You all already know, I don't mess with anything that feels scammy or outdated, and that includes old school banks. Chime is not that. We're talking no overdraft fees, no monthly fees, no minimum balance nonsense. Like, why are we still paying banks to hold our money? Couldn't be me. Chime is built for real people, not the 1%. It actually makes your everyday spending work for you, not against you.

You can build your credit without the stress and don't even get me started on their savings. up to 3% APY, which is like way higher than those dusty traditional banks. And the Chime Card? This is where it gets good. You can build credit and earn cash back using your own money. On the same card, no interest, no annual fees, no weird guches. Plus, when you've got qualifying direct deposits, you can get 1.5% cash back on everyday purchases, which adds up real quick.

that's honestly why i keep going back to quince everything just feels elevated without being complicated The fabrics are really nice. The fits actually make sense, and the pricing doesn't make you feel like you're being robbed just to have something quality. They use premium materials like 100% European linen, organic cotton, and super soft denim. But most pieces start around $50, which still kind of surprises me. Their spring stuff especially has been on repeat for me. It's lightweight, breathable, and just easy. Like you can throw something on and still look put together without trying too hard. And it's not just clothing. Their accessories are really good, too. I've been loving their leather bags lately. They're made from 100% hand-woven Italian leather and genuinely look way more expensive than they are.

What I also like is that Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middleman, so you're actually paying for the quality, not just the label. I've been living in their loungewear lately, like the kind of sets you can wear around the house, but also throw on with sneakers and go out in. They're crazy soft, hold up really well and don't have that cheat fill you usually get with basics. Refresh your spring wardrobe with Quince.

No comment. Sometimes I feel like I'm a little too real. It gets me in trouble. Yeah, you don't think so? All I have you here, you know that the podcast is a huge part of my brand, so I figured that we could do like maybe like a tiny little mini interview. How do you feel about that? Give your pants.

No, on the questions. Okay, how about this? If you don't like a question, you can always say pass. You know what though? That's like, that's gangster. You earned your G-stripes. What's the pettiest country music drama you've witnessed that the public would never guess happened. You know I know

I know a judge got some tea. The Godfather pleads the fifth. If country music had a housewives reunion, who's flipping the tables? Such a great answer, such a great answer. What's the most ridiculous thing someone's ever asked you to

change about yourself for branding? Did they tell you to change your red hair? No. Okay. Love that. That is hilarious. I think, you know what? They want to be pretty like her. And I'm about middle of a town play. So I'm in her seats.

Look fine while doing it. I love a good cat suit. Yes. Wow, baby. What's your biggest? I cannot believe I wore that fashion moment. Who picked that out, you? This is before we started rebelling wearing the pantsuits.

suits got you that's why you wore the pantsuits you have trauma from that yes sit on my couch anytime why what was more dangerous in the 80s is the hair spray or the men because them tight-fit and blue jeans were hot back then yeah you did your mom's hair the iconic Naomi Judd hairdo was all you that's tea oh my goodness that's amazing I didn't know that. Thank you for that little tidbit. The higher the hair, the closer to God, baby. If 1991 Wynonna met 2026 Wynonna, who wins the argument? Yeah? Is it true when you get older, you're like, DGAF monitor, like don't give up,

it goes out the window? Because I'm getting there. Yeah. I think I stopped giving it. Get the hell out of here. No, she doesn't get it. Let's get the help out of here. God. This girl, man, she wants everybody to show her tattas. I'm so sorry.

Somebody's showing tattas by the end of the night, and I'm not sure who it is. It's probably going to be me. If you weren't a singer, what chaotic career would you have accidentally fallen into? Like a career criminal? Can you elaborate? No hugs over here.

What's the wildest thing a fan has ever thrown on stage? besides the prosthetic leg. We really saw a penis? On stage? Was it detachable? I'm trying to get a visual here. I didn't know if it was like a dildo, or was it like a real penis?

What the hell? Did you stomp on it? Oh, no. Well, I can't wait to get you on the podcast for real. We're going to spill some tea, baby. I love it. Alright, I'm going to ask you a couple more questions, and then I'm going to let you go. Has anyone ever tried to flirt with you mid-performance and did it work?

Never. All-business, baby. She said, I respect it. I love that. I love that you just had a vision and you kept going. If you could write a brutally honest country song about the music industry, what would the title be? Can we talk about the album that's coming out in the book? Does it have a title yet?

Do we have a... No, can't talk about it? Oh, I know. I could only imagine. This is... I'm so excited for you. There is nothing more freeing than releasing a book. I'm telling you, once you put it out into the universe,

look what happens. People show up. I love it so much. What's the most rock star thing you've done that no one would expect from you? Seriously, when somebody does everything, does it... What did you find? What is in the White House drawers? Nobody.

What's something totally normal that you love that would surprise people? I love that. Water is so soothing and so calm. I'm reading the book of Psalms, and it is poetic. It's almost like some Edgar Allan Poe type stuff. I love that. It's so healthy. It's so healthy, though, to take a break because it is so toxic out there. So I try to preach to everybody.

Like, I get it that we all want to be in the interwebs, but at the same time, go sit outside. I don't like the terminology touch grass because I feel like that's kind of insulting. But I feel like people need to go outside, set their phones down, eat lunch with a loved one, make eye contact with them. We need more eye contact. We need more hugs. We need more kisses because the world is so crazy right now. Yeah. Where they're sunning the butthole?

Yes. Are you flying? Can I come over when that happens? You know what, listen, I heard sunning your butthole is actually probably like the best thing you can do. I haven't had the guts to do it yet. Chill! Are you going to sun your butthole now? I am not going to sell my butthole.

Listen, that little pink meat needs a little sun, all right? Leaving it where it's it? Well, I'm going to ask you one more question, and then I'm going to leave that ball on. let you go. Oh wait, you know what? I might have asked you all the questions. I'm so happy that you came out for me. Like what a frickit? She's like, she's like, I gotta go. I'm ready to go. What a freaking queen. You guys give it up for Winona. Oh my goodness. That was like a dream come true. You guys have no idea. I have been asking Winona for probably two years to come on the podcast and every time she tells me no. As you can tell, she's very gangster. But then when I asked

you to do this show, she said yes. And when she said yes, my heart fell in my butt hole. Because I was just like, oh my God, I couldn't believe it. And she came and, dude, love her to death. So anyways, that was a childhood dream crossed off. I think I've had a couple childhood dreams crossed off this week.

Did anybody see me on Howard Stern? Dude, I was so, what did you say, baby? The Kelly Clarkson show, that drops the 25th. You guys got to watch it. It's coming out. But yeah, just this whole media run has been so crazy

and I'm just so thankful for you guys for just I'm going to tell you thank you a million times tonight because I love you guys so much all right moving on so you guys know that Bill was an asshole but we love Bill my dad so much

may he rest in peace one thing that my father instilled in me was music my entire life is a soundtrack I mean I can think back and I'm sure a lot of you guys can think back to when you guys were kids songs that just bring back so much nostalgia and so much memory. He introduced me to rock and roll at a very young age.

Not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but here we are. And in the process of falling in love with music, there was a group that I fell in love with about, God, it had to been like 20 years ago now. They've been on the scene for a really long time. But they've somehow maintained their like, I don't know, they're just always doing something new, always reinventing themselves and I absolutely love them so much.

And my husband actually went on tour with them in 2022. It's a little band called, I don't know, Shine Down. We love Brent and we love, love, love Pussy Banjo. That's what you guys have to call him whenever he comes out here. Zach, we call him Pussy Banjo. We don't know why, but it just stuck. We love them so much. When I reached out to them and I said, hey, guys, I'm doing a book tour

and I could really use you guys as guests. Will you guys come and do this show with me? And they said, absolutely. So tonight, I have my boys from Shinedown here to play a couple songs for you guys. Stand up for them. Y'all makes a little to stand up a shout down, y'all. Songs, don't get carried. The star of the show is.

We're the last course of the buffet. It's still fine. See you, man. Visit on the On a fantastic time. Time if you had, like, the night of your life, especially on a Sunday night. That's true. PG-13 show. Wait a minute.

Is it, is it rated all? I play the song if you guys and girls feel like you have a singing voice tonight. Hey girl. Come on, what's up? What's happening? Hi, Regency 806. What up, do us a favor, do us a favor, do us a favor. If everybody's sitting down, you can't sing sitting down, you gotta stand up.

We need you to use a diaphragm, like right here. All this. All this. Where to go? Thank you so. Can shine down play my show? Like, what the hell? Who do I think I am?

Who do I think I am? Luckily my husband has all these connections, so. And moving forward, and I'm so thankful that they came out and saying. They said, you know, sometimes goodbye is a second chance. And I mean, I feel like we're in a room full of second chances, because I know I'm a second chance. Thank God for second chances, I'm telling you. Hi, baby, I see you. Along the way, you lose a lot of people, and if you've read my book, you know that I've gone

through a lot of loss. But God somehow replaces those people and puts the people that you need and the friends that you call family in your life. And they become so near and dear to you. And along this journey that I call life, I've met two girls who absolutely... Guys don't even know who I'm going to say. Gosh. I've met two girls who are my complete fucking rider dies. this little thing we call the coven.

How further ado? What are doing tonight? We're good. You guys are looking fine as hell. We let Tammy come out. Come on, baby. She's the fourth coven member. You guys just never see her.

Come have a seat, buddy. No titty's, though. You can touch tities, just don't show tities, okay? Okay. I can't believe you wanted to show Wainona your tits. Is Tammy not hot too, guys? She said, I'm not coming.

coming out next time until people are like passed out in the aisles falling over her. Kindness, we've started this show that we like to lovingly call. So do you guys mind if we answer some questions that, or actually questions, confessions, whatever that you guys filled out, this is all crowd participated and we pick them. So whoever wrote these is sitting next to you, okay? So if it gets really weird, just wait and see if somebody like starts sweating, okay? to you and then you know what's the weirdo next to you. New York, we had some real weird ones.

That was strange. Yeah, we're not going back to New York. No, just kidding. We love New York. So, do you want to kick it off memes? Because you have said that you have a great one. I got a good one. I'm excited for this one.

All right, all right. She's been talking about it since earlier when she first got it. And I'm like, how crazy could this be? I specifically chose this one because I wanted to read it. So this is a confess. And the person said I was 19 and I used to, flirt with the hot mom across the street. My sister

would play with her kids and was always a harmless young guy fantasy that she would kind of indulge in me. So my mom was gone for a few hours. I jumped on Yahoo Messenger. I didn't even know fucking Yahoo

had a messenger. Nothing good happens on Yahoo! Messenger. I knew about AOL. Didn't know about Yahoo. So he shot his shot and she was down. She told their kids that she was going to go take out the trash. Yackety yak, don't come back. Yeah.

She walked over to my house instead. First time with an older woman. My heart was about to beat out of my chest. She loved how nervous I was. We started getting handsy. She turned around and got on all fours. Hot and horny housewife. My brain completely short-circuited.

I couldn't perform. I began to just finger bluster. From behind? She squirted everywhere. Cover the kid's ears. Sorry, kids. It was also his first time experiencing that, so he just stood there in shock.

I tossed her one of my old t-shirts and told her to clean up. She got dressed, gave me a quick wink, and walked out. She left with a fucking wink. The kids never knew. That person's sitting in the crowd right now, just so you guys know that.

Yeah. Listen, I will never yuck anybody's yum. That was fucking dope. Good for you, buddy. I wonder if he's got a milk fetish now. You know what? He deserves a round of fucking applause. He does deserve a round of applause.

Give it to him. He couldn't show up in one way, but he still finished the job. So to that, I salute because most men do not do that. Haley's so nervous. You guys, everybody cheer for Haley because she hates her. Everyone, round of applause for Haley. Walk in a restaurant while we're all there, and we start screaming for her. Down the aisles in Costco.

We'll clap anywhere. Yeah, yeah. Sam's Club is our specialty. Go, because she's gonna, her butthole's gonna get puckered and we'll never get anything out of her. So many questions that I don't want answers to. Okay, so he was trying to last longer so he thought of his dead grandma.

Listen, it's pretty sad and obviously it worked, right? He couldn't finish. Yeah. I don't know what to say to that, so we're gonna move on. These are hard. Normally when we're doing the show, like I have all the answers, but when you do it, like, live, and you know the person's sitting in the room,

you're kind of like... Yeah, I don't mean to judge you. I'm so sorry. Yeah. We don't want to judge you to your face, okay? Are you judging? Okay. No, you ain't, me, me.

All right, this one I thought was fucking hilarious, and whoever this is, shout out to you because you're my fucking hero. I have a huge wedgy kink, and I have recently been acting on it. I'm a male, and I have a huge wedgy fetish and have started having wedgy meat-up. with people. I love to give wedgies. It turns me on so much, but it's kind of hard to find

people who are down. Sometimes I have to pay them to meet up, but I love it. And I want to keep doing it as much as possible. Yeah. He ain't hurt nobody. He ain't hurt nobody. Did you submit that? I'm not into wedgies. It gives you freaking Indian burn on your butt hole. Not into it. I can't do it. Anything that rubs, I can't do it. I get it. I get it. Yeah.

Yeah, we need to turn. I'm going to line them all up. Does anybody want to claim that? You want to go next memes? All right. I'm a server and I need to confess something. Oh, God. It better not be food.

I get pissed. I'm sorry. Oh, shit. I've never said this out loud. I was asked for a cassidilla to be packed up. Cesedia. bitch. Casadilla.

Yeah. She asked for the casadilla. I need an armadilla. I picked up. I autopilited, not even thinking in the kitchen, and I threw the food into the garbage. I instantly panicked. I knew that both my managers would be pissed.

And I knew if I asked for someone to make another one, they would also be pissed. So without even hesitation, I grabbed it out of the trash. And I put it in the to-go container. No. I mean, since you put it that way. You're not wrong.

Grow up, grow up. A little dirt don't hurt, right? Well, again, I'm not going to judge these people to their face, so go ahead, Haley. I'll save it for the next time we film. Nanny, close your ears. Wait, I didn't hear it. I didn't hear it. Say what?

Damn, Nanny's here. Guys, give it up for Nanny. Woo, good Nanny. There she is. Hey, Nanny. Okay, Nanny, cover your ears. That's PTSD, baby. That's straight up trauma.

You never forget about a dog licking your ass cheek. Never. What if he got the hole? No. I've seen a dog yet. Whoa. I'm not even going to get into it. All right.

Lock the door. We were in Tijuana. No, I'm just kidding. Totally kidding. Does Gary watch you? He's got his little own cuck bed in the corner. This could really go south very quickly. All right.

I kept mine light and fun, you little perverts over there. Sorry. I got guys giving wedgies. This guy's hilarious. This one, too. At my office, we sometimes have team lunches, and there's often extra food left over. A few times, I've taken some home without asking, even if it wasn't specifically offered to me. I know it's not a huge deal, but one of my coworkers noticed and called me out saying it wasn't fair to take food without checking first.

I felt a little guilty because I was acting selfishly, even though it seemed harmless to me at the time. I realize now that I could have asked or left it for others, and I understand why someone might see my actions as inconsiderate. Am I the asshole for taking leftover food home without asking? No. I don't think so either. I mean, I feel like not everybody. You know, there are a couple times where like I want leftovers,

so maybe he did it to the people who were like looking forward to it the next day. Maybe. It was a luncheon. But it's not his. It's like if you left Pete... You're a Braden. Braden's here, by the way, guys. He might bust into a Michael Jackson dance for you guys later on.

I don't know. I don't see a problem with it. I do think maybe just ask. So that way you can avoid all the drama at work. Get a consensus. You don't want to be the weirdo that's like everybody has to hide their food from. Right? This is why people label their food.

Yeah, I get that. Yeah, yeah. But, I mean, I think he was still taking it anyways. Yeah, stop judging. Somebody said, give them the dirty cassidia. All right, we got one more question, guys. Me? Yeah, go ahead.

Me. Well, we have one more question each, so you guys go. Okay. Oh, God, Haley. I feel bad following up yours, because this person had a kink for pee. It was such a turn-on that sometimes I would get hard when I had a full bladder. And you guys thought I was the dirty one. Do you guys see?

I loved getting peed on and I loved peeing on people. Golden showers. Yeah, I would go in my pants and I really enjoy public urination. The thrill of knowing people are watching me drivel down my pants just gets me hot and bothered. It's a dude, obviously. My husband likes peeing outside. It's a boy thing. If you pee in here tonight, I might judge.

You guys keep your willies in your pants, all right? Go ahead, Haley. Is it really bad? Do you guys want to hear it if it's really bad? Oh, freaks. Great. Men love Ask Tell Confess. We have more men sometimes submit than women.

And it's like they literally hold these confessions in for so long and they wait for every Friday for us. I mean, girls, girls, we talk about literally anything. I feel like guys hold these things in. Yeah. Fuck, Nanny. Cover your ears. Haley, what the fuck, bro. Haley.

This is shit I never want to know. I'm married and innocent these days. Good Lord. Have you ever gushed guacamole? That sounds like he's definitely got something going on. Oh, it was the girl who had something going on. He ruptured inside of her. I would too!

Are you kidding me? I can't do it. I cannot do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. Okay, anyways, I have a nice innocent one. So here, we'll move on. Blame something on someone in fifth grade

and need to get it off my conscience. I was in fifth grade. The whole class went to sit pretzel-le-le-legged in a dinner. a circle and I farted. And everyone looked my direction, including the teacher, and there was this ginger kid, Stephen. Oh, Stephen. Who was actually pretty friendly. He sat next to me, and I blamed it on him. I covered my nose and went, oh, gross, seriously, Stephen. And everyone laughed. I saw Stephen's face went beat red. Aw. Also, I would steal his food. by pointing over his shoulder, and when he went to look,

I would grab one of his mozzarella sticks or whatever it may be. I'm judging. You're an awful person. Stephen, we love you. We love Stephen. You got to be nice to the ginger's baby. Yeah. Stephen probably still talks to his therapist about that to this day.

He's like, yeah. He was like that, or he was just like, can't ever fart in front of anybody now because he's just like terrified that it'll happen. You guys, thank you guys so much for coming out. You guys, give it up for my girls. You know, I'm coming over here, chill, because we're going to play another game. So tonight, I have a really special guest

that I can't even believe this person is here because I met this person a few years ago, absolutely love them, but this person is so fucking busy, the fact that they made time to come here and do this show for me, Like, I literally owe this human whatever they need for the rest of their life.

But I want to play a game with you guys. Can we play a game? Yeah! Okay. It's going to be called Influencer Scramble. So I'm going to play a viral sound, and you guys are going to tell me who it is, and we're going to see if they're here.

Can we do that? Yes. All right, go ahead, chill, play the first one. Trisha Paitis. Trisha, are you here, baby? No, I'm just kidding. She's not here. Somebody said, thank God, be nice.

Okay, next person I don't know how to pronounce Michaela's last name Let's see if she's here Michaela are you in the house baby Nope, she's not here She's not here I'm sorry, just wanted to tease you guys a little bit Let's do one more

Like, he walked in and my day just got brighter, so... It's the jewelry. And isn't he so handsome? them? They've been teasing you all about tities all night, so I'll show you a little titty. Yeah, baby. I think the question is, though, like, are we still doing men because we see you kids and girls online a little bit?

I want to know if there's a chance. Oh, well. So I started reading the Bible. You all know that. It's been great in all. Life's been kicking my ass, but I did start to question again. I love it. I started to dabble again.

Yeah. And how'd it go? Great. Yeah. But unfortunate news for you. Oh. Jelly's happy. Yeah.

It's, he likes dudes. Sorry. I love it, though, and there's nothing wrong with that at all, ever. I love it, but I just know that that was like a huge topic online as everybody was like, oh my God, here's my fucking chance. Everybody running their mouth. Yeah. No, they loved it.

All I saw was love for it. I saw the bullshit. No, you know what? I feel like that's how social media is, though it, like, feeds our FYPs all the bullshit, but I never saw. I saw nothing but love. I be wanting to fight. No, you can't.

I don't watch this. I don't play TikTok because I see the videos. I want to hit them. Boy, I'm, I mean, it's so hard when you see, like, lies about yourself and you cannot fucking address them because you're like, bro, what the fuck is happening? Like, who is narrating this fucking story? It's crazy. Marriott.

Period. Right. Period. Baby. All right. I'm going to ask you a couple questions. You ready? Okay, I'm ready.

Be honest. No. How many of your motivational speeches started because someone pissed you off? Well, more like they hurt my feelings. Aw, you're a sensitive gangster. Yeah, I'll fuck you up, but I'm gonna cry after. These are true Pisces guys. Yeah, I'm sensitive, but I fight.

I don't like male Pisces. They're too bitchy. I dated a male Pisces, and, oh. Don't. No, can't do it. Never. Ew. I like the crowd. They all get it. Yeah. Sorry to the male Pisces that are in here. No, fuck you. That's my thing.

Is your, what they say? Huh? Get up. Is your inner peace real, or is it just controlled rage? Oh, yeah. I vacillate between both. Like, I'm very peaceful. Yeah. And I know that I feel at peace when I have that, like, childlike joy. Like you always seem like giddy and happy.

That's the piece. That's my favorite version of you. Yeah. Happy giddy, Leo. Like, I love that. It's very hard to maintain it. Yeah, there's a balance, right? Yeah.

You have to walk a fine line. It's like a little rollercoasting. Like I want to kill everybody and then I'm happy. You're like a, you're like a little garbage pail kid, right? Oh, garbage pail kid. No, I love the garbage pail kid. What does that mean? They're like cute and cuddly, but they're like gangster.

Like they're like Chucky dolls. They will shake you. I can't hit girls. Listen. I love Chuckie. I'll come around that bald head. What's the most dramatic thing you've done and then later pretended it was self-growth?

Traumatic. Dramatic. Oh. I drank and then got a bag of cocaine. After quitting. And then I had a whole like literal come to Jesus moment and was like, yeah, I got to quit doing all that. But it, like, it wasn't.

fake self-growth, but like it was actual growth. But I got a bag. Sometimes you need those nights. The way that I went sober off of cocaine was I did two eight balls to myself. Two eight balls to myself. Smoked two packs of Newports. Woke up the next morning, my mouth tasted like a fucking ashtray

and I had a brown ring around my lips. And I was like, I'm never smoking again, never doing cocaine again. I'm scared of you a little bit. No, listen, when I used to fucking get it, baby. Okay, let me tell you, I was a party animal. Have you ever ghosted someone and then posted a quote about boundaries? The whole point of ghosting is like, I'm going to hurt your feelings because I'm going to act like you don't fucking exist. So it's like, why am I going to sub-tweet you?

I'm not giving you that satisfaction on me. I'm not thinking about you, not posting about you. Fuck you. You hurt my feelings. Now you guys see why I love him so much? That's like, that's me taking the high road. Okay, so say something. somebody in the crowd here is having a hard time cutting somebody off.

What would your advice be to be able to be like, fuck you, I'm never gonna talk to you again and like really hold to those boundaries? Duh, block them, what the fuck? That's like saying when you're depressed, I'll drink a lemon water, it'll help. Yeah, go for a dog. No, so my, okay, you have to like take care of yourself. It's not that if you cut somebody off, you're not gonna feel anything.

You're gonna feel it, but the way that you feel is yours to hold. So anybody that, like when I cut people off, I'd be upset about it too. But do I let myself go back to shit because I'm a little sensitive and upset? No. It's like when I want to do cocaine. You can want to do it and not do it. You can be thirsty and not drink. You can be horny and not fuck.

So leave it big. That's it. Everybody feels it. Just don't act on it because then you're crazy. This is why he's our little guru. I just love him so much. Personal mistakes. If we interviewed your ex right now, what would they say your toxic trait is?

They would not speak. They'd be dead in the back room. They wouldn't make it on the stage. No. Leo's like, you're not. I'm on the edge right now. Yeah. We've got to get you to Good Night Nashville. Are you guys coming to Good Night Nashville after this show? We'll see you guys there. We're all going to be there. Do you fall in love or do you just enjoy the power shift?

Oh. Oh. I gotta go. You know I've been studying you, baby. What the fuck? Okay. I've never been in love. Ever. Aw. Thank you.

The way people behave who are in love, I'm like, ooh. Don't congratulate that. Wait, Leo needs to fall in love. No, the way people behave when they're in love, I'm good. I'll be embarrassed to myself. The fuck? The way I behave when I just like somebody, I want to show up at your house because I missed you. Yeah.

Like, I'm psychotic. I'm Albanian. But. He's like, I want to peek in your window. and when you don't know I'm there. I've done that. It's not flattering, apparently. I will be flattered.

Why does that not surprise me, Leo, that you've done that? I think it would be kind of fun. I wouldn't mind doing that. Wait, what was the thing, the power dynamic? Do you fall in love, or do you just enjoy the power shift? I realized recently, since the Bible all that, it's been like a whole awakening, but I realized with, that's why I question my sexuality.

Yeah. I've never had sex just to have sex to enjoy it, it's always been for a power play. It's always been for like a weird, I want to turn your desires against you and like manipulate you. I realize I'm a dick. He actually talks about this on the podcast we did a couple of years ago. Yeah, he's not lying. He does.

But I realize that. So I'm like, what is normal sex like? I don't know. But I think when you do fall in love, one day when you allow yourself to fall in love, I think you'll be able to have that moment where you actually just completely submit. I know that's a hard word. Submit, never. I know it's a hard word.

for you to swallow, but I really do. And swallowing shit. I set myself up for that one. No, following in, who the fuck I'm gonna fall in love with? Like, who would I date? I bet you there's some takers. Is there anybody in the crowd who wants to date, Leo? Do you have any takers?

I know we got some takers. I know, Leo, you could have anybody you want. You know that. I want myself. No. Love yourself, sir. Oh, love yourself. I love that.

Right. I'm trying. I'm a lot. Are you emotionally available or just emotionally well spoken? No. What's she saying? Hum mess express. No.

We're and aggravated. Exactly. No, I'm emotionally available if I feel safe with you. That's the thing. No. I don't feel safe with nothing. No. I'd rather fight a shark than being a fucking Malaysian.

Come on. Have you ever done? deleted a post because you were like, okay, that was a little too villain? Yeah. Because I know you'd be posting some crazy shit on TikTok sometimes, and it goes viral and everybody fucking loves it. If I did it, people would be like, kill her. Turn her freaking social media off. No, yeah, I delete. I used to have to delete things, but now I'm at a point where I

realize my limits. Like my, you remember seeing like the first time I blew up huge years ago was because I got jumped in Berlin. Yes. And I made a video. I didn't have a following. I didn't know what the fuck was. like social media did. And I was just like talking shit. And I was like making fun of the guys who jumped me. I was like, you didn't even jump me right. My fucking lips were busted. I kicked me in the face. I was fucked up. I was like, you didn't even jack my chain, but that's why I stabbed two of you. And in fucking 20 million views. Allegedly. Allegedly. Right.

Allegedly. I fled the country. But like shit like that. God forbid I said that. I'd be done. That is actually how I was introduced to you. I was like, who is this bad motherfucker? I was like, I need him to be on my team. What comment hurt your ego more than you'd ever admit? What comments hurt your ego more than you'd ever admit? I don't give a fuck. He's like, bitch, I'm off social media. I don't care.

I post and ghost. Do you post and ghost? Yeah. Yeah. There's like nobody's meaner than me. Right. I've said it all. Yeah.

You know? Yeah, I guess that. I really just don't give a damn. I used to give a damn. And now I'm just like, man. Because once you get to a certain point on social media, too, too many, a brain isn't wired to take it. all of that. And I need you guys to remember that when you're scrolling online,

know that your brain is not supposed to see 20 different things in one minute. And you're not supposed to have 20 different emotions in one minute. So that's why I always say make sure you set your phone down, just take a little bit of time, breathe, because it's not real. It's not real life. This is real life. Do you think people want your advice or just your chaos? Both.

I think they want both. I think it's because I handle chaos so well and I've been through so much shit. They're like, wait, how are you still standing? How are you still happy? Because I almost kill myself multiple times. And they're like, how are you still happy again? I'm like, listen to the podcast to find out. But I feel like your voice is so needed because you resonate with so many people like men and women.

And the fact that you're open and you like, just to say right now, like, I've thought about killing myself multiple times, but I'm still here and I'm thriving and I'm happy. Like, people like, congratulations, that's a big deal, dude. Thank you. Like, I get it. I deal with suicidal ideation. I get it.

I'm sure everybody in the audience deals with some sort of mental health issue that they are literally conquering every day because in order to have a mental illness, you are a fucking warrior, and you are conquering every single day. So thank you for being here and don't ever hurt yourself because I'll kill you.

Okay? Oh, I won't. I will come just carry you out of the casket and bring you back to life. Raise you from the dead. Clear. On a scale of one to ten, how much do you enjoy being misunderstood?

One. I don't think I'm misunderstood. I think I'm just such a, like, not dualistic, but like my personality is so like, what is, polarity. It's like there's dual contrast. It's like it's so both ends,

people can't like grasp it. I don't even fucking know what's going on at the time with myself. But like, I think that's the thing. It's like people just can't accept that it's both ends and they're both genuine. But I think you're so eloquently, like you're so eloquent in the way you speak. Like you really is, right? Like you're so well spoken that even if it is crazy or chaotic or however it's coming out, it still resonates and that's all that matters because sometimes that's what the youth needs.

They're so fucking chaotic nowadays. Like you can, you're that that person that can get through to them. Does it resonate? A little? Okay, cool. What's something you preach that you absolutely? Absolutely, do not practice. Nothing.

I don't lie. I love that about you. If I say it, it's the truth. I just told you I got a bag. I'm going to be fucking for real. Well, wait, is there anything? No that I'm thinking. No.

I love it. All right, answer these fast. No. And then I'm going to let you out of here. Block or confront. Block or confront what? Just in general. Would you block somebody

or would you rather confront them? Who is it? Like, are they important to me? Does it, like, if somebody pissed you off, are you, it doesn't depend on the situation? It depends on how much money you got. It depends, like, if I know you or not. Right. But typically, I'm just going to block you, be done.

I got you. I love that. Therapy or revenge glow up. Revenge glow up. Hello. What fuck? Soft launch or hard delete? Don't ever post them.

Don't ever post them. No, not until you engage. Like what would it take for you to actually post somebody? God himself coming to Earth. Jesus just taking you by the hand saying. You could put me at gunpoint and I would say, pull the trigger. No.

Not fucking posting you. To not post anybody. How do you keep your love life so private? I don't got one. Yeah. Like, I'm genuine. I'm to myself. I told you all.

As soon as I find somebody on Fiddling Liddlein, I'll mention it. I'm off the market, but. That's it. Yeah. I respect it. I love that about you. Apology. Wait, love or leverage?

Love. Love. He's lying. We know Leo's lying. Leverage. I love you so much, Leo. Thank you so much for taking the time to come out. Of course.

You guys give it up for my boy, Leo Skeppi. Love you. Now you guys know I love him so much. Is he not fucking phenomenal? What you see is what you get with him, and there's no facade. That's just who he is, and I just love him to death, so I just am so thankful that he came. So moving on in my book, I talk about a lot of relationships. I used to be a sucker for love, and, you know, men were my weakness.

And then I ran into one that completely changed my mind and took me off the market and made me the woman that I am today. He gave me a family. He gave me my cows. He gave me my Chachi. And he's given me everything good. Chachie's actually here. Do you guys want to see him?

We might be able to bring Chachi out a little bit later. But back to this really hot dude who swept me off my feet. I am just so thankful for this man because like I said, I would not be standing here with you guys today. I would never have became the woman that I am and I have this man to thank so much. Give it up for three-time Grammy-winning award. Y'all make some noise that did the chili. You know what? Step into my office and you get to ask the question.

Yes, yes. He's going to interview me. Sit down. No place like home and tonight there is no place like home. Yeah, baby. National Stand Up, baby. Well, baby, I want to tell you, first of all, I have loved the show. I've been sitting back, I've laughed. It's so funny.

I mean, but I was like, you know what? I think I got to come out here and be the guy that makes you talk about while we're all here. Oh, shitballs. They told me they were going to give me a show, and I was like, I am not spending 90 minutes talking about myself. There's no fucking way. But if I can do like a variety hour, that makes me happy. No, I'm sure that y'all have fun. I'm sure that y'all have heard the news and my wife knows

but we are here celebrating right now that her book has not been out for a full week yet and just like in the record business which is the business I'm in that when you drop a record the first week they had all the sales of what that book did and what every other book in the world did and so far my wife has the number one book in the world this time Because of you guys. Thank you so freaking much, man. That West Coast woman might be a New York Times bestseller

by this time next week, y'all. That's insane, right? Speaking of that West Coast woman, how crazy was it to have Winona Judd up here with you? Dude, like, first of all, I'm, like, on Cloud 9. I can't even believe it because I, you know, I grew up singing the Judd. Can I tell you, can I say a semi-embarrassed bunny story?

Sure, please. My wife, because she grew up in Vegas, y'all, and she's been around, y'all've read this in the book, she's been around celebrities her whole life. So I've never watched my wife probably ask anybody for a picture. You know what I mean? Like, she is just, just as chill as could be. And I came back from the gym, a local gym in the Nashville area.

And she knows, she's like, oh, don't tell this story. I never even told why I know this story. And why I know about this, I hope she's gone. Drove a truck. And all the, you know, it was just a super low, like, 1950-something Chevy, candy apple red, the tag said the, who, the tag said the judge. And I was like, I came back and I told my wife that, and she had the shittiest eating grin. I've never seen my wife fan girl more than when she finally met Wynonna judge.

So she had all kind of judge t-shirts, whatever I first met her. So to see her out here having Wynonna, that tickled my soul. It just came full circle, and I was so thankful that she made time. Speaking of full circle moments in the book you talk about, and you also have talked about a lot about Howard Stern's impact on you and Howard Stern's shock jock moment for you. And I think we've all seen some of the viral clips of you making Howard laugh out of his seat recently. And how was that moment for you too?

It was, dude, you know, in the era that I grew up, Howard was the man. He was the king of all media. So we, you know, I saw- We can't act like we didn't all watch. If you're 40 years old, you watch private parks 50 times. For sure. So the fact that it just came full circle was just, I, and the fact that we actually, like, he, I don't know if I should say this, but he called me after the interview personally

and was like, I love what you're doing, you deserve all of this, enjoy your success. I mean, he just breathed life into me, and that was like you meeting a hero and him actually being like, I love what you're doing, you know? I thought that was so cool. So I have Howard's number now. Yeah. I'm a drunk dial on one night when I don't get drunk. A sober dial?

A sober dial, yeah. I was also thinking about this being back home for me, Nashville, how special it was that your fastest selling show of the entire tour was in our hometown where you call home now. I told them, I was like, dude, I'm not a Vegas girl anymore. I'm in Nashville in for sure. So you want to talk about some of our early Nashville memories for a minute? Let's do it.

Where you want to start? You want me to start? Yeah, go ahead. I was thinking about our condo today. with our first little condo here. Do you remember that? West 46. Yes, right there on West Nashville and Charlotte, right off 46 in Charlotte.

They built some new condos, which for the Nashville people, y'all don't understand. That's really uptown now. That part of town used to be, whoa. You get a $500,000 house in the nations now. You would have never convinced me that would have been the case 10 part of the year. It is unreal. But we got us that condo. It was like $2,000 in month.

I was like, we can't afford it. She's like, I got $1,000 on. I was like, I can't. I can't afford it. She was like, well, I got $2,000 on it. And I was like, I can afford it. I was like, that's right in my budget. I was like, that's right in my budget.

What else do you think about when you think about our early Nashville memory? It's funny that you brought up West 46, because just as now when we were in New York last week, I was doing a photo shoot and I looked up and it was on 46 Street. Yes. And I was like, wow, this is full circle. And I told the girls about how we lived on West 46, so it's crazy that you brought that up. I think about the first Titans game you took. me too. I never took me to that game. Did I? I mean I was poor and you planned it. I mean I

think about that I think about our nights at ML Rose we had so much fun. That type game was so fun. You had me on a 50 yard line I felt like a baller. I was like I kept going what did you pay for these tickets and now he stands on the field with the players. Yeah God is good baby guys good I love that my husband has notes over here. I have notes. Listen, I had really cool looking notes in New York, but I was nervous backstage, so I didn't have time to write them out, putting them up up back.

I was more nervous for this show than I was New York. Me too. It's like we got friends and family and agents and people that I grew up with and people that flew from out of town here. Thank y'all. Just ask you, thank you. Thank you guys so much. I have thanked them like five minutes.

I'm sorry, I'm so sick of getting you thought. Yeah. I literally keep telling them thank you so much. I was thinking about our first Broadway honky talk experience. Oh my God, that was so fun. That was back when I actually really used to drink, too. I told them how I did two eight balls of cocaine earlier, and Leo almost didn't believe me.

Oh, dude, I've watched you do that in a night. I've seen that happen on a Broadway ball. Do not go and do that, though. But I was thinking about that. I hate to start our conversation so nostalgic, but it's been such a, like, full-circle moment for me watching your show at the T-PAC. I grew up coming here and watching plays when I was a kid.

My father brought in here for the first time and I was like nine years old. This place has been here since I was born in 1984 at Baptist Hospital like three rounds down the street. And I've never got to play it. This is my first time standing on the stage at the place that I've been coming to that whole life. So this is really,

this is like a really big deal. And of all people, my wife brought me here, thank you. But it made me think about that time. We went to New Year's. So we, listen, we finally got a little money. We thought we thought we thought we had a little money. And we planned a big New Year's together and we got us this booth somewhere. Do you remember this?

Yeah, I know. And we were sitting there and we were instantly like, this just isn't our vibe. You know, we ever thought something was going to be cool and it just wasn't. Like we spent so much money. We got dressed up. We were like, dude, this is it. We're going to go fucking just balls to the wall tonight. And I look at her in the middle of it.

This is when I knew I'd married the right woman. I think this might have been our first, second New Year's together. And I go, hey, you want to go back to Annieok? My buddy runs a nightclub out there. We can go right now. It's open till six in the morning. It's B-Y-O-B. And it was one of those hood clubs, and I was like, yep, let's go.

Well, it wasn't any, I'm pretty sure. And we went, and Rails in the crowd tonight. Real, I love you, Bubba. Thank you for hosting us. Oh, is rail here? I love you, Ralph. Rail me roll. And then to think that we went from that to you now having a number one book in the world.

And I think about how many times I started reading this book. and we were, I was on page one when I had my first. Now, understand that we have talked about all of these stories. There was nothing, there was like a couple things in the book that didn't surprise me that I was like, oh, I never, you never got that deep with me about the subject, but only a couple. Most of the book I was like really hip-toe, but I was early in, early in Chapter 1 when I was like, there's no way she's going to tell this story, this early in the book. And then as it started going, I was like, well,

Clearly, she's not going to tell the whole truth about this story. We should save a little something for Jesus. You know what I mean? We should, as she used to say, make a little room for the Holy Spirit. Leave room for the Holy Spirit. And I was like, this is crazy. And every time I thought you wasn't going to tell the entire truth about something. I did it.

Oh, you did it, though. You did it, dude. I did it. I did not hold back. That's been the consensus of this book. Every interviewer is like, man, you really didn't hold back. And I'm like, I thought, but how have. having a memoir, you were supposed to treat it like a diary.

And I thought that you were supposed to write down everything that you can remember. You know, because I just wanted it to be my story. And I felt like if I left anything out, that I would be doing you guys an injustice. So I put it all in that. Was it gratifying? Did you feel like you found a freedom

once you get through it all though? I'm just happy that people can actually can look at me now and be like, okay, that's why she's the way she is. You know? Like now you guys can finally just be like, oh, it makes perfect fucking sense, you know? that we should all write a book and give a pamphlet to people. Literally, it's literally a pamphal.

This is all of my trauma before we had in my life. It did. It was freeing, though. It was like a big trauma dump, and it was freeing, and I'm just so happy that it's in the world now, because now if anybody asks questions, I can say it's in the book, but I am, like, moving on from that. So it's like it took two years to write the book, and, like, thank you so much for allowing the experience,

but I'm not who that girl is anymore. I think that's probably one of the biggest things that I found in it was, was how freeing it was to, like, it gives you a sense of, like, getting something behind you and understanding that it is okay to not be who we were. We should not always be chained to the person we once were. We shouldn't be held accountable for things that we've already held ourselves. Amen. We're a room full of second chances.

Second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth. Speaking of second chances, I was going to wait for Nashville to have this, because she doesn't know anything I'm going to talk about, by the way. It's kind of part of the way we've done this thing. I hate surprises. Well, it's not a surprise. I figured if there was a place for us to get deep. This would be Nashville would be the spot.

Yeah, for sure. This is where I wanted to do it. And while we're talking about second chances, we have both been extremely open. You in the book and me and podcast about my affair, the affair that I don't like to even call it our affair because this was an affair that I had. And it obviously comes with unnecessary criticism,

which I think is just sad because, and this is what me and my wife's stance on this is, and this is the only time I'll probably ever talk about this publicly again, but we did this not as a strategy for any other reason, but to help people know that sometimes love can actually win and that sometimes people can really go through the impossible, and sometimes people can really go through the thing that you think you're not going to get through.

And I'm not saying that's the case for everybody. And I'm not saying that you should ever put yourself in a situation to be a doormat, and I'm not saying, but I'm just saying that there truly are moments in light. And we knew that it would come with blowback, But we also knew how much that our thought was for every five people that tell us that's fucking and have an opinion about it. Or every 50, every 500, every 5,000, every 5 million. One couple survives and comes through it and finds themselves better.

And in the best, because we have the greatest relationship. I am so in love. My baby. I'm so, so, so, so in my favorite person to talk to you, and my favorite person to hang out with. You're my favorite person to be life with. I could not imagine a life without you, and I can't believe that at any moment I jeopardize that.

And I thank you for giving me grace. I thank you for writing about it in your book. I thank you for empowering women with that story. I thank you for being brave enough to tell the story, and I don't give a fuck what any headline says about it. We are better at the present. I want to let go sit on his lap right now. Coming over.

No, but to just add on to what he said, I think, you know, sometimes we're so honest that people, you know, the internet always comes at us because they're like, you know, they weaponize what we tell them. They weaponize our own story against us. But we do that. Amen, sister. But we do that for you guys because we never want you guys to look at us and be like, they're perfect. It's unattainable. Like, no, this love is very fucking attainable.

This love is special. and everybody deserves to have a love like this. No matter what you guys go through, you can walk through the fire and still come out unscathed. What I will say is, it is worth trying to work through. What you're at some point of a relationship

is going to survive, you're going to have to work through some things. You're going to have to actually pick a person and say, man, I want to work through this. And we obviously picked a big, you picked a big mountain to let me work through. But, and because of that, I picked up a shovel and fucking went to work.

Yeah, he did, baby. Look at the man he became today, though. Can we get a hallelujah right here, baby? I'm so in love with you, and I'm so impressed by you, and I just admire you. You know that. I love you, and I just wanted you to know I was proud of you for writing about it, and I want everybody to know I was proud of you

for telling that story and the way you told it, and how was it for you writing about it? I'm so far removed from it. That was, like, the least thing that bothered. That's the crazy thing. That was, like, the least thing that bothered me in the book. I was just ready to, I had never told the entire story, and neither had you, so bits and pieces. And of course, if you don't tell your story, somebody else will.

So I was like, I'm putting this in this book so that people can just shut the fuck up and leave us alone and let us move on. It was nine fucking years ago. Like, let us move on from it. And my thing was just, it was never my story to tell. You were the victim in that. You know what I mean? I love you. I didn't need to go out here doing a press run about it, but I'm glad that it got out.

there and I hope that somewhere somebody even if it's something small that a couple gets in the car tonight and goes man I want to work through it with you you know what I'm saying that's what I hope to happen because it could be arguing about dinner just fucking you know what I want to work through this with you because once you find somebody you have to work through things with it changes everything you just have to wake up and choose the person you love you're not going to like them all the time well yeah that's facts yeah well I was thinking of speaking of not liking people all the time you wrote a lot about your stepmother in here and God, it was just so wicked

Witch of the West. And we talked about it in New York so I don't even want to live here. But what I do, where I do want to live at is that you also wrote in the book about how far out of your way you went to make sure you was never the stepmother she was to. Talk about it. Absolutely. Talk about the bonus babies.

Yeah, the bonus babies, man. Let me tell you something. Bailey and Noah are, I got blessed with bonus babies because if they were anything like me, it would have just been a shit show. But I telling you he has the best children and they're my children too like I just love them so much but when I sat across from Bailey that first night or first day if you guys read in the book

and she looked at me like the godfather and she folded her arms you got to imagine she's like seven eight years old folds her arms looks at me and's like what are your intentions with my father and I was like this kid is me dude and it was like it literally was my entire childhood flashed before my eyes and I was like I have to do things differently I never want to make a child feel the way that my stepmother made me feel and I'm not perfect I listen Bailey has taught me how to be a mom that's why we're trying to have a baby now because I feel like I can do it you know I would like to tell you how great of a mother you've been I tell you that all the time but I think a

person that's better qualified to do that is miss Bailey Ann everybody she's so grown now every time I see I'm like she's literally going to college guys yikes I'm like what is happening I'm excuse the water before before we ended this portion of your segment you're a beautiful daughter who you have done incredible with every every good trait she has I owe to you every bad one I owe to her other mother we would probably both beg to differ but but Bailey actually had some of the most thoughtful questions about your book writing process oh well I'm glad to hear that you didn't react as such I was

nervous. He just stoned face me. I was like, hey, hear my questions, and he was like, I was like, hey, hear my questions, and he went, okay, and then turned around, and I was like, all right, let's do it. That's hope it's good. I was like, he's gonna be good. No, they were killer.

I was, you see him on the notepad, I came out here nervous. I think it's funny watching him with a notepad because this man freestyles life. Oh, I love it. Okay, so the fact that he has a not this is hilarious. This is my wife, this is one thing you don't want to fuck it.

You know what I'm saying. She gave me one job and come out here and talk about the book, don't blow it. Go ahead, baby. Well, speaking of the book, I wanted to talk about, I mean, we talked a lot about what was in the book, what it was, like, writing it for you, and I love that. But I want to talk about more what inspired you to write it in the first place. And then let me tell you all something about my wife's consistency. When I first met her, first drunken night, I'm like, so what's your dream that's in the book?

I talk about a five-year plan. And I'm like, what's your dream? She's like, I don't know, I want to do, like, a radio show or something. Like Howard Steiner, you know, podcasting wasn't necessarily what it would end up being. Podcasting was not around. Which is what the dumb blog show ended up being. and then I'm gonna write a book. And I keep in mind, I shouldn't say

it's for my daughter, but it's in a book. We're cocaineed out of our mind and drunk, and I'm like, you know what? This lady might be on or something. He's like, she's a keeper. Like, she's definitely a dreamer. Smells like freaking vodka and Xanax. You reeked that one.

Can't even stand up straight. I want to marry that one. Go ahead, kiddo. Well, I think it's your turn to answer. Oh, sorry. Okay, so why didn't. What made me want to write a book? So I have always loved writing.

It's so cathartic for me. And English was one of my only really good classes that I never failed. And I just loved, like, creative writing. And I loved always being able to express myself. I used to write poetry and stuff like that. So I didn't know that I would ever be telling my life story, but I knew that I wanted to write some sort of a book. I love you guys so much.

So when I got with my agent Sloan, actually, and I started telling her a little bit about my life, she's like, oh, we're writing a fucking book. And I was like, it's not that interesting. And she's like, we're writing a fucking book. And I was like, okay. And then on the podcast, I only dropped, like, bits and pieces of my life. So people would always say, where can I find your story?

And I didn't have one. So when Sloan encouraged me to write this book, and then my publishers, Carrie at Harper Collins, and then Jill Fritzel, my publicist, who's here tonight. They all encouraged me, and we're like, this is great, we're going to do a rollout, write this book, like, you know, and just a badass team of women who got behind me and were, like, pushing me to tell my story because I was kind of scared to. And so here we are on a book tour. With all of you, with a thousand of you.

What were some of your, like, what was your favorite thing to write in the book? And what do you think was the hardest for you to write about? That's a good question. My favorite thing is probably the ending. Because it was a good. is like building my empire alongside daddy, getting to raise you. And I know that sounds corny, but it's the only thing that fucking brought me happiness in the book if you really think about it.

Like, if you read the entire book, you're like, damn, this bitch is one sad fucking bitch. You know, like, when does it start getting good? I think somebody left me a comment the other day, and they're like, what chapter do you meet jelly? And I was like, damn. I was like, damn, buddy, read the fucking book, you know? But I definitely...

He was like, where's that a fair? Where does you cry? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think really just the happy ending, and that's why it took me so long to write this book because I started writing it in 2019. And I still think we're working on the happy ending. Like, it's the happiest.

And I think a happy ending is always a work in progress. But, yeah, that's why we're here. If you cry, I cry. Don't do it. Don't do it. We don't say stuff that makes us cry. Don't make us emotional. It's emotional tonight.

You sold out to TPEC. I love. I love relishing in this moment with you. I think this is not only the most beautiful thing for our family, but for the family that we've created with everybody that's been a part of this, and the family that you guys have become for us. I think it's really, really empowering and incredible to recognize this moment and its full vitality,

and you have been struggling to do that. And I love you, and I'm your daughter, and I'll call you out. I think you deserve the moment, this moment, to just look and just see it. Thank you. She's always telling me, Mom. Take a deep breath. Slow down. You need to enjoy this.

She's always encouraging me. I love her so much, man. So while we're relishing in this at the same time, I want to know what's next. Where does authorship lead to you? What a segue, dude. She needs to be the podcast host over here. We need to put her in the news.

Gail King, watch out. We love you, Gail. Shout out, Gail. I think we are, I don't know if I'm allowed to say it, but I think hopefully we will, this book will become A movie. We'll see if that happens. So who wants to hear Jelly stop talking and sing?

Welcome to the stage, my husband, my sweet little daddy. I love you so much, baby. Y'all might have I seen a couple songs for y'all? Give it up for Andy, play with the guitar. Uh-oh. Chelsea, go. She wants you to show, never mind. I'm not showing my boots.

Is it a boob game, Tim? always wants to play boob games no I I said this earlier but first of all thank y'all for coming out for my wife man it's a she's way too humble man she was back there talking we were listening to her all night and the truth is she sold every one of these tickets that none of y'all really came here to see me I'm a bonus Leo was a bonus shine down was a bonus this is y'all came here to see a woman who y'all listened to in your car with a dumb blonde podcast a woman that is as supports women and women empowerment.

Just thank y'all. As an old Tennessee boy, looking out seeing my dude with a pink bunny shirt even. It's just, that's, this is my soul. But I did ask her selfishly if I could sing tonight because I never got to sing at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. And as a local boy, this is a really big deal.

I've been coming to the Pulp Theater a long time and I think I'm gonna try to sing. This is Andy, he's a camera man, but he's a really good guitar boy. And let's play something they know. Somebody has been so living in where they say my lifestyle It's bad for my head It's the only thing

That seems to hate All of this drinking and smoking is hopeless But feel like it's all that I need Something inside of me is broken I hold on to his head Anything that sets me free Don't waste your time I'm so damaged beyond repair

Life is shattered my hopes and my dreams I'm okay Don't waste your time on me I'm so damn it's beyond repair Life and Get me wide wide open Pushing about a hundred and two Always smoking something he ain't worried about nothing because he ain't got

Hollick on ice, Sundays long nights, marbles up the window, middle fires to the sky, say you want to get dangerous, now you speak in my language, I forgot what your name is, so I'm gonna call you mine Oh, I'm gonna call you mine Oh They got me wide wide open 45 on him then he push about a hundred and two always smoking something he ain't worried about nothing cuz he ain't got nothing I'm attracted to things that are really shaded asking me how they're feeling

funny coming from mine and this through a vives over the silent no silly faces no back for for thought no bitching them I'm arguable a whole lot of problems living in gotham but buddy's my heart is when The police in your dog Forgive me I'm guarded I have no shame I'm in love with the heart of it The police will never take a smile

A Capra set Pat open got a 45 on him And he pushes better Always honky Nothing because he ain't got What's it like This has been so big Two, three, four

I'll spend more Sunday drunk I don't know what to say Be throwing up prayer still there Lord stand me Oh my God oh my God Just spare he throwing up prayer Like hell is he If you still there

You expect to save you If I all need a friend We absolutely love you Most importantly National, that's where we're going right now Good night now
