Speaker 1 (00:03):
Transmitting welcome back Morden Studio morning. Hope. We had a
great weekend. Let's just get right to it. A Lunchbox
had his garage seal over the weekend. Finally here's a
call asking about it. I was just wondering how lunch
boxes garage sale went. And what I really wanted to
(00:26):
know is did he get to keep the money or
did his wife get to keep the money? You know,
since they do have separate bank accounts, whose money is
that that they got from the garage sale? That's a
great question. So it finally happened. You didn't want it
to happen. You felt like it was a bad image
for you. Yes, as you're so rich and famous, I'm famous,
people are gonna think I'm poor. I think I'm having
(00:46):
financial problems. Maybe we're getting kicked out of our house,
so we have to get rid of some of our stuff.
All that goes into it when you're having a garage
So that's what people think when they come to the garage.
Anybody that's having never let me tell you, a garage
sale is a lot harder work than you guys think. No,
I've had them. It is exhausting. Yeah, I mean you
are up the night before really late, trying to get
it ready, and then you got to get up bright
(01:07):
and early the next morn the sun comes up because
people are ready. Oh you're here. People need to get
a life. I mean it is six fifteen in the
morning and we're still putting stuff out and people are
pulling up in their cars. So this is why you
get there early, because all the good stuff is still
there when you first put it out. It gets picked
over by nine o'clock. And so we would go garage sailing.
We were in our cars when it was nighttime. We
(01:27):
had already drawn a plan to where we were gonna go.
We're gonna get there based on where we thought had
the best stuff. So they're doing that because they know
your best stuff goes out then and gets bought. Then.
I get that, but I had to tell them, hey,
we're not ready yet. We're not ready yet, like we're
not open. Pretty business when they got stuff there, but
we're not open. Yeah, I understand if I put hours,
we're hey, we're opening this time. I didn't say I
was gonna be open at six am. So, I mean
(01:49):
we didn't even get price tax put on anything. And
that's how crazy it was and it was so busy
all day long. Did you get recognized? Oh yeah, I
mean selling some Christmas lights and one lady and her
husband came, what goes, Oh those are Christmas lights that
got you in trouble. Hun. I'm like oh yeah, and
she's like yeah, blah blah blah. She starts talking to
me about the show. I'm like here we go five
(02:10):
minutes talking about you know, life and just things like that.
She's like, maybe I should buy some of those Christmas
lights so I can have some of the lights got
you in trouble. Shud buy them. No, she didn't buy anything.
Oh oh nothing. So are you why people know where
you live now? Oh? They know where I live? I
mean yes, they know the people. I know that. I
saw people taking pictures. They didn't ask for pictures, but
they were snapping photos like of me standing there, like,
(02:32):
oh look, I got a picture of Lunchbox. Here's the
clip of Lunchbox talking to a potential customer. Yeah, don't
spread any rumors that were you know, we're bankrupt, we're
getting divorced. We're not getting divorce. We're not you know,
we're still paying the bills on time. Yeah, you know
what I'm saying. Some people to like, look, it's like,
oh man, I'm sorry, they're going on hard times. No, no,
we're not having hard times here. You know what I mean.
It's like we're doing okay, okay, just so don't feel
(02:54):
too bad for us. Okay, all right. I didn't hear
you sell one thing. You're just telling people how you're okay. Well,
she was going to some of the clothes and I
was just as she was going through it, I was
just like, hey, why not if you're trying to sell
me like we are going through hard times, would you
mind buying? Then she goes to TMZ and it's like, hey,
Lunchbox is going through hard time. She's a hundred. Did
you hear her? She was seventy six. Yeah, that's I'm saying.
(03:14):
One of TMZ she's gonna write a letter. I didn't
think about that, but yeah, I mean, I just I
was letting people know that my situation is not as
it appears. Here is Lunchbox talking to another customer. Some
people think, you know, you're having a garage shil because
you're broke, but we're not. We're not. We're not getting
kicked out of our house or anything. No, I'm not
saying we're not getting kicked out of our house or anything.
(03:34):
We're not. We're not, you know, broke. You know people
when they have too much stuff. Yeah, that's why I'm
doing it, thought, Yeah, yeah, okay, all right, I'm just
making sure you don't. Yeah, yeah, no, no, you know
what I mean. I was worried. I told my wife.
I was like, everybody's gonna think we're broke. You're doing
damage control of your own yards for no reason. Yeah, okay,
And here, finally, here, here's how much you made. Let
(03:55):
me tell you, I was so tired at the end
of the day. Finally the garage show wraps up. I
mean people stopped. It starts and dine around noon, and
we stayed out there until two o'clock, hoping, you know,
to get rid of the rest of the stuff. We
go in and we count the money, and let me
tell you, I didn't realize how much money we made.
I pulled out my pocket. I mean I had a
big old lot of money. You want to guess how
much we made? Three hundred bucks, one hundred dollars, Here
(04:18):
we go, here we go, money money. Monday, four hundred
seventy four dollars and I get seventy percent. You get
thirty percent. I did seventy percent of the work. I
did so much. Boy was I out there? Most of
(04:39):
them are out there? Okay, so you agree everything starting
to getting dirty in there stopped. Made four hundred bucks
and I made four hundred seventy four dollars. What do
you get? What does she get? I get senny percent?
Get No, No, I did seventy percent of the work. Guys,
like ninety percent of the time she was in the
house like I was out there like hustling, and oh
(05:03):
you know how much is that? That? Boom boom boom.
It was unbelievable how she was always the kids needed something. Okay,
but she's taking care of the kids. Why did you
do finger quotes over kids? Here's the thing. Three of them.
The kids didn't need anything like she was just in
there hanging out. Take care of kids. Listen, I'm glad
(05:25):
you made five hundred bucks. Awesome. Would you do another one? No?
They are so tiring. I mean I took a nap
after that. I was so tired. I put the kids
down three hour. Now you put the finger kids. I
put the kids now and I napped for three hours.
It was amazing. All right. So overall, you give this
whole situation a what letter grade? Probably a C plus.
I mean, the money was great. The hard work was
(05:45):
very exhausting. All the pressure on my shoulders being recognized,
it was very stressful. What are you gonna buy? I
don't know. You know, I'm probably think I'm gonna do
buy a plane ticket somewhere by yourself. That's like a
one way to get away from the quote unquote kids,
one get away from the kids. Yeah, I think I
need a vacation. All right. There, you have a good job,
lunch box, thank you. On the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Kevin,
(06:09):
I was watching some of this, uh this this docuseries
where you're road tripping, and I know that you also
like to be in your bus. Do you hate flying?
I just just like, would you hate flying or you
just like being on the ground. Man, I don't really
like airports because I hate flying. I'm scared of flying. Yeah,
you're scared of people. It sounds like, you know, I
don't like bad interactions and airports just like it's like
(06:33):
a recipe for bad interactions with people. You know, you
taught me a lesson in an airport once. It was
a couple of years ago, that's pre pandemic, and I
think we were sitting next to each other or near
each other on a flight and we had both been
stopped going through the airport. But you were you were
very efficient and very nice to people, and I'd be like, yeah,
let's take it. I would take like ten minutes, and
(06:55):
you're like, no, here's what you do. You go, yeah,
give me your phone, and you take the self before them,
and you give them their phone back, and everybody wins.
And so that's the move, because yeah, your lesson was
They're gonna be like, well, I can't get my camera
ride I can't. They say, you just take the phone
from them. You do it, You take the selfie because
you know exactly how to do it. Then you hand
their phone back. At true, everybody wins a lot faster,
(07:16):
and it looks good because you control it because you've
been doing it a million times. Yeah, right, you know
who did it the best? Who I saw do it?
And I was like, he's knocking this out of the park.
Edge Sheering. I was with Ed one night and things
were blowing up for him and I was like, man,
this guy's really good at this. Look at that angle
way to hold that phone steady, He's got it down.
(07:38):
I got it, got out the mole skin. I was
like dropping it down on pining paper. You know, I
remember this thirty degrees. I've passed your knowledge to multiple people. Yeah,
the same way I taught you, you you taught me, Gavin.
So it's going generationally at this point. It's like, you'll
save time. You have a bet, just say hey, yeah,
let's take a picture. Give me your phone boom, take
(07:59):
it all right, there we go on. I love it.
If you're not too heavily caffeinated, the pictures pretty good.
Otherwise it's a little shaky. Yeah, I'll forget about the
caffeine hits me hard, man, I'll drink and eight ball's
worth of it and I'll be I'll take the selfie
for it and it looks like an earthquake happen. Congrats
on the new record, man, thanks so good. You know
it was lucky enough to you send it over to me,
because you know, I'm just a fan of you musically anyway.
(08:20):
And I mean it's it's and we're gonna play something
from it just a little bit but also, and I'm
not sure if you know all who's been bragging about
the record, but I would be considered like a half toaster.
There's a there's a podcast called The Morning Toast and
they were they were bragging on it and playing it
to a pretty podcast, and I was like, I know
that guy. Thanks. Yeah, so I didn't do it. Mine's
right now, but there's already happened. I think, yeah too, man,
(08:43):
So the record is really great. So when this thing
comes out, well, I guess before it comes out, like,
how long do you work on an album like this?
And do you feel like musically, sonically this is I
don't want to see a change. It definitely feels a
little more in the lovely way like mature, Thank you
did this album? Did you feel that? Do you like
(09:04):
that appropriate way to describe it? I think that's spot on. Um.
You know, record came out on the twentieth of May,
and uh, you know, I've been holding it back, um
because I didn't know if it was the right time
to put it out for a long time. It's been
done for a long time. But you know, the world
was all upside down and my life, my personal life
(09:25):
was all upside down, um, and I wasn't. I wasn't
sure when when's the right time to put out new
music and um, when does it feel like the right time?
And also at the same time, how how am I
going to serve the songs to my fans? I didn't.
I didn't want to just launch this thing out, you know,
out of a cannon and hope people heard it. And
(09:47):
I wanted to kind of deliver it to them personally
and go out and play little rooms. Um. The tour
I just did. Um. I went out and I played
rooms that were the size of the rooms I played
before I ever had a record deal, like the Even
on launch, the actual release day of the record, we
played at the Bitter End, which is the first place
they ever gave me a gig in New York City.
(10:08):
You know, it holds one hundred and fifty people, two
hundred people. I just felt like being in those environments
was the right way to serve the songs to people
who've been with me for a long time. The audience
is basically what changed my life. So I wanted to
serve them the songs the way that I used to
serve songs before. I haven't had a record deal get
up on stage, talk about the music, talk about my
(10:29):
life and you know, here's a song about it, and
all these things happen, and then just make it run right, um,
make it ry? Yeah? Yeah, And uh, you know, making
this record it was heavily personal. You know, there's a
lot of loss in the family. And I lost my
mom and then two weeks later, my grandma died, and
then six months later, my granddad died, and then COVID happened,
(10:50):
and then my dad got diagnosed and he died, and
you know, I'm watching all that stuff happened around me.
But I wanted to finish the record while he was alive.
I wanted him to hear the record. It was my
that was my timeline. My timeline was finished it for
Dad right whenever, you know, hopefully before I lose him. So, uh,
it wasn't going to be a business as usual album.
(11:12):
That wasn't going to be Hey, let me write some
songs and I hope I get some hit songs and
just had nothing to do with that. It was just different. Um,
the world was different. I'm different, and for me to
go on and just do business as usual cutting records
just in hopes of man I hope it catches on.
It just wasn't going to It would be disingenuous. And
(11:34):
I can't ignore the things that happened to me, or
to them, or to every the world as a whole,
you know, and just launch a record and and hey,
this is so people dance. That's it's not how I feel.
You know. The world changed and and I changed with it.
I'm forty five years old, I'm a grown man. For
me to go out and just trying to, you know,
(11:55):
do my happy dance would just be silly. And I
was listening to it again. I'd it's some time with
it when you sent it to me, and then I
was listen to it again and the track that hit
me always every time was Chasing Win. I'm gonna rape.
You'll play some of this. Here's some of Gavin song
Chasing Win. You know what's interesting too, as Dave co
(12:24):
produced this right and Dave Calls worked with a lot
of our favorite artists here intown. He's he's a genius.
I took a meeting, uh well, he took him eating
with me, which I didn't expect because you know who
am I and um? I met him in midtown here
and Um, we did lunch. It was he and I
and I was expecting some old geezer to walk through
the door because I heard his name so many times,
you know, and he had so many hit records. But
(12:46):
he walked in. He had cooler hair than me, and
he was cooler than me, and uh, probably younger than me. Um.
He said, what do you want to do? And I said,
I need to get all this stuff out of my body.
And I don't want to co write with anybody. I
want to go back to writing alone like it did
with the first few records. Um. But I think you're
(13:07):
the best producer in the world for kind of record
I want to make. Um And he said, with some
explet is, let's do it, you know. And a couple
weeks later we were in the room and um, you know,
he brought in some ace players and I brought in
the best guitar player. I know this guy right here,
Billy Norris and uh and uh and we just started
(13:29):
recording and um, and I think that Dave's influence over
the record as a whole was something that took took
it to to heights I couldn't have I couldn't have
seen and um my My vision for it was more
linear than his. UM. His vision was much bigger than mine. UM,
and he really challenged me in the studio, which I
really appreciated. I think we all worked better under pressure anyway,
(13:52):
you know. I think everybody needs to have somebody kind
of putting a thumb on him and uh and challenging him.
And I think what he did, uh and what he
demanded made the album a whole lot better than than
I ever could. Gavina Grows here got a new album,
Faced the River. We're gonna play forward in just a
few minutes. But when I think about, you know, somebody
just says your name, that that check that melody of Chariot, Yeah,
(14:15):
just sits in like the on the back when it's like, hey,
you know listening to Gavina Grows and immediately lit chair
that that just that melody. I'm assuming when you when
you play, you play all? Do you play all the
hits like your shows? Yeah? Pretty much absolutely. You know,
I'm walkers play a little bit of Chariot just to
get that that that bug out of my ear. Oh
absolutely won't play just play the hook. Sure that's part
you know, Yeah, it's part I think I know more.
(14:37):
That's part of this. Yeah, all right, here to get
three four chearing you walk down check, I'm singing out
(15:00):
God give me rang nice. All right, I'm good. That
worm is gone. You know sometimes you gotta feed the
worm and the worm's full and the worm goes away.
I like it. I know you're gonna read tune now right?
Do you need a second? A second? Cool? Can we
(15:21):
keep talking? Yeah? Okay? Cool? Cool? Cool. So Chariot was
one of your first singles. I played it on radio
as wow. It was one of the early ones, right,
very early, Yeah, two thousand and five six back in
somewhere and there. It was a funny little group of song.
The timeline is really weird because the first song I
ever released, um, I don't want to say it didn't
(15:42):
do anything, but it didn't do anything. It was called
follow Through. And then I got lucky with a song
called I Don't Want to Be And then Clive Davis
loved the song follow Through so much he goes no
rereleasing follow Through, so he wanted to launch it again,
and that time, for whatever reason, it was a it.
And then the next one was Chariot, and so it
(16:03):
was in that first little little group. Yeah, but I'll
be around it till five or six. Everything's just flying
so fast. Then, I'm assuming at that stage of your career.
You know, It's funny. I was always um afraid to
acknowledge any successes that were happening. Um. I was almost
too busy to notice them. But as they were occurring,
I was so afraid that they were going to disappear
(16:26):
if I picked my head up to look in the
rear view mirror and go, well, cool, look look what
just happened, you know, Um, and I and I was
you know, I don't know. It's a personality type thing. Man,
I'm always waiting for the other shooter drop. Yeah. Yeah,
so so you know, even when big things were happening,
I just thought it was, oh, we have to do this.
(16:47):
We're doing this. It's great, we're doing this. But we're
doing this. I guess we're doing this because we have
to do this because nothing's working yet, you know what
I mean. And I don't know why. It's a personality
type thing. But you know, you get on, you're lucky
enough to come on, it will show like this me
and go, this is great, this is awesome. We definitely
have to do this. Nothing must be working right. It's
(17:10):
a little annoying is happening, and by a little lot
of rosis because I live no data back, no dat
about it. It's it's fear and uh and it's you know,
it's fear of failure, and it's fear of hey man,
did I make all the wrong decisions? And you know
I joke about it with with with friends of mine
that you always feel like I'm I'm one one more
(17:31):
bad decision away from just playing the lobbyist some hotel
in the middle of somewhere, you know, and uh, you
know that guy you know and uh, you're just you
just you don't have complete control of things. You know,
you mentioned you got lucky with I don't want to
be Yeah again, I was in pop radio at that point.
I don't know it from One Tree Hill have to
(17:53):
show it's on, Yeah, I don't know it from that.
I'll just know it from being played on the radio.
So which is this isn't checking her egg? Here? Was
it a single? And then it got big and the
TV show put it on, or did the TV show?
And then it went from there. Man, you know, it's
funny with that song because I thought that was the
obvious first single. My brother was screaming up all the
(18:16):
time at me, you know, in our apartment in New York.
He's like, that's a single. What's wrong with people? You know,
like they need to put that out first? But follow
Through is the one. And I got a phone call
from a guy. The song hadn't been selected to be
a single yet, and I got a phone call from
a guy named Joe de Vola, and Joe de Vola said, Hey,
(18:38):
I want to use your song for a TV show.
I said, Nah, absolutely not. I don't even watch TV.
TV stupid, you know, and it's just you know, it's
New York, you know, East Village Art, you know snob
at the time, you know, it was kicking around Alphabet
City and you know, twenty years ago, right. So I said, nah,
(19:01):
I don't even watch TV. Who watches TV? And I
don't want to be associated with it. He goes, listen,
you gotta help me, help you. The song I think
would be a big song and I want to put
it in a show. I said, na, na, and I
really appreciate it. You sound like a nice guy, but no, thanks.
He goes, Okay, let me ask you another question. How
much money you got in your bank account right now?
(19:22):
And I was like, bro, he starts laughing, and he goes, listen,
think about it. We're not going to touch the song.
We're just gonna put it in a place where people
are gonna hear it, you know. And that show wasn't
on yet, right, I wasn't even on yet, right, Yeah.
And I followed through. Apparently had been picked up and
(19:44):
put in another show that was in pilot, in pilot
mode that never got actually never became bigger. I think
Val Kilmers and was about the porn industry. Followed through.
I don't know, but anyway, but yeah, I said, you
know what, all right, this guy is right. Guys like
me aren't going to be watching this stuff anyway and
associate it with certain things. I'm not going to associate
(20:06):
it with a teen show. I'm not a teenager, you know.
I was twenty seven at the time, and I was
an adult. But I said, all right, do it, you know, man,
just do whatever you want with it. I appreciate it,
and you know what, just do it, Just do it.
And sure enough that the song took off. And then
I walked into the label and I had a meeting
with Clive Davis, and he said, with everything happening around
(20:31):
this show, the show, but the song you've heard Clive talk,
the obvious next single would be I Don't Want to
Be And I was like, all right, great, this is awesome.
You know, so the song I originally wanted it is
finally going to be the single and it did it.
It took off, and you know, fortunately that was a
foot in the door in the door moment. You know,
(20:53):
does that I don't know. Obviously it got you to
the place that you originally wanted, meaning it's kind of
a weird that happened. For sure, you wanted it. They
said no, you didn't want it to be on the
TV show. Then you finally said yes, which got it
back around where you wanted it. Yeah. So but do
you look back at it being on the TV show
and go, I wish I wouldn't have done it, or
I wish I would have done or are you just
(21:14):
like you know what nailed it? It had to happen.
The looking back things always tough because I think if
I would have made a different decision, I'd be looking
back right now thinking I should have changed something else
that you know, based on wherever I was at that
at that point, right as they say no h they say,
(21:35):
no battle plan ever survives combat. Right, So so and
you know, of course, no matter what changes I would
have made back then, there'd be some other something else
I'd have to look back on now it's I should
alter this, I should have altered that. But I think
the association, certainly at first, was a great idea. It
opened doors that were absolutely well did shut to me
(22:00):
because there were other artists who are always going to
have priority at other labels. You know, I wasn't I
wasn't UM, I wasn't Alicia Keys. You know, she was out,
you know, a little bit before me, but under the
same same company. I wasn't Maroon five. They were out
just before me, with the same group of people doing
the same marketing. So there there were already a couple
(22:23):
of acts here that we're going to get the most attention.
And I needed to find I had to find a
window to crawl through, um and that's that was the window.
So then let me ask you this way. When people go, hey,
I know you from one tree Hill, that's right, right, Sure,
when people go I know you from one tree Hill,
you're like Oh no, I say that's awesome because you know,
(22:48):
that's cool, okay, because however you found me. You know
the fact that you know, twenty years later, someone's coming
out to me saying they know me from a team show,
but they're still coming to my show. That means somehow
the music is making them feel good still, right, And
if they're only coming for that one song, hey, god
(23:08):
bless them. If they want to sit through two hours
of music, you know, for me to get at the
end of the night, you know, then cool. You know,
there was a speaking of which I think every artist
probably goes through this the first probably on their first
their first successful song. Oh you're gonna love this, okay.
(23:31):
So because I was having little success with that song
early on, and the song took off. Here it's a
big hit, blah blah blah whatever, people start coming to
your gigs. So then you know, for about you know,
for about six months, you start feeling pretty good. You're like,
this is pretty cool, this is I'm having some success.
You know. Sadly, you feel like you're a little bigger, stronger,
(23:53):
you know, everything's bigger on your body, right, so to speak.
And so I thought, but let's play the hit early tonight.
You know, let's do it like third. Everybody's gone by
the fourth songs. You can't do that. You know, everybody
who's left there is watching you just bored to death
(24:16):
because they already heard what they came. There was there
was like two or three gigs. I was like, I
know what I gotta do. I gotta play this one again.
That's fun going to play it again, you know. And
uh so those are growing pains, those are those are
real learning experiences, I think, And uh this stuff you
(24:37):
gotta be able to laugh at afterward. Because every act,
every act that's had a big hit, I know they
know what I'm talking about. Whether whether they decided I'm
going to try it out play the hit early or not,
I don't know if they've all done that, but I
know that they know the crowd is really coming for
the hits. Do you you gotta play them, but you
(24:57):
gotta you gotta pick, pick and choose your moments. You
did you ever have a stage where he disliked playing it?
He played it so much. No, I've never not ever.
Thank god. It's about to get real awkward. No, no, no, literally,
but you know it's funny because I do know acts
who talk about, oh, I don't want to please my hits.
(25:19):
I don't want to do those anymore. And and I
think to myself, does it how lucky they are right
now that they get to do this. You know you
got to pull them aside. But hey, listen, I know
you know you've been doing this song every day since
you wrote this song. But must I remind you you
(25:39):
have one of the only jobs in the world that
when you get the clock out, people clap for you
and tell you what a good job you did. You know,
name another one, you know, name another job you could
think of that at the end of your workday, people go,
great job, that was amazing tonight. You know you don't
get that. Nobody gets that. You know, get up there
(26:00):
and give them what they came for. You're so blessed
to be able to do that. Or you you you're
you have forgotten how how tough real life really is.
If you don't want to do a song for three
and a half minutes for people who saved up three
and a half months to drive three and a half
(26:21):
hours to watch you sing that song, well, okay, Gavin
Degrass here and he's looking at me when he said that. Sorry, man,
crazy that you would you would want that, So listen
as a fan, I'm glad that you feel that way,
right And and with that being said, yeah, don't play
the whole thing, just give me that doesn't give me
(26:42):
the hook of that. I don't want to have him
yell at me. I don't want to just give me
the hook. And we'll call out a day on that one.
All right, here's Gavin de Girl hit me with that
hook of I don't want to be. Yeah, I don't
want to be anything. Damn what I've been trying to
be laid leg I have to dude singing me and
(27:07):
my piece of mind. I'm tired of looking around wanting
what I gotta do. I'm supposed to be. I don't
want to be anything other than me. That's awesome. Let's
get to the new stuff now. That's what we all
came for. So we drove three and half hours. I
(27:28):
don't want to yell a me again. I was thinking
about leaving. Yeah, yeah, you leave after that, everybody studio.
So the song that I'd like for you you to play,
if that's cool, ast forward, it's from the new record.
Would you give me a little set up on this
(27:48):
and you wrote it and oh forarded it. So what
led you to actually do both? Uh? Well, this song
is about sort of recognizing that you've been uh caught
up on the hamster wheel of life, and you know,
you have that revelation one day of you know, my
(28:10):
stuff owns me. I don't own my stuff? But why
why am I doing all this other work? Or am
I why am I picking up this these o'ts? Why
am I doing these other things to pay for things
that I'm not even getting to enjoy because I'm spending
all my time just paying for him, you know. Um.
(28:31):
And you're seeking advice, so you know, I think if
you're gonna get advice, hopefully you get it from somebody
that you love, somebody uh uh who's smarter than you
and and who's older than you, um, because they're gonna
give you better advice. So this is this is uh,
the song's a conversation, uh about somebody looking for advice
(28:56):
asking some old dude, you know, what what do I do?
All right? Here's Gavin DeGraw. This is from the new
record Face the River, and here is Ford Try and
tire of them, Try Still. I've been climbed in. Oh
(29:18):
why can't he the top? Old man? Can't you help
me understand why I'm on this planet? Do you know
when to stop working for a dollar? Oh? That's telling
making man feel broke working for a dollar, that's the
(29:44):
only thing. Nine old just striving old ford, complex things
and pray the Lord have. Let's make it feel like more.
Leave work the front door, work caught and you get paid.
Don't give them your best days on the so meant
(30:07):
you left, saved some of them up for the ones
worth saving them for. Lat hl da da da da
lo ra da l da da da da. Yeah, Lata
(30:29):
l da da da da l da da da da
dat da da da da da da da. Yeah, it's
so good. Got kill him. That's awesome, sounds good, the
message is good, You're good. Everything that's great. Don't don't
yell him anymore. It's awesome. I was amazing. That's really great.
(30:51):
The records, thank you, it's great to the record is
an album that I would listen to if I wasn't
working in music and had to listen to music for living, right,
I mean that that's the music. I like this. This
whole record is that and wow, I encourage people to
check it out. It's been not a few weeks called
Face the River. So many good songs, and listen the
feeling that you guys probably got by hearing that song
(31:12):
and that message. Those feelings are sprinkled all throughout the
record for different reasons, Yes, sir, Because I mean, you
sing that song there and it's like, may I should
re evaluate my life and quit this job and walk
off the air right now and so and go and
spend time with my wife and wait through this place. Yeah,
but you know that's the kind of thing. It is
like I'm spending too much time doing dumb crap and
that same kind of oh, like punching the gut in
(31:34):
a good ways all through the record. So great, great jobs,
a heck of a project. I appreciate it. I hate
that so much crap had to happen for you to
create this project, but I'm glad that you did it
because I feel like, hopefully it was therapeutic for you,
very very I appreciate that, man. Yeah, I appreciate that
it's been. Um, it was therapeutic writing it, and it's
(31:55):
it's therapeutic recording and therapeutic playing it every night and
it's been UM, it's been emotional playing it every night. UM.
Some nights are harder than others, you know. UM. But
but I feel like it's a message that I need
to get out UM. And I think it's something really
(32:16):
other people are relating to. And you know, when you
lose people, you become part of this fraternity or this
club that you never really wanted to be a member of. UM.
But we're we're all members of it UM or were
gonna be. And and I just think you have to uh,
take it head on. You know. My father always told
(32:38):
me run to the lion, and and I think you
just have to take you just have to take everything
head on. Everything you're worried about, everything that's scaring you,
everything you're that's you, that you were putting off. There
has to be a moment where you turn and you
go to it, UM. And and I just needed to
go to it. You did. It's it's again beautiful art, circumstances,
(33:00):
beautiful art. And just don't stop doing it, you know, man,
don't stop doing it. Gavin Degrass here, you guys check
out the record. It's Faced the River The there's a
six part docuseries on Facebook yeah, you guys did about
road tripping as you're making like the creative ish process. Well,
it was after the uh, after the record was made,
(33:23):
I got to go out and do do another road
trip because I like road trip. And you know what
I said, I lying, I said, I don't like being
in the air. I wish I could fly on the ground.
That makes sense. That's the move. That's that's that. That's
the move. Can I fly on the ground. We're supposed
to see the world from about five to six feet
above the ground, right where our head is, right where
(33:43):
our feet. That's yes, you guys check that out in
and that's gonna be it for now. UM. My absolute
favorite song of yours is not over you. Wow you
still like that one? Or no? Of course? Yeah, I
love it. I wrote that with Ryan Tedter. I did
not know. Yeah, I wrote with Ryan Teter and the
spark of it. One Republic guy, One Republic Yeah, super
(34:05):
just a wonderful UH pop songwriter, specifically, just a genius
at pop and we um he first played me that riff,
the piano riff up top that. Um then come on
right then? I think we were in um Blackbird Studios
(34:27):
in here Nashville. He goes, yo, man, when we think
of this piano, I was like, us, it's okay. I
guess he was like, yeah, I think this would be
great for your entry. That's where I have to go
to see your beautiful fit sending more stared at a picture,
(34:52):
rub and listen to the radio pop pop. There's a
conversation booting. We had it good until then. It's daily nation.
I know that munch is understood and now read a lot.
If you ask me how I'll do it, I would
(35:15):
say I'm doing is fine. I will light say that
you not on my mind. But I go out and
I sit down at a table, settle you and finding it.
I'm forced to face it. No matter what I see.
(35:40):
I'm not over you, not over you. That's awesome, man,
I appreciate that. Thanks for walking us through that. That's it,
Gavin de Girl. You guys follow him. Listen to the
record over and over again. Face the river. You will
find your own story inside of it. He created music.
(36:00):
It doesn't have to be the exact same story that
you're living. I find song a lot of times. It
speak to me in different ways, and it was originally
written and it speaks to me the same way that
they was supposed to speak to me. So great, great
body of work. Gavin DeGraw, Thanks, appreciate you guys. Thank you.
Man there he is, Thanks a lot, guys. The latest
from Nashville. In Tullywood, Morgan number two thirty six Skinny
(36:25):
Soby Keith revealed that he was diagnosed with stomach cancer
last fall. He's spent the last six months receiving humot
radiation and surgery. Right now he's taking time to breathe, recover,
and relax. Lany Wilson will be in season five of
yellow Stone. She's playing a character named Abby who is
a musician. The new season has already started filming in Montana.
(36:45):
Zach Brown Band is releasing a deluxe version of their
album The Comeback. It will feature Blake Shelton on their
song Out in the Middle. The deluxe album is set
to come out this fall. I'm Morgan, that's your skinny Hall.
It's time for the good news, Bobby all right. So
she works at a lottery counter and a guy comes
(37:05):
up and goes, all right, I want to buy some tickets.
He says, I want to pick, and he picked his
first two numbers and then he said, hey, you that
works the counter. Why don't you pick your favorite two numbers?
So she did that, and boom he hit. And so
he hit for a thousands of bucks and then gave
her two thousand bucks as a tip for picking those numbers.
It wasn't like a million dollars jack quot or anything.
But he definitely didn't have to give her a two
(37:27):
thousand dollars tip. Pecky could have just left. She'd never known, right, Yeah,
but if she had to pick those two numbers and
he wouldn't want, I agree. I'm not on the side
of don't give money. I'm just saying he had every
opportunity to not do it, yet he still did, which
is pretty awesome. Which I have a feeling that some
of us in the room would have done this. Let's
be honest, you win twenty thousand dollars. Totally would pay
(37:48):
her if she gave you two of the numbers. Yeah,
do you give a couple of thousand? Yeah? Or maybe
even half? Whoa half? If you give half and you're
not getting half taxes taken out, but after taxes she
gets half. Okay, Oh my god, you're crazy. Why not crazy?
I don't know. That I would do. I don't know
that I would do half because she didn't put her
money up. She just do a couple numbers at me.
But I would definitely break her off a couple thousand
(38:09):
bucks for sure. Okay I didn't think about putting the
money up, but okay, yeah, Eddie, yeah, break off one
one thousand for each number she gave me. Would you
really are you just saying you wouldn't do Why not?
Bones thousands a lot of money, but you're not gonna
get twenty. You're gonna get like thirteen thirteen thousands, she
gets two, I get eleven. We all win. Great. I
have a feeling you wouldn't do that, though, Yeah, lunch bucks,
(38:29):
no chance. I would give her a thank you card
and maybe we can take a picture together. I'd be like,
what a great story. We could be on the news.
But she's not getting any of my money. She just
does it. She just threw out two random numbers as
she's working the counter. She didn't put up any of
her Well that without her, though, he wouldn't have won
without me. I wouldn't wonder because she would. I love
the ticket and I'm not gonna see her and trying
to make myself look good. Eddie, Well, Eddie, look at
me in the eyes. I shall be honest. Let's say
(38:51):
that because of her, she gives you a couple numbers
and you have thirteen thousand dollars? Yes, do you give
her two thousand? Two thousand? Max? Do you remember we
were playing bingo and whole someone, Hey, we win? I
split it with you? What did I do? I split
it with him? Yeah, but that was like three hundred bucks.
Well still, that's okay, and you'd already wanted that night.
I take back the fact that I said, Dad, thank you.
I have a feeling in real life situation you wouldn't
(39:12):
do it. But if you say so, I agree, Hey,
just give me that chance, give me that chance to
show you. All right, So shout out to Shirley Rose
who picked out the numbers, and the anonymous guy who
won thousands of dollars and heck three out of the
four of us for being good people? Are you good? Hypothetical?
You know what it's hypothetical? I give all of it. Okay, Yeah,
let's see what a great custom any thing to hypothetically
(39:34):
give her all the money? All right, that's what it's
all about. That was tell me something good. I feel
like you want to show me a picture of something
I saw Amy grab her phone as we're going to segment.
What what's on your phone? Well, I don't know if
you want to see it. But my son now thinks
it's hilarious to text me pictures from his bathroom experience.
(39:55):
What do you mean like when he goes to the
bathroom bathroom number two, he takes a picture result and
then he Oh my gosh, I don't want to see that.
Why don't text that to you? You don't know? No,
I thought this is just the whole boy humor thing
for medical reasons. Yeah, he's like Mom, I think he
should or he's proud of himself. Oh no, no, can
(40:15):
you tell him to stop? Yes? And now he thinks
it's so funny and oh oh can't stop old stuff.
Oh no, I never opened a text from him. It
could be like I haven't eaten in days, and I
wouldn't look at it because I wouldn't want to see that.
Don't to me, No, no, no, no, I don't want
to say, oh dude, what do you tell him? Please stop?
This is not or don't send these to anybody else?
(40:36):
But Mom, no, no, no, please stop, well yes, no, no, yeah,
no pictures. It's like a jeans jaga board in the seventies.
No pictures, no pictures. Yeah, I don't know. I just
hope he's not texting him out to anybody. Have his
own phone. He has an iPad. He's taking a picture
of an he's having to get all cinematic. That thinks huge.
(40:56):
Oh no he doesn't have a phone. Oh no, he
can text me through his I've had account. Oh that's
what he's been up to, like an email a week.
What else he up to? Well, he had a friend
over and they got locked out. So that was quite
the experience. I get. I wasn't home. The friend has
a phone, so text me and was like, hey, I
(41:18):
was just down the street at the grocery store and
I was going to be back. And he's like, somehow
we've managed to get locked out. And I said, okay,
well I'll be home soon, so just play basketball or
do something outside and I'll be there. And I get
back and Stevenson's very dramatic and is already spelling out
sos with sticks and rocks in our driveway for people
flying over the door, and what's funny is he just
(41:41):
learned what SOT met a week ago, and so I
actually thought it was quite clever and cute. But he
was just very dramatic. When I pulled up, we have
been locked out for hours. It had been no more
than thirty minutes, that's for sure. And he was spelling
out sos, which, by the ways, means nothing. Oh, it
means nothing. Ours it. It's what people have inserted the
(42:04):
meeting meaning to him, But it means nothing. It's made
of just those specific sounds and the letters looking like
a distress signal. Not save our souls, that's another one.
Save our sushi, our sisters can mean any of that. Hell, listen,
you guys come up with a lot of ideas for
the show, and some of them get used, and that
(42:26):
one was very appreciative. But some of them are so
just we'd never do them, and I appreciate the effort.
But that's how we get this segment called rejected segments.
Rejected segments. Although some of these are so dumb. I
don't think you guys even really wanted me to air it.
I think you're just filling out space, like some ideas.
So these are rejected segments segments that in a million
(42:47):
years we would have never done on the air. There
have been times, though, where I've been like, wow, that's
actually a pretty good segment. Let's do it. So let's
see if any of those do this. We'll start with Lunchbox. Lunchbox, welcome,
thank you, and I don't know why any of my
segments get rejected. I'm shocked when they don't make it.
Lunchbox wrote, I am supper annoyed with my wife Supper,
which I think he meant super That spelling is not
(43:09):
my strong point. Care that much, he said. I think
my wife's faking a back injury so she can just
lay around all weekend, turn me into a single dad.
I don't think she was hurt. Listen to these grunts
and moans I've recorded of her and tell me that
she isn't exaggerating it. Okay, guys ready like this are
getting up off the couch, in the car, out of bed.
I mean, it is so ridiculous. Here we go. Okay,
(43:36):
I'm calling it. She's not hurt. Come on, like that's exaggerated? Right? No,
did she know you were recording her? No, ba Bean
is real. I'd be so mad if my husband brought in.
I mean like, I mean literally, so for three days
(43:56):
I had to do everything with all three kids, like
she just they're on the couch like, oh can't get
up all like the kids crying. Oh, you're gonna have
to get that like what rejected segment. Rejected segment. That's
like that, you guys, stop talking about it. I just yell.
Next up, Mike Dson In Paintball Roulette, we get five
different paintball guns, but only one is loaded. Bobby, Amy, Eddie, Lunchbox,
(44:20):
and Morgan get a chance to select a gun and
we take turns shooting each other. The game stops once
one person quits or goes to the hospital. Oh my gosh,
brutal bit I've been hit. That's like some squid Games
stuff right there. Talking about rejected segments, also from Mike
d It's a spin off of one of other segments
(44:41):
where we do the employee of the month, but instead
we recognize the person who is the worst employee of
the man because person needs to show the most improvement,
and we list all the things they did badly last month.
That's hilarious money worst That just would not be good
for morale. Rejected segments Morgan number two, and this one
actually wasn't so bad. I just I guess it didn't
(45:04):
get to it. But you've been in three different workout
classes where the same guy keeps live streaming the workouts. Yeah,
I'm like in the background of all of his live
streams and I'm just working out. I didn't figure it
out until all the way through a full workout class
and I walk over and there's people like commenting on
what we're doing. Is he a person in the class
or teaching the class? No, he's a person in the class. Oh,
he's just in the class. Yeah, that's so weird. He's
(45:26):
live streaming himself, yes, so that others can work out
with him. I don't know. But then the rest of
us are in the background of it, and we don't
know that strangers are commenting on what we're doing while
working out. Yeah. Usually just sign it consent if we're
a if you're a teacher, I get it, Like, Hey,
we're gonna live stream the class to people who can't
get up here. Yeah, just somebody random, Yeah, just setting
up on the side, like watching him go at it.
Oh that doesn't sound listen. I even watched him do
(45:49):
ab crunches with his body like, you know, his legs
towards the camera. It was not a pretty goal. Is
this like a thing like a acted segments? Lunchbox back
in the mix here, Hello, Lunchbox is mad at Sports
Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Oh boy, because they're not putting on models.
(46:09):
He doesn't know. Yeah, they put Kim Kardashian on the
cover of the Swimsuit issue and I'm like, we already
know Kim Kardashian. Give another model a break. And also,
that's how we discover new models. That's how we what
do you what do you need models for? I mean,
that's how they get their big break and we get
to see a new hotty instead of oh Kim kay,
we already see Kim kana bikini all the time. They
should rejected segments. Frustrating. Okay, Raimundo saw on TikTok how
(46:38):
he can remove excess skin from his eye for twenty
dollars and let's know if he should try it on
the air. Yes, tell us how Yeah, I've had these
stighs on my eyelids. They run in my family, and
my grandpa had on, my father has them, and my
wife in a noise, or it's right on my eye,
it's been there rejected segments twenty dollars or yes, he's
gonna lose an eye. He's gonna tell us and somebody's
gonna do it, but he could do it on air. Yeah, reject.
(47:02):
I got one left. This one is from lunchbox. He
wanted to spill the tea on shady Scuba Steve because
he saw a shady deal in the parking lot and
he doesn't think what Scooba is doing is legal. Yes,
there was a car that pulled into the garage. Scuba
went out there, looked at his left right, stuck his
hand in the car. Person handed him like a brown
(47:24):
paper bag, wrapped up. Kooba went put it in his
truck like no one was watching. I was like, that
doesn't seem very normal to ask you a question. It
wasn't like an Amazon delivery. It was a can't cash
for something like how did this go down? Let me
just run this by it? Yeah, you like Scooba, Steve. Yeah,
let's say he was doing a drug deal, which I
don't think it was. I don't know what he was doing,
all right, but let's say it was. Would you really
(47:45):
want to come in here and tell on him for
doing that. I mean, if it's going down to work,
like do that at your house, man, don't bring that
business to my work. It was me at Jeopardy doesn't
But what was it really? I don't Goooba, Steve, I
don't know, I don't. It wasn't a drug deal, so
I don't mind asking him this. Yeah, yeah, no problem
was it drug deal? It was not actually the thing
you're speaking into right now, that red microphone that I
got you for Christmas. It was that. Oh they got
(48:06):
brought dropped it off and I was trying to be
secret about it because it was a surprise. Oh oh
that's it. So how do you feel, Lunchbox? I feel good.
I'm glad. It was not breaking the law. It just
seemed weird than you're gonna just tell them it was.
The car was all tinted windows, and it was just
seeing every car almost it had a radio, just seeing
(48:30):
really shady. Okay, well those are all rejected segments. Amy
didn't make the least good job. Oh but I don't know.
It's kind of fun hearing them. Okay, here here's bat
room for you. A woman trusted Amy with her purse
in the bathroom. Whoa, oh yeah, that's a big dude.
That's weird, not crazy. So she was in the stall
next to me, and her like toddler son was in
(48:50):
there with her, and he kept throwing stuff out of
her purse into the other stalls. And so when I
got out and washing my hand, she scooted it under
and she was like, can you wash this for me?
And I'm like, this woman does not know me. But
I gathered everything and put it up on the sync
and waited for her to come out. You look trustworthy.
She couldn't see me through the stall. But why was
(49:13):
that rejected? Because she wasn't talking about it. Well, I
wasn't going to And you're like, whoa, why had that?
I'm here? Well okay, but I just thought, wow, this
woman trusts me because I could have just walked out
with her personal problem. That's rejected segments. Thank you everybody.
Please rejected segments. Keep them coming Over to the voicemail
line to a Maya who is ten years old. I
(49:35):
had a question for you. Why am the one? Have
you not watch lying kids? That kind of makes me mad.
Have a good day. You are nine? Oh she got
in trouble at end of the call. That's funny. And
her mom yelled year nine, so she may lied about
me in ten. That's funny. I think that's that. I've
never seen Lion King. I don't watch Disney movies as
a kid, so as I got older, I didn't watch
(49:57):
Disney movies as I got older. And I don't have
kids yet. I have it, I'm sure I will, but
I've never seen Lion King. I know the story. What's
the story? Lion walks into the jungle? Bartender's like, how
many willabee? Yeah? You nailed it. Yeah, that's it. Plans
like r Bartela, we don't serve that here? Right? Yeah?
Then he is Crown King. Cool, here we go. This
is Ashley from Raleigh, North Carolina. I have a morning
(50:20):
corny for Amy. What does a cat order from a
Mexican restaurant? Pariso? Also for Eddie? All right by Amy
for the cat, Eddie for the Mexican stop. Thank You's
Amy's pile of stories and a new poll, eighty three
percent of people say they keep it a secret if
(50:41):
they won a lottery. Jack Pott. I think they say that,
but there's no way you can keep that a secret
if you win five million dollars and more. What's a secret? Krish,
you got a new boat out there? Yeah? That's hey,
hey Krish, you got a new truck. Just keeping a
(51:01):
secret and saying nothing. I wonder if there's some people
that try to keep it a secret from like everybody
in their life, like even their partner, spouse. No, I
don't think you can pull that off. No, that would
be tough. Hey, Chris, my husband, you got a new boat.
It makes you think these The other headline I saw
this morning about a husband that was mad at his
wife for keeping a get out secret get out fund
of thirty k she built it up over fifteen years. Yes,
(51:22):
I don't. I don't hate interesting. You don't hate a
secret get out fund. No, as long as the secret
nobody's ever heard, and then you're always prepared. I did
see in this lottery article, though, that only four percent
would share their money with co workers. Yeah, I mean,
it's not your family, I know, But why would I
share money with it just randomly with co worker? That
would be weird. But if you won the five hundred
(51:45):
million dollar one, you wouln't cut us all at it.
This is not about me and us. This is about
people and their co workers. Most people don't spend every
day for fifteen years with their co workers that are
only their co workers because they were friends first and
brought them on. Gotcha. Okay, so I would think most
over like, I give them my coat, keep it go
over there, crop, But there's no way eighty four percent
of people can keep that secret. And the dollar amount
for people to quit their jobs four million. That's what
(52:07):
they need to win. If I want a hundred, I
wouldn't quit my job. That's how I know I'm doing
the thing that you supposed to be doing. Well. Yeah,
so this is not an AD, but I saw Sonic
put out a summer snacking venu and there's something on
there that I was like, well, this seems interesting and
I want to try. And it's called tat chos. Yes. Yeah,
by the way, not an ad. Are studios covered in
(52:28):
Sonic stuff I just saw? Okay, part of it is
not partly paid Sonic sponsorship. Yeah. I just was like, oh, tatchos.
Try those. But here's the deal. You can only order
tat chows if you have the Sonic app. And by
the way, on the app drinks half price. But this
is not a map. I mean you use Sony more
(52:51):
than anything else that's on a app. All right, what else? Well, Bobby,
if you're ever in a coma for some reason, I
have some songs that have woken people up. Yeah, you
got Living on a Prayer bon Jovie. Maybe you're you're
hearing the song as you're in a coma. You're like prayer,
living on a prayer? Are you just say a little prayer?
(53:12):
Boom you wake up? Oh see? Yeah? Wow? The words?
What about unchained Melody, the Righteous Brothers, this wocal woman up? No,
I'd be like, oh, this makes me sleepy. I'm gonna
standing stand a coma for a little bit. James Blunt,
you're beautiful, Yeah, beautiful. I think kill myself. I kept
hearing this over and over again. Yeah you don't like
(53:33):
this one. I do like it, but I've started so
many times. So I'd be like, this would have made
me come back to earth, and then adel I'd run
toward the lights. For this particular girl, doctors were like, God,
I don't think she's ever gonna wake up, and then
walla rolling in the d I think everybody has their
own come out of coma taste, right, Yeah, I can
(53:55):
just imagine. Now I'm in a coma and beep beep.
It's quiet, yes, beep beep, And Eddie walks in with
a boombox ninety style above my head. Well, sure, on
your shoulder, on your head, lays it on the foot
of the bed. Beep beep. He says, hey man, it's
me Eddie. I want to play you a song. Okay,
And then I'm like, I still let me beep and
(54:16):
then Eddie hits play. He hits uh the tape player
to click, think, don't don't. That's great. It starts with
the nerd. Wait, these moving guys. Play guys. Get a
doctor in here. He's moving. What happened? What? What? What yourself?
You're wrong? Eddie's at you. I'm gonna turn it up
(54:39):
a little bit, Eddie, are you still bad at golf?
What year is it? Yeah, it's still I'm okay. Then
I'm up. It's the end of the world, staying right
into it. That's it. You guys know what song to play? Remember?
How long? Clatter? Stay on the beeper? What? How long
do you remember? Don't ever kill me? All right? That's
(55:01):
maybe that's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news. There's a couple, Chelsea
Mueller and Jeff Bradley. They planned to get married back
in twenty twenty, but then COVID happened and totally messed
(55:21):
up all of their wedding plans. Still haven't had that
wedding yet. While they had a planned for later this summer,
she's pregnant with child. That something they definitely wanted to
do before they had children was get married. Well, she
went into early labor. It was given birth at the hospital.
So what did the hospital staff do? Planned a wedding
at the hospital. So they had this hospital classroom that
(55:42):
they turned into a chapel. The hospital chaplain married them
the cafeteria, put together a wedding cake and sparkling cider
and send it on up and they had like a
full on wedding. So that way they could a lot
of money. So the baby's gonna share a birthday with
the anniversary. Yeah, if it all happened on the same
(56:02):
figure it out, it's interesting maybe the Yeah, that's when
it all click around the same time. Yeah, and she
know the wife, the bride, the mom to be. She
expected just a little bedside ceremony but the hospital staff,
they're the real heroes here and they went above and beyond,
so I want to shout out them. Tim Pinago's Regional
Hospital in Utah. Yeah, the kids are gonna be like
(56:24):
my birthday and then it about nine. Wait, wait a second,
that's good though, good for the hospital. It definitely didn't
have to do that. All right, that's what it's all about.
That was tell me something good. Now, time to go
to Amy and get in the morning, Corny morning, What
(56:47):
does I d K stand for? I know this it's
I don't know. But if I say I don't know,
she's gonna go like you don't know? I feel like
the investigating idkuh? What does id K stand for? Well,
I've asked lots of people, but nobody seems to know.
I say, I don't know. That was the morning, Corny.
(57:15):
The top three spots are on the board. Amy named
the top spot people secretly hide in their house closet.
Closet did not make it? Oh really that's for you,
I know. Number one? Yeah, and then garage like in
the garage at number three, Yes, there you go go ahead,
bathroom at number two, the bathroom and number one pantry.
(57:36):
But why have. That's a perfect place to hide marks.
You're going there. You got all the snacks, you just
sit on the floor. Perfect. The bed still ranks the
top spot the bed. I can't hide in the bed
and they'll find you. Yeah, it's time to open up
the mail bag. Something we call Hello. Bobby Bones my husband.
(58:04):
I've been married for almost five years. We have two
children together. Were at the point where we're almost trying
to determine whether or not to continue growing our family.
We got married. He wanted one or two kids. I
wanted four or five kids. Now he feels our family
size as perfect as is, but I don't feel as
our family is complete. I would never force having another
kid on him, but I have received the same advice
(58:26):
from so many people. You may regret not having more kids,
No one regrets having more. Obviously, it's a personal choice.
It's different for every family. But considering that Amy, Eddie
Lunchbox and yourself have different family sizes, I'd love to
know your opinions on what the ideal number of kids is.
How did you know? How do you know when your
(58:47):
family is complete? Thanks Adrian and Kentucky, PS. Loved you
in Otown all right? How many at the beginning, did
you say they have two children together? Right? Yeah? So
Amy talking about family size for a second. Well, I
have two, but I feel like the perfect size is
about four. Wow, but i'd with four labs. My sister
(59:10):
has four kids and it's so cool. I love watching
them all together. And I sometimes I'm sad because I
don't have that, and I'm not going to but it's okay.
I love my two kids, and occasionally I want a baby,
but then that's just probably not gonna happen. Maybe it will.
We're not opposed to it, but I don't. I don't.
I guess two is probably our number. You know, I
(59:32):
don't have kids. I feel like probably to be well,
i'd like to max out two twins right away, dude,
just get it over. Oh yeah, so, but that's all
I'm gonna say. I have a lot to add here,
except for I grew up with just a sister. Well,
I had a half brother. I didn't know it's two steps.
It was the whole thing, a family tree went in
all different directions. But I had a brother. I liked
(59:54):
it too. I feel like two's good for us. Eddie
f four kids. Why don't you talk about it. Yeah, So,
in no way am I knock in the size of
my family. But I will tell you I have four boys,
and life is a lot simpler and easier when three
are around. With a four, it's chaos just because there's
just so much going on. And I have ranged from
(01:00:15):
fourteen year old to three year old, and it gets crazy.
And I do Amy, You're right. I do love the
whole team vibe like we're one player short of a
basketball team. It's really cool, like to have all of
us kind of go around to the grocery store together.
But man, that fourth one makes life a little more difficult.
Maybe it's cool when they're like ten. Yea, yeah, you're
gonna be so glad like family gatherings later, Like it's
(01:00:37):
just gonna be so full people. Or you could just
have a ten year old. Yeah no, no, no, no
no no no no no no no, it comes out
of the womb. Ten. Yeah, that's not painful. It would.
That's why I said, I wish and had all the
development of a ten year old, and like you had
spent time like you you plant a chip in their
brain of what you would have done. But they're ten
(01:00:58):
now and it's all good that nothing yet yet all right?
All right, not yet all right, so good luck. I
think here's my my advice. Do you have one more?
You don't have to have four? Have three? Three sounds good,
three sounds three sounds right on, and take it. Take
the advice of Eddie. Three's awesome of what you want
or can get over a little tough. All right, Hey,
thank you for the email. We appreciate that. Close it up,
(01:01:20):
We got your Now it's found to clothed Bobby bad

Thanks guys, show
Transmitting welcome back Morden Studio morning. Hope. We had a
great weekend. Let's just get right to it. A Lunchbox
had his garage seal over the weekend. Finally here's a
call asking about it. I was just wondering how lunch
boxes garage sale went. And what I really wanted to
(00:26):
know is did he get to keep the money or
did his wife get to keep the money? You know,
since they do have separate bank accounts, whose money is
that that they got from the garage sale? That's a
great question. So it finally happened. You didn't want it
to happen. You felt like it was a bad image
for you. Yes, as you're so rich and famous, I'm famous,
people are gonna think I'm poor. I think I'm having
(00:46):
financial problems. Maybe we're getting kicked out of our house,
so we have to get rid of some of our stuff.
All that goes into it when you're having a garage
So that's what people think when they come to the garage.
Anybody that's having never let me tell you, a garage
sale is a lot harder work than you guys think. No,
I've had them. It is exhausting. Yeah, I mean you
are up the night before really late, trying to get
it ready, and then you got to get up bright
(01:07):
and early the next morn the sun comes up because
people are ready. Oh you're here. People need to get
a life. I mean it is six fifteen in the
morning and we're still putting stuff out and people are
pulling up in their cars. So this is why you
get there early, because all the good stuff is still
there when you first put it out. It gets picked
over by nine o'clock. And so we would go garage sailing.
We were in our cars when it was nighttime. We
(01:27):
had already drawn a plan to where we were gonna go.
We're gonna get there based on where we thought had
the best stuff. So they're doing that because they know
your best stuff goes out then and gets bought. Then.
I get that, but I had to tell them, hey,
we're not ready yet. We're not ready yet, like we're
not open. Pretty business when they got stuff there, but
we're not open. Yeah, I understand if I put hours,
we're hey, we're opening this time. I didn't say I
was gonna be open at six am. So, I mean
(01:49):
we didn't even get price tax put on anything. And
that's how crazy it was and it was so busy
all day long. Did you get recognized? Oh yeah, I
mean selling some Christmas lights and one lady and her
husband came, what goes, Oh those are Christmas lights that
got you in trouble. Hun. I'm like oh yeah, and
she's like yeah, blah blah blah. She starts talking to
me about the show. I'm like here we go five
(02:10):
minutes talking about you know, life and just things like that.
She's like, maybe I should buy some of those Christmas
lights so I can have some of the lights got
you in trouble. Shud buy them. No, she didn't buy anything.
Oh oh nothing. So are you why people know where
you live now? Oh? They know where I live? I
mean yes, they know the people. I know that. I
saw people taking pictures. They didn't ask for pictures, but
they were snapping photos like of me standing there, like,
(02:32):
oh look, I got a picture of Lunchbox. Here's the
clip of Lunchbox talking to a potential customer. Yeah, don't
spread any rumors that were you know, we're bankrupt, we're
getting divorced. We're not getting divorce. We're not you know,
we're still paying the bills on time. Yeah, you know
what I'm saying. Some people to like, look, it's like,
oh man, I'm sorry, they're going on hard times. No, no,
we're not having hard times here. You know what I mean.
It's like we're doing okay, okay, just so don't feel
(02:54):
too bad for us. Okay, all right. I didn't hear
you sell one thing. You're just telling people how you're okay. Well,
she was going to some of the clothes and I
was just as she was going through it, I was
just like, hey, why not if you're trying to sell
me like we are going through hard times, would you
mind buying? Then she goes to TMZ and it's like, hey,
Lunchbox is going through hard time. She's a hundred. Did
you hear her? She was seventy six. Yeah, that's I'm saying.
(03:14):
One of TMZ she's gonna write a letter. I didn't
think about that, but yeah, I mean, I just I
was letting people know that my situation is not as
it appears. Here is Lunchbox talking to another customer. Some
people think, you know, you're having a garage shil because
you're broke, but we're not. We're not. We're not getting
kicked out of our house or anything. No, I'm not
saying we're not getting kicked out of our house or anything.
(03:34):
We're not. We're not, you know, broke. You know people
when they have too much stuff. Yeah, that's why I'm
doing it, thought, Yeah, yeah, okay, all right, I'm just
making sure you don't. Yeah, yeah, no, no, you know
what I mean. I was worried. I told my wife.
I was like, everybody's gonna think we're broke. You're doing
damage control of your own yards for no reason. Yeah, okay,
And here, finally, here, here's how much you made. Let
(03:55):
me tell you, I was so tired at the end
of the day. Finally the garage show wraps up. I
mean people stopped. It starts and dine around noon, and
we stayed out there until two o'clock, hoping, you know,
to get rid of the rest of the stuff. We
go in and we count the money, and let me
tell you, I didn't realize how much money we made.
I pulled out my pocket. I mean I had a
big old lot of money. You want to guess how
much we made? Three hundred bucks, one hundred dollars, Here
(04:18):
we go, here we go, money money. Monday, four hundred
seventy four dollars and I get seventy percent. You get
thirty percent. I did seventy percent of the work. I
did so much. Boy was I out there? Most of
(04:39):
them are out there? Okay, so you agree everything starting
to getting dirty in there stopped. Made four hundred bucks
and I made four hundred seventy four dollars. What do
you get? What does she get? I get senny percent?
Get No, No, I did seventy percent of the work. Guys,
like ninety percent of the time she was in the
house like I was out there like hustling, and oh
(05:03):
you know how much is that? That? Boom boom boom.
It was unbelievable how she was always the kids needed something. Okay,
but she's taking care of the kids. Why did you
do finger quotes over kids? Here's the thing. Three of them.
The kids didn't need anything like she was just in
there hanging out. Take care of kids. Listen, I'm glad
(05:25):
you made five hundred bucks. Awesome. Would you do another one? No?
They are so tiring. I mean I took a nap
after that. I was so tired. I put the kids
down three hour. Now you put the finger kids. I
put the kids now and I napped for three hours.
It was amazing. All right. So overall, you give this
whole situation a what letter grade? Probably a C plus.
I mean, the money was great. The hard work was
(05:45):
very exhausting. All the pressure on my shoulders being recognized,
it was very stressful. What are you gonna buy? I
don't know. You know, I'm probably think I'm gonna do
buy a plane ticket somewhere by yourself. That's like a
one way to get away from the quote unquote kids,
one get away from the kids. Yeah, I think I
need a vacation. All right. There, you have a good job,
lunch box, thank you. On the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Kevin,
(06:09):
I was watching some of this, uh this this docuseries
where you're road tripping, and I know that you also
like to be in your bus. Do you hate flying?
I just just like, would you hate flying or you
just like being on the ground. Man, I don't really
like airports because I hate flying. I'm scared of flying. Yeah,
you're scared of people. It sounds like, you know, I
don't like bad interactions and airports just like it's like
(06:33):
a recipe for bad interactions with people. You know, you
taught me a lesson in an airport once. It was
a couple of years ago, that's pre pandemic, and I
think we were sitting next to each other or near
each other on a flight and we had both been
stopped going through the airport. But you were you were
very efficient and very nice to people, and I'd be like, yeah,
let's take it. I would take like ten minutes, and
(06:55):
you're like, no, here's what you do. You go, yeah,
give me your phone, and you take the self before them,
and you give them their phone back, and everybody wins.
And so that's the move, because yeah, your lesson was
They're gonna be like, well, I can't get my camera
ride I can't. They say, you just take the phone
from them. You do it, You take the selfie because
you know exactly how to do it. Then you hand
their phone back. At true, everybody wins a lot faster,
(07:16):
and it looks good because you control it because you've
been doing it a million times. Yeah, right, you know
who did it the best? Who I saw do it?
And I was like, he's knocking this out of the park.
Edge Sheering. I was with Ed one night and things
were blowing up for him and I was like, man,
this guy's really good at this. Look at that angle
way to hold that phone steady, He's got it down.
(07:38):
I got it, got out the mole skin. I was
like dropping it down on pining paper. You know, I
remember this thirty degrees. I've passed your knowledge to multiple people. Yeah,
the same way I taught you, you you taught me, Gavin.
So it's going generationally at this point. It's like, you'll
save time. You have a bet, just say hey, yeah,
let's take a picture. Give me your phone boom, take
(07:59):
it all right, there we go on. I love it.
If you're not too heavily caffeinated, the pictures pretty good.
Otherwise it's a little shaky. Yeah, I'll forget about the
caffeine hits me hard, man, I'll drink and eight ball's
worth of it and I'll be I'll take the selfie
for it and it looks like an earthquake happen. Congrats
on the new record, man, thanks so good. You know
it was lucky enough to you send it over to me,
because you know, I'm just a fan of you musically anyway.
(08:20):
And I mean it's it's and we're gonna play something
from it just a little bit but also, and I'm
not sure if you know all who's been bragging about
the record, but I would be considered like a half toaster.
There's a there's a podcast called The Morning Toast and
they were they were bragging on it and playing it
to a pretty podcast, and I was like, I know
that guy. Thanks. Yeah, so I didn't do it. Mine's
right now, but there's already happened. I think, yeah too, man,
(08:43):
So the record is really great. So when this thing
comes out, well, I guess before it comes out, like,
how long do you work on an album like this?
And do you feel like musically, sonically this is I
don't want to see a change. It definitely feels a
little more in the lovely way like mature, Thank you
did this album? Did you feel that? Do you like
(09:04):
that appropriate way to describe it? I think that's spot on. Um.
You know, record came out on the twentieth of May,
and uh, you know, I've been holding it back, um
because I didn't know if it was the right time
to put it out for a long time. It's been
done for a long time. But you know, the world
was all upside down and my life, my personal life
(09:25):
was all upside down, um, and I wasn't. I wasn't
sure when when's the right time to put out new
music and um, when does it feel like the right time?
And also at the same time, how how am I
going to serve the songs to my fans? I didn't.
I didn't want to just launch this thing out, you know,
out of a cannon and hope people heard it. And
(09:47):
I wanted to kind of deliver it to them personally
and go out and play little rooms. Um. The tour
I just did. Um. I went out and I played
rooms that were the size of the rooms I played
before I ever had a record deal, like the Even
on launch, the actual release day of the record, we
played at the Bitter End, which is the first place
they ever gave me a gig in New York City.
(10:08):
You know, it holds one hundred and fifty people, two
hundred people. I just felt like being in those environments
was the right way to serve the songs to people
who've been with me for a long time. The audience
is basically what changed my life. So I wanted to
serve them the songs the way that I used to
serve songs before. I haven't had a record deal get
up on stage, talk about the music, talk about my
(10:29):
life and you know, here's a song about it, and
all these things happen, and then just make it run right, um,
make it ry? Yeah? Yeah, And uh, you know, making
this record it was heavily personal. You know, there's a
lot of loss in the family. And I lost my
mom and then two weeks later, my grandma died, and
then six months later, my granddad died, and then COVID happened,
(10:50):
and then my dad got diagnosed and he died, and
you know, I'm watching all that stuff happened around me.
But I wanted to finish the record while he was alive.
I wanted him to hear the record. It was my
that was my timeline. My timeline was finished it for
Dad right whenever, you know, hopefully before I lose him. So, uh,
it wasn't going to be a business as usual album.
(11:12):
That wasn't going to be Hey, let me write some
songs and I hope I get some hit songs and
just had nothing to do with that. It was just different. Um,
the world was different. I'm different, and for me to
go on and just do business as usual cutting records
just in hopes of man I hope it catches on.
It just wasn't going to It would be disingenuous. And
(11:34):
I can't ignore the things that happened to me, or
to them, or to every the world as a whole,
you know, and just launch a record and and hey,
this is so people dance. That's it's not how I feel.
You know. The world changed and and I changed with it.
I'm forty five years old, I'm a grown man. For
me to go out and just trying to, you know,
(11:55):
do my happy dance would just be silly. And I
was listening to it again. I'd it's some time with
it when you sent it to me, and then I
was listen to it again and the track that hit
me always every time was Chasing Win. I'm gonna rape.
You'll play some of this. Here's some of Gavin song
Chasing Win. You know what's interesting too, as Dave co
(12:24):
produced this right and Dave Calls worked with a lot
of our favorite artists here intown. He's he's a genius.
I took a meeting, uh well, he took him eating
with me, which I didn't expect because you know who
am I and um? I met him in midtown here
and Um, we did lunch. It was he and I
and I was expecting some old geezer to walk through
the door because I heard his name so many times,
you know, and he had so many hit records. But
(12:46):
he walked in. He had cooler hair than me, and
he was cooler than me, and uh, probably younger than me. Um.
He said, what do you want to do? And I said,
I need to get all this stuff out of my body.
And I don't want to co write with anybody. I
want to go back to writing alone like it did
with the first few records. Um. But I think you're
(13:07):
the best producer in the world for kind of record
I want to make. Um And he said, with some
explet is, let's do it, you know. And a couple
weeks later we were in the room and um, you know,
he brought in some ace players and I brought in
the best guitar player. I know this guy right here,
Billy Norris and uh and uh and we just started
(13:29):
recording and um, and I think that Dave's influence over
the record as a whole was something that took took
it to to heights I couldn't have I couldn't have
seen and um my My vision for it was more
linear than his. UM. His vision was much bigger than mine. UM,
and he really challenged me in the studio, which I
really appreciated. I think we all worked better under pressure anyway,
(13:52):
you know. I think everybody needs to have somebody kind
of putting a thumb on him and uh and challenging him.
And I think what he did, uh and what he
demanded made the album a whole lot better than than
I ever could. Gavina Grows here got a new album,
Faced the River. We're gonna play forward in just a
few minutes. But when I think about, you know, somebody
just says your name, that that check that melody of Chariot, Yeah,
(14:15):
just sits in like the on the back when it's like, hey,
you know listening to Gavina Grows and immediately lit chair
that that just that melody. I'm assuming when you when
you play, you play all? Do you play all the
hits like your shows? Yeah? Pretty much absolutely. You know,
I'm walkers play a little bit of Chariot just to
get that that that bug out of my ear. Oh
absolutely won't play just play the hook. Sure that's part
you know, Yeah, it's part I think I know more.
(14:37):
That's part of this. Yeah, all right, here to get
three four chearing you walk down check, I'm singing out
(15:00):
God give me rang nice. All right, I'm good. That
worm is gone. You know sometimes you gotta feed the
worm and the worm's full and the worm goes away.
I like it. I know you're gonna read tune now right?
Do you need a second? A second? Cool? Can we
(15:21):
keep talking? Yeah? Okay? Cool? Cool? Cool. So Chariot was
one of your first singles. I played it on radio
as wow. It was one of the early ones, right,
very early, Yeah, two thousand and five six back in
somewhere and there. It was a funny little group of song.
The timeline is really weird because the first song I
ever released, um, I don't want to say it didn't
(15:42):
do anything, but it didn't do anything. It was called
follow Through. And then I got lucky with a song
called I Don't Want to Be And then Clive Davis
loved the song follow Through so much he goes no
rereleasing follow Through, so he wanted to launch it again,
and that time, for whatever reason, it was a it.
And then the next one was Chariot, and so it
(16:03):
was in that first little little group. Yeah, but I'll
be around it till five or six. Everything's just flying
so fast. Then, I'm assuming at that stage of your career.
You know, It's funny. I was always um afraid to
acknowledge any successes that were happening. Um. I was almost
too busy to notice them. But as they were occurring,
I was so afraid that they were going to disappear
(16:26):
if I picked my head up to look in the
rear view mirror and go, well, cool, look look what
just happened, you know, Um, and I and I was
you know, I don't know. It's a personality type thing. Man,
I'm always waiting for the other shooter drop. Yeah. Yeah,
so so you know, even when big things were happening,
I just thought it was, oh, we have to do this.
(16:47):
We're doing this. It's great, we're doing this. But we're
doing this. I guess we're doing this because we have
to do this because nothing's working yet, you know what
I mean. And I don't know why. It's a personality
type thing. But you know, you get on, you're lucky
enough to come on, it will show like this me
and go, this is great, this is awesome. We definitely
have to do this. Nothing must be working right. It's
(17:10):
a little annoying is happening, and by a little lot
of rosis because I live no data back, no dat
about it. It's it's fear and uh and it's you know,
it's fear of failure, and it's fear of hey man,
did I make all the wrong decisions? And you know
I joke about it with with with friends of mine
that you always feel like I'm I'm one one more
(17:31):
bad decision away from just playing the lobbyist some hotel
in the middle of somewhere, you know, and uh, you
know that guy you know and uh, you're just you
just you don't have complete control of things. You know,
you mentioned you got lucky with I don't want to
be Yeah again, I was in pop radio at that point.
I don't know it from One Tree Hill have to
(17:53):
show it's on, Yeah, I don't know it from that.
I'll just know it from being played on the radio.
So which is this isn't checking her egg? Here? Was
it a single? And then it got big and the
TV show put it on, or did the TV show?
And then it went from there. Man, you know, it's
funny with that song because I thought that was the
obvious first single. My brother was screaming up all the
(18:16):
time at me, you know, in our apartment in New York.
He's like, that's a single. What's wrong with people? You know,
like they need to put that out first? But follow
Through is the one. And I got a phone call
from a guy. The song hadn't been selected to be
a single yet, and I got a phone call from
a guy named Joe de Vola, and Joe de Vola said, Hey,
(18:38):
I want to use your song for a TV show.
I said, Nah, absolutely not. I don't even watch TV.
TV stupid, you know, and it's just you know, it's
New York, you know, East Village Art, you know snob
at the time, you know, it was kicking around Alphabet
City and you know, twenty years ago, right. So I said, nah,
(19:01):
I don't even watch TV. Who watches TV? And I
don't want to be associated with it. He goes, listen,
you gotta help me, help you. The song I think
would be a big song and I want to put
it in a show. I said, na, na, and I
really appreciate it. You sound like a nice guy, but no, thanks.
He goes, Okay, let me ask you another question. How
much money you got in your bank account right now?
(19:22):
And I was like, bro, he starts laughing, and he goes, listen,
think about it. We're not going to touch the song.
We're just gonna put it in a place where people
are gonna hear it, you know. And that show wasn't
on yet, right, I wasn't even on yet, right, Yeah.
And I followed through. Apparently had been picked up and
(19:44):
put in another show that was in pilot, in pilot
mode that never got actually never became bigger. I think
Val Kilmers and was about the porn industry. Followed through.
I don't know, but anyway, but yeah, I said, you
know what, all right, this guy is right. Guys like
me aren't going to be watching this stuff anyway and
associate it with certain things. I'm not going to associate
(20:06):
it with a teen show. I'm not a teenager, you know.
I was twenty seven at the time, and I was
an adult. But I said, all right, do it, you know, man,
just do whatever you want with it. I appreciate it,
and you know what, just do it, Just do it.
And sure enough that the song took off. And then
I walked into the label and I had a meeting
with Clive Davis, and he said, with everything happening around
(20:31):
this show, the show, but the song you've heard Clive talk,
the obvious next single would be I Don't Want to
Be And I was like, all right, great, this is awesome.
You know, so the song I originally wanted it is
finally going to be the single and it did it.
It took off, and you know, fortunately that was a
foot in the door in the door moment. You know,
(20:53):
does that I don't know. Obviously it got you to
the place that you originally wanted, meaning it's kind of
a weird that happened. For sure, you wanted it. They
said no, you didn't want it to be on the
TV show. Then you finally said yes, which got it
back around where you wanted it. Yeah. So but do
you look back at it being on the TV show
and go, I wish I wouldn't have done it, or
I wish I would have done or are you just
(21:14):
like you know what nailed it? It had to happen.
The looking back things always tough because I think if
I would have made a different decision, I'd be looking
back right now thinking I should have changed something else
that you know, based on wherever I was at that
at that point, right as they say no h they say,
(21:35):
no battle plan ever survives combat. Right, So so and
you know, of course, no matter what changes I would
have made back then, there'd be some other something else
I'd have to look back on now it's I should
alter this, I should have altered that. But I think
the association, certainly at first, was a great idea. It
opened doors that were absolutely well did shut to me
(22:00):
because there were other artists who are always going to
have priority at other labels. You know, I wasn't I
wasn't UM, I wasn't Alicia Keys. You know, she was out,
you know, a little bit before me, but under the
same same company. I wasn't Maroon five. They were out
just before me, with the same group of people doing
the same marketing. So there there were already a couple
(22:23):
of acts here that we're going to get the most attention.
And I needed to find I had to find a
window to crawl through, um and that's that was the window.
So then let me ask you this way. When people go, hey,
I know you from one tree Hill, that's right, right, Sure,
when people go I know you from one tree Hill,
you're like Oh no, I say that's awesome because you know,
(22:48):
that's cool, okay, because however you found me. You know
the fact that you know, twenty years later, someone's coming
out to me saying they know me from a team show,
but they're still coming to my show. That means somehow
the music is making them feel good still, right, And
if they're only coming for that one song, hey, god
(23:08):
bless them. If they want to sit through two hours
of music, you know, for me to get at the
end of the night, you know, then cool. You know,
there was a speaking of which I think every artist
probably goes through this the first probably on their first
their first successful song. Oh you're gonna love this, okay.
(23:31):
So because I was having little success with that song
early on, and the song took off. Here it's a
big hit, blah blah blah whatever, people start coming to
your gigs. So then you know, for about you know,
for about six months, you start feeling pretty good. You're like,
this is pretty cool, this is I'm having some success.
You know. Sadly, you feel like you're a little bigger, stronger,
(23:53):
you know, everything's bigger on your body, right, so to speak.
And so I thought, but let's play the hit early tonight.
You know, let's do it like third. Everybody's gone by
the fourth songs. You can't do that. You know, everybody
who's left there is watching you just bored to death
(24:16):
because they already heard what they came. There was there
was like two or three gigs. I was like, I
know what I gotta do. I gotta play this one again.
That's fun going to play it again, you know. And
uh so those are growing pains, those are those are
real learning experiences, I think, And uh this stuff you
(24:37):
gotta be able to laugh at afterward. Because every act,
every act that's had a big hit, I know they
know what I'm talking about. Whether whether they decided I'm
going to try it out play the hit early or not,
I don't know if they've all done that, but I
know that they know the crowd is really coming for
the hits. Do you you gotta play them, but you
(24:57):
gotta you gotta pick, pick and choose your moments. You
did you ever have a stage where he disliked playing it?
He played it so much. No, I've never not ever.
Thank god. It's about to get real awkward. No, no, no, literally,
but you know it's funny because I do know acts
who talk about, oh, I don't want to please my hits.
(25:19):
I don't want to do those anymore. And and I
think to myself, does it how lucky they are right
now that they get to do this. You know you
got to pull them aside. But hey, listen, I know
you know you've been doing this song every day since
you wrote this song. But must I remind you you
(25:39):
have one of the only jobs in the world that
when you get the clock out, people clap for you
and tell you what a good job you did. You know,
name another one, you know, name another job you could
think of that at the end of your workday, people go,
great job, that was amazing tonight. You know you don't
get that. Nobody gets that. You know, get up there
(26:00):
and give them what they came for. You're so blessed
to be able to do that. Or you you you're
you have forgotten how how tough real life really is.
If you don't want to do a song for three
and a half minutes for people who saved up three
and a half months to drive three and a half
(26:21):
hours to watch you sing that song, well, okay, Gavin
Degrass here and he's looking at me when he said that. Sorry, man,
crazy that you would you would want that, So listen
as a fan, I'm glad that you feel that way,
right And and with that being said, yeah, don't play
the whole thing, just give me that doesn't give me
(26:42):
the hook of that. I don't want to have him
yell at me. I don't want to just give me
the hook. And we'll call out a day on that one.
All right, here's Gavin de Girl hit me with that
hook of I don't want to be. Yeah, I don't
want to be anything. Damn what I've been trying to
be laid leg I have to dude singing me and
(27:07):
my piece of mind. I'm tired of looking around wanting
what I gotta do. I'm supposed to be. I don't
want to be anything other than me. That's awesome. Let's
get to the new stuff now. That's what we all
came for. So we drove three and half hours. I
(27:28):
don't want to yell a me again. I was thinking
about leaving. Yeah, yeah, you leave after that, everybody studio.
So the song that I'd like for you you to play,
if that's cool, ast forward, it's from the new record.
Would you give me a little set up on this
(27:48):
and you wrote it and oh forarded it. So what
led you to actually do both? Uh? Well, this song
is about sort of recognizing that you've been uh caught
up on the hamster wheel of life, and you know,
you have that revelation one day of you know, my
(28:10):
stuff owns me. I don't own my stuff? But why
why am I doing all this other work? Or am
I why am I picking up this these o'ts? Why
am I doing these other things to pay for things
that I'm not even getting to enjoy because I'm spending
all my time just paying for him, you know. Um.
(28:31):
And you're seeking advice, so you know, I think if
you're gonna get advice, hopefully you get it from somebody
that you love, somebody uh uh who's smarter than you
and and who's older than you, um, because they're gonna
give you better advice. So this is this is uh,
the song's a conversation, uh about somebody looking for advice
(28:56):
asking some old dude, you know, what what do I do?
All right? Here's Gavin DeGraw. This is from the new
record Face the River, and here is Ford Try and
tire of them, Try Still. I've been climbed in. Oh
(29:18):
why can't he the top? Old man? Can't you help
me understand why I'm on this planet? Do you know
when to stop working for a dollar? Oh? That's telling
making man feel broke working for a dollar, that's the
(29:44):
only thing. Nine old just striving old ford, complex things
and pray the Lord have. Let's make it feel like more.
Leave work the front door, work caught and you get paid.
Don't give them your best days on the so meant
(30:07):
you left, saved some of them up for the ones
worth saving them for. Lat hl da da da da
lo ra da l da da da da. Yeah, Lata
(30:29):
l da da da da l da da da da
dat da da da da da da da. Yeah, it's
so good. Got kill him. That's awesome, sounds good, the
message is good, You're good. Everything that's great. Don't don't
yell him anymore. It's awesome. I was amazing. That's really great.
(30:51):
The records, thank you, it's great to the record is
an album that I would listen to if I wasn't
working in music and had to listen to music for living, right,
I mean that that's the music. I like this. This
whole record is that and wow, I encourage people to
check it out. It's been not a few weeks called
Face the River. So many good songs, and listen the
feeling that you guys probably got by hearing that song
(31:12):
and that message. Those feelings are sprinkled all throughout the
record for different reasons, Yes, sir, Because I mean, you
sing that song there and it's like, may I should
re evaluate my life and quit this job and walk
off the air right now and so and go and
spend time with my wife and wait through this place. Yeah,
but you know that's the kind of thing. It is
like I'm spending too much time doing dumb crap and
that same kind of oh, like punching the gut in
(31:34):
a good ways all through the record. So great, great jobs,
a heck of a project. I appreciate it. I hate
that so much crap had to happen for you to
create this project, but I'm glad that you did it
because I feel like, hopefully it was therapeutic for you,
very very I appreciate that, man. Yeah, I appreciate that
it's been. Um, it was therapeutic writing it, and it's
(31:55):
it's therapeutic recording and therapeutic playing it every night and
it's been UM, it's been emotional playing it every night. UM.
Some nights are harder than others, you know. UM. But
but I feel like it's a message that I need
to get out UM. And I think it's something really
(32:16):
other people are relating to. And you know, when you
lose people, you become part of this fraternity or this
club that you never really wanted to be a member of. UM.
But we're we're all members of it UM or were
gonna be. And and I just think you have to uh,
take it head on. You know. My father always told
(32:38):
me run to the lion, and and I think you
just have to take you just have to take everything
head on. Everything you're worried about, everything that's scaring you,
everything you're that's you, that you were putting off. There
has to be a moment where you turn and you
go to it, UM. And and I just needed to
go to it. You did. It's it's again beautiful art, circumstances,
(33:00):
beautiful art. And just don't stop doing it, you know, man,
don't stop doing it. Gavin Degrass here, you guys check
out the record. It's Faced the River The there's a
six part docuseries on Facebook yeah, you guys did about
road tripping as you're making like the creative ish process. Well,
it was after the uh, after the record was made,
(33:23):
I got to go out and do do another road
trip because I like road trip. And you know what
I said, I lying, I said, I don't like being
in the air. I wish I could fly on the ground.
That makes sense. That's the move. That's that's that. That's
the move. Can I fly on the ground. We're supposed
to see the world from about five to six feet
above the ground, right where our head is, right where
(33:43):
our feet. That's yes, you guys check that out in
and that's gonna be it for now. UM. My absolute
favorite song of yours is not over you. Wow you
still like that one? Or no? Of course? Yeah, I
love it. I wrote that with Ryan Tedter. I did
not know. Yeah, I wrote with Ryan Teter and the
spark of it. One Republic guy, One Republic Yeah, super
(34:05):
just a wonderful UH pop songwriter, specifically, just a genius
at pop and we um he first played me that riff,
the piano riff up top that. Um then come on
right then? I think we were in um Blackbird Studios
(34:27):
in here Nashville. He goes, yo, man, when we think
of this piano, I was like, us, it's okay. I
guess he was like, yeah, I think this would be
great for your entry. That's where I have to go
to see your beautiful fit sending more stared at a picture,
(34:52):
rub and listen to the radio pop pop. There's a
conversation booting. We had it good until then. It's daily nation.
I know that munch is understood and now read a lot.
If you ask me how I'll do it, I would
(35:15):
say I'm doing is fine. I will light say that
you not on my mind. But I go out and
I sit down at a table, settle you and finding it.
I'm forced to face it. No matter what I see.
(35:40):
I'm not over you, not over you. That's awesome, man,
I appreciate that. Thanks for walking us through that. That's it,
Gavin de Girl. You guys follow him. Listen to the
record over and over again. Face the river. You will
find your own story inside of it. He created music.
(36:00):
It doesn't have to be the exact same story that
you're living. I find song a lot of times. It
speak to me in different ways, and it was originally
written and it speaks to me the same way that
they was supposed to speak to me. So great, great
body of work. Gavin DeGraw, Thanks, appreciate you guys. Thank you.
Man there he is, Thanks a lot, guys. The latest
from Nashville. In Tullywood, Morgan number two thirty six Skinny
(36:25):
Soby Keith revealed that he was diagnosed with stomach cancer
last fall. He's spent the last six months receiving humot
radiation and surgery. Right now he's taking time to breathe, recover,
and relax. Lany Wilson will be in season five of
yellow Stone. She's playing a character named Abby who is
a musician. The new season has already started filming in Montana.
(36:45):
Zach Brown Band is releasing a deluxe version of their
album The Comeback. It will feature Blake Shelton on their
song Out in the Middle. The deluxe album is set
to come out this fall. I'm Morgan, that's your skinny Hall.
It's time for the good news, Bobby all right. So
she works at a lottery counter and a guy comes
(37:05):
up and goes, all right, I want to buy some tickets.
He says, I want to pick, and he picked his
first two numbers and then he said, hey, you that
works the counter. Why don't you pick your favorite two numbers?
So she did that, and boom he hit. And so
he hit for a thousands of bucks and then gave
her two thousand bucks as a tip for picking those numbers.
It wasn't like a million dollars jack quot or anything.
But he definitely didn't have to give her a two
(37:27):
thousand dollars tip. Pecky could have just left. She'd never known, right, Yeah,
but if she had to pick those two numbers and
he wouldn't want, I agree. I'm not on the side
of don't give money. I'm just saying he had every
opportunity to not do it, yet he still did, which
is pretty awesome. Which I have a feeling that some
of us in the room would have done this. Let's
be honest, you win twenty thousand dollars. Totally would pay
(37:48):
her if she gave you two of the numbers. Yeah,
do you give a couple of thousand? Yeah? Or maybe
even half? Whoa half? If you give half and you're
not getting half taxes taken out, but after taxes she
gets half. Okay, Oh my god, you're crazy. Why not crazy?
I don't know. That I would do. I don't know
that I would do half because she didn't put her
money up. She just do a couple numbers at me.
But I would definitely break her off a couple thousand
(38:09):
bucks for sure. Okay I didn't think about putting the
money up, but okay, yeah, Eddie, yeah, break off one
one thousand for each number she gave me. Would you
really are you just saying you wouldn't do Why not?
Bones thousands a lot of money, but you're not gonna
get twenty. You're gonna get like thirteen thirteen thousands, she
gets two, I get eleven. We all win. Great. I
have a feeling you wouldn't do that, though, Yeah, lunch bucks,
(38:29):
no chance. I would give her a thank you card
and maybe we can take a picture together. I'd be like,
what a great story. We could be on the news.
But she's not getting any of my money. She just
does it. She just threw out two random numbers as
she's working the counter. She didn't put up any of
her Well that without her, though, he wouldn't have won
without me. I wouldn't wonder because she would. I love
the ticket and I'm not gonna see her and trying
to make myself look good. Eddie, Well, Eddie, look at
me in the eyes. I shall be honest. Let's say
(38:51):
that because of her, she gives you a couple numbers
and you have thirteen thousand dollars? Yes, do you give
her two thousand? Two thousand? Max? Do you remember we
were playing bingo and whole someone, Hey, we win? I
split it with you? What did I do? I split
it with him? Yeah, but that was like three hundred bucks.
Well still, that's okay, and you'd already wanted that night.
I take back the fact that I said, Dad, thank you.
I have a feeling in real life situation you wouldn't
(39:12):
do it. But if you say so, I agree, Hey,
just give me that chance, give me that chance to
show you. All right, So shout out to Shirley Rose
who picked out the numbers, and the anonymous guy who
won thousands of dollars and heck three out of the
four of us for being good people? Are you good? Hypothetical?
You know what it's hypothetical? I give all of it. Okay, Yeah,
let's see what a great custom any thing to hypothetically
(39:34):
give her all the money? All right, that's what it's
all about. That was tell me something good. I feel
like you want to show me a picture of something
I saw Amy grab her phone as we're going to segment.
What what's on your phone? Well, I don't know if
you want to see it. But my son now thinks
it's hilarious to text me pictures from his bathroom experience.
(39:55):
What do you mean like when he goes to the
bathroom bathroom number two, he takes a picture result and
then he Oh my gosh, I don't want to see that.
Why don't text that to you? You don't know? No,
I thought this is just the whole boy humor thing
for medical reasons. Yeah, he's like Mom, I think he
should or he's proud of himself. Oh no, no, can
(40:15):
you tell him to stop? Yes? And now he thinks
it's so funny and oh oh can't stop old stuff.
Oh no, I never opened a text from him. It
could be like I haven't eaten in days, and I
wouldn't look at it because I wouldn't want to see that.
Don't to me, No, no, no, no, I don't want
to say, oh dude, what do you tell him? Please stop?
This is not or don't send these to anybody else?
(40:36):
But Mom, no, no, no, please stop, well yes, no, no, yeah,
no pictures. It's like a jeans jaga board in the seventies.
No pictures, no pictures. Yeah, I don't know. I just
hope he's not texting him out to anybody. Have his
own phone. He has an iPad. He's taking a picture
of an he's having to get all cinematic. That thinks huge.
(40:56):
Oh no he doesn't have a phone. Oh no, he
can text me through his I've had account. Oh that's
what he's been up to, like an email a week.
What else he up to? Well, he had a friend
over and they got locked out. So that was quite
the experience. I get. I wasn't home. The friend has
a phone, so text me and was like, hey, I
(41:18):
was just down the street at the grocery store and
I was going to be back. And he's like, somehow
we've managed to get locked out. And I said, okay,
well I'll be home soon, so just play basketball or
do something outside and I'll be there. And I get
back and Stevenson's very dramatic and is already spelling out
sos with sticks and rocks in our driveway for people
flying over the door, and what's funny is he just
(41:41):
learned what SOT met a week ago, and so I
actually thought it was quite clever and cute. But he
was just very dramatic. When I pulled up, we have
been locked out for hours. It had been no more
than thirty minutes, that's for sure. And he was spelling
out sos, which, by the ways, means nothing. Oh, it
means nothing. Ours it. It's what people have inserted the
(42:04):
meeting meaning to him, But it means nothing. It's made
of just those specific sounds and the letters looking like
a distress signal. Not save our souls, that's another one.
Save our sushi, our sisters can mean any of that. Hell, listen,
you guys come up with a lot of ideas for
the show, and some of them get used, and that
(42:26):
one was very appreciative. But some of them are so
just we'd never do them, and I appreciate the effort.
But that's how we get this segment called rejected segments.
Rejected segments. Although some of these are so dumb. I
don't think you guys even really wanted me to air it.
I think you're just filling out space, like some ideas.
So these are rejected segments segments that in a million
(42:47):
years we would have never done on the air. There
have been times, though, where I've been like, wow, that's
actually a pretty good segment. Let's do it. So let's
see if any of those do this. We'll start with Lunchbox. Lunchbox, welcome,
thank you, and I don't know why any of my
segments get rejected. I'm shocked when they don't make it.
Lunchbox wrote, I am supper annoyed with my wife Supper,
which I think he meant super That spelling is not
(43:09):
my strong point. Care that much, he said. I think
my wife's faking a back injury so she can just
lay around all weekend, turn me into a single dad.
I don't think she was hurt. Listen to these grunts
and moans I've recorded of her and tell me that
she isn't exaggerating it. Okay, guys ready like this are
getting up off the couch, in the car, out of bed.
I mean, it is so ridiculous. Here we go. Okay,
(43:36):
I'm calling it. She's not hurt. Come on, like that's exaggerated? Right? No,
did she know you were recording her? No, ba Bean
is real. I'd be so mad if my husband brought in.
I mean like, I mean literally, so for three days
(43:56):
I had to do everything with all three kids, like
she just they're on the couch like, oh can't get
up all like the kids crying. Oh, you're gonna have
to get that like what rejected segment. Rejected segment. That's
like that, you guys, stop talking about it. I just yell.
Next up, Mike Dson In Paintball Roulette, we get five
different paintball guns, but only one is loaded. Bobby, Amy, Eddie, Lunchbox,
(44:20):
and Morgan get a chance to select a gun and
we take turns shooting each other. The game stops once
one person quits or goes to the hospital. Oh my gosh,
brutal bit I've been hit. That's like some squid Games
stuff right there. Talking about rejected segments, also from Mike
d It's a spin off of one of other segments
(44:41):
where we do the employee of the month, but instead
we recognize the person who is the worst employee of
the man because person needs to show the most improvement,
and we list all the things they did badly last month.
That's hilarious money worst That just would not be good
for morale. Rejected segments Morgan number two, and this one
actually wasn't so bad. I just I guess it didn't
(45:04):
get to it. But you've been in three different workout
classes where the same guy keeps live streaming the workouts. Yeah,
I'm like in the background of all of his live
streams and I'm just working out. I didn't figure it
out until all the way through a full workout class
and I walk over and there's people like commenting on
what we're doing. Is he a person in the class
or teaching the class? No, he's a person in the class. Oh,
he's just in the class. Yeah, that's so weird. He's
(45:26):
live streaming himself, yes, so that others can work out
with him. I don't know. But then the rest of
us are in the background of it, and we don't
know that strangers are commenting on what we're doing while
working out. Yeah. Usually just sign it consent if we're
a if you're a teacher, I get it, Like, Hey,
we're gonna live stream the class to people who can't
get up here. Yeah, just somebody random, Yeah, just setting
up on the side, like watching him go at it.
Oh that doesn't sound listen. I even watched him do
(45:49):
ab crunches with his body like, you know, his legs
towards the camera. It was not a pretty goal. Is
this like a thing like a acted segments? Lunchbox back
in the mix here, Hello, Lunchbox is mad at Sports
Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Oh boy, because they're not putting on models.
(46:09):
He doesn't know. Yeah, they put Kim Kardashian on the
cover of the Swimsuit issue and I'm like, we already
know Kim Kardashian. Give another model a break. And also,
that's how we discover new models. That's how we what
do you what do you need models for? I mean,
that's how they get their big break and we get
to see a new hotty instead of oh Kim kay,
we already see Kim kana bikini all the time. They
should rejected segments. Frustrating. Okay, Raimundo saw on TikTok how
(46:38):
he can remove excess skin from his eye for twenty
dollars and let's know if he should try it on
the air. Yes, tell us how Yeah, I've had these
stighs on my eyelids. They run in my family, and
my grandpa had on, my father has them, and my
wife in a noise, or it's right on my eye,
it's been there rejected segments twenty dollars or yes, he's
gonna lose an eye. He's gonna tell us and somebody's
gonna do it, but he could do it on air. Yeah, reject.
(47:02):
I got one left. This one is from lunchbox. He
wanted to spill the tea on shady Scuba Steve because
he saw a shady deal in the parking lot and
he doesn't think what Scooba is doing is legal. Yes,
there was a car that pulled into the garage. Scuba
went out there, looked at his left right, stuck his
hand in the car. Person handed him like a brown
(47:24):
paper bag, wrapped up. Kooba went put it in his
truck like no one was watching. I was like, that
doesn't seem very normal to ask you a question. It
wasn't like an Amazon delivery. It was a can't cash
for something like how did this go down? Let me
just run this by it? Yeah, you like Scooba, Steve. Yeah,
let's say he was doing a drug deal, which I
don't think it was. I don't know what he was doing,
all right, but let's say it was. Would you really
(47:45):
want to come in here and tell on him for
doing that. I mean, if it's going down to work,
like do that at your house, man, don't bring that
business to my work. It was me at Jeopardy doesn't
But what was it really? I don't Goooba, Steve, I
don't know, I don't. It wasn't a drug deal, so
I don't mind asking him this. Yeah, yeah, no problem
was it drug deal? It was not actually the thing
you're speaking into right now, that red microphone that I
got you for Christmas. It was that. Oh they got
(48:06):
brought dropped it off and I was trying to be
secret about it because it was a surprise. Oh oh
that's it. So how do you feel, Lunchbox? I feel good.
I'm glad. It was not breaking the law. It just
seemed weird than you're gonna just tell them it was.
The car was all tinted windows, and it was just
seeing every car almost it had a radio, just seeing
(48:30):
really shady. Okay, well those are all rejected segments. Amy
didn't make the least good job. Oh but I don't know.
It's kind of fun hearing them. Okay, here here's bat
room for you. A woman trusted Amy with her purse
in the bathroom. Whoa, oh yeah, that's a big dude.
That's weird, not crazy. So she was in the stall
next to me, and her like toddler son was in
(48:50):
there with her, and he kept throwing stuff out of
her purse into the other stalls. And so when I
got out and washing my hand, she scooted it under
and she was like, can you wash this for me?
And I'm like, this woman does not know me. But
I gathered everything and put it up on the sync
and waited for her to come out. You look trustworthy.
She couldn't see me through the stall. But why was
(49:13):
that rejected? Because she wasn't talking about it. Well, I
wasn't going to And you're like, whoa, why had that?
I'm here? Well okay, but I just thought, wow, this
woman trusts me because I could have just walked out
with her personal problem. That's rejected segments. Thank you everybody.
Please rejected segments. Keep them coming Over to the voicemail
line to a Maya who is ten years old. I
(49:35):
had a question for you. Why am the one? Have
you not watch lying kids? That kind of makes me mad.
Have a good day. You are nine? Oh she got
in trouble at end of the call. That's funny. And
her mom yelled year nine, so she may lied about
me in ten. That's funny. I think that's that. I've
never seen Lion King. I don't watch Disney movies as
a kid, so as I got older, I didn't watch
(49:57):
Disney movies as I got older. And I don't have
kids yet. I have it, I'm sure I will, but
I've never seen Lion King. I know the story. What's
the story? Lion walks into the jungle? Bartender's like, how
many willabee? Yeah? You nailed it. Yeah, that's it. Plans
like r Bartela, we don't serve that here? Right? Yeah?
Then he is Crown King. Cool, here we go. This
is Ashley from Raleigh, North Carolina. I have a morning
(50:20):
corny for Amy. What does a cat order from a
Mexican restaurant? Pariso? Also for Eddie? All right by Amy
for the cat, Eddie for the Mexican stop. Thank You's
Amy's pile of stories and a new poll, eighty three
percent of people say they keep it a secret if
(50:41):
they won a lottery. Jack Pott. I think they say that,
but there's no way you can keep that a secret
if you win five million dollars and more. What's a secret? Krish,
you got a new boat out there? Yeah? That's hey,
hey Krish, you got a new truck. Just keeping a
(51:01):
secret and saying nothing. I wonder if there's some people
that try to keep it a secret from like everybody
in their life, like even their partner, spouse. No, I
don't think you can pull that off. No, that would
be tough. Hey, Chris, my husband, you got a new boat.
It makes you think these The other headline I saw
this morning about a husband that was mad at his
wife for keeping a get out secret get out fund
of thirty k she built it up over fifteen years. Yes,
(51:22):
I don't. I don't hate interesting. You don't hate a
secret get out fund. No, as long as the secret
nobody's ever heard, and then you're always prepared. I did
see in this lottery article, though, that only four percent
would share their money with co workers. Yeah, I mean,
it's not your family, I know, But why would I
share money with it just randomly with co worker? That
would be weird. But if you won the five hundred
(51:45):
million dollar one, you wouln't cut us all at it.
This is not about me and us. This is about
people and their co workers. Most people don't spend every
day for fifteen years with their co workers that are
only their co workers because they were friends first and
brought them on. Gotcha. Okay, so I would think most
over like, I give them my coat, keep it go
over there, crop, But there's no way eighty four percent
of people can keep that secret. And the dollar amount
for people to quit their jobs four million. That's what
(52:07):
they need to win. If I want a hundred, I
wouldn't quit my job. That's how I know I'm doing
the thing that you supposed to be doing. Well. Yeah,
so this is not an AD, but I saw Sonic
put out a summer snacking venu and there's something on
there that I was like, well, this seems interesting and
I want to try. And it's called tat chos. Yes. Yeah,
by the way, not an ad. Are studios covered in
(52:28):
Sonic stuff I just saw? Okay, part of it is
not partly paid Sonic sponsorship. Yeah. I just was like, oh, tatchos.
Try those. But here's the deal. You can only order
tat chows if you have the Sonic app. And by
the way, on the app drinks half price. But this
is not a map. I mean you use Sony more
(52:51):
than anything else that's on a app. All right, what else? Well, Bobby,
if you're ever in a coma for some reason, I
have some songs that have woken people up. Yeah, you
got Living on a Prayer bon Jovie. Maybe you're you're
hearing the song as you're in a coma. You're like prayer,
living on a prayer? Are you just say a little prayer?
(53:12):
Boom you wake up? Oh see? Yeah? Wow? The words?
What about unchained Melody, the Righteous Brothers, this wocal woman up? No,
I'd be like, oh, this makes me sleepy. I'm gonna
standing stand a coma for a little bit. James Blunt,
you're beautiful, Yeah, beautiful. I think kill myself. I kept
hearing this over and over again. Yeah you don't like
(53:33):
this one. I do like it, but I've started so
many times. So I'd be like, this would have made
me come back to earth, and then adel I'd run
toward the lights. For this particular girl, doctors were like, God,
I don't think she's ever gonna wake up, and then
walla rolling in the d I think everybody has their
own come out of coma taste, right, Yeah, I can
(53:55):
just imagine. Now I'm in a coma and beep beep.
It's quiet, yes, beep beep, And Eddie walks in with
a boombox ninety style above my head. Well, sure, on
your shoulder, on your head, lays it on the foot
of the bed. Beep beep. He says, hey man, it's
me Eddie. I want to play you a song. Okay,
And then I'm like, I still let me beep and
(54:16):
then Eddie hits play. He hits uh the tape player
to click, think, don't don't. That's great. It starts with
the nerd. Wait, these moving guys. Play guys. Get a
doctor in here. He's moving. What happened? What? What? What yourself?
You're wrong? Eddie's at you. I'm gonna turn it up
(54:39):
a little bit, Eddie, are you still bad at golf?
What year is it? Yeah, it's still I'm okay. Then
I'm up. It's the end of the world, staying right
into it. That's it. You guys know what song to play? Remember?
How long? Clatter? Stay on the beeper? What? How long
do you remember? Don't ever kill me? All right? That's
(55:01):
maybe that's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news. There's a couple, Chelsea
Mueller and Jeff Bradley. They planned to get married back
in twenty twenty, but then COVID happened and totally messed
(55:21):
up all of their wedding plans. Still haven't had that
wedding yet. While they had a planned for later this summer,
she's pregnant with child. That something they definitely wanted to
do before they had children was get married. Well, she
went into early labor. It was given birth at the hospital.
So what did the hospital staff do? Planned a wedding
at the hospital. So they had this hospital classroom that
(55:42):
they turned into a chapel. The hospital chaplain married them
the cafeteria, put together a wedding cake and sparkling cider
and send it on up and they had like a
full on wedding. So that way they could a lot
of money. So the baby's gonna share a birthday with
the anniversary. Yeah, if it all happened on the same
(56:02):
figure it out, it's interesting maybe the Yeah, that's when
it all click around the same time. Yeah, and she
know the wife, the bride, the mom to be. She
expected just a little bedside ceremony but the hospital staff,
they're the real heroes here and they went above and beyond,
so I want to shout out them. Tim Pinago's Regional
Hospital in Utah. Yeah, the kids are gonna be like
(56:24):
my birthday and then it about nine. Wait, wait a second,
that's good though, good for the hospital. It definitely didn't
have to do that. All right, that's what it's all about.
That was tell me something good. Now, time to go
to Amy and get in the morning, Corny morning, What
(56:47):
does I d K stand for? I know this it's
I don't know. But if I say I don't know,
she's gonna go like you don't know? I feel like
the investigating idkuh? What does id K stand for? Well,
I've asked lots of people, but nobody seems to know.
I say, I don't know. That was the morning, Corny.
(57:15):
The top three spots are on the board. Amy named
the top spot people secretly hide in their house closet.
Closet did not make it? Oh really that's for you,
I know. Number one? Yeah, and then garage like in
the garage at number three, Yes, there you go go ahead,
bathroom at number two, the bathroom and number one pantry.
(57:36):
But why have. That's a perfect place to hide marks.
You're going there. You got all the snacks, you just
sit on the floor. Perfect. The bed still ranks the
top spot the bed. I can't hide in the bed
and they'll find you. Yeah, it's time to open up
the mail bag. Something we call Hello. Bobby Bones my husband.
(58:04):
I've been married for almost five years. We have two
children together. Were at the point where we're almost trying
to determine whether or not to continue growing our family.
We got married. He wanted one or two kids. I
wanted four or five kids. Now he feels our family
size as perfect as is, but I don't feel as
our family is complete. I would never force having another
kid on him, but I have received the same advice
(58:26):
from so many people. You may regret not having more kids,
No one regrets having more. Obviously, it's a personal choice.
It's different for every family. But considering that Amy, Eddie
Lunchbox and yourself have different family sizes, I'd love to
know your opinions on what the ideal number of kids is.
How did you know? How do you know when your
(58:47):
family is complete? Thanks Adrian and Kentucky, PS. Loved you
in Otown all right? How many at the beginning, did
you say they have two children together? Right? Yeah? So
Amy talking about family size for a second. Well, I
have two, but I feel like the perfect size is
about four. Wow, but i'd with four labs. My sister
(59:10):
has four kids and it's so cool. I love watching
them all together. And I sometimes I'm sad because I
don't have that, and I'm not going to but it's okay.
I love my two kids, and occasionally I want a baby,
but then that's just probably not gonna happen. Maybe it will.
We're not opposed to it, but I don't. I don't.
I guess two is probably our number. You know, I
(59:32):
don't have kids. I feel like probably to be well,
i'd like to max out two twins right away, dude,
just get it over. Oh yeah, so, but that's all
I'm gonna say. I have a lot to add here,
except for I grew up with just a sister. Well,
I had a half brother. I didn't know it's two steps.
It was the whole thing, a family tree went in
all different directions. But I had a brother. I liked
(59:54):
it too. I feel like two's good for us. Eddie
f four kids. Why don't you talk about it. Yeah, So,
in no way am I knock in the size of
my family. But I will tell you I have four boys,
and life is a lot simpler and easier when three
are around. With a four, it's chaos just because there's
just so much going on. And I have ranged from
(01:00:15):
fourteen year old to three year old, and it gets crazy.
And I do Amy, You're right. I do love the
whole team vibe like we're one player short of a
basketball team. It's really cool, like to have all of
us kind of go around to the grocery store together.
But man, that fourth one makes life a little more difficult.
Maybe it's cool when they're like ten. Yea, yeah, you're
gonna be so glad like family gatherings later, Like it's
(01:00:37):
just gonna be so full people. Or you could just
have a ten year old. Yeah no, no, no, no
no no no no no no no, it comes out
of the womb. Ten. Yeah, that's not painful. It would.
That's why I said, I wish and had all the
development of a ten year old, and like you had
spent time like you you plant a chip in their
brain of what you would have done. But they're ten
(01:00:58):
now and it's all good that nothing yet yet all right?
All right, not yet all right, so good luck. I
think here's my my advice. Do you have one more?
You don't have to have four? Have three? Three sounds good,
three sounds three sounds right on, and take it. Take
the advice of Eddie. Three's awesome of what you want
or can get over a little tough. All right, Hey,
thank you for the email. We appreciate that. Close it up,
(01:01:20):
We got your Now it's found to clothed Bobby bad
