And the dials just keeps on turn And you're heading here Eddie and me lunchbox Morgan 2 School for Steve Reddavit Trying to put you through Backdies right in this week's next bit Now Bobby's on the mic

So you know what this is This is the Bobby Vaughn's Here's a voicemail from Judy Good morning studio Just wanted to touch on the email from the gal that's going to go on vacation with her friend. That's a male and her boyfriend doesn't like it. Every time I've dated any male, I always tell them up front. Look, I got male friends, you got female friends.

I go and do things with my male friends. You can go do things with your female friends because I'm not giving up my male friends for anybody. They were here first and they'll be here last. So I tell her, go ahead and go. And if he has a problem with it, sorry to sad too bad. That is it. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Sorry, so bad Tuesday.

There's Judy. So the story was she would go on work trips and she would stay with her male friend. And her boyfriend was like, I don't feel comfortable with this. Boy, Judy puts it right out there. Like, what are you going to do with your male friends? I'm going to tell you this, whoever you are. Because guys, I know what guys are up to. If it's a single dude, even some dudes in a relationship,

and he's really good friends with you and wants to hang out with you, it's not to keep the friendship alive. Yeah. It's to hold you tight for whenever you, finally agree to do something with him? Or whenever he's free to do stuff with you. Because he can be holding you tight while he's got someone just so if that breaks off, he can go to you.

That is right. A guy never just wants to be friends. Unless you've been friends forever. He could be working on it forever. I'm telling you, 99.9% of the time. Hey, and we're dudes. So you're saying there's a percentage. I'm saying there's a fair.

But Judy, I felt that. You're like, I got my guy friends. We do it. You go do your girl. At least you know who you are. There's value in that. If you say anything up front, it's part of the relationship. It's a boundary.

I respect it. Okay, let's do the morning corny. The morning corny. What did one American flag say to the other flag? What's that? Nothing. It just waved. Boom.

Good one. Boom. That was the morning. Corny. No, you're not going to get it. You're never, never going to get it. All right, here's your question and never going to get it. According to finder.com, most people deal with this within a week.

But 13% of folks deal with it for a full year before they do something about it. What is it? So I'm going to read it again. Most people deal with this within a week. However, about 13% of people don't. wait about a year. So most do fix it. However, a select viewer is psychotic and don't fix it. I can't believe people don't fix this. So here I am. I'm actually adding some color to it. We're playing never going to get it. On the phone now is Derek. Hey Derek, good morning, buddy. Good morning. What's

going on? Hey man, glad you're calling in. You have a chance to win some stuff here. Now, the question is most people deal with this within a week, but some 13% wait a year. You get to guess first. What do you think it is? Most people deal with this within a week. You know what? I think I'm going to say, this might be a little far out there, but I think I'm going to say an earache. Okay.

That's pretty good. Like an earache I always think is going to go away. Yeah, not good to answer. Have it a year. Yeah, it's not right. It's not right. But I like the answer. I like what I was thinking here.

So that's not right. So every member of the show has written down an answer. I'm going to let you pick two of them. And if either one of them get it right, you win the prize. Amy, how do you feel about yours? I feel good. That's it. Who do we feel?

Like, Morgan, I nailed it. Eddie are probably the best of this game. Eddie is terrible in this game. He's got two in a row. That's right. Eddie's got the longest streak in the history of the game. No, that's not true. No, I'm the best.

Okay. So everybody about lunchbox is good at this. Yeah, he always says this one. I got it this time, 100%. All I know is he's one. two in a row. That's all. I did. Yeah, the last two, I won. I'm a short memory. I just rarely claim that I'm the best. I like it, though. Morgan, do you feel pretty good about yours? Oh, yeah. So good because I have done this. Eddie?

I 100% have the answer. 100%. Lunchbox? I guarantee I have the answer. Like, I nailed it. Okay, Derek, so here's the deal. You can pick two members of the show. If they get it right, you get it right. Go ahead. Awesome. So I was going to pick lunchbox, but he seems like too confident right now. Then don't pay me, you'll lose. So, you know, here's the thing. I'm going to go with Eddie, and I'm going to go, and I'm going to go

with Amy as well. Let's box, what you put? Cracked phone. It's a good one. It's a good one. Screening, phone screen. That's good. What do you have?

I have a light out. Eddie, we have. Check engine light. Morgan, what do you have? Cracks phone screen. Who did you pick? Derek, Eddie and Morgan. No, Eddie and Amy.

Wow, the two people he didn't pick, got it. Yeah. That's it. That's it. No. Idiot, idiot. How do you feel? How do you feel? I told you. I told you. That's never happened before. He's too confident. The two people. Yeah. So.

You picked the two that got it. That is unbelievable. Yeah. Like, don't play the lottery today. He's silent. He doesn't know what to say. He may, he may have just hung up. Let me give him another chance here. Yes, such bad luck. I want to give him another chance. I want to give him another chance. Great job, Morgan. Great job. Yeah, good job. You too, you too. That was good. Dang, guys.

Nearly two-thirds of people get nervous when their partner does this. Oh. What is it? Nearly two-thirds of people get nervous when their partner does this. What is it? All right, same thing, Derek. I'm going to go to you, let you think about it for just a second. We're going to play never going to get it.

And two-thirds of people get nervous when their partner does this. What is it? Eddie's streak is now over, Morgan Lunchbox on a one-game streak. We're done here. Nearly two-thirds of people get nervous when their partner does this. What is it? Okay. Derek, I'm coming to you.

I think it's when their partner texts them and says, hey, we need to talk. That's a good one. That's a big one. That's not right. I think that's like 99%. I mean, I think 100% are you nervous. Well, that's good to know that's not right because I wrote down. Can we have a talk?

Two-thirds people get nervous when their partner does this. Does anyone not feel good before I ask you how you feel? Well, I mean, I get nervous when my partner does this. I was confident, and now that I lost the last one, I'm not very confident. Hey, Derek, pick you two players here. You know what? I am going to go with Amy. Okay.

You know what? Here's what it is. I'll go with Lunchbox. I'll give you a chance. Give you a chance. I should let you back in. I'll give you a chance to pick who got it right. So you're refusing to let him pick you?

You know what? Yeah, he can't have me. Dang. We've never had his hat before. Yeah, he was so mean to be the last one. Oh, Derek, he rejected you. He came on with me and mine and then went somewhere else. You can't turn him down.

He turns you down. Wow. Okay, Derek, so you have three people to pick from. Okay, that's fair. You know what? I'm going to pick. I want to pick everyone but lunchbox now. Fair enough.

That's what I want to do. Fair enough. I'll get it. Okay. Amy, what do you have? Drives. Correct. Oh, yes.

Hey, I have drives. Go. Okay. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Derek, you do win.

I got two in row two. Huh. Yeah. I'm on the street. I feel like. No, it does work. You know what? I kind of feel like the participation trophy type of win here.

Yeah, it definitely is. I don't feel great about it. Yeah, you should. You know what? But take it. You know, I'll accept it. Take the W. We're going to give them some crap in the back.

We'll give him a Kenny Chesney vinyl. I'll give him a signed copy of my book, bare bones. I'm not lonely if you're reading this book. And we'll throw some other stuff around the studio in. I can sign it too. I can put it. Just, just Amy? I hope.

I help him win. Drive. But it's my book. You don't write the book. Oh, but I think I wrote, I'm in it a little bit. Interesting. I am. What's happening here?

I don't know. She's voluntarily asking to sign my book. Does Derek want that? Derek, we're just going to sit here some stuff, all right, buddy? Yeah, hey, I appreciate it. Can I say one more thing here? Yeah, give it a rip, dude. I was listening to the show, and I know Morgan is about to give a maid-a-honour speech,

and I just want to give you a quick 10 seconds. story on mine. I gave a best man speech and let me say that it was too good. And now every time someone says, hey, you remember that wedding? Someone says, hey, I remember that speech. And now the couple dislikes the fact that I gave such a good speech at their wedding. Because that's because I got brought up. All right. You know, I'm not trying, I'm not trying to be a narcissist here, but I'm just saying, hey, don't, don't make it too good. I feel bad that I rejected this dude because he sounds like he might be my twin. Like, This dude sounds awesome.

He's like, hey, be careful. If you're like me, you're way too good. Like, dude, let's get him some prizes. Derek, thank you for calling. Lunchbox, good job. Lunchbox is down on a two-game win street. Wow. He wrote it down.

He gets credit for it. Did you let me see? Right there. No, he's got it. No, I believe him. Okay. You may not believe him. I do not believe him.

But I believe him. Congrats to Derek. Congrats to lunchbox. Amy, congrats. You got it. You're on one game streak. I'm sorry. What about me?

I'm going to say two and a half years ago now. Just a video of me saying to cover song, and you had mentioned that I should go out and start playing some shows and stuff. I just wanted to call in and thank you for that because two and a half years later, I've got three songs out, and we're in the middle of a southeast bar tour

that we put together, And I'm having a lot of fun. Well, that's cool, man. So what's your name? People can look up. Jason Arns. It's kind of a funky spelling. It's J-Y-S-O-N-A-R-E-N-D-T.

You thought about changing your name for, for, like, people to search for it. See, I thought about it, but then I was like, you know what? It's a little bit unique, so I might have to keep it. Yeah, yeah, I felt that. I mean, one way or the other. I mean, I probably spell it J-A-S-O-N-A-R-E-N-T, like Jason aren't. But I aren't. Because it's the same name, but then people can look it up.

But hey, and then people can find your house. Couldn't like look up on the internet. But I do like that, dude. That's really cool that, like you're pursuing what your dream is. And I remember this. I remember you being pretty good. And I'm sure just grinding it out on the road, you're getting a lot better. But, man, that's what it's all about.

If you're finding fulfillment, like that is success. So you feel good? Yes, sir. I'm loving it, man. We drive all the way down to Oxford, Mississippi, tomorrow to play down there in Old Miss. You know, it's a whole different lifestyle, for sure, the whole being on the road stuff. It's something that you really have to get used to, but I'm loving it.

Yeah, like chicks and parties, late night. Free beer. No, we stay away from all that stuff. Come on now. Can I be honest? He told us how to spell his name. I can't. That was my point, right?

He said it, and I'm trying to find out. And then you've got to be J.A. capital K, silent M. And I get it. You want to hold true to your name. I use a fake name. I mean, Bobby's my real name, but Bones isn't my real last name. So I think spelling

it's spelling aren't like a normal spelling. You get to keep saying it the same way, but you spell it a little different. And then you're not, when you become a big star, people can't look you up as easy. Like, how do you spell it again? It's like Jason Aldine.

I think Al Dean's his middle name. His middle name's like Aldine or something. Oh, really? Yeah. Smart way to do it. His name is Jason Aldine. Williams. Huh. So instead he's like, I'm gonna keep my name,

be Jason, Al Dean. And so he still gets to feel like it's really him. Isn't Garth's name like Troil or something? Yeah. Troil, yeah. Why don't you go by Garth Arndt? That's a funny name. Or instead of...

Or Garth Arth. Hey everybody, I'm Gartharth. It's a little song I wrote. Like that. Gartharth. Jason, I'm super happy for you. Like, seriously, a lot of people don't have the courage to go and pursue their dreams. And you're doing that right now.

It sounds like, you know, regardless of the work and the travel, that you feel pretty good about it. So that's awesome. Yeah, man, I appreciate it. Think about that name change, though, you know? Garth Arth, they'll be awesome. I'll think on it. Garth is number one. I've already got stuff on T-shirts.

It makes it a little hard to chase. They'll be worth more later. How many T-shirts you got left? I got a bunch. You want some? What's the number? I mean, do you have left? Probably about 100, 150.

You used to play college baseball? Yes, sir. Huh. I was talking to my Instagram right now. I just graduated. I just graduated in June or May, whatever it was. Well, we went down and we played in the Georgia region on Athens. It got beat down there.

But, yeah, it was a good run this year, and now I'm done. I'm done, and I might sneak something to you. I might be playing with the Savannah Bannas here for a little bit. Hey, so outside of that, baseball's over. Where did you play? I played second base in left field And no, but what school? Oh, UNC Wilmington.

And here's what's annoying about it. He's like a good-looking dude, too. Oh, yeah? Yeah, he's an athlete, good-looking dude, can sing. Can't spell his name, though. That's right. Like, that equals at all. Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know, man. I know you have 100 shirts left, but I think you may cut your losses and sell those shirts, but the new ones you order now, you officially change your name to Jason Art. And just spell it normal. What's his Instagram handle?

I tell you, but at J, capital K, WP. Is it just his name? Yeah, with an underscourt at the end. But I still don't know how to spell his last name. Maybe the regular spelling is available or the not. You know what is open? Garthardth. Yes, do it.

At Garthorff. No way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seriously, though, like success to me at this point in my life, success to me is being able to do what I love to do and being able to pay the bills. and if you're able to do that, especially in an art, like you are winning and, you know, in your 20s go as hard as you absolutely can. And I'm super proud for you, man.

Like, I don't remember what you sound like, but I remember you sounded pretty good and me being like, hey, go pursue this if you, you know, have the runway to go do it. So Jason aren't, like, have a day, have a week and change your name. Spell aren't. I appreciate it. A-R-E-N-D-T. The dude's ripped.

No, he's like, it's annoying. Maybe he makes it positive. Like, it's Jason spelled. JASO in and then change it to just are because you are doing not aren't. No, now you're switching it up too much. No, we're positive. Change it to Jason. Change it to Jason can do anything.

Guys, I found it in like two seconds. No, I know, but Jason are. Jason is able to do anything which mind dreams and accomplishes. I like it. Hey, Jason, seriously, congratulations, buddy. Check back in and you know it's end of summer. Savannah bananas. That's a fun baseball team, right?

Yeah, yeah. That'd be cool. He said he might do that. He said he drops a little something. What does that mean? That means he's doing it. They haven't really shared it yet, but that's what it means. Oh, he's letting us in.

Is he good? I forget what he sounds like. The music? I know he has to be good or I wouldn't have. He can sing you a song right now. Doesn't matter. Sometimes it's pretty good. Hey, Jason, chase your dreams.

We sing this little something. Like a cover. It won't matter because you can't really tell. You want me to sing you a little bit of my new song and I just put out there? Yeah, and you can also say the name of the song and everything is good. Go ahead. Well, so this is the latest song that we just dropped. It's called moduli.

Okay. His phone's already cutting out, but see. You were my juice. Yeah, it's like overmodulating, so it's hard. It's hard to sing on the phone. It blew ocean eyes. It hand over to kiss me. There's a little bit of that.

Yeah, I know. The thing is, you sing into the phone that overmodulates. It's unfair. Amy should never ask you to sing on the phone. Yeah, well. Yeah, I know. It's not. It sounded good.

You want me to play some from my computer? Do you have some? I'm on his Instagram. Is your computer even work? He can't do it. He's not logged in. Exactly. I'm not logged in the Instagram.

All right, Jason. Hey, buddy, we appreciate you. Let us know what goes on. We can get free tickets. We're rooting for you. Savannah bananas is cool, but I'm rooting for that country music career. One day, hopefully you get to sit in this studio and play for us.

Yeah. I appreciate it. I hope so too. All right, buddy. Be safe. Thank y'all. I'm so rooting for this guy named Drew Baldridge. His song has now hit the top 10.

It's called she's somebody's daughter. Here's a clip. She's somebody's dog. I didn't know the guy. And so he comes over to the house. I kind of knew his story a bit. I knew his song was doing pretty well. But he comes over to the house and we do an hour-long interview.

And he had a record deal. They just put out a single. And as they put out a single, the label collapsed. Went out of business. So he doesn't have a deal anymore. Single never got put out. And for like three years, he doesn't have a deal or anything. Like just writing songs.

And so he gets married. And, he gets married... And on his honeymoon, he's like, hey, I did this song, but I did a wedding version of it because I just got married and he played it over the top of on TikTok. And it had 10 million views on one night. It's this song right here. 10 million views on one night. And so it goes crazy and it starts to stream like crazy too. But still no record label will sign him.

Even though the song is streaming like crazy, even though it had 10, 15, 20 million views on TikTok, no record label. We'll sign him. But he's making a little money because the song is streaming now. And he's like, I guess I should take this money and then put it. back into promoting the song at radio. So he had to form his own record label. That's awesome. So this is him talking about the support from his wife,

who was cool with him, spending that money. The only money he was really making. Here you go. When I didn't believe in myself, she believed him. And then I go to her and I say, hey, I'm about to sink X amount of dollars into a radio single. She's like, hey, go do it.

You made this money off your song. You believe in it? I believe in it. I can't tell you how lucky I am to have my life. And now playing radio shows going all. We have a 17-month-old. And so she is, rock star mom and it and it's not easy you know there's times i come home she's like i've been here for

five days without you and i'm alone it's a lot and she's been my biggest support system he still has no record label no manager no a i may have a booking agent now but people were still so slow but now he's got a top 10 song and so everybody's like oh oh and i'm like dude screw them all so he gets offers now from labels and he's just like now i'm my own guy well he's gotten so far that unless it's like a great offer. He doesn't really need, he's already got a top 10 song. I'm rooting for him to go number one just because, like, he played 300 backyards. That's how he made money. He drove to people's backyards over two years, played 300 backyards. He talked about three other country artists who have self-funded number one songs similarly. There's been three. There's been Kenny Rogers,

buy her a rose. There was Tracy Lawrence, find out who your friends are. Garth Brooks, ask me how I know, because he had that pearl label. And he hit me right back. He's like, you would be the, if you have a number one, you'd be the first artist in the history of country music to self-fund their first number one. I don't know it's not everything, but just like, been here for 13 years and never had a number one record or anything. That's, that would be really cool. I'm rooting for the guy. Come on. It's an inspiring story.

The whole interview, it's an hour long. You can hear it on the Bobbycast, but like, I'm in, this dude, this dude's wife, like, she believed in him. He believed in himself. He got in his car and drove in people's backyards all over the country. to just play to just to have some money in order to keep spending it on the record label that now calls radio stations that actually it's him he just shows up at radio stations he would just show up at places and be like hey can i come in like nobody booked ahead for him he didn't have a label he just show up do you remember we talked about him a few years ago because he popped up on my algorithm nope yeah and i think he called in or something or we talked about and played his music yeah yeah yeah like a couple years ago i talked about these two artists that kept popping up on my algorithm don't know how they got here whatever but he stuck drew bald or Here he is now. Here he is. He's got a top 10.

A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

This began a years-long court battle to prove the 23. truth. You doctored this particular test twice in so-ins, correct? I doctored the test

once. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Grega lesbian, Michael Marantini. My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at Americopa County as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges. This isn't over until justice is served in Arizona.

Listen to Love Trapped podcast on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. His name's Richard Casper. He's walking in the studio now. He is a United States Marine veteran, a Purple Heart recipient. He's created creative vets to help other veterans in their journey from the military. I want you to hear a story because it is so good.

He's done so much good and he's continuing to do it. And he's coming in now. Here we go. All right. Richard Casper is here with Creative Vets. We met at a music festival once. Love what you do. First, I do want to talk about you specifically.

You are a Marine veteran. You're a Purple Heart recipient. Those two right there, massive themselves. Do you talk much about the Purple Heart? I don't talk much. I talk about my injuries a lot just because the space I'm in. Can you talk about the injuries? Yeah, and I mean, I used to not be able to,

and that was the whole issue around not wanting to. And if you look at me, I'm 6'5. Oh, you definitely woke my butt for sure. Yeah, for sure. And even back when I came home, I mean, I had more sleevel shirts and I did shirts with sleeves on it. I had a Harley, and I was very intimidating, and I didn't want to cry in front of people.

and so I wouldn't talk about it. I would never talk about it. I didn't want people to know I had a brain injury. I would try to play it cool, like the tough guy, Marine thing, until I learned that I really had to talk about it or I was going to blow up. So for you, it was a need for your own sake, more than anything else. Yeah, and when I witnessed my buddy dying in Iraq beside me,

and that was the biggest issue, I wanted everyone to know that he lived. Not that he died, but that he lived. And I was meeting people, and I wanted to say it, but I couldn't because I knew I'd cry. So at the end of the day, I was like, what if I could put this into a song and just give it to you and walk away? Now, I don't have to cry. You get to know he lives.

Because, again, your songwriter, you're an entrepreneur, you're super creative. Did that part of you happen after the creative? Or were you creative even in the military? I doodled a lot. I had a lot of downtime, so I doodle a lot. But I wasn't creative as much. And they said that because I have a left traumatic brain injury that my right brain kicked in. So it was one of those things that you see in a movie where, you know, you get blown up all saying you play peasant.

you play piano. Yeah, after the injuries, I became massively creative. There's still a lot of my short-term memory issues and migraines and all that stuff was obviously heightened. But the way I think about things now is, and I call it, I have a simple brain, so I have simple solutions, a lot of things. But it's remarkable what I was able to accomplish after I came home. Did it feel weird?

Did it feel different? Like noticeably different with a different part of your brain, being in use, more, more focused on that side on what it does. Could you actually feel a difference? I don't know if I felt the difference, but I felt so much more comfortable and more creative, artistic experiences. Like when I went to school, I took art as a cop-out degree because I didn't want to talk to people. My anxieties were so bad. I had to do one-on-one speech with my speech teacher in college.

And so I decided to take art so I wouldn't have to talk to anybody. I was like, these kids won't want to talk to me. I don't want to talk to them. But then when I was in there and I was starting to express myself through art in very creative ways, and they'd all come to me and talk to me like I've been an artist my whole life. I felt super weird because it felt comfortable to be in that space now before it didn't. And we're going to get to a whole check presentation and talk about everything that Richard does for others. Because, I mean, you have a big impact now.

And I think you had to find the way for your own impact to then create a way for others to make their impact. Yeah, put your mask on before you put someone else's on. Yeah, like if the planes, you know, you lose oxygen, put yours on first. So you come back and all of a sudden, you know, you get on. you feel more creative or you have a desire to create? You started writing songs? No, it was that I need to express myself. I don't know how.

I have a brain injury. I can't learn new skills. And all these things are going through my head. If zero was taking my own life and a hundred was me before war, I was at a nine. And it was only my faith that kept me at that nine. And so when I went to college, I was like, okay, I can't learn new technical skills.

What can I do to be successful? prior to that, I don't know if you know, but I guarded the president at the Camp David in the Marine Corps. And so in my head, I said, I was at the highest level. I had a great security clearance. If I just get a degree, I can go be comfortable in the FBI, CIA, something like that. My degree should be in art because, again, I don't have to talk to people. They don't have to talk to me. I'll just skate through life.

And it just unlocks something in me that within two years at a community college, learning art for the first time, I decided to take a big leap into the arts. and I applied for the school of the art in Chicago, where Georgia O'Kee, Walt Disney went, best art school in the country. And I had no art back around at all. My own teacher told me I shouldn't apply for it. He's like, you even had a lot of money,

and I grew up in food stamps, I didn't have any money, or you've studied art your whole life. And I just, I'm very optimistic. And I said, you know what? This right now has been changing my life. My whole perspective on telling my story without telling my story,

I have to go to the school. I knew I was going to go in extreme debt doing it. It's a private school that my Montgomery GI Bill wouldn't pay for. I already went into even more debt, but I had to make that tough choice. I'm so glad I did because through that process of telling that story and then even trying to learn songwriting, my buddy Brett was a songwriter, came to Nashville almost every single week from Illinois.

And I was like, oh, that's a job. That's cool. Maybe I'll teach myself. Try to teach myself for a year. I wrote a song. It didn't put Luke on the pedestal. He needed to be my gunner who was killed. And Joe's bar, I was bouncing up there.

easy job to get when I was up there riding around on my Harley. And I met a songwriter named Mark Irwin who wrote Alan Jackson first number one of his multiple hits. And I just went up to him because I was struggling so bad. And I said, hey Mark, you don't know me from Adam, but I'm going through all this stuff. Well, actually, first I asked him if he's ever written

with a veteran or for a veteran. He's like, yeah, me and Billy Ray Cyrus wrote a song called Runway Lights about the staff starting coming over war. And that's when I knew I could trust him. And I said, if I come to you in Nashville, would you just help me tell my story? I'm struggling so bad. And he said, yeah, to me and nobody. And now being in the songwriting music industry, that's a huge deal.

There's number one writers that came and getting rooms with Mark right now. And he said yes to me and nobody. And I came down here, wrote a song and a half and three hours. Something I've been working on for a year. And from that moment, I said, I have to bring every veteran. I know that needs this kind of healing down here to Nashville. So how does that start then? Because you say that, you think that. But then how do there veterans who were reaching out going, hey, what can I do? Like, how do you get involved enough for people to even know what your goals are. So that was the challenge. At first, I was thinking, okay, I graduated from SAC and now I'm almost back to normal. That scale of zero to 100, I'm at like an 85 back to normal. And I look back and I said,

I could take this leap into my career now or I could research if anything like this has ever been created and there wasn't anything like it. So my first test was, can I do this on a scale, the healing scale that I just was impacted by? Can I do this in like a three or four day kind of experience? So one of my buddies who was also injured by a blast, but he's way worse off. He is, he's missing his leg, burns over 60% of his body. He came to me and I was talking to him about my experience. I was like, hey, by chance, if I brought you to Nashville, would you tell your story? And this is the guy, Salt to the other, he still climbs towers with his, with his prosthetic. He's still, to this day, climb and he's a salt to earth guy. And he said, oh, my gosh, I love music. Yeah.

So I prepped him. I was like, okay, what are you going through? What's your, what's your biggest struggle you can't talk to your family or friends about and he tells me because he feels a bond with our experience and I'm like I bought I did a go fund me before our nonprofit raised like 200 bucks we stayed at the same hotel room out by the airport 40 bucks a night not very nice and uh we ended writing with Jeff Copeland uh Noel Billings and Rob Blackledge from Blackjackbilly because I met them at Panama City a long time ago and I dropped Mark Irwin's name I understood songwriting I was like we wrote with Mark Irwin so if you guys want to be a part of this and they did the very first official like creative that's right. And Jesse, who doesn't talk to people, he's sitting there with his head down,

like, yeah, I'm coming from a small town, all this stuff. But then the moment that they started playing his words into the song, he popped up and it was like word vomit, just everything he's ever been through. He's talking about, even stuff I never heard before. And I'm like, oh my gosh, we're on to something. We wrote this song. He told me that that was, that three-hour session was better in six years of the VA hospital. He's been, no bashing in the VA hospital. They went leaps and bounds. now they're doing awesome. But I knew in that moment I had to do this. And so I just pushed on.

And every time I came back, I'd meet more songwriters. And every time I had a veteran town, I'd go to a writer's round. I would see someone I like. I'd go up to him after. I'd see Brian Davis playing one hell of an amen. I'd go up to him by, hey, you don't know me, but would you write with a veteran if I brought him to town? And one by one, they said yes.

So my Rolodex went from like one pro writer to another to another, writing back their houses to Music Row to now backstage at the Grand Ole Opry with veterans. So creative vets, the goal is to offer opportunities for vets to get relief through music. Would that be correct? It is. And it's really to show that songwriting isn't just a novelty. It's a life-saving measure. It's to empower women of veterans to heal through these artistic modalities.

Because we do arts programs around the country, astrophotography for Native American veterans. We're doing programs in Puerto Rico for veterans through songwriting and art. But the ultimate goal is to know that they could turn to their guitar whenever they want. So after they write their song backstage at the opera with these number one writers, we actually teach them how to play a guitar and we send them through a country music hall of fame words and music program to teach them why they wrote their song the way they did and they get to write another song. And we have a staff songwriter who write another song with them so that they now understand that if any trauma ever happens in their life, they could turn to their guitar and

start using it. Same with the art programs. That's why we use university so that they can re-enroll in a university and feel the same way they did through art and music education. How big has this gotten now? I mean, we're everywhere. Our music has over like 20 million streams now. The veterans serve just this year has been over a thousand. We've served veterans in all 50 states. And in March alone, we flew in a Vietnam veteran born and raised in Hawaii to Nashville

to tell his story for Vietnam Venter's Day and talk about impactful. And this is the crazy thing about these stories is that I'm still kind of jaded sometimes in my own experience as a combat veteran and even just like the whole Vietnam and post-911 era. never once thought. We always hear about Vietnam veterans getting spit on and not welcomed home and all that stuff. He came and he talked about that, but he said, you know, what was even worse is I looked like the enemy because he's Hawaiian born. He's like, so even other veterans didn't like me. And I'm like, that kind of isolation. But then he puts in a song and plays it for his family and

friends for the first time and they know how to talk to him. So yeah, we're growing rapidly. It's expression. I mean, it's expression in a way that maybe feels a little less uncomfortable. Yeah. Because I, again, I haven't served, but I express a lot, and I am not good with vulnerability. It's not masculinity to me. It's vulnerability. And so I find other ways creatively to do it where I can actually connect with people. But this is like life-saving.

This is like that, but life-saving. Yes. This is like people. Look at what you've created. Look at the lives that you have been able to understand and help make so much more positive. Like, I know you're here to be. promote creative events and we do this stuff together and we're going to do a check but i don't know you ever look in the mirror and go like man i'm i'm really proud of of what's happened here it's hard it's

when you when you have such a big idea of where i'm still going yeah it's hard but every once while i look back i literally it took me a while and it gives this point to really look back and see even my staff and team and what we help and i say i can't do that i couldn't i i feel like today i couldn't start creative vets. Because when it was just me for four years, I had one helper for two of these years, but I would teach at SCSE for eight veterans for three straight weeks, living in the dorms with them, recruited all them, flew them all out there, taught the course to come back to Nashville and write with other veterans and just vice versa. And not making any salary going to extreme debt. And now I look back at a, I'm kind of living comfortably and I'm helping all these veterans.

I have a staff. And I'm like, I can't do that. I could have never started this. But I had to reflect on all the people who helped me get to this point. And it, does. It's overwhelming when I think about it, but I feel like I have so much more to do at the same time. What can people listening do if they're hearing this and they want to help or they want to contribute or they want? Like what can people listening to my show right now? What can they do? Every nonprofit's going to say this, but we we have a waiting list of over 1,800 veterans, which is pretty unheard of in the veteran non-sproves space. So it's only the funding is what is stopping us from reaching every single one of those

because we're trying to work with so many veterans and do so many things in the music and art space. But also just even streaming our music is some of the easiest ways because creativets is technically an artist. So if they go to their streaming platform, iHeart radio or whatever, and they search creative vets,

creati vets. Yep, if they spell out creative and just put a TS at the end, creative vets, we come up as an artist. Oh, hold on. Create, hold, let me think about this. What did you say? Just spell out creative

and then add TS at the end. Oh, that's a trick. That's a trick. Creative Vets. Because to me it's creative vets, and it is creative vets. Ah. You know if people will search us and they'll do double Vs? Oh, yeah.

And there's actually a website that is Creative V's double Vs that doesn't exist, but it has a donate button on it and they don't take. And I'm like, how much money they may have stole from us? No. Creative TS. That's how to search for the songs, but it's still creative vets. Yeah. But it's awesome because we've had artists lend their vocals to us.

Oh, that's cool. It's featuring Aaron Lewis, Finskill, Dan, Dansyinsky. Create its featuring just. and more creators, creators featuring Granger Smith and they're

lending their vocals to help bring awareness because there's roughly 20 suicides a day in the veteran military space. 14 of those 20s

don't actually seek help and so, but they're listening to music. So my thought process around that was if you have a veteran who is struggling

and they search veteran songs. That's why I named our first album veteran songs. It wasn't because I was lacking creativity.

It was because I know that's what veterans are going to search. And now they're going to hear a random voice that sounds so like,

is this Justin Moore? But they say, Creative Vets is the artist, they search us, Google us, and they find out we're going to pay for their flights or food, their housing to Nashville. So we also started activating at festivals around the country, just riding with veterans on the spot. Okay, so creativevets.org is the website.

It's the same word, but yes, it's much easier. Creative TS, if you're going to search it and check out the music. You want to bring the check in, guys? I know we have a presentation we're going to do here. And I'm not sure any sort of number. I guess I'm going to see it on the big fat check. I saw the check come in. and I like a big check.

One of my favorite things in the world is a big check. One of those that are way too big that you can't actually take to the bank. Yeah, come on in. Here comes. It's too big to fit in the door. Big check. One of you guys grab that check right there.

Go to that lunch. Lunchbox always wants to hold a big check. Yeah. I'm proud to present this. You're upside down. It's upside. Yeah. And who are you presenting it from?

From I heart country. No. He has no idea. Eye heart impact. There you go. Yeah, see? And on behalf of IHeart Impact, we're here to get today with Creative Vets. You need a microphone, though, dude.

On behalf of IHeart Impact and everything you do for veterans, creative vets, we want to present you this check for $50,000. Come on. No, we'll take a good picture in a second. Yeah, just hold the show. You can leave it. All right, lunchbox. You're done.

Great job. Good job. Yay. Yay. No, seriously. Thank you. We're so happy to be a part of this. thanks to you guys.

Thanks to Crown Royal for also being a great partner and man, just keep doing what you do. I appreciate it. And thank you for doing what you did and what you're doing now what you're going to do in the future because in every step of your journey

you've been changing people's lives. It only helps with the spot and I just want to say this around Crown specifically. I've never met a brand and I don't drink, I've never drank alcohol, never even taste of beer, nothing like that. I'm like, I almost want to just buy a bottle

just to support them because they don't just, They weren't just like, here, here's the check. They got me on stage with Lane Wilson, which I thought was an amazing experience. But they just kept taking it further and further, but they're not just giving money, but they're building these experiences for our veterans that are once in a lifetime. And so I can't thank them enough for even connecting us with you all

and have an eye heart, just impact, just love on us. And it just moves the needle forward for us. Richard and are going to go just take down a bottle of the crown. Neither one of us ever had a drink. For the first time, we're going to go and just let it rip. Maybe start with like a sip. we're going we're going there's a reason we don't go because when we go we go

Richard seriously thank you so much for what you do and what you're continuing to do it's an honor to be able to present this check to you guys thanks to Crown Royal for being such a big part of it all the artists that have been a part of it and if you're listening out there you can stream the music creative TS would be how you stream the music or check out creativeettes.org

Richard thanks for coming in today man Thank you so much Bobby Bone Show Bore up the day This story comes us from New York York City. A 33-year-old man went up in a high-rise out on a patio, trying to get a drink, unhappy with the service. So he said, oh, let me take that chair. Woo! Throw it over. Let me take that bench. Woo! Throw it over. I thought it was Morgan Wallen

at first, honestly. I thought he was going to lead us to that, but it's not. And no word if he was inspired by Morgan Wallen. Yeah, yeah. Shouldn't throw stuff off. It's fun. But if it hit somebody down below, that's trouble. My kids recently asked me like, why Morgan Wallen went to jail and I told them, they're like, that's kind of fun. It is fun unless it hits somebody. Right. Then it's not that fun because then you just hurt somebody.

Maybe even killed them. But yeah, you can't throw stuff. Do you have some video of the guys here in town that jumped off the top of the building with like little parachutes on? No. No. They based jumped from the building. Ray, you had to have seen that on TikTok.

That's right up your alley. Yeah, I thought it was fake, but it was 100% real. Yeah, they were up on one of the tall buildings here and they just jumped off. and pulled a little shoot down in the street. That is so crazy that people do that? Yeah, base jumping's wild. Because I don't even know why that's different than skydiving.

I guess when I went skydiving, I hated it, but I was attached to somebody. Well, on skydiving, it's like a 20-minute deal. Like, this one, what is it? 10 seconds? Yeah, you know how much time if the shoot doesn't work? That's true. That's true.

Okay. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. Lunchbox, you watch that bank robber show? Eddie was talking about. Oh my gosh. How to Rob a Bank. I haven't watched it yet. Fantastic. Eddie, you weren't lying.

I told you guys. Dude, it is like, what in the world is going on right now? It's on Netflix? Yeah, Netflix. One episode. One hour. It's like a dog movie. Like an hour and a half.

And it is like I was going to watch 30 minutes and then maybe watch the rest the next day. I sat there and watched the whole thing. My wife, she's not very good at watching TV. She likes to scroll the Insta. There was no Insta going on at this time. It was. all in on the bank robbery. And you can't say much about it?

I'm not going to say much. I'm just going to say very bonito. Italian? I don't know. I just wanted to say it was really good in a different language. I think that was like real beautiful is what you said. Here is what it says on Rotten Tomatoes. In the 1990s, Seattle, the world's best bank robber

has it all. Looks, charm, a sprawling treehouse hideout and an uncanny ability to disappear. Boom. Using Hollywood style makeup. But as law enforcement, inches closer, has once carefully life spirals into a suffocating trap. Oh, yeah. Forcing him and his crew to risk it all in one final heist. This is not a movie.

This is a documentary. Yeah, I couldn't wrote that better myself. We know. That was really good. I mean, it was so entertaining and it was just like, man, this is wild. So looking at him, I just Googled him and he doesn't look like a, I know. I haven't seen it, so I can't spoil anything. We don't even know who you're talking about, Amy.

I'm talking about the guy he's good looking. Like I wouldn't ever look at him and think he's robbing banks. Yeah, I see him here. They called them Hollywood. Yeah, got big hair, big, like, blondish brown hair. Yeah, yeah. Well, then I'm excited to watch it. We finally watched Dune 2.

Oh, yeah, second part. Hey, movie Mike. You guys hated those movies, though. I thought you hated Dune 1. Well, no, I watched Dune 1, and I said it was like a two and a half, but my wife liked it a lot more, so I wanted to watch Dune 2, because she wanted to watch Dune 2. She watched a bunch of my crap, and so watch Dune 2.

I kind of like Dune 2. Dune 2 better than Dune 1. There's more action in it. Yeah, and Elvis is in it. Yeah, Austin and Butler. Oh, he is. I forgot about that. Oh, you've seen Dune 2? Yeah, no, I saw Dune 2 and not Dune 1. That was stupid.

Oh, yeah, that's terrible. Who told you to do that? My son? My 16-year-old? Oh, you know, you have to watch Dune 1. It's like 80 hours long, but just so you kind of understand what's going on. My son said, Dad, don't worry. You don't have to watch Dune 1. Let's just go to the movies and go watch Dune 2. I watched the whole movie.

Dude, I don't get any of this. That's a problem. That's a problem for sure. Yeah, I like Dune 2. Yeah, it's good. Three and a half out of five. I had a three. Yeah.

I thought, and also, once Mike said that he didn't like doing one that much and that Dune 2 was only a little bit better, my expectation was lower. My expectation was lower. That helps. And isn't that a motto on life? Yeah. Expect there to be crap. And then when it's a little better, be happy with it. Dude, how cool when they do the surfing?

That's cool, huh? Oh, yeah. That's so cool. Well, I hope that's not giving anything away. It's not giving them away. You can even say what it is, right? That's a big deal. Oh, they worm surf?

Yeah. They worm surf? Yeah, that's cool. More gonna be seen dunes? Yeah, I watched both of them. And I'm in agreeance. Dune 1, I liked Dune 1, but Dune 2 is definitely better. There's more happening in it.

I thought that Austin Butler was good. Yeah, yeah. He was intense. Yeah, he's good. He's bald, so I didn't realize it was him. I didn't either. My wife goes, Austin Butler, and I'm like, where? She's like, the guy on the screen.

I was like, oh. You didn't hear him say it. Thank you very much. Hey, everybody. I like to murder everybody in the galaxy. All right. That's it. Thank you guys.

Have a great day. All right, bye, everybody. The Bobby Bones show. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Clifford Taylor the 4th.
