Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey, everybody, it's Bobby. It's Sunday.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
So we're gonna play some clips here from some of
the podcasts that came out Hang Out because Amy talked
with Stephen Young, founder of Home Street Home. It's a
homeless ministry that is really a great story. On the
Bobby Cast, I talked with Darius Rutger about his new book.
It's really the untold story of hooting the Blowfish and
a lot of the pain that his biological father left behind.
Things got pretty emotional for me and him. Check out
(00:32):
that episode if you haven't, but I want to play
a clip from that. Here's my conversation with Darius.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Hi, your dad, relationship with your dad?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
None?
Speaker 5 (00:41):
None?
Speaker 4 (00:42):
That was It's funny because I'm a I was reading
I was doing the the uh.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
What do you call it?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Audiobook for the book, and I'd read it.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
I've read it a couple of times, and I started
reading the parts about my dad, and that's the only
part that I was like choking up. I was like, really,
because I didn't know how much it bothered me until
I wrote the book. I didn't know how much it
really just shaped my life and bothered me my whole
life until I wrote the book and then I was like, wow,
that was that really really bothered me?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah, that's real.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I had those issues with writing my first book because
with a lot of stuff about my mom before she
died and her and same, I was like I didn't
understand like how fundamentally, like even misunderstood I was to myself, Yeah,
until I like put it out and then I'm like, well,
I got to evaluate and then even debating on putting
(01:35):
it out, So putting it on paper or writing it
was the first set then going do I really want
to send this? Yes, and like having that conversation of
how on committing to it and then you're right, reading
it back was really hard.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
There was some that was tough with the dad stuff
was stuff, but there' stuff in the book where you know,
as you're writing it, you're writing it and you know
you're you're laughing or whatever, you're you're whatever, or you know,
but then when you read it.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Back a couple of times, you go, wow, wow, you
know crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Did you have a new appreciation for the younger version
of you at times who's gotten through some real serious
crab Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I really that was something that also happened. That's perfectly
saying I got a really more respect for me and
an appreciation for me because all the stuff, all the
negative stuff and the positive stuff, but all the stuff
that happens that happened when I was younger. Man, I
wouldn't go to let anything stop me from doing what
I wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And if it were another kid who you saw from you,
you'd be like, so proud of that freaking kid. You'd
be like, I cannot believe that kid's doing it. But
if it's us, we're like, no, we're just surviving. There,
We're you know, we're in the middle of it. We
don't really understand except survive absolutely, and.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So same for me.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I had.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's weird to say an appreciation for that kid who
got through.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Like all that crap.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Absolutely, and that book was a real therapeutic.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
That's that's exactly what it was. And that's one of
the reasons I wrote it. And I didn't even realize
that was one of the reasons to go once again,
you started writing, you start writing it, and you're reading
it back and stuff's coming in and you read.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
It and you're you're going wow, wow.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You know, you're proud of yourself, but you're also like, wow,
life really through some curveballs in there.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Did you ever get the the stage of as you're
writing it, like, man, I'm so over me, Like, I'm like,
nobody cares that much.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I mean, I went through all yeah, that's just like
I was, It's all about me.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I was writing about me and me and me.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I'm like, God, nobody cares.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I called Clarence, my manager, and said, dude, why are
we doing this. I was like, no one's going to
buy this book. Nobody cares about my life. I was like, dude.
And then you know, you're you're worried about some of
the stuff you're putt in. You're like and you're like,
am I really going to put.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
That in there?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
And then you put it in there and you're like,
nobody's going to care about that. You know, like even
even you know, now you know, I've written a book,
and I still like, no one's gonna care about.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
This same I had the same feeling, and I remember
being ashamed not of what I put in it, but
ashamed of the potential feelings I could have when people
were judging me.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
And so you're, yeah, that's oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
So you're you're at the stage now where people and
it's so different than music though, because you're going to
put out this book and you're gonna be like, all right,
I read it for people to tell me and take
us like forever to read a book, so you just
kind of they it's a slow roll of like people.
But there was a part in my first book where
my mom was struggling and she was a bad attic
and she had called and I started to make a
little bit of money and she was like, if you
don't give me money. I love my mom, so I'm
(04:22):
gonna say that. But there was a where she was like,
I'm going to do porn. And that was really heavy
and hard on me, but it was also it made
me realize how awful it was for her, and like
I knew, but I didn't really like yeah, but when
she called and threatened me, like I'm going to do
porn if you don't send me money. I had that
(04:42):
where I was like, I don't know if I should
put this in the book, but because of what I
had to develop, because so I put it in with
the context around it, and I thought people are going
to judge me, or people are going but That's the
thing when I would go do shows that people would
be like, not the exact same story, but fairly, that
people will be like. That's what I related to the most. Yeah,
(05:04):
And that was the part I felt that I was
going to be the judge the most on. Was that
type of stuff, Yeah, the really personal stuff absolutely. So,
the fact that you have those feelings like I'm proud
of you, because that means you put it out there.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Oh, I put it out there for sure. This is
one thing I talked about in the book where I
don't see my dad from the time I'm like thirteen
or fourteen till twenty eight, fifteen years Nope, not a word,
never saw its face.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
You know where it was, Yeah, fifteen minutes from my house.
You know, he lived right up the road.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
And never saw him fifteen years and then let him
it hits and things that start getting crazy.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
And we're playing.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
We're playing out a string of clubs and rooms that
we had booked and uh so we're playing in Charleston
at the King Street Palace, which used to be Charleston
County Hall, and I'm having dinner after soundcheck and he
walks in the room.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Do you know it's him, Yeah, Dean.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Dean knew it was him before I say anything, like Dean, Yeah,
Deana Basis. We're sitting there eating and Dean looks up
and goes, I mean he just looked at me. Oh
that's gotta be your daddy, looks just like it's like
it is. And he walks over and he talks to
me and actually really acts like you know. We saw
each other yesterday and I decided I'm going to be
the bigger man. And I was like, you know, cause
(06:20):
really you have so many conflicting things. I'm like, am
i gonna just blow this goulf? I'm gonna tell him?
What are you doing here? I've being seen you in
fifteen years?
Speaker 5 (06:26):
You know? Get away?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
No, I said, all right, I decided I was going
to be the bigger man. Try to develop some kind
of relationship with him. So we talked for a little
while and I give him my phone number. This before
cell phones. I give my phone number and go on
the road for a couple of days. And I get
back to my house and I checked my answer machine
and he's on my answer machine. And the first message
he left me in my whole life, I haven't talked
(06:50):
to him for fifteen years. He asked me for fifty
thousand dollars. It was shocking. I was like, are you
kidding me? And painful and expected me to give it
to him.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, and here you are hopefully investing yourself back into something.
And the first that's I like, that hurts my heart
because that's just that's so painful and I can unders
being mad and like I can't believe it, but also
big time.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
Because that's your freaking dad, and maybe and you know,
and when he came with I'll never forget like reading
reading back of course, like we were talking about it,
you know, therapeutic, and I'll never forget after him coming
and us going on the road, how I just felt like, Okay, cool,
now dad and I were going to have a relationship.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
We'll try to have some kind of salvage something for
father and son relationship out of this. And that was
the first thing he asked. He asked me, and I
don't think we've ever really had a conversation after that.
Speaker 8 (07:47):
Good cass up road, little food for yourself.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Behaved.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
It's pretty beautiful, man, beautiful that.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
A little more family because.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Said he k you're kicking out with Full Thing with
Amy Brown.
Speaker 9 (08:14):
Hey, it's Amy Brown from Four Things with Amy Brown.
And here's what we talked about this week on my podcast.
Do you have a load that you'd be willing to share?
Speaker 10 (08:23):
I have to go back to Christmas Eve of twenty thirteen,
at the beginning of the year, I'd made a promise
to myself that I would never spend another holiday season
alone on the streets. Up to that point, had done
practically everything I could think of to try.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
To get off the streets.
Speaker 10 (08:41):
As we've talked before, it's not easy and nobody can
do it alone.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
They've got to have help.
Speaker 10 (08:47):
And I was tired, and each day that went by
it seemed I was getting closer to that being the
life that I was going to live forever, and I
I couldn't handle that.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
I didn't want to handle that, I didn't want to
deal with it.
Speaker 10 (09:04):
So a little bit before the holiday season, I realized
that the promise I had made to myself at the
beginning of year not to spend another holiday season on
the streets, the only out I could see to keep
that from happening was to end it on my terms,
and so I checked in to Hallmark in on Trinity
(09:26):
Lane in Nashville, Tennessee. And that is done with a
sense of sarcasm. Because the room was nineteen dollars, I think,
so that tells you how luxurious it wasn't but it
was Hotel California for me. I was going to check
in and I had no desire to check out. I
had made the decision that I was going to end it,
(09:49):
and I was okay with that. I was calm to
a degree. But I realized that that's how far I
had sunk. But for the grace of God, I would
have succeed. People have asked me, and we've talked about it,
and well what happened? Well, I wish I could tell you,
because I went from sitting at that little table with
(10:10):
the pills in front of me, a few letters that
I had written to a few people, not knowing if
they would ever get them or read them. I was ready.
I was done hurting. I was done going to bed
at night, falling asleep, hoping I didn't wake up the
next morning. The next thing I know, I hear a
knock on the door and I'm startled. I'm shocked, and
(10:33):
I'm going, who's knocking at my door? Because nobody knew
I was there, and I had looked at the clock
earlier that was beside the bed, and it was nine
o'clock Christmas Eve, and I thought, good a time as
any well, when that knock on the door came and
it startled me. I was sitting there for a minute,
(10:54):
and then another knock followed it, only this time there
was a voice with the knock, and it said, sir,
are you staying or are you checking out? And as
I looked at the door, I caught the clock again
and it set eleven o'clock. But it wasn't eleven o'clock
(11:16):
Christmas Eve, it was eleven o'clock Christmas Morning, and I
was like, what the heck? I cleaned my language up.
I think I used something a little more colorful back then,
and I was kind of in a state of shock,
and I reached into my pocket and I pulled out
what money I had left, and I counted it out
(11:38):
and I said, I'm going to stay another night. I'll
come down and pay in just a minute. So I did,
and that was the beginning of my journey back. I
would like to tell you at that moment, that was
my come to Jesus minute.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
But it wasn't.
Speaker 10 (11:57):
I wasn't there yet because, as you know, knowing my past,
God and I did not get along for many, many years.
But it was the beginning and March of twenty fourteen,
I walked off the streets. So my lowest turned into
my highest, and I've not looked back. What I thought
was me giving up was really me letting go. And
(12:23):
it wasn't until I was ready to let go of
trying to fix things that God saw the opening and
he took it to fast.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
Forward you fourteen hours that you can't explain right right
where you're like, how did I get here?
Speaker 11 (12:38):
Right?
Speaker 10 (12:38):
And he took that opportunity. And I tell people now,
whether they're homeless or people that I counsel with and
people that I know that are down, I go. You
wanted to change, let go, let go of the past,
let go of the pain, let go of the hurt,
because until you do, there's no room for anything else.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
And there's got to be room.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
And thankfully, y'all, you were not successful no in twenty
and thirteen, because the lives you've been able to impact
since then are countless at this point. And you celebrated
your sixty eighth birthday this year. Thanks for reminding me, yes, yes, hey,
we got to celebrate that because you know, come a
(13:23):
long way, yes from that hotel room, which I think
is a perfect setup into another point that you posted
that really moved me, called sixty eight years of yesterday.
So I'd love for you to read that one.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
Next, sixty eight years of yesterday. There was a time
when the odds of me reaching this point weren't very good.
Yet here I am, and in the quiet early morning
hours before the sun puts a spotlight on this day,
I can't help but look back and try to put
my pass in perspective and ponder what may lay ahead.
(13:56):
I was so self absorbed that I never considered what
it would feel like to reach this stage of my life.
I never thought I would, and I wasn't sure I
wanted to. Most people spend decades preparing for their later years.
I spent that time living only for the moment, with
total disregard for the future. Now I find myself hoping
(14:19):
I'm around for a while longer. Did life go the
way I'd hoped or planned? I can't say, because I
wasn't much for doing either. I think that luxury disappeared
from my life when I was twelve. But as I
sit here and try to describe it, I'm transported through
the years on a whirlwind recollection that seems surreal at
(14:42):
best and unreal at worst. Regrets. Oh yeah, Still, I'm
blessed because I have lived long enough to change my story.
It wasn't until recently that I questioned or cared if
my existence would have counted for something. Would I pass
on without it having had a positive impact in this
(15:02):
world or leave having made a difference, even if just
in a very small way. I wasted so many years,
But I thank God for never giving up on me
and for allowing me time to hopefully make a difference.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
We're gonna do it live. Oh the one, two, three,
sore losers?
Speaker 8 (15:36):
What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most
about sports. I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions,
because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
It's Sison. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male.
I live on the North side of Nashville with Bayser,
my wife. We do have a farm. It's beautiful, a
lot of acreage, no animals, a lot of crops hopefully
soon corn pumpkins, rye. I believe a little fescue to
be determined. Over to you, coach.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
And here's a clip from this week's episode of The
Sore Losers. And here's a clip from one of and
here's a clip from one of the episodes this week
on the Sore Losers. Take this clip and play it
and betting. I guess if it's a push, you get
your money back. But in Vegas it's that roller coaster.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So if you went up to the ticket window and
they just gave you the same money you gave them,
it's not the bubbles. Rather lost it. It's sort of
like a sid It rips at you and then you go.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Let's double back and get some more baby honey to
the ATM.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
You either want to win or you want to lose,
and you want to be on the ground drunk reaching
for an airport bottle.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
It's like a hand of black jack. It's like the
emotional roller coaster that you're saying. You put, like, you
up your bet and let's say you go to fifty
dollars on that hand and you're like, okay, this is
you're betting twenty five a hand or whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
What's a minimum at the Aureo.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Oh, now it's the minimum in a lot of places.
Vegas is getting so expensive. And Brandon Hill he was
not happy with our Vegas advice. Uh, and he put
he goes, since the coachers are retired from Vegas, let
me give that guy suggestions. And he wrote out a
whole article and I said, hold on, we're not retired.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
We're hanging on. Yeah, that was depressing. We'll be back.
Speaker 8 (17:21):
Yeah, we're gonna make a special trip just to get
our name and our credentials back. Anyway, it's like a
hand of blackjack. You put fifty dollars out there, you
up your bet and you flip it over and you
get a twelve. You're like, oh my god, you gotta hit.
And the dealers showing nine.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Lunch is Tonia to not hit? Okay, buddy, thanks, I'll
decide And.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
I'm like, all right, gotta hit. And you get a three.
You're at fifteen. He still has nine. Got to hit again.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I'm hitting again. Then you get up. I don't eas
you to tell me I'll hit again. Then you get
an a. So now you're at sixteen. Oh my god,
I'm staying I'm staying. No, you can't stay at sixty. No, sir,
you're not telling me how to play. I'm staying at sixteen.
And then you hit again. No I said I was
staying at sixteen.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
And you get a three and you're like oh yeah,
or you get a four twenty and you're like twenty.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Hell yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
Like now the emotions because you started with a twelve,
you're like, oh, this is a losing hand because he
has nineteen. The dealer has nineteen, and you're like and
then you battle and battle and get those little cards
in little cards and you're like, oh, yeah, I got twenty.
Then they flip it over and they have a nine
and a six, so they have fifteen. You're like, oh
my god, okay, bus pus plus, I'm gonna bus bus
(18:32):
And then they flip over a five and you're like twenty.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Oh it's a push. It's a push.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
But the emotional roller coaster you just went on of
Oh I'm gonna lose too. Oh, up on the top,
I'm gonna win. Oh push h It's sort of like
that in the soccer game.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Ye're just giving me my money back. Awesome, I'll just
re bet. Thank you.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
Eye in the sky. It was just like our soccer game.
We were down three to two, then we think we're
up for three, but then it's back to three three
and we ended the sigh and it was just like, oh,
after thinking we scored the winning goal.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I know it sounds a little counterintuitive, but you want
to lose it or win it and then say every
another drink, honey, go to the ATM or high five,
high five, we won, we won. You look to your buddy.
Should we double down?
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Yeah, we pushed, man, That means we're gonna win the
next one. Let's should we.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Double this bet? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Okay, cool.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Hey, does your chick have any bananas left in her purse?
Give me a loaner and then I'll hit you guys
in the morning at brunch. Yeah yeah, Hey, man, does
your chick have another chip?
Speaker 11 (19:37):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Let me let me win that back. Yeah, and then
I'll get you guys. I'll get you back with that one.
And then yep, yep. Just give me a loaner. My
chick went to the ATM. Hey, give me a couple
of those green chips. Man, give me a couple of those. Man,
I'll get you back.
Speaker 8 (19:48):
I'll get you back Hey, can I those chips to
double down cot bar those chips?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Oh we lost.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Man.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
A normal life, you'd never do that. You would never
just lunch lunch, give me twenty and then I'm gonna play.
But in Vegas it's totally normal to just share. It's
just hey, let me hand out dollars all there. Here
you go, Here you go, Vegas. Your buddy's chick will
reach in her purse and throw you to twenty five
dollars chips, when in real life, she would never give
you fifty dollars. She'd be like, what what, Yeah to
(20:16):
pay for beer, give me fifty, and then when we
get to your house, I'll pay you fifty. Right, that
doesn't make any sense. Oh man, weird? All right, but
Vegas it's so yeah, yep, I got twenty five from
your chick. And then this stranger I've never met gave
me ten. I'm good, honey's going the atm what there's
a five dollars feet Oh so I lost five dollars.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
Hey, your one ever sent though, I'll give it to strangers,
strangers at the table.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
It's a loaner. One. Yeah, he loaned me, I'm loaning
him back. And then you go to the ATM and
then we'll all get pay each other.
Speaker 5 (20:43):

camaraderie of the the camaraderie, camaraderie of the table.

they got some good drinks over there. Man, it's good
cocktail menu. We've been there, like definitely five times. It's

Speaker 1 (23:06):

pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Hey, it's Mike d And this week on Movie Mike's
Movie Podcast, my wife Kelsey and I broke down the
top ten best selling DVDs of all time. This episode
is jam packed with two thousands of nostalgia, and I
don't know about you, but I'm in desperate need for
two thousand nostalgia right now, So if you want to
be transported into that time, be sure to check out
this full episode. We also gave a spoiler free review
(24:30):
of the new comedy movie Babes, and I broke down
why legendary director Francis Ford Coppola is spending one hundred
and twenty million dollars of his own money to put
out his own movie this year, So be sure to subscribe.
But right now, here's just a little bit of Movie
Mike's Movie Podcast. At number six is Shrek to selling
eight point two million copies. Came out back in two
(24:52):
thousand and four, just celebrated it's twentieth anniversary and they
re released that thing in theaters a great DVD.
Speaker 12 (24:58):
And just talked about it having Shrek guy, you know,
I owned it.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I would say of all the DVD actually, Shrek doesn't
make the list.
Speaker 13 (25:05):
That came out a few years earlier, so I feel
like that was probably still on VHS because I think
even like the first Harry Potter movie I ever had
was on VHS and that was like two thousand and one. Yeah,
so I don't think the switch really came into like
late two thousand two. Yeah, that lines up, so, yeah,
Shrek two would have been the one that was bigger.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
And I feel like people like Shrek two more than
Part one. I'm more of a Part one.
Speaker 12 (25:28):
Shrek was the revolutionary.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
It was so huge at the time it came out.
Speaker 13 (25:32):
Please stay off of the grass, shine your shoes, wipe
your face, all.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Of the adult jokes like that one. The other one
I didn't realize people didn't pick up on was the
fact that Lord Farquhaad killed one of the parents of
the bears. Like at one point you see the family
of bears and you see them missing the mom bear,
and then later you see him and he has like
this rug that is a bear. So it was all
these things happening. Also in the background is like these
(25:57):
second subplot jokes that was kind of level for that time.
Speaker 13 (26:01):
I think that's the only reason, like my parents enjoyed
taking me to kids movies because there were jokes someone
over my head that they would laugh at.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
That's what started that, and now is the thing of
putting in jokes for the parents so that they can
enjoy them too. That's got started with Shrek getting into
the top five. Now from two thousand and nine, Avatar
selling nineteen million copies. I feel like at two thousand
and nine, DVD sales were starting to dip a little
bit because you had HDDVD, you had Blu rays starting
(26:29):
to become a little bit more prevalent. So I'm surprised
it's this high on the list, but also makes sense
just because how big Avatar was, how it crushed crazy
box office numbers, so I feel like that probably translated
into a lot of DVD sales. But I didn't really
see this movie making the top five.
Speaker 12 (26:49):
If I never saw Avatar again in my life.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
The original or any of them, because they original they
have three, four five coming out more.
Speaker 12 (26:57):
The original, I didn't really I would be fine.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I didn't really understand it at the time. I thought
it was way over hyped, and it wasn't until The
Way of Water came out that I went back rewatched
that one and I kind of got it again, and
I enjoyed the Way of Water in theaters.
Speaker 12 (27:10):
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
It is very long, there's a lot going on, but
I can also respect the big action adventure like I
was talking about in Pirates of the Caribbean, Avatar goes
next level.
Speaker 13 (27:22):
Now in my head, I'm confusing Avatar two and Black
Panther sequel because they both had people in the water.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, movies have been doing that a lot recently.
Speaker 12 (27:32):
Which one had like the sound paralysis.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
That was Black Panther two. Okay, yeah, well, I mean
we also had three monkey movies this year, a lot
of monkeys. Whenever a trends starts, it just keeps going.
We had Monkey Man, Kong and Godzilla, and then we
had Plant of the Apes, a lot of monkey movies.
At number four from two thousand and eight is The
Dark Knight, selling nineteen point two million copies. I remember
(27:57):
getting a copy of this on Black Friday. My mom
and I used to always go to Walmart and Target
and the only thing I would seek out was cheap DVDs.
Speaker 13 (28:08):
I bought a couple sets of Gilmore Girls on DVD
on Black Friday. But my mom and I had this
thing where we'd go to Target, and we'd find ourselves
just like grocery shopping.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
On accident during Black Friday.
Speaker 12 (28:19):
Yeah, we'd end up.
Speaker 13 (28:20):
With like popcorn and toilet paper in the basket, and
the people like, you know these aren't on Salem.
Speaker 12 (28:24):
We're like, no, we know, we just were already here.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
We're just looking around.
Speaker 12 (28:28):
Yeah, it's not really a thing anymore.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
It used to be fun to go. And aside from
finding movies. I remember getting The Dark Knight and it
was the Batman head where it was just in the
shape of the Batman mask and you'd open it up
and have a DVD on either.
Speaker 12 (28:42):
Side, kind of surprice. You don't still on that.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I think somewhere in all the moves in Austin it
got lost, or maybe we sold it at some point
when we sold a bunch of our DVDs. There was
a time when my brother and I kind of separated
all of our collections, so maybe he kept it. He
probably still has it. That was always my mission going
to Black Friday is finding the cheap DVDs because you
could find them for like sixty seventy percent off and
(29:07):
they would.
Speaker 13 (29:07):
Put out the like circular and they would tell you
which DVDs were going to be cheap.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
And they would just have them in like the big Gold.
Speaker 12 (29:15):
Now Black Friday sales start on like October first.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
And it's not the same as all online. You don't
have that interaction with people. You don't have people well,
I guess you don't have people hurting each other anymore
as much, which is probably good.
Speaker 12 (29:25):
That was the thing too, Yeah, the craze.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
But aside from movies, I would always get the Simpsons
box sets, which are normally were like thirty forty bucks.
You could get them for like ten bucks. And I
had from season one all the way through probably fourteen
or fifteen, all on box set because I could get
it for so cheap.
Speaker 12 (29:44):
I'm glad you don't still on this.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I think Rudy still has my brother keep those Rudy
Classic collection. At number three from two thousand and two
is Spider Man, selling nineteen point five million copies. This
was another one I didn't actually own, but I had
a bootleg copy of it. It was part one and
part two. Part one I got a bootleg copy in America,
but part two I got a bootleg copy in Mexico.
Speaker 12 (30:08):
Was it in Spanish?
Speaker 3 (30:09):
It was in Spanish.
Speaker 13 (30:10):
I'm sad you don't know that. I mean, it probably
has computer viruses and we don't have anything.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
To watch it with.
Speaker 13 (30:14):
But I would watch a bootleg version of Spider Man
in Espanol.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
There were a lot of movies I got as bootleg
copies in Mexico, and for the most part it was
people sneaking in a video camera into the theater and
recording it. That was one of those. So every now
and then it would shake or you hear somebody came.
Speaker 12 (30:31):
When they'd have the anti pirrating lot at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
It was so hardcore. You wouldn't steal a car, but
why would you steal a DVD?
Speaker 12 (30:38):
This is unlocking so many memories.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
But I remember getting The Spider Man two in Spanish,
Passion to the Christ in Spanish. Probably shouldn't have got
a bootleg copy of that. Looking back on that, there's
probably some weird association with getting a bootleg copy of Past.
Speaker 12 (30:55):
To the Christ sing that on one.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I also got Gothica, which was a horror movie with
Holly Berry. And then I got a documentary, probably Michael
Moore documentary. Oh no, no, Michael Moore. It was The
Supersized Me. It was just funny to say supersize it
was great. So all those movies I experienced for the
first time watching them on my portable DVD player in
(31:18):
Mexico with all my Mexican cousins hanging around.
Speaker 12 (31:20):
The Passion of the Christ is still really staid to me.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
My mom could not watch that movie that it was
hard for her to watch.
Speaker 12 (31:27):
It's just just the fact that it was bootleg.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Maybe that's why she did enjoyed it. She's like me, Oh,
this isn't right.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Caver, She's a queen talking.
Speaker 11 (31:58):
It was.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
She get not afraid to face episode, So just let
it flow.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
No one can do we quiet Calne is sounding Caroline.
Speaker 14 (32:13):
Hey, y'all, it's Caroline Hobby from Get Real with Caroline Hobby.
And here is a clip from this week's episode. And
when I look at someone like you, and I was
actually talking to Bobby Bones about this in the parking
lot with you before you got here, it's like you
are that artist who has gone so hard. Like when
I think of you, I just think of like you
(32:34):
just in it. You're just in this grind, this hustle,
this passion, this going NonStop, like you have never stepped
off the break. You're always coming back figuring it out,
Like you haven't quit, you haven't let up because you're
so great and it's just a matter of time of
the right pieces connecting. And I say this about a
thousand horses too. I'm like, they haven't. They have a
(32:55):
switchboard and their switchboard. It's it's like it's a great
operating system. Just the wires been all crossed a little bit,
and finally I feel like they're getting in the right places.
And like with you, it's like you are this incredible
operating machine that is so impactful and is so authentically
just like epic, Like it's just like you are one
of the legendary singers. Like you are a legendary singer.
(33:17):
It's just like your moment I feel like is coming
right now because all of your backstory to get you
to right here, which is this album. No one gets
out alive. I'm like, and it's going to keep building. Obviously,
it's not like one one moment can't change everything. But
like I'm like, you are here, like it is here,
your operating system is aligned, you got your team in place.
(33:38):
You signed with Big Loud Records and they're so known
for like supporting the artist as the artist and not
changing the artists.
Speaker 11 (33:44):
Progressive. I mean, I have this album done before I
signed with them, and they fully embraced what I was doing,
and I was like, well that is those are rogues,
Like that's a Maverick kind of team that's going to
get behind you. But the wires crossing, like I had,
I had a little bit to do with those wires
(34:06):
being crossed in the beginning, just like even you know,
we're trying to talk about how I even got here
and like how Tommy were told. Like I can't even
tell you in a straight line how that first part happens.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
It was just spaghetti.
Speaker 11 (34:18):
Part of it might be just like my brain even
protecting me from the beginning of that. But I don't
take my foot off the gas because like this is
the time now, That's what this whole album is about.
It's like no one gets out alive. We have a
finite amount of time to get it absolutely.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Why do you have that urgency?
Speaker 11 (34:39):
I just I feel like I've been here long enough.
I know now who I am. I believe in what
I'm doing. I'm not doubling down. I'm not tripling down.
This is the fourth album that I'm like I still
am here, and I still feel like I should be here,
and I have so much more like to do, and
(35:02):
I certainly think I have plenty of time to do
all sorts of things, but like I'm not. I don't
want to take a break right now. I don't. I
didn't want to take a break when the pandemic happened.
What did you do presented that you did?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Yes, what happened to you during the pandemic? How did
that affect you mentally in your career?
Speaker 11 (35:20):
I think, you know, I had a little bit of
an identity crisis of like if I'm not performing, who
am I in?
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Like?
Speaker 5 (35:28):
Right?
Speaker 11 (35:29):
What I'm used to having like one hundred some dates
a year and they were just canceled overnight. And I
had relationships that were friendships, but also there was a
work component. When that was removed, there was like.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
What is the friendship now?
Speaker 5 (35:43):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:44):
And is that where some of the loss with friendships
came from?
Speaker 14 (35:46):
Yeah, and realized who was really a friend and who
was just kind of in it for the It's.
Speaker 11 (35:52):
More I feel like it's it's more complicated than that,
you know. I think that a lot of people needed
to be they needed to feel valuable and I probably
couldn't provide that in the way that you know, I
used to be able to. So I don't I don't
think that it's like, oh, you see who your friends are.
It's not that simple to me. I think that there
(36:12):
was a lot of pressure that all these relationships had
to sustain. That's so hard to untangle now. And that's
one of the reasons that with this current project, like
these songs are so personal because I wasn't collaborating the
same way that I was on previous projects. I was
(36:32):
writing not from the collective we. I was writing from
the I'm going through this.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
And so this is your you, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 11 (36:39):
This I had to And you know, I also, like
my best friend's dad died, and my uncle had an aneurism,
and my husband's uncles passed away. Like we went through
a lot of loss as a family. And there was
just that beauty too of like cut this is getting
older sucks and like you were confirmed with these inevitable
(37:02):
losses that happen. You know, people went through addiction issues.
I had friends getting divorced, like just the I feel you,
the sheene, the like patina of all the like things that.
Speaker 12 (37:15):
I thought were so perfect really wore off.
Speaker 11 (37:18):
And I also started this podcast, which was so fun,
but it was it was like I was throwing my
life and focus into all these different guests and hearing
about their experiences and like, oh, this person's got the
best career ever, there are no problems in the world,
and hearing about their loss and it was just it
(37:39):
became like a really eye opening, sobering time for me.
Speaker 14 (37:44):
Was that healing to hear about other artist losses that
you had kind of idolized and thought it was such
a That's what this podcast has done to me is
this made me realize, oh, my god, everybody's got every
chaos and trauma and so many hard knocks, and it's
all about how you knowavigated yes, and you think.
Speaker 11 (38:01):
About that career, what a storied career, that's exactly the
one I want. And then you get into it a
reveal to you just how incredibly heavy some of the
things are in their life. And I think it seems
so simple to just try and have empathy for everyone.
Speaker 10 (38:17):
You don't know what anyone's going.
Speaker 11 (38:18):
Through, but just to hear it bold faced in like detail,
I think was it was there was a moment where
like I was like, Okay, I'm sort of morphing into
maybe not like this always happy, go lucky person, which
I always would have characterized myself as before the pandemic,
(38:41):
and I sort of embraced that. And even on the
last song of this record, we have a reprise. It's
called another Sad Song, and it's like, sorry if this
is another sad song that no one's going to hear,
and they say that's the best way to kill a career,
but like, I'm going to write what I feel.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
There's a lot right there.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
So we're gonna play some clips here from some of
the podcasts that came out Hang Out because Amy talked
with Stephen Young, founder of Home Street Home. It's a
homeless ministry that is really a great story. On the
Bobby Cast, I talked with Darius Rutger about his new book.
It's really the untold story of hooting the Blowfish and
a lot of the pain that his biological father left behind.
Things got pretty emotional for me and him. Check out
(00:32):
that episode if you haven't, but I want to play
a clip from that. Here's my conversation with Darius.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Hi, your dad, relationship with your dad?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
None?
Speaker 5 (00:41):
None?
Speaker 4 (00:42):
That was It's funny because I'm a I was reading
I was doing the the uh.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
What do you call it?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Audiobook for the book, and I'd read it.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
I've read it a couple of times, and I started
reading the parts about my dad, and that's the only
part that I was like choking up. I was like, really,
because I didn't know how much it bothered me until
I wrote the book. I didn't know how much it
really just shaped my life and bothered me my whole
life until I wrote the book and then I was like, wow,
that was that really really bothered me?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah, that's real.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I had those issues with writing my first book because
with a lot of stuff about my mom before she
died and her and same, I was like I didn't
understand like how fundamentally, like even misunderstood I was to myself, Yeah,
until I like put it out and then I'm like, well,
I got to evaluate and then even debating on putting
(01:35):
it out, So putting it on paper or writing it
was the first set then going do I really want
to send this? Yes, and like having that conversation of
how on committing to it and then you're right, reading
it back was really hard.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
There was some that was tough with the dad stuff
was stuff, but there' stuff in the book where you know,
as you're writing it, you're writing it and you know
you're you're laughing or whatever, you're you're whatever, or you know,
but then when you read it.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Back a couple of times, you go, wow, wow, you
know crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Did you have a new appreciation for the younger version
of you at times who's gotten through some real serious
crab Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I really that was something that also happened. That's perfectly
saying I got a really more respect for me and
an appreciation for me because all the stuff, all the
negative stuff and the positive stuff, but all the stuff
that happens that happened when I was younger. Man, I
wouldn't go to let anything stop me from doing what
I wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And if it were another kid who you saw from you,
you'd be like, so proud of that freaking kid. You'd
be like, I cannot believe that kid's doing it. But
if it's us, we're like, no, we're just surviving. There,
We're you know, we're in the middle of it. We
don't really understand except survive absolutely, and.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So same for me.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I had.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's weird to say an appreciation for that kid who
got through.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Like all that crap.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Absolutely, and that book was a real therapeutic.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
That's that's exactly what it was. And that's one of
the reasons I wrote it. And I didn't even realize
that was one of the reasons to go once again,
you started writing, you start writing it, and you're reading
it back and stuff's coming in and you read.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
It and you're you're going wow, wow.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You know, you're proud of yourself, but you're also like, wow,
life really through some curveballs in there.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Did you ever get the the stage of as you're
writing it, like, man, I'm so over me, Like, I'm like,
nobody cares that much.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I mean, I went through all yeah, that's just like
I was, It's all about me.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I was writing about me and me and me.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I'm like, God, nobody cares.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I called Clarence, my manager, and said, dude, why are
we doing this. I was like, no one's going to
buy this book. Nobody cares about my life. I was like, dude.
And then you know, you're you're worried about some of
the stuff you're putt in. You're like and you're like,
am I really going to put.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
That in there?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
And then you put it in there and you're like,
nobody's going to care about that. You know, like even
even you know, now you know, I've written a book,
and I still like, no one's gonna care about.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
This same I had the same feeling, and I remember
being ashamed not of what I put in it, but
ashamed of the potential feelings I could have when people
were judging me.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
And so you're, yeah, that's oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
So you're you're at the stage now where people and
it's so different than music though, because you're going to
put out this book and you're gonna be like, all right,
I read it for people to tell me and take
us like forever to read a book, so you just
kind of they it's a slow roll of like people.
But there was a part in my first book where
my mom was struggling and she was a bad attic
and she had called and I started to make a
little bit of money and she was like, if you
don't give me money. I love my mom, so I'm
(04:22):
gonna say that. But there was a where she was like,
I'm going to do porn. And that was really heavy
and hard on me, but it was also it made
me realize how awful it was for her, and like
I knew, but I didn't really like yeah, but when
she called and threatened me, like I'm going to do
porn if you don't send me money. I had that
(04:42):
where I was like, I don't know if I should
put this in the book, but because of what I
had to develop, because so I put it in with
the context around it, and I thought people are going
to judge me, or people are going but That's the
thing when I would go do shows that people would
be like, not the exact same story, but fairly, that
people will be like. That's what I related to the most. Yeah,
(05:04):
And that was the part I felt that I was
going to be the judge the most on. Was that
type of stuff, Yeah, the really personal stuff absolutely. So,
the fact that you have those feelings like I'm proud
of you, because that means you put it out there.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Oh, I put it out there for sure. This is
one thing I talked about in the book where I
don't see my dad from the time I'm like thirteen
or fourteen till twenty eight, fifteen years Nope, not a word,
never saw its face.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
You know where it was, Yeah, fifteen minutes from my house.
You know, he lived right up the road.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
And never saw him fifteen years and then let him
it hits and things that start getting crazy.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
And we're playing.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
We're playing out a string of clubs and rooms that
we had booked and uh so we're playing in Charleston
at the King Street Palace, which used to be Charleston
County Hall, and I'm having dinner after soundcheck and he
walks in the room.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Do you know it's him, Yeah, Dean.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Dean knew it was him before I say anything, like Dean, Yeah,
Deana Basis. We're sitting there eating and Dean looks up
and goes, I mean he just looked at me. Oh
that's gotta be your daddy, looks just like it's like
it is. And he walks over and he talks to
me and actually really acts like you know. We saw
each other yesterday and I decided I'm going to be
the bigger man. And I was like, you know, cause
(06:20):
really you have so many conflicting things. I'm like, am
i gonna just blow this goulf? I'm gonna tell him?
What are you doing here? I've being seen you in
fifteen years?
Speaker 5 (06:26):
You know? Get away?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
No, I said, all right, I decided I was going
to be the bigger man. Try to develop some kind
of relationship with him. So we talked for a little
while and I give him my phone number. This before
cell phones. I give my phone number and go on
the road for a couple of days. And I get
back to my house and I checked my answer machine
and he's on my answer machine. And the first message
he left me in my whole life, I haven't talked
(06:50):
to him for fifteen years. He asked me for fifty
thousand dollars. It was shocking. I was like, are you
kidding me? And painful and expected me to give it
to him.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, and here you are hopefully investing yourself back into something.
And the first that's I like, that hurts my heart
because that's just that's so painful and I can unders
being mad and like I can't believe it, but also
big time.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
Because that's your freaking dad, and maybe and you know,
and when he came with I'll never forget like reading
reading back of course, like we were talking about it,
you know, therapeutic, and I'll never forget after him coming
and us going on the road, how I just felt like, Okay, cool,
now dad and I were going to have a relationship.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
We'll try to have some kind of salvage something for
father and son relationship out of this. And that was
the first thing he asked. He asked me, and I
don't think we've ever really had a conversation after that.
Speaker 8 (07:47):
Good cass up road, little food for yourself.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Behaved.
Speaker 8 (08:01):
It's pretty beautiful, man, beautiful that.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
A little more family because.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Said he k you're kicking out with Full Thing with
Amy Brown.
Speaker 9 (08:14):
Hey, it's Amy Brown from Four Things with Amy Brown.
And here's what we talked about this week on my podcast.
Do you have a load that you'd be willing to share?
Speaker 10 (08:23):
I have to go back to Christmas Eve of twenty thirteen,
at the beginning of the year, I'd made a promise
to myself that I would never spend another holiday season
alone on the streets. Up to that point, had done
practically everything I could think of to try.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
To get off the streets.
Speaker 10 (08:41):
As we've talked before, it's not easy and nobody can
do it alone.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
They've got to have help.
Speaker 10 (08:47):
And I was tired, and each day that went by
it seemed I was getting closer to that being the
life that I was going to live forever, and I
I couldn't handle that.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
I didn't want to handle that, I didn't want to
deal with it.
Speaker 10 (09:04):
So a little bit before the holiday season, I realized
that the promise I had made to myself at the
beginning of year not to spend another holiday season on
the streets, the only out I could see to keep
that from happening was to end it on my terms,
and so I checked in to Hallmark in on Trinity
(09:26):
Lane in Nashville, Tennessee. And that is done with a
sense of sarcasm. Because the room was nineteen dollars, I think,
so that tells you how luxurious it wasn't but it
was Hotel California for me. I was going to check
in and I had no desire to check out. I
had made the decision that I was going to end it,
(09:49):
and I was okay with that. I was calm to
a degree. But I realized that that's how far I
had sunk. But for the grace of God, I would
have succeed. People have asked me, and we've talked about it,
and well what happened? Well, I wish I could tell you,
because I went from sitting at that little table with
(10:10):
the pills in front of me, a few letters that
I had written to a few people, not knowing if
they would ever get them or read them. I was ready.
I was done hurting. I was done going to bed
at night, falling asleep, hoping I didn't wake up the
next morning. The next thing I know, I hear a
knock on the door and I'm startled. I'm shocked, and
(10:33):
I'm going, who's knocking at my door? Because nobody knew
I was there, and I had looked at the clock
earlier that was beside the bed, and it was nine
o'clock Christmas Eve, and I thought, good a time as
any well, when that knock on the door came and
it startled me. I was sitting there for a minute,
(10:54):
and then another knock followed it, only this time there
was a voice with the knock, and it said, sir,
are you staying or are you checking out? And as
I looked at the door, I caught the clock again
and it set eleven o'clock. But it wasn't eleven o'clock
(11:16):
Christmas Eve, it was eleven o'clock Christmas Morning, and I
was like, what the heck? I cleaned my language up.
I think I used something a little more colorful back then,
and I was kind of in a state of shock,
and I reached into my pocket and I pulled out
what money I had left, and I counted it out
(11:38):
and I said, I'm going to stay another night. I'll
come down and pay in just a minute. So I did,
and that was the beginning of my journey back. I
would like to tell you at that moment, that was
my come to Jesus minute.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
But it wasn't.
Speaker 10 (11:57):
I wasn't there yet because, as you know, knowing my past,
God and I did not get along for many, many years.
But it was the beginning and March of twenty fourteen,
I walked off the streets. So my lowest turned into
my highest, and I've not looked back. What I thought
was me giving up was really me letting go. And
(12:23):
it wasn't until I was ready to let go of
trying to fix things that God saw the opening and
he took it to fast.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
Forward you fourteen hours that you can't explain right right
where you're like, how did I get here?
Speaker 11 (12:38):
Right?
Speaker 10 (12:38):
And he took that opportunity. And I tell people now,
whether they're homeless or people that I counsel with and
people that I know that are down, I go. You
wanted to change, let go, let go of the past,
let go of the pain, let go of the hurt,
because until you do, there's no room for anything else.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
And there's got to be room.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
And thankfully, y'all, you were not successful no in twenty
and thirteen, because the lives you've been able to impact
since then are countless at this point. And you celebrated
your sixty eighth birthday this year. Thanks for reminding me, yes, yes, hey,
we got to celebrate that because you know, come a
(13:23):
long way, yes from that hotel room, which I think
is a perfect setup into another point that you posted
that really moved me, called sixty eight years of yesterday.
So I'd love for you to read that one.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
Next, sixty eight years of yesterday. There was a time
when the odds of me reaching this point weren't very good.
Yet here I am, and in the quiet early morning
hours before the sun puts a spotlight on this day,
I can't help but look back and try to put
my pass in perspective and ponder what may lay ahead.
(13:56):
I was so self absorbed that I never considered what
it would feel like to reach this stage of my life.
I never thought I would, and I wasn't sure I
wanted to. Most people spend decades preparing for their later years.
I spent that time living only for the moment, with
total disregard for the future. Now I find myself hoping
(14:19):
I'm around for a while longer. Did life go the
way I'd hoped or planned? I can't say, because I
wasn't much for doing either. I think that luxury disappeared
from my life when I was twelve. But as I
sit here and try to describe it, I'm transported through
the years on a whirlwind recollection that seems surreal at
(14:42):
best and unreal at worst. Regrets. Oh yeah, Still, I'm
blessed because I have lived long enough to change my story.
It wasn't until recently that I questioned or cared if
my existence would have counted for something. Would I pass
on without it having had a positive impact in this
(15:02):
world or leave having made a difference, even if just
in a very small way. I wasted so many years,
But I thank God for never giving up on me
and for allowing me time to hopefully make a difference.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
We're gonna do it live. Oh the one, two, three,
sore losers?
Speaker 8 (15:36):
What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most
about sports. I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions,
because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
It's Sison. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male.
I live on the North side of Nashville with Bayser,
my wife. We do have a farm. It's beautiful, a
lot of acreage, no animals, a lot of crops hopefully
soon corn pumpkins, rye. I believe a little fescue to
be determined. Over to you, coach.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
And here's a clip from this week's episode of The
Sore Losers. And here's a clip from one of and
here's a clip from one of the episodes this week
on the Sore Losers. Take this clip and play it
and betting. I guess if it's a push, you get
your money back. But in Vegas it's that roller coaster.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So if you went up to the ticket window and
they just gave you the same money you gave them,
it's not the bubbles. Rather lost it. It's sort of
like a sid It rips at you and then you go.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Let's double back and get some more baby honey to
the ATM.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
You either want to win or you want to lose,
and you want to be on the ground drunk reaching
for an airport bottle.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
It's like a hand of black jack. It's like the
emotional roller coaster that you're saying. You put, like, you
up your bet and let's say you go to fifty
dollars on that hand and you're like, okay, this is
you're betting twenty five a hand or whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
What's a minimum at the Aureo.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Oh, now it's the minimum in a lot of places.
Vegas is getting so expensive. And Brandon Hill he was
not happy with our Vegas advice. Uh, and he put
he goes, since the coachers are retired from Vegas, let
me give that guy suggestions. And he wrote out a
whole article and I said, hold on, we're not retired.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
We're hanging on. Yeah, that was depressing. We'll be back.
Speaker 8 (17:21):
Yeah, we're gonna make a special trip just to get
our name and our credentials back. Anyway, it's like a
hand of blackjack. You put fifty dollars out there, you
up your bet and you flip it over and you
get a twelve. You're like, oh my god, you gotta hit.
And the dealers showing nine.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Lunch is Tonia to not hit? Okay, buddy, thanks, I'll
decide And.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
I'm like, all right, gotta hit. And you get a three.
You're at fifteen. He still has nine. Got to hit again.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I'm hitting again. Then you get up. I don't eas
you to tell me I'll hit again. Then you get
an a. So now you're at sixteen. Oh my god,
I'm staying I'm staying. No, you can't stay at sixty. No, sir,
you're not telling me how to play. I'm staying at sixteen.
And then you hit again. No I said I was
staying at sixteen.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
And you get a three and you're like oh yeah,
or you get a four twenty and you're like twenty.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Hell yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
Like now the emotions because you started with a twelve,
you're like, oh, this is a losing hand because he
has nineteen. The dealer has nineteen, and you're like and
then you battle and battle and get those little cards
in little cards and you're like, oh, yeah, I got twenty.
Then they flip it over and they have a nine
and a six, so they have fifteen. You're like, oh
my god, okay, bus pus plus, I'm gonna bus bus
(18:32):
And then they flip over a five and you're like twenty.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Oh it's a push. It's a push.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
But the emotional roller coaster you just went on of
Oh I'm gonna lose too. Oh, up on the top,
I'm gonna win. Oh push h It's sort of like
that in the soccer game.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Ye're just giving me my money back. Awesome, I'll just
re bet. Thank you.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
Eye in the sky. It was just like our soccer game.
We were down three to two, then we think we're
up for three, but then it's back to three three
and we ended the sigh and it was just like, oh,
after thinking we scored the winning goal.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I know it sounds a little counterintuitive, but you want
to lose it or win it and then say every
another drink, honey, go to the ATM or high five,
high five, we won, we won. You look to your buddy.
Should we double down?
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Yeah, we pushed, man, That means we're gonna win the
next one. Let's should we.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Double this bet? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Okay, cool.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Hey, does your chick have any bananas left in her purse?
Give me a loaner and then I'll hit you guys
in the morning at brunch. Yeah yeah, Hey, man, does
your chick have another chip?
Speaker 11 (19:37):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Let me let me win that back. Yeah, and then
I'll get you guys. I'll get you back with that one.
And then yep, yep. Just give me a loaner. My
chick went to the ATM. Hey, give me a couple
of those green chips. Man, give me a couple of those. Man,
I'll get you back.
Speaker 8 (19:48):
I'll get you back Hey, can I those chips to
double down cot bar those chips?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Oh we lost.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Man.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
A normal life, you'd never do that. You would never
just lunch lunch, give me twenty and then I'm gonna play.
But in Vegas it's totally normal to just share. It's
just hey, let me hand out dollars all there. Here
you go, Here you go, Vegas. Your buddy's chick will
reach in her purse and throw you to twenty five
dollars chips, when in real life, she would never give
you fifty dollars. She'd be like, what what, Yeah to
(20:16):
pay for beer, give me fifty, and then when we
get to your house, I'll pay you fifty. Right, that
doesn't make any sense. Oh man, weird? All right, but
Vegas it's so yeah, yep, I got twenty five from
your chick. And then this stranger I've never met gave
me ten. I'm good, honey's going the atm what there's
a five dollars feet Oh so I lost five dollars.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
Hey, your one ever sent though, I'll give it to strangers,
strangers at the table.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
It's a loaner. One. Yeah, he loaned me, I'm loaning
him back. And then you go to the ATM and
then we'll all get pay each other.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Bash.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Stranger at the day was like, man, I don't have
any more money to double down? Oh here you want
to bar twenty five?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Man? Oh really?
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Yeah? Cool?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I mean why would I do that?

camaraderie of the the camaraderie, camaraderie of the table.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
You gotta Oh yeah, man, here's twenty five. Man, don't
worry about it. Yeah, just double down that.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Hey, it's Mike d And this week on Movie Mike's
Movie Podcast, my wife Kelsey and I broke down the
top ten best selling DVDs of all time. This episode
is jam packed with two thousands of nostalgia, and I
don't know about you, but I'm in desperate need for
two thousand nostalgia right now, So if you want to
be transported into that time, be sure to check out
this full episode. We also gave a spoiler free review
(24:30):
of the new comedy movie Babes, and I broke down
why legendary director Francis Ford Coppola is spending one hundred
and twenty million dollars of his own money to put
out his own movie this year, So be sure to subscribe.
But right now, here's just a little bit of Movie
Mike's Movie Podcast. At number six is Shrek to selling
eight point two million copies. Came out back in two
(24:52):
thousand and four, just celebrated it's twentieth anniversary and they
re released that thing in theaters a great DVD.
Speaker 12 (24:58):
And just talked about it having Shrek guy, you know,
I owned it.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I would say of all the DVD actually, Shrek doesn't
make the list.
Speaker 13 (25:05):
That came out a few years earlier, so I feel
like that was probably still on VHS because I think
even like the first Harry Potter movie I ever had
was on VHS and that was like two thousand and one. Yeah,
so I don't think the switch really came into like
late two thousand two. Yeah, that lines up, so, yeah,
Shrek two would have been the one that was bigger.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
And I feel like people like Shrek two more than
Part one. I'm more of a Part one.
Speaker 12 (25:28):
Shrek was the revolutionary.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
It was so huge at the time it came out.
Speaker 13 (25:32):
Please stay off of the grass, shine your shoes, wipe
your face, all.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Of the adult jokes like that one. The other one
I didn't realize people didn't pick up on was the
fact that Lord Farquhaad killed one of the parents of
the bears. Like at one point you see the family
of bears and you see them missing the mom bear,
and then later you see him and he has like
this rug that is a bear. So it was all
these things happening. Also in the background is like these
(25:57):
second subplot jokes that was kind of level for that time.
Speaker 13 (26:01):
I think that's the only reason, like my parents enjoyed
taking me to kids movies because there were jokes someone
over my head that they would laugh at.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
That's what started that, and now is the thing of
putting in jokes for the parents so that they can
enjoy them too. That's got started with Shrek getting into
the top five. Now from two thousand and nine, Avatar
selling nineteen million copies. I feel like at two thousand
and nine, DVD sales were starting to dip a little
bit because you had HDDVD, you had Blu rays starting
(26:29):
to become a little bit more prevalent. So I'm surprised
it's this high on the list, but also makes sense
just because how big Avatar was, how it crushed crazy
box office numbers, so I feel like that probably translated
into a lot of DVD sales. But I didn't really
see this movie making the top five.
Speaker 12 (26:49):
If I never saw Avatar again in my life.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
The original or any of them, because they original they
have three, four five coming out more.
Speaker 12 (26:57):
The original, I didn't really I would be fine.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I didn't really understand it at the time. I thought
it was way over hyped, and it wasn't until The
Way of Water came out that I went back rewatched
that one and I kind of got it again, and
I enjoyed the Way of Water in theaters.
Speaker 12 (27:10):
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
It is very long, there's a lot going on, but
I can also respect the big action adventure like I
was talking about in Pirates of the Caribbean, Avatar goes
next level.
Speaker 13 (27:22):
Now in my head, I'm confusing Avatar two and Black
Panther sequel because they both had people in the water.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, movies have been doing that a lot recently.
Speaker 12 (27:32):
Which one had like the sound paralysis.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
That was Black Panther two. Okay, yeah, well, I mean
we also had three monkey movies this year, a lot
of monkeys. Whenever a trends starts, it just keeps going.
We had Monkey Man, Kong and Godzilla, and then we
had Plant of the Apes, a lot of monkey movies.
At number four from two thousand and eight is The
Dark Knight, selling nineteen point two million copies. I remember
(27:57):
getting a copy of this on Black Friday. My mom
and I used to always go to Walmart and Target
and the only thing I would seek out was cheap DVDs.
Speaker 13 (28:08):
I bought a couple sets of Gilmore Girls on DVD
on Black Friday. But my mom and I had this
thing where we'd go to Target, and we'd find ourselves
just like grocery shopping.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
On accident during Black Friday.
Speaker 12 (28:19):
Yeah, we'd end up.
Speaker 13 (28:20):
With like popcorn and toilet paper in the basket, and
the people like, you know these aren't on Salem.
Speaker 12 (28:24):
We're like, no, we know, we just were already here.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
We're just looking around.
Speaker 12 (28:28):
Yeah, it's not really a thing anymore.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
It used to be fun to go. And aside from
finding movies. I remember getting The Dark Knight and it
was the Batman head where it was just in the
shape of the Batman mask and you'd open it up
and have a DVD on either.
Speaker 12 (28:42):
Side, kind of surprice. You don't still on that.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I think somewhere in all the moves in Austin it
got lost, or maybe we sold it at some point
when we sold a bunch of our DVDs. There was
a time when my brother and I kind of separated
all of our collections, so maybe he kept it. He
probably still has it. That was always my mission going
to Black Friday is finding the cheap DVDs because you
could find them for like sixty seventy percent off and
(29:07):
they would.
Speaker 13 (29:07):
Put out the like circular and they would tell you
which DVDs were going to be cheap.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
And they would just have them in like the big Gold.
Speaker 12 (29:15):
Now Black Friday sales start on like October first.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
And it's not the same as all online. You don't
have that interaction with people. You don't have people well,
I guess you don't have people hurting each other anymore
as much, which is probably good.
Speaker 12 (29:25):
That was the thing too, Yeah, the craze.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
But aside from movies, I would always get the Simpsons
box sets, which are normally were like thirty forty bucks.
You could get them for like ten bucks. And I
had from season one all the way through probably fourteen
or fifteen, all on box set because I could get
it for so cheap.
Speaker 12 (29:44):
I'm glad you don't still on this.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I think Rudy still has my brother keep those Rudy
Classic collection. At number three from two thousand and two
is Spider Man, selling nineteen point five million copies. This
was another one I didn't actually own, but I had
a bootleg copy of it. It was part one and
part two. Part one I got a bootleg copy in America,
but part two I got a bootleg copy in Mexico.
Speaker 12 (30:08):
Was it in Spanish?
Speaker 3 (30:09):
It was in Spanish.
Speaker 13 (30:10):
I'm sad you don't know that. I mean, it probably
has computer viruses and we don't have anything.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
To watch it with.
Speaker 13 (30:14):
But I would watch a bootleg version of Spider Man
in Espanol.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
There were a lot of movies I got as bootleg
copies in Mexico, and for the most part it was
people sneaking in a video camera into the theater and
recording it. That was one of those. So every now
and then it would shake or you hear somebody came.
Speaker 12 (30:31):
When they'd have the anti pirrating lot at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
It was so hardcore. You wouldn't steal a car, but
why would you steal a DVD?
Speaker 12 (30:38):
This is unlocking so many memories.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
But I remember getting The Spider Man two in Spanish,
Passion to the Christ in Spanish. Probably shouldn't have got
a bootleg copy of that. Looking back on that, there's
probably some weird association with getting a bootleg copy of Past.
Speaker 12 (30:55):
To the Christ sing that on one.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I also got Gothica, which was a horror movie with
Holly Berry. And then I got a documentary, probably Michael
Moore documentary. Oh no, no, Michael Moore. It was The
Supersized Me. It was just funny to say supersize it
was great. So all those movies I experienced for the
first time watching them on my portable DVD player in
(31:18):
Mexico with all my Mexican cousins hanging around.
Speaker 12 (31:20):
The Passion of the Christ is still really staid to me.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
My mom could not watch that movie that it was
hard for her to watch.
Speaker 12 (31:27):
It's just just the fact that it was bootleg.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Maybe that's why she did enjoyed it. She's like me, Oh,
this isn't right.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Caver, She's a queen talking.
Speaker 11 (31:58):
It was.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
She get not afraid to face episode, So just let
it flow.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
No one can do we quiet Calne is sounding Caroline.
Speaker 14 (32:13):
Hey, y'all, it's Caroline Hobby from Get Real with Caroline Hobby.
And here is a clip from this week's episode. And
when I look at someone like you, and I was
actually talking to Bobby Bones about this in the parking
lot with you before you got here, it's like you
are that artist who has gone so hard. Like when
I think of you, I just think of like you
(32:34):
just in it. You're just in this grind, this hustle,
this passion, this going NonStop, like you have never stepped
off the break. You're always coming back figuring it out,
Like you haven't quit, you haven't let up because you're
so great and it's just a matter of time of
the right pieces connecting. And I say this about a
thousand horses too. I'm like, they haven't. They have a
(32:55):
switchboard and their switchboard. It's it's like it's a great
operating system. Just the wires been all crossed a little bit,
and finally I feel like they're getting in the right places.
And like with you, it's like you are this incredible
operating machine that is so impactful and is so authentically
just like epic, Like it's just like you are one
of the legendary singers. Like you are a legendary singer.
(33:17):
It's just like your moment I feel like is coming
right now because all of your backstory to get you
to right here, which is this album. No one gets
out alive. I'm like, and it's going to keep building. Obviously,
it's not like one one moment can't change everything. But
like I'm like, you are here, like it is here,
your operating system is aligned, you got your team in place.
(33:38):
You signed with Big Loud Records and they're so known
for like supporting the artist as the artist and not
changing the artists.
Speaker 11 (33:44):
Progressive. I mean, I have this album done before I
signed with them, and they fully embraced what I was doing,
and I was like, well that is those are rogues,
Like that's a Maverick kind of team that's going to
get behind you. But the wires crossing, like I had,
I had a little bit to do with those wires
(34:06):
being crossed in the beginning, just like even you know,
we're trying to talk about how I even got here
and like how Tommy were told. Like I can't even
tell you in a straight line how that first part happens.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
It was just spaghetti.
Speaker 11 (34:18):
Part of it might be just like my brain even
protecting me from the beginning of that. But I don't
take my foot off the gas because like this is
the time now, That's what this whole album is about.
It's like no one gets out alive. We have a
finite amount of time to get it absolutely.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Why do you have that urgency?
Speaker 11 (34:39):
I just I feel like I've been here long enough.
I know now who I am. I believe in what
I'm doing. I'm not doubling down. I'm not tripling down.
This is the fourth album that I'm like I still
am here, and I still feel like I should be here,
and I have so much more like to do, and
(35:02):
I certainly think I have plenty of time to do
all sorts of things, but like I'm not. I don't
want to take a break right now. I don't. I
didn't want to take a break when the pandemic happened.
What did you do presented that you did?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Yes, what happened to you during the pandemic? How did
that affect you mentally in your career?
Speaker 11 (35:20):
I think, you know, I had a little bit of
an identity crisis of like if I'm not performing, who
am I in?
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Like?
Speaker 5 (35:28):
Right?
Speaker 11 (35:29):
What I'm used to having like one hundred some dates
a year and they were just canceled overnight. And I
had relationships that were friendships, but also there was a
work component. When that was removed, there was like.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
What is the friendship now?
Speaker 5 (35:43):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:44):
And is that where some of the loss with friendships
came from?
Speaker 14 (35:46):
Yeah, and realized who was really a friend and who
was just kind of in it for the It's.
Speaker 11 (35:52):
More I feel like it's it's more complicated than that,
you know. I think that a lot of people needed
to be they needed to feel valuable and I probably
couldn't provide that in the way that you know, I
used to be able to. So I don't I don't
think that it's like, oh, you see who your friends are.
It's not that simple to me. I think that there
(36:12):
was a lot of pressure that all these relationships had
to sustain. That's so hard to untangle now. And that's
one of the reasons that with this current project, like
these songs are so personal because I wasn't collaborating the
same way that I was on previous projects. I was
(36:32):
writing not from the collective we. I was writing from
the I'm going through this.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
And so this is your you, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 11 (36:39):
This I had to And you know, I also, like
my best friend's dad died, and my uncle had an aneurism,
and my husband's uncles passed away. Like we went through
a lot of loss as a family. And there was
just that beauty too of like cut this is getting
older sucks and like you were confirmed with these inevitable
(37:02):
losses that happen. You know, people went through addiction issues.
I had friends getting divorced, like just the I feel you,
the sheene, the like patina of all the like things that.
Speaker 12 (37:15):
I thought were so perfect really wore off.
Speaker 11 (37:18):
And I also started this podcast, which was so fun,
but it was it was like I was throwing my
life and focus into all these different guests and hearing
about their experiences and like, oh, this person's got the
best career ever, there are no problems in the world,
and hearing about their loss and it was just it
(37:39):
became like a really eye opening, sobering time for me.
Speaker 14 (37:44):
Was that healing to hear about other artist losses that
you had kind of idolized and thought it was such
a That's what this podcast has done to me is
this made me realize, oh, my god, everybody's got every
chaos and trauma and so many hard knocks, and it's
all about how you knowavigated yes, and you think.
Speaker 11 (38:01):
About that career, what a storied career, that's exactly the
one I want. And then you get into it a
reveal to you just how incredibly heavy some of the
things are in their life. And I think it seems
so simple to just try and have empathy for everyone.
Speaker 10 (38:17):
You don't know what anyone's going.
Speaker 11 (38:18):
Through, but just to hear it bold faced in like detail,
I think was it was there was a moment where
like I was like, Okay, I'm sort of morphing into
maybe not like this always happy, go lucky person, which
I always would have characterized myself as before the pandemic,
(38:41):
and I sort of embraced that. And even on the
last song of this record, we have a reprise. It's
called another Sad Song, and it's like, sorry if this
is another sad song that no one's going to hear,
and they say that's the best way to kill a career,
but like, I'm going to write what I feel.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
There's a lot right there.
