Speaker 1 (00:02):
We've got Morgan Business of the week. Hey, y'all, thanks
for taking the time to listen. It's the best Bits
of the week show, as you heard in that fun
little jingle, and I am Morgan. I'm gonna be counting
down the best seven bits from the show this week

(00:22):
based on all your engagement online from social media that
calls all the things, and there's so many more bits
than seven, but I'm counting down the best ones from
seven to one. And also along the way, I bring
in members from the show to talk about some behind
the scenes moments, which is my personal favorite. And this
weekend I'm bringing in a lunchbox here. I'm here, I'm here,

(00:46):
check check check this thing on. Well, so it's us
three are the only ones in our home studio right now.
So I figured we're not in our home, We're in
the studio, I mean, like the home studio, Like are
the shows homes studio? I got you? Okay, yeah, yeah,
you get it now, Okay, got it. Well, it's only
US three because the snow totally blanketed Nashville and there

(01:07):
was so much ice and it was just wild. I
know they were calling it the Winter Store. No snow mcgeddon. Oh,
I think that's a little dramatic. Snow mcgeddon was here. Okay,
well that's why we're all here. So I figured it'd
be best to bring on Raymundo and launchboxes, kind of
my little co host for today as something fun. I
don't know, you guys down for that? Are we getting

(01:27):
paid extra? No? Oh, I'm still down right. Are you good?
Do you need extra money? I am totally cool with
doing this with you. I heard this is just such
a huge show on the weekends. Watch it's like bigger
than no. I always see reposts and stuff like that,
and I'm like, wow, it must be pretty good and
easy to listen to. I don't know, well, I appreciate

(01:50):
that it is doing pretty well. So thanks y'all for
listening to this so well. We were going to get
started and up first this week, Bobby brought up a
news story about how dark chocolate is good for your heart,
and then it got us all talking about all the
foods that everybody on this show hates. Well, I decided
that I want to hear us, so we're going to

(02:10):
talk about some things. Okay, let's talk about it. So
my microphone, so yeah, coach have you ever been on
the mic before? Now, I get nervous. This weekend showed it.
I get nervous, you know what I mean, Like everybody's
listening on the weekend. I'm like, ah, he drills his
mic like it's his first day. I was nervous. This
is weird. I've never heard those words out of your mouth. Yeah, okay,
So I have questions for y'all. We talked about the

(02:33):
foods that you can't stand or you hate. Hate's a
weird word for me. So we're gonna say dislike. So
I want to hear the song that you dislike. And
I'll give you a second to kind of think about that,
because I know it's a loaded question. I'm gonna tell
you mine while you think, go for it. Mine is
laughy taffy. Okay, back this song on like party buses

(02:54):
right as I laughy daffy. Oh. But like I listened
back to it now and I'm like, it is literally
a song where repeating the words laughy taffy over and
over again, and it was famous, like so crazy to me,
and it's just not a good song. There's no like,
there's nothing there for me. I can't believe you don't
still enjoy Laughy Taffy, Laughy Taffy because it's like one

(03:15):
of those earworms that you get and then it doesn't
go away and you're mad that it doesn't go away.
It's not a good earworm, you know. I think it's
a good earworm. I am. I am in total disagreement
with this this selection right here. Okay, well, then what's
the song that you just like, Oh see, that's gonna
be an earworm? Oh here we go. Oh my gosh, Okay,

(03:45):
that is a jail No, no, no, no, talk in
my head. It's bad. Okay. This one is another one
that they just repeat the dang words and it is
so stupid and aren't you ready for human may even
never heard this song. I don't know when this song
came out, so maybe we're too young. It's are you
Johnny Ray? Who wants to know? Who wants to know? No,

(04:06):
I'm not Johnny Ray who wants to know? They sing
it over and over and it was a huge hit,
and I'm like, this song is terrible bull Wait Ray,
do you notice I have no idea what you're even
talking about? Are you Johnny Ray? Who wants to know?
Who wants to know. I mean, is this from the
fifties lens no, I Are You Johnny Ray? Song sung

(04:27):
by Jimmy Ray. Oh, it says it's it's actually the
song is are You Jimmy Ray? I thought it was
Johnny Ray whatever? And you learned the new lyrics to
the song. Yeah, And it came out in November of
nineteen ninety seven. If you can look up Are You
Jimmy Ray? Fur year old? Such a terrible song and
everyone loved it. It. It's so terrible, so terrible. Here, no,

(04:57):
just get ready for it, he says it. Okay, I
feel like that's a like a theme song almost for Ray,
It says Ray. I like that. It is so terrible, dude,
we might have just found my new winning song. Okay, speak,

(05:23):
what's the song that you just like? All right? So
let me preface this with saying I love Luke Combs okay,
and I hate to go after a country song right now,
and his song Better Together, I love it. Some things
just go bad. That song is amazing. So I really
like Luke Combs, but and a majority of his stuff
I'm fine with for whatever reason. Maybe it's the I

(05:44):
don't know, Maybe there's instruments in it. I don't love
the lyrics. I can't stand loving on you. You don't
like this. I'm so sorry to Luke Combs all the
people on Music Row who have been a part of
this song. And I think it's a number one too.
It's very cheesy I'm in love with loving You. I mean,

(06:06):
it's very cheesy. It's so good. I'm sorry. I kind
of thought we were going after country songs, so I
probably should have switched it up. But for me, that one,
if it's on the radio, I can't do it. Okay, fair, fair,
I mean, the whole point of dislike is that their
controversial opinions. So that's okay. We're all across the board there.
But I see what Rady is saying. Just say I'm
in love with you. Don't say I'm in love with

(06:27):
loving you, that I'm in love with loving on you.
You know what, Luke comes you're listening. I love the song.
Yeah he's not listening, I promise. Okay, Well, we're the
other question. Movies that you dislike, like one movie that
you really dislike in mind so controversial. I got forced

(06:50):
into watching this series on the show, and it was
the worst thing I've ever watched The Godfather. It was terrible.
Oh you're you're I can't say the word you are.
You're ridiculous. Okay, I'm ridiculous. It was terrible. I don't care.
It was so bad. I was so bored out of
my mind for like, not even for three movies. I

(07:10):
think I sat there for twelve hours. It was so long. Well,
that's the problem. You got to think they came out
years apart, so you're used to seeing them one, you
wait two years, you see the other one. Watching twelve
hours of anything in that short amount of time is tough, okay,
But it just wasn't good. Like the one part where
he's make him enough for I can't refuse. That's the

(07:32):
only part I liked. He sounded really good there, like
you sounded just like him, you know, doing some good
impressions there. But that's mine and I know it's going
to be controversial, so that's I don't think that. I mean,
it's so old. I mean it's an old movie, so
I don't really know if people are going to be
that mad at you for not liking him. Well, we'll see,
we'll see based on the internet, right, right, What's yours
awesome powers really going to be controversial. There are a

(07:55):
few of those, so like all of them, sure, because
they're all the exact same theme where the dude acts
like he's from England and it's a throwback, Oh do
you want to shag me? Baby? And they talk like
that the whole time, and it's just so hilarious. I
get it's a comedy and they're supposed to be like,
wait a second, one million dollars. I get that was

(08:15):
the point of it all. It's a comedy. I just
didn't think it was funny. I mean, it was just
so dumb. Is that the Is that the one where
the pinky thing? So many quotes are from it. I
mean there was gold Member spy who shagged me? It
was huge and popular at the time. I don't even
think it holds up. I'm sure Lunch hasn't seen it
in ten years, but probably not. I don't actually go

(08:36):
back and watch a lot of movies. I'm not a
big watch a movie sixteen times? Guy, Do you want
to make you horny? Baby? Oh? Yeah? Oh man? Okay,
So all those quotes are hilarious. All those quotes make
you laugh. They make you laugh out loud and not
the only one that feels like the awesome power quotes
is something I would totally hear coming from Ray's mouth sometime, right.

(08:58):
I think he's wa I'm mad they they stole my
stick and the man, those guys got me before I
was got like, I mean, they did what I should
have done. Oh man, Okay, okay, lunchbocrophones. Okay, let me
tell you. Let's start with Legally Blonde. Absolutely terrible. It

(09:19):
is almost unwatchable. I went to like I went with
a group in college and it was like, okay, the
girls would pick one week and the guys. I fell
asleep in the movie. Theater was so bad, Like no, no,
so you are so much disrespect right now, It's so
true and we all know Legally Blonde is not good.
Elle Woods and her stupid Chihuahua is a terrible movie. Okay,

(09:42):
I'm so sorry. Another one. Avatar, Oh goodness, good movie.
Everybody loves the ranks. Avatar was good. I saw it twice.
Was one of a kind. Nobody had seen that three
D stuff and blue animals. But the other thing, he
just went out after a chick flick. So okay. Another

(10:03):
another one, Another one Black Panther. I made you watch
that one, and that was a great movie. One. The
good dude, you just you just hate it over there,
rest in peace, peace, you just hate it over there.
I'm just telling you that. I was sitting there going, Okay,
this is really I mean, everybody loves this movie. Meanwhile,

(10:23):
you're defending The Godfather that was like three hours long
and boring. Yep. I mean it's better an Avatar and
better I mean Lunchbox. I just think I have a
better taste in movies. I just disagree with that absolutely wholeheartedly. Okay,
you know what, here, we'll put it to the listeners
if they would put legally blonde, Avatar and Black Panther

(10:44):
all over Godfather. There on my line, I didn't pick Godfather.
I didn't say Godfather was the greatest movie of all time,
but I just didn't like those movies. Another fifty first stake.
You have a lot of movies you don't like. I
mean I've seen a lot of movies. Another one, Um,
I don't know for Multiplicity. Multiplicity is another terrible movie.

(11:06):
Look it up if you've never seen. It's terrible, terrible.
Does it like right? Can you dislike a lot of
movies like it takes a lot for me to genuine
another one. We talked about it last week or the
week before the beach, the one Ray told me to
watch awful. Do you do you dislike this many movies?
It's weird. That's a great point into Yeah, it would

(11:26):
take a lot for me to totally hate a movie.
You can always find something a redeeming quality in a movie.
Oh it's kind of funny. Oh it made me think
of my childhood. But for lunch to hate these means
such a list. Yeah. No, No, I didn't say I
hated Well, that's okay. I didn't hate Black Panther. I
thought it was overrated. I mean, I had to like
dig for a movie that I did. What are you

(11:47):
gonna say next? The Passion of the Christ? Now I've
never seen that one, never saw that. Okay, we're gonna
we're gonna do one more question on this dislike train.
We're getting real controversial in here. Name a chain restaurant
you dislike, right, I'm going with Chilies. Okay, it was

(12:08):
a bad experience, and it necessarily isn't even their problem.
But I went with my current wife. I went on
a date with her. It was one of our first dates.
And I ordered the salmon, but I didn't realize it
was coming with this broccoli. And when I tell you,
this broccoli was the worst smelling cooked broccoli I've ever
smelled in my entire life. That's not even an under overstatement. Okay,

(12:31):
it smells so bad. I smelled up the entire chilies
like dirty, like feet. It was so embarrassing. And I'm
on a date with Bazer and I have the smelliest dish.
You couldn't even hide it. Solia was going to ruin
your date, Coach. It almost did. Sundies cooked the broccoli.

(12:52):
It's not Chili's fault, it was mine. I did not
examine the menu properly, but it maybe they've done away
with the broccoli put good. God did it smell bad.
And I'm so sorry to that entire restaurant. I cleared
the place out, Coach. I mean, I'll agree with you, though,
Chili's is it like one of my first ones I
go to. I'll admit that what's your what's yours? Into my?

(13:15):
You guys aren't gonna like it? Well, hit me, it's
chick fil a you Oh my god, it's because she does,
So it doesn't I mean it's not. You can't really
you can't really say you don't like it because you
don't eat the chicken, So what else can you eat?
Here's the thing. Yes, I don't like chicken, so that's it.
That's so that's why I don't hold it like like

(13:35):
a bad thing. It's just like I am never ever
gonna choose to go to chick fili, Yeah, because they
serve chicken and eat the fries. You have mac and
cheese and fruit and fries. But like all those things
are like mediocre to me, compare like because obviously that's
not their thing. So like, I just would never choose
Chick fil A. It's a very personal thing. Okay, wow,
I'm sorry. And it was closed in Nashville for a

(13:58):
couple of days because of the winter storm weather and stuff,
and you're sad. It's right next to my neighbor in
my hood, so it was very depressing. We had to
go an alternate route. Are you one of those people
that go all the time? Right? I go? I definitely,
I mean Sunday would be the day I would go.
That's why the song came Chick fil A. But it's Sunday,
but I go at least once a week for sure. Okay, okay,

(14:21):
lunch subwoy suboy controversy around subway. Dude, Jared's at the door, No,
Jared's in prosoll j listen. I used to love Subway
and then I just feel like there are just too
many of them and it's just not as good as

(14:42):
it used to. Right, And so I'm just like, you
know what, another subshop. I'll hit it before I'll hit Subway.
Just can't do it. I'm with you. I started recently
eating um, what's it called Jersey Mikes. Yes, Jersey Mike's
in town and shout out in Kansas good sense is
bomb food ever, So yeah, I's shot out the Thundercloud

(15:06):
subs down and awesome. That's where it's at. Yeah, I
would agree with you. I'd say there's better subshops out there,
for that was just my thing. You guys ever got
a sub from Public? Oh? Yes, they are. They're so good.
You know. Hillary introduced me to them, and they are
so good. So you go to the counter and order
a sub. Yeah, and they give you a check out

(15:28):
where you're Yeah, they give you like fresh deli meat
that's why it's so good. Like it's like fresh ingredients
that are right there. Okay, I mean I never knew
you could go, well, hey, I never knew you could
go to the deli counter and order fresh meat, like
right there and eat it. That's interesting a publish something
like that. I'm not too experienced. Hillary would have all

(15:49):
the experience, but it's something. Hillary. What do you got
to say about that? She's all snowstorm? Okay? Cool. Well,
here's the segment where the show members talked about the
foods that they don't like. And obviously you just heard Lunchbox,
Raimundo and myself talk about a lot of things we dislike.
So here you go. Number seven. They say eating in
a small piece of dark chocolate is the key to

(16:11):
a healthier heart. According to a new study, we can
decrease the risk of developing heart problems by eating dark
chocolate six to seven days a week. Researchers found that
regular bites of dark chocolate slash the risk of abnormal
heart rhythms significantly, also good for your body. I just
hate dark chocolate. It's better than no chocolate. I love

(16:32):
milk chocolate. I hate dark chocolate. It is not sometimes it.
Caitlin loves dark chocolate. It makes my skin crawl, That
makes my nose go. Oh. I don't know why dark
chocolate is so disgusting to me. But sometimes she'll she
has like a bar and she's able to eat in moderation,
and she'll have like a little square of it. And
then I can tell five minutes later if she kisses

(16:54):
me that she's had dark chocolate, and I'm like, oh,
it's not a cigarette, dude, but still I can hell oh.
But she does the same thing with mustard. I love mustard.
Sometimes she'll go, you had mustard. You have to brush
your teeth if you're gonna kiss me. She won't grab
the mustard bottle and put it back in, she hates
it that much. So here's my question that I posed
to the room. Here, is there anything that you love

(17:17):
and your partner hates and vice versa, because mine are
I hate dark chocolate, she loves it. I love mustard.
She hates it. She's never tasted mustard or catch up.
No condiments for her. But that's kind of ours. Amy.
Do you have that he loves olives? I hate them.
He'll eat them right out of the jar and it
makes me want a gag. I like olives. I like, yeah,

(17:41):
I like olives, gros okay, And is there anything that
you like that he doesn't. No, he likes everything. Okay. No,
he's just more he's more easy going. He really doesn't complain.
I hate onions, and so I especially hate the texture
of onions, because she says she cooks them into stuff,
but she has to cut them so small that I
don't taste them. But if they're big and I crunch

(18:02):
an onion, I'm like, I'm done. I can't eat this anymore.
She did when we did our cooking things. She said
that she does sneaks and onions and didn't tell you
about it. You know what goods. That's fine as long
as I don't know. I'm okay apparently, and I'm good
with that. But no onions. And she loves onions. Just
I cannot deal with the texture of that. Anybody about you?
Oh easy, pork ryns. I love pork ryns. And it's

(18:24):
like the same thing. I give her a kiss and
she's like, oh my god, did you just eat pork rins?
That disgust and get that out of here. What about
the other way she likes olives and I hate olives.
You know, for years when we were dating, I ordered
pizza for us. I mean, we've been dating for a
long time and she loves pizza with olives on it.
And I've never asked her until like maybe five years ago.
She was like, you know, I hate mushrooms and pepperoni, right,

(18:46):
and that's what we've eaten our entire life as we've
been dating. I'm like, what do you like, she says olives.
I'm like, oh, never, We're never ordering that. So she's
been eating mushroom and pepperoni pizza just for you. Did
she peel them off or did she eat them? She
would just kind of peel one off here and there not,
and she didn't want to hurt my feelings, but she
just never she never told me, and I'm like, just
tell me. But now that she told me, I'm like, no,
we still won't order all of us lunch box you

(19:08):
and your wife. My wife loves mushrooms and I think
they're absolutely disgusting. Oh they're just slimy and gross. And she,
uh so, yeah, mushrooms. I can't do it. Won't eat them.
But what about the other way. She doesn't really hate
anything that I eat. She's a pretty non picky eater,
so she'll just suck it up and eat it, and
if she doesn't like it, she doesn't tell me. So

(19:29):
I'm good on that front. Man. That's the way to go. Yeah,
have someone that either likes everything or acts like they
like everything. You Know. What I learned about food recently
was there's a difference in banana peppers and pepperccini peppers.
What is that? I don't know the difference, I didn't know.
I thought they were just called different words. But like
this color slightly, the shape slightly. And also I was

(19:53):
told that they're not called pepperccini peppers. What do you
call them? Banana peppers is what I always calling Okay,
but but not this. Okay, I'll tell you one that
comes in the Papa John's pizza. Yes, the biggest difference
involved the skin and the shape. Banana peppers also have
thicker walls where they're called pepper On Chinese, they're not
even called pepperccini. Yeah, apparently, apparently, I'm just the little

(20:17):
redneck who says Pepperccini's Cal's like, yeah, I think your
grandma just said that growing up, and you've just held
onto that, Amy. What do you call them? I say peppercinis,
Like if I ever order that on a pizza. That
is exactly how I say it. So now I know.
And I hate peppers, but I like banana peppers if
they're chopped up, and I like pepper on cheenie but
I grilled you, Belle. Peppers. No way, can't do it,

(20:40):
so weird, can't do it, can't do it at all.
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two,
we talked to one of Bobby's good friends, John Party.
He's performing at the Opry this weekend and that was
the main reason he called into the show. But while
he was on with us, we also talked with him
about his cameos and basically, fans have to drop one

(21:03):
hundred and twenty five dollars for a video message from
John Party, and he told us what fans could expect
from that. So let'sten back to this. John Party is
always a hoot, So listen, laugh, you're gonna love it.
Number six, The Friday morning conversation with John Party. John Party,
what's up, my friend? Hey buddy, Hey buddy, Hey have

(21:24):
a question I was thinking about the other day when
live shows return, and they will return this year, do
you think you'll have to go back and relearn all
your lyrics? Usually it's just me and the guitar by
myself singing, like for a couple of days before the
first show going through, you go back, listen to the album,
listen to what's on the set list, and kind of
get in that mind space again and then still forget

(21:46):
the lyrics. It's been so long since you've been able
to play consistently. Are you worried the first few shows
you'd be like, I got dart on my what again?
My sneakers? I mean, we're gonna remember that one? Think
that's it's it's what it is. But shockingly, we had
some little bit shows last year and only messed up

(22:07):
one line the whole. So that's pretty good one out
of a seventy five minutes that you've forgot one line.
So we have John on he's playing the opery tomorrow night,
so you guys can check it out. You can go
to our Facebook page Bobby Bones Show, because we're actually
grabbing the stream, or you can go to the Grand
Ol Operates Facebook page, Circle Network everywhere you can go
watch the opera online. Do you remember your first ever
Grand ol Opry appearance, John back in twenty thirteen. I

(22:30):
think I had long hair, You know what I was thinking?
I think I think you had long hair too, me
and my mom. This is before, like, this is back
when limos were still cool man and we took a
stretch Hummer to the Opry and we had fun. I
got a couple of other questions for you here you

(22:51):
put Rancho Fiesta sessions on vinyl. I saw you talking
about this on your Instagram. How do people get one
of these? Because you did a bunch of really cool
cover songs. How do people get one of these? And
will you sign them? Yoh yeah, I'm having a whole,
having a whole field day of a signing five hundred
copies of it. So if you can just go to

(23:11):
my website and we got them up. Is that John
Party dot com? I've never been Yeah, John Party dot com.
John Party is on with us. What does someone get?
Because I was looking, I saw that you're on cameo
one hundred and twenty five dollars. Ooh, that's steep. What
does someone get for one hundred and twenty five bucks
with a John Party Cameo. And when at first I

(23:33):
kind of like put off Cameo. I was like, I
don't need to be doing that, you know. I kept
getting dms like, hey, are you gonna, you know, join cameo?
Blah bah blah, I want to get a message, and
I was like, you know what, I'll try it out.
It's a lot of happy birthdays. There's a lot of
half of Valentine's Days, And you know what, it makes
people happy. That's the main thing about cameo, Like they

(23:56):
love it. I mean when they get the video and
they leave me feedback and stuff, I mean, they're so excited.
And that's the thing. I never thought I would get
like like a like happy out of it. That I
made somebody happy. So that's what cameos kind of opened
my eyes a little bit. It's just they're so excited

(24:17):
when I get the video. It's it's pretty pretty awesome.
So how many of those do you think you get
a day? Requested to cameos when it first lit up,
when I first got up, it was fifty. I've since it,
I've done ninety four videos. So you made about ten
thousand dollars off of cameo. Holy Molly, close and so,

(24:37):
but I use it for like farm stuff, so it
does help out here on the ranch. John, Party's on
with us. He's playing the Grand oll Operate tomorrow night.
Hey John, I have two product pitches, just ideas that
I think would be great for you in business. Tell
me if you like these ideas. Okay, Okay, I can
tell he's not loving it already either that. Oris. I'm
gonna tell it all right. Here we go. Once live

(25:00):
concerts return, we start a toilet rental business for venues.
We put your face in the hole and we call
them porta parties. I mean, can the faith as on
the door? Okay, okay, fair enough? How about this one?
How about this one? We start our own country music
awards show for people who never get nominated or win

(25:23):
the big awards, and we call it the Partycipitation, like
the Party Cipitation Awards, get it, like you particip parties.
I really struggle with this one. Yeah, um, the Party
Participation Awards. Close enough. We were calling the party. Yeah,
it doesn't work that we tried. I don't think why
you pitched it. You're like, yeah, half back to the pitch.
I was like, this is stupid idea. What do we

(25:46):
the American country parties? Okay, and you but you have
to host it too. You go with that. I love
hosting stuff. You know that. There he is, John Party. Listen.
He's on because he's he loves playing the opera. We're
promoting the Opery. Be sure to watch it on the
Opery's Facebook, our Facebook or Circle network. John Good to

Rancho Fiesta sessions on vinyl. It's signed to thirty five bucks.

(26:09):

go ahead and sign up for that too. The guy
just trying to buy farm equipment. You heard it here first,
all right, John Good to talk to you, But I
talk to you soon, all right, Buck. It's the best
bits of the week with Morgan. Number two another guest
on the show this week, hit More. He called in.

(26:30):
He had recently performed at the Rhyman in Nashville, and
that was his first time performing since this whole pandemic
thing hit. And he talked about the cost of it,
what happened, how it was seeing people in mass in
the crowd. I mean, just so many conversations about that
first live show. As you can imagine it was fun
for him, but definitely different. So listen back to this interview.

(26:51):
He talks all about it, plus about his new Wild
World Deluxe Edition number five. The Friday Morning Conversation with kept.
What's happening to Buddy? How are you doing being good? Yeah?
I'm pretty good. I was watching you play the show
at the Rhyman and your fans are so passionate, and
I wonder what I was wondering is I was watching

(27:12):
you play these songs? Is whenever people sing back to
you but they're wearing a mask, does it sound a
little more muffled when they're singing back in masks? It's not.
It's definitely not quite as aggressive. You know, it's but
but I'm hey, as long as as long as I
can hear singing, I'm good man, it's a good thing.
How was it to be on stage again? And obviously

(27:34):
it was a socially distance show and it wasn't completely packed,
but for you to be back on stage playing music,
how did that feel? It was great? Bobby? Um. You know,
and I say this with all I like during this
whole thing, I've never liked, I never craved the adulation
part um I missed like being on stage with stuff

(27:54):
that was happening the night with the band, and you know,
just being able to get bring people some joy. But
I don't. I've never needed the adulation part, So I
never missed that, but I missed there was a lot
of organic things that happened on stage that we didn't
plan on. That just it felt amazing playing music again.
You know, ten years ago something about a truck was
a number one ten freaking years ago. Does that feel

(28:18):
like that has just flown by? Or does it feel
like forever ago? I'm not really sure, to be honest,
that whole period in my life feels like one complete blur.
Everything about it feels like a gigantic blur. I think
me going through like the insane and psambing I went
through for like four years. The whole thing is a blur.
I mean it. I sometimes it feels like it was

(28:40):
just yesterday, and sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago.
Does that song still feel like it kept more song? No?
But I'm thankful for it, you know what I mean.
I asked that because again I watched listen. I'm a
kept more fan. I'll say it right now, proud loudly
and proudly, and it played twenty five songs at your
last show, which is a lot, and I did not
see Hey Pretty Girl on the set list. So does

(29:00):
that feel like it kept more song? And why did
you play that song? Yeah? I mean that that still
does Bobby. I mean like when we did that acoustic
tour all of last year. There will be nights, and
I'm not exaggerame, there'd be nights where I did not
play one single hit and you never felt like you
were missing anything during the night, like the crowd was
never chanting for it. I would I would give him

(29:21):
an option during the encore, knowing I haven't played truck
Hey Pretty Girl, last shot. You know, I'd be like,
you know, what do y'all want to hear? And they
had signs in the audience and it would always be
like crazy one more time as that was us or something,
And it wasn't like planned to not play it. I
just never got to it. Do you feel like your
voice is still in shape? No? I mean it definitely,

(29:44):
you know I did. The band was laughing after because
they were like, you know, we were supposed to play
an hour and a half and I got fine, you know,
a few thousand dollars for going forty minutes over. But
you know, when I got on stage, I had no
idea how long during the first whole set that we
had played, and I asked my tour manager, are we good?
Because I normally have any ears and I didn't have him,
and he says killed. He put his hand on my shoulder,

(30:06):
said you're thirty five minutes over. You're already fine, so
you might as well to play the encore. So, you know,
it was just kind of like, you know, I mean,
we kind of just winged it while we were out there.
We had a bag as song as the pool Fund,
and we followed somewhat of an order, but there was
definitely audibles happening throughout the night. How do you pay
that fine or do they just keep it out of
your check? I don't really know. I mean, I'm pretty

(30:28):
sure it just like gets reimbursed to them, but they've
already paid to my business management. You know, afterwards, I
wanted to kick myself because here I've gone a whole
year trying to take care of my band and crew.
I haven't haven't had any shows, and then my first
one back I get fine. So that was pretty idiotical
my part. Kep Moore's on with us. Wild World Deluxe
just came out. You got four new songs on this,

(30:50):
so why did you want to put a deluxe album
out instead of, you know, holding that and putting a
new project out. A lot of times I'll overrecord for
a record. Normally, I'll do like anywhere from three to
six songs over because a lot of times you don't
know what a song is gonna feel like till you
give it a go, and then sometimes it just lays flat.
You can't seem to capture the magic and whatever for
whatever reason or not. But and I'm already mentally way

(31:11):
past where I'm at at that particular time, So if
I'm writing new stuff, I don't put that on an
old project. So it just felt like that record. Like
it felt like that record. Yeah, and even sonically, like
the way that we recorded the drums, the way we
did guitar tones, like leaving doors, opening rooms, like whatever
kind of ambiance, you know, kind of thing we were

(31:33):
going forward with certain songs, whatever ethereal you know, sounds
we were trying to capture. Like it all kind of
made sense with that record, and in the subject matter.
You're telling me, if you leave a door open in
the studio, the guitar sounds different. Yeah, I mean you're
gonna get a much more compartmentalized sound when you like,
when you have ants that can't bleed into the room,

(31:54):
you know, like you're gonna have a very you're gonna
have a much tighter mix. I mean when you listen
to Old fifty through the seventies recordings, I mean a
lot of times they did have the door shot. A
lot of times it was just in one big room,
and that's why you're getting all of that like kind
of where it all feels like they're in the same room.
Nothing is individually compartmentalized, and you're getting lots of bleed

(32:15):
and there's that there's that rawness in it. You know,
you can't control your sounds in the mix as much,
but you get a much more authentic band sound with
that kind of thing. Have you ever stage dived. I've
definitely jumped in through crowd. The last time I did
it was in Milwaukee UH summer fests, like back in
two thousand and fifteen, and it was it was truly

(32:38):
kind of a scary experience. It got so aggressive and
I came back on stage pretty much missing all my clothes.
It was. It was pretty insane. So I haven't done
it since I did it once and I didn't know
the rules and I did it on my belly. Oh
that's great. Let's just say I took a lot of

(32:58):
shots into that very into the area that I really
wasn't planning on. People were just trying to put the listen.
I'm not a rock star, Kip. I'm not like you.
I don't have the wherever the I usually do stand
up comedy and we were doing a music show and
I was like, I gotta go, and I jumped face
first into the crowd. That was it. He Dustin Lynch
is so scared of it. He does it with a boat.
He does he gets in a boat inflatable raft. He's

(33:21):
so afraid of it. Let me let me ask you
this before we go. You tweeted on the Connor McGregor fight,
satin sheets will turn an alley cat into a housecat.
When that happens, it's over. Is that a kept more
original one? You know? For the for the first half
of my career, I mean, Bobby, That's why I moved
into that gump that I you know, I stayed in
this you know, I mean, I don't want to say

(33:43):
it dump, but I mean it was the room that
I moved into somewhat was you know. I moved into
a one room in the old Cornman building. I got
a twin mattress and I put it on the floor
and I put all my stuff in there because I
thought that I still had to feel like I was
at the bottom to write the Wild One's record. And
I took cold showers every morning like I did back

(34:04):
when I was living on Edmonton Pike. You know, I
mastered the twenty Second Shower, and I tried to keep
myself in that in that hungry phase. Now I realized
that just by living simple, I can stay in that
state of mind. I never want to get too comfortable, um,
at least while I'm doing this. There might be a
time when I really kicked back. But but I mean,

(34:24):
I like simplicity anyway. I've never needed like things. But
but yeah, I mean I think that, you know, I think,
once you get you're living in some big mansion and
you've got you know, everything you need in all the cars,
I mean, how can you possibly stay in that in
that clever lane, rocky free state. You know what I mean?
There is, mister t Yeah, kept more. I heard you,

(34:53):
my man. I know you check up on that and
listen wild World. The locks just came out. It's he's
got Feig new tracks on a check got Kip? Hey,
what are you playing again? What's what's the deal with
your live shows? I don't really have anything. I've got
a couple of little spot dates every summer. I've got
some It's interesting. I've got some house. I've got a
couple of house things I've been doing, and I got
like three of those kind of lined up, like twenty

(35:15):
twenty five people. Price is right, I go play the
house all right, there is? Hey, Kip. Always good to
talk to you, man. You're such a treat to have
on the show. Love you. Talk to you soon about
the big day coming man. Thanks man, I appreciate that.
Talk to you soon, you bet guess it's the best
bits of the week with Morgan Number two This week

(35:39):
on the show, during Amy's Pile, she had put together
a list personally of all the nicest country artists who
have walked into our studio. It was her list, and
she determined her favorites, and obviously you'll get to hear
that back. But I wanted to bring Lunchbox and Raymondo
back in to talk about this because we always get
asked about country artists like are they actually as nice

(36:02):
as they see him? Are they so cool? Like give
us the lowdown on your favorite country stars, and so Lunchbox,
Raymundo and myself are going to talk about that. So, guys,
are you ready to I'm writing, I'm reading. Are you
prepared for this? Yeah? Oh yeah, okay, so I need
to know this artist is going to come after you,
lunch But because I'm going nicest, no dislike here, I

(36:23):
thought we were sticking with the theme there as a
bunch of things up here, We're going the direction um
nicest country artists. I'm gonna I'm gonna give you two options,
like you can say two people, So give me your
two nice country artists because I'm just joking. I'm just
because I would go on and on. I got it. Yeah, yeah, okay,

(36:45):
So Lunchbox easy Keith Urban because I'm gonna tell you
he says he's hilarious, He's funny. And the funny story
is one time we were going to some fancy thing. Uh.
And we had to drive up to this house for
the award, Yeah, the awards dinner. And I pull up
and I'm in the O five Ultima about murder and

(37:06):
Urban pulls up behind me, right and I'm walking up
the stairs and I see M two pull up behind Urban,
and so I'm at the top of the stairs. I'm
yelling M two, you're late, you're late, You're late, And
Keith goes is that you lunch up Keith? And he's
just so genuinely nice that I would say I'd put

(37:27):
Keith Urban. Okay, all right, that's a solid one. I
think everybody could agree on that. Who's your other one?
The other one are the Low Cash boys. Anywhere I
see them, they're down to chat. We've talked sports and
we just I mean, they'll drop whatever they're doing and
they just hang out for ten fifteen miss chatting it up.
Low Cash And speaking of a little cross promo here,
you had one of them on the Sore Loser's podcast.

(37:49):
We had Chris from Low Cash on the Sore Losers
podcast right before the Super Bowl because he was going
to the Super Bowl. So we got all the ins
and outs and it was really fun to talk to
him about gambling and his relationship with athlete. That's pretty cool. Okay,
that's cool. So after you're done with this one, definitely
listen to that episode or any episode the Sore Losers podcast.
It's amazing. Shameless plugs. Okay, you know what we're here

(38:12):
for it right right? What are your two nicest country artists?
The one just top of mine is Jaco And when
I first came to town, I don't even know how
I got his number in my phone, but I had it,
so that just speaks how cool the dude is. At
one point he invited everybody on his bus when they
were doing shots, and he thanked everybody so much for
being a supporter of his all of us from the show.

(38:33):
I was an idiot and I was taking aerial shots
from above on the skyscraper because I thought it was
cool looking down at the crowd for one of his shows,
and everybody else on the bus getting all these very
nice compliments from Jake and his back then wife. But anyways,
Jake was so cool and he still remembers my name.
I'm talking years later. He's moved on in his life.

(38:53):
We don't see each other as much. In studio, but
he's I'm a producer. I'm not even on the show really,
and he still knows my name very nice, So he
would be the first guy that would come to mind
the next I'm just gonna have to say, Chris Lane. Okay,
I mean throwing a ringer in here. I didn't see
this one coming, because here's the deal. I worked an event.
It was a charity event. It wasn't make a wish,

(39:13):
but I believe it was special needs kids Special Olympics. Yeah,
it's similar to that, but it was a prom for
them who had never gone to a prom before, and
me and him worked it, and the dude was so
down to earth. They would come over to me and
him and they'd say, hey, guys, sorry, this wasn't on
the script. Can you go up and do an announcement?
And he'd be like, yeah, I'll go do it. I
don't care. And then he at times that he was

(39:36):
doing a performance, and it's not like he could rock
out like he does usually. There was kind of some
awkward moments, but he did such a great job in
between playing his music and just communicating with the crowd,
and then he would just come over to me and
be like, so, dude, like, really, though, what's been going
on in your life? What's up? He genuinely yeah. I
mean he could have easily just gone and talked to

(39:57):
his band guy, but he just came to me, talk
to me. We took pictures. And I believe this when
he was with Bush now, which obviously increased his fame.
So he was just, for the most part, a great dude.
And it really wasn't a situation where he had to
be overly friendly and get to know me. It just didn't,
but he did. So I know, all right, we already

(40:17):
know yours. Who do you think her mind? No? Actually, no, okay,
go ahead. I am another fan girl of this person though.
And it was Dolly Parton. I mean she came in
here like there we go, Like she came in here
and it was like the whole studio just like shut down.
She just put everybody at ease, like she washed in
her room and it just glows. I don't even know

(40:39):
how to explain it, but dude, you know what, Dolly,
I would okay, um, And she even took pictures with
all of us, like she was just like as kind
as like you think she is. She's even more kind
than that. So definitely Dolly. But then I have to
reiterate Low Cash Boys. I've known that there too. Yeah,

(41:01):
you know, I've known them since um I worked in
radio in Wichita, and they've remembered me, they've remembered my life.
They kept up with my lives until now and that's
like years ago. And they've always been super sweet and
like just friendly about everything. So the low Cash guys,
I ain't look at that and that, and that's that
tells you how good they are. Because they made two

(41:22):
of the list, and we didn't discuss our lists. Yeah,
nobody talked about anything. We're all over the place. Okay.
So that was really cool. So now you can listen
back and hear Amy talk about her list. In the pile,
she shared her choices for the nicest country artists. Number four.
I put together a list of the nicest country artists
that have ever been in our studio. You put together

(41:44):
a little Yeah, I want to see if you if
you let me give you my answer, okay, Garth Keith Urban,
a little big town check check check? Oh which Okay?
Where do they fall on your list? Like Hamley Feuds style? Okay?
In it? Well, I didn't know that A ranked them
per se. The little Big Town is first, okay, then
Keith Urban, then Garth Brooks. Okay, let me see who else?

(42:05):
The nicest, Yeah, the nicest, but they also have to
be a massive artist. I'm assuming to make the list
because it's like the juxtaposition of massive yet still nice, right,
because we have a lot of nice people to come
in here, but these are big times, like these people
probably don't even have to be nice if they didn't
want to be, and you'd still let them come in.
But they're nice, Eddy, who would you put on this list?
For sure? There's two icons, Dollie and Reba yep ding ding. Yeah,

(42:30):
there's a duo that you're missing, Oh, Dana Jay, but
maybe only one of them's been in. Oh, I know,
say she's saying there's a there's a duo, but only
one of them has been in. No, they've they've both
been in. Oh really yeah, Brooks and Done Yeah, the

(42:51):
same time they sat here and talked to us on
the air. You don't we're hearing Kicks his jewelry going back.
Oh I just wrote down, Ronnie. Can we tell Kicks
it an impression? No? I love kis maybe I wasn't here.
Brett Eldridge makes the cut, and then of course Jake Owen,
Oh yeah there. Do you usually leave anyone Outbounes, Yeah.

(43:17):
Tim McGrady awesome every time it comes in. Yeah, George straight. Well,
there's the difference of being extremely professional and being just
really nice. Some people come in there they're so professional
you're like, dang, that's awesome, but you don't get to
spend a lot of time with them outside of just
talking with him. Luckily, with McGraw, I have been able
to hang out a bit and he's awesome, and so
that's why I feel comfortable saying that to Tim that
they're great. Faith's great too. Uh, who else would George?

(43:41):
It was the second he came in. You just want
me to say that because he's your favorite. I don't
know that I've spend enough time with him to say that.
I've met him twice. Yeah, but once backstage he was
super nice, but it was so brief. The interactions have
been so brief. I don't know how to think about that.
All right, Thank you for that list, though, it's the
best bits of the week with Morgan number two. Also

(44:05):
this week, Travis Denning came in. He had sent Bobby
a TikTok video playing a little bit of What's My
Age Again from Blink one eighty two on his banjo,
and of course we had to bring him on the
show to play the full thing. And it was so cool.
I mean, if you know this song and Blink one
eighty two and if you ever had like an alternative
phase in your life, you know this song. But listening

(44:27):
to it on banjo and from Travis Denning, it was
just so cool. So listen back to this. You're going
to be impressed. Number three on the Bobby Bones Show
now Travis Denning. Travis has co hosted the show. Travis
has had a number one song with after a few
gonna play a little bit of this here you go
look after he was voted the prestigious CRS twenty twenty

(44:54):
one new face. Yeah, Travis Denny is here. Yeah, I've
been I've been told I need a new face. I'm sorry, Catilee.
So this is what happened. I was doing this thing
on TikTok where I said, hey, Stitch and put you
playing after I say this, and I want to see you.
We're gonna bring some people up. Well, Travis goes, I
like to make a submission and play the little part
that you played on the TikTok that was it a

(45:18):
cut off? And he goes, I wrote this and it's
obviously Blink one eighty two. What's my age again? And
so I hit him up. I was like, Travis, came,
play that on the show. I'd love to hear Blink
one eighty two on a band Joe. Now, did you
have to learn the whole song after? Oh? Absolutely? Last
night I sat there and would shaded this whole thing.
I was obviously a huge Blink fan growing up, but

(45:39):
just did not really learn the words as a, you know,
eight year old. So I learned him as a twenty
eight year old last night. Okay, well, before we talk
about anything else. Here he is with his band Joe.
It is Travis Denning playing Blink one eighty two. Here
we go two g It was a Friday night. I

(46:01):
walk along to get the feeling right, we're starting magging

about the time that girl hung up on me when

a few absolutely, here we go in my band had voice, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you can do a few drains. It is always the

(47:11):
same thing. We find ourselves austin conversation at the bar
after a few songs and kind at you hold home,
we found ourselves seen in up against my car sit
the spe sigabyte giving a bad too. If we didn't
want to wind up following in my bed like we

(47:34):
always do after a fee. After a fee, has to
do that every time. That's the out regardlessness. When we
get back on the road, the whole sets full band
and then just banjo solo after a few What's your

(47:58):
guitar story? How old were you when you finally started
to go I can actually play real songs, so I saying,
I brought me my guitar when I was eleven, and
so yeah, I started playing then, and when I was
like six or seven, that's kind of when I was
really starting to really get a good grasp on it.
And actually my parents told me at that point I
had some cheap starter guitar. They were like, hey, we

(48:19):
know you're taking it seriously, and we kind of want
to challenge you. If you'll learn Stairway to Heaven front
to back, like no stops, no mess up notes, We'll
buy you whatever guitar you want. And so I spent
the next like four months with my guitar. Teacher and
parents came home from work one day and I was like,
all right, come upstairs. I got it and played it

(48:40):
for him, and they bought me my first gifts and
less Paul. That's what I wanted so bad. And I
literally just recorded two new songs and played that guitar
on both songs. I still use it to this day.
Can you still play the opening lick from Stairway to Heaven.
Oh on banjo, man, I'm gonna get smited for half
these licks. Right, This is just like anti rock roll
what we're doing it. There's a lady you sure all

(49:13):
the glitters is gold and she's buying a stairway, but
Heaven just sounds country. You want to finish it? Okay?
When she gets there, she knows if the stores all
the clothes with the worst, she can get what she

(49:34):
came for there. He is Travis Denning five. So we've
talked about this before. But your girlfriend, who's not a
fiance yet not not yet, right, but I mean eventually right,
I'm not even gonna pressure you on that, but I
mean it's the idea that you sound like everybody in

(49:56):
my life right now. Actually, I'm not gonna pressure you,
but when's it happening? Well, I'm not asking that, but
Madison is John Michael Montgomery's daughter. Do you learn his songs?
You know? I actually don't know any of his songs.
The one song I do know by heart though, his
Letters from Home, because that's I've got like four songs
in the country music that are an automatic like cry song,

(50:18):
and that that's one of them. Just that song just
gets me. So I know all the words of that
one favorite nineties country song that that you will play
in your set. Do you have any Oh? Yeah? Church
on Cumberland Road by Shenandoah. Okay, well let's hear a
little bit of that on the benjo just about a
mile off of one on nine. There's a little church

(50:40):
sitting bagging in the pines. Promise that girl she was
gonna be mine? How would him be surprised to? She
was standing there crying, deading all upon our phone. It
go so slow, settle. You gotta put your food down

(51:02):
on the floor. Yeah, we've been working on night, but
don't you know you gotta give me to the church
on the Cumberland rohole. Yeah, that's awesome. Listen, you came
up here only because I was like, you gotta complain,
So I appreciate you doing that. You guys. Check out

(51:24):
Beer is Better Cold. It's Travis's EP. He's got the
big hit with after a few David Ashley Parker. Where's
that beer been? He's on TikTok? What are you doing
on TikTok? For the most part, uh like really dumb videos,
like banjo videos, and my most viewed one right now
is Madison's cat Millie, which Matt Stale dubbed her Millbilly,

(51:47):
so I really like like that name. I threw an
ice cube across the kitchen like floor, and she loves
ice cubes. She ran after it and slid and absolutely
headbutted the refrigerator like really loud too, and just got

(52:51):
It's the best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Number two.
This week, Lunchbox was at it again. After the show
last week, Lunchbox stayed late and intercepted our voicemail. This
is the second time he's done this, and he tricks
listeners into thinking that he's actually the voicemail like box machine.

(53:12):
And it's just so crazy because I don't know how
people describe it as a voicemail box machine, but you are.
That's like, right, that's what it is. I guess. I mean,
like when you call yourself one, is there a voicemail
box machine? Or are you just the voicemail I just
thought it was funny that you describe it as an
old school box machine. You know what, lunch As you know,

(53:34):
words are hard, okay, I guess it was a very
interesting way to describe it because you were around and
answer machines weren't really a thing after you were born,
so for you to call it the box thing, just
really thought that was funny. That's true. The irony is there.
It's lost. I'm sorry, I don't mean interrupt, but well
it's okay, you're on and we've got ray on and
I just have some some questions. First, right, you have

(53:55):
to sit in the glass studio when he does this,
Like what is your experience watching him while he does
the voicemail? Yeah, Like he takes over the voicemail. He's
like tricking listeners. Yeah, it's pretty funny. I wish at
the end though, could is there ever a point when
you apologize to him and just say it's a joke
and you're just teasing him, because otherwise he's just on

(54:17):
there just going nope, you're dumb. Yeah, And I'm pretty
sure he hangs up on them. I don't think he does.
It's heartless. I never tell them I'm joking because then
it ruins it. Like I want them to just think
that was the weirdest voicemail ever, and then they hear
it back on the show and they're like, ah, Lunchbox
was messing with me. If you tell him right then

(54:38):
then it's like okay, No, that's literally how the voicemail goes,
because he just goes like silent, like nothing happened, or
I say okay, your call will end in three two one,
like you're a rocket ship yep, and you also carry
it on too long. You should just do it for
a second. But then you even don't you insult him
at the end where you're like, well, sometimes you're not pretty,

(54:59):
and they're like, oh my god, gosh, I'm not. Oh
the girl was like I think she called to give
her husband a happy birthday or something that no one
cares about your husband, coach, but don't like some of them.
They're like, is this lunchbox? Like do they like suspect? Yeah,
they do. And then you just go, if you like
your message, press one. If you don't like your message,
press two. I think we need to work on like

(55:21):
your monotone voice. And then they press a button and
you have no idea what button they press. They be like, okay,
re record your message our poor listeners. It's so fun.
It is. It is a really fun segment. And I
won't argue that, but I do I do want to
know from listeners, like if they think it's funny, because
I die laughing, they die laughing, and they I guarantee you.

(55:43):
I'm also not the other one at the end, but
the other one on the other end of the phone.
They get off the phone and they tell at least
five people. Man, I had the weirdest experience when I
called the Bobby Bone Show today Boom spreads our word
and gets our name out there. It is true, like,
if you have an interesting customer service experience, you're gonna
probably sure actually with at least five people, you're not.
If you have just a great experience, like oh, you know, hey,

(56:05):
everything great, You're not gonna go by Man. I had
a great experience, it's gonna be like, man, it was
so weird. This guy was blowing snot bubbles out of
his nose and then he touched his nose. Then he
wanted to use my credit card. Like, you're gonna tell
a lot more people if something crazy happens unless instead
of if it goes smoothly, you're not wrong. Well, is
there anything you want to add to this before we
play it back for a listener? No, call us anytime

(56:26):
one eight seven, seven seventy seven Bobby and leave your
message on the voicemail. Yeah, and lunchbox may answer. You
just never know. It gould be a weird day. Yeah,
there's only about one percent chance they're gonna get him
that answers it. Usually it's just gonna be a boring voice,
you know. What for some people that one percent is
all they need, Raymundo, Right, Yes, okay, well listen back
to this. You're gonna laugh. I promise Lunchbox takes over

(56:49):
our voicemail life number two. Whenever you call us eight
seven seven seventy seven, Bobby, if it's after the show,
you can leave a voicemail, and then we use a
lot of them on the air as well, because sometimes
you listen to the podcast, you don't listen to the
live show. Well, Lunchbox was at work late yesterday, so
he just decided to answer the phones and mess with
the listeners like he was the voicemail. So here you go.

(57:12):
Thank you for calling the Bobby Bone Show. You've reached
our voicemail. Please leave a message and we will hopefully
return your call soon and maybe play it on the air. Hi, guys,

(58:33):

with Morgan number two, all right and coming in at
number one. Such a cool live performance this week we
had in Edwin McCain. Yes, he's the singer behind the
massive hit I'll Be and he came in the studio
to serenade us after he's been on TikTok and cameo

(58:56):
doing all these cool things. We're like, okay, he totally
has to come in studio, and we found out he
has a killer sense of humor, Like we were all
laughing in here the whole time. So listening back to
the entire time, and you want to know what, Yeah,
I don't know if I was part of this. It's Okay,
I don't know if Ray has this. Ray might have it.
But my wife went around the house the rest of

(59:16):
the actor Edwin McCain was on and just sang his
song over and over. Oh, yeah, there's audio. I want
to hear that. I don't know. I got you right here.
Here we go. Yeah, let's hear this crying shoulder. Dad
has a good voice. Oh be, Oh my god, oh

(59:44):
be loves the side. Oh my gosh, that's my wife.
She has a phenomenal voice. Around the house all day,
singing it and singing it and singing it and singing it.
Does she like a singer? And at one point or

(01:00:07):
two I think she was in the choir when she
was growing up in the church or whatever. But yeah,
I mean just throughout the day, just randomly, she was
cleaning the dishes there and then she'd be like, oh,
that was clean, and she wouldn't even break and then
she would go right back to the song. Well, dang,
are you trying to watch Sports Center while she was
doing No, I was just getting something to drink and
she was singing. Then I was in the kitchen getting food,
and then she was singing in the living room, and well,

(01:00:27):
Edwin McCain had us all serenading this week. Apparently, I'm
telling you that's one of those earworm songs that gets
into your ear and you got you're like, man, that
was a song though you like listen to it. It's
a slow, like sad song. Oh, I don't even know
what it's about. You don't know what all bes it's
a love song. Well, yeah, it's I'll be your biggest fan. Yeah,
so how's that saying? You know what it's about, But like,

(01:00:48):
I mean the slow, the tempo of it, and like
you imagine it her first dance songs, and you want
to cry because as her first dance songs, you know
you want My wife was singing at your wedding right
like she was great? Right, I thought she said sounded good.
If it's at your house and you're trying to do
other things, you've already got the kids making noise, and
then on top of it, your wife is doing an
American Idol audition. He sure it was cute for forty

(01:01:09):
five second again, would you put her in crying shoulder?
Sorry better molder be love to the side you're crying

(01:01:39):
and shoulder. She's so cute and let me tell you,
were you making her dude dishes while she was doing
She didn't even know I was recording. I know, dude,
trust me, I've tried to record my wife. Ain't happening.
They don't let you record. I'm singing. No, no, no, no,
they don't like it. And so then later when she
was singing again, I was like, oh, she goes, she's

(01:01:59):
checking the baby. She's like, should we play that? Because
she played it on her phone. I was like, no,
you should sing it again. And then she sang a
little bit and she goes, oh, I forgot the words, Like, oh,
I got enough. She goes, you were recording. You don't
recording me up? Oh I love that, dude, late artist
send it in. Okay, Well that was so cute and
obviously Lunchbox's wife loved it as much as all of
us did. So here we go. Here is Edwin McCain

(01:02:22):
in the studio this week Number one on the Bobby
Bones Show. Now, Edwin McCain. I'm a big fan. I
tell you guys. When I was in college, I saved
up all my money and I went across and OBIU
was a school where the rich kids went, and Edwin
was playing the rich kids school, and I was like,
I love Edwin McCain saved him with tickets. I got
in the very back of the theater and I watched

(01:02:43):
him play for an hour and a half, him and
a horn player, and it was really I remember so
much about it, ed one. So I'm super hat, super
glad you're here and I don't have to pay for
this show. I feel I feel like, maybe maybe we
jipped you for only showing up with the guitar and saxophone.
But you know, we played in any iteration back then.
We could show up and play however, So yeah, I

(01:03:06):
was looking at your TikTok here and that's that's actually
what brought you here. It's so bizarre, this whole thing,
how I got here. Anybody tells you that they have
a plan in the music business, they're just lying. It's
just all accidental. It's a complete accident. My entire life
is a giant accident. I was obviously a big band
growing up. And then I'm flipping TikTok and I see

(01:03:28):
you singing with people doing Oh be York, and I'm like,
holy crap, he's he's played. Let's get him on the show.
And so we call you and you're like, yeah, I'll
be right over and here you can drove over. I'm so,
I'm I'm just shocked. I was like, people are like,
why are you going on there? I was like, I
don't know. I was like, I feel like, okay, I'm

(01:03:49):
just gonna show up. I mean yes to that because
I've literally, you know, I've just found him been out
of the loop. I've just been home doing the you know,
homeschool thing with my kids, and I kind of made
the decision to be home with my kids and and
do the deal, and so all of a sudden, I'm
back in the music business again. It's cool. I'm gonna

(01:04:09):
play a couple of clubs real quick. In case you've
been living in a rock under a rockers, Here's I'll
be and here is. I could not ask for more.
I could not ask. Yeah, it's a little aggressive, you

(01:04:32):
know what I mean, Like, I go, you know, that's
that's begging to have a parody video. You know, somebody
throwing a bouquet of roses that their girlfriend. Is it
true and you can true or false me on this
that you got your record deal because Darius and the
who do you guys were like, you gotta sign this
guy pretty much. Yeah, no, I was with I was

(01:04:52):
with them when they got signed to Atlantic and they
basically said, yeah, we're bringing him with us. And they
were like, yeah, whatever, we'll take him too, and you
know they and it was, Yeah, it's a miracle. I
spent my life trying to repay those guys for what
they did for me. And I say this all the time.
Make if you haven't read Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers everyone,

(01:05:14):
especially if you're in your twenties and you're trying to
figure out what you're gonna do with your life, read
that book. Because the importance of timing can't be overstated. Like,
I worked really hard, I'll never deny that, but the
when I was was as important as anything I did.
The timing was perfect. The everybody was tired of grunge.

(01:05:38):
They just got they were so tired of staring into
their vent filled belly buttons. And then Hoodie and the
Playfish came along and we were like we have friends again,
and yay, and whoever that guy is, yeah we like
him too. And that was it. You know, we were
just really really right place right time. I went over
and looked at your cameo. You charge one hundred dollars
a cameo out if they pay that, I'll be honest

(01:06:01):
with you, Pretty step, you think a hundred bucks? Snoop
Dogg charges eight hundred? Okay, what does he do everything?
I'm singing to you? Okay, that's that's what I was
going to ask. We just had Valentine's there were people
hitting you up, going. You gotta say the whole song too,
the whole song. You get almost five minutes worth of

(01:06:23):
this guy dedicated. Yes that person. Yes, my wife feels
the same way you do about that. By the way,
people pay you for that, they do. No, I just
am looking at the prices of folks and one hundred bucks,
But if you're playing a song, I think you should
raise the price. Yeah, I agree. So here's the thing.
So I feel like, and this is something I say

(01:06:44):
to the young musicians too. If you go out there
and play for free, for tip jars, then that's what
you're You just told the world that's what your value is.
You know, go you you charge for what you do.
I mean, if you are good enough to be playing
in public, then you're good to be paid for it well,
you have a rating of five point zero out of
five I got. I Actually I got a couple of

(01:07:06):
bad reviews because it at the beginning of TikTok, I
didn't really under I mean at the beginning of cameo,
I didn't really know what I was supposed to be doing.
And I was literally like wearing a hard hat, getting
ready to go get in an excavator, and I'd be like, oh,
it's good to see you, and I'd do something stupid,
and they were kind of expecting music and they were
getting some construction worker and I figured I've figured out

(01:07:27):
real quickly. I was like, I'm not doing this right.
So I got a couple of who's this guy? Or
I don't think this is the right thing? And did
you get a lot of them for Valentine's Day? Because
they because I'll be such a big love song. This
is my super Bowl right now. Valentine's Day is my
this is it, this is it. I did ten yesterday
and I'll do ten again today and yeah, it's it's

(01:07:50):
full on. I love it. It's great. So I've been
getting cameos from people like I got I got my wife,
one from the dude that was from chips Eric No, no,
the other one. Don't know him. The other guy not
Eric strodo the other guy anyway. My wife's the big
fans I got her of cameo. Edwin McCain is here.

(01:08:11):
He's gonna play in a second. Well, actually, I like
to do this. The TikTok that I saw him, that
that brought him back into my life was him duetting
with someone because he would play the first part of
I'll Be and they would sing the second. And I
thought I was gonna jump in and do it to
do one too, but it just hurt. You should do
it and I'm not. But Amy is over here, and
I think we can try this. I'll be Edwin and Amy.

(01:08:34):
Oh boy, I'll be captain vated. Hang from you lives
stared up on the glos Hota, hang from Bey'll crying shoulder.

(01:08:57):
I'll be Love Sue was better when I'm molder, the
greatest fan of your life? Hey, what does that mean?
Love suicide? By the way, like help me. I've been

(01:09:18):
singing it for twenty years. I don't know what it means.
You know. I was pretty good at screwing up relationships
it in my early twenties and that was sort of
the explanation for it. Uh you know, I would I
didn't do. I didn't do very well. So that was
the end of them. So I that was how the

(01:09:40):
line came out. And it's funny because the record company
and every producer I ever worked with tried to get
me to remove that line, and I was just like,
I said, I'm I have the oppositional defiance disorder, and
you know it, just refused dug my heels in and
refused to change the lyric. And and that actually ended

(01:10:02):
up working in my favor because when Hillary Duff re
released the song on a soundtrack, they edited out that
lyric and I was like, you can't do that. And
I called my lawyers. I was like, they can't do that,
can they? They were like, no, they can't, and I
was like, okay, so that's how I have my bus. Now. Yeah,

(01:10:22):
we've thought about changing the name to the bus to
Hillary's Duff. But then Edwin McCann is here, how about this.
Let's do a verse and chorus of I'll be because
I'm gonna ask you do something else too, So wa
do verse and chorus's I'll close your eyes, Oh yes,
and picture ourselves, the strands in your eyes that colored

(01:10:44):
them wonderful. Stop steal my breath, emeralds from mountains, throw
starts the sky, never feeling intel, don't be we belong together.

(01:11:07):
Dress it down with the trappings of the love. Be
captain deedy, Hang from your lips, stand out on the gallows, party,
hang from far, and I will be You are crying shouldered,

(01:11:35):
I will be come suicide and I will be better
when I'm holding I will be the greatest family life.

(01:11:55):
Come like the greatest fair of your man horn. Come
on the estrogen bazooka, as we like to call it.
Let me sax players. Man. You ever see a sax
player with a personality? No, here's the question I have
for you, in the most respectful way. When you're eighty,

(01:12:15):
how are you going to sing that hit I hate?
Twenty five year old me put it in b I thought, oh,
we will have our hard time singing it when you're fifty.
I don't know. I hopefully you know what I get it.
I was telling something the other day, like I feel
like I've crossed over into this new category where I
go out to play. I still play seventy five shows
a year, and I played, you know, four or five

(01:12:37):
hundred seat rooms, everybody seated because they're all like me,
you know. And I started my I talked all the
promoters into letting me start at seven, and they're like, oh,
it's way too early. I'm like, trust me, we're gonna
sell these shows out. Seven. Dude, I got. I got
guys my age high five in the after shows, like, dude,
seven pm start time is amazing. I get home, get

(01:12:59):
rid of the babysitter, I get up and go to work.
It's fantastic. So I get a lot of credit for
just showing up and walking out there. Like people are like, oh, look,
he's still walking on two feet. I mean, it's kind
of cool. You cross over to this new terry. You know.
It used to be everybody's got their arms folded and
they're waiting, And now I just get credit for being alive.
It's great. Edwin McCain is here, such a funny guy.

(01:13:24):
I get it, Like, do you think if you wanted to,
you could just stop everything else and just go to
it Like there's because the nineties are so strong right now,
he's starting to beat Like I'm realizing now, I'm like,
I'm like, dude, this is my shot again. No, I mean, okay,
so let me just I got it. This is a confessional.
So I've got this little fighter in me right that

(01:13:45):
wants to like go for it one more time, like
my kids can see me go after it one more time.
And I was with my daughter's class. We went on
a fourth grade school trip in a bust full of
fourth graders, and I was watching old Prince videos, like
live Prince videos, and I was like, Yeah, I'm gonna
put a band back together, and we're gonna go on

(01:14:06):
the road, We're gonna put out a new record. We're
gonna do it again. And then by the time I
had spent I don't know three hours with fourth graders
at the State Capitol building, I found myself sitting on
a on a park bench feeding pigeons, going this is
okay too, I'm good. But here's the thing. So I've

(01:14:26):
been talking with Lee Bryce about doing a record with him,
and there's you know, there have been people been trades
like nudging me, trying to get me to do it again.
But name one artist that's ever been in the situation
I'm in that has ever actually come back and release
something everybody was like, yeah, new stuff, like everybody does that,
Like I'm guilty of it. I don't want to hear

(01:14:47):
new ACDC on here back in Black. Yeah, but you
know what I mean, Like I but inside, secretly, inside,
I really wish I could just do it one more time,
like put out a record, put a big tour together,
and spend all the money on lighting and sound and
blow stuff up and have tractor trailers and you know,
I mean, it would be great. I mean, listen, you're
you're a South Carolina guy. I mean I think you

(01:15:09):
could do a song with a Lee Bryce Damn. Mean
I did a song with him on his on his
last record. But I mean, I'm I'm talking about like
full board like a record. But you did a song
you hold on let Me Stop. You did a song
on his last record. Yeah, yeah that song? What was
that song? A Little Bird A Story to tell? It's
that's the song we were Wow. Yeah, I guess I

(01:15:31):
need to go listen to that. Yeah, that's pretty fun. Honestly,
can I can I tell this story? This is kind
of embarrassing for I might ruin my friends with him.
So it's a friend of mine named Philip Lamon's was like, dude,
Lee Bryce wants to write with you. I was like,
who's Lee Bryce. He was like, You're an idiot. And
I was like, what do you mean? And I was like,
because I'm so out of it, I really didn't. I knew.

(01:15:53):
I kind of knew Lee's name, but I didn't know.
I'm totally out of touch. I got nothing. I'm sending
at home watching Phineas and ferb and uh and and
and so Philip gets me here and I meet Lee
and I'm like, god, damgn man, this guy's I mean,
let's talk about a voice and just writer and everything.
And we wrote this song and you know, a couple

(01:16:15):
of hours and had a great time. And then um
and he had been to a bunch of my shows
early on and he was a fan or whatever, and
and so you kind of had this weird friendship that
started from me being a hermit living in South Carolina.
So it's just it's just been kind of a happy
accident and then all this sort of and here I
am again, you know, sitting here talking to you, which

(01:16:37):
is weird. Well, I'd like to hear if I can
keep requesting songs in my favorite part of my jobs
when I have people come in that I really like
and I can go, hey, do this if you don't mind.
I could not ask for more, which may have been
my jam, even more than I'll be. And then Sarah
Evans did a great job on this song too, This

(01:16:58):
lying with you, listening to rain, smiling justice, see smile
upon your faces. These are the moments, and I thank
God that I'm a lie. These are the moments I

(01:17:22):
remember my life. I've got all I'm waiting for, and
I couldn't I ask for more. He comes to the
aggressive part. I could not answer more than this time
to Gill, cannot ask for more than this time with

(01:17:44):
you and not be prayer, have been answering, and I
been dreamed by ass come true right here in this moment,
just right when I'm meant to be with you. You

(01:18:18):
Edie became that's awesome. I think you should. I think
you should be open to it. We're ready for you, Okay,
I think you should be open, you know. And Mitchell
Timpenny right, So I got like a teenage girl about
that song drunk me. I was like, oh my god,
this song is amazing. And I had him come and
sit in with us, Like, don't you think, like this

(01:18:40):
new generation of musicians are so much better than I know,
They're way better than I was at that age. Like
I look back, I see kids on TikTok and I'm like,
holy God, Like they're fantastic. Like there's some really great
like technical players, and I'm watched kind of doing their

(01:19:01):
thing on the TikTok and I think every single person
doing that needs to go out and open a guitar
case on a street corner and busk for a little while. Yeah,
that's the only thing they're missing, is this is this
sort of fearlessness to go out in front of people
and fall down and make mistakes, but learn how to
make that emotional connection because you just can't do it

(01:19:24):
by yourself with a camera in your room. You gotta
you have to go out there and play gigs. And
you gotta play gigs in front of hostile audiences too.
I mean, yeah, you can't. You can't just wait for
everybody to love you on the internet. You gotta go
out there and play for people that didn't didn't show
up to see you, like, spend some time as an
opening act. That's a really good thing to do. In

(01:19:45):
my opinion. You know, get out of my yard. My
final question for you, ad one, have you ever been
at a karaoke place or where they're singing karaoke and
someone gets up and sings your song while you're sitting there.
I got up and saying my song in New Jersey,
and I was like, this is gonna be awesome. This
is back when you're like, okay, like I want to

(01:20:06):
do a whole series on TikTok of doochy things I
did in my twenties and now like I'm totally embarrassed
about now. But I was like, I'm gonna be like
blow these people to wait. They're not gonna be expected
me to blok into this karaoke place in New Jersey
and sing my own song, right, So I go up
there and I sing it, and the guy that was
running the karaoke goes, yeah, that's pretty good. It's not

(01:20:28):
as good as the original guy. They didn't even recognize me.
Everybody just kind of blew it off. Yeah, listen, you guys,
go follow ed one on TikTok. It's the Edwin McCain
on Instagram and TikTok. And if you pay a hundred
bucks for a cameo, which I thought we should raise
the price. Now he will sing the song. Yeah, he
won't even be in a construction hat anymore. Yeah. I've

(01:20:49):
actually sung other songs too, Like it's funny as people
will send me cameo request and then I gotta go
learn somebody else's song and sing it to him. Would
you do hold my hand? By who? He had? No?
Thank you? You know absolutely? I don't. I don't. I
don't know. Is there are royals you have to fail
on that I don't ask, you don't ask, you don't
know you did it wrong? Edwin McCain. Hey, it's been

(01:21:10):
a real treat to spend a couple of days with you. Honestly,
I know we spent some time too together. Thank you.
M just was a big fan then I'm glad to
be a big fan again. I just it's crazy how
things come back around in life. And loved having you here.
I think you guys would all say the same thing, right,
of course. Is awesome, great interview, great great performance. And
when you're eighty and you have to take it down
a couple and you want to come and sing it again,

(01:21:30):
I'm gonna I'm gonna be like Molly Crue and just
played their tracks just sing sing two tracks can do that.
They do that well pop stars dud there's a track
playing and they sing over and under it and everything else.
Like the last I went to. I'm a huge Crew
fan and I went to the you know, they had
more fire and tracks underneath there. I was like, oh, okay,

(01:21:51):
this is what you do. Yeah, and nobody faults and
for it for people were there for the experience. Lose
all right there he is edwe McCain. It's the best
