I might break asternum.
She's like, here's the thing. Uh, you break a starnum,

(31:21):
they're alive. You don't break a starnum they're possibly dead. Yes,
so if you do a broken sternum for a live
person is okay. And that may not be like by
the rule book, but I remember them telling me that
my fear was, what if I break someone's ribs. They're like, okay,
but if you break their ribs are still alive. I
think they'll get over it. They'll be happy with it's
worth saving their life. So took the class. Anybody needs

(31:44):
saving real quick?

Speaker 8 (31:45):
Not yet, man, not yet?

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (31:47):
So what I want to do is I got a
bunch of cheerios for everybody. I want everybody to start eating.
I just want to test something out. So eat these
cheerios and maybe we'll check in later on the show.
See everybody's doing okay.

Speaker 10 (31:55):

Because I feel strongly that spring forward is the painful one.

Speaker 10 (34:21):
Fall back obviously feels great.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
Yeah, feels so good.

Speaker 8 (34:24):
Extra hour?

whole week working with two thousand people.

Speaker 8 (34:49):
You were having fun though, drinking and both can be true.

Speaker 4 (34:53):
Yes, both can be true. Guys.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Go ahead, And why is Morgan irresponsible?

Speaker 4 (35:04):
Huh, Oh my gosh, she is so irresponsible, Like it
is time for Morgan to grow up, Like we are.
It is what Friday morning, and we got to get
off the boat and they tell us to meet in
this one spot by the sushi restaurant and we're there.
Morgan's there on time, has her three bags because she

(35:24):
has so much stuff, and then she gets to editing
her TikTok video that her and I did on the boat,
and she's so engrossed in her phone, editing, editing, editing, editing.
Oh look alright, I got it posted. They're like time
to get off the boat. Morgan gets up, walks off
the boat and is loading her bags into the transportation

(35:45):
to the airport, and she goes, oh, my gosh, where's
my black bag? Where's my black bag? It has my
computer in the five thousand dollars camera that belongs in
our studio. Where is it? Oh my gosh, I must
have left it on the ship. Lunch, take my bags.
I gotta go find it. And she goes running back
like they're gonna let her go back on your shit.

Speaker 5 (36:03):
You can't get back on the ship.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
We've already gone through customs. We've done it all, and
she's just like, I'm out of here, and she just disappears.
She left her bag on the ship with the two
most expensive things she has because she was so engrossed
in that social media.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
Man, it's time to realize that social media.

Speaker 10 (36:24):
She sounds so you want Morgan a girl, but yet
you sounds elderly.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
I mean, guys, when you have a computer and a
five thousand dollars camera, well yeah, that should be your
number one priority, not the TikTok video Morgan.

Speaker 5 (36:38):
Our response is.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
That exactly what happened.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
It's not totally inaccurate. This didn't happen.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
I did leave my bag on the ship, and it
was irresponsible. I was editing a video, but I was
also just exhausted. Guys, I've been on that ship for
eight days. I was not I was not in the
right state of mind. I was so excited to get
all my stuff and get back home. And yeah, I
definitely had a huge brain fart moment, and I did.
I left my bag on I did thanks to a

(37:07):
listener and Rick So, a listener messaged me on Instagram
as I'm panicking, right, you can't get.

Speaker 5 (37:12):
Back on it. Way.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Yes, you cannot get back on the ship once you've
gotten off.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
I learned that the very hard way.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
And so as I'm standing there, I'm trying to make
all these phone calls see who's left on the ship
to bring me my bag, because they said if they
had to go get it, it was going to take
three to five hours to go through customs and get
back to me, which I did not have. I didn't
have that time, and so I was calling everybody. Rick
was searching for it. It was like a scavenger hunt for
my bag on the ship. And then I just happened

(37:39):
to pop back on Instagram and a listener named Chris.

Speaker 13 (37:43):
He sent a picture and was like, is this one
of your guys's bags?

Speaker 6 (37:46):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (37:47):
Way, Oh that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Yeah, And I was like, oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (37:51):
Chris, wait hip hop, Wow you got it. That's very
Amy of you.

Speaker 9 (38:01):
I know.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
I had an Amy moment. And yeah, Chris saved my life.
He was like, I was like, where is that? Tell
me where it is. He's like, here it is. This
is the location.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Rick went and.

Speaker 13 (38:09):
Got it, and Rick bought it off, brought it off
the ship for me.

Speaker 5 (38:12):
So we talked to Morgan when she was on the boat.
She said she'd want a bunch of money in the
casino on our cruise, and did you bring all the
cash back with you?

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (38:21):
Yeah, there's another great thing, guys, another irresponsible moment for Morgan.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
I had a rough last day.

Speaker 13 (38:27):
I forgot to catch them in.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
So you have chips, you have boat chips, boat chips, guys.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
She wakes me on that Friday morning, She's like, hey,
so where do I cash in my chips? I said, girl,
We're at port. The casino is closed.

Speaker 10 (38:43):
Wait, so what does she do? Wait until next year
we're on.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
A different boat.

Speaker 5 (38:48):
You got to be able to mail him in or something, right,
I don't know.

Speaker 13 (38:51):
I haven't done a whole lot of research yet.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
I'm not listen.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
The last day, Boozy bingo to me in I was
not well. Okay, so that's why I did not catch
her chips in.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
I was three sheets to the wind.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
Yeah, and you're thinking like one hundred and twenty five
bucks hundred bucks? Right? No, no, no, Morgan, how many
chips do you have?

Speaker 9 (39:08):
Three hundred and forty five dollars?

Speaker 6 (39:10):
WHOA, Okay, I've paid Reagan chips before, so maybe she
can Ray will take them.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
I'll buy him for a hundred he cruises, But I
don't know, you have to go back on it that
the same boat, Like, we're doing the cruise again next year.
And you guys, if you want to come on the
cruise Topshelf Country Cruise dot Com. If for somehow it's
already sold out, I mean, I don't know. There's a
lot of people that have been signing up because we
did a week's worth of the content just talking about it.

(39:38):
But if you want to go, Riley Green is the
first performer that we signed to play on it. But
Topshelf Country Cruise dot Com. Ohough, we have more people
to Laurena Elena who was just on the show, Randy Hawser,
Chris Young Moore to be announced, but go. I'm assuming
you can cast your chips in then, or you could
sell them to Lunchbox for one hundred dollars. I don't know,
that's a terrible deal. If it's all profit, I feel like.

Speaker 13 (39:59):
I should take the risk and potentially catch them in
next year.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
I'm gonna try.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
I mean, let me tell you. We were on a
bus to the airport and we're driving away and Morgan
is just standing outside the bus like a sad puppy
dog and we're all just like, all right.

Speaker 5 (40:12):
Morgan, for which reason? Camera computer camera, camera, computer it
And can't you forgot like a baby or anything on there?
I good know about this more honestly, are you still exhausted?

Speaker 3 (40:23):
Oh yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Slept all weekend and I still feel like I got
hit by a bus man.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
Question.

Speaker 5 (40:28):
Do you guys think that that's everybody coming off the
cruise because they had a vacation or because you guys
said it host so many things?

Speaker 4 (40:34):
I think, man, I think it's because we had to
host so many things.

Speaker 5 (40:38):
Like if you go on a vacation, you're probably relaxed, right,
there's no stress, like, there's no like time, there's no clocks.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
You just had to be wherever you can sleep whenever
you want. That wasn't the case for us. And then
I had an appearance on Saturday night. I got back
and I had to work on Saturday.

Speaker 7 (40:51):
I mean, I'm just so dad worker over here.

Speaker 4 (40:54):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
Maybe he went to see and came back a different person.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
Any chance, I'm a change man.

Speaker 5 (40:58):
Give me number to RAYMONDO.

Speaker 18 (41:01):
Hey, I was just commenting about Lunchbox having a red card.
I worked in customer service and in hospitality at resorts.
Typically that means that you have refused to put a
credit card on file for charges, and so you get
the red card or whatever your hospitality service gives you.

(41:22):
But typically that is the reason.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Love you guys, bye, That's not.

Speaker 4 (41:26):
The reason on this cruise ship. The cruise ship had
red and blue because when they have performances, they can't
fit everybody in the performances. So you have a red
or a blue, or if your talent, you have a
black so you can go into either show.

Speaker 5 (41:40):
So like Eddie and I did two performances, so we
had a red show and then a blue show, right.

Speaker 4 (41:44):
And the red show was the first show. Is I
tried to go to the second show and I had
to sneak past the people.

Speaker 5 (41:49):
Is that even something we should do though, sneak sneak
past things.

Speaker 4 (41:52):
I had to go out onto the deck walk, find
the last door, sneak in there and go into the audience.

Speaker 9 (41:59):
Is awesome.

Speaker 6 (42:00):
I mean, I don't think anybody else is trying to sneak.
If they want to come, they go to the appropriate time.
He was just trying to sneak because I think he
wanted condent.

Speaker 10 (42:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
Yeah, he's trying to get video in second Instagram. They
didn't just want to see the from the top corner.
He kept like, I like you almost to have gotten
court martial or whatever they do to you on a boat.

Speaker 4 (42:15):
Well, I couldn't get down to the bottom. Yeah, I
didn't ever blue card.

Speaker 5 (42:19):
All right, one more.

Speaker 18 (42:20):
The cruise has been the best thing for my life
right now.

Speaker 14 (42:24):
It's great.

Speaker 16 (42:25):
Lunchbox is pure entertainment.

Speaker 18 (42:28):
And he needs to say, all seven days and I
have to go next year? Are killing it? It's great.
I love it.

Speaker 5 (42:35):
Have it today by so many people reached out and
said the red card drama was the funniest thing they
had heard in months. No, it wasn't a bit. I
swear to everybody listening. I had nothing to do with it.
I promise you. I did not say let's give a
lunchbox a lesser card. If anything, I would have made
sure that he got a black card. I didn't know
anything about it. Scuba didn't either. We don't know how
that happened. Do you do you believe me? I believe

(42:55):
you do you like Scuba? I believe Scuba. But also
people like that's like people online. I saw people saying
they don't have blue and red cards on a cruise.
That's that's just made up.

Speaker 8 (43:05):
That was real.

Speaker 4 (43:05):
No, that's legit real, Like.

Speaker 5 (43:08):
Because there are so many people and that theater was
like a thousand people and two thousand people on the boat.
I don't know what the number is. Everybody can't get in.
So I did two shows. D We had two shows.
Scotty Murcury at two shows.

Speaker 4 (43:18):
And that's what they did with dinners too, is like
the like if you had a red card, you went
to dinner second, so you went to the shows first
and then you went to dinner where the blue card
was at dinner while the red card was at the show.

Speaker 6 (43:29):
But also that aside, like can you picture sitting around
being like, oh, what, what crazy story should we come
up with?

Speaker 10 (43:35):
Let's invent red cards and blue cards.

Speaker 6 (43:38):
It'll be so dramatic, Like I don't want is that
what some people think we do?

Speaker 5 (43:43):
I think it was so good and maybe this is
a testament to us not being that good. They were like,
that's so good. You had to have made that up. No, No,
Lunchbox had a lesser card than everybody, and we had
nothing to do with it.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
And I think the icing on top was on. I
could only get tap water.

Speaker 5 (43:56):
I think that was really not even bottlewater.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
Like I couldn't even get bottled water on the ship
for the first three days.

Speaker 10 (44:02):
I don't even know that next year I'm going to
have anything to drink.

Speaker 5 (44:05):
Okay, I cannot think about it.

Speaker 6 (44:09):
Also, I opened up my email and I got some
email from a husband and wife.

Speaker 5 (44:14):
On the phone reminding you of the fun you had.

Speaker 6 (44:22):
Dear say, even though we had no idea who you
were at first, you ended.

Speaker 10 (44:30):
Up enhancing our vacation.

Speaker 6 (44:33):
Huh, it says loved hearing some quote fun facts about you.

Speaker 10 (44:38):
I'll leave it at that.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
As I leave it at that, what in the world.

Speaker 5 (44:44):
We need to get checked?

Speaker 10 (44:48):
As I presume someone screens your messages.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
For you in the world, I'm like, what did I say?

Speaker 5 (44:55):
Now? What did you do?

Speaker 10 (44:56):
I'm not worried I did anything. I think I met
them on the dance floor.

Speaker 8 (45:02):
Oh that's how it starts.

Speaker 5 (45:06):
Call us if you want our phone numbers eight seven,
seven seventy seven Bobby again, not ads, because if you
want to come and be on the cruise next year,
it's up now. Top shelf Country cruise. This is not
an ad for that. I guess it kind is, but
we're not getting paid to say it. We're just saying
we're doing it again. Yeah, we would love for you
guys to come.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Number two, it was so fun to have Jody Messina
in the studio. She's putting out new music for the
first time in around ten years, and she talks about
I mean TikTok famous, plus the thing that happened that
didn't get her signed to a label and that story
is just crazy. So here she is, Jody Messina in
the Bobby Bone Show Studio.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
Number one on The Bobby Bone Show.

Speaker 5 (45:53):
Now, Joey Messina, Yeah, did you say that? I thought
you said.

Speaker 4 (46:01):
No, I didn't.

Speaker 10 (46:02):
It did sound like an echo something.

Speaker 5 (46:04):
I'm so happy you're here.

Speaker 9 (46:05):
I'm happy to be here.

Speaker 5 (46:06):
We have a lot of stuff to talk about. I
would first, have you seen the video that I made
you never mind never Mind? No, no, no, no, no no.
If you haven't seen it yet, then maybe you're not
supposed to know about it.

Speaker 9 (46:16):
Oh I'm not supposed to know about it.

Speaker 5 (46:19):
No, it's not the anniversary of your record never Mind
I'm not saying I'm not going to say anything about it.
I just shouldn't have said anything. I was just gonna
make a point about something. How you doing, Jody.

Speaker 14 (46:34):
A minute?

Speaker 9 (46:34):
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (46:35):
You're about to have a big anniversary for your first album? Yes,
how many years?

Speaker 9 (46:42):
Thirty?

Speaker 5 (46:43):
Yeah, which is pretty great. And so if you haven't
seen it yet, I will tell you. I did a
whole video talking about it and what it meant to
me and all of that. But if you haven't seen
it yet, one day you'll see it.

Speaker 11 (46:52):
I haven't seen it, then.

Speaker 5 (46:53):
I'll just leave it there. It was only me, Okay, okay,
I have a lot of questions for you.

Speaker 9 (47:01):
Oh go go, I'm ready.

Speaker 5 (47:02):

Thank you? Can I do?

Speaker 11 (47:18):
I just said you're just such a jewel.

Speaker 5 (47:20):
Well, thank you. This is not about me. I want
to make it about you.

Speaker 11 (47:23):
Oh, let's make it about you.

Speaker 5 (47:24):
What is it? Is it cool to be like TikTok
famous because you are you are. Your stuff goes viral
all the time. People love you on TikTok. It's like
a whole new age of people that get to like
experience what we got to.

Speaker 9 (47:37):
Experience, the crazy dances, just all of it.

Speaker 11 (47:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (47:41):
Well, we have a fun thing we and we haven't
put it up yet. But last weekend we played in
California and the guy that choreographed all the snow back
when I always like had dancers and everything lived out
there and he choreographed a new dance to one of
the hits, and so we recorded that while we were
out doing a festival this weekend.

Speaker 5 (48:00):
Your stuff pops thanks, Yeah, like you do you do?
You keep track of what your videos do, like like
seventy sometimes.

Speaker 9 (48:06):
But it's we're moving so fast and now everything's getting
really busy.

Speaker 5 (48:10):
So and this is the first record like new new music, right.

Speaker 9 (48:14):
Yes, in a long time, over over ten years now.
I released something I think in twenty.

Speaker 5 (48:20):
Fourteen, not a full record though, like just.

Speaker 9 (48:23):
Like a go fundme or whatever. It was a kickstarter.

Speaker 11 (48:26):
I don't even know what they're.

Speaker 9 (48:27):
Doing business, I don't know, so something like that, but.

Speaker 11 (48:30):
A major release label thing.

Speaker 9 (48:33):
The last thing that came out I think was my
give it I'm bus said, was it two thousand and seven? Yeah,
it's a long time.

Speaker 5 (48:40):
What does it feel like to put out a new
project because it's been again we have done a full project.
Is there are their nerves? Is it excitement?

Speaker 8 (48:47):
Is it both?

Speaker 9 (48:48):
Both?

Speaker 5 (48:49):
Are there expectations from other people?

Speaker 11 (48:52):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (48:53):
What do you mean? What do you mean?

Speaker 11 (48:55):
You know, just other people or.

Speaker 9 (48:57):
Have expectations for it, and so you don't want to
let people down, especially those that are working really hard
on it, you know, and with the marketing and the
promotion and that kind of stuff.

Speaker 11 (49:06):
So I'm just.

Speaker 9 (49:06):
Happy to be here, Bobby, you know that Earth or
in the studio just.

Speaker 11 (49:12):
The studio of course and Earth No.

Speaker 9 (49:15):
Literally every morning, I mean I'm like, this morning I
sat outside and I was like, God, thank you for today.
I get today.

Speaker 5 (49:20):
Well, today's big da because the singles out. Yes, the
new album will be out the summer, but the new
song is out, and so we're going to play some bridges.
So this feels like it feels like it will. Yes,
it feels like a wisdom song.

Speaker 9 (49:33):
It is.

Speaker 5 (49:34):
Tell me about it.

Speaker 9 (49:35):
Well, you know, we grew up as you're growing up,
or always told you know, don't be burning bridges. Don't
burn the bridges. You know, oh I know they you know,
Like with my kids, I'm like, don't don't be rude
to those hockey players in rec hockey because you don't
want to burn those bridges because they'll probably be on
your team next year. Or you know, be respectful to
the coach. Don't be burning bridges because you know you

(49:56):
might run into them. Whatever, and we're told, don't burn
bridges you because you're not going to find you back.
And or if you take chances, which is so funny
because I'm looking at your book and fail until you
don't if you don't take chance. If you take chances,
oh you're gonna you know, you might end up off track.
You know, you might make a mistake, you might fail.
And it's like you sometimes you have to fail, you know,

(50:19):
sometimes you and sometimes you have to burn bridges if
they lead you back to a place that is harmful
to you or where you lose yourself, it's not it's
not worthy.

Speaker 5 (50:29):
Did you feel like this was the single when you
wrote it or did you get all the songs together
and then go this is.

Speaker 9 (50:33):
The one, Bobby, did we send you a link for
the album?

Speaker 5 (50:37):
Why do you say that it's loaded?

Speaker 9 (50:40):
So I let someone else pick it because I was like,
oh I love this one.

Speaker 11 (50:43):
Oh I love this one.

Speaker 9 (50:43):
Oh I love this So I was, yeah, They're like, boom,
let's come out with this one. But so I wasn't.

Speaker 5 (50:50):
Yeah, okay, So I have other things to talk about.
I want to go to Amy first. What song comes
to mind? If I just say, Jody Messina, what's what
song first comes to mind? Of all of them?

Speaker 10 (51:01):
I mean it's got to be Heads Carolina.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
Would you think that's common? Is it? Most? Is it
is that with most people? Because I think bye Bye
to Me is the one that comes to my first.

Speaker 10 (51:13):
Good one.

Speaker 6 (51:13):
I was trying to see if another would come to me,
but then that wouldn't be fair because then that the
first one was Heads Carolina.

Speaker 5 (51:18):
What do you think the first one is the people?

Speaker 9 (51:21):
Probably right now Heads Carolina because of its resurgence, Yeah,
because of its resurgence and all with cold.

Speaker 5 (51:27):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 9 (51:29):
But but if you look at you know, what people
are playing from my catalog, I think bye Bye was first.

Speaker 11 (51:34):
Then I'm all right, then Heads Carolina is.

Speaker 9 (51:37):
Yeah, there's a lot of them. Then lesson leaving and
stamp beside me on the rain.

Speaker 10 (51:42):
Then.

Speaker 5 (51:44):
Sings all your songs back Amy and here Amy, go ahead, O.

Speaker 6 (51:50):
Somebody's gonna give you a lesson and leave, and somebody
he's gonna give you back and hold.

Speaker 9 (51:56):
Then I'm around to watch you knock it down.

Speaker 5 (52:00):
That's it.

Speaker 9 (52:00):
Yeah, I threw you off.

Speaker 5 (52:02):
Sorry, No, it's no trust me. You didn't throw trust me.
That's not it at all. Are you still living away
from here?

Speaker 9 (52:11):
I live here? No, Now I went. I didn't. I
don't talk about this a lot.

Speaker 5 (52:15):
But don't you it's you? No, no, no, okay.

Speaker 9 (52:18):
I love to Georgia. For a few years. I went
down there. Originally, Cancer Treatment Centers of America was down there.
They had one in Atlanta and one in Minneapolis. They
don't exist anymore, but anyways, that's why I went there,
and I was there for a few years, and now
I'm back.

Speaker 5 (52:30):
How's how's your health?

Speaker 9 (52:31):
It's good right now? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (52:33):
Monitoring always once a year.

Speaker 9 (52:35):
No, No, I'm to the point where it's once a year.
I go on and get checked the blood work and
scans if needed or whatever.

Speaker 5 (52:41):
How do you feel physically?

Speaker 9 (52:44):
Pretty?

Speaker 5 (52:44):
Good Yeah, good days. Not good days.

day after leg day.

Speaker 11 (52:50):
I train every day for I train every day for what?

Speaker 5 (52:54):
No?

Speaker 11 (52:54):
Wait, train like list?

Speaker 8 (52:55):

Speaker 5 (52:55):
I know because I say that and I tell them
my train, They're like, why are you train? And I'm like,
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (53:00):
Apocalypse No, Bobby, he but you act like you're training
to be a pro athlete, like we're it's like we're
training for life, like osteoporosis.

Speaker 9 (53:11):
Well, actually I'm going for a look, but you're taking longer.
It's taking a lot longer.

Speaker 5 (53:16):
And I wanted maybe it was projecting right there.

Speaker 6 (53:18):
Yeah, well lifting is very important for our bone house.

Speaker 9 (53:22):
It's women, it's and just yeah. I have kids, and
you'll find this out. It's a lot of energy to
came up with them. So yeah, and I'm going to
start running with my fourteen year old. I used to
be a big time runner. I ran Boston Marathon, Chicago.
I didn't qualify, Bobby, you just got on ran.

Speaker 11 (53:41):
I was invited to.

Speaker 9 (53:42):
Run because I'm from Boston, so I would never have qualified.
I'm way too slow.

Speaker 10 (53:46):
What was your time?

Speaker 9 (53:47):
I was? If you go look at that year, I
am the second to last, only before my brother, who
let me cross the line first. Because they cut it
off at six hours. I think we're five hours and
fifty nine minutes. I pulled my it band at mile six,
so I'd have to stop every like mile or so
and let my leg loosen up, let that muscle loosen up,

(54:07):
and then start again. But I did finish it.

Speaker 5 (54:10):
Did you see them shutting down and you're just trying
to beat them shutting down, taking all the all the
stuff off. I think they were waiting, but.

Speaker 9 (54:18):
They're like, keep going, keep going, because there was like
news cruise when I crossed the finish line, and that
was the last thing you want to do is talk
to somebody when you've been running for six hours.

Speaker 5 (54:26):
You were a marathon runner.

Speaker 9 (54:28):
Uh yeah, I mean I was never fast. It's kind
of the story of my life. You just keep going,
You just keep going, You just keep going, keep going again.
I'm going to reference your book.

Speaker 11 (54:39):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (54:40):
Thank you bite on Amazon. Everybody I know, well until
you don't. So how many did you do? You did Boston, Chicago, Chicago?

Speaker 9 (54:47):
I did the whole Chicago, I did the half of
San Antonio, cross the finish line, walked on stage and
played the show. It was a rock and roll marathon,
so they have a concert at the end. I was it.
So I had to finish my half marathon before this
that started.

Speaker 5 (55:01):
So that was a little but you knew that was
like you knew.

Speaker 11 (55:04):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, they hired me to go down there.

Speaker 5 (55:06):
But you knew you were gonna run it and then play. Yes,
how was that was that hard to do?

Speaker 9 (55:10):
It was okay, It was okay. You know, my legs
started to feel a little jellowy towards the middle of
the show.

Speaker 5 (55:16):
And then that's crazy that you do that. You're doing
a lot of shows. I was looking at your tour schedule.
It's part of I would imagine being in shape helps
you do like a more active show.

Speaker 9 (55:26):
Right, Yes, my show is very active.

Speaker 5 (55:29):
What do you mean by that?

Speaker 11 (55:30):
I don't stand still.

Speaker 9 (55:31):
I'm like, there's two songs where I play a guitar
on and that's about the stillest I get.

Speaker 11 (55:35):
And then other than that, I'm running around.

Speaker 9 (55:37):
I'm headbanging is you'll see a lot of pictures my
hair flying.

Speaker 11 (55:42):
What do you do as your not a beauty show
by any means.

Speaker 5 (55:45):
I want to spoil it, but what do you do.
You have so many big songs. What's the what do
you do as your final song?

Speaker 11 (55:52):
Final song of the night?

Speaker 6 (55:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (55:54):
Is this a spoiler?

Speaker 11 (55:55):
No, it's not my song.

Speaker 9 (55:57):
Okay, I give a little pep talk to the audience.
I'm like, if you have dreams and the things that
you want to do, surround yourself with positive people.

Speaker 5 (56:05):
Can I guess then yeah, give me the pep talk.

Speaker 9 (56:07):
I okay, Oh well it ends with okay. So I
mentioned you know, if you have something that you want
to do, don't surround yourself with naysayers, because there's plenty
of people that will say, well, that won't work. Because
and I always tell my team, I'm like, please don't
tell me, Why not tell me how you want people?
And I'm like, look, God's word tells us that the
tongue has the power of life and death.

Speaker 11 (56:28):
You either have people around you.

Speaker 9 (56:30):
That are like, oh, yeah, well not sure that's going
to work out, or that's dumb, nobody's doing that, or
you have people that are like, you can do it,
You've got this. No, And I do say to the audience,
I'm like, I'm not saying you're the greatest in the world.
I was never said My sister was my greatest support.
She's like fifteen years older than me, and she never
was like, oh, you're such a great singer. She's just like,

(56:51):
you just got to keep going. And I remember I
got turned down by a record label in Nashville. They
said it was too fat, and I.

Speaker 5 (56:57):
Was like, actually said that.

Speaker 9 (56:58):
They told my pretty said that, oh if she was
ten pounds to the lighter, my designer is what they said.

Speaker 11 (57:04):
So and I was devastated.

Speaker 9 (57:06):
And she's like, I said that I did this showcase
and I didn't get the record daily passed and she's
like yes.

Speaker 11 (57:13):
I was like, what do you mean yes, She's like.

Speaker 9 (57:15):
Oh, they say you have to get passed on a
thousand times before you get a deal. She's like, now
you only have nine hundred and ninety nine leves. Just
keep going, Just keep going. And I was like, and
whatever you do, don't stop believing.

Speaker 5 (57:25):
Oh, well, now we know the song, don't stop believing
that's the end. Well yeah, but you could you could
have not said that part.

Speaker 4 (57:31):
I would.

Speaker 9 (57:31):
I don't say the name was in it.

Speaker 5 (57:33):
You know what. I was going to guess though the
climb Miley Cyrus, that was gonna be my guest at.

Speaker 9 (57:37):
You's gonna be up and bad, always going on. Make
you move. Hey, the hand of Montana thing is coming back.
We gotta do the dance.

Speaker 11 (57:47):
Did you see that on TikTok?

Speaker 9 (57:49):
That only took us four hours till burn it.

Speaker 5 (57:51):
So you'll practice, you'll practice a long time for your tiktoks.

Speaker 9 (57:54):
Well, that one was long. I never I didn't know
it at all, and then we learned it. We're on
the road, boy, my.

Speaker 10 (58:01):
Legs are so the next day the hand them Montana dance.

Speaker 5 (58:04):
Who says to you, this should be the next TikTok
that we do.

Speaker 9 (58:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (58:09):
I don't know if we do.

Speaker 5 (58:11):
You doom scroll on TikTok?

Speaker 11 (58:13):
I don't. I don't have time to scroll.

Speaker 9 (58:16):
But uh, the one that dances with me sometimes we'll
have suggestions.

Speaker 11 (58:21):
Yeah, probably he would be the most.

Speaker 5 (58:23):
When you moved to town, how long until you had
any sort of traction at all?

Speaker 9 (58:32):
Four years?

Speaker 5 (58:33):
Did that four years feel like forty years?

Speaker 3 (58:35):
It did?

Speaker 9 (58:36):
I remember? My first year was all about trying to survive,
finding a place to live, pay in the bills, like,
I didn't sing, and there weren't as many places. We
didn't have Broadway Broadway was Tutsi's.

Speaker 11 (58:48):
I think that was it.

Speaker 9 (58:49):
And then Ernest Tabs Record Shop or whatever. It wasn't
like fifty thousand bars with you know, open twenty four
hours and different shifts or whatever, so there wasn't a
lot of places to sing back.

Speaker 5 (58:58):
Then once he got here, where did you sing?

Speaker 9 (59:00):
Then talent nights I'd perform. I needed money for rent,
so I would do the talent contests.

Speaker 5 (59:08):
Oh, you would try to win? Did you win?

Speaker 9 (59:10):
Yes? Yes I did, And that's how I got my start.
I want a chance to perform on a radio show
as well. And then the radio show had me back
every Saturday night. It was called Live Libby's from Daysville, Kentucky.
It's gone, but that's where my producer, Barron Gallimore heard me,
who was producing Tim McGrath at the time, and then
I took a meeting with him and then he's like, hey,

(59:31):
let's work on a demo.

Speaker 5 (59:33):
So what would you sing to win these competitions? Because
I like, what was your go to? Oh my gosh,
rumor has it not all?

Speaker 9 (59:44):
Rumor? Has it you?

Speaker 5 (59:48):
And would you know they would that you'd melt them
with that?

Speaker 9 (59:52):
No? I was always terrified. Yeah, I was always did
you lose?

Speaker 5 (59:56):
Yeah, did you lose? Did you ever lose? Anybody else
to ended up making in it?

Speaker 4 (01:00:01):
No.

Speaker 9 (01:00:02):
There was one girl that I had done something with
a long time. We were on a competition and she
is nasty.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
She is mean.

Speaker 9 (01:00:11):
And then later after I had so Carolina came out.
She got a record deal, but it didn't work out
so good. I didn't say.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
That I did good good, but she's so mean good.

Speaker 11 (01:00:22):
She had money I didn't.

Speaker 9 (01:00:24):
So she had like the fancy guitar on the fancy
clothes and was like, yeah, you're like ugh, And so
she's just not nice.

Speaker 5 (01:00:31):
How does somebody from Massachusetts, That's exactly what I was
going to ask you, how did they get into country music?

Speaker 6 (01:00:39):
Well?

Speaker 9 (01:00:39):
I had gone to a boarding school and there were
kids from all over the country there, and one of
them was from like the South and would listen to
country music. And I just loved it because I was like, Oh,
they're singing about me there, singing about my life, and
so I would gravitate towards that.

Speaker 5 (01:00:53):
Even though you lived in Massachusetts, like your rural Massachusetts.

Speaker 9 (01:00:57):
About thirty thirty miles outside of Boston.

Speaker 5 (01:00:59):
Then how was it your life? What would you hear that?
Would would I.

Speaker 9 (01:01:03):
Hear baby alone?

Speaker 4 (01:01:06):
When I told you I could walk away?

Speaker 9 (01:01:09):
Remember that one? No, No, it's a song.

Speaker 5 (01:01:12):
I know a song.

Speaker 9 (01:01:13):
Break it to me gently, remember that.

Speaker 5 (01:01:17):
No one, No, I think Amy's hybriding.

Speaker 10 (01:01:23):
Now No, I feel like I recommend.

Speaker 9 (01:01:26):
And then I remember Alabama came out with Rule and
I was like, oh, this is so cool.

Speaker 11 (01:01:31):
And the judge that Judgs came out too.

Speaker 5 (01:01:33):
Love that wear a lot of Judge in my house,
my mom and my grandma. It was all Judgs all
the time.

Speaker 9 (01:01:40):
Yeah. Then that I loved it, and so I gravitated towards.

Speaker 5 (01:01:43):
Were you singing in high school? Like in school I was.

Speaker 9 (01:01:46):
I started performing out in clubs when I was thirteen
or fourteen.

Speaker 11 (01:01:50):
My mother would drive me. I'd sleep through class.

Speaker 9 (01:01:56):
It is not advice for those listening, but anyways, my
mom would drive me out to open mic nights and
I'd sit in with bands, and then my brother and
my sister and myself put a band together, and then
I'd ride with my older siblings.

Speaker 5 (01:02:08):
You had a family band kind of Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:02:10):
We hired a guitar player, but my sister played the bass,
my brother played the drums.

Speaker 5 (01:02:14):
Did they not want to pursue it further because they
didn't move down for music, did they.

Speaker 9 (01:02:19):
They did not. They live here or now, but they
did not. I think, you know, it was just a
time where you just got to get a real job.

Speaker 8 (01:02:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:02:25):
And so my brothers had the same job since he
was eighteen when he's a little older now, and like
he was programming computers for the government or something, you
know what I mean. He was a computer programmer and
does that still to this day, same job, same never
left that job.

Speaker 5 (01:02:41):
I My theory is there has to be a screw
loose to even pursue what this is, right, it's got
to be the right screw. But to pursue any sort
of art, there's got to be a screw loose, yeah,
because you have to have like this wild belief in
yourself that even other people may not have. Like you
have to believe in yourself so much.

Speaker 11 (01:03:00):
Do you just in yourself or do you just have
to want the dream?

Speaker 5 (01:03:03):
It can be? But I don't think you can even
understand the want of it if you don't believe in yourself.

Speaker 9 (01:03:08):
Really, because I'm really insecure.

Speaker 5 (01:03:10):
Even today, but I'm really insecure too. I think insecurity
fuels me, I'm embarrassed by everything that I do. It's
a weird juxposition of I believe in myself more than
anybody ever, but also hate everything about.

Speaker 9 (01:03:20):
Me, right, I hear you. I didn't mean that, and
I didn't mean way. She like, I hate yet, No, no,
but I get it because you know, I'm looking at
myself in the whatever in the room. I got my
picture taken next to yours sign and I was like,
I look awful. You know what I mean. You're your
own worst critic, and so that that circle just keeps
going on and on in your head, even when you're

(01:03:42):
standing in front of tens of thousands of people. I
remember playing on Texas Stadium for the first time, and
I stood there at the edge of the stage and
people were like screaming and cheering. It was so loud
it like rumbled the stage, and I'm like, what am
I doing here? Like I don't belong here? Like did they?
And none of these people realize.

Speaker 5 (01:04:02):
That, and you can't let them out know that you're thinking.

Speaker 11 (01:04:06):
That, yeah, well I didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:04:08):
Now, Yeah, I think that. I think that happens with
a lot of artists though, that when you for me,
especially when I got to a point you start to go, man,
I don't like this is kind of crazy. I don't
know if I'm actually good enough, but I believe I
at least believed I was good enough at some point.

Speaker 9 (01:04:26):
I think there's a point of gratitude too, where the
gratitude kicks in. So if you go see my show now,
it isn't really hey, look at me, I'm up here.
It's like, oh my gosh, we're gonna have so much fun,
you know, and I do.

Speaker 11 (01:04:39):
We have a blast with the audience.

Speaker 5 (01:04:40):
But for you to move down here, uh huh and
want to be a singer and also have to have
a job to make money again, you didn't have the
benefit of having your bills paid for and still pursuing this,
like there's there's a there's a small screw loose. To
think you could do that, I think it was naive.
It was that's a superpower.

Speaker 6 (01:04:59):
Though.

Speaker 9 (01:05:00):
If I knew that everyone that I ran into in
town was in town for the same reason, I probably
my insecurity would have kicked in and I'd be like, no, no, no,
I can't compete with all those people, right, But I
didn't know, so I was like, oh, I have an
order to get a record deal, I gotta go to Nashville.
So okay, I'm going to Nashville, me and fifty thousand
other people.

Speaker 5 (01:05:19):
Did you get down and see other people and go,
oh wow, the competition is pretty tough.

Speaker 11 (01:05:25):
Yeah, they're talented. Oh yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:05:27):
I'd go to these talent contests and I'd be like, oh,
I'll just put my name on the list, something to do.

Speaker 5 (01:05:32):
Did you ever almost go home?

Speaker 9 (01:05:35):
No, because I loved to sing. I loved to perform.
So that's what would fuel me and keep me in
the room, was my chance to sing.

Speaker 6 (01:05:42):
That record label story is still thinking about them that
said you were ten.

Speaker 11 (01:05:46):
Pounds if I was ten or they would have signed
me like that.

Speaker 6 (01:05:49):
Like whenever you did get your first hit, did you
ever think, like, you know, having like a pretty woman
moment with them of like big mistake, huge, Like I
have to go make music now I cance on thinking
about how I mean? I know that's the reality for
a lot of women in the business pop country. We've
heard a lot of people, especially now that they're older,

(01:06:12):
they're like, oh yeah, when I was first starting out,
I heard this from my record label.

Speaker 10 (01:06:15):
This from my management team.

Speaker 11 (01:06:16):
I wasn't to wear my hair this way. I had
to wear these clothes.

Speaker 9 (01:06:19):
I had to.

Speaker 10 (01:06:19):
Yeah, So, I mean, I don't know, did you just
like let it go or.

Speaker 9 (01:06:25):
It's thirty years later I'm still talking about it.

Speaker 10 (01:06:29):
I didn't let it go, or like you run into
them like kind.

Speaker 5 (01:06:32):
Of just you actel like it's not happening now too.

Speaker 10 (01:06:34):
Oh yeah, no, I'm sure.

Speaker 6 (01:06:36):
I guess I just have a little bit of hope
that maybe we progressed a little bit. But you're right,
we probably as much as I would like to think
that still happen.

Speaker 9 (01:06:44):
Actually, on my record, there is I was talking to
an artist and she's.

Speaker 11 (01:06:48):
Like, man, I just you know, I can't do this.

Speaker 5 (01:06:51):
I can't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:06:52):
I just oh.

Speaker 9 (01:06:53):
She's like exhausted, and I said, whatever you do, don't
let them hide you're beautiful. And then we wrote a
song that's actually a song on the album.

Speaker 5 (01:07:00):
I believe it's track three.

Speaker 11 (01:07:01):
Oh yeah, there you go, you know everything.

Speaker 9 (01:07:05):
But yeah, that's where that song came from, with someone
being told by everyone else, no, this is what you
need to do, this is how you have to look,
this is what you should do, this is where you
should be, this is you know, and it's like none
of it's me? You know what are they selling? It's
not me?

Speaker 11 (01:07:18):
And I was like, well, don't let them hide you're beautiful.

Speaker 5 (01:07:22):
Was there a time when you got to town where
you had so much success that you started to feel
a bit bulletproof because you had you had a run
like a multi week that's like never been done before,
where it's like number one for multi week, number one
for multi week, number for multi week.

Speaker 9 (01:07:36):
Well, and that's the thing in when you're I remember
Byron Gallamar telling me my producers saying, I was like,
oh man, it would be so great to have a
number one record, and he goes, yeah, but then you
gotta have another one. And so you were so in
the chase for the next one for me, and then
again you're insecure, right so you're like, oh, gosh, I
gotta have another one or else I'm done or else.
What I remember, Downtime came out and it peaked at

(01:07:59):
number or eight. What I would do for a number
eight song right now? Not really, I mean, but it
would be such a thrill to have her number eight song,
right I'd be like, oh my gosh. But as soon
as that song maxed out at number eight, they're like, well,
she's done, she's done, she's over again. That was like
probably twenty years ago, but still at that point, you know,

(01:08:20):
everyone was so disappointed, and I felt like they were
disappointed in me. I was like, I am a failure.
I am you know. So I don't know that there
ever was a point where I felt bulletproof. Now.

Speaker 11 (01:08:32):
It was always about working harder.

Speaker 5 (01:08:34):
If you could do it again, or you could tell
you back then, like right when it was starting to hit,
like right before you get your first number one, you
have a deal, what advice would you give yourself? Then?

Speaker 9 (01:08:46):
I always say this, don't sell out who you are
just to be successful.

Speaker 5 (01:08:50):
Do you feel like you did that?

Speaker 9 (01:08:52):
I think there were moments, yes where I did that,
and then I would look at pictures and be like,
oh boy, I remember that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
You know.

Speaker 9 (01:08:59):
There there's a point where I was myself. Then we
went had some success, and then all of a sudden,
the people would flock and.

Speaker 11 (01:09:07):
Be like wear this, do that.

Speaker 9 (01:09:08):
We had a photo shoot and I remember looking at
these photos. My hair was bone straight long down to
hear all these like coutore clothes and I was like,
I don't know who that is, and they're like, oh,
but you look beautiful. I'm like, yeah, but I don't
know who she is, Like, I don't know who that is?
Who is that I can't I said, I don't go
to Kroger looking like this. You know, people they would

(01:09:29):
never see me look like that, you know, and I
can't sell them. Why would I represent something that I'm not? Ooh,
which that was a then then back then it was like, oh,
you're being difficult. Oh she's hard to work with, and
it was really just I can't pretend. I can't pretend
to be something that I'm not.

Speaker 5 (01:09:46):
Were there a group of women that kind of had
each other's back? Did you have it at all? Or
was it so competitive?

Speaker 11 (01:09:52):
No, it wasn't.

Speaker 9 (01:09:52):
I don't know that it was like backbiting competitive. And
I don't even know if it's that way now. I
think a lot of social media creates those scenarios where
it's like I see all these girls and just I
love them. Be course, I'm a little older, so I'm
gonna you know, they don't see me as like I
want to get out of my way. But I think
at that point, again, I was just running so hard

(01:10:14):
for the end zone that I didn't really I'm always
on the road. I was always, you know, touring always,
or in the studio or whatever. I didn't have time
to be like, hey, how's it going. And I was terrified,
you know what? Actually, okay, back to the insecurity. There
was one one award show I remember I shared a
dressing room with Trisha Yarwood, Martine McBride, faith Hill.

Speaker 11 (01:10:34):
You would talk about beautiful women.

Speaker 9 (01:10:36):
Colley stand next to faith Hill.

Speaker 11 (01:10:38):
I never will.

Speaker 9 (01:10:39):
She's still stunning. And I had a curtained off section
in the back corner and I didn't come out. I
was just I did not feel worthy enough to be
in the room with those girls. And so they but
they read it probably this is just that, Oh she
thinks she's all that, and I wasn't all that. I
was just like, oh my gosh, I'm hiding from these beautiful,

(01:11:01):
talented girls. So it wasn't it wasn't cutthroat or anything.
It was just keep your eye on your own on
your own game.

Speaker 5 (01:11:08):
At that point when you decide that you're going to
do a new album or was it an album, because
it could have just been a couple songs, and it
kept growing, like what was this?

Speaker 9 (01:11:17):
It turned out I started writing a lot with people
in town, and then someone's like, you should record this,
you should record this, this is a hit, you should
record this, And then it just started to roll into
a full project because I was like, well, I don't
you know, I'm just here to write. I just love
to write, you know, I'm still out touring, always been touring.

Speaker 11 (01:11:35):
And so then they.

Speaker 9 (01:11:35):
Were like, you should really put this together as a
as a record, and I was like, I don't know
if anyone who wants to hear a record for me,
and they're like, just do it, so we did.

Speaker 5 (01:11:43):
So have you put any expectations on yourself with this record?

Speaker 4 (01:11:46):
You?

Speaker 5 (01:11:46):
I'm asking you again, not anybody else like it? Or
has the expectation been met already by just creating it.

Speaker 11 (01:11:55):
I would love to hear how people like yourself.

Speaker 9 (01:11:58):
Like the record.

Speaker 11 (01:11:59):
You know, of course you're always so kind, so you
wouldn't be like.

Speaker 9 (01:12:02):
Well this sucks so not to my face, but I'd
love to hear that because I wrote everything on the record,
and it's never happened before. I've never written every and
never been able to like pour my entire guts into
an album. And that's the difference between now and then
or then and now or whatever. Is a lot of

(01:12:23):
stuff that I recorded was written by other people and
staff writers at certain places where that were the great songwriters. Nowadays,
the artists write most of their records, and I was like.

Speaker 5 (01:12:32):
Oh, can I do that?

Speaker 9 (01:12:33):
I can do that. This is great. So this is
the first time I've ever had a writ There's one
song I didn't write, but for the rest of the record,
I wrote everything on there.

Speaker 5 (01:12:41):
So this is way more vulnerable, I think than you've
ever been as far as a creator.

Speaker 11 (01:12:45):
Probably.

Speaker 9 (01:12:46):
Yeah, there's a song on there. Yeah, there's a song.
I share this in the live show. It's called If
He Knew Jesus. And it came out of a conversation
that I had with somebody and they're like, oh, you know,
would you ever consider you know?

Speaker 11 (01:13:00):
Oh it was so and so and this.

Speaker 9 (01:13:01):
I was like, oh no, no, no, no, they gotta love Jesus,
I said, because I've.

Speaker 11 (01:13:04):
Been down that road.

Speaker 9 (01:13:06):
And so I walked into the writing room and I said,
I have an idea. I said, what if we wrote
and I'm gonna start crying. I said, I have this
idea of a song and it and it just starts off, well,
if He Knew Jesus, there'd be no raisin.

Speaker 11 (01:13:21):
These babies alone.

Speaker 3 (01:13:23):
And so I start.

Speaker 9 (01:13:25):
Again started crying like I'm crying here, sorry, And the
guys looked at me and they're like, oh man, it's
gonna be a long day.

Speaker 5 (01:13:32):
But it wasn't. But they knew that was a song.
But that's what they meant though, right, like see me
a long day because they're gonna write that song with you.

Speaker 9 (01:13:37):
Well they're well, just because they're like, oh man, we
gotta deal with her emotion.

Speaker 11 (01:13:40):
But we made it through. We made it through.

Speaker 9 (01:13:44):
And then there's a there's a verse in the I'm
sorry the bridge that's like Willie might go to church
know the words in the Bible, but only if he
knew the man or whatever. And then one of the
guys was like, Okay, this is making me second guess
myself here.

Speaker 5 (01:14:01):
So it was just the found salvation in your writing.

Speaker 9 (01:14:04):
Oh that's my that is my hope. What is your
big What is my biggest hope for this project? And
I'll be really really honest is and it might be
too honest and you can edit it out if you want.

Speaker 11 (01:14:14):
Is to be.

Speaker 9 (01:14:15):
Relevant enough to share the gospel with people behind the scenes,
you know my heart on that.

Speaker 5 (01:14:21):
What do you mean behind the scenes, Well.

Speaker 11 (01:14:23):
You know, I think because.

Speaker 9 (01:14:27):
Like a lot of the new artists, I want to
be a safe place for them to go when they're like,
oh my gosh, how do I handle all this? Because
they're inundated with requests and demands and requirements and all
this other stuff, and it's like an opportunity to say,
hold on a second, you're okay, You're okay. I just

(01:14:49):
did a show with Carter Faith and I was like,
here's my number. Things are about to get crazy for you,
and if you need a safe space, please call me.

Speaker 11 (01:15:00):
And that's what I want.

Speaker 9 (01:15:01):
That's my heart's desire is to be a safe place
for people who are spinning around so fast within the
industry that they need to step away for a second,
you know, just realize who they who they really are
in the midst of it.

Speaker 5 (01:15:15):
Why would we edit that out?

Speaker 11 (01:15:17):
Oh I don't know.

Speaker 9 (01:15:18):
I don't like to talk about. But that's that's my
heart because that's what happened with me. I know the
road that they're walking. I know that the demands that
are that are on them and the expectation on an
everyday basis. I know what it's like to have things
said that aren't necessarily accurate, and it's hurts. It hurts,

(01:15:39):
and so you start to get a hard heart, and
then you start to get you know, a little bit
feistier and a little bit and then before you know it,
you're you don't even know who you are anymore. And
so just someone that understands what they're walking through and
can give them a safe place to just decompress and
be themselves, that's awesome.

Speaker 11 (01:15:57):
That's my heart.

Speaker 5 (01:15:58):
Yeah. Did CMT make being famous easier and harder? In
what way people knew who you were because of videos?

Speaker 9 (01:16:08):
Videos?

Speaker 10 (01:16:12):
No?

Speaker 9 (01:16:13):
I don't know the easier or harder or both.

Speaker 5 (01:16:16):
But easier because they now knew who you were as a face.
For harder because now you had to deal with the fame.
Because there weren't really a lot of until CMT or MTV.
Sometimes you wouldn't know what an RS look like.

Speaker 9 (01:16:26):
Right. Hence the Christopher Cross, you know, syndrome that happened.
There was a big singer in a named Christopher Cross.
And then someone said as soon as the video aspect
came out, you know, that's when he lost some traction.
And I was like, well that doesn't seem fair, but
it did put a lot of expectation on the way
you carry yourself and the way you know you have
to look and et cetera. It did put all that

(01:16:47):
added pressure on you, but also it was good for
you know, people recognizing you and familiarity in the sense
of getting his shows and getting work.

Speaker 5 (01:16:57):
Did you ever have like valets handing you music and
stuff all the time?

Speaker 11 (01:17:00):
Still I dropped stuff in my mail in.

Speaker 5 (01:17:03):
Your mailbox, I got your home. Yes, Oh no, I
don't like it.

Speaker 9 (01:17:08):
I like. The latest was the insect guy that came
over and he's like, hey, yeah, so here will you
go check out myself on this website pest control like
pest control, Yes, the insect guy he is a.

Speaker 6 (01:17:19):
Singer too, sounds like right, But was he pest controlling
my house?

Speaker 5 (01:17:23):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (01:17:23):
And then he spread the house Okay, he was like,
and don't forget listen to myself.

Speaker 10 (01:17:29):
I mean, I guess.

Speaker 9 (01:17:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:17:30):
They show up and then they realized like, okay, whoa,
this is Jody Messina's house.

Speaker 10 (01:17:34):
Like maybe I should choot my shot, but.

Speaker 9 (01:17:36):
What can I do? I'm like, I can't do anything
for myself.

Speaker 15 (01:17:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:17:43):
That's not true. That's funny, but that's not true.

Speaker 9 (01:17:45):
It's kind of true, right.

Speaker 5 (01:17:48):
I don't think so, because you play these shows where
tons of people come you're you're again. I made the
comment earlier, You're now TikTok relevant, which is hard, the
hardest thing to be, Like, you just have all these
different different avenues because fame is so fractured now. It
is more fractured than I've ever seen it. Somebody could
be famous to somebody and then the person next to
them has no idea who they are. Yet this person

(01:18:09):
is freaking out because this person that they follow, And
so I think you're You're now so tucked strongly into
these areas of like new versions of fame. Like I
see people freaking out about you on TikTok and I'm like, oh, dang,
this is like a whole different world of fame versus
what the fame that you have had for the past
twenty twenty five thirty years or so.

Speaker 9 (01:18:29):
You're right. I love that that it's fractured because it
used to be you know, so many TV shows and
everyone would watch them and everyone either had new them
or didn't you know what I mean. It was like,
it's not like you know you now have you find
your celebrity here, or you find your music there, or
you find you know.

Speaker 11 (01:18:47):
So that's a great way of describing that. It's so great.

Speaker 9 (01:18:51):
But I love it in the sense of people are like, well,
we think your demographic is da da da da, and
then you come to and a lot of these people
don't come to the show. So my old thing is
look at the first fifty rows. Yeah, I'm like, we
got six year olds with their moms and their grandmother's
so we're coming. So I think with all those different

(01:19:12):
social media platforms, we're able to hit different demographics. And
you know what, these kids still love Bye Bye, and
they still love I'm all Right, and they are singing
it so light. It's crazy the way they find music now.
They're singing like deep cuts all the words. I'm like,
I don't even know the words.

Speaker 5 (01:19:28):
So that's why I you were being too harsh on
yourself when you said you can't even do things for you.
You're doing massive, great, wonderful things right now.

Speaker 9 (01:19:37):
I think I live in a bubble, so like I
just post my little through my little dance, you know,
and I then I go bring my kids to school
and that's true. You know, I'm at the rink. I'm
at the hockey rink or whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:19:50):
Kids play hockey.

Speaker 9 (01:19:51):
Yes, so I see Dirk's Bentley quite a bit.

Speaker 5 (01:19:55):
Do you play against Dirk's kids or the same team?

Speaker 9 (01:19:57):
Well, his kids are younger, it's sunning younger. So but there,
you know, it's so funny. One time I was like,
are you at the rink?

Speaker 11 (01:20:05):
At textative?

Speaker 9 (01:20:05):
And he texted me back He's like, I'm always at
the rink.

Speaker 5 (01:20:08):
I'm like, I get you. So do your kids play
hockey because they have fallen in love with it because
of Nashville or because you come from a hockey place
and you pass it down the road.

Speaker 9 (01:20:16):
They discovered it on the run. They discovered it when
we lived in Georgia. They started with inline hockey, which.

Speaker 5 (01:20:22):
I don't know what that is, like a roller blade.

Speaker 9 (01:20:25):
Got it and then they wanted to play ice. So
when we moved back here, they play ice hockey.

Speaker 5 (01:20:31):
Disc too cold for me? You think if I got
to wear a coat to go watch a game, ain't
for me?

Speaker 9 (01:20:36):
Well, sometimes you don't have to wear a coat, but sometimes,
you know, sometimes they keep those rinks.

Speaker 5 (01:20:40):
Do you travel or you travel parent?

Speaker 9 (01:20:42):
No? Because I travel for work, so my kids were
not able to try out for the travel teams.

Speaker 5 (01:20:47):
That's probably better.

Speaker 9 (01:20:49):
Well, yeah, and I wasn't gonna let him, like, Hey,
you go to you know, Detroit by yourself with people
that I don't know and all that stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:20:57):
But well, I'm so happy that one you're here. You
have a box of gifts. Do you I mean, do
you want to give it to us now or do
you want to give it to us after? I don't
know what it is.

Speaker 11 (01:21:06):
Oh, it would be on the high it would be
on the air.

Speaker 15 (01:21:08):
Luck.

Speaker 9 (01:21:08):
You could see my pants.

Speaker 5 (01:21:10):
Know your pants are awesome.

Speaker 9 (01:21:11):
I wear happy pants. I lead worship at a school
and so there's eighteen months to eighth grade kids that
I lead worship with and I always wear my happy
pants for them. Mostly the middle school. We could care less,
but the little ones like my pants.

Speaker 5 (01:21:27):
And we're like your little ones were We act like
it's our whole situation here.

Speaker 9 (01:21:32):
Did you get to all your questions?

Speaker 6 (01:21:34):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:21:34):
I could just for two hours?

Speaker 9 (01:21:35):
Oh I can. We can fire them.

Speaker 11 (01:21:38):
I'll tend words less.

Speaker 5 (01:21:40):
Did you ever, like way back in the day, talk
about doing dancing with the stars?

Speaker 9 (01:21:44):
Oh? My yes, yeah, they never I wasn't ever.

Speaker 5 (01:21:50):
But did they not approach they approach you or now
they never approached you about it?

Speaker 9 (01:21:53):
No, they I've got I went out there a few
times too so to support people, and they still never call.
See okay, I'd like to say maybe they saw my
TikTok it.

Speaker 5 (01:22:03):
Hasn't been up long enough. I think I think you
would be excellent for the show. Oh i'd love Do
you do it now?

Speaker 15 (01:22:09):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:22:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:22:10):
It would be fun.

Speaker 5 (01:22:10):
Okay, I mean I know people, so I'll just send
out a text and be like hey, Because they do
look for different areas, right they look for somebody in
country music every other year. They do look for like
an athlete. And I'll just be like, hey, keep jodyn
Seeing in mind. If you wouldn't mind me doing that,
I'll go for it. I don't want to do that,
and then go for it.

Speaker 9 (01:22:28):
It'd be fun because if.

Speaker 5 (01:22:29):
They came to and you said no, then I'd look bad.
Then I'd have to be like boycott d.

Speaker 9 (01:22:37):
I don't even have a response. Okay, the boycott thing.
I thought i'd have a quick comeback. I needn't.

Speaker 5 (01:22:43):
The album just is out this summer. I don't know
what that means. Any date yet, which when you just
want to wait.

Speaker 9 (01:22:49):
Yeah, if Sarah Sarah, what do you think?

Speaker 5 (01:22:52):
You don't have to say it now you can tell.

Speaker 9 (01:22:53):
You Sarah's like the mastermind behind all the marketing.

Speaker 5 (01:22:57):
I just heard way their close to confirmings. I don't
say yeah, okay, I heard in my ear.

Speaker 11 (01:23:00):
Oh yeah, there is something in the works there.

Speaker 5 (01:23:02):
Do you play any of the new shows live?

Speaker 11 (01:23:05):
Now that it's out, We're going to do the whole song.

Speaker 5 (01:23:08):
That's awesome, but people.

Speaker 9 (01:23:09):
Were so frustrated because I would just do a little
bit of the chorus and then the hook and then
would end it, and they're like, no, they've never heard
the whole thing.

Speaker 11 (01:23:19):
Till your show.

Speaker 5 (01:23:21):
Amy. Any question for Jodie before she goes.

Speaker 10 (01:23:24):
Yeah, well your energy, Like where does that come from?

Speaker 4 (01:23:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:23:28):
How do you do it?

Speaker 11 (01:23:29):
Like gratitude?

Speaker 10 (01:23:30):
I think, oh yeah, okay, so it's just pure like
like it's joy.

Speaker 6 (01:23:36):
It's not there's a happiness joy content Like would you
describe yourself as content?

Speaker 9 (01:23:41):
I somebody said why has it taken ten years? And
I was like, well, I don't know. I've just kind
of been content.

Speaker 11 (01:23:46):
You know, I'm happy. So when I say I'm happy
to be here.

Speaker 9 (01:23:49):
I'm happy to be here at the Bobby Bones Show
and happy to be here.

Speaker 10 (01:23:54):
You know, well, there is just different energy about you.

Speaker 6 (01:23:56):
Like sometimes people come in and they're happy and it
feels a little manufactured or just like they're putting on
and like you're just like I feel the energy.

Speaker 9 (01:24:03):
So that's that's Jesus. That joy, that joy that comes
from within. Is not like, oh, he makes me so
happy because he gave me a new car.

Speaker 11 (01:24:13):
I don't have a new car. He bought it used,
it's five years older.

Speaker 9 (01:24:17):
But it isn't that. It's not happy. Happiness is depending
on your situation. It's a joy where and perspective too.
Just grateful and grateful I get to sit here with you.
I'm like, that's a gift, that it really is. And
you know that I love you and I see maybe
once every couple of years, and it's so so this

(01:24:37):
moment is awesome.

Speaker 5 (01:24:39):
It's weird. Just do you say that, because you're right,
that's absolutely right. But I social media allows you to
feel like you're closer to somebody because we know each other.
But I see all the sid that you're doing, so
I don't I don't feel like it's been a couple
of years. But you're right, I think since we've hugged
each other, it's been a couple of years. Yeah, but
I do like keep up so it doesn't feel like
we're so disconnected. And I also feel like I could
just message and me like, hey, what up?

Speaker 9 (01:25:00):
Yeah, I said, Bobby messages.

Speaker 5 (01:25:04):
That's not weird. That's because that's because we know each other.

Speaker 1 (01:25:07):
Well.

Speaker 11 (01:25:08):
Yeah, I like to think.

Speaker 9 (01:25:09):
I like to think so because there are moments where
I just reach out or I think when you announced,
when you guys made your announcement, I was like, hang on, brother,
where it's about to change.

Speaker 5 (01:25:19):
My wife getting pregnant?

Speaker 9 (01:25:20):
Yes, yeah, because let me tell you, there's a part
of your heart. You love your wife and you think
you know what love feels like, but there's a part
of your heart that you don't even know exists until
that child comes and then you're.

Speaker 3 (01:25:32):
Like where what is this?

Speaker 11 (01:25:34):
Where did this come from?

Speaker 9 (01:25:36):
You know? And so I'm so excited for thank you
