I'm not like, but listen to Los Coleristas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. On paper, the three hosts of the Nick Dick and Poll show are geniuses.

So I know we're after New Year's because the holidays are falling a little funky this year. So this is post-New Year's and technically we are in. in 2025, but I'm still doing here the top bits of 2024 from the Bobby Bone show for this week. And yes, Best Bits Part 1 and Part 3 this weekend are new content. I had Skibbis-Steve come in and record some stuff with me before we left for the holiday. So it's all new and you can get some fun conversation over there about New Year's reflection of 2024 and some holiday stuff over there too. Without further ado, let's get into it.

The Best Bits of 2024. This one blew up on our social media. Bobby had shared what things cost to Taylor Swift. Like a house to a normal person is this, but to Taylor Swift, it's this much. And all kinds of things like that. And this one just blew up. People were like, what and crazy? Also, how is this possible?

So that's what you're going to hear right now. What do things cost to Taylor Swift versus how it costs to the average person? Number seven. Taylor Swift is now the richest female musician with an estimate. a net worth of $1.6 billion. So what I like to do is see how much things feel like they cost to Taylor based on what it would cost, what it would feel like to cost to the normal person. For example, if you were to go buy some Lulu Lemon leggings, $98.

Yeah. For Taylor, if she were to buy those, Amy, that would feel like she's spending 11 cents. Oh, wow. That's cool for her. A dinner for two at Nobu, which is the very fancy place in Los Angeles, Miami, New York. If you go, it's like 700 bucks. For Taylor, 81 cents. Yeah.

Wow. A new iPhone. Big purchase for some folks, especially if you don't have it like in your plan where they give it to you for free. If you don't like renew your plan for the three years. A new iPhone, $1,200. For Taylor, feels like $1.87.

Wow. A new average car in the United States. The average car is about $40,000. To Taylor, $37. Okay. Get her a $30 car. Gosh, that's awesome. and the average home in the United States

is $300,000. For Taylor to buy that home, it would cost her to us, $400. Imagine all the houses we could have for $400. That would be awesome. Just the house doesn't go low. $400,000 a house? Dang.

So good for her, though. Those shows, I've never seen anything like it. I've never seen anything like it. They sell out so fast. You're talking about football stadiums. And like, even when she changes, like, a new dress in her show, it's like a new story. It's like Taylor has decided to,

wear a gold snake dress instead of the green one and then like pops up in my feed. Yeah, it sounds like anything I've ever seen as far as like pop stars. And Morgan Wallen, they announced he had the highest, the biggest country tour of all time. And it's for two reasons. One, he sells out football stadiums, right? Because like Kenny's done it. There's only a few artists they've ever sold at football stadiums. Garth, Wallin, Kenny, Zach Bryan does it now.

Luke Combs has done it a few times. but also the ticket prices, concert tickets cost so freaking much and like the extra good tickets are like even higher than what inflation is for like this year versus 50 years ago. And they also have this ticket gauge thing where the more in demand they raise the prices of the tickets.

So but that's the, some of those are being the resold ones. Not always. Oh. Yeah. It's called like dynamic ticket pricing. And I'm not saying this happens, But that happens too where it's like buying a ticket on Southwest Airlines, meaning the ticket prices go. It's the same.

You get a seat, but the less, the fewer tickets are, the higher the ticket cost is. Oh, because see, I just thought that Taylor would maybe. I don't know that Taylor does dynamic tickets. I know that at times. Because I'm like, you just went over those numbers. Like, she could lower them a little bit. You know, if people are buying them, why? I know.

I know, I know. Dynamic ticket pricing is a strategy that increases prices when demand is high and decreases when demand is high. and decreases when demand is low. It is used by many industries, including entertainment, and they go through all of it. But, yeah, that's what the airlines do. That's why a ticket, if you get it last minute, cost so much. You're getting the same seat you would have got

if you'd have bought it three weeks ago. But yeah, I know Morgan Wallen, biggest country tour, and Taylor Swift, it's wild. And she can get a house for $400. How crazy is that. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. American soccer is about to explode. The World Cup is coming.

Ramers. sending on to Ernie Stewart for chip. I'm Tad Ramos. I'm Tom Boe. On our podcast, Inside American Soccer, you'll get the real storylines. I'm not worried about Policic. I'm not worried about Balligan. I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back.

The biggest decisions. If you're going to look at stats and numbers, he has no shot at making this World Cup team. And the truth about the U.S. national team. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our... our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us.

I think I had like $200 in my savings account, and my mom goes, what are you going to do? And I was like, I'll figure it out. We got a one-bedroom apartment for like $400 a month, and we all could not afford. Like, I was like, how am I going to make $100 a month? I'm opening up like I've never before.

to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the I-Heart

radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught.

Financial education is not always about like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever.

you get your podcast. Hey, earners, what's up? Look, money is something we all deal with, but financial literacy is what helps turn income into real wealth. On each episode of the podcast, Earn Your Leisure, we break down the conversations you need to understand money, investing, and entrepreneurship. From stocks and real estate to credit, business, and generational wealth,

we translate complex financial topics into real conversations everyone can understand. Because the truth is, most people will never taught how money really works. But once you understand the system, you can start to build within it. That means ownership, smarter investing, and creating opportunities not just for yourself, but for the next generation. If you want to learn how to build wealth, understand the markets, and think like an owner. Earn Your Leisure is the podcast for you.

Listen to Earn Your Leisure on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. There was some clothing drama on the show this year, but this one stood out in particular. Lungebox wore a hoodie to the CMA Awards, and it was the hottest of hot topics. Not just within our show, but on our social media. It was controversial all the way around. And it still is a running joke. And maybe one of the most infamous hoodies to ever exist. Number six.

I was looking at pictures I was not able to go to the CMAs last night, regretfully. I've been sick the last few days even here on the show. So, Amy, you look great. Eddie looked great. Oh, thanks, man. Morgan, I saw your video where you're like, I'm just a girl that's kind of wet from a shower and I'm not going out. And you did your hand swipe, boom, and then she's like in her dress.

You know, one of those things is good. And then you guys can help me because I only saw a picture. Was lunchbox in a hoodie? Yes. Confirmed. Yeah, like a sweatshirt hoodie. But it was a nice. I just saw the group picture.

Not just our show, but they did a picture of like everybody who won. And every single person's in a suit or like a really nice dress and lunchbox is in a hoodie. But I would, I'm not judging yet. We all love to judge on the show, but I would like to hold back for a second. What, what was that? What do you mean? It was an outfit. It's called style.

No one told me that I had to wear a suit. No one said there's a dress code. You've been to that many times. Justin Bieber goes to something. He wears a hoodie. People say, oh, fashion. I wear a hoodie and it's like the worst thing in the world. I don't think it's the worst thing in the world.

No, no, no, no. No, no, no. He's not judging you yet. No, no. I'm not asking you to be defensive. They are not jumping in because they've already all made fun of you behind your back. So I'm, but I'm talking. Oh, no, no.

They made fun of me to my face. When I walked in, Morgan did a double thing and goes, are you wearing a hoodie? Okay, hold on. It's just me and you're talking here. And then I'm going to, Eddie says, are you going to change? And then Mike D's wife first thing she says to me, he goes, I see you got your nicest clothes out. And here's my thing. If I went out to Morgan and said, you look like crap.

No, but Morgan was dressed appropriately for like what they, they say, you know, it's like, whatever. the style of dress. It's like black tie. It's like people are wearing this is also what I like to do. Everybody else, shut up. Yes, sir. Except for lunchbox night because he's going to get mad at you guys and I'm not trying to talk to him like I'm upset or irritated. I don't, and see, here's the thing. Oh boy. No, no, let's take it down. Let's take it down half

a notch. Just me and you talking. If I went up to a girl and said, why are you wearing that crap? I'm a jerk, right? But Morgan does it to me and it's, oh, cool. If I told her your dress looks like trash, how would she feel? Well, I don't think, I liked your hoodie, by the way.

See, I, here's the thing. I don't give a crap what they think. I liked your hoodie. I did think that it was a bit underdressed for the occasion, but I just wondered what your thought was. I thought it was a nice event.

It's a nice hoodie. It ain't some trash hoodie that I wear every day. I think some of your hoodies are nice you're wearing here. Red Clay Strays today. I love that man. I wore it today because I saw them last night. There you go. So yeah, I thought it's

no one said anything about a dress code or what you're supposed to wear, just said, hey, we're going to the CMAs. I'm like, cool, man, this is a nice hoodie that is expensive. Gotta love you for being you. And I wore it, and I wasn't worried about it. And not one person was like, oh, my gosh, we can't let you in because you have a hoodie on. Cool. Great.

Yeah. Yeah. Great. I have said nothing to the fact of I am upset or irritated. I just saw it and thought, is that real? Or it's like a fun picture he took after he changed out of his suit. Scuba. Everybody else, mouth shut, please.

Yeah, yeah, what's up? Scuba, you're the executive producer of this show? Yes. You know, of course, my name's on it, but like, you run this thing. No doubt about it. As that guy, what were your thoughts? Well, I guess my first question would be, you get the CMA emails, right? Lunchbox, they come through about to vote for this and here's information for this, here's tickets and all that.

And I voted. Gotcha. And one of those emails, there's an important line here. It says attire and additional information. It says, the CMA Awards encouraged you to honor the tradition of country music's biggest night by dressing in black tie or formal attire. I do that. I didn't know that. I just see everybody else doing it every year.

Well, yeah, and everyone else is doing it as well. I will say it was a really nice hoodie for him. It was more of an upgrade from what we normally see. So I could see in his eyes, he's like, well, I wore a really nice hoodie. This is like my black tie. Okay. Fair enough. Maybe he's toned up to the audience.

Jelly roll wasn't in a suit. No one seemed to complain about that. And I wore sunglasses, so I kind of like didn't care a little bit myself. but I still wore like a suit and looked somewhat nice. But I just think maybe he doesn't understand in his world. He thinks that was awesome. That's on us then. You know what?

That's on me as the leader to not go and say, hey, be sure to wear a suit. I mean, I got that hoodie from Nordstrom, not even Nordstrom rack. But also I think, too, he wasn't sure he was going to make it as well because his wife was doing something. So I think he was like scrambling last second and put something together. They want his best hoodie. Okay, that's on me.

And I knew it matched because it was black and white, so I knew it matched with black jeans. Wait, wait, what's on you? I don't understand. Well, when there's a mistake, it falls on a leader. If there's a mistake that happens with this show. Yeah. And it could, because even one of our executives reach out to me saying, was this a bit.

Oh, the hoodie? Yes. And I said, not that I know of. Because I didn't. I didn't know what to say. He looked, he looked nice. Yes, for him. He had jeans that fit.

Like, really, the jeans were nice. The hoodie was. you could tell he just bases things off of where he bought it and how expensive it is. Showing up to a funeral and a tank top and jorts. And you're like, well, I'm wearing clothes. Well, but that. I hear you. I hear you.

It was still up level for him. Yes. It is my fault. Because I will take and I will message that executive back. Because listen, no executives is in our show. They only care about us when we get in trouble. Nobody cares. So I'll message the executive and be like, you know what?

That's on me. It was a bit. It was like, what was the nicest hoodie he could find to wear? And that's, we're good. That's on me. It is my fault. I thought you looked great. I thought you were a bit underdressed for this occasion, but that's on me for not explaining

that everybody needed to wear what the email said in the official rules of black tie. Yeah, I still, I mean, I'm looking through this email and I don't see that anywhere, man. But also, can I have one other thing? And I mean, it's because I feel this way about me too. You're not jelly roll or Justin Bieber. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, really? Yes, he is.

Yeah. But here's the thing. People, fashion is different for everybody. I agree. And so, like, for you to say, oh, you can't wear this or you can't wear that. I didn't say that. I'm saying that I think the hoodie looks great. It is my fault that I didn't express to everybody that you need to do what's traditionally done that you guys have seen for like, I don't know, eight or nine years in a row.

Maybe longer. Yeah. And the bit that I suggested of lunchbox can you wear the nicest hoodie he can find was not the greatest idea for me to do that bit. Link link. I don't want him to get in trouble because I have a feeling that they're going to be like, you guys are disrespect. You know, these executives are. So that's my, everybody, that was my bit. I made it up.

It was bad taste, man. If you think that was bad, he should hear his speech. He took over and did the speech at the awards. In the hoodie? In the hoodie. Front and center doing a speech. Do we have audio of that? Oh, we got audio of it.

I don't play it yet because I don't think I'm in the place to hear it. Well, I'm on the place. Everybody hold. I have a question though. We can play in the next segment. I just, I need a break. Okay.

So can I tell like when a woman says that to her, I'm like, well, why are you wearing a trash bag? Is that okay? Morgan didn't say it looked bad. It was you were underdressed according to the dress code. I mean, show me a dress code. I mean. I was saying your eyes for the past 10 years. But it doesn't matter.

It's my fault. It's my fault. Please, everybody, thank you for remaining quiet during this segment. And it's my fault. Okay, that's all. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. This is not one that I would typically share because it's a little weird for me, but it was highly viewed, lots of engagement on this across the board. So I'm putting it here just in case you missed an update. I think if you follow me on social media or have listened to the show since I made this announcement, you're well aware of where things are now. But in case you didn't, and you're just catching up on the show now in fall of 2024, I had to announce some sad news

in regards to man in uniform. Number five. This is what's referred to as a Band-Aid segment where I don't tease it. There's no build-up to it. We just ripped the Band-Aid off. I've never called it that until now, but if you ever hear of a Band-Aid segment, that's what it's going to be for now on. Okay. I didn't before going into the segment, I didn't tease anything. Um, Band-Aid segment. Ready? Go ahead. Um, man in uniform and I broke up. What? Oh. So that is Morgan. Oh, boy. Didn't want to do a big bit build out. Don't lunchbox. Well, Morgan also, I've known for a bit. because I will try to make sure that the show doesn't migrate to going in on something just to give her a little space. And so she was like, hey, this happened.

So cool. I felt like it's my job to protect her for a little bit. So if it goes somewhere, I can boot it out until she's comfortable, right? A little behind the scenes. She did also come and say, I would like to say it now and get it over with because it will be brought up again in normal discussion. And I commend her for that because she's looking out for herself by doing that. but this is always a hard segment. So I'm also vamping here to let her catch your breath again

because I know that was hard for her to say. So we're going to give you all the space that you want or need and you can lead us in whichever direction you like, Morgan. I was completely blindsided. I didn't know this was coming. I didn't see it coming. I protected myself in every way that I possibly could and thought that I had found somebody that this was it.

And you guys heard that and me talking about it on the show. But he, as we were about to move in together, I guess you could say he had. As you what to move in together? We were about to move in together. Got it. Had a epiphany. Man in uniform is Jewish and decided because I'm not Jewish.

That's not what he wanted. So we had. multiple conversations about it. I thought we were on the same page, which is why I was completely blindsided, but I guess we weren't. And that's where we are now. Can I give you a, oh, it's such a light, like fractional positive? Can I give you a fractional positive? You didn't pick a freaking loser. And I think that that for the first time, like as your friend, like that's big growth. This sucks for it. Now, no, I'm not taking away. This sucks for you in any way. But I think that you're maturing and actually knowing what you want in a relationship.

And from our life with you, I think you have started to look for more quality guys and for what they stand for and believe in. And I know right now it doesn't help you feel better. But like this is a mild win in your growth as a human that I totally get. If you guys aren't compatible on that level, don't go further at all. and I'm sure it hurts for both of you and sucks for both of you. And I'm going to stop talking because I'm not even sure what I can even ask. But that really sucks.

I mean, you can ask that I do feel good about the fact that I finally found someone who gave me hope that there are good men out there. But it sucks all the more because of that, again, because I was blindsided and thinking that this was, this was it. Did he want you convert? Was that it? No, you know, really like, I don't think that would have mattered. Was he practicing or born or both? Born. Okay.

So does he practice Judaism? Was that? It's more the culture thing. Got it. Not as much practicing, which is why, like, when we had conversations about it, it kind of really threw me because I didn't see that at all. And that's why when we were to have conversation about it, I thought we were on the same page.

But as, you know, we got more serious and stuff, it just became that that's going to be more important for him in the future, I suppose. Does he want to find a Jewish wife? Yeah. I think good job by him because this definitely could have gone a lot farther and he could have pulled that thread a little later, which would have been even harder. I think good job by you, by picking somebody that was worth the crap.

It still very much sucks, and I'm very sorry because I know you're, like fundamentally you are excited about the future. And that's, you'll look back at this as big time growth, big time growth. You can't right now. It sucks. It really sucks. I'm sorry. Yeah, there's not a lot of people out there that can relate to this particular topic, which also makes it harder and really hard for me to understand. But I do.

I am really happy that one day I can look at this scenario and know that I found somebody that was good and I now can see out there that there is going to be good. I think this is actually something that happens more than you think. And I'm not saying you're specific Jewish and Christian, but I think there are a lot of couples that struggle with, again, I'll use the word like fundamental foundation, that they don't come from that same spiritual background or even same religion and they have to figure a way to make it work.

I have very close friends that have gone through some extremely difficult times because they do have like a, they even call it like a split. I think interfaith. And it's difficult, but it's, again, it's really great that you guys identified that now because it just would have been way way way harder. And then you're sharing right now even as hard as it is, it may prompt conversations that other people need to have. Like hearing this, like even though it's painful and hard,

somebody listening right now is going to be encouraged of like, oh, this is a conversation that I haven't had yet in my relationship and I maybe need to do it. And it may help them get through either whatever direction they're going to go. It's a conversation that sometimes people, avoid or don't realize until it gets too late. And they're like, oh, shoot, we didn't discuss this. And what if we wouldn't have kids?

And then how are we going to raise them? And, you know, it's snowballs. So is there a chance you guys have a discussion about it later and change your minds? I don't think so. We had a follow-up conversation after the breakup happened. And he seemed very sure in his decision. so I don't think there's anything that I could have done or could do differently for him.

And that sucks for me. But I do still believe he's a great human, which also sucks. And two things can be true at the same time. One, this sucks. I'm really sorry because it sucks. And your heart hurts and hate that for you as a person. But it also, I think, is a good thing that it happened now and not later after you lived with each other and made it even harder,

which would then make if you did decide to get married and keep hunting it kicking the can. God dang. It had made it so much worse, so I am thankful for that. Well, everyone. It really hurts really bad right now. I'm sure it does. Sorry, Morgan.

And I know lunchbox his eyes got big because he was going to be like, Love Bomb told you, but it wasn't that at all. And then you know what? He did he, his eyes got lowered his head down real quick because he wasn't going to say anything. I got a couple theories. There aren't theories to have. She told you what happened. No. I don't even know that

It's too soon This is why right at the beginning I'm like lunchbox I looked at him and I was like Lunchbox no Maybe that's why he looked back That's why I looked down Maybe he's colded me

She's clearly in pain right now Are you scolded him mid segment? No right at the beginning Did you see I looked back And I go lunchbox Because I knew he was about to just like Go in What's one of the theories?

Well part of my Just hearing her talk Okay Is he got cold feet About the moving in because she said we were about to move in together and so he looked for the one thing that he knew he could use as the excuse

because she said they had multiple conversations about it and they were on the same page. So I think the moving in like freaked him out. Well, let's go to Morgan. Morgan, your thoughts on that theory. I don't think it was that because he's the one who brought it up. I was never pursuing that. That was never something that I pushed

and it came very naturally into the conversation and he was very consistent. There was even like a moment where I was like, I'm not getting rid of any of my stuff because we're not married and I'm not going there. I don't want to do this. And he assured me that this is happening and we were moving forward.

So there was no part of me that believed the cold feet thing was going to happen. Okay, that's one theory. Get it out. Second theory. Get out of the way. Is that he had been. been waiting to meet me

and then now that he did he was like all right I can break up that one I can probably co-sign oh my god yeah because I've happened with a lot of us I met him like a week and a half ago and then it's like all right now that I got to meet lunch I can so the whole relationship he was just using her to get to you sounds like it I mean he did ask me if I wanted to go run with him

that's true that's the one guys I can kind of co-sign again I gotta believe Morgan it really sucks we're laughing now because we're just trying to lighten it up a little bit but weaker people have gotten through harder things and you're going to crush this, you're going to grow from it, you're going to learn from it. You didn't pick a loser, and I think, as funny as that sounds for me to say, like, that shows your growth.

And I'm sorry it happened. You know, I will say there's a moment for me this weekend as I'm trying to process everything. I was, my dog that you had mentioned, that my new foster sunshine got adopted, and I was taking her to her new home. And I looked at her and I was like, you're so special. And I know this is scary and I know that you're afraid of what's to come, but this is going to be so beautiful for you. And as I was telling her that, I was like, what the crap am I doing? Why can I say that to her? But I can't say it to myself right now.

And there was some healing in that. So that was kind of a bright spot amongst all of this as well. Would it help you if we promoted your podcast? At least you get some streams from a podcast from this. I think that would be good. Good idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Morgan, the name of your podcast is?

Take this personally. Oh, no. What? That's the name of her podcast. Yeah, maybe he took something personally from the podcast. It's so dumb. Stick with the theory he wanted to meet you. Right.

That's the better one. You got roll with that one. Check out Morgan's podcast. Take this personally. We care about you? You're going to be fine. It sucks right now and that's okay. And it should suck right now.

Are you back on hinge? It's been like a weekend. Like lunchtime. All right. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. American soccer is about to explode. The World Cup is coming. Ramos sending on the only store at the chip.

If you're going to look at stats and numbers, he has no shot at making this World Cup team. And the truth about the U.S. national team. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us.

takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great.

It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a a strong financial legacy for your family.

From stocks and real estate to credit, business, and generational wealth, we translate complex financial topics into real conversations everyone can understand. Because the truth is, most people will never taught how money really works. But once you understand the system, you can start to build within it.

That means ownership, smarter investing, and creating opportunities not just for yourself, but for the next generation.

You look like you love me, and if you have not managed to hear that song this year, props to you, but also maybe turn on your phone.

I'm not sure what's happening there. Go listen to that one, particularly. We had Ella Langley in studio to talk all about the collaboration and how it happened. And then Riley Green came in and they performed the song together. So I can't put their performance here, but you can watch that on our YouTube page. Right now, you're going to hear the interview with Ella and then a little bit with Riley as well. Number four. Here we go.

On the Bobby Bone Show now. Ella, I became a big fan just by TikTok. I mean, you pop it up in an algorithm because obviously I have a lot of country music and algorithm. them and it's been really cool to watch it organically like especially this song just become a monster yeah i don't know what does that felt like to you is like more people recognizing you more people come into when you're playing like what's been happening well um i've wanted to do this my whole entire life this isn't something i just kind of stumbled upon and was like yeah i like playing guitar or i love singing like this is just like it's it's like a limb it's just something i was always going to do

this um I mean, I've been working really hard at it for a minute. I moved here five years ago, and before that, I was going to school at Auburn. You went to school to Auburn? Yeah, yeah, I went for the two years when I went to school. And then I dropped out and moved here. But, yeah, I just play a lot of cover gigs. I started out restaurants.

I mean, literally every kind of gig you can play, I've done it. Whatever you can travel therein, I've done that too. Like just traditional, someone moves to Nashville. Yeah. With a dream, you're playing anything you can play to make money to survive so you can chase the bigger dream. and but then this song hits so hard again I would just start singing it forgetting where I would even have heard it yeah because it would pop up and not just in your videos it would start to be used in other places too I just wonder what that feels like when something starts to build wherever it

starts to build do you actually day to day feel again more people pursuing like your music or is it like man I know it's blowing up but I'm really not seeing it yet No, I'm seeing it. I'm seeing it. This song is crazy. That's what I was saying. I've been doing this for so long, and it's been a slow climb, and I've put out single after single and kind of just organically grown fans. But this song, it's, the things it's done, and we didn't even plan on, this. This song was never supposed to leave my audio recordings on my phone. I wrote it as a joke with Aaron Raytier first, and then the label heard it and loved it, and then Riley asked us on tour, and him and I just kind of being from the same area growing up on the same kind of music, and I was thinking maybe we could do it out in the road. that's why I asked him to do it and I was like hey just kind of write the second verse how you would respond to a girl coming up to you

in the bar like that What I like about it is it's so old school talky singing which very much happened in the 40s 50s like it sounds super super super traditional

with people that aren't born in the 40s in the 50s Is that probably why it wasn't supposed to be more than a voice recording because you thought I don't know will anybody even think this is

a legitimate song? No. I think it's just kind of more, I'm drunken, I'm ready to leave. You know, it's kind of silly, you know, but yeah, I guess it's a little bit of a risk, you know, just because it's not something, it's not the popular thing to do, you know, and traditional country is only just now kind of coming back. So, yeah, I don't know, but I grew up on it. I love it, and I'm just kind of doing what I love to do and not what I think other people think they want me to do. Did anybody suggest that you change some of when you recorded it some of like the talking parts of the song yeah we went back and forth a lot on it on singing

singing it on all kinds of different things i never wanted to sing i never wanted a song i'm never going to release a version where it's sung i think you should it's awesome how it is yeah that my argument to the label was every other song i've put out sings the verses so can i not just have one that doesn't um man that's why sticks out so much though right yeah well that i mean i just thought a girl walking up to a guy in a bar You know, it's like that's also not a common thing in country. Well, not over the past 10 years. Now recently it has been, but yeah, so I don't know.

It's kind of a risque thing to do, but it's crazy to see the reaction. I just started my first headlining tour, and it's a little nerve-wracking to have such a viral song and wonder, are they going to be here just for that? But I put out my debut record, which is what you look like you love me, came off of. And they're singing every word to every song. They're listening to the whole thing, and it's just wild. It's like I'm just watching my dreams come true. It's that one viral thing, though, that gets them to even pay attention to the rest, right?

Yeah, well, it's also cool, too. Just a lot of these fans are not just the song, but, you know, I saw you out with Randy Houser. That was my first tour three years ago, or I saw you with John Party, or I saw you a Riley, or, you know, it's a lot of these fans see we've grown through playing so many shows over the years and just working hard that way. But, yeah, it's wild to see when that song, when we went da-da-da-da-da-da-da. We did it in Hyde Park too.

That was probably the wildest time thus far. It was 50,000 people. That's crazy. We opened it for Morgan. And it was just crazy. That was probably the first time I had seen a crowd, a mass amount of people seeing words that I had written, and for it to be 50,000 people in the UK was,

it was just hard to, I don't know, it's hard to put. into words almost. I remember I had my ears in because when you're way, way out there, the slap back was so bad. So it's like you can't keep up with the drum. You got to keep your ears in. So it's hard to hear the crowd. And I kind of remember walking back being like, that was crazy. I just like, I don't know if I registered anything. And I was like walking back thinking like just a normal time of us singing the song. And everyone that was like on both of our teams, I was like, was that crazy? And they showed me back the video. And me and Riley both watched it.

And it was just like massive. So I think that's but when we. We both realized it was like the song is doing something ridiculous. And also, I mean, Riley's a massive star. And he's like perfect for the song as well. Yeah. Like all the stars kind of aligned with him going, yeah, I'll do the song. That's cool. And he's also a big star.

And it works with him. Yeah. What was the ad? How did you ask him? Hey, you want to do this song? Well. Text him a version of it. Was it always a duet?

No, I mean, like I said, I wrote it just for fun. I mean, it wasn't like... But you didn't write for fun, like, another... A duet? No, no, no, no. I just, I was just listening to it after we cut it. It was not going to be a duet right when we first cut it, but... Riley asked us on tour right around the same time, so I don't know.

I just thought of the idea. I was like, God, what if we asked Riley to sing the second verse? And then we could do it on the road. And obviously, I didn't think it would just do what it's doing now. It's hard to expect something like this, but... So did you have a second verse before he came in? Yeah, and that's what I'm singing out on the... Actually, we wrote a lot of...

of verses. When we wrote the song, we just kind of giggled and wrote as many verses as we had in us, and then we just picked our favorite ones. So I kind of throw those alt verses in the live show right now. I usually start off with like, before there was a man named Riley Green singing this song, and then all the girls were like, ah! And then I'm like, ah, I was singing the second verse. Yeah, I tried to get Riley do a duet with me. He turned it down, so I was just jealous. He didn't, he didn't like that. Well, really, my manager, Bradley Jordan, he's, he's kind of, he's, he's and I met Riley, and he's just helpful a lot of artists coming up, but he showed it to him. I was like, and then, and then, yeah, I think, actually, I played a show with Riley and I went on his bus,

and I said, I think my first line was, Riley, do you like making money? That was my first pick-up. That was my first line, and didn't know he was going to do anything from there, but I started. And now he makes money. He does. He makes it, makes it anyway, but he makes more now, which is always fun. I'm being told that Riley just arrived Riley Green has entered the building So why don't we Take a break Ella Langley's here

Is that true Scuba's Riley here? Yep Yeah he's in the green room Okay Riley Green has entered the building Wow there are There's underwear being thrown at him

As he walks down through the hallway This is wild We don't even know There's nobody else in the whole building Underware still landing on his head We'll be back in one second We'll get Riley in studio You guys will perform it?

Yeah All right back in one second Okay so Ella Langley's here Riley Green has entered the room. Riley, good to see you, buddy. Yeah, thanks for having me. Thanks for coming up. And so I think what we'll do first, if you don't mind, why, I would love to hear the song

live and then we can just talk a little more. You guys are good with that? Let's do it. Okay. So this is a song that I love that I'm playing on the show. And I sometimes sing it and wonder, where did I hear it? And then realize it was on like nine different videos from nine different people. And this is called You Look Like You Love Me. It's Ella Langley and Riley Green.

Host the live performance on the podcast. How many times do you guys have played this? together now. First time. It's great. It was good. Hey, you nailed the first one. I don't think we've done it the same time twice.

It's the same way twice. Yeah. No. Over 50 now at this point? Can you like, because again, when you... I'm not good with numbers, but I would say 10. Oh, okay. So, still...

Wow. Yeah, that's wrong. See, I'm not good with that. I don't know. I don't know. Probably like, us together, probably like... I'll say it's gotten louder every time we've played it, which has been really fun to watch. Why did you see?

say yes to the song? Well, I've always liked Ella. She's from Alabama, very, very country, musically and in spiritually. And we just grew up the same way. Bradley Jordan, her manager's a really good buddy of mine, and he kind of put me on to her. And I just like to see good folks do well. And she was on tour with me. I thought it made a lot of sense. I thought the song was fun. Had no clue it was a giant hit. I thought talking verses was probably a little too old school. a little too traditional, but how cool is it that a song that this country is doing this well? When did you start to notice, oh crap, this is a monster? Like, did it randomly ever just come up or were your people just letting you know?

Well, no, I mean, I've never had any type of, I guess what you would call is like viral. Sure. And this song is really like viral. I mean, I can barely work TikTok. I don't really know how that works, but it's just everywhere. So you'd get your phone out and it was every scroll, would you hear this? song playing. So I guess that was kind of the eye-opening thing about it, but

certainly playing it at a show. I think maybe yeah, I mean, some of the stuff I would just kind of randomly bring L up and we would do a couple of songs together and we did this one a couple of times and it just didn't take long. That's crazy. That's so cool. Because it organically happened,

right? Like you... And any creator, any musician and the artist, you're always one really special piece of content away from having a real shot going viral. You never know what it can be. And there are people that it's a weird dynamic because you know, you're like, you don't want to give it too much power. But also if it's really good and nobody's giving it a chance, sometimes the chances right here, like just a platform that is able to be

used. And I think this is one of those examples of 500 executives are going to hear that song and go, like, well, you just said, Riley, it's maybe this is a little too old school. We're probably not going to invest any money. However, the people freaking loved it. And that's what makes all the difference in it. Even now after you wrote it, you're like, I don't know that anybody will ever hear this. Well, yeah, I mean, I just kind of, like, my whole goal for writing the song was just to, honestly, this is this when I was still playing a lot of rounds in town. Is you just have a song when, like, no one's listening and they're all talking to maybe they'd laugh a little bit because I'm talking in the verses, you know. But yeah, Maya Hansen, she works on my team and she heard it. And she just was like, dude, you've got to, you've got to send this in.

And I just fought it for so long. This is the first time you put it up, that people reacted to it? it take a few times. No, no, it did not. It just wasn't that hard. Like I just posted one, we are out on the roads, I think on the West Coast, towards the end of the tour, and I just posted like a video of me doing the verse, and that's it. And it just, that's kind of what started it. And then I did one other video of just me singing the chorus, and that's the sound that everyone's been using. But then whenever we did Red Rocks and posted us, that he's actually on the song, and then, yeah, when we did it for the show, the last,

day of the tour too. I'm a sports nerd and I like sports memorabilia. This is going to be a A segue. You're going to see I'm such a loser. This is how I heard the song the first time. As I was watching this sports memorabilia being

broken, the song's playing in the background and I'm like, that sounds like Riley. I don't know who the girl is. What is that song? I hear it as a background sound when I'm watching them freaking break signed helmets. And so I've searched for a couple things I heard. That's where I heard it. Then it was so ubiquitous.

existing everywhere, then that's when I started to play it here. But like, congratulations. Like it's, it's, it's something that's so awkwardly awesome that it makes all the bit of sense. And it's why it resonates so much because it doesn't sound like everything else. Yeah. And it's good. Well, I think it's also like, kind of for this next record, I'm already working on it. But just like the creative freedom I have now just, it's like, there's literally no singing in the verses and the songs on radio, doing well right now and it's wild. So I kind of feel like it's kind of ripping the structure out of my head a little bit and just doing what feels good.

I mean, when I think about like Conway Loretta, because they were awesome. They do their music together. They do funny songs. They do talky songs. They do singing songs. That's what it kind of feels like to me. Yeah, you're the reason our kids are ugly. Yeah.

So, yeah, it's cool. That's a great one. You know the song? You're the reason our kid. Kids are ugly. Riley, I was talking about you on social media. I didn't know you're going to be here. and at one point I was like,

I want everybody to make sure that they know this is a compliment, but I was talking about how everybody knows you're a star and you have a lot of hits, but I don't think people understand the amount of megastar you are at shows, meaning what I compared it to is you have a lot of number one songs, a lot, and you have a very successful career, but any other people that I know

that have had that many number one songs, they don't have the crowds that you have. And I was talking about, the only other artists I've seen do it like this, kind of low-key megastar it, is Kane, Brown, who it took forever for people to understand the... Kane had built this following that... We're selling out arenas until people are like, oh, yeah, but that's you now.

And I think what you're doing is on such a level, and people don't even understand the level it's on right now. And I just want to, like, congratulate you and celebrate you, because you are killing it. So I was talking about you a little bit on something. Well, I took it as a compliment regardless of how you meant it. when I heard it, so I appreciate the kind words. And it's, man, it's a wild time. I think it has to do with a lot of putting out a lot of music. You know, I've got a lot of songs that haven't been on the radio

that people seem to know. And, you know, the song with Ella is a great example of you just never know what somebody's going to latch on to. You know, I thought the chorus was catchy, you know, in the song, and maybe it'd be a little bit of an earworm, but to see it be as big of a song it is, just proves you never know. And, you know, writing from where you come from,

and hopefully people can relate to it. And I think that's what Ella does really well. And it's working really well for us right now. So I'm blessed to be out here doing it. Are you on the road every weekend now? Yeah, I thought I was on the road today. You are on the road. Wake up.

Wake up. I had to come play a guitar gig today for Ella. Beautiful dream. That's my shit and guitar player. That's how big the song is. I'm playing guitar for Ella now. Ella Langley. And by the way, Ella's album is out.

It's called Hung Over. It came out in August. So hopefully you hear this song and what it does is you go, oh, I like that. Let me go check out some other stuff. That's the great thing about something popping. Is that people check out the other stuff if they like that. That was the plan.

Yeah, and Riley Green, maybe you've heard of them, a big deal. So does the line work, though? It depends what the girl looks like, how drunk the guy is. That's generally what it is. I'm waiting to hear about, like, you know, that pickup line got us married. Yes. I'm ready for that. Or you see this kid right here?

Thank you. Except it's like, see this kid, we're not married, but thank you. I said that, now it's an accident. You're welcome. Ella Riley, thank you guys for coming in. Appreciate it. Congratulations. Looking forward to Ellison, yeah, a whole lot more.

Thank you. There they are, Ellen Riley. Good job, everybody. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. Everybody's had something happen where they've gotten locked out of somewhere. But locked in is a kind of different story. And this happened to Amy. She got locked in her bedroom at her house and couldn't make it into the show.

and so it became this whole thing that played out on air. Number three. Breaking news. Breaking news. My first. Morning studio. Morning. Now, if you did not hear a special Amy voice, there's a reason why.

She's not here. What is happening? Oh, no. It's funnier and worse than you think, but funnier first. Breaking news. Having it against us is so breaking news. This has never happened. So before I come into work, I get a text from Amy.

And there's no, there's no letter. or words in the text, it's just a video. And I'm like, oh boy, what's happened here? And so, Amy sends me a video, and all you see is inside her bedroom and her door. And this is the, she's not here. This is the video she sends me. Literally locked in my room.

I'm trying to leave. And I can knock it out. And I don't know how it's happened or why. And my children are not coming for me. What? So, I'm watching her. She can't get her door not. doornave open.

She's locked in her bedroom? She's locked inside her room. Oh, no. And so, I'm laughing. And I'm like, first of all, you know how you're flustered if you're late? Yeah. Like the clock's a little late,

and you're like, oh my God, how am I going to catch up? First of all, I call her and I say, remove any fluster, because I know you're going to feel like that because you're coming in late. I said, second of all, this is hilarious. So I'm texting with her as I'm getting ready coming in, and I say,

ha, ha, oh no. and then I write window question mark and she goes my room's upstairs second floor oh I said battering ram yes oh good and I said are the kids there because it's so early you can wake them up I said 911 question mark

do we need to have lunchbox call oh yes I said prayer like I'm giving her all these options and how to break out of a room she said her son Stevenson is now awake trying to help I said don't worry about work don't stress out about it you're going to be fine and this is going to be good content

if that makes you feel any better. So then she sends me another video. Here we go. You should be able to hear a little clip. That's Stevenson. Okay. And that should work. But it's not working for my phone.

Don't budget it in. I'm not. I feel like I'm getting close to within a... They're trying to like pick the lock now. Her son, who's 13 or 14 now. Yeah, yeah. It's like going, okay, we're trying to pick, pick. And she's like, I got me too.

I love how he's taking charge, too. Well, he like passed her something under the door, like a little paperclip. But unless you like know how to do it, you've only seen it on TV and you don't know how to do it. Right. I've seen credit cards too. Even that, right? Like who's going to. Amy's trapped in her room right now.

Hilarious. That's great. What? That's great. For, for us to laugh at her. Or because you want more time. Both. Okay, cool.

But she should just break it down. I said she should knock the doorknob off. Like, how? How do you do that? You get a book or something to go whack and knock it off. See, that's in the movies too. I don't know. I think I could knock a doork.

Like at that point, just kick the door. Yeah, kick a hole through it. Problem with the door. Oh, kick a hole through it. Yeah, and then climb through. That's a big hole. You just get a new door. I hear you, but I would knock a doorknob off before I would get a new door.

But the problem with kicking the door, not a hole, but like kicking it open. The door opens from the inside. Right. So someone on the other side would have to kick it open. Okay, Stevenson. Kick it. We should call her in a minute. Okay.

Is she still stuck in there? Like right now? As of an update. Three minutes ago, she was still stuck in her room. This is never happened. We've been doing this show for a hundred years, it feels like. Like, I met Amy 20 years ago. No one has ever been locked in their house.

It almost feels hilarious. Like, can you actually get locked inside of somewhere? Right. It's like when someone's like, I'm locked inside my car. No, just pull the door handle. When you're inside, you just pull the handle and they unlocks. Dude, it sounds like they're working. hard open that and it's not moving.

So we're going to call her if she doesn't. Let me check and see if she texted. Oh, man. Ray, can you get her on the phone? Yep. hilarious. Oh, yeah, I was laughing out loud.

And that's why I wanted to call her to be like, don't feel like you're late and flustered because there's a lot of stuff that her and I do that she does before the show, lots of local liners and country minute for night shows. And I was like, don't worry about it. We'll take care of all that. So I've been doing a lot of her work,

and I'm happy to do it because it's so hilarious. Out of all the things, I didn't expect this one. Yeah. This is too good. I thought. I thought fender bender. Nothing major. Oh, got it.

Her driving record. Much like, I thought 10 car pile up. Multiple fatalities. Wait, what the? Did you notice she wasn't here, though? Yes. You didn't, okay, because her car wasn't here. Yeah.

Well, I just saw her not sitting at her chair. Security guy asked me. Have you seen Amy? I said, no. Oh, I didn't tell him. My bad. My bad. She probably tell him.

Well, I didn't. Yeah. I was laughing so hard. She should send her son to the neighbors This is also This is what people should do If you're late to work Do this

Yeah I thought of it No shut out No when you were telling the story I'm like this is genius You can't oh I think for you to do it tomorrow No you can't do that tomorrow I already know how this works Look Bobby I'm stuck

Okay so we're gonna try to call Amy This is a new Situation After 20 years We've never had this happen We can appreciate it for that Yes If she's still stuck

We're calling 911 because we don't want her to starve and how she dedicated a P-corner in her room. That's a great point. There's probably a bathroom in her bedroom. It doesn't matter. You still need a P-corner. If you're trapped anywhere, you need a P-corner. We're going live to Amy's house. If you did not wake up and hear the beginning of the show,

Amy is locked in her bedroom. Ray, would you play that beginning clip again because this is what she texted me before I even came into work this morning? Literally locked in my room. I'm trying to leave, and I can knock it out. And I don't know how it's happened or why. So you see her like trying to unlock the door, she's like, I can't get out. And I say, jump out the window.

She goes, I'm on the second story. So, Amy, are you safe? First of all, are you safe and have you found a pea corner in your room to make sure that you can still go to the bathroom? Well, I have a bathroom in my room. That doesn't matter. I think you still need a pee corner. No, she has a bathroom. No, I have the dog and the cat.

And I think they are the ones that need to use the bathroom. So got to figure that out. And, yeah. help actually is here working on it. So my kids, I banged and screamed loud enough to where they woke up and tried to help and couldn't. But I called some people and so they're actively working on it right now. And by actively working, can you hear them on the other side of the door? Yes, like you can hear them working on the other side of the door.

Like they're doing like different things. Like I don't know. I think I just heard like go get a card. like there's um credit cards yeah crew driver uh cards little i don't know if you can hear that but we can't am i think somebody's breaking in your house yeah call 911 she she smells she sounds famined oh no lunchbox wants to know if you're starving if you somehow get food to you well i'm about to start having my caffeine headache so i need coffee oh no withdraw she's going through withdraws her house With my straws setting in, I need to somehow get that.

And then I have organized my bathroom and my closet. Oh, so she's productive. Yeah, she's productive. No, you say bored. I say productive. And my bed is sometimes in the morning I make my bed fully. I always make my bed. But this morning, I definitely did a little, like, just kind of sort of made my bed.

But now it is made perfectly. Origami with the sheets. Just folded up into, like, birds and swans. Yeah. Do you feel safe? Blink twice if you don't. Like we can see here. Oh, cough.

Right. Yeah, yeah. No. Okay. Was there ever a thought of kicking down the door? I don't know that it would be possible. I don't know. But now I'm for sure going to buy one of those little ladder things that you throw out your window because this is necessary.

Would you actually have thrown the ladder out and crawled down just to get to work? I could do that. Easy. I was already figured out. I was on Amazon a minute ago trying to figure out. what to order and which window I throw it out of. Like now I need to be prepared. Amazon Prime could have probably got it there already.

Yeah. Same day. What about, have you thought about calling the fire department? Yes. And I kind of thought, what if that is how I meet somebody? Could you imagine? He's doing romance. He comes up, sweeps her way.

She doesn't go to work because he makes a love all morning. No, wait. Whoa, that escalated quickly. Oh, that's the storyline. Yeah, that's the storyline. That's how it happens in the movies. And he's wearing his suit, but no shirt underneath it, and the suit's unsept. Okay? No, I was thinking maybe we go to dinner. I don't know.

Yeah, we got to set your sides higher than that. Okay. Dinner food. Okay, well, I don't know. I feel like they're making progress. So I'm supposed to like turn the knob for a second. So you don't want to hold on. Have you never turned the knob to get out of the room? That might be the problem. She just never opened the door. Okay. All right. Well, they need my assistant. So I don't know. I'll do it. Yeah. Let's go live. Yeah. We are live. I mean, from the sound. Okay, okay, okay.

We're gonna listen in. Amy's locked in her bedroom, go ahead. And what am I supposed to do? Like, we're, to the left. To the left, okay. I'm turning it to the left. What is that thing you're sticking through there?

Oh, that's dirty. That's called a glory hole. Don't touch it. I got a question. Did she hire a door expert? Who is this? Yeah, it's like on Pond Stars. She knows a guy.

Okay. She knows a door expert. I'm turning to the left. My left or your left? Oh, boy. Oh, my God. And I let go. Okay.

No? Doesn't sound good, guys. I've heard a lot of doors open. It doesn't sound like that. Amy, can they unscrew the doorknob? Just knock the doorknob off and then get a new doorknob. That's what I would have done. They already tried to screw the unscrewed turnoff off on their side.

Hey, watch your language world in the morning. No, literally unscrew it. Oh, got it. So, Amy, did you call a locksmith? Lunchbox is going to it. Lunchbox is so weird. worried is going through puberty right now, Amy. No, I called, oh,

um, um, uh, handyman. A handyman. Did you hear the way she said that? Yeah, she's just looking to meet anybody. I think the door's not even broken. She's finding a way to call every dude in town. I called a local heart surgeon, who I read with single on Instagram.

Wait, so do I pull it? Oh, boy. What if the door has always been a pool? She's just been trying to push the whole time. Pull? try to block where it goes into the gym. Okay. Well, it sure does.

Yeah, it doesn't sound like a man. Okay. Shannon, do you have your phone? She's like, call a handyman. Yeah. No, she's here. Okay. She broke out.

Amy's trying to get out of her bedroom. She is not at work because she's been locked in her room. The other side. What? You've been talking to him. Nelson? Now there's... a whole cast of characters on the other side of our house.

Kramer? Oh, I thought it was a lot of stuff. Listeners are stopping by. Oh, I just didn't know, Shannon, if you... Can you... We're going to come back. This is good stuff, though. Yeah, I don't think so.

I feel like we're not close. Hey, Amy, can ask the question? Yes. Why don't you... Can you not just take a hammer and bang the doorknob off? His doorknobs relatively inexpensive? Well, I just... that new doorknob

I will buy you a new doornaub if that's the case if you're really hurting for a doorknob well no yes I suppose you could but it's the lock that's coming it's somehow stuck I don't really know they're close they say they're close I just heard oh it's close

okay we're gonna come back I'm getting frustrated I want to help so bad I want to take a hammer through the door so she can crawl through I mean, great video of her crawling through the whole. She's not going to break the door knob. She's not going to kick a hole in the door. Well, let's just give it a good kick.

That's it. Just try it. But the kick is on the inside. She needs somebody outside to kick in. Someone's out there. The handyman's out there. And so is Shannon. I heard that. Right, right, right.

Well, I hope both my kids left for school because they're definitely. They're still playing video games right now. Yeah, totally. Not going to school. Yeah, they are. No, they're worried about their mom. Yeah, their mom's stuck in her bedroom. We're going to have to come back.

back. Amy is locked in her bedroom. She's not, obviously she's going to miss the first hour of the show. Oh, hey. Oh, okay. Like she's never seen someone. She's acting like somebody discovered her on a deserted island. Thank you. Oh, there is. Oh, that was my own. Okay. Who's that, dude? Hey, what's up with Mr. D. Voice over there? What happened?

Okay. Well, that was fun, huh? That was fun. Yeah. Look who's back. She's safe. It's Amy. Amy's back.

Amy's back. She was locked in her bedroom. on the inside. Never heard of that before. But if you go listen to the podcast, you can hear us do a half hour with Amy locked in her room. Her kid can't get her out.

Her friend can't get her out. Finally, a handyman comes and gets her out. Handyman doesn't know English. So Eddie translates. Yeah, yeah, man. Amy's out and she's safe. We were so worried. And wow, are we excited.

So worried. We were. Dramatic. Yoss Queen. We were so worried. I am very grateful for everybody that woke up to try to help me. No problem.

When she just texted me a video before I got to work early early, no text involved, just a video. I was like, oh my God. Because why would somebody just send a video that early unless something is wrong? And Ray, would you play just the beginning clip for listeners that missed it? Literally locked in my room. I'm trying to leave. And I can knock it out. And I don't know how this happened or why.

My children are not coming from me. And said that for 30 minutes. And I like that she blamed her children. Well, no, saying, she's like, they're not coming for me. Well, they weren't fully awake yet, and I'm banging on the walls being like, children. And the kids probably like, mom probably has somebody over again. Just kidding. It's a joke.

It's a terrible joke. Terrible. Kind of funny, but terrible. A minute. Okay. Terrible. Kind of funny, though. Admit it.

Terrible. Amy's back, so that's all. Thank goodness. She's safe. The doorlock monster god. her, but she loved to tell us about it. Maybe you got the bad news, though. You're going to need a new door and don't handle it.

Just a lock, right? Just a whole new door. You just sold all those other doors. No, not a whole new door. Yeah, Facebook Marketplace. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. American soccer is about to explode. The World Cup is coming.

On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John HoBriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever talk. Financial education is not always about like, I'm going to get rich.

That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family.

Hey, earners, what's up? Look, money is something we all deal with, but financial literacy is what helps turn income into real wealth. On each episode of the podcast, Earn Your Leisure, we break down the conversations you need to understand money, investing, and entrepreneurship. From stocks and real estate to credit, business, and generational wealth, we translate complex financial topics into real conversations everyone can understand. Because the truth is, most people will never taught how money,

really works. But once you understand the system, you can start to build within it. That means ownership, smarter investing, and creating opportunities not just for yourself, but for the next generation. If you want to learn how to build wealth, understand the markets, and think like an owner,

earn your leisure is the podcast for you. Listen to earn your leisure on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. There was a long-standing segment on our show that was existing for several months of 2024, where Bobby wanted to send Eddie to Turkey to get a hair transplant. Well, Eddie didn't really want to go to Turkey, you know,

travel to another country and all that stuff. So it then evolved into him getting a hair system, which is the modern version of a toupee. And it looked really, really good. But now it's evolved where Eddie doesn't even have the hair system. It just, unfortunately, for me, sits in between our desk on our studio equipment, which is kind of gross. You're going to hear the moment here where Eddie got his hair system because it was a huge moment and shocked all of us to see Eddie with this full thing of hair when we've only known him one way. Number two. In studio right now, Julie Taylor, owner of Jay Banks Salon and Nashville hair replacement.

Am I saying that right? Okay. So Julie, we're here because Eddie is... I'm here to make Eddie look 10 years younger. Yes. Can we do 15? I can do 15. Yeah, let's go.

Is that what you typically see with... It's amazing. and the confidence that they shine through after they get hair. Come on. They feel like themselves again. I have so many questions. And so let's roll through some questions because what's going to happen is we're going to let Eddie and Julie go off. And she's going to, let's talk about the process.

But Eddie's going to have a new head of hair today. It's amazing. So what is the process? You'll leave this room with Eddie. And what do you do? It's a pretty simple process. I mean, it's non-surgical hair replacement. Is that his hair you're going to put on his head?

That's it. Wow. That's a lot of hair. All that hair. That's a mop. Then you look like Enrique Iglesias. Yes. It's like a mop now, but you guys, it will look natural when I get it on you. Okay, so you will, that won't be my hairstyle?

No, that's not going to be your hairstyle. I mean, unless you want that. That's pretty cool. That's Shaggy Dog. So you're going to cut it. I'm going to cut the heck out of it. Okay. It will look like a natural.

It's going to look like his hair. People will not know. So what do you do? So you walk out with Eddie, when you guys do your thing, you, he takes his hat off. Do you like shave part of his head? I am going to shave you a grandpa. haircut today. So he'll look like Dr. Phil on his head top of his head. He will for a minute.

And how long will this thing stay on his head before like it starts to like fall off? Monthly maintenance. Once a month you come to the salon. I take it off. Like a haircut? It is. Yeah. I mean that's all it takes to wear a system. So once that thing is on my head is that's my wig?

It's yours. Do you call it? It feels like second skin. Is wig insulting? A wig and toupee are insulting. I hear you're calling it a system. The technology in this, it's a, it's a, it's a modern men's hair system. I'm not worried though if I do a little dive off the diving board that's going to fall off at the pool. It will never fly off like you see in the movie. Ever.

I'm so excited about this. Me too. And I do drive a Jeep and I love the hair in my wind idea. Like I've been dreaming about that. Oh, my clients live their best life with the wind and their hair, yes. Wouldn't you say my clients, do you have to book them like with a buffer in between or do they mind if clients see clients? You know?

Because I feel like they might not want to. tell people. That's a good point. Like they don't want to run into somebody else who's getting it. You have a 30 minute buffer. So we don't have that yet. We do have private rooms. I would say 50% of the clients that wear these, they want to flaunt it. They don't care that people know that they're wearing it. It's like my boob job. But the others. Yeah. What? My boob job. Want everybody to know. Right. Right. You know, other clients, the high profiles, I can do them, you know, on a day off for certain hours of the salon are closed and stuff. like that. How long have you been doing this version of your work? This version about five years. And what's the difference? Because again, we've only seen movies

where the people's like fall off or they're like pointing and they have no idea. This is so far past that, right? It's so far past it. There's so many tape and glue options. We're going to go in and go with the basic option for you Eddie. Just with glue and like I said, you won't even feel it.

You're going to be surprised. Okay, so we're going to keep her in here for a second. We're with Julie Taylor. She is the owner of Jay Bank Salon and Nashville hair replacement. Are you, are you trained to cut hair as well? Oh, yeah, I do it all. Really?

But mainly, this is all I do. But did you learn to cut hair, though, before you did? Oh, yeah. So you were a hairstyle. That's cool. So we're also going to link her, and we're going to put her in the podcast show notes

so you can find the Instagram and stuff. But the website is Nashvillehairreplacement.com. Do you have clients all over the country? All over the country. Because our show is all over the country. Oh, cool. So Nashville hair replacement.com. What do we call it, Julie?

Because we don't say, toupee. What do we say it? Modern men. hair system. But if we're saying Eddie's about to get new hair, what's going to be on his head? A hair system. That's my system, man. Sorry, man. Leave it alone. Julie's here and Eddie's going to have new hair with a new hair system in the next hour or so. We'll do the reveal on the air. And Eddie, what are your thoughts? You're about to get a new hair system? I have questions. Go ahead. Is that real hair? It's human hair.

Whoa! Oh my gosh. Where do you get the hair? I have a U.S. manufacturer. that does this and distributor and stuff. I keep most of the hair systems in stock at the salon. One on earth? I'm wearing somebody else's hair. But it's not somebody who died and gave you their hair. Maybe.

Like a organ. It's like somebody who just donated their hair. It's donated. Wow. So when I donated my hair, I could have been a system on someone else. You could, but they said your hair was too gross. They used it for the oil spill.

I didn't remember. Pick up the oil. It was needed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And can people donate their hair to you? Or they have to go through a process? It goes through a whole process. Yeah.

Dude, you're going to be one of some else's. That's crazy. That's crazy to think about it. But it's real, though. No, I know. I know. It's, okay, so the styles. Can I put, like, gel in it, a little bit of a pomade?

You can, but they style really easily. They've got just enough texture in them. The haircut is going to just style itself. Oh. You know, my goal is you just run your hands through your hair and that's it. Let's just say it's a really windy day. Exceptionally windy. Any chance when it flies off?

No, it's not going to fly off. At all, like, 17 miles per hour in. I've had people tested. I've had people. surf in it and do all kinds of crazy roller coasters and stuff and it has not fun. Oh, wow. Okay. Okay, you're good. Eddie, your thoughts, your emotions right now.

I'm super excited. Like, the fact that I'm going to have hair in the next few minutes is amazing. Good hair. Good hair. Will you show her your head? Yeah, she's seen it. Because we're going to have to see it before and after. I don't even see the pictures.

She's seen it. So, what do you think about that head? I mean, that's the top part of. He's the perfect candidate. Wow. He's going to have a good-looking? Is he so good-looking? Yeah.

Dang. Eddie, do you have a hair? cut in my because you've been dreaming about this number of years. Just so much. Like, I mean, I've always liked the high and tight, but I don't know if that's still in. Is that still in the high and tight? Yeah. Dude, I'd have a little.

I'd have a little. You need to have some extra, dude. Like, I do. Like, mine's not long, but there's a little, like, fluffy, you know? Like, so once I decide the style, though, can I choose a different one? Like, if I go a little long at the beginning, can I come in and be like, I need to cut this off a little bit. Yes. But you can't go the opposite.

Right. Because it doesn't grow. Okay. So that's why I should go a little shaggier. What about bedhead? Am I going to have bedhead in the morning? You will and you're going to love it. Congratulations, buddy.

Wow. I've never had bedhead. Like, what, in a long time. Are you nervous about shaving your head? No, because if I don't like it, I'll just shave my whole head again, you know? True. Exactly. And we'll just start from zero.

Yep. But you'll like it. I think I'm going to love it, dude. Yeah, you will. Okay. Is there a way, because we'll check in, we're going to send you guys off to do your work. But is there a way that he can't see what's happening until the very end? Yeah, there's not a mirror in your office.

Whoa. Whoa. You know, we want the reveal to you to also be. It's like when someone puts on those colorblind glasses and they start crying because you're like, I see color. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But you can't go to the hair salon and not look in the mirror.

Yeah, no, you can. They turn you around. Like, I got my hair chopped off recently and I didn't see a thing until she was done styling in. It was so fun when she spun me around. Like, it's fun, Eddie. So do you think we know a lot of people with these on and we just don't know it? Oh, yeah.

What if right now I got extra vulnerable when I went, look, guys. That'd be crazy. Yeah, that would be. Have you ever had to sign like an NDA? No, not yet. But they just trust you? Yeah, okay. You know what?

I didn't tell my wife I'm doing this today. But she doesn't know at all. I mean, she knows that I was thinking about doing it, but she doesn't know it's today. Then don't say anything about it. Go home. See if she notices. Yeah. No one's going to notice.

Okay, we're going to let you guys go do your work. But, okay, Julie Taylor is here, which, by the way, you guys go to Nashville hair replacement.com. She has clients all over the country. You know, do you travel? Like, do you do... I travel some, yeah. Okay, let's see how it goes.

All right, Julie. Eddie, Julie, you guys go do your thing. When Eddie comes back, he'll be a new man. Yeah. Watch the confidence level. 15 years younger. I might be... I'm going to be honest.

A dude has never really turned me on, but I'm worried. You walk in and I'm turned on by it. But you know what? That's a risk I'm willing to take. All right. Eddie and Julie are hopping out. Check him back with Eddie right now. He is back in my office.

has no mirror. He is getting, Amy, what do you call it, a hair system put on? Eddie has been bald and he's worn a hat for years and years. And he didn't want to have surgery, even though we offered him up a really... By surgery, like hair transplant. Yeah. A great option with a wonderful doctor. So I said, what about one of these? We called it a wig or a toupee. That's not what it's called. It's a system, we're told. And so Julie Taylor's back with Eddie. It's going to take about an hour or so. Eddie, what's happened so far? Oh, dude. I don't know. I don't know. Like I've had, I can't see anything. So I've heard a razor go on the top of my head.

Oh, she razor shaved your head. Wow. She had to get down there. He got the Dr. Phil treatment straight up bold. Dude, so much that it's like she was rubbing her hands on there, like putting glue up there. And it sounded like sandpaper. I'm like, oh my goodness. Do you have hair on your head as of right now?

Oh, yeah. I mean, I think I can't, again. So for the last like five minutes I've had my eyes closed because there's a mirror that she's holding. and I don't want to see it. So I don't really know other than I did get my system put on. It's glued on right now. And it's human hair, right? It's human hair that's been donated.

And so it's a whole head of hair. Is she like cutting around your already hair on your head? Now it's almost like I'm just getting a haircut bones. Like I am just at the salon right now getting my haircut. I hear spraying a little scissoring there and then putting some product in there. Like it's just like I'm getting my haircut. How does that feel? It feels awesome.

It does feel, though, that I can have something on my head. Like a beanbag maybe. That's what we feel every day of our lives. Welcome to the party, man. Yeah. Oh, that's what it is. It's called hair. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Eddie is getting his hair system put on right now, which, by the way, social media influencers made Julie Taylor like a big deal because people were getting it done and then posting it, and she blew up nationally. Oh, wow. Okay. And her website is Nashville hair replacement. In mere minutes...

What's up, Eddie? This is amazing, dude. In mere minutes, Eddie's going to walk in and he hasn't even seen it yet. This is like that TV show, remember? I mean, it was awful. Well, yeah, that. Or, this was awful.

I didn't like this show. But, yeah, they were like, they called them like the little duckling and then they emerged and they were a swan in front of the mirror and they completely transformed. Well, that too, they did like teeth and plastic surgery.

Oh, yeah, no, I mean, it was extreme. You're gonna be our swan, Eddie. You're about to be a swan. You're about to be a little swan. You haven't told your wife. No, I didn't tell her that I was doing this today. Okay, we'll check back with Eddie. Eddie, are you able to tell me something good from back there?

Yeah, dude, of course. We'll check with Eddie in just a few minutes. All right, it's that time. Eddie's about to walk in. He has not seen his hair yet. The thing is, lunchbox is going to laugh regardless of how good or bad it is. This is going to be incredible just because I'm used to bald dude. So, Eddie has a new hair system.

Right, Julie, I said that right? Yep, yep. Julie Taylor's been here for over an hour working with Eddie. You shaved his head completely bald with a razor. or clippers? With clippers. Okay. Just the grandpa haircut.

Sure. Right in the middle. That's, you know, I guess that's a grandpa. I think it's like a bowl, the bowl on his head. Like the ring.

Like Danny DeVito. So Eddie's going to come in. He has not seen his hair. How do you feel about Eddie's work? Do you feel like it looks good? Oh, yeah. Does he look natural in it? He looks 15 years younger.

Does he think he's going to look good? I think so. He's just, you know, it's funny because he hasn't seen it yet. So he doesn't really know how it's supposed to feel. Was he awkward in there? Like, didn't know what to say?

awkward. He was very calm and kept his eyes closed and yeah. Okay, well, did you laugh at all? There was no laughing. Okay. It's just our friend, you know? It is. And it is. However, it's our, it's, I get it. You got to roast him a little bit, but, but you feel like this is one of your most, like, successful cases? Oh, yeah. It's probably going to be a model after this. He really was the perfect candidate for this. Transformation. He's going to be on billboards. So at Nashville hair Replacement.com. This is Julie Taylor, and Eddie is not seeing his own hair, nor is he going to see it when he walks in.

So he's going to sit with us first. We're going to see it. Do we want her to tell us what kind of haircut you game, or are we just going to see it? Like, what style? I want me to prepare you all for it. Y'all, I just saw it through the glass. I just saw it through the glass. Bring him in.

Bring him in. Bring him in. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Wow. It looks so good. Wow. That looks so good.

so real. Wow. I hear it looks so good and I hear a laugh. No, no, no. And I hear a laugh. I wouldn't have known that was you, bro. Okay. What are you talking about?

Hold on. Wow. You do look younger. What? Fresh. This is not cool. Let me tell you. Eddie hasn't seen it.

He's going to love it. You look like your son. Yeah. That's crazy. More than ever. It's like your son. Your 16 year old son, you do look like you. Your oldest son.

When you walked in, it was like, Oh, my. Wow. Oh, I put money on the fact that he's keeping this look for the rest of his life. Are you serious? Yes, you're going to do the maintenance. There's no way you're getting rid of this. Are you serious?

I swear. You're going to see it. Dude, hold on. Hey, what kind of haircut do I have? Like, what's my style? I didn't even tell him. Okay, so I would say it's kind of like, so mine naturally goes forward. But sometimes on camera I'll have to like put it back just a little bit.

It's got like a little cool put. That's what that is. But it's long, like it's styled and stuff? You haven't touched it with your hand? No, dude, I haven't touched it. Honestly, I walked to the bathroom and I walked like my neck was stiff because I didn't want to, like, move it. And for the first time my life, well, not first time. But in a while, I'm like, is my hair in place?

Like, I look good. Dude, it looks real and it looks good. And no one has ever, if they don't know you, they will not know. No one's going to say, I wonder if that dude has anything on his head. Really? I get legit. Legit lunch. And he wants to make fun of you.

He wants to make fun of you. We told him he can if he wants. Go ahead. Dude, it's hilarious because you have hair. But literally, like Bobby said, if you're a stranger, you would have no idea you were a bald fool. Let's go! They would have no idea that you have a system in your hair. That's my system.

And you have like a side fade a bit. So if I get a haircut, it's like shorter here and it fades up a little bit. Like it's purposefully that way. I mean, I thought about telling her, do that skin tight like lunchbox does, but that's too much. I don't know if I can take you serious, though. It's hard. Why? It's, well, no, it's because we only know you as one way.

Right. And now a little bit I'm attracted to you. So that's difficult. I know. Okay. Here we go. Eddie's now going to look at his new hair. I'm so ready.

And go. Whoa. Dang. I have hair. Dude, you know who I kind of look like? The dude from Ted Lassow. Stop. A little bit.

The assistant coach. Yeah. The wonder kid. Do you not look like your son? I mean, yeah. I mean, I see it. Which makes sense. This is unbelievable.

Isn't that crazy? Like, what the crap? I have hair. I have hair. And it looks real. This is crazy, dude. I don't know what to say. Dude, my wife's going to flip when I get home.

I haven't told her. And you're not going to tell her, right? No, I'm just going to show up. Hey, hey, make sure the kids are out of the house. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, hopefully. Wow. Wow.

It feels like those videos where people that are colorblind put on the colorblind glasses that can see the colors for the first time. It's pretty cool, dude.

An instant confidence. I think I've gained an inch just alone on my hair. Yeah. Oh, that's true. I am now six foot. Maybe six one. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. This is a really sad one, but also one that's really cool to look back on.

So Toby Keith passed away this year and it was heartbreaking for his family, friends, the entire country music community and fans alike. Everybody was devastated by this massive loss. But what was so cool is that Toby Keith had come into our studio a couple weeks before he had passed and why we got to do one of the last few interviews that he ever did. And it was really cool getting to talk to Toby Keith, see him in studio, and hear him talk about everything he had been doing and living his life up until that point. So while it's incredibly sad and hard to remember this loss,

it's also a really cool interview to look back on. And I hope you enjoy it in the same ways that I do. Number one On the Bobby Bones show now Toby Keyes Toby it's rare that People that I'm super close to Will ask me for tickets anything

Because they know Like unless it's really meaningful, don't ask And I've only had two close friends Asked me for tickets this whole year And last year it was Morgan Wallin And it was your shows in Vegas That's how big those shows were And they sold, I saw they sold out immediately

Do you still have any sort of anxiety At all about shows selling? No, I hadn't worked in I probably only worked a handful of shows in the last wide COVID, two big Cs, COVID and cancer. So I hadn't worked a handful of shows in the last three years. But I worked every year for 27, 28 years. And I mean, I was, the only thing I had that

concerned me was being away from it for three years and remembering all the words, because they subconsciously come to you when you're working. You don't even think about it. You know them. And then getting completely away from them and having to start back.

So they had a teleprompter up there and I got into a little bit of a sound check we're going to go full dress rehearsal a day, but I didn't even use it. It was just like riding it back. Oh, you knew all the words? Yeah, once I got up there and started rolling and it got familiar, I just, I didn't even look

at the teleprompter. What about playing at all? Did your hand stay calloused? Yeah, I still played, no matter where I was, I always had a guitar there and still plunked around. But they've been calloused so long that it's all callous, not even bones anymore. It's just all calluses. Yeah, it's like having extra fingernails. You guys are putting these songs, don't let the old man in.

It's been out, but you're like, hey, this song's good. Here it is. Remember it. We're going to push it again. Where did that come from and why so? So that wasn't my idea. So we put that in the Eastwood movie three or four years ago. And the movie didn't do as well as they thought, and it's at the very end.

And as powerful as the song was, it still didn't really get us to do. But great songs have a way of finding a home. Willie cut it, Humperdink cut it, a bunch of foreign legends cut it in their language. And I thought, well, that's cool, you know. and then when the icon award came up at the people's choice um rack clark dick clark son who's i've known for years he's produced a lot of the award shows he said i really want you to do this song i was like man blake's present me he's oh he asked you do that song like you weren't planning to do that song got it and because it's it's

is dark you know and and and i hadn't been in the public eye for a while and so i was like Blake's going to do who's your daddy and I want to do something up tempo because he's going to be fun and funny and he goes

no, Rack insisted and I said well Rack if you want me do it I'll do it he goes I think it'd be a gigantic highlight and he was right yeah it was massive

people went crazy and so because of that response everybody's like we need to reintroduce this song well it just it went number one immediately on iTunes and then people

started calling saying hey, they want service radio. Yeah. And I haven't really service, I haven't done anything in three or four years. And I was like, I don't know if they play this kind of music anymore, you know. This is way different than what you normally hear. And I said, this is, this song is even more classic than my age. This song could have been recorded in 50s, you know, or 60s.

And it's so, it's so country and so old school that I said, you do what you want to do with. it, but I just love it that it got its, it found a home. You're going on the road. How's your health? How's everything going? It's going pretty good. This is a roller coaster, and it takes a little while to get your brain wrapped around it, and then you get to a point where you just say, hey, this is what I do, and you can't let it define your future. You can sit around it, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, but I've got a roadhouse out in the country by like a 97 year old roadhouse that has a lot of music history a lot of uh Oklahoma history what's a roadhouse I don't know what that is it's like a bar and grill

outdoor oh got it got it got it you know it's an old roadhouse uh like Texas roadhouse to restaurant type place well like a a bar out in the country that people would drive out to like in a movie you'd see people they'll set a roadhouse up in the remember the one where uh Patrick Roadhouse? Is that called? That one. Yeah, that one. Yeah, I know that one.

All right, so there you go. Okay. So that's kind of out by itself. This thing's like 97 years old. The old actor James Garner was named James Bumgarner before he went to Hollywood. He pumped gas in there. Bonnie and Clyde stayed in some cabins behind it. Bob Wheels and Texas Playboys, people like that would come through and play these little dances out there.

And then it turned into a convenience store. We used to get bait, beer, tobacco. stuff there before we were old enough. And then we were going to tear it down. In my whole countryside out there where I live, I know everybody. That's my sanctuary. They were like, man, they're telling that tearing the old Hollywood's corners down. And so I went and bought the thing, popped it up,

cleaned it up, put some lights in the trees, put a stage out there, and left the stage up, and now you can go out there, get some food, get a beer, sit on the lights, bring your dog, bring your kids, and have a biker night on Wednesday, and I saved it, you know. And so one night I said, hey, I want to try to play. So I called the manager and I said, tell Jennifer, I said, tell the band they're paid, but they're not going to play. And she goes, who's playing?

I said another band. And I was bringing my guys in from Nashville. And we were just going to go up incognito and just let the word build and just have fun. And I was going to see how far I could go without taking a break, you know. So I did two, three-hour nights. And she goes, well, who do I advertise his plan? I said, the greasy weenies. And so she put it up.

The greasy weenies will be here Friday and Saturday. Well, everybody started going something's not right because the band's getting paid. So when I showed up the first night, they were just like, line up. up down the ditches a half a mile in every direction. And I did two nights in July and I was like, go book me some shows. So you just can't get the trucks and buses after three years all together and the crew. Everybody's off working with everybody else, you know. So it took till December to launch this thing. And here we are. Well, excited to have you back. Yeah. Yeah. Like optimistic, playing music, love it.

Did you have to, your voice, aside from health, you don't sing for three years? Like, that's a muscle. Right. Like, you can sing for three hours, but I mean, did you blow your voice at all after two days? No, but the thing that I've had to overcome is the surgery I had on my stomach, they had to stitch on my diaphragm.

So, and not using it to sing every night, that is a muscle, you know. So I've had to really work that. to get it. So where I sing really, really hard and really, really violent and loud. And I didn't have that last 10% on the bottom where I could just really belt anything, you know? Like when I sang MacArthur Park at Carnegie Hall, it was like opera stuff. So I don't know if I could do that, but what I do on stage is no problem. So it's like I've had to work on that diaphragm. And it's getting better all the time. But I went through, about three hours yesterday off and on, you know, going through our list, working it up, and I didn't have any issues. What's your favorite song to do now that you're back doing it? Anything like, man, that feels good to do again? Man, those four-and-five-week number ones, you can just pile them up and come downhill,

and they're all fun. You're going to do any songs about the greasy weenies? I love that band. I don't know if you heard of them. They're really making the name in Oklahoma. Yeah, they don't do many covers. They do all Toby stuff. Well, that's why some people get annoyed by them.

They're like, enough Toby, Keith. some greasy weenies. So, well, Toby, it's good to see you, man. You too, Bob. New album, 100% songwriter. They came out a few months ago. Don't let the old man in is back. We've been playing a little bit.

And all the shows sold out, again, my friends never asked me for anything. And they were like, can you get us Toby tickets? And I said, not only that, they could come and stay in your hotel room. So you'll see them there. Well, I don't stay in my hotel rooms. They can have it.

Well, as long as they pick up incidentally. Crap. All right. Toby, good to see you, buddy. You too, Bob. All right, there is. Toby Keith, everybody. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.
