Morning. Are we still calling people Karen's, or is that over? I have no idea. I mean, I don't really do it, but I mean, if someone does it, you know exactly what they mean. Okay, then we'll do Karen or not a Karen. You decide. Lunchbox? Yeah, I had to file a complaint with Amazon because ordered something off Amazon.

He's the Karen or not the Karen. Just for everybody knows. Go ahead. And the guy comes trotting up the walkway to the front door. And he has no shirt on. Like no shirt? Literally no shirt. All he had.

That's so funny. All he had on was that little mesh best that said Amazon. No shirt underneath. Okay, but he did have something on. Oh, so he had the vest. He had the vest on. Yeah. But he had no shirt.

Did it look good, though? Was he ripped? Yeah. He was wearing no shirt. I know, but was he ripped? No, he looked like a normal person. Okay. Nothing matters.

And I'm like, what are we doing here? When you're a delivery driver, that doesn't mean you just get to take your shirt off. Are you sure he didn't have like a small tank top on under the vest that you couldn't see? It was smaller than the vest. I was standing in the front yard and he handed me the package. Why are you talking like that? That's so funny.

And I was just like, is this guy for real right now? Like how weird? Like when I delivered food with Jason's dinner, I didn't just not wear my shirt. Well, that was food. That's food, yeah. Yeah. I just never.

This is like a cup holder or something. I think the real question here is, why does it make lunchbox so uncomfortable? No, no, I'm not uncomfortable. I just, though, we're talking like a mania. What? No, no. I'm sorry, but if you're a professional, if you have a job, I'm pretty sure you got to wear a shirt. Not all jobs, but, okay, so what is your issue?

My issue is wear a shirt. You're at work. So if a woman was delivering it and she just had on an Amazon vest, how would you feel? Good point, Amy. I would feel offended. My kids could see her boobies. What? He's talking weird today.

Terly. Okay, I can't question. So what do you do? This happens. Do you say anything to the guy? I'm just like, thanks. That would be what a real man would do. I would integrity.

Thanks, man. And then I just got on there. I was like, weird. delivery situation, guy came up with no shirt on. You sent something in? Is that Amazon's new policy? Yeah, it's Karen. So what was your purpose of sending that?

Like, what did you want to happen? I just thought maybe if that is what they're allowed to not wear a shirt, cool, then I understand. That's not it. You're not like cool. That's not it. I'm just trying to say, hey, maybe, you know, have your people put a shirt on. Is it a bit unprofessional? Sure.

Yeah, but am I going to take time out of my day? Did he hurt anybody? He was wearing the vest. That could count as a shirt. Yeah, totally. What if he spilled something on his shirt, like right before and he was like, oh, shoot. What if he was, what if he was, what if he did have on a really tiny tank top underneath the vest? And you saw the same exact stuff. If you got a shirt underneath, you're fine. Okay. Dude was wearing no shirt. But again, your issue with you? Like, if I come in here and I just sit in here all day. You dress like a slob. You dress like nothing. You wear the same.

But I got a shirt on. Is it okay if I just start wearing no shirt? You lift your shirt up, though. The point is, though, is you don't adhere to the standard everybody else does here, but you're mad that someone else is not adhering to the standard of their... No, the standard here is you got to wear clothes. I assume that Amazon driver is supposed to be... You wear clothes. It's funny.

I feel like that's kind of dumb to not wear a shirt because you're probably getting trouble. But I don't know that I would have sent a complaint. No. It wasn't a complaint. It was. Okay, then what to say again? It was... You're asking a real question.

Yeah. I said, hey, we're delivering. every situation, Amazon driver didn't have a shirt on. Is that the new policy? That was it. That's not a complaint. General question. Because if they say that is a new policy, you may go to work there? I'm like, no, I'm just like, oh, okay, cool. Now I know that I can expect my Amazon driver's.

It's so lying. Okay, Karen, no Karen? It's big time Karen, right? Yeah. Big time, Karen. Now, if he showed up with no pants, different story. Yes. Better story, but different story.

You're a three-oh on Karen's. So, Eddie, if your wife comes back in the house, says, oh, man, that Amazon driver had no shirt on, What are you going to say? So you're jealous? So that's what it is? Oh, he's jealous. So you don't think your wife can handle it. I'm asking Eddie, because Eddie's all talking tough, but if that was his wife getting the package, he'd be upset.

I'd be like, really? Wow, that's hilarious. I've heard of that before. Yeah. And then he's sending a note saying, hey. No, I wouldn't. Is that the new policy? We've, we unanimously vote him or Karen.

Oh, Bobby Bones. I just bought my first place. I'm so excited. The thing is, I just found out for the maintenance man in our complex that one of the former owners in my unit, in their sleep there in 2010. He said it was the original owner's wife. Now I'm wondering if the other owners sold it because they saw a ghost. I mean, the people I bought it from only owned the unit for two years. And the owners before that only owned it for two years. Because of this, I'm hiring someone to come to a few spiritual prayers and burn some sage. Because of this, I'm thinking of hiring someone to come

and do not only prayers and sage, but bless the place. Would you be able to live in this place, or is it all in my head? Or should they have informed me of the situation? Signed, new creepy homeowner. Number one. People die everywhere all the time. I think if you stand anywhere on this earth, somebody's died there over the millions of years.

I think just about everywhere somebody's died. Think about the billions and billions of people that have been on this earth and everywhere we stand, somebody's died within a foot from it. It's a numbers game. I don't think it was, if it's like a gruesome murder

and within those examples, act walls. I think probably you think differently about it. Somebody died in their sleep. That's kind of the way you want to go. Yeah. Like if somebody, everybody's got to die. It's peaceful. Somebody dies and peaceful. If you're doing the praying and the burning of the sage and the blessing, great.

That's great for you. If that makes you feel better, I definitely would not let this affect me to the point where I'm going to change my life for it. If you said somebody murdered 11 kids in this house in this room, I'm out. No, there's not enough sage for that. But I want to encourage you to understand the beauty of what has happened there. Somebody died in their sleep with the person that they loved. They'll probably take care of you. They probably, no. Or they're not there at all.

They're not there. I know, but just in case, you can think of it more positively. I don't know. I wonder if my sister ever disclosed when she sold her house if she said my mom died there. Because my mom died in her primary bedroom. I would not disclose it. You don't have to disclose it unless there's a murder. Okay.

Okay. Again, it's a beautiful thing. We're born, we die. We happen to get to live to a long life and die peacefully. That's pretty good. So do what makes you feel good, but you do not need to move out of the place. Nothing bad is going to happen to you. Also, there are no ghosts, but maybe.

But there are no ghosts. But just in case. But just in case, yes. Here's a voice, Mel. Hey, I got a morning corny for Amy. Why did the rooster go to KFC? because he wanted to see a chicken strip. That's funny.

That's good. Good one. Here's Amy's pile of stories. All right, so if you ate a lot of Halloween candy last night, today what you need to do is eat a bunch of sourcrow. I feel like my stomach would not enjoy that experience. Well, experts say fermented foods like sauerkraut can help rebalance your microbiome. and that's the delicate balance of good versus bad bacteria in your gut. It helps you digest things and keeps your immune system strong.

So that's all you got to do. Do you ever eat two things close to each other and just realize I was reading that second thing? It ain't going to mix well. Like in your stomach? Yeah, like the other day, I was eating like a sandwich with a lot of mustard on it. I love mustard, probably too much mustard. And then, I don't know, had a quick little break and then decided to eat some watermelon and a few M&Ms. And as those M&Ms were going in, I could fill the,

mustard mix. I just knew this was not going to be a good day. You're a child. Like all three of those separately would have been fine. But I just knew that mix was not going to feel good. That's what that sounds like sauerkraut and candy. Yeah. But that's good to know. All right. Thank you. What else? So people have been Googling if these

things are back in style. This is the most searched stuff of like is this back? Let's just ask Mr. Style lunchbox here. Go ahead. Juicy Couture tracksuits. Still stylish. You're implying they never went out. Yeah.

I mean, you ever see a girl walking out with juicy on her butt? Do you have the real answers? Well, I checked with your wife, Caitlin, to get real answers. Okay, go ahead. That one was jury still out on Juicy Coutor tracksuits, but that's one of those Googles. Skinny jeans.

They're out. Nope, Caitlin said they are officially back in. They went out, in like three months, they went out and came back in at the same time. But guess what? I haven't been shopping in a while, but last time I went, they were out a couple months ago. Well, they were, good point, lunchbox.

That's a good point. Because they did go out for a minute. They totally went out and baggy jeans came in, and so that's another search or baggy jeans still in. Good news is yes, baggy and skinny, both in. All jeans, good to go. Hunter boots. No, they're out.

What do you mean hunter? Those rain boots, Hunter. Is that a brand? Yeah. They're out. They're in. I would guess they were in. They are in.

And then finally, panty hose. You say that weird. Yeah, I like the way you say panty. You say that weird. Panty hose. Like wearing them? Panty hose. On your legs.

I don't see that weird. I don't see women wearing them anymore. No, they're in. Okay. Panny hose are in. Why? I don't create fashion. Okay.

But they are in. And that's sometimes you like feel like they might be old lady. Like you shouldn't wear them, but they're very much in. Add them to an outfit. And which one? What are they called again? Panty hose. Weird.

Okay. What else? All right. Campbell's Soup released its annual poll on the Thanksgiving sides that we're looking forward to the most. And in a shocking upset, stuffing has overtaken mashed potatoes at the top spot. Stuffing's good. We call it dressing in Arkansas.

Oh. So stuffing. It's the dressing, yeah. Same thing, right? Yeah, it's the breaded. You put it in the turkey. I mean, I hear you, that's not a side, though. Yeah, you're talking about stow top, right?

It's together with turkey and dressing. Like, it's the main, it's part of the main. What's weird is that it doesn't come out of the turkey anymore. That's just a side. It really is, like just a side dish. Oh, no. In the turkey and around it. Like you put it in that pan, that big metal pan.

Yeah. Plast, whatever that is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think that's like in the middle of a main and a side. It's like a hybrid because it's so. so much the foundation of Thanksgiving. So good. Like a side would be mashed potatoes, corn, fried okra.

Rolls. I feel like when you say, when it's turkey and dressing, I guess part of like the main act. I actually do have the top five sides. I'll probably name them all. And now I told you stuffing has taken the top spot. Then you got mashed potatoes, then sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and then mac and cheese. Wow, mac and cheese number five. Why not green bean casserole?

Because green bean cassero is Thanksgiving. That's not green beans are. What? Yeah, and the casserole has like bacon. Exactly. No, the little onion, the crispy onion thingies on top. Okay, that's it. So good.

Can't wait. I'm Amy, that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. This older couple Jim and Joyce almost lost thousands of dollars to a scam. One of those fake, you have a warrant out for your arrest scams.

So the scammers pretended to be federal agents. They called them up. Hey, we're going to arrest you if you don't pay up. They were like, go to the ATM, take as much cash as you can, go to multiple ATMs, go to a cryptocurrency ATM. And so they're like, we don't know what that is. So they like instruct them. And so they're talking about it on the phone and somebody was nearby.

And they go, hey, that's a scam. That's a thousand percent. A scam. That's not the cops. They just heard the conversation. Security footage from the store shows the person, the good Samaria, what come. I'm good to heard. Say, hey, let me talk.

Takes the phone. Talk to the person claiming to be a detective. says you're full of crap and hangs up the phone and saves them because they were going to go do it and give them that money. Oh. Like luckily that person was just like paying attention. That's awesome.

So they don't know who it is. Of course. What? Scammers. They always get away. No, no, no. The scammers are probably another country. They don't know who the person is that jumped in to save them.

Because they weren't like, put me in the story. They should. And once I see this, they should be calling me. Hey, that was me. W-O-W-T with that story. So a big shout out to that person who ever heard that and stop those that elderly couple from losing a bunch of money. That's a great story.

That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Prepare to have your mind blown. A rock is considered a boulder if it's more than 10.1 inches in diameter. It's around it, so it doesn't take much to be a boulder. That's not that big. It's not that much.

A boulder to me is like something, if there were two together and you got your arms stuck, they'd have to break it off for you to survive. I think that's also a book, but that's a boulder. or Boulder is when they push something off and bugs bunny and it lands on something and kills them. The coyote or the roadway next episode.

So there you go. Amy? It's illegal to own just one guinea pig in Switzerland. It's considered animal abuse because they're social beings and they get lonely. So you can own two, three, four. You just can't have one. I think once you get to that four, you're like guinea pig lady or cat lady. Yeah.

Like two good. Did they ever have a guinea pig and all my animals? They did like hairless rats hamster cats hamster right I don't think ever did a guinea pig What do? What's fun about them? No idea. Oh they're bigger than like hamsters They're real cute. What do they do? Well apparently they're social beings. Do they stink? They're running a wheel? Yeah sometimes but they'll they run around the house. They're just like a little running around the house. Oh they do run around the house? Oh I don't know about that. Yeah. Got it. The president gets free rent at the White House which we would expect but he pays for basically everything else which we

not expect. That includes groceries, housekeeping, parties, vacations, and toiletries. Really? President's got to get toilet paper. But not bills, right? Electricity water. That's all. Groceries, housekeeper. No, you didn't say electricity. Yeah, maybe you're right then. Light, lights. I guess he's not splitting it up with the messes, 50-50. All right, lunchbox. Back in 1994, when they were making Lion King sound engineers spent weeks recording lions roars for the movie, they're like, man, that's just not it. And then they gave. And they gave. gave a trash can to this dude and said, hey, scream in the trash can.

And that's what they used as Lions Roars. So of all the Lions, no Lions made it. No Lions made it. But Frank Walker screaming in a trash can is the Lions roar you hear is on Lion King. Nowadays that days that wouldn't happen. Because if somebody's playing a white man, they'd be white. They'd be playing a straight man, a gay man. You got to be gay.

You got to be straight. If I were Lions and I was in the Union, I would have gotten really upset back then. You know what I mean? That is unfair. You hire Lions for Lion jobs, if you ask me. Morgan. The average man can grow up to six. six feet of nose hair in their lifetime and up to 30 feet of beard hair if he never

shaves. You just got to commit to that early. Like at 16 or 17, you've got to decide I'm never shaving my nose hair. Because if I decide now, it's probably going to get like a foot and a half. That's gross. That's so gross. You just got to come in early. You guys got lots of hair.

There's a very famous book called Of Mice and Men. First of all, anybody read that in college or high school? No. I think we're supposed to. Yeah, I didn't read it though. So John Steinbeck wrote it. And so he was late turning the manuscript in because the original manuscript that he wrote, his dog ate it. Oh, come on.

Like his homework. You said to rewrite it and this isn't like computer days where you had it backed up. Dang. It's dog ate it. Or did he? I think that wasn't an excuse back then. I don't think. I think really his dog did eat it.

But I mean, that's kind of funny. Eddie? According to data, children are born less frequently on Saturdays and the day that they are are mostly born are Thursdays. Why do we think that is? Why does Dadda say that? Because they want to take the weekend off. Oh, probably. Is that really something though you can take off? Yeah, like doctors.

Hold your knees tighter. Let's have a good weekend. Let's go to the concert. Hold it in. Party's playing. Hold your knees in. Hey, that's the thing? I don't know. Bush. Now. It's Thursday. Pull. I have a trip. In 1960. Oh, you're saying to do it before it comes out. I was saying like keep it in until afterward. Oh, no. I was thinking they probably induce. They're probably like, okay, we're going to go induce on Thursday.

I gotta get out of town tomorrow. It's all the doctors being like, yeah, I don't have time. Oh, you think it's doctors. Again, I thought I was somebody trying to go to Morgan Wallen show. Like, just hold it. Hold it, baby. You can do it. 1965, before he went to Vietnam, John McCain was on Jeopardy.

He was a one-day champion. Literally just went on the show. Really? Yeah, one. Crazy is that. That's cool. And then one more. King Arthur.

What was the sword's name? Chance a lot. What? Chance a lot? Chance a lot. Chance the sword. Chance a lot. Isn't that it?

Chancellaut's a name. No. It's not. No. You're thinking of Sir Lance a lot. Oh. Is that a person? That's a sword.

No. I didn't know if you guys would know. This was on a humiliation tactic. I just thought you would know. Amy, do you have any idea what King Arthur? Not a clue. I give you a hint. The first syllable's X.

Oh, got it. What is it? Xavier. No. Excalibur. Thank you. Yeah, Vegas. Correct.

Yeah. King Arthur didn't have a sword named. or name Excalibur by itself. He did have an Excalibur. But he also had a spear. Okay. And the Spears name was. New York, New York.

M.G.O. Grand. Pretty funny, guys. Ron. Ron. Is it Ron? No, spheres name was Ron. Ron? Like, just Ron?

Yeah, this is my spear Willie. Willie. Fun, Fat, Friday. You guys are watching Chimp Crazy on Max? No, what's that? Oh, my God. No, no, no. Oh my God.

Okay, so I don't want to give too much of it away. We're only halfway through. So this is not a Tuesday reviews day. But the guy who did Tiger King was, anybody watching Chimp Crazy in this whole place? Watch any of it? Okay. Nobody is. So the guy who did Tiger King wanted to do like a docu series on this woman in Missouri who has like this chimp sanctuary.

The problem is he was kind of famous in this. that animal community because of Tiger King. So he got what they called a proxy director to be him. But what is, so he's having to fake being the director. And it's following the story of this woman who has all these monkeys. And so I don't want to say too much. And I didn't want to watch it. My wife was like, let's watch Chimp Crazy.

And I was like, I'll know what that is. And also what's the play on words? I'm still missing it. Chimp crazy? She's crazy about chimps. No, no, I know. But there's a play. I'm missing what chimp crazy, like, why?

Chimp crazy. So, chimpanzee? Chim crazy. So I'm watching the first episode and I'm ready because my wife picks a good shows and I'm ready for her to miss one because she's picked like five in a row. Which means if she doesn't pick a bad one,

I don't get control. It's like winning on Jeopardy. As long as you're winning, you stay, you're the champ. And she's picked like five good shows in row and I want to pick a show. And she keeps nailing them. So I'm like, Chimp Crazy is going to suck. So we start watching it.

I'm so ready to bomb it. I'm like, dude. It's wild. Like, has your mind been blown? Is there anything inappropriate happening? No. That's what the picture looks like. There's no love making with the chimps.

Okay, because I thought. I was really worried about that. At least not so far. We've watched two episodes. There's only four episodes. Because the ladies are blonde, right? There's some ladies in it. Oh.

But I don't want to say too much. What do you? I just don't get the chimp crazy thing, though. Maybe it's just chimp. Maybe it's not a play on words. But this is the, what it says officially. It's a four-part documentary series on HBO that's similar to Tiger. and that it's about humans who own exotic animals,

but it's different. It focuses on chimpanzees. Same director. Yeah, dude, I'm just going to leave it there. That good. I don't know, come two in, but like justice for Tonka. Ms. Tonka. Who knows who Tanka is?

Who knows who Tanka is? Justice for Tonka. At least so far. Do people say chick crazy? Bat chick crazy. Oh, me that's? No, that's not it. I think it's just not it.

I think we're searching for it and it's not anything. I think Morgan might be on to it. Chimpanzee? Chimpanzee? No. They sound the same. No. If so, that's terrible.

I'd go like it. I think it's just chimp crazy. Okay. Chimpanzee and chimp crazy. No, I can't. Crazy. I can't make myself assign it to that. Chimp crazy.

Anyway, watch it. It's on Max. Okay. I really wanted to be bad, but I can't stop thinking about it. I'm shocked that you haven't acted like one's bad just so you can get control. I know. But the problem is, I like him anxious for the next episode. It doesn't matter what it is.

And she'll be like, you want to watch whatever? And I really, like, I really do. Like, whatever the show is. I really do. And I just can't pull it. It's like, nah. Yeah, good for you to be honest. I don't want to be honest.

It's not an integrity thing because I have none. I just wanted to pick a bad show. I can pick one. But she hasn't. This is weird. This guy said his roommate of two years had secretly been sleeping under his bed for months. He explained. You heard strange noises under his.

bed one night around three in the morning. He thought it was a mouse. We got a flashlight and looked under the bed and it was roommate. Whoa. Like imagine that like flashlight. Hello. Whoa. Good morning. What the? Quote, there under my bed staring wide eyed at me.

He recalled. The man who immediately fled the apartment in fear later received unsettling texts from Carl, the roommate, who admitted he had been sleeping under the bed several nights a week for three or four months. Carl claimed he was doing it to quote, get closer. Now I staying with a friend. The man shared that Carl, been blown up his phone with apologies.

Some responses to the post claim the man's overreacting. No. Are you kidding? Restrain in order. Yeah, move out. Well, for sure. Make him move out. I don't have to move out because a weirdo was under my bed.

You move out. I'm amazing he could be there for that long, three to four nights for months because let's say the guy on top, not Carl, you know, his alarm goes off. Carl has to wake up and hit his head on the bottom of the bed, wouldn't you think? In most cartoons, that's what happens. I would think that the guy probably has to get in after Carl's asleep and out before Carl wakes up. That's the plan. To be as weird as possible.

And if he doesn't wake up for some reason, I think he just lay there and be still. Because who checks under the bed unless you're looking for... Or your shoes. Like don't your shoes actually get kicked under the bed? But he probably knows the guy's routine with his bed. Oh, yeah, you push the shoes out. Yeah, you push the shoes. No, no, no.

I'm saying the guy that's under the bed probably knows what. he uses under the bed for so he knows he can get under there. I don't think he's pushing the shoes out. And the guy's like, why are my shoes all right out every morning? So he was just lonely? Like, wanting to get closer? I don't know, dude, it sounds like he's... Sounds like a...

If you're that... Yeah, it sounds like he's... Yeah. Sounds like Carl's into him. Oh. Sounds like Carl's into him. Oh. Why not just jumping the bed then?

No. No, then he knows. That may not be welcomed. Okay. Yeah, that's weird. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Well, with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money.

What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family.

If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more.

the beautiful things, I'm excited to share that I have a new podcast called Mind Over Mountain. In each episode, I interview athletes, adventurers, and adrenaline seekers to discuss the inner landscapes and life experiences that informed and inspired their extraordinary feats. I also bring a bit of advice into the mix so we too can better understand how to face our own seemingly insurmountable challenges. Do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to pull out what you already have inside. We're coming into this world, fighting for our lives.

All I'm going to do is pull out what you already got inside. We're there to support and celebrate each other. And that's not like your story versus my story. You're going to walk up and over that dang mountain.

From My Heart Podcast, Saigon. Please allow me to introduce Joseph Sherman.

You don't think I'm serious about a free Vietnam? I should stop talking so much. I like hearing you talk. One city, a divided country, and the war that tore America apart. This is for Vietnam. I've taken a hit from Japanese ground fire. Do you rate me? They're pouring petrol all over him.

With Amy. Tell me something good. So at the Alabama-Missouri football game recently, an Alabama fan and nurse, Aaron Minder, she had two medical emergencies that she tended to at the same game and get this so there was one fan that had a head injury so she worked with an EMT there to get this guy taking care of loaded in an ambulance

whatever she's making her way back to her seat and she learns that there's another medical emergency this time it's the EMT she had just been working with oh yeah he his eyes rolled the back of his head he collapsed after shaking him she checked his pulse she couldn't find one so she immediately started CPR. I mean, there was chaos everywhere. She said it was so crazy. And she was part of saving his life. The EMT is recovering fully. He said he's so thankful that she was there to save his life. But it's pretty wild that they just saved a life together. Where was this? At the Alabama, Missouri football game. Where do they play? They play in Alabama. Tuscalo. They're playing. They're in Alabama. She's Alabama fan. She's Alabama fan. Yeah, roll tide.

You just say that because you know that. Yeah. She should like get to go meet. Coach DeBose That would be cool. A little mean, greet. You know who that is? Yeah, this is the coach. Well, I said coach, so yeah. The coach of what? Coach of what?

The coach of Alabama. Alabama, what? Roll tide. Okay, stop. All right, there you go. Good for her. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good.

Time for the morning corny. Let's go. The morning corny. Why did the mashed potatoes turn red? Why? They saw the turkey dressing. I heard that was like me. That was the morning corny.

What was the thing about slashing tires? You were talking about? Oh, I saw this thing on TikTok of this woman talking about how, like, after her boyfriend cheated on her, she went out and slashed three of his tires. She didn't slash all four because insurance will only cover it if you slash all four. So she slashed three. That logic feels weird because you can just slash the fourth yourself. I know, but apparently this is a popular myth.

So the insurance companies typically should cover. even if you get one tire slash, depending on your insurance coverage. But they're not like, oh, well, sorry, you didn't get all four slash, so we're not paying for it. It's a myth. So people were only slashing three because they didn't want the person's insurance to pay for the slash tires. Yeah, I didn't want any women out there to be, or any scorned people, probably not just women, out there just only slashing three. Tire slashing not really a dude thing. Yeah, yeah.

Busting a windshield, like a crowbar be a dude thing. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, I just thought of something funny that I saw online that she was. She said she did. And so then I had to Google it. And sure enough, it pops up. And a lot of insurance companies, like on their website, they clarify.

I'm sure you've heard the rumor that you'll, if there's three, da, da, da, da, but if there's one or two, you'll get coverage. All right, cue. You ever slashed a tire, Amy? No. No. Lunchboxes? No, never slashed the tire, but I put it in. Never.

Sounds dangerous. Like, what if it just pops on you? Probably not going to, but okay. Because in the movies, it seems easy, but I don't think it's that easy. Morgan? No, I've never slashed a tire. Okay. Bobby? No. No, but I keep driving into the curbs here at work. It's like one of my tires. At some point. It's stupid. I'm going to have to get a new car because they can't, one, I can't park and drive, so it's my fault. But everything's so tight here in this new building. I'm going to get a new car because I'm stupid. Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, keyed a car? Ever keyed a car? Never keyed a car? I'd have my car keyed. I would never do that to someone. You never keyed a car. I never, I never keyed a car. Lunchbox? No. You never walk by and keyed a car. What did you just say? What did you just say?

a minute ago you said I said he dented one I didn't even follow up. Dented a tire? No, a car. Like with your foot? Yeah. I've done that. My brother's car. What? It's your brother though. Yeah, we're brothers. Ever key to car? Never. Morgan? No, I've had my car keyed though. Yeah. By other girls or guys? Mine was by a boyfriend, ex-boyfriend.

Eddie, which toy became a huge craze in the 80s with its colorful twisting blocks? Oh, Rubik's Cube. Correct. Abby, who played the title character in the Indiana Jones? movies in the 1980s.

I can see him. Hold on. I can see him. Indiana Jones. Hold on. Oh, the clock's up. Indiana Jones. I see him running.

I see him running with the run. You need an answer, Abby. I, shoot. Time. You've been boo. It's so easy. That's amazing. No.

I feel like she almost said it. Eddie, it's like you're playing with children. That's amazing. That's not true. Yes, it is. Amy, it is. No, I'm a little rusty. Eddie has eight wins more than anybody else, double more than anybody else.

And it's like, we've got to do something to change. What can we do, man? I don't know. I'll be back. I was rusty. I lost one round. Yeah, it's blue season. And a stem.

Yeah, man. Also, it's Harrison Ford. Overall championships, Eddie eight. Wow, that's crazy. Amy four. Okay, not bad. He's double you. Not bad.

Two of them I wasn't even allowed to play. And he wasn't allowed to play one of the ones you won. Yeah. That's not a good comeback. That's not a good comeback. That's not a good comeback. Wait, wait, wait, you forgot to match your mind. You have two.

Okay, yeah, and I got double him. That's right, legit. The question is, how much do you love your kids? How far would you go to help your kids? And the whole story was she murdered. Was it her boyfriend lunchbox? Her husband? Husband.

She murdered her husband. And so her parents came to help her, like, get rid of the body? No. Okay, go lunchbox. Tell them what you now. So they, I guess he confronted her about having an affair. So while he slept, she shot him. Shot him. Killed him. So there's blood all over the room in the mattress. And she's like, what am I going to do? Calls her parents. Her parents come over and spend hours helping her clean, helping her dispose of the mattress. And they were later arrested because they said, no, we weren't at the house. The neighbor's like, man, we saw them over there for hours. Turns out they helped them

helped her clean up. That's a weird call to get from your daughter. I just murdered somebody. Can you help me? Yeah. Because I'm assuming there hasn't been a lot of those calls that have come in life. Hey, I just murder someone. Can you help me? So you got to decide pretty quick. Am I going to help them? It is your daughter. And maybe there had been some stuff in the past with that ex. I don't think you just shoot somebody because you're having a bad day. But would you go, if your kid called you as an adult, Amy, and said this, it's an impossible question to answer full truthfully because until you're in it, you don't know. But what do you think? I mean, I could take a good guess that I'm probably going to not help them cover up a murder. Would you call? I'm going to say we need to go turn.

You need to turn yourself in. Okay. Like, something's going on. Like, why would you do this? Like, let's all go with you. This is what we need to do. They could be locked away forever. I know.

But they murdered somebody. So that's unfortunate. And I think that I'm this way because I know my mom would have turned me in 100%. She didn't mess around. Lunchbox, you're kidding. Let's call you. Man, I want to say I'd just turn them in, but, man, that's my kid. If I got a chance to save my kid, I got to help them.

I got to help them. But they murdered somebody. I understand that. What about this? What if it's help them and just run? But then you have to run too. I mean, I'd probably do it. I'd probably go on the run with it.

It was them be locked up forever or there's a 5% chance that they can get away, even though they did something wrong. I still love them. And so I got to have their back. So 5% chance. And I don't disagree. I don't think you're saying anything to just have effect here. If the 5% chance was that if they, you get caught, you also go to jail. It's not just about them. Man, that sucks, but. But you have other kids. You have other kids. You have a wife. You have a family still. Yeah. And I would say let's take the run out of it. Because if you run, then you got to run forever in your whole life is, yeah. Let's say it's, If you can get to that house, you can get it all cleaned up and get rid of it. And there's a 30% chance.

Oh, even more, you got to help him. You do it. Yeah. But then what if they murder you? Well, he didn't do it. No, they're not going to murder. Why would they murder him? He just helped them.

Who knows? Like, why'd they murder the other person? Because they're crazy. Exactly. No, or? Okay, if it was some crazy self-defense situation. I don't think it was self-defense. No, it was why he slept.

Okay, I know. Allegedly. Yeah. But, I mean, if there was cheating. Hey, did you don't cheat on the. another kid? No. Okay, exactly.

Eddie? Look, if they decided to do something like that, I raised them that way. I raised them to think that like, it's okay. If you get your feelings hurt or if you're heartbroken because of something, whatever, you can just shoot someone. And if I decide to help them because they did that, that's, again, me being a terrible parent.

So no, I'm going to turn them in. So you're a terrible parent to say raised, you raised them that way and then you're a terrible parent for double. I'll turn the two negatives per math. That's true. Equal positive. Also, I don't think just because somebody chooses to murder that it's a parent's fault.

I don't agree with you, Amy, not Eddie at all. How do you not agree with that? Yeah, because there's other factors. They think that that's okay. That has to be how I raised them. I bet you they don't even think it's okay. There's other factors. And their adults and the environment that people put themselves in as adults and how much of that is. Whatever chemicals

they could possibly be on up. Nothing to do with you. Eddie, I know you think you can control your kids in every way, but they're going to have so many factors in their lives that are able to influence them to live different ways. They're going to meet a girl. They're probably going to run off and be a hippie, or they're going to, or be. That's not bad. That's cool.

Yeah, and I mean, you have four kids. Are they not totally different? You raise them the exact same way, but they are totally different. So they have different minds. So no matter how you raise them, they're completely different. So you're turning them in. I'm turning them in and then turning myself in from being a terrible parent. Well, the jail time's way less on that.

I don't think. Now, there are cases in which it is a terrible parent that cause. If it's a kid, if it's underage. No, no, no, adults. If an underage kid murder, we recently had a story about this. Yep. An underage kid, it was a school shooting underage kid the day I went to jail. Underage kid.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Your kids are going to be adults when this happens. Well, when you do things like gift your children and stuff like that. And hide them when they're. Also, was the name of a gun. Remington? Like Colton or something like that. Yeah. Like you ever think about it. But if you're an adult and they're an adult, that's not your fault.

That could be your fault, but it doesn't mean it has to be your fault. Correct. But man, it's hard to say you turn your kid in, guys. Like, I read the story and I'm like, oh my gosh, how stupid are the parents? And I sat there for a minute. I'm like, yeah, my kid called me. I'd probably be over there in a heartbeat. Risking for you to go to jail? Yeah.

Because you risk everything for your kids. Do you think it's because I have adopted children and they have biological. I'm not feeling what they're feeling right now. But I love my kids. I'm feeling different than him. And I'm feeling different than all of you because I don't have kids. I'd be like, put them.

I'd arrest on myself. Citizens arrest. Yeah, come visit you in jail. Yeah, but also I think if you murder, you should serve your punishment for it. Yeah, that's the consequence. But I don't think all parents of all murderers parented that murder.

Correct. Something went wrong. Right, but it didn't have to be with you. But it could also be genetic. genetically in the brain. That too, but then genetically, my fault again. No. Oh, mom.

Mom's side. Blame it on mom. Bobby Bone's show. Story of the day. This story comes us from Orlando, Florida. A mailman got his delivery route, got all the mail. He's like, man, there's a lot of pieces of mail today. Driving around, he's like, I'm tired.

I'm not delivering all this. Finds a wooded area. Takes a thousand pieces of mail. Dang. Throws it in there. tries back to the mail station. His boss is like, man, he had a big load today and he's back earlier than usual. He finds he went through it in the woods.

He should have gone to the bar or something to kill some time. He should have burned the mail because they're going to find it and then he's going to get in trouble. No, he should have delivered it. Right, right. Yeah, yeah, of course. All that. Yeah, but if he's not going to deliver it. Right, right, right, yeah.

I mean, at least don't raise suspicion by coming back an hour early. Or gives him a few bucks to deliver a forehand. Yes. Or the one way it can't be tracked. eat it all. Was that Seinfeld? Too much. When Newman gave the mail to Kramer?

That's a good job, too, delivering mail. You get paid good at work. Retirement. You get to drive on the wrong side of the car. Oh, yeah. Come on. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

These celebrities have these degrees. No idea. Rebel Wilson has a law degree. That's pretty cool. She's funny. She's a lawyer. She's a lawyer. Yeah, she has a law degree.

Not all a lot degrees are a lawyer. Oh, really? You have passed bar. Oh. I think about that. Yeah. Yeah. But maybe she did.

I don't know. J.K. Rowling. J.K. Rowling, however he's their name. She has a degree in French, but isn't she foreign? So it kind of makes sense. Yeah. Like, she's British. I figure they know all the British language.

All the European languages. Ashton Coucher has a Bachelor in Biochemical Engineering. See, that one shocks me. You ever see the story about him, the girl he was dating with her house. She was dead. What? Oh, yes, yes, yes. Walk down that hole.

That's crazy one. Like, he looked in the window. and he didn't call the cops, went home. She was an actress or a model or something? No, maybe some kind of model. I think she was an actress, though. Where can I go down this rabbit hole? TikTok.

There's a whole documentary. You got to Google it. Screw that. A little place called TikTok. Yeah, that's where I get all my info. That's where I've seen the whole thing. I mean, I've seen like 100 people talking about it different. It's crazy.

Okay. Like, he didn't say anything. And they like it. In February 2001, Ashley Ellorin, who says Ashton Kutcher was dating at the time. But I don't believe they'd ever been on a date, had they, Morgan? Ashley Cudor and who? This person who was murdered. I want to say that either they had been on one or this was going to be the first one.

I can't remember. It was very early. Yeah. While never a suspect, Coutcher testified to the 2019 trial of a serial killer Michael Gargulio, how ever say that? I don't know, but it seems a little shadier than just what that says in that little block there. Don't you agree? But I think he called the cop. No, not right to why you didn't.

According to the story. You need to go rewatch whatever documentary you watched. It was a long time ago. Was it 20, what? I'm not saying anything. anything. I'm just saying it's a bizarre story. You think you just call the cops immediately.

Yeah, you see like a dead body wouldn't you want to? Yeah, anyway, he's got a bachelor in biochemical engineering. But he's not dumb. He seems dumb, but obviously he's not dumb. No, he just played a character that's dumb. He doesn't even seem dumb. He doesn't. He played Kelso who was a dumb character. He doesn't seem goofy, like even in punk, like, oh, I got you.

Like, he just seems like... Young. I think that's young. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, uh, I just learned this too. People are not their characters. Correct. I know. I do that crap too sometimes.

Lisa Kutro has a Bachelor in Biology. Chris Martin from Coldplay has a degree in Latin and Greek and Courtney Kardashian has a Bachelor in Theater Arts. What lunchbox? Okay. Back to Ashton Kutcher. He was supposed to go out with her that night. Instead, he went to the Emmys and went out and then he was like, man, I should go

by and say I'm sorry. And he went and knocked on the door. She didn't answer. And he peered in the window and he saw red. Like blood, right? But he thought it was red wine that had spilled and that she went out with her girlfriends and so he went home and the next morning he found out that she was dead

oh my gosh that was blood and not red wine see not that shady but it feels like there's more to it than that from TikToks I saw on TikTok's true although why was he peering in the window if she just didn't answer why wouldn't he just leave well he just looked in the window it was an apartment it also a caller oh and you text her

no this back before that's true that's a good point yeah that's true yeah it's sent her a letter mail I don't know they have they have cell phones in 2001 huh did we have Did we have texts in 2001? Dude, I don't even, I don't know what we have now. We did, I mean, but it was like you had to pay for every text.

Showing up late. He assumed she'd gone out with a friend. She was found dead. I don't know. This story that I'm reading now doesn't give me the full shady that the people on TikTok gave me. Because they play that music behind them that's like something no good's happening. That's when I know something no good's happening when that music's playing. Okay, that's it.

Thank you. We'll see you Monday. Bye everybody. to the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant. I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families

if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich.

I think I appreciate it now much more than I ever did before. Yeah, I was going to ask, like the shows that you guys are playing, they're massive. Did you expect a creed reemergence ever to the level it is now? I had no expectations of it ever, you know, coming. back as big as it has.

I mean, the last tour was sold out. I mean, we were doing 20 plus thousand a night. I mean, it was crazy. And I was grateful. There were moments, man, where my eyes were just, you know, watering with gratitude. Emotional because of why? Just because I know what it's like to have it. And I know what it's like to not.

And so there's a much greater appreciation and respect for everything and everyone around me. It takes a village. What is your favorite part of your job? Writing. Writing music, being in the studio. That's the favorite. Do you write for other people at all?

Are you just Scott Stapp, Creed, and it? I have. I have written songs for other people. I've submitted them and whatnot, but I'm known for what I do with the music I write for myself and for Creed. When you sing, there is a definite passion from your voice, a different passionate from your body. You also sing in a way that not a lot of people can emulate because how you sing is very difficult.

I've tried. Even in the shower, I cannot get there. If you're sick, do you have to like take it down a key? Do you ever have to like drop it down? Because it seems so hard, so difficult to sing how you sing so often. Well, you don't sing sick. I can't do it. So

You're just like, I got a cold, shows off Have to, you know We played with you And I remember thinking, I don't know how he does this every night Because you go so hard Do you feel the pressure to keep herself Extremely healthy because of that? Very much so, very much so

At this stage in my life And in my career, health is My number one priority for all aspects of my life You know, as a father, as a musician And as a touring performer, it's critical. Do you ever go to a restaurant and notice somebody is Googling to see if that's you you're standing next to and you see their phone?

You're like, Scott, do you ever see that or like they're on your Instagram seeing if that's you? I've never seen that. It's probably happened. I definitely see the looks when people kind of give me a double look. You know, like where do I know him from? But, you know, I'm sure that there's been some Googling going on. Are you ever like, hey, you can just ask, because at times,

people may be like just like staring and like following and you can be like hey you can just ask for a picture you ever do that like because it's an awkward thing because I've done I've done that before and they're like no I wasn't trying to get a picture I was just like looking up ahead of you but I think if people are like following you around are you ever like yeah it's me guys I'd love to take a picture with you yeah I have just recently at the Opry I was backstage and I saw this young man he's probably about 10 or 11 years old and he looked at his mom and they looked at me and they were trying to figure out what to do. And I was like, hey, come on over here. And that's exactly what he wanted. So, you know, I never turned down pictures. Black Butterfly, the current single.

How many times take you to sing that one through? Oh, man. Feels difficult. I'm be honest. Phil's difficult. You know, with that particular recording session and writing session, I was writing and immediately recording because I felt on this current record, it was important for me to capture the moment of creation because everything was so emotional. I was going through so much in my life, so much of my personal life and things that I was dealing with were coming out in the studio. And I didn't feel like I could go back and recapture that like I've done in the past by making demos and then going back in and re-singing. So a lot of that, I'll be honest with you, was literally in the moment of creation. I would jump up to the mic, sing, go back, rewrite some lyrics.

jump up and sing. I can't remember exactly how many times, but it wasn't many. But singing inspired then is a bit different because, I mean, if you're writing it, you're singing inspired rather than three months later hopping into a studio. Yeah, and I wanted to capture that on this record was important to me. What does fame feel like? You know, at this point in my career, I'm grateful. I mean, it's provided an incredible life for my children, incredible opportunities for me and for them.

and so I'm grateful. I understand it in a whole different way than I did when I was young. I understand, you know, the impact and the influence that I have and the responsibility that comes with it. So it's definitely something that I'm grateful for. You know, I'm living a life of gratitude, man, because I've had the high highs and the low lows, like I shared with you before. And so when you get a second chance or a third chance or a fourth chance, you don't take it for granted.

What did fame feel like in your 20s? Man, I was flying so high and, you know, I had blinders on and I was so naive, so idealistic. And literally went into it expecting the outcome. You know, there was no plan B. You know, when it was Creed, you know, and the guys would share with you. That, you know, that's how I looked at it. We are going to make it. We're going to be the biggest band in the world.

And I believe that. Pre-success, you had this. Pre-success. Yeah. And they would share with you in an interview if you interviewed them that I talked like that at band rehearsal. And that was just, I had no idea how difficult and, you know, what an anomaly it is to have that kind of success. I expected it. I thought that's what was supposed to happen.

and it wasn't until, you know, when we went through the phase where it was gone, where I realized, you know, you know, what a gift that was, how fortunate I was, and that it was, it was not something that happens to a lot of people. And so, you know, again,

I'm just living grateful. Whose idea was it? And I'm going to do a sound, and tell me if you know where it comes from. You know what? is? Yes, that is Jagger Stapp. That's his heartbeat. With arms

wide open. Yeah, we actually... That's actual heartbeat. It's not his, like, Bobby was making that sound with his throat. Yeah, mine didn't sound like a heart beat. Like I was choking on. That is. That, on the song, and with arms wide open, we actually recorded Jagger's heartbeat while he was in the womb. Wow.

And put that... That's so cool. Put that on the record, yeah. Because when I think I like you guys, a song and I was a massive fan, and actually, That's when I used to pay for tickets to go to stuff. Like I paid. I'll take a reimbursement if you want. But I remember thinking like of everything that I think of,

the first thing that I think of is that heartbeat before the song, before the guitar riff starts. I did not know that that was your son. That is awesome. What does he think about that? This may be the first time, when he listens to this this morning, this may be the first time that we've talked about it or that he knows. I may have told him years ago, but we haven't talked about it in so long.

Intellectual property is going to sue. I feel it right now. He's like, that's my arm, man. You can't do that. Did you feel like you were charismatic as a young man or a kid enough to be a front man? Or did it develop? I think I definitely had a charismatic aspect to my personality, especially to my performances. I'm much different in my private life.

You know, I'm kind of a hermit, you know, kind of recluse a little bit. But yeah, I definitely, you know, began to understand that there was a charisma about my performances, that I was just out there reacting to the music, to the energy, to the vibe. But looking back, I can definitely see that that was something that was, you know, magnetic and that connected with people. Will you tell me about your opera performance that day? That was, you know, I've only been extremely nervous a couple other times in my career, you know, where you hear that expression, your knees are knocking. I never knew what that felt like until I sang God Bless America game four of the World Series

when the Red Sox won. I got on top of the dugout, and my knees were literally shaking uncontrollably. And I almost got to that point the other night at the Opry as everything began to sink in to realize what an honor and a privilege it was to get that invitation and how it was greeted by everyone. And I felt the nerves like, you better have a good performance. I realized that it was something that was going to last forever. And by the grace of God, you know, my voice showed up and it was a good night. I see a lot of people say Creed saved my life.

Like they say that. Your music resonates in different ways to a lot of people, especially their overcoming personal struggles. What song would you say most people bring up to you with that sentiment? You know, I think most recently, it's been one last breath. That song has been, you know, connecting with the audience in this younger generation in a profound way. You know, for years and years it was with arms wide open and higher. But one last breath has just surged.

And, you know, I think a lot of people understand what it feels like to kind of be at the end of your rope. and beaten down by life when you realize that it's not quite what we think it is when we're kid and sometimes we feel like giving up but you know like that song says I still believe and I think that that

moment of inspiration in the bridge of that song really identifies with people and inspires them and it definitely did me you know, in writing that song. What do you eat before a show? Because there's something that gives you like bad heartburner, you don't want to eat it? I don't eat three hours before show,

and I have to be really careful because you're right. When did you figure out? You don't want to. You know, there's just a time limit. You know, I'm such a routine-oriented guy. Got to be careful because I have had that, you know, little burp there with tasting something spicy, you know, when I'm on stage years and years,

ago and I realized I can't do that anymore. So, you know, no spicy foods, eat clean and get myself a good three hours before the show. I'm going to ask you two Mount Rushmore type questions. So let's take all of your music off of it. But like the four artists that influence you most, if you had to do a Mount Rushmore as a child, young man, who would you put on your Mount Rushmore? I would put Elvis, Def Leopard, U-2, and the Doors. Did you get a chance to meet Elvis would have been tough? Yeah. That had been tough for you to meet.

The doors would have been tough. I did get to, you know, of course, I didn't meet Jim. He passed, but I did get a chance to rehearse with the doors for about a week and play a show on BH1 with the doors, record, record with the remaining members of the band. So that was an incredible moment. I did get to meet The Edge from U.S. two. I was going to meet Bono. He had something going on and the edge came over and put his arm around me. And he's like, hey, Bono's got stuff going on right now. And, you know, this killer,

you know, accent. He had Bono's back, which I thought was extremely cool. And so I've had a lot of, you know, milestone memories that, you know, it's like pinch me. It's a dream come true. Def Leopard guys? Another funny story. I'm glad you said that. I was in. the UK doing press for a record in like 2012 or 13 and I went into a radio station and one of the guys from death lepp left deaf leopard worked at the radio station at that time and he interviewed me oh wow so it was an interesting thing there now if I go Mount Rushmore of creed songs what would you put on that oh that's got to be you know one last breath my sacrifice higher and our

arms wide open. You know, mine was a chorus in session the bird of tears end. That's another one too. I guess we could I guess we could throw that one up there too. That's my part right there. You got it, brother. You got to come of Bridgestone sing with us, man. Can you imagine?

Everybody leaves? The biggest Creed fans ever be like, is it a joke? Like, what's happening right now? So I do want to ask about Dorothy. Yes. So tell me about Dorothy. I've heard so much about her. I have not met her and you have these song, if these walls could talk with Dorothy. What about her makes you think that she's something special? Her voice just blew me away when I saw her at a show that she had opened for us.

She's got a generational voice. It has so much character, so much soul. And, you know, when we wrote the song and I was looking for a female vocalist to do a duet on, when I heard her sing, I knew she was the one. And I think what made it even more impactful is I was in car line picking up my kids from school and I always run stuff by my daughter. She's a musician. She plays, she records, and she's been writing and playing since she was four or five years old. So she's my litmus test. And I also, you know, in part of kind of teaching her how to write songs and produce and other things, I always play songs for her, ask for her input, you know, should I edit here, should I edit there? So I picked her up and I had just gotten the song with Dorothy on it.

And I said, hey, baby, I want to play something. I want your honest feedback. You know, if there's any edits or changes. And I didn't tell her that there was a female vocal on this version. She had only heard the version with me on it. So we're driving home. I play the song. Dorothy comes in and she looks at me and tears are coming down her face.

And she's got goosebumps all over her body. and she said, Daddy, who is that? And I knew right then that I made the right choice with my instincts and, you know, she was the one. When writing and creating new music, whenever you have songs and albums that have gone platinum, super platinum, diamond, Jupiter, I don't really know how high it gets,

but you guys have it all. How do you kind of compete with yourself or how do you stay true to who you were? versus who, how you want to grow as an artist? You know, for me, I just stay in the moment and I stay in just, I don't think about the past, I don't think about the future. I'm in the moment creating based on what I'm feeling and experiencing and what is inspiring me at that time. And I really have always been that way.

You know, back in the day when people would talk about, you know, oh, it's your sophomore record. you know, are you concerned, you know, after Crete had blown up on my own prison? And when I got asked those questions, I kind of stepped back and I was like, should I be thinking this way? I don't even think that way. I'm in the moment. I'm creating what's on my heart now. I'm not thinking about any pressure or trying to be or do anything. Everything is just right now coming from the heart and wrapping those lyrics and those melodies in the music that fits the moment. I listen to Higher Power. It's been out a while, right? I'm not crazy. It's been out since... It's been out since I think April.

April? March or April, yeah. So I've listened to it. It's been a while since I've sat in deep dove it. Are there songs that are kind of like fulky or like different than just metal or like electric guitar tone? Am I crazy? Yeah, no, no, you're not crazy. You know, the album's very layered, very textured, you know, songs like You're Not Alone, you know, very acoustic, you know, other stripped down instruments, you know, walls. If these walls could talk is another one. Then I end the record with Weight of the World, which is another kind of just vocal, clean guitar.

So it's not your typical rock record. You know, it just kind of is what it is. I didn't plan it that way. You know, the dressing and the music that wrapped the vocal melodies and the lyrics were just appropriate for the song. I didn't think about it. I didn't go in with any particular idea of I'm trying to make this record. The record just kind of made itself.

I think I wish my work made itself. I'm over here slaving away, like trying to get crap be funny. I'm never like, yeah, made itself. So Crete extended their summer 99 reunion tour. And I'm looking at the dates. So you're going more dates in November all the way through November 15th. I mean, I'm looking at, I watch and see how big, I mean, you guys are selling a lot of tickets. That's got to be so fun.

that people are just dying to come back? It's put a lot of pressure on me. I'll be honest with you. When I found out that the average tickets were being sold to 18 to 35-year-olds, I thought, okay, we've got a younger audience. I'm thinking maybe half the audience or less is going to be that demographic.

And about two shows in, I asked the audience how many people are here for the first time for a Creed show. And about 90% of the audience raised their hand. And so from that show on, you know, I'm 51. I was like, I've got to win this audience. This could be a one and done. You know what I mean? This could be a bucket list for these folks.

And so it was like, okay, I got to go back to, I got to turn it on like I'm 25. And, you know, by the end of the tour, I was walking around like a retired NFL player. You know, my knees are shot. You know, I'm my elbow, everything. But, you know, I felt like I had to win them over. just like it was 1996, 97 all over again. So all the way until December and all the cities are chosen, Oklahoma City, Little Rock, Kansas City, Nashville, Biloxi, Corpus.

I could keep going, but go to the website, which is creed.com. Some more of our friends, three doors down, like love Brad, been close to Brad. Like, I mean, it's awesome. It's so cool to see what you guys are doing now and how much people care. And it's hard to get anybody to care about anything. It's not just anything at all. It's hard to get people to care about anything. and the fact that you guys are just crushing it.

That's super fun. Final question. Well, two final questions. Do you ever sing your old hits in the shower? When I'm preparing for tour, I will sing. What's the one in the shower? I mean, I go through the set list. You know what I mean?

It's a long shower. You know, get my voice. That's a long shower. He comes out full wrinkled. He's like, I'm so wrinkled. When I say shower, I mean bathroom too. So it's into the shower. during the shower, after the shower,

just to kind of get the voice. You know, for sure. Be like, can you take me higher? That's a shower song. Yeah. Because that's the only place I sound good singing that one is higher. With arms wide open, I can kind of do that, as you heard, I'm pretty good at that one here.

Yeah, you are. That's pretty good. You are. You got it, man. I'm a massive fan, and I'm going to say, it was my final question. I'm not going to say exactly where. But is it true you work out at a very public gym?

Yes. Because sometimes people will say, I think I saw Scott Stapp at so-and-so, and I'm like, no chance. Turns out they're not lying. There's a chance. They're not lying. He goes in. That's awesome.

Also, he's like Jack, too. Like, I wouldn't want to hop on a bench press and try to do the same way. You'd have to take some off. You know, when you have to work out with a guy that's a little weaker than you Scott, and you're like, go ahead and take the 10 off. That would be me. Thank you. I'll keep my mouth shut and just accept that.

Yes, that would be me. At Scott Stapp, you guys can follow him. is higher power. And if these walls could talk with Dorothy, it's on the album, but it is not like a single yet, right? Am I correct on that? It is not yet, but it is about to be. Oh, it is? Yeah. So, I'm ready to have that to you. I'm excited about that. And we're, you know, we're really trying to find a spot where it'll land. And so we got some good, good folks doing that, doing that research and I'm ready to share it with the world because I think there's a lot of people out there that have felt those feelings.

And I think you could connect with a lot of people. Scott, thank you for coming in. You know, I'm a big fan. I've said it four times. Thank you. Just, yeah, you're the coolest guy. You don't have to be the coolest guy. You've been the coolest guy to me.

So I thank you for today. And thank you for everything. And man, good luck. And I hope the tour continues to sell like crazy. And you have to keep extending this sucker. Thank you so much. Right there is. Scott staffed, everybody.
