Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Number two. Hey, y'all,
welcome to the Best Bits. This is just the Bits.
It's Morgan here. And what we're gonna do is countdown
seven segments from the Bobby Bone Show this week that
y'all really loved. And we're just gonna kick it off
and get started because coming in hot and number seven,
Lunchbox was dared to nap in public and if he
(00:24):
was able to do it without being interrupted for fifteen
minutes from himself or from an employee or anything like that,
then he would get a hundred bucks from Bobby. And well,
I'm just gonna say he did it and it was
nice and awkwards, So here you go. Number seven. I
mentioned on the air that I thought it'd be a
funny segment off Lunchbox went into a mattress store because
we had you know, we went to the whole process
(00:45):
of like, Okay, which sleep number do we want? That's
our kind of bed, and so I had to go
in like they went like laid on him, like, oh god,
like this one. And so it was'd be funny if
Lunchboxes went to a store and just went to sleep
like testing it out, and I guess offered money. I'm
gonna lady, I said one hundred bucks. Yes, And you
told me I had to sleep for fifteen minutes. I
said that's awesome. I didn't know I said that long. Yeah,
(01:06):
And you said so you have to have someone witness it.
And I was like, well, if I take my wife,
he's not. Of course, my wife just said I did it.
So I hit up Abby. I was like, hey, I
need you to meet me at a mattress store. So
with Google mattress stores, I have, you know, don't know
what they're gonna look like. We show up. It is
a tiny mattress store. Abby. What it looked like in there? Oh? Yeah,
it was really small and like one employee and you
(01:27):
went in first, but without lunchbox. Yeah, so they didn't
know you were together, right, So I'm just looking at
beds casually. Well, it seems like for a long time
yet like at Beds, Yes, I was waiting for him
to get in there. I was like trying to like
Google mattresses and act like I was interested in how
long were you in the store before he actually walked in?
Oh Man, probably five to ten minutes. That would be
an eternity. Yeah, so you walk in or you wearing
(01:50):
pajamas or anything? Nope, just wearing shorts, T shirt, shoes.
And I walk right up to the ladies. She's sitting
behind a desk and I was like, yeah, man, wear
are your soft mattresses? And she's like trying to tell
me something I don't know, and she points at one
right by her desk, right next to her desk, and
I see it. Nervous at all? Or do you feel
I didn't care one bit. I was like, I'm tired.
(02:10):
I'm gonna fall asleep. It's gonna be great. Did you
feel like you could do it? No problem? Did you
need a blanket? I have so many questions. I was like, man,
I'm tired. It was three something that afternoon. I had
to have a nap yet did you not nap on purpose? Ding? Ding? Ding?
So I'd be tired. And so I get next to
the bed and I said, I need to take my
shoes off? And did you take your shoes off? No?
Need to take your shoes off? Man? Why they don't
(02:32):
pad on the bottom? No? No they don't. They said,
no problem, No, don't need to take them off. Wow, Okay,
here's the first clip, this is you asking for a
certain type of mattress and then he apparently falls asleep
in this clip, Abby, but where are you when he's
talking to the person? And is it awkward for me?
Are you trying to stay? It's so small When he
walked in, I was laying on a bed. She's asleep,
(02:56):
just like testing them out, and so I just basically
wandered around this. I mean it was literally in a
strip center and it was just like the size of
like a sandwich shop. It's like, you know, like a
subway or a quiz or any of those. It was
that small. So again this first clip, as you're talking
about it, but then does it cut to you like
laying him laying down away? Yeah? Yeah, you go hear
me sleep? All right? Here we go. Which ones are
(03:16):
your soft ones? I don't know the difference. I'm just soft.
I like soft, So I want to go try a
soft one. Okay, um, well this one I have fun
us considered this one. Should I take my shoes off? No?
You don't have to. Okay, are practice sleeping? You're practice there.
(03:42):
I'm going to sleep. You are going to sleep with it.
So we're hearing him go to sleep. Wow, is there
something else here listening? No? Is this We had to
play all this clip though with my mom. I have
(04:02):
fifteen minutes of it. No, you don't, yeah to do well,
We're not playing fifteen minutes of it, but you really
literally do just to prove it. Yeah, I lay there.
I love my phone running for fifteen minutes. So have
you watched him? And again you had to stay there
for fifteen more minute minutes? Huh? Was the lady awkward
at all? No, she was kind of at her desk,
but I did see at one point she got her
phone out and I was trying to take pictures of him,
(04:25):
like to show because I'm sure she's never seen that.
Did First of all, did you really fall asleep? He
really did? Like I feel like I was hearing snoring.
I didn't want to get too close to him because
I just had decle like I didn't know him, so
I just stayed over. But I feel like I kind
of did hear snoring. Here is lunchbox waking up after
fifteen minutes of sleep. Thank you welcome. I'm rejuvenating, ready
(04:56):
to go back to work. Good. I just get next time.
We got to turn the music down little bit. I
mean I need that, and then a blanket. I need
a blanket next time, you know. Yeah, you literally don't
give a step for that reason. Oh man, well thank you.
But I was good now problem, I have a great day.
Oh my gosh. She wasn't even like, do you want
the bed? No? She was so like what is he doing?
(05:18):
Because I set the alarm in my pocket so you
could it would vibrate and it would go off and
woke you up. That's how I knew to wake up.
Would you have slept? All? I have slept all day.
So then I walked out of the storebaks that it's
dark out. I walked out of the store and I
went to the car. And then Abby called me later
and she said she talked to the lady afterwards about
(05:39):
what happened, and uh, Abby, what'd she say? That was
the funniest thing ever. She was like, I have never
seen that in ten years that I've been working in
a mattress store. That he came in during his break
to take a nap. Well, then he also was like
all right, that'll do it, And they nothing about buying
the bed, like it was so normal, like all right,
(06:00):
I appreciate that that's you know what you gotta I'll
inpend one hundred bucks right now. Nice job. Wow. What
was so funny is her desk was right there and
they were kind of facing each other. Oh yeah, it
was so awkward. I fall asleep so quickly and so easily,
so quick, It's awesome. I'm an airplane. He'll go all right,
I'm gonna sit down, and he starts to just drool.
He starts coming out. Yeah, droll does come out. It
(06:22):
happens any droll in the bed. I know I was
because here on the plane is it's I'm straight up,
and now when I'm on my back, I don't drowl.
If I'm on my side or stomach or sitting up,
droll comes out. I gotta say this is excellent work
out with the money. It's worth the money. Wow, launchbuck
killing it with fifteen minutes of sleep. Next up is fine.
Even harder challenges places from to sleep and see if
(06:44):
he can do it. I'm gonna go broke. Dang it.
I'm gonna enjoy this segment so much. I'm gonna go broke.
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number
two Mitchell Timpenny was on the show this week, and
he's just all around a really great, genuine and he
was talking about the valet job that he had when
he was just starting out as an artist. He had
(07:05):
just signed a publishing deal and needed a side gig
and he was valeting cars and he valeted Tim McGraw's car.
Martina McBride's just some fun stories that came from him
talking about these jobs that he had before he full
on was able to pursue the artist thing. So y'all
give it up. I mean, Mitchell Timpany, he's just awesome.
If you don't listen to his music, make sure you
(07:26):
check it out. But this interview is great, And without
further ado, here's Mitchell Timpany and Bobby Bones number six.
There's a lot of things to say right now. Number
one is your voice is what seventy percent? Yeah? If
if it's that yeah, And he brought a guitar and
he's gonna fight through it. He was going full like
torn acl I's still gonna play the game. But I
(07:46):
was like, don't don't hurt yourself any worse. So I'm glad. First,
congrats on the number one song, Thank You, Thank y'all
for that, No need to push a voice. We can
play studio versions of what you've done. And thirdly, if
you want to come back in and perform any other time,
let us know. Thank you dude, as soon as it's
back in, Like, don't stress out about it. But I
would bet that your voice, even torn up, is better
(08:08):
than what sixty percent of country music. Thank you guys. Yeah, yeah,
let's talk for Oh you were the last time I'm
supposed to come in you got sick. No, my brother
was sick then, and so that was during COVID. It
wasn't COVID. It was just just a normal flu. But
uh yeah, we that we were being very cautious then,
so and we appreciate that, of course. Think you so,
Mitchell Tinpenny, you got another number one. I don't know
(08:32):
what I remember. The first time I heard this, I
was like, that's the most cutting song I've ever heard,
in a loving way, in a lovely way towards you,
because it's like, stop telling lies about me. I won't
tell the truth about you. I'm like, dude, I want
to yell Jerry, Jerry, let me play a hook at
this song that just went number one from Mitchell Tinpenny
if you last tell the truth of you, When whomever
(08:59):
said that line did go, oh yeah, I mean that's
literally how it was. I Matt Alderman, one of the
co writers Thomas Artre and Matt Alderman I wrote with,
and Matt said something like, man quit lying about me
and there's and I promise I won't tell all the
truth about you or something like that, and I was like,
I know exactly how to write this song, like I've
I've been there and I'm not gonna lie. I mean,
(09:20):
I've probably you know, done it too, where you where
you tell a different story, you want a better story
on breakup sometimes, you know when you're growing up and um,
I don't know. It just hit me kind of hard
that day when I heard it, and when you know,
we massage it to the way the melody is now.
But that's like back of the bus. Oh, it's like
a freestyle when you hit hit the good rhymes. Yeah,
that's good man. The album is called This is the
(09:42):
Heavy What does that mean? Man? I love rock and
roll music too. I kind of come from that. I
used to be a drummer in a band and a screamer.
So the heavy. The lyrically it's a little heavier, but
you know, everything else, the production is a little bit heavier.
Country is the lyrics through and through on this. I'm
you know, Country's storytelling to me. So we stayed that lane.
(10:02):
But turn the guitars up a little bit, gained them
up a little bit, you know, put the drums a
little bit more forward in the mix. It's just heavier.
It's just a little heavier. And you know, I think
the lyrics because I'm a little older and life has
happened a little bit more, and they're they're a little heavier.
So I just thought the title sounded cool and then
it kind of mixed and it all kind of blended
in together with you know where I was trying to
go with this next record. That's also the first song too.
(10:23):
This is the heavy right all right. Yeah, it's an
intro track. It's an intro track into the song too,
so I missed records with intro tracks, and it just
kind of sets the tone for the record. And it's
a lot of fun. Yeah, it's like the ladies and gentlemen.
The music you're about to listen to is gonna take
you to an all new place. A place that only
few people have ever discovered. Your bones they're gonna eight. Yeah,
(10:46):
I feel like we missed out. Your muscles are gonna
so you tonight Mitchell. Mitchell's record comes out. This is
the Heavy and you know it's twenty songs. Yeah, and
be honest, a lot of songs. I know it's the
all good or just some of it. I'm a little
biased on him, but you can you can be honest
with me. I uh, you know, it's been four years
(11:07):
since the last record, and we started with eleven. I
was like, it's got to have this other song. I
can't not put this song on. And I was like, man,
can you call him and ask we can do fourteen?
And then I was like what about sixteen? And then
it got to nineteen and I was like, uh, we
gotta make it twenty. You gotta go twenty. It's gotta
be two vinyls, you know, And we could have gone
to way more. It's just a lot of music was
(11:28):
written in the last three years for me personally, and
it's hard to pick, and especially in this time. I
think people like a lot of music, so and it'll
go quicker than you think to those twenty songs will
be Yeah, one of them, the one song one. Yeah,
now I know all there's one eleven seconds. He doesn't know,
but that the label cut them all down. He was like, yeah,
(11:49):
I do twenty. Yeah, you were in school to be
a songwriter. You went and you studied songwriting. I always
think the art's a weird thing to study. Yeah, it wasn't,
really it was. It wasn't really songwritings. Like studying songwriting.
It was just putting you in a class with other
songwriters and meeting them. They didn't teach you how to
write songs. They just told you to write songs and
then we would share them. Would you ever hear one
(12:10):
it was terrible? I mean I don't. I don't think
anybody's songs terrible. I've heard of you. If you come
out and say it, I don't. I mean, who am
I to say a song is terrible? But uh, there's
definitely people that you know probably needed to do a
different thing. It was did you tell them that? I
definitely did not, because I'm probably at that time definitely
a sounding like I needed to as well. When you
graduated in your working construction, what what did you do daily?
(12:34):
Because I works but every job is so different. What
did you do? I think mostly you know, up in
the rafters doing insulation in drywall, and then and you
were wearing mask Yeah, we were wearing masks and just
to itchy, you know, all that fiberglass in your arms
every day. I was, I was over it, man, it
was yeah, so you're doing that. What were you doing
(12:56):
when you got there? When you finally were like, Okay,
I can actually make money as a songwriter and I
don't have to do this anymore. What was the job
you quit? Um? I was. I was still valeting cars
when I got my publishing deal to supplement because your
first publishing deal is not the drawls not very good.
I mean it's enough to make you quit a job
to you know, kind of work full time there. But
(13:17):
I still needed extra extra cash and live so I
was valeting cars. So I think I quit that for sure.
You ever take the change of the middle. No, I
never did. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah he's valleying cars. I wonder.
I honestly, I was so scared. I was. I never
wanted someone to accuse me of stealing, so I wouldn't
make sure that i'd be left money for them extra money.
There was an extra five every time Mitchell parked your car.
(13:39):
I did not have an extra five back then. I
promise I wish anybody cool ever drop off their car. Yeah,
you know. I parked Tim McGraw's um one of his
uh shoot when it was a bit leay back then,
like I would do it. We drove. I don't care
about Tim McGraw. I'm just like you drove a bit. Yeah, well,
I know I left it right up front Stony River.
Alady moved it like two more feet. And then Martina
(14:02):
McBride came out one time and she was with her
producer and they both had separate cars, and she was
handing me one hundred dollar billing. I could see it
in her hand. I was like, that's gonna make my week.
And her producer goes, no, no, no no, I'll take care
of him when he gets hard. And I was like, no, say,
oh man, maybe i'll get double. I get both cars.
There was a five dollars villa and I was like,
oh man, that's terrible. Martina was coming hard. Did you
(14:27):
get nervous driving the big fancy cars? Yeah. I wasn't
very good at driving a stick um. I didn't learn
on a stick, and there was a I moved to
Ferrari one time in front of a steakhouse and I,
you know, I stalled it out and the guy was
so nice. He just he leans in, he goes racing
clutch and he smiled at me, and I was like,
Oh cool, anybody else want to help me park smile.
(14:50):
I always wonder if some of these cars are really
weird on the inside, and like the yeah park driver verse,
all that's in different places and stuff. You ever get
to want to just get confused? Yeah, there was. There
was a couple of cars. It was right when the
push button was starting to be a thing, and the
nights are like Mercedes and BMW's and stuff, and I'd
never add that. So there's a couple of cars where
it took me a minute to figure out how to
(15:10):
start it once it's that big of an idiot I am.
I have a car that you don't put when the
keys in it. That's like the keys starting the car.
And I left it running, but I kept ky in
my pocket, went and had dinner. Then they couldn't move
it and they didn't know where I went because we
went to a restaurant that wasn't the one. I just
wanted to use that valet. They couldn't find me. Oh wow, yeah,
and the car sitting there and it just stayed there
(15:33):
the whole time running. Oh it's stay stayed running. Well,
I just got my first with the keys like that,
And I've always been confused. If I've run off with
the key, what's gonna have? It'll stay there and they'll
look for you, and they'll be confused, and you will
come back and they'll be mad at you. That'll basically
be how that goes. I can help you out there.
Someone left did that to me once, you know, we
had the little box with the keys, and someone decided
to leave their car there and go to another restaurant.
(15:53):
And at the end of the night, I'm like, I
have still have this key up. There's no one in
the restaurant that this key belongs to, and I we
gotta go. And so I thought, you know, I lost
somebody's everything, you know, And it was I had to
call my boss. He had to come down. He was
so mad at me. And all of a sudden, they
walk across the street and they get in their car
and take off, and I was like, well, there it
was I guess seen Mitchell to him is a big star,
(16:16):
but he's still he still like us. You know, he
still remembers what it was like to be the common man.
And what is it like the transition for me in
the common man to a big star. I'm still extremely
common man. Look at this guy. It's crazy. You have
two number ones this year. So obviously Truth about You,
which is just went number one, and then at the
end of the Bar Yeah, which also was on AM
with you and Chris Young. It's crazy, man, Thank you.
(16:36):
It's it's been a minute since drunk me. So I'm
just I truly am honored and I'm just grateful to
be back in country radio. Man. I don't want to
wear your voice out too much, but I do want
to bring up one thing. And in the video for
Good and Gone, Yeah, you were breaking stuff. Yeah, one
of those what do you call him, like the chaos room? Yeah,
(16:56):
the rooms you're going with a hammer and just yeah.
Well they brought that up, like what if you did this,
and I was like, I've never done that, and I've
heard about those. Let's let's try it. It It was. It's
a lot of fun. I can see why people need
to go do that. You liked it? It was fun.
I mean you you can definitely get hurt in there
by accident, like you get carried away. Like like you
so you walk through a room and you hard. Are
you going? What are you harboring in there? I mean
(17:17):
you got a sledgehammer in an old TV. Everyone's gonna
go the same. You're gonna go hard. But yeah, you
you walk through a room and you pick out the
things you want to they have a price on them,
and you like, I'm gonna break that. I'm gonna break that. Hey,
as you go, well, the label paid for this one.
I wouldn't have spend them. Yeah, you pays. You go
so like like he might break a couple of stuff
and it takes five minutes. You're like, dang, that's not
(17:39):
long enough. So they know it's a good business. I mean,
like we need to start a wrecking room somewhere. It's
pretty easy. You know what Amy has been and has
she know she's like I want to break something. She's
kind of turned. She's like jumping his phone, poll fully clothed.
You know she's been going through stay yeah yeah, yeah,
and we know we got her a TV to do that.
Here though. We brought hern old TV and she went
down on it. Oh no wait did you Yeah in
(17:59):
the back alley and I had I guess the sledgehammer
and I got to just beat up the TV. That
was it an old box one or like a flash screen. Yeah.
We literally took him to his office. We were just like,
let's that's amazing. Here's what I want to Mitchell. First,
congratulations on the number one song tonight. This is the
(18:21):
heaviest out and you can go ahead and do that
whatever it's pre say, and we can pre save Mitchell's
next ten album. I don't know how to all that's it,
but it's there. Tonight Mitchell's record is. And when your
voice is back, if it's next week and you want
to come up and play next week, you're welcome to.
If it's two weeks, we can do it again. You

(18:42):

He's with the guitar back there and he's like, bro,

There he is Mitchell ten. Tell everybody all right, you
(19:03):
guys follow him? M the number ten, penny, M ten
the number penny the end. It's the best bits of
the week with Morgan number two on the show. This
week we did a millennial movie review by yours Truly.
I talked about watching stand by Me for the very
(19:25):
first time. Now. This is a favorite of Bobby and
Lunchbox and Eddies, and they kind of hyped it up
before I watched it, and I did have some good
things to say about it. Though this movie made me
very sad, and I don't appreciate that when I watched movies.
So you can hear my entire review right now. And
if you know, I think stand by Me actually holds
(19:45):
up over time number five. I'm not a big movie guy,
but I love stand by Me. It's from nineteen eighty six.
I don't think I watched it when I was little older,
but stand by Me, kids like Jerry O'Connell. That's right.
It was him back in the day. So good Lee Jays.
They just yell a lot, huh, they're kids, so yeah,
(20:06):
but it was awesome and it was based I haven't
seen it forever, like in the sixties though, right, But
wasn't it like maybe the eighties but based in like
the sixties? Yes, you remember, maybe even my fifties. So
we all talked about how much we loved it. It's
a ninety one percent positive on Rotten Tomatoes, and so
we had Morgan watch it is a millennial movie review.
First time you'd seen it, right, first time I'd seen it,
even heard of it. It's only an hour and twenty
(20:27):
nine minutes that those are the good So what did
you watch it on? I actually watched it on Amazon.
I had to rent it. It's not anywhere else to watch.
You can stream it. It's okay about So what did
you think it was about before you watched it? Like
going into it? Your thoughts? Well, I saw four boys
and in the thing it says serious life lessons. I'm like, great,
this is another Goodies movie. That's my initial first thought
(20:50):
was I'm about to watch another Goonies. Did you watch
another gooonies. It felt that way at first because it's
these four kids and they, you know, come from these
rough life scenarios and they're coming together and kind of
go on an adventure. But that adventure is really dark,
and stand by me, they're they're searching for the dead body. Yes, yeah,
it spoiler. If you ever even by now you ain't
watching it searching for the dead body again, you have
(21:13):
to help me because I haven't seen it a long time.
It was rumored why somebody saw the dead body, and
one of the kids overheard people talking about it, got
it okay, yes, and they're like, you know what, we'll
go find it will be the heroes. They wanted to
show the town that they're better than everybody thought that
they actually were, and so they go on this huge adventure.
You guys mentioned the train that the whole thing happens,
(21:35):
and I enjoyed it, but I just felt bad for
these kids the entire movie. They have really rough lives.
They go and find another kid's dead body, then they're
dealing with like older brothers who are really mean to them,
and then they're crying halfway throughout because they're learning life
lessons while they're on this adventure and you just feel
bad for each character throughout. So I was like, this
(21:57):
is not a funny movie. And I was like, this
is no. I think you just attached goonies to it.
I know I did, because I found I saw the
four Boys and I was like, great, this is a
goonies are going on an adventure. So it wasn't funny
at all, and it had a lot more emotions and
more seriousness attached to it. So I did enjoy it
from that aspect, but I just really ended up feeling
(22:20):
sad the entire time. Did you think the leech scene
was funny? Yeah? It was funny. Also weird to watch
a little kid like reached down in his hands underwear.
That felt weird. That was a weird kid. That's a
weird scene to watch as a kid. It really was.
And I thought I got leeches on my wiener everywhere
I went, now everybody of water. I was like looking
down to see what do you? What do you rate it?
(22:41):
So I did enjoy it. It wasn't my favorite movie
I've watched, but I give it three point five out
of five leeches it's pretty strong. Good. Three point five
out of five is good. Did it hold up since
it was eighty six? Do you feel like any of
you not liking it was because of how grainy it looked,
or any of how it was shot or looked old
not rainy. But there's definitely like words and things they
(23:02):
say in there that do not hold up now. But
they were in the fifties, I know. But that's what
I'm saying. That's what it doesn't hold up because there's
a lot of things you wouldn't say now and you
wouldn't talk about that way. So for that reason, I
would say it probably doesn't hold up now. Three out
of five, three point five out of five leeches like it.
It's good. Would you recommend it to somebody your age?
Probably not. Wow, it's quickly. Anyone watched a good movie
(23:26):
lately at all? We haven't jumped back into Elvis yet
on HBO to watch That's it's seven hours long, so cold.
Prepare yourself. It's not that long. I can watch it
over the need to intermission. Even when you're watching at home,
I need to stop it and a TV they should
force you to turn the TV off so you can
enjoy it. But yeah, yeah, pretty good any movies at all?
I don't have a movie Woodstock documentary. Amazing, guys, let
(23:48):
me watch the second one. I'm about to start, the
one from ninety nine. Yeah, you saw the first one
I talked about. I know, but I just want to
reiterate how awesome it was, and ninety nine is going up. Yeah,
you'll like that. I think you'll like that one personally
even better because you'll recognize a lot of the people
on there from when you were in high school. Okay, Eddie,
anything you've seen any movie late, just Pinocchio saw that
last week. It's great. I mean, it really is, but
(24:10):
it's just weird. I mean, it's dark. It's definitely not
the way I remember the cartoon being. Yeah, I didn't
bring this sad stuff about the cartoon. Daman's very sad.
I don't ever seen the cartoon. I just know the story.
I have another fun fact about it that I learned
his name is Pinocchio because he's made a pine. Pinocchio
didn't know that. I don't think they said that in
the original movie. What's Okio though? I think it's their
Italian so it's just like Pinocchio. All Right, Morgan, thank you.
(24:33):
Your next challenge is gonna be to watch Beetle Juice, Yes, Beetlejuice.
Have you ever seen Beetlejuice? You know, I've seen a
lot of pop culture things from it, but I don't
think i've watched it front to end. Michael Keaton his
Beetle Juice and if you say his name three times
he shows up. Come mister. I mean it's ball too,
(24:57):
So now I can get in the spirit of Halloween. Yeah,
it's perfect timing. Yeah, exactly why I wasn't but that's
exactly And it's on. It looks like it's going to
be on. What is it? Mike Peacock. Peacock, I do
have Peacock. Love it all right? Thank you Morgan. It's
the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.
It's always fun getting to hear about Amy's kids, and
(25:20):
she shared an update this week on her son playing football.
She had shared on Instagram his official football photo, which
is really cute and you can see that at Bobby
Bones dot com. But she also talked about if he's
liking it, how it's been going, and there is something
that he's afraid of when he plays this sport, and
you know you might relate to it. Maybe you were
like this playing sports growing up, or maybe your kids
(25:41):
are like this now. So here it is. Amy talks
about her son and him playing football. Number four. Amy's
son is playing football for the first time, which is awesome.
He's he's really small. Yeah, he's one of the smallest
on the team. Yeah. Might not be. Yeah, but I
admire that he's out there. But he's got hustle. He does.
So how's it going. I mean it's going. He loves
(26:02):
it so much, like and it's not like he's getting
tons and tons of playing time, but he doesn't have
any expectations for it. So it's awesome. I love his team,
I love his coaches. It's Navy, like they're the Navy.
They have colors. There a color, they have a mascot. Well,
they're part he's part of a league. In the league
has a name, and then inside the league you're on
(26:23):
a color. Each team has a color. Because they can't
even get like an animals really weird. I haven't seen
an animal. They could be like the Navy. What's the
animals end? Then? Maybe never? Never nippers called the color
than a nipper. There are any animals that start with
end or anything that starts. Have we found the animal
(26:48):
that interesting? The Neanderthals? I mean, that's not an animal.
But I can't believe they don't have a mascot. So
have they? Yeah? They won last weekend? Uh, we're I
mean I think that they're on a winning streak. I
don't have the full total of He hasn't scored anything.
He's played safety, but also another position that I can't remember. Um.
(27:09):
I love it. He's always waiting on the sideline the coach.
Even the last game we were at, the coach had
to yell at him to step back, step back, because
coaches get into it, but they're really into it. They're yelling,
and I just thought, Oh, he just got yelled at
to step back. But I love that he was eager
to be on the line watching the game. Has he
been hit hard? Yeah, and he's very scared of that.
(27:30):
I don't know that I should publicly say that. Why
I say it now? I hate to get hit. It's
not fun. Well, so if he ever hears this, I
don't want someone to be like, oh, so you're because
I guess kids at school sometimes listen and they might
be like, oh heard, you're scared to get hit. I
would like to say I was scared and still am
scared as an adult man. Now that's a big fear.
Like he he gets in the car and he's like,
oh man, I was really scared to get tackled. He's
(27:51):
but he's been reminded by everybody that knows football, like
just go all full force, Like don't You'll get hurt
if you don't go all in. And are you watching
any game tape of him? Yeah, they have a website
you can go to where you can watch the end everything.
They loaded up Dad Films. It's a little shaky, but
(28:11):
he could watch it. And he's watching other He's watching
college and the other NFL. Yeah, you're watching all listen.
That hadn't started. First college game started first, so he
started with college and then NFL came and he sits
down and wants to learn from the pros. I saw
the picture you posted of him on your Instagram and
you just wrote dead on it. Yeah. It's a good picture. Yeah,
(28:34):
except where that was confusing to some older people. I
guess in our family that followed thought he was dead.
Oh I got a text message that um and it
was very serious. It was not a joke. It's just
from older people that didn't understand quite what dead meant,
and so they were confused by the post. And I thought,
(28:54):
could you imagine if that is how I announced our
child died was dead and it's like a football pictures
looking tough. Yeah, like this is how we lost our son.
I mean, there's that picture is pretty legit too. It's
an awesome picture and all that's photoshop. By the way,
So will you explain to our listeners what dead means?
In case? Dead means he looks so stink and cute
(29:16):
in this picture that I die, Like it's so cute
and awesome that I'm dead. It's a saying, It's an expression.
It doesn't mean you've been moved with so much emotion
or feeling or reaction that it has caused you to
die in a figurative sense. Yes, there you go. Okay, Well,
good luck to him. I'm I'm excited for him. Yeah, okay,
can you catch? Yeah, he can catch, and he can throw.
(29:39):
I mean, it doesn't have much opportunity to do it.
But when we throw in the I mean I can
throw too. Quite Okay, we're gonna get It's the best
bits of the week with Morgan Number two a bit
controversial of a segment this week. Scuba Steve talked about
the conversation him and his wife have had to be
having lately in the several months ever since she got
(30:01):
pregnant with their third child, and the show kind of
went atoms on y'all listeners went atom It was, you know,
just a lot happening in this segment. But I encourage
you to listen to it and see some different perspectives
and also check out the engagement online. If you've got
a strong opinion, you can share it with us there.
You can call on the voicemail line and let Scuba
because he's got to listen to those voicemails. Though, So
(30:23):
y'all be nice. Everybody needs to be nice out there, Okay,
But this was a controversial segment on the show this week.
Number three Scuba Steve is our executive producer, which means
he's calling the shots from behind the glass. Scuba, what's
happening in your personal life right now? So we have
a third child coming and my wife is now looking
at the situation as do I continue on working or
do I move forward with being a stay at home mother?
(30:45):
Has she ever been a stay at home home never
she's worked since she's fifteen years old, so almost twenty years.
So on the third kid, Now, you guys have to
make that decision based on how much it would cost
for childcare. Yes, it's kind of outweighing that, like how
much money should bring in versable we pay for that,
and it almost breaks even, So it's not worth it
to have Fanny anymore. So if it breaks Steven, well,
but what about her mental health and what about you?
Because if she doesn't want to do it, but still,
(31:07):
let's say it does help a bit financially, I mean
her how she feels about it's gonna be a big deal, right,
That's the biggest concern, is that because you've done something
for so long, Like imagine you leaving radio to become
a state home father. That'd be cool, but it'd be
very tough because you're changing up what you've always known
and her independence and going to work and just all
those things that you're not going to have anymore because
you're tied to three kids at home, can't go anywhere.
(31:28):
These conversations have been had between you. This is the
first time I'm talking about right here on the show. Yeah, yeah,
Scoopa would do that crap. I'm really nervous about talking
to her about it. What's the conversation been like for
you too? So we've been talking about for the last
few months, just outweighing the financial side of things, which
is the most important because we have to pay for
ourselves and pay for them, but then of course the
mental side of things. And we've made the decision for
(31:50):
her to walk away from work, and it's going to
happen at the end of this month, so she's doing it.
Who really wanted that to happen? I think, well, I've
always wanted it. Like when I took this job initially,
and when I left la and moved here to Nashville
about two years ago, we had kind of a conversation
and she promised me she'd be a stay at home mother.
But then a month or so later, she went right
back to work. And I have to respect that as
(32:12):
her husband and her partner, to say that she wants
to go back to work. I understand that at the
time we could afford our lifestyle without her going to work,
but she wanted it, so I gave it to her.
But now we're at a point with three children she's
got to stay at home. So you really wanted it.
I really wanted it from the from the start end. Now, yes,
I want I want my wife raising my children. Nothing,
that's nothing wrong with it any everyone else she's great,
(32:34):
But but I but I My mom was was a
stay at home mom, and she raised us and gave
us all our foundations and everything. And I would like
for my wife to be that as well. So based
on how you grew up, you want to make your
wife do that? Yes? Yeah? How does she feel about her? Still?
She's well, she's very nervous. She's like, she cried at
her last meeting last week because she has to leave
(32:55):
this job that she loves. Um, So it's very it's
very tough with three kids. Could you have afforded for
her to go to work? Yes, she can go to work,
but then it's almost like, what's the point of going
to work. You're paying for the nanny and then there's
no money left over. I desire to work. Yeah, and
she's not raising your kids. That's also you got to
take that into account. Here's the thing that stands out
(33:15):
to me. Well, first of all, we can't pass down
how we were raised in things like, we can't bring
that into our own lives as much as we want to.
You have to like forge your new way. Then she
promised you she would do it, and then when she
got here, she realized, oh shoot, that's not really what
I wanted to do, so she went back to work.
That speaks volumes to me here about what she really wants.
(33:36):
But do you think she promised you that she would
do it only to satisfy you at that time, that
she really didn't even want to do it, Then maybe
that could have been that. Yet she gave it a
try and then was like, oh god, it was like
only a month though. Wasn't it much of a try?
It wasn't wasn't much. Wasn't much of a try? Wow, Okay, Amy,
(33:56):
go ahead. And so I just know I just feel
for her because, as you know, I always thought whenever
I became a mom, I would leave this show. And
there was actually times where I mean, if I had
gotten pregnant, I had thought, well, I'm going to be
a stay at a mom, so I might as well quit.
I got to raise a baby, and then it worked
out to where I adopted older children that would go
(34:16):
into school, So I never had to, But I think
had it come down to it, I would have tried
to stay with the show because I love my job.
I love what I do, And even though I had
made that promise to my husband and our family and
that's what I said I was going to do, I
would have gone back on it and it probably would
have been a difficult conversation in our home too. So
I get where Steve is coming from, but you have
(34:37):
to do what's best for her mentally. She's going to rest,
you can afford it. Yeah, I feel like she's being
bullied into this a little bit. Listen, if you want
to be a stay at home home, that's awesome. I
think that's amazing. But it's it's you know, it's not
for everybody, right, it's for some people and those stay
at home moms or stay at home dads. Yes, that
you're a bit. You're a fundamental reason. You're the reason
(35:01):
your child has whatever they have, right, I mean you're
there with them every day. You're making a difference. But
if you don't want to do it, if it's I
don't think you're a good I don't think you can
be a good one if you don't have the desire
to actually do it, and it doesn't mean you love
your kids any less or they're going to be less
supported in any way. But Scooba, I would encourage you
to talk to someone about it. He just did. He
(35:21):
talked to us, no, we're not experts, and talked to
his wife. She made a promise. I think he made
her promise. I think he made her make a promise, right,
and she tried it not really much of a try
a month. I mean, imagine if you had a kid
and you said, hey, I want you go try college
and they go for a month, it's not for me.
Would you be like, okay, cool, you know you gave
it a try, or would you be like, no, you
(35:43):
need pretty good sample size. Would just stick it out
for a semester? Can you can she do? Okay, make
a deal, okay, have her do a semester. Okay, semester? Yeah,
stay at home mom, Okay. No. I'm just using what
Lunchbox is saying and say, hey, look absolutely I understand
your desire to not be home all the time with
the kids. So what if you do it this time
(36:04):
for four months and after four or five months you
still are like, I don't think this is for me,
we can actually readdress that. Yeah, and I think you
leave the option open for both of you. She doesn't
feel like she's being painted into a corner or has
painted herself into a corner by saying this. Now, I
gotta live up to my promise. I promise that you
made her give anyway, honestly. Okay, and Amy brings up
a great point. You are holding her to your standard
(36:28):
because of your mom. Okay, Now, it would be a
great compromise if after a few months she still was
to stay at home mother, but to satisfy the need
of going to work, she works from home like part time.
But I think probably people that want to work, it's
more about getting a social getting out. Yeah, google out
and do stuff. No, no, no, just you. She sees
you all the time. Yeah, well no, I'm gonna here
(36:49):
a lot. But yeah, she'll get to see me more
maybe maybe. Okay, this is all I'm gonna say. Okay,
I love it that you guys are having these conversations
about your kids. That's great. Yeah. I think she promised
you initially only to go Okay, this will never happen,
or she gave it a try, and then she gave
it a shot and didn't like it. Yeah, Jane, I'll
like it this time either, buddy, Okay, Yeah, Like, I
just think that this needs more conversation with experts, and
(37:12):
you should open yourself up to therapy because I'll talked
about you the same time. Yeah, but instead of saying forever,
say let's try it for four or five months, making
a number and say, hey, let's readdress it then and
if you're just absolutely not happy, let's figure out how
to make you happy. Okay, Okay, that's good advice. Three.
I vote three months. I feel like four or five months. No, No,
(37:36):
a semester too long. She's not a holidays, an adult woman,
and she's like, I don't can't even believe we're having
to give her this. Okay, four months go by? I
said five four months? Okay, four months, that's a good
cover month sounds like a semester to me. Yes, all right, Scooba,
good light, buddy, thank you. Do you want to say
when you're having your next kid? Can you? Yeah? It's
January January. I think January sixth is the due date.
(37:57):
And she's already told her job she's leaving. Yeah, she's
leaving at the end of this month out and she cried,
she cried her he has a replacement. And then we
said last meeting. She cried, I didn't know. Yeah, good luck, buddy,
Thank you appreciate it. It's the best bits of the
week with Morgan. Number two, the awesome group A Little
(38:18):
Big Down stopped by the studio. They just dropped a
new album and talked about the different songs on it. Also,
one of the songs in particular, took them years to write.
And I say them, but it's actually just one of
the band members who has been working and writing the
song and finally he finished it and was ready to
put it on a record after everyone heard it. So
I encourage you to listen to this entire interview if
(38:40):
you want to watch and see them all laughing and
smiling sitting in the studio together. That's fun too. You
can check that out at Bobby Bones dot com. Number
two morning, everybody good. So do you guys know And
maybe it's gotten back to you that I can't say
the name of your song? Oh yeah, you don't cuss?
I remember this from Our Little Boy? Is that really
(39:06):
a curse word? Well, in context, if you said, yeah,
we're going to hell I would say no, because that's
a place theoretically, but right when it's a feeling. But
I used to not cuss either, but then life and
then we came along. But they say it's so forever,
(39:27):
we're going to do it. I'll say, hey, here's a
new little bigtown song. Hey, hell yeah, yeah? What if
you said what if you said what if you said
hell yeah? I would I would never say that hell yeah,
hell what have you been? Scottie mccurrey song, which is
like a ten year number one, I wouldn't say it.
He cut us a version of dang strait? What do
you think is going to happen if you say it? Well,
I really new business. Don't cuss, because then if you
(39:48):
get in the habit of cussing and then you mess
up on the radio. I think most people in my
business cuss a whole lot. But well, yes, yes, if
I write, because again I do clean comedy and write
kids books and I love that. Bobby, thank you got kids?
I say, hell, I know, but I don't want to
crutch it because I will. I used to curse, but
(40:08):
it'll always be a crutch for me. My kid says, hell, well,
I see, that's what Happens because of our songs. So
does mom. Yeah, the kids love this song. What what happens?
If you do say it, what's I'll break my streak
of like four years. Oh say it in songs, Mobby
and I completely understand. And if I was acting, I
(40:31):
was like, this is a role and you're going to
play the role of Fford guy. I'd be like, well, okay,
I gotta go, and so, what what's the next single?
F No, Yes, you'd have to say it the song.
The song is really good. The new album's out today.
Thank you. I just did. I just won't say the
(40:52):
name of us. Didn't hurt Scotty McCarry. If anything, it
helped him because we talked about it a bunch and
it became a little story. And so I'm protesting years
so long. It's anything for a story. I'm protesting it, actually,
and I think everyone should. You would you write it
on a billboard? Yeah? You know, I don't know what
you're talking about that, I don't know. I would just saying,
you know, if you want to advertiger song. So new
(41:15):
album out today. At this point, you guys have had
so much success over so many years, Like, how do
you even pick good songs anymore, Karen, Like, how do
you How are you picking the songs that you're doing now?
I mean, we're just writing, writing like crazy. And that's
why there's sixteen songs on the record, because you couldn't decide.
Everybody gets more lay there. Yeah, it's really hard to
(41:36):
narrow it down, you know. But um, I love this
record and hopefully everyone will love it, including hell Yeah. Yeah,
I just love the feeling of this record. It's like
a breath of fresh air. Yeah. I like track four.
Holy es, Wow, that's all my favorite. It's not true,
it's not true, it's not true. Just a record of
(41:58):
cussing titles. I think that's a good track. Seven Fu
let's do this because I like to know why mostly
the first in the last song when you do an album, right,
like why because those two songs are really the two
that you talk about the most. But we want to
start with what do we want to end with, Kimberly
why All Summer as the very first track. All Summer
(42:18):
was one of the first songs we recorded for the
record after COVID, when we finally got back together and
started getting in the studio with Masks one, which was
so weird. UM. So it's one of the first ones
we cut and it kind of set the tone for UM.
It's just fun and hopefulness and getting back together and
having a good time. So that's why we decided to
(42:41):
start the record the same way. Ray, can you play
a little bit of that for me? Here is track one.
This is awesome, it's easy and it's fun. You want
to dream between means good, it's fun. Start, it's like,
(43:02):
here we are, We're here to get Let's go to
the last track, Jimmy Friends of Mine, that's the last track.
Why Uh. This is a song that we wrote right
at the end while of the Nightfall record. We we
had a week with Foy Evans and I don't know
if you've ever met that dude, but he's just a
magical dude and we we've written some really great songs
(43:23):
with him, and this one UM felt like just even
you know, coming out of the past few years, there
there's just this encouragement for people, like, you know, things
are getting better. It's the same kind of thing we
were talking about with the beginning at the end, and
we thought it would be when we wrote it, we
(43:45):
felt like it was a good closer for a show.
Um almost like a thank you to the fans and
an encouragement, and it felt the same for the record,
so we ended with that. It's one of my favorite
things we've ever cut. Do We have a little bit
of Friends of Mine? Ray, every one news and you live.
Sometimes the wind blows the ray you rise. I see
(44:13):
cup Field with kinds racial glass, take a rich dres
of mind and sounds like in the church. Yeah, that's
kind of yeah. What's got a little gospel? You feel
in the whole production of it. We had some church
(44:34):
in the studio too. We wrote so much fun together. Yeah, Jimmy,
since you got the mic up, I want to talk
about rich Man for a second, because you wrote this
one by yourself. I think this is the only song
that was singularly written, and so why let me play
a little bit first. It's number nine Ray rich Man. Yeah,
my southing. I looking for particle that it was stuff
(44:58):
means to me keep my head up on the ground.
It's just that Sam Damn, I'm a bitch man. I
romanticize single, writes Jimmy, Where I imagine you wake up
(45:19):
at two in the morning and you've got something burden
in you, and you get a glass of milk. You
go onto the kitchen table and you you take out
a pen with a quill, a quill, and you grab
a notebook and you go and you just can't. It
all pours out of you. And then you walk into
your bedroom. Your guest room's got a little studio, and
(45:41):
you record it and you take it to the guys
and you never go to sleep that night. And you
go guys that wrote this song called rich Man, you
play it for and they all cry, and then they
all decide to record it. And that, to me is
how how accurate is that? It's exactly how it happens.
It's that story spread over ten years many night. I
actually started writing that song, I think probably around two
(46:05):
thousand and nine, and it was one of those that
I don't know, I just couldn't ever settle on that
it was finished. It wasn't right, And it was It's
one that whenever I would sit down at home by
myself and with a glass of milk, that it would
always come back around. So it's just kind of hung around.
(46:28):
And I finally finished it about a year ago and
we were at a Karen and I were at a
friend's house. There were a couple of friends over and
one of them was like, hey, play me something I
haven't heard before. And the record is done, by the
way at this point, and so I played it for
him and their reaction was so genuine and emotional that
(46:52):
Karen and I looked at each other like, well, maybe
we should cut one more song. So so we went
in three days later and cut the track and it's
on the record. It was never really going to be
until it was pretty much nailed the emotional part though,
didn't They don't cry? Yes, it was all there, spread
out a little longer. That's right. When you when we
(47:14):
sat down and you said you can't say our song,
I thought it was it's thought of a rich man.
I was like, you can't call yourself rich? I thought.
I was thinking that's a secret. Yeah I anyway, So yeah,
so yes, when Taylor put out better Man from the
(47:36):
Vault right right, because you know, you guys put out
the song was massive song and it was like, Wow,
Taylor wrote it and got it to you guys. But
then she puts it out herself. Is that cool to
you guys? You liked it? Yeah? I mean, yeah, of course,
I mean her fans. You know, she has an army,
as we all know of fans, and you know, there
were some that were like, we don't want to hear
(47:58):
Karen sing this anymore, know, Yeah, but we don't care.
I mean, it's it's incredible. The whole story of that
journey of that song and to hear her version is
I mean we got to hear it years ago, you know,
and um, yeah, I think it was. It was really cool.
What's the hardest little big town song to sing? Better Man?
(48:21):
Better Man's pretty hard? Yeah, that man's hard. Um where
where if you're not feeling just right, you might not
sing it that night because somebody like, what's vocally the
most challenging for the group to do? We have a
few of those for me when someone stops loving he
was really hard. Yeah, you got to be really accurate. Yeah, yeah,
you're very exposed on that. I mean, we all have
(48:42):
a kind of a different one, and so you know,
most of the time we just sing him anyway, just
let it out. Just do you ever watch back and
clip and go two things. One, Wow, we are really good,
like on Instagram, so I tags you and then holy crap,
that was not good. Like both of those. When someone
(49:02):
records from the crowds coming in but still liked you
ever hear yourself, ag, we are awesome? Yes, yes, ever
do that I have? Yes, I mean but because you
are well, thank you, thank you, But we have good nights. Yeah.
But then yeah, I just heard something the other day
and I was like, crap, yeah, and it was like
(49:25):
there was so much low end from the fans phone
that you couldn't really hear, like with the center of pitch,
you know what I mean. It's like you said, it's
like not really your true reading. That's what I say
to and I hear me back. I'm like, there's cans
none of it. They're not laughing at all. That must
be some issue with the recording of the crowd When
(49:46):
what's the easiest, most fun song for you guys to
sing where it doesn't matter if you're sick or not,
Like if you got one that you know you can
nail all the time, what is it? Always says yeah,
because we really don't have to sing it. We can
just go o yeah, yeah, pontoons that way. Yeah. What's
the last performance you guys had where you were nervous
(50:08):
at the result, meaning all right, we're going to do
this either big show or big appearance, and let's hope
after we're done people blank like like you or the crowd.
I don't know what was the last like big performance.
We were nervous. We were in Dublin, Ireland opening for
the Eagles and it was rainy in the stage was slick,
and I think I was That was the most nervous
I had been in a long time. The crowd didn't
know us, and we were just like, oh, that's unfamiliar. Huh,
(50:32):
it's really hard. It was. It was daylight and you're like, well,
there's no tricks, there's no spotlights, there's no smoke. You know,
it's like just got to get out there and earn
our way. Mind you're the early artist days, everyone on
the daytime on the festival. Yeah. Yeah, it was fun, though.
I got super nervous at the ACM Honors because he
was Yeah, I'll say that too. We were singing house
(50:54):
that Built Me for Miranda, you don't want to miss
that song? Well no, and she's like one of our
best friends and she's sitting on the front row and
along with a lot of really famous Yeah, and I
don't know, I just got like very okay, me too.
I'm singing. I would say that's my last time where
I was like, and you think about Alan Chamblin and
(51:14):
Tom Douglas hearing their song. Um, but yeah, I got
a little a little nervous. The record is out, all
sixteen tracks, almost a double album. Have a double album.
We had to cut it down. We had a whittled
down to sixteen. It is called Mister Sun. It is
out now. It I think I've heard probably nine of
(51:35):
the sixteen, which I think for me, it's pretty good.
I'll be honest with you, I mean long expect yeah,
longer the days where I'm listening to anything. I'll be
honest with you. But I did try to get to all.
I guess I didn't have all the tracks because I
got at one of those versions where it's like here's
band's early new music, and then I think I had
to go to the bathroom or something, and I refused
(51:55):
to take you guys into the bathroom with me. I
respect that, we really appreciate. Yes, I listened to it all.
I was like working and then had to go to
the bathroom and how to take a long time, So
I didn't finish it more Taco bell for you, Bobby
Bones taking the shots, guys, take the shots. I'm not
saying a world. One day I'll be like you guys
and be cool. So when when I am a little
(52:17):
Big Town's new record, it's out now, mister Sun, you
guys go get it. It is it is. I can
tell you eight of the tracks are wonderful. Come on,
all right, you guys, go stream it. It's there now.
Thank you guys for coming in. Always good to see

(52:39):
Morgan number two and coming in at the number one spot.
This week, the show found out we were nominated for
a CUMA Award for this year's awards ceremony, and we
are so excited, y'all. We couldn't do it without you, guys,
the listeners who support it, who share the show with
their friends and family, who engage with things online, who
(52:59):
call in to the show. So it's a team effort
over here with you all included, and we couldn't be
nominated for that award without you all. But we're super
stoked around here. And this is just a big congratulations
to my fellows show members, as well as a big
shout out to all of you for supporting us and
loving what we do. We couldn't do it without you, guys.
So yeah, this had to be in the number one
(53:20):
spot because we love y'all. Number one CMA Awards, it's
the big award show. They had the nominations. Here you go,
a Single of the Year. Tell me which of these
songs you liked the best and that should win the award.
By Dirt from Jordan Davis and Luke Bryan. Final When
you Can't Live with the Half of My Hometown from
Kelsey Ballerinia and Kenny Chesney. Never wanted to be that girl,
(53:46):
Carly Pearce and Ashley McBride. I never wanted to be
that Until you Can't. Cody Johnson good, very good, while
you got and you should probably leave. Chris Stapleton, you
should probably Yeah, well, yeah, they're all good. So write
(54:09):
your answer down and you know, if we were picking,
just buy our votes alone, all right, I'm in everybody
in Yeah, all right, Amy, who do you have? Cody Johnson?
He meaning running Roll, that's not the name of the song, Okay,
lunchbox Cody Johnson, Till you can't, Eddie, you should probably
leave Chris Stapleton's jam I have by Dirt, But that
(54:31):
makes Cody Johnson whoa Okay, well he doesn't really get
an award for that. But this is a category I
made up best songs. You only know the song title
in the lyrics. For example, if I were to say,
(54:52):
Beer's on me, how much that song can you actually sing?
Come on and stay on? Now everybody's got a little
something wrong, so none, so none? Actually, Eddie, what can
you do? Nothing? Dude? I don't even have the melody
that song? I could do? Good beers on me? All right,
that's the first out hit. Go hit that small swing back, Eddie?
(55:18):
Can you do? Freedom was a highway? Yeah? If Freedom
wasn't exactly exactly, that's my point. You only know that, yeah,
Jimmy Ellen of Brad Paisley Living for Friday Cream and
then the other nominees Gabby Barrett, the Good Ones, Amy,
how much of that can you sing? And one of
(55:38):
the good one exactly? Yeah, yeah, exactly. And since this
is a real I'm just gonna go ahead and pick
Jimmy and Brad Paisley the winnerds Freedom was a Highway
with somebody young living full of Friday. Yeah, all right,
(56:00):
this is a real one Entertainer of the Year. Luke Combs,
Miranda Lambert, Chris Stay Bolton, Kerry Underwood and Morgan Wallen.
Oh like this. If they're being legitimate, it has to
be Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen. It just has to be.
And unless there's something going on, who you know they
could get? Who knows the Luke and Morgan Wallen the
(56:22):
only two that really should have a chance to win
this thing. Uh, Okay, go ahead, I go Luke Combs, Amy,
Luke Combs, Eddie Man, Morgan Wong. When he came to town,
that was the hottest ticket ever. So you got to
give that to Morgan w lunchbox Luke Combs. Yeah, just
because I Luke played stadiums. I mean he canceled a show,
(56:43):
sort of still played, gave his best, but refunded every
money because his throat. Yeah he didn't play though, because
the entertainer played. He didn't. He did play, I'm saying,
but he didn't sink because his throat. That's like, that's
that's entertainer. Okay, that's entertaining. Okay, So then let's do
a couple of the fake categories. Uh, Best songs that
(57:04):
Bobby will not say the title too. Oh, I know
one all right, that one from Scottie McCreary that's called
what am damn straight? Correct? Damn. There's one from Eric Church.
Eddie you know this one? Hell yeah close? What is it?
I don't know? It's about a view? Oh hell have you?
Hell yeah? And then Little Big Town Eddie, do you
(57:28):
know their new one? You just said it for Eric Church?
Hell yeah, yeah, really yeah, all right in the winter
is Scottie McCarry there you good has all right? The
new category, the fake category, most overplayed song on the radio,
Oh Man, Walker Hayes, fancy like yeah fancy on this
(57:51):
day night, Dustin Lynch and McKenzie Porter thinking about you
or Jason? I didn't carry under what if I didn't
love you? If I did? So it's a fake category,
but we're gonna vote. We made it up ourselves. Most
overplayed all right you guys, good got written down lunchbox
(58:14):
fancy like Eddie, Yeah I didn't love you, dude. I
heard that all the time. Dude me too. When I
started again, I was like, oh, like just there and
it's a good song. But we heard it so much
as soon as Ray played that clip that came on again. Amy, yep,
if I didn't love you, dear God save us. There's
(58:34):
a good song. The first ten thousand times final category,
A number one song you forgot was ever at number one,
meaning it just kind of came and went, and if
it's played, you go, oh, yeah, I remember that. But uh,
Michael Ray Whiskey and Rain. When you hear it again,
you're remember and go oh that was good. You also
forget it's Michael Ray. Yeah, yeah, that's that's the problem. Yeah, Parmelie,
(58:58):
take my names Sagan or Lee Brice. Memory I don't
mess with. That's some memory. I don't, girl. Those songs
came and went, why your jam? I mean they're all good,
But Amy, say what you mean? I mean, which say?
(59:18):
Go ahead back too. I like them all, but the
first two I really enjoyed. And it's sad they weren't
here longer. Okay, So the number one song you forgot
was the number one, Amy, yours is gonna be Lee Bryce. No,
it's gonna be Whiskey and Rain. I forgot. Don't think
you understand the category? Well, I guess I don't, Eddie. Yeah,
Michael Ray dude, my boy. I mean, yeah, that's that's
that's my dude. And it's happens to me when all
(59:39):
of his songs, like that's Michael Reagan. Oh yeah that
was good. But I don't think you guys get the count. Yeah,
they don't get the category. Let's you can decide the
whole winner. Here, go ahead, it's Lee Bryce. You had
no idea. Yeah, that's the point there, and Amy said it,
and then she goes and I go, Michael Ray, and
then Edie goes, my boy, Michael Ray. I think it's
just how you look at it, you know, Eddie and
(01:00:01):
I look think differently. Okay, okay, Well, congratulations to everybody
who was nominated for CMA and that's it. We were
nominated for show, which is cool. And we made sure
that everybody's name, including the building cleaners, the people that
come and fix our equipment, people we wave out on
the street, they were all listed. I mean I saw
(01:00:22):
the names and I was like, what are we doing? Well,
we don't want any controversy here and why not? Why not?
So it was like Bobby, Amy, Eddie, Lunchbox, Scuba, Steve,
Mike d Abbey, you know, Juan Carlos. It was everybody
the same effort. Yeah yeah, um, so yeah, we'll see
(01:00:43):
if we win it. If we don't win, like, we're
not happy about it, all right? That it. Yeah, I
need to go check out the list you were on there.

conversations and questions that I like to have answered. And

there was even a question I asked Ray on the
Best Bits this weekend that he played the fifth two

on Live, so be sure to check that out while
