[Kane Brown]

Here we go.

[Danielle Roubaix]

Papa Bon Show.

[Kane Brown]

These are places that will pay you to move there, huh?

[Danielle Roubaix]

Not bad.

[Kane Brown]

Mostly you're just gonna move if one, there's a job that's paying you and you're moving for your job or you're moving back to a place or because you have support there. Let's say you have kids and you have a grandma or uncles and aunts that can help take care of the kids. Like those are probably the most common reasons you move somewhere, right?

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

Okay. Up first, West Virginia. Ascend. West Virginia has. It's a program. A move to one of their designated communities could score remote workers a 12k payday along with a free outdoor recreation package. So it's a whole program to get people to move there. Basically, they pay 12,000 bucks a one time.

[Memphis Bleak]

12K?

[Kane Brown]

From what I read. Yes. You have to stay there for a certain amount of time. So you can't like grand opening, grand closing.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I was thinking.

[Kane Brown]

I think they may give it to you in segments or after you reach the requirement of you've lived here a certain amount of time.

[Memphis Bleak]

And what's that recreational pass.

[Kane Brown]

Like pools, national parks, probably like. Yes. Memberships to things like parks.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's cool.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah. Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Tulsa Remote program offers Remote workers $10,000 in rental cash or a down payment on a home. So they're not going to give you a briefcase full of cash, but they will credit you 10 grand or they'll pay 10 grand toward part of the home purchase.

[Lunchbox]

That's pretty cool.

[Kane Brown]

And money's money saved. Money's made money. Topeka, Kansas.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

Choose Topeka, Will provide. Why did you go?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's where I was born.

[Kane Brown]

How long did you live there?

[Lunchbox]

Nine months.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah, I feel you. I feel like born there and. I know, I know, but I feel like he steals the thunder from Morgan and Abby, who actually are from Kansas. Whoa.

[Lunchbox]

Were they born in Topeka?

[Danielle Roubaix]

We were born in Wichita, but we were born in Kansas. You didn't spend your life in Kansas?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no. I was born in that actual city.

[Kane Brown]

Remember that pen? The Kansas Jayhawk pen? That was such a hot item made.

[Nyla Simone]

Out of the sports.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah. And it was like, Abby actually went to school there. But he was like, I'm a bigger fan. And I was like, I understand both sides of this. Yeah. It doesn't matter.

[Memphis Bleak]

But hold on, hold on.

[Kane Brown]

I'm making much ado about nothing, but.

[Memphis Bleak]

When you say, like, Houston, I don't go like, whoa, were you born.

[Kane Brown]

Were you born in Houston?

[Memphis Bleak]

No, I was born in Texas. But, like, that's like.

[Kane Brown]

Well, Topeka, though, to be on. On Lunchbox aside, if he was, I think living somewhere for nine months doesn't count. For months. He didn't stay there.

[Nyla Simone]

But it's on your birth certificate.

[Lunchbox]

No, but whatever you say.

[Kane Brown]

Company conspiracy. Amy always defends Lunchbox. Conspiracy happens.

[Lunchbox]

He was saying Morgan and Abby claiming Topeka makes no sense because they weren't. They have no relation to that.

[Kane Brown]

Right. It's like, I'm just talking Kansas in general. Okay.

[Danielle Roubaix]

I just support Kansas in general because I love Kansas. It's where I'm from.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah. And. But Lunchbox does. If he was born in Topeka, it works. I guess.

[Lunchbox]

I was. My grandparents, I would go there for Thanksgiving and Christmas all the time.

[Kane Brown]

I feel like you just choose it randomly when you're Topekin. Other times, you're San Antonio. It's like you have different.

[Lunchbox]

Here's the deal.

[Kane Brown]

Do you recognize that, though, that you, like, get to choose? You have multiple cities that you can just be like, that's where I'm from.

[Lunchbox]

Correct.

[Kane Brown]

Where are you from? Where are you from?

[Lunchbox]

I say, I was.

[Kane Brown]

No, no, no, no. Where are you from?

[Lunchbox]

I was born in Topeka, but I grew up in Austin. I'm telling you, I tell everybody.

[Kane Brown]

What about San Antonio?

[Lunchbox]

I say, I went to college in San Antonio.

[Kane Brown]

But you're a code switcher.

[Lunchbox]

When people ask me where I'm from, I always say, well, I was born in Topeka. And my wife says the same thing. She goes, you were only there nine months. Like, you don't have to say you're.

[Kane Brown]

But you're telling the truth. You're telling the truth.

[Lunchbox]

I am from there, but I was raised somewhere else.

[Kane Brown]

Okay, but where's everybody from? Because you kind of. Ray does the same crap.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know where Ray's coming up.

[Kane Brown]

One day, Ray shows up and he's like, nah, man, I'm from Georgia. I'm from Michigan. I'm from Wyoming.

[Memphis Bleak]

He said one time he was from the Four Points.

[Kane Brown]

What Is that so? Once and for all, where's everybody from? Raymondo, where are you from? Well, this is gonna add a twist. No, no more twists. I was life flighted because of my twin brother. The umbilical cord was wrapped around his head. We. I was born technically in Salt Lake City, Utah.

[Memphis Bleak]

I had never heard that.

[Kane Brown]

Okay, but all that. I just want to know where you're from. I'm not even asking where you were born, what hospital you were born.

[Nyla Simone]

What?

[Kane Brown]

I just want to know if somebody says, where are you from? Where are you from? Because that's like your home. That's what that's. You represent Michigan. Agree. And when did you move to Michigan? In high school. He laughed. But it's okay. You chose it.

[Lunchbox]

That's interesting.

[Kane Brown]

Where are you from? You're from Michigan. Yes. Great. I will accept that you also spent some time in places that you have a relationship with, and I think that's fair and fine. But where you from, that's like your first team. You can't have two favorite teams. Like, if you're an NFL fan, you can't have two favorite teams. You have one favorite team. You can have other teams you like and root for for different reasons, but you have one favorite team. Ray, you're from Michigan. Yes. Now, what other places are you close to? So I lived in Wyoming for 14 years. What would be your junior varsity? If Michigan's your team, what's your junior varsity? Texas. Okay. I went to college there.

[Nyla Simone]

Guys, it really sounds to me like he's from Wyoming.

[Kane Brown]

Walk us through your timeline. Right. You were born where? I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. And how long were you in Salt Lake City? A day. So basically you and Lunchbox. Yeah. Got it.

[Lunchbox]

And then relax.

[Kane Brown]

Lived in Wyoming. What? For what I thought was my entire life? 14 years. Moved. He's from Wyoming.

[Nyla Simone]

He's from Miami.

[Kane Brown]

That's crazy.

[Nyla Simone]

I know.

[Kane Brown]

Moved to high school in Michigan, the Upper Peninsula. Like, he always college, two years in Chicago, then two years in Texas. After college, met you guys in Texas, and then you guys moved me here to Tennessee. But you get to declare whatever you want. You are from Michigan. He's from Wyoming.

[Memphis Bleak]

He's from Wyoming. He's not from the north.

[Kane Brown]

Wyoming's kind of ish north, but not really. It's more.

[Memphis Bleak]

No, he makes it like I'm from.

[Kane Brown]

The north and he is. Because we have to respect. He is from Michigan. Michigan. But I would think If I spent 14 years in a place, that would be the place I would be from.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, he's from Wyoming, but he's not Amy. I know.

[Memphis Bleak]

And interesting. He says Texas because he was only there for college and maybe a couple years after. Two years college. Two years after.

[Kane Brown]

Wyoming's kind of north. Not as north as Michigan.

[Lunchbox]

Would you consider that West?

[Memphis Bleak]

That's west.

[Kane Brown]

It's definitely west. But it's north. It's above Utah.

[Memphis Bleak]

But it's not northwest, because northwest is like.

[Kane Brown]

But is Utah. The north is north. It's cold. Okay.

[Memphis Bleak]

Now Utah's a west mountain.

[Kane Brown]

Utah is above Tennessee on the map.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I don't think we're north.

[Kane Brown]

No, we're in the mid. But would anything above us be considered north?

[Memphis Bleak]

Yes, but this also goes under, like, the whole Texas thing. You're like, I will be south.

[Kane Brown]

Correct. But would Iowa be north?

[Memphis Bleak]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Midwest. That's the Midwest.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's the Midwest.

[Kane Brown]

But Michigan's Midwest. No. Yeah. And so is Minnesota.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's the Midwest. That's the North.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's the North, I think.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I think that's the north.

[Kane Brown]

Wyoming is considered part of. Yeah. The Mountain west sub region. It's not part of the Midwest. But I'm just saying. Is it considered north to you?

[Memphis Bleak]

No.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Memphis Bleak]

The same way Texas is not the south, even though it's very South.

[Kane Brown]

What about South Dakota?

[Memphis Bleak]

North. That's the North.

[Kane Brown]

Is South Dakota the Midwest, though?

[Lunchbox]

No, too far up there.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's more central. Right.

[Kane Brown]

What states are considered the Midwest?

[Lunchbox]

Oklahoma.

[Kane Brown]

Oklahoma's not the Midwest. My wife's from Oklahoma.

[Lunchbox]

Kansas.

[Kane Brown]

She's like, we're not the Midwest. Kansas.

[Lunchbox]

Iow.

[Kane Brown]

Well, let's look at the actual.

[Lunchbox]

I'm just trying to.

[Kane Brown]

Illinois, Indiana, Iowa.

[Memphis Bleak]

Okay.

[Kane Brown]

Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. So, yeah, Michigan is considered the Midwest. It's also the North. It can be both.

[Lunchbox]

So Ray's no longer from the North. He's from the Midwest.

[Memphis Bleak]

Interesting.

[Kane Brown]

No, no, he's from the north because he claimed Michigan. You get to pick.

[Lunchbox]

You just said it was meant. I'm confused.

[Kane Brown]

Oh, I see what you're saying. I still think it's the north because it borders Canada.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

Michigan does.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

Dang.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

Nope.

[Kane Brown]

Detroit's, like, right across the line. Right, Ray? The Lower Peninsula. Yeah, but I'm closer to Canada than I am to the Lower Peninsula or even Wisconsin. So that's why. That's why I said the North. We the North. Toronto Raptors. We the North. That's where I came up with it. So. Because of Michigan. Yeah. Just because I was so far north and people didn't understand how far north I was. Yeah, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so, like, how far to Canada from your two hours?

[Kane Brown]

I cross the border and I see Mounties and all kinds of stuff.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's crazy. I mean, that's north.

[Kane Brown]

You get to claim a place to be from and then a place that you're still attached to and that you love.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's tough, man.

[Kane Brown]

Amy, where are you from?

[Nyla Simone]

I'm from Austin. There's no debate about this. I was born.

[Kane Brown]

No, no, no. You're from Alabama.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I thought you're Alabama.

[Kane Brown]

No, I mean, yell Roll Tide randomly.

[Nyla Simone]

Those are my roots. That's where my mom's.

[Kane Brown]

Is that a different category, roots?

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, that's where my mom's from.

[Kane Brown]

So you're from where?

[Nyla Simone]

But I was born in downtown Austin.

[Kane Brown]

At St. Dav and Second Degree.

[Nyla Simone]

And I lived there my entire life, same house till I was 18.

[Kane Brown]

Pick a second layer. It could be wherever.

[Nyla Simone]

Texas.

[Kane Brown]

So Austin is first and all of Texas is second. Fair enough.

[Nyla Simone]

I don't know. I mean, I guess, like, it's your life. I know that that's where I would go back to my roots. Like, my dad is from South Texas and my mom is from Alabama, so I feel like I have a little bit of.

[Kane Brown]

I think that's absolutely fair. You can be Austin first and then just claim Texas second. Okay, lunchbox.

[Nyla Simone]

Because, I mean, Austin.

[Kane Brown]

Where are you from?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know how to answer this question.

[Kane Brown]

No, where are you from?

[Lunchbox]

Dude, man, I don't know what to claim here.

[Memphis Bleak]

Where are you from?

[Kane Brown]

Where are you from?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I was born.

[Kane Brown]

Where are you from? This is an exercise we're doing where you.

[Memphis Bleak]

We just met.

[Kane Brown]

This is not being written.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah. But it's hard because then if I say Austin, then you guys are. Every time I bring up Topeka, you're gonna.

[Kane Brown]

We already do that every time. So you're not really losing any. Then where are you from?

[Lunchbox]

So I guess I'm from Austin.

[Kane Brown]

Okay. And you have a love of.

[Lunchbox]

That's tough, too.

[Kane Brown]

I.

[Memphis Bleak]

What about Chicago?

[Kane Brown]

Do you.

[Lunchbox]

I was about to say Chicago.

[Kane Brown]

San Antonio.

[Lunchbox]

I was going to say, man, how do I leave out Chicago?

[Memphis Bleak]

When he goes to Chicago, he has so many landmarks he loves to point out. Like right there. My dad saved this guy from getting beat up.

[Lunchbox]

No, he's a woman getting beat up by a man.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's it.

[Lunchbox]

Outside of Gino's east, right across the street.

[Memphis Bleak]

My grandfather used to take me to that store right there.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Kane Brown]

And what do you got? Because if whatever you don't claim second. It ain't on the list anymore.

[Memphis Bleak]

Whoa. Yeah, I know you're doing Amy. Just say United States.

[Kane Brown]

So you got Austin first. What's second?

[Lunchbox]

Man, I can't. You're saying I can't claim something?

[Kane Brown]

What's your backup quarterback? Because they don't play much, but every once in a while, they may get called in. You're not building your franchise around them.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I know it's tough, man. It's a toss up between Topeka, Chicago and San Antonio because I have so many.

[Kane Brown]

Carmen. San Diego, bro. Let's just pick somebody.

[Lunchbox]

I was all over the place.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah, no, you weren't.

[Memphis Bleak]

Really?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Kane Brown]

Your family was in different places.

[Lunchbox]

Right, right. But I visited. Okay, Eddie, you got a problem with that?

[Kane Brown]

You visiting? No, we don't care. Just pick a second place.

[Lunchbox]

And do I. I mean, do I pick Nashville?

[Memphis Bleak]

Oh, you've been here for 12 years.

[Kane Brown]

That's true.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, that's where I had my three kids.

[Nyla Simone]

I know, but there's no way if I'm in Nashville. And people will say, oh, where are you from? I don't ever say Nashville.

[Memphis Bleak]

That would be disrespectful. Because there are people that are from. From here.

[Kane Brown]

Very few lunchbox more than you do.

[Nyla Simone]

A lot.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, a lot. Me, too.

[Kane Brown]

A lot. Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

So what are you. What are you saying? Whatever I say here. What happens now?

[Kane Brown]

This is your. You're already from Austin. There's no. There's no.

[Lunchbox]

I got that.

[Kane Brown]

You're from Austin.

[Nyla Simone]

Okay. At the end of the day, you can also just say whatever you want. You just have to put up with what they say. Like, I'm still going to Roll Tide. And I have to deal with them being like, that's true.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. Roll Tide.

[Kane Brown]

That's true.

[Lunchbox]

You can't Roll Tide.

[Kane Brown]

Okay, but that's how we feel when you act like you're from Topeka. Whoa.

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean, act like it?

[Kane Brown]

You don't even have a memory of living there, man.

[Lunchbox]

But I have a memory of going to Grandma and Grandpa's and driving up that gravel driveway.

[Kane Brown]

That's absolutely.

[Lunchbox]

And I remember. I remember when it was snowing one Thanksgiving and my uncle parked and it started sliding down the driveway, and what a memory.

[Kane Brown]

And if you remember drawing a second, you get none.

[Memphis Bleak]

Go Topeka.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, it's gotta be Topeka.

[Kane Brown]

Okay, that's your backup quarterback, Topeka Morgan.

[Danielle Roubaix]

Well, definitely Kansas. Everybody in my entire family.

[Lunchbox]

Can you take the whole state?

[Kane Brown]

Because Amy did second. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

As your first.

[Danielle Roubaix]

No, it's my second. I'm just. Can I just talk first?

[Nyla Simone]

Second.

[Lunchbox]

Well, your first.

[Danielle Roubaix]

The entire. All my roots, everything. It's all southwest southeast Kansas. So Kansas is all of my thing, but my home, my first is Wichita, Kansas.

[Kane Brown]

So where are you from?

[Danielle Roubaix]

Wichita, Kansas.

[Kane Brown]

Okay. And then all of Kansas.

[Danielle Roubaix]

All of Kansas is my entire roots. Nobody else is everywhere. Anywhere else.

[Memphis Bleak]

Eddie, that's so dumb.

[Kane Brown]

That's not true. Because mine's gonna be Arkansas as a state.

[Memphis Bleak]

You guys can't do this whole state.

[Lunchbox]

The whole state is simple.

[Danielle Roubaix]

You have family everywhere.

[Kane Brown]

Where are you from? I'm from Arkansas.

[Memphis Bleak]

What part?

[Kane Brown]

Central.

[Memphis Bleak]

It's just always gonna have to go to the lobby.

[Nyla Simone]

Moved around.

[Kane Brown]

I moved all around. I looked at all different schools. I didn't have a single town I lived in. You're like one of the things.

[Nyla Simone]

Mostly Mountain Pine.

[Kane Brown]

No, no. I have memories. We moved to Mountain Pine in sixth grade, so I spent six years there. But I spent way more years than that with memories in other places in the state.

[Nyla Simone]

Every Christmas and summer, I went to Alabama. Add up those weeks.

[Kane Brown]

So mine's Arkansas, and Austin is my backup.

[Memphis Bleak]

I'm going south Texas.

[Nyla Simone]

You could say you're from Austin.

[Kane Brown]

No, it's my backup.

[Danielle Roubaix]

Wait, so you're saying you're from the entire state of Arkansas?

[Kane Brown]

Yes.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

But if someone's like, where else? It has to be Austin. That's my backup.

[Memphis Bleak]

Even though you lived in Nashville longer now?

[Kane Brown]

Yes.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yes.

[Nyla Simone]

Yes.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah, I think. I think so many of, like, my early adult. And I wouldn't move to Nashville without Austin. Like, I'm only here because of Austin.

[Nyla Simone]

And we're only here because of.

[Memphis Bleak]

We're only here because of Austin. You.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah, man.

[Memphis Bleak]

Mine's South Texas. That's. That's where I'm from.

[Kane Brown]

Oh, region. Pick a city.

[Memphis Bleak]

I mean, it's the real Grand Valley.

[Kane Brown]

It's what you feel is home. And I said central Arkansas. And he's like, no, that's the whole state. No, it's not the whole state's ark. Yes.

[Memphis Bleak]

Where are you from?

[Lunchbox]

Texas.

[Memphis Bleak]

No. That sounds so.

[Kane Brown]

Texas is so much bigger, and there are so many areas that are known independently of each other.

[Memphis Bleak]

If you have to follow it up with what part.

[Kane Brown]

If I'm not right, If I say.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, what part of South Texas you from?

[Nyla Simone]

It's all the Rio Grande Valley.

[Memphis Bleak]

Valley. Rio Grande Valley.

[Kane Brown]

That's a lot of different to Texas has many, many major cities, many locations that are different from each other. Houston is different from Dallas and is different from San Antonio. It's different From East Texas. Arkansas is kind of the same. We're small now.

[Memphis Bleak]

You got the Ozarks.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah, I'm not from the Ozarks. Right, that goes into Missouri, too.

[Memphis Bleak]

Exactly. You're not from there.

[Kane Brown]

But I'm from Arkansas. Where's home? Arkansas. Okay. What part? Central. No one even knows where I'm from, where I live for six years of my life.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, I've witnessed that.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah. Everybody keeps wanting, like, what part?

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, like, you don't know it.

[Kane Brown]

You don't know it. And then they're like, no, try me. Mountain pine. No, no, I've never heard of it.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, I've seen that conversation go down. Okay, South Texas. I'll just say Rio Grande Valley. Okay, down.

[Kane Brown]

And your second. Your backup quarterback is.

[Memphis Bleak]

Dude, I might have to go Nashville.

[Kane Brown]

That's fair.

[Memphis Bleak]

I'm gonna have to go Nashville on that one. Especially if I'm out of town. Where are you from? I mean, I live in Nashville.

[Nyla Simone]

Well, yeah, that's different.

[Kane Brown]

That's different. That's like, where do you live now? Like, if you're out of town and someone asks you, hey, where you from? I say, nashville because where my address is.

[Memphis Bleak]

But yeah, but no one says, like, where do you live now? They say, where are you?

[Kane Brown]

Hey, that's a different story.

[Nyla Simone]

Where are you visiting from? That's what they're asking when you're sitting.

[Lunchbox]

At a blackjack T. Okay, this is. This is a great scenario.

[Kane Brown]

Well, that's Nashville. That answers Nashville.

[Lunchbox]

And they always say, where are you from? I'm like, oh, I live in Nashville, but I grew up in Texas. I told them, what about you're born in? It's really weird, but I do. I add it every time.

[Kane Brown]

Other the fact that you. Places that are paying you guys. Baltimore, Maryland.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I am not moving there.

[Memphis Bleak]

Why not? It's nice out there.

[Kane Brown]

Buying into Baltimore could offer you a shot of $5,000 in down payment or closing cost assistance and a five year forgivable loan. But you have to stay five years and they forgive the loan. Hamilton, Ohio, their reverse scholarship program offers up to $15,000 to those who've graduated from the STEAM program, which is science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. I know you're trying to correct me and say stem.

[Nyla Simone]

No, I never. No, I said stem.

[Lunchbox]

You did.

[Kane Brown]

You were gonna be honest yourself. Be honest with yourself.

[Nyla Simone]

Yes. But then I heard you say it, and then I was like, oh, steam. I've never heard of that.

[Kane Brown]

Arts. Hey. Hey. I turned my stem off on TikTok Steam.

[Memphis Bleak]

Oh, you did?

[Kane Brown]

I Went in my settings. I was like, I don't need that crap. I mean, I was watching it for a while. She did me.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'm glad you hit.

[Nyla Simone]

But then I heard him say the rest of it, and I was like, interesting.

[Kane Brown]

Now you jumped in with it before I got to the A in arts.

[Nyla Simone]

Steam. Well, my brain. Sorry. Was ahead of it.

[Memphis Bleak]

So fast.

[Nyla Simone]

So fast.

[Lunchbox]

Quick thinker.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Did you do steam?

[Nyla Simone]

Sorry. I'll slow it down.

[Kane Brown]

Ketchik in Alaska.

[Memphis Bleak]

Excuse me.

[Lunchbox]

Catch.

[Kane Brown]

Here's a Ketchik. Is that what it's called?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

It's awesome.

[Memphis Bleak]

Are you been there?

[Danielle Roubaix]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

Are you from there?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no, no, no. Calm down. Didn't do that.

[Kane Brown]

Did you have, like, nine places you're from?

[Lunchbox]

It's like, if you take the whole state choose.

[Kane Brown]

Ketchikan offers free Internet for three months and up to $2,000 after you've lived there for a year.

[Lunchbox]

That's pretty good.

[Kane Brown]

For a year. You get two grand.

[Danielle Roubaix]

I'd live there.

[Memphis Bleak]

I'm surprised you're not excited about the free Internet.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's probably more expensive to get it up there in Alaska.

[Kane Brown]

Catch. Can looks awesome.

[Memphis Bleak]

You think?

[Lunchbox]

Beautiful.

[Nyla Simone]

It's.

[Danielle Roubaix]

Yeah, it's pretty.

[Kane Brown]

It's just cold.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. You don't want to daylight for six months.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah.

[Danielle Roubaix]

It's not cold during summertime.

[Kane Brown]

Okay, I hear you, but it's like.

[Lunchbox]

That's like two months.

[Kane Brown]

I'm just, you know, daylight for six months. Right. And dark for six months. Like that there.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

In January. Let's go. The highest it gets there is in August. 64 is the high. That's not bad for 13 days. I'm sure it's cool. That'd be cool. I've never been to Alaska. Ketchikan winters are frequent. Rain, snow. It's not as brutal as other Alaskan regions. Boy, that's not really a pitch. We're not as bad as others.

[Danielle Roubaix]

I don't think it's as deep in Alaska as some of the others.

[Memphis Bleak]

You can't play golf out there, huh?

[Kane Brown]

No, it's like Canada. When, you know the guy was here that was in Canada, he's like, yeah, we get to play for, like, three months. It's like, I wouldn't even. I'd never join a club.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

I'd never want to buy clubs because you wouldn't get to use them. Newton, Iowa. The Newton housing initiative could give $10,000 in cash to new residents buying a home valued at over $240,000 or more.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's good money.

[Kane Brown]

All that's from NBC Los Angeles.

[Lunchbox]

Well, they do have golf courses in Alaska.

[Kane Brown]

Oh, I'm sure they do.

[Lunchbox]

I just found a couple.

[Kane Brown]

[Kane Brown]

When you look at pictures of especially.

[Nyla Simone]

These particular mites, they look more like.

[Kane Brown]

Tardigrades, like water bears, than they do too.

[Danielle Roubaix]

They totally do.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, they're kind of cute. Or when we used a classic movie reference to explain allergy tests, an allergist will inject teeny tiny amounts of the.

[Kane Brown]

Thing that they're allergic to underneath their skin. It's just like I cane powder in.

The American west with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network. Hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck, this podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests Such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best selling author and meat eater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then.

[Memphis Bleak]

Where they'll say, when cave people were here.

[Kane Brown]

And I'll say, it seems like the ice age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6, where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to the American west with Dan.

[Memphis Bleak]

Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts.

[Kane Brown]

Or wherever you get your podcasts. All these are money stories. A newly released video shows the moment cops pulled over this guy. They thought he had stolen some jewels and he just eats them all so they don't catch him. $770,000 worth of Tiffany earrings he stole and he just swallows them all.

[Memphis Bleak]

Do they have to surgically remove those like they do with dogs?

[Kane Brown]

Sometimes I think they just wait for him to poop. Oh. So. Troopers from the Florida Highway Patrol were seen pulling over Jathan Lawrence Gilder and fighting to search inside of his mouth as he was escorted out of the car. Gilder, 32 years old, began thrashing around as three astonished officers wrestled him to the ground. And they were trying to get him to open his mouth. Like, if your dog has something, you're like, give me that, give me that. A trooper pulled him over because they were on alert about a robbery that had happened at the Tiffany & Co. Store at the mall. The cop then noticed he was talking with a closed mouth and also moving an object around. He's talking like this and rouge and his tongue. And so they realized he was trying to swallow all the stuff.

[Memphis Bleak]

That reminds me of the Goonies. Remember the Goonies? One of the guys, forever ago, Corey Feldman, he tried to swallow all the jewels and they're like, give me more. He keeps spitting movies.

[Kane Brown]

He pretended to be a representative for an Orlando Magic player to get access into the Tiffany store and then apparently, according to wfla, robbed it.

[Nyla Simone]

So it's that easy. You just.

[Kane Brown]

The dash cam video that shows them wrestling and, like, fighting. Like, literally, if my dog gets something, I'm trying to get it out. That's what it looks like, man. That feels like it would hurt, though. Oh, yeah. But I think that's it. Like, you get caught cheating. Swallow the poem, work, swallow the cheat sheet.

[Memphis Bleak]

They do that with drugs.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

Then they freak out.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah, I guess so. A guy in Michigan got $1.6 million extra on one paycheck. By accident, 1.6 million. A county accidentally paid an employee 1.6 million extra.

[Nyla Simone]

That's a lot.

[Kane Brown]

That is a lot. Instead of his hourly wage, he got basically $1.6 million. And so he reported the mistake and began returning the money. Two employees have been fired. One has been suspended. Over the air. The mistake is the latest in a string of issues since the county switched to a new Oracle Run payroll system last year. Officials say inadequate training and unresolved system problems continue to leave this vulnerability. WXYZ. With that, you get a check for $1.6 million. What do you think?

[Nyla Simone]

I think, oh, this was an accident, and I'd rather say something.

[Kane Brown]

So, yeah, immediately I feel like I would go worse. I'd be like, I'm being targeted somehow they're trying to get me for something, and they've pinned $1.6 million on me. I'd start to freak out immediately if I had seen that.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah. Or is it a test for my company to see how honest I am?

[Kane Brown]

Well, yeah, they gotta use $1.6 million. It's an.

[Memphis Bleak]

I don't think I notice it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Nyla Simone]

Oh, yeah. Because. What.

[Kane Brown]

Are you kidding?

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah. Eddie doesn't log into his stuff.

[Kane Brown]

His wife saying, like, he's so rich. He was making it.

[Memphis Bleak]

Hell no.

[Kane Brown]

He was making a joke.

[Nyla Simone]

He's like, oh, yeah, I thought he was saying, detached from his what do you do?

[Kane Brown]

Lunchbox. If our company accidentally gives you 1.6 million extra on a check, really, what do you do?

[Lunchbox]

I would be a resident of a different state. Like, I mean, that person was a Michigan resident. Their new home would probably be in Pennsylvania or something. I'd move out of there that way. Hey, can't find me.

[Kane Brown]

Our company's in every state.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah. What are you talking.

[Lunchbox]

More so there's no way to get it back.

[Kane Brown]

They can still find you if you quit. It's not like calling force field.

[Lunchbox]

No, it is. Like, they're not. Like, when I quit, they're not gonna be like, oh, you know what? Now they quit, let me go back and look through his paychecks. No, they're just gonna be like, no.

[Kane Brown]

They'Re gonna know where they discover, investigate where the 1.6 went. And you can't call like, ah, force field can't get to me.

[Lunchbox]

I got a feeling that I could hide pretty well with $1.6 million.

[Memphis Bleak]

Can he leave the country? Like, is that a.

[Kane Brown]

But you're gonna turn your whole Life.

[Lunchbox]

Around for 1.6 million?

[Kane Brown]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

Your kids, your wife.

[Memphis Bleak]

You'd have to leave them behind, to leave your house.

[Kane Brown]

You're really not gonna be able to sell your house.

[Lunchbox]

Why?

[Kane Brown]

Because they're gonna know when you're selling it and go after whoever. Whomever selling it.

[Lunchbox]

How long do you think it would take them to realize? Like, if that company has been having, you know, like, probably pretty quick.

[Kane Brown]

1.6 million. I think that's probably pretty quick. It's probably like 1600 bucks or something in our decimal points. Moved to the wrong place.

[Lunchbox]

I'm just saying I'd be a former Michigan resident, and then I'd say, oh, I didn't realize it. I just thought I'd move.

[Kane Brown]

You'd have to get it all out of your bank and have to be all cash, and you'd have to run with that, because if it's in your bank, they would just lock your bank account.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. You just go put it in the Caymans.

[Kane Brown]

You don't know what that means.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you put a bank account in the Caymans and they can't touch it.

[Kane Brown]

Where are the Caymans?

[Lunchbox]

Down there.

[Memphis Bleak]

They got a Bank of America in the Caymans?

[Lunchbox]

No, that's why you don't do an American bank.

[Memphis Bleak]

Oh.

[Kane Brown]

A Guy finds a $50,000 lottery ticket while cleaning out his car. A winner, a Maryland lottery player said he was cleaning out his car. He found a forgotten Powerball ticket that turned out to be a $50,000 winner. The Philadelphia man who travels for work as an engineer said he bought the ticket June 4. The man said he was cleaning his car more than a week later, and he found an old ticket. He looked at it. That's $150,000. He's gonna use it to pay his bills. UPI. How's that make you feel?

[Lunchbox]

It's annoying that you're that irresponsible with a ticket, that you just throw it in your truck and you don't even know $50,000. Oh, can you imagine being that irresponsible with something that can pay you so much?

[Kane Brown]

It didn't say it was in his floorboard. He. It could have been in his, like, metal compartment anywhere.

[Lunchbox]

I don't care.

[Kane Brown]

But he could have put it there, and it's where he always puts his ticket. But then he goes and finds it.

[Nyla Simone]

Later, and also he's acting like this is some golden ticket. If you play a lot or you play for fun, and you know the odds aren't that great, you're likely thinking it's not a winner because it's likely not.

[Lunchbox]

Just buy it, walk out the store, and throw it on the ground if it's likely not a winner. I mean, that's crazy logic.

[Kane Brown]

It's not crazy logic because it's still there even if you don't plan to win.

[Lunchbox]

But he didn't. He probably forgot all about that ticket.

[Kane Brown]

That's okay. Now he remembered. With $50,000.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Idiot.

[Kane Brown]

Americans are paying more than $1,000 a year on subscriptions.

[Memphis Bleak]

Oh.

[Kane Brown]

A lot of Americans are feeling oversubscribed and are considering cutting their subscriptions. According to a new survey from CNET, it finds the average American spends 90 bucks a month or $1,080 on them a year. But even worse, we're wasted 200 bucks a year or so on unused or unnecessary subscriptions. Any thoughts?

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, true. I mean, this happens. I go through and I try to clean them up. Does not I rocket. Money is something that has really helped me. I use that and it will show me any duplicate transactions that I have, like subscriptions. And I'll be like, oh, my gosh. Like, there's sometimes where I've signed up for two accounts of something and I'm like, what? And I've been paying for this, like MGM streaming service, Paramount Plus 2, or whatever they are.

[Kane Brown]

That's because you sign up for all of these trials.

[Nyla Simone]

Because I need to watch a certain show. But then. Yes, you forget about it. But then I. That's been a very clear way for me as I've been involved in my finances to lay it all out. I have a pie chart. I see where my money's going and. Yeah, absolutely. Subscriptions are a money suck.

[Kane Brown]

I can't unsubscribe to the Halo account that I have because we built a Halo when our dogs were younger.

[Nyla Simone]

What's a Halo?

[Kane Brown]

It's basically an electric fence.

[Nyla Simone]

Oh, that.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah. And. Well, we haven't had that in like, three. I haven't had like, three properties. I have no idea how to. I get $8 every month and I can't get out of it.

[Nyla Simone]

Want me to help you?

[Kane Brown]

I can't remember my name.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, let me see your phone.

[Kane Brown]

Can't remember my password. I've tried. I don't know how to get out of it. So, like, I have those that. I guess I'm just perpetually locked in forever. I think I'm just going to be.

[Nyla Simone]

What car does it go to? Just cancel that card.

[Kane Brown]

I can't even get into the account. I don't know. I don't want to cancel the whole car for $8 a month. You know, I'm punching the Butt. That is. But you know what's been awesome for me is YouTube TV. It's. I was so scared of just getting, like, a television, like a cable app, but because I was like, YouTube TV. What even is that? It's awesome.

[Memphis Bleak]

Is that where you watch all your TV sports and everything?

[Kane Brown]

Everything. Yeah, YouTube TV's been awesome, and it's allowed me to cut some of them. But we pay for so many subscription services, though. I wish you could only pay as you used, because there are certain seasons where we're just so into Paramount. Plus, depending on, you know, whatever version of Yellowstone or whatever show he's making, we're all on that. Didn't we have a couple shows at hbo Max? I wish you could just pay as you use, like a. I just realized. What's the buffet called? Lou and Louis. Yeah, I like it. Louvies.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah. Yeah. I just noticed a Crunchyroll expense. Y' all know what that is? Jelly Roll Crunchyroll.

[Lunchbox]

That's your anime.

[Nyla Simone]

I know. And you know, my daughter loves anime. And I don't know how I was overlooking, but suddenly I see the Crunchyroll one. And then I talk to her and she's like, I. That was not me. I did not sign up. I said to Shira, there is nobody else in this house that is going to sign up for Crunchyroll. Like, it has you all over it. So, like, how? She's like, well, I don't know. Surely that can't be me. It had to be a really long time ago. I said it was. And we've been spending money every month, so I hope.

[Kane Brown]

Shut it off.

[Nyla Simone]

So I hope. Yeah, canceled. No more Crunchyroll.

[Kane Brown]

Wow. You got to get me out of Halo over here. I'm in Halo prison. It's a. It was a. It was great. We just don't need it anymore. And for at least a year and a half, I've been paying for it that I just money out. What's cool about Apple, though, is you can go into your subscription. I just didn't pay for it with Apple. I should have. But you can go into it and cancel anything in Apple if you go to your subscription.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, that's another way. Because I always. Some of those apps get me, like, the. You know, like, there's one that was going to help me with my clothing, and then another one that was helping with my subliminals.

[Kane Brown]

What the heck are you spending money on?

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, when I get a. If. If I get a little commercial, I click on it. It's like, download this App.

[Memphis Bleak]

Oh, no, Amy.

[Nyla Simone]

They're just.

[Kane Brown]

She's like. But I can't figure out why I keep getting scammed.

[Nyla Simone]

You think? It's not that big of a deal. Oh, Apple got me with Apple News. You know, they'll pay. You can pay them for more news. Yeah, 12.99amonth or something.

[Kane Brown]

I just get, like, every magazine.

[Nyla Simone]

I just canceled that. I mean, for a while I was using it, and then I was like, this stuff is like, I can find this elsewhere. I'm not going to pay Apple 2012 99. Although it's nice to have it curated.

[Memphis Bleak]

But, you know, I pay for my Gmail.

[Kane Brown]

What?

[Memphis Bleak]

Gmail, like, charges me monthly for, like, I guess, storage.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, I'd pay Dropbox.

[Kane Brown]

You hear all my subscriptions?

[Nyla Simone]

Oh, whoa, whoa.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's a long list.

[Kane Brown]

I know.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa.

[Kane Brown]

Eighteen birdies. Golf, 99 bucks a year.

[Memphis Bleak]

What, do you subscribe there? Yeah, there's a free version.

[Lunchbox]

It's a free.

[Kane Brown]

I guess I thought it made me better or something.

[Memphis Bleak]

Oh, no.

[Kane Brown]

Apple 1.37.95.

[Nyla Simone]

I don't know.37 a year or a month? Because that's a lot.

[Kane Brown]

Oh, it's for storage. Apple One is storage.

[Memphis Bleak]

There we go.

[Nyla Simone]

Okay.

[Kane Brown]

Better. Net VPN. 95 bucks a year.

[Memphis Bleak]

Talk about that.

[Nyla Simone]

You need the VPN.

[Kane Brown]

Disney Plus 15.99amonth.

[Nyla Simone]

15?

[Kane Brown]

Yeah. Dropbox, 11.99amonth.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah. I pay for that.

[Memphis Bleak]

You're over the thousand already.

[Kane Brown]

ESPN Plus. I watch all the shows on ESPN.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's good, though. I like that one.

[Kane Brown]

$119 a year, man.

[Nyla Simone]

You should look into getting the Disney ESPN bundle.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, you do need to get the bundle, but the bundle includes another Hulu Max or Verizon.

[Kane Brown]

$16.99 a month. Microsoft 365, which is Microsoft Word. 99 bucks a year.

[Nyla Simone]

Microsoft Word.

[Kane Brown]

All the Microsoft stuff. It's not. You have to pay for a license. Netflix, four screens, 22. 99amonth. Paramount Plus 12.99amonth. Peacock, yearly, $139.99, bro. Prompt Smart. Which is basically a prompter on my phone so I can read when I have to do, like, a telephone call. We need that.34.99 a year.

[Nyla Simone]

So some of these are work expenses.

[Lunchbox]

We need this.

[Memphis Bleak]

No, he does. For videos.

[Kane Brown]

Peloton.

[Nyla Simone]

When is the last time you got on that?

[Kane Brown]

Don't be rude.

[Nyla Simone]

Well, I'm just saying you could probably use Peloton.

[Kane Brown]

Still Treadmill.

[Lunchbox]

No, you still use it, though.

[Kane Brown]

Yes, on treadmill.

[Nyla Simone]

But you take a class because I have a peloton treadmill. I don't pay for the monthly. I just get. You can. There's an option where you click, just run.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's what you need, Bones.

[Nyla Simone]

And then you can watch whatever you want on your own tv.

[Kane Brown]

And then I think, like, Hulu and stuff I have on a different account. I don't know. Do you guys think I spent a lot?

[Memphis Bleak]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I think so.

[Memphis Bleak]

You're over that thousand a year.

[Nyla Simone]

I don't really think you need Microsoft Word.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, dude, download it.

[Kane Brown]

No, I need.

[Nyla Simone]

But for what?

[Kane Brown]

You guys don't understand license how. All those programs that I need, they have to be like. You have to have licenses for them.

[Nyla Simone]

What do you use, like, when you're on your Apple, like, do you use Microsoft Word for such all the time? Like, for what, though? I'm asking, like, what, like, to write? Yes, they have pages.

[Memphis Bleak]

Amy, he's a writer. Look at his books.

[Kane Brown]

I've got two. I got, well, two and a half bestsellers.

[Nyla Simone]

I know, but there's like, Google Dogs. There's notes, There is Apple Pages.

[Lunchbox]

Or type in an email to yourself.

[Nyla Simone]

Yes, send me an email.

[Lunchbox]

It's free.

[Kane Brown]

I do all that. Yeah, but do you know how many times Microsoft Word, like, comes to me through email? Someone's like, I forgot this document and you can't even copy and paste from it.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, that gets annoying.

[Kane Brown]

It's a business expense. You just told me that. Anyway, I'm done. I didn't mean to have.

[Nyla Simone]

Maybe I'm just jealous because I have to figure out all the ways.

[Kane Brown]

See, I can't cancel my halo because it's not part of Apple.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kane Brown]

Let's start with. Nightmares can kill you. Sometimes you feel like you die in a nightmare, but I guess they say if you hit the ground, you really are dead. I've never hit the ground in a nightmare, like falling off a bridge or anything. You ever hit the ground?

[Nyla Simone]

No, no. I wake up kind of, like, shocked from something, but not because I'm falling. I just do that thing where I. What's it called?

[Memphis Bleak]

You jerk.

[Nyla Simone]

You jerk. That's it. I jerk.

[Memphis Bleak]

Twitch.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

Any of those terms work there?

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, twitch. That's it.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, twitch.

[Kane Brown]

I twitch falling asleep. I jerk coming out of sleep. Okay, because I'll. And sometimes I'll twitch so hard falling asleep, I wake up, but a twitch to me is definitely going in if I wake up. It's like an adrenaline yank. A jerk. Which, by the way, those words can mean anything you can insert. Sure, yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

What is this? Hitting the ground thing.

[Kane Brown]

If you fall while you're sleeping in your dream. In your dream, and you hit the ground, you're supposedly dead.

[Memphis Bleak]

Like in real life, that's always.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah, but people don't ever hit the ground in their dreams, supposedly.

[Memphis Bleak]

But what if, like, I guess, like, you know, some people die in their sleep. What if that's how you realize you're dead?

[Kane Brown]

That you hit the ground? Yeah. And we'd have to dig into that to see if that's actually true or an urban legend. And I'll tell you this first, a new study found that too many nightmares can kill you. People who average at least one nightmare a week are three times more likely to die before they hit 70.

[Memphis Bleak]

Oh, no.

[Kane Brown]

Lucky for me, I never sleep. And I don't sleep pure enough to have dreams. Hey, no dreams, no nightmares. I live forever.

[Nyla Simone]

I don't know how you function. Like I was thinking about you the other day. I didn't get sleep at all. I tossed and turned all night long. And then the next day I was tired. But then the day after that, so exhausted. Like, just my body, everything hurt. And I'm like, is this how this Bobbi's baseline?

[Kane Brown]

I don't know what my baseline is because again, it's my baseline.

[Nyla Simone]

Right.

[Kane Brown]

So I don't know the comparison of the two, but I. All my body hurts around. No, it starts hurting. My guts hurt.

[Nyla Simone]

Yes. I wasn't functioning properly. And I know it was because of the sleep the two nights before that I didn't get.

[Kane Brown]

It's not a badge of honor either.

[Nyla Simone]

I know.

[Kane Brown]

I think at one point it was, let me just stay awake and get as much done as possible. Now I realize you can actually get more done if you're rested by you going to sleep. You can actually be more productive. And not just productive in work, but productive in life at work, as a husband, as whatever. Yeah. But that's why I'm going today to my brain appointment. My first one's today.

[Lunchbox]

That's exciting.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah, I have.

[Nyla Simone]

Are you nervous?

[Kane Brown]

Why? Should I be?

[Nyla Simone]

You shouldn't.

[Kane Brown]

No, I was just. Not at all if you were.

[Nyla Simone]

I was.

[Lunchbox]

Way to scare him.

[Kane Brown]

This is some kind of prank. I get there and it's Amy, ah, shoots me with a Super Soaker. I have this. We'll probably be here today till noon or so. Then I have a Bobby cast with Sam Williams until from one to two. And then I have my brain appointment after three. Wow, so not nervous. I don't have time to be nervous, but I don't Know what they're gonna do? They're not gonna like.

[Nyla Simone]

I know, but I would just be hopefully when you have the call with them, like, you gotta be very transparent. Like I'm not. I don't sleep right. You're like, tell em they didn't ask.

[Kane Brown]

A lot of questions like that.

[Nyla Simone]

They were like, you have to just be whatever it is. You have to be so honest. Like I wet the bed. Like they can help you with anything.

[Memphis Bleak]

Dude.

[Kane Brown]

I don't wet the bed though.

[Nyla Simone]

I know, but if you did, like they can try to work on that part of the brain.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah, I'm. I'm not embarrassed about anything.

[Nyla Simone]

Okay.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah, I don't sleep. I don't know what. Can they like put things on my head and tell me what's wrong with me?

[Nyla Simone]

Well, I don't know exactly how it works, but I know like at my appointments. Yes. I've been, they've been able to see what parts of my brain are overactive and what parts are asleep in a sense, like in delta mode. So there's different stages of your brain. Like and my son's brain for example, because you know, he lived in fear a lot of his life. Like his mom dropped off at an orphanage when he was really young, his brain went into survival mode and his brain still operates a lot in that. And so we spend a lot of time trying to get him out of fight flight freeze. But his brain is working really hard and it doesn't need to work that hard. So we try to calm it down. And so I wonder if some parts of your brain are exhausted because it's all subconscious and then you know what.

[Kane Brown]

I mean, we're about to find out.

[Nyla Simone]

Let's find out. It'll tell you what.

[Kane Brown]

I was six foot guard, I'm walking in. Teach me how to Dougie.

[Nyla Simone]

Like I went in once and they asked me if I smoke weed every day. And I was like no. But they're like, well your brain seems like it because I think someone's just.

[Kane Brown]

Trying to buy drugs.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they're trying to.

[Kane Brown]

I think someone just wanted to buy some.

[Memphis Bleak]

So your brain seemed like it was on.

[Nyla Simone]

There was, there was parts of my brain that were just so like off. I believe it's delta mode when it's in like asleep. Like that part of my brain was. I just was not using but it was during a time where there was a lot going on and it was helping me survive. So it was shutting off certain parts so that I could. Because I was a high functioning, like, you're High functioning, Bobby. Like, you have a lot going on in your brain, but you can be high functioning, depressed, high functioning anxiety, bedwater.

[Memphis Bleak]

You gotta be honest, dude. Gotta tell them everything.

[Kane Brown]

I go in. Overly honest?

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

I'm not your therapist, bro.

[Nyla Simone]

You're like, I'm peeing right now.

[Kane Brown]

I went on. So you know the genealogist that was on that was like, tracking back my family? I got on the site because she gave me. If you click and you log in, you can see it. And I couldn't quite get to where she got. And I would see some people and I did it, but they had a picture of my mom up there, which was crazy. Like, as a kid. Look at that.

[Nyla Simone]

Oh, my God.

[Kane Brown]

Isn't that wild? I know. I was looking at it and I was like, I've never seen this picture of my mom before. And my wife doesn't know my mom because my mom hasn't been alive in a long time. But thought, that's pretty crazy. That picture of her was up on. I guess what they do is they go and they search that name and try to find any pictures associated with it and then pull them all. But some of them were like, graves. Gravestones of, like, people.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's all they got.

[Kane Brown]

And it went back to, like. I got all the way back to, like, some people from. What's the. The country people go to for, like, prostitutes and they used to go for weed.

[Nyla Simone]

Oh, oh, oh, yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

Amsterdam.

[Kane Brown]

Amsterdam, yeah. Where people were coming over from from there. But I couldn't get all the way back to my kingdom in Germany.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, the kingdom that you belong in. Where you were the king.

[Kane Brown]

Where I was the king Johan. The kingdom of King Germany. I couldn't get back to that point on that. That map she sent me.

[Memphis Bleak]

Crazy that you'd never seen that picture of your mom, though.

[Kane Brown]

No idea. Like, we have a lot of pictures. I didn't have pictures of me growing up. Very few. If they did said proof on them, it's because I just would, like, keep it from school. We never buy the pictures because it wasn't like now you'd have it on your phone. You keep everything digitally.

[Memphis Bleak]

They still have proof on.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah. They still.

[Kane Brown]

Even.

[Nyla Simone]

Still buy.

[Kane Brown]

Even the digital ones.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah. You can't steal them. You try to screenshot it. Put in your wallet.

[Kane Brown]

I don't know. I probably could take the proof off Mike, don't you think? Oh, yeah. Easily. Easily now.

[Memphis Bleak]

Okay. Yeah, I'll screenshot and send it to Mike then.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

Have a bunch of pictures.

[Kane Brown]

You go to my. You can go to read. You can go to any of those guys.

[Memphis Bleak]

What's funny about like school pictures now, especially the ones in my kids school, is they, they have them do funny faces now. Not just like the serious one that goes in the yearbook. Like, then they're just like, all right, stick your tongue out. Or they do like little signs or whatever. So there's some cool pictures out there.

[Kane Brown]

Probably to get it all out of their system too, right?

[Memphis Bleak]

No, I mean, they give you an option to buy all of them too. They do, yeah.

[Kane Brown]

All right, well, that's what I'm doing today. And nightmares can kill you if you have a bunch. And it is not true that you will die if you hit the ground in a dream. According to multiple sources, dreams are not real in events that happen do not have physical consequences in the real world. Falling in a dream and hitting the ground will not cause you to die in real life. According to Laurie Loewenberg, while the sensation of falling and hitting the ground in a dream can be frightening and cause a physical jerk. Jerk? Didn't you say jerk?

[Memphis Bleak]

Jerk. Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

Or startle when you wake up, it will not result in death. This is a common myth, but there is no evidence to support it. Do you know why? Because anybody who died in their dream can't wake up and say, like, I died in my dream.

[Lunchbox]

Correct.

[Memphis Bleak]

They can't tell you.

[Kane Brown]

How about that?

[Lunchbox]

I can't tell you. They hit the ground.

[Kane Brown]

Anybody who died can't tell you. They died and they hit the ground in their dream. Insufficient. That's what I say.

[Danielle Roubaix]

I did a fun fact about that though. Like, the jerk happens because your brain is warning your body that, like, you're falling asleep and you're. You're safe. That's what the jerk kind of means.

[Kane Brown]

And my jerk I remember doing this is when someone's always throwing me a basketball in my dream.

[Memphis Bleak]

I go, oh, and you're not ready for it.

[Kane Brown]

I'm not ready for it. And I wake up. Like, it's always basketball.

[Memphis Bleak]

Weird.

[Kane Brown]

That's the only jerk.

[Memphis Bleak]

Maybe something happened to you, like when you were a kid when you didn't see a basketball coming and it really hit you. That's your nightmare.

[Kane Brown]

Nah, I had way worse stuff than that happen around the room.

[Nyla Simone]

Amy, I came across this article about how emotionally intelligent couples handle conflict.

[Kane Brown]

All right, tell me about me.

[Nyla Simone]

There's five things, but one of them stood out to me. For Bobbi specifically, and only because your words. I'm not saying this, you have said it.

[Kane Brown]

Do they drive off and turn off their location settings. So you can't find them?

[Danielle Roubaix]

No.

[Kane Brown]

Oh, nevermind.

[Nyla Simone]

So one of the ways that emotionally intelligent people handle conflict. They take a pause when emotions run high.

[Kane Brown]

Okay.

[Nyla Simone]

Cause we're not going to deal with this right now. They focus on understanding, not winning. That's number two.

[Kane Brown]

I'm more of a winner.

[Nyla Simone]

That's the one that stood out to me. Because Bobby, you've said multiple times now I'm just. I just have to win.

[Kane Brown]

I'm more of a winner. Yeah, go ahead.

[Nyla Simone]

What you need to do though, is listen to your partner's perspective. Working towards understanding rather than proving that you're right.

[Kane Brown]

I know, it's just harder.

[Nyla Simone]

But you're emotionally intelligent. You've said that.

[Kane Brown]

I'm not. Only in parts. In theory.

[Nyla Simone]

I mean, I guess you're. Well, then what's the intelligent part? You're just intelligent.

[Memphis Bleak]

Just smart. Yeah. Like. Like no stuff.

[Nyla Simone]

Oh, ye.

[Kane Brown]

But you're not emotionally intellectually. That's right. I think I have a little lead intellectually. Not a ton, but a little lead. Intellectually I was blessed. But emotionally, I think I'm a little stunted, actually.

[Nyla Simone]

That's actually what I meant. Sorry.

[Lunchbox]

You agree with that, Eddie?

[Kane Brown]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

Because you don't do pauses.

[Kane Brown]

Even like the first pause stop going.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the pause. Like, don't you just do silent treatment?

[Kane Brown]

Well, that's my pause. I'm done talking about this.

[Nyla Simone]

But it's not a healthy pause.

[Kane Brown]

No, I hear you. And I've got.

[Lunchbox]

It's a very long pause.

[Memphis Bleak]

Long one.

[Kane Brown]

Okay, I'll never. I'll never circle back. Like, if there's an argument and it's like, I just need a break. And my wife will be like, okay, I'll give you a break. That's fine. But you never. The break's never over. And I'm like, well, I'm never over. I mean, I'm not there yet.

[Memphis Bleak]

What's the one where you give her a date? Like, tell me when you're ready.

[Kane Brown]

Well, yeah. Well, yes. In a disagreement. If it's like, hey, I'm not in a good place to have this fight right now. And she'll go, okay, when will you be good? It's. If it's like 4pm and I'm like, November 3, 2027. She's like, no, no, like today. I'm like, I won't be ready today. And she's like, well, I need. Give me a realistic time. Okay, January 5th. She wants to punch me in the face. But I can resolve things in My own head. And I think one of the difficulties, one of the difficulty days of being married to me is I spent so much time alone and not in relationships or not even having a family dynamic where we work things out. I had to always just deal with it myself and figure it out. So I will come to a conclusion, resolve it, move on all in my head, and never communicate it. And I'm like, no, no, I'm good. She's like, we haven't shared with me. And I'm like, I got it all figured out. I'm good. So that's tough. And probably not emotionally intelligent. Intelligent, yeah.

[Nyla Simone]

The third one is acknowledge emotions before speaking. So you sort of maybe acknowledge the emotions, but you don't speak of them.

[Kane Brown]

I don't know. Help me. I don't know what that means.

[Nyla Simone]

So by recognizing your own emotions first, like when you're able to do that, you prevent any escalation or avoid saying things that you might regret, like acknowledging, hey, I'm. I'm really upset, or I'm feeling angry right now. Instead of holding it in and then the anger comes out in yelling or something.

[Kane Brown]

I don't yell at it.

[Nyla Simone]

That you regret. Like, you've never yelled.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah, but I mean, almost never. It's not my.

[Nyla Simone]

Go to silence. Yeah. Which is sometimes worse than you cutting to someone than yelling. Okay, but I like, show you're okay, fine. I would want to be like, okay, yeah, finally. Yeah, show me something.

[Kane Brown]

I can't be recorded being silent.

[Nyla Simone]

Oh, it's because of fear of being recorded in your own home?

[Kane Brown]

No, just generally. Anybody even here?

[Memphis Bleak]

It's like, yeah, we're always recording.

[Kane Brown]

Have I ever. Have I ever yelled?

[Memphis Bleak]

No, I was thinking about that.

[Kane Brown]

Like, you talk loud.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

On the show. I mean, we're on the air. Obviously I've yelled, but, like, I'm thinking about real life. No, because why would I yell?

[Nyla Simone]

I thought it was because it is.

[Kane Brown]

I was just kidding.

[Nyla Simone]

Shut down. Not because you were scared?

[Kane Brown]

No, not even a shut down. It's like, it's. What's the use? I just deal with it in a different way. But I'm not aggressive. I'm not aggressive.

[Nyla Simone]

Sometimes yelling isn't aggressive.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah, yelling is aggressive.

[Nyla Simone]

I think you can.

[Kane Brown]

I don't think all aggression's wrong, but I think yelling's aggressive.

[Nyla Simone]

Emotions are misinformation. Okay, we'll round out four and five. Face tough conversations head on.

[Kane Brown]

I'll pass on that one. What else you got?

[Nyla Simone]

Calm each other down during tension.

[Kane Brown]

I always say, relax.

[Memphis Bleak]

That doesn't Work.

[Kane Brown]

It never works.

[Nyla Simone]

No, no, no.

[Kane Brown]

I always do that. I'm relaxing.

[Nyla Simone]

How to offer reassurance to your partner. Relax. You know it's not gonna work.

[Kane Brown]

Chill, relax.

[Nyla Simone]

Calm down.

[Memphis Bleak]

I mean, you're saying the right words.

[Nyla Simone]

Like you remind each other. Hey, we're a team.

[Kane Brown]

No, I do this.

[Nyla Simone]

How can.

[Kane Brown]

Why so worked up?

[Nyla Simone]

Okay.

[Kane Brown]

So.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, that's not gonna work. So anyway, those are five ways emotionally intelligent couples handle conflict.

[Kane Brown]

My wife's very emotionally intelligent. I. I lack lunchbox Liver king. I don't know. I saw this with Joe Rogan.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I don't know if it was Amy or Eddie. Someone watched the documentary, talked about him on here, and he talked about how he only ate raw meat. He's this buff dude, like. And turns out he was on steroids. All this stuff. Well, Joe Rogan's the one that called him out and exposed the whole thing. Well, he drove to Austin, was in the hotel, and was, like, live, saying, hey, Joe Rogan, I'm here to challenge you today. I'm taking a shower. I will find you, and I will challenge you today. And so then he got arrested.

[Kane Brown]

Joe Rogan would kill that dude, by the way. Joe Rogan is, like, three black belts in.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Yeah, he's true. Like.

[Kane Brown]

Like, he's a real fighter.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Kane Brown]

I don't think Joe Rogan wants to have to randomly fight somebody, or you don't ever want to feel the threat of somebody near your property going, I'm waiting for you. I think that's different. But I think if Joe Rogan. And he shouldn't. He shouldn't, like, listen and then go and fight the guy. Like, that shouldn't happen. Shouldn't humor that. But if he did, he would kill him.

[Nyla Simone]

Why did he say, I'm gonna take a shower?

[Memphis Bleak]

I don't understand that.

[Lunchbox]

No, he was in the shower when he was doing, like. He was like, I'm taking a shower. I'm in the Four Seasons taking a shower, and then I'm gonna come challenge you.

[Memphis Bleak]

So the video was him in the shower.

[Nyla Simone]

Can you im. Imagine you're at the Four Seasons and this guy walking. That'd be crazy.

[Kane Brown]

In Austin, though. Yes.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, true. If he had his big, like, animal hat on and, like, no shirt, but.

[Kane Brown]

He would, like, eat the raw liver. Like, eat all the raw meat.

[Nyla Simone]

Yes. The raw nuts. Balls.

[Kane Brown]

And he was on steroids, huh?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Joe Rogan's the one that said there's no way he's.

[Kane Brown]

But did they ever find out he was on steroids?

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, he eventually crumbled his business, supposedly. I was trying not to give away.

[Lunchbox]

He had an $11,000 a month.

[Nyla Simone]

Month steroid use of the documentary.

[Kane Brown]

How did that find out? Oh, it was in the documentary.

[Lunchbox]

Leaked emails. And Joe Rogan, like, talked about it on his podcast or whatever and was like, there's no way that guy in his 40s is that ripped and not doing something.

[Kane Brown]

I wish someone would accuse me of steroids.

[Memphis Bleak]

It's not believe.

[Nyla Simone]

Okay, buddy.

[Memphis Bleak]

It's not believable, man.

[Kane Brown]

I know, but I wish it would just be, like, out there. Like, there's no way he's got to have physique without steroids. That would be cool.

[Memphis Bleak]

That would be cool. But you may need steroids to have that physique.

[Kane Brown]

I know. That's the problem.

[Nyla Simone]

What I was just gonna say, if you need to be accused, we can accuse you.

[Kane Brown]

No, but no one will believe it. But I wish that it would just was like, man. Or if they'd be like, man, that guy's had a lot of plastic surgery. Look how great he looks.

[Memphis Bleak]

You know, you might get that.

[Nyla Simone]

Start saying you're older than you are.

[Kane Brown]

That's. I don't. Why would I do that?

[Nyla Simone]

Because then people be like, what? You be like, I'm 60. And they're like, what?

[Memphis Bleak]

Starts selling a serum.

[Kane Brown]

It's all on the Internet. Oh, that's why Amy's got all kinds of serums on her stuff.

[Nyla Simone]

Snail serum. That's my one. Serum. Serum. Serum, serum. And I love it.

[Memphis Bleak]

So the Liver King. Why do you get arrested? Because of the video stalking. He was at a hotel.

[Kane Brown]

No, no, but I think he's saying, I'm coming. He said, I'm coming to get you.

[Memphis Bleak]

Oh, I thought he said, like, I'm here. Let's do this.

[Lunchbox]

He says, I'm coming to challenge you.

[Memphis Bleak]

Doesn't say, but I didn't know you get arrested for just being like, hey, man, I'm here at a hotel in the shower. Let's do this.

[Kane Brown]

Well, let me read the actual story. Would you click into that mic this from KXA in Austin. The Austin Police Department have arrested Brian Johnson, known online as the Liver King. He faces one charge of terroristic threat, a class B misdemeanor. The police department confirmed Johnson made threats against Joe Rogan on his Instagram.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. He said, I'm challenging you just as a man. I don't want to kill you. Why would I want to kill you? You have a family. I wouldn't want to take you away from your family.

[Memphis Bleak]

Sounds Nice.

[Lunchbox]

So I hope this is not perceived as a threat, but f. Wait a second. F. You, Joe Rogan. You guys can all call the cops.

[Kane Brown]

Huh?

[Memphis Bleak]

Maybe it's something before that. He said before that.

[Kane Brown]

But they even quote the Instagram video they posted on June 23rd. Joe Rogan, I'm calling you out. My name is Liver King. Man to man. I'm picking a fight with you. I have no training in Jiu Jitsu. You're a black belt. You should dismantle me. But I'm picking a fight with you. Your rules. I'll come to you whenever you're ready.

[Memphis Bleak]

Huh? That all seems kind of.

[Kane Brown]

You know. You're right. A bit benign, maybe.

[Nyla Simone]

There's, like.

[Memphis Bleak]

I get it. Shows up to the house. He's trying to cross the gate.

[Kane Brown]

There's got to be something, right?

[Memphis Bleak]

That's kind of weird to me.

[Kane Brown]

Me, too. Because it does. That alone doesn't feel like stalking. But if someone had creepy. It feels creepy.

[Memphis Bleak]

But he could be in the city anyway for, like, something.

[Kane Brown]

And there's no rule against going to the city of your arch enemy and just being in the city going, like, if you want to go, I'll go.

[Memphis Bleak]

It could now. Could Joe Rogan call the police and be like, hey, this guy's just scaring me.

[Kane Brown]

Like, Mike, what do you think here? How did he get arrested? Because I don't see anything he did. He's done wrong.

[Memphis Bleak]

Hmm.

[Kane Brown]

That's a good question.

[Memphis Bleak]

I mean, I just.

[Kane Brown]

The posting, the threat. Enough to get arrested. But what threat? I'm challenging you. He didn't say, I'm gonna break into your house and beat the crap out of you in your sleep.

[Memphis Bleak]

And he's even like, I'm not a good fighter. You know, I don't fight, but I'll fight you.

[Kane Brown]

Lunch Mark got terroristic threatening once.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

It dropped it, though.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kane Brown]

I don't understand. Terrorist ignored a class B misdemeanor. I'm picking a fight with you. I'm calling you out. My name's Liver King. I'm picking a fight with you. I have no history in Jiu Jitsu. You should wipe the floor with me.

[Memphis Bleak]

I don't know. Just seems like a friendly little challenge.

[Kane Brown]

And text is a terroristic threat when charged as a class B misdemeanor. Generally involves threatening to commit a violent offense with the intent to place someone in fear of serious bodily injury. But it's not a threat made against a family or household member, but a threat. I feel like it's more Of a challenge.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah, it's a challenge. He's not saying, I'm going to hurt you. He's saying, come on, let's fight. We both have the chance to.

[Kane Brown]

He used the word kill. Like, I'm not gonna kill you. Isn't that kind of a threat, though?

[Memphis Bleak]

I'm not going to kill you.

[Kane Brown]

But even like saying that, hey, I'm not gonna kill you, but I wanna fight you. That's kind of a threat.

[Lunchbox]

That is kind of a threat. Clarify. Don't worry about it.

[Kane Brown]

I'm not gonna kill you is saying you're not gonna kill someone.

[Lunchbox]

He's basically saying, hey, don't worry about it. Well, I'm not gonna kill you. You have nothing to worry about.

[Kane Brown]

I'm. If I said that to one of you guys, it'd be a threat. Like, hey, I'm gonna walk by you. I'm not gonna kill you, though. Why'd you even bring up killing me?

[Nyla Simone]

Okay, okay.

[Kane Brown]

But I think what you don't bring up doesn't make it a threat.

[Nyla Simone]

Okay. His arrest comes after he threatened Joe in a series of videos, including one in which he appears to be holding guns.

[Kane Brown]

Okay, now we're talking different. We didn't know all this. Now we're talking.

[Nyla Simone]

So, you know, is he hunting while.

[Memphis Bleak]

He'S shooting the video?

[Kane Brown]

Don't worry, I'm not gonna shoot you.

[Danielle Roubaix]

Well, I also saw a video of him, like, crawling on the ground. Yeah, he's talking about not illegal.

[Kane Brown]

I bet you this gets dropped from the. Very little I know about this. And it's all from the last seven minutes. I know nothing except the last seven minutes. And yesterday I saw the story and read it a little bit. I don't see anything he's doing or I haven't seen that is directly a threat.

[Nyla Simone]

Okay.

[Kane Brown]

It says, eddie, I'm not gonna steal all your money today. Cool.

[Memphis Bleak]

Don't feel threatened.

[Kane Brown]

Okay. Very good.

[Memphis Bleak]

Thank you for telling me.

[Kane Brown]

You're welcome. I'm not gonna kill you. I don't feel like I'm threatening you with anything.

[Memphis Bleak]

Actually feel good about the day.

[Kane Brown]

There you go. Yes.

[Nyla Simone]

Amy, in one of the. He said. I know we've said a lot, so if you said this. Sorry, I've been reading. You never come across something like this willing to die, hope that you'll choke me out, because that's a dream come true.

[Memphis Bleak]

I mean, again.

[Nyla Simone]

But he's saying, like, you're gonna.

[Memphis Bleak]

He's saying you're gonna hurt me.

[Kane Brown]

Joe. Sounds like he wants Joe gonna bang him or something.

[Memphis Bleak]

But again, not a threat.

[Kane Brown]

Okay.

[Danielle Roubaix]

It says on here, though, that it's not about. So making online threats can lead to an arrest. It's not about whether the person making the threat is intended to carry it out, but also about whether their threat is perceived as credible and specific enough to cause fear.

[Memphis Bleak]

Not.

[Kane Brown]

But the threat to me, feels more like a challenge. I understand it's creepy, and I think I would be fearful, too, if I didn't have a bunch of security. And Joe Rogan can have a bunch of security. Or Joe Rogan could kick his butt. I watched Joe Rogan kick a heavy bag once. He'd kick a hole in a person.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

So. But yeah, I'm in with Daddy. Like, I feel like he walked outline to where he's not really threatening him from what I've seen. Just kind of challenging him. And there are no laws. You can't go to Austin and hang out the Four Seasons in the shower.

[Lunchbox]

And say, I'm gonna. I'm here for it. Like, I don't know. I feel like if someone sent you a video on Instagram, said, hey, Bobby, I'm coming to Nashville and I'm gonna find you.

[Kane Brown]

But he didn't say that he challenged him. Like, if you want to, I'll fight you. He didn't say, I will come to you regardless if you let me or not. I will be there and I will punch you and physically harm you.

[Memphis Bleak]

And he's not forcing his way to him. He's saying, like, let's do this, like, when you're willing and ready.

[Kane Brown]

Also, it's creepy and weird and, yes, it would scare me. We're not doing that. I'm just saying. I don't know how this. Based on what I've read, I don't know how he actually has this charge held up. In one story, he also mentioned that Joe Rogan was going to pay. Okay, now that's a threat. Pay what, though?

[Nyla Simone]

For his holes?

[Memphis Bleak]

His hotel room?

[Kane Brown]

Yes, pay. And that was when he was mentioning that he had guns.

[Nyla Simone]

His lunch.

[Kane Brown]

That's a threat. And then he took his entire family with him to Austin.

[Nyla Simone]

Okay. See his kids, too. He took his boys.

[Kane Brown]

I see his wife here. I don't know if his boys were there.

[Nyla Simone]

Okay.

[Kane Brown]

If that is ever said. And then he ends up going, the threats were so credible that the FBI was there already waiting, waiting for him.

[Nyla Simone]

Wow, the FBI. I mean, these are.

[Kane Brown]

That means it wasn't a threat. It's more of a challenge. Like, I'll be there. I see that. If he said that Stephen for sure.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

And I'm sure there's tons of stuff we're missing.

[Memphis Bleak]

It's weird just from what was presented, I didn't see the threat, but yeah, I'm sure.

[Nyla Simone]

Well, he's obviously mentally. Something's off a little bit. Right. So not him.

[Kane Brown]

Look at him. You can tell immediately nothing is off with him. I've never seen a person. Moron.

[Nyla Simone]

Hey, you know, it's a little unpredictable.

[Kane Brown]

If I had to speculate after watching that documentary, I think he's trying to obviously cling back to that fame.

[Nyla Simone]

Yes.

[Kane Brown]

Because that documentary kind of spiked interest in him again. And all this controversy that he went through, like crushed his business. So I think this is also like part of him, like doing a stunt, but probably taking it too far.

[Memphis Bleak]

What are we learning about these kings? Tiger King, Liver King, King of Germany.

[Kane Brown]

King of the kingdom.

[Memphis Bleak]

That's you, that's your family. Yeah, but like all these other kings.

[Kane Brown]

Like, they're all self proclaimed though too, right.

[Lunchbox]

They're not real kings.

[Kane Brown]

If you self proclaim yourself a king, it's probably coming from a deep seated insecurity that you're making up for many other ways too.

[Nyla Simone]

Nah, this.

[Lunchbox]

You know what I'm worried about?

[Memphis Bleak]

What's up?

[Lunchbox]

King James, LeBron. I mean, that's another only other king.

[Kane Brown]

He wasn't. He. He didn't name himself?

[Memphis Bleak]

No, he did not. That'd be terrible.

[Kane Brown]

I wonder, did the Liver King name himself?

[Nyla Simone]

I don't know.

[Kane Brown]

I am the Liver King.

[Danielle Roubaix]

If you were the king of something, what would you be the king of?

[Kane Brown]

I think whenever he signed up with like a social media consultant, they gave him the name Liver King.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah. Because he definitely worked with a group to his brand and image. I mean, he started to get attention himself. But then. Yeah, once he signed on with a. Yeah. Influencer group, like, they definitely molded. But they're in the documentary, they talk about how he swore to us up and down he had never touched steroids and they believed him.

[Kane Brown]

I'm like, they probably knew.

[Lunchbox]

They probably knew they were just making money off of him.

[Kane Brown]

Oh, well, if you swore. Okay, Morgan, your story.

[Nyla Simone]

Okay.

[Danielle Roubaix]

So Taylor Swift was in Nashville last night.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah. Played at the Brooklyn Bowl. I think she did shake it off. Right. One song.

[Danielle Roubaix]

Yeah. I love it for Kane Brown because Kane Brown is the one who brought her out. He was performing for Travis Kelce's Tight End University, which I don't really know what that is.

[Memphis Bleak]

It's a camp.

[Danielle Roubaix]

Okay. So camp. But also that has concerts, I guess.

[Kane Brown]

I don't want to not credit George Kittle. George Kittle's tight end universe. It's here.

[Danielle Roubaix]

Okay.

[Kane Brown]

But yes, there's a group of guys. Yes.

[Nyla Simone]

Okay.

[Kane Brown]

A bunch of tight ends from college and the NFL basically work out. They work out at Vanderbilt, and now it's become a big thing where there are a lot of companies and corporations and they do. They raise money for charity as well.

[Danielle Roubaix]

Do, like, other people pay to participate? Like just normal people?

[Kane Brown]

No, you kinda have to get invited to be a tight end. You have to be a tight end.

[Nyla Simone]

Like, literally like the NFL.

[Kane Brown]

No. Or college.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah. Players.

[Kane Brown]

But you have to. You have to play tight end. And it started as a group, a way for them to just come together and, like, work on their craft. Now it is maybe year three, year four.

[Memphis Bleak]

Sounds about right.

[Kane Brown]

But yes. But yes. Now they're doing the show.

[Danielle Roubaix]

Okay, so Kane Brown was doing a show here in Nashville at Brooklyn bowl, and he started playing Shake it off and then Taylor Swift came out and performed with him and everybody freaked out. But what was crazy was the show actually wasn't sold out. I think you could get tickets. And I don't know why. I don't know what it was like, like shown as. But as soon as Taylor Swift started popping up in Nashville, like videos on social media, just that she's in Nashville, the show sold out.

[Kane Brown]

She was at Aldine's Bar the night before. She did the whole Broadway thing.

[Memphis Bleak]

Part of my story.

[Nyla Simone]

But that was. Yeah, two nights.

[Kane Brown]

Could have done one yesterday.

[Memphis Bleak]

I know.

[Lunchbox]

You just do it again. That's what you like to do.

[Kane Brown]

Okay, that's true. That is. What. You have a backup story.

[Memphis Bleak]

It's okay.

[Kane Brown]

Okay. Yeah, I did. See, that was cool.

[Danielle Roubaix]

Yeah. And it was. I was kind of shocked. She went to Aldine's Bar.

[Kane Brown]

Me too.

[Memphis Bleak]

And she wasn't packed and she wasn't like, VIP section. She was in the crowd.

[Kane Brown]

No, she went to it. No, but she walked through the crowd to get there. But she was vip.

[Memphis Bleak]

She's talking to people.

[Danielle Roubaix]

Have you not been to that bar? You can. The vip. You are kind of associated still with the crowd, but you're off.

[Kane Brown]

Morgan's a king of Broadway.

[Memphis Bleak]

Hold on. Was one of your birthdays at Aldean's?

[Nyla Simone]

Yes.

[Memphis Bleak]

Okay. I've been there.

[Kane Brown]

She's the king of Broadway. She's gonna be the king or something.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, like seven years ago.

[Danielle Roubaix]

So basically, Taylor Swift and I, same level, you know, vip Jason Aldi, Eddie.

[Kane Brown]

What do you have?

[Memphis Bleak]

I already told you what I have. No, no, I have a Backup. I have a backup. Roseanne Barr.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah.

[Memphis Bleak]

She came out on a podcast and said that she had a baby when she was 17 and had to give her up for adoption, which is.

[Nyla Simone]

She chose adoption.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

I mean, there's something about words that you guys just.

[Memphis Bleak]

What did I just do?

[Lunchbox]

Amy did not like the way you said it.

[Nyla Simone]

No, no, it's not me. It's not me. No, it's not me. I'm saying it for other people listening that are like, oh, it's great. Yeah. Well, I guess the. The way to say it just for. Is just they. They chose adoption. It just feels better for people that were maybe.

[Memphis Bleak]

No, totally. I get it. I think Roseanne in the story says I gave her up for adoption, but.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah.

[Kane Brown]

And the. The kid who's now an adult thought her mom was somebody else. Famous.

[Memphis Bleak]

Golden.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah. Goldie Horn.

[Memphis Bleak]

Because she thought. Yeah, she. She knew that her mom was famous and in Hollywood. So the whole time she's like, like, wait a minute.

[Nyla Simone]

I.

[Memphis Bleak]

It could be Goldie Hawn. Like, nah, it's not funny. But they're, they're. They know each other, you know, now, and they're. She's part of her life and everything. She's married. She has kids. It's pretty cool, I think.

[Danielle Roubaix]

I love.

[Memphis Bleak]

No, the daughter, I guess.

[Nyla Simone]

I don't know.

[Memphis Bleak]

And you're right. She's like, in her 50s now.

[Kane Brown]

People get to be adults. It's weird. Yeah. And the people that were adults to us are now old.

[Memphis Bleak]

No, no, they're adults.

[Lunchbox]

So does she look like Roseanne?

[Memphis Bleak]

There's no picture of her. I think she's kind of keeping her private.

[Kane Brown]

She kind of looks like a young. Yeah, yeah. But she's also looks like she's like 40, right, Mike? Like, she's an adult.

[Memphis Bleak]

So she looked like Goldie Hawn?

[Kane Brown]

No, she kind of looks kind of like Roseanne in the face, like nose and mouth kinda. Yeah.

[Danielle Roubaix]

Isn't Goldie Hawn K. Hudson's mom?

[Kane Brown]

Correct.

[Memphis Bleak]

Yes.

[Kane Brown]

So, okay, you heard Kate Hudson sing.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, it's good.

[Kane Brown]

Really good.

[Memphis Bleak]

Really? She can't.

[Kane Brown]

Yeah, she's really good. She is. No, Tom Sandoval.

[Memphis Bleak]

He can sing now.

[Kane Brown]

That guy could sing really good. All right, we're done. Thank you, guys. We're out. We'll see you tomorrow. Is there anything. What is today Wednesday? I'm good. All right, we'll see you guys tomorrow. Have a great thanks to all the part tours. Thanks for listening to the podcast. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye, buddy.
