Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Number two. Well,
let's up, y'all. Welcome to the Best Bits. It's Morgan here.
This is part one where I bring someone from the
show on and we have some fun, in depth conversations
about life, the show, and you know, whatever else gets
brought up. And this weekend is a favorite guest for
a lot of people. It is none other than Scuba Steve. Oh, yes,

(00:24):
it is the favorite guests. Yeah, it's awesome that I think.
I keep hearing that a lot lately. Yep, you and
Eddie are the two that people tend to say, mostly
just because I think our our conversations are so fun. Yeah,
I think so. Yeah, Like I have two older brothers
that I sit here and talk to. It is basically
how it feels. So I think that's probably what comes
off in the interviews. That's cool. I like it. Yeah.
Is that does that offend you if I say you're

(00:45):
an older brother? Because I am older than you and
I'm a guy, and I would be a brother making
sure every time I say older at all in a
phrase to Eddie or Lunchbox, they get automatically offended. Grandpas,
and I'd be like yeah, Yeah, I'm offended. I'm not
a grandfather. But brothers is fine. Yeah, I mean though
Eddie still gets the dad jokes a lot, so does Lunchbox.
You have not ventured into that area in my life yet.

(01:07):
I have not. You have not said dad jokes in
front of me and then I called you out for
But you also aren't one that I hear dad jokes
often from. No, I really don't do that. I'll take
them in and giggle, but I'm not one to dish
out of dad joke. Yeah, okay, I didn't think so
I wouldna say. I feel like I would have called
that out by now, but I've just never heard it
for that to have happened. Yes, it's partially also why

(01:28):
they all get offended. It's because they do it often
and so I call that out. Yeah, they don't want
to hear that, Yes, But excited to talk to you.
We got a lot to you know, catch up on
from Graceland to cmafest all the things. So we're just
gonna get started, okay. Coming in at number seven, Amy
was worried that she's a helicopter mom. After something happened
with her son, she said he could go bike ride

(01:49):
to his jiu jitsu practice, and then she followed behind
him just to be safe. But you know, Scuba, you're
a father. Yes, your kids aren't like grown and going
bike riding by themselves yet. Yeah no, But have you
reached helicopter phase? Are you a helicopter parent? So I
have a couple of different thoughts this. So I grew up.
I was the first of four, so I think being
the first child, you were a victim of being a

(02:10):
helicopter or dealing with the helicopter. The helicopter did my mom,
I was the first kid, so she like put me
in a glass case every night, took care like nothing
could happen to me. So I was raised that way.
And then meanwhile, my brother and sister come along and
they can do whatever the heck they want. They can
rather bikes wherever, they can do this, they and go that,
And I'm like, what the heck? I couldn't do anything
the first three or four years and still can't even now. Um,

(02:32):
So I had that, So that kind of makes me
almost be like, Okay, I shouldn't do the same thing,
because I felt like later in life it made me
want to do things that I shouldn't do a little
more rebellious exactly. Yeah, rebellious, but a safe rebellious sort of.
I don't know, but we can get to that for
another time. I feel like if I start pushing on

(02:53):
that button, we're going to dive into some darker things. Yeah,
very dark. I'll start off really dark, not out of dark.
But my son, when I first had him, I saw
this interview a long time ago from Neil de grass Tyson.
You know that is the guy from if you hit
a show for a while. I don't know what he's from,
but I do know who he is. He's a scientist.
Everyone knows who he is, and he's like, it's almost
like the new version of Bill and I. I guess

(03:14):
you could say, maybe there is no new Bill nice
but yeah, maybe alternate universe, yes, yeah, yes, the Mandela effect.
So he had this whole interview. It was about when
you have kids, the reason why we are what we
are is because our parents keep telling us, no, don't
do this, don't do that, no, no, no no, when

(03:35):
in reality, what it is as a when you're a
new human to planet Earth, you're curious, You're exploring and
trying everything out for the first time, and usually you
learn by either someone telling you know or you learn
by doing, and you find out either through getting hurt
or just not having a positive experience, you won't do
it again. So I was like the example of Gabe
was like, you know, the kids go to the kitchen

(03:55):
and they pull out the pots and pans and you're like,
oh my god, no, and you get all angry and
put them all back. But what if you allowed them
to do that? And then by align to do that,
they realize, oh, I like pots and pants. I like
to either drum and make a beat. I want to
become a drummer. And by you telling them no, you
may have stopped somebody to become the world's greatest drummer

(04:15):
or a musician because you kept telling them no, no, no, no,
don't explore that, don't explore these these sounds, these feelings
or whatever. And so you harness their creativity and change
their whole trajectory as a human because you did that
one time, that one thing of telling them no. So
I was like, wow, that really that really stuck with me. Yeah,
But like, how hard is a parent is to allow
the kids to literally explore all of that? Because kids

(04:36):
are crazy, Like they will explore everything they will until
they get to a point where they hurt themselves and
then or don't want to do it anymore. So I
had that mindset for a little bit. It was really hard,
those little things like pulling out the pots and pants
and like the dumb crap. It's like, who cares whatever,
That doesn't bother me. It's a pain in the butt.
I got to clean up and put it back, but

(04:57):
he got to explore and play with the cups and whatever.
I was like, I let him do that, but then
when he comes to a point where he starts to
endanger himself, I'll let him tiptoe up to it and
I'm like, Okay, nope, you're not that's a knife. You
can't grab the knife or you know, whatever it may be. Yeah,
So there is that line of like allowing them to
be themselves and be creative and do their thing and
also making sure they're safe. So I kind of in

(05:19):
between it. I'm not like a heck, no, you can't
do anything, and I'm not a do whatever you want.
I'm like right in that middle ground, trying to be
in that gray area as much as possible. Yes, yeah,
without trying to kill their childhood. Yeah, so yeah, has
there been a moment where you're like, oh, I definitely
helicoptered so far. No, not really. I feel like I
allow him to do almost the point where I probably

(05:40):
annoy other people in public places because I let him
do whatever he's doing to a certain point where I
have to kind of curb and go, you can't do that.
He's never rude or or mean or anything, but he'll
just try something and I'm like, oh, sure, do whatever
you're doing, like, yeah, sing that song really loud and well.
And I do think helicoptering, like because when they're young,
they have no idea of it, right, they're like mom
and dad, like, I love them so much, they're the

(06:02):
best thing in the world. And it's as they start
to get older that that helicopter thing becomes this part
of not only the parent but also the kid because
the kids recognizing it like oh I'm not getting trusted
or oh I'm not being allowed to do this. You
always say no, yes like, and so I think that
helicoptering does come later. So I am interested to see, like,
as your kids keep getting older and older, like how

(06:24):
that transitions for you. Yeah, over that course of time.
I hope they would. He would he and she and
all my kids will maybe open them more of a
trust between us, because I always felt like with our
parents there was like this this wall that you couldn't
go to them for everything because they set that that boundary.
And I feel like that boundary is good but also
bad because then they feel like they can't come to
you all the time, because like, well, Mom's really gonna

(06:47):
be mad at me for this, even though I really
could use her guidance right now, but I can't go
to her because she's gonna be pissed off. So I
just won't tell her and I'll deal with it myself
and figure it out my own, which sometimes gonna end great,
sometimes doesn't end that well well. And I will say, like,
my parents set it up that way, Like I, you know,
I knew I would get in trouble, but if I
really needed them, I could call them. And I knew
that at the end of the day, like in my heart, yeah,

(07:07):
even if like my stubbornness of being a teenager or
whatever would fight that, Like I knew it in my
heart that if I needed my parents, they were gonna
be there. Regardless, and if the trouble came after whatever,
But most of the time, like if I called them
and I needed them, they were focused on that rather
than the ladder, which was me getting in trouble and everything.
It would just come later out in like a conversation
like Okay, you know that was wrong. Yeah, so let's

(07:30):
make sure that doesn't happen again kind of thing. Yeah,
and it did. It created a really like special bond
with both of my parents. But much like you said
about you growing up being the oldest, I was the youngest.
What you want, I did, but I still was like
the rebel child. I was still doing things I shouldn't
have been doing. So it does happen with age two
for sure that they have so much more leniency with you.

(07:51):
And my older sister always said, similar to what you said,
that she couldn't do half the things that I could do. Yeah,
Like we've read bikes. Yeah, we lived on in his
neighborhood where there's like multiple could of sacks courts, and
I could only go I could only ride the bike
in our cold to sack and that was it. They
were able to go to two could to sacks over
to the right and to the left and then eventually
going to the gas station. I'm like, what the hell?

(08:13):
I couldn't even leave my street. It was ridiculous that
first time parenting compared to like a second, third, fourth
time parenting is a whole different ball game. Yeah, so
you're kind of like whatever, dude, Yeah, yeah, which is
very much how my parents were for me. But I
got into probably the most trouble out of all of
the kids, so that if that be anything, like, yeah,
there was a balance for my parents, but clearly not
for me. I did not listen very well a good

(08:33):
portion of my childhood. Yeah, but I love that. I
am excited to see what happens with your kids, especially
how you're going to be with a boy and how
you're going to be with a girl, because that will
also have a factor and a lot of things. As
much as like we don't want it to, it will
have a factor. It will because I know how boys are. Yeah,
so she's going to be treated a little bit differently,
just because I want to make sure she has as

(08:54):
tough but also a good kind person, but have that
tough exterior of like, don't mess with me until you
break down my barrier and you're my friend, then we
can be cool. Yes, definitely make sure she's protected teacher
to be a strong independent woman from the beginning. Yeah,
I mean I was that way, Listen, I was. I was.
This is funny. So when my parents had a parent
teacher conference, I think I was in like second third,

(09:16):
fourth grade somewhere right around there, and my parents um
went to my conference, and my teachers were like, we're
really concerned about Morgan. And they're like, okay, why she's
great grades, Like she's not anything wrong. I would only
play with the boys on the playground because I was
so rough that like playing with the girls they were
they wouldn't like playing the dirt and they wouldn't like
play sports with me, Like, so I would go and

(09:38):
hang out with all the guys on the playground. And
my teachers were so concerned about that, and my parents
were like, she's fine if she's cool with that, and
that's what she wants. Like, but they came home and
told me that just like, hey, how your teachers aren't
like fond of this, and like we all kind of
like collectively like, Okay, she's fine. Just let her keep
doing what she's doing. But I will never forget that

(10:00):
because it was like, why does it matter what I'm doing, Like,
as long as I'm hanging out and having a good time.
I had girlfriends, Yeah, I just didn't like playing with
them at recess because they weren't very fun at recess. Yeah,
they're boring. You want to do all the stuff the
guys were doing, getting dirty and running and branded. I
did get a lot of injuries, so that's partially why
they were working because I entered her. Yeah, she's playing
with them and playing hard. Yeah, so that that was

(10:20):
a problem. But I am I'm curious to see if
that if that happens with your daughter, if you raised
her in that way, that she's so strong and so independent,
that there is that side of the boys, like as
much as you you know, you know the bad side
of them, but there's also the side of them that
they're tough and they just want to have fun and
they are out there playing sports all the time. She's
going to end up being in that way, yeah, instead

(10:41):
of like hanging out playing with the dolls on the
playground kind of. Yeah, because she has her older brother
who's always been kind of punk on day one, so yeah, yeah,
I'm interested to find out what happens. I'm predicting the
future that she maybe like that. Yeah, but it'll be
very exciting. She's already kind of already at that point
now because she hangs out with him so much. She's
really tough. If she walked on the house like like
she's tough, like the rock, Like she has an attitude,

(11:02):
she has swagger. Are you going to put them in sports? Sports? Oh? Yeah,
my son's already playing soccer. Okay, he's killing it. He's
really really, really good at soccer. Love that impressive, like
a goalie or is he? I don't know any of
the other positions. They're four, so they're just kind of
Some kids are playing tax some kids are doing whatever.
Some kids are playing in the dirt, playing in the dirty. Yeah.
But my son, Legit will take the ball and he

(11:23):
will run up and down like he's got so much cardio.
He can run the entire game and never stops, like wow,
it's incredible. And he just scores tons of goals and
he can kick like as if he were playing in
high school, Like it's unbelievable how good he is. That's amazing.
A soccer star on your hands, yes, which I never
like soccer. Ever, even to this day, I don't even
like soccer. I'm not a soccer fan. Take him to
a Nashville SC game because I feel like he'd love that. Yeah,

(11:45):
now that he's getting to the point where he understands,
I will, yes, once they figure out the whole parking situation,
then I'll go there. Fair point. Well, I love that.
Is there something you want to make sure either one
of them play or at least give them the opportunity
to play. I mean, I want them to have the
opportunity to play all sports, So whatever they want to do.
I mean, my son likes golf, he likes soccer, he
likes baseball, he likes basketball, he now likes football a

(12:07):
little bit. So what if he wants to try them all,
I'll give him the tools to try them all. And
my daughters saying thing, whatever she wants, I don't care.
Which was when you were younger? So I played baseball
and basketball and then I just never no one ever
put the time and energy into me, and so I
just and I didn't have the confidence because no one
put the time. They put all their energy into one
of my brother and he was really good at baseball.

(12:28):
So they kind of like really focused on him. So
I just never really had the confidence to pursue it
and do anything further from that. So what I ended
up doing was that my brother's baseball games. I was
like eleven, I would. They had this big, huge middle
tower at Winter Springs Baseball Field and no one ever
went up there. The doors were always it was always
open because I would kind of you know, test it. It
It would always open, but no one ever went up there.

(12:49):
So one day I walked up the stairs and up
at the very top booth as all these like legit
like announcer areas. They have a microphone, they have a
score keeper, you can do everything. So I walked up
there and I was like whoa, Like okay, so let
me just what happened. So I went up there at
the start of his game, and I started announcing the
game and started keeping score because they never kept scoring
and bothering me. I'm like, how can you play a
game and never keep the score, like, and there's a

(13:09):
beautiful scoreboard right there. So I was like, screw that.
So I just wanted to keep score. So I kept
score and then one day I started messing with the
mic and I announced my brother to come up and
everyone started cheering. I was like, whoa, they liked this.
So then I started just calling the game like two balls,
one strike, and I just kept announced the game. And
then I came down for the first time. It was
like one of those movie moments where everyone was like
clapping like yeah. I was like what, I'm like, you
guys aren't mad, Like no, that was awesome. In fact,

(13:31):
can you announced the next game? And so I stayed.
So I ended up staying, and I end up announcing
a lot of different baseball games and keeping score at eleven.
So that that became my thing. So he moved on
to sports and was big with that, and I think
I found my knack to do some sort of like
personality type thing. Well. I love that you made the
best of that situation because clearly it wasn't what like

(13:51):
in your heart, that's not why you wanted to happen, right, Yeah,
But then you found a situation that clearly like carried
you into adulthood part of your life noway, yeah, do
you ever like look back though, and you're like, I
wish I would have played baseball and just like kind
of pursued it further on myself. Oh yeah, because I'm
extremely athletic and I'm really good at sports and just

(14:12):
but I just didn't have the confidence to go out there.
I always thought I had in my head like people
were gonna laugh me, or people make fun of me,
or what if I mess up, and like all these
things that you shouldn't really care about, which I'm trying
to instill in anyone that I meet that, like my
nieces and nephews and my kids, like turn all the
voices off, who gives a crap? Just go full force,
because if you have the athletic ability or have to
drive to do it, trans all you'll do pretty well. Yeah.

(14:33):
I can't think I was even professional, but at least
I could have maybe done really well and then had
that experience in high school and maybe college, and who knows,
maybe I could have been in the NBA, played in
the major leagues. I don't know. But I just never
really pursued it and didn't have the confidence to pursue it.
And I think the path just took me this direction instead.
So I mean, it again, clearly worked out, but I
hear it's my heart that you didn't get to explain

(14:54):
that maybe we do have to have a Bobby Bone
Show softball team. So yeah, you can start that again.
I'm telling you, like doing doing gymnastics has like retriggered
that part of my life that I'm like, oh, I
wish I would have pursued it more. But as a
kid and it was up to me, I just quit.
I didn't want to do it anymore. At what age
did you stop doing it? Well? I did cheerleading up

(15:14):
through all the way through high school, but gymnastics specifically,
I didn't stay in for more than a few years.
Like I was younger, I mean in my four or five, six,
somewhere on that range. So I could always tumble, but
like doing bars and fall and all the really cool
things that you see on TV, I didn't pursue. And
so like doing that now has like retriggered that. I'm like, well,

(15:35):
I can pursue it now. Who says I can't? Yeah,
just for I'm going to go to the Olympics. No,
this is great. What if it is a comeback story
with it, like the first person you know, because I
guess what they're always like fourteen, Yeah, the first person
twenty plus to make it to the Olympics. For gymnastics
being you don't do one thing and that's do you
think there are like competitive adult gymnastic competitions, Like if

(15:58):
I but I want it to be a hobby. I
want it to be just just a fun passion, like
reignited in my soul kind of thing. Yeah, but I
feel like that could be for you. With baseball, you
can kind of reignite that flame that was in your
life because even if you couldn't fulfill it, then you
can fulfill some part of it. Now. Yeah, that is
going to make you feel really good. Okay, I don't know.

(16:18):
I feel like it's something you should explore and we
can make that happen very easily. This whole this whole
show should be playing on a softball team. Family can
come out. It's not like there needs to be babysitters.
We can have babysitters in the dugout, Like, yeah, we're
just make a team. They have they have softball leagues
and stuff, right don't they all over Yeah? Okay, yeah
they have kickball, they have softball. Yeah we should totally

(16:39):
seam bonding anyway. Yes, it will be. Yes, See, we
just need to explore it a little bit and get
everyone on the same schedule and page and okay, school,
I didn't think have ours like you know, hit and balls.
Oh man, but we are leading into this next part.
At number six, you and Eddie did something that was
a bit unprofessional, as was the show deemed it. And

(17:03):
I want to hear about Graceland, but well, however you
want to talk about this. So on the show we
found out that you guys texted Gavin degrav video of
a guy performing his song I don't want to be Yeah,
And the show was like, why did you text them?
You shouldn't have text to them, so like, give your
statement side of this story, I suppose. So we were

(17:27):
we had got wood to this bar. It was after
the Elvis junket and Edie was like, Yo, we gotta
go to this bar is called Ernstein and Hazels and
it's a very iconic bar and Memphis. It's like, we're
I guess all the Memphis old school like jazz players
and people Graceland or was it like on Memphis like
the Big Street. It was about fifteen minutes from Graceland,
but not so Beal Street, which is downtown, which is

(17:48):
kind of Broadway in Nashville where all the bars and
stuff are, so it's not in there, it's more like
in more of the locals would hang out. So it's
a local bar where like Memphis Grizzlies players would go
music excuse me, musicians from back in the day even
til now. People will come there like all just like
people who are prominent in the area, this is at
their spot and locals. You can go there one day
and Justin Timberlake would be at that barn and everyone

(18:12):
would just leave alone because it's a local spot and
it's just justin and no one cares. Okay, So if
you're gonna go to this bar and you're gonna not
be chill, you can't go. You can't go exactly. Yea,
if you ain't even chill, you can't go here. Because
it's really cool because there's there's the bottom half and
then we didn't realize we would explored and went upstairs.
There's another half. The top half half. He used to
be a brothel and so people like Ray Charles used

(18:32):
to go there and do heroin and like sleep of
prostitutes and stuff. Oh my goodness. Well it's got a
lot of history. But they turned all those brothel areas
upstairs into offices and bathrooms, and there's a hidden bar
in the back called Nate's Bar, and it's a cash
only bar. And this guy's been around like since no,
like he's been there forever. It's his bar, and it's
like this really cool little hole in the ball bar.
So we hung up there, hung out there for a while.

(18:52):
I talked about because MLK got shot a blockover from
where we're at, so we talked about, like, hey, have
you seen have you met MLK? He's like, yeah, I
was there for his speech, just hanging out. I mean
all kinds of like interesting people that were coming through. Wow,
just like history, like in massive, live person not like
in a museum. No, Like we're talking to this guy
about like real American history. It is so cool. And
like all the people he knows that have come to

(19:13):
the bar that are celebrities that have that are like
regulars or will come in like twenty years later be
like hey Nate, I haven't seen a while, And I'm like, hey,
like who are some of the celebrities names. So one
of them that was really cool that I could that
I remember off the top of my head before we
got too drunk, was a guy named Shane Battier who
you wouldn't know, but Shane Battier is like a massive
basketball player. Played for Duke and then played for a
bunch of different teams. Grizzlies was one of them. And

(19:33):
he used to go to the bar a lot and
that's where he met his wife, was at Nate's Bar.
And then he moved away, went to play for Miami
Miami Heat, and they got an NBA championship in Miami,
and that very same night he flew on a private
jet or however he flew came straight to Memphis and
they celebrated at Nate's Bar with Nate to like, hey,
man I got the championship, bringing finally and there with
his wife. So he had all this whole story lineup

(19:55):
going there, meeting his wife and now sharing the championship
with Nate. I was like, wow, it's really cool, Like
he flew there in the first place he went was
to see you, to show you the ring. Like that's
really cool. That's really really special, but really special dude,
right here. Yeah, people were like as we're sitting there,
people would come in and go, man I came here
twenty five years ago and had some special, like this
really cool party and no, no, no, this one guy
was like, yeah, I'm now like a equity firm guy

(20:17):
and worth millions of dollars. And all these people these
crazy stories of coming here as a kid or a
teenager and then coming back and seeing him in that moment,
like it was like one by one, it was like
they're all come by to pay their respects to Nate
and the bar. So how old do you think Nate is.
I think he's a vampire. He could be, like he
could be three hundred years old. I was gonna say,
I feel like he has to be like eighty at least,
like somewhere in that ring at least eighty. Yeah, and

(20:39):
he's just sitting there, music's cranked up, he's smoking cigarette
at the cigarette and just kind of laughing at having
a good old time like he was the coolest dude.
I think he made that trip for us Sempis. I'm
trying to pull a picture just so you can see it.
Others won't be able to see it, but it'll show
for you. And so like anybody can go up there
or is it like you don't even know because it's
because you're walking around. But this is the guy Nate

(21:01):
just an og Yeah, I did see this picture you
guys posted. Yeah, we just talked about everything we putting her,
talked about Elvis m okay, the Bubbwezer factory, used to
work at the Bugweizer factory. Tom Brady. We're talking about
Tom Brady, Shane Battier and all kinds of stuff. Like
it was just like it was the coolest, but you
would not know unless you are a regular, Like people
who were coming there as a tourist, they may not
to go there because it's part of like one of

(21:22):
the tourist stops, but they wouldn't know to go upstairs.
They would just probably drink at the bar. I think
this is really cool and then bounce. But yeah, if
you adventure upstairs, which you would not know to go
upstairs because it's kind of hiden in the back, but
you go upstairs and there it is old brothel and
Nate's bar in the corner. Wild it is. So it
was such a cool experience. How long were you all
there for? Well, we were there for a few hours,
closed down the bars. We didn't close it down because

(21:43):
we ended up believing around like eleven thirty ish, but
we got there. I forgot what time we got there,
but we got there at night. And then we have
probably like six or seven drinks, which I all usually
have one or two. Yeah, who are having a time, Yes,
but we weren't driving, so I was like, okay, we Yeah,
the first time I uber in a while. You got
it was Dad's weekend off. Yeah, I get it, I
get it. Yeah, And we were on a high. We
had a great press junket and everything was really cool,

(22:05):
and so we we get pretty tipsy and Eddie. Eddie
had like six or seven beers. I had several whiskey
and coats. Hey, several beers and whiskey and calls are
two different things. Yeah, a difference in drunkness right there.
I was a little more drunk than Eddie was probably
And then so then we were like, okay, let's let's
go downstairs and uh, let's close at our tab downs
because it's two different bars upstairs, cash bar downstairs earns

(22:27):
seen in Hazel's. We had a card on file. Go
downstairs and there's now a performer there. Now we hear it.
I'm like we're here and there like, oh this is
a pretty good. This guy sounds really good, Like, holy crap,
this guy's awesome. We get closer and closer, and then
there's a performer. As you see in most places now
you have a guy playing the guitar. But we were
enthralled because he's playing guitar and he's got this board
in front of him. He's got like nine or nine

(22:47):
ten different pedals, which if you play a guitar you
know like what that means. Basically, he can like change
the sound on his guitar and then he would record
something and then then he'd let that play on a
loop and then he'd played like a solo over it,
and I'm like, wow, this guy is like, guy's going
to hard. He's really really good. And then I walked on.
He's singing um Incubus drive interesting, okay whatever. It's like, oh, okay, cool,

(23:17):
sweet sweet voice. And then this comes on, so okay, cool, cool,
cool cool, and he's seen with a little bit of
a raspy voice and does a cool little like solo. Yeah,
and I also think I heard you and Eddie singing

(23:38):
in that one a little bit. We're definitely singing in
these videos. Yeah, this is the one right here. So
this is the little video we're all talking about so
he's singing in I think he's killing it. Even sober,
he's doing really great. Drunk everyone's great, Oh yeah, I'm sure,
especially if you guys are even drunk, you're like, oh

(23:59):
my god, he's in the best I've ever heard in
my life. Listen to that. I did. He going yes, sir,
So I record that, and then I swear to you
it was Eddie that goes, dude, you should send it
to Gavin, and I was like, and then I think
we had one of those moments like nah, He's like, yeah, dude,

(24:19):
send it and I was like, no, it's like ten
thirty eleven, hug a night. And I was like, but Gavin,
he's a bar dude, Like he owns a bar. He
goes out late, he hangs out with m Kittie who
works here in the building Big ninety eight. I was like,
he's one of them Kiddi's dudes, Like he's gotta be up,
come on. I was like, a screw it. So I
sent him this the video apeful of the text. The
best part is that I'm picturing this and like, you

(24:40):
and Eddie just had to be drunk for this. All
that for this all to like transpire, yes, and I
wanted to preface that I've never done this before. It
was the first time I've ever done this through peer pressure.
And so I send Gavin the Grawl the video and
I said, dude's killing it in Memphis, and we were
gonna play Gavin the Grawl's interview on Monday. This was
I think Saturday, yeah, And I was like, dude's killing

(25:01):
him Memphis. We're going to play him back on Monday
instead of you. I was like ha ha ha, And
I sent the video and then he doesn't respond for
a while, and let's see what time did he finally respond?
He responds, oh, fifteen minutes later he responds yes, and
so we're like, cool, cool, cool, cool, that's awesome. So
then we um the guy takes a break who's playing guitar,
and now we're all like, like we should should we
tell him that Gavin Degrawl saw his video. So we

(25:28):
walk out. They were like hey man. I was like,
I was like, that was a great job. You were
you were that was amazing. We'd give them pay him
all these compliments. Hey, what's your name? And we find
each other on Instagram. His name is Charvi uh Maclamore,
Oh you you guys had the time with this mad Yeah.
We hang out with Charvi for sure. We're out there
talking and chopping until our uber came like, hey, I
just want to let you know. I was like, I
was like, I've never done this before and I don't
know if we should have done it, but I was like,

(25:49):
we sent Gavin Degrawl a performance. Have you performing a song?
I don't want to be And he's like, whoa, dude,
it's so cool awesome man, wow wow? Like did he respond?
I was like, hey respond, he just wrote yeah, yes.
I also like this just listening to the text messages
and the fact of what you said and all he
was on it was yes, yeah, sure. How to feel

(26:10):
about that? It was like send me years number. I
want to put him onto him. Yeah this is awesome.
Ha ha, that's funny, Like it was just yes, you
didn't know what to say. I realized that in retrospect
that should not have ever done that, poor Gavin. And
also like, this is funny because you and Eddie neither

(26:30):
one of you get drunk very often, let alone together. Yes,
and this is also probably why you're not allowed to
we egged each other on completely. Yeah, for sure. I
know if it was just one of you, neither one
of you would have done it. But the fact that
you were both together, you were both having a time. Yeah,
and you're like, you know, yeah, that sounds like a
great idea. You know, when you go out and at

(26:52):
night and you have a little too much drinking, like
that sounds like a great idea. You bake up the
next morning and you're like that did not sound like
a good idea. Who are you and why are you
in my bed? Yeah? I feel like that's the moment
you guys probably had the next morning. Oh my wife,
if she were there, she'd be like, no, you're not
doing that, don't do that. I'm like, come on, She
like no, I'm like all right, you're right, I want
to do it. She would have been like the level head,
No matter she could have a thousand drink. She would

(27:12):
have said, no, but you put me eddie together Yeah, yeah,
and a little whiskey coats and bearing time. YEA regretted?
Are you just over it at this point? It's whatever?
At this point, it's whatever. And I've never when I
could have sent it to Gavin. The girl I think
is the most laid back and chill and cool and whatever.
It wouldn't give it very true. He's the greatest guy,
so I believe that part of it. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

(27:34):
I'll never text him again unless he hits me up.
I think you might have ruined the opportunity for him,
but I appreciate that we are now moving on from
this morn. Yeah. Well, the rest of the trip was
awesome though. How you guys had a good time. It
was a really really good time. The road trip there
was awesome. Um, it was a little bit of a mess,
like on their end, but like the organization, but it

(27:56):
was the trip as a whole was really really good.
We met Priscilla, who's um Elvis Presley's ex wife, and
that same night we were drunk go back to the
hotel we did. It's so weird, like, like, if you're
thinking of Priscilla Presley, like she's literally the ultimate female,
Like was married to the most difficult man in history,
Elvis Presley, Like she had to have the thickest skin
to deal with that forever and have a like she's

(28:18):
she's a ge, Like she's a badass. How long were
they married for? I mean, I know they were married
because I know of her last name, but I just
I mean it in divorce, she eventually got out. She
eventually couldn't handle it anymore, and then divorced him, and
then I think he died like a few months later.
I don't know how long they were married for. I'm
sure the internet work, so I know I'm looking. My
internet's terrible right now. But like, I'm just so curious
about that. Oh, they were married for five years. Oh

(28:40):
five years, Okay, so not very long, but maybe they
were dating prior to that for a minute, I don't know,
but five years is still a long time to deal
with somebody who someone like Elvis Presley. This is just
like the top thing, it said. Priscilla met Elvis in Germany,
where he was stationed with the US Army, when she
was fourteen and he was twenty four. A couple married
eight years later and welcome to their daughter, Lisa Marie

(29:02):
Presley in nineteen sixty eight. Oh, so they means they
were together for a good five years marriage eight years dating.
They were together a long time, but only married for
five years. But also interesting because she was fourteen years old,
so then being married for art not together for a
long time was interested. Yeah, so I'm true that a
relationship still probably not legally, but they did. But that's
thirteen years with somebody dealing with that kind of a

(29:23):
person Yeah, like an Elvis type personality who the whole
world wants. That could be stressful. So we're like, so
that kind of an ilk of a celebrity status as
well trying to paint. You would not think would be
someone who'd just be chilling in the lobby at a hotel.
You think she'd be protected, she'd have security, she had
people around her. If she was doing a press thing,
they would have shoot her along and told her to
go up to her room and leave all these peasants alone. Yeah,

(29:44):
we'd come back to the hotel lobby and this is
like hours after the premiere, and she's chilling in the lobby,
just hanging out, and every once in a while, Fami
will come up and talk to her, and then Eddie goes,
that's Priscilla Presley and we're super drunk, and I was like, no,
she's all by herself. Why is she by herself? But
that's not Priscilla And she turns around. I'm like, oh
my god, it's Priscil Presley. She's looking at us, and
Eddie goes, hey, Prisila, can we get a picture? And

(30:07):
she was like sure, and she takes a picture. And
then I'm like, I didn't want to ask for a picture.
I never asked her pictures. And Eddie goes, do get
in or get a picture a picture? Does he want
a picture? And I was like, are you sure it
was a priscility mine? And I was like, She's like yeah, fine,
So I got a picture of Pristila as well. I'm like,
this is so rat. Like eleven thirty at night, midnight,
she's in the hotel lobby just talking to fans, Like
how cool is that? No, that's awesome, really really cool.

(30:28):
Well she is there like a hotel bar or something
that she was hanging out at or was she just
like in the lobby? So the way them So Elvis
Presley's house they called Graceland, and next to it they
built this relatively new hotel they called the Guest House Gotcha,
And it's like three wings and it's a big hotel,
but it's all like Elvis Presley themed and obviously towards
him and his family. So you get a lobby next

(30:48):
to the lobby as a hotel bar and then you
got elevators in rooms. So she was in the lobby
slash hotel bar area hanging out with by herself what
it seemed like. But there were still some people there
from the press, Junket, Warner Brothers, people like, there was
like some stragglers that were left over from the movie screening.
But I was just surprised she had hung around that
long after the movie screening. I'm like, what the heck
is going on right now? This is so cool? Well,

(31:10):
I wonder what I mean, she's older now, so I
just wonder, like if she's like kind of in retirement
she's hanging out like chilling, Yeah, then maybe that's something
that's fun for her because she actually gets to be
out and about and it's like controlled environment rather than
me out and about somewhere else and it's not controlled. Yeah,
because there wasn't a lot of people. It was like
maybe fifteen twenty people. Her daughter was not having her
daughter was gone, she was already out, All the grandkids

(31:31):
were gone, but it was just her. I was like, Okay,
but to your point, maybe she's like this is a
controlled environment. I feel safe if something goes down, but
this would be a space where no one really want
to mess with her because huge fans of her and
her husband. So yeah, you're right, yeah, but it was
really cools, like, well, oh my gosh. And Tom Hanks
was there that weekend as well at the Elvis John
Get but we missed him. He was he was there,
he was at So they every time they do like

(31:53):
a press screening, there's always like a sit down before
for like they do like twenty minutes with usually the
director and like a couple of the actors in the film.
They just kind of talk about stuff for a little
bit and then they screened the film. Well, so we
were going to go in for our for our screening
to watch the film, and the service was awful. And
Eddie's one of our jobs is to post, you know,

(32:13):
Instagram stories and things like that on our Instagram, and
he was he want to post all these little things,
and I was like, just post a letter. Who cares, like,
because I want to post it now. Yeah, I mean
totally could have waited. He could have done it any
other time, any other time, like later on the evening
the next day, whatever, who cares, It's Saturday night. Let's
move on, and so he's like, no, I gotta get
it this posted now. So the only way we could

(32:34):
get a WiFi was to go back up to the room.
So I was like, all right, So we go back
up to the room and then that twenty thirty minute window,
that's what they did the whole like here's best Man,
Austin Butler, special guest, Tom Hanks and all these things.
Because then I'm looking on everyone's Instagram, um handle because
my friend Erica is there and I'm seeing always pictures
post and everyone else posting stuff, and I go, look, crap,
Tom Max is here, Tom Mankes is here, And I'm like,

(32:55):
do I tell Eddie? Do I not tell Eddie? By
the time we get down there, it's already don there,
movie is already on. Yeah, So I didn't tell him
because I want to, Like he still doesn't know. Oh
he knows now. I told him when the drive home, Like,
you idiot, you should have just stuck it out. We
should have stayed there and just you would have seen
Tom Hanks because I had a feeling that Tom Hanks
is gonna be there, because you had you'd seen him
the day before at CMA Fest. I'm like, why would

(33:16):
he be here in Nashville unless he was gonna be like, oh,
two birds, one stone, let's take the take my wife
to go see CMA, and then we'll go to Memphis.
I have to be Memphis anyway, so I might as
will do both um and then I'll go home and
go wherever. I guess he went to New York next,
So so that was I was like, this totally makes
sense he'd be here, and sure enough, freaking Tom Hanks
is there. Oh my gosh. You guys talk about Eddie

(33:37):
getting karma twice or ditch ey Thursday night and wanting
to vote something on Saturday night and not seeing Tom.
That is that is his own karma. Yep, twice he
got hit. You're right because he was supposed to be
there Thursday night and he wasn't. That is his own karma.
Come back, I do if anybody doesn't blame karma two
times in the same like a couple of days, like
two three days. Yep, oh my god, missing both opportunities.

(34:01):
But I bet he wouldn't have stayed and talked after
like the rest of them did. I saw like Austin
Butler talk to you guys for a while and yeah,
he wasn't in part. So before all that they get,
they put us in like a media area to like
meet everyone, and Tom Anks was not part of that.
Ye could have seen him, but meeting him probably wouldn't
have happened. No, And I even try to explain Tom, like, hey,
it's fine, worm, but you met Priscilla. I was trying
to call him, and you met Austin Butler, who is

(34:22):
a massive actor right now, huge, So I'm trying to
talk him off the ledge, like it's fine, you'll meet
But I've never seen Tom Manks in flash. Have you
ever seen Tom ankson Flash? I'm like, I'm not gonna
tell him that I have. I don't know, dude, but yeah,
but you saw Priscilla, like the queen elt was his wife?
How do people got that photo? Like like no one did?
And he's like, yeah, you're right right, but Tom Anks
in the Flash, I'm like, we work in the industry
where it's gonna happen at some point. Yeah, you hope

(34:44):
so at least yeah, I mean you hope. So I
hope for him because he was not happy when he's
on me with mine And I'll talk about that a
little bit later. But I'm so I'm just so glad
y'all had a great time at Graceland because everything looked
super fun and how was the movie? Movie? It was good.
It's one of those things obviously for now, as Fantom,
I know what, you're gonna like it. Because you're just
a homer, You're gonna be all about it. Yeah, if

(35:05):
you like bas Lerman films, which I like The Great Gatsby,
just because he loves the Great Gatsby, Right, So he
likes making movies in that time period like that twenties, thirties,
forties fifties, which is Elvis's time period, fifties and sixties,
a little bit his age range, right, he's older. He's
a much over a guy. He looks like with tons
of plastic surgery. He's also a vampire. He could probably
be one hundred and thirty. I want to because I
saw you you had posted I think it was you,

(35:27):
maybe it was Eddie, but one of you guys had
posted like a video of him that was out there,
and I was like, oh my gosh, how old is
that man? Oh yeah, he looks like he probably is
like a hundred, but he with with all the things
he's done, to him, he probably is like looks like
he's sixty. Interesting, he's only fifty nine years old. What
that's a lie? Oh listen, that's what that's that can't
be true. That can't be true. Is that wikipedia it? No,

(35:48):
it's literally since fifteen. He was born in September seventeen,
nineteen sixty two. I don't know. I think your guys'
video also, and as you're saying in personal, but these
pictures of him, he doesn't look super old. Maybe it's
just because his hair is so white, could be comes
off of it. But like he's also like a silver fox.
Like he's a good looking dude. He's not a bad
looking guy at all. Yeah, but he looks like someone
who's been around for a while but looks good for

(36:11):
his But I could have twenty he was older. It
maybe like interesting and like the sixties. This happening before
when I had Neil in studio a long time ago,
you know Neo Neo in Eyo. Yes, yes, so he
was in studio one time and like in our prep
for the interview, like you just put to the crap
like his at the time, it was like it's Facebook page,
it's my spook page. MySpace and all this crap like
that in his age and I put his age on

(36:31):
there and that. I don't remember the exact numbers, but
let's say I put it was his age was twenty nine.
And then he's like, oh, say man, you're doing You're
doing a lot for twenty nine. He's like twenty nine.
He goes, no, I'm thirty four, and he goes, what
do you go? And then I remember the host getting
so pissed at me. He's like, Steve, come in here,
and I was like what. He goes, Neil twenty nine
and I go, yeah, that's what I said online twenty nine.
He goes, show me that right now. So I pulled
up right in front of him and Neil and I'm like, look,

(36:53):
twenty nine. He goes, Oh that my team did that
to make it seem like I was younger. He goes, nah, dude,
I'm like thirty fee because I'm thirty four. He goes,
I'm not twenty nine years old. So his team controlled
the internet to make him seem like he's younger. So
whatever Neil is now on the Internet, add five years
to it. Interesting. I wonder what it does say now
Neo age and I wonder you have won if they
ever changed forty two? Forty two, Well, that is a lie.

(37:15):
He is forty seven. Do you think that's actually true,
like now that it's still thick, what's think forty two?
How many years ago that was? You would be born
in nineteen seventy nine, nineteen seventy nine, And I did
that show that was about thirteen years ago, so thirteen no,
so they'd be lying. Still his age is not forty two. Interesting.
I do think that probably happens some online, and I

(37:37):
don't even think they probably like review it with the people.
They just kind of do it as an image thing totally,
because age is typically not talked about either. Yea, until
you start getting older and you start like just recognizing
that people are changing. Like Beyonce. Beyonce, whatever age she
says she is, that's a lie too. She's older. Oh yeah,
but she doesn't look a day over thirty. No, not
at all, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Another person drinking Babycore blood

(38:00):
out in the water. I don't even start drinking. Oh
my god. Okay, but movie great. What would you give it?
I would give it four blue suede shoes out of
five ft five, not even five out of five. After
all that, well, it's a really long film. It's over
two and a half hours, and I could see some
people misinterpreting it because it's very fast paced, like boom
boom boom, boom boom. But I feel like artistically they

(38:21):
did that because Elvis's life was very fast, go go, go, go, go,
go go, and a lot of bad decisions. So I
think it's a really good film. I think it's really cool.
But I just know critics are very, very harsh, and
I can see them being harsh on the run time.
I could see him being harsh on it being too
fast and not thinking about why things are done a
certain way. But if you love Mulan Rouge, if you
love Great Gatsby, the bass lerman films, the color, the

(38:43):
way he shoots it and the cinematography is beautiful, I
think I love this because both I'm obsessed with both
of those movies and the music too, and the music,
and it's also really cool and awesome. Butler is a
great actor, and he puts so much time into the
Rold to become Elvis and sound like Elvis and sounds
a lot like him, a freaking babe, So him being
Elvis just make sense, Oh totally, like like all all
the other ones. For example, Um, what's the one Bohemian

(39:05):
rap city? Oh yeah, what's his name? Rommy Malock or
Robby Mallock plays plays Um what's his name? Damn? What's
his name? I didn't think his name? Freddie Murcury Queen.
He plays Freddie Murcury, but they that right, Yes, he
plays Freddy Mury. But he doesn't sing any of the songs.
They try to hide that it's Mark Martell. He sings

(39:26):
all the songs. He's been in our show, and he
sings all the songs. But in this case for Elvis, awesome,
Butler actually sings the songs. He's singing it and he's
the voice and he's everything. So even there, it's like
another little notch of like this is super authentic and
really really cool. Yeah, super talented. Yes, I mean he's
already been blowing up, so he's definitely just gonna keep
headed on that atmospe and he's so cool. Like him
and I were having a real conversation until Eddie Poll

(39:47):
has stupid phone, Like I was like we were like legit,
like just talking about I don't remember we're talking about
like it was like I think he asked about my
nickname Scuba Steve, and we started talking about something else
and then Eddie, Eddie puts his arm around and pulls
the phone out and he goes, you get seen in
the video. Oh my god, that video made me so
uncomfortable because him and I are like having a really
you could see we're having a real conversation, and then
he goes, Eddie pulls on the phone and like, oh,
we're doing that now, Hahn and Austin goes, hey, and

(40:09):
I gotta put on my okay face, like I gotta
play along to this. I'm like, Eddie, you know what
Eddie did in that moment. He pulled a freaking lunchbox.
He did. I'm not continue. When I saw that video
because I was watching all your guys stuff, I had
to like repost some of it and all that, and
I saw that video and I cringed first of all,
and then secondly, I was like, he straight up looks

(40:29):
like lunchbox. That's a lunchbox move that he just did. Yeah,
he gives lunchbox a hard time all the time about Yeah,
that's exactly what just happened. Because you saw Austin's demeanor. Right,
he was like having a conversation with me, and it
quickly went to crap, yep, I'm I'm on someone's cell
phone right now. Yeah, And like you could still have
done that at the end, like you guys could have
kept talking and when the conversation naturally ended, you could

(40:50):
have been like, hey, can we grab a picture real quick? Yeah? Yeah,
that's the easiest way to get both right, totally have
a conversation and then move on. Yea, because because even
I had to like try to soften the blow, I
was like, all we're doing now. I don't know if
that he posts that part of the video. I think
you hear it. We're doing this now, how we're doing
we're recording this And I could see Austin going like,
thank you for someone being human and are saying that
this is weird. Yeah, we as society, I think that

(41:10):
it's okay at all, at all points in the world,
we can just pull our phone and go, hey, hey,
I'm recording you. Like that's so ef an annoying. Yeah, yep,
he pulled the lunchbox. So next time we hear it
on the show where he's giving him a hard time.
Something's got to throw a red flag because he did it,
and we have video proophone literally, yeah, so we do.
Oh man, well I didn't see Elvis. Yeah, I'm excited

(41:33):
now because of your review and all your conversations. I'm
so excited to see it. It comes out next Friday,
June twenty fourth. Okay, you're gonna have to go. I
mean I already went to my first movie, topcom Maverick,
by myself a theater. Okay, cool, there's definitely a theater movie.
This is a theater movie for sir, So maybe Elvis
I will do the same. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, what's
all going to a theater by yourself? It was so free.
It was such a good experience. I was nervous at first.

(41:53):
People were looking at me all funky. I felt like thinking,
like something again, come out earlier, the voice in your
head turn them off. Was thinking that. But then as
soon as I sat down and I was just like
sitting there by myself and enjoying the movie, I was like,
this is amazing. Nobody's talking to me. I can just
sit here and enjoy and I can leave right after
and just enjoyed the time that I had by myself,
so it was Freez and maybe my second one will

(42:15):
be Elvis. Yes, I see a theme and attractive men
that I got. I did watch Hustle on Netflix, so good. Yeah,
four out of five. Whistless basketballs. I'm not very clever
with my rating system. Four out of five. Great movie, okay,

(42:36):
Adam Sandler was really cool to watching it and the
lead guys super attractive, so that was. And then I
did watch Interceptor on Netflix as well. Interceptor it has
Chris himsworth wife in it. She's like the lead in it,
and Chris Hemsworth makes like cameos in it, which was
like kind of threw me off. I didn't even know
about this. It just came out recently, and I loved

(42:58):
the storyline. It was pretty interesting. And she is just
a badass, like well critics go hard on it, yeah, listen,
like she is a ba, Like she doesn't get enough
like street cred or whatever anything credibility. Um, but she's amazing.
But yeah, as far as the movie itself, like, I
would not watch it again. It was it was not

(43:19):
really a good nah. I'd give it like two out
of five. Potaki is that her name? Yeah, I don't
know how to pronounce it? Is it? Pat? You have
the right name, I just don't know how to say
it correctly. Why did you go by Elsa Hemsworth? Well,
she was an actress in her own right before they
are married, I believe, so they're kind of on their

(43:39):
own Tepperly and she's pretty big. Um. I'm not sure
where she's from, but I'm pretty sure she was big there.
And then you know all the things, so they're but
they were both in that movie. You know. I started
watching more because you told me they do more in
the season two which was upload. Yeah. Yeah, I'm having
through season two and like they could definitely do more.
So I don't want to ruin if anyone watch, but

(44:00):
holy crap, you have not watched out Below. You need
to watch it from the beginning because it is what
they do. It's like all the things that I was
thinking in my head. I'm like, they wouldn't go there,
but they went there. That's why what you're talking about
was like, you just have to watch season two. Yes, wow,
is that cool? So good? Right, but you haven't finished
it yet. I haven't finished through season two yet because
then that's when we went to go pick up my kids.
From the Bay and so now we don't have TV

(44:20):
time anymore. Oh, we watched Everything He Wants and She
Wants Fair Fair Patrol movie you don't even make some
time this weekend and just watched the last of them
because she'll be like, oh my god, it's so good.
But also hold on to it maybe until they come
out with season three, so you can season three. Is
that gonna be a thing? I believe they confirmed a
season three, but I don't know if they've started shooting

(44:40):
it yet or anything. Okay, of course, all the movies
and shows I watched always takes so long to film
and come out later they do, especially if they came
out before COVID and then they're on a hold till after.
Outer Range on Amazon Prime is another one you should watching.
Outer Range. It's about this guy who finds basically a
hole in the ground on his ranch. And I'll leave
it there. Is it like a thriller, sci fi type situation.

(45:01):
It's sci fi thriller, but also like a ranch move show,
okay on a ranch, and there's like a little bit
of action and drama, and there's a huge plot line
that creates It's just it's really I think you love it.
I think you love it. Yet this is scary. It's
not scary, it's just thriller, like the things that happened
like oh my god, wow, Okay, a thriller. But I
can't do scary, so I always try to make sure
I don't start watching. But it also makes you believe

(45:23):
like like this could be a thing in the middle
of nowhere, like in our country that we just don't
see because it's this guy was a farm. It's like
five hundred acres big, and no one can explore all
that land. And one day he gets to a part
where he'd never went and then he's like, oh my gosh,
there's a hole in the earth. Oh my gosh. Okay,
So upload on Amazon and Outer Range. I think they
just are releasing season two now. Season one's been out
for a minute. But oh my god, it's another really

(45:44):
good one. Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna check that out.
Because you also listened to me and did upload, I
will listen and watch Outer Range. Yeah, I'm only two
episodes in, but my mom extremely hooked. Oh yeah, well,
if I get past the two episodes, and I tell you,
I'll be like Scoobo we got a problem because I
you binge watch this thing. Yeah, you'll be between one
and two. They're great, so fine one and two. I

(46:05):
will only hold you accountable. But also check out Hustle
on Netflix. We have Adam Sandler on and that movie
is really great and critics gave that like awesome scores.
So cool for him, really exactly, heck yeah, I think
it was like his highest rating Netflix film or something. Yeah,
like at least highest critiqued film ever or something like that,
which how he doesn't have more higher ratings, I have

(46:27):
no Everyone hates on the concept if it's like most
of his movies are just our movies. You watch and
turn your brain off and just enjoy it. You can't
critique the hell out of out of his movies, Like
if you were to really critique Happy Gilmore, like there's
a lot of crap in there that's like it's stupid,
but it's a stupid movie, just I don't really enjoy it.
Critique comedies or rom coms, those are meant to be
like just hit you. However it hits you a little cheesy.

(46:49):
It's fine, like yeah, not meant to be like, oh
my god, two stars. Yeah, the plot line. I just
can get it and pay off and shut up. Yeah,
you're a critic because you couldn't make films yourself. Exactly. Yes,
so we've said it right here. Comedies, romcoms do not
look at audience or critique, score anything exactly. Watch it.
Even sometimes action films, I feel like they're just stupid.
And that's just the way it is. Like no one

(47:09):
could really jump off a building and survive. But it's
but it's fun to watch, you know, it is fun
to all those like dumb action movies. A lot the
more dumb. But it's just that's just the way it is. Yeah, Hey,
Steve said it. That's just the way it is, just
the way it is. Also on the show this week,
we of course had rejected segments. But right now I

(47:29):
want to share something with y'all because you know, there's
segments that get added on the air, and then there's
rejected segments that were initially rejected and then still get
talked about on air. But then there's segments that never
see the light of day. Okay, And I need to
tell you about the story scuba and it's probably not
super interesting, but you know what, I thought it was
interesting Okay, all right, tell you this is my rejected

(47:49):
rejected segment. Rejected segments, double rejection. So I went to
a waterfall about an hour outside of Nashville. Okay, I
saw that one when you went to yeah insane waterfalls. Yeah,
it's called Cummins Falls. Okay, and you have to have
a permit to go in there. I don't think it
costs very much, but you need that permit to go
in that way, they can manage how many people are there,

(48:12):
because this didn't used to be the case, and some
people got you know, not well afterwards. Okay, because it
is there's so much river, there's a lot you have
to make sure you're paying attention to weather and all
these things. So they got a place for me to
take my kids. No, you can, there are kids there.
There's a watering hole once you make it to there,
but you are hiking, so you just want to make
sure that everybody there is like able bodied. Okay, if

(48:33):
that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, I mean I had to
carry Rammy at a few parts because she don't want
to wait through the waters. But so if I can
carry Rammy, I think I think the kids are good.
Just depending on how much you feel you want to carry,
but it is. It is a decent little hike to
the waterfall. But they have park rangers there now. They
regulated it so much that there's like full on park rangers.
There's four of them there at the watering hole and

(48:55):
there's like two there can be a max of two
hundred people out there, and so everybody's like hanging out
here and we're all just like enjoying the waterfall and
we're just happy we made it to the waterfall. After
the adventure to get there. It's probably really hot outside.
You're like yeah, yeah, having a good time. And as
we're watching these park rangers, one of them has to
rescue a guy. I literally watched a guy get rescued. Wow,
like drowning. Yeah, at least from what we could tell.

(49:17):
We're not sure because like you can, like while you're
walking to these boulders and trying to get across and
maneuver to get to the waterfall, like you can fall
in the water and there are streams that could push
you further away, Like it just isn't You just have
to be very careful, right, Yeah, And so we don't
know how this guy got into this position. But in
the waterfall. He was like splashing around. It looked like

(49:38):
he was drowning. We're not sure if he was stuck
or what. But the ranger just kept yelling at him,
pulled her up. We're at the rope rope. We heard
him say that like ten times before the guy finally
grabbed the rope and like pulled him up. Was the
guy just like going under like hit water, energy ears
or something. Kept seeing his head, So I'm just not
sure if he didn't hear him or what, but like
panicking freaking out. It was such a weird thing to

(50:00):
experience from the thing because everybody just stood there. Nobody
was like, you know, rushing around trying to make sure
he was okay. It was the ranger had it under control.
You don't mess with that. But like the ranger was
trying to be as like kind but mean as possible
of saying yeah. And so I just like I've never
been in a situation where I've had to see that
happen before, and it was so interesting, like so glad

(50:22):
the guy's okay, cool, that's the number one thing. He's okay,
all good. But on top of that, just watching the
ranger like be as nice as possible, also as mean
as possible, like I just have never expected that to
be how that went down, and I guess I never
even knew how I expected it to go down. And
that's what it's all about, and that was there was
something good. It's like you hear him in those stories

(50:45):
and you read him on the news, and you see
him in movies. I can never full on really see
it in real life, Like I r L as a
cool kid, say yes, like RL rescue, I saw an
IRL rescue star. Yeah, it wasn't a kid either, Like
it was probably a dude my age around there. And
once he saved them, what was it kind of like
was he like, oh my god, or do you need
medical attention or in medical? I just think he got

(51:07):
stuck and kind of panicked is what happened, and was
flashing around, so it was the safe situation. Yeah, they
pulled him out and he was okay. I think they
got him some water and just got him to cool
down and kind of if he was panicking to like
kind of chill out. Yeah, because nothing came from that,
and it's not like you can get like an ambulance
in there, like if anything, you're gonna have to get
life flighted out of there. Yeah, oh yeah, something were
to happen. Yeah, yeah, you wouldn't need like a helicopter

(51:28):
to come pick up like one of the little carriage things,
which is also why there's so many rangers there because
they can stop that from getting to that point, right. Yeah,
there's enough of them. Yeah, and they have enough training
all the things. But it was just a weird experience
because I just expected it to be so much different,
and I don't know why. I expected it to just
be that's like, oh my god, I'm gonna crab you,
it's gonna be amazing. But it was like, this is intense,

(51:51):
like nice but firm and mean, yeah, because it was
real life. The guy was gonna do and not die.
There was no instrumental playing in the background. There wasn't
like big band like a job William scorned. It was
not like yeah it was it was dry, there was
no one. It was grabbed damber. You're gonna freaking die, literally,
That's how it was. Like He's trying to be as
nice as possible because this guy's panicking. Sure, calm down

(52:15):
about your wife and kids. That was my rejected, rejected saying, man, rejected,
irl save and it was pretty cool and pretty scary.
Triple rejected. That was a good story. Have you ever
seen it in real life? Rescue? No, have you like
not like not like a bat magnitude? Yeah, not like

(52:36):
somebody was about to almost die exactly. Yeah, rescue rejected.
Do you have a rejected rejected taking me you would
like to share hating on mine? I'm trying to think
when once I put him out there, I don't think
about ever against they're long gone hang scuba and they're

(52:57):
either they allot them get used or they don't get used.
If they get used later on, they get used on
the best bits. That's what I've been trying to tea.
They get used all the time. Yeah, I'm trying anyway. No,
I think it was a good story. It was a
fun story, and the years could have been and it
could have put it into the mix of me, tell
me something good. That's what it could have been, rescue
and said, instead of reading some reading a story, morgan

(53:18):
the story here I did. There was at one point
during this adventure two that I was carrying Rimmy and
I definitely ate it in the because you also had
to have water shoes and I only had ten issues
on I just I didn't really plan ahead, and I
should have bad. But I was carrying Rimmy and at
one point I like to lift and I literally like
held her above the water and I'm just like, okay,
I'm here, I'm soaked, she's here, she's good, she's dry.

(53:41):
The animal is dry. I can imagine holding a twenty
pound dog over your head and you're just like, well, okay,
I'm gonna have to get up somehow so she can swim.
She's a dog that could swim, but it's just like water.
And since I didn't prepare for any of that, I
wasn't trying to put her through the draw the reverse,
I have been like, getting damn water, I'm gonna be fine,
I'm gonna dry. You're gonna be wet. Yeah, but I

(54:03):
dried off so fast. It's so freaking hot out that
I was like, oh, yeah, so you should go to
the waterfall. I think you and your family would have
a great went to Fall Creek Falls one time. That
was pretty cool. That hell of a drive, though, but
it was it was cool. I will say, just in general,
if you're traveling to Nashville and you want to do
something that's like different and not normal. There are so
many waterfalls from one hour to three hours from Nashville,

(54:24):
a lot of them. There's really cool, much to explore,
and you can find them online super easily. Yeah, make
sure you do some research. Yeah, just a little research
would help. Yeah. Yeah, check out a trip advisor see
what you should do some four things. Make sure make
sure you check out the like the park website wherever
they say like, hey, this is what you need, this
is what's happening, especially if you've even been before, because

(54:45):
that was the thing I had been to comment my
first year I moved to Nashville and I hadn't been
back in like four years, and so much had changed,
Yeah in that timeframe, and I just wasn't thinking much like, oh,
park doesn't change whether things happen exactly. Yeah, yes, there's
well no rejected rejected statement from Scuba, but there was mine.

(55:06):
I do want to know because Amy's son talked about
bathroom photos. Oh, yes, her son or it's hard um.
Amy's son had been sending her or his bathroom photos
and that was the whole thing. Yes, it reminded me
of that. There was a TV show Once upon a time.
That was like kids do the darkness things, yeah, or
something like that. Righting was usually like it's almost like

(55:27):
a spin off or a version of America's Funny somebody else,
but like geared towards kids. What is And I want
to know, like is there anything strange that your kids
have done yet? That was like it takes the cake,
Like this takes the cake for Amy because she's like,
why is this happening? Well, on the line of poop,
my son, when we were potty training him, he for
some reason, I don't know why, like he would he
got the peepart right, he would go to the toilet

(55:47):
and he would do all that. But then I don't
know where, I don't know what it was. He would
only poop outside like a dog. I think he's maybe
mimicking our dogs because they would always go aside to
go to go bathroom. Yeah, And so for the longest
time he would only poop outside. So I'll be outside
like doing on the lawn or doing something or whatever,
and I'm like, I'm like, where's my where's my son at?
Like it's sure enough quietly over in the corner, pants
her down, squatted over next to my dog. Pooping, and

(56:11):
then two seconds later, once he's done, he goes, I'm done, dad.
I'm like, I see that now. Two seconds later he
goes my dog and he eats it. Oh no, and
I'm like what. And this would happen for like six months.
He would only go outside and then two seconds later
it goes my dog ready to eat it. And I
was like, this is disgusting because now I'm like, oh

(56:31):
my god, So I need to stay away with my
dog because if he tries to lick me or anything,
he's got my son's poop in his mouth. I literally
almost to vomit in my mouth. Right. At least my
son eats organic food, so it's really good, healthy, clean poop.
But my dog, yes, exactly. Yeah. So we couldn't break
that habit for the longest time until just one day,
all a sudden, he just wouldn't do it anymore. Just
maybe something clicked in his head, like I shouldn't do this.

(56:52):
But whenever we'd go places, I was nervous, is you
gonna poop outside? We go, we go to a friend's house,
he's been walking around outside. He's like, just pops the
squat on the sidewalk. Yeah, But I think he just
learned through the dogs. My dogs would always like hang
out with him, and I think he just that's what
that dogs do, So that's what I'm gonna do. That's
like a that's like a jungle Book metaphor in a way. Yeah,

(57:12):
like raised by the animals and then acts like the animals. Yes,
oh yeah, oh yeah, oh my god. Yeah, oh that's funny.
That's a good one. But that would be a great
story for your son when he gets older, he's like, yeah,
I did that. Oh yeah, Girma comes over. You see
that tree over there. Yeah, he used to poop by
that every for six months. He's been so embarrassed until
he finally just owns him and like that will be

(57:32):
a fun fact that he can share. I used to
pop outside, my dog would eat it. Yeah, that is
a great fun fact if you can the game show
like that is a great fun like one of dating
game shows. Hi, my name is so and so, and
when I was two years old, I used to poop outside.
My dog would eat it. See great to automatically make
people laugh, yeah, like the easiest way. Yeah, so random day,

(57:53):
all right, we'll see kids do the darkness thing. Do
you would have made number one on the video things. Yeah,
oh yeahad that I remember that, and I'm not living
in a fantasy world that actually existed. Oh yeah, I
have videos. Sure, I was gonna try to find a
video of it, but I got videos of him in
the corner, like trying to hide it and like pooping us.
That is wild. I love the health of your Your

(58:13):
kids do the darndest things. Make sure to DM them
to Scooba Steve because I think it'll make him feel better. Yes,
please please normalize whatever my kids are doing. I feel
like there's a lot of that. There's just a lot
of odd things that kids do when they're younger. They're
exploring life. They're figuring it out exactly exactly. That was
the root of all this is they're figuring it out.
So I was I never got mad at I was
like whatever, at least he's pooping in the yards as
long he's pooping inside the house and I gotta physically

(58:34):
clean it up. He's pooping in then someone's eating and
it's gone. So it's a circle of life. That's an interesting,
interesting story that I've never heard in my life before
from anyone else. Yeah, so you take the cake for
that story. I guess when you were a kid, did
you ever have anything that your parents are be like,
Oh my gosh, Morgan always did this. Oh my god.
I mean, I'm sure there's a lot that I don't

(58:56):
know and that they like chose to forget, but I
did all. He's used to jump off coffee tables. Okay,
that's scary. Yep, there are pictures of me jumping off
coffee tables like midair, because I just chose that was
the thing I wanted to do when I was young.
I was like two years old. You're a gymnast though
at a heart you were used to jumping into things
and doing crazy things like that. I did like to

(59:16):
do crazy things, yea, and yes I did, so that
started there. I always have one of the best kid
photos of me is jumping off mid air of a
coffee table. That's a cool shot. Yeah, We're in a
diaper literally, and it was like here I am. Yeah,
because my parents gave up trying to stop me from
doing it pretty young. That's the only thing I at
least remember and that we have evidence of. I'm sure

(59:38):
there is much worse. Oh my god, Yeah, we said
your dad or mom down had to be here kinds
of stories. Oh there, that's how I ended up singing
on the show one time. So no anymore. As VP
of the show, I needed to do research and talk
to your parents. Oh, they got lots of things. I
mean I used to sing to my animals, stuffed animals.
I'd line them up. There's photos of that. I was
obsessed with stuffed animals and I'd line them all up

(01:00:00):
in our like fireplace area, and I would sing to them. Okay,
option like every Oh, i'll be great to see those
on vhs, which we'll have to get converted. We have
lots of videos of things. So, okay, got any like

(01:00:22):
me what I did as a kid. Oh, my gosh,
I don't remember me doing anything. I mean, I don't
remember anything. And I think because I was put into
a glass box every night at seven pm, I think
I wasn't able to do anything. So I can't think
of me anything that I did as a young like
a really little kid. Um My brother did a lot
of crap. My brother was always hurting himself. Like one day,

(01:00:43):
we're we're sitting there. You know what Popeyes has those sports? Yeah,
the spoon fork, it's plastic it's plastic. Well, we're sitting
there eating and all a sudden look over my brother
and he's like, oh, I'm like what what? He somehow
got the spark to penetrate his lip, pierce his lip,
and now he has Now it looks like a spoon
because the whole sport part is in his lip. And

(01:01:05):
basically everything anything that you could not do, he would
figure out a way to do it and injure himself
in the process. Problem child, Problem child. He was always
getting hurt. So I think everything that if I did
anything and never competed with whatever he was going to
do and hurting himself. Fair well, if you ever remember one, yeah,
I can come back on here and share of that memory,
because I'm sure there are some in there. There's got
to be something. Yeah, yeah, once I once I think

(01:01:26):
about it, there'll be something. But all I can think
about is my brother always hurting himself. The sport. Also,
the sport reminds me of four Key from Toy Story
four Yes, yeah, as soon as you said that was
like four key, yeah, yes, yeah. I don't think that
could penetrate scam, but apparently it can. You know, again,
kids do the darkness things I would like that to
make a revival. Yeah, awesome. It was a great show.

(01:01:47):
It was an awesome show, oh man. And you know
in at number three it is the biggest moment of
my CMA Fest life. I met Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson,
and y'all heard like the story I shared at all
how I recognized Rita Wilson first and then I recognized
Tom Hanks and it was awesome. And that full story
is coming up if you want to listen to the

(01:02:09):
best bits. It's all in there, and it's amazing, like
top moment of my life, but also of cmafest and
super random. You just saw them in a regular like
seated area. Wasn't like you were in a press box
area or anything that was exclusive you all that makes sense.
There's Tom, but purely in the wild. And I also
look back and I'm like, pleasure I've gone up to
him while Jason Aldien was on stage, but I was like,
I thought that was my only chance. Exactly, I did

(01:02:31):
not see another window happening, and I was like, I'm
just gonna go for it. He legit was really totally
cool with it, but at first he couldn't hear me
he put his hand up to his ear. He's like,
I'm not sure what you're saying exactly, and so I repeated,
and he knew what. I was trying to be friendly
and just be nice. I wasn't trying to like take
up a lot of time, but I really did. After
he took like the selfie of us, I straight up
blacked out, like I don't even think I said thank you,

(01:02:51):
so Tom Hanks Ritas and thank you for the took me.
But I literally blacked out. And I think ran away
because I was trying to make sure nobody else saw them.
That's the problem, because that happens where then it becomes
like almost like a line to get a picture with them.
And I also think that's why it was perfect happening.
As much as I'm like, oh, I probably should have
not done it or the thing, it is probably perfect
that I did because ye, nobody's paying attention to what's

(01:03:14):
happening behind yes, of course, yeah, yeah, And like we
were in this little area too. I will say it's
like it was the industry area, but it was all
the also all the family friends of people in the industry,
so it wasn't like even them though they would still
be like, oh my got Tom Anks, holy cramp. Yes,
but like so what it was a mix of fans
and people in the industry, so they were paying attention.
So but if I'm taking a picture with someone, nobody

(01:03:36):
would have thought twice of it, because in that area,
we're all taking pictures with each other, some people know
each other whatever. Yea, So it wasn't thought of until,
like unless you actually looked around and like, oh that
as oh my god, yeah yeah, and he does. He
doesn't look like he looks in the movies, like just
as far as like, of course, every actor and actress,
no matter their age, is all dolled up in movies,
so they're not going to look the same in person.

(01:03:58):
And he makes on and he has a lot of
roles where he's not himself. He like puts on stuff
and he looks different. Yeah, he doesn't look like Forrest Gump. Yeah,
he looks like a regular guy that's lived a life.
That's what he looks like. But they do, like they
when I took that picture, he has a great smile.
I don't know what, like if he kept that up

(01:04:19):
all this time, a great smile, Oh yeah, and read
it Wilson was super sweet. She I think she was
reading something about music on her on her phone, like
it totally engrossed Alan and maybe they were there for
Jason Aldeen. I have no idea, but it was pretty
cool and that was a fun moment. I will tell
you though, seeing my first besides just the Tom Hanks

(01:04:41):
moment which topped everything, was a very wild experience. I
went out there for two days. Yeah, so as you know,
I worked Thursday night with when this all happened Yea
and Friday. But what happened on Thursday night that was
really cool on stage was Darius Rucker joined Zach Brown
Band and they sang Chicken Fried together. It's really cool, Okay, awesome,

(01:05:01):
that's pretty cool and I didn't think I needed that
as much as I did, but like that those two
combined on that song fit so perfectly together. It sounded
like it was Darius's song, So it was Darius only
there for that song and then left where he did.
They did that, and then so Darius had performed before
and then Zach Brownband went on and Darius came out
when Zach BROWNBANM was on and they performed that song.

(01:05:22):
But that was never playing. Whenever they do collabs like that,
it's never playing, it's kind of winging it. I imagine
that happened backstage that night. I was like, Hey, you
want to come out for Chicken Fried? Yeah, never seen
it happen. I've never seen that collab happen in any
capacity before. So yeah, he's like, I love Chicken Friday.
He said, well, then come out and singing. He's like nah,
He's like, come on, Like okay. Cool. When you think
about Darius her On like wagon Wheel, it kind of
sounds in that vein. Right when they were singing Chicken Fried.

(01:05:45):
I was like, this feels like it's Darius's song, but
it's Zach Brownband's song. Totally. It's crazy. That's pretty cool.
So that was a super cool moment. Also because Zach brownman,
I feel, is very underrated. They don't get nearly enough
the awards and recognition that they deserve. Yeah, they are
one of my favorite people to see live always, and
they're one of those groups that is bigger than country,

(01:06:05):
Like people know who that band is. Our music is huge. Yeah,
and Zach Brown has like a clothing line, I think
applied clothing shirt line thing, whatever it is. But yeah, Oh,
he has lots of other ventures outside of the music,
for sure. He's also very attractive. Never really realized that
until in the last year or so. I'm like, oh,
you saw my Country Fest too, right when you were
at that little industry party. I was I was like,

(01:06:28):
who's just dude with the beard. I just never really
thought about it because I also think of them as
like the whole band, yeah, not just Zach Yeah, but
it is Zach Brown and the Zach Brown Band exactly. Yeah.
But so that was a cool momentum. We were walking
on Broadway because I had my parents in town, so
I was given them. They had never been to CMA
Fest before, so the full treatment of CMA Fest. And
we were walking down on Broadway and Broadway was already

(01:06:51):
kind of shut down for CMA Fest. Yeah, but it
got further shut down because there was a guy on
a roof on Broadway on the like it was like,
not one of the rooftop bars in the actual on
an actual roof roof on top of a rooftop bar.
So you got drunk and climbed up to the roof.
I'm not really sure. All we know is we saw
a bunch of police surrounding the bottom, surrounding the top,
trying to get him down, talk to him. Oh my god.

(01:07:11):
We moved out of that way before escalated. That was
a wild experience. Never seeing that. In the six almost
seven years I've lived in Nashville, You've never seen someone
negotiate to get off the roof. No, I've never even
seen someone on a roof. These buildings are four stories tall. Like,
you can go on the rooftop. You don't need to
go any further. Yeah, you're already pretty freaking high. Yeah,

(01:07:32):
with a view and drinks at your disposal. Exactly. This man,
he had to go higher. Maybe it was a woman.
I have no idea. The black shadow in the night.
It wasn't a huge creet fan something. Can you take me? Huh?
You gotta give you a dad joke? And to just
give you one, you did give you a good dad
joke there so, and I just have to say a
dad joke. Yeah, it's beautiful. That was interesting. And then

(01:07:54):
also when we were on the river Front Stage show
worked Nissan Thursday night Friday was Riverfront Stage and that's
like the free stage anybody can get into, but it
was at capacity. The whole time I was out there,
which was really cool. Cool. Yeah. Um, But Eddie was
out there with me for like two or three introductions
before he did this store Lozars thing, and I got
the whole crowd to boo him for dishing me. Thursday nights,

(01:08:17):
I said, like, I met Tom Hanks, is a huge thing,
and like Eddie could have been there, but he ditched me,
and I think he deserves to be booed for that,
and they all booed him. That's so Coolie. Eddie's son
was a side stage and so was his sister, and
I was like, I just made that happen in front
of your fa Yeah, son was there. I saw him
later for this Lozars thing. That's funny. Yeah, so that

(01:08:38):
was funny. Those are some of my highlights from CMA
Fest and working and it was like, I had the
best time. And I love CMA Fest because seriously, country
music is just so fun to be a part of,
and the fans are so so loyal and dedicated and
it's fun to experience. It took over the whole city
from Nisound Stadium all through all the little restaurants and
bars and Broadway. It really that was my first time
seeing it because when I first moved here, we had

(01:09:00):
the pandemic happened, and so none of that happened. So
I was like, man, there's a lot of traffic, which
annoyed the hell out of me. And it's all traffic
that's terrible. Yeah, But the experience side of it, it's
really cool down there, Like it's really cool to see
did you get to see anything besides this whole podcast?
That was it? That's all you got experience. I can't
see everything that led me up to that moment. That
moment and when I was leaving fair and then we
went to Memphis, so we were already that was the

(01:09:22):
same weekend as Elvis Junk Kids, So yeah, you had
a lot going on that weekend alread exactly. So I
was already planning for other things. So I was like,
I need to I would love to have been able
to enjoy CMAFS when like next year I'll do that. Yeah,
And it is like you go one night and you're like,
I'm good, I got a good taste of this because
you get so much music consumed in one night. But yeah,
it's such a cool experience and to be a part
of it and to represent the show down there was
really fun for it, really cool, definitely true. I saw

(01:09:44):
and I heard other people representing other companies, and they
did not do a very good job. It's a microphone.
You don't need to yell into it already that it
already will be loud for you because they will do
the levels. You don't have to scream into it, and
I will. Like something it was so interesting about Nissan,
was you. I was on stage with some of the
other people from iHeart in Premiere and all of that

(01:10:07):
at the beginning of our intro or whatever, and you
can't hear them. You have no idea what they're saying.
They didn't give you guys in ears now, so you're
standing up there and you're just like, okay, yep you
and we, thankfully we had kind of planned it out,
so like you're just hoping everyone stayed on there, guysiting
to hear each other. No monitors of any ears on nothing, no,
not to see it. May they should know that's kind
of crab. Yeah. I think they're going to try and

(01:10:27):
change it for next year. But I was like, this
is that the first no, no, no, no, But I
think this has been a complaint every year or I don't.
I don't know, I have no idea, but we didn't
have them when like Eddie and I, Lunchbox did it
like the last year before it was down for the pandemic,

(01:10:47):
but so weird. Yeah, So like you guys, I thankfully
got a lot of compliments if people said that I
did really good. But I'm very thankful for that because
I had no idea what was going I was literally
winging it as much as I could just to liven
up the energy. So I hope what I'm saying is
right on cue literally. So yeah, that was a CMA

(01:11:08):
fust so cool. You and I both had some crazy
weekends and really fun ones. Oh yeah, really cool. I
love that for us. Yes, Coming in hot at number two.
Bobby's children's book Stanley the Dog The First Day of
School is out now, which is super exciting, and all
of you guys have been posting all over socials that
you've bought it, pre ordered it, or you've already read

(01:11:29):
it to your kids, all the good stuff, so make
sure if you haven't bought it, it's available now. You
can check out Bobby Bones dot com to purchase it
and get it. That's another cool step in Bobby's career,
so of course comes in at number two. But I'm
not even talking about the book. Surprisingly I have I
have another thing to tell you about it. Okay. This
is also would make a rejected rejected, But I bet

(01:11:49):
you have something you can relate it to. Okay, Okay.
So I used to eat like nuts, peanuts, seeds like
all the time, and now I can't eat them because
my lips literally swell up. I look like I got
lip injections, like the bad kind. Well, you're allergic to
peanut allergy. As I've gotten older, okay, newly within the
last six months, that started happening. Okay, So have you

(01:12:10):
like and I love seeds and peanuts and all. I
will eat them all the long, and they're great for you,
and they're delicious, yeahpecially vegetarian. Like it's a great snack
for me. Yeah. So I don't know if it's a
constant thing or if something's going on in my mouth.
I have no idea, but my lips swell up. I
look like a fricking pufferfish like Kylie Jenner. Yeah, And
it asked to me while I was doing Riverfront stage,
I had eaten something and literally nobody could tell, but

(01:12:33):
I felt it, and I was talking in the way
that I felt it. You could feel like like the
tingling sensation. Yes, and looked like I got lip injections,
Like I don't have very big lips, so when that happened,
it was like, yeah, change your okay. But like I
developed that allergy recently. Did you ever like develop an
allergy for something later on? Yes? And I love curry,

(01:12:54):
so any kind of like tie curry, like red curry,
yellow curry, green curry, whatever. I've always eaten it, ever
had a problem with it. But for some reason now
when I eat curry, my belly button and the skin
around my belly button gets itchy. What didn't interest? It
was so weird because like for the longest time I
was eating curry, like the last couple of years, and
I was like, and the skin on my belly button

(01:13:16):
would be so itchy. I'm like, God, why am I
so itchy there? And just around my belly button like
like as if it's just trying to get out of
me nowhere else on my arms, not anywhere else on
my body, to my feet, not the inside of my
mouth from like eating it. Yeah, nothing, And it was
directly correlated to curry to curry because I would test
it because then I would then I would then I
would eat something else that I thought what it was like, No,

(01:13:38):
it's not at that. Then I was like, wait a second,
maybe it's curry. And then then I did like the
curry thing, like I would try it and go a
couple of days at it and it would subside. Then
I'd eat curry again and immediately within like almost like
within an hour, boom I started. I started get a
little itch. The next morning, I wake up and I've
got like a little rash around my belly button. Like
what in the hell is going on? So I'll throw
all my trowels and errors it was curry and so

(01:13:58):
you can't eat it anywhere? Or do you just put
up with the itch? So have you ever seen me
each on my belly button because I had curry last night?
What interesting allergic reactions? Yeah, it sucks because I love curry.
But then for all, for my belly button and the
skin around it, what the hell? So how long does
yours stay for it? Because like my list will be
swollen for like a solid hour and then start to

(01:14:19):
go down. Three days of itching, three days of just
itching the belly button until it's completely gone out of
my system, you know. But honestly, it's a dad thing
to do, to like rub your bellies. So maybe that
just works in the in the range of your life
that's going exactly like he's getting he must be getting
that dad bud going on. Gotcha? Okay, cool, He's just
he's just he's just uh yeah, exactly. I know. I've

(01:14:42):
had a curry, and so my belly button, the skin
around it is red and nitchie around. That's so interesting
and it's such is weird, like over time that you
randomly start developing an allergy and it's just like the
strangest way. It's so weird. I've heard that your taste
buds change every seven years, so if you didn't like something,
you should try to get in seven years later. But
I didn't realize that you can have an adult set
adult onset allergies. Yeah, that's crap. No, it is crap right.

(01:15:05):
Let's it's a reverse where you were alerted to something,
now you're not, and you want to eat it. That's great.
But if you love something and then you get allerged,
what the hell like? You can't go your whole life eatings.
I mean, knowing how awesome it is, and to all
of a sudden not be able to eat it. That
is crap. Yeah, that's why I just do it. I
power through it. Oh man, Well, if you see Scuba
eating curry and me eating any type of nuts, just
you know, mind your business. I'm gonna be scratching my

(01:15:29):
belly button and she's gonna have a big lips. Literally
we've made look a little different, but it's okay. All right.
I will tell you some two food worlds, Like Oreo
drop some Neopolitan cookies. Okay, do you like Oreos? I
love Oreos? I love Oreos? So do you like Nepolitan
like ice cream? Yeah? Like, what's the vanilla strawberry chocolate? Oh? Yeah,
So they got a new Oreo Neapolitan cookie that's the
Golden Oreo with vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. It's available now. Yep.

(01:15:53):
Well they hit stores next month, so July's when they
hit Okay, cool, Well you try those. Hell yeah, I'll
try any Oreo they come out with, even like the
gross ones that they come out with. I'm like, like,
I don't know what like a bad one is, but
all I'll try them all. You'll just try them all
just for the fun of it's fun of it. My
favorite one is carrot cake carrot cake Oreo. Okay, oh god,
it's the Golden Oreo with the carrot cake filling on
the inside. And it's your favorite, my absolute favorite, absolute favorite.

(01:16:16):
I see. I still love the og But there is
a Smores one that was really good at one. I
never had that one, okay, Yeah, and I don't know
if it was called the Smores, but it tasted like Smores. Okay,
it could have been, could been Graham Cracker or something. Yeah,
some'thing fixed with it. But yeah, the og og oreos
are where it's at. So I don't know if I'll
be trying this, but I'm glad that you are. I
just wanted to bring it up because I knew there

(01:16:37):
were people that you try it. I'm glad that you
are more on that five. It's KTV, but I you
people care about these things, and it's interesting that you
try all the flavors. Oh yeah, and if it sucks,
I power through it and finish the box. I won't
buy any more of it, but but I will. I
love it is also a dad thing to do to
power that you don't actually like. I hate myself and

(01:16:59):
I don't hate it. Yeah, that is a whole dad
food right there. I paid for this, We're gonna finish it. Yeah.
But do you like sweet tea? Sweetea? It's my absolute favorite.
What about sweet tea ice cream? I didn't know they
had that. That sounds pretty good. I would try mcalisters.
They just dropped their Deli famous sweet tea okay ice

(01:17:21):
cream version and it's already available and it's only eight
dollars a pint. That's awesome. Will you try sweet tea
ice cream? Oh? Hell, y'all try. I'll put it in
a cup and I'll let mouth a little bit and
I'll drink it. I'm so curious as to what this
taste like. Does he kind of taste like just like
sweet with like amocha flavor or is it just going
to be like tea? Yeah? Exactly. You know what I mean. Like,
because sometimes people will say they have sweet tea and

(01:17:42):
it's basically just colored water and there's a little bit
of sugar in it. I'm like, no, that's not sweet tea.
You gotta put some damn like my grandma would make
sweet tea, and she would just take almost the entire
bag and just dump that thing in there and it
would be the sweetest tea you've ever had. And it
was That's the way it was supposed to be in
my world. That is what I would like to call
sugar sweet tea. Yeah, okay, that's sweet tea. Oh yeah,
that's some sugar in it. That's got sugar and loving

(01:18:04):
in it, loving exactly. And when I was living in
Charlotte for a while, and I'd never seen this before,
at Wendy's, they had what they called they had regular
sweet tea, and they had country style sweet tea. And
it was not like they brewed themselves. It was made
by Lipton or whoever. They made a country style sweet tea.
And I remember getting it. I'm like this, they get me,
They know what I'm looking. Why wouldn't they just have

(01:18:26):
that as the normal sweet tea the whole time, especially
if you're living in Charlotte, like it's a country area.
People want sweet tea. Yeah, I don't know, and I
don't understand anyone. If you do this, I don't know
you anymore. People who get unsweet tea. Why would you
ever drink what's the point bringing unsweetened tea? Well, at
that point, aren't you just drinking tea. You're drinking tea.
He wants to get green tea or something better, oolong tea,
something different. Why would you do unsweetened tea? But don't

(01:18:47):
do unsweeten tea? But you can do oolong tea. Sure?
Oh man, there you have it. Both of these are
going to be what Scuba Steve is trying. And I
need reviews, reviews, Yeah, yeah, I need the reviews. At
Number one was Gavin du Graw this week, which was
an epic interview. Though he's probably never coming on hardem

(01:19:10):
but he seriously He performed some of his hit songs.
He even performed a new one, So make sure you
go watch all that at Bobby Bones dot com. Great,
just great, especially if you're a one Tree Hill fan.
In hearing the story behind, I don't want to be
be coming on that show, I know, that was a
really cool moment for me to hear. Yeah, and I'm
talking about where he was. He was mad at other
artists who wouldn't want to play their hits. I love
the way he explained. I can't explain the way he

(01:19:32):
did it. So you'll hear it. But I love what
he said. He's like, these people have they've spent three
months saving up money and they drove three hours to
hear a three minute song. And he said, a bunch
of expletives, Yeah, you better play that bleep, bleep bleep song.
And I'm like, it makes sense. I mean, that's I
get it, Like that's what made your career or made
your career lease. In their eyes, you should play the
three to four hits, five hits, whatever you got, or

(01:19:52):
you only have one hit, play the one hit. You
can't not play it anyone that hates that. It's like
that major career or that's what made who you are.
Would you maddle over it exactly? And he was like
he was very articulate and very just creative and genuine
and everything that he did during this interview and the performance.
So as Scuba said, as High both said, we both
have took away different things from it. So that even

(01:20:14):
tells you how cool of an interview it was. To
make sure you check that out. But Scuba, thanks for
joining me. You know what's funny? As I said that
I would try and make this short, and I didn't.
Every time I tried so hard every time, at least okay,
I try to keep it under an hour. I try
very hard and vigilant in that I don't ever make it. Yeah,

(01:20:39):
