But let's go around the room. Share with me what
you have found this morning. Eddie, you go first. Guys.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
You know me, I love science and I just saw
an article, crazy article that by the year twenty twenty five,
we may not be able to see Saturn's rings, the
rings that we know Saturn for how.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Many times you guys seen them?

Speaker 3 (00:36):
I mean every time you look at a picture, right,
you still look at that old picture.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, picture will still have them. Yeah, but the planet's
not gonna have rings anymore. That's crazy. You're just not
gonna be able to see them from Earth. Well yeah,
but still I already coudn't see them from Earth exactly.
If you get it tells telling me, hey, you'll never
in the whole history of the world be able to
meet Elon Musk again, I'd be like, well, I never
been to begin with, So I didn't really hurt that.
I see what you're saying, I s're saying.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
But still, if you get a tell us open you
look through it, you'd see the rings today.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
But in twenty twenty five, no longer. Thanks man, really interesting,
Thank you. I had no idea We're so boring until
you brought it up.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
I mean, okay, guys, science is boring.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
I don't think that song more but that okay, lunchbuck.
Can you beat that? Oh? I can beat it?

Speaker 4 (01:13):
And it's from last weekend in a football game Texas
Southern University. This tuba players playing in the band and.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
This guy starts a better tube than that though.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
It's playing some song, and this guy starts heckling him
and as he's playing, the tuba boom boom boom.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Knocks him out cold and keeps on playing. Dude, dude, due,
this guy got in his face to like make fun
of him, like heckle him, and the guy's like, I'm
not taking it. What like hard crosses this video of this? Yeah,
oh it's awesome, dude. And the guy takes the first
shot and stands there like wait, what about the third shot?
He's he's out, he's down here, he's down, He's down
on the ground. It was so freaking funny. By do
you pick on the tuba player? Didn't happen anybody.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
Have So there's a Germanti just on TikTok. That is saying, hey, guys,
if you have a beard, make sure you are cleaning it.
Every time you're in the shower or you're not taking
a shower, wash your face and clean your beard. And
right now Scuba Steve has a beard, Ray has a beard,
Lunchbox kind of has a beard.

Speaker 6 (02:14):
Eddie sometimes has a beard.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
And there's some people say Cayline's my beard. Right, it's
a little different.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
Well, all these guys are married, and the problem is
when you're kissing someone, they're getting all that bacteria and
then sometimes it can even cause a little rash on
the chin. It's called impetigo, and women are dealing with them.
They're having to get like prescription cream because then the
bacteria is infecting the bed. Well if the guy, if

(02:42):
the beard is not clean and it has the bacteria
in it, and then you're kissing and it kind of
rubs that skin a little bit and then it's wrong,
and then the bacteria gets in there.

Speaker 6 (02:50):
It's causing impetitoest with you.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
So every time I kiss someone my wife like and
she gets that red like rash on her chin.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
I could also be from rubbing. That's that's what I
do think it's not everything it means, like he sayss
your impotent.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
No, when y'all take a shower, do you wash your
beard with soap?

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Soap? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (03:10):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Like which whatever I wash my face with, that's what
I perfect too. That's that's a good tip.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
I got a question when you would take a shower,
do you wash your armpit hair with soaper?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Shampoo, so soap? I don't shampoot, really shave. I shave
my armpit hair with it. Let me add to that.
Do you put conditioner on your armpit hair? No? You
put on your regular hair. Yeah, because your regular people
see it. I just random question. Yeah, very okay, thank
you both of mine? Are you the two? But they're

(03:40):
the same category. It's holy craft. That's big, okay. So
when I say it, when I point at you, go,
holy craft. That's big. Okay? From Fox News. Fourteen pounds,
eight ounce baby holy craft that's big was born last
month in Canada. I didn't even hear the story. Say
it again because I'm focusing. Fourteen pound baby, fourteen eight
ounced baby was born last month. Wow, holy crap, that's

(04:04):
I didn't point though, not a point, Oh, I tell
you point Yeah, that's the heaviest baby born since like
twenty twelve, and the heaviest of the hospitals like twenty ten.
But imagine that for ten pounds eight ounces. Holy crab,
that's big. Or mom? Yeah, I mean she had to
give birth to that m Yeah, he was fifty five

(04:24):
centimeters long. And I also think, holy crap, that's big.

Speaker 6 (04:27):
I don't know what that means.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
That's why I didn't point on that.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
And I also think about how that how much that
baby's gonna take the press feed?

Speaker 2 (04:33):
That's gonna be a lot. He was again fourteen eight.
His other brothers have all been born at over thirteen pounds.
Holy craft, that's big. My baby was ten. Oh yeah,
our second one right now, it is big, but yours
isn't as big as mine.

Speaker 6 (04:49):
Yeah, that's what she said.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, well, no, that was all point. We didn't have
to really do that. A nine foot alligator, Holy crap,
that's big. Yeah, A bitter woman's face in Florida, what
is she gonna be? Okay, holy crap, that's messing up.
You guys didn't even do that. The holy crap, that's
big except for Eddie appointed a nine foot gater, Holy
big Yeah, she was snorkeling with a friend in a

(05:11):
recreation area. A nine foot gator. It's a monster. Not
only is it a monster, Holy crap, that's big. This
nine foot gater attacked her bitter forehead. This is from
Fox thirty five Orlando. A photographer nearby happened to snap
photos of the immediate aftermath, the alligator still lurking behind them.
She is not dead, she had ripped the mask off.
I turned to see two little eyes sticking out of

(05:32):
the water. She said. A nine foot gater came out
of nowhere. Her friend Shane said, he heard a rush
of water, saw the gator, and he turned around, but
he couldn't even react because it happened so fast. She said,
didn't hurt that bad in the moment. And then once
she got back and she alway saw the punctures on
her head and she didn't die. But if a nine
foot gater gets you most, I was probably gonna die. Yeah,

(05:52):
but that's a big gator. Fully crowd that. Wow, Yeah,
your story is by far the worst of this. You
guys just don't like science. It's okay, I do like science.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Doesn't sound like it because I gave you a good
science story.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
There, I wouldn't taste good, taste good at all. Let's
open up the mail bag, you family mail, and we
read it all the air. We get something we call
Bobby's mail bag. Yeah, hello, Bobby Bones. My boyfriend and
I have been together for three years. We're planning to
get married. However, my parents don't approve the relationship due
to cultural differences. They want me to end things to

(06:28):
find someone more suitable. My boyfriend is kind, loving, and
we're great together. I don't want to lose them, but
I don't want to be a strange from my family either.
I'm torn. I don't know how to navigate this situation.
How can I stand up for my boyfriend without ruining
my relationship with my family? Signed daughter in distress. Okay,

(06:51):
here's the easy answer here. If you end up ending
a relationship because of something that you're parents believe in,
not you you want this relationship with your parents, but
you're gonna resent them. If not, now, you're gonna resis
them big time later, and later it's gonna be even

(07:12):
worse than it would be now. This is one of
those situations when you are a young adult where you
have to figure out who you are, and sometimes it's
uncomfortable to be who you are because what's comfortable is
the same, and the same is not always the right answer.
I don't know what the cultures are. I don't know
what the differences are, no idea what that is. All

(07:34):
I'm saying is just because your parents want it first,
I would ask them why. And if it is just
a culture thing, then okay, it's that's not that's not
for me, it's not for you. You're gonna be so
upset at them years later. If it's like they know
he's a bank robber or something different, that's different. But
I would just let them state their piece. If they're old,

(07:55):
old people have older thoughts that are wrong, but they'll
die soon. Wow wow, and then we can move on.
Everybody'll be happy. No chance you should break up with anybody, friendship, relationship,
because the cultural difference is if you don't want to
break it up because somebody else wants you to do it,
you just shouldn't. If it's on your heart and you,

(08:17):
that's on you. But don't do it because somebody else
wants you to do it. There's don't don't do it.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
No, that's sacrificing your own happiness to please others.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
You will resent your parents so much. But that's good
because I'm wondering what the answer would be to that question. Yeah,
why why? Yahy not? And let's see how honest they're
about to be. Yeah, no, be for real. So I say,
be for real. And then when they're not for real
and they don't have a good answer, okay, I choose
not to take your advice. But if it's something like yeah,

(08:46):
he killed three people, we know that and we just
want you to not be with them, that you should
listen to. But then you follow up and prove it.

Speaker 5 (08:52):
But if it's culture, yeah, I feel like there's like
culture I'm thinking back to, like in college, one of
my boyfriends was Catholic and I don't know so much.
I mean, my dad definitely didn't care about that.

Speaker 6 (09:02):
Listen, wait for it.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
I know, I know it's weird to think about now,
but it's just the type of you know that I
was in.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
I've said nothing. I'm just looking at amy. I know.
I within the Christian community, it's not really that culture.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
No, no, no, I know, but it's a fundamental list
like type where I was, And so my mom so
much didn't care. I know my dad didn't, but I
know there was whispers at church. Amy's Dame Gothl you
need to be braying for it. Maybe she could bring
into church, you know, like it was a thing where
I thought, and so then I started to think, you know,

(09:38):
and then I went to Mass with him, and I
felt like white all supposed to be here, Which FYI,
if you go to Mass and you're not technically Catholic,
don't go do communion.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
Yeah I did that.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
What about if it would have been like a Jehovah's
Witness or LDS Oh that.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Would have been that would have probably been worse. Like
I I get it, but I mean, I'm just saying, yeah,
you think you look in the Christian faith and it's
like the ca things can be broken down and broken
down and broken down, and there's all these little tiny
compartments or for that matters some people Southern, right, right.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
So you broke up with them because they didn't like you.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
No, I didn't know he broke up with.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
No.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
But another example of this might be, you know, you
bring somebody home and they're not.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
Part of the political party that your family is in.
It's like oh, they you know.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Don't do anything for your family, right, If it's just
for your family.

Speaker 6 (10:25):
You have to do it for yourself.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (10:27):
Don't let you get this one life, that's right.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
One shot opportunity. Yes, mom, spaghetti sweater already? All right,
close the mail bag.

Speaker 6 (10:37):
We got your game.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Lad on you.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Now let's find the closed Bobby mail bag. It's almost
time for fun fact Friday, and I got music fun facts.
I'm gonna give you one pre or pre gaming, as
your kids would say. I like that. The village people,
what's their most famous song? Amy yank correct. So they
go on American Bandstand. They don't have the hand movements

(11:01):
as part of their act. The crowd starts to do
why m c A as they're singing it, so they're like, oh,
that's cool, let's put it in the song. So then
they they Yeah, the crowds of the village people never
plan to do the arms. How did people just think
of that? I don't know that quickly. I don't know.
Just stay why I see it? Whoa, Yeah, it's natural.
I think I didn't mean to. Yeah that's pretty fun, right,

(11:26):
that's what this next segment's all about.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
Let's go first, you're about one centimeter taller in the
morning when you first get up, then when you.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Go to bed.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Gravity.

Speaker 6 (11:37):
Yeah, it's because during.

Speaker 5 (11:38):
The day the soft cartilage between your bones get squashed
and compressed.

Speaker 6 (11:41):
I assume from yeah gravity.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Dang, So you should measure next time I go get
a driver's license, I should stay in bed the whole
time and lay down. That's all the time to get
everything and be like they're six to two go early
in the day. Yeah, luxchbox.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
Pefore you is the sense of release as bladder pressure

I knew it exactly. I like that's pefore you. Oh god,
I mean that's automatic right going.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Oh, especially like when you got to run to the bathroom,
Like when you're holding it, holding it, holding it, you're
on a road trip, you pull over and.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
You run anything on there on puffoio, I'll find that
for next week. That's not really when that happens. Yeah,
if you ever Yay.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
So three of the Antarctica glaciers are made of penguin
pe wow. Yeah, because I guess freeze over those high
temperatures make your freeze and then it turns into mold
and then that's part of the glacier.

Speaker 6 (12:41):
Man.

You know what, that may be the best one you've
ever brought. Thank you, dude, No he because it's about pea. Dude. Oh,
I got it, and you should have some time my way, Morgan.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
You know those loofahs people have in their bathroom.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
People you mean me?

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Yes, yeah, if you have one, loofahs are actually vegetables.
They're distant relatives of melons and squashed so before they
reach maturity and become the loofah you you they are.

Speaker 6 (13:00):
Also there's the sponge lufahs.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
I thought that was a thing that the bath bell
made up. No, no like, because my thing doesn't feel
like a vegetable rope in its vegetable. Hey don't don't.

Speaker 6 (13:12):
I would bet the you have it's not the vegetable.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
It's it's before they reach When they reach maturity, they
become the loofa that we know that people use on
their bodies.

Speaker 6 (13:20):
But before that they're edible. There's multiple stages of the vegetable.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Is not the hot people that you have is not.
I was wondering is that dragon fruit? I'm always confused
by the dragon fruit. Okay, so I have two of these.
We'll start with Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison. Yes,
you know the song? Yeah, it was it originally the title?
Do you know the original title?

Speaker 7 (13:45):
You're my.

Speaker 6 (13:47):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Do you remember you thinking, Chevy the Levey it was
a wrong song?

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Was it called?

Speaker 2 (13:54):
It was called brown Skinned Girl? Let's not do that.
But he claimed he changed it absent mindedly. He just
sang it wrong, and he was like, oh, I didn't
realize that I sang it brown eyed to the brown skinned girl.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
It's not a conscious decision to change it. He had
written it and was singing it. Wondered that would have
been a hit. Who knows, You'll never know. I'll never know.
And the Backstreet Boys never had a number one hit.
The closest they came was number two when Quit Playing
with My Heart? I Playing in my Heart got the
number two in nineteen ninety seven. Really yeah, I had

(14:31):
a lot of top eyes, a lot of top tens
in sync did have a number one song. But it's
gonna be me. I mean, there's so many jams and
none of them were number one. That's and finally, a
Swiss army knife has called a mcguiver knife in South Korea.
Oh that's cool because it does a lot of stuff
like mcgiver. There you go. I had fun. You guys
have fun, a lot of fun. Fun Fact Friday, good fun.

(14:56):
It's time for the good news, guys.

Speaker 5 (15:02):
I got a story. This is going to be lunchbox
in sixty years.

Speaker 6 (15:05):
Okay, sixty sixty years.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
That means he's going to be over ninety, so okay,
I hope he makes it there. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
So Helen Holland is one hundred and one years old.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
She's a mother of four and a grandmother of seventeen,
a great grandmother of fifty four.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Crazy, no way she remembers all those names, but go ahead.

Speaker 6 (15:23):
Yeah, okay. So in nineteen thirty nine.

Speaker 5 (15:24):
She was at BYU and she had to leave in
nineteen forty one due to financial concerns. So she never
graduated college. Well, after watching her granddaughter recently graduate with
her master's degree, she's like, you know what, I kind
of want to go back and get my college degree.

Speaker 6 (15:42):
So b yu, Well she just let.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Them let to clap out of classes at ninety one.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
Yeah, they're working to accommodate her by organizing suitable classes
since the ones on her original transcript are no longer available.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Selling Pennicella a churning butter, all those are gone.

Speaker 6 (15:58):
Yes, but yeah, she loves the football game. She knows
all the songs and.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
Cheers and uh she's the biggest BYU fan and she's
going to graduate.

Speaker 6 (16:09):
She's one hundred one years old.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Like I know, I also like this. She can just think,
I mean, genetically, she's very lucky. She prob taking care
of herself to be that old, over ninety years old,
one hundred years old and still like I want to
go to college or I know my great granddaughter's name,
even that's a big deal.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
I wonder if she's going to have like five am
classes because you know, older people wake up early, right.

Speaker 6 (16:31):
But I think at one hundred one do you wake
up early?

Speaker 2 (16:34):
I think you just happy to wake up. You open
your eyes at one hundred and be like WHOA what
parting spot? You know what I mean? Like I she
probably won't have to go in a whole lot if
I won't drive. If she does, I she may go
on campus. That'd be awesome. Probably maybe a little bit
we went to b YU. It's going to be our
next episode of Too Much Access. It's awesome, beautiful. This

(16:55):
football stadium is in the Mellow Mountains. When we went
and put on all the pads and and b YU
is it's a basically a religious school. And I really
wasn't thinking about it when I got the number sixty
nine to wear it to be hilarious. But you did that,
I did. Yeah, we're number sixty nine because they put
us in all their pads and helmets and we run.

Speaker 6 (17:14):
They asked you what number?

Speaker 2 (17:15):
What number one? I was like, I'll take sixty nine.
I thought it was hilarious.

Speaker 6 (17:18):
Okay what they said?

Speaker 5 (17:20):
They said, okay, they have that number of availab I
know me too, guys.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
It's just a number, I know, But is it? Is
it just a number? A great story, that's what it's
all about. That was telling me something good.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
All right?

Speaker 2 (17:33):
This is Amy and Kenny Chesney. What do you think
Kenny's Chesney's is his biggest song, most stream song ever is.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
Don't bliek Now.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Where it gets confusing is that would be one of
his longest big songs, but sometimes newer songs were bigger.

Speaker 6 (17:48):
Oh half of my hometown.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
No, no, no shoes, no American kids. Number number two
is get along the Road. He's got a new song
called take Her Home, which is out today. Here's a
clip of that one right here, and take Her Home
the follow.

Speaker 8 (18:07):
Lone, Thank the good Lord of the.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Ball that excent one down, Indy, your Loane, little Shane
around your rage Hell and his son goes down. Twenty
twenty four tour tickets on sale November seventeenth, So that's
next week. So here is Amy and Kenny Chesney, who
has sixty two multi platinum, platinum or gold certified single.
I don't even know what that means. I just saw

(18:31):
I thought i'd read it and fit it in. Then
that was awesome, though, a gold certified single, I don't know.
It's impressive whatever it is. I agree, don't know what
it is, but worth something. He has an advertising degree,
you know that. No, now I'm reading the notes they
sent me. He's known for his laid back, beach inspired style.
I knew that he's a huge football fan and played

(18:51):
the sport in high school. Yes, okay, sixty multiplatinum or
platinum gold singles, Yeah, impressive means I even said that
one wrong and I'm still impressed. All Right, here we go.
Here's Amy and Kenny Chesney The Friday Morning Conversation with
Kenny Chesney.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
We've got a new song, take Her Home. I like
the message behind it for sure. It makes me think
of that saying have you heard it's the start that
stops most?

Speaker 7 (19:15):
The start? That what?

Speaker 1 (19:16):
The start that stops most?

Speaker 7 (19:19):
Huh?

Speaker 5 (19:19):
So like it's the start that stops people because they
don't want to go for it. And I feel like
that's the message of take Her Home.

Speaker 7 (19:27):
Well, I can tell you when I first heard it,
it just reminded me of these these life moments that
in ways connect us all. But we have to take
the step. Like you just said, life brings us these
moments and we have to, in way like the character
in this song, mat up to it and move forward

(19:48):
with it. And I don't know, I've really felt like that.
I've been looking for a song like this for a while.
It was it was not necessarily, you know, it's here's
the thing. I look for songs that obviously that I
can relate to, and that is my life. But I
also feel like that, you know, throughout my career, I've

(20:10):
been able to find some songs that I knew that
other people could relate to also, and maybe even more so.
And so I felt like that this song take Her
Home had the thread of that in there, and I've
been looking for that for a minute.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
Yeah, I feel like you can kind of take it
for what it is. Especially in the first verse. You'd
be like, Okay, you know, guy sees a girl at
the bar, get some you know, sends a drink over
the shots or whatever, and then you know it goes
from there.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
But it's so much deeper than that.

Speaker 7 (20:39):
Well, the way they turned the song, it's just it's
it's pretty incredible. And I was looking for a song
like this, but I didn't know where it was going
to come from. And Hardy sent me this song were
I thought we were done, and he goes, I don't
know if you're doing with your record, but we wrote
this two days ago, and I thought, of you. It
reminded me a little bit of there goes my life,
and I went, well, I don't know if that's a

(20:59):
good thing or a bad thing, but I heard it
and I went wow. I mean, like, there's not too
many people setting in a room writing these live songs anymore.
And when I heard it. I just absolutely, you know,
was thrilled that I get to sing this kind of song.

Speaker 5 (21:13):
Is there something when you hear a song like that
that you look back on and you're like, oh man,
you know you regret not taking that chance or doing
that thing.

Speaker 7 (21:24):
Well, that's what you hope that a song like this does.
You know that it's a it's a it connects with
people in a way that it makes them fall in
love or take a chance or you know, go the
extra step. You know, it's one thing like you said,
to buy a girl a shot, up a trone and
introduce yourself, but then the next steps that where that goes.
It's you know, I think that.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
I'm even thinking, like gosh, like on a I think
of so many things, even professionally speaking, or like a
song that you.

Speaker 7 (21:52):
Or do I have wrote on?

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah, like are.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
Something that you missed out on where you're like, oh man,
well I should I didn't shoot my shot?

Speaker 7 (22:01):
Then you know what I will say professionally, you know,
I don't have a lot of regrets. And now, of
course you hear songs on the radio and I went,
well that was that sounds much different with them singing it,
you know, and I'm a true believer that songs end
up where they're supposed to end up. But there's been
a few times where I went, wow, I've missed that one,

(22:22):
you know, that that sounds really great, and but it
sounds great for them, and I don't know if it
was sounded great for me. So there's a few of
those moments. Yeah, And there's moments that you that you
think back, especially now in my life, where you know,
I could have done things a little differently. But I mean,
for the most part, I'm pretty happy with where I'm at,
you know. I mean, yeah, I say, I mean as whatever.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
You know.

Speaker 7 (22:45):
So, but I think this, this this song has a
lot of those live moment lessons in them. You know that.
The thing I love about it is that it that
it's just it's got a lot of commonality in it
no matter no matter who you are, you are in
your life, you know.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
Yeah, Well, I mean I think it's one of those
songs that, yeah, could be something that someone hears for
the first time, or they hear it a few times
and they really take to heart, like, oh, maybe need
to go for this, and it could completely change the
trajectory of their life based on a song that you recorded.

Speaker 7 (23:20):
Well, I'll tell you that's the thing that I love
about creating. Yeah, as you go into a room or
you go into the studio with a song and you
create something that wasn't there yesterday, you know, and now
you have it, it's like you know, it's like you
know a secret that nobody knows in the world. You

(23:42):
have it in your hip pocket. You created this song
and like this song, we're getting ready to give it
to the world, right. But that's the thing I love
the most about creating is that you never know how
a song or a record, how a lyric or whatever
is going to touch someone. And everybody, everybody takes it
a different way, and you never know how it's going

(24:03):
to touch that person. And that's what I love about
writing songs and making music. And you get on stage
and you look out into your audience and you see
the effect that's had on them and how much they've
not only you know, listened to the music, but lived
with it. And that's the thing that's that's what's so
that's what's so great about creating and writing songs.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
What song do you hear from fans the most, or
is there a particular when that.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Stands out of like this. Yeah, over and over changed.

Speaker 7 (24:31):
Over the years. It's it's changed over the years. But
I mean several a long time ago. It was a
song I did about AA called That's Why I'm Here,
And that was a long time ago. I still I
still get these AA coins at at shows, you know,
and I of course there goes my Life. When when

(24:52):
there Goes My Life first came out, and it was
before we could communicate so well with our phones, you know,
we didn't have the community that we you know that
we have today. But at shows, I would see people
hold up their phones. Back before people held up their phones.
I'm going, what are they doing? But they were letting
their dad here, the girls that were in the show
that they were letting their dad hear me sing that

(25:14):
song because it was their song. And then you know,
and then you know, the people that live on boats
want to hear no shoes.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, you have a.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
Wide variety of fans of all different yes of life.

Speaker 7 (25:32):
Well, you know what, I look out into my audience
and I see a very eclectic bunch of people, kids
of all ages, now, you know, and it just it's
you know, that's what you hope. You know, when you
come to this town as a dreamer and you got
a song or two in your head and you hope

(25:53):
that you can touch touch that group of people. And
it's been really special to see and and I think
songs like you know, take Her Home is going to
add to that that canvas some you know, I'm proud
of it.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Oh yeah, I mean I think I think you should be.

Speaker 5 (26:07):
It's definitely gonna be those one of those ones where
I swear people are going to be like this song,
this is what motivated me to talk to her, or
you ask for something at work, or to take that
next step to do whatever, or take the leap to
write something, try something creative themselves, I mean.

Speaker 7 (26:25):
Or ask somebody out, or ask somebody to marry them,
or to quit a job and do something else that
that's that that might feed them more as a person,
or to.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Not be with someone.

Speaker 7 (26:40):
I mean, give give them, give them the cars to get.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
Out, right, I mean, but sometimes it takes that you
may be, you know, need that nudge to like, wait
a second, I'm not I'm not living my best life.

Speaker 7 (26:55):
Yeah, I you know, that's keep going back to that.
But that's the thing about music. You know, it's in
the messages of these songs and why we love songs
and why we gravitate towards a certain thing.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
What's a song not You're not involved in it at all.
That has impacted you in a way. I mean, you
could any any time in your life.

Speaker 7 (27:19):
Wow, that's hard, because I have I've got so many.
It's like asking me my favorite song, you know, it's
it's impossible.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
Was there a song that maybe changed the trajectory of
your life? That maybe a lot of songs did?

Speaker 7 (27:34):
I mean, I mean there was a lot of that,
you know when I when I was growing up, there
there was a lot of those songs that Dean Dylon
wrote that George Strait recorded that I that made me
want to chase this dream in the first place.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
And how old were you when you knew, Well, I was.

Speaker 7 (27:50):
A senior in high school when I kind of knew that.
I got into college and I was decided that I
was gonna I was gonna play in a corner at
a bar, at this bar in Johnson City, Tennessee, for tips.
And that's when I knew. I didn't know how, I
didn't know where this was going to take me, but

(28:12):
That's when I knew that I loved you know, when
people were at the bar and they turned around and
listened to me, I went, wow, this is really great.
And I was singing my hero songs. I was singing
Georgia Strait songs. I was singing Hanging Junior songs. I
was singing Randy Travis songs. I was singing the Eagles,
I was singing Tom Petty, I was singing everybody, I
mean everybody. So music overall impacted me, and I was

(28:37):
always I always gravitated towards the men and women that
made up their songs and then sang them live. I
was always gravitated towards the singer songwriters. And I didn't
know the genius of Bruce Springsteen until I started doing this,
you know, because living in East Tennessee, you don't hear

(29:00):
We didn't hear Born to Run much. We heard Alabama
and Kenny Rogers, right, so we didn't hear Born to
Run any Stennesee and so but when I started, you know,
writing songs and I went out and performed, that's when
I realized the genius of him. And what's crazy is
is that you know, you gravitate towards these people, and

(29:21):
then you get to a place in your life and
the people who saw and the people whose songs really
impacted you and changed the trajectory of my life is
you get to a place where you become friends with
these people and you know them.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Now, do you remember the first time you met George Straight?

Speaker 7 (29:38):
The first time I ever met George Straight was at
the B and I Awards years ago, but it was
in passing right. It was like, you know, I cared
much more about meeting him than he did about meeting me. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
So, but then that was my experiences.

Speaker 7 (29:55):
But fast forward to you know, a couple a couple
of years, I guess it was. And then all of
a sudden I was out on the road with him,
and then I got to to to hang out with
George and and got to you know, get to know him.
And it was crazy, you know, And.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
I mean, yeah, especially since you were he was one
of the reasons why you got in Yeah.

Speaker 7 (30:20):
Yeah, So to be in the car with your mother
and you know, driving around East Tennessee and listening to
George strait and then all of a sudden, I'm on
my bus is parked next to his. I don't want
of his stadium tours. And I was the first guy
on stage, you know, during the day, right, but my
bus was there. You know, it was great and I

(30:41):
was was When that happens to you, it's it's it's
such a surreal thing, you know. I you know, when
I met Joe Walsh was I was just stunned. And
when I when I actually not just met Bruce Springsteen,
but I was. But I had a conversation with him
about songwriting and and about creating and the live element
of it and becoming friends over the years. It's just

(31:02):
something that you don't see coming.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
Well, yeah, you feel that way about all those names,
but there's so many artists that have felt that way
about you and the impact you've made on their career,
and I do. I feel like I feel like take
Her Home is going to you know, steer some people
in certain directions, and you know it's going to come
up and question one day with them like, oh, why

(31:25):
are you here?

Speaker 1 (31:26):
How did you do this? What is what is this decision?

Speaker 5 (31:28):
And they're going to say, oh, this canny chest new
song I heard take Her Home? Am that cool to
think about?

Speaker 7 (31:33):
It's very cool to think about. Yeah, but you know,
you don't think about those things at the moment, you know.
I mean, we spend a lot of time recording these
songs and wishing them up the charts and and working
really hard on the road. And you know, I've been
guilty of this sometimes, forgetting that, you know, how people
are actually listening with this music, and you know, we

(31:58):
are in the in the middle of it and you know,
doing what we do, but people are actually listening, and
that's what makes it great.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:05):
One, we're thankful for the creatives that give it to us.
Music can be so healing. I'll close with that. I
have no idea the scientific evidence behind this, but I
did read today that if you're in any sort of pain,
listening to your favorite song, they did this whole study
and they were like inflicting pain on people, I guess,

(32:25):
and when they would play their favorite song, the pain
didn't feel as bad.

Speaker 7 (32:31):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (32:31):
Yeah, So and they said the music in general helped
with the pain, but when it was their favorite, the
pain wasn't as bad because.

Speaker 7 (32:39):
It's usually sometimes associated with a positive memory.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 7 (32:45):
So that's that's the power of music. That's why we
all love.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Music, and so thank you for giving us all that
you do.

Speaker 7 (32:52):
Thank you very much.

Amy's pile of stories.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
So Cinema Theaters has partnered with door Dash, grub Hub,
uber Eats, and what they're doing is they'll deliver.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Can you imagine watching a movie and then deliverya comes in.
Far is there a market here? The bombs about to
get Sean.

Speaker 6 (35:05):
It's the opposite of that. It's that you can have like.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
Movie theater popcorn delivered to your house like they'll go
pick it up.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
I mean it's a fun little promotion thing that's lame,
just popcorn.

Speaker 6 (35:17):
Well, you can get whatever you want, but I can't
imagine buying.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
You get sour patch kids from the store. It's kind
of like my idea better now is that Jessica here,
you got your NADOs and the movie stops? Yeah? Okay.

Speaker 5 (35:31):
You might be hearing songs when you're shopping right now,
like jingle bells or jingle bell rock or any kind.

Speaker 6 (35:36):
Of Christmas stuff, and stores are doing that.

Speaker 5 (35:39):
Right now on purpose because they want you to feel
positive and nostalgic and get in the spirit and ultimately
still more money.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
I felt that that's literally happen spending your debt.

Speaker 6 (35:53):
Pay attention when you're shopping.

Speaker 5 (35:55):
If you're getting a little too happy and a little
too spindy, you might need to just take a break.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
I tell myself that sometimes my dad used to get
his wallet out and be like it's beginning.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
To sing it sadly. That's hilarious. It is beginning to
your dad is funny.

Speaker 5 (36:13):
Which speaking of shopping and stores, I saw a list
of places that are going to be closed on Thanksgiving
that used to be open, like Walmart, Target, Best by Macy's.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Backlash from people go and let people have off. And
I used to be the person that worked on those days,
and I'll be like, no, no, no, no, we'd get double
and a half. Now, some people do have to work,
but it was the greatest time to work. It'd be annoying,
but you would get double and a half time and
a half.

Speaker 6 (36:36):
Yeah, so you're talking about double and a half or
time and.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
A half, double and a half.

Speaker 6 (36:41):
Oh wow, yeah, that's extra that.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
No, that's that's time time and wow, I've never heard
of that. Yeah. Yeah, it's a holiday, bro, that's good money,
like time and a half maybe for like if you're
working overtime, overtime, okay, double and a half on It
was awesome. I got double and a half at the
radio station on Christmas Day, Christmas Day, and like, this
is amazing. So anyway, I hear you. I'm glad, but
I wish there could be a volunteer. Volunteer list of

(37:05):
like people who wanted to work on the holidays, able.

Speaker 6 (37:08):
To feel like five people and you got a whole target.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
That's rot baby, all right.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
I have a list of outdated tech that we're still
using or outdated things that we still.

Speaker 6 (37:19):
Like and we're okay with it.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Close service.

Speaker 6 (37:22):
Well, yeah, that's that's on there.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
Watches, a notepad and pin, a calculator with buttons.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
I would say watches that do not count. I watch
on watches are jewelry for guys. For the most part.

Speaker 6 (37:31):
You don't look at it to get the.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Time occasionally, but I have a phone. But if you
wear a watch for the most part, it's it's a
jewelry piece more than it is of time because everybody
has phone on their on their.

Speaker 6 (37:40):
Phone on their phone exactly.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Or sometimes you have time man time and a half
on your mart And some people do wear a watch
old school to see time. But I wear a watch.
A lot of people that I know that are under
fifty five that wear a watch do it because it's
the one way for a guy to wear something. And
I'm a watch guy now.

Speaker 5 (37:58):
So the final things that made that list paper maps
and a radio paper maps.

Speaker 2 (38:03):

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Oh?

My father in one is really all the time. Every
time we're going, like you know, how to get to
the airport, he busts out the map, like I got it.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Even old school radios where you have to like tune,
that's who has those? Yeah, I mean everything's digital now,
Like I have one, but it's an antique like it.

Speaker 5 (38:20):
It looks cool, So yeah, I have one too, Oh,
an antique one. I found it at a like a
thrift store and I got it just because it works radio.

Speaker 6 (38:31):
So cute though, I mean, that's my file.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
That was Amy's pile of stories. As everybody knows, seasons come,
seasons go, but for some reason, fall always seems to
be just a little too short, and with winter always
rolling in super fast and lasting for what feels like forever,
especially where we live and you too, probably what it
really means is it's time to refresh your winter wardrobe.

Speaker 5 (38:53):
And are you the type of person that loves to
stand out and be a bit different with bold and
bright colors. Well, Macy's has everything from royal blue coats
to green handbags and highly colorful favorites. Or you know,

up and there's a crash at the intersection right up
the road and he takes off running who and there's

We have firefighters.

Yeah, the military run. As I'm I see danger, I
go the opposite way. They run toward it to save people.
And then also I think about the car that he
pulled over. They just drive off, right. I was thinking
about that too, Like they're like, because he pulls someone over,
and as long as you whistle and look around, like
slowly drive off.
