Speaker 1 (00:10):
Alaska. Hope you had a good weekend. Welcome to Monday show.
More in studio morning. Let's go around the room and
check in with everybody. And this next person can't dunk
a basketball and never could. He also won't stop coaching basketball,
but probably should. Hear us pretty ready, everybody in look,
I've been warned, and I do it anyway because I'm stubborn,
and I think a lot of adults out there do
the same thing too. I went to a trampoline park

(00:31):
the other day and my kids wanted me to jump.
I normally don't. I just watch sit on the couches.
But I'm all right, I'll jump with you guys. So
I started jumping. They're like, yeah, do a flip dude.
Group chance here pressure group chance from my boys, and
I decided to do the flip dude. On the way down,
my knee, I it buckled and I'm like, oh my gosh,

(00:52):
this is it torn acl whatever a pop, I'm not
gonna be able to walk on it. Lucky for me,
I didn't hurt myself, but dude, I was so close
was to hurting myself and I'm like, I gotta stop
doing this. I cannot skiing the trampoline parks. Uh basketball,
his wife almost broke her ankle. Oh my gosh. They

(01:13):
said it had been better. She broke her ankle. We're
at the trampoline park. We got four bounces in and
this when we were sitting, you know, we didn't have kids.
We were drinking. We went with the bigger friends and
we got there. We paid and we signed out that
we signed the waiver and everything. Four jumps and she
lands and busts her ankle and I look at my friends.
I said, does that mean I gotta go? And I

(01:33):
mean she was in tears. She was in so it
swelled up the size of a boat. It was so big, big,
and she was on crutches. It was so bad. But
I mean, it took longer to fill out the waiver
than it did to get the jump. I was so frustrated,
but I did. I took her home. Doctor not until
the next day. We got it home elevated ice. And

(01:53):
because the doctor wouldn't gonna able to do anything then,
I mean, it was nasty. I wasn't gonna go to
the er no. I mean, it's huge, just gross. And
she was like, I was like, can she not just
sit on the mensmore we jump a little bit. You
want her to stay and just watch? Yes, once voted
biggest clown of his classroom. Now it just makes people
uncomfortable in bathrooms. Here has lunchbox everybody. So last week

(02:16):
we had a mail bag where TV Terry emailed in
talking about, Hey, is it okay for me to just
buy a TV for the Super Bowl and take it back?
And some of us were like, yeah, that's absolutely okay.
Some of us, I think Eddie was on board with me,
and Bobby was more like, Oh, that's dishonest at stealing that.
You can't do that. So I was like, okay, let
me call the electronics store and find out is this

(02:39):
frowned upon? Is this okay? Called the store to say,
can I buy a TV watch and bring it back? Yeah?
Major electronics store. You can find it in most cities
around America. But you're not doing a commercial for them.
I know. I'm just just saying it's a big I'm
just saying it's not just a mom and pop shop.
I'm talking. I called one to see what their policy is.
Go ahead, thank you, Yes, I got a question about

(03:03):
a returning ahead. Oh yeah, So the Super Bowl's coming up,
and so I was looking at getting a big screen
TV for the super Bowl and then returning it. Is
that okay? So with the receipt and the boxing serial number,
we can definitely return the TV within fourteen days, So
you don't frown upon that if like I want to
just like I want to have a Super Bowl party
and I want to just have a big TV, and

(03:25):
then I want to return it totally, okay, legit, there's
no problem with it, right, Yes, as long as this
the same TV, okay, and it's and it won't be
broken or anything like that. I just want to watch
the super Bowl and I got a small TV. So
it's like I'm gonna but I'll get my full money back,
correct you? That is awesome. Do I need to put
it back in the box with the styrofoam or no?
If you wouldn't mind, I would be awesome. Hold on,

(03:49):
that's her just going by the policy that they have. Well,
you tell me it's stealing. They just said do that.
They would say, hey, everybody, come get a TV and
bring it back. I'm shocked though she didn't say like,
we don't want you to do that, right she had said, oh,
she was just like, that's fine, Yeah, go for her man,
just and if you want to put it in the back,
that'd be great. That is crazy. I think it's just

(04:09):
their policy. It just so happens to be at the
Super Bowl. Yeah, and what else is she gonna says?
He repeated it five times. Lady kept on going, She's
gonna keep it and I watch it and then I'm
gonna bring it back. I made sure she understood that
I was buying it with the intention of returning it
just to watch the super Based on their policy, I
think they have to say yes, that doesn't mean it's
right because you found a loophole. So let's go. Let's
go back to the last week TV Terry. You can

(04:30):
do it, Okay, thank you lux. She struggles with her
pronunciation sometimes, especially when the words repeat and rhyme. Here
is Amy, everybody there? So I had got a massage
and it was really, really really cold at the place,
so I kept my socks on because when you get
in there, it's like oh. But then by the time
that he got down to my feet, which that's another

(04:51):
thing I like to have women, But it was a
mix up and I had a guy he's down to
the feet part and I say, oh, you can just
take my socks off, and he's like, you're going to
have to remove them. And I'm like, but I'm laying
up here, you're down there, can just take and he's like,
I cannot remove your socks. You're gonna have to take
them off. So I have to like pull my legs
up remove my socks. And I guess he said, literally,

(05:13):
the state of Tennessee will not let me take your
socks off. Yeah. Good, that's good. So I've never thought
I've never had this happen before because I've never kept
socks on. Some slash the episode. Just take clothes off people,
you can't do that. Socks, I get the things that's
still close. It's closed. It does what it's made a
foot fetish. It's a slippery slope. I just had never
had this happen before, and I didn't know if state

(05:35):
to stay it's different, and that I just did never.
I never dawned on me that someone might be not
be able to take off my socks, because technically that's
removing clothing from your client SARTs with socks, it does,
and I do I don't. I don't think I'm gonna
ask them to do it, though I don't think I
would just done it myself and been like, hey, homie, socks,
get them off. I didn't feel like that. I didn't
say it like that. How did you say it? I said,

(05:56):
because you're laying up top when you have the sheet
over you. But it's really quiet, and actually, at this point,
I think I'm still faced down in the cradle. It
was very complicated for me to do it, but I
did it because I understood where he was coming from.
You know what, not all heroes where cape saying no,
I say hero. I just thought it was funny that
he was. That is interesting. They can't take clothes off

(06:17):
of their clients. I didn't know that. I usually when
they're fully clothed, land the table and be like, go
to work, boys. Yeah, it just suck. Okay right ahead
from Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He can out bench everyone on
the show. And he always has his man person toe
Bobby Bones, thank you. I do Hey, no cockets for
me and twenty three boys because of the person's all bag.

(06:38):
Here you go back. So I mentioned last week we
were talking about how I threw away some old bananas
because I thought since they were old and black, I
should just toss him in the garbage. Who knew my
wife was saving would make banana bread, which they needed
to be like that. So she got online because all
we had were yellow or even slightly green bananas, like

(06:58):
really right, and you can put them in an air
fryer for just a couple of minutes and then they
get to that stage that you can make banana bread
like black banas. So um, she did it, but she
was like, you know, we can use an air fryer.
And then when because I helped her make them make
up for that part and but I was just passed
out along. I didn't screw everything up. We actually learned
that if you have an air fryer, you can take

(07:18):
bananas of any ripeness and put them in there and
it makes them whatever the consistency is to make banana bread.
We made it with almond flour. It was awesome. I
keep saying we I did. I did. I did a
lot of the work. You did, Yeah, I swear did
a lot of the mixing. Did uh the scooping out
into the thing, I did a lot. I believe. I
believe you man. Okay, ask me a question, any question,
oh no, we're doping it out into the thing. Tell

(07:40):
me what that means. So there was a bowl of
it and there are we have like it's like a
cookie sheet, but bigger holes. And you take it out
with spoon and put it in, but first you have
to do avocado oil to make sure they come out
of the banana bread's different little slices of any like
little oh they're little loabs. Oh many loves. Yeah, many lobes,

(08:00):
thank you. Yeah, I don't know the difference, that's why.
But yeah, I was questioning your mini lobes and then
you we I just prayed almond oil and she was like,
not on avocad oil. And she was like, spray avocado
oil on the bottom of the pans so they slide out,
so they'll get stuck in there, right, But I thought
it was an ingredient, so I was like holding it
down so it's like a puddle of it in there,

(08:21):
and she's like no, no, no, no, no no, And
so then she had to go. It was like she's
with a kid. And then she had to go up
a little bit from each one of my loave holes
and to all the other ones. But you know what,
dang it. We made it, and I can probably do
it all an hour. Right, thank you, thank you, don't clapform. Okay,
heroes were quad. That's right. Let's open up your segment.

(08:41):
You the people. Let's open up the mail bag. Get
something we call hello, Bobby Bones. I've been married almost
two years. I'm a clean freak. I've always been like this,
and my husband knew what he was getting into. In
the last eight months, my husband decided to only shower
twice a week because he says the water from the

(09:03):
shower will draw out a skin faster. He decided to
grow out a beard despite knowing I disliked them. He
kept it shaved or short during our entire relationship. He
no longer brushes his teeth in the morning because he
hasn't eaten anything since the last time he brushed him,
so why should he. He regularly leaves dirty dishes on
his desk a nightstand table. There's a fruit fly problem

(09:23):
because of it. I've tried approaching his declining hygiene habits
by asking him why he's doing this. I've tried compromising.
I've tried explaining to him that going to sleep dirty
results in more work for me because I end up
washing the sheets twice as often. I've even ignored it
by not saying anything. Nothing changes. I understand that I'm picky,
but to some degree I like to have a better

(09:44):
hygiene habit. I would love any ideas in the matter
to get our marriage a little more fresh. Thanks. Signed,
married to a teenager. Well, the first thing I do
want to say is the beard part doesn't fit with
the rest. If he wants to grow a beard, let
him grow a beard. Just because he didn't have a
beard doesn't mean he can't have a beard now the
rest of us disgusting. But the beard part, let's cut

(10:05):
that out. You lose, You get the small l on
that one. But does that mean he's just being lazy
and he's yes, but it's still a beard even if
he wasn't being lazy. You want to grow the beard,
it's beard. But if you're have a beard and you're
not showing, I know. But we can't fight the bear.
We gotta fight things that we can handle. Okay, So
it seems to me like there needs to be a
reward system more than there needs to be a compromise

(10:26):
with a child, because these tendencies are childlike and you
want to take a bath. He's a kid. You got
to treat him like a kid. But you can't tell
him you're treating him like a kid. You've got to
build a reward system to him. Say hey, look it
bothers me. I know you try to compromise. We'll try
to compromise. But if you take a shower tonight, you
get or you get playing golf or whatever. You have

(10:51):
to find something and do a reward system because it's
hard to compromise with a four year old because they
don't even know what compromise is. Like you do a
little this for it is like no, your mind right.
But with an adult that you're treating like a child,
you're also going to have to do the four year old. Okay,
you get this toy. Here you go, Like, if you
don't brush your teeth, you're not getting a kiss. No,
if you brush your teeth, oh, I will give you

(11:13):
lots of kisses. Well, you have to do reward, not punishment.
You want punishment eddying. One day you'll figure out this day.
I got it right now, Yeah, I got it. I
read something the other day that said our brains respond
the best if we get our reward within like two
minutes of the action. So when he right, when he
gets out of the showers, I would even build him

(11:35):
a chart like a like a kid has to stop it. Well,
also Sean meets a child like this means a lot
to me. Here's your star charts. Yeah you brusheth okay,
you got seven stars this week. Here's the reward. How
about we center these studies from these doctors that are
saying we shower too much and that we're taking good back.
One doctor out of a thousand and the one yeah,
the doctor, the dune a shower. I mean, these are

(11:57):
things that we can do. You guys are saying he's
the bad guy. Maybe she's a little overbearing. Flies in
the bedroom, it's not good. When I was in college,
I did that crap over the scene because I would
throut food in there and I was beat in and out.
You can't punish him. That adn't work, and you can't
compromise him. That ain't work, and you got to get
the reward system. If that doesn't work, then you divorce him.

(12:17):
I mean, is like a nagger. No, it's imagine this.
You married someone that wasn't this way and lunch boxes
didn't marry someone that's this way. And that's what I'm saying.
I feel this guy like he's just been living life.
He didn't have time to do the dishes. You don't
know what his time is. It sounds like a busy man.
So this is what I'm gonna say. You have to
go reward system because you've tried everything else. Everybody good

(12:38):
on that. Yeah, I gotta figure out this reward thing.
Though I went straight to punishment. He did, okay, close
the mailback, We've got your that was clothed. Sometimes we
do good parent, bad parent. It's a fine line. But

(13:00):
we're gonna do a good husband, bad husband. Oh, could
also be a fine line here. So her name is Sarah.
She went, They go to the hospital time to have
a baby. You know, they do the whole thing, to
get the bag, they put in the car. There, you
go to the hospital. They okay, it's Zarah comes, look
at it. It's a boy. They have the baby. Everything's awesome. Well,
the husband, who was super attentive the whole time, was

(13:21):
right there with her. He was recording it if it,
recording some on his phone. And because for posterity, it
was like, hey, if you get some real sweet romanic
not romanic, but just like moments that will enjoy forever.
Get him. So he did. But every part of it
is her with a weird doghead filter over her head.
What on earth of the tongue comes out? That's funny.

(13:45):
So a mom's revealed that her husbands put an ugly
animal filter on her face while she was in labor,
and then he posted it on TikTok. It's hilarious. She
knows who she married, right, yeah, right, But also, don't
you a little bit and get some real foot he
did in this old dog face. I didn't tell you
this is better because the real face is not something

(14:06):
you want to see ever again. It is pain. It's agony,
it's all. It's not just close ups of the way. No,
I'm talking about her face. But she wanted something I no. No,
I promise you when a woman looks back at the
video of her giving birth, if you do film it,
her face is something that is not attractive and you're like,
you want I don't want to relive that same you
don't want to relive that pain. So the dog face

(14:28):
makes it kind of funny and enjoyable. Like I mean,
my wife when I was in there when she gave
birth are three kids. Her face was, oh, man, like,
I don't ever want to be here again. I'm in
so much pain. I hate myself. It didn't even look
like her, so you wish you to put like the
dog filter the look comes to be heard on. No,
I didn't take a video because I was like, man,
you're not gonna want to see that. So I think
I am all for good husband. She said she thought

(14:50):
she was gonna get some centimental footage they want to
keep and to look back on. But instead it's her
with like a Chihuahua doghead with the tongue out A
good husband, bad husband? Amy, Hey good, you wouldn't be mad.
I mean, I guess I would just see it for
what it was and hopefully appreciate the humor. But there
was none. There was none that I didn't have the
doghead like none. I mean to lunchbox anyway, going to

(15:12):
be terrified that I looked, But no one else is
gonna see it if you don't want them to, Okay, Eddie, Yeah,
I think it's weird that you know anyone videos whatever's
going on in there during a delivery. So I'm saying
that's a good husband, and Lunchbox is a good husband.
Good husband. I'm gonna go good husband too, But he
should have got some without the doghead, a little serious,
just some instead of going pure doghead. It's time for

(15:33):
the good news. Good Emily was walking her dog, Shamus,
and it just rained a whole lot and they walked
and there were these waters coming through and they got
a little too close and the dog ran like jumped
into the water. Because this dog was an Australian shepherd
who loves playing the water. Well, the water then swept

(15:55):
the dog away. She couldn't hold onto the dog, and
so the dog's gone. She's that. She tried to grab
himcause's holding the leash, but he jumped in and the
water was too strong. She couldn't hold on to him.
So dog's gone. She calls nine one one and firefighters
came to the area. She's crying. The crew is canvassing
the area and one of the people that was at

(16:15):
an RV park near Bibles like, hey, I heard the dog,
Like what are you guys doing, I'm looking for dog.
I heard the dog. So they got on and she
has an air tag on the dog, like I do
my dogs, which is just a little white thing you
put it in you can track your dog wherever it goes,
or your wallet, or because I have wanted a bunch
of stuff. And so firefighters, because of Emily's phone, was
able to pinpoint the dog in a drainage tube about

(16:39):
a mile away. Wow, imagine being swept for a mile.
That's crazy. So firefighters went into the drain got access
to the dog, got the ladder down there, brought him up.
The dog. They say it was a good spirits. I'm
gonna tell you I don't be good spirits. No, there's
no way down. What the heck. Here's a clip saying
this is Emily saying she's grateful and that there are

(17:01):
people who understand that dogs are like family. I was
just blown away by by that level of response um
from our emergency services and just really grateful. You know
that there are people that understand that dogs are family
members that wild. That's a good point. Like when they
get a call about an animal, or they just like, yeah,
we'll get there, or they like it sounds like they

(17:22):
were just like, let's go pets on. Who's getting the call?
I'd freak out. Obviously she was emotional in that. But
that dog got swept away from a mile. I wonder
when he just goes just float, that means it is
what it is? Yeah, so is that okay? Nine one
one call? Oh yeah. So if I see an animal
get swept I can call yeah. Yeah, Okay. I was

(17:44):
not a worm or like a cricket, but yes, a
dog get swept away. Absolutely, that is what it's all about.
That was tell me something good, So Bobby Bones Show interviews.
In case you didn't know, his name is Morgan Evans.
You may know him from his number one song Kiss
Somebody Sometimes. He grew up in New South Wales in Australo.

(18:07):
You started surfing at age thirteen. At five, he played piano.
At eleven, he played horn. You know. Love him his
friend and he was playing a show in Australia and
this is like, right, has all the news about him
and Kelsey Ballerini's divorce was coming out, and he goes
out and he takes a deep breath and he plays
a song I'd never heard before and it was about

(18:27):
It was a very personal song called over for You.
Here's a clip of that. The first time he's been
anywhere to perform this super pumped and let's do it
now here. He is Morgan Evans on the Bobby Bones Show. Now,
good to see you, buddy. See it feels like ammy.

(18:49):
This has been my experience with Morgan over the last
six months. Hey you in town, New m not on town? Okay?
Is that how you read his texts? Yeah? Okay? And
then he's all, I'm here, I'm not here, and then
we do this and this is literally the first time
we've seen each other. Yeah, but we've tried. We've been
trying to get a game of pickleball. We've been trying.
We've been trying. That's why I don't know that I've

(19:10):
ever walked in and just hugged anybody before I saw Morgan.
I ain't get him a big hug up there, just
because like my friend, I'm seeing you forever. Man, it's
been a long time. Your hair's all along, and that's
not good to see them. It's really good to see me. Yeah,
your hair's growing, grown, grown boy boy. Yeah. Yeah, what's
what's been happening. I just go back from Australia. I

(19:31):
spent Christmas down there almost a month and I heard
it was awesome Christmas in Australia is cool because it's warm. Yeah,
it was like a little snapshot of summer. And I
spent so much time with my family and old mates.
And I've got all these little nieces and nephews now
and they all know who I am now, which is oh,
because you actually around Yeah, the three like three four,

(19:51):
one two, so that I know them from FaceTime. And
so now it's really nice to have a real connection.
You are without choose and a lot of your pictures,
especially when you're being active and so. But there's a
guy who keeps offering amy money for for feet pictures,
and so would you if somebody message you and said he,
I'll give you two hundred bucks for close ups of
your feet and only your feet, would you do that? Na?

(20:12):
You would, even though your fet are already for free
on your Instagram. Yeah, to be clear, and being offered
two hundred and fifty dollars, Oh my bad. So I
didn't mean to undervalue would you do feet pictures? Where
is that on the hierarchy of feet value? No idea
we have. We haven't seen the most valuable feet picture.
We only know her value. I tried to sell him
some of mine and it was far lower, but now

(20:32):
he wants giant pictures of her with her feet right
near the camera and she's standing in her head small
and he's offered even more. That's pretty specific. It's like
giant ness or something. And all you have to do
is just make your foot or hand look big. That's
all I would have to do. And he said he'd
pay me. I mean, I'm not going to do it.
Do you reply to this person? We talked about him
on the show all the time. Yeah, you're right, but

(20:53):
you're someone who is at the beach a lot. And
I wonder, since that's already readily available, would you also
take money? Well, maybe, because it's so available. I've never
been offered money for I do get asked this question
a little bit, which I think is equally as interesting,
which is are your fate ticklish? Do you get ticklish?
It seems like a common, like multiple people question. Never

(21:14):
thought about that. Yeah, and if I don't even know
what it means, it starts the computer history of whoever
asked that question. You don't know what that means? Oh
I don't. I don't do any more than read it
and then move on from it. So I haven't looked
into where it comes from. But are they yeah, what
are they ticklish? I don't know. Maybe sometimes right now,
let's try it right now, Okay, look, let's just let's

(21:39):
get to the nitty gritty. You played this song you're
about to play. You played it at a live show.
We saw it on TikTok. I ripped the audio off
TikTok and just played it on the ear of the
whole thing as a phone version. It sounds your Your
performance was great, but the audio quality was pretty terrible
because it was just somebody recording it. Right then, I
know some people that know some people, and I got

(22:00):
a board version of you play of that, and you know,
I didn't know if you're gonna get upset me for
having it and playing it. I didn't ask permission because
I didn't want you to say no, and I felt
like the song was really good and you would be
grateful later, hopefully if that ended up being a single.
And so we had that I was playing it and
then it became your single now, and so I want
to go back to that night because whenever you walked out,

(22:22):
it sounded like you didn't say anything in the crowd.
It sounded like you were a bit emotional before you
played it. Is that true? Are we putting too much
into that? I mean, it's very true that it was
emotional time the first time you played. Were you like, yeah,
were you? I guess my question is were you thinking about, Okay,
should I play this tonight? And did you make the
decision right then and there or like, I'm gonna play
this new song I just wrote. No, No, it was
then and there. Thing. It was a moment in the

(22:43):
show that was always going to be the Okay, the
band leads of stage and then it's a piano moment.
But there was a couple of options that I had
to do that night, of different piano versions of different songs.
And I'd just written this song of a few the
week before, and I hadn't even shown anyone, like, hadn't
even sent it to my management or anything. But um,
did you write about yourself? I'd been playing it a lot. No.

(23:06):
I wrote it with a couple of other people here
in town. So how vulnerable is that that you do?
I mean, it's a songwriting, very vulnerable when it's very personal. Yeah,
and you go and you go and write this song.
This has been happening you have to trust those two.
And I'm assuming there are people you've been with before. Yeah,
one of them was two of them I met that day.
Oh boy, hello Morgan here. I don't know, I don't

(23:26):
know how white happened. I guess something's just happened for
a reason. It was the only song I wrote in
four month period. And I went into that session because
I particularly I was a big fan of a couple
of people in the room, and then one of my
really good mates was in there, and I thought, I
need to do something creative, because you know, this is
what I do. It's like an outlet. And I sat
in the corner of the room and I just looked
at everyone. I was like, guys, I'm gonna be completely

(23:49):
useless in this session unless I just tell you what's
going on. Were they like elephant in the room? They
knew you were it was a difficult season, and they
were like, what does he wanted? We do we even
write a song because there's just so much there. How
was that I don't know if that that part of
it ever had a chance to have him because I
just said, I just said, look, yeah, let's just do this. Well,

(24:10):
the song is so good I mean, if you write
it or you wrote it for somebody else, songs good
by itself, regardless of whatever story it is, but the
personal story makes it. It doesn't matter whose story, but
a personal story adds value to anything creative because we
feel as the person who's listening consuming we feel like
it is. It's like authentic and legitimate, right, and that's
the goal it is. And as a songwriter, I feel

(24:33):
like that aspect of it I'm really proud of, and
I think the pride of it comes from after sharing it,
seeing how that level of vulnerability and personal writing is
actually the thing that most widely relates to people. And
the amount of messages and comments I get on social

(24:53):
media now they're so great and they're like, it's so
much more than hey I love that song or that
show is so fun. It's like, thank you for writing
that song, thank you for putting into words how I
felt or how I feel. Thank you for letting me
know I'm not alone. And those kind of things mean
so so much. Having gone through a situation like that,
saying that it helps other people going through situations like that, Um, yeah,

(25:16):
it's really a big deal. Morgan Evans is here he's
got a keyboard piano. Now, is that one of those
keyboards that plays for you or the key or are
you actually gonna play? You know how the ones that
would play. Okay, so but it's not you're actually gonna play.
I'm gonna use my hand, Okay, just making sure. I'm
just showing how legitimate he is as an artist all around.
The guy plays all the instruments. How funny he comes
in and it starts playing the song, but the butt Okay,

(25:39):
here he is Morgan Evans with his song over for you.
Morgan Evans, Like, the only thing that I can relate
just a bit of my story to this here is
it's not the only thing. But when I would write,
like my first book, I had to I didn't have
to be I revealed some very personal things that I

(26:01):
never revealed before, and it felt a little embarrassing is
not the word, but I would like talk about some
really personal things about my mom and addiction and struggles
and things that I felt people were gonna feel sorry
for me for. And so I was like, I don't
want people sorry for me, and I was embarrassed that

(26:22):
they might. But then when people started to come up
to me at like shows when I would would go
and do they would go, hey, that part, and it
would be that specifically they would go, that's the part
they go. I related so much to that, the one
that the thing I was so worried about the things
that I was like, Man, when people hear this, they're
gonna think less of me, or they're gonna think they're
gonna feel sorry for me. And I didn't want them
to feel sorry for me. I was using that as

(26:43):
an outlet to share. But it was that that people
related to the most. And I wonder if that was
similar with you. Where you're going, I'm gonna do this song.
It's so personal, and like you said, you didn't expect
people to just be like I needed that song for me,
not for not just listening to your story like they
needed it for them. And all these people hearing that

(27:05):
you're very personal story, but then also finding their own
story inside of it. There's got to be something in
that that makes you feel great that you didn't expect. Yeah, absolutely,
I mean I had no expectations for it. I'm not
sure if you had expectations for those moments in that book.
I've read the book. By the way, it's great. I've
heard that song. Yeah, it's great for that reason though,

(27:26):
and I think the same reason that I feel like
people kind of have been reacting to this song. I
literally played it that night on the festival because I
felt like it was something that I needed to say
something and I needed to do, and it wasn't until
after the show felt good to do that. And I
didn't really get a choice in any of the rest
of it because by the time I woke up, the

(27:47):
time difference and stuff, someone like you've played the song
on the radio. TikTok's had this video shared however many times,
and after that it kind of just took on a
life of its own in other people's lives. And so
after that, I felt like, it's obviously always going to
be my story, my song, but I feel like now
that it's out there in the world, it's it's everybody's
who needs it to be. Was there ever a time
where you'd fight it, I mean, never put the song out,

(28:08):
I mean, never played the song we wrote it. Maybe
it was just that cathartic experience of songwriting. Did you
ever think, you know what, but I just might not
ever play it? Yeah? One hundred percent really dred percent. Yeah,
I mean there's so many especially when you first get
to town and you're still like you're kind of meeting
different writing groups. There's so many rooms that you're in
in Nashville where they're like, hey, we need to write

(28:28):
a hit song today. You know, like that's the goal.
The goal of this day was just dude sitting in
the corner of a room just just trying to make
sense of a situation. And that part of it creatively
is really rewarding too. It's just like, hey, sit down,
say what you're going to say. Weird to have people
in your business, Yeah, but they were in it anyway.

(28:51):
I don't really get a choice of that. That wasn't
that that was not an added part of this moment. No, rewind,
weird have people in your business period, even before the
song came out in a way that that hadn't happened
before totally. I mean it was a high profile marriage, yeah,
and with that, the spoils of it was great. And

(29:13):
then also I got to imagine though I just was
so mad at people about I was just like, you
didn't even need defend it, and you you've handled this
like so freaking mature it. I just wouldn't have. I
just wouldn't. I'd be I'd let things on fire just
for the sake of it. And I was like people
on the internet, now, I hear right, this is a
very pro Morgan Evans show. And I was getting mad

(29:36):
for you, and I kept going, Morgan's just acting like
a mature adult. Maybe I should do that, you know.
And I that had to be tough to just have
all these emotions and go, I gotta worry about me
and only me. Yeah, because that's a beast when people
just are wrong. Yeah, right there, it's it's so I
commend you for that, because I i'd have been fed,
I'd be canceled by now. Thanks man. Yeah, it was

(29:57):
really tough in that way. And I and I mean,
the only thing you control is you and how you
feel and what you're doing. So I just thankfully I
have good people around me that would keep reminding me
of that and keep me grounded in that way. And
I'm I'll always be grateful for that. Found found some
really like true friends in life and in business, and yeah,

(30:22):
I credit them with any of the any of the
small decisions, like you really learn who like who your
folks are when when when times aren't the best, when
there's really no huge benefit for them to be your
folks other than friendship and love. Yea, that's when you
really learn who you who your people are, absolutely, and
that's the real benefit of a time that really isn't

(30:43):
that beneficial, you know. I think we've all been through them. Uh,
the sound is great, You're great. I'm gonna be honest
with you. I'm in love with you. I hope that
makes you happy. I'm in love with you. I'm in
love with Morgan Evan. I said it. Wow, I said
it out there. I said it. I think one of
the most beautiful lines, which may even speak to the
maturity Bobbies talking about, is I would have let go

(31:06):
if you wanted me to. Right. That's a certain level
of where someone is to recognize if you need, even
though it's so painful, if you need me to let go,
I would have done it right. What's what's the deal
the two? Because you're gonna go and you're gonna promote
the song obviously, but it's not like you want to
go to every interview talking about your divorce. Honestly, how

(31:27):
are you gonna handle that? I really don't. I know that.
But you wrote a song. I mean, but I just
wonder how you're going to handle that, because you're going,
I wrote this song, it's the single. I'm here to
talk about the single. It's just how how are you
going to handle that? I mean, I feel comfortable with
you guys. So it's like, if I'm going to do
it anywhere, I'll do it here. But um, I don't know.
Ask me in a few months. I guess. Yeah, we'll
specifically ask him that. We'll bring him into one question.

(31:53):
You're still you're working out, Yeah, like you're good physically,
you're hitting no hard. Yeah, not doing the draw January
thing right now. Ray did that pretty good about it.
Ray did it for six days and then he came
on the show once that I quit, So it was
a real He's like, I'm doing dry January and then
he's like I quit. We're like why he goes, I
don't know. It's Saturday, and so I hope you have Yeah,

(32:13):
you're you're done, You're good now. Yeah, well, look, you know,
I drank enough beers in Australia over Christmas to like
last me through January. I think, well, in Australia the
beer culture there is there is it twenty one? First
of all, to drink beer, it's eighteen, okay? Is it
a loose eighteen meaning if you're sixteen? Is it? Oh no,
they're pretty strict about that. They are the eighteen Yeah, yeah,

(32:34):
pretty strict about most things in Australia. Actually, is there
an Australian beer that you really liked it? When you
come to the States, you're like, damn, I wish they
had Hullah light. That'd be cool. Yeah, yeah, quite, I'll
probably make that. It probably look in America, but yeah, look,
there's so many beers back home now. It's like, um,
all the little micro breweries when I used to live

(32:55):
there and now, like some of those are big beers.
Like I quite enjoyed just going along and trying every
tap along. Yeah mm I like it. Yeah, okay, anything else, guys,
this is it. This is our time. We don't listen.
I try to get him, I try to hang out
with him all the time. He's never round. I think.
What I think is he sits at home and go
I'm ann Australia. Then he's got a post pictures in
Australia on his Instagram, So it's Ana blow us cover
because he doesn't want to hang out yet. He's like,

(33:15):
well I told him and I'm in Australia, so go ahead, Eddie. No.
Along with the beer conversation, like a lot of people
are talking about Fosters, you know, like Fosters Fabia, Like
is that big in Australia or is that just big here?
I think at one point it was big in Australia,
like maybe in the seventies or something like that. But
I think most of us mighty. Let's do it, Eddie Fosters. Okay,
I do keep on the bus, Baxters on the bus

(33:36):
in case someone asked that question and then they have
to drink it. So if you come on the bus,
remember that boomerangs bones out Back Steakhouse. Yeah, we're gonna
do all the generic stupid things that everybody. Eddie's opened
it up out Back Steakhouse. They have him there. Um
I don't think so. I've never been to an Atpack steakhouse.
We should go to we should go. Yeah, that's what
we're gonna do. I'm gonna take you and we're gonna

(33:56):
document your first ever. That's hilarious. That is okay, but
I'll probably be like, hey, where are you. I'm in Australia, bro,
I just get the show three hours ago. There's no
way you can be in Australia in three hours. I'll
post a qualifying picture straight up. Yes, meat pies. Yeah,
you just said yeah, I don't know what that means.
You'll have them? Yeah, absolutely, that's still a thing. Oh yeah.
Asking about the kangaroo, well, oh yeah, asking about the

(34:21):
final question. It's not about you. And I think if
you just said, yeah, we're generically going to find a
kangaroo in Australia, doesn't matter. It's just law of averages,
and you put it in front of me, I think,
I whoop, it's but fighting a kangaroo. Yeah, I would
bet money on me. We're not finding one of those
muscle ones that they put on the internet. And we're
also not going to get a baby. It's just a rant,

(34:42):
random kangaroo you put in front of me. I think
I can whoop a kangaroo's bike. Okay, go? Do I
think would I back you out of the kangaroo? Yeah?
They say, here's ten thousand dollars. Who are you bet
nine to the death the death? Yeah, I mean, look,
there's different kinds of kangaroos, right, you got the gray kind,
which you're around the coastal areas where most people live.
And I definitely they're all with those big red muscley ones.

(35:02):
Yeah yeah, but they don't they don't have the agility
I have. There too many muscles. Are you taking on
one of the big ones? I'm taking on a random kangaroo,
doesn't matter. They just grab one that they just draw
the lottery. This kangaroo group, average kangaroo averages. You paid
an average kangaroo. What's really? Yeah? What's up? An expert? Wow?
You know what Australia do you know what his middle
name is? Morgan rue Evans. So don't tell me that
the guy doesn't know about kank kangaroos. All right, all right,

(35:25):
so you're going to Europe and you're playing these shows
with Mitchell Tenpenny, Yeah okay, yeah, and you're doing those
I'm trying to see. And then you're doing the shows
with Brett Young all like March through Tenner Fry March
April May. Yeah, I can do my fingers. It's gonna May.
And then you're you're all, I mean, you got a
bunch of shows, huh, and then we're about to announce
some dates for the middle of the summer too. Okay

(35:46):
here that it's gonna be busy, gonna be busy something
here though, some here, some la God dagn man. Guy's
gone all the time, like he's trying to create a
good career form all over the globe. Country music is
so fun to play all over the world right now.
Are you a star in Australia? Am I pop star? Yeah? Oh?
I don't know about that. It doesn't mean you have
to do pop music, but okay, are you pop star? Popular?

(36:09):
And that people know you that just don't know country
music back home? Like do your songs get played on
Top forty radio? Yeah? Yeah, they get played on Top
forty radio? Yeah? Um, And that's cool. We just got
to do the New Year's eveything in Australia, which is
one of the coolest gigs. And New Year's Eve in
Australia they set up a stage at the Opera House
in front of the bridge before they do the fireworks
and stuff like that, which felt like a good It

(36:30):
was a very old genre show, so I felt good
to be involved in that. That's in Sydney, Guy, I've
been there. I climbed up on that bridge, did yea? Yeah?
They I strap you in and then they you walk
up all the stairs and the wind's blowing you like crazy,
and I was just like, I'm just looking for Morgan,
and they're like, walk to the top. All right, You

(36:52):
guys at Morgan Evans music songs over for you. Stream
it so many times you need to go to your
doctor because you need medicine to get you happy again.
That's how much I think people should stream in, check
it out and then see Morgan all over the world. Basically,
Morgan Evans, Morgan, good to see you, buddy, Thank you
for performing that You're amazing And that is all back

(37:13):
in a minute. This is from the Inzy Herald. This
woman went on six dates a week so she'd get
free food. I think of the energy you have to
get for six dates a week. Though, She's just like,
I don't want to buy a roceries. So I went
out ate dinner, took leftovers home, ate that for lunch.
The whole system. That is wild. Hey Abby, could you

(37:36):
do this? No? Absolutely, that is crazy. What's the most
dates you've ever been on in a week? Oh? Probably
like one. I don't like to, I don't want to
get carried away like that. It's never been on two
dates in a week. No, you mean with the same person.
Oh yeah, No, no no, because she falls in love
with the first one right away. First, we'll talk to that.

(37:58):
Talking to this one first, though. She does six a
week so she can eat. What are your thoughts on that?
That is the craziest thing. It's not just like free dinner.
It's so much more than that. You're like telling your
life story or like getting to know that you don't like,
oh my gosh, He's like, you're dedicating your life to them. Abby,

(38:21):
you do jump in Cannibal. Yeah, I guess it's a
lot of energy to go, but that's if you're invested.
If she doesn't really care, it's not that much work
like this. There's the problem. He's like, you're doodling your
name with their last name so much, so I don't
get it. She just ghosting them after. I don't understand
how you can do that. She's not going out with
them again. Wow, So I couldnt do that. So she
makes ninety five thousand dollars a year, she says, so

(38:44):
she ain't broke. But she says she wants to spend
it on like brought of bags toads, and that's what
she does. She says, she's a girl boss. So for you, Abby,
that wouldn't be the move. No, I would never do that.
What about once? What if a guy you were just
moderately interested in at all and he was like, Hey,
we're gonna take you to Guy Guy, which is your

(39:05):
one restaurant you've been dying to go too, and you
didn't really want to go out with them, but you
really wanted to go to this restaurant. Would you consider it? No?
I know because I am. Yeahs So on a first day,
you gave your whole life story. No, I don't do that.
I do the basics. When I say life story, I
just mean you know the basics. What do you guys believe?
And I'm just honestly, well, she does jump in hard

(39:26):
and quick. I mean, remember she went on that first
date like to get coffee and it was four hours
because she But that's that's okay. Though I've been, you know,
on situations where it's shorter or longer than I think.
We don't back. I'm not going to judge you for that,
but it is a constant theme where you do go
hard in the paint as they say, Yes, um, I
think I'm getting better. You do here? How have you changed?

(39:48):
I've just really worked on Its twenty almost thirty days old.
This year she fell in love with the guy in
the back of an uber? Has he ever responded? Oh? Mat?
Could he ever respond? I have a crazy thing. I
don't want to admit about this. Let's go. Let's wait.
Are we here? Okay? Okay? I mean I didn't like

(40:09):
tell you this or anything, but guys, oh yeah you should.
Is this breaking news? You want to kind of do
you want to hold it for a second? Yeah? All right,
well wow, I can you? Can you give it to
us this this show though? Yeah, okay, we'll come back.
We have to do the pile joke, but we're gonna

(40:29):
come back with Abby. She's got breaking news. She met
a guy in the back of an uber but she's changed.
We message. I messaged him from her account because I
want to spend the wheel and there's some update. Does
anyone know this update? No? No, Mike? Do you she
tell you? Scooba? Do you know? No? I don't know. Okay,
I can't wait. I'm gonna this is a tease for me.

(40:50):
We'll come back in a little bit. Hear what happened
with Abby and the guy that she messaged in the
back of the uber? Oh my good, let's go. Hell
do you live with them? That would be great? Okay? Married? So,
by the way, you wouldn't do you wouldn't go on
a date for food? No, never, And we have an
update on your dating life. Yes, Raymundo. When you guys

(41:14):
flew Southwest and all that stuff happened where they canceled
our Bays flights and I know you sent off money
to be what happened there? Did you ever get it back? Yeah?
So they gave us our flights back that was all
just camped and everything, and then they gave us seven
hundred and fifty dollars on top of that for another
free flight whenever we wanted each Yes, well together, so
we could both probably fly anywhere in America for free
basically four hundred bucks. Yes, so you got your flight

(41:37):
paid for and then you got close to four hundred
bucks each. Yes. How long were you stuck? Like? What
what was a damage for you? I mean that was
the thing. We really weren't stuck because we already had
a rental car, and we already were staying in a
hotel because there wasn't enough room in our parents' houses
where in Michigan? Okay, So and then did you drive back?
And we drove back, but we already had the rental car.

(41:58):
We were already driving in Michigan and do all that stuff.
So and then they hook you up anything else. Yeah,
So then they go they say, hey, send us all
the receipts. It doesn't matter, whatever receipts during this time period.
Send them. So we sent them all in, and uh,
we got the money. They gave you cash to a
massive amount. I want to hear a massive amount on
top of your expenses. So let's see, your expenses were

(42:19):
five hundred dollars. They give you more than five hundred. Yeah,
but they give you six hundred and twenty two dollars
for for what, I don't know, a day, a hotel, gas,
a rental car, all that, I don't know. So you
sent in your expenses. Yeah, but some of those expenses
you would have had to pay even if you want
coming home a little bit. But I mean, we're still
driving the car all over Michigan. And they said, we'll

(42:41):
pay for the gas. It doesn't. Yeah, yeah, so it's
not just expenses from you not being able to get home.
You just send them your expenses for that time period,
which is simply what they said. They go, yeah, as
long as you were doing all that, and luckily we were,
that caught them a lot of money. It was some
people are like asking for interest on their credit card
if they paid for stuff, and other people wanted wages

(43:01):
lost at work, meaning if they paid on their credit
card and they weren't able to pay it back, they
were charge's interest. Oh did you get any back? Yeah?
Southwest hooked it up. I submitted everything and day maybe
they screwed it up on purpose. They get such great press,
now yeah, forgiven. I mean well they eventually ended up
the ones that got me home, so so I forgave
them early on. But they gave me all kinds of

(43:23):
money back and all kinds of points like well points galore,
and they kept me on my A list status. Hey,
I didn't even know if I was going to qualify
for that this year because it didn't fly as much.
But they're like, no problem, you got it, companion pass,
no problem, you got companion like I Southwest, great job,
your Samy's Pile of stories. Bobby, your phone is at home,

(43:47):
You've already come to work. You don't have it. How
long did you last? It's a good question. Do I
have my laptop? Say you've gone somewhere and you've forgotten
your phone because it work, you'd obviously have your laptop.
So you've left the house. You can't go back. You
don't have your phone. How long can you last? You
can't go back? That's to know what horror movie did

(44:08):
this turn it? I'm fine without it for how long?
I mean? That didn't sound very convinced. Until I need
to go back five minutes? No, I'm okay. I'm not
addicted to my phone. I like my phone. I enjoy
being on it, and I'm on it a lot. But
I've given it up for three or four days period,

(44:29):
So it would make me sad. It would be like
saying you forgot your wife. Okay, I love her, but
I could do a day without, you know. Yeah, it'd
be tough, but yes, I'm fine. Why well? A new
poll found that most people could only survive five hours
and eleven minutes before they go nuts without their phone.

(44:50):
Oh I would go nuts, though you didn't ask that
that's like thirty thirty minutes seconds. Why I forgot my phone?
That someone like me. It says that as long as
you have your phone, you can go three days without
your laptop or a gaming console. If you're a gamer,
long my phone? Three that water or food? Oh my god?
Most humans need water when you get your phone? All right?

(45:11):
What else? All right? If you're going on a date soon,
especially a first date, I have some foods that you
want to avoid ordering. Let me play this game. Okay,
setty all over your face Messi's messy and then they're sketty.
That's a good one. Yeah, bean ribs, oh beans, but
that's if you plan to stay over or they plan

(45:32):
to stay over. Onion rings, garlic, Oh that's good too.
And ribs because of all the sauce ribs and buffalo wings.
That's all we have. What do you have? Y'all? Gotten garlic? Anything?
Anything from the kid's menus? Well, I think it's worse
of it's a first date, all right? Whatever? Uh? Extra deaths,

(45:55):
spicy foods, like trying to real all tough because you
might start sweating. I was at the gas station in
Oklahoma last week and they had that hot Chip Challenge
at the gas station. Oh the Pocky. They had a
whole display of the hot Chip Challenge. We did this
a year ago when you had to order it online.
I didn't realize you could just go to the gas
station and get it. I bet people are burning their
mouths up left and right out there. Okay, what else?

(46:15):
And then again, if it's a first date, romantically themed
entres like the Honeymoon Steak and Shrimp Special or the
love Boat Entre for two? Who I would do that?
But on a first date? Yeah, ye. Expensive. Anytime you
order something for two, it's super expensive. Like if you
get the Ribbi for two, like ninety dollars. So yes,
is it? Yes, it's more expensive because it's for two.

(46:36):
But also are they kind of giving you a deal?
I don't think so. It just makes you feel like
forty five bucks each. I would look at the Rebbi
for one and then compare to that. Okay, I don't
think I would do that. George Strait has revealed the
secret to his longevity in music, and he says it's
because he's been able to stay focused believing that he
really is good, like he believes in himself. That's the

(46:59):
number one thing, and then also to be good number two. No,
to like know you're lane and know what works for you.
And he doesn't really stray from that. And he said
that he just always grew up wanting to be like
Merle Haggard or George Jones because bolder they got, they
were still relevant. And that's what that was his goal.
It's awesome. Maybe that's my pile, that was Amy's pile

(47:20):
of stories. It's time for the good news. So this
district attorney and an investigator, we're going through evidence from
cases a long time ago, and they came across stolen
jewelry in a drug case from the eighties. Inside they

(47:42):
found a nineteen fifty six Dupo High School class ring
and the only initials on the inside were PW. Well,
they took to Facebook, started asking around, started talking to
people all these things. Later they found her Peggy Wall,
and she was able to get her ring back. What
if you get yours back and you're like ninety one, Yeah,

(48:03):
this ring, Yeah, pig is definitely older. Yeah, I would
imagine if it's been that long. Well, I'm glad there's
probably some memory attached to it. That's great. Yeah, I
mean something special that we're missing what all those years ago,
and yeah you find it. It's a plus. It's cool
that people will go through that much effort to track
someone down. That's the part I love, and I hope
someone will do it for me. They were digging into
those coal cases. Huh No, man, imagine all the cool

(48:23):
evidences in those coal cases. Yeah, man, think about that.
They should have an auction. I want to go to
the evidence room. Yeah, I'll see what's Some people get
in trouble because they take stuff. That's what they do, drugs. Yeah,
they going, Yeah, they go in the evidence room. Yeah.
I start seen on the Grey's Anatomy. I mean, that's

(48:44):

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
