[Martin Luther King III]

What if you ask two different people.

[Minnie Driver]

The same set of questions? Even if the questions are the same, our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver and I set out.

[Jon Stewart]

To explore this idea in my podcast.

[Minnie Driver]

And now Mini Questions is returning for another season. We've asked an entirely new set of guest our seven questions, including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe, and Cord Jefferson. Listen to many questions on the iHeartRadio.

[Jon Stewart]

App, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Minnie Driver]

Seven questions, limitless answers. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Part two.

[Martin Luther King III]

She's breaking down the top seven segments.

[Minnie Driver]

From the Bobby Bones show this week.

[Morgan Number Two]

Happy weekend everybody. Welcome to the Best Bits. I'm so happy you're here. Make sure you check out part one and part three this weekend. I have lunchbox on with me as the coaches convention is going on here in Nashville if you're a sore loser. But he did stop by, you know, on a Saturday to help me do the best bit. So check Both of those out. But the reason you're here on part two is to catch up on the Bobby Bones show. So let's do it.

[Tisha Allen]

Woohoo.

[Morgan Number Two]

All the talk lately has been about TikTok shutting down and that date is fast approaching, aka this weekend. Well, Bobby shared his thoughts on the TikTok shutdown situation and what he thinks is going to happen.

[Minnie Driver]

Number seven, I get asked a lot if TikTok is really going away. So this is what I think is going to happen. TikTok will never be gone. Right. So they need to sell the company, ByteDance to someone that's not China. American. The Supreme Court just said, we're moving on with this. We're moving forward with TikTok shutting down. There's a specific date coming up. It's the day before Trump is inaugurated. Again, Trump has said he thinks TikTok should stay. He's even asked the Supreme Court, hey, let's, let's extend this thing. And they haven't yet. And what they're going to do, by the way, TikTok will not just, poof, be gone from your phone, it will stay on your phone. It will not be available in the App Store and it will not update. So eventually, if it goes as it looks like it's going right now, it will die a slow death. It's too big to fail. Now, ByteDance isn't owned by the Chinese government, but everything is run by the Chinese government in China.

[Jon Stewart]

What are you saying?

[Minnie Driver]

ByteDance, that's the company that owns TikTok.

[Jon Stewart]

Ah, okay.

[Minnie Driver]

In China, every company is run, run. They don't have people in it, but they are in service to the Chinese government. And so one of the big concerns with, because there are a lot of apps and websites China won't let people go to in China because of America. Similar reasons, propaganda, et cetera. And it's not like we're watching TikTok and we're getting Chinese flags and we're like, you know what? Today I feel like rooting for China. Like, that really isn't it. But they can create division based on what you love, what you're passionate about, especially in political times, your echo chamber. They can create division so bad that what happens is there's anger within the culture. So again, people think, what? Who cares if China's watching me? I'm never going to go be Mr. Chinese man, you know, Never going to root for them in the Olympics. I'm never going to. But it's not that. It's. They're trying to divide us they have full capability to do whatever they want, to feed us whatever they want whenever they want. That's really the issue. And By Dance has even said we'll not sell it and lose money before we give away our algorithm because it's that valuable. Now, do I think that tick tock will go away? I do not. There will be some resolution met here. Do people like Zuckerberg, do people like that? They want TikTok to go away because that's competition. So they are getting information from us, obviously. As far as like tendencies, what we like, do. They probably can hack in and get our passwords to stuff. Right. It's in our phone. We really don't know what they're doing. And America doesn't like it that our adversary has access to that. Whether they've used it or not, they don't like it. I watched a whole special last week where a government official comes on 60 Minutes and goes, oh, the Chinese have malware and all of our stuff. It's just when they plan to use it, they have malware in our water, they have malware in our grid.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like a power plant.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah. And if they decide to use it, then they can, with a single push boom, it can go down, cause mayhem. Now, if they did that to us, what are we going to do back? Right.

[Bobby Bones]

But again, hopefully we've infiltrated them somehow.

[Minnie Driver]

And for sure we have.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, for sure.

[Minnie Driver]

We have watched enough spy shows. We're for sure. I'm trying them. Yeah.

[Jon Stewart]

From tv.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah. Yeah. They just make that crap up.

[Bobby Bones]

Obviously.

[Minnie Driver]

So it is only a few days until TikTok could be banned, but it will not be gone from your phone. So you're not just going to. It's not going to be a gravestone says rip in your TikTok part.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you on any of the other things?

[Minnie Driver]

Like, I will not download the Chinese.

[Bobby Bones]

Like Red Note.

[Minnie Driver]

Nope.

[Bobby Bones]

Or Lemon.

[Minnie Driver]

You know what Red Notes really called? Well, I don't want to say what I think it's called. What. What's a Chinese word?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I can't say it.

[Minnie Driver]

And if I say it, it's going to sound like I'm. I just don't know Chinese. But it's very Chinese word that now all of a sudden it's called Red Note.

[Jon Stewart]

And Red Note is a Chinese company.

[Minnie Driver]

It's called. It's called Super Eagle. Like they're really trying to sucker us in.

[Jon Stewart]

I like that.

[Minnie Driver]

It's like X, I, O, P O. It's like X, I, A, O zhu.

[Bobby Bones]

N G, S AU Yeah.

[Minnie Driver]

Z Hon. You might.

[Jon Stewart]

You might have nailed it.

[Minnie Driver]

It's not. I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

AKA Red.

[Minnie Driver]

Red Note. So people are running over to it because they don't want to lose the ability to be on a Chinese app. You can create on a lot of stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Minnie Driver]

So it's called. This is how you say it for real. Xiao Hongu.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Jon Stewart]

That's not.

[Minnie Driver]

But I don't know the X that language, so I do not think Tik Tok will go away. I do think it will be sold at some point. I do think that when Trump gets an office, there will be some levers pulled to make sure that it stays alive. That's my thought. I was surprised. The Supreme Court said, continue on with shutting it down, though. 5, 4. It's a close decision.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. I'm, like, thinking like, they bipartisan, though.

[Minnie Driver]

It's bipartisan because obviously there is. There were some liberal and some conservative judges on the same side.

[Jon Stewart]

Yeah, man. If it goes away, I'm gonna just have a lot of spare time in my hands.

[Minnie Driver]

We'll find something else. Go over to Sha Hong Shu.

[Jon Stewart]

Red. What is it?

[Bobby Bones]

Red Note.

[Minnie Driver]

Red Note. Sparkling Eagle. They just. They call it the most hot dog sundae.

[Jon Stewart]

Ooh, I like that.

[Minnie Driver]

It's the most American things ever when it's really run by the Chinese. So. But it's like. It's like nut cutting time, though. Like, they got to make some decisions, but it won't go away at first anyway.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man, these influencers are in trouble.

[Minnie Driver]

You're already seeing a lot of them going, follow me on Instagram. It's not going away, so they're really not in that much trouble. But you're already seeing a lot of them go, okay, go follow my YouTube. Follow me on Instagram. What's funny is there are Chinese people that get on, or even Chinese Americans that get on and they act. They're like, hey, guys, just so you know, I've been your Chinese spy the whole time watching everything you do. I'm going to miss you. Hilarious.

[Jon Stewart]

That is funny, huh?

[Minnie Driver]

Have you seen those?

[Bobby Bones]

No, but.

[Jon Stewart]

But do we know they're joking for.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, for real.

[Minnie Driver]

I think they're joking. They're like, I am your specific Chinese spy. It's been watching over you. And you know what? You've really been watching. Good stuff. I'm gonna miss you.

[Bobby Bones]

Some creators are like, I don't really care. I want to the. If I'm gonna get spied on or if my stuff is gonna get compromised, I want that to be up to me, not the government or whatever, but to what you were sharing a minute ago, Bobby, is. It's like. It's not just about them getting information about you personally. It's about them indoctrinating us. And without us even knowing it, it's like a slow drip.

[Minnie Driver]

The ability to shift our culture and divide our culture in a way that we may not even notice. They have complete control of that.

[Jon Stewart]

I will say I feel dumber after watching a lot of tick tock.

[Bobby Bones]

Like that's their goal.

[Jon Stewart]

Me and my son will start laughing and my wife will be like, what are you guys like, oh, my God, you two are the same. And he's 16.

[Minnie Driver]

Gotcha. I was going through mine and I mentioned this on the show and it was giving me all the math stuff and all this, like, hardcore. Every video was math and science. And Yeah, I was gonna get to that joke, but. Yeah, you just cut me out.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a joke.

[Minnie Driver]

Well, no, it was.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know you were going to a joke.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah, well, no, I was like telling a story. Cut at the end of my story. Out. It was on the stem.

[Jon Stewart]

It was a joke.

[Minnie Driver]

I didn't know you were telling. We've been doing this for 20 years. Do you think at some point I didn't.

[Lunchbox]

Sorry, can you finish the joke, please?

[Minnie Driver]

It wasn't a joke. It was a comedic story that I was going to share. A little anecdote. Me freaking out on TikTok, thinking my TikTok was ruined because it was all constellations and algebra. And I yelled at Caitlin, my TikTok's broken. I'm on some bad algorithm. And it was STEM, which is the version that their kids get. But no, don't do that. Screw it. It wasn't even a joke. It was just a funny story.

[Jon Stewart]

She's laughing.

[Amy]

She's lying.

[Minnie Driver]

She's lying, Chris Ross. Doesn't matter. Do you know what STEM means?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Science, technology, engineering, mathematics.

[Minnie Driver]

Good job.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah, good job.

[Lunchbox]

So you really got on some stem?

[Minnie Driver]

Dude, I thought my was broken. I was sad. I was like, hey, lan, my algorithm is broken.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but the. But yes. That's the thing that sometimes we don't think about is they give us all this stuff that's just like. Doesn't teach us anything. And then their kids over there, there's such strict rules about what is, what content they're shown.

[Minnie Driver]

They can also elevate disinformation education, which has been. Oh, yeah.

[Jon Stewart]

Oh, yeah, like UFOs stuff.

[Minnie Driver]

No, not UFOs, like political drones, disinformation. Oh my God.

[Jon Stewart]

Drones and stuff.

[Minnie Driver]

Number six. Go ahead, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

I came across a list of the most attractive male hobbies according to women.

[Minnie Driver]

Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

All right.

[Minnie Driver]

Because I got a few. I got a few here. Here's a couple. I make the list. I play Madden on PlayStation.

[Bobby Bones]

Not in the top five.

[Minnie Driver]

Don't spoil it for me yet. I want to, like, hear the countdown. Oh, I collect sports memorabilia and some sports cards.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Minnie Driver]

And watch football. I exercise. Watch football. I hate exercising, though. Okay, those are mine. Let's see where they fall in the list. All right, go ahead. Number one.

[Bobby Bones]

The number one most attractive male hobby is reading.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah, I put myself in that somewhat. I really have seasons of reading. Like, I looked. I think I read 10 or 11 full books last year, but only did like a 4 month span because I took like a month and read. Then I didn't read anything for a while. Hot.

[Bobby Bones]

Four months, I bet.

[Jon Stewart]

Hey, sexy.

[Minnie Driver]

Oh, good point, good point. I had to beat her off with a stick.

[Jon Stewart]

I bet you did.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, go ahead in at number two, speaking a foreign language.

[Jon Stewart]

Oh, you know French? You know Spanish?

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah. Enough. All my friends were Mexican or, or. Or French text. South Texan when I lived in Texas and they all spoke Spanish and I couldn't speak it back, but I had to learn enough of it because I knew when they were talking crap or they were like, trying to cheat me at something.

[Bobby Bones]

But French is what you took in school.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah, I know. Probably I know Mexican or South Texan more than I know. Okay. Because it's.

[Jon Stewart]

Spanish is different all over the country.

[Lunchbox]

All over.

[Minnie Driver]

All over the world. So there's a difference. Mexican and South Texan. You guys do a. It's like Tex Mex.

[Jon Stewart]

Right. Like, I know.

[Minnie Driver]

And then you put a little English in there.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead in. At number three, playing an instrument.

[Minnie Driver]

My wife does not think me playing guitar is that attractive.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Jon Stewart]

You play around the house a lot?

[Minnie Driver]

Never. But I.

[Bobby Bones]

But I used to she on stage?

[Minnie Driver]

I think not. Not mostly. I'll be playing if I'm writing a song at home. So then I'm like ween or ween or. It's always something stupid. So I don't think she's finds that to be that attractive.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, go ahead in. At number four is cooking.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah, I can see why women would like that. I don't. I. I don't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's a male hobby that women find hot. And the final one rounding out the top five is woodworking.

[Minnie Driver]

Do they find that hot? I mean, are there enough.

[Morgan Number Two]

Pretty hot?

[Minnie Driver]

I mean. Okay, Jesus, you win. Everybody else, maybe it.

[Bobby Bones]

My college boyfriend whittled wood.

[Jon Stewart]

Whittled.

[Minnie Driver]

I don't think a whittler is really turning the ladies on.

[Bobby Bones]

Like some wood making machine thing. Like, I don't know, Like. I think it's just power tools in general.

[Jon Stewart]

Yes.

[Minnie Driver]

Like fixing stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Sure.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah. Because I'm dead either.

[Jon Stewart]

Have you ever seen dude doing a jackhammer?

[Minnie Driver]

I did a jackhammer. They're hard.

[Lunchbox]

That's a pretty interesting. I mean, it looks weird, man.

[Minnie Driver]

And there are different weights. Like, a regular jackhammer is very heavy, but there are some that are massively heavy. I did in breaking Bobby Bones. We had to build something with jackhammers. You gotta be jacked for a jack. That's why I call it a jackhammer. Gotta be jacked. Do you have the least attractive hobbies?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, of course.

[Minnie Driver]

All right, boys, brace yourselves. Go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

Comic books.

[Minnie Driver]

I do not do that.

[Jon Stewart]

Mike D. Does.

[Minnie Driver]

I'm good with it. Next.

[Bobby Bones]

Cosplay.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah, I don't really act as a character. Cosplay is when you dress up as something and like, act and you be it.

[Lunchbox]

Those are nerds.

[Bobby Bones]

Next up, debating.

[Minnie Driver]

We do it on the show every day.

[Bobby Bones]

Drinking.

[Minnie Driver]

Why is debating on the list of unattractive hobbies?

[Jon Stewart]

That's just not sexy.

[Minnie Driver]

But also, whose hobby is debating? Honey, it's Thursday night. I'm going to my normal deb competition. I don't think that's a thing. All right, go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

Drinking.

[Minnie Driver]

What?

[Lunchbox]

That's unattractive?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, just probably if you make it too much of a hobby.

[Jon Stewart]

Sure.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah. Too much of a hobby. If it's a. More of a lifestyle, that probably. Yeah, go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

And then mtg. That's the fifth thing. That's the least attractive male hobby. How did you know what that was? I had to Google it.

[Minnie Driver]

I know. I'm always. I'm super nerd adjacent. Like, a lot of my stuff is close to other nerdy stuff. Yeah. So I kind of have.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it is. It's called Magic the Gathering. It's an online card game of sorts.

[Minnie Driver]

It doesn't be online. They can be regular cards. Let me go to another nerd here, Mike. It can be just cards. Yeah. Like, Post Malone is huge into it. He bought one card that's worth a million dollars.

[Jon Stewart]

He's. He's not nerdy.

[Minnie Driver]

Post Malone? Oh, yeah. Very much so. Way into it. Yeah, way into it. But also he does other cool things, like play an instrument.

[Jon Stewart]

Sure.

[Minnie Driver]

Haven't seen woodwork, though.

[Jon Stewart]

Whittling woodwork.

[Minnie Driver]

You know, woodwork there. Okay. Hottest hobby that you have around the. Around the room for the guys. If you had to pick your hottest hobby where your wife's like, well, she doesn't have to be, like, turned on but not turned off the least.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's a good question.

[Minnie Driver]

I don't know that any of us have a hobby where our wives are.

[Jon Stewart]

Like, just, Eddie, go cooking.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah, you do cook. That's a good one.

[Jon Stewart]

Like, the other day, I was chopping broccoli, and I guess, like, I didn't have a shirt on, and I was.

[Minnie Driver]

Like, just, okay, no, shirt thing is not gonna turn around. But the chopping broccoli might.

[Jon Stewart]

She did come up behind. She's like, oh, my gosh, she looks so good doing that.

[Minnie Driver]

No, no, she just like, you chopping.

[Bobby Bones]

Broccoli more than, like, your bicep every time you chop.

[Jon Stewart]

I guess so. Yeah. She grabbed my arms and she was like, gosh, looks sexy.

[Minnie Driver]

Okay, lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

My rec. Soccer. I'm going to tell you what. She likes me in my soccer outfit. Like, my shorts, in my uniform.

[Bobby Bones]

Cosplay. He does do cosplay.

[Minnie Driver]

Oh, he's cosplay for sure.

[Lunchbox]

No, that's not cosplay. I'm an athlete.

[Tisha Allen]

Yeah.

[Minnie Driver]

She just says cosplay. Mls.

[Lunchbox]

She likes the way I look in my soccer shorts. She just says, man, that looks good.

[Minnie Driver]

I don't know what my wife would think as far as Amy, you know, my wife. What do you think I do that she would find least disgusting? I know, I know.

[Jon Stewart]

Think about it, Amy.

[Minnie Driver]

I don't have a lot of hobbies. I don't have a lot of hobbies. I turn every hobby I have into some work, and she's like, why do you take everything you like? And turn. I'm like, because I love doing it.

[Jon Stewart]

I got it. I got it. Pickleball.

[Bobby Bones]

When he gets real competitive.

[Lunchbox]

Well.

[Minnie Driver]

And we play a little bit. And she's pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Minnie Driver]

But I don't think she sees it and goes. Bites her lip, maybe. Look at that guy with his pickle.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe you should just keep reading.

[Jon Stewart]

Yeah, dude, read more.

[Minnie Driver]

I think that just keeps me busy, though, with her. All right, thank you. I'll work on this. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

[Morgan Number Two]

Number two, you may recall the week prior that there was a story about Eddie and his wife and how she drove herself to the hospital when she was about to give birth. Well, Lunchbox has another bad story about Eddie. We were supposed to do a bad story. Good story. Well, two bad stories, apparently, for Eddie. So all the skeletons are coming out for some reason.

[Minnie Driver]

Number five on the show last week we debuted bad story, Good story about Eddie. And the story was the bad one was Eddie made his wife drive when she was in labor. And he rode in the passenger seat.

[Jon Stewart]

Because it was the fourth time that we'd gone to the hospital.

[Minnie Driver]

But still, dude. And then he made her stop to get him an Egg mcmuffin as she was in labor while she was driving.

[Jon Stewart]

We hadn't eaten breakfast.

[Minnie Driver]

Okay, but. So that was a story. We meant to get to a good story. We didn't. We're still not yet, so I think.

[Jon Stewart]

You did that on purpose.

[Minnie Driver]

No, we're going to do bad story if we have time. Good story.

[Jon Stewart]

We'll have time. Let's get on with a bad story.

[Minnie Driver]

Lunchbox has a bad Eddie story he wants to share. And it took that segment for you to remember this?

[Lunchbox]

It did. It jogged my memory about when my wife was giving birth to our second child. We're at the hospital, and Eddie and Ray were nice enough to bring us some lunch, and we eat the chick fil a. And he goes in. We're walking back into the room, and this lady goes, oh, my goodness. The baby's coming. The baby's coming. It is time to push. And Eddie looks at this lady and goes, where's the doctor? She goes, I am the doctor.

[Minnie Driver]

Oh, dang. So what are you saying?

[Lunchbox]

That he's sexist? He had no idea that a woman could be a doctor.

[Minnie Driver]

And he looked at her.

[Bobby Bones]

He's like, why wouldn't she be the doctor?

[Minnie Driver]

No idea.

[Jon Stewart]

What color of jacket does a doctor wear?

[Minnie Driver]

A man or woman usually doesn't matter.

[Jon Stewart]

A man or woman. What color of white jacket? It's a white one. She was wearing a blue one like all the other nurses. How was I supposed to know she was the doctor?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, she was running around telling everybody to get in their position, get ready. And then Eddie goes, well, where's the doctor?

[Jon Stewart]

Yeah, I was in panic mode. You know, we're having a baby. Where's the doctor? She said, I am the doctor. I'm like, right, I'll get out of here.

[Minnie Driver]

A tough one to hear.

[Jon Stewart]

But you understand though, I. Me and Ray took them lunch because.

[Minnie Driver]

And that's the good story.

[Lunchbox]

That's the good story.

[Minnie Driver]

There you go.

[Lunchbox]

But then he looks at that lady and I mean, just straighten her face goes, well, where's the doctor?

[Jon Stewart]

Oh boy.

[Bobby Bones]

And then. So did you say, oh, sorry, normally doctors wear white coats?

[Jon Stewart]

No, no, I didn't say all that. I said, I'm sorry about that.

[Minnie Driver]

I'm sorry.

[Jon Stewart]

Oh, yeah, yeah, of course. And I left.

[Minnie Driver]

Did you know. And this is something maybe you don't know. So apologies if you did. Did you know that women can be doctors?

[Jon Stewart]

Yes, I knew that. She was not wearing doctor attire.

[Minnie Driver]

Making sure. Making sure. And that's another edition of Bad Story.

[Jon Stewart]

Good Story. Oh my goodness.

[Minnie Driver]

Your good story kind of sucked cuz it was heavily overshadowed.

[Jon Stewart]

Was that the good story?

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah, his.

[Lunchbox]

You.

[Minnie Driver]

You brought him lunch.

[Bobby Bones]

A good one from the other day.

[Minnie Driver]

[Minnie Driver]

Problem?

[Tisha Allen]

My oldest daughter, her first day in ninth grade and I called to ask.

[Lunchbox]

How I was doing.

[Morgan Number Two]

Speaking of the guys, Bobby, Eddie and lunchbox all had 911 type situations where they either needed to call 911 or they thought this is a 911 situation where most people would call. So listen for yourself. Decide what you might do in these scenarios.

[Minnie Driver]

Number four, Lunchbox loves to call 91 1. So what happened this time? Did you actually call 91 1?

[Lunchbox]

I will give you the verdict after I get your opinion. I want to know if it's 911 worthy.

[Minnie Driver]

Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

So it was a. It was Saturday. The snow is on the ground and all the kids are playing in the front yard. Neighbor kids are over there. So there's probably like 10 kids running around out playing in the snow. And this white truck with a tan camper drives by and they have like a professional grade camera sticking out the passenger side and they're just snapping photos of the kids in the snow. It was two dudes in a truck snapping pictures of kids in the snow.

[Minnie Driver]

Can you describe the truck again?

[Lunchbox]

It's a white kind of beat up work truck with a tan camper shell over the back. Didn't even match the, you know, truck, like white on white. It was tan on white. And this, I mean, it was like, you know, those ones on the sidelines of NFL games with the long lenses.

[Minnie Driver]

So did they stop?

[Lunchbox]

No, they were just going about three miles an hour, just slowly taking pictures of the kids in the snow.

[Minnie Driver]

Was it only your kids or did they just continue to take pictures? They drove down the road, they hit.

[Lunchbox]

The stop sign a couple houses down and took a left. So I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

That is weird.

[Jon Stewart]

That is weird.

[Lunchbox]

So is that 911 worthy?

[Minnie Driver]

Did they come back again? No, I would say it is not 911 worthy because they were not doing anything illegal. But what it is, it's worthy of paying attention to see if they come back again. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Or worthy of a. Can you run their license plates?

[Minnie Driver]

Well, I don't think he got it. Oh, and I think it's funny, he was like, not white on white beat up, white on tan beat up. Because that's a whole difference.

[Lunchbox]

Well, here's the thing.

[Minnie Driver]

That's a whole different creepy.

[Lunchbox]

It is creepy when the camper doesn't match the truck.

[Minnie Driver]

No one is.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, why?

[Minnie Driver]

I don't understand. We had a lot of campers didn't match the truck. Regardless, I'm not gonna go down that. But I think it can be weird and I think if it was weird again, then you probably called. But they're not doing anything illegal because you can be on the road and take pictures of things.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Minnie Driver]

So I'm gonna go no on 91 1. Amy?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. No, on 91 1.

[Minnie Driver]

We all think it's weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Definitely weird.

[Jon Stewart]

Creepy.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It, it's alarming concerning it paying attention.

[Minnie Driver]

And the kids were just doing normal kid things. So there's nothing illegal about taking pictures of kids in a front yard playing. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like if they started to lure the kids then.

[Minnie Driver]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Call 911.

[Minnie Driver]

Well, at the camper was, was white on white. They'd have been all good.

[Bobby Bones]

This is a non issue if it's white on white.

[Minnie Driver]

Eddie.

[Jon Stewart]

No, I, I mean I wouldn't call 911, but definitely creepy. And keep an eye out.

[Minnie Driver]

What did you do?

[Lunchbox]

I grabbed the phone, I said license plate K67. Who got the other digits? Who got the other digits? My wife's like, why? And I was like, I'm calling the cops. She goes, why are you going to call the cops? There's no need to call the cops. They just took pictures. The kids weren't doing anything. So I didn't call the cops.

[Minnie Driver]

But you were going to. I was going to.

[Lunchbox]

I had K67.

[Jon Stewart]

I mean that's RK needs.

[Minnie Driver]

Right. So are you looking out for a K67?

[Jon Stewart]

Yes.

[Minnie Driver]

White beat up truck, different color. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Tan top with a big nice camera sticking out the passenger window. Two dudes taking pictures. It's so weird.

[Minnie Driver]

We're not saying it's not weird, but because it's weird doesn't mean it's illegal. Eddie almost had to call the cops.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh gosh.

[Minnie Driver]

So what, what did you see?

[Jon Stewart]

It's just weird that he's telling this story. I had the same kind of story, but this was a few weeks ago and it's just been weighing on me. So I was going to the grocery store like at 10:30, 11:00 at night, and I drove past one of those car washes where you just kind of drive through and you do your own.

[Minnie Driver]

Car wash. Yeah, self serve kind of.

[Jon Stewart]

Car wash. And I saw two guys in a hoodie at 11pm at night washing their car.

[Minnie Driver]

Oh, okay.

[Jon Stewart]

And I'm like, whatever is happening there.

[Minnie Driver]

What'S wrong with that?

[Bobby Bones]

Because they're trying to wash off evidence.

[Jon Stewart]

Correct.

[Minnie Driver]

Or they're just washing their car at 11 o'clock. They just drove through some dirt or mud and they have a nice car.

[Lunchbox]

No one watches their car at 11 o'clock at night.

[Minnie Driver]

Okay, let me ask you this and you be honest.

[Jon Stewart]

Yes.

[Minnie Driver]

What race were they?

[Jon Stewart]

Oh, I can't tell. They had hoodies on.

[Minnie Driver]

Okay, Couldn't tell because if you'd have said your own race, you'd have been on that show. I hate my race.

[Jon Stewart]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but what else? That's it.

[Jon Stewart]

Well, that's it.

[Minnie Driver]

Oh, oh, wait.

[Jon Stewart]

And I didn't do anything. And I'm thinking like, I thought it was like.

[Bobby Bones]

And then I saw.

[Minnie Driver]

Did they have a camper shell and it was a different color?

[Jon Stewart]

Oh my gosh. Now that I think about it, no, they did not. They did not.

[Minnie Driver]

Dude, that's a dumb. That's even dumber than lunchbox.

[Jon Stewart]

What are you talking about?

[Bobby Bones]

I kind of thought he was going to say he saw like crimson colored water streaming down like blood coming out of the car.

[Jon Stewart]

Yeah, I wasn't that close. Maybe if I got close I would.

[Minnie Driver]

Somebody like trying to get out the back seat. Like, you saw nothing except two people. It's cold outside.

[Jon Stewart]

No reason to be washing your car at 11 o'clock.

[Bobby Bones]

You were going to call the police to say that someone was washing their.

[Jon Stewart]

Car in case there is like, you know what? We've been looking for this car. These are the murderers.

[Minnie Driver]

11 o'clock washers. Oh, no.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Like, what if they don't know the crime happened and they, but they, they did.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, but they have hood ons because it's cold.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, but 11:00. No, 11:00 at night is raising eyebrows. And so they just came from the, whatever crime scene.

[Minnie Driver]

What if you have a job where you don't get off work until 10pm what if.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Jon Stewart]

That's a great.

[Minnie Driver]

What if you have all day to.

[Lunchbox]

Wash your car during the day?

[Bobby Bones]

What if they hit a deer and they needed to just wash a deer?

[Jon Stewart]

I've heard that story before.

[Minnie Driver]

It's dumb. I have to say I did call 911 recently.

[Lunchbox]

You did see this, what I'm talking.

[Bobby Bones]

About because of the, the drone.

[Minnie Driver]

No, no, not call for drones. I'm going to take care of that myself. I'm gonna do a little vigilante on that crap.

[Lunchbox]

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Minnie Driver]

I've waited for a while because I don't. Just because I don't want anybody to like. No, it's Been a while.

[Jon Stewart]

You saw someone at car wash?

[Minnie Driver]

No, I've been holding all this. Well, it was 11:30 at a car wash, and they had a camper show. There's a power line. We heard pop. I was like, what? And our power went off. And I look over, and there's like a fire right up on the fence of our. Our house, like, on the side between our neighbors. It's like a. So a power line had hit, had busted hit, and was still alive.

[Jon Stewart]

That's scary.

[Minnie Driver]

And So I called 911, and I felt I was doing nothing wrong. They sent. Somebody immediately blocked the road with a fire truck. Oh. And like, I was over there, like, trying to help them, like you, and they're like, we got this, man.

[Jon Stewart]

You'd, like, stay in your house.

[Minnie Driver]

They're like, we're good. And I'm like, well, if you need anything else, I'm inside. So there's no real story, like, debating. But I never called 911, and even in that instance, I was scared that they were gonna arrest me.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no.

[Minnie Driver]

Really? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Didn't it feel good?

[Minnie Driver]

No, I hate it. I'm like, nine. Two more numbers. One. If I push this number, I'm committed. One. And then I was like, power line busted. Fell. It's in our yard. And they came, shut it. Shut the whole thing down. Sent the people out, redid it all. Like, two hours it was up and running.

[Jon Stewart]

What busted the line, do you know?

[Minnie Driver]

Nothing.

[Jon Stewart]

You didn't follow up with anyone?

[Minnie Driver]

Didn't care.

[Jon Stewart]

Okay.

[Minnie Driver]

They were too busy chasing a guy. Two guys in a hoodie watching their.

[Jon Stewart]

Car to land like that. Exactly.

[Martin Luther King III]

It's the best bits of the week.

[Minnie Driver]

With Morgan number two.

[Morgan Number Two]

Dan and Shay stopped by the studio to talk about their song Bigger Houses. Not only that, we also talked coffee, sourdough, and the hit songs of theirs that they kind of disagreed on when they were thinking what should go to country radio. It's funny stories in there. Oh, and Che, he performed some public domain songs that you will actually get to hear. So get excited, because a performance is.

[Minnie Driver]

On the podcast number three on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Dan and Shay, you guys walked in with their Starbucks. At least Shay did. Shay, what's your Starbucks drink?

[Amy]

That's just black coffee.

[Minnie Driver]

No way. Cowboy coffee.

[Amy]

I'm not, you know, trying to be too manly to be like, you know, I don't enjoy a latte. I mean, it tastes really good, but I've been eating no sugar for, like, the last 30 days, so I'm on that black. The cowboy Coffee game.

[Minnie Driver]

I'm gonna say that. And really, for me, it's just a cup of whipped cream. And I'll be like, nah, black coffee. That's it.

[Martin Luther King III]

Is that your vibe?

[Minnie Driver]

So my actual vibe, because I have a drink over here as well, is I drink, like, a tea, a chai tea. But I don't. I hate coffee. But I always say to my wife, let me get my coffee. And she's like, it's not coffee. Don't be annoying. But I always say, it's a coffee. What is yours, Dan?

[Martin Luther King III]

I feel like that's the American version of what that is, though. It's like, let's. Let's meet up for coffee, even if you're just having an avocado toast. You know what I'm saying? Like, when you're in Europe, avocado toast is a gym.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Martin Luther King III]

I'm black coffee guy.

[Minnie Driver]

You're black coffee today.

[Martin Luther King III]

I'm like, like, religious about the pour over and the whole deal. And it's a whole.

[Bobby Bones]

How long does it take you to make your morning coffee?

[Martin Luther King III]

This is bad, Amy. I actually calculated this because I make one for myself and I make one for Abby, and It's probably like, 30 to 40 minutes all. All in because it's a slow drip. You know, I gotta clean out the V60 thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Martin Luther King III]

In the course of a year, it's several, like, weeks of my time, which is probably not a great situation. You know what I mean? You calculate it per day.

[Bobby Bones]

It is therapeutic. I'm sure.

[Minnie Driver]

Who knew they were so metal? Like, they both come in, they're singing. Big houses like black coffee we like a black coffee and a fist fight every morning.

[Martin Luther King III]

Did you not tell from my turtleneck here? Bobby, come on, dude.

[Amy]

By the way, your coffee is way different than mine. Like, I had one of Dan's coffees one time, and it's legitimately the strongest coffee I've ever had. Mom, I was up for, like, three weeks. I mean, it is strong.

[Martin Luther King III]

I'm maniacal about it, though. It's like, you get 20 grams of coffee, 16 to 1, ratio water to coffee beans, you're rolling. You know what I mean?

[Minnie Driver]

It's math. You measure it.

[Martin Luther King III]

Yeah, I measure it every day. Here's. Well, my scale, though, is running out of batteries quicker than it used to, too, because Abby has gotten into sourdough.

[Minnie Driver]

Oh, my wife, too. Same thing. It's a whole. Did she make the thing? Did she create the living organism?

[Martin Luther King III]

She probably got it from my mother.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah, that's what it is.

[Martin Luther King III]

Yeah, it's called mother, I think.

[Tisha Allen]

Right?

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Minnie Driver]

No. Yeah.

[Martin Luther King III]

Abby dropped it off for Caitlyn or vice versa. I'm not sure where. Where it came from, but it's apparently been living for like 25 years.

[Minnie Driver]

It's wild starter Caitlyn got. The first one's like 80 years old. It's like, Amy, you have to lend something to this because we don't know what we're talking about.

[Amy]

We don't know.

[Minnie Driver]

Well, that's how it happens.

[Amy]

It can be really old, right?

[Jon Stewart]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

A lot of friends start it. Like, you need your starter and yes, you'll e get it from a friend or you can order it.

[Minnie Driver]

It was literally 80 years old.

[Bobby Bones]

It multiplies. So, yes. That particular starter, if you go back to the origin or the root of it, it's from when it was for bread.

[Minnie Driver]

For sourdough bread.

[Martin Luther King III]

Are you on the sourdough train?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I want to be.

[Tisha Allen]

Yeah.

[Minnie Driver]

I mean, tickets are free.

[Amy]

Tickets are free.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but I just have to kind of like make the move.

[Amy]

I thought my friend was messing with me when they told me, like, that his wife had gotten into making sourdough and that they had had something from their grandparents and it was like 90 years old. And I was like, like, can't be 90 years old. But now, you know, you learn something new every day.

[Minnie Driver]

That's terrifying. By the way, on ebay, you can buy a 100 year old starter for like 12 bucks.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it authenticated?

[Martin Luther King III]

Wow.

[Tisha Allen]

Right?

[Minnie Driver]

I don't know, dude. I don't know. If they send it to PSA to authenticate it.

[Amy]

There's no way to prove it. It's like when someone says a random fact, like, yeah, there's actually 4 billion different kinds of beetles. I can't check that.

[Minnie Driver]

Beetles. Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, how am I supposed to know? That's not like, I feel like you're lying to me.

[Martin Luther King III]

I feel like it creates a lot of work, though. She's always doing something with it. You know what I mean? It's amazing. I love it. The discard. You make the crackers. It's a whole.

[Minnie Driver]

Dude, you spend an hour doing coffee every morning, you're not gonna hate on how long it take. That's really. That's true.

[Bobby Bones]

And if she's using the discard to make crackers or cookies or whatever, that's being resourceful.

[Martin Luther King III]

100%. 100%.

[Minnie Driver]

Okay. Dan and Shay are here. They do music, everybody, which is cool. They do music. Yeah.

[Amy]

That's not why we're here today. We'd like to talk to you about Sourdough.

[Minnie Driver]

So first, let's. We're going to play Bigger Houses, about to be number one. Congratulations again. Next one up, it almost feels like the Alabama football program. Next one up. Next one up, another five star.

[Martin Luther King III]

Which Alabama football program are we talking about?

[Minnie Driver]

Listen, you know, historical or Georgia or whomever. Give me the story of Bigger House. It's like, tell me something personal about it and then we'll play and come back.

[Martin Luther King III]

Well, pre Sourdough obsession. I love my wife. I love you, Abby. She's probably listening right now. The Sourdough is amazing, by the way. Okay, so this song came about. We had kind of finished up this album. You know, we were super proud of it. We were right. And we were trying to figure out what the title of the album was. Always say this. This is how Speechless came about. At the 11th hour, you think you're done, you turn it in. It's like, well, we still don't have a title. So we kept. You know, we kept writing songs. We went in to write that day, and our buddy Andy Albert. I gotta give a shout out to Andy Albert. We've probably shouted him out on the show a million times. I moved to Nashville with Andy in 2010. We were struggling, camping out behind Little Caesars, eating the pizza out of the dumpster, doing the thing, sneaking into the continental breakfast at the Hampton Inn on West End. Got all the stories. But he's just a great songwriter, a great friend. He was in my wedding, and we were writing that day, and he had just bought a new house, right? He's had a little bit of success, had a few number ones on country radio, and we'd been struggling at it for 10 years, right? And he was like, man, I got this idea. And when Andy says he has an idea, he's honestly, I think he's the best songwriter in this town. And everybody's gonna realize that really, really soon. But when he has an idea, it's like, you listen. You know, it's gonna be good. He's like, I hope this isn't weird, But Abby was over the house. You know, him and his wife had just bought this new house. He just had a new kid, and he should have been so proud of this house. It's amazing. Like, he freaking paid for a house from writing country music songs like what we dreamed about since we moved to this town. And you know, you know how it is when somebody comes over your house, you're making apologies. Oh, we're gonna wallpaper this bathroom, or we're gonna rip this tile out or, you know, we're gonna change the sink. And Abby stopped them and was like, guys, like, you don't need to apologize for any of this stuff. This is amazing. You should be so proud of this house. You guys have worked so hard to get to this point in your life. Just enjoy it. I know we all get caught up in going on Redfin or Zillow and. And talking about bigger houses and what's next. And Andy stopped right there and he wrote Bigger Houses in his phone. And I kind of get emotional talking about it. Man, it's a special song to us. And he came into that session that day and he kind of had the whole thing done. He said, I got this line, apologize if it's weird, but it came from Abby. And he said, the thing about. Thing about happiness I've found is that don't live in bigger houses. And at that point, song was done that. That hook right there says it all. The rest was just paint by numbers filling in the blanks. And, man, that's such a special song to us, you know, it's an. Honestly, an unconventional song to take to country radio. Thank you guys for playing it. Thanks to all the stations that did. There's no drums in it. I don't know when the last time a song without drums got to this point on.

[Minnie Driver]

I never noticed that. I've heard the song a ton. I never noticed there were no drums, which meant I never noticed it was lacking something.

[Martin Luther King III]

That's a good sign. And honestly, you. You identified this song. I sent you the album early, and this was one of your favorites. You hit me back on this. Save me the trouble. And there was maybe one other one, but this is one of your favorites. I have the text to prove it.

[Minnie Driver]

This is all your couple I hated. No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

[Martin Luther King III]

Same with everybody else. But no, honest, like, for a song like this that means so much to us, that has meant a lot to our fans. To get to this point on the chart, to have an opportunity to go number one, is a testament to just the power of a great song. And that's. It reminds us why we got into this business, why we write country music, why we love country music, and. And honestly, I remember the day we decided to make it a single. We were sitting in la, we were filming the Voice, and we were talking about, you know, after Save Me the Trouble went number one, what's going to be the next single? What are we doing? Do we go up tempo do we? It's summertime, and somebody, like, called into a radio station. There was a video of it, and it was a lady just talking. She was, like, almost in tears talking, you know, about her grandson. And he heard that song, and, you know, it was just this emotional story. And I was like, man, it's crazy how much people are connecting with this song. I was like, it would be crazy if that could be a single. And Shay's like, why can't it be a single? And I. We were hanging. We maybe had a few drinks or something up on that patio. And I think I filmed you saying it just, like, this song. Like, let's take a chance on it. You know what I mean? At this point in our career, got nothing to lose. Like, let's go with a song that means a lot to us. If it's meaning a lot to our fans. When the power of country radio gets behind it, it's gonna be a whole different thing. And, man, to see it at this point on the chart means a lot to us, to our families, to. To Andy, to our relationship, to our friendship. And, I don't know, man, just a special song that'll, you know, always hold a special place in our hearts.

[Minnie Driver]

You guys have been doing it for a long time, even though you're still very young. How do you not do the same thing again when you've had success doing it already? Because I feel like the easy thing would be, let's just do what we did last time. It was awesome. Because again, you could keep doing the exact same thing over and over and over and have massive success until you don't. But you guys haven't done that. Like, how do you avoid that?

[Amy]

I think a lot of times a solo act, it's harder for you to veer off and maybe try something new. Not to say that that's true for all solo acts, but I feel like for Dan and I, it's. It's a lot easier for us to really collaborate. You know, in those moments where we're writing the album and things, we're able to push each other to try and, you know, kind of different, not definite. You know, we want to do the same kind of music. We will always want to be Dan and Shea. You can't go off and just, you know, abandon what got you there in the first place. But I think that, you know, just, like, going with bigger houses as a single, you know, one of us can be like, hey, why not? Let's just do this. Let's do what we want to do. And make sure that we're making the art that we want to make. And I don't know, it just. It's kind of been that way throughout our career of just pushing each other of, hey, let's just do what we want to do, you know, what we know our fans are gonna love. And obviously throughout the years, I think that you learn things, you know, you tried things that you, you know, you push the boundaries a little bit. Sometimes it's like, alright, let's reel it back. We don't go that way. Let's go in this direction. Let's go in this direction. And I think that once you have your identity, we know who we are and we know who Dan and Shay, the brand that we've built. And I think it's important to push the boundaries while also still not abandoning what got you there in the first place, which is that first album for us. There was a lot of our super fans that were still. Some of their favorite songs are on that very first album. And appropriately, where it all began for us. And I don't know, I think it's important to push those boundaries, but also not abandon what got you there to begin with. And that can be a tightrope that is hard to walk, but it's a lot easier when there's two of us to be like, hey, let's push this, or let's kind of roll this back. And I don't know, that's part of the fun, is kind of pushing the boundaries a little bit. I think we're able to do that and have the confidence to do that. Since there's two of us being our own cheerleaders, let's play this game.

[Minnie Driver]

What's something that maybe you were like, I don't know, but the other one. And I'd like an answer from both of you. The other was like, I believe in it. And you're like, alright, fine. I don't know that I do, but let's go. And end up being a success. So what. What did you go? I don't. Because you told the story. Bigger houses where Shay was like, why can't it be? I'm not gonna let that be an answer, but one you're an advocate and the other one's not. And the one who was not was wrong because it was successful.

[Martin Luther King III]

I wouldn't say I wasn't an advocate, but I. After Tequila, right? Biggest song of our career, trying to figure out what we go with next. And we had a song on that record called Keeping Score that was streaming like Crazy Kelly Clarkson was on it. You know, one of the most famous, most incredible vocalists of all time. Like, the biggest get we could get as a feature. Getting to hear her sing a duet with Shay was unbelievable. That was kind of my vote for the next single. I was like, it could, you know, go number one at country crossover to hot ac. Do the thing. Like, you know, because Tequila was crossing over at that time, and Shay was like, I. You know, Speechless, I think, is the one. Like, I think it's amazing. I love singing it. That was always his thing. If. If he loves singing it, that's always a good sign. He loves singing Tequila, love singing bigger houses, and he loves singing Speechless. And I love the song. I thought, you know, it could be a hit, but I was like, ah, you know, we. We got this Kelly Clarkson thing on here. How are we gonna leave this on the table? There was. This show is in Rapid City, Iowa, or. No, I think it was Rapid City, Iowa. It was during our album release week. It was a crazy show. Brett Eldridge was on the show. I was wearing a crazy pink and green floral shirt. I remember it like it was yesterday. We went on stage. This song had been out for, like, three days. And we played Speechless, and somebody was on the side of the stage filming with their phone, and the crowd sang it like crazy. When that chorus hit, I looked over at Shay. I was like, that's a single. That's it. But he was super passionate about that song, and he was right.

[Minnie Driver]

Good. That's a good story. Yeah, like, that's the kind of stuff we have them here for. That's a good one. All right. No, that's a good story. Shay, you do one.

[Amy]

Okay, well, there's a song called Tequila. Oh, man, I don't know.

[Minnie Driver]

I mean, there's like, how was Dan so right? And maybe you weren't wrong because again, keep it More was an awesome song. I loved it too. And that would have been a hit. But I think you made the right decision because Speechless is what you guys will be known for.

[Martin Luther King III]

All Timer, I think it's in our top three in our catalog. It's. It's a special song. It's. It's. It's not timestamped by a moment in time. That song could have came out in the 70s. That song could come out today, and I feel like it would still sound fresh.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Minnie Driver]

So you. You tell me, when were you not right?

[Amy]

Oh, man. I've never been wrong, Bobby.

[Minnie Driver]

It's crazy. All right, thank you guys for coming.

[Amy]

No, I mean, you know, there's been some situations like Speechless was like, you know, I usually. I try to sit back and, you know, take the collective of the groove. We have such a, you know, great team. And Dan and I are usually on the same page about everything. I mean, even, you know, Speechless, he was not against the song ever. But there's been moments where I've been like, this has got to be the single. We've got to do this. I felt that way about Tequila, as did Dan, but I felt that way about Tequila as well. And I remember there's a lot of people not to throw, like, our label and everybody under the bus, but it was like that with Tequila. You know, we had pushed a song called Road Trippin that was. That was definitely. It was definitely a hit. So don't look at it.

[Martin Luther King III]

It's Eddie's favorite, showing that tattoo.

[Amy]

But it was like that Dan and I were very much. I was like. Because Dan had written the song, and from the very first time I heard that demo, I was like, we're going in there and we're recording the song.

[Minnie Driver]

Which one?

[Amy]

It's Tequila. And I remember being in London and our, you know, a lot of people, you know, around. Around the label were like, that. We can't. You know, we just, you know, had this song. It wasn't necessarily a failure. Like, our fans loved Road Tripping, but it was like it was gonna take a long time to. To push the song to number one. And we were kind of getting into. It was wintertime, you know, we had the Christmas break coming up, and I was just like, we. We've got to push this song. Like, this song is this. Is it. Like, I felt as strongly about the Tequila as I did Speechless. Those songs were like.

[Minnie Driver]

But you're talking about how right you are again, you've turned this into how.

[Amy]

Shit is right, you know? That's what the segment's called, is it not?

[Minnie Driver]

No, you're supposed to be wrong in your part.

[Amy]

I'm trying to think of something.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that does make me curious why they didn't. Why were they wrong? Like, why. Why were they not on board?

[Minnie Driver]

Oh, that's easy. They're idiots.

[Bobby Bones]

But I wondered if they gave you that reason of, like. Yep. Because it's winter and, like, Tequila or. I have no idea.

[Martin Luther King III]

No, Maybe it's too much inside baseball, but, yeah, that factors into it. The seasonal thing. Is it winter? Is it? You know, and at radio, you always want to have tempo. Like, tempo, I feel like always gives you the best shot. But if you look at it historically, sometimes the ballads are the biggest risk, but they have the biggest reward, like for in our career. From the ground up. Speechless Tequila. Those are all, you know, what people would say. Ballads. I don't know. We could come out with 120bpm song. There's going to be somebody out there.

[Minnie Driver]

Still says it's a ballad.

[Martin Luther King III]

Ah, we can't get to it this week. You know, we've got too many ballads. I'm like, this song is. Is punk rock song.

[Minnie Driver]

Fastest song we have, man. Well, everybody. Shay.

[Jon Stewart]

Perfect.

[Amy]

Listen, you should ask Dan because you think I. I can't. I'm. I'm trying to think of. I usually listen to Dan. Here's the reason I haven't been, you know, wrong with singles, because I. I trust him implicitly. And, you know, most of the singles, it's. We're like right there. And so I really should say Dan and I have never been wrong. You know what I mean?

[Martin Luther King III]

Except road tripping. I mean.

[Minnie Driver]

When we do our podcast, we can't put any music in the podcast because now if you put something on demand in a podcast, it's illegal. It makes total sense. But we can't put even a clip of a song in a podcast now unless it is a public domain song. So public domain would be songs that are like 100 years old.

[Amy]

And without further ado, this is happy birthday.

[Minnie Driver]

That's exactly it. Right. So I have a few. Because we have a really large podcast audience, like millions and millions.

[Martin Luther King III]

I listen to every episode.

[Minnie Driver]

You're lying. But thank you very much. I swear I do. I watch you in your window. So here's the thing.

[Martin Luther King III]

Cooking sourdough.

[Minnie Driver]

I will give you. Shay. If I give you a public domain song for our podcast listeners, radio's gonna hear this too. Would you mind? I don't know if you're loose or not.

[Amy]

I'll give him a little something.

[Minnie Driver]

Thank you very much.

[Amy]

I'll give him a little something.

[Minnie Driver]

Would you. How about a little hush little baby? Public domain can be sang for free.

[Amy]

Oh, nice.

[Minnie Driver]

Yes. Would you mind giving us 15, 22nd hush little baby? Oh, he's standing.

[Amy]

Bobby, I've been waiting my whole life for this. I actually, I was practicing this this morning.

[Martin Luther King III]

He's gonna perform it to me as.

[Amy]

Well, which, you know, I'm trying to make sure I know the words. This. I might screw this up.

[Minnie Driver]

I don't know.

[Amy]

All right. Hush little baby, don't say a word Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird and if that mockingbird don't Sing. That's all right. Cause Dana Shay is here to do.

[Tisha Allen]

It for you, baby.

[Minnie Driver]

There we go. We like that. Thank you, guys. Bingo. B I N G O as done by Shea. Public domain. Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay. This is bi n G O.

[Jon Stewart]

B.

[Amy]

I N G O B I N G O B Go was his name.

[Minnie Driver]

All right, I think that's your.

[Bobby Bones]

That's your next single.

[Minnie Driver]

Sorry. It is actually, you know, our last freebie. A song we can do for free. Mary had a Little Lamb, as done by Dan and Shea. All right.

[Amy]

Okay. I feel like this is kind of the rendition of, like, our Silent Night. You know what I mean?

[Martin Luther King III]

Honestly, though, Mary Had a Little Lamb, like, it's not too far off from Danisha's sound. You know, Throwing it back is like the savage garden of country to the OG.

[Minnie Driver]

I haven't said that in 15 years. Give me a break. Give me a break.

[Martin Luther King III]

They're pretty good.

[Minnie Driver]

I love Savage Garden. Give me a break. Come on.

[Amy]

All right, let's see here.

[Minnie Driver]

Mary.

[Martin Luther King III]

We started too high.

[Tisha Allen]

All right, here we go.

[Amy]

Mary had.

[Minnie Driver]

Dang.

[Amy]

This is harder than I thought it was going to be. Mary had a little lamb. What's the rest of the word?

[Minnie Driver]

Little lamb, little lamb. Mary had a little lamb.

[Amy]

Oh, that's. I was doing the wrong. I was doing the wrong melody.

[Minnie Driver]

What were you doing?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Minnie Driver]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Mary had a little lamb Lamb, little lamb.

[Minnie Driver]

Oh, no, no, not everybody.

[Amy]

Mary had a little lamb Whose coat was white as snow Everybody now. Mary had a little lamb.

[Minnie Driver]

Bobby.

[Amy]

Horrible little lamb. Mary had a little lamb. Who.

[Minnie Driver]

Snow that? Dan and Shay. Come on. That's for the podcast listeners.

[Amy]

Thank you guys so much.

[Minnie Driver]

I wonder what you were doing.

[Amy]

At first, I don't know, but I.

[Minnie Driver]

It was.

[Amy]

It sounded familiar, didn't it?

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah. Like, I was like, is he doing Row, row, row your boat? I didn't know what it was, but it was something. You're in a pocket.

[Amy]

I'll tell you this. It was another public domain that hasn't been written yet.

[Martin Luther King III]

You know, I checked back in 200.

[Amy]

Years, thinking, you know, Dan and I have been having a discussion about this for our next album is going to be all. All public domain songs, actually. There's not enough of them.

[Minnie Driver]

I mean, Christmas songs. And you guys are smart because you do originals, but also you can record the classics for free.

[Martin Luther King III]

It's unbelievable.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah, yeah.

[Martin Luther King III]

It's great.

[Minnie Driver]

And make the money.

[Bobby Bones]

Weren't you doing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star?

[Amy]

That's what it was, Amy.

[Jon Stewart]

Twinkle, twinkle.

[Minnie Driver]

Now we're Singing Mary had a little.

[Martin Luther King III]

Lamb Morgan Law had an interpolation.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah.

[Martin Luther King III]

Neon Star, written by Ernest. It's sick.

[Minnie Driver]

How does Twinkle go, though?

[Amy]

Twinkle, twinkle. Let me sing it for you, Bobby. Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

[Minnie Driver]

Got it.

[Amy]

How I wonder what you are up above the neon signs.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it. It's Twinkle, twinkle a little Star. Public domain.

[Minnie Driver]

It is. Sure is.

[Amy]

Bing, bang, boom.

[Minnie Driver]

They kick the door in right now and arrest Dan and shit. You must pay. What do you guys do? Are you going on the road? What's up? We doing you doing shows this year? What's it. What's the deal?

[Martin Luther King III]

We're in the studio making new music, so.

[Minnie Driver]

Okay. So right now, no, we're not doing shows.

[Martin Luther King III]

Chilling on shows for a minute. We played a lot of shows last year. We knows amphitheaters, did the whole thing. We're in the studio, man. We're. I always say this, but I feel like we owe it to radio. We owe it to our fans to really focus and make the best album that we can.

[Minnie Driver]

So. Yeah. What's that mean in the studio? Like, literally, like, what does it mean? You go, right, like, you're recording the stuff you've already written, you're demoing.

[Martin Luther King III]

That's a good question. Because I feel like usually when you say you're in the studio, it's like, we're going ocean way. We've got three days booked. We've got triples. We've got the session players booked. We're kind of just writing right now, figured out what the next thing is gonna be in the studio, like, properly in the studio soon.

[Minnie Driver]

Not fakely, not fake.

[Martin Luther King III]

Shane's got a baby on the way, too.

[Amy]

Dude got another baby. I've been trying to figure out. Well, there I was, singing some public domain songs in my bedroom.

[Martin Luther King III]

That's how it always goes.

[Amy]

And that's how it started. You know, my wife, she's a big public domain.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

She's a big public domain fan.

[Minnie Driver]

You ever seen them on tour? Public domain. They rock rocks. It's our new band, guys. Congratulations again. It's really cool to just watch the sustained success as it does and as your sound does. It's never the same, but you still remain. Dan and Shay. Like, there's a consistency about it, but it's like you guys are always growing. Even this record, there was much more. It felt like instrumentation that you could actually identify. I felt like that. So I'm looking forward to seeing what's next. We love you guys. You guys can follow Anandshay. We'll play bigger houses a hundred times and you don't need our help. But you know, why not?

[Martin Luther King III]

I don't understand, man. We got them this Christmas present. They were walkie talkies is for the kids to go around the neighborhood, talk. And it's all fun, right? They loved it. They played for. They played with them for like two days. And then I heard them like talking, but not to each other. They were talking to like someone else on the walkie talkie and I'm like, what is happening? Happening?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Jon Stewart]

So I investigated. Turns out that these things are so good now. They talk to truckers and. And they were like, 10, 4, 10, 4, over and out. Who's farting out there? And I'm like, what is happening? And these truckers would be like, yeah, who is it out there? What are you? How old are you, kid? You five years old? What's going on here? I'm like, I took them away right away.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's weird.

[Minnie Driver]

Well, it's not like the truckers are hitting him up on dm, but still.

[Jon Stewart]

The fact that they can talk to truckers or they can even hear their conversations. Truckers talk about lot lizards and stuff and you don't want that.

[Minnie Driver]

Did you hear that or are you just going by?

[Jon Stewart]

No, I didn't hear that.

[Minnie Driver]

Okay, so what I'm guessing is, by the way, if it had been different if the truckers were like sliding into the DMs being like, hey, kid, let's talk.

[Jon Stewart]

Right?

[Minnie Driver]

But for some, imagine as someone who, you know, has their cdl, has driven a little truck myself. You get on the open road, you get bored. Imagine like an old lady or a kid comes on or somebody that's a. That's fun. You're like, hey, what's up, kid? You're not really pervin out. I'm not saying you shouldn't take them away, but I think you're. It's different if your kid's going at it than if they're coming at your kid.

[Jon Stewart]

I mean, the kids were having fun with it, but that's what kind of worried about like, well, what if the truckers like, where you at, kid? What's your okay?

[Minnie Driver]

But you're doing a lot of what if this happens. But your kids are the one that started it.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, but that's what you have to do too. When you're a parent though, you have to think through the what ifs.

[Minnie Driver]

But it's a walkie talkie, so they can have nothing. Do they have a phone?

[Jon Stewart]

Well, not the little ones.

[Minnie Driver]

16 year old does that, right?

[Jon Stewart]

Yeah, but he wasn't part of it. It's the little ones.

[Minnie Driver]

You have to watch out. But you can let them have the walkie talkie. But just say, don't talk to truckers. So that's just the rule and they're gonna break it. That's hilarious.

[Jon Stewart]

They love talking to the truckers.

[Minnie Driver]

We had a CB when I was a kid. We got it like a yard sale. I talk truckers all the time. And they never once came to the house?

[Bobby Bones]

You felt safe?

[Minnie Driver]

Nobody ever came and trucked me, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Did they ask you?

[Minnie Driver]

Never once. Anything I learned, like, what's your 20? You know, where are you?

[Jon Stewart]

Yeah, see if I hear that though.

[Minnie Driver]

That's like part of life. Oh, no, they don't need to do that.

[Jon Stewart]

That's not good.

[Minnie Driver]

Amy, should it take the walkie talkies away?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I think that we can have the walkie talkies, but there needs to be some boundaries around them.

[Minnie Driver]

Lunchbox?

[Lunchbox]

No, dude, you talked to truckers when you were a kid. Let it go like it's the same thing. You're becoming a helicopter parent. They're having fun.

[Minnie Driver]

It is a good helicopter.

[Lunchbox]

And the guy's saying, hey, who's farting out there? That's funny. Like the. They're interacting with the kids. Isn't that what you want? Let them go out Explore. Use the walkie talkies. You're being a helicopter dad.

[Jon Stewart]

All right.

[Minnie Driver]

I think it is good to know so you can monitor it. All my truck driving buddies. Good dude. Salt of the air. Oh, yeah.

[Jon Stewart]

Good, good.

[Minnie Driver]

Guys, not. Not trying to get with kids, but they should know to never give their location and not to say their real name. And as long as they don't do that, let them screw with the truckers. Truckers think it's funny.

[Jon Stewart]

So have their own handle.

[Minnie Driver]

That's fun. Yeah, yeah.

[Jon Stewart]

Like their own little handle. No, they don't have one yet. They didn't have time. I took it away.

[Minnie Driver]

I think they can have it. Okay, vote, vote. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Minnie Driver]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Minnie Driver]

Yes. Yeah, I'm. Yes. Mike. Oh, yeah. My dad's a trucker.

[Jon Stewart]

Good guy.

[Minnie Driver]

What have you been talking to your dad? Mike's dad.

[Jon Stewart]

That's my dad.

[Minnie Driver]

All right. Give him back.

[Jon Stewart]

Okay.

[Martin Luther King III]

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

[Minnie Driver]

Number two.

[Morgan Number Two]

It was a really big announcement week for Kenny Chesnaugh. He shared that he is performing multiple shows at Sphere in Las Vegas and he's so excited. He stopped by the studio to talk all about the show and how he really hopes fans will come out and check this one out because it's so much different than his other shows. And plus, we also heard how he prepares for tour. If you've ever seen Kenny Chesney, he has such high energy shows and there's a lot of preparation that goes into those high energy shows.

[Minnie Driver]

Number one on the Bobby Bones show now, Kenny Chesney. Good to see you, buddy.

[Tisha Allen]

Good to see you too.

[Minnie Driver]

Sphere. I've seen it on TikTok. It looks pretty crazy because it's like. It's like, I don't know, you're in a show, not just watching a show, but that building is like. Have you been in it yet to see.

[Tisha Allen]

I've been in it, but I haven't seen anybody yet.

[Minnie Driver]

What do they show you when you, like do an open house?

[Tisha Allen]

Like when we. It was. We've known we were going to do this since last April, so we've been. We've been preparing for it kind of since then. But I went to see it. I just had to put my body in it to see it. And it was the most unbelievable, I mean, thing I've ever been inside. And they showed us a lot of. Some of. They showed us some of U2's show and they showed us some other things. And I had Bobby, I had my team there. I had, you know, some of the My promoters there and everybody that I've worked with for a long time. And I looked at my team when I saw this, and I went. I said, there's no way. We're not. Not doing this right. And it was just. It's just an opportunity for me to bring the audience that I've built over the years and into this environment where it's just as if we take the. We take what we've built musically and the audience, and we're all in a. Like a. A different state of consciousness almost. It's so all. It's all so immersive, and it's the. It's hard to describe, really.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah. I need to come to yours just because I've seen. I will watch a full TikTok song because you don't do a whole concert, but I'll watch you two. I've seen two or three artists that in Sphere, and I've even played golf outside of it and just watch it from the outside. Just to be eyeball, like, all that's crazy. It's like a whole new thing that I don't think I've ever experienced in any way at a concert. How long has your team been working on what you're gonna do? Visually, we've known.

[Tisha Allen]

I was. I was playing Jimmy Buffett's tribute show at the Hollywood bowl, and I was backstage in my dressing room, and Irving Azoff, who I've known a long time, he goes, you need to be the next one to play the sphere. And honestly, I didn't know what I was going to do in 2025 at that time, because we had yet to start our stadium tour in 2024, you know, but let me. Let me think about it. And then I went. It just felt like the. It just felt like the perfect thing to do next, you know, because I thought I might take a year off the road and work on music, and I still will do that. But we're going to be out there May, June, and probably the first week of July, hopefully. Right now we got 12 shows booked, and it just felt like the perfect next move for me and a way to take my audience neurologically down a different path. And I felt like that was really important.

[Minnie Driver]

Tickets go on sale on January 31st, and the dates start Thursday, May 22nd. So tickets, be sure to get them Friday. Kennychesney.com Some of the smaller 18,000 people is not small, but you play stadiums. But some of your smaller shows, but also visually bigger than anything that you've done because of the technology. There but have you ever done a resident?

[Tisha Allen]

Never, because I can't. I just realized they didn't answer your last question. I got off on something else. We've been working on this probably since there's only eight of those cameras that exist that, I mean, they shoot it in 36K. And so it's, we've been, you know, we've been creating content for our shows, whether it's an arena or stadium or an amphitheater, whatever, for a very long time. And I, when I first decided that, okay, we want to do this, I was really excited because we've got so much content to use. And then I was told, you can't use a frame of it because we had to reshoot everything. And so we've been working on it a long time. And it's good in a way because it forces us to have the show be very fresh, very new. And for the fans that have come to see us play for over the years, if they think they're going to see the same show, that mean there's just no way possible because it's like I said earlier, it's so immersive and we're all kind of in this consciousness together. I mean, it's just crazy. What, what it's like even with nothing on the video screen, like you walk in and you in the venue itself, you go, oh, wow, this is going to be really different. And so I'm excited about the opportunity and, and, but we've been working really hard on all the content.

[Minnie Driver]

Will you do hotel or Airbnb?

[Tisha Allen]

I don't know yet. We got to figure that out. Probably a hotel.

[Minnie Driver]

Exactly.

[Tisha Allen]

I would like to do, I would like to do a hotel that has a cold plunge. Plunge that's hard to find.

[Minnie Driver]

Okay, you gotta. I've done it. I've done a couple cold plunges. And do you know where to stay? No, no, but take your own.

[Tisha Allen]

I will, I do have one that we'll take.

[Minnie Driver]

You gotta help me with the cold plunge because I've done it and I just end up angry.

[Tisha Allen]

Really? That's, that's interesting because it's usually, I mean, how do you feel after you're angry though?

[Minnie Driver]

Warm again. So I've cold plunged and I have a couple friends. Dirks does it, Jake Owen does it. And he's like, let's, let's go. And we're gonna be in for two minutes or whatever the thing is. And it's like my nipples get hard.

[Tisha Allen]

Yeah.

[Minnie Driver]

And my, my, my skin gets cold. And then I walk out And I get warm, and then I'm just like, man, I could have spent that time, like, reading something, getting ready. Yeah, I understand, but what do I. What am I missing?

[Tisha Allen]

Well, you're missing. Well, what. What the ice does for me. I mean, it's. It's the best thing you can do. Do for inflammation in your body.

[Minnie Driver]

Okay.

[Tisha Allen]

The best thing you can do. It's the best antidepressant, best anti. Anxiety medicine you can take.

[Minnie Driver]

Inflammation. I totally understand, because I'll get into the cryo, Right? Yes. Which is a similar thing. And.

[Tisha Allen]

But I like the weight of the ice when I get in it. You know, for some reason, what you put out.

[Minnie Driver]

Oh, wait, like. Like there's actually ice in your cold plunge?

[Tisha Allen]

Oh, yeah.

[Minnie Driver]

Oh, we just have it jacked way down towards, like.

[Tisha Allen]

Oh, so you got like a. You. You got the. Yeah, yeah, I've got an ice.

[Minnie Driver]

One day you'll get rich. Hey. One day you'll get rich and you'll get you one of these. It's not a big deal. I didn't mean to hit you with that.

[Tisha Allen]

No, I imagine I'll need it.

[Minnie Driver]

So you cold plunge how many mornings a week?

[Tisha Allen]

Well, when I'm on the road, I do it every day I'm out there, but when I'm home, I do at least four or five days a week.

[Minnie Driver]

What time do you wake up in the morning? Just generally speaking.

[Tisha Allen]

Well, now it's different. Now it's around 5:30.

[Minnie Driver]

Why? You're. Why?

[Tisha Allen]

Because I'm in the gym around 7. 7. Doing it takes me a little bit to get there, so I've already started.

[Minnie Driver]

Hour and a half to get. What are you in Knoxville? Just work out here, dude. Work out in town.

[Tisha Allen]

I've got to get ready, you know, I've got to get mentally ready to go to the gym. You know, those guys kill me.

[Minnie Driver]

You have a trainer?

[Tisha Allen]

Yeah.

[Minnie Driver]

And what do you focus on?

[Tisha Allen]

I was there this morning just getting my lungs and my brain ready to go. You know, we do, like, it's been. That's been the thing every year. People ask me a lot. Well, why don't. You know when. Why don't you just go out? Instead of doing a really long tour, why don't you just go do sporadic dates? And I can't. Because you just can't go do sporadic dates the way that I do it. You got to train for it. And so that's been my. The treadmill, if you will, of my whole career. And so that starts in January every year for me, and I Go until I'm done. And this year I'll be done early, which is good. We'll be done probably around July, when usually I'm done around the end of August when we play in Foxborough. But this year we're just gonna play in one spot and we're going to invite everybody to come to Vegas and come to us.

[Minnie Driver]

Do you ever run on the treadmill while singing?

[Tisha Allen]

Yes.

[Minnie Driver]

Oh, tell me more about that.

[Tisha Allen]

Yeah, because that's part of the training for me and I've been doing it for years, like to the way we've done our stadium shows. Anyway, the Sphere show is going to be a little different because it's more. It's less about energy and more of an experience is what I'm seeing. In our rehearsals. We already done five rehearsals already. What's crazy is the reason we're doing that is because we have to kind of know. We don't have to 100% know what we're doing, but we have to kind of know so they can build it. And when it's done, when you hit the button to render all of it, it takes like a month and a half to render. It's so much information. So it's crazy, you know, so we've. We were forced to rehearse much earlier. So when I'm in training to do a stadium show or whatever, the first 20 or 30 minutes of my show is very intense. And along with doing cardio and along with doing everything else that I do to get my body ready to go do that, I have to get my lungs ready. And I. If I can run on the treadmill and sing at the same time, then I'm pretty ready to go.

[Minnie Driver]

People ever like, hey, Planet Fitness manager, that guy won't stop singing American Kids. We're trying to work out here. That never has, like, the weird guy singing American Kids over there. That happen ever?

[Bobby Bones]

Do you sing your own songs or do you sing other people's songs?

[Tisha Allen]

Well, no. Well, when I'm alone, when we know what we're gonna do in the show, I will. I'll have. It'll be synced into my playlist or whatever and I'll know what the first 30 minutes of our show is gonna be and I'll just crank it and run on the treadmill and try to sing along with. And try to get used to that neural pathway, if you will, of our show. It's crazy what you do to get ready, but. But that's one of the things that I do do.

[Minnie Driver]

That's what I do every morning before this show. I get on the treadmill and I do the whole show. So when I come in, I got the lungs to like knock it out, you know? I'm not used to seeing you in cold weather clothes.

[Tisha Allen]

Yeah, I'm not used to seeing me in cold weather clothes.

[Minnie Driver]

You walked in, didn't know it was you. You're flying on a beanie.

[Tisha Allen]

I know, right?

[Minnie Driver]

So mostly I feel like I see you here. Warm weather. Ish. Or sometimes I see you like coming out of a yoga place here.

[Tisha Allen]

Yeah, right.

[Minnie Driver]

You still yoga And I haven't done.

[Tisha Allen]

Hot yoga in a long time.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tisha Allen]

It's been a while.

[Minnie Driver]

I see. Walk out and be like, yeah, I didn't stop. Yeah, I don't want to bother you.

[Tisha Allen]

Yeah, yeah. Cold weather is. Is. I've. Like I said, I was forced to. We were forced to rehearse early. Usually we start rehearsals first of March, but now because of the sphere and everything we're doing, we're forced. So I was here. I've been here since January 2nd and kind of gotten mentally down this path.

[Minnie Driver]

Because usually you'd be somewhere warmer. I would be.

[Tisha Allen]

I would be somewhere a little warmer. Okay, right. But we're here and I'm excited about the opportunity, though.

[Minnie Driver]

Well, I don't think you're not. I think you're very excited or you wouldn't be here in a beanie in a flannel show.

[Tisha Allen]

No question.

[Minnie Driver]

So if you wake up that early, what time do you go to bed? I guess my question is, how regimented are you? What's the discipline?

[Tisha Allen]

I go to bed different every night. I mean, but my body clock is so. It just wakes me up around 5:30, no matter what time I go to bed. Sometimes I go to bed at 9 or 10 or 11. It just. Whatever. But it's. It's when I'm training, my body just wakes up.

[Minnie Driver]

Do you ever just go to dinner in a public place?

[Tisha Allen]

Of course. Yeah.

[Minnie Driver]

Well, you can't do. Of course. Because you're.

[Tisha Allen]

It's gotten hot.

[Minnie Driver]

Well, I.

[Tisha Allen]

It's gotten harder to go to dinner downtown.

[Minnie Driver]

Like, I would not go to Broadway if I were you. I would recommend.

[Tisha Allen]

No, I haven't been to Broadway in a long time.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah, but you can go and do you get a little curtain?

[Tisha Allen]

No, I mean, it just depends, you know, Or a room or. I think the last time that I the. That I went out to dinner here, it was after Megan won. Megan Morone won her CMA Award. They had a dinner for the next Night. And I went to that. You know, it was. It was great.

[Minnie Driver]

Dang. Do you let them know you might be there? Guess what? That's. My whole life. Would be that. I might show up, I might not. I might show up.

[Tisha Allen]

I might.

[Minnie Driver]

I might show up.

[Tisha Allen]

It depends.

[Minnie Driver]

That'd be my whole life.

[Tisha Allen]

No, I'm pretty good about going out.

[Minnie Driver]

Really? Yeah. You have friends?

[Tisha Allen]

A few. But especially, you know, if it's easy for me, if I. If I'm somewhere else, it's easy, you know, for me to go out.

[Minnie Driver]

But not here. It's not here.

[Tisha Allen]

It's a little. It's. It's pretty touristy here, you know.

[Minnie Driver]

You have a favorite NFL team?

[Tisha Allen]

Patriots. You know, I've played. I mean, I've. When I was a kid, there was a guy that. That played for Tennessee that was drafted by the Patriots, and his name was Stanley Morgan. He's one of my favorite Tennessee players. And that's when I first started following the Patriots, you know, and then one of my best. Like we were talking earlier, one of my best friends in the world is Sean Payton. And Sean's been to a lot of shows and. And when he got the New Orleans Saints coaching job, I bought a suite in the Superdome just as a way for me and my father to become, you know, have something. Some for us to do. You know what I mean? And that was. That was a lot of fun. But New Orleans. Like to kill me because it's New Orleans. It's New Orleans.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah.

[Tisha Allen]

And we had a lot of fun. Lots of fun.

[Minnie Driver]

So Vegas may also. Well, you have to work, though. That's a different.

[Tisha Allen]

Yeah, Vegas is going to be.

[Minnie Driver]

Yeah.

[Tisha Allen]

Yeah.

[Minnie Driver]

I feel like you have blinders when it's time to work. You work.

[Tisha Allen]

I work. Yeah. And I wouldn't stay. I probably won't stay the whole time. You know, I'll be in and out, you know, because we're gonna play ever, I think Wednesday, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, I think. And then. And then during those other days, I'll be. I might stay or I might leave, whatever.

[Minnie Driver]

What's the best song you ever recorded? One answer. Only one answer. Take a second. Think if you want to answer only. No.

[Lunchbox]

Didn't.

[Minnie Driver]

We're not doing any diplomatic stuff here.

[Tisha Allen]

Best song I ever recorded.

[Minnie Driver]

Yep.

[Tisha Allen]

It's a toss up between There Goes My Life, Anything but Mine, you, and Tequila. It ranks up there.

[Minnie Driver]

It's my favorite song. That's one of my top favorite songs ever of all time.

[Tisha Allen]

Oh, well, thank you. I mean, that's when I First heard that song, I was. I heard. I initially heard it, and my friend Matrice Berg, who wrote it, it was her. It was a. It was a female vocal. And then it didn't. It didn't resonate. And then she sent me the song with a male perspective and a male vocal on it. I was. I was. I heard it and I went, oh, my God, this is. I think I could really do this and really glad that I did.

[Minnie Driver]

What song did you record that you knew it was going to be a monster mainstream hit?

[Tisha Allen]

I mean, I listened to a verse in a chorus of get along and I just thought. I just kind of threw up my hands and I said that. I was on the plane. I was on a writer's trip with Josh osborne and Shane McInally, and we were on our way back home and they were just playing me a ton of songs on the way back home, and Josh played me get along and I went, oh, my God, that's amazing.

[Minnie Driver]

Which song? That became something we all know. Did you almost not record?

[Tisha Allen]

I almost didn't record Don't Blink. It's been a while, you know, But I almost didn't. And I just couldn't. I couldn't put my hands around. I couldn't put my brain around it. I felt like that it. It was a little. I don't know, I felt like I was so in my brain. I was thinking about. Just constantly thinking about the show. I was thinking about energy. I was thinking about keeping the energy of the show and the sequence of my show really high energy. And for that reason only, I almost didn't record it. But it was such a. I don't know, it felt to me like. And I'm really glad that I did. It was a big record for me, me. But it felt a touch like a Hallmark card, just a little. And so I. For that reason, I almost didn't.

[Minnie Driver]

Do you feel like you're pretty chill or you're more neurotic? Generally, as a human being?

[Tisha Allen]

I'm pretty chill as a human being, I think.

[Minnie Driver]

Professionally. Would they say the same about you?

[Tisha Allen]

No, professionally, I am. I'm very. Because I'm in that zone now. I mean, look at my. If you take a close look at my fingernails, you wouldn't think that I'm very chill because. But this is the time of the year where I am very. Look, I'm hands on with everything. Like, this is. Getting ready for the sphere has been such a mental grind because I'm so hands on with everything. And there's a Lot of moving parts. When you go and do this kind of thing, that's different. Like, if we were preparing to go to a stadium show or something else that we're used to doing, it would be okay. I've kind of wrapped my brain around how we're going to get ready for this and how. How we're gonna change this and to make it new and fresh. Okay, we're gonna put some songs in and out and see where it lands. That's not as, you know, mentally taxing as truly recreating everything. And so that's been a grind for me, you know, but it's been a good one, you know, and it's forced us, like I said earlier, it's forced my whole team to get out of their comfort zone, if you will. And I think that's where you grow as a person, as an artist, as an entertainer or whatever it is. Whether you're trying to get better at working out or business or whatever. When you get out of your comfort zone is where you really see a lot of change. And doing the sphere has really been great for us in that way.

[Minnie Driver]

Tickets on sale January 31st. Kenny's Playing Sphere Las Vegas starting in May. But again, tickets on sale January 31st. That's pretty exciting. I've not been motivated to go, like, to make a trip to go. It looks awesome when I watch it on my phone, but I think this is one.

Lots of good stuff up there. Okay, see you guys next weekend. Bye.
