And I thank y'all for hanging out with me on a weekend. It's so much fun to see you guys posting about this podcast and what all you guys love to hear because we go on random tangents. I do. And whoever I bring on typically does with me, it's just kind of the thing of the best bits. But if this is your first time listening to the podcast,

then what I normally do is I take the best seven segments from the show and I kind of break them down. And so you make sure you're caught up on the show of everything big that happened. And along the way, I bring somebody with me. And we either talk about things related to those segments or things totally off topic. You never know what you're going to get. Right, Mike? You never know. Exactly.

And Mike D. Yeah, that's who that was, is hanging out with me this weekend. We got a lot to catch up on see what Mike has been up to in his life. We've got to talk about. Yes, all the things. So many things to talk about. So let's just get it going. Coming in hot at number seven, we talked this week about song lyrics.

We'd get tattooed on our bodies. Now, Mike, I'm not a huge tattoo person. I have no tattoos. Zero tattoos. Zero. Like, I am as pure on my body as I could possibly be. Besides the piercing. Ear piercing, belly button piercing.

Is it a fear of getting the tattoo or you don't have anything they would want permanently on your body? Both. Hate needles. So, like, the idea of, like, enjoying a tattoo sounds miserable to me. and also I have nothing that I care about enough to get tattooed on my body. I will say after getting my first and only tattoo, you realize immediately after like how permanent it is. Like it kind of sends in with you like,

oh, I'm glad I really was excited about what I got and can live with this forever because it's going to be there. And now that's, is that the tattoo that's on your arm? Yeah. So inside my forearm, I have it's a owl on top of a bear with ram horns.

And it's from my favorite band, Lamaria. They were my favorite band during a very formative part of my life. So I felt like it represented me kind of becoming an adult and the music I listened to during that time. So I wanted to represent that and get that tattooed on my body. I mean, I love it. It's a really cool looking tattoo and very detailed. Yeah. And I think the other thing about it is people just see it and automatically ask me about it because it is kind of weird. But for me, it's just having that personal moment in my life that I wanted to represent and I knew that band was that for me and I could live with that for the rest of my life even if they make terrible music from here on out

always will remember like that part of my life so it's good with me and how old were you when you got that tattoo I think I was like 26 27 and I'd wanted one like right when I was 18 but I'm glad I decided to wait because I probably would have had something that I would not be happy with that got one at 18. Did you, like, growing up in your household, like, for my parents, like, tattoos and piercings were, like, just not something you're supposed to get. Yeah, the thing that my dad told me is that if I ever got a tattoo, he would slice it off with a knife.

So he was hardcore about us not getting tattoos. And I think about it, my brother and my older sister all got tattoos. They kept them secret for so long. So by the time it came to me, they were fine with it. They're like, all right, you got tattoos. It doesn't matter anymore. And you're the youngest. Right? So that makes sense. By you, it was lenient. Yeah, but they had to hide their tattoos for that reason.

So they had gotten them before they were 18 or right at 18, kind of around there? Like around there. And then they just hit them and then eventually just like, all right, yeah, we have tattoos now. It came out. And I feel like that was a thing growing up because, yeah, anytime like I even, if somebody even had a tattoo, my mom's like, see, you don't want a tattoo. You don't know what that's going to be like later. And I'm like, you know, you're right. You're not wrong. But like, I want to rebel. Yeah. And I think that's why you get some. that even if it's just at that point it meets something to you. Yes. And it also has to look cool. Yeah, it has to be both. I could get something symbolic that's, you know, doesn't look cool.

But as long as it kind of looks cool too. Yes, exactly. Well, and I think, too, they're more important and more creative to you when they mean something, right, instead of just something. But some people see it as an outlet to be creative with their body. I've seen that. And they're like tattooed all the way up and down. And I'm like, dang, all I see when I see that many tattoos is,

a whole lot of needles. Like, that looks painful. Yeah, it's just skin though. Like, it's not that big of a deal when you think about it. It just becomes a part of you and I like it. I know. And it's funny, too, I never, because I was never allowed to get tattoos and because I never did, I was like, I don't know that I'll ever date anybody with like a lot of tattoos.

That just may not be my thing because I never got into that passion, right? And yet every time I date a guy, they have tattoos. My boyfriend currently has a few tattoos and plans to get more. And I'm like, we need to talk about this. And I'm like, look, you can do the arms. I have a thing against leg tattoos. Okay. I don't, it never like, not like it bothers me if other people get them.

But like if I'm going to date somebody, I don't like like like down the legs or like. All just like, like if you can see it when they have shorts on or like on their calf. I don't know. See, that's weird because the one, I'm actually thinking about getting another tattoo. And I want to get it like right. at the line of like, because I run a lot. So I wanted to get like something to represent that and like right at the line where my shorts me. I've seen somebody have that before and I think that looks cool.

So that's actually what I'm thinking about getting right now. Here I am telling you. You're not like that like that. But if somebody was to come into this studio right now and say, hey, you have to get a tattoo. It will be painless, but you have to get a tattoo that you live with for the rest of your life. What would you get right now? I mean, I think it would be like my dog's like paw print, like a teeny tiny paw print. Yeah, like on the wrist?

Yeah, maybe like on my wrist or like behind my ear. somewhere in that leak you probably would i would know it's there or like one of those little invisible ones don't they have the invisible i don't know how long those last but yeah i think they do something like that i don't know i'm just so like i'm also one of those people that's just so worried that like when i get older it's just not going to look the same yeah because i don't know what i'm going to look like when i try to think that far ahead i know it's like my anxiety talking about but yeah it's a it's a weird thing i never like thought that was a big deal but then it as I got older, I didn't, I just wasn't attracted to it, but I did date a guy who had like

one of the kind of thigh tattoos that you're talking about that was like kind of small, kind of like right at that short line. And it was not bad. I didn't mind it. It's the ones where they're like, their legs are comforted in tattoos. And I'm like, wait, where your legs go. It's like camouflage kind of right. You can't see, you can't see anything. But again, I know that's like certain things for certain people. It's just not my avenue of creativity. Mine's more like drawing on a board or something. But we did talk on the show this week.

You know, some people shared the song lyrics. They'd get tattooed. And when I was writing the blog, I had ever, I always have people share, like everybody on the show share their thing that they want, they would share if they got a chance to say it, right? And I asked you. And when I got your text about the song lyrics, you were like, what is

this line? I laughed so hard. I was like, this is so my Yeah. So tell everybody what you would get tattooed if it were song lyrics. So my favorite artist ever is Post Malone. And I discovered his music pretty early on. And there was a song he had at the very end of his album. And the thing, a lot of people think about Post Malone is, you know, the big hip hop songs. But he has this song at the very end of his first album. It's acoustic. It's called Feeling Whitney. And I remember the first time I heard that song, it hit me and resonated with me so much emotionally. I was kind of in a hard part of my life when I was listening and really got into Post Malone. And I was alone and this song kind of represented and I've never really identified with the song so well because it's about him as a teenager moving out to L.A. being kind of lonely, getting into some bad situations and just on the inside feeling sad but on the outside kind of presenting this thing of like, oh, I'm this rapper guy who has to have this hard exterior. But that song was about that and there was a line in there that said, I was feeling Whitney, me and my homie sipped Houston, which is a

reference to Whitney Houston, a reference to the drink lean, you know, it was big in the actual like Houston rap scene. But it was such a unique line and kind of represented everything with that emotion of being in a dark place, but, you know, being able to come out of it that I knew if I ever had song lyrics tattooed on my body, that's what I would want. And to the point to where if he ever came into this studio did an interview, I would ask him to write that on a piece of paper and get that tattooed. That would be cool. That would be even like more emphasis. on his song lyric has been writing it. Yeah, I think that's the only way I would get that tattooed

because I think that's the way it would mean the most to me and also I could share that story with him of how much that song means to me. That's so cool and it probably would mean a lot to him because it's not a song, probably a lot of his fans really pay attention to, right? No, probably not his persona per se. And he doesn't really play it live anymore so unless you were in early, you probably don't really listen to that song.

Now, okay, so it's him, saying I was feeling like Whitney Houston while I was sipping on a specific drink. Yeah. Yeah. Basically is the representative. Yeah. What the line means? Okay. And so what is Houston? What kind of drink is that? It's lean. So it's like a cough syrup mixed with like alcohol. What? Yeah. Wait. Well, this is a thing. It's not a good thing to be drinking. This was a thing? Yeah. This was a thing. Lean. What? I am so mind-blowned right now that people drink. Golf syrup and alcohol Yeah, a little Wayne was big into it. It was big on the rap scene for a while.

People still drink it, but it was a thing. God, that does not sound like it is not dangerous at all. Like at all. Oh my gosh. Okay. Yeah, when you texted me that, I was like, this is such a Mike D song lyric to get tattooed. And I, like, because of the posty side, but even cooler not that you shared why that song is so important to you.

Yeah, and I think it'd be a weird line to have on you and people would be like, what does that even mean? So I think. It gives you a story. Yeah, it's the ability to tell a story. Yeah, and you're telling your story through other people's means of creative outlets, I guess you could say. Like different, just like your band tattoo. Yeah.

It's like that was their creative logo and it became something to you and your own story. Yeah. See, they're really cool. Yeah. I wish I could get into them. I wish I could get into tattoos. I don't like, if I, if I ever were to get one and I, somebody would have to like hold me down and be like, you're going to die if this doesn't happen. Again, just.

terrified of needles. But it would be Eli Young Band, even if it breaks your heart. That song, Eli Young Band, just growing up, was really big for me. You know, they were kind of referred to as like a Texas country band. That's what I knew them, whereas. Yeah, they weren't like a huge artist in the country music in general genre, right? People knew them, but they were really Texas, Midwest. A lot of people loved them.

They toured there, at least like growing up. Now they're all over the place. but that song like I mean all of their songs always hit really well for me but that one did because I was at a point in my life where I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life and I'm like what am I going to do what it what's going to happen and you feel really broken in that space right like you're just very lost in what is going to happen in your life and what that looks like and I just remember playing this Eli Young band song on repeat and it was like keep dreaming even if it breaks your heart and I was like I am heartbroken right now and I'm trying to dream But then, like, over time, it just became more and more important to me to be like, okay, like, this is going to be hard. But you got to keep doing it. So, like, that song lyric always stood out to me as one that would be really cool for something. I don't know that, like, anything's really cool. I can get tattooed to my body.

Would you say that's one of any, like, your most played songs of all time? It's definitely up there. That, well, and that song is really good. But, gosh, I, why can I not think of their song? The other Eli Young Band song that is huge. crazy girl. That's the other. Those two songs, yes, between those two, from them, 100%.

If you added it, probably to like my top 25 most played songs of all time, would be those two. Yeah, I love Deli Young Man. I still do. They put out a new song and I'm like, I'm here. I'm still their number one fan, always. Oh, man. Well, this was a fun bit to hear everybody share the song lyrics.

They'd get tattooed because, you know, Bobby, Amy, Eddie, they were all very personal and emotional to them, but then you had Lunchbox and Ray, who knows what they were even thinking with the tattoos they chose. So listen to this. Number seven. If you had to get a song lyric tattooed on you, what song lyric would you get tattooed

on you? Okay? Don't say none, because they're like, you have to where you put a gun to your head. Oh, okay. It's a game. What song lyric do you get tattooed on you, Amy? I get George straight, a love without end, comma. Amen. That's pretty good. Yeah, that's good.

Where do you put it? Don't know yet. You're forcing me with a gun. Now I got another gun to the other side of your head. Where do you put it? Wow, wow, wow. Okay, then I put it up my forearm maybe in like a single, what do they call it? The new way everyone's doing it, the really thin single needle.

That's what I got. Like real thin, right? Real thin. Mine, and I didn't have one that comes to me right now, but when I was growing up until I was like 26 or 27, and I still love the Counting Crows, but I always identified with this line because I always thought, man, when I watch TV or listen to the radio,

like I want to hear me. Like, I want to make it, so if I'm just walking by, a best buy, I want to see me on the TV. And there's a line in Mr. Jones when he says, when I look at the television, I want to see me,

staring right back at me. And my whole life, I was like, that's what I want. And so as kind of an homage to my, younger driven self, I would probably get that written as well. Like, where? Well, that's the problem.

I was gonna put like the back of the forearm or like up near the collarbone, like a little block here. Oh, that's cool. Like underneath my collarbone right there. You can't do that. Why not? Okay, lower back, tramp stand. There you go. Here is mine right here.

There you go. That's cool because you've done it. Eddie? Mine just came to me recently. I've never thought about this, but when the questions out, I'm like, this is easy. West Virginia down in Tennessee, George Strait. I actually walked it with my own feet, so why not?

You got two George Straits, one counting crows. You want to know where I'd put it? Where? On my feet. Oh, that would hurt, though. They say that's one of the most painful places to get one. The top or the bottom? The bottom of my feet.

Oh, no way. Lunchbox? It's easy, guys. When this question is asked, the first thing that pops in my head, and this is going to go on my left peck of my chest, and it is going to be, I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt. so sexy it hurts all of that

right and where do you write that right on my left pack because when my shirt is off why the left I don't know just I'm right handed so on my left side gets probably you know neglected a little bit so give it some love Ramundo you Drake said it best you only live once

because I mean it's pretty realistic you really only live once you're right yolo yeah yellow back shoulder blades the way across. All right, you can put your answer up on our Facebook page. We'll ask that question. Just go follow the Bobby Bone show. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

We had a special guest on the show this week. It was Scotty McCreary. He came on to talk about his new album. He performed his song, Damn Strait, about George Strait. And it was just an awesome interview to hear him talk. Plus, he also shared the person that he really wants to meet. And if you know Scotty and him being from North Carolina and the huge sports fan he is, it makes sense who he really wants to meet.

And I want to see this happen for him after we watched him geek out. So listen right now. Here is Scottie, his interview and his performance. So good. Number six. The Friday morning conversation with Scotty McCreary. Scottie, what's up, buddy? Chillin, man.

How you doing? I'm doing pretty good. I was looking at this new album came out today called Same Truck. I didn't know really what the album title meant, but then I read about it. about it and it's basically kind of an ode to your truck that you've had for the past 10 years? So the conversation started there when we started the song because I had my same truck, our name's Loretta. I'm a driver to hear the wheels fall off and love that truck. But then the song kind of evolved into just talking about how, man, we're on the same team here

and the same boat. We're, you know, spilled each other up instead of tear each other down. And then we turned into a country song with dirt roads and tobacco fields and all that good stuff. This truck, though, was it the truck that you won on American Idol? It was. And me and Lauren really screwed that up for everybody else after us because they told us, they said, hey, any Ford, any option. And, like, Lauren got this super cool Shelby. I got my truck with every option possible.

And I think Ford was kind of like, oh, wait a second. And I think next year it was just like Ford Focus. Scotty McCreary is here. then that truck, you're still driving it. Is that your main truck? It is my main truck. I've spilled a few smoothies in it recently, so it's starting to smell a little blueberry-like,

but it's awesome. She's great. At what point do you get one of these fancy trucks? Because you're a big famous country star now. Like when do you get one of these big raptors? They tried to sell me on like a big raptor too. Like back then, I don't know, man. I just have always wanted an F-150.

My first car was really, run down just a little bit of paint still left on it, four runner. And I just wanted, I've always wanted the truck. So I think I'll stick with her. Your next single is called Damstrait, which is reference to George Strait. Was there an issue about putting the D word in a song title?

I don't think 17-year-old Scotty would have done that. Yeah. But, you know, I think we've been doing it 10 years now, and it's a dang good song, man. I'm pretty proud to put my name on. I had a freak out moment when I heard it, and I was like, oh my gosh, this is cool. So they sing you the song. Trent Tomlinson and Jim Collins wrote the song.

When you get this song, because you write so many of your own songs. Yeah. Does it have to be extra, extra good for you to cut a song that you didn't write? It's not that it has to be extra, extra good. It's that it has to like, I've got to feel it in my core. Like, I got to believe it, I got to feel it. And I was actually, I was down on the coast preparing for a hurricane by myself, like, putting sandbags out and stuff. And the song came through on my phone from the label.

And they said, hey, take a look. Take a listen. I said, okay, I'll just put it on while I'm working. And I just kind of had to stop. And I was like, oh, my gosh. Like, this is a cool song. So I didn't want to, I was like, was my crazy? So I texted my wife.

I was like, what do you think? Texted my boys. What do you think? And they all kind of had that same mini freak out. And I'm a massive George Strait fan. It was my first concert, Riva. Leanne Walmac were there. Like, it was a good first dive into country music.

So, yeah, it's cool. Oh, we play a little bit here. You guys mind playing a little verse and chorus? Yeah, yeah. This is actually, because the album's out today. It's called Same Truck. Track one is Same Truck. Scottie wrote it.

Track two is U-Time, which we know. Scotty wrote that one. It matters to her. Track three, Scotty wrote that one. But the first track that you didn't write, it's this one because you love it so much. Yeah, man. I respect that.

All right, here is Scotty McCreary. What are you drinking, by the way? What's in the cup? A little throat coat. this morning. Yeah? Three shows and we've been

a lot of album promo recently so. Oh, so you kind of lost part of it. Oh, we're here, baby. Well, why don't we not sing? Why don't we sing it for you? You just keep lying.

Everybody wants to. I have no idea. All right. Awesome. Nobody in his right mind would have left her. That was her favorite song. She sang along

every time it came on. First time we danced. It was to Marina Delray, and I fell right there and then. I didn't want that song to end. Baby blue was the color of her eyes. I can still see them in my mind. Probably will for the rest of my life. Damn straight, you're killing me, man.

You know I've always been your biggest fan. I can't even listen Because I'll get to missing her Then the hurt gets worse Damn straight I used to love your songs But now every time that one comes on My heart gets broken half

But do I wish I could get her back Damn straight Nice So good Yeah Scotty tonight is in Rosemite Illinois Tomorrow in Milwaukee, Wisconsin You keep playing I mean I'm trying to give the guy

verse and chorus here over on his voice. What else? Like what life to me looks, when I look at you, it looks like you live a very balanced life. Like you've been able to find wife, dog, music. Am I right about that? It's like the most important thing to me is that balance. I think just especially the way I got started and it was so crazy. I mean, like, just everything at once, I think I realized,

man, I got to find some normalcy here. And that's why even like back in the day, we had a tour with Brad Paisley on Thursday through Saturday and Monday through Wednesday. I was back at Garner High School playing baseball just so I could have that balance. Because, I mean, this is just a crazy world we live in and crazy job. It's an amazing job. But I think I would go a little nutty if it was just that every day, you know. My wife is awesome. She's the rock of our family.

And she's just the coolest. Like, she's so cool. And lucky to find her. You're playing baseball in high school while you. you were touring with Paisley. Did the kids treat you different? Oh, the other team? I got razzed non-stop, man.

I mean, they were like singing to me, stick to singing. There was one game, too. We were playing East Wake. I was pitching. And, I mean, I'm like, have made my first record actively on tour. And I'm pitching, and I get a line drive back to the throat. I mean, just, I've never been hitting the throat before in my life on the pitcher's mound. And, of course, now I do.

And you can hear the whole stadium just, And the umpires came out They had a like a emt come out And I was just rubbing And I did like a sing like one line It's like oh I'm good guys Let's go let's go let's go Well people don't know Scottie was a soprano

Until that incident Oh yes Yeah now that's that's what happened Crazy how life changes like that man And everybody that yells stick to singing You did Yeah you showed them Stick to singing

And he goes okay You got it I definitely well How good is it to be back out on the road Playing shows Have no idea You haven't done a show? No

No. You have no idea how much. I was going to say, because I have a whole list of shows that he's supposed to have done. I haven't shown up this thing. No. It's been awesome. Fans have been great. It took a little while to get the C-Legs again.

I mean, I was very nervous, like sheets of paper on the floor with, like, lyrics and chords. It was like I had a project do or something, but it was, we made it through that, and now it just feels like home again. And it's been awesome. You have a song on your record that you wrote. It's called Carolina to me. Yeah. And so, you know, I think you're one of the few that still making it, but have decided you can make it while mostly living somewhere else and not Nashville.

You know, it was, I feel like if I could do it, those first few years, I can do it now because, like, the pandemic taught us we had to learn how to work from home and stuff. So now I used to have to block out times. Like, I'm coming to Nashville for a week. I'm riding twice a day every day for like a little boot camp. And now it's like, hey, I'm on a Tuesday. at home. I was going to mow the grass, but no, we're going to write a song, and then I'll do that later, and hop on Zoom. Yeah, Carolina's just home for me. My roots are so deep. I always thought

eventually I'd make it here and be, you know, settle down here, but my roots are too deep, I think, down there. Are you a NC State guy? Unfortunately. Oh, man, we had a, yeah. Well, listen, yeah, you guys beat as baseball sucked, But I was doing a show in Durham. And so I get up on stage and the worst mistake that I can make, especially if I'm doing a stand-up show, is to acknowledge a sports team in the crowd because then everybody else starts to scream.

And I'm in Durham and there's North Carolina, there's obviously Duke. And I say, hey, are most of you guys, North Carolina people? And they go, ah! And then I hear booze. And I'm like, who's booing? They're like, Duke, ah. But there's like one little contingent of. really rowdy, like in a corner, like 11 people that somehow are more obnoxious than the rest.

And I was like, where are you guys from? They're like, we're from NC State. I was like, all right. That's us, man. That's all we got to be rowdy, man. We've been put through the ringer my entire life. I don't know why I ended up there. My dad was born in Puerto Rico, grew up in Maine, and then he decided, I'm just going to go to

NC State for college. It's been quite torturous. I'll be honest. Like we always get right there And then we find just the craziest way is to lose But like in the NCAA tournament for basketball You always see NC State winning it Because of Jimmy V and the last second shot

So it's like we always see ourselves winning Back in the day Yeah But we just can't do it anymore Are you obviously a Patriots fan Are you still a Tom Brady guy? Huge Even though he's in Tampa

It's like a huge like divisive thing In the Patriots community But my thing is I did not root for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at all. If they make a sack, you know, great. If they, you know, make an interception or run the ball and great. But if Tommy, if Tommy Brady throws a touchdown and it's a dime, I'm going to get excited for that. That's my guy. When they play this season? Patriots or the T, or the box. Oh, they're going to play each other. Oh, they are playing each other. In New England. I'll think I might, like, actually shed a tear that day.

Or implode. His organs just cannot take it. I still have a picture of him in my apartment. Yeah, he's the ghost. What? With him? Not with him. Of him? Like his poster? Oh, I thought he was there. Oh, it's like inspirational.

You see greatness on the wall. You're like, I want to be like Tom Brady. Have you met Tom Brady? So here's the thing. I've been around him a lot. I did Good Morning America. And like dressing room was literally like there was one wall between us. And I'm like trying to work up the nerve.

I'm nervous as I'll get out. And he's right there. So I kind of walk out to see. And no joke, he had like 10, 7 foot tall Russian vetoes like security. Guards and tuxedos. I was just like, I'm not getting through those guys. I just walk right back in with my tail between my legs.

So not yet? Not yet. Maybe one day. Scott and McCurier is here. What up? I was going to tell a funny story about that too. I did an interview with the station down in Tampa. And they're like, dude, we just talked to Tom Brady, and he is a massive fan of yours.

And I was just like, stop, stop. Like, my heart starts pumping. And they're like, no, like, he legitimately could not stop talking about you. And then they start playing the clip. And he's like, Scotty, get over here. Out of board, Scotty. I love you, Scotty. And he's talking to his wide receiver, Scottie Miller, on the team.

But they had me for a second. They had me in the first half. Not going to lie. Well, this is going to be weird then because we'd set it up on line two. Tom Brady is on. Oh, man. I'm just kidding. Don't do this.

Everywhere he goes, if we just take shots out of him about Tom Brady. Listen, Scottie's got an album out today called Same Truck. I'm going to play a few clips. Ray, what do we have from? Whatever you want. We have it all. Whatever he wants. Okay, let me hear a little bit of Carolina to me from Scotty.

Skies are blue, you and just wings. I thank Grandpa on an old creek bank in a Zipko 33. We all got our own opinions. We all believe what we believe. But everything that's heaven to you is Carolina to me. And I also want to play the final track, because I really like this one. How you doing up there? And I'm going to ask you about it after it's over.

Just how you doing up there? I'm just checking in. Checking on how you. So this song, you know, stuck out to me in a pretty heavy way. You wrote it. So tell me about when you wrote, you know, how you doing up there, where it came from, what you're singing about there. Yeah, I think this is such a special song.

It's a perspective on a prayer that I had never even thought of before. And faith for me is the biggest part of my life. And we're in the room. And it's like, man, has anybody ever thought to ask God how he's doing? Because it's supposed to be a relationship, you know. And I was like, no, it's like it's always asking. It's always, hey, man, can you help me here? Hey, God, can you help me here?

Hey, the Patriots are down right now, man. Can you just help him score one touchdown? And obviously, the world, it's so crazy out there right now. And so we just kind of wrote the song around that and kind of maybe what he's, thinking up there and just a very conversational song with God from a perspective I hadn't heard before and I fell in love with the day we wrote it. Same truck is out today, including that song, which is the last track. That's a good last track because you leave like feeling like, all right, that felt good. It felt like a good one to end it on and the band does this rock and outro and

puts a nice little button on it, I think. All right, you guys check out same truck. The next single, you played that earlier? Damn straight. That's right. Damn straight. We did. Feel good about that. Anything else that we haven't gotten to, Scotty? Man, you crushed it. I did. Thank you. I'd like to say that too. I did. I did. I feel like I did a good job. I was prepared. I listened to the record. And so on that, we'll bid farewell. Bit farewell. Great to see you all. There he is. Scotty McCurry, everybody. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. On the show this week, a listener told Amy that she has upspeak. Now, I only have to imagine that this

was not a nice comment that Amy got sent, right? I mean, this is not one of those comments. Somebody's like, oh, hey, you're really awesome. You have upspeak. Yeah, you read that one, and then you sit with that for the entire day. Yes, that was one of those that was like a troll comment or a troll message that was like maybe sent with good intentions. Maybe not. Who knows?

But nonetheless came off and it hurts. So we deal with, gosh, so many types of people online about our personal lives. I want to know, Mike, what's like the kind of the few troll comments that you've gotten, I've kind of stuck with you. Oh, man. I get, see, the thing is, I try not to pay attention to them anymore. I hear you. Because I got into a point when I was first starting on the show of like reading everything. And when you read everything, you start to feel pretty bad about yourself after you see the bad things over and over again to the point where it was affecting my day.

Like people commenting on the way I look, the way I talk. I'm not a great speaker. I know that. So they be like, how could you say that so, you know, stupidly you sound like an idiot? I think those probably hurt the most for me

because I was like, I know. Like I don't want to be on the air. That's like not my thing. And when I do come on, yeah, sometimes I say things weird. So I think a lot of that was like,

you sound dumb. It just kind of hurts you. And then when people get into like commenting on your appearance and what you look like and what you shouldn't be doing, like, well, dressed a certain way.

I was like, I just, I'm not going to look at those anymore. Yeah. Well, and I think it's important that we don't. And the only reason I even say to talk about this is because I think like earlier this week I had shared a TikTok. Because I was really like life has been weighing very heavy on me. And I know other people are feeling that way too because right now we're just in a very hateful time. Everybody's got a lot of hate to share, right? All the time.

And it feels that like we're feeling that hate and the people that want to share negative things. And I'm like, look, at the end of the day, like, that's not, nothing about what we feel in our opinions matter. What matters is like our humanity and being compassionate and having empathy for other people. And so many people agreed, but I think what's important is pointing out how we got there. And that's realizing that we have so many things that we have to overlook every single day. And my point in drawing attention to this is like, so many people are like, oh, I wrote that with no intention of that being mean. Mm-hmm.

And you're like, no, you did write it with the intention of being mean. You just didn't think anybody would see it, you know? Like, nobody thinks it's going to get to that person. Yeah, you feel like it just goes into like an empty hole, but there's somebody on the other end reading that. Yeah. Like, we see everything. Like, I know some people think that you comment something and we won't, like, we read

everything. We see it all. Like, everybody you, you know, are. fans of they read all this stuff and they see it. It affects them very personally. Yeah. Well, and it has a also negative adverse effect on those who are also listeners who are also reading it, right? So say somebody comes at me and makes a comment, somebody came out one of my posts the other day and was like, I had posted about like previous abusive relationships. And somebody was like, well, you shouldn't let that happen to you. And my whole point of my

video was like, that's not what I had control over, right? That's not how it works. And this, this guy posted this and I'm like, you should not speak on something if you don't feel you're super educated on it because I'm fine. This is the reason I post the video because I can talk about it now. But there's a lot of people that are going to be coming to my comments that may have experience with this and see that comment. And it's going to adversely hurt them because then they're going to start blaming themselves because they're not in a place of healing and healthy. And we don't remember that.

Like, you're not even just saying it to the person that's on that profile. Yeah. You're saying it to everybody else who's coming to that profile. It's true. And so often you're like, I look at him so much and I'm like, I just want to know. When we're, edit it right there, when you're sitting on your computer and you're like, this is a good idea. Like, you know, and I know it's a lot of people going through.

pain and I know it's a lot of people hurting, but I just like want to encourage people to think before doing anything. Yeah. And I can't imagine how much this affects you because you are literally on all our social media is looking at all the comments, seeing all the messages, and you see all this every single day. Yes, about everybody. Yeah. It's not about me. It's about everybody on the show. Yeah. I think it's harder for me to read comments about other people. Like just looking at at the comments, like that would be on something Bobby would post, completely unrelated to anything, but something else gets brought up. And it's like, like, why do people do that? Yeah, it's not even related to what I'm talking about. Like, what my favorite, my favorite thing

to do, it used to be. And I kind of stopped doing that. I kind of do it just depending on the place I'm at in my mental health, like if I'm in a really healthy place. But like, I always call trolls, angry elves when I'm happy. Like when I'm in a good place, I'll be like, why are you being an angry elf? I don't like talk back about what they're asking or anything. I'm just like, why are you being an angry elf? Like, I'm not trying to be mean to you. I'm just trying to get your attention to be like, why are you saying this?

And I think it was a really common way because some people would be like, oh, I didn't mean that mean. And I'm like, okay, but it didn't. It came off that way. So it's like, you know, take a step back. Maybe not say it. Because also what we're forgetting is unless you're using like 50 explanation points, Did I say that right?

Exclamation. I knew it. Explaining your excitement. Yes. Yeah, words are hard for me. See? Yep. And you'll get a comment about that probably.

Always. But unless you're doing that and showing like this inflection, nobody knows how that's coming across. I mean, we've seen it in relationships with texting. Like, you can think your partner's really mad at you. And they're like, no, I just forgot to add up. And just the way you read it in your head and react to it. Yeah, it can not be the way they meant to say.

say it, but when it comes across like written text, it's hard to get across emotion, especially like sarcasm. I know. And like some, so many people will be like, I met that really kind. And I was like, yeah, I hear you. That's just not what came across at all. But yeah, I mean, I hate that you had to go through that. And I hate that people were commenting on that. Did that, did, did, that has social media for you ever had an influence enough? Let's, let's, let's, let's, try it this way. Has social media ever had like a positive influence in that it helps you do something or see something differently? Sometimes I think the way I use it now, I kind of put myself more out there like even if it was just posting stuff like about my

podcast, I think I can use it in a way of like if I am saying something no more, I am doing something wrong, taking at least the criticism they do have, even if it's kind of rude, there's maybe a little something and they're like, you're kind of right on that. and maybe I can take this negative comment and actually work to improve myself, I think sometimes there's some truth in those in the troll comments. Usually it's just angry and mad about something, but I guess sometimes it does hit me like a little person like, oh man, they're kind of right on that.

Maybe I didn't try as hard as I should have on that. Maybe you shouldn't have done that. But I think, yeah, maybe sometimes working on if there is something that does resonate with you that maybe you can work on, do it. But it's also not a great way to get it. across like a message of through hate. Yes. I think constructive criticism and trolling are two separate things.

Yeah. Sometimes they're in there like mixed in. You can send separate. Like you can send constructive criticism and I'll be like, okay, like that hurts. But like, well, I get it. Yeah. But like you send it with the mixed message of trolling. I'm definitely not going to get it.

Yeah. It's hard. It's easier to, it's what's harder when they're trolling and saying something that they want you to change or do something differently because it's like, well, you were mean and saying it. So I'm already going to just. blow it off. Dis credit of this, yeah. Exactly.

Well, and two, like, so many people have so many things to say, what you had kind of touched on at the beginning when you joined the show was how you talk and how you speak and stuff. And I think the worst kind of trolling is the ones that attacked you for literally being who you are. Or just things you can't control. Like, the worst part is I get criticized on my, dialect so often. And I'm like, I know. I'm very well aware of my dialect. And I come from Kansas.

I, there are things I say weird. There are things I say wrong. And that's just the reality. So, but I'm sitting here and I read things and I'm like, I don't have control over that. That's just literally who I am. Like very physically, that is my being. And you are criticizing something. I have no control over. That's, those are the worst ones. Like, you can criticize my decisions and, my appearance. But like when you criticize something that is about me that I literally can't do anything about, that's the worst time to me. Those hurt.

Yes. There's the most painful. Well, okay. We're going to, we're going to change from a, like, negative kind of thing,

but to like a positive thing. So, share with me a positive story. Something positive in your life right now. So we can, and this on a, like, a happy highlight. Maybe something positive.

Somebody sent you on social media. I don't know. Something good. Something good. I think the good thing in my life right now is I think for me like having being married now and how kind of normal that feels to me has kind of made me a all around better person. And I think now being married for like three, three months, I've kind of seen how it changes me and how hard it was to get to this. point, but how everything's just kind of clicking now. It just kind of works. Yeah. And it's just, I don't know, so many people will tell you so many different things about

getting married. They give you all this advice. But once you're actually in it and able to explore it yourself and kind of like what you want your life to be and look like, I don't think any of that advice even really matters. Like, yeah, I listen to what people say and, you know, took some of that advice. But I think once you're actually living your life and enjoying it, for me, that's kind of been the best thing I've ever done.

No. Like aside from like all this, like the things from this job or the things we've accomplished, even like getting the CMA nomination recently, like, none of that really matters compared to like having somebody to spend that with now. Going home and she always being there. And going back to that, when that CMA nomination did come out, like my wife was the first one I told and I was excited about. And like, we've been nominated for that before.

We won that award before. But I think this is the first year it really meant something to me because, I mean, we've been together now for a while. But, I mean, she was the first person I got to tell. And I was like, that kind of means more than the actual nomination. Yeah. Somebody to share all of the highs and lows with. Yeah.

Oh, no, it was a good thing. I'm not even going to go anywhere else. It was such a good thing to end this moment on. Okay. Oh. me composed myself really quick. Yeah, that was cute. Okay, well, you can listen right now to the moment that Amy told us a listener had messenger

and kind of criticized her upspeak and, you know, how everybody responded to it. Number five. A listener told you you had upspeak. Yes. What's up speak? Well, it's where you speak up, like your inflection goes up at the end of a sentence, like sorority girl talk-ish. If I were going to say, I went to the park.

I went to the park? Yeah, that's it. You've heard a question mark at the end of things, and she said that it distracts listeners. Oh, you just did it right then. I did. Oh, no. See, I have to work on it. I looked up at exercise to work on it, too.

So I need to sit down with a piece of paper and write down facts and then read them back to myself. Like, there's not a question. I am wearing sweatpants. I just get deeper at the end of sentences. Yes, that is. You get lower? Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter what the sentence is. I'm happy to go to her today.

Yeah, she said, that's actually. a good thing to practice. I need to practice going lower. Like your shirt is black. I don't know. I don't know. I have to work on it. But apparently people might be tuning out because of me and my upspeak. We'll be monitoring. Now, in the next segment, we will find no upspeak, right? No. Okay. Amy's Pyle of stories is next. What's coming up? Well, there's Flamin Hot Cheetos mac and cheese. There's Flaming Hot Cheetos Mountain Dew, all kinds of things that people are using with Flamen Hot Cheetos. And I have a new concoction, and it sounds so good. to want your take on that. Oh, she's did it.

I did it? That's right. Wow. Now I'm going to be annoyed by it. I know. Now I've been made aware. Oh, no. No.

Go ahead. Oh, I don't even want to talk anymore, but Tim McGraw covered a song that I think is amazing. You did it again. Amazing. That was a question. That was emphasis. It's going up. That was emphasis on amazing.

Oh, my goodness. I can never hear her speak again. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. Another guest on the show this week, we had Leni Wilson on for her first time on the show. She's done a lot of things with the raging idiots. But this was her first time on the Bobby Bone Show and she performed her song, Thanks a Man Not a No. You know, we talked about her time being a Hannah Montana impersonator, which as a OG Hannah Montana fan, so cool to hear this story. She wants to meet the Cyrus's.

They have a huge impact on her life and just a lot of things about somebody from a small town that she shared that has got her to where she is in her career. A super cool artist and even better performer. So listen right now. This is Lany Wilson's interview and her performance of things. A man not a know. Number four. On the Bobby Bones show now.

Lainey Wilson. I can't believe you haven't been in the studio before. We've done so much together over the years. I know. It feels like I've been here, but I haven't. It's my first time. We're going to make it really, wow. You should be so nervous, Lany.

Oh, I am. Wow, you should be so nervous. Lanny's been to my house a couple times. She taught me how to do the get up way back in the day. We did the Bobbycast way early. You've been to my house now. Yeah. I mean, you played with the raging idiots at the rhyming, but you've never been in this room.

It's crazy. Crazy. Well, Laney Wilson is here. She got a song that's about to be a number one song. How does that feel to have this song right here, Things a Man ought to know? Just be the song in country music. Well, I wasn't expecting to get emotional this early in the morning. I am so humbled and excited, and I know this is just the beginning,

and I really know that, you know, the hard work is just beginning now, too. It's like I've been preparing for the race. I finally entered it, now I'm about to run it. That's what it feels like. And it's now when you're exhausted, you have to remember, I'm so thankful to be tired because I get to be tired at what I've been working so hard to do. That's right. And so you're right.

Yeah, the race is now, you're really starting to run now, but, man, how great is it that you have something that's popping? It's crazy. I mean, I hear from so many people every day. I mean, from single mothers, from dads who are trying to teach their little girls, a few things a man ought to know. I hear from guys who gave up and got it wrong. I hear from this one lady who was about to go through a divorce, and she sent a song to her husband, and he heard it and snapped out of it. And, I mean, in my opinion, that's the power of country music.

That's crazy. I mean, you say power. There is a power, and there is almost a responsibility, too. Yeah. You have a voice. That's right. Not a literal singing voice, but you have a voice as a songwriter and as an artist that gets to be on country radio. That's right?

Like, there's some responsibility there, right? It's a lot of responsibility for sure. It's my responsibility to make sure that people feel like they're not alone. Whether that means it's a turn it up, have a good time kind of song, or the opposite, whatever. You know, we're all in us together, so. Laney Wilson is here. We have a lot to talk about. But since we're talking about the song, won't you play it for us?

I'll do it. All right. Here is Things a Man ought to Know from Laney Wilson. I can catch a fit. I can change a tire on the side of a road. Yeah, I know a few things. A man ought to know when it's tough. Messing up.

Come on. Elaine Wilson. You have also stumbled onto a new bit we should do where we have, if people want to play new songs, they play verse and a course, and if we cheer, they keep going. And if we don't, they go away. Exactly.

Yeah. They do version of course. I was just about to get on and walk out. We were like, huh, how about that? Hey, that was great. I mean, I know you're great. Amy, what do you think about Atlanta? I've known Lany for a long time.

Oh, yeah, no. I mean, I've said it on the show a couple weeks ago. This is my favorite song on the radio right now. Really? Oh, it is. Oh, yeah, we did a whole segment about it. And, like, I hear it. I love it.

In fact, I'm challenged in the first verse anytime I'm driving in my car. And I'm like, shoot, I don't know how to pull a trailer, change a tire. I don't know. I said I know how to do it. I didn't say good. Okay. There's a different.

No, but your voice is amazing. and it's just such a beautiful song, so we're so happy for you. Thank you. We were having a debate here internally. Is he over six foot tall? Oh. Because I said the same thing. He's listed at six two, and I feel like...

Maybe with his boots on. That's what we said. Would you say that Jason Aldine is six two? I would not look at him and think he was six two. Me either. But who knows? I'm not good at that, honestly. Cover your bases.

I agree. Who knows? Because I don't either, but we were talking about country stars six foot or over, and Alineine was listed at six two, and I was like, man, Maybe he is. Maybe he's deceivingly tall. I don't know. I feel like he's about six foot.

I could definitely settle with six foot. By the way, there is no such thing as 511 for a guy. Why? Why? If you're 511, you just say you're six foot. If someone is saying they're 511, they're really like 5.9 and a half. There is no guy that's 5.11. So even if you are, you say 6 foot.

Listen, I say I'm 6'1. I'm like 6'1. But I feel like I can round up. I know. I say I'm 5'6. I'm probably like 5.5 and a half. You know. Are you 5 5? Are you that short?

I am. 5.5. Ray, are you taller than Lainey? Yeah, I got her by a couple inches. You don't have her by a seat. No, raised 5'6. We measured Ray, race 5.6. I just wanted to test him there. Yeah, 5.6. I'm the tallest female in my family. I've got some short women in my family.

How tall your mom? 5.1 and some just, yeah. Is your dad tall? My daddy is 510. Short family. So he's six. So he's six. Yeah, so he's six.

He's six, two. Did he teach you how to play guitar? He did. He showed me a few chords. He learned to play by ear, just growing up. A guy named Jerry Cupid, who actually used to produce Ken Mellons and Kevin Sharp back in the 90s, is from Basque in my hometown and showed my daddy a couple chords, and then he just kind of picked it up. And then he gave me his fender guitar.

That's not the one, though. Oh, this is not yet. Well, you're looking at it like it's the one. I was like, honestly, I was like, which one am I playing today? What do you think the first? Show us the first chord you learned. Was it G? It was, but it was called what Daddy liked to call the easy G. Oh, here we go. Let's hear a little

easy G from Lainey Wilson. Literally, it's just two fingers like this. Oh, wow. And then easy C. Amy, when you hear that first chord, play that G again. What song is it? What does it make you think about? Like free falling? That's what I thought. What do you think of? What do you hear? I don't hear free fall in. Okay.

It was all. Me too. Me too. That I can do to keep from crying. Yeah, I heard David Allen and Co. Well, lunchbox and I are on the same. Yeah, free pawns and D, guys, come on. That's so funny.

Can you play D? Just hit D for Amy. Because I'm free. Yeah, for sure. When you are playing a show before Aldine, what's that crowd like? Nuts. They could not have chose, like, more me, Hardy, and Jason. I mean, like the three most redneck people.

people in this town. So it has been, it has been so much fun. And I get to stand there side stage and just honestly learn from them. I mean, the way they just connect with their people, it's just unreal. Do you ever have to watch for Jason's like pyro, like his explosive stuff on the stage? Dude, you can be 100 feet away and still fill the fire. It's like, all right. I'll be scared a woman going on while it was up there doing like the opening up. Are you still doing any music for Yellowstone? Because back in the day, we'd talk about that, because you have songs all over Yellowstone. And we're coming back with a new season. Any chance there?

We'll see what happens. You know, the music that they put, the sync music they put on the show is really one of the last things they do before it even goes out, which is so wild. But yeah, so I might know like two weeks before an episode, and they'll be like, hey, by the way, we're going to use things a man, I don't know, or whatever. So, I mean, Taylor Sherrod and the writer and producer of the show has been really good to me. How did you get in contact with him early? Because again, your songs were featured from the beginning. Yeah. So Yellowstone had reached out to WME, and they were looking for some music back in 2018.

And they sent over a self-titled EP of mine, and he chose one of the songs off there. It was Deering. Remember when the Bull was breaking into the bar? Yeah. That scene? That's one of my favorite scenes of the show. But from there, he invited me to come out to Vegas and play at this, like, horse raining competition that he was doing and I got to just kind of hang out with him and talk and we bonded

over horses because I grew up riding too and he was like hey here's my number if you feel like you've got anything for the show send it my way and that's in him every song I would be like what I know it's actually called Yellowstone what a coincidence what's what's basking Louisiana like 300 people 299 after me cornfields Just a bunch of blue collar farming. Just good people. Good people. Are they proud of you back home?

Very proud of me. Yes. They're excited. Finally people have stopped asking me when I'm going to come home. Yep. When you moved to Nashville, you moved up here and lived in a trailer for a little bit. I did. Like you drug a trailer.

In 2011, I bought a, it was a flagstaff like bumper pool. And it was cheaper than rent. The guy, Jerry Cupid, who I was talking about from, Baskin who taught my daddy how to play guitar. He let me live in his studio park lot for free for the first three years. In the trailer. In the trailer. I was bumming water, Wi-Fi, electricity. I was going to college online. Got that general studies degree. And here you are now. You're going to have the number one song in the whole country. How crazy. Listen, just for me to see you, you know, the last three or four years has been a treat. And now you're like, you're like all big time now. It's

pretty cool to see, Laney. I don't know about that. My family. My family. keeps me real humble, so. Well, you guys follow Lainey at Lainey Wilson Music on Instagram. Things the Man ought to know, just killing it. Congratulations. Thank you. Out with Jason on tour, playing the opera. It's got to be all your childhood dreams coming true.

It is. It's all coming to fruition, and this is just the beginning. I'll end with this question. Have you met Miley Cyrus yet? I have not met Miley Cyrus. But the first song I learned on guitar is Akey Brecky Heart, too. I can't get away from the Cyrus's. So the first song you learned was Billy Rurie.

then you were a Miley impersonator for years. I might as well be a Cyrus. I'll ask one question about the Miley thing, because you and I've talked about it a lot on a podcast. Did you make more money being a Miley Cyrus impersonator, a Hanna Montana, I should say. That's it. Hanna Montana impersonator.

Then you did your first couple years in like normal music. Oh, I took like 10 giant steps back. After I hung up the Hanna Montana wig, I went from making $3 or $400 a party, and I was doing like three or four a weekend, birthday parties, fairs, festivals, I would open up for Hannah Montana. I'd be like, hey, can Laney open the show?

So you would do Laney and then you'd go put on the Hannah stuff? Yeah, well, sometimes I'd be like, well, who's Laney? I'm like, me, the person you're talking to, can I open the show? They're like, no, we just won't Hannah. I'm like, all right, fair enough. But anytime I could, I would do it. So you'd make a thousand bucks a weekend versus your first few years out here

where you'd probably lose the money. I was, and I was going back home to this place called the Pickle Barrel, and they would let me play a couple times a month, and I'd just make everything at the door. or thank goodness I wasn't having to pay for rent or anything because I was living in my camper. But, yeah, I thought about picking the wig back up a few times. I'm not going to lie.

Lanny Wilson, you guys, she's got a record out. It's called Saying What I'm Thinking. Things a Man ought to know. Out, number one song, and she's out with Aldine. You guys check it out. Lanny, good to see you. There she has. Lanny Wilson, everybody.

Thank you. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. On the show this week, Amy talks. about her daughter having to sign a permission slip for a class at school. So crazy story. But like, thinking of this life update, she's at this place in her life. Her daughter is kind of a teen now. I don't know what the ages are at this point that you assign people teenagers. But her daughter is a early teen and she, you know, had a sex ed class and her and Amy had to sign a permission slip for this. So that's kind of a life update in Amy's world

with her kids. So I want some life updates from you, Mike. I think the biggest thing recently is that I turned 30. And I now feel 30, which is weird because I'm at that point now to where I start finding out like all these things people warn me about getting older, not so much like the physical aspect of it, but of like things that I grew up with and things that were kind of, you know, so a pivotal part of like my childhood are now seen as old. And that's weird to hear of like people referencing the 90s is like this far away time.

And in my head, it still was like 10 years ago. But it's seeing all the kids now like on TikTok like, oh yeah, look at this thing from the 90s. Did you also see that they're being taught in school that the 80s and 90s are the 1900s? Yes, the late 1900. What? That sounds so weird to me, but it's true. It is. But saying that makes it sound.

older than it is. It does. Like that makes it feel like it's from the 60s, not like 20 years ago. Yeah, it sounds like it's way back at the beginning of time to me now. Oh, yes. So feeling 30, what are some things that you feel as a 30-year-old now that you were like, I didn't feel this before? I can't.

Oh, that's a hard question. I don't know. Are your knees getting weak? You know, are you getting sore all the time? retired all the time. No, the physical part, not so much with me. Like, I still exercise and run and don't have any problems with that. It's more so like the mental game it's having on me of even like bands I listen to growing up. Kids these days have no idea who they are. So you're feeling the age. I'm feeling that like that generational gap now. So that's weird for me that a band that I grew up liking

is now seen as an old band that never happened to me before. Like I was into all like the cool bands at the time and I was like I know someday people are going to look back on this music and think it's from so long ago and so like classic that's a weird feeling to have but do you feel like you are still in touch with the other ones like when you watch or when you see the met gala or the VMAs do you still know who people are and you still know what's happening I still know all of it so I have both worlds that I am up to date with you know the artists at the VMAs everybody at the Metgala and I know that entire world but I also have all this other stuff that means more to me and then I relate with more.

So the fact that those two worlds don't connect anymore is the part where I'm like, well, wait, what am I? I don't know how to feel. Yes. Well, and I will say I feel like the pandemic kind of escalated us further in that. Mm-hmm. How so? Well, like, I feel so like during pre-pandemic, I was out partying all the time.

That was my like mantra, right? Every weekend, work hard, play harder. I loved it. Pandemic happened and I was like home all the time. And then like now that you can kind of go back out again, I'm like, I'll go to dinner. And then I'm going to go to bed. Yeah. And then like I garden all the time.

I like don't drink. Like I maybe have one drink on a weekend now. Like everything shifted dramatically for me. And the only reason is because of the pandemic and I realized how good it felt hanging out at home and waking up, not hungover. and like being proud of my yard work that I did. So I feel like in a way it kind of propelled us to that like next phase of our lives. Yeah, I could see that too. I mean, you get excited about yard work now, right?

So excited about yard work. Like I'll do something like, oh, yes, here it is. I'm so proud. I've turned into my father. You know, one of the Allstate commercials or whatever where they're like teaching you not to be your parents. I am my parents. I've seen it in every way of things that I do. And one of the big ones is my yard work. I'm very proud of my yard and my, my landscaping. But so much of that, I don't think had I been like at home and like really forced to like live in that part of my life,

I don't think I would have. I don't think I want to grown up yet. Yeah, I think the way I've kind of changed in that way of growing up and thinking that way is I really like getting good deals on things now. By you couponing? No, just like finding the best deals on things and not trying to pay like over a certain amount for something. Before like younger I didn't care.

Like I was like I don't care how much it is. But now I'm like, I don't know. I think I could get that like a discount later or that's a really high price on that. I'm very like particular about that now. And I can feel myself getting older in that aspect. Be a stickler on your money. Yeah, trying to like bundle things to get like 10% off or something.

I'm looking for deals now. I did used to get into couponing, though. I got real into that show, Extreme Couponer. Wait, okay. When was this? How old were you when this happened? I was still in my early 20s. I didn't have a lot of money in college.

I didn't have a lot of money growing up. And we never really got into couponing, but for a brief period of time, I got really into that TLC show. And the thing is they go, these people are hardcore. They'll go and dig coupons out of the trash. and their whole goal is to have enough coupons

to where either they pay a very low amount or nothing at all. Sometimes the stores owe them money at the end of it. And I thought that was so cool because they would use and double up on coupons is how you get those deals. And at the end of it, they ring up everything and they're like, all right, you owe four cents.

And I thought that was so cool. So I started couponing, but I could never really get it down to that science. You never got it down to where like they owed you were like basically zero dollars. No, I would save like four dollars. But my dream was on the show, they all show off like their stockpiles and they have like entire like sheds or big closets dedicated to all these things they have. So it's like I have 40 rolls of toilet paper. I have 16 tubes of toothpaste. And I was like, man, if someday I could have my own stockpile from

couponing, that would be amazing. But I gave that up after a few months. Okay. So it only lasted about a few months. Yeah, but I guess now it's reemerging through coupon codes. Yeah, well, you totally could. I mean, as tech savvy as you are, like, you could totally figure out couponing through apps. Yeah, I never buy anything online without, like, searching a coupon code. The honey, do you use honey? I have honey, yeah. Honey is one of them.

But, like, even, like, some store apps like Walmart, I know you can, like, put in your receipt and you can get money back potentially because they'll compare prices with other grocery stores and they want you to have the best deal. Target, you can save money on things. Like, they all have their own apps now. Yeah. Starbucks is a big one for me right now too. That you can like, what's the Starbucks thing?

You build up points and then for a certain amount of points you can get a free drink. Yes. See, like if you go somewhere consistently at this point in our age of life, once you pass the threshold of 25 years old, I'll put that on there. Pass that threshold. You should, if you are going somewhere frequent enough, have some form of way of saving money there. Yes. Like Kroger, I have a Kroger card. Didn't have one until about two years ago.

got a Kier card. I save like 15, 20 bucks every time. And on my guess, you have a Starbucks reward system. Yeah. I think that's like the thing that you want, when you hit 25, that is the thing you have to have to save some kind of money. Yeah, it's possible. Yeah.

I was thinking about this the other day, like, in this old age. And we look at the, when you get older and like it being so sad that you're getting older and it's hard. And you don't want to get older, right? But I was also thinking about the things that, like, we should get really excited about. Like, when we're a kid, we're so excited to get older to do things. And, like, so many things that are we wish we could have done then.

And I'm like, yeah, that's true. Because when we're younger, we're always like, I want to be able to do this. And when we're older, we're like, we want to be younger again to do this. But, like, I'm older. So, like, I can make whatever I want to eat for dinner. Nobody's yelling at me. I can drive wherever I want to drive. Like what are what is something that you would add to that list of things that are so cool about being older?

The ability to do what you want when you want. I think it's the main thing. The thing about getting older too that you're that kind of triggered when you were talking about that for me is like when I was younger I never thought about having kids. And then now as I got older, I think the thing I see a lot of people like who choose not to have kids is like how hard it is to have kids. is like how hard it is to have kids and how it takes away some of those freedoms you have as an adult. Like right now I could do whatever I want.

Yeah. I could go out and I come home. I don't have any responsibilities like that. But I kind of realize now, maybe seeing, you know, like Eddie with all his kids, lunchbox, Amy with their kids, you think about those moments that are hard. It takes away, yeah, some of your freedoms

of like being able to do whatever you want. But what I'm seeing now, like with my parents of like having kids to get, to my age and now that I'm 30 and being able to like do real life things and have these kind of emotional moments and like no one ever talks about that of like when you do have 30 year old kids how much that means to you and how like important it is to have somebody that's not just a kid anymore but like a real life grown adult and that kind of relationship and I guess I never really had that thought before of like oh it's not just about

those early years of when they're running around and you're stressed and tired all the time and trying to figure out how to raise them. It's about getting to that moment to where you've raised an adult who's now 30 years old and complaining about paying full price on something. So I think that's for me, like what it's kind of like set into me. Yeah, I get that. Do you think like as you have gotten older, were you ever like, no, I don't, I don't know that that's for me. And now you are at a point where you're like, that is for me. Yeah. I think I remember, talking to Hillary and Morgan won't on this show at one point. I'm like, yeah, I don't think I'm ever going to have kids.

Like, I don't think that's for me. And then after meeting my wife and then us, I mean, we talked about that pretty early on. I got to a place to where I was like, I could actually see that for me. Not at any time soon, but it turned for me thinking I would never have kids and now we have like a fake name for our kids. That's an ongoing inside joke with us. Does you have a fake name? Yeah, we call our soon-to-be imaginary kid Roscoe.

Roscoe. Because we're like, we're going to have three kids, name them Roscoe, chicken, and waffles. Okay. Why Roscoe chicken and waffles? There's a restaurant called Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. And I just came up with that one day. So now every time we refer to our quote-unquote kid, we call them Roscoe, to the point that when we have a kid, we're probably going to have the name of Roscoe at this point.

Hey, it could be a middle name. Honestly, you could still give them the middle names, Roscoe chicken and Waffles and they're going to be like they will have a story when they're a kid in a classroom and they need a fun fact they will have one every time I'm telling you chicken and waffles can be fun nicknames that's cool I love that that transition for you in life because I think it's it's a lot to be said about about growth in life and that just because you feel one way now doesn't mean you always feel that way there are some things that it's okay to be a hundred on. But when you meet people and when you meet that person, you don't know what that person's

going to do to you in your heart and in your mind, you know? Yeah. And it's change everything. Yeah. And you should if you feel the need to change, like it's not a bad thing. I think sometimes people feel like, oh, well, I've had this opinion for so long. I just stick with it or people will call me that I, you know, you know, flip positions. I think that's what life is about. It's about growing and seeing other perspectives and learning new things and opening up yourself to feel a different way. Like, it's scary sometimes you get to you know think about it like that but life's about gross and and because I feel it I I am you but you like a few years ago because I don't know if I want kids I don't know if I'm ever going to be there but I'm not against it if it comes and I'm not in any way I'm just like

you know whatever's going to work out is going to be what happens and it'd be really cool to have kids but it'd also be really cool to not and be able to travel the world I don't know Same thing. I could go either way. So, like, I get that feeling, but I think it's so cool that you are in a place now that, like, you see that as part of your future. Still, my biggest fear is, like, keeping them alive. Like, that's my hardest thing. Can I keep another human alive?

My job is to keep it living. Well, were you and Kelsey, who's your wife, would you guys ever end up getting a pet or anything? We are. We've talked about getting a dog. Right now we don't have, like, a fenced-in backyard. So we're like, I don't think we're in a good spot where we're living now. have a dog. I think if we, she really wants when she gets on TikTok all the time and she's debon puppy TikTok. So she's like, look at this dog. We got to get this dog. She looks at

Instagram pages here of like shelters with dogs and like, look at this dog. We got to go get it. And we're not ready right now. Like we can't. We're still struggling day to day, sometimes keeping ourselves completely alive. Like we can't introduce a pet right now. You think that. But you two are some of the responsible. again, another word, I can't say most responsible people. I know, you guys would totally make that work. You wanted to.

If you saw a dog, you're like, okay, that's the dog. Yeah, maybe. But two, I am a big, another word, I can't say, a proponent, a pro, I don't know, whatever. I am a big fan of knowing that rescue dogs choose their people. And so, like, when you guys are ready and you guys go walk in a shelter,

or you see something online and it resonates with you. You're going to be like, that's a dog. And there's not going to be a plan. It's just going to happen. I mean, when I got Remy, when I rescued her, I was living at home with my parents. I was working in my first job one month into my first ever big kid job.

I had just bought a new car. And I was volunteering at the Humane Society. About two and a half weeks in, okay? I was walking dogs. It's great. And then this dog comes in. My life changed dramatically. Stop volunteering because I had a new puppy to take care of.

I had to stay up with her every night with taking her outside. My parents weren't helping me just because I was living at home. Doesn't mean they were helping me. I just had to get their permission for it to happen and working a new job. It was everything all at once. And then like a year after that kind of puppy phase came out, I was like, wow, that was the best thing I ever did. which was never something that I had planned. Like, genuinely, I went to volunteer because I was like, I can't have a dog right now,

and I want to help dogs. And I was like, well, that's not what I planned to happen. I was not ready. It did not have finances, and it just kind of, like, worked itself out because Remy was supposed to be with me at that moment. And her name? You want to know her name before that? Because you like Pokemon.

Yeah, what was it? Volprix. Really? That was her, that's what the rescue or the shelter gave her for her name. And I was like, I don't know what this is. Now I know what it is. But yeah, her original name was Volprix. Nice.

Yeah. So I am a big fan of the fact that I will just kind of work out. Did you, either of you guys have dogs growing up? No, I had cats. So did you want a cat and she's the one that wants a dog? Yeah, I think she's allergic to cats or she said she's allergic to cats to say she doesn't really like cats. But yeah, growing up, we didn't really have like our official cats, but I lived in a trailer park

and there was always these stray cats. So I loved them and I would feed them and they would all stick around and I took care of them. And then later in life we had like two cats that were like our cats and that we loved. And I don't know. I've always been drawn to cats because they're super chill and they hang out and they come around when they need you and they go do their own thing when they want to. Very low mitteness. So I would love to have a cat now, but she's not a fan. So do you like dogs though, even though you didn't grow up around them?

I do like dogs. But yeah, I never grew up having a dog. the only dogs I really remember were like when I would go to Mexico and like the dogs, they would hang out like my grandma. So those dogs are always really cool. But I never really grew up having one of my life.

So she did. So she has that kind of more attachment to them and drawn to them more. But yeah, I would love to have a dog. No, that's so exciting. I mean,

I know that like it's not for everybody, but most of the time after people get married, one of the first steps people do is get a pet together. A very natural progression before kids. I guess. And I think what it was when I first moved to Nashville, I was living with Bobby and his first dog, Dusty. He was my first friend, like, in Nashville.

Oh. And, like, we would hang out all the time. And, like, he would, like, stay in the bed with me. And that was, like, the first time I really had a bond with a dog. And he was super chill. And having that kind of experience is what made me, like, oh, yeah, I want to have a dog like him someday. Like, like, that's the kind of tongue I actually, like, look at because I had so many great

memories with him and hanging out with him. and that's the kind of dog I would like. Yeah, and I can totally see you with a dog like that. Yeah. Like that makes sense. Like, I don't see you with a little teeny tiny Yorkie. No. Oh, that's exciting.

Well, that's a big life update if you guys are planning for that. But it sounds like you have to make a move first. Yeah. So near future. Near future. Okay. Good exciting life update. I don't know that I really have any.

I'm just really hanging out at home working on my garden. So big. landscape project in my in my backyard happening. My boyfriend has been staying with me for the last few weeks, which is kind of a shift change. We're not living together, but getting an idea of what that could be like if we chose to go down that path. His dog got neutered.

And so I, and I'm after work, I get to go be home and work. So I've been hanging out with the two of them. And it's been, it's been really good. That's a very, like, formative time of, like, learning. Yes. Even with like me and my wife, we didn't, we were a long distance for two years. And then she moved here during the pandemic and we got that first taste of living with each other, which is totally different. You learn, even though we'd already been together for two years, you learn so many new things living with somebody.

And I think for us, we had kind of like a two month, everything was great type situation. Like, hey, we finally in the same city, get to spend all this time with each other. Everything is perfect. and I think I remember specifically like this one moment where we kind of had like a like our first real like living together argument about like the dishwasher. I said the thing that I probably regret the most that ever said. It was like our biggest thing is like unloading the dishwasher.

And I think at one point I said, well, you know, most of those dishes in there are yours. The worst thing you said by. That's the moment like everything kind of dropped and you realize this isn't a fairytale anymore. We're two humans that have. all this time every single minute with each other. That's kind of when it hit. And we were able to take that kind of moment and like work on things of like,

all right, how are we going to exist in this house together and not want to rip each other's heads off? How do we like continue this relationship? So it's, you learn a lot about somebody living with them and spending every, you know, waking moment with them and doing things like unloading the dishwasher or making dinner. So I'm excited for you doing that.

Well, the good thing, too, is I love my personal space, and he works all the time. So, like, really, I don't ever see him until, like, 8 or 9 o'clock at 9. And I'm like, this is great. Like, we kind of are kind of existing here together, but, like, you're never around because you work all the time. So we get that. But then, like, we're getting to spend time together because he's so busy. That's the time we get to spend together is when he gets back. But, I mean, he's, I am OCD clean.

Like, I have everything very organized. Everything has a place in my house. house, like, and I have had to let some of that, like, slide. Okay. Which is really hard for me because I'm like, everything has a place here for a reason. And then he's like, okay, but like, I don't have things in place. And I'm like, okay, well, we'll make that. And like, so we've learned to compromise already very quickly.

And he always makes sure to make the bed. If he's the last one out, because that is a huge thing for me. I always make the bed when I leave in the morning. And so every time I come home and I see the bed made, I'm like, this is the best day ever. It's such a little thing. And he's like, why does that make you so happy? I'm like, I don't know. I can't explain it.

And he's like, okay, well, I'll just keep doing it then, I guess. Does it just make you feel like complete? Yeah, like it's a checklist off. Like every morning, that's something I have to do. If I don't do it, my whole day feels chaotic. It's just something on my thing. So when I go home and it's done, I'm like, this is so cool. So it's been interesting.

And we've learned a lot about each other. But like, surprisingly, like, there is no part of us that wants to kill each other, which is a good thing. That is good. So that's kind of a life update going. on and yeah that's about it. My and my landscaping. I can. And the landscaping.

I spend a lot of time at Lowe's. Oh man. Okay, well you guys can hear right now. Amy talk about her daughter, the permission slip she had to sign for her and what all went down at school. Number three. Right. Talk to me about this permission slip.

Well, I had to sign one for my daughter to attend sex ed at school. But I feel like my mom had to sign that for me too when I was in fifth grade or something. Yeah, there were no permission that's what I come from. Really? You get crammed in a room, you watch a video, and then you never speak about it again. Wow. That was it for us. They got a little roly thing, the TV's on top of the roly thing, everybody be quiet.

I remember coach, one of our coaches, I can't remember which one, sat in there, and everybody was like, and he'd be like, that's Licks. What? Paddling. Oh, gosh, I thought he was referring. Okay. Nope, no, Licks, whack. I thought he was referring to the TV.

And so. What? I didn't do Eddie and I was like, oh my gosh. Wow, he went that hard, huh? Okay. Wow. Wow. Okay.

Yeah, so, no, I remember kids getting pulled out, which. Yeah, if you snickered, you got licks. No, no. Again, like that. And so nobody snickered after a while. We watched some terrible video. They're so bad. I think we've advanced since then.

I sure hope so. I mean, we as parents have a responsibility to be having conversations at home, too, for sure. And those conversations can start at a young age. But I was like, oh, wow, here we are. Seventh grade, sex ed. So I signed it, had a talk with my daughter about it, and it'll start soon. What do they teach? Don't know yet, for sure.

What did you talk to her about? I said, well, this is going to be for sex ed, sexual education. And we have different talks. Like, I've gotten some books that she has read to learn more about her body. And then we need to have the conversation of what happens with other bodies. Oh. I mean, I need to go there. I have to, but I'm not embarrassed to do it.

I just need to take the time to do it. But we have open conversations. I know she sees stuff. I mean, you're stammering around the line, so I don't feel like the conversations are that open. I know. Well, I feel like I'm delayed because I adopted my kids and I got my daughter when she was she, well, she joined our family when she was 10 and now she's 14. But it's like parents have an opportunity.

If you just start open communication as young as two, three, four years old and then you just have it ongoing. Two seems pretty young. I'm being about when you're referring to their body, like that type of sex ed. Instead of being like, oh, you're a little tinkle tinkle. Like you can refer to it as the real name. Oh, you don't call it a pickle? I'm asking. No.

Do you call the pickle? Do you call it a pickle? Well, I always say tickle my pickle. I said that earlier on the show today. I know, but like as a parent, that's, does Loungewugs do that? I don't know. Okay, well, no. Like, at our home, we use the actual words.

Like, I don't know if I can even say them on the radio, which sucks. Yes, can I say that? That's why I say to my son. It's clinical. Okay, well, sometimes I say things and you're like, whoa, you can't say that. So I just want a permission. But yes, with my son, we talk about his, with my daughter, it's a f***. I don't just say your hoo-ha.

I don't know. I still say hoo-ha, and I'm an adult man. I don't know that I'm not anti-hoo-ha. But, I mean, that's, well, that just, makes it more comfortable with them learning about their bodies. And that is what I meant, which you can start at two, three years old. And then you go from there. But we're a little behind, and my daughter's 14.

I have to have some conversations. We're very open about this. And she can't be open with us about what she's open about. She starts laughing. She goes, I gave her a book and I haven't talked to her since. I haven't seen the kid in a week. I said, read this and don't come out. Okay, that's not what happened.

But, I mean, I'll get it together when the time is right. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I got this. Best Bits of the Week with Morgan number two. Another guest we had on the show this week, Aaron Goodvin. He pitched his song for our Friday morning dance party and he made it.

The song is called Lonely Drum. So then follow up this week, he got to come in and perform it. And it was such a cool moment. He shared what it was like hearing a song on the radio and then performing the song live. It was just all really cool. So Aaron Goodvin, here is his interview and his performance. Number two. on the Bobby Bones show now.

Aaron, good to see you, buddy. Good to be here. You know, I went in my office one day, and there was that sign that said, I'd like you to play my song in the dance party. No one had ever thought of just asking for a dance party. Everyone's always like, add my song to your show, play it. But I thought, well, that's interesting. And I hadn't heard the song.

And so I played a little bit of it, which is Ray's going to play it right here. And I thought, it's actually a pretty good song, too. Honestly, I thought it would be crap. I'll be honest with you. I don't blame you. Because so many people sing crap. Right. Yeah.

I was like, this is going to be real, real trash. And I played it, and I went, wow, it's not. And so we played it. We played it. Did you get a bunch of text messages the first time we played it? Unbelievable. My phone was blowing up. From everywhere.

Were you asleep? From everywhere. Yes. Well, there was a thing on Twitter that, I think you guys posted on Twitter, and I woke up, and there was something that said, like, honestly, what I thought was one of, like, my crazy Canadian fans that was like, Bobby, you should play, you know. You should play a lonely drum or whatever. And because up in Canada, it's just like crazy phenomenon song.

Which, by the way, I did win the CCMA songwriter of the year. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? The Canadian CM. Yeah. And so it's so funny because I literally got that and I thought that's what it was. And then when I saw it wasn't, I was like, oh, man, that pitch actually worked. And it never worked.

I'm never convinced. I was like, this is unbelievable. It was so exciting. We've been, like, got so many texts and so many people. people reach out. And honestly, one of my favorite things is like, you know, my management and I call this song super reactive. And for the first time, since we put this song out in Canada, I felt the same reaction that we got when it went out in Canada. It was like people were singing along to it. They were sending us videos and people dancing to it, singing along, and just having like a

great time. And so when I started to see that, I was like, oh my God, thank God. Thank God. Because this song, I have been stuck on this song to put it out in the U.S. And really just try and just find somebody who believes in it that we could get, you know, just people to hear it. That was our biggest thing. Bobby Bones to the rest. It is quite the hit, man. We've played it a couple times since on the air just because we liked the song.

I know. I've been TikTok-in-about it. Freaking out. Then it goes off and we're all like, boom, boom. We just keep singing it over and over again. I got a lot of questions for you. But how about you play the thing live? Let's do it.

Okay, for everybody listening, this is Aaron Goodvin, who's in the studio right now, who just sent a little sign to my office and was like, hey, this is my song. I'm not asking you to play it on your show, but if you want to throw on the dance party, it kind of fits the vibe. And I said, okay, well, let's see. We did it. People loved it.

I love the song now. This is called Lonely Drum from Aaron Goodvin. All right, Aaron, when you're ready. I'm beating on my lonely drum. Girl, don't you want to come over? I'm halfway through. Chardonnay and I don't plan on Staying sober

Well you can bring your hair guitar don't let this night get any older Eating on my lonely drum Girl don't you want to come over Boom so get on That's awesome man Aaron Goodvin That's lonely drum

I mean I don't know sometimes people You sound just like the record Like that's not, that doesn't always happen You know But doesn't it's that. Well, thank you. Sounds amazing. Aaron Goodvin's here, who's written songs, by the way, for Luke Bryan, John Party,

Cole Swindell, Josh Grayson. So he's a songwriter, obviously. Winner of the CCMA songwriter of the year, seven-time CCMA nominee. When you go to Canada, are they just like, there's Aaron? I can't go to malls. Isn't that just so wild? Like, here, I think you're working at the mall. And then I come to America and they're like, yeah, exactly.

They're like, can I get this in a different size, man? That's got to be the weirdest thing to go somewhere and be wildly popular. It's, I mean, it has its perks. I'm not going to lie, it's great. But, you know, it's, there's a common theme for me that, like, when I go, it's very humbling to play shows in the U.S. When, like, people come up and you're, like, playing your song and lonely German, they're like, can you play wagon wheel? Like, please. And so, but then, you know, I go up to Canada, and it's just like this, it's just like a treat every time I go up there.

I would never leave Canada. I would just be where I'm celebrated. I would be like, oh, this is a little. it you know it's funny i you know my dream was always to be uh like was always to move to nashville and like be as big as i possibly could be and um so when the canada thing came along i met a guy who got me a record deal on war music canada up there and i literally my my first song was kind of like a top 50 thing and then the next thing was the top 10 the next thing after that was lonely drum and then now we go up a play you know of almost a full set of songs that people know and it's

the coolest thing in the world. But, you know, I love what I do, and I don't mind going out and playing, I just love to play for people. So anytime I can play a show, whether it's in U.S. or Canada, I'm just happy to do it. And I just love, this is just, this whole thing is so exciting. I'm just so excited. That's pretty cool, man. You're a percussion player, your home player. What's your name, sir? Casey. Casey, how are you? Good to see you. Casey's sitting on a box. I just want to let everybody know what's happening. And it's called a caron. It's a box. Would you mind slap in that a little bit? So that's, when you, if you hit the different parts of it and it makes like a bassier sound in the middle or kind of like a snarier

sound on top. Right? And so as they're playing, you know, I go boo, but you're doing the harmonies as well as drumming. Yes. Now the challenge is, can you sing the high harmony part without him singing his part? Oh, I've never been outside before. Possibly. Would you guys like to hear of these? Just a hook, just a chorus of it. There we go. Now do it with him here so they can hear them together now. Now, you guys together, go. I'm all boom, boom, boom. So get in, boom,

this dance for a year soon. Now I'll do the bass. All three of us, let's go. I'm going, boom, boom, boom. Get in a car and get going. Dance for a beer soon. Nice job, guys. We're a regular trio here.

I love it. Hey, great performance today. Great job for you too. That's tough to do without hearing it. But see how it fits together like a puzzle? When they do it together, it sounds like perfect. No, I wouldn't suggest you do that alone. Like, go out and do high harmonies by yourself.

That's kind of a weird show. Welcome to the show. I'm going to do just the high harmony parts of all your favorite songs. Aaron Goodvin, you guys check out Lonely Drum. He has a number one in Canada called You Are. Yeah. Here's a movie.

You are the best decision that I ever made. You are everything. He has a song called Boy Like Me that's currently a top 10 right now in Canada. I feel like we have a famous soccer player here Spain that everybody worships. And we're like, I don't know anything about soccer. That's such a good comparison.

Yeah, like Ronaldo is here. Okay, this will not be the last time we see you, Aaron, but I'd like to say, great job today. It's a lot, really fun. What's your guitar player's name here? This is Will. Will doesn't have a microphone. You just call Will.

I would like to point out I noticed Will's special guitar playing. Aaron would just do the normal strumming, right? No offense, but you're singing. No, I'm normal. It's cool. And then he was doing the fancy, well, let's give him a high, let's give him a little. Okay.

Can you play the solo will without Aaron? Here we go. Let's go. He said it's different. Let's hear like 15 seconds. You guys follow Aaron at Aaron J. Goodvin. Go follow him on Instagram. Aaron, good to see you.

Thanks for having me. This has been a lot of fun. We're going to play, again, this week in the dance party, right? We're going to put it up in there again. All right, there he is. Clive your hands one final time for Aaron. Thank you all. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

Finally, we found out if Lunchbox is actually one of Nashville's top 25 famous people. Hint, it did not go as he planned. That's all I'm going to say. So we're not even going to talk about it because I'll have lots of spoilers, right? So I want you guys to hear the bit if you hadn't heard it. And that'll come up after this. But you and I so often, I think we are the two people on the show, who watched the most television movies, period.

So we got a lot to share. I want to know what you've been watching, what you like, what people should watch, movies, TV shows, everything. Let's get down into that. The first one I have is a movie that I think you'll like because you, like me, are into all the superhero movies. Yes. And I think more so, you're kind of getting into the DC stuff, right?

Oh, yeah, I'm all of it. I think I was DC before I was Marvel because I didn't know Marvel existed. And then now I'm both, yes. So there's a movie I saw recently. They came out a few years ago, but it's called The Death of Superman. Okay. And it's animated, but it's probably the best DC movie I've ever seen. And in itself, it spoils what the movie's about because it's called The Death of Superman.

Yeah. But I think you would really enjoy it because it kind of made me excited about the superhero Superman again. Because I kind of feel like he's just the most popular one because he's the one everybody knows. You kind of forget how cool he is. Like he can fly. He can like shoot lasers from him. his eyes. And the movie, it's just so well done. And I think it's because since it is animated, it kind of takes away all like, what I don't like about some DC movies is there have so many

special effects and they look fake to me. And it's harder for me to connect with the story. But since this is animated, it kind of takes that barrier down and you're able just to kind of learn the story, follow along. And it's the best iteration I've ever seen of like the way Superman's story's been told. So I think you would actually really enjoy it. It, I don't know that everybody loves watching something animated in that kind of way, but I think it was just so good. And I was so excited after watching it that I wanted to tell everybody about it. Okay.

I will check it out. I am iffy on animated, which is weird because I love Pixar, right? But like that's not the same as animated. I don't know what the specific differences are, but they are different. In a way, yeah, there's certain different anime. Like there's some people just refer to them. it's a cartoon, but it's become so much more now of like how detailed it is and how it looks, that it's not just a cartoon. But I think if you sit down and watch it, you're like,

why am I going to watch a cartoon right now as an adult? But it's hardcore. There's violence. There's just so many great things about it that I think if you can get away from that, you know, barrier of watching something animated, you really like it. Is this arguably one of your favorite movies right now? Yeah. Okay. That I've seen recently, it's one of my favorites. Okay. You're making me enough to watch it. And my boyfriend loves, I mean, he's a huge nerd when it comes to comic books and everything.

So he loves watching animated things. Yeah, and it's based on, like, directly off a comic book. Okay. So we'll watch it. I actually think he brought it up to me. He's like, we knew watches. And I was like, I don't want to watch it. So I will.

I will watch this and report back. And it's only an hour and 20 minutes. So it's not like you're watching a two hour long animated movie. Oh, yeah. Okay. Animated movie. Even better. And speaking of animated, which I didn't think I was going to like,

but I have been, is the What-EF series. Have you been watching that? I started one episode, but wasn't fully into it yet. Yeah. So each, what-if is based on all the Marvels. It's on Disney Plus. And The Death of Superman is on...

HBO Max. Okay. They're like 30-minute episodes, and the Marvel that's animated, but it's based, each episode is different, and it's based on the multiverse, basically other things that could have happened. Like, the first episode, who else could have been Captain America? or what happens if Black Panther didn't become Black Panther. I love them.

Like, I really enjoy them. The latest episode was about zombies, which was crazy in Marvel World. And so far, I've really liked them. I think you would actually like them more than, more than you think.

It's on my list. So I'm excited that you like them. Yeah. It's good. They have like, I think they have like five episodes now, but it was really cool. The one that was really cool

was getting to hear Chadwick Boseman again. Because I think it's the last voicing. he did for Marvel before he passed. And I remember that episode playing, and I was like, wait, that's him. Like, that's the Black Panther. And I was like, that's so cool that he got that chance to do that as that Black Panther character one last time because we didn't think we were ever going to hear that again. Yeah, that's awesome.

So that was really cool. So definitely think you should enjoy it. And 30 minute episodes are not bad. You can just kind of intermingle with other things. That was good. What else you got on your list? Those are superhero things. Yeah.

We just, my wife and I just started Yellowstone. Okay. We're like two episodes in. And you like it? Yeah, we're trying to get caught up all the way to when the next season starts. So far we like it. It's not a show that I would see or read about it. I'd be like, I want to go watch that.

Yeah, it doesn't feel like a Mike DTV show to me. It doesn't. That's why she really wanted to watch it. So I was like, I'll give it a couple episodes and I got into it. It kind of reminds me a little bit of like Breaking Bad, but on a ranch. So I love Breaking Bad. bad. So if I kind of think of it in that aspect, I think I'll get into it later and I think it'll get good. Okay. So that's where you're trying to get into right now. Yeah, that's my trying to get

into. The thing about me, when I watch a lot of TV shows too, but when it comes to like talking about them and reviewing them, I get so like hesitant about spoilers. And people are like, that's a spoiler. That's a spoiler. There's so many things that you, that I don't feel are spoilers, but people claim their spoilers. Honestly, everything. this point could be a spoiler if you say anything. I know. But once it airs, you're kind of past that point. You shouldn't listen or watch anything if you are, if it's a live show that's out live

and it's happening once a week. Like you're going to see it. Just stay off social media or listening to things if you can't. So I get that though. But like what would be your top TV shows that you've watched this year? This year, I've really got into like. I like dramas that you're trying to, like mysteries, that you're trying to figure out what's happening.

So like mayor of Easttown was great. That's all I'll say about that one. Because you do enjoy that show not knowing what's going to happen and following along as the characters find out. That and then I also watch clickbait on Netflix, which is another thing you're trying to figure out what's happening. And I think why people get so mad about like spoilers for those because it's like, yeah, you're ruining what's happening

and you're taking away that enjoyment. for anybody trying to watch those shows. So those shows, when they're so good, you want to tell people why they're so good, but you also don't want to ruin the experience for them and liking them and learning everything. So did you end up ever trying to get into Manifest then? I didn't, but my wife watched all of it.

Okay, and you never got, that surprises me because it is all about mystery. Yes, and it's also, just from when she watched it, it reminded me of Lost, which I love Lost. Yes. but for some reason I couldn't get into it. It's I, okay, so we briefly brought it up on the show and I was like, you know what? It's kept, it's one of those shows that kept popping up on my Netflix thing.

And I was like, fine. I will just watch first episode and I'll see if I like it. And I binge watch all three seasons in a week. That's impressive. A week because I liked it so much. And people were like really upset because they're like, well, it's not coming back, but it is. They renewed it for its like fourth and final season through Netflix. Mike, I'm telling you, you have to try and get into it.

It was really good. There are cheesy moments. I'll admit that. I mean, just like every, you know, TV show, whatever. There were cheesy moments. But, like, overall, you were suspended like every episode. You're like, okay, I have to watch the next one because something's happening. And it's like you're figuring it out.

It's like a scavenger hunt is how I'm going to say without saying anything else. Yeah. See, that sounds like something I'm into. I think you would really like it. And did your wife like it? She did. Well, she liked it. enough to finish it. Okay. And then she's going to watch the fourth season. I don't think she would,

she would classify it as her favorite show. Yeah, no. But like you, she wanted to keep watching every single episode and saw it all the way through. Yeah. I get, do you ever get to a point with TV shows when you watch, when you binge something on Netflix and the new episodes come out and then you never watch the new episode. Yeah. I do that often. Even shows that I like really like, I got to a point to where I was like, oh yeah, that had a whole other season I didn't finish. I know, because it's like you binge it up into that point and then you're like, okay, you moved on from that binge and you're like, okay, well, I can't get back into it. I was already in it for like four weeks. Yeah. So I find myself doing that a lot. But sometimes I'll go back in. Lucifer is one of them. They just drop new

episodes for season six and Lucifer has been a consistently good show. I don't know if you ever got into that. That's superhero s. It's through the DC universe, but. No, I never got into that one. He's the devil. He's Lucifer. Mm-hmm. He's the devil. The only show I remember that we stopped watching and went back to watching it and, like, we're excited that we went back to watch it was the morning show on Apple. Oh, yeah, that's great. And we got maybe like two episodes into it and we're like, oh, this is a little heavy. Like, I don't want to watch this right now.

It got back into it, like, probably a year later, and it all caught up and excited for the next season. Yeah, and that's dropping, um, did it draw those weekend? Yeah. Yeah, I was going to say, I was like, I need to watch that. That's a good one. And Ted Lasso. Yeah. Great one.

I'm trying to think of any others, TV shows for people to watch out there. Did you watch all of the, like, I know you watch Wanda Vision. Did you watch Falcon and the Winter Soldier? And Loki. And Loki. The three.

And then Hawkeyes coming. That's coming soon. The four of the end of the year. Yeah, this year. Out of all those, I still like Wanda Vision the best. I felt like it was the most unique. And I love the character vision.

Like, I thought his role in the Avengers was a little bit, Like underrated. Like he was such a great superhero. And I know Age of Ultron is kind of seen as like the worst Avengers movie. But I went back and watched that movie pretty recently. And I love that one. Like after watching Wanda Vision, I went back and watched that to kind of remember all how those characters came to be.

And I think that's why I ended up loving that show so much because it kind of made me go back and realize like, oh, he was such a big part of the Avengers and that whole story. And it's such a great character that I love that show. Mm-hmm. I'm with you. It was a great show. I still plan to be the final Scarlet Witch for Halloween. Oh, really? That's still my plan, but costumes for that are like $200. So I got to find a way that's like to do it cheaper. But yeah, that was a good show. Okay, we always find ourselves back to the superhero stuff. So top three super movie, superhero movies of all time.

Okay. This is a hard one. And number three, I would probably go Avengers Infinity. War. Oh, over Endgame. Yeah. See, Endgame was great because it was

the end of everything, every single Marvel movie before that led up to that moment. But as a movie in itself, I don't think that's the strongest movie. I think Infinity War, the movie that came before, it was the best one

because it was how that story came together and learning about Thanos and all the emotions in that movie. I felt like End Game was kind of the epilogue of that, like the falling action of that movie. And in Infinity War, you're like, man, like, how are you going to beat Thanos? Like, how did they get to the situation?

It's just so crazy to watch and it's just an entire battle throughout the entire movie that I just think it's a stronger movie. Okay, fair. Now that you've explained it, 100% fair. And while I loved Endgame and it's, you can never make a movie like that again, like a movie that ends an entire chapter of movies. Like that's never going to happen again. Mm-hmm.

But I still think Infinity War was better. I hear you. I can see it. I don't agree with you, but I can see it. I can see it. Okay. What about number two? Number two, I would go Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse.

Oh, yeah, you love that one. Yeah. Spider-Man is my favorite superhero out of all of them. He's always been since I was a kid. And I think that was the best telling and kind of portrayal of Spider-Man of like, oh, it's a fun character. you can have all these Spider-Man existing in all these different, you know, universes. And it was just such a cool take.

And also just visually, like to make, again, back to animated movies. Like that made that movie like so much better and kind of like, I think just critically was well received and just that story is awesome in that movie. And it's just so cool to watch. And one that I think out of every superhero movie made will be the one people go back and be like, oh, that's like one you should watch. It stands apart from all the other Marvel movies. So I think that's just been my favorite.

Well, and I think with Spider-Man, they had to have something that stood out so differently because there's so many universes of Spider-Man that you had to have something that just put it above the rest. And that's what it did. And it's one that doesn't get compared to all the other ones. Like, they don't compare it to the Toby McGuire ones. They don't compare it to now Tom Holland. It's just its own movie in its own world.

And it is what it is. Yeah. I agree. Okay. And number one. And number one, my favorite superhero movie of all time. My favorite movie of all time is The Dark Night. Oh, we have the same number one.

Yeah. Yes, okay. And that's because that really changed how people perceived superhero movies. It changed the way everything is done now because it took the comic book character of Batman, but modernized them into like real life situation, made it dark and gritty in a way that everybody's tried to replicate now. Like to get like a good superhero movie like that's what people try to do and everything about that movie is perfect from the start to the finish. I think it has the best opening sequence of any movie I've ever seen the best villain with the Joker.

And Heath Ledger and yeah, Heath Ledger. And then it's just a movie that at any point when you watch it like every scene is important to it. Like I could hop in at any point and be like, oh, this this scene is great. Like every scene is great. So it's a perfect movie. It's a perfect comic book movie and easily the best one of all time. I'm so with you. I'm so glad we have the same number one.

I mean, that that whole trill, another word I can't say, trilogy. Trilogy. Trilogy. There it is. It's really good. Like just in general, really good. But the dark night was worlds above different because, and for me, Christian Bill will always be my favorite Batman. Like seeing Ben Affleck.

after him be Batman was hard for me because I loved Christian Vale as Batman. I thought he did that role so well. And I know that's a controversial opinion, but I loved him in that role. And that Dark Night movie, just like you said from start to finish was had you so captivated that when it was over, you're like, dang, I don't want it to be over. And that's really hard to do with movies. By the time it's over, you're like, okay, that makes sense. But that one, I was like, I want more.

I need more of this. Like, this was so good. And yeah, you can watch it on repeat. A movie's really good when you know you can watch it on repeat and always love it. Especially if it's ever on TV when we used to like have cable and that was a common thing. It would be on TV and you're like, I have to watch it. That's how I know like that's a favorite movie of mine and that was always one of them. Even if I was in like not a place to watch a dark movie, I'd still watch it.

Like it was that good. I had Avengers in Game at number two and I know you'll argue with me on that because I didn't know how you feel about it. I loved it because that was cool for me to get to see everything come together of a universe. I didn't even know existed for majority of my life. And then to watch them all in succession and then see that after was just like a mind-blowing film moment for me. Because I was like, wow, they've planned this for so many years. I had no idea it existed. And then, you know, the scene where they all come together and Falcons like, on your left.

And then they all appear through all the rings and you're like, what is happening? I love that. Probably one of the greatest moments in cinematic history. And Avengers Asimble finally comes to its head, right? He says Avengers a symbol and you're like, oh my gosh, yes. I wasn't even in theaters when that happened in high. I'm getting goosebumps even talking about that scene. So I love, love that movie. And then Captain America and the Winter Soldier is my number three. Great action, great plot, everything about that movie I love. And I watch that one pretty consistently still. Like if I need something to watch, that I know what's happening and I'm just like chilling with TV on the background.

I put that movie on. It's so good to me. It was such a really good storyline for Captain America, for Falcon, for the Winter Soldier. I mean, so many different characters that you met in there that you weren't anticipating meeting and like learning about. So I really love that movie. That's a big favorite of mine that kind of goes under the radar a lot. Yeah. For some reason, I never gravitated towards Captain America.

as much as other people do. I know he's like your favorite superhero, right? Yeah, he's definitely up there, him and Captain Marvel. Yeah. Mm-hmm. And I get it, though, because he's like the basic one to pick, right? Like, he's Captain America. He literally has America in his name.

So he's like the one to gravitate towards. But I don't know. I just connected with those movies really well because they were so different. Like what was hard for me with Iron Man, and I still loved them because they were the OG ones, but they were so similar that, You're getting the same kind of vibes, but with like the first Captain American movie, you're like old time. Second one, you're meeting somebody from his past that you don't know is from his past until it happens.

And then there hasn't been, but then like we're now getting into this other. There's a Civil War one, which is hard for people to watch because it's Iron Manverse. Oh, see, that was my favorite one. Yeah. Well, hard for some people to watch, but I love them. Again, another movie that's different. Like each of his movies and his sequence are so different from each other. And then now this fourth one is going to be with the Falcon and that whole storyline, which I'm so excited about.

So like, I think I love it so much because they're all so different. And they changed it up. So it wasn't just Captain America, beating people up every time, you know? Yeah. So that's probably why. But okay. Last thing. Reboots.

Have you been watching any reboots that you like? I don't really like. You don't like reboots? Yeah. I feel like it never really. I get the idea of reboots. reboots of like cashing in on something that people loved when they were younger or like that everybody just kind of sees it like oh that was so good let's have a reboot let's bring it back I've just

never watched a reboot that gave me that same feeling or was up to that same quality fair very fair and there's not a lot of reboots I like but I do like the gossip girl reboot okay did you ever watch the original gossip girl no but I've seen a couple episodes of the reboot they're all just making out all the time. I think I like it because it's show it's they didn't reboot with the same characters. They did something a little different and that they just kind of used the plot line, but like updated it to modern times. So I think what I like about is that I'm getting to see Gossip Girl with social media.

Because Gossip Girl was such at the time when it broke, the TV show was so foreign of a concept, like the idea of a blog of people using that to like cyber bully people, all very new. and now it's like watching the show integrate with what is actually happening in modern society which social media is such a big deal about. I think that's why I like it so much because of like my side to digital media or whatever. I could see that. Yeah. So I think that's why because I do.

There's moments I'm like this is really cheesy and I won't like it. And then I'm excited for the Sex and City reboot. That's what I'm excited about. I was going to say of all the reboots that came to mind, I have seen every episode of Sex in the City. And you like it? Yes. I've seen all the episodes and I've also seen both movies. So when I saw that one get announced, I was like, okay, I'm going to watch that.

So that is a reboot you will watch. That is one I'll watch. I don't know. I feel like that one has the most chance of, like, actually working now. Well, they did take all of the characters and they're all grown up and they're all in a different life and the kids are grown up and everything. I see all the set pictures and I'm like, what? Like, I'm already excited about it just seeing the set pictures. Yeah.

Oh, another one just came to mind. I did watch the I Carly reboot, and I like that a lot. Yeah, I'm with you. I forgot about that one. It's one of those that I can keep on in the background. I'm not like super dedicated to it. And I think the reason that would work is because they made it for the fans of the original show and kept like their age now.

They didn't make it for kids. Like it's literally them dealing with things now. They curse sometimes. And it's real like adult situation. So it's seeing them from when they were kids to how they would be now. Yeah. And it's basically like me. like now.

So I think that's why I like that one so much. Yeah, their personalities are still the same, just grown up. Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you. Yeah, so there's some, there are some good rebuts. Okay, there are some. Some, not all. We judged them accordingly.

Oh, man. Okay, well, thank you for all the updates on the movies, TV shows. We probably just gave everybody a bunch of different things to check out. Yeah, there's a lot there. It's a weekend. You can watch everything, and if you need stuff for a few weekends, there you go. We just loaded you up on things. Yeah.

And the reason we talk about that, mostly because Mike D and I both love movies and TV shows. But Mike, you have a podcast. You want to show them what it's about or tell them where to find it? I have a podcast, movie Mike's movie podcast where I do a lot of film history. I also do interviews with like actors and directors. It's just every single week I talk about the thing I'm most passionate about, which is movies. And I also do spoiler-free reviews of all like the new movies that come out. So I'll break down whether or not you just spend money going to the theaters to watch.

it or depending on what streaming service you have. Oh my gosh. You just made me think of something because you talked about this on one of your your podcast is Shang Chi. Oh, yes. That is a favorite superhero. I should have added that. That is one of my favorite superhero movies of all time now.

Yeah, that was an unexpectedly really great movie. So good. Because it's a superhero that as big of a comic book fan that I am, I really knew nothing about the character, but they were able to tell the origin story unlike any other because it's not so much of like, oh, here's this new character, here's all these things. It's like you learn kind of backwards in the movie. Yeah.

And just with the action of like how well they choreographed all the fight scenes, it is a beautiful movie to put it like in simple terms. Action, fantasy, like kind of romance, like just crazy things in it that I was not expecting. And funny. Yes. Like so, oh, so good. Also, I love, I think her name's Aquafina. Agafina, yeah.

Love her. I've always loved her since crazy, rich Asians. But so good. That's an underrated one, and I definitely think everybody should be watching that. Because I didn't get near the marketing. It's the lowest marketed Marvel movie, right? Yeah, but it made a bunch of money. Yes, which I think is also so cool.

I love an underdog. Yeah. So, yeah, that one. And you reviewed that on your podcast. Yeah. That's what made me think about. You were talking about that. I was like, I know he reviewed that.

Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, it's not always superhero movie. on the podcast. I literally watch every single kind of movie that comes out and talk about it. Yes, all the movies. We just like talking about all the supergirls. It's our time to geek out together is what it is. All right. Well, make sure you all check that out. And right now, here is Lunchbox going to see if he is, you know, going to get recognized by a tour bus and possibly be one of the top 25 famous people in Nashville.

Number one. It's the segment we've all been waiting for. Drumroll, please. We're now going to see if Lunchbox is one of the top 25 most famous people in country music, which he claims. So Lunchbox claims to be a celebrity. Absolutely. Top 25 in Nashville, very popular. Everywhere you go, you get recognized. People want pictures, autographs, things like that. This all began with a video we saw of Dwayne, the Rock Johnson. He pulled up next one of those tourist buses. And he goes, anybody's seen the Rock? This is kind of funny. There's a tour bus here. It always tours through my neighborhood. Hey, you guys know where I can find the rock?

And so lunch, Michael claimed this would happen to him if he did this here in town. Because there are in Nashville a lot of these, you know, get on. We'll show you where celebrities record music, country music stars used to live, that kind of thing. Yeah, we'll show you the bars. We'll show you everything about the city. And, you know, maybe you'll run into a celebrity. So we linked up with a local sightseeing tour bus in Nashville called Grayline, Tennessee. And Scoob, tell me how you orchestrated this.

this, like describe where he was standing, what the bus did, that kind of thing. So the plan was to have two different sets of teams. I was with Lunchbox, record video and get audio. And then I sent up Abby, our phone screener, and Kevin, who works behind the scenes. And they put them on the bus to do video and audio. Oh, they were on the bus. They were on the bus planted as people who are tourists. Nice.

So he can get audio reaction if there was or wasn't any. And he couldn't claim one way or the other that something did or didn't happen. Exactly. So I had two different teams to verify. Okay. I like what I'm seeing here. So lunchbox you're standing on the street? I'm standing on the street.

And see, what we did is there was no real safe spot, like, where I could stand. So it was right where they loaded the bus. So right before they're about to take off is when this went down. And are you feeling confident? I'm feeling great. Did you have to, like, hide so they wouldn't rush you before? Oh, yeah, because they were all sitting outside the bus beforehand. So I had to stand down the street.

Like, I didn't want people to see me because then the bus would be late taking off and it would ruin the whole thing because they would see me beforehand. So I came walking up once everybody's on. It's like four minutes so they're going to depart. But they're sitting on the bus. They're all sitting on the bus. And it was a nice, beautiful, sunny day. So it wasn't like people were in the bus.

They were on top. And so I was like, yep, here we go. And I came striding up and my chest puffed out. I was like, yeah, buddy. I don't know how this plays out because even on the sheet here, it says clip one, it'll be paying off the bit. Okay. So do people recognize him one final time? Yes or no?

You say no, just in general. I mean, I'm just going to go with, yeah, no. It doesn't happen for him. I say yes, like maybe four or five people. I'm going to be like, oh my gosh, that's lunchbox. That's crazy. Okay. I say no.

I do say no. Okay. Let us hear the clip of Lunchbox walking up to the bus. Are they sitting with windows open? No, no, it's an open top. It's like the top has been cut off. So they see you, you see them. I see them.

They see me. They see the celebrity walking up. All right, here we go. And here is the clip. Hey, you got nowhere I can find Lunchbox. Hey, you guys know where I can find lunchbox? Don't worry, I'll wait. You can take pictures.

Yeah, if you can just show me where lunchbox, yeah, that's me. Good to see you guys. I mean, I don't think the Rock could go, yeah, it's me. It was so awkward. The Rock did not have to say it twice. It sounds like the bus is empty, but that's just nobody making a noise. Right. Here's the problem.

They're scared probably. No, no, no, no. Did you hear how loud that bus was? I don't know. Oh, Scova's yelling. What, Stuba? That's crap. Come on.

We had some audio on the bus. There's another clip here. We got a faint reaction from somebody if you want to hear that. Oh, okay. I love a good reaction. Okay, here is somebody reacting to lunchbox going, hey, anybody see lunchbox?

Lunchbox is the place. He says maybe lunchbox is a place. That was my concern. That's how small the reaction was. They heard him, they saw him, he was there for a solid 25 seconds, nothing. Can I hear him again? Because I really, his lunchbox is part.

Because he says it, he thinks maybe they just didn't hear me. He says it again. Here we go. Hey, you guys know where I can find Lunchbox? Hey, you guys know where I can find lunchbox?

Don't worry, I'll wait. You can take pictures. Yeah. If you can just show me where lunchbox, yeah, that's me. Good to see you guys. How did you walk away? With my head held high.

I mean, everybody took their pictures. I just walked back. Who took a picture? All those people take a picture. Did a single person take a picture, Scuba? No. No, we took a picture. Like, what is he seen in his mind?

Yes. Like, this is, I think this answer's a lie. No, no, here's the problem. You're not right. No problem. No, no, there is a problem. On that bus, there was a bunch of 85-year-old people, okay? And so the target demographic wasn't exactly what I was expecting.

I was expecting people to be hip and in the know. These people had no idea. They wouldn't know if the president walked out there. They'd be like, no, he's in their wheelhouse. You're right. You know what I'm saying? They wouldn't know the rock either because they, They were so old.

Thanks to Deb at Greyline, Tennessee. Book your tour when you come to Nashville at grayline t.n.com. And if you need a black car service or charter, grayline tn.com. How many people were on that bus? I don't know. 20, 25. Oh, my gosh. Wow.

That's a lot. I feel like people got quieter because they were scared. It's some random guy. And here's the other problem. Here's the other problem. They weren't ready for it. They weren't on the tour yet. They were still on, you know, they hadn't started.

So if you're so famous, it doesn't matter what I mean. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It's a bite of a waterburger. No, they were sitting there looking at their phones. So they weren't expecting it. If like, they were like, oh, you know, here comes the rocks out. Oh, there's the rock. You know what I mean? Because Rock even said, they're not expecting it driving down the street with the rock. Because they said, the Rock said, they're in my neighborhood. So they are even saying, we're approaching the Rock's out. I'm just saying there was a lot of flaws in this study.

Okay, so we basically needed the bus to drive by the radio station. Oh, yeah, a radio station is fine. Well, I guess we see now. The lunchbox... I mean, just listen. If you play it one more time, I think you hear someone. Hey, you all know where I can find lunchbox. Hey, you guys know where I can find lunchbox?

Don't worry, I'll wait. You can take pictures. Yeah. If you can just show me where lunchbox, yeah, that's me. Good to see you guys. I don't hear anything. I didn't hear anything. I think we'll wrap it up on that.

Okay. I mean, that's funny. Hey, good to see you guys. Well, so this solves it. You can no longer claim to you. No, for the next week, you got to call me top 25. No, that was the deal. Nobody reacted.

You're not famous. No, that was the deal. The deal was if someone reacted, we'd call you top 25. Yeah, that guy reacted. Did you not hear him saying? I know, he said, I think it's a place. That was the bushelming the door, but that was a handle. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.
