we can learn things from. I'm not gonna lie though.
They're all so good that I learn different things every

that being lactose intolerant means that you have actually a
normal gene where if you are able to drink milk,
that actually means you have a mutated gene, meaning your
gene was altered. I thought it was pretty cool. Happy Friday.

off with lunchbox. Oh, guys, clownfish. Anybody fans a clownfish? Nemo? Yeah, okay,

(01:30):
I don't know if that was ahead. Here's something crazy.
All clownfish are born male, and then later in life
they decide I'm gonna be a chick. They change. They're
all born male. That's crazy interesting. Ooh, I wonder how
they decide when they decide when the same at all
times or is it different? I don't think he has

(01:54):
it literally just says. And later in life they can
decide they want to be a female, and oh do
they have to become the female? There a lot of questions.
They don't have to, Okay, So they don't all go
to female. No, they don't all too Some I just decide,
you know what, I'm not liking this female. Yeah, well,
I just searched it. Every quick and the dominant fish
becomes the female in the relationships classes, so they get together,

(02:16):
they determine who's dominant olallah, and they're parmaphidites, so they
can change. Wow. Yeah, thanks for following up Amy on fact.
All right, here we go, let's go to Okay, So
we are only born with two natural fears the fear
of falling in the fear of loud sounds. How do
they know? Like, how do they talk to a baby?

(02:37):
Heyd let me interview you, like, okay, go ahead. All
other fears and phobias are learned or acquired later in life.
Those are the only two ones that we're actually supposed

Let's go to Eddy. Did you know that koalas have
fingerprints just like us? They are so human like that.
In Australia, detectives have gotten fingerprints at crime scenes and

(03:19):
thought they were looking for a criminal. Turns out it
was just a koala. That's not that's not way. Yes,
it is no way, Amy, look it up. That's her job. Yeah, dude,
I mean I believe you that their fingerprints are probably
pretty distinct and colds are like, all right, Chuck, what
do you think? What do you? What do you? Guy? Well,

(03:39):
it's either Michael Wilson on Third Avenue or Calvin the Kowala. Wa.
It's more like, guys, we can't find the criminal. Oh
you know why? Because it's wow, wow? What do yeah? Yeah, yeah,
they have been confused for humans and cases. Thank you, Amy.
That's crazy. That's fun. That's pretty fun. That's pretty fun,
all right, Amy, fun fact go. One of the headlines

(04:02):
was you might just be able to frame a kowala
for your crime. Okay. So I just thought that this
was really cool and very smart. But Nas you know
he's a rapper, Yeah you know, Yes, by some consider
the greatest rapper of all not a little. He named
himself after Nas jay Z's nemesis for much of his

(04:23):
Yes Go Ahead, so he listed his seven year old
daughter as an executive producer on his fifth studio album
to ensure that she would receive royalty payments at all.
Pretty good? That hare are some songs you may know
by not do you know any song about that's right. Yeah, good.

(04:44):
You guys know that one. Yeah? Uh, Wally, you know
that one? No, okay, Edie, all right? And final, your
final fun your final fun fact. Disney World is twice
the size of Manhattan, which is New York City with
all the building like that's the part of New York
City that you see on TV, all the big tall things.
Disney World, located in Orlando, covers forty three square miles. Wow,

(05:09):
it's twice the size of Manhattan or the size of
San Francisco. Disney World is the side of San Francisco.
Did think that people walk of those every day? Like, yeah,
but not all of it. You don't walk all You
don't walk all forty three miles, right, you don't. And
he's like, I paid for it, I better walk out.
But forty three miles that's what it is. And it's
San Francisco twice Manhattan. Yeah. Wow. He's just blown away

(05:34):
by that one. You look at Manhattan and all those buildings,
you're like, man, that's huge. But it's not even as
big as disney World. It's half as big. You need
two of those, all right. That's fun fact Friday. Fun
Fact Friday. It's the best Bits of the Week with
Morgan Number two. Bobby always shares some awesome recommendations, and

(05:57):
this week he shared several of his favorite new songs
that you may not have heard before. They're not ones
that are on the radio all the time, or maybe
they're on a radio of a station that you don't
typically listen to, different genre, you never know, or it
could just be on TikTok and maybe you don't get
on TikTok. But he shared some new songs that you
should definitely add to your playlist. Number six. I've been

(06:19):
doing a lot of interviews where people are asking me, hey,
what songs are good now? Tough question unless you expect it,
and so they're like, hey, what's so I just start
throwing off stuff that I listened to and I'm gonna
play a few of these. If you go to my playlist,
these are up here now. The first one is going
to be this song from David Morris and it blew
up on TikTok and it's the George Straight song Karen

(06:41):
Your Love with Me, but it's sang by a woman
and it's used as a sample and then he kind
of country wraps over it, and some people hate it,
and some people love it. I actually think it's pretty
good if you get past the whole sampling a George
Straight song. But here you go. His name is David Morris,
and here is carrying your love. Yeah, well, we got
so all I need. And every day's a dream when

(07:03):
I'm carrying your love with me. Mary. I'm gonna play
this a little bit. But if you think that's George
Straight sped up, it can't be right. Oh, I think
that's a woman. I do too. I thought so too,

(07:24):
But don't I heard it? All right? Here's some more
of it. Have you ever been grant? Can you? Chasing
Rules sixty six? Riding Desert Town, Gray Lake and Mount
rush Mo chilling time to ten destinations? Girl, we can
go to places you ain't never drinking bath from up
North and down South, Ocean, satelline half, when the tide
dives down, getting married on a beach, white standing, white gown,

(07:48):
blue skies and white clouds. Tomorrow ain't promised. Start with
goddess right now? Yeah you know I'm down a ride, girl, Yeah,
for the rest of my life. Yeah, well, we got
some I neeting. Every day's a dream when I'm carry women.

(08:13):
I was watching some people and they were like, ah,
this is a new song, new what is this carry
in your Love? And I'm like, well, let me explain
it to you. So but yeah, he's a cowboy, David
Morris is. So you can check it out. That's just
called carrying your Love. Because if you're listening, you either
love that or you hate that. There's really no middle
ground for that. I started not liking it, and then
after I heard more, I'm like, this is pretty good.
I thought it was weird at first, because again, most

(08:35):
of my new music now comes from my wife, who
gets her music from TikTok for the most part. And
she was like, have you heard the song? And I
brought it up and I was like, oh hey, I
like yeah, yeah, same thing, David Morris carrying your Love.
Here's a guy that we had on our show and
this song is so good. I just wish radio would
gi him a shot. Here. This is from George Burge.

(08:56):
It's called Mind on You. I got my mind, got
these boys on the lane and we good through the night.
Got you in my head, I'm looking on the back.
Then jeans on me on hand every time, I got

(09:17):
my hands in my eyes, in my mind on I
got my mind do you? I got my mind on you?
So he told us a story where he wrote that,
and Jason Aldan said, I'd like to cut that, like
to make that a song. And so when George was
convinced to be an artist again by Clay Walker, he
called Jason. I was like, can I have the song back?
And Jason was nice enough to give it back to him.
But Aldan thought it was a good enough song that

(09:39):
he would also record it. But that is called mind
on You from George Burge and I give you number one.
And this song started off as this guy Noah Can
just playing the chorus on TikTok and didn't have the
whole song written. He just played the hook what they
called the hook the chorus, and everybody kept going like,
finish the song, finish the song, and he didn't forever.
He did during the pandemic, and then finally he finished

(10:00):
a song. And it's so massive that other artists are
now one due edding him, like big artists are going, wow,
this is such a great song. And if you've been
in the car with my wife and I, which Eddie has,
we sing the song at the top of our lungs.
It's called stick season and here is the chorus, verma,
but it's deceive an of the sticks, and now sock
your mom. She forgot that I exist. Didn't. It's half

(10:24):
my fault, but I just start to play the victim.
I drink alcohol, so my friends come home for Christmas,

sounds like Mumford and Sons. Yeah, meet meets the grand
old Yeah, I hear that meats you know what you said,
but it's noah, kay hand stick season. If you want

(11:05):
to check that out, let me tell you something. Lunch
Box was bobbing his head to that song. It was interesting,
and he does not bob his head. You never bought you, bob?
Did you bust me bobbing? We busted you, bob, and
you never bought He doesn't bob. But that was pretty good. Wow,

I got a second Bot just played the song. Then
we got two. I've done them. This never happens. Okay,
Noah Kahana is his name. It's the best bits of
the week with Morgan number two. It's been quite the
crazy week with two truths and a lie game. They

(12:15):
are helping us give our listeners so much money, well
the chance to win money, at least thanks to Bobby's
new TV show. He's hosting Snake in the Grass. It's
on USA Network, and they basically gave us a bunch
of cash to give away listeners and let them win
some big money. Like I think the pot is at
forty thousand dollars at this point, may even be higher.

(12:38):
I don't know. I get lost and seeing who wins
who doesn't. But I will say I have been good
at detecting the lie this week and even Abby and
I played a little two truths and a lie on
Best Bits Part one and we both suck at lying.
But that's okay. It's give you an idea of what's
been happening on the show this week. But definitely make sure,
if you have not already, get yourself in turn Bobby

(12:59):
Bones dot com because you can win a whole bunch
of cash. At least gives you a chance. We randomly
select people from online and you could be playing on
the show, not only talking, hanging out with the show,
but wins some money and we all need some money
right now. Number six, we're all with Grace right now.
Who has a chance to win five thousand dollars? Grace,
I'll be honest with you, I'll be so nervous right now,

(13:19):
not just to call the show, but to have a
chance to win five thousand dollars. Grace, how are you feeling?
I feel good? Oh? So good. I like where we are.
I like where we are. Okay, that's a good sign.
That's a good sign. Okay, Grace. Where do you live? Fresno, California? Okay,
Grace and Fresno a town I've been too many times.

(13:40):
I love it so much. We're gonna do this game
where I will give you a little story, Amy'll give
you a little story, and Lunchbox will give you a
little story. You just need to tell us which story
is a lie. There's all thanks to my show Sneak
in the Grass, which will premiere August first, that's Monday
at eleven ten Central on USA. Okay, Grace, are you

(14:03):
ready to hear the stories? Let's go. I will go first.
So Grace, I once tried to solve a conspiracy. We
talked about it on the show before. It was whether
Avril Levine was really her or a fake Avril Levine,
because the rumor was that aber Levine was she was
killed or she died way earlier in life and there
was a new Avril Levine that replaced her because the

(14:25):
label was like, we're still making money off of her.
So we got to get someone out there. And so
Avril and I were at Dancing with the Stars at
the same time she was performing, and I was there
doing the show, either doing it or there as a guest.
But I was there at Dancing with the Stars, and
so I remembered her name as the clone that they say,

(14:46):
you know, the girl's real name that was now playing Avril.
So I went over by her and I yelled the
girl's real name to see if she would turn, and
she didn't, And so I think Avril was real. I
think that was really the real Avril. And so I
tried to save a conspiracy about Avril Levine by yelling
that name. So that is my story, Grace, All right,

(15:07):
we're gonna go over to Amy. Now, Amy, give me
your story. Well, So when I was five years old,
my parents were on a date, so we had a
babysitter and I was playing outside and on my back
deck there was a nail that was sticking up and
I scraped my leg on it. But I mean it
was way more than a scrape, like it hit deep
and I could not stop bleeding. So the babysitter had

(15:28):
to call my parents, they had to come home from
their date. I had to go to the er like
it was a whole thing. And needless to say, we
never had that sitter again. The sitter didn't come back,
or wasn't hunh because she wasn't hired back because she
wasn't watching me. I was out playing on the deck
by myself at five years old, lunchbox. Your story. Oh,
way back when, when I was in seventh grade, after school,

(15:50):
me and my buddy Dustin walked a block to the
grocery store and we're like, oh, we got money in
our pocket, but you know what, we're seventh graders. Let's
steal a few things. So we stole some gatorade, matteries, headphones,
and two Snickers bars. And as we're walking out of
the store, manager graded us and we got busted. I
had to call mom and dad and confess, you got
caught shoplifting. Got caught shoplifting when I was in seventh grade. Hey, Grace,

(16:12):
how do you feel about those? By the way, do
you feel like you know? Do you feel like one
of them for sure is true? Like where's your head
right now? I feel like I remember one of them
from the show. Which one do you think you remember?
I think I remember yours with Avril and Dancing with
the Stars. And it does seem like something you would
do to try to sell the conspiracy theory. Okay, so

(16:35):
that one she's feeling pretty good is a truth? Okay, Grace,
you've heard them. Are you gonna go ahead unlocked? Mine
in is true? Or would you like to kind of reevaluate.
I will lock yours and it's true. Okay, lock her
right there, So she's trying to find the lie. She
locks me in as true. Well, I'll go first, and

(16:55):
I will say that my story is. Do you know, Eddie,
you don't have any of this. No, I don't you
wanna take a shot at it as far as who
the liar is or yours because I don't remember hearing
your story ever. I do maybe remember Avril was there,
but I don't know if you called her by the
fake name, so you wouldn't lock mine in it, I

(17:17):
would not, absolutely not. Huh. Okay, Well then I want
to hold you write your answer down as to who
you think the liar? All right, okay, so Grace has
locked me in. Its true. I'm always ready to write
his down. You in. I'm in Grace. Once behind the
wall of Dancing with Stars, I walked by and there

(17:38):
was Avril of Being. She was sitting there with the people,
and I kept walking out. I turned around and I
yelled a girl's name, and she didn't turn around. And
that's when I knew that Avril of Being was really alive.
You're right, Grace, Light, good job, good job. Now you
got a fifty fifty shot of five thousand dollars right here,
And the whole game is two truths and a lie?
Can you spot a liar? USA's new comp Titian reality show,

(18:01):
Snake in the Grass. My show gives four contestants a
chance at one hundred thousand dollars. The only catch they
have to find out which one of them is ump
sabotaging every turn lying if they failed to snake lead
with all the money, spot the lies, catch the snake
when the cash. Snake in the Grass from here is
August first, that's Monday at eleven ten pm Central on USA.
All right, guys, talk me through this. You have Amy

(18:23):
with a nail, Lunchbox caught shoplifting. How you feeling? I mean,
the nail definitely seems like it could be Amy might
trip on some things and nail. You know, I know
your equal librium feel a little bit off, so it's okay.
But Lunchbox, you know, he used to do the posterboard

(18:43):
trick with the baseball cards. Cover it with the posterboards.
You scan the posterboard, don't see the cards underneath? Then
you got some baseball cards, so did he? I know
he might have shot shoplifted, but did he get caught? Right,
So she's remembering stories of lunchbox shoplifting, yeah, and getting
away with it. It's real good. Okay, I like it.
I like it. I forgot it that he was doing that. Okay, Grace,

(19:07):
five thousand dollars on the line. Who do you think
the liar is? Lunchbox? All right, Grace has selected Lunchbox. Lunchbox,
you are now locked in as the liar. Okay, And Greg,
why do you think that is a lie when it
comes to Lunchbox Because we know as a kid he
was a hoolum and he did shoplift. I just don't

(19:29):
know if he got caught and had to call his parents.
I feel like he either could have gotten away with
it or light his way out of it. Lunchbox, she
has locked you in. You are to her the liar,
and if you lied, she wins five thousand dollars in cash. Lunchbox.
Did you ever shoplift as a kid? Yeah, okay, it's guilty.

(19:50):
Was charged. So he did shoplift that we thought about. Yeah,
and she did remember me going to the store and
putting posterboards in the cart and putting boxes of baseball
cards on the bottom, paying for the board and walking
out lunchbox. Did you ever, I don't know. In seventh grade,
get caught shoplifting and the manager busted you and you
had to call your parents. Yes I did. Oh what

(20:19):
that was the truth? Yeah, it was. There's more of
the track meet. Dustin was like, hey, let's run over
the grocery store. And he's like, dude, we don't have
to pay for anything. I'll show you how to do it.
And so he was like he had a walkman, so
we needed batteries and a headphone for the walkman and
got busted. Well, Amy was the snake. She lied. Well, Grace,

(20:41):
here's the bad news. You did not win five thousand
dollars this morning. That's bad. Here's the good news. You
will come back on Monday show. And now the pot
it's up to forty thousand dollars. Oh my goodness, you'll
have a chance to win forty thousand dollars. You'll have
a one in four chance. You'll be playing against the
three other people playing. Okay, okay, So as much as

(21:02):
that stinks that you did not win, she did so good.
You do have a shot at forty thousand dollars. We
hate that you didn't win, Grace, but thank you for playing,
and we'll talk to you soon. Okay, all right, thank
you guys. I'll talk to him. There she is, Grace. Everybody,

eighty percent of a story and then a little lie. Yeah,

Eddie will I'll tell you a little story. One of
us is lying. If you can pick out the lie,
you win all the cash and you're finding the liar.
Because USA's new competition reality show, Snake in the Grass
gives four contestants a chance at one hundred thousand dollars.
The only catches have to find out the liar. If
they fail that liar, the snake leaves with all the money.

(22:49):
Spot the lies, catch the snake, win the cash. Snake

I ready, ready, all right, spot the lie Patina. Yeah,
now you ten is watching us too, so she can
also see us. We can see her, so part of
it maybe it's visual. I don't know at first. Amy,

(23:11):
when I was twenty four years old, I sneezed and
my back completely went out on me. I could not move,
walk to anything, and I was at work, so my
mom had to come to my job, pick me up,
load me into the back seat of her car so
I could like lay down flat because I couldn't even
sit up straight to buckle. And she took me to

(23:31):
the doctor immediately, and from then on out was a
multiple doctor's appointments and it took me weeks to recover.
So you sneezed and you were out weeks? Yes, okay,
that is Amy's story. Up next me. I met Hugh
Hefner in twenty fourteen. Do you guys know who? Yeah?

(23:52):
The Playboy old Yeah they Yeah. I was in California
at dinner, and I was with some TV executives and
I was pitching a TV show idea. They cleared out
a table next to us while we were eating dinner,
and I thought they were just like making sure no
one could use the table. But they cleared everything off
of it and put a couple settings, and in came
Hugh Hefner, and I thought, like a bunny would be

(24:14):
with him. It was some other dude. So Hugh Heffner
and some other dude sat at the table and I
tried not to stare, but I went to the bathroom.
Later on, I'm in the bathroom. He comes into the
bathroom and it's just us two in there, and he adds,
bandy gum. I didn't know it. That was at the
end of the story. There's no cool thing there. But

(24:34):
I'm in the bathroom and Hugh Hefner say, do you
haven't have any gum? I said I don't, and then
that was it. We never talked again. So that was
my story meeting Hugh Hefner, All right, Eddie. I once
almost died in a hospital in North Carolina. I went
over there for a wedding. I had a staff infection

(24:54):
in my leg and during the wedding and had just
gotten huge, almost softball size. I'm like, I have to
go to the ar So I go to the er
and the doctor said this is really bad. We're gonna
have to admit you into the hospital and ended up
being a week long visit. They said that there was
no antibiotics were sticking, so they had to come up
with a weird concoction of antibiotics to actually kill the
staff infection. They said it was almost lethal, but they

(25:17):
saved me. He almost died, almost died. Was it hurting
so bad? Is that you went in? Gosh, it was
the worst pain ever, because I would think if you're
in a different state to go to the ear, it
had to be really bad. It hurt really bad. It
was during the wedding. I had to leave the wedding
and say I got to go to the hospital. Guys,
they were getting married and you left. Yep, it was
a reception. They had already gotten married. So right in
the middle of Twist and Shower or the Twist year
a man, it was the conga train. Okay, so Patina,

(25:39):
you've heard our stories. Amy, she sneezed and was out
for weeks, basically because she blew her back out at
twenty four years old. I met who have heard a bathroom.
But this part of the story is not that really exciting.
He just asked me if he's gone. And then Eddie
almost died in a North Carolina hospital when he went
to Carolina for a wedding. All right, Pettina, you're there
in Arizona. Thousand dollars is up for grabs. How are

(26:02):
you feeling right now? Okay, so all three you are
quite convincing. Um, I am debating between Bobby and Eddie
as the lie as the lie. Yeah, you're gonna lock
in Amy as the truth. You're you're one percent saying
that story from Amy is the truth. I do. I've

(26:23):
heard that even the slightest movement you could throw your
back out. It it's awful. So I believe her. I
thought you said you heard that story. I was like,
I've never heard that story. Wow. Okay, all right, So
you're locking Amy in as the truth, so I need
you to say that too. Yes, yes, you are what
locking Amy in as the truth? Time Okay, Amy, she
says that's the truth. So we'll go to your first

(26:44):
You're twenty four years old. Did you blow your back
out sneezing? Yes? I did, okay, in weeks. It took
weeks to get back. Oh yeah, my spine was very crooked.
It was almost like this weird. It was like a
twisty if my spine looked very weird. And that's when
I you probably know this part of the story is
when I that's when I started seeing a chiropractor that

(27:05):
would make me put bowling shoes on. When I would
go there and you would you make fun of me
that I was going to a witch doctor. How hard
of a sneeze was this? Well, the thing is, it
was when I was selling granite before I came to
work with y'all, and I would walk around the grant
yard and high heels because I was also in sales.
I would have to do sales. I was dressed up
but doing a lot of walking, and so I think

(27:26):
from the high heels, I just sneezed, and I was
very painful. And I mean I honestly, I've had back
pain ever since. But as I as bad. So right now, Patina,
you got Eddie who's at a wedding in North Carolina
goes to the emergency room almost dies. You have me.
I'm going to a bathroom in California, Hugh Heffner asked

(27:47):
me for gum, I didn't have any? Are you nervous? Right? Now,
or do you feel pretty good about it? I am
I'm very nervous. I can't decide. But Eddie's my favorite,
and he wouldn't lie to me, would I? Well, Eddie? Actually,
I mean we kind of all decided this before, so
we don't need to choose. If we're lying, why don't
we come on? So? But okay, So Eddie almost died

(28:09):
North Carolina. I met Hugh Hefner in a bathroom. Which
one do you feel like is the lie? I feel
like your story might be a lie, Bobby Mike, Yes,
are you committed to me being the liar for five
thousand dollars? Oh? My goodness, I sure hope? So I
hope you're lying to me? No, no, no, hope, Patina.

(28:29):
We have to like say definitive terms, like I pick
you as the liar, Bobby. I am sure you are lying, Bobby.
I like it. Five thousand dollars up for grabs. So
the story is I met Hugh Hefner in a bathroom
in my dreams. That did not happen. A dollar That

(28:55):
is a lie, Patina. It's won five thousand. You're the
first one to win. How do you feel right now? Great?
She feels so great. She's so loud, she's overmodulating her
computer and we can't hear her. All right, Patina, so
you've won five thousand dollars. You are correct. I did
lie to you. The whole story was made up. And

(29:15):
not only that, you're gonna come back, Scooba, She's gonna
come back and play four or forty. Yes, Oh my gosh.
So you just won five thousand, and you're gonna come
back and compete for forty thousand dollars. And you have
two different you have two deer heads mounting it above you.
I see who killed those deer Oh my goodness, I
can't hear him. Oh we lose her forever. I can

(29:39):
never get back in touch, Patina. Can you hear me?
I can barely hear it. It's okay, Well, we'll get
it all set up. She won five thousand dollars, two
truths in a lie. Go ahead and turn her down,

of the week with Morgan. Number two. It was a
good time when Randy Houser stopped by the show this week.
He performed a brand new song and he talked about

(30:23):
his new album that's coming out later this year. Plus
he also shared the jobs that he had before he
ever moved to Nashville. When he was in his like
middle twenties. He did so many crazy things that I
never knew about Randy Houser. He's incredibly talented as an
artist and has really cool style. He also showed the
inspiration behind the style. But he also just has so

(30:45):
many skills from all the jobs he did. So here
it is the Randy Houser Interview. Make sure you watch
his performance at Bobby Bones dot Com number four on
The Bobby Bones Show Now Randy Houser. Andy us talking
to somebody about you were like Randy's coming in and said, yeah,
I said, one of maybe the first time you came in,
you brought a goat and Pete everywhere. Yeah, and until

(31:06):
we changed our studio, that Pe just remained in the
studio for like seven years. Yeah, you know that was
you know that, that whole thing was a surprise to
me as well. Oh well, we didn't know that. Oh yeah,
because we didn't know you at the time. We were
new to town. I didn't know y'all either, and you
were the guy that showed up with the goat, and
so first of us, that was not me. It was interesting.
It was like, oh, I got here and they're like, hey,

(31:27):
we brought you a goat to take you and I
was like, oh cool. We were like that too, this
is how I'm gonna meet all these people. But now
that that's you know, it was so funny. I think
they were I don't know what they're trond doing, you know.
I normally don't just take goats to people. We didn't
know that. We thought you were the goat guy for
a long time. Yeah, how you been. I've been great, man.
I would say that haven't seen you in a while,
but we briefly, and I'll keep your business private. We

(31:50):
saw each other for like seven seconds. I was getting
my car driving out and you were like hey, and
I was like, oh, somebody's going to beat me up.
That's what I thought it was. It was like an
aggressive not like I couldn't figure out if you were
get somebodys gonna beat me up or somebody was like
trying to catch me before I drove off. And you're like, hey,
that's what I was doing. Yeah, yeah, you know, but
I think I probably say it like that to everybody anyway.
I don't know, let me say it gets scary, Yeah,

(32:11):
it's scary. Yeah. And so it was good to see you.
I know we were we only had a few seconds
to say hello, but you know, we haven't had you
in here in a while. I do see you tagged
a lot of Instagram stories from people that are like
at your shows yeah, because they're like, it's a religious
experience at a Randy Houser's show. Oh we have a
good time. I mean, I'm very passionate about what I
do and making music, and you know, I mean, I

(32:33):
don't know what, I know how it makes me feel.
You know, I love what I'll do for a few
years now. Anytime I've seen you even a picture online,
so and you're I would say, my buddy John Party
is too. But you guys are real life cowboys, so
you wear grew up that way. Yeah, but it's kind
of hard to be a cowboy in West Meat anymore. True.
But I would say it's like riding a bike. Haven't

(32:54):
wrote a bicycle in a long time. I'm still a
bicycle rider. Yeah, but the hat, it's kind of cowboy yeah,
but also like kind of cool. Yeah, you know, I
have steps and makes me his hats, but they're kind
of made like, um my granddaddy would take like fedor
style hats like that, and then he was a cattleman,

(33:15):
you know, he was a cattle buyer, so he would
he would still shape his for doors like a cowboy hat.
So I just kind of like got that from him.
That's cool that Yeah, it's because something different. I like
to love something you get from tradition to your family,
you know, do you switch it up? Because I was
going to dinner with Party. He was like my only
close friend, whars the cowboy had all the time. Yea,
we were going to dinner and I was gonna be funny.

(33:36):
I'm wear a cowboy hat too, because he wears it
everywhere and it doesn't matter what's it? And it's he's
a big guy in a cowboy hat who talks loud.
And I was like, screwed. I want a cowboy hat too,
So I put one on. It was winter. I put
one on and it's a just you know, straw cowboy. However, yeah,
when we show up and he's he's like, you can't
wear that we that, I'm like, what are you talking about?
He goes, you got to wear a felt in the winter.
I'm like, bro, I don't. I was just doing this

(33:58):
to be funny. So then he got me a felt one,
which I've never wore. Really do you switch it up
at all? You wonderful? It just depends. Well, if I'm
like outside, you know, like just at the house or whatever,
most of the time I wear a straw hat, but
like if it comes to doing a show, I'm always
in a felt had I like it. I like it.
Randy Howser is here. So we got some new music here,

(34:18):
I mean I got the album doesn't come out to
new uh November? Is that right? So, but you're putting
out music at a few songs out let me play
some of still that Cowboy speed Cowboy that? So was

(34:39):
that written? And I know you you co wrote every
song that's coming out on this record. Yeah. Was this
song at all toward your wife? Absolutely? Yeah? This the
idea sort of came from. It was like, you know,
I mean I think i'd just gotten home and I
and you know, we were in bed, and I looked
over and I was watching her sleep, and you know,

(35:02):
just the interesting thought of I wonder what she's thinking
about or what she's dreaming about right now, and I
hope it's me. You know, this kind of that kind
of thought hit me, you know, and I was just like,
that's kind of where that idea for the song came from.
And like two days later, my buddy Josh Hogan Matt
Rogers came over and we wrote it. See hold onto that.

(35:23):
Do you write it on your phone? Do you just say? Yeah?
I keep like notes of ideas in my phone all
either home stuff in there, and like in voice recorder.
I'll get in notepad and just write out like you know,
type out some like ideas or something like that. And
then mostly and I write, like you know, I don't
write all the time. I like one of those guys
it writes like when it I go in writing like seasons,

(35:46):
I'll write like, um, when it's time to start making
a record, I'll just store up all my thoughts and
then just sort of go for it because I can't.
I don't know. I'm not one of those people that
do well writing on the road. I just don't. It's
like a separate thing for me. Somehow. Those are your nuts,
squirrel nuts, squirrel nuts nuts. And it goes and yeah,

(36:08):
there's a song that it's out now, it's current single,
and I know we could play a clip of it,
but instead of that, I know you have your guitar here.
Would you mind performing a little bit of a note
to sell for us? I'd love to now before you
play it here, So walk me through, um, what this
song means to you and why you wrote it. Yeah. Um,
so you know, with like a lot of people that

(36:29):
do what I do, the um, the pandemic gave me
not only an excuse but forced me to be at
home a lot more than I can remember being home.
I mean it's a you know, I don't before the pandemic,
I can't remember being at home more than like two
weeks at a time. And so it also it did

(36:52):
a lot of things it, Um, you know, it gave
me a chance to experience a lot of things that
like I wouldn't have experienced, like my little boy Huckleberry
starting to walk, things like that and seeing that, and
and most likely I would have been on the road
had you know, had that nothing happened. And so it
just gave me a chance to be home and sort

(37:12):
of evaluate and reevaluate decisions that I've made years ago
and h and also taught me what it means to
be like a home dad and a home husband and
all those things which were which to me was like
very foreign. You know. It was like, you know, most
people want to admit that to do what we do,
but we're gone all the time, you know. Um, So
it was a really cool experience in a lot of ways.

(37:34):
It was also very unwelcome in a lot of ways,
but um, totally fitting for the time. And we just
finished finished writing at that day and I recorded it
at my house and we just went for it. Here
is Randy Howser playing note to self here on the
Bobby won't show a note to seven. The truck only

(38:06):
goes so far on half a time. That credit card
ain't money in the bank. If it don't sound like
a good idea. It probably ain't a note to seven.
You can't change a where she's gonna change her mind.

(38:30):
She might love you, she won't like you all the time.
Instead of taking her for granted, take her somewhere nice.
Note to sell a love ain't diamond rings figured on't
always mean better. The grass ain't always green. Money don't

(38:54):
wrong trees ever can make somebody be made for you.
It ain't gonna do the praying for you, which just
must left to their wrong shoe. You're gonna have to
find the answer somewhere. Note to sing, not to sund

(39:24):
A truck only goes so far on half a time. Ah, Randy, Randy,
I want to play some a working Man, which you
wrote with Randy Montana to Randy's in room. No sounds
confusing with double team, Yeah it sounds. So here's some
a working man. Here you go, always looking foreshine oft

(39:46):
the totle of the working man, y'all that stuff. When
it hits a fan to roll down to you and
lands on the working man, Randy, can you list and
we'll talk about jobs from when they started to take
taxes out because you know, I molded a lot of yards,
a lot of stuff young. But when they started taking

(40:06):
taxes out the government did. Can you list your normal
jobs before you became Randy House with a famous musician? Yeah,
go ahead, Okay. My first job was obviously, you know,
grew up in Mississippi. We grew up raising chickens. We
grew up in chicken houses. So working in the poultry
industry to put did you always think because we grew
up on chicken houses, I mean you're an Arkansas. I

(40:27):
definitely had a chicken out. It smells selling. That's what
we always okay, okay, all right, chicken houses? What else? Um?
After that, I was a bus boy at a at
a place called the Back Forty after that, I went
to work at Lazy Boy doing what um, driving on forklift.
And then let's see, I went to were you good

(40:49):
at that? Yeah? And I asked because I drove forkliff
a little bit at hobby Lobby and I just was
bad at backing up because you got to the opposite. Yeah,
it's that whole, not the back wheels, turn the whole,
it's that whole thing. But you were good, Okay. I
wasn't good. I didn't get to do much was I mean,
you know, But here's the thing. I hated every job
I ever had until I was was able to play

(41:11):
music for a living, because this all I ever wanted
to do. What job did you get to quit to go?
I finally get to go do music now full time?
I quit all of them, No, no, but no. And
then I worked at a steel mill. I worked at
Magnoli Steel and then I worked at a music store.
That's the one I quit when I moved to Nashville.

(41:31):
I was twenty six before I moved to Nashville, which
is pretty pretty late. Yeah, pretty late. So what were
you doing at the music store just whatever, hanging out
tuning guitars or whatever? In Meridian, Mississippi? And Meridian? Were
you the guy that was really good at music? The
local guy that was really good at music? I was
one of them there. When I was there, there was
a lot of Still I always grew up playing with

(41:54):
guys that were like twenty years older than me, because
you know, it's kind of like the band scene kind
of disappeared a lot of ways. But um yeah, I
was one of those guys. But um yeah, I'll quit
that one. To move here. It's a risk, right, I mean,
especially if you've been having to pay the bills and
now you're gonna go and do something creative where there

(42:16):
is no stability whatsoever, Like what what kind of kicks
in the butt to make that move? I don't know.
I think it was just like I literally was, um, okay,
I'll tell you what it was. There was a um
what was that song Tammy Cochran song that was about
um they go whoa, no, no, no, no, not like this.

(42:39):
We'll have to look it up, but I'm just drawing
a blank on it. But I heard this song and
it was all about life happening. That was the name
of the song. If you go back and listen to it, Um,
the song is all about these three characters in the
song that they're their their dreams were passing them by
by just getting the bills paid and doing it. And
I heard that song and it literally that I can say,

(42:59):
the song literally changed my life. I went, well, not
happening to me, and so I just packed up and
I had like this little like a ninety two Mercury
c Cougar, Mercury Krueger and uh and I just um,
I rolled out and it broke down on me. The
first week ill was in Nashville. How long did it take?

(43:20):
Was it a year multiple years before you could actually
make enough money to pay all your bills making music? Um,
I got I'd say I got lucky, but um, you know,
luck is built on hard work, I think. But when
I got here, I brought a you know, like a
pocket full of song and I um, I went to

(43:44):
I knew a couple of people because Derek George, who
produced like How Country Feels and Moonlight and all that stuff,
was from Philadelphia, Mississippi, and I knew him. And he
took me to this publishers m. Steve Marklin who had
he was running this place called wind Sweat, And they
end up signing me like a month after I've been
in town as a rider. Rare, Yeah, it was. It

(44:06):
was very rare. I couldn't hold back the talent. They
smelled the Chickenhouse coming to town. They were like, this
guy's got something. Well, I don't know. I mean, it
was just one of those but though, and also that
was a different time people. As a songwriter, you could
get signed a lot quicker than those days. I feel
like than now. Let you didn't have to be a
TikTok star then you say that, and I feel a

(44:27):
little uh and I feel like you'd like TikTok that
much when you say you'd have to be a TikTok star.
I love TikTok. I love watching people's TikTok. You don't
want to make them, I don't want to make them. Well,
let's do a dance right now. So all right, listen,
Randy House has got an album coming out in November eleventh,
and that is a while away, and I'm sure when
the album comes out, I'll talk to you again. I'd

(44:48):
love to have you back when the album comes out.
So there are a lot of songs that are coming
out on the record, But what I don't want to
talk about now the three that people can get right
now because that's why they're listening. Right So, you got
still that Cowboy, you got wor come in, and you
got note to self all the rout right now? You
are going on the row of Cody Johnson. I am
that is quite the vocal show crap. Yeah, that's gonna

(45:10):
be awesome. I'm a big fan of Yeah um so
a Scooba Steve. He like cries every time in the
song plays. Really Yeah Scooba State It's like, here's any
at Randy Howser on Instagram and Twitter. Do you have
a TikTok I do? Yeah? Is your label? They're not
making you do TikTok yet. I'm not. I can't be
made to do much. But I think the most fun

(45:31):
I have with TikTok TikTok is them trying to get
me to do stuff and just go on noope, Yeah.
What you do is you get in your car and
you turn a song on the lips. But but and
you start a song and then you know they point
at the words. But instead of doing that, when the
first world pops up, be like, ain't doing this crap
and then turn the TikTok off. That's a great one.
You can have that free charge done, all right, Randy Houser,

(45:52):
You guys check out the new music. The record comes
out in November, and when it comes out, we'd love
to see again Jessica. Great to talk to you, great
to see you in Thank you. He sounds great. I
mean anything you guys want to say that Randy while
is here. I mean, I wish I could wear a
handkerchief like he does. I can't even post sports at already.
I already understand how it looks so cool and one
and like normal normal. He looks normal in one, And

(46:12):
if I put one on, I think people think I
have a cold or something. I don't know what the
situation is. Do you ever wear a red one? No?
These little blooms? I probably I did him. I did
quite him for wire for a while after whenever the
pandemic kicked in, and then Coachell will happen and everybody
in the world started wearing I was like, I'm out,
you know, when it got cool like hip, Yeah, I

(46:33):
had to had to get rid of. Same thing with
TikTok He was on TikTok go before anybody knew it.
That's the thing. So all right, Randy Howser at Randy
Howser on Instagram and Twitter and the records out in November. Randy,
good to talk to you, buddy, you too, Thank you
for having It's the best Bits of the week with
Morgan number two quite the controversial topic. Eddie has shared

(46:54):
that he wants to get his boys a basketball hoop,
but not one in their driveway. No no, no, that'd
be too easy. They want to do it in the
cul de sac, which means getting all of the neighbor's approval,
so you can hear what the show hat thoughts on
if it was a good idea. You can also check
out all the Bobby Bones show socials. There were so
many listeners that had lots of opinions on this topic.
And I'm gonna tell you it's about fifty fifty fifty

(47:16):
believe Eddie should do it. In fifty believe not a chance.
So listen. Now see where you fall. Number three, Eddie,
what's happening in your neighborhood? Man, I'm in a pickle
because we live on a street that's kind of slanted,
like the driveway is it a slam? But the boys
want a basketball hoop. I'm like, guys, you can't play
basketball in our driveway. It's not possible. So they're like, oh,

(47:36):
we can't play basketball. I said, why don't we do this?
Just down the street, there's a coul de sac. There
are five houses. We don't know who lives there, but
go knock on the door, ask them if that's okay
if we put a basketball hoop on the col de
sac and we'll let the whole neighborhood play. We just
got to get an okay from the people that live
in the coul de Sac and they're like, no, Noah,
that's so embarrassing. I'm like, guys, this is a genius idea.

(47:58):
I'll pay for the hoop. I wouldn't these people want
a basketball hoop in front of their house. So does
it stay up all the time or does it just
stay up whenever you guys are playing. No, it'll be
like a professional basketball hoop that it's a permanent hoop,
permanent hoop that the whole neighborhood could create in No.
But it's gonna be in the cul de Sac, right, Yeah,
So it's gonna be with a base, a weighted base. Absolutely, Yes,

(48:19):
you put like sand on it, cement whatever sement. You
think they're gonna go for that. I don't know, but
I'm saying, guys, you think that's a decent idea. I
think it's a fantastic basketball goal in front of their house.
Because I've seen like two kids living in some of
those house. I don't know who lives in the houses,
but I've seen kids ride their bikes around that cul
de Sac. So I'm assuming if kids live there, they're
gonna say, yeah, that'd be awesome. You wouldn't need all

(48:41):
five of those families correct to say yes and that
they're okay with the basketball where kids are gonna be
gathered in that col to sack. Now we can set hours, Hey,
no dribble, no no b ball after ten pm or
nine pm whatever, forest you're not gonna be down there
to do. And maybe I'll go down and be like,
all right, guys, parks closed, this is my hoop. No
maybes you wouldn't. I just don't think you can do that. Really,

(49:02):
I don't even it's not your part of the street.
It'd be like you parking your car down there and
just now you could you could park car on that
curb and just leaving your car down there though, because
it's legal. But is it acceptable as a good neighbor.
I don't think it is. So you say five, you
gotta get five o'kays from the people that live in
the cold to second. Now, what if four say okay

(49:23):
and one done? No, that's it. I wouldn't even ask you.
I wouldn't say you wouldn't send your kids to go
ask I think it's showing them responsibility to be like
door to door. Hi, I'm a kid that wants to
play basketball, if your idea is to show them responsibility,
and you know they're gonna get a no. I don't know.
I think they're gonna get a yes. Though. Is there
any chance all five never say please put a basketball
hoop in front of our front yard where kids will

(49:44):
be gathered the whole time? I say yes, Okay, I
think there's no chance they're gonna they're gonna say yes,
But I go okay. The question is, do you think
they'll allow it? I go no. I mean I hope
so for the sake of the kids. But there's probably
gonna be one person that's not down with it. So
you're gonna say no, Oh, one grinch. I'm gonna say yes.
You gotta send the kids. You send dad. They're gonna

(50:05):
say no because some old man is at my door
the kids. It's hard to say no to the kids.
But if you it's a permanent hoop. It's a permanent hoop, dude.
But it's open to the neighborhood. And I told him, guys,
if you're gonna pay, I don't want something in front
of my yard that's open in the neighborhood for everybody
to just be like this is a gathering place. Really,
I would not want that. Even if it's kids. How
enjoyable are kids playing outside it's nine or younger. I

(50:28):
don't want a fourteen year old that's also looking at it,
and then they're gonna play some two on two the
older kids the young kids can't play. I just think
it's a bad situation. Who get what if two groups
show up at the same time and want to play,
like who gets the court? Oh that's tough. Then they
come to me. I'll go settle the dispute. Maybe I'm
the marshal dude. Maybe I'll put my address there. Come
to me and I'll tell you you can play or not. Okay,

(50:49):
it's like a lock on. Are you gonna send them down?
I've tried to, I've already. This has been two weeks
in the making of Like, guys go and then I
don't even think they should do it. If I were
the person and add kids, I wouldn't allow it. I
tell you. I was walking the dog and I saw
one parent outside water in their plants, and I was like, ooh,
should I ask for him? But like, no, no, no,
I'm not gonna do my kids work for him. You
guys go to Facebook. Here's a situation and he wants

(51:09):
to put a hoop and somebody else is called a sack.
That's it, but he's gonna pay for the hoop. Hey,
I'd put it on. I put it on my kids,
but I can't. It's a slant. I can't do it. Well,
thank you, thank you. On flat point. It's the best
bits of the week with Morgan. Number two, Lunchbox is

(51:30):
finally having some good karma on his side. He got
some exciting news about a potential acting opportunity last week,
and this week Amy shared some big news for him
about her sister's TV show. You know, he DMed her
trying to get on her show. Have a crazy idea
that they could fix the roof in his house while
also doing some other things, and he'd be a celebrity

(51:51):
episode that they could do well. Something may have just
panned out, I don't know. Amy got an email and
she shared it with Lunchbox on the show and he
kind of freaked out. He was joked, Number two, today
is your day, Lunchbox, my day, Today is your day?
What did I do? Breaking news hit that clout. Lunchbox
has his hands in the areas ready for Amy. It's
your story to tell. Okay, Well, first, I guess I'll

(52:14):
just start off by saying, Lunchbox mentioned the other day
had this whole pitch called my sister about being on
her HGTV show called Building Roots. Yeah tell me more so, Well,
whiter sided that first, because Lunchbox told your sister that
he had some news about you. He DMed her and said, Hey,
I have a surprise for Amy. Can we talk? Send

(52:35):
me your number? Hey tricked her and then called her
and said, Hey, my house has problems. Can you fix it? Yeah?
I got holes in my roof. And then while you're here,
I can read into a new kitchen. You know. Redo
the Master lied to her, and then you I lied
to her when I slid into the DMS to get
her number. But it was all in a good positive way. Yeah,
and so wasn't. Anyway, my sister revealed to him, like, hey, Lunchbox,

(52:57):
we don't even know if we're getting a season two,
and honestly I don't know either. But what I do
know is I got an email from a producer that
heard the segment. You got to make your own breaks
in Hollywood, people, This is what we do. This is
not Hollywood, but I get it. Yes, Colorado and Nashville,
but yes, yes, you guy, it is to look go ahead, flucks.

(53:22):
Don't get ahead of yourself here because I don't know nobody.
So I just opened up my email and an executive
producer named Michelle emailed me. And executive producer. That's huge
and a little back not just not just measley producer,
executive producer measly producers all the time that money executive
hits in. Oh it is real. Some backstory is you know,

(53:44):
similar to lunch Box. Like when I found out my
sister and her husband has shown HGTV, I'm like, well,
I got stuff at my house i'd like to have done.
So months ago, we my sister was visiting and we
were talking about different things, like how cool would it
be if, like, you know, you'll do a project at
my house in Nashville. But I hadn't heard a pete nothing.
Well then Lunchbox talks about it, and I guess the
produce to heard it and this is the email that

(54:05):
she sent. Oh yeah, oh yeah, hi Amy. I was
cracking up laughing over Lunchboxes comments on the show Needing
Ben and Christie's help on his own home. I would
like to pitch a traveling Nashville episode of Building Roots.
Come on, yeah, I got the trailers and out featuring

(54:26):
your home renovation and possibly lunchboxes home repair. If you
think he might truly be interested, I wasn't sure if
it was just quote radio talk. Are you truly interested?
Let's go, let's start knocking downs and walls, move that out.
And so I guess with the I mean, I have

(54:47):
no idea because I haven't replied, and I don't know
if with this pitch it would mean yeah, I would
just be like some weird you know, one off episode
if they don't get season two or is this only
if they get season two? So we I don't know,
and I don't even know it to fly at my
sister's out of the country. What do you wanted to reply? Lunch,
let's go, we're all in. Let's go, we're all in. Yeah,

(55:07):
let's get some Remoelan said that I could connect you
with her directly so she could gage you want to
be connected up connected to tell let's go, Yeah, I gotta.
I got to her surprise for Amy, and you guys
thought I was crazy when I said a special episode.
You're like, oh my gosh, that's so stupid. Lunchbox guys.
I know how producers think. Listen this. They think this

(55:27):
is great TV. What would you do your house? Oh,
I mean, fix the holes in the roof, redo the kitchen,
put a nice screamed in back porch, redo the master bath. Um,
maybe add like a man cave. I mean we got
all sort of man cave. I don't know. I add
onto the back of the house, I don't know. On
top of it where it build a tree house for

(55:48):
the kids. I go, we're like eight shows in one here.
Holme on, because I saw one of their episodes they
put a slide from the back deck to the ground
for some kids. So build my kids something. Let's go.
How excited are you? One to ten? Ten? I mean
this is great. This is how you make things happen.
I've been dreaming about this, about being on TV, being

(56:10):
in Hollywood, and it is starting to come true slowly.
And surely didn't they do a remodeling show right next
to your house? One? Yeah, they did Property Brothers right
next door. And what do you think about that? Awesome?
So jealous? Like I was so mad at my neighbors.
But they were new neighbors. I didn't know them. Then
they they bought the house, they got on the property, brothers,
they get on it. They applied and then that's it.
They just come and they do all their house. Yeah,

(56:31):
and then that's his it, that's it. And then they
have a new house and they didn't get they weren't
able to live there. Why they did it. But I
can move somewhere while they dow my house. Day. This
is great. You know on these are you are? You?
Are you? Now? Will you say hey, good job on
the lie? Like I'll never say a good job on
the lie. But here something you may not know. You know,

(56:53):
you have to pay for it, right, pay for what
they don't pay for everything. You have to pay for
your own They just do it on TV and give
you like the labor for free. You have to pay
for everything. Huh, Well, we can work something out. No,
there's no working it out if a right is like
trying to get endorsements, like I mean, you could try
to work something out, but I don't know how. I

(57:16):
know exactly how, Like hey, look, oh, you know they
did his kitchen and they got their supplies at R
and B pot. No, that's not how it works on
the show. You can't I can't show and you can't
make deals for this show because we have our sponsors, right,
I mean, and you have to pay on the show.
You have to pay for it yourself. The propulos a
recommend to pay for it, all right, that's fun. Yeah,

(57:38):
Oh so you're gonna pay for the slide? The man
came to the roof to be done. Yeah, I think
you probably scale back on what you have to tell.
He's like, I'll take some shingles, yeah, yeah, a little paint.
Do you still want them to come? Absolutely? Okay, go
on your desperation to be on TV? Will you past
you a lot of money? Yeah? You know, I'll make

(57:58):
it up on the back end of what tours tours
or people will see me and be like, oh man,
we need him for our show, you know what I'm saying. Like,
so it's an investment. It's an investment. You get on
like three hundred thousand dollars. Oh, the investment. But but
does some of his insurance cover it? Because it's three
damage to self. I'll hit the bank. You go take
out a loan to be on the show. Absolutely, how

(58:20):
you're saying, now, you're gonna take out a loan to
be on the show. Okay, okay. Another thought that I
had is that Lunchbox hasn't been incredibly kind towards the show.
It's not good and they're not good at what they do,
so why would he want them to do his renovation? No,
I said, they're not gonna Their renovations are cool, like
they have great minds, but they're not very fun on TV.

(58:41):
They come off it's kind of boring and you t
be fine. Yeah, and that's what I'm saying. Get me
on there and I will liven it up. Let's go,
so reply to them, let's go. Yeah, I'm all in.
I'll hack up the trailers and head Outie Eddie still okay, Yeah,
he's in. He's gonna take a loan out to do
it if they want to do it. But I guess
let him know one percent take out a loan. That's
smart business. Is it to be on You know what?

(59:03):
I agree? Good for you, buddy. There is Lunchbox to
be getting on. One way or another. Is getting on TV.
We like it. It's the best bits of the week
with Morgan number two and definitely I've been number one spot.
This week, the iconic Ronnie Done stopped by the show.
He has a brand new solo album out. He talked

(59:24):
about the songs on it and the collaborations. Annie also
discussed some of the Brooks and Dune days, you know,
like what happened when they decided to split, how the
reboot album happened so many years later. Just really cool
stories that I've never heard before. And it was cool
just listening to him talk and share his life experience. So,
without further Ado, Ronnie Done number one the Friday Morning

(59:48):
Conversation with Ronnie Done. All right, the lead singer of
Brooks and Done, Ronnie Done is walking into the studio
now right, let me get some of that intro music
Brooks and Dune Bootscooten Buggy from nineteen ninety one. Here
is there. He comes there, he is welcome, Welcome, Welcome, welcome.

(01:00:15):
I've seen in the so there's a boat scoot those
are buddy. We're pretty good? How you doing? IM good?
It's good to see you know, I was listen. I
feel like I'm very lucky that you come to to
the studio a couple of times and you grace us
with your presence, and I feel fortunate about that. So

(01:00:36):
I was looking up some stuff, like I was going,
I was digging deep about you, trying to find some
stuff I didn't even know so I can talk to
you about it. So I'm gonna ask you in a second.
I had no idea you like redesigned air trailers or
there's there's trailers. You have every hobby I've ever heard of.
You get bored, you know, you know, you're like a
creative time. I just had, I mean, interior design free book.
Came up with the airstream idea when we were out

(01:00:58):
in Vegas, you know, because everybody's trailers out there and
they go out in the desert and do the stuff.
And she goes, she came up one day and she goes,
would you do would you do the trailer for me?
Because you're already doing this though it's talked about all
the time. I got some guys that work for me.
They can do anything. So we just kind of treated
it like a house when we went to it and
did all the color palettes and said out all the
fabrics and hides and that kind of stuff. She had

(01:01:21):
to have a little bit cowgirl, you know, were you
an artsy kid. I don't know, not just I remember
about being a kid was being real just accessively skimmy.
That's no memory except being Yeah, that's my trauma. When
you were twelve though, Like did you play ball? Were
you already doing music? No? I wanted to play ball
so bad. I wanted to be an athlete. It's really bad.

(01:01:43):
And I can remember the coach coming to our fifth
grade room like study hall, and he said, anybody that
wants to go out for football going out to the library,
and uh so she I'm the first out at the door.
But I'm like, I'm like as big around as a pencil.
Maybe I was the smallest guy in the in the
in the school until I was probably in my senior

(01:02:05):
year in high school. Anyway, he looks at in the
room and he goes you you you. He looks at
me and goes, you go to the band room, back
to study. Also, I went to the band room trying
to let me play it clarinet. I see it though, Yeah,
it's just I like that I could see Blake clarinet.
I think that's your natural your natural instrument. I'm thinking chicks, man,
I went, h we're not gonna do that. I'm on

(01:02:26):
a saxophone. Stop played sax for a while, you know,
And if I gave you a saxophone right now, could
you make it do anything that it's supposed to do. No. No,
And it's like quitting golf or something, you know, for probably,
you know, twenty five years. You kind of have to
work up to it. Wait, well, we have one here,
bring it in gat. I know, I'm just having funny.
Ronnie's here because he's got a new album. We're gonna

(01:02:46):
talk about this. It's out today, and I want to start.
We're gonna get to the Parker McCallum song in a second,
because I'm gonna play it. But I do want to
talk about Jake Worthington how because Jake's on a song
with you called Honckey tonk Town. It may have been
the first song that you teased or one of the
first songs. Ts When you're talking about the project, how
did you link up with Jake Worthington. We were all
doing the Hearty project and the mixtape or the Hicks tape. Yeah,

(01:03:10):
the Hicks tape yeah, and uh this this, I mean
I just dropped in and did my verse and Uh.
At the end the third verse, when I got got
the Master from Joey a big gloud Uh, this voice
comes out and I'm gonna, holy cow, where did that
guy come from? Because it was real like down in

(01:03:31):
the dirt country. He sounded to me like light lefty
for Zelle. I mean, and if you don't know he
that is googling, you'll go get it. But he really does.
And he's this just down home like I think he's
like a welder or something by trade. Then uh, Houston,
But it's cool. You're if you haven't already done it,

(01:03:52):
you're gonna love interview at him. I have an interview.
I mean, he is as humbled as I don't know
it's but he's funny too. The same time, I want
to play a clip of this. This is Hockey Talk Town.
It is with Jake Worthington. Here. You gotta find me
a Hockey Town one. That's a good one. You like
that one? Yeah? Yeah, you can't hear it, but you

(01:04:13):
like it? Yeah? What if I said you like it?
He goes, no, I don't like that one at all.
That'd be a funny answer to Ronnie would say that
if it hasn't really felt that I wouldn't put it
on the record, but there it is. The album is
one hundred proof Neon, It's Ronnie Done. So whenever you're
putting out individual projects and you and you know, Brooks
and Done are still touring, is that a thing? Is

(01:04:34):
what's that you get to play any of them? Or
is it weird? So far we just haven't worked that
out because Kicks has done some stuff too, But no,
it's just a hodgepodge right now. But I think to me,
it's just we're at that stage to where, hey, you
know what we can We can show our individual personalities
or what we do and still come back and not
water down Brooks and Done. You know, back back in

(01:04:56):
the day, I think that was a big label for
your I mean just like, no, you can't I go
sing with someone so, or you can't go do this
project with somebody else. So it just seemed like every
time I turned around getting cut off at the pass,
and Kicks too. So as soon as as soon as
we decided to give it up for a while, I
mean we both ran out not not to run out
there and be successful solo artists, but to do music

(01:05:19):
that an individual guy could do. There's there's certain songs
that its Brooks and done as you know, you like
kind of love songs or whatever. You can't do it's
two guys, you know, oh, because people would think you're
singing at each other. Yeah. Yeah, Like I'm not gonna
hold hands with him. He holds, but yeah, I would
like that. He's a redneck. I'd like to see that it. Yeah,
one hundred proof of Neon's the record Ronnie is here.

(01:05:40):
I'm gonna play the single now this is Road to Abilene,
which you wrote, by the way. Yeah. Yeah. When he
called Parker McCallum, he said, hey, do the song with
me or what Yeah. Yeah, he just came down in
his big white hot rod core bet Jevin's gold Jan
you have that guy walks in and I like Parker
a lot, but he walks in and I'm like, I'm
not gonna like this guy. And then you spend time

(01:06:01):
with him, You're like, oh, I love this guy. Oh.
I felt somebody's kind of kind of got the Texas,
you know, subtle standoff thing. And then at the end
of it, he goes, man, thank you so much for
let me do this, this more fun thing I've done
or whatever. He's awesome. Dude, I like you. I have
an idea for you. Would you like to hear an idea? Yeah?
Probably help your career a lite um. So on this
record that you have out, you got a couple features
Jake Worthington, which we talked about a minute ago, and

(01:06:23):
the song with Parker McCollum which we played. If you
did a song not on this record, one hundred proof
of Neon, maybe the deluxe edition, I think about it
here Ronnie Done featuring Kicks Brooks. Well, then I'd have
to turn around into a Kicks Brooks. That would just
be Brooks and Done, all right? Would here we go
back to it, back to the money. That would be funny,

(01:06:44):
though it would be like I'm confused. It'd be so confused.
I'd be like, I need to see what this is about.
But it was just that. So when you have to
search for people, or you want to search for people
that are on a song, what do you look for?
Because I'm sure you get asked to do stuff all
the time. Yeah, No, I just people alive, that's it.
I have been called do a song? You want you up? Yeah,

(01:07:05):
let's do one. I got a call the other day
to Tuesday. I was on the way back from Alabama
and we've been having fun at Lake Martin got shacks.
You say, Lake Martin. I'm like, I'm gonna ask you
about that in a second, but go ahead anyway. Uh,
I can't say who it is, but wanting to do
a duet and do a duet's project, and uh, I'll

(01:07:26):
let him do all the whop about it. So you
said yes, yeah, Have you said no recently? No? No, no, no, no.
I mean, I'm kind of careful about what I do.
But I think in today's age, it's like, hey, if
it's if it's the song, the song dictates it to me,
you know, not not who it is. You ever been
on a comedy song before, a comedy song? Ever been

(01:07:49):
on one of those? No, you're writing it. Well, that's
what we do, and we tore, we tore, We tore
like Brooks and Dunn. I'll know you do what you
were doing your your show when we were doing a
bridgetone the other. That's true. That and you can't come
to the next shows even to watch because you're on
the road again. You work too much. You can't even
enjoy life now, you know, when it running it pours. Yeah,
Ronnie Dune is here. One hundred proof Neeon. When you

(01:08:10):
do the album title, do you put neeon in purposefully
to reflect one of Brooks and Dunn's most famous songs,
or do you put it in because it just feels
like to me, neon feels like a nineties thing just
in general? Is it that does that word? What does
that mean to you? Uh? It means that I must
gravitate to it subconsciously because I took the project home
as I was doing it all almost through finished with it,

(01:08:32):
and my wife goes every every frecking song on there
says Neon. She goes, can't you come up with something
other than Neon? Like I said, what would? Everybody's doing pickups?
And so finally I just thought about it. I went, Okay, no,
I'm not going to change anything. Well, I'll just called
it a hundred proof of neon. What's one hundred? I

(01:08:53):
don't prove a hundred proof whiskey? But I don't drink,
so I don't know the stuff that that cool guys
like you that drink. Yeah, well after last weekend, heady,
So one hundred proof? What's what's a whiskey? What's a
proof of a good whiskey proof. Yeah, well, it's just
I mean that that number dictates the amount of alcohol
in it. So one hundred percent that's pretty pretty strong.

(01:09:14):
Would that be one hundred percent? Yeah, so no, no,
it's to be I have no idea, Like I'm asked,
I don't know, y'all tell me what you're gonna get.
Like there's certain like types of alcohol that aren't going
to get you as feeling, but it's one hundred one
d percent give you that feeling. Like what's a beer
Like I've seen one fifty one? Yeah, moonshine, that's right

(01:09:37):
blinding one that's on this record. I feel like I
hear like multiple fiddles at the same time, like steel guitars,
Like whenever you're kind of having the idea for this sonically,
is that important to you to keep a lot of
the traditional what we feel like a traditional nineties sound
in it? What I mean, it's traditionals like like fifties,

(01:10:00):
sixty seventies, eighties, and nineties. You know that's twin fiddles.
That was all a big part of what I was doing.
Is that something you seek out purposefully, Like I definitely
want to have this in because this is what I'm feeling, like,
this whole project's gonna be yes. So we're riding. There
are certain of summing he goes. It lends itself to
twin fiddles, and hardly anyone does twin fiddles anymore. But
that's kind of a regional thing. Texas, Oklahoma. Uh, well

(01:10:26):
that's you mean Montana. Where do you consider yourself to
be from? Oh that's a horrible Bobby here, redy it is.
I went to twelve schools in thirteen years. We were
moving all the time. Davis in like a pipeline business.
It's like a gauger, like a real like down in
the dirt work blue collar worker. But our grandparents are

(01:10:48):
all from Eldred, Arkansas, So there was that. But if
if you're on prices right and they were like, hey, Ronald,
who are you from? Where would it say? Where would
you say you're from? I don't know, Tosson, I would
say I was born in Texas and I spent more
time there than any other place. So you would say Texas, Yeah, yeah,
and what part of Texas? West? Texas? Way west in

(01:11:10):
a little town called coleman Or south of Abilene. So
I asked him a lot of oil over there. Yeah,
and that was that pretty much the economy. Yeah, that
you guys lived in, like where the oil was that
that's where your dad went pretty much. Yet, what do
you remember about that as a kid, just moving a lot,
I mean like being a living and actually living in

(01:11:30):
some cool places like New Mexico lived there for a while,
but we lived on an oil least because he was
in charge of a certain regions. So we were out
in the middle of all these canyons and stuff and
no one was around. We just had the you know
we were as kids. We just random muck, you know,
in the desert there was no one around. What does

(01:11:52):
it mean run amuck and the desert sing? It's a
lot to do, you know, run I don't. I've never
run them uck. Actually, to this day, I'm never run.
The mind, I've never run amuck at all. Your parents,
I get out of the house, go play outside. So
we run a muck. It's kind of it's undefined, you know,
you just whatever you wherever you end up. You know
you're in the pack. Do you muck now? Oh yeah?

(01:12:14):
I run them up now, way more than I random
muck when I was smaller. When you're at the lake
in Alabama. What does a lake weekend consistent for you? Well,
I mean I was getting the boat and cruising and
how big boat. Let's let's talk real here. No, it
was like a forty two foot something. You've been on
a yacht? Oh yeah, I've never been on the yaist. Really,
I just see people on you work all the time,

(01:12:36):
but I see people on to get out. But I
see people on TMZ on yachts, and I'm like, I've
never been. I've never even been on a yacht. Y'all
both accused each other of working too much, and how
y'all both need to get out? Really Okay? So I
see you on a bicycle online the other day. Yeah, bicycle, Yes,
by side out in the desert. A bicycle, pretty fancy.
It's out a yacht. No, it's a it's a mountain.
It's well, you're talking no, but you make it sound
like you. You come on, you've not been on a yacht?

(01:12:58):
Who how would I be? I don't even know somebody?
Very normal, you're Bobby. I don't even know you know.
I don't know a person. That person. It's a houseboat,
a lake yacht. I don't even know one of those,
I'm there with you. You have a houseboat? No, no,
I did have on a center hill for a while.
Not a houseboat, but uh, Daytona like like the race,

(01:13:21):
a bunch of music and NASCAR kind of run parallel
in some ways. So every year Roger Pinski they all
earned hard and Felix Sobatas who invented Donkey Kong. They
would all show up in their yachts, and the one
that had the longest uh yaht got the preferred parking place,

(01:13:43):
and they'd all three line up. So when people weren't
at the race, after the race, pre race and all that,
they would all walk out and gawk at that. You know,
the two hundred and fifty foot two hundred and fifty
one foot there's a yacht measuring contest. Yeah, between those
three guys, we know what y'acht stood for for them too.
And you go on, you have to take your shoes off.
There's that. You go into all their yachts. Uh huh.

(01:14:04):
But the yacht that's the I mean, that's the golf ocean.
Where is that? Let's let's see what was up would
be the golf right, Yeah, I don't, I don't know what,
I don't have a ton of side of Florida. And
what's the difference in a yacht and another another big boat?
You can go down in it? No, there's actually actually
rid of thing the other yesterday on it now they'll
show you how my short term memory works. But there's

(01:14:24):
a term for an eighty eight foot boat, and then
there's another term for when it turns into a yacht
at like a certain amount of footage. But what's the
But like they're hot right now, everybody's buying them. I
guess because they're kind of cheap. But I don't know. Um,
so you're out, you're finishing the toward Brooks and Done.
So then what do you do as far as performing wise? No, no,

(01:14:48):
I'm panicking. Are you getting a little nervous though? Really?
Uh huh? I'm trying to come up with something to
do maybe and and line some some dates up to
just for fun to promote this. So if you go
on play these, if you're by yourself, can you play
a few Brooks and Done songs too? Or is that
in the rules? That's yeah, yes, no, there's there are
no rules about that. We can do whatever we want to,

(01:15:09):
you know, because we we wrote the majority of that stuff,
Like we didn't write My Maria. So I don't know.
I don't think you know, kicks goes out and does stuff.
So I don't think anybody cares what's interesting. And you
can tell me I'm wrong here, But from my Brooks
and done knowledge, it seems like one of either one
of you wrote most of it. Rarely did you too
write a song together that was massive? Initially we did.

(01:15:33):
We wrote a lot, and then then we hit the
road ahead like four number ones in a row and
just hit the road immediately and took off. So we
got to see a whole lot of one another. And
our time at home, our free time, was kind of
kind of precious, you know, you get to spend time
with your wife and kids, and that was kind of

(01:15:55):
put a damper on a lot of it. Every now
and then we'd be on the bus or something, or
a long trip California or whatever. We'd we'd stopped for
a couple of days and and and write. We wrote
Uh Red Dirt Road. Uh. He jumped up on the
bus one day. Uh after a show one night and said,
I said we need to we need a song that

(01:16:15):
that kind of depicts the field of the of the album,
and uh we spattered off that chorus and uh traded
off on the of the verses and the way we
where we went. Whenever you look back at Brooks and Donne,
the massive hits that you guys had, which one that
you were part of writing was just the easiest, and
it was almost wrote in an hour, like a quick
quick rite, and you're like, wow, no, no, I'm slow slow,

(01:16:40):
you know, I don't know how. I don't know how
how staff guys do it? You know music row riders.
If someone said to me one time, uh, it's a
rider here here on the row, and asked the same question,
and I said, uh, I don't know. Sometimes it'll take
me like three or four months maybe so maybe a
year if I'm like really stuck on it or something

(01:17:01):
like that. And he laughed. He says, man, in my opinion,
if it's if it takes more than three hours, it's
just not worth the time. I'm thinking, wow, wow, but
that's his deal. No, wow, that you it would take
a year. Yeah. Yeah, So you write it down and
go it's night it and you come back to it later.
I'll just leave it. I'll leave it at in a
folder whole and just kind of come back to it. Well,

(01:17:22):
the flip side of that question, then, which one do
you think took the longest where you started? And it
was years later when you're like, oh, okay, I feel
like we got it now. Neon Moon was was was
one that that stretched out for a while? What about
it wasn't right for a while? Yeah? Yeah, like what
about it? Which direction did it go or what was
different about it? At first? At first it was it
was it was more like two for a country, you know,
but not the same same lyrics, same hook and that stuff,

(01:17:45):
And I like, I don't like that. And then uh,
then this this version that here every now and then
is the one I went with. I thought that was
the case, the one that made it the one. Yeah,
when I was thinking about it, I was like, I
bet the one that way here now is the one. Okay,
So I'm gonna ask a couple more questions a second,
but I want to play a little more of this

(01:18:05):
from one hundred proof Neon. Uh, let's play a little
bit of where the Neon lies. This is Ronnie Dunn
right here where the weird sky Man good Like I'm

(01:18:27):
forty two and I can already film my voice like
the youthfulness of my voice is not No, I'm just
saying you what your voice is still as pure now,
it feels like to me, and I've been lucky enough
to either sing right beside you were watching what are
you doing? Or are you just genetically lucky? Like? What's

(01:18:48):
how does it stay the same? I think it's probably genetics,
you know. I mean when I first say, I think
there's a difference. Like I used to call myself like
a bean nose oaky, you know, somebody puts a bean
up there nose and tries to sing without high But
as I get older, it's it's deep into hair and
it kind of just got just a little bit of
a character, more character to it. And I think you'd

(01:19:09):
get more comfortable. Have you changed the keys of any songs? Nope, nope, nope.
Tempted at first, you know of some of these runs
when you're before you get in shape, but it's a muscle,
you know, and once you once you get it in shape,
and you're you're out and running and I stay all
right a rest and I don't I don't, you know,
get involved with a one hundred percent proof whiskey when
I'm out on the road. But with the lake, when

(01:19:31):
you're at the lake, back to that, what are you
doing at the lake? Are you just sitting in a
cove with twenty two year olds listening to Pitbull or what? Oh? Yeah,
that's it. This week was they were having a like
a lake poker run. You had to go from one
end to the other and get at these stations and
you pull up to a dock or whatever, and uh,

(01:19:52):
they give you a card and then they write it
down and then you go to five different places and
whoever has the best and when you know, a couple
of grand that's what rich people do. Wow, the craziest
game I ever heard of. No, it's nuts, they have
no they were they were They were like party barges
I call them. Were pontoon boats with giant pink flamingos

(01:20:14):
on them and you know what, the floppy dice that
they came from the mirrors but massive, and they dressed up.
It was like Mardi Gras on the water. What's the
Facebook group? You'ren They gets to do all this stuff?
Like how does this communicated amongst It's just it's a
cultural things. But they've been doing it for years, A
traditional thing down there. Well, I never heard of such thing.
I don't know I had an eater. I got trollomotor

(01:20:37):
about it. I don't got a flat bottom. I don't
have that. Ronnie Done is here. I got two questions
for you, and I'm going to ask this. It's a
dumb question, but I'm serious asking it. When it's people
see you and once they understand or recognize you, they
treat you differently because you are famous, You've had a
great career in country music. People know you. What is

(01:21:00):
it like for people to just love you wherever you go?
Do you ever just go? Man, I'm trying to go
somewhere people don't know who I am, so I don't
get that. That's real, But it may not be authentic
in like human relationships because what they're loving maybe isn't
the real you. Yeah, no, that's that's You're nail on it.

(01:21:22):
I don't know that. That's It's tough because you know,
you're in this business to be, you know, because you
love music, and then the byproduct of that is recognition.
And I'm not gonna use the word fame, but recognition
and sometimes it's a you know, after after that break

(01:21:44):
for ten years. You know, at times I've walked through
the airport and like, you know, one person come up
to you and like, hey, man, dig your music by
or better yet, hey my mom my mom loves you.
You know, my grandmother lives you. Man. At this point,
it's like group uster right off the bat. But it's cool. Hey,
you know i'd be great grandmother loves me. But uh,

(01:22:05):
you know, things heat up, you know, like the morns
you get get exposure hearing it was like Alabama was
like that last week. It's just just funny how it changes.
Do you feel now it's back at it's like a
real peak time again because I feel like if anyone
mentions Brooks and dun Or Ronnie dun Or kicks book,
it's just like there's just a passion for you guys. Again,

(01:22:25):
I wasn't here when there wasn't a passion whatever time
you're talking about there. Do you feel though that it's
really strong again? Yeah? Yes, And I won't say you
gets you know it's that peak yet. But it's different now.
Crowds are bigger, and they were they were big, you
know in the day. But just like the enthusiasm is
there and I can hold up you know, ego mic
out to the audience and they'll sing neon Moon and

(01:22:47):
you know, louder than we do it. Uh So I
don't know how to figure that out other than just
to ride the wave and have fun. Are you having fun?
You're having a blast. Do you appreciate it because you
were away for a while, like you appreciate it more? Yeah?
I think so, Yes, Yeah, I would think that I
would too. I would think for me anyway, it takes

(01:23:08):
oftentimes for me, it takes something to kind of come
in that I didn't expect to remind me of how
good I have it, because sometimes I forget because you're
just in it. Well, too much, too much of a
good thing is just too much of anything, you know,
and you'll you'll you'll get a little get a little
burned out. Yeah, I want to ask you one more question,
and I want to get back to the record one
more time. But you talk about when you guys took
a break. What's that situation? Like whenever it's time or

(01:23:31):
somebody makes a call to go, hey, we should do
this again, Like what happened? Who made the call? What
was that conversation? Like a manager Clarence Small made the call,
and that was to do the reboot record. And he said, guys,
I've got an idea. He said, just just let me
take it run. He says, you don't have to do anything.
You don't have to call anybody. He says, I'm gonna
call each artist that you guys said. He gave us

(01:23:54):
a list. He says, just a loose list and check
it out. But he said, I'm gonna call one time.
He said. If I don't hear about within two days,
he says, we'll move on. It's not gonna be any
you know, we're dragged the process out and torture anybody.
Sure enough, just about I think everybody that he called,
he says, Bam, we're on. We've got her. You know,
we got him, we got someone solf so Cody Johnson,

(01:24:17):
you know, Luke, Luke con Casey. Yeah, yeah, see you know.
So then you guys were like, hey, we should okay,
let's do this. Well yeah, and it just kind of reignited,
you know the thing of us and people younger artists
walking and go, holy cow, you know we're in here
and we're looking around on who are you talking about?

(01:24:37):
But yeah, enough money or I ain't gonna be fine, right, Yeah,
it's not for money now, I never you know. I
mean I like to say it never was but money
what money wasn't motive back in the day? Not now?
I mean, can you have enough? I don't know. I
don't have any I don't have a ya. How much
you got in your wall right now? How many? Okay?
How much cash you got in your wall right now?
Right now? Yeh? Cash? None? You don't keep cash. No,

(01:24:57):
it's all credit cards. I probably have. Like, what do
you tip of valet? Oh, I'm bad about it. I'm no.
I'm like like, I'm way over tip, you over tip,
way over tip. Yeah, And I think that's fair. I
think that's I do. And if you forget you have
you don't have any cash, you go courtesie. It kicks
Brooks and you walk off, right, That's what I would do.
You're like, you know, here's my credit card, here's my

(01:25:19):
dress sending back to me. All right, one, let's play
one more club. I want to play the last track
on the record. This is better bartender with Ronnie done
right now? Man here, Well you did it again. I

(01:25:47):
think you made the project. You're one to make because
it sounds very Ronnie Done, and I love it, you know, yeah,
I think that's the goal, right, Just do something you're
proud of. It sounds great and didn't see what happens
so Mama would like yep, And every chance I get,
we're featuring it. You know, I love you and you know, uh,
you know, I love your music. But like outside of that,
you're a guy anyway. It's really cool for me to
get to be your friend. I don't get a vide

(01:26:07):
it on the boat or or some like swinger thing
on the lake. I don't know what's happening in there,
but I don't know. I didn't get that. I don't
I don't know some poker thing. I don't don't know what.
That's the code word for Ronnie Done. You guys check
out the album. It is one hundred proof knee On.
You can follow Ronnie at Ronnie Dunne obviously Brooks and
Done back out on the road finishing up the tour.

(01:26:29):
But this is one hundred proof knee On. If you
decide that you want to go on the road and
do this, just let me know, we'll promote it. Let
me know what you're gonna do. All right, I'll do it.
I'm text recall you camp outside. You're great, you do
all that anyway, Yeah, so that nothing would be different
