the show.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's Monday morning, Studio morning.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
All right, we're gonna go around the room.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Here's the question I'm gonna ask. It's the Monday prompt.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
I'm gonna ask you, if you could go back to
your birth and choose your own name, what would it be.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I don't ever tell.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Them these questions if you listened to this beforehand, so
they don't know. So I like to give him a
second to think about that, because it's weird, because we're
so attached to our names.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I always thought my name was like young Cool.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I were telling my wife, like Bobby, it's like young Cole,
and she googled it. She goes, it was actually the
most popular in nineteen thirty one. And I was like, oh,
and she goes, then you were named after your grandfather,
which in my biological dad's side, who I didn't know.
His name is Bob, And she was, so, you think
your name is yeah. I just thought, like Bobby was
like kidney. Bob was, So if you could go back
(00:59):
and change your at birth, Eddie, what would it be?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Man?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
So like I thought about this when the movie came
out like Forrest Gump.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I thought Forrest would be the coolest name ever. Luchbox's
a friend name Forrest.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
I know, and he was before Forrest Gump. And then
it just the name exploded. Was it was everywhere. I
bet it was miserable for him.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It was miserable. Run Forrest rhyme all the time, over
and over and over. What a what terrible timing?
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Yeah, And I mean that's like when we were in
like middle school, and it was just like everybody said
it over and over.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Forrest is so cool. I'd love that alright, Forrest lunchbox winner?
What winner? Your name is winning?
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Like pronounced wiener? No winner, Like I'm a winner and liar,
that's a good one. No winner, because I'm a winner
in life. And I mean I'm set up from the
start for everybody to know this dude's a winner.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
There are people named doctor. That's d O C t
O ya Doc Martin.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Multiple people named doctor, and that's so people always assume
that they're a doctor.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, that's weird.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
When Amy mine's Josie. I love that name.
Speaker 8 (02:08):
Yeah, because I couldn't name myself Josie. So that's exactly
why I named her that like years ago. Yeah, a
Rotweiler look like a Josie. But I was like, nope,
I love that name. I met a girl somewhere and
she her name is Josie. I was like, oh my gosh,
I love that name. And I always thought if I
had a girl like a baby, i'd named her Josie.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
Never did, so I named my doctor.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I'd probably go with something like Waldo Waldo, yeah, because
it's just I don't know a single Waldo.
Speaker 7 (02:38):
Other than the w where's Waldo?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You know that I can't find him.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
You only know.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I don't know. And what is Waldo even That's gonna be.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Short for something right, like Eddie's friend from Family Matters
for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But like I like Waldo because it's an inch name sound.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
It feels soft, like there's no bad guy Waldo, Waldo,
good dude, you guys run into Waldo lately. Na I
missed that dude though. Yeah, So probably like Waldough. It's
just it's like a different name. It doesn't feel like
it's from the Pilgrims. It doesn't feel like if it's
even today, just like in this mysterious space, Waldo ain
(03:16):
never been in battle Waldough, that's true.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So yeah, waldo, Daldo, I love it. Yeah, all right,
thank you guys. Let's go. Let's open up the mail bag.
Speaker 9 (03:30):
You send the mail and we read it all the air.
Speaker 10 (03:33):
It's something we call Bobby's mail bag.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, Hello, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Bobby Bones. I
have a married friend who flirts to get things for
free on girls' nights. She will flirt with guys at
the bar to get into buy our drinks. I've seen
her flirt with employees at the mall to get a discount,
waiter's at restaurants, guys at the dire store, you name it.
Sometimes she'll even remove her wedding ring on nights we
go to higher in bars to ensure that she doesn't
(03:57):
have to pay for more expensive drinks. It does seemed
in there. I've never seen her do anything more than that.
I'm not sure if her husband knows about it. My
husband and I are really close with both of them.
Is this something he would want to be aware of
or is this the thing he should find out on
his own? Signed a friend of a flirt or let
me put me in this situation. I got no problem
with Caitlin doing this.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
None what about taking the ring line, don't give a crap,
don't care about that.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So she's not gonna do anything with them. You gotta
save money just by taking your ring off. That's what
you like it.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Heck, yeah, I have no fear that she's gonna cheat
on me. And if she's out and you got all
these dudes wanted to buy her drink, all it takes
is one little action of oh, pulled off the ring,
put in my pocket.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Go for it. He probably knows. He's probably in on it.
Maybe let her rip tat her chip.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
She gets home and tells him how much she.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Said, Yeah, he gets excited.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
And that's what turns him on. See, I would have
no problem with it whatsoever. But I'm also not in
a relationship where I am conc learned that there could
be some funny business going on. I think if that's
happened before or if that's a concern, definitely shouldn't do that.
But for me, I have no I would laugh and
be like sucker them again.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's me. You.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
No, you don't say anything. I don't. Is that her question?
If she should go to the husband.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, but how do you feel about it?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Though?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
No, you don't say anything. I don't have no chance. Yeah,
don't do that. But I also have no problem with
it happening.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
Yeah, I guess I don't have a problem with it happening.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I don't do you do that, I mean any more.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
I don't get drinks bought for me. Though.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
Oh that's nice, Yeah, say Caroline's awesome. She plays How
many of these things do you now? I'm gonna just
ask you this, What instruments do you play?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Carolyn?
Speaker 13 (14:57):
I play guitar, piano, banjo, dobro, and harmonica.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
When you play the harmonica, do you cause I can
cheat at the harmonica.
Speaker 12 (15:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
If we're playing a song in a I'll just get
a harmonic and go.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
And it matches.
Speaker 12 (15:12):
Dylan made a career doing that, and.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Then everybody's like, Wow, I play harmonica. What's the difference
in how you play harmonica and me?
Speaker 13 (15:19):
Just a slight I might be slightly better than you.
Speaker 12 (15:25):
No, Honestly, I love.
Speaker 13 (15:26):
Playing different instruments. I love production, and when I was young,
I just did solo acoustics shows, so I picked up
different instruments to try to make my show more interesting.
I was playing at high schools and colleges at the time,
so it's pretty humbling experience trying to get their attention.
So that's what made me pick up the banjo in
different tunings and different instruments, and I just love I
remember listening to records when I was a teenager and
(15:47):
just thinking, how do they make it sound like that?
Like how do the layers fit together? What is a
guitar player playing? And I was just fascinated by the
intricacies of production. And that's really the kind of the
mission behind.
Speaker 12 (15:59):
Play different instruments.
Speaker 13 (16:00):
I'm not a prodigy on any of them, but I
love it and it's a lifelong craft and I just
love playing.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
This is a compliment in a question, and don't take
it otherwise.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Were you a nerd as a kid?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
No, if you were so jealous, cool.
Speaker 12 (16:18):
It's cool.
Speaker 13 (16:18):
No, I wasn't a nerd, but I was super introspective,
like I was a very mature. I was kind of
a loner, I would say. But I don't know if
i'd say call myself a nerd because I hated school.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Really do you make good grades?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (16:30):
I did, but I was just kind of a perfectionist
and driven. But I really never enjoyed it. I always
wanted to do something creative, Like.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I made good grades because I wanted to get out
of there. Me too, It wasn't that I loved learning.
Speaker 12 (16:42):
And also I'm just kind of ocd. I couldn't like
my husband is like whatever, I.
Speaker 13 (16:46):
Wouldn't do the paper, I wouldn't study, like that would
give me so much anxiety.
Speaker 12 (16:49):
I just felt like, I, you.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Know, tell Amy about your husband, how you met him,
what the whole situation.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
Is, Hi?
Speaker 13 (16:55):
Amy, Hi, My husband is a professional sailor. So he
races sailboats around the world and it's a really niche
sport that I knew nothing about before meeting him. And
he's sailed around the world on this race called the
Volvo Ocean Race four times. He's done an America's Cup,
which is kind of like the super Bowl of sailing.
(17:17):
And so all that to say, not to uh get
his head too big, but more just to say that
he has the coolest life experiences.
Speaker 12 (17:25):
Like he has the coolest stories.
Speaker 13 (17:26):
He's lived all over the world, every continent except Antarctica,
and and so he's seen all these cultures, and he's
seen all the seven Seas four times over, and he
just has the most amazing stories.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
Okay, this is so crazy because I just finished this
movie with my son on Netflix about the Australian girl
that is the first.
Speaker 12 (17:46):
Yes, that she sailed around by herself.
Speaker 8 (17:48):
At sixteen years old, yes, which is wild to me.
I'm like, her parents.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
Let her go.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
That's the one that they got by sharks.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
No, no, she did it, but like nobody will leave.
During the beginning they were like, how to her parents,
how could you let her do this? And then when
she by it took two hundred and ten days and
when she came back to the port in Australia, there
was thousands and thousands and thousands of people there cheering
her on and waiting for her.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
And she went around the world all by yourself. So
all you flat, Earthur is they call the show watch
this movie?
Speaker 8 (18:21):
Yeah, and her boat was named Pink And anyway, it.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Was really good. I know nothing about sailing.
Speaker 13 (18:27):
I haven't seen that movie yet, but that's super dangerous.
Did they actually let her or I think she escaped?
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Right?
Speaker 8 (18:33):
That was not included in the film because I think
they want to encourage children too.
Speaker 13 (18:37):
Well kids, But yeah, no, it's pretty wild.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
So I know nothing about sailing other than I just
watched that movie.
Speaker 12 (18:45):
That I still got to see that.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
So he was in another country? Was it like pandemic time?
Speaker 13 (18:51):
And yeah, so we actually met during the pandemic here
in America. But then six weeks after we met, he
had to move to New Zealand for a year to
train in the Americ's Cup, and all my.
Speaker 12 (19:01):
Tours were canceled. I was supposed to be touring with
Lucas Nelson.
Speaker 13 (19:03):
It all got canceled and I was just sitting at
home freshly in love, and so I ended up moving
with him and we spent the pandemic in New Zealand,
which I kind.
Speaker 12 (19:13):
Of I hesitate to tell people about.
Speaker 13 (19:16):
Because I kind of they're like, you won the pandemic.
You know, it's kind of not fair because there was
no COVID in New Zealand and it was like having
a gap year when you're thirty.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You know, So where did you live? Did you live
like an Airbnb or.
Speaker 12 (19:28):
Yeah, we actually did, we lived in it.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Did you moved them?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Did you move around from Airbnb Tobe?
Speaker 12 (19:32):
Once they lost the Cup, America got eliminated.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
First spoiler, I was waiting to watch the docu series
on that.
Speaker 13 (19:40):
Once they lost, we got to travel a lot, which
was kind of the silver lining because we didn't have
to go home yet.
Speaker 12 (19:47):
But initially we were just in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Man, that'd been cool, huh.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I just would be freaking out that wasn't working I
did play any shows.
Speaker 12 (19:56):
I played some shows there.
Speaker 13 (19:57):
Actually I met a bluegrass band over there, which is
so so funny because I had to sit in a
hotel room for two weeks during quarantine in New Zealand
because they that's how they did it to make sure
you didn't have COVID. And I just googled bluegrass band
in New Zealand, not knowing that bluegrass and country is
not popular in New Zealand at all. Bluegrass is basically
non existent, so I didn't know at the time. I
(20:19):
found the one bluegrass band that is in New Zealand,
and it's this awesome family band of Kiwi's and they're
still my really good friends to this day. But I
gigged around with them and we did some shows together.
The trend wis But I wrote and recorded a lot
of my second record over there remotely, so that's great.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
I never stopped truly, Yeah, you were working.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Well.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
She just went to New Zealand with.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
My dad and it worked out like that's like that
that other Netflix documentary those people that got stuck in
the other country because of COVID on there.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Like the second Best Day Everett.
Speaker 12 (20:57):
Now, I was pretty sure.
Speaker 13 (20:58):
I mean I I never really dated a lot prior
to my husband, Like I was super career focused.
Speaker 12 (21:04):
But I don't know, it's very different.
Speaker 13 (21:05):
I don't know if you guys have this experience, but
it's very different when you when you meet your person.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
I think answers yes for me, I will say that
because if I don't answer and just jump in, who
knows I might get murdered later. But yeah, the answer
is yes for me, that did happen?
Speaker 12 (21:20):
Yes, yes, Caroline does she listen to the show?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Okay, the only time she ever sees or hears anything
about it ever is if it pops up on her
Instagram a clip of something that we post.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
But no, she does not listen.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
She avoids it because we're in here arguing about stupid
stuff and will hyper hyperboleized stuff and she's like, that's
not my version of its story.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I'm like, well you can come on. I'm not coming on.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
So it just you know, it keeps us from arguing
about you said.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
Murder a second ago.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
That's I overheard the other day because she was explaining
to someone but she doesn't listen, and she was like, oh,
because because I'd murder him.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
She killed me.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Really, that's pretty much it Okay, So Caroline didn't just
come to hang out with us, although that would be fun.
Caroline came in because the new EP is out called Superpower.
It's five tracks, and what's the difference. What are these
five tracks about as compared to your last record that
I can't even pronounce?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Still, okay, we'll just leave.
Speaker 12 (22:18):
That this new record.
Speaker 13 (22:21):
So this EP is the first half of my next album,
which the full thing will be out this fall. I'm
trying to release as much music as incrementally as possible
in this modern market, which is something I've been wanting
to do for a really long time because that's how
I consume.
Speaker 12 (22:35):
So this is kind of the first taste. We've already
put out three of.
Speaker 13 (22:37):
The songs, and now all of them are out, and
this next record, I think thematically, is really about like
resilience and grit, which is something that I feel like
I've been developing over the last couple of years especially,
and so I've just been writing a lot about that.
Speaker 12 (22:53):
That's what the title track, Superpower is about.
Speaker 13 (22:55):
It's about kind of the triumphs and heartbreaks of chasing
this dream and as you get older, immature, and as
you spend a few years. In this industry, there's a
lot of jaded people. There's a lot of rejection, there's
a lot of disappointment and heartbreak, and you constantly have
to self assess, keep your eyes open and be honest
(23:15):
with yourself and recommit yourself to your dream and your
integrity and why are you doing this? And and so
that's what that song is about. It's like really raw,
honest song. But all the songs kind of play on
those themes.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I'm sailing around the world that right there. I'm now
going to get in a boat and do it. So, uh,
let's see, I was looking at the trucks. Can you
play Lawless for us?
Speaker 12 (23:37):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Okay. So this is Caroline Jones. This is her song Lawless.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
This whole the all five of these tricks came out
on Friday, and here she is live in studio.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Nice, Holy crap, I'm great. I mean, what did you
see there?
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (23:53):
The whatever is on your finger with the guitar and
the sliding back and forth.
Speaker 12 (23:56):
And we actually had an outro for the slide but
my slide track.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
So but I was very impressed with Yeah, that part.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
I can't I don't know what it's called that's exactly
it up and.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Yeah, this slide, well, Carolyn brought a player with her
by what your name? I already knew it, asked, I
much wanted to say himself. Riley's playing with her and singing,
you know, background vocals.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah, but Carolyn played the lead on that.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
She played the solo. That was her and rarely does
someone and Riley, I'm sure you're a great player at all.
Speaker 12 (24:26):
He's amazing.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Rarely does someone come in and bring a player. Didn't
play the solo.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
As well, which is really freaking cool.
Speaker 13 (24:32):
Oh thanks, Yeah, we were actually just trying to figure
this out last night because it's a very very electric song,
so we arranged that last night.
Speaker 12 (24:43):
But this was fun. This is a resonator guitar actually,
so it's kind of good for if you're going to
do acoustics slide. It's very loud play.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Can you play a little bit of the solo slow
if you want?
Speaker 12 (24:53):
What the Actually, let's just do the out we were
going to do.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Okay, this is one to.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
The that's so cool you're playing.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
She's playing so far down the neck, like not even
where the frets are. She's like playing the belly part.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Of the guitar.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
That's awesome, Caroline, you so okay. Look, she's got five
songs that are out today. It's first half of the
it's an EP called Superpower, but the rest of it
comes out this.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Fall, right, correct, And you can see Carolina out on
the road.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
And I definitely wanted to get to this a little
later because I wanted this to be about you more
than about you joining Zach Brown Band. But she was
the first team member of Zach Brown Band, and you're
playing with them all fall too, right, correct?
Speaker 12 (26:01):
You have the we have a we have an all
summer tour.
Speaker 13 (26:05):
I think I have like one hundred shows in the
next six months because I play a bunch of shows
with them, and then I play a bunch of my
own shows.
Speaker 12 (26:11):
And I love it.
Speaker 13 (26:12):
It's so much fun because I go from stadiums to
to I guess bars and clubs that we're playing in headlining,
which is so cool because I'd never gotten to headline
till last year. So even to have people come to
your own show pay money to see you in Iowa
and Illinois, it's like, it's so wild to me.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
How do you get paid by Zach?
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Did show up with the think of cash at the
end of a show, or does he paid to a
check that comes to off money to the band as
they Yeah?
Speaker 12 (26:38):
Yeah, is that?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Like?
Speaker 12 (26:40):
I don't know if I should just close that.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I did you get paid like a real job?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Just show up in your account?
Speaker 13 (26:44):
Yep, okay, yeah, I get paid like a real job.
Speaker 12 (26:48):
I know.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Yeah, I want like a rubber band over like a
Zack ground CD of cash handed to it.
Speaker 12 (26:52):
But I don't take that for granted at all.
Speaker 13 (26:54):
I mean, it is so to have to have an
actual career in music is such a rare thing, and
so no, it's really exciting to call it a real job.
Speaker 12 (27:03):
What are you so long trying.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
To do for that band?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Like?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
What's your role?
Speaker 13 (27:08):
I'm kind of a utilities person, which is a term,
a natural term for any instrument that needs to be
covered that's not being covered. So I mostly play acoustic guitar,
but I see I also play B three in the
band sometimes sorry organ or keys, and sometimes I play rhythm,
electric or banjo kind of whatever they need. And actually
(27:31):
I didn't play organ. When Zach first called me, he
was like, can you come and play utilities? And he
knew I played a bunch of acoustic instruments, and he's like,
you play B three right, And I was like no,
and he's like you will by August right, and I
was like.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeap, yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Why is it called B three?
Speaker 12 (27:48):
That's a good question. It's just the kind of organ.
Speaker 13 (27:51):
There are a bunch of different kinds of organs like
church organ and B three. I'm not sure exactly why
it's called a B three in particular.
Speaker 12 (27:57):
We can research.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Do you have to know all the songs in on
all the instruments then? Just in case, Like if somebody
goes out and can't play the intro to Chicken Fry,
can you play it?
Speaker 7 (28:06):
Well?
Speaker 12 (28:07):
Nobody can play it like Zach. I mean people don't realize.
Speaker 13 (28:09):
Yeah, people don't realize what a characteristic and skilled guitar
player he is. Like when he picks up a nylon
guitar in a room like this, I mean, you can't
believe the sound that comes out. It sounds exactly like
a Zach Brown record. Like it's just it's so funny.
But I could play it, but not like Zach.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
What is your favorite song to play with the band.
Speaker 13 (28:30):
There's this song called Sweet Annie. That's my I just
love the harmonies that do you know that song? You
should listen to it.
Speaker 12 (28:36):
It's so good.
Speaker 13 (28:37):
But the harmonies in that song are my favorite because
I love singing harmony with them. You know, there's a
bunch of amazing singers singing harmony.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
It's like eight dudes in you.
Speaker 12 (28:49):
Yeah yeah, nine nine dudes.
Speaker 13 (28:51):
You think, wait, sorry, and they're like, dude, yeah yeah,
hardcore like you.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
If you're like your own room, your own bus or something.
Speaker 12 (29:01):
I do have my own bus. I'm really lucky that way.
Speaker 13 (29:03):
I also think it just wouldn't have worked. They're all,
you know, they have their dynamics still worked out. I
don't know if I could have gone on their bus
and made them feel comfortable.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Well, you had to grow a beard. I think everybody
has a beard. Just about it.
Speaker 12 (29:14):
It's funny. I went out on one show.
Speaker 13 (29:16):
I played a joke on them and went out and
a beard after I was announced as an official member.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
That's funny, Caroline, You're really good and I hope everybody
checks out.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's called Superpower. It's five songs.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Hey, Ray, give me a little bit of Superpower, which
she was talking about earlier. Truck So you wrote to
them by yourself when you write by yourself.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Where do you usually do that?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Is it purpose full time you set aside to ride
or does something come and then you just kind of
jump into it.
Speaker 13 (29:50):
Typically the latter. I write a lot, I hike a lot.
I love being in nature, so I write a lot
on my walks, and just I play a lot at home,
Like if I have a day off, I'll play for
two or three hours, and a lot of times something
creative will will pop out or bubble up.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
What was the first famous guitar part you ever learned?
Where you were like, I'm playing it, I cannot believe it?
Speaker 13 (30:17):
Probably actually one of the songs that we cover sometimes
never going back again, because I really.
Speaker 12 (30:23):
Loved and gravitated towards finger picking early on when I
learned the guitar, and I ever going back again.
Speaker 13 (30:29):
It's that Fleetwood Mac song Dank Dank Dank We should well,
it's in a different tuning, but you can kind of
show it's it's a song off their famous album Rumors,
and I love that album, and so yeah, play a
little bit for you.
Speaker 12 (31:02):
Have you heard that?
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 13 (31:06):
Anyway, it's really hard to play on this guitar right
now because the action's so high for slide. But I
love fingerpicking, so those were some of the first things
I learned to play that I loved. He knows all
the like big riff kind of songs.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
They also played a twelve string yeah, which seems impossible
to tune.
Speaker 12 (31:23):
That's big mama, Yeah, especially on that song in particular.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Yeah, well you do it all, Caroline. Everyone check out Superpower.
It's five songs. There's also a song Superpower. Don't be confused.
Listen to the whole project and see Caroline out on
the road. Go to our socials at Caroline Jones for
all the dates. Thank you for coming in. I always
love seeing you. You guys crushed it and man, I
(31:47):
feel like I should go to a show. Yeah, she's
doing solos. I just pulled out a Fleetwood Max song
the whole thing there. Okay, you guys go check out
Caroline Jones. Well back in just a second. Have you
ever snooped through someone's phone? Snooping means they don't know
you're snooping through their phone, Like straight snoop, don't care
who it is.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Have you've done it, Eddie? Yeah, my wife's you didn't
have to say who I'm be honest with you. I
mean I appreciate. I mean it was the closest A
was there.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
You know you were just looking like, yeah, I just
looking through.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Something something not looking for looking through.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
There's a difference, Like my wife has my code because
a lot of times I'm like, hey, I need this picture.
I don't want to walk in the living room. You're
in there and my phone's in there. Will you send
me this picture. I don't give a crap. I don't
anything to hide.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
But that's it. That's looking through.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
And my wife's very I mean, I trust her one
hundred percent. But when a text comes through and I don't,
I like, it just pops up and I don't know
that number, I'm like, who is that?
Speaker 2 (32:40):
What did they talk about?
Speaker 7 (32:41):
To see?
Speaker 4 (32:41):
If maybe she talks about you in a positive for
a negative way to her friends.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
She never talks about me. Never.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
There's nothing good.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
All right, all right, all right, lunchbox. You ever snooped
through someone's phone?
Speaker 4 (32:53):
No?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Never, no need to No. I thought he looked at abbes. No,
it popped up the screen. I took a picture. It
never went through it.
Speaker 7 (33:01):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
He's answering, honestly, that's also shady, though, just in a
different way. Not because he took a picture of our
text message. You wanted to say, because they sent it
to me to go, hey, read this on the air.
But that showed his baby around here. Yes, that's it. Okay,
fair enough, Wow.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Fair enough.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Eighty two percent of us have snooped through someone's phone before.
I have not snooped, mostly not because I'm better than it.
You ever, hear, if you call out the devil, he
just might come. My grandma used to say that if
you call out the devil, he just might come. And
so if you go looking, you might find something you
don't like, even something that's not them being dishonest with you.
It could be them talking to a close friend about
(33:41):
some situation that happened interpersonally, like fight and they just
want to vent. But you said, shucks, something like this.
Oh yeah, So I don't snoop. I've never snooped, mostly
because I'm scared for me, and I take everything I
don't want to say personal because I don't take any personal.
I'll take anything wrong. If there's a way I should
take it, I don't think it that way. Ever, I'll
take it the exact opposite way, I probably should.
Speaker 8 (34:00):
Yeah, someone was circumstantial and and very codependent behavior.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
I wouldn't do it now.
Speaker 8 (34:07):
I wouldn't do it to how I've worked on my codependency.
Speaker 7 (34:11):
I wouldn't do it now.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
But there was a time where I was trying to
just control too many things and I was sort of
losing my mind.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
So I did sort of losing your mind. But she
did that wacky head. Yeah, I can.
Speaker 7 (34:26):
Tell you some other crazy things I did.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
I'm not fat, say everybody here, you know, let's get it.
Let's have a further distance, at least maybe one day. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Eighty two percent of us a snoop through someone's phone.
The two most likely victims are our significant other end exes.
But eight percent of looked through a friend's phone to snoop.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Oh no, that's dirty, dog.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
Don't go to a friend's phone never, and three percent
have snooped on a coworker. Ooh that's even dirty, dirty
your dog.
Speaker 8 (34:56):
Well, we used to if you left your computer open.
Not I mean we as a collect like everyone. If
some had Twitter opened the act back in the.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Day, that's not the same. I would someone's Twitter. Yeah,
I thought it was hilarious. I would go on and
be like, Bob's huge, those tight pantsy has on. They
look good from both sides. So, but that's not snooping
through someone's phone. Yeah, I bet you, Scuba Steve has
snooped the crap out of someone's phone.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Scuba Steve, you snooped it. It would be my ex wife.
Speaker 9 (35:25):
We talked about it before when she was cheating on
me and all these messages were popping up, and that's
when I was like, I'm going.
Speaker 7 (35:32):
Deep and I'm digging and I'm looking for things.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Did you find other things though that, because yeah, she
ended up cheating. He found pictures, he let her dad
know before he let her. It is a whole situation.
It's amazing. It's an amazing story. Did you find anything
else so that you weren't expecting that maybe wasn't cheating,
but other little.
Speaker 9 (35:49):
Secrets money spent on, like a trip to Hawaii, And
I lighted it up at a time when she was
doing a work trip to somewhere else, like in the mainland,
and then I found out she was going to Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
I like, You're going Hawaii.
Speaker 14 (36:00):
I was like, oh my goodness, my favorite Scuba Steed story,
and he has a lot of them, is that he
caught his ex wife cheating on him and then said
nothing to her for days because he sent an email
to her dad.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Her dad's old did chickimilvery offense. So we just waited
how many days from when you found out and sent
that email till you finally confronted her?
Speaker 9 (36:23):
I mean it was probably She confronted me about three
weeks later, three weeks and they were like they were
half naked photos too that I sent to her father.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Do you knew that he knew it for three weeks?
There is no way I could have kept that in.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
That's crazy that did you document that like live as
it was happening or not live?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Because but right after that publicly at all?
Speaker 9 (36:44):
I never on social but we talked about it when
I was going through my divorce on a radio show
I was working out in San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Are you traumatized by that at all?
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Where even though your wife now would not do that,
do you accidentally subconsciously hold that against her?
Speaker 9 (37:00):
That was a big problem in the beginning because I
was damaged by it. And you mentioned about don't go
looking for the devil because you'll find it and So
there were scenarios where I thought she was cheating on me,
but it was just in my head because of a
previous relationship. So I would want to go through her phone,
and I would resist as much as I possibly could
to not do it, and so I happened to this day.
But there have been times where I'm like, I should
check on her to see if she's messing with me too.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Hey yeah, hey, maybe you should never should So the
top people we snoop on her ex's kids.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
Can you go through your kid's phone?
Speaker 4 (37:33):
I think once the kid turns sixteen, it's officially snooping.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
I can still look.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
I'm still also I don't make the official roles, but
I think sixteen is when you kind of have to
give them a like an adult pass, so that pass
can be a revoked.
Speaker 7 (37:49):
Yeah, it's revoked already. Talking scene in one week.
Speaker 8 (37:55):
Well, yeah, because I mean they're just not Sometimes they
just you want to think they're going to make the
best decisions, and then you think about how you can
tell them all the right things. At the end of
the day, a sixteen year old's brain is not fully developed,
so sometimes they're just not going to make like the
best decisions, and I just want to come alongside and
help her. I don't want to get her to get
in trouble for anything. But she has not proved to
(38:16):
me yet that she can make smart decisions, because like
just a week ago, she.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Didn't in any capacity.
Speaker 8 (38:23):
Oh, in some capacities she can, Yeah, kids and phones,
and then I think too Developmentally you have to look, Okay,
chronologically she's sixteen, but you know, developmentally and emotionally and stuff.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
She's not because in orphanage.
Speaker 8 (38:37):
Yeah, I think she's just a little bit behind some
sixteen year olds, which, thank.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Goodness, Eddie too, a little bit behind you, same with me,
not orphanage. Yeah, pile of stories.
Speaker 8 (38:53):
I have five things you definitely don't need to leave
a tip on, or five people you don't need to
give tips.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
The mean story somebody's making less money today because Amy
brought this to the show.
Speaker 10 (39:04):
Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (39:04):
Well, no, some of them get offended. Okay, oh really,
I mean I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Give me a dollar, I'll take it. I don't care
what I'm doing.
Speaker 8 (39:13):
Okay, we don't need to tip service technicians like plumbers
and electricis.
Speaker 7 (39:18):
That?
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Yeah? I know I do because I want them to do.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
You do plumber.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Heck, yeah, I do because if anything breaks, they're more
likely to come back quicker because it's so hard.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
It's so hard to get things scheduled. But if you
greased the palm a.
Speaker 7 (39:34):
Little bit, that's different than you.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
No, it's in the form of a tip.
Speaker 8 (39:39):
Okay, it says here they usually make a good wage
and aren't expecting a tip.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
I would tip them. I do tip them go.
Speaker 7 (39:45):
Ahead flight attendants.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
That would be so weird if I tried that once
and then said I can't take it.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
That would be so weird to try to slide them
cash walking out of the plane.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
That's one I can't see myself doing it.
Speaker 7 (39:58):
Yeah, like they say to hey, the peanuts were great, thanks.
Speaker 8 (40:02):
Like something close to that, Like you wouldn't tip a
firefighter or a paramedic, would you?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Funny, maybe like a twenty but like a car or something.
I don't know. It depends on what if they say
my life or not after putting out a.
Speaker 12 (40:13):
Fire here you go.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
Yeah. The flighting is like, hey, I'm just doing my job.
Speaker 8 (40:17):
And a lot of airlines, like Eddie said, he got
rejected for it because the policy says they can't accept it.
Don't tip if you're traveling in certain countries, it's not expected.
Speaker 7 (40:25):
In Australia, New Zealand.
Speaker 8 (40:27):
And parts of Europe, and in East Asia it's an insult.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Okay, well in these da Asia, I'm not gonna tip.
I'm making a note to myself.
Speaker 8 (40:32):
I'm okay, go ahead, don't tip it restaurants when gratuity
is already included.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
I always do, really, I do too. Listen, I've told
you this.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Now.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
I feel like I owe it back to me of
older year when I was waiting tables. So I will
tip seventy. I'm lucky enough you get to do that now.
And with that they don't put that, thank God, and
the gratuity added already, so I will add to it
for it.
Speaker 7 (41:00):
Yes, people should not feel pressure too because the twenty.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Percent has been just put a dollar two though.
Speaker 5 (41:05):
My favorite when they say the gratuity that it, I'm like,
thank you, don't have to do the calculations.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
I just can't. It feels weird leaving that one blank.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
So yes, I do it for old school mem I
do it for me as a kid.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
That's very selfish.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
It's a very selfish way to give back, and I
hope it's some sort of time machine.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
I'm I'm tipped. Well, go ahead.
Speaker 8 (41:23):
And then lastly, highly trained professionals like nurses, lawyers, accountants.
If you want them to know you appreciate them, send
them a card or give them a positive review online.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Okay, I mean I ain't send them a card.
Speaker 7 (41:37):
Why I've given nurses cards.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
I guess I would send them a gift card.
Speaker 7 (41:42):
Okay, there, Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
That's good. But I only got slider nurse attend you
hit a heck of a vein there?
Speaker 4 (41:50):
All right?
Speaker 2 (41:50):
What else you got?
Speaker 7 (41:51):
Google is going.
Speaker 8 (41:52):
To help us figure out if something online is AI
or not because it's really hard to tell Google aim.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Why are they tell them their friends? Oo good points.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
That'll be like tell me if Eddie slacking off And
I'm like, but say the end. Okay, you can hire
me to do that, but I'm probably not gonna be honest.
Speaker 11 (42:09):
Well.
Speaker 8 (42:09):
The decision, which has been in the works for a
while now, was pushed forward because of some recent viral
faked images of Donald Trump and Pope Francis Is.
Speaker 7 (42:18):
They're like, look, we got to let people.
Speaker 8 (42:19):
Know if something is one hundred percent reel, if it's
partly created by AI or it's an outright deep fake.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
There's a story about Apple now and with the new
phone or new operating system, you can talk to your
friends whomever on the phone fifteen minute. Then it can
replicate your voice at fifteen minutes, and you've trained it
how to be your voice.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
I like that the world's.
Speaker 7 (42:37):
Ending soon that it only takes fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
Which means it really takes about thirty seconds. Let's be honest. Gosh, yeah, crazy.
What else?
Speaker 8 (42:44):
Willie Nelson's ninetieth birthday concert is coming to theaters. It's
called Long Story Short Willie Nelson ninety and it's his
two day ninetieth birthday celebration. Took place at Hollywood Bowl
last month. It's going to be in theaters June eleven.
Keith Richards, George Strait, Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert, Dave Matthews,
Neil young Snoop Dogg, and commercial are all part of it.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
It is not Oh, sounds like one. It does. Yeah,
sounds like a commercial, like we're selling them. Yeah. No,
I just sometimes we'll add like a TV show plug
or something in there that are like, hey put this in. Yeah,
this isn't that.
Speaker 8 (43:18):
No, but tickets are on sale now willing Willie Nelson's
ninety experience dot com.
Speaker 7 (43:24):
No, I just thought people might want to know it is.
Speaker 4 (43:26):
Cool, it was a one day thing, or I have
to go back like an Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 8 (43:31):
It says June eleventh, and then there may be some
special encore presentations on the thirteenth and fourteenth.
Speaker 7 (43:38):
Probably depends on how it does.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
On the eleventh. Okay, so June eleven, it's not a commercial.
Speaker 7 (43:44):
It's not a commercial.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
I used to wear a commercial.
Speaker 8 (43:46):
What do you think I'm getting tipped to say this
is not a commercial?
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Okay, all right, all right, okay.
Speaker 8 (43:53):
It was either I normally try to throw in a
country story ish and so it was either that one
or what was.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
The other one? I like hear the thought process or.
Speaker 8 (44:01):
What wealthy celebrities who are frugal.
Speaker 7 (44:05):
Because they grew up poor?
Speaker 8 (44:06):
Go ahead, okay, and Shania Twain was number one.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
Well, I'm celebrities who are frugal grew up poor. Yeah,
I know that she liked this story way better.
Speaker 8 (44:14):
Yeah, okay, well it was Shania was the only country
person I know who else was on it?
Speaker 7 (44:20):
CARDI b Toby McGuire pardib is frugal.
Speaker 8 (44:22):
Jessica Alba Oh, she says that you might see her
with the jewelry on.
Speaker 7 (44:26):
I jwey on, but she's always looking at her bank account.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
Okay, okay, okay. Toby McGuire, you said, Toby key.
Speaker 7 (44:36):
Now said that.
Speaker 8 (44:38):
She'd sometimes go to school hungry, so now she tells
herself be frugal, save for a rain new day. Toby
maguire said he was born to really young parents, so
he's just very conservative with money because they didn't have
a lot of it. Jessica Alba said she grew up
in survival mode because her parents didn't have a safety net,
so she teaches her children about saving and sustainability. And
then Cameron Diaz said her parents were not well off
(45:01):
and they would collect recycling for extra money. So now
she's careful not to throw things away.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
She will, that's the story.
Speaker 8 (45:09):
Is a order she will splurge, but it's mostly on
experiences like memories and not things.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
All right, Well, I don't know about the story.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
I left it not twain.
Speaker 6 (45:18):
She has like three houses. She has a thirteen million
dollar house in Nothroogles. But I think it's probably based
on what you have.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
If you have one hundred million, you're only spending ten
of it total, that's pretty frugal. If you have one
hundred dollars and you're only spending ten of it and
you keep ninety in the bank, that's pretty for it's saving.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
I was thinking she's living in a townhouse.
Speaker 4 (45:35):
I'm thinking like, thanks all relative right, I'm Amy.
Speaker 7 (45:40):
That's my bile.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the
good news.
Speaker 4 (45:46):
Bobby, a four year old, received a new Teddy Bear
with her late mom's heartbeat thanks to Build a Bear,
Goodwill and a radio station. The girl's original bear was
donated to a good Will store in Tennessee last month.
Her father could not find it find it did not
The purpose wasn't to be donated because again, it had
(46:07):
her late mom's heartbeat in the bear, and so they
put a sign in the store if anybody was here
and bought the bear. A radio stations start talking about
on social media. Build a Bear's public relations director saw
the story that was going viral.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
They were super sad about it.
Speaker 4 (46:23):
So they were able to locate a matching rainbow Sparkle
bear and they added the original recording provided by the
girl's grandmother, which is how they got the heartbeat in
the original bear in the first place. The new bear
was then shipped over and the father's like, look, all
these people did not have to do this.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
It means a lot to us.
Speaker 4 (46:41):
But for goodwill to go through with that, the radio
station to go through with that, and also the build
a bear people to make this bear get to recording,
make another one, Like that's super important.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
I don't think this four year old even.
Speaker 4 (46:53):
Knows how important it is right now, but when she's
like ten, eleven, twelve.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
Years old, it's really going to be important.
Speaker 4 (46:59):
I don't even what the radio station is right say
who it is, even if we're up against him, like,
I don't give crap all that kind of stuff. But
it just has a local radio station. So whoever you
are local radio station, we have once been that local
radio station that people would not mention us. We'd like
to apologize we don't know who you are, or we
would say who you are. So that's what's up. Love
that everybody work together on that. That is what it's
all about. That was telling me something good
Transmitting what's Happening with Friends, Welcome back another week of
the show.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's Monday morning, Studio morning.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
All right, we're gonna go around the room.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Here's the question I'm gonna ask. It's the Monday prompt.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
I'm gonna ask you, if you could go back to
your birth and choose your own name, what would it be.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I don't ever tell.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Them these questions if you listened to this beforehand, so
they don't know. So I like to give him a
second to think about that, because it's weird, because we're
so attached to our names.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I always thought my name was like young Cool.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I were telling my wife, like Bobby, it's like young Cole,
and she googled it. She goes, it was actually the
most popular in nineteen thirty one. And I was like, oh,
and she goes, then you were named after your grandfather,
which in my biological dad's side, who I didn't know.
His name is Bob, And she was, so, you think
your name is yeah. I just thought, like Bobby was
like kidney. Bob was, So if you could go back
(00:59):
and change your at birth, Eddie, what would it be?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Man?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
So like I thought about this when the movie came
out like Forrest Gump.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I thought Forrest would be the coolest name ever. Luchbox's
a friend name Forrest.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
I know, and he was before Forrest Gump. And then
it just the name exploded. Was it was everywhere. I
bet it was miserable for him.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It was miserable. Run Forrest rhyme all the time, over
and over and over. What a what terrible timing?
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Yeah, And I mean that's like when we were in
like middle school, and it was just like everybody said
it over and over.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Forrest is so cool. I'd love that alright, Forrest lunchbox winner?
What winner? Your name is winning?
Speaker 6 (01:39):
Like pronounced wiener? No winner, Like I'm a winner and liar,
that's a good one. No winner, because I'm a winner
in life. And I mean I'm set up from the
start for everybody to know this dude's a winner.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
There are people named doctor. That's d O C t
O ya Doc Martin.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Multiple people named doctor, and that's so people always assume
that they're a doctor.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, that's weird.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
When Amy mine's Josie. I love that name.
Speaker 8 (02:08):
Yeah, because I couldn't name myself Josie. So that's exactly
why I named her that like years ago. Yeah, a
Rotweiler look like a Josie. But I was like, nope,
I love that name. I met a girl somewhere and
she her name is Josie. I was like, oh my gosh,
I love that name. And I always thought if I
had a girl like a baby, i'd named her Josie.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
Never did, so I named my doctor.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I'd probably go with something like Waldo Waldo, yeah, because
it's just I don't know a single Waldo.
Speaker 7 (02:38):
Other than the w where's Waldo?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You know that I can't find him.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
You only know.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I don't know. And what is Waldo even That's gonna be.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Short for something right, like Eddie's friend from Family Matters
for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But like I like Waldo because it's an inch name sound.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
It feels soft, like there's no bad guy Waldo, Waldo,
good dude, you guys run into Waldo lately. Na I
missed that dude though. Yeah, So probably like Waldough. It's
just it's like a different name. It doesn't feel like
it's from the Pilgrims. It doesn't feel like if it's
even today, just like in this mysterious space, Waldo ain
(03:16):
never been in battle Waldough, that's true.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
So yeah, waldo, Daldo, I love it. Yeah, all right,
thank you guys. Let's go. Let's open up the mail bag.
Speaker 9 (03:30):
You send the mail and we read it all the air.
Speaker 10 (03:33):
It's something we call Bobby's mail bag.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yeah, Hello, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Bobby Bones. I
have a married friend who flirts to get things for
free on girls' nights. She will flirt with guys at
the bar to get into buy our drinks. I've seen
her flirt with employees at the mall to get a discount,
waiter's at restaurants, guys at the dire store, you name it.
Sometimes she'll even remove her wedding ring on nights we
go to higher in bars to ensure that she doesn't
(03:57):
have to pay for more expensive drinks. It does seemed
in there. I've never seen her do anything more than that.
I'm not sure if her husband knows about it. My
husband and I are really close with both of them.
Is this something he would want to be aware of
or is this the thing he should find out on
his own? Signed a friend of a flirt or let
me put me in this situation. I got no problem
with Caitlin doing this.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
None what about taking the ring line, don't give a crap,
don't care about that.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So she's not gonna do anything with them. You gotta
save money just by taking your ring off. That's what
you like it.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Heck, yeah, I have no fear that she's gonna cheat
on me. And if she's out and you got all
these dudes wanted to buy her drink, all it takes
is one little action of oh, pulled off the ring,
put in my pocket.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Go for it. He probably knows. He's probably in on it.
Maybe let her rip tat her chip.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
She gets home and tells him how much she.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Said, Yeah, he gets excited.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
And that's what turns him on. See, I would have
no problem with it whatsoever. But I'm also not in
a relationship where I am conc learned that there could
be some funny business going on. I think if that's
happened before or if that's a concern, definitely shouldn't do that.
But for me, I have no I would laugh and
be like sucker them again.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's me. You.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
No, you don't say anything. I don't. Is that her question?
If she should go to the husband.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, but how do you feel about it?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Though?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
No, you don't say anything. I don't have no chance. Yeah,
don't do that. But I also have no problem with
it happening.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
Yeah, I guess I don't have a problem with it happening.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I don't do you do that, I mean any more.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
I don't get drinks bought for me. Though.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
You don't really hate him here, don't. You're like such
a cracker crack. You haven't been out really.
Speaker 8 (05:36):
With the ring Okay, I don't go out, true, but
the seamail makes it seem like, gosh, she gets tons
of stuff for free all the time.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, we haven't been in the mix. Okay, we gotta
mix it up. Okay, I put you in the mixing ball.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
I prefer stay home now mix.

it for free.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And hey, maybe she'll get you you drinks tires. Thinking
about free tiresires? You want to take your right heck,
take your pants off.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Yes, a tires shop is full of st I'm saying,

Speaker 4 (06:41):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Yeah, dude, I didn't pay for one beer, probably drink
about eight of them.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Is it was awesome? Is it because they knew you
were straight?
Speaker 8 (06:49):
I don't know, Like it was probably a game, like
so who can get the straight guy?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I don't know. What do you mean? Who want you
tell me? Yeah? Okay, that works? Unfair questions to pay
for me? And that's true?
Speaker 4 (07:06):

Until I got any sort of success at all. They
were like, uh, you can you can leave, sir.

No.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I came to Bias now and we're good. But we're
good for that. You're kind here, Like what uhn't to
answer your question.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Don't say anything to the husband. Secondly, I don't even care.
That's actually pretty cool. Not everybody feel that way, though.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Thank you. That's the mail bag.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
We got your game mail and.

go to that for lunch box this year, and lunchbox

Speaker 7 (08:29):
Oh my goodness.

I felt so bad for the guy last year.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I mean, they really just didn't want him on the team,
and really only.

Because Bobby really helped him get in that game.

Okay, it's time for the good news.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
Sarah Merrill was seventeen years old when she started at
Dartmouth College as a pre med major. Well it was
there that she also met her husband and then they
had their first child.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
She had every intention.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
Of going back to school, the med school and pursuing
her dreams to become a doctor.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Well then nine.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
Kids later, she just wow, woa. They were very committed
to family.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
She was a whole day at home mom.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
But she wants to other women to know and other
mothers out there, do not give up on your dreams.
Because now at forty one, she just graduated from medical school.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well we shouldna act like forty one that old though, honestly.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah, I mean ninety yeah, and he's like forty one.
We're like, that's not that old. It's a great story.
She had a lot of kids, went back, but Amy's like,
you'll never believe it. What's that her age?
Speaker 10 (13:21):
Well?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, what is it? She's so old?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Really?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
You want whoa so much?
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Your age?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I mean, I'm trying to be an actress at forty one. Yeah,
you need to concentrate on the nine children forty one?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Are you?
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (13:32):
I was about to say, I'm trying to picture myself
at forty two going back and doing all the things
in med school. And then she's starting her residency and
then she like she still has other things. She got
a complete and so it's just pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Nine kids is the highlight. I mean, forty one you
still have plenty.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
She's already graduated, so she started, she went back up
like thirty five.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
You know what I mean, fertile, myrtle.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
We're getting way too into it here. I want to
say good for her. Yes, boy has a lot of
kids though. Yeah, wow, there'd be like some triplets in
there somewhere right. Otherwise, just pregnant your whole life. Great story,
that's what it's all about. That was tell me something good.
So Bobby Bones Show Interviews. In case you didn't know,
(14:11):
her name is Caroline Jones. She's such a great musician.
She plays, I mean all kinds of stuff. I'm gonna
ask her in a minute, but she plays so many instruments.
She's a great solo artist. We'll be talking about a
project called Superpower. But she's also the first female member
of the Zach Brown Band. Like Zach was like, join
our band in that band, you gotta be really good.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
So here she is.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Her name is Caroline Jones. Let's talk to her now
on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Caroline Jones, Caroline's good
to see you.
Speaker 12 (14:39):
Good to see you.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Have you been in here before?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Never?
Speaker 13 (14:43):
I'm so excited. It's kind of surreal. From the green
room because we've watched it so many times.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Oh that's nice, Yeah, say Caroline's awesome. She plays How
many of these things do you now? I'm gonna just
ask you this, What instruments do you play?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Carolyn?
Speaker 13 (14:57):
I play guitar, piano, banjo, dobro, and harmonica.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
When you play the harmonica, do you cause I can
cheat at the harmonica.
Speaker 12 (15:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
If we're playing a song in a I'll just get
a harmonic and go.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
And it matches.
Speaker 12 (15:12):
Dylan made a career doing that, and.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Then everybody's like, Wow, I play harmonica. What's the difference
in how you play harmonica and me?
Speaker 13 (15:19):
Just a slight I might be slightly better than you.
Speaker 12 (15:25):
No, Honestly, I love.
Speaker 13 (15:26):
Playing different instruments. I love production, and when I was young,
I just did solo acoustics shows, so I picked up
different instruments to try to make my show more interesting.
I was playing at high schools and colleges at the time,
so it's pretty humbling experience trying to get their attention.
So that's what made me pick up the banjo in
different tunings and different instruments, and I just love I
remember listening to records when I was a teenager and
(15:47):
just thinking, how do they make it sound like that?
Like how do the layers fit together? What is a
guitar player playing? And I was just fascinated by the
intricacies of production. And that's really the kind of the
mission behind.
Speaker 12 (15:59):
Play different instruments.
Speaker 13 (16:00):
I'm not a prodigy on any of them, but I
love it and it's a lifelong craft and I just
love playing.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
This is a compliment in a question, and don't take
it otherwise.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Were you a nerd as a kid?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
No, if you were so jealous, cool.
Speaker 12 (16:18):
It's cool.
Speaker 13 (16:18):
No, I wasn't a nerd, but I was super introspective,
like I was a very mature. I was kind of
a loner, I would say. But I don't know if
i'd say call myself a nerd because I hated school.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Really do you make good grades?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (16:30):
I did, but I was just kind of a perfectionist
and driven. But I really never enjoyed it. I always
wanted to do something creative, Like.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I made good grades because I wanted to get out
of there. Me too, It wasn't that I loved learning.
Speaker 12 (16:42):
And also I'm just kind of ocd. I couldn't like
my husband is like whatever, I.
Speaker 13 (16:46):
Wouldn't do the paper, I wouldn't study, like that would
give me so much anxiety.
Speaker 12 (16:49):
I just felt like, I, you.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Know, tell Amy about your husband, how you met him,
what the whole situation.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
Is, Hi?
Speaker 13 (16:55):
Amy, Hi, My husband is a professional sailor. So he
races sailboats around the world and it's a really niche
sport that I knew nothing about before meeting him. And
he's sailed around the world on this race called the
Volvo Ocean Race four times. He's done an America's Cup,
which is kind of like the super Bowl of sailing.
(17:17):
And so all that to say, not to uh get
his head too big, but more just to say that
he has the coolest life experiences.
Speaker 12 (17:25):
Like he has the coolest stories.
Speaker 13 (17:26):
He's lived all over the world, every continent except Antarctica,
and and so he's seen all these cultures, and he's
seen all the seven Seas four times over, and he
just has the most amazing stories.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
Okay, this is so crazy because I just finished this
movie with my son on Netflix about the Australian girl
that is the first.
Speaker 12 (17:46):
Yes, that she sailed around by herself.
Speaker 8 (17:48):
At sixteen years old, yes, which is wild to me.
I'm like, her parents.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
Let her go.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
That's the one that they got by sharks.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
No, no, she did it, but like nobody will leave.
During the beginning they were like, how to her parents,
how could you let her do this? And then when
she by it took two hundred and ten days and
when she came back to the port in Australia, there
was thousands and thousands and thousands of people there cheering
her on and waiting for her.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
And she went around the world all by yourself. So
all you flat, Earthur is they call the show watch
this movie?
Speaker 8 (18:21):
Yeah, and her boat was named Pink And anyway, it.
Speaker 7 (18:25):
Was really good. I know nothing about sailing.
Speaker 13 (18:27):
I haven't seen that movie yet, but that's super dangerous.
Did they actually let her or I think she escaped?
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Right?
Speaker 8 (18:33):
That was not included in the film because I think
they want to encourage children too.
Speaker 13 (18:37):
Well kids, But yeah, no, it's pretty wild.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
So I know nothing about sailing other than I just
watched that movie.
Speaker 12 (18:45):
That I still got to see that.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
So he was in another country? Was it like pandemic time?
Speaker 13 (18:51):
And yeah, so we actually met during the pandemic here
in America. But then six weeks after we met, he
had to move to New Zealand for a year to
train in the Americ's Cup, and all my.
Speaker 12 (19:01):
Tours were canceled. I was supposed to be touring with
Lucas Nelson.
Speaker 13 (19:03):
It all got canceled and I was just sitting at
home freshly in love, and so I ended up moving
with him and we spent the pandemic in New Zealand,
which I kind.
Speaker 12 (19:13):
Of I hesitate to tell people about.
Speaker 13 (19:16):
Because I kind of they're like, you won the pandemic.
You know, it's kind of not fair because there was
no COVID in New Zealand and it was like having
a gap year when you're thirty.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You know, So where did you live? Did you live
like an Airbnb or.
Speaker 12 (19:28):
Yeah, we actually did, we lived in it.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Did you moved them?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Did you move around from Airbnb Tobe?
Speaker 12 (19:32):
Once they lost the Cup, America got eliminated.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
First spoiler, I was waiting to watch the docu series
on that.
Speaker 13 (19:40):
Once they lost, we got to travel a lot, which
was kind of the silver lining because we didn't have
to go home yet.
Speaker 12 (19:47):
But initially we were just in Auckland.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Man, that'd been cool, huh.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I just would be freaking out that wasn't working I
did play any shows.
Speaker 12 (19:56):
I played some shows there.
Speaker 13 (19:57):
Actually I met a bluegrass band over there, which is
so so funny because I had to sit in a
hotel room for two weeks during quarantine in New Zealand
because they that's how they did it to make sure
you didn't have COVID. And I just googled bluegrass band
in New Zealand, not knowing that bluegrass and country is
not popular in New Zealand at all. Bluegrass is basically
non existent, so I didn't know at the time. I
(20:19):
found the one bluegrass band that is in New Zealand,
and it's this awesome family band of Kiwi's and they're
still my really good friends to this day. But I
gigged around with them and we did some shows together.
The trend wis But I wrote and recorded a lot
of my second record over there remotely, so that's great.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
I never stopped truly, Yeah, you were working.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Well.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
She just went to New Zealand with.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
My dad and it worked out like that's like that
that other Netflix documentary those people that got stuck in
the other country because of COVID on there.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Like the second Best Day Everett.
Speaker 12 (20:57):
Now, I was pretty sure.
Speaker 13 (20:58):
I mean I I never really dated a lot prior
to my husband, Like I was super career focused.
Speaker 12 (21:04):
But I don't know, it's very different.
Speaker 13 (21:05):
I don't know if you guys have this experience, but
it's very different when you when you meet your person.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
I think answers yes for me, I will say that
because if I don't answer and just jump in, who
knows I might get murdered later. But yeah, the answer
is yes for me, that did happen?
Speaker 12 (21:20):
Yes, yes, Caroline does she listen to the show?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Okay, the only time she ever sees or hears anything
about it ever is if it pops up on her
Instagram a clip of something that we post.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
But no, she does not listen.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
She avoids it because we're in here arguing about stupid
stuff and will hyper hyperboleized stuff and she's like, that's
not my version of its story.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I'm like, well you can come on. I'm not coming on.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
So it just you know, it keeps us from arguing
about you said.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
Murder a second ago.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
That's I overheard the other day because she was explaining
to someone but she doesn't listen, and she was like, oh,
because because I'd murder him.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
She killed me.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Really, that's pretty much it Okay, So Caroline didn't just
come to hang out with us, although that would be fun.
Caroline came in because the new EP is out called Superpower.
It's five tracks, and what's the difference. What are these
five tracks about as compared to your last record that
I can't even pronounce?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Still, okay, we'll just leave.
Speaker 12 (22:18):
That this new record.
Speaker 13 (22:21):
So this EP is the first half of my next album,
which the full thing will be out this fall. I'm
trying to release as much music as incrementally as possible
in this modern market, which is something I've been wanting
to do for a really long time because that's how
I consume.
Speaker 12 (22:35):
So this is kind of the first taste. We've already
put out three of.
Speaker 13 (22:37):
The songs, and now all of them are out, and
this next record, I think thematically, is really about like
resilience and grit, which is something that I feel like
I've been developing over the last couple of years especially,
and so I've just been writing a lot about that.
Speaker 12 (22:53):
That's what the title track, Superpower is about.
Speaker 13 (22:55):
It's about kind of the triumphs and heartbreaks of chasing
this dream and as you get older, immature, and as
you spend a few years. In this industry, there's a
lot of jaded people. There's a lot of rejection, there's
a lot of disappointment and heartbreak, and you constantly have
to self assess, keep your eyes open and be honest
(23:15):
with yourself and recommit yourself to your dream and your
integrity and why are you doing this? And and so
that's what that song is about. It's like really raw,
honest song. But all the songs kind of play on
those themes.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I'm sailing around the world that right there. I'm now
going to get in a boat and do it. So, uh,
let's see, I was looking at the trucks. Can you
play Lawless for us?
Speaker 12 (23:37):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Okay. So this is Caroline Jones. This is her song Lawless.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
This whole the all five of these tricks came out
on Friday, and here she is live in studio.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Nice, Holy crap, I'm great. I mean, what did you
see there?
Speaker 7 (23:51):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (23:53):
The whatever is on your finger with the guitar and
the sliding back and forth.
Speaker 12 (23:56):
And we actually had an outro for the slide but
my slide track.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
So but I was very impressed with Yeah, that part.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
I can't I don't know what it's called that's exactly
it up and.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Yeah, this slide, well, Carolyn brought a player with her
by what your name? I already knew it, asked, I
much wanted to say himself. Riley's playing with her and singing,
you know, background vocals.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah, but Carolyn played the lead on that.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
She played the solo. That was her and rarely does
someone and Riley, I'm sure you're a great player at all.
Speaker 12 (24:26):
He's amazing.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Rarely does someone come in and bring a player. Didn't
play the solo.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
As well, which is really freaking cool.
Speaker 13 (24:32):
Oh thanks, Yeah, we were actually just trying to figure
this out last night because it's a very very electric song,
so we arranged that last night.
Speaker 12 (24:43):
But this was fun. This is a resonator guitar actually,
so it's kind of good for if you're going to
do acoustics slide. It's very loud play.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Can you play a little bit of the solo slow
if you want?
Speaker 12 (24:53):
What the Actually, let's just do the out we were
going to do.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Okay, this is one to.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
The that's so cool you're playing.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
She's playing so far down the neck, like not even
where the frets are. She's like playing the belly part.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Of the guitar.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
That's awesome, Caroline, you so okay. Look, she's got five
songs that are out today. It's first half of the
it's an EP called Superpower, but the rest of it
comes out this.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Fall, right, correct, And you can see Carolina out on
the road.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
And I definitely wanted to get to this a little
later because I wanted this to be about you more
than about you joining Zach Brown Band. But she was
the first team member of Zach Brown Band, and you're
playing with them all fall too, right, correct?
Speaker 12 (26:01):
You have the we have a we have an all
summer tour.
Speaker 13 (26:05):
I think I have like one hundred shows in the
next six months because I play a bunch of shows
with them, and then I play a bunch of my
own shows.
Speaker 12 (26:11):
And I love it.
Speaker 13 (26:12):
It's so much fun because I go from stadiums to
to I guess bars and clubs that we're playing in headlining,
which is so cool because I'd never gotten to headline
till last year. So even to have people come to
your own show pay money to see you in Iowa
and Illinois, it's like, it's so wild to me.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
How do you get paid by Zach?
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Did show up with the think of cash at the
end of a show, or does he paid to a
check that comes to off money to the band as
they Yeah?
Speaker 12 (26:38):
Yeah, is that?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Like?
Speaker 12 (26:40):
I don't know if I should just close that.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I did you get paid like a real job?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Just show up in your account?
Speaker 13 (26:44):
Yep, okay, yeah, I get paid like a real job.
Speaker 12 (26:48):
I know.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Yeah, I want like a rubber band over like a
Zack ground CD of cash handed to it.
Speaker 12 (26:52):
But I don't take that for granted at all.
Speaker 13 (26:54):
I mean, it is so to have to have an
actual career in music is such a rare thing, and
so no, it's really exciting to call it a real job.
Speaker 12 (27:03):
What are you so long trying.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
To do for that band?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Like?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
What's your role?
Speaker 13 (27:08):
I'm kind of a utilities person, which is a term,
a natural term for any instrument that needs to be
covered that's not being covered. So I mostly play acoustic guitar,
but I see I also play B three in the
band sometimes sorry organ or keys, and sometimes I play rhythm,
electric or banjo kind of whatever they need. And actually
(27:31):
I didn't play organ. When Zach first called me, he
was like, can you come and play utilities? And he
knew I played a bunch of acoustic instruments, and he's like,
you play B three right, And I was like no,
and he's like you will by August right, and I
was like.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeap, yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Why is it called B three?
Speaker 12 (27:48):
That's a good question. It's just the kind of organ.
Speaker 13 (27:51):
There are a bunch of different kinds of organs like
church organ and B three. I'm not sure exactly why
it's called a B three in particular.
Speaker 12 (27:57):
We can research.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Do you have to know all the songs in on
all the instruments then? Just in case, Like if somebody
goes out and can't play the intro to Chicken Fry,
can you play it?
Speaker 7 (28:06):
Well?
Speaker 12 (28:07):
Nobody can play it like Zach. I mean people don't realize.
Speaker 13 (28:09):
Yeah, people don't realize what a characteristic and skilled guitar
player he is. Like when he picks up a nylon
guitar in a room like this, I mean, you can't
believe the sound that comes out. It sounds exactly like
a Zach Brown record. Like it's just it's so funny.
But I could play it, but not like Zach.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
What is your favorite song to play with the band.
Speaker 13 (28:30):
There's this song called Sweet Annie. That's my I just
love the harmonies that do you know that song? You
should listen to it.
Speaker 12 (28:36):
It's so good.
Speaker 13 (28:37):
But the harmonies in that song are my favorite because
I love singing harmony with them. You know, there's a
bunch of amazing singers singing harmony.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
It's like eight dudes in you.
Speaker 12 (28:49):
Yeah yeah, nine nine dudes.
Speaker 13 (28:51):
You think, wait, sorry, and they're like, dude, yeah yeah,
hardcore like you.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
If you're like your own room, your own bus or something.
Speaker 12 (29:01):
I do have my own bus. I'm really lucky that way.
Speaker 13 (29:03):
I also think it just wouldn't have worked. They're all,
you know, they have their dynamics still worked out. I
don't know if I could have gone on their bus
and made them feel comfortable.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Well, you had to grow a beard. I think everybody
has a beard. Just about it.
Speaker 12 (29:14):
It's funny. I went out on one show.
Speaker 13 (29:16):
I played a joke on them and went out and
a beard after I was announced as an official member.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
That's funny, Caroline, You're really good and I hope everybody
checks out.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's called Superpower. It's five songs.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Hey, Ray, give me a little bit of Superpower, which
she was talking about earlier. Truck So you wrote to
them by yourself when you write by yourself.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Where do you usually do that?
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Is it purpose full time you set aside to ride
or does something come and then you just kind of
jump into it.
Speaker 13 (29:50):
Typically the latter. I write a lot, I hike a lot.
I love being in nature, so I write a lot
on my walks, and just I play a lot at home,
Like if I have a day off, I'll play for
two or three hours, and a lot of times something
creative will will pop out or bubble up.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
What was the first famous guitar part you ever learned?
Where you were like, I'm playing it, I cannot believe it?
Speaker 13 (30:17):
Probably actually one of the songs that we cover sometimes
never going back again, because I really.
Speaker 12 (30:23):
Loved and gravitated towards finger picking early on when I
learned the guitar, and I ever going back again.
Speaker 13 (30:29):
It's that Fleetwood Mac song Dank Dank Dank We should well,
it's in a different tuning, but you can kind of
show it's it's a song off their famous album Rumors,
and I love that album, and so yeah, play a
little bit for you.
Speaker 12 (31:02):
Have you heard that?
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 13 (31:06):
Anyway, it's really hard to play on this guitar right
now because the action's so high for slide. But I
love fingerpicking, so those were some of the first things
I learned to play that I loved. He knows all
the like big riff kind of songs.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
They also played a twelve string yeah, which seems impossible
to tune.
Speaker 12 (31:23):
That's big mama, Yeah, especially on that song in particular.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Yeah, well you do it all, Caroline. Everyone check out Superpower.
It's five songs. There's also a song Superpower. Don't be confused.
Listen to the whole project and see Caroline out on
the road. Go to our socials at Caroline Jones for
all the dates. Thank you for coming in. I always
love seeing you. You guys crushed it and man, I
(31:47):
feel like I should go to a show. Yeah, she's
doing solos. I just pulled out a Fleetwood Max song
the whole thing there. Okay, you guys go check out
Caroline Jones. Well back in just a second. Have you
ever snooped through someone's phone? Snooping means they don't know
you're snooping through their phone, Like straight snoop, don't care
who it is.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Have you've done it, Eddie? Yeah, my wife's you didn't
have to say who I'm be honest with you. I
mean I appreciate. I mean it was the closest A
was there.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
You know you were just looking like, yeah, I just
looking through.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Something something not looking for looking through.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
There's a difference, Like my wife has my code because
a lot of times I'm like, hey, I need this picture.
I don't want to walk in the living room. You're
in there and my phone's in there. Will you send
me this picture. I don't give a crap. I don't
anything to hide.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
But that's it. That's looking through.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
And my wife's very I mean, I trust her one
hundred percent. But when a text comes through and I don't,
I like, it just pops up and I don't know
that number, I'm like, who is that?
Speaker 2 (32:40):
What did they talk about?
Speaker 7 (32:41):
To see?
Speaker 4 (32:41):
If maybe she talks about you in a positive for
a negative way to her friends.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
She never talks about me. Never.
Speaker 7 (32:49):
There's nothing good.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
All right, all right, all right, lunchbox. You ever snooped
through someone's phone?
Speaker 4 (32:53):
No?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Never, no need to No. I thought he looked at abbes. No,
it popped up the screen. I took a picture. It
never went through it.
Speaker 7 (33:01):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
He's answering, honestly, that's also shady, though, just in a
different way. Not because he took a picture of our
text message. You wanted to say, because they sent it
to me to go, hey, read this on the air.
But that showed his baby around here. Yes, that's it. Okay,
fair enough, Wow.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Fair enough.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Eighty two percent of us have snooped through someone's phone before.
I have not snooped, mostly not because I'm better than it.
You ever, hear, if you call out the devil, he
just might come. My grandma used to say that if
you call out the devil, he just might come. And
so if you go looking, you might find something you
don't like, even something that's not them being dishonest with you.
It could be them talking to a close friend about
(33:41):
some situation that happened interpersonally, like fight and they just
want to vent. But you said, shucks, something like this.
Oh yeah, So I don't snoop. I've never snooped, mostly
because I'm scared for me, and I take everything I
don't want to say personal because I don't take any personal.
I'll take anything wrong. If there's a way I should
take it, I don't think it that way. Ever, I'll
take it the exact opposite way, I probably should.
Speaker 8 (34:00):
Yeah, someone was circumstantial and and very codependent behavior.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
I wouldn't do it now.
Speaker 8 (34:07):
I wouldn't do it to how I've worked on my codependency.
Speaker 7 (34:11):
I wouldn't do it now.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
But there was a time where I was trying to
just control too many things and I was sort of
losing my mind.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
So I did sort of losing your mind. But she
did that wacky head. Yeah, I can.
Speaker 7 (34:26):
Tell you some other crazy things I did.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
I'm not fat, say everybody here, you know, let's get it.
Let's have a further distance, at least maybe one day. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Eighty two percent of us a snoop through someone's phone.
The two most likely victims are our significant other end exes.
But eight percent of looked through a friend's phone to snoop.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Oh no, that's dirty, dog.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
Don't go to a friend's phone never, and three percent
have snooped on a coworker. Ooh that's even dirty, dirty
your dog.
Speaker 8 (34:56):
Well, we used to if you left your computer open.
Not I mean we as a collect like everyone. If
some had Twitter opened the act back in the.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Day, that's not the same. I would someone's Twitter. Yeah,
I thought it was hilarious. I would go on and
be like, Bob's huge, those tight pantsy has on. They
look good from both sides. So, but that's not snooping
through someone's phone. Yeah, I bet you, Scuba Steve has
snooped the crap out of someone's phone.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Scuba Steve, you snooped it. It would be my ex wife.
Speaker 9 (35:25):
We talked about it before when she was cheating on
me and all these messages were popping up, and that's
when I was like, I'm going.
Speaker 7 (35:32):
Deep and I'm digging and I'm looking for things.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Did you find other things though that, because yeah, she
ended up cheating. He found pictures, he let her dad
know before he let her. It is a whole situation.
It's amazing. It's an amazing story. Did you find anything
else so that you weren't expecting that maybe wasn't cheating,
but other little.
Speaker 9 (35:49):
Secrets money spent on, like a trip to Hawaii, And
I lighted it up at a time when she was
doing a work trip to somewhere else, like in the mainland,
and then I found out she was going to Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
I like, You're going Hawaii.
Speaker 14 (36:00):
I was like, oh my goodness, my favorite Scuba Steed story,
and he has a lot of them, is that he
caught his ex wife cheating on him and then said
nothing to her for days because he sent an email
to her dad.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Her dad's old did chickimilvery offense. So we just waited
how many days from when you found out and sent
that email till you finally confronted her?
Speaker 9 (36:23):
I mean it was probably She confronted me about three
weeks later, three weeks and they were like they were
half naked photos too that I sent to her father.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Do you knew that he knew it for three weeks?
There is no way I could have kept that in.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
That's crazy that did you document that like live as
it was happening or not live?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Because but right after that publicly at all?
Speaker 9 (36:44):
I never on social but we talked about it when
I was going through my divorce on a radio show
I was working out in San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Are you traumatized by that at all?
Speaker 4 (36:53):
Where even though your wife now would not do that,
do you accidentally subconsciously hold that against her?
Speaker 9 (37:00):
That was a big problem in the beginning because I
was damaged by it. And you mentioned about don't go
looking for the devil because you'll find it and So
there were scenarios where I thought she was cheating on me,
but it was just in my head because of a
previous relationship. So I would want to go through her phone,
and I would resist as much as I possibly could
to not do it, and so I happened to this day.
But there have been times where I'm like, I should
check on her to see if she's messing with me too.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Hey yeah, hey, maybe you should never should So the
top people we snoop on her ex's kids.
Speaker 7 (37:32):
Can you go through your kid's phone?
Speaker 4 (37:33):
I think once the kid turns sixteen, it's officially snooping.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
I can still look.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
I'm still also I don't make the official roles, but
I think sixteen is when you kind of have to
give them a like an adult pass, so that pass
can be a revoked.
Speaker 7 (37:49):
Yeah, it's revoked already. Talking scene in one week.
Speaker 8 (37:55):
Well, yeah, because I mean they're just not Sometimes they
just you want to think they're going to make the
best decisions, and then you think about how you can
tell them all the right things. At the end of
the day, a sixteen year old's brain is not fully developed,
so sometimes they're just not going to make like the
best decisions, and I just want to come alongside and
help her. I don't want to get her to get
in trouble for anything. But she has not proved to
(38:16):
me yet that she can make smart decisions, because like
just a week ago, she.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Didn't in any capacity.
Speaker 8 (38:23):
Oh, in some capacities she can, Yeah, kids and phones,
and then I think too Developmentally you have to look, Okay,
chronologically she's sixteen, but you know, developmentally and emotionally and stuff.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
She's not because in orphanage.
Speaker 8 (38:37):
Yeah, I think she's just a little bit behind some
sixteen year olds, which, thank.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Goodness, Eddie too, a little bit behind you, same with me,
not orphanage. Yeah, pile of stories.
Speaker 8 (38:53):
I have five things you definitely don't need to leave
a tip on, or five people you don't need to
give tips.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
The mean story somebody's making less money today because Amy
brought this to the show.
Speaker 10 (39:04):
Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (39:04):
Well, no, some of them get offended. Okay, oh really,
I mean I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Give me a dollar, I'll take it. I don't care
what I'm doing.
Speaker 8 (39:13):
Okay, we don't need to tip service technicians like plumbers
and electricis.
Speaker 7 (39:18):
That?
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Yeah? I know I do because I want them to do.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
You do plumber.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Heck, yeah, I do because if anything breaks, they're more
likely to come back quicker because it's so hard.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
It's so hard to get things scheduled. But if you
greased the palm a.
Speaker 7 (39:34):
Little bit, that's different than you.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
No, it's in the form of a tip.
Speaker 8 (39:39):
Okay, it says here they usually make a good wage
and aren't expecting a tip.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
I would tip them. I do tip them go.
Speaker 7 (39:45):
Ahead flight attendants.
Speaker 5 (39:48):
That would be so weird if I tried that once
and then said I can't take it.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
That would be so weird to try to slide them
cash walking out of the plane.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
That's one I can't see myself doing it.
Speaker 7 (39:58):
Yeah, like they say to hey, the peanuts were great, thanks.
Speaker 8 (40:02):
Like something close to that, Like you wouldn't tip a
firefighter or a paramedic, would you?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Funny, maybe like a twenty but like a car or something.
I don't know. It depends on what if they say
my life or not after putting out a.
Speaker 12 (40:13):
Fire here you go.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
Yeah. The flighting is like, hey, I'm just doing my job.
Speaker 8 (40:17):
And a lot of airlines, like Eddie said, he got
rejected for it because the policy says they can't accept it.
Don't tip if you're traveling in certain countries, it's not expected.
Speaker 7 (40:25):
In Australia, New Zealand.
Speaker 8 (40:27):
And parts of Europe, and in East Asia it's an insult.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Okay, well in these da Asia, I'm not gonna tip.
I'm making a note to myself.
Speaker 8 (40:32):
I'm okay, go ahead, don't tip it restaurants when gratuity
is already included.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
I always do, really, I do too. Listen, I've told
you this.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Now.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
I feel like I owe it back to me of
older year when I was waiting tables. So I will
tip seventy. I'm lucky enough you get to do that now.
And with that they don't put that, thank God, and
the gratuity added already, so I will add to it
for it.
Speaker 7 (41:00):
Yes, people should not feel pressure too because the twenty.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Percent has been just put a dollar two though.
Speaker 5 (41:05):
My favorite when they say the gratuity that it, I'm like,
thank you, don't have to do the calculations.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
I just can't. It feels weird leaving that one blank.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
So yes, I do it for old school mem I
do it for me as a kid.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
That's very selfish.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
It's a very selfish way to give back, and I
hope it's some sort of time machine.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
I'm I'm tipped. Well, go ahead.
Speaker 8 (41:23):
And then lastly, highly trained professionals like nurses, lawyers, accountants.
If you want them to know you appreciate them, send
them a card or give them a positive review online.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Okay, I mean I ain't send them a card.
Speaker 7 (41:37):
Why I've given nurses cards.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
I guess I would send them a gift card.
Speaker 7 (41:42):
Okay, there, Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
That's good. But I only got slider nurse attend you
hit a heck of a vein there?
Speaker 4 (41:50):
All right?
Speaker 2 (41:50):
What else you got?
Speaker 7 (41:51):
Google is going.
Speaker 8 (41:52):
To help us figure out if something online is AI
or not because it's really hard to tell Google aim.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Why are they tell them their friends? Oo good points.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
That'll be like tell me if Eddie slacking off And
I'm like, but say the end. Okay, you can hire
me to do that, but I'm probably not gonna be honest.
Speaker 11 (42:09):
Well.
Speaker 8 (42:09):
The decision, which has been in the works for a
while now, was pushed forward because of some recent viral
faked images of Donald Trump and Pope Francis Is.
Speaker 7 (42:18):
They're like, look, we got to let people.
Speaker 8 (42:19):
Know if something is one hundred percent reel, if it's
partly created by AI or it's an outright deep fake.
Speaker 4 (42:25):
There's a story about Apple now and with the new
phone or new operating system, you can talk to your
friends whomever on the phone fifteen minute. Then it can
replicate your voice at fifteen minutes, and you've trained it
how to be your voice.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
I like that the world's.
Speaker 7 (42:37):
Ending soon that it only takes fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
Which means it really takes about thirty seconds. Let's be honest. Gosh, yeah, crazy.
What else?
Speaker 8 (42:44):
Willie Nelson's ninetieth birthday concert is coming to theaters. It's
called Long Story Short Willie Nelson ninety and it's his
two day ninetieth birthday celebration. Took place at Hollywood Bowl
last month. It's going to be in theaters June eleven.
Keith Richards, George Strait, Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert, Dave Matthews,
Neil young Snoop Dogg, and commercial are all part of it.
Speaker 2 (43:07):

I just sometimes we'll add like a TV show plug
or something in there that are like, hey put this in. Yeah,
this isn't that.
Speaker 8 (43:18):
No, but tickets are on sale now willing Willie Nelson's
ninety experience dot com.
Speaker 7 (43:24):
No, I just thought people might want to know it is.
Speaker 4 (43:26):
Cool, it was a one day thing, or I have
to go back like an Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 8 (43:31):
It says June eleventh, and then there may be some
special encore presentations on the thirteenth and fourteenth.
Speaker 7 (43:38):
Probably depends on how it does.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
On the eleventh. Okay, so June eleven, it's not a commercial.
Speaker 7 (43:44):
It's not a commercial.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
I used to wear a commercial.
Speaker 8 (43:46):
What do you think I'm getting tipped to say this
is not a commercial?
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Okay, all right, all right, okay.
Speaker 8 (43:53):
It was either I normally try to throw in a
country story ish and so it was either that one
or what was.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
The other one? I like hear the thought process or.
Speaker 8 (44:01):
What wealthy celebrities who are frugal.
Speaker 7 (44:05):
Because they grew up poor?
Speaker 8 (44:06):
Go ahead, okay, and Shania Twain was number one.
Speaker 2 (44:09):
Well, I'm celebrities who are frugal grew up poor. Yeah,

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Okay, okay, okay. Toby McGuire, you said, Toby key.
Speaker 7 (44:36):
Now said that.
Speaker 8 (44:38):
She'd sometimes go to school hungry, so now she tells
herself be frugal, save for a rain new day. Toby
maguire said he was born to really young parents, so
he's just very conservative with money because they didn't have
a lot of it. Jessica Alba said she grew up
in survival mode because her parents didn't have a safety net,
so she teaches her children about saving and sustainability. And
then Cameron Diaz said her parents were not well off
(45:01):
and they would collect recycling for extra money. So now
she's careful not to throw things away.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
She will, that's the story.
Speaker 8 (45:09):
Is a order she will splurge, but it's mostly on
experiences like memories and not things.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
All right, Well, I don't know about the story.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
I left it not twain.
Speaker 6 (45:18):
She has like three houses. She has a thirteen million
dollar house in Nothroogles. But I think it's probably based
on what you have.
Speaker 4 (45:23):
If you have one hundred million, you're only spending ten
of it total, that's pretty frugal. If you have one
hundred dollars and you're only spending ten of it and
you keep ninety in the bank, that's pretty for it's saving.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
I was thinking she's living in a townhouse.
Speaker 4 (45:35):
I'm thinking like, thanks all relative right, I'm Amy.
Speaker 7 (45:40):
That's my bile.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the
good news.
Speaker 4 (45:46):
Bobby, a four year old, received a new Teddy Bear
with her late mom's heartbeat thanks to Build a Bear,
Goodwill and a radio station. The girl's original bear was
donated to a good Will store in Tennessee last month.
Her father could not find it find it did not
The purpose wasn't to be donated because again, it had
(46:07):
her late mom's heartbeat in the bear, and so they
put a sign in the store if anybody was here
and bought the bear. A radio stations start talking about
on social media. Build a Bear's public relations director saw
the story that was going viral.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
They were super sad about it.
Speaker 4 (46:23):
So they were able to locate a matching rainbow Sparkle
bear and they added the original recording provided by the
girl's grandmother, which is how they got the heartbeat in
the original bear in the first place. The new bear
was then shipped over and the father's like, look, all
these people did not have to do this.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
It means a lot to us.
Speaker 4 (46:41):
But for goodwill to go through with that, the radio
station to go through with that, and also the build
a bear people to make this bear get to recording,
make another one, Like that's super important.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
I don't think this four year old even.
Speaker 4 (46:53):
Knows how important it is right now, but when she's
like ten, eleven, twelve.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
Years old, it's really going to be important.
Speaker 4 (46:59):
I don't even what the radio station is right say
who it is, even if we're up against him, like,
I don't give crap all that kind of stuff. But
it just has a local radio station. So whoever you
are local radio station, we have once been that local
radio station that people would not mention us. We'd like
to apologize we don't know who you are, or we
would say who you are. So that's what's up. Love
that everybody work together on that. That is what it's
all about. That was telling me something good
