Starting point is 00:02:04 Let's go around the room and check in with everybody. This next person can't dunk about. basketball and never could. He also won't stop coaching basketball, but probably should. Here is producer ready, everybody. Look, I've been warned and I do it anyway because I'm stubborn, and I think a lot of adults out there do the same thing too. I went to a trampoline park the other day and my kids wanted me to jump. I normally don't. I just watch, sit on the couches, but I'm like, all right, I'll jump with you guys. So I started jumping. They're like, yeah, do a flip, do a flip, do it. Group chant, peer pressure group chant.
Starting point is 00:02:34 From my boys. And I decided to do the flip. Dude. On the way down, my knee, it buckled. And I'm like, oh my gosh, this is it. Torn ACL, whatever, a pop. I'm not going to be able to walk on it. Lucky for me, I didn't hurt myself. But, dude, I was so close to hurting myself. And I'm like, I got to stop doing this.
Starting point is 00:02:52 I cannot. Skiing, trampoline parks, basketball. Skateboarding, bro. You do that. You skateboard. Lunchbox's wife almost broke her ankle. Oh, my gosh. They said it had been better if she broke her ankle.
Starting point is 00:03:04 We're at the trampoline park. We got four bounces in. And this is when we were, you know, we didn't have kids. We were drinking. We went with a big group of friends. And we got there and we paid and we signed out the, we signed the waiver and everything. Four jumps. And she lands and busts her ankle.
Starting point is 00:03:19 And I look at my friends. I said, does that mean I got to go? And I mean, she was in tears. She was in so, it swelled up the size of a bag. It was so big. It's big. And she was on crutches. It was so bad.
Starting point is 00:03:31 But, I mean, it took longer to fill out the waiver than it did to get to jump. I was so frustrated. But I did. I took her home. Not to the doctor? Not until the next day. We got it home, elevated, iced, because the doctor wasn't going to be able to do anything then.
Starting point is 00:03:45 I mean, it was nasty. I wasn't going to go to the ER. What are you talking about? No, it's not. I mean, it's huge. It's gross. And she was like, and I was like,
Starting point is 00:03:54 can she not just sit on the bench while we jump a little bit? Oh, you wanted to stay and just watch. Yes. Once voted, biggest clown of his classroom. Now he just makes people uncomfortable in bathrooms. Here is, Lunchbox, everybody. So last week, we had. a mailbag where TV Terry emailed in talking about, hey, is it okay for me to just buy a TV for the Super Bowl and take it back?
Starting point is 00:04:14 And some of us were like, yeah, that's absolutely okay. No, not some of us. You. I think Eddie was on board with me. And Bobby was more like, oh, that's dishonest. It's stealing. You can't do that? So I was like, okay, let me call the electronics store and find out. Is this frowned upon? Is this okay? You called the store to say, can I buy a TV watch and bring it back? Yeah. Major electronic store, you can find it in most cities around America. But you're not doing a commercial for them. I know. You're just saying it's a big.
Starting point is 00:04:42 I'm just saying it's not just a mom and pop shop. I'm talking, I called one to see what their policy is. Go ahead. Thank you for calling. I guess, sir. So how may help you? Yes, I got a question about a return. Sure thing.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Go ahead. Yeah, so the Super Bowl's coming up. And so I was looking at getting a big screen TV for the Super Bowl and then returning it. Is that okay? So with the receipt and the box and serial number. we can definitely return the TV within 14 days. So you don't frown upon that if I want to just like I want to have a Super Bowl party and I want to just have a big TV and then I want to return it.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Totally okay, 100% legit. There's no problem with it, right? Yep, as long as it's the same TV. Okay, and it won't be broken or anything like that. I just want to watch the Super Bowl and I got a small TV. So it's like I'm going to, but I'll get my full money back, correct? Yes, sir, if you have your receipt with you. That is awesome.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Do I need to put it back in the box with the styrofoam or no? If you wouldn't mind, that would be awesome. That's still not... Hold on. Boom! That's her just going by the policy that they have. Well, you tell me, it's stealing it dishonest. They just said.
Starting point is 00:05:46 They would say, hey, everybody, come get a TV and bring it back. I'm shocked, though. She didn't say, like, we don't want you to do that. Right. She didn't say that at all. She was just like, that's fine. Yeah, go for it, man. And if you want to put it in the backs, that'd be great.
Starting point is 00:05:57 That is crazy. I think it's just their policy. It just so happens to be at the Super Bowl. And what else is she going to say? Because he repeated it five times. And he kept on going. I'm going to keep it. And then I'm going to bring it back.
Starting point is 00:06:08 I made sure she understood that I was buying it with the intention of returning it just to watch the Super Bowl. And based on their policy, I think they have to say yes. That doesn't mean it's right because you found a loophole. So let's go back to last week. TV, Terry, you can do it. Okay. Thank you, lunchbox. She struggles with her pronunciation sometimes, especially when the words repeat and rhyme.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Here it is. Amy, everybody. So I got a massage, and it was really, really, really cold at the place. So I kept my socks on because when you get in there, It's like, ugh. But then by the time that he got down to my feet, which that's another thing, I like to have women, but it was a mix-up. And I had a guy. He's down to the feet part.
Starting point is 00:06:46 And I say, oh, you can just take my socks off. And he's like, you're going to have to remove them. And I'm like, but I'm laying up here. You're down there. And he's like, I cannot remove your socks. You're going to have to take them off. So I have to like pull my legs up, remove my socks. And I guess he said, literally, the state of Tennessee will not let me take your socks off.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Yeah, good. That's good because... So I've never thought I've never had this happen before because I've never kept socks on. Some massage therapists don't just take clothes off people? You can't do that. Sox?
Starting point is 00:07:14 I get the thing. Well, that's still closed. It's closed. It doesn't matter. What if it's made a foot fetish? It's a slippery slope, I know. He likes taking socks off. I just had never had this happen before
Starting point is 00:07:24 and I didn't know if state to stay is different and that I just never dawned on me that someone might not be able to take up my socks because technically that's removing clothing from your client. It does. It does. And I don't think I don't think I would have asked them to do it though. I don't think, I would just done it myself and been like, hey, homie, socks, get them off. You didn't feel like that as?
Starting point is 00:07:44 I didn't say it like that. How did you say it, Amy? I said, because you're laying up top and you have the sheet over you. But it's really quiet and dark. So what did you say? Actually, at this point, I think I'm still face down in the cradle. It was very complicated for me to do it, but I did it because I understood where he was coming from. You know what?
Starting point is 00:08:00 Not all heroes were capes. No, I'm not saying I'm a hero. I just thought it was funny that he. That is interesting. He refused. They can't take clothes off their clients. I didn't know that. I usually go in their fully clothed and land the table and be like, go to work, boys.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Start with my shirt. Start peeling. It just sucks. Okay, right. Go ahead. From Mountain Pine, Arkansas, he can outbench everyone on the show, and he always has his manned person toe. Bobby Bones.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Thank you. I do. Hey, no pockets for me in 23, boys. Because of the purse. It's all bag. Yeah, he's all bag. So I mentioned last week, we were talking about how I threw away some old bananas
Starting point is 00:08:34 because I thought since they were old and black, I should just toss them in the garbage. Who knew my wife was saving or make banana bread, which they needed to be like that? So she got online, because all we had were yellow or even slightly green bananas, like really, right?
Starting point is 00:08:49 And you can put them in an air fryer for just a couple minutes, and then they get to that stage that you can make banana bread, like black bananas. Really? So she did it, but she was like, you know we can use an air fryer. And then when,
Starting point is 00:09:01 because I helped her make them except for that part. And, but I was just passed out along. I didn't screw everything up. We actually learned that if you have an air fryer, you can take bananas of any ripeness and put them in there, and it makes them whatever the consistency is to make banana bread. Cool. We made it with almond flour.
Starting point is 00:09:15 It was awesome. You keep saying we. Yeah, we. I did. I did a lot of the work. You did? Yeah. Promise?
Starting point is 00:09:20 I swear. Did a lot of the mixing. Did the scooping out into the thing. I did a lot. I believe you, man. Okay. Ask me a question. Any question.
Starting point is 00:09:28 No, no. We're good. Scooping it out into the thing. Tell me what that means. So there was a bowl of it, and there are, we have, like, It's like a cookie sheet, but bigger holes, and you take it out with spoon and put it in. But first you have to do avocado oil to make sure they come out of the... Like banana muffins?
Starting point is 00:09:43 You name banana muffins or... No, no. Banana breads. Different little slices of bananas. Like little... Oh, they're little lobes. Oh, mini lobes. Yeah, mini lobes.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Yeah, I don't know the difference. That's why I was questioning your... Mini lobes. And then I just sprayed almond oil. And she was like, not almond oil. Avocado oil. And she was like, spray avocado oil on the bottom of the pans so they slide out so they don't get stuck in there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Right. But I thought it was an ingredient. So I was like, holding it down. So it was like a puddle of it in there. And she's like, no, no, no, no. And so then she had to go. It was like she was with a kid. And then she had to go and dump a little bit from each one of my loopholes into all the other ones.
Starting point is 00:10:19 But you know what, dang it? And I can probably do it all now. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Don't clap for it. Okay. I'm not correct.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Not all heroes were caves. I'm making banana bread. That's right. Let's open up your segment. You, the people. Let's open up the mailbag. email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailback. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. I've been married almost two years. I'm a clean freak. I've always been like this and my husband knew what he was getting
Starting point is 00:10:46 into. In the last eight months, my husband decided to only shower twice a week because he says the water from the shower will dry out his skin faster. He decided to grow out a beard, despite knowing I disliked him. He kept it shaved or short during our entire relationship. He no longer brushes his teeth in the morning because he hasn't eaten anything since the last time he brushed him, so why should he? He regularly leaves dirty dishes on his desk, nightstand, table. There's a fruit fly problem because of it. I've tried approaching his declining hygiene habits by asking him why he's doing this. I've tried compromising. I've tried explaining to him that going to sleep dirty results in more work for me because I end up washing the sheets twice as often. I've even ignored it by not saying anything. Nothing changes.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I understand that I'm picky, but to some degree I like to have a better hygiene habit. I would love any ideas on the matter to get our marriage a little more fresh. Thanks. Signed. Married to a teenager? Well, the first thing I do want to say is the beard part doesn't fit with the rest. If he wants to grow a beard, let him grow a beard. Just because he didn't have a beard doesn't mean you can't have a beard now.
Starting point is 00:11:52 The rest of it's disgusting. But the beard part, let's cut that out. You lose, you get the small L on that one. But does that mean he's just being lazy? He's just growing a beard. Yes, it does, but it's still a beard. Even if it wasn't being lazy, you want to grow the beard, it's a beard. But if you have a beard and you're not shouting, washing, like it's worse.
Starting point is 00:12:07 I know, but we can't fight the beer. We've got to fight the things that we can handle. Okay. So it seems to me like there needs to be a reward system more than there needs to be a compromise with a child. Ooh. Because these tendencies are childlike. I don't want to take a bath. He's a kid.
Starting point is 00:12:25 You got to treat him like a kid. But you can't tell him you're treating him like a kid. you've got to build a reward system to say, hey, look, it bothers me. I know you've tried to compromise. We've tried to compromise. But if you take a shower tonight, you get playing golf or whatever. You have to find something and do a reward system. Because it's hard to compromise with a four-year-old because they don't even know what compromise is.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Like you do a little this, I do four years. Like, no, you're in your mind. But with an adult that you're treating like a child, you're also going to have to do the four-year-old. Okay, you get this toy. Here you go. Like if you don't brush your teeth, you're not getting a kiss. No. If you brush your teeth.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Oh, I will give you lots of kisses. Well, you have to do reward, not punishment. You want punishment, Eddie. One day you'll figure out this dad. That was habit. I got it right now. Yeah, I got it. I read something the other day that said,
Starting point is 00:13:13 our brains respond the best if we get our reward within like two minutes of the action. So right when he gets out of the shower. Kiss him. I would even build him a chart like a kid has a chart. Oh, stop it. Well, also showing me he's a child. Oh my goodness. Like this means a lot to me.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Here's your star chart. Stars on there. You brush your teeth today, charge. Okay, you got seven stars this week. Here's the reward. How about we send her these studies from these doctors that are saying we shower too much and that we're taking good back to? That's like one doctor out of a thousand. And the one, yeah, the doctor that doesn't shower.
Starting point is 00:13:45 I mean, these are things that we can do. You guys are saying he's the bad guy. Maybe she's a little overbearing. Firt flies in the bedroom. Mm-hmm. It's not good. When I was in college, I did that crap over the sink because I would just throw food in there. And I was beat in and out.
Starting point is 00:13:59 You can't punish them. That ain't working. You can't compromise them. That ain't working. You got to give them a reward system. If that doesn't work, then you divorce them. Get out. I mean,
Starting point is 00:14:08 she seems like a nagger. This is really bad. No, it's bad. Imagine this, you married someone that wasn't this way. Lunchbox's his wife did marry someone this way. That's what I'm saying. I feel this guy.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Like he's just living life. He doesn't have time to do the dishes. You don't know what his time is. Sounds like a busy man. So this is what I'm going to say. You have to go reward system because you've tried everything else. Everybody good on that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:29 I got to figure out this reward thing, though. It's not hard. I went straight to punishment. It's not hard. You did. Okay. Close the mailbag. We've got your email and we've read it on your air.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Now it's about to close Bobby's mailback. Yeah. Sometimes we do good parent, bad parent. It's a fine line. But we're going to do good husband and bad husband. Oh. Could also be a fine line here. So her name's Sarah.
Starting point is 00:14:55 She went, they go to the hospital. Time to have a baby. They do the whole thing. They get the bag, they put in the car. They go to the hospital. They, okay, it's, here it comes. Oh, look at it. It's a boy.
Starting point is 00:15:05 They have the baby. Everything's awesome. Well, the husband, who was super attentive the whole time, was right there with her. He was recording it. He was recording something on his phone. And for posterity, it was like, hey, if you get some real sweet, romantic, not romantic, but just like moments that we'll enjoy forever, get him. So he did.
Starting point is 00:15:22 But every part of it is her with a weird dog head filtered over her head. What on earth? That one of the tongue comes out. Oh my gosh. That's funny. So a mom's revealed that her husband's put an ugly animal filter on her face while she was in labor and then he posted it on TikTok. It's hilarious. She knows who she married.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Yeah. Right? But also, don't you a little bit get some real footage? Yeah, yeah. But he didn't this all dog face. I'd say you, this is better because the real face is not something you want to see ever. again. It is pain. It's agony. Well, it's not all, it's
Starting point is 00:16:01 not just close-ups of the waist down. No, I'm talking about her face. But she wanted some of it. No, no, no. I promise you when a woman looks back at the video of her giving birth, if you do film it, her face is something that is not attractive and you're like, you don't want to relive that. You don't want to relive that pain.
Starting point is 00:16:17 So the dog face makes it kind of funny and enjoyable. Like, I mean, my wife, when I was in there, when she gave birth to our three kids, her face was, oh man, like, I don't ever want to be here again. I'm so much pain. I hate myself. It didn't even look like her. So you wish you to put like the dog filter or the Luke Combs beard on her? No, I didn't take a video because I was like, man, you're not going to want to see that. So I think I am all for a good husband. She said she thought she was
Starting point is 00:16:40 going to get some sentimental footage they'd want to keep and to look back on. But instead it's her with like a Chihuahua doghead with a tongue out. That's great. It's hilarious. Good husband, bad husband. Amy. I good. You wouldn't be mad? I mean, I guess I would just see it for what it was and hopefully appreciate the humor. But there was none. There was none that I didn't have the dog head. Like none. I mean, to lunchbox is planning to be terrified that I looked awful.
Starting point is 00:17:03 But no one else is going to see it if you don't want them to. Okay, Eddie. Yeah, I think it's weird that, you know, anyone videos whatever's going on in there during a delivery. So I'm saying that's a good husband. And lunchbox saints is a good husband. Good husband. I'm going to go good husband too, but he should have got some without the dog head.
Starting point is 00:17:18 A little serious. Just some. Instead of going pure dog head. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Emily was walking her dog Seamus and it had just rained a whole lot and they walked and there were these waters coming through
Starting point is 00:17:35 and they got a little too close and the dog ran like jumped into the water because this dog was an Australian Shepherd who loves playing the water. Well the water then swept the dog away. She couldn't hold onto the dog. And so the dog gone. She said she tried to grab him because she was holding a leash
Starting point is 00:17:51 but he jumped in and the water was too strong. She couldn't hold on to him. So dog's gone. She calls 911, and firefighters came to the area. She's crying. The crew is canvassing the area. And one of the people that was at an RV park nearby was like, hey, I heard the dog. Like, what are you guys doing?
Starting point is 00:18:09 I'm looking for a dog. I heard the dog. So they got on, and she has an air tag on the dog. Like I do my dogs, which is just a little white thing. You put it in. You can track your dog wherever it goes. Or your wallet or because I haven't wanted a bunch of stuff. And so firefighters, because of Emily's phone, was able to pinpoint the dog.
Starting point is 00:18:25 in a drainage tube, about a mile away. Wow. Imagine being swept for a mile. That's crazy. So firefighters went into the drain, got access to the dog, got the ladder down there, brought them up. The dog, they say it was in good spirits? I'm going to tell you.
Starting point is 00:18:42 I don't be a good spirits. No, there's no way. I just got swept down a drainage. What the heck? Here's a clip saying, this is Emily saying she's grateful and that there are people who understand that dogs are like family. I was just blown away by that level of response from our emergency services and just really grateful, you know, that there are people that understand that dogs are family members. That's a good point.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Like when they get a call about an animal, are they just like, yeah, we'll get there. Or they like, it sounds like they were just like, let's go. The animal needs our help. Probably depends on who's getting the call. Yeah. I'd freak out, obviously. She was emotional in that, but that dog got swept away for a mile. I wonder when he just goes
Starting point is 00:19:23 Just float That means it is what it is Yeah So is that okay 911 call? Oh yeah Yeah So if I see an animal Get swept I can call
Starting point is 00:19:31 Yeah Yeah Okay Not a worm or like a cricket But yes If you see a dog get swept away Absolutely That is what it's all about
Starting point is 00:19:39 That was tell me something good A win is a win A win A win is a win I don't care what I'm saying Yep That's me Clever Taylor the 4th

Starting point is 00:23:11 At 11, he played horn. You know, love him. He's a friend. And he was playing a show in Australia. And this is, like, right as all the news about him and Kelsey Ballerini's divorce was coming out. And he goes out and he takes a deep breath. And he plays a song I never heard before.
Starting point is 00:23:26 And it was a very personal song called Overfree. you. Here's a clip of that. I would I search the whole world over. First time he's been anywhere to perform this. Super pumped. And let's do it now. Here he is. Morgan Evans.
Starting point is 00:23:41 On the Bobby Bones show now. Morgan Evans. Good to see you, buddy. Good to see you. It feels like Amy, this has been my experience with Morgan over the last six months. Hey, you in town? No, I'm not on town. Okay. Is that how you read his texts?
Starting point is 00:23:57 Yeah. Okay. And then he's I'm here for, I'm not here. And then we do this and this is literally the first time we've seen each other. Yeah. But we've tried. We've been trying to get a game of pickleball going. We've been trying. That's why I don't know that I've ever walked in and just hugged anybody before.
Starting point is 00:24:11 I saw Morgan, I didn't get him a big hug up there. Just because it's like my friend, I haven't seen you forever, man. It's been a long time. Holly, your hair's all long. You see all you guys. And that's not that good to see them. It's really good to see me, though, to be honest. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Your hair's growing, growing, boy. You're a growing boy. Yeah. What's, uh, what's been happening? I just got back from Australia. I spent Christmas down there almost a month. I heard. It was awesome. Christmas on Australia is cool because it's warm. Yeah, it was like a little snapshot of summer and spent so much time with my family and old mates. And I've got all these little nieces and nephews now. And they all know who I am now, which is great.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Oh, because you actually are around? Yeah. They're all three, like three, four, one, two, so I know them from FaceTime. And so now it's really nice to have a real connection. You are without shoes and a lot of your pictures, especially when you're being active. But there's a guy who keeps offering Amy money for feet pictures. And so would you, if somebody messaged you and said, I'll give you $200 for close-ups of your feet and only your feet. Would you do that? No. Even though your feet are already for free on your Instagram?
Starting point is 00:25:15 Yeah, to be clear, I'm being offered $250. Oh, my bad. So I didn't mean to undervalue you. Would you do feet pictures? Where is that on the hierarchy of feet value? No idea. We haven't seen a chart. What's the most valuable feet picture?
Starting point is 00:25:26 We only know her value. I tried to sell them some of mine, and it was far lower. But now he wants giant pictures of her with her feet right near the camera, and she's standing her head small, and he's offered even more. That's pretty specific. It's like giant nest or something, and all you have to do is just make your foot or hand look big. That's all I would have to do, and he said he'd pay me. I mean, I'm not going to do it.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Wait, do you reply to this person? We talk about him on the show all the time. Yeah, right. But you're someone who is at the beach a lot, and I wonder since it's already red a lot. available, would you also take money? Well, maybe because it's so available I've never been offered money for. I do get asked this question a little bit, which I think is
Starting point is 00:26:04 equally as interesting, which is are your feet ticklish? Do you get ticklish? It seems like a common, like, multiple people question. Never thought about that. Yeah. And if I... I don't even know what it means... I search the computer history of whoever asked that question.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Wait, you don't know what that means? I don't do any more than read it and then move on from it, so I haven't looked into where it comes from. Are they? Yeah. Are they ticklish? I don't know. Maybe sometimes.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Take them off. We do it right now. Let's try. We do it right now. Okay, look. Let's just, let's get to the nitty gritty. You played this song that you're about to play. You played it at a live show.
Starting point is 00:26:44 We saw it on TikTok. I ripped the audio off TikTok and just played it on the air. The whole thing. It's a phone version. Your performance was great, but the audio quality was pretty terrible because it was just somebody recording it. Right. Then I know some people that know some people. And I got a bored version of that.
Starting point is 00:27:03 And, you know, I didn't know if you're going to get upset of me for having it and playing it. I didn't ask permission because I didn't want you to say no. And I felt like the song was really good and you would be grateful later, hopefully if that ended up being a single. And so we had that and I was playing it. And then it became your single now. And so I want to go back to that night because whenever you walked out, it sounded like you didn't say anything in the crowd. It sounded like you were a bit emotional before you. you played it. Is that true or were we putting too much into that? I mean, it's very true that it was
Starting point is 00:27:30 emotional time. The first time you play, were you like, yeah, were you, I guess my question is, were you thinking about, okay, should I play this tonight? And did you make the decision right then and there, or are you like, I'm going to play this new song I just wrote? No, no, it was a then and there thing. It was a moment in the show that was always going to be the, okay, the band leaves the stage, and then it's a piano moment. But there was a couple of options that I had to do that night of different piano versions of different songs. And I'd just written this song over you the week before and I hadn't even shown anyone like I hadn't even sent it to my management or anything but um did you write it by yourself I'd been playing it a lot no I wrote it with a couple
Starting point is 00:28:06 other people here in town so how vulnerable is that that you go I mean it's a songwriting is very vulnerable when it's very personal yeah and you go and you go and write this song this has been happening you have to trust those two and I'm assuming there are people you've ridden with before yeah one of them was two of them I met that day oh boy hello I'm Morgan here it was I don't know I don't how or why it happened. I guess something's just happened for a reason. It was the only song I wrote in four-month period and I went into that session because I particularly, I was a big fan of a couple of people in the room and then one of my really good mates was in there. And I thought, I need to do something creative because I, you know, this is what I do. It's like an outlet and I sat in the
Starting point is 00:28:44 corner of the room and I just looked at everyone and I was like, guys, I'm going to be completely useless in this session unless I just tell you what's going on. Were they like elephant in the room? They knew you were, it was a difficult season. and they were like, does he want to, do we, do we even write a song? Because there's just so much there. How was that? I don't know if that part of it ever had a chance to happen, because I just said, I just said, look, let's just do this. Well, the song is so good.
Starting point is 00:29:11 I mean, if you write it or you wrote it for somebody else, song's good by itself, regardless of whatever story it is. But the personal story makes it, it doesn't matter whose story, but a personal story adds value to anything creative, because we feel as the person who's listening, consuming, we feel like it is, it's like authentic and legitimate. Right. And that's the goal. It is. And as a songwriter, I feel like that aspect of it I'm really proud of.
Starting point is 00:29:35 And I think the pride of it comes from after sharing it, seeing how that level of vulnerability and personal writing is actually the thing that most widely relates to people. And the amount of messages and comments I get, on social media now, they're so great and they're like, it's so much more than, hey, I love that song, or that show was so fun. It's like, thank you for writing that song.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Thank you for putting into words how I felt or how I feel. Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone. And those kind of things mean so, so much, having gone through a situation like that, saying that it helps other people going through situations like that. Yeah, it's really a big deal. Morgan Evans is here. He's got a keyboard piano.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Now, is that one of those keyboards that plays for you? Are you actually going to play? You know how the ones it would play down to the keys? Okay, but it's not. You're actually going to play. I'm going to use my hands. Okay, just making sure. I'm just showing how legitimate he is as an artist all around.
Starting point is 00:30:33 The guy plays all the instruments. How funny he comes in and it just starts playing the samba. He pushes the wrong button and it done. Okay, here he is. Morgan Evans with his song over for you. Morgan Evans. Thank you. The only thing that I can relate just a bit of my story to this here is,
Starting point is 00:30:54 it's not the only thing, but when I would write, like, my first book, I had to, I didn't have to, but I revealed some very personal things that I'd never revealed before, and it felt a little, embarrassing is not the word, but I would like talk about some really personal things about my mom and addiction and struggles and things that I felt people were going to feel sorry for me for. And so I was like, I don't want people to feel sorry for me. And I was embarrassed that they might. but then when people started to come up to me at like shows when I would go and do they would go hey that part and it would be that specifically they would go that's the part they go I related so much to that the one that the thing that was so worried about the thing that I was like man when people hear this they're going to think less of me or they're going to think they're going to feel sorry for me and I didn't want them to feel sorry for me I was using that as an outlet to share but it was that the people related to the most and I wonder if that was similar with you where you're going to I'm going to do this song. It's so personal. And like you said, you didn't expect people to just be like,
Starting point is 00:31:57 I needed that song for me, not for, not just listening to your story. Like they needed it for them. And all these people hearing that, your very personal story, but then also finding their own story inside of it. There's got to be something in that that makes you feel great that you didn't expect. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I had no expectations for it. I'm not sure if you had expectations for those moments in that book. I've read the book, by the way, it's great. Thank you. I've heard that song. It's really good. It's great for that reason though. And I think the same reason that I feel like people kind of have been reacting to this song,
Starting point is 00:32:30 I literally played it that night on the festival because I felt like it was something that I needed to say, something that I needed to do. And it wasn't until after the show felt good to do that. And I didn't really get a choice in any of the rest of it because by the time I woke up, the time difference of stuff, someone like, you've played the song on the radio, TikTok's had this video shared, however many. times and after that it kind of just took on a life of its own in other people's lives and so after that I felt like it's obviously always going to be my story my song but I feel like now that
Starting point is 00:33:02 it's out there in the world it's it's everybody's who needs it to be was there ever a time where you thought I may never put the song out I may never play this song we wrote it maybe it was just that cathartic experience of songwriting did you ever think you know what but I just might not ever play it yeah 100% really 100% yeah I mean there's so many especially when you first get to town and you're still, you're kind of meeting different writing groups. There's so many rooms that you're in in Nashville where they're like, hey, we need to write a hit song today. You know, like that's the goal. The goal of this day was just dude sitting in the corner of a room just trying to make sense of a situation. And that part of it creatively is really rewarding too.
Starting point is 00:33:42 It's just like, hey, sit down, say what you got to say. Weird to have people in your business. Yeah, but they were in it anyway. I don't really get a choice. or that that wasn't a that was not an added part of this moment no rewind weird to have people in your business period even before the song came out in a way that that hadn't happened before totally i mean it was a high-profile marriage yeah and with that you the spoils of it was great and then also i got to imagine though i just was so mad at people about i was just like i was you didn't even need defended and you've handled this like so freaking matured i just wouldn't have. I just wouldn't, I'd be, I'd lit things on fire just for the sake of it. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:34:28 people on the internet. Now, I hear I, this is a very pro Morgan Evans show. And I was getting mad for you and I kept going, Morgan's just acting like a mature adult. Maybe I should do that. You know, and I, that had to be tough to just have all these emotions and go, I got to worry about me and only me. Yeah. Because that's a beast when people just are wrong. Yeah. Right. So I commend you for that because I would have been canceled by now. Thanks, man. Yeah, it was really tough in that way. And I am, I mean, the only thing you control is you and how you feel and what you're doing.
Starting point is 00:35:05 So I just thankfully I have good people around me that would keep reminding me of that and keep me grounded in that way. And I'll always be grateful for that. I found some really like true friends in life and in business. and yeah, I credit them with any of the smart decisions I made. Like you really learn who your folks are when times aren't the best, when there's really no huge benefit for them to be your folks other than friendship and love. That's when you really learn who your people are.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Absolutely. And that's the real benefit of a time that really isn't that beneficial, you know? I think we've all been through them. This song's great. You're great. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm in love with you. Thanks, man.
Starting point is 00:35:51 I am. I hope that makes you happy. I'm in love with you. I'm in love with Morgan Evans. I said it. Wow. I said it. It's out there. I said it. I think one of the most beautiful lines, which may even speak to the maturity, Bobby's talking about, is I would have let go if you wanted me to. Right. That's a certain level of where someone is to recognize if you need, even though it's so painful, if you need me to let go, I would have done it. Right. What's the deal to?
Starting point is 00:36:18 Because you're going to go and you're going to promote the song, obviously. But it's not like you want to go to every interview talking about your divorce. Honestly, how are you going to handle that? No, I really don't want to do that. I know. But you wrote a song. I mean, I just wonder how you're going to handle that because you're going, I wrote this song. It's the single. I'm here to talk about the single.
Starting point is 00:36:36 How are you going to handle that? I mean, I feel comfortable with you guys. Sure. It's like if I'm going to do it anywhere, I'll do it here. But I don't know. I'll ask me in a few months, I guess. Yeah. Well, specifically.
Starting point is 00:36:46 ask him that. We'll only bring him in to do that one question. Bring me back for one question in three months. You still, you're working out? Yeah. Like, you're good physically? You hit you're hitting hard? Yeah. Not doing the dry January thing right now. Ray did that. Pretty good about it. Ray did it for six days. And then he came on the show and said, I quit. So it was a real, he's like, I'm doing dry January. And then he's like, I quit. We're like, why. He goes, I don't know. It's Saturday. And so I hope you have, yeah, you're done. You're good now. Yeah, well, look, you know, I drank enough beers in Australia over Christmas to, like, last me through January, I think. In Australia, the beer culture there, is it 21, first of all, to drink beer?
Starting point is 00:37:25 No, it's 18. Okay, is it a loose 18, meaning if you're 16, is it like... Oh, no, they're pretty strict about the 18, yeah. Yeah, pretty strict about most things in Australia, actually. Is there an Australian beer that you really like that when you come to the States, you're like, dang, I wish they had koala light? That'd be cool. Yeah, yeah, quite likely awesome. You can probably make that.
Starting point is 00:37:47 It'd probably work in America. But, yeah, look, there's so many beers back home now. It's like all the little micro breweries when I used to live there. Some of those are big beers. I quite enjoy just going along and trying every tap along there. Yeah. I like it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Okay. Anything else, guys? This is it. This is our time. Listen, I try to hang out with him all the time. He's never around. What I think is he sits at home and goes, I'm in Australia. Then he's got to post pictures in Australia on his Instagram, so it's to not blow his cover.
Starting point is 00:38:13 because he doesn't want to hang out. Yeah, he's like, well, I told him, I'm in Australia. So go ahead, Eddie. No, along with the beer conversation, like a lot of people talk about fosters, you know, like, fosters for beer. Oh, yeah. Is that big in Australia or is that just big here? I think at one point it was big in Australia, like maybe in the 70s or something like that.
Starting point is 00:38:28 But I think most of it's made here now. Let's do it, Eddie. Foster's, okay. I do keep out-bought-back. I do keep Foster on the bus in case someone asks that question, and then they have to drink it. So if you come on the bus, remember that. Boomerings, bones. Outback Steakhouse.
Starting point is 00:38:43 We're going to do all the generic, stupid things that everybody, Eddie's opened it up, Outback Steakhouse. Do they have them there? I don't think so. I've never been to an Outback Steakhouse. We should go to one of those together. Oh my gosh. That's what we're going to do.
Starting point is 00:38:55 I'm going to take you and we're going to document your first ever. That's hilarious. Okay, but I'll probably like, hey, where are you? I'm in Australia. Bro, I just like at the show three hours ago. There's no way you can be in Australia in three hours. I'll post a qualifying picture straight off. Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Meat pies. Yeah. You just said, yeah. I don't know what that means. Do you have them? Yeah, absolutely. Oh, that's still a thing? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Ask him about the kangaroo. Well, oh, yes. Ask him about the kangaroo. This final question. It's not about you. I think if you just said, we're generically going to find a kangaroo in Australia. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:39:29 It's just law of averages, and you put it in front of me, I think I can whoop its butt. Fighting a kangaroo? Yeah, I would bet money on me. We're not finding one of those muscle ones that they put on the internet, and we're also not going to get a baby.
Starting point is 00:39:40 It's just a random kangaroo. put it in front of me, I think I could whoop a kangaroo's butt. Okay. Go. Do I think, would I back you over the kangaroo? Yeah, they say, here's $10,000 who are you betting on, to the death. To the death. Yeah, I mean, look, there's different kinds of kangaroos, right? You got the gray kind, which are around the coastal areas where most people live. Yeah, I definitely whoop them. They got those big, red musly ones. Yeah, but they don't have agility I have. They're too many muscles. Are you taking on one of the big ones? I'm taking on a random kangaroo. It doesn't matter. They just grab one. They just draw all the lottery. This kangaroo, whoop. Average kangaroo.
Starting point is 00:40:11 average kangaroo. Average is you'll beat an average kangaroo. Really? What's up? An expert. Wow. You know what his middle name is? Morgan Rue Evans.
Starting point is 00:40:20 So don't tell me that the guy doesn't know about kangaroos. All right. All right. So you're going to Europe and you're playing these shows with Mitchell Tenpenny? Yeah. Okay? Yeah. And you're doing those.
Starting point is 00:40:31 I'm trying to see. And then you're doing the shows with Brett Young all like March through, 10th or March, April, May. Yeah. I can do my fingers. I get into May. And then you're all, I mean, you got a bunch of shows, huh?
Starting point is 00:40:42 And then we're about to announce some dates for the middle of the summer, too. Okay, here, though. It's going to be busy, going to be a busy year. Here, though. Some here, some abroad. Okay, stop with leaving. God dang, man. It's gone all the time.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Like, he's trying to create a good career forum all over the globe. Country music is so fun to play all over the world right now. Are you a pop star in Australia? Am I a pop star? Yeah. Oh, I don't know about that. It doesn't mean you have to do pop music, but, okay, are you pop star popular in that people know you that just don't know country music back home? Like do your songs get played on top 40
Starting point is 00:41:14 radio? Yeah. Yeah, they get played on top 40 radio, yeah. That's cool. That's cool. We just got to do the New Year's Eve thing in Australia, which was one of the coolest. The what? The New Year's Eve in Australia. They set up a stage at the opera house in front of the bridge before they do the fireworks and stuff like that, which felt like a good. It was a very old genre show, so I felt good to be involved in that. That's in Sydney. The country guy. Yeah. Wow, that's I've been there. I climbed up on that bridge. Did you?
Starting point is 00:41:39 Yeah, they strap you in, and then you walk up all the stairs, and the wind's blowing you like crazy. And I was just like, I'm just looking for Morgan. And they're like, walked at the top. It was terrible. All right, you guys, at Morgan Evans' music. Songs over for you. Stream it so many times that you need to go to your doctor because you need some medicine to get you happy again. That's how much I think people should stream it.
Starting point is 00:42:05 check it out and then see Morgan all over the world, basically. Morgan, good to see you, buddy. Thank you for performing that. You're amazing. And that is all. Back in a minute. A win is a win. A win is a win.

I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like,
Starting point is 00:44:37 and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:45:26 This woman went on six dates a week so she could get free food. Think of the energy you have to get for six dates a week, though. She's just like, I don't want to buy groceries. So I went out, ate dinner, took leftovers home, ate that for lunch. That's crazy. We got a whole system. That is wild. Hey, Abby, could you do this?
Starting point is 00:45:46 No, absolutely. That is crazy. What's the most dates you've ever been on in a week? Oh, probably like one. I don't like to. Oh, man. I don't want to get carried away like that. You never been on two dates in a week?
Starting point is 00:45:59 No. You mean with the same person or two different guys? No, two different guys. Oh, yeah, no. No, no, because she falls in love with the first one right away. And that's the last first date ever. Well, talk to this one first, though. She does six a week so she can eat.
Starting point is 00:46:12 What are your thoughts on that? that. That is the craziest thing. It's not just like free dinner. It's so much more than that. You're like telling your life story or like getting to know. You don't have to. Oh my gosh. Abby's like you're telling who you love them. You're dedicating your life to them. You know what I mean? Abby, you do jump in, cannibal. Yeah, I guess it's a lot of energy to go. But that's if you're invested. If she doesn't really care, it's not that much of work. But there's the problem. Abby's like you're doodling your name with their last name. It's just so That's what I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:46:44 She just ghosting them after? I don't understand how you can do that. She's not going out with them again. Wow. See, I could not do that. So she makes $95,000 a year, she says. So she ain't broke, but she says she wants to spend it on like prodig bags, totes. And that's what she does.
Starting point is 00:47:02 She says she's a girl boss. So for you, Abby, that wouldn't be the move. No, I would never do that. What about once? What if a guy, you were just moderately interested in at all? And he was like, hey, we're going to take you. to Guy Guy, which is your one restaurant you've been dying to go to. And you didn't really want to go out
Starting point is 00:47:17 with them, but you really wanted to go to this restaurant. Would you consider it? No. Nope, because I... She has standards, guys. I know how I am. Yeah. So on the first day, you give your whole life story? No, I don't do that. Yes, you do. I do the basics. When I say life story, I just mean, you know, the basics. What do you guys believe? Just honestly,
Starting point is 00:47:34 well, she does jump in hard and quick. I mean, remember she went on that first date to get coffee and it was four hours because she... It was not four. That's okay, though. I've been... you know, on situations where it's shorter or longer than I think. I'm not going to judge you for that. But it is a constant theme where you do go hard in the paint, as they say. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:55 I think I'm getting better this year. How have you changed? I've just really worked on it. This year is like 20, almost 30 days old. This year, she fell in love with the guy on the back of an Uber. Has he ever responded? Did he ever respond? Did he ever respond?
Starting point is 00:48:10 I have a crazy thing. I don't want to admit about this. See, here we go. Let's go. Let's go. Are we serious? Okay. I mean, I didn't like tell you this or anything, but.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Oh, guys. Should I? Oh, yeah, you should. Is this breaking news? Do you want to hold it for a second? Yeah, we can. All right, break. Breaking news!
Starting point is 00:48:31 Wow. Can you give it to us this show, though? Yeah. Okay, we'll come back. We have to do the pile, the joke, but we're going to come back with Abby. She's got breaking news. She met a guy in the back of an Uber. But she's changed.
Starting point is 00:48:44 We message, I messaged him from her account because I won the, I spent the will. And there's some update. Does anyone know this update? No. Mike, do you? Did she tell you?
Starting point is 00:48:55 Scova, do you know? No, I don't know. Okay. I can't wait. This is a tease for me. We'll come back in a little bit and hear what happened with Abby and the guy that she messaged in the back of the Uber. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Let's go. Do you live with him? That would be crazy. That would be awesome. We're engaged. They're married. So, by the way, you wouldn't go on a date for food. No.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Never. And we have an update on your dating life. Mm-hmm. Yes. Ramundo, when you guys flew Southwest and all that stuff happened where they canceled everybody's flights and I know you sent off money to be, what happened there? Did you ever get it back? Yeah, so they gave us our flights back.
Starting point is 00:49:33 That was all just comp and everything. And then they gave us $750 on top of that for another free flight whenever we wanted. Each? Yes. Well, together. So we could both probably fly anywhere in America for free. basically $400. Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:45 So you got your flight paid for and then you got close to $400 each. Yes. How long were you stuck? Like what was the damage for you? I mean, that was the thing we really weren't stuck because we already had a rental car and we already were staying in a hotel because there wasn't enough room in our parents' houses. Where? In Michigan. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:04 And then did you drive back? And we drove back, but we already had the rental car. We were already driving in Michigan and doing all that stuff. So, and then they hook you up in anything else? Yeah. So then they go, they say, hey, send us all the receipts. It doesn't matter whatever receipts during this time period send them. So we sent them all in and we got the money.
Starting point is 00:50:21 They gave you cash too? A massive amount. Oh, oh, he wants to tell us. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I want to hear. A massive amount on top of your expenses. So let's say your expenses were $500. They gave you more than $500?
Starting point is 00:50:32 Yeah. What they give you? $622 for what? I don't know a day, a hotel, gas, a rental car, all that. No, no. So you sent in your expenses. Yeah. But some of those expenses you would have had to pay even if you weren't coming home. A little bit. But I mean, we're still driving the car all over Michigan and they said, we'll pay for the gas.
Starting point is 00:50:51 It doesn't matter. Yeah, yeah. So it's not just expenses from you not being able to get home. You just send them your expenses for that time period. Which is simply what they said. They go, yeah, as long as you were doing all that and luckily we were. Dang, that caused him a lot of money. Some people were like asking for interest on their credit card if they paid for stuff. Other people wanted wages lost at work. Meaning if they paid on their credit card and they weren't able to pay it back, they were charged interest. Oh my goodness. Did you get anything back? Yeah, Southwest hooked it up.
Starting point is 00:51:19 I submitted everything and they... Maybe they screwed it up on purpose. They get such great press now. They're the best. Yeah, forgiven. I mean, well, they eventually ended up the ones that got me home, so I forgave them early on. But they gave me all kinds of money back and all kinds of points. Like, points galore.
Starting point is 00:51:37 And they kept me on my A-list status. Hey, I didn't even know if I was going to qualify for that this year. because I didn't fly as much, but they're like, no problem, you got it. Companion Pass, no problem, you got it. You got a companion pass? Southwest, great job. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Bobby, your phone is at home.
Starting point is 00:51:57 You've already come to work. You don't have it. How long could you last? That's a good question. Do I have my laptop? Say no, say you've gone somewhere and you've forgotten your phone because at work you'd obviously have your laptop. So you've left the house.
Starting point is 00:52:11 You can't go back. You don't have your phone. How long can you last? You can't go back? That's tough. What horror movie did this turn into? I'm fine without it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:52:22 For how long? I mean, that didn't sound very convincing. Until I need to go back. Five minutes? No, I'm okay. I'm not addicted to my phone. I like my phone. I enjoy being on it and I'm on it a lot.
Starting point is 00:52:33 But I've given it up for three or four days, period. So it would make me sad. It would be like saying, you forgot your wife. Okay. I love her, but I could do a day without, you know. Yeah, it'd be tough, but yes, I'm fine.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Why? Well, a new poll found that most people could only survive five hours and 11 minutes before they go nuts without their phone. Oh, I would go nuts, though. You didn't ask that. That's like 30, 30, not minutes, seconds. What? I forgot my phone?
Starting point is 00:53:05 That's so unlike me. It says that as long as you have your phone, you can go three days without your laptop, Or a gaming console if you're a gamer. As long as I have my phone, I can go three days without water or food. Oh, my God. Most humans need water. Not when you get your phone.
Starting point is 00:53:20 All right, what else? All right. If you're going on a date soon, especially a first date, I have some foods that you want to avoid ordering. Ooh, let me play this game. Okay. Skettie. Did you get Piscetti all over your face? It's messy.
Starting point is 00:53:33 Yeah. Pesgetty. That's a good one. Yeah. Beans. Ribs. Oh, beans. But that's if you plan to stay over or they plan to stay.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Stay over. What about onion rings? Garlic. Oh, that's good too. And ribs because of all the sauce. Ribs and buffalo wings. That's all we have. What do you have?
Starting point is 00:53:50 Y'all have gotten them. Garlic anything. Anything from the kids' menu? That's weird. Well, crap. Sometimes I want chicken strips. Order the kid's cheaper. Well, that I think is more so it's a first day.
Starting point is 00:54:01 That's a bull. All right. Whatever. Extra death, spicy foods. Like, trying to be all tough because you might start sweating. I was at the gas station in Oklahoma last week. had that hot chip challenge at the gas station. Oh, the Pocky?
Starting point is 00:54:15 Yeah. They had a whole display of the hot chip challenge. We did this a year ago when you had to order it online. I didn't realize you could just go to the gas station and get it. I bet people are burning their mouths up left and right out there. Okay, what else? And then again, if it's a first date romantically themed entrees, like the honeymoon steak and shrimp special or the love boat entree for two. Who I would do that.
Starting point is 00:54:33 On a first date? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, we'll take the love boat. It also would be very expensive. Anytime you order something for two, it's super expensive. Like if you get the rabbi for two, it's like $90. So yes, is it, yes, it's more expensive because it's for two, but also are they kind of giving you a deal? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:54:48 It just makes you feel like it. 45 bucks each. I would look at the rabbi for one and then compare to that. I don't think I would do that. George Strait has revealed the secret to his longevity in music. And he says it's because he's been able to stay focused, believing that he really is good. Like he believes in himself. That's the number one thing.
Starting point is 00:55:09 And then also... To be good. Number two. No, to like know your lane and know what works for you. And he doesn't really stray from that. And he said that he just always grew up wanting to be like Merle Haggard or George Jones
Starting point is 00:55:21 because the older they got, they were still relevant. And that was his goal. That's awesome. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. A win is a win. A win is a win.

Starting point is 00:59:18 What if you get yours back and you're like 91? Yeah. I've been waiting for this ring. Yeah, Peggy's definitely older. Yeah, I would imagine if it's been that long. Well, I'm glad there's probably some memory attached to it. That's great. Yeah, I mean, something special that went missing, what, all those years ago?
Starting point is 00:59:33 Yeah. Yeah, you find it. Plus, it's cool that people go through that much effort to track someone down. That's the part I love and I hope someone will do it for me. They were digging in those coal cases, huh? Oh, man. Imagine all the cool evidence is in those coal cases. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:45 Yeah. Man, think about that. They should have an auction. I want to go to the evidence room. Yeah. See what's in there. Some people get trouble because they take stuff. That's where they do drugs.
