All right, Megan in Texas, Good morning, Megan, Good morning.
I was just asking I'm wondering how your dog is doing.
So my dog, Dusty is fourteen. He has blood cancer
and they gave him about three months to live, but
he's absolutely healthy right now. I think if i'm predicting here,

(01:32):
allow me to predict. Please predict. They first said he
had about six eight months a bit ago. He's gonna
outlive that. I feel pretty confident there, I predict because
today it's Tuesday, December five, so January, February, March. I
predict he will live through my birthday of April. The
two that was in three months. That's longer than eight months.

(01:54):
So that's what I feel. And this weekend I'm taking
them out on the roade in because we're going to
Oklahoma City and Abill doing raging idiot shows. But he's
very healthy right now. He's got too much energy because
we give him so many treats. He's actually kind of
a jerk, you know. So he's doing great. He doesn't
know he's sick, so yeah, it's tough for me, but
really he's fantastic. And I appreciate you asking, Megan. I

(02:18):
think you're welcome. Thank you very much. I have concrete
walls around me right now. With that dog. That's my
longest living relationship. So right now, nothing except blue skies,
you know what I mean? I think so that's nothing bad.
I'd refuse to accept that's the reality. But April first,
he's gonna live through what they tell him. That dogs.

(02:39):
He's a fighter man. Okay, before the metal walls start
to fall down, I shall hit a button, you know
what I mean, or conte whatever whatever, recognizing people doing
cool things. There's this company called All the and they're

(03:00):
giving all it's unsold fresh food away whenever they close,
like Christmas Eve, because if they close and it's down,
all of its spoils. So they posted to social media saying, hey, everybody,
when we close a four pm on Christmas Eve, we
have tons of stuff. If you have an organization, come
out and get it, and so tons of food which

(03:21):
usually goes to waste because it's a law. Yeah, they're
not breaking the law of it. Yeah, kind of turning
their head to it a little bit. Then a lot
of places might see this and be like, you know what,
we could do that too. Yeah. Yeah. So I think
it's cool and I think it's sets a good example
for other grocery stores. So I see you, he said,
I've never been in aldi. If it doesn't rhyme with

(03:43):
wiggly piggley, I haven't been. Oh, I can take you
to one. Yeah, there's one close. Yeah, how about that?

Number four Blake Shelton on the in the Dogs playing

(04:48):
the Flowers. I was at this music video shoot, and
I'm telling you Blake doesn't have time for still. He
came in, did his part and got out like they
had it all set up. And then a lot of
times people will spend like hours and hours doing the video.
But because Blake was only at a wedding singing his song,
he came in, did a few times, got out. I

(05:09):
mean I was with them times glad, but yeah, it

Ask me how I know Yarts is gonna be on
like an hour and a half. By the way, Darth
Brooks in This Morning with those are your top five songs, right,
now show a right your positivity for a Tuesday as

(06:16):
we do. Tell me something good. God, it's been forty
six years since Dean Anderson lost his wedding ring. He's
playing two in touch in the backyard. Is it missing
since nineteen? And you got a call and said, hey,
I think I have your ring And so the construction
worker found it. I just digging up a sidewalk. But

(06:40):
the band wasn't graved with the initials and wedding date,
and so they're able to track it back. It's amazing.
Imagine that. I'm assuming they're still together because they think
about that. Yeah, yeah, anybody have Well this little baby Axle,
he was born at twenty nine weeks old, which is
premature obviously, and he's in the NIKU unit, had to

(07:02):
undergo several surgeries, couldn't leave well. His parents eventually had
to go back to work, so they couldn't be there
with him in the NIKI unit. So some police officers
found out about this, twenty different officers, and they formed
a cuddle watch and they rotated and were able to
watch over baby ax Axel while the parents went back
to work. So baby Axel was never alone. That's a

(07:23):
good story, and I wish I had cuddle watch you
need to cut? Yeah, I just liked watch. George Vera
has a purple heart and he's an army veteran. Only
problem is he's in a wheelchair because he was injuring
the war, so his home wasn't very accessible. He couldn't
get around easy. So there's an organization that built him
a new home with a wheelchair accessible everything, even a

(07:44):
swimming pool. And his quote is, unfortunately they made it
where I can do the dishes. Also, all right, there's
your positivity, Bobby. Now I'm dreading that iPhone is gonna
be the most soul thing over the holidays, like they

(08:04):
so your daughter and your kids should be here next week.
It's what's just crazy, the end of a five year saga,
Like your kids should be moving landing in America next week.
Your daughter's tin she knows how to use the phone?
Parenting question one? Do you give her a phone? I
don't know? Do I what she? I mean? She can

(08:27):
use it for learning apps or call us if she
needs us, or text me from upstairs. Hey mom, I
can help, Like I don't know. The main thing for
me is apps, like they they love good apps. There's
so many great learning ones are gonna be learning English
and doing all kinds of things. Obviously, I don't want
to be like playing Candy Crush all day long, but

(08:48):
learning apps, well, she's needed to call and she's not
gonna be calling anybody wants. I gotta figure out when
when she's going to be allowed to get an Instagram account,
because she already gets on my Instagram and starts following
some of her Haitian friends that have them, and some
of them, I'm like, I go to their pages and

(09:09):
look at them and they're like these girls and they're
like modeling and their picture and I'm like, no, I'm
fringing right now too. I saw some great parenting advice
on Instagram, okay, and the account was like, here's what
you do. You set up a tree and you put
presents underneath it, but the president's empty boxes and every
time your kid accept throwing it, throw one to the

(09:29):
fire and they're just empty boxes. And then yeah, Instagram
parent there, Yeah, that's a good tip. So you're you
don't have a new iPhone, so they're not getting one, no,
But the thing is, I've been I'm ready for an upgrade,
but even with my upgrade, the phone still seems too expensive,
so I haven't budgeyet. But if I decided to get
the new what is it x iPhone X, then maybe

(09:52):
she can have mine, but on major lockdown. Of course.
You know they're making Facebook messenger for six year olds
now what? Yeah? They well there, it's got a lot
of rules on it now better of us. So I'm
wondering messaging there are other six year old friends? Like
what six and seven year olds have Facebook? Though? Yes
they do. Yes, I know my son seven, and I

(10:15):
can not be your son's been living an orphanage for
seven years, he pops. He posted on my Twitter one
day because he had my phone, and it did like
not make sense. It was a picture of him with
a Grandma filter and like j j j j j
j j j J yeah, And I was like, look
at this, dude, not have Facebook? You're lying. They announced
yesterday they have a new messenger for six year olds. Okay, okay,

(10:38):
I'm done. Sugar Lands coming in and the vent down
head Sorry to day. This story comes up from San Francisco, California.
Hey man is lucky to be alive after him and
his friend decided to do donuts in the middle of
rope with their car. The only problem is passenger door
flies open. Oh no, passenger goes flying out, all caught

(11:00):
on camera and you can hear from the vile going,
I'm hurt, I'm hurt, hurt, I'm hurt. Were you a
doughnut kid? Oh? Absolutely? High school parking lot, out of school?

Everybody's like, man, everybody really know how to do it? Donut? Yes,
and your ultimate right now? You do donut. I don't

(11:44):
at your bone head story of the day on the
Bobby Bones Show. Now about this. They're here there. I
kind of remember you saying this out loud earlier in
the year, like some sort of soothsayer. Wait, so okay,
so okay, let's just go out today. I was literally

(12:05):
got some things I need you to request from the
universe if you're this good. Christian and Jennifer are both here.
Sugar Lands back together, and so they're in studio. But
you bring up a fan I wasn't gonna bring this
up a fascinating point. I knew nothing that you guys
were getting back together. And I say, you know what,
I think Sugland needs to get back together. This is
months ago, and I got a message going, hey, would

(12:27):
you stop saying that? And I was like what they
were like they might be and I was like, okay,
and then I just stopped saying that I think sugar
Land should get back together. And now you're back together
and we should just let it like let it have
been that you predicted it, and but I wasn't even
gonna bring it up. But look, you guys are back

(12:50):
to I'm glad to see you guys back together. Thank
you individually. I've got to spend time with both of
you and like you both love you together that I
ain't back together. So we missed you on our last incarnation.
By the time we stopped working, you started working. Yeah,
so we're not started working, but like you guys are

(13:12):
separately then but to get together. So wait, what's the
whole deal, Like you guys are together, New music anytime soon,
New music is happening very soon, and so I assume
you're gonna go out and support music and like sugarly
the thing now right, well, yes, it is a thing.
Can can we say this? Can we say this? Okay?
So yeah, so this is the first time we've actually
said this stunt. It's like, yeah, we're going on tour, guys,

(13:35):
really eighteen Yes, we are going to be new rock.
There's going to be new music and new lives. Show
that you've never seen a Sugarland show. That's not true.
I want Yeah, I saw you guys a Wark and
Salt yeah right on when I was because because it's
it's a thing, like it's a like no, I know,
it's a thing when we get wound up as performers,
like like we're not able to bigger than we saw

(13:58):
with Ken Esney, alright on, that's why. Yeah, So I
guess I haven't been to a sugar Land show, but
I saw you guys with Kenny Chesney. Okay, if that
because it's going to be awesome I'm not gonna be there.
I'm coming. I'll come to get free tickets. We know
somebody will ask. So all right, so you guys have
new music coming out. Whenever you guys came out on

(14:19):
the c M as it was a surprise and you
guys came out together, was that like Okay, I mean,
how first of all, how much you have to lock
that down? There was a secret tunnel underneath that that
I didn't know about. Yeah, in the arena, like it
was extreme lockdown, Like no rehearsals for for the you know,
for the copy the day before, for any of the

(14:40):
script the day before. Nothing was mentioned anywhere. We didn't
show up for any of it. Nobody was able to
say it. We like drove up right before we walked
on stage, got out of the car literally in the
secret tunnel that I also did not know exist. Um
and yeah, and then walk back off and back into
the car and away we went, and then sugar Lands
back and that night you wouldn't be aid together at

(15:00):
an after party. And that's when people were like, Okay,
I guess they're a thing. Yeah again, Yeah, I mean
I think what we've hoped to do is get people
excited and get rich again, right and yeah, yeah, I'm
talking about get paid for this. Yeah, all right, sugar
Lands here. I want to talk to you guys some more.
But you have your guitar, Christian, I do would you mind?

(15:21):
Is it weird for me to ask like to play?
I guess you don't have any new stuff. You're not
telling us about it yet. So can we get like
a hit from like you can yesteryear? You can for
the days of your from the What would you like
to play for us? Christian? All right, ladies and gentlemen,
he key playing. I'll do like entering music. Ladies and

(15:43):
gentlemen in the studio right now, I have with me
Jennifer Nettles and Christian Bush. You may know them as
sugar Land, and here they are this morning. I guess so.
Because of licensing roles, we can't play anything with music
on this I Heart radio channel or podcast anymore. But
you can't go to Bobby Bones dot com to see it.
We hate that we had to take it down. Wasn't

(16:03):
our decision, but I just wanted to keep you up
and we wanted to keep up as much as possible.
So go to Bobby Bones dot com. To watch her
here whatever you're missing right now, and thank you for
listening to the show, and sorry about all the legal stuff.
Yeah that I'm in the studio. We remember that, remember
that one? So how did that? How does that feel like?

(16:25):
Does I feel like old glove? Like you to put
it back on? Does it feels like muscle memory? Yeah?
Because that's all you guys, just don't you're doing signs
to like lett uh, theres going on right there. So
let's talk about like what made you guys come back together?
You know we have we we had the opportunity to

(16:46):
chat about this a bit ago, and it's interesting. It's
not a big aha moment, But I think the reality
is is we never closed the door. We never said
like we're breaking up forever. We said, guess we want
to go do other things. So when you don't close
a door, you can walk back through it. And we've
always said the whole time to our fans, when and
if and as the time is right, we will come

(17:07):
back and do this. So it was really that the
stars were aligning in terms of timing, in terms of
what we've been doing, in terms of what we want
to do and what we want to revisit for the
fans and for ourselves. I think Christian and I I
only know Christian is like the party animal on the road. Yes,

(17:27):
I'm going party animal, Christian. And you kept the Sugarland
account going on Twitter too. That's how you know it's
something not fully dead. And so socials are, yeah, you're like,
there's something here. Hang out a bit. Can you hang
in a minute, We'll come back, all right, sugar Lands
here on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, sugar are you

(17:50):
guys back in the group to where you can do
liners like together? Like it's like, hey, Jennifer, I'm Christian,
Sugar Like, no problems. I mean, I know we're not
supposed to talk about it. We have been writing songs together. Now.
It was like, hey, what about this? Oh yeah, and
this is the next word, Oh yeah, and then this
is the next line, and I think that goes here next,
and then the other person's like, yeah, it goes right there,

(18:10):
and then I mean it's a little creepy. Yeah, but
we've did it. We we did it so much, man,
we did it for so long and so much you
would hope I mean, I guess there was a chance. Sure,
And then we were curious as to whether or not
we'd be like, well, who are you don't even know
how to write with you anymore? But I mean when
it does, it does make sense that you'd be able

(18:31):
to do it. CMA vocal do other year five times
a c M two times you want one grammys? I mean,
where do you guys put yourself back into play here? Like,
are you like all right, we're back in? Get out
the way Flora Georgia Line, Brothers Osborne, you know, always
so funny whenever we announced, you know, we announced the

(18:52):
on the c M as the award for duo and
and Brothers Osborne. They won, and when they came up
and he said, wait, are y'all really getting back again?
Because this it's and he was trying to immediately asking
that on this day not not have anybody in the
crowd see that they were asking. And then they just
wouldn't give it. They were like they just kept asking
all the way off the stage. We were, you know,

(19:13):
doing the the you know, pat him on the back
because you need so funny, I hope. So, I mean, sure,
wouldn't it be awesome if we just jump right back
in and pick back back up where we left off
but better. I mean, I hope, of course, I hope.
I mean this is I mean, it's like sounds predundant

(19:34):
to say it, but I mean I would I would
love it if everybody is so excited about this that
that it's just like as if we never stopped, or
or even better, so they can sign up on your
website because as soon as you have music and tour stuff,
they can get all the info. Right, yeah, sugar Land
Music dot Com. Check it out. And also on the socials.
You know, we'll be putting on that to follow follow
follow someone already attached Sugarland dot com you can buy

(19:55):
that from. We had that problem early on. There's a
city called Sugarland Textures today and they originally had it
and oh yeah, so wait, so we're Sugarland Music got Com.
Originally this was a big deal for me because and
whenever we started two thousand and whatever, no one believed
the internet existed. And I kept telling to be her company, no, really,
this is the Internet, and they were like, no, we

(20:16):
really don't care. And I was like, look, can you
just put in our contract that we own our own
website and they're like sure, whatever websites are and um,
I just like the fifties Christians like, this is how
fast it's all gone. Hasn't even been fifteen years. But uh,
we kept trying to get it, and I was Sugarly
in Texas kind of a squatting on it. You know.

(20:38):
They just wouldn't give it up. And so we went
and played for the city on the steps. We were
Sugarland and sugar Land they gave us the key to
the city, but not the website. Yeah, that's funny. Come back.
Let's want to play a song to run you guys out,
but come back as soon as you get their single
ready come back? All right? Well, okay we will now

(21:01):
we believe in since that we have no no new
music yet, how about giving us one more one more
song one of the greatest hits, What do you? What
do you do? Now? Start at the beginning? What a
very good place to start, I guess. So because of
licensing roles, we can't play anything with music on this
I Heart radio channel or podcast anymore. But you can't
go to Bobby Bones dot com to see it. We

(21:21):
hate that we had to take it down. Wasn't our decision,
but I just wanted to keep you up and we
wanted to keep up as much as possible. So go
to Bobby Bones dot com to watch or here whatever
you're missing right now, and thank you for listening to
the show. And sorry about all the legal stuff. Man,
that's so good. Holy cow, they're back. Wow, that's really good. Yes,

(21:42):
who's back back back, back good again. That also reminds
me too, makes me think of when we talk about
new music, Um, how much fun it is for us
to come back with the amount of music that has
happened in between not hours, but other people's and and
to watch country radio evolve over the past five years.

(22:06):
It's it's a lot of fun. Um to me, I
think a lot of fun. You've gotten into a rocket
and skip some stuff. Well, it's a lot of fun
to amen. And it's also a lot of fun though too.
For what's allowed now, please, I mean like when we
first came out doing this, there was a lot of
stuff that people now that looks like baby business now
that people were like, this has not heard of. You

(22:28):
can't have I put a rap on a country song.
And then suddenly it's like so I'm what I mean,
you know, like now everybody's there's there's so much that
he's evolved in a way that I think allows for
such permission and so much exploration, And I'm psyched about
that too. Well. I expect lots of rappers on your
boom when I hear all right, Sugarland, we'll see you guys, doon,

(22:49):
all right, thank you. Our producer already has two kids,
a four year old and a nine year old, two boys,
and because of that, we do in the issues with
the four year old because he does not want to
wear pants. Yeah, and it's cold outside, and the dude

(23:09):
will not wear pants. What do you wear pants? So
we tell him like, all right, we're going wherever, and
you're like, go upstairs and get dressed. And he always
comes down with his little sports shorts, he calls them,
and it's like under Armour Nike. He has hundreds of
them because he loves them. And we're like, okay, buddy,
you know, it's like forty degrees outside. They're like, I
don't care. What's the rest of his clothes a sweatshirt
or maybe a jacket, but he'll wear shorts and with

(23:32):
with his like tennis shoes, and it's like all right,
But then now we're going to school and It's like
the teachers like, hey, yeah, he can't be wearing shorts.
He's cold outside. He's like, well, he wants to wear shorts.
I can't get him to wear pants. And I talked
to other parents and they're like, dude, my kid too.
I don't get it. They want to wear shorts. So
I don't know what to do. Like, is that to say,

(23:53):
you know what, dude, if you get cold, it's your problem. Huh. Yeah.
I think you have to force him to wear pants.
And then people think I'm a bad parent because like
they sent him to school when I think you have
to force in the wear pants. Yeah. So I think too,
you have to tell him to wear pants. It's like
he don't want to wear a seatbelt. But my junior, junior,
my four year old loves clothes. Like but it's not

(24:13):
like he likes style. He just likes his under armer
shirt with his workout shorts. You'll wear that every day?
What if you made a deal with them? What's the deal?
The deal is if you wear pants to school, you
can wear shorts wherever else you want, as long as
I'm like church, Yeah, but I think the church is
another thing. He wants to wear shorts. I think you
got short of negotiating with your four year old. He's

(24:33):
got to that age where in the negotiations are there
some under armour like workout pants. You're talking? See, it's always,
it's always a compromise. Does sound expensive? Well, okay, sometimes
you got to invest in peace. Let us know how that.
Go have a talk with them, negotiate either under arm

(24:54):
pants or if he wears pants to school. You can
wear shorts everywhere else except church? Oh my god. Okay,

maybe that's your thirty seconds getting on the Bobby Bones show. Now, Brooks,
they guards here. It's funny, guarth is that most people,
most artists, when they come in the studio, there are

(31:25):
all the people coming first, and they're all like, oh people, people,
and then the artist comes in last. It's almost like
a boxing match, you know, and you know someone will
come at me. And Garth walked in by himself first
with his arms up. We're like, who's the guy in
the hoodie but his arms up? There's a Garth by
himself walking in. That's what I like about you, dude.
It's easy to get around that way. Man. Time change

(31:46):
you don't. That's very sweet. I don't know if it's
a good thing or a bad thing, but it's a
good thing. How about this, but you get the song,
but have those headphones for one second so you can
hear this is the song I like, I want you
to hear you ever heard this one? Oh my gosh,
let's click at you like you go away, like you
go away, and you're like, I'm done, and then you
come back and then you just launch a number one song.

(32:11):
Because it's been very very sweet to me. Getting the
team up with um uh many and Leslie has been
one of the greatest joys of my life because all
of a sudden, now uh music is back at the
forefront of our camp. And can't thank you enough for it.
But it's almost unprecedented. Garth, you decided you were just
gonna check out. How long do you say, did you
check out? And we were the buses rolling ninety eight

(32:31):
and we came back in fourteen, So sixteen years. You
checked out for sixteen years, and then you have a
number one like that. Does I've never seen that happen
in any I haven't seen it happen. If it's gonna happen,
it's gonna have any country music because we're a family,
and it's very sweet. I can't believe you guys have
given us a second shot. I mean, nobody gets a
second shot, and it's been very sweet. The people on

(32:52):
this tour. It's all wrapping up and uh so the
emotions are running really high right now. But again, man,
you just feel great. You feel lucky, grateful, and the
things that you dreamed would happen. This eclipse all by
you know, by a million miles. Well, I like to
take all the credit, if that's okay, Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
and write it and seeing it, but I take all
the credit. And now, congratulations, that's that's really it really is. Aweso.

(33:14):
I'm proud for you. How she got this. I have
I have a couple of these anthologies and so it's
this is a big this is a big thing, like
big isn't physically big? Too, yes it is. It feels good.
People say it's too big for a stocking stuff, where
I guess my stocking just must be bigger than most people.
The anthology Part one, it's a bunch of CDs and

(33:35):
it's I'm gonna I just remember the commercial. I see
commercial all the time, and she's like, there are things
I didn't know. And then you guys go back and forth.
How many times you guys rehearse that commercial? We don't
ms year? Would you don't rehearse anything? Her show is
not scripted anything. You just let the camera roll on
her and try and keep up with her. That's no joke.
How many takes that commercial? Probably two or three takes,

(33:56):
and it would probably be me her she's always this
camera loves her and she's really she's really at home
in front a camera. Me not so much. But how
much is she? Was she telling the truth, like there's
stuff and that she knew everything right and she learned
some things. Neither one of us knew that Tony Rod
of the Dance was the first cut he ever had.
Wait neither one of you knew, No, I didn't know that.

(34:16):
I learned a lot of stuff in this How about you? Yeah, man,
I need to do you learn about you? I learned
about me. Yeah. I learned about Garth Brooks music. I
got to hear from the guys that made it, produced
it and everything, and I never got to hear their side.
Never knew how close friends and low places came to
not happening for us. Never knew until I read this book,
because I I kind of I guess I live in
a dream world, you know my on the last of
six kids, they said I was always the guy with

(34:38):
the rose colored glasses. I thought everything was fine. Never
knew how close it came or not happening on my
second again. So here we go. This is the dance,
This is Tony's is yes looking dude men, this is
the day rideing the song dude dance. He ship for

(35:01):
the Stars of fool Mooning all the wheels rang an
newady that you would have Bucy good Man, How does
that make you feel? Oh my god, it's like hearing
it for the first time at the Bluebird again. It's

(35:22):
just so beautiful. And to think what you're what you're
listening to Uh, there's things in this talent called day rights.
We all know what they are. It's the day you're
writing a song. Some places you've got to memorialize it.
So back then it was boomboxes. You had push a
record and lay it down to hear it for the
first time. And that's what we're getting to hear the
birth of let go, of the artist, birth of one

(35:42):
of the greatest songs ever written. Man, that's crazy to
hear that. That's cool, man. How about you know my
favorite uh G song is Deathing right here never comes
sometimes late didn't night hallo, you can watch your sleep.

(36:05):
Who's that voice right there? That's a that's a very
young Garth on a blaze kind of like task camp thing.
It sounded like CBE radio kind of thing. And that's
this is what you put your day rights on. Man.
It goes. He had a little four track in his house.
He said, hey, man, before you leave, let's put this
song down so we don't forget it. And uh, that's
um that's him playing the guitar, I'm sure, And that's
me trying to put the best vogl ahead at the

(36:26):
time on a very young guard. Listen to that. She's
a lost and peaceful dream. So I turn out the
lad listen to this. It's magic in my ear and
the fuck cross suites my and all this in the
anthology Part one, Yeah, very Haggard. You hear the Haggard
in there, the bad impersonation of Haggard right there? Do

(36:49):
you hear yourself back then? Trying to emulate the things
around you, around you, well, not trying to emulate, it's
just what was in you. Uh, you come here to
this town, you're full of Haggard, You're full of Jones,
straight full of Travis, And then a guy named Alan
Reynolds takes you and starts finding the garth and making
sure that's what comes to the forefront. He pulled me
over several times for that first album and go, hey, look, man,

(37:12):
I know you love George, but you're just you're sounding
you're trying to sound too much like and just be yourself.
So it was it was a cool learning experience for me.
So what do you do then when he says hey'd
be more garth? You just try and be more honest.
If you talk to actors and you're not getting what
you want on and they just start hey, man, just
be honest with me. Let's just talk honestly. Tell me
what you see in me right now, what I'm wearing.
Let's just talk honest And that was Alan's Alans always

(37:34):
was just talk to me, man, Just communicate to me.
Don't perform, just communicate with me. And that's he would
never ever leave until he got that performance. How about
because I got all this stuff, I'm a geek about Garth.
I don't know if you know that's not gonna a
huge Garth fan. So how about what she's doing now?
That's Aldrew's guitar playing. You know that anywhere the day

(37:58):
we wrote it, that's time I saw her was turning colder.
But that was years ago. Let's I heard she moved
to bold where she's now, I don't know. There's something

(38:20):
abound this time here. It spends my head around, takes
me back, makes me wonder what she's doing. Now. Listen
to Garth now th time machine right there. You just

(38:41):
experienced a time machine. It's so cool. Man. I love
the fact that when it comes down to music, it's
just music is just the vocal side of honesty. That's
all it is. And man, when you hear that right there.
I just don't know how you get any more honest
that like the song, don't like the song, but still
you can't deny just the the honesty, the innocence. That's
what I love about that first five years and all

(39:02):
that stuff that I'm playing here from the first five years.
It's the anthology, which is part one of five. So
you're gonna have five of these. Yeah, that's like encyclopedia.
You have acyclopedia, encyclopedias are, but this this, this is
the new encyclopedia from music. Yeah, it's it's like if
you're ever gonna do anything on Garth, what we want
to do was just put the record out there from
the people that actually was there every day. So it's

(39:24):
not just Garth telling the story. It's everybody that played
every lick on those first five records, who engineered and
produce them. They're all their stories in there. So much.
Let me do one more, just because I don't want
and I want everybody to buy this and listen to
it and your experiences too. But I like to hear
what you. I like to see your face too when
you hear this stuff and see it, are you gonna
pick it? I mean my nose. But the next song,

(39:48):
the next song, Oh yes, okay, you wanna pick it?
I gottan I have a much of I'd love to
pick it. Let's see have a whole story with that.
Summer just kills me. Lucky for you, I have already
very good here we go. Okay, so what am I
listening to? You? Right there? You're listening at the first
take of that summer. It's to count off everything this
is about. It's it's it's at Jack's Tracks studio. So

(40:10):
now what you're getting ready to listen to is the
song we cut three months before, we cut the one
that hopefully you know now. So you this is a
cut version that didn't make it right because the lyrics, story,
everything is different. Alan hated the characters in this, and
we're trying to remember these are the two guys bat
Alger and myself, two guys that wrote un Answer Prayers
right before this. So Alan's going, look, you're coming off

(40:31):
un Answered Prayers, and now you're bringing me two characters
that I just don't fall in love with. He says,
I'm sorry. I like the music, but I don't care
for the story. It is the original it was meant
for the record, but didn't make the record exact. Here
we go bad, Start, Let's start again, Start again, Like

(41:06):
it tells she was risk by the ways she shook
my hand. As I watched her and her partner, we love,
began to understand, you're messing up the words here. Do
you know that you're thinking the wrong words? This is
why he did not like this story about at all.

(41:28):
If we had nothing else didn't come about one thing
we felt to say, either one of us was long
heardily with the wong. She came a different song. It's
a totally different song. It's a song about great sex.
And it just wasn't enough, you know. Allan said, come on, man,

(41:50):
give me some characters. And and he sent us back
up to the writing room like we were seven year
old kids, like being disciplined writing. We're walking up there
and and I tell Pad to go, well, there's a
story about this relationship that I had with a girl
that was older in me and the wheat fields, Oklahoma,
bad coach, Let's let's try that. And here comes that summer.

(42:11):
But were her hands, That's what I wondered, Garth in
real life? Her hands? What did her hands really feel? Like, well,
she was a working girl. Working girls already changed what
we're just talking about life, and she had a need
to feel Yeah, I mean what I've always thought. I
always felt garth. And I've said this before. I felt

(42:34):
it was pretty presumptuous to just say you were thunder,
because me I would be like, you know, I'm a
like mist, like maybe I do even yes, and you
signed thunder to yourself. Yeah I had a boy, you know,
I guess confidence the big part of it. I'd be like,
she hadn't need to feel like cloud cover and then

(42:55):
the clouds went away. But that would be my story,
that was your You would get sent back up to
the riding room again to yeah, you know what all
else hits me when I hear this is that all
you guys are playing together like this isn't somebody goes
and plays a drub and that's the first thing. Was like, okay,
start over, Like that's real music being recorded all together
right there, I said. Alan reynolds belief was our job

(43:17):
is to capture the music, not uh create it. We
just play. So his job was to capture and not
get in the way of it and let the players
who are the best in the world that move here
for that reason. Let them do what they're born to do. Man,
catch the lightning from the sky. Man, you you were
one confident dude. I'd be like lightning up from the sky,
like I'm like a pigeon, like flying over Garth. Tell

(43:42):
you what, here's your assignment. Rewrite that summer and let
me hear how you would write it. It It would be
the worst, be the worst. First of all, she'd be
like eighty and she wouldn't She'd like, I'm related to you,
and then be like, oh, man, this again twenty three
and me didn't work. Feel you got a lot of
good leads. So also you got this seven shows. You

(44:05):
got the seven shows in Nashville in a row. There
you're all doing year seven in a row. Kind not
the same days, but seven shows. And so that's it.
That's it. Man. The North American leg comes to it
to it close. Okay, but you just said something there
they North American leg. Brother, So if I want to
go to Chile and see Garth Brooks, maybe there's a chance. Oh,
there'll be plenty of seats open. He's ten theaters, and man,

(44:30):
look at you. So December nine, sixte I'm probably gonna
come to like one seven of those. So if that's cool,
tell you what man you say you say winning where
we'll get your lamb in it? Oh well, listen, I
hope everyone listen to this. There's so much more we
just went over like that, the brief garth, earliness of

(44:54):
what's in the anthology part one, the pictures you've probably
never seen before, even triann scene right amen. Uh, there's that.
You can hear the songs as they were, like day
of we wrote a song. We gotta record it real quick.
All this is in the Anthology Part one, and be
a wonderful Christmas gift? Am I wronging on that? You
are perfect? I'm perfect on that. I'm talking to the
one guy that's probably had a better year than I.

(45:15):
That's not true, that's not this has been a great year.
Merry Christmas, my friend. Thanks for the chair. You know
it looks good on you. It does really makes me
feel very comfortable. I like it. Yeah, I like it.
Like watch me sitting it. Look you look great. Thank
you very much. Yeah, I mean I'm not a guy guy,
but if I was, Yeah, I do think it's it's

(45:39):
it's the chair that doesn't for me. When I get out,
everybody's like, alright, Garth Brooks. Oh, everybody gets the Anthology
part one and goes and checks out Garth when he's
playing Lithuania. That would be the one I'm waiting for.
And we'll go together Garth and Lithuania. All right, see
us soon of my friend. Okay, Garth was in. That

(46:00):
was awesome, by the way. But we have to the
Morning Corny because people just it's like coffee. For some people.
They can't just do their mornings without the morning corny. Amy,
ready over there, ready, all right, here we go, Morning Corny.
What do elves learn at school? What do elves learn
at school? The elfhaet ef? We get it? Alright you?

(46:33):
That was the Morning Corny. The happiest Christmas song in
the world been made by a scientist. It's called Loves
Not Just for Christmas. He has used a scientific formula
to produce the perfect festive tune. I haven't heard this yet.
Are you guys ready to hear this all together? Yeah?

(46:54):
This is scientifically the happiest Christmas song called Loves Not
Just for Chris with hitt DJ other words, doesn't sound

(47:21):
like it. It sounds like a cartoon like right now,
put your coffee in a Christmas cup and the children
sing as a church bells ring everywhere. Okay, every one's
about the peace under I'm into this. I mean, I'm

(47:44):
not in my head. It's got lyrics, tempo, musical, key
and vocals and it's got sleigh bells. I got all
this stuff and turn it up vocal. Yes, drama this hole.

(48:06):
I'm not into that at all. Not, it's not horrible.
First of all. Christmas critic relaxed. Well, opinion, she's a
mean one. I'm not trying to be so Okay, that's
a perfect Christmas songs. So there's that one. Did you
see where the parents their kid, they had the kid
go and rob the jewelry store. Did you see this?

(48:29):
It's it's a crazy headline. That's a sad story. Parents
made their three children still jewelry from Bella Jewelers in Arkansas,
the heist resulting in thirty thou dollars with the jewelry
being stolen. Surveillance footage parents standing guard while the children
steal the jewely store saying thousand bucks. Anyone who finds
the thieves. They're using their kids weapons to steal terrible.

(48:51):
The woman is kind of the lookout why her youngest
son went around stole the jewelry, and so they got
these kids. These kids are traumatized by this. They're being
told to go steal jewelry. That's crazy to me. So
I saw that it would be a perfect segue from
the Christmas segment Christmas Longever. There's a squirrel. And first

(49:12):
of all this town had they couldn't find the vandal
who is turning everybody's Christmas lights out, like cutting all
the Crystmas lights turn out is a squirrel. So they
were like putting out signs like, hey, first one to
turn them in you get like a Hundrell reward. And
someone found a video and is a squirrel who is
nibbling away all the wires of the houses. That's funny, right, yeah,

(49:34):
that's funny. Screws the squirrel, like, yeah, he's hungry. How
about that. There's now a job called funeral styling, where
you know you have stylists. Sometimes the company will say, hey,
you need a stylist for this award ship. So I'm
gonna pay somebody to come in, like buy me a
shirt and make my hair are good. Well, Now there's
a new business of funeral styling. It's called going out

(49:56):
in Style. It's a new business that celebrates live with
the planned send off. They've been styling weddings for years
and now they're they're styling funerals. I mean, it makes
sense if you're into that, if you want like the food,
just ride the decor, and you want everybody to celebrate you.
Death is so morbid there, like to get into the

(50:18):
job of death is so morbid. But but it's more
for how you want the people that are they're leaving
you behind, Like what kind of experience do you want
them to have? I want you, guys, when I'm out
to just be miserable what I have, blown the sandwiches,
and then get over it. Like that's all I want
you to do. Take take forty, be miserable, have some

(50:41):
blown sandwiches the funeral and didn't get over it. Latimes.
I wanted us to stuff you and put you at
the soundboard. Yeah, yeah, I tell you my mind. I
don't know people come to the studio. That's what I
ate as a kid, A whole lot white bread, blowny sandwiches.
But I was asking an interview what I would be
what kind of sandwich? Yesterday I an interview for a
podcast and I'm like, what the kind of sandwich would

(51:02):
you compare yourself to? I say, oh, blonwie sandwich, white bread,
bonie mustard. Efficient, not a lot to it, but gets
the job done. What's the mustard makes the taste is
a little better? Get a little spice to it, like
you never know him? You can get that skye you
this uh styling funeral business. They took a picture of one.
There's a black casket with pink roses, a Lacroix fountain,

(51:25):
adult jan Gabana finale. Look, there's a gilded happy meal
from Shaking Steak. Gummy bears all over the place, so
you can have a gummy bear while you look at
the dead person, and then endless Instagram? Were they shots?
Probably that's not creepy. I mean the Instagram part is
a little bit. No, you want gummy bears by a casket?
I mean, was gummy bears their favorite? That doesn't matter.

(51:48):
I don't want to eat them by a dead body.
Facebook knows that Amy's about to get her kids, which
is funny what Facebook knows about us? Because Facebook's listening
and you say certain words and it triggers it and
then it sends your advertisement. And so we think that
next week Amy will have her kids after five years

(52:10):
of being in the adoption process. We think that her
kids will come to America. We'll be here next week.
So all of a sudden, in Amy's Facebook feed, what
do you see, Amy? An article about some routines that
I can do that will strengthen my parent child relationship.
Now that's weird, right, Have you been searching for articles

(52:32):
or googling things? No, not really, but we've been talking
about stuff and parenting tips. My husband and I have
had multiple conversations the last several days of like, how
we want to parent, how would we handle this situation?
What should we do? There's already some stuff that came
up when I was in Haiti for Thanksgiving that how
should we have handled that? Did I handle it right? Like?

(52:52):
We talked through it, like so, I mean my computer
and phone, they've definitely heard me. So what's some of
the tips though it's giving you? Okay? They to aim
for twelve hugs a day. That's a lot, and that
like washing your hands twenty times where it's just a
little too much and it gives you a goal, but
you really it's like all the water. You know, I
have the big tub of water, and really you're not

(53:14):
gonna drink at all. But it's a nice goal to have. Yeah,
I feel like the kids don't even want twelve hugs
a day, Like they don't. Yeah, I'm thinking like morning night. Yeah,
I used to get twelve hugs a year. It's so terrible, okay,
because I'm terribly satified. The next tip says to make

(53:36):
time for one on one time with each child. So
do whatever you need to do to schedule fifteen minutes
with each child separately every day. Give an appointment. Yeah.
So if you got how many kids, you got fifteen
minutes for kids, So me, I'd have to find thirty
minutes total. Yes, that's two fifteen minutes segments. Yeah, how
do you feel about that? You have two kids? Could

(53:58):
you do that? I like that. There's some day it
is like Sundays when I'm watching football day, like where
I'm like, all right, I gotta stop and I gotta
hang out with the kids for at least fifteen minutes. Like,
so I agree with Sely. Some days, Oh my gosh,
we're gonna be the worst parence ever. Who's we you
gotta mouth in your pocket? Edie already is I know.
I admit that me and Eddie, the parents on the show,

(54:20):
we're gonna be like not great examples for you know
people listening. Eddie thinks he's a great parent. I'm the
best dad ever, and you know I'm about to be
a parent. I have no idea what I'm doing, and
no idea for like my agency or anybody to change
their mind. It's done. It's done. Yeah, alright, Okay. Lastly,

(54:41):
turn off technology when you interact. No way that's gonna
last like a day. What it talks about just making
eye contact and kids will be more likely to open
up and share if you do that. And you know
what the problem is going to be for you is
that you don't know their language and they're gonna be
able to talk to each other and you're gonna have
no idea what your kids are saying. Yeah, but do
you understand that they're going once Sarah Mercy like here

(55:04):
and I've talked to multiple families that have adopted older
children from Haiti that spoke no English. Once they got here,
they picked up English like a sponge that's what I'm saying. Well,
they're gonna be able to have their own secret language,
not bad about unt secrets without you knowing what they're saying.
That's not allowed once they learned. Still, I don't want
them to forget their lighted But if there's any one

(55:27):
on one, if they're talking together behind my back, I'm
gonna be like no, And you know what, I'll just
be like, Sirie, what did they say? Don't do that,
because now you have everybody's going off in their car. Okay,
I'll I'll say, Alexa, that doesn't work. What did they say,
doesn't work? Okay, thank you? Anything else? Ammy, No, but
you make a great point. They already do that. Of

(55:49):
course they do that. I was like, you need to
learn creole and th three years ago when I'm with them,
they already talk about me. I know, yeah, make sure
left out. Huh, welcome to me. Seventh to twelfth grade,
all the other kids A bunch of people spokeling to
in one segment, okay, everybody transmitting across America. I was

(56:16):
reading an article about treadmills. I hate treadmills like I
hate running, but I hate treadmills. Did you know that
treadmills were invented to punish prisoners, they weren't invented for fitness.
Oh yeah, I feel like I read that a while ago,
like something about how if they walked on a treadmill,
they wouldn't want to commit crimes anymore. No, not really simple.

(56:38):
The inventor, William Covett, thoughts of the prisoners will be
physically and emotionally punished by doing exhausting and pointless work.
And so after several decades, the machines eventually became to
health care facilities, and now people run them like crazy,
or people buy them, put them in their house and
they never use them again after four times, and then

(56:59):
hang closed on them and they just listen. New Year's
coming up, do not buy a treadmill. Like, I don't
care if you buy a treadmill, but at least wait
till March. Don't buy it because you're being emotional about
a resolution. So don't buy a treadmill for a New
Year's resolution. Reward yourself. If you make a resolution and
say January you want always putting pounds and you lose

(57:20):
eight pounds, buy yourself a treadmill, then don't do it.
To begin with because you will not use it. Trust
me on this one, thank you very much. Most office
Christmas parties, if you have one at work, they're taking
alcohol out of the office Christmas party because too many
people are doing bad things to Yeah, we used to

(57:40):
have crazy office Christmas parties at the radio Stasion. I mean,
people would just get hammered and people would just end
up with people it shouldn't be. And there are stories
about different people like sells people and husbands and wives
ended up in different cars out and I mean it

(58:01):
was like the Wild West around here at the radio.
Who I mean? And I never drank, I think so,
I don't know. But man, they used to go they
used to go off. Can I get amen on that?
One man used to give out They used to give
out like prizes presents. No, they don't. Where everybody's broke.
Now let me have you seen our studios, Amy, look

(58:25):
at this. We don't we can't buy presents, we don't
working equipment in here in here every day. Yes, so
there's that. Ray saw a six year old kid at
the football game this weekend carrying a beer for his dad. Okay, now,
how do we feel about this six years old? I
guess his dad, Raymond's are audio producer Raymond. The dad's

(58:47):
arms are full. So he had a tray looked like
it was for the families. So he had the pretzels,
hot dogs, also some cokes that he was carrying, probably
for the kids. And so I guess he thought that
the beer was the best thing to have the kid carry.
But I mean it was straight up open. It's an
open container in a six year old walking through the
concourse with a beer. How it felt about this amy
about to have two kids? Would you would you let

(59:10):
your ten year old carry your husband's beer around for him?
I mean she would probably start to start drinking it. So, no,
can they lately drink over there? Hadiot tin? No? Probably,
I mean I don't know the rules, like they're gonna
come over here. I don't know, no, honestly, I actually
I don't know the legal drinking limit there in Mexico.

(59:31):
You can drink if you can reach the bar. Really
good question. I mean, but listen, here's a deal. I'm
not saying I would raise myself the way my parents
raised me, but like my dad would let me have
a sip of his beer or his drink when I
was a kid. But I think their point was like,
you're going to try it, and you're gonna think it's disgusting,
and you're gonna stop asking me to try it, and
the next thing, you know, your lunch box and years

(59:53):
later more. No, I never really liked it, but I
mean I remember my dad being like, they don't. No,
I'm not saying my dad was like the best dad,
but the legal drinking agent Haiti is sixteen years old. Okay, interesting,
So my daughter literally in like five and a half
years could drink That's that's correct, and then literally your

(01:00:14):
son in ten years drink. Literally we're doing a lot
of maths. That also means in five and a half
years here in America, my daughter will be driving. Amy,
isn't it crazy that next week your kids are probably
gonna be here? No, That's why I'm like also doing
this literally game right now that she could be driving soon,
because before you know it, she will be. And yes, no,

(01:00:36):
I'm sort of freaking out because it's do you sit
at home and does it keep you up at night?
Now that next week your kids will be in America
living in your house for the first time ever? Oh yeah,
It's like I was in their bathroom today, making sure
they have like toothbrushes and all the things, like things
that you know when they get here they're going to need,
like a toothbrush. We've just been through this for forever

(01:00:59):
and I and I haven't been through it a fraction
of what you've been through it. But I've been through
it a lot with you for five years. More than that,
you're trying to have a baby for seven years and
you're about to have two kids next week? Two kids?
Are you taking off work next week? I mean, I'll
get with you on that a little bit once I

(01:01:19):
get dates finalized. Do you have dates finalized because you
have a come to it. I have nothing booked, I'll
put it that way. Have nothing booked, but I have
a tentative schedule. MM next week, these kids are gonna
be here, going to come and like welcome them to America.
I'll definitely be there. It depends on the day. I'm

(01:01:42):
uncle Sam costume ready to go, like we should just
be ridiculously again elephants and balloons. So they think that
every day in America is like this going to scare
them at their report. Now, I'm going to my husband
already talked about we're gonna have to like f y
I them that this is not how it is every
time and you come home. What you should do. Let
me give you a parenting tip. Okay, you should do

(01:02:05):
is bring them home and be like, welcome to America
and make it the worst day ever, so then every
day is better. Then they have low expectations. Every day
is awesome, like their first day. Hear you're like this
what happens every day in America? And you just give
them broth right, and you're you're already they have already
had days like that, Like, so that's not the worst

(01:02:27):
day ever. That's like basically they're normal. It's cold. Their
life right now, I feel like for an orphanage, I
feel like they're at a good one. Don't get me wrong,
Like I don't want to knock it at all, because
I've seen some pretty bad ones. But their their life
right now is basically like Groundhog Day and right, but
I'm saying, they're expecting crazy, awesome America and if you

(01:02:49):
don't give it to them, then they're like this is
no good and then every other day is better. Just
parenting tip from someone who has no kids. Okay, I'll
leave it with that, Thank you very much. Show our
producer Raymond, who does all of our audio, like he
did what summer, calling it a ball or birthday move.

(01:03:11):
He bought his girlfriend ray and Bay like a really
nice hotel room in town. Yeah, that's the dumbest, No,
it was. I said for her birthday, it's gonna be
a mystery city and a mystery hotel. And so she
hates surprises and secrets and stuff like that. So I
ended up having to cave in and I gave her

(01:03:31):
the mystery city. I said, it's here in Nashville. Well,
you said mystery city if you're staying in the same
stay like, it wasn't mystery to her. But that's that
was the plan from day one. Get in a car
and just drive and she has no idea where we're going.
That is the lamest thing ever. But you went down
the road, you drove two blocks from your crib, and
you went through the hotel, Like, why waste your money?

(01:03:53):
That's where the nicest five star hotel and the entire
city is. It just happens to be two blocks from
my place. I just would like to start with the
city part before I get to the hotel. Park you
can't say mystery city and it be the same city.
Mystery city is a different city. I actually thought about
like a couple of cities. There's one like thirty minutes
from us. It's pretty awesome. Got some nice hotels Brentwood
and Franklin, so I could have been. My point is Ray,

(01:04:13):
if you say mystery city, it's like you're taking her somewhere.
She's not. She's new to her. I still think the
hotel was a great idea. It was all a surprise,
all great, but it's like going, man, I got the
greatest ice cream for you ever, and you give someone
like a simple soft serve cone. Now I love ice
cream and would love a soft serve cone. If you

(01:04:34):
didn't tell me it's the greatest ever, I'd be like,
holy crap, a pretty soft serve cone. But if you
told me it was the greatest Africa ever, I'd be
disappointed because it's only a soft server cone. She wasn't disappointed.
She was down for both surprises. She loved the city
and she the coolest part of the Uber driver was
all in. I was like, sir, please cover your cell
phone with you addressing it. I don't need her seeing
where we're going. And then he'd like, he would go

(01:04:55):
by one hotel and I'll be like, oh, that's the
Western not staying there. Oh that's the Omni. I think
that's a all our moved to take her somewhere night.
It was so great and he and he even kind
of played along. He goes, oh, is it this part
of town? This is kind of a shady part of town.
I was like, no, hanging right, hanging right, and then booming,
we go over railroad tracks and he's like, hmm, we
just went over some railroad tracks. Boom and then next
thing you know, we're at this five star spot only

(01:05:15):
honeymooners go. And it was I love that. I love
the hotel thing. I love they get it out of
the house and do something nice for her. A plus
the mystery city and keeping her home f total grade
B minus. All right, that's follow with me. Listen, it's
a birthday and she's had four of them. You gotta
get creative, guys. I agree with four of them. I know, yeah,

(01:05:39):
it does sound like she's four, which she's not. I mean,
she's not a four year old. Yes, oh boy, I
think that that hotels is romantic. I have something planned.
I like to surprise this too, Like surprised girl. I'm
God like surprises, like giving surprises more than getting him.
Oh yes, do not like getting them? No? No, as like, okay, sorry,

(01:06:05):
I'll correct my fake news. You don't like that. I
stand by my statement. You don't like surprises, you don't
like I'll stand by that. Thank You do not like
fake news? Me stand by it. I was gonna alter
and be like, oh, maybe you just don't like knowing
if I don't like coming period, you don't like them

(01:06:25):
because you always build it up over what it is.
It's like I got a surprise for you. I'm like, oh,
I bet it's a million dollars in a bikini, and
then you're like that. It's like that's where your head goes,
like what's the best possible thing it could be here?
But like you like surprises, that's the fake news going Alright,

(01:06:49):
that was really if there's just a surprise and I
didn't know anything about it, I'd be like, that's that.
Like that, and afterwards you come back and be like,
why don't you sugest surprise me? You guys gotta quit
doing that. Stop doing that. Thanks suddenly never surprised me again.
But Ray, good work. You still made the honor roll

(01:07:10):
with yours. Yeah, for sure, you just can't say mystery
city and keep her in the same city. Totally get it.
And guess what, guys, I'm still getting text messages to say, Wow,
I was so surprised the whole thing. Phone out this show.
For those just listening, Ray pulled himself one out and
goes guys. Then he pulled out and shows us. I'm
still getting text messages. He liked it. I don't even
think the Mystery City things bad and that's who it was.

(01:07:32):
You're the least for me girl I've ever met in
my life, the least. It's weird to meet girls that
aren't romantic. What's like amy or girls that don't like dancing,
And I know girls who don't like dancing. I'm like,
that's so weird. And so you're in that spectrum. I
know you do, but you don't like you're not romantic
at all? True? Yeah, so well, I mean, unfortunately I
don't know why I am not. Yeah, probably never been treated,

(01:07:54):
you know that pile of stories. Okay, So, anybody familiar
with weight watchers and how it works, because I can
explain it. Um, you take it, and then you lose weight.
You don't take anything. So basically you have a certain

(01:08:17):
amount of points depending on how much you weigh and
how much you want to lose. And like, let's just
say you can have twenty five points a day, so
everything you eat, you're like adding up points. Well, like,
as of yesterday, weight Watchers added two hundred different foods
that are now zero points. Oh unlimited, like a buffet. Yeah,
so say you're you've hit your twenty five point max. Well,

(01:08:39):
then you just hop on over to this new list
of foods and boom, like okay, at um, I saw
corn is on there. You can have all the corn
you want. I love corn, but you have like a
unlomited corn. So no to me, I was like, wait,
and there's really no like nutritional value to corn? Is there?
What else? All the veggies that you want, it's your point.

(01:09:05):
And then here's a thing like chicken in the past
used to have points and now they're saying chicken has
no points. Man really giving us a treat? I guess
it's better though than a rice cake. Thinking like if
you went to like Chipotle and you got a bowl
with some lettuce and h a lot of stuff on
that chicken. Though there's lots of things on that stuff
doesn't account. Okay, Well, any hoosie, if you're doing weight Watchers,

(01:09:26):
then you for you have point food items. Any hoosie.
Amy used to be work for weight watches right now.
I worked for a loss always. No, it was a clinic.
I was in college. I worked there one summer and
people would come in and I was their weight loss
counselor and I would weigh and measure them and look

(01:09:48):
at their food diary and talk to them about what
they ate. And then sometimes they wouldn't lose weight and
they would be really upset, and then I would look
at their food diary and they would be like, oh yeah,
I ate minuto all weekend. I was like, what good stuff? Though?
Hold on for our non Hispanic audience who has no
idea what minudo is, and he would you like to explain? Absolutely,

(01:10:10):
it's delicious. It's a soup with hominy, which is kind
of like chickpea and stomach lining. Yeah, delicious. I think, like, yeah,
really fatty parts of an animal. So I don't know.
I just know minudo is not on our approved food
list it was. It wasn't a zero point. Sometimes like
twicks and Snickers would be and they would be like,
but I only had one, and you're like per hour.

(01:10:32):
I always felt so bad. I was like, I know,
it's so hard, I don't know what to do, but
I can't believe you're a weight lost counselor. Yeah, I
was really only supposed to answer phones, but I got
bumped to counselor. Well quick, alright, what else do you have?
Number two? Okay, did you see the student that committed
to dressing up as a Christmas tree for the rest
of the semester if she got one thousand retweets and

(01:10:53):
she did so, now she's dressing up like a tree
every day at school. That's funny. You know, if one
of us did that, wait for sure you get all
the retweets. Like yeah, her boyfriend still even walked with
her on campus and held her hand because she did
look a little ridiculous, but bestive face. Now all shoot,
And I mean, she's not someone with like a ton
of followers, and she just wanted a thousand retweets, which

(01:11:15):
I think is more than even the followers she had.
But she got like over twelve thou retweets. Okay, this
is something that we haven't ever really done um in
the pile before, but I pulled something from Twitter. I
thought it was interesting. Alright, someone said, Alonso Gomez to
be specific, said, I like how producer Eddie has time

(01:11:38):
and money to gamble on Amy's kids, but he won't
go back and pay that school. Interesting, you're bringing that
to the pile. Why is this in the pile? Amy? Wait?
What is it again? Now that I know you're taking
a shot of Eddie, I need to hear it again
a little more. It's from Alonso go miss Yeah, he says,
I like how at producer Eddie has time and money
to gamble on radio Amy's kids but won't go pay

(01:12:00):
the school. That's a good thing. That's a good Alonso Gomez.
I'm with you on that, because he did bet on
which day's Amy's kids were coming to America about the
same amount of money to pay the school did let
him in the high school football game for free. A
good point than a good story. And lastly, if you're
a House of Cards fan, well, which not many people

(01:12:22):
are these days, but for a bunch of reasons, like
mostly Kevin Space even before that they lost me anyway,
when when when America got weirder than Netflix? So I
was like, okay, I'm done, well, just it heads up.
The Netflix has confirmed the production on the sixth and
final season is going to resume. Inen It'll just be
without Kevin Spacey and uh Robin right, yeah, Robin right.

(01:12:46):
She's gonna be the lead. And I saw her basically
going to kill him off. Good or It's like which
way they I don't know. I'm picturing like a train. No, no,
I mean you said kill him off? You mean fictional
or not? Okay, never mind? Yeah, yeah, alright, that is Yeah,
maybe that's your pile. That was Amy's pile of stories.

(01:13:12):
Everybody transmitted America. Anyone here have their food stolen at work?
Is it? Raymond our producer? Yeah, I've had a multiple
stuff stolen at work, and most of the time I
don't ever get replaced either. I asked around, I'll send

(01:13:33):
out emails, and I still I'm out the food. Yeah.
I remember when someone ate his toaster struddles. Oh, the
great toaster strudle controversy of sixteen. How can I forget? So?
Is stealing food at work of firewall offense? Raymond, what
do you think, Uh, people should get warned, but eventually
you've got to fire somebody or find them or do something.

(01:13:56):
So would you say it first warned them and then
secondly fired them. Maybe a fine. There's got to be
some hundred dollar fines in there, but okay, but then
after that, if they're not learning their lesson, they need
to get let go by the company. According to a
new survey, a majority of workers admitted to stealing the
food of a coworker. Yeah. Yeah, like bring your own food.

(01:14:18):
I've done it. What Yeah, I've done it, But um,
I think the dollar is still in there. I left
the dollar in the freezer where it was like a biscuit.
I think it's still in there, the dollars. He's just
hungry man. But did you leaven Hey, sorry I took
your biscuit. Did you still a feed your kids? Or
just you you're stealing to feed your kids? The different story, Eddie,

(01:14:43):
just say that I'm stealing the people kids. So they
had a whole story about the most liked pictures on
Instagram and so Beyonce was number one. We talked about
a couple days ago. But I just read the whole
top ten. It's basically Beyonce and selling to go him
as his world with a little a bit of Cristiano Ronaldo.
That's every single picture in the top ten. It's Beyonce,

(01:15:05):
Selena Gomez, and Cristiano Ronaldo whatever his name is, Cristiano Ronaldo. Yeah,
like you stop? I know soccer? Yeah, okay, Well those
are all the Instagram So basically, if you're Beyonce or Selena,
you have a lot of likes. Ay the number one
picture at eleven million likes, isn't that crazy? Like eleven

(01:15:29):
million people clicked our heart. Although I'm not much of
a liker on Instagram, come kind of hypocrite. It takes
a lot for me to push the heart. I don't
think about it that I know, but I don't think
about I don't not like things. I just don't think
about liking things. Think of all the likes that you
get and you don't reciprocate. I do sometimes, but most

(01:15:49):
of the time, I just I'm just scrolling real quick
to look. Now I check, you don't like mine? Oh Dan, dang,
I'll do a better job at liking your stuff. I
have been taking a break from Instagram. Maybe I'll post
no you're not. You're about to get your kids. It's
all we're going to see the past few days. I
was taking a break. Oh okay, cool. Sometimes I need

(01:16:10):
a moment. I'm doing what I just Sometimes I feel
like I'm on it too much, so then I make
myself take a break. See, I'm the opposite. I feel
like I'm not enough. So you focus on it for
a little bit. I'm like, oh, I haven't been on
there enough. I gotta focus. Like that day, I got
two good hard laughs out of Amy and that. That's
but hey, with that, let's wrap this segment up there.
Hey here, cheer, cheer, So alright, wrap man. What a

(01:16:38):
