Morning. Well, about, I don't know, a minute from now, Luke Combs. We recorded this interview. I want you to hear it. You haven't heard it yet, so it's not something we've aired before. But here is Myself and Luke Combs, and we recorded this because today his brand new album is out. So if you're a Luke Combs fan, enjoy, and let's start the show.

All right, big day today because the new Luke Combs album is out. You know, people wait forever for your. And here it is. Yeah. And do you go and, I mean, who's telling you if people are loving it equally or more? And who do you trust? Oh, man, the fans for sure is who you listen to. But what they say, we like this one less.

Yes. Some of my fans would for sure. 100% they would, yeah. They'd be like, I can't believe this or, you know, it's, and I think that's, you know, I mean, that's the best stuff you can listen to. I mean, you can't let it, you know, really drive your decision making or your songwriting. but it's good when people are honest with you about it. And you can get to a point where it's hard to feel like, you know,

it's like almost you get to this point where it's like, let's say I put this album out and it's out today and it's the best album I've ever put out, right? Let's say it is. And let's say whoever on my team, it doesn't matter if it's Cappy or whoever, they come up and they go, God, dude, this album's great. it's hard to be like it is great because like and not that I don't trust them you know implicitly because I do but then you start to wonder you're like man are they just like pull my leg you know like try to make me feel good you know kind of thing because what if it's not good you know I don't know

I think any I feel like that's the curse of being like a creative person it's like your mind is like way too overactive you know it's like the best thing about what we do and the worst thing about what we do because you're so prone to like second guessing yourself or like wondering if somebody's being real with you or or not you know it's just hard to like trust people's feedback sometimes you know so i find that all you can do is just love you know you have to just love the songs and just trust that you did you know that you did your best i think is the only thing that i put any stock in at this point we got a couple people in my life and in my last book i wrote about how i only trust people to tell me i did good if they've told me i haven't done good

And it's a weird way to feel. But I, again, once you get to a certain point, everybody just starts to be nice to you. Sure. Even if it sucks. And so I know that my wife will tell me how exactly how she feels. And sometimes it cuts. Oh, it hurts. Yeah, because you think in your head, you're like, man, I want people to be honest with me.

And then they are. And you're like, that sucks. No more. No more. Yeah, no more. It's good. Tell me it's good. But then it's like you're doing yourself a disservice at that point.

You know what I mean? And so if you have somebody that, tells you you suck, you can trust them to tell you that you don't. 100%. So any of these songs on this record, were they the ones that fell out and you wrote in like 15 minutes? Going, Going Gone was

pretty fast. That one was pretty fast. And probably middle of somewhere, that one went really fast too. But just fun. I mean, just, it's really like if, I mean, if it's just fun, you know, it's easy to write, you know, or if you have a really great like going, going gone had such a great

riff, like a pronounced thing. that we were writing to. I think that one was really great because you're not really worried about anything. You're just going. The new album's out today. Growing up, here we go. Three big questions.

And then we're going to let you go about your merry way because you have so much to do. By the way, great album. Here we go, question number one. Do you ever go back and hear an old song that you did and go, oh, what was I thinking? That is not a good song. I'm not even asking you to say the songwriters involved,

but do you ever listen back and go, oh, why did I even record that? I don't think anything that's made it on an album, I feel that way about. It doesn't have to be album. It can be just something when you can go back to an old... Dude, definitely. Oh, all the time. Yeah, absolutely.

Like, all the time. But why would you say all the time, like, how can you write a poor song at this point? I think it's just, I don't, and you're always like the day you write it, you know this. It's like, the day you write it, you're so excited about it because you're like, you're done with it. I never gauge a song by how I feel about it when I'm done writing it. It's the next day is the bar. That's funny you do that because if I write something funny, I almost do it for a month because I can't because I'm so associated with being in it

and then I lose it while I'm in it. Do you ever lose it while you're in it because you spent so much time inside of it? Yeah. And you're like, I don't even know if this is good anymore. Yeah. And I get like the next day for me is the thing. Like I always text the people. I'm like, hey, do you guys listen to that song?

And they'll be like, yeah. But we were always high-fiving. Does anyone ever say, hey, it's not that good, Luke? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Good for them. Yeah, like, we'll be like, man, we just, and sometimes that's like, we'll just go and rewrite that, you know, that thing or change what we don't like about it. So I think you have to be willing to do that, too.

You know, you have to be willing to, but you always have to, I've always heard that you just, you have to finish a song. Even if it's bad, even if you don't like it, the practice of getting it complete, you know, like if your job was cutting down trees and you got halfway through cutting the tree down, you would never know how to. a tree because you had never done it before. You might be really good at chopping the tree halfway down and then you don't know how to do the rest. So it's like all you songwriters out there, even if you're writing bad songs, you have to just finish them and then move on.

Question two is if someone said, hey man, there's a million bucks. I need you to write me a radio hit. You have 30 minutes. Do you think you could do it? 30 minutes. Love it. All right.

Hey, my wallet. Let's go. And what would you do? Would you chase just a big, melody without a lot of like depth and you know we're gonna go whoa whoa a lot of those I think if if it was in that in that sense and that's this exact sense 30 minutes one million dollars it's got to be a top 10 hit melody's it melody's the thing and claps and crowd and yeah melodies man singability like something that people can sing back to I think is the biggest thing

with any hit really final question you put out this album today do you feel as good or better about this album than the other albums that you've put out. Interesting question, man. I feel different about this one in the sense of it came together over the last two and a half for three years. And it was like all the recording sessions were so spread out and different. It was just a completely different process than the other two. Just because of the circumstances of the world at the time that it was made and all the different sessions. that we did and then the tour came along so that put the brakes on it and I didn't do any work on it for the whole tour because I just couldn't I just couldn't think about it because it was like I wouldn't be able to focus on it so I feel really great about it but it's just completely different and it's hard to even gauge it beside the other two because it was just so completely different the album's out today in full transparency we actually recorded this back in April before Luke's wife and Luke had a baby so and we can air all this even as I'm about to say as

is, but I'm just going to say, hey, man, how's the baby? And give me a few responses. Sure. And then we'll highlight the one. Whichever one happens. Right. So how was it at the hospital? Oh, it was great, man.

You know, stressful. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Give me a second answer in case that's not stressful at all. Yeah. Oh, it was great, man. It was easy, easy, easy. Wow, good for, oh, look at that. Super easy.

Okay, cool. And how has it been back at the house with the baby? That's good. It's been good. Not a lot of sleep. Okay, cool, yeah. Not a lot of sleep. There's also.

a possibility that we could not have a baby yet, by the way. Oh, okay. Well, that's okay. Hey, Luke, where's the baby? Who knows? Okay, there we go. Somewhere. Somewhere. And then do and we're, this is all playing for audience right here. Do one where you go, I've got tons of sleep. People are so wrong

about how hard it is. Right, here we go. Here's, Luke comes. Man, I've been sleeping great. I don't know what everybody's talking about. Okay, Luke Combs' albums out today. We obviously recorded this back in April, so just man, love it. Love what you do. Love to see you. It's just a big, big, honest conversation with you and I can always appreciate that. Likewise, man. All right. There he is. Luke Combs. Go see him. Stream the music. At Luke Combs on Instagram. And we'll be back.

You know, when people send us emails, they do you write. Hello, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I didn't just start that out of nowhere. I was wondering about that. That was one or two. And then people write their emails like that. Some do, some don't. Some are really long. And it's like, hello, lo, lo, lo, so just know that's on the email. Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones.

My family and I started a small business about five years ago. It's a niche business. There aren't many of us around just yet. We've worked from the ground up. Blood, sweat, tears. We have grown our business, which has just been named Best in the State for its class. Now, I understand similar businesses are going to pop up.

We almost encourage it. We love class. with similar companies growing in our industry. But one of our previous employees is new, now open the same kind of business, in our old location, selling the exact same stuff. Not only that, they copy our social posts, they host the same events. They told everyone, quote, they are in the business to put us out of business. Oh. Dang. Now we're all getting along with them, but dang, it's annoying.

How do we stand out without them piggybacking off us? Do we confront them? Extend the olive branch? We're in a small town. Rumors spread like wildfire, but we want to remain cordial. How do we get the leg up? Help. P.S. Listener since day one. My listener loves it.

My daughter loves a new kid's book. Signed. Small business lady trying to put her stamp on the world. Well, I appreciate that email. I'll tell you a story somewhat similar. We started this radio show a long time ago. This radio show is done a bit different than other radio shows. Not only from how we do it behind the scenes,

where I'm the only person that knows what we're going to talk about on the show, to the group of people that's never been on the radio before, to the main host that doesn't have a good radio voice. To, I could just go down the line on how we did everything so different. And we were told forever it's not going to work. And then once it started working and then really started working, everybody started copying it. They were like, oh, yeah, we always knew that was blueprint for success. It's one after the other, little clones of this show would pop up.

Even if it's not a straight clone of the show, they still segments. And change the name just a little bit, but over and over. And I used to get so upset about that. Now, I just do me. I can't control anybody else, can't control what they do, what they say, can't control how they react to things, can't control their bosses tell them I just do me I do the best version of me

I focus on me and us and what I can do for me us and our families and that's it because you don't have enough capacity to worry about this other person now if they're stealing something from you if they have some inside information

you can sue them I never sued anybody in my life but I would if it came to something like that but I don't think they are and there's no law against a similar very similar business McDonald's say hello to Burger King Apple? Say hello. You can just do it.

So here's the advice I'm going to give you. And not just you, the emailer, but other people that are in a similar situation professionally, personally. Just do you. It's the only thing you can control. Can't control what they're doing because they're going to do it regardless of how you feel about it, how much hurt your feelings, how sad you are, how angry you are. That's it. You control you. You do your best job. Put out your most authentic version of what you're doing. And you will come ahead, especially if you're already good. It sounds like you're killing. it right now. So keep doing you. As least as possible, as less as possible. Try not to worry

about that. I know it's hard. You are a human being and be so good at what you do that that is what drives them to go, I don't want to do this anymore. I can't compete against them. So, and they'll quit, they'll lose the end. Do you have any shows that I've had to stomp out from being, I mean, I could list

them. Being like, and I would get really competitive and it didn't matter who was against me. They were my mortal enemy. Some still are. They don't even know it. They're not in radio anymore and I'm like, ah. Some of that's still gone. Every once in a while, a little head pops up. But just do you.

That's it. Do you, focus on you, do the best you, the end. Because that's all you can do. Other than mandolize in the middle of the night. Don't do that. Oh, wow. Don't do that. And that's it.

Close up the mail bag. We've got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mail bag. Fun fact Friday My favorite segment All right, here we go, number five Number five So similar to the rings in a tree

Your teeth carry a record Of stressful times throughout your life I've been grinding the crap out of mine I thought of you when I saw this one So hard I don't know why I don't know what's up Just recently

I wonder if I grind because I'm happy Is that a thing? Is it ever been like wow You're so happy I can tell by the rings in your teeth Don't think so. No I've got a new mouth guard, my jaws. When I eat sometimes food, I can't open my mouth all the way because my jaws are so tired.

The muscles are. So if you look at my teeth, I'm probably Methuselah. Yeah. Old. That's a Bible reference for some of you. Oldest guy in the Bible. I had no idea what you're talking about. Shout out.

Number four. Jim Carrey was originally offered the role of Captain Jack Sparrow and Pirates of the Caribbean. He'd have been great. He turned it down to do Bruce Almighty. Also good. Also good. Oh, Bruce All right. He's real good.

Kind of crazy seeing him as, I mean, because Johnny Depp and... I feel like Johnny Depp's doing a Jim Carrey impression on Pirates of the Caribbean. You do? He's like, oh, I'm dancing around, doing goofy. I feel like Johnny Deff's so goofy in that movie. Jim Carrey could have easily done that. I think it had been fine. And also, like, Jim Carrey in serious movies better than goofy ones anyway.

Yeah. Okay. And then we'd have just thought of it as a Jim Carrey. We'd have been like, John Depp was up second for this movie? But I think, I'm into it. I'm into it. I'm reading this book right now by this guy Jim Quick. and he said he worked with Jim Carrey on a project

and he was speaking somewhere where Jim Carrey was and he went up to him afterwards and was like, hey, I'd like to do some private work with you. He's like, because to do... A weird question is that to go up to somebody and be like, hey, buddy, we... Like one-on-one, I want to hire you as a coach to help me. He's like, I'm about to do dumb and dumber.

And I need to be... Oh, Jim Carrey asked him. Yes, he goes, I need to be smarter to do my role in dumb and dumber. Yeah, it's really hard to play dumb. It's not... It's easy to be dumb. It's hard to play dumb because you can't put your...

there because you it's like trying to be short if you're really tall you can't just make your unless you're like bent it's impossible so you got to be really smart to be dumb so that being said uh IQ of 200 lunchbox is that high it's not a thing see see what he did there that's a brilliant timing the guy leaves here and he talks in a British accent and has all the degrees but in this room guys crushing it all right next number three passed on the Walking Dead because they thought it was too violent. It's very violent though. But HBO has Oz.

That's a pretty crazy show back in the day. So they've always been violent. So that's weird that shows like The Wire. And then even now. And it ended up being super successful. So I bet they were like, dang it. It was my favorite show for 34 years. Like my The Favorite Show.

Same, but I have not. I don't know what's been happening. Is it still? No, I think now it's current day and everybody's living a happy life. Oh, okay. How boring of a show. All the zombies are dead.

People eat all the food groups. The end. All right, next. It would take a person approximately 15 to 18 years to do all the training you'd need to become Batman. Interesting. I guess I don't think of the training. I think of how rich he is and just think he can buy all that stuff. Yeah, because he has equipment.

Yes, but he also can fight. Okay. But what training? Yeah. Well, he goes away. Remember in one of the Batman? That's jail. They throw him in a hole.

That ain't training. That's life, baby. It goes away. Okay. I had this whole debate with my wife about Batman, where we were watching it, and we turned it on and the new the Batman, and it's really long.

And she's so analytical about certain things, so emotional about others, and we're watching it. And she's like, what's his superhero power or whatever? I was like, I didn't have one. He's why they call him a superhero. I was like, well, he saves people. Okay, we'll call him a cop.

I was like, well, he's not really a cop, but he's a superhero with like, Iron Man. What's his power? Well, he's rich. Okay, call him a cop. And I was like, well, that's a good point. Dang it. And she's like, why does he wear that stupid costume? And I was like, what do you mean? He's this superhero. We already said, we're not a superhero. So let's move on from that. He said, but why like the, it looks like an adult going to a child's birthday party? Like, why does he have to do that? Like, after all these years, can't they like make it? He's like wearing rubber. And I was like, yeah, it's a movie. She goes, well, it's creepy. They should not do that because he looks like he's trying to get into it like a kid's birthday. And it says, she's a why is he's he a bat? And I was like, I have no idea. She's like, can he just wear like a black headband or something? And I was like, because he doesn't flap his arms out anymore. That's old school Batman. So why does he still wear the ears?

Oh my goodness. This is the discussions you guys have? Yeah, I paused for this. I was really dialed in. And so I said, yeah, I don't know why he's a bat sonar. She's like, does he use that a lot? I don't think so. She goes, all right, so he's not a superhero. You don't know why he's a bat and he wears like a creepy adult costume

out solving crime. I was like, yeah, yeah, She's like, all right, you can hit play. I was like, all right, cool. We didn't watch Spider-Man anything after that, but that was kind of how that went down there. All right, next. Sour Patch Kids are from the same manufacturer as Swedish fish. So the red Sour Patch Kids are the same exact candy as Swedish fish.

They just got sugar on them. I don't know. There's a worse candy than sweetest fish, though. That's like when they get old people who want candy but don't, can't really have real candy. Yeah, because it's not even sweet really. It's not. Oh, but people that love them, love them. Like I used to have little wrestling men that were rubber.

Same thing as Swedish fish, same factory. I had those guys too. Yeah, same, same thing. Swedish fish are terrible. I don't hate them. Oh, but it's like not real candy. But I also love Bidot Honey. I guess I'm not hard to please.

I don't like Biddo honey, but that's because I don't like Biddo honey. Swedish fish, I have no feeling about whatsoever because it's just stupid. Wow. There you go. Yeah. But next time you're eating a Sour Patch Kid, just know you're eating the red ones. You're eating a Sour Patch. Swedish fish dipped in sugar.

I'll be honest with you. As soon as this segment's over, I'll never remember this. You might. Okay, there you go. Fun fact Friday. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan number two, 30 second skinny. Bobby's new TV show he's hosting called Snake in the Grass will premiere on August 1st.

It will be on USA Network airing at 1110 Central Time. The show will feature four players who are dropped in the wild for 36 hours with a chance to win $100,000. Kipmore released a new song called Fire on Wheels. Two albums out today, Jimmy Allen's Tulip Drive and Luke Combs growing up. I'm Morgan. That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good.

All right, so I want to tell you this story about a Kansas teenager that's doing something pretty simple, but making people feel super special. So everyone around the country can take notes and try to do this. Shout out to Caleb Kelly Jones, who was looking for a way to, just give back to his community. He noticed the janitors at his school weren't really getting the type of appreciation they deserve and they worked so hard. So he rallied his family and friends and they made a bunch of cookies. And he straight up showed up to the janitors with all the cookies. And he had a card signed by every single student, every teacher, every administrator at the school. The custodians

were completely blown away by the kind gesture and it totally made their day. And I thought, This is such a doable simple thing as a way to say thank you to people that work so hard. Well, and I would bet you that's a pretty underappreciated job. Absolutely. The amount of work that goes in, the amount of respect they probably don't get because you don't see the amount of work that goes in. So I like it. And again, it's somebody appreciating somebody who probably doesn't feel the appreciation enough. If I were to equate that to somebody on the show, I'd say probably like me, you guys should appreciate.

Do you want cookies in a card? Yeah, we'll get you some. I always want cookies in a card. Who doesn't want cookies in a card? That's an awesome story. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. The Bobby Bone Show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University,

All right. Let's play a couple voicemels here. This first one is about a scam on our Facebook page. Ray, play that one, please. Hi, I'm just calling because I almost fell

for a scam that a Deborah Headley is posting on Facebook with your show to give people $1,500 in cash app, but you have to pay $50 first to get it. So I just wanted you to be aware of the scam so maybe you guys can shut her down. I love your show.

I love you guys. Thanks so much for being on the air. I enjoy you every day. Hey, thanks. And thanks for the heads up. Just as a heads up to everybody else, regardless if it's our page or anywhere else in social media, never pay anybody anything to get something.

If they're like, hey, I'll give you this, but you have to pay this. Never. It's always a scam. The only time that you pay somebody to get something that's not a scam is when you're actually buying something from a reputable source, like a store, you know? So, Morgan, do they put... I assume because we have a big following, there's a lot of this crap.

Oh my gosh, there's so many scams. I go through our page like three times a day trying to ban these people and shut them down. But of course there's going to be something that fall through the cracks. So just be vigilant to not fall for it. Don't pay for anything on our page. Man, I saw an investment that looked pretty good on that page. Oh, yeah, what was it? $5,000.

And then there were some testimonies like, yeah, I did that and it worked underneath. Oh, my gosh. Wow. That's crazy. Submit link. Okay. All right, here is one more. This is Sandra.

I would like for you to give a shout out. to the Pawlka City Police Department because we had a near drowning at my three-year-old granddaughter and they saved her life. That's awesome. So, Parka City Police Department, it's like a tell me something good here. Jumped in, saved her. Pretty cool. Monday's show, Eddie's going to try to be a lifeguard. I don't know if you

got any pretty yet. He's going to go take the physical test. It's been a while since I've done something like that. Been a while since you saved you got? Oh, three bones, total. Yeah. Come on. Come on, man. That's Monday show. Here's Amy's pile of stories. A new study found that women need more downtime on weekends more than men do. The new study was done by women who put the study out.

Yes, go ahead. So in general, weekends is when, you know, we have the least amount of stress. Everybody deserves a little bit of downtime. But there's a major dramatic shift for women because women juggle more things throughout the week. And they don't have as much downtime in general. So it is important for you to kick back, relax on the weekends. They say it's essential here. Well, if the story in the pile, we know must live it. We must go live it in our lives.

Take this home to your men. All right. What else? If you've always been a bad dancer, you can officially blame it on your parents because another study was done about this. And it's partly down to your genetics, whether or not you can move on the dance floor. Sure, it's rhythm. It's hand-eye cord. I would say it's all genetics. As far as what you can do naturally, if you're a fast runner, probably your parents were pretty fast. Rush runners. Anything we do physically. Yeah, the study even went into playing the drums or rhythm guitar. There's work that takes to get better, but just being natural at something is almost all just

coming from your parents or your grandparents. I know. And what's a bummer is that my sister is a really good dancer and then I'm not. You'll admit that. Oh, I know I'm not good. I've even tried. So Shira, my daughter did a dance camp the other day and I had to help her with a dance and it was brutal. Like brutal. Did you see Justin Timberlake dance recently? He was dancing on stage and it was like, and I thought he was kidding, but the internet was like, oh, Timberlake's lost

it all. He's lost all swag. He was on sexy back? He was dancing to one of his songs. How could he lose it? He can't lose it. I saw it and it's tough. They look like me down dancing with the start. It's tough. All right, what else? Well, speaking of you being on TV, I saw that Snake in the Grass, your TV show on

USA Network, officially is premiering on Monday, August first at 11 Easter 10 Central. Yeah, 11 Easter. It's a holiday. I said Easter. Snake in the grass. I didn't know it was coming on so late. At night? Yeah, 11. 10 Central.

Yeah, I know idea. It's after USA's biggest show, which is wrestling. And then I think it goes on Peacock immediately, like the next day. So USA, because I'm going to be honest with you. I don't say it up that late. I don't sell 10 o'clock. But I'm glad it's on a weeknight, so at least I can tell the audience. Hey, tonight's the show. Yeah. So, but August 1st, the show airs, it's a really cool show.

Who has, who's seen it? Not me. You haven't seen it yet? You haven't seen it yet? No, you haven't sent it to it. It's a really cool show. It's like an old, like a who-done. You got to figure out who's the snake the whole time.

But there's, I don't want to run too much of it. What does it say in the press release there? Okay, I can say what it does. Yeah, go on. Okay, this action-packed social experiment is hosted by. Yeah, it's a social experiment. That's what it is. You're like judging people and how they react to situations.

Hey, she was about to say who is hosted by. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hosted by National Radio and Television Personality Bobby Bones. Each episode will feature four players who are dropped in the wild for 36 hours with a chance to win $100,000. In order to win, the four must figure out which one of them is the snake. And it's each episode self-contained, so you have to follow along. Are these players, celebrities? Some are. Yeah, some are like, I can say now, we did one with all old Survivor contestants.

Oh, cool. Now, question. Amazing race contestants. From all over the country, yeah. Go ahead. The $100,000. If the snake... The snake gets it off, he tricks them. Okay, but if they figure it out.

If they figure out who the snake is. And the snake is none? None. Oh. Do you like that? Yeah. I do like that. Yeah.

It's good because, again, it's just an episode. It's shot really cool. It's, I guess, people will compare it to Survivor just because we're in the jungle. There's no surviving. You're in the remote and rugged Central America. It sucked. Yeah, it sucked. So that...

They call it the snake pit. Wait, but you didn't compete. No, but I was there longer than they were. I had to shoot all the crap. Be in every challenge. Oh, man. Listen, there's... Whoa, there's reality TV legends

from Survivor, Big Brother, naked and afraid? Yeah. That's... I said Survivor. You said Survivor. You did not say naked. He didn't say naked and afraid

because, guess what? We don't know who anybody is from naked and afraid. I don't know anybody was. Oh, that shows crazy. They did the whole show naked, though. No, they didn't. Thank God.

All right. Well, thank you. August 1st, that show premieres on USA. I hope you guys will watch it. Yeah. And that's all. All right, Amy. I'm Amy.

That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. Miles Copeland is 25 years old. He's a firefighter, so he fights fire, saves lives. But he's also a semi-pro basketball player.

So he fights fires, gets done. Oh, I got a game today. Goes the game. He's playing, run up down the court. all of a sudden 61-year-old referee, boom, passes out, falls face down onto the court. Well, guess what? Miles said, hey, I'm a firefighter, runs over there.

Who, who, who, who, who, who. Chess compressions, not for one minute, not two minutes, not three, four, five, ten minutes. He did chest compression. He's going to count the whole way, guys. I'll be honest with you. He's going to do it all the seconds. All this sound. He's like, not 22, not 23.

Yeah. Ten minutes later, brought him back to life. Wow. That's awesome. Just to hang into it. Like, how long do you hang? I mean. Do you hang until some, like a doctor gets there and goes, yes, or I don't know.

Because you hear like 10 minutes, I'd be like, all right, 20 seconds, I'm tired and I don't know. It's guys not going to work out. Yeah, we lost him. Yeah. Oh, gosh. He's still somewhat breathing and his eyes are opening in the guys he's done. Put a towel over him. But that's, to do that for 10 minutes and to have those skills and to use them pretty awesome.

And so the ref, you know, woke up and he was like, oh, fell on him. No, foul, technical. He said, oh, do I need to finish rep? in the game, but they took him in the hospital, and he had open heart surgery to... Wow, he did. Yeah. He had a blockage, boom, but he's okay. Those blockages are crazy because you can't see him, right? We have

somebody that's close to us that had a blockage, and all of a sudden was feeling really sick. Smash cut in the hospital having full heart surgery. Crazy. You can't see him. Don't you wonder inside of your body right now? I know. I know, and it's so... What's wrong in me right now? It's not like you can just go pay to have it looked at. I mean, I guess you could be deafed of a lot of money.

I think you do. There are places you can go. But you have to pay a lot of money. Oh, yeah. I've only heard of these places. I have a friend that's like, I want to go to this place. I want to fly to San Diego and they go over every inch of your body

and they tell you everything that's wrong with you. That sounds awesome. Or terrible. I want to tell me everything that's right with me. Yeah, I need something in the middle. Oh, really? I didn't mix. Like, for everything you find wrong,

I need something really great. Yeah. Because otherwise, I'll be really sad. Great Story Lunchbox. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Coming up, about 20 minutes. minutes, Luke Combs. We do talk about the new baby. So you guys hang out for that. Right now, Amy's

Morning Corny. Let's go. A morning corny. A truckload of Vick's vapor rub overturned on the highway yesterday. Amazingly, there was no congestion for eight hours. That's very funny. That's a good one. That was the Morning Corny.

Go to Airtasker.com or download the app. Airtasker, get anything done? Final day, we're to the number one. I made my list of my top five in 90s country music videos. The artist had to be elite. The song had to be elite. The music video had to be memorable. At number five, it was Alan Jackson Chattahoochee.

From 1990s, from 1990. 92 right there. Number four from 91 was boot scooting boogie. Brooks and done for you. From 1993 at number three, prop me up beside the jukebox, Joe Diffey. Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die. Number two, Shania Twain, man, I feel like a woman. We are now to the number one song. When I think back about great song, and great artists and music videos and I'm like, dang, that was the one. The song from 1990. The very beginning of it all.

90. 1990. We're in the 90s. In 1990, Seinfeld premiered on NBC. The Simpsons debuted on Fox. Home Alone was the most popular movie. Jurassic Park was the best-selling book. And Cheers was the top TV show.

Morgan hadn't been born yet. Mike hadn't been born yet. That is weird. The average household income was $28,000. The average price of a new house was $123,000. That's nice. Some of the examples of 1990s lingo included, bling, bling.

Yeah. Nice jewelry. Snatches bling, and even that's a little dated at this point. Call someone a blood. You need to call them a friend. Hey, blood. That's cool. Oh.

Chill out, obviously. For sure. Get over it. Whacked? Like out of their mind. Yeah. And yada, yada, yada, which is from science.

film. That's from 1990. Okay, you keep stalling. No, I'm giving context to the year 1990. So, here's a little fact about this song. This person was a struggling songwriter. And so he got together with a writer that he admired, wrote this song, and then got the song and pitched it to another artist. And she, she, Tanya Tucker, recorded it first. So she recorded it, but she didn't put on her album.

And so this guy who was established himself as an artist, he said, hey, since you recorded it, can I have it back? He then recorded it and he put it on his second album. In 1990, that album was called No Fences. Yes! Yes! The artist is Garth Brooks and his song is The Thunder Roll. Let's go! On October 2nd, 1991, it was the CMA video of the year.

It was taken off the air, though. It was pulled for a long time because it was controversial. It's violent. Yep. It says, in the music video alludes to the third verse by including the theme of domestic violence. Both TNN and CMT banned the video with a CMT representative commenting

that the network was quote in business to entertain not to promote or condone gratuitous violence or social issues. Because they banned it, it made it even bigger. They'd ban me. The Friday morning conversation with Jimmy Allen. Jimmy's got a new album out today. It's crazy it's only your third album.

I feel like you put out so much good stuff. But I guess a lot of that stuff's just not album. This is a third full project. Yeah, third full project. It's like I'll hear that. They're sometimes out here. Like, wow, you got three albums out already on your fifth single. Because you figure there's some artists that just now put out an EP on their third single.

Yeah. But then they also got to play covers their whole show. So it's kind of like... You always have a lot of really cool people because you have great songs yourself, but you have the ability to get really cool people to do songs with you and to also share the message that you once shared. In all of your collaborations, it's like you don't bring some on on and they just are out of nowhere and it doesn't make sense. It's like you bring on great...

communicators of what the song actually means. It's a really cool thing that you do. And so I'll talk about that for a second because on this record, and I do want to talk about the Jennifer Lopez thing because I saw that and was like, holy crap. How did you get J-Lo to be on a song? So it's a remake of her song on my way from her movie,

Marry Me. And like, I know somebody that works with her. He reached out and was like, hey, we want to do a remake of this J-Lo song. Would you be down to do it? I was like, that's a dumb question. Of course. Like, I don't care what the song is about.

I didn't even know what song was going to be. I said, yeah, so he just sent it over. She'd already done her vocals. So I just did mine and I just sent it back. That's cool. So it kind of came to you, but then you got to also go, this is still a me thing? Yeah.

So then after we did it, it was like, hey, record, can we put on the record? Now, the Celo, T-Pay thing was different. Like, I was in Miami. He was herself with Pitbull, and then I went to the studio, and my boy, Vinny, that produces some of Cilo stuff. Say, hey, Jimmy,

See, Lowe got this verse. He got a chorus, but he wants to, like, change it. What do you want to do? See if you can write a chorus to it. So I said, all right, play the track. So I just hopped in the booth, freestown this chorus, and went back and recorded it. And I called T. Payne a couple days later,

I said, bro, I got this song with Silo. You want to do it? You just called him? Yeah, just called. Jimmy, I'm got you. He was like, can I buy your drink? I was like, I'm good. So then he said, yes, he did it.

Now, there's a hip hop artist I was texting to do the third verse. I was like, oh, wait, no, I want a verse. I don't want to just sing the chorus on a song on my record. And then KDO, the other feature. So every album, I want to have an artist that doesn't have a record deal with a song. So it started with Betty James Gold Edition with Neon Union, who me and my buddy Aaron Benwood just signed, just got them their first record deal.

Now, KDO, she's an artist in town that used to demo sing a lot of songs that they would pitch to, like, artists like kids. Mary, Marion, Carla, whoever. But the problem is natural sometimes if you become a demo singer, you get pitching holders at. So she's a great artist. And we had her come in because the song we did Broken Heart was going to be a duo anyway.

And my boy was like, hey, let's have this girl, KDO come to demo. I was like, cool. So she came in. I was like, wait, wait, no. Let's just keep her on the song. That way, you know, one, it's, I feel like I've been giving a platform and people have given me opportunities.

I feel like it's my job to do that for other people. So I'm excited for the world to hit Katie out. What's interesting about that. What I hear when you tell that story is Reba, you know, does he love you? Linda Davis, does he love you? So they do this, and she was just singing the demo for the song because she was with Reba's touring group. And they were like, well, who do we want to get on it? And they had gone through, according to Urban Legend.

I think Reeva actually told me this. It's not that urban of a legend. They had gone through people to do it. She was like, no, let's just have Linda do it. She sounds great. And she's already on tour with us as a background singer. And so she was like, and she's a great artist that no one has actually let beat.

And so that song, does he think of me? And so that's that, similar to what you just told there. She does, like, because Katie's a nurse. So she'll go work her nurse shifts and still write stuff. Like, you know, nurses work 12 hours. So she'll go work 12 hours, still, then still go write songs, then still go recording music. So I just, you know, had so much respect for her in the hustle.

You know, we really appreciate people that got a hustle, bro. Because we try to appreciate it. It's like a time machine. And you can. agree or disagree, but you say that, and it resonates with me because I go, man, somebody's just killing themselves. I think that's why I was drawn to you early, because I would see you just going so hard for what you wanted, and I admired that because nothing was given to you, and I'm like, I want to help him, but in reality, I just wanted to help me, because that's what I did,

and I wanted somebody to help me. Sure. So that's how I feel, because you talk about her, and I'm like, yes, I should help her. Yeah, man. But I think we're actually trying to help ourselves in the past. Yeah, and it's kind of like, it's, that's what connects us, because me, the one, my biggest pet peeve are lazy people. People that say, I want this, I want that, but they've never taken one step in the direction

to achieve said career they want. You know, but when I see someone like exhausting every option to make it happen, I'm like, that's when you step in because that's what someone did for us. We got to a point where we worked our butt off when we got good at what we were doing a little bit enough to get someone's attention and people say, you know what? They're investing in themselves, so I'm going to invest in them. Yeah, they just kicked the door, it cracked it a little bit, kicked the crack, a little bit and let us have a shot to enter the room.

Just hold the door. Give me some more time to get there. Let's get through it. Just hold it for me for a second. Jimmy Allen is here. Records out today called Tulip Drive. What I want to mention too, and we were talking about this before you came on, but Jimmy took a red eye to get here to do the show today. Amy, what's a red eye to you? A red eye, picture yourself in L.A. trying to get to New York and you do it overnight or something,

and you maybe catch the flight at midnight, and voila, you wake up in New York. So a red eye, because I'm assuming you're tired and your eyes are red. but it's an overnight flight. They're difficult because it throws you off. And you're obviously, like you said, you hustle and you got here and I appreciate that. But why you were confused is a red eye to you is the same thing. It's not a stop. Yes, but this wasn't that?

There's not a stop. I went from one Ratched City to another one. I went from Oakland to Detroit. Like at midnight. Whoa, my credit score dropped 100 points, by the way. Okay. You can't. If you're going to take me from Oakland to Detroit, can we at least stop in Scottsdale in between?

or even Utah, you know, maybe Salt Lake City. You know, they could pray for me out there to get my credit score back up. Then I came to Nashville. But that's what the way. I didn't realize they had to stop until I got on a plane. I was like, wait, what? Yeah, that's his two connectors at night. That's not a right eye?

They still treat me like Jimmy with a Y. So I switched Jimmy to an IE a year before I got my record deal out of, to honor my grandma because she spelled Betty IE. So everybody knew me with a Y and I was like the Delaware Day. So my family still treat me like Jimmy in a Y. Like my brother is a construction. He's one of the top governors at the Moose Lodge, you know, that we all hang out in Delaware. He takes that very serious. Shout out to the Moose Lodge, by the way. my one sister used to work at the extortion I'm like a lot of special needs people

We play games The last thing we That's the one thing I love about my siblings we keep work on the outside. Like, my sister didn't even know I was having an album out until, like, a couple days ago. She's like, you got a wreck coming out? You ain't telling me?

I said, oh, my bad. She's like, oh, who cares? Whatever, I hear it eventually. So it's like, we kind of don't. That's the one thing we do on purpose. We don't talk about work. The album is out today. It's called Tulip Drive.

I'm going to play Down Home. So it came out a few months ago, but really starting to gain some steam here. So I'm going to play this, but give me like 20 seconds of set up of the song so people can have an understanding what they're about to hear.

Down Home. It's a song I wrote with my bass player, Taye Howe, Ryan Ball, Camberdale. It's a letter to my father, kind of like a check-in. I didn't want to make it a sad song, just checking in and saying, hopefully everything's good up there because everything you taught us. We're still using it today, and everything's good down home. Album's out today. This is Down Home. We're going to come back with Jimmy Allen.

We're going to talk about how Kane Brown thought I was you. Have you heard this story? What? Yeah, exactly. I know we look a lot of likes. What?

I want to talk about Kane Brown reaching here. Because Kane and I talk, I love Kane. Yeah, I love that guy. And so, and Kane's always extremely real, and I can appreciate that from him. And so I get a message from him. And I posted a video back at IHeart Country Festival. I guess that was, what month was that? What month are we now? May? Okay.

It was May? Yeah, I say. So there's a picture of all of us standing together. And it's everybody who performed and myself since I hosted. And just so you have an idea here, like this video, it's like scrolling. That's the one when I didn't get the memo that everybody's going to have this show clothes on. I'm sitting there with basketball shorts on. That's it.

And so that's where this comes from. So this video is all of us. And Kane reaches out. goes to me. He said, how come you're like me? All these MFs always dressed up in their show gear and I look like I'm ready to hoop. And so he says this to me and I'm offended because I thought I was looking pretty good. I had a like I had a nice outfit on and I don't know what to say because I got to respond. And I go and it's weird. So I go, uh, ha ha. Yeah, it looks like Jimmy and I ready to chill on the couch and watch a game. Meaning I'm just trying to bring you into this because you look like

you're in short. But I don't know why it's saying that to me because I'm I was like proud of my clothes. Oh, God. And so I told the show, I was like, Kane just said I'd dress fine. So then he sends me a laughing emoji. He goes, oh, I meant to send that to Jimmy. I thought I was watching his account.

He said, I tried to hit the unsend button, but I guess that doesn't work. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah, you got to hold it. So he was talking about you. He said, how come you're like him? Everybody dressed up, but, yeah. Because I chill in my sweats or shorts to the last minute.

because I know what I'm about to put on stage It's about to be small, tight, and sweaty You know what I mean? Because I'm in this leather kick right now Well, I was offended My feelings were hard I was like, dang, Kane Brown thinks I'm ugly And I dress stupid

I was like, I'm trying to play basketball I'm trying to go host a show here You have a bowling, I know you bowl and you're a really good bowler But you have a team? Yes I didn't know there was team Yeah, so I'm in three leagues here And then I'm in his traveling team

And then actually in Vegas I'll be in Vegas next week Three leagues traveling? Yeah. Yeah, we travel and do tournaments. And then I got USBC tournament in Vegas next week, the TAT tournament, and then some PBA stuff coming because I am pretty much almost an official PBA tour.

So you got to have a hold of 200 average for the entire season. Could you be a pro bowler? Yeah, I'm actually taking off to a month in January to do that. Next year you're taking off to go. What do you mean to do that? Travel and bowl play do PBA tournaments. That's so cool. I mean, it's weird because I don't know anybody does that.

Yeah. That's so cool. I think the only other person that does it a lot is me that I know is me, Chuck Wicks and Moogie Betts. Like when Moogie Betts is off from baseball, he travels and just does bowling tournaments. And they pay too. Yeah. Okay. You can make money?

Yeah. For those who don't know, his eyes are very big. He's shaking his head in a very violent, aggressive way. Okay. Oh, yeah, you can get paid. I tell me what Bowling is like. It's so to the point where I've become a snob now with bowling. I'll ask for like their house pattern.

What's their shot? What's the oil length? And then when I go to the bowling alley now and I see people next to me bowling with house shoes on and a houseball, I'm like, ugh. What are you doing having fun? No, get better. Oh, sad. At Jimmy Allen, if you're going to follow him, again, I.E., which is a great story.

On your birth certificate, it's Jimmy with a Y. James. James is my legal name. You got the point what I was saying, Jimmy. Yeah, yeah. But it was Jimmy. People would call you Jimmy, but you changed it for your grandma. Yeah, I changed from my ground.

That's why I started wearing these bandanas. Like, that's my look now because my grandma, I'm always wore a bandana. I'm like super sentimental. So everything I do, no matter how weird it might seem, there's a reason. So Tulip Drive is out. And speaking of weird, let's just, this is the last thing we're going to talk about because if it is weird and we get into a fifth fight, the segment ends here, right? Because we have nothing else to do.

We've already talked about everything. Yeah, yeah, go to go. You guys prepare yourself, bring in the referees. So what I like about Jimmy is he will go to people that he admires and respects. And says, hey, hop on this song with me. And so I had this little song, I reached out to Jimmy, I said, hey, Jimmy, get on the song with me. All right. He's laughing.

He's laughing and he's leaning away from the chair. No, whoa, whoa, hold on. Go for it. Go for it. I'm going to story first. Go for it. So, like, I love Jimmy. Like, not just in here, we do this, but as is like a dude.

And so I never want to ask anybody to do anything with me or us unless I'm, like, close. And, you know, John Party did a song, a comedy song we wrote last time. And I said, you know, it would be good on this. It'd be Jimmy. And so I don't want to say the name of the song because somebody else is going to do it once Jimmy rejected us. But anyway, so I sent the song to Jimmy and I feel awkward. I'm like, oh, I don't want to ask

somebody to do this song. So I send the track with the empty verse. I say, hey, Jimmy, we're doing this song. Is this something you want to do? Like hop on it. You can say no. Just let me know. It's an awkward thing to ask somebody. And I didn't hear anything. Day went by. Not even a text back. Two days went by. Nothing. And I'm like,

that's weird. He must be scared to say know. And so somebody that works with me, talk to your person, and they're like, oh yeah, Jimmy doesn't have a phone. And I'm like, that's bullcrap. That's what people say. I'm dead serious. So what it's... So I don't update my iPhones ever, because it freaks me out.

Like, I just think they just want me to keep updating updating, so stuff would go on the phone. So I remember, forgot where we had. I was at right before show, I plugged it in, on my phone and I came back out, and then my phone is just doing the circle thing. like it's loading, right? And then the Apple thing comes on.

I'll go to hit it. My screen server pops up with my daughter's face on there. Every time I put my pass go there, boom, phone shuts off. I ain't have a phone for like two days. And it happened to be the only time I sent you a song. And then so like, and I was freaking out anyway. Right. So excuse me, so we fly to Philly that next day.

Go to Philly, you know, hit the casino, you know. Go to Philly. I get a new phone, right? And then when I back it up, I have too many pictures and stuff so the phone's not loading again. So it freaks out again. So then I got to get another phone two days later in Nashville. I didn't have a phone almost for like four days. So then when I finally get my phone back up and running, the last time I updated my phone was March.

So I got text messages from March, right? So my manager asked text, me, said, hey, did you not want to do the song with Bobby? You could have just told him. I said, I ain't get no song. He said, yeah. He said, they sent the song over. He said, yeah, he said, I figured it was weird, but he said, I just told him you didn't have a phone because I didn't have a phone. Because, you know, I'd have responded and I'd have done this all.

So let's, can we do another one? Sounds sucks. That's all I'm going to say. Can we do another one? I'm not letting you commit to it here. No, this is a new phone. I'm not letting you. He probably bought that just for today.

He grabbed somebody else's a phone. He's like, I know he's going to bring this up. So give me. I even got two new phones because this phone is mirrored to this phone. So if this phone ever goes away, have another one. All I know is I send him this heartfelt message, got no response. And here we are. are now not doing a song.

Pretty funny song, I tell you. It's a pretty good one. It probably could be the thing that really breaks your career and get your first time. Man, you know, I say, how about we do this? I don't like it. Whatever it is. The person that's on it, let me join. We're already done. It's done. It's easy. I can go to studio and just do it. It's technology.

Nah. Let's do another one. Yeah. I don't know. Okay. We'll see how your career's going a couple years and re-address it. Yeah, it just wasn't meant to be. Yeah, I'll probably be a movie star, but I'll probably be tired for music. I probably won't even be doing music.

What kind of movie do you want to do? Oh, a bunch. Like, I'm seriously taking the transition into television and film. Like, I'm not leaving music. Like, I always put out singles. I always do records. But the whole idea of touring 100 plus shows a year, no. I think I want to get to a point where I'm doing maybe 10 shows a year in the U.S.,

20 outside a year, maybe 30 shows a year. And then just doing TV movies, you know, spending time with my kids, developing music education courses. in different schools, but not just music, but the business side of it. You know what I mean? Because so many people

don't understand the business that are artists, and then it shows other people that love music that might not be at the level of talent to be a musician. They can still be involved in a career teaching,

management, publishing, PRO. So that's really what I really want to, what I really want to do. After this little debacle, this song, you'll never work in this town again. Oh, gosh. We heard it here first.

Jimmy's album, Tulip Drive. It's out today. It's so great and it's so different. He's got a lot of great voices, but the most important voice is his own. And it's just a wonderful story. The voice you don't want to put on a song since I didn't have a phone. That's so crazy.

The time I do not have a phone. Exactly. It is so crazy. You said it. It's so crazy. It's a little too so crazy, isn't it? All right. That's enough of this interview, Ray.

I think we're done. You guys check out Tulip Drive. Check out Jimmy, Jimmy Allen. Jimmy Allen, follow him on all the socials, and that is it. Thanks, my friend, for coming by. Oh, man, thanks. All right, there is. Jimmy Allen, everybody.

Hey. Hope you guys have an awesome weekend. I'm going to go watch Ben Rector tomorrow night. Cool. Which, you know, I don't go to a lot of shows, either traveling or a live-in music. So, man, I'm super excited by going to see Ben Rector. Caitlin and I'm not going to make a little date-night and sing every song. So that'd be fun for us.

And I'd like to go see this Elvis movie, but I'm just, I don't. Like going to theaters. So I wish I could just like close my eyes on the back of my eyelids watch it. That'd be awesome. Like you just down, you put in your ear and you watch it back your eyelids. I'm sure we'll get there at some point. Like hopefully in the next week or so. This movie looks really good.

Eddie saw it, right? It's really good, dude. If you're an Elvis fan, you're going to love it. Elvis, directed by Baz Luhrman. It's got Austin Butler, Tom Hanks. It's in theaters now. The soundtrack's out today. Movie Mike's Movie Podcast has Bazelerman on it.

it, which is Baz Luhrmann. He did. Lulu shake a la, la, la. Let's move on Roos. Mike, what's the clip I'm going to play here? Oh, him's talking about whenever Tom Hanks got COVID, like that shut down the entire world, shut down their production for six months?

They were doing that production then? Yeah, that was... That was long ago? Yeah. Wow, so this Elvis movie with Austin Butler, Eddie says it was really good. Really good. And Bazlarman's the director,

and here's a clip of Bazelerman. We lost the movie. There was the COVID. There was not being able to hold the cast together. I used the time to reconstruct the beginning of the film. I rang Tom and I said, Tom, you know, I don't think if we wait, the movie will come back because there's too many elements falling apart. And very bravely, he said, well, look, if I come back, do you think you can get it done by Christmas? And I said, yes.

And he came back. It was the smoothest shooting we ever had. I mean, I came in on time and under budget. So check it out. It's an awesome get for your movie podcast. Should you talk about anything else other than the Elvis movie? No, that was it. Never mind.

He's okay. I didn't get sad on. I was like, yeah, that's pretty cool. Also on the show today, we got to talk about my show of Snake and the movie. The Grass, which is now premiering Monday, August 1st on the television side of it, on USA Network at 11 Eastern 10 Central after Rasslin. So after Monday Night Raw, which is USA's biggest show, which I didn't realize USA in the cable game was as big of a channel as it is.

It's one of the number two cable channel. Oh, wow. And wrestling is really one of the biggest shows on cable television. So my show Snake in the Grass comes out then, and then it goes on to Peacock. the next day, which is like midnight, so it's like an hour later, I think. That's how that works. But so we'll get to announce that it's a pretty cool situation and very excited that finally is getting on the year. All right. Bye everybody. Lobby bones.
