Sunday sampler time, clips from some of the podcasts here on the Nashville Podcast Network. And this week's Bobbycast, a compilation of stories of famous people meeting other famous people like Hauser meeting DiCaprio on Killers of the Flower Moon.

Darius Rucker, performing with Al Green, is a really cool one. So we're going to get to Amies and Carolines and the sore losers. But let's start with this from the Bobbycast. Well, how did you and Blake become friends?

Because it seems like you guys are pretty close. We were. And it are. We still are. You know, I don't, Blake had got here before I did. Blake was working on his career long before, not long before, but a few years before I got here. And so he had started having some radio success. And we literally met at some event in Nashville and just started hanging out.

And then he had lived in Hickman County. And I was in Dixon. So we weren't that far apart. Both realized that we like hunting. I invited him on a hunting. trip on a trip that I was doing in Kansas. I'm sorry. Yeah, in Kansas.

And at that trip, we became like, we were buddies. I knew right then that I liked the guy. And we both kind of, like I said, he had already had a couple of songs on the radio. And then I started having some success at Broken Bow. And then we just stayed in. I mean, at one point, we were with each other all the time. Every time we could do something together, we would. And then he got divorced from Kat, and he and Miranda got married.

And I had known Miranda a little bit and really thought that Miranda and I had a decent relationship. And she used to tell her story about how she came to fanfare. And it was one of my early on, first two or three years of fanfare, when he still called it fanfare, you know. And she tells the story, and I remember her telling me that how she waited after the show to meet some of the artists and that I came out, and was the only one that came out afterwards and gave her an autograph. And so I thought, man, this is going to be awesome. You know, my buddy's marrying this girl who's turned into an artist of her own right and turning this, you know, it's great. But something happened when them two got married, and I don't know, she was no longer a Craig Morgan fan for some reason. reason, you know, I don't know.

But, you know, that's history, and here we are now. I remember when you were doing the Opry, Blake, when him, I think him and Gwen were playing from his ranch. I think, yeah. I was there. I've just, I've done 100, 100, opera shows in the past, you know, year. But was he setting you up? Were you setting him up?

Were you going back and forth? Always. Yeah. It's horrible. I will tell you, though, we, uh, when my son, died. A lot of my friends in this business came out there. And I had, man, I gained so much respect and admiration. I already loved all these people. But it's really weird. And Jerry was with me. It's weird when I know them and I love them. And I consider them friends. But when I got like

Trace Atkins and Blake Shelton, Jim Ed Brown, and John Colleen, these guys, show up at my son's funeral. And they stand in line with everyone else out there. It asked nothing. Didn't want to come in early? You know, it just, man, it just floored me. And when I'll never forget, we were, we were downstairs and Cici had come in and was talking. She sang at my son's funeral.

And, you know, I'm trying to, I don't know, have a sense of, I wanted to, to comprehend my people and them to know that I appreciate them being there. But I remember Blake coming in and we cried, you know, we cried together and he hugged me. And I felt such an embrace of friendship from him. And I knew, I knew then that there was nothing that Blake or I could do that would sever that friendship. It wouldn't happen. And I also at that moment became Gwen's biggest fan. I had met Gwen via FaceTime a few times when Blake and I were together

and he was like giddy, silly and love FaceTime and her. And we would lay there together and sit and talk to Gwen her on FaceTime, you know. And I really liked her, but I didn't really know her. But when he came in the room, I said, where's Gwen? And was she not able to come? He said, no, she's outside. she was being respectful and she did not want to come in until she was invited in. And I just, man, I thought, my Lord, you know, she came in and she too, like, cried and hugged my wife

and showed her such an embrace of friendship and kindness and warmth. And it just absolutely hammered me. And I've never experienced anything from her but that sense. You know, when we're at the award shows and he's like, let's get out of here for a few minutes. And we go out the bus and hang out. He's in such a beautiful place with her that I've never seen. And I love that. I love it.

Now, having said all that, I can text Blake on Monday, April the 1st, and it might be Monday, June 1st when I hear from him. He is the worst, man. And then I'll get nothing, a picture of him flipping me a bird or something, you know. But yeah, so we've been friends for a long time. I mean, he came out when I did RedNet Yacht Club. And I remember when we did RedNet Yacht Club, he had a huge hit. And even, you know, just to show you how weird this business is,

I remember talking to Blake, him going, man, I don't know if this is going to work. I don't know what's going to happen. I'm like, you got a big huge hit. Are you kidding? You know, and he's like, yeah, but you just don't know. And now he looks where he's at, you know? It's wonderful. Hey, it's Mike D.

And this week on Movie Mike's Movie Podcast, I shared my top five To Be Finds. These are movies you can watch for free at home. on the app to be on your phone on your tablet on your computer wherever you have it not a commercial i just wanted to share with you a service i found some really good movies on and you don't have to pay a dime you do have to watch some commercials but just a heads up there there's some good stuff on there so check out just a couple of my picks and be sure to check out the full episode of movie mics movie podcast to hear my top five at number two on the toby list is below starring johnny debt penelope Cruz. I remember watching this movie way too young because it came out in 2001. I was 10 years old.

I remember the DVD for Blow. It was like a silver case with Johnny Depp laying down, Penelope Cruz laying down like on top of them resting her hand on his stomach. And I didn't know what Blow even meant before watching this movie as a kid. It's about cocaine. And Johnny Depp plays a character named George Young, who is most famous for being. being Pablo Escobar's right-hand man. And I thought this was the coolest movie growing up because it's all about how he goes from being a poor kid. His parents are struggling financially

and that leads them to fighting with each other. His dad is played by Ray Leota. And a fantastic thing that this movie does is create a really great backstory really quickly by showing you his life as a kid. But even before you get to that, it starts out kind of telling you how it's going to end it is johnny dep as an adult telling you his inmate number and then you flash back to him getting started in the drug business but it all

goes back to him as a kid hearing his parents argue and thinking i don't want to be like that i got to make something on myself i got to leave here and find out how to find my place in the world how to make money because i don't want to be broke like them and what does he do we start selling weed in California and selling weed is a gateway drug for him to selling cocaine and he is really good at it but there are a lot of problems that come from being a drug dealer so while it does focus a lot on that story of how he rose to power how at one point in the late 70s to early 80s if you or anybody you know did cocaine in that time period there was an 80% chance that it came from him and He made about $100 million working with the cartel.

And yes, on the surface, it is a story about that, just cocaine, drug dealing, all the downfalls of that. But at the root of this story that I felt rewatching him, I felt the true emotion of somebody who just didn't want to repeat history. And you very much connect with that aspect of his life. And Ray Leota, RIP, did a fantastic job as his dad. His dad just wanted the best for him and wanted him to have a good life and was always supportive of his son. No matter what he did, no matter how many times he ended up in jail, even when he was inviting him to their house and he knew that this was all a product of him selling drugs and being a criminal. He was always supportive of his son. His mom not so much.

But it was Johnny Depp's character, just trying not to relive that history. and this movie has one of the saddest endings that punches you in the gut in a very unique way because it is not your typical sad ending, but when you really think about all he went through in this movie, all he wanted in life, the things that made him happy, it is so sad. If I had a heart that wasn't made a stone, I'd probably cry while rewatching this movie. But Blow was a fantastic movie. There is nothing bad that I would take out of it. There's nothing I would change. And it holds up. I loved it when I was 10. I love it now that I'm 33. I give blow a five out of five.

And at number one in my top five to be finds is a movie called The Founder. It is the true story of Ray Croc played by Michael Keaton. Started out as a struggling salesman from Illinois and went on to be who we know as the founder of McDonald's. Yes, McDonald's, the Golden Archers, and it's all about how he did it. And even though he is credited being the founder, oh, that is not the whole story. Because I'll just read from the plot synopsis because it is history. You could Google it and find out exactly what happened.

And from my research on this story, overall, this movie is pretty accurate. They changed a couple details here and there, but nothing major. Because that is why sometimes I don't watch these biographical dramas because they change things so much that it's like, hey, that's not even what happened. And I thought this movie was kind of going to focus so much on how revolutionary McDonald's was and how novel it was. But it really focuses more on, oh, this seat, the cruel nature of business, the backstabbing, the drama that comes with that, the money that comes with that. And it led me to feel a different way about McDonald's. Not in a bad way.

I don't think McDonald's is at any fault in this movie. It doesn't make the franchise itself. look bad. It just changed exactly how I view of business. And it just happens to be through the vehicle of McDonald's. Ray meets the actual McDonald's brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald's, who are running a burger operation in Southern California back in the 1950s. And the reason I even discovered this movie and decided I want to watch it and found it on 2B is I actually saw a clip of it on TikTok that was, I was like, where is this even from? But it's Michael Keaton going up to the first McDonald's and being so fascinated on how fast they make is food.

And what the McDonald's brothers did is they developed something called the Speedy System. They are really the ones who created fast food because they wanted to set themselves apart from all the other restaurants, which in the 50s, it was either had to go in, sit down and order, but there were a lot of downfalls with that. They wanted to take all of those factors out that you would just walk up, order your food, and within seconds they could hand it to you, which is exactly what happens. And a clip I saw on TikTok, it is Michael Keaton going up, ordering a burger, ordering a fries, and ordering a drink, and then being so shocked when they hand it to him. And they're like, here you go.

And he's like, well, where do I, where do I eat it? And they're like, wherever you want. Where's the plates? Where's the silverware? Well, you just eat it out of the wrapper and then you throw it away. that to us now is just so normal, has been a part of our lives forever. But to see that showcased in the founder

where people didn't know how to consume fast food was what sucked me into this movie. And that happens pretty early on. So this movie will give you a much different perspective on McDonald's. Again, not really in a bad way. You'll just kind of think of like, oh, that is how they operate. That is what they do. And it seems so obvious,

but it's something you don't really think about because you go there just trying to get a Big Mac or getting some jig and nuggets. Or frustrated because the ice cream machine is never working. They don't address that in this movie, by the way. But for the founder, I would easily give it a 4.5 out of five. I love finding hidden gems like that. A win is a win.

A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever have.

imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.

It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future.

This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha, Landrum Pierre as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they see all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving.

If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. We're going to do it live. We are the one, two, three, so losers.

What up, everybody? I am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports. I give you the sports facts. My sports opinions because I'm pretty much a sports genius. Y'all, it's Sisson. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with Beazer, my wife. We do have a farm. It's beautiful. A lot of acreage.

No animals. A lot of crops, hopefully soon. Corn, pumpkins, rye, I believe, maybe a little fescue. To be determined. Over to you, Coach. And here's a clip from this week's episode of the sore losers. Speaking of kids, Ray, you were freestyle in some country rap there. That was actually pretty good.

You kind of reminded me of my friend Big Smow. Check it out. I've got an album out now. Big smoke. Oh, we kicking it in the country. Yeah. So yesterday I'm in watching some TV and baby box comes in and goes, dad, dad. And I'm like, what?

And he goes, one of my brothers missed the toilet. They miss the potty. And I'm like, what do you mean? And he's like, there's pee all over the ground. I'm like, well, I don't know. Boys, come here, boys. Hey, who, which one of you guys missed the potty? toilet.

Who? Not me. Not me. Not me. It wasn't me. It wasn't me. No one taking responsibility, right? No one.

It carries over into the business world. So, baby box looks at him and goes, guys, let's go in the bathroom. Maybe you'll recognize it. Wait, who's dribble? He thinks they're going to recognize their pee. And then admit to it. He looks at them and he goes, he goes, brothers, let's go. Let's go.

it, maybe you'll recognize it. And it was just like a such a lap out loud moment because he was really thinking, okay, if we go in the bathroom, they'll recognize it. Oh, that's their pee. Like their pee looks any different than his pee and his pee looks different than my pee. Hilarious dad moment. And I just wanted to share it with you because I thought it was so fun. What he doesn't realize is all of pee looks same.

From homeless to billionaire, all got a pee. Everybody pee's the same. It's either yellow or it's white. I mean, either you're really hydrated or you're dehydred. It's one of the two. But now it's if you got it's neon, that means you're drinking your electrolyte, so it's kind of counterintuitive. Really? Yeah, if it's a good color like that, that means you're hydrated and you've also got the good stuff.

I thought if it was white, that means you're hydrated. I mean, white just means you drink a crap load of water. Like, slow it down. You're drinking, whatever you're doing, beer, wine, water, ice tea, it's too much. Tone it down. Oh, okay. But, I mean, when you wake up after a night of drink, and that's the gross color. Yeah, that's when it's really dark.

That's when I... Yeah, guys, I'm going to tone it down a little bit. I need to find some water or something because what I just saw, I'm not a scientist. I'm not a urologist, but wasn't good. All right. I'm going to go find some PD light. Oh, you'll see you in a minute. I mean, they do like it when they go to the doctor and they get to pee in the cup.

I think that's the coolest thing, too. Never understood that because the cuff never big enough. Well, that's the one thing We went the other day Because my baby box two Was saying it hurt when he peed And so I thought maybe Oh, he's got an infection of some sort

So we go to the doctor And the doctor's like All right, you're going to have to go peeing a cup He goes, I get to pee in a cup I get to pee in a cup And we go in the bathroom And I'm holding the cup there And then I'm like

And I pull it away and he goes Dad, it's not all the way full I'm like, dude he doesn't need the whole thing full And he goes but I still got more pee I'm like well you can pee in the toilet You don't have to stop They had one there for you. Yeah, they provide a cup. You don't bring it home. You don't pee on the toilet.

Well, what the hell do you think? You think they just, you don't have a toilet? Was it in the doctor's office or you guys went in the bathroom together? Well, they give us the cup and then they go into the bathroom and then, yeah. We only do our physicals once a year. And let's be real, half the times they've come here to our office. I got to be honest. I got to get my physical today. Dude, I missed those times. They'd roll in. We thought it was all just ass grabbing and butt slaps. But now we got to go find a doctor, You do a physical, get like 10 different blood tests. What happened when they'd come into our conference room

and they'd do it on a table that you used to sit next to Mark next to? And then the following day, you're testing your blood and peeing in a cup. Yeah, today I have to go. I have to pee in the cup probably. I have to get my balls grabbed and cough. And I figure they're going to draw my blood. I don't know what all they're going to do it if it's going. Are you feeling okay?

Yeah, good. You're tired? Yeah. Anything else? Any other health concerns? No, cool. And then I guess I pass the test. But the key is, guys, this is too much inside baseball, but let's be real.

You're on the open road. Oh, we did get a message, dude. Hold on. Who gives a hell? Okay. So the physical thing, you've got to actually be careful because, dude, I went to a Walgreens and you do all this testing, and then it ended up not even translating over to our health insurance because the Walgreens didn't do my height and weight.

So then I had to hit up our friend Tracy, and I go, hey, Tracy, you're a doctor, right? And she goes, yeah. I said, this Walgreens said they can't officially do my weight. and my company requires it. So can I just come over and you weigh me? And she's like, is this a joke? Are you serious? And I'm like, yeah.

And then I need you to just sign it. And she goes, okay, and it worked. But you've got to make sure that they'll do all that stuff on the form because I had to go to three different offices, $200 all to get an insurance benefit that's probably not even $300. You're probably wasting more money going to get it than you are saving because I did love it. When they came to the office, they prick your finger, boom, boom, in and out in five minutes. It was so fast. Dude, is this my...

Yo! Is that mic on? Dude, this thing sucks. Yo. Yo. Yo. I don't know. Dude, I swear a kiddie put it on a weird setting.

It does. It sounds weird. Thanks for all the shoutouts, Ray. I'm an OTR trucker, but I do drive trucks quite often for the oil field. I'll hit the air horn for you. That's from Keith Die. Oh, and I was supposed to give a shout out. If we're doing that, I didn't know where this is a birthday line.

Here's another one. Loading up the big rig and listening to the pot on the road. Thanks for the end. entertainment, boys. It's Billy Minnow. Nailed it. Jacob Kirby on Instagram. He goes, Hey, coach. How hard is it to get a shout out on the pod? Done. Over to you, man. Man, we're just thankful for the listeners. I mean, it's Thanksgiving week, and I mean, the holidays are here. Ray's going to Vegas. I'll be stuck at my house doing nothing in the freezing ass cold. But yeah, so happy Thanksgiving. We are thankful for you. We're thankful you're coming to the convention.

We're thankful you listen. And we're going to be thankful as you sit around your Thanksgiving dinner and you tell at least one person and you're a family, your extended family. Hey, you should check out the sore losers. We'd really appreciate it, man. Hey, Uncle Bill, I love you, man. Never told you that before. Hey, Bill, I know something that you're really going to like. It's these two idiots.

They do this podcast. It's not that organized. It's not very good. Sometimes they don't think their mics are working. Sometimes their headphones aren't working. But I think it'd really bring us closer together, Bill, if you listen to that, we call each other. ones that we can talk about the pod. Yeah, I listened the other day, and I think my laugh track has been a little loud,

so I'm trying to realize what level it needs to be at. Is that to inside baseball? Yes, yes, it is. But I don't want to blow people's ear out because when I had it on the, my nephew calls it the monster truck, I was in the monster truck dude, and I had the base on and all that. That laugh track was loud. If you were next to me, you probably thought I killed somebody. It was alarmingly knee-jerk loud.

So now I'm going to just ride it down here. You know, like, just right here. That seems like that's what I'm saying. But dude, I don't know, man. Acoustics, audible levels. I ain't no dolphin, man. They got it done sonar on. What are we talking about, man?

Heyo! Oh my God. We're going to take a break. It's Thanksgiving week. So it's a very special episode of Take This Personally. I'm bringing on my parents, mom and dad, aka Terry and Jeanette. Hi, Mom and Dad.

Hi, Morgan. I'm Morgan. Well, I want to talk to you guys as being my parents and what it was like with me as a child, but not only that as you guys raised four daughters. And I often get asked you why I have two middle names. Do you guys have the logic behind the two middle names? Oh. Well, you don't have the name I wanted to give you, so I lost out on that too.

On all of them, I thought you had some of them. When your older sister Taylor was born, I wanted to use the middle name of Elizabeth, because that's my grandmother's name. And I wanted to pass that name down. We had not passed down any of the family names yet. And so I wanted to name her. We wanted the first name of Taylor. And so it became Taylor Elizabeth.

Well, Elizabeth Taylor was still, you know, someone everyone was familiar with at that point in time. And I was like, I can't do that. It sounds like it's backwards for Elizabeth Taylor. So I love the name Lee, spelled L-E-I-G-H. So we decided to name her Taylor Lee, Elizabeth, to separate them. And so then when you came along and you were a girl, we had decided on Morgan, if you were a girl,

but we had not decided on the middle name. And I wanted it to be Lane, and Dad wanted it to be Nicole. And so we decided, since Taylor had two middle names, that you should have two middle names, so it became Morgan Lane, Nicole. And neither one of those were the names you wanted, Dad? Well, like I said, I wanted to be Nicole.

However, we did talk at one time and naming you Shat Naya because I was a big Shatnaia Twain fan way back when I told your mom and she just cranged and I, where did that come from? But so I didn't win out either. Mom, you didn't know who Shania Twain was? Yeah, but she was just coming on the scene, I think,

and she wasn't, not like everybody did, and so it was kind of an unusual name. So, yeah. But I didn't mention it. I tried. Well, I mean, and that ended up being one of my favorite country artists of all time. And the first concert ever that you, country concert that you went to. Yeah. I do still remember my first concert very well because I touched an I-twain's hand and she had her leopard outfit on.

That was a big deal. And you were never going to wash your hand again. You guys went through some times with some of my, my ex-boyfriends in particular. Some of them were super crazy. So was there a period there where you're like, dang, we really hope she stops dating? Well, I can tell you, the one time that I had was woke up in the middle of night and somebody was driving through the front lawn trying to tear up all the grass and I run out the front door in my underwear trying to chase him down and got drugged down the street. Yeah. To pick their instance and had strawberries all over my body. That was probably one of the worst incidents. Yeah, he was definitely crazy and this kid was.

And so, yeah, but looking back now, Dad's reaction wasn't clearly probably the right choice, but high school antics from some of these boys, we just laugh about, I mean, from them putting what in our pool, the lobster in our lobsters in our pool, to saran wrapping our pool furniture, to pitchforking the yards. Oh, yeah, I'm thinking of my,

like Christmas moose and mounting them on top of each other. So you've had very, very interesting friends that think they're quite comical. We've only had the one really, really bad, immature, bad apple kind of situation where he tried to destroy our front yard. Yeah, and if you know my dad, he is very particular about his lawn.

So I don't know if it was as much that somebody was like creeping in our house as much as he was really mad, somebody was tearing up his yard. I think it was first the yard and then the realization that that's who it was. Yeah. It really was the icing on top. And then the third was,

he's lucky he didn't lose an arm in that whole thing. But yeah, he was so angry and just kind of a knee-jerk reaction out of being awakened from bed with that sound in our front yard. So, yeah, there have definitely been times, but excluding that one, we probably wrote most of them off, at least now at the stage in our life,

I can say, we wrote most of them off as being just high school kids and having fun. For the most part, we knew so many of your friends. I mean, they were at our house. at the pool, you know, and good kids. And so we look back now and kind of chuckle about it. So except for the one. A win is a win.

A win is a win. I don't care what I'm 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.

leap into a business, a paycheck, and a life they are proud of. center of our happiness or our regrets is whether or not we're taking action on the things that matter to us. They're not selfish.

I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. Hi, Dad! And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen and she says, I have some cookies and milk. This is a badass convict. Right. Just finished five years. I'm going to have cookies and milk at him all. Yeah.

We share stories and scientific insights to help us all of the podcast. 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. This is why I'm very excited to talk to you because you are so confident in standing in your beliefs. And I am a person who I just like want everyone in the whole world to be happy. It's the point where it is debilitating and it has like rocked my nervous system for so long because everybody's going to disagree. Then I'm the kind of person where I'm like, okay, I can look at a situation and I can see a million different ways things could go down.

And it's like when Tom Brady did his acceptance speech to come back into the NFL or whatever, he did some long, beautiful, like, quote about basically, maybe it'll be good, maybe it'll be bad. So, like, I never know if things are going to be good or bad. And I'm always so worried that I'm going to pick the wrong decision, even when I'm trying to make the right decision, because I'm like, well, how is it going to go? And so, like, I have a hard time making decisions. Of course, no one knows how the future is going to play out. But you and your gut have always known how to stand up for what you believe in.

No matter what that is, that is just such an incredible skill. Where did that come from and how do you handle people who so like intensely disagree with you coming at you? Like how did you get that kind of confidence to be able to take such a stand? Well, first I would say I'm very opinionated. So it's easy when you have pretty definitive opinions. It's easy to stand by them. But I do this for a living. So when I walk into a room, I don't have to worry about offending people because just by the nature of me being myself, they know who I am.

And they're either going to love me or they're going to hate me. not many people are in the middle on me. And that's just on my political opinions. They might like me personally. They might disagree with me politically or professionally. It doesn't matter. But they have an opinion of me. And that's okay.

I would rather polarize people than be somebody who is afraid of offending people. And I don't go out of my way to offend people, by the way. I'm not one of those people that wants to antagonize people. I'm not somebody who walks around in a mega hat in East Nashville or in L.A. just to simply cause chaos. and to upset people. I'm not that way. I'm really not. But I do have opinions and beliefs, and I will stand by them because I always say to people, why are you so worried about offending people who have absolutely zero problem offending you? And I think that's where the conversation

needs to start is because people who are more conservative in nature, they often don't want to rock the boat. But they're around people who have zero problem rocking the boat. And I admire the left for their ability to be proud of what they believe in. The right is catching up. We've caught up a lot in the last few weeks, but there's more work to be done. Growing up, you were in debate. I've always been a nerd. I've always been into public speaking. I've always been in debate and student government and journalism and then those kind of things. I've always been opinionated. It's part of being an only child, I have an only child. I am an only child. How was it being an only child? Because I'm always worried my daughter is going to be like, oh, I wish had a sibling. I miss not having

sisters or brothers. Yeah, not for one day of my life. Have I ever wished I had a sibling? Not one day. Not one day. And my husband has a half sister and she's got a bunch of kids. But I always say to him, like, for me, it's so easy. Holidays are coming up. I don't have to battle with anybody about here's what we're doing. Here's where we're going. Here's what we're eating.

It's like, no, it's my mom and dad and I. And we are our own little posse, now including my husband. And it makes life so much easier. I also think it fosters a really big sense of independence when you're an only child because you have to. You have to make your own entertainment. You spend a lot of time talking to adults. You cultivate your own voice just by way.

of being a child talking mostly to adults. So I wouldn't worry about it one bit about having an only child because you're probably raising somebody who's going to be very fiercely independent. And I just come from the school of thought that that's a good thing. So siblings are great, but when you're an only child, I say embrace it. And if I have kids, which we hope to have kids, I really only want one. Like I want to have an only child. So you loved it that much?

I did. Yeah. No, I think it's a great thing to be an only child. Big families are great. that come from big families. They love being from a big family. But I have not one day said, oh, boy, I wish I had a brother or a sister. No, not one day. That's amazing. Okay, tell me about your childhood. What was magical about it? I grew up in South Dakota. That's the most beautiful place. So it is a beautiful place. And it's a place to me where, you know, we obviously don't live in South

Dakota anymore. My whole family still does. But I was born with a belief system and a way of life that I think a lot of other people in media maybe don't have. So I come from a different perspective in that way. And what is that way? Well, for me, it's just growing up around really hardworking blue-collar people, ranchers, farmers, people who, you know, make a modest living, but they're very proud in what they do. They're very neighborly. It's just a different sense of community than when you grow up in a bigger city or in a bigger state. So I bring that with me through everything that I do and everywhere that I live. And I think that's why my voice for a lot of people is really authentic, because they can relate to somebody who maybe grows up in a place or part of the country that doesn't

get a lot of attention generally. Okay. And so that fully shaped who you are and it got you on your path and you've never lost it. Like you never got lost in the midst of like going to the big cities and being on the news. Like you stay grounded and rooted this whole time. Because I remember where I come from and that's very important to me remembering where I come from. And I think a lot of people lose that when they get into media and then they only talk to people that are in media. Also another reason I live in Nashville though. Nashville's a big city compared to where I'm from. Tennessee is a big state compared to the state that I'm from. But it's still very small town. It's still very

community oriented in Tennessee. And that's why I gravitated here of all the places I've lived. That's why we're going to stay here because Tennessee is like South Dakota in that way. And it's a great place to be. And red free states are just great places to be. I mean, I wouldn't recommend living in a blue state right now, maybe even just for tax purposes alone. But red states still have community and family. And I think that's really important for raising a family, being in a family in a profession that's polarizing and in the public spotlight all the time, it's good to be in Tennessee.
