Starting point is 00:03:10 I think talk about strategy and sales and Oh, it's not. And see how we're doing. It's not a bad one. Probably five more people. It's not, but it's really, you're just making a joke.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Yeah, I'm just kidding. Yeah, you know, not a funny joke. Not a funny one. I'm often, I'm often for jokes.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Yeah. Yeah, it's a bad one. That one didn't hit, huh? No, no, no. Last time. He's laughing, though.
Starting point is 00:03:30 He likes it. If it happens, it happens, it happens his life. So, yeah, I guess he'll report to us what's happened. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:36 But yeah, everybody in the building has to go to one of those. All right, let's go around the room. Nah, I don't know. Mine's so light. Okay. All right, I'm, we build trust.
Starting point is 00:03:50 This is more for you and Eddie and lunchbox. I think maybe Morgan, I don't know. Y'all like pickles, right? Love pickles. Big pickle guy. Love a pickle. Put it in a hole. I don't love pickles.
Starting point is 00:04:03 And why? Because, you know. No, it wasn't too many. I had one of the big ones. when I was in the pep squad. It was too big. And for whatever reason, it made me sick. And when we were driving home,
Starting point is 00:04:15 my mom had to pull over and I got sick on the side of the road. And I was just not into pickles. However, I will say I had some dill flavored chips the other day. Those are good? So good. Oh, you can do those? I can do a dill flavored chip, yeah. Growth.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Try a pickle. Hey, can we get a pickle next week? I think Amy can eat one in the studio and not be sick by it. Come on, Amy. But I don't want to eat it. You could do it. I know, but we never want to grow because growth is uncomfortable. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:43 But you don't, like you don't want to eat mayonnaise, so I'm not going to make you eat mayonnaise. I have, it's tough to admit this. What? Dabbled in aoli. Oh, that's mayo based. Is it? Isn't it? With a little garlic?
Starting point is 00:04:57 I really don't know because I didn't know what aioly was. All I know is anything that's white that doesn't have dairy in it. I'll try because I'm looking for any flavor. I'm looking for any dip. So I'm like aoli Hmm Not for me I don't think Let me give it a try
Starting point is 00:05:12 And I think there's some like mayo elements to it Mike hit me We got mayonnaise garlic and lemon juice If I can do aoli you can do a pickle Okay I'll give it a try We believe in you Amy What kind of pickle?
Starting point is 00:05:25 A big fat Vlasic Okay well so So here's that a thing still Here's my story Hey Scobe can we get a big fat Vlasic On like Tuesday or Wednesday's show next week And have Amy eat a pickle Oh, I can get you a fat pickle. Yeah, right now.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Okay. We're not even the same room. There's two jokes. Scoop is over two today. No, I'm saying, I'm saying, grab a pickle right now. Is Amy there in the building?
Starting point is 00:05:49 I know, but she, so we're just going to hold it for three to four days. Yeah, yeah. I mean, pickles don't go bad. They're in jars. They last for a long period. Oh, for two. Hey, he wasn't joking.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Okay. I'm just being serious. I don't think he was working on his computer is what I think was happening. Amy, go ahead. So Smoothie King is partnering with Grillo's Pickles for a limited edition pickle smoothie. I bet you it's probably good even though it seems disgusting.
Starting point is 00:06:15 It blends Grillo's pickles with ingredients like bananas, kale, and coconut water. And it seems too green for me. My wife likes green smoothies. I hate green smoothies because there's not enough fruit. I like my stuff sweet. But I bet you if you're a green smoothie person, that's pretty good. Cale though makes it green. The bananas will help balance it out.
Starting point is 00:06:37 In the coconut water. I need berries. No, coconut water doesn't balance. It just hydrates. No, it's sweet. No, it's sweet. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:06:45 It is. Pepsi. Coconut water is not sweet. Coconut water is not sweet. I drink coconut water on the reg. It ain't that sweet. I had coconut water this morning. Maybe it's because your taste buds are so green that it's sweeter than what you normally have.
Starting point is 00:06:58 No, I just think coconut water has a sweetness to it. It also has sugar. Google, Mike. How many grams of sugar are coconut water? Natural sugar from the coconut water. Exactly. Yeah. We'll have to agree to disagree. We shall. So they're doing a pickle smoothie? Yeah. So if you're into pickles, then you might want to try this smoothie king collab. And what did y'all put on your pickle snow cones?
Starting point is 00:07:23 Oh, that was a strawberry snow cone. With pickle juice and little pickles in it. No, but you would put that tahine or. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, pepper. Yeah. Chili powder. So I bet with this, like a little chili powder in there. You got to do the strawberry, though, if you're going to do chili powder with the pickle. Otherwise you just, you just, drinking a green smoothie with pickle. But that snow cone you could do it with any flavor. For us, it was the strawberry. But I think that was their main. Was it?
Starting point is 00:07:45 That was their base. Their base, because I would have never tried that. It's so good, man. It didn't sound good, but it was so good. It was so good. See, that was easy, fun story. Good for you. Lighthearted.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Good times. Good times. Because I had options. I know. I bet you did. I know. Lunchbox. Yeah, we're back.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Cardi B is back. He's back on his beat, guys. Yeah, there was a video of her arguing with her baby daddy, Stefan Diggs outside of a coffee shop in Maryland. She was heard cursing at him, yelling. And she responded and said, look, I sometimes forget I'm famous. And I was just hangary. So it got a little bit blown out of proportion. Everybody relax.
Starting point is 00:08:30 They're not getting back together. They were just, you know, I guess meeting up, talking about kid. I don't know. Maybe he was seeing the kid. But she said, look, I was hangary. Have you never yelled at your baby dad? when you're hangary? I have not.
Starting point is 00:08:41 I have not. Especially not in public. Yeah. There's no way she forget she's famous. I bet you do sometimes. I bet you don't. Really? I am not famous.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I'm slightly known and I am always aware that anything I do in public could be recorded and I could be highlighted as the idiot I am if I idiot in public. Yeah. I said it's made no sense, but you get it. I get what you're smart.
Starting point is 00:09:03 You think about that stuff. People that kind of just like live their life, like whatever. But she's really, famous, wildly famous, where everywhere she goes, people look. That doesn't happen to me. People look sometimes and they'll go look at, oh,
Starting point is 00:09:17 who is? Do I know him? Or they'll be like, hey, I'm a fan or they'll record, but it's not like that. Like, everywhere she goes, she's probably reminded how famous she is. I don't believe that. I think she probably got in a fight but didn't care. But if you're that famous, you know. And then how mad to be yelling at a coffee shop? Publicly, I know. But I guess you're probably not meeting them
Starting point is 00:09:38 if it's not in public, if you have a bad relationship, a strained relationship based on what had happened with them at the Super Bowl. Remember that crap? Yeah. Well, welcome back, Cardi B. Yeah, good to see her. Welcome back to the fold. Eddie.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Man, this is crazy. So this is back to my hometown, McCall in Texas. A couple, a married couple got arrested for throwing a party for their kids after prom. There must have been like 30 kids there and they were serving. alcohol, cops got called by a neighbor, said that you might want to check this house out. Looks like minors are drinking. Cops show up. The parents are there.
Starting point is 00:10:16 The parents are the ones that bought all the alcohol. So, 22 minors got MIPs. Is that what that is? Minor in possession. And then the parents got arrested. I'm torn. Can't do that by law. If kids are abs... Excuse me. I think I'm drunk this morning.
Starting point is 00:10:35 If kids are absolutely going to drink, would you rather them drink in an area that has physical boundaries, they cannot drive with people overseeing the kids? That's the question, right? Illegally, no. But unless they're so loud, unless they're out in the yard,
Starting point is 00:10:56 peeing or breaking stuff, why would you call and tell? Maybe they were being disruptive. Maybe. But like if a neighborhood's normally quiet and then there's just a rager going on, you're going to call the cops regardless. If it wasn't Super Rager and you knew what was going on,
Starting point is 00:11:11 I would hope the neighbors wouldn't call because I feel like that's a responsible parent. How old were the kids? They were in high school. Man, I just feel like that's a responsible parent because those kids are going to drink anyway. Can we agree to that? They're going to go somewhere and drink. Yeah, but this has been a question for parents. I agree.
Starting point is 00:11:26 It's old as time. I'm not right. I'm not saying I'm right. A lot of parents juggle this. Well, they're going to do it anyway and it's like, I don't know. Did your parents, Amy, like ever allow you guys to drink at the house? My dad, yes. One of them. My mom, no. Because like my parents didn't, but there were so many parents that were cool with it. Oh, yeah, so many. Like, I can name, I can name the houses right now. I remember our party after prom was at somebody's house. Their parents were there. We all got wasted. It was awesome. Did anybody drive away?
Starting point is 00:11:57 No. Did we all stay there? Was it part of the deal that you could drink if you stayed in? So some parents would collect keys and would be really strict about it. And then others did not. So I would like to say the parents that are only wanting to be cool, I don't co-sign that. The parents that are going, I'm going to make a decision based on my children and what I know about them and their friends. They're going to find a way to drink anyway. So we're going to do it. There are physical boundaries.
Starting point is 00:12:26 You cannot walk out of these boundaries. I have your keys. You do it. We'll protect you. I don't mind that. And this is for somebody who's never drank. I feel like we're mitigating some of the death risk for kids and we're mitigating some of the death risk for people
Starting point is 00:12:40 that are out driving on the road that don't know their drunk kids driving at them that could crash into them. Right. I mean, these days, a lot of parents, though, I mean, I don't know. I'm like Eddie where I know there were so many houses that allowed that when I was in high school. But now with lawsuits... No way.
Starting point is 00:12:54 It's very different. Like, which maybe they were happening back then, I don't know, or they just ramped up. But like, it's scary. to even want to be the house that's trying to be responsible. Yeah. Because if one accident goes wrong, so maybe you take their keys, but is there, do you have a body of water?
Starting point is 00:13:13 Do you have a, like, on your property? Because some people have ranches or farms and they've got lakes, or they have a pool or they have. Don't let us. I agree. What you're saying makes a lot of sense. But an accident happens and then you're held liable. I've just heard of horror stories of like,
Starting point is 00:13:27 oh, man, they were trying to give the kids a safe place to hang. And then the kid fell in the water and then died. and then now the parents are in a lawsuit. I would think that is very, very, very rare. Very rare, but it's just something you have to consider if you're going to be the host of the event like that. I just say it's not worth being the host ever. But what about if your kids went to a thing
Starting point is 00:13:50 where a parent was locking them in and they were drinking? You also can say no. Do you have any bodies of water? I'm not right on this. I just feel like that's my feeling. I would rather, again, I'll use the word mitigate, the risk of anybody dying or killing somebody because kids are going to do stupid things regardless
Starting point is 00:14:10 because they're kids. And you can hold a blind eye to it, but just because you're going, don't see it, probably not happening, does not mean it's not happening. When I think back on the houses that it did allow it and the parents, it's like 50-50 of like some of the kids, it made them really responsible with alcohol.
Starting point is 00:14:31 And like they didn't see it as this crazy deal, when they went off to college, they weren't wild and crazy about it. Because their parents just kind of low-key, like, allowed them to have a cocktail at dinner or... European culture, way less alcoholism, way less strong driving. If you're 18 with your parents and you go, yes, to another country or somewhere you can order a drink at 18. So you let them try sips of things,
Starting point is 00:14:54 and it's not just this taboo situation. But then when I think of some of the other kids, like, they were pretty messed up. They're still going hard. Those are the houses where maybe the parents just didn't really care and they were drinking too. And alcohol was problematic in their family. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, and it's sort of 50-50.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Like some of those kids, like I said, no problem with alcohol, totally handled it well. And it was probably good for them that it was integrated into their life the way it was. And then others are a hot mess. There's also a genetic element. That's what I mean. In that as well. So it doesn't matter really what the parent situation is. Even if everything was controlled in a perfect environment, they're still probably going to have
Starting point is 00:15:32 trouble with it. That's what I mean. When I'm thinking back on those kids and how they turned out, I'm like, well, wait a second, their parents were literally like drinking with us, you know, and a little not as responsible. And they probably themselves had an issue and then their kids passed on to their kids. I don't co-sign the cool parents that just want to hang and let the kids drink with them. Yeah. That's not for me. I'm saying I would be okay with a safe space. If you felt there was going to be drinking to eliminate the risk of them killing somebody or somebody. or killing themselves because if they're leaving
Starting point is 00:16:05 and drinking and driving, I'm okay with that. It'd be hard for me to say no to that because I feel like that it's a bit of a compromise. It's illegal. So I'd like to also say that. Yes, that's the main thing.
Starting point is 00:16:18 It's illegal. All right, let's see. That was lunchboxes. Have we done Eddie? That was me. You guys always get, everybody starts talking and I forget who does what.
Starting point is 00:16:28 So forgive me. Lunchbox at Cardi B. That's right. Yeah. Amy, I got a couple. This one is for you. Okay. It's about antivirus.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Al Roker said on the today show that the CDC has travelers returning from his flight to voluntary test for hantavirus after flying home from his daughter's wedding. Yeah? Why is this for me? Well, you're obsessed with the hantavirus? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'm like, well. And if they're asking random people to voluntarily test. Well, so then if they do, did they have to go to the, where they have to, what's the confinement place?
Starting point is 00:17:06 The quarantine place? Only if it's positive. The national quarantine unit. Only if it's positive. Where was this party? Like, where are they coming from? A wedding. Wedding.
Starting point is 00:17:14 In France. Oh, France. Okay. So that's what I've been intrigued by is, I think we're going to be okay. But like the people that are quarantined, I can't decide if it's like awesome for them or not. I mean, I'm sure it's a little scary, but. No, none, none awesome. Oh.
Starting point is 00:17:28 I mean, when I was. quarantine of COVID. That's kind of fun, dude. That's because that was early. You knew you weren't going to die. And I was in my bedroom. I can think of 10 moms right now that would be like a national quarantine unit. I get to stay in my room for how many days. And there's a, there's a Peloton bike, a TV. If you have a hauntavirus, you're going to die most likely. 50%. Okay, then I'm not playing that. Some of the people quarantined, I guess they don't know if they. Yeah. And if you do, it pops positive when you're quarantining. Okay, you're right. I get it. They risk of death.
Starting point is 00:17:56 I know. I don't want to make a lot of a serious situation. I'm just saying. You just said, ride a Peloton. Well, the guy I saw in Corteen, Jake, he has a stationary bike in his room. That sounds fun. It's pretty good, yeah. You make a good point.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Symptoms. Symptoms. It's a respiratory. Respiratory. Oh, gosh. Lungs filled with water. Oh, with water. Die.
Starting point is 00:18:16 He's like you're drowning. There's other. Yes, there's other symptoms with it. But if there are people, are there people that survive it? Yes. I think it's like a 30 to 50% was what I've read.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Exactly. Yeah. Is it 30? 30 to 50%? What's the 30, death or live? No, death. It's all death. 30 to 50.
Starting point is 00:18:34 But there's a 3 in 10 chance. Hey, Eddie. No, no, we're not playing this. What are you going to roll a dice? Are you drawing a pizza? No, pick a number. Out of what? I'm going to write three numbers down.
Starting point is 00:18:47 And you said out of 30, so out of 10? So all you have to do is guess one number. But if you, there's three of these here. If you hit one of the numbers, you die. Any number. One number, one through 10. Go. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:18:58 But if you pick one to the three I have here, you died. It's 30%. Okay. So I just get one shot. One shot. Eight. You lived. Yes.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Did you see my numbers? Uh-huh. Lunchbox pick a number. Eight. That's smart. That's the exact one to do. That's right. You're so smart.
Starting point is 00:19:16 That's smart. I wouldn't have done that. I wouldn't have done that. Not going to lie. Good job. My numbers were two, six and one. Oh, wow. My second would have been three.
Starting point is 00:19:25 But you don't want to have to do that. Right. No. Three and six chance. It's not fun. Our three and ten chance. Um, okay. So that was the first.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Another story is nearly half of Americans are lacking fun in their lives. Is there a fun drought in your life? Um, I could probably use a little more fun. Oh, that's sad. It is sad, but I mean, it's real though, dude. It's real. I could use more fun. I don't really do anything fun.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Yeah, I could use a little more fun. Like I'm, I enjoy some things that I do. Like, I enjoy my job, but it's not fun. It's more fun than other jobs. Yeah, I don't hate it. I enjoy my job, but I don't go, whoa, this is gonna be, I can't wait. It's gonna be crazy fun.
Starting point is 00:20:10 I could use a little more fun. Right now, weird time, baby, but I'm just not a fun guy anyway. Yeah, I'm trying to think of like, there's anything on my calendar where I'm like, cannot wait for that. Don't have it yet. Nope.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Yeah, I don't either. Like, I don't even know what I'm due for vacation. Same. And it's stressing me out. Because I don't want another year to go by where I just don't do anything. What are you going to say? And you have what?
Starting point is 00:20:34 Same. I have a baby. Oh, you have a baby. So we're just kind of like, well, we don't know. Like,
Starting point is 00:20:38 we travel with her yet. It's new. So we don't know. Whatever the doctor says, right? I mean, yeah. Yeah, you can. We're just thinking,
Starting point is 00:20:47 do we want to travel with her? Where do we want to go? Yeah. We'll do something. But yeah, same. Just different. Fun? No, dude.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Drought, for sure. And I told you that even if I did have like a vacation thing plan, I'd be like, it's just going to be five days. And then I'm going to come back to everyday life. And it's not like, like you said, the job's great. I think this is your, this is your low tea though. You think so? Yeah, because you're, I get it. I get it. Because I tried to create fun guys. Like I have the karaoke machine. I try to get it going. And then some kid punches another kid. And it's like. In your house. Yes. And now you ruin the fun, guys. Like, and then it's like, why did you do that?
Starting point is 00:21:29 and then do 10 push-ups. I don't want to do 10 push-ups. Then the whole night's ruined. Lunchbox, do you think fun? I love fun, man. I got a lot of fun in my life. I mean, my life is nothing but fun. What's fun?
Starting point is 00:21:42 I mean, I get to nap, soccer, golf, neighborhood parties. I mean, everything. Sports. Kids sports.
Starting point is 00:21:54 He's living a lot of fun. Yeah, you love with the dream. Yeah, good for you, man. Hey, So on the podcast version of this, you're going to hear a couple things. I think we'll do Ashley McBride.
Starting point is 00:22:05 She was awesome today, and you'll hear me talk about her performance. You won't hear the performance. You have to go to YouTube to watch it. There's that. I did a, we'll call it, I don't want to say inside baseball, but in the weeds Q&A that we're putting on here,
Starting point is 00:22:20 that you'll hear that. And I think... In the weeds of what? In the weeds of like dad life or work life? No. Me like work life. Okay. Because people are asking,
Starting point is 00:22:33 it's specific, like really specific work questions that nobody cares about to talk about here. But I did like 15 minutes of it and people really liked it. They were like, oh, I had no idea that that was a part. Maybe you should listen to it sometime. I'll check it out. Yeah, there you go. Hang around.

Starting point is 00:24:00 How about the bone dry margarita? Bone dry. Bone dry is great. You could do a bone dry martini, a bone dry margarita. How about the self-deprecating dacry? Self-deprecating dacry. Bobby self-deprecating dachia. That's perfect.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Just think about that. The way humor comes in the glass. The mint bonehito. Hey, I actually like that. That's awesome, dude. I like that one. You guys like, that was terrible. That was the worst one.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's my worst one. Okay, enough about me. I'm a massive fan of yours. I was so happy to see that people were loving your record. I was watching you talk about, too.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Did you not get to be part of the album release? Were you just on the road, or what? Just doing work, just all of the work, the whole parade that goes, all of the months leading up to that, which is 12 of those. It took a year to do the album. And we did the album,
Starting point is 00:24:51 and then we just got to have to sit with it for a year. So we have songs that we want to play, you know, that we can't play out yet. and then all of the press and the media and we do the Tonight Show and we do Kelly Clark's line we do all the things so I'm in a plane we're not in the bus
Starting point is 00:25:04 plus we're doing a couple shows here and there but we can't play the new record yet because it's not out and so all of everything just kind of feels like a holding pattern even though you're doing what you love you can't do the new record yet so on release day I had a full day of press and media
Starting point is 00:25:20 and then I was I had just gotten back from London so I was still pretty jet lagged and I couldn't really figure out like how do the microwave. Like, just very confused, exhausted body. And I guess I seemed sad. Who said to you were sad? People online? Or your friends? My friends were like, are you okay? And I was like, I'm fine. Which, of course, I was like, oh, I know I'm sad because I want to be with the guys. I want to be with Dana and Blakely and I want to be with our crew. And even though I'm out here keeping the road hot and keeping the skies hot, we're not out here doing it all.
Starting point is 00:25:56 together a lot of the time. So I want them to feel like they're being celebrated. We made an amazing record that I'm really proud of and we deserve to drink mocktails and have a cake and have that acknowledged, you know, one, one to another, hey, look what we did. And you weren't feeling I guess I was sad, yeah. Have you got to like do it now with them? Yeah, being all together and just hugging. And it was true us fashion. Dana brought a cake and we couldn't find forks or plates, but we found a bunch of knives. So we just cut it into little pieces and stabbed it and people would walk by. We're just like eating it with a knife.
Starting point is 00:26:33 That was a very, very us thing to do. Before you play and you have your guitar, I want to play What If We Don't. Yeah, that'd be great. Would you kind of give me the story because I know you're one of the writers on the song? Yes. So would you tell me about the song? It has to do with that. What if we don't is the moment of right before you make a decision.
Starting point is 00:26:55 and it's not an easy one. This is a, do I leave the friend zone, or are we safer here? And in that little bitty moment, anything could happen. Because after that moment, you're going to have to live with the, I did take the chance or the I didn't take the chance for the rest of time. And you may ruin that friendship by taking the chance, and you may ruin your chances by not taking it. So it is the possibility that anything could happen, that we might regret how far we let it go, but what if we don't?
Starting point is 00:27:33 And it just so happens that a few years after this song was written, might have been within the same year. Oh, it was four years later. I got in the situation. So, you know, there's Randall Clay, Terry Joe Box, and I wrote this song, and we pulled from all areas of our lives. And then later, the question would be asked to me, and I would say no. And then that ended in tragedy. That ended in, it's not like somebody sped away in a car and met their end right then. It was the next day.
Starting point is 00:28:10 I mean, it was just a complete freak accident. But that right there really drove the song home in me because I didn't. And there's no way to know. There's no way to know if that would have ruined everything or if it would have been Right? There's just no way to know. How long did it take you to write this song? Let's see. Out on Terry Joe's patio, we probably spent four hours on it. And you wrote it that long ago and you held it because it fit this project?
Starting point is 00:28:37 Yes. It was one of the songs that we kept it in the live show and it's tried different iterations. We've tried having it more keys driven. We've tried having it more guitar driven. We've tried doing this groove or that group. We never got it exactly right. Then while we were on the road, we're on the leather deluxe tour with Cody. And we were trying out Rattlesnake in front of his audiences and getting it to where it needed to be. And we brought what if we don't back to see what it would do to an audience that's not inherently ours. You know, we're exposing our music to his fans. So with no frame of reference, what does this song do to a crowd?
Starting point is 00:29:18 and it moves. And I was like, I knew it. It's a hit. We have to cut this. We have to cut it. We have to go. It doesn't have to be a new song to be the song that belongs on this record. It was one of the first songs I chose for record five. It was right up there with rattlesnake and water in the river. Why would you even think to pull this song? Because, again, you've written so many songs.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Four or five years, I'd imagine you'd written 100 songs. I'm just throwing a number out there. Oh, yeah. What about this song, though, just kept making it like pop back up to play to try? because you have so many songs you can do that with. The Rudy effect. You know, the Rudy. You're like, I know this song can.
Starting point is 00:29:54 I know it can. I know it can move. I know it can move us as we play it. I know it can move audiences. It's not a love song. It's not a cheating song. It's none of the easy ammo. It's a what if song.
Starting point is 00:30:07 And I know that it didn't get its chance. And if you'll just give it its chance, then everybody will be rooting for it. We're going to play it now. I love her doing all the work there All the heavy lifting for this song was done Ashley McBride is in studio She's going to play in just a second
Starting point is 00:30:24 But let's play that now here on the Bobby Bone Show Here is, What If We Don't? On the Bobby Bone Show now Ashley McBride When you put out a new record Ashley Do you get on at like 1205 To see what people are saying Or will you give it the next day?
Starting point is 00:30:39 Oh, I cover my eyes for at least 24 hours Because this is a record That I've made with my guys and I'm so proud of it. And shame on me if I let anything taint that, at least for 24 hours. I am proud of this record. That's what I need to know.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Jono is proud of this record. My band is proud of this record. My team is proud of this record. And what Carol thinks about. It's none of my business. Classic Carol. Always jumping in with her opinions. Here she is with her box wine.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Classic Carol. I would love for you to play Arkansas Mud. Yeah. Would you do that? I would do it. Ashley and I are both from Arkansas, because you wonder. Yeah, got it.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Makes sense. Turns out this song's incredibly hard to play without a band because there's so much like double time, half time, but that's okay. I have a bell. Foot tambourines exist. Oh, okay. You're good though. We found it. Look at this. I mean, that's...
Starting point is 00:31:24 She has a tambourine... Strapped to her boot. That is correct. Sorry, I just hit the mic. Okay, so I want to tell everybody what we're doing here. So she has taken a microphone and built a very small stand going right over the top of her foot. And now she has a bell taped, strapped to her foot. And then she's doing all this herself.
Starting point is 00:31:42 What I think of is, you know that old thing of the one-man band? Yes. Ashley's the one-man band. Oh my gosh, if we can get symbols for my knees, we have made it. All right, I'm going to be quiet. Now, here she is. Ashley McBride with Arkansas Mud. Oh, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:31:55 We can't post the live performance on the podcast, but if you go to our YouTube page, you can watch it there or maybe listen live. Okay? All right. Now back to the podcast. Yes. There it is. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Man, that is awesome. You're awesome. I love how the east. string was just like, well, sometimes I'm also very sharp while you're banging on me. You know, not a single one of us heard that. No. I'm going to remove the tambourium from my foot for our safety. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Every time she answers or gets passionate, you hear her ching-ch-ch-ching. Happy Pride Months, Toronto.

Starting point is 00:35:55 Yes. So when you do your shows, I feel like you're like such a sophisticated thinker and writer. where do you do the songs that casuals know? The accidental fans, like casual fans. Where do we put those? If it's like, well, no, if it's like someone's like,
Starting point is 00:36:15 I know the song about the room key. Now I'm going to go watch Ashley McBride. Where do you put those songs? That needs to be in the first three. Oh, really? Yeah. You hit it hard at the very beginning. Well, it needs to be something familiar.
Starting point is 00:36:26 So we usually, we start with a statement and whatever that statement is. And I like the statement to be, you've arrived. And that's usually very loud. So you want to come hard and loud. Right. That way, if you weren't in your seat, that's not my fault. But then a couple songs in, especially if they're like,
Starting point is 00:36:46 is this the girl that leaves lights on all the time in her house, especially where food is prepared? You want to make sure that they recognize, especially if we were to start the show with Blackout Betty or Arkansas Mud, you're like, I think I came to a different show. because there's such a diversity in what we're really good at. And country music has such a diverse range of what that is. So if we hit it hard at the beginning with a rock song,
Starting point is 00:37:15 I do want to give you a mid-tempo that you're super familiar with in the first three or four. Did you ever want to be a preacher? I wanted to make sure that that never, ever happened. That you were never a preacher? That it could never be confused as anything. even close to it. But, and in fact, when I was, when I went away and there was a spiritual counselor there where I went, and she said, one of these days, you're going to walk back into a church and you're going to share your story. And I said, only if you're in attendance, darling,
Starting point is 00:37:49 you know, that kind of thing. But back in the day, North Little Rock, Arkansas, a bar called Reno's Argenta, Main Street. This guy had come in. He's in like painters' clothes. like Carpenter's pants. That's what they look like. You could hang tools on them. And it was all one color, kind of cream. It was kind of stain, paint, all over it. He came in and he was like, hey, what time do you start, sweetheart?
Starting point is 00:38:12 And I was like, in 20 minutes, he handed me a $100 bill. And he said, start right now. And I said, it's no problem. No problem. I'll just be dang. It's 10 o'clock. And throughout the show, he kept coming back to the tip jar, which was the red gas can. And he would say things.
Starting point is 00:38:28 We're starving for you. Where have you been? you know you're supposed to be here. And then he bought the whole bar round of shots. When he did that, I said, hey, I would like to tell the people in attendance tonight who to thank for their whiskey. And he said, it doesn't come from me. It comes from the Lord. And I said, okay, congratulations, everybody. You can thank Jesus for your fireball. And just being very, you know, irreverent and very casual about it. On my break, four hour set. On my break, he came up and he said, would you let me pray with you right now. I don't know this man. He's probably almost 60. And I was raised in the, in the church.
Starting point is 00:39:08 And I absolutely, if my, if your amen has my name next to it, then that I could use that help. Whatever that is, that's putting that on your heart. That's a real thing. And so I put my hands in his and I said, of course. He said, did you know God chose you? And I said, yes, I do. I know God chose me. And he said, no, not as the entertainer. You're the action. You're the accent. I was an incidental preacher. And I said, well, I hope not. And we prayed together and I finished the show. And I never saw him again. But by the end of the show, he had put 15 of those $100 bills in the gas can. And this was at a time that I had to choose between making rent and buying groceries. I had to save money to get reflux medication because it was $60 a bottle and I couldn't afford it. I had two things in my fridge. I had a jug of powder like, Gatorade and I had a six-pack of PBR in bottles. And that was because I dog sat for someone. This, I had nothing.
Starting point is 00:40:08 So the whole, when he said that, all of that happening around each other, me saying, I hope I could never be confused for that is, is not a completely accurate statement. Because what he said to me that night was really important. And I don't go around preaching about sobriety and I don't go around preaching about preaching and I want everyone to feel like they belong and like it's okay to be anywhere I am no matter who you are. And if that were to be confused with establishing a message, then I would be okay with that. Do you ever feel like you weren't supposed to be around places you were in?
Starting point is 00:40:49 Did people make you feel that way? Oh yes. I've been in some really interesting situations. I never really took into consideration how small 5-3 is because I'm larger than life. You know, I would have bet you're way taller than that because you're larger than life. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:41:06 And I have a big mouth. And I have a big energy. And I've talked myself out of as many fights as I've nearly talked myself into. And by saying things like, you can hit me, but you're going to hate the way I take a punch. But I got in a truck one night in my truck. I had loaded up my gear.
Starting point is 00:41:24 It was after the bouncers had taken the trash out. So big mistake. I should have been gone by then. All my gears in there, there's nobody in this gravel parking lot. And I went to go close the door of my tundra. And a big, big drunk guy was between the door and the frame. Now I know what size 5'3 is. And he's hammered.
Starting point is 00:41:52 So it does not matter how hard I push. or if I hit him square in the nose, none of this is going to phase this guy, and I'm not pulling this door closed. Unless he says I get to, and that'll piss me off. Unless who says? But that's why I keep a taser in the cup holder.
Starting point is 00:42:14 It works every time. Have you ready? Every time at one of one times. Oh, okay. One of one times. And I hope he's still in that parking lot. you had to use it then that's the time you used it yeah yeah yeah i just grabbed it and stuck it in his thigh because that's what what's funny is when i bought it we went to like a show like a a weapons show
Starting point is 00:42:37 like you do at one of like at the whatever center in conwire whatever and i got you know i was like a cute little taser thing and it was just still in my cup holder so you didn't like practice like grabbing just no i usually practice like situational awareness yeah i keep um i don't know what the actual name of that is they are collapsible they are metal i think they're an asp asp maybe they're called and they're illegal in some places so you got to know like i keep like a stick yeah like a billy club but they they extend oh okay and so i've always kept ways because i was by myself yeah just me and my truck and sometimes my dog so i've always kept ways to keep myself safe with that we literally bought as a joke and i was happy to have it dang that's crazy it's not going to hurt the dude
Starting point is 00:43:23 but it's going to change his mind. It's going to hurt him. It's not going to injure him. Right. Yeah. Right. Nothing that cannot be quickly recovered from. Dang. When you put this record out, what did you not expect to get from people that you got from people? Ooh. Maybe I expected a little pushback on the bottle tells me so.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Why? Because I've made it a point to not soap box about not. drinking. And so I tried to be really careful there that that isn't preaching and it isn't soapboxy. It just is a statement that there was a problem. And I think the thing that has surprised me most right now at live shows is the number of people singing so loud during bottle tells me so. And for some of those people that are singing, their bottle isn't a bottle. It's a something else and you can see it, which means that there is a moment happening there with us together that is super healing, that he in, and not in like, come here and I will lay hands on you and heal you.
Starting point is 00:44:36 It just, something hurts a little less after that song. The album is called Wild, the tour is Into the Wild, right? Yes, yeah, you nailed it. Okay, so the album is out, just came out, and the tour is Into the Wild, just announced 26, dates. You can go to Ashley Macbriad.com or to her socials. McBride with a Y. That's right. McBride with a Y. McBride with a Y. I am such a fan. I hope this album does everything that you want it to do. Maybe it already has. Maybe it already has. I don't know. But I'm such a fan. And thanks. And I got so many nice messages to, you know, I have a story. We all have our stories.
Starting point is 00:45:11 But we kind of told our story together on my Netflix show. And I hear about that more than just about anything I've done years. I get so many messages about that episode. So thank you. Thanks for having me and thanks for having that conversation with me because it's helping, it's helping others. I think there's a real safety in talking about something with someone who's also experienced a version of it. Oh, absolutely. And for me, that was the safety. Like talking to you about my version of my story, there's safety in that because I know it's not even so much judgment. It's just like understanding and empathy more than sympathy.
Starting point is 00:45:42 I get plenty of sympathy. Knowing that there's space for it without any, anything around that. Like there's room for it. So I really appreciate it. I appreciate you. I thought about that for days. after we spoke. And the more messages that I've gotten that I've just tickled and thrilled that that it's encouraging others to talk. There she is. The wonderful bell on her boot.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Ashley McBride. Thank you. Thank you. Hey guys, before I do the FAQs that I'm about to do here, I kept calling them FYQs because I was getting for you page and frequently asked questions mixed up. So I'm not going to change but every time I say that, just know one, I know I'm an idiot, and two, that's where the confusion was. FAQ is frequently asked questions. That's what I meant. FYP is the for you page. Okay, here you go. Enjoy. Bobby Bones.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Hey, everybody, we're going to do a FYQ on questions that I get that are very inside. In the industry, we call it inside baseball, even though it's not about baseball. But it's like way inside that I don't think most people would actually care to hear the answers to, but I do get these questions a lot. So over the past couple of months, I've made a list here. The first one is not super inside, but it is. What is new in your life now? I tell you what I did today before I get to the inside stuff. This is just a little bit of life chum. We have a baby, and we have a car seat for the baby, and today it was a big day because we actually took the newborn insert out, and now there is no newborn insert. So the baby's getting bigger.
Starting point is 00:47:21 The craziest thing about the baby getting bigger is that her ears are getting bigger, which is wild because her ears were always like this big. And last night I was looking at it, I was like, her ears aren't that big anymore. So that's what's new in my life now. My life is dominated by baby right now. And even like internet drama, et cetera, I don't even pay attention to it right now. I can't. I don't have time for it because it's just like I work all day.
Starting point is 00:47:49 and then in the afternoon and then we go home and we, I don't want to say have, raise, take care of the baby but it's crazy too because they're so small but they're also growing so fast that everything kind of hurts a little bit through growing pains.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Also a great show back in the day. So that's the quick update on life. Now, FYQ's, one way or another of these questions get asked about kind of my career inside. The question. What's annoying to you, but you put up with it in your career? I think the thing that's most annoying to me, and I understand the value of it, and I put up with it,
Starting point is 00:48:33 is on the Bobby Bone Show podcast feed, and for those that don't know, I've been doing a podcast for around 20 years. I've been doing the radio show, but I've been so dedicated to the podcast of our show, meaning not just repurposing the radio show, which a lot of people do, but we have been so dedicated for 20 years on supplementing it, doing different shows, podcast-friendly shows that aren't segments from the radio show. I've been so dedicated to it. And it's why it's really large. I think if we took the radio show off and just had the podcast, it would just be a massive podcast. But I think people think about us as that because it's the radio show first in most
Starting point is 00:49:12 people's mind. But we have worked on that podcast so hard for so many years. And I am somebody who is a bit OCD about I like things to be the same. In my perfect world, that podcast feed would have nothing but Bobby Bone Show Files. Now, I don't own that feed. My company, which I love, I Heart Radio, pays me a substantial amount of money and they own the feed. So there are things and decisions that they make that I understand. Doesn't mean I have to like them. For example, random podcasts get put up on that feed sometimes. The company owns it. So they go, we have a massive feed. We're going to launch a show on your feed. Or even like some of the shows from my podcast network, they get put on the feed. And I'm like, oh, this is driving me crazy. I like it to be clean. So that's something
Starting point is 00:50:04 that I understand. I can absolutely see the value in that to the company. Since the company owns the because I don't own 51% of it, I own some, but not 51% of it. So they have it. That's it. That's it. that is something that is so inside that I don't think I've ever talked about. If it were up to me, that feed would just be the Bobby Bone Show. So another thing about the podcast feed, oh man, we're going way inside here, is that there was a time a few years ago into a couple years ago. I was getting a lot of complaints that the podcast wouldn't go up until way late in the day. if it was like 1 or 2 p.m.
Starting point is 00:50:51 So what we started to do was we'd finish the first half of the show and we would put the first half of the podcast, the show up on the podcast, then we'd put the whole thing as a second file and then we would do a second show. So now there are three files up there. I didn't like to duplicate part of the show,
Starting point is 00:51:08 which is what was happening, but we wanted to get something up early. Where that got me in trouble was, and we stopped doing that after about a year and a half, is that because I work for a corporate, You can't actually have less than you did the year before, streams, ads, revenue. So when I stopped doing that first half of the show goes up and the whole show goes up, and then there was a third file, I still had to have three files up there.
Starting point is 00:51:38 And then we just went one show, it was just two files for like a year, and it looked like the podcast numbers had dropped off significantly, even though each episode was doing better, we used to have three files up there that they'd be able to sell ads on. And so it looked to the company like our podcast was trending way down. So now what we do is we do basically a 50-minute show that's live on the radio. We do a 50-minute to an hour, second show that's just podcast, and then we super extend or tell me something good segment, which I think is my favorite thing that we do, and that's usually around 25 minutes to 30 minutes. And people would go, well, why don't you make that a whole just two and a half hour clip every day because then it would only get the
Starting point is 00:52:20 number of streams for the one file and the company would be like you're going way down. But that's why that's like that on the feed. I kind of walk myself into a trap there when I was trying to do the early part of the show and the late part of the show. So that's up. That's so, again, that's inside baseball. Another one is something you hate doing for work that you never talk about. The thing for me that's most awkward, the thing that comes to my mind first is I hate asking people to collab on Instagram posts because I feel like I'm begging. And so if someone does the Bobbycast or the Bobbyvone show and on Instagram you can tag somebody or you can invite to collab, I always feel weird about inviting to collab because I'm going to think that they think
Starting point is 00:53:11 I expect them to also push this through to their feed. And like I tell my guys, like, we'll do it once. Or if they want to, a lot of times they want to, because my feed has 1.2 million followers. And so I'm going to put it on mine, and we shoot it really high quality. So sometimes they want it, and we'll talk to them ahead of time.
Starting point is 00:53:32 But if they don't want it, I just feel really awkward about asking people to collab on Instagram posts. So we'll usually do or ask for one, I haven't even been doing that recently. Like, unless they don't ask, I don't do it, because that feels weird. So that's what I hate doing
Starting point is 00:53:48 because I just don't want people, I don't know, but that kind of is gross to me. Another one is, do you like talking about Dancing with the Stars? I don't mind it. I think I do it in pocket. Sometimes I love it if somebody has an experience that's similar and they did the show as well.
Starting point is 00:54:06 That's fun for me because I like to hear other people's experiences. There are three, four, five, six months at a time where I don't talk about it. And I think I went for a couple years really without talking about it at all. But then I just kept getting brought back into the mix over and over again. And it was never positive. And then it was, well, if I'm going to take all of this for negative, I should at least be able to use some of this content for myself. So I don't mind talking about it. Sometimes people are shocked by it. And then that's kind of fun. If they're like, you were on that show and I'm like, yeah, I want it. And they're like, oh, my God, that's fun. But I kind of feel like,
Starting point is 00:54:40 that's like my body like a backroad. Like I'll talk about it the rest of my life. Even if I really don't want to, I don't mind doing it. I don't lead with it. But a lot of times, especially if it's people who don't know anything about country music or anything about what I do or books or... That's the thing that goes first in a headline
Starting point is 00:54:59 for somebody who knows nothing about me, a headline that I don't write. So they'll go, Dancing with the Stars Champion, and they don't want to ask about that. So, yeah, I don't mind talking about it. sometimes I love talking about it, but I don't normally bring it up out of nowhere unless I think it's going to get me to a place where whomever I'm talking to is either going to give me something or it makes us comfortable. Whenever Danica McKellar was in, who was Winnie Cooper and she's written books
Starting point is 00:55:26 and she's great. She was a great guest. I knew she was on the show. I knew she had like broken a rib, and that is something that I can talk about with her. And I know that she's going to feel comfortable. She's going to love telling the story and it's going to allow us to get to another place because we've been like in a conversation together. We've enjoyed it and it allows me to move around a little more. So yeah, I like talking about it sometimes. But I know I'm going to talk about it for the rest of my life if I like it or not. So what is the most bizarre part of your job? So if you remove the things that I think people think the answer would be of, you know, doing a podcast on Netflix that's watched by millions of people, eating at restaurants where people like film you and like all that's
Starting point is 00:56:14 bizarre, although I've been able to grow with that a little bit. Meaning when I'm in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and that's where I started, 105.9 KLAZ in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Nobody cared. Small town. I just did nights. You get like two people a month that be like, hey, are you Billy Bones on the radio? And I'd be like, oh, it made my day. Yeah. They'd be like, that's great. no picture or anything because there were no camera phones. And then as I went to Little Rock and had a little more notoriety, it really started for me in Austin. And then you start to get people want to take pictures with you,
Starting point is 00:56:52 but then people also are going to talk bad about you. Like that part of the business starts because the higher your platform, the more everybody's going to talk about you, period. Some people are going to be mad you have it. Some people are going to like that you have it. But as the platform lifts, more people see you, more people see you, more people have things to say. I've been able to grow with that from nobody caring at all to a few people caring, to sometimes people care, to now, it's pretty regular that
Starting point is 00:57:22 people say hi or want to take a picture or something. Normal as can be. For my wife, the really abnormal thing is she didn't get to grow into it. Like, so when we go to dinner and someone's recording us, and you can always tell when someone holds their phone like this, because most people, if I'm looking at my phone, for those that are watching, if you're listening, I'm looking at my phone like a normal person. I'm kind of bent over. Whenever the phone comes up like this, you don't look at your phone this way. And that's how you can know somebody's recording you. And so if we're sitting at dinner and someone's phone pops up, like my wife doesn't like that at all. She doesn't like to be recorded. I don't even notice anymore. But at first, I was like,
Starting point is 00:58:02 not a big deal, but I realized she didn't get to grow into that. okay thank you they're recording me right now so that that's a bizarre part of it i think for her but i think the weirdest weirdest part is that i if i'm anywhere i have to have security with me and it's also not something that i talk about a whole lot because nobody cares but i've had enough i've had more than enough instances and incidents that to my company i am a bottom line if something were to happen to me, there would temporarily be significant revenue loss. There is insurance on me from my company, not because they like me as a person, although a lot of them do, but because if I were to go down, they would lose a lot of money, so there's insurance on me.
Starting point is 00:58:51 For that insurance to happen, because of all the instances that I've had with people trying to kill me, jump me, death threats, there's security with me all the time. And that's weird for me. because it's just meat. Like what's going to happen? Now, we've had some real close calls. And like, you know, I do an I heart festival, which we did. My guy's with me all the time.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Everywhere I go. In the building, I get there. My guy's with me all the time. So that is bizarre. That's a bizarre thing. I understand it. It's like the podcast thing. I understand why the company has to have it.
Starting point is 00:59:26 There have been enough instances where I've been almost beat up or almost died that they want to make sure that their investment is protected. So yeah, I think that's a bizarre part of my job that I don't talk about often because it feels dushy to walk around with the bodyguard. I got a good one though. He will F you up though, dude, seriously. Do you know the good episodes and the bad episodes of the Bobbycast?
Starting point is 00:59:54 That's a question. No. Kind of. I know the ones that I enjoy doing, but sometimes the joy that I have in doing it does not translate because maybe somebody's humor doesn't translate or it's not as enjoyed as much as I enjoy it. Also, there are times I come in and I am roasted, just exhausted, didn't get sleep, show went long, something happened, and I get in the room and I'm having,
Starting point is 01:00:27 my brain's not clicking and I finish it and I'm like, terrible. What a terrible episode that was. It turns out it's pretty great. People will tell me that. There are somewhere I'm like, man, that was so much fun, nailed it. And people are like, yeah, it's fine. It's fine. So I think most of the time I know when it's a good one, but I don't always know because a lot of it depends on when I get to the room how I'm feeling. But one that I really enjoyed recently, and I don't know how it's going to be interpreted.
Starting point is 01:00:54 I haven't seen the edit or anything, was it's not out yet, by depending on when you see this. Vanessa Carlton. She did Making my way Downtown Walking fast Paces Faces passes
Starting point is 01:01:08 They go by him She did a thousand miles Probably the biggest song we've ever had in the room Honestly And we've had massive stars But I think that's That song's ubiquitous
Starting point is 01:01:17 It's everywhere And so she doesn't do any press Almost never And she came in Very dry sense of humor And I just really enjoyed it Because she also had pauses when she answered, which made it feel a little uncomfortable at first,
Starting point is 01:01:32 so we kind of got the rhythm down. She also was like, no BS. She was also funny. She was like, I play a thousand miles first, just so I can get it over with. Basically is what she said. Like, I appreciated that. Like, to me, that was an episode that I really enjoyed.
Starting point is 01:01:47 I don't know how you guys will take it. Because she communicated a little differently than most people do in an interview. So a lot of times I can tell, sometimes I miss. Sometimes I think the ones are great aren't, and sometimes the ones I think are terrible. end up being good. And that's mostly though if I just was exhausted going into the room, which I really try not to be. But sometimes if we can only get them at a certain point,
Starting point is 01:02:08 we have to schedule them up against like five hours of other work. So that's some real inside stuff. But I wanted to answer some of those because I get those same type questions all the time. And for the eight people that will watch this, FYQ, super inside information about Bobby's career. Thank you for watching. All right, voicemail. Why is Eddie so condescending to everybody? He's not the best game player. He just gets lucky, but he is rude and condescending.
Starting point is 01:02:40 Love the show. Bye. Is that the impression people are getting of you now? I don't understand. What am I doing that's rude and condescending? Amy, any answer there? I guess, does somebody have an example of him being condescending? We need that example.
Starting point is 01:02:54 Is it during games when he wins, he gets cocky? Well, he definitely has a little bit of that. But he's always had that. Yeah, that's confidence. But you do it after. After I win? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, give me the next one.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Years ago, Amy's cousin made a prediction about when Bobby Bones would get married, and he didn't even know Caitlin yet. So I wonder if that envelope was ever opened. Just curious. Two different things. One, did your psychic cousin, to your best recollection, nail when I was going to get married? I don't know. I was so long ago.
Starting point is 01:03:28 I don't know. Oh, there was an envelope for that one too. Man, we love envelopes on this show. We do. Where's the envelope? No, it was a bit. Amy has a psychic cousin. Show of hands.
Starting point is 01:03:37 Who believes Amy's cousin is psychic? Not me. I do. Oh, my God. Just Morgan. I just think. She has a gift. She has a gift.
Starting point is 01:03:46 I'm going to raise my hand. You're going to raise your hand? I don't believe in psychics. But I do believe that some people have the ability to read it's a different dimension It's tough It's tough man Don't raise your hand
Starting point is 01:04:01 It's tough I know Her level of consciousness Goes to a place That Most can't get She talks to the dead too Yeah
Starting point is 01:04:11 Yeah But she's had conversations With my mom And her mom And other people's mom There's somebody we work with Actually that lives in New York We just saw her
Starting point is 01:04:23 IHeart Country Festival And I guess she had a thing With my cousin And she was like Somebody that had passed away in her life. She was like she was telling me things that nobody would know. Like nobody. And I was like, oh, that's
Starting point is 01:04:34 crazy. You talked to my cousin. I had no idea this person even talked with her. We can't prove Amy's cousin is lying. We can't. Well, but this woman that works with us, she was saying nobody would know the stuff my cousin was saying about the person that died. I hear you. I'm not fine. For me as somebody who
Starting point is 01:04:49 I got to see it. I get it. It's tough. Are you raising your hand? I'm halfway. Let's go to our historian, Mike D. What do you see over there? She did predict the month you were going to get engaged. Get engaged. And did I get engaged that month?
Starting point is 01:05:04 Yes, you did. Okay, yeah, I think I do recall that now, and that was a pretty wild. And it was way, way, way before. Now you remember it? Yeah, now, yes, now I do recall. I've been sitting here thinking about the different, because we've done a lot of different bits with her or timelines. And there was one that never made it to air.
Starting point is 01:05:21 It wasn't about anything. Like, she wasn't, we weren't interviewing her and she was making any sort of predictions. It was just at my house, something you had going on in your life, Bobby. And she told me it was going to happen. And then it happened. I don't remember that one. Well, yeah, because it wasn't on air. Did I ever know that one?
Starting point is 01:05:37 Was it kept from me? I don't think so. I think I probably told Caitlin, or maybe I didn't want to say anything until after because it just felt like weird. But I already, I sort of knew. And then you announced, you were like, yeah, this is happening. And I was like, what? I don't even know what it is. I know.
Starting point is 01:05:54 I don't think you would care if I said because it's not anything Give it around Okay, then don't Then don't go You wouldn't care You wouldn't care Okay, you were moving
Starting point is 01:06:04 And But you weren't in the You weren't moving yet Okay And then you moved And it sort of didn't make sense Because like I didn't think that the move
Starting point is 01:06:15 Would happen And then all of a sudden There was conversation Of like we're moving And I was like What the So the prediction Was about him moving?
Starting point is 01:06:22 Yeah And I was like No no he's not gonna move To be fair, I've moved basically every two or three years my entire life. Because we had to move. Growing up, we moved everywhere. We couldn't stay in a place for long. No apartment, trailer, wherever.
Starting point is 01:06:34 We always had to move, got kicked out. So when I got to be an adult, I kept moving. Just kept moving. But I just felt like you wouldn't leave this place because it didn't make sense because like. Yeah, we'd sit so long building it up. And then you got married. Like everything just made sense.
Starting point is 01:06:47 Like you wouldn't move. And then she was like, no, no, they're moving. But Amy, it would be like a psychic being like Amy's going to hit something with her car in the future, near future. Nobody predicted Bobby and Caitlin moving at that point. We keep finding reasons to go, no, no, no, when maybe we should just be open to the idea that it maybe could be. Can I, can I, I, I did a little research.
Starting point is 01:07:07 She also said lunchbox wasn't going to get a car and he still hasn't. And she said that I would choose a different career path by the end of the year in 2020. On the engagement, she said, if Bobby will either get engaged late this year or early next year. That gives her a whole window. A whole window. No, she said the exact. No, we wrote it down. We wrote down the month. We wrote down the month to put an envelope because I didn't know it. I am just looking at the Bobby Bone Show website and whoever does our website, that is the
Starting point is 01:07:36 quote they put. So I'm just going off the research there. Well, then that's not tracking the bit entirely because I, yes, Eddie, as we were thinking about this, I do have memory and recall of how it happened. And she had texted me or sent like an exact month. And I held it. secret didn't even tell me because she knew I would fight it and purposely not get engaged that month just to prove her wrong exactly if I told Bobby the
Starting point is 01:08:01 month he'll be like yeah I'll show her oh yeah I definitely would have fought it anyway Amy has psychic cousin but she's been nailing some stuff we don't know for sure I mean also she'll even say she's like I'm not going to get everything but if you're psychic why don't you get everything right
Starting point is 01:08:16 I don't know because it's fuzzy up there in the different dimensions chance or luck yeah you miss some You get some. But in your psychic, you should nail them all. No business gets everything right. Like, you could be the greatest baseball player. You're not get to all strikes, even if you're trying.
Starting point is 01:08:30 Yeah. It's the dead people stuff that really gets me. You mean the struck to dead people? Knowing things that people aren't, she's not supposed to know about our co-workers' grandmother in New York. Like, they don't know each other. It's not like she could Google, like, oh, let me research about this person's. Okay, well, wind chimes all around. I don't know, guys.
