Yeah. We've had it, you know, we're, as I say, skeleton crew, so Eddie's been doing multiple jobs. We got it. signing a book for someone who wanted to give it for an auction. In 2021, I still signed 2021. It still feels like Evans had to sign a lot of 2021, even though we're already in August. But it's almost 2022.

That's crazy as crap. I don't want to rush it, but yeah. It's almost 2022. That's weird. Years keep on going. Glad everybody's here. Let's see. Where do I start?

I got a couple Eddie things that I didn't get to on today's show, and I really wanted to, so don't be insulted, Eddie. Good. And I did say before we went on to post you, I said, hey, guys, we're going to do some really good stuff here that we just weren't able to get to today. One of them was, you're talking to your kids about what they want to be when they grow up. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And you have four kids, two foster kids, two biological children, and you're having the conversation with them, I'm assuming three of them? Well, I'm only having conversation with a couple of them because I feel like with my biological kids, I've known them long enough to kind of see their personalities and what I believe they're able to do in their life. Oh, you're already telling them what they want to be.

I'm planting a seed in their head. Oh. Because I have this one kid. That sounds boring if you're a kid and you get a seed planted as well. Your dad tells you what you're going to do. No, I just kind of, you know, like, hey, as you grow up, think about this. Because I have this one kid who is very smart. He's just above everyone else.

This one kid. I hope your other kids aren't listening. Hey, not every kid's super smart. Some are better athletes. Some are better, you know. The other kids don't even be driving in the car right now listening to their dad's. They have other strengths. Oh, this is a podcast.

This is a post show, so they will not be riding in the car. Good point. Good goodness. Safe place. So, and he's just, you know, like he's driven and he's got this personality that I feel like if he wanted to be a doctor, he can be a doctor. He's patient. He's smart. He likes school.

He's good at school. I'm like, dude, this could be you. And at first he was like, you know, I want to be a baseball player. I'm like, cool. I love it. Let's work. I mean, work on that. But at the end of the day, a doctor, I think you'd be a great, great doctor.

and you like nice stuff. Guess what doctors get to buy? Nice stuff. So I'm already planning the seed in his mind, and I'm hoping he takes my advice. My mom was very disappointed. I did not become a doctor. She wanted you to become a doctor.

She was disappointed? Yeah, I think so. And I would have been, too, to have a kid who's like, I want to do something where nobody makes any money. There's absolutely no stability. That's the profession that I chose. So I understood that she was disappointed.

I did not choose to go into something. where there's a ton of stability being a doctor or even a lawyer even because no one where we came from was a doctor or a lawyer we didn't even know a doctor or a lawyer but she was like that you should do this you should be a doctor like don't you see that you are naturally you have a gift of you can retain information you can read it you have the curiosity to go and want to know this stuff and i was like nah i want to be on the radio and she was just disappointed that what i was good at in her mind i was not using it to the fullest potential. And I would kind of get that nudge. Are you sure you don't want to get into medicine? Like, you could do this. For me, I've been lucky to know since I was five years old. I wanted

to be in radio. And when you work in radio, you're just broke. I'm not broke now. I'm not going to act like I'm broke now because I'm not. But you're broke forever. And I was. And what was cool for me was since I grew up poor, I was okay being poor once I was an adult. You know, there wasn't like a big change where I had to like take a step back. What stinks for some people in art is if you grow up in your nice middle class family and you have to go and take a huge, it hurts more because you have to actually go backward. Where, you know, there are certain things that happened in my past that at the time I was like, well, this sucks. But I look back and I was, I was kind of lucky I grew up poor in a certain way.

Because I was able to chase something where there was no money. Look up what the average radio person makes. It's like, Mike, look that up, like $28,000 a year or something. and made significantly less for a long time and my first contract was $17,000 my first morning show contract whenever I was like supposed to like killing it.

It was 50 grand a year and I thought that I was I thought that was rich. I was like I'm there made double what my stepdad made working at the mill and I was like this is the life I remember going to my mom going I'm making 50 grand a year And I was able to, a little after that, you know, buy her tray, learn a couple acres to live on.

She's passed away since then. So she doesn't live there now. But I was able to go, look, 50 grand. And a little bit, she was like, yeah, but doctors make 200 grand. So I know what it's like to have that feeling of someone going. It was a compliment, and it's a compliment to your kid that you think he can be a doctor. Like you're not just saying be it and he can go chase a dream maybe. You really think he can.

I think he's able to do it. And that's all I'm saying. I wouldn't even be disappointed if he did something else. I'm just saying, hey, bud, if you want to be a doctor, you can totally do it. And I think that's great. Don't go, hey, you need to be a doctor. No. Because I got a little bit of that.

And I think that was coming from fear from my mom, though, that I would just be in that cycle of what our family had been in for generations of we didn't work to build a life. We worked to survive our life, week to week. Yeah. And so, yeah, I took a big risk. It was broke a long time. But I was okay with being broke because I grew up broke. And I'm not broke anymore and it's awesome. And I have a good life now.

But, yeah, good. As long as you're framing it that way. Yeah. Sometimes kids, you know, parents will hit me up and be like, my kid, they just want to be a YouTube star. What do I do? I'm like, you encourage the crap out of them. That now is what radio is.

Radio now, in my mind, it just was whatever comes out of your phone. You can be a podcast. I listen to a podcast. go on actual airwaves. To me, that's radio. This show goes on airwaves and the pocket. That's radio. Everything's, everything's radio to me if it comes out of your phone. But it's like my kid wants to be, if people would have told me, hey, you can't be on the radio because it's like 0.001% of people who actually make it and can have a sustainable wage just to live. If I would have played the odds, I wouldn't

be here. So you encourage them. Support them. Baseball player's tough, though, because you can practice all day. I know. And if you don't have the physical, it's tough. Yeah. But you can be good enough to get a small college scholarship. That'd be cool. Yeah.

I told them that. Dude, if you get a ride to college playing baseball, you've won. And that doesn't mean you have to be a major league baseball player. Right. But every kid, I wanted to be a ball player. Right. I think that's every kid. I always wanted to be in radio and do TV and do comedy.

But I also wanted to be a ball player for a while. And then once everybody kept growing, like bigger and stronger. And you didn't. I didn't grow at all until 10th grade. I mean, I was the smallest kid. And then I started to get a little taller. I was always really skinny. In playing high school football, I was thin,

started to get a little taller. I was an okay high school football player. Good baseball player, but okay high school football player. But, yeah, let him know. The average radio person today makes $35,000. So I don't think that's even the average salary of what someone in the United States makes. Mike, look that up.

average salary. Oh, I just saw an article on this. I don't know. I haven't looked at this in a while. He's going to pull up, not radio average salary, but just average salary. In general, for Americans. Yeah, Americans. Professions.

I want to say it was like 40 or something. 31.30. The average U.S. salary is 31.133. Yeah. So it's about that of someone in radio. But good, Opie's a doctor. That'd be cool, man. That'd be really cool.

Just as we get older, too, I'm thinking, how awesome. would it be to have a son doctor to call and be like, I'm feeling this son. What do I do? Or it would be awesome to have a kid who is getting his pre-med while playing baseball. That too. All of that would be great. That would be tough. Eddie said that he had a babysitter over. You and your wife, you left? Did something? Did something? No, we went and had dinner. Come back. You hire a babysitter. And I'm assuming by this story, she's young.

Yes. She's young and she was a new babysitter that we hadn't had before. Okay. But how do you find a new babysitter? these days. Through our old babysitter and like, oh, you know what? I can't do it this weekend, but I have a friend that can do it. Cool. All right, great. We trust you. My wife is just stubborn. Dude, she's been doing this forever and she can't break out of it. She writes checks. And so we come back and she

asked the babysitter how much and the babysitter tells her, so she pulls out her checkbook, writes a check, gives it to the babysitter. And the babysitter was sweet. And I was just like, thank you. And then looked at the check and then before she walked out the door goes, what do I do with this?

That's hilarious. And my wife's like, what do you mean? It's a check. Right, well, how do I turn this into money? Or is this the money? Like, I don't really understand. We had to explain the whole thing. Like, it's a check.

You go to a bank and you give it to them and they give you cash or whatever. So if she doesn't have a checking account, did you have to figure something else out? No, she had a checking account. She just don't. But you can also cash a check without a checking account. But they charge you. They do? Yeah, they take a percentage of the check.

Even back in the day, you just signed it back of it and you get it. Yeah. I'm a cash check. We don't use checks anymore. I know. No one does. That's why I tell my wife. I'm like, we've got to stop doing that. I have a bit of that because, again, I'm 11 years and nine months older than Caitlin.

And that is, at times, a funny generational difference. She doesn't know not having a cell phone. Where we talk about, I'm considered what they call the geriatric millennial. I was able to do both. Living the Gen X with no internet. I remember it. But then totally be in. And I feel like I'm still as dialed in as anyone who's,

you know, 19 or 20, for the most part. And so she was like, yeah, I just, I don't remember her time without having cell phones

or GPS. And I was like, no, no, MapQuest, man. You used to print, like, or the book. You used to get on MapQuest,

and it go, you print off all the papers, like, go this way, take a left. Mike D, it's interesting. Hop on Morgan's Mike over there. Because Mike D and Caitlin

are basically the same age. Do you remember MapQuest? Yeah, I use MapQuest. You did? Yep. Did you ever have, do you have a time

remembering when, not because of how you grew up because, again, if you couldn't afford a cell phone, that's different. But when cell phones weren't a thing. Yeah, I remember when they weren't a thing. I didn't have one because we were broke and I couldn't afford one. But, yeah, they were always a thing. In your life, Pee-Sell phones were always prevalent.

I just didn't have one. My friend Evan had a car phone. Oh, money bags. I mean, Donald Trump Jr. I couldn't believe it. Yeah, for sure. I couldn't believe. He had a bag phone and his dad would open him.

They called people from the car. That's crazy. Mine was blown. I remember my dad got one, like, early, early, and it was for business. And he sent me to the phone store to pay the bill, and it was almost $1,000 for the bill, for this phone that he had in his car that he didn't have an office. He wrote around town in his big brick phone, and that's how he did work. Mike, you ever seen a big brick phone in a car?

No, I've never seen that. Those were the people that were making it. Or they were just spending a lot of money out to have a phone. Yeah. But he had a bag phone. Another thing was someone had sent her these little spritzer drinks that have a little, it's like a spritzer alcohol thing, some new product line. I don't know how she got it. And so she opened it up and it had a disposable camera in there.

And she was like, oh, this is cool. What do you do with it after you take the pictures? She doesn't develop pictures? I mean, Amy, yeah, that was like high school for us. Yeah, I don't know. And I was like, what do you mean? She goes, no, no, if I want to take these pictures. But what do you do? What do I do with the camera now?

But also, I don't know who does that anymore. Right. Walgreens still does it. They still do? Yes. Did you ever use a disposable camera? Yeah, all the time. You did? That's how we took all our pictures.

Okay. But she was like, I don't, I don't, we didn't use a camera like this. And so there's a lot of fresh prints references she doesn't get. Man, no one knows the struggle of being left somewhere and needing to call someone and not having a phone. The Woodstock 99 documentary, she was like, well, she knew there weren't self. She was like, but there were no cell phones in 99. I said out there because they show people on pay phones, waiting in line of pay phones.

They couldn't find their friends. There were 100,000 people there. And if you lost your friend, you just lost them. Because you couldn't text them. They literally go all weekend without seeing their friend because they're like, how can we get a hold of them? They had these little stations where you write your name looking for Bobby. Hey, it's me, Eddie.

Me, try to meet you here. But that was the time where you have to pull over, grab a pay phone. Did you ever have a pay phone on a mic? Yeah. 100 collect. I remember using that. 1-800 collect. Yeah, that was a carot. I would just do zero.

The operator, and then you want to make collect call? If you do zero and then you would dial the number, the operator would pick up first and go, or you have to record your name. Hey, say who it is. Hey, it's Bob. Pick up the phone. Or we would cheat. And I'd be able to pay phone and I have no money.

And I would be like, hey, don't accept this, but I'm here. I need to be picked up. Love it. That's scrappy, dude. We used to that crap, too. Because we didn't have 35 cents to put it in there. So you'd have like six seconds to tell the person who you were so they'd pick up and accept the charges. Do you accept the charges?

And they'd be like, calling you now is, hey, it's Bobby, I'm in church, can pick me out by! And that was it. Yeah. And so, but there are the occasional little generational quirks. And I make fun of her sometimes. I'm like, you don't, like she did Metallica. She never had Metallica. I never liked Metallica.

And honestly, Metallica was a little bit old for me too because they were big 80s. and I really didn't come into my own in the 90s. But she was like, oh, Metallica, the face paint guys. I was like, no, that's kiss. Counting crows when we were going. She had no idea what concert you were going to. And then I, but I play them to her now. She's like, yeah, I still don't like them.

Oh, man, they're so good. Okay, Mike, thank you for your time. Yep. Mike has some questions. He wrote me a note he wanted to ask me one month into marriage. Do you have those with you? Yeah. Let's do those.

these are questions that now that I've been married for a month, you're wondering. Yeah, because after me being married a month, this kind of stuff I experience as well. Okay, go ahead. So does it feel weird calling Caitlin your wife? It did for about a day. It did the first time.

You're like, this is my wife. Wow, that's weird. Now, no, now it's just normal. The only thing I am not the best at sometimes is remembering to put my ring on. And so sometimes I won't have it on and I'll be like, yeah, I wouldn't work out. I was single when I work. out.

You know, or I'm gonna eat dinner single tonight. Why don't take it off? I don't like jewelry, really. The rubber ring I'm wearing now is actually pretty cool. Yeah.

I don't really feel it. Stanley loves to try to chew it off of me though. Like, he just sees it and his... So if my hand's hanging, you know, he wants... But if we went to dinner last night, we had a nice dinner, I put on there. Oh, the ring.

The ring, it's got little diamonds in it. Yeah. That just reflects a little bit. All right, what else? Oh yeah, I thought I was gonna say, are used to wearing it, like the main one. The rubber one's pretty cool. I can actually fall asleep in it. The main one, no chance.

The main one, I'm just playing with it all the time because it's heavy. If I wash my hands, it like cuts my underhand. Oh. Because it's sharp. And you've never worn a ring. Yeah. Was it a rough reality coming back from the honeymoon and like, all right, this is just life now. No more wedding to plan.

It's all done. I'd say it was the opposite. It was way better. No more wedding to plan. And now it was, we get to get some. started with the real stuff. Like trying to get her on my insurance. You know, that's been a bit difficult.

Trying to get her off her work insurance onto my insurance. That's all weird that we are having trouble with. But other than that, it's always been pretty good. And how do I, like, save money on taxes now? Let's go. How do I do that? Somebody give me some tips. Start having kids to save more money.

Oh, let's go. All right, what else? And do you just feel different? Like, I felt like after I got married, I just felt more adult. It felt different when she made. moved in officially. Yeah, it definitely feels like I had a letter in an envelope and it was unsealed.

Now I've just sealed the envelope. I feel like when I do stupid stuff now, she can't leave. That's what it most... It's a little security in me. Like sometimes I do stupid stuff and say stupid stuff and I know she's just not going to run away and never come back. She's just not going to pack the car up. Because a lot of paperwork she'd have to do it. Oh yeah.

It's the process. Yes. So, yeah, yes. I would say yes. But I'm just ready to save money on taxes. I'm not even sure how that works. Keep going back to that. But everybody keeps saying, I'm going to save money on Texas.

Yes. I mean, it feels like I'm a big heavy boulder that's almost impossible to move. That's what we are now. Like, it's somebody's house. It's a lot of work

to have to move one of those huge rocks and they usually never move. And this rock is just a big rock that's not going to be moved. So it kind of feels like that, like just more secure. I don't know if that would have that analogy works. Some people put some big old rocks in their yards. I'm like, how'd that get there?

It must have taken a lot of time. No, it's good. But I feel like it a year asked me these again. Okay. Because after I get to pay taxes and save money, I think that you're all about the taxes. Ask him April next year. Well, that's what everybody's saying. Like, oh, man, you're going to love it. You're going to love saving money on taxes. Are you flying this weekend? Yeah, to New York. And I bought a very last minute ticket, like very. And the only, like the best price option and time available was on Spirit Airlines. And I couldn't bring myself to do it.

I don't know why. I've never flown spirit. I have not either. I don't know if it's bad or good. Me neither. I'm sure they're amazing. But then, but, you know, I don't know. I feel like are they the duct tape place?

Oh, yes, one instance. That's why I would want a fly spirit then. Right. They take care of you. Do you think you're going to get duct taped? No. Then why would you care? I mean, I guess not.

I don't know. I just hadn't, for whatever reason, I just felt like I needed to stick with my OG, like, Southwest, or even though it's not the most ideal time, I just didn't know if anybody had ever thrown it or flown it. And why wasn't I able to just select it? Well, the saying is, if you fly spirit, you'll end up a spirit. Is that true? Oh, like you die. That's their slogan?

No, I was like, good thing. No, Mike told me that was their saying earlier today. Is that like the... I've never heard it. I'm sure it's great. Sure, it's not their saying, but like the... You know, like when you're rushing a sorority of sayings about the other sororities that are... In the TikTok videos, I've seen...

Yes. That's what it is. Really? There's one where, like, it's dirt cheap to get, but then when you get on there, they charge you for, like a seatbelt. They charge you for... They charge you for a seatbelt. They charge you for... I made that cushion.

For your chair. You need that oxford thing that comes down. It's extra five bucks. You're going through really, really bad turbulence, and it's like, push you. just button for oxygen. They have your card on file. What? You have to use the bathroom.

They charge you. Fifteen bucks. You got to put a quarter in to turn the knob. What? Yeah. Yeah, for me, if I'm flying a long ways to California, I will try to fly United or Delta.

More comfort. Yes. But I will fly southwest closer if I get a choice. That's what I'm flying. because it's cheaper and they fly more places. Anim A list preferred. So at least I always get A group.

Yeah. Caitlin's not... TSA pre-check. Oh, she needs to get on that. That's the worst. You're married to her? Ours is almost expired, probably, those. I did...

We got to the airport really early, I don't know, a few weeks ago. And I said, hey, you're going to pay for Clear. We're going to pay for Clear. You're going to do it because we're here an hour and a half early. And so she did Clear, but Clear's not at every other. airport. Right. That's, what is that? Clearer, you go up to that little white box and you just put your fingerprint down and you kind of go, you know, same thing. You've already been cleared by the TSA because you've done all that stuff.

Got it. But it's not everywhere. Denver has it. L.A. has it. We have it here in Nashville now. Austin may have it. Austin has it. Yeah. So, but yeah, she doesn't have TSA pre-check. I get it because it is a pain in the butt to have to drive to the place and do it. But I'll leave her. You made us today. I'm shocked that you, like, agreed to marry her before she got that. Well, I told her, and she's okay with me going through, she's like, go through TSA Preachicac. Y'all meet you on the other side, and she'll wait in line. And I'm like, but if you're late and the plane is about to leave and you're still in line, what would you like me to do? And she says, do not get on the plane.

Yeah. Oh, I thought you were going to say, man, I got to leave. I hoped, but no, that's not the case. But that means she needs to get TSA Precheck. Yeah, I mean, it's not that bad. I kept thinking it was really bad. And then you pretty much gave us a deadline here. You were like, by, this was years ago, by July 15th, you have to have your TSA-Prete.

Because we were flying together all the time. I know. I want to wait for you guys. But it was the best thing in the world. I know, but I'm surprised you didn't say to her. I don't want to pay rules on her. She puts rules on him. We kind of put rules together and then I agree to them.

There you go. That's a good way to put it. Yeah. She has to do a lot of dumb crap because of my job. So we try to balance it out And I tried to do a lot of personal stuff Because I put her through the ringer She has to travel to a lot of dumb stuff

She has to, she's like, I'm doing it to support you So I try to do the same thing back And you could probably do a better job at times I do spend way too much time Working on my phone She told me the other day She was like hey And she's like hey look at your whatever

And I had worked for 16 hours that day Because she had looked all day She was like, you're going to go crazy if you don't give yourself an hour to just hang out. It wasn't about her because she was gone most of the day too. So if you don't, you're going to go crazy. If you don't give yourself an hour to like stop for a second and just watch a show or something. And so what did you do? Nothing yet, but I've been considering it.

I think it's probably pretty good. But I put my phone away for dinners now. Phone goes away for dinners. Good. Not even face down, just away. I give it to her. If we're at dinner like last night, I hand her my wallet on my phone and I say, sit this by you. you. Wow. Because if I hear it go,

I'm like, oh, I need to get it. Something's going wrong. I don't. I'm trying to be a more balanced person. I don't post as much on my Instagram stories anymore because I'm not always like trying to find stuff to shoot. Something comes up. I post it. If not, I'm just trying to be a balanced person

so I don't die at the ripe old age of 50. That's what it is. Wow. Thank you. I know I'm turning into a pretty good person. Growth. Thank you. That's it. You guys have a good day. Eddie and I have to go to band practice. Yep. Right now, huh? Right now.

You don't have to stay. Are you done? I'm trying to get everything prepared right now so we can leave. All right. Goodbye, friends. See you tomorrow. All right.
