What's happening, friends. Welcome back. Another week of the show. It's Monday. Morning studio. Morning. All right, we're going to go around the room. Here's the question I'm going to ask it.

It's the Monday prompt. I'm going to ask you if you could go back to your birth and choose your own name. What would it be? I don't ever tell them these questions. You listen to this beforehand, so they don't know. So I like to give them a second to think about that. Because it's weird because we're so attached to our names. I always thought my name was like young and cool.

I ever tell my wife, like, it's hot. It's like, Young Cole, and she googled it. She goes, it was actually the most popular in 1931. And I was like, oh. And she goes, then you were named after your grandfather, which of my biological dad's side, who I didn't know, but his name was Bob. And she was, so you think your name is young? I always felt like Bobby was like a kid name.

Bob was. So you could go back and change your name at birth. Eddie, what would it be? Man. So, like, I thought about this when the movie came out. I'm like, Forrest Gump. I thought Forrest would be the coolest name ever. Lunchbox has a friend named Forrest.

I know. And he was before Forrest Gump, and then the name exploded and it was everywhere. I bet it was miserable for him. It was miserable. Run, Forrest, run. All the time over and over and over. What terrible timing. Yeah, and I mean, that's like when we were in like middle school, and it was just like everybody said it over and over.

See you before. Eddie, you be forest. I think Forrest is so cool. I'd love that. All right, Forrest. Forrest. Forrest Garcia. Forrest.

Forrest. Winner. What? Winner. Your name? name is winner? Like pronounce weiner? No, winner. What? Like I'm a winner in life?

No, whiner? That's a good one. No, no. Winner. Okay. Because I'm a winner in life and I mean, I'm set up from the start for everybody to know this dude's a winner. There are people named Doctor. That's D-O-C-T-O-I. Oh, yeah, Doc Martin? Multiple people named Doctor. And that's, so people always assume that they're a doctor.

Yeah. That's a weird one. Winner. Yeah, Amy. Mine's Josie. I love that name. You name. You name of your dog, Josie? Yeah, because I.

I couldn't name myself Josie. So that's exactly why I named her that, like, years ago. Yeah, a Rottweiler, well, like a Josie, but I was like, nope, I love that name. I met a girl somewhere, and she said her name was Josie. I was like, oh, my gosh, I love that name. And I always thought if I had a girl, like a baby, I'd name her Josie. Never did. So I named me my dog.

I'd probably go with something like Waldo. Waldo? Yeah, because it's just, I don't know a single Waldo. Other than the where's Waldo? Where's Waldo? You get a lot of that. Can you find him? You only know what can't find him?

I don't know. And what is Waldo even? That's going to be short for something, right? Hey, Eddie's friend from Family Matters. Yeah, I know Waldo for sure. But like I like Waldo because it's an inch name sound. It feels soft. Like, there's no bad guy at Waldo.

Waldo. That's a good dude. The Waldo bones stone? You guys run into Waldo lately? No, I miss that dude, though. Yeah. So probably like Waldo. It's like a real.

different name. It doesn't feel like it's from the pilgrims. It doesn't feel like if it's even today. It's like in this mysterious space. Waldo. He never been a bad Waldo. That's true. So, yeah, Waldo, Gualdo Foldo is the name on. I love it.

Waldo. Waldo, yeah, yeah. All right, thank you guys. Let's go. Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's mailbag. Yeah. Hello. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, Bobby Bones.

I have a married friend who flirts to get things for free. On girls' nights, she will flirt with guys at the bar to get in to buy her drinks. I've seen her flirt with employees at the mall to get a discount. Waiters at restaurants, guys at the tire store, you name it. Sometimes she'll even remove her wedding ring on nights we go to hire in bars to ensure that she doesn't have to pay for more expensive drinks. It does seem to end there. I've never seen her do anything more than that. I'm not sure if her husband knows about it.

My husband and I are really close with both of them. Is this something he would want to be aware of? Or is this a thing he should find out on his own? Signed, a friend of a flirter. Let me put me in this situation. I got no problem with Caitlin doing this. None. What about taking the ring off?

No, and don't give a crap. Don't care about that? She's not going to do anything with them. You're going to save money just by taking the ring off? That's what you like it? Heck yeah. I have no fear that she's going to cheat on me. And if she's out and you got all these dudes wanting to buy her a drink,

all it takes is one little action of just pulled off the ring put in my pocket go for it he probably knows he's probably in on it maybe let a rip tater chip she gets home and tells him how much she saves he gets excited and that's what turns him on see

I would have no problem with it whatsoever but I'm also not in a relationship where I am concerned that there could be some funny business going on I think if that's happened before or if that's it's a concern definitely you shouldn't do that but for me i have no i would laugh and be like suckered them again that's me you no you don't say anything i don't is that her question if she should go to the husband yeah but how do you feel about it though no you don't know you don't do that

but i also have no problem with it happening yeah i guess i don't have a problem with it happening i don't do you do you do that amy not not i don't get drinks bought for me though you don't really hey come here don't cry you hear like sort of crack or voice it to crack oh man it's because You haven't been out really without the ring. Okay, I don't go out. True. But this female makes it seem like, gosh, she gets tons of stuff for free all the time. Yeah.

We haven't been in the mix. Okay. We've got to mix it up. Okay. We've got to put you in the mixing bowl. I prefer to stay home. Miao mix. Yeah.

Meow. Lunch fuckers. Flirt to you get it for free. What? Flirt until you get it for free drink. And hey, maybe she'll get you a free drink. A tires. Think about free tires.

You want to take your right. Heck, take your pants off. Get some time they can. But no, I went too far. I went too far. No, that's right. A tire shop is full of dudes. Wear short shorts is what I'm saying.

They see a hottie walk in. They're going to be like, oh, they're all going to be. Yeah. Wear short shorts. I'm all about the flirt. Me too. Have y'all ever gotten anything for free? For sure.

One time. I don't know. Showed some thigh. Man, I went to a gay bar once. I got everything for free. Yeah, you get free trade. I did. I did.

They bought all my beers. Yeah. It was crazy. Why? What do you mean? They were flirting with me, I guess. I know, but they're better looking guys. I've been to gay bars, too.

No, I'm telling you, it was a weird night. We all went after work, me and all the weathermen, and we just there at the bar. Like, hey, can I get you a drink? Sure. Yeah? Dude, I didn't pay for one beer. Probably drank about eight of them.

Is it good? That was awesome. Is it because they knew you were straight? I don't know. Oh, were they like, it was probably a game, like, see who can get the straight guy. Oh, really? Who won? I don't know.

What do you mean who won? He doesn't remember. He doesn't remember. Hey, you tell me. Yeah, okay. That works. Unfair question. I get simple pay for me

in a different way. Oh, that's true. You do. Yeah. No, no. For how I look or anything, no. No chance. Until I got any sort of success at all,

they were like, you can leave, sir. No, I came to buy, now we're good, but we're good to that. Your kind here. Like, what? To answer your question,

don't say anything to the husband. Secondly, I don't even care. That's actually pretty cool. Not everybody would feel that way, though. Thank you. That's the mail-bed. We've got your email and we've let it on your air.

Now it's about to close Bobby's mailbag. Here's a voicemail from Ross in Dallas, Texas. I just wanted to say thank you for bringing joy and happiness and to everyone's lives and all your listeners. You're not syndicated here in Dallas, but it's the first time that I've laughed or smiled since Saturday. And even though that there's turmoil in each and everybody's lives, you still bring the joy and happiness to everyone.

So I wanted to say thank you and I appreciate it. Thanks man. I appreciate them. Very nice of you to say. Here's Corey in Nashville, Tennessee. Good morning, Bobby. Good morning at studio. You know, I was just looking at Lunchbox's Instagram, which I don't know why.

And I'm so, so, so happy that Bobby doesn't have to go to bat for Launchbox this year. And Lunchbox actually gets the bat for himself. Oh my goodness. felt so bad for the guy last year. I mean, they really just didn't want them on the team. And really only because Bobby really helped them get in that game. You know, Lunchbox, you keep promoting that you're playing in that game, man. I hope I see you out at third base coach or something.

Last year, Lunchbox couldn't get in the celebrity softball game. Oh, yeah. And I said, I get you in. And then this year, you're in. Well, I was in last year. And then they came to me and said, you're out. Right. So I mean, so I'm back in this year.

I'm in. Yeah. So we're just waiting. Until they take you out. Until they take me out, tell me, oh, no, you know what, you're not going to play, actually. I mean, so I'm hoping they announced I'm in. So if they take me out again, I mean, we're just flipping over tables. June 5th, the Rocking Jock Celebrity Softball Tournament.

Speaking of sports, Eddie's coaching his son's basketball team. I've offered to be the owner, general manager, sponsor the team. How much? Whatever. How much did you need? $500, $600? How much was it? No, it was three.

Oh, it was the original. But the coach needs to get paid. Right, right. Come on, man. So if they would be the bones, I'm good. I pay for the whole team. There's got to be the bones. They can be whatever, the Nashville bones.

They could be the middle Tennessee bones. It just has to have bones. It's got to be the bones. So I ran it by my team. After the practice, I kind of huddled them together. And we all right, boys, good practice. You know, good job, Jimmy, dribbling. Good shots over there, little Tommy.

Listen, I got to talk to y'all about something. We got an owner. And he wants us to be named something. And they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Coach, we got ideas. We got ideas. And I was like, hear me out, hear me out, hear me out. He wants to name the team the Bobby Bones. Yeah.

And they're like, Bobby's Bones. They're like, what? Yeah. And they were all like, no, no, no, we can't be the bones. Oh, no, let's be the Wolfpack. Oh, and they all started howling. And then they were like, hey, hey, how about the Grizzlies? And we can be like the Memphis Grizzlies.

And I'm like, guys, just the owner will give us money. We'll get good uniforms. We'll get good balls where they aren't flat. if we go with the bones and they're like no we're not doing it. Okay. There we have it. I guess our deal couldn't be reached. Don't you like the wolf pack though? Why would I care about the wolf pack? How about the bones pack and you got to do?

Okay, okay. The wolf bones. Can I take it to them? I don't like wolf bones. How about the bony boys? No, no. How about you've been boned? No, no, no, no. No, no, no. The bones five. All those are wrist. How about the I don't know. Bad bones? Bad to the bones?

Bones. Bones is ballers? Yeah, yeah. See, I don't want to do bones and balls. We're not going to be able to reach a deal. Come on, man. Come on, think of something. Think of something they just don't want to be like the bones.

Were you going to donate if they were the Bobby Bones? 700 bucks. No. Oh, my. We're not raising the price. It was $300. Okay. So would you do $150 for the Wolfpack?

No. $150. Excuse me. I can't get two basketballs for $150. Yes, you can. Not good ones. Okay. How about the bones beaters?

No. No, no, no, no, no. Why do you name is always border on inappropriate? Yeah, no. Okay. The basket bones. Wait a minute. The basket bones.

That's not bad. Basket bones. Let me write that one down. Oh, I got it. Bones and balls. Oh, we already said no to that. That was Amy's idea. We got to stop.

and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up, me for pictures. It's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through

them. Listen to eating while broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app. Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. Sarah Merrill was 17 years old when she started at Dartmouth College as a pre-med major. Well, it was there that she also met her husband and then they had their first child. She had every intention of going back to school, then med school and pursuing her dreams to

become a doctor. Well, then nine kids later, she just... Wow. They were very committed to family. And she was a stay-at-home mom. But she wants other women to know and other mothers out there, do not give up on your dreams.

Because now at 41, she just graduated from medical school. Well, we shouldn't act like 41's at old, though, honestly. Yeah, I mean, I'm 44. Amy's like, 41! We're all like, we're all like, do-do do-do. Yeah, that's not that old. It's a great story.

She had a lot of kids who went back. But Amy's like, you'll never believe it. What's that, Amy? Her age. Yeah, what is it? She's so old. Forty one. Whoa.

So much her age. I mean, I'm trying to be an actress at 41. Yeah, you need to concentrate on the nine children. You're old you at 41, aren't you? Yes, I was about to say, I'm trying to picture myself at 42, going back and doing all the things in med school. And then she's starting her residency. And then she still has other things got to complete. And so it's just pretty awesome.

I'm proud of her. The nine kids is the highlight. I mean, 41, you still have plenty. She's already graduated. So she started, she went back at like 35. You know what I mean? Fertile Myrtle. We're getting way too into it here.

I'm going to say, good for her? Yes. Oh, boy, has a lot of kids, though. Yeah. Nine kids. Wow. There'd be like some triplets in there somewhere, right? Otherwise, you're just pregnant your whole life.

Great story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. Her name is Caroline Jones. She's such a great musician. She plays, I mean, all kinds of stuff.

I'm going to ask her in a minute. But she plays so many instruments. She's a great solo artist. We'll be talking about her. project called Superpower, but she's also the first female member of the Zach Brown band. Like Zach was like, join our band. And that band, you got to be really good. So here she is.

Her name is Caroline Jones. Let's talk to her now. On the Bobby Bones show now. Caroline's good to see you. Good to see you. Have you been in here before? Never. I'm so excited.

It's kind of surreal from the green room because we've watched it so many times. Oh, well, that's nice a bit to say. Caroline's awesome. She plays, how many of these things do you, now I'm going to just ask you this. What instruments do you play, Caroline? I play guitar, piano, banjo, dobro, and harmonica. When you play the harmonica, do you,

because I can cheat at the harmonica. Yeah. If we're playing a song in A, I just get an A harmonic and go, and it matches. Bob Dylan made a career doing that. And then everybody's like, wow, I plays harmonica. What's the difference in how you play harmonica and me? Just a slight, I might be slightly,

better than you at it. Yeah. No, honestly, I love playing different instruments. I love production. And when I was young, I just did solo acoustic shows. So I picked up different instruments to try to make my show more interesting. I was playing at high schools and colleges at the time. So it's a pretty humbling experience trying to get their attention. So that's what made me pick up the banjo in different tunings and different instruments. And I just love, I remember listening to records when I was a teenager and just thinking, how do they make it sound like that? Like, how do the layers fit together? What is a guitar player playing? And I was just fascinated by the intricacies of production.

And that's really the kind of the mission behind playing different instruments. I'm not a prodigy on any of them. But I love it. And it's a lifelong craft. And just love playing. This is a compliment and a question and don't take it otherwise. Were you a nerd as a kid? No.

Because if you were cool, I'm going to be so jealous. If you were cool and doing that? No, I wasn't a nerd. But I was super introspect. I was a very mature, I was kind of a loner, I would say, but I don't know if I'd say, call myself a nerd because I hated school. Really? Did you make good grades? Yeah, I did. But I was just kind of a perfectionist and driven, but I really never enjoyed it. I always wanted to do something creative. Like, I made good grades because I wanted to get out of there.

Me too. It wasn't that I loved learning. And also I'm just kind of OCD. I couldn't, like my husband is like whatever, I wouldn't do the paper. I wouldn't say, like that would give me so much anxiety. I just felt like I. You know. Tell Amy about your husband how you met him what that whole situation is. Hi, Amy. Hi. My husband is a professional sailor, so he races sailboats around the world.

And it's a really niche sport that I knew nothing about before meeting him. And he sailed around the world on this race called the Volvo Ocean Race four times. He's done an America's Cup, which is kind of like the Super Bowl of sailing. And so all that to say, not to get his head. too big, but more just to say that he has the coolest life experiences. Like he has the coolest stories. He's lived all over the world, every continent except Antarctica. And so he's seen all these cultures, and he's seen all the seven seas four times over, and he just has the most amazing stories. Okay, this is so crazy, because I just finished

this movie with my son on Netflix about the Australian girl that is the first female at she sailed around by herself. Yes, at 16 years old. Yes. Which is wild. me, I'm like, her parents let her go. That's the one, they got eight by sharks the end? No, no. She really. That's open water? She did it, but like nobody believed her in the beginning.

They were like, to her parents, how could you let her go do this? And then when she, by, like, it took 210 days. And when she came back to the port in Australia, there was thousands and thousands and thousands of people there cheering her on and waiting for her. And I got goosebumps. Me too, I get goosebumps. She went all the way around the world? All by yourself.

So all you flat earthers that call this show, watch this movie. Yeah, yeah. And her boat was named Pink. And anyway, it was really good. I know nothing about sailing. I haven't seen that movie yet, but that's super dangerous. Did they actually let her or I think she escaped, right? That was not included in the film because I think they want to encourage children to follow their dreams.

Take their dreams. Follow your dreams, kids. But yeah, no, it was pretty wild. So I know nothing about sailing other than I just watched that movie. That seems cool. I still got to see that. So he was in another country. Was it like pandemic time?

Yeah, so we actually met during the pandemic here in America, but then six weeks after we met, he had to move to New Zealand for a year to train in the America's Cup. And all my tours were canceled. I was supposed to be touring with Lucas Nelson. It all got canceled. And I was just sitting at home freshly in love. And so I ended up moving with him. And we spent the pandemic in New Zealand, which I kind of, I hesitate to tell people about because I kind of, they're like, you won the pandemic. You know, it's kind of not fair. Because there was no COVID in New Zealand, and it was like having a gap year when you're 30, you know. So where did you live? Do you live like an Airbnb? Yeah, we actually did. We lived in Airbnb.

Did you move them? Do you move around from Airbnb to Airbnb? Once they lost the cup, America got eliminated first. Spoiler. I was waiting to watch the docu series on Netflix. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Dang it. Once they lost, we got to travel a lot, which was kind of the silver lining because we didn't have to go home yet.

But initially we were just in Auckland. man that'd be cool huh I just would be freaking out that I wasn't working I still worked Did you play any shows? I played some shows there Actually I met a bluegrass band over there Which is so funny because I had to sit in a hotel room

For two weeks during quarantine in New Zealand Because that's how they did it To make sure you didn't have COVID And I just Googled Bluegrass Band in New Zealand Not knowing that bluegrass and country Is not popular in New Zealand at all Bluegrass is basically non-existent So I didn't know at the time

I found the one bluegrass band that is in New Zealand And it's this awesome family band Of Kiwis And they're still my really good friends To this day But I gigged around with them And we did some shows together

The Trenwis But I wrote and recorded A lot of my second record Over there remotely So I never stopped Yeah You were working Well she also just went to New Zealand

With a dude she just met It's like my dad And it worked out Like that other netball documentary. Those people that got stuck in the other country because of COVID on their... Like their second day. Best third date ever or something? Longest third day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I was pretty sure. I mean, I never really dated a lot prior to my husband. Like, I was super career focused. But I don't know. It's very different. I don't know if you guys have this experience,

but it's very different when you meet your person, I think. I was very sure. I will say that. So if I don't answer and just jump in, who knows, I might get murdered later. But you had the Yes, there is, yes, for me, that did happen. Yes, yes, Caroline. Does she listen to the show and judge you? No, no. Okay. The only time she ever sees or hears anything about it ever is if it pops up on her

Instagram, a clip of something that we post. Yeah. But no, she does not listen. She avoids it because we're in here arguing about stupid stuff and we'll hyperboize stuff. And she's like, that's not my version of its story. I'm like, well, you can come on. I'm not coming on.

So it just, you know, it keeps us from arguing about it. You said murder a second ago. Oh, and I overheard his day the other day. Because she was explaining to someone why she doesn't listen. And she was like, oh, because I'd murder him. Yeah, she killed me. Really? She killed me.

Yeah, she killed me. Yeah, she killed me. She killed me. It's pretty much it. Okay, so Caroline didn't just come to hang out with us, although that would be fun. Caroline came in because the new EP is out called Superpower. It's five tracks. And what's the different?

What are these five tracks about as compared to your last record that I can't even pronounce still? Okay, we'll just leave that. This new record, so this EP is the first half of my next album, which the full thing will be out this fall. I'm trying to release as much music as incrementally as possible in this modern market, which is something I've been wanting to do for a really long time because that's how I consume. So this is kind of the first taste. We've already put out three of the songs, and now all of them are out. And this next record, I think, thematically, is really about, like, resilience and grit, which is something. something that I feel like I've been developing over the last couple years especially,

and so just been writing a lot about that. That's what the title track Superpowers about. It's about kind of the triumphs and heartbreaks of chasing this dream. And as you get older and mature and as you spend a few years in this industry, there's a lot of jaded people, there's a lot of rejection, there's a lot of disappointment and heartbreak, and you constantly have to self-assess, keep your eyes open and be honest with yourself. and recommit yourself to your dream and your integrity and why are you doing this? And so that's what that song is about.

It's like really raw, honest song. But all the songs kind of play on those themes. That's it. I'm sailing around the world. That right there. I'm now going to get in a boat and do it. So let's see. I was looking at the tracks. Can you play Lawless for us?

Yes. Okay, so this is Caroline Jones. This is her song Lawless. All five of these tracks came out on Friday, and here she is live in studio. Nice job. Holy crap. That's great. Amy, what did you see there?

Oh, whatever's on your finger with the guitar and the sliding back and forth. Yeah, we actually had an outro for the slide, but my slide dropped. It fell. It didn't fall in a job. Yeah. So, but I was very impressed with, yeah, that part. I don't know what it's called, but you're moving up and. Yeah, it's called a slide. Yeah, the slide.

Well, Caroline brought a player with her. By the, what's your name? Riley. I already knew it asked him. I just wanted to say it himself. Riley's playing with her and singing, you know, background vocals. Yeah. But Caroline played the lead on that.

She played the solo. That was her. And rarely does someone... And Riley, I'm sure you're a great player in all. He's amazing. Rarely does someone come in and bring a player and play the solo as well, which is really freaking cool. Oh, thanks.

Yeah. We were actually just trying to figure this out last night because it's a very, very electric song. So we arranged that last night. But this is fun. This is a resonator guitar. actually, so it's kind of good for if you're going to do acoustic slide. It's very loud. Can you play a little bit of the solo? You need to do it slow if you want with a slide.

Well, actually, let's just do the outro we were going to do. Okay. This is... One, two, three, four. That's so cool. You're playing, she's playing so far down the neck. It's not even where the frets are. She's like playing the belly part of the guitar. The belly, I love that. That's awesome, Caroline. Thank you. So, okay, look, she's got five songs that are out today. It's the first half of the... It's an EP called Superpower, but the rest of the...

if it comes out this fall. Right? Correct. And you can see Caroline out on the road. And I definitely wanted to get to this a little later because I wanted this to be about you more than about you joining Zach Brown band. But she was the first female member of Zach Brown band. And you're playing with them all fall too, right?

Correct. Yeah, we have an all summer tour. I think I have like 100 shows in the next six months because I play a bunch of shows with them and then I play a bunch of my own shows. And I love it. It's so much fun because I go from stadiums to, to, um, I guess bars and clubs that were playing in headlining, which is so cool because I'd never gotten to headline until last year.

So even to have people come to your own show, pay money to see you in Iowa and Illinois, it's like, it's so wild to me. How do you get paid by Zach? Does show up a thing of cash the end of a show, or does he pay you through a check that comes to? Just hundreds? Like, he's peeling off money to the band as they walk off stage.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that a, like, I don't know if I should just close that. Do you get paid like a real job to just show up in your account? Yep. Oh, okay. Yeah, I get paid like a real job. real job. Can you imagine? I know. Yeah, I want to like a rubber band over like a Zach Brown CD of cash handed to me. But I don't take that for granted at all. I mean, it is so to have, um, to have an actual

career in music is such a rare thing. And so, um, no, it's really exciting to call it a real job. What do you, spend so long trying to do for that band? Like, what's your role? I caught, I'm kind of a utilities person, which is a term, a national term for, um, any instrument that needs to be covered that's not being covered. So I mostly play acoustic guitar, but I also play B3 in the band. What's B3? Sorry, organ or keys. And sometimes I play rhythm electric or banjo, kind of whatever they need.

That's crazy? Yeah. It's awesome. And actually, I didn't play organ. When Zach first called me, he was like, can you come and play utilities? And he knew I played a bunch of acoustic instruments. And he's like, you play B3, right? And I was like, no.

And he's like, you will by August, right? And I was like, yep. Yes, sir. Why is it called B3? That's a good question. It's just the kind of organ. There are a bunch of different kinds of organs like church organ and B3. I'm not sure exactly why it's called a B3 in particular.

We can research that. Do you have to know all the songs on all the instruments then, just in case? Like if somebody goes out and can't play the intro to Chicken Fried, can you play it? Well, nobody can play it like Zach. I mean, people don't realize, yeah. Oh, he got it. People don't realize what a characteristic and skilled guitar player he is. Like when he picks up a nylon guitar in a room like this,

I mean, you can't believe the sound that comes out. It sounds exactly like a Zach Brown record. Like, it's just, it's so funny. But I could play it, but not like Zach. What is your favorite song to play with the band? There's this song called Sweet Annie. That's my, I just love the harmonies. Do you know that song?

You should listen to it. It's so good. But the harmonies in that song are my favorite. Because I love singing harmony with them. You know, there's a bunch of amazing singers singing harmony. It's like eight dudes and you, right? Yeah. Yeah, nine.

It's nine dudes in you. I think, wait, sorry. And they're like, dude, dudes. Yeah, they're a big dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hardcore. Do you have your, like, your own room, your own bus? I do have my own bus.

I'm really lucky that way. I also think it just wouldn't have worked. They're all, you know, they have their dynamics so worked out. I don't know if I could have gone on their bus and made them feel comfortable. Well, you had to grow a beard. That's part of the ride. I think everybody has a beard. It's funny. I went out on one show. I played a joke on them and went out in a beard after I was

announced as an official member. That's funny. Caroline, you're really good. And I hope everybody checks out. It's called Superpower. It's five songs. Hey, Ray, give me a little bit of superpower, which she was talking about earlier. Some girls are you by yourself? When you write by yourself, where do you usually do that? Is it purposeful time you set aside to write or does something come and then you just kind of jump into it? Typically the latter. I write a lot. I hike a lot. I hike a lot. I love being in nature, so I write a lot on my walks. And just I play a lot at home.

Like if I have a day off, I'll play for two or three hours. And a lot of times something creative will pop out or bubble up. What was the first famous guitar part you ever learned? Where you were like, I'm playing it. I cannot believe it. Probably actually one of the songs that we cover sometimes, never going back again. because I really loved and gravitated towards fingerpicking early on when I learned the guitar

And I loved it's never going back again It's that Fleetwood Mac song Ding, ding, ding, ding, we should Well, it's in a different tuning But you can kind of show It's a song off their famous album, Rumors And I love that album And so I'm probably going to know it when he's doing it right

We can play a little bit for you That's yeah Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Anyway, it's cool It's really hard to play on this guitar right now because the action's so high for slide, but I love finger picking. So those were some of the first things I learned to play that I loved. He knows all the big riff kind of songs. He's also playing a 12 string. Yeah. Which seems impossible to tune. That's Big Mama. Yeah, especially on that song in particular.

Yeah. Well, you do it all, Caroline. Everyone check out Superpower. It's five songs. There's also a song, Superpower, don't be confused. Listen to the whole project and see Caroline out on the road. Go to our socials at Caroline Jones for all the dates. Thank you for coming in. Thank you for having me. You guys crushed it. And, man, I feel like I should go to a show. Yeah.

She's doing solos. They just pulled out of Fleetwood Max all and the whole thing there. Okay, you guys go check out Caroline Jones. We'll be back in just a second. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'll say it. Yep, that's me.

And listen now. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist

Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like,

you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes.

Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Have you ever snooped through someone's phone? Snooping means they don't know your snooping through their phone. Like straight snoop. Don't care who it is. Have you done it?

Eddie. Yeah, my wife's. You didn't have to say who? I'll be honest with you. I mean, I appreciate this. I mean, it was the closest. It's always there, you know? You were just looking like,

yeah, I just looking through stuff. But no, not looking for looking through. There's a difference. Yep, yep, yep. Like, my wife has my code because a lot of times I'm like, hey, I need this picture. I don't want to walk in the living room. You're in there. My phone's in there.

Will you send me this picture? I don't give a crap. I don't have anything to hide. But that's a, that's looking through. And my wife's very, I mean, I trust her 100%. But when a text comes through and I don't, like, it just pops up and I don't know that number. I'm like, was that?

I started looking like, what did they talk about? To see if maybe she talks about you in a positive or a negative way to her friend? She never talks about me. Oh, just at all? Never. There's nothing good. All right, all right, all right. Lunchbox, you ever snoop through someone's phone? No, never. No need to.

No, I thought he looked at Abby's. No, it popped up the screen. I took a picture of it, never went through it. That's true. He's answering honestly. That's also shady, though, just in a different way. And not because he took a picture of her text message you wanted to say, because he sent to me to go, hey, read this on the air. But that showbiz baby around here.

Amy ever snooped? Yes. That's it. Okay, fair enough. Wow. Fair enough. 82% of us have snooped through someone's phone before. I have not snooped.

Mostly, not because I'm better than it. You ever hear if you call out the devil, he just might come? I'm always to say that. If you call out the devil, he just might come. And so if you go looking, you might find something you don't like. Even something that's not them being dishonest with you. It could be them talking to a close friend about some situation that happened interpersonally, like fight, and they just want to vent.

Wait, she talks about me like this? Oh, yeah. So I don't snoop. I've never snoop mostly because I'm scared for me. And I take everything. I don't want to say personal because I don't take everything personal. I take everything wrong. If there's a way I should take it, I don't take it that way ever.

I take it the exact opposite way that I probably should. Yeah, so mine was circumstantial and very codependent behavior. I wouldn't do it now. I wouldn't do it how I've worked on my codependency. I wouldn't do it now. But there was a time where I was trying to just control too many things

and I was sort of losing my mind so I did. Sort of losing your mind. She did that wacky head. I can tell you some other crazy things I did. I'm not proud of it. Saved everybody here. Let's have further distance at least.

Maybe one day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Eighty-two percent of us snoop through someone's phone. The two most likely victims are our significant other and exes. But 8% have looked through a friend's phone to snoop. Oh, never. That's dirty

dog. Don't go to a friend's phone. Never. And 3% have snooped on a co-worker. Oh. That's even dirty, dirty your dog. Well, we used to, if you left your computer open, not, I mean, we as a collect, like everyone, if someone had Twitter open,

don't act back in the day, like 2010. That's not the same. I would hack someone's Twitter. Yeah. I thought it was hilarious. I would be like, Bob is huge. Those tight pants he has on.

They look good from both sides. So, but that's not snooping through someone's phone. Yeah. I bet you scuba Steve has snooped the crap out of someone's phone. Scoobo Steve, you snooped it? It would be my ex-wife. I think we talked about before when she was cheating on me and all these messages were popping up.

And that's when I was like, oh, I'm going deep. I'm digging. I'm looking for things. Did you find other things though that Because yeah she ended up cheating He found pictures He let her dad know before he let her It's a whole situation

It's an amazing story Did you find anything else so that you weren't expecting That maybe wasn't cheating but other little secrets Money spent on like a trip to Hawaii And I lined it up at a time when she was doing A work trip to somewhere else Like in the mainland And then I found out she was going to Hawaii

I'm like, oh my goodness My favorite scuba steve story and he has a lot of them is that he caught his ex-wife cheating on him and then said nothing to her for days because he sent an email to her dad her dad's old, didn't check email very often so he just waited how many days from when you found out and sent that email until you finally confronted her?

I mean it was probably she confronted me about three weeks later and they were like half naked photos too that I sent to her father. What? You knew that. He knew it for three weeks. There is no way I could have kept that in. Oh, that's crazy. Did you document that live as it was happening?

Or not live, but right after that, publicly at all? I never on social, but we talked about it when I was going through my divorce on a radio show I was working out in San Francisco. Wow. Are you traumatized by that at all where, even though your wife now would not do that, do you accidentally subconsciously hold that against her? That was a big problem in the beginning because I was damaged by it. and you mentioned about don't go looking for the devil because you'll find it. And so there were scenarios where I thought she was cheating on me, but it was just in my head because of a previous relationship.

So I would want to go through her phone and I would resist as much as I possibly could to not do it. And so I haven't to this day. But there have been times where I'm like, I should check on her to see if she's messing with me too. Hey. Oh, wow. Hey, maybe you should. You never know. Maybe you should.

So the top people we snoop on are exes, kids. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That doesn't count. If you go through your kid's phone. I think once the kid turns 16, it's officially snooker. I can still look. I'm still unclear. Also, I don't make the official rules.

Right. But I think 16 is when you kind of have to give them like an adult pass. That pass can be revoked. Yeah, it's revoked already. Are you talking to? 16 in one week. Well, yeah, because I mean, they're just not. Sometimes they just, you want to think they're going to make the best decisions.

and then you think about how you can tell them all the right things. At the end of the day, a 16-year-old's brain is not fully developed. So sometimes they're just not going to make the best decisions. And I just want to come alongside and help her. I don't want to get her to get in trouble for anything. But she has not proved to me yet that she can make smart decisions because, like, just a week ago, she didn't. In any capacity? Oh, in some capacities she can.

Kids and phones. And then I think, too, developmentally, you have to look. Okay, chronologically, she's 16. but, you know, developmentally and emotionally and stuff, she's not younger. Because she grew up in an orphanage. Yeah, I think she's just a little bit behind

some 16-year-olds, which, thank goodness. Eddie, too. Same, a little bit behind someone. Same with me. Not orphanage. That's stupid. South Texas. Yeah, yeah.

A win is a win. A win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

I have five things you definitely don't need to leave a tip on or five people you don't need to give tips too. This is a mean story. Somebody's making less money today because Amy brought this to the show. Go ahead. Well, no, some of them get offended. Okay. Okay?

Oh, really? I mean, I don't know. Give me a dollar. I'll take it. I don't care what I'm doing. Yeah, right, go ahead. Okay, we don't need to tip service technicians, like plumbers and electricians. Yeah, out of your mind.

They would love that. I do. Yeah, I know, I do, because I want them to do it. Okay, okay. You do? Yeah. Heck, yeah. Right.

I do, because if anything breaks, they're more likely to come back quicker because it's so hard to, it's so hard to get things scheduled. Okay. But if you grease. the palm a little bit. Well, that's different than tipping. No, it's in the form of a tip. Okay. It says here they usually make a good wage and aren't expecting a tip.

I would tip them. I do tip them. Go ahead. Flight attendants, it's considered. That would be so weird if I, I tried that once and they said I can't take it. That would be so weird. You try to slide them cash walking out of the plane. That's one I can't see myself doing.

Yeah, like, they say to. Hey, the peanuts were great. Thanks me. Like something close to that? Like you wouldn't tip a firefighter or a paramedic. That would be funny. Maybe. Not with like a 20, but like a car or something.

I don't know. It depends if they'd say my life or not. After putting out a fire, here you go, buddy. Here's 20. Yeah, the flight agent's like, hey, I'm just doing my job. And a lot of airlines, like Eddie said, he got rejected for it because the policy says they can't accept it. Don't tip if you're traveling in certain countries. It's not expected in Australia, New Zealand and parts of Europe.

And in East Asia, it's an insult. Okay, well, in East Asia, I'm not going to tip. I'm making a note to myself. Remember that. Okay. Go ahead. Don't tip at restaurants when gratuity is already included. I always do.

Really? Why? I do too. Guys, listen, I've told you this. Now I feel like I owe it back to me of older a year when I was waiting tables. So I will tip 70 to 100%. I'm lucky enough to get to do that now. And with that, they don't put that, thank God, and the gratuity added already.

So I will add to it. Right. Yes. People should not feel pressure too because the 20% has been. I should put a dollar too though. My favor is when they say the gratuity is added. I'm like, thank you. I don't have to do the calculations.

I love it. I just can't. It feels weird leaving that one blank. Yes. I do it for old school me. I do it for me as a kid. It's a very selfish. It's a very selfish way to give back.

I hope it's some sort of time machine I'm tipped well. Go ahead. And then lastly, highly trained professionals like nurses, lawyers, accountants. If you want them to know you appreciate them, send them a card or give them a positive review online. Okay, I get that. I mean, I didn't send him a card. Why?

I've given nurses cards. I guess I would send him a gift card. Okay, there you go. That's good. That's good. But I only got a slide of a nurse of 10. Hey, you hit a heck of a vein there. Nice for a 10.

Yeah. All right, what else you got? All right, Google is going to help us figure out if something online is AI or not because it's really hard to tell. But is it's a Google AI? And why would they tell them their friends? Ooh, good point. That would be like, tell me if. Eddie slacking off. And I'm like, but you're a friend. Okay, you can hire me to do that,

but I'm probably not going to be honest. Well, the decision, which has been in the works for a while now was pushed forward because of some recent viral faked images of Donald Trump and Pope Francis. And so they're like, look, we got to let people know if something is 100% real, if it's partly created by AI, or it's an outright deep fake. There's a story about Apple now, and with the new phone or new operating system, you can talk to your friends or whomever on the phone 15 minutes. Then it can replicate your voice in 15 minutes and you've trained it how to be your voice. I don't like that. The world's ending soon.

The fact that it only takes 15 minutes. Which means it really takes about 30 seconds. Let's be honest. Gosh. Yeah. Crazy. What else? Willie Nelson's 90th birthday concert is coming to theaters. It's called Long Story Short, Willie Nelson 90 and it's his two-day

90th birthday celebration took place at Hollywood Bowl last month. It's going to be in theaters June 11th. Keith Richards, George Strait, Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert, Dave Matthews, Neil Young, Snoop Dog, and more are all part of it. It is not. Sounds like one? It does, yeah. It sounds like a commercial.

Like we're selling them. Yeah. No, I just... Sometimes we'll add like a TV show plug or something in there that are like, hey, put this in. This isn't that? No, but tickets are on sale now at willing. Willing Nelson's 90 Experience.com. No, I just thought people might want to know.

That is cool. So is it a one day thing? Or I have to go that day. It's probably like an app. Oh, that's a good question. It says June 11th, and then there may be some special encore presentations on the 13th and 14th. Probably depends on how it does. So on the 11th.

Okay. So June 11th, that's good. Not a commercial. It's not a commercial. I swear. Scoob, is that a commercial? What do you think I'm getting tipped to say this? No, it's not a commercial now.

Okay, all right, cool. It's legit. All right. Okay, it was either I normally try to throw in a country story-ish, and so it was either that one or. What was the other one? I like to hear the thought process. I do. Or what?

Wealthy celebrities who are frugal because they grew up poor. Go ahead. Okay. And Shania Twain was number one. Wealthy celebrities who are frugal because they grew up poor. I don't know that. I like this story way better. Yeah.

Go ahead. Okay. Well, it was Shania was the only country person. I know, but who else was on it? Cardi B. Toby McGuire. Cardi B's frugal? Jessica Alba.

Oh, she says that you might see her with the jewelry on. Yeah, I do see her with jewelry on it. But she's always looking at her bank account. That's not frugal. That's not frugal. Okay, go ahead. Toby McGuire, you said? Toby Keith?

No, definitely not. Shadiahein said that she'd sometimes go to school hungry. So now she tells herself, be frugal, save for a rainy day. Toby McGuire said he was born to really young parents, so he's just very conservative with money because they didn't have a lot of it. Jessica Alba said she grew up in survival mode because her parents didn't have a safety net. So she teaches her children about saving and sustainability. And then Cameron Diaz said her parents were.

not well off and they would collect recycling for extra money. So now she's careful not to throw things away. She will splurge. That's the story. Cammerty has a hoarder. She will splurge, but it's mostly on experiences like memories and not things.

All right. Well, I don't know about this story. I'd like to say she has like three houses. She has a $13 million house in the Bahamas. But I think it's probably based on what you have. If you have $100 million and only spending 10 of it total, that's pretty frugal. If you have $100 and you're only spending 10 of it and you keep 90 in the bank,

that's pretty, that's saving. I was thinking she living in a townhouse. It's all relative. I'm Amy, that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. Which Bobby? Damn it's something good.

A four-year-old received a new teddy bear with her late mom's heartbeat. Thanks to build a bear, goodwill, and a radio station. The girl's original bear was donated to a Goodwill store in Tennessee last month. Her father could not find it, find it did not, the purpose wasn't to be donated, because again, it had her late mom's heartbeat in the bear. Wow. And so they put a sign in the store, if anybody was here and bought the bear, a radio station started talking about it on social media. Build a bear's public relations director

solved the story that was going viral. They were super sad about it. So they were able to locate a matching rainbow sparkle bear, and they added the original recording provided by the girl's grandmother, which is how they got the heartbeat in the original bear in the first place. The new bear was then shipped over and the father's like, look, all these people did not have to do this. It means a lot to us, but for goodwill to go through with that, the radio station to go through with that, and also the builder bear people to make this bear, get the recording, make another one.

Like, that's super important. I don't think this four-year-old even knows how important it is right now. But when she's like 10, 11, 12 years old, it's really going to be important. I don't even know what the radio station is or I'd say who it is, even if we're up against them. I'm like, I don't give crap about that kind of stuff. But it just says a local radio station. So whoever you are, local radio station, we have once been that local radio station that people would not mention us. We'd like to apologize.

We don't know who you are or we would say who you are. So that's what's up. Love that everybody worked together on that. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying.
