So everybody knows Mr. Feeney, right? Boy Meets World. Yeah. Well, him and his wife are about to celebrate 75 years together, really exciting. But they've had an open marriage for a long time. She came out in her memoir, talked about things, affairs she's had over the course of their whole marriage. Not an affair if it's open. Yeah.

And if it's like a pin, she said that it was an affair, but then said that they had an open marriage, but they've also never discussed having an open marriage. So interesting. Is it open if you've never talked about it being open? No, that would be an affair. Or is it closed and you just go, eh, that sucks, move on. No, you've got to have to discuss this. I think so too.

I did see the story. He's in his 90s now, right? Wow. So she, but it was so weird. Like, if you actually read it, it says that they did this back in the 70s and then that he went, she did it first, and then he had a little affair with a producer or something. And then she was like, I'm not for this open marriage thing.

Yeah, and she said there's never a discussion as what they were going to do, but she said that after 75 years together, you know, it would be abnormal if we weren't attracted occasionally to other people. So there have been times both of us on each side that things have happened. Are they still married? Yeah. And they're both alive. Wait. She's 99.

Wow. Why is she writing a memoir? Right. Is she famous? She's an actress. Got it. So I think that's where that's coming from. Who is she?

She was in love of life. Don't know what that is. I saw the headline Feeney admits to open marriage. But it sounds like maybe they both had affairs and then they were both just like, we're both okay with it. Let's just move on and not do it again. Yeah, that's what it sounded like when I read it. No, but she said, we never sat down, made any rules.

We just live our lives. And if he's away for a year, he's away for a year. Sounds like her side of the story. Yeah, but if you read farther down, I'm telling you, like she said this, like in the 70s, this went on. And then she was like, this open marriage thing is not for me. Okay, gotcha. But he would leave for a year.

Yeah, she said our lives just went on. We never got unhinged. But our lives did go in different directions occasionally. Interesting. It's like they had an open marriage, but it was not stated. It sounds like they had a post understanding. Not a pre-understanding, but a post-understanding. Oh, after they both cheated.

There's an understanding. What we both did. It ain't for us anymore. Let's move on. If you never talked about it before, but then you did it, and if you did it and you didn't want the other person to know and they found out, and then you both found out, and you're like, ah, we're okay with it. I feel like that's kind of a post-understanding. But regardless, Mr. Feeney, when I first read it, I thought they had it now. And I thought they're 99.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So. I mean, it worked for them. They're celebrating 75 years together. I'm definitely not going to relationship, shame anyone if they're happy. If you're not hurting people, do whatever you want. You can poop on each other. I don't give a crap. Hey, pun.

But if it works for you, it works for you. If you're not hurting anybody else, that's awesome. Do whatever your relationship allows you to do if you're both happy. All right. Amy? Speaking of relationships, Taylor and Travis are getting married, and I was reading a little bit about their pre-nup situation. Apparently they're trying to figure out what state they're going to file the pre-nup in

because every state has different laws. Taylor is worth an estimated $2 billion. Travis comes in at about $90 million, which that was a lot higher than I thought. Hey, he broke. Yeah. Four. He broke.

That's definitely not broke. That's way higher than I thought. If you were to say, what do you think Travis Kelsey's worth, I've just said. $45 million? Yeah. About that. Half of what he is.

Broke. So it's worth a lot. I feel like when you both make that much, Can't you just like, I don't know, write down like you keep what yours, I keep what's mine, sign here. It's about more than that. It's about like intellectual property that's created too while they're together. Okay. Minus our intellectual property.

I think there are just a lot of those elements of creation that you have to decide. She creates it and it's part of her Taylor Swift Empire music, anything that's. She has so much more going on. I mean, she has so much more. that she's going to have to have all this stuff written because he has what? A couple of footballs and a podcast. The lucky states in the running for the pre-up,

Rhode Island, Missouri, Kansas, Tennessee, and New York. Also, they don't know this is true. This is just speculation from folks. Through our sources. Exactly. That's kind of my problem with all this Travis Taylor news. Never happening.

Who knows what's real. They're locking it all down. Yeah. Okay. Because I used to fall. That used to be my beat too. I used to fall for all of it. And I'm like, no one knows.

This could be happening. I'm sure they are discussing a pre-no. Yeah, but like, oh, the venue has been, they know where it is. Like, no, and then they come out later. Like, no, they don't. That was not it. I would imagine that a lot of it is, again, the intellectual property they both create remains theirs, regardless of how much money is made from it while they're together.

So they could also go the bin and J-Lo route and go without a pre-up. Well, if you have so much, that is an easy thing to do because the judge is not going to go, hey, you've only made $90 million. I think she needs to do spousal support for you. So if there is a level you get to where it is actually somewhat accepted that you don't need a pre-nep.

If both people are significant because a judge literally is not going to go. Travis Kelsey needs spousal support. Yeah. And if they're pretty level, right? But they're not level. 90 million? Oh, I thought you meant Jaylo and Travis. No, I'm saying J-Lo and Ben. I feel like J-Lo has way more money than Ben Affleck. I don't know.

Oh, I see. Yeah, I don't know about that. But we speculate on things that we kind of know they made. We have no idea the investments they've made. True. We have no idea the property they've sold. We have no idea. So whenever you see this stuff online, this person's worth this much, it's only based on the things that they know

the folks are doing professionally. A lot of the stuff is done with financial advisors and you're probably making more money off things you're not doing publicly than you are. Yeah, I was at the dentist and I saw A-Rod's like owned this like denture company.

There was a poster with A-Rod like, Hey, my dentures. Miles Teller ended up selling a company and making like $100 million or something. He's like, I'm still going to act. But it's like when you make money, you have to invest the money. And sometimes you make more money by investing the money than you did even in your high dollar jobs when you're acting or playing ball. So, that's what's up. You said pretty cool.

Pretty cool. That's pretty cool. I have that much money. But you could also make money making medium money. Yeah. And make more money than you would make if you were. But it's not just about having high money. It's about having medium money or even low money.

Man, people were just railing Eddie for that one podcast we did when you were just telling him about his. They were railing me? Yeah. Wait, for what? For what? When you were telling him he needed his medical card. Oh, the HSA. You guys don't understand.

Oh, maxing out your HSA car. Were they talking to Amy? Amy didn't understand? No, you. Oh, me. Because if you were going to spend that money anyway, you're saying overall saving so much money for the year. You have more money. but it doesn't matter

but yeah you were getting hit pretty hard yeah and no one knows my financials but no that's not the point

it's the point it sounds like you don't know your financial I do no your wife does I know my expenses

that don't have to do with medical I know but you're I need okay but I'm gonna give you 30 seconds

no no we don't need 30 seconds okay well here's what I'll say I don't think you under you may understand your financials

but don't you understand what you're saying no you don't there's no way you do I do, I promise. No, because if you did, you would change it. So I have these things that I pay off, right, that aren't medical, that are personal.

Like, I support someone else. Oh, gotcha, okay. And I need that money to help them. Okay. And if you're spending more... And if I take my portion of my paycheck to put in my HSA, I won't have enough to do that. But here's what you're not understanding is you end up spending way more money medically. You would have more money to take care of whomever.

overall if you did that. Yeah, because it wouldn't be. And I understand like that's not taxed, right? Like that. But also you're talking about 250 extra dollars. You're not talking about 10,000. Yeah, whatever that maxes. I think that's what brought up the whole thing, right?

Like, are you maxed out in that? And I thought I was. I need to double check. I don't know if I'm maxed out or not. Okay. But you think it's like some sort of $80,000. It's like $250,000. And we're going, if you max out the $250

bucks and it's not taxed. You're actually making more money for the whole year that you can do all these things you're talking about. Yeah, I know what you're saying. Well, it's pretty cool. Like, when I got my root canal, it's pretty cool to like pay some of that with my HSA card. Lunchbox is cool.

Look at this card and have a million dollars in there. Yeah, I don't, I got to, have you checked on that? I got to call them and get a card. I have no idea how to get a card. Yeah, but you've been paying on it, huh? Yeah. Are you sure?

I know I have. Because on my paycheck, it says HSA. Oh. And Amy said it rolls over. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I just... What if you signed up, though, for the non-rollover?

Oh, no. Oh, my God. It goes away after the year. I don't even know if that's a thing. Oh, that would be terrible. But it sounds like something you would accidentally click. Probably. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Also, I don't know if this is accurate. I'm on TikTok. Jennifer Lopez's worth $415 million and Vinathlet, $251 million. Yeah, I would think they don't need a pre-nup. Yeah. That's a lot. I mean, he's so comfortable he just gave her a $50 million.

I mean, that's right. That just happened. Yeah, 50 or 60. Yeah. Okay. Amy, thank you for your story. Eddie. Okay, so this is cool.

There is an old lady. She's in hospice. You know, she's the towards the end. That's really cool. That's not cool. No, it's not cool. But while she was at hospice, she was talking to the people that work there and she was telling them that like, I would love before I die to talk to one of my students that I taught.

And they're like, well, who is that student? They're like, well, it was Michael Jordan, you know, back in North Carolina. I taught him in high school. And they're like, that's cool. So they reached out to Michael Jordan, said, hey, would you want to talk to your old teacher, Ms. Edda? She's talking about you. And they got nothing. They got radio silence.

Well, last week, out of nowhere, Michael Jordan FaceTime says, hey, let me talk to Miss Edda. So they talked. They phasedimed each other, and they talked a little bit. And it was pretty cool that she got to get Michael Jordan on the line to talk before, you know. she does I saw the picture yeah no it was a weird one yeah

it was very weird no but I mean that's cool that was on her bucket list her bucket list was to hug him one last time well but that was I know I don't like to be that guy can I have permission to be that guy

I don't like to be that guy I don't want to be that guy well let Daniel be that guy Daniel's not that guy Daniel's not the guy lunchbox is that guy oh sorry sorry let lunchbox be that guy

lunchbox you can be the guy I mean this is weird it's just she just wants to be associated with Michael Chor Oh, that's not my guy. What do you mean? Okay, we're doing two. You're worse than my guy.

She's about to die. My thing is Michael Jordan has a private jet that can get him there in five minutes to give her a hug. He could have done anything. Like fly on over. She wants a hug. Oh, you're saying Michael Jordan was lame by doing a FaceTime? I didn't say lame because he didn't have to do that. But I'm saying, I'm being that guy.

I don't like to be that guy. He could literally been there in 10 minutes. I get that. But he did call. I hear you. He didn't have to do that. And a lot of people don't do that. And that's why I don't like being that guy.

and I'm that guy right now where I'm thinking, man, she asked and you, it meant enough for to call. I don't know. Hop on you, Jordan Jet. Go say hi and bye. And then on your way. But I don't want to be that guy because I don't think it's fair to be that guy. Have you seen his jet? I mean, because he flies every week to the NASCAR race.

Oh, that's his business. That's his business. But make a pit stop. I mean, it ain't that hard. Well, I don't know that I'd pit stop for an event. I'd probably do it now. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Because she's not. No, no, so I'm saying like. She's on the clock. They said they didn't hear from him for like a week. I mean, that's, I mean. But also, he might not have got it. There are layers to get to Michael Jordan. And who knows what they tried to do?

Like, Michaeljordan.com? Like, how did they try to get a hold of him? But once he got to him, I mean, you're right. But yes, I think it's a little weird that she wanted, she just wanted to be associated with Michael Jordan one last time. She wanted to meet someone famous. But I think it would be cool to be associated with Michael Jordan one last time. Yeah.

Yeah. I don't mind that part of it. Especially when you knew him as it, when he was a kid. Is it also possible? Maybe he doesn't remember her. I remember all my teachers. I don't. I don't know if I remember all of them.

I mean, pretty much you remember all your teachers. Well, Miss Kowalski kindergarten. Miss Curry. Miss Me, my first grade. Miss Anderson. Miss English, my third grade. Third. Oliver.

Fourth. Miss Cisneros, my fourth grade. Fifth. Miss Pelham. I moved to a bunch of schools. I only had some teachers for like, I can't think of my fifth, six. I'm Miss Samora on my fifth grade.

You can't remember fifth grade and Miss Willis. Come on. I think you can remember most of your teachers. Yes. Miss Beard was science in fifth grade. You probably remember. Anyway, I'm glad that he called her. I don't want to be that guy anymore, so I'm going to take that off. I'm taking off that guy cap.

Okay, lunchbox. We all make mistakes. You know, you win awards. You're all excited. Jackson Smith and Jigba is a wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, Super Bowl champions. and he won offensive player of the year this year and the NFL mails him his award.

He opens it up. And he got the defensive player of the year award. Oh, they sent the wrong one. They sent the wrong award. That's interesting. So he opens it up. He's like, oh, I got it. I'm going to put it on my shelf and it's the wrong award.

I found an award in my house the other day when I was going through stuff and it wasn't to me. And so I had an award and it was for Andy Rodic who is one of my dear friends, but he played tennis back in the day. It was like world number one for a long time. time. I thought, why do I have this antirotic award? And then I remembered I went and accepted it for him at Austin Music Awards because he couldn't be there. He was playing tennis. And I remember it made me laugh, but I remember getting up and giving a speech. I said, hey, if you win,

I'll be there, I'll accept it. And then I got up and gave a speech about how he only wanted to thank me for me being his inspiration for the whole award. I thought about that forever. Made me laugh out loud. I laughed at something I did. I actually hate everything I do. And it's actually funny that you accepted it and then never gave it to him. Yeah, I kept it. I still have it. Yeah, I got up and I said, I got the snow from Andy. I would not be able to be here without Bobby Bones. He is the wind beneath my wink. And I just talked about all me for the whole time. That's funny. Yeah, that was pretty funny. Remember we made Carlos get up and do the same speech over and over again? Oh my gosh. I was like to get to my stage. I was hilarious. Back when we were in

Austin, the Austin Music Awards, we would win that morning show of the year award. And so Carlos was a producer on the show for a long time, very close with Carlos. And we said, you go up and I wrote it out I said I'm not going to give the speech I want you to do it and he's like all right so he gets up and the speech was like 12 lines I said but when you finish just start over he said okay

I said when you finish that time just start over do not stop until they come and take you off the stage I think you got through like three and a half it's a long time and then they finally came out they like played the music and they got them off man those are the days these awards ceremonies were big though I remember they were like in a full like

A lot of people there. Yeah, that's a good one. We did one, too, where we made lunchbox wear a suit. Okay. This is, this is rude. We were having a show dinner at a nice restaurant. Ruth Chris. I was like, guys, big show dinner.

It's on me. Let's have it. Everybody's got to dress up. Wear suits. And we all show up t-shirts and shorts and he shows up in a suit. They said to go to this restaurant, you have to wear a suit. And I'm like, man, sounds probably about right. Downtown restaurant, not something I've dined at.

And I roll up in a suit and I walk in, I'm like, you sons of guns. Didn't you, wasn't it like your dad's? It was his dad's serious. He didn't have a suit. And I was like, oh, this is bad. It was pretty bad. We also did one of those awards things to Carlos too, where we told him it was a Hawaiian themed.

And so we're all dressed up. And he shows up in full Hawaiian gear, Hawaiian shirt and shorts. That has a good time. No, dude. The worst was when you got up to accept the award and you said that I was a Tulane minor. I got out of the mine. That was great.

Do you remember that story where the Chilean miners were trapped in the mines? Yeah. So stupid. Eddie came with me to the award ceremony. And you didn't give me a heads up.

I was just sitting at the table. And I got up and they had just been freed and I said, this isn't just about me. You guys saw the Chilean mine story where they've all been freed. My friend down there, I brought him tonight

because he was one of those miners. And it was a standing out. And people had got him and started clapping for him. Did you wave? Yeah, of course. I just sat there. Then he played the part the rest of the night.

People would come up and be like, wow, What was it like in there? I'd be like, ooh, very dark. It was scary. Oh, my gosh. Oh, man. So stupid.

What a day, huh? What a day. One other thing. And I'll, we'll break after this. Eddie thinks he saw a lunchbox flirting with Morgan yesterday. It's just bizarre, dude. What? It's just bizarre.

It's weird. You would say this. I know, me too, bud. Here we go. This is Eddie. You know what? This is like the third time in the last three months that Eddie has tried to insinuate that I'm cheating on my wife.

Can I say, I'm going to start putting rumors your cheating on your wife. Can I say what I saw? I feel like this is. Can I say what I saw? It was very bizarre. Okay, say what you saw.

Morgan's leaving. And as she's walking to the door, lunchbox goes, hey. And she turns around. He goes, imagine where you would have been if I wouldn't have said, hey.

Like, what? And then like, she was like, oh, lunch, whatever. He's like, hadn't done that to you in a while, huh? And then I was like, they have these little games that they play? like, what was that?

Mind you. Not games we play. He plays by himself. Is it weird to you? Morgan, explain that game. It's not a game for me. He just does it to me all the time. And I think he actually needs something. Thank you, Amy. Thank you. What is it? I don't understand it. It's funny to you because it hasn't happened to you

50 times. He does it to me all the time. I'll be like fully down the hallway and he were like, hey. And he's like, ha. Well, I guess I'm just picturing him trying to be like, hey. And then you like and then you stop and you turn around. So you waste time. Yeah, it's a time waste.

And you're just like, oh, how far would you have been if I wouldn't have stopped you? God, and she gets so mad. It's funny. It was kind of flirty. That's what I'm saying, man. It feels flirty. Do you do it to men? Yes.

Okay. Name a man you've done it to. No, you don't. Name a man. I've done it to people for years. I've done it at the old building. People that we've walking down the whole. The old building.

You've never done it to me? Eddie. Because you're not around me. No, because I'm not a woman. Okay. That's what it is. I thought that was crazy. A little bizarre.

And you witnessed it. And he was like, hey. And she was like, what? And he goes, imagine where you would be if I wouldn't have said, hey. What? He's telling Matthew McGona. He's so weird. And lunchbox doesn't sound like Matthew Mconna.

And that's part of it. His voice was like, hey. No, no, it was not like that. Now you're being an idiot. He wasn't, though. Well, do it. How do you do it? He's acting like I'm being seductive.

He goes, hey. I didn't say it like that at all. I go, hey. And she goes, what? And I was like, how far you think he'd been if I did not stop you? Oh, why do you do that? And she leaves.

That's it. How long have you been doing that game? A long time. Years. I've probably done it to Abby. I've done it to a lot of people. Hey, Abby. Let's see.

Abby, let's see. Abby, has this ever happened to you? Literally never. What is happening? What is happening? Mike D. Or you should see Eddie Ford with a girl at the front desk. Morning Mal.

Every morning. We walk by. Every morning if we go to the bathroom, he's morning. Morning Mal. I say morning. No, but the way he says it, he's like, I want to get in your pants. What? Dang, he really hit a nerve with lunchbox.

Oh, no, no. On the cruise ship, he got up in front of everybody and goes, hey, be careful. Lunch is going to try to invite all you women to his room. It's like, what? Yes, she did. This is something about a wedding ring? Somebody was saying something about, yes. Like, guys, make this the,

week of yes. I said that. And then Eddie goes, except for when lunchbox invites you to room because he's going to try to get you women to his room. I didn't say all that. Yes, you did.

That was the joke. Did he say it? Did he say that? Yeah, because he wasn't wearing his wedding ring either. But it was just like, what are you doing? Like, where was your wedding ring, dude?

I left it. At my house? I was going on a cruise. Why would I bring it? But you do you see what I'm saying? It's just like the last three months. He said it at least three times. It's a joke, dude.

Okay, so if I started saying you're trying to bang other women, your wife would be okay with it. I never said that. But if I did that to Eddie, he would be pissed. I never said that. Morning Mal. No, you did. I'll stop saying morning to Mal. On the cruise ship, you insiduated I was trying to bang chicks by saying,

don't say yes when lunch tries to invite you to the room, ladies. He's going to try to get you in there. It was a joke. Okay, it was a bad joke. If I said that in front of a crowd, you would be okay with it. Hey, I apologize. No, no, I'm asking you. So if I get up in front of a Nissan Stadium and say, hey, Eddie wants to go home with all you women tonight.

I want him to settle down. I'm asking you. Yes, yes. You hit a nerve, dude. Yeah, I did. Okay, I'm going to start making sexual jokes about Eddie and his relationship with his wife. No, I said I wouldn't like it, dude. No, it's going to happen now.

For now on. No, I'm going to start handing out your number to women and say, hey, Eddie wants you to call him. It's no big deal, right? It's just a joke. Oh, boy. I'm asking you. You're not asking, dude. You're really not.

Ray. Jeez. Has Ray, has he ever done the hay to you? Never. Amy, don't. I quit flirting with Amy. Don't. She's single.

Man, exposed. Some sort of exposed nerve got touched there. Okay. Well. No, no. But you can't. I know. You're right.

We can't joke about that. Like, it's just, that's the third time in like three months. Okay. What was the other time? Another time. That's two. What was the other time? Another time we were at something.

and he said lunchboxes. What what, though? I can't remember exactly what it was, but I remember it and going, here we go again. Was it still on the cruise or were we back? No, it was off the cruise. We were back.

Bahamas? No, like we were back. Back in America. Okay, all right. No more. I won't joke about that anymore, dude. But, okay, how could I rephrase the. It's just be like, hey, Morgan and Lunchbox

have this cute little game they play. Oh, no, I wouldn't do that. No, okay, you know, but that's not saying, like, they're flirting. part of the game. Okay. Lunchbox, maybe you just say

lunchbox has his game he plays with Morgan. With girls. Well, so far he's only played with Morgan. That's true too. That's true too.

Unless, I mean, there's other people, but. I've never been walking in the hall he's done it to me. He's never done it to me.

Ray, he said no. Can you imagine if he did that to you? I wouldn't stop. Skuba, has he done it to you? No,

but he does do a lot of these, like, joke things where he's always like, happy New Year. And he says it every day and he said it for six years. So I think he does these things where there's just games and we all, we just play into it. That's fun.

Like we do it, hey, it's Saturday. I'm the best bits and Morgan gets hellop pissed. So there's like this thing. Hellopist. Wait, why? But it airs on Saturday. Because they yell at each other and interrupt a segment. Like we'll be talking and one will come in and interrupt us talking to each other.

And it's just loud and obnoxious. I can't believe you're here on a Saturday. What are you doing here on a Saturday? He basically just has a lot of inside bits that he, likes to do. To you. And I am the... No, that's what Scuba and I.

That has nothing to do with Morgan. That has me and Scuba's joke. And Morgan doesn't like... And Morgan hates it. I guess my point is that he has a lot of these little things and we just roll into it. You know what is so cute? My son now comes home from school and when he walks in, he goes, hey, hey, hey, hey, like every time.

And it's starting to get... It's gotten deeper and deeper as the year. has gone on. But it's so cute. I just, and I asked his dad, when he comes home from school and walks in your house, does he go, hey, hey, hey, hey, and he's like, well, I'm not normally there when he's home. And I was like, oh, dang, so I feel special. I feel like we have this little thing. Like, we're, like, he's just cute. Like, he comes in and he, I just love that he does that. It's like his little, I'm home. Yeah. I hope he never stops that. I hope he's 30 years old when he comes to visit, he walks in my house and goes, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Morning, ma'am. Morning, ma'am. Okay. I'll stop doing that. I'm trying to move on. Yeah. All right. Hey, hey.

My kids walk in and I'll be like, who is it? And they're all like, it's me, Dad. We do that. And you're like, which one? It's got a cute. Have you all seen that thing where moms are all turned around and they're lined up and kids say, hey mom. and then the mom

whose kid that's their voice she has to be the one that turns around that would be so nerve-wracking if you have a room full of kids and they all say hey mom but whatever mom

hears their kid's voice they have turned around like what if your kid says hey mom and you don't turn around it's hard because I've been at like trampoline place

and somebody says dad and I turn around like oh gosh and that wasn't it was my kid if it's quiet and it's a game and your kid says, hey, dad, you would know, right?

I would think so, too, but then how embarrassing if there's like a glitch. Yes. Well, if every other mom is turning around to their kids saying, hey, mom, and then you're the mom that doesn't recognize it? They'd probably get their feelings, sir, for sure. I'm going to take a break. That's not on y'all's algorithm? Yeah, I feel like you're just extending now for the sake of extending. So we're going to, uh, yeah.

I know that guy's great. No, wait until he comes in. You're not going to like him. Clint, good to see you. Good to see you. I got your book at my hand. Awesome. Yeah, it's out today.

So, before we get into the book, whenever I see you in my head, I just start singing your songs. Like I... That happens to me. When I see you. Yeah, what are you saying? No, I'm that way.

When I see people, one of their songs pops into my head, and so then I start hating those people. When you walked in, I was like, and I'm leaving here better. And I was like, I shouldn't sing it. Do people ever sing your songs around you? Yeah. Just randomly? Yeah. Are they trying to get you to notice them, or is it like mine that's kind of a bit subconscious that comes out? I think, yeah, they're trying to say it's you. Hey, I see you.

Oh, got it. Oh, that's how they get your attention. For me, that wasn't it. I was trying to avoid your attention when you were. walked in. Yeah, I need a coming here a better man song, sequel. Go on. For when I enter the room. Go on. Is it a leaving? I'm coming here a better man. I'm leaving much worse off. I don't know. Do you get tired of playing the songs you've played so many times? No, no, I don't. I'm still trying to

get better at playing them. Okay. So, uh... We're going to do the humble thing. No, it's true. You're a virtuoso. No, every night, every night's a challenge because the venue's different, the way I can connect with the audience is different. And, you know, don't you feel that when you play? You're just, it's like, I'm getting better. Tonight's going to be my best performance. Yeah. I feel like I know what's going to work, but I can't wait to do the stuff that I'm not sure

works because then I can, like if it's a joke, I don't know if it works. Like I'm excited about it possibly, probably not working, but I'm like, oh, this is the moment where I get to feel. Because I know the stuff that's going to work. Like I got jokes that I know we're going to get big glass cup. I've done 10,000 times. But it's like the stuff where I'm like, this may not go well that excites me.

And I get so excited about it pre. And afterward I can be like, oh, that's like, but I like that's like, but I'm about to do something new. And do you share the cringe with the band? Look around and you go, hey, that was really bad. I think the cringe is shared with everybody in the room, for sure. I mean, there are shows where the jokes aren't going over, it's proximity or size of venue or everybody's already drunk and they're just and you just know

they're not going to go over but I love doing them and so I'll do them anyway and when there's no response it's you know you're in the headlights out there you just hit a chord no I just look back at the band that was bad wasn't it did you ever have a stage where you played behind chicken wire No. Okay, because I like Blues Brothers and some of those. Yeah, I never did that. Where they like throw the bottles and stuff? Yeah.

Yeah, that would have been a cool story if you had that one, though. Yeah. Didn't have one of those. I'll go find one of those. I don't know if they still exist. No, no, no. I know you played like. It's now the singers are throwing the beers at the audience.

Well, now the audience those phones at people. Yeah. Riley? Yeah, that's one of them. But they'll throw a phone, hit them, or throw it near. their goal isn't to like maim the singer it's so the singer picks it up and records a video with it but you can't be you can't throw stuff i saw eric clapton on stage the other night and someone threw it hit something it wasn't a phone hit him he's like shows over walked off

walked off just like i'm not doing this you know you know it's it can it can it can harm you know people don't realize that i mean uh riley's ear was cut you know but if you get hit in the wrong place, get hit in the eye, you know, it could do some damage. You played like restaurants though, right? Like, like, which is when you were, because you were doing construction and then would you go play at night pretty much every night? I couldn't. When I was doing construction, I was exhausted at the end of the day.

And I think, you know, every now and then maybe on a Saturday and Sunday, you know, playing in a barbecue or something like that. But, no, and that's why every day on the construction job, I just, you know, I just, you know, just why am I here? Why am I? I should be singing and I finally quit. How hard was it to quit, though, and do something where there is no stability? Construction. Stability. Yeah. Music, no stability. Yeah. It was tough, but it wasn't a hard decision. It was just, you know, I'm done with this. Let's go starve to do what I think I need to be doing. Did you save up like a good nut to do that, though? No. No. No. You mean, did I have?

a plan. Yeah, yeah, no savings account to get you to do for a little bit. I'm Clint Black. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't have a plan. So your book here, killing time. Yep. Excellent. And I'm always curious about what you have to reevaluate, what new memories like come back into play that you haven't thought about in a long time whenever you're finding pictures. Because when I did my books, I have to find the pictures. I'm like, oh, man, this really reminds me of something or I get a like in your picture search for this book. Like what came up the end thought about in a while? Oh, I can't remember. You know, it was such an exhaustive process of getting all the stories down into some form, finding and looking through all the photos. You know, they jog your memory. You know, I remember being there. I remember, you know, getting my paper route ready.

What do you mean? You know, just getting the newspapers. You had to do the inserts and all of that stuff. So it'll take me back to that back porch when I was doing that. And I remember falling asleep on top of a stack of newspapers. And my dad had to come find me. People are calling. They want their paper. Oh, wow.

You fell asleep for that long. It wasn't five minutes. It was he fell asleep so late they didn't get their papers. Yeah. This picture of you as a kid on the cover. Yeah. When was that, you think? I was five.

That would have been, you know, 67. What is that picture? What's the memory with that picture? Why did you put it on the cover? I don't have one. It's just the earliest thing we have of me being a cowboy. Is that? You know, yeah, you got big boots on. I got a little stick pony. Oh, that's a stick pony. What did you think that was coming out of? I thought it was like one of those things that hobo's had on a stick that they'd get on the train with.

I thought Clint was doing like the hobo train thing. Oh, it's a stick pony. I was going to run away, but I had a horse so I had some. saddlebags and stuff. Got it. What about this picture in the middle here? It's like maybe you're singing at like a festival or a show or something? Yeah, I think that was the Wheeling jamboree.

I'm not sure. In the town of Wheeling? Yeah. I think that was Wheeling, West Virginia. I got to tell you. You're good looking dude. Goes without saying. I'm saying like, I get it.

Like I didn't get it then as a chart. But, you know, I. I went through that, you know, heartthrob thing and tried not to, you know, like I say that I don't want to be a serious artist and everything. But it was it was so good for the CMT thing happened and immediately my face was recognizable. And what that did for my career, it was, I don't know how to. talk about being handsome. Well, I brought it up. I'm going nowhere. The CMT thing, though, you mean the network starting to emerge. And like the... Immediately. I mean, the single had no legs at all. Which one? But the video did. A better man. So a better man came out with the single. And the

better man, a better man is, the video is really what sparked things off. Did you can, people were showing up at bars. That's a weird, word question, but I answered as honest as you can. Did you, like, consider yourself like a good-looking dude? I was happy with my looks. I didn't think of myself as, you know, I didn't want to be like up there, like Tom Jones, you know, and, hey, you know, charming the ladies with my looks. I didn't want to do that. So I didn't think about it a lot.

And I was ego suppressive, you know. Don't think too much of yourself. Where'd that come from? It came from friends when I was just starting to play and sing telling me I was going to be a big star. And then in the same breath saying, and don't let it ruin you. So this was said to me many times. And I, so I came into the business worried about ruin, worried about ego. getting out of control and placing myself above people.

And I sort of realized looking back, I developed a mechanism above discounting compliments, you know, by 30 or 40 percent. Just so that, you know, if you think I'm that great, I'm going to think less, you know. Yeah, mine is, if you think I'm good, you just wait. You're going to really be surprised that I'm not. I like the self-deprecating stuff. Yeah. You know, man, if you saw me play, you wouldn't believe how much I practice. You talk about Reba a little bit in the book and hearing Reba's music.

When did you get to know Reba? Well, I got to know we're backstage at the Opry and at award shows backstage being around her like that. I opened for her at some shows, but we're all. going a hundred different directions. So it takes time to develop friendships and get to know other artists because we're never around at the same time. So it's like those operas and award shows

are like the homecoming where you get to see everybody. Who did you feel like you became close friends with when you moved to town that was an artist that you had no relationship with at all until you got here? Steve Warner. Yeah. Well, you guys both are like just fantastic musicians too. Is that why? I just liked Steve. Steve was fun and funny. You know, Steve will make you laugh. I mean, I thought I was going to bust a spleen one time and he knew it. And I'm saying, you know,

I'm dying, laughing and I can't stop. And I'm really begging him to stop what he's doing. And he's like, oh this is working and then he comes in for the kill and he could have killed me with it um so i think you hit it off that way first and then you say you know we need to write a song together which is like you know the uh the way you know you ask another singer for a date you know uh don't want this to be awkward can i take you out for a burger you know and so did you guys write pretty well together Yeah, yeah, we wrote a lot of songs together over the years. And a couple of them, you know, like nothing but the taillights, you know, big hit, been there. And then a bunch of deep cuts that are favorites of mine.

One of the favorite songs, I'm going to do it in an event I can't talk about yet, but it's America still in love with you, our love letter to this country. So songs I'm really, really proud of, and some of them in my most favorite compositions. And along with that, you know, when you're not doing that, he's showing you a guitar lick. And, you know, and then I steal him, I go away and I change him a little and in their mind. And then you claim you wrote it. Yeah. Why killing time is the name of it?

I mean, you got a bunch of songs that kind of better man would have worked as a title? Killing time? Yeah. One of the things I've always known about myself is the premium that I put on time. And I was a very fatalistic growing up. I didn't think I would live a long life. And so time was always coming to a close for me. 16.

That's it. I mean, because we were losing friends to car and motorcycle accidents and drug overdose or cancer. And so I just knew, and the Vietnam War was looming. And I just thought, you know, something will get me. You know, I can't imagine. Something will get me. Something will get me, you know, like it got my friend or this guy.

And then 18 came and I was like, okay, 21 is probably hit. You know, and then 21 came and 25. came and I'm like okay better start flossing you know I'd live a while and I and I sort of walked away from that idea and it wasn't something that kept me awake at night but but that's that's that was my you know latter teen years so time you know killing time buying time spend my time, no time to kill, until the end of time. There's a lot of, I'm not thinking of off the top of my head. I've written a lot of songs on that subject.

Life gets away. And that just comes from just knowing, you know, you just don't know how long you have. When I started thinking about what I named the book, it was, there wasn't know this was the first thought killing time uh this is my biggest hit and and it's the irony of that i have not been killing time i've done a lot it's not it's not all in the book because that would be boring but uh it was just the obvious choice to me that was the name of the album too right killing time yeah and it was the and the album was finished and hayden and i wrote that song at the last it and did a quick demo, sent it in.

Everybody said, oh, yeah, that has to go on the album. We cut the track for that, and Hayden actually recorded that six-string Jerry Jones bass part that you hear in the intro. At Master Phonics, while we were mastering the album, that's how close we were to missing the window of getting that song on the album. Did you have a name of what the album was going to be? until you kept coming time? No, not until Mary Hamilton was head of the art department at RCA.

And we did a photo shoot with Senior McGuire, Jim McGuire, down in Galveston. And then I was sitting with her at RCA looking through the photos, picking ones that we wanted to, you know, put in for artwork. And she came across that cover photo and she said, look at you. You're just killing time. I was like, yeah, yeah, that's, yeah, yeah, that's what I'm doing. And then did you write the song after that? No, no, this. Okay.

She had the list of songs, and she just put that title with that photo. 1989 is when that came out. Are you a good guy remembering what happened in certain years because I am not? No. Okay, got it. My least favorite word throughout this process was, timeline. Your timeline seems off. And then fortunately I had Craig Shelburne helping me and Craig would do research. I would write a story and Craig would say yeah, that didn't happen in 1994.

He saved me from being wrong. Whenever you recorded Killin Time, that's the last song on the album. Was that the first single on the album? No, better man. Better man than Killin Time. And that I think nobody's home came after that. Kind of a generational run there. Yeah, yeah, five number ones. And then it was, it was history making. So that made me a news item, you know, because that hadn't been done with a debut album in any genre,

any time. Man, did that feel crazy? Or were you going so hard you didn't even really understand what was happening? It felt crazy. you know, everywhere you go, you're an event. You know, you're in a truck stop. And people know you. Went to a mall and somebody screamed.

And you just, you feel it everywhere you go. And a song, remember Little River Band, a song, Cool Change, would get to me at times on the bus when I needed that cool change. I needed to get away from that guy. And just for a minute. Could you not wear a cowboy hat? And it'd be a little easier?

Yeah, no. If I went to the mall, I didn't wear my cowboy hat. That'd be weird. You'd be looking for attention. He's wearing his cowboy hat, walking around with the guitar. Singing. Yeah, yeah. Leave me alone, everybody.

Well, I'm leaving here. Can you give me some space? Yes, please. God. Did you ever have one of those instances where you fell off stage, like in your heyday and then you just have to like play hurt for a while? Not in my heyday, but a few years ago I did. What'd you hurt? I ruptured a disc in my lumbar and I cracked the femoral head of my hip.

Oh, my. And I didn't know it. I knew I hurt my back. And I was in surgery about four days later, getting that fixed. How did you fall off the stage? I didn't actually fall. I turned it into a jump because it was either that or fall. So the one night my crew forgot to put the white tape along the edge of the stage.

Oh, man. Was, I, I'm going out there. I'm singing, put yourself in my shoes, so I'm holding the mic like this. And, well, like this. And for those of you listening at home, this is much better look. And I'm walking out, singing to the crowd, and I realized my momentum is going to carry me over the edge. And so I just made it a jump. I'm jumping.

I can't see the ground because the lights in my eyes. It's a concrete floor in a hockey arena and Canada. And when I land, my right leg is straight, and I land on the heel in my boots. And the jolt was electric. It went through my body. I didn't fall down. I missed a few lyrics.

Hayden was looking back and he said he looked back at the dick on the drums and when he turned around there was it where'd Klinko? It's weird. He's not singing. So I walked around and security person helped me find my way through the curtains and back to the stage. I started singing, you know, right away. You finished the show? I had one day off. And, yeah, I iced my back. I got some muscle relaxers and spent the day in bed. And then I had two more shows in Canada finishing in Vancouver. And by that time, my right leg was numb all the way down to my foot. So I'm kind of, yeah, I'm fine, you know, nobody can tell.

But there were a few times when I almost fell down. just because I couldn't feel my leg. It was, you know, the buses across the border. I go to the Seattle airport. I get on a plane. By the time I make it to my seat, I tell the flight attendant, I'm going to need a wheelchair when we get to L.A. And you're not joking. No.

Yeah. And I hated that. And so then I had somebody call the hotel and ask him to put, a wheelchair, have a wheelchair for me to get me to my room. And so, first of all, I'm hating being wheeled to the airport in a wheelchair, you know, but I can't, I can't walk. And so I get to the hotel, I get up to my room, I get in bed, and I look over at that wheelchair, just sitting there. I'm not going to, you're not a part of my future. And, and I went and had to, and I went and an injection didn't help and I was in surgery the next morning and it was a little bit of a slog

but I was back on tour about 10 days later. Dang. That's great. Did you write about that in the book? Yeah. Yeah. There's a list of about a third of the surgeries I've gone through as a result of my first injury. There's about 29 surgeries and procedures.

I'm the $6,000 man now. Did you ever have throat issues? Like surgery on your throat? Like any sort of polypity thing or anything? No, no, nothing like that. Do you think a little bit of that's because you had to sing so much when you first started out that you developed like a really strong like hours at a time performing in the... We started the interview, right?

No, no, we're not recording yet. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So I'll tell you the truth off air. I don't know if you're kidding right now. No, I'm kidding. I don't know.

I can't tell. Yeah, I know. I'm like, you're still talking in the mic. So dry, I don't know what he's doing here. I'm not able to express things with my face. Go ahead. Yeah, I sang so much, played harmonica so much, that actually the first surgery had to go through the front of my throat and move my vocal cords in all of the veins and arteries out of the

way to get to my spine. And I was supposed to take 45 minutes. It took an hour and a half. And the surgeon said that half of that time. was figuring out where to put the veins and arteries, you know, they were just, they were so big. Because you'd worked them so hard. Yeah. Wow.

So he had to take all that time to move all that stuff out of the way. Did you have anything in the book that you hadn't thought about it in a long time and then you just re-appreciated it so much because you kind of relived it? Yeah, all of that, all of the surgeries and recoveries. I got pretty good at recovering quickly and getting. back to work and getting off pain pills after like two days, three days max, and getting back to normal. I got pretty good at that. So, you know, my psyche was always about getting going again. And going back through that, talking to my surgeon and getting all the information and getting

all that right and looking at the totality of it got me. It's getting me now. you know if this if if these things had happened to me you know 30 years earlier they wouldn't had nearly as good a fix for them back then and i would have probably suffered more uh so i look at that and i'm just i'm so grateful uh that i had a great surgeon i had confidence in and he was pushing the envelope, doing experimental stuff, developing his own plates, you know, for stability plates. And, you know, he was on the front edge of stem cell injections, which I had, working with Korea, who was ahead of us. And so I was in really good hands. What do you guys' role about playing in the rain?

As long as it's not dangerous, if the crowd is. sticking around. There have been some situations where we were made to stop and there was just too much water getting in and people could get hurt or killed. But when you're playing for a crowd in the rain and they're staying, you know, you just, you're just given, you know, where's that 110%? Where's 120? You know, can I? I do, it's better than what I do. Because you're grateful for them for standing in the rain. So you're going to play.

I was just going to try to give them everything I've got, as opposed to by normal 80%. Which, yeah, you're just kind of show up and go through the motions. Was there ever a moment with Killing Time, Better Man, those two songs early on that if like one little thing wouldn't have happened, one random thing wouldn't have happened, maybe those songs don't become really successful? Yeah, I was doing the promo tour playing songs for program directors who decide what's going on in the air. What year was this, you think? This was 89.

This would be, well, no, it would have been late 88 or January of 89. And so we're at KZLA, Bob Guerra, sitting in his office. hand him the tape of the single. He hits play, listens to a chorus and a verse, and hits stop, and says, he goes, you know, if you get that into the top 20, I can add it to our playlist. I'm thinking, oh, that sounds terrible. How do I get into the top 20 without you already playing it? And the song was straight from the factory, which is the first cut on the album, Western Swing,

and I had this little feeling that Western Swing isn't going to go over in every market, a term I would later use cities is what I called them. But, you know, cities, big cities, you know, they may not play a Western Swing song. I had a cassette in my pocket of the other songs, and the one I wanted to be the single I had, it was the first song on the cassette. I wasn't sure if it was okay. And Carson Schreiber was the promotion guy for West Coast. And I kind of looked at him.

I looked at Bob and I said, can I play you another song? And Bob said, sure. So he put it in, better man. He listens to the verse and the chorus. He had stopped. My heart stopped. And he said, I'll add that out of the box. So he added it immediately.

No, no, not yet. It wasn't the single. And this was just introducing me. But he said, I'll add that out of the box. And we walked out into the parking lot and I grabbed Carson. I said, we have to change the single. And he agreed. He called Joe Galani, told him the story, and they changed the single.

Had you not gone to your pocket, your career may have had a completely different trajectory. Yeah, it may have been a slower startup if it did get legs. But a better man went number one. And that was noteworthy because debut. singles going number one don't happen all the time. Then it was killing time. Killing time. And those two songs became the number one and two singles of the year in Billboard,

which was another noteworthy news item. And the last time it had happened was 35-ish years earlier with Hank Williams, Sr. 35 years earlier with two songs I sang in the bars, you're cheating heart and collagea and uh and now my story has a connection to hank senior you know was there a point where you started to go to award shows and you felt like you belonged like when did that start happening no it took a couple of years you know uh i was it was a lot of deep breathing and you can see if you see me getting my first cma award my first award uh i i get up you know, in front of the microphone holding my award and I take a big breath.

It's just, you know. Do you know what it was for? The Horizon Award. Which is best new artist. Yeah. Dang. That's awesome. It was, you know, and I'm looking out at, you know, Reba and Haggard and Skaggs and straight and, you know, everybody, everybody else.

They're all right there in front of me. It's just, okay, be normal. It's the thing I kept saying. Be normal. Yeah, you just, you look good. You're standing well. You know, how don't know. That's another funny thing.

You know, people don't think about they see new artists performing. And sometimes, you know, we look goofy. I still look goofy. But we're all having that conversation. I'm sure you've had it. Not completely impostered every day. Don't stand that way anymore. You've been standing that way too long. Billy Joel's singing, you know, honesty, such a something word. I wonder, maybe I have a tuna sandwich tonight. Don't go changing. I had that last night. Try and please, you know, I'm thinking, you know, I'm leaving here, better man.

Okay, stand on the left leg. I always cut people slack when I start to get judgy because I know, you know, we're all just trying to be normal, but it's not normal to be up there doing that, you know? The book is out today. So Clint Black, killing time. What do you want people to know from the book, like overall? I didn't overdo it with the commas. Okay.

I really was judicious with that. You know, you can read sentences right through without anything, you know, speed bumps to slow you down. I get tired of those in books. What kind of music did your brothers play around you when you were young? Well, my dad, big-time country like Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett, outside of that, it was all country. And then when I was about eight, my brother started bringing. home the deep purple lead zeppelin wishbone ash you know just anything that was happening on the texas radio yeah and uh and so you know this as the years went by it was it was more and more

of that rock and roll by the time i was 13 i was uh starting to look for my own records uh you know getting the redheaded stranger some loggins of massina jim croce damn foggoburg And so I had all that country stuff, you know, as my base. And then my brothers, you know, the rock and roll. And then I started going for the singer-songwriters, you know. I hope everybody goes and buys the book. It is out today. Clint Black, killing time.

I hope you sell a million. Thank you. Man, that'd be crazy if he sold a million, though. What are you saying? Did that be crazy if you sell a million? Because that's a lot's a big number. You didn't expect it. I guess you can stream a book.

They should buy the audio book. Did you do your audio book? I did my audio book. You go through this process and it's like, okay, I finish the book. And then the editor gives you notes. Oh, I got to go through the whole book again. And then you go, okay, that's done. And then the editor gives you more notes and you do it again.

And then you do that again. And then the legal gives you notes. And now you have to go through it with legal. And then now it's, okay, read this one more time and that's it. We'll have to read it one more time. And that's when it starts impacting me emotionally when my dad died. I broke down reading something I wrote and re-read already five times. And like that last time when I'm going through it meticulously, I broke down and sobbed.

And then I'm done. And then, okay, we need to schedule the first. audio book recording and now I'm reading it and you can hear my voice shaking at times trying to get through that it took me five days to read it on tape so get killing time you can order it or you can listen to it you can download it and listen to the audio book because that counts too that's right and I'll be saying things in it do we hear the comments You know, I had to really become an actor in order to, you know, do the pauses, observe the periods. Deliver on the exclamation marks.

I'll be listening for that. You know, yeah, yeah. There's little music in there at the top. There is? I put some, me and my guitar and harmonica. Oh, you had in the room with you? No, I did that later. What do you mean?

after we finished recording the book, then I came up with some music. Oh, and added it to it later. Guys, go get it. It's out today. Clint Black, killing time. There he is. The lovely.

Lovely, Black. There he is. Lovely twice. Lovely twice. I had a nickel for every time someone called me lovely. I'd have a nickel. Oh, I said it twice, though. Ten cents.

All right, there he is. Clint Black, everybody. We're going to wrap this up. All right. Thank you, everybody. We will see you tomorrow. Bye. There was no anything inside those eyes.

They turned black. It scared the hell out of me. Evil, wake up. I'm the one that saw the murder take place by Krivac and DePippo. Anthony DePippo showed no signs of remorse, appearing unfazed after being sentenced to the maximum. I said I'm not guilty. I'll take it to the grave.
