Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the best Bits of the week with Morgan number two.
What's up, y'all, it's the best bits Morgan here. This
is just the bits you heard best Bits Part one,
the scoop of Steve. But this is just the bits
where I will intro them and you can hear them
back in case you missed them this week, or maybe
you just want to listen again, whatever you like, that's
what this is here for. So we are diving in.

(00:22):
Anna Kendrick came on the show for the first time
and she talked about her brand new movie. But she
also shared that she doesn't like to watch her own
movies in public, and I thought that was super interesting
and she just seems like a really awesome person. So
here's the interview with Bobby and Anna Kendrick number seven
on The Bobby Bones Show. Now, Anna Kendrick, Anna, how
Bobby you can see you? How are you hey? Doing

(00:44):
pretty good? I have a couple questions for you. When
I heard what we're going to talk and I was
reading about this movie how and I because this is
such a dramatic role, do you have to go in
that morning already preparing to be sad or angry or
hurt because you know, I come in, I do the
show for five hours, and I got to come in

(01:05):
with some sort of mindset when you're playing a role
like this, is it different? Yeah, I mean it's it's funny.
I do think like the idea of coming into work
and being like, man, I gotta be sad today is
is like a kind of hilarious and perfect way to
think about it. But yeah, I think that there were
there were some scenes that I was a little bit

(01:28):
like you have to ramp yourself into it, you know.
It's also it's a weird thing because you are at work,
you know, Like I think that there's a myth around
film sets as these perfect artistic bubbles, but they are
like just an outdoor office at the end of the day.
So it's a really bizarre thing to like go to
work at the office and you know, be like good morning,

(01:51):
good morning, Oh how are you, how is your weekend?
And then be like, oh, I have to have a
full blown panic attack in like half an hour, and
I have to do that all day. So it's definitely
a strange thing. But um, I actually I remember Mary
the director, at one point, pulling me aside before we
started filming and being like, just so you know, if

(02:11):
there's ever a moment where you know, things feel like
too intense for you and you need to step off
set for a while, like just always let me know.
And uh. And I was like, oh, that's so sweet.
I don't I'm not really that kind of actor where it,
you know, kind of gets away from me. But this
was probably the closest to that, you know, because this is, um,

(02:32):
this film's very personal to me, and so I think
that I knew that like living in that and bringing
up some of those experiences in my body again would
be tricky. It was exciting, and I also felt like
the crew was so sensitive to the process because everybody

(02:56):
that came to work on the movie kind of came
to work on it because they read the script and
they had had a similar experience, so they were really understanding.
And I felt very held by the crew, if that
makes sense, and that that made it a lot easier.
You know, when when you feel safe like that, it's

(03:19):
a lot easier to kind of like get into that mindset.
You know, you don't have to like push for it.
It like has permission to come up. Sorry, I'm being
very Uh, I'm doing a lot of like actors speak,
which I which is annoying, but um, you know that
that's how I felt about it. I guess if you're
crying in a scene that's very emotional, it could be
either Alice Darling or anything else you're doing. If it's

(03:41):
very emotional and they go all right, cut, can you
just go all right, give me a Canoli and I'll
take a mountain dew? Or again, does it take a
little bit of time to come out of that because
you have dedicated yourself? Oh my god? Well, first of all,
I feel like a Canolian a mountain dew is going
to be the order for sure. That's so specific? Is that?
Is that a combination that you're fond of? Sir? I know,

(04:01):
it just was me going, what sounds fun? What sounds
the opposite of crying? A Conolian mountain dew? It just
came out, Yeah, that, Yeah, that is the opposite of crying.
I mean, yeah, I am pretty much like the Conolean
the mountain dew or I am now now that I
know that specifically, I should order that that's what's coming.
But I think it depends on if you're if you're

(04:22):
like about to roll into the next one. You know,
you might just kind of like keep your head down
and stay in the space. But yeah, like once you've
moved on from the scene. Also, you're so elated to
just be done with it, to be like sort of
done being in that space that you do get this
like adrenaline afterglow thing. You know that like the hard

(04:43):
part of the day is over and now all I
have to do is like walk down a hallway. It's yeah,
that's the best feeling. You're very polite, although you did
call me sir. Do I look like I'm sixty or something?
And I just I'm just I'm now I'm self conscious
of it. Well because I called you sir, Yeah, like
I'm really sixty. Yeah, do I like sixty or something?
But oh, I was I was trying to be adorable, sir. Oh,

(05:04):
but now I've made your self conscious. I was like, oh, no,
you think some old man. Okay, ma'am gotta quite maam. Yeah,
you can call me maam. Love it now. I'm a
big fan. You're hilarious. You're also able to be extremely
emotional when you're a kid and you're learning range, Like,

(05:24):
at what age do you start to learn actual emotional range.
Do you do it at seven, eight, nine years old
or is that something you get to do later in life.
As a kid, I was more in tune with like
other people's of feelings, So it was like reading people
was kind of the move when I was a kid,

(05:44):
and uh, but I was definitely good at figuring out
like what people kind of wanted, you know, and uh
and being like the kind of apple polisher if you will.
Uh So, Uh, it is actually been an interesting few
years for me because especially after you know, being in

(06:07):
this really horrible relationship and uh, you know, things kind
of falling apart, it felt like, oh, maybe it's time
to sort of investigate what's going on in this direction?
The range thing. I don't I don't feel like I'm
not really answering your question, but I don't feel like
I had like a lot of authentic range when I

(06:28):
was like seven or eighte But I definitely knew, like
if I was in like a school play or something,
I definitely knew what people wanted me to do, and
I could sort of like fake it and like getting
to a place where it's, uh, you're you're kind of
safe enough and comfortable enough to like, oh, God, I'm
really trying hard not to use phrases like go to

(06:50):
that place because it's such like actor speak. It sounds
so horrible and corny. But um, but that's been really again,
like challenging but really rewarding. Um. Anna Kendrick is on
with us right now. Do you can you when you
watch the movie back? First, the quick question is will
you watch it all the way back in a theater
that's not like a premiere? Will you just go and

(07:10):
watch it like out in theater? Yeah, I've ever done that. Um. Yeah,
people talk about doing stuff like that. I've never done that.
I think I'm in the way that, Like I don't
throw myself birthday parties because it's like, oh god, what
if nobody shows up? Like the idea of going to
a theater where something's playing and being empty is just
too heartbreaking. So um, I don't think I've ever done that.

(07:32):
But I did watch this movie in like a screening
room before it premiered, but I was sort of it
was more worky. It was like, you know, making changes
to the edit and stuff. But I watching it at
the at the premiere at the Toronto Film Festival was
was really fun because like hearing the audience fully gasp,

(07:55):
like hundreds and hundreds of people just like gasping at
these things that are so small and intimate, and you're
worried that this is such a small story that it
won't evoke enough of an emotional reaction. Was really exciting. Oh,
we have sixty seconds. I want to run through it.
Just give me a quick answer on these Who is
the coolest person who watches your story on Instagram? Oh,
my gosh, who follows me on Instagram? Oh? Well, I

(08:19):
know that Pete Holmes just followed me on Instagram, so
maybe you watch the story. Your favorite movie as a
kid as a little kid was hocus Pocus, and then
by the time I was twelve, it was The Women,
Why the forty seven and Anna Kendrick forty seven because
one time somebody called me Ak forty seven and it's
a nickname much cooler than I deserve. And the final question,
who is an actor that you didn't know before that

(08:40):
you worked with and you thought they were so funny
that you couldn't get enough of them just being hilarious. Well,
I just worked with Tony Hale and everybody already knows
he's hilarious. But I would just like to let the
world know he's just that funny in person as well.
And you're awesome. Thank you. We can't wait to see
the movie and I hope it sells so many tickets
and I hope the story resonates with so many people.

(09:00):
And thank you very much. It's a big fan. Thank
you very much, sir, Thank you man. Bye. It's the
best Bits of the week with Morgan. Number two, Amy's
son has his own radio show, The Stevenson Show, And
I should say that lightly. It's not like a full
blown radio show, but he likes to record things and
Amy brings it in for us to hear, and they
are so funny, and this one is no exception. He

(09:23):
was sharing hygiene advice and he has a very catchy
phrase that he quoted said, I'm not really sure I
think it's his own. So basically, if you use this
quote moving forward, it is a Stevenson original. And I
hope you enjoyed this as much as we did. Number six,
Amy's son, Stevenson, now does a mini version of a
radio show. It's called The Stevenson Show Stevenson Radio Show. Hi,

(09:50):
it's Stevenson Today. We're talking about hygiene and smelling good.
Always remember to bush your teeth, take a shower, put
your door on, and don't forget to splat on some cologne.
One skirt make the Girl flirt Stevenson Radio show, One

(10:11):
square makes a Girl flat. That's nice. He got cologne
for Christmas, so that was the inspiration behind that episode.
And when he got the cologne, that's what he said.
One skirt makes a girl flirt. Yeah, that's all him. Wow,
it's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

(10:33):
This week was the iconic Dolly Parton's birthday, and for
her birthday, in honor of that, we decided to share
sometimes she's been on the show and some stories that
she shared with us, and all of them are so
good and if you haven't heard these, this is my
favorite because she talked a lot about how she wrote
two of her hit songs on one day, how she
didn't know what was going to happen with I Will
Always Love You, and just there's a lot of cool

(10:55):
stuff about Dolly partnering here that you may have missed
before when she was on over the course of like
the last I don't know seven years. So here's the
interviews with Dolly Parton, but more importantly, we are celebrating
the queen. It's basically Dolly parton birthday month. So here
it is Happy Birthday again Dolly Parton number five, Dolly
Parton's birthday today. Dolly is timeless. I don't think I

(11:16):
would know how old she was unless it was in
front of me, because she seems fifty and ninety at
the same time. Yeah, like, she seems like she's been
around forever, but she also has the spunk still that
I'm like, maybe I'm guessing too old. How old do
you think Dolly is? Amy? Oh, man, I know timeless.
Dolly's timeless, right, So I'll go with eighty Eddie seventy

(11:39):
five lunchbox. I talked about this my wife the other nine,
and I said, seventy three. She has to be seventy
three years old. She's seventy seven. Oh oh, Happy birthday,
Dolly Parton. Dolly Rebecca Parton was born in January nineteenth,
nineteen forty six, and a one room cabin on the
banks of the Little Pigeon River in Pittman Center, Tennessee.
What do you think Dolly's number one streaming song is

(11:59):
of all time? Amy I Will Always Love You. That
comes in at number four from nineteen seventy four. I
Will Always Love You, a song she wrote recorded, did
not know Whitney had recorded it really until she was
driving in her car and heard it come on the radio. Awesome.
She told us that story here on this show Lunchbox.
Dolly's biggest most streaming song. There's only two options here

(12:22):
and the number one song is Islands in the Stream.
Islands in the Stream Number three nineteen eighty two with
Kenny Rogers also was a pop song, Pick the Wrong
It was so big, Eddie. There are two songs still, Yeah,
Dolly's birthday. What is her biggest streaming song? Bones? I
believe it's going to be Let's go Joelene Number two

(12:44):
joel That's crazy you guys did that nineteen seventy four.
Joelene her number one streaming song forever all time nineteen
eighty nine to five. The one on Top five we
didn't get to is here You Come Again. Come. So

(13:09):
here are some things we learned about Dolly over the
years and our interviews with her or Top five. Here
at number five, we talked to Dolly and she revealed
to us what she requires on her tour bus. Here
you go. They usually just I just need water or
like fruit, like a fruit plate, like cheese and fruit.
But that's more for people that come in and out.
For myself, I just have mostly what I want on

(13:29):
my bus anyway. At number four, Dolly told us she
will write songs everywhere, and sometimes they'll come to her
in a dream. If I'm taking a bath, I always
got either a little tape recorder or something where none
wonder if we get that lie, And I'll sometimes dream
song really wake up and say, you better write it down,
because I used to think i'd remember, but you don't,
so it's best to do, you know, to write it. Then.

(13:51):
Number three, Dolly told us she doesn't like to fly.
If it's absolutely possible, she travels by bus. I don't
like to fly. I get motion sickness. I don't like
that helpless feeling that I can't get out if I
want to. I traveled by my bus when I can,
and when I do fly, will usually fly private jet.
It's really hard doing commercial anymore, just of course it's
so such a zoo. I just take my bus any

(14:11):
time I can. Dolly talked about writing Joelene and I
Will Always Love You on the same exact day in
nineteen seventy two. I think I wrote it at the
same time I wrote Joline. It was a good writing day, Yeah,
I believe. So it was writing that writing period of
time because I remember all my paperwork and like they

(14:31):
came out pretty close, you know, at the same time.
So everybody said, boy, you what was you taking? That
was a good That was a good writing day. And
this was what I was talking about earlier. So Dolly was,
you know, super popular with I'll Always Love You from
nineteen seventy four, and they had reached out and said, hey,
coquin Us, I Will Always love you for the movie
The Bodyguard, and she goes yes, but they shared nothing
about it. That was just it. She just said yes

(14:53):
and away they went, and then boom. So I sent
it and I hadn't heard anything more about it until
I heard it. Going driving from my office to my
house in Brentwood. I just heard Whitney saying if I
didn't the acapella part, and it was just it wasn't ringing,
traffic was weird. And it was only when she went
into the course of it that I always lovely that

(15:14):
I realized what I was listening to, and it was
so overwhelming I almost rent And I have to honestly
say that it's one of the biggest thrills and one
of the most overwhelming feelings I've ever had about anything
in my life. So cool. It's so cool that Dolly
comes in about once a year and we just get
to sit down and do this, and every year we
celebrated birthday by talking about the coolest things about her.

(15:35):
But she it's like her. I can list them on
one hand, basically Reba Garth, maybe just those three where
you meet them and you go, oh, I can't describe it,
but it makes sense. They're massive superstars. Yeah, obviously have
to be talented, but it's how they communicate. It's how

(15:55):
warm they are, it's how approachable they are while still
being a superstar. And Dolly's the best. It's awesome. It's
been super cool to get to know Dolly over the years.
Happy Birthday, Dolly seventy seven. Today it's the best Bits
of the week with Morgan number two. It finally happened.
Lunchbox got his roof repaired, and I know that his

(16:18):
wife and his kids are so excited that they have
their normal house and they're normal heating back again, so
this is very exciting. Lunchbox shared the news. He kind
of dropped the bomb on us, like, I don't know
where does oh? By the way, so here he has
given us an update on the roof number four. This
is from Javier in Austin, Texas. I just wanted to
see eighty updates on lunchboxes claim roof situation. Also, I

(16:42):
wanted to say that Lunchbox is the Bend Stiller of
iHeart Radio and I love his cringe moments. I can't
stop watching him. Thank you. All I do is when
he loves you. He loves to cringe. Great call. Yeah,
and I cringe too, but it's in the best way.
Like I think it's a positive cringe. People. A lot
of people attack you. I like people love you. It's

(17:02):
you're very polarizing, but what you do is awesome for
the show, right everybody. Yeah, And as much as we fight,
if we actually didn't like if a Letchbox and Eddie
didn't actually like each other, neither one of them would
be or one. I would kill one of them or
fire one of them because we can't keep that. But
it would be Eddie because I've been absolutely well, yeah
I'm more important, Okay, you sure, But so it's all

(17:26):
even when we fight, it's all like genuine like friendship,
and we do not get along sometimes, even Eddie, I
don't even Amy and I I don't get long sometimes. So
everybody that's like, man, what do you keep him on
the show? I hate him. I get it. But he
actually fills that role pretty good. I mean he creates
the role. It's the cringe role. What do you want
to say to that crunchy I'd like to say that
my roof is fixed? It is, yeah, all the way

(17:49):
breaking news. Yeah we didn't know this well. I mean
I told you I had a yeah, but he didn't
tell this was done well over the over the break
go ahead. So I brought roofers out. I brought three
or four roofers out, got different estimates because Amy always says,
don't go with the first one, and they fixed my roof.
She hadn't say don't go with the first one. She says,
don't only listen to one, like get a second, go

(18:13):
with the first one. Oh my god. Okay, Well I
had three or four come out, got some estiments, and
boom picked one and it took about two weeks. But
no holes in the roof. They're shingles on the roof.
And let me tell you, it's kind of toasty in
my house now because the heat actually works. Yeah. So

(18:33):
which one did you go with? One? Two, three or four?
I was number two? So did number two give a
better deal than number one? Or did it? Does not
go with number one? No? Number two just was cheaper
and do better job. I don't know if they're doing
it better. How would I know when because I didn't
have number one to do a job. They were like,
it doesn't matter, thank you. I'm glad their quote was cheaper.
So guess what I didn't have to spend all the
insurance money? Oh boy, hey, I don't. Let's just say, hey,

(19:02):
thank a little two k in my pocket. Two ko, okay,
I have nothing to do with this. It's the best
bits of the week with Morgan number two. You all
love hearing about the kids of the show members, and
it's really fun on this one because Eddie shared a
story about a basketball hoop getting broken at his house,

(19:24):
and Amy also shared a story about her kids fighting
over food. So a lot of parents stories and a
lot of things going on in the households. And if
you listen to the Best Bits part one, you just
heard how Scuba Steve has a new kid. They welcomed
a brand new baby girl in New Year's e Newyar's
Day around that timeframe. But you can hear all those
details on there if you want to check that out
as well. But for right now, this is Eddie and

(19:45):
Amy sharing some kids stories. Number three. Let's start with
Eddie the dad. He's got four kids. He's always bringing
a story of being a dad of four boys, which
is there's five men, five boys, one woman. It's terrible.
I'll be terrible for her for sure, Eddie. What's your
latest story, guys, I need your help is a bad one.

(20:08):
So our neighborhood, we have about ten kids in there,
and and they sometimes we go to other people's houses.
Sometimes they come to our house as well. I look
in my backyard. There's ten kids back there, the whole
neighborhoods back there. And we have a little basketball hoop
and one of the kids I see goes for a
slam dunk. He pulls the whole thing. The hoops snaps
like from the base snaps, and they're all like O,

(20:30):
I walk up there and like what happened? And they're like, oh,
so and so broke the basketball hoop and he goes, sir, sir,
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I will give you
five dollars, fifty dollars. I have fifty dollars in my
wall right now. Just don't tell my parents, please, And
I'm like scratching my head. What do I do? So, okay,
you can't either take the money, you can tell the parents.

(20:52):
You can do nothing, but then you're out of basketball hoop?
How old would you say? This boy is just a rando? Yes,
estimate the gu estimation, and I would say he's ten,
maybe eleven? So what do you you didn't you haven't done.
He hadn't made your mind up yet. No, I just said,
everyone out, everyone out, get out of my backyard, lunch box,
what would you do? I take that money and say

(21:15):
you gotta be a little jitler on the goal and
this is a learning lesson, learning lesson, and don't tell
your parents. I'm gonna go do you first say that first?
We'll go right to that as a good answer, lunch box,
Oh no, do you take the money? Listen, the kid
has to learn. When you break something, you break it,
you buy it. You go to an antique store, you
break it, you bright buy it. They have signs all over.

(21:35):
And so he came into your house, he broke your antique,
he pays for it. So you want to take money
from a ten year old, and that's cool. Hey, a
ten year old wants a toy, they gotta pay for it, right,
You called the parent and say, hey, I'm gonna take
the money from the ten year old. No, you just
don't tell the parents. That's what he said. Don't tell
my parents. Yeah that you don't want to get him
in trouble. It's just weird if he ends up telling

(21:56):
his head. Yeah, mister Eddie took fifty dollars from me,
and then they'll come knock on your doorback, why did
you take my son's money? Well, he broke my basketball goal. Sorry, Amy, No,
I'm not taking the money at all. I'm either just
taking it on as my responsibility because it's my goal
and I had kids over playing. But did you have
kids over playing, Well, they would just made their way
back there. That's my point. They came over to his

(22:17):
yard and didn't broke it. Okay, Oh, well true, Okay,
well I'm probably still just gonna take the pitch. What
was this hard? I guess I didn't end up talking
to the parents, but also not to make them pay
for it. But hey, if your kids talk to your
kids about just asking before they come over and play

(22:38):
with stuff. So no money, yeah, no money, No money,
especially from a kid. I don't wonder you could always
call the parent and trying to get the money. No,
I don't even want to do that. That's what my
wife wants to do. Oh oh, that's her option. Her options, like,
I want to talk to the parents and ask them
to pay for the goal. You can't just take money
from a kid. I think that is a general rule.
You can't. You can't say no to that one. Yeah,

(22:59):
you have to. And I don't know that you call
the parents because they didn't do anything illegal and they
were just your kids probably said come over it like
your kids are an extension of you. Yes, I'm responsible
for them and their actions. I think you have to
just be responsible for the broken goal, but you can
also make your kids responsible because they didn't invite kids

(23:20):
over without permission and go, well, the goals broken. And
if you guys want another one. You're gonna need to
do X, Y and Z to raise make the money
to get a goal back. I think I go knock
on that kid. Take that fifty dollars in the kid.
That's how you earn it. Now, the learning lesson is
with your kids, not the kid who broke it. Okay,
but I wouldn't buy him another goal until they do
enough work to make up the money for that goal.

(23:41):
So let's say I had these kids over to friend's
house and breaks the window. No money, the other kid
has to pay for it. I would say that's a
little different because the kid was playing basketball. He just
dunked it hard, which is a basketball move. Yes, it's
a dunk. People do that, Yes, And a window is
a complete either accident or being irresponsible. This feels like
it was just hard basketball, So difference. But even then,

(24:04):
I don't know that. But this situation only you don't
take the money from a kid because all of a
sudden you're the guy that took the money from the kid. Well,
I didn't take the money from the kids, so I
think that's too late for that. What am I gonna do?
Go find them down the street. We'll like, hey, come over, here,
where's my fifty bucks? Right? Look, that's real bad. Up
pull up in the car and be like, hey, kick,
come over here, holdsome candy out the door. They're like, hey, kid,
come here, I candy for you fifty No, So I

(24:27):
don't think you tell the parents they were invited over
by your kids. Okay. I think it's your kids who
are the ones who have to suffer for this and
if they want a new goal, they have to raise
the fifty bucks. How much it really costs? Oh, it's
probably about two hundred dollars. Yeah, it's maybe one hundred
and fifty. I have to price it. Oh yeah, that stinks. Okay, well,
I'm sorry that happened to you. Don't take anything from
a kid. Yeah, don't do that, Eddie the dad Amy,

(24:53):
you have two kids. What's happening with your kids? Well,
now we're labeling food like they own this fridge and
the their college roommates or they have they put their
name on their own special foods. Right, but do they
buy the food? No? I buy the food. But it's
like now they're territorial over who technically likes the food more,
and so it runs out faster if the other one

(25:14):
indulges in it. I mean, so we're starting to label
food and I started that between those two. Well, I
think it all started with milk, different types of milk.
But who was the kid who came up with that
idea first? Oh, Stashira because he Stevenson drinks too much
of her milk. Yeah, well yeah, it's it all. Yes,

(25:36):
it started with milk, but it moved to other categories
like nutella. So stuff in the pantry is also affective.
Do you open the door and just say, Steve, you're
on everything? And then so Shiara has also started to
just move food to her room because you know, hilarious.
I got her a mini fridge and well she got
it one for her birthday, you know, a year or
two ago. And so now she's starting to store things

(25:58):
in there. And what are you doing this situation? How
how do you as a mom? I remove the labels
and say, hey, no, and where's all the grapes I
just bought? Like they're up stairs? So I mean, because
I'm eating this stuff too, So I just set the
record straight of like who's really buying this stuff? And
we can all share and guess what if we run out,
we put it on the grocery list for next week

(26:19):
and be grateful for that. Yeah, and if they want
to buy stuff themselves, it's a different story. I think
you can label if they spend their own money. Yeah,
Like sometimes I make them from their own money on
talkie and Fanta. That's their talkie and Phanta then, right,
And I think that's a good lesson. But then they
still have to ask permission to eat it. Yeah, they
buy it, then ask permission so they because listen, they'll
no'll eat it is well because they get stomach aches

(26:43):
from it. And then but then they'll eat it and
they'll now they know what they're doing. They're like, it's okay,
I have time tomorrow to pay for it, Like I
need that. I do that with my wife and I'm like,
it's okay, I can eat the candy. IBB. I don't
have to work tomorrow. Yes, Saturday, I do that crap
all the time. Yes, Like actually I have a half
day at school. We're good. She's like, you know you're
gonna get sick from eating, my wife. You know you're
gonna get sick because you're eating all this. And it's like, yeah,

(27:04):
I don't have to work tomorrow. She's like, is that
seriously your answer? I'm like, yeah, if I'm in pain,
I'll just lay in the bed. Yeah, I felt them. Okay,
I like it though, I like that she is no, okay,
never mind, I hate it. I hate it. Okay. Well,
thank you guys for your parenting story. I appreciate that.
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two,

(27:28):
Old Dominion was on the show this week, and I
always love when they stopped by because they're such great guys,
and on top of that, they always kill it whenever
they performed. Not only did they perform their new song,
memory Lane, but they also performed their first hit and
their latest hit, and they performed a song that one
of them co wrote. Because I don't know if y'all
knew this, but Old Dominion they're all basically bomb songwriters
for themselves, for the band, and for other people in Nashville.

(27:51):
So this was a really cool interview for a lot
of reasons. But more importantly, the performances, which are all
up on YouTube Bobby Bone Show, you can go watch him,
because I don't believe we can put them on here,
So I'm not going to tease him for on here.
But you can go watching Bobby Bones dot com or
YouTube and they're all up there for you to enjoy.
I promise I'll keep them up there as long as
I can. Number two on the Bobby Bones Show. Now,

(28:14):
What's Fellow is going to see you guys again as always,
you know, massive fan of your music, like most of
you as people. So it's pretty cool to have you
who don't you like? That's that's that's a whole different
segment there. I'll tell you guys later. Um, let me
ask you this question, Matthew, there's five of you and I.
It's hard for us to get together when it's not

(28:36):
predetermined by like a month. Sure, if it's ever like, okay, well,
it's difficult. How do you get everybody together? If it's like, guys,
we need to get together and do this with five schedules?
You're all really good at other things as well as
being an old dominion? Is that difficult? It can be
difficult most of the time. It's a text thread, I think, yeah, everybody,
do you have a text thread that is just you

(28:56):
five with nobody else? It's actually called just the five
of us? Really? Yeah? Is there a text ide of
just a four without Jeff maybe and it's like probably
he doesn't before Yes, yea, every permutation talk about Yeah,
you gotta be careful on that to switch threats. Well,
there is a text thread of the entire show without me, yea.

(29:20):
And I encourage it because I think they can get
you know, they can share frustrations. Um, you know, I
have a spy in there. There's a lot of things.
So but they do have a text or they talk
about stuff all the time without me in it, and
I'm cool with that. Is there a four person one
with one of you not in it that any of
you know about. No, I'm surprised that there hasn't been

(29:42):
like a miss uh miss fire. Yeahs is a lot,
says a lot. Yeah, but yeah, you know you gotta
you gotta complain about somebody at some point. Well, you
guys do in the text thread any sort of creative
like song ideas, will you throw that there as for
a different place. No, there's never really song. It's always

(30:03):
the dumbest, most juvenile jokes that you can possibly think of.
Not naked parts ever do that so good? Never happened
had this before? Okay, all dominions here, and we have
a lot to do today, and so if it's cool
with you guys, I know the new song came out.

(30:25):
It's great, I love it, Thank you if you wouldn't mind?
Can you perform that? Are you guys accustomed to playing this?
We could find out when you walked in was the
first time? Yeah, this was the second time I've ever
played in this form. Yea. All I know is that
when I walked in, Brad was like, shut up, don't
play that stud not come in. Then I was like, WHOA,
welcome to being an old demand was so aggressive world

(30:53):
with Memory Lane, I don't know who has the concept
written in their phone as a note or does it
come up as you're just hanging out for the first
forty five minutes that that one happened to be uh
in Jesse Joe's phone. I think she had that title
and he had this little We showed up and he
was already playing this guitar part, but he had this
beat going and we knew we were really in love

(31:15):
with that feel. And then she threw out that title
and with no kind of direction, and one of us said,
you know, if I could buy a house on Memory Lane,
and that immediately sparked everyone everyone got super excited and
then we just were, you know, following that idea wherever
we went and just wound up at the end of
the road. You know. It was it was truly like
a journey to write it. Is there an unspoken role
with songwriters that you don't really yell who had this

(31:37):
idea and that idea? No, I mean sometimes it's it's
sometimes you remember some we I don't particularly remember. In
this one, we were just so it was you know, yeah.
I mean, honestly, I think I might have said if
I could buy house some memory life and then actually
I was, okay. The thing is, I usually can't remember

(32:00):
anything and just thinking like maybe I think so, well,
anytime d I write a funny songs like I wrote
that part all right here is old dominion. This new
song is that I want you to just turn it on,
play it when you leave for work today, and just
let it stream over and over again. You have to
be there, right because let'll play in your house over
and over again. If everybody does that, it's a hit.

(32:21):
And that is that's like right down the middle for
you guys. That's why I like you guys so much.
Like there's just like the insertion of my own story
in that music. You guys do that a lot. You
write something that is pretty universal, you write it specific.
But it's like a lot of times you guys write
such good songs and I go, oh, yeah, I felt that.
Sometimes I hear a good song, I'm like, oh, that's catchy.

(32:41):
A big difference. You guys do catchy songs most of
the time, and I go off. Except for hours on
a boat. I'm good, I don't need water, I don't
like the beach, I'm all good. That song whatever, except it, Yeah,
except for that one. That one's called memory Lane. I
do want to play a little bit of Ain't gotta worry.
This is new music from Old Dominion. Here you go

(33:02):
right now on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, listeners send
us questions, and we started doing uncomfortable questions from listeners.
It wasn't initially approached like that, but now they know,
so they send us questions or sometimes uncomfortable. So let's
see what we got here, um, and let's answer them honestly.

(33:24):
Does Old Dominion have any feuds with any other country bands? Yes, yes,
Catallact three, Well, you outnumber them, so I don't know
if you guys have ever heard of them? Most people haven't.
Oh that's true. Yeah, yeah, do they count? Do they count? Um?
You don't have to say what it is, but who
in the band has the most expensive car? Not Matthew anymore?

(33:45):
I have an RV? Does that count anymore? Times? Tough? Yeah?
I just I just had a little accident. But it
used to be you before somebody hit you or you
hit them. I hit a tree by myself. It was
it was very snowy, and I wasn't gonna push. But
I hear you, Yeah, that's why I wasn't gonna push.

(34:10):
I was just like, I'll sit in silence if I'm like,
how did that not make the news? Um? Final question?
Why did old Dominion become popular? Good question? I mean,
we had the motto for years that this is never
gonna work, and we also look back at some decisions
that we've made, you know, creatively, like you know, putting

(34:31):
out an album of meals and things like that, and
we wonder the same thing. When the Grammys came out
nominations after that year, you guys were snubbed. That was
a snub, not even Seem's Grammys. And I felt like
it was snubbed. Let's go back in time, Let's do
first hit, last hit. The very first hit in my
mind is break up with Him? Is that to you guys? Yes,

(34:52):
like definitely, And I feel like that you guys kind
of came out of revisionist history, came out of nowhere,
boom smash hit. I'm sure that's not exactly how it
happened to the world. Yeah, van and trailer all that stuff.
When it did hit, were you surprised? Yeah, there's an
element of it that for sure. I mean there's you know,

(35:12):
I remember after the number on the way to the
Number one party for a break up with Him, I
was riding in the car and my uncle was with
me and he said, man, did you ever think this
would happen? And I said, yeah, I had to because
I would have just quit. But at the same time,
you have that feeling, but you also have this like
you can't believe it's a reality thing, right, Yeah, if

(35:34):
you don't believe in yourself, nobody else. Well, for sure,
But also when it happened, you're like, a it's crazy, Yeah,
especially because it takes so long, like you said, all
those years of just trying to do it and not
having success, it starts to feel like it's never gonna happen.
So when it does it, yeah, it is kind of
a nice surprise. But here's what I like. The greatest
thing just happened, like the level of oh wow, it

(35:57):
just happened with Old Dominion because they have so many hits,
they can't the first. That's what we aspire to do.
It's like our fans on Twitter all the time are
like making fun of me all the time for not
remembering the words. I forget him all the time. Let's
do the last hits. Okay, hey, you know what I
like about that? That Trevor that last deal the bo
do don't when you guys break up with him? I

(36:20):
felt that good. Thank you? Can you do that with
no no? Yeah? Oh yeah, you know what it is?
And then I will say this too. It's I think
it's very under That's a sample. Somebody should be school
Boy Cube come out with that and a and then

(36:42):
also Brad Plain, you're doing solos on acoustic. Yeah, you
don't have to do it now. I just love an
acoustic solo because it's it's brave and you nal it. Yeah,
it's like you got no choice. You gotta you gotta
do it. You got no choice? Yes, movie, it's like
we're never gonna make it. But it's like we got
no choice. Everybody still thinking over that we're never going

(37:06):
to make it. Mantra, Yeah, what choice do I have?
I'm being forced to do this? All right? Last hit?
What would that be? Depending on who you ask? It
was no hard feelings. I do love no hard feelings xylophone.

(37:27):
Do you know how to play that for ill? Or
did you learn that specifically for that song? This was
this was custom made by our drum tech to only
have the right notes on it. Can't really mess it up.
It's like when I play harmonica. Yeah, I get a
harmonica that is in the exact key, and I just
it sounds like I know what I'm doing, and the
audience I was like, why I plays harmonica? Like No,
I just blow in and out with the same mix

(37:48):
of music on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, all right,
old dominions all here, all of them, They're OK, hey,
let's listen to communicate right here. It's behind the scenes.
What do you say, Matthew, What what do you communicate
to him? It was just communicating what at the length
of the song that we were Yeah, what's the length? First?
Of course is what love it? I love that I
liked behind the scenes, It's like when they turned the
mic up on the quarterback going Blue twenty two a linebacker,

(38:10):
he's an idiot. You know they should. I'm hearing sometimes
we often are. We often wished that we recorded our
talkback mics on stage and are simultaneously glad that no
one ever hears. Absolutely, okay, sometimes you don't want that
out at all. That's right, Hey, yes, are you good?
What do we learned? I'll tell you it's a minor.
Remember the words, Hey, Jeff, when you you went to

(38:31):
the roll cup? Yeah, yeah, that's that, and you went
to what is that? How they say it their guitar
cutter or very polite, No matter how you said it,
they would not. Did you feel safe? I did, actually,
but I was. I was lucky. The first couple of
days I was with U was with someone that had
private security, so famous. No, my girlfriend works at McDonald's

(38:53):
in marketing, so it just like the marketing team has
and that went really boring. I thought we had secret security.
Have you ever seen Jason Bourne yet? Well? Mc guy's
marketing hasn't had chicken nuggets, right, those nuggets? Man, you
gotta you gotta protect the nugget as it was fun experience.

(39:14):
It was amazing. It's absolutely amazing. All right, superlatives here.
Who's the funniest person in the band? Man? Everybody think
it chakes his day to day? Yeah? Yeah, somebody, That's
why it's fun to be in this band. Somebody there's
no funny? Yes, okay. Who I think Wit might take
on the most consistent? Is it because you don't expect
it and then wham Wit hits you? Oh it's always

(39:34):
like a little off kilter. Yeah, okay. Who's the biggest
perfectionist of the group that sometimes it's annoying? I'd say Brad.
He's still trying to remix our first album. The Meal
wasn't perfect, guys, This Meal is a little off key.
Let's do who's the latest, who's late the most? That's
that's up for debate. But the rest the debate is

(39:55):
between all of us against Trevor. We all say he's
the latest. He says he's not. I'm definitely not. So
it's Stephane. Here. Here's the thing. I live in Franklin.
I got like a thirty five forty drive every time,
but that doesn't make you late. They had to come
down to a meeting in Franklin the other day and
they realized that we were on time though one were one.
You were you were in time. You you had one drive.
I loved this question thousand. So when there's an act,

(40:16):
they started fighting. This is the greatest. This is an aldermen.
You broke up right here on our show. Thanks for
he less accident. I am stickler. It doesn't have anymore.
But what did I if we were even one minute late?
What would happen? It was so annoying. It's your hand.
If you've ever been sent at home, everybody's been sent
home like it was stupid. Now, if there was an accident,

(40:39):
do it on purpose? Though? No, no, no. If they
had a flat or a kid was sick, that's different.
But if you're seven minutes late just because you decided
you yeah, didn't you didn't respect the same everything body,
So we never decile you low, you know what I mean? Okay, relax, everybody,
we start fighting too. Who's the most fashionable man? Do

(40:59):
you have to be? Because you're the front? I guess
so probably? Finally, who was the most emotional outwardly emotional. Yeah,
I would say Brad probably is outwardly emotional the most.
I'm about to freak cut right now? Yeah, So are
you good on the song you're about to do? I
are you asking questions? I don't know. I just couldn't
remember the first line. Okay, So we're gonna do a
song written by one of you guys that another singer recorded.

(41:21):
So we're gonna do just a verse in a chorus here.
What did you guys choose to do and who did it?
We chose a song called Wild Hearts that me, Jennifer Wayne,
and Eric Pasley wrote, and then Keith Urban actually rewrote
the verses and kept our chorus and kind of rewrote
the song about his own life, and uh yes, it
was a four of us together. I declared this song

(41:42):
the most screwed over song in twenty twenty two. Screwed
over song, yeah, because it should have been a number
one and it was a number two, and it was
as good. I mean, it was number one worthy for
shuret better. So here it is the most screwed over
song of twenty twenty two. Go ahead, all right, poor Brad,
It's number two cry out loud right now, does it

(42:06):
ever happen? Matthew if you get sick and he can
the other guys fill in, and we've done We've done
some shows before where I was sick. What if you
lip sync and they sing though? Yeah, I mean you
really could pull that off through that. Yeah, but we
have filled it in because we do have you know,
we're lucky enough to have hits that you know that
we've written for other people. So it's definitely been used before.

(42:27):
I was like, you guys sing a couple of songs
so that I can take a break. You guys know
a massive fan. You're welcome anytime, Thanks for humoring. And
here's the thing. You brought all your instruments and we
don't want to come bring all your instrans to play
one song? Like why all right? Why said all the way?
I'm just do one song. That's how I feel. So
and then even after we go off the yere I'm
gonna keep them playing my person enjoyment. Um. But listen
old Dominion music on Instagram. I'm a huge fan. New

(42:49):
music is great and I have the tour here, the
No Bad Vibes Tour, which is starting the nineteenth. Is
it starts. It's not restarting, it's starting, Okay. So we
are Old Dominion dot com and everywhere we are and
you're listening to this. They're all over from green Bay

(43:13):
So go check them out. They're awesome, live and all
the way to June thirtieth. That's it Old Dominion. Everybody
say bye, thank you, and there they are. It's the
best bits of the week, with Morgan number two coming
in at that number one spot. We love when somebody
is a hero, and Eddie was a hero. Eddie the

(43:34):
Dad turned Eddie the hero when he broke up a
fight that happened between some kids as he saw him
get off a bus and he jumped into action. So
we think that makes him a pretty cool hero, especially
after you hear what transpired after he broke off the fight.
So yeah, maybe you're a hero. Maybe you've done this before.
But I love hero stories, So if you have one,
share them with me or call the show and leave
a voicemail. Either way, we love hero stories. So this

(43:57):
is Eddie the Hero Number one. Everybody knows Eddie the Dad.
We love him. His kids even sing the song about
Eddie the Dad. But what if a dad on a
moment's notice turns into a hero hero Eddie, I'm not

(44:21):
a hero, but look that's what a hero says. A
hero says, I'm not a hero. I was driving home
and I saw like a group of kids and it
looked like they had just gotten off the bus. So
it's like a bus stop or whatever, and something wasn't right,
and they're all huddled around something. And the closer I
get I noticed there's a fight going on. So what
do I do. I pull the car over, I get out.

(44:42):
I make a big die honk, open the door, slam it. Hey,
break it up, break it up. You jump out into
the pilot. Kids, Oh yeah, you wrest your own safety.
As soon as I said break it up, they all look,
oh my gosh, and they all scattered like cats. And
the two that were like on the ground wrestling, I
was about to grab the guy that was on he
was definitely winning, and he kind of gets up and like, oh, there,

(45:02):
we gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go, and
they all split and it was just me and the
one that was kind of on the ground, He's like,
oh man, oh, thank you, thank you, and then he
eastern runs off and like are you good? Are you good?
I'm fine. He runs off, and the guy that was
beating him up yells, we're not done, bro, you just
got saved. Oh no, And I saved his life though, yes,
So I'm like, wow, that was crazy full of adrenaline.

(45:24):
But then I started thinking like did I ruin it
for the kid? Like is now the bully or whoever
was winning that fight gonna find him? Like did he
did he get beat up? Ten minutes after I left,
Like I felt like a hero, Like that moment's life.
I think safe kids laugh, and I like to commend, Wow,
stole your car, You jumped into action. You risk your
own safety, which is yeah, you think about it. It It
was instanct. Guys, when you're a dad and you see

(45:46):
kids fighting, like you just do what you do. It
was instinct. I just, you know, felt I had there
no other adults around. No, It's like they had just
gotten off the bus. They all had their backpacks on
one he was just pounding the other kid. Oh yeah,
like one was definitely winning the fight. Nothing says like,
you're an old grumpy man, like breaking up a kid's fight.
You have no relation to these kids. You let them fight,
you let them handle their business. You don't know what

(46:08):
adult you should stop two kids. You don't know what
that kid did to the other kid, Like maybe he's
spit in his face and so the guy punched him.
You breaking it up, Get out of here. That is
none of your business. Drive on by, leave them alone.
Not a hero, No, I think you're a hero. Look, man,
I just opposite here. I did what I felt I
had to do. I'm not a hero, though, Guys, I'm

(46:31):
just a hero, says though. Look, I'm just a dead
You're basically like the guy who landed the plane, the
nineteen year old eighteen year old No, and the Hudson. Oh,
Captain Sully, You're You're the Sully of the Bobby Bone Show. Wow, God,
thank you, thank you guys. Wow yeah hero. Wow. It's
