And my boyfriend was with me and he thought it was a worker. And he's like, oh, that looks like Kane Brown. I'm like, oh, that is.

That is him. this whole family. Was anyone bothering him? No. No one was doing anything at all, just letting him check out, you know? Did you do what Lunchbox does? Hey, Kay, around! You know, I thought about it, and I was like, that would be so awkward. It would. Because everybody would have looked, it's quiet in there. It'd have been awkward for everybody. Yes. Him, you. It wouldn't be awkward for everybody around, but...

I would never do something like that. Lunchbox, you saw Kane, too. We talked about this? Yeah, I saw Kane, and it was a Disney Ice thing or whatever at the Opry land, and he was there with his family and his wife was at the ticket window and I just was like man that's cane brown I hadn't seen them since the holidays so I went up and you're presenting it so chill right now and I was like man they let cane brown come to or cane brown comes to things like this and referred to him as cane brown in front of them and like kind of third person yeah kind of like just chilled we talked and then later I realized man I probably blew up his spot that's probably bad but cane's pretty normal as you can tell by every place everybody sees him it's like

saw a cane at chick-fil-a saw cane at dick's saw a cat at the ice thing with his family. Yeah. Yeah, he's pretty normal, dude. Abby, thank you very much. Anybody else seen any celebrities around town before we... I see Eric Church all the time at sport in events. Oh, okay.

All the time. Yeah, yeah, like watching his kids play basketball or whatever, baseball. Does anyone bother him? No one even knows it's him. Like, I have to tell people like, yeah, that's Eric. How about you don't do that? See, there you go. There's not doing it loudly.

They're not doing it. No. I'm like, how cool. There's Eric Church out there watching his kid. They're like, that's not Eric Church. Yes, it is. He's not wearing sunglasses. But no, it's like Clark, Clark Kent, no one knows it's him without sunglasses.

Are you trying to get cool points with other dads to show you know. Oh, no, I think it's just, oh yes, yes. Yeah, like saying, hey man, that's Eric Church. You're not saying you know him. No, I just say like, look, how cool Eric Church is right there. But do you kind of act like, you know him a little bit? No, no, because I don't want them to be like, hey, go talk to him. Like, I don't know him.

Like, Eric Church, if I went to him, he wouldn't know who I was. And you've met him a couple times. Totally. But we're not tight like that. I saw Nicole Kimman hiking again. Really? Just the other day. But I didn't say me.

You didn't go, who knew Nicole Kidman came hiking? No. Who knew? Yeah, but it's the same, yeah, I've seen her there, I guess probably a couple of months ago I saw her, and then I just saw her just the other day.

And who does she hike with? She was a friend. Yeah, it seemed to me the same friend that I saw her with last time. And I've also seen Keith on the same trail, but not with her separate. That's cool. So, I saw her.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman at the Preds game. I didn't see them. Celebres are just like us. Yeah, they're just like us. Morgan, anybody? Yeah, I saw Ryan Hurd when I was out at a Mexican restaurant. He was hanging out at the bar with some friends. And then I also saw the other Abby Anderson at the DMV.

We were just hanging out on the DMV together. Do you know the other Abby Anderson did the music for my special, my comedy special? Oh, yeah. My hired. She is such a great piano player, like music. audition. That's cool. She competed in piano.

She's also a great singer. But she, yeah, I was like, also I really like her. And I hit her up. I was like, hey, I need music for my comedy special. So I paid her and she did all the music for it. That's cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool.

Mike, anybody? Yeah, I see Scott Stapp, the Leettinger Crete at the gym all the time. That's cool. Work out the same gym. I'll just see him like over there. He's there for like two, three hours. Wow.

Is he cut off guy? Yeah, he's cut off guy, like with a cutoff hoodie, and then he'll wear the hoodie up. He wears the cuff. cut off hoodie. That's Waller. If you can pull that off. If you can pull it off.

Because there's some guys that do it and you can't really pull that off. Because that's a commitment. And he keeps the hood up. Do you think so people don't bother him? Sometimes he have it up. Sometimes he'll just be normal. Does he keep the hood up?

Do you think for A, so people don't bother them or for B to keep heat in? Because that's a thing, right? But also his arms are free. I think it goes pretty hard. So I think he likes the hood up. Oh, so it's just like a picture in the right frame of mind? Yeah.

Dang, that's good. Ray, anybody? Yeah, I saw Ali Killeen. She was at my house one weekend, chilling. And then another weekend I saw Eric Dodd at his house. Those are his friends. You're with them all the time. But they're just like us.

I saw Ringo Star at my house doing an interview. You did, though. That's crazy. I know. That is another edition of celebrities, just like us. Kind of. Amy, brace yourself. This is a voicemail we got.

Go ahead. Yeah, hey, long. listener, but I listen to the podcast. Amy's talking about her boyfriend or not talking about her boyfriend. And I thought it was outed fully with her and Morgan because when I heard the best fits with Morgan and Amy, she answered like seven or eight questions from Morgan about her boyfriend. Other than that, it seems like she's already shared. Don't know what the big deal is. Happy for. Have a great show. Morgan asked me questions. So I answered.

This is ridiculous. I don't even, yeah. I don't know, whatever. I don't know what, I don't even remember what the questions were. What is it about us that you don't want to share? I'm happy to talk about whatever y'all want to. So here's the whole story.

Amy was like, right before the break, we went away for vacation, Christmas. She said, hey, I feel like we can talk about this now. And I'm like, cool. Let's wait a second. We'll pick the time, whatever. It's not like other stuff that gets in the way or gets confusing about it. And so then it was, hey, she talked about it on her podcast.

and I was like, oh. But I didn't. But you said you did because nobody even knew you had a boyfriend. And I don't care. You can talk about it all you want, wherever you want. But she was like, we can do like the announcement. But I was like, well, there is no announcement. We'll just bring it up like normal at this point.

And so that's where it was, we talked about it earlier, where Amy talked about in her podcast. And she was like, it's okay. No one knows except for my listeners. And I'm like, all good. And then, yeah, that was it. but we were Amy had asked hey can we do it

and do a deal about it's like yes give me time we'll make sure that it's not happening at a time where it's confusing with any of the other content and that was it and so then she announced it on hers and I'm like well we're not going to do a big announcement now because you've already done it

and then apparently you guys did a special on Morgan's best bits I got to listen to that Barbara Walter special of Amy and her boyfriend it wasn't a special it was after you guys had talked about it here on the show she answered the listener voicemail And I was just like, do you guys do anything for Valentine's Day? It's kind of what we talked about.

We can put on 25 whistles. Yeah, I wasn't doing anything and it wasn't an announcement of my podcast. Like, I had, I've talked about my podcast ever since I started dating, even dating other people. Like, it's just stuff that wasn't coming up here. So I was, then it flowed into like, I'm sitting there talking to my friend that's my co-host. And she's like, oh, and I'm like, oh, yeah, this guy, then dating. She was like, well, you know, I'm like, yeah, my boyfriend. And then we continue on.

but I didn't say anything about the relationship or any details. Like I haven't said anything. If I were to make an analogy when LeBron was picking his team and he was like, when I want to announce it until we get live and he was like, he ends up going to Miami. I'm going to take my talent to South Beach. If like on Twitter earlier, he was like, yeah, I want to do an announcement. I mean, I'm going to be in South Beach anyway, but from my next team. But I'm going to do an announcement.

Then people would be like, well, there's no need for a big announcement. You just did it. Okay. Yeah. And I, well, and I've tried to talk to you about how I, It just came out. It wasn't like a thing where I was trying to... But it's edited.

It's recorded. Yeah, it's recorded. But I didn't think it was going to be a thing that mattered. Like, I felt like I was just being myself and saying it. I wasn't trying to make some... It doesn't matter. That's the point. Like, it doesn't matter.

Now it just exists and is. Okay. But if you come, you're like, hey, I want to make a big... I just feel like we've talked about our personal lives more on the show. And it's not, like, I want whatever awkwardness that it is that is, that is here because I mentioned it on my podcast. I think you're missing the point. It was that you came and said,

hey, I want to do an announcement. We can do it now. I don't know that it has to be, I don't know that I, it has to be an announcement. I said, I'm ready to talk about it when,

when we talk about it. Like, I, I'm ready to talk about it. Like, I'm so, I don't know. I wish I could just go back

and undo saying anything so that it wasn't, like, it just felt normal and like a thing because it's a really happy, exciting time and it just doesn't feel like I get to, like I'm sharing. it with y'all um you haven't shared it yeah i know well i did on your podcast with morgan but i i just said yeah i have a boyfriend i haven't said like y'all don't know anything nothing and it seems like

like in the past we would all share different things on here and it would be like exciting parts of our lives which is why you were like hey let's do it and i'm like cool give me a second because i did say that give me a second let's wait until and then you didn't give me a second well knowing that i said that on my podcast, now you know, like, what I said and how I said it and that I wasn't saying much, then, which is why I was trying to apologize. And then you said, that's what she was talking about. And then you said, I don't, I'm good. I don't, no, I am good. Like, I knew what it was. So did lunchbox. Lunchbox knew immediately. Yeah. Yeah. Why did you know? Uh, just the way Bobby reacted. I mean, just, I mean, I just knew. I knew exactly what it was. I don't know something about how being part of the show for 20 years. I know how Bobby reacts to certain things and the feelings towards it.

And I'm like, I know it is. Like I can feel the, I can feel the weirdness. Yeah. I never said, cool. Hey, Amy, do you want to do this? But she was like, hey, let's do this. I'm like, cool, give it a minute. Wait till we're ready.

Right. And then. And I'm saying I, I messed up. And that's what I wanted to apologize. I don't think you messed up. That's why you don't need to apologize. I don't know how to say. I know.

It doesn't feel right to be like messed up. But whatever the flow is, you're right, we did have a conversation. And I messed with that. So however we want to say it, I take responsibility for how I went about that. And I'm like, oh, that's something I want to go back and undo just so that it could open it up for here, where we have always talked about things like the highs and the lows and bringing parts of our story. Now, there are some things in our lives that are absolutely private and personal. but there is a lot that we do end up sharing. And this is something where I'm like,

oh, yeah, this is, like, listeners have walked through so many seasons of our lives with us, that this is something where it would feel fun to talk about. That's not the same thing. I would say it's like, if Morgan's like, hey, we broke up, I don't ready to talk about it yet. I will give you the exact date that we can do it. Eddie's like, I dot, we have kids.

Now I'm going to give you the exact time, and then we can do a thing, like a specific thing. lunchbox. I drank a beer. I don't know what lunchbox has, but it was just that. It was like, hey, we're going to do this. And kind of the form flow is,

cool, you told me this, let's plan it out, make sure everybody feels good about it, and then do it. I literally don't care. But then you were like, I'm sorry. I'm like, there's no need to be sorry.

Like, you can do whatever you want in your podcast. I don't, but there was no announcement because the announcement was you going, yeah, I have a boyfriend. So for what you asked of me, I couldn't provide for you because you did it. You did it.

Okay, yeah, I'm not. I don't, and to make it clear, it feels weird because I don't need some big, like, it doesn't have to be an announcement, but it is a part of my life and we talk about our lives on the show. So I want to go back and undo it. I can't. So that's what I'm saying. Like, I messed with what we talked about. So how do we move forward? We don't.

Okay. Ever. Or we do. No, we just do. And we move forward. Like we've already moved forward. We don't move forward. Yeah.

So I don't know. Now it feels like, I don't know. I don't know, honestly. Have you all met him? You met him? No. I haven't met him. I was waiting for the big announcement.

Yeah. I've seen video of them. Oh, really? Yeah, on some like spa website or something. Yeah, her friend Lauren, she works there and she posted that. And I was like, well, I hadn't said anything. She was like, oh, whoopsie. I was like, whatever, it's fine.

Just leave it up. Like, we're not. It's fine. What was that look for? No, I'm just wondering like, man. So we're never going to hear about it. I don't know. I don't know.

That's where. That's where Bobby, I'm saying I don't know what to do because there are things that we could talk about, but I don't know how you, like there's things I've wanted to prep and I don't know how to prep it. We're just all a little hurt by it. I'm worried about it. Which is why I was saying. It's not a big deal. We're good.

We're good. It's no big deal. Okay. This two shall pass. We'll grow. How do we go? Like, what do we do? Let's just solve it right here.

Is everybody okay? I mean, I'll be fine. Yeah. I'll be fine. Time heals wounds. Time heals wounds. You mourn. Give it time.

Yeah. There's seven stages of grief. Well, which can't. For the record, for everybody that's here, you can talk about whatever you want, whenever you want, whatever you want, don't care. But if you come and say, hey, I'd like to do this. And then I go, okay, cool. Okay, so this is a thing.

Like you're saying it's not bothering you, but it obviously is bothering you. What I'm saying is, if you do that, then I'm going to wait and find that time because I respect you guys enough to be like, okay, let's find a time to do it. and then we will find something a time together to do whatever you came to me to do. Right. And so otherwise, just be like, hey, you want to talk about this? Cool. Let's do it.

But if you come to me and you go, let's do this, I'm going to respect you enough to hold off and make a thing about it if that's what you're asking for. So then don't do it ahead of that or then I'll be like, oh, why did you even come to me to say, let's do it? Does that make sense? Yeah. Time heals all wounds. Let's talk said it best. He made that up. Amy, when your co-host brought it up, did you think for a second like, ooh, should I say something here?

Well, you can also edit. It's a podcast. Ah, good point. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. And also it's not even like in the grand scheme of things. To me, it wasn't like a big thing.

It wasn't. And then knowing now that it was like waiting to be something here, I don't know. I'm just very uncomfortable about it. And I'm trying to say. I was even going to get a cake for Amy announcement. I haven't said that to her. Oh, we haven't done another cake. I forgot I said that I was going to do an announcement cake about it.

I didn't know that, and I even said to you when you played the voicemail. I was like, I thought we were going to do a cake because it's not like my podcast listeners versus like people who are listening to this show is very different. And now you know that. Now you get emotional and I don't want to do this emotional. But that's what it was on my head now. Because you're not. I want you to just say it bothers you. And that way I can apologize.

But you're saying it's not that big of a deal. I remember why it bothers me because I was going to do a cake. That's what it was. And it was going to be an announcement because she was like, let's do it. Because I think announcement cakes are funny. and we weren't able to do it. I know, and I messed it up, and that's why I'm, I feel like I messed,

I do feel like I messed up and I am a sensitive person and I do get emotional. It's not about, it's just that I want to go back and make it all normal because this should be like a fun normal thing. Like, stuff just feels different sometimes and I want to go back to whatever it's felt like sometimes where we just all open up and share about things.

But I don't think that's not the case. I know now why I was a bit irritated because I was getting a cake. I'd already ordered the cake for the Amy announcement. You'd already ordered it? Yes. Okay, well, I feel horrible about that. Like, I hate that. But it does matter.

No, I just wanted cake. Wait, so where's the cake, man? There is no cake. Yeah, there's no cake. So you ordered it, but then you'll cancel it. No, I got the cake, but I just ate it. We didn't put an announcement on. I just ate it.

Oh. I just got it home. Well, now I feel, yes, I feel extra. There's no need to feel bad. But I do. These are my feelings, and I know that I messed with something that we talked about doing and it wasn't an intentional on purpose thing. I agree, which is why I'm not mad. I'm not mad. Okay. Well,

I remember the cake now and that's why I think I was like, oh, ordered a cake for this. Right. So how do we move past it? Like can we just, uh, okay, I'll get you a cake. I'll take a cake. I'll get a cake to, I don't know. There's just, like, and I've texted Caitlin about, like, let's do something so that you can meet him. Like, it's just, we're in this weird season of our lives, I think that we've talked about it. If my wife has a secret, she doesn't share secrets to me that she's not supposed to. I thought married people shared secrets that they weren't supposed to share with their husbands and wives.

Like when someone says don't tell anyone. She doesn't tell me. That's kind of cool. No, it's not. I thought husbands and wife always told their secrets. I got an idea. We got to bring him in for a Friday morning conversation. I don't know that he'll do.

Friday morning conversation with. He's not, he's not public, but I just. We're good, you're good, Amy. You're good, Amy. So breaking news, Amy has a boyfriend? Yeah, but it's not. When did it break? Like a long ago.

I don't know. Probably two months ago. What was a source? Amy, on her podcast. Four things. Casually. So I can't do a cake if it's already been announced. Okay, but then, how, when do we move on and get some of it out there of like what my life is like now that I am divorced and co-parenting?

Can we just get a cake? Let's just get a cake. Have a boyfriend. It was a perfect cake. It was birthday cake flavor with sprinkles. Oh, dang it. And it had a guy and a girl on it but looked like married, but not married. That wasn't the married thing.

So cool. I know. Because we're not married. I know, but it was like man and woman. You could eat the man and woman too. Oh. But like there's things. Made a chocolate.

Love chocolate. Okay. Okay, well. I hope we can move past this and get out. And then we can start sharing some things because I would like y'all to know more. Well, you tell them, well, turn the mics off, and you let them know. You can just ask a way. Oh, no.

I think that there's, no, I think there's things that I feel ready to share with listeners that I haven't said at all that I think in coming alongside other people, at least that I've heard from, that are divorced and dating and not feeling that hopeful about it and what it's like out there and fear about dating certain types of people because I certainly feared dating my husband, my boyfriend, period. Like I was, I avoided going out with him for like eight months. Did you say that to Morgan on the best bits? Do you guys talk about that? No, we never got into any of that. It really was like surface level about Valentine's Day. Because you guys had just talked about Valentine's Day and the voicemail about the boyfriend came in. Like the big thing about him, I haven't said at all.

So. Well, let's do it on 25 whistles. Like I said. Oh, perfect. Okay. Sounds great. All right. All right. Thanks. A win is a win.

A win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep. That's me. me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John. I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money.

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.

Bobby Bone Show. Don't worry up the time. This story comes us from West Depford, New Jersey. A 53-year-old man has a restraining order out of...

Bobby Bone Show. This story comes us from West Depford, New Jersey. New Jersey. All right. Atella. Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Norry up the day.

This story comes us from New Jersey. A 53-year-old man has a restraining order out against him, but you know what? He's like, I'm just going to stop by and see how the victim's doing. So he stops by the... What? Just a check. What? Okay. Stops by the house.

And they call police. So he leaves and goes back to his house. He's in his garage and they show up. And what do they find? A lab. Illegal guns. Everything in the garage. What was a lab for?

Was it for like discovering a cure for cancer? No. I didn't think so, but I was asking. A drug lab. Photo lab. No, no, no, no. A drug lab. that could have blown up.

Like the lab, like, I've got my pin in the lab writing the songs. No, no, no, not like Eminem. No. Yeah, yeah. No, no, not that. An illegal lab. Yeah. Oh, like Labrador retrievers.

Oh, a lab. Oh, that's good too. Yeah, that's good. So none of that? No, they said that he was charged with the ability to blow up innocent people because of his lab. Oh, gosh. I never heard of that charge. So it wasn't a drug lab?

No, it was. It's a bomb lab. No, no, it's a drug lab, but meth labs can blow up. Yeah, you know, I'm familiar with that. But that's what they charged them with. Yeah, it's a family that blew up. Boy, it was a lab. A lab is a really, it's a rudimentary thing.

But I'm not going to throw them under the bus. They share my last name. Blew up their trailer. They had a small trailer outside their trailer. A camper trailer. And they, I almost say we because it's like family. But I was never. I didn't do it, guys, okay?

But like, blew up, almost died. like blew up the like boom blew up the trailer all the trailers in the wood deep in the woods so nobody got in trouble but yeah i've seen a couple meth labs well afterward one blow up and then one catch fire i've seen the catch fire one oh but they're dirty when we say lab i'm telling you guys it looks like a the ones i've seen that aren't high quality not crystal meth they look like a really terrible college dorm room stuff strode everything everywhere, food, pizza, chemicals. Awful.

Yeah, it's not like clean with my coats. No, no beakers. Yeah, none of that. Okay, well, I'm glad to hear that the person also wasn't hurt when they stopped by for a visit. Yeah, when he stopped by their house, he didn't have anything, but it led all the police to his garage and boom, see you later. There you go. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day. Okay, keep rolling for a second. Scuba, question.

Yes. We're recording all this. Now, we're going to take that good bonehead. successful one and that'll air on the show. Okay. My question is, Scoob and I were in a meeting a couple days ago and he's like, hey, we may have a client that comes on and they want to like highlight

when people will mess up. Mine? Oh, interesting. And then I say something like that's the way you mess up. I don't know what it is. Oh, yeah. And you hand them something to like make their morning better. That's what it is. Okay, and this doesn't have to be a lunchbox thing. Yes, okay, yeah. Because it can be an Amy thing

or a me thing or whatever. Because at times, especially for recording, like a bonehead. And the reason, because the radio show only heard the good bonehead. The podcast is hearing this. The reason we do some of what we call a benchmark,

like the bonehead or the tell me something good, we'll record them before the show because they get sent out to affiliates because they run them at different times all day long. So they'll run on our show, but then they may run them at noon or three and be like, here's the tell me something good of the day. Here's the bonehead.

So those are recorded. And do we want to say who it might be? It doesn't matter, right? It's fine. It's Starbucks. They're ready to drinks. Yeah. So Starbucks was like, hey, we want to do it like an integration, they call it. And I'm like, well, we don't mess up live like that because if we're doing it, it's recorded. And but the podcast gets millions of listens. And if lunchbox is messed up, then I'd say what? You'd say something like, hey, man, you're having a morning.

Grab one of these. And then I hand them something. It's like coffee. Yeah. Yeah. That's funny. And lunchbox doesn't drink coffee, but you would just take it and be like. Yeah, I'm just taking it and be like, thanks, thanks. Thank you. I need that. throw it against the wall. To be fair, he does it to himself. He picks cities like, Mechalaka'i, Mechah, Mechahani.

Oh, Ohio. Just say Ohio. I agree. I don't pick the cities, man. The cities pick me. I know, but you can ignore that and just like, Ohio. I'm like, oh, I get it got it. It's more personal.

If someone gets to hear their city on the bonehead, I get messages like, oh, my gosh, you said my city. I'm so embarrassed. Selly sells seashells by the seashore and nude. How many sheets could a sheet slittered sheet of a sheet? You know? Or sometimes it really is just a bad day. Yes. Sometimes it's just that same.

Or he has like. Or he has like a glob in his throat. Yes, yeah. And we're like, work it out. Before he came in, work the glob out, he's like, I got it. But that's when you give him one of those Starbucks ready to drinks to give him a little boost. This is from Neubrall. Hold on.

Yep, that happens, man. It does happen. Because we do record this. But why it happens is because it's so early when we record this. Same with Amy, same with myself. And we're like if we're doing countdown or anything like that. So are we close to land in that one? Yeah, they're pretty close.

Yeah, they asked for some other things. But this could, I think, if we're going to give me. this, this should help us seal the deal. Yeah, this wasn't even on purpose. Oh, okay, okay. Just send them this. They'll be hearing this shortly. Yeah, instead it'll be like,

should we throw it out of him? Like, painfully? He has to, like, dodge it. Yeah, this would be awesome. So it's like an actual Starbucks coffee or like a drink? You know the ones you get like grocery stores or gas stations? Yeah, glass bottles, the cans. I'm like, you suck.

Here's your reward. So basically I got us a new client. You did not. It had nothing to do with you. You mess up a lot. You made it easier. That's what I do. Okay, so we will extract that bonehead for the radio show.

Yeah. We've left all this up in the podcast. Correct? Correct, yeah, it's up there, yeah. Okay. Ray's rolling, right? Okay, awesome. Thank you, Ray.

There is. Kipmore, everybody. Back in here. Good to see you, buddy. You look, lean and mean. Just got done surfing for two straight months, so I guess maybe that's it. Do you live in Hawaii? No, I don't live there. I go there, though, for at least like a month every winter.

So what do you do for a whole month? Like, talk me through a day in Hawaii because I'm no idea. You know, normally I'm up before the sun comes up. I used to always ride my bicycle into downtown Lahaina, but that's no longer with us at the moment. Because the fires? Yeah, because the fires. And it's, but it kind of gave me a little hope this time.

I mean, when I was there last year, it was totally like an apocalyptic scene. It was pretty gnarly. This year you're starting to see frames go up, and hopefully that's followed by, you know, business and stuff. But it still was my routine where I take a bike right early morning and I would check the whole South Shore Coast to see anything. I was close by, happening and breaking. And then if nothing's happening, I go to Honolulu Bay usually. I got a truck that I ran out there from my buddy.

And yeah, so it's like a 20-minute drive. And then I'll surf for four or five hours. and then I go to our roots. I get a little coffee and a little lunch, and then I go back out and surf a little longer. And then if some buddies are doing something on the other side of the North Shore, I might mountain bike late in the evening, we'll go up to Holly Aqueville and go all the way down,

and we'll do like a campfire up on Polly Polly and call it a day. You do that every day for a month? It's a different language. I mean, I wouldn't say every single day, but the majority of that, at least pieces of that I'm doing every single day. And when you surf that long, it's got to be something more than just the physical part of it.

I never surfed. So, like, why do you love surfing? You know, Bobby, it's... Think about it like this. I love to snowboard. I love it. Like, I really do. I love playing music.

I love it, like, truly for the purity of it. But either one of those scenarios, but we'll say realistically, Like if you said, oh man, where are you going to snowboarding this year? And I said, you know, Park City. He said, oh, man, you're going to have a blast. But just be careful because every winter over there, there's a big monster that comes out of a mountain and kills like two people on the way down.

I would never snowboard again. That be it. You never see me on the mountain. Surfing is the only thing. I feel like once we get past the age of like, you know, 11, 12, 13, we have happiness and we have joyful moments in life. saying that but to tap in to that childlike spirit of nine, 10, 11 years old is impossible. It's the only thing that does it. So, you know, when I catch a really good wave, it's throttling and I'm on top of like a one foot reef where there's also that danger element of, oh man,

you know, I could die. It's two feet overhead and you see people coming out bloody all the time. When you catch that and you're in it and you feel that euphoric thing that's happened in that moment and it's um you know the waves are like carved in these celestial workshops and it's you know you get out the backside and the sunset and everything you feel like you're a little kid and so i'll you kind of risk that for anything are you able to separate yourself from uh the world and the tasks or troubles of the world because you have to focus on just that is that a part of it you just said it it's the only thing i feel um trapped a little bit but in a maniacal state that I stay in a lot, you know, I can't ever seem to turn that thing off.

And that's the only time that it happens. That's the only thing that I'm doing where everything just kind of goes away. And it's not just like, you know, music and stuff that I'm hearing and, you know, all the time in my head. But it's, I feel everything big and small, like, really deeply. So, you know, I can even remember when we played South Africa last year, I had a moment. I've been doing some things underground over there, and I had a moment where I met this kid. And I've never had a kid make that kind of impact on me. And I carried it with me for, I mean, it was just constantly in there, you know, for months, it felt like it's the only time that when I'm out there and you're,

in that, that everything goes away. The music, all the things that come with, the madness, whatever heartache you're experiencing, whatever it is, it all goes away. And it kind of has to because you have to be dialed in. If it's really pumping, you cannot think about anything else. Who was the kid? It was so, I've been going to these shanty towns in different spots of Pretoria, Johannesburg, Cape Town. And there's a war. woman that's been running a soup kitchen there for years. I'd heard about her and I wanted to meet her and they said, well, you can't go into this area because it's just way too dangerous. So I said, well, let's go. We're going today because this is my only day off. And it was like this back and forth.

And the government got involved. I was like, you can't go. We can't go in there. Yada yada. So we ended up going. We weren't supposed to. But I talked a couple of my security guards to take me there. and I met her. I wanted to meet her in person because I wanted to get involved with her. So then that went to this other thing where she was talking about these safe houses she was wanting to build.

So that's when I started meeting these individual kids. So this kid was Michael who lived in this, I mean, this space that was, I mean, easily just as big as this square right here with about six other kids, six of his brothers, one sister, never met a more. gregarious kid in my life. Yeah, just it, so now we're just trying to, well, not trying to,

it's actually happening right now. So now we're working on the safe houses are going up now in that area. Did that remind you that you're not always just a product of your environment, meaning this kid has, from what we have, a pretty rough life. But if he had such a positive attitude like you're explaining how he is like people were drawn to him he's unreal he was unreal does that continue to give you new perspective when you see somebody living a life like that but doesn't act like you think someone should act when they live a life like that 1,000 percent um there's so many elements to this and when we could sit here and we could talk for two days on this because i got so many opinions on this um but you know you can't help but look around and what what is happening with

in that particular area to, the opportunity just is not there. So that light will most likely start dimming. But that's, you know, the special thing about kids before we kind of ruin them in a sense, you know. And but his environment is nothing but gangs affiliated around him. You feel the tension unlike anything I've ever been in inside that. Um, so, you know, that there is, I'm, I'm really big on this. I'm really big on if you can be in a really dire, um, poverty situation, money speaking.

Um, but if you have a solid foundation of parental structure, you can get past those things. Um, but without that and in that. situation. Yeah, it's a, it's a, it's pretty dire. Where do you live? What state? I live, I mean, I live here. Your mail, where's your mail come? Yeah. I live, I live in Nashville. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I still live in Nashville. So your bills come here. Yeah, got it. I still, I still, I still live in Nashville. You're all over, Hawaii, South Africa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like when it's time, check the cell phone bill, like, what do they say to? Yeah, yeah. I mean, that goes over there on Charlotte, but yeah. Yeah. So what about time to actually be creative? When do you get that? Because you have

the new record out, but like when do you write this stuff? I mean, it was every single day, Bobby. It was truly a relentless pursuit. Every time I got home last year, I was either writing with my friends or I would start most of the songs. I'd get halfway done at this, you know, a little place I got on the East Coast and that's where I would go and I would write it. And then I would get guys out there. But I would hold up tracking. I mean, it was non-stop recording every time I had days off. And I mean, I did, I don't know, I guess I did 100 shows last year.

So it was every time I was home. I mean, I was working on it. Every time I was back in Nashville. You're working on it, but when were you riding it? Yeah, I mean, I wake up every single morning. It's the first thing I do. And that might end up being, you know, on the road. And, you know, I get off the bus.

and I have a whole little process that I do. But I'm jotting out the lyrics that I've got, what that I wake up with, and I'm singing the melodic parts, the counter melodies into my phone, because I'm always got that there. So then I see what I have. If it's something that moves me,

I might be three, four hours into it before sound check. Or it might just jot down a little bit for 30 minutes. I come back to it after soundcheck, then it's another hour, and then I come back to it after the gym and it's another hour. It all depends. It all varies. And then late night I've gotten to where

that's kind of when late night, super early morning is when I feel the sharpest. Rake, we play a few, feel the songs here? Let's do Bad Spot. Can you give me some bad spot? This is Kipmore in studio. You feel sad there, man.

What's happening with you? This record was very much an unpacking of the closet. It was, you know, I think that even with you guys, I mean, it's you come in here and you hustle every day or you're on the road a whole lot and you have this ability to start compartmentalizing. You compartmentalize all these things in your life and you shove them down and you bury them. And a lot of times because you don't want to face it and you don't want to look at yourself. Like, you know, you don't want to look at yourself and actually see what it is, you know, what you've done or what somebody's done to you. and so this record was a very catholic process of that and I didn't know it was happening because I write like I said I truly write every single morning so I'm not always in a record cycle but I wrote high hopes live inside which is one of my favorites on the record and solitary tracks in like a week span and then it's like oh I'm writing a record right now I'm saying something I've got something to say and I felt it you know I felt these things that are buried and I think it's just an unpacking of that

closet looking in all the junk and saying you're sorry some people you can't reach out to and say you're sorry to um saying your sorries um in your heart for those people trying to pray for forgiveness for that and then trying to receive the grace of that for yourself and letting go of the things that people hurt you on and i think that's what this whole record is there's one i'd like you to comment on that i like the flowers in December could you play that ray make that a little more personal for me um You know, that was actually me thinking about my dad. It wasn't so much of a, of a, it is a love song in a way in that sense, but it was, he'll creep into my mind at the strangest places.

But then thinking about him had me also thinking about it. That's like a chain event that happens. And then I'm thinking about something a long time ago that went awry and our lives went separate ways. And I happened to be looking. at a flower at that time that had wilted and that's how the whole kind of concept

came there. It's a lot of tracks, 23 tracks. A lot of songs. Solitary tracks is out. But 23 songs, does that mean you wrote a whole bunch more and you cut it down to 23? It was just going to be

the 13 from side A and B and that's all it was going to be because that side A and B is a thing. It's a very specific thing. The sounds, the sonic nature of it is all one thing. And then when I finished it,

the label said, well, you actually you got four months until we have to turn this in if it's going to come out February 28 because that was always the set date. And so I just kept writing. And then C&D is more of just an eclectic mix of, I was in a whole different space because once I wrote that, I was done mentally with that in the way I felt. And so everything started to change. And then I had love and war, which is just a straightforward rock and roll song and Alley Cat. And there was a different kind of levity to the music. But it's definitely kind of a hodgepodge mix on the next side. So,

So I just decided what the heck, you know, I couldn't have done this in the situation that I was in. Let's just give my whole pile of songs. You know, they hadn't had a record a minute. With as much as you travel, do you do a lot of stuff alone? A lot. Like go to a restaurant, go to a movie. A lot, yeah. And I've always kind of done that, though.

I mean, at 16, I was doing that. You know, I was making up an excuse with everybody, you know, and I love companionship. I love hanging out with good people. But I can just remember kind of being aware when my dad kind of probed me. Like, why didn't you go with Jason and Matthew when they came by the house? But then you left at 9 o'clock. He couldn't quite wrap his head around that. But I would go see the movie by myself instead of going with everybody else.

Why is that? I don't know. And at times I love, like I said, I love the companionship. But I love sitting in the conversation. out by myself, jotting out thoughts. I love to read. It's a solitude thing? Yeah.

There's a difference between like being lonely and finding solitude. Yeah. It's going to be a monk? It's definitely not like a lonely. Next interview. He announced he's going to be a monk. Yeah. But see like you say like I'm, there's a part of that.

Like I've even looked into going to those temples and doing the thing where you don't speak for a month. I'm there's a there's a there's a there's a romantic nature to that and I just think there's certain things that you can't find out about yourself when you're constantly surrounded by people like I'm and I feel like being uncomfortable is the best way to learn who you are I really feel that way so it's not that I'm just trying to stay away from people a lot but it's like even when I go on these surfing trips you know I'll go get a dirt bike and in El Salvador and then make my way down in Nicaragua or whatever and maybe keep going.

And I love it. I love the, I got back this morning and yesterday morning. And I quickly, it's like, man, and I'm not, by no means am I bashing Nashville in any sense. But I get here and the madness right away. You know, you're in that traffic, and it's just chaos, and everybody's honking, everybody seems on Ed, and you go to the gym now. And everything just feels so different than even what it was 10 years ago in this town. And it seems like everyone's insular, super, super insular. It's a very, you don't feel warmth in these places.

And so I think, too, I love so much being by myself. I can't tell you how many experiences I've had in the last two months where I pulled up on a dirt bike to a surf spot. And I'm just sitting there and I got a cup of coffee in my hands and I'm just kind of hanging out. And the next thing you know, there's somebody else that comes up right here. And next thing you know, there's somebody else here. And before you know it, because there's no waves, we've had a three-hour conversation about everything under the sun. And the next thing you know, we're all grabbing dinner the next night. I make friendships, real friendship, so much in the gym that I go to, the Block Maui,

which is just my favorite gym in the world that you walk in and there is such a warmth in that place. And everybody's, it's a genuine nature of they're excited to see and it's everybody in there. And they're all hanging out and they're talking and they're still getting their workout in. And then they all go hang. And I have made more friends in these places that I'm in for just a brief amount of time than the gym that I go. to every day in Nashville, you know, I can't think of anybody that I've really even hung out with it. I've been working out there for eight, nine years. It's just a different thing of everyone's guard is down. There's no inhibitions. Nobody's trying to be cool. Nobody's trying to put on some front.

They're not looking around over the shoulder and who else is in the room. And, well, I got to go. I got a thing. And I got, it's none of that. It's none of this, like, surface thing. You're, you're in like these deep conversations so fast in these places. And then the next thing you know, I'm in a living room. That's happened in Mexico recently. And I meet this guy. I could barely speak English. And we're looking at the way.

He's surfing all day together. And he's like telling me, and I can kind of understand Spanish pretty good now. And he's invited me back to his house. I think, you know, I'm in a house with nine people having tacos where no one can speak English. And I'm in their living room in this tiny little house. And like, I'm like brothers with that guy now. And so every time I go back, you know, there's, you know, there's, it's awesome. There's no social like, you know, it's like people here around here want to hang out with the people here.

It's a weird thing. And it's, you've got doctors hanging out with fishermen, hanging out with plumbers, hanging out with guy that runs a gym. And nobody cares. And when I'm traveling by myself, I open myself up to all those things because I'm just kind of. of drifting and letting it all kind of happen. Obviously, you're playing a bunch of shows and you and Billy are doing some shows. What song in the first few notes

do people hear and freak out? Of yours. That was us. Just, yeah? Yeah, right away. That was us, the bull. I would say the bull's probably the biggest song that I have.

Which, you know, it's never on the radio and it's probably the biggest, yeah, easily. Wherever I go around the world, that one, the minute, you know, that one and that was us in crazy more time. those are probably the three that garnered the biggest reaction. Are you going to learn all these songs, all 23?

Oh, gosh, Bobby. You know, last night I got home, and I'll be honest, this is the first time that I've, like, really checked out. Like, truly, I was writing, but normally when I go, I'll start kind of thinking about the next year and working on the new stuff that I've written. I just started looking at it last night and trying to relearn. Because a lot of times, too, you record them a certain,

way and then when you play him live or you're playing them acoustic you got to rearrange him a certain way so i've spent no time so i'm i got to i got to get on that pretty quick you look jacked i'm gonna be honest with you i don't what do you bench no clue i've never maxed in my life no clue no idea it looks pretty jacked pretty jacked probably like we're ready to ball two s 285 you do 285 one time truly no clue truly no clue but like when you're working out do you don't like what i don't I'm ultimately don't max, though. I mean, I did just because I wanted to, like, see what I could do. Oh, because, like, yeah, you all know.

These guys know what they're in the kids. Yeah, I'm an idiot. So I'm maxed, like, because I want to relive my junior high high high school days. So I didn't know. Yeah. You know, like, I know what kind of weights I work out with when I'm doing sets and stuff, but I've never maxed.

Maybe I did in high school, maybe, but I don't remember maxing out. You ever do, like, rocks when you're in a country and there's no weight. You're like just lifting boulders. That's what I picture are you doing. Yeah. Like two head curls with boulders. Yeah, yeah. And El Salvador, that's all you could do.

So I didn't want to stop, like, training. So, I mean, I was surfing a lot. But, like, you know, you'd find big rocks and do, yeah, do different things. Are you on Life 360 or anything like that? I feel like somebody in your life needs to know where you are at all times. Like, I'm kind of worried. Yeah, Nick Rockwood, I've been, it don't feel safe. No, but like, are you able to be located if need be?

No. You're, like, off the grid. So, like. No, I mean, I don't even have a computer. But you have a phone. I got a phone, like a, yeah, I got an old-out-a-phone. I think in 2013. Still running.

Okay. We're not worried for you because you got it all figured out. Oh, I don't have it figured out. I mean, I'm the last person that's got it figured out. And that's what allows us to say you haven't figured out because if you thought you had to figure it out, you wouldn't. It's those that don't have it figured out or the ones that haven't figured out that you never actually figured out.

Yeah, I'm kind of jealous of how you get to live. We all out of here. But I also am worried. What's cool is we've wondered where you've been. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now we know. He's been on a bike in Nicaragua. I don't, yeah.

It's good to see you, buddy. It's good to see you guys. What people may not know about Kip is that Kip is still is, a plus athlete, not even at like the rock climbing and the surfing, but like was like and still maybe an elite golfer. I don't know if you get to play enough golf. But like Kip's like a true artist slash athlete. He's the reason my cup isn't full in those areas.

Like God gave him so much. He didn't have any left for a guy like me, which it's like, oh, gave it all to Kip. He gave you plenty, Bobby. I don't know. We do have a challenge that we've been doing here. It has to do with a bit of hand-eye coordination. Do you still feel like yours was pretty good? Decent. Okay. We've had a couple people give it a run. We had the current leader is Dirk Spentley. Matt Carney is right under him. We're going to put the scoreboard up behind you. Now, you can walk away from the challenge. It doesn't matter. But you ever play Boppet before? No. Okay. It's a very easy game. You hit the button. you bop it, you twist it, and you pull it, and it tells you what to do. All you have to is listen. You can take a practice run?

You'll take a run? Yeah, yeah. Let's do it. I heard one of you guys talking about spear fishing away in here before I leave. After when this is over, whatever, I have the most insane story I've ever heard. Why are you telling on the mic? You're going to hear it. I'll give you the really quick version.

Dear friend of mine, Al B. Lear, who's probably the best big wave rider in the world. the most radical human being ever meet. Serfer. Big wave right. I mean surfer. He's insane. And his buddy,

Tori Meister's also a ripping professional surfer. So Tori's only spearfish twice and Albi goes all the time and they will on the North Shore and this happened like two weeks ago. Alby's down low. He's got all these fish around his belt

and he's been catching and he can hold his breath for like four minutes straight. So Tori's up close to top of the surface and he can hear the screaming happening and he looks up. There's about a 12 foot. tiger shark that keeps rushing at him. So he's fighting him off with his spear. So Albie freaks out

and takes his belt off real fast and swims up to the top, gets in front of the shark to like tamper with it and lets the belt go. Shark dies about 10 feet and goes away from it right away. Alby sees the shark go away so he tells him to go up real quick. They get a breath. He says, we're going to have to go back down. We don't want to be bobbing on top. So they go back down to get eye level, see where it's at. comes back around circles from behind him and he says you know I've been in the water with so many sharks but I've never had one literally trying to eat me and it's going at him he said the speed of this thing was crazy

and it would dart at him and they were fighting this thing off the spears it was a solid 15 minute fight with this shark and now they're trying to spear it and swim backwards towards the shore and so are they holding the spear they're not shooting a spear over and over again they're just holding the spear because if you shoot it you've only got one It's one shot. Yeah.

So the shark was opening its mouth. And Alby told him they kept going to the surface. Whenever it would swim off, they would quickly go to the surface, get a breath. And I'll be told him towards the end. He says, this thing is going to eat us if we don't do something now. Because he could tell how desperate the shark was. Must have been super hungry. Juvenile shark, 12 feet, male.

So, but he knew he only had one shot. And he said, if it opens his mouth again, I'm trying to shoot in his mouth. But then you're going to be the only one with the spear. He never got the shot because it was so. He said it was so quick and you couldn't time it. But now the shark had figured out it went behind him and it was trying to push him back out to the deep and it's pushing him out further and further.

He said this fight went on for a solid 15 minutes where he truly thought of all the big way riding he's done and, you know, he's had severe brain damage from jaws and stuff. He said this was, I knew that it was over. As aggressive as this thing was, but they finally fought it off and they made their way back. And how did, what was the final? It just, it finally gave up.

It got tired? It gave up with them. Yeah. Dude, that's crazy. That's the monster, though. That's why you don't serve. Truly. You're talking about snowboarding.

If a monster was in the mountains, that's the monster that I would not go. That's why I don't go out there. That story alone, I was going to go surfing today? Not doing it. Thank you. Okay, so this is just hand-eye coordination. So if you hit Scuba, if you want to show them, hit the button, we'll do a practice round. We'd have no idea.

That's the thing. We don't even know how to offer expert advice. But you will win a scholarship. You will win a scholarship. so if you hit it's going to tell you that's the middle button so that's Bobpet and that's twist it

and the other one's pull it we'll practice run here all right he's ready let it die now let it die now one of the most athletic guys I know he's going to play Bobpet he's ready to go

the leader is Dirk Smetley with 18 Kipp are you ready All right hit it up pull it pull it Now pull it. That's twisted. There you go.

Now bop it? High score. 16. It slipped out of his hand. Nine. When was the high score? 18. 18.

You were on it, though, was a thing. It just slipped out of your hand. That was a grip issue. Now it's going to sleep. I can't believe I let Dirk Smith. Well, look, man. The record, I'm going to be honest. It's 23 tracks.

I haven't listened to every single track, but I did listen to a lot of it. It's awesome. I appreciate that. I think I listen to A and B. Okay, yeah, I got you. That's how I knew. Take a look on Forever's Alive.

I hear you. They only gave me the thing last night, the record. It's not actually out yet. I mean, it is while we're talking about it. Yeah. I got it. I got you. I got it last night.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm rooting for you. I love the project. I love that it feels so personal. You were able to do it how you wanted to do it. I think that's... I think that's probably more fulfilling for you than any other project you've ever done. Yeah, I appreciate that.

You got to do your thing. Everyone that's listening now. Go see Kip on the road. and he's doing a bunch of dates himself. He's all over the place, but also he's doing a bunch of dates with Billy, Billy Currington, and the record is out today. It's weird when something new comes out

because do you expect feedback immediately? Do you search for feedback immediately? No, I've tried to really disassociate myself when I, like, it's, yeah, because I can't sit here and say I don't care because I do, probably too much. So I try to disassociate myself when I get done with the project. Like, I mean, I've really put it behind.

And then I'll be playing it soon, and I'll be reconnected to it. But, you know, music is just so subjective. So I've just learned to let that be what it is. Solitary tracks out now. Kipmore. Go at Kipmore music. Good to see you, buddy.

Thank you. There he is. Kipmore, everybody. Thank you. Love the Larry Bird signball. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.
