Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for the good news.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
So at the Alabama Missouri football game recently, an Alabama
fan and nurse Aaron Mender, she had two medical emergencies
that she.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Tended to at the same game. And get this, so there.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Was one fan that had a head injury, so she
worked with an EMT there to get this guy taken
care of, loaded in an ambulance whatever. She's making her
way back to her seat, and she learns that there's
another medical emergency. This time it's the EMT she had
just been working with. Okay, yeah, his eyes rolled the
back of his head. He collapsed.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
After shaking him.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
She checked his pull she can find one, so she
immediately started CPR. I mean there was chaos everywhere. Said,
it was so crazy, and she was part of saving
his life. The EMT is recovering fully, he said. He's
so thankful that she was there to save his life.
But it's pretty wild that they had just saved a
life together. Where was this at the Alabama Missouri football game?

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Where?

Speaker 4 (00:59):
Though?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Where do they play? They playing ALBA? They playing they
were in Alabama. They were in TU schools. Alabama fan.
She's Alabama fan.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Yeah, world tide, just say that because you know that.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Yeah, she would like it to go meet coach the bar.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Cool, he let me gree you know that is yeah,
this is the coach, said coach. So yeah, coach coach
what the coach of Alabama world side? Okay, so there
you go. Good for her. That's what it's all about.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
That was telling me something good.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Shoe for the morning, Corny. Let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
The mourning, Corny.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Why did the mashed potatoes turn red? Why they saw
the turkey dressing?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
That was the morning corny.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
What was the thing about slashing tires you were talking about? Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
I saw this thing on TikTok of this woman talking
about how like, after her boyfriend cheated on her, she
went out and slashed three of his tires. She didn't
slash all four because the insurance will only cover it
if you slash all four to slash three.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Now, logic feels weird. Could you just slash the fourth yourself?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I know, but apparently this is a popular myth. So
the insurance companies typically should cover even if you get
one tire slash, depending on your insurance coverage. But they're
not like, oh, well, sorry, you didn't get all four
slash so we're not paying for it.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
It's a myth.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
So people were only slashing three because they didn't want
the person's insurance to pay for the slash tires.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, I didn't want any women out there to be
or any scorned people. Probably not just women out there,
just only slashing three.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Like tire slashing not really a dude thing. Yeah, Blusting
a windshield like a crowbar be a dude thing.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
So anyway, I just thought it was something funny that
I saw online that she said she did, and so
then I had to google it, and sure enough it
pops up, and a lot of insurance companies, like on
their website they clarify.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
I'm sure you've heard the rumor.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
That if there's three, da da da da da, but
if there's one or two, you'll get coverage, all right.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
C Air slash tire No.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
No, no, never slashed the tire, but I'll put it
never it's so dangerous, like what if it just pops on, you.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Probably not going to But okay, because in the movies
it seems easy, but I don't think it's that easy.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Morgan. No, I've never slashed a tire, Okay, no, no,
but I keep driving into the curbs here at work
and slash one of my hires at some point. Stupid,
I'm have to get a new car because they can't
want I can't park and drive, so it's my fault.
But everything's so tight here in this new building. I
have to get a new car. I'm stupid.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Ever Ever like busted a wind childer? Ever keyed a car? No,
I've had my car keet.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
I would never do that to someone.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
You never keep a car? I never. I never keep
a car lunchbox. No, you never walked by in the
key car?

Speaker 2 (03:42):
What did you just say a minute ago?

Speaker 3 (03:43):
You said one? I didn't even follow, didn't a tire,
No car like with your Yeah, I've done that my brother,
my brother's car. I'm your brother though. Ever key a car?

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Never, Morgan, No, I've had my car key though, look
by other.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Girls or guys, by a boyfriend, ex boyfriend?

Speaker 3 (04:04):
What same?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Remember? You know this.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
You guys must be tough to day.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
We're wrong.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
We blame them, man, I don't know what you guys did.
But wow, it's.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
Anonymous, anonymous sinba.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Here's a question to.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Be well, he Bobby bones, I just bought my first place.
I'm so excited. The thing is, I just found out
from the maintenance man in our complex that one of
the former owners in my unit died in their sleep
there in twenty ten. He said it was the original

(04:40):
owner's wife. Now I'm wondering if the other owner sold
it because they saw a ghost. I mean, the people
I bought it from only owned the unit for two years,
and the owners before that only owned it for two years.
Because of this, I'm hiring someone to come to a
few spiritual prayers and burn some sage. Because of this,
I'm thinking of hiring someone to come and do not
only prayers and sage, but bless the place. Would you

(05:03):
be able to live in this place? Or is it
all in my head? Or should they have inform me
of the situation? Signed New Creepy Homeowner Number one.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
People die.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
Everywhere all the time. I think, if you stand anywhere
on this earth, somebody's died there. Over the millions of years,
I think just about everywhere somebody's died. Think about the
billions and billions of people that have been on this earth,
and everywhere we stand, somebody's died within a foot from
It is a numbers game. I don't think if it's
like a gruesome murder and within those exact walls, I

(05:37):
think probably you think differently about it. So they died
in their sleep, that's kind of the way you want
to go a matter of fact, like if somebody, everybody's
got to die, somebody dies peaceful. If you're doing the
praying and the burning of the sage and the blessing, great,
that's great for you, if that makes you feel better.
I definitely would not. Let's this affect me to the
point where I'm going to change my life for it.

(05:57):
If you said somebody murdered eleven kids in this house
in this room, I'm out.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
No, there's not enough stage for that.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
But I want to encourage you to understand the beauty
of what has happened there. Somebody died in their sleep
with the person that they loved.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
They'll probably take care of you, or they're there, I know,
just in case you can think of it more positively.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I wondered if my sister ever disclosed when she sold
her house, if she said my mom died there, so
mom died in her primary bedroom.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
I would not disclose it. You don't have to disclose
it unless there's a murder.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Again.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
It's a beautiful thing. We're born, we die, We happen
to get to live to a long life and die peacefully.
That's that's pretty good. So do what makes you feel good.
But you do not need to move out of the place.
Nothing bad is going to happen to you. Also, there
are no ghosts, but maybe but there are no ghosts
just in.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Case on the Bobby Bones Show.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Now, I'm going to start this interview Scott with something
that I don't say to a lot of people, but man,
I love you.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
I love you.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
I love you.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Man.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
You know, we had a chance to spend some time
a couple of times, and I'm like, Scott's dad, he's
so famous, and then you're just like that super dude.
Like my friend Natalie stole all message me the other
day too, and she was like, hey, Scott was up
at the opry and she was like, I don't know
if you'd remember, and he ends up going, hey will
you sing with me?

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Like, dude, everybody loves you? Did everybody always love you?

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Or is this like a version of Scott that's like,
you know, I'm just kind of appreciating everything.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
I'm appreciating everything.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
I mean, you know, you go through waves in this business,
this love phase, and then you kind of kind of
goes down into a different phase. And now the love
is returned, and I'm grateful the show is. I appreciate
it now much more than everything. Yeah, I was gonna ask, like.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
The shows that you guys are playing, they're massive, did
you expect a Creed re emergence ever to the level
it is now?

Speaker 5 (07:58):
I had no expects of it ever, you know, coming
back as big as it has. I mean the last
tour was sold out. I mean we were doing twenty
plus thousand a night.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
I mean it was. It was crazy. Uh and uh
I was. I was grateful.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
There were there were moments man, where my eyes were
just you know, watering with.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Gratitude, emotional because why just because I know what it's
like to have it and I know what it's like
to not, And so there's a much greater appreciation and
respect for everything and everyone around me. You know, it
takes a village whose idea was it? And I'm gonna

(08:39):
do a sound they tell me, if you know where
it comes from.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
You know what that is?

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Yes, that is a Jagger's stap. That's his heartbeat with
arms wide open.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, that's his actual heartbeating. It's not his like like
Bobby was making that.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Sound of this throat. That is that on the song
and with arms slide open.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
We actually recorded Jagger's heartbeat while he was in the
womb wow and put that on the record.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Because when I think, I like, you guys a song,
and I was a massive fan. And actually that's when
I used to pay for tickets to go to stuff
like I paid I'll take a reimbursement of But I
remember thinking, like everything that I think of, the first
thing that I think of is that heartbeat before the song,
before the guitar riff starts. I did not know that
that was your son. That is awesome. What does he

(09:33):
think about that?

Speaker 5 (09:34):
This may be the first time when he listens to
this this morning, This may be the first time that
we've talked about it, or that he knows. I may
have told him years ago, but we haven't talked about
it in so long.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Here we go on the Bobby Bones Show.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Now, good stamp. What does fame feel like?

Speaker 5 (09:52):
I mean, it's provided an incredible life for my children,
incredible opportunities for me and for them, and so I'm grateful.
I understand it it in a whole different way than
I did when I was young. And so when you
get a second chance, or a third chance or a
fourth chance, you don't take it for granted.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
What did fame feel like the in your twenties? Man,
I was flying.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
So high, and you know, I had blinders on, and
I was so naive, so idealistic, and literally went into
it expecting the outcome. You know, there was no plan B,
you know, when it was creed, you know, and the
guys would share with you that, you know, that's how
I looked at it. We are going to make it.

(10:41):
We're going to be the biggest band in the world.
And I believe that pre success you had pre success. Yeah,
And they would share with you in an interview if
you interviewed them that I talked like that at band rehearsal,
and that was just I had no idea, how difficult
and you know what an anomaly it is to.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Have that kind of success.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
I expected it, you know, and we went through the
phase where it was gone, where I realized, you know,
you know, what a gift that was, how fortunate I was,
and that it was Uh.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
It was not something that happens to a lot of people.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Did you feel like you were charismatic as a as
a young young man or a kid enough to be
a front man or.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Did it develop? I think I definitely had.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
A charismatic aspect to my personality, especially to my performances.
I'm much different in my private life. You know, I'm
kind of a hermit, you know, kind of recluse a
little bit. Yeah, I definitely, you know, began to understand
that there was a charisma about my performances that I

(11:46):
was just out there reacting to the music, to the energy,
to the vibe. But looking back, I can definitely see
that that was something that was, you know, magnetic and
that connected with people.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Will you tell me about your op performance that day?

Speaker 4 (12:00):
That was? Uh?

Speaker 5 (12:01):
You know, I I've only been extremely nervous a couple
other times in my career. You know, where you hear
that expression your knees are knocking. I never knew what
that felt like until I sang God Bless America Game
four of the World Series, when.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
The Red Sox won.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
I got on top of the dugout and my knees
were literally shaking uncontrollably.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
And I almost got to that point the other night
at the Opry as everything began to sink in, to
realize what an honor and a privilege it was to
get that invitation on how it was greeted by everyone,
and I felt the nerves like you better have a
good performance, you know. I realized that it was something
that was going to last forever. And you know, by

(12:47):
the grace of God, you know, my voice showed up
and it was a good night.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Get you Bobby Bones on the Bobby Bones Show.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Now, good staff, I'm gonna ask you to Mount Rushmore
type questions, so let's take all of your music off
of it. But like the four artists that influence you most,
if you had to do a Mount Rushmore as a
child young man, who would you put on your Mount Rushmore?

Speaker 5 (13:13):
I would put Elvis def Leppard, You two and the Doors.
Did you get a chance to meet Elvis? Would have
been tough? Yeah, that'd have been tough. Afraid to meet
the Doors would have been tough. I did get to
you know, of course I didn't didn't meet youimmy past,
but I did get a chance to rehearse with the
Doors for about a week and play a show on

(13:37):
BH one with the Doors record some Doors songs for
a record with your remaining members of the band.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
So that was an incredible moment. I did get to
meet the Edge from you two. I was gonna meet Bono.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
He had something going on, and the Edge came over
and put his arm around me and he's like, hey,
Bono's got stuff going on right now. And you know
this killer you know accent he had Bono's back, which
I thought was extremely cool. And so I've had a
lot of you know, milestone memories that you know, it's
it's like, pinch me.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
It's a dream come true. Death Leopard guys. Another funny story,
I'm glad you said that.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
I was in the UK doing press for a record
in like two thousand twelve or thirteen, and I went
into a radio station and one of the guys from
Death Leopard worked at the radio station at that time
and he interviewed me.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
So it was an interesting thing there.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Now, if I go mount rushmore of Creed songs, what
would you put on that?

Speaker 5 (14:44):
Oh, that's got to be you know, one last breath,
my sacrifice higher and arms wide open.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
You know. Mine was Corner's in session that's another one too.
I guess we could.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
I guess, I guess we could throw that one up
into That's.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
That's my part, right, you got it. You gotta come
bridgetone sing with us.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Can you imagine the biggest Creed fans everybody like this
is a joke, Like, what's happening right now? Scott Stapp
in studio, lead singer of Creed. I gotta say, I
sing Creed songs so good in the shower. You probably
signed me to the band after this. I want to know,
do you sing any Creed songs in the shower? Like
if you're singing songs that.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
You ever like?

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Can you tick me?

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Hai? And then something I heard about you working out
at just a very very very public gym and you're
very very very famous. Scott stap back with him in
a second.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Here we go on the Bobby Bones show.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Now, Scott stamp.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
So, Creed extended their summer ninety nine reunion tour, so
all the way until December, and all the cities are shows,
and I mean Oklahoma City, Little Rock, Kansas City, Nashville, Biloxi, Corpus.
I could keep going, but I go to the website,
which is Creed dot com, some more of our friends
three doors down, like Brad, been close to Brad. Like it.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
I mean, it's awesome.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
It's so cool to see what you guys are doing
now and how much people care. And it's hardy anybody
to care about anything. It's not it's just anything at all.
It's hard to get people to care about anything. And
the fact that you guys are just crushing it, it's
that's super fun. Final question, well, two final questions. Do
you ever sing your old hits in the shower? When
I'm preparing for tour? I will sing what's the one

(16:26):
in the shower? I mean, I go through the set list,
you know what I.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
Mean kind of it's a long shower, you know, get
my voice.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
You know, God so cool.

Speaker 5 (16:37):
When I say shower, I mean bathroom too, So it's
into the shower, during the shower, after the shower, just
to kind of get the voice for sure.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Take me, Hi, that's a shower song. Yeah, because that
sound it's the only place I sound good singing. That
one's higher, but i'ms wide open. I can kind of
do that. As you heard, I'm pretty good at that
one here. Yeah you are, that's pretty good. You are
you got it, man, I'm a massive fan and I'm
gonna say it was my final question.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
I'm not going to put you.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
I'm not going to say exactly where, but is it
true you work out at a very public gym? Yes,
because sometimes people will say I think I saw Scott's
stap at so and so, and I'm like, no chance, turns.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Out they're not lying. There's a chance they're not lying.
He goes in.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
And also also always like jacked, Like I wouldn't want
to hop in a bench press and try to do
the same way. You'd have to take some off, you know,
when you have to work out with a guy that's
a little weaker than you, Scott, and you're like, go
ahead and take the ten off.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
I'll keep my mouth shutting just accept that, Yes, that
would be me at Scott's stap.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
You guys can follow him.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
The album is Higher Power and uh, if these walls
could talk with Dorothy, it's find the album.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
But it is not like a single yet, right am?
I correct on that.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
It is not yet, but it is about to be.
Oh it is, Yeah, Scott, thank you for coming in.
You know I'm a big fan. I've said it four times.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
But thank you just.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
You're the coolest guy. You don't have to be the
coolest guy I'd be. You've been the coolest guy to me.
So I thank you for today and thank you for everything,
and man, good luck, and I hope the tour continues
to sell like crazy and you have to keep extending
the sucker.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Thank you so much. Right there is Scott staffed. Everybody
nice Jo, It's.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Time for the good news, Bobby.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Damn.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
This older couple, Jim and Joyce, almost lost thousands of
dollars to a scam, one of those fake you have
a worn out for your arrest scams. So the scammers
pretend to be federal agents. They called them up to hey,

like paying attention. That's awesome. So they don't know who
it is.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
But what scammers always get away?

Speaker 4 (19:11):
No, no, no, the scammers a probably another country. They don't
know who the person is is. They jumped in because
they weren't like give me put me in the story.
