Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hey guys, hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I hope
you had a good weekend. Sunday Sampler Time clips from
some of the podcasts here on the Nashville Podcast Network,
and this week's Bobby Cast, a compilation of stories of
famous people meeting other famous people, like Houser meeting DiCaprio
on Killers of the Flower Moon, Darius Rucker performing with
Algreen is a really cool one. So we're gonna get
(00:29):
to Amy's and Carolines and the Sore Losers. But let's
start with this from the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Well, how did you and Blake become friends?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Because it seems like you other pretty close? We were,
and it are we still are?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
You know? I don't Blake had got here before I did.
Blake was working on his career long before, not long before,
but a few years before I got here, and so
he had started having some radio success and we literally
met at some event in Nashville and just started hanging out.
And then he had lived in Hickton County and I
(01:09):
was in Dixon, so we weren't that far apart. Both
realized that we liked hunting. I invited him on a
hunting trip. On a trip that I was doing in Kansas.
I'm sorry, yeah, in Kansas. And at that trip we
became like we were buddies. I knew right then that
(01:29):
I liked the guy, and we were both kind of
like I said, he had already had a couple of
songs on the radio, and then I started having some
success at Broken Bow, and then we just stayed in touch.
I mean at one point we were we were with
each other.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
All the time.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Every time we could do something together, we would. And
then he got divorced from Cat and he and Miranda
got me married. And I had known Miranda a little bit, uh,
and really thought that Miranda and I had a decent relationship.
And she used to tell a story about how she
came to Fanfair and it was one of my early
(02:13):
on first two or three years of Fanfare when he
still called it Fanfair, you know, And she tells the story,
and I remember her telling me that how she waited
after the show to meet some of the artists and
that I came out and was the only one that
came out afterwards and gave her an autograph. Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
And so I thought, man, this is gonna be awesome.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
You know, my buddy's marrying this girl who's turned into
an artist of her own right and turn in this.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
You know it's great, But something.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Happened when them two got married, and I don't know,
she was no longer a Craig Morgan fan for some reason.
You know, I don't know, but you know that's history.
And here we are now.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I remember when you were doing the Offery Blake, when him,
I think him and Gwen were playing from his ranch.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I think, yeah, I was there.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I've just I've done opry shows in the past year.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
But was he setting you up?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Were you setting him up?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Are you going back and forth?
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Always?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's yeah, it's horrible. I will tell you though. We
uh uh.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
When my son died a lot of my friends uh
in this business came out there and I had, man,
I gained so much respect and admiration. Already loved all
these people. But it's really weird.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
And Jerry was with me. It's weird when I know
them and I love them and they're I consider them friends.
But when a guy like Tray s Atkins, Blake, Shelton,
Jim and Brown and John Colleen, these guys show up
at at my son's funeral and they stand in line
with everyone else out there, asked nothing, didn't want to
(03:54):
come in early. You know, it just man, it just
floored me. And when I'll never forget, we were we
were downstairs and Cecy had come in and was talking.
She sang it my son's funeral, and uh, you know,
I'm trying to. I'm trying to.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I don't know have a sense of.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I wanted to comprehend my people and and and them
to know that I appreciate them being there. But I
remember Blake coming in and we cried, you know, we
cried together, and he hugged me, and I felt such
an embrace of friendship from him. Uh, And I knew.
I knew then that there was nothing that Blake or
(04:39):
I could do that would sever that friendship.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It wouldn't happen.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
And I also, at that moment, became Gwenn's biggest fan.
I had met Gwen via FaceTime a few times when
Blake and I were together, and he was like giddy,
silly and love face timing her and we would, uh,
we would lay there to together and sit and talk
to Gwynn or her own FaceTime, you know, and I
really liked her. But I didn't really know her. But
(05:07):
when he came in the room, I said, where's Gwen?
And you know, was she not able to come? He said, no,
she's outside. She was being respectful and she did not
want to come in until she was invited in.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
And I just met. I thought, my.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Lord, you know, if she came in and she too,
like cried and hugged my wife and showed her such
an embrace of friendship and kindness and warmth, and it
just absolutely hammered me in I've never experienced anything from
her but that since, you know, when we're at the
award shows and he's like, let's get out of here
for a few minutes, and we go out to the
bus and hang out, and they just He's in such
(05:43):
a beautiful place with her that I've never seen and
I love that.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I love it. Now.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Having said all that, I can text Blake on Monday,
April the first, and it might be Monday, June first
when I heard from he is the worst man. And
then I'll get nothing a picture of him flipping me
a bird or something, you know. But yeah, so we've
been friends for a long time. I mean, he came
(06:09):
out when I did reading that yacht club. And I
remember when.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
We did read in that yacht club.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
He had a huge hit and even you know, just
to show you how weird this businesses. I remember talking
to Blake, him going, man, I don't know if this
is going to work. I don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I'm like, you got a big, huge hit?
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
You know?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
And he's like, yeah, but you just don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And now you look, where is that?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
You know?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
It's just it's wonderful.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Hey, it's Mike d.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
And this week I'll movie my movie podcast. I shared
my top five tub fines. These are movies you can
watch for free at home on the You have to
be on your phone, on your tablet, on your computer,
wherever you have it. Not a commercial. I just wanted
to share with you a service. I found some really
good movies on and you don't have to pay a dime.
You do have to watch some commercials, but just the
heads up there there's some good stuff on there. So
(06:57):
check out just a couple of my picks, and be
sure to check out the full episod a Movie Mike's
Movie Podcast to hear my top five at number two
on the TV list is Blow, starring Johnny Depp Penelope Cruise.
I remember watching this movie way too young, because it
came out in two thousand and one.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
I was ten years old.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
I remember the DVD for Blow that it was like
a silver case with Johnny Depp laying down, Penelope Cruise
laying down like on top of him, resting her hand
on his stomach. And I didn't know what Blow even
meant before watching this movie as a kid. It's about
cocaine and Johnny Depp plays a character named George Young,
(07:37):
who is most famous for being Pablo Escobar's right hand man.
And I thought this was the coolest movie growing up
because it's all about how he goes from being a
poor kid. His parents are struggling financially and that leads
them to fighting with each other. His dad is played
by Ray Liotta, and a fantastic thing that this movie
(07:59):
does create a really great backstory really quickly by showing
you his life as a kid, But even before you
get to that, it starts out kind of telling you
how it's gonna end. It is Johnny Depp as an
adult telling you his inmate number, and then you flash
back to him getting started in the drug business. But
(08:21):
it all goes back to him as a kid hearing
his parents argue and thinking, I don't want to be
like that. I got to make something of myself. I
got to leave here and find out how to find
my place in the world, how to make money because
I don't want to be broke like them. And what
does he do. We start selling weed in California, and
selling weed is a gateway drug for him to selling cocaine,
(08:43):
and he is really good at it, but there are
a lot of problems that come from being a drug dealer.
So while it does focus a lot on that story
of how he rose to power, how at one point
in the late seventies to early eighties or anybody you
know did cocaine in that time period, there was an
(09:03):
eighty percent chance that it came from him and Pablo Escobar.
He made about one hundred million dollars working with the cartel.
And yes, on the surface, it is a story about that,
just cocaine, drug dealing.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
All the downfalls of that.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
But at the root of this story that I felt
rewatching him, I felt the true emotion of somebody who
just didn't want to repeat history. And you very much
connect with that aspect of his life, and Ray Liota
Rip did a fantastic job as his dad. His dad
just wanted the best for him and wanted him to
(09:40):
have a good life and was always supportive of his
son no matter what he did, no matter how many
times he ended up in jail, even when he was
inviting him to their house, and he knew that this
was all a product of him selling drugs and being
a criminal. He was always supportive of his son. His
mom not so much. But it was Johnny Depp's character
(10:02):
just trying not to relive that history. And this movie
has one of the saddest endings that punches you in
the gut in a very unique way because it is
not your typical sad ending. But when you really think
about all he went through in this movie, all he
wanted in lives, the things that made him happy, it
is so sad. If I had a heart that wasn't
(10:24):
made of stone, I'd probably cry while rewatching this movie.
But Blow is a fantastic movie. There is nothing bad
that I would take out of it. There's nothing I
would change, and it holds up. I loved it when
I was ten, I love it now. That I'm thirty three.
I give blow a five out of five, and at
number one in my top five to b fines is
a movie called The Founder. It is the true story
(10:45):
of Ray Kroc, played by Michael Keaton, started out as
a struggling salesman from Illinois and went on to be
who we know as the founder of McDonald's. Yes, McDonald's
the Golden Arches, and it's all about how he did it.
And even though he is credited being the founder, oh,
that is not the whole story, because I'll just read
(11:08):
from the plot synopsis. Because it is history, you could
google it and find out exactly what happened. And from
my research on this story, overall, this movie is pretty accurate.
They changed a couple details here and there, but nothing major.
Because that is why sometimes I don't watch these biographical dramas,
because they change things so much that it's like, hey,
(11:29):
that's not even what happened. And I thought this movie
was kind of gonna focus so much on how revolutionary
McDonald's was and how novel it was, but it really
focuses more on oh, the seat, the cruel nature of business,
the backstabbing, the drama that comes with that. The money
that comes with that, and it led me to feel
(11:52):
a different way about McDonald's, not in a bad way.
I don't think McDonald's is at any fault in this movie.
It doesn't make the franchise self look bad.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
It just changed.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Exactly how I view business and it just happens to
be through the vehicle of McDonald's. Ray meets the actual
McDonald's brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, who are running a
burger operation in southern California back in the nineteen fifties.
And the reason I even discovered this movie and decided
I want to watch it and found it on two
(12:23):
B is I actually saw a clip of it on
TikTok that was I was like, where is this even from?
But it's Michael Keaton going up to the first McDonald's
and being so fascinated on how fast they make is food.
And what the McDonald's brothers did is they developed something
called the speedy system. They are really the ones who
(12:44):
created fast food because they wanted to set themselves apart
from all the other restaurants, which in the fifties it
was either had to go in, sit down and order,
but there were a lot of downfalls with that. They
wanted to take all of those factors out, that you
would just walk up, order your food and within seconds
they could hand it to you, which is exactly what happens.
(13:06):
And then a clip I saw on TikTok It is
Michael Keaton going up ordering a burger, ordering a fries,
and ordering a drink and then being so shocked when
they hand it to him and they're like here you go,
and he's like, what do I Where do I eat it?
Speaker 5 (13:19):
They're like, wherever you want?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Where's the plates, where's the silverware?
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Well, you just eat it out of the wrapper and
then you throw it away. That to us now is
just so normal.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Has been a part of our lives forever.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
But to see that showcased in the Founder, where people
didn't know how to consume fast food, was what sucked
me into this movie. And that happens pretty early on.
So this movie will give you a much different perspective
on McDonald's, again, not really in a bad way. You'll
just kind of think of like, oh, that is how
they operate, that is what they do, and it seems
so obvious, but it's something you don't really think about
(13:53):
because you go there just trying to get a big
Mac or getting some chicken nuggets, or frustrated because the
ice cream machine is never working. They don't have to
star in this movie, by the way, but for the founder,
I would easily give it a four point five out
of five. I love finding hidden gems like that.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
We're gonna do it live. Oh the one, two, three,
Sore Losers.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most
about sports, so I'll give you the sports facts, my
sports opinions because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
It's Sison. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male.
I live on the North side of Nashville with Baser,
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 maybe a little fescue
to be determined. Over to you, coach.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
And here's a clip from this week's episode of The
Sore Losers.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Speaking of kids, Hey, you were freestyle in some country rapped.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
There that was actually pretty good? Are you kind of
reminded me of my friend Big Smoe? Check it out?
I got an out now big smoke.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Oh, we're kicking it in the country.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
So yesterday I'm in watching some TV and Baby Box
comes in and goes Dad, Dad. I'm like what, and
he goes, one of my brothers missed the toilet. They
missed the potty, And I'm like, what do you mean.
He's like, there's p all over the ground. I'm like, well,
I don't know. Boys, comara, boys, Hey, who which one
(15:37):
of you guys missed the toilet?
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Who?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Not me? Not me?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Not me?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Not me?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
It wasn't me.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
It wasn't me.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
No one taking responsibility right, no one.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
It carries over into the business world.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
So Baby Box looks at him and goes, guys, let's
go in the bathroom. Maybe you'll recognize it.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Wait, who's dribble?
Speaker 5 (15:58):
He thinks they're gonna recognize their pee and then admit
to it. He looks sentitive and he goes he goes, brothers,
let's go, let's go look at it. Maybe you'll recognize it.
It's just like as such a lap out loud moment,
because he was really thinking, Okay, if we go in
the bathroom, they'll recognize it. Oh, that's their pee, like
(16:21):
their p looks any different than his P, and his
P looks different than my P. Huh, hilarious dad moment,
And I just wanted to share it with you because
I thought it was so fun.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
What he doesn't realize is all p looks same, from
homeless to billionaire.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
All got a pee, everybody pee is the same. It's
either yellow or it's white. I mean, either you're really
hydrated or you're dehydrad It's one of the two.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
But now it's if you got its neon, that means
you're drinking your electrolyte. So it's kind of counterintuitive.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Really.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah, if it's if it's a good color like that,
that means you're hydrated and you've also I.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Thought if it was white, that means you're hydrated.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I mean, white just means you drink a crapload of water.
Slow it down, you're drinking whatever you're doing, beer, wine, water,
iced tea. It's too much. Tone it down. Oh okay,
But I mean when you wake up after a night
of drink and that's the gross color.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah, that's when it's really dark.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
That's when. Yeah, guys, I'm gonna tone it down a
little bit. Uh, I needn't find some water or something
because what I just saw. I'm not a scientist, I'm
not a urologist, but wasn't good. All right, I'm gonna
go find some p D late he yo, we'll see
an a minute.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
I mean, they do like it when they go to
the doctor and they get to pee in the cup.
I think that's the coolest thing too.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Never understood that because the cuff never big enough.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Well that's the one thing. Is like, we went the
other day because my baby Box two was saying it
hurt when he peed, and so I thought maybe, oh,
he's got an infection of some sort. So we go
to the doctor and the doctor's like, all right, you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Have to go.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Peanut cut goes. I get to pee in a cop.
I get to pee in a cup. And we go
in the bathroom and I'm holding the cup there and
then I'm like and I pulled away and goes Dad,
it's not all the way full. I'm like, dude, he
doesn't need the whole thing full. He goes, but I
still got more pee. I'm like, well, you can pee
in the toilet. You don't have to stop.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
They had one there for you.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they provide a cup you don't bring
it home, you don't peegmore the toilet. Well, what the
hell do you think you think they just you don't
have a toilet.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Was it in the doctor's office or you guys went
in the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Well, they give us the cup and then they go
into the bathroom and then, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
We only do our physicals once a year, and let's
be real, half the times they've come here to our office.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
I gotta be honest, I gotta get my physical today, Dude.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I miss those times they'd roll in. We thought it
was all just ass grabbing and butt slaps, but now
we got to go find a doctor, find you a physical,
get like ten different blood tests. What happened when they'd
come into our conference room and then do it on
a table that you used to sit next to, market
next to, And then the following day you're testing your
blood and peeing in a cup.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Yeah, today I have to go. I have to pee
in the cup. Probably I have to get my balls
grabbed and a cough and I figure they they're gonna
draw my blood. I don't know what all they're gonna
do it a physically. Are you feeling okay? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Good?
Speaker 5 (18:57):
You tired? Yeah, anything else in other health concerns not cool.
And then I guess I passed the test.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
But the key is, guys, this is too much inside baseball.
But let's be real, you're on the open road.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Oh we did get a message, dude, hold on.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Who gives a hell? Okay, So the physical thing, you've
got to actually be careful because dude, I went to
a Walgreens and you do all this testing and then
it ended up not even translating over to our health
insurance because the Walgreens didn't do my height and weight.
So then I had to hit up our friend Tracy
and I go, hey, Tracy, you're a doctor, right, and
she goes, yeah, I said this. Walgreens said they can't
(19:31):
officially do my weight and my company requires it, so
can I just come over and you weigh me? And
she's like, is this a joke? Are you serious? And
I'm like yeah, and then I need you to just
sign it and she goes okay, And it worked. But
you've got to make sure that they'll do all that
stuff on the form because I had to go to
three different offices two to three hundred dollars all to
get an insurance benefit. It's probably not even three hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
You're probably wasting more money going to get it than
you are saving. Because I did love it. When they
came to the office, they pick your finger, boom boom,
in and out in five minutes.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
It was so fast. Dude, is this mutt yo?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Is that Mike gone?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Dude? This thing sucks yo yo yo. I don't know, dude,
I swear kiddie put it on a weird setting.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
It does it sounds weird. Thanks for all the shout outs. Ray,
I'm an OTR trucker, but I do drive trucks quite
often for the oil field. I'll hit the air horn
for you. That's from Keith Dye.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Oh, and I was supposed to give a shout out
if we're doing that. I didn't know where this is
a birthday line.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Here's another one. Loading up the big rig and listening
to the pod on the road. Thanks for the entertainment, boys.
It's Billy Minnow nailed it.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Jacob Kirby on Instagram. He goes, hey, coach, how hard
is it to get a shout out on the pod?
Done over to you man, man.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
We're just thankful for the listeners. I mean it's Thanksgiving week,
and I mean the holidays are here. Ray's going to Vegas.
I'll be stuck at my house doing nothing in the
freezing ass cold. But yeah, so happy Thanksgiving. We are
thankful for you. We're thankful you're coming to the convention.
We're thankful you listen, and I am. We're gonna be
thankful as you sit around your Thanksgiving dinner and you
tell at least one person and you're a family, your
(21:11):
extended family. You should check out the sore losers. We'd
really appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Man, Hey, uncle Bill, I love you. Man, never told
you that before.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Hey Bill, I know something that you're really gonna like.
It's these two idiots. They do this podcast. It's not
that organized. It's not very good. Sometimes they don't think
their MIC's are working, sometimes their headphones aren't working. But
I think it'd really bring us closer together. Bill, if
you listen to that, we call each other once a week,
can talk about the pod. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I listened the other day, and I think my laugh
track has been a little loud, So I'm trying to
realize what level it needs to be at. Is that
two inside baseball? Yes, yes it is, but I don't
want to blow people's ear out. Because when I had
it on, my nephew calls it the monster truck. I
was in the monster truck, dude, and I had the
base on and all that. That laugh truck was loud.
(22:01):
If you were next to me, you probably thought I
killed somebody.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
It was.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
It was alarmingly kneed jrkloud. So now I've right, I'm
gonna just ride it down here, you know, like just
right here. That seems like that's what I'm saying. But dude,
I don't know man acoustics, audible levels. I ain't no dolphin. Man,
they gotta done sonar on what are we talking about?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Man?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Hello, Oh my god, we're gonna take a break.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
It's Thanksgiving week, so it's a very special episode of
Take this personally. I'm bringing on my parents, Mom and
Dad aka Terry and Jeanette.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
Hi, Mom and Dad, I'm Morgan Morgan.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
Well, I want to talk to you as being my
parents and what it was like with me as a child,
but not only that, as you guys raised four daughters,
and I often get asked you why I have two
middle names. Do you guys have the logic behind the
two middle names.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Oh, well, you don't have the name I wanted to
give you. So I lost out on that.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
Too, on all of them, I thought you had some
of them.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
When your older sister, Taylor was born, I wanted to
use the middle name of Elizabeth because that was that's
my grandmother's name, and I wanted to pass that name down.
We had not passed down any of the family names yet,
and so I wanted to name her. We wanted the
first name of Taylor, and so it became Taylor Elizabeth. Well,
Elizabeth Taylor was still, you know, someone everyone could was
(23:43):
familiar with at that point in time, and I was like,
I can't do that. It sounds like it's backwards for
Elizabeth Taylor. So I love the name Lee spelled l eigh.
So we decided to name her Taylor Lee Elizabeth to
separate them. And so then when you came along and
you were a girl, we we uh, we had decided
on Morgan if you were a girl, but we had
(24:05):
not decided on the middle name. And I wanted it
to be Lane and Dad wanted it to be Nicole.
And so we decided, since Taylor had two middle names,
that you should have two middle names, so it became Morgan, Lane.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Nicole, and neither one of those were the names you wanted. Dad.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, like I said, I wanted to be Nicole. However,
we did talk only time and name and you shouldny
because I was a victionn wlayne back when I told
your mom and she's cranged and where did that come from?
But I didn't went out either, mom.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
You didn't know who she and I Twain was.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Yeah, but she was just coming on the scene I think,
and she wasn't not like everybody did, and so it
was kind of an unusual name. So yeah, I tried.
Speaker 8 (24:50):
Well, I mean, and that ended up being one of
my favorite country artists of all time and.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
The first concert ever that you country concert that.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
You went to.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
Yeah, I do still remember my first concert very well
because I touched in I Twin's hand and she had
her Leopard outfit on.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
That was a big deal and you were never going
to wash your hand again.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
You guys went through uh some times with some of
my my ex boyfriends in particular, some of them were
super crazy. So was there a period there where you're like, dang,
we really hope she stops dating.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Well, I could tell you The one time that I
had was woke up in the middle of the night
and somebody was driving through the front lawn trying to
tear up all the grass, and I run out the
front door my underwear trying to chasing down and got
drugged down the street. Yeah, I predict their instance and
had strawberries all over my body.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
That was probably one of the worst instances. Yeah, he
was definitely crazy and this kid was and so yeah,
but looking back now, Dad's reaction wasn't clearly probably the
right choice. But high school antics from some of these
boys we just laugh about. I mean, from them putting
(26:05):
what in our.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
Pool the lobster and our.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
Bolsters in our pool just ran wrapping our pool furniture
to pitchforking the yards.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
And oh yeah, I'm thinking, Mark, I have my Christmas
moods and mountain them on top of each other.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
So you had you had very very interesting friends that
think they're quite comical. We only had the one really
really bad, immature, bad apple kind of situation where he
tried to destroy our front yard.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Yeah, and if you know my dad, he is very
particular about his lawn. So I don't know if it
was as much that somebody was like creeping in our
house as much as he was really mad. Somebody was
tearing up his yard.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
I think it was first the yard and then the
realization that that's who it was. Yeah, he was the
icing on top. And then the third was he's lucky
he didn't lose an arm in that whole thing. But yeah,
he was so angry and just kind of a knee
jerk reaction out of being awakened from bed with that
sound in our front yard. So yeah, there have definitely
been times, but excluding that one, we probably wrote most
(27:07):
of them off. At least now at the stage in
our life, I can say we wrote most of them
off as being just high school kids and having fun.
For the most part, we knew so many of your friends.
I mean they were at our house at the pool,
you know, and good kids, and so we look back
now and kind of chuckle about it. So except for the.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
One, Caryl, she's a queen talking and it was so
(27:51):
she's getting really not afraid to fins episode and so
just let it blow. No one can do. We quite
like Caryl sound.
Speaker 10 (28:03):
This is why I'm very excited to talk to you,
because you are so confident in standing in your beliefs,
and I am a person who I just like want
everyone in the whole world to be happy. It's the
point where it is debilitating and it has like rocked
my nervous system for so long because everybody seem to disagree.
Then I'm the kind of person where I'm like, Okay,
I can look at a situation and I can see
(28:25):
a million different ways things could go down. And it's
like when Tom Brady did his acceptance speech to come
back into the NFL or whatever, he did some long,
beautiful like quote about basically maybe it'll be good, maybe
it'll be bad. So like, I never know if things
are gonna be good or bad, and I'm always so
worried that I'm gonna pick the wrong decision even when
(28:45):
I'm trying to make the right decision, because I'm like, well,
how is it gonna go? And so like, I have
a hard time making decisions. Of course, no one knows
how the future is gonna play out. But you and
your gut have always known how to stand up for
what you believe in, no matter what that is. That
is just such an incredible skill. Where did that come from?
And how do you handle people who so like, intensely
(29:07):
disagree with you, coming at you, like, how did you
get that kind of confidence to be able to take
such a stand.
Speaker 11 (29:13):
Well, first, I would say I'm very opinionated, so it's easy.
When you have pretty definitive opinions, it's easy to stand
by them. But I do this for a living, so
when I walk into a room, I don't have to
worry about offending people because just by the nature of
me being myself, they know who I am and they're
either going to love me or they're gonna hate me.
Not many people are in the middle on me, and
that's just on my political opinions. They might like me personally,
(29:35):
they might disagree with me politically or professionally, it doesn't matter,
but they have an opinion of me, and that's okay.
I would rather polarize people than be somebody who is
afraid of offending people. And I don't go out of
my way to offend people. By the way, I'm not
one of those people that wants to antagonize people. I'm
not somebody who walks around in a mega hat in
(29:56):
East Nashville or in LA just to simply cause chaos
and to upset people. I'm not that way. I'm really not,
but I do have opinions and beliefs, and I will
stand by them because I always say to people, why
are you so worried about offending people who have absolutely
zero problem offending you? And I think that's where the
conversation needs to start, is because people who are more
conservative in nature, they often don't want to rock the boat,
(30:19):
but they're around people who have zero problem rocking the boat.
And I admire the left for their ability to be
proud of what they believe in. The right is catching up.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
We've caught up a lot.
Speaker 11 (30:27):
In the last few weeks, but there's more work to
be done.
Speaker 10 (30:31):
Growing up, you were in debate.
Speaker 11 (30:33):
I've always been a nerd. I've always been into public speaking.
I've always been in debate and student government and journalism
and then those kind of things. I've always been opinionated.
It's part of being an only child. I think you're
an only child.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
I I'm a child.
Speaker 10 (30:45):
How was it being an only child? Because I'm always
worried my daughter is going to be like, oh, I
were kind a sibling, Like I miss not having sisters
or brothers.
Speaker 11 (30:53):
Yeah, not for one day of my life. Have I
ever wished I had a sibling, not one day, not
one day. And my husband has a half sister and
she's got a bunch of kids. But I always say
to him, like, for me, it's so easy. Hollidays are
coming up. I don't have to battle with anybody about
here's what we're doing, here's where we're going, here's what
we're eating. It's like, no, it's my mom and dad
and I and we are our own little posse now,
(31:13):
including my husband, and it makes life so much easier.
I also think it fosters a really big sense of
independence when you're an only child, because you have to
you have to make your own entertainment. You spend a
lot of time talking to adults. You cultivate your own
boys just by way of being a child talking mostly
to adults.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
So I wouldn't worry about.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
It one bit about having an only child, because you're
probably raising somebody who's going to be very fiercely independent.
And I just come from the school of thought that
that's a good thing. So siblings are great, But when
you're an only child, I say, embrace it. And if
I have kids, which we hope to have kids, I
really only want one like, I want to have an
only child.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
So you loved it that much?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I did?
Speaker 11 (31:51):
Yeah, No, I think it's a great thing to be
an only child. Big families are great. People that come
from big families. They love being from a big family.
But I have not one day said, oh boy, I
wish I had a brother or a sister. No, not
one day.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
That's amazing.
Speaker 10 (32:05):
Okay, tell me about your childhood. What was magical about it.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
I grew up in South Dakota.
Speaker 10 (32:09):
That's the most beautiful place.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
So it is a beautiful.
Speaker 11 (32:11):
Place and it's a place to me where you know,
we obviously don't live in South Dakota anymore, my whole
family still does. But I was born with a belief
system and a way of life that I think a
lot of other people in media maybe don't have. So
I come from a different perspective in that way and
going around, Well, for me, it's just growing up around
really hard working blue collar people, ranchers, farmers, people who
(32:33):
you know, make a modest living, but they're very proud
of what they do. They're very neighborly. It's just a
different sense of community than when you grew up in
a bigger city or in a bigger state. So I
bring that with me through everything that I do and
everywhere that I live. And I think that's why my
voice for a lot of people is really authentic, because
they can relate to somebody who maybe grows up in
a place or a part of the country that doesn't
(32:55):
get a lot of attention generally, okay, and so that
fully shaped who you are, and it got you on
your path and you've never lost it, like you never
got lost in the midst of like going to the
big cities and being on the news, like you've stayed
grounded and rooted this whole time because I remember where
I come from, and that's very important to me, remembering
where I come from, and I think a lot of
(33:15):
people lose that when they get into media and then
they only talk to people that are in media. Also
another reason I live in Nashville. Though Nashville's a big
city compared to where I'm from, Tennessee's a big state
compared to the state that I'm from, but it's still
very small town. It's still very community oriented in Tennessee.
And that's why I gravitated here of all the places
I've lived. That's why We're going to stay here because
Tennessee is like South Dakota in that way, and it's
(33:38):
a great place to be. And red free states are
just great places to be. I mean, I wouldn't recommend
living in a blue state right now, maybe even just
for tax purposes alone. But red states still have community
and family, and I think that's really important for raising
a family. Being in a family in a profession that's
polarizing and in the public spotlight all the time. It's
(33:58):
good to be in Tennessee.

Hey guys, hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I hope

some of the podcasts here on the Nashville Podcast Network,
and this week's Bobby Cast, a compilation of stories of
famous people meeting other famous people, like Houser meeting DiCaprio
on Killers of the Flower Moon, Darius Rucker performing with
Algreen is a really cool one. So we're gonna get
(00:29):
to Amy's and Carolines and the Sore Losers. But let's
start with this from the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Well, how did you and Blake become friends?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Because it seems like you other pretty close? We were,
and it are we still are?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
You know? I don't Blake had got here before I did.
Blake was working on his career long before, not long before,
but a few years before I got here, and so
he had started having some radio success and we literally
met at some event in Nashville and just started hanging out.
And then he had lived in Hickton County and I
(01:09):
was in Dixon, so we weren't that far apart. Both
realized that we liked hunting. I invited him on a
hunting trip. On a trip that I was doing in Kansas.
I'm sorry, yeah, in Kansas. And at that trip we
became like we were buddies. I knew right then that
(01:29):
I liked the guy, and we were both kind of
like I said, he had already had a couple of
songs on the radio, and then I started having some
success at Broken Bow, and then we just stayed in touch.
I mean at one point we were we were with
each other.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
All the time.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Every time we could do something together, we would. And
then he got divorced from Cat and he and Miranda
got me married. And I had known Miranda a little bit, uh,
and really thought that Miranda and I had a decent relationship.
And she used to tell a story about how she
came to Fanfair and it was one of my early
(02:13):
on first two or three years of Fanfare when he
still called it Fanfair, you know, And she tells the story,
and I remember her telling me that how she waited
after the show to meet some of the artists and
that I came out and was the only one that
came out afterwards and gave her an autograph. Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
And so I thought, man, this is gonna be awesome.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
You know, my buddy's marrying this girl who's turned into
an artist of her own right and turn in this.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
You know it's great, But something.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Happened when them two got married, and I don't know,
she was no longer a Craig Morgan fan for some reason.
You know, I don't know, but you know that's history.
And here we are now.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I remember when you were doing the Offery Blake, when him,
I think him and Gwen were playing from his ranch.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I think, yeah, I was there.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I've just I've done opry shows in the past year.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
But was he setting you up?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Were you setting him up?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Are you going back and forth?
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Always?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's yeah, it's horrible. I will tell you though. We
uh uh.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
When my son died a lot of my friends uh
in this business came out there and I had, man,
I gained so much respect and admiration. Already loved all
these people. But it's really weird.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
And Jerry was with me. It's weird when I know
them and I love them and they're I consider them friends.
But when a guy like Tray s Atkins, Blake, Shelton,
Jim and Brown and John Colleen, these guys show up
at at my son's funeral and they stand in line
with everyone else out there, asked nothing, didn't want to
(03:54):
come in early. You know, it just man, it just
floored me. And when I'll never forget, we were we
were downstairs and Cecy had come in and was talking.
She sang it my son's funeral, and uh, you know,
I'm trying to. I'm trying to.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I don't know have a sense of.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I wanted to comprehend my people and and and them
to know that I appreciate them being there. But I
remember Blake coming in and we cried, you know, we
cried together, and he hugged me, and I felt such
an embrace of friendship from him. Uh, And I knew.
I knew then that there was nothing that Blake or
(04:39):
I could do that would sever that friendship.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It wouldn't happen.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
And I also, at that moment, became Gwenn's biggest fan.
I had met Gwen via FaceTime a few times when
Blake and I were together, and he was like giddy,
silly and love face timing her and we would, uh,
we would lay there to together and sit and talk
to Gwynn or her own FaceTime, you know, and I
really liked her. But I didn't really know her. But
(05:07):
when he came in the room, I said, where's Gwen?
And you know, was she not able to come? He said, no,
she's outside. She was being respectful and she did not
want to come in until she was invited in.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
And I just met. I thought, my.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Lord, you know, if she came in and she too,
like cried and hugged my wife and showed her such
an embrace of friendship and kindness and warmth, and it
just absolutely hammered me in I've never experienced anything from
her but that since, you know, when we're at the
award shows and he's like, let's get out of here
for a few minutes, and we go out to the
bus and hang out, and they just He's in such
(05:43):
a beautiful place with her that I've never seen and
I love that.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I love it. Now.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Having said all that, I can text Blake on Monday,
April the first, and it might be Monday, June first
when I heard from he is the worst man. And
then I'll get nothing a picture of him flipping me
a bird or something, you know. But yeah, so we've
been friends for a long time. I mean, he came
(06:09):
out when I did reading that yacht club. And I
remember when.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
We did read in that yacht club.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
He had a huge hit and even you know, just
to show you how weird this businesses. I remember talking
to Blake, him going, man, I don't know if this
is going to work. I don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I'm like, you got a big, huge hit?
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
You know?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
And he's like, yeah, but you just don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And now you look, where is that?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
You know?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
It's just it's wonderful.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Hey, it's Mike d.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
And this week I'll movie my movie podcast. I shared
my top five tub fines. These are movies you can
watch for free at home on the You have to
be on your phone, on your tablet, on your computer,
wherever you have it. Not a commercial. I just wanted
to share with you a service. I found some really
good movies on and you don't have to pay a dime.
You do have to watch some commercials, but just the
heads up there there's some good stuff on there. So
(06:57):
check out just a couple of my picks, and be
sure to check out the full episod a Movie Mike's
Movie Podcast to hear my top five at number two
on the TV list is Blow, starring Johnny Depp Penelope Cruise.
I remember watching this movie way too young, because it
came out in two thousand and one.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
I was ten years old.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
I remember the DVD for Blow that it was like
a silver case with Johnny Depp laying down, Penelope Cruise
laying down like on top of him, resting her hand
on his stomach. And I didn't know what Blow even
meant before watching this movie as a kid. It's about
cocaine and Johnny Depp plays a character named George Young,
(07:37):
who is most famous for being Pablo Escobar's right hand man.
And I thought this was the coolest movie growing up
because it's all about how he goes from being a
poor kid. His parents are struggling financially and that leads
them to fighting with each other. His dad is played
by Ray Liotta, and a fantastic thing that this movie
(07:59):
does create a really great backstory really quickly by showing
you his life as a kid, But even before you
get to that, it starts out kind of telling you
how it's gonna end. It is Johnny Depp as an
adult telling you his inmate number, and then you flash
back to him getting started in the drug business. But
(08:21):
it all goes back to him as a kid hearing
his parents argue and thinking, I don't want to be
like that. I got to make something of myself. I
got to leave here and find out how to find
my place in the world, how to make money because
I don't want to be broke like them. And what
does he do. We start selling weed in California, and
selling weed is a gateway drug for him to selling cocaine,
(08:43):
and he is really good at it, but there are
a lot of problems that come from being a drug dealer.
So while it does focus a lot on that story
of how he rose to power, how at one point
in the late seventies to early eighties or anybody you
know did cocaine in that time period, there was an
(09:03):
eighty percent chance that it came from him and Pablo Escobar.
He made about one hundred million dollars working with the cartel.
And yes, on the surface, it is a story about that,
just cocaine, drug dealing.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
All the downfalls of that.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
But at the root of this story that I felt
rewatching him, I felt the true emotion of somebody who
just didn't want to repeat history. And you very much
connect with that aspect of his life, and Ray Liota
Rip did a fantastic job as his dad. His dad
just wanted the best for him and wanted him to
(09:40):
have a good life and was always supportive of his
son no matter what he did, no matter how many
times he ended up in jail, even when he was
inviting him to their house, and he knew that this
was all a product of him selling drugs and being
a criminal. He was always supportive of his son. His
mom not so much. But it was Johnny Depp's character
(10:02):
just trying not to relive that history. And this movie
has one of the saddest endings that punches you in
the gut in a very unique way because it is
not your typical sad ending. But when you really think
about all he went through in this movie, all he
wanted in lives, the things that made him happy, it
is so sad. If I had a heart that wasn't
(10:24):
made of stone, I'd probably cry while rewatching this movie.
But Blow is a fantastic movie. There is nothing bad
that I would take out of it. There's nothing I
would change, and it holds up. I loved it when
I was ten, I love it now. That I'm thirty three.
I give blow a five out of five, and at
number one in my top five to b fines is
a movie called The Founder. It is the true story
(10:45):
of Ray Kroc, played by Michael Keaton, started out as
a struggling salesman from Illinois and went on to be
who we know as the founder of McDonald's. Yes, McDonald's
the Golden Arches, and it's all about how he did it.
And even though he is credited being the founder, oh,
that is not the whole story, because I'll just read
(11:08):
from the plot synopsis. Because it is history, you could
google it and find out exactly what happened. And from
my research on this story, overall, this movie is pretty accurate.
They changed a couple details here and there, but nothing major.
Because that is why sometimes I don't watch these biographical dramas,
because they change things so much that it's like, hey,
(11:29):
that's not even what happened. And I thought this movie
was kind of gonna focus so much on how revolutionary
McDonald's was and how novel it was, but it really
focuses more on oh, the seat, the cruel nature of business,
the backstabbing, the drama that comes with that. The money
that comes with that, and it led me to feel
(11:52):
a different way about McDonald's, not in a bad way.
I don't think McDonald's is at any fault in this movie.
It doesn't make the franchise self look bad.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
It just changed.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
Exactly how I view business and it just happens to
be through the vehicle of McDonald's. Ray meets the actual
McDonald's brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, who are running a
burger operation in southern California back in the nineteen fifties.
And the reason I even discovered this movie and decided
I want to watch it and found it on two
(12:23):
B is I actually saw a clip of it on
TikTok that was I was like, where is this even from?
But it's Michael Keaton going up to the first McDonald's
and being so fascinated on how fast they make is food.
And what the McDonald's brothers did is they developed something
called the speedy system. They are really the ones who
(12:44):
created fast food because they wanted to set themselves apart
from all the other restaurants, which in the fifties it
was either had to go in, sit down and order,
but there were a lot of downfalls with that. They
wanted to take all of those factors out, that you
would just walk up, order your food and within seconds
they could hand it to you, which is exactly what happens.
(13:06):
And then a clip I saw on TikTok It is
Michael Keaton going up ordering a burger, ordering a fries,
and ordering a drink and then being so shocked when
they hand it to him and they're like here you go,
and he's like, what do I Where do I eat it?
Speaker 5 (13:19):
They're like, wherever you want?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Where's the plates, where's the silverware?
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Well, you just eat it out of the wrapper and
then you throw it away. That to us now is
just so normal.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Has been a part of our lives forever.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
But to see that showcased in the Founder, where people
didn't know how to consume fast food, was what sucked
me into this movie. And that happens pretty early on.
So this movie will give you a much different perspective
on McDonald's, again, not really in a bad way. You'll
just kind of think of like, oh, that is how
they operate, that is what they do, and it seems
so obvious, but it's something you don't really think about
(13:53):
because you go there just trying to get a big
Mac or getting some chicken nuggets, or frustrated because the
ice cream machine is never working. They don't have to
star in this movie, by the way, but for the founder,
I would easily give it a four point five out
of five. I love finding hidden gems like that.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
We're gonna do it live. Oh the one, two, three,
Sore Losers.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most
about sports, so I'll give you the sports facts, my
sports opinions because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
It's Sison. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male.
I live on the North side of Nashville with Baser,
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 maybe a little fescue
to be determined. Over to you, coach.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
And here's a clip from this week's episode of The
Sore Losers.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Speaking of kids, Hey, you were freestyle in some country rapped.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
There that was actually pretty good? Are you kind of
reminded me of my friend Big Smoe? Check it out?
I got an out now big smoke.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Oh, we're kicking it in the country.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
So yesterday I'm in watching some TV and Baby Box
comes in and goes Dad, Dad. I'm like what, and
he goes, one of my brothers missed the toilet. They
missed the potty, And I'm like, what do you mean.
He's like, there's p all over the ground. I'm like, well,
I don't know. Boys, comara, boys, Hey, who which one
(15:37):
of you guys missed the toilet?
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Who?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Not me? Not me?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Not me?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Not me?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
It wasn't me.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
It wasn't me.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
No one taking responsibility right, no one.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
It carries over into the business world.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
So Baby Box looks at him and goes, guys, let's
go in the bathroom. Maybe you'll recognize it.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Wait, who's dribble?
Speaker 5 (15:58):
He thinks they're gonna recognize their pee and then admit
to it. He looks sentitive and he goes he goes, brothers,
let's go, let's go look at it. Maybe you'll recognize it.
It's just like as such a lap out loud moment,
because he was really thinking, Okay, if we go in
the bathroom, they'll recognize it. Oh, that's their pee, like
(16:21):
their p looks any different than his P, and his
P looks different than my P. Huh, hilarious dad moment,
And I just wanted to share it with you because
I thought it was so fun.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
What he doesn't realize is all p looks same, from
homeless to billionaire.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
All got a pee, everybody pee is the same. It's
either yellow or it's white. I mean, either you're really
hydrated or you're dehydrad It's one of the two.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
But now it's if you got its neon, that means
you're drinking your electrolyte. So it's kind of counterintuitive.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Really.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah, if it's if it's a good color like that,
that means you're hydrated and you've also I.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Thought if it was white, that means you're hydrated.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I mean, white just means you drink a crapload of water.
Slow it down, you're drinking whatever you're doing, beer, wine, water,
iced tea. It's too much. Tone it down. Oh okay,
But I mean when you wake up after a night
of drink and that's the gross color.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah, that's when it's really dark.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
That's when. Yeah, guys, I'm gonna tone it down a
little bit. Uh, I needn't find some water or something
because what I just saw. I'm not a scientist, I'm
not a urologist, but wasn't good. All right, I'm gonna
go find some p D late he yo, we'll see
an a minute.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
I mean, they do like it when they go to
the doctor and they get to pee in the cup.
I think that's the coolest thing too.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Never understood that because the cuff never big enough.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Well that's the one thing. Is like, we went the
other day because my baby Box two was saying it
hurt when he peed, and so I thought maybe, oh,
he's got an infection of some sort. So we go
to the doctor and the doctor's like, all right, you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Have to go.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Peanut cut goes. I get to pee in a cop.
I get to pee in a cup. And we go
in the bathroom and I'm holding the cup there and
then I'm like and I pulled away and goes Dad,
it's not all the way full. I'm like, dude, he
doesn't need the whole thing full. He goes, but I
still got more pee. I'm like, well, you can pee
in the toilet. You don't have to stop.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
They had one there for you.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they provide a cup you don't bring
it home, you don't peegmore the toilet. Well, what the
hell do you think you think they just you don't
have a toilet.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Was it in the doctor's office or you guys went
in the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Well, they give us the cup and then they go
into the bathroom and then, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
We only do our physicals once a year, and let's
be real, half the times they've come here to our office.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
I gotta be honest, I gotta get my physical today, Dude.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I miss those times they'd roll in. We thought it
was all just ass grabbing and butt slaps, but now
we got to go find a doctor, find you a physical,
get like ten different blood tests. What happened when they'd
come into our conference room and then do it on
a table that you used to sit next to, market
next to, And then the following day you're testing your
blood and peeing in a cup.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Yeah, today I have to go. I have to pee
in the cup. Probably I have to get my balls
grabbed and a cough and I figure they they're gonna
draw my blood. I don't know what all they're gonna
do it a physically. Are you feeling okay? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Good?
Speaker 5 (18:57):
You tired? Yeah, anything else in other health concerns not cool.
And then I guess I passed the test.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
But the key is, guys, this is too much inside baseball.
But let's be real, you're on the open road.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Oh we did get a message, dude, hold on.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Who gives a hell? Okay, So the physical thing, you've
got to actually be careful because dude, I went to
a Walgreens and you do all this testing and then
it ended up not even translating over to our health
insurance because the Walgreens didn't do my height and weight.
So then I had to hit up our friend Tracy
and I go, hey, Tracy, you're a doctor, right, and
she goes, yeah, I said this. Walgreens said they can't
(19:31):
officially do my weight and my company requires it, so
can I just come over and you weigh me? And
she's like, is this a joke? Are you serious? And
I'm like yeah, and then I need you to just
sign it and she goes okay, And it worked. But
you've got to make sure that they'll do all that
stuff on the form because I had to go to
three different offices two to three hundred dollars all to
get an insurance benefit. It's probably not even three hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
You're probably wasting more money going to get it than
you are saving. Because I did love it. When they
came to the office, they pick your finger, boom boom,
in and out in five minutes.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
It was so fast. Dude, is this mutt yo?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Is that Mike gone?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Dude? This thing sucks yo yo yo. I don't know, dude,
I swear kiddie put it on a weird setting.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
It does it sounds weird. Thanks for all the shout outs. Ray,
I'm an OTR trucker, but I do drive trucks quite
often for the oil field. I'll hit the air horn
for you. That's from Keith Dye.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Oh, and I was supposed to give a shout out
if we're doing that. I didn't know where this is
a birthday line.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Here's another one. Loading up the big rig and listening
to the pod on the road. Thanks for the entertainment, boys.
It's Billy Minnow nailed it.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Jacob Kirby on Instagram. He goes, hey, coach, how hard
is it to get a shout out on the pod?
Done over to you man, man.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
We're just thankful for the listeners. I mean it's Thanksgiving week,
and I mean the holidays are here. Ray's going to Vegas.
I'll be stuck at my house doing nothing in the
freezing ass cold. But yeah, so happy Thanksgiving. We are
thankful for you. We're thankful you're coming to the convention.
We're thankful you listen, and I am. We're gonna be
thankful as you sit around your Thanksgiving dinner and you
tell at least one person and you're a family, your
(21:11):
extended family. You should check out the sore losers. We'd
really appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Man, Hey, uncle Bill, I love you. Man, never told
you that before.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Hey Bill, I know something that you're really gonna like.
It's these two idiots. They do this podcast. It's not
that organized. It's not very good. Sometimes they don't think
their MIC's are working, sometimes their headphones aren't working. But
I think it'd really bring us closer together. Bill, if
you listen to that, we call each other once a week,
can talk about the pod. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I listened the other day, and I think my laugh
track has been a little loud, So I'm trying to
realize what level it needs to be at. Is that
two inside baseball? Yes, yes it is, but I don't
want to blow people's ear out. Because when I had
it on, my nephew calls it the monster truck. I
was in the monster truck, dude, and I had the
base on and all that. That laugh truck was loud.
(22:01):
If you were next to me, you probably thought I
killed somebody.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
It was.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
It was alarmingly kneed jrkloud. So now I've right, I'm
gonna just ride it down here, you know, like just
right here. That seems like that's what I'm saying. But dude,
I don't know man acoustics, audible levels. I ain't no dolphin. Man,
they gotta done sonar on what are we talking about?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Man?
Speaker 5 (22:21):
Hello, Oh my god, we're gonna take a break.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
It's Thanksgiving week, so it's a very special episode of
Take this personally. I'm bringing on my parents, Mom and
Dad aka Terry and Jeanette.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
Hi, Mom and Dad, I'm Morgan Morgan.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
Well, I want to talk to you as being my
parents and what it was like with me as a child,
but not only that, as you guys raised four daughters,
and I often get asked you why I have two
middle names. Do you guys have the logic behind the
two middle names.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Oh, well, you don't have the name I wanted to
give you. So I lost out on that.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
Too, on all of them, I thought you had some
of them.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
When your older sister, Taylor was born, I wanted to
use the middle name of Elizabeth because that was that's
my grandmother's name, and I wanted to pass that name down.
We had not passed down any of the family names yet,
and so I wanted to name her. We wanted the
first name of Taylor, and so it became Taylor Elizabeth. Well,
Elizabeth Taylor was still, you know, someone everyone could was
(23:43):
familiar with at that point in time, and I was like,
I can't do that. It sounds like it's backwards for
Elizabeth Taylor. So I love the name Lee spelled l eigh.
So we decided to name her Taylor Lee Elizabeth to
separate them. And so then when you came along and
you were a girl, we we uh, we had decided
on Morgan if you were a girl, but we had
(24:05):
not decided on the middle name. And I wanted it
to be Lane and Dad wanted it to be Nicole.
And so we decided, since Taylor had two middle names,
that you should have two middle names, so it became Morgan, Lane.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
Nicole, and neither one of those were the names you wanted. Dad.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, like I said, I wanted to be Nicole. However,
we did talk only time and name and you shouldny
because I was a victionn wlayne back when I told
your mom and she's cranged and where did that come from?
But I didn't went out either, mom.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
You didn't know who she and I Twain was.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Yeah, but she was just coming on the scene I think,
and she wasn't not like everybody did, and so it
was kind of an unusual name. So yeah, I tried.
Speaker 8 (24:50):
Well, I mean, and that ended up being one of
my favorite country artists of all time and.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
The first concert ever that you country concert that.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
You went to.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
Yeah, I do still remember my first concert very well
because I touched in I Twin's hand and she had
her Leopard outfit on.
Speaker 7 (25:05):
That was a big deal and you were never going
to wash your hand again.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
You guys went through uh some times with some of
my my ex boyfriends in particular, some of them were
super crazy. So was there a period there where you're like, dang,
we really hope she stops dating.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Well, I could tell you The one time that I
had was woke up in the middle of the night
and somebody was driving through the front lawn trying to
tear up all the grass, and I run out the
front door my underwear trying to chasing down and got
drugged down the street. Yeah, I predict their instance and
had strawberries all over my body.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
That was probably one of the worst instances. Yeah, he
was definitely crazy and this kid was and so yeah,
but looking back now, Dad's reaction wasn't clearly probably the
right choice. But high school antics from some of these
boys we just laugh about. I mean, from them putting
(26:05):
what in our.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
Pool the lobster and our.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
Bolsters in our pool just ran wrapping our pool furniture
to pitchforking the yards.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
And oh yeah, I'm thinking, Mark, I have my Christmas
moods and mountain them on top of each other.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
So you had you had very very interesting friends that
think they're quite comical. We only had the one really
really bad, immature, bad apple kind of situation where he
tried to destroy our front yard.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Yeah, and if you know my dad, he is very
particular about his lawn. So I don't know if it
was as much that somebody was like creeping in our
house as much as he was really mad. Somebody was
tearing up his yard.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
I think it was first the yard and then the
realization that that's who it was. Yeah, he was the
icing on top. And then the third was he's lucky
he didn't lose an arm in that whole thing. But yeah,
he was so angry and just kind of a knee
jerk reaction out of being awakened from bed with that
sound in our front yard. So yeah, there have definitely
been times, but excluding that one, we probably wrote most
(27:07):
of them off. At least now at the stage in
our life, I can say we wrote most of them
off as being just high school kids and having fun.
For the most part, we knew so many of your friends.
I mean they were at our house at the pool,
you know, and good kids, and so we look back
now and kind of chuckle about it. So except for the.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
One, Caryl, she's a queen talking and it was so
(27:51):
she's getting really not afraid to fins episode and so
just let it blow. No one can do. We quite
like Caryl sound.
Speaker 10 (28:03):
This is why I'm very excited to talk to you,
because you are so confident in standing in your beliefs,
and I am a person who I just like want
everyone in the whole world to be happy. It's the
point where it is debilitating and it has like rocked
my nervous system for so long because everybody seem to disagree.
Then I'm the kind of person where I'm like, Okay,
I can look at a situation and I can see
(28:25):
a million different ways things could go down. And it's
like when Tom Brady did his acceptance speech to come
back into the NFL or whatever, he did some long,
beautiful like quote about basically maybe it'll be good, maybe
it'll be bad. So like, I never know if things
are gonna be good or bad, and I'm always so
worried that I'm gonna pick the wrong decision even when
(28:45):
I'm trying to make the right decision, because I'm like, well,
how is it gonna go? And so like, I have
a hard time making decisions. Of course, no one knows
how the future is gonna play out. But you and
your gut have always known how to stand up for
what you believe in, no matter what that is. That
is just such an incredible skill. Where did that come from?
And how do you handle people who so like, intensely
(29:07):
disagree with you, coming at you, like, how did you
get that kind of confidence to be able to take
such a stand.
Speaker 11 (29:13):
Well, first, I would say I'm very opinionated, so it's easy.
When you have pretty definitive opinions, it's easy to stand
by them. But I do this for a living, so
when I walk into a room, I don't have to
worry about offending people because just by the nature of
me being myself, they know who I am and they're
either going to love me or they're gonna hate me.
Not many people are in the middle on me, and
that's just on my political opinions. They might like me personally,
(29:35):
they might disagree with me politically or professionally, it doesn't matter,
but they have an opinion of me, and that's okay.
I would rather polarize people than be somebody who is
afraid of offending people. And I don't go out of
my way to offend people. By the way, I'm not
one of those people that wants to antagonize people. I'm
not somebody who walks around in a mega hat in
(29:56):
East Nashville or in LA just to simply cause chaos
and to upset people. I'm not that way. I'm really not,
but I do have opinions and beliefs, and I will
stand by them because I always say to people, why
are you so worried about offending people who have absolutely
zero problem offending you? And I think that's where the
conversation needs to start, is because people who are more
conservative in nature, they often don't want to rock the boat,
(30:19):
but they're around people who have zero problem rocking the boat.
And I admire the left for their ability to be
proud of what they believe in. The right is catching up.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
We've caught up a lot.
Speaker 11 (30:27):
In the last few weeks, but there's more work to
be done.
Speaker 10 (30:31):
Growing up, you were in debate.
Speaker 11 (30:33):
I've always been a nerd. I've always been into public speaking.
I've always been in debate and student government and journalism
and then those kind of things. I've always been opinionated.
It's part of being an only child. I think you're
an only child.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
I I'm a child.
Speaker 10 (30:45):
How was it being an only child? Because I'm always
worried my daughter is going to be like, oh, I
were kind a sibling, Like I miss not having sisters
or brothers.
Speaker 11 (30:53):
Yeah, not for one day of my life. Have I
ever wished I had a sibling, not one day, not
one day. And my husband has a half sister and
she's got a bunch of kids. But I always say
to him, like, for me, it's so easy. Hollidays are
coming up. I don't have to battle with anybody about
here's what we're doing, here's where we're going, here's what
we're eating. It's like, no, it's my mom and dad
and I and we are our own little posse now,
(31:13):
including my husband, and it makes life so much easier.
I also think it fosters a really big sense of
independence when you're an only child, because you have to
you have to make your own entertainment. You spend a
lot of time talking to adults. You cultivate your own
boys just by way of being a child talking mostly
to adults.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
So I wouldn't worry about.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
It one bit about having an only child, because you're
probably raising somebody who's going to be very fiercely independent.
And I just come from the school of thought that
that's a good thing. So siblings are great, But when
you're an only child, I say, embrace it. And if
I have kids, which we hope to have kids, I
really only want one like, I want to have an
only child.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
So you loved it that much?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I did?
Speaker 11 (31:51):
Yeah, No, I think it's a great thing to be
an only child. Big families are great. People that come
from big families. They love being from a big family.
But I have not one day said, oh boy, I
wish I had a brother or a sister. No, not
one day.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
That's amazing.
Speaker 10 (32:05):
Okay, tell me about your childhood. What was magical about it.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
I grew up in South Dakota.
Speaker 10 (32:09):
That's the most beautiful place.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
So it is a beautiful.
Speaker 11 (32:11):
Place and it's a place to me where you know,
we obviously don't live in South Dakota anymore, my whole
family still does. But I was born with a belief
system and a way of life that I think a
lot of other people in media maybe don't have. So
I come from a different perspective in that way and
going around, Well, for me, it's just growing up around
really hard working blue collar people, ranchers, farmers, people who
(32:33):
you know, make a modest living, but they're very proud
of what they do. They're very neighborly. It's just a
different sense of community than when you grew up in
a bigger city or in a bigger state. So I
bring that with me through everything that I do and
everywhere that I live. And I think that's why my
voice for a lot of people is really authentic, because
they can relate to somebody who maybe grows up in
a place or a part of the country that doesn't
(32:55):
get a lot of attention generally, okay, and so that
fully shaped who you are, and it got you on
your path and you've never lost it, like you never
got lost in the midst of like going to the
big cities and being on the news, like you've stayed
grounded and rooted this whole time because I remember where
I come from, and that's very important to me, remembering
where I come from, and I think a lot of
(33:15):
people lose that when they get into media and then
they only talk to people that are in media. Also
another reason I live in Nashville. Though Nashville's a big
city compared to where I'm from, Tennessee's a big state
compared to the state that I'm from, but it's still
very small town. It's still very community oriented in Tennessee.
And that's why I gravitated here of all the places
I've lived. That's why We're going to stay here because
Tennessee is like South Dakota in that way, and it's
(33:38):
a great place to be. And red free states are
just great places to be. I mean, I wouldn't recommend
living in a blue state right now, maybe even just
for tax purposes alone. But red states still have community
and family, and I think that's really important for raising
a family. Being in a family in a profession that's
polarizing and in the public spotlight all the time. It's
(33:58):
good to be in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Hey, thanks for listening to this week Sunday Sampler. There
are new episodes out and I encourage you to go.
And if you don't subscribe to any of these podcasts
and you liked one of them, maybe it's in the
Vets Office with Doctor Josie. Maybe it's Morgan Number two's podcast.
You can check it out, subscribe.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Go.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Hopefully you listen to this because there were no podcasts
last couple days because of holiday, and you found a
podcast that you want to subscribe to.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
But we appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Have a great week and we will see you next week.
Speaker 3 (34:34):

Bye bye.
