What is up, y'all? Welcome to the Best Bits. I'm Morgan and I got my guy Ray Mundo hanging out with me.

Yeah. If you haven't listened to this podcast before, what I do is breakdown. some of the segments from the Bobby Bone Show this week and talk about, you know, the highlights, maybe things you miss, maybe the best parts that you missed. I don't know. But my favorite part is when I bring somebody on and we talk about life and love and therapy and all the things. Excuse me? That's a lot. I knew you were going to say that. You just like throw it in there. I do. Listen, I just kind of keep rolling and whatever happens, happens. I don't know if I want to talk about all that stuff. I mean, you never know what we talk about on this podcast. You're like, Ray, I want to talk about love, life, your soft underbelly, all the saddest things you've done in your life.

Now, soft underbelly, I definitely want to get back to that one. But we're just going to get started. So Ray and I can catch up because I need to hear all about Vegas. We need some life updates. You know, all that good stuff. What do you say, Ray? Yeah. All right.

So fun having Walker Hayes on the show this week. You know, he's been living in Nashville for 17 years, but in the past year, things have blown up for him. and he released a new album this week. So we got to catch up with him and hear all the things, especially about new music, about how his family handles fame. I mean, all the good stuff. So right now you guys can hear that interview with Walker,

and I'm telling you if you missed it, go watch that video at Bobby Bones.com because Walker is just a great dude. Number seven, the Friday morning conversation with Walker Hayes. He's walking down the hall right now. Tough loss when Alabama lost. That's his team. So we're going to be very gentle with him.

Although it's like a mixture because, hey Walker, come on in, buddy. No, sit over here. I was talking about today your record's out, so that's good. But if my team had lost, it would be bad in Alabama for you. Where are you on that? I'm okay now. Was it rough for a minute? Yeah, it hurt.

But Alabama wins all the time. It's got to be different. We did. We did. And the SEC championship was awesome. I mean, I enjoyed that a lot. and it was good to beat the dogs, but yeah, it kind of hurt. Well, it's good to see you again.

Good to see y'all. I was thinking about you yesterday. I was in the dentist's chair. I had broken a tooth and I had to go in. And, you know, you and I talk rather frequently in one way or the other. And I was like, what do I talk to Walker about that we haven't talked about 10 times before? But I was just starting to get laughing gas at the same time that I'm having these thoughts about myself. And laughing gas for me is the only time where I really go into full relaxation mode.

Okay. It's the only thing that does it for me where I start to have. thoughts that I normally wouldn't have. And the only thing that kept coming to me was I should really talk to him about the difference in being famous versus not being famous. Okay. Because you've had no idea where the was going. You've had quite like the change. Yeah. From being a guy that had a different kind of sound that was just trying to make his way in a format to in a year, like you're now famous. So what's been the biggest change in your life? As far as fame, you know, is concerned, it's the recognition, you know, everywhere we go.

Like if we go to Chick-fil-A, everybody wants to meet us and get a picture with, like, the whole fam, you know. And I love it. Everybody's so nice. But that was a huge, I mean, that happened overnight, you know. And I got neighbors now, you know, who want autographs, but I've been seeing them, you know, for a couple years. I'm like, I'm a same dude, but, you know, man, you know my story through and through. And so while that is an adjustment, I'm so grateful because those people buy music, you know, and they sing along and they learn the dances where they're kids. And that's all I wanted to happen.

For those that are just turning us on, let me play a clip of Walker. This is Fancy Like, this is the song that changes life here that you probably heard over and over again. This is a song too that, you know, we've played so much, I've heard so much. And I'm like, okay, I've heard this song 10,000 times. Then I start to be like, all right, I'm a little fatigued of it. But then it comes on it, I'm not paying attention to it. And I find myself singing along, so I'm really not fatigued to it. Yeah, you know, it's one of those.

And oddly enough, y'all, I'll turn on Instagram and I'll see somebody go, you know, where has this song been my whole lot? You know, and they just found it. like today and I'm like I don't know how you're just hearing this for the first time but yeah I'm I'm the same way you know my kids will turn it on and I'm like ah not not today you know but then chorus comes and I'm same thing to it yeah I'm like I work at radio station so I hear the song all the time I'm good I'm not hearing any songs right and then it comes on and I find myself how fancy like applebee I can't stop you're singing along you mentioned your kids and people want to take pictures are

Are you weird when people go, hey, I want a picture with your kid? Because Amy has struggled with that with people going, hey, can I get your kid in a picture? Yeah. Has that been a thing? No, you know, a couple times maybe it'll be, it'll be weird, you know, if that person is just weird, you know. It's all about just if the person's weird. Yeah, I don't know. But, you know, I don't mind.

You know, I know they recognize, Lila especially, you know, she's one of most people are like, hey, can I get a picture with her? She gets all giddy. Right. Well, and she's old enough to, like, she can, or you let your kids, like, if for whatever reason that day they're like, I really don't want to pick a picture, you're not going to, like, make them pick up a picture. Right. And if somebody's like, hey, I want a picture with Everly, I'm like, I don't know, man,

you know. Because Everly's how old? She's six. Yeah, that's probably, can I only get a picture with Everly? That's probably like, yeah. That's old off. Walker's got a record out today. It is 13 songs.

It's country stuff of the album. I did want to play because we know the song, but I feel like, You know, you upgraded a little bit. This song is Craig, but with Mercy Man. Ah, you won't do it. Come on. Well, I'm going to put a... Look at it.

Here you go. Here you go. I still ain't figured out church yet. But Craig, I get it. So, no, he can't walk on water. Turn a nap of... Just my... So it's a song that you've put out before about Craig, a guy who changed your life.

Who gave you a minivan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Craig... Craig just... Um, him and his family just, like... loved on my family when we were really not that lovable, especially me. I was an alcoholic.

And when I wrote that song to thank him, you know, for the van, I didn't believe in Jesus. And I thought I was pretty clever and didn't say the name of Jesus in the song, Craig. And a lot has changed since then, and I now know Jesus. And we're next door neighbors. And so I met Bart from Mercy Me, and he said, man, not enough people in the world have heard this song. And I said, put your money where your mouth is. Let's do it together. And that was actually, did you really say put your money on your mouth ? No, I said, what do you think about redoing it? And this was before Fancy Like. And he was like, let's go. Let's do it. So, and then when Fancy like popped off, he called me and was like,

hey, you want to do that, right? I was like, let's go. So, dude, it's a completely different experience now and best to me best song on the album by far we played fancy like just a second ago uh i'm assuming you play this last at your shows yeah if i if i play it earlier everybody will leave you can do it twice you know once in the beginning once at the end i could yeah but we were actually talking about that we're rehearsing for tour and i was like what if i just refused you know to play this song you know so many kids and dads would be mad but yeah we we play it last when that song was just starting to hit and become viral, Lunchbox was talking about how he's one of the top 25 most famous people in Nashville.

Have you heard him say this at all? I've heard him say this. And you still feel like this. Still believe it. Now, you, for some reason, called out Walker specifically. Don't know why. He's just not top 25. You asked me like, oh, what about Walker A's?

And I was like way more famous. Do you still feel after Walker having not only like the biggest song in country, but one of the biggest pop songs, too, of the year, that you're still more famous in Nashville than he is. Yes. Just because he has one song. Like you always say, just one song doesn't make you famous. Like, people know that song, but they don't know him.

That's the thing. Like, I understand he had one song. Maybe if he has three, four, five, you know, then he can maybe get up there. But a one hit wonder, you know, people don't know who that is. But I wouldn't say a one hit wonder. Beautiful. What was the, what was the, because you've had a couple songs. Well, yeah, you broke up a couple.

me. You broke up with me. Maybe it's a talk 10 song, right? Yeah. Yeah. But I'll say this. Walker in the past six months has been on New Year's Eve. Okay. Right? You did that national show. The voice. He's done the late night shows. I think he did Fallon. Yeah. We did Fallon.

Okay. So I'm just saying his face is out there. Okay, but like, okay, simple numbers alone, if you were to even just go to Instagram. Or TikTok, and look at the views. Okay, TikTok for sure. I was like, okay, but Instagram launchwalks is active on. Yeah, I don't really TikTok. You do.

And so, like, that alone, I mean, Walker, how much is your Instagram changed in the last year? It's insanity. I mean, I think we had like 200,000 before Fancy Lake. Right, and now you're, what, like, almost to a million? And lunchbox is sitting pretty at $310,000. But I mean, that alone, like, he already has, it's really good, but the numbers, that's like a... Why aren't you sticking up for him? He's coming after you.

I don't know. No, no, it's nothing as Walker. It's nothing personal. It's just facts. So if you guys both walked into a Texas roadhouse, people would recognize me. Okay, not a chance. Not a chance. I think people might recognize you a little bit,

but I think, and I would not subject Walker to this anymore because he's above this. Right. Too bad. Look at Walker. He's wearing a camo jacket. He looks like just someone that got off the deer blind. That's what he looks like. You did get mistaken for a homeless person.

And then, where do you look like you just came from? I walk in and say hello, they're going to be like, whoa! what up lunchbox he would have to go in there and be like hey I'm fancy like he'd start singing and they'd be like oh okay you're that guy that had that song they would know then they might get it okay so you're standing by this yes you're sticking in okay I just wanted to see if it fits

position would change since you were here got you I mean nice guy hey respect not top 25 I respect that but you are top 20 yes is there a chance though he's top 25 though just not ranked more than you no oh I'm not even top 25 still no no he's still got a little way to go what's it going to take I don't know. I mean, he just has to get there. Another song, another dance, another dance, another viral hit.

I mean, fancy like was, what, six months ago, people forgot about it. Oh, wow. Like you always say, you come and go. Those songs, they come and go. People, you got to have the next one. That's the pressure on musicians. They have a great hit. And it's like, all right, where's your next one? He's letting you know the pressure of musicians in case you didn't know longer. Like you haven't been in this town writing songs for the last 15 years or so. Okay, lunchbox, thank you. You're welcome.

How long have you been in Nashville? 17 years 17 and did you ever get to a point where you go you know what I think I'm destined to be a songwriter and maybe I'm not going to be the artist that I thought I could have been when I moved to town yeah yeah did um and but but I mean you know I asked any writer in town I mean that's a that's a far-fetched dream in itself you know I mean it's hard to get outside outside cuts it's hard to get artists to cut your songs but there was a point where that was that was our only hope, you know, we just really hoped that would happen. I saw on Instagram, you got a flat and you changed the tire in nine minutes. Yeah, buddy. That almost seems like pit crew speed.

It's crazy, yeah. So where did you get the flat? Where were we? I don't remember. In town, you just pulled over and... No, no, no, this was, we flew in somewhere for a radio show, and we were running late. We had an hour to get from the airport to the venue. And, you know, and our rental car had a flat and I was like, watch me work and I did it. They have a full spare? Yeah, they had a real, it was a big donut in the back. Yeah, that, you know, came down from the van. We had to figure all that out.

Are you pretty good with cars in general? No. Oh, you're not. No, not at all. I mean, I learned to like change light bulbs and stuff on our old Honda, but I love a flat tire, man. That's a great challenge. You love a flat tire. I don't love having a flat tire, but I enjoy changing it. Yeah. It's a moment to be manly, you know. I'd like to ask you a deeply personal question, if you're okay with that.

From the flat to just deep, let's go. Yeah, I warmed you up with the flat. Oh, okay. Because, you know, with that, there's some adversity and, you know, you had to hit you conquered it. But the deepest, most personal question I could ask, you're a grocery bill. You have six kids. Yeah. I got to imagine. That's pretty steep. It's insane. For eight human beings. Yeah. Like what are the staples at the grocery store?

Do you just go buy, like I'll just take all the meat? Is there like meat day? Like what are we doing here? We do a lot of that rotisserie chicken. That's helpful. We do tons of cereal. We do like six gallons of milk a week. We make french toast.

It's like 20 eggs. I mean, it is, you know, and my sons, you know, my oldest son is 14 and a homeboy, y'all, it's like, it's four peanut butter sandwiches right before he goes to bed every night. I'm talking about like half a loaf of bread and half a thing of jiff. And then it'll just go to bed, you know, and then when he wakes up, he's ready to go again. It's insane. Was that you, though? Oh, yeah, yeah.

I mean, as a teenager, I mean, I could just tank. pizzas and, you know, yeah, I can eat a lot. I want to play a couple clips here. This is Life With You. This is from Walker's new album. Country Stuff, the album. Here is Life With You. Girl, I'm going to tell you right now.

I do it's too light with you. So that songs for your wife, obviously. Yeah, baby. Thanks for playing that. Which song did she say? Because I don't think. She said Life With You. That's her favorite.

Yeah, she loves that song. Yeah. And yeah, that's just, you know, we date in high school. school and a slow ride down old shell road so you guys dated in high school yeah got married after how long oh so we dated when when i was a junior and then we didn't get married till after college so you dated for six years a lot of year yeah six seven years and uh we had a tough year you know right after um right after college we we took we had like a 10 10 month break took a take a hiatus and then um met back up at a friend's wedding, hooked it back up, and got engaged.

What's been the key to a successful marriage? Oh, my Lord. Just a lot of forgiveness and a lot of mercy. And having kids is fun, too, you know? Having kids or making kids is, it's helpful to me in a marriage, you know. But yeah, man, I'm not the marital advice guy. I mean, we're blessed. We've had some tough times, and we've had a lot of good times, and we're still together.

One of my favorite songwriters and one of my favorite singers is Lori McKenna. Anytime she's in town, we have her on the show. Yeah. And this is A Briefcase featuring Lori McKenna, and you two wrote this song together, too. Yeah. Here you go. Here's a clip. Now I sound like him and I look, like him and I walk, like him and I talk, like him, and I try to make my wife laugh when she's mad.

Because I love my job like, and now I get it there. It's a juggling act between feeding the kids and feeding the dreams we chase. I guess it gets on. Doesn't fall too far from a briefcase. An emotional song right there. Yeah. Yeah. Talk to me about writing that song, and I would imagine you go into some pretty emotional, deep places while writing it.

Yeah, yeah. Lori McKenna, I mean, you know, she just kind of brings that out when you write with her. He's such an honest, authentic person. And my dad was sick when we wrote that. He was on my mind, and I was traveling back and forward from Mobile a lot to hang with him in hospice. And we were just talking about dads, and, you know, we were being very honest. You know, I was being really honest about how I resented my dad growing up. I wasn't that great of a kid and didn't have a lot of respect for him.

but as I grew older and had kids of my own, gosh, I just began to understand him more and more. And I was able to forgive him for some things and vice versa. And we said, I love you out loud many times before he died. And he got to hear that song. He didn't know who I was, you know, when I played it for him. But he said, that's a pretty song. And so, yeah, man, Lori, we had a magical day writing that song.

It was very therapeutic. Walker Hayes is with us. His record is out. It's, you know, 13 songs. It's not, he's not the fancy, and not only the fancy light guy. Like, you're a deep, deep guy. Like, you write with, you know, a lot of feeling that you can feel, like, as the listener. You know, sometimes, you know, song owners write songs, they put a lot hard into it, but you don't really feel it back from them. With your songs, I get that a lot. I think that's what drew me to you before I even knew you was, you know, how vulnerable and, you know, kind of the feelings from yourself that you put into songs. Well, thanks for saying that. I, you know, I think vulnerability is kind of one of my coping mechanisms.

I enjoy just kind of telling you right off the bat what I'm not good at and what I'm okay at. And then that way we can just move on and I don't got to pretend anymore. What are you, final question? What are you doing to keep your abs as sharp as they are? because I commented on your Instagram. I mean, I saw you. I recognized a lot of hard work going there. What's happening here? A lot of sit-ups, a lot of lettuce?

What's going on? A lot of lettuce? Not a lot of lettuce. Man, I just, I love to work out. I love the gym is a, I look forward to that time, you know, every day. I listen to music. I write songs, text myself. And I just, I like that hour of each day.

and I do my share of flutter kicks. No sugar? There's bicycles. No, I eat sugar. I mean, I love food, bro. I mean, I eat it all. I'm not on like a diet or anything. And I hate vegetables.

This is not good for other people to hear it because I think. I don't like them. This is just Walker's body, Bobby. I think so. I think, you know, he works hard for it, and he's also been blessed a little bit of genetic. Well, I'm tall. Yeah.

You know. How tall are you, 6-2? I'm 6-3. Oh, I just insulted you. No, you didn't. I'm not having a hike contest. Are you 6-3 shoes off? Lunchbox can win that too.

Huh? Shoes off? I think so. I'm good. Keep shoes on. I mean, I'm close to 6-1, so. Bobby gives himself his shoe hike. Oh, so is you're 6-1 with shoes? With the right shoes.

Not even all shoes. Well, most of your life, you're wearing shoes. Right. Most of my life. You're 6-1. I'm 6-1, yes. All right, country stuff the album from Walker Hayes. today, stream the crap out of it. I'm saying download it, but do people still do iTunes?

They do. I guess some. Yeah, but whatever to consume it. Buy the CD. Go get it. Does that still happen? Yeah. People still do should do you? Yeah. People do still want a CD. All right, there is. Some people want vinyl now if I get vinyl. Now that I understand. I like vinyl. Yeah. Because that's old. You have a record player? Yeah, I got a couple. I don't do that yet. Where do you get a record player? From the store? Walmart even has has a record player? Yeah, Target. With a needle? Urban Outfitters. Wow. You get a record player. You get a record player. You You can go like Forever 21 and get like a black one.

Yeah. Like with like chains on that. So weird, man. Bringing it back. All right, Walker Hayes. Also the, most, I was going to promote the tour, but most of the dates are selling out. Yeah. Do you even need promotion for the tour?

Yeah, I mean, I think there's a couple more dates. The fancy like tour, go to Walkerhaze.com. He promises he will play fancy like, probably. Yeah, yeah. Just keep wondering. All right, Walker Hayes, everybody. Good to talk to you, buddy. Thank you.

On the show this week, there was a pretty intense conversation about parenthood where Bobby admits some things and how he feels about having kids. And no, they're not pregnant yet, but, you know, that was a conversation of topic this week on the show.

Now, Ray, we need to get into a little conversation here with you. You and they have been married for a little bit. You know, you've been telling us about the eggs you guys have saved. Correct. Yes, we pay $500 every year to have them stored at Vanderbilt Clinic. Now, is this the year that maybe they are coming out of storage or what are you guys feeling? It is definitely not. We're not having kids.

Bayser wanted to wait until that five-year mark of being cancer-free. And I really just don't think we're ready. We live in an apartment and we have a cat. So we've got to get the house first, I think. logistically. I mean, not to let that get in the way of things, but I just, I just, we also, we need to wait. So she was cancer free in 2018. Most likely, 2023. We have 23 eggs. My favorite numbers, 23. And 23 would be year five, correct? And Sam Hunt came out with a song 23. They're all just adding up here. And it would be, yes, year five. Okay. And what to do with the cat in

having a baby? You know cats and babies can get a lot. long, right? Well, my wife wanted to get a dog and I said, we're about to be outnumbered by animals. We do have a two-bedroom apartment, but it gets cramped. So I said no to the dog. A kid, my sister come and stay sometimes. One time my cousin came and stayed, it gets tight. It's a place just for me and Beezer right now. So what I'm getting the sins phrase is that like it took you, how long to propose? Oh, boy, seven years because I believe it was my hashtag. at the wedding, maybe it was six years, six years Slater, because my last name Slater. I'm since in a vibe with you of waiting a really long time until you make a really big commitment.

Come on. I believe, honestly, my train of thought on it is a lot of people do what their friends around them are doing. And Bones doesn't have a kid yet. Oh, so because Bones doesn't have a kid, you're fine. Like, that's what you're basing is off of right now, your own life? I mean, also, Billy, me and Billy almost kind of have fallen. the same life pattern. We got engaged. They got engaged first. Then we got engaged. The marriages both happened. They don't have kids yet. Maybe, I mean, that's maybe just kind of the way we're going

too. So, but you're not, you're not saying that you're making decisions based off of your friends. You're just saying it kind of happens that way. Correct. I just believe what people are around that ends up being kind of just how they end up living their life. Like, obviously there's tons of studies that say, your friends determine your future. And we love, we love our, my friends. to go out. I mean, so if Billy was settled down with a kid, I'd be like, man, maybe I need to do that too. Instead of running up

and down Broadway, chasing those Broadway girls. It's a song. That's a song. I was going to say, you're definitely not chasing Broadway girls. Morgan, Little Dirk, I know you're jamming to that song. Can we play clips on this or no? Yeah, you can play a clip. I mean, I think it's similar to show.

I mean, she said that she saw me walking in about a mile away. Bean just had to take her phone and I just took her smile away. I said I'm too drunk and crazy. She don't like the way I dance. I said you don't have to join it. She said she's taking chance. Oh, okay.

That's so good. It's so good. You know what's crazy about that song, too? It blew up on TikTok and then they finally decided to record it. Is that how it went down? I didn't know that real backstory. I know because you're not on TikTok, right? But yeah.

I want to know. Is TikTok going to die? Should I get on it? I think you should get on it. I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. Deal. At least the vibes that I get, everybody loves TikTok. Cool.

Okay. So that's the update on the kid situation. But I mean, Ray, if you do have kids, you know, say this all works out, are you still going to be like partying it up when you have the kids? Are you going to be like the cool parent? What do you feel like you're going to be like as a dad? I feel like you can do it all. I have people that I follow in my life. And, I mean, they have families.

I mean, you can still have drinks on the weekends. You don't have to shut it down and be no fun. Oh, I'm dad bod. No, I mean, you can still be in shape. Oh, sorry, sorry. I can't have a marguerite on a Thursday. What? Yes, you can.

I mean, you can still live. your normal life, you do have some more responsibilities, but just like when you get out of high school and you go to college, boom, more responsibilities, but you're still fun. It's like, oh my gosh, I'm done having fun. I'm going to college. No, you figure out a way to have fun in college and study, you know? And then like, oh my gosh, I'm married. I can never talk to a woman again. Hell no. They'll talk to women all the time. My wife is very close by, and it's not like I'm hitting on them talk to women all the time. I love it this phase in your life that you'll start saying something and you're kind of like,

oh, wait, I didn't say that correctly. I need to fix that a little bit. You got to kind of fix it up a little bit. Yeah, you got to do PR with myself. But no, yeah, you can still drink. I mean, can you wake up on a park bench the next morning on Broadway like I've done before? No, because you have kids to get home to. And, I mean, that would be brutal.

Now, Ray, are you going to be bringing your baby to a bar? And if you don't know that reference. That's a sweet home Alabama. Are you going to be bringing your baby to a bar? I have seen people that can pull it off at these outdoor house bars where you can bring a child. Maybe not an infant. It just got born into the world. But you can bring kids.

They make them now. You can go have fun. Have a couple drinks. You're with your kid. You don't just have to shut it down forever. I'm going to make sure we hold tight to this audio. So when you do have kids, if you're being lame and you're not doing anything, I'm like, Ray, they remember this moment.

Well, my wife did say she's like, jello shots for the get-together's weekend and I'm like, man, are we at that point where we can still do jello shots or do we maybe need to shut that down? That's up in the air. Ray, I don't feel like at any age you can't do jello shots. All right. Jellos shots are probably like the easiest one to do. It's such a frat daddy thing. But yes, they're fun and great, but let's be real. We suck those down in college on Frat Row. Okay. You know how you like make them adult version? You put them in syringes. Let's go. So there was like a bar at when I was in college and in Manhattan that they had these syringes.

It was fake Paddy's Day. And they put all the jello shots in syringes. I was like, that's like an adult version of the jello shots that we make. So if you want to like step it up, because jello shots, you can kind of make, hey, you can make glitter. You can make different colors. You can add like specialty vodkas so you're not like, you know, drinking burnettes or whatever. Correct.

So I think you can adult version the jello shots. And get your vaccine all in one with the syringe. I mean, it's just an idea. You want to step it up and not feel like you're back in college. I like that. Yeah, I think you can. You know what? If I see an 85-year-old taking a jello shot,

I'm going to just be like, that's my girl. I'll live for it. You've got one life to live. You live it in a way you want to. But when it's all said and done, like, don't be kicking yourself. I know I'm not going to be kicking myself. So what's the jello shots for? What are you guys doing this weekend?

You're making jello shot. I didn't know when this aired. So we got the Titans football game and we're doing a little house party action. Oh, yes. And so my wife loves doing it. food that's themed, loves doing, and then she integrated the jello shots. And so I'm pretty sure the group,

they emphasized it, so that means that they liked what she said. So I believe jelloshots are her go. Okay, well, tell her syringes, you can make them blue, Titans themed, put some sparkles in there, you're good to go. I think she's on the exact same train thought as you on that. I know. Laura and I are very similar in a lot of ways.

So yes, I love it. That's going to be fun. And you guys are a big Titans family, aren't you? We are. She's a Nashville native. We went to a couple games this year. Usually we try to squeeze in some. She gets tickets from her dad. So, I mean, that seems like we're fans.

I mean, I'm not just jumping on a bandwagon. So why aren't you guys going to this game? Are the tickets not there for playoff games? They're not. They pretty high demand, the people that we get them from. But also, let's be real. It's not called Nissan Stadium. Bad boy, this weekend's going to be Omnacron Stadium.

You're not wrong. I mean, playoffs are about to bring a lot of things happening across. the country. And I believe there's a hockey game that same night. So Broadway, too. Yeah, watch out for those Broadway girls. There it is. Oh, man, yeah, that's true. Have you been down to Broadway recently? I have, yeah. Yeah, yeah, we, uh, over Christmas break, we were going to jump to some cities. We threw around Gatlinburg, Asheville, Tunica. We didn't go to any of them. We just wanted to veg out and not move because kind of there was a spike in the Omnacron. Yeah. So that's why we didn't do it. But

at Broadway. We did a staycation, stayed at Drury, where it at the hot tub, and we loved it. I mean, we did it. I actually, I mean, we were kind of on the, like, a block away from Broadway. It's not like we were just boom in Broadway. We were like a Mexican spot, a block from Broadway. Fifth and B, kind of a block from where it gets hot and heavy Broadway. Fair. Now, did you guys just veg out in the hotel the whole time, or did you hit Broadway? We, I mean, fifth and B, we went there. We, I believe we jumped real quick. quick to maybe whiskey row, but then we're out. It was just like, it was almost like people left here for Christmas time. So it's kind of dead. And I believe there was winter stormish stuff

happening. So yeah, we had a hot tub at Drury. We didn't really want to leave that spot. We'd go, we'd go eat. We went to, I believe that's when Brett Eldridge fell into. That might have been around November. But yeah, we were, we definitely, we hit a couple bars, but it's not, it's probably nothing like you do with your girls. Oh, no, not anymore. Ray, I do not go down to Broadway since my birthday and all that crap went down. Okay. I ain't trying to experience that in my life again. All right.

I've been going to some more local bars, which I refuse to give away because at this point, I'm starting to see Bachelorette parties and stuff filtered into all the local bars. And I'm like, oh, my gosh. But like I thought we had gotten away from it a little bit, you know, not have to deal with the high drink prices and super chill. And now I'm just giving away all my secrets. So I refuse. Yeah, you keep doing these little tidbits and Instagram video.

I mean, people are going to know now. and all these other spots are packed. I try and only do the ones that are already packed, you know, the ones that people know about. But, you know, on that topic, though, I think I've been hit up so many times in the DM this week. A lot of people are planning a trip to Nashville. So without giving away our super local spots, Ray,

do you have any pro Nashville tips for anybody? Well, I mean, I'm fresh on this one. So I kind of did a little investigating. And the only outdoor hot tub downtown at a hotel is the drury. So great place to stay because you're also. So you can walk to Broadway, right? All these hotels down there, walkable, this one's easily. But yeah, it's a huge hot tub.

And I mean, they got that thing pumping from, believe it opens maybe eight. And you can bring drinks down there. They don't care if you bring a cooler. It's an adult hot tub. The kids then can go in the, it's a heated pool. So I'm talking, go winter, go summer, go whatever. But you can rock it right now. Oh, sweet.

It's a great spot to stay. I discovered it when we were at the Omni and we were out. What were we doing at Omni? We were on the rooftop or we were in our room at the Omni. And I go, what is that hotel and why are there people in the outdoor pool? And I like did the little hand binoculars. And I go, that's not a pool.

That's a hot tub. Did some investigating. For sure, a hot tub. And now you've stayed in it and you loved it. Yeah. Oh, I was down there. I logged eight hours a day. Bay would come down a little bit.

She rocked the bikini. And then she'd go up in the room, watch ID channel. She goes, it's my vacate, too. I'm just going to chill because we had a pretty big hotel room. They upgraded us randomly. So I'm like, all right, I'll just be at the hot tub. So, I mean, I brought beer. down to the hot tub. I'm talking to random people.

So basically you were pruning yourself is what you were doing. Yes. So fun. So in my mind now, I just went back to that spot and it was, dang, I might even need a book room tonight. I better get on it. I mean, there we go. That's the, that's the place to be according to Ray. So if you need somewhere to stay, stay at the Drury Hotel. Yeah, good, good luck with it. But yeah, it's Drury. Now, okay, a place to eat. One place that I have that I love has great Margarie. and sweet corn impanadas is Butcher Town Hall. Wow. That's a foody spot. Oh my gosh.

I didn't think I would like it because it has a lot of foody things. And as a vegetarian, I'm very simple, right? Like, I hate, there's nothing I hate more than looking at a restaurant menu and it's super small. And there's like 10 items. And I'm like, what am I going to do with that?

Like, give me the cheesecake factory menu where I can choose 80 different things. The book. You know, all of it. Butchertown Hall, if you come in town, they have great margaritas, you'll get nice and bun, before a night out. So that's a good spot. You got any restaurants you want to recommend?

Fifth and B, we've said it before, but you go in there, you rock, you go to the pizza spot. I believe it's De Sano's and they put actual, I like spicy and especially with my pizza. I like spicy with my pizza. You like wanted to say that so bad and then you messed it up. You're going for it. Dang it. I try to do some stand-up. It was there. But they'll put actual almost like habanero peppers on this pizza. And I randomly will just get a wild hair and just crave it so bad. It's one of those pizzas. You will eat.

You know there's a DeSanos right by us, right? I don't think they put actual habaneros. You got to go to the 5th and B spot. Yeah, dude, the 5th and B, just the whole food hall, everything. Like, if you have like 80 different tastes in your group, food hall is where it's at. Great recommendation. Great way to put it. Caddy Corner from DeSano, so you're eating your little spicy pepper on your pepperoni pizza

is a cookie dough factory and you just go get a bowl of cookie dough. Oh yeah. And then what if the kids want cotton candy? That's behind you. It's everything. I think the cotton candy you can spike too. Like I think you can make the cotton candy alcoholic. You really can.

And Bay actually brought that up, I believe, when we were popping around town. And I was just like, we just can't. I'm not doing spiked cotton candy. Like, what is going on with my life? I just want a beer. Give me a McLough ball to. I mean, Ray, it's no different than doing a jello shot. True.

It's literally probably in the same vein. You and Bay just need to hang out instead of me. Get me out of the equation. Because, yeah, she threw it at me. And I'm like, no, no, no. No, just not to me. Listen, that's because Bay and I just want to try all the things. True.

Like, we just want to experience life and the fun things. The aesthetically pleasing, too, that we can put on Instagram. So all of that's a good option. But also, there was something that fit them Broadway. I was going to mention, oh, they have donut distillery in there. The Apple store. No, not Apple store. They have donut distiller, which is my favorite donuts in town.

They're little mini donuts. And they are the bomb. Not a donut guy, but on a random hungover Saturday. I may consider that. Well, if you want to go to their, like, brick and mortar store, they have donuts that you can pair with mimosas or Bloody Marys or beers. Like, they do the whole sweet thing in there. I'm telling you, those donuts.

I devour a dozen myself. Love it. Very easily. I still got to go to your Mexican spot you recommended. Butchertown? No, it was, you could drive on Charlotte. It's kind of in the gulch. It's called, like.

Oh, the tacos. Yes. Yeah, the tacos. Now I can remember. We've recommended a few things. Cantalanas or something. like that. I don't know.

Taka. That spot. No, no, no. Because I saw it when I was going to publics the other day. I still need to hit up that one. Yeah, that's a good one. I mean, there's so many, like, too. I have a bunch on my Nashville highlights.

So people will, like, hit me up. I'm like, y'all, just go to my Nashville highlights because I can't even remember what I've done in the five, six years now that I've lived in Nashville. I couldn't tell you. That a girl. No, I'm serious. How do you remember everything in everywhere you've ate? It's like trying to eat and remember everything in New York or San Francisco.

Candado. Candado tacos. You're welcome. Yeah, there we go. All right. Well. It's all on my list. No, you need to eat there.

There's too many restaurants in this town. There is. I mean, there's something for everyone. I mean, Fifth and Broadway has a bunch of cool spots. They also have a good Mexican restaurant in there. So those are some Nashville recommendations. But what I want to leave this on, Ray? Yes.

We were talking about babies. We're going to end it on babies. Do you already have any names picked out if you happen to have kids? Not really. Probably to, you know, see a movie and just go with that. I love the character in it. Oh, I'm about to have a kid. Let's, I enjoyed that flick.

Why not, why not name a kid after that? You name after a movie character? I don't know. I mean, I'm a big nickname guy. I'm almost, well, the trade, like, I'm almost from the school of thought that, uh, it, you have to see the kid first. Okay. You're old school. Well, I, yeah, I, maybe we just name it John Doe, Jane Doe until I need to get, I'm good at

nicknames and stuff like that. I'm like the nickname king, sister nickname, nephew, little nephew, all these kids and people in my life got nicknames. But yeah, I believe it'll be a something like that. I got to feel it out. So basically you're going to name one only to give it a nickname. Yes. Got it. I do think a lot of people do that. I have one name on my radar that I've had my entire life if I ever choose to have kids. Are you ready? It's for a girl. And if anybody on the show takes it, I will hurt them because I'm stating it here. I'm definitely listening. Don't take it.

You take it, I'll be mad because I'm still named my child. Most likely, if I ever choose that path, but Kingsley. Okay. That's something from Netflix. No. I saw it on a road sign when I was road tripping when I was super young. And it's been like stuck in my brain ever since. I've loved the name.

It's like Kingsley. I know Kingsley. Kingsley's a good one. I know. It's just in my head for a little girl. A lot of gray girls. named Kingsley. Is there really? I can think of one. I mean, in my, it was a growing college. She was awesome. Kingsley. Yeah. Well, I like that name.

You know, maybe I'll end up being like Ray and being super old fashioned and be like, I have to see the baby. I'm like, that's not a Kingsley. But I don't feel like that. Or yeah, I mean, kids aren't going to be named stuff. It's just going to be like these, a meme or something like that. I don't even know. I mean, there's, eventually we got to move from names. You think, what do you think we're going to be? I mean, we have to have identify me. think we're going to be like numbers no i mean like these nfts are going crazy now people are changing their twitter profiles with an nfts like jake owin did his nfts it's like a it's like a computer generated image of himself oh so you're basically saying like in the metaverse basically those that metaver or

people just go by their screen names they don't have actual names that would be interesting sorry sorry way too deep no but could you imagine in 10 years if people are only going by their screen names like everything is all as one but we had the vagus convention and we said it would have been better If on the name tags, people didn't have their names if they had their screen names because we know everybody by their screen names. You're not wrong because even still like if somebody like somebody may have a name and I'm like, oh, this is this is your first and last name. They're like, no, that's just my my Instagram name. You don't know anybody's last names anymore. I know.

What is yours? Oh, yeah. My last. No, that's Morgan. No, I said. Oh my gosh. Ray just totally mistaken me for other Morgan. No, no.

I know yours. Yeah. You can say it out of it. It's fine. But it's just because I'm Morgan number two on the show. Yes. That my last name became number two. I was trying to think.

Yeah. But I think you have your last name on your Twitter or Instagram or something. I have it somewhere. Yes, yes. Or maybe it's your email. When I send you, that's the only reason I know it. Because when I send you an email,

I see it every time. Yep. Because we have to have our first and last name as our emails. That's the reason. Oh, man. There you have it, folks. We're going to have screen names as baby names. You're welcome.

All right. You guys can hear. right now Bobby talking about parenthood, you know, on how he feels he's going to be a dad whenever they decide to have kids. Number six. I was reading this list of the most rewarding thing in your life. And before I go to the list, Amy, what's the most rewarding thing in your life? My kids.

Eddie? Children. You know, that's the number one thing here, too. It's becoming a parent. Now, I'll give you three was friendships or relationships. Number two was your job, if you love it. And number one is becoming a parent. and I just wonder if I'm missing out.

And listen to me here. Am I missing out by not becoming a parent? Because I will eventually, but I am 41 years old. I will not be a parent before I turn 42. My wife is not pregnant yet. So maybe at age 42 I become a dad for the first time. Maybe, maybe at 43? I don't know.

But I have two things kind of holding me back here. It has been forever. One, I think I'll be a bad parent because I didn't have, Good parent role models. My dad left. My mom was in and out. My grandmother adopted me for a while. So what my fear is, I didn't have good models at all and that I'm going to really suck at it.

Number two, I have only been doing me for so long. And I've been so dedicated to my job because I could control that for the most part. So if I have a kid and I'm bad at being a parent and it takes away from what I'm good at, I lose in both lanes. I'm basically running I'm running negative in two lanes So when I read stories About what's the most rewarding thing being a parent Do people just say this because they have to?

No I mean some parents Might not say it I would say for me Especially through the adoption process And this whole journey and things that We've been able to do for our kids But also that they've been able to do for us Like being a parent

Will show you things about yourself That you never realized Or bring up wounds about yourself for your parents, for example. This is a perfect opportunity where you'll get through some of that stuff and be able to give them the gift of being actually a parent that went through healing.

Eddie, what's your advice here? Well, in your case, like you were going down the list of what makes you think that maybe you won't be a good parent. One, the first one you said about, you know, you didn't have a good example of that. I think that's going to make you a better parent. Oh, I don't know. It could do one of the other.

It could do one. I agree. Well, I think that it will because you will learn from, oh, that drive of, I don't know, don't want to be like that. I don't want to do what they did. And then you recognize those things of like, oh, no, no, no, I'm starting to act like my dad. Or I'm starting to act like my mom. I can't act like my dad unless I leave. I'm saying in my situation. There are things growing up where I was like, oh, I do not want to raise my kids like this because my dad just did this all wrong. And I have that

growing up now. And two, on, you know, like just you're older now, bones. I was a terrible parent when I first, when I had my first son. I mean, I didn't know what to do. I was scared. Now they have four kids and older and I've lived a little bit, know a little more about life, I feel like I've got this down now. So I think you're at the perfect age now to have kids. I think you're going to be a great dad. Hey, Scoob, Steve, you and I grew up very similar. You have two kids now. I think it's a lot of that. You've seen all the things not to do. So just do the exact opposite of what your parents did. And that's what I do. And I think also that yearning of wanting to give somebody a life that you didn't have is what really takes over. So for me,

I'm still trying to get me the life I didn't have. Yeah, but I think you get to a point there where you're out there, but now you want to give that to a child because you didn't have it as a child. So you want to make sure they have a childhood and enjoy life. Do you guys ever think that the world kind of sucks? Why would you want to bring somebody new into the world that kind of sucks? Because I think that too. Yeah, you worry about that. Like, it sucks. Sure. You worry that like, oh, man, they're going to have to go through. And it's going to get worse. And it's not going to get better. So yeah, you worry about it. But I guess we had that too when we were growing up. Our parents worried about certain things. The only thing that makes me consider that maybe I'm wrong on that is that I think every generation goes out.

Well, it kind of sucks right now. But it's getting really sucky. I'm going to have to buy my house in the Metaverse. You know, I got to buy. It's getting crazy. It's just getting crazy out there. But I did see the most rewarding thing is being a parent. And I think I will be.

I'm going to be an older parent. But the one thing that I won't have to freak out about is my parents couldn't afford food sometimes for us. I'm okay. I've built a good career, you know, but I obviously know that's not the most important. But you guys would all say number one. That's the most rewarding thing. Yes, 100%. Amy, he didn't say it passionately.

Amy said, yeah. Oh, no. thinking about it. I mean, no, yes, it is. No, yes. Amy just said yes. I answered you then right away, but yeah, now I'm thinking about all the things. She's rethinking you being a parent. All right, thank you guys.

Eddie has been coming in hot with all the parenting tips lately, and I should say parenting tips lightly. Parenting advice or parenting suggestions, I don't really know. But this week he came on the show talking about how he made his kids pay up when they lost something. And it was kind of a big deal. People were not sure how to feel about it, but I would say online that most people agreed with Eddie that it was a good, smart move and they learned some

life lessons pretty early. So you guys can hear that right now. Number five. All right. Let's go over and talk to Eddie. Eddie has four boys. Yeah. Plus you. That's five boys. One wife. Does she ever just feel outnumbered? Yes, always. I would imagine that it's kind of gross, too, with five guys on one. Oh, and we all fart. Yeah, that was my point. Stuff like that, yeah.

Like it's messy, you all smell. Yes. Does she ever just throw her hands up and be like, I just need some sort of like woman or girl to hang out with? She likes to go get her nails done or something once a week just so she can go be a woman and like get away from us. Yes. I would imagine that house stinks all the time.

Okay, what happened with kids? Well, we've been expecting some cold. weather here in the last month here in Nashville. So I was trying to get ahead of it. I said, look, if it does snow, we're going to order these gloves for the boys. See, like snow gloves so they can play in the snow. It's about 20 bucks a pop for these gloves. And so when I bought them, I said, boys, if you lose any of these gloves, even one glove, you're going to pay me back in cash. It's $20 each. And they said, we're not going to lose them. Sure enough, we had a snowstorm this weekend.

They lost, two of them lost one glove, like one left-hand glove and one right-handed glove. They lose it, so I had to do what I had to do. I said from the beginning, if you lose them, you pay me, they paid me. Do you keep the money? Yeah, of course. What do you do with the money from them? Well, I told them I would order more gloves because that's kind of what it goes to. I just don't want it to be, like, wasteful and say, hey, if I lose the gloves, no big deal.

But you won't just like take it and then be like, okay, now that you know what it's like to not have money, here it is back. No, but what I'm hoping is that it doesn't snow anymore and I don't have to buy gloves anymore. Until next year. Right, right. Do they get mad when you take their money? Yes, yes, they argue with me a little bit and they say, come on, Dad, like, really, like, I didn't mean to lose it or let me wait till the snow melts and I'll go find it. I'm like, well, that's too late. What if they find it, can they get their money back?

Oh, good question. Yes, they can. And they heard it right here, they can. Do they listen to this? Sometimes. Kids, go find those gloves. As soon as the snow is out. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

It's always weird when I include myself on this little countdown, but this was a really cool thing for me to get to share. It was my personal. Tell me something good about my dog, Remy and I, and we're a therapy animal team. You can see the really sweet video and the picture of Remy and her cute dress and the whole thing to go along with this story up at Bobby Bones.com.

But now, you know, not talking about myself too long because it makes me feel weird. Ray, do you have any life updates to share anything new going on in your life? We talked about the kid thing, baby thing. Anything else? Let's see. Me and Beezer and

our life. We've been looking at vehicles. I got a ghetto banger, Trailblazer from college. And it's been way too long. It's a ranch truck now. It's on its last leg. But I still keep getting some upgrades

through the car dealerships I got here in town. Thank you guys. Mad shout out to all you all out there. But so, yeah, we're trying, we've been looking at new forerunners, but had not. No idea. A new forer was like $30,000. I mean, yeah, right. That's cheap compared to most cars.

So me and Vaser were all in. It was just black murdered out forerunner. And these things look sick. I mean, if you see somebody driving this in Nashville, you're like, for sure, that's a country artist star. Or a Pratt's player. Or Preds. It had just been me and Bays are chilling. But yes, we got all the pictures. We're going through the dealership and everything's looking good. Then they hit us with the price tag. $30,000 And Beazer's like,

I'm good with my car and I go, yeah, Trailblazer ain't that bad. So we're going to hold off a little bit a couple months. But we were gung-ho. I mean, a little bit before Christmas, I mean, we had boom, take these credit scores, boom, all this, all that, everything's great. I mean, but even with all your, you know,

dealerships connections you have, can you get like a pretty sweet deal? Or was that like the lowest deal? They were already hooking it up. And every month, I believe the payments were going to be $500, $600. No, thanks. I have other uses for that money. I don't know what yet, but I don't want to just go into a car dealership.

Yeah, that's fair. I mean, when you don't have a payment that you have to make right now and then all of a sudden you have to make one, it definitely hurts. Remember those car payments in college? Yes. Yes. Every time it came out, I cried a little. It was so bad because it would be car payment and rent.

Like, every college kid, the very last three days of the month are just in the worst. mood because it's car payment and a $500 rent payment brutal every single time so bad so I get that I get not wanting to have a payment so possibly a car this year yeah oh definitely because the trailblazer is already like has it broken down on you at all are you just like ready oh we are it's come close very close uh I mean I just randomly got like it was like uh breaks roters an arm a right arm was like hanging loose. So when you get weird stuff happening to your car, that's when you know. That's your car's way of saying, like, I've done everything I could for you. Like, I was there for you in college. I was there for you when you moved to Nashville. I was there for you on so many failed dates.

I was there for you when you met Bayer and she was like, what is this pile of bleep? And how many years have you had it for? I had it since college. So it's a 2005. I got it in 2007. Oh, yeah. It is absolutely on its last leg. I've been dominating it for well over a decade, 15 years. How that car, between you and lunchbox's car, I don't know how both of them are still alive. Right. So hilarious. I know. Yeah, his, whatever it is, his Nissan, he's very close as well to get in a new one.

I mean, I will say, like, even having, like, a newer car is not all that's cracked up to be. When I was home, I rode tripped at home in my Jeep. And I have learned that I don't know if jeep are the best road trips, because when I got home, I had to put $3,000 in it to fix the oil system, the coolant system. and something else. I can't even remember because I was so mad when I saw like the price of having to fix my freaking car to get it home. Yes.

So I say that like new car is cool. You get a new car and it may function. But like you have to put even more money into the new cars when they break down on you. You should have got your boyfriend to fix it. Oh yeah. Oh like the whole systems, right? Like they were pulling out full systems.

I'm like, what is happening? All because you road trip to Kansas? All because I drove home. That maybe a, your little, uh, Jeep life, maybe you guys are just made for some mountain passes and cruising around Nashville. I mean, apparently. I mean, I've known that they're like, they're like people call them money suckers. It's really not a car you would road trip in, though.

You should have almost gotten a rental. I mean, yeah, but like, it's so spacious. I love driving my Jeep. But you're on interstates and stuff and it's just like, aren't the- I don't have, I don't have tires met for, you know, going in the mountains. I haven't really like investigated your Jeep as I was investigating mountain tires. and I was like, man, you're just rolling down the expressway like that? If I had those kind of tires, no, I want to.

I have like a very roadside friendly jeep. Got you. As much as like I say, I want to be like, you know, off-roading. We know how that went the one time I tried to do that. So I don't do that. It's called the E. Clair. You have like the sweet version of a Jeep. Yeah.

It's like that it's very gentle. Yes. Yes. But yeah, I had to drop like $3,000. So I don't know. I mean, I've also known a lot of people who've had to fix like their new cars and it's still a lot of money. So you buy a new car, but like the same issues they're going to follow. It just looks different.

I would be nervous driving a new car too. I mean, yeah. When you get at a grocery store in the banger, in the ranch truck, I just park. I'm like, somebody door to me. I don't care. You're going to be parking all the way in the back. You're like, we're walking. That's what I'm saying.

You got to make sure nobody's parking on either side of you. The other thing, too, that was hard for me. Like, the reason I got the Jeep, I liked getting the Bluetooth, but there was so many bells and whistles in the new cars. I couldn't, when I was trying to drive and when I was like, I don't know what's beeping at me. I don't know what it's trying to tell me, but I have no idea where it's coming from. So like, I like the new technology, but I hate all the bells and whistles of it. Like, they don't even know what's happening. You almost have to literally like get a tutorial on your own new car.

Yeah, that new technology for vehicles came in hot. It was like cars normal, normal, normal. Boom, Bluetooth, video screens. Everything's digital. You don't put your keys in the ignition anymore. That happens to me. When I get a rental, I'm like, what is happening? Yeah, and especially you, like the car that you have right now has no technology, right?

It probably still has the CD player. Yeah. Right? Like, you don't have Bluetooth. Ironic enough, I don't even got a radio in that, bad way. The irony. You're not helping with our ratings, right? That's bad.

Oh, man, that is bad. But, yeah, I mean, like, no, that's funny. I mean, we're in here. You can't listen anyway. But when you do get a new car, that's going to be like a serious culture shock for you. Oh, agreed. Especially there's one part two that kept really bothering me when I tried to drive like a new car with bells and whistles. The rearview mirrors have little things on there to show you that somebody's like in your blind spot or whatever.

Familiar with that. Every time it did it, I was like, am I running into something? What am I doing wrong? It kind of throws you off. Yeah. Yeah, I agree with that. When I was experiencing that, I felt the exact same way. You kind of like flinch for a second

And you're like, oh, that just means somebody's coming by me Mm-hmm. So that's why I ended up getting the Jeep that I did Because it didn't, it had Bluetooth. That's cool. Connected my phone, great. That was all I needed. It has nothing else.

It doesn't have a backup camera. It doesn't have anything. And people are like, how do you not have all of that? I'm like, I don't want it. I don't really need it. I know. So you may end up like me, right? Hey, you want to get really blown away?

You get in a Tesla. Oh. We do that Earth app. It's just like Uber and Lyft, but a Tesla comes and picks you up. The door's like. Because it's like eco-friendly. Is that what it?

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, Earth. So you can just download the app. It's only in certain cities, Nashville, Austin. It's not in everywhere. I want to try that. Doors open up like goal wing.

They just open up from the bottom to the top. Like a spaceship. Yeah. And when you get in there, the whole top of the car is see-through. So there's no roof. There's a roof, but it's seethrough. So you just see trees up above you and everything. And aren't those, I mean, those are eventually the ones that are going to be able to full-on self-drive, right?

Yeah. No, they self-drive already. Yeah. It's just a little controversial. The people that are doing it will show you it. And I'm like, whoa, put your hands on the wheels. And he's like, no, no, no, no, I want to get to brunch and not die. So maybe you're going to get a Tesla.

No, no, no, no, no. I was talking 30,000 earlier. I don't know if that's even. That's probably 130,000. I thought the, like, car Teslas were decent for a price. They are. I don't know. I'm just going to just go sit in a Target parking lot and charge my Tesla.

Yeah, what happens if you die and that's like your, that's like your, first time transitioning over to like a car that charged. You're like, I have to get to a charger. Got to get to Target. Man, the deals can wait. No, I have to charge my car. Oh my God. Okay. There was something else I wanted to hear from you too. Okay. So how situation you guys haven't moved yet? No, no, no. Still in the apartment. Still, okay. Still happening that way. What about Vegas? I want to hear about y'all's trip to Vegas, the sore losers convention. It was sick. Over a hundred people that listened to the sore losers podcast were there. They were rocking it. A lot of. A lot of

came as couples. So, I mean, boom, dude and a chick from St. Louis, a guy and a girl from Vegas. And, I mean, sometimes it's just like, man, I think of people as, listen to podcasts, like, live in their parents' basement. But, like, there were, like,

really attractive couples, and they're like, yeah, we love your show. And I'm like, you guys just don't go to bars and party, you just podcast? And like, well, I mean, we listen to it on the way to work. I'm like, oh, okay, cool. So it was so, I because I guess because it's a sports podcast, I assume, a bunch of dudes. Let's go football. I mean, the girls were rolling there with them.

They loved it. Well, I think you guys have a podcast that mixes both. I really do. Yeah, but it was so cool. Everybody represented their hood so well. It'd be like a dude from Fayetteville, Alabama, you know, college town. Yeah. Fayetteville is Arkansas.

This dude was from Alabama, which is where the hell are the Alabama crimson tied in? Huntsville? I don't know. You're the one that's supposed to know all the sports things. All I know is it's Alabama. Tuscaloosa. Dang it. This dude's from Tuscaloosa, and he's got the frat look.

He's got his hair all messed up. He talks like a frat guy. And I'm like, everybody's doing such a good job. The couple from St. Louis, they had the St. Louis accent. What's the St. Louis accent? It's tough to explain. It's kind of like, it's more Michigan. Yeah.

So, yeah. So, uh, they don't say A, but it's, uh, it's definitely an interesting accent. I can't explain it. Do you think I have an accent? I would say you're just a normal all-American accent. That's interesting because I'm from Kansas. I mean, St. Louis is like six hours away. Yeah, maybe like Kansas.

Maybe a little nasly. Well, we just have weird. We have slang, slang on certain words. That's where our like accent comes in. But, but yeah, I guess, I mean, so yeah, I don't know. But it's tough for me to do the St. Louis accent. But then you had the Vegas. I was just asking because I never knew they had an accent.

Then there was people from California there. And he's like, what's up, bro? the dude was like literal surfer lingo and it was so cool and then there'd be the couple from Vegas and they were so chill and just like like like it was to talk to them it was just a great experience like but I brought my wife my sister met up my sister's friend was there so it was non-stop partying I had to kind of chill a little bit because we I had responsibilities yeah well that was going to be my question did you get like ray wild or did you be like ray tame ray tame I I didn't wait too much stuff to do.

It's like we got there. And then, all right, we got to go to this business dinner. Oh, and the next morning we got to do a podcast. So, I mean, I had two drinks one day, three of the next. It was very chill. I wish you all could see his eyes. He's, like, very irritated by the fact he didn't get to be wild. When you know, you know, you can only have two drinks.

I mean, you should have some. I was rolling my eyes all the time. I'm just like, oh, my gosh. I wish I get down a sixer. So you didn't stay out late then. What about after? You could have done it like after you've done all your responsibilities? The first night, I was so exhausted.

Just stuff with the big show with the Bobby Bone show. I mean, just so many responsibilities getting it prepared and stuff. I was exhausted. So I was in bed by 1130. Girls came rolling in at 2.30 in the morning all hammered. And then we had to get up. And then that next night, I knew that at a flight. So then Saturday night, I'm thinking, oh, flight tomorrow.

I don't want to feel terrible. I don't want to feel Morgan terrible when you go to every airport and throw up. So I go, man, I don't. But we went to Fremont Street. We went out until one or two in the morning. But it wasn't, I mean, I had like a Red Bull vodka. midnight and that was it. So it's very chill. Ray, I feel like you are growing up.

I do not know how to handle this. I was ready for you to be like, I was out until like 4 a.m. and then I got up is rough. Like I was ready for the Ray stories. But you know what? I woke up on Sunday for that flight and I felt like a legend. Okay. Isn't it crazy how you're like, I am so proud of myself.

I am sober going on this flight? I was. I was. Bayser went a little bit harder and there was one time she went and got on the escalator and only put one of her feet on it. And I was like, your body is not functioning properly. Here, hold my hand. Was that the hungover baza or was that the drunk bayser? No, no, no.

She's just a little slightly hungover. Oh, yeah. But yeah. When you are hung over, all of your motor functions don't quite operate the way they need to. Yeah, it's definitely a different way of living. And it gets so annoying because you get impatient with yourself. But yeah, it was a dope trip. I want to hear about the big money that you all put down.

Well, I wasn't in on that bet, but yeah, they put five. Wait, you weren't in on that? No, just because you weren't going to get paid your money that. same day. They had like a spreadsheet. There was a hundred people in on it and they're going to pay you in a week. And when you're in Vegas, you want that money right now. I want my bag, you know. So you're just part of the experience. You didn't make any money. Yeah. So I cheer. It was so loud. We had, here it is. I mean, that sounds like a football stadium. Yeah. It sounds like y'all had a full on game happening there. It was insane. Those people were all up my butt too. I was like,

guys, keep your distance. Where's the six feet around here? Did you end up leaving earlier than lunch and Eddie? Oh, yeah. We did that bet. And then my sister and wife and my sister's friend all hung out with lunch and Eddie. And I had to go to bed. I was faced. I went plant city into a pillow. So who are you, Ray? I know.

It was bad. But I just told them. I'm not a late. Remember, it's Pacific time there. I'm central time. So in my central world, it was past midnight. I was exhausted. I don't stay up tonight.

I'll be in bed by eight. Tomorrow night. I'll watch the Titans game. I don't know when this airs. I'll be in bed by eight. I don't stay up late. That's my rule for my life. Yeah, but that's normally when you're working.

When you're like out on a weekend, you don't do that. No, I still go to bed early. I've like programmed myself since I got into radio. Radio's in early life. Boom. I go to bed early. All my friends. Everybody knows my schedule.

If they text me like 801, they're like, so sorry I'm texting. I know you're already about to get to ready for bed. They have to clarify. Wait, so, okay, then you wake up at like 3 a.m. on the freaking weekend? Yeah. I mean, I go to bed at six, wake up it. Yeah, I get up early as hell on the weekend. I'm up at five.

What do you do? Nobody's even awake at that time. That's the million dollar question because sometimes I'm like, there's nothing to do. So why do you fight yourself through that? That's just life. Leave me alone. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I got to gamble.

They let me do some sports betting. Was this the exception for the weekend? For the weekend. You'll win some, you'll lose some. But yeah, we definitely won more than we lost. It was awesome. It was fun. Yeah, the coolest bet was I was about to take a flight.

home and we still have money left and I was like all right I'm going to put $100 on Penn State they were plus five and a half first half because we had to catch a flight so I only have an hour to gamble and I was like all right I got to pick a first half because they got first half can't go into overtime so I'm like all right Penn State plus five and a half it came down to the final possession they were playing Ohio State they were down by five and I got five and half so that means I won the bet as long as Ohio State didn't score the Ohio State guy there's like five seconds left he's dribbling he goes to shoot it up at the basket blocked by the Penn State guy. I'm up at the Mirage because we jumped around other hotels on the Monorail.

Bayser taught me about that. You pay 20 and you can go to all the different hotels. And so we go to the Mirage. And I'm yelling. It is 10 in the morning in Vegas because we had to catch the play. And everybody's like about to bet football. And they're all looking at me. Like I'm the absolute biggest loser. Because who's betting first half college basketball when you have NFL? And so I'm like, yeah, all the playoffs happen. I'm like, yeah, block his ass. Block it. And then I get that. And then Bay is like, get me out of here. That was so embarrassing. I. I was like, yes, it was, but we won. How much money did you win on that bet?

So you won what you put down, basically. So I put down 100, I won 100, so I got then 200 from the ticket counter. I mean, that's pretty cool. It was so cool because everybody else is just drinking their coffee. They're like, how was your night last night? And everybody's maybe having a little bit of a mimosa. And I was just partying going so hard. I'm like, let's go!

And all these bros look at me like, oh my gosh, that dude goes way harder than us. Well, you're also just on that energy level when you're sober, too. So that's why. Like, I'm sure you were dead sober at this moment. But yeah. Oh, man. I'm glad you all had a good time in Vegas. You're going to be doing it again?

I believe. Yeah, maybe the same city or maybe they do it in Nashville. Stuff's been thrown around. But it was so successful that it has to happen again. And, I mean, it was like the excitement. Like, everybody loved it. It was, you know, you talk to a girl. And she's like, genuinely, I kind of felt dragged by my boyfriend to come to this.

but I'm glad I did. This is so fun. Because it was like you combined everything. You combined Vegas, gambling, drinking, party. And you guys? And they did like a party bus. And I heard couples were swinging. What?

Wait, you guys weren't on the party bus? No. They did a party bus without you? Yeah. Just the listeners didn't. I mean, they were like on their whole own other vibe. They went hard. And yeah.

And I mean, they were like, oh, yeah. There was two different buses. And people would swing back to forth to the buses. I'm like, What? Hey, what happens in Vegas? Stays in Vegas, except for when Ray talks on the podcast about it. It's all right.

We don't know your identities. It's fine. It's fine. Oh, man. On that note, you guys can hear my personal tell me something good story that I shared on the show this week. I hope it makes you smile. And I hope maybe somebody out there decides to become a therapy animal team like Remy and I. Number four.

It's time for the- good news. Tell me something good. With a personal tell me something good, it's Morgan. Morgan, what happened? So my dog, Remy and I are a therapy animal dog team, and she went to visit her first retirement home this weekend. I dressed her all up in a little dress I bought from the toddler section at Target.

And she went and visited over 30 elderly people. And it was really sweet because when we would go up to them, they would share their stories about the dogs they used to had, and that was like almost the only thing they would remember. But Remy, like, inspired them to remember those stories. One of them couldn't talk to us, but him and Remy held pause for five minutes because that was the thing that made him happy. Really?

Yeah. Well, you're giving the dog all the credit. You said she's visiting people. I mean, you're also. Yeah. I'm with her, but, I mean, it's her. I think for me, it was really heartwarming to feel that and experience it with Remy, but it was also really heartbreaking because so many of them don't have their memory.

anymore and you just don't know if they have family visiting or if they're alone. But for them, these dog visits when we left, they were like, thank you so much for taking the time. And one of them was like, that really put a smile on my face and my whole heart just sank. How do you get to be a therapy team? We trained. I, you know, Remy is great with humans and only really loves humans. And I was like, I feel like she'd be a great therapy dog. So we did training for six weeks, passed a really extensive exam. And now she's a therapy dog. And you can only wear human clothes from the toddler section, but they do fit the dog.

They do fit the dog. It was dressed your pet day, and I didn't have some. So I just went to the toddler section, bought a dress and like, you know, cut it up so it fit Remy. That's an awesome story. That is what it's all about right there. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

This time he brought something to the show where his neighbor did something to him. And you're going to kind of be a little bit like, why did that happen? I know if a neighbor did this to me, I'd be so angry. But surprisingly, Lunchbox handled it pretty well, so you can hear that right now. Number three. Apparently Lunchbox's neighbor confronted him. Should you say why, or do you want to just play the clip? Just play the clip

Why are you recording your neighbor? No, no, this is what happened. I was in the front yard and we're talking and he says something and I'm like, excuse me, did he really just say that? So then I reach in my sweatshirt

because I got the little pocket in the front of the hoodie and I hit record it and I ask him to repeat himself because I want to make sure I heard him correctly. Okay, here we go. It's about 40 seconds.

Here you go. Excuse me? What'd you say? I couldn't hear you. Hey, I'm just saying you have the last house in the neighborhood with the Christmas lights on.

I walk all over and everyone else has put theirs away. Yours is the last one. What's the deal? I mean, I get it. I mean, but I have kids. It's been snowing. Like, I have a job. I mean.

Haven't gotten around to you yet? Yeah, I'm just, I'm, I'm, yeah. It's festive, but, you know, there's an energy shortage. You know, you're just burning those kilobots. I'm thinking of you, man. I'm thinking of you. Sure. I don't.

And next thing, you know, you're going to tell me the earth is round. But, I mean, any day you want to come by and take them down, go ahead. but. Okay, well then, all right, thank you. Have a good night. Have a good night. Have a good night. Awkward.

Wow. Wait, why would you do that? I feel so awkward right now. Why would you get confrontational? Why would I get covered? Wait, no, why him? That's not on him? That's not on me.

Yeah, lunchbox is so awkward. Wait, wait, wait. Next thing you're going to tell me the earth is round. Well, that's a dumb, yeah, that's dumb. But he wasn't confrontational. The guy needs to shut his trap. Well, I know, I get it. But why would you make it?

awkward with your neighbor. Like the guy's already being awkward, yes, but like just let it go and be like, okay, you know, we like, oh, mind your own business. No. He's lucky lunchbox didn't say mind your own business, loser. I was frustrated because I was like, did he really just say that? How did it come up the first time? How did that come up? Well, he was just like, oh, how's it going? You know, and you have a good holiday? And I'm like, yeah. Are you guys just standing out in the yard, grilling? No, no, he was walking by and I don't know, I was picking up toys in the front yard, and he just started a conversation and then he goes into the Christmas light. So I think he stopped to talk just for the Christmas lights.

And that's why I was like, wait a minute. And so that's when I started recording him. And I took a couple steps closer to him so I can make sure you can hear him. Yeah, that stinks. I mean, I would have been upset. Yeah, but. Amy is blaming me in this situation. No, I think that it was awkward and I'm not, I don't support the man behaving that way.

But then also you've like took it to the next level by then. But what did you say? Like, so you're accusing him of actually thinking the earth is round, which it is. No, I'm saying you're telling me obvious things. Like, yes, I'm the only one with the Christmas lights up. It's burning kilowatts. I understand that. I was saying, I was saying, oh, you're Mr. Einstein, basically.

Oh, okay. But that didn't come out. I didn't get that. I was so just caught off guard. Wow, wow, wow. So how are you going to handle this? Because now I would leave him up another month. Oh, you would in spite?

Obviously, he said he walks all around. So, I mean, I'm just going to leave him on. Yeah. And they're on a timer. So I don't yet to turn him on. I mean, I'm an eight on that, whatever that scale is. I'm a challenger. Anything.

Anybody pushes me. You about to get pushed five. If I were lunchbox, they'd stay until next Christmas. Oh, wow. What? I would be so upset if this dude came and said. Your neighbor, though. Like, you're going to see him all, anytime.

So he's passionate about energy. Like, he probably- You did burning the kilowatts, buddy. That's so dumb. So dumb. So what are you going to do? Oh, they're going to stay up. For how long?

I don't know. I mean, until I feel like I'm over this. Valentine's Day. But I am not over this now and I'm not going to be over it tomorrow. I'm not going to be over it in three days. I mean, I am so frustrated. I couldn't believe it. Man, I just don't like it when neighbors don't like me, which has happened before.

And it doesn't feel good. So I just want lunchbox to cultivate good neighborly relations. I mean, do I really want this guy to like me, though? Do you hear him? Yeah, I don't like him. Well, I'm sure he meant well. You think? You think he's really looking out for lunchbox is kilowatt payment?

No. He just is older. No, he's not right. So I sums up with him, right? Like, it's just, he's got issues. Or he just is older. Or he's just older and he fills his void of maybe he's retired of what used to be work with the neighborhood beautification. Yeah, maybe.

And saving energy. I don't believe that. Is there really an energy shortage? I have no idea. Never heard of that. I don't know. I didn't know that. Okay.

Update us, lunchbox. I will. How embarrassing. That's awesome. That might be the best audio I've ever heard. It's the best. bits of the week with Morgan number two. A super hot topic on the show this week.

Amy wants to chaperone her daughter's dance. She talked about it. Then she went back to her daughter and made sure she could do it. It's a whole thing. And if you didn't catch any of those updates and what happened, make sure you go to bobbybones.com to listen and watch the videos because I'm telling y'all, you guys had so many opinions on this topic via social media. So go check that out.

Now, Ray, do you remember any of you? your school dances. Like anything that comes to mind that you loved. I loved school dances. Like that was my time to shine because not only did I get a dance and hang out with my friends, but I got to like doll up. Yeah. So distinctly, what I remember is it was when I was a freshman in high school and freshmen through seniors could go to these dances. I believe seniors were maybe a little too cool, but it was always freshman, sophomore juniors, rocking it. So I remember it was once a month, let's say, but there was this span sophomore year. I don't I don't know if the school, I think we had to baby pay $5 each to go to them.

Oh, you had to pay money to go to them? I believe so. And so the school was making money and stuff. There was in sophomore year, because I remember my mom was so mad because it was almost like the club of college life. We had to dance every other Friday for months. And we would go to all of them. It was awesome.

And I distinctly remember my mom being like, you guys are having another dance? What is this college parties? I'm like, I don't know. It's high school. I love it. But then they never did it. But I think they're making good money is why they kept doing it every. They're like, hey, on Tuesday.

Another dance this Friday. See you guys there. We're like, woo. It was like a way for you guys to get out of the house and somebody was watching the kids is almost too what that would have happened. For the parents. Yeah. Yeah. And so, I mean, yeah, all my friends, it wasn't like you were too cool to go to dances.

So it's like the athletes were there. The nerds, you know, they'd muster up the courage to go there. And all the chicks went. Wait, so were you dressed? up every weekend or you just wore like your street clothes you I believe you had to wear I mean I'm pretty sure it's not like you're wearing dressed pants you would wear jeans maybe you'd wear a little a little bit nicer of a shirt or something sure yeah but I don't believe there was any I think you just maybe had to have clothes towed shoes but yeah sophomore year it was like it was wild as it like they'll

never do that again I'm every other Friday we were banging it like it was Broadway were you were you sneaking some alcohol in that right no I didn't drink in high school you weren't an underage drink No. I'm pretty sure friends probably did, but yeah, I don't, I didn't really drink in high school. When did you have your first, like, drink of alcohol? Maybe junior year during a summer, but I mean, I never, I mean, I had like one beer and we all thought it we were drunk, you know, but I couldn't drink. My parents are super strict. So it's like, I never, I mean, so yeah, maybe junior year once or twice, senior year three times, but I never really drank. Now, did you go to a public school? Yeah. So did you guys like, did you feel like the chaperones, like often, you know, parents, teachers, whoever it was.

We're always a little bit lax. They didn't care. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you could do whatever you wanted. I mean, people were making out. They got on to you if you started like groping.

Yeah. I mean, that was like going to a public school. I feel like that was definitely how it was. Like, they just didn't really care as long as it wasn't like too far over the line. Like I saw so many people making out. Like you see people like sneak away. But like I think they would end up getting caught. I just like I vividly just remember that so many things.

things would happen at our junior and senior proms might have been like our sweetheart dances we did not have all the crazy dances that you had but they had breathalizers they did oh yeah at the front like it was random breathalizers see I think kids would smoke weed and drink a little bit but you could get away with the weed I believe because they couldn't tell you were high but the drunk they would know if you were drunk but I was in part like I had friends but I mean it's not like I couldn't so I was never like hey let's go sneak away and smoke weed I just couldn't it was never an option for me. Well, we never like did it at the dance, but like we, it was always in it like kind of controlled environment after the dance. You had like after the dance parties? Okay. So it, so for,

I went to prom all four years. I had older boyfriends. So I, I experienced different types of proms. Like not only at my school, but at like three other schools. Wow. Yeah, it was an experience. Somebody got around in Kansas. I'm kidding. I just love to go to prom. I love to dress up. Like get, Give me a dress, let me do my hair. I loved it. And so I just happened to date older guys. So freshman year I went to one at a different school. And then sophomore year I went to one at a different school.

And junior, senior, I went to different ones, but also mine. And so what we would have is we'd have prom. You'd go to prom. Well, before, you'd go to dinner and you'd take pictures at a specific spot. Right. Maybe you get a party bus. It's kind of the vibe before prom. Oh, I'm all in with this story.

Let's go. Then you go to prom. okay and you're dancing in school like the actual prom part wasn't actually that fun because then after prom we'd go to after prom at the school which was until 2 a.m. Wow. You'd change out of your outfit. You'd put on like some comfy like gym clothes and you'd be hanging out in the gym with everybody. That's later than some clubs.

Yeah. Literally at our school. Maybe it wasn't two. Maybe it was like one but it was late. And then after prom we'd go to an after party. Wow. And that's typically where everybody would like stay over and like at one of our houses. we'd all hang out together and we'd stay the night.

At your house? No, I don't think we ever did after after prom at my house, but we did it at several of my friend's houses. Where were their parents? Or they were out of town? They didn't care. They were there. It was like the controlled environment, right?

Like as long as nobody left, keys were put up or unless parents were coming to get people, like it was a controlled, like you guys are good. Just be safe. Gotcha. Because we were junior seniors. We weren't stupid, but we, you know, things were already happening at that point.

I would ask to go to those and be like, hey, mom, so they're going to play board games and they said that we're all going to be to bed by like 130. Can I go to this like after party? My mom's like, no. I'm like, but yeah, I think they're just planning to play cards. I don't think anything crazy is going to go on. Your mom so knew what was actually happening. Well, I mean, of course it was more than, but I'm just like, I just, I'm like, mom, I'm not going to like getting hammered. I just want to go play board games with my friends.

Does she never let you go? No, I mean, maybe senior year we got to go to a couple. and I remember it was the craziest parties ever. Like it was like in the first, one of the first parties I went to, I don't even know if I just. Do it.

Say it. They like all the dudes collect, I mean, it's not. They collected money and then the girls fly. Oh my gosh. That was literally one of the first part. Okay, that's not what our parties were like. I mean,

that was one of the first ones I went. What was doing in Michigan? Oh my gosh. It was at some, it's a like person's country. place like out in the middle of nowhere and they collect this pot and then all the girls like flashed I'm like this is what happens at parties no no kids that's not what happens at parties but that the girls they got paid for it was so bad Ray I've never attended a party that that has

ever happened I'm like what do you want $5 for oh my asked my twin brother like you got $5 here's what it's for oh my gosh Ray I mean that's what I remember I it is like it's funny though like like looking back on your life as like a young adult and you're like man I was stupid like just the things that you saw or experienced you're just like I was so stupid but yeah yeah we weren't like me and my brother weren't drunk or drinking so we would go to these parties and then we'd leave sober everybody else would wake up the next day like oh I didn't even get a bed to sleep I slept outside and like crazy stuff like terrible stuff I'm like man you guys made some bad decisions so you guys would just like go home you had a curfew oh yeah and so we'd go rock it

the one or two parties we went, you know, we'd go and then we'd drive home and then everybody like, oh, this happened. Oh, my gosh, a crazy fight. And I'm like, what? Oh, we were, we went home. Did you ever sneak out? Uh, no. No, no, we couldn't. So not only did, like, your parents were strict, but you also, like, obeyed very well. Yeah. Well, I mean, my dad's pretty good. My dad's pretty authoritative. He's like six, six. So you're like, I'm not messing with my dad. Like, he could literally kill somebody. So I was like, it's not really worth it. To be fair, my dad could do that. But the best part about to, so like prom or like our homecoming dances,

those would all surround like, you know, the big things of the week. So if it was homecoming, we had the big football game and homecoming week or whatever. And it was literally all of my guy friends. So what would happen during homecoming week. And I've learned that they don't do this anymore, which makes me kind of sad, but probably a good thing. But we'd teepe each other's houses. That was like the big thing everybody would do homecoming week, right?

That's why we ran out of toilet paper. 20 years later. We would tee each other and I'm telling you it became this thing because my dad hated it. They would teepee your house? Yes. Oh, if I was a dad, I would lose my food. Oh, he did. He did not like it.

Okay. And the guys got to this extent of every year. So he had my sister and I who were in high school at the same time. So double whammy, right? And we had my guy friends, Taylor had her guy friends. And they would come and teepee the house. Not only would they tee-be the house, okay? We also had our pool in the backyard where they put a lobster in it.

Low-key flex. Lobster in the pool. Annoying. Don't know where it went. Still don't know where it went. There was confetti put in the pool at one point. There was whipped cream in the driveway. The confetti is probably bad.

Pops probably had to dish out some cash to get that fixed. Oh, my gosh. But yeah, the lobster was the bad one because it like ate up some of the lining. And my tell was like, okay, this is over. I'm done with your friends. He had to go. He told through you, though, he's like, tell them never again. If they come to my house, I'll shoot them.

Some of my guy friends, I think it was my junior or senior year, they had teepeeed the house. And my dad woke from his sleep and his underwear. Oh, my gosh. And ran outside chasing after them to leave the yard. I bet they were ready for their lives. So many of my friends were, like, my guy friends were scared of my dad. Like now growing up there, they know him and he's super nice. But like, he's a, he's a.

tall dude. Like he could beat you up if he wanted to. And they, he would chase after him. But still to this day, that story gets brought up. But my dad chasing them in his underwear. They were like, what? We're supposed to be able to do this. What happened? But he was just so tired of it. I mean, we got teed so much. Like just between my sister and I, he was like, I'm done. I'm literally done picking up toilet paper out of my trees. And in our trees were so tall that you couldn't even get half the toilet paper out, you know, just like have to stay there forever. You're around toilet paper. Oh, yeah. So that was always the highlight around our dances. That was a good story. Yeah. That was good. My dad's going to listen to this podcast every weekend and he's going to call me after.

He's like, you had to tell that story. And it's going to motivate me to be the exact same dad. When they come to TP, go the Morgan Dad route and chase their asses down. Oh, yeah. In your boxers, mid-sleep. Yep, he was. And it was so bad. I was so embarrassed. I was like, Dad, you could have at least. He's just fell close on. He's like, no, because then I wouldn't have caught him. Oh, he caught him? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, we knew it was our friends, right? Like, it's not like it was some, like, random people. We knew it was our guy friends. Yeah. Somebody would have got that on a TikTok nowadays, but back then there's no video. No, there's no video. There's only picture, like, do you still have a Facebook page? Yeah. Did you ever upload it? It might have been like a girl thing to do, but did you upload, like, all your pictures to Facebook? Yeah. So, like, I'm pretty sure in one of my albums on Facebook.

Facebook, there are photos of like the T-Pied house. Okay. That's like in there. But you would upload everything. I saw this like as a mean that you don't want to go back through your your Facebook album photos because you literally upload every moment of your life in a photo form when we were kids. True. And I did look back at them and they're very sad.

Aw. Like sad in the way that I regret so many things that I wore. Morgan a bunch of dudes. No. but I was a wild child, right? Hey, yo. I was a wild child. Unfortunately, for my parents.

That's why I deactivated mine. Like, you got to move on. You don't want to see pictures of you with, like, other past people you dated. That's like the past. Cool family pictures. Save those. But you don't need to see that.

And I mean, I moved, when I moved away from home, I moved away. So I just didn't really didn't need the Facebook anymore. You did it. You deactivated every memory. But I still have all the stuff

I could type it. And you can find it. Do you think there's anything on there that would totally embarrass you if somebody found? No, but I have like 20 annoying-ass questions like, hey, tell me this, tell me this. Oh my gosh, you live in Nashville. Let me alone. Hit me on Insta.

You're now called Sisson? Yes. Well, crazy for me, Instagram started when I was in college. So I'll be like following somebody on Instagram and I'll be like, who is that? Because I followed him in college. And I'm like, I don't even know you. I haven't spoken to you in like, I don't know, eight years. So yeah, that's my life.

All right. We're talking about this because of Amy wanting to chaperone her daughter's dance. Were your parents? Like, I know you said they were strict. Were they ever, like, heavily involved in activities and stuff in school? No. And better advice for Amy is, I can't really remember if my mom chaperoned. Maybe she did once or twice.

But, Amy, daughter won't even remember. Just do your service or whatever. But I don't know. I don't think either way. The daughter, DeShero doesn't have anything to worry about. Amy doesn't have anything to worry about. And then 20 years you can be like,

Mom, did you chaperone? And people called in and said, you're super busy. You're a fly on the wall. I don't feel like they start to remember until maybe high school. At high school, I do think they start to be like,

okay, my mom was there. My mom saw my first kiss. But like middle school, I know we had dances in middle school, vaguely remember them. Oh, I remember them, but it vivid some stuff, but yeah. Mm-hmm.

So I do think you could chaperone, but those dances are dope. That's where it's to share it, enjoy it, girl. Because those are your first kisses, your first hugs. Mm-hmm. Your first hugs? Right? I don't know. You never been hugged by, like, your parent in your life?

No, no, no. Like when you finish a dance and you, like, hug a girl. Oh, you mean that a love hug. Yeah, like a love hug. But, yeah, all those, yeah, those are crazy memories. Those dances. Wait, did you have your first kiss? out of dance.

For sure. Probably. Really? I had mine in the, in the driveway of my house. Hey, oh, dad's gonna jump out again in his underwear.

Here he comes. He's so gonna kill me for that. Yeah. The old pull up after a date or whatever and you're just sitting in the parking lot. You're like, we got to do this fast because they're gonna know we're kissing. Yeah,

I mean, it was like a peg, but I was, I was in like sixth grade. It was like my first boyfriend. And he, we didn't, he didn't drive me.

home, but we had walked home because we lived in the same neighborhood, and we were just walking in the neighborhood. I think he might have been skateboarding. I don't know. He went with the walking skateboard kiss. Yeah, and he gets me in the driveway before he left, and I was like, oh, my God. Epic. I mean, I still remember it.

Dang, dating a skater boy? Skater boy. Okay, Averill. I was Averill. You don't remember yours? Like, you don't have... I mean, it happened young. I mean, I was always kissing girls.

So strict life, no alcohol, but kissing, on the other hand, Ray was always doing. I mean, yeah, I don't know. This is the life I lived. I don't know. No, my mom babysat a bunch of kids, so we always had girls over at the house. So you're saying you would kiss some of the people that your mom was babysitting? Yeah, they're all, we're all the same age. Oh, man.

And my mom, like, did after school program. She'd, like, do arts and crafts for, like, 25 kids. So it was like... When was your first girlfriend? Middle school. Yeah. Or, I mean, no, like fourth grade. I was dating girls.

Yeah, well, I feel like The only time I actually remember was like 6th grade But I remember crushes And maybe that's what they're more called Crushes happen at birth, girl I know, I mean, well, like, You're on the playground for the first time You're like, I'm crushing on everybody

Because I don't know what this feels like I know, it's pretty cool Yeah But yeah, uh, yeah, dating like 4th, 5th grade I remember we went on like some school trip And I'd just think we had a girlfriend then So yeah Dang.

Yeah You were always you were always a player No, no, no, not a play. Not a play. Okay, what's another? But I think the one girl, the one girl complained, she was like, you never kissed me. And I was like, you're dumped. And I dumped her on the spot.

Ruthless, right? Yeah. She said I never kissed her. I was like, hey, you're dumped then. You dumped her for saying that you never kissed her. Kid relationships are about as dumb as adult relationship breakups, okay? We're not wrong. I'm just picturing, though, this little girl just being like, you never kissed me.

And you're like, oh, cool. dumped. No, I dumped her on the spot. She came into class and she's like, you just never kissed me. And I'm like, well, then I don't, you're dumped. I don't know if that really made sense, but I just dumped her. And then she's like cried and stuff, really day like a week. Oh, Stasheera, you are in for some middle school elementary, whatever you're in. Romance. Get ready. Stashira. Gosh. Get ready, Amy. That's so crazy to look back on. All right. Yeah, sorry. I mean, dang, we just went down memory laying, girl. I love it, though. You got, you got to, you got to remember.

the childhood things. Otherwise, you'll forget him. Oh, no, no. I always, like, I'm always, yeah, I'll always think back. I don't like, I like to move forward, but I always remember stuff that happened. I'm like, oh my gosh, that was fun. Oh, remember that time in Aruba? I always think about fun stuff. Well, there you go. Hey, life tip

from Ray. Always remember stuff. Hey, oh. You guys can hear it right now, Amy, talking about wanting to chaperone her daughter's dance and, of course, how her daughter responded to that. And what's going down now? Number two, Amy, you and your husband are now, quote, those parents.

Yes. Doing what? So my daughter is going to her first dance ever. She's in the eighth grade. There was a seventh grade dance normally, but it got canceled last year because of COVID. So she missed out on that experience. She's super excited. She's asked me to take her shopping for a dress.

She's asking me, I don't know what to expect at a first dance. And I was like, well, guess what? Actually, I haven't told her this part yet. Oh, no. But we have inquired about what we need to do to be a chaperone. Oh, no. Lamo! Is it, though?

Here's what I would say. To me, it seems exciting. Like, if there has to be parents there, it might as well be us. No. As a kid, I wouldn't have wanted my parents there. And I wasn't up to no good, but I would have felt like they were always watching and that was going to put pressure on me. But here's what I would say.

If the school would have called you and said, would you chaperone? I think it would have been fine to be like, yes, we'd be happy to be there. You need people where they're there. The fact that you called and said, hey. Yeah, like, I don't even know. Oh, no, that's the part. I don't even know if we've been accepted or what the process is. We've just inquired about it.

What do you think she's going to say when you tell her this? I don't know. I don't know. Do you think the reaction? I guess I could ask her and report back. Do you think the reaction will be good or bad when you say, hey, we're going to chaperone your first ever dance where you may be dancing with a boy for the first time.

I don't think it will be bad, but she'll be like, please don't come. That's bad. I would say that's bad. Or she might be like, oh, cool. I don't know, actually. Now that I really think about it, because she doesn't have any prior dance experience, I could just tell her, no, this is customary. So here's in her mind, if she's just planning on dancing with her friends,

she'll probably think it's okay if you guys come. But if she really wanted to dance with a boy for the first time. She's not into boys. She has crushes. Yeah, she's a celebrity crush on her lock screen. That's my point. But how do you know she doesn't have a crush on a boy at school? Well, I know there was this one boy.

Okay, so that's my point. She will not like it as much if she had a hope to dance with a boy. She won't care if she was just going to dance with her girlfriend. Well, she can absolutely dance with a boy. They just has to leave room for the whole host. That's where you come in, Amy. Exactly. You're going to dance in the middle of them with your arms out, holding them on each side.

Yeah. You're going to, like, you get in between two walls and spread. That's Amy with a two. Okay, let us know what she says. Okay. Any chance she's listening to this now? No. Zero. Already in school?

She leaves for school at $6.50. Okay. She can be listening right now. How long took her to get to school? Oh, she's not because they don't listen. She rides as a good. Oh, she just doesn't listen. Yeah, like, she doesn't listen. Even if it's on, she's got, like, she'll have her earbuds in. She's not interested in our show. How do you think she's going to react? Yes or good or bad, Eddie? She's going to hate it.

She's going to hate it. Lunchbox? Terrible. I mean, Amy, you're becoming the... Helicopter parent. Ray? Yeah, it's a really bad decision. I think I'm not trying to be helicopter. I'm trying to be supportive. Yeah, it's bad. My parents never were chaperones. And it's okay if they need chaperones for a parent to step in and be a chaperone as needed. You're volunteering. Because I thought that's what parents did.

No. I did not know that I wasn't going to have anybody on my side here. Okay, let's go to someone who may support you. Scoo, Steve. Yeah, I was thinking the whole time, I was like, I love my kids so much and I want to be there for them as well. and I'd love to be a chaperone for the first dance. And I think even my mom was there too when I was a kid, it wouldn't bother me. You have a teammate. So I'm with you, Amy.

Thank you. Okay. Let's stop this. If anyone wants to call us and they have something they want to add, we welcome it. 877-77 Bobby. That's our phone number. We're not hating on you. We're just picturing ourselves as kids and our parents trying to come to an event.

Okay. I know. I know. That's why I said I was that kid and I have that feeling obviously because I'm like, oh, no, I'm that parent. But now I get it. No one's questioning your love for your daughter, right, guys? There's no question about that at all. None.

Plus, we're fun and we dance. Your parents are never as fun as they think they are. You are fun. I don't know. I'm pretty fun. Okay, here we go. This is Amy talking to her daughter. Do you even know what chaperoning means?

I've seen chaperone on a TV show. Okay, and it looks cool, right? I mean, they don't look happy. Okay. Who doesn't look happy? The kids are the parents? The kids. She was referring to the kids not happy about their parents being there.

Turns out your daughter already knew about this because she heard it on the show. Well, learn that right after while we were recording. Do you want us to come or no? Well, when I heard about it, I was mad because I was the last one to know you were doing it. Who did you hear about it from? From people in school. Kids, yes. Okay, I'm sorry about that.

Yeah. I definitely had to ask for forgiveness and say sorry. Because normally anything that's about them, I get their permission to talk about it, but this wasn't necessarily about her. It was about me chaperoning her dance. Still about her.

I know, I know. I could see how I just didn't expect to get back to her in any way. So it's fine. If they need volunteers, we'll do parking lot stuff so we won't be inside. I don't really care. So you're fine with it? Yeah. So if we're there, you'll dance in front of us?

Yes. Will you be fine if we start dancing? No. This is the first I've heard about the parking lot stuff, though. Yeah, well, I think I mentioned to you yesterday that I saw an email that said something like they need escorts out there. I think that's great. I would have no problem with you being a parking lot chaperone.

Okay. Chaperone, that's accurate is all day long to come driving in there. But did you hear she said we could come into the dance? You said, are you cool with it? Not would you prefer it. Yeah. Uh-huh. And she said yes. She said that once the kids, like obviously the clip, we, you know, we had a longer conversation.

But she said that when the kids first started telling her, she said she goes, I was in denial. She's like, I thought no way my parents would do this to me. She goes, but then I accepted it. So that means she's cool with it, not that she prefers it. Right. Yeah. So, I mean, we're going to try to. Did you guys get an email back saying they would like for you to work?

I don't know yet. After all this, like, who knows, they're probably going to be like... We're good, lady. We're good. We don't need y'all there. Good lady. Yeah.

Here's my announcement that today I am announcing my kids' book, Stanley the dog in his first day of school. It is available now for pre-order, and we actually have the date on when it comes out, which is June 14th. And you might ask yourself, and you can ask me this too, why would you ever pre-order something? Why would you ever pre-order something? No idea. Sounds dumb. Be honest with you. I never pre-order stuff. However, what I've been able to do through the publisher is, if you pre-order it, I can sign it and get you the book. Otherwise, I will not be able to. So, and I don't even know if you want a signature

sure or not. But you can go to bobbybones.com. Morgan, it's up, right? It's up. Does it have the price on there? It should be below $20. Yes. Let me click through the link. And I'll read you what the book's about because I wanted to write a book. One, four kids because Eddie and I did the Raging Kitty gets album and so many parents have just been like, hey, that was like wonderful messages. You didn't talk down to our kids. So I wanted to do a kid's book. I just wanted to do with animals. And any money that we make in the first year of the book were donating to the animal shelter that we got L or from. And then I wanted it to be about not fitting in and how to fit in. Like it's little parts of my life all through this. And so here's what it says. They wrote this somewhere.

And I can, it says, okay, true Stanley, there are plenty. Let's see. They sent me like 10 paragraphs. Morgan, you tell me the price and I will read you this when I find it. It's 1899. So basically $19. Okay. I said I need this be less than $20. Nice. And so they're going to do that. Okay, here we go. Okay, okay, I got it. Stanley, the dog, the first day of school, follows the irrepressible antics of Stanley, who is anxious about his first day of school.

With his stomach turning into tighter knots by the minute, Stanley's worried whether a bulldog like him will ever fit in with the other pups at school. He's never had to make new friends before, but when disaster strikes, Stanley realizes all he needs to do is be himself to save the day. I love that. There you have it.

These books take forever, by the way. I finished this book over a year ago. I know it. Because I didn't draw. Oh, yeah. Somebody has to do that. An illustrator has to draw, and then you have to okay every image. And then also illustrator, I got COVID at some point.

Okay. That makes sense. Shut it down for a bit. So, okay, Bobbybones.com, if you want to pre-order, would love it. I'll sign it if you pre-order it. Very excited about this. And I believe that's it for that part. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

All right, that was a fun one, Ray. Thanks for hanging out with me. I mean, always a good time to hear Ray's life growing up. Did not anticipate that you had a strict life growing up, though. That was the one I was not ready for. There you go. Things I never expect to come out of very often do, though. You need to be a therapist.

I mean, we dug deep for that one. We got it out. I always get the guys on here to talk about all of the things that have happened in their life because I don't also feel like guys get a chance to talk about that stuff very often either, though. Don't. We have all these bottled up emotions. You do. And you don't, you know, you don't get to discover some inner child moments.

And I think it's so fun to hear you guys talk about it and recall memories. You have like Steve on here for two hours. Lunch probably comes on here for four hours. I mean, good. Gosh, these guys have got stuff to say people. Talk about it with your wives and never bottle stuff up. Because some of these dudes on this show have been bottling stuff up for years. Wait, Ray, do you say you don't bottle stuff up?

I don't think I do. Do you talk about everything with your wife? For the most part. You guys have some pretty good communication? Yeah. Well, that's good. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, there's really no reason to bottle stuff up.

Then it's just, like, awkward. You're like, oh, does she know I'm hiding something? Are you one of those guys in the relationship that just like, it comes out? It just always comes out, even if it's not the right time. It's just there. I mean, honestly, I think usually we both at the same time have a talk and then it's just over. We don't let it linger. And then, like, 30 minutes later, really, sorry about that.

Sorry, sorry. So no, no, no, I'm not on this earth to argue. You know what? I think that's the wisest thing you've ever said. Every night we argue about vaccines and Republican and Democrat every night. Are you being sarcastic? I'm kidding. I genuinely think you saying I'm not on this earth to argue is genuinely the wisest thing you've ever said. Bam.

I'm pretty impressed right now, Ray. We might need to put that on a rain bay design shirt. Oh, boy. Okay. Now the moment's past. Everything goes back to money. That's true. That's true. I just monetized it.

Oh, Ray. All right. On that wise note, Ray, let the people know where they can hear you and where they can find you. Yeah, sore losers' podcasts would love if you guys give it to listen. Males, females, kids, adults. Probably be over 12, though. I think so. But yeah, listen there, sore losers podcast, wherever you listen to your stuff.

And then also Sisson Ray Mundo. You can find me on instant Twitter. Yeah, he'll randomly post things. It's not very often, but you randomly post. Thank you. I mean, I don't do it for a job, but you do. I know. But it's like silence for like two weeks and then I don't know where it's like,

bam, bam, bam. I only do it to brag. Like if I don't have anything going on that I got to brag about, I'm like, nope, I'm going to go completely silent right now. But then if I'm in Aruba, boom, I'm bragging. Mexico, brag city. Well, I am most of the time you're sleeping. Get ready for some bragging.

Oh, man. And I am at Webgirl Morgan on all the things. Of course, make sure you check out Bobbybones.com for videos, photos, all the good stuff. from this week and at Bobby Bone Show our social accounts. Ray, thanks again. Let's give us out on a high note. You know what that means. Yeah.
