Yes. We would pull up their schools would be there with signs for us. It's competition. What you would win is a bottle of gold shlogger.

On paper, the three hosts of the Nick Dick and Poll show are geniuses. We can explain how AI works, data centers, but there are certain things that we don't necessarily understand. Better version of Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time.

I actually thought it was. I got that wrong. But hey, no one's perfect. We're pretty close, though. Listen to the Nick Dick and Poll show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, what's up? Welcome to Tuesday show. Appreciate everybody being here. All right, morning, studio. Morning.

All right, let's go around the room and check in with everybody. We're trying to convince them to start wearing a toupee, but he thinks it'll look fake, and he says no way. It's producer Eddie. Hey, thank you guys. Hey, so I got a question for you guys that I saw online. I was like, this is interesting. Who is the most underrated country artist in your mind? Like somebody that you really like but never gets a lot of attention.

Okay, I would say for the amount of hits that he has, so there's two versions of this, I would say Billy Currington. So many massive songs and sometimes you don't know that that's him. When you start to go, what's Billy Currington's playlist? It's one banger after another. Bangor, hey girl, what's your name, girl? Good direction. Turn of beans.

I would go Billy Currington for an artist that has massive success that probably isn't considered in that group that sometimes they have less success than him. But part of that too is it Billy just goes away and does his thing.

Like he lives in Hawaii or something. And so he doesn't want to play the game and sometimes you've got to play the game a little bit. But I'd go Billy Currington and then also I think underrated can mean just not discovered yet. Okay. Like not hit.

And so I would say like an Ian Muncic. Oh, that's a good one, dude. You know, he performed at our million dollar show. I've done an hour long podcast with him. He does his own style. He's from the West. He lived on a ranch.

He does, whatever he does. He does like those wolfhows in his songs. Yeah. And it's all legit. He dresses like that. He is like that. And he's so good.

And I think it's taking him a bit of time to start to break through because he's been so different. But then once you break through and you're different, you own it. So I'd go Ian Munsick as well. The really fascinating thing about Ian is,

so Ian and I sat for an hour and talked to Ian. And he has a pretty determined stutter. Oh, yeah. And after a while, the stutter was a bit less. But when he talks in normal life, he has a stutter, when he sings, no stutter. We talked about that. That's amazing how that works.

Yeah, he'll sing in front of 5,000 people, no stutter. But talking, he can't fix it. So I would go to those two, Billy Currington and Ian Munstick, but this can be interpreted so many ways. I know, I know. I feel like, yeah, so many. I wish, I'm thinking of more people I wish we played more of on the radio.

Go ahead. Well, like Casey Musgraves, I've just been listening to her new album a lot. Yeah, I'm about the only on the plays her. Yeah. That's a good one because, yeah, she, I mean, she's awesome. But I would say she's rated very highly. She's won a Grammy for Album of the Year. We don't in country radio,

don't hear a lot from her, though. I do. You do. Because I play it all time. But just in general. Yeah, you. She doesn't really even, she doesn't do much stuff here, though.

It's kind of like Billy Cunnington. It's not like she's, and for a good reason, and I get it. And I wish I could do that and be like, screw everybody. But, you know, purposefully, she doesn't do a lot of in Nashville stuff. I mean, her whole golden hour record wasn't even country.

Really? But I, okay, Eddie? Parker McColl. I just love that, dude. And I feel like, when you have a lot of, list of country artists. He's never really on there. So all the people we named Casey Parker, Billy, they're

massive. Parker sells out arenas. Yeah. You know, amphitheaters. But Parker's young. He's only had a few hits because he's so young. He's got jams, dude. Every time I hear one of his songs, like, gosh, the new, the burnt, the burn down. It's so, so good. I'm like, gosh, we need to get this guy. Is he going full race, Sam, huh? I'm parking. No, no, no, no, not like that. I'm not going to start dressing like Parker or anything. Yeah, again, you can define it however you want. But I feel like Parker's pretty widely, like, respected.

Oh, okay. We need to get him higher rated. How do we, okay. Rate him higher, guys. All right, go ahead. Lunchbox. Chris Stapleton. Excuse me? Chris Stapleton. I mean, he's a superstar. I think everybody. No, no, he's a superstar, but I don't, we don't ever play him. Yes, he's on the radio. Like his last three songs have been number ones. All right. Well, Chris Tableton.

No, no. The question is not who do you love. Like, who do you love that doesn't get a lot of attention? But how would you say Sampleton's underrated? Like people, he wins, he's like, everybody knows he's the best singer. He's considered one of the top ten songwriters in the past 50 years. He's got multiple number one hits. He sells out tours.

So how would he be underrated in your mind? Has he won entertainer of the year? Yes. Yes, actually. Two years ago. Yeah. Okay. Okay, so we'll move on from the underrated part.

But what was the question? Why does he love him so much? No, he just does love him so much. Yeah. Like he's really good Was the question that who Okay who is under I mean I don't know anybody that's underrated then Because I don't really pay attention to

All right Okay Anybody in your radar are new Anybody that they came in the studio and you're like man they're really good Who did it came in here There was someone recently A lot of people Yeah no that the leds

The stray guys just because they gave me a hoodie The red clay strays Okay underrated So if they give you free stuff Yeah well I mean that was the best giveaway. Like most people come in, they don't give you anything or they give you a CD. It's like, oh, I mean, they gave us legit, like, nice hoodies. And I was like, this is perfect.

So that's your official answer? We'll accept it. Yeah. What's their name? The stray clays. No. Stray clays red. Red. Red stray clays. Almost. Think of dirt. I mean, you've got the words.

The red dirt stray? No. Red clay strays. Oh, boy. Oh, you said think of dirt, Amy. Yeah, like, because red clay on the ground. Well, yeah, think of dirt is not say dirt. Yeah, it was a hint. All right, let's get going here.

Glad you guys are with us. We got a big show plan for you today. Sam Hunt's coming up. In just a little bit, he'll be in studio, Locker A-F. Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones.

I've always prided myself on my looks. Take great care to make sure I always look my best. About six months ago, I was in a car accident. It left me with a significant scarred in the middle of my forehead. Now I don't want to go out in public, and I can't imagine anyone finding me attractive. A few times that I've been out, I can tell people that are looking at my scar. How can I totally change the way I've always felt about myself? And then my looks are the most important thing about me.

You can ever learn to love a less attractive version of myself. Signed, Misty in Minnesota. Well, sometimes things are introduced to us in a way that are not pleasurable, but are really good for us long term. but we're all going to lose our looks anyway eventually. We're going to get older. Like that's going to happen. And I get if that was your thing, like you're the hottie. And all of a sudden, you can still be hot, but with a scar.

So don't let, don't, people probably aren't even thinking about the scar. If it's just a scar, they may see it because it's there on a forehead. It's kind of hard. It's like if somebody walks in with like part of their hair dyed green, like just a little strip. You're probably like, well, that's interesting. You don't think about it anymore than that one second where you look at it. But also, it's probably a good lesson. Or opportunity.

Yeah, but I'm assuming if you always pride of yourself on looks, you probably also looked at other people's looks and held them in higher regard because of it. And so, but now maybe you're understanding that that isn't really the most important thing. And it's kind of, again, it's a hard lesson sometimes, but I think macro versus micro, it can be a really great lesson. Anybody you'd want to be with anyway, it's not going to be turned off just if you have a scar on your head.

Like if there's somebody that you would have met and you thought you'd have fallen in love and you'd have been so happy together. That's not that kind of person that won't be with you now because of a scar is not that person anyway. So, yeah, it sucks. A lot of stuff sucks in life. You know what you got to do? Sun comes up, you get up with it.

And now you get to learn a lesson that a lot of people learn later. And you know what? The lesson's not even going to be near as big as you think it is. It's like when we're worried about getting up and embarrassing ourselves in public or if you have to give a speed or whatever it is. We're like, oh, if I humiliate myself, nobody's thinking about it one second after it's over.

Because everybody's so self-consumed anyway. So good for you. You get to learn and you get to find value in more important things. Signed. Ugly geeky Bobby. Yeah, I think it's an opportunity to get to know other parts of you because you do have more to offer than your looks. So get to know the other things about you that are amazing.

And if it's just a scar and you were that good looking, you're still probably pretty good looking. It's true. And it's a conversation starter. Yeah, scars are cool, man. Yeah. There's always a story behind a scar. Sometimes that story's not good.

Well, you can make up a good story. Rob in a liquor store. It's not a good story. I got bit by a shark. You changed it? Yeah, you changed it. And then later you're like, I'm just joking. I was just...

Robbing liquor store. Yeah. It sucks. I'm sorry that happened to you, but I think you'll get a lot from it and it also allows you to understand that that's not the most important thing in life if that was your understanding

that that was the most important thing in life. we always we get these lessons in different ways. So yeah, congratulations. Look at it as a bit of time to grow. And the person you've been happy with forever ain't a person that's not going to date you now because your scar. That's all. All right, close it up.

We got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close. Bobby's Melty. Yeah. We're going to play Never Going to Get It. And I'm going to give you the question. Then we're going to play the new theme song. About a quarter of Americans

have ever had one of these automotive accessories? What are they? About 25% Americans have had this automotive accessory. What is it? It's difficult. That's why we say you're never going to get it. No, you're not going to get it. Courtney's on the phone right now.

Hey, Courtney, how are you this morning? I'm good, Bobby. How are you? Really good. Thank you for calling the show. And you have three chances here to win a $100 gift card to Sonic. Now, the question is about 25% of it. Americans. I've had one of these

automotive accessories. What is it? But only 25%. And I can give you another hint. 14% still do and another like 11% say they used to. So half of them have hunted it. And that's a free hint. Oh, that's a tough one.

I'm going to take a wild guess here and I'm going to say the air freshener you hang from your rear of your mirror. Okay. Like the old tree, the old pine tree. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great guess. But that's not it. it's hard because you're never going to get it No, you're not going to get it

Amy, how do you feel? Fine. Lunchbox? Great. Eddie? I feel good. I have three options that I get to choose from that I came up with. Morgan?

I feel pretty good. Now I'm going to give you two, Courtney. There's four show members here, but you get to pick two of them. And if either one of them get it, you get it. But it's never going to get it. So, Courtney, who are your two players? Okay, I'm going to pay. I'm going to go with Ammore.

and lunchbox. Okay. Oh, boy. Go ahead, Eddie. About a quarter of Americans have ever had one of these. 14% say they still do. About 11% say they used to.

Eddie? We're talking about the club that you put in your staring wheel so they don't steal it. That's interesting. It's actually good. Morgan? Well, they used to have us a lot

when I was in high school. It's the wheel and seat covers. And they could be all different kinds of things. It could be fuzzy. The wheel. Oh, like on top of the wheel. On the wheel and then also on the seat, they all matched. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Lunchbox? Tassel hanging from the rear view. Like after you graduate high school. Yep. Or college. People did that a lot. Mostly high school. Yeah, people did that.

Amy? A vanity plate, also known as like a personalized license plate. Great one, Amy. Hey, Courtney. Yes, Bobby. Of those four answers, which one did you like the best? It doesn't matter. It doesn't.

Somebody got it. Really? Yeah. Somebody got it. Probably the club. The club? Probably the club. They tricked you into saying the club.

I don't think it's a club. We all have the club. It's 2024. I never had the club. The club cost more than my cars back then. That's true. I was just seeing if she would stay loyal to Amy and I. I guess not.

No, you guys kept you on the club. I didn't. She didn't say loyal. The answer is vanity plates. Amy is the winner. And so is Courtney. Let's go. Wow.

Congratulations. Courtney. Hey. Oh, by the buddy, Bobby. I'm a really big fan of yours You actually one year I called the show on my 19th birthday You send me an autographed picture

And I went to your hometown Mountain Pine, Arkansas And I took a picture by the Bobby Bones By the Boyhood Home of Bobby Bones And you like that picture on Instagram But yeah I've been a fan of year for yours That's awesome So it made my day

Because I called my last birthday But I didn't get to talk to you guys I'm so happy I got to spend my day with you guys today That's awesome And you want $100 with a sonics So let's go. Happy birthday. And Courtney,

let's put you through a little fun bit here. Courtney, so if you listen to the show, what would Amy's vanity plate say, Courtney, if you get to assign one to Amy, what would her vanity plate say? I'd say Super M-M-A because she's a really good mom.

S-U-P-R-M-M-A. Super M-M-M-M-M-A. You only have, yeah, you know something. Yeah. Okay. What would lunchboxes say? Um, the comic relief,

I don't know. CM-R-L-F. Come on, really. That's not really good. But she gets to pick it. And she says you're funny. That's good. I'm just saying like if you're driving, you're not going to really understand what that is.

I think I would maybe. Eddie? What about Eddie? Superdad. Nice. You can do the whole word. D-A-D. Superdad.

No, you can't do the whole word. It can't. Okay. S-P-R-D-D-D. Superdad. Superdad. Yeah. What about Morgan?

Morgan. And um, baddie. B-A-D-D-D-Y. I like it. What does that mean? Like baddy. She's a badie. Oh, she's a bad.

Yeah. What about me? Um, I don't know. What would Bobby's say? You would probably just get a picture of like the University of Arkansas mascot. Yours wouldn't say anything. You would probably just say the University of Arkansas mascot. Or you would probably put like Caleb's husband on it because that's probably your favorite title.

Yeah, C-T-L-N-H-B sort of. Ken. Yeah. Or whoopig. I like who-pig. Yeah. That does a lot. Okay.

Well, and Courtney's a big winner today. Lunchbox, what would Eddie say if you had to sign it? Baldi. Good. And you can spell that. B-A-L-D. We're one-D. Why?

You need your one short, though. B-A-L-S-6? B-A-L-D-Y. That's five, man. You need one more. How would you do it? Oh. You do two D's.

Yeah. Baldi D. Baldi D. Yeah. Baldi 1. Baldi one. Yeah. But Eddie's okay with it.

Like, you're, you like... I'm bald. Hashtag baldy. That's what it is. You can't do hashtags on a license plate. Oh. Eddie, what would lunchboxes say? Uh, idiot.

Idiot. That's not enough. I-D-I-O-E-E. Yeah, perfect. You need one more. Oh, one more? Idiotto. Yeah, Idiot 1.

See, I shouldn't just open them up to insult each other. I don't know why. What about dumb it? DMBA. All right, Courtney is our winner. It's time for the good news. With Amy. So shout out to Lori Pena, who is a mom of six and her husband.

I think that's probably why they were dialed in on the toddler that was walking on the freeway or near it. Oh, my God. And they're like, okay, something's not right with this. And if that was one of our kids, we got to stop right now. We got to help this kid out. They ended up contacting. The toddler's just behind the road, by the road. Freeway.

Yeah, and the toddler was able to communicate that he lived in a house nearby and was able to get the officers there once the police showed up. That's an immature toddler. Or like the oldest level of toddler. Four, like a young four? Yeah, four or five. So the toddler. Five's not toddler. It's not?

It's not. Kindergarten's not toddler. Oh, okay. Right. No way. That's top. No, four is the end of toddler. Yeah, there are no rules.

And we're being way too. No way, you idiot. Go ahead. Well, he was left with his six-year-old brother at home, and what they determined was when the dad got home shortly thereafter, who knows what happens, child services is looking into this, but it was a safe environment. Everybody seemed to be doing good, so it was probably one of those crazy wild things.

That happens, right? Super accidents happen? Super accidents happen. This is the actual definition of a toddler, one to two. There's no way that two-year-old could be that communicative. Okay. Three to five is considered a preschooler, but I didn't know that toddler and preschooler were like the same version. Yeah, I didn't know either. A toddler.

Hey, the internet's stupid. Yeah, a toddler can totally be four. That's a good story. I'm glad they found the toddler. Good so far. We're still looking into it. Yeah, but the kid's safe. No, yeah, everyone's safe.

Yes, yes. Kids safe. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good on the Bobby Bowling Show now. Sam Hunt. Hey, Sam. Good to hear it. Good to see you, buddy.

The microphone is on your, in your chair over there. And you should be able to hear Ray mess up a few times. You good, Ray? You good to see you, man. You too, Bob. How are you? Real good. I was pumped because I saw your tour.

And we were talking with your old football coach. And this is a whole situation where we're talking to Ty Hilton. Yeah. Yeah. So we were running to him. We were up in West Kentucky working out with the team. And so he's a head coach there now. And he said, was he your quarterbacks coach, the office of coordinator?

What was he? Yeah, he was. He was the quarterback's coach and then also helped that with the offense. So his dad was a long time legendary coach coach there at UAB when I was there. And then Tyson, his son, was the quarterback coach. Yeah, so he was, and he was not that much older. He was older than us, but he was. Barely. Younger.

Yeah, no, yeah. I mean, so we're hanging out and he said, hey, you ever talk to Sam? I said, yeah, sometime. So Tyson's the Hilltopper's head coach now. Is he the head coach? Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, he's crushing. And he said, tell him I said what up and give him my number.

And I was like, I don't, I don't really know how to handle this right now. But he sent along his regards. Would you still? Yeah, I'd like to get his number. Oh, we got it then. Good. That's not all good then. No, no, no.

We can give you his number then. Because I was like, I don't know. I'll tell Sam, you want his number. But you're good? Yeah, we absolutely. Cool. Good now. Yeah, we stayed in touch for a long time.

And then after life got crazy, you know, several years after moving in Nashville, I just, I've, I've, I've not talked to a lot of folks from my past life. Did you have to change your number? I have a couple times. Because of people like, I don't know, stalkers, Ray? I mean, like people like that. No, no. I don't remember.

I changed. Actually, I had the same number until about five years ago, and I've changed it twice since then. And I get overwhelmed a little bit at times. Would you rather us give you his number or give him your number? Either one. I'll take it. I'll take his number from you.

do that. He was talking about how he's like, I just tend to give him a number out to anybody and then I get overbalanced. I felt that. I have a little guilt for unanswered text messages and I am bad with text messages. And then so that guilt sort of weighs on me in anyway. Do you have the red dots? Like lots of red dots? Are you that guy or do you clear them all off?

No, they're in there. So you don't even open them. So your guilt is not that you open them and then don't respond or forget to respond. Is that you just never open them? No, a lot of times it'll be, I'll see them while I'll, I'm driving or I'll be in the middle of a writing session or I'll be in the studio and I'll see the text come in and I look at it and I'm like okay I think to myself you know I'll get back to that yeah and then it just adds up my problem is if people text me at like 10 30 p.m. even 9.30 if I'm

asleep because I have to wake up so early on the weekdays I'll see it at 3.30 and I'm like I can't reply now because I'll wake them up and then I don't even think back about it at 11 because I've already moved past it. I know and I'm sort of ADD so I If I'm in a frame of mind or in a state of mind and I've got some focus going, if I entertain a conversation that is about something completely different, then whatever I was thinking about is gone. And now I'm in the world of this text message conversation. Do you think you can write a song about anything and it'd be good?

No, no, definitely not. That's why it's so hard for me to put out music because there's only, I feel like the sweet spot for what I can write about or what would work for me is so small that, A lot of ideas come along that I'll just, I'll pass on them or think, you know, that's just not a good idea for me. But there's probably plenty of guys in Nashville who could write those ideas and they end up great songs. The legacy of Sam Hunt, the writer, is that you are much more of a perfectionist or someone who needs to sit with it a lot longer than the average songwriter. Would you say there's truth to that?

Yeah, I think I got that reputation during about a three-year period where, I was probably overthinking and, you know, I wrote my first album and had some success with it. And then I should have been riding while I was on the road, but I was touring for two years, not writing at all. So when I went back in to write, I was trying to figure out exactly what I had done on the first album that was made it successful. And so I think I started overthinking that and trying to get a little too formulaic and breaking everything down into this sort of math problem. You kind of got in your head a little bit? Yeah, I think so. Are you still in that spot?

where you need to live with it for days and days and days? No, I've stepped back away from that. I tend to just move forward now, which is the approach of most songwriters who I write with. It's just keep going, get the song written. And that tends to be more productive if you zoom out and look at it long term. Body like a backroad, one of those you took a long time

and kept rewriting? Yeah. Yeah, it's funny the like the silliest song I have. But it's not, sure, it's silly in that. But still, you had to find the exact, that song's got to make you feel or envision certain things. That was the problem was there was so many ways to miss. That was one where if I missed by an inch, I'd miss by a mile.

And so it was a delicate tightrope walk. And so I had to get it just right. Did you feel like it was just right or did you go, I can't hold on to this any longer? A little bit of both. Yeah. I finally got, I just, I didn't want to have any lines or sections that didn't match the rest of the song and feel like the same character.

but also feel like it just came out because I wanted to feel like it just came off the top of the head top of my head but it took more thought and effort to get it to make it feel like that it kept feeling overwritten every line early on was like a reference to the back road and it was like just felt overwritten and too cute so I had to find that sweet spot

it took a little while if I especially when I've written books but or even a joke if I live in it so long I lose whatever I thought was good about it Like I can't identify it anymore. Like if I'm writing a joke and I'm like, man, I don't know if this is funny because I've just been inside of it so long. Or the book, too. I'm like, I hate it because I don't.

Do you do that with songs where you're in it so much? You can't even identify what was good to you at first. Yeah. And that's the argument against taking too much time with something and trying to over or just overthinking it is that there will come a point where you can't see it anymore. And you just, you lose perspective. And so that initial burst of inspiration. It's almost better, I think, to try to mind that for all you can early on, while you've got that, why you can really see it instead of sleeping on it and coming back to it weeks later.

Locked up tour. You guys get tickets at Samhunt.com. Russell Dickerson, George Burge, on the Canadian run, which we're a bunch of Canadian places too. Shout out. Dalton Dover kicks off June 28th. And it's in, you know, a lot of cities the show is in. June 28th in Bend, Oregon. You're up doing that northwest.

coming all the way through. I guess my question is, I wouldn't watch John Mayer's acoustic tour, which I'm a big John Mayor fan. That's like the first songwriter I ever heard speak for me. Not just to me, but for me. I'm like, oh, when you see a good comedian,

you're like, oh, I thought that, just didn't think of it like that. He was the first person that I ever heard write a song, and I was like, oh, I've always thought that, I just know how to say it. His lyrics are really thoughtful. And guys like that are who,

those are the guys that make me overthink lyrics is there's a bar there that some of the guys like that set and you always feel like you're not. You're not, you're not. People do that to you too in the same way, right? They're like, well, Sam's the bar, because he will spend all this time getting it perfect. We all have a bar, and we're all somebody else's bar too, and it's just not to be driven crazy by the frigging bar.

Yeah, right. And we all value, subjective, and we value different things. Some people, some songwriters value, they want it to, the melody to be fantastic and wanted to feel and flow. I've always been attracted to the lyrics, and John Mayer has some great lyrics. He did the acoustic tour, and it was super cool. And I wondered, but I am a massive fan, like what it was going to be. to be like with him just up there with a guitar and really nothing else. I feel like that kind of show that would be awesome for you to do.

Would you ever do that? Just go out and go, it's me and a guitar. Let's go. Yeah, I've thought about that. He's a fantastic guitar player. I don't know if I could carry a show with just me, but if I had a couple partners with me to play, maybe a trio or something, that could work potentially.

I thought about that, yeah, like doing theaters, maybe throwing some old covers. Are people surprised? at because if they just have heard a few songs on the radio let's say they're not a massive Sam Hunt fan or even a massive country music fan but they're just a casual of both or either

are they sometimes surprise at like how country you actually are because you are I mean you're literally like you grew up in it give you a guitar or you can play it all do you find people like oh you actually are that dude yeah I think it comes out

I guess and people are surprised I think people have preconceived notions. I think about it sometimes. I guess I grew up country, but I grew up southern country and there's so many shades of country in the South. There's classic rock, which is a big part of country. Yeah. And in the South too, hip-hop's a massive, I mean, even for me in Arkansas, well, it's streaming music though, right? Like the generation above us, they only could get it at stores. Yeah. And so regionally, there would only be a dominant amount of whatever was big. But like you're seeing folks now that are in their mid 30s, late 30s, early 40s,

who had the opportunity to be influenced and affected by everything. Yeah. And that's a bit of what I feel like at times your music isn't in the greatest way. But I think sometimes people are like, Sam Hunt, like it's really country and they're surprised by it. And I'm always like I told you. Yeah, I just, I never, there's so many themes that in country that we push really, really hard. And the country boy lifestyle, like that gets pushed really hard. and it's almost sometimes feels like it's a signal to that group to say,

hey, I am one of you, I am one of you, and it feels pandery and like, like me and accept me. When they name-check certain artists, it's very pandery. Yeah, there's an element of that. So I've always been, I guess, tried to avoid that and probably have gone a little too far out of my way to avoid it. The new EP that just came out. So four songs, Outskirts is on it, which we're going to play coming up in just a second. But the other three songs, Locked Up. Yeah.

Like a really personal song. It's got to be the people you really trust. set that aside for when you're going to be with people like Shane McAnally. Yeah, I essentially, I love branching out and writing when you folks, but for the most part, because of that relationship, you just can't replace a 10-year relationship overnight. So for the most part, I still just write with the two or three, two or three folks. And luckily, we have that long-term relationship. We've talked about everything under the sun.

Yeah, I'd be worried, like, to get too personal with somebody I don't really know. Because, like, what are they going to take out and tell their buddies? Yeah, right. Like, that's what it. Right. And it just... Because they're not like HIPAA? No, there's not hip and songwriting.

There should be. There absolutely should be. We talked about Body Like a Backer. One of the things I learned from that song is that there are people out there that just want to hear a lighthearted, easy-going song. It's easy to sing too, and it puts a smile in their face. So I've leaned into that since then. And this is one of those songs that, I don't know, that fits that bill. It's funny.

We talked about John Mayer, but he would. and him and I talked for like half an hour and we were talking about songs that are like that. He's like, you know, the songs that people mostly connect with are not the ones I spent the most time on. He was talking about waiting on the world to change and he was like, that song feels like, I just wrote it and was like, generic. Yeah.

And he goes, but that's the one that people most connect with. And at times, as he said, that sometimes you can get in your head so much about creating something that is so revolutionary that nobody relates to us. Exactly, yeah. Yeah, that desire to validate yourself as an artist is in anybody who does anything creative.

And, um, but that's just, that's ego. And when you, once you feel that in a song, uh, and it feels trying, it can be,

you know, it's not lost on the, the listener. So, um, hopefully I, you know, I'm capable of writing some of the,

those songs at times when they come out naturally that they can be, uh, what they're supposed to be. But, um, I think I took for granted songs like, lighthearted songs that are just, that are,

um, families and, You know, I see we have a lot of kids at our shows now, which is interesting. And they're songs like this, you know, that my brother can put on in the car with all his kids. And they can all sing along to it. So there's something to be said for that, too. This is Julian Edelman, host of Games with Names. On our latest episode, we got comedian Blake Anderson from Workaholics and The Hilarious.

This is Important Podcast. Let's go. We did beat them in improv. You had an improv against the team? Yes. We would pull up their schools would be there with signs for us. It's competition. What you would win is a bottle of gold slager.

James Fester threw it out of a van because he didn't want us drinking it. For more games with names, visit the Iheart Radio app or wherever you get your podcast.

I got a song, I'm just looking for the right person to write it with. It's called Rural Plural Murals. It's the hardest thing along ever. And nobody really has the ability or the

they really don't have the guts to ride it with me. Have they yet, Eddie? That's it. What I wanted to write was the hardest ever. It's about driving in the country. Rural, plural murals. Plural murals, whichever one. But it's like multiple murals. in a rural city and all of a sudden you're just affecting you're like are you sing it rural plural you know anybody gets so you know i don't know if that's just think about it just keep that that's the song for you you yeah but you're you know your great songwriter written for other people so if something like comes to you like a good melody for rural plural murals yeah i'll think on that yeah let me because that's one of those you know that's one of those next level ones i can't tell

if it's got a ring to it or or the opposite both at the same time yeah that's it's so next level yeah it's so simple with a ring but no ring at all yeah yeah Take that out of here. Blue on my mind. You announced a tour, and Outskirts is doing really well, but did you put out the music to go, hey, here's some new stuff you can see

if you come out and you've seen me 100 times before? Like where you play those live? Do you put out the new music so people can go, oh, cool, put out some new stuff. We'll also get to see him to do a few new songs.

Yeah, I mean, putting out new music, I try to put out as much as I can. Were you thinking about plural murals when I asked you that question? He was already in it, I can see. He was trying to write the song there in his head. Yeah, go ahead. The biggest thing was putting out,

I wanted to put out a new album, but it probably would, if I had put out all the songs at once, it would be about right now before I had gotten them all done and out. So I've been putting this album out a little bit at a time, and I have the last three songs already now. So this is really me putting out the last bit of what has been an album over a year and a half. But I didn't want to put out all those songs as an album because seven of them have already come out and I feel like my fan bass is already sort of rolling

their eyes at how little music I put out and to put out songs as an album that have already been out. It just didn't quite feel like it would land very well. What do you think you can max out, bench press? Because I know what I can. Oh man.

We don't even do that anymore. I'd probably, if I tried it, my shoulders would probably both blow out but I don't know. So we have, Sam and I have the same trainer. We train at a time right by each other. I mean, we're the same size. I don't know why we just don't train together

because we probably lift the same weights, you know? That's true. We should. Yeah, but I, you know, what I thought about it, like $2.60. Yeah, about. Wow. Don't worry about me, though. It's only on Instagram.

Don't worry about me, though. Does that mean, like, one press? Yeah, one. Max out. Like a lot of plates. Bar is bending, basically. Wow, that's like, that's two big plates and what? Like.

I have so many, I can't even count it. Yeah. I was counting the murals. The plural. Well, at least Klug is doing his job. He's got you up to 260. Where are you at, Sam? Yeah, where you at?

I don't know. That's how you know someone's really strong or really good at what they do. They don't even need to say. They just like... We want to make you feel bad. I'm afraid to guess, and then I get in there. I always overestimate my strength. I don't know where I would be.

Do you have any injuries from playing ball that still hurt, like when it rains? Yeah, I have had two back surgeries in college. Still bother you when it gets the weather, it gets a little funky? I mean, they kind of bother me all the time. but yeah certain times of year i don't know if it's the weather or my you know trying to do too much in the gym but um yeah i've got to sort that out at some point um sam a big fan obviously uh thanks for playing our our show for st jude which i was listen it's super cool thank you i appreciate y'all have me again yeah and then the tour samhunt dot com all the tickets are up there and

there are a million places that we're on that you can hear us and i would get tickets as fast as you can because I just heard what's that? Oh, they're almost sold out. They got in my ear right now. They're almost, what's that? Some of them are sold out. For Wednesday night? No, I don't know. I'm talking about your Oh, Arturo. I thought you're talking about the million dollars. That's already happened.

What else? It's sold out. Wednesday night. Yeah, yeah. I figured that. Yeah, my brother's coming. In reality, it's actually, we're recording this the day before the show. Right. But we're acting like it already happened. Right, right. It's tough. Yeah, which by the way, you crushed it. You crushed it. You did great. But I don't know why everybody started flashing us. It was weird if you did.

Like, as soon as you got up, at the show Wednesday night. All the dudes started flashing us. And I was like, I never seen that before. No, it's weird, Sam. It's crazy, man. Heaven forbid it.

Yeah. Heaven forbid. If Ray were to sum up Sam's show in one word for people, like if they're going to go see his show, like what's Ray's one word? What's it about, Ray? Old school meets new.

What about Sam is awesome to you? You bring them up a lot. Well, I told you guys, back in the day he started the baggy shirt movement. He was one of the first people to ever do it where he wore the shirt down to his knees. And so I didn't have any of those shirts. So I would wear like cut off shirts underneath my actual hang shirt. So it would be even longer. And my wife eventually, the girlfriend back then just said, stop wearing your shirts like Sam Hunt. All that was because of a long shirt. All this.

I mean, he's the one that started it across America. It was Sam Hont and then I saw him do it so I started doing it upstairs. And then it spread across the country. But I'm saying it's just a It was the shirt. I mean, that was his swag. So his clothing and then his music was good as well. But he had an aura. And you could just feel it in his shows. And like, I wanted to ask you this one quick thing. So do you remember the Dave and Buster show like back in 2014

in Nashville? I mean, it was a venue way too small for you. And dude, there were cop cars. There was security called in. Dudes were flipping tables. I think that's really where you started to feel how big you were that you were bigger than the venues you were playing in, right? Yeah, that's the first time I'd seen

any, like, excitement from people about the music and it was uh yeah it was outside the uh the dave and busters and uh that yeah i think you're right that was um because i mean i hang out at that mall i go to that mall all the time and i like so i'm standing there all the time and then i'm in that same environment and then there are barriers and you know lots of people in the parking lot and everybody's singing along to the song so um it was a wild that was a wild moment dude that's where i got the first taste and i was like oh my god don't say you got the first taste dude see it was all good like we felt it it was pretty good mature, but first taste feels weird.

First taste of love. The best part about that. But it's right here to say first taste. Yeah. That time in Ray's life is on Instagram. He posts this photo of David Busters, 2014. He's like, me and Sam. But it's like Ray in the front of the picture, and then all these people.

And then Sam is in the very back. And he's like circling Sam's head. And he's like, my first photo with Sam. Yeah, that's where it started. Yeah, I never met him. And then I went to your show in 2017 in Nashville at Ascend. And that's when you would run through the audience. you still do at your shows.

And it was insane. I reached my hand out, got a high five. You touched him during the show? Yeah. And because he came right by my row and I was with my friends and they're all like, oh my gosh, you touched Sam Hunt. And girls were ripping his shirt and stuff.

And you still do that to this day. You run in the crowd at your last show at Bridgestone. Yeah. I mean, that's a security thing. A lot of artists do that, right? I'm a lot bigger than most of the crowds, most of my fans. So 2017, that was his second taste? I don't know.

I don't know how many tastes had, to be honest with you went away a little bit. You had a little Dave Chappelle moment where you weren't touring. What's your favorite song of all time in your life? Favorite song, not just period, all music that's ever been invented? I mean, it's definitely Sam. Yeah, which one? Okay, so it is the same song. I mean, the one

that made me leave downtown. I lived on First Avenue in Dummbrian and Broadway. I moved from downtown to west because of your song Downtown's dead. Because I was like, I got to get out of the city. The tour, the locked up tour starts in June. Tickets to Samhunt.com. The new EP is locked up. It just came out.

and, you know, Ray is a massive fan, but we're going to leave that boundary, right? Yeah, yeah. Cool. I mean, we chilled in Vegas together. We chilled in Nashville together. We're chilling together if you have to get a pass to go meet him. No, no, we were hanging out, dude.

Oh, I got a question. I got a question. Yeah, go ahead. Ray, I guess, messaged Sam on Instagram with, like, on a snow day or something. Did you remember seeing that, Sam? I did see that, yeah. Did you really want him to come over because he said he was going to, like, bring a six or, what was it?

Yeah, so I didn't know. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know if he would take me up on it or not, but I didn't think he would. But if he'd shown up, then, yeah, we could have made a day of it for sure. Oh, my God.

Sam, don't know. Oh, my gosh. He will. He'll talk about this for six months now. Okay. The new EP's locked up. Obviously, the tour's the locked up tour. Samhunt and go to Samhunt.

And go to Sam, appreciate you, buddy. Thank you very much. Ray, you did pretty good. Yeah. It took a minute for it to come out, but you got your taste. That was dope. That's dope.

Yeah. All right. There is. Sam Hunt, everybody. Nice job. So this is Alex from Bakersfield, California. I just had a question in regards to your interviews whenever you have the artist. If you've ever had or like encountered a bad artist,

meaning like you just wanted to end the interview right then and there. Love the show. Yes. Yeah, and it's not always that it's a bad artist or somebody that's not nice. Sometimes I can tell the A, they're sick and they, and there have been artists, I will give an example, because I know she won't care. Megan Maroney came in. I was sick one time.

and she was a champ to even come in and I was like, you do not have to sing. You do not have to sing. Like, we're going to go on the air, but you don't have to sing. And she was like, no, no, no, no. But I could tell she didn't feel good. So I kind of wrapped that a little earlier than I would

because I know that she was just gutting it out. Now, that's the positive side of it. But there are also people that have come in. Oh, there have been people that have been really nice, but really bad too, where I don't want to expose them anymore for being a really bad, live singer and I wish I wouldn't have asked him to perform live or that they said I'll perform live and I'm like sure I've never heard you perform

like that's happened what about like a conversation where you're just not getting much from them you know I'm okay with that sometimes I'm okay with that but do you cut that on short yes if I my key this is a tip for anybody that has any interview ever is just sit in silence like if you have so awkward though if you have like the patients and you have, it's hard. You've got to be strong to do it. But if somebody's not giving you something and we're on the air and I just sit in silence

for a second, they feel the pressure to talk. So I'll do that some. And then if they're not, but again, they can just be having a bad day. But I can tell you rarely anymore does anybody come in here that's a jerk? Because we kind of know who the jerks are and we kind of don't have them on the show anymore. So have I ended interviews early because of certain factors? Absolutely.

Have I gotten to fights with people back in the old days? Absolutely. But we kind of have it curated to, like we know who's fun to talk to, it's fun to be around. And if one of those people come in and they're not in a great mood or great spirit or they're not feeling well, I'm happy to cut it early. Or I'm happy to say, hey, don't perform. I know you're not feeling well.

But the days of people coming in just being awful are kind of over. And I only have two or three instances of me kicking people out of the studio. There are some people where we're like, I wonder what we're going to get today. Like we're going to get this kind of? Because they're all over the place. The thing about artists, even to pursue art and music or, well, any art, you got to have a screw loose. And usually when it's the right screw loose, they become famous, successful. But sometimes that right screw sometimes plays and they come in and they're a little out of there.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. Three out of four millennial parents think that they are currently doing a better job with their kids than their own parents did with them. That's 75% of us, basically. I would think we learn more about the past, just generally. It could be parenting. It could be being a boss. It could be even athletics, running. We can learn by all the things that were done wrong before us and try to get better.

And then with parenting, I wonder too. I think parents in general are a little softer now and a little more trying to be emotionally available. I agree with that. And before. Yeah. Because we learned, not because our parents did anything wrong, they did the best to their knowledge, that maybe hitting and making me go pick a switch, whooping the crap out of me. Sorry, guys, I'm going to the wrong direction. I'll have a little trauma.

Sorry, sorry. But would you say that there's something to do that? Yeah, I mean, for me, I learned in therapy. I didn't even know emotional neglect was a thing. Because I felt like I had good parents. I mean, yeah, they got divorced and whatnot. But they both were good parents to me. Like, I don't have any crazy.

Probably in their best way possible. Right, right, right. But I did not realize how emotionally shut off both of them were. Like, they just were not available to me in that way at all. And I bet you they didn't know, as compared to their parents, they were emotionally shut off because their parents were even more. Exactly. Yeah. Like they were already doing better than, yeah, what their parents offered them.

Well, I would think as being, you know, not a parent and knowing everything about parenting that if you just try, you're winning. Don't give up. I don't know. I just say, I don't know about parents. I mean, okay. There are four parenting strategies that we're using that our parents didn't, and I'll quickly run through them. Gentle parenting, which is sort of what you were.

Sometimes you get a little too gentle, though. Exactly. I think that there's. There's no right line, though. You can't walk that line exactly right. And then we're open to getting advice. We're open about mental health, and we are more present with our kids. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I think we try to be a little more present everywhere because we're not present at all because of all the things that we're all the social media, I'm like my dad was never home, like physically present. Yeah. I'm always home. And when my dad was around me, he was always on his cell phone. Well, you guys had different jobs. Okay, go ahead.

Okay, so if you're afraid to declutter your home, you're not alone. It's an overwhelming task. And like 40% of people that were surveyed about it were like, yeah, no, I'm too scared. I'm just not going to do it. I'm just going to live this way. I went to a, like an antique warehouse two days ago. My wife's like, hey, we should go to this place. And I was like, yeah, sure, whatever.

And we go, and I'm disinterested in antiques. But antiques not what I think of antiques nowadays. I just old tables from 1940 that look great. There's some awesome stuff there. Like, people just have, like, shirts. Like vintage shirts, had records. That's cool, yeah. They had, like, I bought an Edison bus.

Do you know what the bust? The head. Yeah. I bought it because I love bust now. I, like, painting them to be, like, Razorack people. So I bought it Edison We walked around this thing And my wife's like

I think we should We can go now And I'm like Are you kidding me This is the greatest Like flea market That's what I would call It's like a flea market

That I've ever been to And so the problem is Now we gotta declutter All the crap that I wanted Exactly I would say this With decluttering in general Say it Amy

Say but the elephant thing Oh how do you eat an elephant One bite at a time To declutter your whole house To look at it like that It's like trying to run a marathon You can't do it all in a day you got to slowly do a little bit here.

Okay, finish the bedroom. Got to do a little bit here. Go and go to the bathroom today. Problem is you clut up the bedroom again while you're in the bathroom. You got to make sure you don't do that. Yeah. As long as you do it and you kind of sectioned it off, you can accomplish anything. It's like when I used to run.

I used to run tree to tree. I couldn't run 10 miles at a time running, doing a triathlon. If I did that, I was like, I got to run 10 miles today. Dead. But if I go, I can run to that tree only, good. Then I quit. That's tree. All right, that's it.

Real simple is magazine. that's Martha Stewart's. She put out a whole thing like that. You can do it. A magazine called Real Simple. Yeah. Are magazines still a thing? Or online. You can follow them on social.

Yeah, I feel like those are just one. Those are like the antique store. The only one. Yeah. Well, that's their whole thing. You can declutter in a month. Just tackle it. One week, do living room.

Week two, kitchen. Week three bedrooms. We four bathrooms. I'm going to move it from one room to the other. I'm like, I'm going to declutter the kitchen. And then we move it to another room. I'm like, oh, God. I'm cluttered the garage now.

Oh, Barton, the garage is terrible right now. Honestly. So I saw a funny thing from back in the day. This is a throwback from 1991 when the highway men were being interviewed. And the reporter said, hey, like, are y'all all teamed up together for this? Because you can't sell tickets individually to your shows? You know who the highwaymen are, by the way? Can you name them one?

Whalen Jennings. How about this? Willie. Yeah, I know Willie. How about this? Hello, hello. Good night. Hello, prison.

It's me. Johnny Cash. Good. How about this? How about this? My name is Chris Christopherson. Chris Christoperson. Okay, good. You got them on.

Okay, good. What's the clip here? This is Wayland Jennings, answering the reporter's question about whether or not they're just on tour because they can't sell tickets individually. One critic, at least one critic, probably more critics have suggested it's because none of you can now fill the halls anymore on your own

that it takes four of you. How do you answer a critic like that? How kind of you to point that out? I might point out that I sell out smaller venues. I'll tell you, one more point, too, that if you ask another question like that, we'll burn your home. And they really would. They would. They're outlaws. They burn that outlaws. I'm Chris Christopherson. That's a pretty good impression. That's really good, dude. Thank you. I've been working on that.

Could you imagine a little Brett like that today? I mean, obviously he's joking. You know, they parented different back then to reporters. I mean, that's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. Tell me something good. They always ask, what can FedEx do for you? April Chaconne is a driver for FedEx in Horizon City, Texas. Wait, is it what can the Brown do for you?

Not FedEx? It is the Brown. It's a whole different company. Whatever, just go with it, guys. No, no, I started to wonder if I was crazy. No, it's what can the Brown do for you. Okay. Anyway.

Anyway. April Chacon is driving for FedEx and she's driving her regular route, dropping packages, here you go, here's this, here's that. and all of a sudden she sees someone house on fire. And so what does she do? She gets on the phone. Calls 911 says, hey, there's a fire. We need you.

And she doesn't stop there. She goes and knocks on the door and tells them. Then she gets the neighbor's garden hose and she starts shooting it with water. That's crazy. Now she didn't completely extinguish the fire. We talked about that though. You got to do a lot of thumb pushing. Yeah.

They said her actions limited the damage. That's good. I mean, that's all, I mean, in risky, you got to go grab a, there's fire happening. Yeah. And your thumb's probably going to sore for pushing the water real hard, making that flat. And now she's probably going to be delayed on the delivery route. And by the way, it's where now meets next and the world on time. That's FedEx.

What the Brown can do. That's not the same company at all. But it doesn't matter, though. Doesn't matter. Let's not get lost in what the slogan. Well, no, you said what they said. Yeah, here are you right. We're just going to get corrected.

I'm the one that gets corrected. mess up and that's fine. I just want everybody know I knew. Yeah, I knew. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Hey, thank you, April for Chaconne for delivering packages and saving house fires. Boom. Or stopping house fires. Hey, saving a fire. The world's

on time or something like that. All right, there you go. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. This is Julian Edelman, host of games with names. On our latest episode, we got comedian Blake Anderson from workaholics and The Hilarious. This is

important podcast. Let's go. We did beat him in improv. You had an improv against the team? Yes, we would pull up their schools, would be there with signs for us. It's competition.

Open your free I-Heart radio app. Search the Cito Show. And listen now. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans,

a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's a voicemail we got. Go ahead. So I've seen a post about this lady who was a teacher that got fired for using her sick days and going to a concert in Nashville.

I'm just wondering if it was the same one that you talked about on the show. Let me know. Yeah, I saw that too. No, it's not. I was like, did we do this? So was I. And I was like, oh, no. I thought I was going to have to, like, call the superintendent and beg for her job back.

Yeah. Different lady. This lady went to Drake. Oh, the Drake show. I'm not going to be calling a superintendent for Drake. Drake might. He's been giving people money his shows. But I also thought because of the lady that called us and said the same thing.

That had been so funny slash terrible, though. That's a crazy story, though, huh? Yeah. They find out, and then it makes the news. Like, a lot of things have to happen. I mean, this is such a dumb story to make the news, but it's all over the place. All right, let's get over to the morning corny. The morning corny.

What's a mama bear's favorite baseball team? Cubs. The Cubs. That was the morning corny. That was easy. Well, my tone was me wondering, there's got to be more to this than just the cubs. Right. That should have been a level.

Level one investigative corny. My bad. Wait, do you tear the investigator corny? Of course. I normally start with level five, so hoping you'll do it. Oh, so you do it the opposite way. Oh, interesting. And then if we get to the end, they're easier because she has none left.

Okay, I like that better than her. Like setting us up. The days you run through like five or six of them, I'm like, well, there goes my jokes for the week. No, that's smart. We take our whole list of material. Yesterday, lunchbox said we have until Thursday to admit something. on the air where he's going to put us on blast, which I guess my thinking is why would you admit it

if it's going to be put on blast anyway? Because if you admit it and then it wasn't that, then you lose two. So what can you give us as kind of a gift if we admit it? You will feel better in your heart? I don't care about that. Okay. What if we admit it to you privately? Then I won't say it. It'll just disappear.

That's not true. It'll disappear. I don't trust him when he says that. So you're saying if we admit to you something and it happens to be what you're going to put on blast on Thursday show, you will not put it on blast. Correct. Okay.

Do you believe him? Nope. Zero percent chance. What is this audio clip you have? Yeah, there is a police officer that lives in my neighborhood. I see a patrol car parked out front all the time. So I went to get his opinion on the situation. And you told him, though, but it's not.

Yeah, I didn't tell him. Before I recorded, I told him what it was. And I said, it's okay if we record, but don't say what it is. Got it. Okay. Here we go. All right, what are your credentials? So I've been a police officer for nine years.

Okay, so I told you what it is before we started recording. As a man of the law, the protector of our city, if you saw what I told you, tell me what would happen. Absolutely. So I would approach the person, get their idea out, and just out of respect for everyone else in this world, I'd either give me a tick or take them in jail. So when you see someone in society doing this, what do you think is a police officer of that person? World's better without him. What?

The world's better without him? What? Could it be? Do you think he told him the true thing? Did you make up some story? Did you tell him the true thing? Told him the true thing. And if we admit this in an email to you privately, you will not put it on blast.

Nope, it'll disappear. Or. Oh, go in the delirited. deleted folder. Or what you could do is, you could say what it is but not say who it is. Therefore, that person's not in trouble. So our listeners aren't shafted fully. Gosh.

I mean, the cop said he could either give you a ticket or take you to jail. I know. It could be anything. And the world would be better off without you. It's like insider trading and then somebody goes to jail from this bit. So nobody has anything. Does they want to email to lunchbox? The thing is, I don't trust lunchbox with an email either.

I'm going to check my email. inbox No nothing Yeah it seems as though you'd want to write it on a piece of paper and then chew it up and swallow it Oh I got a new one

It says alert notification Oh no it says I haven't completed some action I'm supposed to work Morgan anything? No unless he like saw me Do what? Yeah do what Yeah

What did I see you do? Unless he saw you do what? He always brings stuff about me driving You know what I mean? So like I don't know if he saw me driving and that's something But a cop would take you to jail? I don't know.

The world would be better without you driving? That's all I can possibly think of. I mean, yeah, maybe. Okay, so nobody's going to come out right now, but you do have the opportunity to email him, so do I. I don't know that it's not me. Still, my email box is open right now, open for business. And if he doesn't get it by Thursday, so this is what I think it'll be. He'll still say what it is, but he won't say who it is.

But it's your chance to get it out there. Yeah. Everybody good? Yeah, we're good. I think. Okay. Everybody's got that uneasy feeling in their stomach right now. I don't.

I just am confused as to what it could be. Because I don't think it's me. Is it something you can go to jail for in retro? Well, you hurt? No, no. He said if he... And what? Like statute of limitations, is it?

Not a, not I did ask. If we admit to it, could they come arrest us now? Or is it have to be witnessed? What is it? From Ray. Says, screw you. Got him. Dang.

Morgan, what are we going to say? Does it involve, can I ask, like, does it involve, like, obviously it's somebody on the show, but does it involve somebody else on the show, or is it just that one person? You tell me? What do you want to admit to it? I don't want to admit, but there is something that I am aware of, and that I guess it could be into this. But it's not about you? It's not about me.

It doesn't have anything to do with me. Like two people on the show being involved in something? Potentially, yeah. Well, he wouldn't do it on the show. I wouldn't spread. I wouldn't tell him. I'm not going to me. Go on email.

Let me see if that's what it is. A ticketable offense. Potentially, yeah. Oh, send that one to me. Tickitable? But, like, I don't, if it is something he's aware of, I don't want to tell anybody yet. Right. So after the bit, I'll say if this is what it was.

Okay, everybody, you have your time. Okay. Two days from now. He's going to put it on blast if nobody. 48 hours. Is that countdown on the website yet? Yep, it is. Yep.

Let's go. That's all we got. Nothing else, everybody? No. The draft is the most soothing sounds. We spun the wheel before. Amy gets the first overall pick. Amy, most soothing sounds draft.

What do you got? Waves crashing. Oh, that's definitely number one. That's so good too because like there are sounds that play waves crashing to actually put you to sleep. Right. Got it. Good, waves.

Going over to lunchbox. Lunchbox soothing sounds. Oh, yeah, you ever sat on the back porch in the morning right when the birds start chirping. Birds chirping. Have you? Yeah. Okay. Kids are up early on the weekends, man.

Birds chirping. Eddie, I'm going to do same with the water, but I'm going to do a river flowing. Okay. Definitely a difference in wage crashing river flowing. You know that sound. All right, Morgan, over to you, soothing sounds. Yeah, I cannot believe it made it all the way to me also in water, but I'm going to Going rainfall, listening to the rain.

That's really good. Rainfall, okay? Yeah, yeah. I didn't have that one, Morgan. I'm going to wait, and I don't think anybody's going to take mine. My main one. So I'm going to hold off and take another strong one. And maybe get mine in round three unless someone gets it.

I'm going to go with, and the soothing sounds draft. I'm going to do it. I'm not going to let it slip. I'm going to do, and it's a bit more specific than Morgan's, but rain on a 10 roo. That's good. That's it. I have that. Good job.

On a summer night. Yeah. We change it. Rain on a tin roof is my. I'm mostly thinking, I live in a camper for about two years. And I always liked it when it rained because... All right, that's round one. Amy had waves.

Lunch had birds chirping. Eddie had river. Morgan had rainfall and I had rain on a tin roof. All right, so I'll go first in the second round. Now I could pander a bit, which I know is a great sound to everybody else, but not me. And that would be pandering. Like trying to present something that I know people like. Yeah.

Do it, though. I mean, I'm sure we can all agree on something that sounds soothing. Like, unless you do like nails on a chalkboard. Oh, I don't know, man. It's so pandery. I'm not going to do it. I'll tell you what it was later. Okay.

I don't want to pander. So I'm going to go with soothing sounds, sizzling fajitas or bacon. Dang. That's a good sound. Okay. Let's go over to Morgan. All right. You know, it's like really cool.

cold out and you always put one of these on. It's a crackling fireplace. That's good. She got me. That's a good one. That's what I wanted. I might pander when it comes back to me. I might need to pander. I need to call an audible. She took mine. Eddie?

Um. Oh, there's another good one that should do. Okay, okay. Okay. For my number two pick, I'm going with Thunder on the Horizon. All right, Garth. Thunder on the horizon Because you don't want it right over you

Because that's scary That's not soothing You wanted them on the horizon And also the words Thunder on the horizon Just sounds soothing too Just the words It's beautiful man

Lunchbox we're drafting The soothing sounds Go ahead Yeah guys Soothing sounds You want something that'll make you relax And put a smile on your face Make you feel at ease

Is that what you're looking for here Because it's baby giggles A baby giggling. Okay. Sweet. That is sweet. Is this lunchbox talking? It's AI lunchbox.

Like two weeks ago, the real one, we cut them. Got this one for half fries. Amy? A cat purring. There's nothing sweeter. A dog pooping. No, there's nothing sweeter than a cat purr. Okay.

Okay, okay, okay. Amy, you have wage crashing and a cat purring. We start with you now in the third round, the final round. I know. Drafting. soothing sounds go ahead yeah I feel like I'm sort of stuck here for a second because you have so many because I have so many

oh no because I have like none oh I'm out I'm dry dude I mean crackling fire and that's like 40 I'm trying to pump the wall and nothing's coming out hook your girl up wait no it doesn't work like that yeah it does who says there are no rules we said okay go with this lunchbox farting that's a good one It's soothing to him.

I mean, Go ahead. Lunchmog's whispering. Okay. Is that your answer to this? That you love him so much? No. No.

When do you hear him whisper? There are theories behind the scenes of these two. Oh, stop. Not romantic theory. Not real, but theories. There's nothing. There's nothing. Okay, go ahead.

Oh, my gosh. Okay, let's go with, hmm. I think just any whisper. A whisper. Okay. All right. What are you saying?

I'm not going to win? But I got waves crashing. I know. Sometimes people only vote on the first round. I hear you. Lunch marks. Oh, do you want a noise? That makes you feel good. Is he the calm map right now?

Go ahead. Puts a smile on your face. It's that crunching of snow. Snow crunching. In your mouth or feet? Oh, feet. When you're walking on that snow, it's... Got it.

Oh, it's awesome. You're not going to say he's a loss with that. It's way better than whisper. What? Stop whispering. Snow crunching. Snow crunching can't be. I'm not saying it's great, but snow crunching can't be creepy.

People love ASMR. Whispering can. Or AMSR or whatever. Eddie? Oh, man. All right. That was pretty dry. The well was dry, but I got something.

Go ahead. I'm going to go with wind chimes. Oh, that's annoying. What are you talking about? Yeah, my neighbor has one. Especially if your neighbor has it. Rip it down. Don't ruin my pick.

I want to just slam them. You don't like wind chimes? Eh. Eddie, that was actually good, dude. I got to be honest with you. Maybe it's from. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what we like.

Ranch in Texas. That's wind. You could have just said like a large guest to wind. You didn't wait for the time, man. My bad, my bad, my bad, my bad. All right, Morgan, you have rainfall in a crackling fireplace. Yeah, and I'm deciding between two that are, yeah. I don't know if people get one of them.

Soothing sounds. It's a draft. Soothing sounds. Go ahead. I think I'm going to go with this because, like, if you ever go and get a massage or you go get your nails done, this is, or even, just kind of hanging out in the lobby or somewhere, this is what you're hearing, and it kind of calms you down.

It's soft jazz music. Soft jazz music. Okay. So I'm the last one so I can go through a bunch of mine, since nobody can steal it. A couple of mine that I like, and some of them are specific to just me, but I like a basketball swooshing through the net, nothing but net. That's a good one. That's a comfortable one.

I like the opening riff of the national anthem. It's a soothing sound. Dun, nah, nah. Yeah. Okay. I like a golf ball going into a hole. Oh, that's nice. I like

Well, I like my Stanley's asleep But that's snoring, my wife would not agree She hates that sound He's loud He's loud The one that I was gonna pander with Is the Crack on a cold one

Oh But see, that's okay though Because even though you don't drink Hearing somebody go It's pretty soothing Especially if it's you though doing it Oh it's the best man Friday night

Or coffee pouring into a cup That sound I can't do my mouth The liquid hitting sound That's pandering Because you hate coffee But at least I've had had it.

We should have done heavy rain. Never popped. Well, we have two rain ones anyway. She does heavy rain on a not tin roof. I have the bell at the end of class. Nice. Like you said because class is over. I have silence.

That is soothing. Do it. Especially when you have four kids. Silence is a strong one. I have Chris Stapleton's voice. Okay. Oh, that is soothing. I don't know, man.

When he screams, though, it's not very soothing. But none of those, I'm not going to do any of those. I'm going to do crickets at night in the summer. Yeah, that's awesome. Ugh. What do you mean? Crickets. The sound of summer night?

Just because you said whisper and we all laughed, don't take it out on me. You don't like the sound of nighttime outside? Nighttime summer outside, crickets. Like, that is awesome. It's basically their form of whispering. Yeah, the crickets are whispering, and that's what you're hearing. So it's like a double. Okay.

So those are our teams. Go vote to bobbybones.com. We'll have a winner after you guys vote, but we will not attach our names to them. If you listen to this, you know basically who they are, but we don't want you to go vote based on the first round or the person you like the most. But Amy has waves.

Crashing, waves crashing. We have cat purring and somebody in a white van whispering to a kid. Very soothing. It's like this. Exactly what we said. Kid. A kid. Luckbox has birds chirping.

he has baby giggling and he has snow crunching. Who is this guy? Eddie has river roaring, rushing, flowing, thunder on the horizon and wind chimes. Morgan has rainfall, crackling fireplace and soft jazz. So good. So good. Morgan sounds like she wants a man over to the house.

All right. All of them do. They're soft music. Soft jazz with the fireplace. That's true, Eddie. Morgan is like a fan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, gosh.

A deep voice telling you to come a little closer. You can add that. Yeah, and then me, I have rain on a tin roof, sizzling fajitas or bacon, or crickets at night in the summertime. Vote on the soothing sound team you like the best. Good job, everybody. Thank you. I don't know how I feel on my team. Yeah.

I may have blown it with that wind chime. Yeah, we all hit on that one pretty hard. We hit on that one. We hit on Amy's Whisper. Oh, yeah. Yeah. A lot of people have wind chimes, though. That's true.

A lot of people are annoying because if they're too close to somebody else. This is Julian Edelman, host of Games with Names.

If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures,

it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids.

They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money. flowing through them.

And there's already a guy there fighting the fire. It's a local neighbor. He's got his ebbled. FD and Y gear on? Got a FDNY. Yeah, he had. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

How would you say? No, no, I was just saying this. He's in North Carolina. Yeah, he's in North Carolina. I know that. FDNY. Okay, I get it. Go ahead.

And he had his garden hose and he refused. He was like, no, no, no, guys, I got this. I'm a firefighter. They're like, no, no, no, we have real hoses. We need you to, like, back. But he had FDNY on. Yeah, he had bought it off the internet. He had wanted to be a firefighter.

And so he was, wouldn't leave, so I had to arrest him for, uh. they should have just sprayed him with the hose Oh my goodness Yeah Like I have to do it my dog sometimes That's power You put your thumb over the top of it With one of those fire hoses

You just pull that little lever back Oh yeah That would be so they arresting him Yeah but what I do realize now Like I used to think that also is like Why don't people just put it out with a garden hose Because TV it makes it like the fire It's not that big

It's like oh can we put out real easily Does TV do that And now I realize that man I feel like it's quite big And also the hose only goes so far has so much strength, and you can only push so hard to your thumb to get that extra. I've seen people try to put out fires with the hose. It does

nothing. Small fires? Maybe. Not really, man. I know. I know. I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. I got a lot of nicknames. One of them, Mr. Mocktail. I never heard that one. I call myself that.

When we go into a place, I'm like, look, Mr. Mocktail is going to tell you what Mocktail to order, and it's going to be a little awkward when they come and give us the menu. Here's all your wines. And I'm like, well, do you have any moktales? But Mr. Mocktale. here for you. For example, Jake Owen, a really good friend of mine, stop drinking. Has it, you know, and so he's

now drinking mocktails. And I'm like, what do you call the wine person? A solomulelele. Salamane. How do you say? I don't know. I don't either. Somalia. There you know. I thought there was the country where like Sally Struthers would be like, donate money. Yeah, that's Somalia.

Got it. Somalia. So, that person, I'm that person for mocktails. And I can be like, what you want? You want just a little bit of, is ginger beer, not beer. Oh, yeah, I didn't think it was real beer. I did for a long time. Is that good?

Have you had that? Yeah, it gives it a little burn. That's what's in a Moscow mule. No idea. However, I've never been carded for a moktail because who gets carted for a moktel? It's mock. Amy got carted for a moktail. What?

Yeah. And actually, Caitlin, she ordered one too. I was with her. She got carted. And we were all, like, so confused. and like what this is from the the moktail part but it said it was made with zero proof alcohol so it tastes as if it's got the alcohol in it okay i would get that a bit then and then also the way when we asked the server about it she made it seem as like also if it looks like we're handing

you alcohol we just like to cover our bases of like that we were carding everybody no matter what maybe it's the luke brian the luke brian bar thing where the kid disappeared turns out the bar was not a big factor of it, but maybe everyone now is a little tighter because of how vigilant they have to be. Yeah, they kind of gave us like a, just go with it, wink, wink, show us your ID. Weird. But what was weird is that Bobby, like, has never had a sip of alcohol. And they said that there is like 0.000-1, whatever of alcohol in there.

So I'm like, well, what if you order a moktail that has zero proof? But I've had kombucha. Okay. Like, there are things that have alcohol in it that's not enough to be what alcohol is used for. Extract. Yeah, vanilla extract. Isopurl. You ever had rum cake?

Do a little shot of that. A little isoporubing alcohol. Stop. That's not good, dude. Rum cake. I'm not sure because I don't know what cakes are anymore. If you told me coffee cake's not

flavored like coffee, do you eat the cake with rum or is it taste like rum? I don't know. Coffee cake just goes with coffee. No, I know. I've learned that. It's the dumbest thing you ever heard.

I thought it was flavored like coffee, so I never even tried to taste it. Because I don't like coffee. So does rum cake taste like rum? You eat that cake while you drink rum. I think they use rum to make that cake. Then that'll be fine. You can cook stuff.

Yeah, and it evaporates the alcohol. It's like when there's a steak, like a Jack Daniel's steak. Yep. At first I was like, I don't want to get drunk on meat. I never had alcohol. Turns out they cook it. That goes. But having zero proof alcohol to me is like having boxing gloves made a paper.

What's the use? Oh, well, some people really like the taste and the flavor if they're used to it. Like the zero proof beers or whatever. But beers I get. Okay. But if it's just an alcohol, like a vodka, that doesn't even, you don't even taste that. Do you? No, but say you want like a margarita.

That has tequila in it, but you don't want the alcohol of tequila, but you want the taste of that margarita. Exactly. And you're, I think Amy's right. It's for someone that probably wants that alcohol taste, but they quit drinking. Because like if I've never had alcohol, I don't want a tequila margarita. Yeah, you're not going to start just being like, oh, I can't wait to try a zero-proof beer. Yeah, yeah, that's not good. That doesn't taste good.

No, beer smells like pee. I like, there's, I don't see there's any way I would drink that once or even twice be like, hmm, this tastes good. I feel like it'd be an acquired taste. Kind of like olives are to me. Yeah. Okay. I hated olives.

I eat them all day now. Yeah, because once you have a couple beers, do, they're like, mm. It's like an olive. I like to go out and mow the yard and eat some olives after. A nice cold olive. Yeah, isn't that what you say about beer? Yeah, man. All right, we're out.
