On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here. We break down budgeting, financial discipline,

and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more.

Just a little bit bigger hips. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drinks. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Oh, they hit a bogo. Well, then you got it. Listen to soccer moms on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast.

And then you hear him in an interview. He's like, oh, what? I'm like, what? The first time I think it happened was that Damon guy who was in homeland. I didn't watch billions. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And he's doing like a ward.

He's like, I blow a lot to thank all. Wait, what? You're not America. I thought you're from New York. And sometimes, my wife can go, they're not, she can like hear a little accent sometimes when people are doing it.

She's like, oh, they're not America. I can't. The other guy is. The Walking Dead guy. Andrew Lincoln, the guy from Walking Dead. He's like, okay, we're going to get him. We're going to fight the zombies. He's from Georgia.

And then all of a sudden, it's like, the latest one, because I love the boys and the lead guy in that show. He plays like a mixture of Captain America and Superman. His name is Anthony Starr. And he's from New Zealand. And he's like, all my foreign accents are the same in case you didn't wonder. I guess you wondered.

We're going to play, is it American? So because of this, I'm going to give you a product or a person. You tell me if it's American. Because we definitely enjoy and consume whatever this is in America. You tell me if it's actually American. Okay. Lunchbox, Amy, here we go. So, Coca-Cola.

Is it American? Coca-Cola. I'm in. Lunchbox? That's American. Amy? Yes. Yeah, Coca-Cola was created in Atlanta, Georgia.

U.S.A. Apple Pie. It's no more American than Apple Pie. Isn't it the saying? American is Apple Pie. Amen. I'm in for the win. Amy?

No. Lunchbox? That is not American. Apple Pie has origins in Europe, particularly in England. Apple Pie is not American. Don't worry, we've claimed it, though, much like this land we stole. We stuck a flag in that apple pines and said, we now own this. Baseball.

I'm in. I'm in for the win. Amy go, yep, I'm in. Your answer? I believe it's yes. Lunchbox? Well, that's American as American gets. It's American, yeah.

It's developed in the United States, yes. The hot dog. I'm in for the win. Lunchbox. Not American. Amy? No. The Frank Furger.

It's German. Frank Burger. Frank Firder. You're all right, though. Good job. We'll do a couple more. We call it Frank for short. Huh.

Frank Furter. Yeah. The Statue of Liberty. That's a tough one. I'm in for the win. Lushbox? I mean, by adoption, American, but we were given to it as a gift. So I said non-American.

Who do you think gave it to us? Probably the British. Okay, Amy? France gave it to us. France gave it to us, yeah. All right, if you missed one, you're out. Okay, we'll go sudden death from now on. Christian Bale, the actor.

Good for you. Dark night. I'm in for the win. Why does he sound so weird now in my head? Good for you. He does not sound like the Lucky Charles Leprocon. I can tell you whatever that is. Yeah, but does he have that kind of accent?

I don't know. You tell me, it's Christian Bale American. No. You're in lunchbox? I'm in. Unfortunately, I said in and I had the wrong actor. What do you have? I had not American, but I had the wrong actor.

What actor were you thinking? Huge Hackman, Wolverine. Oh, he is not American. Yeah. Yeah. Amy? I have a yes. He's American. So you have two yeses? No, I'm not American because I have Hugh Jackman.

Well, but you, the answer is, this is where it gets so confusing. He's not American. You win the game, but you had no idea you won the game. Where's he from? He's an English actor. He's from Wales. Wow! Look at that! He had it the whole time. He knew it the whole time.

That's right. Bobby Bones. When we were young and just dating, I was okay with my husband spending a lot of his free time playing video. game, skateboarding or making music with his friends. We've been married for a decade. He has two kids now. When can I expect him to grow up and stop wasting all of his time goofing off? I'm not unreasonable.

He should spend some of his free time relaxing and doing things that he loves. But he has a family now and thinks that it's just he's going to go to work, earn a paycheck, and that's enough. It's not. How can I get him to take his family responsibilities more seriously? Signed, married to a kid old. That's funny. Well, a little bit. he is who he is and you let him be who he is for 10 years and now it's becoming like a little bit you've helped create this monster by not setting boundaries way earlier if there are two kids well at one point there was one kid yeah and you said nothing so i'm not saying you're wrong and i'll get to probably where we can manage this but a little bit this is look in the mirror because both of you have allowed this situation to happen

You cannot expect him to grow up and stop wasting this time goofing off if you just allow it because he's going to continue to be who he is and what is allowed. He's showing you that. There is a difficult conversation of, hey, my needs are being met because I'm spending all this time doing ABC while you are doing these things that I feel in this household are not of equal value when it comes to the maturity level that we need to be parents. And you can't shut him down because that's going to be met with complete anger. So you're going to have to wean him off. How do you do that? So let's say I'm taking a pill and it's a 1,000 milligram pill. Do they make pills that big?

Thousand milligrams? Sure. Okay. Let's say I take a thousand milligram pill and I take a thousand milligram pill every day for four years because I have itchy noseitis. And I become dependent. Maybe even, I want to say addicted, but I become dependent on that pill. Your body's used to it. If I just stopped taking a cold turkey, my body's going to go, oh, I'm going to get sick.

I'm going to have withdraws. I may have headaches and vomiting. Who knows? And I'm using the nose-ditching pill. It could be anything. Sure. To wean yourself off would be you do your thousand. Day two, you break off a little bit.

You do a 950. Go back to 1,000 on day three. 950, 1,000, 950, 950. Week 2. 1,000, 950, 950, 1,000. Eventually, you're going down to 500. Taper down. 300.

I understand the we weaning, but what are weaning down? Is it the same point? Yeah. Oh, I thought he normally... Can you just pick one? No, no, no. Yes, eventually that you can get there.

There's a lot of things he's doing here. But what you can do, if you shut any of it off, it's going to be met probably in an aggressive way or passive aggressive way that's not going to be good for the relationship. So it's like, hey, I need a little more help. I know you, but I need you to trim off 20 minutes.

Just 20 minutes of all this stuff you're doing a week, to help me. And then all you have to do is you slowly turn 20 minutes into 30 into 45. And you can get to a healthier, safer place. Because if you just stop taking that 1,000 milligram pill, you're going to have withdraws and it's going to be miserable for everybody. But if you're able to taper down, wean yourself off of and him of doing all of this all the time, it's much easier to get to that point. It's like boiling a frog. You know the story about boiling a frog? No. You know how to boil a frog, you put it in cold water. And while the frog's in the cold water, you slowly turn the temperature. I don't like this analysis.

And the frog does not realize the frog is boiling because it's moving, the temperature is going up so warm. It goes from cold water where it's comfortable. And the degrees of the temperature is rising just little by little by little. It doesn't realize it until it's too late and it is now boiled. Is this a fairy tale? No, this is a science. But you have to boil the frog here as well. Because if you drop it in hot, he tries to hot.

Oh my God, I'm out of there. I'm out of five of it. So that's why, that's that's that. Okay. It's the anonymous index. That's my answer. Good luck. You can fix it, but you will not fix it fully because that is not something.

to be fixed, it is something for you guys to have a little marital negotiation on. You both give a little. You're both still pretty happy. Nobody's a full winner, but not everyone's a loser. Or figure out a way to ride your skateboard, play video games, and play music with your friends all at the same time. That would be awesome. Yeah, that would be cool. I'd want to do that three times as much, though.

You can play a show at the skateboard. Oh, my God, that would be the greatest thing. That's what I want to do. All right, close it up. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. A year ago or so, this guy named Jason called the show, and he was like, I'm a brand new artist.

Am I even any good? You have to move with this? Yeah. And we were like, dang, you're kind of good. And so he's playing baseball in college. He starts playing little bars. We keep up with him. His name's Jason Arndt.

We've tried to get him to change his name ten times. He's not going to. But we like him. Like, he's a very likable person. And I'm about to break the news to him that we're going to play his song. He's not on a label or anything. That we're going to play his song on the National Countdown Show, which is in many.

places. So let's go talk to him now. He does not know what's coming. This is Jason Arndt. On the Bobby Bones show now. Jason Arndt. Jason, what's up, buddy? How we doing? Pretty good. I have not seen. This is so annoying. Jason comes on and he's like a former ball player and we look at his Instagram and he's touring and we're like, man, he's an athlete and he's good looking. Now he's on Zoom and he's even better looking. This is so stupid. Okay. Jason, how you doing, man? How's the road been? It's the road, man. It's busy. It's a lot of work. It's a lot of time, a little sleep, but we get through it. Yeah, so you're driving around a van or a truck or what? How are you torn around? So I take my truck and I just hook a trailer up to it and then we just,

we just hit the road and we go until we stop going, then we play, and then we go somewhere else until we stop going and play. And you're committed now. Like, this is your life. It's music. It's, it's plan A. And then if plan A doesn't work, it's still plan A, right? Yeah. So I was working, I was working construction a lot. So I graduated this May. And up until that point, baseball was kind of the focal point. And then I started working construction during the week this summer, Monday to Thursday, before the shows really started picking up. And now that the shows are really started picking up and we start going all over the place, it's, it's kind of hard to do that. So I got rid of that. And now we're just going full-time music. We'll just hit it hard.

What about your band? Like, who's on the road with you? So it kind of changes here and there because it's all local guys from North Carolina right now. And so with some of those guys have kids and jobs and that kind of stuff. So we try and keep it the same so that we put on the same show every time. But every once in a while, you'll get a different guy here and there that he'll come in and give a different little flavor for my show, which is also really cool. So Jason Arnt is on with us. I have his hat on. Look at this. I'm a big supporter. Number one fan club. That's me. I pay the monthly dues and I get the stuff. It's pretty cool. Although I don't think that's the case. He actually sent it up here. I like it. So Jason,

here's why we actually have you on. So I do a show on the weekend. It's called the Country Top 30. It's a national countdown show. It's in America. It's in other countries, too. And we're going to actually play My July on the National Countdown show. And we wanted to call and let you know that we were going to feature that sucker and let everybody hear it all around the world. That's awesome. Thank you so much. And do you want to cry? A little bit. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I needed that. A little bit. Yeah, yeah. So, my July, like, tell me about the song. Like, what's this song about? So this song, I'll tell you the story of how it came about. So I was sitting there. We were actually recording one of my other songs, like a small town at the time.

And my producer, he kind of looked at me and he goes, hey, man, like I got this song that I kind of like. Me and my buddy kind of pieced it together and I want to see what you think. And he played it. And instantly, like, I could feel it. I was like, okay, that one's really, really cool. And so it was way different back in the, and when I heard it. But I knew it had a lot of potential. So we kind of, that song went through so many different phases and stages.

and we tweaked it so many times that we finally got it to where I liked it and where I felt like it could be something that I liked to play live, something that I figured my fans might like. And so that's when I felt comfortable to get ready to roll it out. And we recorded it and we cut it and it felt different. And so it was really cool to feel that. Do you feel that the shows are growing a bit? Oh, yeah, for sure.

Like, I mean, when we first started, my very first show this summer tour, after baseball finished and we got going was in Wilmington. I'm pretty sure I played to like 45 people. And so since then, that was second week of June, I believe. By the time we got to the end of July, early August, I mean, there's upwards of 800 to 1,000 plus people at each show. Last weekend we played in Charlotte on Saturday. And I think there was 12, 1,500 people there at that bar,

which was really cool. and it's just it's been growing and it's it's so fun to see all that stuff happen and and the coolest part is when those people that are following you around they they sing your songs back to you that's the coolest feeling um with how fresh and how new all this stuff's been are people singing my july back to you at all Absolutely. That's the most requested song I have. And that's a cool feeling too is when you're playing some songs and someone will go, I want to hear my July. It's like, wow. Okay. Like when I, the way I felt in that room, when we cut it is exactly how these people are feeling too. And that's what's so cool to me. What if somebody says, we want to hear Wonderwall. Oh, well, that was tough. So this is Jason Arndt, A-R-E-N-D-T. We tried to get him a change his name for months. He's not doing it. You know what? I'm proud of him. He's still by it.

It's impossible to say it in the spell, but you know what? That's what makes him special. And we're going to play this song, My July, on the National Countdown Show, and I hope people hear it and they start following him at...

But his name's also at Jason Arndt, right? I mean, with underscore at the end. Like, he's made it... It's the most... It's like a maze to be a fan. Like, at Jason, aren't underscore. And you can't even spell aren't, and you got to remember the underscore.

Jason, defend yourself again. I need it. It's tough, you know. I'm pretty sure I tried to go at Jason Arndt and it was taken. And I'm like, how? Exactly. Like, who would keep that name? Even the J-A-Y. Even the J-A-Y, that's a great point too.

J-A-Y-S-O-N-D-T was taken. Underscore, yeah, yeah, exactly. But it had to have beat me to it because there's no way somebody else has got that same here. Maybe they're squatting on it. Could you buy it? Oh, I don't know. I like the underscore, though. It makes me a little different. You're right, buddy.

It is. Listen, we are rooting for you. We've talked to you for months and months. Everybody go Instagram at Jason, aren't underscore, but J-A-Y. Abby, do you keep going to the computer to see what he looks like? Abby, what's, Abby's totally like. She's in love. No, no, I just wanted to see what he looks like

because I've talked to him on the phone so many times. But you've walked over like three times to watch him. No, I haven't. You have. I've watched you walk over to look at him three times. Well, it wasn't up one of the times. I wanted to wait until it was up. Hey, Jason.

Hey, Jay. Oh. Happy. Okay, so here's what I want to say. Oh, my God. Jason has shows coming up in Conway, South Carolina, Morehead City, North Carolina. In two shows, Wilmington, North Carolina.

Go watch Jason. We have been talking to Jason for weeks and weeks. We've never actually met him. And Jason, we're going to play this on the National Countdown show. And good luck, buddy. And I hope this is super cool for you because it's super cool for me to be able to do it. Thank y'all so much. It is so cool.

It's awesome. All right. anything else from you guys. Abby, anything else? You want to come to get one more Pixie? I saw it. No, he took a photo. That's cool. I just want to see his reaction. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll be all course. I don't see his reaction. All right, Jason. Hey, congratulations, buddy. And, hey, does anybody ever say, hey, are you the guy from the Hurd John the Bibone show? I've had a lot of that on socials, actually. There have been people that will reach out and say that, which is really cool. But nobody in person because they can't find you. They're like, is this to Jason? They can't find me real life.

Exactly. Jason, congratulations, and hopefully we'll talk to you soon, buddy. Thank you very much. Y'all are awesome. All right, see you, bud. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And Rule 2, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me?

The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I'm Ego Wode. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day and I was like 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 they 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

He goes but there's so much luck involved And he's like just give it a shot He goes but if you ever reach a point Where you're banging your head against the wall And it doesn't feel fun anymore It's okay to quit If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.

Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program.

I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So this is like the movie Father of the Bride, like the wedding that takes place at the home there, but in real life. So this daughter really had this desire to get married at her childhood home. But the house just really wasn't equipped for that, the backyard. Like nothing really would have worked.

So her parents spent a year getting everything together doing as much as they could, even on their own. Like a mom was doing stuff inside. Dad was doing work in the yard. And they got it totally ready. And she was able to have the wedding of her dreams right in her childhood home. It reminds me that Home Depot commercial where the guy like secretly builds the daughter of the arts and then we'll look. Yeah. And then I also like,

wasn't married at the time, nor did I have a dad or a daughter, and there was no reason for me to be weepy, but I was. Because it's like that real personal stuff. That's awesome. Now they have to stay together for a while, though. Because a year they dedicated to the backyard, you at least got to give five years of marriage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They came after all of that. That's correct. Great story. That's a real family right there. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Here we go.

On the Bobby Bones Show now. Ella Langley. Yeah, well, I became a big fan. Just by a time. TikTok. I mean, you pop it up in algorithm because obviously I have a lot of country music and algorithm and it's been really cool to watch it organically, like especially this song, just become a monster. Yeah. I don't know. What does that felt like to you? Is like more people recognizing you? More people come into when you're playing. Like, what's been happening? Well, um, I've wanted to do this my whole entire life. This isn't something I just kind of stumbled

upon and was like, yeah, I like playing guitar or I love singing. Like this is just like, it's, It's like a limb. It's just something. I was always going to do this. And I've been working really hard at it for a minute. I moved here five years ago. And before that, I was going to school at Auburn. You went to school to Auburn? Yeah. Yeah, I went for the two years when I went to school. And then I dropped out and moved here. But yeah, I just play a lot of cover gigs. I started out restaurants. I mean, literally every kind of gig you can play. I've done it. Whatever you can travel therein. I've done that too. Like just traditional. Someone moves to Nashville. Yeah. With a dream. you're playing anything you can play to make money to survive so you can chase the bigger dream.

But then this song hits so hard. Again, I would just start singing it, forgetting where I would even have heard it. Yeah. Because it would pop up. And not just in your videos, it would start to be used in other places too. I just wonder what that feels like when something starts to build, wherever it starts to build. Do you actually day-to-day feel, again, more people pursuing like your music? or is it like, man, I know it's blowing up, but I'm really not seeing it yet.

No, I'm seeing it. I'm seeing it. This song is crazy. That's what I was saying. I've been doing this for so long, and it's been a slow climb and I've put out single after single and kind of just organically grown fans. But this song, it's, the things it's done, and we didn't even plan on, this song was never supposed to leave my audio recordings on my phone. I wrote it as a joke with Aaron Raytier first, and then the label heard it and loved it. And then Riley asked us on tour. And him and I just, kind of being from the same area growing up on the same kind of music and I was thinking maybe we could do it out in the road. That's why I asked him to do it. I was like, hey, just kind of write the second verse how you would respond to a girl coming up to you in the bar like that. What I like about it is

it's so old school talky singing, which very much happened in the 40s, 50s. It sounds super, super, super traditional with people that aren't born in the 40s and the 50s. Is that probably why it wasn't supposed to be more than a voice recording? Because you thought, I don't know, will anybody even think this is a legitimate song? No. I think it's just kind of more, I'm drunken, I'm ready to leave. You know, it's kind of silly, you know, but yeah, I guess it's a little bit of a risk, you know, just because it's not something, it's not the popular thing to do.

You know, and traditional country is only just now kind of coming back. So, yeah, I don't know, but I grew up on it. I love it, and I'm just kind of doing what I love to do and not what I think other people think they want me to do. Did anybody suggest that you change some of, when you recorded it, some of like the talking parts of the song? Yeah, we went back and forth a lot on it, on singing it, on all kinds of different things. I never wanted to sing.

I never wanted a song. I'm never going to release a version where it's sung. I don't think you should. It's awesome how it is. My argument to the label was every other song, I've put out sings the verses. So can I not just have one that doesn't? And that's why it sticks out so much though, right?

Yeah. Well, that, I mean, come on a girl walking up to a guy in a bar. You know, it's like, that's also not a common thing in country. Well, not over the past 10 years. Now recently it has been. But yeah, so I don't know. It's kind of a risque thing to do. But it's crazy to see the reaction.

I just started my first headlining tour. And it's a little nerve-wracking to have such a viral song and wonder, are they going to be here just. for that. But I put out my debut record, which is what you look like you love me, came off of. And they're singing every word to every song. It's crazy. They're listening to the whole thing. And it's just wild. It's like I'm just watching my dreams come true. It's that one viral thing, though, that gets them to even pay attention to the rest, right? Yeah. Well, it's also cool, too. Just a lot of these fans are not just the song, but, you know, I saw you out with Randy Houser.

That was my first tour three years ago. Or I saw you with John Party or I saw you a Riley. You know, it's a lot of these fans see we've grown through playing so many shows over the years and just working hard that way. But yeah, it's wild to see when that song, when we went, da-da-da-da-da-da. We did it in Hyde Park, too. That was probably the wildest time thus far. It was 50,000 people. That's crazy.

We opened it for Morgan. And it was just crazy. That was probably the first time I had seen a crowd, like a mass amount of, people sing words that I had written and for it to be 50,000 people in the UK was it's just hard to to, I don't know, it's hard to put into words almost. I remember I had my ears in because when you're way, way out there, the slap back was so bad so it's like you can't keep up with the drum. You got to keep your ears in. So it's hard to hear the crowd. And I kind of remember walking back being like, that was crazy. I just like, I don't know if I registered anything. And I was like walking back

thinking like just a normal time of us singing the song and um everyone that was like on both of our teams was like was that crazy and they showed me back the video and me and riley both watched it and it was just like massive so i think that's but when we both realized it was like the song is doing something ridiculous and also i mean riley's a massive star and he's like perfect for the song as well yeah like all the stars kind of aligned with him going yeah i'll do the song that's cool and And he's also a big star, and it works with him. Yeah. What was the at?

How did you ask him? Hey, you want to do this song? Well, um... Text him a version of it. Was it always a duet? No, I mean, like I said, I wrote it just for fun. I mean, it wasn't like... But you didn't write for fun like another...

A duet? No. No, no, no. I just, I was just listening to it after we cut it. Um, it was not going to be a duet right when we first cut it, but, um, Riley asked us on tour right around the same time. So I don't know. I just, I just thought of the idea.

I was like, God, what if we asked Riley? to sing the second verse and then we could do it on the road and obviously I didn't think it would just do what it's doing now it's hard to expect something like this but um so did you have a second verse before he came yeah yeah and that's what I'm singing out on the actually we wrote a lot of verses when we wrote the song we just kind of giggled and wrote as many verses as we had in us and then we just picked our favorite ones so I kind of throw those alt verses in the um live show right now I usually start off with like before there was a man named raleigh green singing this song and then all the girls were like, ah, and then I'm like, ah, I was singing the second verse. Yeah, I tried to get

Riley do a duet with me. He turned it down, so I was just jealous. Yeah. He didn't, he didn't like that. Well, really, my manager, Bradley Jordan, he's the reason I met Riley, and he's just helped a lot of artists coming up, but he showed it to him. I was like, and then, and then, yeah, I think, actually, I played a show with Riley, and I went on his bus, and I said, I think my first line was, Riley, do you like making money? That was my first pickup. That was my first line. And didn't know he was going to do anything from there.

But that's how I started. And now he makes money. He makes it anyway. He makes more now, which is always fun. I'm being told that Riley just arrived. Riley Green has entered the building. So why don't we take a break? Ella Langley's here.

Is that true? Scuba is Riley here? Yep. Yeah, he's in the green room. Okay. Riley Green has entered the building. Wow, there are, there's underwear being thrown at him as he walks down through the hallway. This is wild.

We don't even know. There's nobody else in the whole building. Underware is still landing on his head. We'll be back in one second. We'll get Riley in studio. You guys will perform it? Yeah. All right.

Back in one second. Okay, so Ella Langley's here. Riley Green has entered the room. Riley, good to see, buddy. Yeah. Thanks for having me. Thanks for coming up. And so I think what we'll do first, if you don't mind, why?

I would love to hear the song live and then we can just talk a little more. You guys are good with that? It's good with that. Okay. So this is a song that I love That I'm playing on the show And I sometimes sing it And I wonder

Where did I hear it And then realize It was on like nine different videos From nine different people And this is called You Look Like You Love Me It's Ella Langley and Riley Green Oh, the performance on the podcast

But if you go to our YouTube page You can wait All right Now back to the podcast How many times do you guys You guys have played that together now First time It was good

Hey you nailed the first one I'll think we've done it The same time twice same weight twice. Yeah. No. Over 50 now at this point? Can you like, because again, when you...

I'm not good with numbers, but I would say 10. Oh, okay. So, so... Yeah, that's... Okay, see, I'm not good with that. I don't know. I don't know. Probably, like, us together, probably like...

I'll say it's gotten louder every time we've played it, which has been really fun to watch. Why did you say yes to the song? Well, I've always liked Ella. She's from Alabama. very, very country, musically and spiritually. Yes. And we just grew up the same way.

Bradley Jordan, her manager is a really good buddy of mine, and he kind of put me on to her. I just like to see good folks do well, and she was on tour with me. I thought it made a lot of sense. I thought the song was fun. Had no clue it was a giant hit. I thought talking verses was probably a little too old school,

a little too traditional, but how cool is it that a song that this country is doing this well? You know, when did you start to notice, oh, crap, this is a, this is a monster? Like, did it randomly ever just come up, or were your people just letting you know? Well, no, I mean, I've never had any type of, I guess, what you would call is like viral. You know, and this song is really like viral. I mean, I can barely work TikTok. I don't really know how that works, but it's just everywhere.

So you'd get your phone out, and it was every scroll would you hear this song playing. So I guess that was kind of the eye-opening thing about it. but certainly playing it at a show. I think maybe, yeah. I mean, some of the stuff I would just kind of randomly bring Elle up and we would do a couple of songs together and we did this one a couple of times and it just didn't take long.

That's crazy. That's so cool that because it organically happened, right? Like you. Yeah. And any creator, any musician and the artist, you're always one really special piece of content away from having a real shot going viral. You never know what it can be.

And there are people that, it's a weird dynamic because, you know, you're like, you don't want to give it too much power. But also, if it's really good and nobody's giving it a chance, sometimes the chances right here, like just a platform that is able to be used. And I think this is one of those examples of 500 executives are going to hear that song and go, like, well, you just said, Riley, it's maybe this little too old school. We're probably not going to invest any money. However, the people freaking loved it. And that's what makes all the difference in it. Even after you wrote it, you're like, I don't know that anybody will ever hear this. Well, yeah, I mean, I just kind of, like, my whole goal for writing the song was just to, honestly, this is this when I was still playing a lot of rounds in town.

It's just have a song when, like, no one's listening and they're all talking to maybe they'd laugh a little bit because I'm talking in the verses, you know. But yeah, some of my hansson, she works on my team and she heard it. And she just was like, dude, you've got to, you've got to send this in. And I just fought it for so long. This is the first time you put it up, that people reacted to it or it'd take a few times? No, no, it did not. It just wasn't that hard. Like I just posted one, we are out on the roads, I think on the West Coast,

towards the end of the tour, and I just posted like a video of me doing the verse, and that's it. And that's kind of what started it. And then I did one other video of just me singing the chorus, and that's the sound that everyone's been using. But then whenever we did Red Rocks and posted us that he's actually on the song, and then, yeah, when we did it for the show, the last day of the tour, too. I'm a sports nerd

and I like sports memorabilia This is going to be a A segue You're going to see I'm such a loser This is how I heard the song the first time As I was watching this sports memorabilia Being broken The song's playing in the background

And I'm like That sounds like Riley I don't know who the girl is What is that song? I hear it as a background sound When I'm watching them Freaking Break signed helmets And so I've searched for a couple things

I heard That's where I heard it Then it was so ubiquitous Just existing everywhere then that's when I started to play it here. But like, congratulations. Like, it's, it's, it's something that's so awkwardly awesome that it makes all the bit of sense.

And it's why it resonates so much because it doesn't sound like everything else. Yeah. And it's good. Well, I think it's also, like, kind of for this next record, I'm already working on it. But just like the creative freedom I have now, just it's like, there's literally no singing in the verses

and his songs on radio doing well right now and it's wild. So I kind of. feel like it's kind of ripping the structure out of my head a little bit and just doing what feels good. I mean, when I think about like Conway Loretta, because they were awesome. They do their music together. They do funny songs. They do talky songs.

They do singing songs. That's what it kind of feels like to me. Yeah, you're the reason our kids are ugly. Yeah. So, yeah, it's cool. That's a great one. You know the song? You're the reason our kid.

Kids are ugly. Riley, I was talking about you on social media. I didn't know you're going to be here. And at one point, I was like, I want everybody to make sure that they know. know this is a compliment, but I was talking about how you're, everybody knows you're a star and you have a lot of hits, but I don't think people understand the amount of mega star you are at shows, meaning what I compared it to is you have a lot of number one songs, a lot, and you have a very successful career, but any other people that I know that have had that many number one songs,

they don't have the crowds that you have. And I was talking about, the only other artists I've seen do it like this kind of low-key megastar it is Kane, Brown, who it took forever for people to understand the Kane had built this following that selling out arenas until people are like, oh yeah, but that's you now.

And I think what you're doing is on such a level and people don't even understand the level it's on right now. And I just want to like congratulate you and celebrate you because you are, you're killing it. So I was talking about you a little bit

on this thing. Well, I took it as a compliment regardless of how you meant it when I heard it. So I appreciate the kind words and it's, man, it's a wild time. I think it has to do with a lot of putting out a lot of music. You know, I've got a lot of songs that haven't been on the radio

that people seem to know. And, you know, the song with Ella is a great example of you just never know what somebody's going to latch on to. You know, I thought the chorus was catchy, you know, in the song, and maybe it'd be a little bit of an earworm, but to see it be as big of a song it is, just proves you never know. And, you know, writing from where you come from

and hopefully people can relate to it. And I think that's what Ellen is. Ella does really well and it's working really well for us right now, so I'm blessed to be out here doing it. Are you on the road every weekend now? Yeah, I thought I was on the road today. You are on the road. Wake up. Wake up. I had to come play a guitar gig today for Ella.

Beautiful dream. That's my shit and guitar player. That's how big the song is. I'm playing guitar for Ella now. Ella Langley, and by the way, Ella's album is out. It's called Hung Over. It came out in August. So hopefully you hear this song and what it does is you go, oh, I like that.

Let me go check out some other stuff. That's the great thing about something popping. Is that people check out the other stuff if they like that. That was the plan. Yeah. And Riley Green, maybe you've heard of them a big deal. So does the line work though? The line?

It depends what the girl looks like how drunk the guy is. That's generally what it is. I'm waiting to hear about like, you know, that pick up line got us married. Yes. I'm ready for that. Or you see this kid right here? Thank you. Except it's like, see this kid, we're not married, but thank you.

I said that. Now it's an accident. You're welcome. Ella Riley, thank you guys for coming in. Appreciate it. Congratulations. Looking forward to Ellis and seeing you a whole lot more. Thank you.

There they are. Ellen Riley. Good job, everybody. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions,

There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And Rule 2, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.

I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves.

Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, everyone? I'm Ego Vodom. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live,

and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice. advice ever. I went and had lunch with him one day and I was like, 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. He goes, but there's so much

luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat, just hang in there.

Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. and then there's your body having its own program.

I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. How many times a week do you take a nap? None? None. None. Yeah, I don't either.

I might. I might get one in if it's like a really, really, really packed day. And I get, I sit on couch and I'll set my alarm for 15 minutes. And sometimes I wonder, did I fall asleep? That's weird. I know, that's weird. But I'm my, why do you, how many do you get a week? Probably five. Every day, huh? No, not every day. Every workday. No, sometimes I don't get on a work day. Sometimes it's on a Saturday or Sunday. Average nap length of those five? Oh, hour, hour 15. That's awesome. That's good. Yeah, summer shorter and it's like, man. We're not even hating, but summer longer. Oh, summer longer. What's a long nap?

Long nap is three hours. That's my sleep at night sometimes. It sucks. That's awesome. Sometimes on the weekends, I'll take a nap and the kids will wake up from their nap where I do. Oh, your kids still nap? And they just take care of themselves, feed themselves. It's a jungle book.

Oh, man. It's all Moly in the forest with Jungle Book and lunchbox. How long ago did you guys get up? We've been watching a movie. Oh, my bad. 65% of people say they frequently want to nap before noon. Average person gets about a 30-minute nap a week in general all days in. Dang.

And lunchbox five days a week. Yeah. Rocking it. Good for him. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So a hot topic right now is what type of friend you are. Are you type A or are you type B? Where the differences?

Type A is the very responsible one. You plan, organize everything. You have a sense of urgency and you make sure things like, you know, vacations don't fall apart. Yeah. Type B, you'd give someone the shirt off your back, but you need help too. You're forgetful. You leave stuff behind and your phone is always dead.

I'd like to assign these to you to, to, I am type A, extremely, annoyingly. Like, don't get me wrong, I get it. I'm a little over. And then all the rest of your type B. Pretty much, pretty much, yeah. 100%. I mean, it's difficult to be both.

I've never felt more seen, actually. Oh, do you guys not feel like it's difficult to be a B? It's hard to be a B? How is it hard? It's great to be a B. Oh. I mean, sometimes it's hard when your phone's dead. Like, I naturally am an A, but sometimes I just am like too much of an A.

I'm like, oh, you get annoyed with the bees. I don't like myself because I'm just, no, I'm not, no, I'm not annoyed with the bees so much if that's what I know you for. And that's what I know you guys for. But you give me the shirt off your back. That's what I. That's right. All right. So speaking of friendships, is it okay to lie to your friends about what time and events starts?

Yeah. How about wives? Yes. Them too. Everybody, it's not just in general. It's people that you know are going to be chronically late. So you start, you just bump the time. The problem is once they start to realize you're bump with the time, then you've got a double bump the time.

Then they decide to be on time one time. And when you've double bump the time, and then you're there 45 minutes early, so then you never can bump it again. Right. I'm not from personal experience or anything. I bring this up because of a viral TikTok video where this happened to a woman. If you're my best friends who just made a reservation for 830 and told me 8. Well played because I just showed up at 822 and was like to those says, oh, like, this table for 8 o'clock and she was like for 830? She was like, you're the first one here.

And I was like, well played, well played. So I'm Taipei again, and you got some type A. Yep. Yeah. Okay. Do you know what the O in O'clock stands for, since we're talking about time? Wow, I don't. I mean, think about this.

Four O'clock. Four, oh, crap, you guys are late. I've been waiting on you for a while. I don't know. I have no idea. Yeah, well, so when they would talk about time, be like, well, of the clock, it would be like, that is. Oh, oh.

It's eight of the clock. Interesting. And so the O is of the. Do you know what cop stands for? You know what that means? Excuse me? Cops. What does you say?

Cop. Cop. Like police? Cop. What do you think? Yep. Or cop. Well, yeah.

Obviously it's police. Hold on, no, no. Because you can cop to something. Good point, Amy. Cop is short for something? No. Yes, but no. But you know where it comes.

Correctional officer position. No, it's not an acronym. No, we don't know. Okay. Cop. Yeah, I've never thought about it, meaning there's police. Cops, sure. But then a cop,

copper copture I laugh because copter is funny but it actually is like a foreign language maybe French to capture

it's got what he comes from oh to copter no not copter that's not it I am going to capture you I'm going to capture you but I never thought about cop meaning

something I didn't even know bad boys bad boys what you're going to do when I capture you there you thank you is that it

yeah so it's the word copper was the original word used in Britain to mean someone who captures and copper is from the cigar, which is a different word,

but copper. Cop is from copper, which means to capture, which is cigar. I got you. I never have just thought about that, but cop. Anyway, that's my brain.

Okay. There's my brain on OCD. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. Which Bobby? Tell me something good. Robert Kirk is a Walmart greeter in Salt Lake City, and he does this thing.

He comes in. He'll be like, what? Hey, what's a little jokes, little stuff. And so Cody Wilson and her family, they would go into Walmart. And Robert would talk to her and could tell Cody was struggling. There was a sudden shift in her mom's health. There was some financial issues. And so again, Robert Kirk, who, by the way, Walmart greeters,

they're not making six figures, right? No. They're showing up, doing their job. He learned that she was living on Social Security. And so he was like, hey, first you went to the people at Walmart. Then he started a crowd fund campaign, just to raise a little bit to get a little bit of financial relief, telling her story.

He did all this on his own, and she came in, and he gave her $10,000. Wow. From it. Just from, like, hearing her story, working the people in,

and then throwing up a little crowd fund that didn't even go that viral. It wasn't like a $10 million crowd fund, but just the people in the area that he knew made $10,000 bucks and was able to help her get out of a pretty rough place financially while she dealt with the other stuff.

It's awesome. See, now Robert Kirk, the greeter needs either ARAs, hopefully a raise, but two, if they give them like military, like stars or like Cracker Barrel, you get more stars. He should get some extra flair for that. That's like Boy Scouts.

Like you get a new something because you just change somebody's life. Yeah. It's a great story. Robert Kirk, shout out. That story from KSLTV. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. And that is the end of the first half of the podcast.

A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep. That's me, Clivert Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Cliford Show.
