A listener sent in a BBS jingle, So we have these jingles that play every morning on the show. You've probably heard them before, and oftentimes you're always like, who are singing those? Well, a listener sent one in that's so good, like so good and so calling. I was trying to say good and call me at the same time because it was just that good. But not only that, it prompted us to have a jingle game.

And you guys.

Already asked like, who's singing that? Who's this artist that's singing this one? And so maybe if you have that question, you can listen to this game, and now you'll know who all the jingles are on our show when you're listening. That's like a little peek behind the scenes.

It's the Best Bits of the Week Show with Morgan.

Number two, Lunchbox has officially reached one week of being nice, and in honor of that, I'm gonna just leave this right here, because I don't know if I can say anything nice about him right now after the week I had with him.

So Lunchbugs did reach one week. Uh yeah, that that's all I got.

All right, Here we go. Number six. As of yesterday, Lunchbox had been kind for one week. According to him, we said, if you go two weeks of being kind, we're going to send you driving a Lamborghini around the racetrack.

Yeah.

His like goal in life is to drive a Lamborghini. M We do have to investigate a couple of things. First of all, Amy brought up on the air that while she was sick, Lunchbox was texting her saying, oh, hope you feel good. Whatever it was now, there is in no way this was mean. But it just hit Amy like a ton of breaks that Oh, he wasn't doing it because he cared. He was doing it because he wanted to keep his kindness streak going. Ah yeah, so read the text me.

I hope that he cared.

But has he ever texted you before when you were sick?

Let me see no?

Okay, so go ahead read the text he sent you.

He said, you just sick?

Question mark?

You okay?

Question Mark?

Which is him in my mind he's saying, like, chuck it up, yeah, because like if I'm just sick, then he's like, Okay, that happens to people. But you wanted to make sure it wasn't something one.

If it's a family emergency, right, and then you were gonna do what just saying oh, I hope it gets worked out.

But whatever she has, whatever she needed.

Yeah, well I don't know everything, but I mean I thought I was being nice, checking up on a coworker and a friend, you know, like it was outside of work. It wasn't just to work. I was like, hey, I'm on my own time. Sounds kind of me, sounds pretty kind. So I just put that in the kind column.

But in the kind column, guys, even if it's fake, it's still kind.

Yep, that's right.

Okay, Next up, I have clips and listeners on of this of Lunchbox being rude to Eddie during the game. Now what I want to play is his voicemail from Andy and Tennessee. Here you go.

Lunchbox has already been rude to Edie twice the deal he had with the lottery gods quote unquote, he's already boid and needs to start his time over. He called him an idiot bearing the editor's versus Millennius segment, and then called him a bad boon and another one later the same day. So we started time.

Okay, call him. Remember he said it turned out his buffoon, Uchbox said, because.

We were making a joke and we were doing something something and I said, you mean more like a buffoons.

So let's listen if it's joke or if it's not. Kindness, because if it's not kindness, the timer starts over Here we go. This is Elder and Millennial. This is the audio evidence clip one. Yeah, scared wants to kiss the sister. That's okay.

You know why I wanted to season the longer, so this idiot has to sit over here.

Congratulations, well Greg, Greg game, great game. Middlelations for both of you. Okay, you know what he said, idio. I felt like he was kind of kidding with that idiot. Yeah, he laughed afterwards. I don't feel like that was mean or rude. It wasn't kind, but he I don't think he resets his time.

With that one.

Yeah, you can be playful.

Yeah. I was the recipient of that, and I didn't feel like he was being unkind.

If you can't joke, then I mean, we really can't do anything.

And then we were playing name that instrumental game and he called Eddie a buffoon.

Here you go.

You can still get the next one, but soon's the long one you get. I don't even know. I never even played, but soon he is my box enter had to learn how to play for this video.

I just know you look like a buffoon.

Oh when you bet and you lose on an instrum. You can't get a boy soon? All right? Go ahead? No one's borderline?

No, I said, I made you look like a buffoon because you bet against me.

It's fine.

Everyone was all in so Eda, you go rude. I got a little rude. That kind of hurt me a little bit. I say, kind call, But you don't get to be the judge the panel.

Yeah, sure he is. He's part of the judge panel.

I say playful.

I say playful too, borderline, but I'm not going to put that into the let's start a timer over category. Does he just need like a mad kind of effect on his voice? Like what is it like? Because well, I don't know, but we'll know when we see it, because I feel like he's masking it with a little laugh afterwards, like you're an idiot, you.

Know what I mean?

Maybe okay, but I can't reset his timer. I still think he's been kind for one week and one day. Now are you clapping for yourself?

Yeah? No one else is he? If you're not going to clap for yourself, who will?

Wow?

That's right? See Amy, I looked after you should look after me.

Just clubbed So Lunchbox one week and one day in he's been less spiteful, less hating, a bit calmer, But has he really been kind? That's the question.

What do you mean?

Well, because you're not being as much of a jerk, but have you been kind? Yeah? So we have some I have some challenges here that maybe you could pick one of the three and it would be kindness, like purposeful kindness instead of just keeping from being a jerk. It's a good idea. Number One, record hit an audio of you given compliments to people in the office that don't know about this, but be really sincere.

Oh man, I don't really Okay, Oh.

You don't have to do that one.

So he's going to record his own audio.

He doesn't have to.

Yeah, I mean I've been doing that.

How about right thank you notes to the members of the show and we read them on the air, But they have to be oh yeah, I like that one. That's a good one. They have to be Actually, you won't we'll.

Be able to read my writing anyone.

We'll try right to say thank you for thank you for coming to work, and.

No, like what what you're thankful for with us each individually. You don't have to do that one. I'll give you some more options.

Here.

Ride a gratitude list, or as I call it, a thanksgiving list, and read it on the air for all the things you are truly, seriously thankful for and not joking about. That's impossible.

I can knew that.

No, you gotta be serious. That's impossible.

Yeah.

You could surprise your neighbor with freshly bake cookies or treats and then record the interaction bonus points. If it's a neighbor that had their car parked front of your house forever.

Oh no, I ain't going to their house. They're the ones that do though dealing.

Or finally, when you're pumping gas, stop someone and be like, hey, do you care if I pay for all your gas? Is not doing that?

That's expensive.

Yeah, So any of those kind of tickle your fancy.

I don't know, We'll think.

You think about it.

What come back, lady, Yeah, let me think about it.

I'man to circle back. Oh yeah, circle back. I'm out to see that list, Mike, if you could pass.

It over, only six more days to go.

Bam, and then I'm in a lambo. Here we go in a lambo.

I think like an example lunchbox of like, you know, for people we work with. For you, I would say something like, you know, I appreciate your quick sense of humor and how you can always make us laugh, and like if you're put in a situation like even blind karaoke, you always come up with like the funniest things, like you're really quick on your toes and you come up with the most random things that are hilarious.

Like she's doing it to you.

Yeah, Like I'm giving you an example, Like that's what you would say instead of like thank you for.

Trying to work cards for all the members of the show.

Yeah, maybe i'll record you guys, thank you messages. You'll record them, Yeah, because you.

Won't be a write. Oh he can't.

I could type it, can he?

Not?

Right?

Usual Puckers, No, Eddie, I'm not you man, I'm I just like to read, all right.

That's not kind No.

Oh no oh no, that's not kind. I mean that's not kind. You just talked yourself out of kindness that you took a shot at his dyslexia for no reason.

He said, he said I can't write, and I said, no, I can't. I am not dyslexic like you. It's just saying fast to his voice. Now, is it a fact?

That was?

Is it a fact?

Am?

I just need to hear that clip back later because he might have just crushed it in this segment.

Am I not just stating a fact if it doesn't mean it.

Didn't feel Sometimes factually, kindness don't always have to walk out inside each other. I'm not you, Eddie. That's what you said.

I'm not And that's a factual statement. I wasn't saying anything. Here's what we're gonna do.

We gotta We're going to play a song playful. No, Well, let's just I need to hear that back in a little bit. You couldn't help me grab that. I think he might have just talked himself out of his kindness week and it may start over. Dude, you gotta be careful, but not yet.

Obviously, we don't want you to fail. We just gave you two passes.

You get poking me too.

Oh see, now you're blaming it.

I didn't blame.

I'm just saying he was taking shots and all I did was respond saying I'm not taking a shot back.

No, I responded with factual statements.

Okay, I'll need to hear that it's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

Number two.

This week was Amy's birthday, so Bobby shared his top five Amy moments over the past several years, and they'll make you laugh and make you smile all about Amy. I think we also did a segment before us Amy all the time, and that's kind of what the segment was. But because it was her birthday, it was like over the course of several years and when she's made a smile and just connect and relate to her. So this is a shining moment on the birthday girl Amy.

Number five.

Today's Amy's birthday.

We're very happy to have Amy on our show and in our life, and it's a big, big day for her. I have five moments that when I thought, how can I celebrate Amy on the air, and then I just started laughing about moments that maybe weren't a celebration or you and those are the ones I grabbed. Okay, of course that's what we would do here, right, it's all love. Yeah, yeah,

This was in my car. I always felt like it was coming.

Up just right.

You have a car. And so Ryan Hurd came up and they performed it together, and was it an Amy's wheelhouse. Here you go my number five moment. Go ahead, listen.

Wish I could quit you, but it feels too good.

If I could turn it.

Off, you know I would, but something about you.

Makes me think we could make it after all.

Yeah, I know it's a matter of time to you walk to you, walk.

Back out of my lively me standing her lone live, feeling like food.

Every time.

Every time you say you're done, you come back to you love.

You were on it from don't know why, I don't know why.

I'll let you, but a dude, I love chasing.

That's good.

Thanks guys, you all were really super supportive at the end, because that is really hard.

To hear back.

It wasn't terrible.

It was pretty terrible.

No, I would say it was pretty bad, but it wasn't terrible. And I think when he was singing you actually attached to him and saying you doubled it pretty much.

Obviously, the part in the car where I felt.

I know that part.

Yeah, oh I heard Ryan going down to her level because he didn't know what to do.

Is that's number five?

It's fun great. Number four the time that she called Rascal flats old like she was interviewing him with the CMA's the fiftieth CMAS and then she asked a certain question about how many times they had been to the CMA's here.

You go, so it's the fiftieth CMA works.

It's like you're forty ninth, not not. I'm not no, no, no, no, I want to tell you that no no, no, no no no.

It cuts like a knife, it really does.

I use the fiftieth.

It's just your forty kN A second first one after.

Listen we have a moment, because after that came out of my mouth, I realized how you were going to take it.

Forty nine is ill.

Yeah, that's pretty funny.

I don't know what I was thinking.

Actually.

One of the most famous clips the time that she glitched, which made me feel like I'm living in a simulation because she just broke in front of me. She was trying to say mcboat. It was a fun fact Friday, and she was trying to read this. There's a mcboat McDonald's location in Germany which has a float through instead of a drive through. You paddle up to the dock, place your order and it's brought to you by the staff.

So she was trying to say.

There's a mcboat McDonald's location in Germany.

Here you go, so you.

Can paddle up on a dog, place your order and then it's brought out to you by the staff.

And it's called nick note mcmont. I don't know.

I don't either. Again, just just a clip nick note mcmont.

Note mcmont's something broken her brain.

It sounds like we took the clip and like flipped it, like like put your thing down, flip it in reverse.

It dang DUNGI note mcmont.

That's my favorite. That's my favorite. A clip number two very recent, the time that Amy recorded a thirty minute podcast with the guest mic down. It's when she had a guest. It's very soon, I know, but I can't stop thinking about it. Where she had a guest and for thirty minutes she didn't have the guest mic on guest mike was basically just a paperweight, and you could only hear the guests through Amy's mike, which is all the way across.

And so.

Even on top of that, at the top of the podcast, she started it by saying, yeah, we're good with the levels.

Fun fact, she was not good with the levels.

Here you go, I don't I don't even use them.

We're good, We're good. It's all the levels are set. We use these all the time. And so this is one from the other day.

I don't even believe myself when I say I'll be ready in five minutes.

I'm way to everything unless audio, and then that's probably bad to admit.

But I do not want a time.

Were you ever sent home? I was never sent on, but I got to see it again.

We had to take that Internet max because there was no That's so funny. That was like two weeks ago, and it's Amy's birthday, so to celebrate.

We're playing Top five most Embarrassing times memorable.

The Ryan Hurt thing was so fun to hear back. It wasn't about it being embarrassing.

That is a fun memory, like that's a cool thing we get to do. It just is painful to hear right, mcmont.

Number one, any idea what I picked is the number one Amy moment. I have a guess you probably will get it, because as soon as I said, you'll get like, oh, yeah, of course, go ahead. I'm guessing it's when she almost died of thee So I'm not sure why you had to take the shot.

Oh, I think my name landed on the wheel. It was a spit, the wheel of death basically.

And Amy took the hottest shot, and she just like a champ like she does.

She just took it.

And then I thought for a second we were all losing our jobs. Yeah, because it looked like she was dying. She's like screaming at us.

First first she was there freaking out, and we all just looked at her, and Bobby goes, someone help her.

Yeah, would help her. She'll get her. Okay, here's let me play the clip and we'll address it afterard. Here's the time Amy took the world's hottest shot. She took the shot. She's gonna puke. Oh, oh, she's give her some water or something. Lunchbox helper, lunchbox helper, give her some water, Give her some water. To give her some water. We gotta have water ready for this water milk shaking. She was shaking, she was going through like convulsions. We

And not like Eddie says Lunchbox helper.

Like running cameras. Eddie was not letting go of this camera.

Eddie went in the news guy can't help the victim, gotta gotta film.

But but he did have something to do, and you weren't doing anything except standing staring at him.

I was watching her man.

But even Lunchbox's voices like I don't have anything, I don't know what to do.

I think what we learned from that is we need to anticipate. You know what happens when you eat the world's hottest one milk. We had nothing to soothe me at all whatsoever. And so then when I went and I was spitting up, the hotch was then on my face, burning and it felt like a chemical peel, like all around my mouth where.

You pay for those you don't want that for free, right and listen to the intensity of her screen.

Yeah, that's when it got real, Like I thought, I thought myself, like I I'm going to the hospital.

This is really bad.

We thought it was really bad too. She took the shot. Oh she's gonna puke. Oh, oh, she's puking. Give her some water or something. Lunchbox helper, lunchbox helper, Give her some water, Give her some water. To give her some water.

Come on, we gonna have water ready for this.

Here's my kN water milk shaking. She is shaking that where she goes. No, it's scary.

It was scary.

Birthday shots shot shot.

I mean you made it past that though. That's something to celebrate.

Ye ivived a lot over the years.

What are you doing for your birthday?

Well, my daughter has a softball game tonight.

So what are you doing for your birthday?

Well, I'm going to her softball game, which were fun, and then my son will be there, and then the kids will go to eat. And then I think, yeah, some friends that are coming to the game, may we just may all go eat. My best friend from high school is coming in town this weekend, Andrea, which is how Bobby and I met nineteen years ago, which is crazy. And uh, we'll probably just do a little something over the weekend.

I don't know.

She's been like, she hates I wanted to get a massage, and I remember she hates massages.

She doesn't like to get touched, but.

She oh your friends from you as a birthday, She's like, you know she hates massages. She's for a birthday.

Yeah no, but I kind of thought.

I thought that's we'd maybe have a spa day with some other girlfriends. And I was like, oh, shoot, you know, I'm hosting my best friend. And she literally could does not like to be touched in that.

It about you.

Yeah, she'll do of course she would do it.

But I want to be considered if someone's coming into town to hang out with me, so I don't. I don't.

We'll pivot.

Well, we do have you a gift. My wife's a part of it. So I'm not going to give it to you on the air because my wife's a part of it. And it's like a serious human gift as opposed to what Eddie's birthday is this later this.

Week, which is a it's a bit but you love to gamble. Amy wouldn't allow me to gamble her gift.

I would, though I would allow it.

I don't think Caitlin would.

You don't want to gamble.

Okay, you just don't want to gamble?

Is it that good?

No, I'm just saying you don't want to gamble it because my wife will kill me and then I won't be good mood when i'm here. Perfect. Yeah. Happy birthday, good times, Yeah, happy birthday. She's twenty nine, man, Wow, you look great.

Amy.

Hey, I'm forty three and that is okay.

And she's been to forty two cmas.

All right, it's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

We had Hardy on the show this week and he talked all about his new rock music and the new rock album he's putting out and what inspired the album cover, which is a really crazy story. Not only that, he gave us his review of Scuba Steve doing a scream oh version of his song truck Bed. So just a lot happened with Hardy and he's on all around just a really awesome guy. Plus he did talk about some hangtime he's had with Poets.

Malone number four on the Bobby Bones Show.

Now, Hardy, good to see a buddy, you too, how's life good? Do you just get random calls going, hey you know the song you just wrote? We just cut it and it's number one out of nowhere. That's what it feels like it's happening for you sometimes. Yeah, remember this song you wrote a year and a half ago, Well this person cut it, it's gonna be on the record.

Does that happen randomly?

Yeah?

Yesterday my Tanner, who's my content guy, uh shot a music video and he and I was like, how's it going?

And he sent me the a clip of like their.

Shooting music video and I was like, oh, I wrote I wrote that song and I didn't. I didn't even know like that they were shooting a video or that the guy's starting.

So, I mean, it feels like, you know, you moved to town and you're obviously an artist at the time.

That is so different.

But it's what's happened so many times, just in my version of now, is that the people that are so different end up making creating the path for everybody else later.

To come in and do what they're doing.

Meaning you have a style that isn't really one element and we all actually live those lives. But until there's a group of you guys that came that said, hey, we're actually a little multifaceted. Now, it's pretty common, but I would credit you do a lot of that when you write. Do you go down a certain road to go, we're gonna do rock, we're gonna do country, or do you just take whatever you write and then go this is that.

Now it's it's a little more thought out, I think in the writing room, especially like if it's for me, like if we're writing a song for me that day, like I'll I'll come in and be like and it's just different like the track guys and stuff these days, like some guys will have rock tracks like Pulled Up or whatever, but usually if it's a rock thing, it's like, Okay, we're writing a rock song today, and this is the idea.

Was it always like that though, when you have to say no.

No, definitely not. I mean, dude, no.

For eight years, eight or nine, ten years, I was just trying to just do something cool and like write literally whatever though no, I mean just whatever the coolest idea or vibe or whatever is in the room that day.

It's just what we wrote.

And I typically still do that unless I have like an adamant about an idea. And these days, if it's like for something that I would.

Cut, but what would in the first Let's say that you're three through six, when you're a songwriter and you're just kind of getting your feet under you. What kind of texture was assigned to you as a writer was like you could write with Hardy is before you had any like massive, massive success. But are they like Hardy kind of leans on the rock. If you want to write with Hardy, he kind of writes a certain way.

I don't know if that.

Came until until like my first record came out almost you.

Know, and they started to know who you were as you presented yourself.

When I started to kind of know who I was before that, I mean, I guess I'd have to go listen to like old demos and stuff. But me and a lot of my buddies that I like cut my teeth on like coming up and writing songs, we all loved rock and roll. So I'm sure a lot of that stuff had like a an edge to it. But I really don't think I leaned into it until like I put an EP out my first thing was in twenty eighteen, and that had that was like it's.

Like Rednecker was on that.

But there's a song called four by four which is like like a heavier song. And that's when I really like just started embracing that part of myself. I think was like when I signed a record deal and started putting it out on my own.

Based on where you come from, being from Mississippi and uper markets, all the classic rock was a massive part of my growing up totally. Like that also was a big part of that. Classic rock was country today even you know when you look at like the Eagles and they kind.

Of worked Steve Miller band, stuff like that, a.

Lot of that. Yeah, But how did that influence who you were musically Being from a place where I'm sure classic rock was massive.

Yeah, it was huge.

I mean one of six point seven it was in Jackson still is uh we that was the only classic rock station we could pick up. And my I mean my dad from the time I was like I don't even know three years old, was just like beating that into my brain.

Like skinners all that stuff.

Yeah. I remember my like, I mean it was like out of a movie.

He had a cassette and I was I don't I had I was so young, but I remember this and he was like, check this out.

This is a band called Pearl Jam.

You put the cassette in the in the Thing in the truck and Alive was like the first song. And back then that wasn't a classic rock song, but just rock and roll in general. I mean, I had no choice but to love rock and roll because my dad instilled it in me when I was really young.

The generation that had country music but also had digital media, which is you know, I was in the napster world. Yeah, and so you would see everybody be influenced by things that really that area of the country maybe weren't influenced by prior. So a lot of the older school country folks like that's not country. It's because really what they were offered geographically, yeah, by radio, by what they were selling. But it all changed once digital media was allowed to

That's wild.

I mean, I remember I've told people this, but like I was born in nineteen ninety, but I feel like right around like people born around them were the last generation to know what it felt like to not have access to a song until the next time they heard it on the radio, which was like the coolest feeling

And I think, you know, whatever the divide is of and God, I hate it because it's just been proven wrong. Every generation, every cycle of what's country and what isn't, there's always been some sort of medium that has allowed that to change. If it's vinyl or CDs, we get more songs on it now or but digital media was when people started to have influences, and if people in the forties had digital media, they'd be influenced as well.

No, du well, so do I. I mean I always thought like, who who made the rule?

Like where where's the rule book on what is anything when it comes to like a genre, and of course there are certain things, but country it's like.

It's country like it's just there's no like true definition of country music. To me, I don't know. And I used to be I used to be the opposite of that.

I used to be like a the guy that was like it has to be like this, or it has to sound like this, or it's not country.

But I don't know.

I just the older I get and the more I write music, I I'm very adamant that music just doesn't have rules, and there's they shouldn't be enforced or even talk. I mean, you can talk about it, I guess, but just I don't know. Do what you do and you don't have to call it anything if you don't want to. It's art, right, Yeah, in the end, that's all it is. If country music and you could put any you can put any kind of music on. But if country music stays stagnant, it would die.

Yeah, with any.

Style of art.

If it just stays exactly the same, Yeah, nobody's going to want to consume it unless it's in a novelty way of like we're going to listen to the old school. Yeah, so you almost you need people pushing, and you also need the people going with any country. You need that battle for it to grow. Yeah, that's true, because otherwise they would run so wild it wouldn't matter. But in the end, the person who is consuming the media and paying for the media and paying to go to shows, they get to decide.

Yeah that No, you're right.

The people buying the music are the only people that I feel like, get to decide.

Yeah, and everybody gets to have their own it's country, it's not country who cares. Yeah. So I got a couple questions that we've talked about on the show. Number one, you're what's up with your tour? Quit or quit? Like what is it? Quit?

Do you know that it's yeah with two exclamations.

Yeah.

That's why it's like QUI we have to call like when we talk about it.

Do you know that story?

Have you heard that from you?

For just I don't know. It kind of went viral on the internet.

I don't know what tell to me.

In twenty fifteen, I was playing in uh, like the songwriter room of the Florabama with like three of my buddies and none of us had any hits, but we were playing like original songs that we'd written, and we had a tip jar and somebody at the end of the night we emptied the tip jar and somebody on a bar napkin had written quit and like two exclamation points and yeah. And that was my reaction, Like I laughed, like you know, and uh, but I held onto it.

And it's literally a napkin, a cheap one at that like a you know what I mean.

And I had a map at back in the day and where I put like pushpins in every city and now like I was like I threw it away because once you've been you know how that is like, once you've been everywhere, there's no you know, there's no point in having one anymore.

But I and that napkin.

I just when I got back, I stuck it on there, and to this day, I I have it and now I just it sits on all of my awards that I've won. And so I put a song out called Quit that's kind of like spoken word rap ish type thing, and uh, it's gonna be the title track of my next record.

Can I say this?

I guess I can say this. The album is gonna be it's a square Napkins, So it's good. The album is just the napkin.

And what do you mean?

The album is just the napkins?

So that the square like if it were a vinyl. Yeah, it's just an exact like picture of the napkin.

So that's cool.

So we're just chasing that theme for the year of Quit. So so it's the actual So the way that they wrote it was U, I t it does the art is the song itself to exclamations. Okay, well i'm I.

My question was too.

We're talking about the tour and we're like, how do we say, hey, check them out on Quit? Or check them out on quit We didn't know how to you could.

Say, like the quit tourmations, Yeah, okay, just get Scuba Steve to scream it.

Dude.

Have you heard that?

Yeah? I thought it was great.

Aside from knowing he's here. If someone just sent you that you didn't know which you think that was, that was cool.

Absolutely. I love metal though, so, but.

Like if you ever screamed at your shows in any way, shape or.

Form, like yeah, like screamers, I should probably come to a show I've seen you.

Oh no, but I mean like that.

Yeah, we're doing it now. Man, we're doing the thing now.

You can't do the thing where it's like you should come do it. How many shows of mine you've been to? Yeah, I mean exactly. We're both working.

Man.

I've been in this room five times. You've been at five of my shows.

This room.

This is account you're getting promotion here too.

Well, this is about promotion, sure it is.

You know what you're in because you're promoting truck bed going number one.

That's what they told me. And the quit yeah, and the quit tour. That's very true. So this is like equal trade true. So I'm just saying, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, But I'm just saying like, yeah, I scream a lot.

Now, Like I have a rock single out called rock Star, and it's like pretty much a mettle.

It's pretty much what we just listened to.

Is that next you're doing a full rock record next. Yeah, that's cool.

That's the quick record is a rock record.

Nothing on it that he even could be considered Like if I was like, man, this song.

No, we won't work a song to country radio.

Now about working though? What if I was like, man, this one I could play and people would like it.

I'm sure because there's a lot of good songs on it.

But are they all?

Are they all hard?

Hard?

Yeah? Okay, that's all yeah, everything else?

Okay, Yeah, I'm good man.

I'll let you know what I'm playing on the show. You come up, you come up, I'll come to your show, all right.

Cool.

So so well, I've seen him play, but he's like, yea, I've been to a show. I'm like, call Tramlfair, you've been to my show.

But this year you play a lot more shows than you do. Come on, come may break.

I don't know how many shows you play a year.

I was around eighty a year. I just cut it back to thirty.

This year, I probably did fifty, but doing TV as well, probably pretty close. It's not a competition, guy, he made it a competition.

I mean I I have always been entertained by your performance, and now I'm even more intrigued screaming.

It's that's a huge concern of mine.

I did a bit trying to scream like that, just for just for a second, and it hurt. I was gone for like six hours.

There's a way to do it, like, and I've never gone to like the coach or whatever, but you it's you push from like really deep coaches.

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah.

There's one woman and I bet Steve that she lives in Florida. Do you know her name. She's like an older lady. She's been doing she's done like everybody.

I'm self caught. You get the ear.

She she teaches you not to blow out your voice, but I will say like.

It since I've started screaming and shows my voice like it's it scares me because like the next weekend it'll be weaker.

And it's like constantly weaker.

Are you having to go to do the physically responsible things more so now because you're asking more from your body or you still.

You mean like like yeah, more of that for sure.

Because you can do that, but only for a bit of time and then you blow it out and then you can't perform to the same level.

Yeah, that is usually like the Saturday Night Show, I'm like freaking out, even if I like have behaved all weekend and like going to bed and not like talked over a crowd and stuff like that.

After.

I mean, even like the lead singer syndrome in a band where everybody else gets to go party but the lead singer shouldn't as much because they have to. If they're down, the whole band can't work. Yeah, that's a real thing.

Yeah.

I just saw Disturbed. What's his name, Danny Draymond? Is that that's him?

Yeah, Yeah, And he talked about that. He's like he said that it was like the way he described it was like lonely. But he but he made that that point, he was like I have to go like protect myself and everybody else gets to go hang out because no, you know, you're right, like if it's if there's no singer, you're done. Like you could technically get away with like one less guitar player or something like that.

But yeah, it's different when you're the lead singer.

It's different because we go to Vegas. I'll go to bed early, but lunch Blocks will stay in party all night. They come to the show like, oh, you.

Couldn't even talkies allergy those Vegas allergies bad.

All right, So truck Bed hopefully going number one this week. The Quit Whole records coming out. Yeah, he's not here for promotion, man, you can skip that.

You know.

I demand he take it. I demand he take it. I mean the the the Dift tape. Yeah, I was gonna say that, the Hicks tape, but it's a diff tape.

Yeah, it's it's like, yeah, it's a spinoff r Yeah. So that comes out at the end of that comes out this month.

And it's all Joe Difms.

Obviously with Dift tape, it's the original recordings with Joe's voice on him and Joe's son Parker gave us his blessing, their family's blessing to to strip those down, take some of his vocals out, and have like you know, features come in, and it's it's gonna be the biggest Uh, It's like the biggest group of features that we've had so a lot of I mean, people really came together for that.

So it's really exciting.

What's plus Malone like to hang out with.

He's like the coolest dude. He's like totally normal.

Really, Yeah, he's just a dude.

It's almost hard to believe. It's because he's so famous.

And then two because the amount of tattoos on his face, like this different kind of person, the tattoos are faced that much.

Yeah, but I mean like Jelly Row has him and he's a good hang you know.

Jellyroll is a good hang now, but he didn't even tell you well like back in the day when he got when he was Yeah, yeah, it's true.

Man.

I I cannot say enough how respectful and kind, thoughtful post Alone is. It's it's mind blowing how just how he's held himself together with the level of fame that that he's had.

What about as an artist, because we watched him singing America the Beautiful for the Super Bowl, that was what he's saying on guitar, Like, I think people don't expect him to have the musical talent. During COVID, I watched him do a whole Navana record, right yeah, so.

He's he's he's a really good guitar player. Man, It's just there's something like when he gets in there and he does his vocal, like we've been writing these songs and like he'll hop in there and do it and you're I don't know, it's just like he has a thing. Man, he's got like a voice and not just like a singing voice, but he just even just in that in that regard, he's just an artist.

He could sing the phone book and it's just so different to me.

That it's just I don't know, it's just that's it's like art coming out of his mouth.

What's his name?

And your phone as post host deep Post just post.

Post when you meet him though, like obviously you're around a lot of really successful people, but someone like posts Malone, like because it around you right now, like within like meeting Post like do you kind of have to remind yourself like because you know, but it's I don't know, post alone. He seems like next level, Like do you kind of have to be like, okay, this could be

Everybody poops, you know what I mean.

My wife doesn't.

She doesn't at all.

Good for her ever once.

Wow, that's what I ever did.

Yeah, no, yeah, that's what I was gonna say. So your theory is wrong. All right, Look you guys at Hardy and and Diff tape.

It's gonna be awesome. He wrote Kenny's latest single too.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

It was on top of the freaking world right now.

Should go to a show. Maybe you should go to a show. That's what I'm taking from this. I need to go to a show. Congratulations man, I'm a big fan. And congratulations and we'll have a truck beg go number one and I don't know another trophy.

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

Number two, Abby got a message on Instagram which everybody thought was a scam. Like we were really questioning it because it has some big money attached to it. We're like, there's no way this is real. Well, we debated it like is it real?

Is it actually gonna happen?

Is Abby gonna.

Get to do this gig?

And then Lunchbox got jealous and it was a whole thing that transpired. So listen for yourself and let us know. Do you think it's real or is it a scam?

Number two said, this is a segment I've been waiting to do because this really happened to someone on the show. Ray, would you mind hitting me with a scam alert?

Scam alert.

Now, we play that when we think someone might be getting scammed. However, this isn't that they are getting scammed. This could possibly be. It's not a scam and it's the greatest thing to ever happen to this person. Okay, So Eddie is the one that told me about this. Eddie, I need you to tell everybody this is bizarre, dude. I need you to tell everybody what you know and we will kind of talk through it and see if

She's not gonna be able to take like Aldie.

It can be anybody, anyone, Abby, So do you feel like this was sent from a reputable source?

I really think it is, Like because sometimes their profiles look sketchy, they don't have a picture on there, but this is a legit, Lady.

It isn't that legit scans have legit photos a lot of times.

Yeah.

No, they want to come host and perform and just bring somebody with you as like an opening act. Yes, and you're you're the headliner.

Well, I don't think i'd be the headliner. I think they meant like a bigger artist. Then maybe I just do like a few songs or something like that. That's what I did.

She hosts.

Yeah, but you're but you have to pay out of that fifty for a big artist? Yes, okay, So how much is a medium artist? You tell me who and I'll give you a good guess, say like, uh, Travis Denning thirty grand. There we go. Wait a minute, so Abby keeps twenty, I get to keep twenty.

Let me call him?

Yeah.

I'cause again, if they're gonna pay Abby twenty thousand, if that's the case, they're gonna pay Abby twenty thousand dollars to come out and sing and host.

And this is the most insane thing ever.

I think.

Do we think it's real? Watchbox?

No chance?

Why they wouldn't go to Abbey, they'd go to Bobby. They would go to someone with actual poll. Abby has no poll. She's a phone screener. But I'm saying she doesn't have connections to artists. Bobby has relationships with the artists.

They wanted to perform as well.

You don't think she's good enough to.

Sing her suit?

Yeah, answer that, no comment.

That's right. He's in his kindness. He's gotta be kind for two weeks.

Like they would go to Scuba, they would go to Scooba. Who's connection to the artists.

They'd ask the raging idiots to play, and you bring someone for fifty thousand dollars. They're not going to Abby. They see someone vulnerable and like, oh this.

One, okay, what's the skill exactly?

So Abby's not paying fifty thousand dollars. Like called Travis, Hey, Abby, at what's the venue?

What's the venue?

It's a racetrack.

Well tell me the venue. I'm gonna look it up.

Should I say what it is?

I don't care the place. Give me it's do you think it's legitimate?

It's Laguna Seca Laguna and then s E c a it's a world renowned racetrack.

What have you googled that, Abby? I didn't even google that.

No, give me the person's name. Let me find out if they worked.

No, no, I'm not gonna look.

I don't know her name.

It's her mom.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait, hold on, so it's someone's kid, my mom. Oh my gosh, guys, this is hysterical. She's got a high schooler saying, hey, my mom works in a place. She doesn't know how to reach out her daughter.

Like she's not in high school, she's unmature.

Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, keep.

Going, lunchbox.

What you were saying?

And how big?

Because again, I don't know I can call them? Do me call my managers? See who willing to do that?

Not even that if he thinks it's legit, No he doesn't.

I already talked to him.

That's a good point because he deals with this stuff all the time and he has he runs a whole management company. What's if he answers, this is Tom. Hey, you're we're on the air, so don't say can you be on the air for a second. Yeah, okay, So

I would agree with that.

So do you think someone would message her in a DM and be like, hey, will you find an artist and I'll give you fifty grand? No, that doesn't seem It feels like it's a catfish scenario, Like she gets there and it's just an old dude in his underwear at the front door, okay, with a backyard barbecue. Yeah,

All right by way.

Okay, So yeah, what are the dates.

Of the event?

Well, I don't have the dates.

Whenever you want to come, no show up anytime. Hey guys, we're not going to tell you a date. We need this artist. You just picked the date and we'll have that fifty thousands Travis.

Travis just called me back. Oh my gosh, Hey you're on the air. Is that okay?

That's perfect?

Okay. So Abby who is a producer on the show. She answers phone, She does a lot of stuff. She's also thank you. She's also a sink. She sings, but just for fun. She goes to the bars and sings. She got offered to come and sing a couple songs host and they said bring a Nashville artist with you. And and the total budget's fifty thousand dollars. Now oka't perfect. So yeah, if Abby, if the day was open, would you fly out for twenty five thirty thousand play acoustic?

I've definitely played some interesting like private shows like I've played I've played a birthday party with Riley Green. And this wasn't like a long time ago. It was like last year. We played somebody's backyard in New Jersey.

Full, like literally full long.

They rented a huge pa in stage and they had like three hundred people over in their backyard and it was just me and Riley. So I've not done some interesting, odd little things like that before.

But so if me and Abby sing Abbey together, absolutely you can do whatever you want.

Cool.

But let's say it did happen, she's not being catfished and you had the date open for thirty grand, would you go and do it? Absolutely? Okay, Hey, time for Jeff. I'll take you just about anything. Well, don't say that you're you're negotiating down Travis. Yeah, never where about that? Okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, thank you, Travis. If she's not being catfish, we'll let you know.

Sounds good.

And by the way, I'm currently fishing right now and that's kind of small mouth.

Oh that's awesome. Okay, we're not We're at work, So that's up, all right, buddy, See leater Abby, you need to get back in touch with them.

Okay, So should I just pitch Travis or give them a few you know.

You need the date and I can work as but I'm setting this up so it's ten percent. Oh is that yeah? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is what I would say. Hit them up. See if it's real, Okay, say, depending on the date. Travis Dinning number one hit maker, Travis Dinning and yourself would be happy to come out and do it all. But it's going to cost it. Looking at the budget and travel, it's going to be sixty thousand if you find out it's real, and then

She makes twenty grand for going out and seeing a couple of songs.

What will you think I'll vomit?

Yeah? No, that's a real as the real questions.

Body react, Yeah, would you be happy for me? Would you be happy lunchbalks?

No, Okay, let's find out, Abby, do some due diligence. Have Scuba Steve get on it too, Scuba Steve your finder's feet. If it works from this and it all happens and everybody gets paid, you get five hundred dollars finder fee if it's all legit. Okay, I appreciate it. Thank you, Eddie.

Why do you even bring that my own?

Yeah? I brought the show.

What's my finder's fee?

Hold on cost money?

You couldn't have because you wouldn't have got Travis, because I wouldn't have been able to call them.

Sorry about that.

Yeah, like when I tore it costs a ton of money for me just to get out on the road, much less even before I get paid.

So you're gonna be fine.

But give me a thousand. Well, you get a segment, you get employee the month a note from Okay, Babby, let us know, let us know, Okay, I will it's the.

Best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Number two.

Kenny Chesney stopped by the studio this week and I was so excited. This is the first time Kenny Chesney has been in here since I've been part of the show so in the last like six and a half seven years, and it was really cool to have him in.

Like he is as cool as you think he would be.

He like brings the beach vibes with him even though he was sitting in a studio And I don't know how to explain it any more than that. He talked about his connection to sports and why he plays all these arenas, why he loves sports, including his voice of fall song that everybody fell in love with and the song that he hates performing now and then we also talked about some exciting things with his Nose Shoes Nation,

And if you're more of a watcher, then you can go watch this whole interview on YouTube. And if not, you're about to hear Kenny Chesney and Bobby Bones.

Number one the Friday Morning.

Conversation with Kenny Chesney.

When you came in, you mentioned it was cold. I keep the room freezing cold. They hate it. I like it. I like it too. Because I feel like it keeps me sharp and slightly uncomfortable, which is where I perform best if i'm If I get comfortable, then I'm slower.

No, no, look, I love it. If you walk on my bus on the road it is. I mean you can hang me in there.

Why to you?

Why you keep it cold?

I sleep better me? Oh it's sixty three in our bedroom. Have you ever heard of this thing called the chili pad?

Is it under your bed?

Yeah, it's like the thing that lays under the.

Mat on the map.

Can it be warm too?

Because my wife was gonna buy one to make it warm because I freeze her out.

But it.

Straps onto the mattress and you put all this stuff over it, and you can dial it down to it and you don't have to put it on their side.

Got your side is one?

Anyway?

Luckily I have a sleep number. Mine does that automatically.

But chili pat we looked at that for like, oh, it's incredible, and also make one eat chili. Though that's problem. Like I think my consumption or friedo pies would go up if I had the chili pad because I would just always be thinking about chili. Did you ever do David Letterman that when it be on that studio is freezing cold for the same reason.

Do you remember it being cold when you were there?

It was cold? Yeah, it was really cool.

Like almost the only thing I remember about the one thing I did Letterman like two or three times, and the last time I was there, I had my greatest you know, thank God that I had a Greatest Hits two album out right, and he introduced me.

I swear to god.

He goes, here's Kenny Chosney with his Greatest Hits eleven too.

That's funny. Who has eleven greatest hits records?

That's what.

But that's what he said.

You and the Eagles Man, that's it, the eleven greatest hits. We were talking and I'm gonna ask you a mentor question in a Seconday, I read a story about somebody and they're like, my mentor's this person. And I was like, why I know the person really well that he says a mentoring and that's not true.

I din'tve know him.

I didn't say it was, but I was like, let's all invent a fake mentor and my fake mentors. David Letterman, I don't know. I've never met him, it's like I'm a hero. So who is your real mentor? That you could have called it age twenty seven, you could have called it age forty one.

That would be one of my managers. My manager, Dell Morris is a mentor.

Sure, he find you way early.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And what's great about mentors is is that you know, if we had the if we had to learn, I mean, mentors are really important in everybody's lives. If you had to learn your own life, life's lessons, it's it's it's hard. But if you could learn through the lessons of someone else's, it makes it a little easier in life, you know.

Who artistically did you look up to, and even if you didn't know them really well creatively, you're like, man, what they do so amazing?

Well, I was always drawn to the people that wrote their songs and went out and performed them, you know, like Bruce Springsteen, like Jimmy Buffett. So, I mean so many people that just as a kid, you know what's crazy though, As a kid growing up in East Tennessee, I was I didn't know the genius of that. You know. I was playing sports and I heard Alabama on the radio and I heard, you know, everything they played on

You started doing it, you started to see how heartily hard it was, that's right, And until you get in the mix, it's hard to actually see how it's being made.

Yeah, And so for me, I was when I first started this. I moved to town, you know, several years ago, and was and was signed by a cuff Rose which is now Sony. Sony bought a COO rows years ago, and that's all I thought I was gonna do. I had no idea that I was going to go out on the road, and I mean I hoped I would, but I was so in love with the thought of creating and given the world something that didn't exist yesterday, right, And so that's that, that's what really got me excited

It's you know, you're known for your audience, obviously for all eleven Greatest Hits albums, but also but also because all reality you have thirty five number one songs and that's not even including all the songs that were even bigger than some of the number ones. That's the chart didn't even recognize as a number one, right, So right, you have this massive community, bigger than anything that I've seen in our format.

You know, there are people like fish Are Grateful Day Chesney.

You can go through those groups and you would know kind of what the vibe is by the culture that is spread around the country. Now, my point with all this is it's even shown in TV shows. There was that show where there's a psycho killer. Steve Carell was in it, and the guy the killer would like go to Kenny Chesney like yeah, oh yeah. He had a crew and they all loved each other. And he was like, we go to Chesney shows. How amazing and weird that

It's crazy. I mean it really is.

And look, Bobby, to be up there on stage and see the faces of people that listen to this music and want to come obviously experience the songs, but just experience.

The experience of being there.

That is, we didn't wake up and just it be that way. You know, it was built over the years and it's but it's crazy to see. I mean, I had so many people call me about that show. The Patient is what I called The Patient. Yeah, that's right, and I had I mean, I had so many people call me. I haven't seen it yet, but it was complimentary to you, very complimenting. It wasn't like you were killing people, No, it was like he enjoyed my music.

And what they were showing though, and not even in a psychotic way, was again the culture that you've built out your shows, where everybody just loves each other and they'll look out and travel together. That was kind of the warmness of that.

Weird show was your music.

It was the balance of the darkness.

And it's got to be crazy to be just a dude like you. Obviously some people look at you in a lot of different ways, Kenny the Great singer, but you know you your dude. And to know that what you've done has crossed over into such mainstream and what you've built, it's something.

That you don't dream of, honestly, you know.

But it's just it's I was flattered that it that that it has, you know. But Bobby, I don't think of I don't think about that. I mean I I just I get up every day and try to create and try to be the best person I can and grow our audience.

And but I think one of the things that has.

Has helped do that is over the over the years, year after year, people come to the shows and they realize that it's that it's it's a safe place from psycho killers, that and and just negativity.

Yeah, nobody.

I don't.

I don't use my platform or my stage to impose my thinking. You know. I when you come to our shows, you're not going to be told what to think, You're not going to be told how to vote.

You know.

It's just it's just it's you're safe from all that because you get all that negativity and and try to be manipulated everywhere else in the world, especially if you watch enough TV. So I would like to think that's where that started.

Who was the person I was like, can we need to do flags because the flags of they're now everywhere? But that's also something that's kind of weird if you don't know people are going to use that to sell flags, Like yeah, who was Maybe it was you like, we need to do flags for boats or flags for whatever it is.

Well, it started with boats because I've spent a lot of my adult life on the boat, and that's where it started. And then it was my merch guy's Tim and Darrell.

I've got a lot.

I've got three or four guys that are out on the road with me once my road manager David, and he runs my own company, and then Tim and Dale run my merch company. We all went to high school together and so crazy, it's crazy in college roommates and so you know that they know exactly the button to push to bring you know, can easy go down a little bit? You know what I mean, Like they've been with me forever. So but it was their idea initially, well my my idea for the boat flags and went,

It is now. It's just normal because it's the culture of your artist, the live experience, the music. Like it's been a really cool thing. But like you said, it wasn't built overnight.

No, I mean it was. It was not built overnight.

Which to me and I want to we've talked about the new record before you got here. But the record is called Born. That's a great song, super catchy, and you know, one of my friends had the Morgans, one of the writers in that song, like, yeah, she's great.

But when you name a record.

Something yeah, and you name it born, there's also a thought of, well, the name of this also needs to represent who I Am Now and the Why Born? It's your twentieth record, right, do you feel.

Reborn in a way? You know, like new music brings new energy, you know? And I felt like that when I first heard this song. It just it's just a reminder that although although we're all very different, we're all in ways at our core still the same. We all dream, we all love our loved ones, we all want to be loved, and in the middle of it, we want to for me anyway, When I heard this song, there's a lot in it specifically that says, what does life and love and truth all mean?

Already? Making it harder than it has to be? Am?

I making it harder than it has to be? And I am very guilty of that.

You know.

I'm in a place in my life where, well, yeah, I've got a we all have you know, you this, this this voice in our head that we all talk to every day is unnecessary sometimes and I do that a lot, and sometimes I do think I'm making it harder than it has to be, you know. And that's that's why that song stuck out to me so much, and just energetically and melodically and the nature of how

You know. So I'm looking forward to doing that this summer.

You know, you're going back out.

It's the Sun Goes Down twenty twenty four tour, and man, what a show.

It's Zach, Zach Brown Band, Meghan Maroney.

Uncle Cracker. Yeah, holy crap.

Yeah, it's gonna be a fun summer.

I mean, even if you weren't there, that'd be a good show, right with you there.

It's all I mean, well, but you know, Zach doesn't have to do it, but he is.

Yeah, this is which is great. I couldn't believe that he said, yes, you know, but so it was I And then I've met Megan once and I think, uh, you know what she's she's building her own beautiful audience, a.

Song rioter to the court.

Yeah.

And then Uncle Cracker, you know when we put out When the Sun Goes Down several years ago. You know, we we had we met each other just once, and here's this guy from from Detroit and me from East Tennessee. And to think that we would be live friends after that song, you we I would have never have guessed it.

You got still buddies.

Yeah, gosh, I mean we're so such good friends and and have him back out there. I mean we just did it because the music great, but look, the fun factor goes way up and the joke factor.

I mean, we laughed so much, and I need that out on the road. I do. I just can't sit on the bus all day and watch direct TV.

I need that here.

Yeah, we're trying to laugh, Okay, you try to everything.

I want to laugh though the funny one. Kenny Chesney dot com to see all the dates and so, so you know, you're the guy that I associate with doing stadiums, like the country artists that I like who does stadiums freaking Kenny has forever.

Like to me, you're that guy and you've done stadiums forever.

And I think even like the where the Patriots play, Like I even have places that I really associate you with playing. I don't know why there's New England dates, feel like maybe there were just so many stories that came from those from friends that went up or even you coming in here. But stadiums versus arenas, how do you have to perform differently based on the venue of a stadium open air outside massive most of the time.

Well.

Last year, by design, I went and did small market arenas and Kelsey Ballerini went out with me and that was a blast. But it's it is different, I mean, just just you know, with the stadium, I've learned. It took me a couple of years, actually, Bobby, because I was although my me and my crew love the fact that we were doing it, I hadn't wrapped my arms around. It took of me emotionally and mentally to do it. By the third year of doing it, I felt like

Do you have so many cool sports relationships? Because of so many that to me is the coolest thing.

It is unbelievable at the I mean, I have I have more friends in sports than I have in music, honestly, And if you come to our show at any one of the stadium shows, you're gonna see more sports people there outside the bus.

Than you will music people, probably because that's cooler for you too, right, I mean that'sen.

We're not mused people all time?

Are now My music friends were busy? Yeah, that's but yeah. I mean, like, look, who's your coolest.

Sports friend that when you were twenty you'd be thirteen, I don't care, or even twenty eight thirty that you're like, man, that's cool to watching my TV. But now they're your buddy.

Oh well, I mean there's so many.

Like when we put out The Boys a Fall song, and ESPN asked us to make The Boys a Fall film, they paid for me to go around and talk to all my heroes, and all of a sudden, I mean, I was I was in the I was in the living room of John Madden, and I was in the living room of Brett Favor, and I was in the living room of Nick Saban. So many people and when we were done recording, when shooting, we had dinner at their house.

It was crazy.

And so that's so after that, so many sports people started coming to the shows, and so that's that's where I mean, I was friends with sports people before, but there's one thing that that I've I've always that I know now for sure sports people really want to be a music person, and a music person would give anything to be a sports person. So there there's this there's this mutual respect, you know, and so so yeah, that's that's where it started.

Coolest athlete or coach to come out and sing or do be a part of your show, to jump out and just do it fu so many I mean, like who comes to my first not too about just who comes to by Andy Reid.

But Andy Reid the coach of the chiefs Now but he came out when he was coach for the Eeles Philadelphia Eagles, and he brought out an Eagles helmet, and I got a small head. You know, I've got my I've got my my straw cowboy hat, you know, that fits on there pretty good. And he came out and he brought an Eagles helmet and doing this fly Eagles

Even fit on his head, Like he's got such a big head. Plays went crazy.

I'm looking at the picture because he's in like a Hawaiian shirt.

Yeah.

Yeah, and the helmet has like consumed your head in this movie. That, yeah, that's super well for them.

They get so excited to come up. And you know, we played lambeau Field. The last time we played lambeau Field was in twenty fifteen, I think, and and Mike McCarthy was still coach the Cowboys coach now was actually still coach for the Packers at the time, and they had just won the Super Bowl, and he brought the Lombardi Trophy out on stage, and I swear to god, you could feel the foundation of lambeau Field Shake.

It was so loud, they were the crowd was going on.

It was so loud.

I mean, that was one of the It was one of the most amazing experiences. So you know, when you're up there singing a song about their life and validating their life journey with the song like boys Will Fall, I mean, they just it's just wonderful.

I want to play another song from the new album. This is Guilty Pleasure. So you wrote the song, yeah, And did you feel more of a priority to write or are you just more interested in writing? Like, well, why this record? Was it more than the past? It seems like a bit more.

It took Yeah, I got I wrote four or five songs on this record. Although I've never been the kind of artist that said, Okay, I've got to write a song, man. If I have, if I had that mentality, I wouldn't ever recorded you in Tequila or yeah no shoes or yeah a lot. You know, But it took three years to make this record. So why you know why?

Well, one of.

The reasons is it's you don't want to repeat yourself. And at this point, you know when people sing you songs, yeah, maybe maybe ten years ago I would have recorded that song, but I've already said that, you know, so it's it just took a minute. And then as far as Guilty Pleasure, I wrote that song with Ross Kopperman, Josh Osbourne and

And so that's where that song came from.

Just a few more questions. We have Kenny Chesney here with us new records out today called Born. We we're talking to Hardy and he's one of the writers on your single now Take Her Home, And we played that song a decent Moountain Now started to become a big old hit. So Hardy's one of these guys that writes so many songs. He's so good and there are other good writers on this too. But is he one of the guys too that we ever hit a guy up like Hardy and be like, hey, what do you have?

Or will he come to you? And be like, I have something that you may like. Well, that's what happened with Take Her Home. I got a email from him, and you know, I'd never really hung out with him much. Our paths hadn't crossed that much. But I got a email from it from him saying, you know, me and the guys wrote a song yesterday and we had you

What is your favorite hit that you could have recorded five fifteen years ago that you've played a bunch and you kind of like, man, I'm tired of it, but now it's back and it's awesome again, and you like, it's like a rejuvenated feeling about playing this hit again.

I got really over the years, I got really tired of playing Big Star, and we didn't do it for a long time, and then h one night.

We we did it.

And the good stuff we did good stuff last year and we hadn't done it in ten years for some reason, and we did it year. Those two songs we did last year, and I went, wow, you know, it has new energy now, I.

Know new people listening to it.

You know.

So it's it's putting your show together now, is you know, we're in the process of doing that, because I mean, we start soon in Tampa. We opened at the Buccaneers Football Stadium in Tampa on April twentieth, and we're in the process now of trying to make it, you know, to give the audience Okay, well, we know they want to hear these but what's gonna what's gonna make you feel good like us, feel like we're not just repeating the same thing, and so you'll do a better show if you feel good.

R I mean exactly so.

But those two songs last year we did and we hadn't done them in a while, and they sounded great.

They felt good to us.

When I think a Big Star, I think it a live version with you and Taylor.

Yeah she, I mean that was on my birthday. I don't know what was it, twenty fifteen. We opened at the Arena in Nashville, and she showed up on my birthday as a birthday gift and sang Big Star with me. Play went nuts and she pulled some little girl up in that girl, I mean, she was that girl was bawling that Taylor did it, you know. And so I'm I'm so look, I I've I don't have enough adjectives to describe Taylor. I mean, she's just absolutely great, you know.

And so what about me? How many adjutive do you have?

I got a lot of.

Final question before the final question. Do you do ice bats every day? When I'm on the road.

I do them every day.

I'm starting to do them almost every day now, but I've got my host set up on the road and at home, I do about fifteen minutes in the sauna. I'm working my way up to three minutes and ice and oh and I I'm gonna say in the sauna. No, probably the NYE that sucks.

Yeah.

Heat you do heat, ice, heat, ice, heat ice, and I do that.

I do that three rounds and if I'm bored, I'll you know, I'll go, I'll go into the four rounds. But what I should do, which I don't, is after my show because I run around and jump around so much on stage. I should do the ice right after my show, but I don't. I wait usually wait till the next day, and by then.

I'm inflammation is inflammation?

Yeah? Yeah? Do you ever weigh yourself before and after a show just to see No, I've had people, you know, a CDC guy would lose Angus would lose like fifteen pounds.

I've had so many people ask me to do that because it's just I just move. I can't help it when I when you have the baby.

No, it's running around the studio right now. You guys can't see it.

You can't stand it. But I've lost five pounds in here.

Yes, No, but I'm gonna do that one day. I've got one of these myzone belts, you know what I mean?

What's that?

It's a track and it tracks everything, Yeah, goes, it goes right here on your athletes us.

The god I'm picturing like a heart rate monitor from yeah.

Yeah, but it tells you how many calories you burn, how many steps, whatever you know, and then when you get back into a Wi Fi area, it'll download all the information and you can see what what happened, and they still your identity. Yeah.

Yeah, that hot cold derby though, like so many doctors say that that's the key to your biological age.

And bringing that down and.

Decreases stress and it decreases.

Which strasa leads to aging.

So like you're internal, but also I feel like you've done a really good job just even you don't seem to have a in all these years.

It's like, what else do you do?

You know?

How you get so much sun and not look like someone who had a bunch of.

I just went to this.

I went to the doctor the other day just because just that felt it was time to get my skin checked mtology. Yeah, and she goes, you look great, Okay, great. I might have been a son my whole life. I got that from my mother. We have been in a son our whole lives, you know, And so I don't know. Maybe one day at a rear its head, but it hasn't so far. But thank you for saying that. I mean, I I my diet is really strict, especially like after Foxborough it'll be football season and I'll.

Like speaking of guilty pleasure, I mean, not like about the song, not like like food.

She means, yeah, yeah, food.

I like, you know, I grew up in the country and we're all you know, my whole family is emotional eaters, you know, so I I like country cooking, you know. But then again, I love Italian I love red wine, and I went to Italy several times and it spoiled me. I mean, I love that food, so that's my guilty pleasure. But I don't do I don't you know. I don't eat or drink that much like that until after the tour is over. And then I during football season, I eat and drink.

What I want. And it's a long football season.

So I gotta get ready to go, you know when every year around Christmas and January, first, I go, okay, my god, April was coming, so I gotta I gotta turn that switch off and become this other person.

All right, final question, and it'll lead to a little thing here. But the new records out today, Kenny Chasney born the tour. What you guys can go to Kenny Chasney dot com. You can see all the dates there. I encourage you to go at such a great show and after you answer it, it will lead to an action. But do you have any really cool signed sports memorabilia from any of your favorite people?

I do.

What is your favorite one or two things that you have?

Well, I've got I mean, like I said, I got John madd and Bobby Bowden, Nick Saban, Peyton Manning Devils. These are all signed football helmets like you've got. I mean, I've got so many. I had more. But when I lived out west of town, what year was it that the big flood.

Happened, is right?

Yeah, yeah, So I had a I built this huge gym and all it was I mean it was a huge gym to work out and train, but all four walls was like a trophy case of just sports memorabilia. I mean it was so many people over the years, and the flood, oh really took all of it. So I had to replenish.

If they said we have to give everything away except one thing, though, what's the one piece of memorabilia that you have that you would keep.

I have a Patriots helmet signed by Brady and Belichick and and it says all the super Bowls they won together.

I'd probably keep that. I mean probably.

We obviously raise a bunch of money for Saint Jude, and I want to show these are seven dollars. Okay, So I have four of these. Okay, if you wouldn't mind signing, they love to and so, but three of them just sign normally. But we have an appraiser that comes on because I'm a big memorabil you got myself. And she comes on and because I have a helmet that's John Elway and Peyton Manning. They they're both super Bowl champs. And I said, how much can I get

Then we're gonna sell and see if it goes for more and give that money.

Sage. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so we'll pass.

You the marketer while I do your your record.

There's one, all right, and if somebody can help him, because I can't bend over.

My back is killing me.

You want just right, just yeah, just sign Kenny Jasney draws Hi, sell about whatever you want.

That's it on three of them, very easy.

On the fourth as our item, our experiment to Bobby, don't sell this on the black market. Hilarious. And then we'll see if it goes for more because I owned it, which I don't think it will.

And we'll give We're gonna give all the money said.
