Best Bits: JUST THE BITS

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan, I kill just the Bitch.

Howdy everybody.

I hope your weekend is already starting off.

Awesome and now it's just about to get that much better because you're here.

At least, that's what I like to think.

Before I catch you up on the segments from the show this week, be sure to check out Part one, Part three this weekend with Raymundo.

He's back. He took a little break because.

He moved out to the country and he had a lot of stuff going on.

And now he's back and we get an update on life his cat Piper, how him and his wife are doing with their big move. We talk about relationships and dating. It's a lot of fun stuff over there. On part one and part three, you guys had some questions about his obsession with Sam Hunt and if he plans to still go on Big Brother. So just a few things that are up over there. Check them out. But now the reason you're here catch up on the show. Let's go,

Right now, number seven, we're going to go around the room.

It's a fun bit, right, we're playful, everybody, Hey, playful? Right, yeah, go on, don't get me fired. What are we boycotting? That's the question.

Now.

I asked this because Mike d movie. Mike is now boycotting a movie. I've never heard of such thing. What movie isn't? Why you boycotting it?

I'm boycotting The Crow because they're remaking it, and it's the movie that Brandon Lee died while shooting the movie.

But why boycott it? Though?

Because that movie should be his legacy. He died while making that. They finish it after him. That has been like a historic thing in movie history. It should not be remade.

I felt the way that way about Simba's dad, he was killed making. Yeah, they made a second one. Yeah, saw a boycott. I've never seen it.

Man, Good for you a little bit though.

You're being a little dramatic.

Right, No, I don't think they should remake it.

That is what everybody knows him for.

That is why that movie has lived on and they're doing it as a cash grab, like, hey, you remember this dark thing that happened with this movie, We're gonna remake it and it's not gonna be any good.

Well, no, I don't think they're saying it's not gonna be any good. You're inserting that.

Now they say it's not gonna be any to go, Well, say.

That, what if it's the best movie comes out in his honor?

Oh yeah, Ever, I was willing to give it a chance. But the trailer came out recently and it looks horrible. Okay, it looks like a generic action movie, and the first one had just so much charm to it, and now they're just gonna ruin it.

So basically, he got high on his moral ground once he saw the trailer and knew it was gonna be bad, then he could step up and say I'm boycott Yeah, man, I knew for sure what it was like.

Yeah, it was like maybe I should boycott this. And he saw that it was just kind of cartoony, and it's like, I'm not gonna support it. Although I get it. Everybody's making cash grabs. You have to, but it doesn't take away from his legacy in that movie. That's all I think it does of all the movies to remake.

I know they remake everything at this point, but where somebody died?

Uh?

There are people have died on movie sets. Didn't some of the people dine on Wizard of Oz?

Or was that in the middle of Later in Life from the makeup?

Yeah?

Yeah, what I did not know that movie?

Mike tells more.

Yeah, the ten Man, the first guy who played him, the whatever they use in that paint ended up suffering from some kind of lead poisoning stuff.

That's tragic.

Oh man, I have never watched that movie again.

Boycotting.

Boycotting, Yeah, boycotting. Okay, what are you boycotting? This is scary for me to let you guys say this Amy.

Mine's personal go ahead. So I'm boycotting my meds.

So I quit taking that thinking about that. Maybe you should like nope.

This is nope.

But I feel like if yeah, when I was thinking, okay, what's something, I'm not boycotting anything like crazy or public out there that I'm like, I don't want to be around. But I do open up my door every day and I'm like, okay, not gonna take my adderall that's my own personal choice, and I've I'm doing it, and.

Okay, I hear you, And good for her. She's making a decision.

I like I'm having power.

It makes it a little more difficult for me. Sure, right, I'm not like it. When she doesn't.

Boycott, I'll get to the other side. I'm just still in that. I'm in a sort of a fidgety phase and maybe that will stick around. I'm not sure. But I would just encourage anybody else if you're looking to do anything like that, consult a doctor. I'm not here to say that you should boycott all this.

It drops a matter on your water and you didn't know it.

Probably I'd probably noticed right away. And but I'm just trying some alternative methods and we'll see how they work.

Lunchbox, what are you boycotting?

I am boycotting Disney Plus. I read an article that they are going to stop the free loading and they are going to start charging people for passwords sharing. So I right now am making a statement I won't be watching Disney Plus.

So you're actually doing the You can't fire me. I quit, yep, because I got to kick you out anyway, because you're not paying for it.

That's right. Get My cousin Andrew and his wife Ellen have been letting me use their Disney account, and now it is not going to allow that. So I have decided I am boycotting Disney.

Well, I mean they've decided they're eventually gonna boycott you. So I liked, you're getting ahead of it.

Yeah, I got ahead of them. I'll show them Eddie.

Okay.

So I mentioned this a little bit last week, Like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey. You know, there's too much paparazza going on. You're gonna ruin their relationship. So I am boycotting clicking on any article that says Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift.

There's one that came out.

A couple of days ago about a secret trip they took to Nashville, and I'm like, I.

Want to read, I'm not gonna do it.

Medication to help you.

You can have amy.

Yeah no no, no, no, no no, no, of course not no, no. I'm boycotting the Tampa Bay Buccaneer football team.

Oh boy, the whole team.

Now that's just I mean part of it, right. I used to be a big Baker Mayfield guy and he's gotten too big to answer my messages now, and so I supported them wholeheartedly last year. I was a big Baker guy, big Baker show. I'm boycotting the Bucks and that show biz baby. They didn't even exist to me until I don't know. I don't know what he can do.

Baker hasn't replied all that anything.

Now, all of a sudden, make a hundred million bucks.

Yeah, man, money, he's busy.

Maybe he's on Baker.

A guy I know was playing golf for them at a driver at a driving Really, I see bakeruptare and go say something. It's like, I don't know who that is. Baker Mayfield not even dead to me, never existed, boycotting him until I don't even know. I don't even know what it is. But all of a sudden't trying to answer his friend anymore. So, Mike, good.

Luck on your boycott.

You're doing you and your boycott?

Yeah yeah, Mike joins me. I joined Mike, good luck. I'm watching the first one, watching the second one.

Now, this is the first one worth watching.

I like it, Okay, I don't.

Know that says that answers usually know, though I like it. Do you like that restaurant, well, I mean I like it.

It's very protective of it.

So it's the best bits of the week. With Morgan number two, we.

Played a whole lot of never Gonna Get It this week because we were giving away a trip to our iHeart Country Festival in Austin, Texas. Now tickets are still on sales, so you can go and buy them, come hang out with us, see a whole lot of amazing live music.

The question is one third of Americans say this would definitely be a deal breaker if they were looking to buy a home. One third of Americans say this would definitely be a deal breaker if they were looking to.

So she will get home. Carol's stay on the line there and we will get that. She is a good job.

No good job, no, no see here. That's that's the annoying part is Amy's gonna get the credit when I would go home.

No one will have to make this about you. This is about Carol.

That's right.

Everything does have to be made.

About you or you just said good job Amy?

Why amye got it right? And she picked Amy.

That's what I'm saying. But good job.

It's not about you.

Everything's not about you.

It's about Carol.

Carol wins Amy, good job, Thanks, that was awesome.

Though it up right, it's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

Number two, someone on the show was dubbed the most difficult employee. And you're gonna hear the beginning of this segment and you're probably gonna know.

Where it's about to end up. I'll just point that out.

You know, maybe we need to do some awards that are a little bit more positive.

So you guys come.

Up with some and you want to award the show things. I'll pitch it to the show as an idea. I mean, I'm just throwing that out there because it's positivity. But this will make you laugh and maybe you have a difficult employee like this in your life.

Number five.

Amy handed me this article. She goes, you should read this and then we should figure out who's who, or maybe nobody's anybody. It's here are the top types of difficult employees, and then it gives you how to handle them. But mostly it's like number one, the sloth. They don't work at your pace or anybody else's pace, and they seem lazy and disengaged. Anybody, anybody and anybody here be the sloth I don't think that works.

But somebody that works kind of Oh you're saying this like I would think lunch bots. But he isn't really worse.

It's disengaged.

Yeah, I mean Eddie's mentally slow. Does that count?

I don't think Eddie?

Why am I mentally slow?

That's just how you are, man. I don't know why I was born that way?

So who's the most slow? Thie? It's like we have to they have to take They don't work at everybody else's pace. They seem lazy. They're disengaged.

See the keyword is seam. It doesn't mean they are.

Yeah, why are you protect your boy again?

I need to stop.

I know who is it.

I know that.

I'm not gonna even say I'm gonna let you guys.

Pick and I have the palette in mind.

When you're going to share the solutions.

Solution has approached them with kindness and respect.

I got a question, he gets.

Slothier if you do that?

Would Eddie be that? I mean, because he's going to donate a kidney, He's gonna do a bone marrow, and he hasn't.

I mean, he doesn't do It's a different Maybe we get to somebody else and that's.

Not my work, and he's also want to do myself.

Not disengaged lunchbos Do you play wordle when we have guests here that's just.

Admitted to watching Mister Beasts video in the middle of a segment one. Okay, okay, so.

What we don't know how much that got got We have to be kind and well.

If you want to fix it, approach them with kindness and respect. It's tough one point, lunchbox. Next up the belly acre. They dwell on problems out loud. They drain employee morale.

Okay, that's lunchbox.

What in the world, Amy, I don't want to.

Pick one of these?

That means you want to pick.

Yeah, multiple people.

I can take you out of it and put like ray in. If you're like, if you don't have the guts for.

The bit, I have the I I submitted the bit exactly.

Do you have the guts to do the bit you submitted?

Here's the honest.

Okay, if you want to fix it, consider your co worker's complaints objectively and coming why this coworker is bothering you when I belliate you guys need to realize that working with your colleague to find a solution together. Yeah, I mean I'd vote for myself on that one because I do complain, because no one listens to my complaint. Wow, he voted for himself number Lunchbox two points. Next up the spotlight Hog once more credit than necessary Eddie.

Okay, that's Lunchbox.

What do you mean there's another point you're anytime Abby talks like you're.

Doing to other voters, Morgan, Ray, you got to vote too many bigger voting the spotlight Hog Morgan, Yeah, Lunchbox Ray.

Sadly, my vote is Lunchbox.

Okay, solution, Okay, big brother solution. Acknowledge the contributions your coworker did.

Yeah, acknowledged.

Next up the hot Shot. Loud rarely accepts constructive criticism. They steamroll other people on the team.

That's a tough one now, Yeah.

Yeah, so these are difficult types of Ray.

Yeah, for the reason that it's tough to get a word in edgewise with him. I vote Lunchbox Morgan.

I don't know who could it be?

Lunchbox passionate about your work, Loud, Lunchbox.

Amy, Lunchbox, What is wrong with that? Though?

That's the hot shot.

Okay, how do we deal with him?

Lunchbox four? To deal with that one, try appealing to their ego and ask them for advice about a problem you're having, if it's not a real problem.

See, so what you're saying is I'm a well rounded and boy.

I got all these that's what you hear.

I mean really, when it comes down.

To it, like you guys all sucking million boys because you ain't any of these well guys doing.

These are the four difficult employees. These aren't the fotunes happy about points. This is you're above, You're the positive. It ain't good. Okay, there's one more. This one's probably not lunchbox, but the first four hilarious and in order. I didn't do those in any certain way. The gossip friendly and personable, but can stir up uncomfortable situations and put you in a positions. It kind of is lunchbox.

That's lunchbox.

It's freaking lunchbox too. I didn't think it was.

Filled the tea you find behind lunches.

That you are okay, friendly and because he's like, I'm your best friend andilly burns you, but can still up uncomfortable situations and put in a positions that you're not sure how to handle, sometimes publicly. Amy.

I mean, I feel like it's tied with the two te spillers over here. Okay, thank you lunch Box and Eddie. They spilled the tea on.

To stir the pot. Okay, fine, he likes to stick his nose and either he's sticking like a covert.

Well, this is friendly and personable. He is, okay, make sure, make sure. Okay, so Amy gives him both to pot.

Take it, Morgan, Yeah, I was actually gonna say both Eddie and Lunchbox, because Eddie sometimes will.

Walk in a room, drop something and leave, like he didn't just drop the whole bomb on everybody, you know, like a.

Little teething little gossip.

Let me just see what happens.

He'll linger just so you can get something.

Yeah, yeah, ray, Yeah.

If gossip needs to be planted in a room, Eddie is great at doing it, and for that, I vote Eddie.

Okay, Well, Eddie get a point.

Okay, great, man, you're the gossip. I'm one of the employees.

Solution have the hot shot, spotlight hog and belly acre and soft punch him.

Yeah.

So I guess we gotta do it. Give it a hit. No, that's not it. The solution is ignore it if you're but they both do it so it's hard to ignore. Like forty percent of the show, if your coworker wants to share a story that oversteps boundaries, leave or plightly diverse to conversation, the next time we play that spilled the tea, we all walk out of the room.

By yourself.

Well you too, Lunchbox four points Eddie one.

Other people may be worried. You guys aren't on the radar.

That's not that's that's a radar of like an enemy plane coming in. You don't want to be on the radar because you're trying to That's that's a not a good radar but fun, big good job Amy. That was Amy stirring up. She knew what was gonna happen for sure.

I didn't know.

She didn't say we should go that direction, but she knew I would go that direction.

Where'd you find this?

Or it's a good story?

You do?

What do you doing over there?

I just I'm partaking in this segment about me.

Go it's the best Bits of the week with Morgan Number two.

Changing your voice and be boxing two different things unless you got like some animation going on? Why be boxing?

But no?

I mean is that like are you able to do those kind of what the same part of your brain that you're able to beat box with? And and mimic sounds of instruments? Only God knows only?

Yeah, what impressions do you have?

I mean some everything burning back?

We had to beat that. But okay, so.

That's pretty good though.

That was pretty good.

That's really good.

Can you hear and automatically go? And is that a skill of yours? Can you mimic pretty quickly? Yeah?

I made me pretty fast?

Has that always been something you could do?

Like?

How old were you when you first started to be able to beat box?

About seven?

Really?

Yeah? Why?

And why why did you beat boxing? Seven? Was it just music in the house?

Yeah, hearing music. I didn't even know what beatboxing was. And then I was told by one of my family members, you're actually be boxing I'd just go around the house. I don't know why.

Letna try hold on? Do it again? First time? Not so bad? Huh, not so bad at my first time. Trying a lot. So if you were, if I were to like, would be someone like, hey, Block, just give me a beat with your mouth. What they say, give me a beat with your mouth? Or they say, yeah, yeah, give me a beat. A question, when do you breathe?

Like?

I feel like you're just gonna the whole time.

I don't even know when I breathe. I just breathed automatically, naturally. While I'm doing it.

Agains that you're going in and out like a harmonica.

Man.

Yeah, while I'm going I'm just taking a breath in through my nose and continue to go through my mouth.

You know what I thought was really good? Your version to take me Home Country Roads. We played it on the show a bit too.

Yes, And I always pull out my spoons.

Oh you played the spoons last time you were here.

I have my spoons every time.

Yeah. Are people always like, what's he playing? Or can they identify that it's a spoon pretty quick?

They definitely know. They look at me and say, ain't no way. He pulling out these spoons. We didn't expect that during the show.

Oh, he has spoons.

I always have spoons. They don't go nowhere.

For two reasons. One music or cereal. At any point he could get hit with either.

And when you want some suit with that the juice, you just use the spoon with the holes in it.

So the spoon with the holes in it is that because it makes a different noise.

It's a whole nother sound.

And do you play spoons with one hand or two? Both play a little one hand, so you use fingers and leg Now do you ever do you ever play on your jewelry? Or is it to cost you much?

Man? I messed up the whole uh two tone Rolex and they got spoons on it. And when I took it to Rolex, they say, man, that's your sickness. Joh, I wouldn't even touch this watch. So I said, y'all, y'all got a good little point. I'm gonna just keep them right here for the memories.

So you beat a watch with the spoons?

Yep.

Man, I think they just don't want to replace it.

Now it was under warranted. They would have cleaned it up. But yeah, I mean it had too many marks on it. I mean coming from the get up and doing that the whole time. Yeah, three four years. They said, we don't really really want to touch their history, but we could do it.

Where do you play the get up on your set last beginning?

Both, No, it's like eighty percent through the show.

That song so big? Yes? Do you ever get annoyed because it's so big? People only want to hear that. No.

By the time I started my set, people say, man, we didn't know you could sing so well.

Oh for sure, I didn't know you could sing so well when you came in here and performed the first time.

Oh yeah, yeah, I was kind.

Of blown away. You were in that motorcycle accident. From the last time that I saw you, you got into that motorcycle, right, Did that change anything about first, not not like perspective on life, but like physically, did it change anything with your voice or your hands or anything like that?

Oh? Yeah. So nine months later I opened up for Looke Combs in Florida, sixty thousand folk and my hand just let go to mic had to double tape the microphone to my hand because of the nerves new risk construction pelvis construction and I have two leg constructions like metal knee and a ride and some of everything going to my ankle, so it changed everything.

What happened in that accident, I got hit by drunk.

Driver head on. I was in second gear on my Indian motorcycle, a little sports bike but it's a touring bike with cruise ConTroll and everything. Also second gear, making the left. I saw a truck coming at me head on. I tried to dodge him. He met me right at the yellow line, getting back in his lane. I hit the side, went through the windshield, land on the bed died. You went wrapped to the hospital.

Hold on, I got a lot of the unpack here, so you went through the wind shild.

My head went through the windshield and then I flipped over the truck.

So it was poof you remember it at all?

I remember everything really. I looked him dead in his face while I was going through the windshield, and I talked to people through taking my helmet off because I was suffocating from the strap. It had to tightened because the windshield had to pulled it and yanked it. It saved my face.

Do you think you're gonna die?

Yeah?

I felt like I was going to be gone, and on the way to the house, I asked the paramedic could I make a call? I kept on asking them, Am I gonna live? I say, if I ain't gonna live, could I make a call? And uh, I plead the blood of Jesus the whole way through, all the way to the first initial break in. At the hospital, they broke my wrists back in place, my legs back in place while I was looking at them. No anesthesia because I didn't have enough blood. I had had to get

Know, yeah, so And on the way you say they pronounced you dead or you felt like you died?

Oh yeah, I was gone at the door. So I think it was God's timing, and it definitely stirred me up in my life. Announced dead at the door, went through the doors, came back to life, saw all the white and the worst thing I ever heard in my life was somebody saying, if we don't get John Doe blood, he ain't gonna make it. That's the worst thing I ever heard. Because it was and nothing I could do about it. I couldn't get up and ask for blood, Like, hey,

And I can't even know who you work, they said, John, because it was all so quick, and it's like not like they could identify you.

They didn't know who I was. And my backpack had my ID and stuff in it. They said they was throwing a mile and a half down the street.

So what do you remember next after that? Did you go out for a while, like were you unconscious for a while?

I remember going to a blank space, and then I woke up the next morning in the hospital and I see you and I had like a contraption around my pelvis, pushing my pelvis together. I couldn't move a leg onto my painful in the growing area. Everything They were saying, this is for the betterment of you, because my pelvist was broken, and you know, you can like bleed from that real bad, real fast, and it could be over so by the grizz of God man, I got through that.

I said, Oh man, what a her worst doubt are getting kicked in the nuts.

Now.

The worst thing about the whole experience was that.

I passed on this question. I don't move on past this one. I don't like think about that.

That's the worst. I don't wish that on nobody.

Of all the things, he says, that's the worst.

That was worse than anything like I's making a joke, but the catha like oh, and people don't notice. But when the catheter goes in, they pump it up and it turns into a bubble and it feels your yeah, the inside without that and a guy, a guy in the hospital actually pull his out and bust everything.

While you were there, you.

Make sure no, no, no, I'm still blessed.

So when you get out of the hospital, did you have full mobility.

No, I couldn't walk now. My left legs still has ah. I have dropped foot on my left foot. You haven't seen people walk and they go down before it goes up. So it's like mine ain't that bad because I just prayed a lot and walked through a lot and I was determined. But rop foot is when you can't get your heel up in order to do a regular step in motion.

So how do you feel now every day?

Like physically, I still have nerve damage and pain in my left foot on the left leg. It was the worst of it all. I keep a bubble like my legs stay with a bubble on it. It swells up the more I walk. It turned into a not by the end of the day. Then it's herns off, the feeling going to my ankle. Then it made my foot feel like it's on fire.

When did you start making music again after you got to the hospital? How long?

Man?

It had to be at least a year because I couldn't work through the nerve damage and the pain. I had a horrific case of nerve damage, and every day I woke up it felt like my foot was on fire. They said my nerves were missed. They were overshooting trying to catch connect connectivity, and yeah, that's that was actually the worst thing ever. But I never want that cathetic again either. Matter of fact, the catheter was so bad. I'm telling you, I don't hear it, but okay, they

Like I'm activated now, I haven't hear about it to do it. Yeah, that sounds pretty bad.

Uh so.

That's tough. I don't even think cathter Yeah, man, it's the worst. That's a bad one. That's a for guy that's that that having to pass like a kinney stone.

Man, it's the worst. Yeah, I mean, I can don't. I don't even want to think.

About me and I've been thinking about it for like ten minutes almost stop think about it.

Uh.

So you put out uh the four new songs a couple of days ago, the fifth, April fifth, Right, so you perform one of the force You good? Can you you go?

Yeah?

Definitely I can still perform. That's my gift, my purpose and my Cabling's.

Make sure now Sunshine shines. That's a very what I like about that. There's no catheter. Definitely, don't even mention the word cather in the song, like I'm trying to all that from my mind. So mostly it's like a positive song. It's no catheter. Uh you want to do

You got to man, this is a vintage crew jacket from eighty some, the Famine of Back to the Future, so the original art. This is actually the jacket mint condition.

That's amazing.

Yep.

Then you collect a lot of stuff, huh.

Yeah, I love vintage pieces.

That's pretty cool. You got to even the button on the front.

Yeah.

I mean only the film crew got them, and you and I have one.

Yeah. Blanck O'brown got a new EP Alcoholtache and Lemonade, and that is the newest song there. It's I love it. It's positive. Yeah, it's sunshine shine. Good to see you. Glad you're healthy and it's been a while since the right wait and talk to you except on the phone since then.

Indeed, you look good. That's a blessing.

Did they shave your face at all when you were sick, like when you were in the hospital.

Nope.

I ended up doing it with cast on my hands maybe two months later. I got footage of it too.

They didn't put a cat through anywhere else that did.

It's the best Bits of the week with Morgan number two.

If you're a big fan of our fantasy drafts, another one went down this week. We did a draft of soothing sounds in my team. I'll just say I felt really confident in my team. I had rainfall, crackling fireplace, and soft jazz music, which any putted out that it's like I want a man, but really those things just soothe me. Those are things when I think about soothing stuff, all of those things make.

Me happy and feel soothed. Whatever. You know, you here for yourself and you let us know.

Number three the draft is the most soothing sounds we spun the wheel before Amy gets the first overall pick Amy, most soothing sounds draft. What do you got?

Waves crashing?

Oh, that's definitely number one.

That's so good too, because like there are sounds that play waves crashing to actually put you to sleep, right, got it? Good waves? Okay, going over to lunchbox. Lunchbox soothing sounds.

Oh yeah, you ever sat on the back porch in the morning, right when the birds start chirping? Birds chirping?

Have you?

Yeah? Okay, kids are up early on the weekends.

Man, birds chirping, Eddie.

I'm gonna do same with the water, but I'm gonna do a river flowing.

Okay.

Definitely a difference in waves crashing river fall.

No, that sound that's good.

All right, more get over to you. Soothing sounds.

Yeah, I cannot believe it made it all the way to me. Also in water, but I'm going rainfall listening to the rain.

That's really good.

Rainfall.

Okay, yeah, yeah, I didn't have that one, Morgan.

I'm gonna wait. I don't think anybody's gonna take mine a main one, so I'm gonna hold off and take another strong one and maybe get mine in round three unless someone gets it. I'm gonna go with and the soothing sounds draft, I'm gonna do it. I'm not gonna let it slip. I'm gonna do and it's it's a bit more specific than Morgan's. But rain on a tin.

Roof, that's good. I have that on a summer night.

Yeah, we change it.

Rain on a tin roof is mine mostly think I lived in a camper for about two years, and I always liked doing to rain. Because all right, that's round one. Amy had waves, lunch, had birds chirping, Eddie had river. Morgan had rainfall, and had rain on a tin roof. All right, so I'll go first in the second round. Now I could pander a bit, which I know is a great sound to everybody else but not me, And that would be pandering, like trying to present something that I know people like.

Yeah, do it though, I mean, I'm sure we can all agree on something that sounds soothing, like unless you do, like nails on a chalk.

I don't know, man, it's so pandury. I'm not gonna do it. I'll tell you what it was later.

Okay.

I don't want to pander, so I'm gonna go with soothing sounds, sizzling faheedas or bacon.

Dang, that's a good sound.

Okay, let's go over to Morgan.

All right.

You know it's like really cold out and you always put one of these on the crackling fireplace.

That's good.

You got me.

I might pander when he comes back to me. I might need a pander.

Call an audible.

She took mine, Eddie.

Oh there's another.

Okay, okay, okay. For my number two pick, I'm going with thunder on the horizon.

All right, garth thunder rolls thunder on the horizon, okay.

Because you don't want it right over you, because that's scary, that's not soothing.

You want them horizon and also the words thunder on the horizon just sounds soothing.

Too, just a word, it's just beautiful, man, lunchbox.

We're drafting the soothing sounds.

Go ahead, Yeah, guys, soothing sounds. You want something that'll make you relax and put a smile on your face, make you feel at ease. Is that what you're looking for here? Because it's baby giggles, a baby giggling.

Okay, okay, sweet, it is sweet.

Is this lunchbox talking?

It's a I lunchbox like two weeks ago, the real one we cut them, got this one for half price.

Amy a cat purring?

Hmm, there's nothing poping. No, there's nothing sweeter than a cat per.

And you have wage crashing and a cat purring. We start with you now in the third round, the final round, drafting soothing sounds.

Go ahead.

Yeah. I feel like I'm sort of stuck here for.

A second because you have so many, because I have so many.

I have like none. Oh, I'm out, I'm dry, I mean crackling fire and that forty.

I'm trying to pump the well and nothing's coming out.

Your girl up.

Wait, no, it doesn't work like that.

Yeah.

Does who says there are no rules?

Said?

Okay, I don't go with this lunchbox parting.

That's a good one.

It's soothing to him.

A lunchbug's whispering.

Okay, is that your answer? This that you love him so much? When do you hear there are theories behind the scenes of these two? What is not romantic theory? Not?

But there's nothing.

We don't there's nothing.

Okay, go ahead, Oh my.

Gosh, okay, let's go with hmmm. I think just any whisper, whisper a whisper.

Okay, all right.

What you're saying not going to win.

But I got waves crashing.

I know sometimes people only vote on the first round. I hear you, lunchbox.

Oh do you want a noise that makes you feel good?

I see the call map right now, go ahead.

What's a smile on your face? It's that crunching of snow crun.

Snow crunching in your mouth or.

Fat oh feet when you're walking on that snow.

It's got it.

I'm not going to say he's a lost.

Way wetter than way, better than whisper. What snow crunching can't be. I'm not saying it's great, but snow crunching can't be creepy.

People love a SMR whispering can or a mess r or whatever.

Eddie, oh man, all right, that was pretty dry. The well was dry. But I got something. Go ahead, I'm gonna go with wind chimes.

Oh that's annoying.

What are you talking about?

Don't I want to just slam them?

You don't like wind chimes?

But that was actually good, dude, I gotta be honest with you.

But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what we like. Ranch in Texas, that's wind. You could have just that. You could have said, like a large guest of wind.

You didn't wait for the time. Man, my b bad, my back.

All right, Morgan, you have rainfall in a crackling fireplace.

Yeah, and I'm deciding between two that are Yeah, I don't know if you will get.

One of them soothing sounds. It's a draft, soothing sounds.

Go ahead.

I think I'm gonna go with this, because, like, if you ever go and get a massage, or you go get your nails done, or even just kind of hanging out in a lobby of nowhere, this is what you're hearing, and it kind of calms you down.

It's soft jazz music.

Soft jazz music. Okay, So I'm the last one, so I can go through a bunch of mine since nobody can steal it. A couple of mine that I like, and some of them are specific to just me. But I like a basketball swoshing through the net, nothing but net. That's a comfortablee. I like the opening rep of the National anthems, a soothing sound done. I like a golf ball going into a hope.

Ah, that's nice.

I like, well, I like my Stanley's asleep, but that's snoring. My wife would not agree. She hates that sound. Loud, loud. The one that I was going to pander with is the it's cracking a cold one.

Oh but see that's okay though, because even though you don't drink, hearing somebody go it's pretty.

Soothing, especially if it's you though doing it.

It's the best Man Friday.

Night, or coffee pouring into a cup. That sound. I can't do my mouth the liquid hitting.

That's pandering because you hate coffee.

But at least I've had it.

You should have done Heavy rain never popped.

Well we have two rain ones. Anyways, she does heavy Rain on it not ten roof. I have the bell at the end of class. Nice like you said, because class is over.

I have I have silence that is soothing, especially when you have four kids.

Silence is a strong one. I have Chris Stapleton's voice.

Okay, oh that is soothing.

It's not very soothing.

But none of those I'm not gonna do any of those. I'm gonna do. Crickets at night in the summer.

Yeah, that's that's awesome. What do you mean, crickets the sound of summer night?

Just because you said whisper and we all laughed, don't take it out on me.

You don't like the sound of nighttime out.

Nighttime, summer outside crickets like that is awesome.

Basically their form of whispering.

The crickets are whispering. That's what you're hearing. So it's like a double Okay. So those are our teams. Go vote to Bobbybones dot com. We'll have a winner after you guys vote, but we will not attach our aims to them. If you listen to this, you know basically who they are. But we don't want you to go vote based on the first round or the person you like the most. But Amy has.

Waves crashing, waves crashing.

We have cat purring, and somebody in a white man whispering to a kid.

Very soon.

Exactly what we said.

Kid.

Luck Bucks has birds chirping, He has baby giggling, and he has snow crunching.

Who is this guy?

Eddie has roaring, rushing thunder on the horizon and wind chimes. Morgan has rainfall, crackling fireplace and soft jazz.

So good.

Morgan sounds like she wants a man over into the house. All right, all of them do there's jazz? Was the fireplace?

Morgan is like a fantasy? Yeah, yeah, yeah, gosh, a deep voice telling you to come a little closer. You can add that and then me, I have rained on a tin roof, sizzling fajitas or bacon or crickets at night in the summertime. Vote on the soothing sound team you like the best.

Good job, everybody, Thank you.

I don't know how I feel about my team.

Thanks. Yeah.

I may have blown it with that wind chime.

Yeah we all.

A whisper.

Oh yeah, a lot of people have windchimes.

Oh that's true.

I mean a lot of people are annoying because if they're too close to somebody else.

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

Number two.

The anticipation killed us all week, Lunchbox tease day after day that.

He was going to blast someone on the show and he had.

Crazy tea to spill.

He even gave the opportunity for anybody to turn themselves in via email. Nobody did because like nobody knew even the contents of what the spill the tea was. Well, the blast finally happened. Lunchbox shit his major spill the tea, and I am not going to say.

Whether it was clickbait or not.

You are just going to have to listen right now and you can decide it was entertaining. But I will mention that during these segments this week and talking about it, there was something that I thought it could be that didn't involve me, but I had an idea of something that had happened in the studio, and my.

Spill of the tea, I think it is a little bit juicier and I had more.

I have more guys.

I just sometimes see a lot of tea happening and I just kind of keep it close to the vest because not everybody needs to have tea spell on them all the time, but these two things.

They might number two.

Hey, this is your bit. You've built it up for three days, lunchbox. You just said you're going to put someone on blast if they didn't confess. And the deal you made was if they confessed any email, you would not say who it was, you would just say what the crime was. Correct, did anyone confess?

I'd like to congratulate on the person. They have not come, so they will get blasted on air. They will get blasted right now in front of all of America. Mm hmmm, going on blast.

So I don't even know what to ask because I don't know who it is. You just want to do it. How do you want to set it up? What do you want to do ahead of time?

Everybody that is listening, everybody in this room that is not it is not you, That is not it's not you. If you're in the room, all right, you will be disgusted, disturbed and dumbfounded.

I don't know what you're saying.

I'm saying it's not you.

I'm not me.

I said, if it's not you, you will be triple.

Why do we give them all you?

You will be disgusted, disturbing nobody in the room. I said, if it's not you, you will agree with me. You will be disgusted, dumbfounded, and.

Disturbed and confused.

Okay, it's the triple I'm confused. It's the Triple D.

Okay, So okay, eliminate. Can it be anybody?

It can be anyone from that glassroom or in this room?

Can I ask questions and you answer them?

Go ahead?

Is it amy? Okay? Hold? Why don't you eliminate somebody? Eliminate one person?

Bobby's been eliminated. We know what Bobby.

Guys.

Come on, mister clean over there. He ain't gonna do anything wrong. Okay, Bobby is safe.

Eliminate somebody else.

Mike d has ever has he ever done anything wrong in his life? He's mister quiet, He's not doing anything wrong.

Okay. Is it somebody?

Like?

Do you want to eliminate like a glassroom or main room? Or do you want to keep going like you are?

Hey, whatever you want to do, man, or I just go right to it. Abby. Oh, let's just go right to it. Abby. You're safe.

Oh that's not going right to it.

I checked this. He gave us the rope of dope.

Okay, Yeah, So who's out?

Who's out?

Mike, are not getting blasted? Okay? Go ahead? Who else is not getting blasted?

The man with the buttons Ray, that dude, squeaky clean, a little strange, but clean, little go ahead, Scoopa keeps us out of trouble. He doesn't get in trouble.

Scoopa.

Your free? You're free?

Is either going to be? Amy Morgan?

Okay? And with the group, when we learned this about ourselves, are we are? We're not going to be disgusted to serve, unfounded that it.

Might be that's glass you might be or you just be like it's normal.

And then they had another one lunchbox.

But.

You feel you feel awful guilty over there.

I don't know what's happening, so.

I'll tell you. Amy say, okay, I don't like this.

That's are more again.

What he's dumbfounded, dead or disgusted and disturb in days disappointed lunchbox?

Go ahead, and we have to figure out who it is so you can do whatever however you want to claim it.

Yeah, I just want to ask Eddie. You want me to just go for it?

Morgan, you do what you want.

Eddie Morgan, Yeah, what's up? I just want you to know Eddie's on blast.

That seems on blast all these days.

I got a question for you, Eddie. Does your mom work here?

No?

Does your wife work here?

I don't think so.

Then what is your problem? Why do you think you are better than everyone else that works in this building?

Okay?

I don't know why, because this dude right here has no respect for this building or the people in this building. Okay, this dude who brings because I don't know if that happen, who brings hard boiled and Eddie Eddie? So what's he doing? He says? Oh, man, I'm above everybody else. He's walking to his car the other day. He has his heart boiled eggs in his right hand. He goes crack crack crack on the wall and just starts throwing the shelves in the parking garage, like, hey, no, I don't throw

I feel like those are no, no, the biodible.

No, they're in a parking garage. I mean there's yoke and stuff all over.

No yoke. They were boiled eggs. I am sorry, but no, no, no, Oh my gosh, this is what we wasted all these days.

So I just throw my banana peel in the parking garage. It's okay because it bioed great.

I don't know that it'll biolog No, it doesn't.

And he doesn't blow away because it's in a parking garage.

Element here.

I know your boyfriend saying something here, but.

No, no, disgusted and disappointing. I mean, just go throw an apple in the parking garage. It's no big deal. Hey, one of the three d's. One of the three d's disgust, disgusted, disappointed, and dumb boundary. There's four d's.

Now you added disappointed. I'm disappointed.

A big shells are biodegradable in.

A parking garage, so I can just throw it. From now on, I can just start throwing anything this biodegradable. I can just throw in the parking garage.

I guess it's an egg shells.

Crack the wall.

Who cares? I don't work here, I don't have to clean it up.

I got a twist of this.

Okay, this is very interesting because because he doesn't park upstairs, he parks downstairs, So that means somebody must have tipped them off to this, and I'm thinking his girlfriend did this.

Amy tipped lunchbox off on this. Look you're looking away from away from me.

I'm looking right at you.

Did you tip out it?

I didn't.

I don't know. This is ridiculous.

Anywhere we're at. iHeart when we were in the elevator and he had ridiculous No, no, he had his trashy just threw it on the elevators. I'm not picking that up.

So why would the copp arrest him?

Literally, that's not.

It doesn't matter. That's what he said.

Oh my guys, if.

They were more than egg shells, I guess even a banana would be more than little crimson of it.

It was no, no, it was the whole egg shell. It ain't like it's a little small thing.

And where are the eggshells now?

I don't know.

Probably they're gone already.

Birds.

Hey, so if I go to Eddie's house, I can just throw eggs shells in the front yard, no big deal.

In the front yard, yeah, they'.

Or they'll blow away. But in a part of your eye it's pretty disgusting. I bet the custodial staff had to clean that out because Eddie's too good at throwing the track.

I can ask you a question, yo, how do you feel about this bit clickbait?

Or was it?

No?

No, I think Eddie needs to do an adopt the highway, go ahead the cop.

When he ended up interviewing the cop and the cops say that he could go to jail for this. That was the twist that really built this bit up and it just didn't live up to that.

It is gross to that he did this, but we did tease it for four days. I can agree that Edie, don't tow stuff in the garage a shell eggsll like. I agree, it's it's like minor, minor, just don't just don't stuff in the garage. It's not your house.

I mean, but Bobby, you wouldn't do that, would you.

No?

No, exactly because that respect, thank you. You worry about others that he's like, I'm better than you.

But it's an I don't want to dedicate any more time to this bit.

Oh my goodness.

Well so wait now is he going to be lunch.

From a scale on a scale from one through ten? How much trust do you have him now to carry a.

Bit like well, he did a good job building it up.

No, no, no, he said.

If it's not, I need to think it. I need to think about this.

I mean I if Eddie doesn't think it's a big deal, have him go stay on the side of highway and pick up trust See how much you know the that's not track it is.

It's an egg which is natural.

If we all don't do it. Though, hold on, if we all walked in the parking garage today and through eggshells out there as we're walking to our car, guess what's pretty disgusting.

But we all wouldn't discuss.

So who's the only one that we do?

How was that discussed?

Steve? Is he busy as he wrapped up in something as he moved on, because he also feels like this is waste time.

I moved on ten minutes ago. I think I moved on Monday, Scooba.

How does the.

Dumbest thing ever?

Do?

I get it?

It is kind of stupid and discussing trash the round, But to spend it like three or four days talking about this, like what else we got going on?

A lot? Actually exactly, I'll think about this. I'll take this to the court of my brain blast off, Morgan.

I would like to say that the thing that I thought it was is kind.

Of a bigger deal.

Can you text it? What or said to me?

Yeah?

Oh wait, wait we'll see. Hey, should we wait five days for this?

May put it out and put everybody on blast.

Get a countdown.

Wow, I mean it's pretty gross. Is a human being like human to human? And we get what it's pretty bad?

And the cops said the world will be off better without me.

I guess you don't like litters.

I feel like lunchbox may be told the police officer you were doing something.

I murdered someone.

Morgan's has to do with theft?

Oh what here?

Yeah?

Hey, that's like the real one that.

I thought it was, like the actual legit cops situation, Morgan's legit theft.

No, but mine was legit too.

Guys, you're a lotty dumpty on the most minor scale ever.

No, really is an egg.

I'm sorry.

Ours start throwing in the garage and see how we feel.

Can can Morgan just say what it is?

No, we got to wait five days for this.

Now, I'm not even sure that it's going to be on the I need I need to handle some business.

Oh it could be legal, real legal.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotta get a call interview on.

It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan Number two.

Sam Hunt's not by our studio this week, so you're about to hear the interview. But the reason I'm putting it here is because Raymundo totally geeked out.

I mean, Sam Hunt is his guy.

He's been his guy for several years. Like in Raymundo's eyes, Sam Hunt can do no wrong. His music is amazing, he loves the trends that Sam Hunt specifically sets in outfits.

There's just a lot of things here.

So Raymundo got to interview Sam a little bit during it and talk about the reasons why he loves Sam Hunt so much. And that's why this is coming in at the number one spot. Now, after you hear this, you may want to hear a little bit more about Raymundo's take outside of the whole Sam Hunt situation, and if so, I encourage you to go listen to part one and part three because we do talk a little bit about Sam Hunt in those and just his his love for life, and you'll get a crack up at

Out number one on the Bobby Bone Show.

Sam Hunt, Hey Sam, good to hear it.

Good to see you, Boddy.

The microphone is on your in your chair over there, and you should be able to hear Ray mess up a few times. You got Ray you Yeah, I've got to see you, Maneah, were real good. I was pumped because I saw your tour and we were talking with your old football coach and this this is a whole situation where we're talking to ty Hilton. Yeah, yeah, so why we're told we were up a westerkon Tucky working out with the team. So he's the head coach there now.

Yeah, he was, he was the quarterbacks coach and then also helped out with the offense. So his his dad, it's a long time legendary coach coach there at UiB when I was there, and then Tyson, his son was it was the quarterback coach. Yeah, so he was, and he was not that much older. He was, he was older than us, but he was fairly younger.

Yeah, no, yeah, I mean so we're hanging out and he said, he said, hey, you ever talked to Sam? I said, yeah, sometime. So Tyson's the Hilltoppers head coach now and is he the head coach? Yeah? Oh wow, yeah he's crushing And he said, uh, tell him I sew what up? And give him my number? And I was like, I don't I don't really know how to handle this right now, but he sent along his regards.

Would you still I'd like to I'd like to get you get his numbers?

Oh, we got it in the good We can give you a number that because I was like, I don't know, I'm don't Sam, you want to know it's You're good? Yeah, absolutely cool, good night. Yeah.

We stayed in touch for a long time and then after life got crazy, went you know, several year actually moving to Nashville. I just I've not talked to a lot of folks that from.

My past life.

You have to change your number.

I have a couple of times.

Because people like I don't know Stalker's Ray, I mean any like people like that. No, No, I don't remember.

I changed Actually I had the same number until about five years ago, and I've changed it twice since then. And and let's get it. I get overwhelmed a little bit with times. Would you regular one number to everybody?

Just give you his number or give him your number.

Either one. I'll take it. I'll take his number from me.

He's talking about how he's like, I just tend to give my number out to anybody, and then.

I can fround.

So I have a little guilt for unanswered text messages. And I am bad with text messages, and then so that guilt sort of weighs on me.

And anyway, you give the red dots like lots of red dots, are you that guy? Or do you clear them all off?

No, they're They're in there.

So you don't even open them. So your guilt is not that you open them and then don't respond or forget to respond. It is that you just never opened them. No, I open a lot of times.

It'll be I'll see them while I'm driving, or I'll be in the middle of a writing session, or I'll be in the studio and I'll see the text come in and I look at it and I'm like, Okay, I think to myself, you know, I'll get back back to yeah, and then it just adds.

Up my problem is if people text me at like ten thirty PM, even nine thirty if I'm asleep, because if a wake up early on the weekdays, I'll see it at three thirty and I'm like, I can't reply now because I'll wake them up. And then I don't even think back about it at eleven because I've already moved past it.

I know, and I'm sort of add So if I'm in a frame of mind or in a state of mind, I've got some focus going. If I entertain a conversation that is about something completely different than whatever I was thinking about, is gone and now I'm in the world of this text message conversation.

So do you think you can write a song about anything and it'd be good?

No?

No, definitely not. I have.

That's why it's so hard for me to put out music, because there's only I feel like, my uh, the sweet spot for what I can write about or what would work for me is so small that a lot of ideas come along that I'll just I'll pass on them or think, you know, that's just not a good idea for me. But oh, there's probably plenty of guys in Nashville who could write those ideas and they end up great songs.

The legacy of Sam Hunt the writer is that you are much more of a perfectionist or someone who needs to sit with it a lot longer than the average songwriter would. You said, there's truth to that.

Yeah, I think I got that reputation during about a three year period where I was probably overthinking. And you know, I wrote my first album and had some success with it, and then I should have been writing while I was on the road, but I was touring for two years

A little bit, Yeah, I think.

So are you still in that spot where you need to live with it for days and days and days.

No, I've stepped back away from that.

I've I tend to just move forward now, which is the approach of most songwriters who I write with. It's just just keep going and get the song written, and that tends to be more productive if you zoom out and look at it long term.

Body like a back road one of those you took a long time and kept rewriting.

Yeah, yeah, it's funny to like the silliest song I have.

But sure it's silly and that, but still you had to find the exactly that song's got to make you feel are envisioned certain things.

That was the problem was there was so many ways to miss and then that was one where if if I missed by an inch, I'd missed by a mile. And so it was a delicate tightrope walk and so I had to get it just right.

So did you feel like it was just writer? Did you go I can't hold onto this any longer? A little bit of both.

Yeah, I finally got I just I didn't want to have any lines or sections that were that didn't match the rest of the song and feel like the same character. But I also feel like it just came out because if I wanted to feel like it just came off the top of the head, top of my head. But it took more thought and effort to get it to make it feel like that.

It kept feeling overwritten.

Every every line early on was like a reference to the back road and it was like just felt overwritten and too cute.

So I had to find that sweet spot. It took a little while.

If I especially when I've written books, but or even a joke, if I live in it so long, I lose whatever I thought was good about it, Like I can't identify it anymore. Like if I'm writting a joke and I'm like, man, don't even know if this is funny, and because I've just been inside of it so long, or the book too, I'm like, I hate it because I don't do you do that with songs where you're in it so much you can't even identify what was good to you at first.

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

Later locked up tour, You guys get tickets at Sam Hunt dot Com, Russell Dickerson, George Burgh on the Canadian Run, which we're in a bunch of Canadian places too, shout out Dalton Dover kicks off June twenty eighth, and it's in you know, a lot of cities. The shows in June twenty eighth and bend ore Agan you're up doing

His lyrics are really thoughtful and guys like that or who those are the guys that make.

Me overthink lyrics?

Is there's a bar there that those some of the guys like that set and you always feel like you're not.

You're not People do that to you too in the same way, right, they're like, well, Sam's the bar because he will spend all this time getting it perfect. We all have a bar, and we're all somebody else's bar too, and it's just not to be driven crazy by the freaking bar.

Yeah right, and we all value it subjected when we value different things. Some people some songwriters value they wanted from the melody to be fantastic and wanted to feel and flow. I've already always been attracted lyrics, and John Mayer has some great lyrics.

He did the Acoustic Torn it was super cool, and I wondered, but I'm a massive fan, like what it was going to be like with him just up there with a guitar and really nothing else. I feel like that kind of show that would be awesome for you to do. Would you ever do that? Just go out and go to me and a guitar, let's go.

Yeah, I've thought about that. He's a fantastic guitar player. I don't know if I could carry a show with just me, but if I had a couple partners with me to play, maybe a trio or something that could work potentially.

I thought about that.

Yeah, like doing theaters, maybe throwing some old covers.

Are people surprised because if they just have heard a few songs on the radio. Let's say they're not a massive sand Hunt fan or even a massive country music fan, but they're just a casual of both or either. Are they sometimes surprised at like how country you actually are? Because you are? I mean you're literally like you grew up in it. Give you a guitar, you can play it all. Do you find people like, oh, you actually are that dude?

Yeah? I think.

It comes out, I guess, And if people are surprised, I think people have preconceived notions.

I think about it sometimes.

I guess I grew up country, but I grew up Southern country, and there's so many shades of country.

In the South. It's classic rock, which is a big part of country. Yeah, and in the South to hip hop's a massive I mean even for me in Arkansas, well hit streaming music though right like the generation above us, they only could get it at stores and so regionally there would only be a dominant amount of whatever was big. But like you're seeing folks now that are in their mid thirties, late thirties, early forties who had the opportunity

I told you, Yeah, I just I never there's so many themes that in country that we push really really hard, and the country boy lifestyle like that gets pushed really hard, and it's it's almost sometimes feels like it's a signal to that group to say, hey, I am one of you.

I am one of you, and it feels pandery and.

Like like they check certain artists. It's very pandury. Yeah, there's an element of that.

So I've always been I guess tried to avoid that and probably going a little too far out of my way to avoid it.

The new EP that just came out, so four songs. Alt Skirts is on it, which we're gonna play coming up in just a second, but the other three songs locked up. Yeah, like a really personal song. It's gonna be the people you really trust. We set that aside for when you're gonna be with people like Shane mcinally. Yeah.

Look, essentially I love branching out and right when you folks. But for the most part, because of that relationships. You just can't replace a ten year relationship overnight. So for the most part, I still just write with the two or two or three folks, and luckily we have that long term relationship and we've talked about everything under the sun.

Yeah, I'd be worried, like to get too personal with somebody I don't really know, because like, what are they going to take out and tell their buddies? Yeah right, Like that's what right? And it just not like hippa, No, there's not, So there should be, absolutely should be. We talked about a body like a Backer.

One of the things I learned from that song is that there are people out there that just want to hear a lighthearted, easy going song. It's easy to sing too, and that puts a smile on their face. So I've leaned into that since then, and this is one of those songs that that I don't know that fits that Bill.

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

Yeah.

Yeah, that that desire to validate yourself as an artist is, I think is in anybody who does anything creative, and.

But that's just that's ego.

And once you feel that in a song and it feels trying, it can be you know, it's not lost on the listeners. So hopefully, you know, I'm capable of writing some of the songs at times when they come out and naturally that they can be what they're supposed to be. But I think I took for granted songs like lighthearted songs that are just that are families and you know, I see we have a lot of kids at our shows now, which is interesting, and they're songs

I got a song I'm just looking for the right person to write it with. It's called rural plural murals. It's the hardest thing along ever and uh, nobody really has the ability or the They really don't have the guts to write it with me, have they yet, Eddie?

That's it the guts.

So what I wanted to write was the hardest ever. It's about driving in the country, real plural murals, murals, ploral rural murals, whichever won. But it's like multiple murals in a rural city and all of a sudden you're just affected. You're like, all right, you singing rural plural you know anybody gets so, you know, I don't know if that's just think about it, just to keep that on the back song for you. Yeah, but I mean, but you're you know, you're a great song Alight've written

It's on my mind.

You announce a tour now, Skirts are doing really well. But did you put out the music to go, Hey, here's some new stuff you can see if you come out and you've seen me one hundred times before. Sorry, so you played those live? Or do you put out the new music so people can go, oh coo, it's put out some new stuff. We'll also get to sim do a few new songs.

Yeah, I mean putting out new music. I try to put out as much as I can.

But you thinking about floral and your roles. When I asked you that question, he was already in it. I could see he was trying to write a song there on his head. Yeah, yeah, go ahead.

Uh, Well, the biggest thing was putting out I wanted to put out a new album, but it probably would if I had put out all the songs at once, it would be about right now before I had gotten them all done and out. So I've been putting this album out a little bit at a time, and I have the last three songs ready now, so this is really me putting out the last bit of what has

What do you think you can max out bench press? Because I know what I can. Oh man, we don't do that anymore.

But probably if I tried it, i'd my shoulders would probably both blow out.

But I don't know.

So we Sam and I have the same trainer. We trained a time right by each other. I mean we're the same size on't oginal train together because we probably lift the same weights. You know that's true. We should yeah by you know what I thought at it? Like two sixty yeah about wow, don't worry about me though it's only on Instagram. Don't worry about me though.

Is that like one press?

Yeah?

One?

Like a lot of plates bar has been basically.

Wow, that's like that's two big plates and what like.

So many you can't even count it. Yeah, I was counting the murals the plural.

Well, at least Kluge is doing his job. He's got you up to six.

Were you at, Sam?

Yeah? Were you don't know? That's how you know someone's really strong or really good at what they do. They don't even need to say. They just like to feel bad.

I'm afraid to guess, and then I get in there. Always overestimate my strength. I don't know where I would be.

You have any injuries from playing ball that still hurt, like when it rains?

Yeah, I have had two back surgeries in college.

Still bother you when it gets the weather gets a little little funky.

I mean they kind of bothered me all the time.

But yeah, certain times, I don't know if it's the weather or my you know, trying to do too much in the gym. But yeah, I've got to sort that out at some point.

Sam a big fan obviously, Thanks for playing our our show for Saint Jude, which I was listening. Super cool. Thank you, said, y'all having me again? Yeah, and then the tour Sam hunt dot com. All the tickets are up there and there are a million places that we're on that you can hear us, and I would get tickets as fast as you can because I just heard there. What's that? Oh, they're almost sold out. They got in my ear right now, they're almost what what's that? Some

Yeah?

My brother's coming.

In reality, it's actually we're recording this the day before the show, but we're acting like it already. Yeah, which, by the way, you crushed him in you crushed it did great. But I don't know why I started flashing that it was weird if you did. Like, so she got up at the show Wednesday night, all the dudes started flashing us and I.

Was like, I've never seen that before.

No, it's weird, saying it's crazy.

Man if we sum up, but oh boy, Sam show in one word for people, like if they're going to go see his show, like, what's to raise? One word?

What's it about? Ray? Uh? Old school meets new? What about Sam is awesome?

To you?

Did you bring him up a lot?

Well?

I told you guys back in the day he started the baggy shirt movement. He was one of the first people to ever do it where he wore the shirt down to his knees, and so I didn't have any of those shirts. So I would wear like cut off shirts underneath my actual hang shirt so it'd be even longer. And my wife, eventually, the girlfriend back then, just said stop wearing your shirts. Like Sam Hunt, all that was because of a long shirt.

All this. I mean, he's the one that started it across America.

It was the sham Hunt and then I saw him do it, so I started doing it, and then T Babe started doing it upstairs, and then it.

Spread across the country. But I'm saying it's just a shirt.

It was the shirt. I mean, that was his swag.

So his clothing and then his music was good as well, but he had an aura, Yeah, and you could just feel in his shows.

And like, I wanted to ask you this one quick thing.

So do you remember the Dave and Busters show, like back in twenty fourteen in Nashville. I mean it was a venue way too small for you, and dude, there were cop cars, there was a security called in.

Dudes were flipping tables.

I think that's really where you started to feel how big you were, that you were bigger than the venues you were playing in.

Right, Yeah, that's the first time I'd seen any like excitement from people about the music. And it was Yeah, it was outside the the Dave and Busters and and uh that yeah, I think you're right.

That was because I mean, I hang out at that mall.

I go to that ma all the time, and so I'm standing there all the time, and I'm in that same environment and then there are barriers and you know, lots of people in the parking lot, and everybody's singing along to the song.

So it was a wild That was a wild moment, dude.

That's where I got the first taste. And I was like, oh my god, don't say you got the first taste here. See it was all good, like we felt it. It was pretty good, mature. The first taste feels weird.

First, the best part about that.

But he's right here, does say first taste?

Yeah, that time in Ray's life is on Instagram. He posts this photo of David Busters, who I was fourteen. He's like me and Sam, but it's like Ray in the front of the picture and then all these people and then Sam is in the very back and he's like circling Sam's head and he's like my first photo with Sam.

Yeah, yeah, that's.

Where it started.

Yeah, I never met him.

And then I went to your show in twenty seventeen and Nashal at ascend and that's when you would run through the audience you still do at your show's and it was insane. I went reached my handout, got a high five.

And I mean girls touched him and during the show.

Yeah, and because he came right by my roa and I was with my friends and they're all like, oh my gosh, you touched him on and girls were ripping his shirt and stuff. And you still do that to this day. You run in the crowd at your wife show a bridgetone. Yeah, I mean that's a security thing, yet a lot bigger than most of them, most of the.

So twenty seventeen, that was the second taste. I don't know, I don't know how.

Many tastes has had to be honest. And then you went away a little bit. You had a little Dave Chappelle moment where you weren't touring.

What's your favorite song of all time in your life? Song not just period, all music that's ever been invented for I mean it's it's definitely Sam. Yeah, which one, Okay, so it is the same, I mean the one that made me leave downtown. I lived on First Avenue in to Mumbrie and Broadway. I moved from Downtown to West because of your song Downtown instead, because I was like, I got to get out of the city. The tour, the Lockedout Tour, starts in June. Tickets to Sam hunt

Oh I got a question. I got a question.

Go ahead.

Ray, I guess messaged Sam on Instagram with like on a snow day or something.

Did you you remember seeing that, Sam?

I did see that.

Yeah, did you really want him to come over because he said he was gonna bring some A six or what was it?

Yeah?

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

Oh my god, he will. He'll talk about this for six months now. Okay, New MEP's locked up, obviously, the tours locked up. Tour uh, Sam Hunt and go to Sam hunt dot com to get tickets to the show. Sam. Appreciate you, buddy, Thank.
