Anthony DePippo showed no signs of remorse, appearing unfazed after being sentenced to the maximum. I said, I'm not guilty. I'll take it to the grave. Listen to the devil's quarry in the Bone Valley feed on the IHart Radio app. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, listen up. The Jonas Brothers here.

Our podcast is called Hey Jonas. We're here since everyone has a podcast, we want it to as well. And we've had some incredible guests so far. And now our good friend, Nile Horn, is joining the show. How's it going, boys? Hey, Niall. It was the same thing with Slow Hands. Slow Hands is not about anything else, really, is it?

You know, or taste so good can't be about food. You do the same, Nick, with some of the stuff that you've done. You too, Joe. Drop what you're doing and listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts. Everyone sees me as a football player, but before anything else, I'm human. Every single day I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships, emotions ever since I was born. This isn't a normal podcast. Everything here is spontaneous, real and genuine, just honest conversations about what it means to be alive.

I'm Javier El Chicharito Hernandez and listen to Learning to Be Human on IHard Radio, Apple Podcasts, or whatever you get your podcast. I'll do all my rehearsals in a weighted best because sometimes my outfits weigh like 10 to 15 pounds. And when I've done the performance, I'm like, oh, I am not in shape for this.

Today's guest is one of the biggest stars in country music and one of my favorite artists, Megan Maroney, billions of streams, so many number one songs with songs like Tennessee Orange. Am I okay? Jam. She just dropped her brand new album, Cloud 9, which obviously debuted at number one. And she's about to hit the road on her massive Cloud 9 tour. And somewhere in the middle of all that, she's writing songs. She leads the ACM Awards nominations this year with nine nominations, including Entertainer of the Year.

Big fan, awesome artist. Here she is, Megan Maroney. Megan, good to see you. Good to see you. I wanted to start. This is a little bit selfish of me, but I get a lot. of emails asking for advice to me. Okay. I give the same answers over and over. It feels like.

So you want to do some of these with me? Sure. Thank God. What if I was just like, no? Then we would just move on. We would literally just move on. I'm down. I'm down.

Okay. Let's go with the first one here. Hey, Bobby, I'm a 23-year-old singer-songwriter living in a small town in North Carolina. I've been writing songs since high school and playing local coffee shops and bars on the weekends. I've saved up a little money. Nashville has always been a dream, but making that leap feels terrifying.

What advice would you give me? Sign girl with the guitar. I think all good things are terrifying at first. And I would say, if I'm in your position, that's kind of like where I was at in Athens, like when I was playing at bars and, like, I was scared to move to Nashville, but I just felt like I needed to. It was like a gut thing. And I knew that I also moved to town knowing, like, this could not work. So, but I don't want to die without trying.

So that would be my advice. Would just be to do it. Give it your all. And I would say also try to build as annoying as it is. Try to build a following on socials and post your original songs and stuff and build a fan base that way. So then when you move to Nashville, maybe you'll have a couple people show up at writer genres or whatever you get into. I have a friend that is thinking about changing careers and he hit me up a couple days ago. He said, hey, when should I do this?

and I said, well, you can either do it now or in six months, you'll be in the same position going, when should I do this? And then you can either do it then, or in six months. And then before you know it, two years have gone by and you haven't done crap. And you're going, man, when should I have done this? And like if you physically can do it.

Right. Like do it now because what happens is even if you make mistakes when you do it, you actually get to learn on those mistakes rather than just in action, would you get to learn nothing. That was kind of my reasoning to my parents too when I wanted to move.

because it was during COVID. So my parents were trying to be like, there's no point for you to spend your money in rent in Nashville when like nothing's happening. And I told my parents, I'm like, well, nothing's going to happen here in Covington, Georgia. So that's for certain. But you don't know it's going to happen.

Like, I could at least maybe make friends, write with people like you don't know. So, yeah, I would say good things are scary. Yeah, do it. If you're watching us on Netflix right now, I'm looking at the camera, do it. Move if you can afford it. Yeah.

But even if you can't, you can figure it out. right? Like people move here and get jobs. There's weird ways to make money in Nashville. But not not weird weird, just weird. Yeah, yeah, not weird. Not weird weird. Just weird. Let's just go one weird. You can do it. We believe in you. Next up. Hey, Bobby, I've heard it's uncool to wear an artist's merch to their own concert. Is that actually a thing? Because I feel like I want to wear it. What's your official ruling, cool or not cool, to wear an artist's merch to their own concert? Super cool. I think so. Super cool if it's like an old tour too.

You have something not everyone at this place can have. Also, if you want to go and buy a shirt and then put it on. Do it. My fans do that 100%. Like, I look out and it looks like an army of camo. And it's just, yeah, it's like they don't even worry about their outfit. They just put on the shirt when they get there. So I love it.

And in the end, who gives a crap what other people think about what you're wearing? Yeah. Dumb. And like that artist, you're at their show. I can tell you from an artist's point of view, they love it. I love seeing like a lucky shirt. I'm like, oh, wow, you've been around for a while. Do you ever see any really cool old merch that you haven't seen in a long time

and somebody's wearing it? Yeah, during the, like, my EP Pistam Made a Roses era, there's this, like, sparkly denim jacket with, like, a picture of me that I took on, like, an iPhone. And there was only, like, a few of those made, but they were sold for, like, $100, bucks, which back then was like, I couldn't believe anybody would spend $100 on me. And, yeah, there's a couple of them floating out there. Do you remember any of those, we'll call them Day Oneers, who were fans of you before you had really popped?

Yeah. I have like a notes app of my fans and my phone. Not like all of them, obviously. Well, now that'd be a tough app to keep. But yeah, but like at the beginning is. But yeah, no. And like I remember, like some of these girls too at my meet and greets, like I've met them. like several times, like, to the point of where, like, I know what's going on in their lives

and stuff. So it's like, we would definitely be friends. We are friends. I started a long time ago, like, taking questions for people, like, helping out. Basically, I come from the streets. Obviously, look at me. Nobody's more street than me. So I started to, like, just give advice randomly. I bet, though, in your DMs, there's probably a lot of people constantly asking you questions, too, right? I don't go there too often. It's a scary dark place. That's the right answer. Scary dark place. I only go on Tuesdays. Oh, Tuesdays?

The comments or DMs, I only go on Tuesdays. Because it's brutal. Oh, yeah. And you can be as conditioned, you can be as callous as you. But if you didn't eat right that day, if you're sad about something else and you see a comment that catches you just wrong. Right. Even me, who has dealt with all of it in all capacities, like it sucks. So I give myself Tuesdays as like my cheat day, like when I, you know, I'm really,

like I'm working out for something. Tuesdays is a day when I go in and I read the comments. So Wednesday's just horrible. You wake up Wednesday pissed off. It's a good point. That's a good point. I hate Tuesdays. Monday night comes.

You start sweating. I didn't think about getting nervous for Tuesdays and then the effect of after Tuesdays. Usually by the time I go to bed, because it's like a cheat day. Like if I was doing a TV show or something, I would really want to get in shape because I did feel like it put weight on me to be on. camera. And so I would like hyper-focus, but then on my cheat day, I wouldn't even cheat that bad. Yeah. But the fact that I just allowed myself that would keep me from going crazy. And so some Tuesdays I don't even go to the comments. Wow. It's all for straight. What is your rule? Do you go to comments? You know, this is an interesting question because it's been really relevant lately to me.

I'm obviously in tour prep, you know, like doing all the things physically. And I had this like epiphany the other day, where it's like, just like I am disciplined about my, like, physical prep, my mental prep has to be just as important. And so stuff like reading the comments, like, I actually have to, like, not do it. Like, you just can't. And when I, if I, if I do see something, like, I have to tell my brain that can't affect you today. You have to, you can't, like, dwell on it and let it, like, fester. And then you think about it. It's like to be, I'm disciplined physically, now have to be disciplined mentally. Even if I saw that, I've also, like, gone to therapy enough to where I know how to, like,

not carry that and stuff. But it's more so been, like, a, that can't affect me today. So I'm going to move on, you know? So I really just, yeah, I don't have a Tuesday rule or anything. But in my head, too, it's like 99% of the time for me, it's going to be bad. So I'm just like, I don't need to know. Screw you all. Yeah.

The point one, one. the 0.01% screw y'all. I agree. Screw y'all. Yeah, it sucks, but what I've talked about a lot in therapy as well, I came from therapy straight here. I wasn't talking about that.

That'd have been weird if I was talking about that today. I wasn't. But what I try to do now too is instead of on Tuesday, just focusing on the negative ones, which I really, it's what I'm searching for on Tuesday, is like I try to spend time on the positive ones, like commenting back to the positive ones.

Because I neglect the comment section. Right. Because it's not good for my mental health. It's a weird thing, right? Because you would think, I would think you would be, you're good. It didn't bother you. Nothing bothers you. Yeah.

That's what the normal person would think. And I think, like, most days I can let it not bother me. But obviously, there's some days where you just, like, feel like shit and you kind of agree with them. And you're like, fuck. I know. So I'm saying, if I don't eat right or something, absolutely. Right. If I'm off, my blood sugar's off.

Right. Something's wrong. I think it's just, yeah. What I've learned, though, is just like you can't, it requires discipline to not look, and you just have to not look. All right, I got a couple more. This is fun. I love that you're doing this.

It saves me a lot of effort. All right, next up. Hey, Bobby, I have a full-time marketing job. I'm also chasing creative dreams, but I feel like I'm exhausted constantly. I think I'm starting to burn out. How do you handle burnout? How do you handle burnout? How do you handle burnout?

I don't ever allow myself to say, I'm burnt out. I think it's once again, like, I think your mind creates a narrative and it can become real in your head. Like, your mind is a scary place. So you have to, like, my burnt out, like, even right now, I'm not really writing songs right now because I'm trying to de-stimulate my world right now. And I guess you could call that burnout if that's how you looked at it. But for me, It's like, I'm, I just need to like chill out for a second. And you, I think as a creative person, if you tell yourself I'm burnt out, then you think, like, am I never going to write a good song again?

Am I never going to do anything good again? Like, your brain just, like, can't go there. So I think, like, burnout is just like, you probably just need to breathe. And why don't you just, like, chill for a second, do something else, stop putting so much pressure on yourself and it'll come naturally. Because that's always, I feel like I've never been in a, what do they call it, like a writer's block. I've never had riders block.

because I don't, if I'm not feeling creative that day, that's just because, like, we don't, I don't even know where songs come from, you know what I mean? Like, you'll just write one day and you just get this idea and you're like, how the hell did I come up with that? And it just comes and then you don't know where it came from. And then maybe next day it doesn't come and that's okay. So it's kind of just like not putting pressure on yourself. Because obviously, I mean, if you're writing out, I'm in a creative block, then you're like, oh, fuck, I'm not going to like, I'm not going to be able to be creative anymore. I'm feeling so stuck. And it's like, no, that's your mind telling you that.

Perhaps you should just go do it. something. Touch grass, breathe. Touch grass for sure. Yeah. Take a break. Yeah. But don't put pressure on yourself to get back. For me, the greatest comes when I'm bored. It's so hard to be bored though whenever you have an active mind

and an active professional lifestyle. If I can be bored, if I can find time to be bored, which is a weird thing to do. If I can schedule boredom. Yeah. And then your mind starts just flowing with things that like you have time to actually be creative then worry, you're spending that time worrying about why you're not being creative.

So yeah, I always tell any of my songwriters and stuff too. Like, if we're in the room and I'm just not feeling it today, then like, that's okay. That doesn't mean we suck. That just means like it's not happening today. Perhaps it'll happen tomorrow. Maybe it won't. Maybe it'll happen in a week. There are two times where I feel like I can even check out during the day.

We have a sauna at the house. Oh, love that. If my phone goes in, it overheats. Right. You can't have your phone. And that sucks. And you're forced. to drink water. Yeah. Yeah, that's two things. Yep, you're right. So when I go into the sauna,

that's one. The shower is always good because I can't have a phone in the shower, so I can't get too hot. It's all phone related. That's what's crazy. It's all phone related. Got to put your phone down. Yep, the sauna, the shower, and the baby. If I'm holding the baby, I can't be on the phone. Yep. That's where my mind does get to flow. So I think my advice, too, is take a break because that will be so beneficial to you in the areas you're worried about doing more in because if you just keep pushing, you're not going to create. Yeah. As much as you would if you took a break.

I used to fall the way about sleeping. Do you sleep well? I sleep great. You do? One thing that, yeah, I do do well is sleep. I could fall asleep right now sitting like this probably. Has that always been the case? Yeah.

So you have clear conscious. Is that what that means? I mean, probably partially, mostly. Yeah, I struggle with sleep and I find that because I would just go, I'm not enough sleep. Same thing too. I would say it so much that I think it would also start to manifest, just like you're talking about if you say you're burnt out. Yeah. I'm like, I'm not sleeping good. And I think it did actually make me sleep worse that I wasn't sleeping good. Right. I like sleep so much to the point where like I'm really bad at watching movies because

if it's dark, I'll fall asleep. Oh, really? Yeah. That's called narcolepsy, Megan. I don't know if that's, I'm like, but I'm like, if we're like just in a living room, I'm like, hey, can you turn the lights up? If I had a natural sleep pattern, because mine is so jacked up, now because I started working the morning so early in my life. And baby, probably. Well, my wife crushes that. Like, she knows my job's a bit weird. And I'm probably not always going to make all the money that I make now.

So she's very, like, sensitive to the fact of do your job. I'll take care of this stuff. Do your job. That's nice. It's awesome. Yeah, right. Like, I'm so fortunate there. But I wake up, you know, wake up at three or four in the morning.

I try to go to bed at nine or so. but my normal body clock is go to bed at four in the morning and wake up at noon or 1 p.m. Wow. That's my natural cycle. And if I'm off for a few days, like on vacation, especially when I was single, that's what happened. Yeah. I would stay up until almost the sun came up. Wow.

I don't think I've ever stayed up like until like 6 a.m. in my life. I'm not even doing anything cool. It's not like I'm partying or anything. Like I would just stay up, you know, watching Netflix or something. So, yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy. All right. I got two more.

Hey, Bobby, I'm 25. I feel like I'm at the stage of life where everyone else seems to have it together and constantly questioning every decision that I make. I am career-wise, where I want to live, what I'm doing next. How do I trust my gut when there are so many opinions coming out of me? Have you ever made a decision you weren't 100% sure about? 25 is super young, by the way. I'm 28, and I even sometimes I'm like, what am I doing?

but I would say it's one of those things where you just got to take action. Like whatever your gut is saying the loudest. Like even for me, like I let's think about me like moving to Nashville. This was like right after college during COVID. I'm like, should I move or are my parents right? I usually always listen to my parents. So I'm like maybe my parents have something with this like stay at home and then move like after COVID's over whenever that's going to be.

But I was like, you know what? I'm just going to move. And if I hate it and nothing happens. six months. I gave myself like six months. Then I'll move back and say that at least I did it. And that rules out one option. So I would say in your case, like you don't know what you're doing, don't know where to live, try something. Like whatever your gut is the loudest about. Go towards that. Give yourself a timeline of how long you want to try it. If you love it, then keep going. Then keep going. I mean, you might hate it at first, but with potential of loving it, so keep doing it then. But if you just absolutely hate it, you can try something else. Yeah, and at least you have information to make a decision on it. Inaction is the worst because you have no data. Right. Your thoughts are just swirling in inaction.

If you even make a wrong decision, there's more of an understanding of what the right decision is because you know what's not right at that point. And also the first line of this, I feel like I'm at the stage of life where everyone seems to have it together. There is no stage of life where everybody has it together. Say it again. There just isn't. All the stages I have felt, man, I just don't have it together. I can't wait until I get to that age. Right.

There is no age where you have it together. That is never a thing. It's just a presentation put on by people. And sometimes it's not even put on by them. It's you're putting that presentation for them. You just think they have it together. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think you ever...

Get out of your head. Yeah. Take action. One more. Hey, Bobby, I'm chronically overcommitted because I say yes to everything. Brunch, yes. Extra shift. Sure.

Help someone move. Yes. Now I'm exhausted and a little resentful. How do you say no without being a bad person? I've never always said yes, to be honest. You do or don't? No, I haven't always said yes because I'm very in touch with myself and I know what I can take and what I can't take. And it's been really helpful over the past couple of years for my team to get to know me really well

because they'll know what I can handle well and what I can't. And so I would say that's just about, I mean, you're not a bad person if you can't do everything ever. No one expects that of you but yourself. So I think it's just, you know, pick a couple and do it, but say no to some stuff because you got to take care of yourself. One of the great maturations in my life has been learning how to draw boundaries. Yeah. Professionally and personally. People also respect you more when you have boundaries.

Right. Not that they don't respect the person who message me because they probably do. They probably like you a lot. But when you start to draw boundaries, one, you respect yourself more. Yeah. And then you don't resent people as much either. And you'll show up as a better person when you're not. just like completely drained from doing everything all the time.

Do you get to a stage where you feel drained from doing everything if it's like end of tour, if it's like the recording process? I mean maybe a little bit. I think it's more so though like my year is planned out where we strategically have like pockets of time for me to be off because over the years we've learned what I need. And so it's like right now I'm in a phase of like I'm, you know, de-stimulating myself from like the tour or mean sorry the album release and like the nine cities nine days thing but now i'm like can't wait to get back on tour so it like comes in it goes from like i really need this

break to like okay let's go so i think yeah i think it's also like just prioritizing yourself i guess like you you know yourself and you're like i've i've got to take time off time off is important and just like or whatever you need maybe do what things that make you happy when you did the nine nine days, did you just stay and take a ton of pictures? Oh, I met every single person that came. That's crazy. That's awesome. That's crazy. It was crazy, I will say. That's like the craziest, most ambitious thing I've ever done. When I told my team that, they were like...

So what would that day look like? Let me think. So... Are you busing to most of these cities? Bussing. And like, let's say we... Okay, so we start in Virginia. people would actually start lining up like a day 24 hours before or like 48 hours before and you had to get your ticket in person because I didn't want people to be able to sell them. Like I wanted to be my real fans and they didn't know that I was going to do this. Like when I advertised nine cities and nine days, it was a $9 ticket and I was going to play like three songs or two songs or something.

I can't remember. Was it three? Okay. Yeah. Okay. So three songs. but then, so they're all excited. They, you know, they're, what am I doing?

I probably got ready. It takes me about two hours to get ready. So I think we would start in the middle of the day, though. I'm kind of blanking because they were all a little bit different, but like they would line up. Once everybody was inside the venues, then I would come out, play three songs, and then tell them I'm going to meet every single person. So then after I would do the three acoustic songs,

I would go to this, like booth and then would say, stay till every single person got something signed. That's super cool of you, one. And also it's great that you played not a full set because I used to do that doing stand-up shows. I'd be like, I'm going to meet everybody. And the theater would kick everybody out because it'd be midnight. Right.

And then we'd be out on the street and that wasn't safe. Yeah. And so then like you can't do this anymore. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I bet they were so happy. That's so cool to stay and meet everybody. Like they had to be freaking out, right?

Yeah, I was really exciting. And like, it's one of those things where on paper, it seems really draining. but like I feed off people's energy and like they were just so excited. So my hand was literally bleeding by like day nine, which was just like so funny. I'm like imagine like telling like college Megan she was going to have this problem. Like you're going to sign so many items of anything that your hands are going to be bleeding. But anyways, yeah, it was fun. It was crazy.

And nine cities, nine days. Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor. Pride Month, Toronto. Pride is an opportunity for you to create your own space, to celebrate your existence.

We have a ton to celebrate Toronto. Happy Pride. I heart radio. In the moment, it felt like it was going on forever. I didn't think I was going to live. I was terrified. There was no anything inside those eyes. They turned black.

It scared the hell out of me. That was your first murder case? Yes, sir. Fair to say this was the biggest case of your career? Yes, sir. Rape and murder for children. She's as bad as it gets. I would think so.

People wake up. I'm the woman. and saw the murder take place by Creveith and DePippo. Anthony DePippo showed no signs of remorse, appearing unfazed after being sentenced to the maximum. I said, I'm not guilty. I'll take it to the grief. Listen to the devil's quarry on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Do you have any place that you go that's like your place, your vacation place or like a favorite place? Anywhere that's the beach, love the beach, Turks, Bahamas, 30A, down there a lot. We went to Turks. I'm not cool enough to call it Turks. I only ever been there once.

Went to Turks and Caicos. Have you been there a bunch? Yeah. Okay. I'm not cool. I probably need to be it at least three times to call it. So we went to Turks and Gacos and we stayed at this place, super cool place. Everybody's so nice there too.

I mean, everyone is so nice. So we go in and we're having dinner one night because we're staying in this hotel. And there's like three couples there. My wife and myself and two other couples, 9.30, so it's later in the evening. And we see these guys come in and kind of jumpsuits, three or four of them. And they're talking to them, like the person running that. the wait station. And they're just kind of going back and forth. And I'm like, some funny is kind of happening over there. They all had Michael Jordan logos on, like Jumpman logos. And they're like arguing

with the person. And our waiter comes over and it's like, hey, somebody's here is asking if everyone would leave the restaurant so they can have dinner by themselves. And they're like, I don't think they're going to allow it. But I'm just giving you guys a heads up. That's the conversation. And we're like, well, first of all, we can't believe you're telling us that before either you're kicking us out or you're not. And they decided to not let them do it. And we didn't know who it was still. And so we see them walking through. And it was Drake. And they tried to get everybody kicked out of the restaurant for some. And we're like, dude, we don't care. We're not even taking a picture of you. We're like, we'll be annoyed that you're sitting next to us. But yeah, the one time we

went to Turks, and I didn't think about it, but he rapsed about Turks a lot. I think that's his place. Yeah, his plane's always there. When you land, it's like he's got a big thing on it. Yeah. Yeah, that's my one pretty cool Turk story. But it's really, I'm not a beach guy. Wow. I kind of hate the beach. Mountain, Lake, what's the vibes?

Wi-Fi. Just give me good Wi-Fi. Okay. Okay, screen time. I mean, I know. I know. Okay, Tuesdays. Yeah.

I, you know, I'm from Arkansas, so I grew up in the woods a lot. And we, so I'm good on outside. I'm all caught up. Yeah. Being outside, I'm good. I think I've never had alcohol and I don't have much sun. plan to live to be like 110. Yeah.

And we never went to the beach, so I don't really have a relationship with the beach. Like, what do you do? You're laying the sand. Yeah, I lay there and I disconnect. I feel like, yeah, it's really nice. And I like sun. Yeah, not a fan. No? No.

Well, all the things that I like you at the beach. Get this man to like an Apple store or something. It's where you're going to have your birthday this year. I do freaking love the Apple store. That's one of the greatest places to go. So the Bahamas. St. Bart's is really nice, too. Yeah, I've been there.

I've been to the Bahamas. The Bahamas is cool. We're St. Bartz? Is that the same area, like Caribbean? Have you ever been to Bali? No, but my best friend wants to go there this year, or next year. I'm like... I had to look it up on a map.

That's a far one. That's far, yeah. That's like Australia-type travel to get over there. I had a friend that just had a wedding over there. And luckily my wife was pregnant, so we didn't go. Go to excuse. Because that would have been, that's a, have you flown those really far trips like Australia, Japan? Australia, yeah.

Brutal. It was brutal one time we were planning. I was actually coming by from New Zealand. Like I went to Australia and then New Zealand. And I didn't download anything because I was like, oh, we'll have Wi-Fi. Didn't even have, like, messaging. So, like, no book, no nothing. Just like me and my thoughts for like 18 hours or however.

long it is. I was just like... People were raw dog flights. You ever see those? They were like, I got nothing. They just stare at the back of a seat. I'm scared of those people. Oh, my God. So you just read a magazine? I was like trying to like take some Advilp. I'm like looking at the thing because I can't even look up how many is safe to take. I'm like, let me just guess. I felt like I was in like the 1800s. That's funny. That also sucks. Yeah. Over those international flights, sometimes they do shut off Wi-Fi. It's not even the point of like... And I'm like, you couldn't even warn a brother. Like you're... Hey, there's no Wi-Fi. I could have downloaded something. But yeah, champagne problems.

That's what I say. No crying on the yacht. You got a yacht. No crying on it. You brought the Casey Musgraves album here. If you don't mind holding it up. And so what we do is we have people bring in music that really inspired them and then we donate all the music. But yeah. So tell me why you picked this album right here. This album, I think, changed the trajectory of my life. So it's same trailer different part. Same trial, a different part, Casey Masgraves. My dad and I, obviously, he taught me how to play guitar, and we really connected through music growing up. And this was the first album that I showed him. And I just remember hearing this album, and I'm like, it was what?

Probably like a freshman in high school or something. And I remember thinking, if I ever write songs, I want it to be something like this. Because how is she so clever? How is her voice so good? How is she so funny? and it seems really effortless, and it was so country, and I just, yeah. What are your favorite songs on it?

Oh, man. Like, all of them. I mean, I have to say merry-go-round because that's just, like, an all-timer. I really, where is? Oh, keep it to yourself. There it is. Yeah, I love Keep It to Yourself. Step off is really funny.

Like, when you... Step off. Yeah, keep climbing that mountain of dirty tricks, and when you finally get to the top, step off. I'm like, are you kidding? Iconic. Yeah, her ability to be like super strong and extremely vulnerable at the same time. Right. And I saw her live after this like 18 times and I just

this album has been a staple. Like I sometimes if I'm bored with music, I just listen to that. I go back. Do I have it behind me? Yeah, you do. So these are all my favorite albums of all time that I keep around me. Like my top album behind you behind me. It's one of my top ten albums of all time. I think it's possibly one of my favorite debut albums of all period.

I agree. And like follow your arrow. Just all these songs are so, they were way ahead of their time. For sure. And like I miss you too, the chord progression in that. I just, I love it.

And there had to be times that it wasn't super comfortable for her because it wasn't met with, I'll wrap, the industry wrapping its arms around her. Right. I think if that same album comes out today, it would be like, oh, this is amazing. You're right.

It was so far ahead of its time. When you got your first guitar, how old were you? 16. Did you do the thing where you go and you play to your fingers bleed? Yes, I did. So my dad had been trying to teach me, but it wasn't until I got the tailor that I got as a breakup consolation prize. The tailor, was it smaller?

No, it was a real one. And I was not good enough to be having a tailor because I knew G, C&D. But after I got that guitar, I just loved how it sounded. because it's a lot more fun to learn how to play guitar and a good guitar than, like, a super shitty one. So, yeah, I was sold after that. Did you ever have an electric? My dad would try to get, I have an electric now, but... Electrics don't hurt your fingers as bad?

Yeah. I'm glad, like, when I was starting to learn how to play for, like, comedy reasons, I'm glad I never had an electric then because I think I would have just played electric and never had to, like, develop finger strength. Yes, exactly. The calluses. Yeah. Are you pretty calloused up now? Yeah.

Are you playing a lot now? Honestly, no. My rehearsals start tomorrow. So in 24 hours, yes. But right now, no. I've really been disconnected. I've been trying to, like, totally do nothing. Does that mean not even listening to music?

I don't listen to music right now, no. Just podcasts? Nothing. You're a raw dog on Earth? Yeah. That's not true. I listen to Joshua Sloan. If I need music, I listen to Joshua.

I don't know who Joshua Sloan is. Debut album, one of the best. Okay, tell me more. I just love him. I talk about him a lot in interviews. I've never met him, so he's probably like this freaking weirdo. Compare him to something. I'm asking for the comparison.

So compare him to somebody for me, so I'd know. It's unlike anything I've heard. Actually, no, no, no, Rust and Kelly. Got it. Rust and Kelly, yeah. Does he live in town? Oh, you don't know. No, nothing about this, dude.

But I've worn that album out. I literally had it on yesterday, and my mom was like, this guy's really sad, Megan. You always listen to him. I'm like, exactly. But other than Joshua Sloan, nothing, yeah. How did you find him? Just thinking. How do you find Joshua Sloan?

I don't even remember. I think he came up on my Spotify playlist. And then his whole album, like I just put it on. And it's one of those things where you can just like listen all day. And it's been out since like end of last year. I'm still wearing it out. What is it now? April, May.

April. April. October. Where are we? Who am I? The Bobbycast. We'll be right back. Pride Month, Toronto.

There was no anything inside those eyes. They turned black. It scared the hell out of me. That was your first murder case? Yes, yeah. Fair to say this was the biggest case. your career? Yes, sir. Rape and murder

for a child. Just as bad as it gets. I would think so. People wake up. I'm the one that saw the murder take place by Crevent and DePippo. Anthony DePippo showed no signs of remorse appearing unfazed after being

sentenced to the maximum. I said I'm not guilty. I'll take it to the grief. Listen to the devil's quarry on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And to Hear the Devil's Quarry ad free with exclusive content. Subscribe to LaVa for Good Plus on Apple Podcasts.

Hey, I'm Hoda Kotby, host of the podcast, Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby. Together, we're going to have meaningful conversations with the world's most fascinating people. Like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges. I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult. There's a lot of people who understand postpartner depression. I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

All right, listen up. The Jonas Brothers here. Our podcast is called, Hey Jonas. We've here, since everyone has a podcast, we wanted to as well. And we've had some incredible guests so far. And now our good friend, Nile Horn, is joining the show. How's it going, boys? Hey, Niall.

It was the same thing with Slow Hands. Slow Hands is not about anything else, really, is it? You know, or taste so good can be about food. You do the same, Nick, with some of the stuff that you've done. You too, Joe. Drop what you're doing and listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts. This is the Bobbycast. Are you drawn to sad music?

Yeah. That's all I listen to as far as, like, love. Why? Why are you? It's just calming to me. I don't know. Sad music has always been easier for me to write. And, yeah, his shit's pretty sad. It is.

Yeah. Even my guys are going, yeah, over there. Like, I'll have it on while I'm, like, getting glam done and everyone's, like, in a bad mood. Everyone's moping around. I'm like, sorry, guys. But to me, I'm like, this is awesome. Favorite sad song ever? Oh.

Most played sad song ever. How about that? Jealous. Who sings that? Which one? Jonas Brothers? No, not. I was like, that song rocks.

That's all makes me happy. Yeah. Jealous? Oh, I'm jealous. Don't worry. Yes. Natalie Hemby. Ooh.

Didn't know that. Yes. Did you watch any of Justin Bieber Coachella? Yeah. We watch both nights at my house. I love him so much. I thought it was super cool what he was doing. And I think people didn't understand what he was doing with the videos behind him.

I think it was wildly misunderstood. I think it was perfect. I do too. And if you're not a Justin Bieber fan, you're going to look at that and be like, oh, he was being lazy. If you know Justin Bieber and even have been keeping up with him over the past few years, that is exactly what he wanted to do. And, like, you could tell how much fun he was having. So for me, I was just my Bieber fever through the roof this weekend, last weekend. Same for my wife.

And she's 12 years younger than I am. So she's Bieber forever. But I woke up. I didn't watch it live. I didn't stream it live, but I woke up and I saw mostly adult men my age being like, that sucked. And I was like, did it? Or they just not understand. So I got on and I watched.

And we spent a lot of time listening to his new stuff too before it came out. So I knew all the new stuff. And I was like, okay, he's playing all the new stuff. And then he sat down and started playing videos. I thought that it was so incredible because he kind of took you through his life. Because it was all that his whole life was there. Yeah. From when he was singing along with the covers that he did.

Yeah. Like as a kid, he would. Imagine how cool that is for him too and all the stuff he's gone through. It's like to be on a stage and be doing exactly what you want to be doing. And also to have so many hits, there is no way he could have sang his full songs anyway. Yeah. And for him to do a verse and a chorus of baby, that's good enough. Yeah.

Everybody got their fill. Everyone got the fix. Yeah. Everybody got their fill. And they heard baby. And he did one, like my favorite. One time. Favorite girl.

One less lonely girl. I got to say it's my favorite. With Billy Eilish too. I'm like, oh my God. I've never one. wanted to be Billy Elish so bad. Same. One less lonely guy.

You know what? I'll take girl too. Just making me. The crazy thing about the Billy Elish stuff is when she was a kid, you ever see the pictures of a room? Yeah. But all the Justin Bieber posters are behind her. I wish I had a picture of my room because that was my room.

I had the stand up of him in like the red pants or whatever. There was a video of her when she was younger going, I can't wait to have a boyfriend, but I don't know. She's like 12. I don't know if I'll ever love him as much as I'll love. I love Justin Bieber. That's fair. It's awesome.

Yeah. And then, yeah, I just, I felt like that was super cool. Casey played night two of Coachella and came back and played her new stuff. I did see some of that. Yeah, the second weekend, excuse me. She rode out on a horse, iconic. She's iconic. Yeah.

Her and I got into a little tiff when I first moved to town, all my fault. I was pretty reckless. But she's top five artists for me all time. Like massive Casey Musgraves fan. I'm imagining she's up there and yours too as far as like favor. Who else do you have up in that list? Well, Taylor's up there. Taylor, Casey, Miranda.

I would say those are like my three. They got me into like country music. Have you met all three? No, I haven't met Taylor. I've met Miranda and Casey, yeah. Not Taylor. Everyone will know when I meet Taylor. I'll make it very known.

All my friends and family. I might send postcards or something. She has the. ability, and I've heard this said about certain politicians and a couple celebrities to make you feel like you're the absolutely only person in the whole room when she's talking to you. And Garth does this. Have you met Garth at all? No. Okay. So you think Garth is somehow, he's like logged in and read your journal or something. He knows so much about you. Like he's got people that have to, who knows. But he comes in and when he's talking to you, there's nobody else around. And he knows things.

He notices things. But Taylor's the same way. There are a couple of people. probably four, I would say, since I've moved to town, that you meet and you go, okay, they obviously have their talent, but they have that thing that makes them amazing. Taylor won, met her when I first moved here, Garth, Dolly. I haven't met Dolly yet either. Oh, my God. I understand the complete adulation towards her from afar. I've probably, Dolly did my comedy special with me.

Like she was like, I'm happy to, to, I've probably spent eight or nine instances with Dolly. One, she's so sharp, but she is sharp and cutting and loving at the same time. And Reba. Reba is the other one. You're just like, I get it. Yeah. I get why. It makes sense.

It makes total sense. They have the talent, but they have that kind of element that separates them and makes them super special. But they're all funny. Like, you're funny. I was telling someone the other day about how funny you are. They were asking, I think it was something. I was doing this. with someone and they were like what

what's Megan Moroni like and I was like one she's freaking funny I told him a story you probably don't remember and I won't even say it for here but we were backstage in Dallas we were doing a charity show I think I was telling jokes and you were playing it was

Brooks and Dine oh I know what you're talking about yeah I would never share that story but I had to do with the automobile and I was just I was like dude she's so funny like I get paid to write jokes do jokes. She was funnier than I was.

So that's, I think you have that element, though. I think you're wildly funny. Is your family funny? I got a lot of my humor from my brother. He's hilarious, and I grew up wanting to be just like him. In fact, I played baseball instead of softball,

because I wanted to be like my brother. Really? Really? As a girl, you played baseball? Only girl on the team. They'd especially get me a trophy with a ponytail. Well, that's cool them to do that. Yeah, that was nice of them. When did you stop playing baseball? I don't even know.

I was pretty young, but when, you know, it was time to sign up for baseball or softball, I'm like, what's Connor doing? My mom was like baseball, obviously, and I was like, I'll do it. What's he doing now? He is in school to be a nurse anesthetist. Hard to say. RNA is the easier way. So he was kind of your family role model? One of them, yeah.

I look up to both of my brothers. My other brother is an attorney. and he's the musical one. So I think like both of them, yeah, I wanted to be like both of them. Does he look over your stuff? No. I don't, never? He's like helped me out a little bit with smaller things.

But, yeah, he does like criminal stuff, so. Oh, so you don't want him looking at your stuff. That'd be better if he never looked at your stuff, actually. No, no. Well, yeah, I guess. What about Christian Bush? Now, I know you're not related to Christian, but you guys met way back in the day, right? Yeah, this is an intern.

Which is crazy, because Christian's from Sugar Land. Yeah. How'd you get a job with him? It was with him and Brandon Bush's brother, and I was in the music business program at Georgia, and I remember David Barbie, who's the music, he runs the music business over there. He was like, if this program will do anything for you, you need to go and be this, like, sign up for this internship, and I'll do what I can to make sure that you get it if you want it. But it was not ideal because a lot of the other internships were in town in Athens, and I was going to have to drive to Atlanta, which obviously with a college schedule,

how am I going to party every day if I got a drive to Atlanta? But anyways, long story short, yeah, I got that internship, learned how to do publishing a little bit. And then I didn't even tell them. I think they might have known that I was moving to Nashville. But at this time, you know, like I wasn't going around telling people like, I'm moving to Nashville to be a country music star. Like, I was like, I'm going to move and see how it goes.

And if I, if I don't survive, I'm going to move home. But, yeah, he didn't even know about it until, like, a year of me living in Nashville probably. And then hooked me up with some writers. And, yeah, now he's produced my first three albums. That's pretty crazy. Yeah. Started from an internship. Now we're here.

He's so delightful. Yeah, he's so smart. and just like has lived a lot and it's cool that he knows so much about like the production side of things but also he's been an artist so you're in the studio a lot of hours so anytime I'm just like talking about stuff he's gone through it too so it's nice to have someone I'd just be vinton you know and he's been through it yeah let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor pride is like love you feel it in your heart iR radio Canada's number one streaming app for radio and podcasts, including IHart Pride Canada, your favorite hits and must have party bangers, plus personalized and curated playlists, like back in the day pride.

That was your first murder case? Yes, sir. Fair to say this was the biggest case of your career? Yes, sir. Rape a murder for a young-year-old child. Just as bad as it gets. I would think so. People wake up.

When you're tour prepping or your tour, what did you say you were doing, your tour? Tor prep, yeah. Tor prep. What does that mean? So, no alcohol. And it's really, I'm like a week and a month out.

So May 1st is when I really super duper lock in with like the diet stuff. Right now it's just kind of been like I'm not eating out. It's mostly like steak, fish, vegetables, like the boring stuff. But it might get even crazy or May 1st. We'll see. But anyways, it's like the diet aspect, no drinking. My rehearsals start tomorrow. I'll do all my rehearsals in a weighted vest.

I've underestimated how sometimes my outfits, because sometimes my outfits weigh like 10 to 15 pounds. And when I've done the performance, I'm like, oh, shit. Like, I am not in shape for this. So I'm rehearsing in a weighted vest. That's crazy. Also, the singing with a weighted vest on a treadmill doing that. Red light therapy.

I was going to. I literally was going to ask you about that. He actually gave me. I was asking him about it because he had a red light mat. And he was like, oh, do you want this one? I have an extra one. Just gave it to me. Absolutely, yes.

But it's the higher dose, Matt. So doing that every day, sauna and cold tub every day. Physically, this feels like it's such a positive grind, though. I don't think a lot of people would understand that it takes all of that, like for you to do all that just to get ready for this. Yeah, and I mean, I think it's, I obviously, oh, LaGree too. Have you ever been to LaGree? It's like a crazy plot.

For those I don't know. Yeah, it's like a Pilates machine times eight. Yeah, and then go super slow and die the whole time. Like, my legs fall asleep while I'm doing it. I'm like, I'm not sure if this is good for me. But, yeah, a lot of strength training too. But I think that I've never taken touring as serious, like, as far as, like, the prep for it as I'm doing right now. but I want it to be the best show

and it's the biggest one yet it's going to be the biggest most involved show so just really locking in I had a doctor in here pretty recently we were talking about red light therapy and red light therapy we have a red light bed at the house one of the beds and red light's great and then the deep red light

which is what that bed is and how I'm cynical towards everything at this point I've been burned by everyone and cynical towards everything until I'm proven otherwise. Yeah, I know. I'm super fun to be around. And so we were talking about,

so why I started to believe that red light works because I had to see data to go, because otherwise you're just laying in a, it feels like a tanning bed, and you're not tan, that sucks. You just laid a tan abe for 20 minutes. You came out in no tanner. Right.

But there were these studies that NASA did on plants, like broken plants, and they did a whole story, study with them under red light and a whole study with them not, just under sunlight. And they healed back at such a faster rate under the red light than they did with sunlight. So I can't see it. Right. But I believe it. Yeah. They said it's like, like laying out in the sun too, but better. But better? What'd say? It's like vitamin D basically. Like equivalent. I don't like get out. I don't do that. I don't go to the sun. Yeah. I'm hoping that like the winter months in Nashville

because this is like I just got it recently so I'm hoping like in the winter months when it's like the seasonal depression comes out I'll be like gna me and my red light therapy for good I have Tuesday depression. Have I told you about that? Tuesday depression. That's why I go on to the comments. Yeah, that always

when you're doing this tour are you keeping like how do you keep things as a surprise nowadays? By not telling anyone? At all though? Do you take everybody do you take everybody's phones? What do you mean? I don't know if you're even tour prepping.

You're rehearsing. You'll say you rehearsing. Oh, rehearsing? What the heck? Oh, everybody knows better. But how do you, do you, like, not have random security people in there? We just don't. We keep that locked down.

I think, too, like, obviously my touring crew is expanding. I think they said, I have 16 trucks this year. Holy crap. That's a lot of trucks. That's a lot of trucks. You know what I hear? That's a lot of trucks to pay for. Yeah.

Yeah, but good for you for needing them also. Like, it's great. It's both. So obviously with that many trucks, there's a lot more people on tour. But a lot of my touring crew is the same. They've been for a long time. So it's kind of just an understanding. Yeah.

We have a good group. I trust them. 49 shows on this tour? Is that true? That's what I see here. 49? It says... Maybe 49 in Summerfest?

I don't know. I thought it was 50, but maybe it's 49. 50 sounds better, so we'll go with that. And so if you're doing, okay, let's say 50 shows, is that different, do you do different wardroves every night or do you have? That would be a secret. Okay. Yeah, very good.

All right, you got me there. How do you feel like the response has been to the album? Good. I'm especially, obviously, like, the response online is always, fun to look at. But I think that each one of my albums has really come to life during the live shows. So I'm really excited to see like what, it's like an experience singing these songs, you know. So I'm excited to see like how the meanings of these songs and stuff change for me on tour because that's happened in my past albums. Do you have any really great songs that you've written

that you haven't recorded that are so great? You just don't know when you're going to be able to put them out? Or if they're great, do you just record it immediately? If they're great, I usually record them. I've got a few songs that are not out that I think are great, but yeah, I usually just put them out. Nothing you'd pass on. You ever pass on a song to somebody else? You want to keep it all? For now. Yeah, I just think like I like to think of myself in the building phase of my career. So I phrase things a certain way, you know? If you died, could they release three or four records of songs,

stuff you've recorded that isn't out yet? Probably. But even, like, for example, the reason, too, that I don't pitch songs a lot is because, like, wedding dress, I wrote during the Lucky Era and that just made this album, because it, like, wasn't time for that. So that would have been a great song you were holding on to then that... Yeah. Do you have any of those now?

Yeah. I'm not even asking anything specific because I don't. I don't want you to tip off somebody a great concept and they steal it from you. But I just wonder how long you have stuff sitting in your phone. Do you have just concept ideas that are great that you haven't written yet? Yeah, tons of those. My notes app is really scary. Do you sing into your app sometimes, the melodies?

I do, but I forget to, like, name them. So then in my, it just is like new recording 800. And I'm like, I have to go through and like listen to all that. So it's really time consuming. So usually no. But there are some things where I'll just be driving. and I'm like, hmm, I need to sing into the phone. Do you ever get ideas when you sleep?

Yes. Yes. There's been times where I've woken up in the middle of the night. I learned my lesson because there was one time that I was like, oh, I'm going to remember this in the morning, so I'm not going to write it down. Didn't remember it. Lost that idea forever. Still haven't found it.

But I know that it exists somewhere, which I always find really interesting because I'm like, I wonder when it's going to come back to me because I'm sure it will. But yeah, if I wake up in the middle of the night, like, God. to write it down. That's why I wrote Harris Slawn from a Dream. That's my favorite song ever. Ever? Of yours. Not of all time. There are other ones I like more than life. Yeah, but like I'm surprised of my song. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think because that's the song that I was sent, like, hey, my wife actually sent it to me. She goes, hey, this girl's good.

And then. Nice. And then I know their other writer as well. McKenzie. Yeah. McKinsey. Yeah. I love them. Yeah. That's a really cool song because I think it like reminds me of, well, my home, my small town. Yeah. Just how people are. Yeah. It was literally a dream that I'm in my hometown hair salon. I haven't like sat down yet.

I'm in like the waiting chairs and it's like an open thing and three chairs down in my dream. They're like, oh my God. So and so got engaged. Look how cute they are. And everyone in the hair salon runs over to this person's chair, like three chairs down. And they're like, oh my God, they look so cute. Like a hair ring. They're so cute.

And I'm like sitting there looking out the window like with a tear coming down. my face. And I woke up and I was like, hair salon. Like, it was crazy. And that was a dream song. Yeah. That's cool. I have three things left. You got a puppy. Yeah, puppy. Puppies are very hard. They are. They're awesome. She's awesome. They're so hard. Yeah, she's been doing this thing. I don't know if it's like, I'm not into the woo-woo moon stuff that much, but like it was a new moon recently, right? And she's been crazy at like 10.45 p.m. every night. And I go to bed by then. Like, I'm lame in my, like, you know, training era. And it's just like, yeah, she's crazy, nuts. She had my, um, hat running around the other day. Last night, she's like,

my wood floor has, like, real wood. So there's, like, some holes in the floor that are from the wood. Does that make any sort of sense? Yes. Okay. She's digging at it, trying to open the floors. I'm like, please don't do that. Not sure how I would replace that. What's her name? Boots. And you named her after? So her back feet are white, like my boots that I were on stage. It was between Boots and Lorraine because my song, Waiting on the Rain is going to ruin the song for everybody, by the way.

So sorry. If you listen to that song, it sounds like I'm saying, waiting on the rain, waiting on the flood, waiting on the rain, you know, but it's the rain. Right. So it was. Why would that run? I think that's funny. I know, but now you can't unhear it. It's not waiting on.

It's waiting on the rain. No, I know what the song is. Oh. Yeah. It's just like, who's Lorraine? Who the hell is Lorraine? Got it. Like that kind of thing.

So anyways, I thought she would be cute, like a puppy named Lorraine would be cute. But then when I saw her back, feet were white, like my boots that I wear. Yeah. And then I was thinking, what could her middle name be with a fur? So it sounds distinct. Yeah, sounds distinguished. Boots with the fur. obviously flow right?

Yeah. Did you see the picture of Riba, though, with the boot, the fur? Okay, so Reba was standing at a window and she's, what do you think about the boots with the fur? What do you think that means before I tell you this? Shout I had them apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur. With the fur. Describe the boot. The boot is probably a stiletto boot with fur around it.

Okay. That's what I always thought. It was like a boot with the fur on it. But Riba was wearing fur and then had boots on it. She was like boots with the fur. and that's the first time I ever thought maybe it's just somebody wearing boots with a jacket

with the fur. The fur's not on the boot. Maybe they should just wearing freaking fur. Boots with the fur. It was one of the... That is perspective man. I spent a lot of time thinking about that. Boots with the fur, yeah.

You know, I was also thought about naming her boots e period wutsi. Bootsie wootsie. Whenever my daughter was born, I wanted to name her Sue and my real last name is Estelle. Did you know that? No. Yeah, it's my wife.

She goes by her normal name. She was like, I'd never be called Bones. Kill me. And so, I'm a big Arkansas guy. I wanted her name to be Sue E, Suey. Oh, Wu Pig. Yeah, and my wife was like, I know what you're trying to do. We ain't doing that.

Floorida. Do you know what that name is? Florida. Yeah. How about that? Oh, I knew that one. Yeah, it took a minute, though, for me too. Yeah.

Boom. Floorida, Florida. Is he from there probably? Yeah. I'd be. Or maybe you just like that. I never even looked it up. I just thought Florida.

Okay, two things left. Do you believe in aliens? Probably. Probably. Or have any thoughts at all? My thoughts about aliens are that like when you, sometimes I just look up at the stars and like realize how vast the universe is and how minuscule we are. And I'm like, there's no way in hell. We are just like magically the only people here.

I have those thoughts. Mostly when it's like a southwest flight, just ride over like Antioch, flying out of Nashville and I look down and I'm like there's no way. Yeah, like I saw this thing that was like, I bet aliens like lock their doors when they fly by Mars. Wait, no, fly by Earth. Yeah, no, we got you. We got you. I think they're in the ocean, though.

You think they're in the ocean? The ocean is so much less explored. Like we have no idea what's in the ocean. Yeah, I bet the dinosaurs are down there. We don't know what's in the middle of the earth. We guess, but we don't only know what. what's in the world of the earth? I think some things, ignorance is bliss.

Sometimes, yeah. I think I felt a little more complete before I thought about boots with the fur. Like furry boots, I felt better, but now it was boots with the fur, I feel like all those years I wasted thinking they were furry boots. Last question.

How many singles do you think you put out on this album? How many do you think I will? Till they stop playing them, I guess. How many songs are on the album? album. 13 or, actually there's like way more than that. 16. I don't know.

I've been like, I've been on off mode. So it's not even like you're writing stuff for the next at all. Yes, I am, of course. I'm always plotting. But, yeah, I'm letting this one ride out. I think the tour is going to be really fun. And I'm excited to play these songs live. It's like, it's been the hardest thing, China.

to decide what to cut from the set list. Three albums in is like my first time I've been like, wow, they're going to be some people upset. Will you switch it out? There will be parts that get switched, but yeah. Like, for example, this is kind of a spoiler. Hair salon didn't make the set list. I'd be the one pissed.

Yeah, but I'm like, you got to pick, you know, hair salon or bless your heart. And if I've seen my fans live, I think both of those are bad options to lose to them. Wow. You lost me. Yeah. So sorry. Bobby won't be joining us.

You lost me. That's my song. Tell me about medicine. Like what, when you write that, like what's, I don't know what happens in a room. What do you remember about it? I was with Connie Harrington, Jesse Alexander, and Jesse Joe. We were in the East Tennessee Mountains. and I had the How You Like the Taste Your Own Medicine in my notes app.

And it's like so easy writing with them. And especially too when it's just like you know it's the day that like great things are going to happen. It was one of those days. And I was just talking about how like, let's write a song about how when you treat a man like 1% of how they treat you, like sometimes they just freak out. And they're like, this is horrible. This is the worst thing to ever happen. And I'm like, oh, you don't like it, do you? Like, oh, imagine that.

And so, yeah, it was just like a really fun song to like just talk about. We were all like giggling the whole time and just thinking like heard from you in three long days. You won't hear from me for five. Oh, you gave your number to an L.A. Blondewell, I gave a quarterback mine. It's just like just playing your game the same way you, I learned it how to play it from you. So, you playing that in concert? For sure, yeah. I still pick hair salon.

I like it. Hair salon over medicine? Hair salon over all. Other than, I told you it's my favorite song. No, I love hair salon. I love that you're a hair salon truther. It's existed so long. It's like when you pick a favorite song in life, you don't pick a new song.

Well, maybe I'll play it sometimes. It's just so difficult. You just need to know which show I'm at is what you're saying. So I'll let you know ahead of time and that one you can play. You guys can get tickets. We talked about before you came in, the Cloud 9 tour, just Megan Moroni.com. Most of the dates are sold out. There are still some tickets left.

I really appreciate you coming, hanging out. I'm a massive fan. Appreciate you. Yeah, I'm a massive fan, obviously. Tell everybody I said hi, your brothers, your dog, Christian. Casey. Yeah, tell Casey. I can't get Casey in here.

I apologize to her once. I saw her. I apologized to her many times. Because I was a jerk. I was a bull in China shop when I got to this town. Everybody hated me. I was pissing everybody off. I was just so different than anything in this town.

And I misconstrued something she said. And I was wrong about it. And I saw her in a parking lot and I said, hey, it's Bobby. You know, Bones. Where did you find her in a parking lot? We were outside of a hotel. Oh, okay. Yeah, in a parking lot.

We were both going into the hotel. Okay. And I was like, hey, I know it's been a long time. and I've messaged you this by I'm really like, no, we're all good, we're all good. But I can't get her in here yet, so I'm working on it. Yeah, so if you see her, be like, that dude, coolest dude. New album coming out, so maybe. I know.

I'll be on it regardless. Maybe I shouldn't say that, though. Nope, won't be on it unless she comes in. I'll be on it, Casey. Yeah, I'll be on it too, Casey. Megan, thank you very much. Thank you. There she is, the great Megan Maroney.
